USS Alaska (SSBN 732) arrives at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, April 1. The submarine got underway March 11 to conduct
training exercises and transit to their new homeport. Alaska had been homeported at NSB Bangor, Wash, for the last 20 years,
but following a 26 month refueling overhaul at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Alaska was reassigned to Kings Bay. The addition of
Alaska increases the number of fleet ballistic missile submarines at Kings Bay to six.



Alaska arrives at Kings Bay


Soggy skies can't

dampen happy

arrival, reunions
By MC3 Eric Tretter
Periscope Staff
The first of April marked the long antici-
pated arrival of Naval Submarine Base
Kings Bay's newest ballistic missile sub-
marine, the USS Alaska (SSBN-732).
Sprinkles, showers and an occasional
downpour did little to dampen the spirits
as family members awaited Kings Bay's
newest sailors. The overcast, dreary skies
drove home the sentiment that Alaska had
brought the weather of its former home-
port, Bangor, Wash., with it to Southeast


Georgia.
Anxiously awaiting friends and family
headed off the Alaska by meeting at Fort
Clinch State Park in Fernandina Beach,
Fla. There, standing atop the walls of the
1840s-era structure, they caught the first
glimpse of Alaska as she neared her new
home, passing the mouth of the St. Marys
River on the way to Kings Bay.
"My feet are really wet, and it's cold, but
I think it was totally worth it. I miss my
husband," said Chelsea Merceri of spouse
MT3 Christopher Merceri. "My house will
become a home once he gets here."
Once moored at Refit Wharf 2 on Kings
Bay's waterfront, it was business as usual.
Sailors unloaded supplies, trash and
recyclables, while the migrated Ft. Clinch
crowd greeted small groups of Alaska
sailors who trickled ashore as they were
relieved or released from duties.


"It's almost beyond words," said
Commanding Officer of Alaska, Cmdr.
Paul Haebler, upon finally arriving at
Kings Bay. "Most of these guys have their
families here already."
The journey to Kings Bay involved 26
months in Norfolk, Va., for refueling over-
haul. Many spouses have had some time
to situate themselves to the area, finding
homes and jobs, while others arrived only
days before their husbands.
When ETCM Eric McAllister was
offered Chief of Boat on the Alaska, the
submarine already had been scheduled
to be stationed at Kings Bay. It was a
great opportunity he took advantage of,
because McAllister's family had been liv-
ing in Camden County since 1994.
"It feels great," McAllister said. "I wish
the weather would have held out for us.
Nonetheless, it's great to be here."

Relief society drive under way


By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff
In tough economic times
even the most frugal people
may need help. The Navy
Marine Corps Relief Society
provides that help to many
Navy and Marine families in
need.


April 1 started the society's
annual fund-raising campaign.
The goal is to raise $85,000 by
the end of this month.
Money raised allows
NMCRS to provide financial
help, education and other
assistance to the Navy and
Marine Corps personnel and
their eligible family members.


In 2008, NMCRS Kings Bay
raised $85,000 and disbursed
$315,000.
"Financial education is very
important to us," said Gail Tate,
NMCRS Kings Bay director.
"We don't just write checks.

Secretary-General
denounces April 4
launch into Pacific

By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
The United Nations's top
official denounced April 4's
missile launch by North Korea,
according to a news release
issued by the UN April 5.
"Given the volatility in the
region, as well as a stale-
mate in interaction among
the concerned parties, such
a launch is not conducive to
efforts to promote dialogue,
regional peace or stability,"
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-
moon said in a statement.
The secretary general cited
the North Korean missile
launch as a violation of UN
Security Council Resolution
1718, which prohibits North
Korea from making such
launches or conducting nucle-
ar-weapons research. Some
observers believe that North
Korea had already tested a
nuclear-type weapon in 2006.
The UN was scheduled to
meet in emergency session
Sunday afternoon to discuss
the North Korea missile-
launch issue.
In his statement issued
Sunday, UN Secretary-General


Ban Ki-moon
said it is
imperative
to persuade
North Korea to
re-engage in
the Six-Party
discussions.
All coun-
tries involved Ban
in the negotia-
tions, including North Korea,
the UN Secretary-General stat-
ed, should "focus on ways to
build confidence and restore
dialogue, including the early
resumption of the Six-Party
Talks."
Saturday evening, the North
Koreans launched a three-
stage missile that failed to
achieve orbit and fell into the
Pacific O ceanwithout incident,
according to the U.S. military.
The North Korean Taepodong
2 missile had passed over Japan
but jettisoned no debris there,
according to a U.S. Northern
Command news release.
The missile's flight path
had presented no threat to
North America or Hawaii, the
Northcom release stated.
The missile's first stage fell
into the Sea of Japan; the rest
of the stages and the payload,
reportedly a communica-
tions satellite, landed in the

It really does matter how you play the game


How often have you
heard, it's not that
you win, but it's how
you play the game. Here is an
amazing story that bears this
statement out so well.
With two runners on base
and a strike against her, Sara
Tucholsky of Western Oregon
University uncorked her best
swing and did something she
had never done. She hit her
first home run over the center
field fence. In her excitement,
she missed first base. As Sara
started back to tag it, she col-
lapsed with a knee injury.
She crawled back to first but
could do no more. She would
be called out if her teammates
tried to help or a pinch run-


ner could be called in, and
the homer would count as a
single.
The Central Washington


team asked the umpire if
there was a rule against the
opposing team carrying her.
The answer was no. They in
fact could do it since no rule
prohibited a runner being
carried by the opposing team.
Two members of the
Central Washington
University softball team
stunned spectators by car-
rying Tucholsky around the
bases so the three-run homer
would count, an act that con-
tributed to their own elimina-
tion from the playoffs.
Whether on the game field
or the field of life, success is
not measured by meeting our
goals but rather how we play
the game. Did we work hard?


Were we patient? Do we have
a willingness to accept tem-
porary failure? Did we take
short cuts at the expense of
others? Were we fair and just
in our dealing with others?
Do we meet each day with the
courage to do the right thing
the honor to say the truth and
the commitment to stay the
course regardless of the cir-
cumstances?
In the days to come, those
who attended the game will
have long forgotten the home
run she hit that day. But they
will remember the sacrifice of
the opposing team, a sacrifice
which led to a big loss but one
which won the hearts all who
were there.


How can you forget Easter? Well, I did once


Holidays are important
days, meant to be
shared with friends
and family. But for Military
families, that can be a little
different. I would love to tell
you that I have kept all my
family traditions and that my
children will want to mimic
my creative and resourceful
ways, but, really, I think they
will far surpass my sometimes
panicked attempts to rescue
what should be a holiday.
My first and most desper-
ate attempt at saving a holi-
day was when I forgot it was
Easter. This, for the love of
God, will never be repeated to
my beloved Roman Catholic
grandmother whom I am
named after. There are not
enough candles in church
that she could light for me.
See, my husband and I were
newly married, and he was
attending a school. He left
every morning at 4:30 a.m.
and returned home at 11:30
p.m. Our son was three and
home with me. We didn't
have any other friends with
children, and our son was not
in school or day care, so there
were not any cute bunny
pictures brought home or
brightly colored Easter eggs. I
wasn't working due to the fact
that I was nine months preg-
nant with our daughter, who


S S






was approaching her second
week of being late past her
due date.
And, I hadn't been to
church in weeks. There is
absolutely no excuse in my
grandmother's eyes to miss
Mass. But, frankly, I wasn't
feeling that great due to my
stubborn daughter who just
didn't want to come out. So,
with all my excuses aside, I
forgot Easter.
I woke up to find my hus-
band home and in bed next
to me, which startled me. I
thought he had over slept due
to his crazy hours on shift
work, and as I frantically woke
him, he looked at me like I
was crazy. When I asked what
he was doing there, he calmly
replies, "Ummm ... it's Easter,
and I didn't have duty so I'm


off today"'
Most wives in my position
would be thrilled since he was
never home.
Not I. My reply was one that
cannot be printed. Not only
did we miss going to church,
I didn't have any candy or
eggs! I ran wait, who are we
kidding, I waddled as fast
as I could to the kitchen to
find 10 eggs in the fridge. Our
son was now up on the couch
watching an Easter parade
saying, "Happy Easter!" and
"The Easter Bunny is com-
ing!" Oh no, I thought to
myself. I am the worst mother
ever.
My husband went out and
bought our son a blue bunny,
but there wasn't any food col-
oring for eggs to be found! Of
course there wasn't. Sigh. We
dug out his Easter basket that
was holding Hot Wheels cars
in his closet. I boiled the eggs
and decided to color them
with permanent markers. This
was before sharpies came in
all the cool colors. I had black,
red and blue. I drew squiggly
lines and tiny pictures on the
eggs. They looked horrible.
Somehow, when it was
all said and done, our son
dragged around a cute bunny
and excitedly hunted for the
eggs that left my hands cov-
ered in permanent marker. To


this day, I color at least four
dozen eggs for the kids to find
every Easter. Some might say
it's a mother's guilt, but I saw
how happy my little boy was
at 3 with 10 white eggs that
had crazy smudged pictures,
and I just want to see it again
and again.
My son doesn't remember
that Easter, but I will never
forget it. I still think of Easter
eggs every time I'm using a
Sharpie marker.
Try to remember that holi-
days can be different and still
be good. I've fixed four course
meals for 20 and then the next
year did the same for just the
kids and I. Take advantage
of the events held on base
and through local churches.
It can make the holiday load
a little easier. And, most
importantly, enjoy the time
you get, whether you are with
friends, your entire extended
family or just your children.
Through many of my experi-
ences, I have learned that kids
won't remember the toys, the
mishaps or how many eggs
they found at Easter, but they
will remember that they were
loved.
I wish you all a very happy
and blessed Easter!

Visitors say thanks
Dear Periscope,
My husband and I are winter
visitors to Kings Bay. With the
completion of our stay here
on March 14th we conclud-
ed our third stay at the Naval
Submarine Base RV Park. This
year was our longest stays
as my husband had several
medical appointments in the
area. This provided us a great-
er opportunity to be a part
of Navy Sub Base Community
and to enjoy the wonderful
people that make up that com-
munity. There are several that
stand out in our thoughts and
so many more that we are
unable to name them all here.
The Military Community is
particularly blessed to have as
its ChiefChaplain Commander
Aaron Jefferson. We were for-
tunate to have sat under his
teaching both in Chapel on
Sunday mornings and a Bible
Study that he conducted on
Wednesdaynights. Both he and
Mrs. Jefferson are dedicated to
bringing the military families
and single people to the Lord.
I was particularly excited with
their plans to have a Vacation
Bible School this year. There
is a great need in our coun-


try today for young people of
all ages to be involved with
the events of Vacation Bible
School.
There are so many activities
available to persons visiting
this base. Just to mention one,
the Fitness Center is one of the
most complete and modern
facilities. One of their train-
ers, Heather, is exceptionally
patient and very professional.
She took the time to point out
the ins and outs of the equip-
ment available to us.
The military policemen
and women were always
friendly and helpful to us.
Unfortunately we do not have
all their names. One young
woman in particular took us
under her wing and shared
with us all kinds of informa-
tion about the area while we
were crab fishing. Another
showed us pictures he had
taken of rattlesnakes, eagles,
ospreys, etc.
Because of our extended
stay we were able to obtain
a Post Office box. The ladies
who maintain this operation
were very good to us, more
than their job required.
Of course I can't close this
without mentioning the Eagle
Hammock RV Park. The park's


manager, Charlie, does an
outstanding job of making the
residents as comfortable as if
they were in their own home in
their own hometown (maybe
more so!). There were volun-
teer hosts who ran activities
as well as assisting Charlie in
this operation and they made
it a point of making our time
enjoyable. A very special per-
son, neighbor to us in the RV
Park, Duke, worked harder
than anyone I know of today
to keep the property looking
the best ever!
I feel we were fortunate to
have been guests of the Navy
Base this winter and although
I haven't mentioned everyone
who treated us special I hope
that someone will. It is well
deserved.
I know that the military
operation is concerned with
more serious matters than its
winter visitors. We are very
appreciative of the sacrifice
these young men and women
make for the lives of the people
of the United States. We know
too that Chaplain Jefferson is
burdened more for those lives
than he can let us know. It is
with that appreciation that we
wish to thank all of the men
and women of Kings Bay Naval


Submarine Base for making
our time safe and comfort-
able.
Sincerely,
Curtiss and Martha Paye
Cleveland, N.Y.

Liked story
Periscope Staff,
I enjoyed MC3 Tretter's
article about life onboard a
submarine, particularly,
onboard the USS Maryland.
Almost twenty years ago, my
husband was assigned to an
older "boomer" submarine:
the USS Tecumseh, some
twenty five years before that
his father did patrols on the
Regulus missile submarine
USS Growler. Now, our son is
part of the wonderful group of
men that forms the crew of the
USS Maryland. I feel so proud
of the constant effort, com-
mitment, challenging job and
sacrifices that so many young
men and young families gen-
erously offer for the security of
this nation.
I used to hear these words
of appreciation often during
my husband's twenty years of
duty as a submarine officer.
As a Mom, I was always busy

Personnel

priority

in budget

By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
Personnel needs are at
the heart of his proposal to
reshape the priorities of
America's defense establish-
ment, Defense Secretary
Robert M. Gates said.
Gates laid out his budget
recommendations April 6 dur-
ing a news conference at the
Pentagon.
The secretary's recommen-
dations will eliminate some
high-cost, under-performing
programs, but will "fully pro-
tect and properly fund" the
growth in the Army and Marine
Corps and halt reductions in
the Navy and Air Force, Gates
said.
The secretary's second pri-
ority is to rebalance Defense
Department capabilities to

Vacation Bible School coming

approved, these recommen-
dations will profoundly reform
how this department does
business."
Taking care of the all-volun-
teer force is the secretary's first
priority in the budget. In the
past, funding for growing the
force and other quality of life
initiatives was often done on
an ad hoc basis in the yearly
supplemental. The secretary
said he believes these are too
important not to include in the
base budget.
Growing the land services
and halting reductions in the
Navy and Air Force will add
$11 billion to the fiscal 2010
base budget.
The secretary also would like
an extra $400 million to contin-
ue growth in military medical
research and development.
The secretary noted the
importance of recognizing the

ate the hard and challenging
job that was done. Through
the many hours of sacrifice,
and difficulties encountered
in raising a family under these
circumstances I can only say
now that there is such a great
deep feeling of accomplish-
ment when our commitment
is finished. Those of us who
have experienced this life with
all of its joys and challenges
have nothing but the deepest
appreciation for all of you who
have chosen to carry on the
proud tradition of Submarine
Service.

critical and permanent nature
of programs for the wounded,
ill and injured, as well as trau-
matic brain injury and psy-
chological health programs.
"This means institutionaliz-
ing and properly funding these
efforts in the base budget and
increasing overall spending by
$300 million," he said. "The
department will spend over
$47 billion on health care in
fiscal 2010."
The department also will
increase funding by $200 mil-
lion for improvements in child
care, spousal support, lodging
and education.


With the end of the school
year quickly approaching, the
Command Religious Program
of the Subase Chapel King's
Bay is busy preparing for
Vacation Bible School.
This year's VBS is scheduled
for June 15 to 19. Each day
from 9 a.m. to noon, children
who have completed kinder-
garten through fifth grade are
invited to share in this exciting
program.
The theme for this year's
VBS is "Crocodile Dock: Where
Fearless Kids Shine God's
Light." Crocodile Dock is buzz-
ing with fun for kids, teenag-
ers and adults. Everyone who
participates in this VBS will
explore God's Word ... and
never be the same again!
Not only will children have
an opportunity to experience
amazing Bible adventures,
theywill learn to watch for God
in great and small ways. As
they conduct "God Sightings,"
children will discover that God
is present and active in their
daily lives.
Children will begin each day
by forming small groups called

Stomp where they will learn
fun motions to upbeat Bible
songs. Using drama, music,
crafts, snacks and games, the
children will discover God's
presence, power and love for
each of them.
To help make this year's
VBS program be even more
exciting, participants will meet
Jacques le Croc, Blossom the
Opossum, Tucker the Turtle,
Belle the Spoonbill and Flash
the Firefly. Each of these
delightful characters will fill
the children's hearts with
laughter as they experience
the good news in amazing and
creative ways.
Interested in attending?
Mark your calendars. A regis-
tration desk for VBS will be in
the chapel office from May 1
to June 1. Due to the limited


space, parents are asked to
register children at the earliest
possible date.
This is an awesome opportu-
nity to make a difference in the
faith of our military children
and those in the local com-
munity. The success of such a
program depends on the dedi-
cated service of both teen and
adult volunteers. Whether you
are a parent, an involved teen,
a command representative or
a community volunteer, we
need your help.
To help making your service
to the King's Bay community
easier, child care will be avail-
able for volunteers who sign
up to support the Chapel VBS
program.

tion, contact RP1 Stapleton at
573-4501 or stop by the chapel
office, located directly across

Colonoscopy gives chief a chance


By Marsha Childs
Naval Hosptial Jacksonville
Marketing Coordinator


On the day before he was
scheduled to start chemo-
therapy, Hospital Corpsman
Senior Chief Petty Officer
(FMF/AW) Jonathan "Ace"
Acedera, 48, seemed fragile as
he reflected on his recent diag-
nosis of colon cancer.
Only a few months earlier
he was making plans for retire-
ment, exploring promising job
opportunities and entertain-
ing the idea of learning to surf
when his life took an unex-
pected turn.
Ace was scheduled to retire
in December, 2008 after 26
years of service. It was dur-
ing a Veterans Administration
disability physical in July 2008
when Dr. Antonia Silva-Hale
discovered a 2006 medical
record entry noting what Ace
thought he saw: blood in his
stool.
In 2006, the doctor told
Ace that if there was indeed
blood in his stool, it must have
been there for years and, if
cancer related, he should be
dying or already dead. To be
on the safe side, the physi-
cian ordered a colonoscopy.
This study examines the large
colon and small bowel using a
fiber optic camera on a flexible
tube passed through the anus
while the patient is sedated.
But Ace never followed up
since he was still uncertain
about the presence of blood.
And if there was, he reasoned,


it was probably due to irritat-
ed hemorrhoids. His decision
was made in part due to his
very demanding job.
"I was so busy," he said.
Hence, the colonoscopywas
never performed.
The VA physician urged Ace
to schedule the colonoscopy
he never had in 2006, although
there was no family history
of colon cancer, a factor that
increases the risk for the dis-
ease.
"It was the way she said it
that made me give it a lot of
serious thought, and I also
wanted to put closure on the
issue," he said.
In November, 2008, Naval
Hospital Jacksonville gastro-
enterologist Lt. Cmdr. John
Bassett performed the screen-
ing and removed a suspicious
lesion.
"I expected it to be nega-
tive," Ace said. "I don't drink,
I don't smoke, I exercise and
I pride myself on being very
healthy."
But, two days later, Bassett
called with the troubling
pathology results.
There are rare events in life
that are so significant that you
never forget where you were or
what you were doing. For Ace,
this was that occasion.
"So doc, what you're tell-
ing me is I have cancer?" he
asked.
Bassett confirmed his worst
fears. The lesion was cancer-


ous.
"The key now will be to
determine if the cancer has
spread," Bassett said. "While
the diagnosis is serious and
potentially life-threatening,
now we can get you the care
you need"'
The diagnosis was adeno-
carcinoma, a cancer known to
be invasive, spreading to other
parts of the body.
Additional radiological
studies performed at the Naval
Hospital and repeated at the
University of Florida and
Shands, Jacksonville, showed
no evidence of the disease in
the liver, lungs and bone. The
colonoscopy and additional
testing revealed the disease
had not spread throughout his
body.
Ace was referred to Dr. Ziad
Awad, a seasoned colorectal
surgeon at Shands, for lapa-
roscopic surgery on Dec. 17.
Entering through a small inci-
sion, Awad found no visible
evidence that the cancer had
spread outside the bowel.
Further studies were done to
determine the exact location
of the cancer and how deep
it went into the surrounding
tissue.
After conferring with col-
leagues at Shands and
Columbia, Awad recom-
mended they proceed with the
bowel resection, a procedure
to remove a portion of the
bowel. Ace recalled thinking,
"If they took out a segment of
my large intestine and it had
cancer, I would be glad it was


taken out. If they took it out
and it was clean, I would have
peace of mind."
The procedure was resched-
uled for Feb. 11 where a seg-
ment of the rectum and sig-
moid intestine was removed.
In all, 17 lymph nodes were
sampled: 15 came back nega-
tive and two positive for can-
cer. Awad told Ace he was
shocked how aggressive his
cancer was and he had never
seen anything it like before.
On March 24, Ace under-
went the first of many chemo-
therapy sessions that include
both oral medication and
intravenous infusion.
"I try not to think about the
pain and side effects of the
intravenous therapy, which
I need every 21 days for six
months," he said.
His chemotherapist
explained his survival rate
would improve from 65 per-
cent without chemotherapy to
85 percent with the treatment.
Chemotherapy affects patients
differently, but many experi-
ence nausea, loss of appetite
and weight, diarrhea, vomit-
ing and hair loss. They are a
small price to pay for another
chance at life.
The surgery left Ace weak
with little appetite, but the
pain lessened every day. With
the loving support of his wife
of 23 years, Margie, and his
two sons, Jordan, 19, and
Paolo, 21, Ace is "going to live
it one day at a time.' He credits
Bassett and his team for giving
him the hope of living another

presence of colon cancer following Ace's colonoscopy.


30 years. He also credits Silva-
Hale who convinced him to
have that colonoscopy before
retirement, which he now
knows probably saved his life.
Ace is optimistic his medical
journeywill help others. Colon
cancer is largely a preventable
disease with early detection. It
remains, however, the second
leading cause of all cancer-
related deaths in the United
States and may be caused by
environmental or dietary fac-
tors and genetic predisposi-
tion.
The risk significantly
increases for adults age 50 and
older. Because colon cancer


develops from slow growing
polyps with no symptoms
until it is advanced or there
is a large tumor present, early
detection and intervention
can improve survival rates up
to 90 percent.
The American Academy
of Family Physicians recom-
mends periodic clinical pre-
ventive screenings based on
age, gender and medical con-
dition or as recommended by
a health care provider, espe-
cially if there is a family history
for conditions such as colon
cancer. To learn more, visit

The North Koreans have
insisted that their Taepodong

neighbors South Korea and
Japan were alarmed at the pos-

North Koreans conducted an
unsuccessful missile launch in
2006 when their rocket briefly
passed over Japanese terri-

Another North Korean mis-

training of our Trident SSBN
crews is vital to the security of
our nation. It requires atten-

State Department spokesman
Robert Wood told reporters at
an April 2 news conference in
Washington, D.C.
International diplomats
have employed negotiations,
known as the Six-Party Talks,
between the United States,
South Korea, Japan, China,
North Korea and Russia to per-
suade North Korea to jettison
its nuclear weapons program.
Arms control experts believe
that a nuclear-armed North
Korea would ratchet up ten-

arms race across the region.

develop a plan to eliminate
financial stress. With a little
donation every month, it can
add up to a lot over time. And,
we want people to know we
are here for them. Our plan
with every customer is to have
them leave us with a solu-
tion.'
Tate said NMCRS suggests
service members donate
through automatic paycheck
allotments, with junior enlist-
ed contributing $4 per month,
senior enlisted $6 and officers
$10. Such a small sacrifice
once a month would ensure
the society is capable of pro-
viding interest-free loans and
grants.
In 2008, the Kings Baybranch
handled 421 financial assis-
tance classes, and disbursed
$281,118 in interest free loans
$40,405 in grants.
This number includes
$30,321 in Quick Assistance
cases. Globally, NMCRS spent
$42.7 million dollars in emer-
gency aid. These are cases that
involve food, shelter, vehicle


repairs, emergency transpor-
tation, funerals and more.
NMCRS also handled 61,294
financial assistance cases.
In a typical assistance case,
a service member makes an
appointment with NMCRS
and comes in to complete a
budget with a case worker. If
it is determined that the ser-
vice member cannot afford
particular services or goods,
all options are examined and
advice is given.
In many cases, the relief
society will determine that
the service member or fam-
ily needs financial assistance,
which is provided in the form
of an interest-free loan or
monetary grant. Each case is
carefully examined, and all
facts are taken into consider-
ation before financial help is
given.
NMCRS command repre-
sentative for Kings Bay, MA1
Frederick Jenkins, wants this
year's program to get a good
start with the fund-raiser
meeting it's goal.
"This is a good cause, and
I hope people give what they
can," Jenkins said. "With tough-
er times, money is tighter, and
the first thought people have is


to not give. But, we hope that
people want to help their ship-
mates who are in need. If you
donate $4 a month it won't
hurt your wallet. But it adds
up over the year. I ask people
to find their coordinator for
information.'
Jenkins is optimistic about
this year's drive.
"Kings Bay is going to do
well because I believe that
people care about their ship-
mates in need," Jenkins said.
"For information on how to
donate, contact your depart-
ment or command's coordina-
tor. If everyone gives a couple
dollars a month, we should be
OK. You never know when a
tragedy is going to hit, and you
need a assistance. NMCRS is
always willing to help."
Service members willing to
contribute to NMCRS should
contact their local command
fund drive coordinator. For
information on donating dur-
ing the campaign drive, con-
tact your coordinator or MA1
Frederick Jenkins at 573-8738.
Those service members
or dependants who require
financial assistance may call
Kings Bay's NMCRS at 573-

commitment to providing the
best care possible for Sailors,
Coast Guardsmen and their
families.
Through proactive leader-
ship, the Safe Harbor program
provides seriously wounded,
ill and injured service mem-
bers a lifetime of individually
tailored assistance designed to
optimize the success of their
recovery, rehabilitation and
reintegration activities and to
give their families the support
they need to get through that
sometimes life-long process.

Big impact expected from new GI Bill


By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service


All systems are on track for this sum-
mer's rollout of the new Post-9/11 GI Bill,
which Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K.
Shinseki said he expects to have as monu-
mental an impact as the original World
War II-era GI Bill of Rights.
Shinseki, who served as Army chief of
staff from 1999 to 2003, told American
Forces Press Service he understands the
excitement over the new program that
goes into effect Aug. 1.
The new GI Bill will provide the most
comprehensive educational benefits
since the original bill, officially called the
Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944,
was signed into law.
Many veterans who served after Sept.
11, 2001, will be eligible for full tuition
and fees, a new monthly housing stipend
and an annual stipend of up to $1,000
for books and supplies. Reservists and
National Guard members who have been
activated for more than 90 days since
9/11 will have access to the same GI Bill
benefits.
And for the first time, those enrolled in
the Post-9/11 GI Bill program will be able
to transfer unused educational benefits to
spouses or children.
"It has been a long time since we've
had an education initiative that includes
tuition fees [and a] housing allowance,
[and] takes care of all of the requirements
required to go to school," Shinseki said of
the program. This will enable veterans to
focus on their studies, he said, without
the distractions of figuring out how to pay
for them.
Shinseki said he expects the Post-9/11
GI Bill to have as big an impact as the
original GI Bill. That law provided college
education or vocational training for mil-
lions of returning World War II veterans,
loans so they could buy homes or start
businesses, and unemployment compen-
sation while they looked for jobs.
By the time the original GI Bill ended
in July 1956, 7.8 million World War II
veterans had taken advantage of the edu-
cation and training programs it funded,
and another 2.4 million had signed up for
VA-backed home loans.
"What that bill did for the countrywas to
change the course of our history and the
latter half of the 20th century," Shinseki
said. "When those veterans went back
to their communities with their college
degrees, they ended up being our leaders
in religion, education, business, govern-
ment you name it'.
The Post-9/11 version "has the oppor-
tunity to create in the 21st century the


same kind of impact for
development, ... social
change [and] leadership
across a lot of institu-
tions,' he said.
The program will be
administered and fund-
ed by VA, and represents
a "huge investment" by
the United States in its Shinseki
veterans, Shinseki said.
This, he said, sends a strong, unmistak-
able message.
"I think young veterans who come back
and participate in [in the Post 9/11 GI Bill]
will begin to understand how much they
are valued [and] how much their service
is valued, just by the opportunity here,"
he said.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates
advocated expanding education benefits
as a way to recognize troops' service while
supporting both recruiting and retention.
Gates first heard the transferability con-
cept floated during a meeting with a mili-
tary spouses' group at Fort Hood, Texas,
and pitched the idea to then-President


George W. Bush. Bush promoted the
idea and ultimately signed the Post-9/11
Veterans Education Assistance Act of 2008
into law on June 30.
A whopping 97 percent of servicemem-
bers surveyed in August said they plan
to take advantage of the new benefits
provided in the Post-11 GI Bill, said Bill
Carr, deputy undersecretary of defense
for military personnel policy.
"Enormous interest has been expressed
in the transferability provision and how it
would work, because so many in the force
have families," Carr said. He noted that
half of the military force is married. By the
time troops have served six years of duty,
about two-thirds have families.
To qualify for transferability under the
Post-9/11 GI Bill, servicemembers must
have served six years on active duty or in
the Selected Reserve, and must commit to
another four years.
But Carr said the rules could be tweaked
soon to allow mid- or late-career troops
to qualify, even if they can't sign on for
another four years of duty due to service
restrictions.

Ej] Cooking Safety



of home fires and home injuries. The -
leading cause of fires in the kitchen is
unattended cooking. It's important to be
alert to prevent cooking fires.
SAFETY TIPS
* Stay in the kitchen when you are frying,
grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the
kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the
home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
Keep anything that can catch fire oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels
or curtains away from your stovetop.
Keep the stovetop, burners and oven clean,
Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. Loose clothing can dangle
onto stove burners and can catch fire if it comes in contact with a gas flame or electric burner.
Have a "kid-free zone" of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or
drink is prepared or carried.
Always use cooking equipment that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.
Follow manufacturer's instructions and code requirements when installing, cleaning, and
operating cooking equipment.
Plug microwave ovens or other cooking appliances directly into an outlet. Never use an
extension cord for a cooking appliance as it can overload the circuit and cause a fire.
Check electrical cords for cracks, breaks, or damage.
IF YOU HAVE A COOKING FIRE
Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire,
Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave.
If you do try to fight the fire, be sure others are already getting out and you have a clear
path to the exit.
Always keep a lid nearby when you're cooking. If a small grease fire starts in a pan, smother
the flames by carefully sliding the lid over the pan. Turn off the burner. Do not move the
pan. To keep the fire from restarting, leave the tid on until the pan is completely cool.
In case of an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. After a fire, the oven
should be checked and/or serviced before being used again.

Navy photo by MC2 Michael Starkey
Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, speaks with Sailors
aboard the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7).


Commander stresses dialogue


By MC1 Jerry Foltz
Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs

Commander, U.S. Fleet
Forces Command answered
questions from Sailors, regard-
ing Navy downsizing, fleet
manning and individual aug-
mentees in a podcast released
March 31.
Adm. Jonathan Greenert
addressed the concerns of one
USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) Sailor
regarding the Navy's current
manning and force stabilizing
plan.
"We are looking very closely
at making sure we are [prop-
erly] sizing the manpower on
our ships, the fit and the fill.
We are very focused on that,"
Greenert said. "There have
been changes in the force and
in the demands on the force.
A few initiatives put in place
that tend to reduce the size
of our workforce are Optimal
Manning, Top Six Roll-Down,
(reducing the percentage of
Sailors in the E-4 to E-9 pay-
grades), rating mergers and
of course the demand on the
force due to individual aug-
mentee requirements.
"But there are other
dynamics that are tending to
increase the size of the Navy,"
he explained. "We are losing
fewer people this year than in
the past. The economy tends
to be a factor; I think work sat-


isfaction tends to be a factor,
and that has caused us to put
in place things like Perform To
Serve and other force shaping
initiatives. In the long term,
we will get it right. But I have
to say, sea duty and duty in
the Navy is a demanding duty;
it's hard, and that part of it will
never change."
Greenert also answered
a USS Enterprise (CVN 65)
Sailor's question on the role
and future of the IA process.
"The IA program is here
to stay," Greenert said. "We
will be supporting this for at
least the next two years. We
have unique and critical skill
sets among our great Sailors
that are a tremendous value
to the forces. We perform
unique missions that no one
else performs over there [Iraq,
Afghanistan and the Horn of
Africa]. We are the experts
when it comes to maritime
security.'
Greenert stressed the
importance of maintaining a
constant dialogue with Sailors
either deploying or return-
ing from an IA assignment, in
order to refine and streamline
the IA process.
"We are committed to lis-
tening to the Sailors out there,'
said Greenert. "[Our goal is] to
have a process that is integrat-
ed as part of a Sailor's career
so that they know that duty as


an IA doesn't adversely affect
their career, but will in fact
enrich it.'
As the IA executive agent,
USFF ensures a streamlined,
standardized oversight of all
IA support programs and pro-
cesses Navywide.
USFF also is assigned
responsibilities as the global
force manager for IAs.
"Part and parcel is the notifi-
cation of the IA," said Greenert.
"We were on a 30-40 day noti-
fication [announcement]. I am
getting consistent feedback
that we are in the 60-90 day
notification and getting better.
I think we will get to the point
where six out of every ten IA's
will be a GSA (Global War on
Terror Support Assignment)."
Greenert closed the podcast
by giving praise to Sailors for
their service to the Navy and
the nation.
"I would just like to thank
those who are serving. Every
single one of my trips [through-
out the fleet] energizes me as I
meet those people out there.
The talent, the dedication
and the selflessness blows me
away," said Greenert.
The podcast, a pre-recorded
audio program posted to the
USFF Web site, is used as a
platform to speak to the fleet
and is available for download
to personal computers or
mobile devices.

The Submariner

Only a submariner real-ies to what extent an entire ship depends
on him as an individual. To a landsman this is not
understandable, and sometimes it is even difficultfor 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 lake 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
Noav. There is not an instant during his tour as a submariner that
he can escape the grasp 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..
SUBMARINER

THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, April 9, 2009


Intermission provides break


By Lt. Cmdr. Elizabeth
Zimmermann
Task Force Life Work
Sailors can now take a break
from active Navy service,
courtesy of the new Career
Intermission Pilot Program.
Approved in the Fiscal
Year 2009 National Defense
Authorization Act, the CIPP
offers a temporary inactivation
from active duty, from one to
three years, for top performing
Sailors. The Navy is optimistic
that this measure will enhance
retention in critical skill sets,
while allowing greater flexibil-
ity in career paths of service
members.
"Our Navy continues to
look at innovative approaches
to retaining our best Sailors.
Finding new ways to hold on
to the leaders of tomorrow is
a must," said Rear Adm. Dan
Holloway, director, Manpower,
Personnel, Training and
Education. "Our millennial
generation continues to tell
us they want balance between
their personal and profession-
al life. This is one tool to pro-
vide flexibility for our Sailors
and to help them positively
integrate life and work."
The pilot program provides
an opportunity for up to 20
officers and 20 enlisted partic-
ipants each year in 2009, 2010,


2011 and 2012. The CIPP will
provide a one-time temporary
transition for active-duty per-
sonnel to the Individual Ready
Reserve. Participants will
retain full active-duty Tricare
health benefits for themselves
and their dependents and
receive a monthly stipend of
one-fifteenth of their basic
pay. To ease the transition,
members may elect a Navy-
funded permanent change of
station move to anywhere in
the continental United States
when entering the program.
"This pilot program is for
top performers who have the
desire to 'Stay Navy,' but need
some time off," said Holloway.
"It could be for any number of
reasons to pursue a degree
full-time, to take care of an
ailing parent, or to start a fam-
ily."
All program participants will
return to active duty at the end
of the period prescribed and
will incur a two-to-one service
obligation for every month in
the program, served in addi-
tion to any previously exist-
ing obligation. Time spent in
the IRR will not count toward
retirement, computation of
total years of commissioned
service, or high-year tenure
limitations.
Thebreakin service excludes
participants from promotion


consideration. Upon return-
ing to active duty, officers
will have their date of rank
adjusted, and enlisted mem-
bers will have their active duty
service date adjusted in order
to be competitive with others
of similar time in grade on
active duty.
"We are looking at career
intermission as a possible per-
manent part of Sailors' 'menu
of options' for a lifetime of
Navy service," said Holloway.
"It's just one of many flexible
options we are implementing
or considering as we respond
to changing workforce and
cultural needs."
The 'menu of options'
includes ideas such as part-
time work for part-time pay,
more interchange between
active and Reserve status and
other flexible work options
such as telework and com-
pressed work schedules.
Application packages
are due to Pers-4 by May 1.
Selectees and alternates will
be announced by the end of
June. Full pilot program details
can be found in OPNAVINST
1330.2, and the instruction,
NAVADMIN and related infor-
mation are available on the
Task Force Life/Work Web site
at www.npc.navy.mil/com-

VITA offers tax filing assistance


From Kings Bay Volunteer Income
Tax Assistance
Manyreceived checks/direct
deposits last year of up to
$1,200 for a married couple fil-
ing jointly and $300 per quali-
fying child. If you did, you have
no tax liability or additional
tax benefit unless, as IRS deli-
cately calls it, you experienced
a "major life change" in 2008.
Your stimulus payment was
based on your 2007 tax return
information. Consequently
if you did not file a 2007 tax
return or something happened
in 2008 such as the arrival of a
new baby, you likely qualify
for what is referred to as a
