Teams ready for any crisis
Navy installations
provide support
in times of need
By MC2(AW/SW)
Marcel Barbeau
Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs
On Navy installations
around the world, Emer-
gency Family Assistance
Centers offer numerous resourc-
es for Navy personnel and their
families during times of crisis,
including the annual hurricane
season.
"The Emergency Family
Assistance Center, which is
run by the 'Fleet and Family
Support Center, is a one-stop
shop for Navy personnel and
their families," said Carol Lucius,
work-family life coordinator
for Commander, Navy Region
Southeast (CNRSE). "We had
teams ready to go in [response] of
Hurricane Gustav."
Each team has case managers
who can help solve problems, and
includes housing and legal person-
nel, chaplains and Morale, Welfare
and Recreation employees.
"We can bring the American
Red Cross into the disaster area,
as well as Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society," said Lucius. "It
just really depends on the disas-
ter and what the needs are for
each situation."
The team begins its work even
before a storm hits. Even though
Hurricane Gustav turned out to
be a bad storm, "we had a team
ready to deploy, and we were just
waiting for the word saying we
were needed," said Lucius.
According to Lucius, one group
the team looks to help early is the
Individual Augmentees' families.
"Since the service member is
deployed overseas, we want to
ensure that those families' needs
are met before disaster strikes.
We help those families put a good
disaster plan in place."
In addition to the emergency
centers, a key component to pro-
viding assistance is the Navy
Family Accountability and
Assessment System (NFAAS),
which is used to muster personnel
and assess their needs during and
following a disaster.
"It's important for all Navy per-
sonnel active duty, reserve and
civilian to update their infor-
mation on NFAAS," said Lucius.
"If they have special needs due
to hurricanes, Navy personnel
and their families can fill out an
assessment survey on NFAAS to
receive assistance."
To log on to NFAAS, visit
https://www.navyfamily.navy.mil.
NFAAS is already providing
help to those in need.

dedication our employees have."
Throughout the region, installa-
tions are standing by in case sup-
port is needed for forecasted bad
weather caused by hurricanes.
"The Navy takes care of its
families," Lucius continued. "The

POW/MIA recognition
event next week
By Staff
A POW/MIA Recognition Observance
S will be- held aboard NAS
. acksonville Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. at
All Saints Chapel. The event will honor
all Americans who are former POWs, as
well as those who are still unaccounted
for and their families.
Keynote speaker will be Charles White, a
former Vietnam POW. In 1966, White was,
on his third tour in Vietnam as a combat
medic in the Marine Corps when his unit
was ambushed and he was captured.
. He spent about seven and a half months
as a POW and was forced to treat injured
Vietnamese soldiers until he was rescued
by U.S. troops.
The POW Pledge of Allegiance will be
led by Herman Lodinger, who was bom-
bardier in a B-24 aircraft shot down over
Nazi Germany. He was taken prisoner and
confined at Stalag Luft 3, the camp made
famous by the "Great Escape."
Many of the escaped POWs were recap-
tured and executed, as depicted in the 1963
movie starring Steve McQueen.
At the end of the observance, the NAS
Jacksonville Weapons Department will
render honors with A 21-gun salute. A
reception with refrfeshments will take place
in the Chapel Fellowship Hall.
POW/MIA observances are held nation-
ally and reaffirm a promise to fallen com-
rades, "you are not forgotten."
Military and civilian employees at NAS
Jacksonville, as well as all other area mili-
tary installations, are invited to attend.
The military attire for participants
is summer whites, working uniform for
guests and appropriate attire for civilians.

By the authority of the U.S. Secretary of War, a quartermaster
training camp, designated Camp Joseph E. Johnston, began con-
struction at Black Point within the boundaries of what is now
NAS Jacksonville. General contractors A. Bentley & Sons of Toledo,
Ohio, employed almost 9,000 workers to construct the entire
camp in just under four months.

tan couch. Your husband was right
about a tan couch and children being
a bad combination. Black footmarks
on the tan couch are the least of your
concern when you learn that the
upstairs shower leaks water like a
fire hose.
It makes sense that the shower
floods the upstairs when you consider
that the hose to the washing machine
floods the basement. In another few
months, the whole house will freeze
and it can be your own personal igloo.
The moving company has ;a lan-

box marked "chopper and plain from

"attic" for a house that has no attic.

the remote control to your "lost" flat

least the movers can't change chan-
nels without getting off the sofa.
When the movers label a box "Last

Yes, your husband really does plan

past 10 years.
It really does get cold in Maine.
Even in summer, when the weather
is a "balmy".79 degrees, the hardware
stores 'in Bangor are stocked with
heating equipment. In Florida, they
load the aisles with flashlights, bat-
teries, bottled water and other hurri-
cane supplies.
Judging by the intensity of the heat-
ing advertisements and the quanti-
ty of pellet stoves at Home Depot,
however, a bad Winter in Maine just
might be as scary as a hurricane in

kudos.
items that increase in value or improve
your cash flow in the near future.
Everything else is a losing proposition.
If you cannot afford to pay cash for items
that depreciate, wait until you can!
How bad can debt be? Let's say you
have a credit card with a $5,000 balance
and you stop using the card and start pay-
ing the bill that comes in each month.
If you only pay the minimum, it will
take you 12.5 years to pay it off and it will
cost you almost $3,000 in interest. That's
$3,000 down the drain.
One tip for getting out of debt is to dou-
ble your payment. If you doubled your
$200 payment to $400, you would be out
of debt in 14 months instead of 12.5 years
and your interest would go from $3,000
down to $579.
The cost of debt is high! Get rid of it as
soon as you can!

VP-16 joins American-Japanese ASW exercise near Okinawa
By Lt. Jonathan Whelan
PAO
The VP-16 "War Eagles"
recently participated in an
anti-submarine warfare
(ASW) exercise with Japanese
Maritime Self Defense Force
(JMSDF) P-3 squadron VP-5. The
interoperability exercise began
on Kadena Air Base in Okinawa
with a formal welcoming of
JMSDF VP-5, based at nearby
Naha, Okinawa.
After showing the Japanese
guests around the hangar and tac-
tical support center, War Eagles
Combat Air Crew SIX (CAC-6)
provided a briefing where they
discussed safety of flight and tac-
tical procedures for the combined
ASW training.
After the briefing, some VP-16
crew flew on the Japanese P-3,
and likewise, some Japanese VP-
5 crew flew with CAC-6 aircraft.
Once on station, the two crews
conducted four hours of coordi-
nated ASW training using an

minor complications with com- barrier. The extensive use of mul- as Link-11 Data Link, in addition
to previously established code
words or phrases, resolved any
set backs.
The capstone of the training,
was simulated torpedo attacks
on the target by both aircraft.
After the flight, the crews met at
the Japanese squadron's hangar,
in Naha to debrief and discuss
details of the flight in order to
improve future combined exer-
cises.
When discussing the exer-
cise, aircrew from both coun-
tries agreed that the training,
flight was a success, and valu-J
able to both forces' endeavors for
increased interoperability
The tactical coordinator for!
CAC-6, Lt. Dan Montgomery'
commented, "Bringing together'
maritime patrol forces from two'
navies to successfully complete
a coordinated ASW mission is a
difficult task. The extra pleasure'
was working with professionals at
Japanese Maritime Self Defense
Force made it a very meaningful
exercise."
National cemetery
breaks ground Sept. 21
From Staff
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) announced the Jacksonville
VA National Cemetery ground-
breaking ceremony will take place Sept.
21 at 2 p.m.
Cemetery Director Arleen Vincenty said
Navy Band Southeast will perform for local
veterans, city and state officials, and digni-
taries from Washington D.C. The public
is invited to attend the ceremony located
about five miles from 1-295 at 4083 Lannie
Road.
The cemetery will serve 189,000 veterans
in the northeastern Florida and southeast-
ern Georgia region. Burials are anticipated
to begin January 2009.
Vincenty explained, "The initial Phase 1-
A construction effort now underway focus-
es on a 15-acre early burial area with tem-
porary facilities. When Phase 1-B is com-
pleted, the 52-acre Phase 1 development
will provide 7,500 full casket gravesites,
including 7,200 pre-placed crypts, 5,000 in-
ground cremation sites and 4,500 colum-
barium niches for cremated remains."
She said Phase 1 infrastructure con-
struction consists of roadways, an entrance
area, an administration and public infor-
mation center, a maintenance complex, a
Prudt SI[EServehi'
Wer hr o hs e wo ned smst
flag assembly area, a memorial walkway,
committal service shelters, as well as inter-
ment areas. Other improvements include
utilities, grading, drainage, fencing, land-
scaping, and irrigation system.
The VA awarded the $1.25 million mas-
ter plan design contract to England, Thims
& Miller of Jacksonville. Initial construc-
tion 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 cemetery. Other burial benefits
for eligible veterans include a burial flag,
a Presidential Memorial Certificate, and a
government headstone or marker.
In the midst of the largest cemetery
expansion since the Civil War, the VA
operates 125 national cemeteries in 39
states and Puerto Rico. More than 3.4 mil-
lion Americans, including veterans of every
war and conflict -- from the Revolutionary
War to the Global War on Terror -- are
buried in VA national cemeteries.
Information on VA burial benefits can be
obtained from the Internet at http://www.

FEMA warns Floridians to maintain hurricane prep
From Staff
With many Floridians still dealing with
the aftermath of Tropical Storm Fay,
state and federal emergency manage-
ment officials urge residents to re-stock their
emergency kits and review their disaster plans.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)and Florida's emergency
response team urge residents to be prepared
and ready to evacuate if ordered to do so.
Review your family disaster plan.
* Where will you go in an evacuation? Will you stay with
family or friends, go to a motel or shelter? Don't forget
about pets. Many shelters will not permit them, so know
in advance where pet-friendly shelters are located.
Know your evacuation routes, stay current
with traffic reports, and:
* Go over your family's communication plan. Have a
friend or relative in another state or city serve as a point
of contact in case family members are separated.
Check or restock your portable disaster kit
in case of evacuation. It should include:
* At least a three-day supply of food and bottled water
for each family member
* A manual can opener
* Battery-powered radio and flashlights with extra
batteries
* First aid kit with family members' medications
* Hygiene and personal care items

Sandie to relieve Michel as HS-11 CO
By Lt. j.g. Joseph Hyde
HS-11 PAO
C mdr. Malachy Sandie assumes com-
mand of HS-11 tomorrow, reliev-
ing Cmdr. Mike Michel in a 10
a.m. ceremony at the NAS Ceremonial
Hanger 117. The guest speaker will bPe
Rear Adm. Gerald Mauer, former com-
mandant, Industrial College of the Armed
Forces, National Defense University, Fort
McNair, Washington, D.C.
Most recently, Sandie served as the
HS-11 "Dragonslayers" executive officer.
After the squadron's 2007 deployment to
the Persian Gulf, HS-11 was awarded the
Battle "E" for sustained superior perfor-
mance in an operational environment.
Sandie graduated from the United States
Naval Academy in 1990. He attended
flight school in Corpus Christi, Texas and
Pensacola. Receiving his naval aviator
wings in 1992, 'he reported to HS-10, the
SH-60F/HH-60H fleet replacement squad-
ron.
Joining the "Indians" of HS-6 in 1993,
Sandie made two deployments with the
USS Abraham Lincoln Battle Group in
support of Operations Restore Hope
(Somalia) and Southern Watch (Arabian
Gulf). His division officer jobs included
public affairs, line division, ASW, tactics,
material control, and NATOPS.
In 1996, he rotated to shore duty with
Commander, Helicopter Anti-submarine,
Wing, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Sandie served as
Cmdr. Malachy Sandie
training officer and as an instructor pilot
at HS-10. He was also a plank owner for
the HS Weapons School.
In 1998, he returned to sea duty with
Commander, Carrier Group 5, USS Kitty
Hawk, homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. He
participated in an emergent deployment
to the Persian Gulf and numerous com-
bined exercises. Sandie's duties included
air USW officer, helicopter element coordi-
nator, battle group airlift coordinator and
flag watch officer.
After a brief refresher course at HS-10,
Cmdr. Mike Michel
Sandie reported to the "Black Knights"
of HS-4 in July 2001, where he served as
administrative and maintenance depart-
ment heads. He participated in USS
Abraham Lincoln's historic nine-and-one-
half-month cruise in support of Operations
Southern Watch and Iraqi Freedom.
Sandie was maintenance officer when HS-
4 was awarded the Sikorsky Excellence in
Maintenance Award and the Battle "E."
In August 2003, Sandie reported to
Naval War College where he earned a
Master of Arts degree in national security
and strategic studies. In June 2004, Sandie
reported to Commander, U.S. Naval Air
Forces Atlantic Fleet as the assistant heli-
copter requirements officer.
Cmdr. Michel reported to HS-11 in April
2006, where he served as executive and
commanding officer. He led two back-
to-back combat deployments on board
USS Enterprise (CVN 65) between May
2006 and December 2007 in support of
Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring
Freedom. Over this two-year period, the
Dragonslayers were deployed or detached
for 491. days while flying over 7,500 mis-
hap-free flight hours.
During Michel's XO/CO tour, HS-11 won
consecutive Battle "E" awards for combat
readiness, the 2006 Adm. J. S. "Jimmy"
Thach Trophy as the best Anti-subma-
rine Warfare Helicopter Squadron in the
Atlantic Fleet, the 2006 Medical Blue "M"
for medical readiness, the 2006 and 2007
Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist pen-
nant, the 2006 and 2007 Chief of Naval
Operations Golden Anchor Retention
Award, and was the Navy's 2007 nominee
for the prestigious Secretary of Defense
Phoenix Award for superior maintenance.
Michel also won the 2007 Commander,
U.S Naval AirFForces Leadership Award
and was one of eight finalists for the 2007
Vice Adm. Stockdale award for inspira-
tional leadership.
His follow-on orders are to the NATO
staff in Lisbon, Portugal.
Suggestions for healthy choices for children
By Maj. Karen Fauber, dietitian
Defense Commissary Agency
We all want the best for our chil-
dren; yet we find it challenging
at times to get healthy, satisfy-
ing meals on the table. Work, school and
all the many day-to-day activities often
have us on the go.
If you find yourself rushing home after
work and trying to decide what to make
for dinner at the last minute, you are not
alone. Your commissary is working with
you to help you make choices that are good
for you and your family. If you are con-
cerned about your children's health, espe-
cially with the growing trend of overweight
and obesity today, you're not alone. The
Defense Commissary Agency (DeCa) rec-
ognizes that we need to teach our children
the importance of healthy eating and grow-
ing up physically active.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has
a section designed especially designed for
children (www.mypyramid.gov). There is
an interactive computer game where kids
can reach Planet Power by fueling their
rocket with food and physical activity. In
the game, there are "fuel" tanks for each
food group to help students keep track
of how their choices fit into MyPyramid.
After viewing the Website with your kids,
let them help plan meals and snacks for
a few days. This can be a fun learning
experience for the whole family. To help
you get started, here are a few ideas from
MyPyramid:
Make half your grains whole. Choose
whole-grain foods, such as whole-wheat
bread, oatmeal, brown rice and low-fat
popcorn, more often.
Vary your veggies. Go dark green and
orange with your vegetables-eat spinach,
broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Focus on fruits. Eat them at meals and
at snack time, too. Choose fresh, frozen,
canned or dried, and go easy on the fruit
juice.
Get your Icalcium-rich foods. To build
strong bones serve low-fat and fat-free
milk and other milk products several times
a day.
Go lean with protein. Eat lean or low-
fat meat, chicken, turkey and fish. Also,
change your tune with more dry beans
and peas. Add chickpeas, nuts or seeds to
a salad; pinto beans to a burrito; or kidney

beans to soup.
Change your oil. It's best to get yours
from fish, nuts and liquid oils such as corn,
soybean, canola and olive.
Don't sugarcoat it. Choose foods and
beverages that do not have sugar and
caloric sweeteners as one of the first ingre-
dients. Added sugars contribute calories
with few nutrients.
Encourage your children to apply what
they have learned whenever you go shop-
ping at the commissary.

nutrition, visit http://www.commissar-
ies.com, click on "Ask the Dietitian" and

MILITARY
BAGGAGE NOTES
By Stacy Binderim
PSD Jacksonville
Issue: Commercial airlines recently modified 'their
"excess accompanied baggage" policy for military
members traveling on official business.
Military members are required to show military ID to
check up to three bags at no charge.
Weight allowance and size restric-
tions vary by airline. Please note
that some carriers have included
dependents and other carriers never
had a third-bag fee policy for excess
accompanied baggage.
iImpact: Bags that exceed the
weight and size restriction may also
be subject to additional charges.
Suggested Action:
1. Military services should ensure that members have
"excess accompanied baggage" authorized on travel orders
in accordance with the service's excess baggage guidance.
2. Military members who do not have a travel charge
card or personal charge card are strongly advised to
request a cash advance if such charges are anticipated.
3. Travelers should review their airline's Web site to
ensure compliance with weight and size restrictions.
Nominations now being accepted
for military spouse honor
From Military Spouse Magazine
Military Spouse magazine (MSM) is accepting
nominations for its 2009 Military Spouse of the
Year (MSOY) award, sponsored by USAA. The
MSOY honoree represents the millions of military spous-
es who are unsung heroes maintaining the home front,
giving back selflessly to their communities and providing
support to our nation's troops. Often, these spouses also
have full-time jobs and raise families.
In recognition of their countless contributions, MSM
will honor one exemplary military spouse from each ser-
vice branch and also select one overall winner. The 2009
MSOY will be announced and honored nationally in the
June issue of Military Spouse magazine and at the second
annual MSOY awards ceremony to be held during the
week of May 4, 2009 in Washington, DC, in conjunction
with National Military Spouse Appreciation Week. The
winner will make public appearances, write a monthly
column to appear in Military Spouse magazine, and main-
tain a blog during his/her reign, which will last through
May 2010.
MSM and its readers will select the winner based on
his/her inspirational representation of all .military spous-
es. Nominees must be the spouse of a current member of
,the U.S. armed forces. Criteria for selecting the recipient
*include: impact on community change, volunteerism, per-
sonal sacrifice, education and career pursuits and other
military spouse-related efforts.
Submit a nomination form online at www.msoy.mil-
spouse.com by Oct. 8. Judges will review all submissions
and select ten finalists from each military service branch,
after which readers will select one branch winner. Judges
will be selected from MSM's "Who's Who of Military
Spouses," a list of influential military spouses.

FRCSE extends
service life of the
F/A-18 A-D Hornet
By Clark Pierce
Editor
T he "legacy" Hornet (models A-D) is the F/A-18 E/F
Super Hornet's predecessor. The first model was
introduced in the late 1970s as a spin-off of the
U.S. Air Force lightweight fighter competition. While the
General Dynamics F-16 won, Northrop's YF-17 eventually
evolved into the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18
Hornet.
y The operational requirements of extended deployments
in Afghanistan, Iraq and other areas of responsibility
increased demand for the Hornet, which accelerated wear-
and-tear issues on the original airframes.
Maintaining Hornet readiness takes into account the
number of aircraft carrier 'launches and recoveries a jet
has accumulated, as well as its total-flight hours. A Hornet
that reaches the Navy's flight-hour limit (7,500) must
be rebuilt or retired. The Navy decision to rebuild select
Hornets will sustain its legacy Hornet squadrons until the
naval joint strike fighter (JSF) begins reaching squadrons
in 2012.
The Center Barrel Replacement (CBR) program is the
heart of the Hornet structural refurbishment project.
"Our role in the legacy community' is to extend the ser-
vice life of the A through D models by doing CBR and wing
inspections," said F/A-18 General Foreman Angello Evans
of Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) at NAS
Jacksonville. "Our WIG wildly important goal is to
deliver 16 Hornets this fiscal year at cost or under."
Pioneered by Naval Aviation Depot North Island San
Diego, the CBR program replaces the crucial central fuse-
lage that supports the F/A-18's wings and landing gear,
components subject to great stress.during carrier take-offs
and landings. ,
"As we disassemble the fuselage, we also inspect, refur-
bish or replace every other component mechanical,
hydraulic and electrical," said Evans.
He said that it takes the coordinated effort of 237 arti-
sans and contractors to keep Hornets moving along the
nine-phase (called "cells") production line in Hangar 101.
"Our process is designed to move planes to the next cell
every 14 working days. Each cell supervisor posts a Gantt
chart for his or her team that details each task to be com-
pleted within that cell, whether it's to remove or install a
component," explained Evans. "Each artisan has a personal
stamp to 'sign off' on the chart when they complete a job."
"Our process is built around transparency and com-
munication. In fact, every day at 7:30 a.m. we walk the
hangar to conduct a Cell 1 to Cell 9 status check. If a bar-
rier is noted, we can designate additional artisans to the
appropriate cell in order to keep the line on schedule," said
Evans.
When an F/A-18 arrives at FRCSE, it undergoes a three-
day induction phase that evaluates the engines and control
systems, as well as reviewing the logbook for discrepan-:
cies. Then the aircraft enters Hangar 101 for the Cell 1
pre-strip phase where the team has four days to remove
the engines, ejection seat, electronics and other gear. After
the Hornet goes to the strip shop for paint'removal and
corrosion control, it returns to Cell 2 wearing a fresh coat
of green primer.
"At FRCSE, our artisans have turned disassembly into a
scientific process. Each component or part -from landing
gear to an electrical switch is placed in a specific 'kit box'
containing foam cutouts to cradle each part. When filled,
kit boxes go to a side shop in the hangar where specialists
evaluate each part for reassembly, rework or replacement.
At Cell 4, the naked fuselage is placed in a wheeled fix-
ture and separated into the nose, center barrel and tail
sections. The center barrel is removed and replaced by a
Cell 3 Supervisor Patrick Maloney checks labor expenditures
for a management report.
F/A-18 General Foreman Angello Evans listens as Tisa Wilson,
Cells 1 & 2 supervisor, describes an improvement to her
team's work sequence.
brand new unit. Attaching the new center barrel requires
a painstaking process of drilling up to 4,000 close-tolerance
holes for fasteners.
"By Cell 8, the Hornet regains its shape and identity.
The wings are installed, as well as fuel cells, the hydraulic
system and avionics. Cell 9 is the final stage in Hangar
101. It includes installation of the engines, a landing gear
check, filling the fuel cells, checking out the flight controls,
cockpit pressurization and finally, the installation of the
ejection seat," said Evans.
From Cell 9, the refurbished Hornet is towed to flight
check an eight-day process that includes a turn-and-burn
engine check at the "hush house" (a soundproof engine test
enclosure) and culminates with a test flight performed by
FRCSE Executive Officer Capt. Paul Sohl.
Sheetmetal Mechanic Ron Warren points out the challenges
of mating and fastening the new center barrel to the nose
fuselage.

surround a worn-out F/A-18 recently inducted into

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 them-
selves, develop a healthier sense of person-
al responsibility, and gain a new perspec-
tive on life and relationships.
A prerequisite is the willingness to truth-
fully look at one's life and the courage to
make decisions as to how that life will
progress. Be ready to spend a weekend
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.

Giving at-risk youths a hand up
&j Clark Pierce 'g-%
C leveland Arms Apartments is a HUD-assisted
rental community located in a tough, northwest
Jacksonville neighborhood where guns, drugs and
unemployment are a way of life. Residents rightfully
complain about health and safety conditions in this com-
munity that has witnessed three homicides so far in
2008.
Just when it seems almost impossible to make a dif-
ference in the lives of these at-risk youth along comes
David Robinson, his wife, Felecia, and their children
Jalisa, David, Devin and Dyson.
Robinson, a chief culinary specialist at NAS Jax Flight
Line Caf6 is a leader of the Greater Refuge Temple out-
reach ministry.
In partnership with Metro Kids Konnection, a non-
profit social services organization at Cleveland Arms,
Robinson's ministry gave away more than 180 backpacks
filled with school supplies donated by the NAS Jax Supply
Department.
."We also recruited volunteer hair stylists for the girls
and barbers for the boys to ensure they looked their best
on the first day of school," said Robinson, who has men-
tored children at Cleveland Arms Apartments for more
than two years. "The lawbreakers get most of the atten-
tion in this part of town. But when you talk with the peo-
ple, they just need guidance in their lives the majority
are single mothers with numerous kids.
Robinson and his family go to Cleveland Arms to throw
lifelines. "I'm proud that my wife and children travel with
me to share the passion to develop that entire apartment
complex. I began mentoring one child and through him I
also saw a need for others out there. After speaking with

Got your weather radio ready?
All Hazards Weather Radio is a service of the National
Oceanic ainhdn Atmospheric Administration: (NOAA). As
the "Voice of the National Weather Service," it provides
continuous broadcasts from your local National Weather
Service office. Weather messages are generally repeated
every five to 10 minutes and are routinely updated every
one to three hours or more frequently for rapidly chang-
ing weather conditions.
NOAA Weather Radio transmitters broadcast on one
of seven VHF frequencies from 162.400 MHz to 162.550
MHz. The broadcasts cannot be heard on 'a simple AM/FM
radio receiver. However, there are many receiver options,
ranging from battery powered handheld units that just
pick up Weather Radio -- to desktop and console models
that receive Weather Radio in addition to other brdad-
casts.
The National Weather Service neither manufactures nor
sells receivers. Receivers can be purchased at many retail
outlets, including electronics, sporting goods and marine
accessory stores as well as via the Internet from online
retailers.

names. 'However, since 1979, the list alternates between
male and female. The list contain names that begin from
A to W, but exclude names that begin with a "Q" or "U."

my pastor, Bishop Gentle Groover at Greater Refuge

the lives of the tenants," said Robinson.
Using tools from the Temple's outreach ministry,
Robinson goes, from apartment to apartment to touch the
lives of all oft he elderly, middle-aged and young people.
"We have prayer walks in the courtyards and special
events like the backpack give-away," said Robinson. "Next,

"People have to step forward and get involved ifithey
want to see a positive change. If not, prepare yourself ,to
see the news and be disgusted. I'm one of those people who
is determined not to let another child in that neighborhood

VS-32'MAULERS'
1949-2008
VS-32 'Maulers' legacy, Part Two
By Cmdr. Doug Siegfried, USN (Ret.)
After more than 58 years of faithful and devoted service,
the VS-32 "Maulers" will disestablish Sept. 25 at NAS
Jacksonville. Here is the final part of their legacy.
During the 21 years VS-32 flew the S2F "Stoof,"
the squadron conducted operations and deploy-
ments in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Norwegian Sea
and Mediterranean keeping tabs on Allied and Soviet
submarines, surface combatants and merchant shipping.
The "Maulers" 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 transition to the twin
turbo-fan-powered Lockheed S-3A Viking. The sound of its
engines were often compared to that of a vacuum cleaner,
hence its nickname, "The Hoover." In 1976, the Maulers
joined Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1), a partnership that
would endure for 32 years.
The squadron's inaugural Viking deployment was to
the North Atlantic on board John F. Kennedy (CV-67)
in January 1977. The Maulers followed this up with
four more deployments aboard CV-67; along with shake-
down Caribbean operations with Dwight D. Eisenhower
(CVN-69) and Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71); and 12 cruis-
es on America (CV-66). VS-32 made good use of their
S-3A during ASW and surveillance operations in the
Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean, Indian Ocean and
Arabian Gulf participating in NATO and allied exer-
cises, the 1980 Iran/Afghanistan crisis, 1982-83 and 1989
Lebanon crisis.
In November 1989, the Maulers began their transition
to the S-3B, attaining operational status in fall 1990 when
the CVW-1/America team shipped out on short notice for
the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf to support Operation
Desert Shield"'esert Storm. Desert Storm served as a
proving ground for the new S-3B system with the Maulers
exploiting the aircraft's capabilities to the fullest. In addi-
tion to flying electronic surveillance over Northern Kuwait
and Saudi Arabia, VS-32 provided surveillance support
and "passed some gas" to carrier strike assets.
SThe S-3B of Lt. Cmdr. Bruce "Baja" Bole and his crew of
JLt. Curt "Zippo" Lyter, Lt. Geof "EF'" Hutton and AW1(AC)
^Raymond McCracken made history when they sank a high
speed Iraqi gunboat with one 500-pound bomb.
Following Desert Storm, the Maulers and their Vikings
'lew from America in the Mediterranean, North Atlantic,
'Persian Gulf and Adriatic Sea. VS-32 was the first S-
!B squadron to participate in overland missions dur-
ing U.N. Operations Deny Flight and Sharp Guard in
Bosnia-Herzegovina; Restore Hope in Somalia; Support
:Democracy and Able Manner off the coast of Haiti; and
"Decisive Edge over the former republic of Yugoslavia. In

An S-3B Viking of VS-32 makes an arrested landing on the
flight deck of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS
Enterprise (CVN 65) in August 2006. Enterprise and Carrier
Air Wing One (CVW-1) were deployed in support of air
operations in Iraqi and Afghanistan.
April 1993, the Maulers were redesignated a Sea Control
Squadron, to better reflect its multi-mission role.
In 1997, VS-32 completed its BRAC-directed homeport
change to NAS Jacksonville. After the decommissioning
of America in 1996, CVW-1 was reassigned to George
Washington (CVN-73), for four deployments through April
1998 to the Atlantic, Med and Persian Gulf with aircraft
equipped with the AGM-65F Maverick missile system.
In November 1998, VS-32 deployed with CVW-1 for the
Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) shakedown cruise, followed by
two deployments in 1999 to the Atlantic, Mediterranean
and Persian Gulf.
In 2000 CVW-1 shifted operations to Theodore Roosevelt
and the Maulers upgraded their S-3Bs, conducting a suc-
cessful SinkEx with Maverick missiles in Puerto Rico.
Eight days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, the Maulers deployed on Theodore Roosevelt to
the North Arabian Sea for overland tanking and surface
surveillance in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in
Afghanistan. The squadron flew more than 1,900 sorties
and 4,000 flight hours. The Theodore Roosevelt/CVW-1
team set a record for the most consecutive days at sea
without a port visit -159.
In March 2002, the squadron's Vikings upgraded to a
Maverick Plus system and digital flight data computers.
In 2003, a Maulers S-3B launched a Standoff Land Attack
Missile Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) at the Point Mugu
test range. The squadron deployed on Enterprise (CVN-

and Persian Gulf in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom
and Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. After a quick
turn-around, VS-32 deployed with Enterprise for Summer
US Navy photo
In 2003, a VS-32 Viking successfully launched a Standoff Land
Attack Missile Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) at the Naval Air
Weapons Station test range in Point Mugu, Calif.
Pulse in support of numerous multinational exercises.
In 2006, the CVW-1/CVN-65 team weighed anchor for
a round-the-world cruise that included air support for
Iraqi and Afghanistan operations. During cruise, the now
"world famous" Maulers were the first S-3B squadron to
test the Low Altitude.Navigational and Targeting Infrared
for Night pod.
Faced with the impending Viking disestablishment, the
Maulers' final deployment took place July to December
2007 on Enterprise. The squadron provided non-tradition-
al intelligence and reconnaissance for the NATO forces on
the ground in southeastern Iraq.
The Navy S-3B Sundown Plan calls for the disestab-
lishment of Viking squadrons as the number of opera-
tional carrier-based squadrons flying the F/A-18E/F Super
Hornet increases. The Super Hornet will assume the
aerial tanking role of the S-3.
The Maulers of VS-32 are recognized for their years of
accomplishment in the VS community. VS-32 counts 10
ComNavAirLant Battle "E" awards; six Captain Arnold J.
Isbell trophies for excellence in ASW; six Admiral Jimmy
Thach awards for meritorious achievement by an ASW
squadron; and 15 CNO Safety "S" awards. The squad-
ron also received two Lockheed-Martin Golden Wrench
awards for maintenance excellence in 1986 and 1994;
the 1997 ComNavAirLant Silver Anchor award for reten-
tion; and the Arleigh Burke award in 1999 for the most
improved squadron.

About the
S-3 Viking
From Staff
In 1964, the Navy announced a requirement for a
new carrier-based antisubmarine warfare aircraft to
replace the aging Grumman S-2 Tracker. The new
aircraft was to have twice the speed, range and altitude
capability.
Lockheed designed the S-3A Viking for long-range, anti-
submarine warfare (ASW) against the Soviet threat. When
it was introduced to the fleet in 1974, the Viking had a crew
of four consisting of a Pilot, Copilot Tactical Coordinator
(COTAC), acoustic Sensor Station Operator (SENSO), and
Tactical Coordinator (TACCO). All crewmembers were
seated on ejection seats, and the pilot's controls included a
control stick in place of the traditional wheel.
The S-3B version is a modified S-3A with increased ASW
and new anti-surface warfare capabilities from improved
mission avionics and armament systems. Between 1987
and 1991, all east coast S-3A Vikings were modified by a
contractor field team at NAS Cecil Field.
The improved S-3B Viking incorporated improved tech-
nology for increased radar detection range and classifica-
tion, advanced acoustic processing, and support measures,
and has Harpoon missile capability. The S-3B is manned
and operated by an aircrew of three, consisting of a pilot,
COTAC, and TACCO. The SENSO position.was deleted
along with associated ASW equipment.
During Operation Desert Storm, the versatility of the S-
3B enabled it to serve a variety of roles. It flew hundreds of
sea surveillance missions to enforce the economic blockade
of Iraq and secure the seas surrounding the battle groups.
Mine detection was an especially critical mission in the
Persian Gulf. The S-3B also electronically monitored active
missile sites prior to air strikes.
Perhaps the most important contribution of the S-3B was
its airborne tanking capability. In this role, it employed a
hose-and-drogue refueling system that assured U.S. air-
craft reached their targets. In recognition of its broad appli-
cations, the designation of the S-3B Viking squadrons was
changed from Air Antisubmarine Squadron to Sea Control
Squadron.

TRICARE supports storm-affected beneficiaries
From Staff
T he 2008 Atlantic hurricane season
has proved to be an active one, but
TRICARE beneficiaries can rest
assured their healthcare needs are being
met. In the aftermath of Tropical Storms
Fay and Hanna, plus, Hurricanes Gustav
and Ike, TRICARE is assisting over
500,000 beneficiaries in affected areas.
TRICARE partnered with Humana
Military Healthcare Services (HMHS) and
military treatment facilities in the South
region to prepare for the storms and to
respond after the storms.
In the first wide-reaching request
since Hurricane Katrina, requirements
for referrals from primary care managers
(PCMs) have been waived for TRICARE
beneficiaries in designated areas impact-
ed by Gustav. Waivers of Primary Care
Manager (PCM) referrals allow bene-
ficiaries to seek medical care from any
TRICARE-authorized provider without a
referral from a PCM during the waiver
period. The waiver is currently sched-
uled to be in effect through Sept. 12.
Early prescription refills for beneficia-
ries impacted by the hurricane have also
been authorized for a six-week period.
This proactive measure enables TRICARE
beneficiaries to obtain critical medication
refills before evacuation, after the storm
passes, or in cases of extended relocation.
TRICARE officials remind beneficiaries
that early refills are only authorized for
prescriptions that were prescribed with
refills, and that have refills remaining.
Affected beneficiaries may take their pre-
scription bottle to any TRICARE retail net-
work pharmacy. If possible, those without.
their prescription bottle should visit the
pharmacy where the prescription was filled.
Beneficiaries can request assistance at
a different pharmacy if the pharmacy
agrees. If a retail chain is used, beneficia-
ries should consider using another' store in
that chain to obtain their medication. If a
beneficiary's PCM is available, he or she
may call in a new prescription to any net-
work pharmacy in the area. For questions
or to find the nearest network pharmacy
call Express Scripts at 1-866-363-8779.
TRICARE beneficiaries impacted by
storms or flooding may also use their one-
time-per-year override. TRICARE pays
for the beneficiary's additional refill when
this override is used, but beneficiaries are
responsible for applicable copayments.
Additional provisions may be authorized
if this benefit has already been used.
TRICARE officials assure beneficiaries and
families affected by natural disasters that
their health care benefits will be main-
tained, and that service and support will
continue. Beneficiaries can find informa-
tion to help them prepare before natural
disasters, and to seek help after natural
disasters through the storm alert page
linked from the red icon at the top of the
front page of http://www.tricare.mil, the
announcements section.

by federal and state disaster
recovery officials.
Affected residents and business

eral government's role in pre-
paring for, preventing, mitigat-
ing the effects of, responding to,
and recovering from all domes-
tic disasters, whether natural or
man-made, including acts of ter-
ror.

Navigating the maze of military life
The benefits of military 'spousedom'
By Beth Wilson
Special Contributor
I often joke that my mar-
riage is part-time and
long-distance due to the
deployment/workups that
take my husband away.
Knowing your resources,
,benefits and how to utilize
them can take you from
surviving military life to
thriving so let's take a
closer look.
Military One Source
(www. militaryonesource.
com or 800-342-9647) is
an assistance service pro-
vided free of charge to ser-
vice members and their
families. Available 24/7,
Military One Source (MOS)
*.can provide information on
everything from deploy-
ment readiness, child care
(including referrals in your
area), education and schol-
arship information and
much more. You will find
the website to be a great
resource of information and
their client support person-
nel are both friendly and
knowledgeable.
Navy Legal Services
Office (NLSO) is another
resource and benefit. NLSO
can review contracts and
leases (let them review
any and all before signing),
prepare advance directives
and powers of attorney
and more. Each base has a
NLSO office, so stop by to
pick up a brochure of their
services. It can help you
avoid legal entanglements.
Veterinarian services
are also available on most
installations for our 'furry
children.' Congress man-
dated a $2 user fee, and
services and medications
are provided at cost. The
breadth of services can vary
from base to base so check
your local office.
Let me stop here to men-
tion your dependent ID.
Beth Wilson
Your dependent ID card is
your 'ticket' to access your
benefits. You will need to
present it at the movie the-
ater, tlte medical clinic,
commissary and exchange.
Your card lists your social
security number and your
date of birth. If lost or sto-
len you are vulnerable to
identity theft. Your service
member's SSN is also listed
on that card. Please safe-
guard this card at all times.
CREDO or the Chaplain's
Religious Enrichment
Development Operation,
provides wonderful oppor-
tunities for personal growth
and enrichment, retreats
and seminars. These ser-
vices are provided free to
you and your service mem-
ber. Retreats include food,
lodging and materials and
often include transporta-
tion. They are held at lodg-
es, hotels and resorts in
the area. May I personally
recommend the Marriage
Retreat after deployment -
it's a great way to reconnect
with your service member.
Each base provides coun-
seling services through
Counseling, Advocacy and
Prevention Services (CAPS)
or the Family Advocacy
Program (FAP). These ser-

vices can include new-par-
ent support, deployment
support and marriage coun-
seling, plus, seminars on
anger management, com-
munication skills or life-
skills. I love it! Professional
life-coaches for free right
on base.
Navy-Marine Corps Relief
Society (www.nmcrs.org)
is an amazing non-profit,
charitable organization ded-
icated to assisting Sailors
and Marines in need with
"financial, educational and
other assistance." They also
offer classes like 'budget-
ing for baby' (graduates
receive 'Baby's First Sea
Bag' full of goodies for your
new arrival), to food lock-
ers, thrift shops, budget/
financial guidance (yeah,
free financial advisors) and
much more. Each base has
an NMCRS office, so stop
by to learn of the services
at your base.

From these sites you will
find great, reliable infor-

Another site to bookmark
and check out often is www.
militaryhomefront.dod.mil.
This is a 'one-stop' site for a
multitude of information on
military life, benefits, pro-
tocols and resources.
Perhaps the website I visit-
ed most frequently as a new
spouse was www.hazegray.

all the terms and slang we
encounter in the Navy. Want
to know what a bluejacket is
or an LES, PCS or a Seabee,
you'll find the answer here..
I hope this overview of ben-
efits and resources will help\
you as you find your 'sea \

style. Again, congratulations

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
MARRIAGE/PERSONAL GROWTH NEWS
Meet your religious
ministries team
this Saturday
By Command Chaplain
(Lt. Cmdr.) Gerald Felder
Good day, NAS Jax. It's time to
formally introduce our new reli-
gious ministries
team, so please join in
at our open house this
Saturday from 11 a.m.
- 2 p.m. at the NAS
Jacksonville Chapel
Center. We look for-
ward to meeting you
and sharing some fun,
fellowship and bless-
ings.
Let me first introduce
Chaplain (Lt.) Buster
Williams, who comes ..'-
to us with a wealth of
military and pastoral
experience. He served
three years enlisted and
three more as an Army
officer before going into
full time Christian min-
istry by serving a local Comman
church and Christian (Lt. Cmdr.)
school for seven years.
Chaplain (Lt.) Tom Bingol's background
includes five years as a hospital corps-
man and over 15 years of pastoral ministry
experience.
In addition, we have our Contract Priest,
Monsignor Lamonde, who recently retired
with over 30 years of faithful service as a
Navy chaplain.
Finally, I am proud to have served as
an enlisted U.S. Army soldier, as well as
serving over 20 years experience as a Navy
d
Ge
chaplain with the Marine Corps, Coast
Guard and Navy.
We are also blessed to have two religious
program specialists, RP2 Celeste Shield
and RP2 Harriet Seats, who have worked
tirelessly the past two
years to support chap-
lains and maintain a
sense of stability and
a availability for more
than 27,000 military,
GS, contract workers
and their families.
All of your chaplains
have checked in within
the past five months,
and during this time
we were tremendously
S b blessed by the obvious
camaraderie and team-
work that we have wit-
nessed throughout the
commands at NAS Jax.
Your religious minis-
tries team is dedicated
to continuous support
Chaplain and ministry to every-
erald Felder body on board NAS
Jax. You will see us out
and about greeting, ministering, and being
available to you through a "ministry of
presence.
Of course, we are always available to
assist our Sailors, civilians, and family
members in any way that you think might
be helpful.
We are both proud and blessed to serve
the greatest Naval Air Station in America.
God bless you and we hope to see you
Sunday.

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

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 them-
selves, develop a healthier sense of person-
al responsibility, and gain a new perspec-
tive on life and relationships.
A prerequisite is the willingness to truth-
fully look at one's life and the courage to
make decisions as to how that life will
progress. Be ready to spend a weekend
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.

FEMA warns Floridians to maintain hurricane prep
From Staff
With many Floridians still dealing with
the aftermath of Tropical Storm Fay,
state and federal emergency manage-
ment officials urge residents to re-stock their
emergency kits and review their disaster plans.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)and Florida's emergency
response team urge residents to be prepared
and ready to evacuate if ordered to do so.
Review your family disaster plan.
* Where will you go in an evacuation? Will you stay with
family or friends, go to a motel or shelter? Don't forget
about pets. Many shelters will not permit them, so know
in advance where pet-friendly shelters are located.
Know your evacuation routes, stay current
with traffic reports, and:
* Go over your family's communication plan. Have a
friend or relative in another state or city serve as a point
of contact in case family members are separated.
Check or restock your portable disaster kit
in case of evacuation. It should include:
* At least a three-day supply of food and bottled water
for each family member
* A manual can opener
* Battery-powered radio and flashlights with extra
batteries
* First aid kit with family members' medications
* Hygiene and personal care items
* Emergency contact list and phone numbers
* Pet supplies
* Copies of important papers, including insurance
policies and bank account information
* Emergency cash and credit card in the case of an
evacuation with little notice
Stay informed about threatening storms,
know the risks and be prepared to evacuate.
* If evacuation seems likely or a storm likely, reinforce
windows and garage doors against strong winds
* Be ready to move if you are instructed to leave your
home for an evacuation
* If you do not have a car, plan now for alternative
means of transportation
* Remember, do not drive through deep water that may
contain submerged hazards
FEMA coordinates the federal government's
role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating
the effects of, responding to, and recovering
from all domestic disasters, whether natural
or man-made, including acts of terror.

they leave black footmarks on your
tan couch. Your husband was right
about a tan couch and children being
a bad combination. Black footmarks
on the tan couch are the least of your
concern when you learn that the
upstairs shower leaks water like a
fire hose.
It makes sense that the shower
floods the upstairs when you consider
that the hose to the washing machine
floods the basement. In another few
months, the whole house will freeze
and it can be your own personal igloo.
The moving company has a lan-
guage all its own. The toy helicopter
and model airplane that belong in
the attic were naturally found in a
box marked "chopper and plain from
attic." There is too much junk marked
"attic" for a house that has no attic.
Going to meet your children's new
teachers and principal in clothes
you've rummaged from the bottom
of a box is fun, in the same way that
those dreams about going to school
and taking your SATs naked is "fun."
At some point, Nilla wafers and
peanut butter for dinner stops being a
treat. Eventually, your family wants
a "real" dinner. After all those notes
you left for the movers ("Roasting
pan stays with the oven," "Nothing in
this closet to be packed," and "Please
leave cable box and remote"), you for-
got to leave one that read, "Please

New home offers new lessons in moving
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
This is the first column I've
written in the Northern com-
fort of my new home in Bangor,
Maine. "My new home in Bangor,
Maine." I'm still getting used to that.
At the same time, my boys are run-
ning around outside in fleece sweat-
shirts and jeans -because it is a chilly
79-degrees.
Besides the "cold" and the fact
that I caught a virus I would say
that our move is going about as well
as can be expected. Certainly, many
military families have had it worse.
For you civilians out there, imagine
your worst moving nightmare ever,
and then imagine doing it alone.
On the bright side, my husband is
not on deployment. I've had the bene-
fit of his help, plus that of my parents.
In that respect, this move has been a
breeze (forgetting that we moved from
Florida to Maine just before the cold-
est part of the year and one week
before my children start school). Yet
still, I've learned more than I ever
cared to know from this experience.
The moving company's idea of "good
china" and your idea of "good china"
varies greatly.
The movers are likely to put your
"good china" in a box with extension
cords.
When you let your children play
outside barefoot (because their ath-
letic shoes are buried beneath boxes),
you only have yourself to blame when

tended an indoc last week and the

d not have any debt. Well that may

one else told me there is "good debt"
bad debt." What's that all about?
yMan Sez:
t of the time, debt is bad. However,
thing increases in value over time,
ebt may be okay. For example, if
uy a $100,000 house, which may
at 7 percent per year, you could

and the fact that your mortgage

don't steal our new flat screen televi-
sion." It's a wonderful feeling to find
the remote control to your "lost" flat
screen television and know that at
least the movers can't change chan-
nels without getting off the sofa.
When the movers label a box "Last
Minute Items," you probably don't
want to open it unless you've had a
lot of beer first -because it's stuff you
put on the curb for the trash and your
husband "rescued" at the last minute.
Yes, your husband really does plan
to use that electric teeth-cleaning
system, the one you've been carting
unopened from house to house for the
past 10 years.
It really does get cold in Maine.
Even in summer, when the weather
is a "balmy" 79 degrees, the hardware
stores in Bangor are stocked with
heating equipment. In Florida, they
load the aisles with flashlights, bat-
teries, bottled water and other hurri-
cane supplies.
Judging by the intensity of the heat-
ing advertisements and the quanti-
ty of pellet stoves at Home Depot,
however, a bad winter in Maine just
might be as scary as a hurricane in
Florida. There is a reason why not
many homes in Maine have air con-
ditioning. The local Home Depot's
decision to give military families a 10
percent discount earns them major
kudos.
items that increase in value or improve
your cash flow in the near future.
Everything else is a losing proposition.
If you cannot afford to pay cash for items
that depreciate, wait until you can!
How bad can debt be? Let's say you
have a credit card with a $5,000 balance
and you stop using the card and start pay-
ing the bill that comes in each month.
If you only pay the minimum, it will
take you 12.5 years to pay it off and it will
cost you almost $3,000 in interest. That's
$3,000 down the drain.
One tip for getting out of debt is to dou-
ble your payment. If you doubled your
$200 payment to $400, you would be out

Navigating the maze of military life
The benefits of military 'spousedom'
By Beth Wilson
Special Contributor
I often joke that my mar-
riage is part-time and
long-distance due to the
deployment/workups that
take my husband away.
Knowing your resources,
benefits and how to utilize
them can take you from
surviving military life to
thriving so let's take a
closer look.
Military One Source
(www.militaryonesource.
com or 800-342-9647) is
an assistance service pro-
vided free of charge to ser-
vice members and their
families. Available 24/7,
Military One Source (MOS)
can provide information on
everything from deploy-
ment readiness, child care
(including referrals in your
area), education and schol-
arship information and
much more. You will find
the website to be a great
resource of information and
their client support person-
Though he might be abrasive and
opportunistic, ardent capitalist Jack
Donaghy from the hit NBC sit-comn
30 Rock offers some pretty sound advice.
"Buy real estate-that's the best invest-
ment there is," instructs Donaghy. And
he's absolutely right.
There are reasons why real estate is the
way to go. Mostly, it's considered a solid
investment. Owning a home is not only
practical for one, it gives you somewhere
to live but it also gives you an opportu-
nity to build equity and personal assets.
And in 2008, the current housing market is
better for buyers, not sellers. Home values
are depreciating, causing a crisis for hom-
eowners looking to sell, and creating excel-
lent opportunities for those interested in
purchasing, with prices lower than usual
in many parts of the country.
If you're considering buying a home,
you know that it is a serious decision and
requires lots of thinking. Here are some
tips to make buying your first home a
smooth process.
How am I going to pay for it?
Most likely, you're going to apply for
a mortgage, so a clean credit history is
important. To prevent any surprises when
applying for a mortgage, get a copy of your
credit history and review it for any red
flags or discrepancies. And make sure you
select the type of mortgage that is best for
you. As folks who have fallen prey to the
lure of the adjustable-rate mortgage have
learned recently, housing market fluctua-
tions can ruin a person's ability to pay
their mortgage. Choosing a mortgage with
a fixed rate and fixed number of years, that
includes flexibility to pay off the loan more
quickly, is the safest choice. Consult a
trusted financial advisor, do your research,
and you'll feel much more confident in your
choices.
SPOUSE'S PERSPECTIVE
nel are both friendly and
knowledgeable.
Navy Legal Services
Office (NLSO) is another
resource and benefit. NLSO
can review contracts and
leases (let them review
any and all before signing),
prepare advance directives
and powers of attorney
and more. Each base has a
NLSO office, so stop by to
pick up a brochure of their
services. It can help you
avoid legal entanglements.
Veterinarian services
are also available on most
installations for our 'furry
children.' Congress man-
dated a $2 user fee, and
services and medications
are provided at cost. The
breadth of services can vary
from base to base so check
your local office.
Let me stop here to men-
tion your dependent ID.
Beth Wilson
Your dependent ID card is
your 'ticket' to access your
benefits. You will need to
present it at the movie the-
ater, the medical clinic,
commissary and exchange.
Your card lists your social
security number and your
date of birth. If lost or sto-
len you are vulnerable to
identity theft. Your service
member's SSN is also listed
on that card. Please safe-
guard this card at all times.
CREDO or the Chaplain's
Religious Enrichment
Development Operation,
provides wonderful oppor-
tunities for personal growth
and enrichment, retreats
and seminars. These ser-
vices are provided free to
you and your service mem-
ber. Retreats include food,
lodging and materials and
often include transporta-
tion. They are held at lodg-
es, hotels and resorts in
the area. May I personally
recommend the Marriage
Retreat after deployment -
it's a great way to reconnect
with your service member.
Each base provides coun-
seling services through
Counseling, Advocacy and
Prevention Services (CAPS)
or the Family Advocacy
Program (FAP). These ser-
Consider the location.
Visit the neighborhood you're consider-
ing at different times of the day to get a
better sense of the neighbors, the traffic,
the safety, the activity level, you name it.
Check out the quality of the school district
- if you're planning to use the public school
system, the quality of the school district
could make or break the housing choice for
you. And most importantly, ask yourself -
how long am I going to live here? If you're
on active duty and can't commit to staying
in one place for at least several years, you
may want to consider just renting.
Do your homework.
The Internet offers unprecedented
access to listings and profiles, but when
you're new to the home-buying process,
it's often worth the money to use a pro-
fessional agent. Get pre-approved from
your mortgage lender ahead of time it
enables you to make a serious offer when
the time comes. Be sure to research the
recent (within the last 12 months) selling
prices of similar homes in the neighbor-
hood. If most homes are at least 5 percent
less than the house you're considering,
bid about 10 percent lower than what the
seller is asking.

Giving at-risk youths a hand up
By Clark Pierce F I -
Editor l I
Cleveland Arms Apartments is a HUD-assisted
rental community located in a tough, northwest
Jacksonville neighborhood where guns, drugs and
unemployment are a way of life. Residents rightfully
complain about health and safety conditions in this com-
munity that has witnessed three homicides so far in
2008.
Just when it seems almost impossible to make a dif-
ference in the lives of these at-risk youth along comes
David Robinson, his wife, Felecia, and their children
Jalisa, David, Devin and Dyson.
Robinson, a chief culinary specialist at NAS Jax Flight
Line Caf6 is a leader of the Greater Refuge Temple out-
reach ministry.
In partnership with Metro Kids Konnection, a non-
profit social services organization at Cleveland Arms,
Robinson's ministry gave away more than 180 backpacks
filled with school supplies donated by the NAS Jax Supply
Department.
"We also recruited volunteer hair stylists for the girls
and barbers for the boys to ensure they looked their best
on the first day of school," said Robinson, who has men-
tored children at Cleveland Arms Apartments for more
than two years. "The lawbreakers get most of the atten-
tion in this part of town. But when you talk with the peo-
ple, they just need guidance in their lives the majority
are single mothers with numerous kids."
Robinson and his family go to Cleveland Arms to throw
lifelines. "I'm proud that my wife and children travel with
me to share the passion to develop that entire apartment
complex. I began mentoring one child and through him I
also saw a need for others out there. After speaking with

Got your weather radio ready?
All Hazards Weather Radio is a service of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). As
the "Voice of the National Weather Service," it provides
continuous broadcasts from your local National Weather
Service office. Weather messages are generally repeated
every five to 10 minutes and are routinely updated every
one to three hours or more frequently for rapidly chang-
ing weather conditions.
NOAA Weather Radio transmitters broadcast on one
of seven VHF frequencies from 162.400 MHz to 162.550
MHz. The broadcasts cannot be heard on a simple AM/FM
radio receiver. However, there are many receiver options,
ranging from battery powered handheld units that just
pick up Weather Radio -- to desktop and console models
that receive Weather Radio in addition to other broad-
casts.
The National Weather Service neither manufactures nor
sells receivers. Receivers can be purchased at many retail
outlets, including electronics, sporting goods and marine
accessory stores as well as via the Internet from online
retailers.
2008 Hurricane Names
There is a pre-approved list of names for tropical storms
and hurricanes created by the National Hurricane Center
since 1953. Originally, the list consisted of only female
names. However, since 1979, the list alternates between
male and female. The list contain names that begin from
A to W, but exclude names that begin with a "Q" or "U."
Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gustav,
Hanna, Ike, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, Omar,

my pastor, Bishop Gentle Groover at Greater Refuge
Temple, he, too, saw the passion and the need to develop
the lives of the tenants," said Robinson.
Using tools from the Temple's outreach ministry,
Robinson goes from apartment to apartment to touch the
lives of all of the elderly, middle-aged and young people.
"We have prayer walks in the courtyards and special
events like the backpack give-away," said Robinson. "Next,
we're looking to begin self-improvement workshops. I sin-
cerely believe we're breaking up the hard ground in their
lives. It's easy to stand on the outside and judge how much

someone should know and not have any clue about what
hurdles were on their life's path," explained Robinson.
"People have to step forward and get involved if they
want to see a positive change. If not, prepare yourself to
see the news and be disgusted. I'm one of those people who
is determined not to let another child in that neighborhood
be deprived of a fair chance at a decent life. If you feel the
same, I welcome your ideas and manpower to a make a
difference at Cleveland Arms."

VP-16 joins American-Japanese ASW exercise near Okinawa
By Lt. Jonathan Whelan
PAO
The VP-16 "War Eagles"
recently participated in an
anti-submarine warfare
(ASW) exercise with Japanese
Maritime Self Defense Force
(JMSDF) P-3 squadron VP-5. The
interoperability exercise began
on Kadena Air Base in Okinawa
with a formal welcoming of
JMSDF VP-5, based at nearby
Naha, Okinawa.
After showing the Japanese
guests around the hangar and tac-
tical support center, War Eagles
Combat Air Crew SIX (CAC-6)
provided a briefing where they
discussed safety of flight and tac-
tical procedures for the combined
ASW training.
After the briefing, some VP-16
crew flew on the Japanese P-3,
and likewise, some Japanese VP-
5 crew flew with CAC-6 aircraft.
Once on station, the two crews
conducted four hours of coordi-
nated ASW training using an
Expendable Mobile ASW Training

VP-16 Combat Air Crew Six (CAC-6) and Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force P-3 crew performed an interoper-
ability exercise from Kadena Air Base Okinawa in early August. CAC-6 personnel pictured are (from left, kneel-
ing) AW1 Carman, Lt. Ford, Lt.j.g. Johnson, Lt. Montgomery; (from left, standing) AW2 Martin, AW1 Henson, Lt.
Doran, Lt. McCullough, AW2 Beidelman and AT2 Blasingame.
Target (EMATT). There were only
minor complications with com-
munication due to the language
barrier. The extensive use of mul-
tiple communication aids, such
as Link-11 Data Link, in addition
to previously established code
words or phrases, resolved any
set backs.
The capstone of the training
was simulated torpedo attacks
on the target by both aircraft.
After the flight, the crews met at
the Japanese squadron's hangar
in Naha to debrief and discuss
details of the flight in order to
improve future combined exer-
cises.
When discussing the exer-
cise, aircrew from both coun-
tries agreed that the training
flight was a success, and valu-
able to both forces' endeavors for
increased interoperability
The tactical coordinator for
CAC-6, Lt. Dan Montgomery
commented, "Bringing together
maritime patrol forces from two
navies to successfully complete
a coordinated ASW mission is a
difficult task. The extra pleasure
was working with professionals at
Japanese Maritime Self Defense
Force made it a very meaningful
exercise."
National cemetery
breaks ground Sept.
From Staff
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) announced the Jacksonville
VA National Cemetery ground-
breaking ceremony will take place Sept.
21 at 2 p.m.
Cemetery Director Arleen Vincenty said
Navy Band Southeast will perform for local
veterans, city and state officials, and digni-
taries from Washington D.C. The public
is invited to attend the ceremony located
about five miles from 1-295 at 4083 Lannie
Road.
The cemetery will serve 189,000 veterans
in the northeastern Florida and southeast-
ern Georgia region. Burials are anticipated
to begin January 2009.
Vincenty explained, "The initial Phase 1-
A construction effort now underway focus-
es on a 15-acre early burial area with tem-
porary facilities. When Phase 1-B is com-
pleted, the 52-acre Phase 1 development
will provide 7,500 full casket gravesites,
including 7,200 pre-placed crypts, 5,000 in-
ground cremation sites and 4,500 colum-
barium niches for cremated remains."
She said Phase 1 infrastructure con-
struction consists of roadways, an entrance
area, an administration and public infor-
mation center, a maintenance complex, a
Pru o aev
We'e t erfo ths wh nedu ms.I
flag assembly area, a memorial walkway,
committal service shelters, as well as inter-
ment areas. Other improvements include
utilities, grading, drainage, fencing, land-
scaping, and irrigation system.
The VA awarded the $1.25 million mas-
ter plan design contract to England, Thims
& Miller of Jacksonville. Initial construc-
tion 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 cemetery. Other burial benefits
for eligible veterans include a burial flag,
a Presidential Memorial Certificate, and a
government headstone or marker.
In the midst of the largest cemetery
expansion since the Civil War, the VA
operates 125 national cemeteries in 39
states and Puerto Rico. More than 3.4 mil-
lion Americans, including veterans of every
war and conflict -- from the Revolutionary
War to the Global War on Terror -- are
buried in VA national cemeteries.
Information on VA burial benefits can be
obtained from the Internet at http://www.
cem.va.gov or by calling VA regional offices
at 1-800-827-1000.

MILITARY
BAGGAGE NOTES
By Stacy Binderim
PSD Jacksonville
Issue: Commercial airlines recently modified their
"excess accompanied baggage" policy for military
members traveling on official business.
Military members are required to show military ID to
check up to three bags at no charge.
Weight allowance and size restric-
tions vary by airline. Please note
that some carriers have included
dependents and other carriers never
had a third-bag fee policy for excess
accompanied baggage.
Impact: Bags that exceed the
weight and size restriction may also
be subject to additional charges.
Suggested Action:
1. Military services should ensure that members have
excess accompanied baggage" authorized on travel orders
in accordance with the service's excess baggage guidance.
2. Military members who do not have a travel charge
card or personal charge card are strongly advised to
request a cash advance if such charges are anticipated.
3. Travelers should review their airline's Web site to
ensure compliance with weight and size restrictions.
Nominations now being accepted
for military spouse honor
From Military Spouse Magazine
Military Spouse magazine (1ISIM1) is accepting
nominations for its 2009 Military Spouse of the
Year (MSOY) award, sponsored by USAA. The
MSOY honoree represents the millions of military spous-
es who are unsung heroes maintaining the home front,
giving back selflessly to their communities and providing
support to our nation's troops. Often, these spouses also
have full-time jobs and raise families.
In recognition of their countless contributions, MSM
will honor one exemplary military spouse from each ser-
vice branch and also select one overall winner. The 2009
MSOY will be announced and honored nationally in the
June issue of Military Spouse magazine and at the second
annual MSOY awards ceremony to be held during the
week of May 4, 2009 in Washington, DC, in conjunction
with National Military Spouse Appreciation Week. The
winner will make public appearances, write a monthly
column to appear in Military Spouse magazine, and main-
tain a blog during his/her reign, which will last through
May 2010.
MSM and its readers will select the winner based on
his/her inspirational representation of all military spous-
es. Nominees must be the spouse of a current member of
the U.S. armed forces. Criteria for selecting the recipient
include: impact on community change, volunteerism, per-
sonal sacrifice, education and career pursuits and other
military spouse-related efforts.
Submit a nomination form online at www.msoy.mil-
spouse.com by Oct. 8. Judges will review all submissions
and select ten finalists from each military service branch,
after which readers will select one branch winner. Judges
will be selected from MSM's "Who's Who of Military
Spouses," a list of influential military spouses.

basics of naval aviation
including courses such as

and navigation principles.
After completing API, stu-
dent NFOs then report for
primary training at VT-
10 or VT-4, also at NAS
Pensacola. Here they put
their classroom learning to
the test and undergo initial
airborne flight training in
the T-6A Texan II aircraft.
Upon completion of pri-
mary flight training at NAS
Pensacola, officers who are
selected for the P-3C pipe-

VS-32
'Maulers' legacy, Part Two
By Cmdr. Doug Siegfried, USN (Ret.)
After more than 58 years of faithful and devoted service,
the VS-32 "Maulers" will disestablish Sept. 25 at NAS
Jacksonville. Here is the final part of their legacy.
During the 21 years VS-32 flew the S2F "Stoof,"
the squadron conducted operations and deploy-
ments in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Norwegian Sea
and Mediterranean keeping tabs on Allied and Soviet
submarines, surface combatants and merchant shipping.
The "Maulers" 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 transition to the twin
turbo-fan-powered Lockheed S-3A Viking. The sound of its
engines were often compared to that of a vacuum cleaner,
hence its nickname, "The Hoover." In 1976, the Maulers
joined Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1), a partnership that
would endure for 32 years.
The squadron's inaugural Viking deployment was to
the North Atlantic on board John F. Kennedy (CV-67)
in January 1977. The Maulers followed this up with
four more deployments aboard CV-67; along with shake-
down Caribbean operations with Dwight D. Eisenhower
(CVN-69) and Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71); and 12 cruis-
es on America (CV-66). VS-32 made good use of their
S-3A during ASW and surveillance operations in the
Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean, Indian Ocean and
Arabian Gulf participating in NATO and allied exer-
cises, the 1980 Iran/Afghanistan crisis, 1982-83 and 1989
Lebanon crisis.
In November 1989, the Maulers began their transition
to the S-3B, attaining operational status in fall 1990 when
the CVW-1/America team shipped out on short notice for
the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf to support Operation
Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Desert Storm served as a
proving ground for the new S-3B system with the Maulers
exploiting the aircraft's capabilities to the fullest. In addi-
tion to flying electronic surveillance over Northern Kuwait
and Saudi Arabia, VS-32 provided surveillance support
and "passed some gas" to carrier strike assets.
The S-3B of Lt. Cmdr. Bruce "Baja" Bole and his crew of
Lt. Curt "Zippo" Lyter, Lt. Geof"EF" Hutton and AW1(AC)
Raymond McCracken made history when they sank a high
speed Iraqi gunboat with one 500-pound bomb.
Following Desert Storm, the Maulers and their Vikings
flew from America in the Mediterranean, North Atlantic,
Persian Gulf and Adriatic Sea. VS-32 was the first S-
3B squadron to participate in overland missions dur-
ing U.N. Operations Deny Flight and Sharp Guard in
Bosnia-Herzegovina; Restore Hope in Somalia; Support
Democracy and Able Manner off the coast of Haiti; and
Decisive Edge over the former republic of Yugoslavia. In

An S-3B Viking of VS-32 makes an arrested landing on the
flight deck of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS
Enterprise (CVN 65) in August 2006. Enterprise and Carrier
Air Wing One (CVW-1) were deployed in support of air
operations in Iraqi and Afghanistan.
April 1993, the Maulers were redesignated a Sea Control
Squadron, to better reflect its multi-mission role.
In 1997, VS-32 completed its BRAC-directed homeport
change to NAS Jacksonville. After the decommissioning
of America in 1996, CVW-1 was reassigned to George
Washington (CVN-73), for four deployments through April
1998 to the Atlantic, Med and Persian Gulf with aircraft
equipped with the AGM-65F Maverick missile system.
In November 1998, VS-32 deployed with CVW-1 for the
Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) shakedown cruise, followed by
two deployments in 1999 to the Atlantic, Mediterranean
and Persian Gulf.
In 2000 CVW- 1 shifted operations to Theodore Roosevelt
and the Maulers upgraded their S-3Bs, conducting a suc-
cessful SinkEx with Maverick missiles in Puerto Rico.
Eight days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, the Maulers deployed on Theodore Roosevelt to
the North Arabian Sea for overland tanking and surface
surveillance in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in
Afghanistan. The squadron flew more than 1,900 sorties
and 4,000 flight hours. The Theodore Roosevelt/CVW-1
team set a record for the most consecutive days at sea
without a port visit -159.
In March 2002, the squadron's Vikings upgraded to a
Maverick Plus system and digital flight data computers.
In 2003, a Maulers S-3B launched a Standoff Land Attack
Missile Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) at the Point Mugu
test range. The squadron deployed on Enterprise (CVN-
65) for familiar waters of the Mediterranean, Arabian Sea
and Persian Gulf in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom
and Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. After a quick
turn-around, VS-32 deployed with Enterprise for Summer
US Navy photo
In 2003, a VS-32 Viking successfully launched a Standoff Land
Attack Missile Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) at the Naval Air
Weapons Station test range in Point Mugu, Calif.
Pulse in support of numerous multinational exercises.
In 2006, the CVW-1/CVN-65 team weighed anchor for
a round-the-world cruise that included air support for
Iraqi and Afghanistan operations. During cruise, the now
"world famous" Maulers were the first S-3B squadron to
test the Low Altitude Navigational and Targeting Infrared
for Night pod.
Faced with the impending Viking disestablishment, the
Maulers' final deployment took place July to December
2007 on Enterprise. The squadron provided non-tradition-
al intelligence and reconnaissance for the NATO forces on
the ground in southeastern Iraq.
The Navy S-3B Sundown Plan calls for the disestab-
lishment of Viking squadrons as the number of opera-
tional carrier-based squadrons flying the F/A-18E/F Super
Hornet increases. The Super Hornet will assume the
aerial tanking role of the S-3.
The Maulers of VS-32 are recognized for their years of
accomplishment in the VS community. VS-32 counts 10
ComNavAirLant Battle "E" awards; six Captain Arnold J.
Isbell trophies for excellence in ASW; six Admiral Jimmy
Thach awards for meritorious achievement by an ASW
squadron; and 15 CNO Safety "S" awards. The squad-
ron also received two Lockheed-Martin Golden Wrench
awards for maintenance excellence in 1986 and 1994;
the 1997 ComNavAirLant Silver Anchor award for reten-
tion; and the Arleigh Burke award in 1999 for the most
improved squadron.

From FEMA
Duval County is now eli-
gible for federal disaster
assistance to help indi-
viduals and households handle
damage from Tropical Storm Fay
and continued flooding, Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) officials announced Aug.
21.
Duval County was added to
the initial major declaration for
Individual Assistance announced
by President George W. Bush on
Aug. 18.
Individual Assistance can
include grants to help pay for
temporary housing, home repairs
and other serious disaster-related
expenses not met by insurance or
other assistance programs.
Low-interest loans from the U.S.

ter.
Public Assistance grants are
awarded to help pay for emergen-
cy protective measures such as
police overtime, debris clearance
to open vital roads and rights-of-
way, removal of threats to pub-
DISASTER NEWS
lic safety and permanent repairs
to roads, public buildings, utili-
ties and parks. Permanent work
involves restoring infrastructure
to its pre-disaster design. This
could range from minor repairs to
total replacement.
FEMA officials said the assis-
tance was approved based on a
review of damage data gathered
by federal and state disaster
recovery officials.
Affected residents and business
owners in the added counties may
apply for assistance immediately
by calling the registration num-
ber at 800-621-FEMA (3362) from

able to help speed up the applica-
tion process:
Current phone number;
Address at the time of the
disaster and the address where
they are now staying;
Social Security number, if

A general list of damages and
losses they suffered;
If insured, their insurance
policy number, or the agent's and
company name.
FEMA coordinates the fed-
eral government's role in pre-
paring for, preventing, mitigat-
ing the effects of, responding to,
and recovering from all domes-
tic disasters, whether natural or
man-made, including acts of ter-
ror.

About the
S-3 Viking
From Staff
n 1964, the Navy announced a requirement for a
new carrier-based antisubmarine warfare aircraft to
replace the aging Grumman S-2 Tracker. The new
aircraft was to have twice the speed, range and altitude
capability.
Lockheed designed the S-3A Viking for long-range, anti-
submarine warfare (ASW) against the Soviet threat. When
it was introduced to the fleet in 1974, the Viking had a crew
of four consisting of a Pilot, Copilot Tactical Coordinator
(COTAC), acoustic Sensor Station Operator (SENSO), and
Tactical Coordinator (TACCO). All crewmembers were
seated on ejection seats, and the pilot's controls included a
control stick in place of the traditional wheel.
The S-3B version is a modified S-3A with increased ASW
and new anti-surface warfare capabilities from improved
mission avionics and armament systems. Between 1987
and 1991, all east coast S-3A Vikings were modified by a
contractor field team at NAS Cecil Field.
The improved S-3B Viking incorporated improved tech-
nology for increased radar detection range and classifica-
tion, advanced acoustic processing, and support measures,
and has Harpoon missile capability. The S-3B is manned
and operated by an aircrew of three, consisting of a pilot,
COTAC, and TACCO. The SENSO position was deleted
along with associated ASW equipment.
During Operation Desert Storm, the versatility of the S-
3B enabled it to serve a variety of roles. It flew hundreds of
sea surveillance missions to enforce the economic blockade
of Iraq and secure the seas surrounding the battle groups.
Mine detection was an especially critical mission in the
Persian Gulf. The S-3B also electronically monitored active
missile sites prior to air strikes.
Perhaps the most important contribution of the S-3B was
its airborne tanking capability. In this role, it employed a
hose-and-drogue refueling system that assured U.S. air-
craft reached their targets. In recognition of its broad appli-
cations, the designation of the S-3B Viking squadrons was
changed from Air Antisubmarine Squadron to Sea Control
Squadron.

TRICARE supports storm-affected beneficiaries
From Staff
The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season
has proved to be an active one, but
TRICARE beneficiaries can rest
assured their healthcare needs are being
met. In the aftermath of Tropical Storms
Fay and Hanna, plus, Hurricanes Gustav
and Ike, TRICARE is assisting over
500,000 beneficiaries in affected areas.
TRICARE partnered with Humana
Military Healthcare Services (HMHS) and
military treatment facilities in the South
region to prepare for the storms and to
respond after the storms.
In the first wide-reaching request
since Hurricane Katrina, requirements
for referrals from primary care managers
(PCMs) have been waived for TRICARE
beneficiaries in designated areas impact-
ed by Gustav. Waivers of Primary Care
Manager (PCM) referrals allow bene-
ficiaries to seek medical care from any
TRICARE-authorized provider without a
referral from a PCM during the waiver
period. The waiver is currently sched-
uled to be in effect through Sept. 12.
Early prescription refills for beneficia-
ries impacted by the hurricane have also
been authorized for a six-week period.
This proactive measure enables TRICARE
beneficiaries to obtain critical medication
refills before evacuation, after the storm
passes, or in cases of extended relocation.
TRICARE officials remind beneficiaries
that early refills are only authorized for
Comedy Zone
prescriptions that were prescribed with
refills, and that have refills remaining.
Affected beneficiaries may take their pre-
scription bottle to any TRICARE retail net-
work pharmacy. If possible, those without
their prescription bottle should visit the
pharmacy where the prescription was filled.
Beneficiaries can request assistance at
a different pharmacy if the pharmacy
agrees. If a retail chain is used, beneficia-
ries should consider using another store in
that chain to obtain their medication. If a
beneficiary's PCM is available, he or she
may call in a new prescription to any net-
work pharmacy in the area. For questions
or to find the nearest network pharmacy
call Express Scripts at 1-866-363-8779.
TRICARE beneficiaries impacted by
storms or flooding may also use their one-
time-per-year override. TRICARE pays
for the beneficiary's additional refill when
this override is used, but beneficiaries are
responsible for applicable copayments.
Additional provisions may be authorized
if this benefit has already been used.
TRICARE officials assure beneficiaries and
families affected by natural disasters that
their health care benefits will be main-
tained, and that service and support will
continue. Beneficiaries can find informa-
tion to help them prepare before natural
disasters, and to seek help after natural
disasters through the storm alert page
linked from the red icon at the top of the
front page of http://www.tricare.mil, the
announcements section.

Forces, National Defense University, Fort
McNair, Washington, D.C.
Most recently, Sandie served as the
HS-11 "Dragonslayers" executive officer.
After the squadron's 2007 deployment to
the Persian Gulf, HS-11 was awarded the
Battle "E" for sustained superior perfor-
mance in an operational environment.
Sandie graduated from the United States
Naval Academy in 1990. He attended
flight school in Corpus Christi, Texas and
Pensacola. Receiving his naval aviator
wings in 1992, he reported to HS-10, the
SH-60F/HH-60H fleet replacement squad-
ron.
Joining the "Indians" of HS-6 in 1993,
Sandie made two deployments with the
USS Abraham Lincoln Battle Group in
support of Operations Restore Hope
(Somalia) and Southern Watch (Arabian
Gulf). His division officer jobs included
public affairs, line division, ASW, tactics,
material control, and NATOPS.
In 1996, he rotated to shore duty with
Commander, Helicopter Anti-submarine
Wing, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Sandie served as
Cmdr. Malachy Sandie
training officer and as an instructor pilot
at HS-10. He was also a plank owner for
the HS Weapons School.
In 1998, he returned to sea duty with
Commander, Carrier Group 5, USS Kitty
Hawk, homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. He
participated in an emergent deployment
to the Persian Gulf and numerous com-
bined exercises. Sandie's duties included
air USW officer, helicopter element coordi-
nator, battle group airlift coordinator and
flag watch officer.
After a brief refresher course at HS-10,
Cmdr. Mike Michel
Sandie reported to the "Black Knights"
of HS-4 in July 2001, where he served as
administrative and maintenance depart-
ment heads. He participated in USS
Abraham Lincoln's historic nine-and-one-
half-month cruise in support of Operations
Southern Watch and Iraqi Freedom.
Sandie was maintenance officer when HS-
4 was awarded the Sikorsky Excellence in

Suggestions for healthy choices for children
By Maj. Karen Fauber, dietitian
Defense Commissary Agency
We all want the best for our chil-
dren; yet we find it challenging
at times to get healthy, satisfy-
ing meals on the table. Work, school and
all the many day-to-day activities often
have us on the go.
If you find yourself rushing home after
work and trying to decide what to make
for dinner at the last minute, you are not
alone. Your commissary is working with
you to help you make choices that are good
for you and your family. If you are con-
cerned about your children's health, espe-
cially with the growing trend of overweight
and obesity today, you're not alone. The
Defense Commissary Agency (DeCa) rec-
ognizes that we need to teach our children
the importance of healthy eating and grow-
ing up physically active.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has
a section designed especially designed for
children (www.mypyramid.gov). There is
an interactive computer game where kids
can reach Planet Power by fueling their
rocket with food and physical activity. In
the game, there are "fuel" tanks for each
food group to help students keep track
of how their choices fit into MyPyramid.
After viewing the Website with your kids,
let them help plan meals and snacks for
a few days. This can be a fun learning
experience for the whole family. To help
you get started, here are a few ideas from
MyPyramid:
Make half your grains whole. Choose
whole-grain foods, such as whole-wheat
bread, oatmeal, brown rice and low-fat
popcorn, more often.
Vary your veggies. Go dark green and
orange with your vegetables-eat spinach,
broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Focus on fruits. Eat them at meals and
at snack time, too. Choose fresh, frozen,
canned or dried, and go easy on the fruit
juice.
Get your calcium-rich foods. To build
strong bones serve low-fat and fat-free
milk and other milk products several times
a day.
Go lean with protein. Eat lean or low-
fat meat, chicken, turkey and fish. Also,
change your tune with more dry beans
and peas. Add chickpeas, nuts or seeds to
a salad; pinto beans to a burrito; or kidney
beans to soup.
Change your oil. It's best to get yours
from fish, nuts and liquid oils such as corn,
soybean, canola and olive.
Don't sugarcoat it. Choose foods and
beverages that do not have sugar and
caloric sweeteners as one of the first ingre-
dients. Added sugars contribute calories
with few nutrients.
Encourage your children to apply what
they have learned whenever you go shop-
ping at the commissary.

Teams ready for any crisis
Navy installations
provide support
in times of need
By MC2(AW/SW)
Marcel Barbeau
Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs
On Navy installations
around the world, Emer-
gency Family Assistance
Centers offer numerous resourc-
es for Navy personnel and their
families during times of crisis,
including the annual hurricane
season.
"The Emergency Family
Assistance Center, which is
run by the Fleet and Family
Support Center, is a one-stop
shop for Navy personnel and
their families," said Carol Lucius,
work-family life coordinator
for Commander, Navy Region
Southeast (CNRSE). "We had
teams ready to go in [response] of
Hurricane Gustav."
Each team has case managers
who can help solve problems, and
includes housing and legal person-
nel, chaplains and Morale, Welfare
and Recreation employees.
"We can bring the American
Red Cross into the disaster area,
as well as Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society," said Lucius. "It
just really depends on the disas-
ter and what the needs are for
each situation."
The team begins its work even
before a storm hits. Even though
Hurricane Gustav turned out to
be a bad storm, "we had a team
ready to deploy, and we were just
waiting for the word saying we
were needed," said Lucius.
According to Lucius, one group
the team looks to help early is the
Individual Augmentees' families.
"Since the service member is
deployed overseas, we want to
ensure that those families' needs
are met before disaster strikes.
We help those families put a good
disaster plan in place."
In addition to the emergency
centers, a key component to pro-
viding assistance is the Navy
Family Accountability and
Assessment System (NFAAS),
which is used to muster personnel
and assess their needs during and
following a disaster.
"It's important for all Navy per-
sonnel active duty, reserve and
civilian to update their infor-
mation on NFAAS," said Lucius.
"If they have special needs due
to hurricanes, Navy personnel
and their families can fill out an
assessment survey on NFAAS to
receive assistance."
To log on to NFAAS, visit
https://www.navyfamily.navy.mil.
NFAAS is already providing
help to those in need.

Orleans was on vacation, but she
coordinated with NRSE NFAAS's
point of contact and began help-
ing families in her area of respon-
sibility anyway. That's the level of
dedication our employees have."
Throughout the region, installa-
tions are standing by in case sup-
port is needed for forecasted bad
weather caused by hurricanes.
"The Navy takes care of its
families," Lucius continued. "The
Emergency Family Assistance
Center is the Navy's way of pro-
viding information and help-
ing people who have just been
through something awful and
don't know which way to turn."

POW/MIA recognition
event next week
By Staff
APOW/MIA Recognition Observance
will be held aboard NAS
Jacksonville Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. at
All Saints Chapel. The event will honor
all Americans who are former POWs, as
well as those who are still unaccounted
for and their families.
Keynote speaker will be Charles White, a
former Vietnam POW. In 1966, White was
on his third tour in Vietnam as a combat
medic in the Marine Corps when his unit
was ambushed and he was captured.
He spent about seven and a half months
as a POW and was forced to treat injured
Vietnamese soldiers until he was rescued
by U.S. troops.
The POW Pledge of Allegiance will be
led by Herman Lodinger, who was bom-
bardier in a B-24 aircraft shot down over
Nazi Germany. He was taken prisoner and
confined at Stalag Luft 3, the camp made
famous by the "Great Escape."
Many of the escaped POWs were recap-
tured and executed, as depicted in the 1963
movie starring Steve McQueen.
At the end of the observance, the NAS
Jacksonville Weapons Department will
render honors with a 21-gun salute. A
reception with refreshments will take place
in the Chapel Fellowship Hall.
POW/MIA observances are held nation-
ally and reaffirm a promise to fallen com-
rades, "you are not forgotten."
Military and civilian employees at NAS
Jacksonville, as well as all other area mili-
tary installations, are invited to attend.
The military attire for participants
is summer whites, working uniform for
guests and appropriate attire for civilians.
