Where has

that Doggone

Dog Gone?
If you haven't noticed while
driving around base, there
are a lot of changes going
on lately, and Mayport's
Veterinary Treatment Facility
(VTF) seems to be follow-
ing the crowd as it has moved
from its old location.
The VTF has swapped
shops from its old location,
across from Surfside fitness,
to its new location located in
base housing.
"I found out about the
move when I went to make an
appointment last week," said
Kay Watson, who was sitting
with her very happy looking
dog, Rocky, at her feet.
There are signs posted
around base alerting patrons
to the VTF's new location,
but in case you have missed
them, the clinics new location
is 708 B Everglades Court.
"I really like the new build-
ing; it's very nice and easy to
get to," said Watson.
The VTF still offers all
the same services such as
microchipping and vaccina-
tions. All pets must first be
registered with the clinic,
and most appointments are
usually made two weeks in
advance.
For more information you

butions to the advancement of
African Americans and other
minorities through their efforts
of promoting equal opportunity


in the federal work place and

General Newton. "The award
represents a long lasting rela-
tionship between the NAACP

HSL-44 Commanding Officer, Cmdr. M.D. Patterson presents a flag to Hospital Corpsman
2nd Class Augusto Paguagavaldez at the squadron's quarters during an announcement of
Paguagavaldez new U.S. citizenship status at Quarters. The flag was flown above the squad-
ronon June 17, the day he received citizenship. Augusto has been in the Navy for nearly six years,
making two deployments, one in Al Taqaddam, Iraq doing CASEVAC with HMM-268 where
he earned his set of Combat Aircrew Wings. His second was with the 24th Marine Expeditionary
Unit. Deploying in the Mediterranean, he visited countries such as Jordan, Kuwait, and Pakistan.
Augusto is a native of La Ceiba, located on the northern coast of Honduras. With a population
of 170,000, it is the third largest city in a country known for eco-tourism. Paguagavaldez said he
joined the U.S. Navy for a better life in America, the chance to receive a first class education, and
the opportunity to see the world. Thus far, he said he is more than pleased withi his decision to
become a Sailor and is very proud of his new citizenship.


HSL-46
From HSL-46
The Grandmasters of HSL-46
celebrate the homecoming of
their long awaited native sons,
the Hitmen of Detachment 8.
The Hitmen have been deployed
on the Norfolk-based ship USS
Bulkeley (DDG 84) since mid
February. The Hitmen were
deployed in support of the
Global War on Terror in the
Sixth and Fifth Fleet's areas
of responsibility as part of the
Nassau Expeditionary Strike
Group,
For the majority of the
deployment, the Hitmen spent
their time in direct support of
Commander Joint Task Force-
Horn of Africa operations. Det
8 flew more than 300 hours
in the Horn of Africa alone,
combating the growing piracy
and terrorist threats. During
this time the Hitmen had the
opportunity to operate jointly
with the French and Dutch


'Hitmen'
navies, as well as U.S. Special
Operations Forces. Most
recently Detachment 8 partici-
pated in Eastern Mediterranean
Presence Operations, helping to
bring stability and democracy to
a troubled region of the world.
Over and over again, the
Hitmen embodied the true
meaning of the "fighting spirit"
and "can do" attitude. They
were able to conduct numerous
operations including vertical
replenishment (VERTREP) of
more than 15 tons of goods, 20
passenger transfers, three medi-
cal evacuations (MEDEVACs)
and more than 600 hundred
flight hours in direct support of
the Global War on Terror. More
impressive were the 35,000 man
hours spent keeping the detach-
ment's two SH-60B helicopters,
Cutlass 473 and 475, full mis-
sion capable in order to take the
fight to the enemy.
During the cruise, the 28


Return
members of the det achieved
many professional milestones
as well. The Hitmen had four
re-enlistments, eight advance-
ments, and four Enlisted Air
Warfare Specialist (EAWS) pin-
nings. Each marks an important
highlight in a Petty Officer's
career.
Although liberty ports were
few and far between, the
detachment had the opportunity
to visit Naples, Italy; Victoria,
Seychelles; Souda Bay, Crete;
and Lisbon, Portugal. The
Hitmen logged more than 120
total days at sea, with an 84
percent underway percentage.
The longest continuous stretch
of underway time was 59 days
- just under two months.
Two of the detachment mem-
bers, Petty Officers Tim Weldon
and Chance Massey, will be
welcomed into fatherhood,
meeting their children for the
first time at homecoming.


From Commander, U.S. Naval Forces
Southern Command
Commander, U.S. Naval
Forces Southern Command
(COMUSNAVSO) will hold its
change of command in a cere-
mony at Naval Station Mayport
on July 12, where Rear Adm.
Joseph D. Kernan, the former
Commander of Naval Special
Warfare Command, will relieve
Rear Adm. James W. Stevenson
Jr.
As part of the ceremony,
Chief of Naval Operations
Adm. Gary Roughead will offi-
cially reestablished U.S. 4th
Fleet, assigning Kernan as its
first commander.
The ceremony will conclude
with Stevenson's retirement
after 32 years of naval service.


The reestablishment of U.S.
Fourth Fleet recognizes the
immense importance of mar-
itime security in the southern
part of the Western Hemisphere.
U.S. 4th Fleet will be dual-
hatted with the existing
COMUSNAVSO, the Navy
Component Commander for
U.S. Southern Command. U.S.
4th Fleet will have responsibil-
ity for U.S. Naval ships, air-
craft, and submarines assigned
from east and west coast fleets
to operate in the Caribbean, and
Central and South America.
As a result, U.S. 4th Fleet
reestablishment will not involve
an increase in forces assigned
in Mayport. U.S. 4th Fleet
will not have any permanently
assigned ships or aircraft.

By Ensign Lauren McCabe
USS Taylor RPA
Cmdr. Kurush Morris
was relieved by Cmdr. Keith
Knutsen as commanding officer
of USS Taylor on June 27.
Knutsen joins the Taylor fam-
ily as it enters its final prep-
arations for a standing Naval
Mediterranean Group deploy-
ment. A graduate of the United
States Naval Academy and
the United States Naval War
College, Knutsen held previ-
ous command on USS Pelican
(MHC 53). His at sea tours
included serving aboard USS
Fletcher (DD 992), USS Kinkaid
(DD 965), USS Port Royal
(CG 73), USS Cardinal (MHC
60), USS Osprey (MHC 51),
and USS Robin (MHC 54). He
served on the staff of Chief of
Naval Operations as Executive
Assistant to the Deputy Director
for Surface Combat Systems,
N86F. Commander Knutsen
recently served as Liaison
Officer for CTF 158 and as
Senior Military Advisor for the
U.S. State Department Regional
Embassy Office in Basrah, Iraq.
Morris departs Taylor after a
very successful tour. He guid-
ed Taylor through a Fifth Fleet
Surge Deployment in support of
Maritime Security Operations,
Operations in Iraqi Freedom,
Enduring Freedom, and the
bilateral Theater Security


Skipper
Cooperation Exercise Eagle
Salute. While on deployment to
Fifth Fleet, he was the driving
force behind Taylor's success-
ful execution of AOR Maritime
Security Operations while sta-
tioned off the Horn of Africa.
Morris' leadership was direct-
ly responsible for a seamlessly
planned and executed Basic
Training Phase. With meticu-
lous training requirements,
oversight and material repairs,
his guidance and direction
directly resulted in Taylor com-
pleting Light-Off Assessment
to Engineering Certification
in a mere seven weeks, earn-
ing exemption from follow-on
EOC and FEP requirements
while reaching all certification
benchmarks, displaying signifi-
cant improvement from pervi-
ous certifications. During his
watch, Taylor was the recipient
of the prestigious 2007 Captain
Edward F. Ney Memorial
Award, and numerous acco-
lades including Bravo Zulus
from CTF150, COMFIFTHFLT,
COMSIXTHFLT,
COMUSNAVO, CSFTL
and COMTRSTRKGRU for
Taylor's superb performance.
Morris will serve on the staff
of Commander, Naval Surface
Force as the Assistant Chief
of Staff for Combat Systems
and C4I (N6) in San Diego,
California.


HSL-44 Sailor Becomes Citizen

CREDO Corner


IL


By Lt. Rickey Bennett,
USN, CHC
Spiritual Fitness Division SE
A few months ago a movie
called "The Bucket List"
came out. It will not win any
Academy Awards, but the con-
cept was very interesting. It
pictured two men who were
believed to be terminally ill
making a list of all the things
they wanted to do before they
"kicked the bucket."
There was sky diving and
auto racing you name it. One
of the men did die. The other
didn't, but both fulfilled their


dreams.
In the words of former
Surgeon General Joycelyn
Elders, "We all will prob-
ably die of something sooner
or later." But what should we
make of our time before we
start pushing proverbial daisies?
This question lies at the heart of
The Bucket List.
Do you have a bucket list?
There are some things I would
like to do, but none are real-
ly crucial. I would like to live
closer to my kid's grandparents
in Colorado. And someday, I
would like to go to run in an


ultra 100-miler- silly huh?
Well, another one of the
Barna surveys has emerged.
And this time, it deals with what
Americans dream of as their
ideal life things like good
health, integrity, one marriage
partner, a purposeful life and a
close friend the usual.
The Bucket List has a nomi-
nally uplifting message: Family,
friends and even faith are, at
the literal end, more worthwhile
than all the money in the world.
If you knew you were in
your last days, what would you
want to do and with whom?


Whatever you decide has a cost.
Before you choose it think
about what you will not only
gain but loose.
When the pencil of life has
been sharpened to the nub, how
are you going to use it? For
yourself or for others?
"Two wrongs don't make
a right"? A right and a wrong
don't make a right, either.
Make no mistake, there's noth-
ing wrong about enjoying life.
It is right to fully live.
We are to relish the gifts that
surround us and the opportu-
nities we're given, and we


shouldn't condemn ourselves
or others for having fun. But
we can and should knock our-
selves and others around a bit
for abandoning close relation-
ships-even temporarily-to do
so.
An Egyptian myth echoes
throughout the movie: When
the ancient Egyptians died the
gods would be waiting at the
gates of heaven to ask them
two questions before allow-
ing them to enter. 1) Have you
found joy in your life? 2) Has
your life brought joy to others?
Eventually, even Edward sees


that family, friends and bringing
joy to other people is the real
spice of life even when that
life is just about kaput.
Jesus tells us, "Whoever finds
his life will lose it, and whoever
loses his life for my sake will
find it."
Or, by taking that old
Egyptian proverb and tweaking
it a bit, we can think of it this
way: God is far more concerned
about whether we've brought
joy to Him (and others) than
gathered it in for ourselves.


Do Your Research Before


By Thomas E. Wallace,
Esq.,
Deputy Director ofLegal Assistance for
Region Legal Service Office Southeast
Many servicemembers and
their families will take advan-
tage of the nice weather in the
spring and summer to shop for
a car. Whether you are buying
a new or used car, it is impor-
tant to do your research before
you even head for the car lot.
Many car buying mistakes can
be avoided by researching,
planning and creating a strategy
ahead of time. Our offices see
many people who bought their
car on a whim or impulse and
who never adequately assessed
the purchase. Without advance
planning and comparison shop-
ping, you are an easy target at
your local car dealership.
First, you need to figure out


how much money you can
spend on your automobile pur-
chase. This sounds obvious,
but I can tell from our clients
that very few people do this
step and end up paying more
for a car than what they should.
This step includes choosing the
options you want on the vehicle
and estimating the fair price of
each option, before car shop-
ping.
Second, once you have an
idea of what you can afford, you
can then start determining what
types of cars fit your budget
and that you would be happy to
drive. Buyer's remorse, in my
experience, happens more often
when the consumer does not do
research in advance and pays
more than what the car is worth,
or more than the consumer can
afford. If you have not done


your own independent research
through edmunds.com, Kelley
Blue Book online, or some
other independent resource to
determine the true value of a
car, you should not be car shop-
ping. Additionally, if you are
going to finance the purchase
of your car instead of paying
cash, you will almost always do
better arranging for your own
financing before going to the
car lot and not relying on the
dealership for financing. Also,
research the dealer through the
Better Business Bureau online
or some other source to deter-
mine if its history of customer
service is a good one.
A common arrangement used
when the dealership is financ-
ing your car purchase is the
"spot delivery." In this trans-
action, you sign various docu-


ments leading you
that a firm contract

Fourth of July, Independence
Day, our nation's birthday. This
holiday means picnics, fire-
works and a shortened work
week. In our house we also cel-

I returned to my history books

It also caused me to take
a fresh look at Iraq and
Afghanistan. It took our nation
from 1774 (meeting of the first
continental congress) to 1789
for our first president to be
elected and 1790 for the last

We value our independence
and freedom and we should.
We enjoy a rich heritage passed
down from those who were
willing to sacrifice their person-
al pursuit of "life, liberty and


happiness" so that those who
follow were free for that very
pursuit. As military families, of
an all volunteer force, we share
in that heritage.
Have a great holiday week-

works... and thank you for your
service to preserve our heritage
of freedom and independence.

HSL-40 has been busi-
ness partners with San Pablo
Elementary School for over 15
years. During that time, they
have helped the school with so
many different projects.
When Master Chief Gary
Loy took over last year, one of
his priorities was to make the
partnership better than ever. He
sure wasn't kidding. A meet-
ing during the summer to plan
for the upcoming school year
was just the beginning. Master
Chief Loy came to the meeting
with plenty of ideas of his own,
including an incentive program
for high achievers as well as
students working to improve.
A year long plan was mapped
out and in each instance, Master
Chief Loy made sure the par-
ticipation was better than ever.
San Pablo has the advantage
of being within walking dis-
tance to Fletcher High School

classes for swimming instruc-
tion. HSL-40 was able to pro-
vide rescue swimmers to help
students overcome their fear of
the water and to allow smaller
group instruction. This year
we had more Navy participants
than ever before, both in the fall
and spring swimming sessions.
In November, the school
always has a huge Veteran's
Day program, honoring all the
friends and families who have
served our country. We were
very pleased to have HSL-40
representatives join us in the
celebration. Students and visi-
tors alike were introduced to
them as our special representa-
tives of the Naval Station.
San Pablo has had an after
school Chess Club for quite a
few years. HSL-40 sent two
representatives this year to help
us out with chess instruction.

certificate and poster in a spe-
cial ceremony Master Chief Loy
had prepared for them. It was a
day that will never be forgotten.
Even the chaperones remarked
what a great trip it was.
Each year San Pablo partici-
pates in the district Invention
Convention. HSL-40 sent three
volunteers to help judge inven-
tions. Even Master Chief Loy
came to help choose the best
inventions to send to the district
competition. The students were
so proud that the Navy volun-
teers were judging their inven-
tions.
Perhaps the most involved
project of the year was San
Pablo's first annual 5K race,


held May 24 at 7:30 a.m. on
Jacksonville Beach. HSL-40
were among the very first vol-
unteers, arriving before 6:00
a.m. to help coordinate the
planned activities for this race.
It was a huge undertaking and
would not have been nearly
as successful if not for their
20 volunteers. The clean up
duties were especially helpful,
as our school received a refund
because of it.
You'd think they would be
done with their commitment
because of summer vacation.
But in addition to all they've
accomplished during the school
year, they have also agreed to
send five volunteers to help


unload, sort, bar code, and stack
books for next year's new read-
ing series. This will save the
teachers' hours of work before
school begins. Anything we
have asked of them, they were
more than happy to help out.
We would like to extend our
sincere appreciation to all HSL-
40 volunteers but we would
especially like to commend
Master Chief Loy for his out-
standing effort to make this the
very best year of our partner-
ship. We credit so much of this
year's success to him and his
Airwolves and look forward to
our continued joint projects.

ATG Mayport Advances


Nine to
By Lt. Cynthia Wood
A TG Mayport PAO
The recent advancement cycle
resulted in nine new senior chief
petty officers at Afloat Training
Group (ATG) Mayport, which
exceeds last year's advancement
rates.
This year's senior chiefs are:
Senior Chief Boatswain's Mate
Reginald Bowens, Senior Chief
Operations Specialist Joseph
Shute, Senior Chief Damage
Controlman Robert Ratliff,
Senior Chief Engineman Clifton

NAACP
The theme for this year's
dinner was the "Double V for
Victory The fight continues:
A tribute to our Armed Forces."
The Double V was a campaign
which debuted in the Pittsburg
Courier on February 7, 1942,
shortly after America's entrance
into World War II. The double
V represented two Victories,
victory on the battle field, and
victory at home, in the fight
for civil rights. Many African
Americans were crucial to
America's success in World
War II; the Tuskegee Airmen,
the Buffalo Soldiers and Doris
Miller were among a few. Miller
was the first African American
to receive the Navy Cross for
his heroism while on board USS
West Virginia during the attack
on Pearl Harbor.
All the Sailors who won the
award have dedicated them-
selves to their military career
as well as promote diversity in
the workplace and in the com-
munity.

other duties on board the

Superior performance, lead-
ership, and a strong mentor-
ship program at ATG attributed
to the high advancement rate.
Additionally, shore duty at ATG
is unique from other shore com-

Vicksburg including Command
Equal Opportunity Officer, pro-
viding EO training to more than
300 Sailors. Pinson coordinated
celebrations for Martin Luther
King Day, African American

and American Indian Heritage
months. He also spoke at area
high schools where he talked
to students about the military
and informed then about all the
military has to offer.
"It is an honor to be recog-
nized for educating the youth,
supporting diversity and the
fair treatment of all which has a
positive impact," said Pinson.
Gordon, the Commanding
Officer of HSL-42 has used his
leadership role as an opportu-
nity to better the 340 Sailors
he leads. He is involved in the
Jacksonville community and
in numerous other parts of the
country, speaking at local mid-
dle schools, high schools and
colleges promoting diversity
and the Navy. Gordon is also
spearheading efforts through the
leadership within his command,


mands in that it allows indi-
viduals to use their leadership
skills at sea by training Sailors
in all warfare mission areas.
The result is a group of highly
competitive chief petty officers
ready for advancement.
ATG is extremely proud of
its newest senior chiefs. The
skills and talent in the Chief's
Mess continues to grow as ATG
strives to provide the best sup-
port to the fleet.

"It can be difficult to focus on
the mission and on the commu-
nity, but ultimately promoting
diversity will always benefit the
mission," said Gordon.

CDS-40. USS Farraaut Join UNITAS 49-08 In Peru


-Photo by MCSN Omar A. Dominquez
Capt. Rogelio Laco, commodore Destroyer Squadron 40 listens in to a question as representatives of
all the nations participating in UNITAS 49-08 sit in during an opening ceremony at the Callao Naval
Base Auditorium. UNITAS 49-08, an annual exercise designed to increase cooperation and interop-
erability between the U.S. and South American navies.


By MCSN
Omar A. Dominquez
Fleet Public. Center, Pacific
UNITAS 49-08, an annual
multinational exercise conduct-
ed to enhance interoperability
and mutual cooperation between
Navies, began off the coast of
Callao, Peru on June 21.
UNITAS 49-08, hosted by
Peru, brings together nations
with common interests in
the Americas, and includes
Argentina, Chile, Colombia,
Ecuador, and the United States.
Mexico is also participating in
this year's Atlantic phase of
UNITAS as an observer.
UNITAS, now in its 49th
consecutive year, strengthens
relationships between partner
nations through at-sea opera-
tions under numerous maritime
scenarios.
Capt. Rodelio Laco, Destroyer
Squadron 40 Commodore,
said that that this type of exer-
cise increases proficiency and
interoperability, but also builds
trust between partner nations.
"The at sea portion of this
exercise will be one of the most
challenging to date," said Laco.
"There is just no substitute for
the training we get by working
together at sea with our allied
and partner nations' Navies. We
get better at this every year, and


every year the governments,
militaries, and citizens of each
of these countries comes to
count on one another more and
more. The direct result of all of
this work and training is a more
trusting international environ-
ment, and the ability to accom-
plish together our common
goals," he said.
Participating in this year's
UNITAS Pacific Phase from
the United States are staff
elements from U.S. Naval
Forces Southern Command,
Destroyer Squadron 40, USS
Forrest Sherman (DDG 98),
USS Farragut (DDG 99), USS
Kauffman (FFG 59), United
States Coast Guard International
Training Division and personnel
from the U.S. Marine Corps.
UNITAS provides unique
training opportunities at sea,
a challenging and uncertain
environment, which incorpo-
rates event driven scenarios to
provide the maximum oppor-
tunity to improve a better work-
ing environment between the
Navies.
According to Rear Adm. Raul
Vasquez, Commander Surface
Force of the Peruvian Navy,
in the last six years UNITAS
has changed and incorporated
new ways of training, in order
to best challenge 21st century


threats that have come upon the
Nations.
While there is not a spe-
cific threat that the exercise is
designed to counter, the goal
is to train forces from par-
ticipating nations in maritime
operations such as Electronic
Warfare, Anti-Air Warfare and
Air Defense, Anti-Submarine
Warfare, Anti-Surface Warfare,
and Maritime Interdiction
Operations.
"One of the most important
objectives during UNITAS is
regional cooperation," said
Vasquez. "This exercise allows
interoperability of our units. In
the event of an actual mission,
we can be ready to succeed
in any challenge that we may
encounter."
UNITAS 49-08 is part of
Partnership of Americas (POA),
an ongoing engagement opera-
tion sponsored by U.S. Southern
Command (SOUTHCOM). It
is carried out under the opera-
tional control of the Mayport,
Fla.-based U.S. Naval Forces
Southern Command (NAVSO).
The commander of Destroyer
Squadron 40, Capt. Rodelio
Laco, leads the deployment as
Commander, Task Group 40.0.

UNITAS
By Lt. j. g.
Thomas Berenato
Destroyer Squadron 40 Public. ;'-
Sailors from the guided-mis-
sile destroyers USS Forrest
Sherman (DDG-98), USS
Farragut (DDG 99) and the
guided-missile frigate USS
Kauffman (FFG 59) joined
members of the Chilean,
Colombian, Ecuadorian and
Peruvian navies to refurbish a
public school in the countryside
of Peru June 22.
This multinational force,
including three United States
ships assigned to Destroyer
Squadron (DESRON) 40, col-
laborated on the project before
getting underway for the Pacific
phase of UNITAS.
UNITAS is an annual series
of exercises hosted this year
by Peru in the port city of
Callao that involves war-
ships and military observers
from North, Central and South
American nations.
The Jose Andres R-zuri
Estevez School's 50 faculty
and staff serve 1,500 students
of all ages from the surround-
ing neighborhood in Callao's
mountainous northern district
of Ventanilla. The Sailors spent
six hours repainting the exterior
walls of three classroom build-
ings and replacing several fluo-
rescent light bulbs.
Forrest Sherman, Farragut and
Kauffman crew members 24
in all unloaded three pallets,
weighing approximately 1,500
pounds, of toys, sporting goods,
and first aid items, all donated
through Project Handclasp.
"We have always relied on
the aid of non-governmental
organizations, but this year for
the first time we host the mili-
tary as well," said Percy Arcaya,
school director.
"This school was agreed on
as a suitable site by representa-
tives from all of the UNITAS
navies in our discussions at the
initial planning conference last
November," said Peruvian Navy
commander JorgE Alfaro, who
oversaw the project's execution.

HSL-42 Detachment Sails For POA


By Lt. Sam Roth
HSL-42 Detachment Seven PAO
"The Almighty" of HSL-
42 Detachment Seven, led by
Officer in Charge, Lt. Cmdr.
Brian Reardon, has settled into
its role aboard USS Kauffman
for a South American deploy-
ment that started in April.
Kauffman's Commanding
Officer, Cmdr. Robert "Bob"
Cepek, made The Almighty's
stay on board official with
a capping ceremony on the
flight deck. He welcomed the
entire detachment as part of
Kauffman's crew by present-
ing all members of the detach-
ment with command ball
caps. During the presentation,
Detachment Seven listened to
the meaning of the ship's crest
and the importance it holds
for the crew. The members of
the detachment were not only
pleased to be welcomed on
board, but excited to be getting
underway for their six month
deployment.
Reardon remarked, "We are
delighted to be here and look
forward to the opportunity to

integrate with the men and
women of Kauffman and con-
tinue our training as a cohesive
LAMPS fighting force."
The Kauffman /Almighty
team departed Naval Station
Norfolk in April and headed
south as part of the USS George


Washington Carrier Strike
Group. They are currently
participating in Partnership of
the Americas 2008 (POA 08),
which contributes to a more
stable, secure and prosperous
hemisphere through improved
global maritime partnerships.


During the remaining three
months of their deployment,
both surface and air elements
will train in a series of multi-
national exercises involving
many Latin American Navies
including Brazil, Argentina,
Chile and Peru.
Kauffman has numerous
South American port visits
scheduled on both the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards, which
will give the officers and crew
an opportunity to experience a
variety of cultures. While in
port, the Sailors will serve as
good will ambassadors by inter-
acting with the people of the
host country, building bonds
between nations, and ultimately
leading to a more stable, secure
and prosperous world for us all.
"This is a wonderful oppor-
tunity for everyone onboard the
ship as the crew will be tested
frequently, but we look forward
to some good times in port and
returning home safely in the fall
with plenty of new sea stories,"
said Cepek.

USS Simpson Prepares For 'The Real Thing'


By MCC Suzanne Speight
USS Simpson
It's just another day under-
way, on deployment. You've
been sitting in unfriendly waters
for nearly a month. And then,
it happens. The ship is attacked.
Casualties, fire, flooding, con-
fusion. You're afraid, but
you know what to do. Why?
Because you've lived this sce-
nario before. You've been there,
done that.
The crew of USS Simpson
recently conducted a Total Ship
Survivability Exercise (TSSE),
simulating numerous missile
attacks, complete with eight
small boat attacks and a torpedo
assault.
The training was held dur-
ing an underway transit to St.
Lucia, where the Simpson crew
will help refurbish a school, par-
ticipate in Subject Matter Expert
Exchanges (SMEEs) with the
local Maritime police, present
donations to the Salvation Army
and Red Cross, and more. USS
Simpson Commanding Officer
Cmdr. Edwin Kaiser said the
underway period provided a great
opportunity to conduct TSSE
Training. "This is a perfect time
to conduct essential training,"
said Kaiser. "Not only do we
have the opportunity to support
Theater Security Cooperation
(TSC) in St. Lucia, but it pro-
vides a perfect time to practice
survivability training."
"In an actual situation, training
is the only thing you have to fall
back on," said Storekeeper 1Pt
Class Alonzo Key, of Eatonton,
Ga. "You can read all you want
in a book, but only by doing
hands on training will you really
learn what to do."
From Combat Systems and
Operations to Engineering and
Supply, everyone plays a signif-
icant role in this "orchestrated
ballet." The simulated injuries
provide realistic combat medi-
cal experience to Sailors who
may have little medical train-
ing. Seaman Brad Adams of
Hillsboro, Mo., was assigned
as a stretcher bearer. Adams
worked alongside Chief Hospital
Corpsman Brian Butorac, learn-
ing to spot signs of shock and
starting an intravenous blood
flow for a midshipman who
lost his left hand in an "explo-
sion." "If I can keep someone
from dying, that's really what
it's about," said Adams. To add
a heightened sense of realism,
Butorac covered various person-
nel with a red blood-like mixture.
"It looked real," said Adams.
Midshipman 1st Class Sarah
Gregory listened and learned

as the scenario played out
in Combat Systems. As she
begins the last year of her Naval
Academy education, Gregory
will soon have to decide which
officer community she wants
to pursue. "This gives me an
opportunity to see what it's like
when the deal goes down in a
real shipboard environment,"
she said. "This kind of experi-
ence will help me make a more
informed decision." Gregory
was part of a group of ten
Midshipmen aboard Simpson for
their annual summer cruise.
Quartermaster 3r Class David
Holloway of Jesup, Ga., has
been aboard Simpson for more
than three years. "I think it's
always important to do this kind
of training," he said. "We've
got to be ready for when the real c i .9 e n
thing happens."
The TSSE training lasted near-
ly four hours, and similar scenar-
ios will be played out as the ship
transits to and from St. Lucia.
Fire Controlman lt Class Tyler
Hicks, of Mt. Vernon, Wash.,
said training is the only way to
become proficient, because an
actual attack could happen on
any day.
Key summed it up, saying "of T a e r tl
course we'll make our mistakes,
but that's ok. Lets make them
now and learn from them so we
are ready when that day comes.N o

Phil Sea Visits Turkey


By MCSN Ryan Steinhour
Nassau Strike Group Public,
Office
Guided-missile cruiser USS
Philippine Sea (CG-58) visit-
ed Aksaz, Turkey, June 15-18,
following three months in the
Navy's 5th Fleet area of opera-
tions in support of Theater
Security Cooperation objec-
tives and Maritime Security
Operations (MSO).
Philippine Sea's Morale,
Welfare, and Recreation (MWR)
organized several tours for the
Sailors, which gave them the
opportunity to see facets of
Turkey that many sailors visit-
ing would not have the opportu-
nity to see.
"We had nearly 200 Sailors
sign up for Turkey tours, the
most popular being white-
water rafting, Turkish night and
Pamukkale," said Lt.j.g. Larry
Gulliver, the MWR officer on
Philippine Sea. "Everyone had
an extremely good time despite
the long bus rides."
Participating in the tours gives
Sailors an opportunity to expe-
rience parts of the host nation
that they may not otherwise see
if traveling on their own. It also
gives them an opportunity to
spend their liberty hours experi-
encing the lifestyle, culture and
customs of their host nation.
"The Sailors get to experience
the culture and see the country
with some guidance," explained
Gulliver. "Many of the Sailors
I got a chance to talk with said
this was the best port we've vis-
ited."
In addition to tours, USS
Philippine Sea Chaplain, LT
Deidre Green, organized a com-
munity relations (COMREL)
project at the Marmaris House
of Peace, a home for the elderly.
While there, the Sailors took
time to sit down and talk with
those living at the home, and
helped out the neighborhood by
planting trees.
"The Turkish people were
extremely welcoming every-
where," explained Green. "This
COMREL project was different
from the others we have done
in the past. The Turkish people
were interested in showing us
the depth of their hospitality
rather than letting the Sailors

just do physical labor."
Turkish media was in full
force during the two hours of
work, which took the majority
of the 12 participants by sur-
prise. Looking to share their
generosity with those in need,
the Sailors quickly became
ambassadors of their ship and
the U.S. Navy.
"I was surprised by the
amount of media that were
there," said Engineman Fireman
Tom Wroblewski. "Our helping
out really didn't seem like a big
deal to me."
"Sailors at first were shocked
by the amount of media present,
as was I, but they quickly real-
ized that they were involved in
something a little more special,
equally as important, but differ-
ent from COMREL projects in
the past," said Green.
The event was highlighted
by the presentation of gifts
of the ship to the residents of
the home. The group's young-
est volunteer, Cryptologic
Technician Seaman Briana
Trujillo, 19, presented a stack of
books to the eldest member of
the home.
"It was an honor to be able to
present the books," said Trujillo.
"I feel they were truly happy to
receive the gifts that Chaplain
Green prepared."


"All the participants found
themselves involved in diplo-
matic relations involving two
world nations," explained
Green. "They paved the way for
future Sailors to visit and inter-
act with the Turkish community.
I'm very proud of them."
Philippine Sea is one of six
vessels in the Nassau Strike
Group currently deployed in
the Navy's 6th Fleet area of
operations supporting Maritime
Security Operations (MSO).
MSO help develop security
in the maritime environment,
which promotes stability and
global prosperity.

Philippine Sea Trains



Midshipmen For Duty


By MCSN Ryan Steinhour
Nassau Strike Group Public, ;
Office
Sailors aboard the guided-
missile cruiser USS Philippine
Sea (CG-58) waved goodbye
to a group of 14 Midshipmen
in Aksaz, Turkey Jun. 18 after
three weeks of living, training
and working beside one another.
Training was a main focus
of the Midshipmen's cruise,
while also getting the chance
to see how Sailors live while on
deployment. "Having to live
in such close quarters with 40
other people was a little over-
whelming," said Midshipman
1st Class Max Reitblatt. "After
awhile you get used to it
though."
Each Midshipman was teamed
up with a Sailor, or "running
mate," who would be responsi-
ble for helping the Midshipmen
acclimate and get acquainted
with the ship and its crew.
"Midshipman Graham was
anxious to learn about the
Engineering on the Philippine
Sea," said Gas Turbine Systems
Technician (Mechanical) 1st
Class (SW) Roy Flores. "I
believe he'll make a great offi-
cer when he gets his commis-
sion, and hopefully the training
he got here helped prepare him
for his future duties."
"The running-mate program
really helped the transition go
smoothly," said Midshipman 3rd


Class Michael Graham. "Having
Flores as my running mate
helped me understand the engi-
neering plant of the Philippine
Sea better."
The engineering knowledge
came in handy while stand-
ing watch in the ship's Central
Control Station (CCS). "CCS
watch-standing involved a lot
of monitoring of the smart ship
system," said Graham. "Having
the basic understanding of engi-
neering equipment helped when
making sure the ship was run-
ning smoothly."
With the Midshipmen's
departure, the Sailors of the
Philippine Sea prepared for
another group that arrived in
Split, Croatia. The new group of
seven Midshipmen were excited
to see how the ship works on a
daily basis.
"I enjoy standing the watch-
es because it gives me a better
understanding of what goes into
making this ship run 24/7," said
Midshipman 2nd Class Laura
Hall. "The entire ship has been
great to us. I see a great mix of
professionalism and fun."
"The entire experience has
been really incredible," said

"Getting to see Split Croatia,
and now experience life on a
cruiser returning from deploy-
ment is amazing. This entire
experience has been very edu-
cational and fun!"
"Ensuring the Midshipmen
cruises were both a meaningful
training experience and a fun
time for all the Midshipmen has
been a command priority from
the beginning," stated Philippine
Sea's Executive Officer,
Cmdr. Rich McDaniel. "The
Commanding Officer empha-
sized how important the cruises
were in shaping our future naval
leaders. I think the ship went a
long way in demonstrating what
life as a Surface Warrior Officer
is all about. The Midshipmen
were shown a full array of ship
capabilities, the work required
to keep the ship operational,
and the daily duties necessary
to keep a premier ship of the
line combat ready."

USS Vicksburg's Third Wingmen Hit Beach

By Ensign Dan Rader
USS Vicksburg
Most people think of Key
West, Fla., as a place where
they can have a great time while
laying on the beach and soaking
up the sun. For a U.S. Navy
Air Intercept Controller (AIC),
their idea of a great time may be
something far different... being
up at the crack of dawn, tacti-
cally controlling US Navy F/A-
18s.
Known as "The Third
Wingman" among naval avia-
tors, an AIC's job is to maintain
the big picture in the tactical
air environment and feed that
to the pilots. They use power-
ful radars to feed information

enemy is, how many opposing
aircraft there are, and what else
may be around them. Their pri-
mary duty is to get the friendly
aircraft into the "merge," (com-
monly known as a dogfight)
and then turn them loose once
the pilots are in radar or visual
contact with the enemy. Basic
AIC training takes place at Fleet

just over an hour with an imme-
diate debrief between the pilots
and controllers at its conclusion.
Afternoon sessions are normally
a repeat of the morning's events

narios become more complex.
NAS Key West is an ideal
location for AIC-based train-
ing for pilots, due to its wide-
open air space. The AICs
rotate through their command
more frequently than pilots, but
everyone benefits from the high
level of training.

their everyday lives. Operations
Specialist 2nd Class(SW) Nick
"Sparky" Davis and Operations
Specialist 2nd Class(SW) Julius
"Rev" Wilkerson are two of
USS Vicksburg's AICs that
recently attended the advanced
course in Key West. Rev has
been controlling aircraft for 4
years, Sparky for 2. Both agree
that the experience at NAS Key
West provided them vital train-
ing and allowed them to stay at
the top of their game.
"When it comes to being an
AIC, there's no better train-
ing than live control," Sparky
said. "Key West lets us work
with real-time events and actual
pilots... that's something we


just can't get in a simulated sce-
nario."
"It's the next best thing to
controlling them right off the
carrier," added Rev.
USS Vicksburg will be
deploying next year as the Air
Defense Commander for the
Eisenhower Strike Group, and in
preparation for that deployment,
CVW-7 pilots and AICs from
IKE's strike group will travel
to NAS Fallon for a month of
air control training at the Top
Gun School. For the pilots of
CVW-7 and the Sailors control-
ling them, it's a huge step for-
ward in their careers. Rev will
be attending the school.
"The chance to go to Top Gun


at this stage as an AIC is huge,"
Rev said. "All of our training
is based on the Top Gun man-
ual and to be able to work with
those instructors is a dream
come true."
Unfortunately, not every
AIC aboard Vicksburg will get
to make the trip to Top Gun.
Sparky is due to rotate off
Vicksburg before he gets that
chance, but he doesn't mind that
too much. Responding to Rev,
Sparky added, "I've got orders
to Key West to control fight-
ers every day. Taking what I've
learned from Vicksburg along
with what I am expecting to do
in Key west, I'll make it to Top
Gun soon enough."

according to where we need to
go collectively.
"Overall, the SWE contin-
ues to work steadily towards
the mission of optimizing warf-
ighting readiness for combatant
commanders," said Curtis.
During the SPC, partici-
pants will discuss how the
SWE ensures activities in sup-
port of warfighting readiness.
Several SWE groups -- includ-
ing the cross-functional teams
(CFTs) of personnel/training,
sustainment and modernization,
financial management, metrics
and strategic communications
-- offer presentations to review
the enterprise's efforts during
the last year. In addition, they
will lay out a course for the way

July 17, 8-11 a.m., Anger
Management, FFSC
What does anger do for you?
Communicate for you? Keep
people at a safe distance from
you? Keep you in charge? For
many people, anger serves them
many uses, but all too often,
it is at a high cost...usually of
relationships, unhappiness in
the workplace, and a general
feeling of disdain. If you want
to be able to break out of the
"get angry/get even" syndrome,
come to this class. Participants
learn how anger and judgment
are related, about irrational
beliefs and faulty self-talk, what
"E + R = 0" means, and the
roles of stress and forgiveness
in anger.

is a proven and effective pro-
gram that works in helping bat-
tered women gain the insight,
strength, and self esteem to
break the cycle of abuse.
The program focuses on the
woman and her own power to
change the course of her life.
Its goal is for the woman to
begin to understand the problem
of exploitation, abuse and its
reality for the entire family, to
become aware of its life long
patterns, to set realistic goals,
and to learn techniques for
developing new patterns of their

About The Kids?, FFSC
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.

surprises & and no hid-
den factors. We have
everything anybody else
can offer, in other
words, not iust a great
income, but all the good-
ies too! Commissions &
Incentives, vocations,
trips, rewards, health,
dental, life & vision

Starting income, up to
$45K $75K per year.
You can even qualify for
a $2,000.00 signing
bonus. Sounds good so
far, doesn't it? That's
why I can't understand
why in the world you
wouldn't investigate this
opportunity. This week

My favorite game is F JTB as well as most people, do not enjoy playing all of
( the games some car dealers do, when trying to purchase a vehicle. I would like to invite
Syou to visit my favorite dealer, where you do not need a inaonifyidg glass to read the
- f5 t fine print, be a lawyer, or an accountant, to understand their ad. The price adverflsed,
is the price your pay, including everything, all taxes, fees and tag... DRIVE OUT!
