Iron Chef Competition
By MC1 Toiete Jackson
Fleet Public. Center, Detachment
Southeast
Naval Station Mayport played
host to Commander, Navy
Region Southeast's second
Navy Iron Chef competition
with renowned guest, Chef Cat
Cora from Food Networks Iron
Chef America on Nov. 13.
Chef Cat Cora was on hand
to judge the battle along with
Chief of Staff Capt. Mathew
Schellhorn, representing
Commander, Navy Region
Southeast and local Chef Brett
Harris from World Grill.
"I think throwing Iron
Chef battles and competitions
between teams is really great
for culinary careers for all the
enlisted. It really gives them a
chance to put their skills to use
in a competition style format.
I think they learn a lot from
each other, seeing the different
food and quality," said Cora.
"Speed skill, technique, it's an
all encompassing benefit for
everybody."
The battle began as the eight
teams from various commands
comprised of Navy Culinary
Specialists and Moral Welfare
Recreation Food and Beverage
Teams throughout the Southeast
Region were told the secret
ingredient they had to use in
their dishes was the potato. The
teams had to create three dif-
ferent dishes using the various
potatoes, pantry items provided
and their own special spices and
equipment.
Regional Food Service
Officer, Chief Warrant Officer
Kathy Wiseman, said that this
event allowed the cooks the
opportunity to produce some-
thing new off the top of their
heads by not letting them know
the main ingredient until the last

More predictability for
Sailors is the goal as the Navy
transitions from individual aug-
mentee (IA) assignments to
Global war on terrorism Support
Assignments (GSA), announced
Chief of Naval Personnel
(CNP), Nov. 7.
"The more I talk to Sailors
around the fleet the more I'm
convinced Global war on terror-
ism Support Assignments is the
right thing to do. I look forward
to pressing ahead on this plan,"
said Vice Adm. J.C. Harvey,
CNP, who released the latest
GSA NAVADMIN 297/07, Nov.
7, to provide an update on the
transition.
The Navy first introduced the
GSA detailing concept in June
2007, via NAVADMIN 147/07.
This process allows Sailors
to negotiate for an IA when it
fits their needs. Eventually it
will replace the need to pull
Sailors from other assignments
mid-tour in order to fill an IA,
according to Rear Adm. Sonny
Masso, Deputy Chief of Naval
Personnel.
"We're done studying the
issue. We've tested enough bil-
lets to make sure the system
will work. It's time to move out
and make this happen," added
Masso.
The plan allows Sailors
to negotiate eight-month
or 14-month PCS orders to
an Expeditionary Combat
Readiness Center (ECRC) for
an assignment in theater in sup-
port of GWOT, according to
Master Chief Sonar Technician
Surface (SW) James Stone,
head, enlisted GSA detailer.
In addition to billets in Iraq
and Afghanistan, GSA detail-
ing will also cover assign-
ments to the Horn of Africa,
Kuwait, Bahrain, Germany,
South America, Cuba, Kosovo,
Philippines, and even state-
side duty in Tampa, Fla., and
Arlington, Va.
"The feedback from the
Sailors I've detailed has been
positive so far. They get to
choose where and when they go,
and it helps commands because
they don't have to choose what
Sailors they are going to send,"
said Stone.
Currently Information
Systems Technician, Master-
at-Arms, and Yeoman are the
most in-demand enlisted rat-
ings, added Stone. However,
Sailors with comparable skills
sets from other ratings may also
volunteer, said Stone.
To date, more 372 Sailors
have negotiated orders to an
ECRC for GSA, which coor-
dinates and supervises Sailors'
pre-deployment training before
sending them in theater.
Approximately 1,500 enlisted
GSA billets are currently avail-
able on Career Management
System-Interactive Detailing,
the program enlisted Sailors use
to apply for orders.
The Web address is https://
www.cmsid.navy.mil Billets are
listed under the category code
90GS. Officers can contact their
detailer directly for information

Fleet Talk
By FLTCM(SW/SS)
Rick West
Atlantic Fleet Master ( r
Some of you may ask why
the Navy needs to put so much
emphasis on physical fitness.
The answer is simple. Each
of us needs to be ready, at a
moment's notice, to step up and
do what's necessary. For some
in our ranks, that means deploy-
ing to combat zones and work-
ing long hours in intense heat.
For others, it means deploying
on ships and submarines where
maintaining your physical fit-
ness is a challenge. My guess
is that if you are not in shape
when you deploy, you will have
an uphill battle in trying to
improve during deployment.
Getting in shape and stay-
ing in shape is not only a Navy
leadership issue, it's a per-
sonal responsibility. If you are
overweight, the person most
accountable for your situation
is you. The Navy is going to
continue to offer opportunities
and equipment to help you lose
weight and get in shape, but
ultimately it's you who needs
to commit to the program. If
you haven't figured it out yet,
the Navy takes your health seri-
ously, and so should you. As
each of us aspires to leadership,
I challenge each of you to help
your shipmates around you who
may need some motivational
help. If you are going to the
gym take someone with you!
Working hard days and weeks
on end will wear you down both
physically and mentally. If you
are not in good physical shape
you won't be able to keep your
body and mind sharp. The same
can be said of uniform appear-
ance your appearance is a
direct reflection of your atten-
tion to detail and discipline. If
you don't take the time to do the
small things right (uniforms),
you may not give the same level
of attention to your work.
Additionally, others may
not give you the chance to get
involved in important projects
that could positively affect your
career if they feel you don't
present an acceptable appear-
ance. If you cut comers in your
job and don't think appearance
matters, you lower your opera-
tional readiness.
Whether or not the Navy
truly becomes a more fit ser-
vice depends on each of us to
realize our role, both person-
ally and as leaders. Command
support is paramount. We need
to promote physical fitness and
healthy lifestyles.
We need to ensure each
Sailor has the opportunity to
participate in physical fitness
activities. We need to ensure
those Sailors who are outside
our standard are provided moti-
vation and assistance to bring
them back into standards. And
that means you!
I am counting on each and
every one of you to do your best
to get it shape, stay in shape,
and help your shipmates around
you to improve their health as
well.
You are all doing some great
things in our Navy, everyday
I am amazed at the talent and
work ethic that keeps our Navy
at the forefront. Stay safe and
look out for your shipmates.
HOO-YAH.

that Navy MWR has trained
professionals that will assist
you with a fitness regiment....
all you have to do is ask!

Military Spouse Support Columnist
Thanksgiving. We celebrate
Thanksgiving this week and this
is my fourth year of composing
a Thanksgiving Column. I've
been pondering this holiday for
weeks, mostly pondering what
can I write about that hasn't
already been written by other,
more talented columnists.
Then the fires hit California
on the heels of a tornado in
Pensacola, in the midst of a
very real drought in the south
while the Global War on
Terrorism continues. I thought
to myself, how can I write about
Thanksgiving? How can I talk
about giving thanks when things
are so tough for so many? So I
decided to research the original,
first Thanksgiving and I made
an interesting discovery.
Wikipedia states,
"Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving
Day, is an annual one-day holi-
day to give thanks, historically
to God, for the things one has
at the end of the harvest sea-
son ..." Hmm...is that all? So I
did bit more research. In school
plays and cartoons we see the
Pilgrims and Native Americans
sitting down to a huge feast
celebrating the harvest. And,
inferred is "they all lived hap-
pily ever after."
After enduring such a dev-
astating winter they couldn't
kick back and take a summer
vacation. Their summer was
full of long hours of hard work.
They gardened; they felled trees
(without modern equipment)
and built homes, fencing, with
primitive tools. The summer
was HARD.
From their writings we know
that the pilgrims were a deep-
ly religious, Christian, people.
Have you ever wondered why
after such suffering, that they
didn't get angry and curse God
or at the least just ignore Him?
Have you ever gardened? It is
not exactly a recreational activ-
ity. The pilgrims spent the
H omefront in Focus

through the next winter. Instead Is it possible that the pilg
of bitterness toward the God understood the power of gi
that allowed them to suffer, they fulness? In my own life wh
took time to give thanks. The dwell on that is 'wrong' in
pilgrims gave thanks for surviv- life (another holiday sepa
ing, SURVIVING! They had no ed from family, dead car
guarantee that the next winter tery, chronic back pain, anc
would be much better than the deployment) I'm not exactly
previous, but they gave thanks. life of the party. But when
I am spoiled. I enjoy the
bounty and prosperity of living
in an affluent country. I have G re
many creature comforts that I
enjoy... and I live on a military
salary. I am also embarrassed
to admit how ungrateful I can
be for all that I have. I have to
admit I don't like to suffer and I
generally don't suffer quietly.
Like the pilgrims, there are
always going to be hurdles,
challenges, difficulties to be
faced in the future. You may be
in the midst of one right now.
Those challenges are real and .

the Chilean Navy Nov. 8-9 to
discuss interactions and coop-

for 2008 during the U.S. Navy
and Armada de Chile (Chilean

Committee (ONC Chile) con-
ference.
U.S. Naval Forces Southern
Command (NAVSO) in
Mayport, Fla. hosted this year's
conference. ONC Chile is an
annual conference to plan and
agree to the various exercises
and theater security cooperation
events the U.S. and Chile intend
to conduct for the upcoming
year. The ONC brings together
representatives from the U.S.
and Chilean Navy so they can
meet face-to-face to discuss
their country's mutual goals
of maritime security in Latin
America.
"This is the most important,
and the only bi-lateral meeting
to manage different initiatives
in order to improve interoper-
ability, mutual trust and part-
nership," said Chilean Capt.
Francisco Garcia-Huidobro.
"This ONC will enhance the

Doyle Sailors Continue
To Excel And Stay Navy
By Ensign Jason Bilbro
USS Doyle
Sailors on board USS Doyle
(FFG 39) haven't let "channel
fever" get the best of them as
they headed home to Mayport
last week.
Sailors on board focused on
ULTRA-S, qualifications, the
Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC) and retention.
The Doyle Wardroom set the
standard for qualifications dur-
ing deployment, qualifying five
new Ensigns with their Surface
Warfare Officer (SWO) pins,
and earning the right to fly the
Gold SWO Pennant.
Doyle's enlisted Sailors fol-
lowed suit, qualifying 56 Sailors
as Enlisted Surface Warfare
Specialists (ESWS) with anoth-
er three to four predicted before
the ship's arrival in Mayport.
The overwhelming efforts
of the ship's ESWS coordi-
nators helped Doyle earn the
coveted Silver ESWS pen-
nant. Additionally, although the
ESWS program is purely volun-
tary for E-4 and below, Doyle
currently boasts an impressive
48 out of 85 Sailors in those pay
grades with the qualification.
"Our First Class Association
set the bar very high at the
beginning of the deployment,
stating we would achieve the
Silver ESWS pennant before
returning home, regardless of
the time or amount of train-
ing required," explained Doyle
Command Master Chief Roger
Simmons. "Our new ESWS
qualified Sailors have worked
hard to meet the high standards
required to pass the chief petty
officers board, with the end
result being a well trained and
knowledgable crew. I charge
each of our Sailors with pass-
ing their knowledge down to
the next generation of ambitious
Doyle Sailors."
The CFC program has also
been wholeheartedly embraced
by the Doyle crew as the
deployment comes to an end.
Last year, the Doyle crew con-
tributed $7,466 to CFC, and set
itself a goal of $8,200 for the
current year. So far, the ship
is already up to $10,122, easily
surpassing its goal.
"Returning from a six-
month West Africa and Gulf of
Guinea deployment, the crew
was able to see first hand how
fortunate they really are,"
said Doyle CFC Coordinator,

Qualification from Doyle Commanding Officer, Cmdr. Michael Elliott.
Wells is one of nearly 60 Sailors on board Doyle to earn his ESWS quali-
fication while deployed to West Africa. Below, Culinary Specialist 1st
Class (SW) Kenneth Bohan is reenlisted by Doyle's Supply Officer, Ensign
Stephanie Montano. Bohan is one of 20 Sailors who made the decision
to "Stay Navy" on board Doyle during its current deployment to West
Africa.
Chief Hospital Corpsman (SW)
Michael Stoodley. "Every
Sailor has embraced the oppor-
tunity that CFC presents to give
to a variety of charities."
Despite the challeng-
ing nature of the deployment,
Doyle's retention has never
been higher. The ship reenlist-
ed 20 Sailors during the course
of the deployment and gave
out some $242,000 in Selective
Reenlistment Bonuses (SRB).
The ship was well above
CINCLANT Fleet's retention
goal for all three zones (A, B,
and C) in 2007, and earned the
Navy's Retention Excellence
Award for the second consecu-
tive year. Moreover, Doyle's
attrition rate is among the low-
est among ships in the Mayport
with a 5.4 percent overall; well
below the Navy's goal.
"We do a lot to take care of
our guys, and try to keep them
in the Navy," said Doyle's Navy
Councilor 1st Class (SW) Chris
Leonard. "We hold regular
Career Development Boards
(CDB) to keep our Sailors
informed about where they
stand, and what they Navy has
to offer them. We're active with
the Perform to Serve (PTS) pro-
gram, and we maintain up to
date career tracking on each of
our personnel."
Doyle is currently in the final
month of its six-month deploy-
ment to West Africa and the
Gulf of Guinea.

Colombian Armada submarine A.R.C. Tayrona enters Mayport Basin during a visit sponsored by
U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command (NAVSO). NAVSO sponsors foreign military visits to promote
relations with partner nations in Latin America to support Theater Security Cooperation.

By MC2(SW)

U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command
Public. -
U.S. Naval Forces Southern
Command (NAVSO) spon-
sored a port visit to Mayport
for Colombian Armada sub-
marine A.R.C. Tayrona (S-29)
Oct. 29 through Nov. 11 to fur-
ther extend its focus on partner
nation interaction.
Tayrona made the port visit
during a break in training with
various U.S. Navy units along
the East Coast. The submarine
is participating in joint exer-
cises with several U.S. Navy
units, including the Nassau
Expeditionary Strike Group.
"Tayrona's participation
with the U.S. Navy is a great
example of how we're pro-
moting strong partnerships
in this region," said NAVSO
Commander Rear Adm. James
W. Stevenson Jr. "Having the
submarine in Mayport extends
our opportunity to engage with
a close regional partner."
The submarine's exercise role
stems from their involvement
with the diesel electric subma-
rine initiative (DESI). The DESI
program coordinates training
W Ie 4J,
between the U.S. and foreign
navies, focusing on anti-sub-
marine warfare. ESI is a U.S.
Fleet Forces Command (USFF)
program with Commander,
Submarine Force (CSF) acting
the program Executive Agent.
Diesel electric submarines' abil-
ity to run virtually silent pres-
ents a detection challenge to
ships and aircraft. These subs
are only used by foreign navies,
so the U.S. depends on coun-
tries such as Colombia to con-
duct these training exercises.
NAVSO coordinates the
interactions between U.S. Navy
forces and Latin American mili-
tary and civil maritime forces
through various exercises and
events within U.S. Southern
Command's area of focus. For
DESI participants, including
Tayrona, NAVSO sponsors port
visits to Naval Station Mayport,
providing the crew an opportu-
nity to rest and to use various
training facilities.
"During the time in port, the
crew can use the facilities here
at Mayport, as well as at Kings
Bay, to include the simulators
for the submarine as well as
the fire-fighting, damage con-
trol, and flooding facilities they
have here to train the crew,"
explained Colombian Capt.
Hernan Ospina, a foreign liai-
son officer assigned to NAVSO.
"This gives the crew access to
very important training that
increases their proficiency in
operating a submarine."
Tayrona's port visit and par-
ticipation in the training exercis-
es gave the Colombian Sailors
the chance to interact with U.S.
Sailors at sea and on shore at
Naval Station Mayport.
"The interaction between the
two navies is important because
we are both battling against the
illegal flow of drugs, and the
operation of the submarine is
a good way to prove the com-
munications and connectiv-
ity between the two navies,"
said Colombian Capt. Carlos
Polania, Tayrona's commanding
officer.
After their visit to Mayport,
Tayrona's crew returned to sea
to continue anti-submarine war-
fare training with the Nassau
Expeditionary Strike Group.

Public hearings on the
draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for the USS
Mesa Verde (LPD 19) Full Ship
Shock Trials will be held this
month in Florida and Virginia
to give the public an opportu-
nity to comment on the DEIS.
The Navy will hold public hear-
ings at three locations: Kirn
Memorial Library in Norfolk,
Va., on Nov. 27 from 7 to 8:45
p.m.; Pensacola Junior College
Hagler Auditorium in Pensacola,
Fla., on Nov. 28 from 7 to 9
p.m.; and Fletcher High School
Auditorium in Neptune Beach,
Fla., on Nov. 29 from 7 to 9
p.m.
Mesa Verde, third in the
new USS San Antonio (LPD
17) class of amphibious trans-
.rde Shock Trials
port dock ships, is scheduled
to undergo at-sea shock trials
in the spring and summer of
2008 at a location off-shore of
Norfolk, Va.; Mayport, Fla.; or
Pensacola, Fla.
During shock trials, Mesa
Verde will be subjected to
a series of up to four 10,000-
pound explosive charge deto-
nations. Although computer
modeling and component test-
ing have been conducted, at-
sea shock trials provide the best
means for the Navy to com-
prehensively assess the ship's
shock response.
In accordance with the
National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, the Navy
announced on Oct. 26 the avail-
ability of the DEIS, which eval-
uates the environmental conse-
quences of conducting the Mesa
Verde shock trials at the three
different at-sea locations. An
electronic copy of the document
can be downloaded at: http://

Navy is committed to protect-
ing the environment and work-
ing with those interested in pro-
tecting natural resources. The
public is invited to present com-
ments for the official record,

Mountain biking, canoeing
and running were just some of
the skill challenges that partici-
pants had to partake in during
the Xtreme Challenge at NSB
Kings Bay Nov. 8 and 9.
The Xtreme Challenge
was sponsored by Outdoor
Adventures and had a total of
seven teams from all over Navy
Region Southeast. Each team
consisted of three members,
two of whom had to be active
duty military, reserve or retired.
Teams were also required to
have at least one female. Teams
from NS Mayport, NSB Kings
Bay, NAS Key West and NAS
Jacksonville each accepted the
challenge presented by the two-
day event.
The challenge was broken
up into two days with several
events that tested each team's
speed, endurance and ability to
work together as one. Day one
consisted of a four-mile canoe
race, followed by a 7.5-mile
run to the base pool where each
Participates In Annual Xtreme Challenge
team had to swim 27 laps (nine
by each team member) then run
the 7.5 miles back to the start-
ing point to pick up their bikes
for an eight-mile mountain bike
course. At the end of day one,
each team trekked out into the
wilderness to find a point on a
map with nothing but a compass
to guide them.
Day two started with a four-
mile canoe race and a team rope
climbing challenge followed by
a 25-mile mountain bike/paint-
ball course. An eight-mile dash
to the finish line concluded the
event.
"The main reason I think this
is such an 'Xtreme Challenge'
is based on the fact that it is
non stop movement with-
out any rest," said NSB Kings
Bay Outdoor Programmer for
Outdoor Adventures Donnie
Popham. "This event mainly
tests each team's endurance
and how well they trained as a
whole."
The goal of the event was to
determine which teams would

base will travel to Cuba on an

"Our team had a lot of fun
which was the key to our suc-
cess and we are looking for-
ward to competing in Cuba," Lt.
Sam Tasker, Center for Security
Forces LS Mayport (Mayport's
Team Leonidas). "We are thank-
ful to have had the opportunity
to participate in this competition
while on shore duty and we are
mindful of our colleagues serv-
ing overseas that do not have
the same opportunities."
Key West's Team America
finished first overall with a time
of 9:03:47 followed by Kings
Bay's Capt. JJ's Motivators at
9:09:03. Mayport's Leonidas

tively with times of 11:47:00

time of 12:40:26. Key West's
FUHRC was unable to finish
due to an injury to one its team
members on day one.
"This was an awesome event.
It was definitely one of the
toughest things I've done, but
I loved it. I think the hardest
part was running seven and a
half miles and then jumping in
the cold water for the swim-
ming portion. We wore our-
selves out but everything went

go to Guantanamo Bay and are
very excited about going and
representing the base and our
command."
"It was a very long drive
up here from Key West and
we were just happy to make
it here," said Key West Team
America Team Captain Maj.
Jonathan Stabile. "Kings Bay
came out strong during the first
half, but we felt like we were
able to push through the pain
and hold onto the top spot."

Haly Visits Panama, Supports Theater Sec Co-Op
By Ensign Jeramy Brux
USS Halyburton Public. ;"
Sailors from USS Halyburton
(FFG 40) volunteered for a com-
munity relations (COMREL)
project and participated in an
exchange with the Panamanian
Servicio Maritimo Nacional
(Panamanian Navy) while in
port the end of October.
During the COMREL,
Sailors visited the Provida
Foundation in Vasco Nunez
De Balboa, a home for abused
and neglected children. Sailors
did minor repairs and paint-
ing at the Provida Foundation.
The highlight of the day was
a Halloween party and cook-
out for the children. According
to missionaries there, the chil-
dren had been talking about the
return of the American Sailors
for days.
Halyburton Sailors have vol-
unteered several times at the
Provida Home during their
Counter Narcoterrorism deploy-
ment this year. Some Sailors
onboard have grown quite
attached to the children at the
Provida Home and have really
enjoyed the time they spent vol-
unteering. Information Systems
Technician 1t Class (SW/AW)
Derek Duke said, "I enjoyed
spending time with the chil-
dren and learning from them.
It felt really good knowing how
much our visits meant to the
children."
The director of the Provida
Foundation Flor Estrella
Galina de P6rez was happy to
see Halyburton Sailors again
because they and the children
at the home have developed a
meaningful relationship over the
last few months. He stated "This
may be small for you Sailors,
but for the children and those
that provide for them everyday
it tells us that people do care
for other people. It creates unity
and it bonds the United States
and Panama together as part-
ners. I thank you for this."
Some Halyburton Sailors
were also able to conduct a
military-to-military exchange
with the Panamanian Navy. The
exchange was designed so that
U.S. and Panamanian Sailors
could learn from each other. The
exchange included a range of
topics from shipboard mainte-
nance and safety, to small arms
maintenance.
During the small arms
exchange, Panamanian
Sailors displayed a vari-
ety of Panamanian weap-
ons. Halyburton Sailor Chief
Gunner's Mate (Surface
Warfare) Craig Bean demon-
strated proper weapon disassem-
bly and cleaning procedures.
Bean said "It was an excellent
opportunity to cross-train and
gain knowledge and experience
with each other's small arms,"
said Bean. "We both learned a
lot from this exchange."
Maintenance and administra-
tion programs were also discus-
sion topics. Panamanian and
U.S. Sailors had the opportu-
nity to show each other lho\\
work gets done" in their respec-
tive services. Senior Chief
Engineman (Surface Warfare)
Ivan Wallace conducted small
boat inboard and outboard
engine maintenance train-
ing. The Panamanian Sailors
were especially interested in
Wallace's suggestions on how
they could better integrate their
operations and maintenance.

'Conversation With The
Country'
By MC2 Joseph J. Olivares
Navy Operational Support Center
MiaminFleet Public. Center
Southeast
Officials from the U.S. Navy,
Marines Corps and Coast Guard
participated in a symposium
at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral
Gables, Fla., Nov. 15, to pres-
ent the new maritime strat-
egy, known as "A Cooperative
Strategy for 21st Century
Seapower" the first revision
to the strategy since the height
of the Cold War.
Miami was the first location
in a series of national conversa-
tions with the country that will
bring together a wide cross-
section of American society to
openly discuss the future roles
of the Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard in protecting the
homeland and working with
global partners to prevent war.
More than 170 people from
the Miami area, including busi-
ness and civic leaders, partici-
pated in the event.
The new maritime strat-
egy draws the three sea ser-
vices closer together to pro-
vide a layered defense of the
United States and is the first to
be signed by all three service
chiefs.
"Ever since 9/11 there has
Flying By Mt. Fuji
Kicks off In Miami
been greater cooperation
between the Navy and the Coast
Guard in performing their mari-
time missions and operations,"
said Coast Guard Vice Adm.
Brian Peterman, commander,
Atlantic Area Command.
The strategy recognizes the
economic links of the global
economy and how any disrup-
tion due to regional crises-
manmade or natural can have
adverse impacts on the U.S.
economy and quality of life.
Vice Adm. John Morgan, dep-
uty chief of naval operations for
information, plans and strategy,
explained that 90 percent of the
world's commerce crosses the
oceans and world prosperity
and security depend on the free
use of the seas.
"Markets crave security
and our vital interests are best
served by a stable global sys-
tem," Morgan said. "The last
strategy was developed in 1986
and the new strategy will meet
emerging challenges in an
uncertain world."
The strategy provides the
right balance of forces to con-
duct traditional combat missions
while elevating the prevention
of war to the same level as pro-
viding credible combat power
to fight and win war. It is based
on six expanded core capa-
bilities of Forward Presence,
Deterrence, Sea Control, Power
Projection, Maritime Security
and Humanitarian Assistance/
Disaster Response.
"We have always respond-
ed in disaster relief, but now
it's important to prepare,
train and equip for missions
in a preventive fashion," said
Cmdr. Bryan McGrath, branch
chief with the Chief of Naval
Operations Strategic Action
Group. McGrath pointed to the
USNS Comfort's (T-AH 20)
trip through Central America
and the disaster relief efforts in
Haiti and Dominican Republic
as examples of quick response
operations.
Morgan explained to the
crowd that working with other
countries promotes international
cooperation and partnerships
that assist in global maritime
security. He said, "Our actions
around the world are aimed at
preventing war by attacking the
seeds that aim to cause war."
The keynote speaker, Adm.
James Stavridis, Commander,
U.S. Southern Command, talked
about the critical need for a new
maritime strategy in a changing
world.

NH Jax Sailors Feed Homeless Veterans
By Marsha Childs
NHJ Marketing
The Friday before Veterans
Day nearly 40 Naval Hospital
Jacksonville doctors, nurses,
hospital corpsmen and others
gathered at the Jacksonville, Fla.
City Rescue Mission (CRM) to
serve food the city's disadvan-
taged homeless, many of whom
are military veterans.
"It's veterans serving
other veterans," observed
Commanding Officer Capt.
Raquel Bono. "I think part of it
is we are a service organization.
It is who we are. Some of the
homeless are veterans who have
served our country and we need
to find ways to serve them," she
said.
One veteran who benefits
from the services offered at
the mission is Beau Skipper
who served eight and one-half
months in Iraq in 2003.
"At the end of my enlistment,
I touched it [cocaine]." He said
he remembered thinking, "I'm a
Marine, I can handle anything."
It wasn't until his second bout
with the drug four months later

Three months after his initial
interview in November 2006
with the White House Command
Master Chief and NCIS agents
in Washington, D.C., Naval
Hospital Jacksonville Culinary
Specialist Second Class Sonny
Lalatag finally learned he was
accepted to the White House
Mess. He would have the dis-
tinct honor of cooking for the
President of the United States,
his family and guests.
Lalatag never imagined he
would end up in such a cov-

that he became addicted.
Skipper traveled to
Jacksonville at the urging of his alcohol treatment.
family in Indiana for drug and "When I really saw it unrav-
eling, that's when I thought,
'There has to be something else
out there,'" he explained.
Although he has never been
homeless, Skipper found sal-
vation in the CRM's New Life
Program. He has been clean
and sober for seven and one-
half months and says he is hum-
bled by the experience. "I want
to give back what the mission
gave to me. Nobody else is
going to help," he concluded.
Navy veteran Cornelius
Jackson also found support at
the mission. He served ship-
board from 1971 to 1975 on
the WWII Class Destroyer, the
USS Stribling. He initially
completed the CRM's short-
term program in July of 2006
and moved into VA transitional
housing, but relapsed soon after.
"It doesn't matter where you are
at. If you're not ready, you're
just not ready," he observed. In
March of 2007, he returned to
the mission. He has been clean
for seven months and credits his
recovery to the dedicated staff.
Director for Development
Valerie B. Wrenn-Callahan indi-
cated the CRM staff and diners
were thrilled to have the hos-
pital volunteers serving food at
the mission. She noted, "The
staff and diners really, really
got a lot out of it. A lot of our
homeless served in the military
and they have all experienced
incredible things."
CRM Executive Director
R. Patrick Hayle personal-
ly thanked the volunteers for
taking time out of their busy
lives to feed the homeless and
to acknowledge the homeless
veterans. He indicated, "About
75 percent of all Americans are
just one paycheck away from
being homeless."
The hospital staff also col-
lected over 40 winter coats and
other items for the shelter's
clothes closet. When asked
why he wanted to volunteer
at the mission, Chief Hospital
Corpsman Roel Gerardo noted,
"I'm giving back to our pre-
decessors." Master Chief
Hospital Corpsman Claude
Coleman added, "I'm just happy
to be here and proud to serve."
Cook Heads For White House Kitchen
eted spot, especially when he
first explored entering military
service. Two days after read-
ing "Let the Journey Begin"
on the Navy's website, Lalatag
called a recruiter. He had com-
pleted three years of college in
the Republic of the Philippines
studying Computer Science, yet
he was limited in his choice of
career fields.
He entered the Navy in June
1999 as a non-designated striker
and later gravitated to the rate
of Culinary Specialist, although
it wasn't his first choice at the
time. Because he wasn't a U.S.
citizen, he couldn't get a secu-
rity clearance and without it,
he couldn't qualify for a career
path that complimented his
education. He explained, "I
couldn't get a security clearance
when I enlisted (and therefore)
I couldn't get Gunner's Mate or
Information Technology (IT)."
Fortunately, Lalatag liked cook-
ing.
While assigned on the USS
Halyburton from November
1999 to January 2003, Lalatag
worked in the Wardroom. "At
first the officers didn't take me
seriously," he said, "they treated
me like a waiter." However,
over time they came to appreci-
ate the quality of his food, the
extra servings, and his efforts to
make their meals more appeal-
ing to the eye. "I love cook-
ing because I like to see peo-
ple appreciate what I do," he
explained. It's not just about
cooking, but about making a
difference; not just at work but
also in the community."
At the urging of his leading
petty officer, Culinary Specialist
First Class Kelvin Wiggins,
Lalatag applied for the position
at the White House. He said,
"I wanted something different,
but I thought I was limited to
working on ships and galleys."
It was the encouragement from
Wiggins that led him to apply
and he was the only cook from
the hospital to pursue the oppor-
tunity.
After months of background
checks, Lalatag will be report-
ing for his new assignment in
February 2008. He will have
one more chance to shine before
reporting for White House
duty. He will be competing
in the Naval Station Mayport
Iron Chef competition with
three other cooks from Naval
Hospital Jacksonville. The only
female chef to win the title of
Iron Chef, based on the televi-
sion show of the same name, is
Cat Cora who will be judging
the contest on Nov. 13.
He will be accompanied to
Washington by his wife Estela,
also a Filipino and a Navy cook
who he met in church four years
ago. "It's an honor for me to
work for the President. Even if
I don't get sent to Iraq, it is also
part of my contribution to be
patriotic," he explained.
Shingles Vaccine Available
From TRICARE
Following a Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) recommendation on
Oct. 19, TRICARE now covers
Zostavax, the vaccine designed
to prevent shingles for benefi-
ciaries 60 and older.
Shingles is a painful viral dis-
ease that affects more than one
million Americans every year.
More than half of those cases
happen in people age 60 or
older. The CDC recommends a
single dose of shingles vaccine
for everyone age 60 and older.
In a shingles prevention
study done by the Veterans
Administration Cooperative
Trial, run by Dr. Michael
Oxman out of the University of
California, San Diego, Zostavax
was more than 50 percent effec-
tive in reducing the incidence of
shingles and more than 60 per-
cent effective in reducing some

were vaccinated experienced
less pain.
"Offering this vaccine to our

Committee on Immunization
Practices and formally endorsed
and adopted by the CDC."
Beneficiaries who receive the
shingles vaccine after October
19, 2007, must have vaccina-
tions administered in a provid-

under the TRICARE medical
benefit and is not reimbursable
under the pharmacy benefit.

Shingles is caused by the
varicella-zoster virus, the same
virus that causes chickenpox in
children. It remains in the body
for decades, sleeping in nerve
cells along the spinal column.
A shingles rash usually appears
on one side of the face or body
and lasts between two and four
weeks. It is painful and can be
accompanied by fever, head-
ache, chills and upset stomach.

Applications Available For
Commissary Scholarship
By Caroline Williams
DeCA
Applications for the Defense
Commissary Agency's 2008
Scholarships for Military
Children Program are available
now in commissaries world-
wide or online through a link at
http://www.commissaries.com
and directly at hlIp \\\ m illi-
tary scholar.org.
The program kick-off each
year in November coincides
with "National Military Family
Month," and the scholarships
are a great way for commis-
saries to get involved with the
community and demonstrate
support and respect for the con-
tributions of military families.
According to Richard Page,
DeCA's acting director and
chief executive officer, the pro-
gram has awarded more than
$5.5 million dollars in scholar-
ships to 3,532 of the best and
brightest children of military
families since it began in 2001.
"We take enormous pride in
the scholarship program," he
said, "because it's a great oppor-
tunity for commissaries to make
a difference in the communities
they serve. DeCA is commit-
ted to education and increasing
opportunities for the children of
military families."
With college costs soaring,
students and their parents appre-
ciate every available scholar-
ship to help defray the cost, and
the scholarships enable many
families to afford the tuition
and provide an incentive for
students to work hard.
The $1,500 scholarships are
available to unmarried children
under the age of 21 (or 23, if
enrolled in school) of military
active-duty, retired, and Guard
and Reserve service members.
Most of the funds are donated
by manufacturers, brokers and
suppliers that sell groceries in
commissaries, and every dol-
lar donated to the program by
industry or the general public
goes to fund the scholarships.
The program is administered by
the Fisher House Foundation.
Eligibility is determined
using the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System
database. Applicants should
ensure that they, as well as their
sponsor, are enrolled in the
DEERS database and have a
current ID card. The applicant
must be planning to attend, or
already attending, an accredited
college or university full-time in
the fall of 2008, or enrolled in a
program of studies designed to
transfer directly into a four-year
program.
Applicants must submit an
essay arguing for or against the
following statement: "Every
able-bodied citizen should be
required to serve a two-year
period of time in the military.
Why or why not?" Applications
must be turned in to a com-
missary by close of business
on Feb. 20, 2008. At least one
scholarship will be awarded at
every commissary location with
qualified applicants.
