11
By Beth Wilson
Special Contributor
This week we mark the seventh anni-
versary of that day that is embla-
zoned in all of our minds. As mili-
tary families, we feel the residual effects
of September 11, 2001 every, day. Ninfe-
eleven was not the first terrorist attack
born out of an ideology that seeks to
destroy our way of life. I dedicate this col-
umn to those who have been impacted by
terrorism at the hands of extremists since
as early as 1973.
December 1973: Pan Am Flight 110
- 30 passengers killed by Palestinian gue-
rillas.

member kidnapped and killed in Beirut,
Lebanon by Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine

thrown overboard.

four Americans (one infant) killed.
April 1986: Berlin discotheque frequent-
ed by American service members, bombed

October 2000: USS Cole Bombing by Al

2,997 died immediately in attacks.
January 2002: Journalist Daniel Pearl
murdered by Pakistani terrorists.
2001-Present: 4,150 casualties from
global war on terror and the many more
wounded.
A slogan emerged from the ashes of
ground zero, "we will never forget."
Let's take this moment to remember not
only the victims of 9/11, but all the vic-
tims of 35 years of terrorist acts against
Americans.

Flying the Grumman F9F Panther, the Blue Angels performed for the last time at NAS Jacksonville because the squadron
was ordered to transition to a war footing at the beginning of the Korean War. They were redesignated VF-191, "Satan's
Kittens." Lt. Cmdr. Johnny Magda is the only member of the Blue Angels who died during the Korean Conflict. His plane
was hit by a surface-to-air missile while on combat patrol.
Strangers in my house
By Laura Snyder
Special Correspondent
T here are three strangers wan-
dering around my house. I've
never seen them, but I know
they are here. Now, before you call
the guys with the strait jackets,
you ought to know that although I
might not be considered sane even
on a good day, this is not one of those
things that is all in my head.
I know they are here because they
leave lots of clues; almost as if they
want me to know they are here.
Maybe they are ghosts, or elves, or
malevolent little pixies. I even know
their names because, apparently my,
kids know them and have called them
by name:
Nott Mee a Kung-fu madman.
Ida Know a sneaky thief and pro-
moter of anarchy.
Ididint Dooit a mastermind of cat-
astrophic events.
If I could just catch one of these
miscreants, I would call the police
and have them all hung by their little
toes. These elves,, or ghosts or what,
ever they are, are ruining my home
and making it' look like my children
are doing it. Despicable! A classic
bad-guy-sets-up-the-innocent ruse.
Of course, my children are little
angels. This morning, I asked them
who was experimenting with the
blender and pancake mix and left a
'trail of gooey stuff all the way to the
bathroom.
"Ididnt Dooit," said one of-my
angels. I knew it! But just to be sure,
I asked another one.
"Who decided to fling the mix
around the stove and counters so that
it would harden into little, yellow,
cement puddles and make it virtually
impossible to remove?"
"Nott Mee," she said. Aha! Ididint
Dooit had an accomplice who was
apparently thoroughly trained in the
art of mess making. I mean, he is
good! The mess he made was such
that one would need a sandblaster to
rectify the situation.
.These evil doers will not go unpun-
ished, but I have to catch them first.
Until that time comes, I have taken
to putting out notes just to let them
know I'm on to them.
In the bathroom I left a note that
said: "Dear Ida Know, please be more
careful when brushing your teeth. It's
very difficult to see around the globs
of toothpaste that you have smeared
on the mirror. (Although, I have to
say your toothpaste illustration of
Calvin urinating on a Math book is
very good.)"

environment across all P-3C mis-
sion areas.
By placing a greater emphasis on
simulation-based training in the
form of TORT, VP-30 aircraft can
be better used performing opera-
tional missions versus supporting
costly aerial training."
The P-3C TORT provides mis-
sion rehearsal capability and
complete readiness-level profi-
ciency training for anti-subma-
rine warfare, anti-surface war-
fare and intelligence surveillance
and reconnaissance missions for
acoustic and non-acoustic sensor
operators.

Fite's invitation to address the
squadron's CPO selectees.
"I congratulate you all on your
advancement to chief petty officer
- the most important promotion
within our Navy's enlisted ranks.
It's a statement of your leadership
and your individual commitment
to excellence. I know, because
I was raised by a master chief.
Even after I was commissioned,
he kept an eye on the quality of
my character because core values
were a way of life with him," said
Williams.
"As you all know, and as I have
learned over 30 years, the Navy
just wouldn't function without
chief petty officers," he added.
In the laundry room: "Dear Ididint
Dooit, Your clothes are, of course,
exceptional, but as far as I know, they
do not have the ability totransport
themselves to their respective draw-
ers. Please assist them."
In the kitchen: "Dear Nott Mee,
Chocolate pudding is to be eaten at
the table. If you feel the need to eat
off the floor please inform me of your
decision, or you will be required to
buy me a new pair of socks."
"Dear. Ida Know, Although it shows
a certain creativity, please refrain
from lining up the kitchen chairs like
a choo-choo train. Are you also the
one who keeps stacking up the couch
cushions? Or is that Ididint Dooit? If
so, please speak with him about it."
"Dear malevolent pixie-ghosts, The
next one of you cretins who uses four
kitchen towels to mop up a Kool-Aid
spill, leaves them in the sink, and
tries to cover up the evidence with
leftover ravioli, carrot peels, and the
dregs of your Ramen noodle cup -- will
be drawn and quartered!"
Ideally, I'd like to catch one of these
villains and duct tape them to the
wall, but something tells me that's
never going to happen. They're just
too good.
HEY
MONEYMANI
-ley MoneyMan! I've heard on the
news recently about banks collapsing.
Some people had money in the bank and
then couldn't get their money out before
it shut down. Should I be worried about
ny own savings account?
VioneyMan Sez: Your money in the
bank should be fine. The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. (FDIC) offers coverage
up to $100,000 per customer. For those
using credit unions, the National Credit
Union Share Insurance Fund provides
the same protection as well. So unless,
you have more than $100,000 in your
bank, you should be just fine.
In the instance you do have that much
or more; I would recommend putting
anything over $100K into a different
bank and you would also be covered at
the additional institution as well.
If you have additional concerns, you may
contact the FDIC at 877 ASK-FDIC or
visit www.fdic.gov/edie online.

Annual
event
showcases
culture,
diversity
By Kaylee LaRocque
Staff Writer
Under the shade of
the massive oak
trees near the St.
Johns River, the eighth
annual NAS Jacksonville
Multi-Cultural Fair
brought out hundreds of
Sailors, civilians, their
families and friends to
learn about other cultures
and enjoy some tasty food
last Thursday.
The fair, which was held
at the Bachelor Officer's
Pavilion, showcased numer-
ous cultures through enter-
tainment, command-spon-
sored exhibit booths and
special food samplings pro-
vided by the galley.
"The annual Multi-
Cultural Awareness Fair
presents an opportunity
to enhance cross-cultur-
al awareness and recog-
nize contributions and
achievements of the dif-
ferent ethnic groups that
make up the American cul-
ture," explained NAS Jax
Equal Opportunity Advisor
ITCM(SW) Vernon Gardner
Jr.
"The fair promotes har-
mony among all military
members, their families and
the civilian work force. The
focus of the fair is directed
toward interaction not just
recognition."
The fair is sponsored by
the NAS Jax Multi-Cultural
Awareness Committee
(MCAC), which is com-
prised of volunteers from
the different commands.
The committee plans, coor-
dinates and sets up every-
thing to bring the fair to
the base.
"This fair lets us cel-
ebrate all the different
cultures that make up our
country. It took a lot plan-
ning and we had a lot of
help from volunteers and
the commands here to orga-
nize this event. Everyone
came together to help with
the food, set-up, creating
booths and entertainment.
It's a lot of work but we
had a great turnout so it
makes it all worth it," said
NAS Jax Equal Opportunity Advisor ITCM(SW) Vernon Gardner presents SK2 Travis Bonn of
Aviation Support Detachment with the first place trophy after winning the car show competition.
IT2 Sherri Hill, a member
of the MCAC.
Command participation is
also required to make this a
successful event.
"Each year, commands
are asked to get involved
by choosing an ethnic group
and setting up a special dis-
play about customs, foods,
clothing, and other eth-
nic items. Our committee
works extremely hard orga-
nizing this event, setting
up, helping out during the
day and cleaning up. We
really appreciate everyone's
support," Hill continued.
The event began as
MU3 Sean Meyer sang the
national anthem and NAS
Jax Command Chaplain
Cmdr. Gerald Felder gave
the invocation. NAS Jax
Executive Officer Cmdr.
Ellis Bowler then offered a
few remarks to kick off the
festivities.
"I'd like to thank the
Multi-Cultural Awareness
Committee for working so
hard to put on this event.

Marriage and
personal growth
From Spiritual Fitness Division Southeast
T he Chaplain's Religious Enrichment
Development Operation (CREDO) offers
a variety of retreats for anyone holding a
Department of Defense ID card who is over the age
of 18. Transportation, programming, lodging and
meals are free. Retreats are held at the Sea Retreat
Center in St. Simons Island, Ga.
Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER)
Sept. 26-28, Oct. 24-26
The goal of MER is to help couples work on the inti-
macy of their relationship. Communication techniques
are explored, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
assessment helps participants understand different
personality types and how they affect relationships.
A variety of exercises are used to help couples come
together in a non-threatening environment without
the everyday distractions of work and home life. An
MER helps couples discover ways to:
Keep their marriage growing.
Handle the inevitable conflicts better.
Build more intimacy and communication.
Strengthen their marriage emotionally, physically
and spiritually.
Personal Growth Retreat (PGR)
Oct. 2-5
The PGR is a 72-hour process that begins on
Thursday and ends on Sunday. It is a safe place
where you can "defrag" the issues of your life. It gives
individuals the opportunity to better understand
themselves, develop a healthier sense of personal
responsibility, and gain a new perspective on life and
relationships.
A prerequisite is the willingness to truthfully look
at one's life and the courage to make decisions as to
how that life will progress. Be ready to spend a week-
end undisturbed by outside distractions, where you
can fully devote yourself to assessing where you are
spiritually, how to nurture yourself, and gain a vision
of where you want to go with your life. It's also a time
to understand the spiritual journey of others and
incorporate that into your own goals for growth.

"A SMALL CHURCH
WITH A BIG HEART"
Let there be light
By Chaplain (Lt.) Joe Molina
On April Fools Day people attempt to dupe others
into thinking that what is true is not -or vice versa.
I believe that people fall for these pranks because
there is an innate drive in human beings to know and
believe in the truth.
When formulating the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein
was attempting to dispel some myths and half-truths in
order to arrive at the facts. What he offered to mankind was
a gift of intuitive insight and knowledge
that revolutionized the modern era. Dr.
Einstein once said that the reason that
he could formulate the theory of relativ-
ity was because there is one thing in
the physical, material universe that is
unchangeable. That one immutable fac- -
tor is the speed of light. It is one of the .,
only known constants in the physical
universe. plain
Light travels at 186,000 miles per sec- (Lt.) Joe Molina
ond. That means that any glimmer of
light will travel seven times around the world in one sec-
ond. Wow, that is amazing! The power of light is piercing.
You just know when there is just the slightest glimmer of
light in a room. You cannot deny when light has pierced the
darkness. In fact darkness and light cannot coexist together
at the same time and in the sameplace.,
I'll even go further to say that without light we would not
exist (and I'm not fooling). Light gives warmth. The sun's
light nourishes our very being. Without light, ours would
be a world of total darkness. It would be a freezing, lifeless
uninhabitable planet floating in the galaxy. So ... let there
be light!
From time immemorial, light has been a symbol for that
which is good and true. Better yet, it has, also become a
symbol pointing toward that which is ultimately good. That
which is ultimately good must be unchangeable. It must
pierce the heart as light pierces the darkness and it must
be consistent from generation to generation. The radiance
of what is good and true cannot be denied. When we are
exposed to this "light" it will uncover the presence of any
"darkness" in our life and will challenge us to dispel that
which is not good and true we then become responsible
for the truth. We also assume responsibility for living and
projecting the truth. Here are some other truisms about
light: 1. The light of truth is functional. Just as a lighthouse
projects light at all hours of the night, we are called to shed
light at all times. This requires an intentional and self-con-
scious awareness of our own need for goodness and truth.
It will require a level of personal preparedness in shedding
light (truth) whenever necessary. C.S. Lewis expressed it
well in his book, Miracles: "We believe that the sun is in the
sky at mid-day. Not because we can so clearly see the sun,
CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
but because we can see everything else!" What is good and
true is like that. It helps us to see clearly everything else.
2. The light of truth is practical. That which is true will.
show the direction to go. It will give security to the voyager
and shows the way to safety. There is something interesting
about the truth. Once you are there it surrounds you with a,
sense of security.
3. The light of truth is praiseworthy. It saves lives. Like a"
city on a mountaintop whose light cannot be denied, truth is
the very extension of God's refulgence lighting the way for
us.
A slightly drunk man is seen crawling on his hands and
knees under a streetlight. He's looking for something. A
friend sees him and asks what he's looking for.
"I'm looking for my house keys," the man answers.
Wanting to help him, the friend says, "Give me an idea
where you think you dropped the keys."
"Over there in the bushes," said the man.
"Then why in the world are you looking over here?!" his
friend cried out in disbelief. "Because this is where the light
is."
Modern man can sometimes be best depicted in that most
revealing encounter. That is, knowing that we have lost
something and equally knowing that the light (truth) is the
answer!
Catch the light! .

Be alert for rabies
By MC2(AW/SW)
Marcel Barbeau
Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs
More than 50 years
ago, rabies caused
over 100 deaths a
year in the United States.
Due to vaccinations for
domestic animals, that
number has declined to
only two or three a year.
However, rabies still
accounts for 55,000 deaths
world-wide, so continued
awareness is always neces-
sary.
According to the Center
for Disease Control and
Prevention in Atlanta, wild
animals account for 92 per-
cent of rabies cases report-
ed in the United States.
The most common carri-
ers of rabies are raccoons,
bats, skunks and foxes.
Though these animals can
look cute and cuddly from
afar, it can be dangerous to
interact with them.
"People need to under-
stand you shouldn't touch
wild animals such as rac-
coons and foxes," said
Army Specialist Samantha
Scholle, an animal care
specialist stationed aboard
NAS Jacksonville.
"If .you get bitten by a
rabid animal, it can pass
the disease onto you and
can kill you if it's not
caught early."
Scholle says it's just as
important to protect your
pets from the disease.
"It's. also important to
remember to vaccinate your
pets and don't let them go
near wild or stray animals,"
said Scholl. "Wild animals
do carry diseases and if
your pets aren't vaccinated
then they can pick up those
diseases, too."
According to HM2 Ivan
Oliver, a preventative med-
icine technician at Naval
Hospital Jacksonville, you
should take appropriate
actions if an animal bites
you.
"It's a very serious dis-
ease," said Oliver. "If you
get bit, you want to make
sure you wash the wound
with soap and water, and
get to your local emergency
room as soon as possible.
Rabies can cause death if it
goes untreated."
In an animal, early symp-
toms may include change
in the tone of a dog's bark,
chewing at the site of the
bite, fever, loss of appe-
tite, and other changes in
behavior.
As the disease progress-
es, symptoms may include
erratic behavior, episodes
of aggression, anxiety,
irritability, restlessness,
seizures, and in the final
phase of the disease, foam-
ing at the mouth and paral-
ysis of the jaw and throat.
Although a change of
behavior is usually the first
sign, pet owners should be
aware this can occur for
reasons other than rabies,
such as digestive disorders
or poisoning.
The rabies virus is almost
always transmitted by the
bite of an infected animal.'
In people, early symptoms
of rabies resemble those of
the flu. A person may be
feverish, have a headache
and feel fatigued.
If a person goes untreat-
ed, symptoms may worsen
to insomnia, anxiety, confu-
sion, partial paralysis, hal-
lucination, agitation, hyper-
salivation, difficulty swal-
lowing and a fear of water.
Never under-estimate the
importance of vaccinating
your pets and never allow
them to come in contact
with wildlife.
If you live in Duval
County, dogs, cats and
ferrets must be vaccinated
for rabies and must have
their city license renewed
every year. During hMiM?
ricane season, it is more:
important than ever that.

Greater Jacksonville Area USO
T he Greater Jacksonville Area USO
is in danger of closing its doors
by December 2008 due to severe
cuts in our corporate funding and dwin-
dling donations. To turn this around, we
appeal for your help as a USO volunteer
and donor.
We also need your help to dispel the fol-
lowing misconceptions about your USO:'
"I already give to the USO." That
may be true, however, your Greater
Jacksonville Area USO is an "indepen-
dent affiliate" which means that we do
not receive any financial assistance from
World- USO Headquarters. That's why
we ask that you directly donate to the
Greater Jacksonville Area USO via local
donations or through CFC #97347 on
your payroll deduction. Donations are tax
deductible, and no donation is too small.
"I thought the USO was funded by
the U.S. Government." No, the Greater
Jacksonville Area USO is not support-
ed by or paid by the U.S. Government.
We are strictly a non-profit agency that
depends 100 percent on donations from
local businesses and individuals.
"How can I donate to the USO?"
Select one of three easy ways. (1) Go to
www.jaxuso.org and donate via PayPal.
(2) Walk into any of our three offices and
make your check payable to "Greater
Jacksonville Area USO" for any amount.
(3) Mail your donation to Greater
Jacksonville Area USO, 2560 Mayport
Rd., Atlantic Beach, FL 32233.
"How can I donate to the troops?"
There is no other agency or department
on any military installation that can
accept a donation from the public and
give it to the troops. Only the USO can
accept financial or "in kind" donations.
"Does the USO have a "free mail-
ing" arrangement with the U.S. Postal
Service?" No, we must pay for all post-
age in order to ship items overseas to our
troops.
Jacksonville is a major player in nation-
al defense. We simply must have your
financial support to avoid closing of any
of our area USOs. Remember, there are
only four USOs in Florida, and three are
right here in northeast Florida. Please,
spread the word regarding oifr "Help on
the Home Front" fundraising campaign.
n the Navy, military
training teaches us a
rating and the disci-
pline to achieve our goals.
The Navy also teaches us
to be a "good shipmate."
We have all heard that
term and have tried to live
by that credo. However,
in some instances, being a
good shipmate can be cost-
ly.
I am not suggesting that
we should not be good ship-
mates. Rather, I'm sug-
gesting that we should all
be careful about the actions
we take. This is especially
true when we lend poten-
tially dangerous equipment
to a fellow service member
or family member.

CPO induction journey continues
By Clark Pierce
Editor
NAS Jax Command Master Chief
CMDCM(SW/SS) Jeff Hudson
reports that CPO Selectees are
enthusiastically embracing the mission,
vision and seven guiding principles that
are stressed throughout the "season of
pride" leading up to the pinning ceremo-
nies on Sept. 16.
CPO Mission
Provide leadership to the enlisted force
and advice to Navy leadership to create
combat-ready Naval forces.
CPO Vision
A senior enlisted force that serves first
and foremost as deckplate leaders com-
mitted to developing Sailors and enforcing
standards; remains responsive, aligned
and well-connected to both leadership and
Sailors; and conducts itself in a consis-
tently professional, ethical and traditional
manner.
CPO Guiding Principles
Deckplate Leadership Chiefs are vis-
ible leaders who set the tone. We will know
the mission, know our Sailors and develop
them beyond their expectations as a team
and as individuals.
Institutional and Technical Expertise
- Chiefs are the experts in their field. We
will use experience and technical knowl-
edge to produce a well trained enlisted and
officer team.
Professionalism Chiefs will actively
teach, uphold and enforce standards. We
will measure ourselves by the success of
our Sailors. We will remain invested in the
Navy through self-motivated military and
academic education and training and will
provide proactive solutions that are well
founded, thoroughly considered, and linked
to mission accomplishment.
Character Chiefs abide by an uncom-
promising code of integrity, take full
responsibility for their actions and keep
their word. This will set a positive tone for
the command, unify the mess, and create
esprit de corps.
Loyalty Chiefs remember that loyalty
must be demonstrated to seniors, peers
and subordinates alike, and that it must
never be blind. Few things are more impor-
tant' than people who have the moral cour-
age to question the appropriate direction
in which an organization is headed and
then the strength to support whatever final
decisions are made.
Active Communication Chiefs encour-
age open and frank dialog, listen to Sailors
and energize the communication flow up
and down the chain of command. This will
increase unit efficiency, mission readiness
and mutual respect.
Sense of Heritage Defines our past
and guides our future. Chiefs will use heri-
tage to connect Sailors to the Navy legacy,
teach values and enhance pride in service
to our country.

LEGAL: Vicarious liability
From Page 8
automobile or motorcycle to a fellow crewmember -and
that crewmember became involved in an accident. Usually
this fact pattern has the additional fact that there was
inadequate or no insurance on the vehicle and that a third
party was injured or suffered some sort of damages. The
owner of the vehicle in these cases could be subject to a
lawsuit for damages under these theories of liability.
There are some defenses that many states recognize
under the Dangerous Instrumentality Doctrine. For exam-
ple, if your vehicle is stolen from you and the thief gets in
an accident while escaping and causes injury or damage,
most states will excuse the vehicle owner from liability.

Groundbreaking for new national cemetery
From Staff
The Department ,of
Veterans Affairs
(VA) announced the
Jacksonville VA National
Cemetery groundbreaking
ceremony will take place
Sept. 21 at 2 p.m. Cemetery
Director Arleen Vincenty
said Navy Band Southeast
will perform for local vet-
erans, city and state offi-
cials, and dignitaries from
Washington D.C.
The new cemetery is
north of the Jacksonville
International Airport and
approximately five miles
from Interstate 295 on
569 acres acquired from
the city. The cemetery will
serve 189,000 veterans in
the northeastern Florida
and southeastern Georgia
region.:
Vincenty explained, "The
initial Phase 1-A construc-
tion effort now underway
focuses on a 15-acre early
burial area with temporary
facilities. When Phase 1-
B is completed, the 52-acre
Phase 1 development will
provide 7,500 full casket
gravesites, plus, 7,200 pre-
placedcrypts, 5,000 in-
ground cremation sites and
4,500 columbarium niches
for cremated remains."
She said Phase 1 infra-
structure construction
consists of roadways, an
entrance area, an adminis-
tration and public informa-
TypoQueens-Stock
tion center, a maintenance
complex, a flag assembly
area, a memorial walkway,
committal service shelters,
as well as interment areas.
Other improvements
include utilities, grading,
drainage, fencing, landscap-
ing,-and irrigation system.
The VA awarded the
$1,25 million master
plan design contract to
England, Thims & Miller
of Jacksonville. Initial con-
From Staff
Preliminary damage
assessment (PDA)
is an on-site, first-
hand survey conducted by
teams of federal, state and
local emergency personnel
to determine the type and
amount of damage a disas-
ter has caused.
The survey is conducted
at the request of the affect-
ed state.
Initiating the PDA
When a governor decides
that effective disaster
response may be beyond
state capabilities, a
request for a PDA is made
to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency
(FEMA) regional office.
Acting on that request,
FEMA joins state and local
emergency and other fed-
eral representatives to con-
duct a PDA survey of the
impacted area.
PDA Teams are staffed by
specialists with extensive
experience in the following:
Public Assistance -
inispecting\buildings, roads,
water and sewer treatment
facilities and other essen-
tial public facilities.
Human Services sur-
veying residential damage
to determine the impact of
the disaster on individuals
and families.
The joint teams visit the
disaster area to determine
the impacts of private and
public damages and to esti-
mate the recovery costs.
Results of the PDA
A summary report is
prepared for the gover-
nor, which may serve as a
1 .. .
basis for a state decision
to request a major disas-
ter declaration from the
President.
Financial capabilities. and
insurance coverage are fac-
tors in evaluating a federal
declaration, but are not the
sole criteria in making a
declaration decision.

VS-32 MAULERSS'
1949-2008
In Jacksonville since October '73, with move to Cecil Field
VS-32 'Maulers'
legacy, Part One
By Cmdr. Doug Siegfried
USN (Ret.)
After more than 58 years
of faithful and devoted ser-
vice, the VS-32 "Maulers"
will disestablish Sept. 25 at
NAS Jacksonville. Here is
part one of their legacy.
The squadron was
established May 31,
1949 as Composite
(anti-submarine) Squadron
32 (VC-32) at NAS Norfolk,
Va., flying the Grumman
TBM-3E/S Avenger. Less
than a year, later the
squadron was re-desig-
nated Anti-submarine
Squadron 32 (VS-32).
In 1951, VS-32 moved to
NAS Quonset Point, R.I.,
(its home for the next 23
years) and transitioned to
the hunter-killer Avenger
models designated the
TBM-3W and -3S.
During the two-plane
Avenger era, the Maulers
operated their TBMs in the
Atlantic, Mediterranean,
Caribbean and South
America from USS Palau
(CVE-122), Mindoro (CVE-
120), Siboney (CVE-112),
Wright (CVL-49), Salerno
Bay (CVE-110), Saipan
(CVL-48), Oriskany (CV-
34), Gilbert Island (CVE-
107) and Cabhot (CVL-28).
In June i954, the
Maulers' Avengers were
retired and replaced by the
new twin-engine, carrier-
based "single ASW pack-
age" Grumman S2F-1/-2
Tracker.
In September 1954, VS-32
made its first S-2F cruise
on USS Leyte (CVS-32) fol-
lowed by deployments on
Tarawa (CVS-40), as part
of Task Group Bravo on
Wasp (CVS-18) and Lake
Champlain (CVS-39).
In October 1959, the
Maulers began a six-year
partnership with CVS-39,
the last CVS straight-deck
carrier. While other Atlantic
Fleet VS "Stoof" pilots
enjoyed their angle-deck,
mirror-equipped "super car-
riers," VS-32 pilots met the
challenges of paddle passes
on dark and stormy nights
in the Atlantic until the
squadron made its last
deployment on the "Champ",/
in August 1965.
In May 1960, VS-32's
large, 30-plane "stoof"
squadron was divided in
two to form VS-22. Both VS-
32 and VS-22 joined HS-5
and a VAW-12 detachment
to form CVSG-54.
VS-32 traded in their
tired S2F-ls in 1966 for the
more capable S-2Es, first
deploying on Essex (CVS-9),
followed by a short cruise
on Randolph (CVS-15) later
in the year.
In February 1969, CVSG-
54 moved from Essex to
Wasp (CVS-18), continuing
to participate in Atlantic
ASW exercises. In October
1971, VS-32 spent 11
days as part of CVW-3 on
Saratoga (CV-60) during
Phase II of the CV carrier
testing and a month later
made its last deployment
on Wasp.
Squadron control was
transferred to Commander
Fleet Air Quonset Point
when CVSG-54 was dis-
established July 1972. In
October 1973, VS-32 moved
to it new home at NAS Cecil
Field.

During the 21 years the
Maulers flew the Stoof, the
squadron conducted opera-
tions and deployments in
the Atlantic, Caribbean,
Norwegian Sea and
Mediterranean keeping
tabs on Allied and Soviet
submarines, surface com-
batants and merchant ship-
ping. VS-32 also provided
support during the Cuban
Missile Crisis, the Six-Day
War and during several
space vehicle recoveries.
In August 1975, VS-32
began its year-long transi-
tion to the twin turbo-fan-
powered Lockheed S-3A
Viking.
Next week: award-win-
ning leadership in the S-3
community.
Did You Know?
USS Lake Champlain
(CV-39), built by the Norfolk
Navy Yard in Portsmouth,
Va., was commissioned in
June 1945. This 27,100-ton
Ticonderoga Class aircraft
carrier set a trans-Atlaritic
speed record in Nov. 1945
and remained in reserve
until the Korean War.
In August 1957, she was
converted to an anti-sub-
marine warfare support air-
craft carrier and re-desig-
nated CVS-39. In that role,
she continued her Atlantic,
Caribbean and Med-iter-
ranean assignments for
another eight years, includ-
ing participation in the
Cuban Quarantine in 1962.
In addition to her normal
anti-submarine activities,
Lake Champlain acted as
recovery ship for manned
space flights and assisted in
hurricane relief activities.
By the early 1960s, Lake
Champlain had become the

Rendered redundant by
the "super-carriers," she
was decommissioned in May
1966. USS Lake Champlain
was stricken from the Naval
Vessel Register in 1969 and
sold for scrap in 1972.

Grumman
TBF/TBM Avenger
From Cradle of Aviation Museum
The TBF Avenger was first contract-
ed for by the U.S. Navy in 1940.
Ironically, its first public display
ivas December 7, 1941 at a Grumman
6pen house in Bethpage, N.Y. In response
to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,
the aircraft was subsequently named the
"Avenger."
One of the most versatile aircraft of
World War Two, the Avenger carried a
crew of three (pilot, bombardier and gun-
ner) and was equipped with an electrically
powered gun turret and an internal bomb
bay for either torpedoes, bombs or depth
charges. It was also the Navy's largest and
heaviest, single-engine, carrier aircraft.
A total of 9,842 Avengers rolled off
assembly lines, including 7,546 examples
built by the Eastern Aircraft Division of
General Motors (designated TBM), which
took over production in 1942 so that
Grumman could increase production of the

The Avenger played an instrumental role
in the major battles of the Pacific, includ-
ing the Marshall and Gilbert Islands cam-
paigns, and the Battles of the Philippine
Sea, Leyte, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. It
was also one of the Pacific's most effective
submarine killers (30 confirmed). In the
Atlantic, Avengers flying from escort car-
riers warded off German U-Boats, as well
as providing air cover for vital Allied troop

and supply convoys.
Beginning in 1949, Grumman produced
a hunter-killer pair of Avengers known
as to the TBM-3S (killer) anti-submarine
strike version, and the TBM-3W (hunt-
er) anti-submarine search version with
APS-20 radar in ventral radome. This pair
of hunter/killer Avengers (also known as
the AF-1 and AF-2 Guardian) were pow-
ered by a P&W R-2800-48W Double Wasp
radial engine, providing 2,400 horsepower
to a big, four-bladed propeller. The last
Guardian was produced in 1953, for a total
of 389 of all variants built. This unique duo
flew until Grumman could bring its twin-
engine S2-F Tracker into production.

C::"/ onceived in 1950, when jet aircraft were replacing propeller driven aircraft in

E6 combine the detection equipment and armament to, hunt and destroy submarines -
and operate from an aircraft carrier.
=-Before Trackers went into service in 1954, the U.S. Navy had been using single-engine
Grumman AF-2 Guardians, working in hunter-killer pairs, with one plane detecting and
locating enemy submarines and the other
actually attacking it.
Individual twin-engine Trackers could
do it all, as they were equipped with radar, S2F Specifications
searchlights, sonobuoys and Magnetic
Anomaly Detectors (MAD) for detection ,
and location, and sub-killing weaponry that Wingspan: 72' 7

and storage on board aircraft carriers. Top Speed: 287 mph
Production deliveries began in 1953 and Weight: 18,315 lbs
eventually 1,342 Trackers were built for the
Navy in 16 different versions. An enlarged
torpedo bay, enhanced passenger and cargo capacity, longer range radar detection capa-
bility, and continual upgrading of electronic capabilities marked the development of the
S-2 series.
The Tracker became known as the "Stoof", a corruption of the "S-Two-F' designation.
This compact carrier-based aircraft provided a capable platform for ocean patrol and sub-
hunting, and also served as the basis for the "Trader" transport and "Tracer" early-warn-
ing aircraft.
With service delivery in 1957, the Stoof variant C-1A "Trader" performed carrier
onboard delivery (COD). The Trader featured a modified fuselage, but was otherwise
parts-compatible with the Tracker. The Trader was fitted with easily removed seats for
nine passengers, and included sliding bulkheads to secure cargo for carrier landings.
In 1958, the E-1B Tracer featured a large dorsal "saucer" radome and three tailfins to
compensate for the wake interference of the radome. The radome also blocked the wings
from folding upward, so they were redesigned to fold backward along the fuselage in clas-
sic Grumman fashion,
The first S2F-3 flew in 1959 and featured a fuselage stretch of 18 inches, a larger tail
plane, and an increase in wingspan of 35 inches. It was bigger overall to provide more
crew space, fuel capacity and equipment load.
Deliveries to foreign nations totaled 342 Trackers as they served with the armed forces
of Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Turkey, Peru, Chile,
Norway, Germany, Columbia, Spain, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Uruguay, Venezuela and
Taiwan. S2Fs also saw service during the Vietnam War where they performed naval
gunfire spotting duty. Today Trackers are still being flown by many foreign air forces
and as firefighting water bombers in the Pacific Northwest.

Looking back to July 1950...
File photo
Flying the Grumman F9F Panther, the Blue Angels performed for the last time at NAS Jacksonville because the squadron
was ordered to transition to a war footing at the beginning of the Korean War. They were redesignated VF-191, "Satan's
Kittens." Lt. Cmdr. Johnny Magda is the only member of the Blue Angels who died during the Korean Conflict. His plane
was hit by a surface-to-air missile while on combat patrol.
Strangers in my house
By Laura Snyder
Special Correspondent
There are three strangers wan-
dering around my house. I've
never seen them, but I know
they are here. Now, before you call
the guys with the strait jackets,
you ought to know that although I
might not be considered sane even
on a good day, this is not one of those
things that is all in my head.
I know they are here because they
leave lots of clues; almost as if they
want me to know they are here.
Maybe they are ghosts, or elves, or
malevolent little pixies. I even know
their names because, apparently my
kids know them and have called them
by name:
Nott Mee a Kung-fu madman.
Ida Know a sneaky thief and pro-
moter of anarchy.
Ididint Dooit a mastermind of cat-
astrophic events.
If I could just catch one of these
miscreants, I would call the police
and have them all hung by their little
toes. These elves, or ghosts or what-
ever they are, are ruining my home
and making it look like my children
are doing it. Despicable! A classic
bad-guy-sets-up-the-innocent ruse.
Of course, my children are little
angels. This morning, I asked them
who was experimenting with the
blender and pancake mix and left a
trail of gooey stuff all the way to the
bathroom.
"Ididnt Dooit," said one of my
angels. I knew it! But just to be sure,
I asked another one.
"Who decided to fling the mix
around the stove and counters so that
it would harden into little, yellow,
cement puddles and make it virtually
impossible to remove?"
"Nott Mee," she said. Aha! Ididint
Dooit had an accomplice who was
apparently thoroughly trained in the
art of mess making. I mean, he is
good! The mess he made was such
that one would need a sandblaster to
rectify the situation.
These evil doers will not go unpun-
ished, but I have to catch them first.
Until that time comes, I have taken
to putting out notes just to let them
know I'm on to them.
In the bathroom I left a note that
said: "Dear Ida Know, please be more
careful when brushing your teeth. It's
very difficult to see around the globs
of toothpaste that you have smeared
on the mirror. (Although, I have to
say your toothpaste illustration of
Calvin urinating on a Math book is
very good.)"

training saves aircraft
for operational missions
From Page 1
environment across all P-3C mis-
sion areas.
By placing a greater emphasis on
simulation-based training in the
form of TORT, VP-30 aircraft can
be better used performing opera-
tional missions versus supporting
costly aerial training."
The P-3C TORT provides mis-
sion rehearsal capability and
complete readiness-level profi-
ciency training for anti-subma-
rine warfare, anti-surface war-
fare and intelligence surveillance
and reconnaissance missions for
acoustic and non-acoustic sensor
operators.

Access the Web site at: www.cnic.navy.mil/

Click on "Programs"

bers or provide a command-verified DD-1172 form.
Retirees may provide a notarized DD-1172 form for
family member ID Card renewals.
Walk-in customers will continue to be served on a
first come, first served basis; however, customers
with appointments will have priority at the time of
their appointment. Walk-in service will continue to be
available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. 4
p.m. for all customers.
Call 542-4218, Ext.108 for more information.
Fite's invitation to address the
squadron's CPO selectees.
"I congratulate you all on your
advancement to chief petty officer
- the most important promotion
within our Navy's enlisted ranks.
It's a statement of your leadership
and your individual commitment
to excellence. I know, because
I was raised by a master chief.
Even after I was commissioned,
he kept an eye on the quality of
my character because core values
were a way of life with him," said
Williams.
"As you all know, and as I have
learned over 30 years, the Navy
just wouldn't function without
chief petty officers," he added.
In the laundry room: "Dear Ididint
Dooit, Your clothes are, of course,
exceptional, but as far as I know, they
do not have the ability to transport
themselves to their respective draw-
ers. Please assist them."
In the kitchen: "Dear Nott Mee,
Chocolate pudding is to be eaten at
the table. If you feel the need to eat
off the floor please inform me of your
decision, or you will be required to
buy me a new pair of socks."
"Dear Ida Know, Although it shows
a certain creativity, please refrain
from lining up the kitchen chairs like
a choo-choo train. Are you also the
one who keeps stacking up the couch
cushions? Or is that Ididint Dooit? If
so, please speak with him about it."
"Dear malevolent pixie-ghosts, The
next one of you cretins who uses four
kitchen towels to mop up a Kool-Aid
spill, leaves them in the sink, and
tries to cover up the evidence with
leftover ravioli, carrot peels, and the
dregs of your Ramen noodle cup -- will
be drawn and quartered!"
Ideally, I'd like to catch one of these
villains and duct tape them to the
wall, but something tells me that's
never going to happen. They're just
too good.
HEY
MONEYMANI
Hey MoneyMan! I've heard on the
news recently about banks collapsing.
Some people had money in the bank and
hen couldn't get their money out before
t shut down. Should I be worried about
ny own savings account?
VIoneyMan Sez: Your money in the
)ank should be fine. The Federal Deposit
insurancee Corp. (FDIC) offers coverage
ip to $100,000 per customer. For those
sing credit unions, the National Credit
Jnion Share Insurance Fund provides
he same protection as well. So unless,
you have more than $100,000 in your
)ank, you should be just fine.
[n the instance you do have that much
)r more; I would recommend putting
anything over $100K into a different
)ank and you would also be covered at
he additional institution as well.
[f you have additional concerns, you may
contact the FDIC at 877 ASK-FDIC or
visit www.fdic.gov/edie online.

Groundbreaking for new national cemetery
From Staff
The Department of
Veterans Affairs
(VA) announced the
Jacksonville VA National
Cemetery groundbreaking
ceremony will take place
Sept. 21 at 2 p.m. Cemetery
Director Arleen Vincenty
said Navy Band Southeast
will perform for local vet-
erans, city and state offi-
cials, and dignitaries from
Washington D.C.
The new cemetery is
north of the Jacksonville
International Airport and
approximately five miles
from Interstate 295 on
569 acres acquired from
the city. The cemetery will
serve 189,000 veterans in
the northeastern Florida
and southeastern Georgia
region.
Vincenty explained, "The
initial Phase 1-A construc-
tion effort now underway
focuses on a 15-acre early
burial area with temporary
From Staff
A preliminary damage
assessment (PDA)
is an on-site, first-
hand survey conducted by
teams of federal, state and
local emergency personnel
to determine the type and
amount of damage a disas-
ter has caused.
The survey is conducted
at the request of the affect-
ed state.
Initiating the PDA
When a governor decides
that effective disaster
response may be beyond
state capabilities, a
request for a PDA is made
to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency
(FEMA) regional office.
Acting on that request,
FEMA joins state and local
emergency and other fed-
eral representatives to con-
duct a PDA survey of the
impacted area.
PDA Teams are staffed by
specialists with extensive
experience in the following:
Public Assistance -
inspecting buildings, roads,
water and sewer treatment
facilities and other essen-
tial public facilities.
Human Services sur-
veying residential damage
to determine the impact of
the disaster on individuals
and families.
The joint teams visit the
disaster area to determine
the impacts of private and
public damages and to esti-
mate the recovery costs.
Results of the PDA
A summary report is
prepared for the gover-
nor, which may serve as a
ooo
basis for a state decision
to request a major disas-
ter declaration from the
President.
Financial capabilities and
Proud to Serve
insurance coverage are fac-
tors in evaluating a federal
declaration, but are not the
sole criteria in making a
declaration decision.
struction will prepare a
small burial area to ensure
that veteran burials can
take place before all phase
1 facilities are completed.
Veterans with a discharge
other than dishonorable,
their spouses and depen-
dent children are eligible
for burial in a national cem-
etery.
Other burial benefits for
facilities. When Phase 1-
B is completed, the 52-acre
Phase 1 development will
provide 7,500 full casket
gravesites, plus, 7,200 pre-
placed crypts, 5,000 in-
ground cremation sites and
4,500 columbarium niches
for cremated remains."
She said Phase 1 infra-
structure construction
consists of roadways, an
entrance area, an adminis-
tration and public informa-
TypoQueens-Stock
tion center, a maintenance
complex, a flag assembly
area, a memorial walkway,
committal service shelters,
as well as interment areas.
Other improvements
include utilities, grading,
drainage, fencing, landscap-
ing, and irrigation system.
The VA awarded the
$1.25 million master
plan design contract to
England, Thims & Miller
of Jacksonville. Initial con-
VA operates 125 national
cemeteries in 39 states and
Puerto Rico. More than 3.4
million Americans, includ-
ing veterans of every war

Marriage and
personal growth
From Spiritual Fitness Division Southeast
T he Chaplain's Religious Enrichment
Development Operation (CREDO) offers
a variety of retreats for anyone holding a
Department of Defense ID card who is over the age
of 18. Transportation, programming, lodging and
meals are free. Retreats are held at the Sea Retreat
Center in St. Simons Island, Ga.
Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER)
Sept. 26-28, Oct. 24-26
The goal of MER is to help couples work on the inti-
macy of their relationship. Communication techniques
are explored, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
assessment helps participants understand different
personality types and how they affect relationships.
A variety of exercises are used to help couples come
together in a non-threatening environment without
the everyday distractions of work and home life. An
MER helps couples discover ways to:
Keep their marriage growing.
Handle the inevitable conflicts better.
Build more intimacy and communication.
Strengthen their marriage emotionally, physically
and spiritually.
Personal Growth Retreat (PGR)
Oct. 2-5
The PGR is a 72-hour process that begins on
Thursday and ends on Sunday. It is a safe place
where you can "defrag" the issues of your life. It gives
individuals the opportunity to better understand
themselves, develop a healthier sense of personal
responsibility, and gain a new perspective on life and
relationships.
A prerequisite is the willingness to truthfully look
at one's life and the courage to make decisions as to
how that life will progress. Be ready to spend a week-
end undisturbed by outside distractions, where you
can fully devote yourself to assessing where you are
spiritually, how to nurture yourself, and gain a vision
of where you want to go with your life. It's also a time
to understand the spiritual journey of others and
incorporate that into your own goals for growth.

come, first served) by calling 270-6958.

"A SMALL CHURCH
WITH A BIG HEART" I
Let there be light
By Chaplain (Lt.) Joe Molina
On April Fools Day people attempt to dupe others
into thinking that what is true is not -or vice versa.
I believe that people fall for these pranks because
there is an innate drive in human beings to know and
believe in the truth.
When formulating the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein
was attempting to dispel some myths and half-truths in
order to arrive at the facts. What he offered to mankind was
a gift of intuitive insight and knowledge
that revolutionized the modern era. Dr.
Einstein once said that the reason that
he could formulate the theory of relativ- "
ity was because there is one thing in
the physical, material universe that is
unchangeable. That one immutable fac-
tor is the speed of light. It is one of the
only known constants in the physical
universe. .
Light travels at 186,000 miles per sec- (LtChaplain
ond. That means that any glimmer of
light will travel seven times around the world in one sec-
ond. Wow, that is amazing! The power of light is piercing.
You just know when there is just the slightest glimmer of
light in a room. You cannot deny when light has pierced the
darkness. In fact darkness and light cannot coexist together
at the same time and in the same place.
I'll even go further to say that without light we would not
exist (and I'm not fooling). Light gives warmth. The sun's
light nourishes our very being. Without light, ours would
be a world of total darkness. It would be a freezing, lifeless
uninhabitable planet floating in the galaxy. So ... let there
be light!
From time immemorial, light has been a symbol for that
which is good and true. Better yet, it has also become a
symbol pointing toward that which is ultimately good. That
which is ultimately good must be unchangeable. It must
pierce the heart as light pierces the darkness and it must
be consistent from generation to generation. The radiance
of what is good and true cannot be denied. When we are
exposed to this "light" it will uncover the presence of any
"darkness" in our life and will challenge us to dispel that
which is not good and true we then become responsible
for the truth. We also assume responsibility for living and
projecting the truth. Here are some other truisms about
light: 1. The light of truth is functional. Just as a lighthouse
projects light at all hours of the night, we are called to shed
light at all times. This requires an intentional and self-con-
scious awareness of our own need for goodness and truth.
It will require a level of personal preparedness in shedding
light (truth) whenever necessary. C.S. Lewis expressed it
well in his book, Miracles: "We believe that the sun is in the
sky at mid-day. Not because we can so clearly see the sun,
CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
but because we can see everything else!" What is good and
true is like that. It helps us to see clearly everything else.
2. The light of truth is practical. That which is true will
show the direction to go. It will give security to the voyager
and shows the way to safety. There is something interesting
about the truth. Once you are there it surrounds you with a
sense of security.
3. The light of truth is praiseworthy. It saves lives. Like a
city on a mountaintop whose light cannot be denied, truth is
the very extension of God's refulgence lighting the way for
us.
A slightly drunk man is seen crawling on his hands and
knees under a streetlight. He's looking for something. A
friend sees him and asks what he's looking for.
"I'm looking for my house keys," the man answers.
Wanting to help him, the friend says, "Give me an idea
where you think you dropped the keys."
"Over there in the bushes," said the man.
"Then why in the world are you looking over here?!" his
friend cried out in disbelief. "Because this is where the light
is."
Modern man can sometimes be best depicted in that most
revealing encounter. That is, knowing that we have lost
something and equally knowing that the light (truth) is the
answer!
Catch the light!

VS-32 MAULERSS'
1949-2008
In Jacksonville since October '73, with move to Cecil Field
VS-32 'Maulers'
legacy, Part One
By Cmdr. Doug Siegfried
USN (Ret.)
After more than 58 years
of faithful and devoted ser-
vice, the VS-32 "Maulers"
will disestablish Sept. 25 at
NAS Jacksonville. Here is
part one of their legacy.
The squadron was
established May 31,
1949 as Composite
(anti-submarine) Squadron
32 (VC-32) at NAS Norfolk,
Va., flying the Grumman
TBM-3E/S Avenger. Less
than a year, later the
squadron was re-desig-
nated Anti-submarine
Squadron 32 (VS-32).
In 1951, VS-32 moved to
NAS Quonset Point, R.I.,
(its home for the next 23
years) and transitioned to
the hunter-killer Avenger
models designated the
TBM-3W and -3S.
During the two-plane
Avenger era, the Maulers
operated their TBMs in the
Atlantic, Mediterranean,
Caribbean and South
America from USS Palau
(CVE-122), Mindoro (CVE-
120), Siboney (CVE-112),
Wright (CVL-49), Salerno
Bay (CVE-110), Saipan
(CVL-48), Oriskany (CV-
34), Gilbert Island (CVE-
107) and Cabot (CVL-28).
In June 1954, the
Maulers' Avengers were
retired and replaced by the
new twin-engine, carrier-
based "single ASW pack-
age" Grumman S2F-1/-2
Tracker.
In September 1954, VS-32
made its first S-2F cruise
on USS Leyte (CVS-32) fol-
lowed by deployments on
Tarawa (CVS-40), as part
of Task Group Bravo on
Wasp (CVS-18) and Lake
Champlain (CVS-39).
In October 1959, the
Maulers began a six-year
partnership with CVS-39,
the last CVS straight-deck
carrier. While other Atlantic
Fleet VS "Stoof" pilots
enjoyed their angle-deck,
mirror-equipped "super car-
riers," VS-32 pilots met the
challenges of paddle passes
on dark and stormy nights
in the Atlantic until the
squadron made its last
deployment on the "Champ"
in August 1965.
In May 1960, VS-32's
large, 30-plane "stoof"
squadron was divided in
two to form VS-22. Both VS-
32 and VS-22 joined HS-5
and a VAW-12 detachment
to form CVSG-54.
VS-32 traded in their
tired S2F-ls in 1966 for the
more capable S-2Es, first
deploying on Essex (CVS-9),
followed by a short cruise
on Randolph (CVS-15) later
in the year.
In February 1969, CVSG-
54 moved from Essex to
Wasp (CVS-18), continuing
to participate in Atlantic
ASW exercises. In October
1971, VS-32 spent 11
days as part of CVW-3 on
Saratoga (CV-60) during
Phase II of the CV carrier
testing and a month later
made its last deployment
on Wasp.
Squadron control was
transferred to Commander
Fleet Air Quonset Point
when CVSG-54 was dis-
established July 1972. In
October 1973, VS-32 moved
to it new home at NAS Cecil
Field.
The Maulers main-
tained carrier proficiency
in their S-2s through 1976
on board Intrepid (CVS-
11), Forrestal (CVA-59),
Franklin D. Roosevelt
(CVA-42), Saratoga (CV-62)
and Lexington (CVT-16).
During the 21 years the
Maulers flew the Stoof, the
squadron conducted opera-
tions and deployments in
the Atlantic, Caribbean,
Norwegian Sea and
Mediterranean keeping
tabs on Allied and Soviet
submarines, surface com-
batants and merchant ship-
ping. VS-32 also provided
support during the Cuban
Missile Crisis, the Six-Day
War and during several
space vehicle recoveries.
In August 1975, VS-32
began its year-long transi-
tion to the twin turbo-fan-
powered Lockheed S-3A
Viking.
Next week: award-win-
ning leadership in the S-3
community.
Did You Know?
USS Lake Champlain
(CV-39), built by the Norfolk
Navy Yard in Portsmouth,
Va., was commissioned in
June 1945. This 27,100-ton
Ticonderoga Class aircraft
carrier set a trans-Atlantic
speed record in Nov. 1945
and remained in reserve
until the Korean War.
In August 1957, she was
converted to an anti-sub-
marine warfare support air-
craft carrier and re-desig-
nated CVS-39. In that role,
she continued her Atlantic,
Caribbean and Med-iter-
ranean assignments for
another eight years, includ-
ing participation in the
Cuban Quarantine in 1962.
In addition to her normal
anti-submarine activities,
Lake Champlain acted as
recovery ship for manned
space flights and assisted in
hurricane relief activities.
By the early 1960s, Lake
Champlain had become the

Rendered redundant by
the "super-carriers," she
was decommissioned in May

was stricken from the Naval
Vessel Register in 1969 and
sold for scrap in 1972.

CPO induction journey continues
By Clark Pierce
Editor
NAS Jax Command Master Chief
CMDCM(SW/SS) Jeff Hudson
reports that CPO Selectees are
enthusiastically embracing the mission,
vision and seven guiding principles that
are stressed throughout the "season of
pride" leading up to the pinning ceremo-
nies on Sept. 16.
CPO Mission
Provide leadership to the enlisted force
and advice to Navy leadership to create
combat-ready Naval forces.
CPO Vision
A senior enlisted force that serves first
and foremost as deckplate leaders com-
mitted to developing Sailors and enforcing
standards; remains responsive, aligned
and well-connected to both leadership and
Sailors; and conducts itself in a consis-
tently professional, ethical and traditional
manner.
CPO Guiding Principles
Deckplate Leadership Chiefs are vis-
ible leaders who set the tone. We will know
the mission, know our Sailors and develop
them beyond their expectations as a team
and as individuals.
Institutional and Technical Expertise
- Chiefs are the experts in their field. We
will use experience and technical knowl-
edge to produce a well trained enlisted and
officer team.
Professionalism Chiefs will actively
teach, uphold and enforce standards. We
will measure ourselves by the success of
our Sailors. We will remain invested in the
Navy through self-motivated military and
academic education and training and will
provide proactive solutions that are well
founded, thoroughly considered, and linked
to mission accomplishment.
Character Chiefs abide by an uncom-
promising code of integrity, take full
responsibility for their actions and keep
their word. This will set a positive tone for
the command, unify the mess, and create
esprit de corps.
Loyalty Chiefs remember that loyalty
must be demonstrated to seniors, peers
and subordinates alike, and that it must
never be blind. Few things are more impor-
tant than people who have the moral cour-
age to question the appropriate direction
in which an organization is headed and
then the strength to support whatever final
decisions are made.
Active Communication Chiefs encour-
age open and frank dialog, listen to Sailors
and energize the communication flow up
and down the chain of command. This will
increase unit efficiency, mission readiness
and mutual respect.
Sense of Heritage Defines our past
and guides our future. Chiefs will use heri-
tage to connect Sailors to the Navy legacy,
teach values and enhance pride in service
to our country.

automobile or motorcycle to a fellow crewmember -and
that crewmember became involved in an accident. Usually
this fact pattern has the additional fact that there was
inadequate or no insurance on the vehicle and that a third
party was injured or suffered some sort of damages. The
owner of the vehicle in these cases could be subject to a
lawsuit for damages under these theories of liability.
There are some defenses that many states recognize
under the Dangerous Instrumentality Doctrine. For exam-
ple, if your vehicle is stolen from you and the thief gets in
an accident while escaping and causes injury or damage,
most states will excuse the vehicle owner from liability.

Be alert for rabies
By MC2(AW/SW)
Marcel Barbeau Though these animals can do carry diseases and if '..
Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs look cute and cuddly from your pets aren't vaccinated --
More than 50 years
ago, rabies caused
over 100 deaths a
year in the United States.
Due to vaccinations for
domestic animals, that
number has declined to
only two or three a year.
However, rabies still
accounts for 55,000 deaths
world-wide, so continued
awareness is always neces-
sary.
According to the Center
for Disease Control and
Prevention in Atlanta, wild
animals account for 92 per-
cent of rabies cases report-
ed in the United States.
The most common carri-
ers of rabies are raccoons,
bats, skunks and foxes.
atar, it can be dangerous to
interact with them.
"People need to under-
stand you shouldn't touch
wild animals such as rac-
coons and foxes," said
Army Specialist Samantha
Scholle, an animal care
specialist stationed aboard
NAS Jacksonville.
"If you get bitten by a
rabid animal, it can pass
the disease onto you and
can kill you if it's not
caught early."
Scholle says it's just as
important to protect your
pets from the disease.
"It's also important to
remember to vaccinate your
pets and don't let them go
near wild or stray animals,"
said Scholl. "Wild animals
then they can pick up those
diseases, too."
According to HM2 Ivan
Oliver, a preventative med-
icine technician at Naval
Hospital Jacksonville, you
should take appropriate
actions if an animal bites
you.
"It's a very serious dis-
ease," said Oliver. "If you
get bit, you want to make
sure you wash the wound
with soap and water, and
get to your local emergency
room as soon as possible.
Rabies can cause death if it
goes untreated."
In an animal, early symp-
toms may include change
in the tone of a dog's bark,
chewing at the site of the
bite, fever, loss of appe-
tite, and other changes in
behavior.
As the disease progress-
es, symptoms may include
erratic behavior, episodes
of aggression, anxiety,
irritability, restlessness,
seizures, and in the final
phase of the disease, foam-
ing at the mouth and paral-
ysis of the jaw and throat.
Although a change of
behavior is usually the first
sign, pet owners should be
aware this can occur for
reasons other than rabies,
such as digestive disorders
or poisoning.
The rabies virus is almost
always transmitted by the
bite of an infected animal.
In people, early symptoms
of rabies resemble those of
the flu. A person may be
feverish, have a headache
and feel fatigued.
If a person goes untreat-
ed, symptoms may worsen
to insomnia, anxiety, confu-
sion, partial paralysis, hal-
lucination, agitation, hyper-
salivation, difficulty swal-
lowing and a fear of water.
Never under-estimate the
importance of vaccinating
your pets and never allow
them to come in contact
with wildlife.
If you live in Duval
County, dogs, cats and
ferrets must be vaccinated
for rabies and must have
their city license renewed
every year. During hur-
ricane season, it is more
important than ever that
pets be licensed. Duval
County is opening up pet-
friendly shelters for the
first time but they only
accept licensed and vacci-
nated pets.
At the time of inocula-
tion, the veterinarian is
required to either sell the
City of Jacksonville Rabies
Tag or provide the owner
with the paperwork to pur-
chase the tag from the Tax
Collector. The license fee
for an animal in the City of
Jacksonville is $15 annu-
ally.
A call to arms from your USO
By Bob Ross
Greater Jacksonville Area USO
The Greater Jacksonville Area USO
is in danger of closing its doors
by December 2008 due to severe
cuts in our corporate funding and dwin-
dling donations. To turn this around, we
appeal for your help as a USO volunteer
and donor.
We also need your help to dispel the fol-
lowing misconceptions about your USO:
"I already give to the USO." That
may be true, however, your Greater
Jacksonville Area USO is an "indepen-
dent affiliate" which means that we do
not receive any financial assistance from
World USO Headquarters. That's why
we ask that you directly donate to the
Greater Jacksonville Area USO via local
donations or through CFC #97347 on
your payroll deduction. Donations are tax
deductible, and no donation is too small.
"I thought the USO was funded by
the U.S. Government." No, the Greater
Jacksonville Area USO is not support-
ed by or paid by the U.S. Government.
We are strictly a non-profit agency that
depends 100 percent on donations from
local businesses and individuals.
"How can I donate to the USO?"
Select one of three easy ways. (1) Go to
www.jaxuso.org and donate via PayPal.
(2) Walk into any of our three offices and
make your check payable to "Greater
Jacksonville Area USO" for any amount.
(3) Mail your donation to Greater
Jacksonville Area USO, 2560 Mayport
Rd., Atlantic Beach, FL 32233.
"How can I donate to the troops?"
There is no other agency or department
on any military installation that can
accept a donation from the public and
give it to the troops. Only the USO can
accept financial or "in kind" donations.
"Does the USO have a "free mail-
ing" arrangement with the U.S. Postal
Service?" No, we must pay for all post-
age in order to ship items overseas to our
troops.
Jacksonville is a major player in nation-
al defense. We simply must have your
financial support to avoid closing of any
of our area USOs. Remember, there are
only four USOs in Florida, and three are
right here in northeast Florida. Please
spread the word regarding our "Help on
the Home Front" fundraising campaign.
The potential price of friendship: Vicarious liability
By Thomas Wallace, Esq.
Legal Assistance Attorney
n the Navy, military
training teaches us a
rating and the disci-
pline to achieve our goals.
The Navy also teaches us
to be a "good shipmate."
We have all heard that
term and have tried to live
by that credo. However,
in some instances, being a
good shipmate can be cost-
ly.
I am not suggesting that
we should not be good ship-
mates. Rather, I'm sug-
gesting that we should all
be careful about the actions
we take. This is especially
true when we lend poten-
tially dangerous equipment
to a fellow service member
or family member.

The theory of vicarious
liability is the concept in
which an individual can
be held legally responsible
for the wrongful conduct
of another party. Under
this concept of liability is
what many states call the
"Dangerous Instrumentality
Doctrine." This doctrine is
most often applied to motor
vehicles, but it could be
applied to any potentially
dangerous object. Some
examples are guns, air-
planes, motorcycles or other
items or machines that if
operated incorrectly, could
cause harm.
Under the Dangerous
Instrumentality Doctrine
as it applies to automo-
biles, the owner of a vehi-
cle may be found to be
responsible for damages to
a third party if the owner
entrusted another person
to use that vehicle, and the
person to whom the vehicle
was entrusted improperly
or negligently operated the
motor vehicle and caused
injury or property damage
to the third party.
This fact pattern may
sound familiar. Our legal
assistance offices regularly
assist clients who, in the
interest of being a "good
shipmate," have lent their

Grumman
TBF/TBM Avenger
From Cradle of Aviation Museum
The TBF Avenger was first contract-
ed for by the U.S. Navy in 1940.
Ironically, its first public display
was December 7, 1941 at a Grumman
open house in Bethpage, N.Y. In response
to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,
the aircraft was subsequently named the
"Avenger."
One of the most versatile aircraft of
World War Two, the Avenger carried a
crew of three (pilot, bombardier and gun-
ner) and was equipped with an electrically
powered gun turret and an internal bomb
bay for either torpedoes, bombs or depth
charges. It was also the Navy's largest and
heaviest, single-engine, carrier aircraft.
A total of 9,842 Avengers rolled off
assembly lines, including 7,546 examples
built by the Eastern Aircraft Division of
General Motors (designated TBM), which
took over production in 1942 so that
Grumman could increase production of the
Avenger

F6F Hellcat fighter.
The Avenger played an instrumental role
in the major battles of the Pacific, includ-
ing the Marshall and Gilbert Islands cam-
paigns, and the Battles of the Philippine
Sea, Leyte, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. It
was also one of the Pacific's most effective
submarine killers (30 confirmed). In the
Atlantic, Avengers flying from escort car-
riers warded off German U-Boats, as well
as providing air cover for vital Allied troop

and supply convoys.
Beginning in 1949, Grumman produced
a hunter-killer pair of Avengers known
as to the TBM-3S (killer) anti-submarine
strike version, and the TBM-3W (hunt-
er) anti-submarine search version with
APS-20 radar in ventral radome. This pair
of hunter/killer Avengers (also known as
the AF-1 and AF-2 Guardian) were pow-
ered by a P&W R-2800-48W Double Wasp
radial engine, providing 2,400 horsepower
to a big, four-bladed propeller. The last
Guardian was produced in 1953, for a total
of 389 of all variants built. This unique duo
flew until Grumman could bring its twin-
engine S2-F Tracker into production.

Grumman S2F Tracker
From Cradle of Aviation Museum
Conceived in 1950, when jet aircraft were replacing propeller driven aircraft in
the Navy, the Tracker nevertheless went on to have a remarkably long service
life. The first Tracker flew in December 1952 and it was the first aircraft design
to combine the detection equipment and armament to hunt and destroy submarines -
and operate from an aircraft carrier.
Before Trackers went into service in 1954, the U.S. Navy had been using single-engine
Grumman AF-2 Guardians, working in hunter-killer pairs, with one plane detecting and
locating enemy submarines and the other
actually attacking it.
Individual twin-engine Trackers could
do it all, as they were equipped with radar,
searchlights, sonobuoys and Magnetic
Anomaly Detectors (1NI\1)) for detection
and location, and sub-killing weaponry that
included depth charges, homing torpedoes
and bombs. The outboard wing panels also
folded to the rear to facilitate movement
and storage on board aircraft carriers.
Production deliveries began in 1953 and
eventually 1,342 Trackers were built for the
Navy in 16 different versions. An enlarged

torpedo bay, enhanced passenger and cargo capacity, longer range radar detection capa-
bility, and continual upgrading of electronic capabilities marked the development of the
S-2 series.
The Tracker became known as the "Stoof', a corruption of the "S-Two-F" designation.
This compact carrier-based aircraft provided a capable platform for ocean patrol and sub-
hunting, and also served as the basis for the "Trader" transport and "Tracer" early-warn-
ing aircraft.
With service delivery in 1957, the Stoof variant C-1A "Trader" performed carrier
onboard delivery (COD). The Trader featured a modified fuselage, but was otherwise
parts-compatible with the Tracker. The Trader was fitted with easily removed seats for
nine passengers, and included sliding bulkheads to secure cargo for carrier landings.
In 1958, the E-1B Tracer featured a large dorsal "saucer" radome and three tailfins to
compensate for the wake interference of the radome. The radome also blocked the wings
from folding upward, so they were redesigned to fold backward along the fuselage in clas-
sic Grumman fashion,
The first S2F-3 flew in 1959 and featured a fuselage stretch of 18 inches, a larger tail
plane, and an increase in wingspan of 35 inches. It was bigger overall to provide more
crew space, fuel capacity and equipment load.
Deliveries to foreign nations totaled 342 Trackers as they served with the armed forces
of Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Turkey, Peru, Chile,
Norway, Germany, Columbia, Spain, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Uruguay, Venezuela and
Taiwan. S2Fs also saw service during the Vietnam War where they performed naval
gunfire spotting duty. Today Trackers are still being flown by many foreign air forces
and as firefighting water bombers in the Pacific Northwest.
