Construction to begin May 18 at back gate By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

Drivers should take note of construction signs going up at the Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) back gate off Blue Angel Parkway. The signs are the first step in a sixmonth construction project to install an automated vehicle gate (AVG), said Sam Lee, construction manager with the NASP Facilities Engineering and Acquisition Division (FEAD). Work is scheduled to begin May 18, he said. The gate will remain open, but drivers will need to be prepared for unexpected traffic delays, said NASP Security Director Paul Wright. Lee has worked out a construction schedule that should help make things go smoothly. Work will not begin until after the peak traffic period of the day has ended, he said. “During the construction, we are not going to let the contractor start until 8 a.m. every day, so between 5:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. there is not a problem,” Lee said. But after 8 a.m., traffic flow will be reduced to one lane in and one lane out. Six to eight workers will be active in the area, Lee said. There should not be any big hold ups,

but there will be other challenges, Lee said. At times, there will be open trenches in the area and cars will have to travel over the trenches on steel plates. Wright said it will be an active construction zone and drivers will need to use caution. “If you have to stop, don’t get out of your vehicle,” he said. Drivers also are encouraged to use the NASP Main Gate on Navy Boulevard when possible. The installation of the automatic gate is part of a Navywide mandate to free up security personnel for other duties. Several other bases already have automatic gates, Wright said. “In an effort to reduce manpower and to save government funding, we are automating this gate,” Wright said. “However, in the meantime we are continuing to man it as we always have.” After completion of the back gate project, security personnel will remain on duty and the automatic function will be used when traffic is light, Wright said. Another upgrade also was recently completed at NASP’s gates, Lee said. LED lights were installed. “It is an energy saver and it also improves the lighting on scene,” Lee said.

The North American B-25 Mitchell bomber and “USS Hornet” (CV 8) setting made Doolittle Raider, retired Lt. Col. Richard Cole, smile. So did the 600-plus service members that lined up to meet him at a “Doolittle Raider Celebration” May 8 at Forrest Sherman Field onboard NAS Pensacola. NAS Pensacola’s Training Air Wing Six (TraWing Six) and the Air Force’s 479th Flying Training Group (FTG) joined together to welcome Cole and hold a question-and-answer session with the World War II flyer at Sherman Field’s Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance De-

Troops to Teachers job fair tomorrow (May 16) By Kim Stefansson ECSD Public Affairs

The Escambia County School District (ECSD) will be hiring teachers; a lot of teachers, for the 2015-16 school year, and as a result is hosting a Teacher Job Fair tomorrow, May 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Booker T. Washington High School, 6000 College Parkway in Pensacola (across from Sam’s Club). “The goal for the job fair is to identify candidates to fill an anticipated 200-400 teacher positions before the start of the 2015-2016 school year,” said Vicki Gibowski, ECSD director of middle school education. “The district is interested in hiring a wide range of teachers; new teachers

right out of universities and colleges, experienced teachers interested in moving to Pensacola and positions perfect for those looking to start a second career such as service members coming out of the military.” Gibowski added that there will also be education support positions available for the new school year including classroom and administrative support, transportation and maintenance. “The sooner we can get the teaching and other positions hired, the sooner they can be assigned to schools, acclimate and attend summer training opportunities.” ECSD offers support for brand new,

Johnson, director of operations, 451st Flying Training Squadron, said. “Like we did 73 years ago during the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo. We’re here celebrating that success to forge the relationships here at NAS Pensacola. “And what better way to bring a team together than to have the American hero and the copilot for the No. 1 aircraft on the Doolittle Raid, Lt. Col. Dick Cole, here to tell us his story here today,” Johnson said. “Those 80 brave men; all the sacrifices they made – with the peril they knew they were going into, knowing they were not going to be able to land back on the (USS) Hornet ... that kind of selflessness makes (Cole) one of our heroes,” Johnson said. The Navy-U.S. Army Air Corps Doolittle Raid was a one-way mission; the Navy could launch the usually land-based bombers, but it was risky: they were too large to return to land on the carrier. All the men on the mission were volunteers, and some were captured and executed by the Japanese. Doolittle himself returned to a hero’s welcome and a Medal of Honor. During the question-and-answer session, Air Force Capt. Meghan O’Rourke and TraWing Six’s Lt. Cmdr. Collin Kightlinger took turns asking Cole about his recollections of the raid. In a clear, steady voice, Cole related details about the historymaking strike, from his decision to volunteer, to the dangerous takeoff from Hornet’s deck and the bailout in China. “I was a second lieutenant when I heard about the mission,” Cole said. “It was on the squadron bulletin board. They had a place to write your name, which I did. … The whole group volunteered. “We were sent from Columbia, S.C., to Eglin Field, where we did all our training. We were not told anything, except that we had volunteered for a dangerous mission. We knew we were going to take off from a carrier, because they had marked (that) out on one of the runways at the auxiliary field. “We knew we had 498 feet to be airborne with a load of bombs. We practiced that from a dry runway so our confidence was pretty high that we could do it,” Cole said. In early April, Hornet and its task force set sail for Japan. The mission plan was to fly on after the strike and land at friendly bases in China, but accidental discovery by a radioequipped Japanese fishing boat necessitated a change in plans: an early launch at once, and from farther range: it added another 170 miles. The decision was made, and after a harrowing short-run takeoff, the mission was under way. “Once we got airborne and headed toward Tokyo the weather was bits of rain here and there,” Cole recalled. “We changed course a couple of times to stay away from (ships); we were afraid they might be armed.” “It was about four hours flying time and we approached Japan about 20 miles north of Tokyo, and then it was a bright sunny day like it was today. The Japanese islands were

very neat; there were people on the beach; fishermen picking up their nets and so forth like nothing was happening. “Being in the first aircraft, we were a little more fortunate than the people following us, because the Japanese had just had an air raid (drill). They had an airplane called the ‘Nell,’ which had two tails and resembles a B-25. Our target was Northwest Tokyo; we had incendiary bombs and since the original plan had us over Tokyo at night, we were to light up the target for the other airplanes following us,” Cole said. “Was there flak over the target?,” asked O’Rourke. “More than that, did you hit your intended target?” “Yes,” was Cole’s simple, oneword answer – to the audience’s cheers and applause. After overflying Japan, the flight continued to mainland China, where Cole and Doolittle’s crew would have to jump. “A warm front was creating a lot of turbulence and rain,” he said. “But when I jumped, I was surprised at how quiet it had suddenly become – it was like hanging up the receiver on a telephone. Everyone bailed out successfully and no one was injured – except (one man) who pulled the ripcord so hard he gave himself a black eye.” “My chute drifted over a pine tree and I was left hanging about 12 feet off the ground. Couldn’t see the ground because it was completely fogged in. I had to ponder a bit and decided to stay in the tree. I didn’t sleep, but probably dozed. I had a flashlight but couldn’t see the ground. At daylight, the front had passed and I could see I was in a pretty mountainous part of China,” Cole said. “All of us had a compass, and we needed to walk west and not east. So I started walking – all day. I ran into a woodcutter, who was not interested in who I was. And a couple of young people. So I steered away from them, and at dusk I came out (to a village) below. A young Chinese took me into a building that was empty, but for a table – and on the table was a sketch of a two-tailed airplane with five parachutes coming out. In another building, lighted by candles ... off to the side I could see a person. About that time a Chinese soldier brought in Doolittle. ‘Boy, am I glad to see you,’ I said. He was happy I wasn’t injured, and in about 45 minutes (the other crew) were brought in, so we were all together that night,” Cole said. Soon after the men were moved to Hang Yang, China, which had an airfield, and Doolittle and the others were flown out. Cole remained in the China-Burma-India theatre after the raid, flying cargo aircraft until June,1943. His career decorations include the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, Bronze Star Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, and Chinese Army, Navy, Air Corps Medal, Class A, 1st Grade. At the end of the evening, Cole was asked what the proudest moment of his life was. He gave it considerable thought, and finally answered. “It was when I lifted my hand and gave my oath to join the American military,” he said.

Lessons from oil spill help chart course for Coast Guard By Adm. Paul Zukunft Commandant of the Coast Guard

ne of the greatest tests of the Coast Guard’s ability to surge forces in response to a major contingency occurred five years ago when the mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon exploded and caught fire in the Gulf of Mexico. In the immediate aftermath of the explosion, the Coast Guard responded along with others in the maritime community. While the collective response saved 115 people from the rig’s crew, 11 lives were tragically lost. In the ensuing months, thousands of Coast Guard active-duty, reserve and volunteer auxiliary personnel from around the country continued to respond, surging to the Gulf Coast to combat the approximately 3.2 million barrels of oil discharged. For our reserves, it was the largest activation for a domestic emergency in Coast Guard history. They augmented response forces and freed portions of the active component to maintain our daily operations across the spectrum of Coast Guard missions around the nation.

How to submit a commentary

As the federal on-scene coordinator for the spill, I saw firsthand the vital surge capability the citizens of our Nation expect from the United States Coast Guard. Having led part of this monumental response, and now as commandant, I challenge myself by always asking: Are we ready for a major contingency of this magnitude today? Are we ready for another Deepwater Horizon? Are we ready for another Hurricane Katrina? Are we ready for an act of terrorism in the homeland? Are we ready for any of these crises to happen concurrently? And, are we ready to do so without compromising all of our important daily operations? From violence in Central America to increased activity in waters of the Arctic, from the vast and complex reaches

Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Paul Zukunft

of cyberspace to the energy trade now fueled by significant domestic hydrocarbon production, the service is facing a convergence of historical trends demanding the Coast Guard’s focus and resources. And, we must do so in the most efficient manner possible given the austere fiscal climate we face. In best preparing for the future, the Coast Guard must have the right personnel levels. Today, we find our reserve force at its smallest level since 1957. Trends such as this are concerning to me because I

know that we cannot surge leadership in a crisis. We cannot surge experience. And, we cannot hire it off the street when we need it – it will be too late. As such, I am committed to maintaining a proficient, appropriately sized active-duty and reserve workforce with the leadership and experience to meet daily operational demands, while also providing the necessary surge capacity for major contingencies. Proficiency across the service can become diluted as junior people elevate more quickly and we lose vital experience in our more senior ranks – potentially compromising our missions and the safety of our personnel and those we serve. We saw this in the late 1990s when our personnel levels were reduced significantly while still trying to meet our mission demands. It took several tragic events for us to learn that maintaining a proficient, appropriately sized workforce ensures the Coast Guard can respond to incidents of national significance, while also meeting steadystate mission demands in all corners of our country. While a small contingent of responders continue to ad-

dress residual oil issues from the Deepwater Horizon spill, the Coast Guard has applied our corporate knowledge from the spill to bolster our readiness in responding to complex catastrophes. Our efforts to address Deepwater Horizon lessons learned far surpassed any previous service analysis and the overall process significantly enhanced national marine environmental response preparedness setting a high standard for future incidents. More recent surge operations, including Superstorm Sandy and our domestic response to Ebola, relied heavily on our proficient workforce, well-established interagency relationships and incident management concepts gleaned after the spill. As an even wider array of global trends and geostrategic threats reveal themselves, the Coast Guard’s inherent ability to surge to domestic contingencies, in a highly specialized way, in environmentally challenging scenarios – must be maintained. The Coast Guard cannot remain Semper Paratus, “always ready,” through steady-state and surge operations, without a proficient, appropriately sized workforce.

Stress relief: ‘Give Parents a Break’ By Ens. Margaret Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

ave you ever felt overwhelmed, stressed, or just plain worn out? Unfortunately these feelings are all too common for military members and their spouses. The stressors of military life can take its toll on anyone but especially those who are parents. Military families are subject to unique stressors including deployments, remote tours of duty and extended working hours. The “Give Parents a Break (GPAB)” program is designed to give family members a short break from parenting in order to help them deal with these types of stressful situations. The GPAB program is designed to standardize respite care at all installations operating Child Youth Programs (CYP). “We have not had funds for a program such as this for over six years; now that funds have been granted I am so excited to utilize

them to help military parents and families,” Mary Marcoux, Child Development Director (CDC) for Whiting Field, stated. “They do so much to serve our country, it is our turn to give back and provide a stress relief.” This program is aimed towards helping families who cannot afford child care and need monthly assistance, families who have suffered a traumatizing event, or parents that simply need a night off. Some types of respite care are: • Child care for wounded warriors during their medical ap-

pointments. • Families of a fallen warrior are authorized 40 hours of free care after the member’s death. • Families who have been identified by the command as “in need” are provided up to 16 hours of free care a month. • A Child Development Center on each installation will be open for an additional 16 hours a month of afterhours care for different base after hour functions, or category 4/5 “Exceptional Family Member Program” families may qualify for an additional 40 hours of free respite childcare each month. Give Parents a Break is not only for day-time hour care and that is part of the reason this program is so special. Any time the base is putting on an event such as a Navy and Marine Corps Ball, a nighttime MWR function, or any other sanctioned command functions the Child Development Center will provide care for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Also,

parents who wish to use this after-hours service for other purposes – such as dinner, shopping, or just some alone time – may be charged the hourly care fee of $4. It is up to the Child Youth Program (CYP) Director to advertise the times this service will be offered. This gives parents the freedom to not have to worry about a baby sitter for the evening and simply enjoy some time together knowing their children are in good hands. Some of the challenges associated with this after-hours care program is the planning process. Planning is going to be the most important part of making this program run flawlessly. CYP directors will be responsible for the planning and must do so at least three months in advance. This way they can assist parents and coordinate the number of expected children so they can provide the necessary staffing needs events. Marcoux expressed some concerns about an influx of peo-

ple all wanting child care for the same event, or a lot of parent’s deciding they want to attend an event last minute. “Unfortunately we do not want to turn down anyone but the child care center cannot host children we are not expecting,” Marcoux said. “Each room has a limit for the amount of children it can accommodate and we also have staffing limitations. A lack of participation is also a concern for this program, we want families to take advantage of the funds and care being provided.” Despite the concerns surrounding the program, there is a lot that military parents can stand to gain from it. With adequate planning and participation it is expected to help families enjoy some time with their peers and coworkers at base functions, alone time on date night, or just some extra support for daily child care. Give Parents a Break will bridge the gap for families who couldn’t take advantage of Child Youth Programs before and help NAS Whiting Field reach out to more families, making a difference in their lives.

his observation originally began as “Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Week” May 1-10, 1978, to celebrate the contributions of Americans of Asian or Pacific Islander descent – a group of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

The first 10 days of May were chosen to coincide with two important milestones in Asian and Pacific Islanders American history: the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States (May 7, 1843) and the significant contributions Chinese workers made in constructing the transcontinental railroad, (completed on May 10, 1869). In 1992, Congress expanded this observance to a month-long celebration. Profiles of two of the many AAPIs who helped shape this nation: Florence Smith Finch, the daughter of an American soldier and a Filipino mother, was working for the U.S. Army during World War II when the Japanese occupied the Philippines. Claiming Filipino citizenship, she avoided being imprisoned with other enemy nationals at Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila. She joined the underground resistance movement and smuggled food,

medicine, and supplies to American captives. Eventually, she was arrested by the Japanese, tortured and sentenced to three years imprisonment. After serving five months of her sentence, Finch was liberated by American forces. Returning to the United States aboard a Coast Guard transport, she headed for Buffalo, N.Y., her father’s hometown. She then enlisted in the Coast Guard to “avenge the death of her late husband,” a Navy PT boat crewman killed at Corregidor. Seaman First Class Finch was the first U.S Coast Guard Women’s Reserve member to receive the Asian-Pacific Campaign ribbon in recognition of her service in the Philippines. At the end of the war, she was awarded the civilian U.S. Medal of Freedom. Of her wartime activities she said, “I feel very humble because my activities in the war effort were

trivial compared with those of people who gave their lives for their coun-

ported for duty at Camp Shelby, in 1943, the commander of the 100th Bat-

try.” In 1995, the Coast Guard honored her service when it named a building on Sand Island, Hawaii, after her. When Second Lt. Young Oak Kim re-

talion, offered him an immediate transfer because “Koreans and Japanese don’t always get along.” He refused on the spot: “You’re wrong. They’re Americans, I’m Ameri-

can, and we’re going to fight for America.” The young Korean American lieutenant was being both patriotic and pragmatic. He would go on to fight with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the mostly highly-decorated combat unit in World War II. His heroic combat actions in the Pacific conflict earned Kim the moniker, “The Crazy Korean.” He went to fight the Germans, where he was critically wounded. U.S. Rep. Daniel Inouye, a fellow recipient of the Medal of Honor, remembered Kim’s service during World War II, “There was one name that always commanded attention and respect: Capt. Kim’s. He was a bona fide hero.” He went on to say, “When I got to meet him after I entered combat, my respect and admiration of him grew because he was such a fearless leader who, through his deeds, inspired his men.” After World War II,

Kim reenlisted in the Army. He served 30 years, and rose to the rank of colonel before retiring as the most decorated Asian American in the U.S. military. He maintained strong ties to his former comrades in the 100th Battalion. Though he was a Korean American, he was one of the founders of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles and of the Go For Broke National Education Center in California. Decades after retiring, Kim served on the Department of Defense panel reviewing charges of American war crimes at No Gun Ri during the Korean War. In 2005, the consul general of France awarded him the Legion of Honor in a ceremony at the Go For Broke Monument in downtown Los Angeles, a few blocks away from the Bunker Hill area of Los Angeles, where he grew up.

Aviation survival training corpsman is NMOTC’s Junior Instructor of the Year By MC2(SW) Kaitlyn C. Boland Navy Medicine Operational Training Center Public Affairs

Sailor attached to the global leader of safe and effective aviation survival training was named the Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC) Junior Instructor of the Year, April 29, at the Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) Pensacola pool. Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) ASTC Pensacola HM1(NAC/AW) Richard O’Dell was named NMOTC Junior Instructor of the Year during the brief ceremony and was lauded for his efforts by NMOTC Commanding Officer Capt. Paul D. Kane for training more than 5,500 joint war-fighters, qualifying 12 high-risk training instructors and implementing a qualification program which increased instructor readiness by 45 percent last year. “This recognition is the reflection of the dedication of all the ASTC, NSTI and NMOTC instructors who put forth their knowledge and skills so these aviation students know what to do in a ‘worst case’ scenario,” O’Dell said. “The NOTC organization is truly a team effort, and I’m proud to be part of this organization.”

The Naval Survival Training Institute is a component of NMOTC, consisting of a headquarters element and eight Aviation Survival Training Centers (ASTCs) throughout the United States. Through each of these ASTCs, NSTI provides safe, effective and relevant aviation survival training designed to enhance the operational readiness of the joint warfighter. Survival classes offered through the program emphasize mishap and accident prevention, enhancing and sustaining performance and mishap survival. O’Dell said that May is recognized by the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BuMed) as Medical Education and Training Month, the instructors with whom he works are the best the Navy has to offer, and the training they have received over their years of service pays

ical and aviation survival training, reports to Navy Medicine Education and Training Command (NMETC), which manages Navy Medicine’s formal enlisted and officer education and training programs, medical operational training for medical and medical support personnel deploying worldwide, and training that prepares aviators and flight crews to survive in land and water mishaps. NMOTC and NMETC are all part of the Navy Medicine team,

a global health care network of Navy medical professionals around the world who provide high-quality health care to more than one million eligible beneficiaries. Navy Medicine personnel deploy with Sailors and Marines worldwide, providing critical mission support aboard ships, in the air, under the sea and on the battlefield.

Watercross competition coming to Pensacola Beach From Visit Pensacola and Pensacola Sports Association

The Pro Watercross Tour will blast into Pensacola Beach May 16-17. The second-year event, one stop on a nationwide tour, will feature teams of personal watercraft riders competing for money and glory in the Gulf of Mexico. “It’s basically NASCAR on water,” said Pensacola Sports Association (PSA) director Ray Palmer. The PSA is sponsoring the event, which is expected to attract as many as 175 professional and amateur racers to Pensacola Beach. Pensacola will be the second stop on this year’s tour, which kicked off May 9 in Panama City and will wrap up four months – and seven stops – later, at the World Championship in Naples.

Details What: Pro Watercross Tour. When: 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 16-17, with pro events from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Where: Pensacola Beach (Casino Beach area). Cost: Free for spectators. For more information: Go to www.prowatercross.com.

The Pensacola event, which is free to spectators, will include both traditional lap-races and a freestyle competition – with world-class stunt riders performing tricks at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. Jennifer Handler, president of Pro Watercross, said the freestyle competition is usually the crowd favorite.

For the best experience, Handler recommended people arrive early. The professional-class races will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday – with the freestyle competition at noon on both days. “That’s when you’re going to see your best racing,” she said. The event will continue throughout the day, with amateur racers competing until 4 or 5 p.m. Palmer said he hoped the event would be an economic boon to the area, bringing an infusion of cash into the local economy during the “shoulder season” that precedes each summer. Last year’s Pensacola Beach event, which kicked off the tour’s 2014 season, attracted hundreds of spectators and was broadcast nationwide, giving added exposure to the area. Palmer said the event

would be broadcast again this year. Beyond the economic impact, though, Palmer said the race will be a lot of fun. “It’s fast action,” he said. “The racers start from a stall, and when the flag drops, they just go. It’s very spectator friendly and just a blast to watch.” Those who want a reprieve from the races won’t have to go far, though. The annual Fiesta of Five Flags sand sculpting contest will be held May 17 on Pensacola Beach, behind the Gulfside Pavilion. The free contest – a favorite among area families – is open to professional and amateur sculptors of all ages, who will compete to craft spectacular works of art in the beach’s sugar-white sand. For those lacking in artistic ability, the contest is also a spectacle to behold.

The Pensacola Modeleers, a chapter of the International Plastic Modelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Society, are presenting the 2015 Blue Angel Modelfest from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 16 at the University of West Florida Conference Center, Bldg. 22. The contest and exhibition features scale models and miniature figures in 50 categories, including model aircraft, autos, military vehicles, ships, spacecraft, science fiction, historic and fantasy miniatures and gaming pieces, according to Kim Sheldon, Modelfest coordinator. The exposition will feature multiple categories for youth, as well as a model-building workshop for children. Sheldon said several special activities are planned to commemorate the Armed Forces Day, the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

A Civil War reenactment encampment will conduct demonstrations of close order drill and live black powder musketry, featuring authentic period uniforms, weapons and equipment. A static display of restored military vehicles from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm will be located in the conference center parking lot, and seminars will include one presented by National Naval Aviation Museum Historian Hill Goodspeed. Entry fees for contestants are $20 for adults, and $10 for youth ages 17 and younger. The public is welcome. General admission is $5 per person; and free for children younger than 12. Sheldon said the event is being held as a benefit for the Wounded Warrior Project and its rehabilitation, counseling and mentoring programs for wounded veterans and their families.

COMMAND LINES

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.
