NAS Jax wins fourth
consecutive safety
By Miriam Gallet i- I .
NAS Jax Public Affairs Officer -" .
NAS Jacksonville earned
its fourth consecutive
Chief of Naval Operations
Occupational Health Ashore
Safety Award in the large instal-
lation category.
Receiving the CNO Safety Ashore
Award for the fourth straight year,
a record for any Navy activity, is a
strong endorsement of the station's
impressive safety program and
employees' total adoption and inte-
gration in a strong safety culture.
Earning the prestigious award
continues the station's long history
of safety excellence.
"This is certainly a top honor
for NAS Jax. We're all extremely
proud of our safety programs and
this award showcases the commit-
ment to safety that our military
and civilian personnel bring to
work every day. They do an out-
standing job of proactively foster-
ing a culture of safety in the work-
place," stated Capt. Jack Scorby
Jr., NAS Jacksonville commanding
officer.
"It's important to note that in
order for these programs to be suc-
cessful, all hands must participate
and take responsibility for their
actions and the actions of their
coworkers. I am extremely proud
because this is our fourth consecu-
tive CNO Safety Ashore Award.
This tells me that NAS Jax per-
sonnel are vigilant and constantly

embrace occupational health and
safety as an integral part of their
job while carrying out a fast-paced
operational schedule," continued
Scorby.
According to NAS Jacksonville
Safety Manager Ron Williamson,
the main reason the station contin-
ues to foster an exceptional safe-
ty program is because NAS Jax
has a safety culture that stresses
safety in all of its operations. "We
have very strong support for safety
within our command leadership.
Additionally, our department
heads, supervisors and employees
have embraced safety, totally,"
Williamson explained.
award
"Several categories of mishaps
showed marked improvement
from the previous year. The mili-
tary and civilian on-duty case rate
dropped from 2.45 in 2007 to 1.88
in 2008, a 23 percent reduction,"
he continued.
"Also, we have set a goal of
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Voluntary
Protection Programs (VPP) "Star"
status for NAS Jacksonville, and
have completed stage one of our
challenge program heading toward
"Star" status in VPP. Along with
a strong occupational safety and
health program, we strive for a
strong traffic safety program
through our annual recreation-
al safety rodeo, defensive driv-
ing classes and motorcycle safety
training class for beginning riders,
experienced riders and for riders of
Sport bikes," Williamson added.
Other initiatives that contrib-
uted to the overall success of the
base safety program include a suc-
cessful fire prevention program;
disaster preparedness drills; an
ergonomic program; ordnance/
explosives safety program; recre-
ational safety program; Click It or
Ticket campaigns, driver improve-
ment classes and a medical sur-
veillance program for civilian
employees.
The award will be presented at
the 17th annual Safety Pro-fes-
sional Development Conference in
San Diego March 17.

CMO-11 'Black
Tips' to disestablish
By Clark Pierce
Editor
The era of wing-level mainte-
nance ownership of P-3 Orion
aircraft at NAS Jacksonville
ends tomorrow with the disestablish-
ment of Consolidated Maintenance
Organization (CMO) 11.
Cmdr. Pat McCormick, CMO-11
commanding officer, recently dis-
cussed the short history of the organi-
zation that was established in October
2006.
"In preparation for the P-8A
Poseidon (the P-3C replacement)
transition, the Navy combined the P-3
squadrons' maintenance departments
at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii; Whidbey
Island, Wash.; and Jacksonville, Fla.
into CMO-2, CMO-10 and CMO-11
respectively to maximize efficiency
and effectiveness.
"The CMO concept divided the com-
mand into maintenance deployment
teams that were paired with squad-
rons in our case, VP-5, VP-16, VP-
45 and VP-62. When a VP squadron
deployed, the CMO sent a mainte-
nance detachment to accompany the
squadron to ensure mission-capable
aircraft," said McCormick.
"Leadership intended the CMO to
mirror the new P-8 organization of
2012 that would be flown by Navy
aircrew and maintained by contrac-
tor logistics support. The only Navy

maintainers involved would be ord-
nance support. The idea was to focus
solely on transitioning flyers to the
P-8 without simultaneously transi-
tioning maintainers," McCormick
explained.
"Things changed in November 2008
when patrol and reconnaissance lead-
ership decided to revert back to leg-
acy maintenance departments at the
squadron level. This was not a nega-
tive reflection of CMO performance.
It was simply determined that there
is better synergy by deploying as a
single unit, rather than two separate
units of flyers and maintainers," con-
tinued McCormick.
"With the advent of P-8, leadership
believes traditional, squadron-level
maintenance will maximize our expe-
ditionary capabilities. So, we can go
anywhere, any time with flyers and
maintainers operating as one unit."
At its height, CMO-11 mustered 680
officer and enlisted personnel.
"Our maintainers will all revert
to VP squadrons. And junior officers
will once again hone their leadership
skills as branch officers in charge
of the various maintenance shops.
The only people losing their jobs are
me, my XO and my command master
chief," said McCormick.
The CMO-11 Disestablishment
Ceremony is scheduled for March 6 at
10 a.m. in Hangar 1000.

New car rotation never works
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
For as long as we've been mar-
ried, Dustin has tried to imple-
ment a "new car rotation." The
plan looks good on paper. If Dustin
buys a new car, the theory goes that
I won't get a new car for another
four years. Then the system reverses:
Dustin keeps his old car; I get a new
one. Dustin's plan also involves hav-
ing only one car payment.
So far, this plan has never worked.
Part of my dowry, you could say,
back in 1999 was a 10-year old Ford
Bronco II, which Dustin worried
might have problems on his dime.
(Dustin's car at the time was a newer
Volkswagen Jetta. One of the perks
of going to the Naval Academy, incur-
ring no debt, and having a salary
fresh out of college.)
He was especially worried about
my Bronco making the cross-coun-
try move to our new duty station
in San Diego eight weeks after our
wedding. My dad, however, who had
maintained my Bronco since I was
16 years old, mentioned in his toast
to us at the wedding reception that
despite Dustin's anxiety about the
aging Bronco, it was the "least expen-
sive thing" Dad was handing over to
him that day.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Everyone laughed. I
blushed. Dustin felt relieved.
About two weeks later, as we drove
to our temporary home in Pensacola,
Fla., where Dustin was finishing up
flight school, my Bronco's engine
exploded at midnight in the middle of
a dark, lonely highway. There wasn't
a welcoming building or human for at
least thirty miles. Dustin mentioned
my dad a few times as we sat there
stranded on the side of the road.
One new, very expensive engine
later (an engine that cost more than
the car was worth), Dustin and I inex-
plicably chose to ship his Jetta with
our household goods to San Diego and
drive the Bronco across country to our
new home. It had a new engine after
all.
We weren't in San Diego long when
I found out I was pregnant with our
first son.
"I can't drive this old, unreliable car
with a new baby," I told Dustin.
"But I just put a new engine in it,"
he said.
Soon, we were at a dealership trad-
ing in my Bronco, whose body would
be sold for scrap metal, and whose
shiny new engine (the one we just
bought) would be used as a trans-
planted car-organ.
"Let me do the negotiating," Dustin
said. "So we can get a good deal."
Turns out, he should have just left
me at home, because when Dustin got
tough with the salesman, I panicked
about his hardball tactics and said (in
front of the salesman), "Dustin, stop
being so mean to him! He's trying
to give us a deal!" It ended up being
necessary to trade the Jetta and the
Bronco to get the car I wanted. In this
"new car rotation," the first of our
marriage, Dustin left the deal with no
car.
Once we relocated again, this time
to Jacksonville, Fla., and Dustin
returned from his first deployment, he
bought himself a used pick-up truck
that shook like it would explode when
it approached 40 miles per hour. A
few years later, now in Pensacola,
Fla., Dustin decided it was finally
time to get himself a new car. And he
wanted it to be a sports car.
But I had two children in car seats
at this point. Dustin's conscience got
the best of him, and he bought me
and the kids a new Ford Freestyle
instead. He rotated the "old" Ford
Explorer to himself.
These days I have three children
to transport in my car. The Fi-..-ly.i1.
was getting cramped, so I was shocked
when Dustin came home last week
and said, "I'm thinking about buying
myself a new car."
"A new car? I can't even fit the boys
in the one I have," I said.
"But I want to get a fun sports car,"
he said.
A few days later, Dustin inherited
my "old" Freestyle and I drove away
with a new mini-van.
"What happened to our rotation
plan?" Dustin asked.
"We still have one. When I get a
new car, we rotate, and your get my
old one."
Dustin looked sad. So I told him,
"Hey, if you really want the new mini-
van to be yours, it can be."
He chose not to take me up on that
offer. He might not have a new car,
but at least he's not driving a mini-
van.
Then, my friend Stephanie told him,
"But you do have a new car, Dustin.
You have a new-to-you car."
That works for me.

HEY, MONEYCHIC!
Hey, MoneyChic!
Having four kids, it's a treat when we are able to eat
out, even fast food. My problem is that my kids seem to
think it's a free for all when they see the menu.
They want the dessert, the super-sized meal, fancy fro-
zen drinks that are an extra on the kid's meal. I get tired
of sounding like a broken record telling them no and it
takes away from the fun of eating out at all. Any way I
can turn this trend around?
MoneyChic says: Why don't you try this idea. Give
each kid a gift card to your family's favorite eating estab-
lishment. Have them bring along their gift cards the next
time your family is set to eat out. Let them know they will
each be paying for their meal, using their own card.
You'll be surprised at just how much the requests
change when they are paying for them on their own cards.
If you have a hold out that still likes to splurge that is
fine, but that child may miss out on a meal later or only
get a "snack" during the next outing.
This is a small teaching tool for finances later in life as
well.

Many years ago I
was exploring a
cave with some
friends. It was dark, damp
and full of tight spots and
difficult obstacles.
About an hour into our
adventure my flashlight
died and I had no spare bat-

I could navigate with the
lights from those around
me. But then, I blindly
bumped into and stumbled
over obstacles. I discovered
that, without my own light,
I couldn't see the path
ahead of me well enough to
avoid danger.
This story has great par-
allel to our lives. As we
navigate life's perilous envi-
ronment, we find ourselves
stumbling with decisions
and getting knocked around
by life because we can't see
where we're going.
To plot a course through
life's challenges, each of
us needs to increase our
spirituality to brighten our
path.

NCIS targets identity theft
By MCI (SW/AW) Kristen Allen
Naval Criminal Investigative Service Public Affairs
The Naval Criminal Investiga-
tive Service (NCIS) is focusing
its crime reduction program
(CRP) campaign on identity theft
through March 31. "Identity theft
is one of the fastest growing crimes
in our country," said NCIS Special
Agent Carrie Nelson, CRP coordina-
tor. "This campaign is designed to
highlight the protective actions indi-
viduals can take to safeguard them-
selves from becoming a victim."
NCIS has been working closely with
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
to provide the most current informa-
tion on identity theft to all Sailors
and Marines during this campaign.
The FTC is the federal government's
center for resources, information, and
coordination with other agencies on
identity theft issues. FTC's campaign
motto in fighting identity theft is to
deter, detect, and defend.
"We do training around the coun-
try for federal, state and local law
enforcement officers on how to investi-
gate identity crimes and how to assist
victims who come to them with identi-
ty theft problems," said Betsy Broder,
assistant director, FTC Division of
Privacy and Identity Protection. "We
have a very comprehensive program
on consumer education at large and
victim assistance."
Victims can report identity theft
by writing to the FTC, completing
an online complaint form at https://
www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, or
calling FTC's toll free hotline 1-877-
ID-THEFT (438-4338). Complaint
forms and identity theft information
materials are available in English
and Spanish.
Broder noted more than 300,000
identity theft complaints were filed
with the FTC in 2008. She said ser-
vice members can have particular
problems with identity theft because
their Social Security numbers are so
closely intertwined with their iden-
tities, and Social Security numbers
are often what identity thieves are
looking for to open up new accounts.
Deployments and being stationed
overseas also put Sailors and Marines
at risk.
Broder advised service members to
be vigilant when handling personal
identifying information, especially for
those living on ships, or in barracks
or other communal living areas where
it may not be as easy to protect infor-
mation. She said, "With computers,
every file that has information about
you should at least be password pro-
tected, and you should have appropri-
ate filters and firewalls to help pre-
vent electronic ID theft."
Broder explained members of the
armed services who are deploying can
place an active duty alert on their
credit file, which serves as a red flag
to help prevent fraudulent accounts
from being opened. If someone
attempts to open an account in the
service member's name while they are
away from their home duty station, it
will alert the creditor to ask the appli-
cant for more information and pieces
of identification.
She also suggested checking a credit
report before and after deployments.
"You are entitled to one free cred-
it report per year from each of the
three credit reporting agencies," said
Broder.
"It's a good idea to check one before
you deploy to make sure everything
is okay, and then check a report from
another agency when you return
from the deployment to make sure no
fraudulent accounts were opened in
your absence." Broder said there are
other important steps service mem-
GET OUT OF
NICOTINE JAIL FREE
bers and their families can take to
prevent identity theft. They include
shredding documents with person-
al information; not carrying Social
Security numbers in wallets or purs-
es; safeguarding military IDs; not
giving out personal information on
the phone, through mail, or over the
Internet unless a person knows who
they're dealing with; not lending out
credit cards or account information;
not clicking on unsolicited e-mails;
not letting mail pile up if unable to
collect it; and not using obvious pass-
words like your birth date, mother's
maiden name, or the last four digits
of your Social Security number.
For those who do fall victim to iden-
tity theft, Broder said the first thing
to do is put a fraud alert on your
credit file. Service members can call
one of the credit reporting agencies to
place the alert, and they will convey
the alert to the other two agencies.
All fraudulent accounts need to be
closed as soon as possible by phone
and followed up in writing, and the
service member needs to keep good
records of all papers and correspon-
dence sent out regarding the fraudu-
lent accounts.
Identity theft victims need to file a
police report in order to pursue their
rights and start clearing their name
and cleaning up credit reports. Sailors
and Marines in the United States can
make a report at any police depart-
ment. Personnel who are deployed or
stationed overseas, can file a report
with base law enforcement.
Broder also advised bringing the
issue to the attention of your com-
mand because it may require quite a
bit of time to resolve the issues, and
reporting identity theft issues to the
FTC.
The FTC's main identity theft web-
site is http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/
microsites/idtheft/. The site contains
links for consumers, businesses, mili-
tary, law enforcement, and a refer-
ence desk with resources including
pamphlets and brochures.

Navy Supply Corps
celebrates 214 years
By Kari Hansen
FISCJ Corporate Communications
The Navy Supply Corps 214th birthday was celebrated Feb.
24 at the NAS Jacksonville Officers' Club. Held in conjunc-
tion with the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC)
Jax Regional Supply Officers Conference (RSOC), the event was
attended by over 100 active duty, retired and civilian logisticians.
Guest speaker was Rear Adm. William Brown, commander, Fleet
and Industrial Supply Centers. He stressed the importance of rec-
ognizing the supply community workforce is skilled in a wide array
of disciplines, such as supply chain in i, ,. in.i, contracting, fuels
in n .-. in. i transportation, physical distribution and ordnance
inventory in ii .i :, in. i
"As we celebrate the founding of our Navy Supply Corps, keep
in mind the Commander's Guidance of Rear Adm. Mike Lyden
(Commander, NAVSUP). Remember how our supply community
superbly supports our Navy, Marine Corps, joint and coalition forc-
es around the clock and across the globe," said Brown.
He presented a slide show of photos depicting Navy Supply
operations all over the world. "As we build the Navy of the future,
we need to keep diversity in mind as we recruit in a wide array of
positions supporting today's Fleet readiness, our Sailors and their
families."
Brown also highlighted accomplishments FISC Jax in the local
tri-base area operations. "Capt. Rau and his team are highly
respected within the Southeast region. This reputation is critical
to our customers, especially with the establishment of the 4th Fleet
at Mayport. Rear Adm. Joe Kernan (Commander, U.S. 4th Fleet)
understands that expert logisticians are just a phone call away for
superior support."
FISC Jax Commanding Officer Capt. Karl Rau presented a
plaque to Brown with his last name spelled out in phonetic alpha-
bet flags.

HS-15 to support
special warfare in Iraq
By Clark Pierce -
Editor I I
S regardless of our assigned mis-
sion, the Red Lions are trained
SR/to provide the right aircraft,
in the right configuration, with the right
crews at right-on readiness," said HS-15
Commanding Officer Cmdr. Chris Misner
in a recent interview at his hangar office at
NAS Jacksonville.
That "right" attitude has taken shape as
an unconventional, land-based deployment
of HS-15 in support of joint special opera-
tions units in Iraq. The six-month mission
involves 70 aircrew and maintainers who
will operate four HH-60H Seahawk helicop-
ters from a combined special forces base in
the vicinity of Baghdad.
"In 2008, our squadron leaders saw poten-
tial to deploy outside of the traditional FRTP
(Fleet Readiness Training Plan) deployment
cycle and utilize our assets to support NSW
(Navy Special Warfare) in an innovative
manner," said Misner. "We consulted with
our brethren, the 'Red Wolves' of HSC-84 at
NS Norfolk, Va. They are a Naval Reserve
Helicopter Sea Combat squadron and the
only one dedicated to NSW support. As a
result, we mapped out our training plan
that involved exercises with a number of
Navy SEAL teams based on both the east
and west coasts."
Misner explained that no new mission
skill sets were required. "Our aircrews are
well-versed in the HH-60H's primary mis-
sion of combat search and rescue, NSW sup-
port, anti-surface warfare, medical evacua-

tion and logistics support. For this deploy-
ment, we naturally concentrated our train-
ing on NSW support, which includes covert
missions against high value targets utilizing
night vision devices. In fact, our people will
rarely see the light of day. Every mission
will take place under the cover of darkness."
Last fall, the Red Lions conducted insert
and extract operations in Virginia with
SEAL Team 10. At Fort Knox, Ky., they con-
ducted intelligence-surveillance-reconnais-
sance and call-for-fire missions with SEAL
Team 2.
In 2009, the squadron flew four Seahawks

Center at Fort Irwin, Calif. for counterin-

cation exercise. From Fort Irwin, the detach-
ment flew to Marine Corps Air Station in

'Mad Foxes' build community in Okinawa
Sailor reups
By MC3 Jason Wilson
Dressed in their winter work-
ing uniforms, Sailors from
VP-5 cautiously approached
the Tsukushi-En Childcare Center in
Okinawa, Japan Feb. 12.
The contingent of "Mad Foxes"
was unsure how the children would
respond to them. They were told that
the kids might be intimidated by mil-
itary uniforms. As they got closer,
voices and many sets of young faces
greeted them through a window.
A young Japanese boy, armed with
a playful expression and a cowboy hat,
met them at the front door. Squeaky,
lighthearted voices bounced off of the
walls and seemed to come from every
direction.
The children's mothers were with
them on this day, and although there
was a major language barrier, the
Sailors learned that communication
can be so much more than just spoken
words.
At first, the distance in ages and
cultures was disorienting, but as the
children quickly warmed up to the
smiles of the Sailors, as the singing
and dancing began.

"My favorite part was when we were
dancing with the kids and counting in
our language while they were count-
ing in theirs. It was definitely a learn-
ing experience for all of us," said NC1
Tanarsha Fabian, VP-5 community
relations coordinator.
Community relations, or COMREL,
are an integral part of the U.S. mili-
tary, especially in territories where
there is a major U.S. presence.

"It is beneficial that we do these
events to secure good relations with
the Japanese people," said CS2
Hashan Morgan.
"There are many locals here in
Japan who see us as bad guys. These
events help us change the way the
Japanese look at the U.S. military."
Last month, the Mad Foxes went to
a park in Okinawa to pick up trash
and rake leaves. Fabian coordinates
all events through the COMREL
coordinator for the Commander Fleet
Activities Okinawa (CFAO).
"There are many more COMREL
events to come," said Fabian. "For the
next one we are working with English
teachers here on base. Our Sailors
will help tutor children."
Children seem to be an important
link between native communities and
our military members.
As the Mad Foxes wrapped up their
day at the Tsukushi-En Childcare
Center, they passed out personalized
valentines to each child.
The children were eager to give the
Sailors high-fives and hugs in return.
The Sailors departed to the sounds of
warm applause and cheery goodbyes.

Information center for retired military a good resource
By Fred Van Leeuwen
Special Contributor
The NAS Jacksonville Retired
Activities Office (RAO) is a
SecNav-directed program that
provides assistance and information
to military retirees and their fam-
ily members -as well as active duty
members contemplating retirement.
The RAO is the central point for
assistance on military related issues
related to the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS), includ-
ing:
Reporting the death of a service
member or spouse
Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) coun-
seling and claims
Retired pay issues
Claims for unpaid compensation
Veterans benefits
Social Security benefits
One of our most important servic-
es is to assist the recent widow with
notification of appropriate agencies.
The loss of a loved one is traumatic.
After completing the required paper-
work to stop payments that would
only have to be returned, we help sur-
vivors to obtain any new benefits due
them. RAO volunteers serve all mili-
tary retirees, regardless of branch of
service.
The NAS Jacksonville RAO office
is located in the Fleet and Family
Support Center at the corner of
Enterprise Avenue and Child Street.
Representatives are available from 10
a.m. 2 p.m. daily, except weekends
and holidays. Walk-ins are welcome
and appointments may be made by
calling 542-2766, ext. 126. If you are
interested in becoming an RAO volun-
teer, give us a call or stop by.

Joseph Blalock with a framed copy of his commissioning certificate from the President of the
United States.
CNATTU chief pins on Ensign bars
By AEC Raymond Derrick
Public Affairs Officer
ADC(AW) Joseph Blalock was
commissioned an Ensign in
Feb. 27 ceremony held at the
Zone Reception Hall on board NAS
Jacksonville.
Blalock was selected through the Limited
Duty Officer (LDO) program that is
designed to provide commissioning oppor-
tunities to highly qualified senior enlisted
personnel. An LDO is a technically orient-
ed officer who performs duties limited to a
specific occupational field and has strong
managerial skills beyond what is normally
expected.
A native of Dallas, N.C., Blalock attend-
ed Recruit Training Command, Great
Lakes, Illinois in 1997. Upon graduation,
he completed Aviation Machinist Mate "A"
School at Naval Air Technical Training
Center in Pensacola, Fla., with his first
duty assignment to HS-15 at NAS Jax.
Subsequent duty assignments includ-
ed Center for Naval Aviation Technical
Training Unit (CNATTU) Jacksonville.
He completed one deployment on the USS
Dwight D. Eisenhower, two on USS George
Washington, and a 12-month Individual
Augmentee assignment with HSC-26 in
Iraq.
At the commissioning ceremony,
Blalock's wife, Sandy, and mother, Pat,
did the official pinning of the Ensign
bars and Master Chief Petty Officer of
Fighter Squadron Composite (VFC) 12,
Roger McCauley, did the Presentation of
Cover. His Oath of Office was taken from
CNATTU Commanding Officer, Cmdr.
Allen Crisp, to whom Ensign Blalock ren-
dered his first salute.
"Becoming a Naval Officer is a welcome
challenge. This allows me many opportuni-
ties to serve the Navy and our Sailors. My
selection is the reflection of the leaders I
have learned from and the junior Sailors
that have helped me along," said Blalock.
"It is a real honor and privilege to com-
mission ENS Blalock today. He is a wel-
come addition to the Wardroom and I know
he will be a superb aviation maintenance
officer," said Crisp.
After completing LDO training at
Navy Officer Training Command, Rhode
Island and Assistant Maintenance Officer
Training at NAS Pensacola, Blalock will
report to HSC-25 in Guam.
"I'm so excited to see my
children. I left here June
15, 2008 on Father's Day
and have been gone for
eight months. It was a long
tour and we were pretty iso-
lated but I stayed in touch
through e-mails and phone
calls," said HerediaPerez.
To help with the home-
coming, members of the Air
Operations Department and
HSM-70 gathered in the
school's media center where
ETl(SW) Justin Weakland
sat in front of a group of
first and second graders.
Seated in the front row
were Aimee HerediaPerez
and her brother, 4-year-old
Nicholas. As Weakland sat
reading the book, H is for
Honor, A Military Family
Alphabet by Devin Scillian,
little did the children know
their parents were hiding
in another room.
As Weakland read,
the children called out
each letter and he gave a
brief description of what
each letter stood for from
the book. When he got to
the letter F for Families,
Weakland asked the chil-
dren if anyone had a family
member currently deployed.
Aimee shyly raised her
hand and responded, "My
dad is and he's far away."
At that point, Weakland
announced that another
Sailor was coming to fin-
ish the story and in walked
HerediaPerez with a small
bouquet of flowers for his
daughter and a rose for his
son.
While Aimee seemed
shocked, her brother cried
tears of joy and gave his dad
a huge hug. The teachers
quickly informed the rest of

the children they were part
of a special homecoming
and all yelled, "Welcome
home!" The family was then
presented a copy of the book
that was being read which
was signed by Aimee's class
members with a photo of
the class.
The surprise reunion was
coordinated by the fam-
ily and school representa-
tives. "We were honored
when Mrs. HerediaPerez
asked if we could do this for
her daughter and decided
to make it an even bigger
event. HSM-70 adopted
our school in December
and comes in and reads to
our students on a regular
basis. So we brought them
in, along with the mem-
bers from Air Operations
to spend some time with
our students. It's such a
positive experience for
our students," comment-
ed Dinsmore Elementary
School Principal Christina
Lord.
"This is such an incred-
ible feeling to be reunited
after so long. We are a very
tight family and being away
from them is the tough-
est part of my job. They've
changed so much and it'll
take some time to get to
know them again. We have
a lot of catching up to do,"
stated HerediaPerez.
ASK THE TAKMAN
By Bob Johnson
Special Contributor
just checked the
Internet to see what
people are asking
about taxes and found an
abundance of Websites
and Blogs that listed their
most-asked questions for
this tax season.
The questions match up
well with those being asked
at the NAS Jacksonville
VITA Tax Center.
1) "How can I take a
deduction for the losses
I have on my stock and
mutual funds accounts?"
Answer: you cannot take
a loss on securities until
you sell them. Until that
time, you haven't incurred
a loss, only an adjustment
to the current value of the
stock.

TAXMAN: Answers
to your questions
From Page 13
Whenever you sell, your loss or gain is determined by
the original cost and the current selling price.
2) "Does the stimulus money that I received last year
affect my tax return?"
Answer: no, it has no effect, but you must report the
amount that your received to ensure that you have a
prompt return of your refund. If you report the wrong
amount, it could delay the processing of your tax return.
3) "What is the most important change in the 2008 tax
law that I can receive a benefit from this year?"
Answer: there are several. First, if you do not itemize
your deductions and you have property that you pay taxes
on, the amount of the property taxes may be added to your
standard deductions but limited to $500 for single fil-
ers, $1000 for joint filers, and may not exceed the amount
of the property tax. Second, there is the first time home
buyer credit of up to $7,500. If you're considering a home,
check into this credit before you purchase a home.
4) "What is this mortgage insurance I hear about?"
Answer: this year, if you are required to pay for mort-
gage insurance on your home, and you are itemizing
instead of taking the standard deduction, you may take it
as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.
5) "What if I am unable to pay the full amount of my tax
owed?"
Answer: first, you must always file your tax return by
the due date or there can be additional penalties and
interest added to the bill. Go ahead and file the tax return
with Form 9465 and request for a payment agreement.
By doing this, you can always set the amount that you can
pay. There is a fee for setting up an agreement, so, it may
be better to pay all you can when you file and save up for
the rest when you get the bill. Remember, if the tax isn't
paid in full by April 15, you will be liable for additional
penalty and interest.
6) "Are there any deductions associated with losing your
job?"
Answer: you may deduct the expenses for your job
search if you file Schedule A. It has limits and you must
not forget, that if you are receiving unemployment, it is
taxable and you should have taxes withheld.
7) "I loaned a friend some money when he lost his job
and now he will not pay me back. Is there any thing I can
do?"
Answer: this is a common question with no direct
answer. The IRS will ask, "Is it a true debt?" "What action
did you take to collect the debt?" "Was the person related
to you?" If it passes the test of being a true debt, then it
may be deducted as a non-business debt on your Schedule
D as a short-term capital loss. Often we are asked about
collection of unpaid rent. This is not considered a bad
debt. A basis in a bad debt is required for it to be claimed.
Rent owed has no basis.
8) "Can I still claim my college-age child on my tax
return?"
Answer: if the child resides at the college, he or she is
considered a dependent if you still pay more than 50 per-
cent of their total support. If they are under age 24, their
gross income doesn't matter when claiming them on your
tax return. You should alert your child to not claim their
exemption on their return, as it will only cause a problem.
The person who claims the deduction is the only one who
can claim college expenses on Form 1098T.
9) "My wife attends school full time. Can we deduct our
childcare expenses?"
Answer: Childcare is a work-related expense. Your wife
is not working, but, if she is a full-time student for at least
five months during the year, she may use $250 per month
as income in order to show income for the year. The school
may be high school, college or technical school. You may
not use schools offering courses only on the Internet.

Three Navy Medicine
Support Command
(NMSC) Sailors
spent St. Valentine's Day
at Fleming Island High
School in Orange Park
as volunteers for an Area
12-sanctioned NJROTC
drill meet with more than
500 participants from 13
NJROTC squads through-
out Southern Georgia and
Northeast Florida.
HM1 Deshon Martin,
HM2 Rachel Smith and
HM3(SW) Anthony Rivera,
who work in NMSC's
Centralized Credentials and
Privileging Department,
were judges for the 'sit-up
and push-up' portion of the
drill competition.
Thirty-nine other active
duty and reserve service
members joined the NMSC
Sailors as drill volunteers.
They included Sailors
and Marines from NAS
Jacksonville's Center for
Naval Aviation Technical
Training Unit, hospital
corpsmen from Branch
Medical Clinic Jacksonville
and Sailors from VP-30.
There were also National
Guard and Marine Corps
recruiter volunteers.
"It was nice to meet and
work with the Marine and
National Guard recruiters,"
said Smith, who is also an
NMSC Command Fitness
Leader.
"I think everyone involved
did an excellent job of moti-
vating the cadets during the
competition. It was great to
see how much determina-
tion and strength some of
these cadets possessed."
Having service members
on hand created an oppor-
tunity for cadets to gain
personal insight into what
military has to offer.

17-year old senior at South
Effingham High School,
said she has been an

Solving disputes without suing
By Lt.j.g. Matthew Dursa
Legal Assistance Attorney
Clients often come to legal
assistance offices because
they have been wronged
and want to sue. Sometimes it
is necessary to take someone to
court to get what you are owed.
However, there are disadvan-
tages in going to court. Going to
court will take time, as will the
research necessary to prepare
your case. A trip to the court-
house can be expensive, too.
There are filing fees and court
costs, postage, and other expenses
that can quickly add up.
How can you resolve a dispute
without going to court? Let's look
at one example. Let's say you paid
a contractor $2,000 to fix your
leaky roof, and he never even
showed up to try to repair it.
The first (and most often over-
looked) step is to talk to the
opposing party. Communicate in
writing what your dispute is and
what resolution would be accept-
able.
"I paid $2,000, and have yet
to see any improvement in the
leak in my roof. Please return
my money or let me know when
you can make the repairs."
Remember, don't just state the
problem; offer an acceptable solu-
tion.
Another tool you can use is pro-
fessional organizations. Almost
every professional is licensed or
regulated by some agency. Find
out who the appropriate agency is
and file a complaint. This helps
in two ways. First, too many
unresolved complaints against
that person could result in loss of
professional accreditation.
Knowing that a complaint has
been filed with the state licensing
board will encourage the contrac-
tor to resolve the dispute. Second,
some organizations provide free
dispute resolution services. In
our example, a neutral party
with knowledge of the contracting
business might listen to your side
of the story, then the contractor,
and offer a mediated resolution.
Additionally, you can contact
the Better Business Bureau
(BBB). The BBB is a network of
local organizations that gather
and report information on busi-
ness reliability, alert the public
to frauds against consumers, and
act as trusted intermediaries
between consumers and business-
es to resolve disputes.
Even if the contractor is not a
member of the BBB, they may
still be able to help resolve the
issue.
Finally, if you feel the business
dealing was not just unfair, but
illegal, you should contact your
state's attorney general (AG). The
AG is the top law enforcement
officer and lawyer for the state.
The AG's office can investigate
crimes, including fraudulent busi-
ness practices, and tracks all the
complaints it receives.
If our contractor is driving
around the state collecting money
without doing any work, the AG
may press criminal charges.
Even if these tools don't work,
and you find yourself in court, you
will be able to tell the judge that
you tried everything possible to
resolve the case without going to
court, which will help your case.
"Your honor, I didn't want to
burden the court with this prob-
lem, but this contractor was
unreasonable about my complaint
and insisted we go to court!"

Workshop offered for service members preparing for next career
By MCSA Cristina Gabaldon
Staff Writer
he transition from leaving
the military into the civil-
ian world is a tricky one,
especially if you've spent 20 plus
years in the service.
Senior enlisted service mem-
bers, officers and their spouses
from NAS Jacksonville attend-
ed the "Marketing Yourself for a
Second Career Workshop" Feb. 26
at the VP-30 auditorium to help
with that transition.
Retired Air Force Col. Dan
Koslov, deputy director of offi-
cer transition services for the
Military Officers Association of
America, was the lecturer for the
presentation.
"This presentation is about
transitioning from a military
career to a civilian career and
changing from a military life to
a civilian life," said Koslov. "It is
geared towards military person-
nel, but I feel like it's very impor-
tant to have your spouse there as
well," he said.
Koslov served over 29 years on
active duty and has experience in
the officer assignments and com-
pensation policy areas of military
personnel. Koslov has also done
research on the transition process
and travels worldwide to coun-
sel military personnel and their
families giving them the tools for
a smooth transition.
The room full of officers, chiefs
and spouses listened intently as
Koslov spoke about how to start
their next career with tips on how
to write resumes, attending job
fairs, appropriate things to talk
about in interviews and dealing
with being rejected. He ended the
seminar by getting everyone's
mailing address to send them a
book that can be used as a tool for
the transition.
"This brief is presented at
more than 150 military instal-
lations annually. We are fortu-
nate that they come to NAS Jax
every February to offer it to our
service members," said NAS Jax
Transition Assistance Program
Coordinator Rich Brown of the
Fleet and Family Support Center.
"It's a great tool to augment
the information that is put out
in all the Transition Assistance
Program workshops held here
monthly. It quickly summarizes
three days worth of material in a
couple hours and is presented in
a very upbeat and easy to under-
stand method."
For more information on tran-
sitioning out of the military
or for the Transition Assistance
Program, contact the Fleet and
Family Support Center at 542-2766.
CertifiChecks ceases operations: Users must contact company .B'. ,
By Kevin Robinson,
DeCA Public Affairs Specialist
CertifiChecks Inc.,
the third-party pro-
vider that has pro-
vided Defense Commissary
Agency (DeCA) gift certifi-
cates for authorized cus-
tomers since 2002, has
ceased operations.
As a result, all sales of
CertifiChecks have halted
and customers possessing
them cannot use them in
commissaries at this time.
The company Web site,
www.certifichecks.com,
announced effective Feb.
26 that it will "no longer
administer gift certificate
programs" and further
advised customers with
CertifiChecks to "submit for
potential reimbursement"
to the following address:
CertifiChecks Inc., Attn:
Redemption Dept., 1435
Shoup Mill Road, Dayton,
Ohio, 45414.
"What happened to
CertifiChecks is simi-
lar to many businesses
being adversely affected
by the current economic
downturn," said Philip E.
Sakowitz Jr., DeCA's direc-
tor and chief executive offi-
cer. "Unfortunately, in this
case the situation directly
affects our commissary cus-
tomers.
"I regret the impact this
may have on our custom-
ers," he added. "However,
as an appropriated fund
entity, in accordance with
federal law we can no lon-
ger accept these certificates
at this time. We are, how-
ever, looking for an alter-
native solution to fulfill
our customers' requests
for commissary gift certifi-
cates."
DeCA's use of gift certifi-
cates became a popular way
for the families and friends
of service members to give
them "the gift of grocer-
ies." Since 2002, more than
$17.5 million in gift certifi-
cates have been purchased
for authorized customers.
The gift certificate pro-
gram became a prominent
method for military and
civilian aid organizations,
such as installation chap-
lains funds, the Air Force
Aid Society, the USO,
Operation Homefront,
Operation Interdependence,
and the Fisher House
Foundation, to extend dona-
tions to military families in
need.
The certificates also
became a major part of com-
missary vendor giveaways
at store grand openings and
other customer outreach
events.

NMSC DRILL: Students interact with active duty
From Page 14
NJROTC cadet for the past four years and
will graduate in May.
"Seeing real live military people at the
drills, I get to see the positive things they
do in the community," said Passailaigue.
"For instance, military volunteers at the
drills give us advice on our performance
and tips on how to look sharp in uniform
for our inspections."
Passailaigue has joined the Navy and
will attend Navy boot camp in September.
"I asked my NJROTC instructor and the
recruiters a lot of questions, and the Navy
was the most appealing," she said. "I also
liked the idea of traveling the world."
For Passailaigue, the efforts of the NMSC
Hospital Corpsmen and the other military
volunteers presented the high school stu-
dents a valuable opportunity.
"I liked being able to ask somebody other
than my recruiter my questions," she said,
"because I get to hear something besides
what sounds like a sales pitch."
