on roads

By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff
Naval Submarine Base Kings
Bay Security Department
and the Georgia and Florida
Highway Patrols got together to
show a team effort in keeping
the roads safe.
The three law enforcement
agencies gathered Thursday,
Jan. 22, to talk about using
cell phones for emergency
response.
"Whether it is the Click it
or Ticket campaign or Hands
Across the Border, we are
dedicated to assisting in keep-
ing the roads safe and serv-
ing and protecting the public,
said Naval Submarine Base
Kings Bay Acting Security
Officer Bud Lett. "I strongly
encourage people to use the
*GSP for emergency assis-
tance in Georgia and the *FHP
for Florida. It works from any
cell phone. If you see an acci-
dent or an emergency situa-
tion, please dial the number
for assistance."'
The emergency numbers for
each state are for cell phone
use and cover emergency situ-
ations only. It is for report-
ing accidents, reckless and
Driving Under the Influence
offenses you witness. It is for
immediate needs only, not
information.
The number for information
is 511, and it is a toll free num-
ber that can be dialed from
a home or cell phone. This is
a new service that gives you
weather, traffic, points of inter-
est, hotels and attractions and
other information.
Kings Bayhas enjoyed a good
relationship with both Florida
and Georgia law enforcement,
partnering on Labor Day for
the Hands Across the Border
campaign, which targets holi-
day DUI incidents. The agen-
cies also partner and support
for Click It or Ticket, an educa-
tional campaign designed stop
people from driving without a
seat belt.
"If you witness or need
immediate help, call FHP on
your cell phone'," said Florida
Highway Patrol Lt. Bill Leeper
said. "It will get you immedi-
ate assistance. When driving,
watch out for motorcycles.
They are harder to see and
less protected on the road.
Don't be too aggressive or in
a hurry. Better to be late and
safe than not show up at all.
Most accidents happen close
to the home, so don't get com-
placent just because the trip is
almost over."
You can get more informa-
tion about the 511 information
line at www.511 ga.org.
Georgia State Patrol Trooper
Andy Sinquefield said he likes
the new phone service.
"As long as people use the
line for its original purpose,
the phone lines are going to
make the peoples lives less
stressful in stressful situa-
tions," Sinquefield said. "I want
people to know that we are not
supposed to use the [*GSP]
number for general informa-
tion. But, the numbers work
very well, and the system is
much faster than the 911 sys-
tem. And, the new 511 system
is great. You can pretty much
find out any basic information
about an area that you may
need."
Naval Submarine Base Kings
Bay Commanding Officer
Capt. Ward Stevens presented
each of the states' represen-
tatives with a command coin
showing appreciation for the
work that law officers do.

Naval Submarine Base Kings
Bay celebrated a Change of
Charge Ceremony January 14
in which Cmdr. Neil Heimer
was relieved by Cmdr. Danny
Denton as Officer in Charge
of Naval Branch Health Clinic
Kings Bay.
A hearty crowd of civilian
and Navy employees alongside
Kings Bay's leaders and those
from the clinic's main hub in
Jacksonville, stood witness.
"I'm certainly glad to be
here'," said Denton, who cel-
ebrates his 20th year in the
Navy this month. "I would
hope that we can continue to
provide safe, quality, effective
care to all the beneficiaries. I
look forward to great things
happening here at Kings Bay
Naval Branch Clinic."


Denton was "coaxed" to
Kings Bay from Naval Medical
Center Portsmouth, Va., with
promises of warm weather by
Naval Hospital Jacksonville
Commanding Officer Bruce
Gillingham, who spoke dur-
ing the ceremony, welcom-
ing Denton to his new duty
station. As for Heimer, he
is headed to Navy Medical
Embedded Training Team at a
yet unknown location.
When asked about his future
plans with the clinic and his
staff, Denton said, "I thinkyou
have to trust your people and
instill that trust and leadership
into them and not to micro-
manage, because we all have
too many things to do. They
need room to grow and for
the most part they appreciate
taking the ball and running
with it."

Biden: Military focus shifting to Afghanistan


By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service

As U.S. forces become more
engaged with the enemy in
Afghanistan, there may well
be a rise in American casual-
ties, Vice President Joe Biden
said Sunday.
In an interview on CBS' Face
the Nation, Biden described
the security conditions in
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
- a trio of countries he recent-
ly visited and President
Barack Obama's decision to
close the U.S. detention center
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
He said Afghanistan has
deteriorated due to a failure
to provide sufficient eco-
nomic, political and military
resources, as well as a lack of
coherent policy among allies
involved there. The Taliban
are in "effective control" of sig-
nificant parts of the country,
he added.
"The bottom line here is
we've inherited a real mess,"
he said. "We're about to go in
and try to essentially reclaim
territory that's been effectively
lost."
Biden said more troops are
necessary in Afghanistan,
where an estimated 25,000
additional U.S. forces are
expected to deploy over the
next 12 to 18 months, accord-
ing to defense officials. Some
34,000 U.S. servicemembers
currently are there.
"It's going to require ...
some additional military


Review prompts budget delay


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

President Barack Obama's 2010 defense
budget request will be delayed, possibly until
April, White House and Defense Department
officials said.
The president's annual budget request usu-
ally is submitted to Congress the first Monday
in February. However, with only a week in
office, the new administration will need more
time for a substantial review of the submis-
sion, officials said.
Office of Management and Budget officials
projected the delay in April and sent a mem-
orandum delaying the budget submission.


forces. There are going to
be additional efforts to train
their police and to train their
Afghan army," he said. "And all
of that means we're going to
be engaging the enemy more."
Describing other factors in
Afghanistan, the vice president
said corruption is rife among
the ranks of Afghan National
Police, and that the country is
the source of 95 percent of the
world's opium and heroin.
Asked if intensified engage-
ment would lead to more
American casualties, Biden
said, "I hate to say it, but yes, I
think there will be an up-tick."
"As the commander in
Afghanistan said, 'We will get
this done, but we're going
to be engaging the enemy
much more,'" Biden said,


Civilian and military financial experts have
prepared a draft budget for review by admin-
istration officials.
They will issue budget guidance via the
Office of Management and Budget, which
will guide the department.
Officials said they expect this guidance to
come to the Pentagon "shortly," and Defense
Department finance officials are prepared to
move quickly to apply the guidance to the
submission.
It is possible that the total Defense
Department request, known as the "topline"
number, may be released earlier than April,
but that must wait on the more detailed sub-
mission, officials said.


quoting Army Gen. David D.
McKiernan, commander of
NATO's International Security
Assistance Force and U.S. forc-
es in Afghanistan.
Biden met with McKiernan
earlier this month during a
Middle East fact-finding mis-
sion that brought the then-vice
president-elect to Afghanistan,
Pakistan and Iraq.
The vice president said the
United States is making prog-
ress in Pakistan, where the
national army has increased its
level of cooperation in policing
a contentious region near the
Afghan border known as the
federally administered tribal
areas, which he characterized
as an ungovernable swath of
land that is home to al-Qaida
and other enemy combatants.


"We're in the process of
working with the Pakistanis to
help train up their counterin-
surgency capability, their mil-
itary, and we're getting new
agreements with them about
how to deal with cross-border
movements of these folks'," he
said. "So we're making prog-
ress."
He underscored that the
president has pledged he
would not hesitate to use
action against high-level al-
Qaida personnel in the area.
Using a football metaphor to
describe the situation in Iraq,
Biden said the United States is
on the 20-yard line, which in
football terms is 80 percent of
the way to the goal.
"But now comes the really
hard part. The surge did work.


Our military has done every-
thing we've asked of them, but
there needs to be a political
reconciliation in Iraq," he said,
pointing to the three elections
slated for 2009 as key indica-
tors.
He also emphasized the
need for laws determining
how oil revenues and politi-
cal power will be distributed.
Biden hailed the status-of-
forces agreement that took
effect Jan. 1 and will guide the
security relationship between
Washington and Baghdad as a
"strong sign" of Iraqi political
movement.
"There's progress being
made on it," he said of recon-
ciliation among Iraq's ethnic
groups, "but we need a much
stronger push, and there has
to be an additional show of
responsibility on the part of
the Iraqi leaders that they're
able to govern.
Biden also discussed
Obama's order to close the
Guantanamo Bay detention
center in Cuba within a year.
He said shuttering the facil-
ity presents difficult decisions,
including where to relocate
detainees, but that closure
will be achieved within the 12-
month timeline.
The vice president said
detainees will not be
released within the United
States because, aside from
one detainee, they are not
American nationals, and

LOCAL NEWS & VsEWS


Briefly Speaking


PSD has new hours in work schedule
Personnel Support Detachment ID card section
recently expanded service hours. The ID card section
will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. Personnel
are encouraged to utilize the new ID card appoint-
ment scheduling Web site. Appointments are available
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons from 1:30
to 4:30 p.m. To access the ID card appointment sched-
uler, visit https://es.cac.navy.mil/signup.pl. Be sure
you use the PSD Kings Bay link, not the NSD Kings Bay
link.
Additionally, the dynatouch kiosk located in the Navy
Exchange may be used to schedule appointments.
Personnel without appointments will be assisted as
scheduling permits during these times. The ID card
section is open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and 9
a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Timely personnel transactions vital
Department of Defense policy is to achieve a 99
percent timeliness rate for associated pay transactions.
While the local Personnel Support Detachment has a
major role and responsibility in the timely submission
of transactions, personnel administrations, CPCs, the
service member and his/her command is ultimately
responsible for providing the required documenta-
tion to PSD in a timely manner. It is imperative that
personnel who divorce, marry, have a child, occupy
government quarters or move out, come to PSD within
five working days to update their Page Two and to turn
in all associated documentation. This ensures all pay
entitlements are stopped, changed or started, ensuring
no overpayments are posted to the service members
pay account.
It is imperative that your CPCs, Admin Office's and
Chain of Commands disseminate this information
to your Sailors to ensure they understand the impor-
tance of turning in their paperwork to PSD as soon as
it is available. Timeliness associated with personnel
transactions (officer and enlisted), specifically: Gains/
Losses/Reenlistments/Extensions/UAs/NJPs/Crew
Changes/Leave impact operational planning, person-
nel accounting, and mission success. To be consistent
with DOD pay policy, Navy policy is to achieve a 99
percent timeliness rate for all personnel transactions
within four working days of the effective date. Effective
immediately, PSD Kings Bay will closely monitor all
paperwork received for submission and will provide
feedback on each commands timeliness via an end of
month message.

New photos needed for officer records

color photograph in their military file. Officers who
do not have a photograph on the electronic military
personnel records system in their grade must submit
a photograph. The preferred uniform will be service
khaki without a cover. When service khaki is unavail-
able, any regulation uniform is acceptable. The public
affairs center detachment at NS Mayport, Fla., is the
tri-base source for all official photographs. It is recom-
mended officers needing a full-length photo for selec-
tion board call (904) 270-7762 and set up an appoint-
ment. When facilities are not available, officers are
authorized to use commercial sources. If commercial
sources are unavailable, officer may submit any color
photograph that complies with the requirements out-
lined in MILPERSMAN 1070-180.

Tax-preparation tips help for military


Shortly following the
holidays, our thoughts
turn to taxes. Yup, it's
that time. Military W-2s are
now available, and for most of
us that means we are eagerly
tackling tax preparation to
hasten the arrival of our
return.
I have a few tips and
resources to offer military
families.
Military pay sometimes
presents a few challenges.
Reliable information will
insure your tax return is
processed quickly and accu-
rately. There are several free
resources available to military
families. Military Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance is
available on your local base.
Military VITA sites provide
free tax advice, tax prepara-
tion and assistance to military
members and their families.
VITA volunteers are trained
and equipped to address mili-
tary specific tax issues such
as combat zone tax benefits,
relocation and much more.
You can electronically submit
your return at most VITA loca-


tions and receive your elec-
tronic refund, without fees, in
as little as a few days. Contact
your local family support cen-
ter for information on your
base VITA office.
Military One Source also
provides free tax consultation
and filing services to military
and their families. Register
at www.militaryonesource.
com to access TaxCut Basic,
a product of H&R Block. You
will be able to e-file one state
return for each federal return
filed through TaxCut Online.
Consultants are also available


to answer questions.
Turbo Tax, at www.tur-
botax.com, also is offering
free federal income tax prepa-
ration and free e-file is includ-
ed. There is a small fee to add
a state tax return.
Let's talk a moment about
Rapid Refunds. I don't know
anyone who wants to wait
for that tax refund. However,
a Rapid Refund may not be
the blessing it appears to
be. Rapid refund or Refund
Advanced Loan services are
actually giving you a loan
against your anticipated tax
refund. As with all loans there,
is a finance charge assessed.
You are paying money to get
your refund early. The fees
associated with these RALs
can be significant. Make sure
you understand all fees before
signing.
In addition to finance or
processing fees associated
with an RAL, it is important
to know that if for any rea-
son your refund is denied,
adjusted or delayed you are
still responsible for repaying
that RAL. So there is a risk


involved.
But there is one more point
to consider in getting a rapid
refund. By electronically filing
your return with the IRS, your
refund is generally processed
in under one week. Is it worth
paying a portion of your well-
deserved income tax return
just to get it two or three days
early?

military taxes check out Navy

Life during deployment is what you make it


How do I stop crying??
This is a question
I received from a
young Navy wife, and it hits a
soft spot in all of our hearts.
We have all cried. I have never
met a woman who hasn't at
some point in this crazy Navy
life. In the first few years, I
was lost. I thought I had con-
trol, but I didn't. It just looked
like I did. But on the inside, I
was withering away as each
patrol came and went.
I was becoming stressed,
exhausted and just didn't feel
like my normal energetic self.
This life was wearing on me.
I was always moving and felt
like I could never catch up.
And most of all, I missed my
husband/best friend terribly.
No one looks forward to get-


ting married, just to spend so
much time apart.
Many things had hap-
pened during our first three
years in the Navy. We had
some really hard times (that's
a whole column in itself). All
of us have, some more than


others.
As milspouses, we are
thrown into a world we do not
know. We didn't go to boot
camp and get basic training
like our husbands. Instead, we
got a packet handed to us at
a pre-deployment night that
said, "Welcome to the USS
Where He Works!" Printed
on fancy paper with a large
color picture of the glori-
ous warship itself. Inside the
magnificent packet you will
read: "Here are some phone
numbers if you need help,
someone dies or if you have
a baby ... And here is a list of
things we never want you to
talk about and/or do ... EVER,
or your husband will be ban-
ished punished." Then the CO
and COB would stand up and


give their words of encourage-
ment, "Bravo Zulu, Go Navy....
blah, blah, blah" And then
your husband is gone. JUST-
LIKE-THAT.
You are not prepared for
this. Even if you, your hus-
band and his command did
everything right. No one gets
up at the pre-deployment
night to tell you what it is
really going to be like. None
tells you that you're going to
be lonely, scared, that things
will break and your children
just won't understand.
No one reminds you that
you will be taking on the
world one day at a time as
a single and sometimes
overwhelmed parent. And

The pros and cons of subsidizing the arts


There is a fairly spirited
debate going on these
days in the media. At the
center of it is a proposal by
composer-conductor Quincy
Jones suggesting that our gov-
ernment create a high-level
agency to foster and support
the arts.
Now before you go off on
me for even discussing this,
let's explore some of the argu-
ments for they are interesting
on both sides of the debate.
This discussion takes place
in the hopeful warmth of the
presidential inauguration. My
guess is that, for some, it is the
time to promote some change
at the highest level of govern-
ment, since change seems to
be the watchword of the new
administration.
Basically, the arguments
to the negative fall into two
categories one, as a nation,
we already have the National
Endowment for the Arts and
they already are the national
funding agency for arts grants,
and, two, if this idea means
more taxes and possible gov-
ernment control over artists, it
is a bad idea. On both counts,
these arguments have merit
and are proffered vocifer-
ously.
Of course, they ignore that


our fiscal policy has a long
history of using tax dollars
to subsidize a variety of eco-
nomic endeavors including
milk production, oil drilling,
tobacco farming and auto
production. Nevertheless,
to the casual observer, using
public funds for private use is
usually not an idea that gen-
erates broad public support,
unless you are an autoworker
today.
The arguments for the
creation of some new govern-
mental position and agency
to support and foster arts
programs and education fall
into two categories as well.
Essentially, they are: one, the
U.S. is alone among world
nations in its lack of a nation-
al ministry or cabinet level


agency for the arts, and, two,
promotion of and investment
in the arts generates jobs, tax
revenues, educational pro-
grams and a national appre-
ciation of creativity versus
consumerism. However, these
arguments beg the question
of who decides what gets
supported and fostered, and
how such a program will be
supported in this time of
declining tax revenues and
economic crisis.
One proponent took
another tack and argued that
this petition offered us a new
opportunity to make arts
programming a grass roots
effort. His idea was to "let the
national government fund
art centers for towns, sup-
ply funding for the buildings,
then go away. Let that com-
munity fill them up with local
arts, music, plays, dances,
performances, speakers and
anything else they want. That
way the Feds foster the arts,
but not with too often mis-
guided choices."
Another person observed
that arts programs produce
a economic activity that is of
value to everyone, citing a
recent study on the impact of
the arts in Houston that says
the arts industry is a $626.3
million business there, sup-


porting more than 30,000
full-time jobs, and generat-
ing $69.5 million in local and
state government revenues.
There are many more such
testimonials to the economic
power of the arts at ameri-
cansforthearts.org.
Finally, it must be observed
that other countries have
adopted the idea of a national
arts effort as a part of public
policy. One such country
is Germany, internation-
ally the most economically
viable western nation today.
Perhaps they have developed
an understanding of what
other nations with arts min-
istries realized, that culture is
the touchstone of a society.
Culture and the arts reflect a
nation's values and concepts
of aesthetics. Culture's place
within a society is integral
and deserves to have a unified
voice.
Whatever you believe, it will
be interesting to see how this
debate progresses and what,
if anything, comes of the dis-
cussion. Having the debate is
important and may lead us to
an ability to make important
decisions that will be essential
for our cultural heritage.

I have too. Now is the time to
reverse the process and keep
it reversed. It is also the time
we start tapering off our New
Year's resolutions.
Getting back into shape is
a gigantic misnomer. For one,
a person would have had to
have been in shape at some
point to begin with. None of
us began life with chiseled
abs, bulging chest and bicep
muscles, yet being bom-
barded by advertisements and
entertainment heroes strum-
ming with buff encourages us
to strive for just that look.
Fact is, few ever make it to
that pristine point. Perfect
diets and exercise routines
might get us close, but main-
taining ourselves? That's
reserved for professional
athletes, movie stars and true
health and exercise fanatics.
We're just average Joes who
need to have our pizza nights
and other social gatherings to
maintain an overall healthy
wellbeing.
That brings me to New
Years resolutions and why
most of us give up far before
the we really even get started.
These high hopes aren't
based on realistic goals but
rather unobtainable perfec-
tions.
Case in point: I purchased
the Men's Health 2009
Training Guide shortly after
the clock struck midnight
bringing in 2009. The bold-
est typeface outside the title


up the staying-fit ship


proclaimed, "Fat to Flat in 4
Weeks!" Ridiculous.
Never mind the slightly
overweight, as in 15 to 30
pounds. What about the true
chunkers that really need
some encouragement? They
aren't going to get flat in
four weeks. These magazine
articles and Yahoo home
page proclamations promise
so very much for the sake of
advertising that they simply
fail to address the problem
at hand, that being, semi-
healthy living coupled with
subtle changes in overall
eating and exercise habits
becomes truly much more
satisfying than any specific
diet, exercise routine or over-
priced wonder pill that all
promise big results.
Realistic goals involve cut-
ting out a few cookies here
and there, backing off on the
mayo, staying busy and mov-
ing around. We won't change
old eating habits overnight.
We won't trade every sitcom
for a whirl on the treadmill or
a weight session in the gym.
New Years resolutions
aside, I've probably begun
about five or 10 change-your-
life-around exercise and eat-


ing cycles within the past year.
Then, a busy, bad, crappy
week hits, and I suddenly
trade exercise and salads for
cheeseburgers washed down
with Pabst followed by a few
cigarettes just to get through
it. Once next week rolls
around I've already erased
the few previous positive ones
and give up. What the use?
Now all us resolution mak-
ers are near the month of
February. It is very important
that we all stay strong. Many
comrades have already fallen
out. Gym visits are declining
while potato chips sales are
climbing.
I'm not going to give up,
though. I've even eaten
uncooked, unfried foods that
grow from the ground. Known
as fruits and vegetables, my
observations point to these
foods of prehistoric man the
basis of some sort of trend
towards healthy living.
Jogging around base is
coming around as well. It is
getting easier. Nothing ever
was too complicated about
it. Just one foot in front of the
other, reverse and repeat.
I can't be sure I'll stick with
exercise and vegetables for
months on end. I know I've
not eaten my last value meal.
Besides, if I got in too good of
shape, I would lose all sense
of something to strive for.
Maybe I should just accept my
place in the world of health
- slightly overweight, always
trying to get in shape and
constantly teetering between
grabbing cookies or an apple
for that after-dinner satisfac-
tion.
At least I won't be giving up
entirely anytime soon.

Etowah Park has an abundant
selection of wildlife and plant
life to be enjoyed
By MC3 Eric Tretter
Periscope Staff
Upon arriving at Kings Bay in mid-July, my favorite
haunt quickly became Etowah Park.
Nestled towards the northern end of base near the golf
course, encounters with this naturally pristine chunk
of waterfront land have included jaunts hiking, biking,
motorcycling, driving and kayaking.
The dense maritime forests and saltwater marshes also
make for a fantastic wildlife haven. Encounters with alli-


al treasure


gators and wild pigs have left my blood pumping while
those with deer and a plethora of migratory waterfowl
have invigorated tranquility.
Though many a migrating fowl or seaside creature
shares its territory with lower base submarine opera-
tions, just as they do with miles of developed coastline
north and south of the base, they have full reign over the
grounds of Etowah Park.
"The maritime hardwood forest is fast disappearing
along the coast," said Kings Bay Natural Resource Manager
Paul Schoenfeld. He said the Etowah Park forest provides
a huge canopy for neo-tropical migratory land birds that
breed here between trips to South and Central America.
Nearby Crooked River State Park Naturalist Emily
Hewitt said American Oyster Catchers, Red Breasted and
Hooded Mergansers, and Osprey are some of the many
birds that pass through the area along with White Ibis,


herons, Wood Storks and Snowy Egrets.
The park also offers opportunities for paintball excur-
sions, hunting, a picnic shelter replete with restroom
facilities, fishing, crabbing, boat launching, a number of
trails accessible for foot or bicycle traffic, several photo-
genic animal species, ruins that signify the beginnings
of the county and an overall wildness that trumps many
areas in and around Camden County.
"I've met people who have been on this base for 15 years
that didn't know about Etowah Park," said Ron Cummings
of Morale, Welfare and Recreation's Outdoor Adventures.
Cummings said that along with renting canoes, kay-
aks, campers, tents, tables, chairs, canopies and bicycles,
Outdoor Recreations also offers reservations for Etowah
Park campsites and the paintball range, plus people
are able to purchase state and base hunting and fishing
licenses.

Capstone Concept covers


future of joint operations


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff has signed off
on the Capstone Concept for
Joint Operations, a document
the military will use to help
determine future capabil-
ity development for the joint
force in 2016 through 2028.
U.S. militaryplanners world-
wide will use the Capstone
concept to drive "future joint
solutions and guide future
joint force development work;'
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen said.
U.S. Joint Forces Command
led the concept's develop-
ment, with input from the
military services, combat-
ant commands and the Joint
Staff. This is the concept's first
update since August 2005,
when then-Chairman Air
Force Gen. Richard B. Myers


signed the document.
The capstone concept
details the main security chal-
lenges facing the joint force:
winning the nation's wars,
deterring adversaries, devel-
oping cooperative security,
defending the homeland and
responding to civil crises.
U.S. joint forces "will need
to be able to apply combat
power in more varied, mea-
sured and discriminate ways
than ever before'," the docu-
ment states.
The concept incorporates
lessons learned in current
operations and describes in
broad terms how the joint
force will operate in the com-
plex, changing and uncertain
environments of the future. It
also looks beyond purely mili-
tary solutions, addressing the
fact that conflict today may


not be solved solely with mili-
tary assets.
"Today's challenges and
threats are not strictly military
in nature, solved or countered
by military means alone,"
Mullen said. "We owe future
generations a longer-term
view of security. The concept
is designed to help military
and other national security
leaders think about challeng-
es and opportunities.":'
Training allied militar-
ies may be as important as
employing U.S. combat power,
according to the concept.
The document also empha-
sizes that the American mili-
tary must be ready to handle
a wide range of challenges,
from humanitarian missions
to all-out war.
The concept is a template
planners can use as they look

Mullen speak with members of the press at the Pentagon, Jan. 22.


at specific situations.
It also calls on planners to
assess operations continu-
ally and adjust and adapt as


needed.
Joint Forces Command will
test the concept in a series of
experiments this year, officials


said. Planners will use the
results of these experiments to
inform the next Quadrennial
Defense Review.


Take proper actions when separated from dependents


By Lt. Ryan R. Charles
JAGC

Are you a servicemember
considering a divorce or sep-
aration from your spouse or
legal dependents?
Or, are you a servicemem-
ber who will be physically
separated from your spouse
or legal dependents because
you will be stationed at sea or
overseas?
If yes, and if you serve in
the U.S. Navy, you should
be aware of MILPERSMAN
1754-030, the Navy guide-
lines governing support of
dependents. If you serve in
an Armed Service other than
the Navy, contact your local
legal assistance provider as
each branch has its own regu-
lations governing support of
dependents.
It is the policy of the U.S.
Navy that "[a]ll members shall
provide adequate and contin-
uous support for their lawful
family members and comply
fully with the provisions of
separation agreements and
valid court orders."
MILPERSMAN 1754-030
sets forth the following sup-
port scale to serve as a guide-
line in the absence of a mutual
agreement or court order:
spouse only 1/3 gross
pay
spouse and one minor
child 1/2 gross pay
Spouse and two or more
minor children 3/5 gross
pay
None minor child only 1/6
gross pay
two minor children only
- 1/4 gross pay
three minor children only
- 1/3 gross pay.
Gross pay is calculated as
basic pay and basic allowance
for housing, if entitled. It does
not include special pays, basic
allowance for subsistence
or income from employers
other than the Department of
Defense.
Remember, the guide-
lines only apply if there is
not already a court order or
a mutual agreement between
the spouse and the Sailor gov-
erning support.
In otherwords, where a court
already has set the amount of
support, the court order will
effectively trump the scale set
forth in MILPERSMAN 1754-
030.
Moreover, in cases where
the Sailor and dependent
spouse have negotiated a
support arrangement, this
arrangement also will trump
the guidelines. Practically
speaking, any mutual agree-

Shadow Boxes

ment between a Sailor and
spouse must be in writing,
signed by both parties, and
notarized.
In the case of spousal sup-
port, also called alimony,
MILPERSMAN 1754-030 only
applies until the issuance of a
divorce decree, at which time
support, if any, is governed by
the terms of the decree.
On the other hand, the
guidelines will remain in effect
with respect to child support
where a divorce decree fails to
mention child support, unless
the judicial decree or court
order specifically states that
there is no child support obli-
gation.
Contrary to popular belief,
the consequences of fail-
ing to support one's depen-
dents can be costly. Although
MILPERSMAN 1754-030
does not give commands the
authority to "force" or order
the creation of support allot-
ments, it does provide that
"[t]he member may become
ineligible to reenlist or extend
their enlistment and they will
be subject to administrative
or disciplinary action that
may result in their separa-
tion from the Navy" including
court-martial proceedings.
Noncompliance with the
guidelines also can show up
on fitness and evaluation
reports.
Moreover, failing to support
one's dependents can have
consequences that affect the
non-supporting Sailor's com-
mand, negatively impacting
mission readiness of their
shipmates i.e., having to
respond to investigations by
the Inspector General of the
Navy or congressional inqui-
ries.
Additionally, Sailors receiv-
ing BAH at the "with depen-
dents" rate who are not pro-
viding any support to their
dependents are subject to
prosecution for BAH fraud.
A Sailor who believes there
are fairness reasons why he
or she should not be subject
to the guidelines can submit
a request of waiver of sup-
port to Defense Finance and
Accounting Service. Waivers
may be granted for the sup-
port of a spouse, but not chil-
dren.
However, Sailors remain
subject to the guidelines dur-
ing the pendency of any waiv-
er request to DFAS.

Also, a Commanding Officer
has discretion to withhold
action for alleged failure to
support a child or children
under the following condi-
tions:
where the location and
welfare of the child or chil-
dren concerned cannot be
ascertained
and, where it is appar-
ent that the person requesting
support for a child does not
have physical custody of the
child or children.
Although commands gen-
erally do not get involved
until they receive a com-
plaint alleging non-support,
failure to provide adequate
and continuous support from
the on-set of a separation can
have costly consequences.
Commands may direct the
non-supporting Sailor to
make arrears payments for
back support where several
months of non-support have
elapsed between the separa-
tion and receipt of a com-
plaint.
As a final matter, dependent
spouses keep their "depen-


dent" status, even when phys-
ically separated from the mili-
tary member in anticipation
of divorce.
Therefore, Sailors shouldnot
withhold dependent military
ID cards from their dependent
spouses, even if they are sepa-


rated. Dependent spouses are
entitled to dependent military
IDs and all dependentbenefits
until such time as the Sailor
provides his or her Personnel
Support Detachment a copy
of the final divorce decree,
and the dependent spouse


is removed from the Page 2
Dependency Application/
Record of Emergency Data.
If you have any questions concerning
support obligations, visit a legal
assistance attorney. Contact (912) 573-

President Barack Obama
directed key defense and mili-
tary officials he met with Jan.
22 to come up with plans for
"a responsible military draw-

Obama declared the meet-

valuable. Participants in the
late-afternoon session during
his first day in office includ-

M. Gates; Navy Adm. Mike

ciated receiving assessments
from these experienced and
dedicated individuals," the
president said in a statement
released after the session.
"During the discussion, I
asked the military leadership
to engage in additional plan-
ning necessary to execute a
responsible military draw-
down from Iraq," he said.
Obama said he plans to meet
with the Joint Chiefs of Staff
to discuss operations in Iraq,
Afghanistan and the broader
Middle East.
"In the coming days and


weeks, I will also visit the
[Defense Department] to
consult with the Joint Chiefs
on these issues, and we will
undertake a full review of the
situation in Afghanistan in
order to develop a compre-
hensive policy for the entire
region," he said.
Among the military options
being considered by Obama
involves a plan to remove
most U.S. troops from Iraq
within 16 months, the Defense
Department's top civilian and
military officials said.
About 140,000 U.S. troops


are in Iraq today.
"We've certainly heard '16
months' for a long time; we've
looked at that option and the
risks that are associated with
that," Mullen said.
Gates and Mullen said the
Joint Chiefs would be consult-
ed during the evaluation of
options for U.S. troop draw-
downs from Iraq.
And, when the time comes
to have that full engagement
with the president with respect
to that ... I will advise him
accordingly, and he'll make a
decision," Mullen said.


Retired Army Gen. Eric K.
Shinseki took the oath of office
Jan. 21 as the Nation's seventh
Secretary of Veterans Affairs,
assuming the leadership of
the Department of Veterans
Affairs following confirmation
by the Senate.
"The overriding challenge I
am addressing from my first
day in office is to make the
Department of Veterans Affairs
a 21st century organization
focused on the nation's vet-
erans as its clients";' Shinseki
said.
Shinseki plans to develop a
2010 budget within his first 90
days that realizes the vision of
President Obama to transform
VA into an organization that is
people-centric, results-driven
and forward-looking.
Key issues on his agenda
include smooth activation of
an enhanced GI Bill educa-
tion benefit that eligible vet-
erans can begin using next
fall, streamlining the disabil-
ity claims system, leveraging
information technology to
accelerate and modernize ser-
vices and opening VA's health
care system to veterans previ-
ously unable to enroll in it,
while facilitating access for
returningIraq andAfghanistan


veterans.
Shinseki, a
former Army
Chief of
Staff, takes
the reins of
a 284,000-
employee
organization
delivering
health care Shinseki
and finan-
cial benefits to millions of vet-
erans and survivors under a
$98 billion budget authorized
this year through networks of
regional benefits offices and
health care facilities from
coast to coast.
Born in 1942 on the island of
Kauai, Hawaii, Shinseki grad-
uated from the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point, N.Y.,
in 1965. He served two com-
bat tours and was wounded in
action in Vietnam. He served
with distinction in Europe, the
Pacific and stateside, even-
tually becoming the Army's
senior leader from June 1999
to June 2003.
Retired from military ser-
vice in August 2003, Shinseki's
military decorations include
three Bronze Stars and two
Purple Hearts.
Shinseki succeeded Dr.
James B. Peake as Secretary of
Veterans Affairs.


Clinton seeks strong State, Defense partnership


By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service

The Senate voted over-
whelmingly to confirm Sen.
Hillary Clinton as secretary
of state and as a member of
President Barack Obama's
national security team, Jan.
21.
The Senate confirmed
Clinton's nomination by a 94-
to-2 vote.
Clinton has represented New
York since her election in 2000
and has served on the Senate
Armed Services Committee.


She supported military action
in Afghanistan, but opposed
recent actions in Iraq. In the
Senate, she sponsored legis-
lation to increase the size of
the Army and has consistently
worked to help military fami-
lies.
Clinton told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
at her confirmation hearing
she looks forward to working
with Defense Secretary Robert
M. Gates. She noted Gates'
distinguished record of service
to the country and belief in
a strong partnership between


the Defense and State depart-
ments.
As it works to take on more
responsibility in foreign
policy, she added, the State
Department will have to work
to disprove the presumption
that the military can move
more quickly and work more
effectively.
"I'm working with Secretary
Gates," the senator said. "He's
very open to cooperative
efforts. But we have to prove
that we can shoulder this
responsibility."
She cited the need to prove


the State Department can
handle stabilization, recon-
struction and other "out-
comes-oriented development
aid" quickly and without enor-
mous bureaucracy.
Clinton emphasized during

therefore have no legal status

"They're either going to be
moved and tried in American
courts or they're going to be
sent back to their countries
of origin," Biden said. "If they
are not a U.S. citizen or if they
are not here legally, then even
if they were released by a fed-
eral judge, they would not be
able to stay here in the United
States."'
Biden acknowledged that


[an

some countries have indicated
they do not want to repatri-
ate detainees. White House
Counsel Greg Craig is review-
ing detainees on a case-by-
case basis, he said, adding that
other countries have agreed to
allow prison facilities for hold-
ing enemy combatants cap-
tured on the battlefield.
"What I anticipate happen-
ing is that those people who
are in a situation where it is
either the evidence is in ques-
tion or it's going to be hard
to make a case, we will most


likely be rendering them back
to their countries of origin or
another country," he said.
The vice president said the
new Obama administration is
still determining what it has
inherited in the detention
facility.
"The one thing we do know
is that the maintenance of
Guantanamo, its symbol and
the consequences of this sym-
bolism around the world, it
has grown terrorist organiza-
tions, not diminished terrorist
organizations";' he said.


Military bears brunt of security


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

Top administration officials
are calling on other branches
of government to do their part
in the fight against terrorism
and extremism.
"For too longwe put the bulk
of the burden, in my view, on
our military," Vice President
Joe Biden said during a State
Department event Jan. 22.
"That's a view not only shared
by me, but byyour secretary of
defense, as well."'
Biden said the military is
"absolutely necessary, but


not sufficient; not sufficient
to secure the interests of this
great nation:'
Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton reiterated the vice
president's message when
she arrived at the State
Department.
"The work of the Obama-
Biden administration is com-
mitted to advancing America's
national security, further-
ing America's interests, and
respecting and exemplify-
ing America's values around
the world," she said in a short
speech to State Department
employees.


She said there are three legs
to the stool of American for-
eign policy: defense, diploma-
cy and development. The State
Department is responsible for
diplomacy and development.
"We will make clear as we go
forward that diplomacy and
development are essential
tools in achieving the long-
term objectives of the United
States," she said. "I will do all
that I can, working with you, to
make it abundantly clear that
robust diplomacy and effec-
tive development are the best
long-term tools for securing
America's future."


Anything But Dependent


From Page 2

to top it off, no one tells you
the worry that you will have
when thinking about your
husband's job defending our
country. No one tells you that
you will cry.
If we had this speech, a few
wives would run for the exit
and never look back, and the
rest of us would at least have
been warned. But we didn't.
No one told us the worst case
scenario. We come into this
sight unseen. And there is a
moment that we all have had
or will face. It is the moment
where we decide for ourselves
that we are going to be OK.
This moment hit me about
our third patrol, on our first
boat. I decided to make
things better. I knew that I
loved my husband and sup-
ported his decision to serve.
I accepted that fact that this
life was going to be hard.
That it wasn't always going
to be Navy Birthday Balls and
Homecomings. I knew that
there were going to be times
where I wanted to run, times
where I wanted to cry and
times where I doubted myself
and my own ability. I knew it
was going to just suck some-
times, but it would be how I
handled it that would make it
better.
My advice to the new wife is
to get on your own schedule.
You will realize that you live
your life differently without
your husband, and that is OK!
Some wives find this scary
because then their husband
comes home and it can be
awkward adjusting to each
other again. It is completely
normal. Looking back, I laugh
and see how I have grown.
And how the things I thought
were so hard in the beginning
are not even big deals now.
You and your husband will
grow. The first four years in
the Navy for us were hard, but
now we are enjoying it and
the deployments are not "fun"
ooo


but they are a part of our life.
The second thing is to find
comfort from other women
going through the same expe-
rience. No one knows how
you are feeling better than the
women going through it with
you.
Family is great, but friends
are family that you choose.
Go to the Family Readiness
Group and see what it is
about. Not every FRG is great,
but at the same time, not
every FRG is bad.
You might meet your new
best friend at one of these
meetings. I did. If you go and
it isn't what you want it to be,
you can get involved in your
community. You can volun-
teer, or join a church or moms
group. I know that many of us
work outside the home and
sometimes it is hard to stay
connected, but you have to be
proactive.
You won't find many groups
and organizations coming
door to door in the evening
giving you a private invitation.
It's going to be tough, but it
really is what you make of it.
If you want to cry every
night ... you will. If you want
to go on with your own life
and accept that your hus-
band will come in and out of
it, then you will get stronger
and it does become easier!
I promise. It will also make
your husband's patrol easier
for him knowing that you are
OK.
It is how we handle those
hard times that make all the
difference in the world. You
have to make the decision to
be happy and stop crying.
This is a personal decision.
No one can make it for you.
Life is what you make of it, no
matter what life you are given.
Others can cheer you up for
a moment, but only you can
decide if you are going to
make it. And that is how you
stop crying.

Detention center to close


By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service

President Barack Obama
called for the closing of the
U.S. detention center at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with-
in one year.
In a series of executive
orders concerning the treat-
ment of detainees in American
custody, Obama also ordered
the creation of a group tasked
with detainee disposition, gov-
ernmentwide use of the Army
field manual's interrogation
rules and the delay of a high-
profile hearing.
"The message that we are
sending around the world is
that the United States intends
to prosecute the ongoing
struggle against violence and
terrorism," the president said
at the signing ceremony here.
"And we are going to do so vig-
ilantly, we are going to do so
effectively, and we are going
to do so in a manner that is
consistent with our values and
our ideals."
The directive came Jan. 22,
two days after Obama asked
Pentagon officials to pause


legal proceedings involving
alleged terrorists being held
and tried at Guantanamo.
A thorny legal question sur-
rounding the closure of the
detention center is the fate of
some of the roughly 250 peo-
ple currently held there.
Obama ordered the forma-
tion of an interagency task
force responsible for provid-
ing recommendations on
handling such detainees. The
group will comprise Secretary
of Defense Robert M. Gates;
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff; Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton; the directors
of national intelligence and
the CIA; and the secretary of
Homeland Security and other
officials.
"They are going to provide
me with information in terms
of how we are able to deal
in the disposition of some of
the detainees that may be cur-
rently in Guantanamo that we
cannot transfer to other coun-
tries, who could pose a serious
danger to the United States,
but we cannot try because of
various problems related to


evidence in a [federal] court,"
Obama said.
Another directive Obama
endorsed today calls for all U.S.
interrogations to abide by rules
articulated in the Army Field
Manual 2-22.3. The manual,
released in September 2006,
lays out specific guidelines for
military members involved in
detention and interrogation,
and Obama's order extends
the mandate to all U.S. govern-
ment personnel.
"We believe that the Army
Field Manual reflects the best
judgment of our military; that
we can abide by a rule that
says we don't torture, but that
we can still effectively obtain
the intelligence that we need,"
the president said. "[It's] an
understanding that dates back
to our founding fathers, that
we are willing to observe core
standards of conduct not just
when it's easy, but also when
it's hard."
Obama also called for a delay
in the Supreme Court hearing
of Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, a
legal U.S. resident detained in
Peoria, Ill., in 2001, after then-
President George W. Bush

deemed him an enemy com-
batant. A Defense Department
news release at the time said
Marri received this designation
"due to recent credible informa-
tion provided by other detain-
ees in the war on terrorism."
Marri's case has generated


attention from news outlets
questioning the legality of the
enemy combatant designation
applied to him.
"He is clearly a dangerous
individual;'," Obama said of
Marri. "His case is currently
before the Supreme Court,


[and] we have asked for a delay
in going before the Supreme
Court and dealing with this
case so that we can properly
review the evidence against
him and the various policies
that have been presented up
until this time."


Gates cites positive response to closing of Gitmo facility


By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service

President Barack Obama's
decisionto close the U.S. deten-
tion center at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, has made a positive
impression in the world com-
munity, and that will assist
America in its fight against
global terrorism, the Defense
Department's top official said
last week.
Closing Guantanamo "cre-
ates additional opportunities
for us in terms of partnering
with other countries and other
countries' eagerness to work
with us in dealing with violent
extremists," Defense Secretary
Robert M. Gates said during a
Pentagon news conference.
Some countries appar-
ently are mulling taking in
detainees, Gates said, as part
of the process of shuttering
Guantanamo.


Such a development, Gates
said, indicates that news of
Guantanamo's impending
closure "is being positively
received" across the world.
"As I said, I think that creates
opportunities for us," Gates
said.
Obama directed Gates on
Jan. 20 to cease referring any
new cases through the mili-
tary-commissions process
at Guantanamo Bay and to
request 120-day continuances
on all ongoing active cases
there.
Management of housing
and legal proceedings involv-
ing Guantanamo's detainee
population has been under
the purview of the Defense
Department since the deten-
tion center was opened shortly
after the Sept. 11, 2001, ter-
rorist attacks on the United
States.
Gates has recommend-


ed shutting down the
Guantanamo detention cen-
ter since he was appointed
defense secretary more than
two years ago.
"Clearly the challenge that
faces us, and that I've acknowl-
edged before, is figuring out
how do we close Guantanamo
and at the same time safeguard
the security of the American
people," Gates said. "And that's
the challenge we will continue
to face.
"I believe that there are
answers to those questions,"
the secretary continued, "but
we clearly have a lot of work
to do and the executive order
spells out, I think, the work that
has to be done to get there."
Gates said he was among
the least-qualified people to
offer an opinion as to how
detainees should or would be
handled in the legal system
after leaving Guantanamo.


"I think those recommen-
dations will be made by the
[U.S.] Justice Department,
perhaps with the input of the
White House Counsel for the
President," Gates said.
Another executive order
that was signed by Obama
directs the U.S. military and
other U.S. agencies to follow
the Army Field Manual, which
bans torture when interrogat-
ing detainees "to promote the
safe, lawful and humane treat-
ment of individuals in United
States custody," Obama said.
"I think you have to weigh
the costs of the more severe
interrogation measures with,
as the president talked about
in his inaugural address, our
values and the impact on our
values;'," said Gates, who has
also served as director of the
CIA.
Gates added, "We know a
lot more about al-Qaida now


than we did during the early
years" of the war against ter-
rorism. Consequently, the
requirement "for measures
that go outside the Army Field
Manual is dramatically less
than it was several years ago,"'
he said.
"So, based on my expe-
rience in both arenas, I am
very comfortable with where
the executive order places us,"
Gates said.


The detention center at
Naval Station Guantanamo
Bay has housed nearly 800
suspected terrorists captured
in Afghanistan, Iraq and other
places since the start of global
war on terrorism that followed
the 9/11 attacks.
About 250 people are being
held at Guantanamo today,
including Khalid Sheikh
Mohammad, the alleged mas-
termind of the 9/11 attacks.

Vow renewals set for NAS


From NAS Jacksonville Chapel
Center
For many military families,
the balance between family
and duty can become unbal-
anced. The demands of train-
ing evolutions, deployment
work-ups, areas of responsibil-
ity, physical training and even
continuing education can take
servicemembers away from
the ones they love so much.
As St. Valentines Day


approaches, servicemembers
can make this Valentine's Day
truly memorable for them-
selves and their spouses by
renewing their marriage vows.
For the last decade, Naval Air
Station Jacksonville's Chapel
Center has held vow renewals
touching the lives of hundreds
of people, whether active duty,
retirees or civilians.
Last year, 85 couples gath-
ered in the Historic All Saint's


Chapel to renew their vows
followed by an evening of din-
ing and dancing.
This year's annual cer-
emony will take place at All
Saint's Chapel at 5 p.m., on
Valentine's Day, Feb. 14. After
the ceremony, couples can
enjoy a meal at the River Cove
Officer's Club with music and
dancing.

THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, January 29, 2009 11


W h i e Look for our roving reporter, MC 1 (SW) Joe Sabo,

W ho is going to w in the Super Bow l? about our question of the week.


T th the National Football League season coming to a
Close, it's almost time for the biggest football game of
V the year. So, the question of the week is, who is going to
win the Super Bowl, the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers or the under-
dog Arizona Cardinals?
Before I give my pick, let's talk about the two teams. The


Cardinals won the National Football Conference West with an
8-8 record.
They had the worst winning percentage of all the teams who
were playing in the playoffs. But they've had a very strong run
in the playoffs beating all teams with their strong defense. They
feature one of the strongest wide receiver corps in the league.


The Steelers play black-'n-blue defense and out-hit the oppo-
sition with blitzes. They also have a physical line on both sides
of the ball.
The Cardinals haven't won a playoff game in 61 years until
this year. So, I am pulling for the underdog Cardinals because, I
want to see a miracle happen.


EMI (SW) Tyrone Welch
Trident Refit Facility
Guyana
"I think the Steelers are
going to win because they
have the best defense in the
league and I don't think the
Cardinals can keep up and
take the grueling defense
for four quarters."


Pfc. Evan Archer
Security Force Btn.
Boston, Mass.
"The Steelers are one
of my favorite teams,
always have been since
I was a kid. They are
going to dominate the
Cardinals. I just don't
think the Cardinals
have the strength up
front to handle the
Steelers' pass rush."


Lance Cpl. Tim Shive
Security Force Btn.
Baltimore Md.
I am pulling for
the underdog. I think it
would be pretty cool to
see them win. They have
been so mediocre for so
long. I think it would be
good for the league if the
underdog won the Super
Bowl."


MASN Jacob Brooks
Security Force Btn.
Wake Forest, N.C.
"I think the Steelers are
going to win. They are
a solid team historically
and have been in the big
game before. I just think
the stage is too big for the
Cardinals, and the con-
sistent Steelers will find a
way to win."


CS1 (SS) Justin Smith
Pirates Cove Galley
Sequin, Texas
"I like the Steelers to
win the game. I think their
defense is as advertised. I
think their defense is going
to take the quarterback of
Arizona out of the game.
They get to the quarter-
back a lot, and you can't
throw from your back."


Selective re-enlistment bonus changes announced


By Sharon Anderson
Chief of Naval Personnel
Public Affairs

Sailors will have the opportunity to
re-enlist with a Selective Re-enlist-
ment Bonus up to 90 days before the
expiration of their active obligated
service under new policy set forth in
NAVADMIN 006/09 released Jan. 9.
Sailors may have less than 90 days to
re-enlist for the bonus to keep the SRB
re-enlistment in the same fiscal year.
"Under old policy, a Sailor could
re-enlist anytime in the same fiscal
year as their EAOS," said Jeri Busch,
head, military pay and compensation
policy branch for the chief of naval per-


sonnel. Sailors need to carefully read
NAVADMIN 006/09 to understand the
many rule changes and exceptions and
how this policy will affect any possible
SRB awarded for re-enlisting.
"By reducing the time frame for SRB
re-enlistment the Navy can better proj-
ect and manage end strength while
continuing to provide incentive to
Sailors with critical skills and valuable
experience to stay Navy," Busch said.
The policy change is part of an over-
all effort to stabilize the force at about
329,000 active duty Sailors by the end
of this fiscal year.
SRBis atargetedmarket-basedincen-
tive which allows enlisted community
managers to strategically adjust award


levels as retention needs dictate.
Any Sailor whose request to re-enlist
has been received by PERS-8 before
the release of NAVADMIN 006/09 will
have their re-enlistment processed
under the old policy. Re-enlistment
requests received by PERS-8 after the
NAVADMIN's release will fall under
the new policy.
Selected NECs will be allowed to
re-enlist anytime in the fiscal year and
are listed in the NAVADMIN. Future
changes to the list will be released via
NAVADMIN.
Some other requirements under the
new policy include:
All SRB re-enlistment requests
must to be submitted 35-120 days prior
to the requested re-enlistment date.


SRB requests submitted less than
35 days in advance of the requested
date of reenlistment maybe rejected.
Sailors who are eligible for com-
bat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) and
have an EAOS that falls in the most
current fiscal year are authorized to
reenlist anytime within the fiscal year.
These Sailors along with command
career counselors must annotate in the
remarks section of the pre-certifica-
tion request whether they are currently
CZTE eligible.
All Sailors are encouraged to read

"I think the Cardinals
over the past three weeks
have played better than the
Steelers have. The Steelers'
defense dominated sub-
par offenses, but against
teams with a strong offense
they have given up points.
The Cardinals put up 32
points on the No. 3 defense
last week. And, their wide
receivers looked good
against a strong defensive
backfield. I am going with
the Cardinals."

THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, January 29, 2009 15


Surgeons volunteer for 'Scars are not forever' program


By Staff Sgt. Ethan E.
Rocke
Headquarters Marine Corps


It was an ideal. A mantra.
One of those romantic asser-
tions that grabs hold the heart
and muses in the soul the
question: What if?
"Scars are not forever" was
conceived for one Marine in
the months of rehabilitation
that followed an IED blast
in Iraq, which left him badly
burned and disfigured. Since
then, the spirit of that ideal
has evolved into an innova-
tive partnership between
military and civilian medicine
that is actualizing, for some,
that once rhetorical question:
What if?
Aaron Mankin lay still on an
operating table, bright halo-
gen bulbs spilling light over
every bit of his fire-scarred
face: closed eyes placid with
unconsciousness, relaxed jaw
peeking out from the fissure
between rich, disfigured lip
tissue, an incision on the right
side of his nose stretching the
length of it.
The ordered bustle of the
operating room lay outside, far
above the anesthesia. There,
Dr. Timothy Miller, chief
of reconstructive and plas-
tic surgery at the University
of California, Los Angeles
Medical Center, looks down at
Mankin's face and focuses.
Coolly marking Mankin's
face with a pen earlier, Miller
had described the goals of the
procedure, Mankin acknowl-
edging with a characteristic
smile and nod a gesture
of enduring trust in the man
whose scalpel has been to
Mankin's face what da Vinci's
brush was to his Mona Lisa.
"I take your pictures home
with me, ya' know?" Miller
said during the examination,
referring to the dozens of pho-
tos he uses to track and plot
the evolution of Mankin's face
before and after operating on
it a dozen times.
Mankin reached to his throat
to close the airway of his tra-
cheostomy and push the air
from his lungs up through his
damaged vocal chords.
"Oh yeah?" he said, his soft,
raspy voice contrasting smil-
ing, wide eyes.
"Oh yeah," Miller said, look-
ing to Mankin's mother, Diana
Phelps, and nodding with a
smile. "I do, really."
This is Mankin's 12th sur-
gery under Miller's hands
- "magic hands;'," say some
of his coworkers and patients.
The lofty, soothing melody of
Frank Sinatra's Fly Me to the
Moon wafts in the operating
room as Miller makes a pre-
cise and gentle sawing motion
with his tiny scalpel, a handful
of doctors and nurses looking
on. He trims away unnecessary
flesh from beneath Mankin's
nose the nose he built with
cranial bone and skin from
Mankin's forehead.
That was the first step.
Now Miller needs to thin it
out, make it better resemble
Mankin's old nose, the one
he had before an explosion
in Iraq left him badly burned
about his arms and face the
nose from the pictures of the
handsome, slender Arkansas
boy with that coy twinkle of
charisma. Miller takes to the
task with the enthusiasm of an
inspired artist.
"(These service members)
have given a tremendous
amount of their lives to me
and my family," Miller said. "If
I can give something back to
them, it's very gratifying."
The thin, boyish features
Mankin inherited were sup-
planted May 11, 2005. Then
Lance Cpl. Mankin was a
Marine combat correspondent
assigned to cover Operation
Matador, a roughly weeklong
mission to root out insurgents
near the Syrian border north
of the Euphrates River. Mankin
was riding in an amphibious
assault vehicle when a mas-
sive explosion from a road-
side bomb rocked the 26-ton
vehicle.
The violent blast threw
Mankin down inside the vehi-
cle. When the instant haze of
chaos and concussion cleared,
Mankin opened his eyes. He
was on fire.
"The instinctive reaction
at that point is to just gasp,"
recalls the 26-year-old father
of two. "That's how I sustained


most of my trachea injuries.
I saw light at the back of the
vehicle and just dove toward
this dry, crusted earth. I rolled
trying to get the fire out but
couldn't do it. I was exhaust-
ed, and I just closed my eyes
and was ready to die. That's
when I heard the shouts of my
fellow Marines saying 'Put him
out! Put him out!' "


Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt. Ethan E. Rocke
Dr. Timothy Miller, chief of reconstructive and plastic surgery at the University of California Los
Angeles Medical Center, operates on Aaron Mankin's nose Nov. 18 at the center.


The incident left Mankin
with 25 percent of his body
burned. His genetic predispo-
sition to generate unusually
high amounts of scar tissue
caused his facial features to
gradually contort, eventually
twisting and fusing his nose
and mouth area so much that
his mouth shrank to a tiny,
taut opening about an inch
below an asymmetrical half-
nose that, without its natural
tip, displayed irregularly large
nostrils and an upturned look.
"Initially, Aaron's face looked
normal," said his mother.
"There were no visible wounds.
And then it began to draw in
and tighten up. I had to use a
small funnel to feed him."
Phelps helped care for her
son for the first eight months
he was a patient at Brooke
Army Medical Center at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, where all
of the U.S. military's burn vic-
tims go for treatment. "BAM-
C," to which it is often affec-
tionately referred, is one of
the nation's premiere trauma
centers for burn victims, both
military and civilian.
The hospital has cared for
more than 4,043 service mem-
bers wounded in the War on
Terror, and the Army Burn
Center there has treated 731
of those, according to hospital
officials.
Mankin underwent about 40
surgeries at BAMC, including
myriad skin grafts and an oper-
ation to open his mouth back
up so he could eat normally.
But, according to Phelps, the
limits of the medical center's
capabilities became apparent
when the care required became
a matter of aesthetics rather
than physical rehabilitation.
"The doctors at Brooke are
fantastic, but their focus is on
function, not aesthetics;' she
said.
President Bush has expand-
ed the Defense Department's
healthcare funding by more
than 200 percent since 2001,
and the military has made
many advances in military
medicine and healthcare
infrastructure since the War on
Terror began. But until recent-
ly, the military could not pro-
vide extensive reconstructive
surgeries to its members.
General James F. Amos,
assistant commandant of the
Marine Corps, is among senior
leadership at the Pentagon
that has been at the forefront
of the military's recent efforts
to address the shortfall.
"We've made great gains in
recent years in expanding our
continuity of care for wound-
ed warriors, but change comes
slow," Amos said.
But in October 2007, the
military's slow, steady trend in
healthcare advancement got
sent into overdrive in the field
of reconstructive surgery. The
catalyst was an injection into
the system from outside the
government.
The prospect was revolu-
tionary: One of the nation's top
hospitals offering up the ser-
vices of its world-class, plastic
reconstructive surgeons no
charge. It was exactly what
the military needed to quickly
bridge the gap between func-
tion and aesthetics for its dis-
figured warriors.
The man carrying the torch
to the military was philanthro-
pist Ronald A. Katz, a success-
ful inventor and UCLA Medical
Center board member.
"The concept was simple,"'
Katz said "Why couldn't we
provide to these wounded
service members not only the
best medical care the military
had to offer but the best the
country could offer?"
Military leadership at BAMC
and the Pentagon agreed,


and a partnership was forged
between the military and UCLA
Medical Center, which U.S.
News & World Report ranks as
one of the top three hospitals
in the nation and the top hos-
pital in the western U.S. The
partnership has since become
known as Operation Mend.
In October 2007, Mankin
became Operation Mend's first
patient. He was also, in large
part, the inspiration for the
program, according to Katz.
Katz and his wife, Madelyn,
became involved with BAMC
in 2006 when fundraiser
and avid proponent of mili-
tary and veterans' causes Bill
White invited the Katzes to
San Antonio. Katz donated
the lead gift at that time to a
privately-funded project that
brought to Fort Sam Houston
in January 2007 two new Fisher
Houses, which house families
of wounded service members
receiving treatment at BAMC.
"My wife and I visited the
burn ward at Brooke, and we
were particularly distressed by
the number of facially disfig-
ured service members," Katz
said.
A pivotal moment in Oper-
ation Mend's conception
occurred when Katz and his
wife watched Mankin, whose
charismatic personality and
affinity for public speaking has
attracted media attention and
thrust Mankin into the lime-
light, on CNN in an interview
with Lou Dobbs in November
2006.
"Lou asked Aaron, 'What's
next for you?' Katz said. "And
Aaron said, 'They've gotta' fix
the beautiful part ... get me
back to good looking.' That
really struck us."
Katz said Mankin's image
and words that day were the
beginning, but a final call to
action came when the Katzes
attended in January 2007
the opening ceremony for
the Center for the Intrepid, a
state-of-the-art physical reha-
bilitation center for amputees
and burn victims adjacent to
BAMC, and the new Fisher
Houses, which Katz's dona-
tions helped build. There were
many disfigured service mem-
bers at the ceremony.
"Seeing Aaron planted the
seed, but seeing how many
Aarons there are was the key,"
Katz said. "At that point, we
decided we should connect
military commanders and my
connections at UCLA."
Katz said it took about
six months to marry up the
bureaucracies of BAMC and
UCLA, and as the details of
the partnership were worked
out, Katz's resolve and passion
for the program became infec-
tious within UCLA's medical
community.
"Once the program was
announced, the byproduct
was a wellspring of enthusi-
asm from people within the
hospital to do something
extraordinary for these service
members," he said. "The pro-
gram is really two parts: medi-
cal care and personal care."
Katz donated the first $1
million to fund Operation
Mend and helped raise more
than $10 million more. The
private funds cover the costs
of the surgeries as well as trav-
el expenses for patients and
their families, lodging, a living
allowance and any extra med-
ical expenses. The military's

Tricare, covers the cost of hos-
pitalization for patients.
Volunteers within UCLA's
medical community also pro-
vide patients with what Katz
calls "buddy families." Katz's
son Todd, his wife, Dana, and
their children are the pre-
mier buddy family, provid-


ing friendship and support to
Mankin, his wife Diana and
their children during Mankin's
12 trips to UCLA. Dana also
oversees and coordinates the
buddy family program.
"Everyone is compelled by
the cause," Dana said. "The
CEO of UCLA Medical Center,
called us and said, 'Can we
be a buddy family?' When
the CEO wants to be a buddy
family, that's not your typical
bureaucracy."
UCLA nurse Priscilla "Patti"
Taylor, a retired Army nurse,
also leads a community group


of military veterans who sew
"quilts of valor" for incoming
patients.
Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen.
Peter W. Chiarelli and Gen.
Amos, the Corps' second in
command, have both visited
Katz and other UCLA officials
in recent months to talk about
expanding Operation Mend.
"Programs like Operation
Mend have shown us that
sometimes the private sector
can inject a capability into the
system that we don't have,"
Amos said.
Katz says it is his hope that
Operation Mend will expand
beyond plastic reconstructive
surgery.
"Fortunately, UCLA has
extraordinary talents in many
areas;' he said. "Our hope is
that we will involve ourselves
with other DoD hospitals that
care for patients other than
burn victims. If they need cer-
tain expertise that we can pro-
vide, we think UCLA has a lot
to offer.":'
In the meantime, Katz said
Operation Mend currently has
the funding and resources to
continue providing recon-
structive surgeries to any ser-
vice members who need them,
and he hopes to see other hos-
pitals follow UCLA's lead.
"We're not the only place in
the world that has extraordi-
nary capabilities and talents,"
he said. "I think in the next
year or so, there is a possibility
that this could expand to other
medical centers of excellence,
and if they need guidance, we
can transport that to them."
Amos said if other hospitals
in the private sector are willing


to further expand the care the
military can provide, "We are
more than ready to embrace
that willingness and build a
partnership.
Operation Mend has provid-
ed 43 surgeries to seven soldiers
and Marines since October
2007, and 10 more patients are
currently scheduled to under-
go surgery in 2009, according
to UCLA officials.
Mankin and his mother
tried to express what those
numbers mean to the people
whose lives they affect.
"Early on in my recovery I
adopted the notion that 'scars
are not forever' as a mind-
set," Mankin said. "It was an
articulation of my acceptance
that this is the way I'm going
to look for the rest of my life,
and, with that, I'm not going
to let my physical appearance
keep me from being who I am
and reaching the goals I set for
myself.
"That mindset evolved when
individuals from the other side
of the nation opened up their
hearts and their homes and
said to me, 'This is a realitywe
can give to you.' And for them
to seek me out and ask, 'Can
we do this for you?' is an over-
whelming blessing and I think
speaks to the true spirit of the
American people."
Choking up, Phelps echoed
her son's sentiment, "There's
not a deep enough place inside
me that could explain the grat-
itude for what they've given
and what they've done and
what they're doing, not just
for Aaron, but for everyone.
There's not a deep enough
place."
