200B CHINFO Award Winner
2008 CHINFO Award Winner
The Mirror Named Top 2 In Navy
F *
Naval Station Mayport's weekly
newspaper, The Mirror, has placed
second in the Metro Format Category
of the Chief of Naval Information
(CHINFO) Merit Awards.
This is the second time the newspa-
per has placed in the awards competi-
tion since The Florida Times-Union
became publisher of The Mirror in
January 2002. The Mirror also received
first place in Metro Format for 2002.
Each year, the Navy holds the
CHINFO Internal Media Award com-
petition to recognize outstanding
achievements in internal print and
broadcast products by Navy com-
mands and individuals. The Flagship,
base newspaper for Commander, Navy
Region Mid-Atlantic in Norfolk, Va.,
won first place in the Metro Format
category.
"CHINFO Merit Award is a presti-
gious award," said NS Mayport Public
Affairs Officer Bill Austin on Monday.
"For The Mirror to capture the honor
of second place Navy-wide is just fan-
tastic."
The Florida Times-Union pub-
lishes three naval papers in the area
- The Mirror, Jax Air News and The
Periscope at NSB Kings Bay, Ga. The
Military Publications Department,
managed by Specialty Publications
Director Joe DeSalvo and Military
Publications Manager Ellen Rykert,
oversees all three papers.
"This recognition is definitely a team
effort between the military and civilian
sector," said The Mirror Editor Paige
Gnann. "Each Mayport command has
contributed to make this newspaper a
top publication for the Navy. Without
the support of Naval Station Mayport
Commanding Officer, Capt. Aaron
Bowman, Bill Austin and the efforts of
Times-Union, it would not be possible.
A special thanks must go out to all
the collateral duty public affairs offi-
cers and Navy Public Affairs Support
Element (NPASE) Southeast for their
hard work."
Bowman was equally proud of the
award won by his base newspaper.
"The Mirror is a true reflection of
what this Naval Station is about, what
it is we do, and who we are," Bowman
said. "Everyone one the Naval Station
takes pride in reading the paper, sub-
mitting articles for the paper, and shar-
ing the paper outside the fence line. It
comes as no surprise that The Mirror
has risen to the top of Navy publica-
tions."

2 THE MIRROR, NS MAYPORT, Thursday, April 2, 2009
Chaplain's Corer
Some years ago a major elec-
trical company received a letter
from a third grade girl asking
for information for her class
project. The letter read some-
thing like this:
"Dear Sirs:
I'm trying to get all the infor-
mation I can, so please send me
any booklets and papers you
have. Also, would it be asking
too much for you to send me a
little sample of electricity?"
We may smile and perhaps
snicker at the apparent inno-
cence expressed in this child's
request. This little girl was ask-
ing for a miracle of sorts. But
however, we are sometimes like
this child. There are moments
that we deeply desire a mira-
cle of some kind. There are
Chaplain Joe Molina
CDS40 Staff Chaplain
times that we need to capture
or recapture a jolt of electricity
to restart our lives. Indeed, we
may even clamor for a miracle.
Think about it. How many
times have we wanted concrete
examples of the great mysteries
of God? How many times have
we asked for a miracle (how-
ever small) as tangible proof of
God's presence, concern and
love?
As we prepare to celebrate
the Easter and Passover sea-
sons, two major religions of the
world will commemorate events
in their histories which were, to
say the least, miraculous. The
historical claims of Christians
and Jews point us to a time in
which the presence, concern and
love of God were manifested in
extraordinary ways.
So while the Easter/Passover
season may signal to many
people the onset of Spring and
the Summer months that fol-
low, I submit that this Holy
season stands for a lot more.
If approached with the prop-
er spirit, an open heart and
the eyes of faith this Easter/
Passover season may even give
you a jolt, a jump-start because
it will remind you that miracles
of personal renewal can still be
manifested in our lives. This
Easter/Passover season can
remind us that The Almighty
continues to express love and
concern through a Divine pres-
ence.
Now, I know that it is not
cool to believe in miracles these
days. I know that in some cir-
cles it may not be the politically
correct thing to believe. It may
even be perceived as infantile
that a grown man or woman
would believe in the "M" word.
But I will go as far as stating
that belief in the miraculous is
the meeting place between the
transcendent (God) and the cre-
ation (us), with faith acting as
the connecting factor.
The problem we may have
with the miraculous may lie in
our personal expectations. We
may expect that a miracle must
be a stupendous, spectacular and
bigger-than-life event. While it
can be that, I believe that for
the most part miraculous events
occur on a smaller, down-to-
earth scale, as seen through the
eyes of faith.
Here is my experience with
miracles (don't worry; I'm not
going to startle you). A miracle
can stop you from drinking the
bitter waters of life. A mira-
cle can replace the "old wine"
of hopelessness with the "new
wine" of personal renewal and
hope. The miraculous assumes
that the following exists:
1.A sense of personal rela-
tionship with God.
2.A sense of personal need
for God's presence, concern and
love.
3.A personal petition for
God's provision according to
God's plan and purpose.
But ultimately, a miracle is
seen and experienced through
the eyes of faith and as seen
through those eyes we may just
catch a little sample of (God's)
electricity.
Have a blessed and happy
Easter/Passover season!

Recently I had the privilege of
traveling to speak to various
groups. It came to my attention
many military spouses may not
be aware that I do more than
write a weekly column. At the
exhortation of many I would
like to introduce my 'other'
efforts.
Operation Honeymoon did
you and your service member
have a honeymoon? A little
research revealed that perhaps
as many as 65% of enlisted cou-
ples never had a honeymoon.
Officer couples, while a some-
what lower number, also go
years hoping to have a honey-
moon with their service mem-
ber. I have heard from many
spouses who could use a boost,
a blessing if you will. What bet-
ter gift can you give a military
spouse than memorable, undis-
tracted time with their service
member? I founded Operation
Honeymoon to send military
couples on a honeymoon cruise.

Welcome Home, USS Roosevelt
HSL-42 Detachments One and Three Back After Deployment
By Ensign Michele V. Rollins
USS Roosevelt Public .
The guided-missile destroyer USS
Roosevelt (DDG 80) and embarked
HSL-42 Detachment Three returned
home from a seven-month deployment
to the U.S. Navy's 5th and 6th Fleet
Areas of Operation March 25.
Roosevelt departed Naval Station
Mayport, Fla., Aug. 28 as part of the
Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group
(ARG) in support of maritime security
operations (MSO) and national tasking.
"The ship's 2008-2009 deployment
was both challenging and reward-
ing," said Lt. Cmdr. Scott Harvey,
Roosevelt's executive officer. "There
are few times in a career that you
get a chance to see 300 Sailors come
together to accomplish a mission so
important. This deployment was one
of those times."
Roosevelt served as the air defense
commander (ADC) for the Iwo Jima
ARG during the early phases of the
deployment. The ship's combat sys-
tems team coordinated hundreds of
aircraft flight hours and maintained the
air picture for the strike group.
Roosevelt also provided support to
the pirated motor vessel (M/V) Faina,
the Ukrainian arms ship held hostage
by Somali pirates for several months,
and operated off the Horn of Africa in
support of national tasking, logging
two lengthy underway periods of 70
and 83 consecutive days.
Roosevelt Sailors were excited to
return to homeport and see their loved
ones.
"This deployment has truly been
challenging," said Cmdr. Stanley
Keeve, Roosevelt's commanding offi-
cer. "We were challenged by its length
of seven months, the extended under-
way stretches of 70 and 83 days and by
the diversity of the operations we con-
ducted: theater security cooperation,
antipiracy, presence ops and MSO.
Through all the challenges, Roosevelt's
Sailors truly worked as a team and
focused on the mission at hand. I am
extremely proud of each and every one
of them."
Roosevelt was deployed as part of
the Iwo Jima ARG supporting mari-
time security operations (MSO) in the
U.S. Navy's 5th and 6th Fleet Areas of
Operations. MSO help develop secu-
rity in the maritime environment. From
security arises stability that results
in global economic prosperity. MSO
complements the counterterrorism and
security efforts of regional nations and
seeks to disrupt violent extremists'
use of the maritime environment as a
venue for attack or to transport person-
nel, weapons or other material.

From HSL-42
HSL-42 Detachment One
"The Legends" are home
after conducting counter
piracy operations as part of
Combined Task Force 151.
Embarked on board USS
USS Vella Gulf, the ship/
air team trained extensively
together during workups, but
no Sailor could have imag-
ined that their training would
culminate with the task of
hunting pirates on the high
seas.
During workups, the days
were filled with battle prob-
lems that involved training to
conduct SSC and VBSS mis-
sions. This training allowed
for a smooth and easy transi-
tion into real world scenarios
they would later encounter
during deployment.
According to Lt. Cmdr.
Matt Bradshaw, OIC of Det
One, "This is a relatively new
mission for the HSL com-
munity, but fortunately much
of our training and previous
missions have prepared us for
this type of operation."
On multiple occasions the
Air Detachment took actions
to stop piracy, by patrolling
the so called "Pirate Alley"
and responding to distress
calls from multiple vessels.
On two separate occa-
sions the Det One "Legends"
helped capture 16 suspected
pirates. During the capture
of the second set of sus-
pected pirates the Helicopter
Aircrew launched on an alert
in the early morning hours
in response to a distress call
from a merchant vessel that
was under attack. Proud
Warrior 436 was launched
and proceeded to conduct
a search for the suspected
pirates utilizing their RADAR
and Night vision goggles.
When the Aircrew found
the skiff, the pirates began
to take evasive action, per-
forming "S" turns at a high
rate of speed. The Helicopter
crew was forced to conduct
two sets of warning shots on
the suspected pirate skiff.
The warning shots were per-
formed in a very effective
manner forcing the skiff to
come to an immediate stop,
allowing boat crews from
Vella Gulf to apprehend the
suspected pirates.

Klakring Welcomes
Bulgarian MCPON
By Ensign Peter Goodman
USS Klakring Public I" .
USS Klakring (FFG 42) welcomed the master
chief petty officer of the Bulgarian Navy March
20 during the ship's visit to Varna.
Klakring is in Varna to conduct diplomatic and
military-to-military engagements with Bulgaria to
strenghten the relationship between the Eastern
European country and the United States.
During his time in the U.S. ship's CPO mess,
Senior Chief Georgi Nikolov spoke of his respon-
sibilities as the senior enlisted Bulgarian Navy
Sailor.
"The meeting was a terrific opportunity to gain
a greater understanding of the scope and depth of
Nikolov's responsibilities," commented Klakring
Command Senior Chief Jeffrey Kirby.
Nikolov is leading the transformation of the
Bulgarian Navy enlisted ranks with the goal to
increase interoperability with other nations.
Engagement is one way the United States con-
tinues to broaden its relations and interoperability
with Bulgaria's maritime force. The experience
left the ship's crew and their Bulgarian visitors
with a greater understanding of the structure and
skills of each other's Navy, as well as the chal-
lenges each is working to overcome.
According to Kirby, the bond between Navy
chiefs extends far beyond national lines.
"Meeting chiefs from other navies provides
our mess the opportunity to build fellowship and
develop a stronger sense of pride and understand-
ing in our sisters' and brothers' service around the
world," said Kirby.
Klakring is currently on a scheduled six-month
deployment. She is assigned to Commander,
Destroyer Squadron 14 and homeported in
Mayport, Florida.

East Detachment Southeast
Sailors onboard the guided-
missile destroyer USS Carney
(DDG 64) held a goodbye
luncheon for their soon-
to-be deploying Individual
Augmentees (IA), and their
families March 12.
Although Sailors routinely
hold welcome home parties for
those returning from deploy-
ment, the commanding offi-
cer of Carney, Cmdr. Brendan
McLane says that returning
from deployment is in a way the
easy part.
"It's leaving and being sepa-
rated from your command and
playing
your family on a non-tradi-
tional deployment, like being
an Individual Augmentee, that
can be hard, and it is easy for
the Sailors to feel like they are
forgotten," said McLane. "What
we here on the Carney want to
do is make them know that we
will be here to support them
from the beginning to the end."
Carney is dedicated to mak-
ing sure their Sailors on IA still
feel that they are a part of their
command, with monthly care
packages stuffed full of cookies,
snacks and magazines, being
sent to each Sailor and a track-
ing board on the mess decks that
shows everyone who is gone
and where they are assigned.

"Since I have been here, I
have seen the ship really help-
ing their IAs," said Personnel
Specialist 1st Class (SW/AW)
Danelo Sobers, who will be
going to Afghanistan for 346
days. "From my experience
here I have seen nothing except
outstanding support for us."
During the luncheon all four
of the Carney's deploying IAs
took part in a cake cutting cer-
emony and then watched as
their Command Master Chief
unveiled the new IA tracking
board. The Carney IAs are all
together committed to over 1450
days in Iraq and Afghanistan.

products, and basic first aid supplies was given to
the Le Maarouf Hospital in Moroni.
Sailors assisted with the painting of two of
the town's monuments built by the Ambassador
Development Union. Local citizens spontane-
ously joined the Sailors to assist with the painting
and clearing of overgrown grass.
"Thank you for all of your help today," said
Mr. Said Abdullah, president of the Ambassador
Development Union. "We appreciate all of your
help and the work is beautiful."
The one-day engagement ended with a friendly
beachside volleyball match between Sailors from

CDS 40 Banner Hangs
In Mayport Chapel

CDS 40 Public !" .
Navy Chaplain Lt. Cmdr. Jose
"Chaps" Molina and the staff of
Destroyer Squadron (DESRON)
40 held a dedication ceremony
for the CDS 40 Banner Tuesday,
March 17, in the Mayport Base
Chapel. During the ceremony,
"Chaps" Molina officially took
the Banner into the Chapel's
care.
DESRON 40 Commodore,
Capt. Rudy Laco, said in his
opening remarks that this event
was the final ceremonial marker
for CDS 40's transformation
from CDS 6, a Pascagoula, MS,
based Squadron.
"Destroyer Squadron 40 has
very much come into its own
in the past two years," said
Laco. "We've fully become the
operational and exercise arm for
Fourth Fleet, and have become
fully integrated into the Naval
Station Mayport community.
Dedicating this Banner to the
Chapel is the final touch-we
are here."
During the ceremony, Chaps
Molina pointed out the symbol-
ic importance the banner has.
"Banners, rallying symbols
for military units, go back as far
as militaries do," said Molina.
"They pre-date even the Bible.
But we don't dedicate banners,
objects. We dedicate people.
We dedicate you, and me, and
the rest of this unit. So as we
dedicate our Banner in this holy
space, I think about the dedi-
cation I made when I took my
commissioning Oath and put on
this uniform. This banner has
the same symbolism as the uni-
form-a rallying point for each
and every one of us when the
times get tough. This banner
represents a clear direction for
each of us to follow."
The Banner, now on the
Chapel wall, is considered to
be on "loan" from the Squadron
to the Chapel. The only way it
can come off the wall is if the
Squadron takes it back-some-
thing that has not happened
in US Naval history-or the
Squadron ceases to exist.
Cmdr. Rob Rafford, DESRON
40 Chief of Staff, said that the
ceremony had special impor-
tance this year.
"This dedication is fitting in
that it occurs a month before
the start of the fiftieth iteration
of the UNITAS exercise series.
" said Rafford. ", DESRON
40 can now be assured that
they have a home here in the
Jacksonville/Mayport family.
Our motto of "Strength Through
Unity" and our crest which rep-
resents all the countries that
have participated in UNITAS
exercises is displayed promi-
nently on the Mayport base
for all of our Partner Nations
to reflect upon, and signifies
our effort towards working
with all the countries in South
America."
DESRON 40 will deploy on
Apr. 21 with USS Kauffman,
USS Doyle, and USS Ford
in support of US Southern
Command's (SOUTHCOM)
Partnership of the Americas
engagement operation,
"Southern Seas 2009 deploy-
ment". They will participate

ous bi-lateral and multi-national

USS Underwood Rescues Man Lost At Sea
From USS Underwood Public I.
While on routine patrol in the
Eastern Pacific Ocean March 18, USS
Underwood (FFG 36) was called to
help find a man lost at sea.
After receiving the call for assistance
from a U.S. Coast Guard cutter aware
of the man lost at sea, Underwood
maneuvered to the last known position
of the man's vessel, and sent out their
embarked Search and Rescue (SAR)
helicopter team.
At approximately 7:15 a.m., the
Officer of the Deck, Ensign Eric Priest,
located the man holding onto a piece
of driftwood about 1,500 yards off the
bow. Underwood moved into position
to recover the man and made prepara-
tions to launch the small boat.
After deploying the small boat the
boat crew made their way towards the
survivor. The man waved a shirt in the
air to signal the boat, and once the boat
crew saw the conscious survivor they
immediately deployed the SAR swim-
mer. The swimmer recovered the man,
and after conducting an initial health
assessment the boat crew returned to
Underwood. The survivor was trans-
ferred onboard and the medical staff
provided medical attention and provi-
sions to the survivor who had been
adrift for more than eight hours prior
to recovery.
"This is what we are out here to
do," said boat officer Ensign Timothy
Devall. "Last night we were conduct-
ing a counter narcotics mission and
today we had to change gears and pre-
pare for a SAR mission. The crew had
to be flexible and they did an outstand-
ing job."
The survivor is in good health and
currently onboard Underwood and will
be transferred off at a later date.
Underwood, homeported in Mayport,
Fla., is currently deployed in Latin
America under the operational con-
trol 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 participating nations drug control
policy.
Underwood is also supporting the
U.S. Maritime Strategy by conducting
Theater Security Cooperation (TSC)
events, such as Community Relation
(COMREL) projects throughout Latin
America.

USS Alaska To Change Homeports
From Submarine Group 10 Public
USS Alaska (SSBN 732),
a fleet ballistic submarine
assigned to Submarine Group
10, is scheduled to change
homeports to Naval Submarine
Base Kings Bay, Ga.
Alaska was previously
assigned to Submarine Group 9
in Bangor, Wash., for 20 years
and has been undergoing a 26
month refueling overhaul at
Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
Ballistic missile submarines
conduct a major overhaul near
the mid-point of the submarine's
service life, approximately 20
years, to re-capitalize the ves-
sel and extend the useful life
to maintain the required SSBN
force level.
Alaska has completed sea tri-
als and is scheduled to arrive at
Kings Bay for the first time in
April.
Cmdr. Paul Haebler is the
commanding officer of Alaska's
single crew. The crew will split
into a Blue and Gold crew in
May.
The "Kodak Tough" Alaska
will increase the number of
SSBNs homeported in Kings
Bay to six, with USS Tennessee
(SSBN 734) currently at
Norfolk Naval Shipyard under-
going its refueling overhaul.
Alaska is the seventh Trident
Ohio-class nuclear-powered
fleet ballistic missile submarine
and the fourth United States
Navy ship to bear the name of
the state. Alaska was commis-
sioned January 25, 1986 and has
conducted 59 strategic deterrent
patrols.

Military Child Care Is Best
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press
Service
The Defense Department's
stateside military child care
system took first place in the
categories of quality over-
sight and standards for a sec-
ond time as part of a national
child care advocacy group's
report, a senior official said in
Washington March 16.
The National Association
of Child Care Resource and
Referral Agencies recently
examined child care practices
in 50 states and the District
of Columbia for its most-cur-
rent report and awarded the
Defense Department the high-
est marks for quality for child
care oversight and standards,
Barbara Thompson, director of
the Pentagon's Office of Family
Policy, Children and Youth,
told Pentagon Channel and
American Forces Information
Service reporters.
The association twice has
reported on child care licensing
standards to assess their qual-
ity of oversight and standards,
Thompson said. The Defense
Department also earned the
same honors in the group's 2007
report, she said.
"This is the second time that
we were No. 1 in both oversight
and standards," Thompson said.
"No other state has ever reached
that, so we're very, very proud
of this achievement."
Two-time recognition by
the association reinforces the
fact that military families can
rest assured that the Defense
Department provides top-qual-
ity child care, Thompson said.
"I think it gives you the sat-
isfaction and the peace of mind
that the Department of Defense
is very committed to qual-
ity and that children who are
in our child-development sys-
tem receive very high quality
care across their development,"
Thompson said.
Military families that enroll
their children in [Defense
Department]-sponsored child
care facilities should know
"that your child is safe and is
in a learning environment,"
Thompson said. Such knowl-
edge, she added, helps military
members focus on their jobs.
Quality child care is impor-
tant, Thompson said, because
the key formative development
years for children takes place
between ages one through five.
"When we do the right mix
of quality care-giving, learn-
ing activities, opportunities for
physical play, ... these children
are thriving," she said. Such
an environment "really does set
the tone for their future in ele-
mentary school and further on,"
Thompson said.
Care-givers employed at
Defense Department-sponsored
child care facilities receive strin-
gent training and are required
to meet the highest standards,
Thompson said.
Respite Care Program
for Navy Families Out
From ELC ofDuval and NACCRRA
The National Association of
Child Care Resource & Referral
Agencies (NACCRRA) has
partnered with the U.S. Navy to
launch a new program that will
provide respite care to Navy
families with children with spe-
cial needs.
NACCRRA/Navy
Exceptional Family Member
Program (EFMP) Respite Care
will launch in Jacksonville and
will serve Navy families based
in and around Jacksonville. The
Early Learning Coalition (ELC)
of Duval has been awarded
the grant to administer EFMP
Respite Care in Jacksonville.
"We are so pleased to be able
to provide this much needed
program to our Navy families
who have children with spe-
cial needs," said Susan Main,
Executive Director, Early
Learning Coalition of Duval.
"NACCRRA/Navy EFMP
Respite Care will enable these
families to get a well-deserved
break with the assurance that
their child is being cared for by
specially trained child care pro-
oan
viders."
Eligible Navy families can
receive 40 hours per month of
respite care services for children
at no cost to the family. Respite
care services in Jacksonville
will be coordinated by the ELC
of Duval. Qualified caregivers,
recruited and trained in caring
for children with special needs
by the ELC of Duval, will pro-
vide the services for families.
To be eligible for NACCRRA/
Navy EFMP Respite Care, Navy
families must be enrolled in the
U.S. Navy Exceptional Family
Member Program (EFMP) and
have a child up to 18 years of
age designated as category IV
or V.
For local information on
the NAVY EFMP Program or
to learn more about The Early
Learning Coalition call Child
Care Resource & Referral
(CCR&R) at (904) 208-2044,
email CCRR@elcofduval.org or
visit www.elcofduval.org.
"We lead the way in the coun-
try of setting the standards and
oversight of what constitutes a
good early childhood program,"
Thompson said.

About The Kids?, FFSC
Children who witness fam-
ily violence are often forgot-
Worl
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.
