Naval hospital to close temporarily Nov. 20-22


From Rod Duren
NHP PAO

During the weekend of Nov. 20-22, it will be neces-
sary for Naval Hospital Pensacola to temporarily close,
including all services for patients, while new emergency
generators begin a phased-in installation. There will be
no power available within the facility during this process.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 20, at 11 a.m., the hospital will
cease all clinical operations including pharmacy. The
main gate to the facility will be closed to all incoming
traffic at noon. Any remaining inpatients at the facility
will be transferred to other nearby medical facilities.
Sick call and non-emergency outpatient care for mili-
tary and enrolled beneficiaries will be available on a


walk-in basis at the branch health clinic at Naval Air
Technical Training Center (NATTC) onboard NAS
Pensacola. Hours of operation for these services are
Friday, noon to 7 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m.
to 7 p.m.


The NATTC clinic is located next to the Portside
Complex on East Avenue directly behind the main
administration and galley facilities of NATTC. For addi-
tional information or directions call 452-8970, ext. 123.


All naval hospital customers who may need urgent or
emergency care, during the Nov. 20-22 shutdown, should
go to the closest hospital emergency room or urgent care
clinic.
The Pharmacy Refill Center at the NEX Mall will
maintain its regular schedule on Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m., and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Because of the weekend closure, the naval hospital
will cease providing labor and delivery services as of 6
p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18. All maternity patients, 36
weeks gestation or more, will be contacted by Navy hos-
pital personnel with instructions on where to report for
care in the event of labor or other health care needs.
All naval hospital services will resume Monday mom-
ing, Nov. 23, at 7 a.m.


Spike in
motorcycle
accidents

sends warning
to NASP riders
By Mike O'Connor
Gosport Associate Editor

A recent increase in
nationwide motorcycle-
related fatalities among
service members has
prompted Navy and base
officials to remind riders
of their risks and urge safe
riding practices.
"Recently a significant
number of Sailors have
been seriously injured or
have died in private
motor vehicle (PMV) and
motorcycle mishaps,"
Adm. Jonathan Greenert,
Vice Chief of Naval
Operations (VCNO),
wrote in a memo last
week. "In one month we
have lost 31 percent of the
number of Sailors we lost
in all of FY 2009. This is
a tragedy for our service,
constitutes a significant
impediment to Navy
readiness, and requires
that we refocus our efforts
at every level of com-
mand."
NAS Pensacola Safety
Department Director Jon
Winters confirmed the
VCNO's numbers. "In
the first 17 days of
October, we have had
four Marines and four
Sailors killed in motor
vehicle accidents.
Another one is in critical
condition." Five of the
service members lost
were on motorcycles, so
was the injured service
member.
"VCNO has directed
we take a look at our traf-
fic safety programs and
reemphasize them to head
this (trend) off. What
we've done is try to
increase the awareness
and get the message out
to refocus on these pro-
grams."
The Navy and Marine
fatalities took place Oct.
1-17 in North Carolina,
Virginia, Hawaii,
Massachusetts and
California.
Jay Harrison, NASP
Traffic Safety Program
manager, has worked
with Winters to develop a
plan to promote safe rid-

John Appleyard to be recognized at


Veterans Day ceremony in Pensacola


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

John Appleyard, Pensacola businessman
and historian, will be recognized during the
Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11 in
Pensacola for the contributions he has made
for veteran's causes.
He was especially helpful, along with
Vince Whibbs, in raising the $475,000 need-
ed for the World War II memorial at Veterans


Memorial Park, said Retired Capt. John E.
Pritchard of the Pensacola Veterans
Memorial Park Foundation. And he was part
of the organizing effort for the first honor
flight to Washington D.C. for World War II
veterans.
Appleyard, 86, is a World War II veteran
himself who went on to found the John
Appleyard Agency in Pensacola with his
wife, Eleanor. He served as chief executive
officer until 1993 when his son, Dick, took

Air show brings


changes this year


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

The countdown to the 2009
Blue Angels Homecoming Air
Show at NAS Pensacola is near-
ing completion.
For veteran air show goers, the
two-day event on Nov. 13-14 will
have some familiar sights and
sounds and some changes as well.
One of the biggest changes this
year is the night show with all its
performers, pyrotechnics and fire-
works will be on Saturday (Nov.
14), instead of Friday.
Organizers hope moving to a


weekend will allow more people
to attend the event and encourage
those who come on Saturday to
stick around for a few more hours.
'This is a perfect family event,
concluding early enough for
small children, and the fireworks
will be the best seen in the local
area this year," Shanaghan said.
"We were competing with high
school football on Friday nights,"
he said. "And with the show end-
ing at 6:30 p.m., people on Friday
were not able to get from work to
home to get the family and then

over.
In addition to Appleyard, 12 World War II
veterans will be singled out during the cere-
mony, which will follow the Veterans Day
parade that starts at 9 a.m.
The parade will begin at the intersection
of South Spring and Main streets and pro-
ceed down Main Street to the Veterans
Memorial Park.

Story of base's history

told in bronze plaques


Story, photo

Gosport Associate Editor

From a storm's destruction has
come a commitment cast in
bronze to preserve NAS
Pensacola's history for future
generations to see.
As part of NAS Pensacola's
post-Hurricane Ivan Historic
Mitigation and Landscape
Repairs project, a series of
bronze plaques which commem-
orate people, places, events and
buildings have been placed in
scenic and historic locations on
base.
Twenty-eight
plaques out of
30 total have
b e e n
been
placed by
contractor
ValleyCrest
Landscaping
Development in
the project's four
pedestrian plazas along NASP's
waterfront areas; the last two will
be in place by Nov. 10. A date has
not yet been set for the official
dedication.
"There was a concern that


along with the historic buildings
that were damaged beyond repair
during Ivan, that history not be
lost along with the actual struc-
ture," said Bryan Moeller, Naval
Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) Southeast, who
worked on the project.
The Historic Mitigation and
Landscape Repairs project is a
multi-phased collaborative effort
involving state and base officials
during the recovery efforts fol-
lowing 2004's Hurricane Ivan. A
seawall walkway running the
length of Radford Boulevard
connects the project's west plaza
to its main plaza. Ten
plaques are
located in
t h e
main
plaza;
the
north
and west
plazas have
six each. The
seawall walkway features
an additional eight plaques.

Navy's Chief Training Officer

tells business leaders open seas

ensure American prosperity


Story, photo
by Joy Samsel
NETC Public Affairs

"Our Navy exists to pro-
vide for the safety, the
security and the prosperity
of America." That was one
of the messages delivered
to more than 500 business
leaders and military guests
at the annual Combined
Rotary Military
Appreciation
Luncheon by
Rear Adm.
Joseph
Kilkenny,
commander,
Naval
Education
and Training
Command
(NETC).
The event
was held
Nov. 2 at the Rear
New World Joseph I
Landing
restaurant in Pensacola.
Addressing the audi-
ence, Kilkenny explained
the importance of free seas
to America's commerce
and security.
'Today, the economies
of Pensacola, and indeed
the entire United States,
are tied to the seas.
Because the maritime
domain the world's
oceans, seas, bays, estuar-
ies, islands, coastal areas,
littorals and the airspace
above them supports
90 percent of the world's
trade, it carries the
lifeblood ofthe global sys-
tem that links every coun-
try on earth. It links
Pensacola to the world."
Kilkenny also gave the
audience a snapshot of


K
I


how the military stationed
in Pensacola affects the
community.
"In fiscal year 2008
more than 4,000 uni-
formed staff at the local
training commands pro-
vided training for more
than 14,000 military stu-
dents. These military
members come from
every state in the nation, as
well as many of our allied
nations."
Citing
information
from a 2008
economic
impact report
compiled by
NASP,
Kilkenny told
Sthe business
leaders the
gross salaries
of the uni-
Adm. formed mili-
lilkenny tary staff and
students
exceeded $710 million.
For the more than 4,000
civilian employees at area
military commands, their
salaries exceed $210 mil-
lion.
According to Kilkenny,
the military impact on the
local community can be
measured in more than
dollars.
"Every command has
active Community
Outreach programs that
touch the lives of the elderly,
the homeless and others,"
Kilkenny said. "Working
with the various support
organizations and schools in
the area, our commands
logged more 119,000 vol-
unteer hours last year. This
too is the legacy of the mili-
tary in Pensacola."

band will be performing.
Organizers are already
watching the weather on
their computers. "We all
start looking at the weather

because that's one thing we
cannot control," said
MWR Director Kerry
Shanaghan earlier this
week. With more than
175,000 expected to attend
the two-day show, the
weather can be key.
Attendees will also

"While some people are worried
about a DUI, that's nothing com-

and you could cripple or kill some-
body else that did not make the deci-

"Additionally, if you drive late at

greater risk, even if you are sober.
Unfortunately we see that through

Shanaghan said. "If it did,
it wouldn't be in the same
way, shape or fashion that
we currently do it."
During the show, volun-
teers are used to work the
concession booths and
other areas around the
show. While not paid
directly, volunteers earn
money for their command,
based on concession sales.

Navy Legal: Avoiding unnecessary residential lease fees with a landlord


By Lt. Corey D. Bean
Legal Assistance Attorney

Imagine getting mail from your land-
lord about a month after moving out of
your apartment.
You assume the envelope contains
your refunded security deposit. Instead
it contains a bill for $3,552.01 and a
notice that your account will be turned
over to a collection agency if not settled
in 30 days.
While a legal assistance attorney may
be able to help you obtain some relief
(depending on the facts of the case), this
situation was probably avoidable.
Fees for repairs, early termination
and other lease violations can add up
quickly and seem disproportionate to
any damage suffered by the landlord.
The following is my best advice for
avoiding having to write a big check
after terminating a lease.
Read. The lease documents the
agreement between you and your land-
lord. When you sign it you agree to it
whether you read it or not because you
are presumed to have read it.
Most apartment complexes and prop-
erty management companies use stan-
dard forms with blanks filled in.
When you read through your lease
make sure that all blanks are filled in
and that the numbers match previous
representations of the landlord.
For instance, the amount of your
monthly rent, length of the lease, due
date for rent payments, amount of late
fees and notice for termination should
all be filled in.
An individual landlord/owner might
not use a form lease. You still need to
read the lease carefully and make sure
you understand all terms, especially
because some terms may be unconven-
tional.
Negotiate. No matter who you rent
from, you can still propose changes to
any lease contract.
The worst the landlord can do is
refuse to change a term you do not like
in which case you are no worse off than


before you asked.
If the terms are too onerous for you to
accept, look elsewhere for housing.
Especially in a depressed housing mar-
ket, landlords may work harder to com-
pete for your business.
Be sure that all of your negotiations
are in good faith. Sneaking terms into a
lease may give your landlord the option
to void the contract. Even if your land-
lord does not void your lease, your
landlord may now be looking
for ways to add violations or
fees.
Inspect. Before you
accept the house or apart-
ment, walk through it. "
What was promised must
be delivered, and you do
not need to accept any-
thing less.
For instance, if you were
promised new appliances and
there is an avocado green refrigerator
from 1974 in the kitchen, you can refuse
to accept the lease under the original
terms or at all. Similarly, if the premis-
es are filthy or infested, you do not have
to accept them.
Document. Take pictures or a video
walkthrough of pre-existing damage in
your house or apartment and note it on
the move-in check list that your landlord
should give you. Refuse to sign a lease
unless the landlord agrees to document
pre-existing damage. Save the pictures
and the move-in check list.
Comply. Pay rent on time to avoid
late fees. Also comply with other terms
in the lease.
If you are going to change room-
mates, most leases require an addendum
since you cannot sublease without the
landlord's approval of the new resident.
This requirement is understandable
from the landlord's point of view since
they have an interest in who is living on
the premises.
If you move out and at least one
roommate stays behind, also make sure
to get a lease addendum. Without the
addendum you can and will be held


liable for damages that may occur after
you are no longer living on the premis-
es.
Notify. Make sure to give advanced
notice before your move-out date to
avoid early termination fees or having to
pay more rent than necessary.
Although the Service Members' Civil
Relief Act provides some protection for
civilians or reservists receiving orders
to active duty and for active-duty
personnel receiving PCS orders
or orders to deploy for at
least 90 days, delay in noti-
fying your landlord may
result in more cash in
your landlord's pocket
and less cash in yours.
Notice under SCRA
or military clause. The
SCRA (and most military
clauses in a residential lease
simply parrot the language of the
SCRA) does not require that your land-
lord terminate your lease 30 days after
being properly notified of your orders
and move. It requires that the lease be
terminated 30 days after the next rental
payment is due.
So, if you give notice to move on Oct.
2, and will vacate the premises on Oct.
3, even under the SCRA the landlord
can hold you liable for all of October
and November rent. You gave notice on
Oct. 2 after rent was due on Oct. 1. The
next rental payment is due Nov. 1.
Thirty days after Nov. 1 is Nov. 30,
which will be the effective termination
date of the lease (assuming the lease
would not have terminated before then
under its original terms).
Notice under lease termination
clause. Your lease termination clause
may indicate that the lease will automat-
ically renew unless notice of intent to
terminate is given 30 or possibly 60
days prior to the end of the lease.
This means if your lease says 60 days
notice is required and you give notice 45
days before the end of your lease, the
landlord can hold you liable for an addi-
tional month of rent.


Worse yet, if you in fact move out
prior to the end of the lease, the landlord
can invoke early lease termination
clauses for "liquidated damages" and
any concessions or discounts given to
you during the terms of your lease.
Let's say you rent a place for $900 a
month after a 10 percent discount. You
move out with insufficient notice at 11-
and-a-half months of a 12-month lease.
You could be hit with an extra
month's rent under the automatic renew-
al clause ($1,000 since the discount
would not apply to the automatic renew-
al), liquidated damages ($850 usual-
ly 85 percent of one month's rent) and
charge back of the discount under an
early termination clause ($1,200).
While a liquidated damages clause
may be dubious in a residential lease in
most states and one has to ask how a
lease can automatically renew and ter-
minate early at the same time it is
better to plan ahead and give proper
notice than it is to contest the issue after
the landlord already feels aggrieved.
Re-inspect. Do a walk though with
your landlord after moving out. The
landlord should give you the chance to
fix any damage yourself before hiring a
contractor to fix it and sending you the
bill. But the landlord can only give you
this option if you make yourself avail-
able.
Small things like nail holes in walls
and broken internal door knobs can be
relatively inexpensive to repair yourself,
but hiring someone to fix them will give
you sticker shock.
Also most landlords will charge dis-
posal fees for items left in an apartment
after the lease terminates such as $200
to remove a sofa and $25 to remove
each bag of trash.
Following these steps during the
lease is minimally cumbersome and may
save substantial headaches and cash
upon termination.
Contact your local legal assistance
office with any questions regarding your
residential lease. At NASP, the legal
office can be reached at 452-3734.

Voting changes will make it easier for service members to vote


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

The Military and Overseas
Voter Empowerment Act recent-
ly signed by President Barack
Obama will make voting in fed-
eral elections more streamlined
for service members, especially
those serving overseas.
"It will make it a lot easier to
just jump on your computer and
send your request for the absen-
tee ballot back to you, and all
you have to do is fill it out and
send it back in the mail," said Lt.
Cheryl Ausband, who is serving
as the voting assistance officer
for Naval Air Station Pensacola.
Ausband is also the judge
advocate for NASP, including
Corry Station and Saufley Field,
and for NAS Whiting Field and
Navy facilities in Panama City.
Previously, voting assistance
officers had to provide the phys-
ical address where military


Lt. Cheryl Ausband
members could request an
absentee ballot.
"Now all we have to do is say
'go to a Web site,'" Ausband
said.
At Naval Air Station
Pensacola, plans are already
underway to implement the bill.
"My job is to get the word out
and make sure everybody knows


where the information is,"
Ausband said.
"I think the biggest effect on
voting is the fact that it's doing
away with all the extra require-
ments, especially for those over-
seas," Ausband said.
That includes the procedural
requirements such as having the
document notarized. "It gives
you that flexibility to still have
your vote be counted, she said.
The bill also allows military
members to track the status of
their ballot requests.
"Before you sent off your
request in the mail and never
knew if it made it to somebody
or if you were actually going to
get a ballot back," Ausband said.
"With this you can actually
know what's going on and
what's coming."
Key aspects of the bill include
the following:
States must establish a pro-
cedure that allows military voters


to request voter registration
applications and absentee ballot
applications by mail or electron-
ically for general, special, pri-
mary and runoff elections for
federal office.
Military voters will be able
to designate how they want to
receive the application, either by
mail or electronically.
Procedures must protect the
security and integrity of the
voter.
Procedures must protect the
privacy of the identity and per-
sonal data of the military mem-
ber.
States must develop a way to
transmit blank ballots to military
voters by mail and electronically.
States must develop a way
for military voters to determine
whether their ballots were
received.
Expands federal write-in
absentee ballots to include all
special, primary and runoff elec-


tions for federal office.
Absentee ballots must be
sent at least 45 days before the
election. For the Nov. 2, 2010,
general election, 45 days before
the election would be Sept. 18.
The Federal Voting
Assistance Program must main-
tain an online database that
includes state contact informa-
tion for federal elections.
The Department of Defense
must establish procedures for
collecting and delivering absen-
tee ballots of voters who are
overseas and mail them to sate-
election officials.
DoD must inform and edu-
cate service members about the
ballot procedures.
DoD must implement a sys-
tem that allows military voters to
receive a list of all candidates for
federal office.
People with questions can
reach Ausband at 452-3100, ext.

Homeless stand down today at

Joint Ambulatory Care Center


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

The Department of
Veterans Affairs Gulf
Coast Veterans Health
Care System wants to see
as many homeless veterans
as possible today (Nov. 6)
during the Homeless
Veterans Stand Down at
the Joint Ambulatory Care
Center.
While stand downs are
not new in the area, it is the
first time the event will be
held at the JACC, next to
Naval Hospital Pensacola
on Highway 98 West.
The event will run from
8 a.m.-3 p.m.
All veterans will have to
bring is some proof of vet-
eran status such as their
DD Form 214, certificate
of release or discharge
from active duty or a VA
identification card to quali-
fy for services.
Finding homeless veter-
ans is all part of President
Barak Obama's mission to
bring services to them, said
Jerron Barnett, public
affairs specialist with the
VA Gulf Coast Veterans
Health Care System.
Other VA agencies are
also holding stand downs,
including one in Mobile,
Ala., on Nov. 19, and one
that has already occurred
in Biloxi, Miss., on Nov. 4.
What makes the
Pensacola stand down
unique is the agency is the
lead agency for the event
and not just a sponsor.
Bringing the veterans to


the JACC which has
been in existence a little
more than a year will
make it easier to enroll
them for the medical needs
they are qualified to
receive, Barnett said.
The facility was built to
handle 30,000 veterans so
there is plenty of room to
meet their needs, Barnett

What: Homeless stand
down
Where: Joint Ambulatory
Care Center, Pensacola
When: Nov. 6, 8 a.m.-3
p.m.
Purpose: Provide health
care for homeless veter-
ans

said.
Seasonal flu shots will
be available at the stand
down as we as a variety of
services that are offered at
the facility.
There will also be live
music and food. It will take
on the appearance of a
health fair on the VA
grounds, Barnett said.
An all-out effort has
been made to find home-
less veterans in Escambia
and Santa Rosa counties,
estimated to be about 200,
according to Janis Wilson,
who is coordinating volun-
teer efforts for the event.
Wilson works through the
EscaRosa Coalition on the
Homeless.
Part of the reason there
are so many homeless vet-


erans is because there are
so few shelters, she said.
Some of the homeless are
living in the woods in the
area.
Efforts are being made
to find the homeless,
including leaving informa-
tion at soup kitchens, shel-
ters and places around
town where they come in
to use their facilities,
Wilson said.
They are also working
with area veterans groups.
One motorcycle club con-
nected to an American
Legion post in Navarre has
plans to drive Interstate 10
leaving off information
where some of the home-
less veterans are believed
to be staying, Wilson said.
Homeless veterans will
also have free bus rides
available to them courtesy
of the Escambia County
Area Transit if they show a
valid form of veteran sta-
tus.
The EscaRosa Coalition
on the Homeless has
arranged free transporta-
tion to the event for home-
less in Santa Rosa County.
Bamett said he's not
sure how many people the
event, which will serve
breakfast and lunch for
those attend, will attract. It
could be anywhere from
150 to 350 people, he said.
"Once we get them
here, there is a lot we can
do for them," Bamett said.
For information, Bamett
can be reached at 912-
2380 or Wilson can be
reached at 255-5570.


INavy Aam. IVIIKe IViullen, cnairman OT me joini UinleTs OT siair, ana nis wife,
Deborah, greet formerly homeless veterans at the first Soldier On award ceremo-
ny in Holyoke, Mass., on Oct. 29. Mullen was the first recipient of the award creat-
ed to recognize a person each year who works to stem homelessness among vet-
erans.

Mullen receives award for homeless efforts


By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service

HOLYOKE, Mass. The United
States has the values, wealth and support
of its leadership to end homelessness
among veterans, the top military officer
said recently as he accepted an award for
his efforts to stop what he said is a nation-
wide problem.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he was
"humbled, thrilled and grateful" to accept
the first "Soldier On" award.
"I accept this award but I really do
accept it for the two million men and
women who are serving right now, active
and reserve and guard," Mullen said.
"(They) make up the best military we've
ever had in our country."
The Soldier On award was created as
an annual recognition of a person who has
made a significant contribution to ending
homelessness among veterans.
Mullen received a bronze statuette cre-
ated by internationally acclaimed sculptor
Andrew DeVries, who will create stat-
uettes for future honorees, as well.
Homelessness among veterans has


been a challenge virtually all of Mullen's
adult life, particularly post-Vietnam, he
said. It's an issue he's focused on as the
country fights two wars.
"Several years ago when these conflicts
started, one of the things I promised
myself is I'd do everything I could to
make sure we didn't generate another
generation of homeless veterans, which
we did when I was young," Mullen told
reporters before accepting the award.
The chairman said he is grateful for all
that Jack Downing, founder of Soldier On
and all the sponsors have done to curb
homelessness among veterans in
Massachusetts.
But, he said, "the homeless veterans
challenge is one that is certainly much
broader than the local challenge here. It's
a national challenge."
The road ahead to curbing homeless-
ness among veterans is long, but Mullen
said he's confident in the leadership,
which he described as "committed to
making it work."
"It is a great, great privilege to be able
to serve with so many who care and then
to see how much difference can be made,"
he said.

NATTC Air Training Department sends mobile training to Japan
By AZC (AW/SW) Owen Brown
NATTC PAO

n early September, the Marine

Amphibious Group-36 sta- .....

tioned in Okinawa, Japan, sent

out a naval message to the


Naval Education


Training Command (NETC) request-

ing mission-essential shipboard basic

aircraft firefighting training for their

Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) prior

to their scheduled deployment.


NATTC Air Training Department and Center for Naval Engineering (CNE) Mayport personnel move into action
extinguishing flames on an aircraft simulator in Okinawa, Japan. A team of seven instructors were sent on a
mobile training assignment to provide firefighting instruction in the field to a group of deployed service members.

Due to the number of trainees and
location of the MAG, it was more
cost effective to send team members


from NATTC's Air Training
Department on NAS Pensacola and
Center for Naval Engineering (CNE)

hours of in-class instruction to 71
Marine officers and enlisted person-
nel and more than 12 hours of high-
risk aircraft firefighting evolutions


under simulated conditions with zero
safety mishaps and a 100 percent
course completion rate.
"This was a wonderful, reward-
ing experience to be able to pro-
vide needed training to the cus-
tomer's front door in order for
them to do their jobs in the
fleet and corps," said ABH1
Markel.
This marked the first
time in several years
that NATTC
deployed as a
mobile firefight-
ing training team
sent to provide mission-essential
instruction overseas. The NATTC Air
Training Department members said
that they enjoyed teaming up with
the Mayport crew to ensure MAG-36
received top-notch training needed to
deploy.

Pensacola area Marines' birthday celebrations start today


By Lt. Kelsey Lourie
MATSG-21

The Marine Corps' 234th birthday
celebration in the Pensacola area
starts tonight (Nov. 6) and lasts
through Nov. 12, with four balls rep-
resenting different groups of Marines,
including officers from the Marine
Aviation Training Support Group-21
at NASP.
USMC birthday ball is a yearly cel-
ebration of the history of the Corps,
and a time for esprit de corps among
the members of a given organization.
There will be a program that begins
with a "uniform pageant" that dis-
plays the many eras of the Marine
Corps via the uniforms worn in each
major conflict since its birth on 10
Nov 1775.
Following that is a reading of Gen
John A Lejeune's "Birthday
Message" dated Nov. 1, 1921.
The program culminates when the
oldest Marine and youngest Marine
present cut the birthday cake and take
the first bites.


A rundown of the balls in the area
are as follows:
4th MAWTSG Ball:
Who: Reserve Marines assigned to
the 4th Marine Air Wing Training
Support Group headquartered at
Naval Air Station Pensacola
When: Nov. 6 at 5 p.m.
Where: New World Landing,
Pensacola
MATSG-21 Officers Ball:
Who: Officers assigned to
MATSG-21, including those at Naval
Air Station Whiting Field and Eglin
Air Force Base.
When: Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.
Where: National Naval Aviation
Museum
MATSG-21 Student Ball:
Who: AMS-1 and AMS-2 enlisted
Marines training at NATTC
When: Nov. 10 at 5 p.m.
Where: AD hanger, NATTC
MATSG-21 Staff Ball:
Who: Staff officers, NCOs,
Marines and civilian employees
When: Nov. 12 at 5:30
Where: Renaissance Hotel, Mobile

'Frozen Chosin' Marine shares history at birthday ball


By Sgt. Jennifer Brofer
1st Marine Logistics Group

MARINE CORPS
BASE CAMP
PENDLETON, Calif. -
A retired Marine veteran
who participated in the
Chosin Reservoir
Campaign in Korea and
was promoted by Chesty
Puller, attended the 7th
Engineer Support
Battalion, 1st Marine
Logistics Group Marine
Corps birthday ball to
share history and cama-
raderie with the Marines.
After the cake-cutting
ceremony, the guest
speaker, 1st Sgt. Robert
L. Gaines, told the
Marines stories about his
20 years in the Marine
Corps, his experiences in
Korea and serving with
Chesty Puller.
Gaines was stationed
at Marine barracks in
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in
1950. One day he was
told to report to the com-
manding officer, which
just happened to be Col.
Lewis B. "Chesty"
Puller, arguably one of
the most well-known
and highly decorated
Marines to ever serve in


the Corps. Chesty Puller
promoted Gaines to cor-
poral on the spot.
"Then he said, 'I'm so
proud of you, son. Soon
you'll be a sergeant and a
staff NCO,'" recalled
Gaines. "The way he
was talking, I thought I
would end up comman-
dant of the Marine
Corps."
The Korean War
broke out on June 25,
1950, when nearly
100,000 North Korean
soldiers crossed the 38th
Parallel into South
Korea and quickly over-
whelmed the lightly-
armed South Korea
Army positions,
explained Gaines.
Gaines was assigned
to Fox Company, 2nd
Battalion, 7th Marines at
Camp Pendleton.
The 1st Marine
Division arrived at
Inchon five days after
the Inchon landing. Less
than two weeks later,
Marines liberated the
South Korean capital of
Seoul.
By November 1950,
the Chinese had rallied
thousands of troops and
"were preparing a spe-


Hetired Marine 1st bgt.

was guest of honor at the
234th Marine Corps
Birthday Ball ceremony at
Camp Pendleton Non-
commissioned Officer's
Club. Gaines was
assigned to 7th Marines
and served in six cam-
paigns in Korea, including
the Chosin Reservoir
Campaign. Photo by

Fajardo
cial fate for the
Marines," said Gaines,
80, from Plattsmouth,
Neb.
The Marines' main
task was to keep the
main supply route open
for the 8,000 Marines
with 5th and 7th Marine
Regiments, located at the


northwest comer of the
Chosin Reservoir at
Yudam-ni.
If the MSR fell to the
Chinese, the Marines
would have been cut-off
from all support and sup-
plies.
The Marines of Fox
Co. could not abandon
their fellow Marines,
said Gaines.
"The 1st Marine
Division was not at all
happy with the 78-mile
long line of supply," said
Gaines of the MSR,
which was a 78-mile trek
through the snowy
Korean mountains to get
to the Sea of Japan.
Fox Co. was posi-
tioned at Toktong Pass, a
high ridge overlooking
the MSR. It was later
dubbed "Fox Hill."
"The hill was sur-
rounded by 10,000
Chinese soldiers the
odds were 40 to 1," said
Gaines.
Gaines remembers
getting shot in the shoul-
der, but when he
assessed the damage, he
found no wound, no bul-
let nothing.
"That night in my fox-
hole, my shirt pulls out


and I reach back and the
slug falls out of my uni-
form," said Gaines of the
bullet that pierced his
uniform but not his skin.
"I carried it for a long
time."
Over the next four
days and nights of
intense fighting, 75 per-
cent of Fox Co.'s 240
Marines were killed,
wounded or captured,
said Gaines.
Temperatures dropped
to 40 degrees below
zero.
Rifles and machine
guns jammed. But the
"Frozen Chosin"
Marines successfully

"The hill was
surrounded by
10,000 Chinese
soldiers the
odds were 40 to
I,"
Retired
Marine 1 st Sgt.
Robert Gaines

fought off the Chinese,
keeping the MSR open.
"We kept it open, res-


cuing the 1st Battalion
(7th Marine Regiment),"
said Gaines.
Of the "Chosin few,"
Gaines believes there are
about 50-100 Chosin
Marines still alive today.
After the Korean War,
Gaines went on to serve
as a recruiter as well as in
embassy duty.
He retired in 1968
after his last tour with
13th Marines, 5th
Marine Division at
Camp Pendleton.
After retiring, he
taught high school
English and theater for
18 years.
He is now the owner
of an antique shop in Las
Cruces, N.M.
Forty-one years
removed from active
duty, Gaines still enjoys
attending birthday balls
and being around
Marines, passing on the
history and traditions of
the Corps.
"This will be the most
memorable Marine
Corps birthday I will
ever have ever celebrat-
ed," said Gaines.
"Happy birthday,
Marines."

November is


Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month

"Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a supreme power, and
principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations."
Luther Standing Bear, Oglala Sioux
From Bureau of Indian Affairs
U.S. Department of the Interior

hat started at the turn of the last century

as an effort to gain a day of recognition
for the significant contributions the first
Americans made to the establishment and growth of
the United States, has resulted in a whole month being
designated for that purpose.


One of the very propo-
nents of an American
Indian Day was Dr.
Arthur C. Parker, a
Seneca Indian, who was
the director of the
Museum of Arts and
Science in Rochester,
N.Y. He persuaded the
Boy Scouts ofAmerica to
set aside a day for the
"First Americans" and for
three years they adopted
such a day. In 1915, the
annual Congress of the
American Indian
Association meeting in
Lawrence, Kan., formally
approved a plan concern-
ing American Indian Day.
It directed its president,
Rev. Sherman Coolidge,
an Arapahoe, to call upon
the country to observe
such a day. Coolidge
issued a proclamation
Sept. 28, 1915, which
declared the second


Saturday of each May as
an American Indian Day
and contained the first
formal appeal for recog-
nition of Indians as citi-
zens.
The year before this
proclamation was
issued, Red Fox James, a
Blackfoot Indian, rode
horseback from state to
state seeking approval
for a day to honor
Indians. On Dec. 14,
1915, he presented the
endorsements of 24 state
governments at the
White House. There is
no record, however, of
such a national day
being proclaimed.
The first American
Indian Day in a state was
declared on the second
Saturday in May 1916
by the governor of New
York. Several states cele-
brate the fourth Friday in


September. In Illinois,
for example, legislators
enacted such a day in
1919. Presently, several
states have designated
Columbus Day as Native
American Day, but it
continues to be a day we
observe without any
recognition as a national
legal holiday.
In 1990 President
George H.W. Bush
approved a joint resolu-
tion designating
November 1990
"National American
Indian Heritage Month."
Similar proclamations,
under variants on the
name (including "Native
American Heritage
Month" and "National
American Indian and
Alaska Native Heritage
Month") have been
issued each year since
1994.


Native Americans: a long history of military participation


Prepared for DoD by CEHIP Inc.
U.S. Department of the Interior

Native Americans have participated
with distinction in United States military
actions for more than 200 years. Their
courage, determination and fighting
spirit were recognized by American mil-
itary leaders as early as the 18th century.
Many tribes were involved in the War
of 1812, and Native Americans fought
for both sides as auxiliary troops in the
Civil War. Scouting the enemy was rec-
ognized as a particular skill of the Native
American Soldier. In 1866, the U.S.
Army established its Indian Scouts to
exploit this aptitude. The scouts were
active in the American West in the late
1800s and early 1900s, accompanying
Gen. John J. Pershing's expedition to


Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa in
1916. They were deactivated in 1947
when their last member retired from the
Army in ceremonies at Fort Huachuca,
Ariz. Native Americans from Indian
Territory were also recruited by Teddy
Roosevelt's Rough Riders and saw
action in Cuba in the Spanish-American
War in 1898. As the military entered the
20th century, Native Americans had
already made a substantial contribution
through military service and were on the
brink of playing an even larger role.
Contributions in combat
It is estimated that more than 12,000
Native Americans served in the United
States military in World War I.
Approximately 600 Oklahoma Native
Americans, mostly Choctaw and
Cherokee, were assigned to the 142nd


Infantry of the 36th Texas-Oklahoma
National Guard Division. The 142nd
saw action in France and its Soldiers
were widely recognized for their contri-
butions in battle.
The outbreak of World War II brought
Native American warriors back to the
battlefield in defense of their homeland.
Although now eligible for the draft by
virtue of the Snyder Act, which gave cit-
izenship to American Indians in 1924,
conscription alone does not account for
the disproportionate number of Indians
who joined the armed services. More
than 44,000, out of a total Native
American population of less than
350,000, served with distinction
between 1941 and 1945 in both
European and Pacific theaters of war.
Native American men and women on


the home front also showed an intense
desire to serve their country, and were an
integral part of the war effort. More than
40,000 Native Americans left their reser-
vations to work in ordnance depots, fac-
tories, and other war industries. They
also invested more than $50 million in
war bonds, and contributed generously
to the Red Cross and the Army and
Navy Relief societies.
The Native Americans' strong sense
of patriotism and courage emerged once
again during the Vietnam era. More than
42,000 Native Americans, more than 90
percent of them volunteers, fought in
Vietnam. Native American contributions
in United States military combat contin-
ued in the 1980s and 1990s as they saw
duty in Grenada, Panama Somalia and
the Persian Gulf.


"I think they (Native Americans) can be made of excellent use, as scouts and light troops." Gen. George Washington, 1778

Going to be cold, all right
The Blackfeet tribe asked their chief in autumn if the
coming winter was going to be cold or not. Not really
knowing the answer, the chief replied that the members of
the village were to collect wood in order to be prepared.
Being a good leader, he then went to the nearest phone
booth and called the National Weather Service and asked,
"Is this winter to be cold?" The man on the phone
responded, "Yes, this winter is going to be quite cold." So
the chief went back to speed up his people to collect more
wood to be prepared. Two weeks later, he called the
National Weather Service again, and asked, "Are you
absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Yes, I'm absolutely sure," the weatherman replied, "the
Blackfeet tribe are collecting wood as fast as they can."

Here they come again
One popular cartoon shows a flying saucer making a
landing while a Native American watches. The caption
was "Oh, no not again."

VT4 instructor pilot wins four-day

adventure race national championship


From TraWing 6

New Hampshire-based adventure racing
teams Granite AR/Granite AR-1 are the win-
ners of the 2009 United States Adventure
Racing Association (USARA) National
Championship, held Oct. 22-24 in Pilot Point,
Texas.
VT-4 Instructor Pilot Lt. Melissa Coombes, a
member of Granite AR, helped the team take
home the national championship trophy -
something she described as a "a dream that
came true" for the team's six dedicated athletes.
More than 30 hours in length, the adventure
race combined approximately 110 miles of
mountain biking, 20-plus miles of windy and
choppy paddling and 20 miles of intense
trekking.
Collected in a particular order, the 42 check-
points (CPs) outlined the Texas course and
offered a distinct type of connect-the-dot scav-
enger hunt for the 62-plus teams that competed
in the event. With no GPS units allowed, each
team had to navigate the Texas countryside
using nothing but a compass and map.


"The two (three-person) Granite AR teams
stuck together throughout the entire event and
were at each other's aid during periods of phys-
ical exhaustion," Coombes said. The tempera-
tures reached almost 70 degrees during the day
and plummeted close to freezing during the
night, compounded with wind that topped near-
ly 20 miles per hour.
"With five inches of rain received the day
before the start, and it was a very muddy, cold
race," she recalled. "When mud is splashing in
your eyes, your body is soaked from head to
toe, and hypothermia is attempting to set in,
you need to be there every step of the way for
your teammates and friends. We're a team that
thinks as a single unit."
Crossing the finish line together in a tie, race
directors awarded both teams with the national
championship trophy. The trophy will be in
Team Granite AR's possession for the next
year, until they have to defend the title at the
2010 USARANational Championships, sched-
uled to be held in Pennsylvania.

2010 Scholarships


for Military Children


Program now open


By Tammy L. Moody
DeCA Marketing and Mass Communication Specialist

FORT LEE, Va. The holidays are fast approaching, and they can be
a fun family time as children away at college come home, and other stu-
dents get their holiday break. It's also a time for students and parents to
apply for the 2010 Scholarships for Military Children Program that opens
in November.
Scholarship applications are currently available in commissaries world-
wide and online through a link at https://www.commissaries.com and
directly at http://www.militaryscholarorg. Since the program began in
2000, it has awarded $7.3 million in scholarships to almost 5,000 children
of service members.
The scholarship kickoff coincides with National Military Family
Month, and is an example of commissaries supporting their local commu-
nities by helping to improve the quality of life for military families, said
Defense Commissary Agency Director and CEO Philip E. Sakowitz Jr.
"Being part of something that makes higher education more affordable
for military families is thrilling, as we feel it makes a better future possi-
ble for their children," he said. "The program awards $1,500 scholarships
to well-rounded, accomplished service members' children, enabling these
families to save some on their children's tuition."
Only dependent, unmarried children, younger than age 21 (age 23 if
enrolled as a full- time student at a college or university) of active duty per-
sonnel, Reserve, Guard and retired military members, survivors of service
members who died while on active duty, or survivors of individuals who
died while receiving retired pay from the military may apply for a schol-
arship. Eligibility is determined using DEERS, the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System database. Applicants should ensure that they,
as well as their sponsor, are enrolled in the DEERS database and have a
current ID card. The applicant must be planning to attend, or already be
attending, an accredited college or university full time in the fall of 2010,
or be enrolled in a program of studies designed to transfer directly into a
four-year program.
Applicants should prepare to submit an essay on the following topic:
"You can travel back in time; however, you cannot change events. What
point in history would you visit and why?" Applications must be turned in
to a commissary by close of business Feb. 17. At least one scholarship will
be awarded at every commissary location with qualified applicants.
The scholarships program is administered by Fisher House
Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to service
members and their families. Scholarship Managers, a national, nonprofit,
scholarship management services organization, manages and awards the
scholarships. Commissary vendors, manufacturers, brokers, suppliers and
the general public donate money to the program, and every dollar donat-
ed goes directly to funding the scholarships.

bubble wrap or Styrofoam. Pack tightly to
avoid shifting.
Package food items like cookies,
fudge, candies, etc. securely in leak-proof
containers.
Use pressure-sensitive or nylon-rein-
forced packing tape.
Do not use wrapping paper, string,
masking tap, or cellophane tape outside
the package.
Print your return address and the serv-
ice member's complete name, without
rank, followed by unit and APO or FPO
delivery address on one side only of the
package.
Place a return address label inside the
package.
Remove batteries from toys and appli-
ances. Wrap and place them next to the

firmation service for reassurance of pack-
age delivery.

From Alice Crann Good
Pensacola Junior College

The Pensacola
Junior College Lyceum
Series presents "The
Sound of Music" for
two weekends and
singer Elisabeth von
Trapp for a separate
mid-week concert.
"The Sound of
Music" runs 7:30 p.m.,
Nov. 13-14 and Nov.
19-21, and 2:30 p.m.
Nov. 15 and 22, at the
Ashmore Fine Arts
Auditorium, Bldg. 8,
on the Pensacola cam-
pus.
Elisabeth von Trapp
performs 7:30 p.m.,
Nov. 18, at the
Ashmore.


The Tony award-
winning musical starts
with Maria- a sweet
young postulant whose
love of freedom makes
it obvious to her superi-
ors that she is not suit-
ed for convent life.
Thus, she is sent off
to be the governess to
Capt. von Trapp's
seven troublesome
children. Due to their
mutual love of music,
Maria becomes friends
with the children.
Even the strict cap-
tain begins to admire
her and an adventure
ensues.
Born and raised in
Vermont, Elisabeth von
Trapp is the grand-
daughter of the leg-


Elisabetn von Trapp
endary Maria and
Baron von Trapp,
whose story inspired

Active duty and vets eat free for Veterans Day


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer
Two area restaurants are offer-
ing free meals to veterans and
active-duty military on or around
Veterans Day his year.
Applebee's Neighborhood
Grill & Bar restaurants are offer-
ing free meals on Veterans Day,
Nov. 11, at both locations in
Pensacola on Bayou Boulevard
and East 9 Mile Road.
Applebee's launched a pilot
program last year and because of
the response are providing the
meals throughout the country this
year.
Pensacola was not part of the
pilot program, but decided to
offer the free meals anyway -
unannounced. About 750 people
showed up last year without pub-
licity, said Eddie Hackett, manag-
er at the Bayou Boulevard restau-


rant.
He's expecting a lot more this
year. "We are treating it like a
Mother's Day," Hackett said.
The offer will be available the
entire day. Applebee's is open
from 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
In order to receive a free meals
veterans and active-duty military
must show proof of current or for-
mer military service.
Proof of service includes U.S.
uniform services identification
card, U.S. uniform services
retired identification card, current
leave and earnings statement, vet-
erans organization card, photo-
graph in uniform or wearing uni-
form.
For additional details, visit:
www. applebees. com/vetsday.
Golden Corral is holding its
ninth annual military appreciation
thank you dinner in Pensacola,


Nov. 16 from 5-9 p.m.
"There's always a big crowd,"
said Jerry Bulovas, manager at
the Golden Corral on Langley
Avenue.
Last year there were lines and
about $10,000 in free dinners
were given away.
The free dinner is avaliable to
any person who has ever served
in the United States military,
including the National Guard and
reserves. That includes veterans,
retirees and those currently serv-
ing.
To date, Golden Corral restau-
rants have provided more than 2.2
million free meals nationwide
and contributed more than $3.3
million to the Disabled American
Veterans organization.
Note: No official endorsement
of these commercial entities by
the Navy is implied or inferred.

From Rod Duren NHP PAODuring the weekend of Nov. 20-22, it will be necessary for Naval Hospital Pensacola to temporarily close, including all services for patients, while new emergency generators begin a phased-in installation. There will be no power available within the facility during this process. Beginning Friday, Nov. 20, at 11 a.m., the hospital will cease all clinical operations including pharmacy. The main gate to the facility will be closed to all incoming traffic at noon. Any remaining inpatients at the facility will be transferred to other nearby medical facilities. Sick call and non-emergency outpatient care for military and enrolled beneficiaries will be available on a walk-in basis at the branch health clinic at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) onboard NAS Pensacola. Hours of operation for these services are Friday, noon to 7 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The NATTC clinic is located next to the Portside Complex on East Avenue directly behind the main administration and galley facilities of NATTC. For additional information or directions call 452-8970, ext. 123. All naval hospital customers who may need urgent or emergency care, during the Nov. 20-22 shutdown, should go to the closest hospital emergency room or urgent care clinic. The Pharmacy Refill Center at the NEX Mall will maintain its regular schedule on Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Because of the weekend closure, the naval hospital will cease providing labor and delivery services as of 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18. All maternity patients, 36 weeks gestation or more, will be contacted by Navy hospital personnel with instructions on where to report for care in the event of labor or other health care needs. All naval hospital services will resume Monday morning, Nov. 23, at 7 a.m. VISIT GOSPORT ONLINE: www.gosportpensacola.com Vol. 73, No. 44 November 6, 2009Published by the Ballinger Publishing, a private firm in no way connected with the Department of the Navy.

File photo by Scott HallfordJohn Appleyard to be recognized at Veterans Day ceremony in PensacolaBy Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterJohn Appleyard, Pensacola businessman and historian, will be recognized during the Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11 in Pensacola for the contributions he has made for veterans causes. He was especially helpful, along with Vince Whibbs, in raising the $475,000 needed for the World War II memorial at Veterans Memorial Park, said Retired Capt. John E. Pritchard of the Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park Foundation. And he was part of the organizing effort for the first honor flight to Washington D.C. for World War II veterans. Appleyard, 86, is a World War II veteran himself who went on to found the John Appleyard Agency in Pensacola with his wife, Eleanor. He served as chief executive officer until 1993 when his son, Dick, took over. In addition to Appleyard, 12 World War II veterans will be singled out during the ceremony, which will follow the Veterans Day parade that starts at 9 a.m. The parade will begin at the intersection of South Spring and Main streets and proceed down Main Street to the Veterans Memorial Park.See Veterans Day on page 2 Julie Clark in the Chevron T-34 Mentor performs in a swirl of colored smoke at the Night Air Show in 2008. File photo by Tom CallahanSpike in motorcycle accidents sends warning to NASP ridersBy Mike O’Connor Gosport Associate EditorA recent increase in nationwide motorcyclerelated fatalities among service members has prompted Navy and base officials to remind riders of their risks and urge safe riding practices. Recently a significant number of Sailors have been seriously injured or have died in private motor vehicle (PMV) and motorcycle mishaps, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO), wrote in a memo last week. In one month we have lost 31 percent of the number of Sailors we lost in all of FY 2009. This is a tragedy for our service, constitutes a significant impediment to Navy readiness, and requires that we refocus our efforts at every level of command. NAS Pensacola Safety Department Director Jon Winters confirmed the VCNOs numbers. In the first 17 days of October, we have had four Marines and four Sailors killed in motor vehicle accidents. Another one is in critical condition. Five of the service members lost were on motorcycles, so was the injured service member. VCNO has directed we take a look at our traffic safety programs and reemphasize them to head this (trend) off. What weve done is try to increase the awareness and get the message out to refocus on these programs. The Navy and Marine fatalities took place Oct. 1-17 in North Carolina, Virginia, Hawaii, Massachusetts and California. Jay Harrison, NASP Traffic Safety Program manager, has worked with Winters to develop a plan to promote safe rid-See Ride safe on page 2Air show brings changes this yearBy Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterThe countdown to the 2009 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show at NAS Pensacola is nearing completion. For veteran air show goers, the two-day event on Nov. 13-14 will have some familiar sights and sounds and some changes as well. One of the biggest changes this year is the night show with all its performers, pyrotechnics and fireworks will be on Saturday (Nov. 14), instead of Friday. Organizers hope moving to a weekend will allow more people to attend the event and encourage those who come on Saturday to stick around for a few more hours. This is a perfect family event, concluding early enough for small children, and the fireworks will be the best seen in the local area this year, Shanaghan said. We were competing with high school football on Friday nights, he said. And with the show ending at 6:30 p.m., people on Friday were not able to get from work to home to get the family and thenSee Air show on page 2Story of bases history told in bronze plaques Story, photo by Mike O’Connor Gosport Associate EditorFrom a storms destruction has come a commitment cast in bronze to preserve NAS Pensacolas history for future generations to see. As part of NAS Pensacolas post-Hurricane Ivan Historic Mitigation and Landscape Repairs project, a series of bronze plaques which commemorate people, places, events and buildings have been placed in scenic and historic locations on base. Twenty-eight plaques out of 30 total have been placed by contractor ValleyCrest Landscaping Development in the projects four pedestrian plazas along NASPs waterfront areas; the last two will be in place by Nov. 10. A date has not yet been set for the official dedication. There was a concern that along with the historic buildings that were damaged beyond repair during Ivan, that history not be lost along with the actual structure, said Bryan Moeller, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southeast, who worked on the project. The Historic Mitigation and Landscape Repairs project is a multi-phased collaborative effort involving state and base officials during the recovery efforts following 2004s Hurricane Ivan. A seawall walkway running the length of Radford Boulevard connects the projects west plaza to its main plaza. Ten plaques are located in the main plaza; the north and west plazas have six each. The seawall walkway features an additional eight plaques. On each plaque, a photo or graphic is etched in the bronzeSee Base history on page 2

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

Ride safe from page 1ing locally. Weve sent out a message to all department heads with a checklist from the Naval Safety Center to go over their people before weekend travel, Harrison said. It includes both privately owned vehicles (POVs) and motorcycles. And our traffic safety program here is award-winning; were teaching two basic rider courses, an experienced rider course and a military sport bike rider course every week. NAS Pensacola was recently named a winner in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF)s Outstanding Military Base category for its 2008 awards. Each year, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation acknowledges outstanding achievement and excellence in rider education and training, honoring agencies, organizations and individuals who enhance motorcycle safety. This is a spike, but its not something new, Winters noted. (Motorcycle safety) is something that we always have to keep our focus on its one of our biggest concerns. Winters also emphasized the twin dangers of both alcohol and latenight driving. If you do drink and drive, youre putting not only yourself but other people at risk as well, he said. While some people are worried about a DUI, thats nothing compared to crippling or killing yourself and you could cripple or kill somebody else that did not make the decision to drink and drive. Additionally, if you drive late at night youre putting yourself at greater risk, even if you are sober. Unfortunately we see that through statistics you are at greater risk of being killed by a drunk driver. Riders can register at www.navymotorcyclerider.com for the NASP safety department basic, experienced, and military sport bike rider courses.Air show from page 1out to the show in time. The hour-long Blues show on Saturday will finish about 3 p.m., and the night show will start an hour later with the fireworks and wall of fire finishing at 6:30 p.m. In between the day and night show, the New Orleans Navy Band Express rock band will be performing. Organizers are already watching the weather on their computers. We all start looking at the weather a week out as the forecasts have a bit more accuracy because thats one thing we cannot control, said MWR Director Kerry Shanaghan earlier this week. With more than 175,000 expected to attend the two-day show, the weather can be key. Attendees will also notice a change in the way cars are parked on the base. A new Air Force hangar now under construction is in the area on the south ramp where cars had been parked for past shows. People will be directed to outlying parking lots around the base and taken by shuttle to the show. The free shuttle will run continuously throughout the show. People can enter the base at either the front or back gate. And parking spaces around Sherman Field will probably fill up first. Typically, the crowds start increasing about noon in time for the Blues show that starts about 2 p.m. Fat Albert will make its last jet assisted take-off (JATO) with the help of solid fuel rockets at the Saturday daytime performance. The gates open at 8 a.m., with shows starting at 9:30 a.m. There are numerous static displays, including current tactical aircraft and a B-52. It will be the best lineup weve had in quite some time, Shanaghan said. Also included will be a C-130 Hurricane Hunter for people to see. Organizers will take over the tarmac on Nov. 10 and start putting up everything from barricades and tents to a kids zone with inflatables. Up to that point, months of preparing have been going on for the Morale Welfare and Recreation Department and Air Operations at NASP. Plans start in December at the International Council of Air Shows convention where officials with MWR and Air Ops start looking at acts, said Stephanie Oram, air show coordinator for Air Ops. Ultimately, MWR picks the civilian acts and Air Ops picks the military acts for the show. There is a tremendous amount of work that goes on behind the scenes as far as setup is concerned, Shanaghan said. From security, the fire department, safety, facility, MWR and Air Ops, pretty much everyone on the base contributes to this show each year. Like all special events, hundreds of volunteers help put up and tear down everything that is needed. Marines and Sailors pitch in before, during and after everyone goes home. Without the volunteers this air show probably wouldnt happen, Shanaghan said. If it did, it wouldnt be in the same way, shape or fashion that we currently do it. During the show, volunteers are used to work the concession booths and other areas around the show. While not paid directly, volunteers earn money for their command, based on concession sales. They are actually customer service representatives for us to the general public, Shanaghan said. Their role is very important. The military performances will feature appearances by the F-16 Viper E Demo Team, the F/A 18F Super Hornet and F-15 Strike Eagles. New civilian acts this year include Patty Wagstaff, Aerostars, Kent Pietsch and Geico Skytypers. People are reminded not to bring coolers or pets, but chairs or blankets and sunscreen are encouraged. There will be plenty of food and beverages at the show with something for everyone, Shanaghan said.Base history from page 1along with text that illustrates the remembrance, turning a walk along the seawall into a walk through the bases past.

That was one of the messages delivered to more than 500 business leaders and military guests at the annual Combined Rotary Military Appreciation Luncheon by Rear Adm. Joseph Kilkenny, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). The event was held Nov. 2 at the New World Landing restaurant in Pensacola. Addressing the audience, Kilkenny explained the importance of free seas to Americas commerce and security. Today, the economies of Pensacola, and indeed the entire United States, are tied to the seas. Because the maritime domain the worlds oceans, seas, bays, estuaries, islands, coastal areas, littorals and the airspace above them supports 90 percent of the worlds trade, it carries the lifeblood of the global system that links every country on earth. It links Pensacola to the world. Kilkenny also gave the audience a snapshot of how the military stationed in Pensacola affects the community. In fiscal year 2008 more than 4,000 uniformed staff at the local training commands provided training for more than 14,000 military students. These military members come from every state in the nation, as well as many of our allied nations. Citing information from a 2008 economic impact report compiled by NASP, Kilkenny told the business leaders the gross salaries of the uniformed military staff and students exceeded $710 million. For the more than 4,000 civilian employees at area military commands, their salaries exceed $210 million. According to Kilkenny, the military impact on the local community can be measured in more than dollars. Every command has active Community Outreach programs that touch the lives of the elderly, the homeless and others, Kilkenny said. Working with the various support organizations and schools in the area, our commands logged more 119,000 volunteer hours last year. This too is the legacy of the military in Pensacola. Rear Adm. Joseph Kilkenny John Appleyard Fall Festival fun at NASP CDC ... The Child Development Center at NAS Pensacola hosted a Fall Festival for children and parents Oct. 30. Many families joined in the activities which included face painting; hat decoration; sand and spin art; a fishing booth, a bounce house and a haunted house.

GOSPORT November 6, 2009PAGE3 By Lt. Corey D. Bean Legal Assistance AttorneyImagine getting mail from your landlord about a month after moving out of your apartment. You assume the envelope contains your refunded security deposit. Instead it contains a bill for $3,552.01 and a notice that your account will be turned over to a collection agency if not settled in 30 days. While a legal assistance attorney may be able to help you obtain some relief (depending on the facts of the case), this situation was probably avoidable. Fees for repairs, early termination and other lease violations can add up quickly and seem disproportionate to any damage suffered by the landlord. The following is my best advice for avoiding having to write a big check after terminating a lease. Read. The lease documents the agreement between you and your landlord. When you sign it you agree to it whether you read it or not because you are presumed to have read it. Most apartment complexes and property management companies use standard forms with blanks filled in. When you read through your lease make sure that all blanks are filled in and that the numbers match previous representations of the landlord. For instance, the amount of your monthly rent, length of the lease, due date for rent payments, amount of late fees and notice for termination should all be filled in. An individual landlord/owner might not use a form lease. You still need to read the lease carefully and make sure you understand all terms, especially because some terms may be unconventional. Negotiate. No matter who you rent from, you can still propose changes to any lease contract. The worst the landlord can do is refuse to change a term you do not like in which case you are no worse off than before you asked. If the terms are too onerous for you to accept, look elsewhere for housing. Especially in a depressed housing market, landlords may work harder to compete for your business. Be sure that all of your negotiations are in good faith. Sneaking terms into a lease may give your landlord the option to void the contract. Even if your landlord does not void your lease, your landlord may now be looking for ways to add violations or fees. Inspect. Before you accept the house or apartment, walk through it. What was promised must be delivered, and you do not need to accept anything less. For instance, if you were promised new appliances and there is an avocado green refrigerator from 1974 in the kitchen, you can refuse to accept the lease under the original terms or at all. Similarly, if the premises are filthy or infested, you do not have to accept them. Document. Take pictures or a video walkthrough of pre-existing damage in your house or apartment and note it on the move-in check list that your landlord should give you. Refuse to sign a lease unless the landlord agrees to document pre-existing damage. Save the pictures and the move-in check list. Comply. Pay rent on time to avoid late fees. Also comply with other terms in the lease. If you are going to change roommates, most leases require an addendum since you cannot sublease without the landlords approval of the new resident. This requirement is understandable from the landlords point of view since they have an interest in who is living on the premises. If you move out and at least one roommate stays behind, also make sure to get a lease addendum. Without the addendum you can and will be held liable for damages that may occur after you are no longer living on the premises. Notify. Make sure to give advanced notice before your move-out date to avoid early termination fees or having to pay more rent than necessary. Although the Service Members Civil Relief Act provides some protection for civilians or reservists receiving orders to active duty and for active-duty personnel receiving PCS orders or orders to deploy for at least 90 days, delay in notifying your landlord may result in more cash in your landlords pocket and less cash in yours. Notice under SCRA or military clause . The SCRA (and most military clauses in a residential lease simply parrot the language of the SCRA) does not require that your landlord terminate your lease 30 days after being properly notified of your orders and move. It requires that the lease be terminated 30 days after the next rental payment is due. So, if you give notice to move on Oct. 2, and will vacate the premises on Oct. 3, even under the SCRA the landlord can hold you liable for all of October and November rent. You gave notice on Oct. 2 after rent was due on Oct. 1. The next rental payment is due Nov. 1. Thirty days after Nov. 1 is Nov. 30, which will be the effective termination date of the lease (assuming the lease would not have terminated before then under its original terms). Notice under lease termination clause. Your lease termination clause may indicate that the lease will automatically renew unless notice of intent to terminate is given 30 or possibly 60 days prior to the end of the lease. This means if your lease says 60 days notice is required and you give notice 45 days before the end of your lease, the landlord can hold you liable for an additional month of rent. Worse yet, if you in fact move out prior to the end of the lease, the landlord can invoke early lease termination clauses for liquidated damages and any concessions or discounts given to you during the terms of your lease. Lets say you rent a place for $900 a month after a 10 percent discount. You move out with insufficient notice at 11and-a-half months of a 12-month lease. You could be hit with an extra months rent under the automatic renewal clause ($1,000 since the discount would not apply to the automatic renewal), liquidated damages ($850 usually 85 percent of one months rent) and charge back of the discount under an early termination clause ($1,200). While a liquidated damages clause may be dubious in a residential lease in most states and one has to ask how a lease can automatically renew and terminate early at the same time it is better to plan ahead and give proper notice than it is to contest the issue after the landlord already feels aggrieved. Re-inspect. Do a walk though with your landlord after moving out. The landlord should give you the chance to fix any damage yourself before hiring a contractor to fix it and sending you the bill. But the landlord can only give you this option if you make yourself available. Small things like nail holes in walls and broken internal door knobs can be relatively inexpensive to repair yourself, but hiring someone to fix them will give you sticker shock. Also most landlords will charge disposal fees for items left in an apartment after the lease terminates such as $200 to remove a sofa and $25 to remove each bag of trash. Following these steps during the lease is minimally cumbersome and may save substantial headaches and cash upon termination. Contact your local legal assistance office with any questions regarding your residential lease. At NASP, the legal office can be reached at 452-3734.

By Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterThe Department of Veterans Affairs Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System wants to see as many homeless veterans as possible today (Nov. 6) during the Homeless Veterans Stand Down at the Joint Ambulatory Care Center. While stand downs are not new in the area, it is the first time the event will be held at the JACC, next to Naval Hospital Pensacola on Highway 98 West. The event will run from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. All veterans will have to bring is some proof of veteran status such as their DD Form 214, certificate of release or discharge from active duty or a VA identification card to qualify for services. Finding homeless veterans is all part of President Barak Obamas mission to bring services to them, said Jerron Barnett, public affairs specialist with the VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System. Other VA agencies are also holding stand downs, including one in Mobile, Ala., on Nov. 19, and one that has already occurred in Biloxi, Miss., on Nov. 4. What makes the Pensacola stand down unique is the agency is the lead agency for the event and not just a sponsor. Bringing the veterans to the JACC which has been in existence a little more than a year will make it easier to enroll them for the medical needs they are qualified to receive, Barnett said. The facility was built to handle 30,000 veterans so there is plenty of room to meet their needs, Barnett said. Seasonal flu shots will be available at the stand down as we as a variety of services that are offered at the facility. There will also be live music and food. It will take on the appearance of a health fair on the VA grounds, Barnett said. An all-out effort has been made to find homeless veterans in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, estimated to be about 200, according to Janis Wilson, who is coordinating volunteer efforts for the event. Wilson works through the EscaRosa Coalition on the Homeless. Part of the reason there are so many homeless veterans is because there are so few shelters, she said. Some of the homeless are living in the woods in the area. Efforts are being made to find the homeless, including leaving information at soup kitchens, shelters and places around town where they come in to use their facilities, Wilson said. They are also working with area veterans groups. One motorcycle club connected to an American Legion post in Navarre has plans to drive Interstate 10 leaving off information where some of the homeless veterans are believed to be staying, Wilson said. Homeless veterans will also have free bus rides available to them courtesy of the Escambia County Area Transit if they show a valid form of veteran status. The EscaRosa Coalition on the Homeless has arranged free transportation to the event for homeless in Santa Rosa County. Barnett said hes not sure how many people the event, which will serve breakfast and lunch for those attend, will attract. It could be anywhere from 150 to 350 people, he said. Once we get them here, there is a lot we can do for them, Barnett said. For information, Barnett can be reached at 9122380 or Wilson can be reached at 255-5570.PAGE GOSPORT 4 November 6, 2009 Homeless stand down today at Joint Ambulatory Care Center Voting changes will make it easier for service members to voteBy Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterThe Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act recently signed by President Barack Obama will make voting in federal elections more streamlined for service members, especially those serving overseas. It will make it a lot easier to just jump on your computer and send your request for the absentee ballot back to you, and all you have to do is fill it out and send it back in the mail, said Lt. Cheryl Ausband, who is serving as the voting assistance officer for Naval Air Station Pensacola. Ausband is also the judge advocate for NASP, including Corry Station and Saufley Field, and for NAS Whiting Field and Navy facilities in Panama City. Previously, voting assistance officers had to provide the physical address where military members could request an absentee ballot. Now all we have to do is say go to a Web site, Ausband said. At Naval Air Station Pensacola, plans are already underway to implement the bill. My job is to get the word out and make sure everybody knows where the information is, Ausband said. I think the biggest effect on voting is the fact that its doing away with all the extra requirements, especially for those overseas, Ausband said. That includes the procedural requirements such as having the document notarized. It gives you that flexibility to still have your vote be counted, she said. The bill also allows military members to track the status of their ballot requests. Before you sent off your request in the mail and never knew if it made it to somebody or if you were actually going to get a ballot back, Ausband said. With this you can actually know whats going on and whats coming. Key aspects of the bill include the following: States must establish a procedure that allows military voters to request voter registration applications and absentee ballot applications by mail or electronically for general, special, primary and runoff elections for federal office. Military voters will be able to designate how they want to receive the application, either by mail or electronically. Procedures must protect the security and integrity of the voter. Procedures must protect the privacy of the identity and personal data of the military member. States must develop a way to transmit blank ballots to military voters by mail and electronically. States must develop a way for military voters to determine whether their ballots were received. Expands federal write-in absentee ballots to include all special, primary and runoff elections for federal office. Absentee ballots must be sent at least 45 days before the election. For the Nov. 2, 2010, general election, 45 days before the election would be Sept. 18. The Federal Voting Assistance Program must maintain an online database that includes state contact information for federal elections. The Department of Defense must establish procedures for collecting and delivering absentee ballots of voters who are overseas and mail them to sateelection officials. DoD must inform and educate service members about the ballot procedures. DoD must implement a system that allows military voters to receive a list of all candidates for federal office. People with questions can reach Ausband at 452-3100, ext. 1351.Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his wife, Deborah, greet formerly homeless veterans at the first Soldier On award ceremony in Holyoke, Mass., on Oct. 29. Mullen was the first recipient of the award created to recognize a person each year who works to stem homelessness among veterans. By Samantha L. Quigley American Forces Press ServiceHOLYOKE, Mass. The United States has the values, wealth and support of its leadership to end homelessness among veterans, the top military officer said recently as he accepted an award for his efforts to stop what he said is a nationwide problem. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he was humbled, thrilled and grateful to accept the first Soldier On award. I accept this award but I really do accept it for the two million men and women who are serving right now, active and reserve and guard, Mullen said. (They) make up the best military weve ever had in our country. The Soldier On award was created as an annual recognition of a person who has made a significant contribution to ending homelessness among veterans. Mullen received a bronze statuette created by internationally acclaimed sculptor Andrew DeVries, who will create statuettes for future honorees, as well. Homelessness among veterans has been a challenge virtually all of Mullens adult life, particularly post-Vietnam, he said. Its an issue hes focused on as the country fights two wars. Several years ago when these conflicts started, one of the things I promised myself is Id do everything I could to make sure we didnt generate another generation of homeless veterans, which we did when I was young, Mullen told reporters before accepting the award. The chairman said he is grateful for all that Jack Downing, founder of Soldier On and all the sponsors have done to curb homelessness among veterans in Massachusetts. But, he said, the homeless veterans challenge is one that is certainly much broader than the local challenge here. Its a national challenge. The road ahead to curbing homelessness among veterans is long, but Mullen said hes confident in the leadership, which he described as committed to making it work. It is a great, great privilege to be able to serve with so many who care and then to see how much difference can be made, he said. Mullen receives award for homeless efforts Lt. Cheryl Ausband What: Homeless stand down Where: Joint Ambulatory Care Center, Pensacola When: Nov. 6, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Purpose: Provide health care for homeless veterans

GOSPORT November 6, 2009PAGE5NATTC Air Training Department sends mobile training to JapanDue to the number of trainees and location of the MAG, it was more cost effective to send team members from NATTCs Air Training Department on NAS Pensacola and Center for Naval Engineering (CNE) Mayport, Fla., over to Okinawa, said Commanding Officer Capt. Kent Miller. Mobile training is a great way to save precious time and dollars when forward deployed. NATTC Air Training Department and CNE Mayport sprung into action sending a team of seven instructors to Okinawa to accomplish this task. The team consisted of ABHC James Fillmore, ABHC Ruben Martinez, DCC Christopher Tinkle, ABH1 Antonio Wright, ABH1 John Markel, DC1 David Stuart and ABH2 Philip Mitcham. The team provided 90 hours of in-class instruction to 71 Marine officers and enlisted personnel and more than 12 hours of highrisk aircraft firefighting evolutions under simulated conditions with zero safety mishaps and a 100 percent course completion rate. This was a wonderful, rewarding experience to be able to provide needed training to the customers front door in order for them to do their jobs in the fleet and corps, said ABH1 Markel. This marked the first time in several years that NATTC deployed as a mobile firefighting training team sent to provide mission-essential instruction overseas. The NATTC Air Training Department members said that they enjoyed teaming up with the Mayport crew to ensure MAG-36 received top-notch training needed to deploy.

By Sgt. Jennifer Brofer 1st Marine Logistics GroupMARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. A retired Marine veteran who participated in the Chosin Reservoir Campaign in Korea and was promoted by Chesty Puller, attended the 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group Marine Corps birthday ball to share history and camaraderie with the Marines. After the cake-cutting ceremony, the guest speaker, 1st Sgt. Robert L. Gaines, told the Marines stories about his 20 years in the Marine Corps, his experiences in Korea and serving with Chesty Puller. Gaines was stationed at Marine barracks in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1950. One day he was told to report to the commanding officer, which just happened to be Col. Lewis B. Chesty Puller, arguably one of the most well-known and highly decorated Marines to ever serve in the Corps. Chesty Puller promoted Gaines to corporal on the spot. Then he said, I'm so proud of you, son. Soon youll be a sergeant and a staff NCO, recalled Gaines. The way he was talking, I thought I would end up commandant of the Marine Corps. The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, when nearly 100,000 North Korean soldiers crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea and quickly overwhelmed the lightlyarmed South Korea Army positions, explained Gaines. Gaines was assigned to Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Camp Pendleton. The 1st Marine Division arrived at Inchon five days after the Inchon landing. Less than two weeks later, Marines liberated the South Korean capital of Seoul. By November 1950, the Chinese had rallied thousands of troops and were preparing a special fate for the Marines, said Gaines, 80, from Plattsmouth, Neb. The Marines main task was to keep the main supply route open for the 8,000 Marines with 5th and 7th Marine Regiments, located at the northwest corner of the Chosin Reservoir at Yudam-ni. If the MSR fell to the Chinese, the Marines would have been cut-off from all support and supplies. The Marines of Fox Co. could not abandon their fellow Marines, said Gaines. The 1st Marine Division was not at all happy with the 78-mile long line of supply, said Gaines of the MSR, which was a 78-mile trek through the snowy Korean mountains to get to the Sea of Japan. Fox Co. was positioned at Toktong Pass, a high ridge overlooking the MSR. It was later dubbed Fox Hill. The hill was surrounded by 10,000 Chinese soldiers the odds were 40 to 1, said Gaines. Gaines remembers getting shot in the shoulder, but when he assessed the damage, he found no wound, no bullet nothing. That night in my foxhole, my shirt pulls out and I reach back and the slug falls out of my uniform, said Gaines of the bullet that pierced his uniform but not his skin. I carried it for a long time. Over the next four days and nights of intense fighting, 75 percent of Fox Co.s 240 Marines were killed, wounded or captured, said Gaines. Temperatures dropped to 40 degrees below zero. Rifles and machine guns jammed. But the Frozen Chosin Marines successfully fought off the Chinese, keeping the MSR open. We kept it open, rescuing the 1st Battalion (7th Marine Regiment), said Gaines. Of the Chosin few, Gaines believes there are about 50-100 Chosin Marines still alive today. After the Korean War, Gaines went on to serve as a recruiter as well as in embassy duty. He retired in 1968 after his last tour with 13th Marines, 5th Marine Division at Camp Pendleton. After retiring, he taught high school English and theater for 18 years. He is now the owner of an antique shop in Las Cruces, N.M. Forty-one years removed from active duty, Gaines still enjoys attending birthday balls and being around Marines, passing on the history and traditions of the Corps. This will be the most memorable Marine Corps birthday I will ever have ever celebrated, said Gaines. Happy birthday, Marines.PAGE GOSPORT 6 November 6, 2009 ‘Frozen Chosin’ Marine shares history at birthday ball Pensacola area Marines’ birthday celebrations start todayMATSG-21 Marines enjoyed themselves at last year’s ball at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

Not really knowing the answer, the chief replied that the members of the village were to collect wood in order to be prepared. Being a good leader, he then went to the nearest phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is this winter to be cold?” The man on the phone responded, “Yes, this winter is going to be quite cold.” So the chief went back to speed up his people to collect more wood to be prepared. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again, and asked, “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?” “Yes, I’m absolutely sure,” the weatherman replied, “the Blackfeet tribe are collecting wood as fast as they can.”Here they come againOne popular cartoon shows a flying saucer making a landing while a Native American watches. The caption was “Oh, no —not again.”Color Me ‘Shield’Jokes & Groaners Gosling GamesOne of the very proponents of an American Indian Day was Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian, who was the director of the Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, N.Y. He persuaded the Boy Scouts of America to set aside a day for the First Americans and for three years they adopted such a day. In 1915, the annual Congress of the American Indian Association meeting in Lawrence, Kan., formally approved a plan concerning American Indian Day. It directed its president, Rev. Sherman Coolidge, an Arapahoe, to call upon the country to observe such a day. Coolidge issued a proclamation Sept. 28, 1915, which declared the second Saturday of each May as an American Indian Day and contained the first formal appeal for recognition of Indians as citizens. The year before this proclamation was issued, Red Fox James, a Blackfoot Indian, rode horseback from state to state seeking approval for a day to honor Indians. On Dec. 14, 1915, he presented the endorsements of 24 state governments at the White House. There is no record, however, of such a national day being proclaimed. The first American Indian Day in a state was declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by the governor of New York. Several states celebrate the fourth Friday in September. In Illinois, for example, legislators enacted such a day in 1919. Presently, several states have designated Columbus Day as Native American Day, but it continues to be a day we observe without any recognition as a national legal holiday. In 1990 President George H.W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 National American Indian Heritage Month. Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including Native American Heritage Month and National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month) have been issued each year since 1994.Native American and Alaska Native Heritage MonthARAPAHO BLACKFOOT CHEROKEE CHOCTAW CROW HOPI NAVAHO SEMINOLE SIOUX ZUNIZ T V E V X M O B J O G Q Q U S P S H L E G L F U H U Z Q X P G O I U O A U C P A P Z S J P P H C O C N M O S P I N U Z I J M L K U N I Q T A T T Y A S U G F E H X F M V R G X W Z T S O T X X Z F C E A V A C P A O D X Z Q G E P P S T Z D F T C S P N A V C V B C C C M J S R A T L C F K F O O Q U F Q P O T X Y X L I H J T U B I T L W G H F D E C T P B Q D H L B H T S P X O P K M C N K I E L D X H E E K O R E H C R X L N A V A H O Q F C S Q C Y B Z From Bureau of Indian Affairs U.S. Department of the InteriorWhat started at the turn of the last century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the United States, has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose. “Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a supreme power, and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations.” – Luther Standing Bear, Oglala Sioux Native Americans: a long history of military participationPrepared for DoD by CEHIP Inc. U.S. Department of the InteriorNative Americans have participated with distinction in United States military actions for more than 200 years. Their courage, determination and fighting spirit were recognized by American military leaders as early as the 18th century. Many tribes were involved in the War of 1812, and Native Americans fought for both sides as auxiliary troops in the Civil War. Scouting the enemy was recognized as a particular skill of the Native American Soldier. In 1866, the U.S. Army established its Indian Scouts to exploit this aptitude. The scouts were active in the American West in the late 1800s and early 1900s, accompanying Gen. John J. Pershings expedition to Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa in 1916. They were deactivated in 1947 when their last member retired from the Army in ceremonies at Fort Huachuca, Ariz. Native Americans from Indian Territory were also recruited by Teddy Roosevelts Rough Riders and saw action in Cuba in the Spanish-American War in 1898. As the military entered the 20th century, Native Americans had already made a substantial contribution through military service and were on the brink of playing an even larger role. Contributions in combat It is estimated that more than 12,000 Native Americans served in the United States military in World War I. Approximately 600 Oklahoma Native Americans, mostly Choctaw and Cherokee, were assigned to the 142nd Infantry of the 36th Texas-Oklahoma National Guard Division. The 142nd saw action in France and its Soldiers were widely recognized for their contributions in battle. The outbreak of World War II brought Native American warriors back to the battlefield in defense of their homeland. Although now eligible for the draft by virtue of the Snyder Act, which gave citizenship to American Indians in 1924, conscription alone does not account for the disproportionate number of Indians who joined the armed services. More than 44,000, out of a total Native American population of less than 350,000, served with distinction between 1941 and 1945 in both European and Pacific theaters of war. Native American men and women on the home front also showed an intense desire to serve their country, and were an integral part of the war effort. More than 40,000 Native Americans left their reservations to work in ordnance depots, factories, and other war industries. They also invested more than $50 million in war bonds, and contributed generously to the Red Cross and the Army and Navy Relief societies. The Native Americans strong sense of patriotism and courage emerged once again during the Vietnam era. More than 42,000 Native Americans, more than 90 percent of them volunteers, fought in Vietnam. Native American contributions in United States military combat continued in the 1980s and 1990s as they saw duty in Grenada, Panama Somalia and the Persian Gulf. “I think they (Native Americans) can be made of excellent use, as scouts and light troops.” —Gen. George Washington, 1778

From TraWing 6New Hampshire-based adventure racing teams Granite AR/Granite AR-1 are the winners of the 2009 United States Adventure Racing Association (USARA) National Championship, held Oct. 22-24 in Pilot Point, Texas. VT-4 Instructor Pilot Lt. Melissa Coombes, a member of Granite AR, helped the team take home the national championship trophy something she described as a a dream that came true for the teams six dedicated athletes. More than 30 hours in length, the adventure race combined approximately 110 miles of mountain biking, 20-plus miles of windy and choppy paddling and 20 miles of intense trekking. Collected in a particular order, the 42 checkpoints (CPs) outlined the Texas course and offered a distinct type of connect-the-dot scavenger hunt for the 62-plus teams that competed in the event. With no GPS units allowed, each team had to navigate the Texas countryside using nothing but a compass and map. The two (three-person) Granite AR teams stuck together throughout the entire event and were at each others aid during periods of physical exhaustion, Coombes said. The temperatures reached almost 70 degrees during the day and plummeted close to freezing during the night, compounded with wind that topped nearly 20 miles per hour. With five inches of rain received the day before the start, and it was a very muddy, cold race, she recalled. When mud is splashing in your eyes, your body is soaked from head to toe, and hypothermia is attempting to set in, you need to be there every step of the way for your teammates and friends. Were a team that thinks as a single unit. Crossing the finish line together in a tie, race directors awarded both teams with the national championship trophy. The trophy will be in Team Granite ARs possession for the next year, until they have to defend the title at the 2010 USARA National Championships, scheduled to be held in Pennsylvania.

Mallabo of the director of branch clinics is the SoQ; HM3 Candace M. Frank of the mental health department is Junior SoQ; and MASA Paloma E. Bazille of the security department is the Blue Jacket of the Quarter. HM1 Jackson, leading petty officer of NBHC Corry Station, supervised 26 junior personnel in the daily floor operations within the multi-disciplinary clinic that provides care to more than 2,100 active duty service members from five tenant commands. Jackson is a selfless leader who is genuinely concerned about the welfare of those she serves and the goals of the command, said HMC Michelle Goodman, senior enlisted leader at the JACC. She has provided hours of service within the Pensacola community volunteering with American Legion Post 267 in their Feed the Veterans Program; Womens Day Program at Good Hope AME Church; mentoring and tutoring at-risk teenagers; and a youth football program. HM2 (SW/FMF/EXW) Mallabo, administrative assistant and assistant commanding individual augmentee (IA) coordinator for director of branch clinics, has shown self motivation and resourcefulness with exceptional organization skills, said Senior Enlisted Leader HMC Victor Alonzo. As the assistant IA augmentee coordinator, Mallabo was instrumental in the successful implementation and compliance of the program at the hospital and its 12 branch health clinics. He reported monthly sponsor contacts for deployed IAs and updated the Navy Family and Accountability Assessment System for all deployed members; and helped coordinate the IA/GSA pre-deployment and re-integration brief for 20 Sailors. He is also a basic life support instructor. He developed a creative and successful program for the family readiness group seminar for deploying service members and their families, Alonzo said. Within the community, Mallabo was volunteered offduty time at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in feeding the homeless; assisting in raising funds to ship care packages to deployed hospital personnel; and the International Coastal Cleanup. HM3 Frank, the Junior SoQ, is a psychiatric technician in the mental health department at the hospital who leads by example. She individually performed 20 psychiatric intake interviews, 100 administration letters of separation, 10 psychiatric tests and 12 psychiatric intervention sessions. She also traveled to NBHC Gulfport, Miss., and trained five psychiatric technicians there on how to conduct mental-health interviews, proper protocols of processing letters and documentation for local commanders, triage and consult review. Franks leadership (and) boundless initiative renders her a positive role model who displays tireless motivation and a strong work ethic, said directorate Senior Enlisted Leader, HMC Dexter Lewis. Among some of her community-wide contributions include: assisted in the coordinator of vacation Bible school activities at the Jordan Street Seventh Day Adventist Church; and the Pathfinders Tri-State Youth Federation. MASA Bazile, the Blue Jacket of the Quarter, a member of the security department staff, serves to provide safety and security at the command. She conducted 43 random anti-terrorism measures, 230 vehicle inspections and provides daily foot patrol of the grounds ensuring force protection conditions are met. Bazile is also responsible for monitoring 73 video cameras, the notify-atonce paging system and fire alarm station panel for the hospital and outpatient clinic buildings. Seaman Apprentice Bazile hit the deck running, said HMCM Ronald Edquilang for the director for administration. Within two months of reporting on board, she rewrote the standard operating procedures for Code Red and Code Pink security measures. Among some of her community service include volunteering with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and feeding the homeless twice a month at the Pensacola Lutheran Church.Top Sailors of 4th quarter at Naval Hospital Pensacola By Rod Duren Naval Hospital Pensacola PAONaval Hospital Pensacola recently announced its top four Sailors of the Quarter (SoQ) for the fourth quarter 2009.

Moody DeCA Marketing and Mass Communication SpecialistFORT LEE, Va. The holidays are fast approaching, and they can be a fun family time as children away at college come home, and other students get their holiday break. Its also a time for students and parents to apply for the 2010 Scholarships for Military Children Program that opens in November. Scholarship applications are currently available in commissaries worldwide and online through a link at https://www.commissaries.com and directly at http://www.militaryscholar.org. Since the program began in 2000, it has awarded $7.3 million in scholarships to almost 5,000 children of service members. The scholarship kickoff coincides with National Military Family Month, and is an example of commissaries supporting their local communities by helping to improve the quality of life for military families, said Defense Commissary Agency Director and CEO Philip E. Sakowitz Jr. Being part of something that makes higher education more affordable for military families is thrilling, as we feel it makes a better future possible for their children, he said. The program awards $1,500 scholarships to well-rounded, accomplished service members children, enabling these families to save some on their childrens tuition. Only dependent, unmarried children, younger than age 21 (age 23 if enrolled as a fulltime student at a college or university) of active duty personnel, Reserve, Guard and retired military members, survivors of service members who died while on active duty, or survivors of individuals who died while receiving retired pay from the military may apply for a scholarship. Eligibility is determined using DEERS, the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System database. Applicants should ensure that they, as well as their sponsor, are enrolled in the DEERS database and have a current ID card. The applicant must be planning to attend, or already be attending, an accredited college or university full time in the fall of 2010, or be enrolled in a program of studies designed to transfer directly into a four-year program. Applicants should prepare to submit an essay on the following topic: You can travel back in time; however, you cannot change events. What point in history would you visit and why? Applications must be turned in to a commissary by close of business Feb. 17. At least one scholarship will be awarded at every commissary location with qualified applicants. The scholarships program is administered by Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to service members and their families. Scholarship Managers, a national, nonprofit, scholarship management services organization, manages and awards the scholarships. Commissary vendors, manufacturers, brokers, suppliers and the general public donate money to the program, and every dollar donated goes directly to funding the scholarships.

BALLINGER PUBLISHINGFrom Alice Crann Good Pensacola Junior CollegeThe Pensacola Junior College Lyceum Series presents The Sound of Music for two weekends and singer Elisabeth von Trapp for a separate mid-week concert.

Elisabeth von Trapp performs 7:30 p.m., Nov. 18, at the Ashmore. The Tony awardwinning musical starts with Maria a sweet young postulant whose love of freedom makes it obvious to her superiors that she is not suited for convent life. Thus, she is sent off to be the governess to Capt. von Trapps seven troublesome children. Due to their mutual love of music, Maria becomes friends with the children. Even the strict captain begins to admire her and an adventure ensues. Born and raised in Vermont, Elisabeth von Trapp is the granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron von Trapp, whose story inspired The Sound of Music. Singing professionally since childhood, Elisabeth has enthralled audiences from European cathedrals to Washington D.C.s Kennedy Center. Inspired by her father Werner von Trapps guitar playing and singing, Elisabeth has carried on the legacy of the internationally renowned Trapp Family Singers. The musical and concert are separate. Tickets for each are $10, reserved admission; $8, seniors, children, non-PJC students; $6, Senior Club members, PJC staff/faculty/retirees; free, PJC students.
