Combined Task Force 151 Public

On Feb. 4, USS Vella Gulf
(CG 72), with embarked detach-
ment HSL-42 Detachment
One "Jive Turkeys," became
the flagship of Combined Task
Force (CTF) 151, a multination-
al task force conducting coun-
ter-piracy operations in the Gulf
of Aden, Red Sea, Indian Ocean
and Arabian Sea.
The amphibious transport
dock ship USS San Antonio
(LPD 17) assumed the role
in January and served as the
flagship for Rear Adm. Terry
McKnight, commander, CTF
151, before the admiral trans-
ferred his flag and staff to the
guided-missile destroyer.
"San Antonio did an amaz-
ing job as the first CTF 151
flagship," said McKnight. "Her
crew and capabilities meshed
with the embarked command
staff and several other units
from day one, which allowed us
to be very effective conducting
counterpiracy operations."
"Our Navy and Coast Guard
boarding teams were able to
train together, the helo detach-
ment provided passenger move-
ments between platforms and
overwatch for our boarding
teams, and our fleet surgical
team was always ready to be
called upon," McKnight con-
tinued.
"Through it all, we worked
with our partners to promote the
free flow of commerce in the
maritime environment. I have
no doubt Vella Gulf will take up
the torch and do just as well in

her support of maritime security
operations."
The CTF 151 flagship tran-
sition to Vella Gulf brings a
fresh crew of Sailors who will
assume the responsibilities of
the mission. The multi-mis-
sion platform provides unique
and valuable capabilities to the
task force charged with detect-


ing and deterring piracy in the
region.
"We are very strong in devel-
oping and maintaining a recog-
nized maritime picture (RMP)
because of our training dur-
ing workups as the Iwo Jima
Amphibious Readiness Group
Sea Combat Commander, and
we will be able to use this expe-


rience during the counterpira-
cy mission," said Capt. Mark
Genung, Vella Gulf's command-
ing officer.
He added that Detachment
One brings an "unparalleled"
organic capability to detect and
identify potential pirate ships
and skiffs beyond the line of
sight of the ship.


"On board Vella Gulf I have
significant radar, [signal intelli-
gence] and electro-optical capa-
bilities that, coupled with my
SH-60B, provide Rear Admiral
McKnight the best possible
RMP. We're also capable of
providing a broad spectrum of
kinetic and non-kinetic options
to CTF 151."


Mayport Tops CFC Fundraising Goal


By Kaylee LaRocque
NAS JaxDeputy PAO
A grand celebration held
Feb. 3 at the NAS Jacksonville
Officers' club officially ended
the 2008 Northeast Florida-
Southeast Georgia Combined
Federal Campaign (CFC).
This year's campaign for the
region generated $2,250,000 in
contributions that will be dis-
tributed among the non-profit
organization approved by a spe-
cial committee to become recip-
ients. This is the ninth consecu-
tive year the drive has topped
$2 million.
The year's theme was
"Reaching Out... Changing
Lives."


Although the campaign
proved to be a huge success,
some wondered how the coun-
try's downward economic spiral
would affect this year's cam-
paign.
"It was the coordinators, ten-
ant commands, that made the
difference despite the economic
environment," said NS Mayport
CFC Chairperson Chief
Electronics Technician Cedric
Daniels, who has overseen the
campaign for the past two years.
"Their motivation and dedica-
tion ensured that every possible
donor was given an opportunity
to contribute to the campaign."
The NS Mayport goal was set
at $380,000 and base commands


exceeded that by 112 percent to
raise $425,189.
During the celebration, key-
note speakers from Commander,
Navy Region Southeast, CFC,
U.S. Department of Labor and
the United Way praised the
audience for their dedication to
making the campaign so suc-
cessful.
"On behalf of the United Way
of Northeast Florida, I would
like to pass on my congratu-
lations to the entire CFC team
for their excellent, excellent
campaign this year. You have
stepped beyond and above of
what most others in our com-
munity have not been able to
do, so all the accolades you


hear today are well deserved.
From the bottom of my heart
I say, 'thank you for caring,"
said Connie Hodges, president
of the United Way of Northeast
Florida.
"The message that I really
want to leave you with is a mes-
sage of thanks. We all know
how important this campaign
is for many, many reasons. You
are all responsible for the suc-
cess achieved in this year's fund
drive. You did that through hard
work, personal sacrifice, get-
ting out and talking to people
and attending meetings. Thank
you for taking the time, making
the commitment and stepping
up," added CNRSE Rear Adm.


Townsend Alexander. "The con-
tributions that you've collect-
ed or were responsible for are
going to help people in need.
These days we're in some tough
economic times and we defi-
nitely have organizations that
are in need."
"We can take great pride in
what we do as federal employ-
ees in supporting the CFC. We
truly do make a difference for
literally thousands of people and
with this economy this year, that
is so very important," echoed
Richard Brettell, regional direc-
tor of the U.S. Department
of Labor Office of Worker
Compensation Programs.
CFC Regional Director John


Smith also presented numerous
awards during the event to rec-
ognize leaders and loaned exec-
utives of the various commands
and agencies from the region.
To close out the celebration
the audience happily cheered
as the final contribution figure
of $2,250,000 was announced.
The campaign runs each year
from Sept. 1 through Dec. 15
to allow federal employees and
military personnel to contribute
to thousands of not-for-profit
charities. The CFC of Northeast
Florida-Southeast Georgia
is comprised of 30 counties
with more than 41,000 federal
employees and military mem-
bers.

From FFSC
Naval Station Mayport's Fleet
& Family Support Center will
sponsor the first annual Military
Saves Week Credit Fair on Feb.
23.
This presentation will have
displays and free information
pertaining to an assortment
of money and financial mat-
ters including credit and credit
reports, consumer protection,
car buying, savings and invest-
ing, preparing for home buying.
The main participants of the
credit fair will include Navy
Marine Corps, Navy Federal
Credit Union, Bank of America,
Florida Department of Financial
Services, and MWR.
All attendees will have the
opportunity to go on line to
the Military Saves web site
and pledge to "Build Wealth or
Eliminate Debt."
"In view of current economic


conditions, it is imperative
that commands foster an
environment of sound financial
habits and the self discipline to
adhere to established spending
plans. Military Saves Week,
established as an integral part
of the DoD personal financial
readiness campaign, provides
an opportunity for commanders
to encourage Sailors and family
members to establish personal
savings goals and habits to
improve personal financial
fitness," said Vice Adm. J.C.
Harvey, Jr., Director, Navy
Staff.
This event will take place at the
Beachside Community Center
from 1-5 p.m. The Credit Fair is
free to all NS Mayport's military
service members, and their
families, retirees and civilians
alike.

2 THE MIRROR, NS MAYPORT, Thursday, February 12, 2009


CO Column


It was a chilly homecoming
last week, but a warm welcome
for the return of more than 200
Sailors on board the USS Taylor
(FFG 50) after their successful
six-month deployment.
While deployed, Taylor par-
ticipated in two North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO)
exercises in the Mediterranean
Sea, and Operation Active
Endeavor, a three week oper-
ation which assured the
safety and security of the
Mediterranean for all shipping,
denied the use of the sea for ter-
rorists, drug and human smug-
glers and promoted the role of
NATO forces in the area. I want
to personally give a "well done"
to everyone on board and my
hat is off to the families of these
great Sailors who support them.
On Feb. 26, the Navy League
will host a luncheon honoring
our returning I.A. personnel at
the Ocean Breeze Conference


Capt. Aaron Bowman
Center. The Navy League will
sponsor all I.A's and guests who
have returned from duty after
July of 2008 and those who
may have missed the last lun-
cheon. Tickets will be available
through Feb. 24 at a cost of $10
dollars. Tickets must be pur-
chased in advance and will not
be sold at the door. Seating will


be on a first come first serve
basis and doors will be opened
by 10:30 with the program
commencing at 11:30. For more
information contact OS1 Rogers
at 270-5940 ext. 1201.
The W-2s are out and
Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) is already
in high demand for tax prep-
aration. The center is locat-
ed in base housing at 707A
Everglades Court, by the Vet
Clinic and Thrift Store. Made
up solely by trained volunteers,
the center is the only free tax
preparation service on base and
they perform e-files for active
duty service members, retir-
ees, reservists and their depen-
dents. The center is open 9
a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through
Friday and 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on
Saturday. For an appointment,
call 270-5150.
If you see a strange sport
this weekend on base, it's


because we are hosting the
Air Force Academy Lacrosse
team. On Saturday at UNF
Hodges Stadium they will play
Maryland at noon and then
Clemson will play FSU at 3
p.m. All proceeds go to the
Wounded Warrior Project and
it's a great chance to see some
of the best teams in the country
play here locally.
If you haven't noticed,
we are now playing a movie
every Saturday night at the
Community Center. Movies
start at 7 p.m. and are complete-
ly free to everyone. This week's
movie will be high School
Musical III. Okay, I might miss
that one, but I bet there a lot
of people on base that will be
there. We had almost 100 peo-
ple this past week.
Last week's paper featured
our base services Sailors
improving the look of the base
one paint stroke at a time. The


hard work and dedication is
really paying off as the freshly
painted buildings that are pop-
ping up really make a difference
in the base appearance. Thank
you so much for your efforts,
very often, base service work
might seem like a "thankless"
duty, but your hard work never
goes unnoticed by me. Well
done to all of you and thanks
again for making this base look
so sharp.
Exam time is here, or will be
before we know it...tests begin
March 5, 12 and 19. If you're
not in the books as we speak,
your behind the curve. Make
time for your advancement,
its money in your wallet and
increased responsibility.
Before I close, I want to
remind everyone that we as
a Navy family have a host of
resources that can help us in
nearly every aspect of our lives.
Our Fleet and Family Support


Center is a one-stop shop for
programs designed to HELP
YOU and your family.
Each week The Mirror has
a schedule of these services
and workshops, and the cen-
ter has an open door policy for
everyone. Sadly, last week we
lost a shipmate and this could
very well have been avoided if
help was asked for. Please take
advantage of the help you have
at the ready. If it's financial, or
emotional, we have the staff
that is standing by to help. They
are here for you.
Please keep an eye out while
you go through your day and
don't hesitate to let me know if
you see a better (or safer way)
to do business around the base.
Your concerns are my con-
cerns, so keep those suggestions
rolling in to the CO's sugges-
tion box located at the base
galley, or email them to aaron.

Homefront in Focus


By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor
If you are a regular reader
of my column you know I am
passionate about finding infor-
mation, resources, inspiration
and tips to help us as military
spouses to improve our qual-
ity of life. This week, however,
I am veering from my normal
for an opinion piece; an opinion
piece for military spouses.
Throughout our nation's his-
tory the wife of the President
has effectively used their posi-
tion as First Lady to champion
causes, bringing attention to and

VITA Mayport
Tax season is well underway, and hun-
dreds of people have already taken advan-
tage of the savings offered by the free VITA
Tax Center. There are some common ques-
tions this tax season, so the TAX MAN will
take your Questions now.
Before TAX MAN takes your ques-
tions, a word about the Economic Stimulus
Payment.
Economic Stimulus Payment: It's
important that you check Notice 1378 you
received with the payment last year. It
shows the amount of the payment and if
any of it was applied to other outstanding
balances owed. Our most common ques-
tion: Why are we paying tax on the pay-
ment? You are not going to pay taxes on
the payment but if you received more than
you were due, it may have to be paid back.
Also, if you did not receive the correct
amount, you may receive the additional.
We have had some returns rejected, because
we were provided the wrong amounts.
Question: Why are you asking for the
Leave and Earnings Statement?
Answer: We only ask that for some
servicemembers that are serving on
active duty; if you are filing for Itemized
Deduction and on active duty, your non-
taxable military pay would be added to
your income for additional deductions for
General Sales Tax if you are using Schedule
A. The income isn't taxed but it adds to the
total income for computing your sales tax.
Question: I received a statement from
VA. Where do I put that income on my tax
return?


sen interest. Michelle Obama, in
her letter to America's families
(http://tinyurl.com/b49waz),
pledged to be an advocate for
families with special emphasis
on military families.
Politics aside, this is an
opportunity for military spouses
to have a voice, an advocate,
not previously enjoyed. But
what do we, as military spous-
es, Navy spouses want, what do
we need? What are the things
Mrs. Obama could champion
on behalf of military spouses?
I am sure each of us could draft
our own wish list. But let us
maximize this opportunity to


effect positive change for not
only ourselves but for military
spouses and families of future
generations.
I recently spoke with sever-
al groups of military spouses,
asking what they would like to
see Mrs. Obama to do on behalf
of military spouses. Below is a
compilation of their thoughts.
Career development.
Educational Assistance for
spouses.
Professional Credentialing
Assistance.
Educational assistance for
mobile military children.
Child Care:

Man


Answer: VA Benefits are not put on the
tax return unless your qualify for
Credit for the Elderly or Disabled.
This is a seldom used credit; in order to
qualify, your income must be very low and
you must add in your social security and VA
benefits. If your nontaxable social security
and VA benefits are greater than $5000 for
single filers, $7,500 if married filing jointly,
or $3,750 married filing separate, you can-
not claim the credit. The Tax Center may
see two or three returns each year that can
claim the credit.
Question: I hear that I may qualify for
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). I am
single with no children.
Answer: In some cases, that may be true.
There is only one case where you can claim
EITC on your return without children. If


Increased of support for mili-
tary families and their service
member.
Each of these items require
expounding but one thing is
clear. We have an opportunity
to communicate our needs and
experience with a First Lady
who has pledged "we have an
advocate in the White House."
I am not a 'call to action'
type person; I'm not a petition
signing woman. But I recog-
nize we have a unique oppor-
tunity to effect change, to have
a voice. So, let us not be lax
in this opportunity to be heard.
What do YOU need? What do


you are single, you have to be between the
ages 25 and 65 with earned income of at
lest $1 but less than $12,880. Let us ensure
that you receive the correct amount, visit
your VITA CENTER.
Question: Do you process rental income?
I have a house that I rented last year when
I transferred and I just don't know how to
report the income.
Answer: We do rental income reporting
on Schedule E at the VITA Tax Center.
You must bring in a complete list of your
rental expenses, such as, repairs, insurance,
pest control, property taxes, utilities, man-
agement fees, and any other fees that may
be required to keep the dwelling livable.
Remember, repairs and expenses paid out
before renting are not rental expenses. If
you have home improvements (they add
value to the home), these expenses are a
Capital Improvement and would be added
to the basis of the property and must be
depreciated.
Depreciation must be taken on all rental
property. You must determine the basis
of the house that is being depreciated. At
times you will need to determine the value
of the land before you can depreciate the
property. We do limit the number of rental
properties that we can report for you.
Remember to make an appointment at the
Mayport VITA Tax Center, located in
Building 707, call 904-270-5150. We
also take walk-ins. Please note, the
VITA Tax Center will be closed for
President's Day weekend, closing at 4 p.m.
on Feb. 16 and reopening on Feb. 20.


you want Mrs. Obama to know
about you, your life, your chal-
lenges and your ideas?
May I encourage you this
week to take time to send a let-
ter, card, email or note to Mrs.
Obama. Hearing from military
spouses will only enhance her
ability to effectively advocate
on our behalf. You can write
Mrs. Obama at:
First Lady, Michelle Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
NW
Washington, DC 20500
Personally my desire is that
Mrs Obama will raise aware-


ness and appreciation of the
heroes serving in our military
(after all they are family) and
the heroes left behind; the
spouses, children and parents of
military who stand strong and
proud while enduring challeng-
es beyond the experience of our
civilian counterparts.

Alternative Ways


To Commute


From the North Florida Transporta-
tion Planning Organization
During the post holiday
lull, here's a transportation
tip to help you save money
as well as our environment.
Try using an alternative
mode of transportation to
commute to work a couple
times a week.
Sharing a ride with some-
one, using transit, biking and
walking are all great ways
to go green and keep some
green in your wallet.
Learn more about alter-
native transportation on the
North Florida Transportation
Planning Organization's
(TPO) commuter services
website, www.cooltopool.
com.
If you live and work in
Duval, Clay, Nassau, St.
Johns or Baker County and
carpool, bike or walk to work
three times a week you can
become eligible for a free
emergency ride home by
registering with the North
Florida TPO.
When an emergency aris-
es and you must leave work
before your carpool you'll
get a free taxi ride (maximum
of four per year). For unex-


pected inclement weather,
bikers and walkers will also
get a free taxi ride home.
Use the Savings Calculator
on the cool to pool website to
see how much you spend on
monthly and yearly commute
costs. The results may con-
vince you to find someone to
share a ride to work with you
a few days a week.
Download or print our
FAQ sheets about carpool-
ing and about the Emergency
Ride Home Program from
cooltopool. Find a coworker
to ride to/from work with and
start saving money today.
Using alternative modes of
transportation also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions
(GHG), which directly con-
tribute to air pollution and
climate change.
According to the
Automobile Association of
America's "Driving Costs of
2008," your cost per day for
auto insurance, financing,
and depreciation is approxi-
mately $15.28.
The Commuter Services is
funded by the Florida Dept.
of Transportation. Our phone
number is 904-306-7500.

Partnership Station (APS) ini-
tiative in East Africa.
APS is an initiative to
enhance maritime safety and
security in Africa led by U.S.
Naval Forces Europe and U.S.
Naval Forces Africa. It is one
of the keys to the chief of naval
operations' maritime strategy
and aimed at strengthening
global maritime partnerships
through training and other col-


laborative activities in order to
improve maritime safety and
security throughout Africa.
The visit began with a round
table meeting aboard the ship

Loeffler, director of policy,
resources and strategy for U.S.
Naval Forces Europe and Africa
and the U.S. Embassy Charge
d'Affaires Todd Chapman

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness": Words that many
Americans take for granted.
Those of us born into the rights
and privileges guaranteed by the
Constitution rarely take the time
to consider what life would be
like without these unalienable
rights. Yet it is the desire for
these very rights that drives so
many people across the world
to seek refuge under the protec-
tive net of American citizenship.
Sillah is one such individual.
Sillah arrived in New York in
December of 2007 after winning
the visa lottery in his native
Sierra Leone. He is a member
of the Susu tribe of North Sierra
Leone, located in West Africa,
and decided to immigrate in
order to make a better life for
himself, his wife Mariama, and
their young daughter Alima.
Within months of arriving in the
United States and getting his
Green Card, he decided to enlist
in the Navy to support his new
country and attain a quality edu-
cation. He states that, thanks
to the Navy, everything is hap-
pening; his American Dream is
coming true.

Petty Officer 1st Class Beau
Vallier is the 2008 active duty
Enlisted Person of the Year for

and a 11-year veteran of the

with environmental regulations.

Coast

Guard

Changes

Frequency
From Seventh District Public, --
Similar to the broadcasting
world, which is transitioning
from analog to digital frequen-
cies, beginning Feb. 1, the Coast
Guard will only receive distress
alert broadcasts from digital
406-MHz Emergency Position
Indicating Radio Beacons.
The Coast Guard will no lon-
ger process analog signals trans-
mitting on 121.5 or 243.0 MHz.
The Coast Guard urges mar-
iners and aviators to upgrade
their onboard analog equipment
to include a digital 406-MHz
EPIRB.
Advantages of the 406 EPIRB
signal include:
*Worldwide coverage
*More reliable position infor-
mation to within eight square
nautical miles on non GPS-
enabled units and 300 feet on
GPS-enabled models
*More stable and sustained
signal resulting in faster
response
*Digitally encoded data,
including latitude and lon-
gitude, helps to curb false
alerts, speeds up response
times and conserves tax dollars
*A signal 50 times more pow-
erful, allowing for more accu-
rate search areas and quick res-
olution of unintentionally acti-
vated EPIRBs
GPS-enabled features and
water-immersion activation
devices in select models further
improve chances of a safe, swift
rescue. Some have more eco-
logically compatible batteries
as well.
EPIRB owners are required to
register their beacons with the
406 MHz Beacon Registration
Database online at www.bea-
conregistration.noaa.gov, or
by calling 1-888-212-SAVE.
Federal law also requires EPIRB
owners to update pertinent con-
tact and vessel identification
information every two years or
when the information changes
through the 406 MHz Beacon
Registration Database online
at http://www.beaconregistra-
tion.noaa.gov. The informa-
tion provided helps to take the
search out of search and rescue
by allowing rescuers to quickly
gather vital information about
missing boaters, their vessel
and their location, which results
in faster rescues and increased
chances of survival in distress
situations.

Navy F
From American Forces Press Service
Sailors from the Norfolk-
based destroyer USS Mason,
with embarked NS Mayport-
based HSL-44 Detachment
Three, went aboard Faina to
conduct a health and comfort
inspection of the crew as well
as to provide Faina's crew with
food, water and medical sup-
port. The U.S. Navy fleet ocean
tug USNS Catawba also pro-
vided fuel and fresh water to the
merchant vessel.
Faina is anchored off the
coast of Somalia, near Hobyo,
and is making engineering prep-
arations to get under way.
Somali pirates released Faina
yesterday after holding it for
more than four months. The
U.S. Navy has remained with-
in visual range of the ship and
maintained a 24-hour, seven-
day-a-week presence since it
was captured.
Pirates attacked Faina off
the coast of Somalia on Sept.
25. While the ship initially had
a crew of 21, the ship's cap-
tain reportedly suffered a heart
attack shortly after being taken
hostage. The pirates refused
requests to turn over the cap-
tain's remains. The ship's
remaining crew includes 17
Ukrainian citizens, two Russians
and one Latvian.

Provides Assistance To Faina Crew


-Photo by MC1 Michael R. McCormick
Sailors from the Norfolk-based destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87), with embarked NS Mayport-based HSL-44 Detachment Three, climb aboard Motor Vessel Faina to
conduct a health and comfort inspection of the crew as well as provide them with food, water and medical support. Somali pirates released the Motor Vessel Faina Feb. 5,
after holding it for more than four months. The U.S. Navy has remained within visual range of the ship and maintained a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week presence since it was
captured. The Belize-flagged cargo ship is owned and operated by "Kaalbye Shipping Ukraine" and is carrying a cargo of Ukrainian T-72 tanks and related equipment.
The ship was attacked on Sept. 25 and forced to proceed to anchorage off the Somali Coast. U.S. 5th Fleet conducts maritime security operations to promote stability and
regional economic prosperity.

JaxAir News
The Rescue Swimmer School
(RSS) at Naval Air Station
Jacksonville (NAS Jax) pro-
vides rigorous training and sig-
nificantly contributes to fleet
readiness.
"The U.S. Navy Rescue
Swimmer School (RSS) at NAS
Jax impacts fleet readiness vir-
tually around the world," said
Lt. Thomas Doane, officer in
charge. "Our classes are filled
with Sailors from as far away
as Japan, Hawaii and San Diego
- and as close as Mayport and
Norfolk."
RSS teaches three courses:
*CAT 1 a four-week course
for surface (ship-borne) swim-
mers that teaches basic lifesav-
ing procedures and how to use
lifesaving equipment. Doane
explained, "Each Navy ship
is required to have two quali-
fied rescue swimmers on board
before it can pull away from
the pier fi so our graduates are
considered 'mission essential.'
Their training is centered on the
J-bar davit, which is the appa-
ratus on a ship's foc'sle that
lowers and raises rescue swim-
mers."
*CAT II a two-week refresh-
er course for surface and avia-
tion rescue swimmers whose
careers took them away from
the water for more than a year.
"Before they can come back to
fill that billet again, we outfit
them, make sure they're physi-
cally fit, and run them through
any updated procedures," said
Doane.
*Aviation SAR (search and
rescue) Petty Officer Course
teaches senior enlisted how to
plan and document training and
evaluations of rescue swimmers
in their helicopter squadron or
wing.
Senior Chief Naval Air
Crewman (AW/NAC) Bruce
Kane, leading chief petty offi-
cer, noted that after graduating
from RSS, rescue swimmers
must complete a swimmer fit-
ness test (SFT) every six months
to evaluate their medical and
equipment knowledge, as well
as in-water performance.
"For surface rescue swim-
mers, the SFT consists of four
pull-ups, a 500-meter equipment
swim and a 400-meter buddy
tow in 27 minutes or less," said
Kane.
The SFT for aviation rescue
swimmers consists of four pull-
ups, but adds a carry of two 55-
pound dumbbells over obstacles
for 100 feet, a one-mile litter
walk (completed within 16.5
minutes), followed by the 500-
meter equipment swim and a
400-meter buddy tow in 27
minutes or less.
Naval Air Crewman 1st Class
William Davis, an instructor,
said, "Rescue swimmers must
be CPR-current and able to
evaluate victims and provide
first aid treatment. Students
must also perform a rescue of
an individual in the water who
is entangled with parachutes and
other aviation gear. The school
has a tower platform by the pool
with two J-bars. Depending on


the sea state, the rescue swim-
mer may also deploy a small
rigid-hull inflatable boat."
This particular day of the
four-week school featured train-
ing scenario one, where students
learn to rescue two survivors in
the water.
"A lot of instruction goes on
in the pool," said Chief Naval
Air Crewman Daniel Wilson.
"This drill will be practiced at
least four times. Up until this
point, we've taught them about
a lot of lifesaving tactics, tech-
niques and equipment. Today
they're putting it all together
to effect a multiple-survivors
rescue."
There is a grade sheet for
each student, for each scenario.
The instructor in the water will
debrief each student, reinforcing
what went right and what needs
improvement, and then assign
a grade of one to four, with one
being the highest.
Ensign Adam Niznik, a sup-
ply officer aboard the Mayport-
based cruiser USS Philippine
Sea (CG 58), graduated from
the U.S. Naval Academy in
2007 and applied to the rescue
swimmer school.
"I played football and rugby
at the academy, so I like physi-
cal challenges fi and this school
is an extreme challenge. Since
it's rare for officers to attend
this school, the rescue swim-
mers aboard my ship warned
me that I would probably be
designated the class leader. That
means when I violate a proce-
dure I get yelled at. And when
somebody in our class messes
up fi I get yelled at.
"We do evening study groups
at the BEQ because the curricu-
lum calls for lots of time in the
pool practicing rescue proce-
dures under various scenarios.
Near the end of week three,
our instructors put us on the
bus and drove to the NAS Jax
Boathouse where we boarded a
SAR vessel for an afternoon and
into-the-night evolution of real-
water training in the St. Johns
River. It was great to get out of
the classroom and apply what
we've learned in an unfamiliar
body of water," said Niznik.
Seaman Justan Mounts of
Rogersville, Tenn. is a member
of the USS Philippine Sea deck
division. He requested RSS for
its unusual athletic challenge.
"I attended dive school in
Panama City, Fla. and am scuba
qualified so I knew there
would be a lot of physical train-
ing. This is a great program I
really love it.
Fire Controlman 2nd Class
Benito Martinez, also an instruc-
tor, continuously stresses the
need for swimmers to perform
according to instruction and to
be fast and efficient because
rough water and low tempera-
tures can sap a swimmer of his
or her energy.
"We build knowledge and
skills," said Martinez. "The
final exam is composed of sce-
narios from their four weeks
of training. Everything here is
pass or fail there is no middle
ground."

Are You A Type A Personality?


Know The Links Of Stress, Heart Disease Risks


By Lt. Elliott Rosenbaum
NHJPsychology Staff
American Heart Month, observed
throughout February, is a great time
to talk about the connection between
stress and heart disease. Dr. Matthew
Burg, a cardiovascular medicine
researcher at Yale University School of
Medicine reported in Heart Book that
researchers have been looking at the
connection between heart disease and
stress for many years and research sup-
ports the link.
The most significant research was
done using people with Type A per-
sonalities. Type A people are gener-
ally very punctual, often rushed and
impatient. They are hard charging and
ambitious. They may even be per-
ceived as aggressive.
While having a Type A personal-
ity can have benefits like the abili-
ty to multitask and be hard working,
Burg concluded the research clearly
shows there is a connection between
this personality type and heart disease.


Research shows Type A individuals
have a substantially greater sympathet-
ic nervous system response to stressful
or demanding circumstances more
stress hormones, a faster heart rate,
higher blood pressure.
Type A people are also more likely
to perceive events and circumstances
as demanding and often place them-
selves in more demanding situations.
Thus, the negative effects of increased
stress hormones on the heart and arter-


ies are greater for these people than in
non-Type A individuals.
Fortunately, like the risks associated
with high blood cholesterol and blood
pressure, those associated with stress
and behavior can also be modified. In
other words, you can still be a Type A
personality and be less stressed by fol-
lowing a few simple techniques such
as laughter, meditation, deep breathing
and regular exercise.
Laugh more. Studies show that
laughter has positive health benefits,
among them the ability to reduce stress
levels on a hormonal level. It also
helps people gain perspective on their
situation and gives them the energy to
make changes, which can have a big
impact on their stress level.
Get more aerobic exercise. For the
greatest overall health benefits, experts
recommend 20 to 30 minutes of aero-
bic activity three or more times a week
and some type of muscle strengthening
activity and stretching at least twice
weekly.


Practice meditation. Meditation
involves sitting in a relaxed position
and clearing your mind. Experts rec-
ommend focusing on a sound, like
"ooommm," or on your own breathing,
or on nothing at all. It is best to have
at least five minute of distraction-free
minutes to spend, but more is better.
Try deep breathing for two minutes,
twice daily. Dr. Herbert Benson of
Harvard University pointed out the
important part of this exercise is to
adopt a passive attitude, as if you were
merely watching your breath rise and
fall. Let the air enter through your
mouth, past your chest and down to
your diaphragm. Your stomach should
rise, while your chest stays still. Take
a breath only when needed. This will
turn on your body's natural response
and help your muscles relax and lower
your blood pressure and heart rate.
Work on questioning your stress-
ful thoughts. Type A personalities
may benefit from asking themselves,
"Am I placing unrealistic demands on


myself? What do I want or prefer,
rather than need?" Start to take notice
of how black and white self talk gets
your emotions spun up and practice
creating more moderate ways of speak-
ing to yourself.
Stress in itself is not necessarily a
bad thing. It can have positive effects
such as giving people the ability to do
their best in difficult situations. But
if not handled properly, stress can be
detrimental.
The bottom line is anything you can
do to reduce your stress level can be a
positive step in the effective prevention
of heart disease. To learn more about
stress and heart disease, visit http://

Plan For Delays


At Clinic, Hospital

From NHJax Public,; -
Naval Hospital Jacksonville beneficiaries should be aware that
the hospital campus and its outlying branch health clinics in Florida
and Georgia will be involved in Exercise "Solid Curtain," Feb. 23-
27.
"This annual exercise flexes U.S. Navy security posture nation-
wide," hospital Security Officer MAC Chad Stich explained.
"Visitors to Navy bases should anticipate random implementation
of security measures with some minor hindrance to normal vehicu-
lar and pedestrian traffic flow as the exercise develops," he said.
Stich advised patients with appointments at the hospital or clinics
to allow 30 additional minutes as they plan their visit as they may
experience short delays either on base or finding parking.
This exercise is vital to the security of our naval facilities and to
the security interests of our nation. Your cooperation and patience
is appreciated.


Not Too Late To Commit To Resolutions


From TRICARE
With every New Year come
new resolutions and goals.
Many people make New Yearis
resolutions to lead healthier
lives, but quickly fall off the
wagon. Maybe this year itis to
time commit to old resolutions.
TRICARE programs and ser-
vices can provide expert assis-
tance to help beneficiaries make
good on their resolutions.
The U.S. government has a
list of the most popular New
Year's resolutions at www.usa.
gov. The majority of them deal
with healthy lifestyle changes.
Check out some of the resolu-
tions and how TRICARE can
help:
Lose Weight- Overweight or
obese beneficiaries should seek
a complete health assessment
by their TRICARE primary
care manager to decide the right
steps for them. Proper testing
for diagnosis of obesity should
come from a medical provider
and may include skinfold thick-
ness measurements, diet evalu-
ations, physical activity, fam-
ily history and other appropriate
health screenings.
Get Fit- For adults, the
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) recommends
a minimum of 30 minutes of
moderate physical activity
daily most days of the week,
or a minimum of 20 minutes of
vigorous physical activity three
days a week. Uniformed service
families, civilian employees and
military retirees can utilize the
Morale, Welfare and Recreation
(MWR) centers for a number of
services From team sports to
music, dance, martial arts, gym-
nastics, swimming lessons, ice
skating, and more, MWR cen-
ters have something for every-


one.
Eat Right- Creating a bal-
anced diet and eating plan
may sound simple but, due to
the high levels of conflicting
information and mixed mes-
sages, determining appropriate
calories consumed can be a
real challengejf A beneficiaryis
TRICARE primary care physi-
cian is an excellent first stop.
He or she should be able to pro-
vide additional resources and
suggestions.Tf Another stop is
the Food Guide Pyramid devel-
oped by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (www.mypyramid.
gov).f This interactive tool can
help create an eating plan based
on individual needs including,
age, sex, height, weight and
activity level.
Drink Less Alcohol- There
are many resources available
to overcome alcohol abuse.
TRICARE coverage includes
detoxification, rehabilitation
and outpatient care provided
in an authorized substance use
disorder rehabilitation facility.
Talk to your primary care pro-
vider to learn about treatment
options.f iThat Guy,i is an inter-
active Web site at http://www.
thatguy.com that raises aware-
ness about alcohol abuse. The
campaign targets 18-24 year
old service members and aims
to increase social disapproval
of excessive drinking by high-
lighting the embarrassing con-
sequences. Help is also avail-
able from Military OneSource,
a DoD service available to
active duty members and their
families. Visit the Military One
Source Web site at http://www.
militaryonesource.com for more
information.

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

The NS Mayport Fleet and Family Support
Center is sponsoring a once-a-year lecture
regarding transition. It will be presented by
The Military Officers Association of America
(MOAA), and is entitled "Marketing Yourself
for a Second Career". The event will be held on
Feb. 25 at the Ocean Breeze Conference Center
Ballroom on NS Mayport.
This top-shelf presentation is a great profes-

course ultimately a part of all military careers.
Therefore, the lecture is perfect for those who
are contemplating retirement in one to five years.
However, it doesn't stop there. Regardless of
whether any particular officer or senior enlisted
member has reached the point of being in their
own transition, they should be educated about
the process in order to mentor and counsel those
who work for them and are contemplating or
going through their transitions. This c tl\ali c

Nations' Officers Gather, Grow In SPS


By MC1 Daniel Ball
Southern Partnership Station Public

Naval officers from El
Salvador, Jamaica, Barbados,
Colombia and Nicaragua have
joined the Southern Partnership
Station (SPS) team on high
speed vessel Swift (HSV 2) to
participate in and assist with the
variety of training evolutions
SPS is providing.
Southern Partnership Station
is an annual deployment of
various specialty platforms to
the U.S. Southern Command
(SOUTHCOM)area of focus
in the Caribbean and Latin
America. The mission goal is
primarily information sharing
with navies, coast guards, and
civilian services throughout the
region.
The officers come from
a variety of backgrounds
and work with teams from
Navy Expeditionary Training
Command, Naval Criminal
Investigative Service and the
Marine Corps Training and
Advisory Group.
Their personal expertise and
experience in specific areas pro-
vides an added dimension to the
training capabilities of the SPS
teams.
"It's great having them in
our classes," said port security
instructor Chief Master-at-Arms
Dave Thomas. "First, they ask a
lot of great questions. Second,
they relate the lessons we're
teaching to their experiences.


In the end, all of the knowledge
in the room comes together and
everyone learns more."
The knowledge the officers
are gaining will be put to good
use back home.
"Training is a huge deal
for all of our countries," said
Jamaican Sublieutenant Anneka
Thompson, who joined the mis-
sion in January. "I've taken
three courses since I've been
with the mission, and I've
learned a lot of new things, and
new ways to do things. When
it's over, I hope to take the les-
sons I have learned here and
incorporate them into our train-
ing programs at home."
The officers also build rela-
tionships outside of the class-
room.
"Initially, I felt like I was my
own island," said Thompson.
"But as the mission contin-
ued, I formed good friendships
throughout the ship. Now it's
like a family."
Panama is the sixth stop for
SPS. After Panama, SPS is
scheduled to visit Nicaragua, the
Dominican Republic, Barbados,
Colombia and Jamaica.
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. As
the naval component command
of SOUTHCOM, NAVSO's
mission is to direct U.S.
Naval Forces operating in the

Web Site Helps


Troops, Families


By Lt. Jennifer Cragg
Special to American Forces Press
Service
A Military Health System
Web site continues to help
returning servicemembers and
families adjust after a deploy-
ment ends, the site's program
manager said Jan. 29.
About 20 percent of service-
members returning from Iraq
and Afghanistan experience
adjustment difficulties such
as stress, irritability and sleep
problems, Dr. Robert Ciulla,
program manager for after-
deployment.org, said on the
"Dot Mil Docs" program on
BlogTalkRadio.com.
The afterdeployment.org proj-
ect is one of several core proj-
ects within the National Center
for Telehealth and Technology,
known as "T2," located at Fort
Lewis, Wash., under the direc-
tion of Dr. Greg Gahm. T2 is
a directorate of the Defense
Department's Center for
Excellence for Psychological
Health and Traumatic Brain
Injury.
Ciulla noted that possible
barriers to obtaining services,
including a perceived stigma,
stop many servicemembers
from seeking out care. Ciulla
emphasized that online resourc-
es have many advantages.
"Users can log on to afterde-
ployment.org in the privacy and
comfort of their own homes and
work with the site's resources
anonymously. This should help
with concerns about stigma,"
he said.
Ciulla said that logging on
to afterdeployment.org IIciInl
that users don't have to worry
about transportation, or sched-
uling appointments, or arrang-
ing a sitter for the kids."


He added that online tools
have other advantages, includ-
ing 24/7 access anywhere an
Internet connection is available.
Afterdeployment.org was offi-
cially launched in August, and is
designed to provide behavioral
health tools to servicemembers,
their families and veterans in
all the service branches, Ciulla
said. It includes exercises and
tools that the entire family can
use.
"All of the materials on the
site have value to families ... the
main exercises and tools on the
site -- such as stress and anger
management, sleep hygiene,
getting balance in one's life --
all of these tools are as relevant
for a spouse or other family
member as they are for some-
one on active duty just return-
ing from deployment," he said.
"We consider the self-help
workshops, modeled after actu-
al therapy sessions and which
include exercises and vignettes
and self-assessments, to be the
site's signature elements."
Ciulla said the self-care tools
available on afterdeployment.
org provide the entire military
community with vital service-
delivery options. He noted that
the site has particular advan-
tages for National Guard and
reserve units, who may be dis-
tant from a military treatment
facility or otherwise located in
areas lacking providers who are
knowledgeable about military-
related adjustment concerns.
Ciulla added that officials are
working on future workshops on
topics such as traumatic brain
injury and resilience training.
He also said he and others in the
project office have "listened to
the feedback we have received
over the past months."

The 43 Survivors of USS Underwood's successful Alien Migrant Interdiction Operation (AMIO) gather on the foc'sle before transferring to USNS
Saturn.


From USS Underwood
USS Underwood (FFG 36)
successfully recovered 43
SOLAS (Survival of Life at
Sea) survivors in what initial-
ly began as a drug interdiction
operation in the Eastern Pacific.
Once alongside, Underwood's
boarding team discovered the

/0


battered passengers, whose
nationalities ranged from
Ecuadorian, Columbian and
Chinese (PRC), had been adrift
for more than a week with mini-
mal food and supplies.
While their final destination
remains unclear, they initially
set out from Ecuador for what


should have been a three-day
transit.
Prior to Underwood's arrival
the fishing vessel's captain is
believed to have fled on a small
boat, effectively abandoning the
43 survivors.
After it was deemed the fish-
ing vessel lacked sufficient
fuel or food to return to port,
Underwood executed its AMIO
(Alien Migrant Interdiction
Operation) plan embarking
all 43 survivors including 14
females, 28 males, and a 3-year-
old girl.
Once on board and working in
conjunction with Underwood's
Vessel Boarding Search and
Seizure Team and Coast Guard
Law Enforcement Detachment,
each survivor was document-
ed and processed before being
medically screened.
It became immediately evi-
dent that the migrants' morale
improved as they were offered
showers, food, and shelter.
Lt.j.g. Veronica Rice,
Underwood's Auxiliaries
Officer, said, "having the oppor-
tunity to provide assistance


at sea has been an immensely
rewarding experience that I will
not soon forget."
Upon completion of the res-
cue at sea operation, it was
determined that the fishing ves-
sel was unseaworthy and a haz-
ard to navigation. Meanwhile,
the survivors spent the night on
board Underwood in shelters
constructed by her crew.
The following morning,
through a combination of heli-
copter operations and small boat
transfers, the 43 survivors were
transferred over to the USNS
Saturn, which has been support-
ing Underwood on her Eastern
Pacific CNT deployment.
The rescue at sea trans-
pired into an unexpected, but
rewarding, turn of events for
Underwood as she continues her
duties in the Fourth Fleet AOR.


Underwood's RHIB crew, led by Boat Officer Ensign Devall, prepare to
transfer six survivors to USNS Saturn.

Navy Mandates Electronic Service Record


Accounts Fleetwide


From Navy Personnel Command Public, ;,,
The Chief of Navy Personnel released a
NAVADMIN Feb. 5 announcing the require-
ment for all active-duty and Reserve personnel to
establish and maintain a self-service Electronic
Service Record (ESR) account within the next 60
days.
"Having a self-service account is necessary for
updating emergency contact information. Self-
service accounts contain other important fea-
tures, such as enabling Sailors to directly sub-
mit PCS (permanent change of station) travel
claims upon PCS transfer, update race, ethnic-
ity, and religion information, and view all other
ESR service record information," said Vice Adm.
Mark Ferguson, chief of naval personnel in
NAVADMIN 043/09.
The requirement date for Sailors serving at sea
and without connectivity to establish and ESR is
60 days upon return to homeport.
The Navy first implemented ESRs in 2006.
The ESR provides individual Sailors, Personnel
Support Activity Detachments (PSD), personnel
offices holding service records, Navy Operational
Support Centers, and customer commands of
PSDs, with secure worldwide Internet access to
personnel, training, and awards data.
The ESR replaces the paper service record as
the single field level data entry point for service


record maintenance. Commands are required to
use all available ESR functionality.
Self-service accounts can be created at https://
nsips.nmci.navy.mil or on the Navy Standard
Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server
on board ship.
Commanding officers, executive officers and
command master chiefs can obtain command
level view only access by completing the NSIPS/
ESR system authorization request and contact-
ing their local NSIPS area manager. This access
provides the user view only capability for all ESR
accounts within their UIC(s).
All commands responsible for service record
entries are required to initiate updates in NSIPS
ESR, however official military personnel file
requirements remain unchanged.
NSIPS ESR is the data entry point for elec-
tronic service record maintenance. Sailors are
responsible for the accuracy of their ESR and
must contact the servicing personnel office if any
information is incorrect.

By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
The projected unit cost of
the next-generation U.S. Navy
destroyer is much lower than
the figures being cited in some
news reports, a senior Defense
Department official said in
Washington, D.C. on Feb. 6.
The DDG-1000 is a high-
tech, guided-missile destroyer
that is envisioned to eventually
replace the Arleigh Burke class
of warships developed 30 years
ago.
The Pentagon would pay
between $2.2 to $2.5 billion for
each new DDG-1000 ship after
the regular production line is
up and running, John J. Young
Jr., undersecretary of defense
for acquisition, technology and
logistics told reporters at the
Pentagon.
Young said he disagrees with
news reports that say DDG-
1000 vessels would cost up to
$7 billion per copy.
"There's no basis for any
[cost] projection that this ship is
going to cost 5 or 6 or 7 billion
dollars," Young said.
The cost of a first prototype,


or lead, DDG-1000 ship is
about $3.3 billion because the
government pays for the initial
drawings and production set-
up, Young said. The unit cost of
follow-on ships would decrease
due to industrial economies of
scale, he said.
Conversely, unit production
costs can rise if the number of
items to manufacture is reduced
from the original schedule,
Young explained.
The DDG-1000 series is
designated the Zumwalt class,
named after late Navy Adm.
Elmo Zumwalt Jr. The new
ships feature computer-aided
design, modular construction,
high-tech armaments and radar,
as well as a unique, streamlined
hull design.
Originally, 32 DDG-1000
vessels were to be built at ship-
yards in Maine and Mississippi.
Recent production plans called
for two ships to be built.
However, the DDG-1000 is
on hold for now, as Pentagon
and interagency officials re-
examine the project, Young
said.
"Aside from the warfighting


analysis, we do need to do some
producibility analysis, manufac-
turing analysis and cost analy-
sis," he said.
Some officials suggest that
modifying Arleigh Burke class
ships would be a less expen-
sive way to create a new vessel,
Young said. That approach, he
said, wouldn't produce as much
cost savings as imagined, and
would result in a vessel pos-
sessing undesirable mass with-
out the capabilities of the DDG-
1000.
"You cannot do that with-
out significant changes in that
ship," Young said of proposals
to rework Arleigh Burke ships
to create a new vessel. "You
will have to add cooling capac-
ity; you will have to add electri-
cal generating capacity," as well
as upgraded radar equipment.
And, the Arleigh Burke class
destroyer "has already gained
weight because is 30 years
into its service life and ships are
designed with a certain amount
of weight-carrying capacity,"
he said.


Intelligence Lab Tests Best

Practices, Emerging Concepts


By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
A new laboratory being built at U.S. Joint
Forces Command's Joint Warfighting Center on
Feb. 5 in Suffolk, Va., will enable analysts and
warfighters alike to "step into" data fields like
those that bombard them during real-life mis-
sions.
The "knowledge advanced visualization envi-
ronment," or KAVE, will expose many of the
variables and "what ifs" associated with real-life
operations, explained Army Maj. Caeli Hull, the
command's deputy division officer for innovation
and experimentation.
Users will don 3-D glasses before stepping into
the 18-by-10-foot structure. State-of-the-art com-
puter effects and multiple data feeds delivered
through screens on all four walls and the floor
will converge to create a realistic, three-dimen-
sional environment.
Hull called the KAVE a big step forward in
helping joint warfighters and planners view real-
world operational data in innovative ways. This
supports the "Command and Control C2 vision"
of Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis, com-
mander of Joint Forces Command, officials said.
"A solid training and education foundation
allows commanders and their staff to operate
effectively in complex, chaotic and degraded/hos-
tile information environments," Mattis said in a
C2 vision memo he distributed to his staff.
Hull called the KAVE "a way of making what
isn't known known."
"People can look for trends and patterns that
they wouldn't otherwise see," she said.
The KAVE concept isn't new within the intel-
ligence community. Similar labs already are in
place at U.S. Pacific Command's headquarters
in Honolulu, at U.S. Southern Command's Joint
Interagency Task Force South in Key West, Fla.,
and at the National Reconnaissance Office and
Defense Intelligence Agency in Washington.
But Joint Forces Command's will be the first
five-sided version, Hull said, incorporating the
very latest technical innovations for intelligence
processing.
The lab, to be completed this spring, will be
the icing on the cake at the command's Joint
Intelligence Lab, which opened in April. The


16,000-square-foot facility provides an experi-
mental environment for testing intelligence con-
cepts, processes, technology and prototype initia-
tives, Hull said.
The lab focuses on critical intelligence issues
facing joint commanders, combatant commanders
and joint task forces.
"Everything we develop in here gets transi-
tioned," Hull said. "The focus is on putting infor-
mation in the hands of the guy on the ground."
The new lab provides a controlled testbed for
improving intelligence capabilities while explor-
ing emerging ones, and better integrating intel-
ligence with operations and plans.
The facility's centerpiece is a 38-by-18-foot
"knowledge wall" that feeds data from multiple
military networks at a resolution up to 18 times
that of high-definition home TVs.
Overlapping and sometimes competing infor-
mation gives a more complete operational pic-
ture. Staff sort through and prioritize the inputs,
resulting in "better analysis and better decision-
making," Hull said.
The JIL's greatest contribution, she said, is the
way it enables military people to work with their
counterparts across government and in academia
and industry in person or through shared technol-
ogies. It's the kind of collaboration that promotes
joint, interagency and international cooperation
critical to missions ranging from warfighting to
stability operations to humanitarian assistance
and disaster relief, she added.
"C2 is the essence of our ability to flight as one
team with our Joint, interagency, and multina-
tional partners," Mattis wrote.
"When you bring the data together and the
people together, things can happen," Hull said.
Mattis said during a discussion last month at
the Brookings Institution that technologies like
those being explored at the JIL provide tremen-
dous support to warfighters. But these technolo-
gies are enablers for the men and women who
depend on them not solutions in themselves, he
emphasized.
"War is fundamentally a social problem that
demands human solutions, despite the American
penchant for a purely technological solution," he
said.

New GI Bill Carries Different Eligibility, Benefits


By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
A series of educational assis-
tance programs administered by
the Veterans Affairs Department,
commonly called the GI Bill,
have helped servicemembers
pursue post-secondary learning
for decades.
Soon, another program will
be added to the mix: The Post-
9/11 Veterans Education Bill
will be available to qualified
individuals Aug. 1.
"We previously administered
four major education programs
before this bill came along,"
Keith M. Wilson, VA's educa-
tion service director, said. "The
new Post-9/11 GI Bill has dif-
ferent eligibility criteria [and]
pays for different types of train-
ing."
The new GI Bill provides
three separate types of benefit


payments to those who entered
the military on or after Sept. 10,
2001, and have at least 90 days
of active service.
The first type of payment
covers tuition and fees equal to
what each state's most expen-
sive state-run school charges for
in-state, undergraduate study.
In addition, an allow-
ance based on the Defense
Department's basic hous-
ing allowance for an E-5 with
dependents is available as a ben-
efit paid monthly, Wilson said.
The housing allowance's dollar
amount depends on the location
of the school the servicemem-
ber or veteran is attending, he
added.
The third benefit is a stipend
of up to $1,000 a year for books
and supplies.
No%, each of those pay-
ments is subject to the amount


of active duty an individual
has," Wilson said.
Eligible people with 36 or
more months of active duty will
receive 100 percent of the three
payments, he said. Those with
less than 36 months of active
service will receive a prorated
amount.
For example, Wilson said,
someone with 90 days to six
months of active service quali-
fies for 40 percent of each of
the three types of payments.
The benefits increase with an
individual's amount of active
service, and extend to National
Guardsmen and reservists who
have at least 90 days of active
service.
"Previously the Guard and
reserve members didn't really
have a stake in the GI Bill per
se," he said. No\\ we have one
program that covers both the


active duty and the Guard and
reserves."
For those who incur out-of-
state tuition, attend a private
school, or want to pursue gradu-
ate studies but find their tuition
and fees above the cap set by
the VA, there's the Yellow
Ribbon program.
"The Yellow Ribbon program
is a sub-element of the Post-
9/11 GI Bill," Wilson said. "The
... program allows schools to
enter into an agreement with
VA by which the school will
waive up to half of the differ-
ence of their tuition and fees
charges and what the cap is for
that state, and VA will match the
amount that the school waives."
"It's basically a supplemen-
tal amount of tuition and fees
that would be payable to the
school," he added.
Wilson said he thinks the


voluntary supplemental pro-
gram has been well received by
schools. He cautioned, however,
that the VA still has steps to take
before any formal agreements
between any institution of high-
er learning and the VA can take
place, including finalizing regu-
lations and setting tuition caps.
"So no school, public or pri-
vate, that would be interested
in the Yellow Ribbon program
really has enough information
yet to make [the decision to par-
ticipate]," he said.
It remains to be seen, Wilson
said, what effect the country's
current economic situation may
have on the Yellow Ribbon pro-
gram.
"The important thing to
remember is that the Yellow
Ribbon program is avail-
able to all schools," he said.
"[Speculation about] whether


or not schools' financial situa-
tions are going to impact their
participation or not is a little bit
premature. They don't have all
the information they need from
us yet."
More information on the
Post-9/11 GI Bill, eligibil-
ity, and how this new bill could
affect those with service prior to
Sept. 10, 2001, is available on
the Veterans Affairs GI Bill site
or by calling 1-888-GIBILL-1
toll-free.
Along with answers to fre-
quently asked questions, visi-
tors to the site will find a link
that will allow them to receive
updates on the new GI Bill via
e-mail as they become avail-
able.


Navy Admiral To Lead Review Of Guantanamo Facility


By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
Defense Secretary Robert M.
Gates has selected a Navy four-
star admiral to lead an assess-
ment of operations at the U.S.
detention center at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, a senior Defense
Department official said in
Washington Feb. 3.
Adm. Patrick M. Walsh, the
vice chief of Naval Operations,
will head the review, Pentagon
Press Secretary Geoff Morrell
told reporters.
The White House has tasked
the Pentagon to assess the deten-


From Naval Meteorology and Oceanog-
raphy Command
The Naval Meteorology
and Oceanography Command
(NMOC) entered a coop-
erative research agreement to
share unclassified of informa-
tion about the world's ocean's
through the new version of
Google Earth launched Feb. 2.
A Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement
(CRADA), allows Google to
use certain unclassified bathy-
metric data sets and sea sur-
face temperatures from the
Naval Oceanographic Office
(NAVOCEANO) as well as
meteorological data from
Fleet Numerical Meteorology
and Oceanography Center
(FNMOC). NAVOCEANO and
FNMOC are subordinate com-
mands of NMOC.
The unclassified bathymetric
data sets, sea surface tempera-
tures and ocean current infor-
mation from NAVOCEANO
are incorporated in the new ver-
sion of Google Earth, launched
today.
As part of the research and
development agreement, the
Navy has received Google Earth
Enterprise licenses which pro-
vide for technical support that
will enable the Navy to better
search, view and prepare prod-
ucts from their extensive ocean-
ographic data holdings.


tion operations at Guantanamo
Bay as part of President Barack
Obama's decision to close the
facility, Morrell said.
Obama issued an executive
order Jan. 22 that directs the
closure of the Guantanamo
detention center within a year.
Obama signed another execu-
tive order that day directing
the stand-up of a special inter-
agency task force that will study
the future disposition of pres-
ent Guantanamo detainees who
cannot be transferred to other
countries and who pose a seri-
ous danger to the United States.


"We are excited about this
project with Google because
it will create greatly expanded
global digital data holdings,
promote understanding of the
world's oceans and enhance
our ability to keep the fleet
safe," said Rear Adm. David
Titley, commander of the Naval
Meteorology and Oceanography
Command.
The Naval Oceanographic
Office, which traces its origins
to 1830, has one of the world's
largest collections of ocean
data.
The project will build expand-
ed global digital data holdings.
The public will have access to
certain publicly releasable Navy
ocean data and processes via
the newest version of Google
Earth which enables users to
dive beneath the surface of the
sea and explore the world's
oceans. Since 2005, Google
Earth has provided access to
the world's geographic informa-
tion via satellite imagery, maps
and Google's search capabili-
ties. Educational content on the
Google site will also enhance
the public's understanding of
the Navy's ocean data and its
importance to the Fleet and
environmental stewardship.
Although the Navy has used
ocean data visualization tech-
nology for about 15 years,
developing, integrating, and


Another presidential execu-
tive order issued Jan. 22 directs
the U.S. military and other U.S.
agencies to follow the Army
Field Manual, which bans tor-
ture when interrogating detain-
ees "to promote the safe, lawful
and humane treatment of indi-
viduals in United States cus-
tody," Obama said at the sign-
ing ceremony. The directive,
Obama added, highlights the
importance for the United States
to comply with the Geneva
Conventions.
The Walsh-led apprais-
al of detainee operations at


interpreting these visualizations
requires an advanced knowledge
of information technology. The
tools provided by Google, Inc.,
will give public users access to
and use of visualization soft-
ware technology.
As part of the agreement, the
Navy has received Google Earth
Enterprise licenses for Google's
latest software to update their
geospatial information and
services (GI&S) display tech-
niques of databases and model
data. This software will make
visualization and manipulation
of data as well as searches of
NAVOCEANO's oceanograph-
ic data holdings easier for DoD
users.
Additionally through the
CRADA, DOER will endeavor
to provide data on marine con-
servation that the Navy can use
to comply with federal regula-
tions and recent court orders on
use of sonar. This information
will only be available to DoD
users on secure websites.
Commander, Naval
Meteorology and Oceanography
Command directs the Navy's
meteorology and oceanography
programs and includes about
3,000 officer, enlisted and civil-
ian personnel located world-
wide.


Guantanamo "is a subset of the
executive orders that the presi-
dent signed a couple of weeks
ago," Morrell said.
The admiral's review of
Guantanamo's detention opera-
tions is to be completed within
30 days, Morrell said.
Pentagon officials believe
that detainee operations at
Guantanamo "have been in com-
pliance with Common Article
3 of the Geneva Conventions
for some time and are still so,"


Morrell said.
"But, we take this tasking
from the White House very seri-
ously," Morrell said, "and that's
why the secretary has asked a
four-star flag officer to go down
there, and put fresh eyes on the
situation down there, and come
back with the most up-to-date
assessment of detention opera-
tions."
Obama directed Gates on
Jan. 20 to pause legal proceed-
ings involving alleged terror-


ists being held and tried there,
pending further guidance from
the White House. The president
directed the secretary, who then
directed the Office of Military
Commissions, to cease refer-
ring any new cases through the
military-commissions process
at Guantanamo and to request
120-day continuances on all
ongoing active cases there.
