International partner visits Dahlgren training command

By Kimberly M. Lansdale Center for Surface Combat Systems DAHLGREN, VA.

The Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) Commodore Training (COMTRAIN) visited the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) and one of its learning sites, AEGIS Training and Readiness Center (ATRC), co-located onboard Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP), July 5.

RAN Commodore Justin Jones is responsible for all RAN training. He visited CSCS and ATRC, accompanied by Naval Attache to the United States RAN Commodore Peter Leavy, to discuss AEGIS baseline 9C training and U.S. Navy training initiatives, and to see firsthand how the U.S. Navy is training the RAN Sailors manning the new Hobart class of air warfare destroyers (AWD), which are equipped with the AEGIS combat system.

ATRC Commanding Officer Capt. Pete Galluch and CSCS Executive Officer Cmdr. Chris Simmons welcomed Jones and provided him command overviews, a brief tour of the schoolhouse, and training demonstrations.

“Commodore Jones observed a blended learning solution that includes standard classrooms, hands-on labs [and] simulations, as well as computer-based and interactive courseware training,” Galluch explained. “He was able to see how we have been helping his Sailors implement and execute AEGIS since the beginning of 2014.”

Jones, who was appointed his current role in November 2016, said he enjoyed his time in Dahlgren.

“I was impressed with the quality of training Sailors receive to effectively operate the AWD’s AEGIS combat system,” Jones said.

“I also appreciated meeting with leadership to reemphasize the USN and RAN’s growing partnership.”

CSCS’ international training is coordinated through the command’s Security Assistance and International Programs directorate. Their mission is to provide allied forces quality training to enable them to develop ready teams capable of operations that maintain and expertly employ surface combatants.

CSCS International Programs Director Dr. Darrell Tatro and CSCS International Programs Training Technology and Tools’ Mr. Lloyd Kleinman briefed Jones on CSCS’ current technology initiatives, including the Synthetic Combat Operator Trainer (SCOT),

“We demonstrated how we are currently training U.S. and RAN Sailors, training tools we have exported to Australia, and future development initiatives that are forthcoming between our two nations,” Tatro explained. “We share a special partnership with the Royal Australian Navy and we will continue to focus on facilitating an exchange of ideas, information and training material as we progress with the AWD program.”

CSCS’ mission is to develop and deliver surface ship combat systems training to achieve surface warfare superiority. CSCS headquarters’ staff oversees 15 learning sites and detachments located throughout the continental United States, Hawaii, Spain, and Japan. CSCS provides more than 528 courses, awards 116 different Navy Enlisted Classifications (NECs), and trains more than 37,000 Sailors each year.

CSCS delivers specialized training for officer and enlisted Sailors required to tactically operate, maintain, and employ shipboard and shore-based weapons, sensors, and command and control systems utilized in today’s Navy.

The Navy eliminated seven shipboard collateral duties in NAVADMIN 168/17, released July 11, and tasked a working group to further review all collateral duties for the potential to be eliminated or consolidated.

The seven collaterals identified for immediate elimination were selected from a review of Fleet units and will have minimal impact to mission: Athletics Officer, Library Officer, Health Benefits Advisor, Community Relations Project Officer, Enlisted Safety Committee (Safety petty officers have not been eliminated, but the Committee will be combined into the Enlisted Safety Council), Knowledge Management Officer, and Voting Officer.

This effort is part of a larger objective to remove unnecessary burdens and distractions from Sailors to allow them to focus on core warfight-

ing and to better allow leadership to evaluate Sailors on performance in their primary duties.

“There’s this idea that without a bunch of collaterals, you’re just not going to be competitive for advancement, and what that does is water down our mission focus,” Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson said during an April allhands call in Hampton Roads, Va. Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Adm. Bill Moran has been closely involved in the development of this NAVADMIN and signed as the releasing authority. VCNO notes the next step is to identify additional collateral duties that are trivial, have outlived their usefulness, are implicit in primary billet descriptions, or should be temporary only.

“It’s not just about removing collateral duties,” Moran said. “It’s about taking a hard look at all the demands we put on our ships, squadrons and our Sailors, and refocusing our efforts on eliminating the unnecessary tasks that ultimately distract

our Sailors from their primary duties.”

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Steven Giordano will lead a working group to conduct a comprehensive review of all collateral duties and will report his findings, via Fleet leadership, directly to CNO later this summer.

Navy leadership asked the entire Fleet to participate in this effort by identifying outdated or redundant duties for the working group’s consideration.

“The NAVADMIN itself is just letting the Navy know that we are truly looking at this, and the way ahead will be determined by them, so their input is going to matter in this,” Giordano said. “I encourage everyone to be part of it.”

Warfare center working group quickly meets NAVAIR requirement with 3-D printers U.S. Navy photo by Dustin Q. Diaz Dung Su, Frank Neukam, Sam Pratt, Jonathan Hopkins, Keith Brennan and Ryan Franke, all employees with Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, display additively manufactured aviation part they rapidly produced in a ďŹ rst-ofits-kind response to a critical eet need in West Bethesda, Md., May 31, 2017. Carderock engineers collaborated with other commands from the Additive Manufacturing Warfare Center Working Group, including NSWC Indian Head and Dahlgren and Combat Directions Systems Activity Dam Neck, to fulďŹ ll a request from Naval Air Systems Command for parts to restore stalled training operations for the T-45 Goshawk.

By Dustin Q. Diaz Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division Public Affairs BETHESDA, MD.

In a ďŹ rst-of-its-kind effort, the Additive Manufacturing (AM) Warfare Center Working Group (WCWG) recently combined their knowledge and resources to use 3-D printing to rapidly respond to a critical need from the eet.

The group, comprising members of all of Naval Sea Systems Command’s (NAVSEA) warfare centers, began working in late May to respond to a request from Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to restore stalled training operations for the T-45 Goshawk.

Liz McMichael, the AM integrated project team lead, said NAVAIR sought help when naval air crews ying the T-45 for the Aircrew Systems Program OfďŹ ce (PMA-202) began experiencing an increase in physiological episodes (PEs). A PE occurs when the aircrew experiences physical effects, from a lack of oxygen, contamination of air ow, or uctuation in cabin air pressure, that impair their ability to safely y their aircraft.

The Navy concluded a comprehensive review of the issue, April 21.

The review determined that PEs are a complex problem with possible interrelated causes, and the investigation into the root causes of the problem is ongoing.

McMichael said that while a longer-term solution is being sought, the short-term solution is a ip-top valve that will allow pilots to breathe cabin air at lower altitudes. She enlisted the assistance of the other members of the working group to help Naval Air Stations (NAS) Patuxent River and Webster Field quickly produce the valves in the needed numbers.

Sam Pratt, a mechanical engineer with Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division’s AM Project OfďŹ ce, said the ďŹ rst parts

came off the printer less than 48 hours after they got the call. “It’s a really cool example of what you can do with additive manufacturing on short notice in the real world,�

Pratt said. “In this case, we’ve got this need. A critical system is down.

We need to ďŹ gure out how we can ďŹ x it and get these pilots back in the air. We needed a lot of parts on really short notice. “With AM, you don’t need any tooling, you just need the design and, in this case, we have that. So there’s no need to spend millions of dollars over many months to create an injection molding shop and deal with all the logistics there. In the span of about a week and a half, we’ve gone from design to approval to manufacturing and then installation.â€?

McMichael said meeting the short timeline to print the valves, which were designed to be printed on in-

dustrial polymer 3-D printers, would have been impossible without using resources across NAVAIR and NAVSEA. Jonathan Hopkins, deputy branch head of NSWC Carderock Division’s Additive Manufacturing Project OfďŹ ce, said the Carderock personnel engaged the rest of the working group to establish a distributed manufacturing base, which included printing at the nearby NSWC Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Division and NSWC Dahlgren Division and Combat Direction Systems Activity Dam Neck to provide parts by the June 2 deadline. NAVAIR provided funding to NSWC Carderock Division, May 26, which moved forward with a uniďŹ ed AM presence among the command’s codes and partner printers, producing 48 of the needed valves over Memorial Day weekend, and more than 300 altogether.

Frank Neukam, supervisor of NSWC Carderock Division’s Engineering Support Group, said collaborating within Carderock and the AM working group to quickly meet this need was an awesome experience for him; one he found particularly meaningful as the work produced a tangible beneďŹ t to the eet and its war ďŹ ghters. “This is exactly what this type of technology should be used for,â€? Neukam said. “I think it came out really well, and it gives us hope for the future, absolutely.â€?

“

It’s a really cool example of what you can do with additive manufacturing on short notice in the real world.�

Truman concludes crew certiďŹ cation III

By MC2 K.R. Jackson-Smith USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs PORTSMOUTH, VA.

The Aoat Training Group (ATG) tested the crew of aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) on their knowledge and application of mission essential skills during a condensed Crew CertiďŹ cation Process (Crew Cert) Phase III July 11-12.

The certiďŹ cation ensured the ship and its crew were fully prepared to close out the planned incremental availability (PIA) cycle at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) in Portsmouth, Virginia. During Crew Cert III, evaluators spent two days gauging the crew’s ability to protect the ship and each other from any casualty that may occur during underway operations, emphasizing emergency drills.

This is an essential process upon the completion of a repair period greater than nine months to ensure the ship is

ready to proceed to the next phase of training safely with a qualiďŹ ed crew. “We shifted our priorities from maintenance to training,â€? Executive OfďŹ cer of Harry S. Truman Capt. Cassidy Norman said. “Team Truman completing Crew Cert III means we can safely combat ship casualties. We got the ship ready. Now we also have the crew ready to get this warship to sea.â€?

The assessment team, consisting of Truman, Carrier Strike Group 8 (CSG8), Naval Air Force Atlantic (AIRLANT) and the Aoat Training Group (ATG) personnel reviewed the crew’s level of knowledge through several examinations, including: damage control, medical, watchstanding qualiďŹ cations, navigation, and operations.

Truman’s Assistant Training OfďŹ cer, Lt. Paul Lyne, explained that weekly general quarters evolutions Truman completed moving into

Crew Cert III were key because they highlighted areas of focus on an individual and ship-wide scale. “Since the beginning of the PIA, we have taken a steadystream approach to training in order to keep the crew up to the Truman standard,�

Lyne said. “Our crew certiďŹ cation phases looked at two major things: familiarity of equipment, its purpose and proper use and for our Sailors to understand we are not only preparing them to use this equipment, but we’re preparing them to be proďŹ cient Sailors by providing learning opportunities in a controlled environment.â€?

Controlled training environments provide Sailors the opportunity to learn at their own pace. Aiding in this process, damage control training team (DCTT) members instructed Sailors on proper damage control procedures throughout various scenarios. “My repair locker worked on Charlie ďŹ re drills, pipe patching to ďŹ ght ooding casualties, and loss of communication evolutions,â€? Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Kristen Sink said, a DCTT member in repair locker Seven Bravo. “DCTT makes sure our Sailors have

a safe [GQ] environment and that we have provided adequate training so our teams know what they’re doing as they move through the evolutions. Our training helps build the muscle memory the crew will rely on in a real situation.�

Cmdr. Richard Norvell highlighted that Crew Cert III is Truman’s ďŹ rst step out of the maintenance period training cycle and into the basic phases of unit level training that includes exercises like Tailored Ship’s Training Availability (TSTA)/ Final Evaluation Problem (FEP) before working up to more integrated exercises like Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMTUEX). “When ATG is aboard the ship we are Team Truman,â€?

Norvell said, director of Aviation Training Aoat Training Group, Norfolk. “We’re here as a part of the crew to make sure we’re getting better.â€?

Truman is ďŹ nalizing a Planned Incremental Availability (PIA) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard for maintenance and refurbishment of shipboard systems while preparing for future operations.

NAS Oceana hosts ASBP blood drive

By MC3 Molly Diservio NSA Oceana Public Affairs

MC2 Jacob S. Richardson

VIRGINIA BEACH

Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana hosted an Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) Blood Drive on June 30th in the CNATTU hangar.

The ASBP provides quality blood products for service members, veterans and their families in both times of peace and war. As a joint operation among the military services (Army, Navy, Air Force), the ASBP has many components working together to collect, process, store, distribute and transfuse blood worldwide.

The Event supervisor, Lt. Cmdr Joanne Sproule, attached to Naval Medical Hospital Portsmouth, expressed her belief that blood drives are very important. “When you donate blood you don’t always see the affect it has, but your dona-

tion could be the different between life and death for a fellow service member,” Sproule said. “Donated blood can even present a service member’s loved one from being lost to soon due to an accident or life threatening disease. That is why we are always in need of donors. The blood here today could save many lives, the lives of people you know or maybe even your own.”

The mission of the ASBP is to provide quality blood products and services for all customers in both peace and war. It is tasked with the collection, processing, storage and transportation of blood and blood products to ill or injured service members, veterans and their families worldwide.

Raven Holloman a civilian nurse from Naval Medical Hospital Portsmouth who was drawing blood for the drive said some of the major restrictions for possible donors are HIV or other blood diseases, cancer, and any heart issues.

“There is no age maximum as long as you are 18 and older and meet the requirements you can give blood,” Holloman said. “Just last week we had an 80 year old give blood. All donated blood goes to a good cause so the more volunteers we can get the more people we can help.”

The ASBP was begun by President Harry Truman in 1952. It has been a fully-operational, distinct blood program since 1962. After the

Korean War, the ASBP took over collecting, processing and transporting blood products for the military community from the American Red Cross.

Since the ASBP’s inception over 60 years ago, more than 1.5 million units of blood have been provided to treat battlefield illnesses and injuries. While ASBP blood recipients are most often thought of as deployed service members injured in the line of duty, the ASBP also supports the peacetime needs of military personnel and their families.

Blood must be available to military hospitals for scheduled and emergency procedures.

Additionally, the ASBP’s recipient base extends beyond the mili-

tary community. In cases of natural disasters or other catastrophes, the ASBP is called upon to serve civilians in need, not only here at home but globally during humanitarian missions. Anyone receiving blood products in a combat area will receive blood through the ASBP. “Military blood donations go to military. In the military we are all together, everyone is someone’s brother or sister so everyone should be looking out for each other,” Holloman said.

Sailors who are interested in donating blood can ask their command medical team for more information, or visit www.militaryblood. dod.mil.

OS: On the Radar

By MC3 Krista DaCosta USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs NORFOLK

Somewhere on the O-3 level of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) (Ike) lays a secure space that only a select few have access to.

Monitors, radars and other state-of-the-art systems illuminate the faces of these Ike Sailors as they vigilantly and cautiously scrutinize every screen.

This group of men and women who operate these advanced pieces of equipment is known as Ike’s operations specialists (OS). More than 30 OSs work in unison with other departments on Ike to monitor potential threats and maximize the overall security of the ship.

“Our division’s number one mission is to defend the ship,” Operations Specialist 1st Class Bridgette Poteat said, an operations intelligence leading petty officer.

“Our job is very extensive and includes operating radars, locating aircraft and surrounding vessels, and identifying if they are friendly or hostile.”

Most departments are selfcontained when it comes to tasks, but when it comes to OSs, it’s a completely different story.

“We disseminate pertinent tactical combat information

MCSN Joshua Murray/ Petty Officer 1st Class William Hipp, from Fort Mill, S.C., tracks surface contacts in the tactical operations plot of the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

to the command,” Operations Specialist 1st Class Marcus Price said. “When we go underway, we’re a part of every evolution that the Ike goes through from start to finish. Whether it is navigation

on the bridge, controlling inbound helicopters, man overboards or collecting information, we are interlinked with almost every department aboard. I like to think of us as a chain link to other departments. If any of those links break we have an extremely hard time carrying out Ike’s mission.”

Teamwork is a staple of every department and operations specialists embody this characteristic with a variety of shipboard operations.

“If we locate a ship from

40 miles out, we then contact deck department to gather information about the type of boat, country of origin and size of crew,” Poteat said.

“From there, we send the information to the bridge.”

Operations department works around the clock to maintain the safety of the ship. OSs stand multiple watches per day where they monitor combat systems, look out for potential collisions, assist with air traffic control, and disseminate this information to other depart-

ments on the ship.

“We stand one to two watches per day that have no room for error,” Poteat said.

“Even though you don’t usually see us, we are always working. There’s at least ten OSs on watch at all times.

The ship would not be able to defend itself without OSs aboard.”

Ultimately, OSs are essential in helping maintain the ship’s safety, and their unique skill set only adds to the diversity of Sailors across the deckplates.

“We are the jack of all trades. We technically do eight different rates and don’t have one specific thing we do,” Price said. “Our flexibility and diversity of skills makes us [integral] to Ike’s shipboard activities.”

Ike is in port during the maintenance phase of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP).

Lincoln Sailors save a life MC2 Kaleb R. Staples/ The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) approaches Naval Station Norfolk May 12, 2017. Abraham Lincoln returns to Naval Station Norfolk after successfully completing its mid-life refueling and complex overhaul and spending several days conducting sea trials, a comprehensive test of many of the ship’s key systems and technologies.

By MC3 Matt Herbst USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs NORFOLK

The quick actions and medical training of Sailors assigned to Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) saved the life of a civilian working aboard the ship, June 14, while it is moored in Norfolk for a carrier incremental availability in preparation for workups.

At approximately 5:30a.m., Master-at-Arms 2nd class Casey Sanders discovered the man lying on the ground in the hangar bay aboard Abraham Lincoln.

After quickly identifying that the man was not breathing and had no pulse, Sanders began chest compressions in an attempt to resuscitate him. Within one minute of the casualty alarm, a medical team responded, connecting an artificial external defibrillator (AED). After two shocks from the AED, the machine showed a continuous heart rhythm.

“I was sleeping in my rack when I heard the casualty called over the 1MC so I got up and responded,”

Hospital Corpsman 3rd class Drake Gibson said. “When I arrived on the scene I took over chest compressions. During my first cycle he started breathing and making noises. Civilian emergency medical service arrived on scene and took over from there.”

The man was transported off-

ship by civilian emergency medical service to DePaul Medical Center to receive further treatment.

“For several of the corpsmen this was the first time they had participated in a real-life code event,” Lt. Cmdr. Louis Grass said. “This gentleman would have died if it was not for my team.”

Abraham Lincoln’s security department trains watch standers for any situation that may arise, said Chief Master-at-Arms Brent Ransome.

“It gives me a sense of pride to know that students are taking in the training we provide and are able to translate it into real scenarios,”

Master-at-Arms 2nd class Travis Markovich said, Abraham Lincoln’s security department medical trainer. “It does not surprise me that Sanders responded as he did and saved that man.”

Navy announces NEC code overhaul and updated enlisted rating communities and career fields From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON

The Navy announced July 13 in NAVADMIN 174/17 that as part of its Sailor 2025 efforts, the service will implement a new Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) code construct this October and also realign enlisted rating communities and career fields.

“These efforts are about warfighting readiness and are absolutely critical to the development and implementation of the Navy’s Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) and rating modernization initiatives,” Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Robert Burke said. “Not only will these changes improve our personnel and billet management processes to assign the right individual to the right job, but it will ultimately provide us the ability to train and repurpose elements of our force to meet a rapidly changing world.”

Beginning in October 2017, NEC codes will have four alpha-numeric characters and be organized into 12 communities and 23 career fields as part of the new construct.

These revised communities and career fields, which can be viewed at www.public.navy.mil/bupersnpc/reference/nec/pages/default. aspx, were developed within the rating modernization working group and will replace the current occupational fields and associated ratings listed in the Navy Enlisted Occupational Standards Manual (NAVPERS 18068F, Volume I). As new NEC codes are developed, they

will be created using this new construct.

The new career fields and communities will not only aid the rating modernization effort, but they also more directly translate to civilian occupations and will help facilitate licensing and credentialing efforts.

Going forward, the first digit of the new NEC code will be based on a Sailor’s community and identify the individual’s respective career field.

The second and third digits will be unique alpha-numeric identifiers developed by the Navy Manpower Analysis Center. The fourth digit will represent how many blocks of training remain for a Sailor, or if the NEC code is not yet part of blocked training.

For example, the current NEC code for a Logistics Specialist Postal Basic (NEC 2800) would become S000 under the new construct.

- 1st Digit: S (supply career field) - 2nd Digit: 0 (part of unique identifier assigned by NAVMAC) - 3rd Digit: 0 (part of unique identifier assigned by NAVMAC) - 4th Digit: 0 (all blocks complete) 1 (1 block remaining) 2 (2 blocks remaining) 3 (3 blocks remaining) 4 (4 blocks remaining) Letters A-Z (NEC code is not associated with blocked training).

Another aspect of the revised NEC construct currently being developed is a two digit suffix to the NEC code which will contain additional information about a Sailor’s skillset. This is intended to better capture a Sailor’s proficiency, ex-

perience and currency, which is a fundamental element of the Navy’s rating modernization efforts.

Quarterly updates, released in NAVPERS 18068F, VOLUME II Navy Enlisted Classifications, will identify the Navy’s 1,400 NEC codes that have completed their conversion to the revised construct.

No action is required on a Sailor’s part — these changes will occur automatically.

Navy Medicine East Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA. PORTSMOUTH, VA.

“I’ve known since I was a little kid that I wanted to work in medicine,” Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Navy Medicine East Cmdr. Michelle Perkins said. “My dream was always to be a pediatrician.”

“My dad was a doctor, so I had the opportunity to go to the hospital with him while he delivered babies,” Perkins added. “I knew I didn’t want to deliver them; I wanted to take care of them.”

Perkins went to medical school at Louisiana State University School of Medicine (New Orleans) through the Navy Health Professions Scholarship Program. After completing her pediatric residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego, she served at the Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital at Twentynine Palms, California, where she not only fulfilled her dream but also received the Outstanding Pediatrician of the Year Award for U.S. Navy, Uniformed Services West Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics.

After working at Twentynine Palms, she received orders as a pediatrician to Naval Hospital Jacksonville.

There she took on the collateral job of the Chief Medical Informatics Officer and assisted with transitioning the hospital’s emergency department from paper records to electronic health records.

“The transition to electronic health records can be painful. And taking on that challenge in the emergency room was a big deal,” said Perkins. “Having strong relationships with the information systems technicians, Nursing Informatics Officer and hospital leadership were all crucial for a smooth transition.”

It was Perkins’ role as NH Jacksonville Chief Medical Informatics Officer that led to her decision to take on a larger role in Informatics at Navy Medicine East.

While she still squeezes in time to provide pediatric care, Perkins and the Navy Medicine East medical informatics team oversee, collaborate and assist in health informatics programs and platforms across approximately 100 facilities in the eastern hemisphere—from virtual health to the enterprise-wide transition to Military Health System GENESIS—the Department of Defense’s new electronic health record.

Navy Medicine (in collaboration with Navy Medicine East) provides the strategy, guidance and governance in the informatics world, supporting the medical treatment facilities on their various initiatives and challenges.

“It’s the people at the deck plates who have the great ideas about how technology can be used to support health care,” Perkins said. “At Navy Medicine East, we take in those ideas and look at the technical aspects from a broader perspective, utilizing all of our resources while trying to avoid redundancies.”

For example, in San Diego there’s a tele-critical care project where an intensivist (also known as a critical care physician) or an adult pulmonologist can monitor a patient located across the country. They can see the patient in their room, view their vitals and chart virtually in real-time in collaboration with the onsite resident or a staff member who is working hands-on with the patient. The virtual physicians monitor the patient’s treatments, from medications to radiology results and make recommendations on any additional interven-

Brian Bowes, chief medical informatics officer, Navy Medicine East and Dr. Robin Marshall, chief medical informatics officer, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth; communicate with staff from Navy Medicine East’s health care facilities across the eastern hemisphere during a virtual health project meeting conference call.

tions that might be needed.

“We collaborated with the staff in San Diego to support our treatment facilities with a similar tele-critical care project, instead of starting our own,” Perkins said.

“About a year ago we launched the project with Camp Lejeune as the pilot, and have just recently expanded these capabilities to Jacksonville with San Diego providing tele-critical care services on an as needed basis.”

Regional support is also shown through joint initiatives like the Outpatient System Integrated Product Team, which allows clinicians to give feedback when they have concerns with the legacy outpatient electronic medical records system (CHCS/AHLTA). Perkins is on the Outpatient System Integrated Product Team as the Navy representative and reviews system change requests from treatment facilities.

Programs such as Outpatient System Integrated Product Team are a vital form of communication not only within Navy Medicine but the entire Military Health System while switching from legacy systems to MHS Genesis.

There’s also the Tri-Service Workflow Advisory Group, which includes the Air Force, Army and Navy reviewing the clinical workflows, such as what happens for a doctor when they go in and see a patient, or from the standpoint of the patient. This collaboration among the different services will marry up the way providers practice medicine with the electronic health systems in a way that makes sense to nurses, clinicians and patients.

“We’re always looking at the different things we can use to help support clinicians, either in providing better care or a better way of gathering data about the care that’s being provided,” Perkins said. “At Navy Medicine East, the most important thing is that we support the military treatment facilities across the globe in supporting patients’ needs, and that’s the end goal.”

NME oversees the delivery of medical, dental and other health care services to approximately one million patients—including the Tidewater Military Health System which brings together McDonald Army Health Center, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley. Plus, its public health activities extend globally. For more information, visit www. med.navy.mil/sites/nme.

The January 2018 Navy-wide enlisted examination (Cycle 238) testing date for active duty and full time support Sailors who are advancement eligible to the paygrade of E7 was recently announced in Naval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 175/17, released July 14.

Each Navy advancement examination consists of 25 professional military knowledge and 150 job-specific rating technical questions.

The Navy-wide examination date is January 18 for USN and Full Time Support (FTS) Sailors eligible to advance to chief petty officer, as well as E6s who are required to take the E7 exam for the limited duty officer program.

“Bibliographies (BIBs) for the E7 January exam are available for download on My Navy Portal and the Navy COOL website,” Master Chief Electronics Technician James Berhalter said, command master chief of the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC). “The E7 advancement process differs from the E4E6 process in that the final multiple score (FMS) consists of only two elements that are used to rank order eligible E6s: the exam score and performance mark average (PMA).”

Participation in the January exam is only a part of the advancement process for E7. The top 60 percent, ranked by FMS, in each rating get to compete for advancement against peers and have their record sent to the E7 selection boards.

Selection board eligibility results are normally released in midMarch on the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website.

During Advancement Examination Readiness Reviews held at NETPDC, visiting E7-E9 fleet subject matter experts in each enlisted rating ensure all examination questions can be linked to current references and publications. As rating subject matter experts (SME) select questions for the examination, an examination bibliography is developed for that specific cycle’s exam, based on the source references used to formulate questions on the exam. The Navy Advancement Center (NAC) updates bibliography information as fleet instructions and manuals change, and it is recommended that candidates check their bibliography a few times prior to the exam administration date to make sure they have the most recent BIBs. “Bibliographies and their listed references should be a critical part of each Sailor’s exam preparation program,” Berhalter added. “When the Cycle 238 exams were created, each test question was tied to a specific reference, and the bibliography is a compilation of all references used to create that specific exam. With that in mind, I would recommend Sailors use only the official Navy bibliography sources for studying their references.”

To download the bibliographies and an exam-specific topic list for the upcoming cycle, go to the Navy Advancement Center’s Web portal at www.nko.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/bibliographies, the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) website at www.cool.navy.mil/usn under the credentials tab, or My Navy Portal at www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/bibliographies.

Specific information on exam eligibility, clearance requirements and evaluation date requirements are detailed in NAVADMIN 175/17 and on the NEAS website. The NEAS website also enables education services officers (ESO) to verify and correct the list of eligible candidates for their command, and confirm examination ordering information.

E7 exam profile sheets provide candidates with information on how well they did on each topic area, and detail individual FMS totals, as well as minimum selection board cut requirements.

MCSN Joe J. Cardona Gonzalez/ A landing craft, air cushion assigned to Assault Craft Unit 4 approaches the well deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7). The ship is underway with Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 4 and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (26th MEU) conducting PHIBRON-MEU integrated training in preparation for their upcoming deployment.

Iwo Jima amphibious readiness group departs for PMINT From USS Iwo Jima Public Affairs NORFOLK

PMINT is composed of three phases — embarkation, conducting integrated training, and debarkation. The training tests the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to embark the MEU personnel and conduct integrated warfighting operations through a series of planning exercises, surface gunnery and communication scenarios and air defense exercises.

“All of the various events taking place throughout PMINT are just the beginning of what the Iwo Jima ARG will conduct together over the next few months, as we head into deployment,” Midkiff said. “The goal is to hit the ground running when it is time to deploy and over the next few weeks and months integrate into a cohesive team that will be ready to respond and execute multiple missions.”

The Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group is commanded by Capt. Kirk A. Weatherly, commodore, PHIBRON 4.

Upon the completion of PMINT, the Iwo Jima ARG will continue with its remaining exercises in preparations to deploy in early 2018.

Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 4 and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) departed Naval Station Norfolk July 8 to begin PHIBRONMEU Integrated Training (PMINT) off the southeast coast of the United States.

During PMINT, more than 1,800 Sailors from amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), amphibious transport dock ship USS New York (LPD 21), amphibious dock landing ship USS Oak Hill (LSD 51), along with more than 1,100 Marines from the 26th MEU, will integrate for the first time, to complete a series of exercises designed to enhance interoperability between the Sailors and Marines.

“Each individual component has conducted their basic training events on their own, and this is really the first time the band will get back together as a cohesive force to prepare for deployment,” Commanding Officer of Iwo Jima Capt. James Midkiff said. “This entire exercise allows the ship crews, PHIBRON, and the MEU to interact together as one team and respond to tasks rapidly while build- For more news from USS Iwo Jima ing the foundation for upcoming real- (LHD 7), visit www.navy.mil /local / world operations.” lhd7/.

Master Chief Mass Communication Specialist Jon McMillan and Master Chief Mass Communication Specialist Mike Lewis made a request to the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy to make MC1 McRill an honorary chief petty officer.

“He provided guidance; he provided mentorship, even to the chiefs,” said Lewis. “Believe it or not, a huge portion of the MC Chiefs Mess that is here today was actually trained by Bobby McRill.

So when you put the pieces together, in our minds, there was no way Bobby wasn’t going to make chief petty officer. He was taken from us too early.”

As part of the pinning ceremony, Chief Mass Communication Specialist Sam Shavers held a chief combination cover as each chief in attendance tacked an anchor to the cover; it was then presented to the family.

“Knowing Bobby and serving with him, it meant the world to me to be part of this ceremony, pay homage to him and honor his family for the sacrifice they made,” said Chief Mass Communication Spe-

cialist Sam Shavers.

McRill’s family was also presented a CPO charge book as part of the ceremony. Chiefs in the Norfolk area, as well as chiefs who knew McRill, signed the book with their own personal messages. CPO charge books consist of advice and messages to the incoming chief.

“I think for me, it’s a little bit of a switch,” said Rybarczyk. “I’m going to be putting in lessons I’ve learned from him; things that have stayed with me and that I’ve used as a chief.

Following the ceremony, attendees were invited to visit Chief Mass Communication Specialist Robert “Bobby” McRill’s gravesite at the Peninsula Memorial Park in Newport News.

“I wish it hadn’t taken us ten years to be able to honor him in this way,” said Chief Mass Communication Specialist Dustin Withrow.

“I’m glad that it has finally happened. It couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.”

USNS Lewis B. Puller begins first operational deployment From Military Sealift Command Public Affairs NORFOLK

The U.S. Navy’s first purpose-built expeditionary sea base, USNS Lewis B. Puller (T-ESB 3), departed from Naval Station Norfolk to begin its first operational deployment, July 10.

Puller is deploying to the U.S. 5th Fleet to provide operational support for U.S. Navy and allied forces operating in the region.

“We call ourselves ‘Team Puller,’” Cmdr. Arlen Rose said, the military detachment’s officer in charge. “The Puller is a brand new ship, so we had a lot to learn. The military crew has been training with the ship’s civil service mariners for a year to prepare for this deployment.”

“We are ready to get Puller out there to takes its rightful place in the fleet,” Rose added. “Everyone is really excited to get to work and see what the Puller can do.”

USNS Lewis B. Puller was delivered to the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command (MSC) in June 2015 and is the Navy’s first purpose-built

expeditionary sea base. The ship has a hybrid-manned crew with a combination of military personnel and civilian mariners (CIVMAR).

“The CIVMARs aboard Puller primarily focus on the operation of the ship,” said Capt. George McCarthy, the Puller’s master. “The CIVMARs perform a variety of critical tasks including navigation, propulsion and ventilation services.”

The 784 foot-long vessel features a 52,000 squarefoot flight deck, fuel and equipment storage, repair spaces, magazines, and mission-planning spaces. Able to accommodate up to 250 personnel, USNS Lewis B. Puller will support multiple missions, such as air mine counter measures, counterpiracy operations, maritime security operations, humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions, and crisis response operations.

According to McCarthy, the Puller is going to be permanently deployed overseas, which saves a tremendous amount of time in terms of operations. So the ship’s maintenance, repairs and

crew swaps will take place in theater.

USNS Lewis B. Puller is named after Lt. Gen, Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller, one of the most decorated members of the Marine Corps.

He is one of only two men, and the only Marine, to be awarded five Navy Crosses.

He fought in Haiti and Nicaragua, and participated in battles of World War II and the Korean War. Puller retired from the Marine Corps in 1955 and spent the remainder of his life in Virginia.

USNS Lewis B. Puller is the expeditionary sea basevariant of the expeditionary transfer dock (ESD) which includes USNS Montford Point

(T-ESD 1) and USNS John Glenn (T-ESD 2). The second expeditionary sea base, USNS Hershel “Woody” Williams (T-ESB 4), is currently under construction by General Dynamics National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) in San Diego.

MSC operates approximately 120 non-combatant, civilian-crewed ships that replenish U.S. Navy ships, conduct specialized missions, and strategically preposition combat cargo at sea around the world, while moving military cargo and supplies used by deployed U.S. forces and coalition partners.

MC3 Justin Pacheco The future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS John Finn arrives at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in preparation for its commissioning ceremony. John Finn is named in honor of Lt. John William Finn, a chief aviation ordnanceman and the ďŹ rst member of the armed services to earn the Medal of Honor during World War II for heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Navy Commissioned USS John Finn From Department of Defense WASHINGTON

The Navy commissioned its newest guided-missile destroyer, the future USS John Finn (DDG 113), during a 10 a.m. HAST ceremony Saturday, July 15, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.

The new destroyer honors Chief

Aviation Ordnanceman John Finn, who received the Medal of Honor for heroism during the ďŹ rst attack

by Japanese airplanes at Pearl Harbor. While under heavy machine gun ďŹ re, Finn manned a .50-caliber machine gun mounted on an instruction stand in a completely exposed section of the parking ramp.

Wounded multiple times, he had to

be convinced to leave his post. After receiving ďŹ rst aid treatment, he overcame the effects of his injuries and returned to the squadron area to supervise the rearming of returning planes. Finn served throughout the war, earning a commission and eventually being promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He passed away in May 2010 at the age of 100.

Adm. Harry Harris, commander, U.S. PaciďŹ c Command, delivered the ceremony’s principal address.

Mrs. Laura Stavridis, wife of retired Adm. James Stavridis, serves as the ship’s sponsor. “The commissioning of USS John Finn marks the beginning of what will be decades of exceptional service for this ship,â€? said the Honorable Sean Stackley, acting secretary of the Navy. “During World War II, Chief Finn distinguished himself through heroic service to his fellow Sailors and our nation. I know the men and women who make up the crew of USS John Finn will carry his legacy forward with the same seless service he distinguished

Lisa Smith Molinari Military spouse contributor

When you’re a military family stationed in Timbuktu, you can’t rely on relatives to watch your pets when you’re on vacation. Our military family has learned that trading pet care favors with friends isn’t always the best alternative.

Except for the time I completely forgot to feed a fellow military spouse’s cat over a long weekend (the kitty lived and somehow we’re still friends,) we happily exchanged pet-related favors with our military friends for many years.

That is, until we met P’Nut. We were stationed at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, and P’Nut was a 7-pound pomeranian-chiuaua mix owned by our base neighbor, Tara.

P’Nut ate a quarter cup of kibble a day and Goldfish crackers as doggie treats. During the day, she lounged in a skillet-sized doggie bed, and thought a long walk was to the mailbox and back. At night, P’Nut was carried to a pink crib beside Tara’s bed.

By contrast, our labradoodle, Dinghy, was 110-pounds, with a perpetually dripping beard. He scarfed five cups of food a day, along with whatever he found while rooting through the bathroom trash.

His four daily walks were measured in miles, and Dinghy was infamous for dragging his walker when he spotted a cat, lizard, sand crab, bird or butterfly. His favorite place to sleep was curled around the cool base of the toilet.

And as Tara learned the week she agreed to take care of him while we were on vacation, Dinghy had a surprisingly delicate digestive system.

Apparently, Dinghy’s “business” was the consistency of Grey Poupon the entire week we were gone.

By the time we returned from our trip, our entire base housing neighborhood was talking about Tara’s ordeal, so when she asked me to walk P’Nut one afternoon, I jumped at the chance to return a favor.

Following Tara’s specific instructions, I opened her garage door and entered the laundry room at exactly 5:30 pm, then carefully scooped exactly one-quarter cup of kibble into

By Lisa Smith Molinari P’Nut and the rhinestone-studded leash.

P’Nut’s tiny food dish.

As instructed, I informed P’Nut that it was “time to go outside” and led her into the open garage.

While making soothing noises, I approached P’Nut with the tiny, rhinestone-studded leash.

Just as I was thinking what a piece of cake this favor was turning out to be, P’Nut’s minuscule black lips peeled back from her needlelike teeth and she lunged for my fingers. I sprung backward and let out an embarrassing shriek.

Chalking the incident up to a fluke, I cooed, “Does widdle P’Nut wanna go on a wiky-walk? Oh, yes you do, you sweet little th…. AHHHHH!” Relieved to find my fingers intact, I decided to ask the next door neighbors for assistance. I told

them how sweet little P’Nut was attempting to sever my limbs with her razor-sharp teeth. The husband, a burley Navy helicopter pilot, stepped confidently toward P’Nut, declaring, “Oh, I’ll pick her up – how hard can it be?”

What happened next can only be described as mayhem. P’Nut flashed her fangs and dashed around the garage squealing like a pig while the pilot, his wife and I gave chase.

When the dust settled, the pilot was back on his porch, yelling, “I don’t think she likes me!”

Considering P’Nut’s extreme obstinacy, we gave up the on the walk, and tried to get the little diva back in the house. For 20 more minutes, we ran around like the Keystone Cops. I feared that Tara would return to find her petite princess gone

for good.

And then, I remembered the bag of Goldfish. I desperately grabbed a handful of the cheesy morsels from the laundry room shelf and, like a court jester who’s been sentenced to the gallows, I bowed before Her Excellency to offer the bribe.

Thankfully, P’Nut accepted.

The life-threatening nature of my experience with P’Nut had arguably paid my debt of service to my friend Tara. However, I decided that it was time for me to get out of the pet care business.

Next week, our dog, Moby, is going to a kennel while we’re going on vacation. It’s not free, but peace of mind is worth every penny. www.themeatandpotatoesoflife.com

6 tips to help you grill safely this summer From TRICARE

Every summer, Americans fire up their grills in the hopes of enjoying delicious food and fun in the sun. Still, each year, grills start nearly 9,000 house fires or result in injury. In 2014, grilling injuries caused 16,600 Americans to visit the emergency room. These house fires and personal injuries are preventable with safe grilling practices: 1. Learn Proper Grill Procedures. Charcoal grills and propane (gas) grills each require their own safety checks and procedures. For charcoal grills, familiarize yourself with proper lighter fluid and coal practices. For gas grills, learn how to check for gas line leaks.

2. Check the Grill Location. Make sure your grill is placed in a well-ventilated area far from areas trafficked by children or pets. The grill should also be far from areas where outdoor games are played. Look for deck railings, tree branches or plants that are too near the grill.

These seemingly innocent objects pose major fire risks.

3. Wear Proper Clothing. Loose clothing can easily catch on fire. Breathable fabrics that cover the arms and legs do the most to protect skin from burns. Closed shoes will offer some protection should coals or embers drop from the grill onto your feet. Remember that grill temperatures can range from 325 to 600 degrees, temperatures

that can cause serious burns.

4. Never Leave a Lit Grill Unattended. You wouldn’t leave an open flame on your kitchen stove to go toss a football. The grill is no different.

5. Keep Flammable Materials Away. Oven mitts, dish towels and aprons can catch fire if they are too close to grilling surfaces.

6. Grill to the Proper Temperature. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure you’re

cooking meats to the proper temperatures. Don’t cross-contaminate raw meats with other foods.

For example, don’t put the ears of corn on the same, unwashed plate you used to carry the raw meat to the grill. Always marinate meats in the refrigerator and not on the counter. Summer is the perfect time to make healthy changes to your diet.

Although grilling comes with risks, it can be a safe, fun summer activity. Next time you grill, take steps to protect yourself and your family.

US destroyer, cruiser depart Ukraine for Sea Breeze 2017 From U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs ODESSA, UKRAINE

The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Hue City (CG 66) departed Odessa, Ukraine, July 13, to participate in the at-sea portion of exercise Sea Breeze 2017.

Sea Breeze is a U.S. and Ukraine co-hosted multinational maritime exercise held in the Black Sea and is designed to improve training value for participants and enhance flexibility and interoperability. The exercise provides the opportunity for personnel of participating nations to engage in realistic maritime training to build experience and teamwork.

“Sea Breeze is a fantastic opportunity to build trust and initiate communication among the participating nations,” Commanding Officer of Hue City Capt. Dan Gillen said. “Stability and security in the region is essential, and this exercise allows for participating naval forces to operate and train together in the Black Sea.” Both ships arrived in Odessa, July 10. Hue City, a part of the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group, hosted various distinguished visitors for a reception associated with the exercise and held tours of the ship, while Carney attended the opening ceremony and the pre-sail conferences for Sea Breeze2017.

While in port, Sailors of both ships had the opportunity to see the many sights that Odessa has to offer before beginning the at-sea portion of the exercise.

MC3 Weston Jones Conning Officer Lt. j.g. Yvonne Payne aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Carney, scans the horizon with binoculars while underway in the Black Sea. Carney is forward-deployed to Rota, Spain, conducting its third patrol in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

“We are thankful for the hospitality of our Ukrainian hosts,” Commanding Officer of Carney Cmdr. Peter Halvorsen said. “Odessa is a beautiful city with a vibrant culture and rich history. Now underway, we are thrilled to participate in the first part of the at-sea phase of Sea Breeze 2017. We always look forward to improving our capability to work together with our allies and regional partners.”

This is the 17th iteration of Sea Breeze and will feature air, land, sea and amphibious forces from 16 allied and partner nations.

Nimitz carrier strike group begins Malabar 2017 From Carrier Strike Group 11 Public Affairs BAY OF BENGAL

Sailors and Marines assigned to the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, the Indian Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) commenced the Malabar in-port portions in Chennai, India, July 9.

The maritime exercise Malabar, which was ďŹ rst held in 1992, occurs annually to improve interoperability between U.S., Indian, and Japanese maritime forces. The exercise enhances maritime relationships and demonstrates credible naval power in the Indo-Asia-PaciďŹ c region. “The exercise continues to grow because we are bringing in more ships and we are bringing together three countries,â€? Nimitz Strike Group Operations OfďŹ cer Cmdr.

Vernon H. StanďŹ eld said. “We make sure that we strengthen our partnerships, and we learn from the experience so that we continue to become more proďŹ cient in the future.â€?

The tri-lateral, two-phase exer-

cise is held in Chennai, India and in the waters of the Bay of Bengal.

The exercise emphasizes high-end warďŹ ghting skills, maritime superiority and power projection. Crews will practice surface and antisubmarine warfare maneuvers, perform medical exchanges, hold explosive ordnance disposal training, and conduct visit, board search and seizure operations. It also provides the opportunity for the participating nations to build upon their common values and shared seafaring tradition while fostering security and stability in the region through common national goals. “Each time we do one of these exercises it’s a learning curve on how to coordinate with other units,â€?

Nimitz Operations OfďŹ cer Cmdr.

Bill Selk said. “For Malabar, we are doing the same things but now it’s just with other countries. We are learning how to integrate with the Indian Navy. We do this exercise annually so that we can keep those skills honed.�

Malabar 2017 is the latest in a

continuing series of exercises that has grown in scope and complexity over the years to address the variety of shared threats to maritime security in the Indo-Asia PaciďŹ c where the U.S. Navy has patrolled for more than 70 years promoting regional peace and security. Nimitz is currently on deployment in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.

The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group consists of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), USS Princeton (CG 59), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 11, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 staff, and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 9.

Navy, Local, Federal agencies continue work to restore coral in Apra Harbor MC3 Alfred A. Coffield Explosive ordnance disposal technicians assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 5 help repair a damaged coral reef in Apra Harbor June 29, 2017. EODMU-5 coordinated with Guam’s Department of Agriculture, Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources and Guam Environmental Protection Agency to assist in the coral reef restoration.

By Frank Whitman Naval Facilities Engineering Command Marianas Public Affairs Office PITI, GUAM

Navy divers and local and federal marine biologist divers have been working since June 28 to restore coral accidentally impacted during a military exercise at Jade Shoals in Apra Harbor.

“We always strive to be good stewards of the environment no matter where we are,” Commanding Officer of Naval Base Guam (NBG) Capt. Hans Sholley said. “This is part of our outreach to the community and part of our responsibilities as stewards of the environment to help with projects like this.”

In a well-coordinated One Guam cooperative effort, divers are relocating the coral rubble dislodged by a French navy landing craft to a deep sandy area to prevent having it scour the nearby live coral with wave action. The dive team is also planning to reattach and stabilize 17 of the larger coral heads at suitable sites using a special cement mixture, rebar, meshing and cable ties.

While coral reattachment is uncommon in Guam, a 2015 experiment used Navy divers to relocate 120 coral colonies within Apra Harbor. The experience gained during the relocation efforts bodes well for the Jade Shoals project.

“It has been more than two years since those corals were transferred,” NBG/Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Marianas

Environmental Program Director Ed Moon said. “After five monitoring surveys by marine biologists, the vast majority of corals have survived the translocation.”

In the spirit of One Guam, project partners include personnel from NBG, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 5 (EODMU5), the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Bureau of Statistics and Plans Guam Coastal Management Program, Department of Agricul-

ture Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR), University of Guam (UOG) Marine Lab, Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency (CQA), and the Port Authority of Guam (PAG).

“A clean and safe environment is one of the greatest legacies we can pass along to our future generations,” Guam Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Walter Leon Guerrero said. “Given the limited resources that exist on our island, our agency is blessed to have a great support network with our lo-

cal and federal counterparts. PAG, Guam CQA, DAWR and UOG along with NOAA and Naval Base Guam have answered the call of a coral reef in distress.”

Marine biologists on the One Guam Team thoroughly evaluated the damage and developed a restoration plan for the Jade Shoals coral site that was affected.

“It is unfortunate that this incident occurred in the first place,” Leon Guerrero continued. “But we are glad to know that we can count on the sense of environmental steward-

ship of these concerned agencies, and we cannot thank them enough.”

“We’re happy to provide divers and support for this critically important project to help make this a pristine place and to make Apra Harbor a wonderful habitat,” Sholley said.

The team anticipates completion of the Jade Shoals coral restoration project by the end of July.

tics and technology from adversaries. The CNO also stressed the importance of multinational exercises with NATO and partner nations, as well as humanitarian and diplomatic missions.

“There’s more to being a Sailor than just being a warfighter,” he said.

Richardson reserved the majority of the time to talk with Sailors and answer questions, which included such wide-ranging topics as supporting a larger fleet, ratings modernization, a revised physical fitness assessment, an updated performance evaluation system, and the Navy’s role in future operations regarding space.

Richardson stressed the importance of the Sailors’ role in the Navy’s current and future success.

“Anywhere you go around the world it’s pretty competitive out there. We’ve got to be ready to win that competition. You’ve got to be ready to win that competition,” Richardson said. “We need you to ready to do that and it’s got my ultimate respect.”

The 31st Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson held an allhands call with Sailors from the Groton-area submarine community in Dealey Theater onboard Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, July 7.

Richardson opened the all-hands call by praising those in the audience, “This is the most talented Navy we have ever had.

You guys max out the test scores, and those scores keep going up.”

Richardson thanked the audience for their dedication and sacrifice to the Navy through 15 years of war by saying, “I start every day thinking about you guys. I start every day thinking about your commitment...I start my day and every decision I make trying to honor that commitment.”

Ronald Reagan hosts midshipmen

By MC3 Kaila Peter USS Ronald Reagan Public Affairs CORAL SEA

Twenty-eight Sailors assigned to the Navy’s forwarddeployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), are serving as “running mates” for midshipmen.

The Sailors are spending approximately five weeks training midshipmen, who come from the U.S. Naval Academy, various ROTC units, and the Royal Australian Navy.

“I think there’s a lot that midshipmen can learn from the enlisted Sailor,” Damage Controlman 2nd Class Nathan Villalobos said, a midshipman running mate from Glendale, Arizona. “I hope to give the midshipmen the enlisted experience in the short amount of time we have. I want to be real with them, and show them that real life is very different from a textbook.”

The midshipmen will be expected to stand watch and work with their running mates, who will try to teach them what it’s like to live and work as an enlisted Sailor aboard USS Ronald Reagan.

“We want to teach them how the workload goes,” Hull Technician 2nd Class Jordan Black said, from Delano, Pennsylvania. “We don’t want to just make them work, we want them to really know what they’re doing, and know the equipment they’re working with.”

Participating departments include engineering, operations, combat systems, deck, navigation and weapons.

“It was a bit overwhelming at first,” Midshipman 2nd Class Alexander Miskimon said, from Raleigh, North Carolina. “But being able to work with the Sailors in the

Machinery Repairman 2nd Class Bailey Todd, from Fresno, California, believes that being familiar with the enlisted Sailor’s work and lifestyle is an important part

of taking on a leadership role.

“It’s important that everyone is on the same page,” Todd said. “It’s important for future leaders to already know how it works down in the shops they might be put in charge of and know the things that our Sailors are capable of.”

While midshipmen are experiencing the jobs and workload of the enlisted Sailor, they are also experiencing the lifestyle that accompanies working aboard Ronald Reagan, such as eating on the mess decks and sleeping in the enlisted berthing. They

are also doing daily tasks like an enlisted Sailor, from exercising in shipboard gyms and workout areas to doing laundry in a room with 27 washerdryer combos to support approximately 2,600 enlisted Sailors.

“Everyone lives in such close quarters,” Midshipman 2nd Class Kathryn Fanning said, from Clinton, New York.

“I was surprised at how many people live aboard the ship. It can get crowded at times, but it’s also very impressive how all of it is organized.”

The midshipmen will participate in a number of underway evolutions with the

crew, including underway replenishments, gun shoots and Morale, Welfare and Recreation events. They joined the ship June 21 during its port call in Singapore and will remain aboard until Reagan’s next port call.

A key feature of the app helps students create a personal pathway to achieve their career and education goals by answering a few short questions. Based on their responses, app users will be introduced to programs they may be interested in using to reach their target goals.

Other benefits of the app include the ability to connect to VolEd professionals through the “Find a Counselor” feature and access to program tutorial videos and podcasts.

The app also includes articles on education topics for military students from the DANTES4Military.com blog. Each week, new articles will offer guidance, advice, and encouragement to support military students pursuing voluntary education goals and/or prepar-

ing for civilian transition.

Allen added that the app is another resource which demonstrates the DoD VolEd program’s commitment to ensuring service members are properly informed of the wide array of educational opportunities available to them. The app is primarily offered as a resource for active-duty members and will be a key tool for education and career counselors when discussing future education and career goals with service members.

MOTORCYCLE | Courses

Keep Riders Safe Continued from 1

Hrdlicka said. “For a lot of people, it’s a very different way for people to move through the world. You see things on a motorcycle that you can’t see in a car. You’re a part of the environment.”

Hrdlicka and his team of Navy rider coaches provide valuable in-class and on-the-bike skills training for novice and advanced riders. The classes are generally small (maximum of 12 riders per class), creating a safe and positive learning environment.

“We’re trying to help the novice motorcyclist, to give them the tools to keep themselves out of (dangerous) situations,” he said. “… a lot of the (students) are novice riders – have never touched a motorcycle before – and we take them from step one.”

The Basic Rider Course (BRC) provides riders with the basic mental and physical skills for riding, consisting of approximately five hours of classroom and 10 hours of on-cycle instruction (conducted over three days). The Experienced Rider Course (ERC) is a one-day course that complements a rider’s basic skills and helps with personal risk assessment. It includes a fast-paced classroom segment with several interactive activities to improve perception and hazard awareness.

OPNAVINST 5100.12J details the specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required when operating a motorcycle, but maintenance is also something that is extremely important for the safety of riders and passengers.

“Routine maintenance gives you trouble-free rides,” Hrdlicka said. “You’ll find the major things that are happening and get them fixed – whether you do it yourself or you take it to a mechanic. There is an acronym we use called “TCLOCK” (tires & wheels, controls, lights, oil, chassis, kickstand). It’s a pre-ride checklist, and you want to do that every time you ride.”

Another factor that motorcycle riders should keep in mind is the costs associated with owning and operating a motorcycle.

“Buy what you can afford,” Hrdlicka advised, “and remember it’s not just the price of the bike … it’s the cost of the gear (PPE), it’s the cost of the maintenance (and insurance).

Another item to consider when riding motorcycles is the dangerous and life threatening decision to consume alcohol.

“It’s a lot more difficult to drink and ride than it would be to drink and drive,” Hrdlicka said. “It affects your balance.

One of the strategies we use is ‘SEE’ – Search, Evaluate, and Execute – even one drink affects how you use that tool (motor-

cycle) down the road.”

And alcohol is often a major factor involved in motorcycle crashes and fatalities.

“Roughly 50 percent of the motorcycle crashes have something to do with alcohol,” he said. “It’s a shame because not only do you affect your life … it’s also who your with, it’s the person you hit. And one of the things that a lot of folks don’t understand – they’re on the bikes themselves. The question they have to ask themselves is, ‘Who’s riding with me?’ Just because I’m on the bike, I’ve got my wife/girlfriend/husband, my mom and dad, my brother and sister, those are all the folks riding with you. If you crash, it affects all their lives. And you take that even into the Navy, into your shipmates … all of those people are affected because you decided to drink and ride.”

Several of the Basic Rider Course students felt that the class is both beneficial and educational. It also provides a good foundation for current and future motorcyclists. And you don’t

have to own a motorcycle to take the course because the class is equipped with training motorcycles.

“I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to ride,” said Ensign Anh Do, who received his motorcycle license, but needed the Basic Rider Course to be able to ride on-base. “There’s an advanced course too, so I’m going to take that when I get the chance.”

“I think it’s amazing … I think it’s great. They’re really helpful – they have patience with me,” explained Logistics Specialist Seaman Jennifer Korzenski, who has been a passenger on motorcycles for many years, but she recently purchased her own motorcycle and is now learning how to ride for the first time, solo. “Which is good, because I’m definitely a beginner.”

It’s Pony Penning time in this small island off the northeast coast of Virginia. To those born and raised in Chincoteague Island, it is a time to reconnect with old friends and spend time with family.

And for some visitors, it is a dream come true.

Thousands of people will line the shores of Memorial Park and Pony Swim Lane on July 26 to watch the world-famous Chincoteague Ponies make their annual pilgrimage from Assateague Island to Chincoteague Island.

Charter boats line the Assateague Channel creating a pathway for the ponies as they make their yearly swim from shore to shore. A Jumbotron in Memorial Park, sponsored by the Town of Chincoteague, will make the event much more enjoyable for those early risers.

Made famous by Marguerite Henry’s book, “Misty of Chincoteague” in 1947 and a Hollywood movie in 1961, Pony Penning has become a “bucket list” dream for many.

The traditional Beach Walk on Assateague Island at 6 a.m. on July 24 begins the week’s festivities. The north herd of wild Chincoteague Ponies will join the south herd to await the “big day.” The annual swim on July 26 is at the earliest morning slack tide –very early

The unique summertime feast featured burgers with buns lasered with heartfelt messages of thanks to service members using a one-of-a-kind culinary laser printer.

In recognition of the thousands of #ThankYouBurger tweets and posts received, Carnival donated $25,000 to help the organization fulfill its mission of building strong, stable and secure military families.

Deshauna Barber, the first woman serving in the military to be named Miss USA, joined Carnival Chief Maritime Officer William Burke and Operation Homefront president and CEO retired Brig. Gen. John I. Pray Jr. to personally serve nearly 2,000 burgers to military personnel.

“We wanted to create a platform for Americans looking to connect with the military and show our gratitude for their service during

the July Fourth holiday,” said Burke. “We all want the troops to know how grateful we –and our country – are for protecting our freedom and this unique social media-powered barbecue is a fantastic way to show our appreciation.”

“Thanks to the continuing commitment of amazing partners like Carnival Cruise Line, Operation Homefront is able to meet the critical needs of America’s military families,” added Pray. “Since 2011, we have fulfilled over 35,000 requests for financial assistance. I’m especially thankful to those on social media who helped make this $25,000 donation from Carnival Cruise Line possible as we will be able to deliver even more goodness to those that have done so much for all of us – our nation’s military families.”

This special event is part of a continuing partnership between Carnival and Operation Homefront. Last year, hundreds of military families were welcomed aboard the company’s newest ship, Carnival Vista, prior to its inaugural sailing from the U.S. The festivities, were the culmination of a year-long campaign called Honor.Family.

Naval Station Norfolk came into being 100 years ago on the Sewells Point site of the Jamestown Exposition. It used some of that fair’s same buildings, constructed lots of new ones, added piers and an airfield and eventually grew into the largest naval facility in the world.

Through times of war and peace it has sent off and welcomed home the nation’s defenders on the sea, hosted presidents and tour groups, and become an integral part of the city and region.

The latter years of the 20th century continued the melding of the old and the new, with homecomings and mail calls, lineups of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and navigators peering through sextants, and at least one thing we may never see again: sailors lined up at telephone booths.

Listening parties used to be routine back in the day, when people gathered in homes around the hi-fi or sleek component set to absorb and chat about stacks of new records. Impromptu or planned for weeks, these parties encouraged a community around music. Discovering for the first time the intricacies of a new Beatles album or the charms of a just-released Stevie Wonder LP seemed more exciting with others around.

Music in digital form – shuffling from CDs or programmed playlists – didn’t necessarily take the party away. If anything, it freed up the host to talk or dance more. With no one scurrying to a turntable to change a skipping record or one that had gone off, the music flowed uninterrupted, even if people didn’t quite engage it the same way. After a while, the sounds seem to smear, becoming aural wall paint.

These days, the commercial return to vinyl, a thriving though still very much niche market, has brought back a varnished feel to the listening party. Those who weren’t around during the LP heyday can create that sense of community again, rediscovering albums that originally sold millions on CD now in vinyl form.

Since it’s not a good idea to spin records in direct sunlight, a nice air-conditioned space for your summer listening party will work.

We’ve rounded up a list of newly remastered vinyl releases to check out, all of which can be found in some of the best record stores in Hampton Roads, including Birdland and Vinyl Daze in Virginia Beach, The Groove in Norfolk and American Oldies in Newport News.

Beach House, “B-Sides and Rarities” 1 LP (Sub Pop) This Baltimore duo turns dreamlike sounds – tinkling keyboards and echoing, percolating drum patterns – into music that evokes the fragility of an egg and the strength of steel all at once. This album collects cuts left off of six others released in the last decade. The set is every bit as consistent and exploratory as the albums that have garnered Beach House critical kudos and a large cult following Brandy, “Brandy” 2 LPs (Atlantic Records) This 1994 debut by the Grammy-winning singer-actress was released when she was 15. Selling more than 6 million copies worldwide, it features four smashes, including the No. 1 single “Baby,” and established the smoky-voiced Mississippi native as one of the biggest urban pop sensations of the ’90s. More than 20 years later, the album still holds up. A refreshingly uncluttered blend of hip-hop, soul and pop, the set is among the singer’s strongest efforts The Beatles, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”

2 LPs (Apple Records) The eighth studio album released by one of the most lauded, game-changing poprock bands of all time receives a new life on vinyl, complete with the original trippy artwork. The album has long since become a sacrosanct recording among pop and rock aficionados. It was also celebrated upon original release in the spring of 1967, becoming the first rock LP to win a Grammy for album of the year. The memorable baroque melodies and theninnovative engineering techniques still sound fresh.

Melvin Van Peebles, “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song” 1 LP (Stax) The soundtrack to the 1971 watershed film, which essentially launched the blaxploitation era of the 1970s, receives a long-overdue remastering on vinyl. Original pressings sounded tinny.

Music from a then-unknown band out of Los Angeles named Earth, Wind & Fire is fuller on the reissue. If many movies of the blaxploitation era are forgettable, then several soundtracks from that time – Isaac Hayes’ “Shaft,” Marvin Gaye’s “Trouble Man,” Curtis Mayfield’s “Superfly” – are some of the most artistically satisfying albums to come out the ’70s.

With its loose instrumentals interspersed with dialogue from the film, “Sweet Sweetback” isn’t one of them. But it’s still an engaging timepiece.

Radiohead, “OK Com-

puter” 3 LP (XL Recordings) This 1997 album is rightfully considered a masterpiece. The English rock band streamlined the best of David Bowie and Pink Floyd, creating a beautifully textured album that feels far-reaching and anchored at the same time. Despite adventurous sonic layers, the band never forsakes a sense of melody, with Thom Yorke’s quirky voice giving levity to cuts like “Paranoid Android” and “Exit Music (For a Film).”

Erykah Badu, “Mama’s Gun” 2 LPs (Motown /Universal) The warmth of this 2000 album, Badu’s most-assured effort, makes it sound as though it came from the analog era. The Grammywinning Texas native seems to know it, too, as she croons that she’s an “analog girl in a digital world.” “Mama’s Gun” was the long-awaited studio follow-up to Badu’s tentative 1997 debut, “Baduizm,” which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s pop chart. Her second album easily eclipses the first, with more accessible songs. Several of them, particularly the dramatic “Green Eyes,” feel intensely personal. And the arrangements – a seamless mix of live and programmed instrumentation – beautifully braid elements of hip-hop, ’70s soul and jazz.

Courtesy of WWE WWE Raw Superstars Seth Rollins (L), Roman Reigns (C), and Finn Bálor (R) will be appearing at the Hampton Coliseum on Saturday, July 22 for the WWE Live SummerSlam Heatwave Tour.

WWE making a stop at Hampton Coliseum; Finn Bálor discusses SummerSlam and championship goals

By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

The Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) Monday Night Raw brand will be coming to the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton on Saturday, July 22, for a non-televised live event.

Superstars advertised for this event are Roman Reigns, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, The Hardy Boyz, Seth Rollins, and more. Also on the card will be Ireland native and former WWE Universal Champion Finn Bálor. Bálor took a moment to discuss recent events on Monday Night Raw and gives some insight on life outside of a WWE ring.

Jonathan McLarty: SummerSlam is the next big event for competitors on the Raw brand. Is there anyone on which you have your sights set to compete against at this event?

Finn Bálor: I haven’t really looked past this weekend, but Elias Samson has had his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak, with interfering in a

lot of my matches as of late.

JM: If you could sum up “The Drifter” Elias Samson’s musical ability in five words or less, how would you describe it?

FB: I only need one word: Terrible. All joking aside, musical ability doesn’t come into effect once the bell rings.

He may have illusions of grandeur for his musical ability, but what he does in the ring once that bell rings; he’s all business. He’s a tremendous competitor.

JM: When you were drafted to Monday Night Raw from NXT, you immediately inserted yourself into the heavyweight division and became the first ever Universal Champion. While you were out of action with a shoulder injury, the Cruiserweight division returned and rose to prominence through the Cruiserweight Classic tournament and 205 Live. Given your weight class, have you ever entertained the option of competing in the Cruiserweight division?

FB: For me, personally,

there’s the quest to regain the (Universal) Championship that I never lost. No disrespect to 205 Live or anyone on there, but at 185 pounds, I won the Universal Title. No matter what the weight limit is for 205 Live, or the limit for the Universal or Intercontinental Championships, I don’t believe in weight limits. It’s not about the size of the fighter, but the size of the fight he will bring. I’m not interested in being defined by my weight; I only want to be defined by my fighting ability. I plan on bringing the biggest fight to whoever I can.

JM: With SummerSlam returning to the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York, is there any anxiousness you feel returning to the site of your shoulder injury that occurred just a year prior?

FB: No, not at all. Injuries happen, but you can’t let those things wear you down when you’re trying to move forward to the future.

I always try to look at the bright side and think, “Well, I’ve had a lot of great nights

at Barclay’s too.” I won the NXT Championship there in a ladder match against Kevin Owens. I don’t hold any grudge against the building whatsoever. I’m very much looking forward to going back and it will be a nice way to close that chapter by having a good performance.

JM: It has been documented that you are fan of LEGO sets. Is there any set you have completed lately that you are particularly proud of?

FB: Believe it or not, I haven’t done any in about a month and I’m pretty disappointed in myself. We’ve been so busy with WWE and overseas tours. There are always a couple of pieces floating around the kitchen table that I’m working on to keep my mind occupied when I have a few minutes.

JM: I feel like you could bridge the gap between WWE and LEGO sets. Perhaps arrange for a WWE LEGO game or movie?

FB: It’s crossed my mind plenty of times, but sadly I don’t have the power to do

that.

JM: The promotional tours surrounding the upcoming bout between boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather and MMA star “The Notorious” Conor McGregor have displayed elements ripped straight from Sports Entertainment. Who do you see coming out on top on Aug. 26?

FB: I think it’s a win-win for everybody watching, really. It makes for great TV and it’s going to be a great spectacle. No matter what happens, my fellow countrymen always stick together, so I’ll be rooting for Conor.

JM: You will be competing on the July 22 WWE live event at the Hampton Coliseum. I have heard from so many fans locally that are excited to see you in this area for the first time.

FB: I’m very excited to go there. I hear it’s a good wrestling town and the Coliseum is great. I believe that I will be facing off with Elias Samson again, so maybe I’ll put that feud to bed before Sum-

merSlam.

Tickets are available now for the WWE Live SummerSlam Heatwave Tour at Hampton Coliseum and are as low as $15. Active-duty Military receive free admission and can request tickets at the Hampton Coliseum box office. Tickets may be purchased otherwise at the Hampton Coliseum box office, Ticketmaster.com, and all Ticketmaster outlets. The action kicks off at 7:30 PM. WWE will present SummerSlam on Sunday, Aug. 20 and can be watched live on the WWE Network. We’ll have additional coverage from the Hampton live event in the future to prepare you for all of the major matches occurring at SummerSlam.

Sailors join memorial run/ walk for Fitzgerald shipmates

By Chris Wyatt Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center public affairs

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center’s (MARMC) Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions sponsored a Memorial Run/Walk at Naval Station Norfolk in honor of the recent seven fallen shipmates of USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) on July 7.

The walk began at Building CEP-200 and the participants followed a seven mile designated route that brought them back to CEP-200 where a group photo was taken. MARMC will make a plaque with the names of the participants to be delivered to the Fitzgerald.
