Nimitz officer killed while helping motorist on icy road

By JJ Swanson jswanson@soundpublishing.com

It took days, but the recent stretch of winter storms and foul weather Monday claimed a life in Kitsap County.

Navy Lt. Cmdr. Regina Mills, 44, an aircraft handling officer aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68), was killed Jan. 23 while trying to help a motorcyclist who had lost control on an icy stretch of SR-16.

Navy firemen protect Kitsap County

Budget cuts for local fire departments means leaning on the Navy

By JJ Swanson jswanson@soundpublishing.com

Naval Base Kitsap’s Federal Fire Department fought side-by-side with the Bremerton Fire Department and Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue teams during the recent Desert Sun tanning salon fire in Silverdale – a three-alarm commercial fire that destroyed six businesses Jan. 8. The Navy provided two

aerial ladder platforms to attack the flames from the roof of the building and the crew stayed on until all hotspots were put out, said Kurt Waeschle, assistant chief of Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services.

“They came right in and they’re part of the team,” said Brian Marceau, firefighter for Bremerton Fire Department.

“For big fires, we’re used to having them there.”

Navy firefighters responded to approximately 767 non-base fire calls in the region this year. That means that they are out on at least 2 calls a day outside of the installation fighting fires for the county and city.

The Navy assisted in 35 percent for CKF&R’s 823 fire-related calls and were also present at 148 of Bremerton Fire Department’s fires last year.

Officials at Bremerton Fire Department and Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue reported that they could not run the same level of fire-response without Navy assistance due to budget cuts to their departments this year.

“We’ve had to rely on them quite a bit,” said Chief Al Duke of Bremerton Fire Department. “I’ve never seen a department fully funded the way they want to be. There’s a limitation to dollars collected.”

Duke explained that his department took a 3.4 percent pay cut across the board in 2012 to maintain their staff.

They also lost the assistant fire chief ’s position due to the city’s cuts.

Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue also reported a $1.2 million reduction in its

Memorial FOD walk-down held at sea

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class (SW) Byron C. Linder USS Carl Vinson Public Affairs

USS CARL VINSON, At Sea (NNS) -- Sailors assigned to Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17 held a memorial foreign object damage walk-down Jan. 25, for a fellow shipmate who was killed two days prior.

Lt. Cmdr. Regina Mills, formerly Rogers, was assigned to USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in Bremerton, Wash., as the Navy’s only female aircraft handling officer. She was struck and killed by a vehicle when she stopped to assist others involved in a traffic collision in Gig Harbor, Wash., Jan. 23.

Though she was never stationed aboard Vinson, she made an impact as a member of the Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (AB) community, explained Master Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (AW/SW) Raul

Castillo, an El Paso, Texas, native and Vinson’s senior enlisted aircraft handler.

Castillo served with Mills for two tours of duty, one aboard the Nimitz and one at Afloat Training Group San Diego. She was his division officer at both commands. “Being part of such a small community, we all know each other,� he said, explaining how the Navy’s 21 total platforms for ABs to serve at sea, combined with high attrition and turnover rates, resulted in longtime ABs being a premium. “Everybody loved her and respected her passion for life. She shared a lot of moments with me that would have broken a person down, but her passion for life is what will always stick with me.�

Castillo said FOD walkdowns were a favorite for Mills, and a memorial FOD walk-down was most appropriate. “In the seven years I knew her, that was her thing,� said Castillo. “She found it a way

to relax. When she called it, she’d take off her gear and go out there. She really liked being out there with the young ABs. She was a big promoter of female ABs because there are not very many, and the places she went in her career should be very inspirational to young female ABs to pursue the same route.�

Hundreds of Sailors from a wide range of departments and divisions gathered on the flight deck for the walk-down. At 4:26 p.m., the attendees observed a moment of silence. The walk-down commenced one minute later, and concluded at 4:35 p.m., the sun descending on Vinson’s port side.

Chief Religious Programs Specialist (SW/AW/FMF) Monica Kuhl, a Cheyenne, Wyo., native and USS Carl Vinson Command Religious Ministries department leading chief petty officer, was one of the hundreds in attendance. She had served aboard the Nimitz with Mills, and noted her influ-

optimum safety on board an aircraft carrier, an inherently dangerous environment, she died as a result of trying to assist a person faced with potential danger. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family,� said Capt.

Paul O. Monger, USS Nimitz commanding officer.

Authorities said, that Mills drove her car onto the shoulder of the road near the Burnham Drive exit when she saw the motorcyclist’s bike lying on its side in the right lane of the roadway.

Several other cars were also stuck on the shoulder when Mills arrived.

Trooper Criss and Mills helped the motorcyclist to the right shoulder when a pick-up truck approaching the scene swerved and knocked several other cars into the shoulder, said Trooper Guy Gill, spokesman for the Washington

State Patrol.

One vehicle struck the group, killing Mills. Trooper Criss sustained injuries on his knee, shoulder and face.

The motorcyclist received “minor injuries,� according to the state patrol press release.

In the end, seven vehicles were involved in the early morning collision. “So many cars were hit and on the side of that road, it’s still being put together by investigators how,� said Trooper Guy Gill, spokesman for the Washington State Patrol.

Gill said that there were many factors in the accident.

The road conditions that morning were “poor� and all the vehicles involved were not equipped with snow chains or tires. “Those quick freezes we get from 4 to 6 a.m. catch a lot of people off guard,� Gill said.

She had to overcome some hurdles that we as males did not, and I always respected her for that.� “The AB community lost not only a great person but a great AB and one of my personal friends,� Castillo added. “She truly will be missed.

Speed was a factor as well, Gill explained. Though the speed limit on that stretch of roadway is 50 mph, he cautioned that during this time of year everyone should be increasing their following distance and reducing their overall speed.

Mills’ hometown was Louisville, Ky. “Regina was a great leader and officer. She was a leader and mentor not only to the Sailors and officers in the Air Department, but throughout the ship,�

Monger said. “It would be difficult to find anyone aboard Nimitz whose life or career here wasn’t positively influenced by her.�

Feds use database to keep service members aware of local swindlers

By Lisa Daniel American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – Their presence outside military bases has become all too familiar: businesses peddling cars, electronics and other items with undisclosed conditions or sky-high interest rates that quickly become a financial nightmare for service members.

Wednesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced as one of its first orders of business that it is partnering with the Federal Trade Commission to put a stop to such scams.

The bureau, which was created to consolidate financial regulators and protect consumers, has created a national database to share between state and federal law enforcement with information about companies that target military members for consumer and financial fraud.

Richard Cordray, the former Ohio attorney general whom President Barack Obama appointed as director of the bureau earlier this month, said coordination among law enforcement

agencies -- and their input -- is critical to prosecuting scam artists who prey on service members and their families.

The database -- dubbed ROAM for Repeat Offenders Against the Military -- is accessible only by law enforcement, and is an extension of the FTC’s Military Sentinel Network, a public website where people can report scams against service members, Cordray said.

New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, who attended today’s announcement, came up with the idea for the database after filing a lawsuit in 2010 against Rome Finance Co. of Concord, Calif., for defrauding nearly a thousand soldiers at Fort Drum, N.Y., as well as service members in at least five other states. The company agreed to repay $3.5 million to the Fort Drum soldiers and restore their consumer credit ratings in a legal agreement reached in August.

Schneiderman called the case “one of the most egregious things I’ve seen in my time� in which the company’s retailer, SmartBuy, sold laptop com-

Window Island

puters at highly inflated prices to service members. Under the scam, he said, service members were forced to use the company’s financing plan, which was paid directly from their military paychecks with interest rates that eventually hit 19 percent. Some soldiers ended up paying more than $7,000 for a computer worth no more than $2,000, he said.

The Fort Drum soldiers were particularly vulnerable, Schneiderman said, because the base was “an extremely active jumping-off point� for deployments to Iraq, with soldiers busy and distracted by their jobs and relocations.

Few are more familiar with the situation than Holly Petraeus, the bureau’s assistant director of service member affairs and wife of retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, CIA director and former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. “As someone who has lived in military communities my entire life, I’ve

Navy updates tuition assistance policy WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Policy changes to the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance program and Navy Voluntary Education were announced in NAVADMIN 029/12, released Jan. 24.

The changes were needed to provide better quality control over courses taken by service members as well as to reflect the realities of fiscal pressure to reduce Department of Defense (DoD) spending. “Navy leadership is committed to providing Sailors the opportunity to pursue their education goals,� said Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk. “We know the investment we make in Sailors comes back to the Navy in numerous ways. It’s

an investment well made in our workforce to make them better critical thinkers, performers and ultimately, better Sailors.�

DoD instruction 13222.25 released in March 2011 required a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with academic institutions and DoD by January 1 to be eligible to receive TA funding.

DoD recently moved the due date to April 1.

As a result, the Navy’s policies for authorizing Tuition Assistance (TA) have changed and Sailors will not be able to use TA for courses at intuitions without a signed MOU by April 1. To help Sailors through this transition process, Sailors who meet all requirements

for TA and submit a command-approved TA request prior to April 1 for courses beginning between April 1 and May 1 will be approved for TA regardless of their institution’s DoD MOU status.

Sailors who meet all the above requirements but whose TA request is submitted after April 1 will be approved for TA only if their institution has a signed

New perspective Starting a month or two before the March 2003 restart of the ground war in Iraq, I argued that the Pentagon should use special operations forces carrying large sums of cash, and ready access to more, to track down Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti. I’ve maintained the argument across nine years since each time people ask my stance on the war in Iraq.

Seemingly simple, yet totally possible in the culture of the Middle East, buy loyalty with cash and then hunt Saddam with special operations groups to capture or kill him. A few thousand people handle the work that took hundreds of thousands to do under the Bush administration’s approach.

Light fast and lethal is exactly how President Obama got Osama bin Laden. At his command, Navy SEALs went into a foreign country, that we were not at war with, and took over the Abbottabad compound of bin Laden, killed him and then removed him to U.S. territory. No war was started with Pakistan.

Special operations Tuesday again showed REG an expected deftness in their ability to KINNER execute a military operation without the supply train in tow.

It was the supply train that President Dwight Eisenhower warned the nation against in his parting presidential speech. The challenge he offered was to resist the military industrial complex, which has the ability to reach from a frontline anywhere, through Congress, all the way to your grandchild’s piggy bank. The supply train ought not be misused or driven into existence by defense corporations.

The former supreme commander turned commander in chief said our military might should be used in the interest of world peace and human betterment. He did not, however, advocate large military forces as job creation.

“Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved,” he said.

Think of the cost difference between the two ways of thinking human and dollars. The traditional heavy slow and costly pyramid approach vs. sharp snap of special operations.

Leon Panetta and the drove of Pentagon based leadership say they can cut the $487 billion from the defense budget and still protect the American way of life. The Navy SEALs and other special operations units prove it possible.

Sam’s Club: Fear of the Unknown and Bulky My children leisurely eat popcorn while they watch Obi-Wan Kenobi defeat Anakin Skywalker in the battle of Mustafar.

We have a life-size, talking Darth Vader in our basement. Dustin once read “Frankenstein” to the boys as a bedtime story.

So, you would think my three boys, ages 5 to 11, could handle most anything. But I have found their Achilles tendon, the kryptonite, if you will, for the Smiley boys. Turns out, Ford, Owen and Lindell can’t handle Sam’s Club.

Why didn’t I see this coming? My kids are infamous for bad behavior at a regular grocery store.

Sam’s Club is like Food Lion on steroids. I should have been prepared.

But I didn’t even consider Sam’s Club as a shopping option until recently. Why it took me 35 years to find a warehouse full of food, I cannot say.

Having my third son should have been an obvious prompt for other people more in the know to suggest the idea of bulk-food shopping to me. There I was buying soup can-by-can at the local grocery store when I could have been buying a whole flat of it.

Thankfully, I was finally made aware of these missed opportunities when a friend mentioned that I could buy Goldfish crackers by the pound at Sam’s Club.

And Sam’s Club might sell other things like televisions, underwear and books. You will have to stay right with me so you don’t get lost.”

The boys looked at each other sideways. Lindell alternated between excitement (floor-to-ceiling food!) and apprehension (floor-to-ceiling food).

I saw their confused, almost frightened, faces in the rearview mirror.

“We will all be OK if we stick together,” I said.

Inside, the first thing we had to do was apply for a membership. Ford looked cross, and in the absence of his father away on a military deployment, my oldest son took on the frugal-dad role.

“I do not agree with applying for entrance to this warehouse,” Ford said. And when I took out my checkbook, he balked even more. “You’re going to pay these people for the right to spend more money in their store?”

Next, I stood in front of the camera. All new members have to get their picture taken, and mine, of course, was as unattractive as any driver’s license mug shot, but with the added “benefit” of three boys doing rabbit ears behind me.

Nautilus crew remembers first atomic sub GROTON, Conn. (NNS) – Former crew members of the Historic Ship USS Nautilus offered their ref lections of serving aboard the U.S. Navy’s first nuclear-powered submarine in advance of the 58th anniversary of its launching Jan. 21.

Former submariner Al Charette served aboard Nautilus in 1957 as a first class sonarman. “Not only the first nuclear powered submarine in the Navy, it was the world’s first nuclearpowered vessel. It was also the world’s first ship to reach the North Pole,� said Charette. “A lot of earlier exploration ships attempted it, but didn’t achieve the North Pole.

A lot of people visited the North Pole, some by plane, by dog sled, but our submarine will be remembered as the first ship in history to reach the North Pole.�

Sailors enrolled in Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE) courses will not be affected by the DoD MOU requirement.

The NAVADMIN also outlines the requirement for Sailors to obtain a satisfactory grade of a “D� for undergraduatelevel courses and a “C� for graduate-level courses. Sailors who fail to obtain a satisfactory grade will be required to payback TA funds.

The Navy will continue to provide TA funds up through the master’s degree level

However, effective with the release of the NAVADMIN, the Navy will no longer authorize TA funding for new program starts above the master’s degree level.

The approximately 550 officers and enlisted actively pursuing doctoral-level degrees before the release of the NAVADMIN will be able to continue until completion of their degree program.

The combined cap for tuition and fees remains at $250 per semester hour for up to 16 semester hours of course work a year.

Nautilus was decommissioned from the U.S. Navy in 1980 and towed to Groton, Conn. in 1985 to become part of the Submarine Force Museum. The museum opened the submarine for tours to the public in April 1986. “For most people who visit the Submarine Force Museum, this will be the only time they ever go onboard a Navy vessel,� said Lt. Cmdr.

Robert Sawyer, officerin-charge, Historic Ship Nautilus. “The Nautilus crew works very hard to preserve the submarine and ensure it is available for generations to come.

The crew also provides a chance for the public to talk to Sailors about their experiences in the Navy.�

Nautilus is the only nuclear-powered submarine currently on public display.

William Engdall, a former Nautilus commissioning crew member served on board from 1953 to 1956. “I served on board Nautilus with an exceptional crew of officers and enlisted men who were as concerned with their shipmates’ careers as they were their own, and the camaraderie they displayed, directly influenced my decision to make the Navy a career,� said Engdall. “The Nautilus was nothing like the two diesel boats that I had previously served aboard.

Among the latest scams, Petraeus said, is one in which people claim they can help elderly veterans with their applications to receive the Veterans Affairs Aid and Attendance benefit, which can pay as much as $2,000 per month.

Navy announces 2012 schedule for Navy Week MILLINGTON, Tenn.

(NNS) – From Boston to Sacramento, America’s Navy will come home to 15 cities across the country in 2012 to show Americans why having a strong Navy is critical to the American way of life and to help commemorate the Bicentennial of the War of 1812.

Since 2005, the Navy Week program has served as the Navy’s flagship outreach effort into areas of the country without a significant Navy presence, with 148 Navy Weeks being held in 62 different U.S. cities. In 2012, the Navy Week cities are Phoenix, New Orleans, Nashville, Tenn., Spokane, Wash., Baltimore, Boston, Sacramento, Calif., Sioux Falls, S.D., Milwaukee, Chicago, Toledo, Ohio, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, N.Y. and Houston. “Navy Weeks are designed to help

Kim Marks, Director of the Navy Office of Community Outreach, which plans and executes the Navy Week program. “Because the Navy is concentrated primarily on both coasts, we’re challenged to communicate our mission away from fleet concentration areas.

Navy Weeks focus a variety of outreach assets, equipment and personnel on a single city for a weeklong series of engagements with key influencers and organizations representing all sectors of the market. “During a Navy Week, 75-100 outreach events are coordinated with corporate, civic, government,

Rear Adm. Jonathan White, commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, presented a Latin version of Sur la Figure de la Terre, written by the 18th century French mathematician and philosopher Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, to Dr. James H. Billington, the librarian of Congress to help the library recreate its collection of books that were once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

While serving as the U.S. ambassador in Paris in 1789, Jefferson ordered a copy of Maupertuis’ Latin version, Figura Telluris de Maupertuis, which was published in Leipzig, Germany in 1742. It was one of a number of books he selected

from a catalogue issued by a book seller in Strasbourg, Armand Koenig.

The book was ordered June 29, 1789.

It was sent to Jefferson and was included in a bill from Koenig dated July 17. It was entered without price by Jefferson in his undated manuscript library catalogue.

In 1815, Jefferson sold his books to the Library of Congress to restart its collection after the burning of the original library in the War of 1812.

His library - now on display in the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress - was considered one of the finest in the United States at the time.

Last year was the Navy Week program’s biggest year to date. In 2011, there were 21 Navy Weeks across America that reached nearly 100 million Americans through more than 1,500 individual outreach events.

In 2012, all 15 Navy Weeks will help to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, with nine of the 15 events held in conjunction with one of the Navy’s large-scale signature commemorative events on the Eastern Seaboard and on the Great Lakes. The week-long War of 1812 bicentennial signature events will include parades of warships and sailing vessels, public ship tours, air shows, international athletic competitions, community relations projects, and other citywide activities.

copy of Figura Telluris de Maupertuis was lost.

The USNO library has two copies of the work, the original French edition printed in 1738, and the Latin version from 1742. Lt. James M. Gilliss purchased the French version and a copy of Maupertuis’ Astronomie Nautique in 1843 in Paris. USNO has no record of when the Latin version was purchased.

The USNO library was established in 1842 with an $800 allotment from the $25,000 appropriation which funded the observatory’s first permanent home in Washington’s Foggy Bottom district.

Today it holds more than 80,000 titles and is considered to be one of the world’s premier astronomical libraries.

USNO’s mission includes determining the positions and motions of the Earth, sun, moon, planets, stars and other celestial objects, providing astronomical data; determining precise time; measuring the Earth’s rotation; and maintaining the master clock for the United States.

Waeschle said that the Bremerton and Bangor stations responds within this time frame for 90 percent of calls outside the base In addition to man hours, equipment and base water to fight fires around Kitsap County, the Navy also provides hazmat capabilities for city emergencies. “We’ve used that resource a couple times.

POTUS calls on Congress to follow military example

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WA SHING T ON – Washington politicians and all Americans can accomplish anything if they follow the example set by U.S. troops, President Barack Obama said during his State of the Union address tonight.

All of official Washington – including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and all the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- was in the House of Representatives to hear the president’s address.

In a speech dominated by domestic concerns, Obama began by extolling the example set by members of the armed services. “Last month, I went to Andrews Air Force Base and welcomed home some of our last troops to serve in Iraq,� he said. “Together, we offered a final, proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our

fellow citizens fought – and several thousand gave their lives.�

The generation serving in the military today has made the United States safer and more respected around the world, the president said.

All American troops are out of Iraq, Osama bin Laden is dead and al-Qaeda is on the run. In Afghanistan, U.S., NATO and Afghan forces have reversed the Taliban’s momentum and some U.S. troops are coming home, he noted. “These achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness and teamwork of America’s armed forces,� he said. “At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations.

They’re not consumed with personal ambition. They don’t obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together.�

Obama asked the

Congress – well known for its partisan divide – to imagine “what we could accomplish if we followed their example.�

Working together, Americans could build a country that is a leader in education, in industry, in clean energy and in hightech manufacturing, Obama said. Working together, Americans could put in place “an economy built to last, where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded,� he added.

With the Iraq war over, the United States has struck decisive blows against alQaida. “From Pakistan to Yemen, the al-Qaida operatives who remain are scrambling, knowing that they can’t escape the reach of the

United States of America,� he said.

The strategy in Afghanistan is paying off and 33,000 U.S. troops will leave that country by the end of the summer. More and more, Afghan national security forces are assuming responsibility for protecting their own land, their own people, the president said. “This transition to Afghan lead will continue, and we

will build an enduring partnership with Afghanistan, so that it is never again a source of attacks against America,� he said.

The Arab world is in a wave of change, Obama said, and the clearest example is in Libya. “A year ago, [Moammar] Gadhafi was one of the world’s longestserving dictators – a murderer with American blood on his hands,� he said. “Today, he is gone. And in Syria, I have no doubt that the [Bashar] Assad regime will soon discover that the forces of change can’t be reversed, and that human dignity can’t be denied.�

How this whole tide of change from Tunisia to Syria and beyond will end is uncertain, the president said.

The people of the region must make the decisions, but the United States will work with all to advocate “those values that have served our own country so well,� he said. “We will stand against violence and intimidation.

We will stand for the rights and dignity of all human beings – men and women;

Christians, Muslims, and Jews,� he continued. “We will support policies that lead to strong and stable democracies and open markets, because tyranny is no match for liberty.�

The United States will work to isolate those who seek to disturb the peace, Obama said, noting increased economic sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program. “The regime is more isolated than ever before; its leaders are faced with crippling sanctions, and as long as they shirk their responsibilities, this pressure will not relent,� he said.

All cards are on the table for stopping Iran from having nuclear weapons, the president added. “Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal,� he said. “But a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible, and far better, and if Iran changes course and meets its

Special operations forces free American hostage in Somalia

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 2012 – Special operations forces rescued an American woman and Danish man who had been held captive in Somalia for three months, President Barack Obama announced early

this morning.

Both are well and are in a secure location, and there were no American casualties in the operation.

Jessica Buchanan and Poul Thisted were working as part of a Danish demining group when Somali criminals kidnapped them near Galcayo, Somalia, on Oct. 25, according to

a statement from Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta.

Galcayo is near the border with Ethiopia. There was no word where the two were held.

“This successful hostage rescue, undertaken in a hostile environment, is a testament to the superb skills of courageous service members who risked

their lives to save others,” Panetta said in the statement. “I applaud their efforts, and I am pleased that Ms. Buchanan and Mr. Thisted were not harmed during the operation.”

The president said he had spoken with Buchanan’s father and told him that all Americans are thankful that his daughter is safe and will soon be home.

“The United States will not tolerate the abduction of our people, and will spare no effort to secure the safety of our citizens and to bring their captors to justice,” Obama said in his statement. “This is yet another message to

the world that the United States of America will stand strongly against any threats to our people.”

Panetta stressed the rescue was a team effort and required close coordination between the Defense Department and the FBI. “They are heroes and continue to inspire all of us by their bravery and service to our nation,” Panetta wrote.

The Danish Demining Group trains local people to defuse and render safe landmines and other ordnance left in the wake of war. In addition to Somalia, the group is working in Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Liberia, South Sudan and

Uganda.

At the beginning of the president’s State of the Union address last night, TV cameras caught Obama shaking Panetta’s hand and saying “Good job.” No one knew then what he was talking about.

During his address, Obama lauded service members’ commitment and ability to work together. The rescue operation is another example of that.

“As commander in chief, I could not be prouder of the troops who carried out this mission, and the dedicated professionals who supported their efforts,” the president said in his statement.

Medical concerns prompted Somalia hostage rescue

By Cheryl Pellerin American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – While President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union address Tuesday night, a joint special operations forces team was finishing up a dramatic rescue of two hostages -- one of whom was seriously ill -- from an armed encampment in Somalia.

“A convergence of factors contributed to the decision to undertake the operation last night,” Pentagon Press Secretary George Little told reporters here today.

Among those factors was a window of opportunity for mission success, he said, and information that one of the captured humanitarian workers, Jessica Buchanan of the United States, had a serious medical condition that could threaten her life.

“That added a sense of urgency to the need to move ahead,” Little said, “and that along with other considerations led to the decision to go with the operation yesterday.”

Details of what happened on the scene still are being determined, he said, adding that nine criminal suspects were killed during the rescue.

“They were heavily armed and had explosives at the site,” Little said.

Buchanan and Poul Thisted of Denmark worked for the Danish Demining Group, a nonprofit humanitarian organization for which the two were teaching local Somalis how to remove land mines from their environment. They were kidnapped at gunpoint Oct. 25

near Galcayo, Somalia, and were being held for ransom, according to a U.S. Africa Command statement. When the U.S. Justice Department requested help from the Defense Department, the statement added, Army Gen. Carter F. Ham, Africom’s commander, was directed to plan and conduct the rescue operation.

Whenever an American is taken hostage overseas, the FBI becomes involved in the investigation, said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman.

“There was close coordination with the FBI throughout [the operation],” Kirby added. “It was very much an interagency effort.”

The president authorized the operation Jan. 23, and the military commanders decided to move ahead with it yesterday, Kirby said. “We made the proper notifications that needed to be made in the region,” he added.

The joint special operations assault team landed near Cadaado in northcentral Somalia on Jan. 23 in the early evening Washington time, Kirby said, but “the operation was not over until a number of

hours later, when the hostages were secured and our service members were safely out of harm’s way.”

The president, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and other national security officials monitored the operation’s progress from the White House before leaving to attend the president’s State of the Union address.

As the president spoke during the Capitol Hill event, Kirby said, “we knew at that point that shots had been fired [and] that casualties had been taken among the kidnappers, but more importantly, we knew that the two hostages were safe.”

Little said there have been consultations between the U.S. and Danish govern-

ments and that “some of those consultations occurred prior to the operation.”

During the rescue, the assault team made its way to the outdoor encampment and confirmed that Buchanan and Thisted were there, guarded by nine captors. After securing the location, the team found Buchanan and Thisted unharmed.

Details about Buchanan’s medical condition have not been released. “We believe it was pre-existing when she was taken hostage, and also have reason to believe that it was getting worse while she was in captivity,” Kirby said.

U.S. military doctors and nurses are treating Buchanan and Thisted at

a medical facility in the region, he added, and their repatriation has yet to be worked out.

“Last night’s mission, boldly conducted by some of our nation’s most courageous, competent and committed special operations forces, exemplifies United States Africa Command’s mission to protect Americans and American interests in Africa,” Ham said in a statement.

“I am extraordinarily proud of the joint-service team that planned, rehearsed and successfully

concluded this operation.

Thanks to them, a fellow American and her Danish co-worker are safe and will soon be home with their families,” he added.

“We should remember that Mrs. Buchanan and Mr. Thisted were working to protect the people of Somalia when they were violently kidnapped,” the general said. “It is my hope that all those who work in Somalia for the betterment of the Somali people can be free from the dangers of violent criminals.”

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For a sense of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead for combat rations, check out offerings at one of the many sit-down chain restaurants that have sprung up like mushrooms around the country and outside many military bases.

Food scientists at the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center near Boston look to Applebeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, TGI Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other popular chain eateries for inspiration in their quest to provide warfighters the kind of food theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seek out at home if they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deployed, explained Jeremy Whitsitt, technology integration analyst for the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Defense combat feeding directorate.

So â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meals, Ready to Eatâ&#x20AC;? and other combat rations the Natick center develops for all the services are a blend of comfort foods such as the ever-popular beef stew, old standbys such as spaghetti and meat sauce and an increasing number of ethnic selections, particularly Italian, Mexican and Oriental dishes, he said.

A Southwest beef and black bean dish introduced in 2010 is â&#x20AC;&#x153;quickly becoming a favorite,â&#x20AC;? Whitsitt said, along with a Mediterraneaninspired chicken with tomato and feta cheese course also added that year.

Ratatouille and Santa Fe rice and beans entrees made their debut in 2011. This

year, Asian pepper steak and Mexican chicken stew went into production.

Also new for 2012 are au gratin potatoes -- one of Whitsittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal favorites -- as well as multigrain snack bread, jalapeno-cheese-filled crackers, a fiber-fortified banana nut Ranger bar and sour fruit candy discs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to stay true to what our demographic is eating when they are not on the battlefield, and I think our current product offering reflects a lot of that,â&#x20AC;?

Whitsitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the advances in food science and processing technology and packaging innovation -- and I think most warfighters would back me up on this -- I think we actually have a very good, current, trendy product offering out there now.â&#x20AC;?

Keeping up with changing culinary trends in developing combat rations is a never-ending process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run a continuous product improvement program,â&#x20AC;?

Whitsitt said, balancing what troops want to eat with other considerations such as nutrition and fieldworthiness.

Achieving that balance is no hit-or-miss proposition. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of science behind it, with food scientists factoring in challenges that the popular eateries they strive to emulate simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to contend with.

MREs must be able to maintain their quality for three years if stored at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or six

months when exposed to more extreme temperatures. They must satisfy the surgeon generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strict nutritional requirements, with specific standards for calories and for composition of carbohydrates, protein and fat.

Even more challenging, they have to be packaged to withstand being airdropped by parachute, free-dropped from 100 feet and subjected to rough handling and extreme temperature swings.

To make sure they meet these standards, testers at Natick subject them to scorching heat and frigid cold, high impacts to ensure they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break open when airdropped, and nutrition analyses to make sure they meet prescribed requirements.

But no matter how well MRE items perform in these tests, they never enter the military inventory until they survive the toughest test of all: the troop taste test.

Every year, a team of product developers, food scientists, nutritionists and consumer researchers travel to field training exercises to hear firsthand what troops think of current combat rations referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;control groupâ&#x20AC;? and some of the most promising prototype entrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We collect a lot of data, and from that data we boil it down to: here are the toprated items from the new group, and here are some of the lowest-rated items from

Yester day ’s Fleet

Gansevoort was gung-ho Earned four bloody battle stars Kitsap Navy News

The destroyer USS Gansevoort (DD-608) was built at Bethlehem Steel Co., and commissioned in San Francisco Aug. 25, 1942.

She displaced 1,620 tons, was 348 feet long, and 36 feet at her beam. Known as a “steel cheetah” she moved at 37.5 knots and her 276-person crew manned four, 5-inch guns, 20mm guns, torpedoes and depth charges.

After shakedown, she departed San Francisco acting as a screen convoy bound for Hawaii and then Noumea, New Caledonia spending three months giving convoy protection to troops reinforcing Guadalcanal.

She was detached March 1943 and became part of a task force protecting the Aleutian Islands and made several attacks with no confirmed sinkings against Japanese submarines.

She departed Kulka Bay in the Aleutians Aug. 24, 1943 for repairs at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton and then returned to Wellington, New Zealand where forces were marshalling for attacks on the Gilbert Islands.

Gansevoort provided gunfire for initial landings on Tarawa.

In December 1943, she

was back in San Francisco having high-pressure turbines replaced.

By March 1944, she was back in the Marshalls providing blockage and ASW patrol and frequently she was charged with retrieving downed U.S. Marine aviators, once closing within 500 yards of shore to protect her motor whaleboat which had come under shore fire.

She quickly replenished and had battle repairs back in Pearl Harbor and then was back in the Pacific for the repatriation of the Philippines.

On Dec. 27, 1944, she joined a large supply convoy comprising 99 naval and merchant ships who were to sail to Mindoro, the Philippines with men and materials.

Steaming via the Surigao Strait, the ships came under relentless attacks from the Japanese between Dec. 28 to 30 which “created nearly 72 hours of hell and hard work for sailors.”

The ship was called to “General Quarters” 49 times in 72 hours and Gansevoort gunners splashed five enemy planes and assisted in splashing a dozen others. Although the Japanese did sink one LST and severly damaged two other ships, the powerful 99-ship convoy was not halted.

Gansevoort entered

Mangarin Bay on Mindoro in the morning of Dec. 30, 1944. That afternoon, a suicide plane crashed into the Gansevoort’s deck, causing a horrific explosion which killed or wounded 34 of her crew.

Two other destroyers, USS Wilson (DD-408) and USS Philip (DD-498) helped extinguish raging fires on board Gansevoort.

Then the ship was given the unusual assignment of extinguishing a fire on board the kamikazedamaged aviation tender Porcupine. The ship was to fire her torpedoes at the ship in an attempt to bole off the flaming portion before fires reached stored aviation fuel.

But fire engulfed the Porcupine anyway and flames licked across the water endangering the Gansevoort.

Gansevoort was towed ashore, her quarters so gutted and damaged that her crew moved ashore leaving only a 20-man skeleton crew.

A month of unsuccessful attacks by marauding Japanese bombers did not buckle the ship which again put to sea in February 1945.

She was in Ulithi in April 1945 for further repairs and finally to San Francisco in

May for final battle damage repairs.

She sailed for the East and was in New York for victory celebrations in October 1945.

On November, she sailed for Charleston, S.C. Naval Shipyard for inactivation overhaul.

She was decommissioned February 1, 1946

POTUS | FROM PAGE 8 obligations, it can rejoin the community of nations.â&#x20AC;?

The president said Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldwide leadership has been renewed and countries look to its steady hand and influence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our oldest alliances in Europe and Asia are stronger than ever,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ties to the Americas are deeper.

Our iron-clad commitment to Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security has meant the closest military cooperation between our two countries in history. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it clear that America

RATIONS | FROM PAGE 10 the control group,â&#x20AC;? Whitsitt said. Those findings then go to a joint-service operational rations forum, which approves eliminating the least-popular current selections and replacing them with the highest-rated new ones.

Based on overwhelming service member input, â&#x20AC;&#x153;country captain chicken,â&#x20AC;? a cross between chicken a la king and chicken and dumplings, got scratched off the MRE menu board back in 2005. The veggie omelet followed suit in 2009.

Last year, white albacore tuna, chicken and dumplings, the veggie griller and Mexican corn got dropped from production. This year, the same fate fell to the hamburger patty, Buffalo chicken and Mexican rice.

is a Pacific power, and a new beginning in Burma has lit a new hope.â&#x20AC;?

Those who say that America is in decline â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, the world is changing. No, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control every event.

But America remains the one indispensable nation in world affairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and as long as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m president, I intend to keep it that way.â&#x20AC;?

Obama once more promised to maintain the finest military in the world.

American freedom has endured because men and women in uniform fought

for it, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As they come home, we must serve them as well as they served us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That includes giving them the care and benefits they have earned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve increased annual VA spending every year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been president. And it means enlisting our veterans in the work of rebuilding our nation.â&#x20AC;?

Obama ended his address where it started â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using the example of U.S. service members for Congress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those of us whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been sent here to serve can learn from the service of our

Whitsitt acknowledged that decisions about what foods stay or are introduced and which ones are dropped is challenging because â&#x20AC;&#x153;somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s least-favorite item might be somebody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most-favorite item.â&#x20AC;?

But he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convinced that a product improvement process based 100 percent on customer recommendations and feedback is paying off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the comments that we get hint to the fact that we are pleasing most of the people most of the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when it comes to food, that probably is the greatest compliment you can get, considering you are talking about 2.2 million warfighters.â&#x20AC;?

Tales of military rations falling short of the mark in the past have become the stuff of legends. During Operations Desert Shield

and Storm in 1990 and 1991, Army Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, reportedly was so dissatisfied with the state of MREs that he summoned the director of the combat feeding program to his office. As the story goes, Powell held up an MRE and rendered the simple order: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fix it.â&#x20AC;?

Since then, 241 new ration items have been added to better reflect what warfighters want, and the fixing continues.

In that quest, the researchers at Natick and their industry and academic partners are pushing the envelope in food processing and packaging to broaden the array of foods they can deliver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always room for improvement,â&#x20AC;? Whitsitt said.

troops,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you put on that uniform, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re black or white, Asian or Latino, conservative or liberal, rich or poor, gay or straight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re marching into battle, you look out for the person next to you, or the mission fails,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the thick of the fight, you rise or fall as one unit, serving one nation, leaving no one behind.â&#x20AC;?

Obama said one of his proudest possessions is the U.S. flag that the SEAL Team took with them on the mission to get bin Laden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On it are each of their names,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some may be Democrats. Some may

be Republicans. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Just like it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter that day in the Situation Room, when I sat next to Bob Gates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a man who was George Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense secretary; and Hillary Clinton, a woman who ran against me for president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that mattered that day was the mission. No one thought about politics. No one thought about themselves. One of the young men involved in the raid later told me that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve credit for the mission. It only succeeded, he said, because every single member of that unit did their job.â&#x20AC;?

The same is so with America, Obama said. It

took more than two centuries and millions of people working toward a common goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This nation is great because we built it together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This nation is great because we worked as a team. This nation is great because we get each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backs.â&#x20AC;?

If Americans remember that truth, there is no challenge too great, no mission too hard, the president said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re joined in common purpose, as long as we maintain our common resolve, our journey moves forward, our future is hopeful, and the state of our union will always be strong,â&#x20AC;? he said.
