Special Contrjbutor
Last week, Dustin an~d I had the
opportunity to attend the pre-
miere of "The Way.We Get By,"
documentary film about the Troop
Greeter's of the Bangor International
Airport. The premiere was held at
the University of Maine~ in Orono and
was a red carpet night complete with
a' military band, uniformed soldiers,
. 'd a who's-who of Maine, including
cAngressmen and women, and Gov.
john Baldacci. But the real star of
the night was the film itself.
SOn its face, "The Way We Get By" is
(bout three elderly Bangor residents
-~ Bill, Joan and Jerry -- who along
wiith others, many of them. veterans
themselvese, gather at the Bangor
lInternational Airport any tiinie of day
or night, 365 days a year, to greet
American troops who regularly pass
through there on their way to and
from missions abroad. IBut "The Way
We Get By" has several sub-themes
without obvious military connections
as w~ell.
Most notably, ,the movie offers
shocking and heartfelt glimpses at
retirement, aging, healthcare and
dealing with the loss of a loved one.
It is a fascinating, poetic statement --
one that will leave you with many wet
tissues -- on loneliness, and it makes
an unforgettable argument for the
benefits of volunteerism. .
My favorite shot of the whole
movie whichh by the way is saying
a lot because there is no shortage of
fahtastic cinematography in "The
Way We Get By") is the trery first
scene, when a jumbo jet appears from
behind a several-feet-high snow bank
at Bangor International Airport. It is
set to a haunting score with the tinny
'sound of guitar,, the sound you might
expect when watching tumbleweeds
roll across the hot desert in other
movies on the big screen. Except the
"tumbleweeds" is a commercial air-
liner, the "desert" a frozen airport in
northern Maite. This juxtaposition,
of what's expected and what is not is
one of the finer points of "The Way
We Get By."
Bill, the movie's
main character,
is a widower who
hasn't kept up with
the family farm and
house. His cats wade
through a sea of
empty cat food cans
piled two- and three
high on the. kitchen
floor to get to their
food- bowls. Bill has _
prostate ~cancer, and
What the Trodp
Greeters provide
for members of the
United States mi~li-
tary is probab y
obvious. Bangor
International Airport
is small, the kind of
place where you don't
need someone's flight
number in order to
pick them up. You
just stand in the
middle of the lobby
and wait for them to
Sarah Smiley
in ~fact,. the audience
. sees a scan showing multiple tumors
throughout hi~s bojdy., At this point,
movie-goers--even hardened military
men--will have a lump of emotion in
their throat, which will undoubted-
ly be released when Bill shows off
old photographs of his late wife and
speaks about having no one to come
home to.
When Bill decides to sell his hoine
and everything in it, but wants to
save his wife's old bed, I assure you,
no one in the audience will have dry
eyes.
Not with that guitar in the back-
ground, each note vibratirrg one dra-
matic note -at a time, as you imagine
Bill's life as the aforementioned "des-
ert" and his memories of the past the
"~tumbleweeds."
Anid then, like the jumbo jet unex-
pectedly coining out' fropn behind the
show bank, the music gains slow,
steady momentum. There is a deter-
mination to the notes now. They are
building one on the other. Suddenly,
your heart quickens, and although
you have tears on your cheeks, you
will smile uncontrollably when you
see Bill, the Bill you have come to
know and love, standing in the hall-
way at the Bangor International
Airport shaking hands with uni-
.formed soldiers less than half his age.
The soldiers hug Bill like he's their
own grandfather; they thank him for
his service.
CO Er NOE HY C IH7
get off thie only flight coming in, at
the moment. So the troops who pass
through here while their airplane
refuels aren't expecting much. You
can see it on their faces in thie movie.
They are tired from traveling, eager
to get to their final destination. Then
they see Bill and his gang of Troop
Greeters waiting in a line to shake
their hand, offer them snacks, and
lend them cell phones to call loved
ones back home. Such gestures might
be expected a-nd perhaps even over-
looked in large military cities like San
Diego or Norfolk, Va. But in a place
like Bangor, Maine, not known for -
having a large military presence, it
is for the troops as surprising and
inspiring as... well, as a jumbo-jet
coming out from behind a snow bank..
Yet this relationship between sol-
dier and Troop Greeter is a two-way
street, something I had not realized
until l saw "The Way We Get By." The
service men and women who come
through Bangor International Airport
offer just as much in return for their
admirers. Indeed, Bill himself says
that the young soldiers have given
his life purpose in a time when he can
find very little. He says he wants his
life to mean something to someone
else. When you see "The Way We Get
By" you will know that it does. In
fact,
Bill's life will mean something to
you.

Hey, Money Chic!
I'm behind three months
on my mortgage and
received letters from my
lender warning me they are
going to start the foreclo-
sure process if I don't catch
up my payments soon. I've
also started getting solicita-
tions from companies say-
ing they can help rescue
me. I'm not sure which com-
pany to use to help rue.
MoneyChic says: The
first issue to address is
why you fell behind in your
mortgage to begin with
because it won't help much
to work with a company if
you know you can't keep
up with the payments on
a regular basis
in the future.
However, if you
are back on your
feet and able to
regularly pay
your mortgage,
here are-some tips from the
Federal Reserve Board for
choosing your company: .
*Work only with a non-
profit, HUD approved
counselor. You can find the
approved counseling agen-
cies at: www.hud.gov/offic-

Each person must realize that
spectators are only needed for ath-
letic events. Many will be the players
this week and some are' content to
sit back and watch their fellows do
most of the work. They will attempt
to justify their behavior until realiz-
ing that unless everyone participates,
only a faithful few will reap the final
returns.
The question arising from the pre-
ceding observation is, "what prompts
us to avoid being satisfied as onlook-
ers?"
The two main obstacles preventing
many people .from getting involved
and contributing are procrastination
and self-doubt
According to Chris Parker,
"Procrastination is like a credit card:
it's a lot of fun until you get the bill."
One of these culprits can put life~'s
dreams on indefinite hold but the '
unfortunate soul dominated by both
may well experience a severe lack

The common consen-
sus in the aforemen-

these ageless gems
must become orna-
ments we display so

age.
In the words of Peter
McIntire, "Confidence
comes not from always .
being right but from
not fearing to be
wrong."
Each new morning
commences another
conflict with the lim-
iting defects of the
indecision caused by
these terrible twins.

ble telling how the grai runs. Slice
it across the grain on the bias (diago-
nally). This is important. Slicing incor-

that will ruin the dish.
Be sure to use fresh cilantro. Your
commissary should have it if not ask
them to get it for you. Finally, don't
skip the lime juice in the marinade,
and don't use the stuff from a plastic
h~ttle. Go for the real thing. Squeezing

Sizzling fajitas are high on my list of
favorites, and they're easy to prepare,
especially when you start with a little
bit ~of "up-front" information.
For .example, have you ever cooked a
flank steak? That's~ the beef cut of choice
for the fajita recipe that follows. There
was a time when flank steak went beg-
ging in the meat counter because most
people had no clue what to do with it.
That was before~fiery Mexican cuisine
captured the hearts, not to mention the
taste buds, of the entire nation. Its pop-
ularity is partially responsible for flank
steak's higher price tag today supply
and demand at work, you know. .
If the flank steak's `price puts it out

steak, which may be less expensive, or
bottom round steak, which is cheaper
still. However, flank steak and skirt
steak both have a rich, full, beefy flavor
that is perfect for fajitas a quality bot-
tom roimd just can't match.
Flank steak is very thin and cooks
quickly, so be careful not to overcook.
High heat for a short period of time is
what you want. It is also a very fibrous
cut of beef, so you will have no trou-

Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic's
2008 Sailor of the Year and Bluejacket of
thZ (W/SW) Latoyna Crawford and
SK3(AW) Johnnie Wiley of HS-5 mainte-
nance control were honored to be selected.
j.~Crawford~has been in the Navy for 14
'years and said her success would not have
been achievable without the support of her
command, while acknowledging the strong
support of her junior Sailors and subordi-
nates. .
S"'Tve been able to sustain a superior per-
formance in all aspects," Crawford said. "I'm
not afraid of stepping up to the next level,
and most of all it is always about taking
care of my Sailors first and foremost."
SWiley credits his success since joining the
Navjr in January 2006 to,always wanting
to be the best at anything he is asked to do
and by neyer settling for "just the mini-
mum" standard.
"I like to go above and beyond. Whenever
scan2eone~ asks me to perform~ a task, they
know it's going to get done with no ques-
tions asked." Wiley said. "Sometimes things
can become a bit stressful, because you want
to be sure you are able to take care of every-
one's needs.. But I makedure that nobody
sees or recognizes that I might be stressed."
Though the award was n honor, Crawford
anrd Wiley both held to the sentiment that it
was all in a day's work.
"Oh! I was ecstatic," Crawford said with
a smile. "It's a feeling unlike ,any other.
Knowing that I was chosen out of all of the
helicopter squadrons in the wing really put
sonie excitement in my heart. It lets you
know th~at the hard work and long hours
S.wei~e not invested in vain."
"'It felt good -knowing that I was the best
South there," Wiley said. "I'm looking forward
tq going Seaman-to-Admiral hopefully."

"I'm trying to simplify the

game for recreation, yet it
can be very humbling and
difficult," continued Funk.

to meet its environmental manage-
ment system target of reducing energy
consumption by three percent annual-

these GEM solar panels can realize
annual, per-vehicle savings of more

Making its public debut
was the solar GEM (Global

to travel around the sta-

panels absorb sunlight to
recharge the vehicle's bat-

aged to sit in the solar GEM
and ask Jody Smith, assis-

"This is a great oppor-

Play focuses on child abuse prevention
By WeVAN Scott Beach "" TRAC
The NAS Jax Fleet
and Family Support
TCenter (FFSC)
hosted two performances
of a special play called,
"Pretending to be Normal"
at the Navy Gateway Inns
and Suites April 21 for mil-
etr antdhecirylianempldy-
The event was held in rec-
ognition of National Child
Abuse Prevention Month
which is during the month
of April.
"We wanted to do some-
thing a little different to
get our message across dur-
ing this important month..
Victor Antomio had written
a play dealing with domes-
tic violence in the commu-
nity and produced it for
the City of Jacksonville,
so we contacted him and
asked if he could produce
a play for us,"' said FFSC
Family Advocacy Program
Educator Sandra Jones.
Antonio, who wrote the
play in three months, also
directed and produced the
event. The stage included
two sections, one with a liv- .
ing room and the other with
a family room, .
The plot involved an
intervention that allowed
a family to discuss past
events dealing with domes-
tic violence and child abuse.
Whenever someone would
reflect back on an event,
they would switch over to
the other side of the set to
act out what had happened.
Several scenes were some-
what graphic and it defi-
nitely drove home the point
of how child abuse affects

'people throughout their
entire lives, even as adults.
When asked what
inspired him to write a.play
like this Antonio responded,
"I wrote this because of the
abuse I went through when
I was young arid because
of things I've seen growing
up in the military environ-
ment. I witnessed domestic
violence and child abuse. I
wanted to help make a dif-
ference."
"I've been writing for
about 15 years now. I was
always a jock and didn't

Operations.
"The money management
section gives you a clear
insight on how to do exact-
lyr that, manage money.
There was also a great sec-
tion that explained how to
prepare yourself for retire-
ment. We all work towards
one goal, and that is retire-
ment," he continued. "The
more information we have
to accumulate more finance
towards the end or our
career, the better. Stocks,
savings bonds, and even
-just putting money away in
a savings account are some
of the great iaeas giveli to
accumulate more~money for
after retirement. Even in
the most brutal of financial
debt this program has given
great tips ahd ideas for see-
ing your way out of it."
The course was not only
open to service members,
but their families as well.

spouse said, "Being a new

he~~ .le a Fml
offered its first
Million Dollar Sailor semi-
nar .April 21 to help Sailors
learn about saving, invest-
ing and budgeting money.
"As a Sailor in the Ngvy,
I had many bouts with my
financial stability. Through
the. course of my five-plus
years, I have learned how
hard it is to maintain a bud-
get. Through this course, I
have learnedd how I could
hav~e prevented some of my
losses. There~are alot more
ways to lose moriey than
there are to save (money),"
said ABH3(AW) Stephen
Vaiza from NAS Jax Air
shop has been very helpful.
I came mnto this not knowing
about the military. I found
that working on the money
management module was .
most helpful. It gave my hus-
band and l a chance to sit
down and see what we actual-
ly spend. I would recommend
this class to not only the men
and women of the military,
but also their spouses."

'Nightdippers' name
sailors of the year
By MC2 (SW) Kenneth Hendrix
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs
T wo Sailors assigned to the
"Nightdippers" of Helicopter Anti-
Submarine Squadron (HS) 5
of embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7
aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69)
were recently announced as Commander,
Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic's
2008 Sailor of the Year and Bluejacket of
the Year.
AZ1(AW/SW) Latoyna Crawford and
SK3(AW) Johnnie Wiley of HS-5 mainte-
nance control were honored to be selected.
Crawford has been in the Navy for 14
years and said her success would not have
been achievable without the support of her
command, while acknowledging the strong
support of her junior Sailors and subordi-
nates.
"I've been able to sustain a superior per-
formance in all aspects," Crawford said. "I'm
not afraid of stepping up to the next level,
and most of all it is always about taking
care of my Sailors first and foremost."
Wiley credits his success since joining the
Navy in January 2006 to always wanting
to be the best at anything he is asked to do
- and by never settling for "just the mini-
mum" standard.
"I like to go above and beyond. Whenever
someone asks me to perform a task, they
know it's going to get done with no ques-
tions asked." Wiley said. "Sometimes things
can become a bit stressful, because you want
to be sure you are able to take care of every-
one's needs. But I make sure that nobody
sees or recognizes that I might be stressed."
Though the award was an honor, Crawford
and Wiley both held to the sentiment that it
was all in a day's work.
"Oh! I was ecstatic," Crawford said with
a smile. "It's a feeling unlike any other.
Knowing that I was chosen out of all of the
helicopter squadrons in the wing really put
some excitement in my heart. It lets you
know that the hard work and long hours
were not invested in vain."
"It felt good knowing that I was the best
out there," Wiley said. "I'm looking forward
to going Seaman-to-Admiral hopefully."
Wiley joined the Navy to travel and sup-
port his family, and thanked Crawford along

AZ1 (AW/SW) Latoyna Crawford, of HS-5, was
recently awarded Commander, Helicopter
Sea Combat Wing Atlantic Sailor of the Year.
The SOY program recognizes Sailors who
exhibit sustained superior performance, lead-
ership, self-improvement, command/commu-
nity involvement and military bearing.

ed Commander, Helicopter Sea Combat Wing
Atlantic Bluejacket of the Year. The BJOY
award goes annually to the top performing
Sailor, E-3 and below, for a particular com-
mand.
with CWO 2 Michael Livingston for being
there as mentors for him.
"Wiley is probably the most mature and
dependable third classes that we have,"
Crawford said. "I do my best to keep him
motivated by having a positive working
environment because that's important for
morale, especially during an underway peri-
od."
Crawford conveyed that now she is looking
forward to possibly becoming a chief petty
officer this coming summer to become the
Navy's next generation of enlisted leaders.
"Hopefully, I'm in a better position to help
people where I'm able to do more for them,"
Crawford shared. "That's my primary goal
and to continue an upward mobility as much
as I possibly can."

PGA Tour Pro Fred
Funk visited the

April 21 for a free golf
clinic. Funk spent several
hours working with NAS
Jax military and civilian
personnel at the driving
range.
"Any time I can give
something back to our ser-
vice members, I welcome
the opportunity. My heart
is so touched by what they
sacrifice," said Funk.
During the clinic, Funk
emphasized various aspects
of the game such as grip,
swing rhythm, stance, and
answered questions about
the game and his career.
"I'm trying to simplify the
idea of how to play this stu-
pid game. It's tough and a
lot of times people play this
game for recreation, yet it
can be very humbling and
difficult," continued Funk.

ple of tips from me to help
make their game a little
more enjoyable and get a
better understanding of
what the golf game and golf
swing involves."

this initial EOC-IMT
training course hosted
by Commander, Navy
Region Southeast and NAS
Jacksonville will soon be
available to bring the SFTC
schoolhouse to emergency
operations students across
the country, and eventual-
ly, across the world.
"This initial class is
filled with a cross-section
of personnel from sectors
such as security, fire and
public works departments
to medical services, logis-
tics and air operations.
We have people from NSB
Kings Bay, NAS Whiting
Field, NAS Pensacola, NS
Mayport, NAS Jacksonville
and Naval Weapons Station
Charleston," explained
Crockett.
Part seminar, part class-
room lecture and part exer-
cises, the course instructors
brought students into the
region operations center
(ROC) to give them hands-
on learning in EOC-IMT
planning, logistics and
operations.
"One of our scenarios is
a school bus and fuel truck
collision. As students focus
on the process, instructors
provide realistic exercise
'injects' to gauge students'
responses to increased
stress in the ROC. At the
end of each day we do a
'hot wash' or after-action
report to discuss what was
learned," said Crockett.
"The final exercise is a
flood scenario that reaches
beyond the base perimeter
- much like the storm surge
that a hurricane would cre-
ate when it makes landfall.
Because of the Southeast
Region's susceptibility to
tropical storms and hur-
ricanes, this is extremely
realistic and value-added
training."
"All in all, this is the best
EOC class I've ever attend-
ed," said Allan Turner,
assistant fire chief at Naval
Support Activity Panama
City, Fla. "I find most inci-
dent command courses tend
to be heavy on theory and
light on real-world training.
But, this EOC-IMT course

is right on when it comes to
how we do business as first
responders. There was a lot
of good information on sup-
porting and coordinating
assets within the team."
NAS Pensacola Air
Operations Officer Lt.
Cmdr. Robert Helms said,
"I'm here to get trained up
on EOC because most of my
prior experience is as an
operator. This course really
opened my eyes to under-
standing every player's
role on our incident man-
agement team. As with any
team, communication is
vital to success. And doing
these drills in an actual
EOC allowed me to literally
sit in other people's chairs
and gain new perspectives
beyond my responsibilities
at air ops."
Crockett added, "We
reshuffle the room for each
exercise. So, if your comfort
zone is operations, we put
you in security. If your com-
fort zone is fire/rescue, we
put you in planning. There
was great teamwork in this
class and I hope they take
the enthusiasm and knowl-
edge they showed us back
at their home bases."
CNRSE N7 Training
Officer Ray Bauhs helped
bring the SFTC mobile
training team to the south-
east region. "This course
feeds the demand signal
from our installations. Our
primary responsibility at
the region is to be a force
multiplier for each instal-
lation. By taking this, and
other courses, directly to
the warfighter we cut
costs as we multiply capa-
bility and training at the
installation level. I believe
this course will realize
extensive value-added ben-
efits for our EOC-IMT per-
sonnel," said Bauhs.

NAS Jax GEM goes solar
By Clark Pierce Pollution Prevention Manager Bill
Editor
Photo by Clark Pierce
(From left) NAS Jax Pollution Prevention Manager Bill Raspet
and NAS Jax Commanding Officer Capt. Jack Scorby Jr. pre-
pare to test drive the station's first GEM battery electric vehi-
cle retrofitted with a rooftop solar energy system.
N AS Jacksonville's first GEM
(Global Electric Motorcars)
solar energy conversion was
completed April 16 at the base public
works transportation facility.
After his test-drive on a clear, sunny
afternoon, Commanding Officer Capt.
Jack Scorby Jr. declared, "It's a great
ride and a money saver, too, because
it's one less GEM that we have to plug
in at night to recharge its batteries."
Scorby said that when the solar
GEM proves its performance, efficien-
cy and durability, he would take a
close look at funding additional con-
versions in the station's fleet of 41
GEMs.
"This new solar energy device great-
ly expands the GEM range because
its advanced pulse-charging technol-
ogy conditions the battery for continu-
ous, rapid charging," said NAS Jax
Raspet.
"This is a great way to harness our
most abundant form of clean energy -
the sun. Decreased maintenance costs
and zero carbon dioxide emissions are
added benefits."
Tony Viada, a solar technician from
Nest Energy Systems, a renewable
energy company headquartered in
Prescott, Ariz., explained, "It remains
a battery powered vehicle. The dif-
ference is that, instead of plugging
it into a 110-volt outlet to charge for
eight hours, it will now charge contin-
uously whenever it's driven or parked
in sunlight. That increases the range
of the GEM, while virtually eliminat-
ing the time it was previously plugged
into a charging station."
The solar package consists of six,
55-watt photovoltaic panels mounted
securely on the rooftop, a compact
charge controller beneath the seats,
and wiring from the controller to the
battery and the solar panels.
"This is our first installation on a
four-passenger GEM equipped with
doors, so the rooftop attachment
points are different. Still, everything
is relatively simple and it should be
ready to go in a matter of hours," said
Viada.
Raspet said that this is a prototype
vehicle that will be evaluated for its
ability to cope with the Florida cli-
mate, including high winds associated
with the hurricane season.
"The solar GEM also helps NAS Jax
to meet its environmental manage-
ment system target of reducing energy
consumption by three percent annual-
ly. The manufacturer estimates that
these GEM solar panels can realize
annual, per-vehicle savings of more
than $1,000 when compared to con-
ventional, gasoline-powered vehicles,"
concluded Raspet.

From Page 1
Making its public debut
was the solar GEM (Global
Electric Motorcar), an envi-
ronmentally friendly way
to travel around the sta-
tion. The new rooftop solar
panels absorb sunlight to
recharge the vehicle's bat-
teries. Visitors were encour-
aged to sit in the solar GEM
and ask Jody Smith, assis-
tant hazardous waste man-
ager, questions about solar
electric power.
"This is a great oppor-
tunity to let people know
about NAS Jacksonville's
daily commitment to envi-
ronmental excellence, and
to get people interested in
conservation activities,"
said Smith.
It was estimated more
than 2,000 people stopped
at the NAS Jacksonville
booth where volunteers
handed out whale wheels,
stickers, bookmarks and
flyers about the educational
opportunities at the base,"
said Smith.
Billie Brownfield, assis-
tant hazardous waste
manager, enjoys talking
with the public. "There are
so many things people in
our community don't know
about our environmental
program at NAS Jax and
how ecologically aware we
are in our daily jobs."
The installation is one of
the few Navy shore facili-
ties that offers an environ-
mental interpretive cen-
ter where school groups
and scouts can come to
learn about conservation,
recycling and earn merit
badges. NAS Jax Assistant
Natural Resources Manager
Angela Glass works to
make teachers aware of the
educational opportunities
the station offers.
"Teachers can bring stu-
dents from any grade to
the NAS Jax Interpretive
Center, at no charge, to
enhance and supplement
classroom lessons," said
Glass.
NAS Jacksonville's envi-
ronmental protection ini-
tiatives are recognized as
some of the best. The City of
Jacksonville Environmental
Protection Board of the
awarded the Environmental
Achievement Award for
Government to NAS Jack-
sonville recently at the 18th

10,000 pounds of debris to be

Naylor takes helm from Pregmon May
By Lt.j.g. Kenny Relethford
VP-5 PAO
Cmdr. Frank Naylor will
relieve Cmdr. Matthew
Pregmon May 1 in the VP-5
Change of Command ceremony at
Kadena Air Base, Japan. The VP-
5 "Mad Foxes" are in the middle of
a six-month deployment support-
ing operations in both 7th fleet
and Southern Command areas of
responsibility.
Naylor, born in Coronado, Calif.,
grew up in Northern Virginia and
Kansas. Upon graduating from
the University of Kansas, he was
commissioned through the Naval
Aviation Officer Cadet Program
in June 1990. He went on to earn
his pilot "Wings of Gold" at NAS
Corpus Christi, Texas
His first operational tour was
with VP-23 of NAS Brunswick,
Maine, where he completed two
deployments to Sigonella, Italy and
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Nalor also
served as the tactical action offi-
cer onboard USS John F. Kennedy
(CV 67). During his department
head tour at VP-5, he completed
deployments to the Mediterranean,
Arabian Gulf, Iceland and the
Caribbean.
Ashore, Naylor served on the
staff of commander, Fleet Air
Keflavik in Iceland, as flag aide
to commandant Naval District,
Washington, and as assistant pro-
gram manager in P-3 training sys-
tems for NAVAIR. He screened for
initial aviation operational com-
mand in 2006 and was subsequent-
ly transferred to the National War
College, where he earned a Master
of Science in National Security
Strategy. Naylor reported to the
Mad Foxes as executive officer in
2008.
During Pregmon's year as com-
manding officer, VP-5 received
its eighth consecutive Retention
Excellence Award and reached 30
years of mishap-free flight total-
ing more than 175,000 hours. He
Cmdr. Frank Naylor
has shaped VP-5 into the squadron
that continues to set the standard
for maritime patrol aviation.
Commissioned in 1937 as the
Navy's second VP squadron, VP-5
has been a part of every major glob-
Cmdr. Matthew Pregmon
al conflict, including World War
II, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam,
Gulf War and the global war on
terrorism. The squadron has flown
six different types of patrol aircraft,
both land- and sea-based.

From Navy Personnel
Command Public Affairs
The Navy announced
plans April 14 to
place a temporary
hold on selected permanent
change of station (PCS)
moves in order to remain
within budget.
The decision means that
as many as 14,000 Sailors
who have not already
received orders may not be
able to transfer until after
Oct. 1 when the new fiscal
year begins.
Individuals currently
under orders will be allowed
to rotate as planned.
"Delaying these moves

manpower resources we
have been allocated," said
Rear Adm. Don Quinn, com-
mander, Navy Personnel
Command.
"We have chosen this
path instead of other more
painful options, such as
involuntary separations.
We fully understand the
impact on our Sailors and
their families, but this was
clearly the best option in
these extraordinary times."
Exceptions to the PCS
hold include orders for
Sailors separating from
the service, individual aug-
mentees and Global War
On Terrorism Support
Assignments, new acces-
sions, organization moves
as well as selected Joint
Professional Military
Education (JPME), gradu-
ate education moves and
readiness moves.
Navy leaders will contin-
ue to work this issue and
should additional funds
become available, Navy
will act promptly to restore
these delayed PCS moves.
"We are working very
hard to focus the remaining
PCS funds on critical moves
that are directly tied to fleet
readiness," said Quinn.

Deferment, self-doubt bankrupt dreams
By Chaplain
Special Contributor CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
I heard an expression that goes,
"people can be divided into three
groups: those who make things
happen; those who watch things hap-
pen; and those who wonder what
happened."
Each person must realize that
spectators are only needed for ath-
letic events. Many will be the players
this week and some are content to
sit back and watch their fellows do
most of the work. They will attempt
to justify their behavior until realiz-
ing that unless everyone participates,
only a faithful few will reap the final
returns.
The question arising from the pre-
ceding observation is, "what prompts
us to avoid being satisfied as onlook-
ers?"
The two main obstacles preventing
many people from getting involved
and contributing are procrastination
and self-doubt.
According to Chris Parker,
"Procrastination is like a credit card:
it's a lot of fun until you get the bill."
One of these culprits can put life's
dreams on indefinite hold but the
unfortunate soul dominated by both
may well experience a severe lack
of assurance and cour-
age.
In the words of Peter
McIntire, "Confidence
comes not from always
being right but from
not fearing to be
wrong."
Each new morning
commences another
conflict with the lim-
iting defects of the
indecision caused by <
these terrible twins.
You may ask, "What
can be done to thwart
such potent opposition Chaplain
to my pursuit of a life Atticu
that really counts for something?"
An unknown source offers this for-
mula for getting the edge in life:
Desire plus sacrifice plus disci-
pline equals preparation.
Preparation plus success equals
confidence.
Mental toughness plus pride
equals perseverance.
Preparation, confidence and perse-
verance are central toward achieving
any worthwhile objective.

Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk.
Cinco de Mayo means it's time for fajitas
By Kay Blakley
DeCA home economist
If you like Mexican food, then May
5, also known as Cinco de Mayo,
provides the perfect opportunity to
try your hand at preparing some tra-
ditional south-of-the-border delights.
Sizzling fajitas are high on my list of
favorites, and they're easy to prepare,
especially when you start with a little
bit of "up-front" information.
For example, have you ever cooked a
flank steak? That's the beef cut of choice
for the fajita recipe that follows. There
was a time when flank steak went beg-
ging in the meat counter because most
people had no clue what to do with it.
That was before fiery Mexican cuisine
captured the hearts, not to mention the
taste buds, of the entire nation. Its pop-
ularity is partially responsible for flank
steak's higher price tag today supply
and demand at work, you know.
If the flank steak's price puts it out
Photos.corn
of your reach, you can substitute skirt
steak, which may be less expensive, or
bottom round steak, which is cheaper
still. However, flank steak and skirt
steak both have a rich, full, beefy flavor
that is perfect for fajitas a quality bot-
tom round just can't match.
Flank steak is very thin and cooks
quickly, so be careful not to overcook.
High heat for a short period of time is
what you want. It is also a very fibrous
cut of beef, so you will have no trou-
ble telling how the grain runs. Slice
it across the grain on the bias (diago-
nally). This is important. Slicing incor-
rectly will give you a stringy toughness
that will ruin the dish.
Be sure to use fresh cilantro. Your
commissary should have it if not ask
them to get it for you. Finally, don't
skip the lime juice in the marinade,
and don't use the stuff from a plastic
bottle. Go for the real thing. Squeezing
a couple of fresh limes takes only a
minute to do and makes a big differ-
ence in flavor.
Recipes for all the side dishes you'll
want, like Spanish Rice, California
Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Layered
Taco Bean Dip and more, are ready and
waiting in Kay's Kitchen on the Web at
https://www.commissaries.com. All the
ingredients you need are available at
your local commissary at savings of 30
percent or more. So, put on some salsa
music, crank up the volume and let's
get cooking!

'The Way We Get By'
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
Last week, Dustin and I had the
opportunity to attend the pre-
miere of "The Way We Get By,"
a documentary film about the Troop
Greeter's of the Bangor International
Airport. The premiere was held at
the University of Maine in Orono and
was a red carpet night complete with
a military band, uniformed soldiers,
and a who's-who of Maine, including
congressmen and women and Gov.
John Baldacci. But the real star of
the night was the film itself.
On its face, "The Way We Get By" is
about three elderly Bangor residents
-- Bill, Joan and Jerry -- who along
with others, many of them veterans
themselves, gather at the Bangor
International Airport any time of day
or night, 365 days a year, to greet
American troops who regularly pass
through there on their way to and
from missions abroad. But "The Way
We Get By" has several sub-themes
without obvious military connections
as well.
Most notably, the movie offers
shocking and heartfelt glimpses at
retirement, aging, healthcare and
dealing with the loss of a loved one.
It is a fascinating, poetic statement --
one that will leave you with many wet
tissues -- on loneliness, and it makes
an unforgettable argument for the
benefits of volunteerism.
My favorite shot of the whole
movie (which by the way is saying
a lot because there is no shortage of
fantastic cinematography in "The
Way We Get By") is the very first
scene, when a jumbo jet appears from
behind a several-feet-high snow bank
at Bangor International Airport. It is
set to a haunting score with the tinny
sound of guitar, the sound you might
expect when watching tumbleweeds
roll across the hot desert in other
movies on the big screen. Except the
"tumbleweeds" is a commercial air-
liner, the "desert" a frozen airport in
northern Maine. This juxtaposition
of what's expected and what is not is
one of the finer points of "The Way
Hey, MoneyChic!
I'm behind three months
on my mortgage and
received letters from my
lender warning me they are
going to start the foreclo-
sure process if I don't catch
up my payments soon. I've
also started getting solicita-
tions from companies say-
ing they can help rescue
me. I'm not sure which com-
pany to use to help me.
MoneyChic says: The
first issue to address is
why you fell behind in your
mortgage to begin with
because it won't help much
to work with a company if
you know you can't keep
up with the payments on
ooo
a regular basis
in the future.
However, if you
are back on your
feet and able to
regularly pay
your mortgage,
here are some tips from the
Federal Reserve Board for
choosing your company:
Work only with a non-
profit, HUD approved
counselor. You can find the
approved counseling agen-
cies at: www.hud.gov/offic-
es/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm or
call 1-877-HUD-1515.
Do not pay hundreds of
dollars for counseling ser-
vices. Most HUD approved
counselors are no cost or

We Get By."
Bill, the movie's
main character,
is a widower who
hasn't kept up with
the family farm and
house. His cats wade
through a sea of
empty cat food cans
piled two- and three-
high on the kitchen
floor to get to their
food bowls. Bill has
prostate cancer, and
in fact, the audience
Sarah Smiley
sees a scan showing multiple tumors
throughout his body. At this point,
movie-goers--even hardened military
men--will have a lump of emotion in
their throat, which will undoubted-
ly be released when Bill shows off
old photographs of his late wife and
speaks about having no one to come
home to.
When Bill decides to sell his home
and everything in it, but wants to
save his wife's old bed, I assure you,
no one in the audience will have dry
eyes.
Not with that guitar in the back-
ground, each note vibrating one dra-
matic note at a time, as you imagine
Bill's life as the aforementioned "des-
ert" and his memories of the past the
"tumbleweeds."
And then, like the jumbo jet unex-
pectedly coming out from behind the
snow bank, the music gains slow,
steady momentum. There is a deter-
mination to the notes now. They are
building one on the other. Suddenly,
your heart quickens, and although
you have tears on your cheeks, you
will smile uncontrollably when you
see Bill, the Bill you have come to
know and love, standing in the hall-
way at the Bangor International
Airport shaking hands with uni-
formed soldiers less than half his age.
The soldiers hug Bill like he's their
own grandfather; they thank him for
his service.
HEY, MONEYCHIC!
low cost. Do
not agree to
work with any-
one who tries
to charge a fee
before provid-
ing services. If
they only accept a cashier's
check or wire transfer, run
immediately.
Before signing any
paperwork, make sure you
completely understand
the contract. Don't sign
any blank forms or let the
counselor fill out the forms
for you. Talk to an attor-
ney before signing anything
that transfers the title of
your home to another per-
son.
What the Troop
Greeters provide
for members of the
United States mili-
tary is probably
obvious. Bangor
International Airport
is small, the kind of
place where you don't
need someone's flight
number in order to
pick them up. You
just stand in the
middle of the lobby
and wait for them to
get off the only flight coming in at
the moment. So the troops who pass
through here while their airplane
refuels aren't expecting much. You
can see it on their faces in the movie.
They are tired from traveling, eager
to get to their final destination. Then
they see Bill and his gang of Troop
Greeters waiting in a line to shake
their hand, offer them snacks, and
lend them cell phones to call loved
ones back home. Such gestures might
be expected and perhaps even over-
looked in large military cities like San
Diego or Norfolk, Va. But in a place
like Bangor, Maine, not known for
having a large military presence, it
is for the troops as surprising and
inspiring as... well, as a jumbo-jet
coming out from behind a snow bank.
Yet this relationship between sol-
dier and Troop Greeter is a two-way
street, something I had not realized
until I saw "The Way We Get By." The
service men and women who come
through Bangor International Airport
offer just as much in return for their
admirers. Indeed, Bill himself says
that the young soldiers have given
his life purpose in a time when he can
find very little. He says he wants his
life to mean something to someone
else. When you see "The Way We Get
By" you will know that it does. In
fact,
Bill's life will mean something to
you.
Be wary of any guaran-
tees to stop the foreclosure
process. Counselors can
increase your chances of
keeping your home, but be
wary of anyone who promis-
es this as a sure thing. Get
any promises in writing.

unsure about any transac-
tions, trust your instincts
and seek help. Report suspi-
cious activities to your state
and local consumer pro-
tection agencies. You can

From TRICARE
Management Activity
TRICARE increased
the amount it will
pay for certain
Extended Care Health
Option (ECHO) benefits.
ECHO assists eligible fam-
ily members of active duty
sponsors who are diag-
nosed with moderate or
severe mental retardation,
a serious physical disabil-
ity, or an extraordinary
physical or psychological
condition.
The total TRICARE cost
share for training, reha-
bilitation, special educa-
tion, and assistive technol-
ogy devices was increased
to $36,000 per fiscal year.
The cap also covers insti-
tutional care in private
nonprofit, public and state
institutions and facilities
and, if appropriate, trans-
portation to and from such
institutions and facilities.
The TRICARE Enhanced
Access to Autism Services
"Demonstration" is also
included.
"This is good news for
military families out there
with an ECHO-quali-
fied family member," said
Army Maj. Gen. Elder
Granger, deputy director
of TRICARE Management
Activity. "This change will
help make services more
accessible to our deserving
special needs beneficiaries."
Previously, all ECHO
benefits were subject to a
government cost-share limit
of $2,500 per month.
Some ECHO benefits are
still subject to the $2,500
per month cap and ECHO
Home Health Care has its
own unique reimbursement
limits. For more informa-
tion on ECHO services,
costs and limitations go
to http://www.tricare.mil/
ECHO or contact the appro-
priate regional managed
care support contractor
found at http://www.tricare.
mil/contactus. Additional
details can also be found at
the TRICARE blog at http://
www.health.mil/tmablog/
Article.aspx?ID=470.
The ECHO increase was
included in the National
Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2009, which
was signed into law on
Oct. 14, 2008. As a result,
TRICARE urges eligible
beneficiaries to submit
any claims for their out-
of-pocket payments for the
identified ECHO services
received on or after Oct.
14, 2008 that were previ-
ously limited by the $2,500
monthly cap.

By AWVAN Scott Beach
Staff Writer
The Fleet and Family
Support Center
offered its first
Million Dollar Sailor semi-
nar April 21 to help Sailors
learn about saving, invest-
ing and budgeting money.
"As a Sailor in the Navy,
I had many bouts with my
financial stability. Through
the course of my five-plus
years, I have learned how
hard it is to maintain a bud-
get. Through this course, I
have learned how I could
have prevented some of my
losses. There are a lot more
ways to lose money than
there are to save (money),"

Operations.
"The money management
section gives you a clear
insight on how to do exact-
ly that, manage money.
There was also a great sec-
tion that explained how to
prepare yourself for retire-
ment. We all work towards
one goal, and that is retire-
ment," he continued. "The
more information we have
to accumulate more finance
towards the end or our
career, the better. Stocks,
savings bonds, and even
just putting money away in
a savings account are some
of the great ideas given to
accumulate more money for
after retirement. Even in
the most brutal of financial
debt this program has given
great tips and ideas for see-
ing your way out of it."
The course was not only
open to service members,
but their families as well.
Laura Palmer, a military
spouse said, "Being a new
wife to the Navy, this work-
shop has been very helpful.
I came into this not knowing
about the military. I found
that working on the money
management module was
most helpful. It gave my hus-
band and I a chance to sit
down and see what we actual-
ly spend. I would recommend
this class to not only the men
and women of the military,
but also their spouses."

course and a wide array

The NAS Jax Fleet
and Family Support
Center (FFSC)
hosted two performances
of a special play called,
"Pretending to be Normal"
at the Navy Gateway Inns
and Suites April 21 for mil-
itary and civilian employ-
ees and their families.
The event was held in rec-
ognition of National Child
Abuse Prevention Month
which is during the month
of April.
"We wanted to do some-
thing a little different to
get our message across dur-
ing this important month.
Victor Antonio had written
a play dealing with domes-
tic violence in the commu-
nity and produced it for
the City of Jacksonville,
so we contacted him and
asked if he could produce
a play for us," said FFSC
Family Advocacy Program
Educator Sandra Jones.
Antonio, who wrote the
play in three months, also
directed and produced the
event. The stage included
two sections, one with a liv-
ing room and the other with
a family room.
The plot involved an
intervention that allowed
a family to discuss past
events dealing with domes-
tic violence and child abuse.
Whenever someone would
reflect back on an event,
they would switch over to
the other side of the set to
act out what had happened.
Several scenes were some-

nitely drove home the point
of how child abuse affects

entire lives, even as adults.
When asked what
inspired him to write a play
like this Antonio responded,
"I wrote this because of the
abuse I went through when
I was young and because
of things I've seen growing
up in the military environ-
ment. I witnessed domestic
violence and child abuse. I
wanted to help make a dif-
ference."

about 15 years now. I was
