TTF training saves lives BY TERRYL ASLA tasla@soundpublishing.com

The following is based on May 9 interviews with instructors at Triton Training facility, Navy Base Kitsap — Bangor. BANGOR –– On 8 Jan. 2005, the fast-attack submarine USS San Francisco rammed into an undersea mountain — 6,900 tons of submarine slammed to an abrupt stop. The bow and the front ballast tanks were ruptured. Almost threequarters of the 137-member crew were injured; one later died. “It’s a miracle it didn’t sink,” said one Triton Training Facility instructor who saw the boat later. “The fact that we didn’t lose the boat and all aboard her is a credit to her crew and the training they got here at Trident Training Facility.” “Our job here is to put them in impossible situations,” said another instructor. “Situations with fire and flooding and equipment failures that are way beyond anything they may ever actually experience at sea.” Until it does happen, as the crew of the USS San Francisco learned. It’s all about procedures You have to be qualified for anything you do in the U.S. Navy, TTF instructors will tell you. That means having the proper procedures so ingrained in you that, in an emergency, you can act without thinking about it first. There’s a procedure for everything and you stick to the procedure, instructors like to say, because those procedures are based on hard-earned experiences. Bad experiences.

D-Day and the hanging

Training is credited with helping the crew of the USS San Francisco survive after the sub crashed into an undersea mountain at flank speed in 2005. U.S. Navy photo For example, on 1 March 2012, the Los Angeles-class attack submarine, USS Miami (SSN 755), entered the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine for a scheduled 20-month engineered overhaul and system upgrades. On 23 May 2012, a civilian employee accidentally started a fire in the forward spaces aboard the boat. By the time the fire was located, it was far advanced and there were complications. Lots of complications. “The hatches were full of crap,” recalls one TTF instructor, and by the time firefighters finally fought their way to the fire, they couldn’t stay long because their air bottles

were only good for 30 minutes. Ultimately, the fire did $450 million damage, destroying the crew’s living quarters, command and control spaces, and the torpedo room. The damage was so extensive that the Miami had to be decommissioned and scrapped. Any fire aboard a submarine is serious. But most are minor like a dryer fire, according to TTF instructors. After the Miami incident, the Navy recognized that the greatest fire risk comes when the boat is in drydock. As a result, now there is a fire training procedure for all shipyard employees; all shore-side

was a healer who never fired a shot in anger. But, by a twist of fate, those same skills [led me to the beaches of Normandy] and ultimately trapped me in a situation where I had to help hang an American soldier. D-Day None of us knew when D-Day would be. So it came as a surprise one morning when a remarkable noise woke me up. I came out of my tent and looked around for the source of the sound. It was coming from up in the air, but it was so loud I didn’t

realize what it was until I looked up. What appeared to be thousands and thousands of planes were flying overhead on their way to France … It was just amazing to see how many planes we had — planes twelve at a time, twenty at a time. It was absolutely amazing to see them flying overhead … I had never seen anything like it. I was thrilled and my adrenaline was pumping like mad. Several days later, Dr. Kasha’s hospital group crossed to France. In France, it was cloudy … [and] we didn’t have any equipment. So, we all slept on the ground that night. I didn’t take off my clothes, but I did remove my shoes because I was tired of wearing them ... All of a sudden I felt rain on my face. The first thing I did was to turn my boots upside-down so it wouldn’t rain in them. It rained, and rained, and rained, and we were in mud all the time. The mud just stuck to you and clung like a leech. If you stepped in some deep mud, you’d have trouble getting your feet out of it because it was so thick and gooey. Finally, our pup tents arrived and See HANGING, Page 2

for some time, maybe a month or so, and then we were moved to a hospital in Cherbourg. We were stationed at a hospital the Germans had built down below the ground in a basement to escape the bombing. They were very nice facilities and we were quite happy there … I enjoyed Cherbourg and sending thousands and thousands of wounded men home on ships. I would go down to the docks and see that they were loaded properly. We had German prisoners to carry them and they were very careful. We made sure of that. The German prisoners started working for us because they knew they had no choice. They got along well with us, and we didn’t have any trouble with them. We sometimes had three or four ships ready to load to take men back to the states or to other areas. It was very interesting to see those long lines of prisoners carrying American wounded on the stretchers … One day while I was at work, I heard a very loud noise … I could tell it wasn’t from too far off. Shortly thereafter, some ambulances came in with people whose truck had run over a land mine. Several American soldiers were injured, but most of the victims were German

“We had German prisoners to carry [injured American soldiers] and they were very careful. We made sure of that. ” prisoners. One prisoner came to me holding something in his hand. When I asked him what he had, he showed me. It was his ear. He had a bandage over where his ear should have been, but he had his ear in his hand. I couldn’t speak German, so I asked if he understood English and he said he did. I told him that I thought I could sew it back on. I did sew his ear back on and it stayed, thanks to the Lord … The hanging While I was in Cherbourg, I got a call one morning from a two-star general. He said, “Captain, you’ve been recommended by your commanding officer as a man who can keep his mouth shut. I have something that I need your help in. We have an American soldier in prison here in Cherbourg and he has been sentenced to death for rape. I would like you to go down to the prison and see how his health is.”

“What difference does it make if you’re going to hang him?” I asked. “We have a rule in the Army that we will not hang a sick person,” he replied. I went to the prison and the soldier had a cold. I could see that his nose was running. I told him that I would come back to see him later, but that I couldn’t tell him why I was there. He said, “Oh, I know why you’re here. They’re going to hang me and I have to be in good health before I can be hanged.” “Well, that’s about right,” I told him. “But you have a cold and I will report it.” I got in touch with the commanding officer. He told me to go by and see him in a week to check whether his cold was better, which I did. The next week, I called the general and told him that the prisoner seemed to be well. The general said, “Well, I’ll set the date for the hanging and inform the relatives of the two girls that were raped, so that they can be present at the hanging if they wish to be.” The day of the hanging, the general called me and then sent a Jeep that took me out to the farm where the two girls had been raped. The girls were good friends and their parents owned adjoining farms. The hanging was going to take place right between the two farms. About twenty of the girls’ family

members and friends were there when I arrived. The scaffolding was already prepared with the rope and the trapdoor set. The commanding officer was the same two-star general. He took command, and issued orders as to what was to be done. The man to be hanged was brought up onto the scaffolding. The noose was put around his neck, and a blindfold was put over his eyes. He seemed to be calm enough. I thought he might be very weepy or emotional, but he wasn’t. He was just very calm.

“We have a rule in the Army that we will not hang a sick person. ” The general looked about to see if everything was ready and then he pressed the button. The trap door opened and the man dropped through … I went in underneath the scaffolding. I had my stethoscope with me. I checked his heart and it was still beating … “Wait five minutes and go back and check him again.” One of the spectators asked in English, “What’s wrong?” I told him that the man had not passed away as yet, the heart was still beating. I went back in five minutes … and by that time the man was dead. When I pronounced him dead, then there was an audible, “Ah-h-h-h” from the crowd. They were glad it was over and that he had paid the penalty for his crimes. The general thanked me and then sent a Jeep to return me to my hospital unit. — Dr. Kasha’s book, and other WWII memoirs, are part of the award-winning “I, Witness to History” program, www.larksfieldplace. org/media/files/witnessto-history/.

Training

Continued from page 1 services are handled so as to minimize fire hazards; and firefighters now carry 45 minutes worth of air for their respirators. No detail was too small to be overlooked; even emergency battle lanterns were upgraded to LEDs so that they put out more light and last longer. Getting those procedures right puts an added burden on TTF instructors. “You’re putting out information that goes to the fleet,” said one instructor. “If you screw up, you have to own it. I accidentally put out the wrong information and I had to call all of my students in the class and let them know that I had unintentionally put out the wrong information.” What it takes to be a TTF instructor Remember the old saying that, “Those who can, do. And those who can’t teach.” In the U.S. Navy, those who can, do. And only those who do it best are asked to teach at TTF. Instructors serve a three-year tour at TTF. No specific rate or rank is

required to be an instructor. Rather, the Navy is looking for a few good men and women who are submarine qualified and who are system experts with outstanding qualifications and excellent evaluations. Prior teaching experience is not required; all instructors go through a three-week Navy instructor school. “As an instructor, you can see the finished product, said one instructor. “You know that the people you train are going out to sea and in harm’s way. We make sure they follow pro-

cedures. In the trainers, we watch and pull them out if things go wrong. That’s where most of the good stuff happens — in the trainers.” Training for fire, flood and more The trainers at TTF include the navigation trainer, attack trainer, and the strategic trainers: small arms, torpedoes, fire and flooding. There is also a mock-up reactor trainer that simulate all of the things that can go wrong in that department. Fire and flooding are two of the greatest dangers

at sea and every effort is made to make that training realistic — and relatively safe. There’s one instructor in the wet room for every 12 students. In the more hazardous fire trainer, there’s one instructor for every two students. The water in the wet room is never supposed to come up above the neck of the shortest student and there’s a “do not fill above this line” mark on the control room window in case someone forgets. To reduce the likelihood of colds and hypothermia, the water in the wet room is

warmed up to 70 degrees — something that didn’t used to happen. “In the old days, the water was stored outside and was the same temperature as the air,” recalled one retired master chief. “In the winter time, sometimes they had to break the ice.” Crew-building is job one Some 20 to 30 percent of a submarine crew turns over every nine months and the TTF services 23 submarine crews.

TOLMAN’S TALES | JEFF TOLMAN

What the D-Day invasion means to us today

Today and always, let us never forget

uch of what the world is today is because of what happened on those beaches in France on June 6, 1944. More than 150,000 troops poured onto the beaches of Normandy, France, to wrest control of the country from German forces, who were entrenched there in their steady march to take over Europe. The National D-Day Museum website explains the day this way: “After years of meticulous planning and seemingly endless training, for the Allied Forces, it all came down to this: The boat ramp goes down, then jump, swim, run, and crawl to the cliffs. Many of the first young men (most not yet 20 years old) entered the surf carrying eighty pounds of equipment. They faced over 200 yards of beach before reaching the first natural feature offering any protection. Blanketed by small-arms fire and bracketed by artillery, they found themselves in hell.” When it was over, the Allied Forces had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties; more than 4,000 were dead. Yet, due to planning and preparation, and to the valor and sacrifice of those troops, Fortress Europe was breached. “More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the DDay invasion, and by day’s end, on June 6th, the Allies gained a foothold in Normandy,” Under Secretary of the Army Joseph W. Westphal said in 2012. “The D-Day cost was high. More than 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed and wounded. But more than 100,000 soldiers began to march across Europe to defeat Hitler and Nazi Germany.” On June 6, look to the skies. Imagine the sounds of B-17s and P-51s. Those planes are saying that the events of June 6, 1944 are relevant on June 6, 2016. And that we can’t forget. “It is important that [young people] recognize that the freedoms they enjoy today are a result of the sacrifice of millions of people from all over the world that ensured their liberty,” Westphal said in 2012. “No greater act of bravery was ever carried out than that of millions of citizen soldiers and civilians who faced and defeated tyranny and rebuilt this country and the world.”

So that successive generations will know the enormous cost of freedom. So that our children and grandchildren will never forget the stories of those who fought here. So that the passage of time and the thinning of their ranks will never dim the glory of their deeds.” Or, as Secretary of State Colin Powell responded when he was asked if America was empirebuilding through its military efforts See TOLMAN, Page 5

A busy visit to Washington, D.C.

ne of my responsibilities as the national president of the Navy Wives Clubs of America, Inc. is making a trip to Washington, D.C. and visiting with those that have information for us. As I stood in the Seattle airport waiting for my flight, I was thinking about what I wanted to accomplish on this trip. For the organization, “recognition” and “visibility.” For the spouses, voicing their concerns to the appropriate people. Let’s see if these things were accomplished.

My first stop was the Washington Navy Yard, where I met the director of Naval Services Family Line Beth Malloy and her team. This is where you can get all those great little books, such as “Sea Legs,” “Social Customs and Traditions of the Sea Services,” “Guidelines on Transfers and Moving,” “Are You Ready? Emergency Preparedness.” They also sponsor the Compass classes, which are full of information for the new or not-sonew spouse. These things are all free. Just contact their website

and ask: www.nsfamilyline.org. My next stop was the Pentagon to visit with Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Ronald Green. I was so glad that he was still busy so I could get my breath. It is one big place! The sergeant major is a very nice man and very interested in our organization and what it does. He is also on the advisory committee for the Commissary and Exchange, so what better time to mention our concerns. I asked him what had changed, that some of the prices were higher than on the outside. He mentioned quality, and if you are getting better quality the See PRICE, Page 5

Eventually, I learned that we can change our negative views in any situation by changing our perceptions of that situation and by changing our actions. Military spouses can find a way to reach their career goals and keep their identities. Here are three steps I’ve found that help me.

Due to the death of a Navy SEAL, my next appointment with the Master Chief of the Navy had to be canceled. However, I had a nice telephone interview with him. He talked about opportunities for Navy Wives Clubs of America to continue their support of Family Readiness. I asked about the new retirement plan and how it will affect enlistment.

goal, there is an answer for who, what, when, where, and how. Identify those answers to determine your long-term goal. Next, plan one-year goals that will help you reach your long-term goal. One-year goals are extremely good for military spouses. One-year goals challenge us to consider possibilities, as life can be unpredictable. For instance, if you want a degree, but there is a possibility of a PCS within the year, find a school that can work with you. Look for programs that allow you take your time or that allow you to transfer your credits to another institution or campus or be an online student. If, for some reason you do not reach a one-year goal, it’s not the end of the world. Add it to your list for next year and try again. Third, involve yourself in tasks that will help you reach those one-year goals and, thus, your ultimate goal. For exam-

Two local organizations honor active-duty, veterans Navy League honors Bremerton Hospital’s top sailors

SILVERDALE — Naval Hospital Bremerton’s 2015 Sailor of the Year, Junior Sailor of the Year, and Blue Jacket of the Year were recognized by the Navy League of the United States Bremerton/ Olympic Peninsula Council during a recent luncheon at Bangor Plaza on Naval Station Kitsap — Bangor. Council President Tim Katona presented each honoree with an engraved soaring eagle statuette. Naval Hospital Bremerton’s commanding officer, Capt. David Weiss, and Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman (FMF/SW) Jerry Currier, were also on hand to introduce and help recognize their standouts for their hard work and individual efforts. Weiss was also the luncheon keynote speaker. The Junior Sailor of the Year was HM2(FMF) Christopher Spangler of Eureka, California, who served as leading petty officer (LPO) of the Indoctrination Division within the hospital’s Staff Education and Training

Olympic College pays tribute to veterans and active-duty military BREMERTON –- On May 11, about 125 veterans, students, faculty, and guests attended The Tribute to Veterans and Active-Duty Military at Olympic College’s Bremerton Student Center. Olympic College President David Mitchell, Ph.D., emphasized the bond between the school and its veteran student body, noting that 20 percent of the college’s students are either veterans, active-duty or military dependents.

David Weiss, CO, Naval Hospital Bremerton; HMCS (FMF/SW) Jerry Currier, holding the award for Sailor of the Year MA2 (EW) Michael Bradley Jr., who was unable to attend; HM2 (FMF) Christopher Spangler, Junior Sailor of the Year; and Hospitalman Tryzon Valenci, Blue Jacket of the Year. Contributed photo Department. Spangler, who has since been reassigned as LPO of the Multi-Service Ward, thanked the council for the presentation. “I want to thank you guys for recognizing us here and inviting us to lunch, and especially for allowing us to get out into the community and see all the faces of people appreciative of what we do. It’s a great honor.” The Blue Jacket of the Year was Hospitalman Tryzon Valencia, who served as limited duty

assistant within the Patient Administration Department, which takes care of all admits and discharges. According to Currier, Valencia also assisted all the military members on limited duty -currently about 100 people -- and served as the fleet liaison to help the fleet with any medical questions they may have about limited duty status. Currier noted that Valencia is a second-generation corpsman, taking after his father. “I’m honored to be

The school recently received a major federal grant to increase retention and graduation rates of veterans, which is the already highest in the nation, he said. OC also has the secondhighest veteran population in Washington state. “(We) continue to be recognized as one of the most military-friendly colleges in the nation,” Mitchell said. Craig Seybold, Olympic College electronics discipline faculty lead, noted that one-half of the students in his program are veterans and active-duty military who are learning specialties that can transfer to civilian work. Capt. Tom Zwolfer, commanding officer of Naval Base Kitsap, also emphasized continuous education for service members to expand their skill sets beyond military training.

“Education is important,” Wolfer said. “The military supports uniformed personnel in furthering their education through various training opportunities and ways to earn college degrees. It’s no secret: most jobs are becoming more and more specialized. “It’s critical to have programs like Olympic College offers right here in Kitsap and Mason counties. They’ve expanded their programs over the years to meet the [changing] needs of their students and the job market.” He added, “I firmly believe education never hurt anyone. In fact, the more you know, the more you open your mind to new experiences, new opportunities, new adventures.”

recognized as Blue Jacket of the Year,” Valencia said after the presentation. “If you ask anyone at the hospital, they’ll tell you there are a lot of outstanding people working there. So I’m humbled to have been selected among them.” The Sailor of the Year, Master-at-Arms First Class (Expeditionary Warfare) Michael Bradley Jr., was not able to attend. Bradley is the LPO for the Administration Directorate, the largest department in the hospital. According to his citation, Bradley’s

“enthusiasm and contributions epitomized the Navy Medical Department’s motto, ‘World Class Care … anytime, anywhere’ and provided tangible evidence of the vital role that the enlisted community plays in today’s Navy.” About the Sailor of the Year program The U.S. Navy established Sailor of the Year program to recognize superior performance of petty officers with emphasis on outstanding achievements, exemplary personal conduct and military bearing, and demonstrated initiative in performance. The recognition program starts at the unit level (ship, shore command, aviation squadron, etc.). Each honoree then competes at the next higher organizational level until one Navy-wide Sailor of the Year is selected for each of four areas: Pacific Fleet, Atlantic Fleet, Reserve Force, and Shore Support Commands. About the Navy League Founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt, the NLUS is a civilian organization supporting the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and U.S.-flagged Merchant Marine. It is a worldwide organization with 46,000 members in more than 250 councils, including more than 700 corporate and community

affiliate members. The three main objectives of the NLUS are to educate national leaders and public about the vital importance of a capable and fully prepared sea services, to support the men and women of the sea services and their families, and to advocate maintenance of a strong U.S. industrial base to secure America’s future. Online: http://bremolym picnlus.wordpress.com. About Naval Hospital Bremerton Naval Hospital Bremerton is a fully accredited acute care and obstetrical hospital, with 23 in-patient beds and a variety of ambulatory, acute and specialty clinics. The main Naval Hospital Bremerton campus is located in Bremerton with branch clinics at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Naval Base Kitsap Bangor and Naval Station Everett. More than 1,400 doctors, nurses, hospital corpsmen and support staff administer compassionate, professional care to more than 60,000 eligible military families throughout West Puget Sound. The hospital has three primary missions: provide exceptional care anytime and anywhere; shape military medicine through training, mentoring and research; and prepare armed forces for deployment.

Battle of Midway ceremony at NBK - Bremerton on June 3 BREMERTON –- Capt. John Ring, commanding officer of USS Nimitz, will be the guest speaker at Naval Base Kitsap’s annual commemoration of the Battle of Midway at 9 a.m. June 3, at Pier Charlie at NBK — Bremerton. The Battle of Midway is regarded as one of the U.S. Navy’s, and the nation’s, most historically significant naval victories in World War II. The battle raged from June 4-7, 1942, and changed the tide of the war in the Pacific and the course of world history. Because of the victory, Japanese forces were pre-

vented from capturing strategically significant Midway Island. Equally significant, this was the first carrier-to-carrier battle, thus marking the coming of age of carrier aviation and the end of the battleship as the “queen of battle.” Having broken the Japanese codes, Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet, was able to ambush the Japanese invasion fleet and directed the fleet to victory. It was an enormous gamble at this point in the war as the U.S. Navy threw almost all of its remaining carrier assets

into the battle. All four of Japan’s large aircraft carriers — Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu — and a heavy cruiser were sunk, while the U.S. lost the carrier Yorktown and a destroyer. To remember and honor the sacrifices of those who participated in this epic battle, a wreath-laying ceremony will be conducted. Additionally, Navy Band Northwest will provide music for the event. Anyone with base access is welcome to attend the event. World War II veterans who would like to attend the ceremony are asked to call 360-627-4030.

Museums offer free admission to families Three Bainbridge Island nonprofit museums will offer free admission to all active-duty military and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2016. The effort is part of Blue Star Museums, a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more than 2,000 U.S. museums. The three museums are Kids Discovery Museum (www.kidimu.org), Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (www.biartmuseum. org) and Bainbridge Island Historical Museum (www. bainbridgehistory.org). “[We] are honored to be returning participants of the Blue Star Museums initiative and express our gratitude to military families for their service,” KiDiMu Executive Director Susie Burdick said. “We are collectively thrilled to offer a wide variety of cultural and educational enrichment opportunities to military families this summer.”

Located in a 1908 restored island schoolhouse, the award-winning nonprofit historical museum features exhibits and a research library (free to the public). Subject and biographical files, oral histories, videos, books, and historic photographs cover a wide range of historic eras and themes, including Native American culture, early explorers, lumber and shipbuilding industries, agriculture, WWII, and the Japanese-American internment histories. The Bainbridge Island Art Museum opened June 14, 2013. In its seven galleries, the museum exhibits, interprets, preserves, collects, and promotes works of proven cultural value as well as new works by emerging artists and craftspeople. Opened in 2005, Kids Discovery Museum provides a destination for children and their caregivers to explore art, science, and culture through hands-on exhibits, daily art projects, cultural and scientific programming. All three museums are

located just a short walk away from the ferry terminal, with easy access via public transportation or by car from the Kitsap Peninsula. “The Blue Star Museums program is a fun, free activity for military families to enjoy during the summer months,” NEA Chairman Jane Chu said. “[It’s] a great way for service-member families to connect to their new communities, and it can provide a meaningful way for families to reconnect after deployment. The Blue Star Museums program is also a perfect way for the arts community to say ‘thank you’ to our service members and their families for the sacrifices they make on our behalf, every day.” This year, more than 2,000 museums in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa are taking part in the initiative. A complete list of participating museums is available at arts.gov/national/ blue-star- museums.

and increase proficiency when they are not deployed. Trident Training Facility allows them to safely execute challenging missions and push our submarines to their limits to better support our nation. “Training develops warfighting capability and endurance, and ensures readiness and operational proficiency to safely and stealthily execute challenging missions.”

A machinist’s mate inspects the ports and plugs on a MK-48 training torpedo in the Weapons Team Trainer. Sailors work together to stop flooding in the chill waters of the Damage Control Wet Trainer. Instructors can increase the power of the incoming water to simulate water pressures down to several hundred feet.

Sailors receive hands-on training inside the Ship Control Team Trainer. Imagine flying an airliner with no windows. The trainer is designed to help submariners prepare for deployments by learning how to dive and drive a submarine in a controlled environment.
