Program Gives


Free Jaguars


Tix To Families


By MC3 Sean Allen
Fleet Public. Detachment
Southeast
The Mayport branch of The
United Service Organization
(USO) has several great oppor-
tunities for active duty service
members and their families to
attend home games for the 2008
Jacksonville Jaguars season.
The USO at Mayport has
approximately four hundred and
sixty six tickets for each Jaguars
home game this season. The
tickets are ten dollars per ticket,
and go on sale at
9 a.m. two Mondays prior to
the game.
The only exception to this, are
home games that are anticipated
to draw a large number of peo-
ple, such as the October 5 game
against the Pittsburg Steelers;
the December 14 game against
the Green Bay Packers; and the
December 18 game when the
Jags host the Indianapolis Colts.
The USO will hold a lottery to
determine who gets the tickets
for these games.
The "Sailors Aweigh" pro-
gram is another great way for
families of deployed service
members to attend a Jags game.
The program was established
by the Jaguars Foundation, and
the USO. Through this pro-
gram a families of deployed
service members can attend a
Jags game at no cost. Free tick-
ets to the game are provided, as
well as transportation, Jaguar
T-shirts, and "Jags Bucks" that


are used by children to purchase
snacks at the concession stand
during the game.
Rebecca Brown, whose hus-
band, Equipment Operator
Second Class Clyde Brown,
took advantage of this program
last December when the Jaguars
hosted the Carolina Panthers.
"My kids and I really enjoyed
it, my son had been wanting to
go to a game for a long time, so
it was nice to finally be able to
go." said Brown. "Without this
program, my kids and I would
not have been able to attend the
game; this is a great opportunity
for families to attend a game for
free."
Staff members of the USO
office also realize the impor-
tance and benefits of such pro-
grams.
"For your average military
family, it would not be possible
for them to attend Jaguar games
without the programs that the
USO has in place." said Wendy
Layton, Director of the Mayport
USO office. "This is one of the
many ways we say thanks to
our military members for their
service."
For more information, or
to sign up for the Sailors
Aweigh program individuals
should contact their command
OMBUDSMAN. For informa-
tion about purchasing tickets for
upcoming Jaguar games, call
the USO Mayport Center at
246-3481.

best embodies King's vision of
leadership, integrity, and com-
passion.
He was selected for the award
by the Officers and Chiefs, and


presented the award by John
Palombi, of the USNA Class of
1964. King's widow, Virginia
King, was also in attendance.

Navy in October 1993 and
served as a Hospital Corpsman.
He received his commission in
2005 through the STA-21 pro-
gram and is currently serving
his second Division Officer tour
as Fire Control Officer.


In addition to having his
name engraved on a ceremonial
plaque displayed in the ship's
Wardroom, Morris received a
monetary award from the Class
of 1964, a plaque present-
ed by the Carney Wardroom,
and a Navy and Marine Corps

Events Offer Professional, Personal



Growth For Female Military Members


By Lt. Cmdr.
Elizabeth Zimmermann
Navy Diversity Directorate Public

A robust and interesting
schedule for this fall is provid-
ing Navy women a wealth of
opportunities for professional
development, leadership build-
ing and networking.
From the Grace Hopper
Celebration of Women in
Computing Conference to
the Working Mother Media's
Multicultural Women's Town
Hall, these events increase
opportunities for women to
receive inspiration, to find men-
tors and to provide mentoring to
those they meet, and to become
empowered to succeed all
key components of the Chief
of Naval Operations Adm. Gary
Roughead's diversity policy.
"Every individual, military
or civilian, must be encour-
aged and enabled to reach his
or her full potential. They must
be inspired and empowered to
attain the most senior levels of
leadership. That empowerment
today is unleashed by involved,
thoughtful, proactive, and
enlightened leaders... Future


empowerment is cultivated by
that same leadership and men-
torship and an active commit-
ment to attracting and recruiting
the very best."
In addition, attendance brings
the diverse face of the Navy to
the American public.
"We want to engage in out-
reach activities that bring
Sailors in contact with the peo-
ple we serve, across the spec-
trum of our society," said Capt.
Ken Barrett, Navy Diversity
Director. "These events, and
others like them, are opportuni-
ties for individuals to not only
gain professional or personal
knowledge, but to show what
our Navy has to offer as a Top
50 employer."
On Sept. 5, attendees of the
5th Annual national Latina
Symposium presented by Latina
Style magazine will learn
about issues such as advanc-
ing Latinas in the workplace,
entrepreneurship and business,
emerging technology trends,
wealth creation and financial
security, political leadership,
professional development and
balancing health, career and
personal life.


Latina Style presents the
only national awards program
honoring Latinas serving in the
Armed Forces, and networking
opportunities abound.
For an opportunity to cele-
brate the advances of women
in technology attend the Grace
Hopper Celebration of Women
in Computing Conference in
Keystone, Colo. Oct. 1-4.
"This is a great opportunity to
showcase female Navy techni-
cal professionals at one of the
largest technology gatherings in
the world," said Lt. Stephanie
Miller, director of the Navy's
Women's Policy Program.
"Not only will this event
focus on the research and career
interests of women in comput-
ing, but what better group to
attend a symposium named after
one of ours than Navy women?"
Leading researchers will pres-
ent their current work, and spe-
cial sessions will focus on the
role of women in today's tech-
nology fields, including com-
puter science, information tech-
nology, research and engineer-
ing. Officer, enlisted and civil-
ian women are encouraged to
join women from USS Hopper


(DDG-70) in representing the
Navy at this conference.
Later in October, comes
another opportunity for
female officers from all mili-
tary services to expand their
leadership skills at the 5th
Annual Academy Women Fall
Leadership Symposium. The
event is being held Oct. 17-
19 at the Women in Military
Service for America Memorial
in Arlington, Va. This year's
theme is "Stories from Our
Sisters," and speakers include
the first female general offi-
cers: Generals Jeanne Holm,
Wilma Vaught, Pat Foote and
Adm. Marty Evans. There will
be a number of panels and other
activities, and a career work-
shop devoted to professional
development.
Those who miss the Grace
Hopper symposium may be
interested in attending the
National Women of Color
in Technology Conference in
Dallas, Oct. 23-25. The confer-
ence supports and recognizes
minority women in technol-
ogy careers. It connects them
with mentors, and provides a
forum to discuss the key issues


in U.S. job growth diversity, the
critical shortage of women in
IT careers, technological inno-
vation, and women-owned IT
ventures.
"There were many oppor-
tunities to network with other
women, and I found all the
women to be tremendously sup-
portive and encouraging," said
Tasha Lopez, a previous confer-
ence attendee.
"It was refreshing to be sur-
rounded by women who look
and act like women and are
highly successful not only in
their careers but also in their
personal lives."
In Baltimore, Nov. 6-8, the
Society of Women Engineers
(SWE) are holding their annual
convention. SWE empowers
women to succeed and advance
in their careers as engineers
and leaders. Navy members
are encouraged to attend this
year's conference, entitled
"Women Leading a Technical
Revolution."
Mothers in the Navy, or any-
one with an interest in gain-
ing insight on how to com-
pete and collaborate at senior
levels, develop mentor rela-


tionships, and manage con-
flict, are encouraged to attend
the Working Mother Media's
Multicultural Women's Town
Hall in Washington, D.C.,
Nov. 19. This year's topic is
Po\\ci Networking How to
Build Influential Value Based
Relationships."
"There are so many opportu-
nities out there to increase indi-
vidual's professional and per-
sonal options. We are constantly
on the look out for venues that
will benefit Navy women if they
attend," said Miller. "It's simply
a matter of taking a bit of time
to get involved."

H omefront in Focus


By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor
Guard and Reserve spouses
are truly my heroes. I advocate
a bumper sticker and t-shirt that
says Guard/Reserve Spouse:
Toughest Job in the Force! Why
do I feel this way? Because
Guard and Reserve spous-
es face unique circumstances
when their service member is
deployed that active duty spous-
es may not realize.
Guard/Reserve spouses are
frequently not located near a
military installation so accessing
information and support as well
as their benefits (commissary,
exchange, etc.) is a hurdle. For
many Guard/Reserve their 'drill
pay' is for the 'extras;' college
fund for the kids, or perhaps
a room addition. Their 'real
job' is their primary source of


income. When Guard/Reserve is
deployed many will experience
a pay cut to serve their country.
Melanie Adams, a Guard
wife shares, "One difficulty
was the isolation I sometimes
felt. We live 60 miles from [her
husband's] armory. I don't live
near the other wives so I feel
'disconnected' and isolated. My
family and friends are support-
ive but I need to connect with
other Guard wives."
When your Guard or
Reservist deploys let me
encourage you to attend all
pre-deployment events, even if
you're a seasoned spouse. Both
Guard and Reserve components
have rear detachments (admin-
istrative reserve personnel) that
are a valuable resource for you
throughout deployment. Take
the time to meet them. In addi-


tion there are Reserve/Guard
Reserve centers throughout the
country where you can turn for
support. Your pre-deployment
brief will include this informa-
tion.
I want to offer other resources
you may not be familiar with.
Your local American Legion
(www.legion.org) and VFW
(www.vfw.org) can be valuable
resources for you. From help-
ing with family emergencies,
financial aid, and even practical
help around the house these two
organizations have stepped up
to the plate to support Guard
and Reserve families serving in
this current conflict. I want to
recommend them for another
reason. Both the Legion and
VFW have auxiliaries (organi-
zation composed of spouses of
veterans) whose members are


seasoned spouses. These spous-
es are full of insight, encourage-
ment and support for you as a
spouse. Look them up!
Go Purple! "Purple" is
the term the military uses to
describe services or programs
that cross 'branches'. For Guard
and Reserve this is particularly
important. This means an Air
National Guard (Air Force)
can access services on a Navy
installation. A Navy Reservist
can go to the closer Army post
to shop, talk to legal or other
services. Don't be shy! Contact
the Family Service Center at
your nearest military installa-
tion. Let them know you are a
Guard/Reservist spouse. They
can send you a 'welcome pack-
et' with information on the local
base, maps and much more.
Finding support through rela-


tionships with other spouses can
be important and helpful. Your
closest military installation can
also be a resource for a 'deploy-
ment support group' or just to
meet other spouses experienc-
ing a deployment.
Another avenue to connect
with spouses is the internet.
There are many online connec-
tion sites where many, many
spouses connect with other
spouses for support, infor-
mation and encouragement.
A quick online search will
reveal many online communi-
ties such as Military Spouse
Support Network (www.
military spousesupport. net),
CinCHouse (www.cinchouse.
com), Hooah.com (www.hooah.
com) Military.com as well as
Army Times Publishing hosts a
site for each branch. Check your


local branch for online connec-
tion sites as well.
Guard and Reserve families
continue to be my heroes. The
role your service member plays
in the total force strength of our
military is significant and as the
proud spouses standing behind
them, you are to be honored.
Thank you for your sacrifice
and service. To my Active Duty
readers, may I encourage you
to look for the Guard/Reserve
spouses in your area? Reach
out to them and offer friendship
and support, we're all in this
together.

Military Spouse Of Year Accepts Nominations


From Military Spouse magazine
Military Spouse magazine
(MSM) today announced that it
is now accepting nominations
for its 2009 Military Spouse of
the Year (MSOY) award, spon-
sored by USAA. The MSOY
honoree represents the mil-
lions of military spouses who
are unsung heroes maintain-
ing the homefront, giving back
selflessly to their communities,
and providing support to our
nation's troops. Often, these
spouses also have full-time jobs
and raise families.
In recognition of their count-
less contributions, MSM will
honor one exemplary military
spouse from each service branch
and also select one overall win-


ner. The 2009 MSOY will be
announced and honored nation-
ally in the June issue of Military
Spouse magazine and at the
second annual MSOY Awards
Ceremony to be held during
the week of May 4, 2009 in
Washington, DC, in conjunction
with National Military Spouse
Appreciation Week. The win-
ner will make additional public
appearances, write a monthly
column to appear in Military
Spouse magazine, and main-
tain a blog during his/her reign,
which will last through May
2010.
MSM and its readers will
select the winner based on
his/her inspirational represen-
tation of all military spouses.


Nominees must be the spouse
of a current member of the
U.S. armed forces. Criteria for
selecting the recipient include:
impact on community change,
volunteerism, personal sacrifice,
education and career pursuits
and other military spouse-relat-
ed efforts. Last year's award
generated hundreds of nomina-
tions from across the country,
culminating in the selection of
Army wife Chelle Brewer as
MSOY 2008 (www.milspouse.
com/msoy2008).
MSM encourages individu-
als to submit a nomination for
either themselves or an eligible
nominee of their choice. To
submit a nomination, individu-
als must complete the nomina-


tion form online at www.msoy.
milspouse.com. The nomina-
tion period runs through Oct.
8, 2008. Judges will review
all submissions and select ten
finalists from each military ser-
vice branch, after which readers
will select one branch winner.
Judges include a hand-selected
portion of MSM's "Who's Who
of Military Spouses," a list of
influential military spouses.
"This award is MSM's


opportunity to thank all mili-
tary spouses for their invaluable
contributions, in addition to rec-
ognizing them for the challeng-
es they overcome every day,"
said Babette Maxwell, Military
Spouse magazine co-founder
and executive editor.
"The reason USAA exists
is to help military families
with their financial securi-
ty and the peace of mind that
brings especially to the mili-


tary spouse who shoulders so
much responsibility," said Joe
Robles, USAA's CEO and a
retired major general. "I know
I couldn't have done what I did
for the Army if my wife, Patty
hadn't taken care of everything
else. Being the title sponsor of
this award is a natural for us.
We feel honored to honor mili-
tary spouses."

School Is In, Your


Money Is Out


By Julia Dixon
NMCRS
For many of us, August is
more of a budget buster than
December. We know Christmas
is coming all year and many
of us plan for it, but there's
something about August that
just kind of sneaks up on you!
Maybe it's the lazy, hazy days
of summer fogging the mind,
but it just seems to creep up and
the next thing you know bam!!
you're swimming in back-to-
school debt.
I think it's easier to buy
Christmas presents a few
months ahead or set money
aside each month, but it just
seems odd to be buying school
clothes and supplies before they
even get out of the previous
school year! Two months of
summer just isn't enough.
Some of us get the double
whammy. Kids going back-to-
school mean that childcare costs
go down, but unfortunately, it
doesn't mean getting a month
break in between. So, are you
are in July paying childcare and
trying to purchase supplies, etc?
Not good. And, how about hav-


ing to pay for school pictures,
PTO dues, weekly readers,
music instruments and whatever
else your school decides just
can't wait and you have buy to
now?! I won't even talk about
the cost of fall sports! Wouldn't
it be great if the schools could
hand you a bill of estimated
costs for the entire year and
then let you pay a little each
month? But, we live in the real
world where life is messy and
not cost effective.
How many of you make
a budget and plan ahead and
on paper you have oodles of
dough left? But, then a few
days before payday-poof! it's
gone? How does that happen?!
That's where the Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society can help.
They can show you how to
budget your finances all year
and they can find that illusive
money gremlin that seems to
make your surplus funds disap-
pear (that little bugger is on my
hit list!). They can help you get
back on track. Call now for an
appointment and make NMCRS
your first resource not your last
resort. Call 270-5418.

Mesa Verde Completes First Shock Trial


By Ensign Corey Johnson
USS Mesa Verde
USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) successfully com-
pleted her first of three Shock Trials events off
the coast of Florida on Aug. 16.
Ten thousand pounds of explosives were deto-
nated close to the ship to provide data on how
such explosions would affect the ship. To some,
it may seem counter-intuitive to subject a brand-
new warship to such explosions and stresses, but
the information gained from the tests is vital in
improving San Antonio class and other classes of
ship designs.
"The LPD 17 Shipbuilding Program is very
proud of the job the Mesa Verde crew did in exe-
cuting the first shot of the three shot shock trials,"
said Cmdr. Mark Vandroff, PMS 317 Director
of Test and Requirements. "The full ship shock
trial is a vital part of the LPD 17 class test pro-
gram which demonstrates these ships' tremen-
dous warfighting and survivability capabilities for
the fleet and for our Marines."
At 2 p.m., the ship set general quarters. All
personnel onboard listened intensely as the count-


down to this monumental event began.
"All hands brace for shock!" Hearts were
pounding and palms were sweaty as the first shot
was detonated.
"We were surprised we felt it. It was kind of
cool!" stated Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SW)
Nikki Reeves.
The Department of the Navy is sensitive to
the potential environmental impacts from the
explosions, and has taken appropriate precau-
tions to minimize any harm to marine life. A
team of environmentalists from the Marine
Animal Response Team (MART) vessel Athena
and Environ Air scan the water for any signs of
marine mammals or sea turtles before the shot.
If any marine life is spotted, the shot is delayed
until the area becomes clear for detonation.
For the next several weeks, the remaining shots
will be fired at varying distances. Mesa Verde

SWOS Visits Mayport


By Lt. Cynthia Wood
'Training Group Mayport PAO
Earlier this year, Vice Adm.
D. C. Curtis, Commander Naval
Surface Force, decided the
Surface Warfare Officer School
(SWOS) pipeline for newly
commissioned ensigns required
an overhaul. His decision laid
the groundwork for a four-week
SWOS Introductory course
that ensigns will attend prior to
reporting to their ship.
The original plan called for
Afloat Training Group (ATG)
San Diego and ATG Norfolk to
conduct the initial course con-
vening. However, ATG Mayport
refused to be excluded from
participating in the renovation
of the SWOS curriculum. Capt.
Herbert Hadley, commanding
officer of ATG Mayport, and the
ATG Mayport team jumped at
the opportunity to act as the first
stepping stone in a new ensign's
career path. Thirty seven stu-
dents are filling the seats in the
first two Mayport classes that
began August 4, 2008. ATG
expects to instruct twenty stu-
dents per month following the
initial convening.
The SWOS Introductory
course provides a well-round-
ed curriculum that gives stu-
dents a foundation for building


knowledge and skills. During
the first three weeks, students
will receive instruction and sim-
ulator training encompassing
basic Navigation, Seamanship
and Ship handling (NSS); divi-
sion officer fundamentals;
basic engineering and Damage
Control; Maritime Warfare;
and Navy familiarization train-
ing. The fourth week of class is
dedicated to a Naval Leadership
course.
After reviewing the curricu-
lum, ATG Mayport decided to
go one step further by incorpo-
rating the renowned Mayport
family touch. ATG Mayport
coordinated optional training
opportunities with full sup-
port and enthusiasm from both
Destroyer Squadron Fourteen
and Destroyer Squadron 24,
in addition to various other
commands including Training
Support Detachment, Center
for Surface Combat Systems,
Branch Health Clinic Mayport,
and Fleet and Family Support
Center. The training will pro-
vide students the opportunity to
hone their NSS skills with extra
simulator time, gain exposure
to firefighting and the Damage
Control wet trainer, earn CPR
and second-class swimming
qualifications, gain experi-

ence with the rigid hull inflat-
able boat (RHIB) and simulate
live fire with the 9mm pistol
and M16 rifle in the Fire Arms
Training Simulator. The option-
al training will give the divi-
sion officers a head start on the
rigorous process of pursuing
their ultimate goal of becoming
Surface Warfare Officers.
ATG Mayport's goal is to
build on the SWOS mission of
"a continuum of professional
education and training in sup-
port of Surface Navy require-
ments," by providing the Fleet
with highly trained and well-
prepared Surface Warriors.

Run Foi
By MC2 Daniel Gay
FLTPACEN SE
If you are walking along the
road on Naval Station (NS)
Mayport and suddenly are
confronted by 60 or 70 people
running straight toward you,
chances are it is not an angry
mob; you just wandered into
one of NS Mayport's 5k/10k
Fun Runs. The most recent run
took place Aug. 12, and includ-
ed about 70 people including
the Commanding Officer of NS
Mayport.
"The run was wonderful as
always, a little warm and quite
humid today, but we had a
nice breeze in a few places,"
said Capt. Aaron Bowman, NS


Fun In I
Mayport's commanding officer,
who participated in the 5k.
Although the weather was
unforgiving the turnout for the
run was impressive.
"When I first got here we
would get maybe 25 people out
here, but for this run we had
about 70 to 80 people and even
a couple people with strollers,"
said Bowman.
The runs are not just meant to
be a fun diversion on a Tuesday
morning but they also help pro-
mote health and physical fitness
which is very important to the
Navy structure.
"These runs really show what
the base is doing to not only
promote physical fitness but


Hot Sun
to make it fun," said Bowman.
"What we don't want people
doing is putting on their run-
ning shoes twice a year and
going out to run the PRT. This
is a great maintenance program,
you don't have to come out here
running we have plenty of peo-
ple who started by walking. We
also have a 3k which is just for
people to come out and walk."
10k runs are held every quar-
ter and are sponsored by Navy
Federal Credit Union who
comes out and gives out drinks,
t-shirts and other items.
For more information on the
runs and other programs you
can contact the base Gym at

establish some "house rules"
and make sure your child under-
stands the consequences if he or

check with your child's school
for some after-school programs
that might be offered in your

For your children, time home
alone can be safe and secure

swim call with the Officer of the deck.

'Swim Call' For Vicksburg


By Ensign Ben Milton
USS Vicksburg
"All stop," was the engine
order given in USS Vicksburg
on Aug. 12 as the cruiser glided
through more than 4,500 feet of
water north of Grand Bahama
Island.
The weather conditions were
just right to conduct a much-
anticipated swim call for the
officers and crew. While tran-
siting to the AUTEC Range to
conduct SSRNM (Ships Self
Radiated Noise Measurement)
testing, Vicksburg took the
opportunity to relax for a cou-
ple of hours following several
action-packed days of Anti-
Submarine Warfare Operations
and engineering training evolu-
tions.
As a reward to the crew for
their hard work, Capt. Chuck
Nygaard, commanding officer,
made the decision to conduct


swim call. More than five
dozen Sailors took the 20-foot
leap off the Missile Deck into
the crystal blue water. With an
inviting and warm 85-degree
Fahrenheit water tempera-
ture, there was no excuse for
the crew not to enjoy this rare
opportunity. Any anxiety over
the local presence of friendly
sea creatures was minimized
by the use of Vicksburg's small


boat and armed shark look-
outs. Various members of the
Vicksburg Wardroom and Chief
Petty Officer's Mess contributed
to a safe and efficient evolution.
Everyone that participated
enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere
during the event. Upon com-
pletion of this morale-boosting
evolution, Vicksburg success-
fully completed SSRNM and
returned to homeport.

On Aug 7, a newlywed couple came into the Base Housing office for housing questions. Not only
did we give them answers, but they got a house. Housing, along with our partner Balfour Beatty
Communities, were able to celebrate their wedding with the newlyweds and they were able to
move in same day. They were so happy and Mrs. Robinson-Woolever was crying (relief that
things were working out for them and was unexpected), additionally they also received some
promotions from the partner

Forrest Sherman Delivers Project Handclasp


Materials To Salvadoran Health Center


By Lt. j. g.
Thomas A. Berenato
USS Forrest Sherman PAO
Sailors from guided-missile
Destroyer USS Forrest Sherman
(DDG-98) delivered a half-ton
of donated medical and hygiene
supplies to a health center near
the port of Acajutla, El Salvador
Aug. 7, capping a three-day
Theater Security Cooperation
visit to this municipality on El
Salvador's Pacific Coast.
Six Forrest Sherman crew-
members arrived at the Unidad
de Salud de Acajutla Health
Care Center to unload two pal-
lets -from materials donated
as part of the Chief of Naval
Operations' Project Handclasp,
a program established in 1962
to gather and issue essential
items like these stowed in spare
space on American warships.
Project Handclasp, based in
San Diego, has been able to dis-
patch approximately 1.5 mil-
lion pounds of such materials
to recipients in overseas ports
of call annually for the past
several years. Forrest Sherman
deployed from its homeport
of Norfolk, Va., on June 1 to
countries in Central and South
America carrying six Project
Handclasp pallets in an unused
helicopter hangar for offload
at sites in Peru and Panama as
well as El Salvador.
Dr. Ana Miriam Alfaro de
Linares, head of Unidad de
Salud de Acajutla, formally
accepted Forrest Sherman's
donation the next morning
from Cmdr. Dean M. Vesely,
the destroyer's commanding
officer, in a ceremony attend-
ed by senior members of the
Salvadoran Navy, who helped
coordinate the hand-over. Canal
29, a local television news sta-
tion, covered the event. Also
present were the directors of
two associated regional medi-
cal centers that will share the
shipment.
"It is good to have someone
from the United States see our
facility," said Dr. de Linares.
"Your contribution will help
many people in the area." she
said.
The twelve doctors and nine


nurses of Unidad de Salud de
Acajutla offer free health care
services including preg-
nancy counseling, prescrip-
tions, preventative medicine
and immunizations to 74,000
Acajutla residents "from birth
to death," Dr. de Linares said.
Open around the clock every
day of the year, her staff sees an
average 250 patients every 24
hours. They also promote pub-
lic health initiatives like sani-
tation, disease-prevention and
water-treatment. Their perennial
challenges include respiratory
infections like tuberculosis, as
well as conjunctivitis, diarrhea,
dengue fever and AIDS.
"We appreciate any help you
can give us, said Dr. Silvia
Morena Olivo, a representative
from the Salvadoran Ministry of
Health who previously worked
with U.S. Navy personnel last
summer when the hospital
ship USNS Comfort called in
Acajutla on a similar mission.
"We are glad that the coordi-
nation between the Salvadoran
and United States military in
this project is continuing."
Forrest Sherman is deployed
in support of U.S. Southern
Command's Partnership of
the Americas 2008 (POA 08).
USS Farragut (DDG 99), USS
Forrest Sherman (DDG 98),
with embarked LAMPS SH-
60B helicopter from HSL 44
Detachment 10, and USS
Kauffman (FFG 59), with
embarked LAMPS SH-60B
from HSL 42 Detachment 7, are
assigned to Destroyer Squadron
40 to support POA 08 opera-
tions, which are being held from
April to October throughout
South America, Central America
and the Caribbean.
POA08 emphasizes interoper-
ability and cooperation between
U.S. and partner nations' marin-
time forces through a variety of
exercises and events.

shampoo and cotton swabs and other goods sent by United States civilians through the Chief of Naval Operations' Project Handclasp, a
program established in 1962 to gather and issue essential items like these stowed in spare space on American warships.

USS Forrest Sherman, HSL-44 Detachment


Trains Alongside Salvadoran Sailors

A Sherman Sailor suits up a member of the El Salvadorian navy during a two-day training andparn-
ership activity.


By Lt. j. g.
Thomas A. Berenato
USSForrest Sherman PAO
Guided-missile Destroyer
USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-
98) hosted 100 members of El
Salvador's navy onboard for
a two-day program of training
and partnership activities while
underway and at anchor in the
harbor off Acajutla Aug. 5 and
6.
Seventy-five Salvadoran
officers and cadets embarked
Forrest Sherman two miles off
the Acajutla coastline for a six-
hour underway-demonstration
of the destroyer's features and
capabilities. A series of high-
speed turns showed off Forrest
Sherman's engineering plant at
full power, thrilling the guests..
Mauricio Martinez, a fourth-
year cadet in the Salvadoran
Navy, said he had never been
on a ship the size of Forrest
Sherman and was "amazed" by
her maneuverability and accel-
eration rates.
The afternoon's agenda start-
ed on the flight deck with a tour
of the ship's embarked LAMPS
SH-60B helicopter from HSL
44 Detachment 10, followed by
a staged rescue-and-assistance
drill to illustrate fire-fighting
methods from a small boat using
a portable P-100 pump. The
day's schedule concluded with
a display of Forrest Sherman's
crew-served weapons in action
and multiple salvos from the
five-inch gun.
Twenty-five additional
Salvadoran personnel arrived
the next morning for follow-on
damage-control training on the
use of fire-fighting equipment
and the importance of damage
control procedures.
"One of the things I will take
back to discuss with my cadets
- and one day soon with my
Sailors, will be the importance
of being prepared for all pos-
sible casualty scenarios," Cadet
Martinez said upon learning
how to don fire-fighting gear. "I
realize that keeping your peo-
ple prepared through an ardu-
ous qualification process makes


sure the crew reacts quickly to
any disasters," he said.
On the same morning Forrest
Sherman sent four engineers
and four electronics technicians
to a Salvadoran patrol boat
berthed at a nearby pier. The
Sailors assisted with the repair
of the vessel's high-frequency
radio antennas and led tutorials
in cable-maintenance and small-
boat engine repair.
"We trained the Salvadorans
on how to completely disassem-
ble their four-stroke outboard
engine and then, as a test, had
them put it all back together,"
said Petty Officer 3rd Class
Eric K. Koberg, who served as
the team's Spanish interpret-
er. "They figured it out pretty
quickly, so I think they definite-
ly learned something from us,
and we certainly had fun help-
ing them," Koberg said.
Salvadoran Navy Capt.
Guillermo Jimenez, Chairman
of the Military Policy Board
of the Armed Forces, helped
arrange Forrest Sherman's
visit and attended the under-
way demonstration. A veteran
of Operation Iraqi Freedom,
Jimenez is a graduate of both
the United States Naval Staff
College and the United States
Naval Command College.
Among the issues of common
interest he recognized between
the Salvadoran and United
States navies are stopping the
flow of illegal narcotics, eradi-


r
Brighton Bay
0'B~l KQ


eating terrorist activities, and
addressing the emerging threat
of climate change.
"Regional stability is the cor-
nerstone of Central America's
development," Jimenez said.
"This translates into superior
operational and tactical interop-
erability among our neighbors
in Central America and with the
United States. A drug runner,
for example, will have a much
harder time evading capture by
running into territorial waters
if the navies of all the Central
American countries act in uni-
son with the help of the United
States."
Jimenez was happy with the
level of interaction and looks
forward to continued training
with the United States Navy,
especially on the tactics of mar-
itime interdiction operations
(MIO).
"El Salvador could certain-
ly benefit from MIO training
for its patrol units," he said. "
Forrest Sherman's crew shared
more than mere knowledge with
their Central American counter-
parts, Jimenez said.
They also serve as mod-
els for the next generation of
Salvadoran Sailors.
"This, perhaps, has been the
most important benefit of your
visit," he said. "We have tra-
ditionally been a coastal patrol
force, but now our junior offi-
cers and cadets are stepping into
a different world."

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.

USAA Expands Its Membership Eligibility


From USAAA
Now all military retirees and
any service members honorably
discharged after 1995, and their
families can join USAA.
An additional three million
now have access to USAA.
SAN ANTONIO Citing
steady growth in financial
strength and operational capaci-
ty, USAA announced that effec-
tive immediately, membership
is now expanded to include:
Military retirees, regardless
of when they retired
Military personnel who
were honorably discharged on
or after Jan. 1, 1996
Widows or widowers of
military personnel killed in
action while eligible
After they join, spouses and


children of the above may also
be eligible for membership.
"Today, USAA is stronger
than at any time in our 86-
year history, which enables us
to offer the benefits of USAA
membership to more military
families than ever before," said
Joe Robles, USAA's President
and CEO. "Having served as an
Army Private and many ranks
along the way to Major General,
it gives me great personal sat-
isfaction to know that another
three million former service
members and their families now
have access to all that USAA
offers."
USAA began as an offi-
cer-only association in 1922,
opened to enlisted personnel in
1996, and today serves 6.4 mil-


lion current and former military
members and their families.
Throughout its history, USAA
has played an important role in
helping military families with
their financial needs, providing
them with insurance, invest-
ments and banking products as
well as financial planning and
advice.
Who is eligible for USAA
membership?
Military personnel
Active duty and retired
service members of the U.S.
Armed Forces (Army, Air
Force, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard) or in the Selected
Reserve or National Guard; or
those honorably separated in
1996 or later from active duty,
Selected Reserve or National


Guard.
Cadets, Midshipmen, and
officer or warrant officer candi-
dates in government-sponsored
programs leading to a commis-
sion.
Family members
Adult children, widow(er)s,
and un-remarried former spous-
es of USAA members.
Widow(er)s of officer and
enlisted personnel who were
killed in action while eligible.
Additionally, USAA life,
investment and retirement
products are also available to
members' extended family,
who are not eligible for USAA
membership. USAA made this
change to help members secure
the financial welfare of their
extended family members; for


example, an aging parent for
whom a member is providing
care.
Today, with heightened con-
cerns about the economy and
financial institution solvency,
USAA members know they can
depend on USAA's conservative
management and fundamental
financial strengths:
Strong net worth
Consistent profitability
High liquidity
Low debt levels
In 2007, Standard & Poor's,
A.M. Best and Moody's inde-
pendent rating agencies again
awarded USAA's Property &
Casualty Insurance Group the
highest ratings for financial
strength, making USAA one of
a small, elite group of compa-


nies to retain the highest pos-
sible ratings. More current mid-
year 2008 results are available
on usaa.com.
About USAA
USAA, a diversified finan-
cial services group of compa-
nies, is the leading provider
of financial planning, insur-
ance, investments, and bank-
ing products to members of the
U.S. military and their families.
Named by BusinessWeek as
No. 1 Customer Service Champ
in 2007 and 2008, USAA pro-
vides highly competitive finan-
cial products to its 6.4 million
members. For more information

4th Fleet Tours Continuing Promise Sites


By MC3 William S. Parker
4' Fleet Public, ;
Rear Adm. Joseph Kernan,
commander, U.S. 4th Fleet,
toured medical, engineering and
dental humanitarian sites in here
Aug. 13 as a part of the first
stop in the Caribbean Phase of
Continuing Promise (CP) 2008.
CP is a collaborative effort
between the United States and
partner militaries, non-govern-
mental organizations (NGO)
and partner-nation support
organizations to build strong


relationships that can be called
upon in the event of a regional
situation requiring cooperative
solutions.
The first stop on the tour was
Nancy Bach Hospital where
Kernan, along with Continuing
Promise 2008 Mission
Commander, Capt. Fernandez
"Frank" Ponds and Capt. Walter
Towns, commanding officer,
USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), donat-
ed medical equipment from
Project Handclasp to local hos-
pitals.


During a ceremony, CP lead-
ership presented a new sono-
gram suite to the Waspam
Medical clinic while an endos-
copy and EKG machine were
presented to the hospital on
behalf of Project Handclasp
through the Partnership of the
Americas.
Project Handclasp is a Navy
program established in 1962 to
collect and distribute donated
humanitarian, educational and
goodwill materials.
"We greatly appreciate every-


thing the hospital is doing for
the community and all the help
they are giving us in what we
are trying to do," said Kernan.
After the ceremony, the
military leaders toured all four
medical mission sites to witness
firsthand the efforts of the joint
military medical teams.
"There are a lot of great
things going on here, I believe
a lot of friends have been made
and a lot of lives have been
blessed," said Kernan.
USS Kearsarge is under the


operational control of U.S. 4th
Fleet. U.S. 4th Fleet's mis-
sion is to direct United States
naval forces operating in the
Caribbean, and Central and
South American regions and
interact with partner nation
navies to shape maritime envi-
ronment.
Kearsarge's mission is to con-
duct civil-military operations
including humanitarian and
civic assistance (HCA) to send a
strong message of U.S. compas-
sion, support and commitment


to Central and South America
and the Caribbean.
The CP Caribbean Phase is
the second of two HCA deploy-
ments to the Southern Command
area of focus for 2008. The first
CP deployment was conducted
by USS Boxer (LHD 4) in the
Pacific.

Promise, visit U.S. Southern

Ship For Ocean Exploration'

From NOAA
Senior federal officials today
in Seattle commissioned the
Okeanos Explorer, the first
federal ship solely dedicated to
exploring the ocean.
A former U.S. Navy sur-
veillance vessel, the ship was
transferred to NOAA in 2004
and converted to perform ocean
exploration. The Okeanos
Explorer will use telepres-
ence D satellite and high-speed
Internet-based technology D to
enable scientists on shore at any
of five Exploration Command
Centers to participate in and
direct real-time exploration
while viewing live images and
other ocean data.
John J. Sullivan, deputy sec-
retary of commerce and retired
Navy Vice Admiral Conrad C.
Lautenbacher, Jr., under secre-
tary of commerce for oceans
and atmosphere and NOAA


New Ship


administrator, led the commis-
sioning ceremonies.
"This vessel will have a
significant role supporting
President Bush's Ocean Action
Plan, helping us learn more
about this vast, largely unex-
plored realm of our world.
Additionally, the government
saved American taxpayers mil-
lions of dollars by refurbishing
a surplus ship instead of build-
ing a new one for ocean discov-
ery," Sullivan said.
The ship will work in part-
nership with the University of
Rhode Island's Inner Space
Center, the hub for the ship's
exploration activities. The Inner
Space Center was developed by
explorer Dr. Robert Ballard, best
known for his discovery of the
wreck of the Titanic. In addi-
tion to the Inner Space Center,
Exploration Command Centers

Begins Operations


In 7th Fleet


From Seali ftLogistics CommandFar
East Public., "
Military Sealift Command dry
cargo/ammunition ship USNS
Richard E. Byrd (T-AKE 4)
entered the waters of the U.S.
Navy's 7thFleet July 24, marking
the first Lewis and Clark-class
multi-product combat logistics
support ship in service in the 52
million-square-mile region.
Byrd replaces MSC combat
stores ship USNS Niagara Falls
(T-AFS 3), which has been
forward deployed supporting
7th Fleet since 1994.
Though the entry into the
fleet's territorial waters was
unceremonious, it signals a
significant change for Logistics
Group Western Pacific, also
know as Commander Task Force
73, which will operationally
control the ship while in theater.
"This ship will enable our
command to provide the
warfighter with a level of
support that is unprecedented,"
said Rear Adm. Nora Tyson,
CTF 73 commander. "It brings a
much more robust capability to
the fight."
The 689-foot-long underway
replenishment vessel, known as
a T-AKE, replaces the current
capability of the Kilauea-class
ammunition ships and Mars-
class combat stores ships, and it
also possesses the capability to


refuel ships at sea.
"The combat stores ships are
extremely capable and have
developed a real 'can-do'
culture for any mission in 7th
Fleet. However, having the T-
AKE as a one-stop logistics ship
in the Navy's largest theater
will significantly improve the
flexibility of our operations,"
said Capt. Jim Smart, CTF
73 assistant chief of staff for
logistics.
"While we say a sad farewell
to Niagara Falls and honor her
many years of fine service and
her reputation for professional
excellence, we welcome and are
glad to have Byrd and its crew
on the Navy team in the Western
Pacific."
Byrd has a crew of 124 civil
service mariners working for
MSC as well as a military
detachment of 11 Sailors who
provide operational support
and supply coordination. When
needed, Byrd can also carry a
supply detachment.
MSC operates approximately
110 noncombatant, merchant
marine-crewed ships that
replenish U.S. Navy ships,
conduct specialized missions,
strategically preposition combat
cargo at sea around the world
and move military cargo and
supplies used by deployed U.S.
forces and coalition partners.


of New Hampshire, Mystic
Aquarium in Connecticut,
and NOAA facilities in Silver
Spring, Md. and Seattle.
"The ocean provides us
food, medicines, energy, and a
means for transportation," said
Lautenbacher. "While we have
relied on the seas for centuries
they still hold many secrets.
This new ship will help unlock
those mysteries and bring dis-
coveries to light."
Cmdr. Joseph A. Pica, will
be the first commanding offi-
cer of the ship. Following com-
mission, it will begin a period
of crew training and systems
field testing before embarking
to operate in the Pacific for two
years.
Okeanos Explorer was
named by a team of students
from Woodstock High School
in Woodstock, Ill., who won a
nationwide ship-naming contest


NOAA initiated to further ocean
literacy and education. Okeanos
is the ancient Greek word for
ocean.
As part of the NOAA fleet
of research and survey ships
and aircraft, Okeanos Explorer
will be operated, managed,
and maintained by officers of
the NOAA Corps, one of the
nation's seven uniformed ser-
vices, and by civilians under the
Office of Marine and Aviation
Operations. The ship's explora-
tion systems will be operated
by NOAA's Office of Ocean
Exploration and Research.
NOAA understands and pre-
dicts changes in the Earth's
environment, from the depths of
the ocean to the surface of the
sun, and conserves and manages
our coastal and marine resourc-
es. Visit http://www.noaa.gov.

Commissaries Stocking


More 'Green Clean' Products


By Lynda Valentine
DeCA
Over the past year, the
Defense Commissary Agency
has almost tripled the number
of "green clean," recycled and
biodegradable products sold in
stores. Commissaries now offer
24 green and natural products
in laundry detergents, glass and
surface cleaners, bleach, stain
removers, drain openers, fabric
softeners, and floor cleaners.
"We see, by the sales of these
items, that our customers want
this type of product," said Rick
Page, the agency's acting direc-
tor. "As the availability of prod-
ucts in the green clean, natural
and recycled categories con-


Sugar A

By Maj. Karen E. Fauber
DeCA dietitian
When reaching for a sugar-
free treat this summer you
might see that there is sorbitol
or another sugar alcohol in it.
This alcohol will not give you
the buzz you get from drinking
your favorite beer or a mixed
drink, but if you eat foods con-
taining one or more sugar alco-
hols it can affect you espe-
cially if you have diabetes.
Sugar alcohols are often used
as sweeteners or fillers in food.
They are made from carbo-
hydrates such as sucrose, glu-
cose and starch, and are often
used in reduced-calorie foods.
Commonly used sugar alco-
hols include sorbitol, glycerol
or glycerin, mannitol, xylitol,
maltitol syrup, erythritol, iso-
malt and hydrogenated starch
hydrolysates.
You can also find small
amounts naturally in fruits and
vegetables. If you use a sugar-
free toothpaste or mouthwash,


tinues to grow, DeCA will also
continue to increase the number
of items we make available to
our customers."
The largest natural brand
being stocked within DeCA is
the Seventh Generation brand.
Commissaries also stock Citra
Sol, another well-known natural
brand. Plus, many mainstream
brands are coming out with nat-
ural alternatives. Purex has a
laundry detergent called "Purex
Naturals" and Clorox has begun
manufacturing all-purpose
cleaning, glass, bathroom and
toilet bowl cleaner products
under a "Green Works" label.
Rounding out the list of green
products being sold at commis-


series are 21 types of compact
fluorescent light bulbs and 15
recyclable products in the paper
section.
According to the
Environmental Protection
Agency's Web site, http://www.
epa.gov/, about one out of every
three commercial cleaning prod-
ucts contains harmful chemi-
cals. Green products are defined
as cleaning and maintenance
products that minimize adverse
impacts on children's health and
the environment, while clean-
ing effectively. Environmentally
preferable cleaning products
have less impact on human
health and the environment than
their traditional counterparts


because they are generally less
toxic and contain lower con-
centrations of volatile organic
compounds, ozone-depleting
chemicals, endocrine disrupt-
ers, and reproductive toxins and
carcinogens.
When shopping for green
clean products, consumers
should check labels for word-
ing such as "nonhazardous,"
"mild or nonirritant" and "neu-
tral pH."
Product availability may dif-
fer from store to store. For more
information about DeCA's "Go
Green" program, visit our Web
site at http://www.commissar-
ies.com.


Icohol Not A Mixed Drink


you will probably find a sugar
alcohol or two on the label.
When you eat a food with
sugar alcohol in it, your body
does not have to use much insu-
lin, if any, to change the food
into energy, therefore it doesn't
affect your blood-sugar level
very much. So this is really
good news for those with diabe-
tes. However, this isn't a green
light to eat all you want of foods
with sugar alcohols as they can
cause intestinal discomfort and
gas.
The American Dietetic
Association advises that eating
more than 50 grams of sorbitol
or more than 20 grams of man-
nitol may cause diarrhea. So if
you are eating quite a few of the
sugar-free cookies in hopes of
saving a few calories or chew-
ing several pieces of sugar-free
gum with sorbitol in a day and
getting a stomachache, this
might explain it.


Read the label
It is generally recommended
that those with diabetes count
half the grams of sugar alcohol
in a food as carbohydrates, as
about half of it is digested. It
requires a little math that can
help pay off with managing
blood-sugar levels:
*Count it as a free food if all
the carbohydrate in a food is
from sugar alcohol only and
equals less than 10 grams per
serving.
*For all other foods, divide
the grams of sugar alcohol by
two and subtract it from the
total grams carbohydrate per
serving. For example: A bar has
35 grams carbohydrate and 20
grams sugar alcohol. Divide the
20 by 2 which equals 10 grams
carbohydrate. Then subtract the
10 grams from the 35 grams to
equal 25 grams carbohydrate.
With a little practice you will
find it easy to figure out how


much carbohydrate is really in
those sugar-free or reduced-
sugar foods. Sugar-free does not
mean calorie-free, so remem-
ber to control the portion sizes
while you enjoy the sweets.
See you in the commissary,
where with savings of 30 per-
cent or more, it's always worth
the trip!
For more information about
sugar-free foods and other nutri-
tion topics, visit http://www.
commissaries.com, go to Ask
the Dietitian, post your ques-
tions on the DeCA Dietitian
Forum and be sure to look for
other useful information in the
Dietitian's Voice archive.

How To Turn Commissary


Ingredients Into Fun Time


By Kay Blakley
DeCA home economist
School's out and the children
are free for endless hours of
summer fun! Yea, right! Maybe
for a week or so, then come
those pitiful whines of, "Mom,
I'm bored. There's nothing to
do." This year, be prepared to
turn a boring afternoon into a
total summer blast with a few
common kitchen ingredients.
Want to make some huge,
sturdy bubbles that float for
an amazingly long time before


they pop? Dish washing liq-
uid, corn syrup and water is all
it takes to make a whole tub
full. Cornstarch, food color-
ing and a pinch of soap flakes
makes a great batch of finger
paints. Cornstarch and white
glue becomes Silly Putty in a
snap, and a roll of toilet paper
and a bar of soap easily trans-
forms into Clean Mud as long
as you've got the recipe.
While the children are mes-
merized with the batch of Big
Bubbles, mom can stir togeth-


Customers Makinc


Healthier
By Maj. Karen Fauber
DeCA dietitian
While shopping in the com-
missary last week I saw the
most wonderful sight for a
dietitian: Everywhere I looked
people were reading labels on
packages. I would like to think
that they were all trying to make
the healthiest choices possible
as they took advantage of their
commissary benefit. This was
wonderful to see, because as the
DeCA dietitian it's my mission
to help educate our customers
make informed decisions about
their health.
According to the 2007 Food
& Health Survey, as many as
66 percent of food shoppers are
trying to make healthy choices
for themselves and their fami-
lies. So it makes sense that more
people are reading labels on
packages to choose foods that
meet their health and dietary


Choices
needs. However, today it can be
a little challenging for shoppers
to make those decisions with all
the information that is on the
labels.
To help make your shop-
ping easier, try using the "5-20
guide" as a quick tip to label
reading. For any nutrient on the
food label (usually found on
the side or back of the product)
consider the following amounts:
*5 percent or less is low: For
nutrients you need to limit like
fat, saturated fat and sodium,
choose foods with 5 percent or
less daily value.
*20 percent or more is high:
For nutrients you need more of,
such as fiber, calcium and iron,
choose foods with 20 percent or
more daily value.

coffee cans now, so you'll have
enough to go around.

Enjoy Green


Tea Time Today


By Maj.
Karen E. Fauber
DeCA dietitian
Want a boost for your
health? Try a cup of hot or
cold green tea brimming
with antioxidants instead
of the usual soda or cof-
fee. Available in bags, loose
leaves, bottles, and cans,
green tea contains the anti-
oxidants known as catechins,
which are beneficial for good
health. Drinking green tea
may help reduce the risk for
coronary heart disease, as
well as stomach, throat and
skin cancers.
An extensive Japanese
research study recently
published in the Journal
of the American Medical
Association found that peo-
ple who drank five or more
cups of green tea daily had
a lower risk of death from
disease than those aver-
aging less than one cup a
day. Don't lose heart over
the amount consumed dur-
ing the study. You don't
have to drink a gallon of tea
each day because the size of
a cup of tea in Japan is 3.3
ounces compared to the 6-
to 8-ounce cup in the United
States. And, researchers did
observe benefits from drink-
ing as little as one to two
cups of green tea a day. In
addition to green tea's health
improvements, you also can


save 30 percent or more if
you purchase it at your com-
missary.
Trying to lose weight
Growing evidence shows
that drinking unsweetened,
fresh-brewed green tea, on
ice or hot, may be the ulti-
mate weight-loss drink.
Research has shown that
drinking tea several times a
week has contributed to 20
percent less body fat than
those who drank none. So if
you are trying to lose a few
pounds, or want to main-
tain your weight, drinking
green tea may help you do
just that. Try adding a few
lemon, orange, or lime slices
along with some mint leaves
to spice it up a little. Anyway
you drink it you can enjoy
the health benefits of green
tea.
See you in the commis-
sary!

My favorite game is F OiLII iL L. I, 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 you to visit my favorite
dealer, where you do not need a magnifying glass to read the fine print, be a lawyer, or an accountant,
' | to understand their ad. The price advertised, is the price your pay, including everything, all taxes, fees
and tag... DRIVE OUT!
