Local Sailor looks back at the Battle of Midway Island By Eric Sesit
At last count, the Navy has on file the names of 292 survivors of the Battle of Midway. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with one naval aviator whose introduction to war began as a 22-year-old Ensign and ended more than 20 years later after accumulating more than 7,500 hours of flight time, the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Navy Air medals.

Thomas McKelvey points to photos of his VP-23 shipmates stationed on various islands during WWII. McKelvey was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Navy Air Medals for his service in the Southwest Pacific.
When you meet Thomas McKelvey, he appears to be just another senior citizen, living his days out in peace and quiet in a comfortable house in Charleston, S.C. He is 90 years old, quickly approaching 91. His handshake is firm, his eyes are clear and he walks unaided by a cane or walker. Yet it is his mind that will impress you. He has an amazing recollection of the events surrounding Pearl Harbor, Midway and WWII. And when some of the details get a little blurry, which is understandable for anyone trying to remember events from 70 years ago, he turns to his tattered photo albums, each black and white image clearly marked with the names of his shipmates and friends that he met during his career. He grew up in Monck’s corner. He remembers the area before engineers dammed the river and made the Santee lakes. “I spent two and a half years at the University of South Carolina before going into the Navy. I was sent to Pensacola where I learned to fly and was assigned to VP-23, a squadron that flew the PBY or sea-plane which was used for surveillance and rescues at sea.” McKelvey joined his squadron on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor about two weeks before the surprise attack of Dec. 7th. “I was in the BOQ when the first attack wave hit battleship row. By the time we got out of the building, the second wave was strafing our planes, circling around our barracks and hangars at about 800 feet. After the attack, out of 12 planes in our squadron, only three were still able to fly.” In the weeks following the attack,
McKelvey’s squadron was assigned patrol duties, flying 800 nautical miles every day. “Those were long days. I was a co-pilot then and we flew 12-hour missions looking for any signs of the Japanese,” Mckelvey said. In mid-May, 1942, VP-23 aircraft flew to Midway Island. It’s a well-known story how American code-breakers were able to decipher
the Japanese messages marking Midway as the next point of attack. “I attended a briefing a week before the June 4th attack,” said McKelvey. “We knew the attack was coming and knew that it would probably be from the north-northwest and that a land invasion would come in from the west. We already had three

Battle of Midway turned the tide for the U. S. in the Pacific By CHINFO Public Affairs Regarded as the turning point in the Pacific during World War II, the Battle of Midway took place June 4-7, 1942. During the battle, U.S. Navy carrier strike forces, augmented by shore-based bombers and torpedo planes, decisively defeated a Japanese navy carrier task force. In a larger strategic sense, the Japanese offensive in the Pacific was derailed and their plans to advance on New Caledonia, Fiji and Samoa had to be postponed. The balance of sea power in the Pacific shifted from Japan to parity between America and Japan. Two months after the Battle of
Midway, the U.S. and its allies would take the offensive at Guadalcanal. The Japanese lost four large carriers – four of the six that had attacked Oahu on December 7, 1941. The Americans lost USS Yorktown (CV 5) after her extensive contribution to the enemy’s defeat. USS Hammann (DD 412) was also sunk while assisting Yorktown. The Japanese lost more than 100 trained pilots and more than 700 trained aircraft mechanics whose expertise could not be easily replaced. The victory at Midway defeated the Japanese attempt to draw the U.S. carriers into

decisive battle. The Japanese opportunity for victory was lost and bought time for the Allies to execute what was termed the Grand Strategy, to give priority to defeating Nazi Germany before applying the full force of the war effort to defeat Japan. Thanks to American code breakers, judicious aircraft carrier tactics and providential timing, the U.S. Navy inflicted a devastating defeat on the Japanese navy at Midway. American courage, determination, heroic sacrifice and training proved equal to the task of drawing the Japanese carriers into battle and destroying them.

In case you’ve been too busy or have been living under a rock somewhere, you know the country has been suffering through a major recession the past few years. Some of you have made it through unscathed. Others have seen spouses lose their jobs, friends lose their homes or their Thrift Savings Plan accounts shrink. Those of you who might be PCS’ing might be having difficulty selling a home due to the glut of houses on the market. But for many of us, we have been riding the recession out with minimal difficulty. We live safe and secure knowing that we will receive a paycheck on the 1st and 15th of every month. That’s just one of the many benefits the military provides. There was a time not long ago, when military pay and benefits sorely lagged behind our counterparts in the civilian world. That’s not true today. In many ways, our military compensation package meets or exceeds those of the best civilian companies. Congress has steadily improved our pay during the
last 15 years, almost to the point that many of our troops make the same if not more than their civilian counterparts after adding in tax incentives and other perks such as uniform allowances. We have a generous retirement package, access to a fantastic savings plan in the Thrift Savings Plan, that although might have taken a hit during the recession, should begin to show growth again if it hasn’t already. We have a fantastic tuition assistance plan that enables Sailors (and even some family members) to get a good jump on their college degrees. PACE education even allows our Sailors on deployment to continue to get their education and the internet has allowed distance learning even for Sailors stationed in the far corners of the earth. We have Fleet and Family Support centers that provide helpful classes and information for just about every family situation that might arise. Morale, Welfare and Recreation departments keep you busy and entertained and if you or someone in your family becomes sick, our health benefits simply cannot be beat. Even into retirement, your health benefits can continue as a much less expensive option to civilian healthcare policies. But to me, probably one of the best benefits is that from the time you sign on the dotted line and take the oath of enlistment, you start accumulating leave time in the amount of 30 days per year. No, I’m not a liberty hound, but I like time off just as much as the rest of you. You’re not going to find too many civilian companies that offer that much vacation time after
only one year with the company. So, if we earn 30 days a year, why do so many of us refuse to take time away from our jobs? Other than operational commitments such as deployments or IAs, those of us on shore duty should make it a point to take breaks away from our jobs. We receive 30 days leave a year because of the nature of our work. It’s dangerous; it’s 24-7, 365 days a year and often calls on extended periods of time away from our families. If you’re assigned shore duty and have 60-plus days of leave on the books, I urge you to take some well deserved time off. It’s good to maintain a leave balance in case of emergencies, but everyone needs a break. “But Skipper, I’m the only one who knows how to assemble and disassemble the Mod 1 Mark 86B Flux capacitor.” Wrong. Someone taught you how to do it, and you in turn should be teaching others how to do it. The Navy has been around a long time and the very thing that makes us great is the ability for others to step up and get the job done. No one, let me repeat that, no one is indispensable. So, check your LES and see how much time you actually have on the books. Look at your unit’s operating schedule and discuss with your supervisor a good time to take a break. Then, pack up the kids in the car, leave a bowl of food and water in the bathroom for the cat and go enjoy yourself. You’ve earned it. Take care, CDR Gary Martin

Ensign Thomas McKelvey at the controls of a PBY flying over the Pacific during the early years of WWII. U.S. carriers 200 miles east of Midway ready to spring the surprise attack. All we had to do was find the Japanese fleet. “As we took off from Midway on June 3rd, I clearly saw a periscope outside the reef. We were under strict orders not to attack any subs
as the waters were filled with enemy as well as U.S. subs and we couldn’t be sure if they were friendly or not. It’s hard to identify a submarine by its periscope,” McKelvey continued. “I can’t be 100 percent certain, but I believe we found out that the periscope I spot-
ted belonged to the submarine that later torpedoed the Yorktown.” The outcome of the Battle of Midway resulted in the sinking of four of the six Japanese carriers that attacked Oahu on December 7th. The U.S. lost the carrier Yorktown and the destroyer Hammann, but the losses to the Japanese fleet ultimately turned the tide of the war. “When the battle was over, we spent the next several days scouting for survivors of downed friendly aircraft,” said McKelvey. The first day we spotted a pilot and gunner floating in a raft. We landed on the water and picked them up. Eight days later we picked up an SBD crew that had been floating on a raft since the battle; no shade, no water, no food and very sunburned, but other than that, they were in pretty good shape. They were really glad to see us.” When it was all said and done, 29 downed naval aviators, mostly from the initial wave of SBD’s (dive bombers) that attacked the Japanese fleet, were rescued by VP-23 PBYs. McKelvey went on to see extended duty in the South Pacific eventually receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals for his service. But that didn’t end his time in the cockpit. After the end of the war, McKelvey found himself in Europe, this time flying supplies into Germany as part of the Berlin airlift. McKelvey remained on active duty until
the early sixties, retiring as a Commander. After retiring, McKelvey’s life turned in numerous directions. He flew for a charter company out of Las Vegas, worked for the Atomic Energy Commission, supervised the building of industrial warehouses and worked in real estate before ending up at the personnel department at MUSC. The only time McKelvey became emotional was when he spoke of the love of his life, Margaret, whom he married in 1968. She was his constant companion for the last four decades but sadly, Margaret passed away in February 2010. “She loved to spend her time fishing with me,” McKelvey said. I really miss her.” McKelvey spends his time quietly at home now. His days of glory during WWII are now written in history books for future generations, but many of those books will never be completed. They will lack the names of the comrades and brothers in arms who lived and fought and died together. “We still have reunions once in a while,” McKelvey said. “Unfortunately, there just aren’t that many of us still around. Those of us who are still here, well, I was unable to travel to the last reunion. Many of us are just too old or too sick to take long trips. “We were young back then. I don’t remember getting scared when the bombs started falling. All I knew was that I loved to fly and we had a job to do, and we did it.”
SPAWAR - Atlantic marks M-ATV integration milestone By SPAWAR Public Affairs Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic marked a milestone May 28, by integrating the 5,000th Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV). The SSC Atlantic M-ATV integration team installs command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) equipment into the MATVs. These vehicles are then shipped to Afghanistan to aid soldiers and Marines on their daily patrols. SSC Atlantic is responsible for prototyping, testing, integration, installation and quality assurance of all advanced C4I equipment on the M-ATVs. SSC Atlantic has integrated nearly 16,000 MRAP vehicles and 5,000 M-ATVs. More than 8,000 M-ATVs – the next generation of MRAPs – have been authorized. The M-ATV answers an urgent and compelling requirement to protect warfighters with a highly survivable, offroad capable vehicle. The M-ATV mission is for small unit combat operations in highly restricted rural, mountainous and urban environments that include mounted patrols, reconnaissance, security, convoy protection and communications. Like the MRAP integration, the M-ATV project is a team effort involving the vehicle manufacturers, the Defense Contracting Management Agency, industry partners, Marine Corps Systems Command, Army Joint Program Office, Army 841st Transportation Battalion, Military Sealift Command, Air Force 437th and 315th Airlift Wings, for shipping by air, Army Sustainment Logistics Command, Joint Base Charleston, Naval Weapons Station and the Coast Guard. Since the M-ATV is within the MRAP family of vehicles, it is managed by the MRAP Joint Program Office, with the Marine Corps executing the joint program on behalf of the Navy (lead service). “What you are doing here is very important to the warfighter,” said Brig. Gen. Michael Brogan, Commander, Marine Corps Systems Command and Joint Program Executive Officer, MRAP. “Every time an M-ATV goes outside the wire, it saves lives. The government fur-
nished equipment being integrated at SPAWAR plays a key role in that.” “Because of what you do, our warfighters can execute their mission with confidence in the protection and capability provided by the MRAP vehicles,” Capt. Bruce Urbon, SSC Atlantic commanding officer, told the assembled crowd at the SSC Atlantic integration facility. “For this, you should be very proud. I know that I am proud of the whole team.” SSC Atlantic is a leading edge Navy engineering center that designs, builds, tests, fields and supports many of the finest frontline C4ISR systems in use today, and those being planned for the future.

June is “Right Spirit” month Alcohol abuse is one of the largest causes of Navy fatalities. The Navy’s “responsible use” policy on alcohol has resulted in an overall steady decline in alcohol use by Sailors. Unfortunately, excessive drinking continues to be a problem among military personnel. For information on prevention programs like HERO and Right Spirit, visit www.npc.navy.mil/commandsupport/nadap. Nationwide: There are 4 million alcoholics and six million problem drinkers. Alcohol contributes to 20,000 traffic deaths a year. Alcohol contributes to half of all arrests. Alcohol contributes to 25,000 murders or suicides. Alcohol costs the economy $60 billion in lost work, medical/hospital bills, property damage and welfare cases.

New AFGE Master Labor Agreement now official By Mary Anne Broderick Tubman Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs
cal guidance to the negotiating teams. “Negotiating an agreement of this size instead of many smaller ones has saved thousands of hours in resources. This is a good business practice that other common entities throughout the Navy can use. It makes sense, and it works.” The master labor agreement will remain in effect for three years, and can be renewed automatically thereafter with the consensus of all affected parties. “We’re looking forward to working with AFGE to implement the provisions of the new contract,” said Jim Rountree, regional business manager for CNRSE and principal negotiator for the management group.

The concept of a master agreement for the three commands, all of which are headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., began in 2008 when labor relations staff, AFGE leadership, and senior management first discussed the advantages of replacing numerous labor agreements with one consistent document that would create a community of interest for all employees represented by AFGE. “This is an outstanding agreement that will serve AFGE members in the Southeast for a long time to come,” said Gregg Williams, labor relations program director for NRSE.

The agreement also applies to AFGE employees at the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast (NAVFACSE) and the Fleet Industrial Supply Center Jacksonville (FISCJ).

The first 72 hours: The importance of a good sponsor Story and photo by MC1(SW/AW) Jennifer Hudson
Sailors and their families transfer numerous times during their careers, if not to a stateside shore or sea duty assignment, it’s to a foreign land. Moving can be stressful, and brings a slight fear of the unknown along with it. A strong professional sponsor can be the difference between putting a Sailor on the road to success or letting him slip through the cracks which can lead to low morale, disciplinary issues or even financial problems. Sailors aboard Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Charleston have the opportunity to learn the importance of sponsorship during a Sponsor Orientation course offered by Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC). “The first 72 hours are the most important. If the command assigns the right sponsor, it makes a world of difference for that family and Sailor,” said course facilitator Melanie Banham, FFSC personal financial specialist. “I think that sponsorship training is probably some of
the most important training any Sailor will receive during their military career.” First impressions are the most vital elements during a Sailor’s check-in phase. Having a strong chain of command presence ensures a new-comer is taken care of and helps a Sailor adapt to their new environment. The course provides new sponsors with a variety of resources that are available for military members such as personal financial advice, medical information, Navy college information, schools and child care facilities as well as moving tips. Sponsors are responsible for taking this information, contacting a new Sailor prior to their arrival and ensuring they have all the little details taken care of, such as motel arrangements, transportation and checking-in to their command. Some of these Sailors may be married and have children so a sponsor also informs the newcomers about schools in the area or other information related to children and a military family.

Culinary Specialist 1st Class (AW/SCW) Jinnett Santos recently reported aboard NWS Charleston. “I had a great experience with my sponsor. He contacted me from the moment my orders were received to the moment I arrived. My sponsor ensured that my entire check-in process went as smoothly as possible,” said Santos. A Sailor’s sponsor can set the tone for their upcoming tour. “I believe that being a sponsor means being that first impression a new Sailor will keep in his or her mind for the length of their tour. It needs to be a good one so that it sets a positive tone from the very beginning,” Santos continued. “Sponsorship is a serious business. Welcoming a shipmate into a new command is one of the most important jobs a Sailor can have,” said Banham. “But the best benefit of sponsorship is the opportunity to develop life-long friendships.” The next training class is August 5. Contact Melanie Banham at 764-7478.
A good sponsor can set the groundwork for a new Sailor to get off on the right foot.

The only thing that matters is duty By ADM Mike Mullen Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
I had the honor of addressing the graduating class of 2010 from the United States Air Force Academy. They and a select group of college graduates throughout the country are receiving a diploma this month and then raising their hand to defend our nation. As I fly back home to Washington, it is to these young men and women entering our military that I wish to impart some of the same timetested advice I gave our newest Air Force officers. In a word, it’s about duty. Your first duty is to learn your jobs, and learn them well. Know them cold. Know them better than your peers, better even than your superiors. Stay ahead of the technology and the trends, because you are going to be on the leading edge of that change. You are going to be responsible for making sure those you command and those you serve are informed and able to make the best decisions they can, often with little or no notice. You can’t do that if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Become an expert. That is the most meaningful way a junior officer can contribute to the mission. Your second duty is to lead. And there’s a lot that goes into that, I know. Let me just tell you a little of what it means to me. It means loyalty. And loyalty must be demonstrated to seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. It must
never be blind. Few things are more important to an organization than people who have the moral courage to question the direction in which the organization is headed and then the strength of character to support whatever final decisions are made. Leadership also requires integrity. You may, at times, prove better than your word, but you will rarely prove better than your actions. The high standards by which you measure your own personal behavior and that of others, say more about you and your potential than any statements you make or guidance you give. You should strive to conduct yourself always in such a manner that it can never be said that you demanded less of yourself or of the men and women in your charge than that which is expected of you by your families or your countrymen. Leaders today must likewise think creatively. They should be able to place themselves outside the problems immediately before them and look at them from a fresh perspective. While great decisions can be made in the heat of battle, great ideas are usually born in the ease of quiet. You must find the quiet to let your imaginations soar. And that brings me to your final duty — to listen. You must listen to yourselves, to your instincts. You must also prove capable of listening to others, of trying to see prob-
lems through the perspectives of our allies, our partners, and our friends all over the world. No one military, no one nation, can do it alone anymore. It’s why I sat cross-legged in a shura with tribal elders in Afghanistan. It’s why our troops in that war-torn country are working so hard to speak the language and understand the culture. Finally, remember that graduation and commissioning represent only the end of the beginning of your education. The world is now your classroom. Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines are now your teachers. They and their families are the best they’ve ever been: talented, eager, and proud of what they are doing. Take full advantage of their knowledge to improve yours. Show them your loyalty, and they will show you theirs. Demonstrate integrity in everything you do, and they will respect you. You represent the values they have — throughout our history — struggled to defend. Only by earning the support of those you lead can you ever truly hope to become a leader yourself. Only by doing your duty — straight and true — can you hope to prove worthy of the trust this nation places in you today. Best of luck to you all, God bless and congratulations.

Boating safety: Preparation is key to summertime fun on the water By Eric Sesit If you’re thinking about taking a boat ride at Short Stay or any other river, lake, pond or inlet, safety has to be your number one priority. On Lake Murray alone, there were 17 incidents in 2009 that resulted in four fatalaties and four injuries. According to Sgt. Kim Leverich, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, South Carolina ranks 14th in the nation for boating accidents. “As you can imagine, many of these accidents were caused by boating under the influence of alcohol,” said Leverich. “Boating under the influence can cost you up to $6,000 and two years in jail. The summer heat, a moving boat, and a few beers can be a lethal mix. People often don’t realize how much they have had to drink while they are out in the heat and before you know it, they are intoxicated to the point where they can no longer operate the boat safely. There are many ways to decrease the chances of a summertime tragedy. First and foremost is for everyone on the boat to wear an appropriate life jacket anytime the boat is in the water. “After the boat runs into trouble, it’s often too late to try to get a life jacket on. Those precious seconds could be the difference between life and drowning,” said Leverich. “Life jackets have come a long way in recent years. They are
smaller, and more comfortable so there are no excuses not to wear one.” Another way to decrease mishaps is to take a boater’s safety course. A requirement for anyone under 16 years of age, the course is a great way to learn the “rules of the road” and familiarize yourself with the local laws. Make sure your boat has all the required safety equipment onboard. Lifejackets, flares, radio, GPS, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits should be standard equipment on boats. Requirements vary for different size boats, so make sure you have what you need to keep safe. File a float plan with someone you know telling them where you are going and when you plan on being back. Keep your boat in good working condition. Batterys should be fully charged or swapped out. Bilge pumps should be functioning as well as the navigation lights. Engines should be meticulously maintained, especially if going offshore. And one last bit of advice: Never approach a dock faster than you are prepared to hit it. Someone at the boat landing is sure to have a video camera and the last thing you want after that special day on the water is to see yourself on the nightly news.

Safety on the water begins with you. Make sure your boat is seaworthy, have life jackets for all passengers and stay sober!

Water: Our most precious resource Small steps do make a difference. Often, we don’t believe that one person can have much impact on total energy consumption. But in reality, when each of us makes our own contribution, no matter how little it may appear to be, the cumulative effect can become enormous. The average shower lasts seven minutes and uses 35 gallons of water. Let’s assume that half the adult population of the United States-about 90 million people age 20-64 takes one shower a day. If each showered for six minutes instead of seven, the cumulative water savings for that one minute difference would be 450,000,000 gallons of water per day. Individuals can make a difference. The following are a few tips to help save on water use: Repair leaky faucets promptly. One faucet leaking one drop per second can waste 2,400 gallons of water a year. That’s 13 years worth of drinking water for one person. Install low-flow shower heads, toilets and aerators on kitchen and bathroom sink faucets to save water. They will cut water usage by as much as 280 gallons a month for a typical family of four. Shorten your showers. Each minute less you run the shower you could save from 2.5 to 5 gallons, depending on the type of showerhead you have. Fill a basin when you wash the dishes by hand instead of letting the water run. You could save up to 25 gallons of water each time you wash dishes. Don’t leave the water running when brushing your teeth. You could save as much as 9 gallons each time you brush. Fill the basin when you shave instead of keeping the water running. You’ll use only 1 gallon of water instead of up to 15 gallons. Repair “silent leaks” in the toilet. If food coloring put in the tank ends up in the bowl without flushing, it leaks. Repairing the leak will save up to 200 gallons of water a day. If you need to rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, use cold water. Run the dishwasher with a full load, not partial (do the same with laundry). For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. Save hundreds of gallons over the course of a year by not letting water run down the drain. When landscaping use drought-resistant plants. Check the drought tolerance of plants by reducing the amount of watering a few minutes a day (or cut one day a week) to see how well they do. Contact the Utilities and Energy Office if you would like additional information. (843) 764-4478.

Summertime Safety
Even though the official first day of summer is not here yet, summer has arrived for our children. School is out and they are ready for the summer fun to begin. Please remember that children will be playing on playgrounds, sidewalks, along streets, riding bicycles and skateboards in on-base housing areas. Be extra watchful when driving in the housing areas looking out for children at play. Remind children to avoid playing in or near snake inhabited forest areas. We all want our children to have a safe summer of fun. Your cooperation and assistance will go a long way towards achieving this goal. Bachelor Housing
We would like to extend our “CONGRAT’S to Mrs. Rita Johnson on the birth of her new baby girl. Mrs. Johnson is Bachelor Housing’s front desk supervisor. Her daughter was born in March 2010. Fire drills were recently conducted in Bachelor Housing. This is a friendly reminder to all Bachelor Housing residents that the most common place for house fires is in the kitchen or your dryer. Please keep your lint trap in the dryer cleaned after every use. The kitchen is a relatively safe place, but it contains many elements that can lead to household accidents. Here are some things you can do to minimize fire-safety hazards and reduce the risk of fires in the kitchen: Regularly check electrical burners on your stovetop. Clean up accumulated grease. Regularly clean or replace vent screens. Smoke in designated smoking areas only. Avoid wearing loose clothing that can get caught in flames or appliances. Keep the handles of pots and pans pointed toward the back of the stovetop. Never leave appliance cords hanging from counter tops. Know the location, type and purpose of your fire extinguisher. (Kitchen mounted on wall above trash receptacle) Use an approved fire extinguisher or baking soda to put out small flames. Another option is to cover a burning pan with a lid. If anyone’s clothing should catch fire, the rule is to stop, drop and roll. Remember the acronym “PASS:” P-pull the pin, A-
Navy Charleston Shoreline
aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flames, Ssqueeze trigger while holding the extinguisher upright, S-sweep the extinguisher from side to side, covering the area of the fire with the extinguishing agent. Extension Cords present a significant fire hazard. The only extension cords allowed in Bachelor Housing are the electrical power strips with built-in circuit breakers that are Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved. Fire Safety tips
1. In the event of a grease fire on the stove, it is important to know that pouring water on a grease fire will only fan the fire. Use your portable fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. 2. Please do not leave unattended appliances such as portable grease fryers and George Foreman grills plugged in while not in your unit. We are not on a ship and do not have a “Safety Tag” program and we cannot insure the safety of all “over the counter” products. Many of these products have caused numerous fires while left unattended. 3. Females, it is important not to leave curling irons and hair crimpers plugged in and left unattended. Again, these are the types of products left unattended and plugged in that cause fires. 4. It is very important to notify the Bachelor Housing Office if you discover the light on your smoke alarm is not on. This means the battery back-up, which is a safety feature, is not operable and will cause the alarm to fail in the event of a fire. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Bachelor Housing Director Robert Ladue, Bachelor Housing Manager SHC (SW/AW) Anderson or Leading Petty Officer SH2 (SW) Walthall, at 7647646/4144. For any Safety related questions or issues, SH2 (SW) Polanco is Bachelor Housing’s fire warden. Remember, the life you save may be your own! Balfour Beatty Communities
