Skywarrior comes home By DENNIS CONNOLLY

Whidbey Crosswind

The Douglas A-3 Skywarrior, the first aircraft to rumble with the sound of jet engines on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, is back. The aircraft was to return today at 1 p.m. After some work to render it incapable of flight, the A-3 Skywarrior will be permanently displayed near the main gate at the corner of Ault Field Road and Langley Boulevard, just a few hundred yards east of the Chiefs Club. The A-3, also called “the whale” because of its size, was first stationed on NAS Whidbey in 1956 with Heavy Attack Squadron 4, the first jet squadron on the island. Six squadrons and a training squadron would also call Whidbey Island home during the Skywarrior’s service; the last was decommissioned in February, 1971. The A-3 was originally designed as a strategic bomber during the cold war, but was mostly used by the Navy as a refueling tanker, and also for photo reconnaissance and electronic warfare.

In all, 251 people lost their lives flying and working on the Skywarrior. It has returned to Whidbey Island to stand as a memorial because of the efforts of the Whidbey A-3 Skywarrior Memorial Foundation.

NAS Whidbey celebrates Earth Day Navy volunteers put a positive spin on trash By Kathy Reed

Whidbey Crosswind

It’s amazing how quickly trash can accumulate, even on the beach. Last Friday, volunteers from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island came out to do a little cleaning in honor of Earth Day. NAS Whidbey Recycle has been sponsoring the beach cleanup for 16 years to call attention to how much trash can really be recycled. “Every year this event has been a great success in cleaning up the beaches that NAS shares,” said Paul Brewer, Internal Solid Waste Manager for the base recycling center. “It really gets everyone involved in doing something positive for the environment.” Brewer estimates there are between 200 and 300 volunteers each year. Several tenant commands participate, including the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit, which is the largest sponsor of volun-

teers for the cleanup. “I’m glad I was able to volunteer and help out today in cleaning the beach. I never knew how much trash would be down here for us to collect,” said Aviation Electrician Airman Ethan Barron, from CNATTU. There is usually no shortage of recyclable material found on the beach, and this year was no exception. “In getting trash off the beach, especially a huge tire we found near the water, it really felt good to clean up the area for the environment,” said Aviation Electronics Technician Airman Joshua Whidden, also from CNATTU. In addition to the beach cleanup, NAS Whidbey Recycle sponsored an environmental fair, where, among other things, people could guess the weight of cubes of aluminum cans. -Bryan Ilyankoff contributed to this story.

Oak Harbor woman fights for vets in D.C.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Whitehead-Muzzall Post 7392 in Oak Harbor will celebrate the return of Diane Small Saturday at 7 p.m. with a dinner in her honor. Small is the president of the Ladies Auxiliary Department of WashingDiane Small ton, and has represented both her local auxiliary and those throughout the state of Washington on a national level for the past year. There are 81 auxiliaries and 16 districts in the state. While in Washington, D.C., Small met with senators and representatives to discuss top issues facing veterans and their families. She got a multitude of reactions. “From having heard of

“To be able to see the people we touch and to better the lives of military veterans’ communities, it’s phenomenal.” – Diane Small the issue and supporting it, to having me explain it to them,” Small said. A big issue, for instance, is Army National Guard and reserve component units and their multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Some units have been deployed as many as eight times. The problem, said Small, is soldiers leave jobs to go overseas and when they return after three or four deployments, they find they’ve lost their job. National Guard members are losing their homes and being cast adrift in the

Navy League seeks donations for Whidbey sailors The Oak Harbor Navy League is looking for items to be donated for care packages to send to deployed sailors from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Donations may be dropped off at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce until May 12. Items most requested by personnel in Afghanistan include foot powder, beef jerky, powdered drink mixes, flushable baby wipes and Beanie Babies. “Send some in every package to all units, as they are really easy for the soldiers to carry with them and give to the local kids, who love them,” wrote Chief Lukas Gardner to a member of the Navy League. Gardner is one of three NAS Whidbey Island sailors on the USS Cleveland, which is participating in Pacific Partnership 2011. A list of items can be found online at www.whid beycrosswind.com.

country they are protecting, according to Small. Also important to Small are the many different veteran and family support plans the auxiliary has. One is Operation Uplink, where phone banks are installed overseas and military members can call home. Since 2006, it has connected more than five million troops and is paid for by the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Another is the Military Assistance program, or Unmet Needs. If a military family is having financial problems, such as not being able to pay an outstanding hospital bill or a vehicle repair, for instance, the fund will pay up to $2,500 directly to the hospital or the auto shop. The money does not have to be paid back. The auxiliary raises money for these programs by donations from all the posts, auxiliaries and national grants. The Oak Harbor VFW Post has approximately

1,000 members and 321 Ladies Auxiliary members. Small joined the local VFW Ladies Auxiliary at Whitehead-Muzzall Post in 1992 and has served through six different one year-positions to get to be Department of Washington president. Those with questions about the homecoming event can call 675-4048. “To be able to see the people we touch and to better the lives of military veterans’ communities, it’s phenomenal,” Small said. “And the rewards come back ten-fold.”

Memorial Day Run

Whidbey sets high standard for good deeds I have to say that of all the places I’ve been priviledged to live, and there have been many, the Oak Harbor area seems to set the standard when it comes to volunteerism and humanitarian outreach. I think a lot of that comes from the example set daily by the men and women who serve at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and in other branches of our nation’s military. When I interviewed Alvin Townley, the author of the book “Fly Navy” recently, he told me one of the things he thinks people misunderstand the most is the amount of public service and humanitarian aid in which the military is involved. While there is a combat KATHY element inherent to being in the REED military, Townley said he was struck by how dedicated the sailors he met were to helping other people, citing examples of aid to Haiti and more recently, Japan. So it’s really no surprise I found example after example of outreach and volunteer efforts in just this week’s Crosswind content. We have active duty sailors pitching in to clean up the beach. We have members of the Navy League collecting items for care packages to send to our active duty sailors. We have the story of Master Chief Emmanuel Montenegro, who in 2008 spent several months as part of the humanitarian effort Pacific Partnership. Then there’s the NAS Whidbey Search and Rescue team who took the time to share with members of the community about how they help people every day. With our large active duty and retired population, I guess it’s no surprise these characteristics, gleaned from years of service in action, are evident all over Whidbey Island. If we learn by example, we have plenty of good teachers.

Whidbey Search and Rescue helps in Coast Guard rescue

The Coast Guard crew successfully hoisted the injured man aboard and transported him to Ediz Hook in Port Angeles. The man was transferred to an Airlift Northwest helicopter and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

A helicopter from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island lent a hand to assist in a Coast Guard rescue last week. A Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Air Station Port Angeles, Wash., medically evacuated a man from Olympic National Park who was injured after reportedly falling down an avalanche chute Thursday, April 21. The victim was at approximately 3,800 feet elevation near Mount Olympus, which is about 35 miles south of Port Townsend. According to a NASWI public affairs spokeswoman, NASWI Search and Rescue responded at the request of the Armed Forces Rescue Coordinating Center and launched a SAR crew of five — two pilots, two aircrew and one hospital corpsman. The SAR crew from NAS Whidbey did not conduct the rescue, but played an integral role in the effort. “Navy SAR remained overhead to relay radio communications between Puget Sound Sector and

Unsung heroes of Search and Rescue speak at library By DENNIS CONNOLLY

Whidbey Crosswind

Last August, a 15-yearold girl lost her footing while hiking in Hoodsport, Wash., fell off a cliff and into the river in Skokomish River Canyon. The canyon was narrow and steep with rock faces leading down to the river. The only thing close was a 450-foot bridge spanning the canyon. The girl lay at the bottom with a ground rescue crew. A MH-60S Knigthawk helicopter, with a six-member search and rescue team from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island arrived and analyzed the situation. It wasn’t the best. But that’s what Navy search and rescue teams are trained to do. No matter what the situation, SAR teams pluck people out of waves bigger than houses, lift them from sinking ships, tracts of snowy forest or even deserts. Last Thursday, Lt. Brandon Sheets, the pilot and commander of that bridge mission, along with Naval Air Command First Class Andrew Worth, Naval Air Command second class Brian Casey and Lt. Leah Tunnell were at the Oak Harbor Library to talk about their job to an audience of men, women and children.

DENNIS CONNOLLY/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

They went through the make up a SAR crew: Two pilots and two rescue swimmers, although it could be more, and the organization on the MH-60S. “The crew, all the guys keep the aircraft perfectly clean,” noted Sheets. “We always keep a bag ready to go, we are always ready.” Worth, who started his Naval career in Jacksonville, Fla., has been on the carriers USS Nimitz and USS Enterprise and has been an aviation rescue school instructor, among other things. “It’s a cool thing to be able to help out people,” Worth said. “I have a very cool job and I’m able to help people.” He also mentioned that he participated in approximately 40 rescues last year. Petty officer Brian Casey joined the Navy in 2003, and was aboard the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis (CVN-74). As a rescue swimmer, he said he had a lot of jobs. He also went to combat search and rescue school. It’s an intense training situation that takes

place near Fallon, Nev. Casey said they train day and night for a month, building their search and rescue skills. “I still have my Elvis patch,” Casey said. “It reads, ‘If he’s out there, we’ll find him.’” The group talked a little about the rescue in the Skokomish River Canyon. Sheets said they flew over it and saw the girl. “We are trained to a high level, so we took a deep breath, surveyed everything and formulated a plan to do it safely,” Sheets said. “We knew we could do it safely.” Once their plan was laid out, the helicopter flew under the bridge. Hospital Corpsman second class, Richmond Roy, got on the rescue line and was lowered down to the girl, who was already strapped to the

litter by the rescue crew on the ground. Roy and the girl were hoisted up to the helicopter, which held rock steady. They got the girl out, and she was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The SAR crewmen showed the library audience some of the safety equipment they carry, like their masks and flippers and drysuit, which is smaller than one expects. Then Lt. Sheets and Lt. Tunnell and petty officers Casey and Worth took questions from the audience. Near the end of their presentation, Sheets lined up some of the children in the audience and helped them stand at attention. Tough and very young, these potential search and rescue sailors were very attentive and respectful.

Memories of Pacific Partnership Whidbey Island sailor recalls his role in helping others Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The U.S. Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Partnership 2011 got underway in March. There are currently three sailors from Naval Hospital Oak Harbor participating in the mission. By MELANIE HAMMONS

Whidbey Crosswind

hen Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Emmanuel Montenegro enlisted in the Navy, he counted on seeing danger, adventure and exotic ports of call. What he did not plan on was being a diplomat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but during his tour with Pacific Partnership 2008, he found his job description had just expanded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our commanding officer at the time, Capt. Colin Chinn, called us â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;medical diplomats,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Montenegro, of Naval Hospital Oak Harbor. Montenegro was one of 12 sailors from NHOH assigned to USNS Mercy, a hospital ship sent to provide assistance to Southeast Asian countries. Pacific Partnership, conducted yearly, is a joint disaster preparedness and humanitarian exercise that involves not only the Navy, but other service branches, multi-nationals, and non-governmental agencies such as Project Hope, Operation Handclasp and others. Montenegro worked as a medical operations planner during the 2008 exercise. Recently he reflected on his memories of that assignment, and its importance to the www.sakuraburlington.com

Montenegro described the effort as a big logistical operation that divided the workforce into 10 to 20 teams for the five-month mission. They offered an array of medical services to communities in New Guinea, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Micronesia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our work day started at 5:30 a.m., where we were issued two MREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 5 or 6 bottles of water,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some services were offered aboard ship while others were held at clinics ashore. We conducted classes in basic sanitation practices, in particular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, in New Guinea, we emphasized the importance of controlling mosquitoes to combat malaria. When our time there was up, we left them supplies to continue that task,â&#x20AC;? said Montenegro. Their work was not without danger. Once, in the southern Philippines, a helicopter ferrying passengers to the hospital ship sustained an apparent gunshot, leading to the temporary suspension of the USNS Mercyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some areas, we were always accompanied by armed Marine escorts, and often, armed locals as well,â&#x20AC;? said

Still, he believes their group had a positive, and lasting, influence upon the people and cultures they visited. “Sometimes, we treated patients who told us they’d walked four or five hours just to get to one of our clinics,” he said. In particular, he remembers the case of a New Guinea youngster who was able to walk for the first time, thanks to the surgical team’s expertise. If the mission did not

In Vietnam, we saw, of all things, a beauty pageant.”

Some of his fondest memories were in the evenings. The U.S. Navy Band, which accompanied the mission as a gesture of friendship, provided good music for social events. Liberty ports of call included Australia, Singapore, and Hawaii. Danger, adventure, and exotic ports of call – none

of these were in short supply during Pacific Partnership 2008. But the hard work and long hours built camaraderie and friendships that last to this day. For Montenegro, there remains an even deeper

satisfaction of knowing the donated supplies, valuable advice and training, and life-changing medical treatments not only changed people’s lives for the better, but forged friendships between nations. “When I look at what

happened in Japan recently, with the earthquake and tsunami, that’s exactly the sort of thing we train for in Pacific Partnership,” he said. “I’d look forward to doing it again, if I ever had the chance.”
