Triathlon,” Miller said. “Your actions that day drew national attention

because they served as an inspiration to us all.” Morgan gained national fame when he carried Ben Baltz, 11, of nearby Valparaiso, across the finish line during the third annual Sea Turtle Tri Kids triathlon on Oct. 7 at Opal Beach, about halfway between Pensacola Beach and Navarre. Baltz, a bone cancer survivor, lost his right leg when he was 6. But now, he regularly runs triathlons and other athletic competitions throughout Northwest Florida with the help of a prosthetic device. Halfway through the running portion of the triathlon, Baltz’s prosthetic failed and he fell into

The communications team for the Air Force 479th Flying Training Group (FTG) cut the ribbon Oct. 31 on its brand new 3,400-squarefoot facility, which is housed in the Air Operations Terminal, Bldg. 1852, onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP). About 50 people attended the ceremony, which opened with a blessing from Navy Chaplain Lt. Zachary Speegle. Speakers included and 479th FTG Commander Col. Neil T. Allen and 479th Operations Support Squadron Commander Lt. Col. Justin Boldenow.

NASP Commanding Officer Capt. Christopher Plummer was also in attendance and assisted with the ribbon cutting. After the ceremony, guests were allowed to take a tour of the building. The opening of the new space is a big moment for the office, which had humble beginnings. When the shop’s superintendent, Master Sgt. William Irvine, arrived at NASP in September 2009, a six-person communications team was working out of a 300square-foot office. As the team grew and evolved to meet the network and communications needs of the growing Air Force presence at NAS Pensacola,

2nd GAFTS Oktoberfest benefits MANNA Food Pantries … The annual Oktoberfest celebration, put on Oct. 19 by NAS Pensacola’s 2nd German Air Force Training Squadron USA (2nd GAFTS) at the Mustin Beach Club, was “a huge success and a lot of fun for everyone involved,” said squadron CO Lt. Col. Arne Heitzmann. This year, the 2nd GAFTS raised funds by selling Oktoberfest T-shirts, Bavarian hats and authentic gingerbread hearts for donations to MANNA Food Pantries, resulting in a check of $555 for the organization.

Now with a staff of 23, the Pensacola Regional Communications Team (PRCT) has a new home that puts everyone under one roof.

Baltz struggled up, and was kind of bouncing around on his left foot while he attempted to refasten the loose pins on his prosthetic leg. “I asked Ben if he needed help,” Morgan said. “He said, ‘No, I just want to finish the race.’ ” When it became obvious the prosthetic was not repairable, Morgan offered Baltz a ride – piggy-back style – to the finish line. Together, the pair crossed the finish line and victory to cheers and tears from the onlookers. “Any of my fellow Marines would have done the same,” Morgan said. “I just happened to get there first.” Within minutes, amateur videos and photos of the event were uploaded to the Internet; and within hours

Steindl called Stein’s 12 years as OD director, overseeing the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) and the Navy’s Seaman-to-Admiral programs the highlight of her 30-year government service career. “Dr. Stein has had an incredible career supporting our Navy and Marine Corps,” said Steindl, who oversees 98 present of officer and enlisted accessions in the Navy. “Her ability to run this very complex (OD) program has been awe-inspiring and her contributions will be felt for decades. She has been a wonderful shipmate to all of us in the NSTC organization and she will be missed.”

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Christopher W. Plummer Public Affairs Officer — Harry C. White 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.

ence when managing both military and contractor personnel. We can do many daily operations more efficiently and effectively as one team under the same roof,” Irvine said. The new facility is the result of a $750,000 renovation project and ensures PRCT can effectively support its network’s 1,600 Air Force users, which span 10 units and a maintenance directorate, while also maintaining accountability for more than $8 million in assets. Just as important, though, is the new sense of pride this space brings. “I feel when a guy has the ability to sit at ‘his’ desk and call his space ‘home’ he takes more pride in ownership,” Irvine said. “While we are

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.

all professional, there’s usually a better sense of pride when you can call it your own.” It’s a landmark event for one of the 479th FTG’s most critical teams and will ensure their communications systems will continue to be maintained and operated with the utmost care and professionalism, according to Irvine. “I like to say, we do communications, because no one else can,” Irvine said. “Meaning, the CSOs, instructors and the commanders and staff are here to learn and perform their jobs, they shouldn’t also need to worry about why their network works the way it does, but that it works at the moment they need it.”

their story of hope and courage immediately gained national attention on hundreds of mainstream news outlets and cable networks. “Your willingness to ensure that the young competitor crossed the finish line may seem like a simple act of kindness, but such selfless acts form the ties that bind us together,” Miller said. “Morever, it reflects your commitment to living out the values of the Marine Corps, a commitment that all Americans can look to and admire. “I sincerely appreciate your dedication to the community and the outstanding support you and your fellow Marines provided during this event and personally to Ben Baltz.” Morgan’s commanding officer, Capt. Frank Anderson, said he was a little surprised by all the publicity, but not how his Marines reacted to the situation. “We leave no man behind. That’s something we do as Marines,” Anderson said. “It’s that unwavering dedication to our fellow Marines and competitors in this case.”

Steindl pointed out her tenure guiding the NROTC Program and leading the Navy’s efforts to increase midshipmen diversity, expand onto the campuses of minority serving institutions, return NROTC presence to Ivy League campuses, increase the number of NROTC midshipmen graduating with technical degrees and meeting NROTC Navy Nuclear Power production goals. “The Distinguished Civilian Service Award is normally presented to Senior Executive Service civilians.

CNO releases new list of good reads By Ens. Alex Cornell du Houx U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I. (NNS) – Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert introduced the newest edition of the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) in his blog Oct. 23. With the motto “Read to Be Ready,” the revamped program lists 42 books organized under the three tenets of the CNO’s Sailing Directions: warfighting first, operate forward and be ready. There are 18 essential readings and 24 recommended readings. “I encourage you to read these relevant books – they are about our profession,” Greenert said. “The list is designed to help us learn more about our proud heritage and gain a greater understanding of what it means to be a 21st century Sailor.” Each book was selected to illustrate key points about ways the Navy contributed to national security in the past and how it will operate in the future. “I’m not trying to make historians out of all us, and I don’t want you to get a history degree out of this,” Greenert said. “I want you to

be interested in your Navy and see how your predecessors, Sailors just like you, made your Navy great.” The Navy reading program was developed to facilitate professional development and encourage a life-long habit of reading and learning among all Sailors. Books include history, fiction, inspirational and patriotic titles, biographies and classics on military strategy and theory, and management best practices. “Adm. Greenert has directed the most significant changes to the Navy’s profes-

sional reading program since it was established in 2006,” said U.S. Naval War College professor John Jackson, the program manager. “His personal level of interest and involvement has been very helpful as we improved the program to meet the challenges of today’s Navy.” The 18 essential reading books will be shipped to every major ship, squadron and station in the Navy. The rest of the books are identified as recommended reading and will be available for download to personal devices from

the Navy General Library Program and through the eLibrary section on the Navy Knowledge Online website. “We hope that the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program will make it easier for Sailors around the fleet to read about the world around them, to share the marvelous history and heritage of the naval services and to help them consider different ways to look at their current challenges and those that will come in the future,” Jackson said. More on the launch of the updated program is also available in NavAdmin 309/12. Sailors will be able to contribute their opinions and suggestions by visiting the website or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NavyRea ding. The Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program is administered by faculty and staff at the U.S. Naval War College. Questions, feedback, and recommendations on the program may be sent to navyreading@usnwc.edu. For more news from Naval War College, go to www.navy.mil/local/nwc.

Sewer smoke testing continues at NASP

Smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system continues at NAS Pensacola. The Public Works Department (PWD) contracted with AH/BC Navy Joint Venture to conduct a wastewater sanitary sewer evaluation study. As part of the study, smoke testing will identify possible defects in the sewer system. The smoke testing machine does not create a fire, but a chemical smoke that is non-toxic, nonstaining and has a low odor. The smoke is white or gray in color. Beginning Nov. 13, the area for the current phase of testing will be defined by the back gate as the western boundary, the airfield and Taylor Road as the southern boundary and Duncan Road as the eastern boundary. It is recommended to pour a gallon of water into each housing drain trap of floors, sinks, showers and tubs prior to testing. Field crews will also utilize handheld computers to collect manhole inspection data, smoke testing equipment and remote video recording equipment. Field crews will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Be aware of field crews as they will be working on or near roadways with signage to identify them as contractor vehicles.

American Cancer Society’s 37th annual

Great American

Nov. 15

T U O E K O SM From www.cancer.org

very year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Great American Smokeout.

They may use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day. The event challenges people to stop using tobacco and helps people learn about the many tools they can use to quit and stay quit. In many towns and communities, local volunteers support quitters, publicize the event and press for laws that control tobacco use and discourage teens from starting. Research shows that smokers are most successful in kicking the habit when they have support, such as: • Telephone smoking-cessation hotlines. • Stop-smoking groups. • Counseling. • Nicotine replacement products. • Prescription medicine to lessen cravings. • Online quit groups. • Guide books. • Encouragement and support from friends and family members. Using two or more of these measures to help you quit works better than using any one of them alone. For example, some people use a prescription medicine along with nicotine replacement. Other people may use as many as three or four of the methods listed above. Telephone stop-smoking hotlines are an easy-to-use resource, and they are available in all 50 states. Call ACS at (800) 227-2345 to find telephone counseling or other support in your area. Support is out there, but the most recent information suggests that fewer than one in three smokers reports having tried any of the recommended therapies during his or her last quit attempt. The smokeout has helped dramatically change Americans’ attitudes about smoking. These changes have led to community programs and smoke-free laws that are now saving lives in many states. Annual smokeouts began in the 1970s when smoking and secondhand smoke were commonplace. The idea for the Great American Smokeout grew from a 1971 event in Randolph, Mass., at which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund. Then in 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on Nov. 18, 1976, the

California Division of the American Cancer Society (ACS) got nearly 1 million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first smokeout, and the Society took it nationwide in 1977. Since then, there have been dramatic changes in the way society views tobacco advertising and tobacco use. Many public places and workplaces are now smoke-free, protecting non-smokers and supporting smokers who want to quit. Each year, the Great American Smokeout draws attention to the deaths and chronic diseases caused by smoking. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, many state and local governments responded by banning smoking in workplaces and restaurants, raising taxes on cigarettes, limiting cigarette promotions, discouraging teen cigarette use and taking further action to counter smoking. These efforts continue today. Because of the efforts of individuals and groups that have led anti-tobacco efforts, there have been significant landmarks in the areas of research, policy and the environment: In 1977, Berkeley, Calif., became the first community to limit smoking in restaurants and other public places. In 1983, San Francisco passed the first strong workplace smoking restrictions, including bans on smoking in private workplaces. In 1990, the federal smoking ban on all interstate buses and domestic flights of six hours or less took effect. In 1994, Mississippi filed the first of 24 state lawsuits seeking to recuperate millions of dollars from tobacco companies for smoking-related illnesses paid for by Medicaid.

In 1999, the Department of Justice filed suit against cigarette manufacturers, charging the industry with defrauding the public by lying about the risks of smoking. In 1999, the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) was passed, requiring tobacco companies to pay $206 billion to 45 states by the year 2025 to cover Medicaid costs of treating smokers. The MSA agreement also closed the Tobacco Institute and ended cartoon advertising and tobacco billboards. In 2009, The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was signed into law. It gives the FDA the authority to regulate the sale, manufacturing, and marketing of tobacco products and protects children from the tobacco industry’s marketing practices. Those states with strong tobacco control laws are now reaping the fruits of their labor. From 1965 to today, cigarette smoking among adults in the United States decreased from more than 42 percent to around 20 percent. Strong smoke-free policies, media campaigns, and increases in the prices of tobacco products are at least partly credited for these decreases. Still, today about one in five American adults smoke cigarettes (that’s more than 45 million people). And about 15 million people smoke tobacco in cigars or pipes. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women. More than 80 percent of lung cancer deaths are thought to result from smoking. Smoking also causes cancers of the larynx (voice box), mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus (swallowing tube) and bladder. It also has been linked to the development of cancers of the pancreas, cervix, ovary (mucinous), colon/rectum, kidney, stomach and some types of leukemia. Cigars and pipes cause cancers, too. Smoking is responsible for nearly one in three cancer deaths, and one in five deaths from all causes. Another 8.6 million people live with serious illnesses caused by smoking.

Jokes & Groaners Smoking isn’t funny, but ... Nicotine patches are great. Stick one over each eye and you can’t find your cigarettes. — author unknown Why do drugstores make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? Overheard: “You know, lady, you don’t actually smoke. The cigarette does all the smoking – you are just the sucker.” “Tobacco drieth the brain, dimmeth the sight, vitiateth the smell, hurteth the stomach, destroyeth the concoction, disturbeth the humors and spirits, corrupteth the breath, induceth a trembling of the limbs, exsiccateth the windpipe, lungs, and liver, annoyeth the milt, scorcheth the heart and causeth the blood to be adjusted.” — Tobias Venner, (15771660) “The tobacco industry is finally going on record acknowledging the dangers of smoking. But back in my day, all we would admit was: 'Smoking is known to cause ashtray residue.’ ” — Kent Salem, former tobacco lobbyist

AETC Key Spouse of the Year at ‘Caring for People Forum’ By 2nd Lt. Keenan Kunst 12th Flying Training Wing Public Affairs

A 12th Flying Training Wing spouse recently attended the Caring for People Forum in Washington D.C., where she had the opportunity to help shape support programs and services available to Airmen and their families. Mary Anderson, wife of Lt. Col. Mark Anderson, 455th Flying Training Squadron, and the 455th FTS Key Spouse, participated in the event as the Air Education and Training Command Key Spouse of the Year. Anderson was announced as the AETC Key Spouse of the Year earlier this year for her contributions to the 479th Flying Training Group and the Naval Air Station Pensacola community. The annual forum provides a venue for top brass, Airmen, and key spouses to address the concerns of the Air Force family and propose and discuss initiatives. At this year’s forum, held Sept. 26-27, Anderson received recognition for her service and had the opportunity to make her voice heard on behalf of Air Force families all over the globe. Though, the recognition is secondary for Anderson, she sees her service as a responsibility and is happy to provide support to the families of service members. “I have seen my share of good

and bad support systems,” she said. “As a commander’s spouse in a joint environment; I feel it is my responsibility to support military members and their families to the max extent possible.”

Since 2010, Anderson has served the NAS Pensacola community and 479th FTG family whenever possible, whether that be through cooking holiday meals for service members who couldn’t make it home for the holidays or creating a guide welcoming new families to Pensacola and helping them acclimate. According to Anderson, a highlight of this year’s forum was the chance to participate in discussions on Air Force initiatives designed to improve Airmen support networks. “The Air Force is admitting that it has problems, especially in regards to suicides. Both the (Chief of Staff of the Air Force) and the (Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force) addressed these areas specifically,” she said. “Airmen and their families can expect a renewed resiliency ini-

tiative called Comprehensive Airmen Fitness. It will address suicides and resiliency using a holistic approach focusing on four pillars – mental, physical, social and spiritual.” Additionally, Anderson said the Air Force is preparing improvements for existing initiatives such as the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), a support program for special needs families and children. This year, “initiatives were introduced to remove the stigma associated with the (EFMP), as well as to increase understanding of Individual Education Plans (IEP) for special needs children,” she said. “For those who have never dealt with either the EFMP or IEPs, and even some that have in the past, they can be both daunting and confusing. I’m excited about the initiatives put forward as they are aimed at educating and empowering Airmen and their families so that these programs really work for them.” The proposed initiatives may be large programs, but AETC’s Key Spouse emphasizes that even the smallest personal gestures can make a huge impression. “Be kind to everyone you come across. You never know if they are having a rough time and how the smallest kind gesture can make a positive impact on their day,” she said.
