Last Gosport for the year ... Today's issue of your homebase newspaper marks the last edition of the year. Per our contract with the
printer, Ballinger Publishing, we produce 50 issues annually, so the December holiday period is the time the Gosport staff takes a break and regroups
for the next year. Staffing will be light over the next two weeks but on most non-holidays, someone will be in the Gosport editorial offices in Bldg. 624.
All classified ads submitted after Dec. 11 will appear in our next issue, Jan. 8, 2010. On behalf of NASP Commanding Officer, Capt. Bill Reavey, the
NASP Public Affairs staff, and Ballinger Publishing, we wish you all very safe and happy holidays.

EscaRosa CFC



applauds federal



community


2009 fundraising concludes with

donations up 11 percent over 2008


By Trista Swuager
CFC Assistant

EscaRosa CFC held a victo-
ry celebration luncheon Dec.
10 at the NASP Mustin Beach
Officers' Club with Capt. Kent
L. Miller, commanding officer
of Naval Aviation Technical
Training Center (NATTC) and
Ron Denson, CFC director,
leading the celebration.
"iCan, Now More than
Ever" was the theme for this
year's Combined Federal
Campaign (CFC), and the
EscaRosa federal employees,
both military and civilian, cer-
tainly proved those words to be
true.
"In a time of national eco-
nomic hardship, (federal
employees) came together to
raise more than $821,831 for


many worthy charities, locally,
nationally and internationally,
reflecting an extraordinary
increase of 11 percent over
2008's contributions," Denson
said. Even though this is not
the highest amount ever raised,
it is the highest local increase
since the aftermath of 9/11.
"The overwhelming success
of the 2009 CFC can be attrib-
uted to many dedicated indi-
viduals and organizations, all
of whom deserve special
thanks," Denson added.
Rear Adm. Joseph F.
Kilkenny, Commander of
Naval Education and Training
command (NETC), presented
the Admiral's Cup to the
Center for Information
Dominance (CID) for raising

New PAMO warfare designation pinned on officers at NAS Pensacola


By AEAA Brinn Hefron
Gosport Staff Writer

Eleven officers from the
aviation maintenance field
were pinned with their
Professional Aviation
Maintenance Officer (PAMO) warfare
insignia Dec. 10. These officers were


the first in the
Pensacola region to
be pinned with this
warfare designator.
Naval Education
and Training
Command' s
(NETC) Rear Adm. Joseph Kilkenny
was the guest speaker for the ceremony.


He emphasized the trust aviators place in
maintenance personnel. "When a 22-
year-old plane captain tells me my plane
is down, it's down.," Adm. Kilkenny
said. "There's isn't any discussion. We're
asking him to make a decision based on
the facts that he has. ... If the planes
aren't up and running to the level that we
need them to be, then people's lives are


in jeopardy. Not only the people who
have to fly them, but numerous other
people on the ground."
Participating officers should start the
personnel qualification standard (PQS)
during their first assignment as a PAMO.
The requirements can be found under

Driving while using a cell phone consequences increased


By AEAA Brinn Hefron
Gosport Staff Writer

While cell phone usage while driving has
decreased aboard NAS Pensacola, it has not alto-
gether stopped. Because of this problem, NASP
Commanding Officer Capt. Bill Reavey has
increased the punishment for using a cell phone -
including texting while driving.
Safety is one of the main concerns for NAS
Pensacola. According to Deputy Security Director
Dick Wright, two years ago cell phone usage while


driving peaked, at which point Commander Navy
Installations Command (CNIC) initiated a distract-
ed driving policy. Wright said, "We will be crack-
ing down on cell phone usage while driving aboard
NAS Pensacola."
The new consequences include six points on a
driver's record and a 30-day suspension of driving
privileges. This suspension is only applicable to
military personnel, however all others in violation
of this policy can be punished.

Christmas is looking consid-

7,000 local children thanks to the
efforts of 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).
Thanks to their tireless devotion
and the help of the local commu-
nity, more than 12,000 toys have
been delivered at the Salvation
Army on Q Street. A multitude
of local business have been vital


to this year's drive, including
Toys R Us and Wal-Mart. Toys
R Us opened their doors on sev-
eral occasions for toy drives and
as a result donated more than
$10,000 in toys. Wal-Mart made
their facilities available for
Marines to collect donations and
in a one-day toy drive helped
collect more than $5,000 in toys.
The community this year has
been especially generous.
Among the thousands of individ-
ual volunteers many groups have
pulled together to donate. A spe-

Nothing to fear, but don't take HIN1 lightly


By Cmdr. Jack Wyland, MC
Director of Public Health at Naval
Hospital Pensacola

First seen in early 2009,
H1N1, also known as swine flu,
actually contains components
of pig, bird and human viruses.
While H1N1 should not be
taken lightly, it is also nothing
to fear. It has many similarities
with the seasonal flu which we
deal with each year.
Like seasonal flu, most cases
of H1N1 are mild and require
nothing more than rest, hydra-
tion and possibly over-the-
counter symptomatic medica-
tions.
A small percentage of H1N1
cases develop into severe ill-
ness and deaths have
occurred, but are rare.
The vast majority of severe
cases have occurred in people
with a condition associated
with increased risk such as
pregnancy, weakened immune
systems, diabetes, heart or kid-
ney disease and asthma.


Children, especially those
under 2, are also at increased
risk.
Compared to seasonal flu,
which more commonly occurs
in people over the age of 65,
this age group appears to have
some prior immunity to H1N1
thus less likely to catch
H1N1 but they remain at
increased risk for severe illness
if they do.
Prescription antiviral med-
ications are often used in severe
or high-risk cases but prophy-
lactic treatment is now consid-
ered in only rare instances.
Your physician should be
familiar with when these med-
ications are needed.
Both H1N1 and seasonal flu
are much easier to prevent on
paper than in actual practice.
If everyone were to get vac-
cinated and practice good
hygiene, the spread of disease
would be significantly cur-
tailed. Infected people can
spread the virus with a cough or
sneeze.


The H1N1 virus is believed
to remain infectious on untreat-
ed objects for a few hours. If
someone touches an object with
the virus on it and then touches
his mouth or nose, he can
become infected.
When you cough or sneeze,
cover your nose and mouth
with a disposable tissue or
cough or sneeze into your
sleeve.
Using your hands as was
taught in the past may spread
the virus when you later touch
something- and remember to
wash your hands often with
soap and water or use an anti-
bacterial hand gel.
Good hygiene remains
important at all times because
infected people may spread the
virus from one day before they
even feel sick all the way out to
one week after they feel better
(possibly longer in children).
Symptoms ofH1N1 are sim-
ilar to the seasonal flu, but tend
to come on more rapidly, often
over only a few hours. They


can include a dry cough, chest
discomfort, aches and pains,
headache, stomach upset, chills
and fatigue.
Congestion and sore throat
occur less often. Fever is com-
mon, but not present in all
cases.
STAY HOME: If you think
you have the flu, stay home
unless you have an urgent need
that cannot wait until you feel
better. You can call your doctor
for advice. You can return to
your normal routine when 24
hours has elapsed since you had
a fever (while off fever reduc-
ing medications).
Persons who have come into
contact with someone with
H1N1 can continue their nor-
mal routine unless they experi-
ence symptoms themselves, at
which time they should also
stay home.
Anyone with a condition
(mentioned above) that puts
them at increased risk or those
who believe they may be expe-
riencing severe symptoms


should contact their physician
without delay.
Like seasonal flu, the
absolute best way to prevent
H1N1 is to get vaccinated.
Certain military and civilian
facilities are now giving the
H1N1 vaccine to those at
increased risk.
As availability increases
over the next few weeks, every-
one will be able to receive it.
Your physician's office should
be aware of where H1N1 vac-
cine is currently available. Be
smart and stay healthy.
Seasonal flu vaccines are
currently available at NH
Pensacola.
The H1N1 vaccine from the
Defense Department's stock-
pile was tentatively scheduled
to arrive by mid-December.
More than 100 H1N1 vac-
cines, from the Health and
Human Services stockpile,
were made available to NH
Pensacola for its designated
high-risk patients in early
November.


Moving during the holidays? Some helpful advice


By Carissa Bergosh
School Liaison Officer for NASP

Most children and their families get
excited about moving to a new commu-
nity. It is an opportunity to start afresh,
make new friends, explore different
scenery and maybe get your own bed-
room.
But the other side of moving for chil-
dren is leaving friends and starting in a
new school. While you may be con-
cerned about housing, a job and new
clothes due to a climate change, your
children hone in on what will have the
greatest impact on them- school.
Roughly 16 million American fami-


lies move each year. And the adjustment
can be hard on kids. One of the keys to
making it easier is time.
Psychologist Gary Santavicca says:
"In general, the more preparation you
have, the easier a transition is." So, he
says, start talking about the move as
early as possible. And include the kids.
Have them get online to learn about
the new city's zoo, their new school or
the nearest park. "Different things to
help them feel like they're helping to
make it happen, and it's a family proj-
ect," he says.
Totally preventing moving anxiety
may not be possible, but attempts to do
so can benefit all in the family- not


just the children.
Consider three key elements: relia-
bility, routine and relationships. By pro-
moting these three elements, you'll
experience a more positive move for
everyone.
Check with the school liaison officer
at the new installation for names of stu-
dents at the school who would be will-
ing to become e-mail buddies. You can
get in touch with the SLO at your new
installation by calling the SLO at your
current installation or Googling "Navy
School Liaison Officer." The school liai-
son officer may be able to put you in
contact with the school's counselor who
can provide information about specific


information.
So as you approach the first day,
establish a regular bedtime routine and
morning routine. Make sure that he has
clothes that are appropriate for the
school's dress code.
The school counselor can help the
teachers receiving your children to build
strategies for establishing positive rela-
tionships with them. By sharing infor-
mation about your children before they
arrive will give the teacher and the class
time to prepare a welcoming atmos-
phere.
Bergosh can be reached via e-mail at
carissa.bergosh@ navy.mil or by calling

NCIS crime reduction program targets sexual assault prevention


"ASHINGTON


(NNS)


The Naval Criminal Investigative Service

(NCIS) Crime Reduction Program (CRP)


focused its first quarter campaign of the 2010 fiscal year on

sexual assault prevention.


NCIS planned to use command briefin-
gs and community outreach events to edu-
cate Sailors and Marines about the risks of
victimization and the repercussions of
criminal sexual behavior, with emphasis
on alcohol-facilitated sexual assaults and
bystander intervention.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus host-
ed the first Department of the Navy (DoN)
Sexual Assault Prevention Summit at the
Washington Navy Yard in September,
where senior military and civilian DON
leaders interacted with subject matter
experts to develop effective prevention
strategies designed to eliminate sexual
assault in the Navy and Marine Corps.
NCIS is incorporating information from
this conference in its sexual assault pre-
vention campaign.
Department of Defense Directive
(DoDD) 6495.01 defines sexual assault as
intentional sexual contact, characterized
by use of force, threats, intimidation, abuse
of authority, or a situation in which the vic-
tim does not or cannot consent.
NCIS Special Agent Patty Lyons, the
family and sexual violence agent at
Quantico, Va., said more than 75 percent
of her cases are sexual assault cases. She
said it's important to focus on sexual
assault prevention because many Sailors
and Marines don't know the impact that
comes with a sex crime conviction.
"Many of these young men and women
don't understand that if convicted of a sex
crime, most will have to register as a sex


offender for the rest of their lives," said
Lyons, who has worked sexual assault
cases for 20 years as a
Marine criminal investi-
gator, Marine special Onboard N
agent, and an NCIS anyone interest
agent. NCIS conce
Lyons said the major- assault can c

Other NCIS tips to help prevent sexual
assaults include drinking responsibly,
knowing personal drinking limits, know-
ing a partner's age, and agreeing not to
leave parties or bars with "new" friends.

coordinator, said another key factor in pre-

venting sexual assaults is bystander inter-
vention.
"It is simply standing up and doing the
right thing. It's intervening on your
buddy's behalf when you see him or her
taking advantage of someone too intoxi-
cated to understand what's happening. It's
making sure your shipmate gets home
safely. It's preventing an assault before it
happens," said Nelson. "Bystander inter-
vention is an obligation that every one of
us shares. It is our duty to step up and stop
someone from becoming a perpetrator or a
victim."
Some examples of bystander interven-
tion include making up an excuse to get
someone away from a risky situation,

"So many folks don't want to have the

"The reality of it is sexual assault is one of
those crimes that will only increase if the
suspect isn't caught. If someone gets away
with it once, they will normally try it again
and again."

The Department of Defense (DoD) has
two sexual assault reporting policies:
restricted and unrestricted. Under restrict-
ed reporting, a victim may only notify a
victim advocate, sexual assault response
coordinator (SARC), healthcare provider,
and chaplain. Law enforcement is not noti-
fied and an investigation will not be initiat-
ed. Victims will be provided a victim
advocate and will sign a statement of
reporting preference.
With unrestricted reporting, an official
law enforcement investigation is initiated,
victims will be provided a victim advocate,
a SARC will monitor their care, and victims
will be updated monthly on the status of the
investigation. Once a victim decides on
unrestricted reporting, they can't go back
and change it to restricted reporting.
Victims of sexual assault or people with
information about a sexual assault can call
the NCIS Hotline at 1 (877) 579-3648, or
the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1
(800) 656-4673, which will connect the
caller to a local rape crisis center. Personnel
stationed overseas may utilize the NCIS
hotline, contact their localNCIS office, or e-
mail ncistipline@ncis.navy.mil.
The CRP, launched in October 2008
and spearheaded by NCIS, is an aware-
ness and education program that unites
law enforcement and community service
organizations with a shared goal of edu-
cating Sailors and Marines about com-
mon threats to their safety. The CRP has
successfully completed four awareness
campaigns focusing on domestic vio-
lence, identity theft, child abuse and nar-
cotics abuse.
NCIS is a federal law enforcement
agency that protects and defends the U.S.
Department of the Navy against terror-
ism and foreign intelligence threats,
investigates major criminal offenses and
provides law enforcement and security
services to the Navy and Marine Corps
on a worldwide basis.

Inventor of 'Dilbert Dunker' visits NAS Whiting Field


By Ens. Joanna Clark
Naval Air Station Whiting Field

With an unsavory reputation for dis-
comfort and the look of a middle-ages
torture device, the "Dilbert Dunker"
might not be the first choice for a
happy look down memory lane.
However, the device is credited with
possibly saving thousands of aviators'
lives and the inventor of the training
contraption is justifiably proud of his
progeny.
Wilfred Kaneb, who currently
resides in Ontario, Canada, began
designing and building the dunker in
1943.
He was tasked with the duty of cre-
ating a mechanism to simulate engine
failure at takeoff from a carrier, as
many pilots who crashed in this sce-
nario during World War II did not sur-
vive.
"The Army colonel said somebody


The Dilbert Dunker. Photo courtesy of
http://nasgi.org


has got to teach them what it is like to
be drowning," Kaneb recollected. "It
took us between six months to a year to
design and build it."
Kaneb visited Naval Air Station
Whiting Field recently to see one of
only four Dunkers created.
On display at the base's atrium with
other pieces of naval aviation history,
this Dilbert Dunker was used for water
survival training at both Naval Air
Station Pensacola and NAS Whidbey
Island.
The dunker is a piece of history to
many aviators at NAS Whiting Field,
including Commanding Officer, Capt.
Pete Hall and Executive Officer Cmdr.
Anne Chapman.
More than 8,000 aviators have
trained on the Dilbert Dunker. The
device was removed from service as
the Naval Operational Medicine
Institute at NASP replaced it with the
Aircrew Water Survival Training
Facility a few years ago.
"We have a little bit of our history in
here," Chapman said. "I mean, I rode
in here." Hall added, referring to the
Dilbert Dunker, "If you think of all the
people who have gone through this
one, all the astronauts, the people who
went to the moon... They all had to go
through Pensacola, through this one."
Four of these devices surfaced in the
fleet, all hand made and tested by
Kaneb and a small team of engineers.
Because there was no assembly line
to build these machines, they had to be
individually tested, and they didn't
always work on the first try.

chats with Wilfred Kaneb, the inventor of the Dilbert Dunker. Photo by Ens. Miles
Hooper


Testing these devices could not have
been pleasant, as many would gather
from the dunker's film debut in "An
Officer and a Gentleman."
The flight candidate would be
strapped into a mock cockpit, place his
hands on the throttle and stick and be
lifted in a cart a few meters out of the
water.
The cart would then come crashing
into the water, flip up-side-down, and
the candidate would then (with "water
in every sinus") have to orient himself


and escape from the pilot seat.
"We tested a lot of airplanes (Dilbert
Dunkers)," Kaneb said. "I liked it,
though, because it was worth it."
Many will tell you that, although it
was not a pleasant experience to tra-
verse the path of this mechanism in
action, if they were to go down in an
aircraft they would be grateful they had
the training. Capt. Hall stated, remi-
niscing his water survival training, "I
know it gave me the confidence to get
out of the water."


Avoiding stress during holidays


From National Naval
Medical Center Public
Affairs

BETHESDA, Md. -
The holiday season may be
a time to celebrate with
friends and family, but for
those who won't have an
opportunity to see their
loved ones, it may be a
time of increased stress
and hardship.
"The holidays increase
stress, both in positive and
negative ways, so it's a
more challenging time for
some people," said Cmdr.
James West, the behavioral
health department head
here at the National Naval
Medical Center (NNMC).
"For someone having
depression, the holidays
can be very difficult, par-
ticularly for young service
members. This might be
the first holiday they had to


spend away from family.
That can be traumatic."
Signs of depression
include feeling sad every
day with a lost of interest in
pleasurable activities, West
said.
Some people may expe-
rience sleep disruption,
loss of energy, loss of
appetite and feelings of
guilt. In extreme cases of
depression, some people
may exhibit suicidal
thoughts or actions. These
are manifested in threaten-
ing to hurt oneself, talking
or writing about death,
uncontrolled anger,
increased drug and alcohol
use and dramatic mood
changes.
It is important to recon-
nect with friends, family,
community or church
groups to reduce the stress
of the holidays, West said.
"These give a great deal


of support and strength.
The holidays can be a very
positive, uplifting time to
re-establish these connec-
tions," he said.
One way to ease the
burden of loneliness is to
focus on having social sup-
port systems, West said.
Jenny Charson, market-
ing director for NNMC's
Morale, Welfare and
Recreation (MWR) center,
recommends getting
involved with any of the
programs that are offered
regularly on base such as
weekend outings at
reduced costs, movie
nights and a free dinner
every night before a sched-
uled pay day.
These events target
enlisted personnel, prima-
rily E-1 through E-6.
Staying healthy and fit is a
great way to remain posi-
tive, Charson said.

MCPON: Now that we have momentum,

we should push Facebook even further
From Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

WASHINGTON (NNS) One week after his Facebook page,
www.facebook.com/mcpon, surpassed 10,000 "fans," Master Chief Petty Officer of
the Navy (MCPON)(SS/SW) Rick D. West used the Web site to announce his intent
to further leverage social media as a significant communications device.
West, in a note he posted to Facebook in early December, said he anticipates anoth-
er thousand fans by Christmas, and that the response he's received from Sailors and
Navy families has been surprising and encouraging. He also said that the real value
of social media is the opportunity to share ideas.
"We started out tentatively and that's fine. But, now that we have momentum, I
believe we should push it even further. I want to start putting your best ideas on our
page," West wrote. "Is your command doing something like that? If so, let us know.
We want to introduce that idea to the fleet and leverage it for the good of all Sailors."
West unveiled his public Facebook page June 25 and has been aggressive in tack-
ling subjects Sailors around the Navy tell him they are most concerned with.
"We've discussed the wear policy for the NWU and your feedback made its way
to our CNO. We've discussed women aboard submarines and the debates on that sub-
ject have been enlightening and well-spoken. Almost every decision or new policy
released or considered in the last half-year has been brought up here and discussed. I
find that is immensely gratifying, and I hope it continues."
MCPON wrote that he hopes for even more interaction in the coming months, but
pointed that it has never been his intent to use Facebook, or any form of social media,
to subvert a Sailor's standard chain of command. West said that many times the
responses he provides to Sailors' questions are short and to the point.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.


Christmas...
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bour
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foo
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pad
His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how i
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snoi
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jel
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his world
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jer
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

NASWF PAO


Air Station (NAS)


Whiting Field recognized the

accomplishments of soon-to-


be-advanced Sailors during a frocking cer-

emony Dec. 10-11. The new third class

petty officers were recognized in front of

their peers Dec. 10 and the second and first

class petty officers Dec. 11.


The frocking ceremony
is a Navy tradition that
provides the selected
Sailors an opportunity to
wear the uniform and take
on the responsibilities of
their new rank before they
are formally advanced.
Second class petty offi-
cers were frocked to first
class, third class petty
officers were frocked to
second class and airmen
were frocked to third
class.
"This is a happy
event," said Capt. Pete
Hall, NAS Whiting Field
commanding officer.


"It's nice to be able to
reward the efforts of good
Sailors and to see the
results of their hard
work."
Twelve Sailors from
NAS Whiting Field were
selected for advancement
including: AC1
Christopher Duffie; AC2
Joshua Barbier, Ashley
Coleman, Eric Rhodes
and Adriana
AyaLabarcellos; AC3
Timothy Egerdahl, Glory
Peak and Jermaine Roby;
AB1 Leonardo Treggi;
AB2 Larry Barron,
Gilbert June, and Andrew


McDougle.
Each Sailor received a
frocking letter from Hall
which reads in part, "Your
appointment carries with
it the obligation that you
exercise increased author-
ity and willingly accept
greater responsibility.
Occupying now a posi-
tion of greater authority,
you must strive with a
renewed dedication
toward the valued ideal of
service with honor."
The ceremony was
held at the base's opera-
tions department auditori-
um.

For the 18th consecutive year,
Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting
Field has achieved designation
from the National Arbor Day
Foundation as a Tree City USA
for its dedication to conservation
and urban renewal. The base
planted a live oak tree to recog-
nize its completion of the require-
ments and to celebrate the accom-
plishment Dec. 10.
The Arbor Day Foundation
presented a proclamation and
banner to the command to recog-
nize the achievement. Capt. Pete
Hall, NAS Whiting Field com-
manding officer read the procla-
mation to the assembled Whiting
Field team members and the skip-
per threw in the first shovelful of
dirt along with Public Works
Officer Lt. Cmdr. Leaf Ballast
and Environmental Program
Manager Ron Cherry.
The ceremony is only the final
step in the process. Throughout
the year, the NAS Whiting Field
Natural Resources team has to:
ensure an allocated cost is direct-
ed toward forestry projects (this
has to exceed $2 per person on

the base), maintain an Urban
Forestry Ordnance, and have a
board with regular meetings. All
of the requirements serve to raise
the awareness of how important
trees are to our society. Not only
do they provide a natural beauty,
but trees also give shade, help to
lower temperatures in urban
areas, increase the oxygen level
in their areas, and help to cleanse
pollutants from groundwater and
the air.
Base forestry programs in 2009
nearly reached $90,000 of main-
tenance for existing woodlands
and more than 300 pine seedlings
were planted with the help of
local Boy Scouts. Similar
seedlings will continue to be
planted in 2010. The amount
invested in maintenance was
approximately 10 times the nec-
essary amount to qualify for the
program.
"Whiting Field will continue to
annually celebrate Tree
Awareness Week..." Hall said as
he read the proclamation, "and
recognize the importance of pre-
serving and managing our trees
throughout the year, improving
our environment and demonstrat-
ing our responsibility as public
lands stewards."

Opinions contained herein are not official expressions of the Department of the Navy nor do the advertisements constitute Department of the Navy or NAS Pensacola endorsement of products or services advertised. By AEAA Brinn Hefron Gosport Staff WriterWhile cell phone usage while driving has decreased aboard NAS Pensacola, it has not altogether stopped. Because of this problem, NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Bill Reavey has increased the punishment for using a cell phone including texting while driving. Safety is one of the main concerns for NAS Pensacola. According to Deputy Security Director Dick Wright, two years ago cell phone usage while driving peaked, at which point Commander Navy Installations Command (CNIC) initiated a distracted driving policy. Wright said, We will be cracking down on cell phone usage while driving aboard NAS Pensacola. The new consequences include six points on a drivers record and a 30-day suspension of driving privileges. This suspension is only applicable to military personnel, however all others in violation of this policy can be punished. See Cell phone penalties on page 2By AEAA Brinn Hefron Gosport Staff WriterEleven officers from the aviation maintenance field were pinned with their Professional Aviation Maintenance Officer (PAMO) warfare insignia Dec. 10. These officers were the first in the Pensacola region to be pinned with this warfare designator. Naval Education and Training Commands (NETC) Rear Adm. Joseph Kilkenny was the guest speaker for the ceremony. He emphasized the trust aviators place in maintenance personnel. When a 22year-old plane captain tells me my plane is down, its down., Adm. Kilkenny said. Theres isnt any discussion. Were asking him to make a decision based on the facts that he has. If the planes arent up and running to the level that we need them to be, then peoples lives are in jeopardy. Not only the people who have to fly them, but numerous other people on the ground. Participating officers should start the personnel qualification standard (PQS) during their first assignment as a PAMO. The requirements can be found underSee PAMO on page 2 Florida House of Representatives Speaker onboard NASP ...NASP CO Capt.

Miller, commanding officer of Naval Aviation Technical Training Center (NATTC) and Ron Denson, CFC director, leading the celebration. iCan, Now More than Ever was the theme for this years Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), and the EscaRosa federal employees, both military and civilian, certainly proved those words to be true. In a time of national economic hardship, (federal employees) came together to raise more than $821,831 for many worthy charities, locally, nationally and internationally, reflecting an extraordinary increase of 11 percent over 2008s contributions, Denson said. Even though this is not the highest amount ever raised, it is the highest local increase since the aftermath of 9/11. The overwhelming success of the 2009 CFC can be attributed to many dedicated individuals and organizations, all of whom deserve special thanks, Denson added. Rear Adm. Joseph F.

Thanks to their tireless devotion and the help of the local community, more than 12,000 toys have been delivered at the Salvation Army on Q Street. A multitude of local business have been vital to this years drive, including Toys R Us and Wal-Mart. Toys R Us opened their doors on several occasions for toy drives and as a result donated more than $10,000 in toys. Wal-Mart made their facilities available for Marines to collect donations and in a one-day toy drive helped collect more than $5,000 in toys. The community this year has been especially generous. Among the thousands of individual volunteers many groups have pulled together to donate.

NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Bill Reavey presented the Captains Cup to Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC) and Capt. Miller presented the final traveling trophy, the Campaign Chairpersons Cup, to Naval Operational Medicine Institute (NOMI). The CFC Volunteer of the Year (Menard Award) was presented to Stan Harper from the Whiting Field Navy Exchange. In all, more than 51 of the 78 military, civilian DoD, USPS, and other federal employee offices exceeded their goals and were presented with a command gold certificate. I would like to extend a huge thank you to all the federal employees who took part in this years campaign, Denson told the audience. I applaud each and every person who put their time and effort into this program, he said. I would also like to thank the federal offices who allowed CFC staff to visit their workplace and educate their employees about CFC. We have found that a clear understanding of the program puts donors at ease, which we all need, now more than ever. And thanks again to the EscaRosa federal community for choosing to make a huge difference in the lives of others.PAMO from page 1OPNAV instruction 1214.11. In order to be approved an officer must complete a minimum of 24 months at both an organizational level maintenance and at an intermediate level maintenance, complete at least one operational deployment of at least 90 days while assigned in an aviation maintenance officer billet. After completion of these requirements, officers must demonstrate a specific and professional knowledge that is relevant to aviation maintenance during an oral examination. The final approval is through Commander Naval Air Forces, Aircraft Maintenance Policy Officer. Only 365 officers have qualified to wear this warfare insignia to date. Those officers that are included are aerospace maintenance duty officers, aviation maintenance limited duty officers and aviation maintenance chief warrant officers. The actual warfare device is gold and silver metal showing the silver eagle and shield superimposed over gold aviation wings with a gold banner depicting aero maintenance. This designation recognized the aviation ground officers who support the Navys aviation mission and war fighting capabilities. As Kilkenny said, Without the maintainers we dont fly. Cell phone penalties from page 1Civilians can be ticketed for violating the cell phone policy. Nonbase connected civilians will receive a U.S. District Court violation which will result in a federal court visit and a fine (if convicted), said Wright. All-base affiliated civilians will receive an Armed Forces Traffic violation which will result in suspension of driving privileges onboard all Pensacola Navy facilities. Another point to mention is that cell phone use off base is prohibited while driving a government vehicle. Cell phone usage will result in a traffic stop, as it is a primary traffic offense. Also, any Bluetooth devices that sit on the ear, blocking the aural canal are not authorized. According to Wright, any device that is hands free only, such as OnStar or Sync or any other device which does not require the use of hands for dialing or activating is authorized. This policy applies to all NASP facilities, including Corry Station, Corry housing annex, Navy Exchange and Commissary Mall, Saufley Field and Blue Angel Navy Recreation area. The increased punishment comes on the heels of an executive order signed by President Barack Obama on Oct. 1, 2009 that prohibits text messaging while driving. According to this order, recent deadly crashes involving drivers distracted by text messaging while behind the wheel highlight a growing danger on our roads. This order prohibits text messaging while operating by federal employees a government-owned vehicle, or when driving a privately owned vehicle on official government business, or when using electronic equipment supplied by the government while driving. The prohibition of cell phone usage while driving is to help save lives, reduce injuries and set an example for others.

GOSPORT December 18, 2009PAGE3By Carissa Bergosh School Liaison Officer for NASPMost children and their families get excited about moving to a new community. It is an opportunity to start afresh, make new friends, explore different scenery and maybe get your own bedroom. But the other side of moving for children is leaving friends and starting in a new school. While you may be concerned about housing, a job and new clothes due to a climate change, your children hone in on what will have the greatest impact on them school. Roughly 16 million American families move each year. And the adjustment can be hard on kids. One of the keys to making it easier is time. Psychologist Gary Santavicca says: In general, the more preparation you have, the easier a transition is. So, he says, start talking about the move as early as possible. And include the kids. Have them get online to learn about the new citys zoo, their new school or the nearest park. Different things to help them feel like theyre helping to make it happen, and its a family project, he says. Totally preventing moving anxiety may not be possible, but attempts to do so can benefit all in the family not just the children. Consider three key elements: reliability, routine and relationships. By promoting these three elements, youll experience a more positive move for everyone. Check with the school liaison officer at the new installation for names of students at the school who would be willing to become e-mail buddies. You can get in touch with the SLO at your new installation by calling the SLO at your current installation or Googling Navy School Liaison Officer. The school liaison officer may be able to put you in contact with the schools counselor who can provide information about specific information. So as you approach the first day, establish a regular bedtime routine and morning routine. Make sure that he has clothes that are appropriate for the schools dress code. The school counselor can help the teachers receiving your children to build strategies for establishing positive relationships with them. By sharing information about your children before they arrive will give the teacher and the class time to prepare a welcoming atmosphere. Bergosh can be reached via e-mail at carissa.bergosh@ navy.mil or by calling 293-0322.Moving during the holidays? Some helpful advice Nothing to fear, but don’t take H1N1 lightlyBy Cmdr. Jack Wyland, MC Director of Public Health at Naval Hospital PensacolaFirst seen in early 2009, H1N1, also known as swine flu, actually contains components of pig, bird and human viruses. While H1N1 should not be taken lightly, it is also nothing to fear. It has many similarities with the seasonal flu which we deal with each year. Like seasonal flu, most cases of H1N1 are mild and require nothing more than rest, hydration and possibly over-thecounter symptomatic medications. A small percentage of H1N1 cases develop into severe illness and deaths have occurred, but are rare. The vast majority of severe cases have occurred in people with a condition associated with increased risk such as pregnancy, weakened immune systems, diabetes, heart or kidney disease and asthma. Children, especially those under 2, are also at increased risk. Compared to seasonal flu, which more commonly occurs in people over the age of 65, this age group appears to have some prior immunity to H1N1 thus less likely to catch H1N1 but they remain at increased risk for severe illness if they do. Prescription antiviral medications are often used in severe or high-risk cases but prophylactic treatment is now considered in only rare instances. Your physician should be familiar with when these medications are needed. Both H1N1 and seasonal flu are much easier to prevent on paper than in actual practice. If everyone were to get vaccinated and practice good hygiene, the spread of disease would be significantly curtailed. Infected people can spread the virus with a cough or sneeze. The H1N1 virus is believed to remain infectious on untreated objects for a few hours. If someone touches an object with the virus on it and then touches his mouth or nose, he can become infected. When you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or cough or sneeze into your sleeve. Using your hands as was taught in the past may spread the virus when you later touch something and remember to wash your hands often with soap and water or use an antibacterial hand gel. Good hygiene remains important at all times because infected people may spread the virus from one day before they even feel sick all the way out to one week after they feel better (possibly longer in children). Symptoms of H1N1 are similar to the seasonal flu, but tend to come on more rapidly, often over only a few hours. They can include a dry cough, chest discomfort, aches and pains, headache, stomach upset, chills and fatigue. Congestion and sore throat occur less often. Fever is common, but not present in all cases. STAY HOME: If you think you have the flu, stay home unless you have an urgent need that cannot wait until you feel better. You can call your doctor for advice. You can return to your normal routine when 24 hours has elapsed since you had a fever (while off fever reducing medications). Persons who have come into contact with someone with H1N1 can continue their normal routine unless they experience symptoms themselves, at which time they should also stay home. Anyone with a condition (mentioned above) that puts them at increased risk or those who believe they may be experiencing severe symptoms should contact their physician without delay. Like seasonal flu, the absolute best way to prevent H1N1 is to get vaccinated. Certain military and civilian facilities are now giving the H1N1 vaccine to those at increased risk. As availability increases over the next few weeks, everyone will be able to receive it. Your physicians office should be aware of where H1N1 vaccine is currently available. Be smart and stay healthy. Seasonal flu vaccines are currently available at NH Pensacola. The H1N1 vaccine from the Defense Departments stockpile was tentatively scheduled to arrive by mid-December. More than 100 H1N1 vaccines, from the Health and Human Services stockpile, were made available to NH Pensacola for its designated high-risk patients in early November.

The wreaths are part of the Wreaths Across America project. Last year about 1,000 were placed at Barrancas. Each year a different section is designated to receive the wreaths since there are roughly 38,000 grave sites at the cemetery. A group of 46 Young Marines and 12 staff members put 350 wreaths in place. Marine Capt. Kenneth Morrow, who serves as the commanding officer of the group, said he couldnt be prouder. They learn and do so much from and for the community, it is amazing, he said. Buster Hartford, who organizes the annual event at NASP, said this years support was much better than expected. Its kind of amazing that even the way the economy is today, people still want to honor the veterans, Hartford said. Its quite heartwarming. The ceremony that followed the wreath laying coincided with the laying of the wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. Wreaths were laid at 350 sites nationwide and around the world.

GOSPORT December 18, 2009PAGE5NCIS crime reduction program targets sexual assault preventionNCIS planned to use command briefings and community outreach events to educate Sailors and Marines about the risks of victimization and the repercussions of criminal sexual behavior, with emphasis on alcohol-facilitated sexual assaults and bystander intervention. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus hosted the first Department of the Navy (DoN) Sexual Assault Prevention Summit at the Washington Navy Yard in September, where senior military and civilian DON leaders interacted with subject matter experts to develop effective prevention strategies designed to eliminate sexual assault in the Navy and Marine Corps. NCIS is incorporating information from this conference in its sexual assault prevention campaign. Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 6495.01 defines sexual assault as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, threats, intimidation, abuse of authority, or a situation in which the victim does not or cannot consent. NCIS Special Agent Patty Lyons, the family and sexual violence agent at Quantico, Va., said more than 75 percent of her cases are sexual assault cases. She said its important to focus on sexual assault prevention because many Sailors and Marines dont know the impact that comes with a sex crime conviction. Many of these young men and women dont understand that if convicted of a sex crime, most will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of their lives, said Lyons, who has worked sexual assault cases for 20 years as a Marine criminal investigator, Marine special agent, and an NCIS agent. Lyons said the majority of her cases involve alcohol, acquaintances, and coworkers. More than 80 percent of rape victims know their assailant. NCIS statistics show most military sexual assaults occur in barracks, off-base apartments, and rented hotel rooms, and most of those incidents involve alcohol consumption by the victim, suspect, or both parties. When drinking, Sailors and Marines should use the buddy system and make sure that their buddy isnt drinking too much, said Lyons. Other NCIS tips to help prevent sexual assaults include drinking responsibly, knowing personal drinking limits, knowing a partners age, and agreeing not to leave parties or bars with new friends. Special Agent Carrie Nelson, CRP coordinator, said another key factor in preventing sexual assaults is bystander intervention. It is simply standing up and doing the right thing. Its intervening on your buddys behalf when you see him or her taking advantage of someone too intoxicated to understand whats happening. Its making sure your shipmate gets home safely. Its preventing an assault before it happens, said Nelson. Bystander intervention is an obligation that every one of us shares. It is our duty to step up and stop someone from becoming a perpetrator or a victim. Some examples of bystander intervention include making up an excuse to get someone away from a risky situation, pointing out disrespectful behavior, recommending to a bartender or party host that someone has had too much to drink, trying to keep someone from going to an isolated location, and maybe even calling the police. Nelson pointed out that the most effective intervention often involves taking action before a crime can occur. She added it is important for bystanders to always keep themselves safe, know options that are available, attempt to have other people assist, and avoid violence. Lyons said victims of sexual assault should report the incident immediately, as valuable evidence can be obtained. So many folks dont want to have the stigma of Im one of them, said Lyons. The reality of it is sexual assault is one of those crimes that will only increase if the suspect isnt caught. If someone gets away with it once, they will normally try it again and again. The Department of Defense (DoD) has two sexual assault reporting policies: restricted and unrestricted. Under restricted reporting, a victim may only notify a victim advocate, sexual assault response coordinator (SARC), healthcare provider, and chaplain. Law enforcement is not notified and an investigation will not be initiated. Victims will be provided a victim advocate and will sign a statement of reporting preference. With unrestricted reporting, an official law enforcement investigation is initiated, victims will be provided a victim advocate, a SARC will monitor their care, and victims will be updated monthly on the status of the investigation. Once a victim decides on unrestricted reporting, they cant go back and change it to restricted reporting. Victims of sexual assault or people with information about a sexual assault can call the NCIS Hotline at 1 (877) 579-3648, or the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1 (800) 656-4673, which will connect the caller to a local rape crisis center. Personnel stationed overseas may utilize the NCIS hotline, contact their local NCIS office, or email ncistipline@ncis.navy.mil. The CRP, launched in October 2008 and spearheaded by NCIS, is an awareness and education program that unites law enforcement and community service organizations with a shared goal of educating Sailors and Marines about common threats to their safety. The CRP has successfully completed four awareness campaigns focusing on domestic violence, identity theft, child abuse and narcotics abuse. NCIS is a federal law enforcement agency that protects and defends the U.S. Department of the Navy against terrorism and foreign intelligence threats, investigates major criminal offenses and provides law enforcement and security services to the Navy and Marine Corps on a worldwide basis. For more news from Naval Criminal Investigative Service, visit www.navy.mil/ local/ncis/.By MC1(SW/AW) Kristen Allen Naval Criminal Investigative Service Public AffairsWASHINGTON (NNS) The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Crime Reduction Program (CRP) focused its first quarter campaign of the 2010 fiscal year on sexual assault prevention. Onboard NAS Pensacola, anyone interested in contacting NCIS concerning sexual assault can call the NASP office at 452-4211. NCIS Special Agent Chris Ahr gives briefs to base commands on sexual assault preventative measures and welcomes questions service members may have. (NCIS) is firmly behind the DoD and Navy and Marine Corps mission, Ahr said. We take it as one of our most serious offenses and take a proactive approach to prevent these things from happening. Our goal is awareness and prevention and we take these (holiday) times to really spearhead that and make a concerted effort to prevent future incidents from happening.

PAGE GOSPORT 6 December 18, 2009 Inventor of ‘Dilbert Dunker’ visits NAS Whiting FieldBy Ens. Joanna Clark Naval Air Station Whiting FieldWith an unsavory reputation for discomfort and the look of a middle-ages torture device, the Dilbert Dunker might not be the first choice for a happy look down memory lane. However, the device is credited with possibly saving thousands of aviators lives and the inventor of the training contraption is justifiably proud of his progeny. Wilfred Kaneb, who currently resides in Ontario, Canada, began designing and building the dunker in 1943. He was tasked with the duty of creating a mechanism to simulate engine failure at takeoff from a carrier, as many pilots who crashed in this scenario during World War II did not survive. The Army colonel said somebody has got to teach them what it is like to be drowning, Kaneb recollected. It took us between six months to a year to design and build it. Kaneb visited Naval Air Station Whiting Field recently to see one of only four Dunkers created. On display at the bases atrium with other pieces of naval aviation history, this Dilbert Dunker was used for water survival training at both Naval Air Station Pensacola and NAS Whidbey Island. The dunker is a piece of history to many aviators at NAS Whiting Field, including Commanding Officer, Capt. Pete Hall and Executive Officer Cmdr. Anne Chapman. More than 8,000 aviators have trained on the Dilbert Dunker. The device was removed from service as the Naval Operational Medicine Institute at NASP replaced it with the Aircrew Water Survival Training Facility a few years ago. We have a little bit of our history in here, Chapman said. I mean, I rode in here. Hall added, referring to the Dilbert Dunker, If you think of all the people who have gone through this one, all the astronauts, the people who went to the moon They all had to go through Pensacola, through this one. Four of these devices surfaced in the fleet, all hand made and tested by Kaneb and a small team of engineers. Because there was no assembly line to build these machines, they had to be individually tested, and they didnt always work on the first try. Testing these devices could not have been pleasant, as many would gather from the dunkers film debut in An Officer and a Gentleman. The flight candidate would be strapped into a mock cockpit, place his hands on the throttle and stick and be lifted in a cart a few meters out of the water. The cart would then come crashing into the water, flip up-side-down, and the candidate would then (with water in every sinus) have to orient himself and escape from the pilot seat. We tested a lot of airplanes (Dilbert Dunkers), Kaneb said. I liked it, though, because it was worth it. Many will tell you that, although it was not a pleasant experience to traverse the path of this mechanism in action, if they were to go down in an aircraft they would be grateful they had the training. Capt. Hall stated, reminiscing his water survival training, I know it gave me the confidence to get out of the water.Avoiding stress during holidaysFrom National Naval Medical Center Public AffairsBETHESDA, Md. The holiday season may be a time to celebrate with friends and family, but for those who wont have an opportunity to see their loved ones, it may be a time of increased stress and hardship. The holidays increase stress, both in positive and negative ways, so its a more challenging time for some people, said Cmdr. James West, the behavioral health department head here at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC). For someone having depression, the holidays can be very difficult, particularly for young service members. This might be the first holiday they had to spend away from family. That can be traumatic. Signs of depression include feeling sad every day with a lost of interest in pleasurable activities, West said. Some people may experience sleep disruption, loss of energy, loss of appetite and feelings of guilt. In extreme cases of depression, some people may exhibit suicidal thoughts or actions. These are manifested in threatening to hurt oneself, talking or writing about death, uncontrolled anger, increased drug and alcohol use and dramatic mood changes. It is important to reconnect with friends, family, community or church groups to reduce the stress of the holidays, West said. These give a great deal of support and strength. The holidays can be a very positive, uplifting time to re-establish these connections, he said. One way to ease the burden of loneliness is to focus on having social support systems, West said. Jenny Charson, marketing director for NNMCs Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) center, recommends getting involved with any of the programs that are offered regularly on base such as weekend outings at reduced costs, movie nights and a free dinner every night before a scheduled pay day. These events target enlisted personnel, primarily E-1 through E-6. Staying healthy and fit is a great way to remain positive, Charson said. Capt. Pete Hall, (right ) Commanding officer at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, chats with Wilfred Kaneb, the inventor of the Dilbert Dunker. Photo by Ens. Miles Hooper The Dilbert Dunker. Photo courtesy of http://nasgi.org From Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the NavyWASHINGTON (NNS) One week after his Facebook page, www.facebook.com/mcpon, surpassed 10,000 fans, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)(SS/SW) Rick D. West used the Web site to announce his intent to further leverage social media as a significant communications device. West, in a note he posted to Facebook in early December, said he anticipates another thousand fans by Christmas, and that the response hes received from Sailors and Navy families has been surprising and encouraging. He also said that the real value of social media is the opportunity to share ideas. We started out tentatively and thats fine. But, now that we have momentum, I believe we should push it even further. I want to start putting your best ideas on our page, West wrote. Is your command doing something like that? If so, let us know. We want to introduce that idea to the fleet and leverage it for the good of all Sailors. West unveiled his public Facebook page June 25 and has been aggressive in tackling subjects Sailors around the Navy tell him they are most concerned with. Weve discussed the wear policy for the NWU and your feedback made its way to our CNO. Weve discussed women aboard submarines and the debates on that subject have been enlightening and well-spoken. Almost every decision or new policy released or considered in the last half-year has been brought up here and discussed. I find that is immensely gratifying, and I hope it continues. MCPON wrote that he hopes for even more interaction in the coming months, but pointed that it has never been his intent to use Facebook, or any form of social media, to subvert a Sailors standard chain of command. West said that many times the responses he provides to Sailors questions are short and to the point.

When I was young, my family was so poor that for Christmas we got batteries with a note attached saying, “Toy not included.”ELVES LIGHTS NATIVITY REINDEER SANTA SLED SNOWMAN STAR TREES WREATH Twas the Night before Christmas...Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winters nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all! As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.by Clement Clarke Moore First published anonymously in 1823, the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” also known as “The Night Before Christmas,” helped create the modern-day conception of Santa Claus.

By Crysta Baker Special to GosportCub Scouts Pack 632 in conjunction with Air Operations cleaned the area around Lake Frederick Nov. 21. The NASP Air Operations department, led by Lt. Gary Lane, scheduled the clean up to assist the Scouts in earning the scouting Leave No Trace award as well as teaching the boys about the ecosystems of northwest Florida. The Leave No Trace award is awarded to the Cub Scouts for proving that they understand how to protect the outdoors by following front-country guidelines. Seven Cub Scouts came out to Lake Frederick, along with parents, siblings and volunteer service members from Air Operations. Several large bags of trash were removed from the area. Even though the weather forecast was rain, the Scouts spirits werent dampened. The frocking ceremony is a Navy tradition that provides the selected Sailors an opportunity to wear the uniform and take on the responsibilities of their new rank before they are formally advanced. Second class petty officers were frocked to first class, third class petty officers were frocked to second class and airmen were frocked to third class. This is a happy event, said Capt. Pete Hall, NAS Whiting Field commanding officer. Its nice to be able to reward the efforts of good Sailors and to see the results of their hard work. Twelve Sailors from NAS Whiting Field were selected for advancement including: AC1 Christopher Duffie; AC2 Joshua Barbier, Ashley Coleman, Eric Rhodes and Adriana AyaLabarcellos; AC3 Timothy Egerdahl, Glory Peak and Jermaine Roby; AB1 Leonardo Treggi; AB2 Larry Barron, Gilbert June, and Andrew McDougle. Each Sailor received a frocking letter from Hall which reads in part, Your appointment carries with it the obligation that you exercise increased authority and willingly accept greater responsibility. Occupying now a position of greater authority, you must strive with a renewed dedication toward the valued ideal of service with honor. The ceremony was held at the bases operations department auditorium.

Story, photo by Jay Cope NASWF PAOFor the 18th consecutive year, Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field has achieved designation from the National Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for its dedication to conservation and urban renewal. The base planted a live oak tree to recognize its completion of the requirements and to celebrate the accomplishment Dec. 10. The Arbor Day Foundation presented a proclamation and banner to the command to recognize the achievement. Capt. Pete Hall, NAS Whiting Field commanding officer read the proclamation to the assembled Whiting Field team members and the skipper threw in the first shovelful of dirt along with Public Works Officer Lt. Cmdr. Leaf Ballast and Environmental Program Manager Ron Cherry. The ceremony is only the final step in the process. Throughout the year, the NAS Whiting Field Natural Resources team has to: ensure an allocated cost is directed toward forestry projects (this has to exceed $2 per person on the base), maintain an Urban Forestry Ordnance, and have a board with regular meetings. All of the requirements serve to raise the awareness of how important trees are to our society. Not only do they provide a natural beauty, but trees also give shade, help to lower temperatures in urban areas, increase the oxygen level in their areas, and help to cleanse pollutants from groundwater and the air. Base forestry programs in 2009 nearly reached $90,000 of maintenance for existing woodlands and more than 300 pine seedlings were planted with the help of local Boy Scouts. Similar seedlings will continue to be planted in 2010. The amount invested in maintenance was approximately 10 times the necessary amount to qualify for the program. Whiting Field will continue to annually celebrate Tree Awareness Week Hall said as he read the proclamation, and recognize the importance of preserving and managing our trees throughout the year, improving our environment and demonstrating our responsibility as public lands stewards.
