Students board ‘USS Ambition,’ bring flight academy’s dream to life Story, photo

by Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

The controls at the National Flight Academy are set to full steam ahead after the commissioning of the mock aircraft carrier, the “USS Ambition,” May 11.

The $45 million facility made a good first impression last week as a big crowd of supporters and dignitaries gathered to launch the next generation of learning. Special guests included two legendary astronauts – the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, and the last man on the moon, Gene Cernan, who is also a retired Navy captain.

“It is a pretty neat place,” said astronaut Mark Kelly, who was on hand to make the keynote address. “I think the kids that go through it are really going to enjoy it and get something out of it and, hopefully, be motivated to pursue careers in math, sci-

ence and engineering.”

The commissioning was a proud moment for the academy’s staff including Program Director Chip Yarbrough.

“The kids we’ve got here this week are the kids who go through our aviation classes at Escambia and Milton and the school systems out there, and they have been just spot on with their flying skills,” he said.

He said the students, who have been flying in their classrooms for the last year, were able to adapt quickly to software for Ambition’s custommade aircraft.

“I am very impressed with these kids,” said Yarbrough, who logged eight years with the space camp and aviation challenge programs at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., before joining the flight academy’s staff. “They are just model citizens, they are outstanding.”

The “Ambition” is now

in full program mode.

There are still spots available for summer sessions but all goals have been met, according to a spokesperson for the academy.

An inaugural group of 48 Ambition Experimental Pilots (AXPs) from Escambia and Milton high schools completed the first official three-day session and a second group of AXPs from area schools is scheduled for duty aboard the Ambition over the Memorial Day weekend.

Utilizing naval aviation as a motivating theme, the academy has created an educational program for seventh to 12th graders that concentrates on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills.

However, the academy is more than just academics. A fully immersive gaming environment is the centerpiece. The AXPs are divided into squadrons and compete against each other

in real-life scenarios that combine the thrill of flight with critical thinking techniques.

The interior is modeled as a modern aircraft carrier, complete with ready

rooms, intelligence and operations centers and extensive simulation space.

The facility is designed to make the experience as real as possible for the stu-

dents, said retired Vice Adm. Gerry Hoewing, president and CEO of the National Flight Academy and the Naval Aviation

“The EOD Memorial Foundation funds the memorialís maintenance and assists EOD families with scholarships and travel expenses to and from the annual memorial ceremony,” said Foundation President Dan Tompkins. “We work closely with the services to document and verify that the member was killed during an EOD-related incident over the past calendar year to be eligible to earn a place on the memorial’s wall.”

Oversight and management of the EOD school is the responsibility of the Navy, with joint-service manning by the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and the Air Force.

The school’s mission is to train officer and enlisted personnel in the best methods of detection, identification, render safe, and disposal of explosive ordnance and related devices.

Atlantic fleet training and testing Draft EIS/OEIS available for public review; Navy invites comment From Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command

NORFOLK, Va. – The U.S. Navy has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS) for Navy training and testing activities conducted in the waters off the east coast of North America and in the Gulf of Mexico.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and executive order 12114, the Navy prepared the Draft EIS/OEIS to evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with military readiness training and research, development, test and evaluation activities conducted within the Atlantic Fleet Training and Testing (AFTT) study area.

The Navy proposes to conduct training and testing activities – which may include the use of active sonar and explosives – primarily within existing range complexes and testing ranges along the east coast of the United States, the Gulf of Mexico, Navy pierside locations, port transit channels and the lower Chesapeake Bay. The proposed action also includes activities such as sonar maintenance and gunnery exercises conducted concurrently with ship transits and which may occur outside Navy range complexes and testing ranges. The proposed action includes pierside sonar testing conducted as part of overAcademy from page 1

Museum Foundation.

“They have the sights, the sounds, the smells, the touches – it is all there,” he said.

The academy is authorized by, but not endorsed or financially supported by the United States Navy or other components of the military or DoD. It is funded by private investment through the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation.

And although Ambition is not a real ship, all of the Navy traditions have been observed.

“Traditionally, the third and most important ceremony in the history of a ship is the formal commissioning, which admits her to the fleet,” Yarbrough said.

“Although Ambition is not a ship, all milestones have been symbolized as if she were a naval vessel.”

The commissioning ceremony entitles her to fly her commissioning pennant and to be designated an official training facility, Yarbrough said.

During the ceremony, the watch was set, the pennant was raised and the AXPs were ordered to man the ship to bring her life.

Uniformed officers presented flowers to the five sponsors – wives and widows of the original academy visionaries – Kathy Coonan, Nancy Fetterman, Ry Furlong, Charlie Hoewing and Phyllis Rasmussen.

haul, modernization, maintenance and repair activities at Navy piers, as well as new construction and overhaul at Navy-contracted shipbuilder locations.

The AFTT Draft EIS/OEIS updates the science and analyses needed to continue critical Navy training and testing in the study area. The Draft EIS/OEIS combines multiple previous studies into one, thereby incorporating expanded areas, and new science, platforms, and activities including ship shock testing on the east coast. Results from these studies show Navy activities continue to have negligible affects on marine mammal and turtle populations, including endangered species. Monitoring of Navy activities over the past several years supports these conclusions.

The Navy is accepting comments throughout the 60-day comment period, which started May 11 and runs through July 10. All comments must be postmarked or received by July 10, to be considered in the final EIS/OEIS. Written comments may be submitted via the project website at www.AFTTEIS.com or by mail to: Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic Attn: Code EV22 (AFTT EIS Project Managers) 6506 Hampton Blvd.

Norfolk, VA 23508-1278

The invocation was delivered

by Father Jack Gray, chaplain of the Catholic communities of Naval Air Station Pensacola and Corry Station.

Making the Ambition a reality involved turning a 20-plus year vision into a reality, Vice Adm. Hoewing said.

“That’s what it is all about,” he said. “That 20-plus year vision started out with guys like Skip Furlong and Bob Rasumssen.

They were the first guys that sort of dreamed the dream of the National Flight Academy.”

People such as the late Vice Adm. Jack Fetterman and the late Capt. J.J. Coonan turned that dream into a vision and then turned it into a program, Vice Adm. Hoewing said.

“And today, the crew of Ambition will bring it to life,” he said. “That’s pretty cool.”

At the commissioning, Hoewing also announced an important partnership for the future. He said a cooperative agreement with the University of West Florida will allow students and faculty to practice their respective fields in hospitality, curriculum development, marketing, information technology and financial management.

Congressman Jeff Miller voiced his support of the project.

“As the member of Congress that represents this facility and the Ambition, please know that I will do what I can to spread the word

All of the fallen warriors added to the wall in this year’s ceremony received their training at the EOD school at Eglin.

“Today we honor the eternal memory and ultimate sacrifices of 18 fallen EOD technicians while recalling the bravery of all our courageous heroes. Their selfless acts of valor saved countless lives,” said Polanin. “Their indomitable spirit will live on in the hearts of those who follow them.”

to all across this great land that this is where we need our young people to come to get the skills and to learn the things that they need to know to advance in life,” he said.

UWF President Dr. Judith A. Bense said there is no telling where the Ambition will take the next generation.

“We all remember where we were when we heard Neil (Armstrong) say those famous words: ‘One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’,” she said. “I think today is a giant leap.

Students who go through the program at the National Flight Academy will go on to do such things as cure cancer, make a chart of the surface of Mars and develop technologies that will revolutionize human existence.

They will solve the problems that don’t even exist today.”

University of Florida President J. Bernard Machen and Full Sail University Co-Chairman and CEO James W. Heavener also spoke at the commissioning. The academy plans to distribute a $125,000 matching scholarship fund totaling $250,000, which was made possible by the University of Florida and Full Sail University.

The highlight of the ceremony was the speech by Kelly, a retired Navy captain who flew four shuttle missions including the final flight of Endeavour in May 2011.

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.

craft landings, 39 combat missions and more than 50 days in space, Kelly is one of the country’s most experienced pilots. He was thrust into the national spotlight in January 2001 when his wife, U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot during an attack in Arizona.

Like every naval aviator, Kelly went through flight training in Pensacola and he has good memories of his time here.

Kelly joked that it was great to be in Pensacola, “where gravity is a nice reliable one ‘G’, where I can breathe oxygen at will, and where, it would appear, most of you are not space aliens.”

He reminisced about his flight training 26 years ago – the year the movie “Top Gun” came out.

“I very quickly came to realize that I was not Maverick,” he said.

“You know I was not a particularly good pilot. And after about a year, the Navy sent me off to land on a ship for the first time. And when the Navy sends you to land on a ship for the first time, there is nobody crazy enough to go with you. It is just you by yourself with this empty back seat.

“You know I barely passed, but I stuck with it. You know I am certainly a prime example of someone who was able to overcome a lack of aptitude, with practice, persistence and the drive to never give up,” he said.

He said what helped him was having role models such as Gene

“Thank you for your selfless sacrifice,” Schwartz said.

“You provided such deeply personal meaning to the service of your loved ones. We will forget neither their courage and self-sacrifice, nor the price that continues to be paid – that will always be paid – by those whom they left behind.

Your loved ones’ commitment to making the world a safer place inspires us all, and their sacrifice strengthens our lasting commitment to that enduring ideal.”

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 Godʼs Port), where the voice tube was invented.

“Now, I am pretty excited about this place,” he said. “It’s like being on a brand new nuclear aircraft carrier, and the kids that come through this door are going to be motivated and excited about what they see here.

“I imagine you are going to see tens of thousands of kids go through here and maybe some percentage of them will go into those engineering and math fields,” he said.

Kelly was excited that he was going to leave a little piece of his own history at the academy.

Last February, the academy auctioned off Kelly’s 2011 Breitling Centennial of Naval Aviation limited edition Airwolf watch to help raise money for youth scholarships. The auction winner donated the watch back to the academy.

“That watch has taken 230 orbits or so, spent 15 days in space and traveled about 6.5 million miles and it will be on display here for every kid who comes through these doors,” he said.

He added that his wife, who continues to focus on her rehabilitation, was not able to attend the ceremony but she sent a message.

“Her message to all of you is: Study, work hard and be your best,” he said.

Following the ceremony, there was a buzz of activity as guests enjoyed a reception and took tours of the facility.

The EOD Memorial was originally built by EOD technicians in Indian Head, Md., the location of the first EOD School.

In the healthcare battle, who is looking out for you?

By Emily Benner Gosport Staff Writer

I’m no stranger to the woes of healthcare and other life hassles that are necessary.

Upon moving to the Gulf Coast, I left a stateof-the-art medical facility, and I can now say with confidence that I took advantage of its patient-friendly systems.

Since moving here and having to deal with healthcare and insurance worries and doctors visits (the list goes on), I know that those kind of things are almost never simple. It seems that calls to pre-register for an appointment can lead to frantic calls to your health care provider wondering about the cost and coverage of this-and-that procedure, and I think that has become the norm.

It seems to me that poor office-relations with patients, impatient administrative assistants and over-worked office nurses are being given the “nod” to continue treating patients in that same way.

Why? Because we allow it.

Well, good people of Pensacola, I’m a marketing student and a public relations graduate. I want to make a state-

ment right here and now: you do not have to stand for that.

Now, make no mistake, I am not advising anyone to ditch their doctor because they made you wait 30-minutes after your scheduled appointment. Try to keep in mind that hours and staff are being cut everywhere, and the staff helping you are strapped for time and stressed out. No, if you have a doctor you like, then do not leave them unless forced.

My main qualm with healthcare these days, lies with the individual offices – specialties. I get the feeling that so many of them feel “entitled” to the patients who see them, that they don’t stop to think: “Hey, maybe I shouldn’t be so rude, this person’s insurance is paying my salary after all.”

Once you find a local general practitioner, get a referral, make an appointment (and who knows how many weeks that will take), register and sit in their waiting room for 30-40 minutes, the real test begins. I’ve compiled a short list of things that I find are good in meeting with a new doctor (as I have my fair share of experi-

ence in this matter).

1. How long did they make you wait once you were taken back to the exam room? Long waits can be really frustrating, whether you are in the waiting room, or back in the exam room.

I will sometimes let this

immediately concerned.

5. Did they listen to you? It goes without saying that this is really important. You are at their office for a reason, and they need to show you some respect and listen to your issues. I mean really listen. I can’t

slide if an office is extremely busy. It happens; I can overlook it.

2. How wer e you greeted? If this is a new doctor, they should take a minute to get to know you.

They see hundreds of patients, and it’s important that you make an impression with them so that they remember you for your second visit.

3. Did they remember you/your case if this is a subsequent visit?

4. How much time did your actual doctor spend in the room? If they just breeze in and out, that is an immediate turn-off for me. I want to know that my doctor is reading and understanding my history, and if they aren’t making an effort to do that, I’m

s t a n d when a doctor cuts me off and starts jabbering a plan at lightning speed before I feel that they’ve fully understood my issue. I know that they are busy and may not feel they have time to listen, but this is a critical problem that I have found. It is their job to listen. As you are the only person who lives in your body, you must be its advocate. No one else will.

Now, I know this whole column seems like a “healthcare bashing,” but I really just want to emphasize that you do have the power, and unbelievably, the right, to demand good service.

Keep in mind that they are working for you. They are providing a service that you pay

for, just like a mechanic.

If you had to get an oil change, and the garage staff was rude to you, it’s likely that you wouldn’t go back. The same applies here. And you shouldn’t allow poor service because it is a hassle to switch doctors.

Now, in defense of heathcare offices everywhere, I’ve also decided to add a “how to be a good patient” list: 1. Don’t be r ude.

Trust me, I know how frustrating a long wait can be. You have to get to work. You have to pick up the kids. There are sick people coughing and hacking all around you and all you can think about is dousing yourself in hand sanitizer. I’ve been there. I think it is safe to say that the individuals working at that office have been there too, and most of the time, they are doing everything they can to do their jobs. Just be patient.

2. Ask a lot of questions. If you leave a doctor’s office not having a clue what just happened, you have made a huge error. When you are in the appointment, ask as many questions as you can. Interrupt. Ask for definitions or drawings.

You have the right to know those things, so if you are leaving and don’t have a full understanding, that is your own fault.

3. Be “in the know.”

With Google and WebMD all over the Internet, information is readily available for almost anyone. I’m not saying to get yourself spun up about a bee sting, but you can’t be armed with questions for your doctor if you don’t understand why you are there in the first place.

These are all important things that you, as patients, should know or already practice.

Nothing is more frustrating than having to find a new doctor. You are used to being handled a certain way by the same group of people. It is my belief that your expectations should not change when you move from one office to another. It is your health, and I don’t think that dealing with a consistently grouchy secretary, a frustratingly unknowledgable scheduling assistant or uncaring doctor is worth it.

I believe that in today’s world, the best person to be looking out for your health, remains to be, you.

Astronaut Shepherd gets ‘wings of gold’ Story, photos

by Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer Space shuttle astronaut Bill Shepherd has always been able to make friends in high places.

That skill was praised during a ceremony last week at the National Naval Aviation Museum to induct Shepherd as Honorary Naval Aviator No. 30.

“Bill Shepherd has enhanced our relationship with Central America and our relationship with countries in that region,” said Vice Adm. Allen G. Myers, commander, Naval Air Forces. “Also, he has enhanced our relationship with our Russian partners in the space program.”

The Honorary Naval Aviator program, which was initiated in 1949, gives the Chief of Naval Operations the ability to bestow honorary “wings of gold” on an individual whose contributions to naval aviation are deemed “truly extraordinary.”

The designation is a rare honor, said Rear Adm. William F. Moran, director, Air Warfare (OpNav N98).

“The program has been around for 67 years and in that time we have only designated 29,” he said.

Shepherd, who was selected for the NASA astronaut corps in 1984, was the first Navy SEAL to cross over from being an expert at sea, air and land missions to flying missions into space. He served as commander of the first crew on the International Space Station in 1993.

Shepherd expressed his thanks to several of the key people that helped him throughout his career including Adm. Eric Olson. He invited some of his astronaut classmates to tell “sea stories” about him.

“Shep and I both had the pleasure and the duty to serve in Russia and to bring some naval traditions over to the Russians and into space,” said Kenneth D. Cameron, a retired Marine colonel. “The International Space Station was inaugurat-

ed as a space ship and there is a ship’s bell on the space station, thanks to you, Shep.”

“The sea stories I have about Shep I can’t tell here,” said Michael J. McCulley, a retired Navy captain.

Marsha Sue Ivins said it was a great privilege to help make Shepherd be legal in an airplane.

“Shep was without a doubt the best set of hands I have ever had the privilege of flying with and the only student who has ever flunked his check ride, not once, but twice,” she said.

Shepherd said the gold wings have a special place in his heart – his father was a naval aviator who received his wings in Pensacola 70 years ago and his grandfather, who flew biplanes and bombers for the Army in France in 1918, became a military aviator 94 years ago this month.

“So, I can’t think of any other award, any citation, that means more to me,” Shepherd said.

‘The Critical Days of Summer’

From safetycenter.navy.mil and NASP Safety Department

With rising summer-like temperatures and the carefree thoughts of Memorial Day’s three-day weekend ahead of us (May 26-28), the NASP safety office wants to remind everyone to use caution as we head into the “101 Critical Days of Summer.”

• 20 were E-3 and E-4.

• 24 occurred from May through August.

Here are some facts to remember: • Alcohol and swimming do not mix.

• Do not dive head-first into unknown waters; protect your head, neck and spine.

• If you are in trouble, call and wave for help – early.

• Swim parallel to shore when swimming long distances.

• Report hazardous conditions to lifeguards or other beach management personnel. Listen to their guidance and warnings; when they say “don’t go in the water” and post warning flags, or whistle that you are too far away from shore, listen up and comply.

• Don’t dive into water when you aren’t sure how deep it is.

• Note that the water still might be too shallow – personnel have injured their feet and ankles by jumping onto rocks in murky water.

• Obey posted warnings and rules, including parking.

• Avoid the hottest part of long summer days – mornings and afternoons are more pleasant and less crowded.

Water survival: • Be realistic about your ability.

• Swim in areas where a lifeguard is on duty, and do what the lifeguard tells you.

• Always supervise children.

The “101 Critical Days of Summer” are the days between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when accidents among service members statistically tend to increase. After spiking in 2008, summer deaths decreased in 2009 and 2010. Unfortunately, they crept up in 2011.

“After traffic mishaps, drowning is the biggest cause of offduty fatalities. Alcohol is a common factor,” said NASP Safety Manager Jonathan Winters. “As part of our critical days of summer hazard awareness/prevention efforts we are pushing weekly safety briefs. These are short simple power-point presentations that address seasonal hazards.”

Here are some facts from the Naval Safety Center and the NASP safety office to be aware of as we head into summer season.

While we locals believe no place on Earth compares to the beauty of Pensacola Beach’s sugar white sand and emerald waters, it can be deceptive. Rip currents are common along our scalloped shoreline. Learn to recognize the signs of rip currents. A scalloped shoreline is an indicator of where the rip currents are.

If you have any doubts about the water, don’t go into water deeper than your knees and keep a sharp eye on children.

Sailor and Marine drownings, FY07-FY11: • 42 personnel drowned.

• Recognize water conditions and depths.

Sunburn • Your day (or week) at the beach will be much more fun if you don’t get sunburned.

• Especially if you are fairskinned; apply plenty of a highSPF sunscreen.

• Even if you are under an umbrella, reflected sun from water and sand will hit your skin.

Heat stress and heat-related injuries: There were 757 heat-related (class A – class D) mishaps reported, for Navy and Marine personnel in fiscal years 2007 through 2011. These reports reflect 77 different physical activities. The top five were physical training (147), high-risk training (111), unit training (63), jogging/running (49) and PRT (26).

Dehydration plus heat stress equals poor performance: Working or exercising in hot weather makes you lose fluid, which can lead to dehydration.

Dehydration contributes to fatigue and can make you more susceptible to cramps, heat stress and heat stroke.

Factors that create heat stress: • Air temperature.

• Thermal radiation.

• Humidity.

• Air flow.

• Workload.

Factors that make you prone to heat stress: • Heavy workload (usually

combined with high humidity and/or hot environment/climate).

• Poor physical condition.

• Illness.

• Intoxication.

Acclimatization: • For most people, repeated exposure to heat stress cause a series of physiologic adaptations called “acclimatization” (usually within 2-4 weeks) • Once acclimatized, the body becomes more efficient at coping with heat stress conditions.

• An acclimatized person can tolerate a greater amount of heat stress before harmful effects of heat stress are noticed.

Staying hydrated: • Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids several hours prior to exercise and drink cool water often during physical activity.

• Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. Thirst is a late signal of severe fluid loss.

• Symptoms of dehydration include muscle cramps, decreased blood pressure and dizziness.

• Even small degrees of dehydration will cause a decrease in performance.

Know the signs of trouble: • Dizziness.

• Lightheadedness or fainting.

• Weakness.

• Moist skin.

• Mood changes such as irritability or confusion.

• Upset stomach or vomiting.

Heat exhaustion is the body’s response to loss of water and salt

Gosling Games Color Me ‘Bookworm’

from heavy sweating.

• Dry, hot skin with no sweating.

• Mental confusion or loss of consciousness.

• Seizures or convulsion.

Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat-related illness – it means the body can’t regulate its core temperature. This is a serious medical emergency.

Preventing heat stress: • Know the signs and symptoms of heat-related illness and monitor yourself and those around you.

• Whenever possible, block direct sun or other heat sources.

• Go into an air conditioned space to rest frequently when participating in sports or working outside.

• Drink lots of water; about one cup every 15 minutes. Avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks and heavy meals.

• Wear lightweight, light-colored and loose-fitting clothing.

Act fast for heat-related illness.

• On-base, call 452-3333 or (offbase) 911 immediately when you recognize signs of heat stroke.

• While waiting for help, move the person to a cool, shaded area, loosen or remove heavy or tight clothing and fan or mist the person with water.

• Avoid physically exerting yourself or exercising during the hottest hours of the day (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

Jokes & Groaners Contemporary Zen wisdom 1. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

2. Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else.

3. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

4. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

5. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

6. If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

7. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

8. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

9. Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.

10. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

11. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

12. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

13. Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your lips are moving.

NETC force master chief retires with 28 years

By Ed Barker NETC PAO

Naval Education and Training Command’s Force Master Chief FORCM(SS) John J. Snyder, retired from the Navy recently following a distinguished 28-year career. The ceremony was held at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Snyder began his career with recruit training and machinist’s mate “A” School in Great Lakes, Ill., followed by nuclear propulsion training in Orlando and Idaho Falls, Ind. His shore assignments included tours as a staff instructor at Nuclear Propulsion Training Unit Idaho Falls and Windsor, Conn., and on the staff of Commander Submarine Squadron Two in Groton, Conn.

At sea, Snyder served on the USS Alexander Hamilton (SSBN 617), USS Archerfish (SSN 678), USS Pittsburgh (SSN 720) and USS Springfield (SSN 761). His most recent at-sea assignment was as chief of the boat onboard USS Annapolis (SSN 760).

Snyder was selected for the command master chief (CMC) program in 2004 and graduated with academic honors from the Senior Enlisted Academy.

He served as the CMC for

the Submarine Learning Center in Groton, and as CMC of the Naval Personnel Development Command / NETC Learning and Development Division in Norfolk, Va. Snyder reported to NETC as force master chief in March 2009.

“As a submariner, you have a limited perspective of the whole Navy; we’re very stove-piped,” said Snyder. “As NETC force master chief, I’ve acquired a much better appreciation for how the Navy works as a whole and what it takes for us to supply the fleet with well-trained Sailors.”

Participating in the ceremony was Capt. Don Neubert, commander, Submarine Force Atlantic director for Maintenance and Material Readiness

(N4). Snyder was the chief of the boat on USS Annapolis (SSN 760) during Neubert’s tour as commanding officer.

“I was honored to be asked to participate in Master Chief Snyder’s retirement, to celebrate his superb career,” said Neubert. “A great submariner and master chief, he demonstrates the competence, confidence and compassion that makes our Navy so great. Master Chief Snyder is a terrific American, a true shipmate, and a close friend, and I wish him fair winds and following seas and continued success in all he pursues.”

Guest speaker for the ceremony was Navy Total Force / Manpower Personnel, Training and

Education Fleet Master Chief (SW/AW/SCW) Scott Benning.

“Force Snyder is a giving and caring leader who understands that it is important to develop yourself so that you can be instrumental in developing others,” said Benning. “As NETC force master chief, his commitment to excellence has had a significant impact across all ratings; ensuring our Navy’s success. His legacy of leadership will live on for a long time.”

“NETC has an outstanding command and this job has been very gratifying; it has provided me with the opportunity to impact and influence the vast majority of the Navy,” added Snyder. “The only communities we don’t have a direct, tangible influence on are medicine and special warfare.”

During the ceremony, Snyder was awarded the Legion of Merit for his service as NETC force master chief and as a capstone to his career. The award citation noted that his accomplishments were in large part responsible for NETC being ranked as one of the world’s top 125 training organizations by Training Magazine, a first for the department of defense.

Snyder plans to remain in the Pensacola area following retirement.

Housing Early Application Tool (HEAT) aids PCS moves From Navy Region Southeast

NavAdmin 145/12 has announced the “Housing Early Application Tool�

(HEAT).

HEAT provides the opportunity for all active-duty military personnel or their spouses to apply for housing at one or multiple locations before or after receiving PCS orders.

Instructions on the use of and access to the HEAT application can be found by going to www.cnic.navy.mil/heat from any computer. HEAT meets all DoD Privacy Act requirements and ensures protection for your privacy and personal information.

While this tool will allow Sailors to receive housing information much earlier in the PCS process, it will not

affect their placement on the waitlist.

Navy family housing customers, Sailors and their families, have indicated through surveys and focus groups that: 1. They would like a simpler, easier housing application process, 2. They want to employ available technology in the process vs. copying and faxing information and; 3. They want the ability to apply earlier (prior to actual receipt of orders) in order to have more time to explore and

learn about housing options at their next duty station. HEAT is designed to address each of these areas.

Housing customers will be able to submit applications online, at any time, to multiple installations, in order to receive information about available housing and to begin the qualification process for Navy or PPV housing.

The names and contact information for heat customers indicating an interest in PPV housing will be provided to the PPV partners immediately upon pre-qualification.

The HEAT application will automatically check the defense eligibility enrollment reporting system (DEERS) and the enterprise military housing (EMH) system to populate some of the housing application data and aid in

pre-qualifying personnel.

The schedule for Navy-wide rollout of heat is as follows: Naval District Washington, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic and Navy Region Midwest began May 1; Navy Region Southwest began May 8; Navy Region Southeast began May 15; Navy Region EurAfSWA begins May 22; Navy Region Hawaii begins May 29; Navy Region Japan and Korea, and Singapore begins June 8; and Joint Region Marianas (Guam) begins June 15.

CNIC HQ points of contact: Carol Casto, N93 (Housing), (202) 433-3483; carol.casto@navy.mil; Christine A. Mahoney, N00P (public affairs, (202) 685-0622, christine.mahoney@navy.mil.
