Armed Forces Day established to recognize all military forces From NAS Key West Public Affairs

S

aturday marks the 66th anniversary of Armed Forces Day, established to recognize and honor all members of the different military branches.

The day is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May. At Naval Air Station Key West, active duty military representing all branches of service annually compete in the Armed Forces Command Challenge at Sigsbee Field.

On Aug. 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days.

The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.

President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military

t amazes me that my greatest theological reminders and lessons don’t come from experienced ministers, chaplains or world leaders. They instead come from my children.

The most recent lesson came from my daughter who has wisdom at the ripe age of three.

You read it right. My 3-yearold taught me an important biblical lesson. It comes from her concept of time. She does not yet understand a.m. and p.m. She does not care if it is Monday or Friday. All she cares about is the month of June because grandpa is coming to town. These concepts govern her, but nonetheless she doesn’t care about time.

Instead, she understands three things about time: Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

She will tell me stories or ask me if I remember what happened yesterday. A majority of the time, the memories she is recalling happened weeks or months ago, but to her, it was yesterday.

She understands today as the time when she wakes up until the time she will fall asleep.

There are things she wants to do that aren’t feasibly possible, but she is three and wants to do them anyway.

When she learned that grand-

pa would be coming she started to ask each day, “Is grandpa coming tomorrow?” We told her that he won’t be coming until June. So, she now plans everyday what books he will read her tomorrow.

The simplicity of a child’s mind can be a CHAPLAIN'S place where we CORNER can find so many lessons. When she reminisces on yesterday’s memories, she reminds us of events that hapNAS Key West pened.

There Command Chaplain was some sort of emotion attached Lt. Ethan Everts to those events, whether they were positive or negative.

The past doesn’t interfere with her outlook of today. We cannot change the past but we can decide its impact. Will you let yesterday ruin your today? Have you surrendered your yesterdays to God? Her understanding of today is profound as well. It is a set time of when she is awake. She has a vision of the day. She has things she doesn’t look forward to at all, but even so, she focuses on today.

Even Jesus said not to worry about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about tomorrow.

Focus on this day and its issues (Matthew: 6:34). Allow God to be God of your life: Your yesterdays, todays and tomorrows.

members for their patriotic service in support of our countr At the first observation of Armed Forces Day, Truman praised the work of the military services at home and across the seas.

“It is vital to the security of the nation and to the establishment of a desirable peace,” said Truman.

Allow your “today” to glorify him in all you do. That is the only day you have any control over.

Finally, the lessons about tomorrow are important. We don’t get to make tomorrow happen faster. You can’t reach tomorrow if you only think about today.

Finally, we are sometimes so caught up in tomorrow that we forget about today. My daughter accepts that she cannot rush tomorrow, yet she knows that eventually tomorrow will become today.

This is a reminder that we cannot rush God in what we want in our tomorrows. We have to learn to patiently wait for them to become today.

Jesus said he will be coming back soon but our mission is to ready for him today, not tomorrow.

I hope you enjoyed the wisdom of a 3-year-old child. If you would like to meet this amazing theologian, she does come to Truman Chapel on Sundays (when she isn’t being a terror or suffering an illness). So, join us at the Chapel at 10:30 a.m. for our Protestant Worship service.

If you need chaplain care because of your yesterdays and the unknown tomorrows, contact your chaplain at (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or (305) 292-8788, Coast Guard Sector Key West.

God bless and enjoy your todays!

“Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950, marks the first combined demonstration by America’s defense team of its progress, under the National Security Act, towards the goal of readiness for any eventuality.

“It is the first parade of preparedness by the unified forces of our land, sea, and air defense,” said Truman.

This year’s theme is “America’s Military - Guardians of Freedom.”

he Naval Survival Training Institute announced May 17, the Navy is fully integrating the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device into aviation hypoxia training as a bridge to the more permanent normobaric hypoxia (oxygen reduced) trainer.

The portable ROBD is replacing the large, roomsized low-pressure chambers that were decommissioned at all eight Aviation

Survival Training Centers in March, said Capt.

Michael Prevost, NSTI assistant officer in charge.

The ASTCs execute the Navy’s aviation survival training program and are probably best known for their water survival training for pilots and flight crews. But they also train aviators to recognize the symptoms of hypoxia - a condition in which the body is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen.

Instructors do that by inducing hypoxia in the aviators.

Typically when pilots become hypoxic, it can greatly affect their ability to fly a plane. Ask pilots what it feels like, and they may compare it to “not feeling right” or simply feeling “a bit strange.”

To put it medically, the signs and symptoms are quite varied but can range from lightheadedness and a tingling sensation to complete unconsciousness.

The decommissioned low-pressure chambers had been a part of aviation training since 1947. The chambers induced hypoxia

by reducing the atmospheric pressure and oxygen level. However, physically changing the atmospheric pressure puts students at risk of decompression sickness, which typically occurs with a change in air pressure.

ROBD eliminates this risk. Instead of changing the atmospheric pressure, ROBD uses bottled gasses to feed an adjustable oxygen and nitrogen mixture to a pilot’s oxygen mask to produce the atmospheric see aviation page 5

Armed Forces Day Command Challenge

U.S. Navy photos by Jolene Scholl

An estimated 300 service members representing Naval Air Station Key West’s departments and tenants competed Friday for the championship title in the annual Armed Forces Day Command Challenge at Sigsbee ball fields. Organized by NAS Key West Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the events included a run, 3-on-3 basketball, SNAG golf, softball, soccer, horseshoes, football, pickleball, kickball, dodgeball, volleyball and hop ball hockey. Sponsors were Sparkling Ice, Waste Management, the NAS Key West CPOA, Military Affairs Committee, Navy League Key West Council, Balfour Beatty Homes and Fury Water Adventures.

oxygen contents for altitudes up to 34,000 feet.

ROBD training is also more realistic. In the traditional low-pressure chambers, hypoxic pilots and flight crew members were required to perform tasks that required simple coordination. By contrast, ROBD can be packed up and taken to a fleet simulator, permitting context-specific hypoxia training.

This Just In

“Instead of sitting in a low pressure chamber playing patty cake or playing with a shape box or something like that, we can put them at a set of aircraft controls and have them do aviation-type tasks,” Prevost said.

Prevost explained hypoxia is the number-one human factors issue for the F/A-18 Hornet and for the commander of Naval Air Forces.

He said ROBD addresses this issue by giving him and his team a much better way to train aviators for hypoxia. In addition to its mobil-

ity is its ability to allow the pilot train and re-train for hypoxia - something that was rather limited with the low pressure chamber due to the reported cases of decompression sickness.

Low-pressure chambers are expensive to operate and maintain, and they have reached the end of their operational life. By shutting them down the ASTCs avoid the risk of pushing them structurally, Prevost said.

In decommissioning the giant, steel low-pressure

chambers, the Navy is losing a longtime staple of the aviation training community. In its place is a more mobile and efficient tool.

The shift to a less expensive, more efficient and permanent training solution will be complete by 2017.

All pilots will use the ROBD trainer until the full implementation of normobaric hypoxia trainers occurs.

Once those trainers are in place, only pilots who fly with masks will continue using the ROBD.
