Vicksburg Participates In O'Bannon SINKEX


By Ensign Marc Schron
USS Vicksburg
The crew of USS Vicksburg
executed months of training
and rehearsal last week as an
integral part of the Eisenhower
Carrier Strike Group sink-
ing exercise of the ex-USS
O'Bannon.
USS O'Bannon decom-
mission from Naval Station
Mayport in August 2005.
Formed in a column of con-
siderable water-borne firepow-
er, the USS Vicksburg, USS
Stout, USS Bainbridge, and
USS Halyburton threw much of
their war-fighting might at the
helpless hulk of what was once
DD-987.
Vicksburg began the assault
with the launch of a Harpoon
missile, a spectacle of which
the entire crew was invited
onto the flight deck to watch.
After sending the ordnance
down-range, the embarked
"Dark Knights" from HSL-46
Detachment Four took to the air
for their own assault. Closing to
firing range, Detachment Four
and Halyburton's Detachment
Two used their frame-mounted
.50 caliber machine guns and
door-mounted M240 machine
guns to practice small arms
strafing of a surface target.
Once their allotted ammo cans
were exhausted, the helicopters


moved out to a safe distance to
observe the warships close and
engage the ex-USS O'Bannon
in the majestic way that only
a mighty surface combatant is
able.
Each ship was given the
chance to fire their Mk 45 5-
inch deck guns, Vicksburg
being privileged to shoot both
her forward and aft batteries.
Between rounds of shelling with
the 5-inch, each ship made an
approach to utilize their SCAT
crew-served weapons. As
Vicksburg came alongside the
EX-O'Bannon, the destruction
from the Harpoon missile and
5-inch rounds was evident in
the large holes throughout the
ship. Closing to within three-
hundred yards, the SCAT teams
honed their targeting by engag-
ing pre-designated areas of the
superstructure.
Leaving the EX-O'Bannon
riddled with small-arms rounds
and on fire, Vicksburg stood
off to a safe distance while
Bainbridge and Stout each fired
an SM-2 missile. These last
two engagements proved too
great for the doomed ship, and
the helicopter crews were able
to report on the quick sinking as
the EX-O'Bannon slid beneath
the waves to its final resting
place.

These are just a few of the

(SWE) stakeholders held in

every class of ship in the sur-


kes Action For Surface


face force.
Led by Vice Adm. D.C.
Curtis, Commander, Naval
Surface Forces and Commander,
Naval Surface Force, U.S.
Pacific Fleet and the entire SWE
Surface Board, the conference
brought together major surface
warfare stakeholders repre-
senting the Naval Sea Systems
Command, Naval Supply
Systems Command, the staff of
the Chief of Naval Operations
with the CLASSRON
Commanders.
The centerpiece of the confer-
ence was a series of briefings
on the first day from each of the
Class Squadron (CLASSRON)
commanders outlining their
top priorities for the SWE's
Sustainment and Modernization
Team (SMT). Those briefings
were followed by SMT briefs
addressing actions already taken
and possible courses of action


for each issue.
According to Curtis, break-
ing down barriers to free and
open communication across the
enterprise and the resulting dia-
logue is what makes the SWE
successful.
"Having all the stakehold-
ers either in the room, or online
via teleconference resulted
in lively, but productive con-
versations that made it possi-
ble the very next day for the
SMT to outline the way ahead
on each and every one of the
issues discussed. Our goal is to
increase warfighting readiness!"
exclaimed Curtis.
"It was the best face-to-
face conference we've had
in the 18 to 24 months that
I've been associated with the
CLASSRON," said LHDRON
Commander Capt. Bill
Valentine. "Communicating
between the myriad and com-


plex activities associated with
Surface Force maintenance,
identifying requirements, then
beginning to match scarce
resources to the most important
issues. It was a requirements
and resource-focused discussion
that was really bottom up, from
the issues originating at the
deck plates to solutions devel-
oped and implemented up the
chain all the way to NAVSEA
and even the CNO."
All told, conference attendees
reviewed 30 fleet issues from
all eight CLASSRONs. Most
of the issues sought improved
capability and reliability as
well as improved safety on the
waterfront.
According to SMT Flag Lead
Rear Adm. Jim McManamon,
about 30 percent of the issues
raised can be addressed or
largely mitigated with existing
resources, while 70 percent of

it is at a high cost...usually of
relationships, unhappiness in
the workplace, and a general
feeling of disdain. If you want

"get angry/get even" syndrome,

Children who witness fam-

A wide range of child adjust-
ment problems has been found
to be associated with exposure
to domestic violence. Parent's
need to see and understand the
effects of domestic violence
on children as encompassing
behavior, emotion, development
and socialization. Parents need


to understand that there is an
intergenerational cycle of vio-
lence and they may be creat-
ing a legacy for their child of
learned violent behavior. The
purpose of this program is not
to shame parents for events
that have already happen, but
to instill hope that things can
change. The knowledge that the
violence, which many parents
incorrectly believe is unseen
by their children, is negative-
ly impacting their children's
growth and development and
may provide an additional moti-
vator for ending the violence
and seeking intervention.

"The department is commit-
ted to aggressively addressing
the needs of our service mem-
bers and their families," said
Secretary of Defense Robert M.
Gates.
Specially trained consultants
will ensure consistent, quality
customer-centric support. The
consultants will identify the
appropriate "warm hand-off' to
either a military service or fed-
eral agency with authority to
resolve the matter. The resource
center consultant will maintain


communication with the call-
er until the issue or concern is
resolved.
"The term 'wounded war-
rior' encompasses the entire
population of wounded, ill and
injured service members and
veterans," said Principal Deputy
Under Secretary of Defense
for Personnel and Readiness
Michael L. Dominguez.
Chief Yeoman Byron Britt,
a consultant answering the
phones at Safe Harbor, finds the
job professionally and person-
ally satisfying fi and full of sur-
prises.
"When the phone rings you
never know who is going to be
on the other line," said Britt. "It
could be a servicemember or
their mother or wife. The one


guarantee is that whoever it is
you will be able to help them
through a difficult time.
"One my most memorable
moments while working on the
call center was when we had
the honor of meritoriously pro-
moting a petty officer who was
severely wounded while he was
serving in Iraq. His mom and
wife were so proud. Moments
like that make me realize just
how important what we do is."
The Wounded Warrior
Resource Center meets the
requirements of Section 1616
of the FY08 National Defense
Authorization Act for a cen-
tralized number and ensures
wounded families and caregiv-
ers have a number to call at any
time.

Navy Accepts Delivery


Of Destroyer Stockdale


By Program Executive Officer Ships
Public.
The Navy accepted delivery
of the guided-missile destroy-
er Stockdale from General
Dynamics Bath Iron Works dur-
ing a ceremony in Bath, Maine,
Sept. 30.
Designated DDG 106, the
new destroyer honors Medal
of Honor recipient Vice Adm.
James Bond Stockdale (1923-
2005), the legendary leader
of American prisoners of war
(POWs) during the Vietnam
War.
Stockdale is the 56th Arleigh
Burke-class destroyer. The ship
will be able to conduct a variety
of operations, from peacetime
presence and crisis manage-
ment to sea control and power
projection. Stockdale will be
capable of fighting air, surface
and subsurface battles simul-
taneously and contains a myr-


iad of offensive and defensive
weapons designed to support
maritime warfare. The ship can
operate independently or as part
of carrier strike groups, surface
action groups, amphibious ready
groups and underway replenish-
ment groups. The ship's combat
system centers around the Aegis
combat system and the SPY-
1D(V), multi-function phased
array radar.
Cmdr. Frederick W. Kacher,
of Oakton, Va., is the prospec-
tive commanding officer of the
ship and will lead the crew of
276 officers and enlisted person-
nel. The 9,200-ton Stockdale is
being built by Bath Iron Works,
a General Dynamics Company.
The ship is 509 feet in length,
has a waterline beam of 59 feet
and a navigational draft of 31
feet. Four gas turbine engines
will power the ship to speeds in

Stockdale was the highest-
ranking naval officer ever held
as a POW in North Vietnam.
His plane was shot down Sept.
9, 1965, while flying combat
missions over North Vietnam.
Stockdale spent more than seven
years in captivity at prisons in
North Vietnam, including time
at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton."
Four of those years were spent
in solitary confinement.
While imprisoned, Stockdale
is credited with organizing a set
of rules to govern the behavior
of fellow POWs and for helping
to develop a code for prison-
ers to communicate with each
other that included tapping on
cell walls. In recognition of his
leadership and sacrifice he was
awarded the Medal of Honor in
1976.

are high in calories, but eating
only a small handful will help
do the job. Try using a handful
of walnuts or almonds on your
salad instead of meat, cheese or
croutons.
Go olive oil
Olive oil has lots of antioxi-
dants that can lower your "bad"
cholesterol while leaving your
"good" or HDL cholester-
ol alone. The Food and Drug
Administration recommends
using two tablespoons of olive
oil a day to get its heart-healthy
benefits.
Go plant sterols and sterols
Look for the margarines,
orange juice and yogurt drinks
fortified with plant sterols to
help reduce cholesterol by more
than 10 percent. You need at
least 2 grams which equals
two 8-ounce glasses of orange
juice fortified with plant sterols
a day to help lower cholesterol.
If you are watching your bud-
get, and who isn't these days, it
may be most economical to get
the plant stanols or sterols from
fortified juice or margarines.

Naval Intelligence


Director Visits Mayport


By MC3 Alan Gragg
U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/
U.S. 4 FleetPubhc."--
Director of Naval Intelligence
Vice Adm. David J. "Jack"
Dorsett visited Naval Station
Mayport Oct. 9 to speak with
Sailors and other intelligence
personnel.
First, Dorsett arrived at
U.S. Naval Forces Southern
Command (NAVSO)/ U.S. 4th
Fleet headquarters to meet with
NAVSO/4th Fleet Commander
Rear Adm. Joseph D. Kernan,
and speak to a group of
Mayport's intelligence person-
nel about upcoming changes to
the Navy's intelligence commu-
nity.
Dorsett told the group of per-
sonnel from various ships and
commands based at Mayport
of his plans to increase educa-
tion opportunities for enlisted
Sailors and officers in intelli-
gence job fields.
"We are getting ready to go
through some fundamental
changes in the Navy that will


alter (our Intel) relationships,"
said Dorsett. "One of my priori-
ties at Naval Intelligence is to
increase the educational oppor-
tunities for our Sailors... I want
depth of understanding in our
profession."
After visiting NAVSO/4th
Fleet, Dorsett toured USS
Farragut (DDG 99), an Arleigh
Burke-Class Guided Missile
Destroyer which returned
to Mayport from its maiden
deployment Oct. 5. Dorsett ate
lunch with Farragut's wardroom
members, and briefly discussed
the Navy's Intel changes and
congratulated them on a suc-
cessful deployment.
The Director of Intelligence
is head of the Office of Naval
Intelligence (ONI), headquar-
tered at the National Maritime
Intelligence Center in Suitland,
Md.
Farragut returned from a
deployment conducting TSC
missions, and counter-illicit
trafficking operations in the
U.S. Southern Command


(SOUTHCOM) area of focus,
which encompasses the
Caribbean, Central and South
America, and surrounding
waters. During the deployment,
Farragut was under the opera-
tional control of NAVSO. Once
the ship returned to Mayport,
U.S. 2nd Fleet took over opera-
tional control.
NAVSO, the Naval
Component Command of
SOUTHCOM, directs U.S.
Naval Forces operating in the
Caribbean, Central and South
American regions and interacts
with partner nation navies with-
in the maritime environment.
Various operations include
counter-illicit trafficking,
Theater Security Cooperation,
Humanitarian Assistance and
Disaster Relief, military-to-mil-
itary interaction and bilateral
and multinational training.
Fourth Fleet is the num-
bered fleet assigned to NAVSO,
exercising operational con-
trol of assigned forces in the
SOUTHCOM area of focus.

Many of the issues discussed

the issue of corrosion.
"If I had to pick a sin-

classes, it's corrosion," said
McManamon. "We have to
get the identification and fixes
in place for all classes, in
order to get to 313 ships in the

According to the

Commander of the PCRON,
Cmdr. Steve Coughlin, that's
one of the great benefits of the
face-to-face conference format
used by the SWE. He says he
learns lessons and solutions to
common problems from the
other ship classes.
"It's about the big picture,"
he said. "I learned things
about FFGs that I had no idea
they were doing. The engi-
neering control problems that
they're having are very similar
to some issues with our main
propulsion diesel engines.
For me, right now, it's not as
important as my other issues.
But I can appreciate their
challenges, and if I start see-
ing similar issues on my ships,
I'm going to consult these
guys and find out what path
they went down. So there's a
lot of potential for future work
getting done on my ships just
by the work being done by
these other guys."
The SWE's Chief Readiness
Officer Rear Adm. Kevin

Quinn says surface Sailors
have strong advocates in the
CLASSRON commanders.
"They get up in front of a
crowded room and explain
issues with confidence to the
program managers, senior
civilians and flag officers,"
said Quinn. "They go over
their issues the fleet's issues
-- with an outstanding level of
technical knowledge and com-
petence backed up by good
data. They explain everything
in a high level of detail.
"The credibility they've
built up here inside the belt-
way, and certainly out in the
fleet, makes them powerful,
impact players. It struck me as
clear as a bell as I was watch-
ing these guys that they're the
best and they're really mak-
ing a difference. I'm proud
of what they've done in their
squadrons and I'm proud of
what they did here, all of it
designed to improve warfight-
ing readiness!"

Robert G.


Bradley Welcomed By Philadelphia


By Ensign Joshua Cowart
USS Robert G.5_, PAO
During the afternoon of Aug.
29, the city of Philadelphia
was treated to the sight of the
USS Robert G. Bradley (FFG
49) steaming up the Delaware
River to the piers at Penn's
Landing in the heart of historic
Philadelphia.
RGB pulled into Philadelphia
at the conclusion of the Joint
Warrior Group Sail, a multi-ship
exercise off the Virginia Capes.
After a week of intensive com-
bat systems and seamanship
evolutions, RGB was ready for
a little relaxation and the city of
Philadelphia gave the Sailors an
all-American welcome.
As RGB completed the seven-
hour sea and anchor detail up
the Delaware Bay and Delaware
River to Philadelphia, the ship
rendered honors to two historic


forts and two warships. The
crew first rendered honors to
Fort Delaware, a Civil War
fort and the re-enactors at Fort
Delaware returned with a salut-
ing battery from a period mor-
tar. Further up the Delaware,
the crew rendered honors to
Fort Mifflin, a Revolutionary
War fort, and RGB's salute was
returned by the firing of period
muskets and period cannons.
On the final leg of the transit,
RGB was preceded into port by
a Philadelphia fireboat, which
sprayed streams of water from
her four firefighting cannons.
RGB also had the honor of
saluting the decommissioned
warships ex-USS New Jersey
(BB 62) and ex-USS Olympia
(C 6). Ex-New Jersey is a bat-
tleship and a veteran of the
Korean, Vietnam, and first Gulf
War. Ex-Olympia is a cruiser


from the Spanish-American War
era that served as Commodore
Dewey's flagship at the battle
of Manila Bay in which no
American lives were lost.
On the night of RGB's arriv-
al, Mike Driscoll, a local busi-
ness-owner, in conjunction with
the Philadelphia Navy League,
hosted an all inclusive reception
at his bar and grill, Finnigan's
Wake, at no expense to the
Sailors of RGB. The majority
of the crew, officer and enlisted,
gathered at the local watering
hole for a night of fun and food.
Philadelphia lived up to
being the "City of Brotherly
Love" during RGB's four
days at Penn's Landing. The
"Bradleymen" enjoyed many
different attractions, beginning
with a complimentary double-
decker bus tour of the city, cour-
tesy of the U.S. Navy League of


Philadelphia. The tour covered
the historic district, the leg-
endary steps of Rocky Balboa
fame, the Franklin Center, and
concluded after three hours at
the famed Geno's Steaks, where
the Philly Cheese Steaks were
again provided courtesy of the
Navy League.
That same evening a reception
was hosted on the flight deck of
Robert G. Bradley. As the sun
set, "Bradleymen" and guests
were treated to jazz music from
a local band, while enjoying a
few light snacks. Among the
guests were the President of
the local Navy League Chapter,
two City Council members,
school Superintendents, the
Commanding Officer of Naval
Recruiting District Philadelphia,
and two retired Navy SEALs,
one of whom retired in 1968
after thirty years of honorable


naval service. Additionally,
several veteran's and mem-
bers of the local Navy League
Chapter were present, as well
as a Pearl Harbor survivor.
RGB's Commanding Officer,
Commander Clint Carroll, was
presented with a 40mm shell
casing, fired from the saluting
battery of the ex-New Jersey, by
the members of the battleship's
preservation society.
For three days RGB opened
its decks to the citizens of
Philadelphia. Each day the
lines of tourists extended far
down the pier as the people
of Philadelphia came out to
see what life on a warship is
all about. Included among the
tourists were reporters from
the Philadelphia Channel 6 and
Channel 69 news teams, and
The Bulletin, a local family
newspaper. The Bulletin ran an


article that highlighted RGB's
visit to Philadelphia and her
tours.
The crew of RGB was wel-
comed with open arms. The
citizens of Philadelphia were
supportive and caring of the
crew. It was a moving sight
to have Sailors cheered as
they walked down the road. It
was common for complimen-
tary drinks to be purchased and
meals provided at no cost to the
Sailors. "Bradleymen" accepted
enough handshakes, pats on the
backs, and thanks of the citizens
to last a lifetime. The support
provided was amazing and it
was a wonderful experience for
the crew of Robert G. Bradley
to share with the citizens of
Philadelphia.


RGB Embarks On Joint


Warrior Group Sail


By Ensign Rachel Florea
USSRobert G. ,,
USS Robert G. Bradley (FFG 49) participated
in a multi-ship exercise in preparation for opera-
tions with NATO Allies during Aug. 22-29.
This exercise, in preparation for Joint Warrior,
marked a fast-paced, intensive training week
for RGB. Although frigates often operate inde-
pendently, RGB demonstrated its strengths and
ability to operate within a challenging multi-ship
environment.
The group sail began during the four-hour sea
and anchor detail, with RGB having to defend
herself from several simulated small craft attacks,
allowing Bradleymen to hone skills necessary
for defense against small and highly maneuver-
able vessels, while still maintaining the necessary
situational awareness to operate the ship in a
restricted channel.
RGB also had the opportunity to participate
in a multi-ship, gunnery exercise with two other
vessels. Each ship fired more than fifty rounds
from their main guns. RGB's fire control crew
manning the 76mm gun performed flawlessly.
On the last day of the event, the group con-
ducted a large Anti-Submarine Warfare exercise
with USS Mitscher (DDG 57) and USS Samuel
B. Roberts (FFG 58). RGB spearheaded the
event, firing a Recoverable Exercise Torpedo
(REXTORP) at a simulated submarine. After a
successful firing, the recovery crew was quickly
deployed to monitor and recover the torpedo.


During the event RGB also demonstrated the
ability to perform an Underway Replenishment
(UNREP).
USS Robert G. Bradley (FFG 49) finished the
Joint Warrior group sail strong and was recog-
nized by Commander Destroyer Squadron 24
(COMDESRON 24) for superior performance.
"I had the opportunity of observing Robert G.
Bradley, a ship at the top of its game and repre-
senting Mayport well," said Commodore John
Kersh. "She executed a series of complex, multi-
platform events (both ship and helo) and made it
look easy; everything from firing and recovering
torpedoes to divisional tactics (DIVTACS) and
gun-shoots. It was most enjoyable to be under-
way on such a fine ship."
The exercise was challenging and rewarding.
Ensign John Buss put it best by saying "it was
probably the busiest week ever, but you learned
so much that it was worth every moment."
Following its performance during Joint Warrior
group sail, RGB finished all requirements for
work-up training and has been certified as an
"Independent Unit Ready for Tasking" allowing
RGB to be called upon to perform operations in
support of national tasking and is fully deploy-
ment ready.
Upon completion of the Joint Warrior group
sail, RGB continued up the coast for a port visit
in Philadelphia.


RGB Nominated For Ney Award

for Food Service Excellence


By CSCS John Palermo
USS Robert G. .,,,i .
USS Robert G. Bradley
(FFG 49) is one of two final-
ists in the small afloat category
for the Captain Edward F. Ney
Memorial Award.
The Ney awards were
established in 1958 by the
Secretary of the Navy and the
International Food Service
Executives Association (IFSEA)
to improve and recognize qual-
ity food service in the Navy.
IFSEA is a food service
industry trade association whose
members include executive
chefs, operators, dietitians, con-
sultants, managers and owners
of catering firms, restaurants,
hotels and clubs.
The Ney award recognizes
overall food service excellence
by evaluating key areas in cus-
tomer service, restaurant style
environment, cleanliness and
management.
To compete for the Ney award
(afloat category), the command
must score well on the sup-
ply management certification.
(SMC). The SMC team from
Afloat Training Group (ATG)
recommends the commands that


score well. The Commander,
Naval Supply and the Navy
Food Management team deter-
mine who will compete for the
award.
The inspectors review admin-
istration, records, food service
management system, menu


planning and food production,
customer satisfaction, training,
sanitation, safety, inventory,
equipment and nutrition.
The dedicated Food Service
Team on RGB "Thinks Ney
Every Day!" and eagerly antici-
pates the results for 2008.

USS Roosevelt Sailors


Earn Citizenship


By Ensign Michele Rollins
and Ensign Kyle Miller
USS Roosevelt
Four USS Roosevelt Sailors
took one of the most important
steps of their lives recently, as
CS2 Juan Otero, GSM2 Petrina
Coleman, EMFN Sudesh
Banskota and EMFN Ousman
Nyassi became United States
citizens in the months prior to
Roosevelt's deployment.
The ceremony, including an
oath of citizenship, completed
a long process for each of these
Sailors, who have lived in the
United States for several years.
Otero moved to Brooklyn,
N.Y. from Mexico when he
was 4 or 5 with his family. His
father and sisters have since
become U.S. citizens also. The
22-year-old Otero was formerly
unable to pick an aviation rate
or apply for an officer program
because he was not a U.S. citi-
zen. Now, as a U.S. citizen,
he is exploring different rates
or the Seaman-to-Admiral pro-
gram as he continues his Navy
career.
Coleman moved to the New
Jersey from Jamaica in 1988
with her mother and sister. Her
citizenship ceremony was a
small affair, scheduled prior to
deployment, and included just
one other new citizen.
Coleman's sister was there


to support her, and Coleman is
excited about the new opportu-
nities and meaning behind her
citizenship. While she missed
the deadline for voting in the
upcoming election, she looks
forward to future opportunities
to exercise her new rights as an
American citizen.
For Banskota, he learned
about the Navy's citizenship
assistance when he reported to
Great Lakes and completed the
paperwork in Jacksonville upon
reporting to Roosevelt.
Originally from Nepal, He
moved to the US at age 13 with
his mother. When he joined the
Navy, Banskota was unable to
select Mass Communications
Specialist as a rate because he
was not an American citizen.
Now, many more opportunities
are open to him through his citi-
zenship.
Nyassi moved to New York
from Gambia in 2003, leaving
his family at home in Africa in
search of new opportunities.
He joined the Navy in 2006
and became a citizen in June of
this year, waiting the minimum
required time of five years after
he first arrived.
Now that he is a citizen, his
brother may be able to come to
the United States also. These
four Sailors are happy to have
reached this accomplishment, as


it opens doors for them both in
the Navy and in everyday life.
To gain citizenship, each
had be a legal resident for five
years and pass a test consist-
ing of ten questions and reading
and writing in English. Nyassi
became a citizen on June 17 at
Florida Community College of
Jacksonville with more than 200
others.
Less than a month later, Otero
and Banskota recited the oath
of citizenship on at FCCJ on
July 8 along with about 150
others. After the oath of citi-
zenship ceremony, both Otero
and Banskota then quickly flew
out to join ROOSVELT for the
remainder of the COMPTUEX
and JTFEX exercises in prepa-
ration for the ship's upcoming
deployment. GSM2 Coleman
became a citizen in a small cer-
emony in Tampa on Aug. 21 just
seven days before Roosevelt
deployed.
Roosevelt is extremely proud
of these four Sailors and their
enduring contributions and
commitment to our country.
These important steps they have
taken have opened new doors
for each of them and allowed
them opportunities they did not
have in the past.

USS Roosevelt Visits Neum


By Ensign Sophia Fischer
USSRoosevelt PAO
USS Roosevelt (DDG 80)
recently visited Neum, Bosnia
during a port visit.
A challenging sea and anchor
detail led to a beautiful cove
to drop anchor on Sept. 15.
Some Roosevelt Sailors took
off on the liberty launch boats
to explore the town while many
others stayed behind to prepare
for two formal receptions to be
hosted by Roosevelt's crew and
Commanding Officer, Cmdr.
Stanley 0 Keeve.
On Sept. 17, Roosevelt wel-
comed the President of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, President
Haris Silajdzic as well as the
Chief of Staff Miladin Milojcic,
Minister of Defense, Selmo
Cikotic and finally the United
States Ambassador to Bosnia
the Honorable Charles L.
English. Multiple associates
joined as well as members of
the local media.
The guests were offered tours


of the ship by the commanding
officer and Executive Officer,
Lt. Cmdr. Scott Harvey. The
guests said they were thrilled
to visit the bridge, forecastle
and central control station. The
tour concluded on the flight
deck with the playing of both
the Bosnia and United States
National Anthem followed
by remarks from Keeve, the
Ambassador and the president.
An interpreter translated so
all guests could enjoy the com-
mentary. All guests were then
escorted to the officer ward-
room to share finger foods
and refreshments. The presi-
dent took a keen interest in the
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt
(Roosevelt's namesake) memo-
rabilia on display throughout
the room.
The evening concluded when
the president politely asked the
CO with a smile, "Captain, I
request your permission to go
ashore."
The following afternoon

Roosevelt hosted more than 100
guests for a less formal gath-
ering. The U.S. ambassador
was again present, as well as
civilian and military representa-
tives from various other embas-
sies including the Ukrainian,
Russian, Chinese and British
embassies. Junior officers wel-
comed the group by providing
tours. The guests were quite
eager to learn and asked lots
of questions, ranging from
crew life, to weapons capabili-
ties, to fuel consumption rates.
The tours again concluded
on the flight deck where the
Ambassador and Keeve spoke.
Both exchanged expressions
of gratitude for Roosevelt's
visit to Neum. All guests then
enjoyed a delicious assortment
of food and beverages. It was
a pleasure for all involved and
an honor to meet such impor-
tant figures in both the govern-
ment and military of our allied
nations.

Bldg. 1960.
The new classroom has a
maximum capacity of eight
infants and welcomes ages
six weeks until one year of
age. Two full-time Children
and Youth Programs (CYP)
Professionals, Emily Santos
and Carmen Colon, care for the
eight infants Monday through
Friday in the new classroom.
With the addition of the new
infant room, MWR Mayport
now cares for a total of 32
infants with 16 at the on base
Child Development Center and
16 at the off base facility.
"We are very excited about
this new classroom," said Gloria
Kivipelto, Mayport's Training
and Curriculum Specialist.
"Everything in the class is new,
including high chairs that are


lower to the ground allowing
the care provider to sit and
make eye-to-eye contact when
feeding."
The classroom also provides
a variety of books and toys that
encourage development, active
play and exploration. Along
with books and toys, the Child
Development Center uses Baby
Signs where simple sign lan-
guage is utilized for communi-
cation development. Infants are
also provided daily opportuni-
ties for outdoor play. A play-
ground is located just outside of
the infant classroom and is spe-
cifically designed for children
under one year of age.
The Child Development
Programs at Naval Station
Mayport are accredited by the
National Association for the
Education of Young Children
(NAEYC). For more informa-
tion about Mayport's Child
Development Centers, call 247-
7740.

gations of citizenship. However,
it is equally important that all
Armed Forces and Department
of Defense (DoD) personnel
understand what they can and
cannot do in regard to political
activities.
Department of Defense main-
tains a long-standing policy
that DoD personnel acting in
their official capacity may not
engage in activities that associ-
ated the DoD with any partisan
political campaign or election,
candidate, cause or issue.
Members of the Armed
Forces may:
*Register, vote and express
a personal opinion on political
candidates and issues, but not


as an official representative of
the Armed Forces. However, all
personnel, especially in leader-
ship positions, should be mind-
ful of such discussions in the
federal workplace;
*Promote and encourage oth-
ers to exercise their voting fran-
chise, if such promotion does
not constitute use of their offi-
cial authority or influence to
interfere with the outcome of
any election;
*Sign a petition for legisla-
tive action or petition to place a
candidate's name on an official
ballot, if the signing does not
require the member to engage
in partisan political activity;
*Display a political bumper
sticker on the member's pri-
vately owned vehicle (POV).
Regulations state members may
place one sticker on a POV,
but not an oversized banner or
flags. Members in leadership
positions who have assigned


parking spaces should be sensi-
tive to such activity since it may
create an appearance of unlaw-
ful influence; and
*Attend partisan and nonparti-
san political fundraising activi-
ties as a spectator when not in
uniform and no appearance of
official sponsorship can reason-
ably be drawn.
Members of the Armed
Forces shall not:
*Use official authority or
influence to interfere with an
election, affect the outcome of
an election, solicit votes for a
candidate or solicit political
contributions;
*Serve in any official capacity
with a partisan political club or
be listed as a sponsor of a parti-
san political club;
*Speak before a partisan polit-
ical gathering that promotes a
partisan political party, candi-
date or cause;
*Display a large political


sign, banner or poster (as distin-
guished from a bumper stickerO
on a private vehicle; and
*Display a partisan political
sign, poster, banner or similar
device visible to the public at
one's residence on a military
installation, even if that resi-
dence is part of a privatized
housing development.
Civilian federal employees
may:
*Participate in political orga-
nizations by being members of
a political party, serving as offi-
cers of a political party, attend
and participate in political con-
ventions and serve as delegates
to a political party convention;
*Display a political sign,
sticker, button or similar mate-
rial (but not while on duty, in a
government office or building,
or using a government vehicle);
canvass for votes; endorse or
oppose a candidate in political
advertisements and manage a


political campaign;
*Make financial political con-
tributions, attend, address or be
a featured guest at a political
fundraiser, solicit or receive
uncompensated volunteer ser-
vices and organize a political
fundraiser hosted or sponsored
by others.
Civilian federal employees
shall not:
*Use their official titles while
participating in a permitted
political activity, use authority
to coerce anyone into participat-
ing in a political activity, solicit
or receive uncompensated vol-
unteer services from a subor-
dinate or solicit or discourage
the participation in a political
activity of anyone with official
matters before DoD;
*Solicit or receive political
contributions, allow the use of
their official titles in relation
with political fundraising, or
host or sponsor a political fund-


raiser;
*Run for partisan political
office (except as Independent
candidates in certain local elec-
tions); and
*Participate in a permitted
political activity while on duty,
while in a government office or
building, or while using a gov-
ernment vehicle.
Department of Defense per-
sonnel must forward all inqui-
ries from political campaign
organizations to a public affairs
officer (PAO) for awareness and
appropriate action. In response
to specific inquiries, PAOs will
only provide information that is
available to the general public.

NMFC Norfolk Watch Team Helps Southeast


Region Set Battle Rhythm For Hurricane Season


By Mary Anne Broderick
Tubman
CNRSE Pubhlic.
Virtually all of the 20 instal-
lations of Commander, Navy
Region Southeast (CNRSE)
have felt the impact of the 2008
hurricane season. Members of
the Crisis Action Team in the
region's headquarters at Naval
Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville,
Fla., were joined in telephone
conference calls by CNRSE
Installation Commanding
Officers (ICOs) to listen to
weather briefs provided by the
Naval Maritime Forecast Center
(NMFC) in Norfolk, Va. During
major storms such as Fay,
Gustav, and Ike, NMFC person-
nel prepared forecast informa-
tion that shaped readiness deci-
sions at CNRSE installations
from the Caribbean to the Texas
coast.
With 65 active duty and
civilian personnel, NMFC
delivered as many as three
briefs per day detailing severe
weather forecasts and ensuring
CNRSE stayed one step ahead
of approaching storms. Their
expertise and attention to detail
enabled installation command-
ing officers and emergency
managers to make informed
decisions regarding airfield
activities, evacuations, and ulti-
mately, for the safe return to
normal operations.
"Many people were involved
in the preparation of briefs,"
said Lt. Cmdr. Robert Cosby of
NMFC. "For tropical warnings,
one or two junior Aerographer's
mates, a seasoned AG2 or AG1
serving as Hurricane Duty
Officer (HDO), the Chief of the
Watch, and the Command Duty
Officer were part of the pro-
cess."
For each hurricane brief,
NMFC Norfolk produced fore-
cast graphics, text warnings,
destructive winds forecasts,
and detailed potential impacts
used by CNRSE and other fleet
customers. The briefer gath-
ered data, correlated informa-
tion from other sources, such as
the National Hurricane Center
(NHC), and compiled it into the

brief. The briefer discussed the
storm forecast with the watch
team and the NMFC Hurricane
Specialist at the NHC. A thor-
ough review of all model guid-
ance, weather observations, and
other data was conducted to
produce a good brief.
"Tropical systems are notori-
ously difficult to forecast, espe-
cially their intensity and long-
range track," Cosby said. "A
shift in a forecast direction of
50 miles or less can make a dra-
matic difference in the condi-
tions at a particular installation,
and will subsequently drive very
challenging decisions."
These decisions, which
CNRSE installations made
numerous times during this
hurricane season, included pre-
positioning of response teams


near the potential areas of land-
fall, but out of harm's way, in
order to be on-site to render
assistance once return to an area
was deemed safe. Other deci-
sions included calling sailors
and civilian employees to mus-
ter, and providing direction on
when to safely secure installa-
tion assets.
Knowledge of a storm's
anticipated arrival time allowed
for evacuation of person-
nel and dependents to safe
havens, a decision which was
made twice this year by NAS
Key West. In cooperation with
the Naval Aviation Forecast
Center, NMFC storm data also
affected the decision to sortie
and/or hangar aircraft at NAS
Jacksonville in the days before
Tropical Storm Fay.


It was also used in the call to
sortie ships from Naval Station
(NS) Mayport, Fla., and to nest
minesweepers at NS Ingleside,
Texas.
Weather forecasts helped
installations determine when
recovery and assistance opera-
tions could safely begin. These


forecasts allowed New Orleans
and Texas installations to plan
and execute safe returns to nor-
mal operations and provide sup-
port to local communities dev-
astated by hurricanes Gustav
and Ike.
"The NMFC forecasters
were invaluable in providing
timely and thoughtful inputs,
and became an integral part of
the development of our crisis
response course of action," said
Capt. Bryan Cuny, CNRSE
Operations Officer and Battle
Watch Captain.
The recommendations from
NMFC helped CNRSE instal-
lations determine when to set
Conditions of Readiness (COR),
which ensured the protection of
people and property in advance
of the storm.
"Above the quality of their
inputs was the responsiveness
of the NMFC personnel to the
needs of the individual ICOs,
who had to make the tough calls
in so many areas," said CNRSE
Executive Director Bruce B.
Cwalina.
When the Meteorology and
Oceanography community reor-
ganized in 2004, its plan was
to deliver tropical support to
installations and regions, includ-
ing weather advisories, from a
center that was not physically
located on or near their area.
NMFC Norfolk took advantage
of opportunities to make a dif-
ference in supporting installa-
tions and fleet commands.
"Installations had valid con-
cerns about how they would
receive weather support from
people who weren't actually
there," said Cosby. "We had to


build confidence that we could
tailor our services to their spe-
cific needs, and do our best
from a standoff location."
Site visits by NMFC leaders
in 2007 to installations includ-
ing NAS Key West, Fla., NS
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and
NAS Corpus Christi, Texas,
provided insight into specific
concerns and helped NMFC
focus its strategies.
"I'd like to think that we have
answered the skeptics in a very
good way," Cosby added.
With NMFC's help, CNRSE
installations have protected per-
sonnel and assets. NMFC will
continue to provide guidance
that will support preparation,
prevention, and mitigation dur-
ing a hurricane season.
"Our success is the result of
more than two years of collabo-
ration with NMFC to develop
protocol, installation require-
ments, and a battle rhythm that
was constructed around their
products," Cuny said. "They
responded every time critical
decision points approached, and
sustained this optempo through-
out every weather event."
"Time and time again, NMFC
has provided quality inputs in
spite of unpredictable condi-
tions that often make tropical
storm forecasting problematic,"
said Cwalina. "I couldn't be
prouder to work with them and
to have their expert support dur-
ing these most critical times."

USFSPA allows, but does not
require, state courts to award
non-disability retirement pay to
a former spouse in a divorce.
How much can be awarded
varies by state. It is important
to understand that an award
of retirement pay to a former
spouse as property division is
not the same as an award of
retirement pay as alimony or
another type of support pay-
ment. This means that receipt
of the pay as a property inter-
est would not end upon the for-
mer spouse's later remarriage.
Moreover, there are specific

Eligible families of activated
National Guard and Reserve
members will continue to save
up to $300 in annual deduct-

Eligible family members of
Guard and Reserve personnel
activated for more than 30 days
under federal orders in support
of a contingency operation are
made eligible for TRICARE

which have annual deductibles.
While they may be eligible to

Former spouses may be

Gen. Elder Granger. "We simply
want to make sure our Guard
and Reserve families know this
is a permanent benefit now that
final federal regulation has been
published."
Guard or Reserve families
often meet annual deduct-
ibles under their commercial
plans before they get acti-
vated. Waiving the TRICARE
Standard and Extra deductibles
means eligible families will not
have to pay additional deduct-
ibles under TRICARE. The
annual deductible for Standard
and Extra is $300 for families.
"National Guard and Reserve
members and their families
make huge sacrifices to protect
our freedom. We don't want to
see them sacrifice even more by
paying deductibles twice in one
year," Granger said.
The published regulation also
contains provisions that make
it easier for Reserve and Guard
members to continue to see their
family physicians by potentially
increasing the amount that can
be paid to out-of-network health
care providers.

ing, heat, locking doors, drink-
able water, electricity and other
basic necessities.
Violations often occur after
the tenant has taken possession.
The landlord should be notified
and given a reasonable time to
fix the problem. "Reasonable"


t Pay, Div
of disposable pay that can be
awarded to a former spouse as
marital property, paid directly
through automatic deductions.
This does not include alimony
and child support, as discussed
below. Furthermore, this does
not prevent the state court from
awarding more than 50% of the
disposable pay to the former
spouse as marital property. This
only means that DFAS will not
honor direct payment to a for-
mer spouse in excess of 50% of
the disposable pay for division
of marital property.
Second, DFAS will only make
direct payment when the for-
mer spouse satisfies the 10 year
rule. Under the 10 year rule,
the couple must have been mar-
ried for at least 10 years which
overlapped at least 10 years
of creditable military service.
Note that this is a DFAS policy
which does not limit state courts
when making an award deter-
mination of disposable pay as
marital property. The service-
member remains responsible for
ensuring that the former spouse
receives all the awarded portion
of disposable pay. Failure to
adhere to the state court award
could result in various civil
remedies and even jail time.
The former spouse which
receives direct payment also
faces the tax liability of the
income. DFAS issues two 1099
forms; each former spouse pays
taxes on his or her own share.

Property Distribution: Court
Order Rule
If the state court order is silent
about division of retirement
pay, then the entire amount is
awarded to the servicemember.
However, the former spouse can
later ask the court to revisit the
divorce decree to address the
issue of dividing military retire-
ment pay if the divorce decree
does not specifically say that
the claim is waived nor that no
portion of it is awarded.
Alimony and Child Support
Awarding non-disability
retirement pay for alimony and
child support is completely dif-
ferent than when dividing it as
marital property.
First, there is no 10 year rule.
Even if the servicemember

two days. Going without heat
for several weeks is another
story. Whatever the reason-
able time period may be, if the
problem is not fixed, a tenant
has several options. To evalu-
ate your options, speak with an
attorney as early into the pro-
cess as possible.
Another possible trigger for
constructive eviction is a vio-
lation of the doctrine of quiet
enjoyment. The right to quiet
enjoyment is the right not to be
unreasonably disturbed in your
apartment or house. This right
may also apply to common
areas such as sidewalks, back-
yards and pools. If your land-
lord is constantly entering your


ting other tenants to play loud
music or have wild, noisy par-
ties in the evening hours, then
the landlord may have violated
the doctrine of quiet enjoyment.
If the landlord does not fix the
problem after receiving notice,
then this too can trigger a con-
structive eviction.
Servicemembers, as a mobile
group of people, are likely to
face property leasing issues.
Most of the time, problems can
be worked out by communicat-
ing the problem to the landlord.
Make sure the communications
are documented in letters or
emails. If the problems per-
sist and your landlord refuses
to remedy the situation, legal

orce: What Can You Lose?


retired before marrying the for-
mer spouse or if they were mar-
ried less than ten years, the state
court can order direct payment
of non-disability retirement pay
to the former spouse to satis-
fy alimony and child support
awards.
Second, the direct payment
maximum percentage cap
increases to 65% when alimony
and child support are includ-
ed. Note that disposable retire-
ment pay is distributed by direct
payment on a first come, first
served basis where the service-
member has been divorced more
than one time.
State Laws Regarding
Division of Military Retirement
Pay
All 50 states have statutes,


case law or both permitting the
division of military retirement
pay in a divorce. Only Puerto
Rico classifies military retire-
ment pay as separate property
of the servicemember and not
part of the marital assets, deem-
ing it not divisible in divorce
proceedings. Each state has its
own rules regarding alimony,
child support and property dis-
tribution which the parties must
follow.

relied upon as legal advice nor

ing an attorney. If you need
