Phil Sea Spans


Language Gap


By MCSN Ryan Steinhour
Nassau Expeditionary Strike Group
Public.;-
Guided-missile cruiser USS
Philippine Sea's (CG 58) visit,
board, search and seizure
(VBSS) team is armed with
more than weapons in achieving
their mission.
Overcoming an armed adver-
sary is just one obstacle this
team is trained to overcome.
Another, and at times more
difficult challenge, is for the
members of the boarding team
to be understood by members
of the boarded vessel. VBSS
teams frequently encounter
Sailors whose native language
is not English, and overcoming
the language barrier is often a
deciding factor in the success of
their operations.
Philippine Sea's VBSS team
has undergone extensive train-
ing in Arabic, a language spo-
ken by over 200 million people
in 28 countries. The team will-
ingly sacrificed part of their pre-
deployment leave period so that
they could properly hone their
language skills for two-weeks
in Mayport, Fla., Philippine
Sea's homeport. The language
training was also supplement-
ed by instruction in Middle
Eastern culture and lifestyles.
Additionally, an instructor from
the Defense Language Institute
was embarked on Philippine
Sea to conduct classes during


their trans-Atlantic crossing.
"Basic Arabic expands our
ability to assess danger with less
confusion," said Ensign Gavin
Whittle, Philippine Sea's force
protection officer. "Sometimes
crew members might not
respond to direction solely
because they don't understand
English. We are trying to pre-
vent that from happening."
Having the ability to give
orders and be understood is one
hurdle that the language training
is helping this team overcome.
"Our boarding members will
be able to direct personnel and
inspect a vessel using, for the
most part, simple, short phrases
and questions," said Whittle.
"It's good to know so that we
can have some basic commu-
nications with the crew," said
Damage Controlman 3rd Class
Kiel Durrant.
While operating in the Navy's
5th and 6th Fleet areas of
responsibility there may come
a time that boarding a craft is
necessary.
"A lot of the time we're sent
there to check their crew, and
make sure everyone on their
ship's manifest is accounted
for," said Durrant. "That they
don't have any stowaways, and
the cargo they say they have is
legitimate."

a craft they are not only look-

SERMC PAO
Southeast Regional Maintenance
Center held a ribbon cutting ceremony
on March 6 for the official dedication
of the 14,000-square-foot addition to
Building 1488.
The new addition increases the total
building size to 191,000 square feet of
office and production space. Joining
SERMC's Commanding Officer,
Capt. James G. Green, for the ribbon
cutting was Commander, Regional
Maintenance Centers, Rear Adm. John
C. Orzalli, NS Mayport Commanding
Officer, Capt. Aaron Bowman and NS
Mayport Executive Officer, Cmdr.
Mike Watson.
The addition will be the new home
to SERMC's Waterfront Operations
Department which is made up of the
10 Maintenance teams. Together in
one central location, communi-
cation among all the teams will be
enhanced and the location will offer


prime viewing and accessibility to
the basin. Maintenance teams consist
of Port Engineers, Project Managers,
Ship Repair Officers, Shipbuilding
Specialists and Logistic Support per-
sonnel. CG and DDG Maintenance
Teams will be located on the first floor
while the FFG Maintenance Teams
will occupy the second floor.
The $3.9 million addition was
built by QC Management under the
guidance of NAVFAC Southeast and
the under leadership of Government
Oversight Representative, Steve Hinds.
Mike Agnor and Joey Cartwright, of
SERMC's Business Office, provided
day to day customer representation
during each phase of the project.
The new building also provides
amenities such as a training audito-
rium with a seating capacity for 90
people and state of the art video tele-
conferencing equipment. Maintenance
Teams will begin moving to their new
office spaces next week.

I just returned from a trip to
Puerto Rico. It wasn't a plea-
sure trip, but I did enjoy seeing
parts of the Island I had never
seen before. Everything went
without a hitch until I arrived
at the gate and found my return
flight delayed. I wasn't wor-
ried at first because I had an
one-and-a-half hour layover in
Miami. But when the delay was
extended to more than two-and-

going to miss my connecting

I know most of you know
the Navy's policy on alcohol.
Therefore, I am not going to
write about policies and instruc-
tions. If you don't know, you
can go look it up or you can
learn more about it during a
GMT topic. What I am going
to write about is our personal
responsibility to our selves, to
our families, to our Shipmates
and to our Navy. Shipmates
don't let Shipmates abuse alco-
hol!
This is a very touchy sub-
ject because sometimes when
we are friends with people
we work with, we may be in
the best position in the world
to give them advice. Often we
don't advise them because we
don't want them to think we are
getting in their business.


By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Support Contributor
Several years ago I read an
article by financial counselor
who asked a class to estimate
how much each individual spent
on three categories; coffee/soda,
eating out and savings. They
were then asked to keep a log of
expenditures on these areas for
30 days. Students were shocked
to see how much they spent and
how inaccurate their estimates
were. On average students
underestimated their spending
by 32 percent. Similarly, less
than 50 percent of the class con-
tributed to a savings plan during
the same period.
Knowing where your money
goes is the first step to gain-
ing control of your finances and
making it truly work for you.
If you are not sure where your
money goes, log every penny
you spend for the next 30 days.
You may be surprised at what
you find.
Last week we discussed your
financial picture; income, bills
and expenses. Let's focus on
a spending plan this week. I
love the term 'spending plan'
because it puts me in control
of what I spend and insures

further when I arrived in Miami.
I stood I line with a couple of
hundred others at a service desk
as we waited for hotel and meal
vouchers. Then, after I received
the vouchers, I waited another
hour for transportation to the
hotel. It was 1 a.m. before I got
to the hotel's front desk.
Despite the inconvenience the
airline noted that the crowd was
not overly upset. I noticed too.
Most folks realized that all this
was out of their hands. They
were calm and took it all in
stride. People made light of the
situation and told stories about
their experience and where they
were headed.


Being a good Shipmate
means sometimes we have to
make some hard decisions and
say some hard things that our
Shipmates might dislike. For
example, if you have a buddy
who is showing up five days
a week to quarters smelling
like alcohol, there could be
no telling what he is doing on
the weekends such as drinking
and driving. A good Shipmate,
when he sees the signs such as
the smell, blood-shot eyes, and
fatigue, would corral his buddy
and tell the Sailor he may have
a problem and he needs to talk
somebody to get help. That's
what a true shipmate does:
makes hard decisions and says
hard things that often don't
want to be heard but they do
it anyway.
In our Navy, alcohol abuse
not only affects the abuser, it
affects their Shipmates, their

How do we taking life easier

that future.
We could learn something

the apostle Paul who once said
in the Christian scriptures, "I

and I know what it is to have
plenty. I have learned the secret

a tough thing to do to one of my

But he had a chink in his armor
and he needed someone to tell
him about it.
One of my failure stories took

alcohol on him. We acted on
it and got him help. However,
he would eventually fall on his
own sword.
We were so busy operational-
ly that we forgot about him and
during that time he relapsed.
Instead of treating him as an
alcohol treatment failure and
getting him out of the Navy
along with additional help, we
let him slip through the cracks,
and as a result, he had two
DUIs within six months of one
another.
We lost a good Sailor, a fam-
ily was destroyed and he no
longer has a retirement. That
is why it is so important that
we don't let our Shipmates slip
through the cracks -- it is a sin!
I certainly take some personal
responsibility for that failure
and we all should take personal
responsibility and not let our
Shipmates abuse alcohol.

USS Vicksburg Visits Historic Charleston


From USS Vicksburg Public. ;
The Aegis guided-missile
cruiser USS Vicksburg (CG 69)
recently visited the historic city
of Charleston, South Carolina.
The visit was a routine
Atlantic Fleet assignment to
support The Citadel as a train-
ing ship for the Corps of Cadets
NROTC Unit. Vicksburg
entered Charleston on Feb. 29
and stayed through the week-
end. Despite being a weekend,
the crew of Vicksburg was very
busy conducting tactical train-
ing scenarios with midshipmen
from The Citadel and hosting
tours for students from Naval
Nuclear Power Training Center
(NNPTC).
In addition to supporting
training events and familiariza-
tion tours, Vicksburg also con-
ducted some civic engagements
during the port visit, playing
an important role in raising
the local awareness of critical
defense issues and the Navy's
mission.
As part of this commu-
nity outreach, Vicksburg host-
ed the NJROTC Class from
Summerville High School. The
motivated high school students
asked numerous questions and
were very interested in the com-
plicated combat systems suite of
a modem front-line warship.
Lt.j.g. Robbie Phaneuf, one
of Vicksburg's junior officers
noted, "The exposure that these
students get here today can later
help them to make the connec-
tion between the United States
Navy and its role in American
foreign policy."
On March 1, Vicksburg


hosted a Captain's Luncheon
and invited several of the
areas distinguished visi-
tors. Representatives from the
Mayor's office, the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce, and
Senator Lindsay Graham's
office joined senior military
officers (both active duty and
retired) and members of the
Navy League for the auspi-
cious occasion. Vicksburg's
Commanding Officer, Capt.
John "Chuck" Nygaard, wel-
comed the visitors onboard for
lunch and followed the meal
with a brief of Vicksburg's
highly successful Arabian Gulf
Deployment and a ship's tour.
Ensign Dan Rader,
Vicksburg's Combat Information
Center Officer commented,
"These visits are the way that
the Navy can show its equip-
ment and professional person-
nel to the taxpaying American
who takes pride in his country's
arsenal."
While visiting Charleston,
the crew also enjoyed liberty
in the historic southern city.
Vicksburg Sailors strolled along
the beautiful tree lined streets
of antebellum neighborhoods
and explored the rich past of
this South Carolina low coun-
try jewel. Charleston has a
colorful maritime history as
well. The forts Sumter and
Moultrie figure prominently in
American History, and it was
in Charleston that the first suc-
cessful submarine attack was
executed. Vicksburg Sailors
thoroughly enjoyed their time
ashore.

The Citadel visits USS Vicksburg


USS Vicksburg Public. ;-
Recently home from a
successful Arabian Gulf
Deployment, the crew of USS
Vicksburg was on a different
sort of mission during a high
profile and very important visit
to Charleston, South Carolina.
Vicksburg was selected to par-
ticipate in a training event as
a School Ship for The Citadel,
the military college of South
Carolina.
The role of a School Ship is
to provide a training platform in
which midshipmen and officer
candidates can become famil-
iar with the role of the surface
combatant in the Navy's new
Strategy for the 21st Century.
The students from The Citadel's
NROTC Unit not only learned
the theory and tactics of modem
surface warfare but were able
to see the concept of modern
naval warfare in action aboard
Vicksburg. Using state-of-
the-art simulation technology,
Vicksburg's potent combat sys-
tems suite can be used to sim-
ulate the environment of any


place in the world. This is a
great benefit to the ship and
crew, which can train for mis-
sions throughout the world,
while never leaving the safety
of homeport. It was this vir-
tual environment that greeted
the students from The Citadel
and allowed them to learn about
the complex nature of modern
surface warfare.
The ship ran two combat sys-
tem scenarios for the seniors,
who will soon be leaving the
halls of academia and pick-
ing up their country's ban-
ner to carry across the seas to
where ever it is needed. The
seniors gained valuable training
experience in important mod-
em warfare keystones such as
the Warfare Commander roles,
rules of engagement, weapons
systems capabilities and enemy
courses of action.
The day's training began with
a thorough Threat Briefing held
onboard. The Threat Briefing
gets students in the mindset for
the scenario and gets their focus
on the dangerous world of mod-


ern weaponry. Following the
briefing, the seniors were led to
the Combat Information Center
(CIC) to put their training to
the test.
The Combat Information
Center is the element of the
ship where information is gath-
ered and evaluated, then used to
make the tactical decisions nec-
essary to fight and win battles
at sea. This information comes
from the numerous sensors
onboard and from 21st century
inter-ship networks. Perhaps
most importantly, it is from the
Combat Information Center that
the sensors and weapons are
controlled.
Vicksburg is primarily an air
defense ship and as such she
is heavily armed with the SM2
Standard Missile. The seniors
were able to employ Vicksburg
and her vast array of military
hardware tactically in the fast
paced milieu of modem surface
warfare. Though it might seem
like a video game for some, the
value-added training is indis-
pensable in today's Navy.


After lunch, the seniors
returned for another scenario in
the CIC. This time they were
able to build on what they had
learned under the watchful and
mature guidance of Vicksburg
watchstanders, the majority of
whom have been tested in the
crucible of the Arabian Gulf.
While the seniors were busy
combating opposing forces in
Vicksburg's CIC, the freshmen
were getting a tour of the 567-
foot, 10,000-ton cruiser. For
some of the midshipmen, it was
their first time aboard a naval
warship. A tour of the ship
allowed the new students to get
a glimpse of shipboard life and
the various jobs available to
them upon graduation.
The students were able to see
firsthand how there is an entire
culture that is unique to the sur-
face Navy. The pride and tal-
ent displayed by the Vicksburg
crew was palpable, allowing the
freshmen to come away with
an accurate depiction of what it
means to serve one's country in
the Navy.

A View Of The Past And A Focus On The Future


By Ensign Jamie Sims
USS Vicksburg Anti-Submarine Warfare
Officer
It was a clash in time as the
modem day U.S. AEGIS guided
missile cruiser USS Vicksburg
(CG 69) glided past the histori-
cal Ft. Sumter in Charleston,
S.C., which is famous for
being the location of the first
shots of the Civil War. On
the chilly morning of Feb. 29,
some Charlestonians had the
rare sighting of a modem naval
warship as Vicksburg made its


way to the old Naval Weapons
Station.
Recently home from deploy-
ment, the crew of Vicksburg
was on a new kind of mission
- to teach the midshipmen
of the Citadel's NROTC unit
the world of Surface Warfare.
Once a year, the Citadel's
NROTC Unit hosts a Navy
ship and gives the students a
hands-on tour of shipboard life.
The school invited Vicksburg's
Commanding Officer, Capt.
Chuck Nygaard and wardroom


to the campus for the weekly
ceremonial parade and a tour of
the campus.
"The Citadel is a venerable
institution with a rich history of
developing leaders," stated Lt.
Cmdr. Chad Bryant, Vicksburg
executive officer. "We thor-
oughly enjoyed the campus tour
and parade, but the highlight
was meeting the young men and
women that will be carrying
our country's mantle in the near
future."
The next morning, the


Vicksburg conducted tours
and combat scenario training
for the aspiring naval officers.
The students experienced many
different aspects of the Naval
Surface Warfare community
including Damage Control and
fire fighting, a static display of
the ship's Vessel Board Search
and Seizure team, and a simu-
lated combat operational mis-
sion. Along with the students,
the Vicksburg received many
notable guests, including the
Citadel's own Commandant of


Cadets, Colonel Stone.
While working hard main-
taining the ship and show-
ing the distinguished guests
a good time, the crew also
enjoyed some liberty ashore.
Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class
(SW) Freeman and two of his
fellow shipmates used the time
ashore to visit the Patriots Point
Maritime Museum.
"It was a glimpse into our
Navy's past," says Freeman,
who toured the many vessels
on display. "Walking the same


spaces of the USS Yorktown
(CV 10) as the Sailors 60 years
ago was amazing; I truly felt a
connection with them."
For others, exploring the his-
toric market and picturesque
Battery of downtown Charleston
proved equally enjoyable and
relaxing.
USS Vicksburg is homeport-
ed in Mayport, Florida and is
assigned to Carrier Strike Group
12.

Coast Guard Crew Offloads


$53 Mil In
From U.S. Coast Guard PADET Jack-
sonville
The crew of the Coast Guard
Cutter Forward offloaded
approximately 1,600 pounds of
cocaine and transferred custody
of seven suspected smugglers to
federal agents at Naval Station
Mayport, Fla., Friday morning.
The crew of the Cutter
Forward located the illegal
narcotics in a hidden compart-
ment aboard the Honduran fish-
ing vessel Miss Alyssa Feb.
25 in the western Caribbean
Sea. Forward's crew handed
over the drugs to agents from
Panama Express today, a joint
Department of Homeland
Security and Department of
Justice investigative task force.
"This case was an outstand-
ing example of multiple unit
coordination ashore and at
sea," said Cmdr. Matthew
Sibley, the commanding offi-
cer of the Coast Guard Cutter
Forward. "Detailed search
efforts and a thorough relief by
Cutter Dauntless coupled with
expert coordination by Joint


Drugs At
Interagency Task Force South
and Coast Guard District Seven
helped our boarding team zero
in on the hidden compart-
ments."
Miss Alyssa was originally
boarded by a Dauntless board-
ing team Feb. 24. The team
found evidence of illegal nar-
cotics with the use of an ion
scan machine, similar to the
machines used in airports, but
they were unable to find the
hidden compartment containing
the illegal narcotics.
The Dauntless boarding team
searching the Miss Alyssa was
relieved by a Forward boarding
team after the Cutter Dauntless
had to continue on with another
mission. Forward's boarding
team later found the secret com-
partment after an all night sys-
tematic search.
The Coast Guard is the lead
U.S. federal agency for all mar-
itime drug interdiction opera-
tions and seized $4.7 billion
worth cocaine in 2007. This
continued success can attributed
to the Coast Guard's ongoing


Mayport
drug interdiction strategy known
as "Campaign Steel Web." This
drug campaign has been suc-
cessful due to three primary fac-
tors better intelligence, more
capable assets and bi-lateral
international agreements with
partner nations.
Panama Express includes
agents from the Coast Guard
Investigative Service, Drug
Enforcement Agency, Federal
Bureau of Investigation,
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement and the U.S.
Attorney's Office.
Joint Interagency Task Force
South in Key West, Fla., coor-
dinates country team and part-
ner nation initiatives in order
to defeat the flow of illicit
traffic. JIATF South includes
the Coast Guard, Department
of Defense, ICE, DEA, the
Defense Intelligence Agency,
FBI, National Security Agency
and the National Geospatial
Intelligence Agency.

Loss Of Life


Currents Can


By Mike Christnacht
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary 14-04
As spring approaches and
temperatures start to rise the
U.S. Coast Guard auxiliary
reminds beach goers that such
currents can be extremely dan-
gerous, dragging swimmers
away from the beach and lead-
ing to death by drowning when
they attempt to fight the current
and become exhausted.
According to the United
States Lifesaving Association
(USLA) rip currents cause
approximately 100 deaths annu-
ally in the United States, more
than all other natural hazard
except heat and floods. More
than 80 percent of rescues by
surf beach lifeguards are due to
rip currents totaling 18,000 life-
guard rescues a year.

Children who witness fam-

A wide range of child adjust-
ment problems has been found
to be associated with exposure
to domestic violence. Parent's
need to see and understand the
effects of domestic violence
on children as encompassing
behavior, emotion, development
and socialization. Parents need
to understand that there is an
intergenerational cycle of vio-
lence and they may be creat-
ing a legacy for their child of
learned violent behavior. The
purpose of this program is not
to shame parents for events
that have already happen, but
to instill hope that things can
change. The knowledge that the
violence, which many parents
incorrectly believe is unseen
by their children, is negative-
ly impacting their children's
growth and development and
may provide an additional moti-
vator for ending the violence
and seeking intervention.

Underwood Gets Big 'E'


By Ensign Kristofer Tester
USS Underwood PAO
USS Underwood (FFG 36),
one of 14 guided missile frig-
ates in Mayport, was named one
of the Surface Forces' Battle
Effectiveness Award winning
ships for 2007.
The Battle 'E' is awarded to
the ships in the fleet that con-
sistently perform in a highly
effective manner for the given
calendar year. The ship was also
awarded Command Excellence
Awards in the categories of
Maritime Warfare, Engineering
Excellence, Command,
Control, Communications.


and Information Warfare,
and Logistics Management
Excellence. This marks the
fourth time Underwood has
been awarded the Battle 'E'.
The Fighting Devils have
recently completed their Unit
Level Training, which began
with highly successful perfor-
mances in Aviation Certification
and the Light Off Assessment.
Underwood continued the
streak in the following week at
ULTRA C, where the ship was
able to obtain blue or green sta-
tus in all but four warfare areas.
During ULTRA E, Underwood
again performed well, locking


themselves into the fast track
to Engineering Certification,
which was achieved at sea on
Feb. 29.
After a short weekend break,
Underwood's Sailors were
back at it again the first week
of March to finish the Final
Evaluation Period, which they
accomplished after two days of
ITT week preparations.
The ship is in the first week
of a Continuous Maintenance
Availability Period and mak-
ing final preparations for the
upcoming Board of Inspection
and Survey Visit.

S.B.


'Fathei
By Ensign Molly Harris
USS Samuel B. RobertsR PA
Chief Gas Turbine System
Technician Electrical (SW)
Jamie Johnson is an outstanding
technician, manager and leader.
These traits make him an excel-
lent chief petty officer but more
importantly, a superb father
and USS Samuel B. Roberts'
nominee for the NFI-Lockheed
Martin Military Fatherhood
Award.
Johnson has served in SBR
for three years and has earned
the reputation as a strong, yet
compassionate leader and a
uniquely knowledgeable tech-
nician. He has served as the
Division Leading Chief Petty
Officer for both the Auxiliary
and Electrical divisions, in addi-
tion to serving as the Command
Fitness Coordinator. When you
see Johnson outside of work,
it is clear that he has used his
experience in the Navy to make
himself a well-rounded and sup-
portive father.
Johnson's technical exper-
tise is a product of his thirst for
knowledge. He has used this
thirst to instill academic excel-
lence and even inspired creativ-
ity in his son. Both Drew, 9,


Roberts Selects


r Of The Year'


and Shiori, 6, are doing excep-
tionally well in school.
This is due to Johnson and his
wife Toshie's interest in their
education and the inspiration
they get from both parents. He
is always willing to help them
academically and keeps their
academic interests at heart.
His enthusiasm to learn makes
school work an adventure for
his children. Johnson's technical
knowledge has also inspired his
son to get involved with radio
controlled boat and car building.
Drew is now building complex
boats and cars. Johnson has also
taught his children a great deal
about computers. This knowl-
edge will serve them well in
their future academic and pro-
fessional lives.
Johnson's devotion to health
and fitness has also been
extremely beneficial to his
children and he has turned his
love of cycling into a family
event. The Johnson family can
often be seen riding around
their neighborhood on week-
ends. He has also developed
his children's love for swim-
ming. He got them involved
with swimming at a young age
and has continued to support


their swimming with his time
and enthusiasm. By living a
life of fitness, Johnson has been
able to show his children how to
live healthy and create valuable
family bonding opportunities.
The most important thing
about being a father is to be
there for your children in every
way possible. Even though
Johnson spends much of his
time at sea, his children never
want for their father's attention.
His children are very impor-
tant to him and he goes to great
efforts to make sure he is always
there for them, including, most
recently, coming in during the
dark hours of the morning to
finish work and ensure that he
would not miss his daughter's
first theatrical production.
Johnson has created a balance
in his life that has given him
the opportunity to excel at work
and be an outstanding caregiver
for his children. He is an out-
standing role model for Sailors
and fathers of all ages to emu-
late in their own family lives,
and for this reason was SBR
Fatherhood Award nominee and
one of the final 300 service-
wide considered.

USS Samuel B. Roberts to represent the ship as a nominee for the
NFK-Lockheed Martin Military Fatherhood Award because of his
work at home and on the ship.

FRCSE Merges


Production Sites


ByAT2 (AW)
Krystal Smith
Public. LPO
Fleet Readiness Center
Southeast (FRCSE) recently
established the first Satellite
Production Control (SPC), a
component of the Customer
Service Division at the FRCSE
Industrial Site. SPC was
designed to monitor and manage
the influx of avionics, hydraulic,
and structural components from
the FRCSE Intermediate Sites.
With the merging of the
former Naval Air Depot
and Aviation Intermediate
Maintenance Detachments,
a new system of avion-
ics equipment exchange was
formed. The new system,
Beyond Capable Maintenance
Interdiction (BCMI), allows for
the intermediate sites to send
avionics, hydraulic, and struc-
tural components to the depot
artisans at the industrial site
without incurring the net price
of a beyond capable mainte-
nance (BCM) action.
The BCMI is used as a work
request from the intermediate
site to the industrial site, saving
from hundreds to thousands of
dollars in repair costs.
Aviation Structural Mechanic
1st Class Trenson Weissgerber,
who helped establish the SPC,
said, "Since the new SPC began,
just a mere two months ago, the
new system has saved FRCSE
over $300,000."
Chief Aviation Structural
Mechanic Christopher Leech
and Weissgerber, who lead the
SPC, explained that SPC uses
the Naval Aviation Logistics
Command Management


Information System
(NALCOMIS) to track com-
ponents through the Industrial
Site's system and are responsi-
ble for ordering parts and main-
taining the Maintenance Action
Forms (MAFS).
According to Leech, there is
an average of 40 items moni-
tored daily. Currently FRCSE
Industrial Site receives BCMIs
from the Jacksonville and
Mayport Intermediate Sites,
and is in the process of updating
capability for the Key West Site
as well.
So, how does all this work?
Weissgerber describes the situ-
ation. A maintainer at FRCSE
Site Jacksonville is working on
a piece of equipment, and then,
due to capability restrictions,
the repair cannot be accom-
plished at the intermediate level
site. This equipment would
have been sent to the depot via
the supply system under a BCM
and would cost the site $2000.
Now, with the BCMI, the
maintainer can send the piece of
equipment directly to the indus-
trial site for the depot artisans
to finish the repairs and the cost
would be only $600. Also, the
equipment does not have to be
returned to the supply system
to be delivered to the industrial
site. The intermediate main-
tainer will insure delivery. This
is cutting days, and sometimes
weeks, off of the repair time.
The BCMI system is also
allowing for the depot artisans
to branch away from doing a
complete overhaul on a piece
of equipment. Instead, they are
fixing the problems only. This
saves time and money.

CNRSE Military Hous


By Richard Wolff,
Robert Shepko
Richard Wolff is the Navy
Region Southeast Housing
Program Director
Robert Ni1,..,1. is Senior
Vice President of Project
Management for GMH Military
Housing.
The transfer of military hous-
ing at 11 Southeast Naval bases
from the Navy to the private
sector needed strong leader-
ship and the support of mul-
tiple stakeholders. Through
diligence and collaboration,
the Navy Region Southeast
Housing Team, NAVFAC SVA,
and GMH Military Housing
have smoothly implemented the
Navy's largest single PPV (pub-
lic/private venture) agreement
to date.
When the Navy awarded
GMH Military Housing the
Navy Region Southeast Project,
which consists of 11 installa-
tions in five states, it was to be
the benchmark for the transfer
of military property from the
public to the private sector.
The project's six-year ini-
tial development period, which
includes design, renovation, and
construction, has been valued
at approximately $700 million.
GMH will be responsible for
the management and mainte-
nance of the project for the next
50 years.
"Many factors, including a
shrinking housing budget, aging
units, and maintenance backlogs
have made it difficult for the
Navy to provide quality hous-
ing of service members," said
Richard Wolff, Navy Region
Southeast Housing Director.
"This partnership makes it pos-
sible for the Navy to renovate
and construct family housing
quickly and affordably."
The scale of this PPV proj-
ect made the stakes high. The
transition needed to be seam-
less, and all operations had to
run smoothly before, during,
and after the hand-off. For
the Navy Region Southeast
Housing Team, comprised of
region headquarters staff, instal-


lation program managers, and
NAVFAC SVA, this required
the successful balance of the
privatization partnership with
GMH and the daily manage-
ment of approximately 11,000
family housing units and 32,000
bachelor housing spaces within
the region.
PUTTING THE PIECES IN
PLACE
On Oct. 1, 2007, GMH
assumed the management and
maintenance of 6,968 military
units at installations in South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Mississippi, and Texas. The
ramp-up took six months from
the minute GMH Military
Housing was awarded the Navy
Region Southeast Project in
February 2007, with all opera-
tions starting from scratch.
Initially, GMH hired four
senior management members to
build the teams on the ground.
Community managers and facil-
ity managers were hired and in
place by July 1, 2007. The new
managers were provided train-
ing at other successful GMH
locations, where they were each
assigned a mentor to guide them
through the steps of standing up
a new family housing location.
An additional 144 on-
site staff members were then
recruited, hired, and trained to
provide customer service and
facility services for more than
4,000 families at Navy Region
Southeast installations.
To ensure a smooth transi-
tion and partnership, GMH staff
shared office space with Navy
housing personnel. This allowed
immediate referrals, better cus-
tomer service, one-stop shop-
ping, easier accessibility, and
guaranteed prompt service.
The next step was to contract
essential services, such as gar-
bage collection, cleaning, facil-
ity maintenance, landscaping,
and pest control.
Dozens of management docu-
ments were drafted, reviewed,
and approved. These included
operations and management,
environmental, and disaster
plans, as well as leases, adden-


dums, and resident guides.
Budgets for 2007 and 2008
were developed and approved.
Lease education and signing
were among the final prepara-
tory steps. Housing is a military
benefit, so most residents had
never signed leases. To mini-
mize stress during the transi-
tion, GMH held town hall meet-
ings to answer questions and
conducted two to three lease
signing sessions for each instal-
lation.
GMH personnel handled
up to 150 residents at a time
at these events, and explained
who GMH is, addressed the
residents' rights, services, and
terms of the agreement of the
lease, and
welcomed them into the GMH
family. During these events,
GMH hosted barbecues with all
the fixings, family games, and
giveaways to make the entire
family feel welcome.
When takeover day arrived,
100 percent of leases were
already signed. Overall, 4,126
homes were occupied, and resi-
dents were well aware of who
to contact for all their needs.
Thanks to advance preparation
by GMH, NAVFAC SVA, and
the Navy housing staff, the tran-
sition went smoothly, and was
lauded as a success for residents
and managers alike.
"This dramatic improvement
in housing conditions for ser-
vice members and their families
is already increasing their qual-
ity of life, readiness, morale,
and retention," Wolff added.
CREATING THE ULTIMATE
GAME PLAN
Every mission has challenges,
and the Navy Region Southeast
Project was no exception. For
the Navy Region Southeast
Housing Team, these challenges
included the incorporation of
landlord/tenant laws for five
different states and the require-
ment to include housing for
civilians working onboard NAS
Key West, which is self-sustain-
ing and kept separate from the
military housing in the PPV
agreement. GMH faced three


By Tom Wallace
Deputy Director, Legal Assistance, Region Legal Service Of-
ficee Southeast
I have been providing legal assistance services
for 15 years. In that time, I have learned many
life lessons through providing legal assistance
services. Lately, another one of these life lessons
has come to my attention and I feel that it is nec-
essary to address the issue.
If you have a written contract, you cannot just
walk away from the deal when you feel like it.
This is closely related to the thought that if you
feel you should be able to walk away from a con-
tract, consult with a lawyer first. My fellow legal
assistance attorneys and I see many clients who
have not consulted a lawyer before taking some
sort of action that results in a breach of a contract.
The consequences of breaching a contract can
include money damages, paying the other party's
costs and attorneys' fees. In some situations, fail-
ing to properly terminate a contract can result in
the active duty service member losing valuable
rights in the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act
(SCRA) or other similar statutes.
Both the SCRA and the Florida Statutes con-
tain provisions that allow service members to
cancel a residential lease in a variety of circum-
stances. The circumstances justifying terminating
a lease under these statutes can include perma-
nent change of station (PCS) orders requiring the
member to move a certain distance, temporary
orders, deployment from home station for a peri-
od of time, receiving orders to take up residence
in government housing and voluntary or involun-
tary discharge from active duty.
The SCRA also has a provision that allows
a service member to terminate an auto lease if
the service member is relocating on PCS orders
from a state to outside the continental United
States, from a state outside the continental United
States to any location outside that state and when
deploying in support of a military operation for
not less than 180 days. The Florida statues also
contain a provision that allows service members
to cancel telecommunication contracts in certain
circumstances.
Though there are differences between the
state's statutory provisions and the SCRA, there is
one thing that all these statutes have in common.
All these statutes have very specific provisions on
how the contract is to be properly canceled. None
of these statutes provide an automatic cancella-
tion right that allows the service member to just
walk away from the contract without some sort of
action required by the service member. None of
these statutes allow cancellation by simply telling
the other party that you have military orders. All
of these statutes require that a written notice of
the termination, including the legal basis for end-
ing the contract, be submitted to the other party.
Additionally, all of these statues require that this


separate written notice of termination also have
the relevant military orders providing the basis
for the termination. Just handing over the mili-
tary orders to the landlord without anything else
does not properly terminate the lease. Using the
landlord's pre-printed termination notice alone
without attaching the military orders is also not
sufficient to terminate the lease.
Why am I so concerned about service members
strictly following the relevant statute to the let-
ter for terminating a lease? Because if a service
member does not follow the statutes exactly, the
court will find that the service member did not
properly terminate the lease. The result will be
that the service member is liable for breaching
the lease which could subject them to owing
damages, costs and attorney's fees to the landlord
or property owner. The courts in these cases are
often bound by a concept of "strict statutory con-
struction," which simply means that if a statute
explicitly lays out a method of asserting a right or
cause of action and that method is not followed,
the court has to follow the statute and deny the
right or cause of action. Additionally, the debt
resulting from the breached contract will likely
become a negative entry on the individual's credit
report.
I have also seen service members walking away
from contracts without consulting counsel. I have
seen many clients who have returned purchased
cars and had voluntary repossessions because
they either could not afford the car or the car
had some sort of defect. I would certainly advise
that anyone considering a voluntary repossession
should first consult a lawyer before just returning
the car. Why? Because there may be a proper
way to terminate the contract, but it may involve
drafting the proper notice. I should also note that
voluntary repossession could have a negative
impact on a credit report, which can lead to pos-
sible issues with a security clearance.
So, my point here is simple, if you have a situ-
ation where you believe that you should be able
to terminate a lease or some other contract, please
consult one of our legal assistance attorneys first.
These attorneys are here to help you analyze your
case and help you draft the proper legal notices to
legally terminate a contract properly. Laying the
proper groundwork for terminating the contract
can also be essential in defending any subsequent
collection efforts or negative credit report entries
from landlords or creditors who may try to dis-
pute a service member's proper termination of
a contract. Of course, in some cases, the advice
may be that you cannot terminate the contract.
But, it helps to know that before your actions
cause you to breach a contract and lead you to
being responsible for damages.

challenges in particular: coor-
dinating stakeholders, manag-
ing expectations, and opening
lines of communication. The
company drew on its experience
of operating 26 other military
housing privatization locations
to address them.
Coordinating stakeholders.
With 11 bases in five states to
oversee, GMH had to juggle a
wide berth of stakeholder inter-
ests and inputs. Partners includ-
ed the U.S. Navy, lending insti-
tutions, architects Niles Bolton
Associates, engineers Woolpert,
Inc., and contractor Balfour
Beatty Construction.
GMH and the Navy orga-
nized the stakeholders into six
core teams, and assigned a lead
to each. Roles included docu-
mentation, transition planning,
design review, site planning,
and environmental oversight.
When possible, GMH com-
municated with team members
face to face. Otherwise, they
met via conference calls or
Web conferencing. In all cases,
GMH, NAVFAC SVA, and
Navy Housing staffs reviewed
the teams' plans and progress,
most often through formal
design and site reviews.
These regular updates kept
the project moving forward,
flagged problems, and kept
everyone accountable for their
actions and responsibilities.
Managing expectations. In a
PPV (public/private venture) of
this magnitude, expectations ran
high. The GMH/Navy leaders
had to set realistic goals, and
consistently communicate these
goals to partners, staff, and resi-


isfer


Co


dents. It was crucial that objec-
tives remained aligned.
The partnership set schedules
with timelines for completion of
documents, lease signing, and
move-in dates. GMH conducted
calls and progress reviews with
Navy headquarters and region
staff, commanding officers,
housing officers, and support
staff at each location.
The bases' commanding and
housing officers then helped
GMH relay program details to
service members and their fami-
lies. GMH, in cooperation with
the Navy, held at least two town
hall meetings at each base to
update residents on the site's
progress, and field questions.
Opening lines of commu-
nication. Maintaining commu-
nication among team leaders
and stakeholders was essential
to the project's success. Each
team had to remain aware of
timelines and understand how
delays would slow the transition
process.
All participants had to agree
on how to align processes
within the financial constraints,
and balance the needs of all 11
installations. Here, the core
team conducted discussions
and obtained approvals, which
were then carried out by their
employees.
Flyers, newsletters, base-spe-
cific Web sites, and town hall
meetings facilitated fast and
efficient communications with
all on-site stakeholders and resi-
dents. The result was a unified
approach to the project, with all
management levels seamlessly
working together.

LESSONS LEARNED
In the end, several strategies
resulted in success for the Navy
Region Southeast Project:
*Collaboration is the key to
success.
*Build consensus to address
challenges.
*Maintain a focus on the big
picture.
GMH Military Housing and
the Navy earned each others'
trust and commitment by mak-
ing
teamwork and communica-
tion a top priority. It also laid
the groundwork for the overall
project,
and kept everyone focused on
upcoming objectives. For their
distinguished commitment to
the PPV agreement and their
professionalism in all aspects
of military housing and lodg-
ing management, the Navy
Region Southeast Housing
program was recently award-
ed the Professional Housing
Management Association
(PHMA) 2008 Group Award.
By staying focused on the
ultimate goal-to provide the best
housing possible for our Navy
families and deliver programs
such as LifeWoiks aGM IH to
our residents-GMH Military
Housing, NAVFAC SVA, and
the Navy Region Southeast
Housing Team accomplished
the mission, and proved that
careful planning and thoughtful
management can make even the
most daunting projects doable
and makes for smooth sailing
for years to come!
