Leadership from the Naval
Air Systems Command
(NAVAIR) toured facilities at
Naval Station Mayport on Jan.
27 as part of the "Boots on the
Ground" (BOG) project.
Officers from the Navy and
Marine Corps as well as a few
Civilians started the program by
attending an initial brief in the
Afloat Training Group confer-
ence room, before beginning the
tour portion of the program.
"The Boots on the Ground
program is a way to get our
leadership out to where our
Sailors are working, see the
great job they are doing and
what tools we can give them
to make their job easier," said
Rear Adm. William Shannon, a
program director at NAVAIR.
The program is not new to
NS Mayport and its focus is
directed at bringing the leader-
ship into contact with the work
Sailors are doing every day.
"The program is great, it

Sailors and gives them a better
perspective on what is going on
in the fleet," said Commander


Doug Thompson, Commanding
Officer of HSL-46.
With each visit to the base,


the programs leadership has
been pleased with what they
have seen.


"This is the third time I have
been to Mayport with this pro-
gram, and every time I am
impressed with the improve-
ments our Sailors are making,"
said Shannon.
The tour included stops
at Fleet Readiness Center
Southeast (FRCSE), which
employs 175 Sailors. During
FY 2008 FRCSE increased
work production and completed
151,931 man hours of main-
tenance actions, 21,118 fewer
hours that was needed to com-
plete a similar work load in FY
2007.
The group also toured Fleet
and Industrial Supply Center
(FISC) Mayport. FISC is com-
prised of 65 military and civil-
ian personnel. The center is
responsible for approximately
401 million dollars of repair
parts.
BOG is an ongoing program
designed to give leadership
another cross-functional tool
to use and optimize available
resources.

USSKlakring Public. ,
With a crisp exchange of
salutes and the traditional "I
relieve you, Sir!" Cmdr. Scott
M. Smith relieved Cmdr. Ian
R. Pollitt as Klakring's 15th
commanding officer in cer-
emonies held Jan. 23 at NS
Mayport. Commodore Glenn
Zeiders, Commander, Destroyer
Squadron 14 served as the cere-
mony's guest speaker.
In the months ahead, Klakring
will serve with Standing NATO
Maritime Group-1 (SNMG-1)
for forward-deployed opera-
tions throughout EUCOM air
of operation. Given Klakring's
ambitious schedule, Smith will
quickly be afforded an opportu-
nity to experience the full range
of leadership opportunities asso-
ciated with command at sea.
Smith joins the ship after a
tour with United States Fleet
Forces Command (USFFC),
where he served as the speech-
writer for the Commander,
Adm. Greenert.
Previous sea tours included


service in USS Donald B. Barry
(FF 1085); USS Cole (DDG
67); USS Stethem (DDG 63),
and USS Ramage (DDG 61)
and COMDESRON 28. C
Smith brings to Klakring a
wealth of tactical and strategic
level experience gained during
eighteen years of naval service,
and is looking forward to the
opportunities that await as com-
manding officer.
Remarking on the change
of command, Smith noted, "I
think this moment is a renewal
- an affirmation that the nation
needs its Navy, and the Navy
needs us."
Pollitt departs Klakring after
a highly successful 18-month
tour. During his tenure, the ship
achieved astounding success as
a forward-deployed asset con-
ducting the counter-narcotics
mission in USSOUTHCOM
AOR.
Klakring interdicted more
than $358 million in illicit
narcotics and apprehended
15 narco-terrorists during this
deployment, which included the


third-largest go-fast cocaine sei-
zure ever recorded.
Following this record-setting
deployment, the ship conduct-
ed six months of sustainment
operations for Commander,
Second Fleet while prepar-
ing for inspection by the Navy
Board of Inspection and Survey
(INSURV). The ship scored
above-average in most facets of


this rigorous assessment, pav-
ing the way for a successful
Selected Restricted Availability
and a compressed post-avail-
ability training cycle.
Most recently, the ship com-
pleted a demanding two month
EUCOM Pulse deployment,
participating in the flagship
Surface Combatant training
event in Western Europe, the


United Kingdom's Joint Warrior
exercise series.
"I can think of no better
way to prepare ships in gener-
al, and Klakring in particular,
for its NATO deployment that
the Joint Warrior event" noted
Pollitt. "In addition to flexing
every facet of the ship's Combat

Homefront in Focus


By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor
February is the 'month of
romance.' A quick look at the
history of Valentine's Day and
St. Valentine reveals a mili-
tary connection. Spouses, get
ready...!
The history of Valentine's
Day is rooted in both Christian
and pagan traditions and has
multiple legends surrounding
this holiday. One legend details
Valentine's Day's military roots.
Roman emperor, Claudius II
decided that single men made
better soldiers than those with
wives and families. As a result
he outlawed marriage for young
men his target segment of
potential soldiers. (Have we not
all heard the old adage, "If the


Navy/Army wanted a sailor/sol-
dier to have a wife it would have
been issued with their sea/duffle
bag."?) Valentine, convinced
of the injustice of the decree,
defied Claudius and performed
secret marriages for young.
When Valentine's actions were
discovered he was put to death
by order of the emperor.
There are other legends sur-
rounding Valentine's Day but
all have romance and marriage
at the 'heart' (no pun intended).
Personally, I think Valentine's
Day is a conspiracy by the card,
candy, jewelry and florists.
When I was single I hated
Valentine's Day. All the gifts
bestowed upon my friends just
fueled my disdain for the hol-
iday. Now that I am married,


well, isn't it amazing how mar-
riage (and life) can change our
perspective? What I regret from
my single days is that I appre-
hend that Valentine's Day isn't
just romance but a celebra-
tion of love; the love of family,
friends, children, (my dog), and
now my husband.
And that brings me to cel-
ebrating Valentine's Day
when our service member is
deployed or on duty on that
'day of romance.' My first
Valentine's Day as a military
spouse was spent apart. Scott
was on a work-up and, would
you believe, would be back two
days after Valentine's Day. Way
to ruin my first Valentine's Day!
I found 'subject matter
experts' (translation: seasoned


spouses and service mem-
bers) for advice on celebrat-
ing our love even though apart.
Jodie Arden, Navy spouse.
Deployment Specialist at FFSC,
Oceana (VA) and veteran of
many holidays apart says,
"Keep your traditions. If you
go out to dinner and a movie,
take a friend and do the same
thing." Patty LeClair, CNRSW
Ombudsman says, "Remember,
every holiday can be recreated.
The 'day' isn't as important as
the 'celebration' of that holi-
day."
Shannon Milder, for-
mer active duty and Site
Manager for FFSC, Murphy
Canyon (CA) relayed her best
Valentine's Day. "I was single
but seeing someone. This gen-


tleman crafted a wonderful let-
ter of what he planned for us for
Valentine's Day when I got back
from deployment. That letter
meant so much to me because
he took time to plan, not only
demonstrated his care but gave
me something to look forward
to through the rest of deploy-
ment."
Cheryl Caldwell, seasoned
spouse and former Ombudsman
encourages us to manage our
expectations and talk to our
spouses. She and Jodie agree
talking in advance will enhance
our ability to celebrate all holi-
days impacted by deployment.
Jill Johnson, military spouse,
Ombudsman, and FRG and
Ombudsman Trainer at FFSC,
Murphy Canyon, adds, "Plan


ahead. Planning for you, your
children and your spouse will
help you manage expectations
and enjoy your celebration."
Tilly Haughen, military
spouse of 36 years wraps it up
with, "Deployment is all the
more reason to celebrate the
love of your spouse. Celebrate
in your way, whether writing a
love letter or sending something
special to each other. It isn't the
price of any gift. It is the love
behind that gift. Celebrate that
love."

By April Phillips
Naval Safety Center Public, -"
When US Airways Flight
1549 crashed into the Hudson
River January 15, people
learned about the dangers of
bird strikes to jet engines for the
first time. The Navy has long
been aware of this danger in
aviation. Bird and other hazards
have cost money and lives.
However, the Navy's Bird-
Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH)
program is helping to create
the awareness needed to reduce
these mishaps and save lives
and assets.
The Naval Safety Center
(NSC) has recorded mishap
information regarding wildlife
strike events with naval aircraft
since 1979 and BASH programs
are inspected as part of NSC's
safety surveys throughout the
fleet.
The BASH program is cur-
rently conducted at the installa-
tion level. Kimball Thompson, a
retired naval aviator who works
in the Aviation Directorate at
NSC, said the Safety Center
is working to help institute a
Navy-wide BASH mitigation
program across the fleet.
When it comes to BASH mis-
haps, bird strikes are most com-
mon, but, said Thompson said
BASH includes a surprising
array of animals.
"It's broader than just birds.
It's anything that could cause
harm to a naval aircraft. In the
runway environment we've
ooo


seen deer strikes. In places like
Key West there's a salt water
crocodile population and occa-
sionally they'll wander up to
the runways to sun themselves,"
he said.
In fact, deer, fox, bats, moose,
coyotes and more have been
reported as BASH hazards.
Reporting animal activity and
identifying remains is key to
reducing strikes. The Navy has
a contract with the Smithsonian
Institute for biological remains
analysis.
If the bird is migratory,
Thompson said researchers will
study its habits and patterns.
That way, aviators can avoid
the location, altitude or time of
day when the birds are active.
If the birds are non-migratory,
the researchers study the air-
field environment and look to
see what is attracting the birds.
In many cases, they can take the
attraction away and encourage
the birds to feed or nest else-
where.
Reporting animal activ-
ity, strikes and near-misses is
an all hands responsibility, and
the information gained from
these reports will go a long
way toward making necessary
changes that reduce the threat
of aircraft strikes with animals -
making aviation safer for pilots
and air crews, as well as the
bird population.

6th Fleet For Sl


By Ensign Peter Goodman
USS Klakring Public.;-
USS Klakring (FFG 42)

month deployment to participate
in Standing NATO Maritime
Group-1.
The crew of approximately
one-hundred and ninety Sailors
and their newly appointed
Commanding Officer, Cmdr.

human performance factors in a

may lie ahead."
Pollitt's next assignment will
be on the staff of Commander,
US Joint Forces Command


Klakring will transit across
the Atlantic where they will
relieve USS Taylor (FFG 50)
as the Second Fleet participat-
ing ship. Upon arrival to Sixth
Fleet, they will begin operations
with ships from several differ-
ent European Navies, includ-
ing the United Kingdom, Spain,
France, and Germany. Their par-
ticipation will include operating
in tactical maritime scenarios,
group maneuvering tactics, as
well as opportunities ashore for
diplomatic engagement.

Electronics Technician 1st Class (Air Warfare)
John R. Hanson was chosen as the HSL-48
Vipers' Sea Sailor of the year for his outstand-
ing work as HSL-48 Detachment Two's (Det 2)
Leading Petty Officer (LPO).
Hanson reported to HSL-48 in Mayport, Fla., in
November 2004, and has served as HSL-48 Det 2
"The Rock Hard Roosters"' LPO since December
2007.
As the Det 2's LPO, Hanson oversaw two
Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation
Center (AUTEC) periods-one in support of
Helicopter Maritime Strike Wing, U.S. Atlantic
Fleet (HSMWINGLANT) training objectives,
and one to support the Submarine Commander's
Course-as well as two separate Week One


Work Up (WOWU) periods onboard USS Taylor
(FFG 50) and Underwood. With only three hours
notice, he helped organize and embark Det 2 for
a Hurricane Evacuation (HURREVAC) aboard
Underwood during Tropical Storm Fay.
Since Oct. 5, 2008, Hanson and The Rock
Hard Roosters have been deployed aboard the
Underwood conducting counter-narcotics opera-
tions in the Eastern Pacific Ocean in concert with
other U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, DEA, and
foreign military assets. Their operations led to
numerous interdictions that netted over five met-
ric tons of illicit contraband as well as the rescue
of 43 migrants stranded at sea.
Underwood and attached HSL-48 Det 2 are
currently in the Eastern Pacific Ocean conduct-
ing counter-illicit trafficking operations for Joint
Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-s) in sup-
port of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command
(NAVSO) missions.
NAVSO, the Navy component command of
U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM),
oversees maritime operations through-
out Latin America, including exercises and
deployments, counter illicit trafficking sup-
port, and theater security cooperation events.
U.S. 4th Fleet is the numbered fleet assigned
to NAVSO exercising operational control of
U.S. Navy units temporally operating in the
SOUTHCOM area of focus, which encompasses
the Caribbean, Central and South America and
surrounding waters.

Base Makeover By Way Of Paint Brush


By Bill Austin
Staff
Hard work and plenty of
sweat has changed the look of
several base locations thanks to
helpful hands of Base Services
Sailors armed with paint and
brush.
The ongoing "beautification
initiative" has not only changed
the landscape of Naval Station
Mayport, but has saved money
in the process according to
Senior Chief Yeoman Demarco
Washington, who leads the hard
working crew.
"This team's diligence and
strong work ethic displayed
during the station's beautifi-
cation initiative to include the
refurbishment of the station's
MWR ITT Center, Bowling
Alley, Navy Federal Credit
Union, Post Office, Command
Counselor Center, Beachside
Community Center and pend-
ing projects such as the Chapel
by the Sea significantly saved
the government in excess of
$100,000 in outside labor
costs," said Washington.
Washington said that pride
and professionalism during this
project has been nothing short
of outstanding.
"I have had the pleasant
opportunity to work closely
with several outstanding young
Sailors during my time in the
Navy; however, I have never
been more pleased to lead
a group of Sailors as I am of
those that are assigned to base
services. Regardless if you are
military, DoD Civilian or a fam-
ily member, you can be proud
of the detail 'No Fun' work
completed by this department.
Their motivation and dedica-
tion to mission accomplish-
ment is admirable and I have
been quite impressed by their
ability to lead from the front


despite most of their 'Limited
Duty' status. I will absolutely
work in any capacity with either
of these Sailors' in the fleet,"
added Washington.
"The change of overall look
of the base is amazing," said
Naval Station Executive Officer,
Cmdr. Mike Watson. "This all
started a couple of months ago
when I noticed a building was
looking 'tired' and I asked if
Base Services could paint it.
Once they started this particular
project, they did it in less than a
week! On their own, they iden-
tified other projects and it was
almost impossible to stop them.
Today they have painted build-
ings, and in addition to beauti-
fying the base, they have saved
the Navy several thousands
of dollars in maintenance and
upkeep costs. I have never wit-
nessed a more motivated group
of Sailors and I am very proud
of them."
"We are currently work-
ing on the base chapel," said
Quartermaster 2nd Class Angel
Rivera, while taking a minute
from his painting duties to talk
about being part of the project.
The words he used to describe
his role on the team came very
easy and with an ear-to-ear
smile.
"This is our base our base and
we take pride in it. It doesn't
matter if we are picking up trash
or painting buildings, we all
take pride in what we do," said
Rivera. "When I drive around
the base and go by a building
we have made to look better, I
always say to myself, we did
that."

Mayport Funeral Team Stands By Committment

Naval Station Mayport's Funeral Honors rifle team gets in some last-minute practices before performing in interment of an active-duty serviceman at the newly opened Jacksonville National Cemetery.


From Staff
Approximately 30 volunteers from
Naval Station Mayport departments
are following the U.S. Navy's com-
mitment to the Sailors to the end.
The volunteers are part of Mayport's
Funeral Honors team.
Recently, the team participated in
the first interment of an active duty
servicemember at the newly-opened
Jacksonville National Cemetery.
Fifteen personnel from the base
participated in the full honors funer-
al, where they acted as pall bear-
ers, provided a rifle team, a bugle
player and flag folder, said Aviation
Boatswain's Mate Handling 2nd
Class (AW/SW) Anthony Pena.
Pena has volunteered with the
team for the past three years. He
said that last quarter, NS Mayport
and the HSMWL-counterpart team
participated in 48 funerals for active
duty and retired service members.
"It's a respect that you pay to
the people that served before you,"
said Pena. "I love doing it. I like to
get involved. Remove my glove and
shake the families' hands and give
my condolences."
Although Pena has been with the
team for an extended period, volun-
teers usually come to the team for a
six month assignment.
To combat the turnaround, the
team meets once a week at the C12
Hangar off Main Road.
The teammembers learn to per-
form their duties, including flag
folding and being part of a rifle
team.
"Every funeral is different," he
said. Every request is different. You
practice and improvise a lot once
you're there."

NAVSO Hosts 2009 Navy Section Chiefs


Representatives From Latin America


By MC2 Alan Gragg
U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/ U.S. 4th
Fleet Public Affairs
Commander, U.S. Naval Forces
Southern Command (NAVSO) and
U.S. 4th Fleet hosted the seventh annu-
al U.S. Military Group (MILGP) Navy
Section Chief Conference Jan 26-30.
Navy section chiefs are U.S. Navy
representatives working with the
MILGP at U.S. Embassies worldwide
to coordinate a variety of maritime
programs within their host country.
This conference involved Navy sec-
tion chiefs from the U.S. Southern
Command (SOUTHCOM) area of
focus (AOF), which encompasses the
Caribbean, Central and South America.
"This conference gives the Navy sec-
tion chiefs and other supporting com-
mands and agencies in the region the
opportunity to meet and discuss their
activities," said Rear Adm. Joseph D.
Kernan, NAVSO and U.S. 4th Fleet
Commander. "It provides a venue for
face-to-face interaction where I can get
candid feedback from the Navy sec-
tion chiefs, who are the expert on their
respective host country, on how to bet-
ter collaborate with our partners in the
region and to align our activates."
The annual Navy Section Chief
conference, which began in 2003, is
designed to inform Navy section chiefs
of theater security cooperation activi-
ties proposed by SOUTHCOM for the
current year.
"This conference definitely helps
strategize and coordinate initiatives
from both U.S. Southern Command
and Naval Forces Southern Command,"
said Cmdr. Terrence Dudley, Navy
Section Chief at the U.S. Military
Liaison Office in Brazil. "I think it's
probably the most instrumental event
that we have throughout the year,
because it coordinates a number of dif-
ferent exercises and training events,
into one calendar.
"This meeting is absolutely critical
in my case, because it allows me to
understand what resources are avail-
able for me to draw from," added
Dudley. "I've actually been introduced

Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command (NAVSO) and U.S. 4th Fleet, Rear Adm. Joseph D. Kernan, hosts a round-table discussion with U.S. Military
Group (MILGP) Navy section chiefs. The discussion took place during the Seventh Annual MILGP Navy Section Chief Conference, serving as a forum for Navy sec-
tion chiefs throughout Latin America to address issues within their respective countries and receive feedback from U.S. Southern Command's Naval component com-
mander The conference is an annual meeting designed to inform and align the Navy section chiefs with the U.S. Global Maritime Strategy and NAVSO goals.


to a number of people who have identi-
fied themselves providing additional
capacities that I wasn't even aware of.
"During the conference, the Navy
section chiefs met with Kernan for a
"round-table" discussion about their
concerns and upcoming issues in their
respective host countries, includ-
ing future training plans, community
relations projects, and other ways to
improve interoperability with their host
countries.
"The fact that the Admiral came and
spent as much time as he has, and gave
us his whole support, is beneficial as


we go back down there and are able to
reach back to NAVSO for help when
we need it, I think that's invaluable,"
said Capt. Glenn Olarte, Chief of the
U.S. Office of Defense Cooperation in
Panama.
The conference promotes the objec-
tives of the U.S. Global Maritime
Strategy and aligns U.S. assets with
those missions.
"I think it's very helpful in clari-
fying goals and objectives and how
NAVSO is trying to reach those goals,
so that we in turn are able to support
what NAVSO is trying to do in our


countries in support of the Maritime
Strategy," said Olarte. "In my country
it's particularly important because of
the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal
continues to be a major strategic water-
way and is important as evidenced by
the yearly and continuing growth of
the PANAMAX exercise, which is,
according to some, the largest naval
exercise in the world."
The remainder of the conference
consisted of various briefs on top-
ics such as Force Protection issues,
SOUTHCOM strategy and policy, the

Southern Partnership Station


Refurbishes School In Colombia


By MC1 Daniel Ball
Southern Partnership Station Public

Sailors from Southern
Partnership Station (SPS)
and members of Colombia's
National Navy and Marines
spent today scraping and
painting a 17-year-old school
house in the La Boquilla area
of Cartagena to prepare it for
classes beginning Monday.
Southern Partnership Station
is an annual deployment of
various specialty platforms to
the U.S. Southern Command
area of focus in the Caribbean
and Latin America. The mis-
sion goal is primarily informa-
tion sharing with navies, coast
guards, and civilian services
throughout the region.
The SPS team arrived at the
kindergarten through second-
ary school and were formally
greeted by dozens of uniformed
school children holding flags
and banners. The dust started
flying as the teams scraped
walls and dusted and swept the
floors. Some workers mixed and
distributed paint while others
prepared the areas to be painted
with tape and floor mats.
"This will give the children
a place that looks better and is
a nicer learning environment,"
said Lt. Charles Egli. "It's nice
to do something that gets me
out with the locals. I'm so used
to going out in a kind of a tour-
ist capacity. It's a great change
to interact and see another part
of the city."
The school shaped up rap-
idly as coats of blue and beige
paint cleaned up and colored
the walls. Small children hand-
ed out cold water and the school
administrators plugged in a
sound system to play music.
"It definitely brings me back
to my childhood and reminds
me of how I grew up and the
places I lived," said Information
Systems Technician 2nd Class
German Rodriquez, from San
Diego. "It makes me really
happy to come here and be able
to help."
Work wrapped up around 2
p.m. and the school was ready

that uses space on navy ships to transport donated goods. Southern Partnership Station is a training
mission to Central America, South America and the Caribbean Basin.


for the next day's classes.
The school rehabilitation
is the second of two commu-
nity relation projects SPS has
accomplished on its first visit to
Colombia. Earlier in the week
SPS delivered over one ton
of Project Handclasp medical
supplies to a nongovernmental


organization that will distribute
the materials in La Boquilla.
Project Handclasp is a Navy
program that uses cargo space
on Navy vessels to transport
donated humanitarian goods to
foreign ports.
Colombia is the fifth stop
for SPS. After Colombia, SPS


is scheduled to visit Panama,
Nicaragua, the Dominican
Republic and Barbados.
The mission is coordinated
through U.S. Naval Forces
Southern Command/U.S. 4th
Fleet (NAVSO/ 4th Fleet) with
partner nations to meet their
specific training requests.

Mayport Plans


For Solid Curtain
From CNRSE
Exercise Solid Curtain 2009 will be conducted on naval
bases and installations throughout the continental United
States from February 23-27, 2009.
Solid Curtain 2009 is not in response to any specific threat
but is a regularly-scheduled exercise. This annual exercise is
designed to enhance the training and readiness of Navy secu-
rity personnel to respond to threats to installations and units.
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to nor-
mal base and station operations, but there may be times when
the exercise causes increased traffic around bases or delays in
base access. Area residents may also see increased security
activity associated with the exercise. In accordance with the
Force Protection Condition, access to the local naval instal-
lations and commands will be limited. Navy installations are
working to minimize the impact to the local community while
conducting a meaningful and realistic exercise. The annual
training conducted as part of Exercise Solid Curtain is an
important part of maintaining security for our forces through
exercising Force Protection Conditions.
Exercise Solid Curtain has been conducted periodically
since 1999 and is not in response to any specific threat. The
annual training conducted as part of Exercise Solid Curtain
is an important part of maintaining security for our forces

The Sullivans' Dons Gold Anchor


-File Photo
USS Philippine Sea spent a week at Naval Station Newport serving
as the school ship for Surface Warfare Officers School.


Philippine Sea


Provides SWOS


Opportunities


By MC1 Edward Flynn
Naval War College Public. ;
The guided-missile cruiser
USS Philippine Sea (CG 58),
wrapped up a weeklong visit to
Naval Station Newport Jan. 30,
after serving as the school ship
for Surface Warfare Officers
School (SWOS).
"It was a great opportunity
for us to showcase our ship and
what we do," said Lt. Jonathan
Wright, training officer aboard
Philippine Sea, who did most
of the behind-the-scenes work
planning for the week both
administratively and logistically.
"We brought the students over
from SWOS, who were com-
prised of ensigns and lieutenant
junior grades, recently qualified
officers of the deck, prospective
commanding officers, executive
officers, and chief engineers,
and gave our crew an oppor-
tunity to show them firsthand
what they should expect and
also inspect when they return to
the fleet."
The SWOS students saw
direct application of concepts
and methods they discussed
in class, toured and inspected
the engineering plant and other
spaces of their choice, received
briefings on each space, what
goes on both underway and
in port, and how that space is
maintained.
Philippine Sea's junior offi-
cers were also provided hands-
on-training at SWOS, using
state-of-the-art simulators and
technology. The crew received
training on bridge watchstand-
ing and advanced navigation
techniques. Several crew mem-
bers navigated a virtual ship
through a number of simulat-
ed hazards in the full-mission
bridge.
"It was good to get back to
SWOS and see what the lat-
est simulators can do," said
Lt. j.g. Guiliana Velucci, nav-
igator aboard Philippine Sea.


"Anytime I can get a chance to
fight the ship tactically without
the physical ramifications while
simultaneously thinking and
stepping outside of my comfort
zone is great. It definitely helps
me become a better officer."
The ship also conducted tours
for Naval War College (NWC)
students and NWC Foundation
members, other Newport naval
commands and state and local
dignitaries.
"This was a tremendous
opportunity to visit a ship and
talk with her highly profession-
al crew," said Air Force Lt. Col.
Tom Buckner, an NWC student.
NWC reciprocated with a tour
at NWC for the ship's officers,
who learned about professional
military education opportunities
for both officers and enlisted
personnel.
U.S. Naval Sea Cadets vis-
iting the ship were impressed
with the crew and the ship's
capabilities. "This was an excit-
ing visit for us," said U.S. Naval
Sea Cadet, Tyler Bedessa. "We
saw firsthand how a ship func-
tions."
For Yeoman 1st Class (SW/
AW) Gracie Hudson, one of the
highlights of the weeklong port
call was participating in a com-
munity service project at Lucy's
Hearth, the Newport County
shelter for homeless women and
their children. "It's always good
to give back," said Hudson. "I
appreciate the opportunity to be
here and help out."
Other Sailors participated
in the first basketball game
between the Naval Academy
Preparatory School midshipmen
candidates and the Philippine
Sea command basketball team.
"It was a great time," said
Electrician's Mate 2nd Class
Christopher Reed, the game
coordinator. "We got a chance
to compete and build camarade-
rie with the future officers who
will one day lead our fleet."


From USS The Sulhlivans
The Sullivans proud tradi-
tion of taking care of each other
and following our motto "We
Stick Together" has earned the
ship the Golden Anchor Award.
Taking care of Sailors and meet-
ing their demands is among the
The Sullivans' top priorities.
It all starts with the Career
Development Board (CDB) and
our quest to meet every enlisted
Sailor's demands and provide
the information they need to
make career intentions.
It is important for every Sailor
to know what rates provide the
best opportunity for them to
succeed and advance in rank.
We provide information such
as Re-enlistment bonuses and
Career Reenlistment Objective
(CREO) group information.
Some Sailors are driven by edu-
cation, others by their choice of
the next duty station.
The board can last up to an
hour per Sailor to find out their
complete professional and per-
sonal goals. The board will not
end until all the questions have
been answered. Junior Sailors
are provided career guidance
and given the tools necessary to
find their optimum career path.
The Career Development
Board is not the whole story,

merely the beginning of an
aggressive program that the
Navy has developed for the
retention of Sailors in the Fleet.
It's a venue, where Sailors
are afforded complete access to
program experts and informa-
tion that they may not ask on
their own.
Sometimes the questions gen-
erated result in a complete reas-


sessment of the direction of a
young Sailor's career path.
But any loss of a highly
trained and motivated Sailor
affects the ship in all areas of
mission accomplishment and
job satisfaction.
Providing professional guid-
ance is the standard, but The
Sullivans takes it a step farther,
providing financial guidance


and educational goals. We are
truly honored that our hard work
and dedication to our Sailors
has paid obvious dividends by
shattering the Navy's require-
ment for re enlistments.
The Retention Excellence
Award honors the senior Sailors
that put in time and effort to
genuinely help junior Sailors
find the right path for success.

Money Matters

Your Personal Emergency

Saving Important To Economy


By Kevin Hansen, A.F.C.
PFM Financial Educator & Coun-
selor
In today's economy, I
can't think of a better time
to establish and maintain an
emergency savings account.
Unlike your general savings
and investments an emergen-
cy savings can come in very
handy in the event of job lost,
auto and home repair, added
medical expense, or other
unforeseen expenses that
would normally be covered by
insurance. So actually, your
emergency savings account is
insurance.
So now you ask, "How
much should I have in an
emergency savings account?"
Well that part is pretty easy
to determine. First add up all
of you monthly normal living
expenses: Food cost (includ-
ing dining out), rent or mort-
gage payment, gasoline, auto
insurance, utilities, cell phone,
day care, entertainment, other
normal spending. Now add
up all your minimum required
monthly credit and loan
account payments. Now total
up all your monthly normal
living expenses and credit and
loan account payments. For
most this total amount repre-
sents where all your money
goes in a given month. To
most so-called financial
experts, this total is referred
to as disposable income. Now
multiply this total amount by
three.
So, in a nut shell, if you
had three month of disposable
income in an emergency sav-
ings account you'd probably
be feeling pretty secure from
just about any financial urgent
situation. For most home own-
ers three months of disposable
income in an emergency sav-
ings account can buy a new
roof for your house! With
three months of disposable


income in an emergency sav-
ings account for a non-home
owner you can replace two
different car engines! With
only half of three months of
disposable income you can
replace all of your kitchen
appliances including your
washer and dryer! For a mili-
tary service member who is
separating from the military
without a retirement pension
and you had three month of
disposable income in an emer-
gency savings account, you
could live for three months
without an income and meet
all your monthly financial
obligations while you are out
there seeking new employ-
ment!
So where do we start? First
we have to establish our finan-
cial goals Where do you
want to be financially in the
next one year, three years, ten
years, and so on? These finan-
cial goals have to be realistic,
timely, and obtainable. To the
nearest dollar, where does all
our money go in a month? If
you don't readily know try
tacking all your spending for
a month. On top of all this you
have to determine and know
the difference between your
needs and wants. Ask your-
self, for example, "Do I need
to go to the mall or do I want
to go to the mall?" Or, "If I
buy this item, how will this
affect my family budget or fit
in my financial goals?" When
think about, establishing an
emergency savings account
and a sound family budget is
no more than six grade math
with an attitude!
For more personal finan-
cial information contact your
command or department
Command Financial Specialist
or contact your Fleet and
Family Support Center at 270-
6600.

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,
come to this class. Participants
learn how anger and judgment
are related, about irrational
beliefs and faulty self-talk, what
"E + R = 0" means, and the
roles of stress and forgiveness
in anger.

Be Your Own Best Valentine With Commissary


By Kay Blakley
DeCA home economist
Although this month's most
notable date is Valentine's Day,
you might have noticed signs,
banners and special events pro-
claiming "Everyday is Mom's
Day" at your local commis-
sary. The brainchild of DeCA
Director and Chief Executive
Officer Phil Sakowitz, the cam-
paign is the commissary's way
of saying, "Thanks for all you
do!" to a patron demographic
that represents 80 percent of
daily commissary shoppers.
"Moms are the heartbeat of
our military communities,"
Sakowitz said. "But, they often
put themselves last on a long
list of family obligations. Let's
see what we can do to put them
first for a change."
As with any organization,
when the boss speaks, employ-
ees listen. So, commissaries
around the world have sprung
into action with special prices
on "pamper me" type prod-
ucts with demos on how to use
them, samplings of indulgent,
but healthy treats like choco-
late-dipped strawberries, give-
aways of pretty posies to lend a
touch of spring to your window-
sill, even in the dead of winter,
and the opportunity to enter a
sweepstakes for an all-expense-
paid trip to the spa. Activities
vary from store to store, so
watch for special events planned
at your commissary location.
My contribution to the cam-
paign is to come up with a few
"Make it Easy on Mom" reci-
pes, and the one that follows
fills the bill perfectly. It features
only two ingredients high-
quality chocolate (a require-
ment for Valentine's Day) and
pomegranate seeds. If you've
never used fresh pomegranates
before, you're in for a treat.
These gracefully shaped ruby
globes are filled with sweet-
tart, gem-like juice sacks called


arils, which are eaten whole,
seeds and all. Pomegranates
are bursting with good-for-you
antioxidants, are high in vita-
min C and potassium, and are a
great source of dietary fiber 5
grams per half cup serving. All
those nutrients and great taste,
for only about 80 calories per
half cup is a real bargain.
Choose pomegranates with a
ruby red or deep pink skin that
is free of bruises or soft spots.
The heavier the pomegranate,
the juicier it will be. And, even
though they are harvested fully
ripe, some will be sweeter than
others. Store them in the refrig-
erator in a perforated plastic
bag for up to two weeks. Once
removed from the pomegranate,
refrigerate the arils in a tight-
ly covered container for up to
three days. Releasing the juice-
filled arils without covering
yourself and the kitchen counter
with scarlet stains might seem
like a challenge, but it's actually
easy. Just follow the directions
in the recipe below.
Chocolate Covered
Pomegranate Arils (makes 24
clusters)
2 cups pomegranate arils
(seed sacks) from 2 to 3 large
pomegranates
8 ounces fine quality bitter-
sweet or semisweet chocolate,
finely chopped
Use a serrated knife to slice
off the blossom end of the
pomegranates, including some
of the white pith, but none of
the seeds. Score the rind length-
wise in 4 or 5 places. Place the
fruits in a large bowl of cool
water, and allow to soak for
about 5 minutes.
Keeping the pomegranate
under water, gently break it
apart along the scoring lines,
and use your fingers to separate
the arils from the membranes.
The arils will sink to the bottom
of the bowl, and the rind and
white membranes will float to


the surface.
Skim off and discard the rind
and membranes using your hand
or a sieve, then pour the arils
and water through a colander.
Spread the arils out on a dou-
ble thickness of paper towels
and gently pat dry. Reserve and
set aside 2 cups of the arils, and
refrigerate any remaining for
later use.
Line a cookie sheet with
parchment or waxed paper.


Place the finely chopped only about 90 degrees (a little
chocolate in a completely dry, less than normal skin tempera-


microwave-safe plastic bowl.
Microwave chocolate, uncov-
ered, on medium power for 1/2
minutes, then stir.
If necessary, continue micro-
waving at intervals of 30 sec-
onds or less until most of the
chocolate is melted.
Stir until the chocolate is
smooth and shiny. The tempera-
ture of the chocolate should be


THE


ture). If it is noticeably higher,
continue to stir until the choco-
late has cooled somewhat, but is
still liquid and runny.
Add the pomegranate arils
and gently stir to combine.
Use a fork to scoop out clus-
ters of chocolate-covered arils
and drop onto the prepared
cookie sheet. Work quickly, as
the chocolate will harden.


Sprinkle each cluster with
leftover arils, pressing gently
into the chocolate.
Refrigerate clusters for 20
minutes, or until chocolate is
set.

Task Force, Partner Nations Deter Pirate Attacks


By Lt. Jennifer Cragg
Special to American Forces Press
Service
The presence of partner
nations and the newly formed
task force to reduce the num-
ber of pirate attacks in the Gulf
of Aden seem to be working,
according to the commander of
Combined Task Force 151.
"I think the combination of
the coalition working together
[with] the maritime commu-
nity has decreased the pirate
activity over the last couple
of months," Navy Rear Adm.
Terry McKnight, also the
commander of Expeditionary
Strike Group 2, told bloggers
and online journalists during a
Defense Department bloggers'
roundtable Jan. 29.
The task force was formed
earlier this month and comprises
three ships USS San Antonio
(LPD 17), USS Mahan (DDG
72) and HMS Portland (F 79) -
that are collaborating with other
nations to deter future pirate
attacks.
While a number of fac-
tors even the weather can
impact the number of attacks,
McKnight gave credit to the
European Union and the nations
involved in anti-piracy opera-
tions, as well as the task force,
with helping to decrease attacks
since early December.
"Some things have changed
that have helped us in this case
to combat piracy," McKnight
said. "The United Nations has
come out with several reso-
lutions ... that give us more
authority to combat piracy."
U.N. Resolution 1846,
approved by the United Nations
Security Council on Dec. 2,
authorizes states and regional

tions in and around the Gulf ofAden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Red Seat.


organizations cooperating with
the Somali transitional gov-
ernment to enter Somalia's
territorial waters and use "all
necessary means" to combat
piracy. Two weeks later, U.N.
Resolution 1851 was approved,
and calls for those states and
organizations to "actively par-
ticipate in defeating piracy and
armed robbery off Somalia's
coast by deploying naval ves-
sels and military aircraft, and
through seizure and disposition
of boats and arms used in the
commission of those crimes."
The other recent change that
has assisted in combating pira-
cy is the maritime community
itself, McKnight said.


"We have tried very hard to
say to the maritime community,
there are just not enough Navy
ships out there to cover 1.1 mil-
lion square miles," he said.
McKnight added that creat-
ing a safe corridor allows the
nations involved in combating
piracy to offer protection to
the maritime vessels transiting
through the Gulf of Aden.
In standing up Combined
Task Force 151, McKnight said,
he hopes to "make it unpleasant
to be in the pirate business."
"Right now, we have about
14 nations out here with about
20 ships," he said. "We've had
some encouraging signs from
other ships and other nations to

Final Sunset For Jax's Sea Control Wing


By Clark Pierce
NavalAir Station Jacksonville
One day after the disestab-
lishment of its last squadron,
Commander, Sea Control Wing,
U.S. Atlantic Fleet followed
suit with a Jan. 30 ceremony
aboard Naval Air Station (NAS)
Jacksonville.
More than 700 guests, most of
whom attended the Sea Control
Squadron (VS) 22 disestablish-
ment the previous day, gathered
to honor the accomplishments
of the VS community for the
last time.
After recognizing former
Sea Control Wing commo-
dores, Commanding Officer
Capt. Evan Piritz introduced
guest speaker Vice Adm. David
Architzel, principal deputy to
the assistant secretary of the
Navy for research, development
and acquisition.
"In my career as a naval avia-
tor, I've accumulated more than
5,000 flight hours. I'm proud
to tell you that 4,300 of those
hours were behind the stick of
the S-3 Viking. My first deploy-
ment was with VS-30 on board
USS Forrestal. That was fol-
lowed by a tour as maintenance
officer in VS-28 deployed on
board USS Independence. Later
on, I returned to VS-30 for my
XO/CO tour," said Architzel.
"It's my honor to be here
today and shake hands with
people in the VS community
whom I have admired through
my entire career. My thanks go
to Commodore Piritz and his
staff for staging such a well-
organized event commemorat-
ing the VP community's contri-
butions to naval aviation," he
continued.
After sharing some favorite
sea stories from his VS deploy-
ments, Architzel asked the audi-

Paper-based Excelsior
College and ACT exams may
now be administered afloat on
ships designated as Defense
Activity for Non-Traditional
Education (DANTES) testing
sites under new policy guide-
lines announced in NAVADMIN
029/09.
"This is good for the Navy
because it allows Sailors to
maintain their educational prog-
ress while they serve afloat,"
said Ann Hunter, the Navy's
voluntary education (VOLED)
service chief. "The Excelsior
College and ACT exams are
accepted by many academic
institutions, and includes 53
exams testing the arts, sciences,


Two S-3B Vikings assigned to the "Red Griffins" of Sea Control Squadron Three Eight (VS-38) refuel two


ence to never forget the spirit
of flexibility, commitment, per-
severance and adaptability that
was infused into each squadron
by the Sea Control Wing.
"Over more than 30 years,
the versatility of the S-3 Viking
was proven time and time
again. There was never a time
when the VP community and
Lockheed could not reconfigure
the Viking to successfully take
on new missions."
"Our legacy runs deep, going
back to World War II when


German submarine wolf packs
were ravaging shipping lanes
between the U.S. and Europe.
The Navy responded with con-
voy carrier task forces that
tasked Grumman Avengers
to spot and target enemy sub-
marines. Most recently, four
Vikings from VS-22 were
tasked to spot and target enemy
IEDs, as well as perform sur-
veillance of borders and infil-
tration routes in Iraq. With
their adaptation of LANTIRN
(Low Altitude Navigation and


Targeting Infrared for Night)
pods, they were able to provide
full-motion video to command-
ers on the ground."
"It is the Sea Control Wing's
enduring legacy of flexibil-


business, education and nursing
areas."
In March 2008, DANTES
suspended paper-based testing
for college-level examination
programs across the Navy due
to a loss of control of paper-
based exams aboard several
Navy ships. DANTES testing
facilities resumed the adminis-
tration of paper-based exams on
shore installations only in May
2008.
Ships with full-time educa-
tion service officers (ESO) may
request authority to stand up a
DANTES testing site. Requests
to stand up a DANTES test-
ing site will be forwarded to
OPNAV N15 via the immedi-
ate superior in charge (ISIC). If
the ship's request is approved,


OPNAV N15 will review and
submit a complete nomination
package to DANTES.
DANTES sponsored tests are
controlled items and require
secure storage and handling.
Commanding officers are
responsible for the management
and oversight of the DANTES-
sponsored testing programs
onboard their ships and should
refer to the NAVADMIN for
security guidance.

Free Anti-Virus Software


Available To DoD


By MC2(SW)
Christopher Koons
Naval Network Warfare Command
Public.;-
As cyberspace has become an
increasingly active battlefield
for the United States military,
the need for effective anti-virus
programs has grown.
Anti-virus software is found
on every Department of Defense
computer to fight against com-
mon threats that often spread
via e-mail and the Internet. DoD
employees are vulnerable at
work, and because many people
bring work home, their home
computers require protection to
ensure that malicious files are
not inadvertently transferred
from an unprotected home sys-
tem. To that end, several gov-
ernment Web sites offer free
anti-virus software intended for
use on service members' home
computers.
The software is licensed for
DoD employees, both military
and civilian, courtesy of the
Defense Information Systems
Agency (DISA). According to
Information Systems Technician
1st Class (SW/AW) Angela
Moffett, leading petty officer for
Navy Cyber Defense Operations
Command's (NCDOC) infra-
structure department, recent
cyber attacks have highlighted
the importance of having this
software available to DoD
members.
"Because of the security chal-


lenges the Navy is currently
experiencing and the growth in
interconnected computer sys-
tems, the threats to information
technology have become more
sophisticated and diverse," said
Moffett. "Anti-virus software is
a tool we use in order to combat
system vulnerability to mali-
cious attacks."
To obtain anti-virus software,
visit https://www.infosec.navy.
mil, and select "Anti-Virus
Information."
"The INFOSEC Web site has
a large variety of tools to gain
knowledge on how to use anti-
virus software and offers advice
on how to deal with virus
risks," said Moffett. "It also has
descriptions of policies on how
to protect DoD equipment and
information. The other branches


Workers
of the armed forces also have
sites that offer these resources."
Members can either down-
load via file transfer protocol
(fast connection) or go to the
INFOSEC FAQ page for slower
downloads, then choose the soft-
ware. Anti-virus software from
McAfee is available, in addition
to Symantec and TrendMicro,
plus regular signature updates to
keep PC workstations current.
Mac users can download
McAfee Virex software and
signatures for OS X, as well as
earlier Mac operating systems.
The sites even offer VirusScan
for UNIX and DOS users.
"You should keep the soft-
ware in a secure place such as
your external hard drive or your
local drive," said Moffett.


this legacy that will inspire our
men and women to continue to
make great contributions to the
future of naval aviation," said
Architzel.
At its peak, Sea Control Wing
components included VS-22,
VS-24, VS-27, VS-28, VS-30,
VS-31, VS-32 and Sea Control
Weapons School. The com-
mand's small but dedicated staff
was charged with maintaining
Sthe material and operational
readiness of the fixed-wing,
carrier-based sea control squad-
rons.
In his closing remarks, Piritz
thanked his staff officers, chief
petty officers and Sailors who
worked as a team with long-
time civil service employees to
provide squadrons with combat-
ready aircrew.
"Many of our civilians have
more than 20 years of provid-
ing behind-the-scenes support
to the Sea Control Wing and
it's squadrons. Thank you for a
phenomenal job," he said.
"Finally, this is a day of con-
flicting emotions for most of
us. If there's one feeling that
rises above the rest it's an

COME ON PEOPLE
This is ridiculous! Week
after week I run ads for
different departments in
my organization & get
limited response. There
are no gimmicks, no
surprises & and no hid-
den factors. We have
everything anybody else
can offer, in other
words, not iust a great
income, but all the good-
ies tool Commissions &
Incentives, vacations,
trips, rewards, health,
dental, life & vision
insurance and a 401(k).
Starting income, up to
$45K-$75K per year. You
can even qualify for a
$2,000.00 signing bonus.
Sounds good so far,
doesn't it? That's why I
can't understand why in
the world you wouldn't
investigate this opportu-
nity. This week I'm hir-
ing for sales in our
Jacksonville office: No
Experience necessary,
we will train you.
