Final
The VS era
in naval
aviation ends
By Clark Pierce
Editor
One day after .the disestab-
lishment of its last squad-
ron, Commander, Sea
Control Wing, U.S. Atlantic Fleet
(CSCWL) followed suit with a
Jan. 30 ceremony aboard NAS
Jacksonville.
More than 700 guests, most of
whom attended the VS-22 deacti-
vation the previous day, gathered
again to honor the accomplish-
ments of the VS community.
After recognizing former Sea
Control Wing commodores,
Commanding Officer Capt. Evan
Piritz introduced guest speaker
Vice Adm. David Architzel, prin-
cipal deputy to the assistant sec-
retary of the Navy for research,
development and acquisition.

Adan Manjarrez at the Jan. 30 disestablishment ceremony.
"In my career as a naval avia-
tor, I've accumulated more than
5,000 flight hours. I'm proud to
tell you that 4,300 of those hours
were behind the stick of the S-
3 Viking. My first deployment
was with VS-30 onboard USS
Forrestal. That was followed
by a tour as maintenance offi-
cer in VS-28 deployed onboard
USS Independence. Later on, I
returned to VS-30 for my XO/CO
tour," said Architzel.
"It's my honor to be here today
and shake hands with people in
the VS community whom I have
admired through my entire career.
My thanks go to Commodore
Piritz and his staff for staging
such a well-organized event com-
memorating the VP community's
contributions to naval aviation,"
he continued.
After sharing some favorite sea
stories from his VS deployments,
Architzel asked the audience to
never forget the spirit of flex-
ibility, commitment, perseverance
and adaptability that was infused
into each squadron by the Sea
Control Wing.
"Over more than 30 years, the
versatility of the S-3 Viking was
proven time and time again.
There was never a time when
the VP community and Lockheed
could not reconfigure the Viking
to successfully take on new mis-
sions."
"Our legacy runs deep, going
back to World War II when
German submarine wolf packs
were ravaging shipping lanes
between the U.S. and Europe.
The Navy responded with con-
voy carrier task forces that used
Grumman Avengers to spot and
target enemy submarines. Most
recently, four Vikings from VS-
22 were tasked to spot and tar-
get enemy IEDs, as well as per-

T he Navy's last S-3B Viking sea con-
trol squadron, VS-22, made its final
mark in aviation history Jan. 29
with its deactivation ceremony at NAS
Jacksonville.
Aviators, flight crews, maintainers,
friends, families, former squadron com-
manders and shipmates gathered in
Hangar 117 on a rainy day to honor accom-
plishments of the "Checkmates" one last
time.
"This week honors the end of the Navy
VS era that spans some 60 years. It began
with aircraft such as the Grumman TBM-
3 Avenger, AF-2 Guardian, S-2 Tracker
and finally, the Lockheed S-3 Viking, one
of which number 701 is displayed here
today," said VS-22 Commanding Officer
Cmdr. Stephen Fimple.
"It is an era that has seen missions
flown from aircraft carriers such as USS

BASH program protects aircraft and wildlife

USDA wildlife damage specialists used a variety of methods
to trap and relocate Canadian geese that attempted to take up
residence in 2008 near the main runway of NAS Jacksonville.
By Christine Bauer
NAS Jax Natural Resources Manager
KT keeping birds and other wild-
life away from the NAS Jax
unways is a major challenge
for both airfield managers and natu-
ral resources personnel. The NAS Jax
Bird-Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH)
program implements several tactics
to deter animals from venturing near
the runways and clear zones.
Vegetation management maintains
airfield grass height between eight
and 12 inches. If the grass is cut too
short, large birds such as osprey and
vultures are attracted to the small
prey animals they can easily see
below.
If grass is allowed to grow too high,
small songbirds will utilize the area
to flock and nest.
Elimination of standing water is
also very important to prevent birds
such as Canadian geese from settling
in the area. NAS Jax recently saw
a large flock of Canadian geese try
to make the runway clear zone their
new home. It is thought that this was
a flock of "golf course geese" that were
driven from their previous habitat by
Hurricane Faye.
In accordance with the base migra-
tory bird depredation permit, sever-
al attempts were made by airfield
personnel to frighten and disperse
the geese but the persistent birds
- turned almost immediately.
Because of the serious flight haz-
ard caused by these animals, there
was no question that they had to
be removed. Personnel from NAS
Jax Air Operations, Weapons and
Environmental worked together to
humanely capture the geese but
they were not having any of it.
As part of our BASH program, we
determined that outside assistance
from U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) wildlife damage specialists
was necessary. Using various meth-
ods, the USDA team successfully relo-
cated the flock. We are working on a
long-term agreement with USDA for
an on-site specialist.

,Tempted by the fruit of another lifestyle
By Sarah Smiley
special Contributor F U ll
J feel like a traitor. Here I am a
military wife the one, in fact,
who writes a syndicated column
and books about being a military wife
- and lately I've flirted with the idea
of not being a military family.
I have said those words you know,
the unthinkable ones for people in my
position "Honey, are you ever going
to get out?"
My husband only has nine more
years of service before he can retire
and immediately collect the mili-
tary's relatively decent pension for
-the rest of his life. Therefore, he usu-
ally "answers" my. question by leaving
It completely unacknowledged, as if
I've just asked him if he will run for
JPresident tomorrow or something.
' I understand his position. He has
Rained, worked and sacrificed (as
have I) for 11 years. It seems crazy to
1hrow it all away now, when his "20
years" is actually in sight. A military
Retirement literally means money in
-the bank and healthcare for the rest
"of your days.
So how can I possibly ask my hus-
:band the dreaded "are you ever going
,to get out" question?
To know, you'd have to understand
my position, too.
During the last 11 years, our family
has lived in 8 different places. I plant-
ed countless trees and shrubbery that
I never saw grow to maturity. I left
M ORF THE HOMEFRONT
behind pets (dead and alive). I made
friends, left them, made more friends,
and moved again. I had so many dif-
ferent mailing addresses, my alma
mater no longer knows where to send
their requests for money. (Not such a
bad thing, come to think of it.)
I sold and purchased real estate
seven times. Old our coffee table has a
row of different colored moving stick-
ers ptuck to the bottom of it.
Most upsetting of all, however, is
the fact that I measured my sons'
heights on four separate closet doors,
always painting over the markings
when it was time to move again.
Just the other day, I looked at my
son Owen, 6, and realized that the
jeans I bought him in August are
already two inches above his ankles.
"Wow, you've really grown," I said.
"How much?" Owen asked.
"Let's measure you and find out."
I took Owen and his two brothers,
Ford, 8, and Lindell, 2, into the bed-
room that Ford and Owen share.
"We'll mark your heights here," I
said, opening the closet door.
"But how will we know if we've
grown," Ford asked. "Our last mea-
surements are on the closet door in
Florida."
It was a good point. But I couldn't
think about it right then, or else I
might start to cry.

the Birmingham gate. Members are to report at 6:30 a.m.
in the uniform of the day and with military ID card in

DON'T TRASH YOUR BASE!
RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER!
I stood each boy against the back
of the closet door and marked their
height with pencil: "Ford, Jan. 2009;"
"Owen, Jan. 2009;" Lindell, Jan.
2009." Owen and Ford were and
always have been exactly two inch-
es apart. But there was quite a bit
of white closet door between Owen's
marking and Lindell's.
"Someday, I bet Lindell will catch
up to us," Owen said.
But will it be on this closet door, I
wondered. The kids got back to play-
ing Star Wars and I went up to my
bedroom to think. I'm tired of moving
my children from one place to anoth-
er. I'm tired of marking their heights
and then painting over it. I'm weary
of making new friends. Now I just
want to keep them and grow old with
them. When my boys go to college,
I want to find comfort in my friends
who knew the boys when they were
going to kindergarten and every grade
in between.
I want roots. I want my boys to say,
"This is the street I grew up on."
I want one closet door to be cov-
ered with the markings of children's
heights. Of course, I could always
mark their heights on something more
transportable than a closet door. Or I
could take the closet door with us.
But, well, that isn't really the point,
now is it?

HEY, MONEYCHICI
Hey, MoneyChic!
My husband thinks he thought of the most creative
way to stay a step ahead of the credit card companies. He
accepts offers of zero percent interest on balance trans-
fers, transfers our loan balances and once the teaser rate
ends, transfers the balance again to a new zero percent
offer. He's proud that we never pay interest on our bal-
ance. Somehow, I think it can't be this easy to skip out on
finance charges.
MoneyChic says: Good instincts my dear. The first
issue to consider is that with the fallout in the economic
sector, we are seeing a significant reduction in available
credit. Many of the zero percent interest offers are drying
up and with new regulations affecting banks, fewer cus-
tomers will be getting those types of deals in the future.
Also keep in mind that every time a new credit account
is opened, it affects your credit score. Even if balances are
paid on time and in full, too many new lines of credit will
pull down a credit score.
So, yes, there is a catch to your husband's scheme to
outsmart the creditors. There is no getting around the
best option of just paying down and eliminating your debt,
rather than a series of transfers.

P-3C Orion
crews soar
without,
'ever leaving
the ground
By ATAA Adam Thomas
Assistant Editor
P-3C pilots and aircrews are now training on the
cutting-edge Tactical Operational-Readiness
Trainer (TORT) at NAS Jacksonville.
The TORT allows flight crews to train at a level of real-
ism never before available in their training devices and
earn readiness points from sorties completed in the simu-
lator. The sophisticated system is designed to not only
train new operators, but also to maintain an operational
crew's proficiency without leaving the ground.
Built by L-3 Communications, Link Simulation &
Training, TORT is a high fidelity, computer-controlled,
real-time trainer that accurately simulates all surveil-
lance equipment found on the P-3C Orion aircraft. The
trainer includes crew stations for the tactical coordinator,
navigation/communications officer, acoustic and non-
acoustic operators, as well as a fully functional flight deck
for the two pilots.
"By placing a greater emphasis on simulation-based
training in the form of TORT, VP-30 aircraft can be bet-
ter used performing operational missions versus support-
ing costly aerial training," explained VP-30 Commanding
Officer Capt. Richard Fite.
"With the use of the P-3C TORT trainers, the U.S.
Navy has sufficient resources to meet its crew readi-
ness training needs on simulation-based devices," said
John McNellis, president of L-3 Communications, Link
Simulation & Training. "The need to conduct antisubma-
rine warfare or anti-surface warfare crew qualification
flights in the aircraft will be dramatically reduced, which
will lower training costs and extend the operational life of

TORT takes P-3C training to new heights by providing
flight crews the ability to search for contacts, identify tar-
gets, program and release weapons and pass vital infor-
mation into the Department of Defense global information
grid (GIG). The GIG is a complex system of networks

environment of the Tactical Operational Readiness Trainer.
The second-generation Tactical Operational
Readiness Trainers (TORT) while far more
advanced the the knob turners, still lacked the
LCD screens, working gauges and full-flight sta-
tion feel of the latest TORT.

which .links hundreds of information system
elements to enable the rapid exchange of
information among the U.S. military services,
intelligence community and multi-national
allies.
Furthermore, the GIG is a globally con-
nected, end-to-end set of information capabili-
ties, associated processes and personnel for
collecting, processing, storing, disseminating,
and managing information on demand.
The physical arrangement of the crew sta-
tion and the layout of controls closely repli-
cate that of the aircraft, allowing the develop-
ment of natural crew-to-crew and crew-to-air-
craft interactions. Each crew station provides
an environment that immerses the operators
into the scenario and allows for a more robust
training experience.
Additionally the flight deck has been repli-
cated to include useful flight station displays
and computers, electronically controlled flight
controls and aircraft seats. A 140-degree hor-
izontal field-of-view visual display system
allows for visual identification of targets, as
well as tactical employment of weapons.
Before TORT, P-3C crews initially received
training on the weapons system trainer, also
known as the "knob-turner," which simu-
lated antisubmarine warfare (ASW) only. The
knob turner limited'the pilot interaction to
turning three knobs located on the console.
Flight crews also received training on the
tactical trainers used only to simulate intelli-
gence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)
missions. TORT combines ASW, antisurface
warfare and ISR training into one simula-
tor, increases the overall fidelity realism and
enables crews to employ their systems in the
simulator precisely as they do in the actual
aircraft.
"I enjoy training in the TORT because
it allows the operators and pilots to train
together as a full crew, exactly as we would
in the real aircraft," said Zivotofsky.
Future enhancements for the TORT will
include the ability to conduct fleet synthetic
training. Fleet synthetic training uses the
GIG network connection to link different
platform's nation-wide in a joint simulat-
ed training mission. For example, a P-3C
crew at NAS Jacksonville, an Arleigh Burke
destroyer deploying an SH-60B helicopter in
San Diego and an aircraft carrier launching
F/A-18s off the coast can simultaneously work
together on the same simulated event instead
of conducting individual live exercises.
"Being involved with the testing and evalu-
ation of TORT, I am proud at how it has
evolved. TORT will be an important asset
to P-3 squadrons and the Navy. Working
on this project was a very rewarding experi-
ence," stated Davies.
With such advancements in simulated
training, P-3C Orion crews are more than
prepared to see the fleet through to the next
generation of antisubmarine warfare aircraft.
VP-30 Lead Fleet Projects Naval Flight Officer Lt. Brad Davies carefully manipulates the flight controls during a simulated training flight in
the Tactical Operational Readiness Trainer (TORT). Davies, along with his testing team and Wing 11 Weapons Tactical Unit, worked in con-
junction with L3 Communications and Naval Air Systems Command to ensure the TORT was ready for use in the fleet.

system used today.
The first-generation
(knob turner) train-
ers only allowed stu-
dents to manipulate

the simulation by
turning three knobs
located on the
consule. Each knob
would only allow for
different reaction

as climbing, turning

Caribbean faith, culture celebration
By MC3 Sean Allen o utes
Fleet Public Affairs Detachment Southeast -.
A Celebration of Caribbean Faith
/ and Culture was held Jan. 25 at
S A11 Saints Chapel aboard NAS
Jacksonville. The service was led by
Chaplain (Lt.) Tom Bingol and began with
a reading of the Caribbean nations, fol-
lowed by Caribbean hymns and dance.
YN2 Sheenah Thrasher, of Charleston,
S.C., is stationed at NAS Jax and per-
formed the Caribbean-inspired dance.
"God, faith and dance are all big parts
of my life, so it was a thrill to be able to do
the dance and participate in the service,"
said. Thrasher.
Bingol said, "We have, such a diverse
Navy family and there are many people
here with deep Caribbean roots."
Members from the United Caribbean
Cultural Association of Palm Coast, Fla.,
and the Grenadian Association of Palm
Coast were present for the service.
UCCAPC President Carlton Harrison
spoke about the impact of the service.
"This service is a great way for us to
share our heritage with others, at the end
of the day we all learn from each other," he
said.
Bingol first became involved with the
UCCAPC and the Grenadian Association
in 2004 after Hurricane Ivan struck the
island nation of Grenada. Bingol contacted

Ronald Robinson calls out the name of each
Caribbean nation during the special service
service held Jan. 25 at NAS Jacksonville.
Harrison and Ronald Robinson, .president
of the Grenadian Association, to see how he
might help. Bingol worked with the group
to raise funds for food, clothing and build-
ing supplies that were sent to Grenada.
"We have kept in touch with Chaplain
Bingol since that time," said Robinson.
"He is like family to us, so we were glad to
make the trip to Jacksonville to attend the
service."
The UCCAPC is hosting a Caribbean fes-
tival in Palm Coast June 27 and 28. Bingol

Making money: Blessing or burden?
By Wing Chaplain
(Lt. Cmdr.) Atticus Taylor I .. *mmm a s mAhBwm
Lately, virtually all
forms of media in
our nation are bom-
barded daily with messag-
es of deep concern and cau-
tion that consumers have
expressed regarding a less
than gleeful economic out-
look.
Some have pointed the
finger of blame to a variety
of causes behind the chal-
lenges we face most having
to do with exercising poor
judgment vis-a-vis the use
of our incomes toward the
goal of producing wealth.
While it would not harm
anyone to tighten their
:financial belt whether oper-
ating in tough or plentiful
times, it is necessary to
avoid identifying negligent
behavior with our necessity
for earning money. Since
its creation during ancient
times, countless myths have
been perpetuated about the
power of money to taint
anyone who handles it,
even people who normally
act otherwise.
However, there is great
danger in mistranslating
the New Testament pas-
sage that states, "For the
love of money is the root of
all kinds of evil." (iTimothy
6.3) When taken out of con-
text some people have the
tendency to believe that
this biblical verse estab-
lishes an inseparable asso-
ciation between money and
evil actions. This unfortu-
nate prevalent view is clari-
fied to a great deal in the
words of a Jerrod Mundis
who. wrote, "Like fire,
money itself is neither good
nor evil. It is
neutral; its
character is
determined by
the eye of the
perceiver, the
hand of the
user." In other
words, money
as an instru-
ment for the
exchange of
material goods Wing (
and services, (Lt. Cmdr.)
like everything
else in life, requires of its
user a degree of restraint
and discretion.
Cullen Hightower states,
"discipline without freedom
is tyranny; freedom without
discipline is chaos." No rea-
sonable person could suc-
cessfully argue that being
better stewards (manag-
ers) of all that the have in
the form of material things
would benefit both the indi-
vidual and our society in
general. The level of con-

"It is the Sea Control Wing's
enduring legacy of flexibility,
commitment, perseverance and
accomplishment that our Sailors,
chiefs and officers will take with
them as their follow-on orders
take them to commands through-
out the fleet. It's this, legacy that
will inspire our men and women
to continue to make great con-
tributions to the future of naval
aviation," said Architzel.
At its peak, Sea Control Wing
components included VS-22, VS-
24, VS-27, VS-28, VS-30, VS-31,
VS-32 and Sea Control Weapons
School. The command's small but
dedicated staff was charged with
maintaining the material and
operational readiness of the fixed-
wing, carrier-based sea control
squadrons.,
In his closing remarks, Piritz
thanked his' staff officers, chief petty
officers and Sailors who worked as
a team with longtime civil service
employees | to provide squadrons
with combat-ready aircrew.
"Many of 'our civilians have
more than 20 years of providing

rons. Thank you for a phenom-
enal job," he said.
"Finally, this is a day of con-
flicting emotions for most of us.

VS-22: NAS Jax sends 'Checkmates' off in style
From Page 1
"We also discovered the
depth of character in our
Checkmates when a fire
'broke out onboard the George
Washington. Checkmates
rushed to the aid of the ship
on the flight deck and below
decks manning fire hoses
and donning OBAs to join
fire teams in extinguishing
the fire. Officers pitched in
to help cook and serve chow
to tired and hungry Sailors.
Fighting the fire was a test
of our training and our spirit
of teamwork," Fimple told
the audience.
Less than a week after
returning from what they
thought would be their last
deployment, VS-22 was noti-
fied it would deploy to Iraq
in less than six weeks not
onboard an aircraft carrier
but to Al Asad Air Base,
Iraq, northwest of Baghdad.
"In only 45 days, we
learned to become an expe-
ditionary squadron and fly
four Vikings halfway around
the globe. We deployed near-
ly the entire squadron by C-5
aircraft to support our mis-
sions over the desert a feat

community. Within a week
of arriving in theater, we

VS-22 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Stephen Fimple is piped
aboard for the last time Jan. 29. He said in his remarks that
the S-3 Viking is the "best-kept secret in naval aviation"
because of its unmatched utility and versatility.
(Low Altitude Navigation
and Targeting Infrared for
Night) pods to locate impro-
vised explosive devices, con-
duct border surveillance and
provide full-motion video
to commanders throughout
Iraq. We flew more than 340
combat support missions
encompassing over 1,600
mishap-free flight hours in
Iraq -all with a 100 percent
sortie completion rate," said
Fimple. I
The guest speaker, retired
Capt. Danny Powers, is a
longtime member of the
VS community. Designated
a naval aviator in 1967,
Powers flew the S-2 Tracker
with VS-32. In 1974, he com-
pleted transition training to
the S-3A Viking with VS-28.
He joined VS-22 as executive
officer in 1977 and assumed
command in 1980.
"Like most people here
today, I'm proud to have
served with VS-22 and just
as sad that we now come
together for its deactivation,"
said Powers.
'He reviewed the evolution
of naval aviation antisub-
marine warfare from World
War II through the Cold War
era. "I was fortunate to have
flown both the Grumman S-2
Tracker, or 'Stoof,' and the
Lockheed S-3 Viking, or 'War
Hoover.' Sitting between
the Stoofs Wright R-1820s
with its props spinning just
a few feet behind your seat
was a unique and unforget-
table feeling. There are lots
of sea stories I could tell -
like the Cuban missile cri-
sis and astronaut recoveries,
as well as surveillance and
pilot rescue ops off the coast
of Vietnam. Instead, I'll just
say that the Stoof and its
crews were there when they
were needed."
But time and progress
change everything. In 1973,
all east coast VS squadrons
moved to NAS Cecil Field,
where VS-22 led the tran-
sition to the S-3A Viking.
Powered by twin GE turbo-
fans that delivered greater
speed, range and altitude,
the Viking also included new
technology and sensors to
counter the growing number
of Soviet submarines.
"Other significant dates
in VS-22 history include
1987, when the S-3B vari-
ant entered the fleet with
improved detection and
weapons capabilities, plus,
its airborne hose-and-drogue
tanker capability."
"In 1993, post-Cold War
era requirements broadened
the VS mission and squad-
rons were re-designated from
'antisubmarine' to 'sea con-
trol.' After Congress passed
laws allowing women in com-
bat units, VS-22 was the first
east coast S-3 squadron to be
assigned female Sailors.
"In 1999, a significant part
of the Viking's mission went
away when the ASW equip-
ment was removed from S-
3B. Many felt it opened the
door for the sundown pro-
gram because it relegated
the VS community to a tank-
er-only role.
"Instead, our talented offi-
cers and CPOs found new
ways to support battle group
operations. As recently as
2006, more than a dozen S-
3Bs were modified to operate
the sophisticated LANTIRN
system that allows them to
fly at low altitudes, at night
and under the weather to
track and attack ground tar-
gets with a variety of pre-
cision-guided weapons,"
explained Powers.
He concluded, "Just last
year, when Secretary of
Defense Robert Gates asked
who was ready to augment
the non-traditional intel-
ligence and reconnaissance
mission in Iraq on short
notice VS-22 got the
call. So instead of planning
time with their families for
Thanksgiving and Christmas,
the Checkmates packed for
a land-based deployment to
Iraq, where they wrote the
unusual final chapter in the
history of this command.
"We should all be extreme-
ly thankful for the unself-
ish service of these men and
women and for the sacri-
fices of their families. They
are truly carrying the bur-
den of our freedom. Thank
you and God bless America,"
said Powers.
In his closing remarks,
Fimple added, "It's a bit-
tersweet farewell for us to
deactivate this squadron and
close our chapter in naval
aviation history. I'm grateful
to Capt. Powers and the pre-
vious generations of the VS
community who established
the legacy of pride, profes-
sionalism and dedication
that shaped the Checkmates.
The vital importance of the
missions we conducted will
never be forgotten. I'll miss
the 'old Hoove' but most
importantly, I'll miss the
Sailors, chiefs, and officers of
the VS community."
Fimple then turned to
Capt. Norbert Szarleta, com-
mander, Carrier Air Wing
17, whom he saluted and
said,"Sir, the Checkmates
are deactivated. Request per-
mission to go ashore."

Corps (NJROTC) unit
enjoyed a first-hand look
4Jan. 16 at how the maritime

(MPR) community protects
American interests at home
and abroad during their visit
to VP-30, the "Pros Nest."
Their tour began with an
introduction to the mission
of the MPR community, fol-
lowed by an up-close-and-
personal look at a P-3C

squadron's spaces, includ-
ing an interactive demon-
stration of aircrew survival
gear. The cadets were able to
don survival vests, helmets,
exposure suits and oxygen
masks while learning the
importance of safety in naval
aviation.
The Lassiter NJROTC
unit includes students from
Lassiter, Pope, Sprayberry
and Kell High Schools in
Marietta, Georgia.
The Lassiter NJROTC
unit, instructed by Captain

years. The unit has traveled
to several Navy and Marine
Corps installations in the
southeastern U.S. to learn
about the missions of various
military commands.

emphasizes citizenship and
leadership development.
While laying the foundation
for personal responsibility,
it also provides cadets with
a sense of accomplishment
for completing a challenging
curriculum and participat-
ing in competitions such as
drill, rifle, academics and
color guard. The VP-30 Pro's
Nest appreciates the interest
and enthusiasm displayed by
these exceptional students
and looks forward to serving
with them' in the future.

T: he NAS Jax BASH (Bird-Aircraft
Strike Hazard) Working Group
meets quarterly with the NAS Jax
Aviation Safety Council to discuss safety
issues, along with active and passive mea-
sures to discourage wildlife habitation on
-or near the airfield.
Active measures include propane-pow-
ered noise cannons that randomly fire at
:both ends of a runway. Passive measures
include maintaining airfield grass at speci-
fied levels to minimize the attraction for
birds and mammals.
Bird and animal strikes are reported
by affected squadrons to the Naval Safety
Center via their Web-Enabled Safety
System (WESS). This information is dis-
tributed to naval air activities in avia-
tion hazard reports (HAZREPS). NAS Jax
reported five BASH HAZREPS in 2008
- down significantly from 22 reported in
2007.

In the meantime, NAS Jax continues
-to monitor wildlife activity on the base.
iLarge mammals, such as deer, coyote, and
,wild hog also pose haz- ,
ards to flight safety.
If populations of these
animals are allowed
to increase without
predation or hunting, --
they soon deplete hab-
itat food sources and
move to other areas
- which may include
,the airfield.
: The hunting pro-
gram, which is part of wildlife manage-
ment, plays a role in controlling wildlife
populations, while maintaining habitat
suitability. Hunting usually takes place
only on the outlying properties, but there
are occasions when a special archery hunt
on the main station is necessary to control
the deer herd.
In addition to these efforts, the NAS Jax
Public Works Department and forestry
personnel are, keeping the woods and air-
field clear zones well maintained with a
high-performance mulching machine called
a Gyrotrac..This machine allows us to min-
imize wildfire fuel loads in forested areas

Dr. Carter G. Woodson's impact
on Black History Month
From the NAS lax MEO
Office
D r. Carter G.
Woodson lived
and wrote in a
time when America con-
sidered itself to be Anglo-
White. African Americans
were kept apart from the
rest of American soci-
ety. At best, they were
treated as second-class
citizens. Woodson, in com-
bating such degradation
and to promote the value
of African American his-
tory, began to publish in
1916, the Journal of Negro
History.
The observation of "Negro
History Week" began in
1926, an initiative led by
Woodson, to recognize the
contributions of African
Americans to our country
and foster a better under-
standing of the African
American experience.
He chose the second week
of February to coincide with
the birthdays of abolition-
ist Frederick Douglass and
President Abraham Lincoln,
two people who had a dra-
matic affect on the lives of
African Americans. The
observation was expanded
to include the whole month
in 1976, and has since
become commonly referred
to as Black History or
African American History
Month. It is celebrated and
recognized as a Department
of Defense national obser-
vance.
What is most telling in
his work is his book, The
Mis-Education of the Negro
(1933), in which he renders
information about his expe-
riences with some of his
fellow "educated negroes."
He decried that some of his
fellow African Americans
would not buy goods and
services from black busi-
nessmen, because the edu-
cated African American was
taught the black person had
no value.
Educated African
Americans went back
to their community `ill-
equipped to teach each
other, for they acquired a
disdain for their own; thus
they became "mis-educat-
ed."
Woodson saw the edu-
cation that the African
American practiced in his
time as oppressive. He
believed in self-reliance as
a major component of self-
respect, making the black
person rise above their situ-
ation by their own merit,
and developing the African
American's natural gifts
whatever they maybe. By
being self-reliant and self-
respecting would the black
race be contributors to
American society and solv-
ing American problems? He
believed the! beginning for
the African American had
to start with self-worth.
The American culture
and the military have made
quite a transformation since
Woodson published his,first
book in 1916. President
Harry S. Truman imple-
mented Executive Order
9981 in 1948, which deseg-
regated the military. Today,
the image of America is not
a monolithic white-only
culture but a multicultural
pluralistic society.
Instead of melting other
cultures into the melting
pot to form one preferred
culture,- America has
become.a nation in which
the various cultures are
appreciated for themselves
to enhance our country.
Now the American dream is
open to all persons of vari-
ous nationalities, races, cul-
tures and creeds.
ASK THE TAXMAN
By Bob Johnson
Special Contributor
No matter what you.
hear, the Economic
Stimulus Payment
you received last year is
not taxable. The reason
you have to put it on your
2008 tax return is to deter-
mine if you received the
correct amount. You can go
to the web site: www.irs.
gov and have the amount
you were entitled calcu-
lated or you can make
an appointment at the free
VITA (Voluntary Income
Tax Assistance) Tax Center
for military taxpayers in
Building 13 at the NAS
Jacksonville main gate.
. To avoid delays in your
refund, -ensure that you
have the-correct amount
you received listed on your
return. Visit the Recovery
Rebate Credit Calculator
if you have forgotten the
amount of your rebate.
You would have received
a Notice 1378 telling you
what your rebate was and
if it was applied to other
debts.
Do not forget your Leave
and Earnings Statement as
of December 2008. This is
real important if you are
planning on filing Schedule
A for itemized deductions.
The deductions for state
and local sales taxes have
been renewed and you can
take the sales tax deduc-
tions on non-taxable
income. Also, you can add
the amount you paid in
sales tax on an auto, truck,
motorcycle, etc., on your
return.
Veterans, you can also use
the non-taxable VA benefits
for additional deductions.
Remember, you must item-
ize to take this deduction.
Bring your information and
let us see which is best for
you.
If your school failed to
complete Form 1098 show-
ing payments made to the
school on Line 1, check with
the school and have them
issue you a letter or some
other document showing
the correct payments made
to the school that qualify.
You can speed up the pro-
cess by bringing proof of
payment, such as cancelled
checks.
Remember, without this
proof, we are unable to pro-
cess your return with the
correct amount of credits.
If you are audited, you
would be required to pro-
vide this proof at that time.
Be ahead of the game and
get the information togeth-
er in advance.
The VITA Tax Center is
free to active duty military,
dependents, retirees and
any other personnel with
valid military ID cards. If
you have a question for the
VITA Taxman, please email

The Chief of Naval Personnel
(CNP) announced the estab-
lishment of senior enlisted con-
tinuation boards Jan. 24 as a means
to help shape the force.
"In an effort to stabilize and shape
the force, ensure continued advance-
ment opportunity, and retain our top
performers, a continuation board for
enlisted Sailors with over 20 years of
active service will be held for active
and FTS (full time support). The
board will be focused on retaining our
top performers serving in our most
demanding billets while also ensuring
continued advancement opportunity,"
said Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, CNP.
The annual board, along with sever-
al other force-shaping measures, has
been introduced as the Navy strives
to meet its congressionally mandated
end strength of 329,000 active duty
Sailors.
"Our intention is to stabilize our
personnel end strength at 329,000
from our current level of 331,000,"
said Ferguson. According to the mes-
sage, the fiscal year (FY) 2010 E7-E9
Senior Enlisted Continuation Board
convenes Sept. 21 at Navy Personnel
Command. Members not selected for
continuation will transfer to the fleet
reserve or retire no later than June
30, 2010. The board will review the
records of active-duty and FTS E7
through E9 personnel with at least 20
years of active service and three years
time-in-rate as of Sept. 1, 2009.
Exemptions to the FY-10 Senior
Enlisted Continuation Board include:
, Sailors with approved fleet
Reserve/retirement dates effective on
or before June 30, 2010;
Those with high-year tenure dates
on or before June 30, 2010;
Frocked personnel;
Those selected for advancement in
FY-10 boards;
Personnel selected for command
senior chief/master chief programs
from the FY-10 board;
Personnel with orders to or serv-
ing in the first two years of an over-
seas or DoD area tours at the time of
the board convening date;
Safe Harbor participants.
Additionally, personnel holding a
nuclear, SEAL (special warfare boat
operator, special warfare operator),
explosive ordnance disposal techni-
cian or diver enlisted classification
code, plus fleet, force and command
master chiefs are exempt from the
board.
Each eligible member is responsible
for ensuring their record is correct
and up to date with latest evalua-
tions, awards and other appropriate
information.
Candidates may communicate with
the continuation board by submit-
ting a board package. Selection board
packages provide candidates the
opportunity to submit any missing
documents from the sections of their
records that are viewed by the con-
tinuation boards. Packages must be
post marked not later than Aug. 17,
2009. Packages submitted to the E7
through E9 advancement selection
boards will not be presented to the
continuation board.
Further guidance on submitting a
board package can be found in the
NAVADMIN. Commanding officers
with personnel not selected for con-
tinuation will be notified so they may
personally and confidentially notify
the members.

NAS Jax Sailors participate
in World Cup event
By Kaylee LaRocque '"
NAS Jax Deputy PAO
Team Quicksand, comprised of six
Sailors from NAS Jax competed
in the North American Grappling
Association World Cup event Jan. 24 in
Boca Raton, Fla. Team members entered
several different weight categories in the
Submission Grappling events which is a
form of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling and
other martial arts.
Led by their instructor, MA2(AW)
Phillip Staats of the NAS Jax Security
Department, the team has only been
together for about six months and prac-
tices their skills three times a week before
or after work.
"Most of the people who were competing
do this full-time. We were competing with
some of the best people in the country. It
was our first competition and for several
of our team members to place is just out-
standing. They've worked really hard to
learn this sport," said Staats, who has been
involved in the sport for about 10 years.
Taking third place honors in their perspec-
tive categories were AMAN William Mastorio
(180-pound division) and AD3 Taylor Proctor
(light heavyweight division) both of VP-30
and placing fourth in the Featherweight
division was AT3 Greg Baker of Fleet
Readiness Center Southeast. Other team
members include: MA1 Nathan Ouellette
of the Security Department, ET2 Michael
Rodgers of Naval Hospital Jacksonville and
ADAN Larry Sanchez of VP-30.
"I wrestled for four years in high school
and really enjoy it. My friend and I heard
about this sport here and got in touch with
MA2 Staats and started training with him.
It's a great way to stay in shape," said
Mastorio. "This was our first competition.
The hardest part was cutting the weight
to meet my category. I had to drop eight
pounds. It was a lot of sweat and hard
work but I plan to continue competing."
"This is a new thing for all of us. We've
never participated in this sport before.
We just heard about it and MA2 Staat's
expertise and his accomplishments in the
sport. I've watched the Ultimate Fighting
Championships for several years and
always wanted to try it," added Proctor.
"It was a great experience competing and
I plan to keep going to tournaments and
vary my weight classes."
"I think the biggest thing that came from
us participating in the competition was
the reception we received. When people
found out we were in the Navy, they were
amazed because you usually don't see mili-
tary members at these events. Dozens of
people came up to us to find out what we
do and how we train. It's a great billboard
and recruiting tool for us to be at these
events," stated Staats.
According to Wikipedia, grappling refers

Special Contributor
T"7 atie and her husband hope to start
a family, but before they do, they
X realize a few things need to be in
place. Katie's doctor wants her to lose
weight and their finances need improve-
ment. Katie tried to lose weight before but
this year things are different. It is differ-
ent because she has a vision for her future
with goals and objectives to achieve it.
Katie has the keys to staying motivated;
clear vision/purpose, set goals with built in
incentives, and the support of her husband,
family and friends as well as an online
support system (www.sparkpeople.com).
Liz was walking down a different path.
Her poor eating, obesity and high blood
pressure was affecting every aspect of her
life. Her un-healthy ways stopped her from
doing things she enjoyed. Her poor menus
were affecting her husband's weight, as
well as the weight and activity level of her
children.
Her personal mission statement helped
her clarify what was important to her to
be there for her children, her husband, and
to be a role model of health and fitness.
Being a private person, Liz elected a differ-
ent approach. She established goals, armed
herself with solid nutritional information
and hired a personal trainer to keep her on
track.
Rena's personal mission statement led
her to focus on equipping her teenagers for
adulthood. Together, Rena and her hus-
band established goals and objectives to
support, equip hnd prepare their children
for future success.
Staying motivated to positively change
our lives requires a vision and purpose for

MA2(AW) Phillip Staats of the NAS Jax Security Department instructs AMAN William Mastorio
on how to apply a choke hold on AD3 Taylor Proctor as AD3 Greg Baker looks on. Staats is an
instructor in the sport of Submission Grappling and created a team from NAS Jax that partici-
pates in tournaments throughout the state.
to the gripping, handling and controlling
of an opponent without the use of striking,
typically through the application of various
grappling holds, choke holds and counters
to various hold attempts.
"Jiu-Jitsu and grappling in general is
pretty popular and a growing sport in the
U.S. It's a martial art that originated in
Japan actually through the use of judo.
It's basically the art of being able to defend
yourself when an attacker takes you to the
ground especially if that person is bigger
than you are. It teaches you how to avoid
taking punishment," explained Staats.
"The grappling part comes from being on
the ground and in competition, there are a
lot of ways to win. You can choke someone,
arm bar them, or use ankle, wrist or bicep
locks. In a competition, the opponent either
submits verbally or physically by tapping
out or the referee can intervene and end
the match."
"It is a legitimate sport and hopefully
will be in the Olympics soon. It's one of the
best sports there is because it promotes
team unity, conditioning and respect for
others," he continued.
"There are many grappling tournaments
all over the U.S. so we plan to compete in
many more," added Staats.
Of course, all this is done on their own
budget. The team pays for all their own
costs including hotels, gas, food, uniforms
and gear.
So how did the members come up with
the name, Team Quicksand? "We tried
to envision something that reflected our
style which we call Battleship jiu jitsu
to honor our naval service and our team
achieving our goals. Keeping that vision
before us helps us stay focused on the goal,
even through the challenging times.
Experts warn against making too many
sweeping changes at once instead, slow
consistent change affords the greatest suc-
cess. If you have big goals, break them
down into smaller goals with time lines for
achievement.
Communicating goals with those who
can support you is important. Family,
friends even online support groups can
help you stay focused and on track to suc-
cess. Www.goalsettingl.com is one of many
online goal-setting forums where you can
find others on a similar journey. Many
find encouragement, support and insight
through these forums.
A life-coach can be valuable in helping
you clarify your talents, values and goals.
A quick internet search will provide a list
of "life coaches" in your area, including
those specializing in military spouses and
families. Life coaches also provide support
and motivation to reach your goals to live
the life you want.
Living the life we want requires effort.
Taking the time to clarify what is impor-
tant to us is an exercise we will never
regret. The effort to become the person we
want to be is always worth it.
Join Beth this month on her 'internet
talk show, Navy Homefront Talk (www.
blogtalkradio.com/nht), as we explore goal
setting, mission statements and living life
with purpose.

fight one of us, that's kind of what goes
