Pre-game activities kick off at noon, followed by a home run derby at 1:40 p.m. and first pitch at 2 p.m.

When the United States entered into World War II, many of the best Major League Baseball players in the country joined the service and eventually made Norfolk Naval Training Station their home. The base hosted a seven-game “Navy World Series” with lineups that rivaled any pro team from that time period. Gracing the diamond were notable pro players such as Phil Rizzuto, Pee Wee Reese, Dominic DiMaggio and Eddie Robinson.

Master Chief Petty OfďŹ cer of the Navy Steven S. Giordano attended the Sea Service Leadership Association’s Joint Women’s Leadership Symposium June 16, discussing various topics regarding women in today’s Navy.

The annual event allows service members the opportunity to meet with hundreds of fellow women in uniform from around the country and even other nation’s armed forces. More than 800 women attended the event this year covering such topics as caring for the whole self, lifting up the next generation of women and ďŹ nding your own voice, among others.

“

Sometimes, it can be hard for me to see through your lens. That’s why I think it’s so important to have these types of discussions ... .�

Master Chief Petty OfďŹ cer of the Navy Steven S. Giordano “Leadership development is essential to our professional growth and development,â€? Giordano said. “I think it’s great to see this initiative and focus on issues pertaining to women. Who better to advise our women Sailors than women leading Sailors in our Navy today?â€?

Giordano addressed the group focusing on trailblazing women who forged the path women are

lessons learned from leaders he served with, his advice for women in today’s Navy and various other topics. “Sometimes, it can be hard for me to see through your lens,�

Giordano said addressing the mostly female audience. “That’s why I think it’s so important to have these types of discussions so we can all learn from each other.�

As MCPON, Giordano serves as the senior enlisted advisor to the Chief of Naval Operations and Chief of Naval Personnel on all matters pertaining to the United States Navy enlisted force. He is the 14th Master Chief Petty OfďŹ cer of the Navy.

NECC holds warďŹ ghter resiliency forum

Training for Sailors and spouses featured actors portraying scenes dealing with militaryrelated stressors and representatives of organizations offering help

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) held a two-day Warfighter Resiliency Forum at their headquarters for subordinate commands and their spouses, June 14-15, on board Joint Expeditionary Base Little CreekFort Story.

The training featured actors who portrayed four emotionally intense scenes dealing with military-related stressors that apply to all NECC forces.

Representatives from Navy Fleet and Family Service Center, FOCUS,

NECC Recovery Care Management, and NECC Psychological Health Team were on hand to provide attendees with information on the variety of services they offer.

April McBride of FOCUS spoke of the variety of resiliency training offered to service members and their families on Fort Story, such as FOCUS Individual Family Resiliency Training and FOCUS for couples is also offered. FOCUS also provides specialized services for families of service members who have been

wounded, ill or injured.

Cmdr. Robert Hines, psychologist on staff at NECC, coordinated the two-day training event and discussed the importance of continuing the discussion on building resilience. “Resiliency is an important topic for all of us to focus on since we know that military careers will present unique stressors and challenges for both our NECC Sailors and their families,� Hines said. “It is our job as a community to further this discussion on building resiliency so that we can properly rise up to meet these challenges.�

Hines added that additional training will be offered later this year in Port Hueneme, Coronado, and Gulfport, expeditionary concentration areas for NECC forces.

NECC is an enduring warďŹ ghting force providing sea-to-shore and inland operating environment capabilities across the full range of military operations that is focused on delivering combat effective expeditionary forces ready for worldwide operations now and into the future.

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA

Elks Lodge hosts Flag Day ceremony at Oceana

By MC2 Jacob S. Richardson NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Flag Day was celebrated June 24 at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana with a commemoration ceremony, hosted by the local Elks Lodge at the Flame of Hope Memorial.

“The purpose of this service is to honor our country’s flag, to celebrate the anniversary of its birth and to recall the achievements attained beneath its folds,” said O’Connor “It is important for us to observe this day with Sailors from NAS Oceana because we are all part of this community and we want to share this day with those who do their duty to protect this nation and give us our freedoms.”

Flag Day, normally observed June 14, honors the adoption of the stars and stripes as the official flag of the United States.

“This annual ceremony is held by Virginia Beach Elks Lodge 2268, this year we were joined in celebration with Suffolk Lodge 638 and Norfolk Lodge 38,” said exalted ruler of Elks Lodge 2268 Casey O’Connor. “We come together today as a community to celebrate and give respect to the symbol of our great nation.”

During the ceremony, each of the nine flags that have represented the U.S. was presented by a Elks Lodge member, as a description of its history was read.

“In a response to a general demand of a banner to be more representative of our country, Congress, June 14, 1777, provided that the flag of the United States be 13 stripes of alternating red and white and that the union be 13 stars, white on blue

Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Rich Meadows, speaks during a Flag Day ceremony hosted by Virginia Beach Elks Lodge 2268 at the Flame of Hope POW/MIA memorial at NAS Oceana.

field, representing a new constellation,” O’Connor explained.

The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as ‘Flag Birthday’. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of

June 14 as ‘Flag Birthday’, or ‘Flag Day’.

Inspired by the adoption of this new Flag Day by multiple states and local celebrations, Flag Day — the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 — was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson’s proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14 of each year as National Flag Day. O’Connor then explained that the Benevolent and Protective Order of

Elks is the first and only fraternal body to require formal observance of Flag Day, which began in 1908 when their grand lodge made it mandatory for each of the subordinate lodges.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our nation, and to celebrate the American flag,” said O’Connor. Our flag is an undying symbol that represents all our ideals, hopes and the sacrifices of those who have come before us.”

Afterward, O’Connor introduced NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Rich Meadows as a guest speaker. Meadows spoke of the importance of the American flag.

“Whenever our flag is raised, as we do every single day at this air station and at military installations, schools and businesses across the nation, Americans are reminded of our unity in this great cause of liberty and justice for all,” Meadows said.

“Our nation’s flag is hung proudly in schools and homes, honored in parades and stadiums and flown in the field of battle and ultimately folded at the graves of our heroes. It is the absolute symbol of freedom, hope and personal sacrifice,” Meadows added.

The final guest speaker for the event, Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms, was present for his seventh consecutive year.

“Over the years our American flag has changed in appearance but the principles for which it stands remain the same. Dedication to individual liberty, respect for God given rights of all men and commitment to the belief that all men are created equal,” Sessoms said. “Our respect for the flag is a measure of the respect for the men and women who devoted their lives to upholding the freedoms it represents.”

CVN 73 White Owls: From the ship to the field

Lt. Timothy Sullivan, assigned to the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), tries out the Office of Naval Research TechSoultions-sponsored Deployable Ship Integration Multitouch System (DSIMS) located in the Carrier Analysis Lab at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst during pre-deployment training.

DSIMS is a mobile software package that features a digital, touchscreen image of a ship’s flight deck or hangar bay and enables aircraft handlers using a laptop or LCD screen to adjust various configurations from anywhere on the ship, plan operations before deployment and share that information with other DSIMS users.

Old school meets new school: Flight deck Ouija boards go digital

By Warren Duffie Jr. Office of Naval Research ARLINGTON

The flight decks of aviationcapable vessels like aircraft carriers bustle with noise and danger — screaming jets, snapping steel cables and powerful tractors and forklifts. Planning and orchestrating this high-octane dance requires precision and accuracy from those responsible for directing deck traffic.

To make the jobs of aircraft handlers easier, the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) TechSolutions program has sponsored the development of the Deployable Ship Integration Multitouch System — DSIMS, for short.

DSIMS is a mobile software package that features a digital, touchscreen image of a ship’s flight deck or hangar bay, and can be used on a laptop or desktop computer. It enables aircraft handlers to change flight deck configurations anywhere on the ship, plan operations before deployment, and share information digitally with other DSIMS users for improved collaboration.

“This interactive, computerized system is a leap forward for naval aviation,” ONR Command Master Chief Matt Matteson said. “It’s a fairly straightforward technological solution that brings with it tremendous functionality and saves time.”

To track the movements of aircraft and equipment on the flight deck, handlers currently use a tool informally called a “Ouija board” — a waist-high, six-feet-long physical replica of the deck. Located in the ship’s flight deck control center, the board is covered with toy-like plastic models of aircraft, each marked with colored thumbtacks to designate maintenance, fuel or flight status.

The Ouija board’s design has barely changed since World War II. Despite its effectiveness, however, it does have limitations. For example, if aircraft handlers need to plan for upcoming or unexpected scenarios — bad weather or a surprise VIP visit — they must do so while underway, and change the Ouija board back to its original layout after completing the planning session.

By contrast, DSIMS can help

plan such situations months before a ship leaves port. When playing out various flight deck situations — called “evolutions” — on the DSIMS touchscreen, participants can use their fingertips or a computer mouse to move around digital aircraft, to show which aircraft need to be in which location and where crates and other equipment should be positioned.

There also are special screen modules denoting aircraft fueling needs, maintenance requests and availability for flight. Each evolution can be saved and recalled during operations, or used for briefings and training.

“DSIMS allows for planning of future evolutions,” Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, New Jersey Engineer Tim Zieser said. “It also enables aircraft handling officers to create briefs that can be used to inform the chain of command, and train their people before a complex evolution, so everyone is on the same page.”

Zieser recently demonstrated DSIMS at Lakehurst’s Carrier Analysis Lab for Sailors and Marines from the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7), before the amphibious

assault ship deployed.

“The technology is fantastic,” Lt. Timothy Sullivan said. “It lets us make time-critical decisions today, so we don’t have to months from now, over the Ouija board on the ship. It will save us man hours down the road as we execute the mission.”

DSIMS originated in 2016, when a request from Commander, Naval Air Forces, was sent to ONR’s TechSolutions program for a digital, mobile version of the Ouija board. TechSolutions is ONR’s rapid-response science and technology program that develops prototype technologies to address problems voiced by Sailors and Marines, usually within 12-18 months.

Later this year, TechSolutions will deliver a prototype DSIMS for testing and evaluation on several ships, including the Iwo Jima. Zieser and his team hope to see the system issued throughout the fleet next year.

Sailors from the reactor department of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) have a unique way to blow off steam: playing softball.

Electronics Technician (Nuclear) 2nd Class Alexander Kersey, reactor department’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation representative, started the departmental team, the “White Owls,” five weeks ago.

Kersey played baseball throughout high school and is now the team’s captain.

“It’s a pretty good morale-booster,” Kersey said.

“In reactor we spend all day in the bottom of the ship working. So we can get out here and actually play softball and have some fun.”

The team has played six games so far, and even designed their own jerseys. Different teams from other ships come out to play, bringing some friendly competition to the field.

“It’s a great way to blow off steam,” White Owls teammate Electronics Technician 3rd Class Zackary Fowler said. “Working in reactor can be very stressful and it’s nice to come out here, run and sweat a little bit, and have a good time.”

They start by warming up for about an hour before the game, tossing softballs back and forth. Some players grab bats and practice their swings.

About thirty minutes prior to the game, Kersey checks the lineup card and makes sure everyone knows where they need to be. He relays the strategy to his teammates and shares words of encouragement.

A few minutes before game time, families and friends of the White Owls arrive and sit in the stands.

They have cameras ready in hand for the upcoming game.

Once it begins, they all start to work as a team and communicate with each other.

“We come out here, and we form a team, aside from being a division,” Fowler said. “It builds more of a friendship, more camaraderie.”

Although the team is intently focused on the game, everyone remembers it’s all in good fun.

“We’re not worried about winning,” Kersey said.

“We have a lot of new people. It’s good times.”

The fields are located across the street from Pierside Lanes, on the corner of Virginia Avenue and B Avenue.

The schedule of the games varies, so Sailors can contact Kersey for dates and times. Everyone is welcome to come out and support the CVN 73 White Owls.

USS Iwo Jima hosts reception, conducts COMRELs during Bahamas port visit

By MC2 Hunter S. Harwell USS Iwo Jima Public Affairs FREEPORT, BAHAMAS

Sailors assigned to the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and Marines from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit capped off their visit to Freeport, Bahamas by hosting a reception for local distinguished guests June 16.

The 600-person ceremony was co-hosted by Capt. James Midkiff, Iwo Jima commanding officer and Ms Lisa Johnson, Charge d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas and included tours of the ship and a performance from the Iwo Jima Choir, who performed both coun-

tries’ national anthems.

“This entire week was a wonderful experience for all involved. Many Iwo Jima Sailors got to visit a different country for the first time and several participated in multiple community relations projects that allowed them to meet Bahamian citizens, Midkiff said. “From a Strategic standpoint, the Bahamas is a close ally that shares many cultural, educational and security interests with the United States. It was gratifying to come down and re-inforce our support for our friends, while also, experiencing a beautiful island paradise.”

Charge d’Affaires Johnson discussed the importance of

maintaining a bond between the two nations.

“We thank you for hosting us here tonight,” Johnson said. “This visit is a great reminder of the partnership between our two countries on critical security issues such as drug and firearms trafficking and irregular migration.

Beyond those challenges, the U.S. and The Bahamas share a common history, values, commitment to democracy.

Whether it’s ensuring the safety of U.S. and Bahamian citizens, furthering trade and development or promoting clean energy, the U.S. is committed to this partnership with you and every day we will continue to strengthen our relationships to make our

Results of comprehensive review of physiological episodes released From Navy Office of Information WASHINGTON

The Navy released the results of a comprehensive review conducted to determine the causes of and recommendations to eliminate physiological episodes (PEs) within Naval Aviation June 15.

In April Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Bill Moran directed Adm. Scott Swift, commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, to lead a comprehensive review (CR) of the facts, circumstances and processes surrounding recent PEs involving T-45 and F/A18 aircrew.

The CR examined the following factors:

Organizational factors, including command, control and communications; PE analysis and trends; PE corrective actions and processes; Aircrew breathing air systems; Cabin pressurization systems; Cockpit environmental monitoring and alerting systems; Physiological factors, including aircrew monitoring; Aircrew procedures, training and proficiency; Maintenance infrastructure and procedures; Medical training, emergency response and research; PE lessons, including those

from other government agencies and countries.

The CR concluded several steps should be taken to reduce PE numbers and risk. These include: Establish a single, dedicated organization to lead Naval PE resolution efforts. This temporary organization should be headed by a Naval Aviator Flag/General Officer, embrace the “unconstrained resource” approach and fully incorporate all stakeholders.

Redesign aircraft systems to meet oxygen generation system technical requirements.

Execute a multi-faceted approach to improve ECS reliability, particularly on the FA-18. This effort must

thew and then we had two groups here at the school,” Navy Chaplain Lt. Doyl McMurry said. “Some of us were painting the classrooms to give it a fresh look for the kids and another group spent some time reading books to kids and playing games in the school yard.”

During the COMRELs, Sailors and Marines took turns reading stories to the school children, painted sev-

address component reliability, system inspections and testing.

Embrace and resource a methodical PE root cause corrective action process for each aircraft under the single, dedicated organization tasked to lead PE efforts. Additionally, standardize and improve the PE investigation and adjudication process.

Establish an integrated life support system program at Naval Air Systems Command that, at a minimum, manages Naval Aviation oxygen generation and connecting systems; cabin environment and pressurization systems; and physiological monitoring.

This program must regularly leverage the lessons of other organizations managing similar technologies.

Address PE reporting shortfalls, including physiological monitoring; aircrew alerting; and cockpit audio, video and habitability recording.

Based on the findings of the report, the next Chief of Naval Air Train-

eral classrooms, cleaned the school yard and planted several trees.

“COMRELs give the local nationals a positive face of the Navy and it also gives our Sailors and Marines a chance to see the actual faces of the people of the nation and their culture,” McMurry said. “We’re looking forward to many more interactions we can have with the locals in the future.”

ing (CNATRA) will be a more experienced aviation flag officer. The increase in seniority is meant to improve flight safety, address current instructor concerns, and ultimately resume student training. Rear Adm. Jay Bynum, currently serving as Commander, Carrier Strike Group Nine and a two-star admiral select, is scheduled to assume command of CNATRA, later this month.

While the conclusions and recommendations of this CR were developed specifically for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps T-45 and F/A-18, PEs are a known problem in other aircraft and services. Elements of this report will be of value to those attempting to address PEs throughout the U.S. military.

Navy incentivizes the PRT for Sailors From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON

The Navy announced several changes to its Physical Readiness Program in NAVADMIN 141/17, including an incentive for Sailors to validate one physical readiness test (PRT) each year based on their fitness performance.

Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Robert Burke said that during his fleet visits he often hears ideas from Sailors on how to improve the Navy’s PRT process.

“I want Sailors to know we’ve heard them,” Burke said. “Many Sailors work hard to maintain high levels of physical fitness year-round and I believe this provides an

Brooks Marines and Sailors assigned to the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde participate in a 5k run aboard the flight deck of the ship to celebrate the 119th anniversary of the creation of the hospital corpsman on June 17, 2017.

incentive to continue to excel. tive distractions throughout This effort is aimed at both the fleet.” incentivizing physical fitness Those Sailors who pass the and also reducing administra- body composition assessment

(BCA), are within the Navy age-graduated body fat standards, and score an overall “excellent low” or better on the PRT, with no single event lower than a “good low,” will be exempt from participation in the next test. These changes will be effective Jan. 1, 2018, but be based on a Sailor’s performance during the second PRT cycle of 2017.

All Sailors, regardless of PRT performance will still be required to participate in the BCA each cycle. If a Sailor who is exempt from taking the PRT fails the BCA, they will be required to participate in the PRT that cycle.

Additionally, the Navy is also eliminating the use of elliptical machines as an alternate cardio device for use

because of low-usage across the fleet during the PRT. This decision was based on two factors. First, less than 4 percent of the Navy uses the elliptical for the PRT, and maintaining PRT-compliant elliptical machines was becoming increasingly cost prohibitive. Shifting to non-PRT-compliant elliptical machines will allow for more modern elliptical machines in Navy fitness facilities. While the 1.5 mile run remains the service standard, commanding officers may still authorize the use of approved stationary bikes, treadmills or allow Sailors to swim as alternate cardio.

The Navy is also exempting post-partum Sailors from participating in the physical fitness assessment (PFA) for

What goes up must come down. That saying is true in regards to physics; however, that is not what you want to hear in a conversation about helicopters.

To prevent their helicopters from going down while in flight, maintenance crew members, known as maintainers, assigned to the “Spartans” of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70 are working around the clock during phase maintenance to keep their “birds” in the air.

Squadrons like HSM-70 have the mission of providing anti-surface warfare and anti-submarine warfare for the fleet.

HSM-70 Sailors are stationed at Naval Air Station Jacksonville but the Spartans of Detachment 3 are embarked aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG 103) for a regularly scheduled deployment.

The Spartan maintainers are aviation structural mechanics who work on structural integrity and hydraulics; aviation electricians and aviation electronic technicians who work on the navigation, communication and electronic systems; aviation machinists who work on the engines and transmissions; an aviation maintenance administrationman who works on keeping track of flight hours and maintenance log books; and a storekeeper who orders helicopter parts.

Along with the crew of HSM-70 Det. 3

Change to improve sea duty manning POLICY |

Continued from A1 more than 2,800 experienced Sailors to remain in the Navy, filling key sea duty and other high priority billets by the end of 2018.

HYT for all other active duty and FTS enlisted pay grades, as well as enlisted Selected Reserve Sailors, remains unchanged.

The Navy will continue to offer HYT waivers for enlisted Sailors who volunteer for sea duty on a case-bycase basis.

Sailors who have reached HYT with an approved date for separation or Fleet Reserve (retirement) on or after Aug. 1, 2017, but before Jan. 1, 2018, have until July 31, to request cancellation of their orders or execute their orders as originally planned.

Sailors affected by this change to HYT who decide to continue their service in the Navy can take the September, cycle 236, Navy wide petty officer advancement exam or the January 2018 cycle 238 E-7 exam if they maintain advancement eligibility.

are two MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopters and their pilots. Keeping both helicopters mission capable is critical to Truxtun’s mission during deployment. Det. 3’s maintenance personnel have played a major role in accomplishing the detachment’s deployment mission.

Phase maintenance is performed on the helicopters every 200 hours that the helicopter flies. It usually takes between four and five days to complete the maintenance.

“We have to take the aircraft apart in timed intervals and make sure all the parts are good,” Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Mackenzie Lane, an HSM-70 Sailor from Middletown, Virginia said. “If any of the parts are worn or frayed we must replace it to maintain the integrity of the aircraft and ensure the safety of the pilots and crew while they’re in the air.”

There are four phases of maintenance; phase A, B, C and D. Det. 3 is currently conducting D-phase maintenance, the longest and most difficult of the four phases.

Maintainers are opening all the panels, checking all the fluids, looking at all of the wiring harnesses, looking for any foreign object debris (FOD), gouges in the tires, discrepancies with the rotors and performing a top-to-bottom inspection.

“If there are bad parts on the aircraft they can cause other parts to go bad and destroy the aircraft,” Lane said. “Checking for bad parts and replacing as needed makes the aircraft life last longer.”

“On a bigger ship such as an aircraft carrier there will be a maintenance shop with

a crew of 10 or more Sailors to complete phase maintenance,” Lane said. “We are doing more with less on the smaller ships because we have to complete the same amount of maintenance but there are only four of us to do so.”

Just as ships belong at sea, helicopters belong in the air and the Spartans of Det. 3 continue to make sure their helicopters are flying as long as Truxtun is at sea.

Truxtun, homeported in Norfolk, is part of the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group.

GHWBCSG is comprised of the staff of CSG-2; aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77); the nine squadrons and staff of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8; Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 22 staff; guided-missile destroyers USS Laboon (DDG 58) and USS Truxtun (DDG 103); and guided-missile cruisers USS Philippine Sea (CG 58) and USS Hue City (CG 66).

Truxtun is deployed in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations conducting naval operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe and Africa.

Continued from A1 “I couldn’t be more proud of the crew – they set the standard for excellence and established a great reputation for themselves out here,” Davis said. “The successes they achieved were impressive, and the crew overcame every challenge they met with poise and precision.”

Mahan deployed Nov. 19, 2016 in support of theater security cooperation efforts and maritime security operations in the 5th Fleet area of operations.

“The majority of the world’s commerce moves by way of the sea,” Executive Officer of USS Mahan Cmdr. Emily Wall said.

“We ensured safety and freedom of navigation through theater security operations and working with our maritime partners.”

While in 5th Fleet, the crew participated in a tri-lateral defense exercise with the Iraqi and Kuwaiti Defense Forces. In addition to practicing core skills, the event also served as an opportunity to grow and foster partnership and cooperation between the two navies. Mahan also participated in joint naval exercises and operations with France, Great Britain, Australia, Denmark and other NATO partners, highlighting the importance of working with coalitions to preserve the Sea Lines of Communication.

For one Sailor it was the journey that was the most satisfying.

“My favorite part of deployment was getting my Enlisted Surface Warfare pin; I got to see how the ship really comes together to work as a whole,” Gunner’s Mate 3rd Class Emmanuel Tejada said. “It was also great to see the other countries during port visits. Experiencing other cultures really opened my eyes to the other areas and what living is like

six months following the Sailors’ maternity/convalescent leave. This change reflects an increase to the Navy’s increased maternity leave policy of 84 days following child birth. This will ensure Sailors have adequate time to return to weight standards and pass a PRT following a pregnancy.

“We want to ensure our Sailors have adequate time to recover and succeed post pregnancy,” Burke said. “This extended time will help Sailors return to fitness levels and standards in a safe and healthy way.”

in other parts of the world.”

Another Sailor anxiously endured the hours as homecoming drew near looking forward to when he would be reunited with his spouse and see his daughter for the first time.

“Her name is Anahyah Branch and she was born December 5,” Culinary Specialist 1st Class Marcus Branch said. “I am definably excited to see her and my family. But at the same time I have a little anxiety. I will be coming home a stranger to her.”

While in theater, the ship made port visits in Portugal, Greece, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus and Spain where the crew enjoyed liberty, conducted maintenance on the ship, and participated in numerous community relations projects.

“The crew returns from deployment with heads held high,” Command Master Chief Jan Rega said. “Each Sailor went above and beyond to hone their individual skills while operating as a cohesive unit. These efforts greatly contributed to us achieving our ultimate goal of a safe and successful deployment.”

Mahan is the 5th ship named after Rear Adm. Alfred Thayer Mahan, a naval theorist on sea power whose book The Influence of Sea Power Upon History 1660-1763 shaped naval strategy to this day.

With “Built To Fight,” as its motto, the ship was commissioned in 1998 as the 21st Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer, and the first Flight II-variant of the class. She carries a complement of 236 Sailors and 29 Officers.

Reflecting on his 19 years of Naval service, Davis said that this, his 7th deployment, was by far his favorite. “It truly is an honor to lead these incredible men and women.”

Several Naval Surface Force Atlantic (SURFLANT), Command Master Chiefs (CMC) and Command Senior Chiefs participated in a June 13 symposium to discuss initiatives and opportunities aimed at reforming and reshaping Sailor performance.

A heavily weighed upon topic was the new Sailor 2025 initiative.

The program is designed to improve and modernize personnel management and training systems to effectively recruit, develop, manage and reward Sailors, all in an effort to retain the force of tomorrow.

“We are talking about some of the Sailor 2025 initiatives that would bring potential changes to what’s going on with the evaluation system and ready relevant learning, an issue that we read about, but don’t discuss on a daily basis,” Command Master Chief Jon Lonsdale, of Naval Surface Squadron Fourteen said. “Some initiatives have pretty lasting ramifications on a Sailor’s career. We are talking the blended retirement system, things like that. We have to be smart about it and be able to get all of the information down to the deck plates.”

Also discussed were Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson’s four core attributes of a Sailor’s identity: integrity; accountability; initiative; and toughness.

“We will continue to discuss Sailor toughness,” Force Master Chief Jack Callison, of Naval Surface Force Atlantic said, “by informing the CMCs via face-to-face conversations, giving them the tools and talking points so they can be understood, so they are able to execute and get the information down to the junior Sailor on the deckplate.”

Toughness is an essential attribute for Sailors, especially with escalating tensions in the 5th, 6th and 7th Fleet area of responsibilities. The evolution of the preparation and development of Sailors is an important part of Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic, Rear Adm. Patrick Piercy’s toughness initiative which is aimed at readying Sailors for whatever the future holds.

“I’m taking away from this symposium the value of toughness and identity and assuring that junior Sailors coming onboard our ships actually understand why they joined the Navy,” Command Master Chief Sarah Gomez said.

In October 2000, Gomez was stationed onboard the Arleigh Burke-class USS Cole (DDG 67) when it was attacked by suicide bombers while refueling in Aden, Yemen.

“For me, being a part of the Cole attack changed my perception of things,” she continued. “I have a very good understanding as to what we do, why we have force protection, why we have medical drills, general quarters, damage control and why that is so important.

“I put that into play here in this day and age, because of my Cole experience.”

The CMCs also discussed where the Navy is going and how these current initiatives will impact the Sailor of today and the Navy of tomorrow.

“Senior enlisted leaders are always interested in manning issues,” retired Force Master Chief William Slingerland said. “Every day, there is something new that comes out in Navy Times; there is a NAVADMIN (Naval Administrative Instruction), and there is an Operational Naval Instruction about change. Managing change is important. The way you affectively manage those that are in influential positions that have the exposure to the greatest number of Sailors and their families, is to communicate the reason behind so much of the change that we are encountering today.”

“I’m so happy to be invited to join this symposium,” Slingerland said, who was SURFLANT Force Master Chief from Nov. 2001 to June 2002. “Sometimes we have something historical in nature to provide to the conversation.”

The symposium provided a look ahead into the molding of Sailors and what the expectations are from CMCs, in order to promote a culture of identity and toughness in building the future Sailor within the 2025 process.

Sailors and community members from Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY), are rallying around the crew and families of USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) following the June 17 collision with a merchant vessel 56 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka that resulted in the death of seven Sailors.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer sustained serious damage on her forward starboard side, including flooding in two berthing spaces, a machinery space and a radio room and returned to port 16 hours after the collision.

“The actions taken by the Fitzgerald crew after the collision enabled the ship’s return to Yokosuka,” Commander Navy Region Japan Rear Adm. Greg Fenton said.

“Gee, I wish I were a man, I’d join the Navy.”

These words, from a 1917 recruiting poster of a woman wearing a man’s Navy uniform and a jaunty ‘Dixie Cup,’ are a relic of bygone era for women in the Navy today. This is especially so for the ones aboard USS Gladiator (MCM 11).

The forward-deployed Avenger-class mine countermeasures (MCM) ship welcomed their first three female chief petty officers to its crew earlier this year. The three chiefs, Chief Logistics Specialist Monique Graves, Chief Personnel Specialist Aracely Sanchez, and Chief Information Technician Nicole Knight, all checked onboard between January and March. Gladiator is the first MCM to integrate female enlisted Sailors into their crew.

“When I joined the Navy I didn’t expect to ever be put into a position where I would be the first to do anything,” Graves said, of Chesapeake, Virginia.

So how do you combat Zika?

Pretty much as you would any other mosquito – with bug repellents, by wearing long sleeves and by avoiding mosquito-ridden places. These tactics also work to fend off the West Nile Virus that’s been more prevalent in the U.S. the past couple of years.

Beneath the razor

By MC3 Dartez Williams USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

The barbers aboard the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (Ike) know a good haircut can mean much more than passing an inspection.

These Sailors show pride in the service they provide with a combination of razorsharp focus and careful dexterity that serve as a display of dedication to their craft, the importance of which can be overlooked at times.

Since the mid-1800s, a

number of revisions and changes in military grooming standards have remained in a state of constant evolution. Despite these continuous changes, it has remained constant that Sailors must maintain these standards and it all starts with the first thing people notice outside of the uniform: a haircut.

“When I spoke to the detailer, I remember telling him I’ve always prided myself on knowing the value of keeping up a good appearance,” Ship’s Serviceman Seaman James Smith recalled. “I already had an interest in cut-

ting hair and I wanted a rating where I could affect a lot of people. So when the detailer explained to me that a ship’s serviceman could be a barber, I saw an opportunity to develop a useful skill and achieve a personal goal, so I took it.”

During Ike’s 2016 deployment, a diverse group of six barbers tended to more than 5,000 Sailors and provided them with a variety of haircuts. Roughly averaging a combined effort of 50 haircuts per day between the junior enlisted and the khaki shop. Most importantly, the barbers consistently contrib-

uted to overall morale across the ship.

When asked how something as common as a haircut could affect ship morale, Ship’s Servicemen Seaman Thomas E. Dixon replied, “Everyone knows that a haircut can enhance the way you look, but the effects aren’t always cosmetic. When you change the way the world sees you, a change takes place in the way you feel and often the way you perform your job.”

Ship’s Serviceman Seaman Bobby Walker added, “When you feel confident in your

appearance, the way you see your surroundings improves.

When others see that change in you it rubs off on them, which ultimately affects the ships morale for the better.”

Many Sailors aboard Ike speak highly in regards to the consistent quality displayed in both the khaki and enlisted barbershop.

“When I enter the barbershop I feel like I’m at home. I can relax a little, enjoy some conversation, and the haircuts aren’t bad at all,” Logistics Specialist 3rd Class Kaseem Jackson said. “It’s always a good sign when you never have to worry.”

Jackson’s sentiment is shared by thousands of others aboard Ike. The positive comments jotted in the customer

logs reinforce the idea that a visit to the barbershop offers an opportunity for worn out Sailors to refresh before returning to their daily routine.

Whether it’s at sea or in port, Ike’s barbershops remain fully manned and operational, ensuring Sailors are able to walk inside, comforted by the knowledge that they are in safe hands.

Ike is underway during the sustainment phase of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP).

Personnel assigned to Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) and Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit (MDSU) 1 conduct underwater recovery operations off the northern coast of Vietnam in 2011.

Three recovery teams are searching at burial and underwater sites for 13 missing Americans from the Vietnam War. The mission of JPAC is to achieve the fullest possible accounting of all Americans missing as a result of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past conďŹ&#x201A;icts.

Underwater recovery team searches for MIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Vietnam

By MC1 Blake Midnight Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Public Affairs NORTHERN VIETNAM

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) deployed an Underwater Recovery Team (URT) comprised of Department of Defense civilians and U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force servicemembers to northern Vietnam in search of two U.S. Navy aviators who went missing during the Vietnam War, May 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jun 18.

The two men were on a nighttime reconnaissance mission over northeastern Nghe An and southeastern

Thanh Hoa provinces when their F-4B Phantom aircraft vanished from radar, Sept.

21, 1966. To this day, the two men remain unaccounted-for.

This is not DPAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst mission to this site; in 2008 an underwater investigation team used remote sensing equipment to identify possible wreckage on the bottom, and then employed divers to verify what was detected. This technique led to the discovery of the aircraftsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wreckage site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent several previous missions reďŹ ning an area of relatively higher interest within the larger site,â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Piotr Bojakowski said,

an underwater archaeologist and scientiďŹ c recovery expert with DPAA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On this mission, we are conducting systematic test excavations across a larger area, to further reďŹ ne the wreckage debris ďŹ eld, with the intent to locate where diagnostic evidence may have been deposited.â&#x20AC;?

The physical retrieval of this evidence is being conducted by Army divers, assigned to 7th Dive Detachment, 84th Engineer Battalion, stationed at Oahu, Hawaii. Through surfacesupplied diving operations, they dredge the bottom one, two by four-meter grid square at a time.

The dredging is done utilizing a Venturi system, which regulates the pressure of the material as it is pumped through a constricted space.

In this case the constricted space is a six-inch pipe connected to a large metal basket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The diving conditions are less than ideal, water is dirty and visibility is almost zero,â&#x20AC;?

Staff Sgt. Humberto Santiago explains, a diving supervisor assigned to 7th Dive Detachment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom type here has been pretty difďŹ cult, some grid squares are on soft bottom and others are on hard packed mud â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these require a lot more exertion from our divers and are more time consuming.â&#x20AC;?

Once a basket is ďŹ lled on the bottom, a crane lifts it approximately 20 feet to the surface and places it on a barge where other team members sift through its contents. The material from the seaďŹ&#x201A;oor is placed in screens where dirt and mud are rinsed away by hand, leaving residue that is easier to sift through and allows team members to more readily identify any human remains or aircraft wreckage

6$785'$< -8/<

that may potentially be present, and to collect any other possible evidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The screening station is pretty straightforward, it is where all material from the bottom is examined,â&#x20AC;? Santiago said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For team members, this is the time to be very thorough and very methodical, but it is all worth it when we do ďŹ nd something of interest.â&#x20AC;?

If a team member does ďŹ nd something of evidentiary value it is placed in a bucket identifying which grid square it came from and further analyzed and recorded by Bojakowski. If possible human remains are discovered, a joint forensic review team will be sent from DPAA headquarters in Hawaii, and together with Vietnamese ofďŹ cials, they will conduct further analysis to determine if they should be sent to the laboratory for analysis and DNA testing.

The URT spent about six weeks in Vietnam searching for signs of the lost aviators in hopes of providing a full account of the status of these heroes to their families and

Men need to take control of their health June is Men’s Health Month, when men are reminded of the importance of regular exams

“

Men have to actively take care of themselves. If you are having a problem, talk to your physician about it and get the treatment needed.”

By Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola

NAVAL HOSPITAL PENSACOLA, Fla.

A visit to a urologist is not something most men look forward too, but results can range from improved sexual health to early detection of cancer.

June is Men’s Health Month and Naval Hospital Pensacola’s (NHP) Urology Clinic looks forward to this month every year to remind men of the importance of regular exams and to take control of their health care.

The clinic provides treatment for conditions of kidney, bladder and male reproductive organs. Some of the common conditions include male infertility, sexual health, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, urologic cancers, blood in the urine, urinary problems, vasectomies and more.

“The majority of patients that we see are men,” NHP Urologist Lt. Cmdr. David Griffin said. “Unfortunately, men are not always comfortable talking about their health.”

Topics such as trouble urinating or sexual performance

may be hard topics for some men to discuss, but they are all common problems that the clinic sees on a regular basis.

“Men have to actively take care of themselves,” Griffin said. “If you are having a problem, talk to your physician about it and get the treatment needed.”

While topics such as frequent urination or erectile dysfunction may be hard for some men to talk about,

urologic cancers should be a topic all men should be willing to discuss with their physician. Early detection of testicular or prostate cancer will lead to better treatments and outcomes for patients.

For testicular cancer, men should perform regular selfexams while showering. If a lump or something unusual is discovered, an appointment should be made to see a physician.

Men should also let their physician know if they have any family history of prostate cancer and have a prostate exam when they turn 55.

Signs that a man may have an issue with his prostate include frequent urination, difficulties urinating or blood in the urine. These signs could be due to an enlarged prostate, which is another reason to visit the Urology Clinic.

Another common condi-

tion seen at the clinic is kidney stones. Some people just naturally develop kidney stones, but dehydration and diets high in protein and sodium can also cause them.

“Dehydration can cause kidney stones, especially in high heat climates like Florida,” Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Bradley Blackwell said, a urology technician at NHP. “You need to drink lots of water to flush the salts and

calcium from your system.”

Men need to take control of their health, not just during Men’s Health Month but year round. If urologic symptoms appear for men or women, they should make an appointment with their physician. It could be something simple or it could be something that can cause long-term health problems.

‘Feds unite against hunger’ by supporting Feds Feed Families

By Betty-Ann Bryce Feds Feed Families National Program Manager

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) once again will lead the 2017 Feds Feed Families (FFF) campaign with the support of the Chief Human Capital Officers Council and other agency partners.

The campaign will officially begin on June 1, 2017 and run through August 31, 2017.

Feds Feed Families was created to help food banks and pantries stay stocked during summer months when they traditionally see a decrease in donations and an increase in need. In Washington, D.C., the Capital Area Food Bank receives collections and distributes them through its network of more than 500 partner organizations. Through the amazing generosity of federal employees, the food drive has col-

lected nearly 70 million pounds of food for those in need. Last year alone, more than 12.5 million pounds were donated and provided to food banks and pantries. Even as the economy grows stronger, there are still too many people struggling to put food on the table.

All federal agencies, including field components, are asked to participate in the campaign. The field agencies will share their collections with their local food banks with the goal of ensuring that the FFF campaign will stretch across America and be visible and active in every state.

Employees are asked to bring non-perishable food items and place them into a designated collection box located in the federal workplace or take them directly to a local food bank. Donations of

fresh food (fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts) can be made directly to a food pantry in your community — please visit www.ampleharvest.org to find one near you.

You can get more information about most wanted items in area food banks from the Capital Area Food Bank. For those outside of the National Capital Area, visit www. feedingamerica.org for a list of regional food banks (non-perishable food only) or http://www.ampleharvest.org, for a list of local food pantries (fresh produce as well as non-perishable food) in your area to partner with and to send donations. They assist with arranging pick-up and weighing of your donations.

In 2017, as part of Feds Feed Families, employees are encouraged to take advantage of gleaning

SWMI Sim Lab and VR Room helps prepare students for real world patient encounters

By HM1 Jermia Douglas Surface Warfare Medicine Institute Public Affairs SAN DIEGO

The fact is, when one trains properly for real-world scenarios it can help lead to a successful outcome. This is something that is taken to heart within the Navy medical community.

“Train like you fight, fight like you train.”

This is one quote that many can say they’ve heard throughout their Naval career.

In an effort to align training and fighting, Surface Warfare Medical Institute opened its first Simulation Laboratory (Sim Lab) with one simulator in a small room in October 2009. The main purpose for the Sim Lab was to provide a realistic type of training environment for students to safely practice medicine through repetition and handson practice. It also provided the capability to better train Independent Duty Corpsmen (IDC) students through the use of advanced technology.

This provided the students with the same opportunity that is offered to students of civilian medical fields such as nursing and allied health professional training programs.

Positive reviews from the single over-utilized room allowed SWMI to expand the Sim Lab into three rooms with three new simulators in March 2010.

A few years after the introduction of the Sim Lab, a Virtual Reality (VR) room was built in December 2013. The VR rooms provided the same experience as the Sim Lab

while enhancing simulated environments of the Middle East and onboard ships. Currently the VR rooms are used by instructors and students at SWMI and have the ability to add physical stressors to enhance the experience for the students. Smoke, dim lighting, changes in sound, background videos, and various props can be introduced to heighten the experience. This type of capability is designed to bridge the gap between practical scenarios and real world patient encounters.

“It’s a controlled environment where students can get hands-on experience before they go out to the fleet,” Lt. Hope Moore said, physician supervisor for trauma at SWMI. “One of the most significant aids is the development of muscle memory, so that when it comes to treating an actual patient it’s a much smoother process.”

Muscle memory consolidates specific motor tasks into memory through repetition and many of the instructors believe that using the Sim Lab and VR room enrich classroom learning through hands-on practice. Students are able to practice procedures and scenarios in a safe and controlled environment as often as they need. This gives students the chance to practice before they are assessed on their abilities.

Students consider this a tangible way to put all that is taught in the classroom into practice.

“The Sim Lab and the VR room give you more exposure to different types of patient

scenarios, which can help you feel more prepared for testing evolutions and some real-world patient encounters,” Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Devin Miller said, an IDC student.

All of this could not be done without a very experienced team of three civilians responsible for operating, maintaining, and repairing all that is used in the Sim Lab and VR room.

Retired Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman George Frausto, the Sim Lab and VR room supervisor, has seen many students use both over the years. He has been here since the introduction of the Sim Lab. As a prior IDC and SWMI instructor, he has plenty of insight into what it takes to successfully complete IDC School.

“Typically, students who practice the most hours in the Sim Lab excel during their practical evolutions,” Frausto said.

Civilian staff member and retired Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Tim George, another prior IDC and instructor at SWMI, and Erik Eustaquio, a prior Corpsman and SWMI staff member, round out the team that keeps the Sim Lab and VR room able to operate successfully. Their combined knowledge base and experience have continued to make the Sim Lab and VR room a roaring success. .

YOKOSUKA | ‘Total Continued from B1 “Once we received the call about the collision we got in touch with our port ops crews to man up our [Ocean-going Tugs],” CFAY’s harbor movements officer Chief Warrant Officer Galo Moriera said.

CFAY has three Valiant-class tugboats manned by Navy Sailors, the only Navy base in the world with this type of manning. Moriera said the two tugs were underway within an hour of receiving the distress call.

“When the boats arrived on scene, they provided the Fitzgerald an additional P-100 Dewatering pump and hoses to assist in the effort,” Moriera said, whose team provided much-needed damage control support to help Fitzgerald make it back to CFAY. Upon arrival of USS Fitzgerald, Sailors from USS Stethem (DDG 63), USS Antietam (CG 54), USS Chancellorsville (CG 62), USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54), USS Benfold (DDG 65), along with 7th Fleet and CFAY Ship Repair Facility

staff jumped into action to continue damage control efforts and stand watches, allowing Fitzgerald Sailors to recover after spending the day containing flooding, stabilizing the ship and steaming back to base under very difficult circumstances.

“Right now, ships on the waterfront are providing support by manning some of the watches that would be normally be manned by Fitzgerald,” Stethem Commanding Officer Cmdr. Douglas Pegher said. “This is going to be a long process and that crew is going to be intimately involved in the recovery and repair efforts for getting Fitzgerald back to sea again.”

While port operations personnel were doing their part to sustain the fleet, Sailors and community members assembled on shore to support the families. Within hours of the collision, CFAY stood up an Emergency Family Assistance Center for Fitzgerald families.

More than 50 people manned the EFAC around the clock, manning a phone bank, and meeting individually with Fitzgerald family members.

“We had volunteers and Sailors from the Family Assistance Support Team answering phones and counselors from our Chapel, Fleet and Family Support Center standing by to help,” CFAY’s Chief of Staff and EFAC Coordinator Cmdr. Chad Spencer said.

“I was very proud of the job these CFAY community members did. A lot of very distraught and worried family members from across both the United States and Japan called in seeking information during this tragic event,” he said, adding that the call center handled more than 500 calls during the initial hours of the event.

“It was a total team effort,” Spencer said. “The FFSC stands for Fleet and Family Service Center and this weekend we lived up to this virtue and the motto of ‘Service to the Fleet’.”

While Fitzgerald families were receiving briefings from Navy leadership prior to the ship’s arrival, CFAY’s Childcare Development Center provided free childcare.

Continued from B1 Squadron 7 Capt. Alexis T. Walker. “Working alongside Sailors and Marines from the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, our team conducted irrigation repairs, well rehabilitation and levee repairs throughout the region. I’m proud of our efforts this week and the assistance we were able to provide.”

Sailors from Lake Erie spent a week working alongside local government agencies and the Sri Lanka Red Cross to assist local communities with community cleanup, food distribution, and dewatering of wells in support of humanitarian relief efforts in the island nation. Major projects included a three-day irrigation repair in Matara Province and a groundwater well rehabilitation in Kalutara. A total of 125 wells were repaired in Colombo and Galle, ensuring pure water was available to local citizens.

“It was a very rewarding experience for the entire Lake Erie crew,” Commanding Officer of USS Lake Erie Capt. Darren McPherson said. “To be able to help the people of Sri Lanka, to make a difference in their lives, is something they will not soon forget. Moreover, we established

Jeffrey Kim said. “From our Chaplains and Fleet and Family Support Counselors helping Sailors and families cope, to our many volunteers providing meals and other necessities, we all have been working together to ensure the USS Fitzgerald crew and their families are taken care of.”

CFAY Chaplains are providing emotional, religious and spiritual support for community members.

In addition, a special team of counselors will be available soon specifically to serve USS Fitzgerald Sailors. Additionally, the FFSC offers non-medical counseling services.

“Navy Region Japan is 100 percent behind Fitzgerald, her Sailors and her families and will provide around-the-clock physical, emotional and spiritual support during this most difficult time,” Fenton said.

The newly established Sri Lankan Marine Corps worked side-by-side with us each day, and the Sri Lankan Navy liaison elements coordinated our efforts with local officials.

“The attack is without a doubt a significant event in our cryptologic history and should be studied by all,” McInturff wrote in his letter. “Moreover, I believe Liberty’s lasting legacy is the remarkable performance of the crew, when 34 crewmen gave their lives and 170 were wounded, performing their duty that day in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.” Following significant damage from the aircraft strafing, one torpedo struck the ship, resulting in 25 of the 34 casualties.

“While the reason for the attack remains disputed to this day in the minds of many, what is clear is that the entire crew: 16 officers, nine chiefs, 263 petty officers and seaman, three Marines and three

BISMARCK

civilians performed their duties with excellence,” wrote McInturff, who later received a Bronze Star Medal. “Without their heroic efforts, many more would have been killed and the ship would have been lost.”

The keynote speaker for the event, retired Cryptologic Technician (Technical) Senior Chief Greg Welch, also served aboard Liberty and shared his memories and lessons learned from the event with those in attendance.

“Most of us wonder why we do these damage control drills as much as we do,” Welch said. “It’s so that when the real thing happens, you know exactly what you need to do. That preparedness is what saved the ship that day. You never know when these things happen or if it will happen to you, so you need to always take the

training seriously.”

After Welch’s speech, the audience stood as the names of the crew members who perished were read aloud.

Cmdr. Christopher Eng, commanding officer, IWTC Corry Station, reiterated Welch’s message of preparedness before requesting the audience take a moment of silence to honor the victims.

“We must use this tragedy to fight against complacency,” Eng said. “Conflict can strike at any time. Our Navy has been largely untested in the last four decades, which spans the career of our most senior officers and master chiefs.

What will win the day against a near-peer adversary or an asymmetric threat will be the mental and physical strength of our Sailors against that of our adversary.”

IWTC Corry Station, as part of

the Center for Information Warfare Training, provides a continuum of training to Navy and joint service personnel that prepares them to conduct information warfare (IW) across the full spectrum of military operations.

Littoral operations and port access are further enhanced by the ship’s 15-foot shallow draft, ability to interface with roll-on/rolloff discharge facilities, and ease of access to austere and deteriorated piers. This makes EPF 9 an

First MCM to integrate female enlisted sailors Continued from B1 the first in naval history? I never would have thought that would happen for me.”

Female commissioned officers have been serving on MCMs as commanding officers and executive officers for some time, as these positions had separate living quarters. To prepare for the addition of enlisted females, however, the ship was refitted with female living quarters during the ship’s last dry-dock period.

While the berthing might be small, to these Sailors, its meaning is significant.

“That piece of metal, that rack, is where we lay our head down at night,” Sanchez said, a native of Tualatin, Oregon. “Just being around this crew makes us feel like we’re a family and makes us feel safe, and that’s what makes us feel like we’re home.”

Gladiator will provide guidance for USS Sentry (MCM 3) as that ship prepares for its own enlisted female integration. Both ships are planning to outfit their crews in the future with up to 18 enlisted female Sailors of all ranks.

Sanchez said she had never heard of minesweepers in her 18 years in the Navy. But that didn’t stop her from taking on the challenge of learning and adapting to fulfill their new roles.

“It doesn’t matter what gender you are,” Sanchez said. “Leadership comes from your heart and from your experiences.”

Graves agreed, adding that the sky was truly the limit.

“There are so many opportunities available here that you’re not able to do on any other platform,” Graves said.

“I could be officer of the deck, combat information center watch officer, or really everything and anything I choose to be.”

“From the start of my career I’ve always wanted to make my own way,” Knight said, a native of Baltimore. “The reason I chose the Navy was to cover a branch of the service that no one else in my family has covered and to set a new path. I used that same logic to make the choice and go into the minesweeping community. I wanted to be a trailblazer for the junior Sailors and show that if I could do it, they could do it.”

“I think this is a sign of our Navy’s progression,” Commanding Officer of USS Gladiator Lt. Cmdr. Roosevelt B. White said. “I think this transition has been so effective because of our emphasis on being surface warfare professionals. We strive to foster an environment of dignity and respect no matter race, religion, gender, or sexual preference of any crew member and we do not tolerate any type of disrespect. We look forward to integrating junior enlisted female Sailors in the near future.”

“When I first got here and looked around at the Sailors, I didn’t know what to expect,” Graves said. “Now that I’ve fully embraced it, I’m having the time of my life.”

The MCM community continues to search for eligible applicants for the newly-available billets. Along with a new supply chief, the community is looking for 30 hard-charging junior enlisted women to serve on minesweepers.

Gladiator is one of four MCM ships forward deployed to Bahrain and is attached to U.S. Naval Forces Central Command’s Task Force (TF) 52. The Avenger-class MCMs are able to sweep and hunt for mines as well as finding, classifying and destroying moored and bottom mines in U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

TF 52 is the mine countermeasures force of the Coalition Forces Maritime Component Command overseen by the U.S. 5th Fleet. It operates regularly to ensure freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce in the Arabian Gulf, one of the world’s most critical bodies of water for international maritime traffic.

U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations encompasses about 2.5 million square miles of water area and includes the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean. The expanse comprises 20 countries and includes three critical choke points at the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal and the Strait of Bab al Mandeb at the southern tip of Yemen.

International musical icon Lionel Richie to perform June 29 in Portsmouth

By Yiorgio Flagship correspondent

Golden Globe and Oscarwinning artist Lionel Richie, who has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, won the Grammy Award five times, the American Music Award 16 times, and is a fivetime People’s Choice Award winner, will perform June 29 at the Portsmouth Pavilion.

As a member of The Commodores, his No. 1 hits included “Three Times a Lady,” “Still,” and “Easy.”

His solo career includes such mega-hits as “Endless Love,” “Lady,” “Truly,” “All Night Long (All Night),” “Penny Lover,” “Stuck on You,” “Hello,” “Say You, Say Me,” and “Dancing On The Ceiling.”

And who can forget Richie and Michael Jackson co-authoring the benefit song “We Are The World” that sold more than 20 million singles worldwide.

Richie and Irving Berlin are the only two songwriters in

From National Endowment for the Arts

The Chrysler Museum of Art and the Hermitage Museum and Gardens in Norfolk are just two of the museums that recently announced their participation in the 2017 Blue Star Museums program, a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 muse-

history to achieve the honor of having No. 1 records for nine consecutive years.

Lionel Brockman Richie Jr. was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, and lived in a small, predominantly African American community, in the original home of Booker T. Washington. His family home is situated on the campus of what is now Tuskegee University and was previously The Tuskegee Institute, home of the Tuskegee Airmen.

In 1968 while in college, Richie joined a group called “The Mystics,” which would later be renamed “The Commodores.” Walter Orange was the original lead, and Richie played saxophone and piano.

A few years later they signed with Motown Records and began touring as the opening act for The Jackson 5.

The group’s first single, “Machine Gun,” was released in 1974, and reached No. 7 on the U.S. R&B charts. The Commodores would go on to have more singles that topped

ums across America.

Through the program, museums offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel including National Guard and Reserve, and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The current list of Hampton Roads area museums participating in the program is available at arts.gov/ bluestarmuseums and will continue to be updated throughout the

the charts, including “Brick House,” “Just To Be Close To You,” and “Too Hot Ta Trot.”

Already a vocalist, pianist and saxophonist, Richie began writing songs as well. “Three Times A Lady,” “Stuck On You,” “Lady” featuring Kenny Rogers, “Still” and “Easy” were just some of the ones he wrote at this time.

In 1981, Richie decided to pursue a solo career, and between 1981 and 1987, he had 13 top 10 hits, including nine No. 1 singles, including “Endless Love,” a ballad he wrote and sang as a duet with Diana Ross, “Truly,” “All Night Long,” “Hello,” and “Say You, Say Me” for which he won his Oscar and a Golden Globe.

Richie’s accomplishments include World Music Lifetime Achievement Award, Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, ASCAP Lifetime Achievement Award, United Negro College Fund Achievement Award, TV Land Icon Award recipient, Hong Kong’s Rojo Award, World Music Awards

summer.

The Hampton Roads area currently has 13 participating Blue Star Museums, including Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Virginia Beach History Museums, Hampton Roads Naval Museum and Portsmouth Naval History Museum.

The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), a DD Form 1173 ID

Lifetime Achievement Award, National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Governors Award and inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

In 2012, Richie had one of the biggest albums of his career, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 list. He reworked some of his biggest hits as duets with such legendary country superstars such as Blake Shelton, Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker and Little Big Town.

Tickets for “Lionel Richie, All the Hits” start at $45 at the Portsmouth Pavilion Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations. There is a lawn discount with a military ID.
