Dustin learns about being alone
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
Our family lives apart as our PCS (permanent
change of station) saga to Maine continues. My
husband, Dustin, lives in the BOQ (Bachelor
Officers' Quarters) as he finishes his tour in Pensacola,
while the boys and I are staying with my parents in
Virginia. None of this is really that important, except
that our separation gives Dustin some interesting
insights into what it's like to be alone when your spouse
is deployed. These insights, for the most part, make me
want to say to him, "Na-na-boo-boo, I told you so."
Here are Dustin's observations, which will take two
columns to cover (because, yes, he really is learning that
much).
Cooking for one is not much fun
Each night, when Dustin and I talk on the phone, I ask
him what he ate for dinner. This is because women who
are mothers have a need to make sure that everyone, even
people who are not their children, is fed.
Dustin usually answers with something like, "I had a
bag of peanuts and chips with salsa," or, I warmed up a
frozen dinner in the microwave." So I feel really bad when
he asks what we ate, and we've had something homemade.
I suggest that he go out to dinner, but he says that seems
like a lot of trouble and it's kind of weird to sit alone.
Then, one night, I asked Dustin what he had for din-
ner, and he said, "John and Margaret had me over to their
house to eat."
And, you know, I couldn't remember anyone having me
over to dinner when I was living alone. Humph. But they
probably thought that I the woman who is a mother and
likes everyone to be fed was surely cooking for herself.
Weekends are the worst
When you are alone, three-day holiday weekends can
drive a person insane. Theoretically, this is because the
workweek provides distraction from loneliness. When
Dustin was deployed, however, I wasn't working outside
the home. There was no perceivable difference between
Monday and Saturday. It didn't matter that I did the same
things on Saturday that I did on Monday: I got up, fed the
FROM THE HOMEFRONT
baby, walked the dog, ate pizza, called my other lonely
friends, thought about cleaning the bathrooms, chose not
to clean the bathrooms, went to bed and fell asleep with
the television on. When the day was Saturday, or even
Sunday, it was always lonely, always boring and mostly
awful. This was because, on a weekend, I had the hope
(however misguided) of something more, something fun.
Weekends are meant for family and togetherness.
Monday through Fi-,l.iy, I loved my neighbor next door,
but when I saw her taking a walk with her husband on
Saturday, I wanted to throw dirty diapers out my win-
dow at her. If I saw her walking with her husband on a
Monday that was a holiday, I felt even more jealous. On
those days, I closed all the curtains and tried to believe
that everyone around me was just as annoyed about the
three-day weekend as I was. "They really want to be at
work," I'd tell myself.
Last Saturday, Dustin called me from his BOQ room and
said, "Weekends are pretty lonely, huh?" I felt momen-
tarily justified like when Dustin gets the baby dressed
and realizes that it really is difficult to make him stay still
long enough to snap the 100 buttons on his shirt until
Dustin said, "So next weekend, I think I'll do a cross-
country (the Navy's term for flying training missions to
another state, usually one with sunny beaches, pro foot-
ball teams, or lots of bars) to Pennsylvania to see a base-
ball game."
Huh?
When I was alone on weekends, I had children to tend
to. The extent of my spontaneity was taking the boys to
a restaurant without a clown or a "Kids Eat Free" sign
hanging in the window. I didn't think it was fair that
Dustin could just up and go to another state to escape the
loneliness.
What I hadn't anticipated, however, was how a baseball
game just wouldn't be the same for Dustin without the
boys and me there. In-state or out-of-state, baseball game
or no baseball game, weekends are still the hardest part.
HEY, MONEYMANI
Hey, MoneyMan!
I had a credit card with an interest
rate of 11 percent. I just noticed that
the rate was raised to 24 percent and
this new rate applies to all of my pre-
vious charges. I have never been late
on payments to this card and I didn't
think a credit card company could
just raise my rate for no reason. Is
this legal?
MoneyMan Sez:
Unfortunately, it is legal and it
happens routinely. It is patently
unfair, but currently legal. According
to Consumer Action's annual 2008
Credit Card Survey, released last
week, credit cards issuers can and do
take action that will put even good
consumers at risk.
Each in its own way puts consum-
ers at greater risk of being charged
higher interest rates, falling deeper
in debt, and causing a ripple effect
among issuers.
Here are some of those practices:
Following you down. As consum-
ers pay off large balances, the credit
limit is reduced so that the balance is
always close to the credit limit.
Sorry, you're over limit. Credit
limits are reduced to levels lower
than the current balance, triggering
over-limit fees and requiring a large
"balloon" payment of the over-due
amount. This practice also puts the
consumer at risk of being hit with a
penalty interest rate.
Where's my credit limit? Cards
are declined at the point of purchase,
and only then do cardholders find out
that their limits have been reduced
with no warning.
Ganging up on consumers. One
credit card lowers your credit limit,
which lowers your credit score, which
causes another of your cards to lower
your credit limit.
Many card issuers have "anytime,
any reason" clauses in the contract.
This mean they can raise your rate
at anytime, for any reason even
for reasons totally out of your con-
trol, such as "economic conditions" or
"management strategies."
Bottom line: Be careful when using
your credit cards and try to pay off
the balance every month.
Do not go over your limit and never
be late on your payments.
Credit cards are fine when used
prudently and correctly.
They can also lead to financial
disaster if not closely monitored.

Local 'guitar hero'
plays winning
performance
By Clark Pierce
Editor
Navy Exchange locations across the
United States recently hosted a
competition for fans of the newly
released "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" that
was won by Cary Cavanaugh, an MWR
civilian employee at NAS Jax.
"After four days of competition in the
Navy Exchange electronics department,
we brought in the four top-scoring competi-
tors for an Aerosmith play-off," explained
Electronics Department Manager Robert
Ream. "They played at the expert skill
level and, at the end of the day, Cavanaugh
took first place with 279,857 points."
His performance was forwarded to Navy
Exchange headquarters in Virginia Beach,
Va., where they reviewed top-scorers from
each participating store and declared
Cavanaugh the winner of a $1,000 NEX
gift card.
Cavanaugh was surprised when Ream
called to tell him he was the winner. "It
was pretty awesome to hear that my score
held up and that I topped gainers from all
around the country."
Cavanaugh took up Guitar Hero about
two years ago. "I love music and testing my
skills on video games, so Guitar Hero lets
you do both. This was a tough, high-level
competition,' said Cavanaugh. "Of course,
it helps to know the songs, to be able to
sight-read when the notes are coming, and
to learn the special techniques of the game,
such as when to 'star power' for multiple
points."
He added, "Musical accuracy is crucial.
Every note you play correctly is worth 50

points, and after hitting 10 notes in a row,
you get a points multiplier of two, three
and four times and when you hit star
power it doubles the multiplier. But,
should you miss a note, you lose your mul-
tipliers and have to start building all over
again."
He said that Guitar Hero is popular with
all age groups. "It's fun to play with friends
and family. Two people can also play the
same song against each other."
Cavanaugh said he had no immediate
plans for using his gift card, "but I'm look-
ing around."
Fleet Readiness artisans batting 1,000
By Frank Taormina
FRCSE Public Affairs Specialist
F leet Readiness
Center Southeast
(FRCSE) artisans
were recognized June 26 for
completing 1,000 on-time
deliveries of the Weapons
Replaceable Assembly
(WRA) for the AAS-44(V)
Forward Looking Infrared
(FLIR) Performance Based
Logistics (PBL). The arti-
sans maintained a 100
percent supply availabil-
ity rate for 57 consecutive
months.
FRCSE artisans have
provided depot-level repair
capability for this PBL
since October 2003 in sup-
port of the Navy's H-60
Armed Helicopter fleet.
They also incorporated 477
reliability growth kits, and
reduced WRA depot repair
hours per unit from more
than 130 hours to less than
110 hours eliminating
depot repair cost growth for
the last 40 months.
"This is an important
milestone in the Raytheon-
FRCSE partnership." said
Mark Schroeder, Raytheon
program manager. He
added, "I want to point out
that these deliveries were
completed without defects,
on time, and within cost."
The AAS-44(V) Infrared
Laser Detecting-Ranging-
Tracking Set is a high-per-
formance multipurpose
thermal imaging sensor. It
provides long-range surveil-
lance, target acquisition,
tracking, range finding,
and laser designation for
laser-guided munitions. It
features multiple fields of
view and real-time image
processing with contrast
enhancement. It is deployed
on Navy SH-60B and HH-
60H helicopters and sup-
ports a variety of rotary and
fixed wing platforms.
FLIR is a device that
senses infrared radiation by
detecting thermal energy
to create a picture. In war-

fare, the FLIR has three
distinct advantages. First,
the imager itself is nearly
impossible for the enemy to
detect, as it detects energy
that's already there and
doesn't have to send out any
energy of its own. Second,
it sees heat, which is hard
to camouflage. Third, FLIR
systems can see through
smoke, fog, haze, and other
atmospheric obscurants
better than a visible light
camera can.
This PBL is the first
Electro Optic Weapon
System with a Public
Private Partnership
between FRCSE and
Raytheon. This partner-
ship has been recognized
for delivering more than
$38 million in cost sav-
ings to the Naval Aviation
Enterprise.
The AAS-44(V) PBL
is a 10-year, $121.3 mil-
lion fixed-price contract
between Raytheon and
NAVICP Philadelphia, that
is designed to deliver 90
percent or better availabil-
ity and growth reliability
by 50 percent.
This win-win public pri-
vate partnership contin-
ues paying dividends to
the Navy by reducing the
overall cost of weapon sys-
tem sustainment. These
achievements result in
higher combat readiness at
a lower cost for this critical
Warfighter weapon system.
The essence of PBL is
0I 1 Ice;
buying performance out-
comes. It is procurement
of a capability to support
the Warfighter versus the
individual parts or repair
actions. This is accom-
plished through a busi-
ness relationship that
is structured to meet the
Warfighter's requirements.
One of the most significant
aspects of PBL is the con-
cept of a negotiated agree-
ment between the major
stakeholders and the sup-
port provider that formally
documents the performance
and support expectations
to achieve the desired PBL
outcomes.

Value-based helping
By Chaplain
(Lt. Cmdr.) Atticus Taylor n.
Ornithologists (scientists
who observes the behav-
ior of birds) have revealed
in their research an unusual
sense of community among flocks
of geese. It appears that the all
too familiar V-shaped flight for-
mations many of us are familiar
with during migration season, is
in reality a superior community
support system.
According to research, the stron-
ger and larger birds (i.e., ganders)
position themselves at strategic
points within the flight pattern in
order to create an airflow or vortex
that supports the weaker members
of the flock. This in-turn allows the
smaller birds to expend less energy
throughout the duration of their
long and dangerous journey.
The special qualities inherent
among the members of this spe-
cial unit are endurance, speed,
strength, patience and courage.
These noble virtues become most
Ili
evident in the unfortunate event
that one of the birds takes a bul-
let from a hunter's gun and falls
to the ground.
Some observers have reported
a mysterious and peculiar prac-
tice involving the activities of this
unique group. As their flock mate
falls from the sky, some geese
immediately break formation and
dispatch to the aid of the victim.
It seems that the flock recogniz-
es the importance of providing
encouragement to one another
during these difficult times.
They also appear to place a
high value on the life of every
member of the flock, even the
wounded ones. There is anoth-
er act of caring that continues to
baffle researchers where observ-
ers have witnessed this group
splashing water with their wings
on the injured bird. In addition,
If it's
good for the goose ...
CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
Chaplain (Lt. Cmdr.) Atticus Taylor
the rescue group remains until
it is determined whether the vic-
tim will die or is able to return to
flight.
If it recovers, they encircle their
flock member creating a sup-
porting airflow to sustain him/her
in flight. Should it suffer a fatal
wound, the rescue group is able
to fly at top speed and overtake
the rest of the flock and resume
their positions in the formation.
Whether the preceding account
is scientific fact or mere "marsh
legend," there are those in our
world today who might feel that
only a "birdbrain" would risk the
possibility of falling behind the
group to assist someone else in
trouble.
It is my hope that attitudes of
this kind are representative of
a vanishing species within our
culture. I am inspired by the fact
that the self-centered behavior
we witness from time to time has
not diminished the frequent nota-
ble acts of valuing others within
our community and the Navy.
Whether victims of floods, earth-
quakes, hunger, terrorist acts or
daily crises for assistance that
typify the human enterprise, take
it from the birds, because our
overall quality of life is enhanced
by affirming our neighbor's value.
Furthermore, life requires
that we recognize the distinction
between sympathy and compas-
sion.
An unknown writer stated,
"Sympathy sees, and says, 'I'm
sorry.' Compassion feels, and
whispers, 'I'll help.'"
It is a proven fact that people
are happy to about the same
degree that they are helpful.
We should always remember
that in order to empower oth-
ers, it is essential that we value
ourselves, too. We should take a
page from "the fowls of the air"
and practice the virtues that
equip us with the vitality to lift
each other, without fouling up
our lives through the fatal flaw of
self-interest.
I will close with a quote from
Albert Schweitzer, who summed
it up this way, "Reverence for life
is the ethic of love widened into
universality."

Deadly flu outbreak:
Can
it
happen
here? .
Marsha Childs
& HM3 Jessica Anderson
Naval Hospital Jax Public Affairs
The 1918-1919 Spanish
influenza (flu), the most
devastating short-lived
epidemic in world history, killed
an estimated 40 million people
worldwide, including 675,000 in
the United States.
To plan for such a catastrophic
disaster, state public health offi-
cials, NAS Jacksonville emergen-
cy responders and Naval Hospital
Jacksonville (NH Jax) personnel
met July 15 to evaluate current
response plans and capabilities for
improving installation prepared-
ness. The group also discussed
methods to expand health care
capacity and disseminate informa-
tion during a pandemic influenza
outbreak.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), a pandemic is a global dis-
ease outbreak that "occurs when
a new influenza virus emerges in
which humans have little or no
immunity, and for which there is
no vaccine. The disease spreads
from person to person and can
sweep through a country and
around the world in a very short
period of time."
Dr. Amy Lafreniere, the con-
ference keynote speaker, is a
senior public health analyst with
Battelle, an international enter-
prise that explores emerging areas
of science and develops technolo-
gy. She said, "Pandemic flu will be
a novel strain of influenza that's
completely different from seasonal
flu. Seasonal flu happens on an
annual basis, which is something
we deal with pretty well, but pan-
demic flu will be something for
which we have no immunity."
One virus that runs the pos-
sibility of becoming pandemic is
H5N1, better known as the avian
flu. Currently, the CDC has con-
firmed isolated cases affecting
human populations in smaller
areas, mostly in Asia, Europe
and Africa. This virus is found
mainly in birds, but the risk of
humans contracting the virus is
low. Nevertheless, in half of all
reported cases, the patients died.
"So far, the avian flu has not gone
pandemic. It could go pandemic be
next year or 50 years from now.
It might not even be in our life-
time," said Lafreniere.
Dana Shropshire, head of home-
land security emergency manage-
ment for NH Jax said, "Planning,
training and exercising for all
types of disasters (natural or man-
made) is one of the things that
the Naval Hospital prides itself
on. We want to be prepared for
any and all contingencies that our
staff, beneficiaries and visitors
may face. The ability to respond
effectively to protect and mitigate
suffering is our goal one."
While pandemic flu can occur
anytime, seasonal flu usual-
ly strikes in the fall and winter
months in the United States. Once
identified, a vaccine for pandemic
flu may not be available for four
to six months. Vaccines for sea-
sonal flu, however, are based on
guidance from the CDC's Advisory
Committee on Immunization
Practices.
Naval Hospital Jacksonville's
head of Preventive Medicine
Department and CNRSE Public
Health Emergency Officer Lt.
Cmdr Celeste Santana described
the symptoms of pandemic flu as
very similar to seasonal flu: fever,
cough, runny nose and muscle
pain. Pandemic flu symptoms,
however, are more severe and
complications more frequent and
longer lasting. Deaths are usu-
ally caused by respiratory compli-
cations such as pneumonia. She
said, "More people are likely to
die from pandemic flu than from
seasonal flu. The most effective
strategy for preventing seasonal
influenza is annual vaccination."
Simple measures to protect
yourself and others from influen-
za include frequent hand washing
with soap and water and covering
your nose and mouth with your
sleeve or a tissue when you cough
or sneeze. Use alcohol-based sani-
tizers and avoid large groups and
public gatherings.
The U.S. was overwhelmed by
the 1918-1919 Spanish flu, the
worst epidemic in U.S. history.
The flu virus erupted during the
final throes of World War I and
spread with the massive move-
ment of armies.
The U.S. Department of Health
predicts, "If a pandemic of sim-
ilar severity occurred today, 90
million Americans could become
ill, and approximately 2 million
Americans could die." For more
information on pandemic flu and
ways to protect yourself, visit
www.cdc.com or www.pandemic-
flu.gov.
People are driving less, saving more
Seven-month decline in travelv-
reflected in highway trust fund a 6AW
From Staff
New Federal data showing further steep declines
in the number of miles Americans are driv-
ing is additional proof that the country needs
new means other than the gas tax to finance the
nation's transportation infrastructure, U.S. Secretary of
Transportation Mary Peters said today.
"By driving less and using more fuel-efficient vehicles,
Americans are showing us that the highways of tomor-
row cannot be supported solely by the federal gas tax,"
Secretary Peters said. "We must embrace more sustain-
able funding sources for highways and bridges through
more sustainable and effective ways such as congestion
pricing and private activity bonds."
Secretary Peters said that Americans drove 9.6 bil-
lion fewer vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) in May 2008
than in May 2007, according to the Federal Highway
Administration data. This is the largest drop in VMT for
any May, which typically reflects increased traffic due to
Memorial Day vacations and the beginning of summer,
and is the third-largest monthly drop in the 66 years
such data have been recorded. Three of the largest single-
month declines each topping 9 billion miles have
occurred since December.
VMT on all public roads for May 2008 fell 3.7 percent
as compared with May 2007 travel, the Secretary added,
marking a decline of 29.8 billion miles traveled in the first
five months of 2008 than the same period a year earlier.
This continues a seven-month trend that amounts to 40.5
billion fewer miles traveled between November 2007 and
May 2008 than the same period a year before, she said.
As Americans drive less and rely increasingly on mass
transit, carpooling or other options, the federal Highway
Trust Fund receives less revenue from gasoline and diesel
sales 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon,

TRICARE urges preparedness
for 2008 hurricane season
By Annemarie Felicio
TRICARE Management Activity
Summer is here, and
so are the risks asso-
ciated with the sea-
son. TRICARE wants to
remind beneficiaries to pre-
pare for the unexpected.
A natural disaster, like a
hurricane, is just one of the
unpredictable weather pat-
terns that can disrupt life
at any time.
The recent tornadoes,
wildfires and floods that
have swept across the
nation in the past month
emphasize the importance
of uniformed service fami-
lies being prepared for
disaster.
Having a complete emer-
gency kit is essential for
emergency preparedness.
Families are encouraged
to keep emergency kits up-
to-date, making sure they
have basic items such as
food, water, a battery oper-
ated weather radio, flash-
lights and first aid supplies
so they can be ready for any
disaster.
When preparing emergen-
cy kits, healthcare needs
are often overlooked. Since
medical assistance may not
be immediately available
after a disaster, TRICARE
wants to stress some simple
steps to make sure medical
necessities are included in
everyone's emergency pre-
paredness kit. Store these
items in a waterproof con-
tainer, and keep them with
you in the event you have
to evacuate the area.
Below is a list of health-
related items to include in
kits for each family mem-
ber:
Copies of each family
member's uniformed ser-
vices ID card (or sponsor's
name and Social Security
number), Medicare card

NAS Jacksonville's Servmart, which
is owned and operated by L. C.
Industries, has been stocking envi-
ronmentally friendly products for years,
from light bulbs that use less electricity to
biodegradable dinnerware.
During a recent Servmart run for NAS
Jacksonville Building One, IT2 Theresa
Robles opted for biodegradable trash can
liners. "Its important that we all take the
proper precautions to protect our environ-
ment not only for ourselves but for our
children as well."
One of the many green products avail-
able at Servmart is bio-based flatware.
Bio-based resin uses wheat to replace 50
percent of polypropylene, which is synthet-
ic resin. The sturdy flatware will decom-
pose by half within 90 days.
Other popular green products include
biodegradable dinnerware comprised of a
mixture of limestone and potatoes, compact
fluorescent light bulbs, cotton mop heads
and recycled plastic clipboards.
Dave Bardnell is assistant manager of L.
C. Industries Servmart at NAS Jax. "L.C.
Industries has long been an advocate of
the Go Green campaign. I feel that it is
essential to not only use these products but
to re-use them. We all need to do our part
to preserve our environment for future
generations," said Bardnell. "Ask for our

' 'W Te're halfway through
the Critical Days of
Summer, a time when
there is the potential for increased
mishaps," said Rear Adm. Arthur
Johnson, commander, Naval Safety
Center.
"This is especially true for activities
such as swimming, boating, snorkel-
ing, and other enjoyable pastimes that
personnel are more likely to enjoy
during the summer than at other
times of the year. The vast majority of
Sailors and their families have done
a great job of managing recreational
risks, but there's still a lot of warm
weather ahead. This is no time for
complacency."
The following basic swimming pre-
cautions can keep you and your loved
ones from harm:
If you can't swim, stay out of the
water.
Swim in areas supervised by a
lifeguard. Read and obey all rules and
posted signs.
Children or inexperienced swim-
mers should take precautions such
as wearing a Coast Guard approved
personal floatation device.
Check the depth of any body of
water- pool, lake, river, ocean-
before you dive into it.
Beware of rip currents:
A rip current is a strong surface
flow of water which has been trapped
behind a sandbar and is flowing sea-
ward from near the shore. It can occur
at any beach with breaking waves,
including oceans, seas, and Great
Lakes.
Many swimmers are surprised by
rip currents because they are found in
unusually calm waters. The water in
a rip current may appear darker than
the surrounding area.
Rip currents drag swimmers away
from the beach, leading to drowning
deaths when they attempt to fight the

current and become exhausted. The
strongest rip currents can pull swim-
mers eight feet per second.
While not a rip current, the regu-
lar undertow from strong, breaking
waves can also exhaust and disorient
weak swimmers. Stay out of rough
surf.
Be prepared when heading out for a
day on the boat:
Anyone participating in boating
activity should know how to swim.
Use Coast Guard approved life
jackets for yourself and every passen-
ger in the boat.
Take a Coast Guard boating
course, which will teach you about
navigation rules, emergency proce-

dures, and the effects of weather on
water conditions.
Know local weather conditions
and head back to the boat launch as
soon as you see or hear a storm.
Practice risk management skills
when relaxing at the pool:
Never leave a child unsupervised
around the pool. A child can drown in
just a few inches of water.
Keep toys away from the pool
when not in use. Toys can attract
young children to the pool.
Enclose the pool completely with
a self-locking, self-closing fence with
vertical bars. Openings in the fence
should be no more than four inches
wide.
V olunteering at your local Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society (NMCRS) is a rewarding expe-
rience that makes a difference in the lives of
others.
While helping clients solve their emergency needs,
* you can enhance your job skills and knowledge of oral
and written communications, retail sales, customer
service, public speaking, computer software programs,
training, personnel management and family budget-
ing.

Answers for veterans at AMVETS
By Clark Pierce
Editor
Dealing with the U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) can be
confusing and frustrating for vet-
erans, service members and their fami-
lies. Many turn to AMVETS for a range of
initiatives and professional services that
cut through red tape to improve veterans'
quality of life.
"AMVETS acts as an advocate for vet-
erans. We understand the VA because
our organization helped shape much of
the federal legislation affecting veterans
affairs," explained David Sanders, the
AMVETS national service officer at NAS
Jacksonville.
"Our office provides information, coun-
seling and claims service to honorably
discharged veterans and their families.
We are accredited by the VA to ensure
our clients receive the maximum benefits
to which they are legally entitled," said
Sanders.
AMVETS is now answering ques-
tions about the recently passed "Post-
9/11Veterans Educational Assistance Act
VA benefits and
services include:
* Disability benefits
* Education & training
benefits
* Vocational
rehabilitation &
employment
* Home loans
* Burial benefits
* Dependents' &
survivors' benefits
* Life insurance
* Health care

"We are also urging veterans to call or
stop by for a review of their VA compensa-
tion. If it's been 12 months or more since
filing a disability claim through AMVETS,
you could be eligible for an increased ben-
efit," said Sanders. "There's always the
possibility that something was overlooked
when your claim was initially filed."

tact David Sanders at (904)-542-2834 or

commissary, Chapel Center,
Mulberry Cove Marina and
ITT office," he explained.
After six months of plan-
ning by NRD and NAS
Jax MWR, the expo was
executed without a hitch.
Beginning at 8:30 a.m., a
new wave of attendees was
welcomed every 30 minutes
at The Zone by Cmdr. Tom
McNerney, commanding
officer of NRD Jacksonville,
NAS Commanding Officer
Capt. Jack Scorby Jr., and
CMDCM(SW/SS) Jeffery
Hudson. Each group spent
up to five hours at the expo
where they took in a career
fair, complementary chow,
bus tour, military demon-
strations in the parking lot,
and a shopping trip to the
NEX.
Penton added that off-
duty education and rec-
reation opportunities are
important to parents. "The
family sees that the Navy
cares about the whole per-
son.
A part of Navy life that
Penton is somewhat reti-
cent to speak about is his
role in "Carrier," the 10-
part series filmed on board
USS Nimitz that aired on
PBS. "That was a whole
different duty station that
doesn't directly relate to
my current duties at Navy
Recruiting. That said, I
believe recruits can view
Carrier and see an honest
assessment of what goes
on day to day because it's
told from the young Sailors'
perspective that today's
recruits can really relate
to," said Penton.
With 27 years in, Penton
said he loves the challenges
of recruiting. "I've been a

and rescue on the air-
field, then to the Station 2
Firehouse near the Navy
Exchange, which was
demolished a couple years
ago, and then back to the
main firehouse," he contin-
ued.
As the assistant fire chief
of operations and train-
ing, Lanier's job has been
to run the shift and handle
the daily operations of the
department. As the training
chief he also coordinated all
the training for firefighters
including the base disaster
drills.
With 35 years under
his belt, Lanier has seen
many changes. "We've gone
through a lot of stages here.
First it was mostly fire-
fighting, then we got into
hazmat and weapons of
mass destruction and now
it's mostly medical calls.
There is definitely a lot
more paperwork now than
there used to be, especially
now that we are using com-
puters. We are required to
do a lot more reports than
we did several years ago,"
he stated.
"But, this job is exciting
and different every day.
One good thing about work-
ing for the federal fire ser-
vice is that we get to do it
all, aircraft firefighting,
hazmat, we are trained to
do everything."
When asked what his
most memorable experience
is, Lanier happily replied,
"When I was selected fire-
fighter of the year in 1988
for the Navy and Marine
Corps. I worked hard to
accomplish this goal. I
started the hazmat team
here and got them trained
and also volunteered in
the community including
teaching CPR to the staff at
the Florida School for the
Deaf and the Blind in St.
Augustine."
Lanier also spends his
free time volunteering at
St. Augustine High School
helping the chorale director
by building props for their
performances and traveling
with the band.
"My daughter, Rebecca
has been involved in these
groups so I wanted to help
out," he said.
In the future, Lanier will
continue volunteering and
working part-time.
"I work part-time at
Northrop Grumman on the
crash crew and also teach
firefighting at the First
Coast Technical College. So
I'll continue to stay busy.
I'll just have more time to
spend with my family and
fishing in the new boat my
wife, Linda, bought me as
my retirement present.
My family has endured a
lot because I haven't been
home that much, now I will
be." said Lanier, enthusias-
tically.
He will also continue to
stop by the base every so
often to visit and check on
a project that he hopes will
help the base firefighters in
the future.
"I started a project here to
build a firefighting building
out by the airfield that the
Seabees are working on, so
I want to see that finished.
It will provide a place for
our firefighters to train in a
realistic setting," he said.
As for his advice for the
junior firefighters here,
Lanier simply looks back on
his experiences of serving
the past 35 years here.
"If you want to get pro-
moted, get your certifica-
tions done and work hard
because the technology
nowadays is getting much
more complicated. It takes
a little more knowledge of
how to operate things than
it used to. As firefighters,
we do it all from cooking
and cleaning to carpentry
and electrical work," stated
Lanier.
"And, remember it's all
a team effort. You can't
be self-centered in this
job, everyone has to work
together, if not, we couldn't
get accomplished what we
need to get accomplished."
Of course, Lanier would
also like to thank those who
have guided him through
his illustrious career.
"I want to thank every-
one. From the former admi-
rals, commanding officers,
executive officers, fire
chiefs and all those people
who brought me along to
all my junior firefighters
- thank you. I wouldn't be
here today without you!"
said Lanier.

The benefits of military 'spousedom
By Beth Wilson
special ContributorSPOUSE'S PERSPECTIVE
Ninety-nine days after I
married my handsome
man in uniform he was
gone. I found myself in a new
city, as a freshly minted Navy
wife. I barely understood this
military world, let alone the acro-
nyms that now defined my life.
This column is part one of a two-
part look at the spousal benefits
we enjoy. While not exhaustive,
this will get you started.
The most widely used military
benefit is medical known as
TRICARE. You can opt to use an
MTF (military treatment facility)
or select other plans that let you
choose civilian providers. Go to
www.tricareonline.mil for options
and related fees. To enroll in med-
ical coverage, your service mem-
ber must add you to his or her
record (called a 'page 2') to have
you added to DEERS (Defense
Enrollment Eligibility Reporting
System). Enrollment in DEERS
is the prerequisite to obtaining
your medical coverage. Once in
DEERS, a quick trip to the local
TRICARE office (or MTF) will
complete your medical enroll-
ment. Many TRICARE locations
offer orientations for new spouses,
so contact your local TRICARE
office for more information.
TRICARE also provides a dental
plan through United Concordia.
Go to www.tricaredentalprogram.
com for plan benefits and fees.
Enrollment in the dental plan
is separate from medical. Once
in DEERS, you can enroll in the
dental plan at the website.
The FFSC (Fleet & Family
Service Center) and ACS (Army
Community Services) are there
to offer support, education and
resources to assist you in adapt-
ing to military life. All services,
opportunities and classes pro-
vided by these organizations are
free. Be a frequent visitor and
utilize this great resource.
The DOD (Department of
Defense) supports an organiza-
tion called 'Morale, Welfare and
Recreation, or MWR, that pro-
vides "quality support and recre-
ational services that contribute
to the retention, readiness, men-
tal, physical and emotional well-
being" of service members. Family
members, retirees and their
Beth Wilson
dependents are eligible to utilize
these services and opportunities.
Check out www.mwr.navy.mil for
information about this benefit,
and contact your base MWR office
for specifics at your location.
MWR manages the base gym
(yes, you can work out there for
free), movie theatre (free or low
cost movies, including sneak pre-
views and special shows), bowling
(low cost, including classes, spe-
cial events, parties and leagues)
and much more. MWR provides
rentals (everything from a bar-
becue to boats, tables & chairs,
and campers to name a few),
maintains resorts, cabins and RV
parks across the world at great
discounts. ITT (Information,
Ticket & Tours) is a program of
MWR that provides discount tick-
ets to local and national attrac-
tions (Disney, etc) as well as
discount tickets to local movies
theaters. They sponsor trips to
attractions that often include a
boxed meal and transportation at
a low fee. Check them out!
Military shopping facilities are
another benefit. The Commissary
(DeCA or the Defense Commissary
Agency) operates grocery stores
around the world. Mandated by
Congress, all items are sold at
cost plus a 4.5 percent surcharge
(not a tax, reinvested for improve-
ments and expansions). Recent
independent (Market Basket)
surveys indicate the commissary
offers patrons a 35 percent sav-
ings overall compared to civilian
grocery stores yes, even dis-
count stores.
' Part 1
Another shopping privilege is
the exchange system or the mili-
tary department store. For the
Air Force and Army it is admin-
istered by AAFES (Army-Air
Force Exchange Service) and is
commonly called the PX (Post
Exchange). The Navy Exchange
Service (NEX) is the Navy's coun-
terpart and is referred to as 'the
exchange' or NEX. These stores
provide quality merchandise at
an average 15 percent savings
over civilian markets, and no
sales tax an added savings. In
addition, both exchanges offer a
'price match' guarantee. If you see
an item at another store for less,
the NEX or PX will match that
price. Both stores have are online
at: (www.aafes.com or www.navy-
nex.com)
We barely scratched the sur-
face on this topic. I invite you to
listen to Navy Homefront Talk
(internet talk-show for military
spouses www.blogtalkradio.
com) throughout the following
week. The broadcast is dedicated
to talking about resources and
benefits and we'll answer ques-
tions from new military spouses.

Expectant dad: Preparing for your baby's arrival
From Fleet and Family Suonort Center
America's finest are trained to respond at a
moment's notice to any contingency. No challenge
is too great, no obstacle too far out of reach. Or is
it?
It's unlikely that they taught you in boot camp how to
change a dirty diaper, walk a fussy baby, or measure for-
mula in the middle of the night. Nothing will fully prepare
you for parenthood, but you can learn what to expect and
how to handle your new bundle of joy whether you're on
land or at sea.
What to Expect as a Rookie Father
In your first few months as an expectant father, it may
seem as if nothing has really changed. As far as you can
see, your wife's belly is getting a little larger, your grocery
bill has gone up, and you're spending all your free time giv-
ing massages.
So where do you fit in? Often, fathers feel unsure of what
their role is during pregnancy and the first few months
after the baby is born. But just because you're not the
pregnant one doesn't mean you don't have concerns and
fears of your own.
"I want to make sure that the baby and my wife are in
good health," says Marine Staff Sergeant Winiberto Garcia
of Camp Pendleton, California. "And I worry about having
everything to provide for my family."
Health and finances may not be your only worries. It's
also normal to feel any of the following:
Concern about what type of father you will be
Added responsibility, and pressure to balance your
time
Curious about relationship changes with your partner
Mood changes (hers and yours)
Changes in the way you view the world and others
around you
Rest assured, this is all part of adjusting to fatherhood
and understanding the changes in your life during the
Storm season is
here again: Is
your yard ready?
From Florida Power & Light
With hurricane season in full swing, Florida
Power and Light (FPL) offers hurricane prepa-
ration advice to help residents save their trees
while reducing the risk of tree-related outages.
"We love our trees here in Florida," said Steve Anderson,
vegetation specialist for FPL. But the last two storm sea-
sons claimed many, and some knocked over power lines,
causing power disruptions and safety hazards. "A little
planning will go a long way toward protecting our trees,
our property and our safety," said Anderson.
FPL recommends the following tips to prepare Florida
residents and their trees for the upcoming storm season
while minimizing the likelihood that trees will interfere
with power lines and disrupt electrical service:
Now is the time, before a hurricane threatens, to sur-
vey and prepare your yard. Look for dead or weakened
branches that could snap during a storm and begin prun-
ing to help trees better withstand high winds.
If you do see a tree tangled in or too close to a power
line, don't try and trim it yourself. Only specially trained
line clearing professionals should work around power
lines.
If a tree or branch has damaged a pole or line, creating
sparks or a power outage, call 1-800-4-OUTAGE to report
the problem.
The best way to keep trees from interfering with
power lines is prevention: choose the right tree and plant
it in the right place to begin with. Consider the mature
height of a tree when planting near overhead electric
lines. FPL offers specific tips on the selection and proper
placement of trees through its Right Tree Right Place pro-
gram. Visit www.FPL.com/trees for a list of recommended
trees and suggested setbacks from overhead utilities, as
well as those to avoid planting near power lines. Trees
planted in the right place are also given the room they
need to achieve proper form and height without posing a
safety hazard.
Customers may also request FPL's Right Tree Right

Baby Boot Camp, offered by the FFSC New Parent
Support Program (NPSP), is for expectant, new, and
returning parents. You'll be guided through every aspect of
],'ai-nliin. from how to change a diaper to understanding
relationship changes with your spouse. Fathers are encour-
aged to attend alone or with their spouse.
Monica, a Navy spouse whose husband was deployed
during most of her pregnancy and the birth of their first
child, attended classes in Bremerton, Wash.
"It's a great resource," she says. "They have everything
you can imagine for new parents, from basic parenting
classes to videos you can borrow. It really helped me deal
with being a new mother and helped me include my hus-
band in being a new father."
Distant daddies: having a baby during deployment
Many years ago, a telegram announcing the birth of a
child was the only source of information for new fathers.
Although it can be a challenge to stay connected to your
new baby during a deployment, there are ways to prepare
for fatherhood at a distance.
Use technology to help bridge the miles. You can see a
picture of your newborn, and you can read to your child on
video.
Homecomings can be exciting, but also an adjustment
with a new baby. That's why the Return and Reunion
Program helps ease the transition back into family life for
new fathers (as well as new mothers at home). Your com-
mand can hold briefings whether you're on land or aboard
ship.

Keep fire extinguishers handy
From National Fire Protection Association
Be prepared by strategically plac-
ing fire extinguishers around your
house at least one on each floor
and in the kitchen (this one should be an
all-purpose extinguisher, meaning it can
be used on grease and electri-*
cal fires), the basement, the ,
garage, or workshop area. T .
Keep extinguishers out of
reach of children.
Fire extinguishers are best
used when a fire is contained
in a small area, like a waste-
basket, and when the fire
department has already been
called. The NFPA says to re-
member the word PASS when
operating an extinguisher:
Pull the pin. Release the
lock with the nozzle pointing
away from you.
Aim low. Point the extin-
guisher at the base of the fire.
Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
The best time to learn how to use the fire
extinguisher is now, before you ever need
it (if you have any questions, the local fire
department can help). Fire extinguishers
have gauges on them indicating when they
need to be replaced and should be checked
regularly to make sure they are still func-
tional.
If you're ever in doubt about whether to
use an extinguisher on a fire, don't try it.
Instead, leave the house immediately and
call the fire department.
Plan escape routes
Planned escape routes are a necessity,
especially if a fire were to occur during
the night. Go through each room in your
house and think about the possible exits.
You should have in your mind two escape
routes from each room, in case one is
blocked by fire. Inspect the room to make
sure that furniture and other
objects are not blocking door-
ways or windows.
Make sure that the win-
dows in every room are easy
to open and are not painted
over or nailed shut remem-
ber, these may be your only
way out in a fire. If you live
in an apartment building,
make sure any safety bars on
windows are removable in an
emergency. Be sure to know
the locations of the closest
stairwells or fire escapes and
where they lead.
If your house is more than
one story tall or if you live above the
ground floor of an apartment building, an
escape ladder is an important safety fea-
ture. You should have one escape ladder
made of fire-safe material (aluminum, not
rope) in each upper-story bedroom that
is occupied by a person who is capable of
using it. Like fire extinguishers, escape
ladders should be operated by adults only.
The ladder must be approved by an inde-
pendent testing laboratory; its length must
be appropriate for your home, and it must
support the weight of the heaviest adult in
the house.
Be sure any babysitters in your home
know all escape routes and plans in case of
a fire.
Crenshaw to honor Vietnam
veterans at NS Mayport
From Staff
U S. Congressman Ander
Crenshaw (R-Fla.) announced
o he will again recognize the
contributions of Vietnam War veterans
living in the 4th Congressional
District of Florida by present-
ing them with certificates\
of Special Congressional Hn,"
Recognition in honor of their
service to our country.
The 2007 ceremony acknowl-
edged 269 veterans. This
year's recognition ceremony
will be Nov. 7 at Naval Station
Mayport. To participate, eli-
gible veterans must register
before Oct. 3.
"Vietnam veterans served
our country with honor dur-
ing one of our most tumultu- 4
ous times as a nation," said
Crenshaw. "They answered
the call of duty, but when they
returned home, many did not
receive the recognition they properly
deserved. These brave individuals helped
fight for freedom and democracy at a
time when their country needed them
- this ceremony will show our apprecia-
tion."
Members of the armed forces who were
awarded either the Vietnam Service
Medal or the Vietnam Campaign Medal
are eligible for the recognition. The
Vietnam Service Medal was awarded
to those who served in Vietnam and its
contiguous waters and airspace between
July 3, 1965 and March 28, 1973. In
addition, personnel serving in Thailand,
Laos or Cambodia in direct support of
operations in Vietnam during the same
time period are also eligible for the
medal. Armed Forces members
who qualified for the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal
by service in Vietnam between
/ July 1, 1958 and July 3, 1965
will also be recognized.
The Vietnam Campaign
Medal was awarded to those
who served for six months
S,, in South Vietnam during
"s, the period March 1, 1961 to
March 28, 1973 or served out-
VNM side the geographical limits of
] South Vietnam and contrib-
uted direct combat support to
Chi..C", 4i the RVN armed forces for an
,,' aggregate of six months.
Criteria for both medals
are set by the Department of
Defense and recipients should
have the medal listed on their DD-214s.
If you are a Vietnam veteran and were
eligible to receive either the Vietnam
Service Medal or the Vietnam Campaign
Medal and live in the 4th Congressional
District, please contact Crenshaw's offic-
es at 904.598-0481 or 386.365-3316 -- or
go to http://crenshaw.house.gov/ to obtain
an application.
