Local Jacksonville residents
attended the Navy's public
hearing for sonar use held at
the Florida Community College
at Jacksonville South Campus,
March 18.
On Feb. 15, 2008, the
Department of the Navy filed
the Atlantic Fleet Active
Sonar Training (AFAST)
Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS)/Draft
Overseas Environmental Impact
Statement (DOEIS) with the
Environmental Protection
Agency.
Subsequently, six hearings at
various places up and down the
East Coast were held to gather
oral and written comments from
citizens concerned with the
Navy's use of sonar.
Attendees wishing to address
the issue were allotted three
minutes of speaking time dur-
ing the hearing. Those who


are interested in making lon-
ger statements can submit their
comments in writing and can do
so by March 31, 2008, when the
statement will become part of
the official record.
"Having the public involved
is part of the National
Environmental Policy Act
requirements," said Jene Nissen,
U.S. Fleet Forces Command in
Norfolk, AFAST project man-
ager. "Its important so the pub-
lic understands the analysis that
we've conducted and under-
stands the result that we came
up with and also has the ability
to have input in the final analy-
sis so that they're an integral
piece of this project."
The AFAST DEIS/DOEIS
will evaluate the possible envi-
ronmental effects of mid-range
and high-range active sonar and
proposes four different options
for the Navy's execution of
sonar training.
Alternative 1 proposes fixed
sonar training areas that would

Capt. Rodelio Laco relieved
Capt. Randall C. Snyder of com-
mand of Destroyer Squadron 40
(DESRON 40) during a change-
of-command ceremony on
Naval Station Mayport March
20.
Commander, U.S. Naval
Forces Southern Command
(NAVSO) Rear Adm. James
W. Stevenson Jr. was the guest
speaker for the ceremony, which
was held at the Ocean Breeze
Conference Center on Naval
Station Mayport.
"For the past 24 months,
(Snyder) has been the tactical
element of United States Naval
Forces Southern Command,"
said Stevenson. "His wealth of
knowledge and vast profession-


al expertise and experience has
been most valuable in shaping
and implementing our theater
engagement strategies."
Snyder will become the new
commander of Navy Reserve
Readiness Command Southeast
in Jacksonville, Fla.
Snyder thanked DESRON 40
staff members, and said "Today
marks the end of what has been
a truly incredible experience for
me. I've had the opportunity
to be part of more interesting
events ashore and afloat than
what I ever dreamed I would
have coming into the job."
Laco is coming from the
Office of the Chief of Naval
Operations (OPNAV), where
he served as the Branch Head
of the Surface Warfare Strategy
and Alignment Branch of
OPNAV's Surface Warfare


Division.
The new DESRON 40 com-
mander addressed his staff "You
really truly can be proud of your
accomplishments," said Laco
"You certainly are leading the
way in executing the Navy's
Maritime Strategy, and I look
forward to working with you."
As the operational arm
of NAVSO, DESRON 40 is
tasked with the planning and
execution of multi-national and
bilateral Naval exercises asso-
ciated with the Partnership of
the Americas (POA) exercise
series. Conducted annually,
POA emphasizes interoperabili-
ty and cooperation among South
American Partner Nations.

I had the privilege of being their

able 0-8 record.
One might say that they were
disappointed that we did not

From NEXCOM
Moving to a new location this

"Over 60 percent of all

Hoo-yah, Warriors! Spring
is certainly in the air, and with
that many of you are starting to
put away the snow shovels and
winter clothes in favor of shorts
and warm weather recreation.
On duty or off everything
we do has some degree of risk
which, if not properly managed,
could result in serious injury or
even death. Whether it's firing
up that barbecue grill for the
first time or breaking the lawn-
mower out of its winter hiber-
nation, applying simple opera-
tional risk management (ORM)
to your everyday activities will
ensure you're around to enjoy
this Spring and the next one!
Risk management is actually
more than a decision-making
process; it's a common-sense
approach to thinking about
everything we do. Learning to
manage safety over risk is as
simple as making and following
a plan.
Let's look at the ORM pro-
cedures.
When we start any kind of
activity, we all need to look at
the five ORM steps:
1.Identify hazards
2.Assess hazards
3.Make decisions
4.Implement controls
5.Supervise
We use the steps of ORM as
a basic plan for determining
the benefits of taking the risk
involved.
ORM is a tactic, not a safe-
ty program. It is a way to deal
with the threats and hazards we
face everyday. These threats are
almost always under our con-
trol, and the deadliest ones are


Fro Naval War College
The Naval War College's
College Of Distance Education
will again offer its fleet seminar
program in the Mayport area.
This academic year (September
'08 may '09), the strategy
and war, and the joint mari-
time operations courses will
be offered in Mayport and the
national security decision mak-
ing course will be offered in the
Jacksonville area.
This highly acclaimed pro-
gram parallels, to a major
degree, the course of study fol-
lowed by students in the college
of naval command and staff in
Newport, Rhode Island. Three-
hour classes are held in the eve-
ning (one night per week for
approximately 35 weeks). Atop


glance this definition seems
accurate but in actuality I have
a problem with this simplistic
perspective.
This definition assumes that
just because a group of players
are on the same side that they
are working together. They
may have the same uniform on
their backs, but if they play as
if they are individuals then they
are not a team.
Some players are selfish and
want to be stars. Others allow
personal dislikes to cloud their
judgment when it comes to their
teammates. Still others don't
get it. They would rather throw


n Stay

Navy Lodge. This will make a
military move much easier for
the entire family."
Military families need to
come to the Navy Lodge pre-
pared in order to stay with their
pet. First, keep in mind how
long you will be gone and bring
appropriate food and other sup-
plies and always travel with a
pet carrier.
Before you leave town, sched-
ule a visit with your veterinar-
ian to update all medications or
treatments required and bring a
copy of each pet's vaccination
record.

our own human errors. We real-
ly use ORM all the time, we just
don't recognize it.
One last issue I want to talk
to you about is PMV safety, and
I want to get right to the point.
So far in FY08 Safety Center
records show as of 14 March
we've had 49 PMV fatalities
in both the Navy and Marine
Corps, 18 of those fatali-
ties involved motorcycle's, 29
involved four wheel vehicles
and 2 involved pedestrian fatali-
ties. Of the 27 Sailor deaths
several personnel were not
wearing seat belts, helmets, or
required PPE and others were
either speeding or driving care-
lessly, this is NOT executing
basic ORM. There have been
10 Navy motorcycle fatalities
this fiscal year, as compared
to eighteen in the entire fiscal
year of 2007, a trend we need
to reverse now. With the gas
prices at their current state
many of our Sailors have opted
to buy and ride motorcycles as
their primary mode of transpor-
tation...have you received the
required training? Have you
looked at the Safety Center
Website for tips on safe opera-
tion? And are you using the
required PPE? The National
Highway Transportation Safety
Administration estimates that
helmets saved 1,658 motorcy-
clists' lives in 2007, and that
752 more could have been
saved if all motorcyclists had
worn helmets.
Just for the record, I support
and promote motorcycle and
all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use as
much as the next person. But I
also support wearing the proper
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) and exercising the ele-


quality adjunct faculty mem-
ber leads each seminar from the
local area. Students can earn
a NWC diploma, JPME Phase
I credit, and up to 21 gradu-
ate credit hours. All books and

up a 20-foot jump shot than
pass the ball to a teammate who
is open under the basket. While
they are obviously a set of play-
ers forming one side in a game,
they are about as far from a real
team as you can get.
The goal is to take a group
of individual players and make
them into a complete team.
What does it means to work
together as a team? I would
like to propose the following
three evidences of a good bas-
ketball team.
First, the open player gets the
ball; work the ball around to get
an open shot instead of having


one player force a shot.
Second, play tight defense;
play tight defense to make it dif-
ficult for the other team to score
instead of loafing on defense
and waiting to get a shot on
offense.
Third, never let personal feel-
ings between two players affect
team play; on the court, person-
al feelings must be forgotten.
Although, it is true that the
Panthers went 0-8 in the record
book, they represented the best
team play of all four teams in
the league. They overcame
what was a stack deck against
them.


From the very beginning their
opponents were almost always
taller and more athletic then
them. They showed demon-
strated a spirit that never says
quit, a willingness to do what-
ever the coach asked them to do
and great teamwork. Their best
performances were during the
final three games. In fact, dur-
ing our last game the score was
25 to 2 at half time.
Our team restricted their
opponents to 12 points during
the second half and scored a
team record of 31 points mak-
ing the final two minutes really
exciting!


What made the difference! It
was not one player stepping up.
It was ever player doing their
best not for individual reward
but for the good of the team.

needs some work on their team-
ness? Give us a call and we'll

Finally, when you are at the
Navy Lodge, treat the area
where you walk as if it were
your own yard and always clean
up after your pet, using the bags

While traveling keep in mind
how long you will be on the
road and make sure to bring at
least one bowl of fresh water for
your pet to drink. If traveling

period of time, add one or two
more, just in case.

ments of ORM, and I temper
that support by insisting the
requirements in OPNAVINST
5100.12G are lived up to in let-
ter and in spirit.
So let me sum it up......over
the past few months we have
lost too many members of our
Navy family to preventable
accidents. We need to take a
step back and remember all the
safety training, operational risk
management and common sense
we've been taught.
Today, the Navy has some
of the smartest and most dedi-
cated Sailors I have ever had
the privilege of knowing in my
27 years of service. We sim-
ply can't afford to lose any
more Sailors... its not about the
stats...it's about our people.
The Safety center has a great
website that you can use to fos-
ter a safe working and playing
environment, download some
great presentations or just see
what is new. I highly encourage
you to introduce this site to your
Sailors, our families and our
Navy civilians, it could make
the difference. You can link up
to the Safety Center via www.
safetycenter.navy.mil. While on
the site look at the PMV stats
and the narratives....it doesn't
paint a very good picture.
The bottom line is we've
got the most technologically
advanced Navy in the world
with some of the best equipment
that money can buy.....but with-
out our people our Navy doesn't
exist....we need every member
of the Navy team safely on the
job everyday... .be smart....and
be safe!

Kennedy Towed To Philadelphia For Storage


By Kathleen Roberts
NavalSea .. CommandPublic

The decommissioned aircraft
carrier John F. Kennedy (CV 67)
arrived March 22 at the Navy's
Inactive Ships Maintenance
Facility in Philadelphia for pres-
ervation and storage.
Due to safety and security
concerns, the ship will not be
open for tours while in storage
in Philadelphia.
A contracted tug boat began
towing the inactive carrier John
F. Kennedy from Norfolk Naval
Station on March 17. The ship
was originally scheduled to be
towed to Philadelphia in August
2007, but was instead towed to
Norfolk while the Navy dredged
in the vicinity of Pier 4 to fur-
ther increase the safety of the
ship mooring process and the
surrounding waterway.
John F Kennedy is currently
on the Navy's inactive inven-
tory, meaning the ship has been
taken out of commission and
laid up for safe storage pend-
ing a future SECNAV decision
regarding the ultimate disposi-


tion of the ship. As required by
the fiscal year 2007 National
Defense Authorization Act, the
Navy will maintain the ship
in a state of preservation that
would allow for reactivation in
the event the carrier is needed
in response to a national emer-
gency.
The ship's historical items
have been removed and trans-
ferred to the curator of the Navy
for preservation and storage.
Named in honor of the 35th
president of the United States,
John F. Kennedy's keel was
laid in 1964 at Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company in Newport News, Va.
In 1967, nine-year-old Caroline
Kennedy, daughter of the late
president, christened the ship.
"Big John", as the carrier would
become known, was commis-
sioned in September 1968.
A veteran of 18 deployments
to the Mediterranean Sea and
Middle East, John F. Kennedy
amassed more than 260,000
arrested landings on her flight
deck while operating virtual-
ly every tactical aircraft in the


Navy's arsenal. In 1989, two
of the embarked air wing's
F-14 Tomcats shot down two
Libyan MIG-23s that were
approaching the battle group
in a hostile manner. The car-
rier also participated in numer-
ous other campaigns includ-
ing Operations Desert Storm,
Enduring Freedom and Iraqi
Freedom, and was sortied fol-
lowing the 2001 terrorist attack
on the World Trade Center.
Homeported at Naval Station
Mayport since 1995, John F.
Kennedy most recently served
as a training platform for naval
aviators to obtain their car-
rier landing qualifications. Her
final port call was to Boston in
March 2007.
The ship measures more
than 1,050 feet long, displac-
es 82,000 tons and could carry
70 combat aircraft the full
complement of today's carrier
air wing. The crew consisted
of more than 4,600 personnel
when including the air wing.
John F. Kennedy was one of the
two remaining fossil-fueled air-
craft carriers in the U.S. Navy.

Philadelphia to join other decommissioned ships at the Navy Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility.
Kennedy was commissioned in May 1967 by the late President John E Kennedy's 9-year-old daugh-
ter, Caroline. The 1,050-foot-long carrier served nearly 40 years and saw combat action in the
Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm and the war on Terrorism.



MCPON Recognizes


Women's History Month


-Photos courtesy of NMCRS
NMCRS held a Professional Development Day at Ocean Breeze Conference Center recently.
PDD is a yearly event that rotates between NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport. Volunteers for
the Command, Navy Region Southeast are invited to get the latest updates, new procedures and
any other pertinent information that is deemed useful. It's also a good time to meet other volun-
teers. The annual NMCRS Mayport fund drive is currently under way. Money raised during the
drive will directly benefitMayport Sailors in need offinancial assistance.


From MCPON(SW/FMF) Joe
R. Campa Jr.
Master Chief Petty Officer of
the Navy (MCPON) (SW/FMF)
Joe R. Campa Jr., released the
following comments in recogni-
tion of Women's History Month,
March 10:
Maria Townsend is 85 years
old and a pioneer, but she
doesn't consider her contribu-
tions during World War II any-
thing greater than what the rest
of the nation was doing to sup-
port our servicemen after Pearl
Harbor.
Townsend came from a
Navy family, so joining the
service seemed natural to her
in the Spring of 1942, after the
country had been attacked and
President Roosevelt declared
war on Japan. She found a
recruiter, raised her right hand


and enlisted. Opportunities were
slim for women, but she found
a place with the Navy Band and
became the first female member
of that organization.
For the next six years,
Townsend entertained the troops
at USOs and in other venues
around Washington. A former
secretary, she had dedicated her-
self to boosting the morale of
service members through song.
She left the Navy in 1948 and
lived a life common to many of
us. She returned to her former
job, married and raised a family.
But she hasn't forgotten those
six years, or the decision she
made to wear the uniform of a
United States Sailor. She paved
a road to success for women in
all branches of the military but
denies that to this day. When
told of the roles women play in
today's Navy, she's pleased but


not surprised. She saw it com-
ing 66 years ago.
It doesn't come as a shock to
her that women are serving in
a variety of capacities: At sea
and on the ground, doing jobs
that were out of the question
when she joined. She's not sur-
prised that their contributions
have huge impact in every com-
munity in our Navy.
In 1942, joining the Navy
when her nation needed her was
natural. She'll tell you that the
women we recognize this month
joined for the same reasons, and
I fully agree.
Join me in celebrating
Women's History Month and
use it as a time to recognize
the contributions of this gen-
eration of female Sailors, and
to remember our veterans who
have sacrificed so much to make
our country what it is today.

reported to the Grand Masters
of HSL-46.
Gumbleton was transferred to
Newport, R.I. Gumbleton again
reported to HSL-46.
Gumbleton was selected as
a 2002 Defense Legislative
Fellow. He reported to
Washington, DC where he
served as a military assistant
to Senator John Warner of
Virginia. Following this one-
year fellowship, Commander
Gumbleton was assigned to the
Appropriations Matters Office
in the Office of the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy (FM&C)
representing the Navy's interests
to the Defense Subcommittee on
Appropriations to both cham-
bers of Congress. Gumbleton
became assumed command of
the Squadron on Dec. 15, 2006.
Also joining HSL-48 is
new Executive Officer, Cmdr.
Stephen Banta.
Banta was born at China Lake
Naval Station, California, and is
a 1991 graduate of the United
States Naval Academy where
he earned a bachelor's degree
in General Engineering and was
selected for aviation training.
He completed the flight train-
ing syllabus at VT-27, VT-2,
and HT-18, and was designated
a Naval Aviator on 18 March,
1994.
After working for
COMNAVBASEJAX in the
Operations/Plans & Policies
department as the Air Liaison
Officer, and also aboard
USS Clifton Sprague (FFG-
16), he reported to the Fleet
Replacement Squadron at HSL-
40 for training in the SH-60B,
and completed the syllabus in
September 1995.
Banta's first operational
squadron was HSL-44. While
assigned to HSL-44 he com-
pleted two deployment cycles
and also served as the squad-
ron's Assistant Operations
Officer. The first deployment
was a Mediterranean cruise as
the Training/Administration
Officer for Detachment One on
USS Conolly (DD-979) with
the George Washington Battle
Group. The second was a
deployment to the Arabian Gulf
as the Maintenance Officer for
Detachment Four on USS San
Jacinto (CG-56) with the John C
Stennis Battle Group. HSL-44
Det Four has the distinction as
being the first U.S. Navy helo
fleet unit to deploy with Armed
Helo and fire the Hellfire mis-
sile.
Banta was next assigned
as a flight instructor at HSL-
40, where he served as the
Tactics Phase Officer, Assistant
Operations Officer, and
Deck Landing Qualification
Officer. He left HSL-40 in
September 2000 and reported
to Commander, Carrier Group
Three for duty as the Assistant
Air Operations Officer. His
primary job involved coordi-
nating all aspects of the Carl
Vinson Battle Group's helicop-
ter assets. While on deploy-
ment with CCG3 on September,
11, 2001, he was assigned as the
Helicopter Element Coordinator
for CTF-50. He detached in
May 2002 after serving his last
five months as the CCG3 Flag
Lieutenant.
His next assignment was
a return to HSL-40, and fol-
low-on orders to HSL-46 for
his Department Head/OIC
tour. He served as the OIC of
Detachment FIVE embarked


USS O'Bannon (DD-987) on
a UNITAS/CDOPS deploy-
ment, and later as the squad-
ron Maintenance Officer. He
detached from HSL-46 in
October 2004 and was assigned
to the Pentagon where he served
on the OPNAV staff in the N81
Department conducting analysis
for the Navy's role in the Global
War on Terrorism. During this
tour he screened for operational
aviation command, and will be
assigned to HSL-48.

Auburn Midshipmen Taste Shipboard Life On USS Vicksburg


By Lt.j.g. Matthew Dryden
USS Vicksburg Fire Control Officer
USS Vicksburg (CG 69) host-
ed midshipmen from Auburn
University NROTC Unit March
14, as part of a continued out-
reach focused on increas-
ing knowledge of the Surface
Warfare Community.
Commanding Officer, Capt.
Chuck Nygaard, welcomed his
fellow Tigers during a multi-
media presentation and gift
exchange. Captain Nygaard
graduated from Auburn
University in 1984, receiv-
ing his commission via the
NROTC program. Guides from
Vicksburg's wardroom and crew
led the midshipmen throughout
the ship and introduced them to
the multiple warfare capabilities
of an Aegis Cruiser.
The students from Auburn
not only enjoyed a detailed


virtual environment that greeted
the midshipmen and allowed
them to learn about the com-
plex nature of modern surface
warfare.
"It was great to experience
the things you only read about
in books or see on the news,"
stated Midshipman Santiago
Herrera. "The tour guides did
a great job of explaining recent
headlines... and the real work-


ings of the Navy."
Auburn's NROTC Unit was
sponsored by HSL-46, which
allowed a fantastic opportunity
to expound on the necessity of
cooperation required for suc-
cessful surface ship/helicop-
ter detachment integration.
Vicksburg recently returned
from a six-month Arabian Gulf
Deployment, during which time
HSL-42 Detachment 6 was


embarked. A detachment from
HSL-46 is currently scheduled
to embark during the upcoming
workup cycle and deployment.
Exposure to different communi-
ties and their warfare capabili-
ties reinforces the Composite
Warfare Concept that all mid-
shipmen learn about in their
college studies, and becomes
part of daily life once they are
commissioned.

lized crew served mount.


tour, but they were also able to
experience the concept of mod-
ern naval warfare in action.
Using state-of-the-art simula-
tion technology, Vicksburg's
comprehensive combat systems
suite can be used to simulate
the environment of any place


in the world and any number
of friendly, neutral or hostile
contacts. This is a great benefit
to the ship and crew, which can
train for multiple missions in
disparate theaters of operation,
while never leaving the conve-
nience of homeport. It was this


rim,

USS Vicksburg Completes


Weapons
From USS Vicksburg Public. ;,
USS Vicksburg (CG 69)
returned home last week after
a one-week stop at the Naval
Weapons Station in Yorktown,
Virginia, where the crew con-
ducted a post-deployment
offload of more than 113,000
pounds of ordnance.
Despite facing freezing tem-
peratures and pouring rain, the
crew completed the offload
safely, efficiently, and two days
ahead of schedule.
"The offload was pretty
demanding," said Vicksburg's
Gunnery Officer, Ensign
Antwan Jefferson. "Our guys
worked really hard, and we
were able to stay ahead of the
schedule. Any time you can
safely move that much ord-
nance, and help out the entire
crew by getting home early, it's
a good thing."


Offload In Yorktown


The success of the offload
was a collaborative effort
between the Sailors of
Vicksburg and the dedicated
professionals of the Yorktown
Naval Weapons Station. A thor-
ough plan to identify obstacles
early was essential to prevent
potential delays and setbacks.
The teamwork between the ship
and the Weapons Station is what
ultimately allowed Vicksburg to
return home early to family and
friends.
The week-long visit was not
all work, however. An excellent
ship's MWR program ensured
Vicksburg Sailors were able to
visit local restaurants, malls, his-
toric Williamsburg, and week-
end day trips to Washington,
DC. Seaman Recruit Clifford
Reinhardt from Euclid, Ohio
enjoyed the Saturday trip to the
nation's capitol.


"It was my first trip to DC
and I was amazed at the sheer
amount of history located in
one place," stated Reinhardt.
"To be able to visit the Lincoln
Memorial, the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum,
and the Smithsonian Air and
Space Museum was an unfor-
gettable experience."
"It was very rewarding to
see our Sailors working so hard
during the day and then have
the opportunity to enjoy the
local area during the evening,"
commented Ensign Nathan
Mitich, Vicksburg's Force
Protection Officer and Offload
Coordinator. "The ammo han-
dlers worked late into the night
several times and it is a real tes-
tament to their work ethic that
they we able to get the job done
safely and quickly."

recently rode one of the NS
Mayport tractor tugs, as
Klakring returned to port after
completing a Deck Landing
Qualification exercise with
HELANTISUBRON 11.
As part of the Surface
Warfare Officer qualification
process, junior officers (JO)
spend a considerable amount
of time on the bridge as they
mature from young Conning
Officers to experienced Officer
of the Decks. During their time
on the bridge, they generally
work closely with Naval Station
Mayport's pilots, who provide a
wealth of expertise and advice
to the basin's newest ship driv-
ers.
On March 14, Klakring's
Ensigns disembarked into
C-Tractor 13 to continue
their surface warfare offi-


Chief Boastwain's Mate Jim
Rigg, Engineer Peter Dulack,
and Deck Hand, retired Chief
Boatswain's Mate Ricardo
Rosario. The Ensigns were
treated to an exhaustive and
hands-on overview of the tug's
capabilities as the tug followed
Klakring into the basin.
True to form, the Ensigns
began pelting the tug's crew
with questions about tug opera-
tions, remarking on the many
differences in handling charac-
teristics between the C-Tractor
and the ship they were accus-
tomed to.
"It was an impressive, state-
of-the-art platform; it's remark-
able that so much control lies
at the tug captain's fingertips,"
commented Klakring's Anti-
Submarine Warfare Officer,
Ensign Graham Tompson.


contains two coupled Ulstein
Z-drive azimuth thruster units,
which act as propellers and give
the tug the capability of maneu-
vering in virtually any direc-
tion by simply manipulating
two joysticks. In addition to
its maneuverability, other func-
tions of tug operations such as
winching, are controlled entirely
from the Captain's chair; a stark
contrast to the complexity and
labor-intensive nature of many
of Klakring's control systems.
The Ensigns watched curi-
ously from their new perspec-


have a new-found respect for
the way the tug supports both
the safety and efficiency of
bridge operations."
Klakring's cadre of JOs
gained an invaluable insight
into one of Mayport's most
important support activities,
and walked away with a great-
er appreciation and respect for
the vital interrelationship that
tug captains, pilots, and bridge
watch officers must have to
complete their work safely and
efficiently.

By Cherie Huntington
DeCA
When a product recall is
announced, store personnel
normally pull the items from
the sales area to ensure that
they are not sold. The Defense
Commissary Agency has now
gone beyond the norm of food
safety by implementing a "fail-
safe" response system that pre-
vents recalled products from
scanning at the checkout stand.
Through a procedure called
Universal Product Code "lock-
out," DeCA can ensure that
recalled products are not inad-
vertently sold to customers.
It's one more check in a food
defense network designed to
safeguard the health of com-
missary customers, said DeCA
Acting Director Rick Page.
"We made use of existing
commissary front-end technol-
ogy to start a Universal Product
Code 'lockout' on recalled
items," Page said. "We're
always researching, testing and
fine-tuning ways to ensure food
safety for our customers."
Springing from a suggestion
made to all retailers by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
and U.S. Department of
Agriculture, the UPC lockout

Children who witness fam-
ily violence are often forgot-
ten as the unintended victims.
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.
