American forces operating in
the Gulf of Aden have foiled
another instance of piracy and
captured nine suspects, Defense
Department officials said Feb.
12.
The Navy's USS Vella
Gulf, with embarked HSL-
42 Detachment One "Jive
Turkeys," added to its haul of
pirates after foiling an attack on
the Marshall Islands-registered
motor vessel Polaris on Feb. 11,
when the crew of the guided-
missile cruiser captured seven
pirates.
Polaris sent a distress call
to all ships in the area report-
ing that a small skiff contain-
ing seven suspected pirates had
attempted a forcible boarding
of their vessel using a ladder.
Polaris crewmembers removed
the ladder before pirates could
come aboard.
Vella Gulf closed immedi-
ately with the MIV Polaris and
intercepted a skiff matching the
description given by the motor
vessel. The skiff contained
individuals fitting the physical
descriptions given by Polaris
crewmembers. A Vella Gulf
visit, board, search and seizure
team conducted a consensual
boarding and found several
weapons.
M/V Polaris rendezvoused
with Vella Gulf and provided
positive visual identification of
the suspected pirates. The sus-
pected pirates were brought on
board Vella Gulf, where they
were processed and are being
held until they transfer to a tem-
porary holding facility on board
the supply ship USNS Lewis
and Clark (T-AKE 1).
These event mark the first
and second time CTF-151 has
apprehended suspected pirates.

were apprehended and brought aboard Vella Gulf. This is the second group of suspected pirates apprehended in a 24-hour period by
Vella Gulf; there are currently 16 suspected pirates apprehended. Vella Gulf is the flagship for Combined Task Force 151, a multi-nation-
al task force conducting counterpiracy operations to detect and deter piracy in and around the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Gulf, Indian
Ocean and Red Sea.


Vella Gulf is the flagship of
Task Force 151, which has been
operating in the region since
Jan. 8.
For the second capture,
Vella Gulf received a distress
call from the motor vessel
Premdivya, an Indian-flagged
vessel transiting the region,


Pentagon spokesman Bryan
Whitman said.
The radio message said the
ship was under attack by indi-
viduals in a small skiff who
were attempting to board the
vessel. Vella Gulf launched a
helicopter attached to Mayport-
based HSL-42 Detachment One


to the scene.
"When the helicopter arrived,
it signaled the skiff to stop
immediately," Whitman said.
"The skiff did not stop, and so
the helicopter fired a warning
shot."
The suspects, who are
assumed to be Somali, contin-


ued to flee. The helicopter crew
fired a second warning shot, and
the skiff stopped.
"Vella Gulf and a second
destroyer USS Mahan closed
immediately and intercepted the
skiff," Whitman said. "They

The guided-missile cruiser
USS Vella Gulf (CG 72) assist-
ed a fishing vessel in distress,
Feb. 8, while conducting coun-
ter-piracy operations in the Gulf
of Aden.
An SH-60B helicopter
from the "Proud Warriors" of
embarked Helicopter Anti-
Submarine Squadron Light
(HSL) 42, encountered the
dhow which appeared to be
dead in the water.
The crew, which consisted of
eight civilians, two Yemeni and
six Somali fishermen, were hav-
ing engine trouble and were out
of fuel, batteries and water.
"We became aware of the fact
that a dhow was in trouble,"
said Capt. Mark D. Genung,
Vella Gulf's commanding offi-
cer. "My helicopter, which
was doing surveillance, found
a dhow that was dead in the
water and the crew was signal-
ing them by waving an orange
international symbol saying that
they were in trouble."
Genung said they immediate-
ly closed in, and the crew, who
did not speak English, made
Vella Gulf Sailors realize they
were having a problem with
their batteries. Vella Gulf used
one of its rigid-hull inflatable
boats (RHIB) to send a rescue
and assistance team and evalu-
ate the status of the dhow.
"They had a make-shift sail
up on a ship that should have
had a motor running, and we
decided we were going to render
aid to the vessel," said Gunner's
Mate 2nd Class Matthew


Monaco, a VBSS team member.
"We had our rescue assistance
team along with the VBSS team
board one of our RHIB's along
with medical personnel. The
VBSS team boarded the ship
first to conduct initial safety
inspections."
The boarding team was able
to identify the issue with the
vessel's engine and have some
of the ship's engineers attempt
repairs. Additionally, the dhow
was out of fuel and water, and
the batteries were in need of
charge.
"We provided them fuel and
gave them good, fresh water,"
said Genung. "We evaluated
their medical condition and
also attempted repairs to ensure
that the diesel engine would
run. Unfortunately, the batter-
ies that started the diesel were
dead, and because it was get-
ting close to sunset, we towed
the ship to Yemeni territorial
waters, because that was their
destination.
Overnight, we then recharged
all their batteries, and at the
crack of dawn we put our team
back in the RHIB and with a
great deal of satisfaction got
their engine started on the first
attempt."
"We provided the ship with
about 100 gallons of fuel and
about 60 gallons water," said
Chief Engineman Ian R. Moore,
one of the rescue assistance
team members.
"We just happened to be in
the right place at the right time
and were able to help get the
dhow back underway.

Chaplain's Corner


Have you seen the cartoon
showing a man running from his
burning house while carrying
his golf clubs worth $2,000.00?
As he runs by the firemen he
yells out: "quick, somebody,
please... get in there and rescue
my wife!" (Don't take it per-
sonal, golf lovers.)
While humorous, it really
says a lot about the man, doesn't
it? It says a great deal about
the condition of his heart, about
what is important to him and
about what his beliefs and pri-
orities are. The man depicted
here made a public testimony
about his relationships, his pri-
orities and even his sense of
compassion.
If finding ourselves in simi-
lar circumstances what would
our reaction be? What kinds of
statements would we be mak-

ing about the stuff that we own
and about iho\\" we own our
things?
What will be our public tes-
timony about our relationships,
priorities and our sense for com-


passion and generosity? Yes,
I'm going to write about money
and personal possessions. But,
not to worry! I will not be
soliciting you. I am not on a
fund-raising campaign (Navy
Chaplains are not allowed,
thank God). But I am interested
in bringing to our attention an
area that is near and dear to our
American way of life: owning
stuff and spending money.
I will start by getting real
close and personal: our 2008
Income Tax Return. Now I'm
sure that you are thrilled that
about one year ago most of us
managed to survive the ravages
of the tax season. Economic
data would suggest that the
average American tax payer
works the first three to four
months of the year simply to
pay taxes. So now that most of


us are making the money (not)
I would like to make an appeal
and maybe even challenge our
sense of compassion and gen-
erosity.
In fact, if my memory serves
me right, Schedule A of that
dreaded document has a sec-
tion that reads "Charitable
Contributions." To be sure,
whatever we fill into this sec-
tion will make a public state-
ment (weak or strong) about our
sense of responsibility towards
those less fortunate people in
our communities. Please note
that our sense of generosity (or
lack thereof) will make a state-
ment about the condition of our
heart.
1.Giving to benevolent causes
says that we understand our
place in the world as an instru-
ment of God's grace. Note that


giving can also be measured in
personal time and the donation
of other types of personal assets.
We may even be reminded that
giving can be an act of personal
worship to our God; for I per-
sonally believe that our worship
of God is not complete without
giving!
2.Giving will affirm in a pub-
lic way whether or not we are
possessed by our possessions.
Through giving we declare our
own sense of independence
from the material things that
seek to entrap us in a cycle of
selfishness and self-absorption.
Giving will liberate us from the
"things" that seek to possess us.
3.Giving says that we know
what our part is. Our sense of
generosity and compassion will
acknowledge that we assume
personal responsibility for mak-


ing our contribution. This also
addresses the practical aspects
of giving to our local communi-
ty of faith (i.e., church, temple,
or mosque). It challenges us to
regular and consistent giving in
relation to our income.
I believe that most of us
desire to be generous and com-
passionate. As we engage in the
2009 tax season, I would like to
challenge us to become more
adept at contributing to works
of benevolence and compassion
through giving and/or volunteer
work.
As we do so, we will lighten
the burden of those in need and
make a powerful personal state-
ment.

Avoid Extra Costs Shipping Household Goods


By Nannette Davis
Commander, Fleet & Industr
Centers Public, ;.,
The process to close out a
Permanent Change of Station
(PCS) Household Goods (HHG)
move can often be longer than
expected and often Sailors are
at risk of receiving a bill many
months after the actual move.
There are several aspects of
PCS moves that all Navy per-
sonnel need to be aware of to
help themselves and to help
the Navy. Rear Adm. Andy
Brown, Commander, Fleet
and Industrial Supply Centers
(COMFISCS), is making PCS
move support a top command
priority.
"Too many Sailors are getting
billed for exceeding authorized
weight allowances or making
bad decisions; this hurts our
Sailors and costs the Navy more
to move them," said Brown.
On average, the Navy pro-
cesses 178,000 PCS orders a
year at a total cost of approxi-
mately $800 million. Of this,
almost $500 million is spent
moving household goods,
including privately owned vehi-
cles (POVs).
"Every pound we move costs
the Navy and adds to the poten-
tial for Sailors to pay excess
weight charges," said Brown.
"And, it could take up to two
years from the date of your last
move for the bill to reach you."
Navy members can perform
different types of HHG ship-
ments under most PCS orders
such as personally procured
"do-it-yourself" moves and
government-arranged household
goods, unaccompanied baggage,
and non-temporary (long term)
storage shipments.
For each type, the weight is
counted against the maximum
weight allowance. Weight
allowances are based on a
member's rank and number of
dependents.
"You will pay excess costs
if the combined weight of all
shipments made under a spe-

cific PCS order exceeds the
maximum entitlement for your
rank and dependent status," said
Brown.
"Many factors can contrib-
ute to excess costs, such as
attempted pickup or delivery
charges, exceeding maximum
weight allowances or storage
periods, shipping excess dis-
tances or unauthorized items, or
even accessorial services such
as packing and crating," said
Brown.
"Always consult your local
Personal Property Office [PPO]
before arranging any type of
government-funded household
goods move."
When planning your move,
it is important to avoid or mini-
mize excess costs wherever pos-
sible.
"Consider donating or dis-
carding unneeded HHG items
such as appliances, furniture,
housewares, collectibles, and
building or remodeling sup-
plies. It helps you and it helps
the Navy," Brown said.
Brown also recommends dis-
cussing storage requirements
with a personal property coun-
selor before the move.
"A Navy family might not
own a home at the new duty
station or have a rental property
picked out, so they may need
to move into a temporary resi-
dence," Brown said. "If all of
their household goods can't fit
into the temporary residence,
the government is not obligated
to pay for temporary storage in
transit (SIT) beyond 90 days."
To avoid incurring debts for
government-directed moves,
here are some tips on staying
within your authorized weight
allowance.
*Dispose of unwanted arti-
cles. Shipping unneeded articles
is needlessly expensive; ship-
ping costs vary based on desti-
nation, region, or country.
*Claim professional books,
papers, and equipment
(PBP&E), also referred to as
pro gear. Declare all PBP&E


with breathing and cardiac emer-
gencies for infants and children
(birth to age 8) and adults (age
9 and up), and administering
first aid to all ages. Participants
learn techniques such as rescue
breathing, chest compressions,
CPR and Automated External
Defibrillation; as well as ban-
daging, splinting and treatment
for burns.

weight, even if your estimate
is within your weight allow-
ance. Check to ensure the
weight is reflected on your DD
Form 1299 prior to pickup.
Separate the PBP&E before the
Transportation Service Provider
(carrier) arrives, as they must
mark and weigh the pro gear.
Check your inventory form
periodically to ensure the carrier
annotates PBP&E accurately.
*Request a reweigh if your
pre-move survey estimate is
more than your maximum
allowance. If your shipment
is picked up and exceeds your
weight allowance, ask the desti-
nation PPO to reweigh the ship-
ment. Reweighing the shipment
will not cause any increase in
excess cost to you.
*Avoid shipping excess unac-
companied baggage (UB):
Because UB shipments usually
travel by air, they tend to be
very costly and may result in
higher excess costs per pound.
Avoid shipping unnecessary
items in your UB.
*Minimize temporary storage
in transit (SIT). SIT raises the
overall cost of personal proper-
ty shipments and may increase
the total excess cost. If your
shipment is overweight, have it
delivered within the authorized
timeframe, generally within 90
days of arrival at destination.
*Overseas weight restricted
areas: If you are moving to,
from or between an adminis-
tratively weight restricted area,

ensure any additional weight
allowances are approved before
shipping. Contact your local
PPO for more information.
*Excessive packing: If you
feel the carrier used excessive
packing material for your move,
notify the destination PPO prior
to delivery. They can instruct
the carrier to completely unpack
the shipment and verify the
weight of the packing materials.
*Pay attention to weight
estimates. Remember, weight
estimates made by carriers or
personal property counselors
are not binding; they are for
planning purposes only. Excess
costs are based on the actual
weight of unpacked and uncrat-
ed household goods, and cannot
be accurately determined until
the shipment is packed, picked
up, and weighed at a certified
scale.


So, what should you do if you
receive a notification of indebt-
edness for a household goods
shipment?
Brown, who has paid excess
costs himself, is on a mission to
advise Sailors.
Rc\ ic\% your shipping docu-
ments for each move and pay
special attention to the house-
hold goods inventory sheets,"
advises Brown. "Carefully
check your DD Form 1299

to ensure PBP&E or pro gear
was annotated. Submit all sup-
porting documentation to the
Household Goods Audit Team
(HHG-AT) within 30 days of
the indebtedness notification."

Electrician's Mate 1st Class
Vorocker Daniel was promot-
ed by Cmdr. Stanley Keeve,
Roosevelt's commanding offi-
cer, via the Recruiter Command
Advancement Program (R-
CAP) for Daniel's outstanding
efforts while serving as a Navy
recruiter at his previous com-
mand, Naval Recruiting Depot
Raleigh, N.C.
The R-CAP program is simi-
lar to the CAP program for sea
commands allowing recruit-
ing commands to meritoriously
advance deserving Sailors.
"I am very thankful the Navy
has given me this opportunity,
and hope that I am able to pay
them back by helping out those
Sailors under me as a first class
petty officer," said Daniel.
While stationed as a recruiter,


Daniel served as the recruiter-
in-charge and maintained an
average of 3.5 Sailors recruited
per month, more than double
the national average. He spear-
headed the command's physical
fitness program and volunteered
with youth sports. He was
ranked second among the 53 E-
5s in his recruiting district.
Daniel, a native of Seale, Ala.,
reported to Roosevelt Sept. 13,
2008. His achievements at his
previous command followed
him to his new duty station.
"Roosevelt is overjoyed
to receive every new Sailor,
especially one of Daniel's cali-
ber," said Lt. Brandon Comes,
Roosevelt's chief engineer. "I
am really looking forward to
seeing what he can accomplish
in the engineering department."
Daniel's expertise in ship-
board electrical systems plays a
vital role in Roosevelt's mission
in support of maritime security
operations and national tasking.
His current command appreci-
ates his leadership and looks
forward to his continued suc-
cesses.


"EM1 is a great worker who
cares about mentoring the junior
guys in the division and pro-
vides a great example for them,"
said Ensign Michele Rollins,
Roosevelt's electrical officer.
"He's not afraid to speak his
mind, but he does so in a highly
respectful and constructive way.
He's always friendly and help-
ful, and he's definitely been an
asset to Roosevelt in the short
time he's been aboard."
Roosevelt is part of the Iwo
Jima Amphibious Ready Group
deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet
area of operations to conduct
maritime security operations
(MSO). MSO helps develop
security in the maritime envi-
ronment. From security arises
stability that results in global
economic prosperity. MSO
complements the counterter-
rorism and security efforts of
regional nations and seek to dis-
rupt violent extremists' use of
the maritime environment as a
venue for attack or to transport
personnel, weapons, or other
material.


Pirates
searched it and seized weapons,
including a rocket-propelled-
grenade launcher."
The boarding parties took the
pirates aboard Vella Gulf. They
will remain aboard the ship
until they are transferred to the
supply ship USNS Lewis and
Clark. U.S. officials are collect-
ing the necessary evidence and
will make a decision regard-
ing further transfers, Whitman
said. The United States signed


a memorandum with the gov-
ernment of Kenya to prosecute
pirates.
"We've not yet had the chance
to work out all the details of
the implementation," Whitman
said.
The spokesman stressed that
these men are not prisoners of
war and are suspected pirates
conducting criminal activity.
"One of the ways we want to
stem this type of activity is to


From Page 1
ensure there is a cost to being
pirates," he said. "We have pro-
ceeded with countries in the
region to identify ways to bring
them to justice."
Anti-piracy American forc-
es in the region are operating
under a United Nations Security
Council resolution. Countries
and organizations around the
world are contributing to this
effort.

Pakistan's Deputy Chief Visits HSL-48


By Lt.j.g. Kevin Vannieu-
wenhoven
HSL-48 PA
The World Famous Vipers

hosting a tour for some visit-
ing Pakastani Naval Officers on
Feb. 11.
Upon arrival at HSL-48,
Rear Adm. Tanveer Faiz, the
Deputy Chief of Naval Staff
(Operations) for Pakistan,
was greeted by the Deputy
Commodore of Helicopter
Maritime Strike Wing Atlantic

The tour group of 10
Pakistani Naval Officers and
their NAVAIR escorts proceed-
ed through the HSL-48 spaces
led by Lt. Cmdr. David "Fook"
Loo, the HSL-48 Maintenance
officer.
The group was taken through
various maintenance spaces
including Maintenance Control,
the PR (parachute rigger) shop,
various Detachment spaces, and
the hangar to gain insight into
daily operations and mainte-
nance of the SH-60B Seahawk
aircraft.
Within the hangar, the
group was given an up close
look at Venom 500, as well as
Mayport's flight line. A few of
the Pakistani Officers took the
opportunity to jump in the pilot
and co-pilot seats for photo-
ops with Aviation Electronics
Technician 3rd Class Jacob Ross,
and they were also briefed on
the SH-60B's capabilities by Lt.
Carlos "Los Lobos" Esquivel,
a recent IA returnee from
Southern Afghanistan.
After completion of their time
with HSL-48, the group contin-
ued their tour of Naval Station

Fitness
The MWR Fitness Team has a
new program to put a "RO.W."
in your workout.


At the beginning of each
week, on Monday, an exercise
Plan of the Week will be post-
ed at both the gymnasium and
Surfside Fitness center. It will
be advertised on the workout
mirrors and by the schedules at
both facilities.
It will include three focuses:
Cardio, Strength and Stretch.
Each week the focus will
change, highlighting various
pieces of equipment, exercises
and muscle groups. The pro-
gram was created to educate
patrons on the usage of vari-


ous machines, the execution of
different strength exercises and
effective stretching regimens
for muscle groups.
During their floor times
the trainers, LaPlace, Traci,
Ruthie, Mia and Nancy, will be
encouraging patrons to follow
the P.O.W. The trainers will
demonstrate and walk patrons
through the various focuses.
PO.W. is a great opportunity
for all personnel attached to the
station to try something new at
the facilities; shaking up their
normal routine, allowing for a


safer, more effective, less time
consuming caloric burn. Floor
times for trainers are posted at
both facilities. Keep those New
Year's resolutions flowing by
following the PRO.W.

Jax Guardian Awarded Prestigious Honor


From Seventh District Public. --
Coast Guard Lt. Andrea
Parker, 30, chief of enforcement
for Sector Jacksonville, was
awarded the 2009 Department
of Defense African-American
History Month Recognition
Award.
"I am humbled, honored,
and very appreciative to be in
receipt of such an award," said
Parker. "However, I could not
have done this without the sup-


port of my fellow Coast Guard
crewmembers around me."
The award is given annually
to a member from each service
that exemplifies the ideals of
their military core values and
provides exceptional service to
critical Department of Defense
Missions.
Parker provided Coast Guard
security crews that oversaw the
safe and efficient shipment of
military cargo ships that trans-


ported cargo from the Port of
Jacksonville and Port Canaveral
to the Northern Arabian Gulf in
support of Operations Iraqi and
Enduring Freedom. In addition,
Parker spends several hours
a month tutoring students at
Mayport Elementary School.
Parker, a native of Albany,
Ga., is a 2001 graduate of the
U.S. Coast Guard Academy in
New London, Conn. In the spir-
it of African-American History
Month, Parker has made history
herself. She was the first black
student to receive a degree in



Depend On Us For Life- ) 3
P",rnksn


engineering from the Coast
Guard Academy.
"This organization has done
so much for me and enabled
me to travel to so many places
around the globe and interact
with so many diverse people,"
said Parker. "The Coast Guard
has never closed any doors for
me."
This summer, Parker will
attend graduate school and fol-
low up her master's degree
by teaching organizational
leadership at the Coast Guard
Academy.

A wide variety of topics are
included in the new list of gen-
eral military training (GMT)

materials for the first six GMT
topics have been distributed to
commands and are also posted
on Navy Knowledge Online
(NKO). Seven additional topics
will be delivered to commands
in March and will also be avail-
able for download on NKO.
"The effectiveness of this
training will be enhanced by
the presence and participation
of officers and chief petty offi-
cers, who can mentor their fel-
low shipmates by passing on
knowledge of the Navy's Core
Values through the four main
GMT subject areas," said Cmdr.
George Michaels, training direc-
tor for the Center for Personal
and Professional Development.
The development command
oversees curriculum updates
and manages the development
and distribution of GMT materi-
als for command use throughout
the fleet.
GMT is non-occupational
general training, taught at the
command level, and is required
periodically for all Navy uni-
formed personnel.
Topics are values-based,
emphasizing commitment to
integrity and effective decision
making. Each of the 2009 topics
falls under one of the four sub-
ject areas: Navy heritage, her-
sonal growth and professional

cally recorded in Fleet Training

DeCA Help Promote Financial Fitness Through Military Saves


By Kevin L. Robinson
DeCA public ** specialist
Navy service member Karen
Amador Lesetmoe described
herself as someone who had
gotten in over her head in debt.
Between credit card debt, a car
loan and a low-paying job that
made shopping for a food a con-
stant challenge, the single mom
needed a new direction.
So she went on a diet -
financially that is. "I decided
I'd had enough of living pay-
check to paycheck and worry-
ing about money all the time,"
said Lesetmoe, whose testimo-
ny to get out of debt is post-
ed with others on http://www.
MilitarySaves.org. "When I
paid off my credit cards, I didn't
relax and fall back into my old


spending habit, I was on a mis-
sion to save money. I opened
a savings account and started
putting all the money I would
have spent on my debt into my
savings."
Lesetmoe's story of financial
distress is all too real for many
people in uniform and their
families. To help reinforce its
message for the military com-
munity to be financially fit,
DoD has proclaimed Military
Saves Week, Feb. 22 March
1. The Defense Commissary
Agency has joined other DoD
agencies and installation finan-
cial institutions to echo the ben-
efits of reducing debt and build-
ing wealth.
Military Saves was devel-
oped by DoD's nonprofit part-


ner, the Consumer Federation
of America, to enlist the mili-
tary in a yearlong commitment
to financial responsibility. To
symbolize that commitment,
the military community mili-
tary members, retirees, family
members, government civilians
and contractors is urged to
visit www.MilitarySaves.org
and take the Saver Pledge. The
Web site offers free financial


services and suggestions to help
save money.
"Extending the paychecks
of military members with sav-
ings of 30 percent or more is
the reason the commissary
benefit exists," said Philip E.
Sakowitz Jr., DeCA director and
chief executive officer. "So it
was a perfect fit for the Defense
Commissary Agency to partner
with DoD to help military mem-


bers and their families focus on
their financial well-being by
joining the Military Saves cam-
paign."
As part of DeCA's partner-
ship with Military Saves, com-
missaries will work with instal-
lation financial counselors to
arrange sa, ings" tours of the
stores during Military Saves
Week. The tours are designed
to help shoppers learn how they


T R I C A R E


Faily A-lts andn1

EVLY I. EREAD.D IPA


can stretch their grocery bud-
gets with tips that include tak-
ing advantage of price promo-
tions and coupons. Customers
will see Saver Pledge posters
in commissaries and links on
the DeCA Web site, http://www.
commissaries.com, to help pro-
mote the savings tours and the
Military Saves campaign.

A Healthy Heart For A Healthy Life


From TRICARE
Heart disease is the number
one cause of death in the United
States of America. According to
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, almost 700,000
people die from heart disease
in the United States each year.
February is American Heart
Month and TRICARE encour-
ages all beneficiaries to reduce
their risks for developing heart
disease.
American Heart Month is the
perfect time to learn about car-
diovascular health and risk fac-
tors and warning signs of heart
disease. It's also a great time
to evaluate lifestyle choices to
ensure a healthy heart.
The National Institutes of
Health (NIH) lists six key steps
to help reduce the risk of having
a heart attack:
Stop smoking
Lower high blood pressure
Reduce high cholesterol
Aim for a healthy weight
Be physically active each day
Manage diabetes
Stop Smoking
Smoking cigarettes signifi-
cantly increases the risk of heart
attacks in men and women.
Talking with a primary care
manager (PCM) to develop an
action plan will help ensure suc-
cess in efforts to quit smoking
and the Department of Defense
has a program that is only a
click away online.


The Web site http://www.
ucanquit2.org provides resourc-
es to help with quitting, every
step of the way. In February,
the site is targeting smokeless
tobacco during "Through With
( icl Week," Feb. 15-21 and
the "Great American Spit Out"
on Feb. 19.
Lower High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also
known as hypertension, forces
the heart to work harder and
increases the risk of developing
heart disease, as well as kid-
ney disease and stroke. To help
prevent or control high blood
pressure, the NIH recommends
losing excess weight, exercis-
ing regularly, following a heart-
healthy eating plan that includes
foods lower in salt and sodium,
limiting alcohol intake, and tak-
ing prescribed medication.
Reduce High Cholesterol
High cholesterol can also be
reduced with a healthy eating
plan, exercise and shedding
excess weight. If these are not
enough to lower the cholesterol
level, there are medications that
may help.
Aim for a Healthy Weight
For anyone who is over-
weight, there is an increased
chance of having a heart attack.
According to the NIH, even a
10 percent weight loss can help
lower the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. For los-

oping a healthy and successful

Visit www.tricare.mil/getfit
for information and links to bet-
ter nutrition, exercise and more.
Be Physically Active Each
Day
The NIH suggests 30 minutes
of a moderate-intensity exer-
cise on most days, preferably
each day of the week. Exercise
reduces the risk of heart-relat-
ed problems, including heart
attacks. Exercise can also
improve cholesterol levels, help
control high blood pressure and
manage weight and can help
control diabetes.
TRICARE suggests beneficia-
ries talk with their PCM before
starting an exercise program.

Strong Bones


For Strong Health


From TRICARE
Prevention of bone disease
begins at birth and is a lifelong
challenge. According to the U.
S. Surgeon General, each year
about 1.5 million people suffer
bone fractures due to osteopo-
rosis. Bone health is important
for overall health and quality
of life. TRICARE encourages
beneficiaries to incorporate a
few things into their lives to
help develop strong and healthy
bones.
Bones protect against inju-
ries, protect organs, provide a
frame for our bodies and store
minerals such as calcium. Weak
bones may develop osteoporo-
sis, which increases bone frac-
tures in parts of the body such
as the hips, wrist and spine.
Fractures are difficult to man-
age, especially for the elderly,
since it can cause loss of inde-
pendence and lack of mobility
and function. There are many
things TRICARE beneficiaries
can do to support their own
bone health, as well as that of
their family members.
Beneficiaries can develop
strong bones by following a
bone-healthy diet, participat-
ing in regular weight-bearing
exercise and avoiding tobacco.
Primary care managers (PCMs)
can guide beneficiaries in mak-
ing choices that promote bone
health.
Eating a calcium rich diet is
important too. According to the
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), calcium is a
mineral needed by the body for
healthy bones, teeth, and proper
function of the heart, muscles,
and nerves.
Good sources of calcium
include:
6NI "WdJf tl nh^i


Green leafy vegetables, such
as broccoli and kale
Dairy products, such as low-
fat or non-fat milk, cheese and
yogurt
Calcium-fortified foods, such
as orange juice, soy beverages
and cereal
Nuts, such as almonds and
sesame seeds
Visit http://www.mypyra-
midtracker.gov to calculate the
amount of calcium found in cer-
tain foods.
Exercise has many far-reach-
ing benefits, including strength-
ening bones. Regular weight-
bearing exercises help reach
and maintain peak bone mass,
the highest level of bone den-
sity. According to the CDC, a
person with high bone mass as a
young adult will be more likely
to have a higher bone mass later
in life. But keep in mind that
it is never too late to develop
healthy bones. Making healthy
lifestyle choices later in life
can still have a positive impact.
Effective weight-bearing exer-
cises include walking, jogging
or running, weight lifting and
stair climbing.
Sixty-five is the recom-
mended age for women to get
a bone test to measure the risk
of osteoporosis; however, ben-
eficiaries should talk with their
doctors about getting tested ear-
lier if there is a family history.
TRICARE covers bone den-
sity studies for numerous rea-
sons, such as the diagnosis and
monitoring of osteoporosis and
osteopenia.

Lt. Drops Bomb On Guinness World Record


By Army Sgt.
Rodney Foliente
Special to American Forces Press
Service
Servicemembers and most
runners probably would not be
very impressed with a mile run
in just over 10 minutes. But
add to the equation a 75-pound
bomb suit made of stiff materi-
al, factor in the added heat from
wearing it and add a pair of rub-
ber over-boots, and it becomes
a different story.
Navy Lt. Jonathan Kehoe,
commander, Platoon 602, 63rd
Battalion, Explosive Ordnance


Disposal Mobilization Unit 6,
based out of Little Creek, Va.,
and attached to the 4th Infantry
Division's 2nd Brigade Combat
Team, decided to run here Feb.
2 for a Guinness World Record
for the fastest mile in a bomb
suit at Camp Echo.
With a crowd of their Iraqi
EOD counterparts, servicemem-
bers and U.S. contractors cheer-
ing him on, Kehoe completed
the mile in 10 minutes and 13
seconds, beating his target time
by almost three minutes.
But the true purpose of the
event was to draw a crowd for


a fund-raiser benefitting the
EOD Memorial and Scholarship
Foundation and to commemo-
rate fallen EOD members.
"We as a team decided we
wanted to do something spe-
cial for the EOD memorial,"
said Kehoe, who comes from
Leadville, Colo. "The EOD
memorial celebrates the lives of
[EOD members] who've made
the ultimate sacrifice to bring
the freedom that [many people]
take for granted every single
day. It's a tribute to them, and
our way to give back to their
families and show them that


we're thinking of them."
The memorial, located at
Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., was
built in 1999 and features the
names of fallen EOD members
since the declaration of World
War II.
Kehoe and the rest of his
team said they were glad to
be able to help raise funds and
honor the fallen in their own
way. Some of them commented
that although remembering their
deaths is a somber time, remem-
bering their lives and their self-
less dedication should be some-
thing to celebrate.
Members of the 8th Iraqi
Army Division's EOD team
were invited to the event as
the guests of honor, and they
cheered Kehoe on with the rest
of the crowd. One Iraqi sol-
dier served as an official timer,
and others even ran part of the
mile to show their support and
encouragement.
The U.S. and Iraqi EOD
teams have a great relationship,


Kehoe said. Together, they've
detonated a dozen or more
explosive devices since Kehoe's
unit arrived in Iraq three months
ago.
Kehoe said he loves his job
and is excited to be able to work
with the Iraqi security forces
and teach them how to do their
jobs better for their own safety
as well as that of their co-work-
ers and civilians.
"I've been very impressed
with them and their ability to do
EOD," he said. They're profes-
sionals, and the 8th Iraqi Army
[EOD team] is the team that all
other army units are looking to
as an example of where they
need to be."
Kehoe said he trained for
the event for two months,
with EOD members from both
nationalities encouraging and
helping him during that time.
"People don't realize how
much physical training we go
through as EOD. He made us all
proud. With the crowd cheering


and all, it gave him a big boost.
He surpassed what I expected,"
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class
William Young, of Platoon 602,
said.
Now, it's just a matter of
whether the Guinness World
Records will accept the record,
said Kehoe, who already holds
one record for the fastest mile
while carrying an egg on a
spoon. Either way, he said, it
was worth it to continue build-
ing the relationships with the
Iraqis, get the Camp Echo res-
idents out to honor the fallen
EOD members and earn money
for the memorial and scholar-
ship funds.
"I just wanted to tell the fam-
ily members of those who have
given the ultimate sacrifice
that we pray for you every day
and we can never do enough to
thank you," he said.

Division's 2nd Brigade Combat
Team public affairs office.

Troop Surge in Afghanistan


Unlikely To Surpass 30,000


By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
The top U.S. military officer
said Feb. 9 he doesn't expect
the United States to deploy
more than about 30,000 addi-
tional troops to Afghanistan,
emphasizing the need for the
State Department and other U.S.
agencies to do their part as well.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, told junior soldiers from
the 10th Mountain Division that
2009 will be a pivotal year for
Afghanistan that will require
more than just military might.
"It has gotten worse in
Afghanistan," he told the sol-
diers, some recently returned
from Iraq and others expecting
to deploy to Afghanistan next
year. "Violence is up, [and] the
Taliban is back."
In addition, he said, gover-
nance at the local, district, pro-
vincial and national levels "is
not going well" and "has to be
improved."
"Getting that governance
piece right as fast as we can is
absolutely vital," Mullen said,
particularly with elections
scheduled this summer.
He noted that although the
military inevitably will be
involved, it's not the agency


best suited to assist with gover-
nance. The same, he said, holds
true with helping Afghanistan
improve economic develop-
ment.
"It is not possible to win this
or succeed in Afghanistan mili-
tarily alone," Mullen told the
group.
So as the military expands the
force in Afghanistan probably
not much beyond the 20,000
to 30,000 numbers being dis-
cussed, Mullen said more non-
military enablers will be need-
ed, too.
"It has to be met with a com-
mensurate surge from other
agencies, particularly the State
Department, in order for us
to start generating success in
2009, which is a critical year,"
he said.
Mullen praised the soldiers
for the successes they helped to
bring about in Iraq.
"You have made a difference.
You have turned it around in
Iraq," he said.
Success wasn't in sight 12 to
18 months ago, he said, but now
it is. In a separate session with
family readiness group volun-
teers, he tied the success of the
surge directly to the men and
women on the ground.
"It could not have been done


without the 10th Mountain
Division" and the rest of the
U.S. military engaged there, he
said.
"I've been there a lot and
seen the difference," he told the
spouses. "It gets a little bit bet-
ter day by day, and we are very
hopeful that we can continue to
draw forces down in Iraq and
that Iraqi people [will] contin-
ue to assume responsibility for
their own country."
But Mullen reminded the sol-
diers, "We are not done in Iraq."
Al-Qaida remains a problem,
but is "greatly diminished," he
said.
Governance is improving, as
demonstrated by the success-
ful late-January elections. Iraqi
security forces are improving.
The 10th Mountain Division's
3rd Brigade Combat Team
was rerouted from Iraq to
Afghanistan last fall. Its sol-
diers in Task Force Spartan
are now deployed to eastern
Afghanistan, taking up posi-
tions that until now had little
coalition presence.
"I expect there will be more
of that over the next several
months, although I don't have
the details of that," Mullen told
the troops. "That's something
the president decides."

Southern Partnership Renovates Communities


By MC1 Daniel Ball
U.S. Fourth Fleet
Sailors from Southern
Partnership Station (SPS)
helped construct several homes
in the jungle and assisted in the
renovation of a former convent
in the heart of Panama City
during community relations
(COMREL) events Feb. 7-10.
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 and volunteers
from the U.S. Embassy moved
tons of sand, cement, rocks
and bricks up a mountainside,
entirely by hand. The materiel
is for a Habitat for Humanity
site near Las Cumbres, Panama
where a new village was being
constructed in the jungle.
The U.S. Ambassador to
Panama, Barbara Stephenson,
stopped at the site to view the


work in progress.
"The Navy's COMRELs are
a chance to do good in all kinds
of ways," said Stephenson.
"You play an important part in
achieving goals."
Volunteer work contin-
ued when Sailors showed up
at a centuries-old convent in
the Casco Antiguo district of
Panama City. The convent will
be renovated and turned into
spaces for community services
such as after-school programs.
Sailors jumped right into two
days of debris clearing, power-
washing, paint scraping and
welding.
"I spent all day welding rebar
into security bars for the win-
dows," said Seaman Timothy
Dawson, from Cleveland, Ohio.
"This will prevent trespass-
ers from entering the building
and looting or squatting. I'm a
welder by trade so the two days
I spent there was more fun than
it was work. I had a blast."
By the end of the second day,
the SPS team's work was evi-
dent.
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 Caribbean, Central and
South American regions and
interact with partner nation
navies within the maritime
environment. Various opera-
tions include counter-illicit traf-
ficking, theater security coop-
eration, humanitarian assistance
and disaster relief, military-to-
military interaction and bilateral
and multinational training.
Fourth Fleet is the num-
bered fleet assigned to NAVSO,
exercising operational con-
trol of assigned forces in the
SOUTHCOM area of focus.

Navy Directs Network


Security Training Day


By MC2(SW) Christopher Koons
Naval Network Warfare Command Public --
The Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Gary
Roughead has directed all Navy activities to con-
duct a network security training and awareness
day no later than Feb. 28. Every Navy mem-
ber who uses government computers including
Sailors, civilians and contractors are required to
complete this training.
The CNO mandated this policy due to wide-
spread non-compliance with established guide-
lines, regulations and directives concerning the
use of Navy networks and multiple malware
infections that have recently occurred throughout
the Navy.
"The recent setting of Information Operations
Condition (INFOCON) Level 3 set the stage
for the CNO to mandate this training," said Lt.
Cmdr. Damen Hofheinz, Naval Network Warfare
Command's (NETWARCOM) deputy for infor-
mation assurance.
"It will heighten everyone's awareness of elec-
tronic threats and the safe computing practic-
es that are needed to ensure the security of the
Global Information Grid."
INFOCON is a comprehensive defense posture
and response system based on the number and
level of threats posed to military information
systems. It has five parts, with INFOCON Level
5 being the lowest threat to military networks and
Level 1 being the greatest threat condition.
Commands will be required to conduct training
for all users in the following areas: removable
media, anti-phishing, safe home computing and
4) personally identifiable information (PII) han-
dling procedures.


Members will also review their command-
er's expectations regarding user accountability
and network security. The ultimate goal is to
increase awareness and ensure compliance with
Department of Defense information assurance
policies and procedures.
"Bad practices such as using thumb drives
to transfer data between domains, not digitally
signing e-mails with links and attachments, and
people opening spam and phishing e-mails are
all areas that will be addressed," said Hofheinz.
"It will increase awareness of these practices and
the vulnerabilities that can arise from them and
will hopefully stop people from doing them in the
future."
NETWARCOM is scheduled to conduct its
training Feb. 23. Vice Adm. Denby Starling,
NETWARCOM commander, anticipates that all
personnel will come away from it with a better
sense of what must be done to increase network
security.
"Recent events have reinforced the continuing
need for network operators who are aware of the
threat, are well trained in network security guide-
lines, and whose command leadership has high
expectations for compliance and accountability,"
Starling said.
"This Focus Day is your opportunity to improve
the Navy's overall network security posture by
increasing the overall level of security awareness
in your organization as well as ensuring that your
subordinate commanders understand and reflect
your expectations regarding their responsibility in
setting, maintaining and enforcing the high opera-
tional standards necessary to keep our networks
secure."

Incentives, vocations,

the world you wouldn't
investigate this opportu-
nity. This week I'm hir-
ing for sales in our
