Vice Adm. Michael C. Vitale relieved
ViceAdm. Bob Conway, Jr., as Commander,
Navy Installations Command Jan. 30 dur-
ing a ceremony at the Washington Navy
Yard, Washington, D.C.
The guest speaker for the change of
command was Chief of Naval Operations
Adm. Gary Roughead. Roughead spoke
of what Conway and CNIC meant to the
Navy.
"They were the integrator for all things
related to our fleet;'," Roughead said.
"While the fleet is in port and our sailors
are ashore, Bob knew what to, how to do
it, how to explain it, and how to get the
most out of every dollar."
"I do consider myself blessed, to be
afforded both the opportunity and the
challenge to once again command, the
opportunity to work alongside many tal-
ented professionals both military and
civilian throughout the world, the chal-
lenge to change the shore establishment
into an adaptive enterprise support-
ing the maritime strategy, the fleet, our
Sailors and their families, and I enjoyed
every minute of it," Conway said of his
time at CNIC.
Conwaywas awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal during the ceremony.
Vitale said he looked forward to the
challenges of taking over CNIC.
"Today, as I proudly take the helm of
CNIC, I can tell you several things about
the way we will do business," he said. "We
will always do our best, and we will do it
with class and style. We will always do the
right thing no matter how hard it is, no
matter how long it takes or no matter how
much it costs. We will treat everyone with
dignity and respect. We will always look
for a better way, always trying to improve.
Lastly, we will remember to enjoy our-
selves while we are meeting those chal-
lenges because we belong to the worlds
greatest Navy."
CNIC is an Echelon II command respon-
sible for the providing base and operating
services to the Navy's 13 Regions and 73
Installations.
CNIC oversees a $9-billion budget,
more than 52,000 facilities and more than
53,000 personnel, managed from a single
enterprise.
Conway will retire after more than 35
years of distinguished service.

There is no greater remind-
er of America's strength and
endurance than the "Old
Ironsides": Across the Nation
event, that played this past
weekend at the Museum of
Science and History in down-
town Jacksonville.
The event, which is a
collaboration of the USS
Constitution Museum and
USS Constitution's current
crew, educates people across
the country of the fight for
American freedom and cre-
ates awareness of the impor-
tance of the USS Constitution
in American history.
Events began Jan. 29 as Burt
Logan, the president of the USS
Constitution Museum, gave a
detailed history of the ship. It
was built, along with several
sister ships, in 1794, which,
coincidentally, was the year
the U.S. Navy was founded.
Secretary of War Henry Knox
wanted the ship to be equal or
superior to foreign ships. As
a result, the USS Constitution
was built with cutting-edge
technology at the time.
Paul Revere, who became an
entrepreneur in Boston after
his midnight ride, provided
the copper for the covered bell,
bolts and pieces used on the
hull. Live oak, a major compo-
nent of the ship, is indigenous
to Florida and Georgia.
It took the USS Constitution
three tries to set sail. Deemed
unlucky at first, the ship later
proved to be a hero. It fought
in the War of 1812. After can-
nonballs bounced off its sides
in battle, the ship earned the
nickname "Old Ironsides."
The USS Constitution now
rests in Boston Harbor. To
learn more about its travels,
battles and Sailors visit www.
ussconstitutionmuseum.org.
Also speaking Thursday
night was Cmdr. William
Bullard, the 70th and current
commanding officer of the
USS Constitution. He spoke of
the importance of promoting,
preserving and restoring the
historic ship.
The "Old Ironsides" Across
America trip to Jacksonville
brought little pieces of the
museum and ship to MOSH.

cating with signal flags and
the uniforms of the early USS
Constitution sailors captured
the interest of young and old
alike. Youngsters were in awe
of a re-enactment of gun drills,
followed by pike drills by the
crewmembers.
"Old Ironsides," which
Bullard called the anchor in
the chain of Naval history,
contributes in part to educat-
ing the public about the his-
tory of the Navy and America.
To help preserve this history,
the crew is conducting mas-
sive restorations to return the
ship to its original 1812 shape.
Once complete, cannons will
be capable of firing.

Trident command to split
By Gordon Jackson
Courtesy of
The Times-Union
Submarine Group Trident
was created in January 2006
to place the fleets of nuclear
ballistic missile submarines
on the east and west coasts
under a single command.
The Navy is now reversing
that decision based on a
Department of Defense task
force recommendation.
Submarine Group 10 at
Kings Bay Naval Submarine
Base and Submarine Group
9 at Bangor Naval Submarine
Base will have separate com-
manding officers in coming
months.
The Navy also will assign
separate commodores for
Submarine Squadrons 16
and 20 at Kings Bay and add
more training staff at Trident
Training Facility.
Once the Atlantic and
Pacific commands are sepa-
rated this year, a rear admiral
will be assigned full time to
Kings Bay for the first time
since the two commands
were merged three years
ago. The commander is now
in Bangor Washington.
Navy officials said the rec-
ommendations were not the
result of any problems but
were intended to improve
efficiency at both bases.
It was in the interest of effi-
ciency, however, that the two
groups were placed under
a single commander in the
first place. The rationale
then was Trident subma-
rines share the same mission
as a key part of the nation's
strategic deterrence against
nuclear attack regardless of
where they are ported.
The Navy believed only
one commander was needed
to coordinate activities for
submarines on both coasts.
There was also a cost sav-
ings because only one staff
was needed to oversee both
commands.
Former national Navy
League President Sheila
McNeill said the 3,000-mile
distance between Bangor
and Kings Bay made the
job of overseeing both fleets
"almost impossible."'
"You couldn't be in two
places at one time;'," she said.
"It was too much to ask one
person to do."
McNeill said she agreed
with the proposal to assign
separate commodores for
Squadrons 16 and 20 because
the boats assigned to the two
commands have much dif-
ferent missions.
Trident submarines
assigned to Squadron 20
carry ballistic nuclear mis-
siles as a deterrent to nuclear
attack.
Submarines assigned to
Squadron 16 are converted
Trident submarines that
have been stripped of their
arsenal of nuclear missiles.
The two converted sub-
marines at Kings Bay, USS
Georgia and Florida, carry
Tomahawk cruise missiles
and conduct clandestine
missions along coastal areas
anywhere a terrorism threat
exists.
The two commodores will
be assigned in March and
the staff should be fully in
place by summer, said Lt.
Rebecca Rebarich, public
affairs officer for Submarine
Group 10.

USS West Virginia Sailor
rewarded for decisive action
By MC1 Kimberly Clifford, Commander
Submarine Group Ten Public Affairs
A USS West Virginia (SSBN 736) (Gold)
Sailor was awarded the Navy Marine Corps
Achievement Medal Jan. 26 for preventing fel-
low Sailors from drinking and driving.
Capt. Daniel Mack, Submarine Squadron
16/20 commodore, presented MMFR (SU)
Corey Ferrell the NAM for demonstrating out-
standing courage in preventing four Sailors
from another command from drinking and
driving while he served as a designated driver
for a West Virginia command function.
"I was not expecting what happened. I
thought that I was just going to get a pat on the
back," said Ferrell, a Fort Worth, Texas native.
Ferrell had volunteered to act as a designated
driver for friends during a command holiday
party in December, 2008.
As he got ready to leave he noticed four
intoxicated strangers discussing who was in the
best condition to drive. Ferrell did not hesitate
to intervene.
He approached the men and asked if they
needed a ride.
As he spoke to them, Ferrell learned these
men where senior Sailors from another com-
mand. Even though he was out-ranked, Ferrell
stood firm and prevented the four Sailors from
driving.
"I didn't want them on the road. I didn't want
myself, them or anyone else to get hurt," Ferrell
said.
"His honorable conduct saved these Sailors
at a minimum from a poor career choice, and
potentially saved several lives including those
of his shipmates," said Capt. Stephen Gillespie,
commanding officer USS West Virginia (SSBN
736) (Gold). "This is exactly the type of mature,
day-to-day decision-making we are working to
achieve at all levels on West Virginia and force-
wide to reduce the impact of drinking and driv-
ing in our Navy."
Gillespie also recognized MM2 (SS) Bradley
Patterson, the Sailor that recruited Ferrell to be
his designated driver for the command party.
"Petty Officer Patterson filled out a counsel-
ing chit for Fireman Recruit Ferrell doing the
right thing and identified this deed up the chain
of command," Gillespie said. "Without Petty
Officer Patterson making us aware of his efforts,
we would not have known of Fireman Recruit
Ferrell actions."
Chief of the Boat, MMSC (SS) Julian
Czeiszperger commended Ferrell.
"Actions like this from junior personnel are
encouraging for supervisors and deck plate
leaders because nowyou know the message that
we are sending is being received," Czeiszperger
said. "Drinking and driving at any level is not
tolerated. Have a plan and stick with it. If your
plan falls though, then call your immediate
chain of command for a resolution."
Summing up Ferrell's performance, Mack
said, "Whether you are an E-7, 0-6 or 0-1, you
can take the actions that he did to save a ship-
mate."

LOCAL NEWS & VIEWS
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
All officers are now required to have a full-length
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.

Every Valentine's
February is the month of
romance. A quick look at the
history of Valentine's Day and
St. Valentine reveals a mili-
tary connection. Spouses, get
ready ... !
The history of Valentine's
Day is rooted in both Christian
and pagan traditions and has
multiple legends surround-
ing this holiday. One legend
details Valentine's Day's mili-
tary roots. Roman emperor,
Claudius II decided that single
men made better soldiers than
those with wives and families.
As a result, he outlawed mar-
riage for young men, his target
segment of potential soldiers.
(Have we not all heard the
old adage, "If the Navy/Army
wanted a sailor/soldier to have
a wife, it would have been
issued with their sea/duffle
bag.?") Valentine, convinced
of the injustice of the decree,
defied Claudius and per-
formed secret marriages for
the young. When Valentine's
actions were discovered, he
was put to death by order of
the emperor.
There are other legends sur-
rounding Valentine's Day but
all have romance and marriage
at the heart (no pun intended)
of them. Personally, I think
Valentine's Day is a conspira-
cy by the card, candy, jewelry
and florists.
When I was single, I hated
Valentine's Day. All the gifts
bestowed upon my friends
just fueled my disdain for the
holiday. Now that I am mar-
ried, well, isn't it amazing how
marriage (and life) can change
our perspective? What I regret
from my single days is that
I apprehend that Valentine's
Day isn't just romance, but a
celebration of love the love
of family, friends, children, my
dog and now my husband.
And that brings me to cel-
ebrating Valentine's Day
when our service member
is deployed or on duty on
Day is a special one
that day of romance. My first
Valentine's Day as a military
spouse was spent apart. Scott
was on a work-up and, would
you believe, would be back
two days after Valentine's Day.
Way to ruin my first Valentine's
Day!
I found subject matter
experts (translation: seasoned
spouses and service mem-
bers) for advice on celebrating
our love even though apart.
Jodie Arden, Navy spouse,
deployment specialist at
FFSC, Oceana, Va., and vet-
eran of many holidays apart
said, "Keep your traditions. If
you go out to dinner and a
movie, take a friend and do
the same thing." Patty LeClair,
CNRSW ombudsman said,
"Remember, every holiday can
be recreated. The 'day' isn't as
important as the 'celebration'
of that holiday."'
Shannon Milder, former
active duty and site manager for
FFSC, Murphy Canyon, Calif.,
relayed her best Valentine's
Day advice. "I was single, but
seeing someone. This gentle-
man crafted a wonderful let-
ter of what he planned for us
for Valentine's Day when I got
back from deployment. That
letter meant so much to me
because he took time to plan,
not only demonstrated his
care but gave me something
to look forward to through the
rest of deployment."
Cheryl Caldwell, seasoned
spouse and former ombuds-
man encourages us to man-
age our expectations and talk
to our spouses. She and Jodie
agree talking in advance will
enhance our ability to cele-
brate all holidays impacted by
deployment.
Jill Johnson, military spouse,
ombudsman, and FRG and
ombudsman trainer at FFSC,
Murphy Canyon, added, "Plan
ahead. Planning for you, your
children and your spouse will
help you manage expectations
and enjoy your celebration.
Tilly Haughen, military
spouse of 36 years, wrapped it
up with, "Deployment is all the
more reason to celebrate the
love of your spouse. Celebrate
in your way, whether writing
a love letter or sending some-
thing special to each other. It
isn't the price of any gift. It
is the love behind that gift.
Celebrate that love"

What if your children want to join the military?
would you encourage
your son or daugh-
ter to join the mili-
tary? What Branch?
My mother recently asked
me this during my husband's
last deployment. This was not
a good time to ask the ques-
tion. I think she does that
on purpose. But it made me
think.
My son who is 10 loves the
idea of becoming an engineer
and joining the military. He
wants to design and build
things. He doesn't care what
he builds, as long as it's big.
Of course, he wants to be a
pro skate boarder and an art-
ist too. This is the same kid
that says, "When I am 18, I am
never cutting my hair again!"
We'll see how that goes.
My daughter is 6 and I'm
not worried about her joining
the military at all, because the
uniforms are not cute enough.
Maybe if they let her bedazzle
some shirts and carry colorful
purses, she'd be interested.
Right now, she wants to be a
ballet teacher and a mommy.
But, that's now. Who knows
what the future holds? Years
from now, after all the phases
and schooling, both of my
children could join the mili-
tary. Could I handle it? Would
I want it? Would I become my
mother-in-law? Oh gosh.
After the initial denial that
my children will in fact grow
up and become adults, my
first thought is that I would be
extremely proud. My husband
and I had to have done some-
thing right, because our
children would want to con-
tinue living a military life.
My second thought would be
concern. This life is not easy,
and it can put a huge strain
on marriages and family rela-
tionships.
Of course I am afraid of
injury or death, but even if
you come home physically
healthy, there is a deeper
form of health. I wouldn't
want my children to feel the
heartache of being alone or
the sadness that comes with
fixing their own child's broken
heart. In a way, I don't want
them to know what I have
gone through.
Other thoughts come to
mind. What if I made it look
too easy? They may join
thinking it will be one way
and find that it's harder than
it seems.
As a spouse on the home
front, you have to be many
things. An actress is one of
them. You have to talk to your
children about feelings and
let them know you feel that
way too, but on the other

Periscope Staff
Many a Periscope cen-
ter spread focuses on
the community and
people in and around Naval
Submarine Base Kings Bay.
This week, however, we high-
light the Ohio-class subma-
rines whose presence brings
the people and community
together.
The mission of Naval
Submarine Base Kings Bay
is "to provide support to the
fleet, fighter and family. It is
the east coast homeport for
the Ohio-class fleet ballistic
and guided -missile subma-
rines and the only naval base
in the Atlantic fleet capable of
supporting the Trident II (D-
5) missile."

USS Rhode Island (SSBN 740);

You can modify a child support order
By Frank C. Swaggard
Legal Intern
If a court has issued an order
for you to pay child support,
you must pay that amount.
However, personal cir-
cumstances may change. For
example, you and the other
parent may agree to a differ-
ent amount, you may lose
your job or face a paycut, or
you may have a new family
to support. You cannot simply
stop paying the court-ordered
amount. You must request
and be granted a modification
from the court of your child
support order before making
any adjustments to the regular
amount.
The same is true for the cus-
todial parent who wishes to
increase the amount paid by
the noncustodial parent. The
custodial parent must file a
motion to modify with the
court and seek a new order.
If you would like to modify
your child support obligations,
or the obligations of the other
parent, there are some impor-
tant things to know.
Orders for child support will
not be altered by a court if the
same facts that existed when
the order was entered. Simply
put, there must be a significant
change in your circumstances,
or the circumstances of the
other parent, before a court
will modify any order for child
support. The change must be
ACTIVE MIL]
Laurel Islanc
a truly significant change and
something that was not con-
sidered by the court when the
original order was entered.
Support orders also can be
temporary. Many courts will
allow for a temporary depar-
ture from their original order
when the justification for that
departure is itself temporary.
For example, temporary incar-
ceration may merit a tempo-
rary reduction in the support
order.
What constitutes material
and substantial changes varies
from state to state, but some of
the more common factors are:
Increased needs caused
by advanced age and maturity
of the children
Increases in expenses
Inflation
Relative financial condi-
tion and earning capacity of
the parents
Health and special medi-
cal needs of the children, both
physical and psychological
Health and special medi-
cal needs of the parents, both

Estimated amount of
income taxes the respec-
tive parties must pay on their
incomes

nishings and automobiles.

This list does not include
all the reasons for legitimately
seeking to modify a child sup-
port order. If you think you
qualify for a modification of a
support order, the best place
to begin is with the clerk of
court for the family court
which issued the original order.
The clerk can instruct you as to
which forms you should fill out
and how to properly file them.
Many courts now provide
the appropriate forms on their
Web sites and include instruc-
tions for their completion and
filing. Forms of this nature can
be long and complicated. The
most important thing to keep
in mind is to be thorough and
as accurate as possible. You
should have a copy of the orig-
inal support order with you
when completing your forms.
After the motion to mod-
ify has been appropriately
filed, you will need to notify
the other parent. You can do
this in most jurisdictions by
obtaining a notice form from
the same clerk or Web site.
Notice is an essential step in
the process, and failing to pro-
vide it will have your request
denied from the outset.
You can talk with a Kings Bay legal
assistance attorney about child support
orders by calling (912) 573-3959.
Secret Shopper
returns to MWR
From Morale, Welfare and
Recreation and Periscope Staff
Morale, Welfare and
Recreation's Secret Shopper
program, a customer-ser-
vice improvement process, is
looking for active-duty offi-
cer and enlisted and family
members, 18 years and older,
plus Department of Defense
employees who frequently use
MWR facilities.
Started in 2006, MWR is
re-energizing the program.
Confidentiality is paramount
to the program's success,so
Secret Shoppers identification
will never be given to MWR
customer service staff. In
return, Secret Shoppers must
not share that they are in the
program.
The program offers incen-
tives and MWR services at no
cost. In return, a Secret Shop
will be assigned, and a short
administrative report is due
after you conduct the Secret
Shop.
David McConnell, of MWR
Information Systems on board
Kings Bay, is in charge of the
program.
"I've got 20 to 25 responses,
with about 10 openings to go,
but I'm having trouble finding
shoppers for the youth center
and child development cen-
ters," McConnell said.
Due to the fact that a Secret
Shopper will be paid for their
work, military and govern-
ment employees must submit
a request for outside employ-
ment in accordance with
SUBASEINST 12735.1 once
accepted as a Secret Shopper.
It must be ensured that mili-
tary and GS/WG workers are
not working as secret shop-
pers during their duty or work
hours. That would result in a
person working and getting
paid for two jobs at the same
time.
If a shop is to be conducted
during your normal working
hours, leave would have to be
taken.
For military, the request for
outside employment will be
routed through the service
members chain of command
to ensure it is aware of the out-
side activity.
If you are interested in this
customer service improve-
ment process, e-mail the
facilities you frequently use to

Kings Bay begins
new Compass class
THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, February 5, 2009 7
MOAA offers grants
for college education
By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff
Being a Navy spouse is no
easy task. Even with help, it
can be a troubling and lonely
job that can leave a spouse
feeling lost or overwhelmed.
Thankfully, a former Kings
Bay Navy wife has developed
a program to guide spouses
down the right path. The
Compass class is a mentoring
program that offers informa-
tion to assist spouses.
"You can use the compass.
org Web site to join the class,"
said Compass mentor Hope
Trujillo, in charge of registra-
tion and information here.
"It's an easy way to register.
Don't hesitate, because spots
go fast.
If Family Readiness Groups
or spouses from commands
are interested in taking the
class, they should contact
Compass. All that's needed is
a group of 10 students.
"It's important for new
or seasoned Navy wives to
take the class," Trujillo said.
"You owe it to yourself to
be informed in all facets of
military life from the spouse's
point of view. It is a great class
with a lot of information."
Rosemary Ellis, wife of
retired Rear Adm. Jerry Ellis,
began the Compass Program,
then called SUBS, in 1998,
while at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Since then, Compass has been
established on naval bases
worldwide. The Ellis fam-
ily was stationed at Kings Bay
from 1993 to 1995, while Ellis
was in command of Submarine
Group 10.
Compass is a team-oriented
program developed by spous-
es for spouses. The program
is run and taught by spouses
who volunteer their time. The
curriculum for Compass is
standardized throughout the
Navy.
"Compass is a great class
for spouses new to the Navy
as well as more experienced
wives," said Jordy Morrison, a
Compass team leader. "It's a
great way for spouses to learn
about the Navy and meet
other people who share simi-
lar experiences".
The 12-hour program is
taught in three four-hour ses-
sions. With mentors acting as
discussion leaders, partici-
pants are encouraged to ask
questions in a climate that
isn't biased or judgmental.
Participants are introduced
to many aspects of Navy life.
The standardized curriculum
Navy photo by MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Kerry Rathgeber and Margot Hamm cut the cake they repre-
sent the longest lasting marriage and newest marriage in the
Compass class.
includes need-to-know top-
ics such as the Navy mission,
history, organization, customs
and traditions, rights and ben-
efits, deployment, pay, mov-
ing, interpersonal communi-
cation, and investing in self
and community.
"An Ombudsman training
class informed me about the
class" said Compass student
Lauren Hudson. "It's a chance
to ask questions that you want
to ask, but never know where
to go to ask.
"We're all in the same boat
and situation. We talk about
real situations that occur when
husbands are at sea, such as
a car was breaking down or
the toilet overflowing. And,
they teach you where to go
to find information and how
to read a Leave and Earning
Statement."
Another valuable benefit
of the class is peer network-
ing connections made with
other spouses. Compass pro-
vides wives with the tools
and knowledge that service
members may not realize their
wives need to know.
The class is free for spouses,
and childcare and food is pro-
vided for the class. Classes in
the daytime and evenings for
schedule flexibility.

matthiesen@yahoo.com. You

Military Saves Week activities being planned
From the Kings Bay Fleet and Family
Support Center
The Navy is taking the
lead with the Department of
Defense planning efforts for
Military Saves Week, Feb. 22 to
March 1.
Events are scheduled at
Navy facilities throughout the
United States and around the
world.
"One of the Navy's major
goals is to encourage the Navy
community as a whole to
take action for their personal
financial readiness, make a
commitment to build wealth
and reduce debt, create a cul-
ture that promotes individual
financial fitness, and learn
more about financial tools
and resources promoted in the
Military Saves Campaign," said
David DuBois, commander,
Navy Installations Command
Deputy, Navy Fleet and Family
Support Programs and Military
Saves Campaign Leader. "The
Navy hopes to increase partic-
ipation by at least 20 percent
over last year. An impressive
45,000 sailors and their family
members participated in the
2008 week-long event, includ-
ing the Navy Youth Centers.
"The Navy is taking the
lead in turning the world's
best fighting force into the
country's best savings team,"
said Sarah Shirley, director of
Military Saves. "Military banks
and defense credit unions
have partnered with Navy at
the global and local level in
ways that show how to pro-
mote financial stability and
asset development, and at
the same time improve your
business model. We hope that
other organizations follow this
lead."
Local commanderswillmake
proclamations supporting the
Week, defense credit unions
and military banks will offer
incentives and special prod-
ucts to help military families
boost their savings and dimin-
ish their debt, and many mili-
tary-affiliated organizations
including the Better Business
Bureau, MWR, Children and
Youth, Boys and Girls Clubs,
the American Society of
Military Comptrollers, Navy-
Marine Corps Relief Society,
Navy Exchange and Defense
Commissary Agency will help
reinforce the message to save:
"Build Wealth. Not Debt."

Florida makes changes
to motorcycle laws
From Traffic & Recreational Safety
With Daytona's Bike Week
just around the corner, here's a
heads up on some new laws.
Florida added several new
statutes related to motorcycle
operation revising traffic laws
to create a few more penalties.
This short bill was particularly
focused on unsafe motorcycle
activities, and it does include a
provision for excessive speed.
The law also provides penal-
ties for the first, second, third
or subsequent violations.
The new law says a per-
son shall ride a motorcycle
or moped only while sitting
astride the seat, with both
wheels on the ground at all
times, facing forward and
with one leg on each side of
the motorcycle or moped.
However, it is not a violation
of this subsection if the wheels
of a motorcycle or moped lose
contact with the ground brief-
ly due to the condition of the
road surface or other circum-
stances beyond the control
of the operator. The license
tag of a motorcycle or moped
must be permanently affixed
horizontally to the ground and
may not be adjusted or capa-
ble of being flipped up.
Violations of these laws
carry the same fines/penal-
ties. First offense is $1,000 plus
court costs.

for their team to win.
More than 50 fans enjoyed
food and watched a close,
hard-fought game at Naval

"We try to have a quality
party at a price more afford-

live in the barracks can have
a couple drinks and then walk
home with no worries of need-

AMC theaters, Cracker Barrel
and Ruby Tuesday, were
awarded to fans. People
brought team-name adorned
chairs and partied comfort-
ably for the game.
EM1 (SW) John Hanna,
who works at Port Operations,
came to the Game Zone to
watch the game.
"I came here because it is
close and the crowd is laid
back," Hanna said. "I can
watch the game and relax with
out a 1,000 people screaming
in my ear and getting rowdy. It
is also reasonably priced. I can
grab some good food, a drink
and watch the game, and it's
like I'm in my living room."
After a drama-filled first half
ended the Pittsburgh Steelers
scoring on the last play on a
101-yard interception return
for a touchdown by the NFL
defensive player of the year
James Harrison. As the crowd
watched him lumber down
the field, Steeler fans cheered
and Cardinal fans looked on
in shock.
Halftime commercials drew
laughter.
By the fourth quarter, fans of
both teams were glued to their
seats and cheering one on the
best endings to a Super Bowl
in years. The Cardinals scored
16 unanswered points when
quarterback Kurt Warner
started throwing to his star
target Larry Fitzgerald. With
2:37 remaining, Warner threw
a pass down the middle to
Fitzgerald who took the pass
and sped 64 yards for a touch-
down, giving Arizona the lead
for the first time.
But on the next posses-
sion, the Steelers system-
atically moved the ball down
the field. Quarterback Ben
Roethlisbergertosseda40-yard
strike to Santonio Holmes set-
ting up first-and-goal with 1:02
on the clock. Two plays later,
Roethlisberger threw a 6-yard
touchdown strike to Holmes,
who caught the game-winner
deep in the corner of the end
zone, getting both feet down
before landing out of bounds.
The Cards fumbled with 5
seconds left and the Steelers
ran out the clock.
Steeler fans cheered after
their team won a record sixth
Super Bowl. Sad Cardinal fans
felt the game could have gone
either way.
It was a game for the ages.
And the folks at MWR had a
great venue to watch it at.
Service members with or
without dependents who are
reassigned within the conti-
nental United States, main-
tain an established residence
and commute daily to their
new Permanent Duty Station
or homeport, may qualify for
Basic Allowance for Housing
based on their previous PDS.
To qualify for BAH based
on the previous PDS, as per
NAVADMIN 026/09, the fol-
lowing provisions must be
met:
Funding for a Household
Goods move must not be
authorized. Member must
request through their detailer
to remove funding line from
their orders to become eligi-
ble.
Member must main-
tain a continuous residence.
Member must have an estab-
lished residence prior to
receiving new orders. If mem-
ber moves after the issue of
orders, regardless whether the
move was at personal expense
or not, there is no authoriza-
tion for BAH based on the pre-
vious PDS, including moves
within the same area.
Member must commute
daily to the new PDS from the
same residence. In the request
for this PDS-based allowance,
the CO of the member's gain-
ing command must verify
that the commuting distance
is reasonable or normal for
the geographic location of
the command. A note on the
request must say, "It is (rea-
sonable/unreasonable) to say
that the member could com-
mute to and from his/her resi-
dence each day."
A member who qualifies
and executes a back-to-back
close proximity move also may
continue receiving BAH based
on previous PDS location. In a
case which a member executes
a close proximity move and
requests to maintain BAH at
the previous duty station rate,
and then receives a new set of
orders to the current location,
the member is authorized
to continue to maintain the
previous duty station rate, so
long as the member contin-
ues to maintain that same cur-
rent residence. For example, a
Sailor assigned to Jacksonville,
Fla., is ordered to Kings Bay.
The Sailor is subsequently
issued another set of orders to
Kings Bay. The Sailor's BAH is
as follows:
Jacksonville, FL Jackson-
ville rate (BAH based on the
PDS)
Kings Bay, GA Jackson-
ville rate (BAH based on previ-
ous PDS)
Kings Bay, GA Jackson-
ville rate (BAH based on previ-
ous PDS)
If BAH at the previous duty
station is still warranted, mem-
ber must request new autho-
rization from Commander,
Navy Personnel Command.
With the approval for a close
proximity move and BAH at
the previous PDS, a member
will forfeit all travel and trans-
portation allowances.
All requests for BAH at the
previous PDS rate must be
submitted to PERS-451H for
action. A request will be in the
form of a command endorsed
letter from the member's gain-
ing command, not detaching
command. The Commanding
Officer's endorsement must
include the following:
Statement verifying the
member's residence was
established prior to the date
member's orders were issued
Statement verifying the
member's commute (length
and time of drive) is consid-
ered to be reasonable, and
performed on a daily basis
The member's PCS orders
provided no funding to relo-
cate residence
Requests cannotbe accept-
ed without the Commanding
Officer's endorsement

Obama visits Joint Chiefs
By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service
In his first visit to the
Pentagon as commander in
chief, President Barack Obama
Jan. 28 thanked U.S. troops
and pledged to provide the
resources they need to accom-
plish their missions.
Obama spoke to reporters
after meeting with the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates to
discuss military readiness,
"difficult decisions" on Iraq
and Afghanistan and other
national security threats and
objectives.
"I want to first of all thank
all of the men and women in
uniform who are represented
here. They are the best that
this country has to offer,"
Obama said after he and Vice
President Joe Biden shook
hands with a row of troops
from all service branches who
lined an E-ring Pentagon hall-
way.
"All of you who are serving
in the U.S. armed forces are
going to have my full support,
and one of my duties as presi-
dent is going to be to make
sure that you have what you
need to accomplish your mis-
sions," he said.
Obama said the first point
he addressed with the Joint
Chiefs, the senior-ranking
officers of each military service
branch, was gratitude for the
service and sacrifice of troops
and military families, who
he said were responsible for
national freedoms that some-
times are taken for granted.
He also suggested that he
would relieve some of the
pressure placed on the mili-
tary by more evenly distribut-
ing responsibility among other
U.S. government elements.
"We have for a long time
put enormous pressure on our
military to carry out a whole
set of missions, sometimes not
with the sort of strategic sup-
port and the use of all aspects
of American power to make
sure that they're not carrying
the full load," he said. "And
that's something that I spoke
to the chiefs about and that I
intend to change as president
of the United States."
The president added that
those involved in this after-
noon's meeting in "The
Tank," the secure area in the
Joint Chiefs of Staff wing of
the Pentagon, agreed to
make sure "the health of our
force is always in our sights."
Participants included Navy
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
the chiefs of the Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marine Corps. The
commandant of the Coast
Guard, though not a member
of the Joint Chiefs, also par-
ticipated.
"I know [they] are constantly
thinking about what we need
to do to make sure that people
who are in uniform for the
United States are getting the
kinds of support that they
need and that [their families
need], and that's something
that I absolutely am commit-
ted to, and I know that Vice
President Biden is as well," he
said.

George W. Casey, U.S. Army chief of staff; U.S. Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright, vice chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and U.S. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff,
addresses the media during his first visit to the Pentagon since becoming commander-in-chief.
Some of the most urgent
issues facing White House
and Pentagon officials include
the ways forward in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
"We're going to have some
difficult decisions that we're
going to have to make sur-
rounding Iraq and Afghanistan
most immediately," Obama
said. "Obviously, our efforts to
continue to go after extrem-
ist organizations that would
do harm to the homeland is
uppermost in our minds."

McNeill said the good news
is the recommendation focus-
es on national defense and
protecting the nation against
nuclear attack. She said she
has become concerned recent-
ly because of the emphasis
on the war against terrorism
and ongoing wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
"I think the fear is people
will forget about the threat of
nuclear attack," she said. "It
always pays to be strong."
I should be more afraid
because I know what actually
goes on. I disagree. I think
that fear of the unknown
is stronger. Look at my
mother-in-law. She has no
prior experience with the
military, and her son's serv-
ing has caused her a few
anxiety attacks. She doesn't
understand a lot of what goes
on, and it can be very scary
for her. In my opinion, your
imagination can always take
you further than the truth.
With all that said, I guess I
would place joining the mili-
tary on the upper half of the
career list. It is an honorable
job that isn't for everyone.
And some argue that pay is
a factor, but there are some
very high-paying jobs in the
military. Please don't confuse
that statement with service
members get paid enough.
I strongly believe that most
jobs in the military are not
compensated fairly.
My mother also threw in the
question, "What if they didn't
choose the Navy?" Oh, good
question! I know my husband
would have more to say about
this part than myself. But for
the sake of hate mail, I won't
stir the pot today.
I do have my opinions

The recommendation also
calls for increasing Trident
Training Facility instructors
and staff. No decision by the
Naval Education and Training
Command has been made on
staff increases at this time.
"Most of these actions are
approved and are under way,"
Rebarich said. "The timing for
other actions is not yet cer-
tain but is being developed
by Commander Submarine
Forces, Fleet Forces Command
and Chief of Navy Personnel."
From the National Fatherhood
Initiative
The Military Fatherhood
Award is given each year to a
military father who goes above
and beyond his duties, both as
a serviceman and as a dad, to
make sure he and his family
stay connected throughout the
stresses of military life.
The award winner is chosen
from a pool of nominations by
moms, wives, kids, friends, and
others from across the country
and around the world. This
year's award winner will go
brought to Washington, D.C.,
with his family and will be rec-
ognized at a special ceremony
on June 9.
The award is sponsored
by The National Fatherhood
Initiative and Lockheed

I will make sure that they
are educated, well mannered

them for the real world. After
that, I will support their deci-

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.

NAS Jacksonville Chapel Center at

S1 Look for our roving reporter, MC1
What do you think about the new uniforms? and tell him what you think about our
question of the week.
A s the Navy progresses and grows into a force for the new
world, changes have come to represent a new more pro-
Iv essional force.
With this we have new uniforms to look forward to. I am not
saying the new uniforms are perfect, but I do think they look
professional and will wear better than the old ones.
What do others think? Well, I sought out different opinions
around Kings Bay to find out what those affected by the change
think about the new uniforms.

mean something. It was They are really easy to take
something that was earned." care of, too."
CS2 (SS) Alaunta Martin
Pirates Cove Galley
Washington, D.C.
"I like the new uniform
because it makes you feel one
step closer to management.
The shirt is khaki, and chiefs
and officers wear khaki. It
gives you something to strive
for. You strive to get khaki
pants to match the shirt and
anchors on the collars. I also
prefer the garrison cover to the
white Dixie cup cover. They
look more professional."'
EMI (SS) Hector Perez
Trident Refit Facility
Puerto Rico
"I like the way the new uni-
forms look, but I miss having
long sleeves in the winter. It
can get pretty cold in the win-
ter at some duty stations. And
the jacket is not something
you are going to want to work
in, because they are pricey.
But they look real nice and
professional."
MTSN Matthew Cole
USS Rhode Island
SSBN 740
Whitney, Texas
"The new uniforms look
pretty nice and wear better.
But, looking at them will take
some getting used to. You
have to be careful to look at
collar devices because every-
one is wearing khaki now."
CSSN Chris Smith
Fluckey Hall quarterdeck
Frankfurt, Ky.
"The uniform is lower
maintenance because you can
wear them year around and
they won't show as much dirt
as the summer whites do. You
do have to take a closer look
at the collar devices to see
rank and pay grade however."
MCPON sounds off on uniforms
From Master Chief Petty Officer of the
Navy Public Afffairs
Master Chief Petty Officer of the
Navy (SS/SW) Rick West released
his first podcast to the fleet last
week and focused on the Navy
Working Uniform.
West pointed out that Sailors
in the Tidewater area will be
the first to wear it and that soon
the American public will have a
chance to see it as well.
"When they think of Sailors,
they think of crackerjacks, white
hats and neckerchiefs," West said.
"Seeing Sailors in a camouflage
uniform is going to take some
getting used to. It's up to us to
make sure that when they do see
us, we're wearing the NWU the
way it was intended to be worn."
West emphasized the impor-
tant role chief petty officers will
play in training the rest of the
Navy on the proper wear of the
NWU. He underscored the cur-
rent regulations that prohibit
Sailors from wearing the NWU
off-base but said that once the
CPO Mess feels every Sailors has
been trained to wear it correctly,
that regulation may relax.
"Show the chiefs that you know
how to wear the NWU and that's
when we'll look at different situ-
ations that let you wear it off

Brothers .'
hook-up
in Iraq
By Lance Cpl. Alan Addison
Regimental Combat Team 8
While deployed, Marines
often depend on phone calls
and e-mails to keep in contact
with their families.
Some Marines however, can
find themselves separated
from a loved one by just a few
miles.
"I didn't know exactly where
we were going, but I knew my
brother was going to al Asad,
then I found out we were going
to al Asad; I was pretty thrilled.
I mean, when do you get to
deploy and see your brother?"
said Cpl. Mark Thiry, a vehicle
commander with Regimental
Combat Team 8's Personal
Security Detail.
The Chattanooga native's
brother, Sgt. Jeremiah "Jeremy"
Thiry, is an air frame mechan-
ic with Marine Fighter Attack
Squadron 122.
"I'm glad he's here'," Jeremy
said. "It's like having a little bit
of home here with me."'
Although Mark is stationed
near his brother, it took a little
work for him to finally find
him.
"When I first got here, I
didn't know where he was,"
Mark said. "I told my buddies I
was going to find my brother. I
asked around and finally found
him sleeping in his room."'
In most instances the
younger brother follows the
path of the older brother, but
these two were a little differ-
ent. Mark went off to recruit
training in April 2004 in pur-
suit of becoming a Marine,
and in September, Jeremy,
who is three years older than
his brother, also answered the
call to serve his country.
"When I graduated, it was
kind of a shock. I lost about 70
pounds, and I wasn't lazy any-
more. I like to think I inspired
him," Mark said.
Jeremy said that seeing his
brother graduate from recruit
training made him realize
that joining the Marine Corps
would give him the challenge
he wanted.

Although Mark Thiry, right, and his brother Jeremy Thiry have
different military occupations, the Chattanooga natives say
being together in Iraq makes them feel a little closer to home.
The Marine Corps offered
a little more to these brothers
than just a challenge. It gave
them the chance to develop
their personal relationship.
"I was in good with my old-
est brother, but Jeremy and
I were pretty much at each
other's throat when we were
younger. The Marine Corps
has definitely brought us clos-
er," Mark said.
"It gives us something
to relate over, both of us
can understand the things
we go through within the
Marine Corps," Jeremy said.
"Friendship is saying 'me too,'
and we definitely say that more
now.
Trina Thiry, Mark and
Jeremy's mother, said, "The
Marine Corps has given them
that sort of common ground;
like going through boot camp,
you know there's nothing like
that."'
While the two brothers have
grown closer as a result of their
Marine Corps careers, their
sibling rivalry has not faded
away.
"There's always going to be
that brotherly competition,
Jeremy" said.
"Growing up we had the lit-
tle-brother, big-brother fights
so I would say that we defi-
nitely try to outdo each other;'
Mark said.
Their mother described them
as always wanting to show each
other who was better.
Outside of their ongoing sib-
ling rivalry, Mark and Jeremy
hold a great deal of respect and
admiration for each other.
"He really cares about peo-
ple and their well being, and
he's not self-consumed. He's
a genuinely compassionate
person," Jeremy said without
hesitation.
"He's driven in what he
does," Mark said. "He's had a
lot of life experiences, so he's
really able to help people fix
their problems. Maybe it's just
me but I think he can fix any-
thing."
From Navy Personnel Command
Public Affairs
The Chief of Naval Personnel
announced the establishment
of senior enlisted continuation
boards Jan. 24 as a means to
help shape the force.
"In an effort to stabilize and
shape the force, ensure con-
tinued advancement opportu-
nity, and retain our top per-
formers, a continuation board
for enlisted Sailors with over
20 years of active service will
be held for active and FTS
(full-time support). The board
will be focused on retaining
our top performers serving
in our most demanding bil-
lets while also ensuring con-
tinued advancement oppor-
tunity," said Vice Adm. Mark
Ferguson, CNP.
The annual board, along
with several other force-shap-
ing measures, has been intro-
duced as the Navy strives to
meet its congressionally man-
dated end strength of 329,000
active duty Sailors.
"Our intention is to stabilize
our personnel end strength at
329,000 from our current level
of 331,000,;' said Ferguson.
According to the message,
the fiscal year 2010 E7-E9
Senior Enlisted Continuation
Board convenes Sept. 21 at
Navy Personnel Command.
Members not selected for con-
tinuation will transfer to the
fleet reserve or retire no later
than June 30, 2010.
The board will review the
records of active-duty and FTS
E7 through E9 personnel with
at least 20 years of active ser-
vice and three years time-in-
rate as of Sept. 1.
Exemptions to the FY-10
Senior Enlisted Continuation
Board include Sailors with
approved fleet Reserve/retire-
ment dates effective on or
before June 30, 2010, those
with high-year tenure dates on
or before June 30, 2010, frocked
personnel, those selected
for advancement in FY-10
boards, personnel selected for
command senior chief/mas-
ter chief programs from the
FY-10 board, personnel with
orders to or serving in the first

Additionally, personnel hold-
ing a nuclear, SEAL (special
warfare boat operator, special
warfare operator), explosive
ordnance disposal technician
or diver enlisted classifica-
tion code, plus fleet, force and
command master chiefs are
exempt from the board.
Each eligible member is
responsible for ensuring their
record is correct and up to
date with latest evaluations,
awards and other appropriate

Obama appoints
special envoys
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
President Barack Obama
traveled to the State
Department Jan. 22 to
announce the appointment
of two special envoys: former
Maine Sen. George Mitchell as
special envoy for Middle East
peace and Richard Holbrooke
as special representative to
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The president thanked the
men for taking on the tasks.
Both are seasoned diplo-
mats with Mitchell negotiat-
ing in Northern Ireland and
Holbrooke responsible for the
Dayton Accords that brought
peace to Bosnia.
The president spoke to the
assembled foreign service and
civil service audience about
the importance of democracy
to his administration, echo-
ing themes from his inaugural
speech.
"We must recognize that
America's strength comes not
just from the might of our arms
or the scale of our wealth, but
from our enduring values,"
he said. "And for the sake of
our national security and the
common aspirations of people
around the globe, this era has
to begin now."'

Diplomacy will lead U.S.
efforts throughout the world,
Obama said.
"It will be the policy of my
administration to actively and
aggressively seek a lasting
peace between Israel and the
Palestinians, as well as Israel
and its Arab neighbors," the
president said.
Mitchell "will be fully
empowered at the negotiating
table," Obama said.
The president reiterated U.S.
support and commitment to
Israeli security.
Obama also called Afghani-
stan and Pakistan the central
front in the enduring struggle
against terrorism and extrem-
ism.
"We must understand that
we cannot deal with our
problem in isolation," he
said. "There is no answer in
Afghanistan that does not con-
front the al-Qaida and Taliban
bases along the border. And
there will be no lasting peace
unless we expand spheres of
opportunity for the people of
Afghanistan and Pakistan."'
Any progress in the region
will take time, Obama said.

THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, February 5, 2009 13
Mullen: Cooperation key to stable Afghan region
By Army Staff Sgt. Michael
J. Carden
American Forces Press Service
The most challenging secu-
rity threat troubling the United
States lies in Afghanistan
and Pakistan, and it will take
cooperation from throughout
the region and support from
much of the world to reach
success, the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff said dur-
ing a news conference at the
Foreign Press Center Jan. 27.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen
answered a barrage of ques-
tions from foreign reporters
about topics relevant to their
countries, but few answers
went without including the
need to stabilize the entire
region.
"When I talk about a
regional approach, I include
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran,
as well as India," Mullen said.
'And I think the regional coun-
tries there have a very signifi-
cant stake in stability and in
outcomes which are positive.
"With respecttoAfghanistan,
a regional approach is criti-
cal," he continued. "And, to
the degree that we are able to
dialogue with them that finds
some mutual interests, there
is potential there for moving
ahead together."
Military leaders and the
national security team are
working to craft a new strat-
egy for the way forward in
Afghanistan, which President
Barack Obama wants to be
"appropriately inclusive with
our relationship with Pakistan
as well as other nations in the
region," Mullen said.
The Joint Staff at the
Pentagon is readyto contribute
to this strategy and implement
the new president's guidance,
he added.
"You all have been covering
recent events in Afghanistan
long enough to know that the
situation there grows increas-
ingly perilous every day," he
told the reporters. "Suicide
and [bombing] attacks are up;
some say as much as 40 per-
cent over the last year. The
Taliban grows bolder in plant-
ing fear and intimidating the
Afghan people, and the flow
of militants across the border
with Pakistan continues."
For those reasons, the
Pentagon has been working
for months to increase forces
in Afghanistan and meet the
requests of ground command-
ers there, he said. Some 20,000

media at the Foreign Press Center, Washington, D.C., Jan. 27.
to 30,000 additional troops are
expected deploy to Afghanistan
in the coming months, which is
more than double the number
of American forces there now.
Mullen said the contri-
butions of foreign troops in
Afghanistan are extremely
valued as well. With 10,000
more NATO troops there now
than last year, they are training
Afghan security forces, work-
ing with local governments
and improving infrastructure.
Mullen stressed that more will
be needed, but not just mili-
tary.
There are "upwards of 42
countries in Afghanistan," he
said. "And we need the assis-
tance across a broad group of
requirements, not just military,
to assist in moving us forward
there in a very positive way.
Though military forces will
never be enough to achieve
a stable Afghanistan, we all
agree that the security they
provide is a necessary compo-
nent to that success."
Mullen explained a need
for a significant increase in
the number of civilians from
U.S. government agencies to
impact Afghanistan. Those
additions may improve the
economic plight of the Afghan
people and governance so the
political piece can move for-
ward, he said.
"[The military] can't do it
alone under any circum-
stances'," he said. "And all the
additional troops in the world
aren't going to make any dif-
ference if we don't get these
other pieces in place as well.
[The military] can do a lot, but
we have limits. And if we're
the only part of a solution in
Afghanistan, it's not going to
work."
White House Web site outlines National Security agenda
By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service
As President Barack Obama
begins his presidency, the
administration starts a new
presidential agenda on the
White House's official Web
site.
Shortly after Obama took
office, the president's agenda,
including Obama's strategy
for defense and Middle East
policy, was uploaded to www.
whitehouse.gov.
According to the agenda, the
administration supports the
effort begun in 2007 to increase
the size of the Army by 65,000
soldiers and the Marine Corps
by 27,000 to help units retrain
and re-equip properlybetween
deployments and decrease the
strain on military families.
The new commander in chief
also plans to create a Military
Families Advisory Board to
make senior policymakers
and the public more aware of
military families' concerns.
Meanwhile, a vignette on the
site about first lady Michelle
Obama states that supporting
military families is an issue
"close to her heart," and an
issue on which she intends to
focus her efforts.
Many of the policies cited
online mirror the items Obama
and Vice President Joe Biden
endorsed on their campaign
and transition Web sites.
An issue affecting both mili-
tary members and their fami-
lies is the policy of "stop-loss"
that requires selected troops
to remain in uniform after
their service contracts expire.
The president has promised to
cease these mandatory exten-
sions.
"Obama and Biden will end
the stop-loss policy and estab-
lish predictability in deploy-
ments so that active duty and
reserves know what they can
and must expect," the site
states.
Another piece of Obama's
defense agenda is building
defense capabilities for the
21st century by fully equip-
ping troops, including mem-
bers of the National Guard and
reserves, for their missions,
and balancing conventional
and counterinsurgency weap-
ons systems. The president
also advocates maintaining
aerial and naval capabilities,
and supporting a pragmatic
and cost-effective missile
defense system.
Obama and Biden have
vowed to build up special
operations forces, civil affairs,
information operations, and
other units and capabilities
that are in chronic short sup-
ply; to invest in foreign lan-
guage training, cultural aware-
ness, human intelligence and
other needed counterinsur-
gency and stabilization skill
sets; and to create a more
robust capacity to train, equip
and advise foreign security
forces.
This agenda item dove-
tails with the administration's
pledge to develop "whole-
of-government" initiatives to
spur global stability, in which
military and civilian efforts
are linked and a 25,000-strong
Civilian Assistance Corps con-
sisting of doctors, lawyers,
engineers and police is formed
as a deployable unit available
in times of domestic or inter-
national need.
On foreign policy, the site
describes the incomingadmin-
istration's plans for U.S. force
posturing in the Middle East:
"Barack Obama and Joe Biden
will responsibly end the war
in Iraq so that we can renew
our military strength [and]
dedicate more resources to the
fight against the Taliban and
[al-Qaida] in Afghanistan."
Obama
From Page 12
Violence in Afghanistan has
risen, insurgents fielded and
the opium trade has grown.
Outside Kabul, the Afghan
government is unable to deliv-
er basic services.
"While we have yet to see
another attack on our soil
since 9/11, al-Qaida terrorists
remain at large and remain
plotting," Obama said
The United States aims to
strengthen partnerships with
regional governments and sus-
tain cooperation with NATO
allies.
The president also spoke on
the executive orders he signed
earlier today. The orders call
for all U.S. interrogations to
abide by rules articulated in
the Army Field Manual 2-
22.3; the closure of the deten-
tion camp at Guantanamo
Bay Naval Station, Cuba; and
a comprehensive review to
determine how to hold and try
terrorism suspects.
"The world needs to under-
stand that America will be
unyielding in defense of its
security and relentless in its
pursuit of those who would
carry out terrorism or threaten
the United States," he said.
These orders send the signal
to the world that the United
States will uphold its fun-
damental values even when
threatened, he said.
"Once again America's moral
example must be the bedrock
and the beacon of our global
leadership," Obama said. "We
are confronted by extraordi-
nary, complex and intercon-
nected global challenges: war
on terror, sectarian division
and the spread of deadly tech-
nology. We did not ask for the
burden that history has asked
us to bear, but Americans will
bear it. We must bear it."

U.S
., Iraq reach agreement
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
The status-of-forces agree-
ment between the United
States and Iraq is a "water-
shed" in the Middle East,
Defense Secretary Robert M.
Gates told the House Armed
Services Committee Jan. 27.
The agreement went into
effect Jan. 1, and it calls for
U.S. combat troops to be out
of Iraqi cities and towns by the
end of June and out of Iraq by
the end of 2011.
"It balances the interests of
both countries as we see the
emergence of a sovereign Iraq
in full control of its territory",
Gates said.
The agreement marks an
important step forward in
the orderly drawdown of the
American presence, the secre-
tary said. "It is a watershed, a
firm indication that American
military involvement in Iraq is
winding down," he said. "Even
so, I would offer a few words of
caution:'
Violence is low, Gates told
the House members, but the
potential exists for setbacks.
"And there may be hard days
ahead for our troops," he told
the representatives.
Even with the military draw-
down, Gates said, he expects
American presence will still be
felt in Iraq.
"We should still expect to
be involved in Iraq, on some
level, for many years to come,
assuming a sovereign Iraq
continues to seek our partner-
ship," Gates said. This would be
in an advisory and assistance
mode negotiated between two
sovereign nations, he said.
The secretary said President
Barack Obama is commit-
ted to a responsible and safe
drawdown of troops in the
country. The president will
hear from Multinational Force
Iraq cCommander Army Gen.
Raymond T. Odierno, U.S.
Central Command chief Army
Gen. David Petraeus and the
members of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. In fact, Gates said, the
president will meet with mili-
tary leaders at the Pentagon
tomorrow.
Gates said that he and Navy
Adm. Mike Mullen, the chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
will continue to have regular
conversations with the presi-
dent.
"We are laying out with
each of the options we will
present to him each of the
commanders' views of the
risks that are associated with
that timeline," Gates said. "So I
think that he has entirely asked
for a range of options, includ-
ing the 16-month, and we will
give him that. He has asked for
some of our assumptions and
for more analysis in certain
areas, and I think this is a very
thorough and real process. I
don't think anybody associ-
ated with it in the Department

remains crucial to the stability
of the Middle East.
Gates tells senators procurement reform a major priority
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
One of the main challenges
facingthe Defense Department
is how the department
acquires goods and services
and manages the taxpayers'
money, Secretary Robert M.
Gates told the Senate Armed
Services Committee Jan. 27.
"A risk-averse culture, a liti-
gious process, parochial inter-
ests, excessive and changing
requirements, budget churn
and instability and some-
times adversarial relation-
ships" within the Defense
Department and with other
parts of government have now
made acquisition reform a pri-
ority, Gates told the senators.
The secretary said defense
officials must make the dif-
ficult procurement choices
beginning with President
Barack Obama's fiscal 2010
defense budget request.
"President Obama will
present his budget later this
spring," Gates told the com-
mittee. "One thing we have
known for many months is that
the spigot of defense spending
that opened on 9/11 is closing.
Two major campaigns ongo-
ing, the economic crisis and
resulting budget pressures
will force hard choices on this
department."
He noted that any necessary
changes "should avoid across-
the-board adjustments, which
inefficiently extend all pro-
grams."
Now is the time to move
forward, Gates said. The cur-
rent situation is "one of those
rare chances ... to critically
and ruthlessly separate appe-
tites from real requirements,
those things that are desirable
in a perfect world from those
things that are truly needed
in light of the threats America
faces, and the missions we are
likely to undertake in the years
ahead," he said.
Gates said resolving the
department's acquisition
problems will take time.
"I have no illusions that all of
this will be solved while I am
at the Pentagon," Gates told
the committee. "Indeed, even
if I am somewhat successful
on the institutional side, the
benefits of these changes may
not be visible for years. My
hope, however, is to draw a
line, and from here forward
make systemic progress to put
the department on a glide path
for future success."
Gates said all services are
feeling the effects of a small
set of expensive weapons pro-
grams that have had repeated
and unacceptable problems
with requirements, schedule,
cost and performance.
This is not a revelation, he
said. Since the end of World
War II, almost 130 studies have
addressed procurement prob-
lems. While there is no "silver-
bullet" solution, he said, "I do
believe we can make headway.
And we have already begun
addressing these issues."
The department has begun to
purchase systems at more effi-
cient rates for the production
lines. Gates said he believes
defense officials can combine
budget stability and order rates
that take advantage of econo-
mies of scale to lower costs.
The old expression "close
enough for government work"
must take on new meaning,
Gates said. "We will pursue
greater quantities of systems
that represent the 75 percent
solution instead of small-
er quantities of 99 percent
exquisite systems," said he
explained.
Procurement needs to
become as joint as the fighting
force, he said.
"While the military's opera-
tions have become very joint,
and impressively so, budget
and procurement decisions
remain overwhelmingly ser-
vice-centric," he said. "To
address a given risk, we may
have to invest more in the
future-oriented program of
one service and less in that
of another, particularly when
both programs were conceived
with the same threat in mind."'
Part of that is the need to
freeze requirements on pro-
grams at contract award and
write contracts that incentivize
proper behavior, Gates said.
"I feel that many programs
that cost more than antici-
pated are built on an inade-
quate initial foundation;' said
he told the Senate panel. "I
believe the department should
seek increased competition,
use of prototypes including
competitive prototyping and
ensure technology maturity so
that our programs are ready
for the next phases of develop-
ment.":'
The department also must
have enough personnel with
the right skills to shepherd
acquisitions forward, he said.
"Over the past eightyears, for
example, the Department of
Defense has operated with an
average percentage of vacan-
cies, in key acquisition posi-
tions, ranging from 13 percent
in the Army to 43 percent in
the Air Force;'," he said.
The wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq have exposed the under-
lying flaws in the Pentagon
bureaucracy, Gates said, not-
ing that he has tried to correct
those problems.
"I've spent the better part
of the last two years focused
on the wars we are fighting
today, and making sure that
the Pentagon is doing every-
thing possible to ensure that
America's fighting men and
women are supported in battle
and properly cared for when
they come home," Gates said.
Gates said institutional pri-
orities and cultural prefer-
ence must be re-ordered. The
bureaucracy still is "largely
arranged to plan for future
wars, to prepare for a short
war, but not to wage a pro-
tracted war," he said.
"The challenge we face," he
told the senators, "is how well
we can institutionalize the
irregular capabilities gained
and means to support troops
in the theater that have been,
for the most part, developed
ad hoc and funded outside the
base budget.":'
Gates said the department
must close a yawning gap
between the way the defense
establishment supports cur-
rent operations and the way
it prepares for future conven-
tional threats.
"Our wartime needs must
have a home and enthusiastic
constituencies in the regular
budgeting and procurement
process," he said. "Our pro-
curement and preparation for
conventional scenarios must,
in turn, be driven more by the
actual capabilities of poten-
tial adversaries, and less by
what is technologically feasi-
ble given unlimited time and
resources."

COME ON PEOPLE
This is ridiculous! Week
after week I run ads for
different departments in
my organization & get
limited response. There
are no gimmicks, no
surprises & and no hid-
den factors. We have
everything anybody else
can offer, in other
words, not lust a great
income, but all the good-
ies too! Commissions &
Incentives, vacations,
trips, rewards, health,
dental, life & vision
insurance and a 401(k).
Starting income, up to
$45K-$75K per year. You
can even qualify for a
$2,000.00 signing bonus.
Sounds good so far,
doesn't it? That's why I
can't understand why in
the world you wouldn't
investigate this opportu-
nity. This week I'm hir-
ing for sales in our
Jacksonville office: No
Experience necessary,
we will train you.
