NAS Jax Chaplain (Lt.) Thomas
Bingol delivered the invocation at
the "Tribute to Freedom: A salute
to our military troops and fami-
lies" luncheon presented by VyStar
Credit Union and the Jacksonville
Chamber of Commerce Nov. 20 at
the Hyatt Regency.

T he grand ballroom of the
Hyatt Regency Jacksonville
Riverfront hotel was
packed Nov. 20 with active duty
military personnel and communi-
ty movers and shakers who came
together for a salute to America's
military and their families.
Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton
said, "The military presence in
Northeast Florida is the closest
thing we have to a recession-proof
industry and that's one of the rea-
sons I believe our area won't suf-
fer as much as other regions of
our state. The fact is, about $12
billion of economic activity is gen-
erated by our military commands
each year.
I want to thank the Jacksonville
NAS jax Commanding Officer Capt. jack Scorby Jr. and Dan McCarthy dis-
cuss the recently released Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft Environmental
Impact Statement concerning the new P-8 aircraft.
Chamber of Commerce leadership
and sponsor VyStar Credit Union
for bringing us together to show
our appreciation not just for the
economic impact of our military
community but also to honor our
Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine
Corps and Coast Guard for their
everyday service in the defense of
our country.
We're a military-friendly city
and we're proud of it. As we work
our way through tough economic
circumstances, it's important to
celebrate what's going right. I'm
told that Jacksonville is one of the
most-requested duty stations in
the Navy. And our large number
of military retirees is a testament
to the outstanding quality of life
that we enjoy here on Florida's
First Coast.
Another reason to celebrate is

AS Jacksonville hosted a special group of visitors Nov.
25 as five Jacksonville Jaguars rookie players and sev-
eral other staff members visited for a tour of the station.
The tour was offered to give the new players an up-close and
personal look at what life is like aboard a military installation
and-sme ofTh i jo-bs our se6icemen and women perform.
The day began with a tour of Aviation Survival Training Center
(ASCT) Jax, where the players were briefed by Instructor HMI
Michael Armbruster on how military aircrew are trained for survival.
Armbruster discussed how they train pilots to recognize and
combat hypoxia, the decompression chamber, combat survival,
ejection procedures, first aid, parachute jumping and how the
underwater egress trainer (the dunker) operates. "Our goal
is to .teach our pilots to get out of their aircraft and survive,"
Armbruster told the football players as he explained how the
dunker works. "When a helo crashes in the water, it will flip
because the engine is on top. Our job is to teach the aircrew to
get out safely. We do several different scenarios here including a
nighttime simulation complete with thunderstorm sound effects
-and of course all this is done with their gear on. We also teach
them to untangle themselves from their parachutes because ifPhoo b Kalee LaRocque

HEY, MONEYCHIC.I
Hey, MoneyChic!
My husband is deployed and with the recent
time change it's getting dark earlier each night.
The kids are inside, bouncing off the walls. I'm
already stressed from a busy day at work and
being on my own. We end up becoming couch
potatoes, watching TV and eating chips. I
know these aren't good habits to establish for
either me or my kids, but I can't afford any
options for recreation. Have any ideas?
MoneyChic Says: -N
Deployments are never an easy time for fami-
lies, especially if you are working and have
kids to manage too. Fortunately, the YMCA
has paired up with the Department of Defense
recognizing the stress military families face
during deployments. YMCA's across the coun-
try will give free memberships to military fami-
lies as part of a Department of Defense initia-
tive to help ease the stress of deployment. The
national program will pay all membership costs
for six months at a time to any family with a
member who is deployed. This outreach will
continue until 2010. So instead of falling into
a couch potato rut, find your local YMCA and
take advantage of this great offer. The kids can
burn off extra energy too. Exercise can help
relieve stress, lift your spirits and it's good for
your physical health as well. See you at the
YMCA!

"As mayor, I've been for-

also recognize our military

Thanks in large part to his
'efforts, northeast Florida

many years of leadership,
as well as behind-the-

citizen Dan McCarthy.
This award will be given
annually to the person who
goes above and beyond to
help make Jacksonville
the most military-friendly
city in America," concluded
Peyton.

Pearl Harbor remembrance this Sunday
From the Naval Historical Center
Washington Naval Yard
The Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese
surprise attack on Pearl
Harbor was one of the
great defining moments in his-
tory. A single, carefully planned
and well-executed strike removed
the U.S. Navy's battleship
force as a possible threat to the
Japanese Empire's southward
expansion, America, unprepared
,and now considerably weakened,
-was abruptly brought into the
:Second World War as a full com-
batant.
Eighteen months earlier,
President Roosevelt had trans-
ferred the United States Fleet
to Pearl Harbor as a presumed
deterrent to Japanese aggression.
The Japanese military, deeply
engaged in the seemingly endless
war it had started against China
in mid-1937, badly needed oil and
other raw materials. Commercial
access to these was gradually cur-
tailed as the conquests continued.
U.S. Navy photo
The forward ammunition magazines detonate aboard drydocked destroyer
USS Shaw during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.
In July 1941 the Western pow-
ers effectively halted trade with
Japan. From then on, as the des-
perate Japanese schemed to seize
the oil- and mineral-rich Dutch
East Indies and Southeast Asia,
a Pacific wiar was virtually inevi-
table.
By late November 1941,
with peace negotiations clear-
ly approaching an end, informed
U.S. officials (and they were well-
informed, they believed, through
an ability to read Japan's diplo-
matic codes) fully expected a
Japanese attack into the Dutch
East Indies, Malaysia and probably
the Philippines. Completely unan-
ticipated was the prospect that
Japan would attack east, as well.
The U.S. Fleet's Pearl Harbor
base was reachable by an aircraft
carrier force, and the Japanese
Navy secretly sent one across the
Pacific with greater aerial strik-
ing power than had ever been
seen on the world's oceans. Its
planes attacked just before 8 a.m.
on Dec. 7. In a short time, five of
eight battleships at Pearl Harbor
were sunk or sinking, with the
rest damaged. Several other ships
and most Hawaii-based combat
planes were also knocked out -
and more than 2,400 Americans
were dead. Soon after Pearl
Harbor, Japanese aircraft elimi-
nated much of the American air
force in the Philippines, and a
Japanese Army was ashore in
Malaysia.
These great Japanese successes,
achieved without prior diplomatic
formalities, shocked and enraged
the previously divided American
people into a level of purposeful
unity hardly seen before or since.
Until the Battle of the Coral Sea
in early May, Japan's far-reach-
ing offensives proceeded without
opposition. American and Allied
morale suffered accordingly.
Under normal political circum-
stances, an accommodation might
have been considered.
However, the memory of the
"sneak attack" on Pearl Harbor
fueled America's determination
to fight on. In June of 1942, the
Battle of Midway eliminated
much of Japan's superior strik-
ing power, enabling the U.S. and
its allies to turn the tide of war
against the Japanese Empire.

"The old 9D5 resembles a super-size oil drum on its side
with windows and a hatchway cut into it. The new 9D6
is designed to look more like an aircraft fuselage and Jt's
modular in the sense that we can configure it specifically
to the type of helicopter or aircraft that the aircrew oprr-
ates," said Jay..
ASTC Instructor AW2 John Gagnon added, "If it's a
Seahawk helicopter, the seats, windows and hatches can
be configured to the actual aircraft. The same goes for the
P-3 Orion configuration. The 9D6 is more realistic and
relevant in the way it looks and moves. Trainees must
manipulate the latches and hatches and push-or-pull the
windows before they can egress."
The federal contractor that maintains and operates the
dunker employs civilian technicians Chris Amicarel.le.
Tim Foreman, Sean Glase and Corey Brooks. ,
"We work with the ASTC dive supervisor to profile each
flight and set the correct depth and movements. Our.team
also includes two safety divers who are underwater Tor
every exercise; and a spotter who maintains voice commu-
nication with the divers."
"The 9D5 may look like a strange carnival ride, but the
training it provides can make the difference between; hfe,
of death for aircrew forced to ditch ini an emergency," sjaid
Brooks.
The Navy operates eight ASTCs four on the west coast,
three on the east coast and one at NAS Pensacola.
ASTC Jacksonville is one of the last two bases to convert
to the new dunker. "Other stations were constructing new
pools, so they installed the new 9D6 dunker as part of the
project. Our 9D5 has been excellently maintained over
the years so there was no rush to convert our center. In
fact, we hate to see it scrapped, so we're checking to see
if the National Naval Aviation Museum located at NAS
Pensacola would be interested in making our 9D5 part of
their collection," said Jay.
Capt. Jim Norton, officer in charge of the Naval Survival
Training Institute at NAS Pensacola, arrived at ASTC
Jacksonville Nov. 24 to join the staff for some final dunks.
"This is the next-to-the-last 9D5 to be retired," said a
dripping wet Norton. "Commander Jay tells me that since
1983 more than 52,466 students can say, 'I survived the
D5' at ASTC Jacksonville. That's quite an accomplish-
ment," said Norton.

DUNKER: New
trainer seems
less foreboding
From Page 6
"I also wanted to be here today to recognize dunker
.safety diver Hugh Parks, who is retiring after 42 years of
combined military and civilian service."
....HM1 Michael.Armbruster, an aviation survival trainer
for five years said, "Each dunker evolution is carefully
cNoreographed. For students in our two-day refresher
.' ourse. the dunker is their final challenge of the second
,y. Everybody's nervous when they take their seats in
p:le dunker, but in those last seconds before they go under-
k,.ater, most people just focus on their reference points and
what we trained them to do. Most break the surface of
Thjbe pool in 14 to 30 seconds with big smiles and high fives.
If anybody has an egress problem, our divers can call an
',4;finergency retract and pull the dunker out very quickly."
I"'Norton, who has dropped in both trainers, concluded
t..tat. "The new 9D6 trainer is challenging and can be more
realistically configured for both fixed wing or rotary wing
aircraft Yet, it lacks that intrinsic, foreboding element
,p the old dunker that originally inspired its nickname,
Slanic in a drum."'
',-ASTC Jacksonville is a department of the Naval
iPperational Medicine Institute (NOMI). NAS Pensacola,
',Pa., providing aviation survival and safety training for
NNavy and Marine Corps aviation, in addition to support-
ii.rAg other Department of Defense activities.
Spt. Jim Norton (right), officer in charge of the Naval
rvival Training Institute at NAS Pensacola, joined the Nov.
retirement party for the 9D5 underwater egress trainer
o commonly known as the dunker at Aviation Survival
Mtaining Center (ASTC) Jacksonville.
As expected, there was no discernable panic in the drum.
After they were soaking wet from their first dunk, some ASTC
Jacksonville staff doubled up with another evolution in the
9D5. (From left) AW2 John Gagnon, HM1 Ryan Auclair, Lt.

"A date with the dunker
definitely results in a bad hair
day," declared ASTC Jacksonville
Director Cmdr. Susan lay.
"I'm looking forward to the
inaugural ditch in our new
model 9D6 trainer."
Civilian safety diver Hugh Parks is retiring from the Aviation
Survival Training Center (ASTC) lacksonville.
AW2 John Gagnon asks the dunker operator if he could dis-
embark and book a later flight. His request was denied by
"pilot" HM1 Sean Long.

Healthy relationships
require hard work
By Lt. Elliott Rosenbaum
NHJ Psychology Staff
ots of people .want to ride. with

J.LJwant is someone who will take
* bus with you when the limo breaks
wn." -Oprah Winfrey
-*8tudies show that being in a healthy
-and supportive relationship contributes to
a person's sense of wellbeing and physical
health. Like all areas in our lives, success
takes hard work and commitment. All rela-
tionships can benefit from some fine-tun-
ing. Here are four effective ways to keep
your relationship in great shape.
. (1) View your relationship as a bank
account. A healthy bank account is main-
tained by having more deposits than with-
drawals. In a relationship, a deposit is
doing anything for your partner that they
appreciate and that makes them feel loved,
whether it is a compliment, taking out the
trash or listening to the details of their
:day. A withdrawal is doing anything that
accomplishes the opposite like arguing,
speaking in a rude tone or being unhelp-
ful. Ensure that both you and your partner
make more deposits than withdrawals to
ensure a healthy relationship.
(2) Learn the essentials of respectful and
assertive communication. Some of us are
great at expressing our needs and disap-
pointments, but are not always respectful
or appropriate in our approach. The litera-
ture refers to this as aggressive communi-
cation. It is not the most effective way to
communicate, because it sparks bad feel-

ings and arguments. Others of us, in order
to avoid a fight, don't express our needs to
our partner and are not honest with them
in doing so. This is referred to as passive
communication. It is also not effective in
creating a positive relationship, as one
partner usually feels unhappy. Assertive
communication, gives you the best chance
at peacefully getting your point across. It
always consists of the following four com-
ponents:
Honest how do you feel?
Appropriate make sure it is the right
time and place to discuss this.
Respectful your tone can make all the
difference.
Direct be specific. What do you want?
(3) Read a good book about relationships.
Books like Men are From Mars, Women
are From Venus are a great way to gain
insight into potential pitfalls of relation-
ships such as ruts and what can be done
about them.
(4) Consider talking to a trained pro-
fessional. Talking things through with a
relationship counselor can help. If you
are experiencing depression or anxiety
associated with your situation, call Value

Oral hygiene:
Vital part of
overall health
By Lisa Glaeser-Joseph and HM2 Mark
F failure to practice good, oral hygiene
may cause significant harmful conse-
quences to your overall health. Poor
hygiene typically leads to halitosis, known
as bad breath, decay, periodontal (gum)
disease, and possibly pre-term births.
* Dental caries is an infectious disease
caused by bacteria that produces acids
when exposed to starchy or sugary foods
over time. The acids then diffuse into the
tooth and dissolve tooth minerals which,,
after many episodes, will lead to tooth
decay. About 90 percent of the population
has some form of tooth decay with most
acquiring their first cavity by age five.
In general, people do not realize that
dental and ,some medical conditions are'
closely linked. For example, periodontal
disease is an infection targeting the gum
tissue and underlying bone. The destruc-
tive bacteria produced by this infection
enter the bloodstream and cause an inflam-
matory response that negatively affects
arteries. It is estimated that roughly 75
percent of adults have some degree of peri-
odontal disease and most do not know it._
Recent research has indicated that
uncontrolled periodontal disease is a sig-
nificant risk factor for chronic heart disease
and myocardial infarctions, also known
as heart attacks. Researchers have found
that people with periodontal disease are
almost twice as likely to suffer from coro-
nary artery disease as, those without the
disease.
Diabetic individuals are more prone to
periodontal problems considering their
increased susceptibility to infections. Some
research indicates that 95 percent of dia-
betic adults have some type of gum disease.
Pregnant women with periodontal dis-
ease are seven-to eight times more like-,
ly to have a pre-term, low birth weight
baby. Realizing that any infection in an
expectant mother can pose a serious risk
to the unborn baby, United Concordia has
enhanced the TRICARE Dental Program
(TDP) benefit for active duty families,
allowing pregnant women up to three rou-

tine dental cleaning in a consecutive 12-
month period at no cost, instead of the
traditional two cleaning.
The mouth-body connection should not
be overlooked when considering overall
health for the adult population. There are
a few simple steps you can follow to avoid
these dental ailments.
First and foremost, see your dentist
and dental hygienist routinely-this is a
requirement. for all active duty personnel
as part of the annual preventive health
assessment (PHA). The dental profession-
als will be able to point out any problems
and will set up the proper steps to attain a
healthy mouth.
In the meantime, brush your teeth at
least three times a day with an American

A group of nine student aircrewmen
from VP-30 "Pro's Nest" volun-
teered recently to help with paint-
ing projects at Tynes Elementary School'
in Middleburg.
SAWF1 TrentinDavis, a VP-30 flight engi-
neer instructor, spearheaded the project.
1Their time and talent were instrumental
refurbishing playground gaming areas and
rehabilitating a world geography mural
measuring 15 by 45 feet.
Over the years, the mural had become
weathered, but through the hard work of
these volunteers the colors shone bright
once again.
Assistant Principal Kim Morrison, along
with teachers, staff and students served
lunch and refreshments for the volunteers.
"We at Tynes Elementary School extend
a heartfelt "thank you" to the volunteers
from Patrol Squadron 30. It is a tribute
to their character that they are willing
to take time from their busy schedules to
help with the beautification of our school,"
Morrison commented.
"We want to develop the whole Sailor,"
said Davis. "We want to provide all our
Sailors with the necessary tools and oppor-
tunities to learn, grow and lead."
The following Sailors continue a proud
tradition of the Pro's Nest community
involvement: AWF1 Trentin Davis, AE3
Amanda Moreland, AE3 Travis Stoltmen,
AE3 Michael Pulliam, AD2 Christian
Zanin, AE3 Olana Wesley, AE3 Mary

:A alexander Fleming discovered
penicillin, the first antibiotic,
'Lin 1927. Since then, antibiotics
lhve changed medical care by reduc-
ig illness and death from infections.
itibiotics fight infections caused by
:,cteria, however, they are not effec-
t',e combating viruses.
]RICARE urges beneficiaries to
lt'st say no" to .antibiotics for treat-
ng colds and the flu. According to
the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), there is a sense
among the public that antibiotics are
a "cure all."
; Many beneficiaries expect an anti-
biotic prescription when they see
their primary care manager (PCM)
for colds, the flu, most coughs, sore
throats and some earaches.
"Instead of automatically asking for
antibiotics, TRICARE encourages all
beneficiaries to listen to their PCM
about the best treatment options,"
said Maj. Gen. Elder Granger, depu-
ty director, TRICARE Management

The CDC recommends that chil-
dren and adults increase fluid intake,
use a cool-mist humidifier or saline
solutions to relieve congestion, and
get plenty of rest. Children who are
unable to blow their nose may benefit
from saline nasal drops and a bulb
syringe to help keep their nasal pas-
sages clear. Over-the-counter medica-
tions may help adults. Prevention is
better than cure, so following these
steps can help avoid catching a cold
or the flu.
Get the flu shot or nasal mist flu
vaccine to reduce risk of contracting
the flu virus. Either is appropriate for
children and adults.
Wash hands often because colds
and the flu are spread by direct con-
tact.
Drink plenty of water.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue
instead of the hands.
Keep your hands away from your

body through the eyes, nose and

viral infections such as the. flu or cold
can sometimes lead to bacterial infec-
tions," said Granger.
If a bacterial infection is present
and a PCM decides that antibiotics
would be beneficial, the CDC suggests
the following:
Take an antibiotic exactly as pre-
scribed and do not skip doses, even
when feeling better. Stopping the
medicine too early may allow some
bacteria to linger, increasing the pos-
sibility of getting sick again.
Throw away any unused medica-
tion after finishing the recommended
treatment. It is not safe to keep anti-
biotics for future illnesses.
Do not take antibiotics prescribed
for someone else, as they are specific
to that person's illness. Taking the
wrong medication may delay proper
treatment and allow bacteria to mul-
tiply.

Storekeeper, postal clerk ratings to ig'W m*
merge into logistic specialist rating
By MC3 Devin Thorpe
Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs
Chief of Naval Operations, Adm.
Gary Roughead, has approved the
merger of the storekeeper (SK) and
postal clerk (PC) ratings to the logistics.
specialist (LS) rating, according to a Navy
message released Nov. 17.
The conversion from SK and PC ratings
to LS officially begins Oct. 1, 2009 for all
active-duty Sailors and Reserve component
E-6 and above according to NAVADMIN
326/08. Conversion for Reserve component
'E-l through E-5 begins April 1, 2010.
The SK rating badge will be used to rep-
resent the new LS rating. All PC person-
nel are required to convert uniform rating
badges to the SK rating badge no later
than Oct. 1, 2011.
"Over the past several years, the postal
clerk rating has been shrinking. We went
from having an enlisted authorization of
almost 1,000 people, and now we're down
. to 645. It's at a point now that we're losing
billets faster than we lose people, which
stifles promotion," said Master Chief Postal
Clerk(SW/AW) Ron Guyton,'the Navy's
technical advisor for the supply ratings.
The rating merger overall will benefit
the Sailors more -than two separate rates
would, said Guyton.
As an element of the Navy's total force
strategy, this merger will capitalize on the
knowledge, skills and abilities found in the
two ratings and apply them toward a uni-
fied mission according to the NAVADMIN.
"With most PCs gone from smaller ships,
the storekeepers are doing that work
already, and it's been successful. So now
we're taking a bigger step and training
more Sailors to do a wider variety of jobs.
There's no way the Navy can lose by hav-
ing better trained Sailors," Guyton said.
New Navy Medicine Lean Six
Sigma Web site launches
By MC1(SW)
Arthur De La Cruz
Navy Medicine Support
Command (NMSC) at NAS
Jacksonville launched the
Bureau of Medicine, and
Surgery's (BUMED) new
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Web
site Nov. 24.
The publicly acces-
sible Continuous Process
Improvement (CPI)/LSS
Program Management
Office (PMO) Web page was
launched within the Navy
Medicine Sharepoint por-
tal to provide access to tools
and methodology required
to support quality improve-'
ment efforts of more than
40,000 Navy Medicine per-
sonnel worldwide.
"The site contains
Department of Defense,
Department of the Navy
and BUMED business
transformation guid-
ance and the most cur-
rent BUMED LSS train-
ing schedule and contact
information," said Cmdr.
Fernando Moreno, a consul-
tant with NMSC's PMO and
Future Plans & Strategies,
and an LSS Black Belt.
"The site also provides
orientation and tutorials for
LSS-related software appli-
cations such as Continuous
Process Improvement
Management System
(CPIMS), iGrafx (a process
analysis and simulation
tool) and Minitab (a statis-
tical data analysis and pro-
cess tracking tool)."
The site features BUMED
standardized templates for
Project Charters and the
Tollgate Presentation Deck
- a presentation template
that outlines deliverables
and deadlines at every step
of' the LSS development
process.
"We've migrated the origi-
nal site away fromil our pre-
vious Navy Medicine Online
(NMO)-based site in order
to support the consolidation
of all BUMED public-facing
Websites to a single Navy
Medicine Website," said
Moreno.
Although the previous
CPI/LSS PMO site on NMO
contained many of the same
features, it wasn't publicly
accessible.
The NMO-hosted
Website, launched July 9,
was CAC-enabled, meaning
users needed a government-
issued CAC card as
well as a CAC card
reader to access the
site.
"But now that
the site is publicly
accessible, users can
get to the site from
home and without
their CAC card," said
Moreno.
Users can go to

tures, including tutorials

homeport alternative for
a single nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier at Naval
Station Mayport will reduce
the risks to fleet resourc-
es in the event of natural
disaster, man-made calam-
ity or attack on other Navy
ports," said Peyton.
After his speech, Peyton
recognized many of the
people who support
Jacksonville's military
installations.
"As mayor, I've been for-
tunate to work with very
capable U.S. senators, rep-
resentatives and city coun-
sel members when it comes
to military affairs. I must
also recognize our military
liaison, Dan McCarthy,
who has helped steer our
community through some
extraordinary times.
Thanks in large part to his
efforts, northeast Florida
realized a net gain of 3,000
personnel through BRAC;
Whitehouse Field land use
issues were resolved; and
ground was broken for a
new VA cemetery. For his
many years of leadership,
as well as behind-the-
scenes accomplishments, it
is my pleasure to award the
first Jacksonville Military
Service Award to a great
citizen Dan McCarthy.
This award will be given
annually to the person who
goes above and beyond to
help make Jacksonville
the most military-friendly
city in America," concluded
Peyton.

The players were defi-
nitely intrigued with the
training the center offers,
the high-tech equipment
and were amazed at what
scenarios the aircrew goes
through.
The group then visited
the HS-7 "Dusty Dogs"
where they climbed aboard
an SH-60F Seahawk heli-
copter in the hangar and
learned about the mission
and training of the squad-
ron. After signing auto-
graphs and pausing for a
few photos with squadron
members, the group head-
ed to the Flight Line Caf6
where they met NAS Jax
Commanding Officer Capt.
Jack Scorby Jr. for lunch.
During the meal, the
players discussed their
visit to ASTC and HS-7
and Scorby informed them
he had just completed his
refresher training, includ-
ing the dunker scenarios.
The players were extremely
interested in hearing about
his experiences.

"It was pretty excit-
ing. I definitely have a lot
more respect for the guys
who do that consistent-
ly on a day-to-day basis,"
said Jacksonville Jaguars
Quarterback Paul Smith,
after successfully landing
twice on the simulated car-
rier deck.
"It's been a great tour.
I've always thought highly
of the things our service
members do. My grandfa-
ther was in the military
- he actually joined at age
15. So, I've been around the
military my whole life. It
really makes me appreciate
the freedoms we have and
the life I get to live."
"This has been a great
tour very informative.
Jacksonville is a military
town and we came here
today to see firsthand what
some of our military mem-
bers here do each day,"
added Jacksonville Jaguars
Communications Assistant
Renzo Sheppard. "It makes
us better appreciate what
they do every day for our
country."

the dunker, but in those last seconds before they go under-
water, most people just focus on their reference points and
do what we trained them to do. Most break the surface of
the pool in 14 to 30 seconds with big smiles and high fives.
If anybody has an egress problem, our divers can call an
emergency retract and pull the dunker out very quickly."
Norton, who has dropped in both trainers, concluded
that, "The new 9D6 trainer is challenging and can be more
realistically configured for both fixed wing or rotary wing
aircraft. Yet, it lacks that intrinsic, foreboding element
of the old dunker that originally inspired its nickname,
'panic in a drum.'"
ASTC Jacksonville is a department of the Naval
Operational Medicine Institute (NOMI), NAS Pensacola,
Fla., providing aviation survival and safety training for
Navy and Marine Corps aviation, in addition to support-
ing other Department of Defense activities.
As expected, there was no discernable panic in the drum.
After they were soaking wet from their first dunk, some ASTC
Jacksonville staff doubled up with another evolution in the
9D5. (From left) AW2 John Gagnon, HM1 Ryan Auclair, Lt.

"A date with the dunker
definitely results in a bad hair
day," declared ASTC Jacksonville
Director Cmdr. Susan Jay.
"I'm looking forward to the
inaugural ditch in our new
model 9D6 trainer."
AW2 John Gagnon asks the dunker operator if he could dis-
embark and book a later flight. His request was denied by
"pilot" HM1 Sean Long.
Capt. Jim Norton (right), officer in charge of the Naval
Survival Training Institute at NAS Pensacola, joined the Nov.
24 retirement party for the 9D5 underwater egress trainer
- commonly known as the dunker at Aviation Survival

Antibiotics are not the cure c mrbHADITROL
.CARS BOATS PLANES TRAINS
From TRICARE
Alexander Fleming discovered
penicillin, the first antibiotic,
in 1927. Since then, antibiotics
have changed medical care by reduc-
ing illness and death from infections.
Antibiotics fight infections caused by
bacteria, however, they are not effec-
tive combating viruses.
TRICARE urges beneficiaries to
"just say no" to antibiotics for treat-
ing colds and the flu. According to
the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), there is a sense
among the public that antibiotics are
a "cure all."
Many beneficiaries expect an anti-
biotic prescription when they see
their primary care manager (PCM)
for colds, the flu, most coughs, sore
throats and some earaches.
"Instead of automatically asking for
antibiotics, TRICARE encourages all
beneficiaries to listen to their PCM
about the best treatment options,"
said Maj. Gen. Elder Granger, depu-
ty director, TRICARE Management
Activity.

The CDC recommends that chil-
dren and adults increase fluid intake,
use a cool-mist humidifier or saline
solutions to relieve congestion, and
get plenty of rest. Children who are
unable to blow their nose may benefit
from saline nasal drops and a bulb
syringe to help keep their nasal pas-
sages clear. Over-the-counter medica-
tions may help adults. Prevention is
better than cure, so following these
steps can help avoid catching a cold
or the flu.
*Get the flu shot or nasal mist flu
vaccine to reduce risk of contracting
the flu virus. Either is appropriate for
children and adults.
Wash hands often because colds
and the flu are spread by direct con-
tact.
Drink plenty of water.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue
instead of the hands.
Keep your hands away from your
face. Cold/flu viruses can enter the
body through the eyes, nose and
mouth.
"Beneficiaries should keep their
PCM informed if their illness gets
worse or lasts a long time because
viral infections such as the flu or cold
can sometimes lead to bacterial infec-
tions," said Granger.
If a bacterial infection is present
and a PCM decides that antibiotics
would be beneficial, the CDC suggests
the following:
Take an antibiotic exactly as pre-
scribed and do not skip doses, even
when feeling better. Stopping the
medicine too early may allow some
bacteria to linger, increasing the pos-
sibility of getting sick again.
Throw away any unused medica-
tion after finishing the recommended
treatment. It is not safe to keep anti-
biotics for future illnesses.
Do not take antibiotics prescribed
for someone else, as they are specific
to that person's illness. Taking the
wrong medication may delay proper
treatment and allow bacteria to mul-
tiply.

Pearl Harbor remembrance this Sunday
From the Naval Historical Center
Washington Naval Yard
The Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese
surprise attack on Pearl
Harbor was one of the
great defining moments in his-
tory. A single, carefully planned
and well-executed strike removed
the U.S. Navy's battleship
force as a possible threat to the
Japanese Empire's southward
expansion. America, unprepared
and now considerably weakened,
was abruptly brought into the
Second World War as a full com-
batant.
Eighteen months earlier,
President Roosevelt had trans-
ferred the United States Fleet
to Pearl Harbor as a presumed
deterrent to Japanese aggression.
The Japanese military, deeply
engaged in the seemingly endless
war it had started against China
in mid-1937, badly needed oil and
other raw materials. Commercial
access to these was gradually cur-
tailed as the conquests continued.
U.S. Navy photo
The forward ammunition magazines detonate aboard drydocked destroyer
USS Shaw during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.
In July 1941 the Western pow-
ers effectively halted trade with
Japan. From then on, as the des-
perate Japanese schemed to seize
the oil- and mineral-rich Dutch
East Indies and Southeast Asia,
a Pacific war was virtually inevi-
table.
By late November 1941,
with peace negotiations clear-
ly approaching an end, informed
U.S. officials (and they were well-
informed, they believed, through
an ability to read Japan's diplo-
matic codes) fully expected a
Japanese attack into the Dutch
East Indies, Malaysia and probably
the Philippines. Completely unan-
ticipated was the prospect that
Japan would attack east, as well.
The U.S. Fleet's Pearl Harbor
base was reachable by an aircraft
carrier force, and the Japanese
Navy secretly sent one across the
Pacific with greater aerial strik-
ing power than had ever been
seen on the world's oceans. Its
planes attacked just before 8 a.m.
on Dec. 7. In a short time, five of
eight battleships at Pearl Harbor
were sunk or sinking, with the
rest damaged. Several other ships
and most Hawaii-based combat
planes were also knocked out -
and more than 2,400 Americans
were dead. Soon after Pearl
Harbor, Japanese aircraft elimi-
nated much of the American air
force in the Philippines, and a
Japanese Army was ashore in
Malaysia.
These great Japanese successes,
achieved without prior diplomatic
formalities, shocked and enraged
the previously divided American
people into a level of purposeful
unity hardly seen before or since.
Until the Battle of the Coral Sea
in early May, Japan's far-reach-
ing offensives proceeded without
opposition. American and Allied
morale suffered accordingly.
Under normal political circum-
stances, an accommodation might
have been considered.
However, the memory of the
"sneak attack" on Pearl Harbor
fueled America's determination
to fight on. In June of 1942, the
Battle of Midway eliminated
much of Japan's superior strik-
ing power, enabling the U.S. and
its allies to turn the tide of war
against the Japanese Empire.

relationships
require hard work
By Lt. Elliott Rosenbaum
NHJ Psychology Staff
ots of people want to ride with
you in the limo, but what you
L want is someone who will take
the bus with you when the limo breaks
down." -Oprah Winfrey
Studies show that being in a healthy
and supportive relationship contributes to
a person's sense of wellbeing and physical
health. Like all areas in our lives, success
takes hard work and commitment. All rela-
tionships can benefit from some fine-tun-
ing. Here are four effective ways to keep
your relationship in great shape.
(1) View your relationship as a bank
account. A healthy bank account is main-
tained by having more deposits than with-
drawals. In a relationship, a deposit is
doing anything for your partner that they
appreciate and that makes them feel loved,
whether it is a compliment, taking out the
trash or listening to the details of their
day. A withdrawal is doing anything that
accomplishes the opposite like arguing,
speaking in a rude tone or being unhelp-
ful. Ensure that both you and your partner
make more deposits than withdrawals to
ensure a healthy relationship.
(2) Learn the essentials of respectful and
assertive communication. Some of us are
great at expressing our needs and disap-
pointments, but are not always respectful
or appropriate in our approach. The litera-
ture refers to this as aggressive communi-
cation. It is not the most effective way to
communicate, because it sparks bad feel-
But Some Are Destined
For Greatness

a CFC participant Provided as a public service
ings and arguments. Others of us, in order
to avoid a fight, don't express our needs to
our partner and are not honest with them
in doing so. This is referred to as passive
communication. It is also not effective in
creating a positive relationship, as one
partner usually feels unhappy. Assertive
communication gives you the best chance
at peacefully getting your point across. It
always consists of the following four com-
ponents:
Honest how do you feel?
Appropriate make sure it is the right
time and place to discuss this.
Respectful your tone can make all the
difference.
Direct be specific. What do you want?
(3) Read a good book about relationships.
Books like Men are From Mars, Women
are From Venus are a great way to gain
insight into potential pitfalls of relation-
ships such as ruts and what can be done
about them.
(4) Consider talking to a trained pro-
fessional. Talking things through with a
relationship counselor can help. If you
are experiencing depression or anxiety
associated with your situation, call Value
Options/TRICARE at 1-800-700-8646

Health Provider Locator and Appointment

VP-30 Sailors brighten
Tynes Elementary School
By Lt. Philip Sautter
VP-30 PAO
A group of nine student aircrewmen
from VP-30 "Pro's Nest" volun-
teered recently to help with paint-
ing projects at Tynes Elementary School
in Middleburg.
AWF1 Trentin Davis, a VP-30 flight engi-
neer instructor, spearheaded the project.
Their time and talent were instrumental
refurbishing playground gaming areas and
rehabilitating a world geography mural
measuring 15 by 45 feet.
Over the years, the mural had become
weathered, but through the hard work of
these volunteers the colors shone bright
once again.
Assistant Principal Kim Morrison, along
with teachers, staff and students served
lunch and refreshments for the volunteers.
"We at Tynes Elementary School extend
a heartfelt "thank you" to the volunteers
from Patrol Squadron 30. It is a tribute
to their character that they are willing
to take time from their busy schedules to
help with the beautification of our school,"
Morrison commented.
"We want to develop the whole Sailor,"
said Davis. "We want to provide all our
Sailors with the necessary tools and oppor-
tunities to learn, grow and lead."
The following Sailors continue a proud
tradition of the Pro's Nest community
involvement: AWF1 Trentin Davis, AE3
Amanda Moreland, AE3 Travis Stoltmen,
AE3 Michael Pulliam, AD2 Christian
Zanin, AE3 Olana Wesley, AE3 Mary
Fernandez, AEAN Adam Hough, ATAN
Jay Mossman and ADAN Maria Canelon.

Lessons of the northland
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
Moving from the Deep South
to the extreme north, as we
did this past August, has
afforded our family many new expe-
riences. Some I eagerly endorse -
such as seeing fallen autumn leaves
that are so bright they look like
drops of sunshine on the concrete)
Others, I strongly discourage such
as putting two children who have
never even roller skated, on the ice
for the first time at hockey practice).
Nevertheless, I will share some of
the more memorable lessons from
our first three months in Maine.
The furnace is like a (very expen-
sive) beast in your basement.
I moved to our new duty station
early, so our kids could get settled in
their new school.
Luckily, the temperatures in August
and September did not require my
indoctrination (sans capable and more
qualified husband) into the world of
heating oil and furnaces. There were
many times that I was hot. But my
kids had a harder time adjusting.
Especially Owen, 5, whose life force
is PediaSures and Goldfish crackers,
and therefore has very little body fat.
I received some criticism for writing
in an earlier column that my children
were cold when it was 75 degrees out-
side. Consider though that they had
just moved from Florida in the middle
of the summer, where the heat index
can reach into the 100s. By mid-
September, Owen was wearing a ski
hat and gloves to bed at night.
Yet turning on the heater so soon,
when most Mainers were still wear-
ing flip-flops, seemed ridiculous.
Well, okay, the truth is that I was
afraid to turn on the furnace. I have
never had a basement before, so I
didn't know what a furnace and the
underbelly of ducts, pinned to the ceil-
ing like giant, steel spaghetti, really
looks like. And I've never had an oil
tank either. Every time I ventured
into the basement to fetch a load of
laundry, I made a deal with the oil
tank-furnace duo: "You stay in your
corner and I'll stay in mine. No one
gets hurt."
The oil tank, a big barrel of a thing
that looks like something people in
my hometown in Virginia use to cook
pigs, seemed very ominous. "You
mean it's full of oil, right there in
my basement," I asked my friend
Stephanie. "Is that safe?"
But the furnace, oh, the furnace!
The furnace scared me the most. It
was like a dragon coiled up in the
middle of the basement, and I had no
desire to waken the beast.
Every military wife knows that
appliances break while her husband
is away on duty. I was not going to
test the furnace's ability to make
my life miserable by malfunctioning
while my husband, Dustin, was not in
residence.
In October, as the temperatures
started to dip, even the Mainers were
putting on coats. It was time to turn
on the furnace and Dustin still
wasn't home.
The first time I set the thermostat
and the dragon woke up, it hissed and
clanked and grumbled. An awful smell
- dust mixed with mildew (and gas?)
rose from the floor vents. The wooden
floorboards seemed to vibrate. I shut
off the furnace and told the boys to
put on another layer of clothes.
But it was getting cold at night, so
I had a talk with the dragon, I mean,
furnace. "Look, you stay in your neck
of the woods, and I'll stay in mine.
Just give us some heat. And try not to
be so angry, would you?"
One month later, I've made peace
with the furnace and all its racket.
I've even grown quite fond of it. Jet
noise may be the sound of freedom,
but furnace clanking is the sound of
warmth. I even fixed a broken vent
all by myself.
No, I'm not afraid of the beast in the
basement anymore. In fact, I hardly
notice it anymore. Then I got our first
bill.
HEY, MONEYCHIC!
Hey, MoneyChic!
My husband is deployed and with the recent
time change it's getting dark earlier each night.
The kids are inside, bouncing off the walls. I'm
already stressed from a busy day at work and
being on my own. We end up becoming couch
potatoes, watching TV and eating chips. I
know these aren't good habits to establish for
either me or my kids, but I can't afford any
options for recreation. Have any ideas?
MoneyChic Says:
Deployments are never an easy time for fami-
lies, especially if you are working and have
kids to manage too. Fortunately, the YMCA
has paired up with the Department of Defense
recognizing the stress military families face
during deployments. YMCA's across the coun-
try will give free memberships to military fami-
lies as part of a Department of Defense initia-
tive to help ease the stress of deployment. The
national program will pay all membership costs
for six months at a time to any family with a
member who is deployed. This outreach will
continue until 2010. So instead of falling into
a couch potato rut, find your local YMCA and
take advantage of this great offer. The kids can
burn off extra energy too. Exercise can help
relieve stress, lift your spirits and it's good for
your physical health as well. See you at the
YMCA!
The American Red Cross
at Naval Hospital
Jacksonville (NHJ) needs
volunteers to drive two shuttle
carts that transport patients
and visitors from parking areas
to the hospital entrance.
The only requirements for
shuttle cart drivers are that they
be outgoing, eager to help, pos-
sess a Florida driver's license
and undergo a security back-
ground check.
An orientation on hospital
rules and procedures is provided.
There are numerous other posi-
tions, located in virtually every
department, in which volunteers
can serve at Naval Hospital
Jacksonville.
Volunteers must be able to
work at least one four-hour shift
per week.
To join the NHJ American Red
Cross volunteer team, contact
Helen Donahoe or Anne Owen at
542-7525.

Get out ofyour rut
By Chaplain (Lt.) Joe
Molina
Some of you old salts
would agree that
there are few things
in life that are more miser-
able than being seasick on
the high seas without any
possibility of relief.
Thankfully, the good
Lord has blessed me with a
dependable pair of sea legs
-yet I have witnessed the
suffering of those poor souls
that have no hope of relief.
There is the account of
one poor soul traversing
a rough ocean passage.
The vessel was not totally
seaworthy and was being
tossed around in tumultu-
ous seas.
The man became very
seasick. Feeling claustro-
phobic, he struggled top-
side and positioned himself
on the rail of the ship. He
held on to that rail for dear
life and in the process he
"lost" everything else (if
you know what I mean). A
sailor walked by and com-
forted him. "Sir, I know this
seems bad for the moment,
but trust me. No one has
ever died of seasickness."
With all the strength the
man could muster, he
straightened himself up,
turned his green face to the
sailor and said, "Son, don't
tell me that. It's only the
wonderful prospect of dying
that keeps me alive."
Although I've never been
seasick, I think I know how
he must have felt. There
have been times in my own
life that have mirrored the
experience. Thank God, it
is not very often but some-
times we get caught in the
"muck and mire" of life -
that rut of repetitive, nega-
tive events that appear to
have no end in sight. The
CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
issues of life will toss us in
the sea of uncertainty and
take us to those desolate
places of existence where
the thought may cross our
minds, "Lord, go ahead and
punch my card. I'm ready
to go home. Take me out."
It is the terrible experi-
ence of feeling stuck spiri-
tually and emotionally.
Feelings of nausea and
depression could very well
accompany this experience.
When we arrive at those
places in life it is okay to
admit it. It is an arena of
life that we may have to do
battle in.
Finding ourselves in
a rut, struggling through
the muck and mire (defini-
tion: soft, moist barnyard
manure) of life can hap-
pen at any time. Losing
our momentum our vision
and our hope can happen
to the sharpest and bright-
est among us. In those ten-
der moments we may start
to ask some ultimate ques-
tions such as: "God, Why?
Where are you? What am I
doing here? Why are things
not progressing at the rate I
desire?"
Well, here are some sug-
gestions that may help you
get out of your rut.
1. BE PATIENT. These
are words I love to hate
because instant gratifi-
cation is the motto of our
times. When our vehi-
cle gets stuck in the mud
the natural inclination is
to step on the gas, right?
Wrong! Stepping on the gas
will bury us even deeper.
The solution is to get out of
the car, put traction under
the tire and slowly, method-
Chaplain (Lt.) Joe Molina
ically tap the accelerator. In
much the same way, when
life seems out of control,
take pause and "chill out" a
little bit. Look ahead with
eager and confident expec-
tation as we fix our eyes on
God. Develop a personal
disposition of dependency on
God and then move ahead.
2. CHANGE NEGATIVE
HABITS. Arriving at the
muck and mire of life is a
gradual process. It takes
place slowly as we start to
gradually slip. Maybe we
made a little compromise
here and there. Eventually
we find ourselves bogged
down in some vicious nega-
tive cycle. Making correc-
tions and adjustments in
deficient areas takes per-
sonal Initiative and cour-
age. Changing negative
habits requires a daily deci-
sion of our will as we daily
decide to get back to the
basics of good and practi-
cal habits that affirm our
moral, spiritual and ethical
convictions
3. STAY ACCOUNT-
ABLE. Identify an inner
circle of wise and mature
individuals that can be
trusted for advice and confi-
dentiality. These are people
that we can share our feel-
ings and concerns with and
will honestly share their
insights and help us to iden-
tify positive options.
4. DRAW NEAR TO
GOD. Some of us expect
very little from God. If we
expect nothing then we
will look for nothing. Let
us be assured that God is
waiting to respond to us as
we develop a disposition of
dependency upon God.

Storekeeper, postal clerk ratings to t
merge into logistic specialist rating
By MC3 Devin Thorpe
Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs
hief of Naval Operations, Adm.
Gary Roughead, has approved the
merger of the storekeeper (SK) and
postal clerk (PC) ratings to the logistics
specialist (LS) rating, according to a Navy
message released Nov. 17.
The conversion from SK and PC ratings
to LS officially begins Oct. 1, 2009 for all
active-duty Sailors and Reserve component
E-6 and above according to NAVADMIN
326/08. Conversion for Reserve component
E-l through E-5 begins April 1, 2010.
The SK rating badge will be used to rep-
resent the new LS rating. All PC person-
nel are required to convert uniform rating
badges to the SK rating badge no later
than Oct. 1, 2011.
"Over the past several years, the postal
clerk rating has been shrinking. We went
from having an enlisted authorization of
almost 1,000 people, and now we're down
to 645. It's at a point now that we're losing
billets faster than we lose people, which
stifles promotion," said Master Chief Postal
Clerk(SW/AW) Ron Guyton, the Navy's
technical advisor for the supply ratings.
The rating merger overall will benefit
the Sailors more than two separate rates
would, said Guyton.
As an element of the Navy's total force
strategy, this merger will capitalize on the
knowledge, skills and abilities found in the
two ratings and apply them toward a uni-
fied mission according to the NAVADMIN.
"With most PCs gone from smaller ships,
the storekeepers are doing that work
already, and it's been successful. So now
we're taking a bigger step and training
more Sailors to do a wider variety of jobs.
There's no way the Navy can lose by hav-
ing better trained Sailors," Guyton said.
New Navy Medicine Lean Six
Sigma Web site launches
By MC1(SW)
Arthur De La Cruz
Navy Medicine Support
Command (NMSC) at NAS
Jacksonville launched the
Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery's (BUMED) new
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Web
site Nov. 24.
The publicly acces-
sible Continuous Process
Improvement (CPI)/LSS
Program Management
Office (PMO) Web page was
launched within the Navy
Medicine Sharepoint por-
tal to provide access to tools
and methodology required
to support quality improve-
ment efforts of more than
40,000 Navy Medicine per-
sonnel worldwide.
"The site contains
Department of Defense,
Department of the Navy
and BUMED business
transformation guid-
ance and the most cur-
rent BUMED LSS train-
ing schedule and contact
information," said Cmdr.
Fernando Moreno, a consul-
tant with NMSC's PMO and
Future Plans & Strategies,
and an LSS Black Belt.
"The site also provides
orientation and tutorials for
LSS-related software appli-
cations such as Continuous
Process Improvement
Management System
(CPIMS), iGrafx (a process
analysis and simulation
tool) and Minitab (a statis-
tical data analysis and pro-
cess tracking tool)."
The site features BUMED
standardized templates for
Project Charters and the
Tollgate Presentation Deck
- a presentation template
that outlines deliverables
and deadlines at every step
of the LSS development
process.
"We've migrated the origi-
nal site away from our pre-
vious Navy Medicine Online
(NMO)-based site in order
to support the consolidation
of all BUMED public-facing
Websites to a single Navy
Medicine Website," said
Moreno.
Although the previous
CPI/LSS PMO site on NMO
contained many of the same
features, it wasn't publicly
accessible.
The NMO-hosted
Website, launched July 9,
was CAC-enabled, meaning
users needed a government-
issued CAC card as
well as a CAC card
reader to access the
site.
"But now that
the site is publicly
accessible, users can
get to the site from
home and without
Their CAC card," said
Moreno.
Users can go to
http://www.med.
navy.mil/sites/lssp-
mo/Pages/default.
aspx to access the site's fea-
tures, including tutorials
and templates.

CPI/LSS PMO site or the
