NAS Pensacola Air Force personnel join Air Force special tactics marchers as they trek through downtown Pensacola on an 11-day, 824-mile memorial march for
comrades killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Gosport Associate Editor
More than 160 NAS Pensacola Air
Force personnel turned out in the middle of
the night for a show of solidarity with a
group of Airmen from Lackland AFB in
Texas, as they marched through Pensacola
on an 824-mile memorial march to
Hurlburt Field Oct. 15-16.
The memorial ruck sack march began
Oct. 6 to honor 12 fallen special tactics
teammates killed in action in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Six two-man teams of special
tactics Airmen relayed through five states,
marching 24 hours a day and carrying 50-
pound packs.
'They're feeling a lot of hurt feet right
now, because it's been a lot of long, tough
miles for them," said Senior Airman
Jonathon Donnelly, the support vehicle
driver, as he waited for the team to reach a
turn onto Palafox Street around 1:15 a.m.
"But everyone knows we're doing it for a
good cause. All the guys that we are doing
this memorial (march) for, someone here
has been friends with one of them."
In addition to the packs they carried was
a symbolic item that represented the cost of
freedom. "Each man is carrying a baton
engraved with the name of one of our fall-
en brothers," Donnelly said. "We're all
proud to do this for our co-workers and
friends."
The marchers' spirits were high,
Donnelly said. "Each team walked 10 to 15
miles a day with 50 pounds on their back
There's been a lot of sore feet; a couple of
bumps and bruises ... Normal wear and
tear on the body for the long trip. They've
gone through a lot of Motrin and a lot of
foot powder."

The Oct. 15 roll-out day for the Navy
Working Uniform (NWU) at Naval Air
Station Pensacola proved to be uneventful for
the most part with few problems and no long
lines.
"It's going great," saidAmy TerHorst, event
coordinator at the Navy Exchange at Aviation
Plaza. Many Sailors had arranged to get fitted
at clinics held on base in September or they
arrived having already been fitted.
The uniforms started to be issued at boot
camp at Naval Station Great Lakes in April.
So the uniforms had already started popping
up at NASP.
For those looking to buy their new blue
camouflage uniform Oct. 15, the first question
they were asked is whether they had already
been measured.
"We're very adamant here about having
them try them on," said Voncille Matthews,
whose job it is to examine each Sailor, making
sure the uniform is not too tight and doesn't

The Naval Education and

recently held a workshop for
enterprise human relations (HR)
personnel in order to improve their
knowledge of policies and benefits
for hiring targeted disabled veter-

Held at the Naval Air Station

experts on the process of finding
the rightjob for the right Wounded
Warrior at the right time.

who have disabilities that affect
their quality of life -but the com-
mand has a long way to go to

"We've asked every command
in the NETC enterprise to earmark
at least one position for a

Lawson, NETC director of per-
sonnel programs. "There are vari-

If it doesn't fit and it has already been
altered like having a name sewn on they
won't be able to exchange the uniform for a
new one.
In many cases Sailors who order their uni-
forms without trying them on find they don't
fit. That's because the cut is different than the
former working uniform.
There was a steady stream Oct. 15 of
Sailors trying on and in some cases
exchanging the new uniform. But no lines.
"It's not cut like anything else," said AC2
Kenneth Sims, who was in the process of get-
ting insignias sewn on when he realize he may
have the wrong size. He originally had extra
large, but what he really needed was a large.
He was lucky.

Lonestar singer 'coming home'

The Naval Air Station
Whiting Field team and their
guests are anxiously awaiting
Saturday's Lonestar concert.
While such a large-scale event
generates a deserved amount of
excitement and more than a few
tense nerves, it is interesting to
note that the emotions are simi-
lar on the other side of the stage.
Cody Collins, the lead singer
for Lonestar is looking forward
to coming home and performing
for the hometown crowd, but he
admits to a little trepidation as
well.

From EscaRosa CFC
Naval Operational Medicine
Institute's (NOMI) 4th Annual CFC-
5K Run took place Oct. 16 at NAS
Pensacola along the scenic waterfront
view of Pensacola Bay. Arecord atten-
dance of 550 runners took their mark
as NOMI Commanding Officer, Capt.
Lee L. Comforth, MSC, made wel-
coming remarks and announced the
start of the race.
Both military and civilian federal
employees along with a few family
members ran for a variety ofnon-prof-
its who are listed in this year's
approved charity list. In all, the event
raised more than $5,650, which will be
added to the overall campaigns total.
"NOMI and their staff has been a
strong supporter of the CFC program
over the years and the personal com-
mitment they bring each year into the
planning and execution of the CFC 5K
Run is truly the reason for its success,"
said Ron Denson, director of the
EscaRosa CFC program.

ing their time or they weren't 100
percent sure," she said. "That's
why they end up bringing them

In some cases, the tops, for
example, didn't come far enough
down, she said. "In an inspection
they would be definitely be called
on it," she said. The tops have to
fall at the top of the large back
tions and independently.
As the local campaign passed the
75 percent mark with the contribution
of the 5K run added in, Denson stat-
ed the he was confident that the over-
all campaign is going to be very suc-
cessful this year. "I would like to
remind all that with the holidays com-
ing and the needs for the less fortu-
nate, your support and contribution
really does make a difference and
does reach the non-profits that you,
the donor decide.
"If you have not been asked about
supporting an agency of your choice

Det 2 66th TRS marched with the memorial marchers.
TraWing 6's Master Sgt. Patrick Long didn't mind
the early hours or brisk pace. "It's awesome to walk with
warriors who are honoring fallen warriors," Long said.
"The energy they create is tangible. It's two in the morn-
ing and I am wide awake and fired up; highly unusual
for me at this hour. They are not just moseying along
from Texas; their pace is just under ajog."
The memorial march concluded on schedule Oct. 16

Matthews reminds Sailors that
their new caps will shrink a little

Collins performed at some of the local fairs and small
venues, but this will only be the second time the band will
have performed since he took over as the lead singer
roughly two years ago. They sang at the Buelah Sausage
Festival in April 2008, but singing at a military base near
where he grew up holds a special thrill.
Lonestar has a reputation for supporting the military,
but Whiting Field is familiar to Collins as a place where
he attended some school dances while attending Pace
Middle School and Pace High School. His father is a
Navy veteran and his sister is currently in the Air Force
and Collins said he grew up with a healthy respect for
military personnel, and it is a trait that his band mates
share.

of soldiers and their families. We always have a true

Maintained by the United States Coast
Guard since 1939, the Pensacola
Lighthouse, aboard NAS Pensacola, original-
ly 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 Gosport was 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 invent-
ed.

The band, Dean Sams, Michael Britt and Keech
Rainwater, had great success with singer Richie McDonald
since forming 15 years ago. The band has achieved 10
number one songs, sold more than 10 million albums, and
been nominated for American County Music's Band of the
Year eight times. With Collins in tow now, the band is
preparing to release their first new album called "The
Future is Now" this spring. Collins said the band just fin-
ished the studio work and expects the first new single to
come out in January. He is excited about the project and
said the music "rocks with a really good edge."
The band is expected to play many of their classics like
"Front Porch Looking In," "Amazed," and "Already
There" but Collins stated the band will mix in a few newer
songs as well.
Playing in front of a military audience is something
special to Collins. He said that many of their songs speak
to the service members and their families due to the hard-
ships of separation they endure.

Homefront in Focus: ID cards, decals and POAs
By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor
The journey from shore
duty to deployment readi-
ness is marked with mile-
stones along the way -
selected for orders, orders
in hand, PCS to name a
few. Recently I took anoth-
er step...
My wonderful Sailor
calls to say, "I'm making
our appointment at Pass &
ID. Is 3:20 tomorrow good
for you?" Ugh.
Re-enlistment means so
many things new
orders, possible PCS, tran-
sition to or from sea duty
... and of course that
dreaded, unflattering new
dependent ID card.
I know you know what I
am talking about.
No matter what I do to
my hair, my makeup, my
clothing selections that
photo will be the most
unflattering shot I've taken
in a decade.
And I am stuck with it
for three years.
A note about your ID
cards. You will need to
present two forms of ID for
your card.
If unaccompanied by
your service member (who
should have the proper
paperwork with him or
her) you will also need
DD1172 (service member
must complete this form
and fax it to Pass & ID)
and power of attorney.
While we are on the
topic of IDs lets talk about
identity theft.
About six months ago
an important change was
made in dependent ID
Beth Wilson
cards. Our Social Security
number is now omitted
from the card giving us a
measure of security that
was missing before.
However, our service
member's SSN is still
printed on the card.
Learning to protect our
identity is important.
Please take time to check
out these resources for
important information and
steps to protect our identi-
ty from theft and fraud.
The Federal Trade
Co m m i s s i o n
(www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/m ic
rosites/idtheft) and
Identity Theft Awareness
(www. identity-theft-
awareness.com) both pro-
vide articles, information
and best practices to help
us protect our identity and
recover from identity theft.
Military One Source
(www. militaryonesource. c
om) provides free identity
theft packets with valuable
information.
So armed with my new
ID it is off to obtain new
decals for our vehicles.
Before that there are a
few things to know. If your
name is on the vehicle reg-
istration you are good to
go.
If not you will need a
power of attorney or other
notarized document that
authorizes you to obtain
decals on behalf of your
service member.
You will also need the
current vehicle registration
and current proof of insur-
ance. Finally, check with
your local Pass & ID office
for any local requirements
(such as smog test certifi-
cation in California).
We mentioned a power
of attorney or POA. A
POA is a standard docu-
ment all spouses should
have at all times, but espe-
cially during deployment.
A POA is a legal docu-
ment that grants you
authority or access to make
decisions or authorize
transactions on behalf of
your absent service mem-
ber.
There are limitations
and restrictions as well so
it is important to talk to
your base legal office to
get the right information
and to develop the right
POA for you.
To learn more about
POAs and other services
available to you at the
Navy Legal Services office

Dependent IDs, decals
(and POAs) are basic to
our ability to access the
many resources and sup-
port available to us on
base. Take a moment today
to check the expiration
date of your ID and decals.
Navy Legal: Using trusts for minor, disabled children or for privacy
By Jeffrey Gott
Legal Assistance Attorney
Previously you heard that living
trusts are complex instruments that
require a lot of work to create and main-
tain if one wishes to achieve avoiding
probate, which is often the most com-
mon goal.
This article is intended to identify
some instances where trusts make a bit
more sense.
These reasons include placing a
child's inheritance under the control of a
responsible adult until the child reaches
an age older than 18; benefiting a dis-
abled child without jeopardizing their
entitlement to public benefits; transfer-
ring real estate located in different
states; and achieving privacy with
regard to the final disposition of one's
assets.
When minor children receive proper-
ty in their own name, such as money
from a life insurance policy, that money
does not go directly to the children to do
with as they please but instead is placed
with their guardian.
Subsequently, a guardian's control
will end sometime when the minor child
reaches an age between 18 and 21. The
exact age depends on state law.
A trust can take the place of this
arrangement such that a child must wait
until an age of your choosing before
they receive their money. Many times
this is age 25 or some other arrangement
whereby the child will receive one-third
at age 25, one-third at age 30 and the
remaining balance at age 35.
Also, if the likely guardian of your
minor child is an individual you are not
comfortable with controlling your
child's inheritance, for example, an ex-
spouse, placing the assets in trust allows
you to name a trustee of your choosing.
Another instance when a trust is rec-
ommended is to provide for disabled
adult children who receive
fits.
public bene-
Generally, public benefits such as
Medicaid and Social Security Disability
are subject to a means test, for example
applicants only receive the benefit if
they receive minimal income and own
little or no assets.
In such cases if disabled children on
Medicaid get an inheritance they are
then disqualified from receiving the
public benefit.
Disabled children would have to use
the inheritance to pay for expenses pre-
viously covered by the public benefit
until they then re-qualified, presumably
when the inheritance was exhausted.
This can be avoided with a special
needs trust which puts the inheritance
with a trustee who is only to spend the
money to supplement the public benefits
and not take its place.
A trust is also advisable where one
owns real property in different states. In
most states the law maintains that real
estate whose owner is deceased must go
through probate.
Thus, someone living in Florida who
also owns property in Alabama could be
faced with two probates, one in each
state. If, however, the Alabama real
estate was placed in a trust then a sec-
ond probate could be avoided.
Lastly, administering a trust tends to
be a more private operation than open-
ing a probate at the local courthouse.
Court cases are, for the most part,
public records. Therefore, if privacy is a
paramount concern a trust can be useful.
Creating a stand-alone trust is gener-
ally beyond the scope of a military legal
assistance office.
Our attorneys are normally limited to
putting simple trusts in a last will and
testament. Discussing these issues with
a legal assistance attorney is always a
good place to start. At Naval Air Station
Pensacola, a legal assistance attorney
can be reached at 452-3734.

A detachment from Electronic
Attack Squadron VAQ-140, fly-
ing the Navy's premier tactical
electronic warfare aircraft, the
EA-6B Prowler, spent a week
onboard NAS Pensacola recently
for advanced interservice training
operations.
"We're out here to get some
training done," Lt. Chris Pratt,
aviation and armament division
officer, said. "Our EA-6B's are
ICAP-3 equipped (improved
capability modification program);
the Marines that you see down
here are going to be getting the
ICAP-3 variant and they're out
here flying with us today. We did A flight of VAQ-140 Pensacola Det's EA-6B I

VAQ-140 was also doing
"workups" for their upcoming
overseas deployment. While not
engaged in ops, squadron per-
sonnel took time to visit the
National Naval Aviation
Museum and visit Pensacola.
"It's been a really great experi-
ence; everyone here's been more
than accomodating," Pratt said.

Fourth in a series of fire prevention articles during October National Fire Prevention Month
Dormitories: are they fire safe?
From Inspector Donald Harris
Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast
Dormitories today are as fire safe as man can
make them, they are fitted with installed sprin-
kler systems, hood suppression systems and
smoke detectors; the exits are clearly marked and well-lit.
With all these safety precautions in
place, if we ignore general safety and
common sense requirements we can still
find ourselves in danger of loss of life or
severe injury; let's call this the "people
factor."
One of the leading causes of fires in
dormitories or combined bachelor's quar-
ters (CBQs) is unattended cooking.
People get distracted or are tired, forget-
ting what they have started with the results
possibly being a fire. Smoking, candle use
or other open-flame devices are prohibit-
ed for use in the dormitories and CBQs on
our installations. If personnel ignore the
rules, devastating results can happen.
We remind personnel not to ignore
smoke detectors or fire alarms sounding,
personnel that delay in their evacuation
can find themselves in smoke which can
lead to being disoriented or overcome
resulting in serious injury or loss of life.
The practice of fire safety is everyone's
responsibility, especially the students.
Every fire safety rule needs to be followed
and when these rules are disregarded the
probability of fire increases. Fires do not
start on their own, people start fires, the
Smoking, candle use and other open-
flame devices are prohibited in base dor-
mitories and CBQs for good reason.
"people factor."
Listed below are some safety precau-
tions for personnel living in the dormito-
ries or CBQs to observe:
Review the posted building evacua-
tion plan and know two ways out.
Know 452-3333 as the local emer-
gency reporting number.
Ensure they don't tamper with the
installed smoke detectors.
Ensure they don't hang any items
from the sprinkler heads.
Inspect their room for fire hazards,
such as electrical cords/outlets and clutter.
Check exit doors and windows;
ensure they will open properly.
Know their building, floor and room
numbers.
Respond to fire alarms at all times and
utilize the nearest and safest exit.
Insure students know how to properly
use heating equipment and base-provided
cooking appliances. Unplug all heat pro-
ducing devices when not in use.
Know the location of fire alarm pull
stations and fire extinguishers and be
familiar with their use.
Fire safety and prevention is really
using your common sense. Public fire
safety awareness is a key to preventing
fires and we all must promote fire safety
and prevention with all personnel.
Instructors and supervisors must be proac-
tive in support of fire safety. Be fire safe
and let's overcome the "people factor."
Navy sets
ambitious
energy goals
From NAVFAC Southeast
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus recently outlined five
ambitious goals for decreasing reliance on petroleum
and curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
"Energy reform is a strategic initiative and the stakes
are very high," Mabus told Navy and Marine Corps offi-
cials and defense contractors attending the Naval Energy
Forum in Northern Virginia. "We simply rely too much
on a declining stock of fossil fuels that most likely will
continue to rise in cost over the next decade."
In an effort to shift that reliance on fossil fuel, Mabus
said he will direct the Navy and Marine Corps to begin
weighing the life-cycle energy costs associated with all
acquisitions when making contract awards.
"The lifetime energy costs of building a system and
the fully burdened cost of fuel of empowering those
(weapons systems) will be a mandatory evaluation factor
used in awarding contracts," Mabus said. "We're going
to hold industry contractually accountable for meeting
energy targets and system efficiency requirements."
The department also will consider contractors' overall
energy efficiency as a factor in making acquisition deci-
sions. "We want industry to take steps to not just provide
us with energy-efficient products, but to produce those
products in energy efficient ways," he said.
In addition to adjusting its approach to acquisition, the
Navy by 2012 will establish a "green strike group" of
fuel-efficient ships, with some running on biofuels. By
2016, that strike group will deploy as a "green fleet com-
posed of nuclear-powered ships, surface combatants
equipped with hybrid-electric alternative power systems
running biofuel and aircraft flying only biofuels," he said.
Other goals outlined by the secretary include:
By 2015, the Navy will cut in half the petroleum
consumption of its 50,000-vehicle fleet. As vehicles
go out of service, they will be replaced with flex-
fuel, hybrid and electric vehicles. "Moving to biofu-
els and electric vehicles will benefit the local com-
munities where bases are located and will spur the
adoption of similar vehicles (locally)," Mabus said.
By 2020, the Navy will produce at least half of
its shore-based energy from alternative sources, with
the goal of returning power to the electric grid wher-
ever possible.
By 2020, the Navy will ensure that 50 percent of
the total energy consumed by ships, aircraft, vehicles
and shore facilities is supplied through alternative
and renewable sources. Today that figure is 17 per-
cent.
None of the goals will require legislative action,
Mabus said. He cited advances in biofuels and recent
improvements in engine efficiency for both ships and
aircraft as evidence they are reachable.
"No one has ever gotten anything big done by
being timid," he said.

Naval photographers return to Pensacola next week for reunion
By Art Giberson
Special to Gosport
Navy and Marine Corps photographers
from across the nation will come home to
Pensacola Oct. 26-29 for the annual
National Association of Naval
Photography Reunion.
The reunion will be held at the
Hampton Inn, 2 Via de Luna Drive,
Pensacola Beach.
Naval photography, like naval aviation,
had been a part of the Pensacola landscape
since 1914 when Lt. Cmdr. Henry C.
Mustin steamed into Pensacola Bay
aboard the battleship USS Mississippi
with orders to establish the Navy's first
aeronautic station and flying school.
Among the ship's crew was ship's
cook and amateur photographer Walter
Leroy Richardson.
Dropping anchor a few hundred yards
off shore from what is now the Pensacola
Naval Air Station, Mustin and a handful
of crew members scanned the debris-lit-
tered shoreline while Richardson snapped
pictures.
Over the next few weeks, while Sailors
from the Mississippi labored to turn the
abandoned Navy shipyard into some
resemblance of a naval station,
Richardson labored equally hard to keep
them fed and during his off-duty hours
documented their flying activities.
His photographs, particularly those of
accidents, quickly caught Mustin's atten-
tion and Richardson was permanently
assigned to the aeronautic station as an
official photographer.
Four years later Richardson was given
a commission and dispatched to Miami to
establish the Navy's first photo school.
In 1921 photography became an offi-
cial naval occupational specialty. In 1923
the Naval School of Photography came
home to Pensacola.
For the next three quarters of a century
Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen
entering the naval specialty of photogra-
phy received their basic and advanced
training in Pensacola.
In 1995 the Naval School of
Photography became a Department of
Defense Photographic School.
By 1998 it had become clear that train-
ing facilities at NAS Pensacola were inad-
equate to meet department of defense
requirements, thus forcing a move to a
new DoD mass communications training
facility at Fort Meade, Md.
Reunion information is available from
Robert Devore at 455-3907 or through e-
mail at 09-pcola-ru@cox.net.
Giberson can be reached at 455-5931
or through e-mail at
cox.net.
art.giberson@
The Naval School of Photography moved into Bldg. 1500 aboard the NAS
Pensacola Naval Air Station in 1950 and eventually became known throughout the
naval service as "The mecca of naval photography." The building still exists near
Fort Barrancas. It is slated to become the NAS command headquarters in 2011.

Wounded Warriors from page 1
employee with a significant
knowledge base and extensive
experience."
Retired Master Chief James
Wilson, a single amputee, recent-
ly completed the Ironman
Triathlon in Orlando, and is the
newest civil service employee at
the Center for Naval Aviation
Technical Training in Pensacola.
He shared his experiences as a
Wounded Warrior with the con-
ference, and stressed the advan-
tages of hiring returning injured
veterans.
"We are the same dedicated
professionals that we were on the
battlefield," said Wilson. "We
bring to the civilian workforce
that same instinctive dedication
we had for the military services.
All we want is a chance to serve
again."
Telicia Stanton was the first
Wounded Warrior hired at
NETC, and works for the Naval
Service Training Command in
Pensacola.
Stanton is an Army veteran of
Operation Iraqi Freedom, where
she worked as a truck driver and
mechanic.
She completed her bachelor's
degree in human relations at
Falkner University through the
VA's Vocational Rehabilitation
Program and was hired after she
finished school.
"I really appreciate that there's
someone out there looking out
for Wounded Warriors," said
Stanton. 'Through the program I
was able to complete my degree
and now am in a position to help
others through my job as a HR
technician working with Naval
ROTC midshipmen."
The Department of Veteran's
Affairs was represented at the
conference by George Dunlap,
VA employment coordinator.
He explained that the VA
offers several vocational rehabil-
itation and employment pro-
grams including the Coming
Home to Work Initiative and the
Non-Paid Work Experience
Program.
These initiatives provide eligi-
ble veterans with the opportunity
to obtain training and practical
job experience in a federal, state,
or local government agency.
"We work closely with NETC
and other Department of
Defense agencies to place
Wounded Warriors where it can
benefit both the veteran and the
agency," said Dunlap. "NETC's
asking each of their commands
to ensure a place for Wounded
Warriors is an example we hope
other agencies will follow."
Michele Salzman, an Army
veteran of the Bosnia campaign
was recently hired under the
Wounded Warrior initiative at
NETC and works at the com-
mand headquarters in Pensacola
as an administrative assistant.
"I was extremely impressed
how hard everyone worked to be
accommodating," said Salzman.
"My boss and co-workers have
treated me with utmost respect
and made sure I had everything I
needed to do my job.
The transition from Wounded
Warrior to civil servant was a
long one, but all the hard work
has paid off."
Lt. Cmdr. Don Frandsen,
NETC administrative officer,
says hiring a Wounded Warrior
was a perfect fit for his depart-
ment.
"Michelle has been focused
and task-oriented from the start,"
said Frandsen. "The experience,
dedication and drive she shows
every day is inspiring to every-
one in the office. She even takes
the Army jokes in stride."
Chief Hospital Corpsman
Felix Perez is the senior program
manager for the NAS Pensacola
Wounded Warrior Program, and
has helped more than 100 service
members transition back to duty
status or into the civilian world.
"I like to say that the
Wounded Warrior Program is
not a hand me down, but instead
a hand me up," said Perez. "It's
a proven win/win concept where
we enable a proven, dependable
workforce that is familiar with
military traditions, customs and
lingo, to continue serving their
country by becoming civil serv-
ice employees."

Now easier for some spouses to be hired by federal government
By George Markfelder
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy
WASHINGTON (NNS)- It is now easier for certain
spouses of active-duty Sailors and Marines to be hired by
the federal government.
New Department of Defense hiring authorities took
effect this fall, and the Office of Personal Management
(OPM) issued final regulatory guidelines in the Federal
Register under the title, "Noncompetitive Appointment of
Certain Military Spouses."
"This is a super opportunity for certain spouses of
active-duty military members to serve their country direct-
ly, and to begin a great career with worldwide assignment
opportunities," said Shirley Scott, director of Human
WE SERVICE ALL MAKES AND MODELS
AnaotwAioa Shop You Can l unt
S5-4 5-7374
11225 Lon Hwy. Pensco R 32506
Resources Policy and Program Department at the DoN
Office of Civilian Human Resources. "Federal jobs come
with large benefits, such as tuition reimbursement, leave
and holidays, and dependent care to name just a few."
Scott explained that the eligibility for this noncompeti-
tive hiring authority falls into four major categories: (1) a
spouse of an U.S. armed forces service member serving on
active duty (not for training) for more than 180 days, pro-
vided the spouse relocates to the member's new permanent
duty station; (2) a spouse of a military service member
who is retired from active duty with a documented service-
connected disability rating of 100 percent; (3) a spouse of
a military service member who retired, was released or dis-
charged from active duty and has a disability rating of 100
percent as documented by the Department of Veterans
Affairs; or (4) a spouse of a military service member killed
while on active duty.
In the latter case, the spouse must be the un-married
widow/widower of the deceased service member to meet
eligibility.
"Of course the intent of these regulations is to make it
easier for the federal government to recruit and retain
skilled and experienced employees," said Scott, "but also,
when service members have a permanent change of sta-
tion and the family moves, the spouse is typically forced to
find a new employer at that new location.
Allowing military spouses to at least compete for jobs
that would otherwise only be open to current civilians or
veterans provides us, the employer, with a greater pool of
potential candidates. It is a win-win for us all."

President Obama's
2009 NDEAM
proclamation
Fair access to employ-
ment is a fundamental right
of every American, includ-
ing the 54 million people in
this country living with dis-
abilities. A job can provide
financial stability, help max-
imize our potential, and
allow us to achieve our
dreams. As Americans, we
possess a range of vocation-
al opportunities to make the
most of our talents and suc-
ceed in a chosen career;
those with disabilities are
entitled to the same opportu-
nities. During National
Disability Employment
Awareness Month, we
recommit ourselves to
implementing effective poli-
cies and practices that
increase employment oppor-
tunities for individuals with
disabilities.
My administration is
committed to promoting
positive change for every
American, including those
with disabilities. The federal
government and its contrac-
tors can lead the way by
implementing effective
employment policies and
practices that increase
opportunities and help work-
ers achieve their full poten-
tial.
Recognizing the need for
equal employment opportu-
nities, we must also strength-
en and expand the educa-
tional opportunities for indi-
viduals with disabilities. If
we are to build a world free
from unnecessary barriers,
stereotypes, and discrimina-
tion, we must ensure that
every American receives an
education that prepares him
or her for future success.
Each day, Americans
with disabilities play a criti-
cal role in forging and shap-
ing the identity of our nation.
Their contributions touch us
all through personal experi-
ence or through that of a
family member, neighbor,
friend, or colleague.
Now, therefore, I, Barack
Obama, president of the
United States ofAmerica, by
virtue of the authority vested
in me by the Constitution
and the laws of the United
States, do hereby proclaim
October 2009, as National
Disability Employment
Awareness Month. I call on
all Americans to celebrate
the contributions of individ-
uals with disabilities to our
workplaces and communi-
ties and to promote the
employment of individuals
with disabilities to create a
better, more inclusive
America, one in which every
person is rightly recognized
for his or her abilities and
accomplishments.

'Expectation + opportunity = full participation'
National Disability
Employment Awareness Month
From U.S. Department of Labor
Office of Public Affairs
O ctober is
National
Disability
Employment Awareness
Month (NDEAM), and
October marks the 62nd
year that our country cele-
brates
employment
opportunities for people
with disabilities.
The U.S. Department of Labor recently
announced "Expectation + Opportunity Full
Participation" as the official theme for
October's National Disability Employment
Awareness Month. It is intended to urge
employers, as they seek to fill positions, to
embrace the richness of America's diversity by
considering the talents of all workers, including
workers with disabilities.
"People with disabilities must be woven into
our work culture," said Assistant Secretary of
Labor for Disability Employment Kathy
Martinez. "Already, we benefit from the
incredible array of talent they bring to our
workplaces. But we must raise the bar, we
must create the inexorable expectation that
people with disabilities will contribute in every
way to our economic successes.
"Only by nurturing this expectation and pro-
viding people with disabilities with unlimited
employment opportunities, can we all benefit
from their talents."
This year's theme emphasizes the vision of
the Labor Department's Office of Disability
Employment Policy (ODEP): a world in which
people with disabilities have unlimited
employment opportunities. Early selection of
an annual theme for upcoming National
Disability Employment Awareness Month
helps the private sector; federal, state and local

last year.
governments; and advocacy organizations plan
events and programs that showcase the abilities
and skills of job seekers and working
Americans who have disabilities.
ODEP is the nation's first assistant secre-
tary-led office that addresses policies that
impact upon the employment of people with
disabilities. The office provides national lead-
ership on disability employment policy by
developing and influencing the use of evi-
dence-based disability employment policies
and practices, building collaborative partner-
ships, and delivering authoritative and credible
data on the employment of people with disabil-
ities.
As background for National Disability
Employment Awareness Month, Public Law
176, enacted by Congress in 1945, designated
the first week in October as "National Employ
the Physically Handicapped Week." President
Harry S. Truman designated the (now former)
President's Committee on Employment of
People with Disabilities to carry out the law.
Congress changed the name to "National
Disability Employment Awareness Month" in
1988. The responsibility for leading the nation-
wide recognition was transferred to the newly
created ODEP in 2001.
Drawing inspiration from disability
(NAPS) Increasingly, indi-
viduals with a physical disability
are redefining what it means to be
disabled.
According to the American
Disability Act (ADA), about 43
million Americans are living with
at least one disability, and most
Americans will experience a dis-
ability at some time during the
course of their lives. For some,
that experience can be such that it
changes the direction of their life
forever.
Take for example, Californian
artist Dennis Francesconi, who,
as a result of a skiing accident at
age 17, broke his neck and
became a wheelchair-bound
quadriplegic.
Eventually, he began to draw
by gripping a pencil between his
teeth. In time, and with the sup-
port of his wife, Kristi, his skills
as an artist blossomed. Later, he
was introduced to the U.S.
Mouth and Foot Painting Artists
(MFPA), a for-profit organization
run by disabled artists seeking
financial independence, formed
nearly 50 years ago.
Said Francesconi, "One of the
proudest moments of my life was
when I was promoted by the
MFPA to be a full member artist
and I was able to tell the Social
Security officer that I didn't need
the monthly benefits check any
more."
Each year in October, artists
such as Francesconi and those
from other walks of life draw
attention to the valuable contribu-
tion that the physically disabled
bring to society during National
Disability Awareness Month. To

medical skills while providing medical
care to more than 1,500 forward
Lt. Paul Jimenez Lt. j.g. Jessia Cousins
Lt. Paul Jimenez Lt. j.g. Jessica Cousins
deployed personnel enabling optimum
return to duty.
The Internal Medicine specialist's
"enthusiastic teaching of corps staff
directly contributed to improving the
overall medical readiness of the EMF-
K command," wrote Capt. E.C.
Wagner, commanding officer.
Ltj.g. Cousins served her deploy-
ment at the Kuwait-based command as
departmental safety officer. She con-
ducted a thorough review of the inpa-
tient safety program leading to a com-
plete reorganization of hazardous mate-
rials and material safety data sheet
binders.
The Nurse Corps officer also con-
ducted multiple in-services on both
patient and staff safety resulting in zero
mishaps on the inpatient ward.
HM3 Matthews served as a staff duty
corpsman with the Warrior Return Unit
of EMF-Kuwait. She dedicated more
than 130 hours as patient escort for
host-nation medical appointments that
enhanced expeditious patient treatment
of more than 900 coalition forces.
Her efforts resulted in an overall
increase of return-to-duty rate from
81 to 87 percent in a six-month period
earning the unit a 98 percent overall
customer satisfaction rate.
HM3 Joseph Almeida served as a
general duty corpsman with EMF-K's
Medical Regulating Office. He demon-
strated "unprecedented professional-
ism" in the execution of 410 medical
evacuation (medevac) missions result-
ing in the safe movement of 540
patients to the next level of medical
care, wrote Capt. Wagner.
The corpsman's forethought and
attention to detail was "flawless" during
briefings to the US Army's Central
Command Chief of Operations result-
ing in the expeditious approval of all
cross-border missions.

NATTC Sailors support
area Special Olympics
'Fall Classic'
Story, photo
by AT1 Joshua Stuart
NATTC Public Affairs
Every year, Special Olympics Florida
organizes multiple athletic events span-
ning the entire year. More than 1,000
athletes compete in the November state
"Fall Classic" event. However, before
athletes can compete in this state level
event, they must first qualify at region-
al and area level events.
This year the area Fall Classic event
for Northwest Florida was held on Sept.
26 at Liberty Lanes of Pensacola. More
than 200 Special Olympic athletes from
Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and
Walton counties were in attendance.
Seventy-four volunteers from Naval Air
Technical Training Center (NATTC)
joined other volunteer organizations to
help make this Fall Classics event one
to remember.
The event began with checking in
contestants by lane assignments and
shifts. The opening ceremony began
with the Special Olympics oath, "Let
me win, but if I cannot win, let me be
brave in the attempt."
"The enthusiasm of the athletes is
contagious," commented one Navy par-
ticipant. "It's nice to be part of this great
event in our community. The intangible
feelings that I'll take away from this
experience will last a lifetime."
The first shift of bowlers was then
allowed a five-minute warm-up period
followed by a full three games. More
than 50 area and NATTC volunteers
assisted with the 32 lanes to ensure
games were orderly and to provide
encouragement for contestants. After
the first shift was finished with their
three games, a free lunch of sloppyjoes,
chips, and refreshments was provided.
After lunch, each second shift bowler
was assigned a lane and began bowling
their three games.
In addition to the day's bowling com-
petition, an "Olympic Village" enter-
tained off-shift contestants while they
were waiting their turn to bowl. In the
"Liberty Village," 15 NATTC staff vol-
unteers coordinated arts and craft activ-
ities and ran carnival type games for
attendees.
After both bowling shifts had com-
pleted their allotted three games, overall
scores were tallied by a team of volun-
teers who averaged all game scores.
First through fourth place ribbons were
then distributed to individual bowlers.
Teams were also awarded ribbons based
on their average team scores.
All winning athletes from this year's
area fall classics will soon compete at
the November state-level event in
Orlando.

Navy raises awareness of domestic violence
From Navy Installations Command Public
Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) During
October, Domestic Violence Awareness
Month, the Navy is working to raise
awareness of options for reporting domes-
tic violence, as well as means to prevent it.
People in healthy relationships feel sup-
ported and safe. In unhealthy relation-
ships, partners often feel unsafe, fearful,
confused and helpless.
If you recognize that your partner has
already crossed the line and you have you
have been physically or emotionally
abused, there is help. The help comes by
first reporting the abuse.
There are two types of reporting
options, restricted and unrestricted.
Restricted reports do not involve military
chain of command or law enforcement.
Unrestricted reports will include some
type of investigation by command and or
law enforcement. Both options make
available to victims the full range of advo-
cacy, medical and counseling services.
"Many people are unaware that the
restricted reporting option even exists,"
said Kathy Turner, of the Fleet and Family
Support Program's Counseling Advocacy
and Prevention Program.
Restricted reporting has been available
since 2006. It gives victims time and
opportunity to get information and profes-
sional advice about their rights and avail-
able services so they can make informed
decisions.
Often victims initially choose the
restricted reporting option and later decide
that they want the chain of command noti-
fied so that the offender can be held
accountable.
The victim can elect to change a
restricted report to an unrestricted report.
But an unrestricted report cannot be later
changed to a restricted report.
Often, victims of abuse are isolated and
only hear information from their abusive
partners. They may not know their support
options and may believe that if they ask
for help it will end the military career.
It's especially important for victims to
know about the restricted reporting
option," Turner said. "This option allows
people to control how much help and serv-
ices they receive. People can call their
local FFSC anonymously to learn more
about restricted reporting."
The option to make a restricted report is
available to active-duty service members
and their spouses. Intimate partners of
active-duty service members who realize
that they are being abused are also urged
to contact the Fleet and Family Support
Center to learn more about restricted
reporting.
Many victims of abuse might feel com-
fortable talking with their health-care
provider but fear that the chain of com-
mand and/or law enforcement would be
notified.
"Under the restricted reporting option,
adult victims may speak to a health-care
professional at a military medical facility,"
said Turner. "But it is important that they
be direct and ask up front about restricted
reporting."
The health-care provider will provide
needed medical care and get them in touch
with a victim advocate at the Fleet and
Family Support Center. Restricted reports
can also be made directly to the victim
advocates or their clinical supervisors at
the Fleet and Family Support Center.
Domestic violence cuts across all age
groups and social classes. It happens to
Sailors as well as spouses. It happens to
men as well as women.
Domestic violence also goes beyond
physical abuse. It includes emotional
abuse such as threats, isolation, extreme
jealousy and humiliation. It also includes
sexual abuse.
If you think you may be a victim of
domestic violence, contact the National
Domestic Violence Hotline at 1 (800) 799-
SAFE or visit your installation Fleet and
Family Support Center for information on
available resources. AT NASP that num-
ber is 452-5990.

said IT Roy Daniels, a member of the NASP MWR
committee that's organizing the event.
"We're trying to put it more toward the NATTC
folks and an older crowd," Daniels said. "It's going
to be scary and probably not all that appropriate for
your 4-year-old or 5-year-old."
The hallways on both floors will be used as part
of the haunted house. There will be scary music to
go along with the props.
Although Daniels is keeping some of the details
close to the vest, he did hint there will be lots of
gore. "It's going to be a little intense for younger
viewers," he said.
It's the first time Bldg. 624 has been turned into
a haunted house as part of the fundraiser for the
base command's Christmas party, Daniels said. "It
was something a lot of people could be involved in
here and have some enjoyment," he said, about 25
people will be involved.
Other events on the base include:

Discovery: 'Once a Marine, always a Marine'
From National Naval
Aviation Museum
The Discovery
Saturday series at the
National Naval Aviation
Museum continues at 11
a.m. Oct. 24 with a pres-
entation on being an
officer in the United
States Marine Corps.
As part of its mission
to inspire and educate,
the museum will present
"Once a Marine,
Always a Marine" on
the flight deck of the
USS Cabot.
Retired Marine Corps
Maj. Huntley Johnson
will be on hand to share
his experiences about
joining the Marine
Corps and serving as a
torpedo pilot.
After hearing about
the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, Johnson joined
the U.S. Marine Corps
in 1942, serving five
years of active duty.
He flew several
famous aircraft of the
World War II era,
including the TBF
Avenger and the F4U
Corsair.
Johnson also trained
aboard the USS Sable
and USS Wolverine,
America's first training
aircraft carriers, which
are highlighted in the
History Channel docu-
mentary currently being
shown in the museum's
"Sunken Treasures"
exhibit.
While visiting the
museum, be sure to also
check out the Home
Front USA exhibit
located on the second
deck.

Story, photo By Mike O’Connor Gosport Associate EditorMore than 160 NAS Pensacola Air Force personnel turned out in the middle of the night for a show of solidarity with a group of Airmen from Lackland AFB in Texas, as they marched through Pensacola on an 824-mile memorial march to Hurlburt Field Oct. 15-16. The memorial ruck sack march began Oct. 6 to honor 12 fallen special tactics teammates killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan. Six two-man teams of special tactics Airmen relayed through five states, marching 24 hours a day and carrying 50pound packs. Theyre feeling a lot of hurt feet right now, because its been a lot of long, tough miles for them, said Senior Airman Jonathon Donnelly, the support vehicle driver, as he waited for the team to reach a turn onto Palafox Street around 1:15 a.m. But everyone knows were doing it for a good cause. All the guys that we are doing this memorial (march) for, someone here has been friends with one of them. In addition to the packs they carried was a symbolic item that represented the cost of freedom. Each man is carrying a baton engraved with the name of one of our fallen brothers, Donnelly said. Were all proud to do this for our co-workers and friends. The marchers spirits were high, Donnelly said. Each team walked 10 to 15 miles a day with 50 pounds on their back. Theres been a lot of sore feet; a couple of bumps and bruises Normal wear and tear on the body for the long trip. Theyve gone through a lot of Motrin and a lot of foot powder. Air Force Master Sgt.

By Ed Barker Gosport Staff WriterThe Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) recently held a workshop for enterprise human relations (HR) personnel in order to improve their knowledge of policies and benefits for hiring targeted disabled veterans. Held at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Conference Center, the workshop featured experts on the process of finding the right job for the right Wounded Warrior at the right time. NETC embarked on a Wounded Warrior initiative in July 2008 in an attempt to bring more disabled veterans into the workforce. NETC has hired several targeted disabled veterans those who have disabilities that affect their quality of life but the command has a long way to go to reach an established goal of two percent by 2010. Weve asked every command in the NETC enterprise to earmark at least one position for a Wounded Warrior, said Cheryl Lawson, NETC director of personnel programs. There are various appointing authorities that can be used to hire targeted disabled veterans. These Wounded Warriors offer the Navy a qualitySee Wounded Warriors onpage 6USAF memorial marchers pass through PensacolaNETC encourages enterprise commands to hire Wounded WarriorsNWU roll-out day comes and goes with no problemStory, photo by Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterThe Oct. 15 roll-out day for the Navy Working Uniform (NWU) at Naval Air Station Pensacola proved to be uneventful for the most part with few problems and no long lines. Its going great, said Amy TerHorst, event coordinator at the Navy Exchange at Aviation Plaza. Many Sailors had arranged to get fitted at clinics held on base in September or they arrived having already been fitted. The uniforms started to be issued at boot camp at Naval Station Great Lakes in April. So the uniforms had already started popping up at NASP. For those looking to buy their new blue camouflage uniform Oct. 15, the first question they were asked is whether they had already been measured. Were very adamant here about having them try them on, said Voncille Matthews, whose job it is to examine each Sailor, making sure the uniform is not too tight and doesnt have gaps, a sign the uniform is too small. Getting the right size has been a challenge for some, she said. Part of the process is to have the Sailors stand at attention so she can examine them. If it doesnt fit and it has already been altered like having a name sewn on they wont be able to exchange the uniform for a new one. In many cases Sailors who order their uniforms without trying them on find they dont fit. Thats because the cut is different than the former working uniform. There was a steady stream Oct. 15 of Sailors trying on and in some cases exchanging the new uniform. But no lines. Its not cut like anything else, said AC2 Kenneth Sims, who was in the process of getting insignias sewn on when he realize he may have the wrong size. He originally had extra large, but what he really needed was a large. He was lucky. You need to get fitted, Sims said, adding a lot of people at the tower where he works had ordered their uniforms online. Matthews said she has run into cases where some Sailors were not properly measured at a different NEX and had to return their uni-See NWUon page 2 Medal of Honor recipient and long-time NAS Pensacola employee Len Keller died earlier this week. As of press time, no funeral arrangements had yet been made. He retired last year and shortly thereafter came back to work onboard the air station. NASP CO Capt.

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.

A record attendance of 550 runners took their mark as NOMI Commanding Officer, Capt. Lee L. Cornforth, MSC, made welcoming remarks and announced the start of the race. Both military and civilian federal employees along with a few family members ran for a variety of non-profits who are listed in this years approved charity list. In all, the event raised more than $5,650, which will be added to the overall campaigns total. NOMI and their staff has been a strong supporter of the CFC program over the years and the personal commitment they bring each year into the planning and execution of the CFC 5K Run is truly the reason for its success, said Ron Denson, director of the EscaRosa CFC program. As the runners started coming to the end of the race, AN Jacob Clauser of Naval Aviations Schools Command (NASC) was the first to cross the finish line at 17:46. In second place in the mens category was AN Christopher Sevilla and in third place was AN Jesse Johnson. The first in the womens category was Navy Lt. Maresa Jurczynski of Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI) with a time of 21:30; second place was Summer Forester and third place was Chiharu Sato. In first place of the walkers category was Larry Perry of Naval Branch Medical Clinic, Dental Department, followed by Theresa Moyer and Adina Soto-Harris. The staff and students of Naval Aviations Technical Training Command (NATTC) demonstrated the largest group support with more than 250 of them running in formations and independently. As the local campaign passed the 75 percent mark with the contribution of the 5K run added in, Denson stated the he was confident that the overall campaign is going to be very successful this year. I would like to remind all that with the holidays coming and the needs for the less fortunate, your support and contribution really does make a difference and does reach the non-profits that you, the donor decide. If you have not been asked about supporting an agency of your choice through the CFC program this year, call the local office at 452-2029. Runners are off at the start of the NOMI 4th Annual CFC-5K Run Oct. 16.

Its a privilege to assist them, to support and march with them in any way we can, Davis said. Every (NASP USAF) unit regardless of size is involved somehow. About 166 Air Force personnel from Pensacola Top 3 (Air Force personnel in the ranks of E-7 E-9), 455th Flying Training Squadron (FTS) , 479th Operations Support Squadron (OSS), 451 FTS, 313 Training Squadron (TRS), Det 2 361th TRS, Det 1 325th Fighter Wing (FW), TraWing 5, TraWing 6 and Det 2 66th TRS marched with the memorial marchers. TraWing 6s Master Sgt. Patrick Long didnt mind the early hours or brisk pace. Its awesome to walk with warriors who are honoring fallen warriors, Long said. The energy they create is tangible. Its two in the morning and I am wide awake and fired up; highly unusual for me at this hour. They are not just moseying along from Texas; their pace is just under a jog. The memorial march concluded on schedule Oct. 16 at Hurlburt Field, with family members, friends and loved ones of the fallen 12 special tactics Airmen accompanying the marchers on the final leg of the journey. The batons they carried will be on permanent display at Hurlburt.NWU from page 1forms. They were either not taking their time or they werent 100 percent sure, she said. Thats why they end up bringing them back here. In some cases, the tops, for example, didnt come far enough down, she said. In an inspection they would be definitely be called on it, she said. The tops have to fall at the top of the large back pocket or a few inches below it, she said. Matthews reminds Sailors that their new caps will shrink a little and then will be too tight on their heads. She tells them the caps have to be over the ear by two fingers when they put the cap on. And they cant wear the cap like a Marine. The Marines do wear theirs down more, and the Sailors are not allowed to do that and we have to tell them, Matthews said. When they are looking straight at you, you can see their eyes looking straight at you, Matthews said. All the accessories are available at Aviation Plaza, including boots and boot straps and caps. Everything you need, Matthews said. A lot came in before the official roll-out day. There is no need to special order the uniform unless a person is very tiny or very large.Lonestar from page 1ience) can be as excited as I will be. Not many of my friends have heard me sing. he said. Collins performed at some of the local fairs and small venues, but this will only be the second time the band will have performed since he took over as the lead singer roughly two years ago. They sang at the Buelah Sausage Festival in April 2008, but singing at a military base near where he grew up holds a special thrill. Lonestar has a reputation for supporting the military, but Whiting Field is familiar to Collins as a place where he attended some school dances while attending Pace Middle School and Pace High School. His father is a Navy veteran and his sister is currently in the Air Force and Collins said he grew up with a healthy respect for military personnel, and it is a trait that his band mates share. We share a lot of common ground and we meet a lot of soldiers and their families. We always have a true appreciation for these guys, he said. The band, Dean Sams, Michael Britt and Keech Rainwater, had great success with singer Richie McDonald since forming 15 years ago. The band has achieved 10 number one songs, sold more than 10 million albums, and been nominated for American County Musics Band of the Year eight times. With Collins in tow now, the band is preparing to release their first new album called The Future is Now this spring. Collins said the band just finished the studio work and expects the first new single to come out in January. He is excited about the project and said the music rocks with a really good edge. The band is expected to play many of their classics like Front Porch Looking In, Amazed, and Already There but Collins stated the band will mix in a few newer songs as well. Playing in front of a military audience is something special to Collins. He said that many of their songs speak to the service members and their families due to the hardships of separation they endure.

GOSPORT October 23, 2009PAGE3 By Beth Wilson Military Spouse Contributor The journey from shore duty to deployment readiness is marked with milestones along the way selected for orders, orders in hand, PCS to name a few. Recently I took another step My wonderful Sailor calls to say, Im making our appointment at Pass & ID. Is 3:20 tomorrow good for you? Ugh. Re-enlistment means so many things new orders, possible PCS, transition to or from sea duty and of course that dreaded, unflattering new dependent ID card. I know you know what I am talking about. No matter what I do to my hair, my makeup, my clothing selections that photo will be the most unflattering shot Ive taken in a decade. And I am stuck with it for three years. A note about your ID cards. You will need to present two forms of ID for your card. If unaccompanied by your service member (who should have the proper paperwork with him or her) you will also need DD1172 (service member must complete this form and fax it to Pass & ID) and power of attorney. While we are on the topic of IDs lets talk about identity theft. About six months ago an important change was made in dependent ID cards. Our Social Security number is now omitted from the card giving us a measure of security that was missing before. However, our service members SSN is still printed on the card. Learning to protect our identity is important. Please take time to check out these resources for important information and steps to protect our identity from theft and fraud. The Federal Trade Commission ( www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/mic rosites/idtheft ) and Identity Theft Awareness ( www.identity-theftawareness.com ) both provide articles, information and best practices to help us protect our identity and recover from identity theft. Military One Source ( www.militaryonesource.c om ) provides free identity theft packets with valuable information. So armed with my new ID it is off to obtain new decals for our vehicles. Before that there are a few things to know. If your name is on the vehicle registration you are good to go. If not you will need a power of attorney or other notarized document that authorizes you to obtain decals on behalf of your service member. You will also need the current vehicle registration and current proof of insurance. Finally, check with your local Pass & ID office for any local requirements (such as smog test certification in California). We mentioned a power of attorney or POA. A POA is a standard document all spouses should have at all times, but especially during deployment. A POA is a legal document that grants you authority or access to make decisions or authorize transactions on behalf of your absent service member. There are limitations and restrictions as well so it is important to talk to your base legal office to get the right information and to develop the right POA for you. To learn more about POAs and other services available to you at the Navy Legal Services office join my show ( www.blogtalkradio.com/n ht) Oct. 29. Dependent IDs, decals (and POAs) are basic to our ability to access the many resources and support available to us on base. Take a moment today to check the expiration date of your ID and decals. By Jeffrey Gott Legal Assistance Attorney Previously you heard that living trusts are complex instruments that require a lot of work to create and maintain if one wishes to achieve avoiding probate, which is often the most common goal. This article is intended to identify some instances where trusts make a bit more sense. These reasons include placing a childs inheritance under the control of a responsible adult until the child reaches an age older than 18; benefiting a disabled child without jeopardizing their entitlement to public benefits; transferring real estate located in different states; and achieving privacy with regard to the final disposition of ones assets. When minor children receive property in their own name, such as money from a life insurance policy, that money does not go directly to the children to do with as they please but instead is placed with their guardian. Subsequently, a guardians control will end sometime when the minor child reaches an age between 18 and 21. The exact age depends on state law. A trust can take the place of this arrangement such that a child must wait until an age of your choosing before they receive their money. Many times this is age 25 or some other arrangement whereby the child will receive one-third at age 25, one-third at age 30 and the remaining balance at age 35. Also, if the likely guardian of your minor child is an individual you are not comfortable with controlling your childs inheritance, for example, an exspouse, placing the assets in trust allows you to name a trustee of your choosing. Another instance when a trust is recommended is to provide for disabled adult children who receive public benefits. Generally, public benefits such as Medicaid and Social Security Disability are subject to a means test, for example applicants only receive the benefit if they receive minimal income and own little or no assets. In such cases if disabled children on Medicaid get an inheritance they are then disqualified from receiving the public benefit. Disabled children would have to use the inheritance to pay for expenses previously covered by the public benefit until they then re-qualified, presumably when the inheritance was exhausted. This can be avoided with a special needs trust which puts the inheritance with a trustee who is only to spend the money to supplement the public benefits and not take its place. A trust is also advisable where one owns real property in different states. In most states the law maintains that real estate whose owner is deceased must go through probate. Thus, someone living in Florida who also owns property in Alabama could be faced with two probates, one in each state. If, however, the Alabama real estate was placed in a trust then a second probate could be avoided. Lastly, administering a trust tends to be a more private operation than opening a probate at the local courthouse. Court cases are, for the most part, public records. Therefore, if privacy is a paramount concern a trust can be useful. Creating a stand-alone trust is generally beyond the scope of a military legal assistance office. Our attorneys are normally limited to putting simple trusts in a last will and testament. Discussing these issues with a legal assistance attorney is always a good place to start. At Naval Air Station Pensacola, a legal assistance attorney can be reached at 452-3734.

Were out here to get some training done, Lt. Chris Pratt, aviation and armament division officer, said. Our EA-6Bs are ICAP-3 equipped (improved capability modification program); the Marines that you see down here are going to be getting the ICAP-3 variant and theyre out here flying with us today. We did some familiarization flights with them; we may be working with the Air Force (as well). VAQ-140 was also doing workups for their upcoming overseas deployment. While not engaged in ops, squadron personnel took time to visit the National Naval Aviation Museum and visit Pensacola.

From NAVFAC SoutheastNavy Secretary Ray Mabus recently outlined five ambitious goals for decreasing reliance on petroleum and curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Energy reform is a strategic initiative and the stakes are very high, Mabus told Navy and Marine Corps officials and defense contractors attending the Naval Energy Forum in Northern Virginia. We simply rely too much on a declining stock of fossil fuels that most likely will continue to rise in cost over the next decade. In an effort to shift that reliance on fossil fuel, Mabus said he will direct the Navy and Marine Corps to begin weighing the life-cycle energy costs associated with all acquisitions when making contract awards. The lifetime energy costs of building a system and the fully burdened cost of fuel of empowering those (weapons systems) will be a mandatory evaluation factor used in awarding contracts, Mabus said. Were going to hold industry contractually accountable for meeting energy targets and system efficiency requirements. The department also will consider contractors overall energy efficiency as a factor in making acquisition decisions. We want industry to take steps to not just provide us with energy-efficient products, but to produce those products in energy efficient ways, he said. In addition to adjusting its approach to acquisition, the Navy by 2012 will establish a green strike group of fuel-efficient ships, with some running on biofuels. By 2016, that strike group will deploy as a green fleet composed of nuclear-powered ships, surface combatants equipped with hybrid-electric alternative power systems running biofuel and aircraft flying only biofuels, he said. Other goals outlined by the secretary include: By 2015, the Navy will cut in half the petroleum consumption of its 50,000-vehicle fleet. As vehicles go out of service, they will be replaced with flexfuel, hybrid and electric vehicles. Moving to biofuels and electric vehicles will benefit the local communities where bases are located and will spur the adoption of similar vehicles (locally), Mabus said. By 2020, the Navy will produce at least half of its shore-based energy from alternative sources, with the goal of returning power to the electric grid wherever possible. By 2020, the Navy will ensure that 50 percent of the total energy consumed by ships, aircraft, vehicles and shore facilities is supplied through alternative and renewable sources. Today that figure is 17 percent. None of the goals will require legislative action, Mabus said. He cited advances in biofuels and recent improvements in engine efficiency for both ships and aircraft as evidence they are reachable. No one has ever gotten anything big done by being timid, he said. GOSPORT October 23, 2009PAGE5Dormitories: are they fire safe?With all these safety precautions in place, if we ignore general safety and common sense requirements we can still find ourselves in danger of loss of life or severe injury; lets call this the people factor. One of the leading causes of fires in dormitories or combined bachelors quarters (CBQs) is unattended cooking. People get distracted or are tired, forgetting what they have started with the results possibly being a fire. Smoking, candle use or other open-flame devices are prohibited for use in the dormitories and CBQs on our installations. If personnel ignore the rules, devastating results can happen. We remind personnel not to ignore smoke detectors or fire alarms sounding, personnel that delay in their evacuation can find themselves in smoke which can lead to being disoriented or overcome resulting in serious injury or loss of life. The practice of fire safety is everyones responsibility, especially the students. Every fire safety rule needs to be followed and when these rules are disregarded the probability of fire increases. Fires do not start on their own, people start fires, the people factor. Listed below are some safety precautions for personnel living in the dormitories or CBQs to observe: Review the posted building evacuation plan and know two ways out. Know 452-3333 as the local emergency reporting number. Ensure they dont tamper with the installed smoke detectors. Ensure they dont hang any items from the sprinkler heads. Inspect their room for fire hazards, such as electrical cords/outlets and clutter. Check exit doors and windows; ensure they will open properly. Know their building, floor and room numbers. Respond to fire alarms at all times and utilize the nearest and safest exit. Insure students know how to properly use heating equipment and base-provided cooking appliances. Unplug all heat producing devices when not in use. Know the location of fire alarm pull stations and fire extinguishers and be familiar with their use. Fire safety and prevention is really using your common sense. Public fire safety awareness is a key to preventing fires and we all must promote fire safety and prevention with all personnel. Instructors and supervisors must be proactive in support of fire safety. Be fire safe and lets overcome the people factor. Smoking, candle use and other openflame devices are prohibited in base dormitories and CBQs –for good reason.Fourth in a series of fire prevention articles during October National Fire Prevention MonthNavy sets ambitious energy goalsFrom Inspector Donald Harris Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast Dormitories today are as fire safe as man can make them, they are fitted with installed sprinkler systems, hood suppression systems and smoke detectors; the exits are clearly marked and well-lit.

By Art Giberson Special to GosportNavy and Marine Corps photographers from across the nation will come home to Pensacola Oct. 26-29 for the annual National Association of Naval Photography Reunion. The reunion will be held at the Hampton Inn, 2 Via de Luna Drive, Pensacola Beach. Naval photography, like naval aviation, had been a part of the Pensacola landscape since 1914 when Lt. Cmdr. Henry C. Mustin steamed into Pensacola Bay aboard the battleship USS Mississippi with orders to establish the Navys first aeronautic station and flying school. Among the ships crew was ships cook and amateur photographer Walter Leroy Richardson. Dropping anchor a few hundred yards off shore from what is now the Pensacola Naval Air Station, Mustin and a handful of crew members scanned the debris-littered shoreline while Richardson snapped pictures. Over the next few weeks, while Sailors from the Mississippi labored to turn the abandoned Navy shipyard into some resemblance of a naval station, Richardson labored equally hard to keep them fed and during his off-duty hours documented their flying activities. His photographs, particularly those of accidents, quickly caught Mustins attention and Richardson was permanently assigned to the aeronautic station as an official photographer. Four years later Richardson was given a commission and dispatched to Miami to establish the Navys first photo school. In 1921 photography became an official naval occupational specialty. In 1923 the Naval School of Photography came home to Pensacola. For the next three quarters of a century Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen entering the naval specialty of photography received their basic and advanced training in Pensacola. In 1995 the Naval School of Photography became a Department of Defense Photographic School. By 1998 it had become clear that training facilities at NAS Pensacola were inadequate to meet department of defense requirements, thus forcing a move to a new DoD mass communications training facility at Fort Meade, Md. Reunion information is available from Robert Devore at 455-3907 or through email at 09-pcola-ru@cox.net. Giberson can be reached at 455-5931 or through e-mail at art.giberson@ cox.net. PAGE GOSPORT 6 October 23, 2009 Naval photographers return to Pensacola next week for reunion Now easier for some spouses to be hired by federal governmentBy George Markfelder Deputy Assistant Secretary of the NavyWASHINGTON (NNS) It is now easier for certain spouses of active-duty Sailors and Marines to be hired by the federal government. New Department of Defense hiring authorities took effect this fall, and the Office of Personal Management (OPM) issued final regulatory guidelines in the Federal Register under the title, Noncompetitive Appointment of Certain Military Spouses. This is a super opportunity for certain spouses of active-duty military members to serve their country directly, and to begin a great career with worldwide assignment opportunities, said Shirley Scott, director of Human Resources Policy and Program Department at the DoN Office of Civilian Human Resources. Federal jobs come with large benefits, such as tuition reimbursement, leave and holidays, and dependent care to name just a few. Scott explained that the eligibility for this noncompetitive hiring authority falls into four major categories: (1) a spouse of an U.S. armed forces service member serving on active duty (not for training) for more than 180 days, provided the spouse relocates to the member's new permanent duty station; (2) a spouse of a military service member who is retired from active duty with a documented serviceconnected disability rating of 100 percent; (3) a spouse of a military service member who retired, was released or discharged from active duty and has a disability rating of 100 percent as documented by the Department of Veterans Affairs; or (4) a spouse of a military service member killed while on active duty. In the latter case, the spouse must be the un-married widow/widower of the deceased service member to meet eligibility. Of course the intent of these regulations is to make it easier for the federal government to recruit and retain skilled and experienced employees, said Scott, but also, when service members have a permanent change of station and the family moves, the spouse is typically forced to find a new employer at that new location. Allowing military spouses to at least compete for jobs that would otherwise only be open to current civilians or veterans provides us, the employer, with a greater pool of potential candidates. It is a win-win for us all.The Naval School of Photography moved into Bldg. 1500 aboard the NAS Pensacola Naval Air Station in 1950 and eventually became known throughout the naval service as “The mecca of naval photography.†The building still exists near Fort Barrancas. It is slated to become the NAS command headquarters in 2011. Photo courtesy of Art GibersonWounded Warriors from page 1employee with a significant knowledge base and extensive experience. Retired Master Chief James Wilson, a single amputee, recently completed the Ironman Triathlon in Orlando, and is the newest civil service employee at the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training in Pensacola. He shared his experiences as a Wounded Warrior with the conference, and stressed the advantages of hiring returning injured veterans. We are the same dedicated professionals that we were on the battlefield, said Wilson. We bring to the civilian workforce that same instinctive dedication we had for the military services. All we want is a chance to serve again. Telicia Stanton was the first Wounded Warrior hired at NETC, and works for the Naval Service Training Command in Pensacola. Stanton is an Army veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where she worked as a truck driver and mechanic. She completed her bachelors degree in human relations at Falkner University through the VAs Vocational Rehabilitation Program and was hired after she finished school. I really appreciate that theres someone out there looking out for Wounded Warriors, said Stanton. Through the program I was able to complete my degree and now am in a position to help others through my job as a HR technician working with Naval ROTC midshipmen. The Department of Veterans Affairs was represented at the conference by George Dunlap, VA employment coordinator. He explained that the VA offers several vocational rehabilitation and employment programs including the Coming Home to Work Initiative and the Non-Paid Work Experience Program. These initiatives provide eligible veterans with the opportunity to obtain training and practical job experience in a federal, state, or local government agency. We work closely with NETC and other Department of Defense agencies to place Wounded Warriors where it can benefit both the veteran and the agency, said Dunlap. NETCs asking each of their commands to ensure a place for Wounded Warriors is an example we hope other agencies will follow. Michele Salzman, an Army veteran of the Bosnia campaign was recently hired under the Wounded Warrior initiative at NETC and works at the command headquarters in Pensacola as an administrative assistant. I was extremely impressed how hard everyone worked to be accommodating, said Salzman. My boss and co-workers have treated me with utmost respect and made sure I had everything I needed to do my job. The transition from Wounded Warrior to civil servant was a long one, but all the hard work has paid off. Lt. Cmdr. Don Frandsen, NETC administrative officer, says hiring a Wounded Warrior was a perfect fit for his department. Michelle has been focused and task-oriented from the start, said Frandsen. The experience, dedication and drive she shows every day is inspiring to everyone in the office. She even takes the Army jokes in stride. Chief Hospital Corpsman Felix Perez is the senior program manager for the NAS Pensacola Wounded Warrior Program, and has helped more than 100 service members transition back to duty status or into the civilian world. I like to say that the Wounded Warrior Program is not a hand me down, but instead a hand me up, said Perez. Its a proven win/win concept where we enable a proven, dependable workforce that is familiar with military traditions, customs and lingo, to continue serving their country by becoming civil service employees.

It is intended to urge employers, as they seek to fill positions, to embrace the richness of Americas diversity by considering the talents of all workers, including workers with disabilities. People with disabilities must be woven into our work culture, said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Kathy Martinez. Already, we benefit from the incredible array of talent they bring to our workplaces. But we must raise the bar, we must create the inexorable expectation that people with disabilities will contribute in every way to our economic successes. Only by nurturing this expectation and providing people with disabilities with unlimited employment opportunities, can we all benefit from their talents. This years theme emphasizes the vision of the Labor Departments Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP): a world in which people with disabilities have unlimited employment opportunities. Early selection of an annual theme for upcoming National Disability Employment Awareness Month helps the private sector; federal, state and local governments; and advocacy organizations plan events and programs that showcase the abilities and skills of job seekers and working Americans who have disabilities. ODEP is the nations first assistant secretary-led office that addresses policies that impact upon the employment of people with disabilities. The office provides national leadership on disability employment policy by developing and influencing the use of evidence-based disability employment policies and practices, building collaborative partnerships, and delivering authoritative and credible data on the employment of people with disabilities. As background for National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Public Law 176, enacted by Congress in 1945, designated the first week in October as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. President Harry S. Truman designated the (now former) Presidents Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities to carry out the law. Congress changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month in 1988. The responsibility for leading the nationwide recognition was transferred to the newly created ODEP in 2001.‘Expectation + opportunity = full participation’National Disability Employment Awareness Month President Obama’s 2009 NDEAM proclamationFair access to employment is a fundamental right of every American, including the 54 million people in this country living with disabilities. A job can provide financial stability, help maximize our potential, and allow us to achieve our dreams. As Americans, we possess a range of vocational opportunities to make the most of our talents and succeed in a chosen career; those with disabilities are entitled to the same opportunities. During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we recommit ourselves to implementing effective policies and practices that increase employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. My administration is committed to promoting positive change for every American, including those with disabilities. The federal government and its contractors can lead the way by implementing effective employment policies and practices that increase opportunities and help workers achieve their full potential. Recognizing the need for equal employment opportunities, we must also strengthen and expand the educational opportunities for individuals with disabilities. If we are to build a world free from unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination, we must ensure that every American receives an education that prepares him or her for future success. Each day, Americans with disabilities play a critical role in forging and shaping the identity of our nation. Their contributions touch us all through personal experience or through that of a family member, neighbor, friend, or colleague. Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 2009, as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. I call on all Americans to celebrate the contributions of individuals with disabilities to our workplaces and communities and to promote the employment of individuals with disabilities to create a better, more inclusive America, one in which every person is rightly recognized for his or her abilities and accomplishments. BARACK OBAMA From U.S. Department of Labor Office of Public Affairs (NAPS) Increasingly, individuals with a physical disability are redefining what it means to be disabled. According to the American Disability Act (ADA), about 43 million Americans are living with at least one disability, and most Americans will experience a disability at some time during the course of their lives. For some, that experience can be such that it changes the direction of their life forever. Take for example, Californian artist Dennis Francesconi, who, as a result of a skiing accident at age 17, broke his neck and became a wheelchair-bound quadriplegic. Eventually, he began to draw by gripping a pencil between his teeth. In time, and with the support of his wife, Kristi, his skills as an artist blossomed. Later, he was introduced to the U.S. Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA), a for-profit organization run by disabled artists seeking financial independence, formed nearly 50 years ago. Said Francesconi, One of the proudest moments of my life was when I was promoted by the MFPA to be a full member artist and I was able to tell the Social Security officer that I didnt need the monthly benefits check any more. Each year in October, artists such as Francesconi and those from other walks of life draw attention to the valuable contribution that the physically disabled bring to society during National Disability Awareness Month. To find out more about the MFPA, visit www.mfpausa. com. Drawing inspiration from disability California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger used the artwork of Dennis Francesconi (seen here, center, with his wife, Kristi, and the governor) on his government house holiday card last year.

More than 1,000 athletes compete in the November state Fall Classic event. However, before athletes can compete in this state level event, they must first qualify at regional and area level events. This year the area Fall Classic event for Northwest Florida was held on Sept. 26 at Liberty Lanes of Pensacola. More than 200 Special Olympic athletes from Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties were in attendance. Seventy-four volunteers from Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) joined other volunteer organizations to help make this Fall Classics event one to remember. The event began with checking in contestants by lane assignments and shifts. The opening ceremony began with the Special Olympics oath, Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt. The enthusiasm of the athletes is contagious, commented one Navy participant. Its nice to be part of this great event in our community. The intangible feelings that Ill take away from this experience will last a lifetime. The first shift of bowlers was then allowed a five-minute warm-up period followed by a full three games. More than 50 area and NATTC volunteers assisted with the 32 lanes to ensure games were orderly and to provide encouragement for contestants. After the first shift was finished with their three games, a free lunch of sloppy joes, chips, and refreshments was provided. After lunch, each second shift bowler was assigned a lane and began bowling their three games. In addition to the days bowling competition, an Olympic Village entertained off-shift contestants while they were waiting their turn to bowl. In the Liberty Village, 15 NATTC staff volunteers coordinated arts and craft activities and ran carnival type games for attendees. After both bowling shifts had completed their allotted three games, overall scores were tallied by a team of volunteers who averaged all game scores. First through fourth place ribbons were then distributed to individual bowlers. Teams were also awarded ribbons based on their average team scores. All winning athletes from this years area fall classics will soon compete at the November state-level event in Orlando.

GOSPORT October 23, 2009PAGEB3 Navy raises awareness of domestic violenceFrom Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) During October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Navy is working to raise awareness of options for reporting domestic violence, as well as means to prevent it. People in healthy relationships feel supported and safe. In unhealthy relationships, partners often feel unsafe, fearful, confused and helpless. If you recognize that your partner has already crossed the line and you have you have been physically or emotionally abused, there is help. The help comes by first reporting the abuse. There are two types of reporting options, restricted and unrestricted. Restricted reports do not involve military chain of command or law enforcement. Unrestricted reports will include some type of investigation by command and or law enforcement. Both options make available to victims the full range of advocacy, medical and counseling services. Many people are unaware that the restricted reporting option even exists, said Kathy Turner, of the Fleet and Family Support Programs Counseling Advocacy and Prevention Program. Restricted reporting has been available since 2006. It gives victims time and opportunity to get information and professional advice about their rights and available services so they can make informed decisions. Often victims initially choose the restricted reporting option and later decide that they want the chain of command notified so that the offender can be held accountable. The victim can elect to change a restricted report to an unrestricted report. But an unrestricted report cannot be later changed to a restricted report. Often, victims of abuse are isolated and only hear information from their abusive partners. They may not know their support options and may believe that if they ask for help it will end the military career. Its especially important for victims to know about the restricted reporting option, Turner said. This option allows people to control how much help and services they receive. People can call their local FFSC anonymously to learn more about restricted reporting. The option to make a restricted report is available to active-duty service members and their spouses. Intimate partners of active-duty service members who realize that they are being abused are also urged to contact the Fleet and Family Support Center to learn more about restricted reporting. Many victims of abuse might feel comfortable talking with their health-care provider but fear that the chain of command and/or law enforcement would be notified. Under the restricted reporting option, adult victims may speak to a health-care professional at a military medical facility, said Turner. But it is important that they be direct and ask up front about restricted reporting. The health-care provider will provide needed medical care and get them in touch with a victim advocate at the Fleet and Family Support Center. Restricted reports can also be made directly to the victim advocates or their clinical supervisors at the Fleet and Family Support Center. Domestic violence cuts across all age groups and social classes. It happens to Sailors as well as spouses. It happens to men as well as women. Domestic violence also goes beyond physical abuse. It includes emotional abuse such as threats, isolation, extreme jealousy and humiliation. It also includes sexual abuse. If you think you may be a victim of domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1 (800) 799SAFE or visit your installation Fleet and Family Support Center for information on available resources. AT NASP that number is 452-5990.

By Anne Thrower Gosport Staff writerWhether its Naval Air Station Pensacolas headquarters, the lighthouse or a fall festival at Blue Angel Recreation Park, theres plenty of spooky things to do around the base. Starting tonight (Oct. 23) and continuing Saturday (Oct. 24), NASPs headquarters in Bldg. 624 will be turned into something scary to see. The house will be open from 5-10 p.m. both nights. There is a $5 admission charge for everyone. There will be goodie bags for children, even though the house is really oriented more toward the young adults on the base, said IT Roy Daniels, a member of the NASP MWR committee thats organizing the event. Were trying to put it more toward the NATTC folks and an older crowd, Daniels said. Its going to be scary and probably not all that appropriate for your 4-year-old or 5-year-old. The hallways on both floors will be used as part of the haunted house. There will be scary music to go along with the props. Although Daniels is keeping some of the details close to the vest, he did hint there will be lots of gore. Its going to be a little intense for younger viewers, he said. Its the first time Bldg. 624 has been turned into a haunted house as part of the fundraiser for the base commands Christmas party, Daniels said. It was something a lot of people could be involved in here and have some enjoyment, he said, about 25 people will be involved.

The tours will take place between 6-10:30 pm., Oct. 23-24 and Oct. 3031.Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children 7 to 11, seniors, and active military. No reservations are necessary.
