Naval hospital to provide evening
'Seasonal Flu Vaccine Shot Ex'
From Rod Duren
NHP PAO

Naval Hospital Pensacola is schedu ing an Oct. 20
evening "Seasonal Flu Vaccine Shot Ex" for enrolled benefi-
ciaries of the military medical facility.


The seasonal flu vaccinations will be given in the
Outpatient Clinic located on the east side of the hospital's
main building. Enrolled beneficiaries are Defense
Department-eligible persons that have their primary care pro-
vided at the Navy hospital.
The vaccinations will be available on a walk-in basis
between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.
In general, anyone who wants to reduce their chances of
getting the flu can get the seasonal flu vaccine. However, cer-


tain people should get vaccinated each year either because
they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complica-
tions or because they live with or care for high risk persons.
People at high risk of complication, such as children under
5 years of age; those who are pregnant; people over age 65;
and anyone with chronic medical conditions, should be high
on the list for getting a seasonal flu vaccination.

Three women firefighters now part of base department


Story, photos
by Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

A month ago, Fire &
Emergency Services
Gulf Coast had never
had a female firefighter. Today
they have three.
"I'd hire a dozen more women if they
were as highly qualified as these three,"
said Fire Chief Lewis Monti, whose fire
department includes Naval Air Station
Pensacola and Naval Air Station Whiting
Field.
His new hires include Firefighter/EMT
Stephanie Peterson, who comes from
Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Va.;
Firefighter/EMT Angela Johnson, who
was previously employed as a Department
of Defense contract firefighter overseas;
and Firefighter/EMT Brittany Shaffer, who
was working as a firefighter in Crestview
prior to coming to NASP.
All three women agree it's no big deal
to them to be the first women in the depart-
ment. As Peterson likes to put it: "I just
have a different bathroom," she said.
And Monti doesn't see anything special
about being the first fire chief to hire
females as line firefighters. But he is happy
they were able to be hired all at the same
time.
Technically, Peterson was the first to
arrive Sept. 13. Johnson and Shaffer offi-
cially started Oct. 13. All three are now
ready to go.


Firefighter/EMT Stephanie Peterson, the first female firefighter at Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast, works at a con-
trolled burn Oct. 12 at Barin Field, a naval outlying field (NOLF) near Foley, Ala.


Monti doesn't expect anything to
change. "It's nice to have the new profes-
sionals aboard, regardless of gender," he
said.
There was one change some personal
protective equipment has to be special
ordered. After all, women are sized differ-


ently than their counterparts.
But how the job is handled will be the
same for everyone the same gear, the
same air packs and they will carry the same
hoses. They are expected to pull each other
out if the need arises.
All the firefighters at Gulf Coast provide


aircraft and structural firefighting, preven-
tion, inspections, technical rescue (automo-
tive/dive/water/confined space, etc.),
advanced life support, emergency medical
care and hazardous materials technician

Finalists identified for best Navy mess award; NAS Pensacola makes list


By Debbie Dortch
NAVSUP Office of Corporate Communications

Mechanicsburg, Pa. (NNS) Fourteen
afloat and four ashore messes have been
selected from U.S. Fleet Forces
Command and Commander, Naval
Installations Command, as finalists for
the 2010 Captain Edward F. Ney Memorial
Awards, which encourage and recognize culi-
nary excellence in Navy Food service programs.
NAS Pensacola is one of the finalists.


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

Whether it's a health care question or a
legal question, military retirees and their
spouses should be able to get answers at
the 37th annual Gulf Coast Area Retired
Military Seminar Oct. 17 onboard Naval
Air Station Pensacola.
The event, sponsored by NASP's Fleet
and Family Support Center, will be held
from 9 a.m.-noon in the base theater,
Bldg. 633, just south of the chapel. D.J.
Kerr, director of the Retired Activities
Office at FFSC, will emcee the event that
often attracts people from out of state.
"Things have changed in a year," Kerr
said. So people are encouraged to come
for updates or just to see old friends. "It's
like a one-stop shopping center."
Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Carey
Dobbins of Pensacola has been attending
the seminar for the past several years with


"A team of food service experts perform a one-day
(Oct. 13) evaluation at the general mess. They arrive on
board around 6 a.m. and are on board until 5 p.m.
They evaluate the lunchtime meal using a pre-
established checklist. Most evaluations are
accomplished in port, but occasionally
due to operational commitments, our
evaluation teams must get underway with
the ship or submarine to complete the eval-
uation," said Naval Supply Systems Command's
(NAVSUP) Navy Food Service Director Cmdr. Tom
Dailey.


his wife, Olena. "We gain a little bit of
knowledge in addition to what we have
already gained," he said, adding, he
mainly goes for the updates. High on his
list is the latest information from Naval
Hospital Pensacola.
Last year the event attracted more than
400 people. Kerr is hoping for a similar
showing, but the attendance often
depends on what the retirement issues
are, he said. Both retired and soon-to-be
retired are encouraged to come.
Doors will open at 8:30 a.m., with the
event starting at 9 a.m. Dannyo Chow
from the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS) will be the
guest speaker and will talk about issues
concerning retiree pay and survivor ben-
efits.
Typically, speakers like Chow will
also answer individual questions after
giving a

"There are more than 300 messes in the U.S. Navy.
Making it to the finals in Ney award selections is a big
accomplishment," said Ney Program Manager
Roxanne Hauman. "It means the 18 nominated galleys
have worked tirelessly to ensure all details of food
preparation were addressed and they represent the Navy
with utmost precision and efficiency. They are the best
of the best in Navy food service and deserve the highest
honors and recognition that can be bestowed upon any
command."

WASHINGTON (NNS) -
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said Oct. 6 women soon will serve on submarines,
suggesting a reversal of the long-standing ban by the Navy.
Appearing on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," Mabus
signaled that the Navy is moving closer to allowing coed personnel on submarines.
"It will take a little while because you've got to interview people and you've got
to be nuclear trained," he said, referring to prerequisite steps before a Sailor is
assigned to a submarine.
Officials previously have cited a lack of privacy and the cost of reconfiguring

NASP Disability Employment Awareness Month observance


The Naval Education and Training Command
announces the annual Disability Employment
Awareness Month observance. This year's consolidat-
ed Pensacola Naval Air Station complex observance
will be held Oct. 22 at the National Naval Aviation
Museum from 10:30-11:30 a.m. The theme is
"Expectation + Opportunity = Full Participation."
The featured speaker will be Master Chief Petty
Officer James W. Wilson. Master Chief Wilson
entered the Navy in 1977. After two successful air-


crew tours he was selected to become an instructor at
the Navy's elite Survival, Evasion, Resistance and
Escape (S.E.R.E) school in Brunswick, Maine. Upon
his selection to master chief petty officer he trans-
ferred to Norfolk, Virginia as the Carrier Air Wing
Seventeen ordnance master chief. It was during this
tour aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN 65) that Master
Chief Wilson was severely injured leading to the loss
of his right leg below the knee.

level response.
Peterson has already
proved she can handle the
job, said Station Chief
Jim Bennett, her immedi-
ate supervisor. "Since day
one, she was a go-getter,
she knew her job and she
has been tested numerous
times," he said. "She def-
initely has the heart for
the job."
Recently she volun-
teered to help with a con-
trolled bum, a new skill
for her. "It's interesting to
learn the science behind
it," she said.
Peterson, 34, has expe-
rience as a fire inspector
at Naval Air Station
Oceania. She was a ship-
board firefighter in the
Navy and has 10 years of
civil service fire work.
"It is my career," she
said. She comes from a
military family, including
a father who was a career
Marine.
So far, no problems.
"They are brothers, just
like my brothers up in
Little Creek," she said.
"Once you are on the job
and you prove you are
able to work side-by-side
with them, they accept
you pretty easily."
Johnson, 31, will be
settling down in one area
for the first time in years.
That's scarier than the
firefighting job, she said.
Johnson is originally
from Minnesota, but has
been firefighting over-
seas for most of the past
seven years. She has
lived in Iraq, Antarctica
and more recently
Ecuador.


Prior to going over-
seas, she worked in
Minnesota as a firefight-
er. She brings about a
dozen years of experi-
ence to the job.
"I completely fell into
it," Johnson said of her
firefighting career.
She worked as a fire-
fighter in Chanhassen,
Minn., where her pay
was based on the number
of calls she worked. She
worked other jobs to
make ends meet. "That's
what I did for fun," she
said. "That's how it start-
ed."
Shaffer, 23, also grew
up in a military family
and moved to the area in
2004 with her family.
She now lives in
Navarre. Her interest in
becoming a firefighter
started with the Destin
Fire Control District
about two years ago.
Shaffer is working on
a degree in emergency
management and disas-
ter management, when
she's not riding her road
bike 32 miles along the
beach.
Shaffer said she want-
ed to be part of the mili-
tary system. "I just like
the structure," she said.
As the veteran of the
three, Peterson said she
is willing to be a mentor
if need be.
One of the most
important things she
has learned as a fire-
fighter is to be humble
and ask for help when
you need it. "It took me
a long time to learn that
one," she said. "It takes
a bigger person to ask
for help."

But Mabus is one of several top Navy officials recent-
ly to call for an end to the policy. The Navy secretary's
comments amplify his previous endorsement of ending
the ban.
"This is something the (chief of naval operations) and
I have been working on since I came into office," Mabus,
who was confirmed as Navy secretary in May, said last
week. "I believe women should have every opportunity
to serve at sea, and that includes aboard submarines."
NavyAdm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations,
acknowledged that special accommodations would be a
factor in the decision, but one that's not insurmountable.
"Having commanded a mixed-gender surface combat-
ant, I am very comfortable addressing integrating women
into the submarine force," he said in a statement last
month. "I am familiar with the issues as well as the value
of diverse crews."
Roughead said he has been personally engaged
through the years in the Navy's debate of the feasibility of
assigning women to submarines.

No one including men deserves to be abused


By T.D. Jackson
Special to American Forces
Press Service

CAMP ATTER-
BURY, Ind. Some
time ago a co-worker
of mine came to work
with what I thought
was a black eye.
I noticed it as I was
talking to her, and
when it registered, my
eyes sort of slid away
from her face and
began looking every-
where but at her.
I thought, "I am not
going there," and I
went on with my day
without giving it too
much thought.
Because I wasn't
sure, I didn't feel the
need to say something,


but the sad part is that
if it had been a more
obvious black eye, I
know I wouldn't have
said a thing; I would
have been too scared.
Just as I learned in
the suicide prevention
training we've had
here over the past few
months, I should have
asked those painful
but caring questions:
"Are you OK?" And in
this case, "Did some-
body hit you?"
October is National
Domestic Violence
Awareness Month.
One in every four
women will experi-
ence domestic vio-
lence in her lifetime,
and women 20 to 24


are at the greatest risk.
Here's one you
probably knew: Most
cases of domestic vio-
lence are never report-
ed to the police.
And one to blow
your mind: Men are
victims, too.
More than 834,000
men report being
domestically assaulted
annually.
People who are
abused often feel as
though no one will
believe them, or they
think they have
nowhere to go for
help.
At Camp Atterbury
or at any other military
installation, God
knows (pun intended)


you can call the chap-
lain at any time.
Behavioral Health,
too.
Even though this
was some time ago,
every now and then I
still wonder, "What if
somebody did hit her?
What if she needed to
talk, but everyone -
for different reasons
- was afraid to talk
about it?"
As a leader, I failed
her, but this anecdote
is my grasp at redemp-
tion.
My former co-work-
er probably never will
set her sights on this
article, but if someone
did put hands on her, I
would tell her I'm


sorry sorry it hap-
pened to her, and sorry
I was a chicken.
If I had weighed the
cost of embarrassment
against the cost of car-
ing, I wouldn't be
writing this now.
I'm hoping maybe
she didn't have a black
eye.
She may have as
I have on many occa-
sions caught a pitch
with her face during
softball practice.
She may have as
I have on many occa-
sions stood a little
too close to the top
cabinet door as it
swung open.
For all I know, she
could have gotten


popped by a feisty
rugrat. I don't know,
and I never will.
But what I do know
is that although I can-
not concern myself
with every detail of a
person's life, I can be
aware of changes in
behavior, moods and
certainly appearance.
I was in a leadership
position and along
with that title comes
responsibility.
It is my responsibil-
ity to make sure my
people are OK at work
and at home.
The mark of a good
leader is the ability to
listen, and, my friend,
although I am late, I
am all ears.


Domestic Abuse Prevention Month: choose to act to prevent


By Mary Grimes
Army Wounded Warrior Program

Word on the street is that the U.S.
military has announced October
2009 as "Domestic Abuse
Prevention Month."
I like that about the military. In
my view, it is one of the few great
institutions in our country that does-
n't avoid pointing out that we not
only have issues worthy of our care
and attention, but repeatedly
reminds us that we can as individu-
als and as a team, do something
about them.
Since entering the military in the
early 1970s, I can't remember a time
when regardless of my duty station,
the military community wasn't
reminded through command infor-


mation channels and or public
affairs initiatives of its more or less
zero tolerance in matters pertaining
to domestic abuse and/or violence.
With more than 30 years of gov-
ernment service to my journey, I'd
have to say that the tireless efforts
made by the armed forces toward
keeping information of such magni-
tude on the front burner, most cer-
tainly is an effort worthy of
applause.
While the topic of domestic abuse
is not something any of us finds
pleasant, it is unfortunately a truth
that lies among us.
The reasons for its existence are
about as diverse as the Sailors,
Marines, Airmen, Soldiers, veterans
and family members who experience
or have experienced the painful grip


of its embrace.
Through all ranks, the harsh reali-
ty is that domestic abuse all too
often manages to rear its ugly head
in environments that we'd like to
believe are exempt or are above
reproach.
The military realizes this, and I
believe has and continues to do
everything it can to rid its ranks and
communities of abuse of any form.
Are we our brother's keeper?
Each of us must commit ourselves to
taking a step forward in the push to
eradicate domestic abuse.
Regardless of its form whether
it be physical, sexual, psychological
or verbal, domestic abuse prevention
begins with a commitment to stop it
in its tracks.
I will go so far as to say that we


all can do a little bit better when we
know or even sense that another is in
harm's way.
Pick up the phone. Seek the assis-
tance of authorities. Churches,
teachers, unit commanders, neigh-
bors and trusted friends are available
to help, and that help comes without
judgment or criticism.
The October 2009 theme for
Domestic Abuse Prevention
Awareness Month is "Make the
Right Choice! Act to Prevent
Domestic Abuse!" That is a battle
cry to which we all must adhere, for
only by our actions and our efforts to
prevent this insidious violence, can
we anticipate the kind of change that
saves lives, restores lost self-esteem
and returns homes and families to a
healthy norm.

By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

Sixteen new auxiliary police graduat-
ed Oct. 9 from the Security Reaction
Force basic course at Naval Air Station
Pensacola adding to the base's growing
security force.
"This is a good class," said Officer
Matthew Capp, as he watched the latest
students go through the "Rambo Day"
activities prior to graduating.
Capp is one of four training supervi-
sors TRASUPs authorized to
teach the course.
The latest graduates are all enlisted
coming from different commands at
NASP, including the Naval Air
Technical Training Center and Corry
Station.
Although not in this group, earlier
graduates included women and
Reservists.
While they are still stationed at NASP
they will help at various entry control
points (ECP) and with random anti-ter-
rorism measures (RAM). They will also
be required to train once monthly with
the regular security force.
Typically there will be two auxiliary
police officers on watch in one day.
By the time they arrive at Rambo Day,
they have already been pepper sprayed
(oleoresin capsicum) that was in
Week 1 of the three-week course. And
they have spent almost a whole week on
the range shooting the M-9 pistol, the
shotgun and the M-16 rifle.
"So they get to do a lot of training,"
Capp said.
It's also good for their military
careers.
"These guys are going to be ahead of
the game from everybody else when
they transfer to their next duty station,"
Capp said. "They can put these qualifi-
cations on their evaluations."
And if they go where they are


required to have been certified with pep-
per spray (OC), they can show they have
already been through that.
"They don't have to go through it
again," he said. For Level 2, the OC is
sprayed on a rag and held to their fore-
head for a couple of seconds. "It's not
nearly as bad as Level 1," he said.
Their range skills qualify them for
additional ribbons and medals for the
pistol and rifle. From this group, five
have already qualified as experts with
the rifle and 13 qualified as experts with
the pistol.
The training is similar to police train-
ing in the early stages.
NASP DoN police officers have to go
through a 12-week field training officer
course that includes report writing, state
and federal law and the UCMJ, learning
to operate an emergency vehicle, run-
ning driver's licenses and registration
checks, learning basic life support and
going through all the weapons courses
semi-annually.
NASP typically has two Security
Reaction classes per year in the
March/April time frame and the
September/October time frame.
"Sometimes it's really cool and some-
times it's not," Capp said. On Oct. 8 it
was not.
Right now there are about 35 auxil-
iary security force members, with the
new 16 that will add about 50 percent
more. But of that class, 10 or so are
ready to transfer.
Capp said the security department
would like to offer the class quarterly.
"The commands are short as it is and
they have to give up bodies for three
weeks," he said.
For information about the next
Security Reaction Force Basic Course,
Contact MA1 Jacob Frick (auxiliary
force coordinator) at the NASP Police
Training Department at 452-8378, ext.
3136.

Third in a series of fire prevention articles during October National Fire Prevention Month


Stay 'Fire Smart' don't let a home fire happen to you


From Craig Lewis
Fire Prevention Chief, Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast

Every day, Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast

receives a report from the U.S. Fire Administration

on the previous day's civilian fire fatalities. Rarely is

there a day with no deaths due to fire.


Most of the time the report identifies
the number of victims, their ages, proba-
ble cause, and (if in a home) whether or
not there were working smoke detectors.
We have been informed of five or more
deaths in a single fire, with ages ranging
from infants to age 91, with causes from
smoking, cooking, electrical, gas or elec-
tric space heaters and various other caus-
es.
During the week of Oct. 4-10 we asked
you to "Stay Fire Smart, Don't Get
Burned" and we at Fire & Emergency
Services Gulf Coast hope the message is
practiced throughout the whole year, and
not just for a week or so.
Please slow down, take some time this


weekend, and look around your house to
see what fire safety hazards you have,
and please don't assume you don't have
any hazards because we all do.
First, check your smoke detector if
you don't have one get one for each level
of the home, the hallways outside of bed-
rooms, and inside the bedrooms. Test
them monthly, replace the batteries every
six months when the time changes. Look
around your home for electrical hazards
such as unsafe wiring or overloaded cir-
cuits, improper storage practices, candle
placement, consider having fireplaces
and furnaces inspected and if you have
gas appliances or other carbon monoxide
producing devices have a carbon monox-


Home fires, such as the one that destroyed this kitchen, only take a careless
moment to start. Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast urges homeowners to take
the lessons of fire prevention to heart throughout the year, not just during National
Fire Prevention Month (October).


ide detector.
These are just a few of many items you
need be on the lookout for concerning fire
safety, if you have questions please call us


at the Fire Prevention Bureau at 452-
8759 and remember the warning, "Fire
- It Can Happen To You Think
About It."


Managing the

energy program

at NAS Pensacola
From Sue Brink
NAVFAC Southeast Public Affairs Officer

Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) is celebrating
energy awareness during the month of October and
even though they are always working toward the presi-
dent's goal of energy independence, this celebration
provides the opportunity to further educate the public.
"There are several regulations, policies and guidance
that the Navy follows to promote energy efficiency and
conservation," said Lt. Cmdr. Oscar Bemal, production

officer of Public Works Department Pensacola.
The Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 2005 and
Executive Order 13423 were the first two governing
documents that held government agencies accountable
to conserve energy through quantifiable milestones.
Further guidance and mandates, both at the federal and
regional level have assisted installations in developing
long term goals by implementing energy-saving
resources.
"Our resource efficiency manager (REM) is vital
with ensuring a successful program," said Bemal.
"They (REMs) are the installation's energy expert."
REMs focus on reducing the cost of energy, water,
fuel, waste disposal and pollution prevention through
improved practices, equipment modifications and con-
sumer awareness. So where does he or she start? Each
installation is required to audit all the buildings when

energy. Through these audits, projects are developed
that target energy-consuming systems to make them
more efficient.
One the most effective methods used by NASP's
Public Works Department is the Utility Energy Savings
Contract (UESC). This program is a partnership with
local utility companies that allows them to finance the
installation energy-saving projects. In return, the
expected dollar savings generated from these projects is
paid to the utility company eliminating up-front
costs. This win-win situation reduces energy consump-
tion while the utility company is provided the dollar
savings (as if the project never happened) to repay the
loan within 15 years.
The next article in Gosport will focus on key energy
projects at NASP

New personnel qualifications

released for LS, MC and RP ratings


By MCCS(SW/AW) Melissa
Weatherspoon
Center for Service Support Public
Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I. (NNS)
- The Center for Service
Support in Newport
released new personnel
qualification standards
(PQS) Oct. 1 for logistics
specialists (LS), mass
communication specialists
(MC) and religious pro-
gram specialists (RP) rat-
ings.
A PQS is a compilation
of the minimum knowl-
edge and skills that an indi-
vidual must demonstrate in
order to qualify to stand
watches or perform other
specific routine duties nec-
essary for the safety, secu-
rity or proper operation of
a ship, aircraft or support
system.


"These new qualifica-
tions standards reflect what
is necessary to be success-
ful in the fleet for the LS,
MC and RP ratings," said
Richard Price, the CSS
PQS manager. "As tech-
nology, requirements and
ratings change, we will
continue to update PQS to
help the 21st-century
Sailor stay current and rel-
evant."
The electronic-only ver-
sions of the PQS booklets
are available on Navy
Knowledge Online (NKO)
via the Navy PQS link
found on the Quick Links
tab on the left side of the
main NKO page.
From the Navy PQS
page, Sailors should fol-
low the PQS 43200 Series
link on the left side.
The Center for Service
Support (CSS) is com-


prised of active-duty, civil-
ian and contractor person-
nel, who direct the training
efforts of 13 learning sites
around the Fleet, including
the Defense Information
School at Fort Meade,
Md., and the Naval
Technical Training Center
in Meridian, Miss.
The CSS team ensures
curriculum is current, as
each team member works
to develop innovative
training methods aimed at
preparing Sailors in the
logistics, administrative
and media ratings to sup-
port the Fleet's warfighting
mission.
CSS was established in
Athens, Ga., on Feb. 7,
2003. It moved to Naval
Station Newport's
Fitzgerald Hall, adjacent to
the Surface Warfare
Officers School July 8.


Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, a former governor of Mississippi, recently
announed that the Navy will name a dry cargo ammunition ship after the civil rights
leader Medgar Evers. The future USNS Medgar Evers (T-AKE 13) is designed to
provide replenishment services to U.S. Navy ships at sea, to include collation ships
from other nations. U.S. Navy Illustration by MC2 Jay Chu

Navy names ship after civil


rights activist Medgar Evers


From Chief of Naval Personnel Public
Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) Effective
Oct. 1, as designated in NAVADMIN
284/09, the logistics specialist (LS) rating
was established, encompassing more than
11,000 postal clerks (PC) and storekeepers
(SK), who merged into the single designa-
tor.
The merger comprises all active-duty
Sailors and Reserve component E-6 and
above, formerly designated as SK and PC,
and will include Reserve component E-l
to E-5 beginning Apr. 1, 2010, according
to the message.
"As an element of the Navy's total force
strategy, this merger will capitalize on the
knowledge, skills and abilities found in the


two ratings and apply them toward a uni-
fied mission," said Vice Adm. Mark
Ferguson, chief of naval personnel.
"Merging postal clerks and storekeep-
ers together brings nearly 100 years of
logistical experience to the logistics spe-
cialist rating."
In addition to enhancing mission
accomplishment, the merger lends to
steadier career progression for Sailors by
aligning the global demand and supply for
logistical talent.
Logistics specialists will be identified
by the crossed keys rating badge, formally
the symbol of the storekeeper rating. The
conversion of rating badges must be com-
pleted by Oct. 1, 2011.

Personnel, visit www.navy.mil/local/cnp.


From Department of
Defense


WASHINGTON (NNS)
The Navy announced
recently the newest Lewis
and Clark-class dry cargo/
ammunition ship (T-AKE)
would be named USNS
Medgar Evers.
The announcement was
made by Secretary of the
Navy Ray Mabus during a
Jackson State University
speaking engagement in
Mississippi.
The Navy's newest
underway replenishment
ship recognizes Civil Rights
activist Medgar Evers
(1925-1963) who forever
changed race relations in
America.
At a time when the coun-
try was wrestling to end
segregation and racial injus-


tice, Evers led efforts to
secure the right to vote for
all African Americans and
to integrate public facilities,
schools, and restaurants.
On June 12, 1963, the
Mississippi native was
assassinated in the drive-
way of his home. Evers'
death prompted President
John F. Kennedy to ask the
Congress for a comprehen-
sive Civil Rights Bill.
Designated T-AKE 13,
Medgar Evers will be the
13th ship of the class and is
being built by General
Dynamics NASSCO in San
Diego. As a combat logis-
tics force ship, Medgar
Evers will help the Navy
maintain a worldwide for-
ward presence by delivering
ammunition, food, fuel, and
other dry cargo to U.S. and
allied ships at sea.


As part of Military
Sealift Command's Naval
Fleet Auxiliary Force,
Medgar Evers will be desig-
nated as a United States
Naval Ship (USNS) and
will be crewed by 124 civil
service mariners and 11
Navy Sailors.
The ship is designed to
operate independently for
extended periods at sea, can
carry a helicopter, is 689
feet in length, has an overall
beam of 106 feet, has a nav-
igational draft of 30 feet,
displaces approximately
42,000 tons and is capable
of reaching a speed of 20
knots using a single-shaft,
diesel-electric propulsion
system.

Thousands line the levees to salute, bid farewell to Pre-Commissioning Unit New York


By MC1 Shawn D. Graham
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New
Orleans Public Affairs

NEW ORLEANS (NNS) -
Thousands of residents from
around the New Orleans area
began lining up along the banks
of the Mississippi River before
daybreak to bid the Pre-
Commissioning Unit New York
farewell as it departed from the
Northrop Grumman
Shipbuilding inAvondale Oct. 13.
Lola Lass, president of The
Greater New Orleans Executives
Association (GNOEA), said her
group suggested the send-off cel-
ebration to allow the community


one final opportunity to salute
the ship, its crew and the men
and women who spent more
than five years building it.
"The "Line the Levees" event
showcased the hard work, love
and dedication that went into
building this ship," said Lass.
"It allows citizens of New
Orleans to pay homage to the
victims, families and first
responders of 9/11."
The 684-foot amphibious
transport dock ship contains
about 7.5 tons of steel from the
World Trade Center, felled dur-
ing the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks.
It received two 21-gun salutes,


as it passed Naval Air Station
Joint Reserve Base New Orleans
(NAS JRB) and Naval Support
Activity New Orleans (NSA).
Capt. Bill Snyder, Naval Air
Station Joint Reserve Base New
Orleans (NAS JRB) command-
ing officer, said that the ship's
transit was symbolic.
"rm thrilled to have witnessed
history," said Snyder. "There has
been overwhelming support for
the U.S. Navy in this area. I'm
thrilled that so many people took
time out of their days to partici-
pate in this event."
Snyder also thanked parish
leaders and volunteers who par-
ticipated in the event, citing the


long hours spent preparing for
the ship's transit down the river.
"Plaquemines Parish officials
have been dynamic in their sup-
port," said Snyder. "Granting us
access to the site and the security
support from their sheriffs
department was key in preparing
for such a large event."
Master-at-Arms 1st Class
(SW) Derrick Tyler, assigned to
NAS JRB's security department,
said he was impressed by the
immense turnout and support
throughout the area.
"When you see hundreds of
everyday citizens waving flags
and holding up signs, it can be
very powerful," said Tyler.


"You are used to that seeing
ships return or go on a deploy-
ment, but when I saw this one
leaving it felt different. America
wants to this ship to do amazing
things."
New York will be commis-
sioned Nov. 7 in New York.
The New York is the fifth
amphibious transport dock of the
San Antonio class.
The ship was named New
York after the state and her motto
is "Strength Forged Through
Sacrifice. Never Forget."

Breast Cancer Awareness


nth


From www.nbcam.org


Breast cancer is the most
common cancer in women

in the United States, aside

from skin cancer. According to the

American Cancer Society (ACS), an

estimated 192,370 new cases of inva-

sive breast cancer are expected to be

diagnosed among women in the

United States this year.

An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die
from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are
about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in
the United States.
If you're worried about developing breast cancer,
or if you know someone who has been diagnosed
with the disease, one way to deal with your concerns
is to get as much information as possible.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in
one or both of the breasts. Breast cancer usually
develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the
milk-producing areas of the breast.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of can-
cer death in women (after lung cancer). Although
African-American women have a slightly lower
incidence of breast cancer after age 40 than cau-
casian women, they have a slightly higher incidence
rate of breast cancer before age 40. However,
African-American women are more likely to die
from breast cancer at every age. Breast cancer is
much less common in males; by comparison, the
disease is about 100 times more common among
women. According to the American Cancer Society,
an estimated 1,910 new cases of invasive breast can-
cer are expected to be diagnosed among men in the
United States in 2009.
Types of breast cancer
There are several different types of breast cancer
that can be divided into two main categories non-
invasive cancers and invasive cancers. Noninvasive
cancer may also be called "carcinoma in situ."
Noninvasive breast cancers are confined to the ducts
or lobules and they do not spread to surrounding tis-
sues. The two types of noninvasive breast cancers
are ductal carcinoma in situ (referred to as DCIS)
and lobular carcinoma in situ (referred to as LCIS).
It is known that hormones in a woman's body,
such as estrogen and progesterone, can play a role in
the development of breast cancer. In breast cancer,
estrogen causes a doubling of cancer cells every 36
hours. The growing tumor needs to increase its
blood supply to provide food and oxygen; proges-
terone seems to cause stromal cells.
Non-invasive breast cancer: The majority of non-
invasive breast cancers are DCIS. In DCIS, the can-
cer cells are found only in the milk duct of the
breast. If DCIS is not treated, it may progress to
invasive cancer.
In LCIS, the abnormal cells are found only in the
lobules of the breast. Unlike DCIS, LCIS is not con-


-II
sidered to be a cancer. It is more like a warning sign
of increased risk of developing an invasive breast
cancer in the same or opposite breast. While LCIS is
a risk factor for invasive cancer, it doesn't actually
develop into invasive breast cancer in many women.
Invasive breast cancer. Invasive or infiltrating
breast cancers penetrate through normal breast tis-
sue (such as the ducts and lobules) and invade sur-
rounding areas. They are more serious than noninva-
sive cancers because they can spread to other parts
of the body, such as the bones, liver, lungs, and
brain.
There are several kinds of invasive breast cancers.
The most common type is invasive ductal carcino-
ma, which appears in the ducts and accounts for
about 80 percent of all breast cancer cases. There are
differences in the various types of invasive breast
cancer, but the treatment options are similar for all
of them.
Not all breast cancers are alike
Not all breast cancers are alike there are differ-
ent stages of breast cancer based on the size of the
tumor and whether the cancer has spread. For doctor
and patient, knowing the stage of breast cancer is the
most important factor in choosing among treatment
options. Doctors use a physical exam, biopsy, and
other tests to determine breast cancer stage.
Stages of breast cancer
The most common system used to describe the
stages of breast cancer is the AJCC/TNM (American
Joint Committee on Cancer/Tumor-Nodes-
Metastases) system. This system takes into account
the tumor size and spread, whether the cancer has
spread to lymph nodes, and whether it has spread to
distant organs (metastasis).
All of this information is then combined in a
process called stage grouping. The stage is
expressed as a Roman numeral. After stage 0 (carci-
noma in situ), the other stages are I through IV (1-


4). Some of the stages are further sub-divided using
the letters A, B, and C. In general, the lower the
number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher
number, such as stage IV (4), means a more
advanced cancer.
These are the stages of breast cancer:
Stage 0 Stage 0 is carcinoma in situ, early
stage cancer that is confined to the ducts or the lob-
ules, depending on where it started. It has not gone
into the tissues in the breast nor spread to other
organs in the body.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): This is the most
common type of noninvasive breast cancer, when
abnormal cells are in the lining of a duct. DCIS is
also called intraductal carcinoma. DCIS sometimes
becomes invasive cancer if not treated.
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS): This condition
begins in the milk-making glands but does not go
through the wall of the lobules. LCIS seldom
becomes invasive cancer; however, having LCIS in
one breast increases the risk of cancer for both
breasts.
Stage I Stage I is an early stage of invasive
breast cancer. In Stage I, cancer cells have not
spread beyond the breast and the tumor is no more
than two centimeters (three-quarters of an inch)
across.
Stage II- Stage II is one of the following:
The tumor in the breast is no more than two cen-
timeters (three-quarters of an inch) across. The can-
cer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
The tumor is between two and five centimeters
(three-quarters of an inch to two inches). The cancer
may have spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
The tumor is larger than five centimeters (two
inches). The cancer has not spread to the lymph
nodes under the arm.
Stage III Stage III may be a large tumor, but
the cancer has not spread beyond the breast and
nearby lymph nodes. It is locally advanced cancer.
Stage IIIA Stage IIIA is one of the following:
The tumor in the breast is smaller than five cen-
timeters (two inches). The cancer has spread to
underarm lymph nodes that are attached to each
other or to other structures.
The tumor is more than five centimeters across.
The cancer has spread to the underarm lymph nodes.
Stage IIB Stage IIIB is one of the following:
The tumor has grown into the chest wall or the
skin of the breast.
The cancer has spread to lymph nodes behind the
breastbone.
Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare type of Stage
IIIB breast cancer. The breast looks red and swollen
because cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the
skin of the breast.
Stage IIIC Stage IIIC is a tumor of any size. It
has spread in one of the following ways:
The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes behind
the breastbone and under the arm.
The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under
or above the collarbone.
Stage IV Stage IV is distant metastatic cancer.
The cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Recurrent cancer Recurrent cancer is cancer
that has come back (recurred) after a period of time
when it could not be detected. It may recur locally in
the breast or chest wall as another primary cancer, or
it may recur in any other part of the body, such as
the bone, liver, or lungs, which is generally referred
to as metastatic cancer.

Marine course teaches to L.E.A.D. from the front


By Curtis Prentice and 2nd Lt. Kelsey Lourie
MATSG-21 PAO

As paintballs zip past overhead, new

corpsman and junior enlisted Marines

are taught the basics of how to train

together and apply their knowledge of combat tac-

tics while gaining an early understanding of what

the Navy/Marine Corps team is all about.


This is all part of a real-
istic field exercise that cul-
minates the MATSG-21
four week Leadership,
Education and
Development (LEAD)
course. LEAD provides
relevant training to junior
servicemembers, exploit-
ing every opportunity to
make Marines better pre-
pared for combat as the
Marine Corps operational
environment evolves.
At NAS Pensacola,
Marines conduct entry-
level training for 79 avia-
tion primary warfare spe-
cialties with an annual
throughput of more than
5,000 enlisted Marines.
The current fight requires
Marines to be prepared
both mentally and physi-
cally for operations outside
their military occupational
specialty. In light of this,
nearly every enlisted
Marine awaiting training
gets a chance to take the
LEAD course where class
sizes range from 40-100


Marines.
"LEAD is a leadership
tool and excellent PME
(Professional Military
Education) for E-ls to E-
3s," said Corporal David
Cole, LEAD non-commis-
sioned officer in charge
(OIC). 2nd Lt. Shane
Vigil, LEAD OIC, agreed:
"The LEAD program is a
great way for junior
Marines straight from
Marine Combat Training
to develop their leadership
and communication
skills."
Lieutenants who are
awaiting flight training
serve as LEAD staff and
instructors while NCOs
mentor the students. For
2nd Lt. Greg Czyzewski,
LEAD executive officer,
the best part is "knowing
that I've positively impact-
ed junior enlisted Marines
so that they can better
themselves and be suc-
cessful." The lieutenants,
all recent graduates of The
Basic School, bring a


depth oftheoretical knowl-
edge which is comple-
mented by the NCOs' bat-
tlefield experiences.
Developing the
Marines' character attrib-
utes and mental toughness
begins in the classroom,
utilizing Marine Corps
Institute (MCI) classes
such as Math for Marines,
Terrorism Awareness and
Personal Financial
Management. Fulfilling
these PME requirements
early in a career prevents
delays in promotion to E-4
of otherwise qualified
Marines. Current opera-
tional tempo has precluded
many Marines from suc-
cessfully completing their
MCI classes in a timely
fashion; LEAD counters
this problem.
Instruction in these
courses also addresses cur-
rent issues and how they
affect Marines' combat
readiness. "We are teach-
ing these young warriors
to think for themselves,"


HM2 Jason Hartop and 2nd Lt. Ryan Casey observe as two LEAD students attend to
a third Marine's "injuries" while a fourth pulls security. Photo by 2nd Lt. Kelsey Lourie


1st Lt. Benny Kandhiraj
explained as he prepared a
class. "Counter-terrorism
operations are dynamic;
the Marines' ability to
quickly adapt to this ever
changing situation is what
will make them and the
Corps successful."
Combat tactics taught
progress from fire team
(four Marines) to squad
level (13 Marines), and at
the conclusion of the
course, graduates are able
to give, receive and exe-
cute combat orders. Also,
experienced corpsmen
teach advanced first aid
and field triage in order to
qualify the Marines as
combat life savers.
Martial arts instruction
develops the Marines'


physical readiness as it
builds confidence and pro-
vides for advancement to
the next skill level.
Students are also put
through a series of daily
physical training including
MATSG-21's Combat
Conditioning Course: an
obstacle course, a 15-sta-
tion circuit course and
beach/trail runs.
The results of LEAD
are significant. "In LEAD
I had a chance to actually
lead (fellow) Marines
instead of how it was at
boot camp where only
some Marines got to lead,"
said Lance Cpl. Chris
Britton, now a mentor,
about his time in the pro-
gram. As Marines engage
in the challenging training


provided, their confidence
and camaraderie is boost-
ed and there is a decrease
in conduct violations, both
on and off base. When the
Marine goes to their first
unit, commanders receive
Marines that already pos-
sess some tactical profi-
ciency, creating a positive
impact on the unit's train-
ing cycle: at least 90 hours
per Marine can now be
used for alternate training.
LEAD is important to
the junior officers
involved as well. "It is
great working with the
junior marines at this early
stage, Marines who may
one day be my crew
chiefs, in charge of keep-
ing our aircraft in the sky,"
said 2nd Lt. Vigil.


CNATRA changes leadership


By Bob Torres

Affairs

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (NNS)
- A change of command ceremony
for Chief of Naval Air Training
Command (CNATRA) was held on
board Naval Air Station Corpus
Christi recently.
Rear Adm. Mark D. Guadagnini
relinquished command as CNATRA
to Rear Adm. William G. Sizemore
II, during the ceremony with Vice
Adm. Thomas J. Kilcline, command-
er, Naval Air Forces, as the keynote
speaker.
Guadagnini, who has served as the
CNATRA since Aug. 15, 2007, also
served as the head of human
resources for the Naval Aviation
Enterprise.
"The most important achieve-
ments of CNATRA over the past two
years are a
renewed dedi-
cation to pro-
fessionalism,"
s a i d
Guadagnini.
"And the new
measures by
which we

"The highlight of my tour is the
people here. They are the heroes,"
said Guadagnini. "People getting up
every day coming to work and doing
things in defense of our country.
Every day people doing their work
for this organization are the heroes.
People on this base and people on the
CNATRA staff that make things hap-
pen."
Guadagnini was referring to the
staff that helped him oversee the
Naval Air Training Command com-
prised of five training air wings locat-
ed on naval air stations in Florida,
Mississippi and Texas. The wings are
home to 17 training squadrons, all
training future naval aviators. This
includes joint training with the Air
Force on bases in Texas, Oklahoma
and Georgia. CNATRA also oversees
the Naval Flight Demonstration
Squadron, the Blue Angels.
One of the
highlights serv-
ing as the CNA-
TRA has been
having his son,

Volunteering at schools is nothing
new for military members at Naval Air
Station Whiting Field, but after the
Helicopter Training Squadron Eight/
Hobbs Middle School partnership
lapsed for several years, it was impor-
tant to re-invigorate the program. With
that in mind, Hobbs' principal, Stephen
Shell and members from the aircraft
squadron agreed to a flagship contract
focused on helping the kids.
"I am very excited about the process
we are undertaking today," Shell said
before signing the agreement. "We are
very connected to the military here. It is
a big part of Hobbs Middle School and
we are excited by a renewal of this part-
nership."
The agreement was signed by Shell,
HT-8 Commanding Officer Cmdr.
Michael Fisher, and the squadron's


volunteer coordinator Lt. Stephen
Skinner. It delineates the volunteer
needs of the school and areas where
HT-8 can help promote school goals.
Planned commitments include helping
with: individual and classroom tutors,
student mentors, school beautification
projects, field trips, student athletic fit-
ness, substance abuse prevention pro-
grams and more.
The agreement is a one-year partner-
ship, but with an intention to renew it
annually. The school and the squadron
have actually had agreements dating
back 10 or 15 years according to Shell,
but following Hurricane Ivan, other pri-
orities took precedence and the partner-
ship faded.
Fisher is looking forward to getting
back on track.
"I want us to be a positive influence
on you," he said to the 30 or so students
in attendance. "Thank you for giving us
the opportunity to reengage in this
important partnership."

O'Club Oct. 30-31


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff writer

People interested in
antiques should find
plenty to see at an
antique show at the
Mustin Beach
Officers' Club Oct. 30-
31 onboard Naval Air
Station Pensacola.
Organized by the
Officers' Spouses'
Organization (OSO) at
NASP, the show is
open to the public.
The event will fea-
ture dealers from the
local antique malls
who will show off
what they have to
offer, including furni-
ture, glass and jewelry.
There is no charge to
attend.
"It gives people an
opportunity to see a
variety of antiques in
one place," said Karin
Feagles, who is in
charge of organizing
the event.
"The people who
will be selling will
have knowledge, so
you can ask questions
about a piece," said
"I think it's more


threatening to walk
into an antique mall,"
Feagles said. "Here it
will all be spread out
nicely and the people
will know what they
are selling."
The show will be set
up in the ballroom of
the O'Club from 3-8
p.m. on Oct. 30 and 9
a.m.-4 p.m. on Oct. 31.
The club will offer
special drink prices on
Oct. 30, and on
Saturday the grill will
be open for lunch.
Feagles said there
will be a lot of differ-
ent eras represented,
with most of the items
from the 1900s or
younger, including
Depression glass, car-
nival glass and retro
items.
So far 10 dealers
have signed up, includ-
ing Oooodles, an
antique mall in
Pensacola, but there is
still room for a few
more. Spaces can be
rented for $75 for two
days.
Those interested in
participating can call
Feagles at 292-8063.

Pensacola Little Theatre

"The Rocky Horror Show" is back at
Pensacola Little Theatre. After last Halloween's
successful run, the stage musical that inspired
the cult film is returning to PLT.

p.m. Prices are $15-$25, with a $2 discount
available to senior citizens 60 or older, full-time

are on sale now at the theater's box office or by

Many of the same cast members are back.
Fans will find all the fun songs and campy
scenes, along with the energy and excitement of
live theatre. Audience members are encouraged
to dress in costume and sing along, but leave
props at home. A packet of props appropriate for
use in the theater will be available at the door for
$5 each.

Story, photos by Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterAmonth ago, Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast had never had a female firefighter. Today they have three.Id hire a dozen more women if they were as highly qualified as these three, said Fire Chief Lewis Monti, whose fire department includes Naval Air Station Pensacola and Naval Air Station Whiting Field. His new hires include Firefighter/EMT Stephanie Peterson, who comes from Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Va.; Firefighter/EMT Angela Johnson, who was previously employed as a Department of Defense contract firefighter overseas; and Firefighter/EMT Brittany Shaffer, who was working as a firefighter in Crestview prior to coming to NASP. All three women agree its no big deal to them to be the first women in the department. As Peterson likes to put it: I just have a different bathroom, she said. And Monti doesnt see anything special about being the first fire chief to hire females as line firefighters. But he is happy they were able to be hired all at the same time. Technically, Peterson was the first to arrive Sept. 13. Johnson and Shaffer officially started Oct. 13. All three are now ready to go. Monti doesnt expect anything to change. It's nice to have the new professionals aboard, regardless of gender, he said. There was one change some personal protective equipment has to be special ordered. After all, women are sized differently than their counterparts. But how the job is handled will be the same for everyone the same gear, the same air packs and they will carry the same hoses. They are expected to pull each other out if the need arises.

The seasonal flu vaccinations will be given in the Outpatient Clinic located on the east side of the hospitals main building. Enrolled beneficiaries are Defense Department-eligible persons that have their primary care provided at the Navy hospital. The vaccinations will be available on a walk-in basis between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. In general, anyone who wants to reduce their chances of getting the flu can get the seasonal flu vaccine. However, certain people should get vaccinated each year either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for high risk persons. People at high risk of complication, such as children under 5 years of age; those who are pregnant; people over age 65; and anyone with chronic medical conditions, should be high on the list for getting a seasonal flu vaccination.

Naval hospital to provide evening ‘Seasonal Flu Vaccine Shot Ex’By Debbie Dortch NAVSUP Office of Corporate CommunicationsMechanicsburg, Pa. (NNS) Fourteen afloat and four ashore messes have been selected from U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Commander, Naval Installations Command, as finalists for the 2010 Captain Edward F. Ney Memorial Awards, which encourage and recognize culinary excellence in Navy Food service programs. NAS Pensacola is one of the finalists. A team of food service experts perform a one-day (Oct. 13) evaluation at the general mess. They arrive on board around 6 a.m. and are on board until 5 p.m. They evaluate the lunchtime meal using a preestablished checklist. Most evaluations are accomplished in port, but occasionally due to operational commitments, our evaluation teams must get underway with the ship or submarine to complete the evaluation, said Naval Supply Systems Commands (NAVSUP) Navy Food Service Director Cmdr. Tom Dailey. There are more than 300 messes in the U.S. Navy. Making it to the finals in Ney award selections is a big accomplishment, said Ney Program Manager Roxanne Hauman. It means the 18 nominated galleys have worked tirelessly to ensure all details of food preparation were addressed and they represent the Navy with utmost precision and efficiency. They are the best of the best in Navy food service and deserve the highest honors and recognition that can be bestowed upon any command.See Ney Award on page 2 Annual retirement seminar Saturday (Oct. 17) Firefighter/EMT Stephanie Peterson, the first female firefighter at Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast, works at a controlled burn Oct. 12 at Barin Field, a naval outlying field (NOLF) near Foley, Ala. Finalists identified for best Navy mess award; NAS Pensacola makes listBy Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterWhether its a health care question or a legal question, military retirees and their spouses should be able to get answers at the 37th annual Gulf Coast Area Retired Military Seminar Oct. 17 onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola. The event, sponsored by NASPs Fleet and Family Support Center, will be held from 9 a.m.-noon in the base theater, Bldg. 633, just south of the chapel. D.J. Kerr, director of the Retired Activities Office at FFSC, will emcee the event that often attracts people from out of state. Things have changed in a year, Kerr said. So people are encouraged to come for updates or just to see old friends. Its like a one-stop shopping center. Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Carey Dobbins of Pensacola has been attending the seminar for the past several years with his wife, Olena. We gain a little bit of knowledge in addition to what we have already gained, he said, adding, he mainly goes for the updates. High on his list is the latest information from Naval Hospital Pensacola. Last year the event attracted more than 400 people. Kerr is hoping for a similar showing, but the attendance often depends on what the retirement issues are, he said. Both retired and soon-to-be retired are encouraged to come. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m., with the event starting at 9 a.m. Dannyo Chow from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will be the guest speaker and will talk about issues concerning retiree pay and survivor benefits. Typically, speakers like Chow will also answer individual questions after giving aSee Seminar on page 2Three women firefighters now part of base departmentWomen will serve on submarines, Navy secretary saysBy John J.

Appearing on Comedy Centrals The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Mabus signaled that the Navy is moving closer to allowing coed personnel on submarines. It will take a little while because youve got to interview people and youve got to be nuclear trained, he said, referring to prerequisite steps before a Sailor is assigned to a submarine.

The T-6 has replaced the Navy’s T34C aircraft that for more than 40 years has served to provide primary flight training for student pilots, NFOs and navigators attached to the Naval Air Training Command. It will also replace the Air Force T-37. Maintained by the United States Coast Guard since 1939, the Pensacola Lighthouse, aboard NAS Pensacola, originally began as the lightship Aurora Borealis in June 1823. Evolving through structural and location changes, the current facility was built in 1856 and at night still shines for Sailors 27 miles out at sea. Established in 1921 as the Air Station News,the name Gosportwas adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.Gosportis an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing, The Rhodes Building, 41 North Jefferson Street, Suite 402, Pensacola, FL 32504, in the interest of military and civilian personnel and their families aboard the Naval Air Station Pensacola, Saufley Field and Corry Station.

This years consolidated Pensacola Naval Air Station complex observance will be held Oct. 22 at the National Naval Aviation Museum from 10:30-11:30 a.m. The theme is Expectation + Opportunity = Full Participation. The featured speaker will be Master Chief Petty Officer James W. Wilson. Master Chief Wilson entered the Navy in 1977. After two successful aircrew tours he was selected to become an instructor at the Navys elite Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (S.E.R.E) school in Brunswick, Maine. Upon his selection to master chief petty officer he transferred to Norfolk, Virginia as the Carrier Air Wing Seventeen ordnance master chief. It was during this tour aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN 65) that Master Chief Wilson was severely injured leading to the loss of his right leg below the knee. Contact members of the Disability Employment Awareness Committee, Equal Employment Opportunity Representatives, or call Audrey Austin at 452-3190 for more information. This is no-cost training. While tickets are not necessary, appropriate supervisory approval to attend this training is required. All hands are encouraged to participate in the Disability Employment Awareness Month Observance consistent with current mission commitments (see Training Announcement # 09-07). Firefighters from page 1level response. Peterson has already proved she can handle the job, said Station Chief Jim Bennett, her immediate supervisor. Since day one, she was a go-getter, she knew her job and she has been tested numerous times, he said. She definitely has the heart for the job. Recently she volunteered to help with a controlled burn, a new skill for her. Its interesting to learn the science behind it, she said. Peterson, 34, has experience as a fire inspector at Naval Air Station Oceania. She was a shipboard firefighter in the Navy and has 10 years of civil service fire work. It is my career, she said. She comes from a military family, including a father who was a career Marine. So far, no problems. They are brothers, just like my brothers up in Little Creek, she said. Once you are on the job and you prove you are able to work side-by-side with them, they accept you pretty easily. Johnson, 31, will be settling down in one area for the first time in years. Thats scarier than the firefighting job, she said. Johnson is originally from Minnesota, but has been firefighting overseas for most of the past seven years. She has lived in Iraq, Antarctica and more recently Ecuador. Prior to going overseas, she worked in Minnesota as a firefighter. She brings about a dozen years of experience to the job. I completely fell into it, Johnson said of her firefighting career. She worked as a firefighter in Chanhassen, Minn., where her pay was based on the number of calls she worked. She worked other jobs to make ends meet. Thats what I did for fun, she said. Thats how it started. Shaffer, 23, also grew up in a military family and moved to the area in 2004 with her family. She now lives in Navarre. Her interest in becoming a firefighter started with the Destin Fire Control District about two years ago. Shaffer is working on a degree in emergency management and disaster management, when shes not riding her road bike 32 miles along the beach. Shaffer said she wanted to be part of the military system. I just like the structure, she said. As the veteran of the three, Peterson said she is willing to be a mentor if need be. One of the most important things she has learned as a firefighter is to be humble and ask for help when you need it. It took me a long time to learn that one, she said. It takes a bigger person to ask for help.FluEx from page 1Tests have shown that both the flu injectable and the nasal-spray vaccine are effective at preventing the flu. If you have questions about the seasonal flu vaccine, and are not sure if you should get it, contact your primary healthcare provider. Some people should not be vaccinated without first consulting a physician. These include people who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs; people who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination in the past; people who developed Guillian-Barr syndrome (GBS) within 6 weeks of getting an influenza vaccine previously. Also, people who have a moderate or severe illness with a fever should wait until their symptoms lessen to get vaccinated.Ney Award from page 1The work they do truly enhances the quality of life for our Navy personnel, Dailey added. The secretary of the Navy will announce the 2010 winners in February. First place winners will be recognized April 17 by Rear Adm. Michael J. Lyden, Commander, NAVSUP, and Patrick Beach, chairman of the board, International Food Service Executives Association (IFSEA), during a special program. Its a privilege and a unique opportunity to be able to have this kind of specialized training, making these culinary specialists top chefs for the Navy and well qualified for their profession once they enter the private sector, Dailey added. Finalist is the ashore category include Naval Air Station Pensacola; Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk; Naval Air Base Sigonella, Sigonella, Italy; and Commander, Fleet Activities Naval Base Yokosuka, Yokosuka, Japan. Finalists in the afloat category include USS Ohio (SSGN 726) (Blue), USS Olympia (SSN 717), USS Wyoming (SSBN 742) (Blue), USS Providence (SSN 719), USS Doyle (FFG 39), USS Vandergrift (FFG 48), USS The Sullivans (DDG 95), USS James E.

I wish the best of luck to all 18 Ney nominees, Hauman noted. Seven of the 18 will take top honors in the spring, but, again, they're all worthy of recognition. The Capt. Edward F. Ney Memorial Award was established in 1958 by the secretary of the Navy and IFSEA to improve and recognize the quality of food service in the Navy. IFSEA is a nonprofit food service association dedicated to enhancing the professional image and growth of persons serving the food service industry. Evaluation teams are made up of culinary experts from Navy and IFSEA. The award was named in honor of Capt. Edward F. Ney, Supply Corps, United States Navy, head of the Subsistence Division of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts from 1940 to 1945, supervising the procurement of food for the United States Navy during World War II.

But Mabus is one of several top Navy officials recently to call for an end to the policy. The Navy secretarys comments amplify his previous endorsement of ending the ban. This is something the (chief of naval operations) and I have been working on since I came into office, Mabus, who was confirmed as Navy secretary in May, said last week. I believe women should have every opportunity to serve at sea, and that includes aboard submarines. Navy Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations, acknowledged that special accommodations would be a factor in the decision, but one thats not insurmountable. Having commanded a mixed-gender surface combatant, I am very comfortable addressing integrating women into the submarine force, he said in a statement last month. I am familiar with the issues as well as the value of diverse crews. Roughead said he has been personally engaged through the years in the Navys debate of the feasibility of assigning women to submarines.

GOSPORT October 16, 2009PAGE3 By T.D. Jackson Special to American Forces Press ServiceCAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. Some time ago a co-worker of mine came to work with what I thought was a black eye. I noticed it as I was talking to her, and when it registered, my eyes sort of slid away from her face and began looking everywhere but at her. I thought, I am not going there, and I went on with my day without giving it too much thought. Because I wasnt sure, I didnt feel the need to say something, but the sad part is that if it had been a more obvious black eye, I know I wouldnt have said a thing; I would have been too scared. Just as I learned in the suicide prevention training weve had here over the past few months, I should have asked those painful but caring questions: Are you OK? And in this case, Did somebody hit you? October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and women 20 to 24 are at the greatest risk. Heres one you probably knew: Most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police. And one to blow your mind: Men are victims, too. More than 834,000 men report being domestically assaulted annually. People who are abused often feel as though no one will believe them, or they think they have nowhere to go for help. At Camp Atterbury or at any other military installation, God knows (pun intended) you can call the chaplain at any time. Behavioral Health, too. Even though this was some time ago, every now and then I still wonder, What if somebody did hit her? What if she needed to talk, but everyone for different reasons was afraid to talk about it? As a leader, I failed her, but this anecdote is my grasp at redemption. My former co-worker probably never will set her sights on this article, but if someone did put hands on her, I would tell her Im sorry sorry it happened to her, and sorry I was a chicken. If I had weighed the cost of embarrassment against the cost of caring, I wouldnt be writing this now. I'm hoping maybe she didnt have a black eye. She may have as I have on many occasions caught a pitch with her face during softball practice. She may have as I have on many occasions stood a little too close to the top cabinet door as it swung open. For all I know, she could have gotten popped by a feisty rugrat. I dont know, and I never will. But what I do know is that although I cannot concern myself with every detail of a persons life, I can be aware of changes in behavior, moods and certainly appearance. I was in a leadership position and along with that title comes responsibility. It is my responsibility to make sure my people are OK at work and at home. The mark of a good leader is the ability to listen, and, my friend, although I am late, I am all ears. By Mary Grimes Army Wounded Warrior ProgramWord on the street is that the U.S. military has announced October 2009 as Domestic Abuse Prevention Month. I like that about the military. In my view, it is one of the few great institutions in our country that doesnt avoid pointing out that we not only have issues worthy of our care and attention, but repeatedly reminds us that we can as individuals and as a team, do something about them. Since entering the military in the early 1970s, I cant remember a time when regardless of my duty station, the military community wasnt reminded through command information channels and or public affairs initiatives of its more or less zero tolerance in matters pertaining to domestic abuse and/or violence. With more than 30 years of government service to my journey, Id have to say that the tireless efforts made by the armed forces toward keeping information of such magnitude on the front burner, most certainly is an effort worthy of applause. While the topic of domestic abuse is not something any of us finds pleasant, it is unfortunately a truth that lies among us. The reasons for its existence are about as diverse as the Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Soldiers, veterans and family members who experience or have experienced the painful grip of its embrace. Through all ranks, the harsh reality is that domestic abuse all too often manages to rear its ugly head in environments that wed like to believe are exempt or are above reproach. The military realizes this, and I believe has and continues to do everything it can to rid its ranks and communities of abuse of any form. Are we our brothers keeper? Each of us must commit ourselves to taking a step forward in the push to eradicate domestic abuse. Regardless of its form whether it be physical, sexual, psychological or verbal, domestic abuse prevention begins with a commitment to stop it in its tracks. I will go so far as to say that we all can do a little bit better when we know or even sense that another is in harms way. Pick up the phone. Seek the assistance of authorities. Churches, teachers, unit commanders, neighbors and trusted friends are available to help, and that help comes without judgment or criticism. The October 2009 theme for Domestic Abuse Prevention Awareness Month is Make the Right Choice! Act to Prevent Domestic Abuse! That is a battle cry to which we all must adhere, for only by our actions and our efforts to prevent this insidious violence, can we anticipate the kind of change that saves lives, restores lost self-esteem and returns homes and families to a healthy norm.No one — including men — deserves to be abused Domestic Abuse Prevention Month: choose to act to prevent

PAGE GOSPORT 4 October 16, 2009NASP auxiliary police make the gradeBy Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterSixteen new auxiliary police graduated Oct. 9 from the Security Reaction Force basic course at Naval Air Station Pensacola adding to the bases growing security force. This is a good class, said Officer Matthew Capp, as he watched the latest students go through the Rambo Day activities prior to graduating. Capp is one of four training supervisors TRASUPs authorized to teach the course. The latest graduates are all enlisted coming from different commands at NASP, including the Naval Air Technical Training Center and Corry Station. Although not in this group, earlier graduates included women and Reservists. While they are still stationed at NASP they will help at various entry control points (ECP) and with random anti-terrorism measures (RAM). They will also be required to train once monthly with the regular security force. Typically there will be two auxiliary police officers on watch in one day. By the time they arrive at Rambo Day, they have already been pepper sprayed (oleoresin capsicum) that was in Week 1 of the three-week course. And they have spent almost a whole week on the range shooting the M-9 pistol, the shotgun and the M-16 rifle. So they get to do a lot of training, Capp said. Its also good for their military careers. These guys are going to be ahead of the game from everybody else when they transfer to their next duty station, Capp said. They can put these qualifications on their evaluations. And if they go where they are required to have been certified with pepper spray (OC), they can show they have already been through that. They dont have to go through it again, he said. For Level 2, the OC is sprayed on a rag and held to their forehead for a couple of seconds. Its not nearly as bad as Level 1, he said. Their range skills qualify them for additional ribbons and medals for the pistol and rifle. From this group, five have already qualified as experts with the rifle and 13 qualified as experts with the pistol. The training is similar to police training in the early stages. NASP DoN police officers have to go through a 12-week field training officer course that includes report writing, state and federal law and the UCMJ, learning to operate an emergency vehicle, running drivers licenses and registration checks, learning basic life support and going through all the weapons courses semi-annually. NASP typically has two Security Reaction classes per year in the March/April time frame and the September/October time frame. Sometimes its really cool and sometimes its not, Capp said. On Oct. 8 it was not. Right now there are about 35 auxiliary security force members, with the new 16 that will add about 50 percent more. But of that class, 10 or so are ready to transfer. Capp said the security department would like to offer the class quarterly. The commands are short as it is and they have to give up bodies for three weeks, he said. For information about the next Security Reaction Force Basic Course, Contact MA1 Jacob Frick (auxiliary force coordinator) at the NASP Police Training Department at 452-8378, ext. 3136.

From Sue Brink NAVFAC Southeast Public Affairs OfficerNaval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) is celebrating energy awareness during the month of October and even though they are always working toward the presidents goal of energy independence, this celebration provides the opportunity to further educate the public. There are several regulations, policies and guidance that the Navy follows to promote energy efficiency and conservation, said Lt. Cmdr. Oscar Bernal, production officer of Public Works Department Pensacola. The Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 2005 and Executive Order 13423 were the first two governing documents that held government agencies accountable to conserve energy through quantifiable milestones. Further guidance and mandates, both at the federal and regional level have assisted installations in developing long term goals by implementing energy-saving resources. Our resource efficiency manager (REM) is vital with ensuring a successful program, said Bernal. They (REMs) are the installations energy expert. REMs focus on reducing the cost of energy, water, fuel, waste disposal and pollution prevention through improved practices, equipment modifications and consumer awareness. So where does he or she start? Each installation is required to audit all the buildings when combined they consume 75 percent of the installations energy. Through these audits, projects are developed that target energy-consuming systems to make them more efficient. One the most effective methods used by NASPs Public Works Department is the Utility Energy Savings Contract (UESC). This program is a partnership with local utility companies that allows them to finance the installation energy-saving projects. In return, the expected dollar savings generated from these projects is paid to the utility company eliminating up-front costs. This win-win situation reduces energy consumption while the utility company is provided the dollar savings (as if the project never happened) to repay the loan within 15 years. The next article in Gosport will focus on key energy projects at NASP. GOSPORT October 16, 2009PAGE5Stay ‘Fire Smart’ –don’t let a home fire happen to youMost of the time the report identifies the number of victims, their ages, probable cause, and (if in a home) whether or not there were working smoke detectors. We have been informed of five or more deaths in a single fire, with ages ranging from infants to age 91, with causes from smoking, cooking, electrical, gas or electric space heaters and various other causes. During the week of Oct. 4-10 we asked you to Stay Fire Smart, Dont Get Burned and we at Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast hope the message is practiced throughout the whole year, and not just for a week or so. Please slow down, take some time this weekend, and look around your house to see what fire safety hazards you have, and please dont assume you dont have any hazards because we all do. First, check your smoke detector if you dont have one get one for each level of the home, the hallways outside of bedrooms, and inside the bedrooms. Test them monthly, replace the batteries every six months when the time changes. Look around your home for electrical hazards such as unsafe wiring or overloaded circuits, improper storage practices, candle placement, consider having fireplaces and furnaces inspected and if you have gas appliances or other carbon monoxide producing devices have a carbon monoxide detector. These are just a few of many items you need be on the lookout for concerning fire safety, if you have questions please call us at the Fire Prevention Bureau at 4528759 and remember the warning, Fire It Can Happen To You Think About It. Home fires, such as the one that destroyed this kitchen, only take a careless moment to start. Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast urges homeowners to take the lessons of fire prevention to heart throughout the year, not just during National Fire Prevention Month (October).Third in a series of fire prevention articles during October National Fire Prevention MonthManaging the energy program at NAS PensacolaFrom Craig Lewis Fire Prevention Chief, Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast Every day, Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast receives a report from the U.S. Fire Administration on the previous days civilian fire fatalities.

PAGE GOSPORT 6 October 16, 2009 New personnel qualifications released for LS, MC and RP ratingsBy MCCS(SW/AW) Melissa Weatherspoon Center for Service Support Public AffairsNEWPORT, R.I. (NNS) The Center for Service Support in Newport released new personnel qualification standards (PQS) Oct. 1 for logistics specialists (LS), mass communication specialists (MC) and religious program specialists (RP) ratings. A PQS is a compilation of the minimum knowledge and skills that an individual must demonstrate in order to qualify to stand watches or perform other specific routine duties necessary for the safety, security or proper operation of a ship, aircraft or support system. These new qualifications standards reflect what is necessary to be successful in the fleet for the LS, MC and RP ratings, said Richard Price, the CSS PQS manager. As technology, requirements and ratings change, we will continue to update PQS to help the 21st-century Sailor stay current and relevant. The electronic-only versions of the PQS booklets are available on Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) via the Navy PQS link found on the Quick Links tab on the left side of the main NKO page. From the Navy PQS page, Sailors should follow the PQS 43200 Series link on the left side. The Center for Service Support (CSS) is comprised of active-duty, civilian and contractor personnel, who direct the training efforts of 13 learning sites around the Fleet, including the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, Md., and the Naval Technical Training Center in Meridian, Miss. The CSS team ensures curriculum is current, as each team member works to develop innovative training methods aimed at preparing Sailors in the logistics, administrative and media ratings to support the Fleets warfighting mission. CSS was established in Athens, Ga., on Feb. 7, 2003. It moved to Naval Station Newports Fitzgerald Hall, adjacent to the Surface Warfare Officers School July 8. From Chief of Naval Personnel Public AffairsWASHINGTON (NNS) Effective Oct. 1, as designated in NAVADMIN 284/09, the logistics specialist (LS) rating was established, encompassing more than 11,000 postal clerks (PC) and storekeepers (SK), who merged into the single designator. The merger comprises all active-duty Sailors and Reserve component E-6 and above, formerly designated as SK and PC, and will include Reserve component E-1 to E-5 beginning Apr. 1, 2010, according to the message. As an element of the Navys total force strategy, this merger will capitalize on the knowledge, skills and abilities found in the two ratings and apply them toward a unified mission, said Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, chief of naval personnel. Merging postal clerks and storekeepers together brings nearly 100 years of logistical experience to the logistics specialist rating. In addition to enhancing mission accomplishment, the merger lends to steadier career progression for Sailors by aligning the global demand and supply for logistical talent. Logistics specialists will be identified by the crossed keys rating badge, formally the symbol of the storekeeper rating. The conversion of rating badges must be completed by Oct. 1, 2011.

LS rating now includes postal clerks and storekeepersNavy names ship after civil rights activist Medgar EversFrom Department of DefenseWASHINGTON (NNS) The Navy announced recently the newest Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo/ ammunition ship (T-AKE) would be named USNS Medgar Evers. The announcement was made by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus during a Jackson State University speaking engagement in Mississippi. The Navys newest underway replenishment ship recognizes Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers (1925-1963) who forever changed race relations in America. At a time when the country was wrestling to end segregation and racial injustice, Evers led efforts to secure the right to vote for all African Americans and to integrate public facilities, schools, and restaurants. On June 12, 1963, the Mississippi native was assassinated in the driveway of his home. Evers death prompted President John F. Kennedy to ask the Congress for a comprehensive Civil Rights Bill. Designated T-AKE 13, Medgar Evers will be the 13th ship of the class and is being built by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego. As a combat logistics force ship, Medgar Evers will help the Navy maintain a worldwide forward presence by delivering ammunition, food, fuel, and other dry cargo to U.S. and allied ships at sea. As part of Military Sealift Commands Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force, Medgar Evers will be designated as a United States Naval Ship (USNS) and will be crewed by 124 civil service mariners and 11 Navy Sailors. The ship is designed to operate independently for extended periods at sea, can carry a helicopter, is 689 feet in length, has an overall beam of 106 feet, has a navigational draft of 30 feet, displaces approximately 42,000 tons and is capable of reaching a speed of 20 knots using a single-shaft, diesel-electric propulsion system. For more news from the Secretary of the Navy, visit www.navy.mil/ local/secnav . Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, a former governor of Mississippi, recently announed that the Navy will name a dry cargo ammunition ship after the civil rights leader Medgar Evers. The future USNS Medgar Evers (T-AKE 13) is designed to provide replenishment services to U.S. Navy ships at sea, to include collation ships from other nations.

Graham Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans Public AffairsNEW ORLEANS (NNS) Thousands of residents from around the New Orleans area began lining up along the banks of the Mississippi River before daybreak to bid the PreCommissioning Unit New York farewell as it departed from the Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding in Avondale Oct. 13. Lola Lass, president of The Greater New Orleans Executives Association (GNOEA), said her group suggested the send-off celebration to allow the community one final opportunity to salute the ship, its crew and the men and women who spent more than five years building it. The Line the Levees event showcased the hard work, love and dedication that went into building this ship, said Lass. It allows citizens of New Orleans to pay homage to the victims, families and first responders of 9/11. The 684-foot amphibious transport dock ship contains about 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center, felled during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It received two 21-gun salutes, as it passed Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans (NAS JRB) and Naval Support Activity New Orleans (NSA). Capt. Bill Snyder, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans (NAS JRB) commanding officer, said that the ships transit was symbolic. I'm thrilled to have witnessed history, said Snyder. There has been overwhelming support for the U.S. Navy in this area. I'm thrilled that so many people took time out of their days to participate in this event. Snyder also thanked parish leaders and volunteers who participated in the event, citing the long hours spent preparing for the ships transit down the river. Plaquemines Parish officials have been dynamic in their support, said Snyder. Granting us access to the site and the security support from their sheriff's department was key in preparing for such a large event. Master-at-Arms 1st Class (SW) Derrick Tyler, assigned to NAS JRBs security department, said he was impressed by the immense turnout and support throughout the area. When you see hundreds of everyday citizens waving flags and holding up signs, it can be very powerful, said Tyler. You are used to that seeing ships return or go on a deployment, but when I saw this one leaving it felt different. America wants to this ship to do amazing things. New York will be commissioned Nov. 7 in New York. The New York is the fifth amphibious transport dock of the San Antonio class. The ship was named New York after the state and her motto is Strength Forged Through Sacrifice. Never Forget.

BSECTIONOctober 16, 2009 Marine course teaches to L.E.A.D. from the front;see page B2 Spotlight LIFEGOSPORTAn estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States. If youre worried about developing breast cancer, or if you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease, one way to deal with your concerns is to get as much information as possible. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in one or both of the breasts. Breast cancer usually develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the milk-producing areas of the breast. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (after lung cancer). Although African-American women have a slightly lower incidence of breast cancer after age 40 than caucasian women, they have a slightly higher incidence rate of breast cancer before age 40. However, African-American women are more likely to die from breast cancer at every age. Breast cancer is much less common in males; by comparison, the disease is about 100 times more common among women. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,910 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among men in the United States in 2009. Types of breast cancer There are several different types of breast cancer that can be divided into two main categories noninvasive cancers and invasive cancers. Noninvasive cancer may also be called carcinoma in situ. Noninvasive breast cancers are confined to the ducts or lobules and they do not spread to surrounding tissues. The two types of noninvasive breast cancers are ductal carcinoma in situ (referred to as DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (referred to as LCIS). It is known that hormones in a womans body, such as estrogen and progesterone, can play a role in the development of breast cancer. In breast cancer, estrogen causes a doubling of cancer cells every 36 hours. The growing tumor needs to increase its blood supply to provide food and oxygen; progesterone seems to cause stromal cells. Non-invasive breast cancer: The majority of noninvasive breast cancers are DCIS. In DCIS, the cancer cells are found only in the milk duct of the breast. If DCIS is not treated, it may progress to invasive cancer. In LCIS, the abnormal cells are found only in the lobules of the breast. Unlike DCIS, LCIS is not considered to be a cancer. It is more like a warning sign of increased risk of developing an invasive breast cancer in the same or opposite breast. While LCIS is a risk factor for invasive cancer, it doesnt actually develop into invasive breast cancer in many women. Invasive breast cancer. Invasive or infiltrating breast cancers penetrate through normal breast tissue (such as the ducts and lobules) and invade surrounding areas. They are more serious than noninvasive cancers because they can spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones, liver, lungs, and brain. There are several kinds of invasive breast cancers. The most common type is invasive ductal carcinoma, which appears in the ducts and accounts for about 80 percent of all breast cancer cases. There are differences in the various types of invasive breast cancer, but the treatment options are similar for all of them. Not all breast cancers are alike Not all breast cancers are alike there are different stages of breast cancer based on the size of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread. For doctor and patient, knowing the stage of breast cancer is the most important factor in choosing among treatment options. Doctors use a physical exam, biopsy, and other tests to determine breast cancer stage. Stages of breast cancer The most common system used to describe the stages of breast cancer is the AJCC/TNM (American Joint Committee on Cancer/Tumor-NodesMetastases) system. This system takes into account the tumor size and spread, whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes, and whether it has spread to distant organs (metastasis). All of this information is then combined in a process called stage grouping. The stage is expressed as a Roman numeral. After stage 0 (carcinoma in situ), the other stages are I through IV (14). Some of the stages are further sub-divided using the letters A, B, and C. In general, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV (4), means a more advanced cancer. These are the stages of breast cancer: Stage 0 Stage 0 is carcinoma in situ, early stage cancer that is confined to the ducts or the lobules, depending on where it started. It has not gone into the tissues in the breast nor spread to other organs in the body. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): This is the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer, when abnormal cells are in the lining of a duct. DCIS is also called intraductal carcinoma. DCIS sometimes becomes invasive cancer if not treated. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS): This condition begins in the milk-making glands but does not go through the wall of the lobules. LCIS seldom becomes invasive cancer; however, having LCIS in one breast increases the risk of cancer for both breasts. Stage I Stage I is an early stage of invasive breast cancer. In Stage I, cancer cells have not spread beyond the breast and the tumor is no more than two centimeters (three-quarters of an inch) across. Stage II Stage II is one of the following: The tumor in the breast is no more than two centimeters (three-quarters of an inch) across. The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. The tumor is between two and five centimeters (three-quarters of an inch to two inches). The cancer may have spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. The tumor is larger than five centimeters (two inches). The cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. Stage III Stage III may be a large tumor, but the cancer has not spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes. It is locally advanced cancer. Stage IIIA Stage IIIA is one of the following: The tumor in the breast is smaller than five centimeters (two inches). The cancer has spread to underarm lymph nodes that are attached to each other or to other structures. The tumor is more than five centimeters across. The cancer has spread to the underarm lymph nodes. Stage IIIB Stage IIIB is one of the following: The tumor has grown into the chest wall or the skin of the breast. The cancer has spread to lymph nodes behind the breastbone. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare type of Stage IIIB breast cancer. The breast looks red and swollen because cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. Stage IIIC Stage IIIC is a tumor of any size. It has spread in one of the following ways: The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes behind the breastbone and under the arm. The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under or above the collarbone. Stage IV Stage IV is distant metastatic cancer. The cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Recurrent cancer Recurrent cancer is cancer that has come back (recurred) after a period of time when it could not be detected. It may recur locally in the breast or chest wall as another primary cancer, or it may recur in any other part of the body, such as the bone, liver, or lungs, which is generally referred to as metastatic cancer. From www.nbcam.orgBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year.

Story, photo by Jay Cope NAS Whiting Field Public AffairsVolunteering at schools is nothing new for military members at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, but after the Helicopter Training Squadron Eight/ Hobbs Middle School partnership lapsed for several years, it was important to re-invigorate the program. With that in mind, Hobbs principal, Stephen Shell and members from the aircraft squadron agreed to a flagship contract focused on helping the kids. I am very excited about the process we are undertaking today, Shell said before signing the agreement. We are very connected to the military here. It is a big part of Hobbs Middle School and we are excited by a renewal of this partnership. The agreement was signed by Shell, HT-8 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Michael Fisher, and the squadrons volunteer coordinator Lt. Stephen Skinner. It delineates the volunteer needs of the school and areas where HT-8 can help promote school goals. Planned commitments include helping with: individual and classroom tutors, student mentors, school beautification projects, field trips, student athletic fitness, substance abuse prevention programs and more. The agreement is a one-year partnership, but with an intention to renew it annually. The school and the squadron have actually had agreements dating back 10 or 15 years according to Shell, but following Hurricane Ivan, other priorities took precedence and the partnership faded. Fisher is looking forward to getting back on track. I want us to be a positive influence on you, he said to the 30 or so students in attendance. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to reengage in this important partnership. October 16, 2009 SPOTLIGHTGOSPORT B2PAGE By Bob Torres Naval Air Station Corpus Christi Public AffairsCORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (NNS) A change of command ceremony for Chief of Naval Air Training Command (CNATRA) was held on board Naval Air Station Corpus Christi recently. Rear Adm. Mark D. Guadagnini relinquished command as CNATRA to Rear Adm. William G. Sizemore II, during the ceremony with Vice Adm. Thomas J. Kilcline, commander, Naval Air Forces, as the keynote speaker. Guadagnini, who has served as the CNATRA since Aug. 15, 2007, also served as the head of human resources for the Naval Aviation Enterprise. The most important achievements of CNATRA over the past two years are a renewed dedication to professionalism, said Guadagnini. And the new measures by which we gauge the training of aerial combat professionals, through their: knowledge, skills, and experience KSEs. Guadagnini, a 1980 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, has flown 95 combat missions. He has operated from the decks of 12 different aircraft carriers and participated in operations Desert Storm, Provide Comfort, Deliberate Force, Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He has more than 4,600 hours of flight time in 50 different aircraft. The highlight of my tour is the people here. They are the heroes, said Guadagnini. People getting up every day coming to work and doing things in defense of our country. Every day people doing their work for this organization are the heroes. People on this base and people on the CNATRA staff that make things happen. Guadagnini was referring to the staff that helped him oversee the Naval Air Training Command comprised of five training air wings located on naval air stations in Florida, Mississippi and Texas. The wings are home to 17 training squadrons, all training future naval aviators. This includes joint training with the Air Force on bases in Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia. CNATRA also oversees the Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels. One of the highlights serving as the CNATRA has been having his son, Ensign Mark D. Guadagnini, who is also training to be a naval aviator, stationed here as a student. And although he didnt say much about his son, pride was evident when Guadagnini said he was proud of all new naval aviators for their patriotism. Guadagninis next assignment will be as commander, Carrier Strike Group 9, in Everett, Wash. Sizemore comes to the Training Command from San Diego, Calif., where he served as chief of staff for commander, Naval Air Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet. This is all part of a realistic field exercise that culminates the MATSG-21 four week Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) course. LEAD provides relevant training to junior servicemembers, exploiting every opportunity to make Marines better prepared for combat as the Marine Corps operational environment evolves. At NAS Pensacola, Marines conduct entrylevel training for 79 aviation primary warfare specialties with an annual throughput of more than 5,000 enlisted Marines. The current fight requires Marines to be prepared both mentally and physically for operations outside their military occupational specialty. In light of this, nearly every enlisted Marine awaiting training gets a chance to take the LEAD course where class sizes range from 40-100 Marines. LEAD is a leadership tool and excellent PME (Professional Military Education) for E-1s to E3s, said Corporal David Cole, LEAD non-commissioned officer in charge (OIC). 2nd Lt. Shane Vigil, LEAD OIC, agreed: The LEAD program is a great way for junior Marines straight from Marine Combat Training to develop their leadership and communication skills. Lieutenants who are awaiting flight training serve as LEAD staff and instructors while NCOs mentor the students. For 2nd Lt. Greg Czyzewski, LEAD executive officer, the best part is knowing that Ive positively impacted junior enlisted Marines so that they can better themselves and be successful. The lieutenants, all recent graduates of The Basic School, bring a depth of theoretical knowledge which is complemented by the NCOs battlefield experiences. Developing the Marines character attributes and mental toughness begins in the classroom, utilizing Marine Corps Institute (MCI) classes such as Math for Marines, Terrorism Awareness and Personal Financial Management. Fulfilling these PME requirements early in a career prevents delays in promotion to E-4 of otherwise qualified Marines. Current operational tempo has precluded many Marines from successfully completing their MCI classes in a timely fashion; LEAD counters this problem. Instruction in these courses also addresses current issues and how they affect Marines combat readiness. We are teaching these young warriors to think for themselves, 1st Lt. Benny Kandhiraj explained as he prepared a class. Counter-terrorism operations are dynamic; the Marines ability to quickly adapt to this ever changing situation is what will make them and the Corps successful. Combat tactics taught progress from fire team (four Marines) to squad level (13 Marines), and at the conclusion of the course, graduates are able to give, receive and execute combat orders. Also, experienced corpsmen teach advanced first aid and field triage in order to qualify the Marines as combat life savers. Martial arts instruction develops the Marines physical readiness as it builds confidence and provides for advancement to the next skill level. Students are also put through a series of daily physical training including MATSG-21s Combat Conditioning Course: an obstacle course, a 15-station circuit course and beach/trail runs. The results of LEAD are significant. In LEAD I had a chance to actually lead (fellow) Marines instead of how it was at boot camp where only some Marines got to lead, said Lance Cpl. Chris Britton, now a mentor, about his time in the program. As Marines engage in the challenging training provided, their confidence and camaraderie is boosted and there is a decrease in conduct violations, both on and off base. When the Marine goes to their first unit, commanders receive Marines that already possess some tactical proficiency, creating a positive impact on the units training cycle: at least 90 hours per Marine can now be used for alternate training. LEAD is important to the junior officers involved as well. It is great working with the junior marines at this early stage, Marines who may one day be my crew chiefs, in charge of keeping our aircraft in the sky, said 2nd Lt. Vigil.Marine course teaches to L.E.A.D. from the front By Curtis Prentice and 2nd Lt.

Discounts for military in Pensacola By Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterWhether youre looking for someone to fix an old grandfathers clock or just want a cup of coffee, businesses in the Pensacola area often extend discount to service members. The purpose of this column is to provide Gosport readers with a sampling of the kinds of discounts offered, in many cases by former service members who now have businesses in the area. Take Joshua S. Sparrow of Pensacola, who has been a clockmaker and antiques appraiser for more than 55 years. He learned to be a clockmaker while serving with the U.S. Coast Guard at Wake Island in the Pacific during the Korean War. After the service, he became a lawyer and practiced for years. But he has chosen to spend his retired years working with clocks and antiques. He is offering a 25 percent discount to all retired or active military. Mr. Sparrow can be reached at docclock@bellsouth.net or by phone at 494-0770. Retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Mark Robertson owns Lost Key Java , a fullservice coffee shop and deli on Perdido Key at the shops of Villagio. For military he is offering a 10 percent discount on all coffee and expresso drinks. He also offers a flat $3.95 breakfast and $4.95 lunch. He can be reached at 497-9501. Retired Navy Senior Chief Thomas E. Dutton, who is an assistant store manager at Home Place Furniture on Davis Highway in Pensacola, says Homeplace offers an 810 percent discount to all active duty, retiree and dependants at all stores, including Hanks Furniture Stores, in Arkansas, Missouri and Texas. He can be reached at 478-4966 or through e-mail at pen@homeplacefurn. com. As space permits, we will run more military discounts. Businesses can submit their discounts to Anne Thrower at anne. thrower.ctr@Navy.mil.Antique show at O’Club Oct. 30-31By Anne Thrower Gosport Staff writerPeople interested in antiques should find plenty to see at an antique show at the Mustin Beach Officers Club Oct. 3031 onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola. Organized by the Officers Spouses Organization (OSO) at NASP, the show is open to the public. The event will feature dealers from the local antique malls who will show off what they have to offer, including furniture, glass and jewelry. There is no charge to attend. It gives people an opportunity to see a variety of antiques in one place, said Karin Feagles, who is in charge of organizing the event. The people who will be selling will have knowledge, so you can ask questions about a piece, said I think its more threatening to walk into an antique mall, Feagles said. Here it will all be spread out nicely and the people will know what they are selling. The show will be set up in the ballroom of the OClub from 3-8 p.m. on Oct. 30 and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Oct. 31. The club will offer special drink prices on Oct. 30, and on Saturday the grill will be open for lunch. Feagles said there will be a lot of different eras represented, with most of the items from the 1900s or younger, including Depression glass, carnival glass and retro items. So far 10 dealers have signed up, including Oooodles, an antique mall in Pensacola, but there is still room for a few more. Spaces can be rented for $75 for two days. Those interested in participating can call Feagles at 292-8063. Rocky HorrorFrom Auriette Lindsey Pensacola Little TheatreThe Rocky Horror Show is back at Pensacola Little Theatre. After last Halloweens successful run, the stage musical that inspired the cult film is returning to PLT. Performances are Oct. 22-24 and 29-31 at 7:30 p.m. Prices are $15-$25, with a $2 discount available to senior citizens 60 or older, full-time students or active-duty military with I.D. Tickets are on sale now at the theaters box office or by phone at 432-2042. Many of the same cast members are back. Fans will find all the fun songs and campy scenes, along with the energy and excitement of live theatre. Audience members are encouraged to dress in costume and sing along, but leave props at home. A packet of props appropriate for use in the theater will be available at the door for $5 each. The production contains mature subject matter sexual situations; anyone under 17 must be accompanied by an adult. For information, visit pensacolalittletheatre.com or call 850.434.0257.
