Reminder: No cell phone use while

driving onboard NAS Pensacola


In recent weeks there have been several instances
of drivers onboard NASP disregarding the base pol-
icy on cell phone usage while driving.
As per NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Bill
Reavey and Commander-in-Chief President
Barack Obama, drivers on any military installation,
and operators of government-owned, leased or rent-
ed vehicles on or off a Navy installation, may not


use cell phones while the vehicle is in operation.
President Obama signed an executive order Oct.

Ens. John B. Cook always wanted to be
a pilot like his father, Capt.
James Cook
At 23 he is on track to
achieve that goal thanks,
in part, to the Naval
Reserve Officer Training
Corps (NROTC).
He came to Naval Air
Station Pensacola in June
fresh out of college with
an aerospace engineering
degree. He was debt free
and had a job.
Cook's decision to
choose NROTC is part of
a growing trend in the ns. Jo
Navy. The interest in
NROTC has increased significantly in the
past couple years, according to officials
with the Naval Service Training
Command, which oversees the units
across the United States. NSTC, headquar-
tered at Naval Station Great Lakes in
Illinois, is part of the Naval Education and
Training Command, located onboard


n


NASP.
"We are very pleased that more young
Americans know about the opportunities
NROTC provides and are applying for the
program," said Dr. Jill Stein, the Navy's
program manager for
NROTC. "NROTC is a
great fit for those seeking
careers of service."
Stein, who manages the
program out of NASP, said
the Navy believes the
increased interest repre-
sents "this generation's
commitment to service as
well as the desire to pay for
college."
According to NSTC,
2,825 scholarships were
offered this year and more
B. Cook than 1,250 were accepted.
Navy nurse degree scholar-
ships were offered to 208 candidates with
more than 120 accepted.
The entire enrollment in NROTC units
nationwide this year is expected to
increase by 17 percent. A total of 22,000
applications were started and of those

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

in 1856 and at night still shines for Sailors 27
miles out at sea.
Established in 1921 as the Air Station
News, the name Gosport was adopted in
1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by
flight instructors in the early days of naval
aviation to give instructions and directions to
their students. The name "Gosport" was
derived from Gosport, England (originally
God's Port), where the voice tube was invent-
ed.

Homefront in Focus: Lessons from Fort Hood


By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor

The military community was
rocked recently as we watched
events unfold at Fort Hood.
Perhaps, like me, you sat
glued to the reports, stunned that
this happened on a military
installation by a member of the
armed forces.
Our hearts are grieved as we
share in the pain of our sister
branch.
While the investigation con-
tinues "lessons learned" are
already emerging.
Two lessons immediately
jump out to me; emergency pre-
paredness and connecting with
your ombudsman.
Pvt. Joseph Foster, a gunshot
victim of the attack, spoke of his
experience on a recent news
report.
"We're a community; we are
like a giant family. When any-
thing like this happens we come
together tighter than ever. We are
stronger because of it.
"The FRG and Care Team


have been great. The FRG leader
called my wife and said, 'We're
getting everyone rounded up.
We're going to get you to a safe
spot, now.' They called faster
than I could get a call out to my
wife. That was great."
Do you have an emergency
plan for you and your family?
Let me pose a few scenarios for
you to consider.
If you were at the commissary
when the base is locked down
with your children at school or
day care, who would pick them
up, who would meet them at the
bus?
Perhaps news breaks that there
is an incident at your base or in
your deployed service member's
command. Do you know what to
do? How will you verify your
service member's safety?
What if an earthquake, fire,
hurricane or other disaster strikes
while you are away from your
service member or children? Do
you have a plan to communicate
and reconnect?
Too farfetched to consider?
Let me be more practical.


Navy Legal: Make sure to


Beth Wilson
What if you have an emer-
gency illness or are in a car acci-
dent while your service member
is deployed? Who do you have in
place to quickly care for your
children?
Every American citizen needs
an emergency plan, but it is
imperative for military families
to have that plan in place.
Visit https://www. cnic.navy.
mil/ CNIC_HQ Site/Operation
Prepare/index.htm for resources
and information to develop your
emergency plan.

review family


Check your information for
accuracy on NFAAS (Navy
Family Accountability and
Assessment System) at
www.navyfamily.navy.mil. Take
time to familiarize yourself with
the purpose and support on this
site.
The structure of the Navy is
such that our ombudsman is the
crisis management resource for
families.
In the event of a natural disas-
ter, national or command emer-
gency your ombudsman is the
one who will have official infor-
mation, resource, instruction and
support for you.
Your ombudsman is trained
and prepared to serve the com-
mand and command families.
All commands, deploying or
non-deploying, have an appoint-
ed ombudsman.
I recently met a Navy wife
who is halfway through a
deployment but has not heard
from her ombudsman.
The main challenge of every
ombudsman is connecting with
spouses.


Your ombudsman does not, let
me repeat that; your ombudsman
does not receive your informa-
tion.
While they are authorized to
have certain information about
your Sailor (name, rank etc.), due
to privacy issues they are not
provided information about your.
Do not assume they do not
care about you or are not doing
their job. Help them do their job
by contacting them.
You can find your ombuds-
man's contact information (e-
mail, cell phone, Web page) from
your Sailor, the local Fleet and
Family Support Center and your
command Web site.
Let the tragic events at Fort
Hood spur us to ensure we are
ready to face what the future
holds with an emergency plan
that will see us through success-
fully.
To our extended military fam-
ily at Fort Hood, know that you
are in our prayers, in our
thoughts, in our hearts.
We pray for your healing in
body and spirit. God bless you.


care plan before deployment


By Lt. Jeffrey Harper
JAGC, USN

Petty Officer Jones, a single parent
with custody of his two children, is
preparing to deploy.
He intends for his parents to care for
his children while he's gone and has
completed a family care plan to that
effect, as well as power of attorney
allowing his parents to care for the chil-
dren in his absence.
Shortly after being boots-on-ground
in Afghanistan, the ex-Mrs. Jones
arrives at his parents' house and takes
the children.
Petty Officer Smith, a non-custodial


single parent of a precocious toddler, is
preparing to deploy. She intends for her
parents to visit her son in her absence,
on the same schedule as the visitation
she is allowed. She arrives in Djibouti.
Christmas rolls around and her par-
ents show up at Mr. Smith's apartment
to pick up the tot for the visitation Petty
Officer Smith is due that year. Mr.
Smith refuses to allow the children to go
with the grandparents.
In both cases, the service members'
desires were frustrated. So what went
wrong? Petty Officers Jones and Smith
did not ensure the court handling their
child custody arrangements took into
account their military status.


They were not aware of or did not
heed NAVADMIN 204/07 of Aug. 13,
2007, paragraph 2.D and OPNAVINST
1740.4C of 7 May 2007, paragraph 4.c.
As a result, the court orders govern-
ing the custody and visitation rights of
the children were at odds with the fami-
ly care plan and the court orders will
always prevail.
How could Petty Officers Jones and
Smith avoided this situation?
Per paragraph 4 of OPNAVINST
1740.4C, "single, domestically separat-
ed and divorced service members with
minor children will contact a legal assis-
tance office for advice and assistance in
evaluating the effectiveness of their pro-


posed family care plan and complying
with any legal formalities necessary to
prevent unwanted challenges to custody
and support arrangements."
Be proactive with your needs and
ensure that there is a court order setting
out what will happen when you are
deployed and cannot visit your children
or cannot have custody.
If the court order is already in place
and these issues have not been
addressed, you are taking a risk that you
will find yourself in the situations
described above. Proactively seek to get
the court order modified to address the
unique issues that go with your military
lifestyle.

S even members of the 2009 class of NASA astro-
naut candidates (ASCANS) recently completed water
survival, aviation physiology and aviation indoctrina-
tion flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola.
The initial cadre of NASA astronauts in 1959 were
all military pilots, so each had already gotten flight
and survival training. Today's astronauts are a mix of
military and civilians and have diverse backgrounds.
"As we began to select civilians, it made sense to
give them similar training to what the military candi-
dates brought to the program," said Duane Ross,
NASA's manager for astronaut selection and training
at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. "The Navy
survival and flight training is exactly what we need-
ed, they're easy to deal with, and they were able to
work with the ASCANS' schedule."
The entire ASCANS class consists of 14 aspiring
astronauts who started their training by honing their
survival skills with the Center for Security Forces
(CENSECFOR) detachment in Brunswick, Maine.
The group traveled to the Navy's 12,500-acre
Rangeley mountain wilderness training facility,
where they learned land survival, navigation and field


medicine.
"We usually get to train new aviators at the begin-
ning of their careers, but these NASA candidates are
already experts in their chosen fields as all of the
civilians hold advanced degrees," said HT1 Michael
Pavlovick, Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape
instructor at CENSECFOR. "These guys learned very
quickly and have an amazing work ethic. Their two-
day field survival exercise went extremely well; I can
see why they were chosen for the astronaut program."
Following their land survival training in Maine, the
seven non-aviators in the class traveled to NAS
Pensacola for water survival, aviation physiology and
flight training, including flight training in simulators,
familiarization flights and instrument training flights
in the T-6A Texan II turboprop aircraft.
Lt. Col. Kenneth Devero, the training officer for
Training Airwing Six, was the project manager for
the ASCANS during their month-and-a-half stay at
NAS Pensacola. "The candidates training with us in
Pensacola are mission specialists, not pilots so
they need to receive flight training very similar to
what we give our naval flight officers," said Devero.
"Although they don't get the full NFO syllabus, the
training provides a great aviation orientation for the
ASCANS."


"I expected the flight training to be tough," said
Dr. Janette Epps, an aerospace engineer who worked
for the CIA before applying with NASA. "But with
our abbreviated syllabus they really throw a lot at you
and expect you to learn quickly. Since we will be fly-
ing in the T-38 Talon jet trainer on a regular basis
with NASA, this is exactly what we need."
The NASA class of 2009 is focused on the
International Space Station, as current plans call for
the space shuttle to be phased out by the time they
complete their training. The term "international" also
applies to this class of ASCANS; in addition to the
nine United States candidates, five international
members, including three Japanese and two
Canadian candidates, have joined the class for a total
of 14.
With their aviation indoctrination complete in mid-
November, the ASCANS returned to the Johnson
Space Center in Houston to continue their astronaut
training, which includes scientific and technical
briefings, intensive instruction in International Space
Station systems, extravehicular activity (space walks)
and robotics. The entire ASCAN syllabus takes
about 18 months to complete.

Enlisted naval aviation pilots bid farewell


By Lt. Brenda Way
Special to Gosport


s one retired enlisted pilot

described it, the weekend of the

Blue Angels Homecoming Air

Show represented the end of an era. An era not

understood by many.


Excitement filled the air as the
group, mostly over 80, mingled.
But they talk like they flew
together yesterday.
Their minds still sharp as
tacks. They are an elite few.
The enlisted naval aviation
pilots have an impressive 65-
year history of accomplishments
and contributions to naval avia-
tion having served in every
conflict from World War I to the
Vietnam War. In any capacity
imaginable they are legend.
Walking through the National
Naval Aviation Museum at NAS
Pensacola, those of us honored to
attend their final reunion Nov.
12-15 with fathers, grandfathers,
uncles and friends received a
world-class tour.
Hearing time and time again
"I flew that."
Unlike naval aviation today,
the era that raised these men
came with varied assignments.
Most flew more than 15 dif-
ferent types of aircraft in their
career; whatever the U.S. Navy
asked them to fly.
Master Chief John Culbert
joked: "Whatever they gave me
the keys to that day, that's what I
flew."
It all began 1916 in Pensacola
where all 5,000 enlisted men
would receive their wings of
gold. The final class graduated in


1947.
Three went on to the rank of
admiral; all went on to achieve
great significance and shaped
aviation history.
Laughing they spoke of flight
pay received coming out of flight
school in the 1940s.
Just $105 per month; some
even received 50 cents per land-
ing. It wasn't much, even back
then. But enlisted pilots didn't
sign up to fly for the money.
The Silver Eagles are a rare
breed of Sailor. With less than
200 members left, they are near-
ing extinction.

Culbert and Palmer enlisted
pilots to the end
Culbert grew up in Dodge
City, Kan., during the Great
Depression. He joined the Navy
in Wichita on Dec. 6, 1940.
The Navy was an opportunity
to gain valuable skills while
serving his country. Little did he
know as a high school graduate
he would soon be one of the
small percentage of enlisted men
accepted into flight school.
He received his orders signed
by Adm. Chester W Nimitz,
Pacific commander, in 1945. He
began flight school as an aviation
mechanic second class and grad-
uated aviator pilot first class in
1947.


Culbert's career spanned 30
years. His service included patrol
squadron, drone control, air sea
rescue via sea planes and heli-
copters, admiral's pilot and sta-
tion administration pilot.
He was involved in several
evaluation projects, most notably
the evaluation of light water for
use in fire fighting by the naval
laboratory. He flew the UH2B to
dispense the light water, which is
now used for firefighting world-
wide.
Culbert speaks of a man over-
board alarm while attached to air
sea rescue. He received the call
while in the chief's mess
onboard the USS Wasp. Within
minutes he was airborne in his
HUP helicopter with a rescue
crewman.
The young ordnance man was
found and brought back to safe-
ty. Later that evening the young
Sailor brought a box of cigars as
a gift for saving his life.
When asked about the
extraordinary rescue Culbert
said: "I was just doing what I
was trained to do."
With qualification in 22 air-
craft, both fixed wing and heli-
copter, and 6,720 flight hours,
Culbert retired after 30 years of
service in July 1970. He
achieved the rank of master
chief
Harry Palmer grew up in
Connecticut, New York and
France. Attending school in
France and the United States set
him back and left him wanting
more.
Tired of school, he joined the
Navy in New York in 1937 after
completing his sophomore year.
Six years later he was accept-
ed into flight school at the rank
of air traffic controlman second
class.
He graduated in September


Bud Baudouin
1944 and received his wings of
gold. He was promoted to avia-
tor pilot first class. He went on to
get his GED and complete two
years of college.
Palmer qualified in 15 air-
planes and two helicopters log-
ging an impressive 12,000 hours.
His most memorable tour was
a trip to the Marshall Islands
after World War II. The mission
was to check for radioactivity.
Gamma rays had to be below a
certain level to get the people
back in their homes. It was
important to Palmer.
Palmer retired after 20 years
of service as a chief He went on
to work with the Boy Scouts of
America for several years.

The last to get wings
Bud Baudouin, from Silsbee,
Texas, joined the Navy inAugust
1940. Baudouin said about his
decision to join the navy:
"Things were not looking good
in England. I wanted to get in on
the ground floor before the
draft."
Baudouin received orders to
flight school in June 1945 as an
aviation metalsmith first class.
He graduated in December 1947,
the final group of enlisted pilots
to attend flight school and the


John Culbert


last to be pinned.
He attained the rate of aviator
pilot first class. The command-
ing officer said to him: "You are
the last of an era."
Baudouin started in utility and
transport as a pilot for the Blue
Angels Flight Demonstration
Team.
After receiving a commission
he was transferred to a ferry
squadron where he flew many
types of aircraft.
Baudouin believes enlisted
pilots had just as much skill as
any of his counterparts. Skill
demonstrated time and time
again by these brave men.
He tells of a day in San
Antonio, Texas, when he was
assigned to fly an air evac mis-
sion.
He made many split-second
decisions regarding the flight
plan, at times against the recom-
mendation of the air control
tower, ultimately saving a young
Marine's life.
"I knew that kid needed to get
to the hospital as fast as possi-
ble," Baudouin said. "My deter-
mination paid off."
Baudouin qualified in 24
planes and clocked 7,000 hours.
He retired in March 1961 at the
rank of lieutenant.

Doctor discusses Navy's role in detecting H1N1


By Gerry J. Gilmore

WASHINGTON (AFPS) -The
Navy played a key role last spring in
the discovery of the H1N1 influen-
za's presence in the United States,
according to a senior Navy medical
officer.
In April, technicians at the San
Diego-based Naval Health Research
Center (NHRC) encountered a puz-
zling influenza specimen provided
by a 10-year-old military family
member, said Navy Capt. (Dr.)
Tanis Batsel Stewart, director of
emergency preparedness and con-
tingency support at the Navy
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
The specimen contained the "A"
type of influenza virus that can
cause pandemics, Batsel Stewart
said, but it couldn't be sub-typed.
"It's very unusual not to be able
to sub-type an influenza virus," she
said in a recent phone interview with
American Forces Press Service.
The specimen, she said, was then
sent to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention in Atlanta
for more testing, where technicians
determined it was a new strain of
influenza virus.
A second specimen from a 9-
year-old girl that arrived at the
NHRC soon afterward was found to
be identical to the one submitted by
the military family member, Batsel
Stewart said. That specimen, too,
was sent to the CDC, where it was
determined to be the novel influenza
A H 1N1 virus, commonly known at
the time as "swine flu."
"That was a definite red flag -
that we have a new influenza strain
circulating that might very well
cause a pandemic, and obviously, it
has," she said.
The CDC activated its emer-
gency operations center to better
coordinate the public-health
response to H1N1 April 22. The
U.S. government declared a public
health emergency April 26, and
began aggressively implementing
the nation's pandemic response

plan.
The World Health Organization
announced June 11 that the spread
of the H1N1 virus had reached pan-
demic proportions, with cases
reported in 70 countries at the time.
President Barack Obama issued a
national emergency declaration on
H1N1 last month.
"By rapidly identifying the virus,
implementing public health meas-
ures, providing guidance for health
professionals and the general public
and developing an effective vaccine,
we have taken proactive steps to
reduce the impact of the pandemic
and protect the health of our citi-
zens," the president said in his dec-
laration.
The Washington-based Navy
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery is
the headquarters and center for
Navy medicine, while the NHRC is
a leading research and development
laboratory for the Defense
Department. The NHRC manages
and executes medical research,
development and test and evaluation
programs for the Naval Medical


Research Command in Silver
Spring, Md.; the Navy Medicine
Support Command in Jacksonville,
Fla.; and the Navy Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery.
The Naval Health Research
Center's respiratory diseases
research department conducts
active, laboratory-based surveil-
lance of infectious diseases that
affect military personnel and family
members, with an emphasis on res-
piratory illnesses. The department
also addresses the safety and effica-
cy of drgs and vaccines.
The Navy has for years conduct-
ed influenza and other infectious-
disease surveillance programs in
conjunction with the other U.S. mil-
itary services in partnership with
foreign nations and public health
organizations, Batsel Stewart said.
The U.S. military's infectious
disease research capability "is the
largest in the world," she said, not-
ing the U.S. maintains labs in Egypt,
Indonesia, Kenya, Peru and
Thailand that fall under the auspices
of the Department of Defense


Global Emerging Infections
Surveillance and Response System.
More than 100 countries, "from
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe," partici-
pate in the surveillance program,
Batsel Stewart said.
A presidential directive estab-
lished the response system, which
falls under the Armed Forces Health
Surveillance Center, in June 1996.
The directive expanded the Defense
Department's mission to include
support of global surveillance, train-
ing, research, and response to
emerging infectious disease threats.
It also charged the department to
strengthen its global disease-reduc-
tion efforts through centralized
coordination, improved preventive
health programs and epidemiologi-
cal capabilities, and enhanced
involvement with military treatment
facilities.
The Naval Health Research
Center's respiratory diseases
research department serves as the
Navy hub for the surveillance and
response system.
"We don't anticipate, at this


point, H1N1 becoming a severe
pandemic, causing a lot of deaths
and very severe illness," Batsel
Stewart said. "But, we've been
preparing for years within [the
Defense Department] and the Navy
and Navy medicine for something
along the lines of the pandemic of
the influenza of 1918, which was
horrendously severe."
To help in preventing the spread
of influenza viruses, Batsel Stewart
recommended that people:
Cough or sneeze into the crook
of their elbow, rather than into their
hand;
Wash their hands frequently;
Stay home if they feel ill;
Keep sick children at home; and
Distance themselves if they or
others are ill.
Public health officials have urged
citizens to obtain both H1N1 and
regular seasonal flu vaccines.
Defense Department officials say
the department will have enough
H1N1 vaccine available for service-
members and their families.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon's global
infectious disease surveillance net-
work watches for potential pandemics
as it also assists foreign partners.
Batsel Stewart recalled a previ-
ous duty assignment in Lima, Peru,
where she and her colleagues assist-
ed Peruvian health authorities in
identifying new strains of dengue
fever virus.
"Peru always thought that they
had one, maybe two strains of the
dengue fever virus circulating," said
Batsel Stewart, noting that the fever
has four strains. The U.S. medical
team discovered that Peru actually
has all four strains of dengue fever
virus. One of those strains, she
added, is dengue hemorrhagic fever,
causing victims to bleed internally
and sometimes externally.
"So, the Peruvian government
and the Peruvian public health sys-
tem was better able to respond to
some of the cases they were saying
they would not have recognized pre-
viously," Batsel Stewart said.


Physicians discuss lessons learned from dealing with H1N1 virus


WASHINGTON Senior medical officials who success-
fully slowed the spread of H1N1 flu virus at the U.S. Air Force
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., published what they
learned in an October article featured in the American Journal
of Preventive Medicine.
Air Force Lt. Col. (Dr.) Catherine Witkop, a preventive
medicine physician from the 10th Medical Group, told partici-
pants in a "DoDLive" bloggers roundtable yesterday that med-
ical officials at the academy acted quickly to set up a team to
look at some of the virus's characteristics.
"I was really pleased that we were able to capitalize on the
opportunity to actually learn more about the virus and provide
that information to the Centers for Disease Control, to the mil-
itary, [and] to the United States at large," she said.
Witkop and Air Force Col. (Dr.) Kenneth K. Knight, 10th
Medical Group commander, discussed what other institutions
may be able to do to manage H1N 1's spread. Witkop noted that
some of the lessons learned from the summer outbreak can
apply at other training facilities, such as Lackland Air Force
Base, Texas.
With a large population of trainees living in very close quar-
ters, Witkop said, controlling the virus's spread at Lackland and
limiting absenteeism from the six-week training period "is real-
ly crucial to completing that mission."
"So we've done our best to share as much information as
possible, as quickly as possible," she said, "since this is such a


timely issue."
During a four-week period in July, 11 percent of the Air
Force Academy's basic cadet population became ill. "There are
134 confirmed cases of H1N1 and 33 suspect cases, meaning
they had all the same symptoms, but were not tested," Witkop
said.
Many challenges had to be considered quickly, Knight said,
such as how to treat patients, how to limit interactions with oth-
ers, when to hospitalize, and how to isolate the cadets.
"It was a medical issue that had a huge implication to what
their job was about," he said. "We did lots of different
approaches as we were scrambling with the line leadership as
how to isolate, talking with CDC, (and) figuring out what the
appropriate treatment is," Knight said.
"And it appears, then," he added, "with any epidemiologic
conclusion, (that) what we did was effective."
Knight said the academy's medical group was careful to
share lessons learned through the outbreak's many phases.
"When we were in the thick of things, we were daily shar-
ing what our experience was with the public health department
downtown, with all the other local military medical facilities,
with the other academies, comparing notes as to what their
experiences were with Lackland (and) with the line leader-
ship," Knight said. "Our line leadership here was pushing
information up to the chief of staff of the Air Force. So near-
term, we were essentially getting out real-time information as


to what was going on, to share that experience."
Witkop spearheaded the article submission to the American
Journal of Peventive Medicine while sharing the lessons with
the CDC.
"We've shared this information with the CDC well before it
got published, so that they would have the information to adjust
the guidelines that they were publishing," Knight explained.
Isolation has proven to be a key factor in controlling the out-
break at the academy, Witkop said.
"Our current approach is ... to isolate the cadets; however,
they are self-isolating per the CDC's guidelines," she said. "So
they would go back to their dorm rooms, continuing until they
are seven days from onset of symptoms and 24 hours after
being symptom-free."
Both said public health education reminders are the key
ways academy officials are preventing another outbreak
among cadets, and that messages to wash hands, use sanitizers
and cover coughs are shared continuously.
Meanwhile, Witkop said, academy medical officials contin-
ue to monitor the situation closely and continue their public
health efforts.
"We're continuing to follow very closely ... the numbers of
cadets who are ill, to make sure that we're not approaching
another outbreak situation," she said. "We have daily reports
from all of our various clinics about the numbers of both cadets
and those in the community."

Thanksgiving: from local harvest to national holiday

ost Americans

are familiar

with the Pilgrim's

Thanksgiving

feast of 1621, but few realize that it

was not the first festival of its kind

in North America.


Long before Europeans
set foot in the Americas,
native peoples sought to
ensure a good harvest with
dances and rituals such as
the "Green Corn Dance"
of the Cherokees.
The first Thanksgiving
service known to be held
by Europeans in North
America occurred on May
27, 1578, in Newfound-
land, although earlier
church-type services were
probably held by
Spaniards in La Florida.
However, for British New
England, some historians
believe that the Popham
Colony in Maine conduct-
ed a Thanksgiving service
in 1607. In the same year,
Jamestown Colonists gave
thanks for their safe arrival,
and another service was
held in 1610 when a supply
ship arrived after a harsh
winter. Berkeley Hundred
settlers held a
Thanksgiving service in
accordance with their char-
ter which stated that the
day of their arrival in
Virginia should be
observed yearly as a day of
Thanksgiving, but within a
few years an Indian upris-
ing ended further services
(Dabney). Thus British
Colonists held several
Thanksgiving services in
America before the


Pilgrim's celebration in
1621.
The Pilgrims, with a
puritanical rejection of
public religious display,
held a non-religious
Thanksgiving feast, aside
from saying grace. In fact,
they seem to have used the
three days for feasting,
playing games and even
drinking liquor.
In 1623, the Pilgrims at
Plymouth Plantation,
Mass., held another day of
Thanksgiving. As a
drought was destroying
their crops, Colonists
prayed and fasted for relief;
the rains came a few days
later. And not long after,
Capt. Miles Standish
arrived with staples and
news that a Dutch supply
ship was on its way.
Because of all this good
fortune, Colonists held a
day of Thanksgiving and
prayer on June 30. This
1623 festival appears to
have been the origin of our
Thanksgiving Day because
it combined a religious and
social celebration.
Festivals of
Thanksgiving were
observed sporadically on a
local level formore than 150
years. They tended to be
autumn harvest celebra-
tions. But in 1789, Elias
Boudinot of Massachusetts,


The first step in roasting a picture-perfect turkey, say the experts, is to start with a quality roaster. Here are
some tips to help you choose one Roast your turkey at a constant 325-350 degrees (a 16- to 24-pound
turkey takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes per pound) Add water or broth to the pan to baste with and
to keep the meat moist Baste every 30 minutes Use a meat thermometer to ensure thorough cooking
(the deepest portion of the breast should read 170 F; the thigh, 180 F) Once finished, let the bird rest for
about half an hour so the juices settle before carving Enjoy your Thanksgiving feast.


member of the House of
Representatives, moved that
a day of Thanksgiving be
held to thank God for giving
the American people the
opportunity to create a
Constitution to preserve
their hard won freedoms. A
congressional joint commit-
tee approved the motion,
and informed President
George Washington. On
Oct. 3, 1789, the president
proclaimed that the people
of the United States observe
"a day of public thanksgiv-
ing and prayer" on
Thursday, Nov. 26.
The next three presi-
dents proclaimed, at most,
two days of thanksgiving
sometime during their
terms of office, either on
their own initiative or at
the request of a joint reso-


lution of Congress. One
exception was Thomas
Jefferson, who believed it
was a conflict of church
and state to require the
American people hold a
day of prayer and thanks-
giving. President James
Madison proclaimed a day
of Thanksgiving to be held
on April 13, 1815, the last
such proclamation issued
by a president until
Abraham Lincoln did so in
1862.
Most of the credit for
the establishment of an
annual Thanksgiving holi-
day may be given to Sarah
Josepha Hale. Editor of
Ladies Magazine and
Godey's Lady's Book, she
began to agitate for such a
day in 1827 by printing
articles in the magazines.


She also published stories
and recipes, and wrote
scores of letters to gover-
nors, senators and presi-
dents. After 36 years of
crusading, she won her
battle. On Oct. 3, 1863,
buoyed by the Union vic-
tory at Gettysburg,
President Lincoln pro-
claimed that Nov. 26,
would be a national
Thanksgiving Day, to be
observed every year on the
fourth Thursday of
November.
Only twice has a presi-
dent changed the day of
observation. President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
order to give Depression-
era merchants more selling
days before Christmas,
assigned the third
Thursday to be


Thanksgiving Day in 1939
and 1940. But he was met
with popular resistance,
largely because the change
required rescheduling
Thanksgiving Day events
such as football games and
parades. In 1941, a con-
gressional joint resolution
officially set the fourth
Thursday of November as
a national holiday for
Thanksgiving.
Today, Thanksgiving is
a time when many fami-
lies come together, and
many churches are open
for special services. We
have both Native
Americans and immi-
grants to thank for the
opportunity to observe a
day of thanksgiving.

(NAPS) More consumers are looking for
ways to improve their diets, but people generally
associate healthful meal options with higher prices.
With the daunting economy, preparing nutritious
meals may seem more challenging than ever. But
there is a delicious solution: turkey.
Turkey is an inexpensive, nutritious alternative
to higher-priced items such as steak, fish and
seafood and it is a more healthful option than chick-
en. And while many consumers may think of it
only around Thanksgiving time or as a ham-
burger substitute turkey is an ingredient that
works well in many tasty and nutritious recipes.
'Turkey, in its various forms and preparations,
should be a staple on everyone's grocery list," sug-
gested Christine Palumbo, a member of the


American Dietetic Association. As a registered die-
titian and nutrition expert, Palumbo focuses on
weight management, functional foods, heart dis-
ease, diabetes and cancer prevention, and overall
wellness. "It is one of the leanest proteins and can
be used as a substitute for meat in almost any
recipe."

Spicy Turkey Tostadas
Servings: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Total estimated cost: $12.45
1 package (about 1 pound) lean ground turkey
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder


8 (5-inch) tostada shells
4 cups shredded cabbage or precut cole slaw
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon peanut or olive oil
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
4 plum tomatoes, chopped (about 1 cup)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium skil-
let, combine turkey, tomato sauce and chili powder.
Simmer over medium heat, breaking up meat with
a spoon, until meat is fully cooked, about six min-
utes. Meanwhile, bake tostada shells in oven until
crisp, about six minutes. In a bowl, toss cabbage
with lime juice, oil and cilantro. Place a layer of
turkey mixture on each tostada. Top with cabbage
mixture and sprinkle with tomatoes.

First IMELDA International Chief Petty


Officer Leadership Course graduates


From Steven Vanderwerff, NETC PAO
and Wayne Verry


Eight chief petty officers and warrant officers from

six nations and three U.S. Navy chief petty officers

graduated from the first Intemational Chief Petty

Officer Leadership (ICPOL) course during a ceremony aboard

NAS Pensacola Nov. 19.


The International Maritime Enlisted
Leadership and Development Assistance
(IMELDA) Program is designed to pro-
vide international friends and allies with
the necessary support to transform,
strengthen, and enhance the professional
development and leadership of petty offi-
cers and chief petty officers. The five-
week course emphasized the principals of
military leadership, personality and
human behavior, communications, team-
work, the legal aspects of military opera-
tions, and decision-making in an opera-
tional environment.
The Naval Education and Training
Security Assistance Field Activity (NET-
SAFA) is the program manager for
IMELDA and the courses are conducted
at the NETSAFA International Training
Center (NITC), located at Bldg. 633.
A retired U.S. Navy command master
chief and a retired Marine master gunnery
sergeant are the principal IMELDA


instructors. The course also included a
well-qualified cadre of guest speakers,
including U.S. active-duty senior enlisted
leaders.
The ICPOL course also included a
Field Studies Program (FSP), which pro-
vided the students with the opportunity to
learn about the United States and the
American way of life. FSP activities
included a visit to the Escambia County
Courthouse, a Blue Angels rehearsal
flight, a visit to the Naval Recruiting
Orientation Unit, and a tour of the USS
Alabama.
This ICPOL graduation was preceded
by the initial IMELDA Petty Officer
Leadership (IPOL) Course last May,
when 10 petty officers (E-4 E-6) gradu-
ated. The IMELDA resident courses are
complemented by an exportable mobile
education team (MET) component.
Current plans are in progress to conduct
the first IMELDA MET in the African


Master Warrant Officer Ibrahim Attah Usman from Nigeria leads his classmates in the
International Maritime Enlisted Leadership and Development Assistance (IMELDA)
program oath during the graduation ceremony of the first class to graduate from the
International Chief Petty Officer Leadership Course (ICPOL). The IMELDA program,
part of Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA),
graduated eight chief petty officers and warrant officers from India, Namibia, Nigeria,
Papua-New Guinea, Philippines and Samoa, and three U.S. Navy chief petty officers
from the inaugural ICPOL Course. Photo by Steve Vanderwerff


Republic of Sierra Leone.
The IMELDAProgram holds significant
potential for growth and continues to
receive increasing attention from both U.S.
military command echelons and the gov-
emrnments and armed forces of our nation's
international friends, allies and partners.
This new enlisted education initiative will
enable other nations to strengthen their
interoperability with U.S. forces, expand


their role in maritime domain awareness,
and enhance their overall ability as a mar-
itime force.
Graduates included two students from
India's coast guard; one from the
Namibian navy; one from the army of
Nigeria; one from the Papuan-New
Guineaan navy; two from the navy of the
Phillippines and one from the Samoan
police force.


Naval Operational Medicine Institute (NOMI) hosts

two-day Lean Six Sigma champion training course


Lt. j.g. Sherrill Hockenberry
NOMI

NOMI hosted a two-day
Lean Six Sigma (LSS)
Champion Training Course
onboard Naval Air Station
Pensacola Nov. 2-3. The course
was comprised of a diverse
group of 26 officers, enlisted,
and civilian leaders from
NOMI, Naval Hospital
Pensacola, several branch clin-
ics and Training Air Wing Five.
Novaces contractor, retired
Navy Capt. Charles Mount,
facilitated the two-day event.
After receiving an overview of


LSS, attendees learned: the
roles and responsibilities of a
LSS Champion, how to identi-
fy, select and prioritize projects,
and the importance of leading
cultural change. The course was
highly participatory and practi-
cal exercises were conducted to
provide experiential learning.
Course participants will
return to work with a renewed
commitment to process
improvement and the knowl-
edge to lead successful LSS
projects that will increase cus-
tomer satisfaction by providing
products and services better,
faster and cheaper.


In May of 2006, the secretary
of the Navy directed the
deployment of Continuous
Process Improvement/Lean Six
Sigma (CPI/LSS) throughout
the Department of the Navy.
Navy medicine commenced its
own CPI/LSS initiative shortly
thereafter. In April of 2009,
after achieving success through
LSS, the surgeon general of the
Navy proclaimed that "LSS is
recognized as the primary
approach for improving organi-
zational performance to achieve
our strategic and operational
priorities at all levels of the
enterprise and will be fully


implemented throughout Navy
medicine."
LSS is a blending of two
individual process improve-
ment methodologies known as
Lean and Six Sigma. Lean
increases efficiency by decreas-
ing cycle time, removing waste
and eliminating non-value-
added activities. Six Sigma
increases quality by decreasing
variation. When the two are
combined, organizations can
produce high quality products
and services in the minimum
amount of time at the lowest
cost.
The Navy is no stranger to


process improvement. Over the
years Total Quality
Management, FOCUS-PDCA,
Change Management, Failure
Mode Effects Analysis, and
various other improvement
tools have been used. LSS dis-
tinguishes itself from these
other methodologies by empha-
sizing a top down approach
with extensive leadership
involvement, a systematic
methodology with defined
goals and measures, strong cus-
tomer focus, analysis of core
business processes, trained
practitioners and documented
fiscal benefit.


NMCRS volunteers

honored at ceremony

From Gilbert P. Chase
MNCRS Publicity Chair

Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)
Pensacola volunteers were honored at the second awards
ceremony of the year recently. In explaining why NMCRS
Pensacola honors volunteers twice each year, Director
Mark Harden said, "I love the awards luncheon because
we get a chance to tell the volunteers, individually, how
important they are to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief
Society. Each volunteer adds to the organization and each
one makes a big difference. I am very proud of the work
our volunteers do for Sailors and Marines in this area."
To date this year, the NMCRS volunteers have:
Assisted more than 3,400 clients
Distributed more than $1,300,000.
Donated more than 22,000 volunteer hours.
Served 7088 customers at the thrift shop.
Guest speaker, Col. Joseph P. Richards, commanding
officer ofMATSG-21, described how important NMCRS
volunteers are to the welfare of his Marines. Col. Richards
also praised NMCRS for providing several newly com-
missioned Marine officers with the opportunity to volun-
teer and learn numerous valuable lessons about compas-
sion and caring for the needs and concerns of fellow
Marines.
Two of the volunteers received the President's Call to
Service Award for having volunteered more than 4,000
hours each; six received Volunteer of the Month awards;
and 41 additional volunteers received awards for the hours
they have donated to date. Awards for hours of service
ranged from 100 hours to a whopping 10,000 hours, which
was earned by Mary Elizabeth Derr, a key volunteer at the
NMCRS thrift shop at Cony Station.

by 2nd Lt. Daniel Tadross and 2nd Lt. Kelsey Lourie MATSG-21 PAOAs Christmastime draws near a dedicated group of Marines are working to brighten the lives of local needy children by way of the Toys for Tots program. The Reserve Marines of 4th Marine Aircraft Wing Training Support Group (MAWTSG) and the active duty Marines of Marine Aviation Training Support Group 21 (MATSG-21) have been working since September to ensure that this years toy drive is a success. Since Toys for Tots was started more than 60 years ago, it has been responsible for distributing more than 400 million toys to 188 million children across the country. The Marines have also partnered with a number of local Pensacola foundations: The Friends of Pensacola, United Way of Santa Rosa, National Aviation Museum Foundation, the National Naval Aviation Museum and many more. Each one has been instrumental to the success of the program, donating thousands of dollars and toys to this years drive. More than 100 collection boxes have been delivered to local businesses, who have been just as eager to help. Some businesses have even gone the extra mile to contribute their services.

Toys for Tots underwayStory, photo by Anne Thrower Gosport Staff WriterEns. John B. Cook always wanted to be a pilot like his father, Capt. James Cook. At 23 he is on track to achieve that goal thanks, in part, to the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC). He came to Naval Air Station Pensacola in June fresh out of college with an aerospace engineering degree. He was debt free and had a job. Cooks decision to choose NROTC is part of a growing trend in the Navy. The interest in NROTC has increased significantly in the past couple years, according to officials with the Naval Service Training Command, which oversees the units across the United States. NSTC, headquartered at Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois, is part of the Naval Education and Training Command, located onboard NASP. We are very pleased that more young Americans know about the opportunities NROTC provides and are applying for the program, said Dr. Jill Stein, the Navys program manager for NROTC. NROTC is a great fit for those seeking careers of service. Stein, who manages the program out of NASP, said the Navy believes the increased interest represents this generations commitment to service as well as the desire to pay for college. According to NSTC, 2,825 scholarships were offered this year and more than 1,250 were accepted. Navy nurse degree scholarships were offered to 208 candidates with more than 120 accepted. The entire enrollment in NROTC units nationwide this year is expected to increase by 17 percent. A total of 22,000 applications were started and of thoseSee NROTC on page 2NROTC numbers increasingFrom USOA new USO Center will be opening in early 2010 at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport. Partnering with the Northwest Florida Regional Airport and the area military affairs committees, the USO will be located in a 1,000-square-foot area by the ticketing counter. Nicknamed the Freedom Lounge, the new USO will have a full range of core services including computer connectivity, snacks and beverages. The USO is the premier military care and support agency for the military, airport director Greg Donovan said. We are excited to have the USO at Northwest Florida Regional Airport. With so many of our military utilizing this airport we are looking forward to providing a safe and secure place for our nations heroes to wait and greet, Heidi Blair, director USO Pensacola said. This is a great partnership and a wonderful way to lift the spirits of the military while they are travelling. The new center is looking for financial support and volunteer assistance to staff the center. Financial support can be sent to P.O. Box 33135 Pensacola FL 32508. If you are interested in volunteering call Kathy Karsten, program manager at 455-8280 ext. 4 or e-mail info@usopensacola.org. See USO on page 2 We have liftoff ...NASA astronaut candidate Army Lt.

As per NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Bill Reavey and Commander-in-Chief President Barack Obama, drivers on any military installation, and operators of government-owned, leased or rented vehicles on or off a Navy installation, may not use cell phones while the vehicle is in operation. President Obama signed an executive order Oct. 1, 2009, specifically prohibiting texting by federal employees while driving a government-owned vehicle, or when driving privately owned vehicles while on official government business, or when using electronic equipment supplied by the government while driving.

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.

As a prior Navy service member you commit to a just cause, said Jennifer Thomas, manager of the Pensacola Uncle Bobs Self Storage. Another local partner is Toys R Us Inc., the largest retail partner in the history of the Toys for Tots program, partnering with the Marines for the past six years. Collection boxes will be available for unwrapped toy donations and money at local Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores, where 100 percent of the toys collected in the area will stay in the local community. Its a great opportunity to be involved with a program that will bring joy to children in the community, said 2nd Lt. Brandon Allen, an active-duty Marine who has been working with the community collecting donations. Toys will be delivered Dec. 14 and 15 to local children at the Salvation Army on Q-Street.

The location at Northwest Florida Regional Airport will be the third location for USO Pensacola.NROTC from page 15,450 met all requirements. The Navy wants its next generation of officers to have more technical degrees. The Navy is preparing our officer corps of the future to meet the dynamic challenges in the next generation of technology and leadership, Stein said. Cooks aerospace engineering degree is among the technical degrees the students are pursuing. Other degrees include biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, math and physics degrees. But the Navy weighs the whole person in deciding to accept. The whole person concept directs the selection board to review all elements of an individuals profile to include their leadership, integrity, character, use of time, military bearing, academics and their ability to contribute to the Navys officer corps, Stein said. No single factor is used in evaluating candidates for the scholarship program. Cook came to NASP having already learned to fly. Besides his father, his uncle is also a pilot. I pretty much from the beginning wanted to do this, he said. His parents didnt insist that he become a naval officer, he said. I loved the military lifestyle growing up, he said. He continued that lifestyle after leaving home, living among midshipmen at Virginia Techs Corps of Cadets in addition to NJROTC. But his classes also included civilians. What I would see was the reality of college, he said. It was an interesting dynamic. Cook is currently waiting to finish Aviation Preflight Indoctrination (API) course work at NASP. He knows his obligation to the Navy will be at least a decade. But thats OK with him. He would like to stay longer. NROTC was fabulous, Cook said. But he doesnt think its better than going through the U.S. Navel Academy or through Officer Candidate School to become an officer. Once youre here we all assimilate and we all move forward together, he said.Motorcycle from page 1safety specialist for Navy Region Southeast, answered some of the most frequently asked questions about the recertification process. Q. Why is recertification required? A. The OPNAV states that the training is to enhance the skills and competencies of every motorcycle rider. I would like to think that you are now being given an opportunity to refresh and fine tune your skills. Q. Who must recertify? A. Recertification is mandatory for all military riders, whether they ride on or off base, and for all DoD civilian personnel who ride on base or while on duty. Q. What courses are required for recertification? A. Any Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course will qualify. Typically, the one-day Experienced Rider Course (ERC) is used by anyone who rides a cruiser, but it can also be taken by sport bike riders who are currently properly licensed. The Military Sport Bike Rider Course (MSRC) is mandatory for all sport bike riders, and should be taken within 60 days after completion of the Basic Rider Course. The MSRC also qualifies for recertification. Tenant commands at Navy installations can also contact the NASP Safety Office at 452-3674 to request a special class to recertify their personnel. Scheduling depends upon the number of students and instructor availability. Command ERCs offer two distinct advantages. First, all riders can catch up immediately on their certifications. Second, they allow skilled cyclists in the command to identify newer, less experienced riders and offer additional support. Q. How does a motorcycle rider know when its time to recertify? A. Look at the issue date on the MSF completion card. Plan on taking the MSRC or ERC three years from that date. Q. How do riders register for the ERC or MSRC? A. Enroll at www.navymotorcyclerider.com through the Enterprise Safety Application Management System (ESAMS). There is a link to ESAMS at the bottom of the home page. Q: In addition to certification, what else is required for any active duty military rider to operate a motorcycle on or off base? A: All riders need the following: Personal protective equipment, which includes a helmet, full-fingered gloves, long pants, sturdy, over-theankle footwear, and eye protection. A complete list appears in OPNAVINST 5100.12H Ch. 1, at www. safetycenter.navy.mil/instructions/ index.asp An MSF course within the last three years A motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license Registration Insurance Q. Where can I learn more about motorcycle training and safety? A. The Naval Safety Center Web site (http://www.safetycenter.navy. mil) is an excellent resource for every aspect of owning and operating a motorcycle, and includes a directory of installation safety offices by region. The MSF (http://www.msf-usa.org) provides descriptions of each course and motorcycle safety-related material. Active and retired military members listen to their trainer point out the course requirements for their motorcycle safety recertification class while on Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Oct. 15.

GOSPORT November 25, 2009PAGE3By Beth Wilson Military Spouse Contributor The military community was rocked recently as we watched events unfold at Fort Hood. Perhaps, like me, you sat glued to the reports, stunned that this happened on a military installation by a member of the armed forces. Our hearts are grieved as we share in the pain of our sister branch. While the investigation continues lessons learned are already emerging. Two lessons immediately jump out to me; emergency preparedness and connecting with your ombudsman. Pvt. Joseph Foster, a gunshot victim of the attack, spoke of his experience on a recent news report. Were a community; we are like a giant family. When anything like this happens we come together tighter than ever. We are stronger because of it. The FRG and Care Team have been great. The FRG leader called my wife and said, Were getting everyone rounded up. Were going to get you to a safe spot, now. They called faster than I could get a call out to my wife. That was great. Do you have an emergency plan for you and your family? Let me pose a few scenarios for you to consider. If you were at the commissary when the base is locked down with your children at school or day care, who would pick them up, who would meet them at the bus? Perhaps news breaks that there is an incident at your base or in your deployed service members command. Do you know what to do? How will you verify your service members safety? What if an earthquake, fire, hurricane or other disaster strikes while you are away from your service member or children? Do you have a plan to communicate and reconnect? Too farfetched to consider? Let me be more practical. What if you have an emergency illness or are in a car accident while your service member is deployed? Who do you have in place to quickly care for your children? Every American citizen needs an emergency plan, but it is imperative for military families to have that plan in place. Visit https://www. cnic.navy. mil/ CNIC_HQ_ Site/Operation Prepare/index.htm for resources and information to develop your emergency plan. Check your information for accuracy on NFAAS (Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System) at www.navyfamily.navy.mil . Take time to familiarize yourself with the purpose and support on this site. The structure of the Navy is such that our ombudsman is the crisis management resource for families. In the event of a natural disaster, national or command emergency your ombudsman is the one who will have official information, resource, instruction and support for you. Your ombudsman is trained and prepared to serve the command and command families. All commands, deploying or non-deploying, have an appointed ombudsman. I recently met a Navy wife who is halfway through a deployment but has not heard from her ombudsman. The main challenge of every ombudsman is connecting with spouses. Your ombudsman does not, let me repeat that; your ombudsman does not receive your information.

Jeffrey Harper JAGC, USN Petty Officer Jones, a single parent with custody of his two children, is preparing to deploy. He intends for his parents to care for his children while hes gone and has completed a family care plan to that effect, as well as power of attorney allowing his parents to care for the children in his absence. Shortly after being boots-on-ground in Afghanistan, the ex-Mrs. Jones arrives at his parents house and takes the children. Petty Officer Smith, a non-custodial single parent of a precocious toddler, is preparing to deploy. She intends for her parents to visit her son in her absence, on the same schedule as the visitation she is allowed. She arrives in Djibouti. Christmas rolls around and her parents show up at Mr. Smiths apartment to pick up the tot for the visitation Petty Officer Smith is due that year. Mr. Smith refuses to allow the children to go with the grandparents. In both cases, the service members desires were frustrated. So what went wrong? Petty Officers Jones and Smith did not ensure the court handling their child custody arrangements took into account their military status. They were not aware of or did not heed NAVADMIN 204/07 of Aug. 13, 2007, paragraph 2.D and OPNAVINST 1740.4C of 7 May 2007, paragraph 4.c. As a result, the court orders governing the custody and visitation rights of the children were at odds with the family care plan and the court orders will always prevail. How could Petty Officers Jones and Smith avoided this situation? Per paragraph 4 of OPNAVINST 1740.4C, single, domestically separated and divorced service members with minor children will contact a legal assistance office for advice and assistance in evaluating the effectiveness of their proposed family care plan and complying with any legal formalities necessary to prevent unwanted challenges to custody and support arrangements. Be proactive with your needs and ensure that there is a court order setting out what will happen when you are deployed and cannot visit your children or cannot have custody. If the court order is already in place and these issues have not been addressed, you are taking a risk that you will find yourself in the situations described above. Proactively seek to get the court order modified to address the unique issues that go with your military lifestyle.

PAGE GOSPORT 4 November 25, 2009Astronaut candidates train aboard NASPBy Gerry J. Gilmore American Forces Press ServiceSeven members of the 2009 class of NASA astronaut candidates (ASCANS) recently completed water survival, aviation physiology and aviation indoctrination flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola. The initial cadre of NASA astronauts in 1959 were all military pilots, so each had already gotten flight and survival training. Todays astronauts are a mix of military and civilians and have diverse backgrounds. As we began to select civilians, it made sense to give them similar training to what the military candidates brought to the program, said Duane Ross, NASAs manager for astronaut selection and training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The Navy survival and flight training is exactly what we needed, theyre easy to deal with, and they were able to work with the ASCANS schedule. The entire ASCANS class consists of 14 aspiring astronauts who started their training by honing their survival skills with the Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) detachment in Brunswick, Maine. The group traveled to the Navys 12,500-acre Rangeley mountain wilderness training facility, where they learned land survival, navigation and field medicine. We usually get to train new aviators at the beginning of their careers, but these NASA candidates are already experts in their chosen fields as all of the civilians hold advanced degrees, said HT1 Michael Pavlovick, Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape instructor at CENSECFOR. These guys learned very quickly and have an amazing work ethic. Their twoday field survival exercise went extremely well; I can see why they were chosen for the astronaut program. Following their land survival training in Maine, the seven non-aviators in the class traveled to NAS Pensacola for water survival, aviation physiology and flight training, including flight training in simulators, familiarization flights and instrument training flights in the T-6A Texan II turboprop aircraft. Lt. Col. Kenneth Devero, the training officer for Training Airwing Six, was the project manager for the ASCANS during their month-and-a-half stay at NAS Pensacola. The candidates training with us in Pensacola are mission specialists, not pilots so they need to receive flight training very similar to what we give our naval flight officers, said Devero. Although they dont get the full NFO syllabus, the training provides a great aviation orientation for the ASCANS. I expected the flight training to be tough, said Dr. Janette Epps, an aerospace engineer who worked for the CIA before applying with NASA. But with our abbreviated syllabus they really throw a lot at you and expect you to learn quickly. Since we will be flying in the T-38 Talon jet trainer on a regular basis with NASA, this is exactly what we need. The NASA class of 2009 is focused on the International Space Station, as current plans call for the space shuttle to be phased out by the time they complete their training. The term international also applies to this class of ASCANS; in addition to the nine United States candidates, five international members, including three Japanese and two Canadian candidates, have joined the class for a total of 14. With their aviation indoctrination complete in midNovember, the ASCANS returned to the Johnson Space Center in Houston to continue their astronaut training, which includes scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in International Space Station systems, extravehicular activity (space walks) and robotics. The entire ASCAN syllabus takes about 18 months to complete. For more information on the astronaut program, visit the NASA Web site at www.nasa.gov.

GOSPORT November 25, 2009PAGE5Enlisted naval aviation pilots bid farewell Excitement filled the air as the group, mostly over 80, mingled. But they talk like they flew together yesterday. Their minds still sharp as tacks. They are an elite few. The enlisted naval aviation pilots have an impressive 65year history of accomplishments and contributions to naval aviation having served in every conflict from World War I to the Vietnam War. In any capacity imaginable they are legend. Walking through the National Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola, those of us honored to attend their final reunion Nov. 12-15 with fathers, grandfathers, uncles and friends received a world-class tour. Hearing time and time again I flew that. Unlike naval aviation today, the era that raised these men came with varied assignments. Most flew more than 15 different types of aircraft in their career; whatever the U.S. Navy asked them to fly. Master Chief John Culbert joked: Whatever they gave me the keys to that day, thats what I flew. It all began 1916 in Pensacola where all 5,000 enlisted men would receive their wings of gold. The final class graduated in 1947. Three went on to the rank of admiral; all went on to achieve great significance and shaped aviation history. Laughing they spoke of flight pay received coming out of flight school in the 1940s. Just $105 per month; some even received 50 cents per landing. It wasnt much, even back then. But enlisted pilots didnt sign up to fly for the money. The Silver Eagles are a rare breed of Sailor. With less than 200 members left, they are nearing extinction. Culbert and Palmer enlisted pilots to the end Culbert grew up in Dodge City, Kan., during the Great Depression. He joined the Navy in Wichita on Dec. 6, 1940. The Navy was an opportunity to gain valuable skills while serving his country. Little did he know as a high school graduate he would soon be one of the small percentage of enlisted men accepted into flight school. He received his orders signed by Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, Pacific commander, in 1945. He began flight school as an aviation mechanic second class and graduated aviator pilot first class in 1947. Culberts career spanned 30 years. His service included patrol squadron, drone control, air sea rescue via sea planes and helicopters, admirals pilot and station administration pilot. He was involved in several evaluation projects, most notably the evaluation of light water for use in fire fighting by the naval laboratory. He flew the UH2B to dispense the light water, which is now used for firefighting worldwide. Culbert speaks of a man overboard alarm while attached to air sea rescue. He received the call while in the chiefs mess onboard the USS Wasp. Within minutes he was airborne in his HUP helicopter with a rescue crewman. The young ordnance man was found and brought back to safety. Later that evening the young Sailor brought a box of cigars as a gift for saving his life. When asked about the extraordinary rescue Culbert said: I was just doing what I was trained to do. With qualification in 22 aircraft, both fixed wing and helicopter, and 6,720 flight hours, Culbert retired after 30 years of service in July 1970. He achieved the rank of master chief. Harry Palmer grew up in Connecticut, New York and France. Attending school in France and the United States set him back and left him wanting more. Tired of school, he joined the Navy in New York in 1937 after completing his sophomore year. Six years later he was accepted into flight school at the rank of air traffic controlman second class. He graduated in September 1944 and received his wings of gold. He was promoted to aviator pilot first class. He went on to get his GED and complete two years of college. Palmer qualified in 15 airplanes and two helicopters logging an impressive 12,000 hours. His most memorable tour was a trip to the Marshall Islands after World War II. The mission was to check for radioactivity. Gamma rays had to be below a certain level to get the people back in their homes. It was important to Palmer. Palmer retired after 20 years of service as a chief. He went on to work with the Boy Scouts of America for several years. The last to get wings Bud Baudouin, from Silsbee, Texas, joined the Navy in August 1940. Baudouin said about his decision to join the navy: Things were not looking good in England. I wanted to get in on the ground floor before the draft. Baudouin received orders to flight school in June 1945 as an aviation metalsmith first class. He graduated in December 1947, the final group of enlisted pilots to attend flight school and the last to be pinned. He attained the rate of aviator pilot first class. The commanding officer said to him: You are the last of an era. Baudouin started in utility and transport as a pilot for the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team. After receiving a commission he was transferred to a ferry squadron where he flew many types of aircraft. Baudouin believes enlisted pilots had just as much skill as any of his counterparts. Skill demonstrated time and time again by these brave men. He tells of a day in San Antonio, Texas, when he was assigned to fly an air evac mission. He made many split-second decisions regarding the flight plan, at times against the recommendation of the air control tower, ultimately saving a young Marines life. I knew that kid needed to get to the hospital as fast as possible, Baudouin said. My determination paid off. Baudouin qualified in 24 planes and clocked 7,000 hours. He retired in March 1961 at the rank of lieutenant.By Lt. Brenda Way Special to GosportAs one retired enlisted pilot described it, the weekend of the Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show represented the end of an era. An era not understood by many.

PAGE GOSPORT 6 November 25, 2009 Doctor discusses Navy’s role in detecting H1N1By Gerry J. Gilmore WASHINGTON (AFPS) The Navy played a key role last spring in the discovery of the H1N1 influenzas presence in the United States, according to a senior Navy medical officer. In April, technicians at the San Diego-based Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) encountered a puzzling influenza specimen provided by a 10-year-old military family member, said Navy Capt. (Dr.) Tanis Batsel Stewart, director of emergency preparedness and contingency support at the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The specimen contained the A type of influenza virus that can cause pandemics, Batsel Stewart said, but it couldnt be sub-typed. Its very unusual not to be able to sub-type an influenza virus, she said in a recent phone interview with American Forces Press Service. The specimen, she said, was then sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta for more testing, where technicians determined it was a new strain of influenza virus. A second specimen from a 9year-old girl that arrived at the NHRC soon afterward was found to be identical to the one submitted by the military family member, Batsel Stewart said. That specimen, too, was sent to the CDC, where it was determined to be the novel influenza A H1N1 virus, commonly known at the time as swine flu. That was a definite red flag that we have a new influenza strain circulating that might very well cause a pandemic, and obviously, it has, she said. The CDC activated its emergency operations center to better coordinate the public-health response to H1N1 April 22. The U.S. government declared a public health emergency April 26, and began aggressively implementing the nations pandemic response plan. The World Health Organization announced June 11 that the spread of the H1N1 virus had reached pandemic proportions, with cases reported in 70 countries at the time. President Barack Obama issued a national emergency declaration on H1N1 last month. By rapidly identifying the virus, implementing public health measures, providing guidance for health professionals and the general public and developing an effective vaccine, we have taken proactive steps to reduce the impact of the pandemic and protect the health of our citizens, the president said in his declaration. The Washington-based Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery is the headquarters and center for Navy medicine, while the NHRC is a leading research and development laboratory for the Defense Department. The NHRC manages and executes medical research, development and test and evaluation programs for the Naval Medical Research Command in Silver Spring, Md.; the Navy Medicine Support Command in Jacksonville, Fla.; and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The Naval Health Research Centers respiratory diseases research department conducts active, laboratory-based surveillance of infectious diseases that affect military personnel and family members, with an emphasis on respiratory illnesses. The department also addresses the safety and efficacy of drugs and vaccines. The Navy has for years conducted influenza and other infectiousdisease surveillance programs in conjunction with the other U.S. military services in partnership with foreign nations and public health organizations, Batsel Stewart said. The U.S. militarys infectious disease research capability is the largest in the world, she said, noting the U.S. maintains labs in Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, Peru and Thailand that fall under the auspices of the Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System. More than 100 countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, participate in the surveillance program, Batsel Stewart said. A presidential directive established the response system, which falls under the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, in June 1996. The directive expanded the Defense Departments mission to include support of global surveillance, training, research, and response to emerging infectious disease threats. It also charged the department to strengthen its global disease-reduction efforts through centralized coordination, improved preventive health programs and epidemiological capabilities, and enhanced involvement with military treatment facilities. The Naval Health Research Centers respiratory diseases research department serves as the Navy hub for the surveillance and response system. We dont anticipate, at this point, H1N1 becoming a severe pandemic, causing a lot of deaths and very severe illness, Batsel Stewart said. But, weve been preparing for years within [the Defense Department] and the Navy and Navy medicine for something along the lines of the pandemic of the influenza of 1918, which was horrendously severe. To help in preventing the spread of influenza viruses, Batsel Stewart recommended that people: Cough or sneeze into the crook of their elbow, rather than into their hand; Wash their hands frequently; Stay home if they feel ill; Keep sick children at home; and Distance themselves if they or others are ill. Public health officials have urged citizens to obtain both H1N1 and regular seasonal flu vaccines. Defense Department officials say the department will have enough H1N1 vaccine available for servicemembers and their families. Meanwhile, the Pentagons global infectious disease surveillance network watches for potential pandemics as it also assists foreign partners. Batsel Stewart recalled a previous duty assignment in Lima, Peru, where she and her colleagues assisted Peruvian health authorities in identifying new strains of dengue fever virus. Peru always thought that they had one, maybe two strains of the dengue fever virus circulating, said Batsel Stewart, noting that the fever has four strains. The U.S. medical team discovered that Peru actually has all four strains of dengue fever virus. One of those strains, she added, is dengue hemorrhagic fever, causing victims to bleed internally and sometimes externally. So, the Peruvian government and the Peruvian public health system was better able to respond to some of the cases they were saying they would not have recognized previously, Batsel Stewart said. Physicians discuss lessons learned from dealing with H1N1 virusWASHINGTON Senior medical officials who successfully slowed the spread of H1N1 flu virus at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., published what they learned in an October article featured in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine . Air Force Lt. Col. (Dr.) Catherine Witkop, a preventive medicine physician from the 10th Medical Group, told participants in a DoDLive bloggers roundtable yesterday that medical officials at the academy acted quickly to set up a team to look at some of the viruss characteristics. I was really pleased that we were able to capitalize on the opportunity to actually learn more about the virus and provide that information to the Centers for Disease Control, to the military, [and] to the United States at large, she said. Witkop and Air Force Col. (Dr.) Kenneth K. Knight, 10th Medical Group commander, discussed what other institutions may be able to do to manage H1N1s spread. Witkop noted that some of the lessons learned from the summer outbreak can apply at other training facilities, such as Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. With a large population of trainees living in very close quarters, Witkop said, controlling the viruss spread at Lackland and limiting absenteeism from the six-week training period is really crucial to completing that mission. So weve done our best to share as much information as possible, as quickly as possible, she said, since this is such a timely issue. During a four-week period in July, 11 percent of the Air Force Academys basic cadet population became ill. There are 134 confirmed cases of H1N1 and 33 suspect cases, meaning they had all the same symptoms, but were not tested, Witkop said. Many challenges had to be considered quickly, Knight said, such as how to treat patients, how to limit interactions with others, when to hospitalize, and how to isolate the cadets. It was a medical issue that had a huge implication to what their job was about, he said. We did lots of different approaches as we were scrambling with the line leadership as how to isolate, talking with CDC, (and) figuring out what the appropriate treatment is, Knight said. And it appears, then, he added, with any epidemiologic conclusion, (that) what we did was effective. Knight said the academys medical group was careful to share lessons learned through the outbreaks many phases. When we were in the thick of things, we were daily sharing what our experience was with the public health department downtown, with all the other local military medical facilities, with the other academies, comparing notes as to what their experiences were with Lackland (and) with the line leadership, Knight said. Our line leadership here was pushing information up to the chief of staff of the Air Force. So nearterm, we were essentially getting out real-time information as to what was going on, to share that experience. Witkop spearheaded the article submission to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine while sharing the lessons with the CDC. Weve shared this information with the CDC well before it got published, so that they would have the information to adjust the guidelines that they were publishing, Knight explained. Isolation has proven to be a key factor in controlling the outbreak at the academy, Witkop said. Our current approach is to isolate the cadets; however, they are self-isolating per the CDCs guidelines, she said. So they would go back to their dorm rooms, continuing until they are seven days from onset of symptoms and 24 hours after being symptom-free. Both said public health education reminders are the key ways academy officials are preventing another outbreak among cadets, and that messages to wash hands, use sanitizers and cover coughs are shared continuously. Meanwhile, Witkop said, academy medical officials continue to monitor the situation closely and continue their public health efforts. Were continuing to follow very closely the numbers of cadets who are ill, to make sure that we're not approaching another outbreak situation, she said. We have daily reports from all of our various clinics about the numbers of both cadets and those in the community. Ballinger Publishing and Gosport! What a Team!!!

The first Thanksgiving service known to be held by Europeans in North America occurred on May 27, 1578, in Newfoundland, although earlier church-type services were probably held by Spaniards in La Florida. However, for British New England, some historians believe that the Popham Colony in Maine conducted a Thanksgiving service in 1607. In the same year, Jamestown Colonists gave thanks for their safe arrival, and another service was held in 1610 when a supply ship arrived after a harsh winter. Berkeley Hundred settlers held a Thanksgiving service in accordance with their charter which stated that the day of their arrival in Virginia should be observed yearly as a day of Thanksgiving, but within a few years an Indian uprising ended further services (Dabney). Thus British Colonists held several Thanksgiving services in America before the Pilgrims celebration in 1621. The Pilgrims, with a puritanical rejection of public religious display, held a non-religious Thanksgiving feast, aside from saying grace. In fact, they seem to have used the three days for feasting, playing games and even drinking liquor. In 1623, the Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation, Mass., held another day of Thanksgiving. As a drought was destroying their crops, Colonists prayed and fasted for relief; the rains came a few days later. And not long after, Capt. Miles Standish arrived with staples and news that a Dutch supply ship was on its way. Because of all this good fortune, Colonists held a day of Thanksgiving and prayer on June 30. This 1623 festival appears to have been the origin of our Thanksgiving Day because it combined a religious and social celebration. Festivals of Thanksgiving were observed sporadically on a local level for more than 150 years. They tended to be autumn harvest celebrations. But in 1789, Elias Boudinot of Massachusetts, member of the House of Representatives, moved that a day of Thanksgiving be held to thank God for giving the American people the opportunity to create a Constitution to preserve their hard won freedoms. A congressional joint committee approved the motion, and informed President George Washington. On Oct. 3, 1789, the president proclaimed that the people of the United States observe a day of public thanksgiving and prayer on Thursday, Nov. 26. The next three presidents proclaimed, at most, two days of thanksgiving sometime during their terms of office, either on their own initiative or at the request of a joint resolution of Congress. One exception was Thomas Jefferson, who believed it was a conflict of church and state to require the American people hold a day of prayer and thanksgiving. President James Madison proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving to be held on April 13, 1815, the last such proclamation issued by a president until Abraham Lincoln did so in 1862. Most of the credit for the establishment of an annual Thanksgiving holiday may be given to Sarah Josepha Hale. Editor of Ladies Magazine and Godeys Ladys Book, she began to agitate for such a day in 1827 by printing articles in the magazines. She also published stories and recipes, and wrote scores of letters to governors, senators and presidents. After 36 years of crusading, she won her battle. On Oct. 3, 1863, buoyed by the Union victory at Gettysburg, President Lincoln proclaimed that Nov. 26, would be a national Thanksgiving Day, to be observed every year on the fourth Thursday of November. Only twice has a president changed the day of observation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in order to give Depressionera merchants more selling days before Christmas, assigned the third Thursday to be Thanksgiving Day in 1939 and 1940. But he was met with popular resistance, largely because the change required rescheduling Thanksgiving Day events such as football games and parades. In 1941, a congressional joint resolution officially set the fourth Thursday of November as a national holiday for Thanksgiving. Today, Thanksgiving is a time when many families come together, and many churches are open for special services. We have both Native Americans and immigrants to thank for the opportunity to observe a day of thanksgiving.Source: Smithsonian Institution Most Americans are familiar with the Pilgrims Thanksgiving feast of 1621, but few realize that it was not the first festival of its kind in North America. Tasty turkey recipe that won’t break the bank The first step in roasting a picture-perfect turkey, say the experts, is to start with a quality roaster. Here are some tips to help you choose one Roast your turkey at a constant 325-350 degrees (a 16to 24-pound turkey takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes per pound) Add water or broth to the pan to baste with and to keep the meat moist Baste every 30 minutes Use a meat thermometer to ensure thorough cooking (the deepest portion of the breast should read 170 F; the thigh, 180 F) Once finished, let the bird rest for about half an hour so the juices settle before carving Enjoy your Thanksgiving feast.(NAPS) More consumers are looking for ways to improve their diets, but people generally associate healthful meal options with higher prices. With the daunting economy, preparing nutritious meals may seem more challenging than ever. But there is a delicious solution: turkey. Turkey is an inexpensive, nutritious alternative to higher-priced items such as steak, fish and seafood and it is a more healthful option than chicken. And while many consumers may think of it only around Thanksgiving time or as a hamburger substitute turkey is an ingredient that works well in many tasty and nutritious recipes. Turkey, in its various forms and preparations, should be a staple on everyones grocery list, suggested Christine Palumbo, a member of the American Dietetic Association. As a registered dietitian and nutrition expert, Palumbo focuses on weight management, functional foods, heart disease, diabetes and cancer prevention, and overall wellness. It is one of the leanest proteins and can be used as a substitute for meat in almost any recipe. Spicy Turkey Tostadas Servings: 4 Prep time: 15 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Total estimated cost: $12.45 1 package (about 1 pound) lean ground turkey 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 tablespoon chili powder 8 (5-inch) tostada shells 4 cups shredded cabbage or precut cole slaw 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon peanut or olive oil 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro 4 plum tomatoes, chopped (about 1 cup) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium skillet, combine turkey, tomato sauce and chili powder. Simmer over medium heat, breaking up meat with a spoon, until meat is fully cooked, about six minutes. Meanwhile, bake tostada shells in oven until crisp, about six minutes. In a bowl, toss cabbage with lime juice, oil and cilantro. Place a layer of turkey mixture on each tostada. Top with cabbage mixture and sprinkle with tomatoes.Thanksgiving:from local harvest to national holiday

Lt. j.g. Sherrill Hockenberry NOMI NOMI hosted a two-day Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Champion Training Course onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Nov. 2-3. The course was comprised of a diverse group of 26 officers, enlisted, and civilian leaders from NOMI, Naval Hospital Pensacola, several branch clinics and Training Air Wing Five. Novaces contractor, retired Navy Capt. Charles Mount, facilitated the two-day event. After receiving an overview of LSS, attendees learned: the roles and responsibilities of a LSS Champion, how to identify, select and prioritize projects, and the importance of leading cultural change. The course was highly participatory and practical exercises were conducted to provide experiential learning. Course participants will return to work with a renewed commitment to process improvement and the knowledge to lead successful LSS projects that will increase customer satisfaction by providing products and services better, faster and cheaper. In May of 2006, the secretary of the Navy directed the deployment of Continuous Process Improvement/Lean Six Sigma (CPI/LSS) throughout the Department of the Navy. Navy medicine commenced its own CPI/LSS initiative shortly thereafter. In April of 2009, after achieving success through LSS, the surgeon general of the Navy proclaimed that LSS is recognized as the primary approach for improving organizational performance to achieve our strategic and operational priorities at all levels of the enterprise and will be fully implemented throughout Navy medicine. LSS is a blending of two individual process improvement methodologies known as Lean and Six Sigma. Lean increases efficiency by decreasing cycle time, removing waste and eliminating non-valueadded activities. Six Sigma increases quality by decreasing variation. When the two are combined, organizations can produce high quality products and services in the minimum amount of time at the lowest cost. The Navy is no stranger to process improvement. Over the years Total Quality Management, FOCUS-PDCA, Change Management, Failure Mode Effects Analysis, and various other improvement tools have been used. LSS distinguishes itself from these other methodologies by emphasizing a top down approach with extensive leadership involvement, a systematic methodology with defined goals and measures, strong customer focus, analysis of core business processes, trained practitioners and documented fiscal benefit. November 25, 2009 SPOTLIGHTGOSPORT B2PAGEFrom Gilbert P. Chase MNCRS Publicity ChairNavy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Pensacola volunteers were honored at the second awards ceremony of the year recently. In explaining why NMCRS Pensacola honors volunteers twice each year, Director Mark Harden said, I love the awards luncheon because we get a chance to tell the volunteers, individually, how important they are to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. Each volunteer adds to the organization and each one makes a big difference. I am very proud of the work our volunteers do for Sailors and Marines in this area. To date this year, the NMCRS volunteers have: Assisted more than 3,400 clients Distributed more than $1,300,000. Donated more than 22,000 volunteer hours. Served 7088 customers at the thrift shop. Guest speaker, Col. Joseph P. Richards, commanding officer of MATSG-21, described how important NMCRS volunteers are to the welfare of his Marines. Col. Richards also praised NMCRS for providing several newly commissioned Marine officers with the opportunity to volunteer and learn numerous valuable lessons about compassion and caring for the needs and concerns of fellow Marines. Two of the volunteers received the Presidents Call to Service Award for having volunteered more than 4,000 hours each; six received Volunteer of the Month awards; and 41 additional volunteers received awards for the hours they have donated to date. Awards for hours of service ranged from 100 hours to a whopping 10,000 hours, which was earned by Mary Elizabeth Derr, a key volunteer at the NMCRS thrift shop at Corry Station.NMCRS volunteers honored at ceremonyFirst IMELDA International Chief Petty Officer Leadership Course graduates From Steven Vanderwerff, NETC PAO and Wayne Verry Eight chief petty officers and warrant officers from six nations and three U.S. Navy chief petty officers graduated from the first International Chief Petty Officer Leadership (ICPOL) course during a ceremony aboard NAS Pensacola Nov. 19.The International Maritime Enlisted Leadership and Development Assistance (IMELDA) Program is designed to provide international friends and allies with the necessary support to transform, strengthen, and enhance the professional development and leadership of petty officers and chief petty officers. The fiveweek course emphasized the principals of military leadership, personality and human behavior, communications, teamwork, the legal aspects of military operations, and decision-making in an operational environment. The Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA) is the program manager for IMELDA and the courses are conducted at the NETSAFA International Training Center (NITC), located at Bldg. 633. A retired U.S. Navy command master chief and a retired Marine master gunnery sergeant are the principal IMELDA instructors. The course also included a well-qualified cadre of guest speakers, including U.S. active-duty senior enlisted leaders. The ICPOL course also included a Field Studies Program (FSP), which provided the students with the opportunity to learn about the United States and the American way of life. FSP activities included a visit to the Escambia County Courthouse, a Blue Angels rehearsal flight, a visit to the Naval Recruiting Orientation Unit, and a tour of the USS Alabama. This ICPOL graduation was preceded by the initial IMELDA Petty Officer Leadership (IPOL) Course last May, when 10 petty officers (E-4 E-6) graduated. The IMELDA resident courses are complemented by an exportable mobile education team (MET) component. Current plans are in progress to conduct the first IMELDA MET in the African Republic of Sierra Leone. The IMELDA Program holds significant potential for growth and continues to receive increasing attention from both U.S. military command echelons and the governments and armed forces of our nations international friends, allies and partners. This new enlisted education initiative will enable other nations to strengthen their interoperability with U.S. forces, expand their role in maritime domain awareness, and enhance their overall ability as a maritime force. Graduates included two students from Indias coast guard; one from the Namibian navy; one from the army of Nigeria; one from the Papuan-New Guineaan navy; two from the navy of the Phillippines and one from the Samoan police force. Training Air Wing Six Commodore Michael Prosperi takes F-15E Strike Eagle fam flight ...In conjunction with the 2009 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show, two F-15E Strike Eagle fighter aircraft were dispatched to NAS Pensacola from Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina. Training Air Wing Six’s Commodore Capt. Michael Prosperi was able to take a familiarization flight in the Strike Eagle Nov. 13 courtesy of 4th Fighter Wing pilot Capt. John Decker. The aircraft departed to the warning area where Capt. Decker demonstrated both the flight characteristics of the F-15E and the air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities of the AN/APG-70 radar employed by the Strike Eagle. NASP base CO Capt. Bill Reavey also took a fam flight with Capt. Decker Nov. 14, immediately following the Blue Angels air show. Photos by Maj.
