HURREX/ Citadel Gale 2015 April 20-May 1 From Chris Steinnecker NASP N7 Mission Readiness

Hurricane season is right around the corner and Navy Region Southeast (NRSE) is getting ready for 2015’s HURREX/ Citadel Gale training exercise. The exercise will run from April 20 to May 1 in preparation for this year’s hurricane season.

HURREX/Citadel Gale 2015 will prepare afloat and shore commands in the Atlantic and Gulf Coast Navy regions to maintain the ability to deploy forces – even under adverse conditions, and to respond to destructive weather threats.

Onboard NAS Pensacola, predictions for the

2015 season are being viewed with caution.

“Mixed signals for amount of hurricanes this season; bottom line: be prepared,” said NASP Emergency Manager Burt Fenters.

Fenters recommends bookmarking some websites for hurricane readiness: • In Escambia County, http://www.myescambia. com/beready • In Santa Rosa County: http://www.santarosa.fl. gov/emergency/ • U.S. Navy: http:// www.ready.navy.mil/ HURREX/Citadel Gale 2015 will involve two simulated storm systems developing and intensifying to hurricane strength, threatening the Caribbean Islands, East Coast and Gulf Coast regions.

Hoskins, a strong proponent of military involvement with

local communities, thought as long as the DoD-wide observance of SAAPM was being conducted by all military instal-

lations, it would be beneficial to join with local officials to have a bigger impact on the community.

“We in the military have made great strides in addressing the issue of sexual assault,” he told the audience. “We train multiple times during an individual’s career about all the behaviors that constitute sexual assault, the reporting options and that we are aware of all these so we can properly handle these issues, these crimes that occur in our

Bright ideas to save the planet will get special attention this week at Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP).

April 22 marks the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, a grassroots effort to increase awareness of environmental issues, and the Naval Exchange (NEX) and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Department are presenting special “green” events.

Some of the bright ideas will be provided by the NASP energy team at the Public Works Department (PWD).

“We are excited to be a part of the events and have giveaways and information handouts to pass out,” said NASP Installation Energy Manager Sabrina Williams.

About 35 members of Team Red, White and Blue (RWB) from Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola, Panama City Beach, Fort Rucker and Colorado participated in the March 21, 2015 Blue Angel Rock N Fly Half Marathon and 5K. Also known as the Eagles, members of the

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Keith Hoskins Public Affairs Officer — Patrick J. Nichols The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super Hornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.

Gosport is an authorized newspaper published every Friday by Ballinger Publishing,

military and communities.”

Hoskins went on to explain the military’s efforts in emphasizing bystander intervention to “engage the strength of our numbers by preventing sexual assaults from actually occurring.”

He went on the explain how thorough and far-reaching the military intervention, prevention, reporting process and follow-through with victims is and how it is evolving in its importance.

Hayward praised the efforts of the Navy and its involvement with the community on the issue. “Every two minutes, someone is sexually assaulted in the United States, and unfortunately, many victims don’t report their assaults out of fear,” he said. “Sexual assault is an issue in every community, and with this joint proclamation, our community is taking a stand in support of awareness and prevention.”

Hoskins reemphasized the importance of NASP military personnel and the relationship with the community. “The military here is more than temporary residents here; we’re citizens of this neighborhood,” he said.

At the proclamation signing, the water in a fountain at Plaza de Luna in Pensacola was dyed teal-green, the official color of SAAPM. While the Department of Defense continually emphasizes and trains on sexual assault awareness, April annually is a month of more emphasis on the subject. This year’s SAAPM theme is “Eliminate sexual assault: Know your part. Do your part.”

I’m blinded by puppy love personality disorder Story, photo

by Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

A week ago, my life was normal. I showered regularly. I ran errands. I cooked and cleaned. I watched TV. I slept in a bed.

And then, my husband and I drove from our base house at Naval Station Newport to a cranberry farm in Massachusetts, and picked up a wriggling ball of fur that has changed everything.

We felt a twinge of guilt taking an eight-week-old Labrador retriever away from his littermates, with whom he had spent his days snuggling and tussling.

But ever since the death of our beloved dog Dinghy, who saw us through deployments, PCS moves and an overseas tour, we knew another dog would enhance our family. So we wrapped the puppy in a blanket and nuzzled him all the way home, happily ignorant of the chaos that was about to ensue.

We named him “Moby,” a tribute to our tour of duty in nautical New England. However, other apt labels have occurred to us this past week, as we have learned the multiple facets of our new puppy’s complex personality.

How to submit a commentary

“Puddle Maker” has christened every rug in our house, and we’re now considering buying stock in puppy training pads. “Kibble Gobbler” inhales scoops of puppy food as if he is a starving prisoner, usually with one paw plopping in his water dish. “Spawn of Cujo” has an active period after meals, involving relentless ankle biting, broom chasing and upholstery shredding. During this time, we can’t approach “Staple Gun” for fear that, what might seem like a sweet lick on the nose will turn out to be a needle-teeth lancing of that sensitive area just inside the nostrils.

“Sweater Snagger” sinks his fishhook nails into us when we carry him down the porch steps for potty time. Although he seems to know what is expected of him, “Little Con Artist” enjoys delaying the potty process long enough that we are forced to stand out in the cold while he innocently plays in the mud.

After following me around the house biting my shoes, “Limp Noodle” insists on taking a nap while laying over my feet. I sit motionless so as to not incite further mayhem, while the housework doesn’t get done, food doesn’t get cooked,

Moby is the newest member of the Molinari household.

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, has been a military spouse for 20 years (and running). She also writes columns for Military Spouse magazine and a blog at www.themeat andpotatoesoflife.com.

She and her family are stationed at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. and I don’t shower. This is generally the time that our base neighbors come by to see the newest member of our family.

They all remark at how calm “Little Faker” is, and ask me

why I’m looking so bedraggled these days.

After the fourth night sleeping on the floor beside the dog crate, I needed a break from “Puppet Master.” Just like the dog training book instructed, I gave him a special treat and put him in the playpen we had assembled in the kitchen. I praised him, closed the gate, and left to drive the girls to school.

Fifteen minutes later, my base neighbor called. “What are you doing to that poor dog?” he blurted, explaining that he could hear incessant yelping through the thick walls of our shared duplex.

I rushed home to find that “Mr. Passive Aggressive” made a “deposit” in his playpen in protest over being left alone.

But that is not the half of it.

“Canine Picasso” also smeared it all over the floor, rug, bed, gate, toys and himself. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the morning scrubbing and disinfecting, and although everything looks clean, we may need to deworm the children just in case.

At first, I thought Moby was the one with the personality disorder, but I realize that it’s me who has lost a grip on reality. I have transformed from Navy Mom to Pin Cushion, Pooper Scooper, Feed Bag and Personal Slave. I’m so delusional that, despite multiple contusions, baggy eyes and a complete loss of hygiene standards, I am utterly blinded by love.

Call me crazy, because in my mind, Moby is “The Cutest Thing On The Face of This Earth.”

outlasted the other teams to capture the win. Following the competition, Commander of Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), Rear Adm. Michael S. White, presented participation certificates to all 25 schools and then presented overall trophies to the top five units at an awards ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

“We’re so excited to have the (NJROTC) Nationals back here in Pensacola,” said White, who also observed the drill events and visited with units during the competition. “As you watch these young men and women compete here, it gives you great faith in the future of our nation. Whatever leadership role they pick, they are ready.”

“This is the best possible feeling I could have imagined,” said Cadet Capt. Jake Woods, 18, a senior and the cadet regimental commander of the Boca Raton NJROTC unit. “I know that there is no higher goal for any cadet in this unit than to win this national championship. What drives us all year long every year is coming to this place and winning this championship and we are so glad we were able to pull it off.”

Boca Raton last competed in the nationals in 2011. This year, they piledup 5,215 points to capture the title. Troy High School (Fullerton, Calif.) came in second with 5,084 points.

Centennial High School (Las Vegas), the 2009 and 2010 national champion, placed third with 4,900 points; Westview High School (San Diego) was fourth with 4,862; and Shawnee Mission North High School (Kansas) finished fifth with 4,815 points. Last year’s winner, Escambia High School, finished 11th with 4,666 points and Pine Forest finished ninth with 4,700 points.

Retired Lt. Cmdr. Rodney Bolling, senior Naval

Science Instructor (NSI) at Pine Forest said that making it to the Nationals is always a focus of his unit.

“It’s an honor for the cadets to represent the city and their school at such a prestigious event and to be able to compete at this level,” said Bolling. “They have shown their dedication and commitment to working hard after school so they could be here.”

This is the fifth year in a row that Escambia High School has made it to the finals. Retired Marine Sgt. Maj. Andre Francis, Escambia’s assistant NSI, credits their success to hard work and desire.

“From day one, we’ve been working on what I call a dynasty,” said Francis. “We have been striving for perfection in what we do. The kids love to compete to continue that dynasty. Many of our graduates come back to watch those following in their footsteps.”

“It’s been unbelievable to see these kids and these units perform so well and dedicate themselves to this competition,” said Dr. J.D. Smith, director and NJROTC program manager. “The cadets are performing at an extremely high level and we couldn’t be happier with this year’s competition.”

In addition to regular classroom instruction, NJROTC cadets participate in a number of extracurricular activities throughout the school year and during the summer months that are designed to stimulate learning by hands-on experiences and to reinforce the program’s curriculum. Cadet extracurricular activities include community service projects, drill competitions, academic competitions, visits to naval installations, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) training. There are 580 NJROTC units worldwide with more than 90,000 cadets participating.

Recruits receive electronic tablets as part of test for future

By Sue Krawczyk Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, Public Affairs

G

REAT LAKES (NNS) – The Navy’s top enlisted Sailor, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike D. Stevens, was on hand to distribute the first electronic tablets (e-tablets) to the Navy’s newest recruits at Recruit Training Command (RTC) April 7.

The launch of the eSailor initiative is a pre-pilot, beta testing to two divisions of 70 recruits to help determine how well the device integrates into the training environment at RTC. The e-tablet will contain RTC curriculum, including training videos, texts and access to professional development websites.

“As we exploit wireless, mobile technology through the eSailor initiative, I am certain there will be challenges, and we will learn lessons along the way, but we cannot let challenges of security, accessibility, and cost hold us back,” said Stevens. “We must embrace these challenges and work through them in order to remain relevant. I do not believe we have an option ‘not to’ embrace mobile technology if we are going to be relevant in our ability to function in the 21st century and beyond. We must do this and it must start now.”

The goal of the e-tablet is to increase the quality of work and life of recruits and recruit division commanders (RDCs). The etablets will use technology already used in elementary through high schools across the nation and incorporate the RTC curriculum, creating a seamless educational transition from civilian to Sailor.

In 2014, Stevens proposed the eSailor initiative to Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), which oversees RTC. Since then, the NSTC-RTC team has worked to develop protocol for the use, care, and programming of the tablets.

“Today is the first step in establishing an

effective mobile technology program at RTC,” said Rear Adm. Richard A. Brown, commander, NSTC. “RTC and NSTC have partnered together to review training requirements, infrastructure demands, and technological capabilities to realize MCPON Stevens’ vision.”

The pre-pilot will consist of a six-month study, serving as a rolling start to obtain qualitative data in a cost-effective manner.

When a division graduates, the tablets will be collected and redistributed to collect three cycles of data, about 450 recruits in total.

“We are continually looking for ways to improve training at RTC,” said Capt. Doug Pfeifle, commanding officer, RTC. “As the Navy’s only boot camp, we have an opportunity to impact every Sailor going to the fleet. We are an increasingly technological Navy and our boot camp must not only reflect, but precede the needs of the Navy. As the fleet continually advances in technology, our recruits and staff must embrace this shift as well. Implementing the eSailor initiative will help recruits interface with technology from day one.”

Recruits will be instructed on the proper use, regulations and care of their tablets. At the end of each day, tablets will be collected and placed within charging stations where they will be secured until the following day when they will be redistributed.

“I think this is going to help our training because in today’s age everyone is so used to having technology right at their hands

that we’ll be more accustomed to study on a tablet because we're used to it,” said SR Karlie Breht, 19.

Currently, recruits receive more than 100 hours of classroom and applied training.

Much of this curriculum will be included on the tablet for recruits to access and study.

For training purposes, the e-tablet for the pre-pilot will include: Navy-owned RTC curriculum, a digital version of the Bluejacket’s Manual, and various other training courses.

The tablets will also be used to increase the quality of life of recruits as this technology will facilitate communication with family and friends during time normally allotted to them for letter writing.

“There is no better place to launch eSailor than where we launch every enlisted Sailor in the United States Navy, Recruit Training Command, here in Great Lakes,” said Stevens. “Our new Sailors and the professional staff of RTC will leverage

this technology for training, while at the same time helping the Navy determine how to proceed into the future, for all Sailors – officer and enlisted.”

RTC is primarily responsible for conducting the initial Navy orientation and training of new recruits. The command is commonly referred to as “boot camp” or “recruit training.” Boot camp is approximately eight weeks, and all 39,000 enlistees into the United States Navy begin their careers at the command each year. Training includes physical fitness, seamanship, firearms familiarization, firefighting and shipboard damage control, lessons in Navy heritage and core values, teamwork and discipline.

RTC is overseen by Rear Adm. Richard A. Brown, commander, NSTC. NSTC oversees 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy. For more news from Recruit Training Command, go to www.navy.mil/local/rtc/.

NBHCWF commissions one of its own Story, photo

by Ens. Andrew Groh NASWF Public Affairs

Navy Branch Health Clinic Whiting Field (NBHCWF) had the rare opportunity to celebrate in an event that has taken place on base only once before in the last 25 years, the commissioning of one of their own into the Medical Service Corps (MSC). HM1 Jesse Hernandez took the oath of a naval officer during a commissioning ceremony March 16 in NBHCWF’s central lobby. Hernandez joined the NBHCWF team in December 2010 as a hospital corpsman second class and promoted to first class in June 2013.

Navy officer commissions are earned in sev-

eral ways such as the United States Naval Academy (USNA), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), Officer Candidate School (OCS) and others. However, a newly minted lieutenant junior grade, Hernandez will be attending a commissioning program similar to OCS known as Officer Development School (ODS).

ODS is one of five officer accession programs operated at Officer Training Command Newport (OTC) in Newport, R.I. According to the official OTC website, the purpose of this course is to provide staff corps officers, and several restricted line designators with training necessary to prepare them to function in their role as a newly commissioned

naval officer.

During his time at NBHCWF, Hernandez earned his bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration from Ashford University where, upon completion, he applied to the Medical Service Corps In-Service Procurement Program (MSC IPP), a program for active-duty enlisted personnel that meet the eligibility criteria for MSC officers, in hopes of being picked up for ODS in 2012.

After receiving a letter of non-selection to the program, Hernandez continued his education earning a master’s degree in public health from National University in California.

Hernandez reapplied to the MSC IPP Program in October

Newly commissioned Lt. j.g. Jesse Hernandez shares his first salute with NBHCWF lead chief petty officer HMC Steven Fearnside.

2014. From a pool of roughly 70-150 applicants to this program from across the nation, Hernandez was selected as one of 15 accepted to the pro-

gram annually.

Hernandez will attend ODS starting May 10, and, upon completion, he has follow on orders to Naval Submarine Medical Re-

search Laboratory, Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Conn., where he will begin his new career as a United States naval officer.

Date Safe’s ‘Can I Kiss You?’ educates, entertains with SAPR message

By Ens. Margaret Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

When some Sailors and Marines receive an e-mail that says “required SAPR training,” they prepare themselves for another dull PowerPoint driven seminar. That may have been the familiar feeling of some students in Training Air Wing Five as they filed into the Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) auditorium April 9. However, any such feelings quickly vanished and the auditorium filled with laugher and voices as the students interacted and participated in the “Can I Kiss You” seminar presented by Mike Domitrz.

Domitrz is one of the most popular speakers on college campuses and military installations across the country. He reaches out to more than 30,000 people a year and shares his message of asking for consent, making smarter choices with partners, supporting survivors of sexual assault, and intervening when danger is present at parties or group settings with alcohol.

Brought to NASWF for Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM), Domitrz created an interactive and responsive atmosphere for the

service members in the audience.

Domitrz’s first interactive scenario was one involving alcohol. Many times predators will use alcohol as a tool to get their victim in a state in which they cannot say “No.” If a potential partner is not in a mental state to say no, then how can they possibly be in the right frame of mind to say “Yes?” He was able to open the audience’s eyes toward recognizing dangerous situations involving alcohol and led them through possible ways to intervene.

It is important not to dismiss a situation as minor. Many people say to themselves, “It’s none of my business, I don’t know the situation, or I don’t even know that person they are a stranger to me why should I care?” Domitrz teaches people to recognize a scenario and call it what it is. A potential sexual assault or rape is about to occur and someone needs to step in and take appropriate action.

Domitrz explained to the audience about a group mentality, getting a group of friends together to approach a possible assault situation so the predator isn’t as threatened by a one-on-one approach.

By picking up on body language and how a person responds to an attempt to mediate a dangerous situation the group

can determine if it was even a dangerous situation to begin with. Typically, someone who means no harm will welcome the help from a group to make sure the intoxicated patron gets home OK, while a defensive and agitated person may have had predatory intentions. A key teaching, because it teaches young people what to look for and how to respond.

How someone asks for consent was also a major focal point of the seminar.

Domitrz focused on the conversation between two people about to engage in anything physical. This is where the question, “Can I kiss you?” becomes so important. Domitrz expressed that yes, this may be an awkward conversation to have with someone, maybe there is a fear of rejection or “killing the mood,” but it is a worthwhile conversation that two mature people should be able to have. If one can’t bring oneself to talk about consent with their partner, then they probably shouldn’t be engaging in an action that requires consent in the first place.

Giving a person the choice is what is so important about actually asking to move forward. People tend to misread signals all the time; body language is the worst form of concrete communication between couples. Just because one pa-

tron thinks the other is into them based on the signal they are receiving does not validate that they actually are.

Just “going for it” as Domitrz worded it, is not giving the partner a choice; that is forcing the partner to physically defend themselves rather than having the opportunity to verbally say “No.” People like confidence, and people like to physically hear their partner wants to do something with them. This verbal confirmation can enhance your intimacy rather than kill it.

“It was hands down the best SAPR training I have attended. (Domitrz) had a really good perspective and he put a positive spin on an otherwise bleak subject,” one female attendee stated. “It also opened my eyes that it is not just men who need to ask for consent, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation one must ask and confirm consent with their partner before proceeding.”

“I want my message to really stick with people, I am working to shift these seminars from what not to do, to what to do,” Domitrz said. “By teaching people how to react in potentially dangerous situations, I am giving them the skill set and allowing them to gain confidence in order to implement these skills.”

SecNav’s Earth Day message /////////////////////// Released by Ray Mabus Secretary of the Navy

The Department of the Navy’s (DoN) FY14-16 Transformation Plan highlights “Presence” as what the Navy and Marine Corps are all about.

Undersea, on the sea, in the air, and on the ground, our Navy and Marine Corps team, uniform and civilian, represents our nation around the world.

Your actions each and every day contribute to our ability to maintain presence by embracing a sustainable future for our top priorities – people, platform, power and partnerships.

This Earth Day we recognize and celebrate DoN’s sustainability efforts with the 2015 Earth Day theme, “A Sustainable Future Begins with You.” Earth Day events first took place April 22, 1970, when concerned citizens joined together to raise public awareness of the effects of chemicals and industrial processes on our air and water supplies.

The first Earth Day helped inspire a shift in consciousness about the importance of protecting our planet’s resources.

During the last 45 years, Earth Day has grown into a major worldwide event that inspires

sustainable resource use.

Just as the citizens in 1970 were concerned for the future of the environment, today we plan a sustainable future for the DoN to accomplish its mission in a resource constrained world. So we make an extra effort on and around April 22, to contribute to a better, sustain-

As you have done on previous Earth Days, participate in a recycling program, or a beach or neighborhood cleanup.

Maintain and enhance your efforts to reduce waste and use energy wisely. Whatever action you take, remember that local efforts like yours help us to ensure we have the resources we need to continue our global mission into the future.

U.S. Army diver receives citizenship during NDSTC training From Naval Diving Salvage Training Center Public Affairs

P

ANAMA CITY, Fla. – Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center military divers witnessed a special ceremony that is not part of the normal curriculum recently – a flag presentation in honor of one of their own earning a U.S. citizenship status.

In front of his peers and fellow dive-school classmates, former Italian infantry officer, now U.S. Army Specialist Ricardo Micheletto and U.S. citizen, was presented with the national ensign flown at NDSTC that day.

Micheletto earned U.S. citizenship status during a naturalization ceremony in Panama City, Feb. 20, just days before the NDSTC ceremony was held.

“It was a surprise, I certainly did not expect it,” said Micheletto.

Micheletto is assigned to Alpha Company, 169th Engineer Battalion at NDSTC and will obtain a 12D military occupational specialty as an engineer diver. His journey to U.S. citizenship began when he met U.S. Army intelligence Soldier, Specialist Sunny Weber while both were serving in Afghanistan.

Micheletto was responsible for providing ground escort

and protection for U.S. Navy explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams while they rendered-safe improvised explosive devices (IED) on the battlefield.

It was his second tour in Afghanistan. Prior to his deployment, Micheletto attended the Basic Officer Leadership course at Fort Benning, Ga., with his current company commander, Army Capt. David Guerdan, in 2009 and it was there that he said he fell in love with the U.S. Army.

“I loved it; it was my dream to join the U.S. Army,” he said.

Micheletto returned from deployment, resigned his commission and moved to the United States. In 2012, he married Weber. As an immigrant, Micheletto enlisted in the U.S. Army and was selected for the Army Corps of Engineers dive program.

“It is one thing for an immigrant to come to the United States, adopt our culture, our

customs and our way of life – but to join the United States military and fight for what we believe in takes a person of special character,” said NDSTC Commanding Officer Cmdr. Hung Cao, who himself came to the United States from Vietnam as a refugee.

Micheletto’s U.S.-born wife and former Army specialist said she is proud of her husband.

“Honestly, sometimes I wonder if he’s not more American than me,” said Weber. “He appreciates things that we take

for granted because we are here all the time.”

After the NDSTC ceremony, fellow service members in attendance shook Micheletto’s hand, and one by one, congratulated him on becoming an American.

“We don’t just make them divers, we make them Americans,” said U.S. Army dive instructor at NDSTC Staff Sgt. William D’Angelo at the event.

“Only 1 percent of our nation serves in the military,” said Cao. “It speaks highly that a man is willing to put his life on

the line for a country he just adopted.”

Micheletto also holds a master’s degree, speaks four languages and, at 34-years old, will continue to finish dive school training alongside other military members perhaps 15 years younger. Upon graduation, he will be minted a U.S. Army deep sea diver during the year coined as the Year of the Military Diver.

SAPR If you are a victim of sexual assault, it is not your fault. Help for victims of sexual assault in the DoD community is a call, click or text away: The SafeHelpline provides live, one-on-one crisis support and information by trained staff. Call: (877) 995-5247; click: www.SafeHelpline.org; or text: 55-247, CONUS; (202) 470-5546, OCONUS (may be extra charges for OCONUS).

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program provides prevention, intervention and a 24/7/365 response to non-intimate partner adult victims of sexual assault. Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victim to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions and/or transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/her chain-ofcommand, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC, or others. NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition. Restricted reporting allows a victim to have a confidential report, which does not trigger command or law enforcement notification and the victim may have a SAPR VA and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim may disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care professional and/or a chaplain.

To contact the NASP 24/7 Victim Advocate, call 449-9231/2. For the Civilian Victim Advocate, call 293-4561. To contact the duty SARC, call the SARC cell at 554-5606.
