FROM THE EDITOR
They told us this day would come--the final week of deployment. Of course, the first time they prophecied this day, the seers placed it in the first week of May. Just like the Mayans, Abe’s prognosticators were a little off when they looked into the tale that 2012 would weave. After a couple of adjustments for operational requirements, they told us again this day would come, and now it’s so close we can almost taste it. In fact, before the ink is dry on this latest installment of every Lincoln Sailor’s favorite command newspaper (we really don’t give them much choice), some of our friends and family will be holding this issue in their hands, touring the ship as part of Big Abe’s 2012 Tiger Cruise Extravaganza. And a week from now, when we’re all reunited with our families and enjoying the comforts of home once again, we’ll be saying things that were unthinkable just a month ago, like: “That was eight months?! I can’t believe the deployment is over already!”
Congratulations To All The Chief Selectees!

board Lincoln, the mastersat-arms (MAs) attached to the ship’s in-port security force (ISF) keep the peace on the ship and the surrounding area. When the action goes down (Sailors fighting, unruly personnel in need of some handcuffs), the ISF has to be ready and well-trained to know what to do depending on the circumstances. Before being temporarily assigned to the ISF, Sailors must attend the Armed Sentry Course (ASC), a class designed to prepare students for real-life situations that can happen at any time. ASC is a 12-day course consisting of a variety of training to prepare ISF Sailors to be able to assist with almost any Navy security situation. Sailors learn safety, operational risk management (ORM), subject communication (body language), use of force (when deadly force can and should be applied), self defense, proper baton use, mechanical advantage control handling (MACH) levels and cuffing. ISF Sailors endure hours of classroom and hands-on weapons training in which they simulate many of the more commonly encountered security scenarios. Prior to attending the class, Sailors must meet ISF’s evaluation mark history criteria: no candidate will be eligible without eval scores above 3.0 in all categories. They must also meet body fat standards, have passed their last physical fitness assessment and not have been put on the fitness enhancement program, among other requirements. “It’s important to have an excellent overall record to be involved with the security force,” said Master-at-Arms 1st Class Bradley Gust. “We can’t be expected to enforce the rules to other Sailors if we aren’t showing a proper example ourselves.” The course educates Sailors about some tactics of terrorism,

“We can’t be expected to delegate to other Sailors if we aren’t showing a proper example ourselves.” said. “We do everything from power points and lectures to on-the-job training to make sure we’re prepared for anything.” The OC spray exercise is the culmination of ASC. The students are sprayed in the face with OC spray and go through an obstacle course that tests everything they learned throughout the 12-day course.
“I couldn’t believe the intense pain when I got sprayed with OC,” Gust said. “It felt like my eyes were being scratched out with sandpaper and my face was melting.” ASC educates Lincoln’s ISF Sailors about the basics of personal protection and provides them with information that just might save a fellow Sailor’s life someday.

improvised explosive devices, proper watch standing, proper personnel and vehicle inspection, firearms safety, and proper operation of 9MM pistols, M16 rifles and shotguns. Toward the end of the course, Sailors use everything they’ve learned in the oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray course. “Training is extremely important in the ASC for any situation,” Gust

orn in Delano, a small town smack-dab in the middle of California, Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Ronaldo Resalvo attended Garces Memorial High School in Bakersfield Calif., only thirty miles from his hometown. Before enlisting in the Navy, Resalvo spent some time working as a high school music teacher. Resalvo has now been in the Navy for nearly five years. As part of the Golden Falcons of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 12, he has primarily worked in the squadron’s tool room managing equipment inventory. Now that his term with the Falcons is drawing to an end, he will soon be transferring to his new shore duty command in Singapore. “I’m looking forward to not being underway, just staying stationary for a while. Since my duty station is overseas, I’m looking forward to getting adjusted to a new culture in Singapore.” In seven months underway, Resalvo made a habit of visiting a particular a worldwide restaurant chain popular with Sailors throughout the Navy. “My main hobby underway was visiting foreign places, eating great food and collecting merchandise from all the Hard Rock Cafés we visited.”
CNIC Tops Feds Feed Families Navy Goal Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) has donated 402,315 pounds as of week eight of the campaign to the 2012 Feds Feed Families drive, topping the Navy’s goal of 396,000 pounds for the entire three month campaign. Navy personnel have taken an incredible initiative so far with ensuring collection points are well identified and accessible across bases worldwide, collecting those goods, and donating them to charities both locally and around the world. “The generosity has been overwhelming in regard to the generous spirit of our personnel both here in our regions and installations in the United States, as well as abroad,” said Cmdr. Glenda Jennings Harrison, CNIC’s Supervisory Chaplain for Operations. “The success of Feds Feed Families so far is a testament to the quality and work ethic of these Sailors. They are doing a great job and it speaks volumes to who they are,”said Harrison. Navy Region Japan has the highest contribution total so far, donating 220,500 pounds to food banks both in their region and across the United States, including Oregon Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Banks, Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Feeding South Dakota Food Bank, Food Bank for the Heartland, Food Bank of Alaska and God’s Pantry Food Bank.
