CFC surpasses



expectations


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

The 2009 EscaRosa
Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC) has exceeded all expecta-
tions. And money is still coming
in.
More than $806,000 had been
collected as of Nov. 18, about 8
percent higher than last year.
EscaRosa CFC Director Ron
Denson hopes to pass 10 percent
this year.
'That's huge considering the
economic concerns," Denson
said. "We just did not anticipate
seeing such an increase."
The drive officially ended Oct.
30. "Even though we have pretty
much stopped the workplace
campaign, it's still not too late to
make a donation," Denson said,
adding pledge cards will be
accepted until Dec. 15.
Denson was actually bracing
for less this year and a set a con-
servative goal of $728,000, less
than the $741,000 raised last year.
But ultimately the economy


didn't make a difference. "That
was the biggest surprise for all of
us," Denson said.
Prior campaigns have exceed-
ed more than $1 million. But
those were at a time when there
were more federal employees in
the area. The average contribution
per donor is up from roughly
$120 to $170-plus annually.
Denson attributes the cam-
paign's success to the efforts the
commands have given to the
campaign. "The chairs have real-
ly been passionate about the cam-
paign this year," he said.
CFC representatives did more
guest speaking this year than the
past five years combined in an
effort to help people understand
the program and who is benefit-
ing. "We did try and bring more
of the touchy feely aspects so
people understood it's not just a
handout, it's a program that is
really impacting peoples' lives,"
he said.
The CFC is not a non-profit,
but a federal program with the
purpose of implementing a once-


a-year drive for the federal
employees. It's the largest payroll
deductible campaign for federal
workers in the area. Last year
there were 292 CFC campaigns
nationwide that raised $275 mil-


lion. receive the funding. The remain-

NASP's chaplains, USO

plan Thanksgiving activities


By Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer

Thanksgiving week activities at Naval
Air Station Pensacola include an ecu-
menical service and meal on Nov. 23
organized by the chaplains on base and a
Thanksgiving feast on Nov. 26 at the
USO for service members who are not
able to make it home for the holiday.
The church service at the Naval
Aviation Memorial Chapel will start at 6
p.m., with refreshments, soup and salad
served at the J.B. McKamey Center at 7
p.m. People can also bring other food if
they wish, said Lt. Randy Ekstrom, who
along with Father Jack Gray are helping
to organize the event.
The service will include nine chaplains
from the various commands on base
offering prayers, with Capt. David
Girardin, the chaplain at the Naval
Education and Training Command, serv-
ing as the main speaker. For information,
contact Chaplain Ekstrom at 452-2341,
ext. 4.
It was such a success last year that offi-
cials and volunteers at the USO at NASP
plan to do it again serve a traditional
dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
And the center will remain open
throughout the Thanksgiving weekend


with food and plenty of activities. "That's
what the USO is all about," said local
USO Director Heidi Blair.
Last year the USO planned to serve
450 military members and more than 700
showed up. "This year we are planning
on 1,000 and we'll probably have more
than that," Blair said.
Blair said in talking to Sailors and

son it isn't larger is that a large num-
ber of the military population in the
Pensacola area are students who are
not thinking locally, he said.
The agency receiving the largest
single contribution this year from
the EscaRosa CFC will be the
Manna Food Bank in Pensacola.
Denson thinks the media emphasis
on people needing food may have
been a reason the non-profit
received more contributions this
year.


"When people think about help-
ing somebody I think they are more
willing to think about a child and
feeding than the other aspects,"
Denson said.
This year's campaign provided
gifts to contributors who gave a
minimum $240. The lunch bags are
still available as donation incentive.
The campaign also had two
drawings for an I-Pod and for a

navigation device. Those were pur-
chased with dollars from recycled

The hospital's fifth floor most recently used for
the head offices of each of the major directorates of the
facility, including Medical, Surgical and Branch Clinics
- has undergone a yearlong reconstruction process and
will soon become the new inpatient ward.
The fourth floor, which includes the current inpatient
ward and five operating rooms, will go into another
year-long renovation and restoration phase next week.
In the meanwhile, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
contracted with Mobile Medical International

"Money is tight with everyone," she
said.
"Many already felt like the USO
was home," Blair said. It will be the
first time many of the active-duty
Sailors and Marines will be away
from home for Thanksgiving.
"It ends up being an emotional
day," Blair said. "It can be very, very
lonely." Last year many thanked the
volunteers for providing the meal,
she said.
As the USO continues to be more
utilized on base, it is reaching out
this Thanksgiving to include a shut-

She got the news on Nov. 13. "It

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
today from 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.

All naval hospital customers who may need urgent
or emergency care, during the Nov. 20-22 shutdown,
should go to the closest civilian hospital emergency
room or urgent care clinic.


Many people have already been
assigned to cook turkeys, including
Blair who said she'll be cooking five
this year instead of doing nine like
she did last year. Members of
Northridge Church in Pensacola are
cooking 50 turkeys and McGuire's
Irish Pub in Pensacola is donating all
the mashed potatoes. Also, Pen Air
Federal Credit Union donated 65
turkeys.
But the center is still in need of
other items, especially items that will
last through the weekend. One of the
big items is soda. One soda per per-
son per day over the weekend adds
up to 300 cases of soda.
The USO also needs paper prod-
ucts, garbage bags and even garbage
cans. And they are short on ice chests
to keep the ice cold.

A 13-year-old's thoughts on an unknown Soldier


Dear Editor:

Mary Catherine Smith is 13
years old and in the eighth grade
at Little Flower Catholic School
in Mobile, Ala.
This past year, Mary Catherine
was given an assignment to
choose a poem, read it and then
write down her reaction in the
form of a letter to the poem's
author.
The poem she chose was "The
Unknown Soldier" by J.P. Dunn.
Mary Catherine found herself
extremely moved and touched by
J.P. Dunn's simple words.
They had a profound effect on
her and she shared this in her let-


Dear Mr. Dunn:

I have read your
poem "The Unknown
Soldier." I found it to
be very inspiring in so
many ways.
It speaks for the
men and women who
wore the uniform and
served their country.
The Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier is a
great reminder of how
great our country is.
This poem inspired
me because the Soldier
gave his life to protect
his land.
He fought for his
country and for his
people. It made me feel
thankful and sad.
I felt thankful
because I know there
are many people dying
and fighting for my
country. Also, I felt sad
because he cared so

I had not seen Mary Catherine's
letter of response until I stumbled
across it while cleaning out her
book bag in preparation for the
new school year.
I was amazed by what I read. It
was remarkable to read how the
words of one man, the efforts of
many and the privilege of our
freedom can affect a 13-year-old
girl without a care in the world.
It brought tears to my eyes, and
my heart filled with feelings of
both happiness and sadness.
I am so very proud of the way
my daughter showed respect and
gratitude for the men and women
who have fought, and who are

Some of those feel-

I want to share her words with

I think it is important to show

The Unknown Soldier
By J.P. Dunn

Although unknown he was not alone,
The night he passed away;
A mother touched his heart and lips
While his guardian angel led his soul
away

To the far off better land.
Across the trackless plains
When all will meet again those
Who are absent from home today

He gave his live for Democracy
To cement the hearts of men,
That all alike might share
Full freedom in every land

He fought beneath the stars and stripes
For the country he loved so well;
In the Flanders Fields in France
Our gallant hero fell

As a token of true friendship
We beautify his grave
In the cemetery at Arlington
Where the flowers gently wave;
We promise as we kneel beside him
Beneath the elms quiet shade,
That his flag of yesterday
We hold in ecstasy today

New bill should help military spouses with relocation bureaucracy


Story, photo
by Anne Thrower
Gosport Staff Writer


President Barack Obama recently signed the
Military Spouse Residency Relief Act that is intended
to ease the bureaucracy that military spouses endure
with relocations.
The bill allows military spouses who relocate out of
a state with their service members on military orders to
have the option to claim the same state of domicile as
their active-duty spouses, regardless of where they are
stationed.
In the past, each time a military family moved to a
different state, the spouse was subject to unnecessary
and often expensive changes, proponents of the bill
said.
Relocation and deployment specialists at Naval Air
Station Pensacola are waiting to get the details of the
bill that was signed on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
"It gives them more options with regard to paying
taxes and getting tags," said Pam Banks, a relocation
and deployment specialist at NASP.
The bill will amend the Service Members Civil
Relief Act that, among other things, allows service
members to use the same driver's licenses, voting
cards and state tax procedures when they relocate.
Now those same rights will apply to spouses who
often had to shift through mounds of paperwork to
determine different state tax procedures and incur

members.
expensive changes every time they relocated.
Residents of Florida, for example, do not have a
state income tax. However, when a couple relocates to
a state with state income tax, often there are questions
about how the tax should be handled. The bill gives
couples the option on where they want to declare resi-
dency.
Other changes like having to get a new driver's
license within 30 days of locating in some states would
also be an option for spouses.
"I'm still researching the extent of the act," Banks


said, adding details of the new legislation should be
arriving at FFSC shortly. "It will save a lot of hassle."
Kathy Sims, a relocation and deployment specialist
at NASP, said this is another example of how much
has improved for military families in the past decade.
"There are more things available than they have ever
had in the U.S. military," she said.
In addition to helping families relocate, there are
services that help spouses with job leads at their new
location, including help with resume writing.
Sims said it makes her feel proud when she sees leg-
islation that helps military members and their families.
Word of the new legislation pleased Families United
for Our Troops and Their Mission, the nation's largest
military family organization.
"By signing the Military Spouse Residency Relief
Act, the president is easing the cumbersome bureau-
cratic hurdles that military spouses are forced to endure
with every relocation," the organization said.
"Military spouses and their families serve and sacri-
fice with their troops every day," officials with
Families United said.
"(We) will continue working to ensure that their sac-
rifice for this country is made as easy as possible and
that the families that support our men and women in
uniform are taken care of while their loved ones serve
this nation."
The organization went on to say "this legislation
represents a significant step forward for military fami-
lies, and Families United applauds President Obama
for signing it into law.


Federal officials pledge support for hiring veterans under Obama directive


By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON Senior federal
officials recently pledged their support of
President Barack Obama's directive to
increase the hiring of military veterans.
Obama signed the executive order Nov.
9 that calls on each federal agency to
establish a veterans' employment pro-
gram office designed to help former serv-
ice members get through the maze of
paperwork as they apply for federal posi-
tions. It also mandates that agencies train
personnel specialists on veteran employ-
ment policies.
The order also directs federal agencies
to work with the departments of Defense
and Veterans Affairs to develop and apply
technologies designed to help disabled
veterans.
Also recently Secretary of Labor Hilda
L. Solis appeared at a U.S. Chamber of
Commerce event where she told civilian
employers they should consider military
veterans as employees of choice.
Solis said establishing a veterans' pro-
gram office within most federal agencies
is part of a program designed to transform
the federal government into the model
employer of America's veterans.
America owes a great debt to its mili-
tary veterans, Veterans Affairs Deputy
Secretary W. Scott Gould said at the press
conference.
"We can reach out to them with some-
thing as simple, as pragmatic, as practical
as a job; a good job in government,"
Gould said.
And, veterans' hard-won experience,
he said, constitutes "an asset we can now


bring into government."
It is imperative, Gould said, that gov-
ernment agencies assist veterans to
become aware of government jobs, help
veterans translate their military skills into
civilian parlance, and to help them adjust
to their new civilian environment.
Office of Personnel Management
Director John Berry told reporters that the
president directed him "to do right by our
veterans."
America's veterans "are valued, they
are experienced, and they are trained,"
Berry said. Consequently, he said, it
would be foolish not to provide veterans
with more opportunities to continue to
serve in the federal workforce after mili-
tary service.
"And so, we want to make sure that
they know they are welcome and we will
have a job for them," Berry said. "We will
find one that matches their skills, their
passions and their interests and their abili-
ties."
After finding the rightjob, he said, each
veteran will be mentored to help them
adapt and transition into the civilian work
culture so that they can succeed.
The governmentwide Council on
Veterans' Employment, chaired by Solis
and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric
Shinseki, will play a key role in the veter-
ans hiring program, Berry said.
Solis' and Shinseki's influence, vision
and leadership will make the program a
success, Berry said. OPM plans to release
a list of the numbers of veterans working
at federal agencies.
"And our goal is to have every one of
those numbers increase, so that those per-
centages go up," Berry said.


The United States "arguably has the
best-trained, best-equipped and best-led
military force the world has ever seen,"
said Gail McGinn, acting undersecretary
of defense for personnel and readiness.
The president's veterans employment
initiative "will showcase the leadership
and technical skills our military members
have to offer," McGinn said, and "will
bring back that wonderful talent into our
civilian workforce."
The Defense Department already is the
largest federal employer of military veter-
ans, McGinn noted. Today, about 342,000
defense civilians are veterans, she said,
making up about 45 percent of the depart-
ment's civilian workforce.
"I work side by side with veterans
every day," McGinn said. The skills veter-
ans learned in the service, she said, "serve
them very, very well working within the
Department of Defense."
The department has two Web sites that
provide employment information for vet-
erans, as well as a toll-free phone number
where they can talk to career advisors, she
said.
The department, McGinn said, also
provides transition programs for separat-
ing military members that feature resume
writing, skills assessments, interview-
process training, and jobs-search tech-
niques.
"We also provide special help to our
wounded, ill and injured service members
whose careers have been cut short due to
the injuries received in Iraq or
Afghanistan," she said, through the
"Hiring Heroes" career fairs.
Thirty one of these career fairs, she
said, have been run across the United


States since 2005.
The largest of the fairs, conducted in
June at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center here, attracted more than 570 job
seekers, McGinn said.
The career fairs, she said, provide serv-
ice members, many of whom still are
recovering from wounds, the opportunity
to visit with potential employers, get on-
the-spot interviews, and often, job offers.
"At DoD, we are extremely proud of
our service members and fully aware of
the value that they bring to the federal
government," McGinn said.
The interagency process launched by
Obama's executive order "will clear a
pathway for more federal jobs for our
service members," McGinn said, and
"will allow them to look throughout the
federal government to find the right fit and
the best federal job for them."
The Department of Homeland
Security's mission of securing the home-
land requires dedicated people "willing to
do whatever it really takes to get the job
done," said JeffNeal, DHS's chief human
capital officer.
Military veterans, Neal said, have "all
the types of qualifications that we are
looking for in DHS, and they have proven
time and time again, when their country
has called on them, they are ready to
respond."
Neal said his agency plans to employ
50,000 military veterans by 2012.
"We want to show the veterans of
America that DHS is one of the places
where you are welcome, where you are
valued, where you can build a second
career and continue your service to
America," he said.

Snapshot: facts
about diabetes,
America's seventh
leading cause
of death
How many Americans
have diabetes and pre-dia-
betes?
S 23.6 million
Americans have diabetes
- 7.8 percent of the U.S.
population. Of these, 5.7
million do not know they
have the disease.
Each year, about 1.6
million people ages 20 or
older are diagnosed with
diabetes.
The number of people
diagnosed with diabetes
has risen from 1.5 million
in 1958 to 17.9 million in
2007, an increase of epi-
demic proportions.
It is estimated that 57
million adults age 20 and
older have pre-diabetes.
What is the prevalence
of diagnosed and undiag-
nosed diabetes by age?
23.5 million
Americans ages 20 or
older have diabetes -10.7
percent of this age group.
12.2 million
Americans ages 60 or
older have diabetes 23.1
percent of this age group.
What is the prevalence
of diagnosed diabetes in
youth?
186,300 people under
age 20 have type 1 and
type 2 diabetes 0.2 per-
cent of this age group.
What is the prevalence
of diabetes by
race/ethnicity?
Non-Hispanic whites
14.9 million; 9.8 per-
cent of all non-Hispanic
whites aged 20 and older
have diagnosed and undi-
agnosed diabetes.
African Americans
3.7 million; 14.7 per-
cent of all non-Hispanic
blacks age 20 and older
have diagnosed and undi-
agnosed diabetes.
Non-Hispanic blacks
are about 1.8 times more
likely to have diabetes as
non-Hispanic whites 20
years and older.
Hispanics/Latinos
10.4 percent of
Hispanics/Latinos ages 20
or older have diagnosed
diabetes.
The overall risk for
death among people with
diabetes is about double
that of people without dia-
betes.


November is American Diabetes Month

New cases of diabetes linked to rising obesity rates


From Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney

failure, blindness and amputations, and

a major cause of heart disease and

stroke. Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes,

and about 6 million of them are unaware of their

disease. With obesity on the rise, millions more are

at risk of developing diabetes.


Every 24 hours more than
4,000 adults are diagnosed with
diabetes and approximately 200
people die from diabetes.
Diabetes is a major cause of
heart disease and stroke and a
leading cause of leg and foot
amputations unrelated to injury,
kidney failure, and new cases of
blindness in adults. However,
people with diabetes can lower
their risk of complications by
following important steps to
control the disease:
Talk to your healthcare
provider about how to manage
your blood glucose (A1C),
blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Get both the seasonal and
H1N1 flu vaccines as soon as
they are available. For those
with diabetes, it is important to
ask for the "shot" version of both
vaccines. In addition, talk to
your health care provider about a
pneumonia (pneumococcal)
shot. People with diabetes are
more likely to die from pneumo-
nia or influenza than people who
do not have diabetes.
Stay at a healthy weight and
engage in moderate physical
activity for two hours and 30
minutes each week or vigorous
physical activity for one hour


and 15 minutes each week. Be
sure to add muscle strengthening
activities on two or more days
each week. Physical activity can
help you control your weight,
blood glucose, and blood pres-
sure, as well as raise your
"good" cholesterol and lower
your "bad" cholesterol.
Obesity is a major risk factor
During the past 20 years there
has been a dramatic increase in
obesity in the United States, and
this is a major factor but not
the only factor in the increas-
ing rate of newly diagnosed
cases of diabetes. Population
increases in diabetes have coin-
cided with increases in obesity,
and the type 2 diabetes epidemic
is believed to be largely a result
of the increase in obesity levels.
Diagnosed diabetes has
increased, particularly in over-
weight and obese individuals,
and improvements in diabetes
awareness and enhanced detec-
tion are occurring among the
most obese.
Ways you can help prevent
diabetes
Prediabetes is a condition in
which individuals have blood
glucose levels higher than nor-
mal but not high enough to be


Diabetes directly affects the lives of millions of
Americans and their families. While no cure exists,
medical advancements are continually producing


new, more effective treatments to
control the disease. Individuals
who manage their diabetes proper-
ly can lower their risk of complica-
tions and live productive, normal
lives. During National Diabetes
Month, we recommit to educating
Americans about the warning
signs of diabetes, and help those
with the condition to mitigate the
effects of this devastating disease.
The two common forms of dia-


Diabetics use a blood glucose meter and a lancet (a tool to get a drop
of blood) to check their blood glucose. A meter will use the blood to give
you a number which is known as the blood glucose level. It is usually
checked before meals, after meals, and sometimes at bedtime. People
who take insulin usually need to check their glucose more often.


classified as diabetes. In 2007,
at least 57 million American
adults were estimated to have
prediabetes. People with predia-
betes have an increased risk of
developing type 2 diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke.
However, progression to dia-
betes among those with predia-
betes is not inevitable.
Recent studies have shown
that people at high risk for type
2 diabetes can prevent or delay


innovations. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent
form of diabetes and usually affects individuals age
40 and older, and those who are overweight, inac-

betes are known as type 1 and type 2. Type 1 dia-

destroys insulin-producing cells. The outlook for
those with type 1 diabetes has dramatically
improved in the past few decades due to a host of


tive, or have a family history of the
disease. Every day, 10 children in
this country are diagnosed with type
2 diabetes a staggering statistic
that reflects the growing epidemic of
obesity in our country.
Preventive care is the simplest
way to avoid diabetes and its com-
plications. A healthy diet, combined
with daily exercise, has been shown
to dramatically reduce incidence of
this disease.


African Americans, Latinos and Native
Americans, as well as the elderly, are at greater risk
of developing diabetes during their lifetimes. As a
nation, we must ensure that all Americans know the

ing healthier and getting moder-

physical activity for 75 minutes
each week.
The development and deliv-
ery of lifestyle interventions to
people at risk for diabetes are
needed to stop the rise in new
cases of diabetes.


have access to affordable, quality medical care to
help control it.
While diabetes is a complex and challenging
disease, dedicated researchers continue to make
important discoveries. This month, we honor those
who have made these successes possible, support
those who are battling diabetes, and rededicate
ourselves to sustaining Federal investments in
research and education programs that improve the
prevention and treatment of this disease.
Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, president of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim
November 2009 as National Diabetes Month. I
encourage citizens, medical institutions,
Government and social service agencies, busi-
nesses, non-profit organizations, and other inter-
ested groups to join in activities that help prevent,
treat and manage diabetes.

The judge read the charges, then asked, "Are you the
defendant in this case?"
"No sir, your honor, sir," replied Bob, "I've got a lawyer to
do the defendin'. I'm the guy who done it."

Parents are expected to participate in their children's edu-

There were only three mistakes on my math homework," he
announced. "You made one, Dad made one and I made

teered for nine months of
active duty when asked to
serve as the officer in charge

more than 3,400 flight
hours, with more than
1,300 of them in the T-6.

The top four Sailors of the Year

(SoYs) at Naval Hospital

Pensacolaae amirrorimage of

the command as a whole: taking direct cae of

patients and making sure those Sailors

deploying and their families are watched over

attentively.


On Oct. 29, NH
Pensacola named its top
Sailors of the Year (for FY-
09) at a luncheon at the
Crosswinds at Corry
Station.
The Senior Sailor of the
Year is HM1 Marquita Y
Culley of radiology. The
Junior SoY is HM2 Sally
R. Griffin of the Plans,
Operations and Medical
Intelligence (POMI)
department. The Sailor of
the Year is HM3 James L.
Aldridge of Naval Branch
Health Clinic, Naval Air
Technical Training Center
(NATTC). The Blue
Jacket SoY is HN Jevelle
Moore of the physical
therapy/occupational ther-
apy department.
HM1(SW) Culley,
leading petty officer of
radiology, is described as
having "superior leader-
ship ability" that enhances
the professional and tech-
nical development of 22
junior Sailors, two
reservists and 19 civilians
under her tutelage, said the
department's leading sen-
ior enlisted member,
HMC(FMF) Kari
Ferguson.
The petty officer man-
ages a $2.7 million annual
budget and maintains cog-
nizance of $5 million in
equipment supporting
more than 150,000 hospi-
tal beneficiaries. Her tire-
less efforts were para-
mount in the providing of
more than 77,000 radio-
logical exams without


delay or interruption to
patient care despite a 20
percent decrease in man-
power due to deploy-
ments. Culley oversaw
and managed Sailors in
the purging of more than
4,400 pounds of X-ray
film resulting in a 20 per-
cent increase of storage
space in preparation for
the department's digital
archiving system.
As a person who con-
sistently seeks ways to
improve patient care and
safety, Culley's efforts in
organizing a 24-hour duty
section, and on-call watch
operating room watches,
provides continuous emer-
gency services and radio-
logical support.
Culley, known as a
"problem-solver" who
possesses an "outside the
box mentality" also pro-
vides collateral duty as a
Volunteer Income Tax
assistant, Combined
Federal Campaign repre-
sentative, and First Line
Leadership Training coor-
dinator where she teaches
various topics to junior
Sailors and officers.
Within the community,
she volunteers her time
with the Pine Forest High
School Junior ROTC drill
meet; and mentoring sec-
ond grade students at
Edgewater Elementary.
She also serves as the
command outreach coor-
dinator where she coordi-
nates community service
opportunities throughout


HMI(SW)
Marquita


Culley

the area resulting in 105
Sailors volunteering more
than 435 off-duty hours of
40 separate projects.
HM2 Griffin, leading
petty officer for the POMI
department, uses her
"exceptional planning and
prioritizing" to handle the
tremendous responsibility
in support of command
individual augmentees
(IAs) deploying through-
out the world; and in sup-
port of their families
remaining in the area.
"She has accomplished
more personally and pro-
fessionally than anyone in
her position in the last
three years," said HMCM
Ronald Edquilang. She is
the "go-to person" for all
deployment requirements
and has been the key to the
successful operation of
POMI.
Griffin maintains strict
quality assurance on data-
base and deployment
readiness of more than
1,070 active-duty person-
nel from the hospital and
its 12 branch health clin-
ics. Due to her detailed
nature and unrelenting
pursuit of excellence,
POMI successfully
deployed 148 Sailors in
support of 45 Navy medi-
cine taskers; and eased the
transition of 90 personnel
returning to the command
from deployments. She
also serves as the assistant
family care plan coordina-
tor identifying and notify-
ing service members' fam-
ilies in need of care plans.
In the community,
Griffin volunteered for the
Mustin Beach and internal
beach clean-ups, the annu-
al Fiesta Fun Run and the
"Animal Foster Home for

cares for pets of currently
deployed service mem-
bers. She currently is purs-
ing an associate's degree
in pre-veterinary medicine
at Pensacola Junior
College.
HM3 Aldridge, a certi-
fied member of the sick
call screener team at the
NATTC branch clinic and
its medical records petty
officer, is the Junior SoQ.
He has conducted a multi-
tude of 'first string indoc-
trination' health-clinic
briefs for both NATTC
and Marine Air Training
Support Group staff; and
has provided medical cov-
erage for six MATSG-21
and four NATTC fire-
fighting physical training
exercises involving more
than 800 Sailors and
Marines.
An invaluable member
of the military sick call
team, Aldridge assisted
health care providers in
the treatment of more than
300 patients monthly, per-
forming triage, primary
assessment and entries
into the hospital's comput-
er records. His efforts
were essential in the clinic
achieving 98 percent oper-
ational medical readiness.
Aldridge is "self-moti-
vated, resourceful, persist-
ent and constantly person-
ifies the high standards,"
of the United States Navy,
said HMC David
Lockard, leading chief of
the clinic.
Within the community,
the Sailor volunteered his
time as a fire fighter and
first responder for the
Myrtle Grove Volunteer
Fire Department; mentor-
ing adolescents with Big


Brothers of America; and
assisted and mentored stu-
dents at Bellview Baptist
Church.
HN Moore, the Blue
Jacket SoQ, has provided
complex treatment ses-
sions and fabrication of
customer orthotics for
1,200 patients for the
physical therapy and
occupational therapy
department demonstrating
the "ability to quickly
assimilate complex skills
and implement his knowl-
edge to overcome the
challenging technical
aspects of the specialty
clinic, said HMC Victor
Alonzo, leading chief
As the department's
training representative, he
implemented military and
therapy training plans;
directly supervised two
military assistants; and
ensured compliance and
timeliness of all
Department of Defense
mandated training.
As a dedicated educa-
tor, he personally instruct-
ed occupational therapy
specific exercises and
modalities to six West
Florida High School stu-
dents from February to
April 2009; and facilitated
monthly nurse/corpsmen
orientation classes for new
PT/OT staff members.
Within the community,
Moore volunteered with
Big Brothers & Big
Sisters to provide after-
school mentoring of stu-
dents from Navy Point
Elementary; served break-
fast for a month to the
homeless at Pensacola
Lutheran Church; and was
parade marshal for the
Fiesta Day Parade in
downtown Pensacola.

managing operation and maintenance of
the hyperbaric chamber and serves as lead
maintenance supervisor for the
Department. He also serves as a lead diving
supervisor during clinical hyperbaric oxy-
gen therapy treatments and emergency
treatments for decompression sickness and
all other dysbaric illnesses.
Two of many examples of Robertson's
key support of the NOMI mission during
this past quarter:
He identified a defective system com-
ponent in the hyperbaric chamber, found a
replacement component, tested it and
directed its installation; allowing the
NAMI hyperbaric chamber to remain 100
percent operational and ensured the contin-
uation of the system's NAVFAC certifica-
tion.
He researched and directed the set-up
of the planned maintenance system for the
newly acquired "Fly Away Recompression
Chamber" to ensure the hyperbaric depart-
ment's operational status during the
upcoming chamber and dive system over-
haul.
Ongoing hyperbaric chamber function is
key not only to the NAMI hyperbaric med-
icine department's primary mission of
emergency treatments for decompression
sickness and all other dysbaric illnesses, it
is critical to NAMI's ability to support clin-
ical hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments
and the upcoming cooperative study with
the DVA of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for
combat-related traumatic brain injuries.

USS Constitution is America's 'ship of state'


By MC1 Eric Brown
USS Constitution Public Affairs
CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD,
Mass. (NNS) USS Constitution recent-
ly became America's Ship of State.
USS Constitution's primary mission
will remain education and public outreach
and any Ship of State functions will be an
adjunct to the ship's primary mission,
according the National Defense
Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2010 in
section 1022.
It is the sense of Congress that the pres-
ident, vice president, executive branch
officials and members of Congress should
use the USS Constitution for the conduct-
ing of pertinent matters of state, such as
hosting visiting heads of state, signing leg-
islation relating to the armed forces and
signing maritime related treaties.
Constitution's 71st and current com-
manding officer, Cmdr. Timothy Cooper,
could not be more excited about this law
signed by President Barrack Obama, after


the House of Representatives and the
Senate passed the bill earlier in October.
"I am really proud and humbled to be a
part of this honor," Cooper said. "USS
Constitution has always been the most vis-
ible reminder of the beginnings of our
Navy. Now, USS Constitution is a visible
reminder ofAmerica, and all that we stand
for."
Constitution was launched into the
Boston Harbor on Oct. 21, 1797. In her
years of active service, from 1798-1855,
the three-masted wooden frigate fought in
the Quasi-War with France, the Barbary
Wars and the War of 1812.
Today Old Ironsides is the oldest com-
missioned warship afloat in the world, has
a permanent crew of 73 active-duty U.S.
Navy Sailors and is visited by nearly half
a million people every year.
The origins of Old Ironsides status as
America's Ship of State were in July of
1997 when then Cmdr. Chris Melhuish,
Constitution's 65th commanding officer,
had a vision for the future of the ship,


shortly before he took command.
"The idea struck me after Cmdr.
Michael Beck (USS Constitution's 64th
commanding officer) challenged me to
create my vision for the ship, following
his vision, which was to sail the ship for
the first time in 116 years, for
Constitution's bicentennial," said
Melhuish.
The status of the ship had inherently
changed after that historic sail, and
Constitution should no longer be thought
of as a pierside museum exhibit.
"The best description of the ship was
'ship of state,'"Melhuish said. "That was
the vision, and then began the long
process of translating that vision into a
concept."
In October of 2006, he laid out that con-
cept on paper, which was endorsed by the
Congress of the Naval Order of the United
States, and by Deputy Secretary of
Defense Gordon England.
Then-Massachusetts Sen. Edward
Kennedy sponsored the bill in 2008, but it


did not make final passage into the
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2009, which would take anoth-
er year.
"The people of this country, through
Congress, have done the right thing,
which should have been done in 1815,"
said Melhuish, referring to a National
Intelligencer article that appeared in
1815.
"Let us keep Old Ironsides at home,"
the newspaper author opined, shortly after
Constitution won a string of victories
against her British adversaries in the War
of 1812.
"She has, literally, become a nation's
ship, and should be preserved. Not as a
sheer hulk in ordinary (for she is no ordi-
nary vessel); but, in honorable pomp as a
glorious monument of her own, and other
naval victories."
"One hundred and 94 years later, we
have recognized our greatest ship,"
Melhuish said. "I'm very, very happy
about that."

Handel's 'Messiah'
in Pensacola Dec. 5
From Pensacola Symphony Orchestra

Pensacola Symphony Orchestra (PSO) will once
again join with the Pensacola Choral Society and the
University of West Florida Singers to perform the
holiday classic George Frideric Handel's "Messiah"
Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church.
This season's presentation of "Messiah" brings
two of Pensacola's most celebrated vocal talents in
the soloist line up.
Jane Redding, soprano, has performed with operas


Those performing solos in Handel's "Messiah"
include (clockwise from top right) Jane Redding,
Andrew Elliott, Wanda Brister and Leo Day

and orchestras across the United States and Asia.
Tenor soloist, Leo Day, is minister of music at Olive
Baptist Church and an adjunct voice faculty member
at the University of West Florida.
Wanda Brister, mezzo-soprano, and Andrew
Elliott, baritone, round out the soloist ensemble.
Brister is associate professor of voice at Florida
State University where Elliott was her student.
"As a performer, this is one of those scores that is
full of favorite moments that we look forward to,"
said Peter Rubardt, music director.
"I imagine that most everybody struggles at times
with the stress and chaos of the holidays," Rubardt
said.
"I don't think there is a more enjoyable or uplift-
ing way to connect with the true spirit of the holi-
days than to experience Handel's "Messiah."
Tickets are on sale through Dec. 4. Reserved tick-
ets are $25 and general admission tickets are $20.
Call the PSO office at 435-2533 or order online at

Gosport Staff Writer

It's an annual event
at Barrancas National
Cemetery at Naval
Air Station Pensacola
- hundreds of
Christmas wreaths are
placed on grave sites
as part of the Wreaths
Across America proj-
ect.
Last year more than
1,000 wreaths were
placed on
graves at
Barrancas,
said J
Buster
Hartford,
who is
organiz-
ing the
event in '
Pensacola.
It's the fourth
year for the wreath
drive and every year
the numbers keep get-
ting larger.
Hartford said he
would like to eventu-
ally collect 5,000
wreaths locally, which
would be a tractor-
trailer load.
The wreaths -
with the help of local
volunteers will be
laid Dec. 12, starting
at 9 a.m.
A ceremony will
take place at 11 a.m.
Each year a differ-
ent section of the
cemetery is designat-
ed to receive the
wreaths since there
are roughly 37,000
grave sites at the
cemetery.
Hartford said this
year one of the older
sections near the main
office will get the
wreaths.
The Dec. 12 cere-
mony will coincide
with the laying of the
wreaths at Arlington
National Cemetery.
There will also be
wreaths laid at 350
sites nationwide and
across the world,
including seven
wreaths thrown from
ships. Last year
105,000 wreaths were
collected and laid.


The ceremony at
NASP will include a
tribute to the
unknown Soldier and
Rosie the Riveter,
Hartford said.
Wreaths are given
to local families who
had a family member
die this year in Iraq or
Afghanistan.
"It's kind of amaz-
ing that even with the
way the economy is
today, people still
want to honor
the veter-
ans ,
Hartford
said. "It's
q uite
heart-
warm-
ing."
r T h e
Wreat h s
Across America
project was started 18
years ago.
People can continue
to order wreaths until
Nov. 25. The wreaths
cost $15.
Hartford said peo-
ple can order the
wreaths to be placed
at Barrancas through
the Wreaths Across
America.org Web site.
They can also order
wreaths to be placed
at grave sites of indi-
viduals who are
buried at other ceme-
teries.
But Hartford said
he would like people
to call him if the
wreaths are going
somewhere other than
Barrancas so he can
arrange for those peo-
ple to pick the wreaths
up.
Hartford can be
reached at 341-7937.
People can also
order wreaths through
several local groups
who are sponsoring
wreath collections.
Among the 15 or so
groups sponsoring the
drive is the Young
Marines of Pensacola
chapter that has been
selling the wreaths
since early October.
The young Marines
will also help lay the
wreaths on Dec. 12.

By Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterThe 2009 EscaRosa Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) has exceeded all expectations. And money is still coming in. More than $806,000 had been collected as of Nov. 18, about 8 percent higher than last year. EscaRosa CFC Director Ron Denson hopes to pass 10 percent this year. Thats huge considering the economic concerns, Denson said. We just did not anticipate seeing such an increase. The drive officially ended Oct. 30. Even though we have pretty much stopped the workplace campaign, its still not too late to make a donation, Denson said, adding pledge cards will be accepted until Dec. 15. Denson was actually bracing for less this year and a set a conservative goal of $728,000, less than the $741,000 raised last year. But ultimately the economy didnt make a difference. That was the biggest surprise for all of us, Denson said. Prior campaigns have exceeded more than $1 million. But those were at a time when there were more federal employees in the area. The average contribution per donor is up from roughly $120 to $170-plus annually. Denson attributes the campaigns success to the efforts the commands have given to the campaign. The chairs have really been passionate about the campaign this year, he said. CFC representatives did more guest speaking this year than the past five years combined in an effort to help people understand the program and who is benefiting. We did try and bring more of the touchy feely aspects so people understood its not just a handout, its a program that is really impacting peoples lives, he said. The CFC is not a non-profit, but a federal program with the purpose of implementing a oncea-year drive for the federal employees. Its the largest payroll deductible campaign for federal workers in the area. Last year there were 292 CFC campaigns nationwide that raised $275 million. About 97 percent of the money given to the EscaRosa CFC is designated for local, state and national non-profits that meet federal guidelines qualifying to receive the funding. The remaining undesignated money is equally dispersed among the agencies. About 30 percent of the moneySee CFC on page 2 VISIT GOSPORT ONLINE: www.gosportpensacola.com Vol. 73, No. 46 November 20, 2009Published by the Ballinger Publishing, a private firm in no way connected with the Department of the Navy.

The church service at the Naval Aviation Memorial Chapel will start at 6 p.m., with refreshments, soup and salad served at the J.B. McKamey Center at 7 p.m. People can also bring other food if they wish, said Lt. Randy Ekstrom, who along with Father Jack Gray are helping to organize the event. The service will include nine chaplains from the various commands on base offering prayers, with Capt. David Girardin, the chaplain at the Naval Education and Training Command, serving as the main speaker. For information, contact Chaplain Ekstrom at 452-2341, ext. 4. It was such a success last year that officials and volunteers at the USO at NASP plan to do it again serve a traditional dinner on Thanksgiving Day. And the center will remain open throughout the Thanksgiving weekend with food and plenty of activities. Thats what the USO is all about, said local USO Director Heidi Blair. Last year the USO planned to serve 450 military members and more than 700 showed up. This year we are planning on 1,000 and well probably have more than that, Blair said.

It is the initial phase of the installation of a pair of new, emergency generators. The hospital will be without power and void of any services, including the Emergency Room and Pharmacy until 7 a.m. Monday.

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.

One reason it isnt larger is that a large number of the military population in the Pensacola area are students who are not thinking locally, he said. The agency receiving the largest single contribution this year from the EscaRosa CFC will be the Manna Food Bank in Pensacola. Denson thinks the media emphasis on people needing food may have been a reason the non-profit received more contributions this year. When people think about helping somebody I think they are more willing to think about a child and feeding than the other aspects, Denson said. This years campaign provided gifts to contributors who gave a minimum $240. The lunch bags are still available as donation incentive. The campaign also had two drawings for an I-Pod and for a global positioning system (GPS) navigation device. Those were purchased with dollars from recycled ink. Brenda Welch, an instructional systems specialist at Corrys Center for Information Dominance, won the GPS. I was very surprised, Welch said. Like most people, Welch didnt give to CFC because there was a drawing. In fact, she wasnt even aware there was a drawing. I just always give to CFC, Welch said. She got the news on Nov. 13. It was the best Friday the 13th Ive ever had in my whole life, she said.

Since the construction of the National Flight Academy facility, designed as a modern aircraft carrier, parallels that of a United States ship, retired Vice Adm. Gerry Hoewing, president and CEO of the National Flight Academy, and retired Vice Adm. Mike Bowman, chairman of the board for the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, honored this tradition by officially naming it Ambition. The name Ambition was chosen because the NFA program will give students the inspiration and ambition to study science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and the field of aviation. The National Flight Academy is the latest major endeavor of the Pensacola-based Naval Aviation Museum Foundation Inc. Upon opening, the National Flight Academy will have an estimated $30 million economic impact on the Gulf Coast region. The Academy Web site, www.nationalflightacademy. com, will include regular updates on the construction and program progress. Thanksgiving from page 1Marines who use the center those who could only afford to go home once during the holidays preferred Christmas over Thanksgiving. Money is tight with everyone, she said. Many already felt like the USO was home, Blair said. It will be the first time many of the active-duty Sailors and Marines will be away from home for Thanksgiving. It ends up being an emotional day, Blair said. It can be very, very lonely. Last year many thanked the volunteers for providing the meal, she said. As the USO continues to be more utilized on base, it is reaching out this Thanksgiving to include a shuttle service from Corry. Many people have already been assigned to cook turkeys, including Blair who said shell be cooking five this year instead of doing nine like she did last year. Members of Northridge Church in Pensacola are cooking 50 turkeys and McGuires Irish Pub in Pensacola is donating all the mashed potatoes. Also, Pen Air Federal Credit Union donated 65 turkeys. But the center is still in need of other items, especially items that will last through the weekend. One of the big items is soda. One soda per person per day over the weekend adds up to 300 cases of soda. The USO also needs paper products, garbage bags and even garbage cans. And they are short on ice chests to keep the ice cold. After Thanksgiving Day, the USO will be serving barbecue and snacks. So snacks are needed. The Thanksgiving meal open to all active-duty military will be served noon to 6 p.m. And the center will remain open from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Shuttles will leave Corrys gym at 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. The last shuttle will return to Corry at 7 p.m. While there are volunteers for the weekend, Blair said the center is always in need of permanent volunteers. People wishing to donate items or wanting to volunteer should call Kathy Karsten at 455-8280. Donations for Thanksgiving can be dropped off at the USO until noon on Wednesday.Closings from page 1(Nov. 26) include NASP/Corry Child Development Centers, Auto Skills Center, Crosswinds, Portside Cinema, Oak Grove Park, Bayou Grande Marina, Sherman Cove Marina and Oaks Restaurant, golf shop and gazebo at A.C.

The hospitals fifth floor most recently used for the head offices of each of the major directorates of the facility, including Medical, Surgical and Branch Clinics has undergone a yearlong reconstruction process and will soon become the new inpatient ward. The fourth floor, which includes the current inpatient ward and five operating rooms, will go into another year-long renovation and restoration phase next week. In the meanwhile, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracted with Mobile Medical International Corporation to provide two, specially-built, portable operating rooms. They are in place at the rear of the hospital facility. Simulated OR cases were to have taken place Nov. 16 before operations begin Nov. 23. Beginning today at noon, NH Pensacola will close its gates to customers until Monday morning for the generator phase-in. 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 today from 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 civilian hospital emergency room or urgent care clinic.

GOSPORT November 20, 2009PAGE3Dear Editor: Mary Catherine Smith is 13 years old and in the eighth grade at Little Flower Catholic School in Mobile, Ala. This past year, Mary Catherine was given an assignment to choose a poem, read it and then write down her reaction in the form of a letter to the poems author. The poem she chose was The Unknown Soldier by J.P. Dunn. Mary Catherine found herself extremely moved and touched by J.P. Dunns simple words. They had a profound effect on her and she shared this in her letter to Mr. Dunn. I had not seen Mary Catherines letter of response until I stumbled across it while cleaning out her book bag in preparation for the new school year. I was amazed by what I read. It was remarkable to read how the words of one man, the efforts of many and the privilege of our freedom can affect a 13-year-old girl without a care in the world. It brought tears to my eyes, and my heart filled with feelings of both happiness and sadness. I am so very proud of the way my daughter showed respect and gratitude for the men and women who have fought, and who are currently fighting for our country and what we believe in. I want to share her words with as many people as possible in hopes to inspire others to recognize the efforts of our veterans and our active military and to bring joy to those who have served us and our wonderful country. I think it is important to show how one young childs words from the heart can speak for thousands. Please see her letter of response to Mr. Dunn, as well as his poem below. Thank you for your time. Kathy Smith Mobile, Ala. Dear Mr. Dunn: I have read your poem The Unknown Soldier. I found it to be very inspiring in so many ways. It speaks for the men and women who wore the uniform and served their country. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a great reminder of how great our country is. This poem inspired me because the Soldier gave his life to protect his land. He fought for his country and for his people. It made me feel thankful and sad. I felt thankful because I know there are many people dying and fighting for my country. Also, I felt sad because he cared so much that he would give his life for his own country. I felt so many different feelings while reading this poem. Some of those feelings were happiness, sorrow, gladness and gratitude. This poem also helped me realize how lucky most of us are to live in the land of the free and live life to the fullest. Also, that we have many people that love this country and that are willing to sacrifice their lives for all the other people. Those people who serve their countries just like the unknown Soldier are greatly respected for what they did for the stars and stripes. My opinion is those who are not scared to go to the battlefield and risk their lives are the bravest of this country. They have a choice whether to fight or not, and they choose to do so. They are not afraid to stand up for what is right and sacrifice their lives. The unknown Soldier paid a heavy price while fighting for his countrys democracy. Although the unknown Soldier lies quietly at his resting place, the good deed and the bravery he showed for his fellow countrymen will live on and never be forgotten. Many admire people like the unknown Soldier and will always remember what they do to give us freedom! This poem helps me reflect on my life because I dont have to live in fear from day to day that my freedom will be taken away and I wont be able to live life as I want. Also, I know many people care for my rights and for other peoples rights. Sincerely, Mary Catherine SmithA 13-year-old’s thoughts on an unknown Soldier The Unknown Soldier By J.P. Dunn Although unknown he was not alone, The night he passed away; A mother touched his heart and lips While his guardian angel led his soul away To the far off better land. Across the trackless plains When all will meet again those Who are absent from home today He gave his live for Democracy To cement the hearts of men, That all alike might share Full freedom in every land He fought beneath the stars and stripes For the country he loved so well; In the Flanders Fields in France Our gallant hero fell As a token of true friendship We beautify his grave In the cemetery at Arlington Where the flowers gently wave; We promise as we kneel beside him Beneath the elms quiet shade, That his flag of yesterday We hold in ecstasy today Mary Catherine Smith

PAGE GOSPORT 6 November 20, 2009 New bill should help military spouses with relocation bureaucracy Story, photo by Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterPresident Barack Obama recently signed the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act that is intended to ease the bureaucracy that military spouses endure with relocations. The bill allows military spouses who relocate out of a state with their service members on military orders to have the option to claim the same state of domicile as their active-duty spouses, regardless of where they are stationed. In the past, each time a military family moved to a different state, the spouse was subject to unnecessary and often expensive changes, proponents of the bill said. Relocation and deployment specialists at Naval Air Station Pensacola are waiting to get the details of the bill that was signed on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. It gives them more options with regard to paying taxes and getting tags, said Pam Banks, a relocation and deployment specialist at NASP. The bill will amend the Service Members Civil Relief Act that, among other things, allows service members to use the same drivers licenses, voting cards and state tax procedures when they relocate. Now those same rights will apply to spouses who often had to shift through mounds of paperwork to determine different state tax procedures and incur expensive changes every time they relocated. Residents of Florida, for example, do not have a state income tax. However, when a couple relocates to a state with state income tax, often there are questions about how the tax should be handled. The bill gives couples the option on where they want to declare residency. Other changes like having to get a new drivers license within 30 days of locating in some states would also be an option for spouses. Im still researching the extent of the act, Banks said, adding details of the new legislation should be arriving at FFSC shortly. It will save a lot of hassle. Kathy Sims, a relocation and deployment specialist at NASP, said this is another example of how much has improved for military families in the past decade. There are more things available than they have ever had in the U.S. military, she said. In addition to helping families relocate, there are services that help spouses with job leads at their new location, including help with resume writing. Sims said it makes her feel proud when she sees legislation that helps military members and their families. Word of the new legislation pleased Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission, the nations largest military family organization. By signing the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act, the president is easing the cumbersome bureaucratic hurdles that military spouses are forced to endure with every relocation, the organization said. Military spouses and their families serve and sacrifice with their troops every day, officials with Families United said. (We) will continue working to ensure that their sacrifice for this country is made as easy as possible and that the families that support our men and women in uniform are taken care of while their loved ones serve this nation. The organization went on to say this legislation represents a significant step forward for military families, and Families United applauds President Obama for signing it into law.Federal officials pledge support for hiring veterans under Obama directiveBy Gerry J. Gilmore American Forces Press ServiceWASHINGTON Senior federal officials recently pledged their support of President Barack Obamas directive to increase the hiring of military veterans. Obama signed the executive order Nov. 9 that calls on each federal agency to establish a veterans employment program office designed to help former service members get through the maze of paperwork as they apply for federal positions. It also mandates that agencies train personnel specialists on veteran employment policies. The order also directs federal agencies to work with the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to develop and apply technologies designed to help disabled veterans. Also recently Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis appeared at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce event where she told civilian employers they should consider military veterans as employees of choice. Solis said establishing a veterans program office within most federal agencies is part of a program designed to transform the federal government into the model employer of Americas veterans. America owes a great debt to its military veterans, Veterans Affairs Deputy Secretary W. Scott Gould said at the press conference. We can reach out to them with something as simple, as pragmatic, as practical as a job; a good job in government, Gould said. And, veterans hard-won experience, he said, constitutes an asset we can now bring into government. It is imperative, Gould said, that government agencies assist veterans to become aware of government jobs, help veterans translate their military skills into civilian parlance, and to help them adjust to their new civilian environment. Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry told reporters that the president directed him to do right by our veterans. Americas veterans are valued, they are experienced, and they are trained, Berry said. Consequently, he said, it would be foolish not to provide veterans with more opportunities to continue to serve in the federal workforce after military service. And so, we want to make sure that they know they are welcome and we will have a job for them, Berry said. We will find one that matches their skills, their passions and their interests and their abilities. After finding the right job, he said, each veteran will be mentored to help them adapt and transition into the civilian work culture so that they can succeed. The governmentwide Council on Veterans Employment, chaired by Solis and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, will play a key role in the veterans hiring program, Berry said. Solis and Shinsekis influence, vision and leadership will make the program a success, Berry said. OPM plans to release a list of the numbers of veterans working at federal agencies. And our goal is to have every one of those numbers increase, so that those percentages go up, Berry said. The United States arguably has the best-trained, best-equipped and best-led military force the world has ever seen, said Gail McGinn, acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. The presidents veterans employment initiative will showcase the leadership and technical skills our military members have to offer, McGinn said, and will bring back that wonderful talent into our civilian workforce. The Defense Department already is the largest federal employer of military veterans, McGinn noted. Today, about 342,000 defense civilians are veterans, she said, making up about 45 percent of the departments civilian workforce. I work side by side with veterans every day, McGinn said. The skills veterans learned in the service, she said, serve them very, very well working within the Department of Defense. The department has two Web sites that provide employment information for veterans, as well as a toll-free phone number where they can talk to career advisors, she said. The department, McGinn said, also provides transition programs for separating military members that feature resume writing, skills assessments, interviewprocess training, and jobs-search techniques. We also provide special help to our wounded, ill and injured service members whose careers have been cut short due to the injuries received in Iraq or Afghanistan, she said, through the Hiring Heroes career fairs. Thirty one of these career fairs, she said, have been run across the United States since 2005. The largest of the fairs, conducted in June at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here, attracted more than 570 job seekers, McGinn said. The career fairs, she said, provide service members, many of whom still are recovering from wounds, the opportunity to visit with potential employers, get onthe-spot interviews, and often, job offers. At DoD, we are extremely proud of our service members and fully aware of the value that they bring to the federal government, McGinn said. The interagency process launched by Obamas executive order will clear a pathway for more federal jobs for our service members, McGinn said, and will allow them to look throughout the federal government to find the right fit and the best federal job for them. The Department of Homeland Securitys mission of securing the homeland requires dedicated people willing to do whatever it really takes to get the job done, said Jeff Neal, DHSs chief human capital officer. Military veterans, Neal said, have all the types of qualifications that we are looking for in DHS, and they have proven time and time again, when their country has called on them, they are ready to respond. Neal said his agency plans to employ 50,000 military veterans by 2012. We want to show the veterans of America that DHS is one of the places where you are welcome, where you are valued, where you can build a second career and continue your service to America, he said.

Diabetes directly affects the lives of millions of Americans and their families. While no cure exists, medical advancements are continually producing new, more effective treatments to control the disease. Individuals who manage their diabetes properly can lower their risk of complications and live productive, normal lives. During National Diabetes Month, we recommit to educating Americans about the warning signs of diabetes, and help those with the condition to mitigate the effects of this devastating disease. The two common forms of diabetes are known as type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes occurs when an individuals immune system destroys insulin-producing cells. The outlook for those with type 1 diabetes has dramatically improved in the past few decades due to a host of innovations. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent form of diabetes and usually affects individuals age 40 and older, and those who are overweight, inactive, or have a family history of the disease. Every day, 10 children in this country are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a staggering statistic that reflects the growing epidemic of obesity in our country. Preventive care is the simplest way to avoid diabetes and its complications. A healthy diet, combined with daily exercise, has been shown to dramatically reduce incidence of this disease. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans, as well as the elderly, are at greater risk of developing diabetes during their lifetimes. As a nation, we must ensure that all Americans know the warning signs of this disease, and if diagnosed, have access to affordable, quality medical care to help control it. While diabetes is a complex and challenging disease, dedicated researchers continue to make important discoveries. This month, we honor those who have made these successes possible, support those who are battling diabetes, and rededicate ourselves to sustaining Federal investments in research and education programs that improve the prevention and treatment of this disease. Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2009 as National Diabetes Month. I encourage citizens, medical institutions, Government and social service agencies, businesses, non-profit organizations, and other interested groups to join in activities that help prevent, treat and manage diabetes.

Diabetes is a major cause of heart disease and stroke and a leading cause of leg and foot amputations unrelated to injury, kidney failure, and new cases of blindness in adults. However, people with diabetes can lower their risk of complications by following important steps to control the disease: Talk to your healthcare provider about how to manage your blood glucose (A1C), blood pressure, and cholesterol. Get both the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines as soon as they are available. For those with diabetes, it is important to ask for the shot version of both vaccines. In addition, talk to your health care provider about a pneumonia (pneumococcal) shot. People with diabetes are more likely to die from pneumonia or influenza than people who do not have diabetes. Stay at a healthy weight and engage in moderate physical activity for two hours and 30 minutes each week or vigorous physical activity for one hour and 15 minutes each week. Be sure to add muscle strengthening activities on two or more days each week. Physical activity can help you control your weight, blood glucose, and blood pressure, as well as raise your good cholesterol and lower your bad cholesterol. Obesity is a major risk factor During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States, and this is a major factor but not the only factor in the increasing rate of newly diagnosed cases of diabetes. Population increases in diabetes have coincided with increases in obesity, and the type 2 diabetes epidemic is believed to be largely a result of the increase in obesity levels. Diagnosed diabetes has increased, particularly in overweight and obese individuals, and improvements in diabetes awareness and enhanced detection are occurring among the most obese. Ways you can help prevent diabetes Prediabetes is a condition in which individuals have blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. In 2007, at least 57 million American adults were estimated to have prediabetes. People with prediabetes have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. However, progression to diabetes among those with prediabetes is not inevitable. Recent studies have shown that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of the disease by losing 5 to 7 percent of their body weight. You can do that by eating healthier and getting moderate physical activity for 150 minutes each week or vigorous physical activity for 75 minutes each week. The development and delivery of lifestyle interventions to people at risk for diabetes are needed to stop the rise in new cases of diabetes. From Centers for Disease Control and PreventionDiabetes is a leading cause of kidney failure, blindness and amputations, and a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes, and about 6 million of them are unaware of their disease. With obesity on the rise, millions more are at risk of developing diabetes.November is American Diabetes MonthNew cases of diabetes linked to rising obesity ratesThe Defendant The judge read the charges, then asked, “Are you the defendant in this case?” “No sir, your honor, sir,” replied Bob, “I’ve got a lawyer to do the defendin’.

A meter will use the blood to give you a number which is known as the blood glucose level. It is usually checked before meals, after meals, and sometimes at bedtime. People who take insulin usually need to check their glucose more often. Snapshot: facts about diabetes, America’s seventh leading cause of deathHow many Americans have diabetes and pre-diabetes? 23.6 million Americans have diabetes 7.8 percent of the U.S. population. Of these, 5.7 million do not know they have the disease. Each year, about 1.6 million people ages 20 or older are diagnosed with diabetes. The number of people diagnosed with diabetes has risen from 1.5 million in 1958 to 17.9 million in 2007, an increase of epidemic proportions. It is estimated that 57 million adults age 20 and older have pre-diabetes. What is the prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes by age? 23.5 million Americans ages 20 or older have diabetes 10.7 percent of this age group. 12.2 million Americans ages 60 or older have diabetes 23.1 percent of this age group. What is the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in youth? 186,300 people under age 20 have type 1 and type 2 diabetes 0.2 percent of this age group. What is the prevalence of diabetes by race/ethnicity? Non-Hispanic whites 14.9 million; 9.8 percent of all non-Hispanic whites aged 20 and older have diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes. African Americans 3.7 million; 14.7 percent of all non-Hispanic blacks age 20 and older have diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes. Non-Hispanic blacks are about 1.8 times more likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites 20 years and older. Hispanics/Latinos 10.4 percent of Hispanics/Latinos ages 20 or older have diagnosed diabetes. The overall risk for death among people with diabetes is about double that of people without diabetes.

On Oct. 29, NH Pensacola named its top Sailors of the Year (for FY09) at a luncheon at the Crosswinds at Corry Station. The Senior Sailor of the Year is HM1 Marquita Y. Culley of radiology. The Junior SoY is HM2 Sally R. Griffin of the Plans, Operations and Medical Intelligence (POMI) department. The Sailor of the Year is HM3 James L. Aldridge of Naval Branch Health Clinic, Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC). The Blue Jacket SoY is HN Jevelle Moore of the physical therapy/occupational therapy department. HM1(SW) Culley, leading petty officer of radiology, is described as having superior leadership ability that enhances the professional and technical development of 22 junior Sailors, two reservists and 19 civilians under her tutelage, said the departments leading senior enlisted member, HMC(FMF) Kari Ferguson. The petty officer manages a $2.7 million annual budget and maintains cognizance of $5 million in equipment supporting more than 150,000 hospital beneficiaries. Her tireless efforts were paramount in the providing of more than 77,000 radiological exams without delay or interruption to patient care despite a 20 percent decrease in manpower due to deployments. Culley oversaw and managed Sailors in the purging of more than 4,400 pounds of X-ray film resulting in a 20 percent increase of storage space in preparation for the departments digital archiving system. As a person who consistently seeks ways to improve patient care and safety, Culleys efforts in organizing a 24-hour duty section, and on-call watch operating room watches, provides continuous emergency services and radiological support. Culley, known as a problem-solver who possesses an outside the box mentality also provides collateral duty as a Volunteer Income Tax assistant, Combined Federal Campaign representative, and First Line Leadership Training coordinator where she teaches various topics to junior Sailors and officers. Within the community, she volunteers her time with the Pine Forest High School Junior ROTC drill meet; and mentoring second grade students at Edgewater Elementary. She also serves as the command outreach coordinator where she coordinates community service opportunities throughout the area resulting in 105 Sailors volunteering more than 435 off-duty hours of 40 separate projects. HM2 Griffin, leading petty officer for the POMI department, uses her exceptional planning and prioritizing to handle the tremendous responsibility in support of command individual augmentees (IAs) deploying throughout the world; and in support of their families remaining in the area. She has accomplished more personally and professionally than anyone in her position in the last three years, said HMCM Ronald Edquilang. She is the go-to person for all deployment requirements and has been the key to the successful operation of POMI. Griffin maintains strict quality assurance on database and deployment readiness of more than 1,070 active-duty personnel from the hospital and its 12 branch health clinics. Due to her detailed nature and unrelenting pursuit of excellence, POMI successfully deployed 148 Sailors in support of 45 Navy medicine taskers; and eased the transition of 90 personnel returning to the command from deployments. She also serves as the assistant family care plan coordinator identifying and notifying service members families in need of care plans. In the community, Griffin volunteered for the Mustin Beach and internal beach clean-ups, the annual Fiesta Fun Run and the Animal Foster Home for IA Sailors, a group that cares for pets of currently deployed service members. She currently is pursing an associates degree in pre-veterinary medicine at Pensacola Junior College. HM3 Aldridge, a certified member of the sick call screener team at the NATTC branch clinic and its medical records petty officer, is the Junior SoQ. He has conducted a multitude of first string indoctrination health-clinic briefs for both NATTC and Marine Air Training Support Group staff; and has provided medical coverage for six MATSG-21 and four NATTC firefighting physical training exercises involving more than 800 Sailors and Marines. An invaluable member of the military sick call team, Aldridge assisted health care providers in the treatment of more than 300 patients monthly, performing triage, primary assessment and entries into the hospitals computer records. His efforts were essential in the clinic achieving 98 percent operational medical readiness. Aldridge is self-motivated, resourceful, persistent and constantly personifies the high standards, of the United States Navy, said HMC David Lockard, leading chief of the clinic. Within the community, the Sailor volunteered his time as a fire fighter and first responder for the Myrtle Grove Volunteer Fire Department; mentoring adolescents with Big Brothers of America; and assisted and mentored students at Bellview Baptist Church. HN Moore, the Blue Jacket SoQ, has provided complex treatment sessions and fabrication of customer orthotics for 1,200 patients for the physical therapy and occupational therapy department demonstrating the ability to quickly assimilate complex skills and implement his knowledge to overcome the challenging technical aspects of the specialty clinic, said HMC Victor Alonzo, leading chief. As the departments training representative, he implemented military and therapy training plans; directly supervised two military assistants; and ensured compliance and timeliness of all Department of Defense mandated training. As a dedicated educator, he personally instructed occupational therapy specific exercises and modalities to six West Florida High School students from February to April 2009; and facilitated monthly nurse/corpsmen orientation classes for new PT/OT staff members. Within the community, Moore volunteered with Big Brothers & Big Sisters to provide afterschool mentoring of students from Navy Point Elementary; served breakfast for a month to the homeless at Pensacola Lutheran Church; and was parade marshal for the Fiesta Day Parade in downtown Pensacola. November 20, 2009 SPOTLIGHTGOSPORT B2PAGEFrom Felicia Sturgis NOMI PAOThe Naval Operational Medicine Institute (NOMI) Civilian of the Quarter for the July 2009-September 2009 period is Thomas F. Robertson, lead medical instrument technician, of the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI) hyperbaric medicine department. He is responsible for managing operation and maintenance of the hyperbaric chamber and serves as lead maintenance supervisor for the Department. He also serves as a lead diving supervisor during clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments and emergency treatments for decompression sickness and all other dysbaric illnesses. Two of many examples of Robertsons key support of the NOMI mission during this past quarter: He identified a defective system component in the hyperbaric chamber, found a replacement component, tested it and directed its installation; allowing the NAMI hyperbaric chamber to remain 100 percent operational and ensured the continuation of the systems NAVFAC certification. He researched and directed the set-up of the planned maintenance system for the newly acquired Fly Away Recompression Chamber to ensure the hyperbaric departments operational status during the upcoming chamber and dive system overhaul. Ongoing hyperbaric chamber function is key not only to the NAMI hyperbaric medicine departments primary mission of emergency treatments for decompression sickness and all other dysbaric illnesses, it is critical to NAMIs ability to support clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments and the upcoming cooperative study with the DVA of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for combat-related traumatic brain injuries.NOMI selects Civilian of the QuarterNaval Hospital Pensacola names its top Sailors of the Year Story, photos, by Rod Duren NHP PAOThe top four Sailors of the Year (SoYs) at Naval Hospital Pensacola are a mirror image of the command as a whole: taking direct care of patients and making sure those Sailors deploying and their families are watched over attentively.

GOSPORT November 20, 2009PAGEB3 USS Constitution is America’s ‘ship of state’By MC1 Eric Brown USS Constitution Public Affairs CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD, Mass. (NNS) USS Constitution recently became Americas Ship of State. USS Constitutions primary mission will remain education and public outreach and any Ship of State functions will be an adjunct to the ships primary mission, according the National Defense Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2010 in section 1022. It is the sense of Congress that the president, vice president, executive branch officials and members of Congress should use the USS Constitution for the conducting of pertinent matters of state, such as hosting visiting heads of state, signing legislation relating to the armed forces and signing maritime related treaties. Constitutions 71st and current commanding officer, Cmdr. Timothy Cooper, could not be more excited about this law signed by President Barrack Obama, after the House of Representatives and the Senate passed the bill earlier in October. I am really proud and humbled to be a part of this honor, Cooper said. USS Constitution has always been the most visible reminder of the beginnings of our Navy. Now, USS Constitution is a visible reminder of America, and all that we stand for. Constitution was launched into the Boston Harbor on Oct. 21, 1797. In her years of active service, from 1798-1855, the three-masted wooden frigate fought in the Quasi-War with France, the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812. Today Old Ironsides is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, has a permanent crew of 73 active-duty U.S. Navy Sailors and is visited by nearly half a million people every year. The origins of Old Ironsides status as Americas Ship of State were in July of 1997 when then Cmdr. Chris Melhuish, Constitution's 65th commanding officer, had a vision for the future of the ship, shortly before he took command. The idea struck me after Cmdr. Michael Beck (USS Constitution's 64th commanding officer) challenged me to create my vision for the ship, following his vision, which was to sail the ship for the first time in 116 years, for Constitutions bicentennial, said Melhuish. The status of the ship had inherently changed after that historic sail, and Constitution should no longer be thought of as a pierside museum exhibit. The best description of the ship was ship of state,Melhuish said. That was the vision, and then began the long process of translating that vision into a concept. In October of 2006, he laid out that concept on paper, which was endorsed by the Congress of the Naval Order of the United States, and by Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England. Then-Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy sponsored the bill in 2008, but it did not make final passage into the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009, which would take another year. The people of this country, through Congress, have done the right thing, which should have been done in 1815, said Melhuish, referring to a National Intelligencer article that appeared in 1815. Let us keep Old Ironsides at home, the newspaper author opined, shortly after Constitution won a string of victories against her British adversaries in the War of 1812. She has, literally, become a nations ship, and should be preserved. Not as a sheer hulk in ordinary (for she is no ordinary vessel); but, in honorable pomp as a glorious monument of her own, and other naval victories. One hundred and 94 years later, we have recognized our greatest ship, Melhuish said. I'm very, very happy about that.

From Pensacola Symphony OrchestraPensacola Symphony Orchestra (PSO) will once again join with the Pensacola Choral Society and the University of West Florida Singers to perform the holiday classic George Frideric Handels Messiah Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church. This seasons presentation of Messiah brings two of Pensacolas most celebrated vocal talents in the soloist line up. Jane Redding, soprano, has performed with operas and orchestras across the United States and Asia. Tenor soloist, Leo Day, is minister of music at Olive Baptist Church and an adjunct voice faculty member at the University of West Florida. Wanda Brister, mezzo-soprano, and Andrew Elliott, baritone, round out the soloist ensemble. Brister is associate professor of voice at Florida State University where Elliott was her student. As a performer, this is one of those scores that is full of favorite moments that we look forward to, said Peter Rubardt, music director. I imagine that most everybody struggles at times with the stress and chaos of the holidays, Rubardt said. I dont think there is a more enjoyable or uplifting way to connect with the true spirit of the holidays than to experience Handels Messiah. Tickets are on sale through Dec. 4. Reserved tickets are $25 and general admission tickets are $20. Call the PSO office at 435-2533 or order online at www.pensacolasymphony.com.

McKamey Center ****Lady of Loreto ChapelBy Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterIts an annual event at Barrancas National Cemetery at Naval Air Station Pensacola hundreds of Christmas wreaths are placed on grave sites as part of the Wreaths Across America project. Last year more than 1,000 wreaths were placed on graves at Barrancas, said Buster Hartford, who is organizing the event in Pensacola. Its the fourth year for the wreath drive and every year the numbers keep getting larger. Hartford said he would like to eventually collect 5,000 wreaths locally, which would be a tractortrailer load. The wreaths with the help of local volunteers will be laid Dec. 12, starting at 9 a.m. A ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. Each year a different section of the cemetery is designated to receive the wreaths since there are roughly 37,000 grave sites at the cemetery. Hartford said this year one of the older sections near the main office will get the wreaths. The Dec. 12 ceremony will coincide with the laying of the wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. There will also be wreaths laid at 350 sites nationwide and across the world, including seven wreaths thrown from ships. Last year 105,000 wreaths were collected and laid. The ceremony at NASP will include a tribute to the unknown Soldier and Rosie the Riveter, Hartford said. Wreaths are given to local families who had a family member die this year in Iraq or Afghanistan. Its kind of amazing that even with the way the economy is today, people still want to honor the veterans, Hartford said. Its quite heartwarming. The Wreaths Across America project was started 18 years ago. People can continue to order wreaths until Nov. 25. The wreaths cost $15. Hartford said people can order the wreaths to be placed at Barrancas through the Wreaths Across America.org Web site. They can also order wreaths to be placed at grave sites of individuals who are buried at other cemeteries. But Hartford said he would like people to call him if the wreaths are going somewhere other than Barrancas so he can arrange for those people to pick the wreaths up. Hartford can be reached at 341-7937. People can also order wreaths through several local groups who are sponsoring wreath collections.Among the 15 or so groups sponsoring the drive is the Young Marines of Pensacola chapter that has been selling the wreaths since early October. The young Marines will also help lay the wreaths on Dec. 12.
