' Tridents' fly
support for
counter-piracy
operation
By MC3(SW) Brian Goodwin "We present a show of force
Combined Task Force 151 .
Helicopter Anti-subma-
rine Squadron (HS)
3, attached to Carrier
Air Wing (CVW) 8 aboard USS
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71),
is embarked aboard amphibious
transport dock ship USS San
Antonio (LPD 17) in support of
the Combined Task Force (CTF)
1151 counter-piracy mission.
HS-3's primary role in CTF 151
operations is to provide aerial
support with its HH-60H and SH-
60F helicopters, which special-
ize in combat search and rescue,
mobility and logistics.

when flying above any suspected
pirate vessels while the boarding
teams track them in the RHIBs
(rigid-hull inflatable boats), and
we dan definitely provide a rescue
platform during the operation as
well as a show of firepower," said
HS-3 Executive Officer Cmdr.
William Cox.
San Antonio was chosen as
the afloat forward staging base
(AFSB) for HS-3 because of the
ship's many capabilities. Its han-
gar bay can house two helicopters
with plenty of space for mainte-
nance, and its large flight deck
allows the squadron to launch
four helicopters at the same time.

Sea Control Wing, U.S. Atlantic Fleet
SA history of operational readiness
Fiomn staff
For 36 years, Commander, Sea
Control Wing, U.S. Atlantic Fleet,
has provided fleet commanders with
sea control and electronic reconnaissance
squadrons fully
trained and
combat ready,
able to execute A
all assigned
tasks in a -
timely, correct,
safe, and deci-
sive manner. -..
The com-
mand was offi-
cially estab-
lished, as Air A1 ^^
Antisubmarine
Wing One on
April 1, 1973,
at Quonset
Point, R.I., and
subsequently
moved to NAS Cecil Field that fall.
October 1976 marked the completion of
the Atlantic Fleet transition to,the S-3A
Viking as the propeller-driven S-2 Tracker
was replaced and retired.
In May 1987, the command was re-desig-
nated CSCWL. Following a reorganization
of naval aviation command structures, Sea
Strike Wing One was elevated to a major
command status in October 1992, and
was re-designated Sea Control Wing, U.S.
Atlantic Fleet. The Wing officially changed
their name in May'1993 and the squadrons
changed over in September, marking the
end of an era that also saw the wing desig-
nated as VS Wing One until the late 1980s.
In 1997, CSCWL and its six component
squadrons migrated to NAS Jacksonville,
where it reported directly to Commander,
Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet.
CSCWL was responsible for the readiness,
training, administration, and maintenance
support of all Atlantic Fleet VS squad-
rons and it was supported by the Carrier
Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC) and the
Sea Control Weapons School. Serving as
the type wing commander for all operation-
al S-3 Viking aircraft, the small staff was
charged with maintaining the material
and oper'-tional readiness of the fleet fixed
wing carrier based sea control squadrons.
Throughout its existence, the wing
remained at the forefront of maritime war-
fare issues, maintenance developments and
operational readiness factors impacting
the VS commu-
nity. From its
highly speci-
fied origins,
the VS mis-
sion expanded
to include a
diverse array of
missions, from
aerial refuel-
ing to employ-
S) ment of mul-
.' ....... tiple weapons
|systems via
the Maverick
Plus upgrade.
Retiring its
antisubmarine
warfare capa-
bilities in 2001, the S-3B Viking's prima-
ry mission became sea control missions
in contested littoral waters with a role of
locating, targeting, and neutralizing sur-
face threats to the U.S. carrier task group.
In 2006, even as it was being phased
out, the wing aggressively expanded its
mission, as 13 S-3B Vikings were modi-
fied to carry the Low Altitude Navigation
Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN)
system in order to fulfill non-traditional
intelligence surveillance and reconnais-
sance mission requirements in support of
global war on terror. Additionally, a video
data transmission system was installed to
facilitate the sending of all aircraft sen-
sor video to ground units equipped with
the Rover III tactical ground station. The
LANTIRN and video transmission systems
enabled the S-3B Viking to remain a viable
multi-mission platform until 2009, serving
across the globe to include the most recent
VS-22 detachment to Iraq in support of
Operation Iraqi Freedom.

ieters behold: Beware fiber
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
F or dieters, it feels like the world
-led by fat's evil twin, bread
is against you. If they want
to lose weight, dieters are made to
believe that they should have nothing
at all to do with bread. Not even any-
thing that looks like bread or rhymes
with bread.
Therefore, some dieters stop at noth-
ing: eating their hamburgers without
the bun, soup without crackers and
chocolate chips without the cookie.
That's why, when I discovered dou-
ble-fiber bread (worth half the "points"
of regular bread on popular diet plans
such as Weight Watchers), I felt like
I had just discovered a great secret,
the key to dieting success. At first, I
didn't wish to share my secret. But
Dustin was trying to lose weight, too,
so I introduced him to my new favorite
food group anything with extra fiber.
"You can eat two slices for the 'cost'
of one," I told him.
There are, of course, sound expla-
nations for why fiber helps you lose
weight. All of them boil down to this
- fiber makes you bloated. Fiber does
not break down into glucose the same
way that carbohydrates do.
Instead, it sits in the hollow of your
stomach, soaking up water and fat to
make you feel full. Then it slugs its
way to its destiny, soaking up more
things as it travels through your
intestines, until finally it . well,
you know, and you feel like you've
just sent a whole watermelon down
your digestive track. But the impor-
FROM THE HOMEFRONT
tant thing is the part about fiber not
breaking down into glucose. That's
what makes fiber almost a negative
calorie. You eat it and feel full, but it
counts for basically nothing.
"Why didn't we think of this before?"
Dustin said. "Why didn't anyone think
of this before? Maybe we should bottle
fiber in powder form and sprinkle it
on everything we eat!"
Dustin and I seriously considered
this option as we stuffed double fiber
bread into our mouths, and later when
we bought every item'at 'the grocery
store marked, "Now With More Fiber!"'
Soon after, terrible things began to
happen in our stomachs. The nois-
es alone were startling. Imagine two
steel beams slowly collapsing onto
one another, grinding and moaning as
they go. That's what it sounded like.
In fact, it felt like that, too. When
people heard the noises rising up from
my insides, they asked with worried
looks on their faces, "That wasn't your
stomach; was it?"
Then the bloating began. It started
in my stomach and worked its way
through, until I felt like I would belch
bubbles. It might not be coincidence
that "bloat" and "float" rhyme, because
by the end of it, if you had tossed me
in a pool, I could have floated. The
buttons on my jeans pulled the fab-
ric like silly putty. I felt like I had
swallowed the Big Apple, New Jersey
and Russia, too.
Dustin couldn't handle it. He swore
off double-fiber everything. But I was
a trooper, even if I did cut myself back
to consuming only 100 percent of the
suggested daily grams of fiber per day.
Eventually, my body adjusted. I
wasn't bloated anymore although my
stomach would become quite cranky if
I missed a dose of double-fiber bread.
One week, when I was visiting my
mother in Virginia, I ate several of
her homemade muffins, causing vio-
lent noises in my stomach again. But
I'm only eating 100 percent of the
daily recommended amount of fiber,
I thought. Had I miscalculated? Did I
have one too many pieces of bread?
"Weirdly, I'm bloating like I did
when I first discovered double-fiber
bread," I told my mom on the last day
of my visit.
"Oh, didn't I tell you," she said with
a smile. "These muffins have 50 per-
cent of your daily recommended fiber
in them. Isn't that fantastic? Fiber
helps you lose weight, you know?"
I wondered what kind of sick joke
fiber had played on me. Still, I con-
tinued to eat it. Because once the
pain and bloating had passed, I found
myself thinking, "Ah, that wasn't so
bad. And just one point! What a deal!"
Which doesn't mean fiber shouldn't
come with a warning label: And, well,
actually maybe it does. It's possible
that in my excitement over double-
fiber I could have consumed that, too.

Navy makes selection
board prep easier
By MCC(SW) Maria Yager
Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs
A new program announced by Navy Personnel
Command (NPC) Jan. 14 makes review-
ng records and preparing for selec-
tion boards easier by providing online access
to their official military personnel file (OMPF).
Web Enabled Record Review (WERR), announced in
NAVADMIN 011/09, allows Sailors to review documents
in their OMPF, which are the same documents reviewed
by selection board members when considering candidates
for officer advancement, selection for chief, senior chief
and master chief, and other selection boards.
"There's no substitute for empowering Sailors with
the benefits of personalized access to their official mili-
tary personnel file," said Jim Laudermilk, head, Military
Personnel Records Management and Policy at NPC.
Sailors can now access their WERR through Bupers on
Line (BOL) at https://www.bol.navy.mil.
- All active duty and selected Reserve personnel with a
BOL account and a CAC-enabled computer with appro-
priate certificates can now view their OMPF on line by
selecting the WERR option on the BOL main menu page.
This application also allows Sailors to download and print
service-record documents for personal and professional
use.
"[It is] very impressive, user friendly, and offers
easy access. I was extremely pleased with the avail-
ability of my personnel files in WERR and my abili-
ty to access and print copies of the things that I need-
ed," said Lt. Cmdr. Ricky Small, assigned to NPC.
Since WERR mirrors what is uploaded to the Electronic
Military Personnel Records System, recently submitted
documents may not yet appear in the-record. If documents
have been sent to NPC within the past 12 months, there is
no need to resend them. They are still being processed.
"The projected goal of WERR tool is to empower Sailors.
Offering almost instantaneous viewing of service-record
documents and providing the opportunity to notify NPC
of official corrections online improves records manage-
ment for the entire Navy and ensures records are selec-
tion-board ready." said Dwight Stanton, director, Military
Personnel Records Management Division.
I "There are unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting
days or weeks to receive the CD version of the OMPF in
regular mail," he added.

DD-214 now available online
From CNIC Fleet & Family Support Programs
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following
Web site for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online: http://vetrecs.
archives.gov/. This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy
of his/her DD-214 for employment purposes.
NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet
access to obtain copies of documents from their military files.
Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may
now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents.
Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form
180, which can be downloaded from the online web site.
Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC
to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans
for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was
designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records cen-
ters mailroom and processing time.
Do not be misled by this announcement.
The Web site allows you to enter information necessary to request DD-214's or
other military service information. A completed request is produced for printing. It
must be
signed, dated, and either faxed or mailed. You should not expect to receive your
documents via an online download feature.
Military personnel records are primarily administrative records and can contain
information such as: enlistment/appointment; duty stations and assignments; train-
ing; qualifications; performance; awards and medals; disciplinary actions; insurance;
emergency data; administrative remarks; separation/discharge/retirement (including
DD Form 214, Report of Separation, or equivalent) and other personnel actions.
Detailed information about the veteran's participation in military battles and
engagements is not contained in the record.
Most Official Military Personnel Files contain both personnel and active duty
health records, but this practice was discontinued by the service branches beginning
in 1992. See Military Medical and Health Records section on the website for more
details.
The National Archives's National Personnel Records Center (Military Personnel
Records) (NPRC-MPR) stores records of individual military service pertaining to for-
mer service members who no longer have a service obligation. Included are records
of veterans who are completely discharged (with no remaining reserve commitment),
or who are retired or
have died. Records are usually transferred to NPRC (MPR) within six months
after these events.
NPRC (MPR) does not have records of members who are still in the active or inac-
tive reserves, or in the National Guard. The records of each military service depart-
ment on file at NPRC (MPR) are listed under Location of Military Service Records on
the website.
The Department of Defense and the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) signed an agreement to make the .Official Military Personnel Files a per-
manent series. of records, transferred to NARA custody 62 years after the service
member's separation from the military. The new Archival Program Division at the
National Personnel Records Center now holds nearly 1.2 million official military
personnel files of former US Navy and Marine Corps enlisted personnel who served
between 1885 and 1939.
Also available are the-records of 150 "persons of exceptional prominence", including
former Presidents, famous military leaders, celebrities, entertainers and professional
athletes who served in the military and have been deceased for at least 10 years.

Peace Corps assignments
now open for China,'Mongolia
By David ,Leavitt
Public Affairs'Specialist
The Peace Corps is recruiting qualified teachers
for numerous university assignments around
the globe. Currently, there is a high demand for
skilled teachers with classroom and teacher training
experience in China and Mongolia. Peace Corps educa-
tion volunteers placed in China and Mongolia will intro-
duce innovative teaching methods and encourage critical
thinking in a variety of classroom settings throughout
the country. They may also work in curricula or materi-
als development, and train teachers in conversational
English, academic subjects, or instruction methodologies.
Patrick Sansbury, of Spartanburg, S.C., has served in
China for four months. "The opportunity to teach here is
an amazing one and I would advise any teacher to apply
for Peace Corps in China. You get to work with highly
motivated students who want to improve their English to
obtain a good job and to support their families."
As. part of its on-going effort to bring more skilled and
experienced volunteers to the field, the Peace Corps is
reaching out to mid-career and'retiring teachers who are
considering new alternatives to traditional retirement.
The ideal candidates have: a minimum of three years of
classroom experience; advanced degrees in teaching, edu-
cation, TEFL, English, primary or secondary education, or
linguistics; or teacher trainer experience. Other relevant
experience includes, working with adult literacy programs
or writing for literary magazines or newspapers.
Currently 114 volunteers are teaching'English in more
than 62 universities, including five medical colleges and
four vocational colleges. Peace Corps volunteers are known
as "U.S.-China Friendship Volunteers" to their students
and colleagues.
The Peace Corps/Mongolia program began with an.
English education project in 1991 d- has expanded to
include volunteers working in nu.nrous sectors directly
relevant to national development priorities. Peace Corps
volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of
age. There is no upper age limit. For more information, go

Furthermore, the team was
able to standardize several'
SAP documentation records;
develop the description of
the indoctrination (boot

draft SAP academy recom-
mendations. Like the SOP,
the standardized documen-
station forms and the train-

ally be implemented across
the Enterprise.
Once complete, these
projects are projected to
streamline and standard-
ize the SAP Enterprise -
resulting in a reduced cycle
time. All of thepe improve-
ments will in turn result in
increased productivity.

Home childcare bridges gaps for working parents
By Kaylee LaRocque
NAS Jax Deputy PAO
Since 2003, the NAS Jacksonville Child Development
Home (CDH) program has provided military fami-
lies quality childcare in a home setting both during
and after normal working hours. CDH homes, are inde-
pendent business enterprises operated by Navy certified
military family members in their homes. This program is
monitored and managed under the guidance of NAS Jax.
"The CDH Program is a subsidiary of the Child
Development Center. CDH providers can offer more flex-
ible hours of care than the CDC and each home can
accept only a limited number of children," explained CDH
Monitor Lisa Williams, who oversees every aspect of the
program here. "We are in place to hold the line when the
center may fall short. The center is open from 6 a.m. to 6
p.m. Our home providers are normally open from 6 a.m.
to 6 p.m. but they usually open up on weekends and some
provide afterhours care. We have one provider who is 24
hours, seven days a week."
"We currently have 11 on base and four off base and are
always recruiting quality people to provide child care both
on and off base. On-base providers are primarily used by
military families," continued Williams.
All home providers are trained professionals who must
follow specific guidelines and regulations mandated by the
Department of Defense and the State of Florida if they are
located off base.
"Being located on base is more convenient because it's
easier to become certified. When you live off base, provid-
ers must be certified through the Department of Children
and Families first," said Williams.
The first step for a prospective home provider off base
is to take a competency exam through the Department
of Children and Families. Then they must complete the
appropriate background checks and clearances through
the state and their home is inspected and certified. Once
the provider has their state certification, they can work on
their Navy certification.
"We conduct more background checks, fingerprinting
and put them through a five-day orientation class to learn
such things as CPR, basic first aid, blood borne pathogen,
child abuse training and much more. After all the training
is completed, our fire department, preventive medicine
and I go out and survey the home," Williams added. "Once
the home is set up and the provider has purchased her
liability insurance, they go in front of our board for recom-
mendation and the'certification is routed up to, the base
commanding officer for final approval and they are certi-
fied and can start their business."
One big advantage the Navy offers that the state doesn't,
:is use of the Lending Library which loans the providers
Stems to start up their business. The Lending Library
offers everything they need including pack-n-plays (which
are required for children six weeks to 12 months), cots,
cubbies, playpens, toys, books, etc; "Our providers should
"not have any start-up costs," said Williams.
The CDC maintains a waiting list called the, Central
.Enrollment Waitlist of eligible children who are in need

of childcare in the center or in homecare. Eligible parents
are enrolled in the Direct Subsidy Program that offers
lower rates based on total family income. There are six
categories based on income and it covers children from six
weeks to age 12. If the provider takes in children from a
civilian family, they can charge their own fees. Providers'
off base also accept vouchers from the state where the
state pays for their child care.
Once the new provider decides what kind of care they
can offer and when, the children and providers are
matched up through a database. Each provider can take
in six children, including their own, with two children
under the age of two. "Infant providers are definitely our
greatest demand. Infant providers can take in"three chil-
dren under the age, of two including their own children,"
Williams stated.
One new aspect to the CDH program is that providers
are now offered special incentives. "Several new incentives
are now being offered to help our providers and to help us
maintain qualified providers in the program.- We have a
transferring incentive where providers who are PCSing to
a new duty station receive $250 is they get certified at the
new command. The infant-only incentive allows provid-
ers to earn an extra $250 each month if they become an
infant-only provider for the Navy and report full enroll-
ment," Williams explained.
Another incentive allows providers who have been in the
program for 18 months to become accredited through the.
National Association for Family Child Care with an added
bonus of $500 each year they maintain the NAFCC certi-
fication.
For the several providers here, their businesses have
flourished and they seem to love what they do.
"I have a young son so this is a great way for him to
have other children his age around and with my husband
deployed in the military, this keeps me busy and focused,"
said Lydia Conley, who became a provider about five
months ago and who has four children of her own.
"This is a great business for me because I don't have to
go anywhere and am home with the children. It did take
a little time to get up and running because there is a lot
of training required but everything was step-by- step and
Lisa's been a great monitor, helping ,me with everything
I need," she continued. "I've been taking care of children
since I was a teenager. I've worked in.daycare before and
as a substitute teacher so this is what I really enjoy. I love
children and watching them grow."
"I started in this business when my oldest daughter was
12 and we had an unpleasant experience with daycare. I
became a stay-at-home mom but we needed some income
so we decided I should become a provider and offer a safe
place for other kids as well. I started when my husband
was stationed at Andrews Air, Force Base in Maryland
and becoming a state-certified provider. When we later
moved on base, I became certified through the military,"
said Dawn Cherry, an infant-provider on base and mother
of four children. "Then when we PCSed to Fort Worth,
Texas, I continued with the program. We came here two
years ago. The process is very easy to transfer. The pro-
gram is great and I love it here because there is so much
support and interaction with the other providers and our
monitor. The morale of our providers here is outstanding."
"Providers really have to want to do this because takes
a lot of time and effort. They have to be dedicated. They
have to have a love for children and respect for them-
selves. There are a lot of sacrifices to make in the home.
They are not babysitters, they are child care providers and
parents are assured that the provider is a professionally
trained individual who participates in on-going monthly
training for professional growth," expressed Williams. "We
have an exceptional group of providers in fact, we just had
our annual unannounced Commander, Navy Installations
Command Child and Youth Programs inspection and
earned a 100 percent mark. This proves that our provid-
ers are really taking their jobs seriously and that we are
doing a great job."
Of course, new providers are always needed. "We have
a great teamhere, but we are always looking for more
providers both on and off base. We need new, fresh and
motivational people. It takes special people to work with
children, she concluded.
If anyone is interested in becoming a home provider,
please contact Williams at 542-5381.

Hundreds of mili-
tary families from
NAS Jacksonville
and surrounding mili-
tary bases enjoyed a night
under the big top at the
annual Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey Circus
Military Appreciation
Night Jan. 24.
The night began as the
families headed down to the
arena floor for some early
entertainment and to meet
some of the cast members
before the lights dimmed
for the big show. The chil-
dren and their parents were
thrilled to meet the clowns,
acrobats and animals, try
on costumes, participate in
some of the acts and watch
an elephant paint a picture.
"Ringling Bros... and
Barnum & Bailey circus is
a proud sponsor of America
Supports You. As a long-
time supporter of America's
military communityy,
Ringling Bros. appreciates.
the sacrifices made by our
U.S. Armed Forces and their
families. As our way of say-
ing thanks, we are pleased
to provide Jacksonville with
a special night devoted to
spending time together as a
family and offering a special
ticket price that makes live
entertainment more afford-
able," said Heidi Keirn,
manager, event marketing
and sales for South Feld
Entertainment.
"We've been trying to
bring out family to the cir-
cus for the last three years
but haven't been able to
because, with both my wife
and I in the Navy, one of us
was always deployed. So this
is. great that our whole fam-
ily could spend some time
together here tonight," said
PS1(SW/AW) Rodney Locke
of Naval Hospital Jax.
The circus began with a
group of clowns perform-
ing followed by Guest
Ringmaster IT1(AW) Stacey
Thinn, the NAS Jax 2008
Sailor of the Year, who wel-
comed the crowd. As the
NAS Jax Honor Support
Team presented the col-
ors during the national
anthem, an elephant also
parade the floor displaying
the nation's colors.

CIRCUS: AUDIENCE GETS
TO PARTICIPATE BEFORE AND
DURING 'ZING, ZANG, ZOOM'
From Page 6
As the crowd cheered, the entire floor
was suddenly alive with performers and
animals showcasing their talents. This
year's theme, "Zing, Zang, Zoom" incorpo-
rated a little magic to the show as Alex the
Zingmaster used the magic words to make
Asia the elephant disappear in front of
the stunned crowd. Other magical events
included disappearing dogs and clowns,
,student wizards (children from the audi-
ence) who made their parents levitate and
a battle between Alex and the dreadful Mr.
-Gravity who kept trying to bring the show
-down.
Other highlights included flying aerobat-
ics by the Chi Chi Har family, two human
cannonballs flung across the arena, a
menagerie of dogs displaying their talents
and the Hernandez brothers jump roping
and flipping on giant spinning wheels. In
between each act, groups of clowns per-
formed numerous skits. Of course, there
were also the elephants, tigers, horses and
zebras.
"This was really awesome. The kids were
so excited about all this and loved meet-
ing the clowns and trying on costumes
before the show. And, I was thrilled to
participate as the guest ringmaster. It's
definitely an experience that I have not
had before and I'm very proud to represent
NAS Jacksonville," said Thinn.
"This is really amazing and great for
the kids to be able to come here and do
something recreational and meet some of
the cast members," added ADAN Samuel
Kibiko of VP-30 and a member of the base
Honor Support Team who presented the
colors to kick off the circus.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Circus will be in Jacksonville again in
January 2010.

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
St. Valentine's
marriage vow renewal
By Chaplain (Lt.) Thomas Bingol
NAS Jax Chapel
For many of our military families, the balance
between family and duty can become unbalanced.
The demands of training evolutions, deployment
work-ups, areas of responsibility, physical training, even
continuing education can take us away from the ones we
love so much. In the rhythm of work and daily life we
need to pause and hear these words, "Come away and
anchor deep."
There are times that
we need to be inten--
tional about caring
for our loved ones and
making those special
memories that sustain
our families during
periods of absence, of
deployment and of long
days when the watch
calls u's into the longer
hours of the night.
As St. Valentines,
Day approaches, you
can make this occa-
sion truly memorable
for yourself and your
spouse by renewing
your marriage vows.
For the past decade,

cial day where they can
spend special moments with the ones they love. Perhaps
it has been a while since we prepared a surprise for out
sweethearts. While the world offers cards, candy, flow-
ers, and a whole lot of "stuff' to commemorate Valentine's
Days we need to stop and ask ourselves, "Do we really
remember what that card said?" But if I were to ask, "Do
we remember the things that we have done together?"
That is a different answer.
Valentine's Day is a gift we are given to share with one
another. Nothing symbolizes that-connection like set-
ting time aside to make the moment special. Renewal of
marriage vows on Valentines Day is a celebration done
by many cultures and traditions.- This is a unique way of
expressing the couple's love fbr each other, renewing their
vows and commitment. This is how they do it. Come away
for a little while and anchor deep a love that you have
been given to share.
Blessings.

Separated from dependents?
Know your support
responsibilities
By Lt. Ryan Charles, JAGC
Are you a service member considering
a divorce or separation from your
spouse or legal dependents? Or are
will you be physically separated from your
spouse or legal dependents because you will
be stationed at sea or overseas? If yes, you
should be aware of MILPERSMAN 1754-
030, the Navy guidelines governing support
of dependents.
It is Navy policy that all members shall
provide adequate and continuous support
for their lawful family members and comply
fully with the provisions of separation agree-
ments and valid court orders.
MILPERSMAN 1754-030 sets forth the
following support scale to serve as a guide-
line in the absence of a mutual agreement or
court order: "
(1) spouse only 1/3 gross pay;
(2) spouse and one minor child 1/2 gross
pay;
(3) spouse and two or ignore minor children
3/5 gross pay;
(4) one minor child only 1/6 gross pay;
(5) two minor children only 1/4 gross pay;
(6) three minor children only 1/3 gross
pay.
Gross pay is calculated as basic pay and
basic allowance for housing (BAH), if enti-
tled. It does not include special pays, basic
allowance for subsistence, or income from
employers other than the Department of
Defense.
Remember, the guidelines only apply if
there is not already a court order or a mutu-
al agreement between the spouse and the
Sailor governing support. In other words,
-where a court has already set the amount
of support, the court order will effectively
trump the scale set forth in MILPERSMAN
1754-030. In cases where the Sailor and
dependent spouse have negotiated a support
arrangement, this arrangement will also
trump the guidelines. Practically speaking,
any mutual agreement between a Sailor and
pouse must be in writing, signed by both
-,parties, and notarized.
- Contrary to popular belief, the consequenc-
es of failing to support one's dependents can
be costly. Although MILPERSMAN 1754-
030 does not give commands the author-
ity to "force" or order the creation of sup-
port allotments, it does provide that the
member may become ineligible to reenlist or
extend their enlistment and they will be sub-
ject to administrative or disciplinary action
that may result in their separation from the
Navy, including court-martial proceedings.
Noncompliance with the guidelines can also
show up on fitness and evaluation reports.
Moreover, failing to support one's depen-
dents can have consequences that affect the
non-supporting Sailor's command, negatively
impacting mission readiness of their ship-
mates that is, having to respond to investi-
gations by the Inspector General of the Navy
or congressional inquiries. Additionally,
Sailors receiving BAH at the "with depen-
dents" rate who are not providing any sup-
port to their dependents are subject to pros-
ecution for BAH fraud.
A sailor who believes there are fairness
reasons why he or she should not be subject
to the guidelines can submit a request of
waiver of support to Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS). Waivers may be
granted for the support of a spouse, but not
children. However, Sailors remain subject to
the guidelines during the time a DFAS waiv-
er is pending. Also, a commanding officer
has discretion to withhold action for alleged
failure to support a child or children under
the following conditions: (1) where the loca-
tion and welfare of the child or children con-
cerned cannot be ascertained; and (2) where
it is apparent that the person requesting
support for a child does not have physical
custody'of the child or children.
As a final matter, dependent spouses keep
their "dependent" status, even when physi-
cally separated from the military member
in anticipation of divorce. Sailors should not
withhold dependent military ID cards from
their dependent spouses, even if they are
separated.
Dependent spouses are entitled to depen-
.dent military IDs and all dependent ben-
efits until such time as the Sailor provides
his or her Personnel Support Detachment
a copy of the final divorce decree, and the
dependent spouse is removed from the
Page 2 Dependency Application/Record of
Emergency Data.

port obligations, visit a legal assistance
attorney. For more information, call 542-

Center
now open
By Bob Johnson
Special Contributor
ax season is here and the free VITA (Voluntary
'. Income Tax Assistance) Tax Center is now open to
-L serve military taxpayers in Building 13 at the NAS
Jacksonville main gate.
: You will be served by knowledgeable volunteers who
have completed the 2008 VITA training and been certified
by Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
SAfter your tax preparer completes your return, it will be
checked by a second certified volunteer to ensure that it is
9s accurate as possible. Your return will then be e-filed so
you are ensured speedy processing by the IRS. On aver-
age, it only takes eight days to have your refund deposited
;electronically into your bank or credit union account.
Bring a voided check with you in order to provide the
correct routing number and account number for your bank
.or credit union.
Of course, you must bring copies of your W-2 and 1099
forms to ensure that there is no delay in processing your
tax return. Also bring any documents that indicate you
had federal taxes withheld and information for any deduc-
tions that you may take.
There is something new this year for taxpayers who
do not itemize their deductions. Bring in your property
:tax statement showing that you have paid you property
:tax during tax year 2008. If you are filing single, you can
reduce your taxable income up to $500. When filing joint-
ly, you can reduce your taxable income by up to $1000.
Since there was an economic stimulus payment last
year, Internal Revenue requires that you put on the
return the amount that you received. If you didn't'receive
:t-he correct amount and are due additional payment, this
information enables the IRS to include the additional
.amount as part of your refund.

An HH-60H Seahawk helicopter of the HS-3 "Tridents"
soars above the Gulf of Aden in support of the amphibi-
ous transport dock ship USS San Antonio (LPD 17). San
Antonio is the command ship for Combined Task Force
(CTF) 151, which conducts counter-piracy operations in
the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Red
Sea. Its mission is to support a lawful maritime order and
develop security in the maritime environment.

Antonio's first deployment," said Cox. "Our Sailors
are great people who do a great job every day, and
we're proud to be a part of this event."
San Antonio's Air Department provides HS-3 with
the manpower it needs to carry out the various CTF
151 operations. '"We provide safe ground support for
the aircraft with directing, landing and refueling,"
said ABHCS Richard Romious, the air department's
leading chief petty officer. "Our handlers make sure
the helicopters are chocked and chained to the hangar
or flight deck, and our fuels personnel provide quality
assurance through our refueling their craft."
San Antonio's crew spent weeks making the neces-
sary changes and configurations to prepare the ship
for its current mission. These changes allowed several
spaces to be available for use by the various embarked
units, including HS-3.
Although three helicopters from the squadron are
currently part of CTF 151, the rest of the squadron
operates from CVN 71 supporting maritime security
operations and Operation Enduring Freedom in the
North Arabian Sea.
San Antonio is the flagship for CTF 151 a multi-
national task force conducting counter-piracy opera-
tions in and around .the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea,
Indian Ocean and Red Sea. It was established to cre-
ate a lawful maritime order and develop security in
the maritime environment.

NMSC HQ names top Sailors for 2008
By MC (SW)
Arthur De La Cruz
N avy Medicine
Support Command
(NMSC) named
Administration Department
LPO, HM1 Angela McCabe,
its 2008 Sailor of the Year
(SOY). HM3(SW) Anthony
Rivera, with the NMSC
Centralized Credentialing
and Privileging Department
was selected as the 2008
Junior Sailor of the Year
(JSOY).
"What an incredible
honor to be selected I was
speechless," said Lacombe,
La., native McCabe. "To
be up with some amazing
Sailors and to be chosen -
wow! What more can you
say?"
McCabe wasn't the only
one who was proud of her
SOY selection.
"My kids, Rebecca and
JJ, made me a 'Sailor of the
Year' sign for my parking
spot at home," said the 15-
HM1 Angela McCabe HM3(SW) Anthony Rivera
NMSC 2008 2008 NMSC
Sailor of the Year Junior Sailor of the Year
year Navy veteran.
This milestone comes
on the heels of McCabe's
three-year reenlistment
ceremony that took place
in the backyard of NMSC
Commander Rear Adm.
Richard Vinci, on the banks
of the St. Johns River in
early December,.
"The scene was just gor-
geous," said McCabe.
"Lacombe, Louisiana, is a
long way from Jacksonville,
but with all the beauti-
ful oak trees .covered in
Spanish moss overlooking
the water, it reminded me
of home."
McCabe's children are
the latest generation in
the family to support the
military. Robert McCabe,
McCabe's grandfather,
served in the Army dur-
ing WWII, and two of her
uncles were Sailors.
"But, I am the first
woman in my family to join
the military," said McCabe.
"And my grandmother,
Clarisse Waller, who is 96,
loves seeing me in my uni-
form. It brings back mem-
ories for her. of when my
uncles served in the Navy
during the Korean War."
McCabe is currently
enrolled at the University
of Phoenix, pursing a
degree in early education.
She most recently partici-
pated in the CPO examina-
tion her first.
Rivera was honored to be
named the JSOY.
"I was excited to be select-
ed because it meant that
all my hard work paid off,"
said Rivera. "I'm also excit-
ed because this means so
much for my Navy career."
Earning JSOY is just one
more milestone in a very
eventful year for this young
San Antonio Sailor, who
was frocked to third class
petty officer in December.
Rivera also recently
returned from a two-month
temporary duty assignment
aboard USS DOYLE (FFG
39) his first sea-based
assignment since enlisting
in 2006. While assigned to
Doyle, he earned his enlist-
ed surface warfare special-
ist (ESWS) designation.
"Master Chief Simmons
offered me an opportunity
to earn my ESWS as a way
of the chain of command
showing their apprecia-
tion of me volunteering for
Operation Joint Warrior,"
said Rivera. CMDCM(SW/
AW) Roger Simmons. is
the ship's command mas-
ter chief. "Earning it was
just one of the many great
memories I have of being
deployed.
"I manned the rails for
the first time when we
pulled out of Mayport.
And I can't forget hitting
my head on my rack every
morning after reveille was
called. I also won't forget
trying to eat chow during
15-foot swells, or watch-
ing the sunset from the 03
level."
Ever a team player,
Rivera was part of the
ship's firing squad for five
back-to-back burials at
sea, and also played on the
ship's soccer team.
"We played against the
Latvia team in the rain and
won," said Rivera. "While
we were in Latvia, we also
participated in a POW
remembrance ceremony."
Rivera returned to
Jacksonville to learn of
his selection to third class
petty officer. He is current-
ly pursuing his associate's
degree, and he and his wife,
Elizabeth, are expecting
their first child this sum-
mer.
NPASE names East Shore Sailor of the Year
By MC1(SW/AW) Heather Ewton
NS Mayport Deputy Public Affairs Officer
M C1(SW/AW) Leah Stiles
assigned to Navy Public
Affairs Support Element
(NPASE) East Detachment
Southeast was selected as the
2008 Shore Sailor of the .Year
(SOY) for superior performance
and expertise in the newly-estab-
lished Mass Communication
Specialist (MC) rating.
Stiles has served in the Navy
for eight years, most of that time
as a photographer's mate .(PH),
until her former rate was dises-
tablished and merged with three
other former Navy rates, She has
been- a first class petty officer for
just under one year and took the
-n6ws of being awarded the honor
of NPASE Shore Sailor of the
Year with great pride and enthu-
siasm.
"When I heard the news, I
was overwhelmed and honored
MCI(SW/AW) Leah Stiles
to be chosen from 'the collection
of amazing Sailors whom I serve
with," said Stiles. "Nothing is
more humbling than that."
"We are all very proud of the job
Stiles has done there at NPASE
Southeast," said Lt. Anthony
Falvo, officer-in-charge Navy
Public Affairs Support Element-
East. "Her dedication, determi-
nation and leadership are truly
indicative of what it takes to be
successful. She is one of the best
and brightest the enlisted pub-
lic affairs community has to offer
and I am truly honored to call her
my 'Shipmate.""
Stiles' husband, YN2(AW)
Marlando Stiles is stationed at
NAS Jacksonville. Together, they
have four children and two mili-
tary careers to balance in their
household.
"I dedicate myself and give my
all to everything I do... I just try
to stay in the lines," said Stiles.
"Many times, those lines are
blurred, but I believe if I continue
to work hard as a Sailor, I am
teaching my children the impor-
tance of perseverance, commit-
ment and sacrifice at the same
time."
Her success was not something
that she just expected to happen.
She claims she owes everything
that she has achieved to her past
/
and present leaders.
"I have had so many great lead-
ers in my career to learn from,"
noted Stiles. "I am very thankful
for the time that they have put
into teaching me how to grow."
Her leadership is just as
delighted for her personal suc-
cesses and praised her for a job
well done.
"I couldn't ask for a better LPO.
She's an outstanding Sailor, lead-
er and role model who is extreme-
ly deserving of her selection as
SOY. Stiles' dedication to her
job, our Sailors, and the mission
makes her an invaluable asset,"
said MCC(AW/SW) Anthony
Casullo, leading chief petty offi-
cer, NPASE-E DET SE.
Stiles' package was forwarded
to Department of Navy Chief of
Information (CHINFO) for con-
sideration in the CHINFO Sailor
of the Year competition for 2008.
Her future plans include finishing
her degree in communications,
making chief and negotiating
orders overseas.
"Whether you are selected as
SOY or not, it is important that
you know your hard work is rec-
ognized and appreciated," added
Stiles. "Always give everything
you do, 100 percent of your
effort."

ABOUT THE S-2F TRACKER
Conceived in 1950, when
jet aircraft were replac-
ing propeller driven air-
craft in the Navy, the Tracker
nevertheless went on to have a
remarkably long service life. The
first Tracker flew in December
1952 and it was the first aircraft
design to combine the detec-
tion equipment and armament
to hunt and destroy submarines
- and operate from an aircraft
carrier.
Before Trackers went into
service in 1954, the U.S. Navy
had been using single-engine
Grumman AF-2 Guardians, work-
ing in hunter-killer pairs, with
one plane detecting and locating
enemy submarines and the other
actually attacking it.
Individual twin-engine Trackers
could do it all, as they were
equipped with radar, searchlights,
sonobuoys and magnetic anomaly
detectors (MAD) for detection and
location, and sub-killing weap-
onry that included depth charges,
homing torpedoes and bombs. The
outboard wing panels also folded
to the rear to facilitate movement
and storage on board aircraft car-
riers.
Production deliveries began
in 1953 and eventually 1,342
Trackers were built for the Navy
in 16 different versions. An
enlarged torpedo bay, enhanced
passenger and cargo capacity, lon-
ger range radar detection capabil-
ity, and continual upgrading of
electronic capabilities marked the
development of the S-2 series.
The Tracker became known as
the "Stoof', a corruption of the "S-
Two-F' designation. This compact
carrier-based aircraft provided a
capable platform for ocean patrol
and sub-hunting, and also served
as the basis for the "Trader"
transport and "Tracer" early-
warning aircraft.
With service delivery in 1957,
the Stoof variant C-1A "Trader"
performed carrier onboard deliv-
ery (COD). The Trader featured
a modified fuselage, but was oth-
erwise parts-compatible with the
U.S. Navy Photo
Tracker. The Trader was fitted
with easily removed seats for nine
passengers, and included sliding
bulkheads to secure cargo for car-
rier landings.
In 1958, the E-1B Tracer fea-
tured a large dorsal "saucer"
radome and three tailfins to com-
pensate for the wake interference
of the radome. The radome also
blocked the wings from folding
upward, so they were redesigned
to fold backward along the fuse-
lage in classic Grumman fashion,
The first S-2F-3 flew in 1959
and featured a fuselage stretch
of 18 inches, a larger tail plane,
and an increase in wingspan of
35 inches. It was bigger overall

ABOUT THE S-3 VIKING
-d4
In 1964, the Navy announced a require-
ment for a new carrier-based anti-
submarine 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, copi-
lot tactical coordinator (COTAC), acoustic
sensor station operator (SENSO), and tac-
tical coordinator (TACCO). All crewmem-
bers 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 war-
fare capabilities from improved mission
avionics and armament systems. Between
1987 and 1991, all east coast S-3A Vikings

NAS Cecil Field.
The improved S-3B Viking incorpo-
rated improved technology for increased
radar detection range and classification,
advanced acoustic processing, and support
measures, and has Harpoon missile capa-
bility. 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 ver-
satility of the S-3B enabled it to serve a
variety of roles. It flew hundreds of sea
surveillance missions to enforce the eco-
nomic blockade of Iraq and secure the seas
surrounding the battle groups. Mine detec-
tion was an especially critical mission in
the Persian Gulf. The S-3B also electroni-
cally monitored active missile sites prior to
air strikes.
U.S. General Services Administration
Perhaps the most important contribu-
tion of the S-3B was its airborne tanking
capability. In this role, it employed a hose-
and-drogue refueling system that assured
U.S. aircraft reached their targets. In rec-
ognition of its broad applications, the des-
ignation of the S-3B Viking squadrons was
changed from Air Antisubmarine Squadron
to Sea Control Squadron.

Jacksonville recently volun-
teered at the Navy Junior
Reserve Officer Training
Corps (NJROTC) drill meet
Jan 17 at Allen D. Nease
High School in Ponte Vedra
Beach, Fla.
Six NMSC Sailors lent
their medical skills to the
first aid station, while 95
other volunteers worked in
various areas supporting the
more than 600 cadets from
16 schools in North Florida
and Georgia who participat-
ed.
"This drill meet was a
huge success thanks to the
101 Navy and Marine Corps
volunteers," said retired
AVCM(AW) John Duffy, the
Nease High School naval
science instructor.
Duffy pointed out that
the volunteers represented
15 commands from NAS
Jacksonville, NS Mayport
and Jacksonville-area Navy
and Marine Corps recruit-

La Navy wife.
She talked about the life she
when first marrying her sail-

of her Sailor and loves with
him deeply, she also feels
disappointed in her life. She
expressed a lack of fulfillment,
direction and purpose.
"Here I am with the New

be all excited with energy for
a resolution but I have no
motivation for anything," said
Chrissie.

in 2007. This past December,

"Our station was locat-

area," explained Childress.
"We were literally right
in front of the squads as
they conducted their drill
routines. Fortunately, we
didn't see many injuries."
The other military volun-
teers were judges, test proc-
tors, concession stand opera-
tors and scorekeepers. "One
of the students approached
us with questions about the
Navy," said Childress. "She
was planning to join after
high school and was inter-
ested in the communica-
tions field, so we pointed her
toward MC1 De La Cruz."
NMSC's MC1(SW) Arthur
N. De La Cruz, though not
a corpsman, was assigned to
the first aid station.
"Tending to the woundedd'
may not be my strongest
suit," De La Cruz said.
"But I was able- to spend
some time with the student
who planned to join the
Navy, and more 'specifically,

educational benefits and
what she could expect as an
MC. I guess that's an advan-
tage of having Sailors and
Marines volunteer for these
drills to give our insight
to high school students who
are considering the mili-
tary. They get to hear all
the details that posters and
commercials just don't con-
vey."
The volunteers were on
site at 5:30 a.m. for early
morning preparations and
remained through the clos-
ing ceremonies, which began
at 4 p.m. Duffy said the vol-
unteer effort was key to a
successful competitive event
for such a large group of
high school cadets.
"It would be impossible
to run a 'successful drill
meet without the continued
support of' our active duty
Sailors and Marines," Duffy
said. "They can always be
counted on to give freely of
their off-duty time."

Prevent cycling injuries
By Diana Settles
Navy Environmental Health Center
U se these tipls on how
to prevent being
injured while bicy-
clingf
Personal Fitness
Prior to cycling, partici-
pate in a gradual condition-
ing program with emphasis
on stretching and strength-
ening exercises. A contin-
ued maintenance program
throughout the season is
beneficial.
Remember to warm-up
and stretch at least 5 10
minutes before cycling.
Contact a local MWR
Trainer for additional infor-
mation on cycling condition-
ing. Many MWR Facilities
provide safety/injury pre-
vention information regard-
ing preparation, condition-
ing, and training proper
cycling techniques.
Equipment
The biggest preventable
risk factor for bicycle head
injury is failure to wear a
bicycle helmet. Studies
show that helmets were
found to be 85 percent pro-
tective against head injury
and 88 percent protective
against brain injury.
Proper fit of the bicycle
is essential to maximize
rider performance and to
prevent overuse injuries.
At the knee joint, allow
approximately a 15-degree
angle on full extension.
When cycling, the knee
should not be placed in full
extension or hyperexten-
sion.
Bicycle safety equip-
ment such as lights and
reflectors, should be
required on all bicycles used
for training, recreation, and
transportation..
An "emergency" safe-
ty bag is recommended to
carry a cell phone or money
for a pay phone, insurance
card, personal ID card, an
emergency contact card,
animal protection devices
(such as pepper spray).
Other beneficial cycling
equipment includes wear of
brightly colored clothing /
safety vest, padded gloves
on handlebars, and well-
fitted and padded bicycle
pants.
Training/Technique
Be aware of prima-
ry risk factors for bicycle
injury, and practice safe
training techniques to
assist in preventing inju-
ry occurrence: excessive
speed, motor vehicle traf-
fic, fatigue, poor road condi-
tions.
Heavily loaded bicycles
may decrease the abil-
ity of the cyclist to respond
quickly to the avoidance of
potholes, broken pavement,
rider fatigue, and excessive
speed on downhill portions.
* Increased risk tak-
ing behavior (such as high
speeds on downhills) may
contribute to injury. ,
Be cautious at road
intersections; know and use
bicycle signage for turns.
Use all senses, espe-
cially hearing and seeing,
etc. Avoid the use of head
radios, and ensure vision is
not impaired.
Environment
Population based injury
rates are the highest dur-
ing periods when the larg-
est numbers of cyclists are
riding: months with good
weather, daylight hours,
and weekends. Fatal colli-
sions occur most common-
ly in urban areas. Roads
with speed limits of 55
mph or greater produce a
higher injury/fatality rate.
Weather related injuries
can be prevented by the use
of, appropriate clothing for
cold, wet, or hot weather.
Racing officials and cyclists
should be aware of envi-
ronmental factors (physical
terrain and traffic controls)
when selecting cycling
courses. Cycle during day-
light hours.
Alcohol consumption
should be discouraged dur-
ing any athletic participa-
tion especially cycling.
Proper hydration and
nutrition during activity is
recommended to prevent
fatigue and heat illness.
