Researchers from the
University of Georgia
Savannah River Ecology
Laboratory recently visited
Naval Submarine Base Kings
Bay to conduct the first base-
wide study of the native
gopher tortoise.
"Across the range of the
species, military bases have
been great for management
of tortoise habitats because
of large areas of protected
habitat," assistant research
scientist Tracey Tuberville,
Ph.D., said.
The semi-rare species is
managed on military bases,
preventing wildlife conflicts
from competing with the
military's mission.
KingsBayNaturalResource
Manager Paul Schoenfeld
said the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and Kings
Bay work together under a
cooperative agreement for
the conservation of wildlife
resources, as covered under
the natural resources man-
agement plan.
The gopher tortoise is con-
sidered an important species
because it has a dispropor-
tionate effect on the rest of
the ecosystem. The burrows
they dig are used by more
than 300 species, including
the rare and endangered
indigo snake.
After they are abandoned,
the burrow's turned up soil
offers opportunities for
growth of many rare plant
species. The tortoises eat a
variety of vegetation and dis-
perse them throughout the
landscape.
By studying the burrows,
Tuberville is able to deter-

Gates says U.S.

By John J. Kruzel

A comprehensive American outreach effort
to the Islamic world will pay dividends, Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates said April 8.
Gates, in an interview on the PBS News Hour
with Jim Lehrer, acknowledged the U.S. gov-
ernment's attempts to connect with Muslims
while communicating its concern over violent
extremism has been insufficient so far.
"I gave a speech last year in which I made the
comment that how can it be that the nation that
discovered public relations is being out-com-
municated by a guy in a cave?" he said. "The
reality is I think we probably have not done as
well as we should have in terms of reaching out
to Muslims and making clear that what we're
concerned about our violent extremists."

coming

Volunteers sought
to help as 600
athletes compete
here April 29

By Kelly Wirfel
Kings Bay Submarine Base
Community Relations Manager
More than 600 hundred ath-
letes from eight different coun-
ties throughout Georgia will be
making the annual trip to Naval
Submarine Base Kings Bay to
show off their athletic skills in
the 13th Annual Georgia Area
16 Special Olympics.
The games are set to take
place April 29. Athletes will
be participating in a variety of
events from the 100 meter dash
to the standing long jump and
even a tennis ball throw.
Kings Bayhasbeen the home
to this event for more than
a decade, and it has always
been a rewarding experience
for both participants and vol-
unteers.
"These children give a lot of
love and enjoyed every minute
they could while they were out
there competing'" said Bobby
Daniels, who volunteered last
year. "It was great that we were
able to come out here and vol-
unteer for such a good cause,
and we plan to continue to vol-
unteer in the years to come."
Sailors, Marines, Depart-
ment of Defense contractors,
base employees and other vol-
unteers are the key to mak-
ing this event a success, and
at least 1,000 individuals are
needed to help in several
areas which include bus rid-
ers, "buddies" to the athletes,
working at the information
help desk or assisting in the
awards ceremony. Volunteers
will be needed from approxi-
mately 8 a.m. through 1 p.m.
and are asked to wear yellow
shirts to be easily identified.
The Chief Petty Officer
Association will be hosting a
cookout for volunteers imme-
diately following the event.
If interested in volunteering,
contact your department rep-
resentative or Chief Jimmy Hill
at (912) 573-4501.

set aside to aid registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organiza-
tions in the Kings Bay and North Florida areas.
K.B.S.O.W.C. has generated approximately $900 in fund-
raising contributions so far this year. Another fund-raiser,
estimated to raise in excess of $500, is scheduled for
April. The funds from these events will be combined and
awarded to local non-profit organizations in the form of
community grants.

You can give something every day in life


H ere child, take this next
door to Sister Jones,
and give it to her.
Mom, do I have to go now?
Yes, now!
But what is it?
It's ajar of strawberry pre-
serves.
I like strawberry preserves
mom. Why do we have to
give them to her? It's not
Christmas.
Son, giving is not just during
Christmas. We should give all
year long.

In this new season of
spring, giving is all around
us. Mother Nature is giving
us bright, new flowers. We
hear the songs of the birds
chirping. Warm rays of the
sun seem to not only brighten
our days but also enliven our
hearts. We are amused by the
playful antics of the squirrels
we see outside our windows
or in our walk across the cam-
pus.
Someone has said give your
best to the world, and the
best will be given back to you.
We usually think of giving as
supporting a worthy cause
with our money. Many do
this and organizations such


as the American Red Cross
and the Navy Marine Corps
Relief Society are the better
for it. But such giving, though
praise worthy, can be an easy
way out.
Many spouses do this in an
effort to please their husband
or wife. Giving money or a gift
to those we love is nice. But
many times they really don't
want our presents but would
rather have our presence.
They want us to take an active
role in their lives. Absence
doesn't necessarily make the
heart grow fonder.
A MasterCard commercial,
we believe, places everything
in the right prospective when
it comes to giving. We are


sure you've seen one or two
of these commercials. "A trip
to Ireland $950; buying new
fishing tackle $150. Casting
off with your dad priceless."
Isn't it wonderful that the
priceless things we can give
don't really cost us anything.
Santa may have lots of
toys in his bag to give for
Christmas. But have you
recently taken a good look
at what you have? We can
give others an encouraging
word even though our day
may have not been that great.
We can forgive others who
have harmed us and refuse
to become bitter or hold a
grudge.
Giving of our time and
talents means taking on
an attitude of selflessness.
True generosity is not giving
because it's expected of you
or because you are afraid of
the disapproval of others. We
must become other centered.
It's not what can I get out of
this but what can I put into
this.
Our not being able to give
of ourselves speaks to insecu-
rity and a lack of confidence.
Giving is never about having
an abundance of resources.


It's not saying I really don't
have it to give because I don't
have very much. It's saying I
know my talents and unique
abilities. It's knowing I have
each day a gift that no one
else can give. It's saying I am
willing to share them with
others when I see the need.
When we invest in our
community through the lives
of others, we can expect a
return. Your time, talent and
treasure placed in the hearts
of those we see everyday is
sure to uplift your spirit. It
certainly will change your
outlook and enable you to
see people in ways you have
never seen them before.
Generosity will build fruit-
ful relationships and solid
families, and create caring
neighborhoods.

Mom, what is Sister Jones is
going to give us for the straw-
berry preserves?
She is not going to give us
anything.
But during Christmas we
give each other presents.
Yes, I know, but real giving is
giving not expecting anything
in return.
Okay, Mom.


There is help for depression over deployments


Y our husband deploys.
You find yourselfwor-
rying about him, where
he is, and what he is doing.
Your body aches from the
sleepless nights.
You feel drained and find
yourself being snippy with
your children, friends, fam-
ily or co-workers. You mind
is constantly going to stay
on task. For many of us, we
read this and think, "Oh, she's
talking about the cycles of
deployment!" But, really these
are also signs of anxiety and
depression.
There are studies that
suggest women experience
depression and anxiety up
to twice as often as men.
Hormonal factors may con-
tribute to the increase rate of
depression, such as menstrual
cycle changes, pregnancy,
miscarriages, postpartum
period, pre-menopause and
menopause. Women face
unique stressors such as
responsibilities both at work
and home, single parenthood,
and caring for children and
aging parents.
What is surprising to me
is that this study is talking
about your every day civilian
woman. If you read through
it again and think of the wife
you know that had her last
child while her husband was
deployed or the one who is
raising four children under
the age of 6 on her own,
it takes on new meaning.
We go through all of these
"moments" while dealing with
deployments, PCSing and just
every day military life. If a
woman with out those factors
is at risk, just think where that
puts us.
I am disappointed with the
military for not putting more
information out about this
subject. There are resources,
but it isn't talked about as
much as it should be. Wives
should be getting this infor-
mation before every deploy-
ment. Period. Our husbands
get briefed on it, heck they
hold training's on it. The


wives don't go through Boot
Camp. We don't get screened
for depression. Very rarely
is anyone looking for signs.
People just write it off as, "Oh,
her husband is deployed/
deploying." Somehow we
were overlooked. I can't tell
you how many times I have
seen a fellow wife battling
with depression or anxiety. It
is heart breaking and scary. A
lot of the fault is our own.
We have created this unre-
alistic idea of a Super Wife.
This would be the wife that
is always happy, upbeat,
perfectly dressed, maintains
a gym issued body, her kids
are polite and always clean,
she works, volunteers, and
has time to host tea socials at
her perfectly clean and orga-
nized home. Many of us don't
admit that we have a problem.
We all think that we should be
able to handle this. What we
are doing to ourselves and the
example we are setting for the
new wife watching all of us is
sad. We are thrown into a life
that was made for our hus-
bands, not us.
Granted, the Military is
trying to be more "family
friendly," but let's face it, if
we want things to change,
we have to be proactive. And
the first thing we need to do
is take care of ourselves. No
one is going to come to your
home and evaluate your per-
formance and look for symp-
toms and you are definitely
not going to receive a coun-
seling chit from anyone. We
can't compare ourselves to


our active duty spouse. Their
issues and situations that they
have to deal with are some-
times far from our reality. But,
that doesn't mean that we are
not faced with our own chal-
lenges and hardships.
Our biggest obstacle is
being a single parent or for
those who don't have chil-
dren, the feeling of being sin-
gle again. Yes, we know that
we are married and have that
special someone somewhere,
but that whole absence makes
the heart grow fonder stuff is
not so often true. I don't even
know where my husband IS!?
I can't call him, see him, write
him and most of the times not
even an e-mail. That alone
is a reason to have "issues"
Throw in finances, making
major decisions like buying
a home or car, and Murphy's
Law and we all need counsel-
ing.
Yes, counseling. It is some-
thing that we need to start
thinking of differently. Just
because you are feeling
depressed, doesn't mean that
you need medication to fix
the problem. Some times just
talking to the right person
can get you back on track.
You need to think of it as life
maintenance, not a last resort
on your way into divorce
court. It is covered by Tricare
and is something that I feel
everyone should do when
faced with deployments.
There are family therapists
that can not only help you
and your husband, but be
there for you when your hus-
band is deployed. Our chil-
dren are in need of this too.
Again, there wasn't a hand
book given to my husband in
boot camp or to me when we
arrived at our first command
on how to help our children
in this life style. They deserve
a safe place, where they can
say anything and everything
that maybe they don't want to
say in front of mom and dad.
I know many families that
do this together. And I have
always seen wonderful thing


come of it. These are also the
couples that have been mar-
ried for 15-plus and you can
tell they love each other and
are truly happy. Some of you
reading this are relating, but
still won't take the leap and
talk to someone. So, I did
some research and found a
Web site that can help you
determine if you are suffer-
ing from depression, anxiety,
or something else. It is a free
mental health assessment at
www.militarymentalhalth.org.
It is for active duty, DOD and
family members. I hope that if
you take the assessment, you
will follow through with the
results.
Something that we can all
do to avoid stress, anxiety,
and depression is to learn
to ask for help. I say "learn"
because we all stink at it.
I don't know any military
wife that is good at it. If you
are, I want you to e-mail me,
because I want to meet you.
Again, the Super Wife Flag is
blowing in the wind. We seem
to think we have to do it all,
that it's the norm and if we
can't, we are a lousy military
wife. But, the opposite is true.
We are stronger together.
None of us alone are as strong
as we are when we work
together. Our friendships are
so amazing and special. Why
not act on what we offer.
We all offer to help one
another, so why is it so hard
to ask? I personally would
rather eat dirt than to ask for
help, but I'm trying. I encour-
age everyone that reads this
to start talking about it. Ask
your command or FRG to
have someone speak on the
topics. Use the Fleet and
Family Support Center and
Chaplain. I've received many
e-mails about "deployment
blues" and next week I will
be answering those questions
and talking in detail about the
problems we face and how
to handle the holidays when
your husband is deployed.

you'd like discussed? E-mail me at

mitted to be at the Kings Bay
Education Fair to provide
information on their degree
plans and courses. The par-
ticipants are listed on the
Education Fair advertisement
on page 12 of this issue.
There will also be the resi-
dent Kings Bay partner schools
attending the education fair
that offer more traditional
classroom learning using an
eight-week program format.
These schools are Brenau
University and Valdosta State
University and they will be


providing information and
handouts about the degree
plans they offer.
Not everyone wants to go
to college right away, but may
want to improve their reading,
writing and arithmetic skills.
Also, many military members
would rather just test or CLEP
out and sit in class. The Navy
College Learning Center is the
place to prepare for both those
goals.
The NCLC staff will be avail-
able to demonstrate their
programs for improving basic
skills and to prepare for CLEP
tests using modular software


programs. These programs are
self paced and work around
your work schedule. All of
these programs are available
at no cost. For more informa-
tion about what CLEP is, drop
by and talk with the NCLC per-
sonnel.
For those interested in trades
and skills that require appren-
ticeships, representatives from
the United Services Military
Apprenticeship Program will
be available. USMAP is a for-
mal military training program
that provides active Sailors,
Marines and Coast Guardsmen
the opportunity to com-
plete civilian apprenticeship
requirements while they are


on active duty. This program
is recognized and actively sup-
ported by the U.S. Department
of Labor who also provides the
highly recognized Certificate
of Completion upon program
completion.
Ever thought about teach-
ing? The Georgia Troops to
Teachers program is a way to
get funding for certification
and a bonus as well. A rep-
resentative will be present to
discuss this program and how
it provides up to $10,000 for
becoming school teachers.
So, for an informative
look into a variety of educa-
tion opportunities, visit the
Education Fair from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m., Tuesday, April 21 and

JNdv y 'IIULUOS UD VIVJ LI I( IIc IttlI
These bicycles are nothing new to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay's Trident Refit Facilities' sent continued strives for a cleaner, safer world in which cost savings and environmental issues
efforts for a better work environment through production efficiency. However, they do repre- go together hand in hand.



Recycle/redu ce/r esse


The 3 IRs are
the rule at
Trident Refit's
Environmental
Division

By MC3 Eric Tretter
Periscope Staff
The folks at Trident Refit Facility
Environmental Division blend
concern, calculation and
research into everything they do.
A "quick" interview with Mark
Tuttle and Greg Walsh involves
pages of notes as the highly trained
individuals attempt to sum up and
explain what they do, how they do
it and why. Forty-five minutes later
and a detailed synopsis of their
respective job skills explained their


place and purpose at TRIREFFAC.
Yet it appeared the surface had bare-
ly been scraped.
Tuttle, the Hazardous Material
Program manager, and Walsh,
Pollution Prevention Air/Storm
Water Program manager, strive
equally with the conviction, coop-
eration and outstanding dedication
found repeatedly among military,
civilian Department of Defense
and contract employees who make
TRIREFFAC's money-saving, envi-
ronmentally friendly recycle/reduce/
reuse programs so very successful
and contribute to a safer working
environment.
In a layman's quick explanation of
their extensive job titles, Tuttle mon-
itors and researches the materials
that TRF appropriates while Walsh
sees how to improve the process.
Both jobs weigh employee safety as


the first concern, with environmen-
tal and cost-saving issues trailing
shortly thereafter.
"During this process, we try to get
the least-hazardous and most-green
materials," Tuttle said. "We try to
reduce a lot of the hazardous materi-
als that have been here for years and
bring in safer materials."
"It's kind of a unique department
because it covers everything," Walsh
added.
Everything? Well, at least a good
bit of the vast array of responsibili-
ties TRF has inherited as the larg-
est tenant command at Kings Bay.
From training 2,500-plus people on
hazardous materials handling to
where to dispose of spent cooking oil
from ballistic missile submarines to
ordering the most eco-friendly mate-
rials for the job and recycling what
is left, the environmental division at


TRIREFFAC wears many hats.
Some of TRIREFFAC's environ-
mentally-friendly practices are driv-
en by common sense. Production-
efficient bicycles scattered around
the waterfront lend employees quick
and easy door-to-door transporta-
tion. Others, like computer-run paint
distribution centers, are the result
of cost benefit analysis that saves
drastically when it comes to lessen-
ing wasted materials and messy han-
dling issues.
"If I can make their jobs safer,
cleaner and quicker, then I know I'm
doing my job," Walsh said.
Case in point: gigantic Mart-
brand aqueous parts washers in a
machine shop have replaced older
and exposed open dipping vats of
volatile chemicals. Essentially, these
oversized dishwashers are capable
of cleaning 5,000 pounds of parts in


a single run without a continuous
human presence. These machines
also use far less chemicals than the
equipment they replaced, relying
on high pressure jets to do the work
while keeping mankind from expo-
sure to a dangerous environment.
Massive recycling efforts, from
reams of 81/2-by-11 office paper and
masses of soda cans to 15,000-pound
lead ballasts from submarines gar-
nered more than $200,000 to Morale,
Welfare and Recreation's recycling
program in just the past year alone.
Convenience is key, so the con-
tents of smaller bins placed through-
out buildings are collected and
added to larger, industrial bins and
recycled by MWR. Everyone reaps
the benefits. Once more, segregated
recycling, or the process of sorting

The Global Electric Motorcar or GEM, provides quick and easy transportation around the
waterfront without all the start-up emissions of the vehicles they could replace. Along with
golf carts and bicycles, the GEM proves to be another tool in the toolbox in Trident Training
Facilities' environment friendly efforts.
Incentives make the GEM an attractive alternative.
"They cost us half as much as the cheapest pick-up or sedan we can lease per month,"
TRF Program Analyst Adminstrator Billy Griner said. "That's a pretty substantial money
saver, plus the environmental benefits."
Some of TRF's four-vehicle GEM test fleet are capable of hauling half-ton loads, which is
comparable to small and full-size trucks. With no gas or oil, maintenance, included in the
lease, and refueling, just a 110-volt socket away, it is very likely more GEMs will be buzzing


around the TRF waterfront in the future.



Recycle

and separating everything from paper, glass
and cardboard to zinc, a plethora of metals
and even ink cartridges and that nasty cook-
ing oil are used to make dividends or reused to
avoided being sent to the landfill.
"The whole idea is to divert these things from
the landfills," Tuttle said. "Anything we can con-
serve, hopefully MWR can capitalize on."
Near the TRF waterfront area, the con-
servation effort is apparent all around. Golf
carts and electric GEM cars whiz by and wire
screens perch between wastewater drainage


pits and their metal covers. Britt Crews and
Brandon St. John from the 17Alpha, the sheet
metal shop, quickly jettison scraps into a huge
wood-recycling dumpster and head back to
work. Not long after, a truck from yet another
shop follows.
Near the wood dumpster, others labeled for
various metals are full of used, discarded or
scrap materials, ever and always awaiting a
new life in some new form or fashion.
"These programs would not be supported
without the employees at TRF who are really
conscious about their role to support them',
Walsh said. "We could not survive without this
effort, and we want to give a lot of credit to the
guys at TRIREFFAC who are doing their jobs
and doing them right.'


With a little extra effort, segregated recycling offers big dividends. This recycling dumpster full
of brass and copper is a prime example.


Greg Walsh operates a waterfront Paint Distribution System. The computer-monitored and controlled mixing process reduces waste by 70 percent versus conventional methods.

Symposium focuses on military, family mental health care


By Marsha Childs
Naval Hospital Jacksonville
Marketing and Public Affairs


Former Navy Lt. Cmdr.
Heidi Kraft, a clinical psy-
chologist, served for seven
months at a remote air base
in western Iraq with the Alpha
Surgical Company, 1stMedical
Battalion in 2004.
She shared her heart-
wrenching experiences caring
for Marines suffering from war
zone operational stress with
more than 200 community-
based clinicians during a two-
day Serving Those Who Have
Served deployment men-
tal health symposium at the
University of North Florida,
March 30 and 31.
Naval Hospital Jacksonville
and the UNF co-sponsored
the event to help raise aware-
ness and provide clinical
tools and resources to mental
health practitioners who treat
military members who have
deployed to a combat zone
and their families as they try
to cope with the aftermath.
Kraft recalled one particu-
larly disturbing intervention
when her mental health team
was dispatched in May 2004 to
Mortuary Affairs in Fallujah.
The 25-member mortuary
unit was comprised of Marines
from various units. The unit
had just processed the bod-
ies of four American civilians
killed in their vehicles during
a grenade attack by suspected
insurgents.
When she first met the
men of Mortuary Affairs, they
quickly pointed they were not
morticians. Their job was to
prepare bodies and inventory
personal effects. During a ses-
sion, one Marine described a
recurring nightmare of having
his unit process his own dead
body. They were desperately
trying to cope with the stress-
ors of their jobs.
When Kraft returned in
August to MortuaryAffairs, the
men were angry. The group
was being split up and the
members were being sent back
to their units. They were a spe-

nity-based clinicians.


cial group exposed to chronic
unrelenting trauma and their
only solace was being with
one another.
"Combat units understand
each other like a band ofbroth-
ers," Kraft said. One young
Marine told her it was as if
they were all alone out there
on a base with thousands.
Kraft said this type of trauma
is not so much about specific
stories, but rather the feelings
combat-weary troops share.
"It's a sense of being alone, a
sense that it will never be OK,"
she said. "They feel isolated in
their struggles and are afraid
to admit they can't do it with-
out help."
Kraft understands this first-
hand.
When she returned to
NHJAX in September 2004,
she felt jumpy, nervous, and
desperately alone. While work-
ing in her office, she heard a
loud noise from somewhere
above and instinctively dove
under her desk to wait for the
fallout. When there was none,
she peeked into the hallway.
A junior hospital corpsman


quickly assessed the situa-
tion, backed Kraft in the office,
and asked if she was OK. Kraft
began to sob uncontrollably.
When her sobs subsided,
the corpsman said, "It's OK
not to be OK."
That is what she now tells
her patients. The armed forces
are working hard to de-stig-
matize combat stress injury,
according to Kraft.
"These are normal people in
extraordinary circumstances,"
said Kraft, who specializes in
combat trauma. "These are
people who are coming to your
care. Regardless of our roles,
we all have an opportunity to
influence our warfighters."
The deployment mental
health symposium brought
together national, regional
and local experts, many of
whom had served in combat
zones, who shared their spe-
cial insights relating to mili-
tary mental health, operation-
al stress and post-deployment
transition.
Treatment is improving to
better address the needs of ser-
vice members and their fami-


lies. The military has come a
long way in working to under-
stand and treat mental health
issues associated with combat
and operational stressors, and
timely and proper interven-
tion is critical, said Dr. Quinn
Bastian, NHJAX's Mental
Health department head.
"Combat stress injuries are
more complex than we used to
believe," he said. "It's not just
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
there can be mild traumatic
brain injury, substance abuse,
depression and other prob-
lems. And these injuries have
a ripple effect, often impacting
family members as profoundly
as the service members they
welcome home."
Many factors contribute to
the nature and severity of oper-
ational stress injuries, Bastian
said. Operational injuries can
stem not only from exposure
to trauma but also from the
grief that follows the loss of
team members, from personal
moral conflicts about one's
duties, and from the 'wear and
tear' of repeat deployments.
"Operational stress inju-


ries may be complicated, but
they're treatable," Bastian said.
"As we learn more about these
injuries we're also learning
more about how to help. We
now understand that a well-
coordinated, multi-disciplin-
ary team is often critical to
treatment, that separating a
stress-injured service member
from the support of his mili-
tary unit is often counterpro-
ductive, and that the primary
context for healing from stress
injuries is the family."
"We are committed to
ensuring that adequate and
appropriate mental health
resources are available to our
heroes and their families," said
Navy Capt. Bruce Gillingham,
NHJAX commanding officer.
"Whether it is before, during,
or after deployments, we want
them to know we care and that
it is alright to ask for guidance,
support or treatment."
In the past, many people
were reluctant to seek mental
health counseling or care, so
it is imperative to squelch any
associated stigma, according
to Gillingham.
"We continuously advocate
a culture that ensures our ser-
vice members or their fami-
lies who seek mental health
care will not be ostracized
or denied opportunities for
advancement or future ser-
vice'" he said. "Ensuring our
forces and their families have
available to them high-qual-
ity medical care to help them
be physically fit, healthy and
mentally sound is key to their
well-being and our imperative
to our operational success."
The hospital's Program
Manager for the Deployment
Health Center, Dr. Tracy
Hejmanowski, was instru-
mental in organizing the
symposium. Her goal was to
ensure that post-deployed
service members, whether on
active duty or as veterans, who
found their way to a civilian or
Department of Defense men-
tal health provider, would be


well served.
"Because there are many
civilian providers who are
interested in working with
military members, we are
invested in educating them
about the subtle nuances
associated with deployment',
Hejmanowski said.
The conference was
designed to move past con-
cepts, past rhetoric and pro-
vide useful treatments and
tools for clinicians to care for
this unique population. The
vast majority of returning ser-
vice members do very well,
Hejmanowski said.
"I am always amazed at how
they are able to integrate that
experience into their life. We
have a duty to ensure they are
able to return to their lives, a
duty to make sure it contin-
ues," she said.
The University of North
Florida Vice President and
Chief of Staff Thomas Serwatka
said the faculty was privileged
to be a part of these critical
deployment mental health
conversations.
"I can't think of anything
more honorable to do than to
honor these heroic men and
women," he said. "We all have
a responsibility to help them
rebuild their lives when they
are returning home and to the
civilian ranks'"
The university has assem-
bled a task force to welcome
these men and women and
assist them with their transi-
tion into the academic setting.
"I applaud the UNF team
and others who participated
in the symposium for working
as our partners and helping
us provide the best possible
quality of care for our team,"
Gillingham said. "I greatlywel-
come and value their insight,
knowledge, ideas, resources
and care.'

The Marine Corps is focused
on developing young men and
women and diversifying the
Corps in the upcoming fiscal
year, the commanding general
of Marine Corps Recruiting
Command said.
"They want some excite-
ment. They want to serve their
nation, and they want to be
a Marine," Maj. Gen. Robert
Milstead told bloggers and
online journalists during a
"DoDLive" bloggers round-
table March 31.
Milstead said it's not all
about popping caps and kick-

he said. "That's due to the fact
that these kids are a higher

Milstead said last year, 97
percent of the recruits that
came in were high school
graduates, which has allowed
the Marine Corps to be more

Milstead explained. "And that

For the Marines, diversity

By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service

President Barack Obama
praised the U.S. military's res-
cue of the kidnapped captain
of the Maersk-Alabama cargo
ship on the waters off the coast
of Somalia April 12.
U.S. naval forces freed Capt.
Richard Phillips five days after
Somali pirates took him hos-
tage.
"I am very pleased that
Captain Phillips has been res-
cued and is safely on board the
USS Boxer," Obama said in a
White House statement. "His
safety has been our principal
concern, and I know this is a
welcome relief to his family
and his crew.
"I am also very proud of the
efforts of the U.S. military and
many other departments and
agencies who worked tireless-
ly to secure Captain Phillips'
safe recovery," he said. "I share
the country's admiration for
the bravery of Captain Phillips

and his selfless concern for his
crew. His courage is a model
for all Americans."
NavyVice Adm. Bill Gortney,
commander of U.S. Naval
Forces Central Command,
commended those involved in
the rescue.
"This was an incredible
team effort, and I am extreme-
ly proud of the tireless efforts
of all the men and women
who made this rescue pos-


imminent danger and then
made that decision (to shoot),
and he had the authorities
to make that decision, and
he had seconds to make that
decision," he said.
On the marksmanship of
the snipers Gortney said, "We
pay a lot for their training and
we got a good return on our
investment."
Naval forces rescued Phillips
on a rigid-inflatable boat and
transferred him to the USS
Bainbridge before being flown
to the amphibious assault ship
USS Boxer, where he contact-
ed his family, received a rou-
tine medical evaluation, and is
resting comfortably, according
to a U.S. Navy statement.
Gortney said Phillips was


sible," Gortney said in a U.S.
Navy release. Gortney said
Phillips' actions, and those
of the Maersk-Alabama crew,
were heroic.
"They fought back to regain
control of their ship, and
Captain Phillips selflessly put
his life in the hands of these
armed criminals in order to
protect his crew," he said.
Followingthe rescue, Phillips
was taken aboard the USS


in good health and suffered
no apparent injuries, despite
being "tied up inside the life-
boat" for at least part of his five
days as a hostage. He noted
that a fourth pirate surren-
dered and is being held in U.S.
forces' custody.

one pirate in custody, the
statement said.


The admiral praised the mil-
itary servicemembers involved
in the rescue.
"I could not be more proud
to represent all the men
and women in uniform who
worked tirelessly to make this
rescue possible," he said.


By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service

The U.S. military's rescue of
a kidnapped American ship
captain was "textbook," but
the issue of piracy is likely to
worsen in the absence of a
systemic solution, Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates said
April 13.
Off the Somali coast, U.S.
special operations snipers on
the USS Bainbridge shot and
killed three pirates who had
held hostage the captain of the
Maersk-Alabama cargo ship
on a lifeboat for five days.
"It was textbook," Gates said
of the operation. "They were
patient. They got the right
people and the right equip-
ment in place, and then did
what they do."
Gates, speaking at the
Marine Corps War College
here, said two groups of mili-
tary operators were involved
in the rescue one based in
the region and one based in
the United States with each
requiring separate authority
from President Barack Obama.
"And the approval was given
virtually immediately in both
cases," Gates said.
Despite the operational pre-
cision of the rescue, however,
the question of how to deal
with the broader issue of pira-
cy still looms large, with 111
incidents reported last year on
the east coast of Somalia and
the Gulf of Aden.
"Is there a way to deal with
this in a systemic way that
reduces the risk and brings
the international community
together in a productive way to


deal with the problem?" Gates
said. "I think we're going to
end up spending a fair amount
of time on this in the adminis-
tration, seeing if there is a way
to try and mitigate this prob-
lem of piracy."
Gates, emphasizing the
limitations of a purely military
approach, said some have sug-
gested bypassing the central
government of Somalia and
instead establishing relation-
ships with officials of function-
ing local governments there.
"There is no purely military
solution to it," he said. "And as
long as you've got this incred-
ible number of poor people
and the risks are relatively
small, there's really no way in
my view to control it unless
you get something on land that
begins to change the equation
for these kids."
Gates noted the four pirates
involved in kidnapping the
Maersk-Alabama captain were
17 to 19 years old, and he cited
the dangerous combination of
untrained youth and arms.
"Untrained teenagers with
heavy weapons," he told the
group of 30 students and fac-
ulty members at the Marine
Corps War College. "Everybody
in the room knows the conse-
quences of that'.
Gates underscored that the
piracy issue will likely be an
important agenda item in
coming weeks.
"All I can tell you is I am
confident we will be spending
a lot of time in the situation
room over the next few weeks
trying to figure out what in the
world to do about this prob-
lem," he said.

What are the top 5 songs on your play list? 9you think about our question of the week.


Wanted to ask a question that wives, children and even mil-
itary members could answer, so this week I asked what the
top five songs are on your playlist, ipod or even the top five


songs you hear on the radio.
After asking this question, I realized that I didn't have just
five favorite songs, but I chose five songs by favorite artists


of mine U2's New Year's Day, The Beatles' Day in the Life,
Marvin Gaye's Mercy Me, Metallica's Sanitarium and Eric B.
and Rakim's Follow the Leader.

Command Master Chief Kunz retires


By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff

The relationship between
a Commanding Officer,
Executive Officer and
Command Master Chief is
similar to the one between
a quarterback and his wide
receivers. The major difference
is that the season is 12 months
a year, 24 hours a day.
Naval Submarine Base Kings
Bay said goodbye to one of
its leaders, April 8. Command
Master Chief (SS/SW) Joseph
Kunz bade farewell to the crew
at Submarine Base Kings Bay
that served with him since
October, 2006.
"Master Chief Kunz always
cared about his people'" ENC
(SW/AW) Willie Thornton
said. "Under that gruff exterior
was a man who cared about
everyone he was over.
"He was consistent and firm,
and yet, at the same time fair.
He was an old-school lead-
er from the old Navy, but he


was so consistent with what
he expected, you always knew
what to expect from him. I
would serve under him again
if allowed. It was a pleasure to
work with him."
Kunz retired after 28 years
in the Navy, making Kings Bay
his farewell tour. He is being
relieved by ITCS (SW/AW)
Jacqueline Mapp, who is filling
in as Command Master Chief
until the next relief arrives.
Senior Chief Mapp looks
respectfully at her time spent
with her predecessor.
"You never had to question
his point of view," Mapp said.
"He always kept his crew well
informed of whatever was
going on. He was firm but
fair which is a steady form of
leadership. It is an honor to
fill the position of Command
Master Chief and follow after
the example he set."
Since reporting to Kings
Bay, Mapp has been in charge
of Land Mobile department on
the base. She has had success-


ful tours at Great Lakes as a
Recruit Division Commander,
where she did a six-month tour
as an Individual Augmentee
from 2003 to 2004.
"I believe in firm but fair
treatment of my people,"
Mapp said. "I feel it is neces-
sary to know each person by
name. I expect my sailors to
be a cut above, to act appro-
priately in public, to adhere
to regulations and the orders
given them. I am excited for


the opportunity to be acting
Command Master Chief."
Mapp joined the Kings
Bay team in September, 2008,
arriving following a tour on
the USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63),
where she held the position of
Communication Leading Chief
Petty Officer, Safety Leading
Chief Petty Officer and Petty
Officer in Charge of the Hawks
Nest, which is the Kitty Hawks
Command Indoctrination pro-
gram.

Center, James P. McGarvey, his wife, Alice McGarvey, left, and Air Force Capt. Camille Carson,
research analyst, Southeast Asia Section, Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office
look over reports of how McGarvey's father, former Marine pilot Lt. Col. James M. McGarvey,
went missing during a bombing run off the northeast coast of Vietnam, April 17, 1967.


POW/MIA families briefed


By Army Staff Sgt.
Matthew Chlosta
Special to American Forces Press
Service

More than 120 people
whose family members never
returned from military service
gathered at Bethesda, Md.,
recently for an update from
officials of the Defense POW/
Missing Personnel Office.
"A bright orange flash in the
sky," James P. McGarvey said
as he described a pilot's report
of how his father, Marine
Corps pilot Lt. Col. James
M. McGarvey, went missing
during a bombing run off the
northeastern coast of Vietnam
on April 17, 1967.
A pilot reported from 8 miles
away that he saw an orange
flash, but he didn't think it was
an airplane, McGarvey said.
McGarvey and his wife,
Alice, were among at least
122 people who gathered at a
conference center March 28 to
take part in a Defense POW/
Missing Personnel Office
family update briefing. Their
search for McGarvey's father
was among 71 cases represent-
ed: 32 from the Korean War, 19
from the Vietnam War, 17 from
World War II and three from
the Cold War.
The office conducts brief-
ings for family members of
Americans missing from the
nation's past conflicts near
major U.S. metropolitan areas
about eight times a year.
Senior personnel from the
Joint POW/MIA Accounting
Command, known as JPAC,
are featured speakers.
"We have family update
briefs to stay connected with
the families so they know that
the government is still interest-
ed in their cases," Ambassador
Charles Ray, deputy assistant
secretary of defense for POW/
Missing PersonnelAffairs, said.
"A second reason is [to have] a


venue to tell not only the fami-
lies, but [also] the wider public
that we as a government keep
our promise to our soldiers,
sailors, airmen and Marines
that their sacrifices won't be
forgotten.'
"For JPAC, it keeps the fami-
lies' plight in our face," Steve
Thompson, the command's
external affairs officer, said. "A
lot of family members come to
every meeting"'
Families of servicemembers
missing in Southeast Asia have
been coming for years, and
they know their cases well,
Thompson said. But more and
more attendees are relatives of
Korean War MIAs, and a lot are
first-timers, which Thompson
said is an "indicator that more
and more folks are learning
about what we do.'
During the meetings, family
members attend separate ses-
sions tailored to the conflict in
which their loved ones were
lost.
"You know that time is our
greatest enemy," Johnie Webb,
JPAC's deputy to the com-
mander for public relations
and legislative affairs, said to
the family members of MIAs
from the Korean War. Webb
updated the relatives on JPAC's
operations in their ongoing
searches for MIAs and the
challenges they face.
"Every day that passes, wit-
nesses that could lead us to
burial sites and crash sites are
dying, sites are being scav-
enged, sites are being lost
because of ... land reforma-
tion [or] development. So time
is our biggest enemy, without
a doubt," Webb said.
Later, during a Korean War
brief, Webb cited examples of
the extent that JPAC investiga-
tion teams went to in South
Korea last year to get leads on
missing Americans.
"Witnesses are important,
especially in this type of war-


fare with a lot of ground loss-
es," Webb said. "Our investiga-
tion team went in and knocked
on ... door[s] to talk to 403
individuals. Out of those 403
individuals, 11 had informa-
tion that might be related to
American losses. As a result of
that, three sites were added to
our excavation list; that is, we
believe Americans are there.
We need to go excavate the
site.'
In another Korean War mis-
sion, Webb said, a team talked
to more than 1,700 people. Of
those, team members believe
40 may have information about
missing Americans. Two more
excavation sites were added to
the list because of those inter-
views, he said.
During breaks throughout
the day, Armed Forces DNA
Identification Laboratory per-
sonnel swabbed the inside
of several attendees' cheeks
to get DNA family reference
samples.
Lab analysts can use the
samples to match remains
recovered in the future or
current unidentified remains
stored in JPAC's lab. They also
can use the DNA to exclude
a person from group or com-
ingled remains.
"This is really the whole
thing that makes the IDs for
us," Chris Johnson, a DNA
analyst, said. "Without these
family reference samples, we
have nothing else in these sit-
uations, sometimes, to make
an ID for these families."
One family member who
had her cheek swabbed, Amy
L. Goyne, said she found
the meeting "very comfort-
ing." Goyne is the daughter of
Air Force pilot Capt. John S.
Walmsley Jr., a Medal of Honor
recipient, who was killed dur-
ing a mission over North Korea
during the Korean War.

China's military continues to grow, report says


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

Transformation of the
Chinese military has gained
speed, but U.S. officials would
like to see China become more
transparent about military and
security affairs, according to
a report to Congress released
last month.
The report, called Military
Power of the People's Republic
of China, provides some
new details, "but there are
no new, major strategic
insights revealed or capabili-
ties revealed," Pentagon Press
Secretary Geoff Morrell said.
In the report, officials said


that Chinese transparency
has improved over the past
year, "but much remains to be
learned about China's national
and military strategies, prog-
ress and trends in its military
modernization, and the relat-
ed implications for regional
security and stability."
China's increased military
ability stems from the nation's
emergence as an economic
superpower. With 8 percent
per year economic growth,
the Chinese have been able
to invest significant sums in
military modernization.
The People's Liberation
Army budget has more than
doubled since 2000 from


$27.9 billion to $60.1 billion.
Officials believe the Chinese
are underreportingthe amount
they spend on security. The
real budget in 2008 is probably
between $105 billion and $150
billion, they said.
China continues to put
military pressure on Taiwan.
"China's armed forces are
rapidly developing coercive
capabilities for the purpose of
deterring Taiwan's pursuit of de
jure independence'" the report
says. More advanced missiles,
more equipment and better-
trained troops have deployed
to the military regions oppo-
site the island. The military
balance in the region contin-


ues to shift in Beijing's favor,
the report says, and Taiwan no
longer enjoys "air dominance"
over the Taiwan Straits.
The capabilities the Chinese
are putting in place "could in
the future be used to pressure
Taiwan toward a settlement
of the cross-Strait dispute on
Beijing's terms while simulta-
neously attempting to deter,
delay or deny any possible U.S.
support for the island in case
of conflict;' the report says.
China has modernized its

Feds mandate interest limits


By Ryan Charles
Lt., JAGC, USN


Servicemembers paying
interest rates in excess of 6 per-
cent per year may be entitled
to relief under federal law.
Section 527 of the
Servicemember's Civil Relief
Act provides that "[a]n obliga-
tion or liability bearing interest
at a rate in excess of 6 percent
per year that is incurred by a
servicemember, or the service-
member and the servicemem-
ber's spouse jointly, before the
servicemember enters military
service shall not bear interest
at a rate in excess of 6 percent
per year during the period of
military service."
This means that if you
incurred a debt in the form
of a mortgage, car loan, credit
card balance or just about any
other financial liability prior to
entering military service, you
maybe entitled to reduce your
interest payments to 6 percent
during the entire period of
active duty service.
Moreover, in the case of a
mortgage, the 6 percent reduc-
tion applies not only during
active duty, but also for one
year after active duty service.
Note, however, that one excep-
tion the reduction does not
apply to federally guaranteed
student loans.
A servicemember intending
to invoke the 6 percent interest
rate cap must strictly comply
with the SCRA's notification
procedures. The servicemem-
ber must provide the creditor
with written notice and a copy
of the military orders calling
the servicemember to military
service.
Generally, the written notice
should be a letter to the credi-
tor setting forth: the basis of
the servicemember's qualifi-
cation for the 6 percent interest
cap, that the debt giving rise
to the interest payment was
incurred before the service-



POW

From Page 12
"They're very informative,
and they make you feel like
you're important, Goyne said.
"It makes you feel like you're
part of a family, because that
door is still open:'
Goyne said she attended
to find out what progress is
being made on her father's
case, which has been limited
because JPAC is not currently
allowed into North Korea.
"It is truly a global mission,"
Webb said, during his World
War II family update. "We
travel all over the world doing
this.'
JPAC has conducted or


member went on active duty
and a request that the creditor
reduce the servicemember's
interest rate to 6 percent pur-
suant to the SCRA.
The military orders must
show that the servicemember
was called to military service
after the debt or obligation
was incurred.
A court may grant a credi-
tor relief from the interest rate
reduction if the creditor can
showthatthe servicemember's
ability to pay interest in excess
of 6 percent is not materially
affected by reason of the ser-
vicemember's military service.
However, the burden is on the
creditor to prove that this is
the case.
Still, it is a good idea for the
servicemember to include a
statement in the written notice
to the creditor that his or her
ability to pay interest in excess
of 6 percent has been "mate-
rially affected" by reason of
entry into military service.
The SCRA imposes a time-
line within which requests for
interest rate reductions must
be submitted. The service-
member has until 180 days
after termination or release
from military service to submit
written notice to the creditor.
This means that the interest
rate reduction applies retro-
actively where a servicemem-
ber has been paying interest in
excess of 6 percent after being
called to military service.
The creditor should account
for any interest payment in
excess of 6 percent made by a
sevicemember since the date
of active duty.
However, it is preferable to
provide written notice as soon
as possible after being called
to active duty in order to avoid
disputes with creditors and
complications in calculating
over-interest payments.

planned for 39 recovery mis-
sions, 13 investigation mis-
sions and three underwater
investigation missions in the
fiscal year that runs through
September.
JPAC identifies about 70
MIAs per year.
Sometimes people think that
the U.S. government doesn't
care, Alice McGarvey said. "I
think today shows that is far
from the truth. You can hear
the sincerity in [the speakers']
voices."
McGarvey was 6 years old
when his father's plane went
down.
"I remember him," he said.
"I can remember how he was
towards my sisters. He was just
goofy. I thought about [how]
we would bury him and then


Also, it is the servicemem-
ber's obligation to inform a
creditor if military service is
subsequently terminated.
Otherwise, the former ser-
vicemember is liable for any
interest forgiven by the credi-
tor after being released from
military service.
The SCRA mandates that
interest in excess of 6 percent
is "forgiven," and cannot sim-
ply be deferred until the peri-
od of military service ends.
Also, the SCRA broadly
defines "interest" to include
service charges, renewal charg-
es, fees or any other charges,
except bona fide insurance.
This protects servicemem-
bers from creditors trying to
cleverly disguise the forgiven
interest as "legitimate" charg-
es and fees. Moreover, the
SCRA forbids creditors from
taking adverse action against a
servicemember's credit report
for requesting an interest rate
reduction pursuant to the
SCRA.
Remember, the interest rate
reduction does not apply to
debt incurred by a spouse
alone.
As a second practice point,
some creditors are willing to
lower interest rates below 6
percent, even to 0 percent, for
pre-military debt. Therefore,
servicemembers should con-
tact each individual creditor to
find out its policy before send-
ing written notice and locking
in the 6 percent cap.
As a final word of caution,
debts incurred by a service-
member after entering mili-
tary service are not subject to
the 6 percent interest cap and
will incur interest at the nor-
mal percent.
If you believe you might
qualify for an interest rate
reduction, visit a legal assis-
tance attorney. You can call
legal assistance here at Naval
Submarine Base Kings Bay at
(912) 573-3959.

[we'd have] someplace to take
our kids and say, 'This is your
grandfather.'"
"You just don't forget," Alice
McGarvey said.
The McGarveys said they're
going to review the informa-
tion theywere given, formulate
more questions, and attend
the annual DPMO Southeast
Asia Government Brief sched-
uled to be held in Washington,
D.C., in July.
Tears streamed down Alice
McGarvey's face as her hus-
band explained why it is so
important to him that his
father's remains are returned
home.
"Just to know he is back
where he should be, it would
give final closure;' McGarvey
said.
