USS Florida has new skipper


Capt. Randy Crites takes charge
from Capt. William Traub as
Blue crew boss during deployment

By Lt. Jesse L. Hubbart, SC, USN,
USS FLORIDA (SSGN 728) (BLUE) Public Affairs

Capt. Randy B. Crites relieved Capt. William F. Traub as com-
manding officer of USS Florida (SSGN 728) (Blue) during a
Change of Command Ceremony in Diego Garcia, Feb. 3.
Traub delivered the welcoming remarks and Capt. Thomas M.
Calabrese, USS Florida (SSGN 728) (Gold) commanding officer,
served as the principal speaker.
"As the first captain conducting the first deployment on
Florida as a SSGN, Capt. Traub has led with distinction, dignity
and perseverance," Calabrese said. "He has inspired the best
in the crew and the ship has excelled in all tasks. Under Capt.


Traub's leadership, Florida Blue crew has been awarded two
consecutive Battle Efficiency awards and several other awards
for operational and tactical excellence'
Traub took command of the Florida in October 2006 shortly
after the ship left Norfolk Naval Shipyard and changed home-
port to Kings Bay. As a SSGN, Florida missions include Precision
Strike, Joint Special Operations Forces operations, Operational
Preparation of the Battlespace, SSGN/SSN consort operations,
and carrier and expeditionary strike group operations.
"This has been the hardest, yet most satisfying, job I've had
in my career," Traub said. "To take a crew of 165 Sailors and a
submarine just out of the shipyard and transform it into a highly
proficient and fully functioning front-line warfighting platform
has been remarkably rewarding."
Under the command of Traub, the ship completed many
arduous tests beginning with splitting the combined shipyard
crew into blue and gold. Other initial challenges included the
complete modernization and testing of several new systems
while also preparing the ship for its maiden deployment as a

electronic records


Sailors required
to maintain
personal account
From Navy Personnel Command
Public Affairs
The Chief of Navy
Personnel released a
NAVADMIN Feb. 5 announc-
ing the requirement for all
active-duty and Reserve
personnel to establish and
maintain a self-service
Electronic Service Record
account within the next 60
days.
"Having a self-service
account is necessary for
updating emergency con-
tact information" said Vice
Adm. Mark Ferguson,
chief of naval personnel in
NAVADMIN 043/09. "Self-
service accounts contain
other important features,
such as enabling Sailors to
directly submit PCS (perma-
nent change of station) trav-
el claims upon PCS transfer,
update race, ethnicity and
religion information, and
view all other ESR service
record information:'
The requirement date for
Sailors serving at sea and
without connectivity to
establish and ESR is 60 days
upon return to homeport.
The Navy first implement-
ed ESRs in 2006. The ESR
provides individual Sailors,
Personnel Support Activity
Detachments, person-
nel offices holding service
records, Navy Operational
Support Centers and cus-
tomer commands of PSDs


with secure worldwide
Internet access to personnel,
training, and awards data.
The ESR replaces the
paper service record as the
single field level data entry
point for service record
maintenance. Commands
are required to use all avail-
able ESR functionality.
Self-service accounts can
be created at https://nsips.
nmci.navy.mil or on the
Navy Standard Integrated
Personnel System ESR serv-
er on board ship.
Commanding officers,
executive officers and com-
mand master chiefs can
obtain command level
view only access by com-
pleting the NSIPS/ESR sys-
tem authorization request
and contacting their local
NSIPS area manager. This
access provides the user
view only capability for all
ESR accounts within their
UIC(s).
All commands responsi-
ble for service record entries
are required to initiate
updates in NSIPS ESR, how-
ever official military person-
nel file requirements remain
unchanged.
NSIPS ESR is the data
entry point for electronic

Environmentalists visit Kings Bay


Base open for tours
during Weekend for
Wildlife event

By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff
Kings Bay has a long-standing rep-
utation with Georgia and the Navy for
its conservation and stewardship of the
abundant natural resources and wildlife
found on the strategic submarine base. In
addition to its environmental programs,
the base also partners with the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources for the
Weekend for Wildlife.
One of the many field trips offered dur-
ing the weekend includes a tour of the
submarine base.
"We have supported Weekend for
Wildlife since its inception 20 years ago,"
said base spokesman Ed Buczek. "It is a


pleasure to be involved with this special
program and demonstrate how we bal-
ance mission and the environment."


Since the program
began in 1989 by a
group of environmen-
tally conscience people,
the annual weekend
event draws more than
400 people to Sea Island
and has raised more
than $4.7 million to date
for non-game wildlife
conservation, education
and recreation projects
underway by DNR.

Uncommon support for military spouses


If you are a regular reader
of my column, you know I
am passionate about find-
ing information, resources,
inspiration and tips to help
us as military spouses to
improve our quality of life.
This week, however, I am
veering from my normal for
an opinion piece, an opinion
piece for military spouses.
Throughout our nation's
history the wife of the presi-
dent has effectively used
their position as First Lady
to champion causes, bring-
ing attention to and affecting
change for their chosen inter-
est. Michelle Obama, in her
letter to America's families
(http://tinyurl.com/b49waz),
pledged to be an advocate for
families with special empha-
sis on military families.
Politics aside, this is an
opportunity for military
spouses to have a voice, an
advocate, not previously
enjoyed. But what do we, as
military spouses, Navy spous-
es want? What do we need?


What are the things Mrs.
Obama could champion on
behalf of military spouses?
I am sure each of us could
draft our own wish list. But
let us maximize this opportu-
nity to effect positive change
for not only ourselves but for
military spouses and families
of future generations.
I recently spoke with several
groups of military spouses,
asking what they would like
to see Mrs. Obama to do on
behalf of military spouses.


Below is a compilation of
their thoughts.
1. Career development
2. Educational assistance
for spouses
3. Professional credential-
ing assistance.
4. Educational assistance
for mobile military children
5. Child care
6. Increased of support for
military families and their
service member.
Each of these items requires
expounding, but one thing is
clear. We have an opportunity
to communicate our needs
and experience with a First
Lady who has pledged "we
have an advocate in the White
House."
I am not a call to action-
type person. I'm not a peti-
tion-signing woman. But I
recognize we have a unique
opportunity to effect change,
to have a voice. So, let us not
be lax in this opportunity to
be heard.
What do you need? What
do you want Mrs. Obama to


know about you, your life,
your challenges and your
ideas?
May I encourage you this
week to take time to send a
letter, card, e-mail or note to
Mrs. Obama. Hearing from
military spouses will only
enhance her ability to effec-
tively advocate on our behalf.
You can write Mrs. Obama
at First Lady, Michelle
Obama, The White House,
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW,
Washington, DC, 20500.
Personally, my desire is that
Mrs. Obama will raise aware-
ness and appreciation of the
heroes serving in our military
(after all they are family) and
the heroes left behind the
spouses, children and parents
of military who stand strong
and proud while enduring
challenges beyond the experi-
ence of our civilian counter-
parts.

Dressing, acting appropriately is important


at is and isn't appro-
riate?
Who makes this
decision? I mean, there are
laws that tell you to turn down
loud music so not to offend or
bother others. Establishments
have rules like "no shirt, no
shoes, no service!" And bases
have many guidelines about
this subject.
Did you know that there are
dress codes for facilities on
base? Yep, there sure are, but
some women must not know
this. Here is an example.
I went to a family meeting
at one of my husband's pre-
vious commands. These are
common meetings that almost
every wife that is attached to a
boat has been to many times
during her husband's career.
They normally occur prior to
deploying.
And I had a problem while
sitting there.
A young wife in front of me
was wearing extremely low
and tight hip-hugger jeans.
These jeans were so tight that
they must have been cutting
off circulation to the rest of her


body, hence the small and airy
lace tank top she was wearing
without a bra. I'm assuming
it's purpose was to allow her
to breathe more comfortably
since the pants seemed to be
harming her.
My problem wasn't so much
with her pants or see-through
top. My problem was the tiny,
yet very visible, thong under-
wear which she had showing
a good three inches above her
pants.
Ladies, this is not appropri-
ate.
I wasn't the only one who


noticed. Stadium seating can
be a very bad thing. There was
giggling and a few wives upset
with their husband's straying
eyes that noticed as well. For
a moment I felt bad for the
young wife, but then I thought,
she has a mirror at her house
... right? There is nothing
wrong with dressing your best
and trying to get your hus-
bands attention by wearing a
cute top or outfit. But there is
something wrong with look-
ing as if you are soliciting
yourself. I just would like to
remind women that there are
dress codes on base. And even
if there weren't, you should
know better.
This girl was at a com-
mand function representing
her husband in front of his
seniors, peers and men he was
in charge of. It was a family
function where children were
allowed to attend. I hate that
my children see this stuff. It
really bothers me. So, please
dress appropriately when
attending these functions!
Always wear undergarments
as needed, and I should not be


able to tell what kind and color
you are wearing.
And for those of you who are
thinking, "She's just a bitter
older wife that couldn't pull it
off," well, my husband would
disagree with you. I save those
outfits for him and our date
nights. No one else needs to be
seeing that.
Next, I want to touch on
the "unsupervised" wife that
attends these events. Their
husbands have duty or are at
home with the kids, therefore
leaving them unsupervised.
These are the wives that ask
the inappropriate questions
when the CO, XO or COB is
speaking. Even when it is time
to ask questions, these wives
ask questions that have already
been answered, but they were
not listening.
Sometimes these women
are just loud and rude.
Don't start writing hate mail
to me. I don't think all wives
should be supervised. It's just
that I have watched a sailor's
career become tarnished by
his wife's actions.

Don't miss Feeding the Tides of Change


ast week I offered read-
ers a chance to test their
knowledge of musical
theatre trivia. I had some
responders, but only one with
all correct answers.
So, congratulations Brittany
from Kingsland; your answers
of My Fair Lady (adapted
from Shaw's Pygmalion),
Barbra Streisand (starred in
Funny Girl), Starlight Express
(performed on roller skates),
The Producers (opened
starring Nathan Lane and
Matthew Broderick), Rent
(won a posthumous Drama
Pulitzer for author Jonathan
Larson) and Applause (based
on the novel All About Eve)
earned you a free ticket to an
upcoming musical theater
production. Next month, we
will test your acumen about
music trivia.
When I began writing this
column nearly three years
ago, one of my primary goals
was to let readers know about
a vital arts program that
was getting started. At the
beginning of this decade, as
our community faced eco-
nomic difficulties and many


came Crooked Rivers, i-


despaired about how to rally
together to overcome the loss
of jobs and industry, Crooked
Rivers was born as an idea to
bring people together and as
a way to tell the unique his-
tory of our region to locals
and visitors. Volunteers went
about gathering stories from
many sources with the goal
of creating a production that
would bind performers, audi-
ences and community while
celebrating our history and
telling the unique and inter-
esting story of how we came
to be what we are.
From those early efforts,


cial cultural heritage produc-
tion of Camden County. The
first performance, fittingly,
took place under the stars
at Crooked River State Park.
Sisters Three celebrated the
interaction of our county's cit-
ies and how their intersection
was preceded by historical
events that largely determined
the nature of our economy,
interests and lifestyles.
Fightin,' Faith, and Family
followed in year two, focus-
ing on how war, spirituality
and home shaped our back-
ground. Year three brought
Livin' Lovin,' and Learnin, a
testimony to the importance
of education and relation-
ships in our lives and history.
This year, Crooked Rivers
launches its fourth annual
production, Feeding the Tides
of Change in February and
March. One important aspect
of this year's show is that it
precedes and paves the way
for a visit from a Smithsonian
historical exhibit about food
later this spring in Kingsland.
In keeping with that
emphasis, this year's script


examines the importance of
activities that produce and
celebrate food and provides
stories that offer perspective
on major changes that took
place in our community in
recent decades, specifically
the coming of Kings Bay Naval
Submarine Base to St. Marys.
Feeding the Tides of Change
allows you to meet young-
sters facing their fears about
a resident ghost, the intro-
duction of Navy folk to sand
gnats and wild hogs and a
real native American named
Withlacoochee. You will hear
stories about the early days of
the shrimping industry and
how important it was to lives
on the coast, and you will
learn the importance of "food
for the soul."
This year's production
features new music and sto-
ries, coupled with some old
favorites, all of which center
on aspects of local culture.
Mostly, however, you can
share this experience with
volunteer performers that are
your neighbors and friends.

Once upon a time in a corner of the Bermuda Triangle


0 0 0


W ben I was a kid, long
before I became the
V old cynic I now am,
there were some cool things
to believe in, things like fly-
ing saucers, the Loch Ness
Monster, the Abominable
Snowman and ghosts.
Now, I never really did buy
ghosts, although my father
and paternal grandmother
told me stories of their
encounters with spirits. My
grown daughter, who watches
all the TV shows today, is a
firm believer.
Perhaps being a newspa-
perman turned me into a
skeptic. We have a saying in
this business, "If your mother
tells you something, have it
checked out." And, my mother
never told me there were
ghosts.
TV shows are still selling
ghosts, monsters and fly-
ing saucer stories. I've read
quite a bit about space, and
while I'm a firm believer in
life in many other places in
the universe, from what we
now understand about space
travel, I no longer buy aliens
visiting earth. It would take us
generations of space travelers
to reach the nearest solar sys-
tem. Then, to look around for


Anything

From Page 2
I know a lot of people would
say it shouldn't matter, and I
agree to an extent. But, I don't
care if you are a civilian at
a company meeting or din-
ner. You still would have to
act appropriately and, yes,
your actions can change the
opinion of others about your
spouse.
So, why chance it? Can't we
just put on under garments
and sit quietly through meet-
ings? Is that too much to ask?
If you have a question, wait
and ask it at the end. Would
that be so hard?
Please, ladies, remember
that your husbands work so
very hard to gain the respect
of their seniors and peers. You


a while and leave without say-
ing anything seems impracti-
cal and pointless.
Of course, something like
worm holes could greatly
accelerate space travel. But I,
and the scientific community
in general, don't understand
enough about them at this
point to know what's exactly
possible.
The Loch Ness Monster
is a discredited hoax, dead
and gone. The Abominable
Snowman has been relegated
to a comedian on beef jerky
commercials.
What's left?
Well, there is the Bermuda
Triangle.
Now I wouldn't sell this
to you as Close Encounters
of the Third Kind did, with
Flight 19 pilots coming back
to earth aboard an alien
space craft. Cool movie, but
baloney. There's an excel-
lent book on the subject, The
Disappearance of Flight 19 by
Larry Kusche, that details the
matter. People get mixed up
and make mistakes every sec-
ond of every day. There's no
great mystery to it.
I don't believe the Bermuda
Triangle has anything to do
with alien abductions.


really need to think before you
speak, and get dressed, so that
you don't become the reason
your husband is discussed the
next day in "the chief's quar-
ters."
Don't be "that wife." Let
your husband's seniors be
talking about him because
of his accomplishments, not
because you had your under-
wear sticking out of the back of
your pants.
And, last, when exiting the
meeting and the CO asks,
"How are you tonight?" do not
reply in a rude and sarcastic
voice, "I'd be better if my hus-
band was home more!"
Yes, that was said.


OS[ hool


But something does go on
out there.
I know.
I've been there.
For those of you unfamiliar
with it, the Bermuda Triangle
is a body of water in the
Atlantic Ocean about the size
of the Gulf of Mexico that's
defined by lines between
Bermuda, Miami and Puerto
Rico. When I was onboard
USS Portland LSD-37 in the
early 1970s, we probably
made three or four round
trips through the Bermuda
Triangle.
We were on a return cruise

Marie at marieangela@mac.com note at pkraackl tds.net.


I found this to be a pretty
reliable piece of equipment.
Suddenly, a big contact came
out of nowhere and painted
about 1,000 yards off our port
side. When it painted for a
second sweep, I called it out
and was on a sound powered
phone handset to the look-
outs. Others in CIC saw this
on different repeaters or over
my shoulder.
On radar, the thing was
huge, the size of a super-
tanker, about twice as big as a
carrier.
"Port lookout, CIC, you see
anything off the port beam,
1,000 yards?"
"CIC, port lookout, nothing."
This was no surface clutter
or a low-flying rain squall.
It painted a third time.
"Port lookout, CIC, are you
sure?"
"CIC, port lookout, yeah,
nothing."
When it painted a fourth
time, I was out of my seat and
headed toward the port rail. It
didn't take me 10 seconds to
get there.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
I went back to CIC.
It was gone off the radar.
This whole incident took
place in less than 90 seconds.


According to our radar, some-
thing big appeared and then
disappeared without anyone
visually spotting it.
It was unexplainable.
This was more than 30 years
ago. I know time can distort
memory. But I remember
this as if it were yesterday. I
e-mailed two of my shipmates
I am still in contact with
and asked them if they were
in CIC that day and could
remember this. One, we'll just
call him The Pig which was
his Navy name because to the
envy of others he put away
prodigious amounts of chow
and gedunk and never gained
a pound, was there.
"I remember that incident,"'
The Pig e-mailed back. "And, I
also remember, it might have
been on another trip to the
Triangle, that all our radar
and navigation equipment
went dead for a few minutes.
Something bizarre always
happened went we ventured
down there."
I wish I could peddle this as
My Encounter with the Flying
Dutchman, but I can't. If it
had been, I believe, we would
have been able to see this
ghost ship but probably not
detect it on radar.


My simplistic explanation
for this, pragmatist that I am,
is that I know radar waves and
electromagnetism are con-
nected. It's my understanding
that magnetic fields from the
north and south poles push
and pull each other through
places like the Bermuda
Triangle, creating electronic
disturbances. It was this and
nothing more.
To borrow from Ebenezer
Scrooge when he encountered
Jacob Marley's ghost in A
Christmas Carol, it may have
been nothing more than a bit
of undigested electromagnetic
beef.
There are cottage industries
that thrive around these sup-
posed mysteries of our time.
Many people have made a
decent living writing books
about flying saucers, ghosts
or the assassination of John F.
Kennedy. Plain and simple, as
Crash Davis said in the movie
Bull Durham, I believe Lee
Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Don't believe it? Read Case
Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald
and the Assassination of FK
by Gerald Posner.
I kinda miss believin'
though. It's part of what made
being a kid so much fun.

SS Constitution's crew visits jaconvi fe


By P03 Anna Kiner
USS Constitution Public Affairs
USS Constitution Sailors
raked the parking lot with
simulated cannon fire
and held crowds at the
Jacksonville Museum of
Science and History at bay
with boarding pike dem-
onstrations from Jan. 31 to
Feb. 1.
When the smoke
finally cleared, they
declared Jacksonville
their prize more than
2,000 visitors joined Old
Ironsides' crewmem-
bers at the MOSH for
USS Constitution's Old
Ironsides Across the
Nation visit to Florida.
Old Ironsides Across the
Nation, is a joint educa-
tional outreach program
between USS Constitution
and the non-profit USS
Constitution Museum, in


which Sailors from Old
Ironsides, stationed in
Charlestown, Mass., travel
to cities across the United
States to give people the
opportunity to learn more
about the ship and its his-
tory.
The president of the USS
Constitution Museum,
Burt Logan, said the objec-
tive of the nine-year-old
program has been to reach
people who cannot travel
to Boston and teach them
about USS Constitution.
"It gives them the
opportunity to learn more
about the heritage both
of the Navy and of USS
Constitution," Logan said.
"Hopefully it will spur
them to learn more even
after they go home ... and
will help them in their
continuing of lifelong
learning."
Old Ironsides' Master


Gun Team drilled on a
5,600 lb. long gun that was
set up on a mock-up sec-
tion of the ship's gun deck.
They also conducted
repel-boarders drills with
boarding pikes, giving
spectators a glimpse of
what it was like to defend
a U.S. Navy warship during
the Age of Sail.
After visitors took their
turn helping them handle
the long gun they could
go inside, handle replica
early 19th century mari-
time artifacts, work with
18th century tools, com-
municate with signal flags,
tie knots and engrave their
names on copper sheets
to be placed on the ship's
underwater hull during
her next major restoration.
The director of edu-
cation at the MOSH,
Christy Turner, felt USS
Constitution's appearance


at the museum was a very
good experience for all
those involved.
"This is such a unique
event it's not like any-
thing we've ever had
before," Turner said. "I
think it's a great experi-
ence for our visitors, and
we do have such a large
naval community, and
I think a lot of people
are excited to get to
learn the history of USS
Constitution."
This was true for two
young visitors, Adam
Zager and Andrew Morely,
who said they had come to
the museum specifically
for Old Ironsides. Both
were fifth grade students
from Hickory Creek
Elementary, where USS
Constitution crewmem-
bers visited during their
excursions to various
schools around the local


area.
USS Constitution
Museum staff members
and Sailors from the ship
visited more than 25 ele-
mentary, middle and high
schools in Florida and
Georgia to give students
a chance to interact with
Sailors and increase their
knowledge of naval history
and heritage. More than
2,500 students and adults
alike had the opportu-
nity to get hands-on with
history through OIAN in
2009.
"This is probably one
of our most successful
years to date," said Cmdr.
William A. Bullard III,
commanding officer of
USS Constitution. "The
feedback from those work-
ing and coordinating with
the schools has been abso-
lutely enthusiastic; also
from the children. They're


loving it."
"The number of stu-
dents we've reached in
the classroom, if not an
all-time high, is close to
the highest number we've
ever reached," said Logan.
"A very good turn out ... I
think all in all it's been a
superb trip."
"It's the best one I've
been on," said Bullard.
"We're reaching many
more people than we did
last year a phenomenal
success."
Since its inception in
2000, Old Ironsides Across
the Nation has visited 24
cities, educating more
than 112,500 people.

Toys for Tots thrived 7


in spite of
By Sharon Foster
American Forces Press Service
Sixteen million new toys
were distributed to 7.6 million
children over the Christmas
holiday through the U.S.
Marine Corps Reserve Toys for
Tots Program.
The program's aim is to
collect new, unwrapped toys
during October, November
and December, and distrib-
ute those toys as Christmas
gifts to children in communi-
ties where campaigns are con-
ducted.
The 2008 campaign took
place in 657 communities in
all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands.
"This was a very success-
ful campaign," retired Marine
Corps Maj. William J. Grein,


economy
vice president of marketing
and development for the Toys
for Tots Foundation, said. "We
were very pleased with the
outcome. We feel we touched
a lot of needy families over the
holidays."
The American people and
the campaign's corporate
sponsors are to be applauded
for their compassion and gen-
erosity during tough economic
times, he said.
"Toy donations were slight-
ly down, but we did see an
increase in cash contribu-
tions," Grein said. "This was
a very interesting year. Our
feelings were, maybe folks
couldn't afford to buy a $20
toy, but still were willing to
make a $10 or $15 donation:'
Despite the economy, the
campaign was successful
because of outstanding efforts

officials said.
"We are dealingwith children
that don't often understand
the result of a bad economy,"
Grein said. "They just can't


rationalize it. All they know, all
they see is Christmas is a time
when Santa comes and when
good things happen. They
want to be a part of that. As a
parent, I would be crushed if I
was not able to give a gift to my
child at Christmas. This pro-
gram brings hope and smiles

Minimizing stress can help control heart disease


By Lt. Elliott Rosenbaum
NHJ Psychology Staff
American Heart Month,
observed throughout February,
is a great time to talk about
the connection between stress
and heart disease.
Dr. Matthew Burg, a cardio-
vascular medicine researcher
at Yale University School of
Medicine, reported in Heart
Book that researchers have
been looking at the connec-
tion between heart disease
and stress for many years and
research supports the link.
The most significant
research was done using peo-
ple with Type A personalities.
Type A people are generally
very punctual, often rushed
and impatient. They are hard
charging and ambitious. They
may even be perceived as
aggressive.
While having a Type A per-
sonality can have benefits like
the ability to multitask and be
hard working, Burg conclud-
ed the research clearly shows
there is a connection between
this personality type and heart
disease. Research shows Type
A individuals have a substan-
tially greater sympathetic
nervous system response to
stressful or demanding cir-
cumstances more stress
hormones, a faster heart rate,


higher blood pressure.
Type A people are also more
likely to perceive events and
circumstances as demanding
and often place themselves in
more demanding situations.
Thus, the negative effects of
increased stress hormones
on the heart and arteries are
greater for these people than
in non-Type A individuals.
Fortunately, like the risks
associated with high blood
cholesterol and blood pres-
sure, those associated with
stress and behavior also can
be modified. In other words,
you can still be a Type A per-
sonality and be less stressed
by following a few simple
techniques such as laughter,
meditation, deep breathing
and regular exercise.
Laugh more. Studies show
that laughter has positive
health benefits, among them
the ability to reduce stress
levels on a hormonal level. It
also helps people gain per-
spective on their situation and
gives them the energy to make
changes, which can have a big
impact on their stress level.
Get more aerobic exercise.
For the greatest overall health
benefits, experts recommend
20 to 30 minutes of aerobic

activity three or more times
a week and some type of
muscle strengthening activity
and stretching at least twice
weekly.
Practice meditation. Med-
itation involves sitting in a
relaxed position and clearing
your mind. Experts recom-
mend focusing on a sound,
like "ooommm," or on your
own breathing, or on nothing
at all. It is best to have at least
five minute of distraction-free
minutes to spend, but more
is better.
Try deep breathing for
two minutes, twice daily.Dr.
Herbert Benson of Harvard
University pointed out the
important part of this exercise
is to adopt a passive attitude,
as if you were merely watch-
ing your breath rise and fall.
Let the air enter through your
mouth, past your chest and
down to your diaphragm. Your
stomach should rise, while
your chest stays still. Take a
breath only when needed.
This will turn on your body's
natural response and help
your muscles relax and lower
your blood pressure and heart
rate.
Work on questioning your
stressful thoughts. Type A per-
sonalities may benefit from
asking themselves, 'Am I plac-

take notice of how black and

Stress in itself is not neces-
sarily a bad thing. It can have
positive effects such as giving
people the ability to do their
best in difficult situations. But
if not handled properly, stress
can be detrimental.
The bottom line is anything
you can do to reduce your
stress level can be a positive
step in the effective prevention

made my job as Commanding
Officer easy, and I will always
be proud to say that I was

Traub even tagged the
crew with the motivational
slogan "Fightin' Florida." He
also gave recognition to the
Florida (Blue) families who
have endured nine months of
separation from their loved
ones in the last year and who
"sacrifice daily for the good of
our country"
"This crew personified the
'Fightin' Florida; Traub said.
"No matter what the job or
mission, this crew always rose
to the occasion and exceeded
my expectations. No single
statement is better suited to
describe this crew. USS Florida
as a SSGN is a ship destined for
greatness, and I feel humbled
and honored to have been a
part of her."
Crites said he looks forward
to the challenges of continuing
to build Florida and her crew
into an even more effective
fighting force and continuing
Florida's reputation of excel-
lence. Traub's next assignment
is Chief of Staff, Commander,

8 THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, February 12, 2009


Caregivers learn to care for themselves


By MC2 Stephanie Tigner
and MC1 Cindy Gill
Naval Medical Center San Diego
Public Affairs
The NavyMedicine Caregiver
Occupational Stress Control
program training team recent-
ly provided stress management
training to approximately 90
Navy medical caregivers from
around the world at the Westin
Hotel, San Diego.
Medical care professionals
business is caring for others.
Often overlooked is care for
caregivers themselves, par-
ticularly those who serve in
intense situations like disas-
ters and battlefields.
Informally known as care
for the caregiver, the training
focused on understanding
occupational and compassion
fatigue, caregiver stress and
burnout. Left unrecognized,
accumulated stressors could
lead to medical errors, job dis-
satisfaction and poor reten-
tion.
"The goal is that we have 80
to 90 people that have some
new skills and some new
training, and the training will
provide them a new insight
into work that they can do
in their own command and
support that they can provide
to others," said Rear Adm.
Karen Flaherty, Deputy Chief,
Wounded, Ill and Injured.
"Part of that is making sure


that there is a self awareness
of your own health, that there
are things that you can do per-
sonally to improve your over-
all health and as a result the
support we can provide to the
wounded is better."
The Caregiver OSC program
focuses on three fundamental
principles: early recognition,
peer intervention and connec-
tion with services as needed,
said Capt. Richard Westphal,
mental health clinical spe-
cialist at the Navy's Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery in
Washington D.C., and design-
er of the caregiver program.
"This is tied to the
Commandant of the Marine
Corps, the Chief of Naval
Operations and the Secretary
of the Navy's initiatives to
do what is right for all of our
Sailors and Marines, and part
of what we're doing is figur-
ing out how to do right by our
caregivers," Westphal said.
Topics covered during the
conference included buddy
care assessment and inter-
vention, self care, compassion
fatigue skills and work envi-
ronment assessment.
Several tools presented by
Westphal include after action
reviews, combat and opera-
tional stress first aid, self
modulation skills, core leader
functions, a stress injury deci-
sion matrix and OSCAR com-
munication.


OSCAR communication
consists of Observing behav-
iors, Stating the observations,
Clarifying role and your con-
cern about the behavior, Ask
why to seek clarification of the
behaviors and Respond with
guided options.
After action review is a tool
for small groups led at the unit
level following a significant
event.
The reviews are for caregiv-
ers to understand what hap-
pened and why, anticipate and
address problems particularly
loss of confidence and exces-
sive self-blame or over-confi-
dence.
Combat and operational
stress first aid is similar to basic
life support in that it combines
assessment and getting help
with effective actions.
The seven Cs for helping a
shipmate check, coordinate,
cover, calm, connect, compe-
tence, and confidence.
Check look, listen, assess.
Coordinate get help, refer
as needed.
Cover quickly get to phys-
ical or emotional safety.
Calm slow deep breaths,
slow heart rate, begin to relax.
Connect get support from
others.
Competence restore
effectiveness.
Confidence restore trust
in self, others, and mission.
The operational stress con-


trol decision matrix is a flow
chart with "yes" and "no"
directions to help guide lead-
ers and peers to assessing the
potential severity of a Sailor's
stress levels.
The four color chart begins
with green for ready followed
by a yellow zone as a flag for
someone reacting. Upper
zones are orange for injured
followed by red to indicate
medical intervention.
"We must interrupt the
cycle of stress as early as pos-
sible," said Westphal. "If we do
that for our shipmates then
the need for high-end mental
health services is reduced, we
get a reduction in non-judicial
punishments and a reduction
in destructive behavior."
Westphal said he has had
tremendous positive feedback
from participants of the train-
ing.
"It's very helpful and I really
appreciate this training;'," said
Chief Hospital Corpsman
Straussi Mumford of Naval
Hospital Camp Lejeune in
North Carolina. "This is infor-
mation that I can take back to
my command to help out."
Westphal and the rest of the
Caregiver OSC program team
members intend to follow up
with each of the commands'
represented at the conference
within the next six to eight
months to conduct training for
all personnel.

What was your most memorable Valentine's Day?


W th Valentine's Day around the corner, I took time to
reflect on my most memorable Valentine's Day.
I have a few Valentines Day moments I'll never forget.
There were some special ones, whether it was a secret admirer in
kindergarten, the look on my wife's face when I got her flowers


or jewelry or the look on my daughter's face when she received
a candy with endearing terms on them.
But my most memorable Feb. 14 was in 2003 while stationed
on an aircraft carrier. We went underway on Jan. 13, with the
hopes of returning on Valentines Day. But, that didn't happen.


We got word on Valentine's Day that we were now deployed until
Sept. 13.
So, it isn't the happiest Valentine's Day story, but it is the most
memorable.
Here are some others most memorable Valentine's Days.

that day it was one of the me on that day. It is a

The Submariner

Only a submariner realizes to what extent an entire ship depends
on him as an individual. To a landsman this is not
understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to
comprehend, but it is so'

A submarine at sea is a different world in herself and in
consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the
submarines, the Navy must place responsibility and trust in the
hands of those who take such ships to sea.

In each submarine there are men who, in the hour of emergency or
peril at sea, can turn to each other. These men are ultimately
responsible to themselves and each other for all aspects of
operation.

This is perhaps the most difficult and demanding assignment in the
Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as a submariner that
he can escape the grasp of responsibility. His privileges, in view
of his obligations, are most ludicrously small: nevertheless it is the
spur, which has given the Navy its greatest mariners the men of
the Submarine Service.

It is a duty, which most richly deserves the proud and time-
honored title of..

MCPON speaks for Sailors


By MCSC (SW/AW) Bill
Houlihan
Master Chief Petty Officer of the
Navy Public Affairs

Master Chief Petty Officer of
the Navy (SS/SW) Rick West
testified before Congress Feb.
4, in his first appearance before
the House Appropriations
Subcommittee on Military
Construction, Veterans Affairs
and Related Agencies.
The committee oversees all
military construction projects,
quality of life and veterans
affairs-related matters.
West appeared with the
other senior enlisted lead-
ers from the Marines, Army
and Air Force in the two-hour
hearing, discussing the tone
of the force, family readiness
and other major quality of life
issues.
"On December 12th, the
day I took this job I told our
men and women that noth-
ing would be more important
to me than providing them
avenues to succeed as Sailors
and as Americans," West said.
"I view this time with you as
an unparalleled opportunity
to speak on their behalf and
uphold the promise I made to
them."
West discussed some of the
non-traditional taskings the
Navy has grown accustomed
to over the last several years,
but made a point to remind
the subcommittee members of
the service's traditional mari-
time responsibilities.
"More than 75,000 active
duty and Reserve Sailors have
taken the fight to the enemy as
individual augmentees. Triple
that number man our ships at
sea operating on and below
the oceans, in the air or boots
on ground as we prosecute the
global war on terror," he said.
West referenced recent vis-
its to Department of Veterans
Affairs hospitals and Navy
medical centers when he
discussed the obligation to
Sailors wounded in battle. He
said that the sacrifices they've
made are recognized by the
country they sacrificed so
much to protect, and that the
dedication to them and their
families must never fade.
"As some of these Sailors
return to their families, they
present us with a serious
national responsibility," West
said. "As a Navy, and through


Admirals

tinually improving the sup-
port and care we provide our
wounded warriors. Our com-
mitment to those heroes and
their families will never waiv-

Other issues brought before
the congressional subcom-
mittee included the Navy's
Homeport Ashore program,
which takes Sailors off of ships
and into bachelor quarters
ashore. West said that of all the
items on his radar right now,
Homeport Ashore is one of the
most important. He said that
despite consistent progress,


just under 10,000 Sailors still
live on board ships and that
number needs to decrease.
The Master Chief Petty
Officer of the Navy usually tes-
tifies annually before Congress
along with the senior enlisted
leaders of the other services.
This was his first appearance
before the congressional com-
mittee.

Are you a renter? Have you
ever taken an inventory of all
the items in your home and
determined what it would cost
to replace them?
According to www.state-
farm.com, the average two-
bedroom home contains more
than $20,000 in personal prop-
erty. This amount accounts for
the obvious appliances, such
as televisions and computers,
all the way down to the small-
er items we take for granted,
like pots and pans. Having an
itemized list of your posses-
sions, including their value
and serial numbers, is a good
idea.
An even better idea is having
renters insurance.
Renters insurance is like
any other insurance in that it
protects a renter in the event
of property loss caused by
fire, theft or a natural disas-
ter. While car insurance is
a legal necessity for anyone
who operates an automobile,
renters insurance is a practi-
cal necessity for anyone who
rents their living quarters. This
type of insurance covers your
goods while in your home and
often extends to while your
goods are in transit.
Despite the essential need
for this type of security, many
renters don't purchase cover-


age because they fall victim to
three myths.
First, it is assumed by many
renters that they don't need
renters insurance because
their landlord has them cov-
ered. This is an inaccurate
assumption. Though most
landlords do have insurance,
the coverage usually only
extends to the building and
any structural damage caused
to the building by a storm or
other natural disasters. For the
landlord, this type of coverage
is adequate. For the renter, this
is insufficient. For instance, in
the event of a flood, fire or
storm, the renter, not the land-
lord, would be responsible for
the replacement cost of all
damaged household posses-
sions.
Another inaccuracy associ-
ated with renters insurance
is that coverage is too costly.
This couldn't be further from
the truth.
While your monthly pay-
ments will differ based on
the amount of coverage you
purchase, agencies like USAA
and GEICO offer policies for
personal property starting
as low as $6 a month. This
means that you could use one
week's worth of Coke money

Mullen cites need for 'whole government' approach


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

All portions of the U.S. gov-
ernment have a role in dealing
with any instability that results
from the world's financial cri-
sis, the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff said here yes-
terday.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen
gave a public talk sponsored
by Princeton University and
its Woodrow Wilson School
of Public and International
Affairs, visited with the col-
lege's ROTC detachment and
participated in a roundtable
discussion with the faculty.
In his remarks, the chair-
man expressed concern about
the militarization of U.S. for-
eign policy.
"What is overarching is the
global financial crisis;'," Mullen
said. "I worry a great deal as
we work our way through this
- and I think it's going to take
longer rather than shorter
to do that. I worry about the
effect that will have on insta-
bility throughout the world."
The chairman said that
throughout history, the United
States hasn't been good about
predicting where instability

at Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.


will occur.
"As this crisis really takes
hold, there will be places that
become unstable that we
haven't anticipated," he said.
"We need a whole-of-govern-
ment approach."


The United States military is
a force for freedom and good
in the world, Mullen said, but
it's not the solution to every
problem. "The United States
military is necessary, but it is
not sufficient alone," Mullen


said. He pointed out that the
American military is stretched
and is doing missions that ser-
vicemembers have not been
trained to do.
"They are an incredible
group of young people who are


incredibly adaptive and cre-
ative and innovative, and they
do this unbelievably well;'," he
said. "But we need to back off
of that over time."'
Other Cabinet-level depart-
ments State, Treasury,
Commerce, Justice have
the proper expertise for "soft-
power" missions and need to
have personnel able to deploy to
address these problems, Mullen
said. "But in my opinion," he
added, "we are a good decade
away from creating a capability
in our other departments."
For example, he said,
employees in the Agriculture
Department do not expect to
deploy to Afghanistan. "So I've
got soldiers in the [National]
Guardwho are farmers in Texas
and Missouri and Iowa, and
they are going to Afghanistan
to work on agriculture because
it is what we need, because
that's the economic base of
the country," he said.
In a later interview, the
chairman used Iraq as an
example. One of the lessons
of that conflict, he said, has
been the multiplying effect
that State Department officials
serving at joint security sta-
tions have had on the situa-


tion. State officials are experts
in governance and negotiation
in a way that military person-
nel are not, the admiral said,
yet in the first call for civil-
ian volunteers to serve in Iraq,
"half of them were from the
Department of Defense, which
is another extension of the
military, and these are people
who are available and accept
orders and go do it."
Mullen said the govern-
ment must work to gener-
ate the necessary capacity to
bring soft-power expertise into
implementation of U.S. for-
eign policy. "And we're going
to need it right now," he said.
"The president, the leaders of
agencies, everybody has to be
committed to generating this
capacity down through the
agencies."
Mullen told the Princeton
audience that there are plenty
of places to serve, and that the
world needs the expertise and
commitment of Americans.
"In my view, it is at the base
of who we are when we are
in trouble, to be able to rise up
and serve and make a differ-
ence,' he said. "You can serve
in our own country or globally,
but you are needed."


Joint chiefs chair puts priority on 'taking care of our own'


By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service

As the nation enters its
eighth year of war, the mili-
tary's highest-ranking officer
says he is concerned about
the health of the armed forces.
He wants to ensure the coun-
try takes care of its men and
women in uniform.
"We are asking an extraordi-
nary amount from them, and
they are giving it in ways that
are so, so very special;'," Adm.
Mike Mullen, 17th chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
Feb. 2 at Grove City College,
Pa., delivering the 2008-2009
Pew Memorial Lecture.
"We have asked our young
men and women to deploy in
ways they never could have
imagined active duty,
reserve and Guard and
they have stood up to the
challenge," he said. Yet mul-
tiple deployments of 12 to 15
months, he noted, have taken
a toll on servicemembers and
their families.
"I was with 500 soldiers not
too long ago, many of whom
had just gotten back from Iraq,
and I asked them how many
deployments they had been
on," Mullen said. "Forty to 50
percent of the soldiers in the


room at an all-hands call had
just completed their fourth
deployment. That is not much
time at home; that is not much
time raising kids; that is not
much time just taking a break."
The chairman said he finds
the force "incredibly resilient,
and at the same time, very
pressed."
"We need to pay attention
to the entirety of our people
and their families and the pro-
grams which support them in
order to make sure that they
are well-positioned for the
future," Mullen said. The total-
ity of that support, he said, will
determine whether or not they
remain in the military.
Life-long support is espe-
cially important for wounded
servicemembers, their fami-
lies, and the families of those
who have made the ultimate
sacrifice. "We are a wealthy
enough country, even in these
financially difficult times, to
make sure they are taken care
of and their needs are met
for the rest of their lives," he
said, drawing applause from
the estimated 700 Grove City
College students and guests.
The chairman said a com-
munity-based approach
is needed to provide sup-
port, because the Defense


Department and the Veterans
Affairs Department can't do it
all. "It's really DoD, the VA and
literally communities through-
out the country reaching out
and touching these people
to make sure their needs are
met," he said.
Mullen pointed out that
the Army's suicide rate now
exceeds the national norm. He
said suicide is a huge chal-
lenge that military leaders are
focused on to find near-term
and long-term solutions.
"Part of it has got to be the
pressure of these constant
deployments into combat,
where young individuals ...
whose lives change forever see
things and do things they had
never imagined;'," the chairman
said. "We have got to be able to
support those individuals in
ways that, in some cases, we
haven't quite figured out yet."
In a speech at the Reserve
Officers Association earlier in
the day, Mullen said there is a
need to double the amount of
"dwell time," or time a service-
member spends at home.
"Right now, for the most
part on the active side, you're
home about as long as you've
been deployed;'," he said. "We
have the goal on the reserve
and Guard sides to be one


year out, five years back. We're
clearly not there."
Identifying troops suffering
from post-traumatic stress is
another challenge facing the
military, Mullen said.
"I've been told by enough
by young soldiers, sailors, air-
men and Marines that they
just check the block and move
through [the health assess-
ment], because they know if
they check the wrong block,
they're not going to be able to
go home," the chairman told
the reserve officers.
He said the stigma associat-
ed with post-traumatic stress
till is significant, and military
leaders need to work to elimi-
nate people's unwillingness to
seek help. They have to figure
out a way to get every person
to go through a meaningful
assessment for post-traumatic
stress disorder, Mullen said.
For example, he said, sol-
diers coming back from a hor-
rendous combat tour get out
and fly home. They've been
through hell. Things have
affected them in ways that they
can't even see. They've seen
buddies die, and they have
the nightmares that go with it.
Now, the structure the military
provided is gone. They may or
may not have family there to


support them. They're alone.
"Right now, we only track
individuals for 120 days when
they get out," Mullen said.
"We've got to have a track-
ing system that stays in touch
with individuals so they know
where the life lines are. It needs
to be transparent and seam-
less so that we make sure we
can support individuals who
have sacrificed so much."'


While the military has come
a long way and understands
post-traumatic stress better
than a few years ago, he said,
there's still a long way to go.
"I am 100 percent convinced
that no matter what happens,
if we get it right for our peo-
ple and our families, we'll be
able to continue to sustain and
develop a military second to
none," he said.

Admiral to head


review of Gitmo


By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service

Defense Secretary Robert
M. Gates has selected a Navy
four-star admiral to lead an
assessment of operations at
the U.S. detention center at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a
senior Defense Department
official said here last week.
Adm. Patrick M. Walsh, the
vice chief of Naval Operations,
will head the review, Pentagon
Press Secretary Geoff Morrell
told reporters.
The White House has
tasked the Pentagon to assess
the detention operations at
Guantanamo Bay as part of
President Barack Obama's
decision to close the facility,
Morrell said.
Obama issued an executive
order Jan. 22 that directs the
closure of the Guantanamo
detention center within a year.
Obama signed another execu-
tive order that day directing
the stand-up of a special inter-
agency task force that will

month. Paying a few dollars
each month is better than a
few hundred or thousands in
the event of loss.
The final assumption made
by many is that they don't need
renters insurance because
their property has little to no
value. This is certainly not the
case.

study the future disposition of
present Guantanamo detain-
ees who cannot be transferred
to other countries and who
pose a serious danger to the
United States.
Another presidential exec-
utive order issued Jan. 22
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
at the signing ceremony. The
directive, Obama added, high-
lights the importance for the
United States to comply with
the Geneva Conventions.
The Walsh-led apprais-
al of detainee operations at
Guantanamo "is a subset of
the executive orders that the
president signed a couple of
weeks ago," Morrell said.
The admiral's review of
Guantanamo's detention
operations is to be completed
within 30 days, Morrell said.


Even accounting for basic
items such as televisions,
clothing and furniture, the pur-
chase of renters insurance is
warranted. It's worth the time
and effort to contact various
insurance carriers and shop
around for the best coverages,
premiums and discounts for
bundling policies.

Unmanned vehicles changing warfare

Unmanned vehicles, especially a new
generation of highly technical machines,
are proving themselves in hostile environ-

ed Feb. 4.
Remotely controlled aerial, surface and
underwater unmanned vehicles, which
reduce risk to Sailors and other operators,
are part of the Navy's arsenal and "con-
tinue to prove themselves in the Middle
East;'," said Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet,
Adm. Robert F. Willard. "We're witness-

rate concerns Marine leaders


By Sgt. Danielle M. Bacon
(compilation)
Marine Corps Base Quantico
In 2008 the Marine Corps
endured the highest toll of sui-
cides in more than a decade.
The initial count is 41 sui-
cides and almost 150 attempts,
according to the preliminary
suicide report released by
Manpower and Reserve Affairs
on Jan. 26. This represents
a preliminary rate of 19 per
100,000, compared to 16.5 per
100,000 in 2007.
The calculations for 2008
suggest it will be the first in
which the Corps' suicide rate
will resemble the civilian rate
when adjusted for the demo-
graphics of the Marine Corps,
according to a press release
by Maj. Shawn Haney, public
affairs officer for M&RA.
"The loss of any individu-
al Marine is a tragedy both
for the family and for our
Corps," said Cmdr. Aaron
Werbel, behavioral health
affairs officer, Personal and
Family Readiness Division in
a statement. "We are actively
engaged in prevention mea-
sures and early identification
of problems that may increase
the risk of suicide. Leaders at
all levels are concerned about
the increase in the number of
suicides.":'
Thirty of the suicides were
committed by Marines under
the age of 25.
The Corps is known as the
youngest service, with 62 per-


cent of its ranks comprised of
Marines under the age of 25,
compared to the Navy at 41
percent for this demographic,
according to the report.
Although deployments are
on the rise for all Marines, sta-
tistics do not show a relation
to the number of deaths attrib-
uted to combat stress.
"Sixty-eight percent (21) of
the CY2008 suicides had a his-
tory of one or more deploy-
ments in support of Operations
Iraqi and Enduring Freedom,
while 69 percent of the total
current active Marine popula-
tion had a history of deploy-
ment," said Haney. "However,
the proportion of Marines to
die by suicide with a deploy-
ment history has increased
over the last two years, so
investigations to study a possi-
ble relationship are ongoing."
In November 2008, the 20th
Marine Corps Executive Safety
Board reviewed the suicide
awareness and prevention
program and directed four
new initiatives for CY 2009:
MA mandatory, high-impact,
culturally relevant half-day
leadership training program
focused on suicide prevention
for non-commissioned offi-
cers and Fleet Marine Force
petty officers, to reduce stigma
and provide them the tools to
identify and assist Marines at-
risk for suicide.

THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, February 12, 2009 17


Retired Marine paved way for today


's


Leathernecks


By Lance Cpl. Shannon E.
McMillan
Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
The best things in life are
not always planned.
Retired Sgt. Maj. Eleanor L.
Judge is a strong believer of
this and carries the saying with
her when she talks about her
career in the Marine Corps.
"I can't see my life spent any
differently," said Judge, who
currently resides in Oceanside,
Calif.
Looking back on her exten-
sive career in the Corps,
she said she cherishes the
moments when she was a drill
instructor, stationed in Italy
and sergeant major of Women
Marine Recruit Training.
While serving her last year
and looking into retiring after
31 years of service, Judge
served as the sergeant major
of MCB Camp Pendleton in
1980. This feat made her the
first female Marine to be post-
ed to the position and take
charge of a base.
Judge began her career at a
young age. She was not plan-
ning for her future when she
began her career at the age of
20. She explained what struck
her interest to join the Marine
Corps.
"I remember my friends and
I were asked to go to a ball
with a few guys we knew who
were Marines;'," she said. "We
had a great time, and we were
instantly hooked."
She enlisted into the Marine
Corps Women Reserves in 1949
and stayed in her hometown
of Cambridge, Mass. She was


assigned to the 2nd Infantry
Battalion, as an administra-
tion clerk, where she fulfilled
her training once a month and
received her monthly check
of $10.
"What most Marines of the
(current) era do not know
is that I never went to boot
camp," she said. "I was in a
reserve unit, and we trained so
much and went through all the
classes, they decided it was not
necessary for a lot of us to go."
Judge received a letter in
the mail, several months after
enlisting, ordering her to acti-
vate in the reserves. She only
had two weeks to situate her life
and report to her duty station.
In 1953, after three years
of duty at Marine Corps Base
Camp Lejeune, Judge was given
orders to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
She said she enjoyed her time
overseas and did not mind the
extra $17 that was added to her
pay.
"I remember spending my
first Christmas Eve in Hawaii
at the airport," she said. "We
went to the airport to watch
the planes leave, knowing we
were not going home."
She said watching the planes
leave the airport brought tears
to her and her friends' eyes.
Judge and the other Marines
stationed at Pearl Harbor were
not allowed to go home on
leave unless they were re-
enlisting or deploying.
After serving at a few more
duty stations, Judge received
orders to become a recruiter in
Pittsburgh, Pa.
The duty of being a woman
recruiter in the Pennsylvania

Retired Sgt. Maj. Eleanor L. Judge, recently celebrated her 80th birthday with friends and family.


district was not her favorite.
"I did not like being a recruit-
er, because I did not like being
around people that much;'," she
said. "I missed being around
Marines."
Because of her hard work
and dedication, Judge then
received orders to Naples,
Italy.
"The two years I spent there
were marvelous," she said. "I
got to see a countrythat would
have never seen if it were not
for the Marine Corps."
While stationed in Italy, she
was able to tour the majority
of Europe during her liberty.
Some of her best memories


took place in Italy, but she has
not returned since she left for
her next duty station at Parris
Island, S.C.
She will always remem-
ber being stationed on Parris
Island as a drill instructor at
WMRT. It was her favorite duty
because she was able to train
females to become Marines
and see the transition that
many do not have the oppor-
tunity to see.
"It was graduation day and
a platoon was already dressed
and in formation;' she said. "A
mother was not even able to
recognize her own daughter,
until I pointed her out."


It was as rewarding for her to
see her recruits transform into
Marines as it was for Judge to
train future Marines.
"I remember when I would
count down the clock to call
reveille (for the recruits),"
Judge said. "Once it was time,
we would wake them up by
playing the Marine Corps
hymn."
She added it was enjoyable
to see the recruits jump out
of their racks and stand at
attention. It was amusing to
see the disorientation of the
recruits because of how they
were woken up and how they
squirmed at attention.


Judge enjoyed her life as
she fulfilled her duties during
her career, choosing to never
marry or have kids but rather
be married to the Corps.
Judge recently celebrated
her 80th birthday with friends,
family members and Marines
from across the United States.
"It has taken me three weeks
to celebrate my birthday and
I've truly enjoyed it," she said.
She remembers her 50th
birthday, which she celebrated
with Marines in Okinawa.
"I didn't even know there
was a party until the Marines
surprised me with one," she
said. "I didn't feel 50 either."
Friends, family and Marines
showed the same gratitude by
coming together in California
from across the states to show
how she has touched them in
a caring way.
"Eleanor deserves all the
praise she gets'," said Marge
Olerich, friend of Judge since
1989. "She is generous with
her time and helps those who
are in need. She is there for
you."
Olerich applauded Judge
for her accomplishments and
wished her more fulfilling
years in a card that was given
to Judge during her birthday
party, Jan. 11.
Olerich said those who have
been led by Judge and know
her personally are fortunate
because she has provided
guidance and enriched their
lives.
"Even though it was not
planned, I enjoyed (my career)
and it was ... a time well spent
for my life," Judge said.
