Sailors at Naval Air Station Key West celebrate the Navy’s 240th birthday with a cake cutting ceremony Oct. 10. A tradition calls for the youngest and oldest Sailors, in this instance AEAN Riley Barbour and Lt. Cmdr. John Fairweather, to cut the first piece. The Navy has had a presence in Key West since 1823, when the Mosquito Fleet established a depot at what is now Mallory Square. From NAS Key West Public Affairs
T
he Navy celebrated its 240th birthday Tuesday, recognizing action by the Continental Congress in 1775 to arm ships for the purpose of “... intercepting such transports as may be laden with warlike stores and other supplies for our enemies.” According to the Naval History and Heritage Command, a number of
people played a role in the Navy’s establishment. “The importance of the sea as a highway, a source of food or a battlefield, if necessary, was well understood by the American colonists. When the Revolution came, it was a natural impulse, therefore, that many men in numerous locations would play prominent roles in the founding of a national navy,” NHHC notes on its website, www. history.navy.mil.
In Key West, it was John Simonton who, 193 years ago, urged the Navy to establish a base here. Simonton purchased the island in 1821 and immediately began lobbying the government to establish a naval base because of Key West’s strategic location. Simonton also knew the Navy could bring law and order to the town. On March 25, 1822, Naval officer Matthew Perry sailed the schooner
Shark to Key West and surveyed the island to determine if it would make a suitable port. In April 1823 Navy Commodore David Porter arrived with his ships, referred to as the “Mosquito Fleet,” to establish a depot. The fleet, with 1,100 Sailors, patrolled Caribbean waters and the Gulf of Mexico, striking pirates and escorting American ships to safety. By 1860, the Navy was once again dispatched to
combat illegal slavers bringing human cargo through the Caribbean. During the short period in which they were active before the Civil War, the Navy squadron captured three ships and brought 1,432 captive Africans to Key West - the closest American port. The Navy continued to operate as a naval base for nearly a century, until its disestablishment in 1974, see Navy page 2

his past weekend my wife and I woke to a surprise that my 2-year-old daughter decided to create with absolute stealth in the room next to us. My toddler decided to raid our hurricane supply bin and set up a picnic for the family and apparently some guests as well. She had set up about 10 bowls and plates with plastic cutlery neatly arranged across the floor, which the cat enjoyed walking all over. My wife was the one who discovered this catered event and when I saw it, I could not help but laugh at the scenario. She was innocent. She was having fun. Despite the fact I had to clean all the plastic knives and spoons, it reminded me of the simplicity we need in life. We work to give the best to those we love. We put in long hours so our family has what they need and more. We pay for internet and cable to help entertain our children. We work the extra hours so our kids can have the next best gadget/toy. However, I have found that the box it came it can be more entertaining than the actual item we slaved to get. In the end, I have learned that my children and my wife do not

always want stuff, but time with me. It breaks my heart when I have to deny my children my time because I have some other event I have to attend, or if there is housework that has to be done and my schedule only allows that day for cleaning. In the near CHAPLAIN'S future, the ship CORNER will take me from them for months with no chance to read a story with them in my lap or play Crazy Eights for NAS Key West Command the hundredth Chaplain time in a row. Lt. I have to take Ethan Everts time to reflect on whether all of this toil is worth it. Granted, we have to pay bills and a house must be clean, but are we going too far and not seeing the simple but important responsibilities in front of us, like our families and friends? Ecclesiastes 4:7-12 is an important passage when considering all of this. Solomon wrote, “Again, I saw vanity under the sun.” The vanity he describes is a man working for riches with his eyes never being satisfied, all the while forgetting to ask one key question, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” The passage further describes the need to have others around
you so they can pick you up if you fall or keep you warm through the cold nights. Also, when adversity comes, the more standing with you the stronger you will be. So why do you toil? You must be careful in how you answer this because it can lead to a false motivation. If you work so your family can have the “best” life and all the comforts at the expense of building relationships with your spouse, children and friends then you are working in vain. Riches do not bring happiness. Having a lot of stuff does not bring your spouse true joy. Your children do not need all the latest and greatest to enjoy life. What we all need are relationships that are invested. We need people to pick us up when we fall. We need those who can comfort us when the nights seem coldest. We need people to stand with us when adversity comes our way. We need to enjoy life with loved ones and not just work in vanity. Come and enjoy your Sabbath with us at the Truman Chapel on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. for our Protestant worship service. If you are in need of care, call your chaplain at (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or (305) 292-8788, Coast Guard Sector Key West. God bless and enjoy life!
an ideal training facility for the Navy’s fledgling aviation force. Naval Air Station Key West was established when ground was broken for construction of a small coastal air patrol station on July 13, 1917, at what is now Trumbo Point. On Sept. 22 of that year, the base’s log book recorded the first naval flight ever made from Key West - a Curtiss N-9 sea plane flown by Coast Guard Lt. Stanley Parker. About three months later, on Dec. 18, 1917, Naval
Air Base Key West was commissioned and Parker became the first commanding officer. NAS Key West, which encompasses 5,800 acres with 25,000 square miles of protected air space, continues to train combat air crews. Tenants include the U.S. Army Special Forces Operations School, Coast Guard Sector Key West and Joint Interagency Task Force South. The Navy continues to be ready - then, now, always - to respond.

leven Naval Air Station Key West Sailors were teary eyed as they completed their Auxiliary Security Force training Thursday at Boca Chica Field. The course ended with the OC spray training in which trainees are sprayed with an irritant that makes the eyes water. The candidates then work their way through a course where they must block an attacker, practice baton techniques and attempt to take down an attacker. Once they have passed the course, the Sailors will support NAS Security forces.
