HSM-70 'Spartan,
at NAS Jacksonvil
Atand up
By Lt. j.g. Sean Harrington
HSM-70 PAO
T he "Spartans" of HSM-70 will
be established as the first
operational MH-60R helicop-
ter squadron in the U.S. Atlantic
Fleet during a ceremony at NAS
Jacksonville today at 10 a.m. Cmdr.
William Walsh will assumed com-
mand and gain the honor of being
the plank owner commanding officer.
The Spartans will be the first of
four carrier air wing (CVW)-based
squadrons operating from NAS
Jacksonville.
Unlike traditional Helicopter Anti-
Submarine Squadron Light (HSL)
squadrons, CVW-based Helicopter
Maritime Strike Squadron squadrons
will be attached to the wing and will
provide assets not only to the sur-
'face combatants of the carrier strike
group, but will also deploy on board
the carrier. The expanded capabili-
ties of thie MH-60R "Romeo" coupled
with the new MH-60S "Sierra" of the
embarked Helicopter Sea Combat
(HSC) squadron will dramatically
increase the capabilities of helicopters
within the carrier strike group..
With its establishment, the
Spartans mark the beginning of many
firsts. The squadron is currently
scheduled to 'deploy with CVW-8 on
board the newly commissioned USS
H.W. Bush (CVN-77). This will be
the first deployment for the carrier
and mark the first time a CVW will
deploy with two helicopter squadrons.
HSM-70 will join its sister squad-
ron, NAS Jacksonville-based HS-3
as it transitions to the MHR60S and
becomes HSC-9. ,
For much of the squadron, this will
be the first opportunity to deploy on
board a carrier. This transition will
not be without challenges. However,
the Spartans are ready for the chal-
lenges that lie ahead.

"Reaching Out...
Cmdr. Kenneth Kopp
This sentiment is echoed by AWR1
Wesley Goodwin, "Being a prior HSL
crewman, I am looking forward to
challenges associated with integrating
a new aircraft into a larger ship-air
team. The paradigm shift we are now
experiencing is paved with hard work
and rigorous preparation and I person-
ally, am proud to be a part of history."
"The squadron faces many challeng-
es and exciting times ahead. I know
the men and women of this squadron
are ready to meet those challenges
head on. This is simply the finest
group of professionals that I have had'
the pleasure to serve with," added
Walsh.
The MH-60R is the Navy's newest
helicopter and will ultimately replace'
the SH-60B. The Romeo's primary
missions are anti-submarine warfare,
anti-surface warfare and command
and control warfare.
With upgraded radar, sophisticated
electronic support measures, Link 16,
and multi-spectral targeting system -
which combines forward looking infra-
red and day/night television cameras,
Cmdr. William Walsh
and the airborne low frequency sonar,
-the MH-60R is one of the premier
maritime helicopters in the world.
Walsh, a native of Fresno, Calif.
graduated from San Diego State
University with a bachelor's degree
in finance. He received his commis-
sion in 1991. After completing flight
training in 199M, he was designated
a naval aviator and reported to HSL-
41 at"NAS North Island, Calif. fdr
LjAMPS MK III flight training in the
SH-60B Seahawk.
His tours include HSL-51. HSL-41,
HSL-47 and HSL-19. Walsh earned
his master's degree in national secu-
rity and strategic studies from the
Naval War College, Newport. R.I.
His previous tour before arriving at
NAS Jacksonville was with the U.S.
Strategic Command in Omaha, Neb.
where he served as chief, Strategic
Mobile Communication Center
Management Branch.

Changing Lives."
Although the campaign proved to be
a huge success, some wondered how
the country's downward economic spi-
ral would affect this year's campaign.
"This year's campaign went extremely
well and much better than we thought
it would especially with today's econ-
omy. It really shows how much gov-
ernment employees care about what
goes on in their communities. They
reached into their hearts and gave,"
said NAS Jax CFC Chairperson CWO3
Charles Jakes of the NAS Jax Supply
Department, who has overseen the
campaign for the past two years.
"We also had more people volunteer-
ing to help this year. I'd like to thank
each and every one of our loaned exec-
utives for their participation, hard
work, diligence and perseverance to
make their goals," he continued.

the base services and amenities they will enjoy when they
move to Florida. Several personnel from NAS Jax visited
NAS Brunswick Jan. 29 to take part in an informational
fair.
NAS Brunswick
holds informational
fair to prepare for
move to NAS Jax
By MC2 David Hewitt
NAS Brunswick Public Affairs
M ore than 130 service members and their
families at NAS Brunswick attended an
informational fair Jan. 29 sponsored by NAS
Brunswick and NAS Jacksonville to,,help prepare
those Sailors moving to Florida whein the base closes
in March 2011.
Important topics such as timelines, housing and
morale and recreation were presented at the fair. The
NAS Jax group led by NAS Jax Commanding Officer
Capt Jack Scorby Jr., Morale, Welfare and Recreation
Director John Bushick. Fleet and Family Support
Center Director Carolyn McCorvey and other base
officials briefed the crowd about livixig and working
aboard the base and the many amenities available to
them.
VP-1I Commanding Officer Cmdr. Kevin McGowan
opened the event by reminding those in attendance
of the challenges ahead with the impending base clo-
sure and the steps to be taken to ensure the success-
ful transition from Maine to Florida. "This isn't just
a fair for VP-10. We want all NAS Brunswick Sailors
and their families to take advantage of the good infor-
mation being given out," said McGowan.
Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Five
Capt. James Hoke also spoke at the event, stressing
how challenging the upcoming transition will be and
the importance of being prepared.
One of the mos '-equently stressed about aspects of
,.oving is the logistical problem of housing, something
that Scorby addressed during his presentation at the
fair.
"As a result of ongoing construction to replace our
aging housing: there will be somewhat limited base
housing available for new Sailors coming to our area
this summer." he said. Over the course of the next
two years, 494 of our 532 houses will be torn down and
replaced with new construction and the first of these
new houses will be begin coming on line this March,"
said Scorby.
"Jacksonville is one of the most Navy-friendly cit-
ies I've ever been stationed in," he continued. "We're
a part of the community and landlords and renters
know that. The local real estate market couldn't be
better. Whether you're in a position to rent or buy,
NAS Jacksonville is in a very good position for hous-
ing."
Scorby's presentation also included information
about public schools, base child development and
youth centers, fitness center and the Navy's largest
hangar which is currently under construction and is
expected to be ready for operational use this summer.
"I came here to learn a little bit about the move we'll
be making in a few months," said AWF3 Jason Tillage
of VP-10. Even though he has been stationed at NAS
Jacksonville before, he came to hear the message that
was put out. "'All in all, I'm excited," he said.

HEY, MONEYCHICI
Hey, MoneyChic!
My 21-year-old son recently applied for a gas
company credit card and his application was
denied. When he checked his credit report,. he dis-
covered my ex-husband opened a TV cable account
using his name and social security number. He
then ran up charges of $320 and didn't pay the bill.
This is reflecting on my son's report and in turn,
hurting his ability to obtain credit. It's hard to
see this happen to him, when he is young and just
building his own credit identity. What can we do to
right this wrong?'
MoneyChic says: According to the Federal
Trade Commission, it's not uncommon for victims
of identity theft to know the perpetrator. Sadly, it's
often a relative, co-worker or friend. (Don't get me
on my soapbox to talk about the greed in our soci-
ety that has people stooping to this level.)
The first step your son should take is to contact
the gas company and tell them he is a victim of
identity theft.
Next, alert the credit bureaus. This can be done
online or over the phone. To err on the side of cau-
tion, have your son also send a letter documenting
the situation, via certified mail. He should also
consider filing a police report, even though this will
be emotionally difficult, considering it was perpe-
trated by his father. Just remember that repairing
damage to a credit score is tricky, but doable.

Yet, for all their blessings, they

too. My friend knew that. He was the
one in the wheel chair, but that didn't
make other people's broken hearts,
for example, hurt any less.
I am grateful for my ability to walk,
but that doesn't mean that sometimes
my feet don't hurt.
Maybe my critics' husbands, unlike
mine, come home every night. Maybe
they've stayed in a home long enough
to build equity and pay off their mort-
gage. And still, they were complaining
to me about their healthcare costs.
See what I mean? We could do
several rounds of this stuff. There
is always a worse case scenario.
And knowledge of such might give
us greater perspective, but it clpesn't
take away our immediate struggles.
In closing, however, it's important
to note that military wives in particu-
lar have an unhealthy restriction on
their feelings.
"You signed up for this when you
married him," people tell us. Or, "How
dare you complain when your hus-
band is serving his country." None of
which makes us feel any better when
we pack up a house for the second
time in three years.
If you perceived last week's column
as ungrateful or whiney, it's time to
step back and realize all the things
you have that I do not. Then ask
yourself if you've always remembered
to be grateful for those things, too.

Tips for
modifying
a child
support order
By Frank Swaggard
Legal Intern
When a court issues an order for
you to pay child support, you
must pay that amount. However,
personal circumstances may change. For
example, you and the other parent may
agree to a different amount, you may lose
-your job or face a pay cut. You cannot sim-
ply stop paying the court-ordered amount.
You must request an'd be granted a
modification from the court of your child
support order before making any adjust-
ments to the regular amount. The same is
true for the custodial parent who wishes to
increase the amount paid by the non-custo-
dial parent: the custodial parent must file
a motion to modify with the court and seek
a new order. If you would like to modify
your child support obligations, or the obli-
gations of the other parent, there are some
important things to know.
A court will not alter orders for child sup-
port if the same facts that existed when the
order was entered exist when the modifica-
tion is sought. Simply put, there must be a
significant change in your circumstances,
or the circumstances of the other parent,
before a court will modify any order for
child support.
The change must be a truly significant
change and something that was not consid-
ered by the court when the original order
was entered.
Support orders can also be temporary.
Many courts will allow for a temporary
departure from their original order when
the justification for that departure is itself
temporary. For example, temporary incar-
ceration may merit a temporary reduction
in the support order.
What constitutes material and substan-
tial changes varies from state to state, but
some of the more common factors are: (1)
increased needs caused by advanced age
and maturity of the children, (2), increases
in expenses, (3) inflation, (4) relative finan-
cial condition and earning capacity of the
parents, (5) health and special medical
needs of the children, both physical and
psychological, (6) health and special medi-
cal needs of the parents, both physical and
psychological, (7) necessary living expens-
es of the father, (8) estimated amount of
income taxes the respective parties must
pay on their incomes, and (9) free use of
residence, furnishings and automobiles.
If you think you qualify for a modifica-
tion of a support order, the best place to
begin is with the clerk of court for the fam-
ily court that issued the original order. The
clerk can instruct you as to which forms
you should fill out and how to properly file
them. In fact, many courts now provide the
appropriate forms on their websites and
include instructions for their completion
and filing. Forms of this nature can be
long and complicated. The most important
thing to keep in mind is to be thorough and
as accurate as possible. You should have a
copy of the original support order with you
when completing your forms. After the
motion to modify has been appropriately
filed, you will need to notify the other par-
ent. You can do this in most jurisdictions
by obtaining a notice form from the same
clerk or website. Notice is an essential
step in the process, and failing to provide
it will have your request denied from the
outset.
When you've followed all of the appro-
priate steps, the family court will usu-
ally grant a hearing and allow you to plead
your case for a modification of the support
order. Be sure to appear in person and
articulate the specific material changes
that justify the modification. Be complete-
ly open and honest with the court. Be
prepared to show reliable documentation
proving the change in circumstance. This
can include pay stubs, bills, or doctor/medi-
cal facility treatment information.

Two S-3B Viking air-
craft from recently
deactivated VS-
22 took off from NAS
Jacksonville Feb. 5 and
flew to their new home with
Air Test and Evaluation
Squadron 30 at Naval Air
Weapons Station, Point
Mugu, Calif.
VS-22 Commanding
Officer Cmdr. Stephen
Fimple said, "We're pleased
to see that four of our
Vikings will avoid a flight
to the boneyard and keep
contributing to Navy battle
readiness by transferring to
VX-30."
The "boneyard" Fimple
referred to is Aerospace
Maintenance And
Regeneration Group, an air-
craft storage facility adja-
cent to Davis-Monthan Air
Force Base near Tuscon,
Ariz.
At 8 a.m., VX-30 Chief
Test Pilot Cmdr. John
Rousseau entered the VS-22
"Checkmates" ready room
for a pre-flight brief with
VS-22 Executive Officer
Cmdr. David Shaffer and
other aircrew.
After the briefing,
Rousseau said, "At VX-30,
one of our duties is to moni-
tor and clear the Pacific
missile test range of sur-
face ships and air traffic.
The S-3 will be a perfect
fit because of its robust
radar and LANTIRN (Low
Altitude Navigation and
Targeting Infrared for
Night) pod. It's an excellent
big-picture platform for our
surveillance and reconnais-
sance tasks. With its faster
speed and sophisticated
detection equipment, the
Viking will augment mis-
sions currently performed
by our squadron's P-3 and
C-130 aircraft."
Rousseau, along with
about a dozen VX-30 pilots
and aircrew, trained for
weeks in the S-3B simula-
tor at SeaControl Weapons
School aboard NAS Jax.
The simulator will soon be
disassembled and moved to
Naval Air Weapons Station,
Point Mugu.
Rousseau's S-3 experience
includes a tour with VS-38
and serving as an instructor
with VS-41. "Today I get to
share the cockpit of Viking

try flight to Point Mugu.

Celebrating relationships
on Valentine's Day
By Beth Wilson
Special Contributor
F ebruary is the 'month of romance.'
A quick look at the history of
Valentine's Day and St. Valentine
reveals a military connection. Spouses,
get ready!
The history of Valentine's Day is rooted
in both Christian and pagan traditions and
has multiple legends sur-
rounding this holiday. One I
legend details Valentine's
Day's military roots.
Roman emperor, Claudius
II decided that single men I N q
made better soldiers than
those with wives and fam-
ilies. As a result he out-
lawed marriage for young
men his target segment
of potential soldiers. (Have
we not all heard the old
adage, "If the Navy/Army
wanted a sailor/soldier to
have a wife it would have
been issued with their sea/ Beth
duffle bag?") Valentine, convinced of the
injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and
performed secret marriages for the young.
When Valentine's actions were discovered,
he was put to death by order of the emper-
or.
-There are other legends surrounding
Valentine's Day but all have romance and
marriage at the 'heart' (no pun intended).
Personally, I think Valentine's Day is a
conspiracy;by the card, candy, jewelry and
florist industries.
When I was single, I hated Valentine's
Day.All the gifts bestowed upon my friends
just fueled my disdain for the holiday. Now
that I am married, well, isn't it amazing
how marriage (and life) can change our
perspective? What I regret from my single
days is that I appreciate that Valentine's
Day isn't just romance but a celebration of
love; the love of family, friends, children,
(my dog), and now my husband.
\ Ant that brings me to celebrating
Valertine's Day when our service mem-
ber is deployed, or on duty. on that 'day
-of romance.' My first Valentine's Day as
a military spouse was spent apart. Scott
W
was on a work-up and, would you believe,
would be back two days after Valentine's
Day. Way to ruin my first Valentine's Day!
I found 'subject matter experts' (transla-
tion: seasoned spouses and service mem-
bers) for advice ,on celebrating our love
even though apart. Jodie Arden, Navy
spouse Deployment Specialist at FFSC,
Oceana (VA) and veteran of many holidays
apart says, "Keep your traditions. If you
go out to dinner and a movie, take a friend
and do the same. thing." Patty LeClair,
CNRSW Ombudsman says, "Remember,
every holiday can be recreated. The 'day'
isn't as important as the 'celebration' of
that holiday."
Shannon Milder, for-
mer active duty and Site
Manager for FFSC, Murphy
Canyon (CA) related her
.: i best Valentine's Day. "I
was single but seeing
someone. This gentleman
crafted a wonderful letter
of what he planned for us
for Valentine's Day when I
got back from deployment.
That letter meant so much'
to me because he took time
to plan, not only demon-
strated his care but gave
Vilson me something to look for-
ward to through the rest of deployment."
Cheryl Caldwell, seasoned spouse and
former Ombudsman, encourages us to
manage our expectations and talk to our
spouses. She and Jodie agree talking in
advance will enhance our ability to cele-
brate all holidays impacted by deployment.
Jill Johnson, military spouse, ombuds-
man, and FRG and ombudsman trainer at
FFSC, Murphy Canyon, adds, "Plan ahead.
Planning for you, your children and your
spouse will help you manage expectations
and enjoy your celebration."
Tilly Haughen, a military spouse for 36
years, wraps it up with, "Deployment is
all the more reason to celebrate the love
of your spouse. Celebrate in your way,
whether writing a love letter or sending
something special to each other. It isn't the
price of any gift. It is the love behind that
gift. Celebrate that love."

Navy band spreads
the 'sound of music'
By MCI Gino Flores
Special Contributor
Navy Band Southeast
(NBSE) continues its
tradition of playing all
the right notes and spreading
the music. Established in 1995
to support official functions,
recruiting events and community
relations, the Navy band mem-
bers are adept at playing to audi-
ences with wide-ranging musical,
tastes.
"Ceremonial support is the bread
and butter of the band's mission,"
said Lt. Chuck Roegiers, NBSE
director. The band performs at
official military functions such as
change of commands, retirement
ceremonies and Morale, Welfare
and Recreational events.
"Additionally, we serve in a pub-
lic affairs and community relations
capacity working with Commander,
Navy Region Southeast," said
Roegiers. '"We put a positive face
on the Navy. It's our job. We get
out there and spread goodwill in
the community for our current
members and veterans."
"The band provides morale,
esprit d6 corps and patriotism.
We give them a thank-you that
sometimes can't be said with
words. I feel that's very important
to our veterans," he continued.
"These guys did their bit for God
and country and .too often they
go un-thanked. It means a lot to
me when someone comes out of
the blue and says, 'thank-you for
serving.'"
The Navy band also plays a
large role in recruiting efforts.
Roegiers said that by scheduling
performances in high schools and
colleges, they help generate inter-
est among a target audience in
speaking with Sailors, talking to
recruiters, and emphasizing the
message that, "there's a very good
career for you here in the Navy."
There are approximately 14
Navy bands worldwide in a com-
munity of fewer than 700 Navy
musicians.
NBSE has 45 positions and is
currently undermanned. Roegiers
commented on how difficult it is
to keep the bands fully manned.
He described how Navy musicians
are always rotating, which keeps
them fresh and working hard.
He explained, "qualified musi-
cians who work well in a mili-
tary environment are hard to
come by... think about the nature
of music and the nature of mili-
tary service; there is a disconnect
there with a lot of people." He
explained however, "My musi-
cians are very special folks. They
are able to walk that tightrope
and thrive in that environment."
NBSE, includes a concert band,
marching, band and several,
ensembles, including woodwind,
brass, jazz combo and a contem-
porary entertainment ensemble.
"We call our rock band our
contemporary music ensemble
because people sometimes attach
a negative connotation to the
term rock band, but it's basically
a rock band," Roegiers said. "They
go out and do a lot of recruiting.
We've done six recruiting tours

integral part in the band.

over the last half year or so."
"This is not like a high school
band," said Roegiers. "We work
our tails off, and these are pro-
fessional musicians who could be
working on the outside playing in
nightclubs and festivals or teach-
ing but have chosen to serve their
country."
Operations Coordinator MUC
Joe Rundell, who tracks the num-
bers of performances and audi-
ences reached by his Navy bands,
said that last year his team of 40
Sailors performed in 568 events
for just over a million people.

Navy musicians specialize in music
versatility and this includes playing
Latin rhythms like salsa and cumbia.
This flexibility makes them more
marketable in different music styles.
Navy musicians play for a local audi-
ence wherever they are. NBSE has
performed in Georgia, South Carolina,
Puerto Rico and Cuba.
"This is one of the last gigs that you
can get paid to be a full-time musi-
cian and go on the road and not have
to leave your family for two years at
a time," said MU3 Gene Register,
vocalist, keyboard and guitar player
for the Navy rock band Pride.: "You
get to play with some of the, greatest
musicians in the, world and there are
advancement opportunities there for
[Sailors] who truly want to advance.
There is a bright future here."
A native Floridian, Register, who
is now in his second year with the
NBSE; admits that he developed an
interest in the band after seeing them
perform while attending air shows as
a child.
He elaborates on his routine as a
musician for the Navy.
"Schedules are set three to four
weeks in advance whether there is
a gig coming up or rehearsal," said
Register.
"We have a large parade coming
up during the Gasparilla festivities
in Tampa. Our main job in the rock
band is recruitment and the group
will also be performing in local high
schools and colleges."
In addition to supporting local
military, ceremonies and perform-

Character
counts
By Chaplain (Lt.) Buster Williams
A s we think about changes in the world such as
technological, cul-
tural and politi-
cal -we can be over-
whelmed at trying to
keep up. Then there are
changes in our personal
lives, such as deploy-
ments, PCS moves, fam-.
ily situations, personal
growth or setbacks.
But, in the midst .
of change itc-is always :
comforting to know .m
that some things never
change.
It is our core values
that carry us through Chaplain ( Buster Williams
the winds of change Chapain (t.) Buster Williams
whether that's the changes around us or thechanges
within our personal lives. As members of the greatest
Navy in the world, we all share the core values of honor,
courage, and commitment..
Have you ever really stopped to reflect on what these
values mean and why they are so important?
I believe one major reason these values are considered
"core" is because over the years it has been demonstrated
that the character of our Sailors and Marines is an abso-
lutely essential component for mission accomplishment.
It is what makes our Navy not just the most powerful in
the world, but the greatest in the world.
You see, greatness is not just the power to. do but also
the manner in which you choose to employ that power.
Take the NFL Super' Bowl for 'example. Both the Arizona
Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers can be considered
"great" football teams because of their talent that got
them to the Super Bowl. Yet, beneath the surface of that
talent pool lies the issue of character. And that charac-
ter is what each of those players will take with them for
the rest of their lives. Yes; the Steelers will always have
their Super Bowl rings to wear. But wearing that ring can
never replace the character demonstrated day i ii and day
out in how we interact with our family and how we choose
to live your lives.
The difference can be seen in the contrast between two
football celebrities: O.J. Simpson and Tony Dungee. O.J.
Simpson.was a great football player (one of the best run-
ning backs to ever play the game). But poor decisions
resulted in his conviction for- serious crimes; and now, he
is serving time behind bars. Tony Dungee is a revered
NFL coach who was the first African-American coach to
lead hiA team to a Super Bowl victory. What was it that
inspired so many NFL greats to want to play for Tony
Dungee? Was it that he knew how to lead his team to vic-
tory? Surely that was part of it, but just as significant
was the issue of character. Players and coaches alike have
testified that it was Tony Dungee's character that was the
secret to his greatness as a coach. In the end, character
c mounted and our character is based on what we value in
life.
.What about you? What are your core values? Surely
among'them should be honor, courage, and commitment.
But what do these values mean and how do they play out
in your life? I encourage you to take some time to reflect
on how these values can and should shape your character
as an individual, as well as our collective character as the
"greatest" Navy in the world. I tharik God for the privi-
lege of serving in a Navy where character counts.

It gives individuals the opportuni-
ty to better'understand themselves,
develop a healthier sense of personal
responsibility, and gain a new per-
spective on life and relationships.
A prerequisite is the willingness to
truthfully look at one's life and the
courage to make decisions as to how
that life will progress. Be ready to
spend a weekend undisturbed by out-
side distractions, where you can fully
devote yourself to assessing where
you are spiritually, how to nurture
yourself, and gain a vision of where

spiritual journey of others and incor-
porate that into your own goals for
growth.

Annual luncheon
honors African-
American culture
Black history
celebration
By Clark Pierce
Editor
H hundreds of Sailors
and civilians broke
bread together
at the NAS Jacksonville
Officers' Club Feb. 5 to
honor "The Quest for
Black Citizenship in the
Americas" at the annual
Black History Month lun-
cheon sponsored by the
NAS Jax Multi-Cultural
Awareness Committee.
Master of Ceremonies
SK2 Stacey Myers wel-
comed the guests and intro-
duced SK2 Zipporrah Moss,
who sang the national
anthem with great emotion
and respect. Another tal-
ented singer, Vickie Farrie,
garnered a -lot of "amens"
with her performance of
"For Every Mountain."
In his, invocation, NAS
Jax Command Chaplain
(Cmdr.) Gerald Felder told
the audience, "Freedom
does not automatically per-
petuate itself. As we cele-
brate the accomplishments
of African-Americans, we
say, amen. We celebrate
freedom and equality. We
celebrate unity and diver-
sity that makes us all one
within you. Lord, bless this
gathering, bless this food
and bless this fellowship."
In his opening remarks,
NAS Jacksonville Com-
manding Officer Capt. Jack
Scorby Jr. said, "African-
American history has
always been a vital part of
American society. Learning
and understanding cultural
differences is vital to the
American concept of suc-
cess through teamwork. As
the Navy moves forward,
our ability to recruit, train
and retain talented people
is critical to sustaining mis-
sion success."
He continued, "Our
Navy history recognizes
the heroism and leader-
ship of African-Americans
who have served in every
war since the American
Revolution. Petty Officer
Dorie Miller was awarded
the Navy Cross for his her-
oism on board USS Virginia
during the attack on Pearl
Harbor. Master Chief Carl
Brashear, whose struggle
to become a Navy master
diver was recounted in
the motion picture 'Men of
Honor.' Adm. Paul Reason,
who became the Navy's first
black four-star admiral in
1996. Rear Adm. Lillian
Fishburne, who became
the first African-American
female promoted to flag
rank in 1998.
In conclusion, Scorby said,
"Today we honor the signif-
icant contributions to our
great country of an impor-
tant group of Americans. Of
all the important events in
our history, the year 2009
will be remembered for the
inauguration of our first
African-American president
and commander in chief -
Barack Obama."
Guest speaker Michael
Payne, a Jacksonville
native, counts 20 years
; in developing faith-based
initiatives for black com-
munities in Alabama and
Florida. He formerly led
the City of Jacksonville
Office of Faith-based
Community Partnerships.

Month appreciation from NAS Jacksonville Commanding
Officer Capt. Jack Scorby Jr. Payne told the audience, "To
realize our quest for better educated and motivated black
children, we must inject God into the equation."
churches.
"The last time I stood
before you, I wore the hats
of both a politician and
a preacher. Today I am
solely a preacher who has
examined the direct corre-
lation between the plight
of the nation of Israel, as
depicted in the Bible, and
the quest for people of color
in this country to gain full
and equal access. Facing
overwhelming odds and
armed only with faith in
God black preachers
began the quest to change a
cultural and political mind-
set in America. After more
than 40 years of achieve-
ment, the man in the White
House looks like us ,- so
where do we go from here?
"While it is good that
America demonstrates that
the tenets of democracy are
alive and well, the quest
is not over. Looking at our
community, we not only
must march down streets,
but also march down aisles
to high school graduation
ceremonies. We must also
inject God into the equa-
tion. We must extol our
community to believe that
we all are children of God
who have the right to live
in freedom and safety," con-
cluded Payne.
Guest speaker Reginald
Brown, a Jacksonville
city councilman, is execu-
tive director of the Project
Reach Foundation. He also
serves as a warrant officer
in the U.S. Army Reserve.
"Some folks ask why we
continue to associate with
the past. Why can't we 'get
over it' and move forward.
I answer that when we
look at the history of black
Americans, it teaches what
I call the '3-D' philosophy
desire, discipline and
determination. Our new
President Obama summed
this up as 'yes we can,"' said
Brown.
He presented milestones
in black'history, includ-
ing the arrival of African
slaves in the New World,
America's Civil War and
Emancipation to Brown vs.
Board of Education, Civil
Rights Act of 1964, and the
election of Barack Obama
in 2008.
"For well over 400 years,
in spite of our situation,
there was a spirit among
our men and women who
were willing to fight and
die for hope. When I think
about President Obama, I
ask, 'now what?' As a city
councilman, it hurts me to
know that while a black
man now leads our coun-
try only 48 percent of
African-Americans gradu-
ate from high school. Did
Barack Obama's election
fulfill Dr. King's dream?
No, but it was another mile-
stone, a milestone for the
world. Our new commander
in chief needs our help. So
we need to be active in our
communities and talk with
our children to make educa-
tion our first priority."
Brown concluded, "The
glory of African-American
history is the desire, dis-
cipline and determina-
tion to change the 'future.
Now it's our time to decide
what legacy we will leave
for following generations.
It all starts at home with
our children. Get them to
understand that there's
only one true way up and
that's through education."
"I encourage you all to
help our president build a.
strong nation by planting
the roots of knowledge in
our local neighborhoods."

visits VP-30
By Lt.j.g. Lou Gerard
VP-30 PAO
SC commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic, Rear Adm.
Richard O'Hanlon visited VP-30 Jan. 28 to meet
with Commander,. Patrol and Reconnaissance
Wing Eleven Capt. Kyle Cozad and VP-30 Executive
Officer Cmdr. Michael Doherty.
During the meeting. Doherty briefed O'Hanlon on VP-
30's mission and its success in producing nearly 450 quali-
fied pilots, flight officers and enlisted aircrewmen last
year. 'We believe that tlhe strength of our community is
the crew concept." Doherty said. "And, it all starts right
here." Doherty also mentioned VP-30's outstanding perfor-
mance on its most recent maintenance inspection, as well
as the transition timeline to the P-8.
Cozad then briefed the admiral on the productivity of
Wing 11, focusing on anti- submarine warfare (ASW)
training opportunities that, affect the proficiency of P-3
crews performing their primary mission.
"It is my opinion that if you don't have a P-3 on station,
you don't have ASW," O'Hanlon said of his experiences as
the commander of Strike Force Training Atlantic in regard
to the importance of P-3s in hunting submarines.
Cozad also spoke about the Base Realignment and
Closure Program, which will bring four P-3 Squadrons
from NAS Brunswick to NAS Jacksonville. He highlight-
ed the efforts of Wing 11 to help the transition, including
setting up information fairs for the Brunswick commands
to ease the move to a new homeport.
Following the briefs, O'Hanlon was given a short tour
of the squadron spaces. In the hangar, he presented the
Navy Air Medal to AWF2 Douglas Trump, as well as Navy
and Marine Corps Achievement Medals to AW01 Zebulon
Martin and AD2 Brian Lefferd.
O'Hanlon, who took command of Naval Air Force
Atlantic Jan. 13, is a Navy pilot who has logged more
than 4,000 flight hours in more than 30 different aircraft,
including some time in the P-3 Orion. The admiral is now
responsible for all logistics and administration for the
more than 40,000 men and women who operate six air-
craft carriers, more than, 60 aircraft squadrons and more
than 1,000 aircraft.

FRCSE receives Rockwell Collins PBL Award
By Frank Taormina
FRCSE Public Affairs
Fleet Readiness Center Southeast
(FRCSE) was presented the
Rockwell Collins Performance
Based Logistics (PBL) Award at a cer-
emony Feb. 3.
Mark Bailey, program manager for
Rockwell, presented the award to FRCSE
Commanding Officer Capt. Tim Matthews.
The award is in recognition of "Excellent
Performance and Superior' Customer
Service" during the five-year partnership
between Rockwell Collins and FRCSE for
F/A- 18 Cockpit Displays.
Chris Kopp of the business office at
FRCSE opened the ceremony, thanking
everyone in attendance for coming before
introducing Bailey. Bailey mentioned when
the partnership started five years ago,
there were 583 backordered cockpit dis-
plays and after only 15 months there were
no back orders, thanks to the management
team and the artisans at FRCSE.
Bailey said, "After only 18 months of this
partnership there was 100 percent avail-
ability for the cockpit displays. There was
absolutely no hesitation from the Rockwell
Collins team to re-new our partnership
with FRCSE for the next five years, with
an option for another five years after that."
Matthews, accepting the award on behalf
of the command, stated, "This is a great
example of government and industry join-
ing forces to keep the warfighter flying. It
means more jets on the flight line and on
aircraft carriers." Matthews went on to
say, "I wish all projects were this success-
ful."
Rockwell began its first "full blown" PBL
partnership with FRCSE in 2004 and was
recently awarded the "Secretary of Defense
Award" for its outstanding performance
of the PBL contract. This project became
the "benchmark" PBL for Naval Inventory
Control Point.
FRCSE originally agreed to a turn-
around-time (TAT) of 30 days and has met
that agreement with and average TAT of
24 days while being at or below cost. This
partnership means $3 million and 30,000
direct labor hours annually to FRCSE.
A PBL is a partnership between public
and private industry that provides sup-
port capability. This is a major shift in the
traditional approach to product support,
allowing true focus on warfighter readiness
and the execution of the mission.
PBLs create a win-win-win situation.
They are a win for industry because of
business growth, a win for FRCSE because
this is a successful example of supply chain
management, and a win for the warf-
ighter because there is improved avail-
ability, improved time-on-wing, reduced
backorders; and reduced cost of ownership.
FRCSE currently has 11 active PBLs. and
five of them have won the Secretary of
Defense PBL Award.
The Navy Exchange helps its cus-
tomers pay for their children's col-
lege education through its A-OK
Student Reward Program. Four times per
school year, four students will receive a
$5,000, $3,000, $2,000 or $1,000 U.S. sav-
ings bond (denominations at maturity).
The next drawing will be held at the end
of February.
Any eligible full-time student who has a
B-grade point average equivalent or bet-
ter, as determined by their school system,
may enter the drawing. Eligible students
include dependent children of active duty
military members, reservists and mili-
tary retirees enrolled in first through 12th
grade. Dependent children without individ-
ual Dependent Identification Cards must
be accompanied by their sponsor to submit
their entry. Each student may enter only
once each grading period and must re-
enter with each qualifying report card.
To enter the drawing, stop by any NEX
with a current report card and have an
NEX associate verify the minimum grade
average. Then fill out an entry card and
obtain an A-OK ID, which entitles the stu-
dent to discount coupons for NEX products
and services.
The Navy Exchange Service Command
(NEXCOM) has been offering students
a chance to win a savings bond through
its A-OK Student Reward Program since
1998. Since the program began, NEXCOM
has awarded $460,000 in savings bonds to
152 students, thanks to the help of its gen-
erous vendor partners.
DD-214 forms now available online
From CNIC Fleet
& Family Support Programs
The National Personnel Records
Center (NPRC) has provided the fol-
lowing Web site for veterans to gain
access to their DD-214's online: http://vet-
recs.archives.gov/. This may be particular-
ly 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 person-
nel records system to request documents.
Other individuals with a need for docu-
ments 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 normal-
ly occur when NPRC has to ask veterans
for additional information will be mini-
mized. The new web-based application was
designed to provide better service on these
requests by eliminating the records centers
mailroom and processing time.
Do not be misled by this announcement.
The Web site allows you to enter informa-
tion 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 docu-
ments via an online download feature.
Military personnel records are primar-
ily administrative records and can contain
information such as: enlistment/appoint-
ment; duty stations and assignments;
training; qualifications; performance;
awards and medals; disciplinary actions;
insurance; emergency data; administra-
tive remarks; separation/discharge/retire-
ment (including DD Form 214, Report of
Separation, or equivalent) and other per-
sonnel actions.
Detailed information about the veter-
an'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 dis-
continued by the service branches begin-
ning in 1992. See Military Medical and
Health Records section on the website for
more details.

S-3: To be used at VX-30 for range clearance and surveillance missions
From Page 4
Maintainer AT1 Jeremy Ralston will fly in
our back seat," said Rousseau. "The crew
of Viking 700 includes Lt. Cmdr. James
Pabelico, Lt. Cmdr. Pete Antonacci and
maintainer AE2 Joel Donaldson."
In the weeks ahead, Shaffer will return
to Point Mugu to assist Rousseau with ini-
tial training of VX-30 aircrew.
According to the NAVAIR Maritime Patrol
and Reconnaissance Aircraft Program
Office, VX-30 approached Cmdr. Terry
Johnson, S-3 deputy program manager, last
fall about harvesting radar from deactivat-
ed S-3Bs to use in their P-3A Orions.
"We suggested that instead of taking
the radar out of the S-3, they could benefit
by transitioning the entire aircraft," said
Johnson.
The S-3 will be used at VX-30 for range
clearance and surveillance missions. "That
was one of its primary missions for the
Navy to quickly locate and identify sur-
face contacts," said Johnson. "Its APS-137
ISAR radar is fantastic for that mission."
Inverse synthetic aperture radar allows
the S-3 to identify and track surface craft.
The crew can tell from the radar picture
whether they are looking at a large mer-
chant ship or a small boat.
Johnson said the Navy has also identi-
fied potential uses in the civilian arena
for the S-3 as well. NASA Glenn Research
Center in Cleveland, Ohio, is one example
of an organization giving the S-3 new life.
The Fleet Readiness Center Southeast
at NAS Jax worked with engineers from
NASA Glenn and Lockheed to enhance the
plane by adding commercial satellite com-
munications, global positioning navigation
and weather radar systems. NASA uses
the S-3 to conduct environmental monitor-
ing and aviation safety research.

'Navigating NSPS' training
By Mary Anne Tubman
CNRSE Public Affairs
As the demands of national
security have increased, the
Department of Defense (DoD)
and the Navy have addressed the
need to become more progressive
and competitive employers through
a responsive civilian personnel man-
agement system.
In 2006, DoD and the Navy began
conversion to the National Security
Personnel System (NSPS), and most of
the installations within Commander,
Navy Region Southeast (CNRSE)
began operating under NSPS in 2007.
Employees were introduced to the
fundamentals of NSPS through NSPS
101, which is still available through
Navy Knowledge Online (NKO).
This year, NSPS training offers two
new courses Navigating NSPS for
Employees and Navigating NSPS for
Supervisors. The eight-hour classes,
presented via video teleconferencing
(VTC), are tailored specifically for the
Navy. Like NSPS 101, the training
is required for all civilian employees
under NSPS and for all military per-
sonnel who supervise these employ-
ees.
Each training session is conducted
by human resource operations person-

nel from installations throughout the
region, and reviews and explains new
procedures established through NSPS
for how civilians are hired, assigned,
compensated and promoted. Topics
include human capital transforma-
tion, a conversion overview and NSPS
fundamentals, including classification
and compensation.
Training is offered two days
per month from February through
September, with one session for
supervisors and one for employees.
Each course begins at 9 a.m. EST.
Most forward-deployed detachments
within CNRSE have VTC capabili-
ty. Training announcements, includ-
ing registration forms and deadlines,
are distributed by CNRSE Workforce
Development at NAS Pensacola, Fla.
prior to each class.

Be your own best Valentine
By Kay Blakley
DeCA home economist
Although this month's
most notable date is
Valentine's Day, you
might have noticed signs,
banners and special events
proclaiming "Everyday is
Mom's Day" at your local
commissary.
The brainchild of
DeCA Director and Chief
Executive Officer Phil
Sakowitz, the campaign is
the commissary's way of
saying, "Thanks for all you
do!" to a customer demo-
graphic that represents 80
percent of daily commissary
shoppers.
"Moms are the heartbeat
of our military communi-
ties," Sakowitz said. "But,
they often put themselves
last on a long list of family
obligations. Let's see what
we can do to put them first
for a change."
As with any organiza-
$1 *
tion, when the boss speaks,
employees listen.
So, commissaries around
the world have sprung into
action with special prices
on "pamper me" products
along with demos on how to
Raise a happy child
From FFSC
j oT T w to maintain your sanity while rearing
a happy, well-adjusted child' is a series
L Lof four seminars offered at the Fleet and
Family Support Center (FFSC) March 2. 9, 15 and 23
at 1:30 p.m.
This philosophy of raising and teaching children
allows adults to be happy, empowered and more
skilled in interactions with their children. Love and

is intended for parents of children from infants to age

The techniques taught in this program are simple.
practical and easy to use and the seminars are fun
and humorous. This practical and straightforward phi-
losophy is backed with 30 years of experience from the
experts, Jim Fay and Charles Fay. They use humor,
hope and empathy to build up the adult/child relation-
ship. Do not miss this- opportunity. Class size is lim-
ited so call early to register at 542-2766. ext. 127.
use them.
Samplings of indulgent,
but healthy treats like choc-
olate-dipped strawberries,
giveaways of pretty posies
to lend a touch of spring
to your windowsill, and
the opportunity to enter
a sweepstakes for an all-
expenses-paid trip to a spa.
Activities vary from store
to store, so watch for spe-
cial events planned at your
commissary location.

Cut your car
expenses with
these alternatives
From North Florida Transportation
Planning Organization
According to the Automobile Association of
America's "Driving Costs of 2008," your cost for
auto insurance, financing, fuel and depreciation is
almost $16 per day.
Try reducing your vehicular expenses by using an alter-
native transportation mode a couple times a week for your
commute to work.
Share a ride with someone, take the bus; bicycle or (if
close enough) walk to keep some green in your wallet.
Learn more about alternative transportation on the
North Florida Transportation Planning Organization
(TPO) commuter services website: www.cooltopool.com.
If you live in Duval, Clay, Nassau,
St. Johns or Baker County and car-
pool, bike or walk to work three times
a week you are eligible for a free
emergency ride home when you regis-
.-0 ter with the North Florida TPO.
When an emergency arises and you
must leave work before your carpool
you'll get a free taxi ride (maximum
of four per year). For unexpected inclement weather, bik-
ers and walkers will also get a free taxi ride home.
Use the savings calculator on the cool to pool website to
see how much you spend on monthly and yearly commute
costs. The results may convince you to find someone to
share a ride to work with.
Using alternate modes of transportation also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, which may contribute to air
pollution and climate change.
The North Florida TPO is an independent regional
agency responsible for transportation planning in Duval
County and most of Clay, Nassau and St. Johns Counties.
The Commuter Services is funded by the Florida Dept. of
Transportation. Learn more by calling 904-306-7500.

Ask the Taxman
By Bob Johnson
Special Contributor,
WTith all the W2
l th forms being deliv-
ered, the VITA
(Voluntary Income Tax
Assistance) Tax Center
at NAS Jacksonville is a
beehive of activity with all
the early filers using our
free tax preparation ser-
vice. Don't wait any longer
to make an appointment by
calling 542-8039 today.
Question: is my retire-
ment taxable?
Answer: In almost every
case your Form 1099R will
have the same amount in
block 1 and block 2 because
it is fully taxable. You must
report the full amount on
line 15b of Form 1040. In
some cases, you also report
it on line 15a, but if the full
amount is taxable, then you
only report it on line 15b.
I suggest that you make
an, appointment at the free
VITA Tax Center, so that
we can answer all -your
questions as we profession-
ally prepare your return.
Be sure to ask about a tax
law passed late in 2008 that
may help you. If you do not
itemize your deductions
but you own a home on
which you pay property
taxes, then you may be eli-
gible to deduct property
taxes up to $500 for a single
person and $1,000 for mar-
ried persons filing jointly.
Question: what happens
if I do not know the amount
of the "economic stimulus
! payment" I received last
year?
Answer: Not knowing
your ESP amount could
delay your tax refund. Some
returns have even been
rejected because they con-
tained the wrong payment
amount.
I recommend you go to:
www.irs.gov. Enter your
social security number,
number of exemptions and
filing status to determine
the correct ESP amount.
Do you have a question
for the Taxman? Email
bobby.w.johnson2@navy.
mil. The answer to your
U
question will be answered
by the Taxman in the next
issue of Jax Air News.
Remember that the VITA
Tax Center is free to active
duty military, dependents,
retirees and any other per-
sonnel with, valid military
ID cards.
The NAS Jacksonville
VITA Tax Center is open
Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and

Resolve to
live healthier
By Jo Logie
NHJ Wellness Center Intern
If you're like most people, your New
Year's resolution included eating
healthier and losing some pounds.
And like most people, your determination
is probably running low by Valentine's
Day a sweet lover's holiday.
Wellness experts believe that to show
progress you must set achievable goals. If
maintaining a healthy weight is your goal,
gradual weight loss of approximately one
pound per week- is safest and most effec-
tive. Don't make a weight-losing resolution
that will just fade away. Instead, make it a
lifestyle change because there are no magic
pills to instantly lose weight.
Your first step may be as easy as call-
ing the Naval Hospital Wellness Center
near the NAS Jax Gym (542-5292) for an
appointment to map out your fitness and
nutrition plan. The center offers classes on
weight loss, smoking cessation and exer-
cise.
Nutrition is sometimes swept under the
rug because many people believe they can
conquer their weight issues through exer-
cise alone. Be aware that even if someone
gets leaner through exercise, their body
still remains less healthy due to poor nutri-
tion choices. Exercising while patronizing
fast food restaurants that serve mostly
fried foods can cause artery clogging plaque
to build up over time.
Eating healthier food in sensible portions
can lessen your risk for heart attack and
many other health problems. Set small
nutrition goals, such as replacing four
cans of soda at 140 calories each with four
glasses of water and cut 560 calories out
of your diet. This small change of drinking
water instead of soda will help you lose a
pound a week.
Other things that can improve your .
nutrition with minimal effort include eat-
ing five servings of fruit and vegetables
a day, adding spices instead of fat while
cooking and increasing fiber in your diet.
When most people think of becoming
physically fit they picture a gym full of
people using exercise equipment. If you
decide to become-more physically fit, you
do not always have to workout at a gym.
Start by using the stairs to get to your
office at work. If you like the outdoors, go
to the Mulberry Cove Nature Trail across
from the NAS Jax Golf Course. This is a
great spot way to exercise as you enjoy,

Jo Logie, community health intern from the
University of North Florida, utilizes the NHJ
Wellness Center BOD POD to measure a
person's weight using a highly accurate elec-
tronic scale. Body mass and fat percentage is
determined by sitting inside the BOD POD
chamber and measuring displaced air and
other factors.
viewing the St. Johns River water and the
native wildlife.
In addition to walking, increase your
level of fitness by doing cardio exercise
three to five times a week. Then add some
strength training and stretching three days
a week. You may also want to try Yoga or
Zumba classes that are offered at the well-
ness center.
When you choose to live a healthier life-
style through good nutrition and physical
activities, remember set your goals accord-
ing to the acronym, SMART, which stands
for specific, measurable, attainable, rel-
evant and time-bound.
Make your goal specific by writing down
exactly what you are going to change.
To make your goal measurable you can
say, "I will drink four waters instead of
sodas and cut back 560 calories."
- Make your goal relevant. Ask yourself,
"Does this activity or food choice help me
achieve a healthier lifestyle?"
Make your goal time-bound by saying,
"My goal is to live for one week without
drinking sodas."
When you start small with your short-
tem goals it will make your long-term goals
easier to reach. The SMART goal-setting
technique can be used for any aspect of
your life and is not limited to your healthy
lifestyle goals.
Are you a 'Type A?'
Know your stress and
heart disease risks
By Lt. Elliott Rosenbaum
NHJ Psychology Staff
A merican Heart Month, observed
throughout February, is a great
time to talk about the connection
between stress and heart disease. Dr.
Matthew Burg, a cardiovascular medi-
cine researcher at Yale,University School
of Medicine reported in Heart Book that
researchers have been looking at the con-
nection between heart disease and stress
for many years and research supports the
link.
The most significant research studied
people with "Type A" personalities. Type
A people are generally very punctual,
often rushed and impatient. They are hard
charging and ambitious. They may even be
perceived as aggressive.
While Type A people can have the ability
to multitask and be hard working, Burg
concluded the research clearly shows there
is a connection between this personality
type and heart disease.
Type A individuals have a substantial-
ly greater sympathetic nervous system
response to stressful or demanding circum-
stances more stress hormones, a faster
heart rate, higher blood pressure.
Type A people are also more likely to per-
ceive events and circumstances as demand-
ing and often place themselves in more
demanding situations. So, the negative
effects of increased stress hormones on the
heart and arteries are greater for these
people than in non-Type A individuals.
Fortunately, like the risks associated
with high blood cholesterol and blood pres-
sure, those associated with stress and
behavior can, also be modified. In other
words, Type A individuals can reduce their
stress levels by following a few simple tech-
niques such as laughter, meditation, deep
breathing and regular exercise.
Laugh more. Studies show that laugh-
ter helps reduce stress levels on a hormon-
al level. It also helps people gain perspec-
tive on their situation and gives them the
energy to make changes, which can have a
big impact on their stress level.
Get more aerobic exercise. For the
greatest overall health benefits, experts
recommend 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic
activity three or more times a week and
some type of muscle strengthening activity
and stretching at least twice weekly.
Practice meditation. Meditation
involves sitting in a relaxed position and
clearing your mind. Experts recommend
focusing on a soUnd, like "ooommm," or on
your own breathing. It is best to have at
least five minutes of distraction-free min-
utes to spend, but more is better.
Try deep breathing for two minutes,
twice daily. Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard
University says to adopt a passive attitude,
as if you were merely watching your breath
rise and fall. Let the air enter through
your mouth, past your .chest and down
to your diaphragm. Your stomach should
rise, while your chest stays still. Take a
breath only when needed. This will turn on
your body's natural response and help your
muscles relax and lower your blood pres-
sure and heart rate.
Work on questioning your stressful
thoughts. Type A personalities may ben-
efit from asking themselves, "Am I placing
unrealistic demands on myself? ,What do I
want or prefer, rather than need?"
Stress in itself is not necessarily a bad
thing. It. can have positive effects such as
giving people the ability to do their best
in difficult situations. But if not handled
properly, stress can be detrimental.
The bottom line is that anything you
can do to reduce your stress level can be a
positive step in the effective prevention of
heart disease. To learn more about stress
and heart disease, visit http://www.med.
yale.edu/library/heartbk/.

Jo Logie prepares to measure the body composition of HM2 George Ladd in the BOD POD
Gold Standard Body Composition Tracking System. This sophisticated analytical tool is avail-
able at the NHJ Wellness Center.
Find the new you
in the BOD POD
Contact the Naval Hospital Wellness Center to make an appointment for your personalized
health fitness assessment using timed treadmill tests and the BOD POD Gold Standard Body
Composition Tracking System.
The BOD POD uses patented air displacement to measure your body composition and resting
metabolism rate. The simple, five-minute test consists of measuring your mass (weight) using a very
accurate electronic scale, and volume, which is determined by sitting inside the BOD POD chamber
while the air is displaced.
From these two measurements, the subject's body composition is calculated. Using this data,
along with other factors, enables the wellness center staff to create an exercise and diet program
tailored to lifestyle goals. Call 542-5292 to schedule your appointment.
