Southeast Region decentralizes HR

By MC1(SW) Greg Johnson Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs

Rear Adm. John C. Scorby Jr., commander, Navy Region Southeast (CNRSE), presented five Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Awards and 44 letters of appreciation to members of the CNRSE Human Resources (HR) Program during a ceremony onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville April 17.

The ceremony was held four days prior to the decentralization of the HR program, which will re-assign the majority of CNRSE HR specialists from region headquarters to major commands on board installations throughout the region.

Additional information regarding the specific processes and procedures of regional delivery of HR services will be

published in the near future.

“Our CNRSE team is proud of the outstanding services the HR program has provided over many years across the Southeast Region,” Scorby said.

“Meeting our Navy mission would not be possible if it were not for the strong support we’ve received from each member, especially in the areas of labor employee relations, equal employment opportunity, worker’s compensation, and staffing and classification for more than 4,000 customers in theater.”

Prior to decentralization, approximately 75 HR specialists throughout the region fell under CNRSE responsibility.

As of April 21, 57 of them transitioned to other major commands, such as Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Fleet Forces Command and Naval Education and Training Command. The new Navywide model will position HR specialists at each major command, whereas CNRSE had previously been servicing about 75 percent of all civilian employees in the region.

The decentralization plan was created last year by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs with the goal of delivering more streamlined and customer-focused support.

According to Sarah Overstreet, CNRSE Human Resources director, the transition comes with distinct benefits.

“One of the major advantages to this change in HR servicing is that HR professionals will be able to focus only on the major command to which they are assigned and will not be required to focus on several different commands at the same time,” she said. “This focus provides the opportunity for better customer

Despite the rainy weather, crowds of people showed up to the Earth Day Fair on April 19 at the Navy exchange (NEX) Mall located off Highway 98.

Dozens of booths lined the breezeway to support Earth Day and promote environmental awareness.

Local organizations such as Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA), Gulf Power and the Choctawhatchee Bay Alliance provided information and free “swag” to

explain how fair-goers can do their part and protect the environment.

Artists and farmers also attended the fair, selling everything from peanuts and culinary herbs to woodcarvings and pottery.

There’s a “new” movie on the watch list at the Naval Air Station (NASP).

USO volunteer Elizabeth Beaver recently donated a DVD of the classic film “The Wings of Eagles” to the NASP USO center.

Several scenes filmed aboard NASP are featured in the 1957 film, which stars John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, and Beaver, 76, was a young Navy WAVE assigned to the photo lab at NASP at the time.

The movie is based on the life of Frank “Sprig” Wead, a 1916 graduate of the United States Naval Academy who went through flight training and earned his wings at NASP in 1920.

Beaver got the idea to give a copy of the film to the USO after she found several black-and-white photographs that she had packed away and forgotten. She did not take the photographs herself; they were given

to her by some of the official Navy photographers she worked with. She also compiled a notebook featuring copies of her photographs along with facts about the movie that the USO can keep on file.

Beaver hopes Sailors and Marines who are stationed here now will enjoy watching the film that brings back memories of her early days at NASP.

Beaver graduated from boot camp in Baltimore, Md., in 1955 at age 19 and she knows what it was like to leave home to join the Navy. She remembers making the trip to Pensacola on the train by herself.

“I was scared to death, and starving,” she said. “I was afraid to get off the train and get something to eat.”

Doolittle Raiders honored locally

By Joy Samsel NETC PAO

The extraordinary service of 80 men was remembered April 18 at the tribute to the Doolittle Raiders on the 71st anniversary of the Army Air Force squadron’s flight from a Navy aircraft carrier to bomb Japan during World War II. At a luncheon held at the Northwest Florida Fairgrounds in Fort Walton Beach, Rear Adm. Don Quinn, commander, Naval Education and Training Command in Pensacola, addressed more than 600 people who had come to honor the remaining Raiders.

Of the original 80 members of the Doolittle Raiders, four are still living and three attended the events scheduled over several days in Fort Walton Beach, including luncheons, dinners and a parade.

Raiders present included Lt. Col. Richard Cole, co-pilot with Col. Jimmy Doolittle; Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, an engineer and gunner on crew 7; and Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, engineer for crew 15. The fourth Raider who was unable to attend is Lt. Col. Robert Hite, co-pilot of crew 16.

“I couldn’t have picked a better group of people to go into combat with,” said Cole, when asked about his fellow Raiders. “I think the young people today have the same spirit we had. They also have better training and a higher level of

service through specific, command-focused HR servicing and better partnerships with customers.”

The new model may have advantages over a centralized approach, but the transition itself presented some logistical challenges. It required extensive planning and preparation to pack and organize hundreds of files and casework, Overstreet said.

During the ceremony, Scorby expressed his appreciation for each of the program member’s efforts through-

out the process.

“This was obviously no easy feat, as you completed the transition while still serving customers and providing the services required with your everyday workload,” Scorby said. “Were it not for your willingness to work long hours and pay attention to a host of details, this decentralization process would not be possible, and for that, our Navy owes each of you a debt of gratitude.”

While decentralization is a major transition for HR specialists throughout the region, civilian employees should not expect to see many changes in the way they

NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Keith Hoskins walked around the breezeway visiting the various booths.

“The Department of the Navy is celebrating Earth Day and I want to make sure that people are aware of not only the environmental responsibilities that we have, but also the responsibilities of ensuring that we look at energy conservation in our homes and on our base,” Hoskins said. “That we reduce pollution as well, and also evaluate our recycling program so that we can recycle and ensure that we’re thinking about the future of our young children and the future of our earth.”

Children from the NAS Pensacola Child Development Center (CDC) took a field trip to the fair and visited the ECUA booth where they learned how to properly dispose of fats, oils, and grease, abbreviated as “FOG.” The ECUA FOG team had an informational presentation and visual displays – such as a mock clogged pipe loaded with FOG – to show how and why these byproducts should be disposed of properly.

The study, which was done by a tri-service working group, was done to identify methods to improve health care delivery to beneficiaries at MTFs. From January 2011 to June 2012, more than 37,000 beneficiaries participated in the survey.

“We have a great team and we all work well together,” said Capt.

Cathy McCrary, director of nursing services at NHP. “We also have great patients.”

As the director for Nursing Services, McCrary can take extra pride in the hospital being rated so highly. The No. 1 influence on patient ratings during the survey was “nursing courtesy and respect.”

While nursing was one of the highlights of the survey, the overall care of the patients falls on the entire staff of Naval Hospital Pensacola from the moment an expectant mother walks through the doors.

“We are dedicated at this hospital to giving patients a personalized experience,” said Lt. Jeannette Andrews, department head for OB/GYN. For patients enrolled with a Medical Home Port team at the hospital, they have the comfort of being with their assigned provider for the majority, if not all of the delivery process, and the care after the delivery. One of the strengths of the Medical Home Port process used by NHP is the continuity of care patients will receive with

Vol. 77, No. 17

their assigned provider. If a patient is not able to see their assigned provider, they will see a member of their Medical Home Port team. This process increases familiarity between providers and patients and gives the patients the satisfaction of being seen by a team that knows their health care needs, but that care does not end with the birth of the child.

“We (the hospital), expect our physicians to deliver the baby and care for that child as he or she grows older,” said Cmdr. Timothy Mott, director of the Residency Program at NHP. Providing such high-quality care to patients could not be accomplished without the entire staff’s collective effort; teamwork is a concept echoed throughout the command.

“We are a team,” said Andrews.

“We have excellent rapport between nurses and physicians.”

“It’s a team effort,” said Mott.

“We constantly meet and share team concepts.”

This focus on teamwork has resulted in excellent care for all patients at NHP, not just for expecting mothers. While the staff of the hospital has taken pride in the results of the survey, what’s most important to them is the continued care for patients visiting the hospital.

“I’m proud to be associated with this hospital because we give great care,” said McCrary. “We (the hospital) want patients to come back here, and if I was ill, I’d want to be a patient here.”

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.

It will be celebrated because in today’s mind-numbing barrage of digital information, we Americans often need to be reminded of who we are.”

Quinn was invited to speak about the Navy’s role in the Doolittle Raid and how it initiated a chain of events that led to the American victory at the Battle of Midway.

In June 1942, units of the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps joined in action against a Japanese invasion fleet at Midway Island. Fighting for three days, the American forces won.

“Adm. Nimitz called Midway ‘a glorious page in our history.’ It was certainly a turning point for naval aviation,” said Quinn. “The strategic impact of this relatively insignificant tactical action literally drove the Japanese navy to the pivotal battle at Midway.”

“HR services will continue regardless of the change in the delivery model. There may be a change in the HR professional who currently provides HR services to them, but the new servicing model will include a primary and a secondary HR professional for each functional area,” she said.

Most services under the new system will be provided from NAS Jacksonville, but HR professionals will be responsive to phone calls and e-mails and are available to meet via video teleconference, she added.

NASP quickly became a homeaway-from home for Beaver, who remained in the service until 1958, when she married Jason Beaver, an aviation structure mechanic stationed at what was then Corry Field, and became a Navy wife.

She raised two children and lived in several military towns up and down the East Coast including Jacksonville and Norfolk, Va., but she was happy when the family settled back in Pensacola.

“I loved Pensacola with the beaches and everything,” she said.

Movies are popular at the center said Heidi Blair, director of USO Northwest Florida.

“We end up having movies going all day long every day,” she said.

The center’s film library includes about 130 DVDs, but “The Wings of Eagles” is special because it has a connection to one of the volunteers, she said.

“You get to educate these new recruits on a little bit of history, a little bit of film and a little bit of what volunteerism is all about,” Blair said. “It is really cool thing that Elizabeth has helped make happen here.”

The film caught the attention of AWF Jonathan Lozano during its first screening at the center.

“It seems like a pretty interesting movie,” he said. “But I’ve only watched a few min-

Capt. Maureen Padden, the commanding officer of Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP), also has a special connection to the film.

Padden and her family live in the historic quarters aboard NASP where several scenes for the movie were filmed.

“I was told (about the movie) when I moved in,” she said.

“Particularly because they noticed that my maiden name was Maureen O’Hara and I have red hair.”

After learning about the film’s connection to their house, the Paddens bought a copy to watch and they spotted some familiar scenes, she said.

Adoption: How to navigate adding to your family

By Lt. Jacquelin Leonard Pensacola Legal Assistance Office, RLSO SE

What is adoption? Adoption is a process that cuts all legal ties between the adopted child and the birth parent and transfers parental authority to the adopting parent. While child adoption is the most common, it is also possible to adopt an adult. Common reasons are for inheritance purposes, to formalize an existing parent/child relationship, or to provide perpetual care for an adult with a disability.

Stepparent scenarios are unique. Unless a stepparent officially adopts a stepchild, both biological parents of that child keep their parental authority. However, the stepchild is still eligible for DEERS enrollment if the stepparent is the active-duty member. Adoption is different from guardianship or temporary legal custody.

Adoption is permanent – when a child is legally adopted, that child is treated like a natural child born to that family who can inherit real and personal property.

Whether adopting domestically or from a foreign country, there are two methods of adoption: 1) agency adoption or 2) direct placement/independent adoption. An agency adoption involves a prospective parent working with a public agency or licensed private agency who is tasked with ensuring that the prospective parents are

matched to the child’s background, capabilities and needs.

An independent adoption is when the birth parent places the child into an unrelated home by either identifying an adoptive parent or by using an attorney or adoption facilitator. An independent adoption cannot take place without termination of the birth parent’s parental rights.

Independent adoptions also require full compliance with the law, meaning that it is crucial to seek legal counsel before trying to adopt a child via non-agency adoption. To illustrate how important it is to be aware of a state’s lawful process for adoption, some state laws prohibit a hospital from releasing an infant to someone other than a natural parent; and other states make it a crime for the adopting parent to pay for any expenses associated with the direct placement of the child.

The adoption process Each state has its own adoption laws and eligibility criteria that will dictate your options.

Adoption across state lines means that you must comply with the laws in both states. If you choose international adoption, each country has specific guidelines and requirements.

That being said, the basic steps for adoption are: • Petition: Adoptive parents sign and file a petition for adoption either in the county where the child lives, where the adoption agency is, or where the adoptive parents live.

• Consent: If the adoption is

by consent, the birth parents must acknowledge their consent in writing. Some states require children older than 12 to consent to their adoption.

Under certain circumstances, parents have the ability to withdraw consent. If the adoption is based on abandonment, then a separate petition for termination of parental rights must be filed with the court.

• Order of reference and home study: An order of reference is filed and refers the case to a licensed private adoption agency or public agency to conduct a home study. Home studies typically include the background history of the adoptive parents and home situation, recent medical examinations, and other pertinent information.

• Interlocutory decree: After the home study is filed, the court issues an interlocutory decree temporarily giving the adoptive parents legal custody of the child. Before a final order is issued, there may be a second home study to assess the placement progress.

• Final order: The final order of adoption from the court makes the child legally one of the family. After the final order, the child’s birth certificate is amended to list the adoptive parents as the birth parents.

Reimbursement: Activeduty members of the armed forces who adopt a child younger than 18 (including adoption of a stepchild) are eligible for reimbursement of up

to $2,000 per child for “qualifying expenses.” For multiple adoptions, the maximum reimbursable amount is $5,000 per calendar year. If both adoptive parents are active duty, only one member is eligible for reimbursement. To qualify, the adoption must be arranged through one of the following: a governmental agency with responsibility under state or local law for child placement; or a private adoption agency authorized by state or local law to place children for adoption.

Qualifying expenses include placement fees, legal fees, and medical expenses of the biological mother and child. To make a claim for reimbursement, the adoptive parent must submit DD Form 2675 to DFAS and also be able to show documentation of agency involvement, substantiation of expenses, and finalization of the adoption.

Claims for reimbursement must be submitted no later than one year following the date the adoption is finalized.

See DoDInst 1341.9 and OpNavInst 1754.4 for further details on reimbursements for adoption expenses. Service members who adopt a child in a qualifying adoption are also eligible to receive up to 21 days of non-chargeable leave of absence to be used in connection with the adoption. The absence must be taken within 12 months following the adoption and is granted under a commanding officer’s discretion.

Where to go for help Adoption is a legal process that potentially involves state and international laws.

Additionally, an adopting parent’s age, marital status and years of being married, ethnicity and religion, and even income are all factors that may impact whether or not they can adopt. Consult your local legal assistance office for guidance when planning to add a member to your family.

If you need assistance with a legal issue, you can contact the NAS Pensacola Region Legal Service Office at 161 Turner St., Bldg. 624, Suite B, second deck. The phone number is 452-3730.

During alcohol awareness month, Sailors commit to abstain from drinking

By Lt. Jonathan Bacon NATTC PAO

Almost 500 Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) staff members and students volunteered to give up alcohol April 12-15.

Capt. James Daniels, NATTC’s commanding officer, says after reading about Alcohol Awareness Month, sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) in the March issue of Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention’s (NADAP) E-gram, he was inspired by the idea to raise alcohol awareness at the learning center by having volunteers spend an alcohol-free weekend and sign letters of commitment.

“I feel that the students and staff who signed the commitment letters to spend 72 hours, Friday through Monday, alcohol-free is an excellent example for their peers to emulate,” Daniels said.

“I’m impressed with the turnout from this past weekend and look forward to seeing more people participate over the rest of April.

I’d like this momentum, which reinforces the responsible use of alcohol, continue into the future as we all work collectively on changing the misuse and abuse of alcohol in the Navy.”

AN John Hart, a 21-year-old student training to become an aircrewman, abstained from drinking to promote responsible drink-

ing to his friends and classmates.

Hart grew up with an alcoholic father, saying he understands more than most the trouble associated with the abuse of alcohol.

“Growing up in a family with alcohol problems, I saw firsthand what too much alcohol can do to a person,” said Hart. “I don’t want to be that way. I want to be an example that you can enjoy life without alcohol.”

AN Erik Olson, a 22-year-old student in the Aviation Te c h n i c a l Training ( A T T ) course, signed the statement Friday afternoon when his roommate brought one back to their barracks room.

“It was a way for me to support a good cause, and do something good for the other Sailors in my barracks,” he said.

Olson spent his alcohol-free weekend enjoying everything Pensacola has to offer.

“I visited the mall with a friend, ate sushi, enjoyed the sunny weather Saturday in a downtown park with friends, went rock climbing, and went on several runs,” he said. “I like to wake up early go out and do everything that I can on Saturdays and Sundays. You just can’t do that if you’re sleeping in late after a night of hard drinking.”

NATTC’s Executive Officer, Cmdr. Vic Bindi, says he participated because it’s important to raise public awareness about the use of alcohol and how it may

affect Sailors, Marines, their families and the command.

“Leadership needs to be seen setting the example on responsible alcohol use,” Bindi said. “If we are to change the culture of alcohol abuse in the Navy, it has to be on all levels.”

that alcohol misuse and abuse have on America as a whole.

NATTC’s alcohol-free weekend directly supports Navy Personnel Command’s “Keep What You’ve Earned” campaign, that encourages Sailors to make sensible drinking choices and

reminds them that just one bad decision while drinking alcohol can jeopardize everything they’ve earned. Sailors involved in alcohol-related incidents face

serious consequences, including: loss of rate or pay, separation from the Navy, and civilian consequences, such as fines and jail time.

Since its commissioning in 1942, NATTC has been committed to delivering training and increasing readiness within the Naval Aviation Enterprise.

NATTC graduates approximately 15,000 Navy and Marine students annually. The majority of the student population is made up of enlisted personnel attending “A” schools, where they are learning the skills and knowledge required to perform as apprentice level technicians in the fleet. The center also provides airman apprenticeship training, personal financial management, and shipboard aircraft firefighting training. Advanced schools provide higher level technical knowledge for senior petty officers, and technical training for officers in aviation fuels, carrier air traffic control center operations, amphibious air traffic control center operations, aircraft launch and recovery equipment and shipboard aircraft fire fighting.

Additionally, NATTC supports the fleet by providing team training to ships personnel during their pre-deployment workups, to ensure that shipboard personnel have the proficiency required to take their ship on deployment, after a prolonged period in port.

Bowen assumes command of HT-8 From NASWF PAO

With a simple salute and a request to assume the duties of command, Cmdr.

Matthew Bowen stepped in as the newest commander for the Navy’s oldest helicopter training squadron.

Bowen relieved Cmdr.

Paul Bowdich in the top spot for Helicopter Training Squadron Eight (HT-8) during the April 4 change of command ceremony at Naval Air Station Whiting Field. Cmdr.

Robert Sinram will take over as the executive officer for the unit.

The change of command is a time-honored Navy tradition that enables the entire, assembled command staff to observe the exchange of authority inherent in the commanding officer’s position. It also provides an opportunity for the outgoing officer to express his appreciation to the crew and to thank them for their efforts, which Bowdich certainly did.

“I am going to throw out some numbers: 28,100, 16,163, 14,448 and 214.

Since I took over as the (commanding officer) in December 2011, the squadron has flown 28,100 mishap-free flight hours, consisting of 16,163 sorties, while completing 14,448 (evolutions). As a result, 214 student naval aviators completed flight training and were designated unrestricted naval aviators. These are impressive numbers, if I do say so myself, but I can only take credit for a few of the flight hours. It is the men and women of HT-8 that deserve all the credit,” he stressed during his remarks.

These numbers exceeded Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) production requirements for helicopter pilots by five percent. Additionally, during Bowdich’s tour, the squadron received a grade of “outstanding” during the annual CNATRA Flight Instructor Standardization inspection, volunteered more than 460 hours to the community, and enhanced safety standards that will endure long after his departure.

Cmdr. Paul Bowdich walks through the sideboys at the conclusion of the Helicopter Training Squadron Eight change of command ceremony April 4. His next tour of duty is aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71).

Bowdich received the Meritorious Service Medal for his professionalism and devotion to the squadron and the Navy.

“I know sometimes being in command can feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, especially as a training command (commanding officer), as careers are made and ended here all in a single day. Great commanding officers possess a combination of qualities that enable them and their units to be successful on every front: inspirational leadership, dynamic management, and dedication to their people. These are the virtues that I have seen in Cmdr. Paul Bowdich,” Capt. James Fisher, commander, Training Air Wing Five, stated before presenting the medal.

Bowdich leaves the

“Eightballers” to take up the post of navigator aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71).

Bowen takes command of HT-8 after nearly 18 years of naval service.

Like Bowdich, he is also a graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and served tours aboard the USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41) and the USS Bataan (LHD 5) before transitioning to naval aviation. Following his winging (also as a helicopter pilot with HT-18), he reported to HC-6 in Norfolk, Va. Bowen followed that tour with service as part of HSC-26, HC3, HS-10, HS-8 and HSC23. He also worked as the flag lieutenant to the commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force; director of personnel for the commander,

Combined Joint Special Operations Air Component in Balad, Iraq; deputy executive assistant to the deputy chief of naval operations; and special assistant and speechwriter to the vice chief of naval operations, before earning his master’s degree at the Naval War College.

Bowen is now the 56th commanding officer of a squadron that traces its history back to the beginning of naval helicopter training.

Originally Helicopter Training Unit One, the squadron began instructing helicopter students in late 1950, and was redesignated as HT-8 in 1960. For nearly 63 years, the squadron has lived by the motto “the best helicopter pilots in the world are trained here.”

Throughout that timeframe, HT-8 has rubbed

shoulders with history as the unit provided familiarization training to Mercury and Gemini astronauts, trained the Apollo 11 crew, and is still the only Navy helicopter squadron to be commanded by a Medal of Honor recipient, Cmdr. Clyde Lassen.

In keeping with tradition, Bowen kept his remarks short, but still ensured that he praised the students and staff who continue the unit’s remarkable legacy.

“Cmdr. Bowdich left us a tremendous squadron, and it is an honor to continue this work,” he said.

“You all come together when we ask you to and you all surge when we ask you to. We know you have the load, and we trust you. Thank you for everything that you do.”

s k n a h t e th of a n o i t a n e e fr National Military Appreciation Month started as a simple idea: to gather America around its military family to honor, remember, recognize and appreciate those who have served and those now serving, and to know the history behind it all.

This idea was then legislated twice to achieve greater national attention and recognition.

The first legislation passed in the United States Senate in 1999 designating May as National Military Appreciation Month. With the support and sponsorship of Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and more than 50 veteran service organizations, this important and timely legislation tells service members that their country has set aside an entire month to honor, remember and appreciate them. In April 2004, more comprehensive legislation was passed by unanimous consent of Congress, that May is National Military Appreciation Month and urges the president to issue an annual proclamation calling on the American people to recognize this special month of May through appropriate ceremonies and events.

The military has played a major role in the development of the country chronicled through unbending honor, dedication to duty and love of country. Unfortunately, it is common for many families to be neither aware of, or value and understand the service given by those in their own families, many of whom are of the “Greatest Generation.” Schools no longer teach these military events that turned the course of history.

Some people think we are slowly losing our connection to our own American history.

Names such as Pearl Harbor, San Juan Hill,

Civil War, Belleau Wood, Continental Army, 38th Parallel, Berlin Airlift, Tet Offensive and Normandy are rapidly losing their significance to the general American population, particularly our future generations – our youth.

Because most holidays/observances commemorating historical military events have become little more than three-day weekends lacking focus on their original purpose, this month is needed to remind us of the sacrifices and the history we, as Americans, have been privileged to participate in throughout the past 231 years.

Through appropriate means and incentives, federal, state and local governments and private sector entities are invited to participate in this special month and to encourage everyone to sponsor and participate in programs via multiple venues, giving the nation a time and place upon which to focus, draw attention and express appreciation and thanks to the military family.

Due to military deployments worldwide protecting national interests, Americans are being asked to serve. Employers are being asked to accommodate lengthy absences by key employees. The military represents the highest caliber of professionalism and technology. They are asked to willingly risk their lives on a moment’s notice; should Americans not willingly and openly recognize their contributions and their sacrifices as well?

Check status of Family Care Plan to honor children From Navy Personnel Command Public Affair

MILLINGTON, Tenn.

(NNS) – One way Sailors can honor their children during the Month of the Military Child is to review their Family Care Plan and update as required, officials said April 19.

A Family Care Plan is a group of documents, including a Family Care Certificate (NavPers 1740/6), Family Care Plan Arrangements (NavPers 1740/7), and legal documents such as custody or separation agreements, custody and support orders, divorce decrees or related written agreements.

“Due to the nature of naval service, Sailors must be ready to deploy throughout the world, on short notice, and be able to fully execute their military duties,” said Bill Harris, Navy Family Care Plan program manager.

“Maintaining a current Family Care Plan for your children and adult dependents reduces stress and strengthens a deployable asset for the command.”

The NavPers 1740/6 must be signed by the Sailor, the Sailor’s spouse if dual military, caregivers and the commanding officer. Documentation of a Family Care Plan is required under any of the following conditions: • A Sailor with primary or

Advertise in the Gosport Call Simone Sands at 433-1166 ext. 21

shared physical custody of a minor child or children who is not married to the other natural or adoptive parent of the minor child or children.

• Both members of a married dual-military couple where one or both have primary or shared physical custody of a minor child or children.

• Sailors who are legally responsible for an adult family member who is incapable of providing for themselves in the absence of the Sailor.

• Certain family circumstances or other personal-status changes resulting in a Sailor becoming legally and primarily responsible for the care of anoth-

er person.

Commands should review Family Care Plans annually with their Sailors.

Sailors must submit a new or updated Family Care Plan upon reporting to a new duty station, change in caregiver circumstances, or change in personal or family circumstances, such as birth or adoption of a child, or assumption of sole care for an elderly or incapacitated family member.

“Failure to maintain an adequate Family Care Plan may result in administrative separation from the naval service,” Harris said.

A command Family Care

Plan Coordinator can assist Sailors in developing a care plan.

Sailors may find additional assistance in completing a care plan from the Fleet and Family Service Center FFSC and base legal assistance office.

More information can be found in the Family Care Plan instruction, OpNavInst 1740.4D and at the Navy Personnel Command website’s Family Care Plan section at http://www.public.navy.mil/ BUPERS-NPC/SUPPORT/ READINESS/Pages/Family CarePlan.aspx .

Flinging a fish across the Alabama-Florida state line is a spring tradition at Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key. Known as “the Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party,” the 29th annual Interstate Mullet Toss, which starts today, typically draws huge crowds.

The torpedo-shaped fish are a local favorite. They are often seen leaping out of the water and skipping along the surface, and you will find fried, baked, broiled or smoked mullet on the menus of many local restaurants.

There are numerous categories for contestants, including men, women, children and physically challenged. Celebrity tossers will be featured at noon each day.

Contestants fill out a registration form and pay a $15 entry fee to toss a mullet weighing approximately 1 pound. All tossers will receive a mullet toss T-shirt. Top finishers in each category get trophies and Flora-Bama gift certificates.

The rules are simple: No gloves or sand can be used when throwing the mullet. Contestants pick a mullet out of a bucket, and they have to retrieve the mullet and toss it back into the bucket after the throw. Mullet are thrown from a 10-foot circle down a designated alley. If contestants step out of the circle during the throw or if the mullet lands out of bounds they are disqualified.

Each year, the event generates more than $20,000 in charitable donations. A contribution is made for each fish flung.

And there is plenty of fun for spectators including bikini con-
