From The Department ofDefense
The Department of Defense
(DoD) announced March 20
details of approximately 3,000
military construction and facili-
ty improvement projects funded
by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and
Naval Station Mayport is on the
list.
According to the Department
ofDefense Military Construction
(MILCON) Expenditure Plan,
just above $10 million has been
specifically allocated for a Child
Development Center (CDC).
NS Mayport MWR Director
Lonnie Kenney said the new


CDC will replace the on-base
location that services only 60
children. The new center will
have an occupancy of 221 chil-
dren and will have an emphasis
on infants and toddlers, he said.
"Infants and toddlers ... are
what we have on our wait-
ing list, Kenney said. "We
are preparing for the future of
Mayport."
The new CDC will be locat-
ed beside the current off-base
center, off Assisi Road, with an
estimated contract award date of
September 2009 and an estimat-
ed start date of March 2010 and
completion date of June 2011.


Also in the MILCON Plan,
almost $20 million has been
allocated for all Navy Region
Southeast Florida installa-
tions to have advance meters
installed.
According to the plan, this
project installs electric meters,
gas meters, water meters, steam
meters and shadow meter-
ing for all incoming utilities.
Another $34.7 million has been
earmarked to install photovol-
taic systems in Navy Region
Southeast Florida Installations.
Photovoltaic is renewable ener-
gy systems that will be installed
on rooftops of various facilities

Navy At

By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
After years of downsizing, the
U.S. Navy has nearly achieved
its end-strength goal of 329,000
Sailors, a senior naval officer
said here last week.
"For the Navy, force stabi-
lization marks a transitional
period, where we are now fin-
ished downsizing," Rear Adm.
Daniel P. Holloway, director
of the Navy's military person-
nel, plans and policy division,
told Pentagon Channel and
American Forces Press Service
reporters.
The Navy has been reducing
its ranks by 8,000 to 10,000 ser-
vicemembers a year for the past
six to seven years, Holloway
said, noting his service now is
close to reaching its designed
end-strength goal of about


Personnel Goal


329,000 Sailors.
"We're currently halfway
through the fiscal year within
1 percent of that goal in stabi-
lizing the force," the two-star
admiral said.
And, as the Navy stabilizes its
force, Holloway said, it wants to
recruit and retain only the best
and brightest Sailors to support
the nation's maritime strategy
and the joint warfighter.
Holloway said he hears posi-
tive feedback about today's
"excellent" Sailors. The Navy's
Perform-to-Serve program
that's been in place for years,
he said, evaluates sailors' duty
performance to ascertain their
capability for continued service.
Qualified Sailors also may
have the opportunity to switch
to high-demand jobs at re-
enlistment time, Holloway said.


Today's sailors are serving in
Afghanistan and Iraq, he said,
as members of provincial recon-
struction teams and improvised
explosive device suppression
crews, with civil affairs groups,
and in security and detention
operations.
"We're getting a record num-
ber of volunteers now" to fill
such billets, Holloway said,
adding that he's hearing "that
the Army and Marine Corps"
appreciate the Sailors' contribu-
tions.
The Navy employs two types
of assignment categories while
providing Sailors to serve in
overseas slots, Holloway said.
The individual augmentee pro-
cess, he said, is used to fill posi-
tions on a very short notice.

at naval installations in Florida.
The renewable energy systems
will connect to the low voltage
side of the building transformer
and does not include energy
storage. This project will reduce
the overall recurring utility costs
in Navy shore facilities.
The $5.9 billion budget for
these construction and repair
projects represents the bulk of
the approximately $7.4 billion
in defense-related funding pro-
vided by the ARRA signed by
President Barack Obama on
Feb. 17, 2009.
DoD Recovery Act funds
will be spent at DoD facilities


in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Guam, and Puerto
Rico. The primary purpose of
these funds is to create jobs and
stimulate economic activity
across the country. All projects
focus on making much-needed
improvements to military instal-
lations and include hospitals,
child development centers, and
housing for troops and their
families.
The two largest DoD proj-
ects to be constructed under the
ARRA will be new hospitals
at Camp Pendleton, Calif., and

Gettysburg


In Pirate Hunt


From Commande, U.S. Naval Forces
Central Command Public I .
The guided-missile cruiser
USS Gettysburg (CG 64) appre-
hended six suspected pirates
in the Gulf of Aden March 20
after responding to a distress
call from two nearby merchant
vessels.
At approximately 4:30 a.m.,
the Philippines-flagged Motor
Vessel Bison Express sent a dis-
tress call to all ships in the area
reporting they were being pur-
sued by a small skiff contain-
ing six heavily-armed suspected
pirates.
Gettysburg closed imme-
diately on the motor vessel's
location and intercepted a skiff
matching the description given
by the crew of the motor vessel.
An SH-60B helicopter assigned
to Helicopter Anti-subma-
rine Squadron Light (HSL) 46
embarked aboard Gettysburg,
flew overhead the skiff and
reported seeing objects being
thrown overboard.
A Gettysburg visit, board,
search and seizure team (VBSS)
subsequently conducted a con-
sensual boarding along with
members of U.S. Coast Guard


Legal Detachment (LEDET)
409 and apprehended the six
suspected pirates. They were
transferred onto the amphibious
assault ship USS Boxer (LHD
4), the flagship and afloat stag-
ing base (AFSB) for Combined
Task Force (CTF) 151.
After evaluating the situation,
CTF 151 determined there was
not sufficient evidence to hold
the suspects for prosecution
and released them back to their
small boat.
The attack on Bison Express
was the second attack by yes-
terday on commercial shipping
vessels in the Gulf of Aden.
Earlier this morning, suspected
pirates attacked Motor Vessel
Sea Green. The motor vessel
fired several warning flares at
the suspected pirates as they
approached, and successfully
warded off the attack.
CTF 151 is a multinational
task force that conducts counter-
piracy operations in and around
the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea,
Indian Ocean and the Red Sea
and was established to create
a lawful maritime order and
develop security in the maritime
environment.

CO Column


This week I want to start by
thanking everyone who played
a part in the visit of Governor
Charlie Crist who held a town
all meeting at our base gym.
Your professionalism, and
attention to detail was superb.
Special thanks to MWR's John
Aimone and Lonnie Kenney for
setting up the gym and all the
security folks who took care of
all the security logistics. From
Ground Electronics to base ser-
vices, everyone pitched in and
really made us shine. Thank you
so much.
Welcome back goes out to
the men and women of the USS
Roosevelt and HSL-42
Detachment 3. They came
home yesterday after a seven
month Fifth Fleet Deployment
supporting Maritime Security


Capt. Aaron Bowman
Operations. Welcome home and
congratulations on a successful
deployment.
The St. Johns River area is
a bit cleaner thanks to volun-
teers who armed themselves


with trash bags and Navy spirit
last weekend during the annual
clean up. Was hoping to have
more but thank you to all who
showed up. If you weren't
aware, the park outside gate 5
is Navy property and we lease
it to the city so it's always nice
to see it looking good. We col-
lected a double size dumpster
of trash and filled it over. It's
amazing to me the way people
just throw trash out without
thinking but it prides me that
there are those who think noth-
ing of picking up other people's
trash to make the community
look better. Please remember
to help keep our base looking
great.
Thanks also goes out to
our Fleet and Family Support
Center for hosting last week's


Navy Tri-base job fair at
Jacksonville's Morocco Shrine
Center. National and local
companies were there, and
more than 1,100 attendees took
advantage of the opportunity to
get a feel of what is out there
for employment.
We have kicked-offthis year's
Navy and Marine Corps Relief
Society fund drive and the chal-
lenge is on. The drive ends
April 17 and this year our goal
is $200,000. Last year, Mayport
assisted nearly 1,500 clients and
provided loans and grants total-
ing more than $925,000. Each
and every dollar donated will
go to help a shipmate or family
get through a tough time. I wish
there wasn't a need for this pro-
gram, but the fact is it is vital.
You never know when the shoe


will drop and you will need
some help. Please participate in
this very worthy program.
If you need some inspiration,
then you should get your tickets
now to see Antwone Fisher on
April 16 at Ocean Breeze. His
story was featured in the Denzel
Washington movie about a
rough start to life and thanks
to Navy mentorship, a positive
life change. Antwone Fisher's
book is a New York Times best-
seller and I'm sure that his story
and personal reflections will be
amazing. Tickets are on sale
now at our ITT office and must
be purchased no later than April
10.
Last but not least, lets talk
safety. We just completed our
mock OSHA visit and the real
deal is May 18-21. Please take


a round turn on your ESAMS
training, and if you're not VPP
smart by now, you need to be.
Our Safety Department is put-
ting a lot of effort in getting our
base ready, and I am confident
you will all make this upcom-
ing inspection a success. Most
of the courses on ESAMS do
not take very long to complete,
and all of it is information you
should know to make your work
and home a safer environment.
Thanks you for the continued
suggestions, complaints, and
recognition of everything on
this base. Keep those sugges-
tions rolling in to the CO's sug-
gestion box located at the base
galley, or email them to aaron.
bowman@navy mil. I will get
back to you.


I am a notorious channel
surfer. My wife and children
will testify to this. I remem-
ber madly surfing through a
number of channels one eve-
ning in 1998 and coming to a
quick stop when I ran across
a very familiar face. It was
Larry King, America's foremost
interviewer. What captured my
attention was that this time the
role was reversed. In this par-
ticular program Larry King was
not the interviewer. Rather, he
was the interviewee and what a
revealing interview it was!
Mr. King was talking about
his new book, Powerful Prayers
(Renaissance Books, Los
Angeles, 1998). In the process
he was revealing aspects of his
spiritual beliefs. He confessed
to being an agnostic and having
a sense of disconnection from
God (if there is one). Mr. King


Chaplain Joe Molina

expressed his ambiguity about
an "after-life." He expressed
envy for those who pray with
the assurance of being heard.
However, in his book he does
confess that he prayed once:

God will know what we need
even when we may not know
ourselves.
Do you feel frustrated? Pray
the prayer of frustration. Do
you feel speechless? Pray the
prayer of silence. Sometimes
we need to be quiet long enough
to hear God's "still small
voice." Do you feel joy? Pray
the prayer of joy! God will take
our language and interpret and
translate it into spiritual power.
In prayer, the mask is down.
Speak your heart to God. Don't
worry about awkward words.
Don't worry about waxing elo-
quent. Don't even worry about
looking good or smelling good.
God understands the inadequacy
of our language and translates it


into the language of the spirit.
Does God answer prayer? All
the time! God's answer may be
"yes", "no", "not yet" or there
may be silence. If we don't
understand this we may start
acting like a bunch of spoiled
kids.
Yes, I will pray with an active
faith. I will pray in the power
of God's spirit. But, I will not
insult God by telling him what
to do. "God's will be done"
needs to be the foundation of
our prayer. By praying in this
manner we prepare to live with-
in God's will.
Richard Foster in his book
Celebration of Discipline states
"Prayer catapults us into the
frontier of the spiritual life"
(Harper, San Francisco, 1998).
Prayerfully yours! / Chaps


_H omefront in Focus


Countries Sign UNITAS Gold MOUs


By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor
Yes, you read that right, I
am deploying well, sort of. I
have been invited to be the first
spouse embed blogger. Aside
from the bragging rights as the
first spouse embed. I am very
excited, and honored to ride the
ship, see the mission and write,
blog and broadcast my experi-
ence from the ship.
I will be riding the USNS
COMFORT (www.comfort.
navy.mil), the Navy's east
coast based hospital ship. The
USNS COMFORT is deploying
as part of Continuing Promise
2009 (www.projecthope.org).
Continuing Promise 2009 is a
public-private venture with the
Navy, Inter-Agency and other
non-governmental organizations
(NGO's) to provide health care,
health education and humanitar-
ian assistance throughout Latin
America. Volunteers of nurses,
nurse educators, nurse practitio-
ners, midwives, doctors, even
veterinarians, will live and work
on board the USNS COMFORT.
Some teams will work onshore
at the port countries during the
deployment. The mission is to
demonstrate, through humani-
tarian assistance and medical
services, U.S. commitment and
support to Latin America and
the region of the Caribbean.
I will be joining the ship at
one of its humanitarian stops,
riding the ship to its next
humanitarian port call, and
observing the mission for sev-
eral days before returning to
the United States. I will be on
board the USNS COMFORT a
total of eight days. During my
'deployment' I will attempt a
PQS (Personal Qualification


Standard). At present the plan
is to attempt to qualify as a 'line
handler'. Wish me luck!
I will be blogging from the
ship daily and hope to give you
a new perspective on what our
Sailors experience and do on
board. Look for my videos and
podcasts...I'll be interviewing
Continuing Promise '09 vol-
unteers and ship's company
throughout my stay.
While we are talking about
deployments, this is the first of
two embed opportunities that
have been presented to me.
Later this summer I hope to be
a 'spouse-embed-blogger' on
another ship that is currently
involved in the multi-national,
anti-piracy efforts off the coast
of Africa. While I do not have
all the details on this opportu-
nity at this time, I must say I am
thrilled at the possibility to ride
a 'battleship' to tell the story of
the ship, its mission and most
important, its Sailors.
I am not deploying for a few
weeks, but I want to solicit
from you, my readers and fel-
low spouses, the questions you
have about ship life; what you
are curious to learn and hope to
hear from me during this oppor-
tunity to see these missions
from a spouse's view. Please
email me with your ideas and
questions to beth@homefrontin-
focus.com. Look for them in my
blog, columns and broadcast!

Tsunami


Exercise


Planned
From -
Naval Station Mayport will
join other localities in the north-
west Atlantic as a participant in
a tsunami response exercise on
April 2, 2009.
The purpose of the exercise
is to evaluate local tsunami
response plans, increase tsunami
preparedness and improve coor-
dination throughout the region.
The exercise, titled LANTEX
09, will simulate a wide-
spread Tsunami Warning and
Advisory situation along U.S.
and Canadian coasts in the
northwest Atlantic requiring
implementation of local tsu-
nami response plans. It is the
first such exercise including all
Atlantic states, provinces, terri-
tories and commonwealths.
The exercise will simulate
a major earthquake and tsuna-
mi generated north of Puerto
Rico occurring at 9 a m. Easter
Daylight Time on April 2.
Exercise participants will be
provided with a handbook,
which describes the scenario and
contains tsunami messages from
the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami
Warning Center (WCATWC).
The WCATWC isi responsible
for providing tsunami warning
messages to the Atlantic coasts
of U.S. and Canada, the Gulf of
Mexico coast, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands.
The exercise is sponsored by
the U.S. National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and by the U.S.
National Tsunami Hazard
Mitigation Program (NTHMP
- a partnership of 28 states and
territories and three federal
agencies). For more informa-
tion on the U.S. tsunami warn-
ing system, see www.tsunami.

Global war on terrorism sup-
port assignments are known by
the acronym GSA, Holloway
said. They involve "predictable"
overseas assignments of a year's
duration, he said, that would be
repetitively filled.
Holloway sais the Navy can
look in advance at that require-
ment GSA-system sourced
assignments, while assignment
managers scan the force to see
who'd be ready to deploy after
completion of their present
assignment.
Detailers don't pull Sailors
out of their present duty assign-
ments when filling GSA billets,
he noted, which results in less
disruption to Sailors' lives.
Meanwhile, Holloway said,
the Navy continues to attract
high-quality recruits.
"We are a world-class outfit
and we do require world-class
performance," Holloway said.
"So, the standards are high."

Reunion A Hit With Sailors Past


By MCC Suzanne Speight

It was a sunny spring Saturday
when more than 110 Sailors and
family members came together
to share memories and rekindle
friendships that were forged
more than 20 years ago, when
USS Philippine Sea was com-
missioned on a "not so sunny"
spring day in Maine.
"It's been 20 years and three
days since that freezing day in
Portland," said retired Capt.
Andrew John Combe, the ship's
commissioning commanding
officer. "It's great to be back,
and great to see such a good
turnout. The ship looks better
than some of us after 20 years
and the hospitality and profes-
sionalism shown by the current
crew was remarkable!"
The ship's current
Commanding Officer, Capt.
Gary Parriott, said it was a great
occasion to show the veteran's
how "we are taking care of the
ship and carrying on the cul-
ture and the traditions that were
established back in 1989."
Plankowners and other veter-
ans of the Mayport-based cruis-
er traveled to Jacksonville for a
three-day reunion that included
a golf tournament, a ship tour
and steel beach picnic, capped
off with a banquet on Saturday
night.
Fun and laughter with nostal-
gia in the air was the order of
the day as plankowners shared
stories about everything from
the first cruise, the memorable
underway 5K, to captain's mast
and getting 'busted down,' los-
ing pay and stripes.
Retired Senior Chief Gas
Turbine Systems (Mechanical)
Doug Reed ran into two fellow
chiefs he hadn't seen in more
than 10 years.
"We made chief together
aboard this ship, had a lot of
good times here," he said.
Reed said the crew was hard-
ly out of pre-commissioning
when they got the call to "make
best speed east" at the start of
the Persian Gulf War. After a
hasty goodbye to loved ones
and a quick transit through the
Suez Canal, Philippine Sea and
its Sailors went on to launch
the first Tomahawk missiles at
the start of the war in March,
1991. Reed said memories of
that deployment will stay with
him forever.
Chief Fire Controlman Justin
Binkley, just recently having
served aboard the ship said he
wanted to thank the ship's earli-
est Sailors including Reed and
his shipmates.
"They set the model for us,
and I am so proud to be able to
carry on that tradition today."

Culinary Specialist 1st Class Arthur Jenkins serves up lunch to past and present shipmates, and fam-
ily members aboard USS Philippine Sea. More than 100 former crewmembers and family came out to
tour the ship, as part of a three-day Philippine Sea reunion.


For most, the ship tour and
the opportunity to mingle with
today's active duty Sailors was
the highlight of the reunion. For
Chief Quartermaster Clifford
Petty, a Quartermaster 3rd Class
in 1989, things have come full
circle.
"I remember when these old
guys used to come back for ship
reunions and because I was so


young back then, I could have
cared less. But now, I'm one of
those guys!"
Petty told a story of how he
and the other QM's carved their
names in the wooden handrails
on the bridge wings, to signi-
fy their place as the first quar-
termasters to guide the ship.
Coming back, he saw the names

The excitement spilled over to
the ship's current crew, includ-
ing Sailors like Operations
Specialist Seaman Trevan
Davis.
"It's great," he commented.
"I've talked to a few people on
the mess decks. They are really
thrilled to be here and it's won-
derful to see them excited about
their old ship."
Although some Philippine
Sea veterans served just one
enlistment, others went on to
retire from distinguished Navy
careers. For instance, John


Hagan was the ship's firs
mand master chief, a
went on to serve as the
Master Chief Petty Offi
the Navy in 1992. Rear
Tom Copeman, current
Pacific Fleet's Deputy C]
Staff for Operations, Tr
and Readiness, was the
missioning CHENG, as
tenant commander in 1989
Retired Rear Adm. Ton
was the plankowner Exe
Officer. Although neither
ral could attend, Haga
they and others whose
ules and personal situation
not permit them to attend
much missed.
Ensign Brittany Kalus
the ship's current comm
tions officer.
"I think it's good fc
young sailors to see ho
some people have come,s
can see that someone just
who served on USS Phil
Sea went on to do great
for this ship and the N
large."
Kaluscak said everyone
interested to see how
things have changed
female sailors serving
today, but many things
same.
"I think they find it
strange to see females a
But then, I think they k
Sailor is a Sailor and we
a common bond, serving
same ship."
A recurring theme thi
out the weekend was that
current crew's profession
pride, and spirit.
Tim Bates, the first off
qualify as a SWO onboa
earn his pin as well as the
missioning Electronics M
Officer commented, "It's
to be back. The ship looks
the crew looks great, and


Present
definitely worth the trip all the
way from the west coast!"
Similarly, Chief
Firecontrolman Lonnie
Marksbury was "so impressed
with the skipper and the crew."
"She looks great and the hos-
pitality shown today to us is
Outstanding! You guys should
be so proud," said Marksbury.
i "I'm grateful just to be back and
see Phil Sea in such condition."
According to Hagan, the
N Saturday night banquet was a
rousing success. The banquet
hall was decorated with poster
size prints of the early Wardog
comics, an "underground strip"
authored by then Cryptologic
Technician (Collection) Seaman
Tilley, who retired recently as a
Senior Chief.
After an extended reception
S (which continued the sea sto-
ries begun on the ship's tour
earlier in the day), the program
opened with a soaring rendition
of the Star Spangled Banner by
the ships second Ombudsman,
Mrs. Lisa Moser, and continued
with a solemn two-bell ceremo-
ny recognizing and honoring
Lofton deceased shipmates.
he ship Hearty speeches by both
the commissioning and cur-
t com- rent CO's were presented to a
nd he very enthusiastic audience,
eighth who cheered and applauded
cer of both speeches with gusto. The
Adm. entertainment included former
ly the Signalman 1st Class Otto Voss
Lhief of singing and playing the guitar
aining as he had many times before
com- both on board and in many lib-
a lieu- erty ports.

I, were It was a great tribute to the
reunion, which received rousing

aboard on each other" and concluding,
are the to the loud approval of all pres-
ent: "From the bottom of my
really heart 20 years is too short to

now a Retired Senior Chief Mike
share Moran coordinated the reunion
on the weekend, and said he really
appreciated the base and the
rough- ship's support in making the
of the reunion a big success.
"It really means so much to us

icer to and we just couldn't have asked

Taylor Celebrates St. Patrick's in Boston


By MCC Dave Kaylor
Navy. "'.. of Community Outreach Boston
Bagpipes welcomed Sailors as
the USS Taylor (FFG 50) docked in
Boston kicking off a five-day visit to
the historic city on St. Patrick's Day
weekend.
Boston city officials and organizers
of South Boston's annual St. Patrick's
Day Parade were on hand to greet the
Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate as
it docked at the Charlestown Navy
Yard Boston National Historical Park.
The ship, with its crew of nearly 200
sailors, berthed directly in front of the
world's oldest commissioned war-
ship afloat, USS Constitution..."Old
Ironsides."
In the wardroom, a welcoming com-
mittee of community leaders presented
the commanding officer, Cmdr. Keith
Knutsen, tokens of appreciation and
New England hospitality.
"This is the most coveted of ports
to visit and I'm the envy of my peers,"
said Knutsen. "I know how much time
and effort you've put into our visit and
I'm sure this one will stick with our
Sailors for a lifetime."
Four Sailors experienced their own
once in a lifetime memories aboard
"Old Ironsides" on their first full day
in port. In a ceremony below decks,
Navy Counselor 1st Class Rob Ehrhart,
Fire Control Technician 1st Class Loren
Grumbly, Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class
Orane Allen, and Culinary Specialist
2nd Class Seth Thomas reenlisted in
front of family and a gathering of ship-
mates who graciously spent valuable
liberty-time to attend.
"To be able to reenlist onboard the
Constitution is a humbling experi-


ence," said Ehrhart. "Just imagine that
the founders of our Navy set foot on
this very deck."
Across town at the TD Banknorth
Garden, the ship's honor guard
received a warm welcome present-
ing colors at the opening ceremony of
the National Hockey League match
between the hometown Boston Bruins
and the New York Islanders.
Wrapping up the weekend, crew
members marched for three hours in
the 107th Annual St. Patrick's Day
Parade in the nation's most Irish neigh-
borhood of South Boston. The Sailors
were warmly rewarded by cheers from
an estimated 600,000 spectators drawn
to the second largest St. Patrick's Day
parade in America.
"Our port visit to Boston was a truly
rewarding experience," said Knutsen.
"Despite the cold weather, the city
turned out with open arms and warmly
welcomed us to their St. Patrick's Day
festivities. The outpouring of good
will and support for the US Navy by
the people of Boston was overwhelm-
ing. One of the absolute best port vis-
its I've ever experienced and it was the
good will of the people of Boston who
made it so."
The Boston visit is the first port
visit for the Taylor since its February
return to Naval Station Mayport fol-
lowing a six-month NATO deploy-
ment to the Mediterranean Sea. The
Taylor participated in two NATO exer-
cises and Operation Active Endeavor
ensuring safety and security in the
Mediterranean for all shipping.

Hue City Team Run In Jax Mud Run


By Lt.j.g. Kaitlyn O'Connor
USS Hue City
USS Hue City's Running Club recently
participated in the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society Mud Run.
Five members, Lt. Lennard Cannon, Lt.j.g.
Kaitlyn O'Connor, Fire Controlman 1st Class
Corey Shore, Fire Controlman 2nd Class
Zachary Sommer, and Fire Controlman 2nd
Class Joshua Foux, dressed in combat boots
and camouflage pants, battled their way along
a 10kilometer (6.2 mile) run through a series
of boot camp styled obstacles that were sur-
rounded by, or consisted entirely of, mud.
The Hue City Misfits, as they named their
squad, worked as a team throughout the run,
demonstrating not only their athletic abilities,
but also their impressive teamwork skills.
The obstacles throughout the race were
made up of low crawling under wires through
mud; swimming under netting through the
mud; scampering up and over hills of mud;
trudging through thigh deep mud; climbing
over and under telephone poles laying on the
surface of a mud puddle; swinging on ropes
over mud puddles; and every other filthy,
dirty, exhausting obstacle imaginable.
After an hour and 43 minutes of running,
climbing, swimming, and swinging, the team
crossed the finish line together, placing 22 out
of more than 108 co-ed teams.
Even more impressive than their score was
the fact that the team ran every step of the race
together. The members helped one another
over each and every obstacle, and provided
the moral and peer pressure support necessary
to keep each other going.
Continuing on with a body covered in cak-
ing mud and cami pockets full of muddy water
from the last puddle low crawled through
could have been quite a challenge without the
support of such devoted teammates.
All in all, Hue City's Running Club demon-
strated, once again, their prowess on the race
course and will continue to do so race after
race after race.

Gate 15K Motivates Deployed Sailors To Run


From USS Samuel B. Roberts Public
Inspired by their homeport's
annual 15-kilometer run,
Sailors aboard the deployed
USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG
58) formed a run of their own
March 15.
Every year Jacksonville,
Fla. hosts the 15K Gate River
Run in March. This year the
event came on March 14. The
next day, Samuel B. Roberts
Sailors broke away from their
usual Sunday morning routine
and participated in their own
Gate River Run at sea in the
Western Caribbean, approxi-
mately 928.55 nautical miles
away from their homeport of
Mayport, Fla.
The event was coordinated
by the "Air Boss" of Samuel
B. Roberts' attached Helicopter
Anti-Submarine Squadron
(HSL) 60 Detachment Two, Lt
Cmdr. Dom Pastorin.
"The Gate River Run is some-
thing that many Sailors look
forward to back in Jacksonville,
and this was one way to bring
a little bit of home to the ship,"
said Pastorin.
Twenty Sailors, pilots,
maintainers, and members of
attached U.S. Coast Guard
Law Enforcement Detachment
(LEDET) 403 participated in
the event, running more than
9.3 miles around the 0-2 level.


Despite having to dodge various
obstacles on the ship, includ-
ing the 76mm gun, Gas turbine
engine exhaust stack, the main
mast, and multiple topside lock-
ers, the team finished the run
with a time of 1:14:29.38.
Outfitted with race bibs, fin-
isher medals, and t-shirts, the
Samuel B. Roberts' Gate River
Run was a morale-boosting
team effort.
The guided-missile frigate
USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG
58), is currently deployed in
Latin America under the oper-
ational control of U.S. Naval
Forces Southern Command
(NAVSO) and U.S. 4th Fleet,
conducting counter illicit traf-
ficking operations in support of
Joint Interagency Task Force
South (JIATF-S), U.S. Law
Enforcement and U.S. and par-
ticipating nations drug control
policy.
Samuel B. Roberts is also
supporting the U.S. Maritime
Strategy by conducting Theater
Security Cooperation (TSC)
events, including Community
Relation (COMREL) projects
such as Project Handclasp dis-
tributions in the Caribbean and
Latin America.


Sailors from USS Samuel
B. Roberts (FFG 58) and
attached units, Helicopter Anti-
Submarine Squadron HSL-60
Detachment2, and U.S. Coast
Guard Law Enforcement
Detachment (LEDET) 403,
pose for a photo after partici-
pating in the ship's "Gate River
Run" around the 0-2 level of
the ship, while at sea in the
Western Caribbean. The run
was inspired by the 15-kilome-
ter Gate River Run held every
March in Jacksonville, Fla.
Samuel B. Roberts (FFG 58),
homeported in Mayport, Fla.,
is currently deployed in Latin
America under the operational
control of U.S. Naval Forces
Southern Command (NAVSO)
and U.S. 4th Fleet.

Approximately 275 persons from Naval Station Mayport pledged 45 minutes from their busy day to ride in MWR Mayport's first
Spin A Thon on March 17. The Spin A Thon was held in honor of all wounded warriors across the globe and across all branches
of the armed forces. Educational displays were created by the Navy Fitness Team to bring awareness to medical conditions our
wounded warriors are suffering from, in order that all of us may remain free and safe. The displays outlined PTSD (Post Trauma
Stress Disorder), TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and limb loss. Personnel from Military One Source and from the Military and
Family Life Consultant Program were also present to share their resources and knowledge. The commissary provided energy for
the ride and the fitness equipment company, Cybex, provided T-shirts for the raffles held during each ride. Congratulations to all
whom assisted and participated in this tribute.

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.

About The Kids?, FFSC
Children who witness fam-
ily violence are often forgot-
ten as the unintended victims.
A wide range of child adjust-
ment problems has been found
to be associated with exposure
to domestic violence. Parent's
need to see and understand the
effects of domestic violence
on children as encompassing
behavior, emotion, development
and socialization. Parents need
to understand that there is an
intergenerational cycle of vio-
lence and they may be creat-
ing a legacy for their child of
learned violent behavior. The
purpose of this program is not
to shame parents for events
that have already happen, but
to instill hope that things can
change. The knowledge that the
violence, which many parents
incorrectly believe is unseen
by their children, is negative-
ly impacting their children's
growth and development and
may provide an additional moti-
vator for ending the violence
and seeking intervention.
