NASP Air Ops ‘arresting gear’ sails through certification From ABH1(AW/SW) Dervin Gardner NASP Air Ops

NAS Pensacola Air Operations Division Officer Lt. Gregory Smith recently reported that NASP’s E-28 Emergency Runway Arresting Gear Division passed its annual certification with flying colors.

“My goal was to not only to pass the gear cert, but to correct all deficiencies to ensure that safety guidelines and proper operations are up to par and maintained,” Smith said.

Otherwise known as “arresting gear,” the divi-

sion of 40-plus Sailors led

by Smith and maintenance leading chief petty officer ABEC Marshall Gault of the NASP Air Operations Department, has been working around the clock for the last few months to prepare for certification, which was administered in the last week of January. Passing the certification proves that NASP arresting gear is equipped to safely arrest tail hook equipped aircraft, from T-45 Goshawks to F/A-18s, in the event of an aborted takeoff of emergency landing – a function

Water line repair; expect construction traffic delays From NavFac SE

A project to repair a water line under Navy Boulevard will require the southbound lanes to be shifted at the 600 block of South Navy Boulevard at the Gateway Inn Motel. Construction is expected to begin in the later part of August and continue through late

September. Work on this project will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and will impact traffic flowing into the NAS Pensacola front gate.

Electronic message signs will be activated to inform motorists of the construction zones and traffic delays flowing into NAS Pensacola. Motorists are reminded to

slow down when driving through construction zones (speeding tickets are doubled when construction workers are present).

Escambia County’s District 2 Commissioner Doug Underhill urges drivers to be patient during the infrastructure improvements.

“Regarding the road work, the County and FDOT are working

two major projects that affect the approach to the front gate, the Sunset Bridge replacement and the Barrancas/Gulf Beach Highway intersection of Navy Boulevard,” Underhill said. “The NavFac work is going to add a few minutes to an already challenging commute, but

After more than 20 years, “Seaplane,” a musical with ties to Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP), is about to be reborn for a new audience.

Performances are scheduled for Aug. 28, 29 and 30 at the Pensacola Saenger Theatre.

“Seaplane” captures the innovative, determination and courage of early avia-

tion pioneers. It also celebrates the rich history of early flight and the nation’s first naval aviation flight school in Pensacola.

The story, originally written in 1989, focuses on the first crossing of the Atlantic in 1919 by the NC-4 aircraft designed by Glenn Curtiss, “the father of naval aviation,” and Jack Towers, the naval aviator that led the expedition. A portion of

Yates is a graduate of the University of Texas. Following completion of his advanced flight training in Corpus Christi, Texas, he was winged a naval aviator in 1999. He reported to VP-30 in Jacksonville, Fla., for fleet replacement pilot training in the P3C Orion.

Throughout his career, Yates served tours with the “Rangers” of VQ-2, instructor pilot with the “Boomers” of VT-27, catapult and arresting gear officer onboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), combined theater electronic warfare test and evaluation officer at Al Udied Air Base, Qatar; operations and maintenance officer of VQ-1, and PACFLT ISR operations officer. He has more 2,500 flight hours in multiple aircraft.

Solano takes command of VT10 after nearly 17 years of naval service. He is a graduate of the University Nevada Las Vegas and was commissioned upon completion of Officer Candidate School in April 1999. Following completion of his advanced flight training in VP-30 in Jacksonville, Fla., he reported to VP-4 “Skinny Dragons” in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Throughout his career, Solano served tours as N5A assistant plans officer at CTF-67, tactical action officer and assistant operations officer onboard USS Ronald Reagan, department head at VP-45 “Pelicans,” and Joint Staff J-5 deputy director Joint Strategic Planning at the Pentagon, until screening for command and departing for the VT-10 Wildcats at NAS Pensacola.

Cmdr. Kenneth Froberg will replace Solano as the executive officer for the squadron.

the show is set in Pensacola, and the revival of “Seaplane” comes on the heels of NASP’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2014.

The musical is based on the book written by Pensacola natives Jack and Carolyn Fleming. It features a musical score by Pensacola Children's Chorus co-founder Allen Pote with direction and choreography by Emily Mixon.

According to “Seaplane” director Lauren Isenhour, the Flemings were caught up in the excitement that was generated by the 75th anniversary of naval aviation in 1986. The musical was one of several special events that were part of the year-long celebration.

“The more they read about the colorful characters in those early days, the more they appreciated the dramatic and moving story,” Isenhour said.

About the same time, Pote had become the director of music at First United Methodist Church and along with his wife, Susan, and the four became best friends.

“They all realized that the story could be made into a powerful musical,” Isenhour said.

She said the Flemings traveled extensively to get additional historical material from descendants and experts while Allen worked on the score.

Naval aviation began May 8, 1911,

duce the time Sailors spend conducting parts and equipment inventory in support of ship replenishment.

“RFID reduced the time the Sailors are in the containers in the ship, and that's a goal – to reduce the warfighter’s workload,” said Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) project engineer Bill Israelson. “With the system’s proven accuracy, we can quickly tell what needs to be resupplied so the ship can get what it needs and head back to sea.”

when Capt. Washington Irvin Chambers ordered two A-1 Triad floatplanes from Curtiss. According to History.net, Curtiss designed the first float plane, flying boat and Triad for the Navy. It was his plane flown by Eugene Ely, a company exhibition pilot, that made the first successful takeoff from a Navy ship in 1910.

Then in 1914, Towers led nine officers and 23 enlisted men, with seven aircraft, portable hangars and other gear from the aviation unit at Annapolis, Md., to Pensacola to set up the first naval aviation training unit, which is why NASP is known as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation.”

NASP remains a major training base and home of the Blue Angels U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. The NC-4 aircraft that first crossed the Atlantic in 1919 is currently on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard NAS Pensacola.

The cast will feature Broadway stars Ryan Silverman, Emily Padgett, David Gaschen, Chuck Wagner along with local performers. There will also be a guest cameo appearance by Navy Seal, Kevin Lacz, who was the technical adviser and played a role in the 2014 film “American Sniper.”

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

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

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

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

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

During the container testing littoral combat ship (LCS) Mine Countermeasure Detachment Sailors scanned and inventoried 1,300 pieces of MCM MP equipment in only 21 minutes during a rapid replenishment evolution between at-sea periods. Previously, this task would have required three Sailors 72 hours to accomplish.

The inventory occurred once the Sailors returned to port from after conducting at-sea technical evaluations of the littoral combat ship (LCS 2) MCM MP. Once

in port, engineers from NSWC PCD, NSWC Port Hueneme Division and contractor support scanned parts and equipment inside the mission package and sent the information to a computer to determine what needed replenishment.

The RFID project is nearing the final test and evaluation stage, necessary to validate the proof of concept. The RFID prototype was initially developed by the Office of Naval Research.

The Carrier Airfield Support Unit (CAFSU) inspectors began work earlier in the year and were prepared to spend the whole week inspecting the arresting gear, but NASP’s gear division was prepared for the visit. With only two days of inspection followed by review and training, the inspectors gave a thumbs-up to what they saw.

Arresting gear assis-

“Without the support of my work center, working long hours and weekends for the past nine months, preparing, preparing all 12 arresting gear engines, none of this could have been achievable,” Brow said. “And it paid off, because not only did we pass, but we had outstanding results and it showed because the inspectors were impressed beyond their expectations.”

Renewable energy powering the future of the Navy

By Dennis McGinn Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Energy, Installations and Environment

E

nergy is at the core of every one of our missions. You may not think about where your energy comes from, but make no mistake – its source matters.

Fossil fuels, which have been the primary source of energy in the past, are finite and an overreliance on them puts our nation and Navy at risk.

In 2013, the Navy spent between $4 and $5 billion on the roughly 1.3 billion gallons of fuel it needed for operations.

Fuel price swings could raise that cost by as much as $1 billion in any given year, and force the Department of the Navy (DoN) to cut back in other critical areas to pay the bill.

Therefore, to ensure the Navy has reliable, assured and sufficient access to energy, also known as energy security, the Navy is looking for alternatives that allow our Sailors and Marines to do their jobs better, more safely and more efficiently. And what better alternative than power that can be built on or near our bases and never run out?

With this in mind, in May 2014 Secretary of the Navy

How to submit a commentary

Ray Mabus challenged the shore leadership to bring one gigawatt of renewable energy into procurement by the end of 2015, and so the Renewable Energy Program Office (REPO) was born with a laserfocus to identify cost-effective renewable energy projects for DoN installations. Building renewable energy power facilities will allow the DoN to achieve energy security and increase operational capability.

So what, you may ask, is a gigawatt? It is roughly what would be required to power the city of Orlando, Fla., or about 250,000 homes. It is certainly a challenge for the DoN to meet the one gigawatt goal, but we are well on our way.

In the last year alone, DoN issued four requests for proposals for up to 460 megawatts of renewable energy from projects that could power 14 bases in California, seven bases in the Mid-Atlantic, three bases

in the Washington, D.C., area, and three bases in Texas. We executed a real estate agreement with Duke Energy to build 17 megawatts of solar power at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, and have worked with housing partners at our San Diego-area bases to host up to 33 megawatts of rooftop solar on Navy and Marine Corps housing.

To meet SecNav’s goal and ultimately to increase energy security, the DON has created three development models.

The first allows the DON to contract for energy generation location off-base by a third

party. The second model is where a renewable energy asset, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), is built on the base by a third party, and the energy produced is consumed by the surrounding community. The final model consists of a renewable energy project built on-base, to power operations on-base.

In July 2014 Mabus said, “Our ability to innovate and embrace new technologies and new concepts will help ensure that the Navy and the Marine Corps can continue to protect the American people and do the work of our nation around the world.”

REPO is here to innovate and improve the way the Navy goes about getting its energy.

Without energy, there is no mission and without innovation there is no guaranteed access to energy. Power and where we get it from, matters.

Stay tuned for more information about the DoN creating new renewable energy projects using wind and solar energy, to power our bases and operations. Like the communities we live in, we are doing our part to get smart on energy; improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of alternative energy promotes more secure and more resilient installations.

Four things to keep in mind about operations security and your privacy From Navy Live http://navylive.dodlive.mil/

O

nline searches.

Public records. Social media. And more. Each presents a unique challenge to protect operations security and your privacy. It’s always a good time to ensure you’re practicing good habits to better protect both.

Below are four things to know about OpSec and your privacy.

1. You should be careful about sharing too much information: Share information about yourself smartly and be careful about what you disclose about your family and occupation. Sailors and their families should be particularly careful not to share: • Deployment status.

• Home address.

• Telephone numbers.

• Location information and associated location information in posts, tweets, checkins, photos and videos.

• Schedules.

Your close friends and family members have this information so there is no need to post it online. Other information that should not be shared: • Description of bases.

• Unit morale.

• Future operations or plans.

• Results of operations.

• Discussion of areas fre-

quented by service members (even off-duty hangouts).

• Daily military activities and operations.

• Technical information.

• Details of weapon systems.

• Equipment status.

• Use privacy settings to better protect your personal information.

• Facebook privacy basics (https://www.facebook.com/ about/basics).

• Twitter help center (https://support.twitter.com/ groups/51-me#).

• Google+ privacy (https://support.google.com/ plus/answer/1047279?hl=en).

2. Sailors and families should be careful about sharing too much information: Dangerous: My Sailor is in XYZ unit at ABC camp in ABC city in Iraq.

• My daughter is aboard XYZ ship heading back to ABC city/country in X days.

• She will be back on X date from ABC city.

• My family is back in Youngstown, Ohio.

Safer: My Sailor is deployed in Iraq.

• She is coming back home.

• I’m from the Midwest.

Best practice: Protect yourself and your family.

Avoid providing details about yourself, especially related to a current deployment. Avoid providing details about family. To be safer, talk about events that have happened – not that will happen unless

that information has been released to the media. Otherwise, don’t provide specific details.

3. Be careful who you friend or those who follow you on social media: • Not everyone who wants to be your friend or follower is necessarily who they claim to be.

• Be mindful of others attempting to use your social presence.

Best practice: Only allow people you actually know in real life into your social circle.

4. OK to share: • Pride and support for service members, units and specialties.

• Generalizations about service or duty.

• Port call information after it has been released to the media.

• General status of the location of a ship at sea (i.e., operating off the coast of San Diego, as opposed to 45 miles north of San Diego).

• Released posts from official U.S. Navy social media presences.

Sailors kicking habit, Navy families and youth must face misconceptions about ‘vaping and e-cigs’

By Lt. j.g. Daniel Mongiove Naval Submarine Base New London Public Affairs

G

ROTON, Conn. (NNS) – Electronic cigarettes are having a tremendous, and potentially unsafe, impact on youth as well as current adult smokers hoping to quit, according to health and safety professionals at Naval Submarine Base New London (SuBase).

“E-cigs,” as they are commonly called, as well as personal vaporizers (PVs) are essentially electronic nicotine delivery systems providing battery-powered doses of nicotine and other additives to the user in an aerosol.

“We’re seeing a shift in what the view of smoking is becoming,” said Lt. Cmdr. Michael Sracic, a medical doctor and the Public Health Department Head at Naval Branch Health Clinic Groton on SuBase. “It’s been called the ‘renormalization’ of smoking behavior, and it’s due to public misconception from advertising out there of what this product actually is.”

Arguments over the target demographic of the advertising aside, the flavors of electronic cigarettes are very enticing to a youth market said Sracic and “should be a major concern for all of us, especially parents.”

Results from a national survey of United States students in grades six to 12 found that 44 percent of users of e-cigarettes intended to smoke conventional cigarettes, compared with 22 percent of never users.

“While this survey does not prove that e-cigarette use increases the desire to smoke conventional cigarettes, it does raise concerns that e-cigarettes may

be a gateway to nicotine dependence in our youth,” said Sracic. “This would greatly push back the efforts from the ‘smoke free’ campaign in the past decade.”

Moreover, a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that an increasing number of calls related to e-cigarette use are being made to United States poison control centers.

The study highlights that from a low of one such call per month to poison control centers in 2010, some 215 calls per month were made in 2014. That is an increase from less than one percent to nearly 42 percent of all smoking-related calls received by poison control centers.

“The nicotine in e-cigarette fluid poses a huge potential for accidental ingestion, especially by children,” said Sracic. “The typical 5 mL vial of e-cigarette liquid refill may contain a nicotine concentration of 100 mg/vial. The known lethal dose of nicotine is about 10 mg in children. E-cigarettes pose a critical risk in the hands of a child.”

Of course, beyond the marketing of youth enticing flavors, e-cigs have been promoted as a “safer alternative” and a “helpful tool to quit smoking,” notes

Veranda

Sracic.

“There is no evidence that shows these products are safe to use over the long term or provide a physical difference in kicking a smoking addiction,” said Sracic.

A recent study published by the University of Rochester and conducted by one of the university’s professors of Environmental Medicine in its School of Medicine and Dentistry, sug-

gests that e-cigarettes could be a toxic replacement for tobacco products.

The study purports that inhaled vapors from an e-cig may contain heavy metals and other possible carcinogens from the ecigarette and its heating element.

While not associated with the study, Sracic urges similar caution.

“Until more is known about the long-term effects of e-cigs, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Cancer Association recommend steering clear of these devices,” advised Sracic.

With so much still unknown about e-cigarettes and their impacts, the Navy and SuBase view them fairly straightforwardly, points out SuBase Safety Director Edgar Martinez.

“With regulations responding to studies that have linked cigarette use, smokeless tobacco use, and second-hand smoke to health problems and poor fitness, the Department of Defense and Navy have tightened rules around tobacco use and sales across the service and fleet,” noted Martinez.

SecNavInst 5100.13E, the Navy and Marine Corps Tobacco Policy, outlines the service’s dos and don’ts.

“With a few exceptions, such as personal housing units, tobacco use inside facilities is controlled by the tobacco policy,” said Martinez. “Currently, the Navy views tobacco products as cigarettes, cigars, tobacco and smokeless tobacco. But as the FDA is seeking to extend its definition of a tobacco product to include electronic cigarettes, the Navy is treating them similarly.”

For Sracic and Martinez, the FDA, DoD, and Navy guidance on tobacco and e-cigarettes all highlight one thing: potential health and safety risks.

“Whether it’s a middle-aged chronic smoker trying to quit; a young teen drawn in by flavors and advertising; or a Sailor looking for a supposed ‘safer alternative,’ e-cigarette users have to understand that misconceptions are everywhere,” said Sracic.

“The choice not to ‘vape’ may be the best choice of all.”

NASWF selects Sailors of the Quarter

By Ens. Margaret E. Gresham NASWF Public Affairs

A

B1 Marlon Squires, AB2 Paulo Gomez-Lopez and ABHAN Steven Cochran were selected for the Sailor of the Quarter (SoQ), Junior Sailor of the Quarter (JSoQ) and Blue Jacket of the Quarter (BJoQ) for the third quarter of 2015.

The selection of quarterly awards was taken from a group of hardworking, driven and standout Sailors who were leadership-nominated representatives of Naval Air Station Whiting Field’s (NASWF) air traffic control, crash and security divisions.

Squires earned SoQ because his performance in professional and collateral capacities was seen as singular among his peers.

Squires served as the station chief, a position almost always held by a chief or above. He was directly responsible for reviewing, processing and approving National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) reports. During his seven months as station chief, he processed 96 NFIRS reports, led a team that included 38 firefighters, four Navy fire stations, and six emergency vehicles, which responded to 23 precautionary emergencies.

Squires acted as the assistant command fitness leader (CFL), personally directing 12 command fitness enhancement program (FEP) sessions for 10 personnel, and implementing a rigorous firefighter’s physical training regimen tailored to enhance endurance. He also organized and led six physical training sessions for the First Class Chief Mess while upholding the highest physical fitness standards for himself.

He was truly an instrumental asset when it came to introducing and acclimating new Sailors. As the departmental sponsor coordinator, he managed eight sponsors and ensured the delivery of 36

sponsor packages, providing a smooth transition to 36 new Sailors. As the assistant command indoctrination facilitator, Squires helped organize 20 command programs, to include six outside agencies, to provide vital information for eight newly-reporting Sailors.

As a member of the command assessment team, he collected and analyzed data for 300 Sailors for the command climate survey and facilitated petty officer first class focus groups that gathered pertinent data to heighten command morale.

Not only was Squires an asset to the command, but the community as well. He became a role model to local youth by becoming a lead mentor in the Men in Action Outreach program, which mentors and influences disadvantaged adolescents. He personally dedicated 80 hours to the organization, aiding with school work and teaching the children about everyday challenges they may face. He also dedicated 10 hours to the Santa Rosa County fair parking team and six hours to the Escambia County Animal Shelter.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized; we have outstanding first class petty officers here at NAS Whiting Field,” Squires shared.

“I take pride in taking care of my junior personnel and their achievements in or out of service.

The quote I try and live by is ‘leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.’ ” “Squires is the total package;

he exemplifies the Navy’s core values in every aspect. The impact he has had within the command and the community is unmatched by his integrity and moral character and makes him an asset in any endeavor,” said ABCM Jimmie Gardner, the fire and emergency department head.

Gomez-Lopez was awarded the JSoQ. He is a member of the NASWF Operations Department Transient Line Division and served as the assistant lead petty officer.

Gomez-Lopez consistently demonstrated an exceptionally high level of professionalism in all transient line operations at two primary airfields. He was responsible for the safe and expeditious direction and fueling of aircraft on the flight line as well as the safe transportation of the runway duty officer and wheels watch stationing during flight operations.

Gomez-Lopez led five Sailors at NASWF North and South fields, demonstrating his strong leadership and managerial skills.

He is a motivated Sailor who performs all duties in an accurate and timely manner. He exudes military bearing and upholds the Navy’s physical fitness standards.

As a leader in the command’s physical fitness program, Gomez-Lopez assisted in training 12 fitness enhancement program (FEP) personnel, which led to a 40 percent reduction in command-wide physical fitness failures during the spring PFA. He

led 23 personnel in physical training three days a week, and successfully helped three sailors get removed from the FEP. Gomez-Lopez was consistently the first to volunteer for command events and has been involved in the organization and execution of events, including the Christmas party, Navy Ball and diversity committees. In addition to command events, he participated in community affairs such as Milton’s Memorial Day Ceremony, Whiting Pines Safety Night and the Bay Area Backpack Program.

As the transient line sponsor coordinator, he sponsored two personnel and ensured their transitions into the command was smooth. Gomez-Lopez also helped Sailors in his command by acting as the division career counselor, guiding personnel through important career decisions.

“Gomez-Lopez is an excellent assistant leading petty officer who leads by example and maintains high standards,” Cmdr. Eric Seib said. “His untiring efforts and flexibility enables him to complete any given task to produce quality results.”

Cochran received recognition for the BJoQ. His outstanding effort combined with first class attitude made this award well-deserved.

Cochran has been a maintenance crewmember for the last six months, and has demonstrated characteristics of a great future leader. Responsibilities in-

clude logistics, inventory and procurement of supplies for 13 military fire stations. Cochran assisted 90 firefighters by ensuring the upkeep and maintenance of 15 TAUs, 2 T-1500s and eight support vehicles.

As a lead maintenance crewmember and assistant minor property manager, Cochran ensured the inventory and maintenance of more than $4.1 million of vital lifesaving equipment for more than 17 firefighting apparatus supporting both Training Air Wing Five and Six operations.

Cochran’s had a significant impact not only on the command but in the community as well. He unselfishly dedicated eight hours in supervising and assisting 14 Sea Cadets in the landscaping and cleanup of a local nursery.

“I am very honored to receive this award, it gives me even more inspiration to keep striving forward,” Cochran said. “It means a lot to me especially seeing my work pay off. I plan to continue volunteering and doing the right thing at all times even when no one is looking.”

“Cochran has firmly established himself as a dependable and trustworthy Sailor at Fire and Emergency Services,” said Gardner. “He consistently is going above and beyond of what is required and constantly seeks new responsibilities. This Sailor sets the example by his devotion to the local community and command by unselfishly dedicating his time to numerous organizations.”

Back to school: time to get that shopping finished It’s the sales tax holiday is Aug. 7-16 • School starts Aug. 17 in Escambia, Santa Rosa counties From NAPS

W

hile every school year is different, one thing that remains the same is the desire to save on school supplies.

Moms are looking to save on more than just dollars and cents.

They want to save on time and stress, too.

To help, award-winning author, radio talk show host and mom Maria Bailey offers tips and advice on how to get yourself and your child off to a successful start this school year: • Shop early: Vacation is a good time to inventory what supplies you already have at home, make a list of what each child needs and start looking for the best deals.

“Many stores offer bargains on school supplies during the summer months, so getting an early start can add up to sav-

ings,” said Bailey.

• Create a budget: While it can be good to get children involved and let them choose some items, it’s a smart idea to have a budget. If your children know how much to spend, they can do the math. Budgets can teach children a valuable lesson in both math and economics.

You can also involve your children in the shopping process by showing them how to look for a good deal.

• Keep a family calendar: Buy and post a bulletin board or calendar to help keep everyone on track. Keep children up-todate on key dates, including school assignments/tests and

extracurricular activities. Also, consider color coding each child’s schedule to stay on top of all the to-do’s.

• Search for savings: Walking up and down the aisles to find the right product at the right price for your child isn’t as hard as you think.

Looking for a good deal can help you save big when buying back-to-school products. Check out your local sales circulars for the top deals each week.

• Buy basics in bulk: While teachers provide lists of specifics, the basics that students need to start out the

school year are pretty consistent, so it can pay to buy in bulk, especially if you have more than one child.

Getting organized, looking for deals and mapping out the best way to prepare for the start of school will lead to a stressfree and easy experience.

2015 back-to-school sales tax holiday Aug.7-16 From Florida Department of Revenue

L

egislation was passed (Chapter 2015-221, Section 28, Laws of Florida) to create a 10day sales tax holiday that will begin at 12:01 a.m. Aug. 7 and end at 11:59 p.m. Aug. 16.

During this period, no Florida sales tax or local option tax will be collected on sales of clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $100 or less per item, on certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item, and on the first $750 of the sales price for computers and certain computer-related accessories when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use.

During this holiday period, Florida law directs that no sales tax or local option tax (also known as discretionary sales surtax) will be collected on purchases of: • Clothing, footwear,

and certain accessories selling for $100 or less per item.

• Certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item, and • Personal computers and certain computer-related accessories on the first $750 of the sales price, when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use.

This holiday does not apply to: • Any item of clothing selling for more than $100.

• Any school supply item selling for more than $15.

• Books that are not otherwise exempt.

• Rentals or leases of

any of these items.

• Repairs or alterations of any of these items; or • Sales of clothing, school supplies, or computers and computer-related accessories in a theme park, entertainment complex, public lodging establishment or airport.

related accessories” and lists examples of tax-exempt and taxable items during the holiday period.

You can find Chapter 2015-221, Laws of Florida, authorizing the holiday at: http://laws. flrules. org/ 2015/221.

Why are some items excluded from this holiday?

Only specific items were identified as tax-exempt in the law passed by the 2015 Florida Legislature. No other items are authorized. The labeling or packaging of the items usually determines whether the item may be purchased tax exempt during the 10-day holiday period. For example: • Dress, garden, and work gloves sold for $100 or less are exempt but athletic gloves are taxable because sporting equipment is excluded from the definition of clothing.

• Batteries designed for

H K C D K J T B W V L H F V X

a computer are exempt but regular batteries used to operate a flashlight are taxable because flashlight batteries are not a computer-related accessory.

• Handbags and purses sold for $100 or less are exempt but briefcases, suitcases, garment bags, and computer bags are taxable because those items are not “intended to be worn on or about the human body,” which is a requirement of the exemption.

• Cases for electronic devices are taxable because they are not specifically listed as exempt in the law.

• Printers and scanners are exempt on the first $750 of the sales price of each item but copy machines are taxable because copy machines are not a computer-related accessory under the exemption.

If I buy eligible items by mail order or through

the Internet, do I get the exemption?

Yes. All purchases of eligible items during the sales tax holiday are tax exempt, including purchases made by mail order or through the Internet.

If the selling price of an item of clothing is more than $100, is the first $100 exempt from sales tax?

No. The tax exemption applies to items selling for $100 or less. If an item sells for more than $100, tax is due on the entire selling price.

If the selling price of a school supply item is more than $15, is the first $15 exempt from sales tax?

No. The tax exemption applies to school supply items selling for $15 or less. If an item sells for more than $15, tax is due on the entire selling price.

NETC Training Support Center reaches major milestone: one million students Story, photo

by Robin Holland TSCHR Public Affairs

V

IRGINIA BEACH, Va. – In just over 10 years, the Naval Education and Training Command’s Training Support Center serving the Hampton Roads area (TSCHR) was able to mark a major milestone: on July 20 its millionth student was processed for training and forwarding on to the fleet.

Chaplain Lt. Cmdr. (FMF) Robert Peters was student number one million to process through the TSCHR Dam Neck site. A former Navy pilot, Peters was pleased with the service he received coming through TSCHR’s doors.

“After 10 years as an aviator I received God’s calling to become a chaplain and 14 years later, TSC is making it easy for me to attend the Center for Personal and Professional Development Navy Instructor Training Course,” Peters said.

Since TSCHR’s establishment in April, 2004, the student management directorate has acted as a single point of contact for all student management and training support needs for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) activities in the

Hampton Roads area.

TSCHR has processed and supported a million students with check-in/check-out, special screenings, customer support detachment (CSD) liaison for per-diem, port calls, permanent change of station orders, negotiations, graduations, accelerations, drops, evaluations, student dispositions reclassifications and holding company management.

Oscar Jose, TSCHR student management director, works with five site managers to facilitate efficient and effective management of student personnel and also supports learning center personnel as they instruct Sailors.

“Bottom line, we take care of the students’ paperwork and records, doing whatever it takes to ensure they have the fewest

possible interruptions to classroom instruction,” said Jose.

“This facilitates our meeting fleet training requirements by the judicious use of training resources.”

Capt. Brent Kyler, TSCHR commanding officer, noted that that TSCHR’s number one priority is taking care of Sailors and they are always looking for innovative ways to maximize student support.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our student management team,” said Kyler. “In order for the Navy to maintain its superiority on the oceans of the world, it must continue to produce confident, knowledgeable Sailors who are able to perform difficult jobs with unerring skill and technical proficiency; and TSCHR plays a huge role in getting the students to their required training.”

TSCHR provides student management, quota control and professional development for Sailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen from the U.S. armed forces and more than 20 allied nations.

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.
