Three Sailors aboard guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey (CG 61) welcomed new additions to their families during the first half of the ship’s deployment with the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group.

Being separated from loved ones is challenging for many Sailors, and it is even harder when they miss the birth of their children. For Petty Officer 3rd Class Cody Slone, Seaman Chase Marr, and Petty Officer 1st Class Joshua Morcom, staying strong, staying connected, and focusing on the mission is what keeps them going.

Slone, whose second child, Adeline, was born during this deployment, stays

connected with his family through emails and phone calls. He says having a support system on the ship and back home makes it easier for him to remain focused on the overall mission.

“It is hard to have a child while on deployment, but the Navy is a big family and they will always offer support to you,” Slone said.

Marr was surprised when his wife told him they were having a baby, and even though it is difficult not being there for them, he has learned to make the best of any opportunity to stay in touch.

“Not being able to hold my son has been the hardest part,” Marr said. “Luckily, the time difference helps me to communicate with my wife and newborn child when my shift is done, and that has made it better.”

This is not the first time Morcom has missed the birth of a child. Morcom’s fifth child is his second child born while deployed. Morcom explained the best way for him to cope with being away has been to lose himself in his work and remind himself that his family is the reason he continues to serve.

“I’m still in the Navy today because I have kids,” Morcom said. “I want to do everything I can to ensure their safety, and the health care benefits are great for my family.”

The fathers will meet their newborns when the ship returns home following its regularly scheduled deployment. In keeping with Navy tradition, they will be among the first to depart the ship.

U.S. Fleet Forces command began a sixmonth pilot program Oct. 29 with the prelaunch of the Navy’s newest tool to counter destructive decisions, the LiveSafe smartphone application. The pilot program will allow Sailors and their families assigned to Hampton Roads, Virginia and Rota, Spain a chance to download and interact with the application prior to its release.

The LiveSafe app, developed in the wake of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University shooting in April 2007, provides Sailors with consolidated resources in easy-to-use formats. The application also enables two-way communications between Sailors and their family or friends along with emergency services and command services to improve their safety and security.

The application will also provide region specific maps displaying locations and hours for emergency services, Fleet and Family Support Centers, sexual assault response coordinators, medical services, victim legal counsel, chaplains, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, legal services, housing officers and off-limit locations.

“The basic concept was to design a mobile app to help Sailors by providing a onestop shop for all of their needs,” U.S. Fleet Forces Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Officer Capt. Chuck Marks said.

The app will also feature links to simplified program information associated with a variety of Navy programs to include; sexual assault prevention and response, family advocacy, suicide prevention, drug and alcohol abuse prevention, and the latest updates and policy changes for each of the programs. Content will be available even when Wi-Fi or cell phone signal is not.

“All Hampton Roads and Rota Sailors are encouraged to download the app and use it,” Marks said.

The app is now available for free at Apple’s app store and Google Play store.

USS Wasp pulls into Souda Bay after four months at-sea

By Lt. j.g. Michael Torres, U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs SOUDA BAY, GREECE

Amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) pulled into Souda Bay, Greece, after four months at sea, Oct. 24.

The ship’s crew, Amphibious Squadron 6 staff, and Marines of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) spent 121 total days underway, interrupted only by a brief stop for fuel in Rota, Spain, in July. “As we reach the end of our fourth consecutive month out to sea, our team has continued to demonstrate exceptional fortitude, resilience, and grit. We have traveled more than 22,000 miles, performed more than 4,500 aircraft launches and recoveries, and successfully completed over a dozen replenishments-at-sea with no mishaps,� Wasp Commanding Officer Capt. Andrew Smith said. “It has been challenging, but I couldn’t be prouder of every Sailor and Marine on board this ship.�

Since Aug. 1, the 22nd MEU had been conducting precision air strikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in Sirte, Libya, from Wasp as part of Operation Odyssey Lightning (OOL) to support Libyan Government of National Accord-aligned forces fighting there. “Wasp’s crew has performed exceptionally well over a long period of time and deserves to enjoy some liberty, and while I’m confident we will all enjoy some time on dry land, we will also have to maintain our focus on the current operations of this ARG (Amphibious Ready Group).� Commander of Amphibious Squadron 6 Capt. F. Byron Ogden said.

After 2 1/2 half months of daily operations, amphibious transport dock USS San Antonio (LPD 17), part of the Wasp ARG, has relieved Wasp to continue supporting that mission.

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA Commissary keeps customers healthy, happy

Oceana celebrates Halloween

NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

By PO2 Jacob S. Richardson NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana Sailors, Marines, and their families celebrated Halloween this past week, Oct. 27 and 28.

On Oct. 27, the NAS Oceana Youth Center toured the installation, escorting the children from office to office, greeting service members and collecting candy.

“The kids love it. They get to dress up, see places around the base they haven’t been to before and get to interact with the Sailors in their places of work,” NAS Oceana Youth Center Counselor Denedra Richardson said. “It’s also great practice for the children when it comes to practicing their inside voice and manners such as saying please and thank you. The attention and warm greetings they receive

Food additives. Organic regulations ban or severely restrict the use of food additives, processing aids (substances used during processing, but not added directly to food) and fortifying agents commonly used in nonorganic foods, including preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colorings and flavorings, and monosodium glutamate.

Environment.

Organic farming practices are designed to benefit the environment by reducing pollution and conserving water and soil quality.

O’Connor said that shopping specifically for organic products can seem difficult at first for some customers and that Organic Wednesdays helps those people by displaying and centralizing the organic products available.

“With so many new products becoming available and seasonal items being released, it can be difficult to display everything all at one time,” NAS Oceana commissary store manager Charlotte Cradle said. “Special events and days like Organic Wednesdays helps us as well as the customer by locating these specialty items in easy to spot areas, cutting down on shopping time and making it easier for the customer to plan the meal they want.”

lies of these amazing kids,” NAS Oceana Youth Center Director Elizabeth Kettl said. “These service members work very hard for their families and the community and we want to facilitate activates for them to enjoy with their children during the holidays that are fun for everyone and take place right here on this safe and secure installation.”

Kettl says that “Trick or Trunk” goes a long way in bringing the local community and Oceana families together and that everyone’s participation and assistance with the event is what makes these opportunities to come together provided by the installation so special.

“I really enjoy the holiday season here, you really get to see the local community and the entire Oceana family come together and support each other,” Trick or Trunk participant Petty Officer 2nd Class Delshawn Webb said. “It’s so great to see all these smiling faces and be able to spread some happiness.”

Naval Air Station Oceana’s commissary as part of its effort to provide its customers with a wide variety of products and meal options has created “Organic Wednesdays”.

The weekly event was started to better educate patrons about the organic products that the commissary carries and the healthy meal options those products provide.

“Organic foods are one of the fastest growing areas for us,” NAS Oceana commissary display and event specialist Kimberly O’Connor said.

“Organic Wednesdays give us an opportunity to display the organic alternatives we carry and work with our customers to help them plan their meals.”

The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution.

According to the May Clinic, many factors influence the decision to choose organic food.

Some people choose organic food because they prefer the taste. Yet others opt for organic because of concerns such as: Pesticides.

Conventional growers use synthetic pesticides to protect their crops from molds, insects, and diseases. When farmers spray pesticides, this can leave residue on produce. Organic farmers use insect traps, care-

Lincoln Sailors volunteer to maintain Appalachian Trails

By SN Matt Herbst USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs GEORGE WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON NATIONAL FOREST, VA.

Sailors assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) participated in a trail maintenance project on the Saint Mary’s Wilderness Trail in the George Washington Jefferson National Forest.

“This is a trail maintenance for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy,” a member of Lincoln’s Aviation Intermediary Maintenance Department (AIMD) Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick Landis said. “We come out twice a year for a big maintenance project to clean up anything that’s been noticed; trees that are down or brush and debris that has grown into the trail.”

Landis said he first learned of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy while backpacking with friends when they encountered a woman and her grandson working on a trail. He has been participating in trail maintenance projects for five years.

“Ever since I came to the Lincoln I’ve been putting word out through the department to try to get involvement from the ship,” Landis said. “We’ve come out here for the last three and a half years, twice a year. It’s been a great time, everybody really appreciates all of our help and I think we make an impact.”

The group collaborated with members of the Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards (SAWS), a non-profit devoted to wilderness stewardship.

“A lot of people don’t realize what a treasure it is to have public lands,” Assistant Trail Leader for SAWS Chris Roby said.

The jobs SAWS takes on are typically in remote areas that park services cannot access to clear out, said Roby.

“For one thing, it’s just really cool to see people getting out and putting their time towards doing the kind of work that were doing,” Roby said. “It kind of goes to show that people care enough to put that time forward.”

The SAWS crew consisted of six crew members who had various points on the trail that needed work.

“Practically, it’s a huge help to us because we have so much labor intensive work ahead of us that to have all these people taking some of the burden off of us as a six man crew is phenomenal,” Roby said.

Roby believes it saved the crew a lot of time to focus on doing the landscaping and more architectural facets of the trail.

“That gives us time to work this big project and puts us ahead of schedule,” Roby said. “Volunteering, even just a day, doing this kind of work can totally change your perspective on what it means to come out here and hike on these trails. It makes you feel like you are a part of something.”

Sailors can be a part of something great while taking a trip away from the local area they live in.

“It’s great getting everybody out here, away from the ship yards, and the job. You get to be a little more real with people,” Landis said.

Overall, Sailors enjoyed the experience and opportunity to get outdoors.

“Some people come because they already know they love the outdoors and they love camping,” Landis said. “Other people get talked into it by their friends and come out for the first time. A lot of them fall in love with nature and come out again.”

“

Sailors, Marines return from Haiti Relief Mission

Lt. Jessica Hayder Sailors assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 28 embrace Haitians after delivering aid to a landing zone. Amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), with embarked HSC-28 and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, is providing disaster relief and humanitarian aid to Haiti following Hurricane Matthew.

From Expeditionary Strike Group 2 Public Affairs NORFOLK

Sailors and Marines returned to Naval Station Norfolk aboard amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) to offload personnel and equipment, Oct. 24, after conducting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief as part of Joint Task Force (JTF) Matthew.

JTF-Matthew, led by Commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 2 Rear Adm. Roy Kitchener, provided support to the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) in their efforts to provide immediate humanitarian and disaster relief assistance in the wake of Hurricane Matthew.

The deadly hurricane made landfall in Haiti Oct. 4, killing hundreds.

U.S. military forces were already steaming toward Haiti when it struck, arriving just hours afterward.

Overall, JTF-Matthew conducted 400 hours of flight operations and delivered more than 600,000 pounds of humanitarian relief supplies to some of the most impacted areas of the storm, directly aiding an estimated 100,000 citizens in the process.

“The military response helped the USAID-led team ramp up capability and capacity at the request of the government of Haiti,” Kitchener said. “Humanitarian assistance and supplies are getting to the right areas, but the recovery effort in Haiti is far from over.”

U.S. Ambassador to Haiti the Honorable Peter Mulrean praised the military members of JTF-Matthew for their efforts in the operation and their quick action for a neighboring country in need.

“Your ability to pull together the perfect mix of personnel and assets, whether from Honduras, Norfolk, Miami or elsewhere, is what makes the U.S. military unique in its ability to provide rapid and targeted response,” Mulrean said. “You have once again answered the call to help the people of Haiti, and have contributed to the great partnership that exists between our two countries.”

Some of the JTF-Matthew forces had to accomplish the mission while also dealing with issues ashore, as their family members and friends weathered Hurricane Matthew back home.

“This mission had an additional factor that we had to pay attention to, in that our families at our home-

port were directly affected by the same devastating storm,” Iwo Jima’s Commanding Officer Capt. James Midkiff said. “I am both grateful and inspired by the way our families, our ombudsmen, and the Navy community pulled together to take care of each other. Their efforts allowed us to concentrate on our mission, knowing our friends’ and loved ones’ health and welfare back home were well taken care of. For some, this was their first time integrating with other naval and Marine Corps units, and I am so proud of what everyone accomplished throughout the entire operation.”

The ability to go ashore and assist those in need was one of the highlights for military personnel.

“I definitely feel like every one of us has made an impact on Haiti,” Iwo Jima Sailor Seaman Anthony Hughes said. “I feel like what we did is a great thing for the people there and it helped save a lot of lives.”

The first to arrive in Haiti was the Honduras-based Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force, Oct. 7, led by then JTF Commander Rear Adm. Cedric Pringle. They were followed shortly thereafter by Expeditionary Strike Group 2 – composed of: amphibious ship USS Mesa Verde

(LPD 19), Iwo Jima, the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Naval Beach Group 2 units, Tactical Air Control Squadron 21, Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 28, Fleet Surgical Teams 4 and 8, and members of Navy Expeditionary Combat Command.

The amphibious-based JTF provided medium- and heavy-lift helicopters to carry large relief supply loads in the western part of Haiti, which was hardest hit.

“When you think of an expeditionary strike group, you think of its ability to deploy quickly and reach anywhere in the world with a game-changing military capability,” Kitchener said. “Those same

capabilities that make amphibious forces so powerful in combat also make them extremely effective conducting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.”

The Department of Defense has a longstanding history of providing initial support and capabilities to disaster relief efforts until governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations are able to provide the needed aid on their own.

Once JTF-Matthew’s unique capabilities were no longer required, the JTF ceased operations Oct. 21, and transitioned the longer-term relief effort to the appropriate civilian agencies.

MARMC divers and engineers ready USS John Warner for deployment

By Shelby West MARMC Public Affairs NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) Dive Team Bravo reinstalled the Pinch Roller Assembly aboard USS John Warner (SSN 785), pier side, at Naval Station Norfolk, Oct. 20.

MARMC Alpha divers removed sections of the towed array handling equipment in September in order for MARMC engineers to inspect the equipment before being reinstalled.

“This is a new platform,” MARMC Dive Team Alpha Supervisor Luke Smart said.

“John Warner was commissioned a year ago and it’s been sitting idle in the water for a while now. We want to make sure that all components they have on board, especially the Towed Array Handling system, work properly when they get underway soon.”

Divers worked together to perform hull swipes one day earlier before MARMC Submarine Towed Systems Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Diver Sean McLaren and MARMC Dive Zone Manager Thomas Naab dove to perform production work.

“We pulled out a couple of things to let the engineers look at them, to see what kind of marine growth the submarine had encountered,” Smart said. “We are ensuring nothing is broken, as well as performing regular maintenance to make sure the equipment won’t break in the future. As long as everything looks good, it should operate properly.”

Virginia Class submarines utilize the OA9070E system, which uses electric motors for their Capstan – turns the drive wheel – and Stowage Drum Assemblies, while Los Angeles Class submarines have the OA9070B handling system, which uses hydraulic motors.

Shelby West Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) Diver Kevin Eppleman, civilian, communicates with MARMC Dive Team Bravo as he runs lines for the tool bag used during reinstallation of the Pinch Roller Assembly aboard USS John Warner (SSN 785), pier side at Naval Station Norfolk.

“We removed the Pinch Roller Assembly, consisting of two parts – upper and lower,” McLaren said. “The upper Pinch Rollers came out easy along with the upper bracket, but the lower Pinch Rollers were a little more difficult to remove, being that they are located under the drive wheel from the capstan. They were really heavily fouled, so we had to remove them and bring them back to our shop – MARMC Towed Systems Branch – for refurbishment. Our lead engineer, Ed Guidos, inspected them before we turned them over to our support contractor, Delphinus, to refurbish and completely rebuild them under Guidos’ supervision.”

John Warner’s Pinch Rollers required more than a regular refurbishment because they are of the baseline design with no improvements or Engineering Change Instructions (ECIs) installed on the OA-9070E. “This Towed Array Handler system contains a pre-wrap reduction Capstan,” McLaren said. “They’ve lowered the number of grooves in the drive wheel and the idler wheel, from three to two and two to one, respectively. That is supposed to change the stress that the system places on towed arrays, prolonging the life of the array. In order to remove the lower Pinch Rollers, we ended up having to cut a bolt off of the middle bracket, due to interference of

the stop pin on one of the bolts on the middle bracket. With the new ECI design, there’s no interference.”

McLaren also ensured the electric motor’s compensators levels were within specification, which indicates if it’s full of oil. He and fellow divers took measurements of each piston, measurements of the caps on top of each piston, and the differential of where the pistons are supposed to be and where they actually are in relation to the compensator, using a temperature table in the maintenance standard.

“As we measured, we reviewed the maintenance standards to make sure everything was right,” McLaren said. “The majority of our tasking was to inspect the system and to check the levels of the compensators on the motors, the bearings and the electric inter locks.”

The OA-9070E system is new to the Naval Station Norfolk port. McLaren has some experience working on this system, as part of an Alteration Installation Team, assisting in installing ECIs in dry dock, so he and fellow technicians and engineers are familiar with the system.

“This is the first time we’ve actually had one in our homeport that we can work on as part of the fleet,” McLaren said.

Smart used the opportunity to cycle in some of his younger Navy divers on the team. Once

Naab resurfaced, other divers took his place in order to gain the experience of working with this new system.

“My job as the SME for towed array systems is to go into the ballast tank with these [divers] and we work together to accomplish I-level maintenance tasks or Planned Maintenance Requirements,” McLaren said. “Part of my job, with the young Sailors, is on the job training to make sure they know what they are doing and to make sure everyone is following approved procedures.”

McLaren serves as the technical advisor inside the ballast tank, while Smart has overall control of the dive.

“As a diver, I follow the dive supervisor’s instructions,” McLaren said. “Once we go inside the ballast tank, the team follows my lead.

I’m glad that we all had the opportunity to go in there and work on it together.”

Performing this inspection and removing equipment pier side saves the Navy money.

“Submarines are usually on a seven year cycle for dry-docking, so within those seven years, anything that breaks underwater, we’ll repair it,” Smart said. “We can do anything underwater that they can do in dry dock.”

MARMC AIDS ZUMWALT AMID TREK TO THE PACIFIC

By Douglas Denzine, Shelby West, and Chris Wyatt MARMC Public Affairs NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) conducted maintenance and provided technical assistance to the structure and systems aboard USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), while in port at Naval Station Norfolk in the weeks leading up to the ship’s commissioning ceremony in Baltimore, Maryland, Oct. 15.

While in transit after its completion in Bath, Maine, Zumwalt began to experience shaft seal leaks requiring immediate emergent repairs.

“This was the closest port for Zumwalt to pull into for us to lend our assistance in fixing the problem,” a Navy diver for MARMC Dive Team Charlie Petty Officer 1st Class Norman Sawyer said. “Once in port, we conducted inspections of Zumwalt’s shaft seals and cover plates. This was a great opportunity for our team to find solutions on how to remove the cover plates and how to protect them from flooding while the shafts are being worked on.”

Since Zumwalt is the first in the class of stealth guided-missile destroyers, MARMC is not yet equipped with a cofferdam that fits the ship correctly.

“The knowledge we’ve gained- taking measurements and figuring out what they have down there, any kind of plugs or closed suctions we could tie stuff off to or put I-bolts into – we’ve come up with a few plans for a wrap type shaft seal that could be used in the future,” Sawyer said.

Wartsila, the contracting company charged with making the repairs, was on sight to perform the initial seal leak fixes.

MARMC divers remained on station in case the contractors began to experience any flooding in the areas they were working.

Upon further inspection by the crew, water intrusion to the ship’s engineering plant was discovered to be coming from the ship’s lube oil coolers. With the help of Naval Sea System Command engineers, MARMC’s Production De-

NAVSTA Norfolk makes command fitness leaders their own division

partment was able to diagnose the problem and begin removal of pipe interference in order to change out the lube oil coolers as soon as possible.

“General Electric sent a team to bring the new lube oil coolers online. Once the new coolers passed their operational test we came in and reinstalled all of the pipes that were initially removed,” MARMC Hull Branch Zone Manager Byron Myers said. “This job was a total team effort that involved many shops and departments here at MARMC. Within the production department – tagout, riggers, planners, welders and pipefitters were all involved in this specific repair evolution.”

While in port, Zumwalt took advantage of the opportunity to have MARMC engineers and technicians assess other systems encountering minor issues.

“We were able to go in and answer any technical questions and provide assessments for systems that were in need of support,” MARMC Project Support Engineer Doug Heater said. “One of the main areas we were able to provide our expertise was performing some ground fault troubleshooting on Zumwalt’s Boat Handling System. There was a fault in the electrical motors that was causing the boat loading wheels to become inoperable. Our guys were able to provide insights as to what the problem was before the contractors began making repairs.”

Having this expert knowledge at the ready, allowed Zumwalt to expedite the maintenance process and gave a thorough look at the ships operating capabilities as it prepares to join the Pacific Fleet.

“Our engineers were also able to provide ideas to redefine the systems so that they will work better in the operating environment. This will help save time and resources in the future instead of always running into these issues on a regular basis. This was a great example of the talent put into action here at MARMC. Our engineers and technicians were dispatched quickly and on scene as soon as the Zumwalt reached out for a second set of eyes on some of the systems that were in need of minor assessments,” Heater said.

Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk developed a Command Fitness Leader (CFL) division that is more centrally located. As of Oct.17, the CFL office is in the N-26 Building, located at 1530 Gilbert Street in hopes to make it more convenient for Sailors to have access to CFLs. According to the Command Fitness Leader Administrative, the CFL is the primary advisor to the commanding officer on all Physical Readiness Program matters. The CFL administers the semi-annual physical fitness assessment (PFA), manages command and unit physical training (PT) and the fitness enhancement program (FEP).

“Previously being a CFL was a collateral

MARMC’s Galley Laundry Maintenance Assist Team repaired six under counter reefer units, a blast chill cooler, and cleaned the condenser on the No. 2 air-conditioning plant while Valve Maintenance Assist Team made valve gasket repairs.

“I think the ship’s leadership saw how willing our guys were to help and how fast we could make repairs, so they asked us to fix a couple other things before they left for Baltimore,” Myers said.

After her commissioning ceremony, Zumwalt headed to the west coast, where she will be homeported in San Diego, California.

duty,” Command Master Chief William Caraballo said. “We have placed a chief petty officer, a first class petty officer and two second class petty officers in permanent CFL positions realizing it was too much to be in charge of 1,300 Sailors, as well as completing the daily tasks of another job.”

Caraballo also stated that before the PFA season there will be several other CFL’s that will be sent temporarily to the division to help have a smooth running PFA season.

“This will be a fixed point for everyone to come rather than being scattered throughout the base. This will create better communication between Sailors and CFLs,” Leading Petty Officer for the CFL Division Petty Officer First Class Anthony Christoffer said.

“Moving the CFL’s to N-26 building will allow it to be more centrally located and eas-

ily accessible to Sailors. They will be able to turn in the proper paperwork along with ask any questions they may have,” Leading Chief Petty Officer for the CFL Division Chief James Blackmon said.

Blackmon stated the importance of getting all the appropriate paperwork into their CFL. “It is imperative that we receive all necessary paperwork to ensure that we can prepare you for your future Physical Fitness Assessments, and to check your Physical Readiness Information Management System PRIMS regularly to make sure that the information in there is correct and up-to-date.”

“We are excited to start this change, we believe it will be very successful as it was when it was implemented on some aircraft carriers as well as large deck amphibious ships,” Caraballo said.

Scouting for an experience

By PO3 Class Mario Coto USS George H.W. Bush Public Affairs NORFOLK

Few experience life with a complete sense of wonderment. Childhood is a fleeting part of a person’s life, but that short span is when some moments are enjoyed to the fullest. Often, moments get taken for granted as we get older.

For the boys of Cub Scout Pack 1967 and Boy Scout Troops 697 and 516, spending a day touring the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) and other points of interest around Naval Station Norfolk, gave them an up-close and personal experience on how Sailors in the Navy live and work.

“I really learned a lot about the Navy today,” 8-year-old Cub Scout Q.B. Lee said.

“From learning how big a carrier can be, to learning that the fuel tanks hanging up in the hangar bay aren’t bombs, I learned a lot of things I never knew!”

Even though the breeze that blew across the deck was chilly, nothing could freeze the spirits of the children who were amazed

APP | Provides

method of communication in emergencies Continued from A1 to local and base emergency services and a special ‘Walksafe’ feature allowing Sailors to temporarily share their GPS location with someone they trust. As they travel the Sailor will be able to communicate with their chosen person through a phone conversation or silently, depending on the circumstances. Once the Sailor has arrived at their destination and is free of possible dangers the GPS tracking can be disabled.

“The app which launched in both the Apple and Android platforms will be available to 44,500 users and will allow Sailors to test drive the app and provide needed feedback,” Marks said.

“Safety of our Sailors and our families is the Navy’s top priority and as a Navy, we understand first-hand how this product will make life safer for our Sailors.”

All Sailors in Hampton Roads and Naval Station Rota, Spain are encouraged to download the app, use it and provide feedback during periodic focus group meetings regarding the app’s use and ability. Sailor feedback will be a crucial part of the pilot program to ensure the Navy knows the shortfalls and issues with the program prior to its Navy-wide launch.

when walking around the flight deck and riding an aircraft elevator.

“My favorite part was riding the elevator,” Lee said with a grin on his face. “It scared me a little when we moved up, but I thought it was fun after.”

For many of the scouts, this was their first time on a Navy ship. Bush was not the only place the tour group visited, as they also toured the hangars of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 26, and the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67).

Each tour stop offered a glimpse of Navy life through multiple perspectives.

“It was really cool to see the helicopters and how they work,” Lee said. “I loved when we were on the Cole. It had a lot of

weapons for a small ship.”

Once the tours ended and the meals were served, the kids were treated to popcorn and a movie. Other activities included trying on flight gear and firefighting gear, learning how to tie knots, and playing games.

The kids learned so much from this oncein-a-lifetime experience, but for the parents, scout leaders, and chaperones, they also walked away with knowledge and memories few get to see.

“I really enjoyed the experience, and so did the kids,” Thieu Nguyen said. “I feel the experience was good for everyone, because even though you could learn about the Navy from a TV show or video, there’s no better way than see how it all works in person. We

all learned so much today.”

It wasn’t just facts, or trying on gear that was the only things the kids gained from this experience, but a sense of honor and values Sailors hold to. They are values similar to what Boy Scouts are taught to live by.

“I saw the good in the Sailors that we met, and that spoke to us today,” Nguyen said. “I hope that these are the kind of people that my son grows up to be.”

The boy scouts came to look for an experience few get to see. They found it, and it was seen through the wide-eyed stares, gasps, and excitement shown. This, in turn, made the adults in the room smile. Nothing warms the heart more than a child’s sense of wonder.

Porter wraps US Navy participation in latest Joint Warrior Exercise From USS Porter Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

The United Kingdom-led and -hosted Joint Warrior (JW) series is run by the Joint Tactical Exercise Planning Staff (JTEPS) from exercise headquarters aboard Her Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde in Faslane, Scotland. The exercise is designed to improve interoperability between allied and partner navies while preparing participants for a role in a joint maritime environment during deployments.

In addition to Porter, the other U.S. Navy assets participating in the exercise were fleet replenishment oiler USNS Leroy Grumman (T-AO 195) and P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and re-

connaissance aircraft from Patrol Squadron (VP) 45.

Exercise Joint Warrior, a semiannual training exercise conducted in the coastal waters off the United Kingdom, is designed to provide NATO and allied forces with the opportunity to train in a multinational, multiplatform, multi-warfare environment. The unique, fast-paced integrated training is conducted at sea as well as near and on land to enable participants to engage one another in complex training scenarios.

The United Kingdom’s advanced naval certification course, Joint Warrior is comprised of numerous scheduled training scenarios, including small boat attacks, boarding operations, air defense,

anti-submarine warfare and ship maneuverability tasks.

JW 16-2 included air, sea and ground assets from NATO and partner countries, including Belgium, Canada, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Porter’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Andria Slough said Joint Warrior proved an exceptional opportunity to train with NATO allies and other partner nations throughout a myriad of warfare areas.

“The operational proficiency of Porter has certainly increased, and the interoperability between the participating nations has definitely been enhanced by this challenging, large-scale exercise,” Slough said.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Christopher Powell said the highlight of the exercise was the ability to train in a complex environment alongside and up close with a variety of international participants.

“The people who came out for this exercise got to work with not only live aircraft, but with small boats, submarines and warships, and they had the ability to fire actual weapons on a firing range,” Powell said. “Overall, Joint Warrior was a success, and the crew is looking forward to future opportunities to participate.”

Porter, forward-deployed to Rota, Spain, conducts naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

Wasp to support stand up of first JSF squadron in Japan From U.S. Fleet Forces Public Affairs NORFOLK

The U.S. Navy announced today that the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), which is capable of operating the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter, will become part of the U.S. 7th Fleet Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) in the fall of 2017.

As part of the rebalance strategy to increase the Navy’s presence in the Pacific Fleet, USS Wasp will move from Norfolk, Virginia, to Sasebo, Japan. The

Aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) conducted its first at-sea ammunition onload in more than two years, Oct. 2324, during replenishment-at-sea with the dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Wally Schirra (T-AKE 8).

Nimitz Sailors moved a total of 1,542 pallets during the 48-hour, ordnance-handling evolution in preparation for an upcoming 2017 deployment.

Deck Department worked tirelessly to safely transfer ordnance from Wally Schirra to Nimitz. Deck Sailors received pallets of ordnance via connected replenishment between the two ships.

“It’s been a great effort considering most of Deck Department is new,” Deck Department Seaman James Garvey said. “We’ve been staying strong and tenacious, and have been good about rotating people in and out so they can get their qualifications.”

While Deck Department Sailors received the pallets, Weapons Department worked above and below decks to ensure ordnance was safely transferred, organized, and stowed in the ship’s magazines.

“It’s truly been a flawless effort,” Nimitz Ordnance Handling Officer Lt. Mike Dasch said. “It’s ordnance; it’s what we do, and we do it well. I couldn’t be more proud of my Sailors.”

With the help of Sailors from Nimitz’ Air Department, MH-60S Sea Hawks – assigned Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 8 – transferred ordnance via vertical replenishment from Wally Schirra to Nimitz.

HeroesatHome GOLD STAR FATHERS ACT OF 2015 Derived Veterans’ Preference for Parents

By Raymond Cunnikin Gold Star program manager HAMPTON ROADS

On October 7, 2015, the President signed the Gold Star Fathers Act of 2015, P.L. 114-62 (i.e., the “Act”). The Act amends section 2108(3) (F) and (G) of title 5, United States Code, by expanding preference eligibility from the ‘mother’ of a deceased or disabled veteran who is unable to use his or her preference, to the ‘parent’ of that service member. The Act is in effect now – it became effective on January 7, 2016 – and agencies must apply the new criteria, now laid out in the law as follows: Section 2108(3)(F) the parent of an individual who lost his or her life under honorable conditions while serving in the armed forces during a period named by paragraph (1)(A) of this section, if: (i) the spouse of that parent is totally and permanently disabled; or (ii) that parent, when preference is claimed, is unmarried or, if married, legally separated from his or her spouse; (G) the parent of a service-connected permanently and totally disabled veteran, if: (i) the spouse of that parent is totally and permanently disabled; or (ii) that parent, when preference is claimed, is unmarried or, if married, legally separated from his or her spouse.

The point of finger-pointing

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military spouse contributor NEWPORT, R.I.

Ironically, one of our smallest, weakest body parts – the finger – often wields the most power.

That one diminutive digit can instill fear, anxiety, surprise, guilt or joy. Fingers identify winners, fingers pull triggers, and fingers place blame. If I only had a dollar for every time my father pointed a calloused finger in my direction and bellowed, “You’re grounded!” I’d have enough for decent manicure.

During the current presidential campaign season, there has certainly been a lot of finger-pointing going on. But one finger has been aimed at us long before our current political candidates were in the news.

We all know the iconic image of goateed, top-hatted Uncle Sam, staring us down, sending us on the ultimate guilt trip. For more than a century, this patriotic personification of our government has been used for one specific purpose – to tell us to do something for our country.

U.S. service members know Uncle Sam all too well, because his image has been bound inextricably to the draft, enlistment, patriotism and military service.

Military history geeks might be interested to know that Uncle Sam’s origins are not fully understood. The name appears in one version of the lyrics of the Revolutionary War ditty “Yankee Doodle:” “Old Uncle Sam come there to change Some pancakes and some onions, For ‘lasses cakes, to carry home To give his wife and young ones.”

No one is quite sure if Yankee Doodle’s

pancake-slinging uncle is our own patriotically-bedazzled Sam. But during the War of 1812, Samuel Wilson, a meat-packer from Troy, New York, became forever linked with the personification. As the governmentappointed meat inspector for the Northern Army, Wilson was nicknamed Uncle Sam by the troops, because his barrels of inspected meat were stamped with the initials “U.S.” Despite the tenuous connection between Wilson and the iconic character, in 1961, Congress resolved that it “salutes Uncle Sam Wilson of Troy, New York, as the progenitor of America’s National symbol of Uncle Sam.” Two American editorial cartoonists helped to popularize illustrations of Uncle Sam – Thomas Nast, 1840-1902, who featured a long, lean Sam with a white top hat, blue tailcoat and red-striped pants in Harper’s Bazaar; and James Montgomery Flagg, 1877-1960, whose most famous work was the World War I poster of finger-pointing Uncle Sam proclaiming “I WANT YOU FOR U.S. ARMY.”

Flagg’s recruiting poster was printed over four million times, and his famous portrayal of Uncle Sam has been used to call people to shovel coal, to enlist, to buy war bonds, to work hard, to not discuss troop movements, to become a nurse or a stenographer, to plant a victory garden, to defend American freedom, and to volunteer.

This month, Uncle Sam is popping up again, online and in print, telling us that it is our civic duty to vote. Many of you stationed overseas sent in your absentee ballots weeks ago, and others are gearing up for Nov. 8.

This campaign season has been so epic; many are commemorating the event by throwing election-themed parties. Pinterest offers inspiration, from Donkey and Elephant Jell-o Shots to Election Selfie Props to Uncle Sam “I WANT YOU TO COME TO A PARTY!” invitations. Rachel Ray’s online magazine has a recipe for “Campaign Trail Mix” and advises party planners to use a curtain to create a voting booth around the bar, inviting guests to go in and “booze up liberally or conservatively.” And at www.urbanblisslife.com, one can download a printable Election Day map for the kids to color with blue and red crayons as the results are declared.

With the extreme negativity of this presidential campaign, it’s no wonder we all want to have a little fun. But we mustn’t forget about that famous finger. Not the foam one at the football game, or the angry one flipped by the driver in the passing Prius, or the one your husband tells you to pull with a devilish grin, or the tiny one your toddler uses to explore her nostrils.

You know the one. So, let’s all heed old Uncle Sam’s advice, do our civic duty, and vote Nov. 8.

11.3.2016 | The Flagship | www.flagshipnews.com | B3 Retired Senior Chief Information System Technician Lee Moburg, wireless amateur radio (HAM) operator, manned the HAM radio at Naval Hospital Bremerton, Washington, during the command’s full scale training exercise Operation Cascadia Rumble held in conjunction with Cascadia Rising 2016.

Naval Hospital Bremerton HAM radio provides capable connecting communication

By Douglas H. Stutz Naval Hospital Bremerton Public Affairs BREMERTON, WASH.

Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) knows talking about communication can’t just be idle chatter when it concerns emergency response capability during a disaster.

The Cascadia Rising 2016 earthquake exercise held in June throughout the Pacific Northwest tested the emergency management ability of multiple government agencies, and the recent Washington state assessment from that disaster drill – the largest ever conducted – noted the area still has work to do to be adequately prepared, especially concerning communication.

NHB’s full-scale training exercise Operation Cascadia Rumble, held in conjunction with Cascadia Rising 2016, specifically tested the command’s ability to communicate.

According to NHB Emergency Preparedness Manager Terry Lerma it was a foregone conclusion going into the exercise that being able to communicate is key to providing medical support to those in need when trying to handle a disaster such as an extensive earthquake, along with the associated aftermath.

“Communications will always be one of the top three things listed as critical,” Lerma said. “The other two are logistics and planning; yet for

both of those to function, there has to be communication.”

When the next big earthquake hits – and scientists all say it’s a matter of when, not if – Puget Sound residents can expect internet and cellphone connectivity to be knocked out, as well as landline phone services severed.

If high-tech options can’t be used, then it’s time to go “old school,” which NHB is able to do with wireless amateur radio, or HAM radio – a very traditional method of message exchange.

“Even though HAM is viewed as an ancient technology, it has proven its reliability, dependability, and versatility,” Lerma said.

Lerma noted in any disaster or large scale drill that went bad, communications, or lack thereof, is always one of the top issues that falters. Adding HAM radio capabilities enables contact outside the command to keep staff members informed.

“Modern technology only has so much bandwidth, and is dependent upon a constant power supply source,” Lerma said. “In an emergency, local communication systems can overload by everyone wanting to tweet or post, or just call family and loved ones.

There is also only a limited amount of contingency backup power to sustain cellular communication systems. After such disasters like Hurricane Katrina and Super

Storm Sandy, it was HAM radio operators providing up-to-date communications information all the way up to the governor’s office on logistics, supply, resources, and emergency medical needs.”

There are two distinct advantages having a HAM radio affords a hospital. There is limited power needed, and all it takes is a 12-volt car battery to power and operate a HAM radio.

“Even in a catastrophic power failure, if you have a vehicle with a working car battery, you can power up a HAM radio and the unit’s repeater system reaches can literally ‘bounce’ off repeaters and communicate with other HAM operators locally, statewide, nationally, and even around the world,” Lerma

said. “If we do have a infrastructure collapse of cellular towers, we will still have a method with the HAM radio to communicate with such vital local partners as Harrison Medical Center, Kitsap Public Health, and Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management.”

The HAM radio is conveniently located in NHB’s Emergency Management Office, and gets support from local amateur volunteers.

“Most of the volunteers are retired military, so they have base access,” Lerma said. “However, if the roads were compromised and they couldn’t make it, we would have to rely on any trained NHB staff to serve in this capacity.”

One such volunteer who

did make it in during Operation Cascadia Rumble was retired Senior Chief Lee Moberg, who has been involved in HAM radio since his active-duty days when he worked as a information systems technician. Mohberg obtained his initial HAM radio license in 1983.

“With the right radio and antenna, information can be sent or received across town, the state, the country, or even across the ocean to thousands of other HAM operators,” Moberg said.

“One of the best features is that most equipment is designed to be portable, or at least transportable.”

Moberg agreed with Lerma that any time a large regional disaster happens, it is highly likely the infrastructure supporting landlines and cell communications will most likely be damaged.

“What does survive is going to be over-saturated with the sharp increase in phone calls to family and friends,” Moberg said. “Local emergency services are not really equipped for long distance communications.

US, UK, JAPAN NAVIES COMMIT TO INCREASE COOPERATION From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson met with First Sea Lord, United Kingdom Royal Navy, Adm. Phillip Jones and Chief of Staff of the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force, Adm. Tomohisa Takei, Oct. 20, in the Pentagon.

This is the first time the three chiefs have held such an event. Given the increase in maritime traffic worldwide and current events, the symbolism of

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson; First Sea Lord, United Kingdom Royal Navy, Adm. Phillip Jones; and Chief of Staff of the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force, Adm. Tomohisa Takei, meet in the Pentagon for a trilateral maritime discussion, Oct. 20.

The Washington State Patrol has a repeater network for statewide use, but the local services do not. Amateur radio, however, makes long distance communication an art. HAMs thrive on finding new ways to do long distance communications.”

Moberg’s role during a big earthquake, as will be the case for most, depends on where he is at the time of the actual seismic event. If he’s at work, he would probably be stuck, unable to depart. He could, however, walk to the Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor Emergency Operations Center to help with relaying messages.

If he was home, he would be away from any Navy installation and would probably end up at one of Port Orchard’s fire stations, assisting with message traffic. Helping out is what he will do, even if it’s using the HAM radio setup he has at home.

“Because when it happens, the ability to communicate externally as well as internally will be vital,” Moberg said.

this engagement can’t be overstated.

The result of the half-day session was the signing of an agreement affirming their commitment to increased collaboration and cooperation. The agreement states “As chiefs of three highly capable and like-minded services, we share a common vision of enhancing the operational effectiveness of our maritime forces through increased cooperation.”

The U.S., Japan and U.K. navies have regularly operated together off East Africa, around Europe and in the Western Pacific, however they agree there is room for more. The three chiefs of navy agreed to deeper cooperation in exercises and an increase in combined patrols, with specific activities to be worked out in follow-on discussions.

Each navy is committed to an open and free maritime system that allows for the flow of commerce and trade through the global commons.

Continued trilateral engagement and cooperation is in the interest of each individual country and the overall maritime community.

Women of Color Magazine honors Navy engineer

By John Joyce NSWCDD Corporate Communications DETROIT, MICH.

Navy engineer Tiffany Owens is constantly on the go helping girls envision that “STEM is a girl thing” while enabling them to experience it in their lives.

Once her protégés catch the vision, they are on the go themselves pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities, academics, degrees and careers.

The Women of Color Magazine noticed the engineer’s startling success with inspiring and mentoring students throughout Virginia and honored her with the magazine’s 2016 Community Service Award at its conference, aptly themed: “STEM is a Girl Thing”.

“My mother, a teacher, raised three girls on the east side of Buffalo, New York – we all became engineers,” Owens said. “She taught us we can do anything we put our minds to, and raised us with confidence, pride and responsibility to ourselves and our community. I will be eternally grateful for her and her advice that drives me to continue to help, give and serve.”

The Women of Color Magazine refers to its annual technology conference as “the forum of choice” for recognizing significant contributions by women in STEM fields. This year’s awards gala theme – “Earned it, Got it, Celebrate it,” – paid tribute to awardees for their commitment, service, and achievements.

“In serving our country as a systems safety engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, Tiffany Owens has also gone above and beyond in service to her community,” Naval Sea Systems Command Executive Director for Surface Warfare Karen Davis said.

“Her impressive volunteering and mentoring efforts at the Center include her active role in her department¹s Diversity

Council and Special Events Committee. But this is just the start of Tiffany¹s strong passion for STEM outreach.

She donates countless hours to introducing young people to the world of STEM in the local Dahlgren and Richmond, Va., community and schools to positively impact our next generation.”

Owens led and volunteered for a myriad of STEM activities and programs, including Bring Your Child to Work Day, the Metro Richmond Science Fair, the FIRST Lego League, and FIRST Robotics Competition.

“Tiffany also filled the roles of chartering member, president emeritus, and public relations chair for the Richmond Professionals Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers,” according to the Women of Color Magazine’s fall 2016 feature profile on Owens. “She developed and conducted STEM enrichment activities at Richmond and Henrico Public Schools as a volunteer.”

Since 1995, the Women of Color technology conference has attracted and leveraged exceptional talent within the nation’s scientific and technical workforce.

Moreover, attendees benefit from the event’s career networking opportunities.

They interact with executives representing Fortune 500 companies that embrace diversity and are recognized as top places for women to work and advance in their careers.

College students meet with award winners and learn the next critical steps in forging their own successful careers.

“We are all held responsible for our talents, wealth, knowledge and time,” Owens said. “I have been richly blessed. So many people poured into my life, which leaves me with a tremendous responsibility to give back.”

Career Communications Group’s Women of Color Magazine hosts the technology conference which recognizes outstanding women in the STEM fields.

Navy to commission submarine Illinois From Department of Defense WASHINGTON

The Navy will commission its newest fast attack submarine, the future USS Illinois (SSN 786), during an 11 a.m. EDT ceremony Saturday, Oct. 29, at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson will deliver the ceremony’s principal address. First Lady Michelle Obama is serving as the ship’s sponsor. In a time-honored Navy tradition, she will give the order to “man our ship and bring her to life!”

“USS Illinois is one of the most technologically advanced platforms in the world,” Secretary of the Navy the Honorable Ray Mabus said. “This submarine represents not only the Navy’s lasting connection to the state of Illinois but also the American innovation and manufacturing skill that have given us such a powerful advantage, making us the most powerful expeditionary fighting force the world has ever known.”

Illinois is the 13th Virginia-class fast attack submarine and the third Virginia-class block III submarine. This nextgeneration attack submarine provides

The submarine is only the second U.S. Navy ship to be commissioned with the name Illinois. The previous Illinois was the battleship (BB 7), was built at Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, laid down in 1897 and was the lead ship of a class of three 11,565-ton battleships. In December 1907, Illinois steamed out of Hampton Roads, Virginia, to begin a voyage with the Great White Fleet. In January 1941, she was renamed Prairie State (IX15) and served through World War II as a midshipmen’s training school.

ARG and 11th MEU provides our nation with an on-call, forward deployed crisis response force.”

The sustainment training allowed the NavyMarine Corps team to sharpen the skills they learned during a six-month pre-deployment cycle, and included planning and execution of shipto-shore operations, a company-sized helo-borne raid, combat marksmanship, fire support operations, and simulated convoy operations.

“Maintaining our high levels of proficiency as we make our way into our operating areas means the ARG and MEU will be prepared to handle any mission our commanders task to us,” Commander of Amphibious Squadron Five Capt. Mike Crary said. “This team is the most capable amphibious force in the world, and we sustain that edge by capitalizing on every opportunity to train together.”

The Makin Island ARG is comprised of the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD

8), the command ship for PHIBRON Five and the 11th MEU, as well as the amphibious transport dock ship USS Somerset (LPD 25), which is embarking on its maiden deployment, and amphibious dock landing ship USS Comstock (LSD 45).

Embarked units, which extend the ARG’s capabilities, include Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 21, Fleet Surgical Team 5, Tactical Air Control Squadron 11, and Assault Craft Unit 5.

The 11th MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force comprised of a ground combat element, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 4th Marines; an aviation combat element, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 (Reinforced); a combat logistics element, Combat Logistics Battalion 11; and a command element with a commanding officer who leads the entire MEU.

U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Public Affairs MANAMA, BAHRAIN

U.S. 5th Fleet’s first Combined Joint Maritime Enlisted Leadership Development Program (ELDP) was held at Naval Support Activity Bahrain, Oct. 24-25.

ELDP is a classroom training program for multinational enlisted service members, designed to instill and improve upon six desired leadership attributes – operate with commander’s intent; make sound and ethical decisions; enable the force, anticipate, communicate, and mitigate risk; operate jointly; and think critically using the Non-commissioned Officer/Petty Officer (NCO/PO) Handbook published by the National Defense University.

“We ran this course several times when I was in Korea with Command Sgt. Maj. John Troxell, who’s currently the senior enlisted advisor to the chairman of joint chiefs,” Command Master Chief James Honea said. “He and I, in concert with a lot of other senior enlisted leaders on the peninsula of Korea, developed this joint, combined mid-grade NCO/Petty Officer Leadership Symposium. I have transplanted a lot of the lessons that we had there and courses that we taught there, here for this.”

In attendance were enlisted service members from every branch of the U.S. armed forces, with enlisted service members from the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and a senior enlisted course observer from Australia.

“We break out the Non-commissioned Officer/Petty Officer Handbook, ‘the Backbone of the Armed Forces,’ a book that’s published by the office Joint Chiefs of Staff Office,” Honea said. “We break that book open and go through it, chapter by chapter, and highlight the major points of discussion in each chapter – that in concert with course dialogues and visits from other senior leaders in the area.”

Distinguished guests included Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central (NAVCENT) Command Vice Adm. Kevin Donegan; Commander of Task Force (CTF) 51 and 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade (5th MEB), Brig. Gen. Francis L. Donovan; Senior Enlisted Leader of CTF-51 and 5TH MEB, Sgt. Maj. Cliff Wiggins; Commodore of CTF 152 Jordanian Capt. Abdelkader Almarahleh; Deputy Commander of Combined Maritime Forces Commodore William Warrender; and Senior Enlisted Leader of U.S. Central Command, Command Sgt. Maj. William Thetford.

“A forum like this offers exactly the right setting to assess current realities and to build the future we all seek for this important part of the world,” said Almarahleh.

Donegan encouraged the enlisted members to reflect on what they’ve learned and incorporate those things that will make them better as leaders, and as an allied force.

“Since we work in a combined, joint environment over here at NAVCENT and with Combined Maritime Forces Command, it was hugely important that we have joint flavor to this course,” said Honea. “I wanted to enhance and work on the leadership skills in midgrade petty officers and non-commissioned officers, and I wanted to do so in a combined, joint environment and include our coalition partners — so that helps us build upon our partner capacity, [and] increases loyalty and trust amongst our coalition partners at the mid-grade and senior enlisted level.”

The two-day course came to a conclusion with the presentation of certificates upon graduation from Honea and Warrender.

“Just based off of the evidence of the conversations that happened in the class, as eager as everybody was to participate in the class with the comments and the commentary and the dialogue that took place inside the course, I think the course was a huge success on that level,” Honea said.

The safety of all Sailors involved was a high priority during the evolution. Officers, chief petty officers, and petty officers maintained vigilance over their junior Sailors to ensure proper procedures and risk management

were used.

Sailors from Safety Department were also on standby to ensure all safety precautions were followed.

Nimitz completed the onload two days earlier than expected and used the extra time to perform additional practice approaches with Wally Schirra to further train and qualify Nimitz Sailors.

CYBER SECURITY | USNA first to require

cyber security classes for all students Continued from B1 of the Naval Academy’s cyber program, which includes a cyber operations major and required cyber curriculum for all midshipmen. Cyber operations is an interdisciplinary major that includes study in computer architecture, programming, data structures, networks, internet, database systems, information assurance, cryptography and forensics, as well as policy, law, ethics and social engineering.

The USNA groundbreaking reminds us of the significant investments the Navy continues to make to reduce vulnerabilities, detect intrusions and strengthen its depth in defense, as well as the crucial role that every Sailor plays in protecting Navy systems. The academy’s close relationship with U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/U.S 10th Fleet, based at Fort Meade, Maryland, provides midshipmen with a unique operational perspective through guest lectures, mentorship and summer training opportunities.

During National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, recognized throughout the

month of October, Sailors are encouraged to learn more about the steps they can take to support the defense of Navy systems and prevent intrusions.

The academy is the first institution of higher learning in the country to require cyber security classes for all students.

The multi-story academic building will have classrooms, a lecture hall, research labs, a secure compartmented intelligence facility space – required to allow midshipmen to handle classified information – and a research and testing tank to support the engineering and weapons lab. The state-of-the-art facility will enable midshipmen at the academy to get real-world training to prepare them for handling cyber threats, as Navy personnel are the first line of defense.

“This is a significant step in the process of streamlining our cyber education capabilities here at the Naval Academy with the needs of the fleet and Department of Defense,” said Vice Adm. Ted Carter, Naval Academy superintendent. “This will be a state-ofthe-art facility where our very best and

brightest will get cutting edge training and education in the cyber field. I believe the building serves as yet another attraction the Naval Academy has to offer to future Midshipmen.”

The building will be named after Rear Adm. Grace Hopper, known as the “mother of computing.” Hopper was an American computer scientist who worked on the first computer, the Harvard Mark 1, during World War II.

USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) held another session of its ongoing Sailor mentorship program, ‘Rudder Shift,’ Oct. 19.

Rudder Shift is a voluntary mentorship program conducted by the religious ministries department that features members of the Chiefs’ Mess sharing their life experiences with junior enlisted experiencing difficulties in their professional or personal lives.

The program started in March and due its success, has gone from being held once a month to every two weeks.

“A lot of the Sailors who have come to Rudder Shift have come back to talk to us and their motivation has increased,” Rudder Shift speaker Master Chief Petty Officer Warren Brown said. “We continue to have conversations with them about how they can better their careers and their lives. I think the program is a great success.”

Each session features a handful of speakers who address a small group of Sailors.

“When I was in the Navy at a young age, I would just constantly get in trouble,” Senior Chief Petty Officer Terrish Bilbrey said. “Had someone shared a story with me … I might have felt like I had someone I could relate to and look up to.”

Bilbrey emphasized empathy as a focus of Rudder Shift.

“If we can understand that each of us has a specific struggle and story, and we share those things instead of being angry about it and angry at one another then we would just have a better environment altogether,” Bilbrey said.

The goal of the program is to encourage Sailors to take initiative in changing in their lives for the better.

“One thing that I always tell Sailors is that a small course change will get them pointed in the right direction,” Brown said. “If they can just find one little thing they can improve on, and that may be being on time, or being respectful regardless of the situation … something as small as that will help them get back on course.”

NAVY UPDATES LIMITED DUTY TRACKING SYSTEM From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON, TENN.

The Navy is changing the way it tracks limited duty (LIMDU), according to NAVADMIN 218/16 released Oct. 17.

The LIMDU Sailor and Marine Readiness Tracker System (SMART) is replacing the Medical Evaluation Board System (MEDBOLTS) in managing the tracking of Temporary LIMDU (TLD).

According to NAVADMIN 218/16, to access the new system deployability coordinators must complete an online computer-based training course. The course can be accessed at http://edqtest.med.navy.mil/cbts/. After completing training, deployability coordinators can then access LIMDU SMART by contacting their patient administration office at their command’s servicing medical treatment facility.

The transition to LIMDU SMART is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 30, with the exception of U.S. European Command (EUCOM) and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) medical training facilities.

EXERCISE | CO: “Joint training is an absolute necessity in today’s environment.”

Continued from B1 training. This exercise has accomplished that and so much more for our helicopter crews.”

As the number of ground participants grew, Phoenix Fire increased in breadth to include the training and evaluation of three nations’ personnel, six ground units, more than eight aviation platforms, two surface combatants, and the test, development, and evaluation of the MH-60S, the Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System.

Phoenix Fire lead planners from HSCWSP were Marine Maj. Christopher “Habu” Walker, Navy Lt. David “Rage” Richardson, Navy Lt. Drew “Peacock” Kollmann, and U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Tavis “TD” Delaney of the 116th Aviation Support Operations Squadron (ASOS) as the lead joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) for the exercise.

“The exercise began as a one-week focus on CAS at San Clemente Island,” Richardson said. “Once we brought ‘TD’ on board, we were able to turn it into a two-week, incredibly dynamic exercise including more assets than seen even at Air Wing Fallon.”

“Phoenix Fire is unique as the first HSC wing-hosted exercise in that its focus is rotary-wing employment,” Walker said. “Real air crew and real JTACs working together in full scenario from wheels-up to wheelsdown resulted in real successes and real failures. Debriefing to those successes and failures is where the learning occurred.”

Phoenix Fire focused on the integration of multiple assets from all over the world.

Participants included JTACs from the 116th ASOS, 6th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, Canadian Special Operations Forces, Special Operations Command Australia, and the U.S. Army’s Special Forces Group.

HSC Wing Pacific MH-60S squadrons

provided the bulk of the air support, but were frequently accompanied by MH-60R Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadrons, F/A18 Super Hornet Strike Fighter Squadrons, Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons, Air Test and Evaluation Squadrons, KC-130 Hercules Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadrons, and Royal Netherlands air force with F-35A Lightning II. Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Pinckney (DDG 91) provided surface combatant support with Coastal Riverine Group 1 with their MK VI patrol craft. These forces prosecuted land-based targets on the island, one expendable high-speed maneuverable surface target, and multiple towed targets.

Training included live and simulated fires from rotary wing, fixed wing, and surface assets.

“As we shrink our footprint in the [global war on terrorism], military branches are again regressing to the misbelief that they

alone can win the next war,” Delaney said.

“Incestuous, compartmentalized, single-service centric training is becoming the norm.

It is extremely unlikely that the U.S. military will ever again act unilaterally. The importance of coalition forces training together in a littoral environment, while simultaneously combining surface, air, and ground elements cannot be stressed enough. Phoenix Fire and events like it will ensure that the hard-won lessons of the past are not lost.”

Phoenix Fire represents the foundation of CAS mission development within the Navy’s HSC community. Each participating entity received a unique training opportunity and helped to develop, foster, and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring safe and effective mission execution.

Ocean View Art Show gives students a glimpse of the artist lifestyle

By Amir Vera The Virginian-Pilot NORFOLK

Art has always run in Stan Tenney’s family.

His grandfather, John B. Tenney Sr., was one of the founding members of the Ocean View Art Show and the Chesapeake Bay Art Association. His father, John Tenney Jr., is an artist and author.

His mother, Hope S. Tenney, was an opera singer.

So for Stan Tenney, a painter, running the 54th Ocean View Art Show came natural.

“It’s in your blood,” Director of the art show and Vice President of the Chesapeake Bay Art Association Tenney said.

“You can’t stop it. When you’re an artist, it changes the way you look at everything.”

The annual event, Tenney said, usually brings between 5,000 and 10,000 visitors to Ocean View Beach Park along with about 90 artists and 60 students from around the region.

“I really enjoy it, I like talking to artists and hearing about how they get their ideas started,” junior at Churchland High School in Portsmouth Dianna Warren said. “I like seeing all the different types of art that people do. It’s cool to look at because you can get different ideas.”

Tonya Hopson, a Norfolk artist, said the art show also acts as a learning space for students.

“It gives them a chance to collaborate with other students and get feedback from other artists,” Hopson said. “They get to speak with the artists and gather information to see if they want to do this for a living.”

The money raised from the art show goes toward the John Tenney scholarship, which is awarded to students in the spring, Tenney said. At Sunday’s art show, Hopson said students were entered into art contests with monetary prizes and ribbons.

Jamie Cosumano, an art teacher at Churchland High, said she brings her ninth-grade students every year.

“I want them to experience what it’s like to exhibit their artwork and how to sell their artwork,” Cosumano said.

Students, teachers and artists agreed the Ocean View Art Show brings the Hampton Roads community together.

“It gives people a chance to enhance their lives,” Norfolk resident Cindy Larkin said.

David Heaberlin of Norfolk said the art show also shows there are things to do in Ocean View.

“It’s not just a beach,” Heaberlin said.

“People that are local can come here instead of driving half an hour away to do something.”

Doctor Strange After a car accident leaves him with nerve damage that ends his career as a New York neurosurgeon, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) travels to Kathmandu in the hope of finding an otherworldly cure for his injuries. There, a powerful mystic known as the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) accepts him as her pupil and trains him in the art of sorcery. Eventually, Strange must use his new powers to stop a rival (Mads Mikkelsen) from causing chaos by accessing the Dark Dimension.

Hacksaw Ridge Mel Gibson directed this biopic about World War II Army medic Desmond Doss (played here by Andrew Garfield). A conscientious objector who refused to take a life or even carry a weapon, Doss was eventually awarded the Medal of Honor for saving the lives of 75 soldiers on the battlefields of Okinawa.

Trolls After a forest tribe of cotton-candy colored, shockheaded Trolls discover they’re the new favorite gourmet treat for King Gristle (John Cleese), the unlikely duo of bubbly Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and worrywart Branch (Justin Timberlake) must rescue their friends from the Chef (Christine Baranski) in this animated fantasy inspired by Danish woodcutter Thomas Dam’s collectible dolls.

VIRGINIA BEACH FUNNY BONE TO BEGIN SCHOOL FOR STAND-UP COMEDIANS

By Yiorgo Contributing writer VIRGINIA BEACH

Most of us believe we have those funny one-liners that will get that great reaction or get us noticed at a party.

“I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.” – Rodney Dangerfield “I have a friend. He keeps trying to convince me he’s a compulsive liar, but I don’t believe him.” – Ben Bailey “I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.” – Steven Wright “Take my wife…please!” – Henny Youngman Well, thanks to The Virginia Beach Funny Bone and standup comedian extraordinaire Tim Loulies, you can now take your first steps towards doing what you have always dreamed of doing ... stand-up comedy!

Tim will teach you the core basics of stand-up comedy including writing, structuring a set, and conquering stage fright!

The payoff will be your very first performance at the Graduation Show, right here at Virginia’s only Comedy Central certified club, the Virginia Beach Funny Bone!

The full 8-week course for the Fall 2016 semester begins Nov. 5th at 1 p.m. The fee is $250.00, you must be 18 and up, and you can enroll now at VaBeachFunnyBone.com We sat down with Tim to find out more about this local treasure of a man who has worked with worked with such famous entertainers as John Witherspoon, Tony Rock, Pauly Shore and Saturday Night Live cast members Tracy Morgan, Kris Catan, Jay Pharoah and Finesse Mitchell.

Yiorgo (Y): Where specifically were you born in the Hampton Roads area and what was that defining moment when you realized that you wanted to go in the entertainment and comedy business?

Tim Loulies (TL): I was born and raised in Portsmouth.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to entertain and work in comedy. Self-doubt is what held me back all my life.

Y: What did you do prior to becoming a comedian?

Friday, Nov. 4 6 p.m. Middle School:The WorstYears of My Life (PG) 9 p.m.The Girl onTheTrain (R)

TL: I had a very successful career in the mortgage industry until the economy crashed in 2007-2008. Then I went into bill collecting and the negativity drove me insane. I began comedy in 2009 and this has been my only job since.

Y: What was it like for you when you first started out? Leaving Hampton Roads, going to Hollywood, New York City?

Talk about those experiences.

TL: If someone wants to make a career out of comedy you have to hit the road, it’s a must. Audiences in each geographical area of the country are different. Getting in front of a variety of crowds makes you a much sharper more defined comic.

New York was more crowded, hustle & grind, LA [Las Angeles] is more laid back and spread out. I enjoyed each and witnessing the quality of talent really puts your abilities much more into perspective and lets you know you still have a lot of work to do. I think sometimes comics make that jump to those bigger cities way to early in their career.

Y: What are your responsibilities with Funny Bone?

TL: I perform (Emcee, Middle) and I just recently closed my first show there. I’ve also taught the Funny Bone’s Comedy School the past 5 years, as well as I promote, and produce niche shows such as the “Geek’s Night of Comedy” which raises money for ALS research (we’ve been doing that way before the ice bucket challenge went viral) & the “Comedy Smackdown” which benefits SLOTH which stands for “Sean’s Last Opportunity To Help,” a non-profit that raises awareness and assists veterans with PTSD. Y: What are some of your favorite “WOW” moments? Did you work with someone you admired? Or someone who you admired complemented your work, or performed at an exclusive location, etc.

TL: One of the people I admire the most in this business is a headliner by the name of Steve Trevino. The first live comedy show I’ve ever been to in my life was at the Funny Bone in 2008 and he was headlining. After the show I asked him how I should go about getting into comedy and he gave me some pointers. One year later when he returned to Virginia Beach he remembered me, and let me open up for him.

Just a week ago, I worked as his middle act & host in Richmond. He is one of the most honest and generous headliners I have ever worked with and he gives great advice on how to improve their career, even the things you may not want to hear. It was also fun working with WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, especially since I’ve been a wrestling fan since I learned to walk.

Y: Why did you start teaching Stand Up Comedy classes?

TL: There were an opening and the GM of the Funny Bone (Rick Bruner) seen the business relationships I built in the area through comedy, and the mentorship I was doing with newer comics and he thought I’d be good at teaching. I had no idea I’d be good at it but it turned into a real passion of mine.

Y: Who should and can take your classes and why should they take them?

TL: Anyone who has felt like stand-up comedy is his or her calling in life. Anyone, who has a wealth of life experiences to talk about, anyone who would like to learn how to break out of a shell they feel they’re trapped in. Anyone who would like to conquer stage fright, and develop or improve their public speaking skills. I have also over the years taught many active duty & retired military. They also have a lot to talk about and understandably so due to their sacrifice and experiences all over the world.

Y: What will they get out of taking your course?

TL: We teach comedic writing, how to build & time a set, stage presence and a little about the business of comedy. They will also find out things they never knew about themselves, even if comedy doesn’t become a career for them. Learning how to write & perform comedy can help you in many different facets of life including your job, relationships & family. And for those who will continue to pursue this long term, the class will cut a year to two years off their learning curve saving them a lot of time, money, and frustration. Also at the end of the 8-week course, they get to perform in front of their family & friends at Virginia’s #1, “A Circuit” comedy club.

Folks can read reviews about the class at FunnyBone ComedySchool on Facebook, as well as follow us on Instagram @ FunnyBoneComedySchool and Twitter @FBComedySchool.

JOHNSON EYES SEVENTH CUP TITLE

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick {SPAN}RIDGEWAY, VA.{/SPAN}

NASCAR’s season-ending Chase format for deciding the Sprint Cup championship has looked at times as if it were made-to-order for Jimmie Johnson and his No. 48 team at Hendrick Motorsports, which has won six championships under the “playoff” format.

Now, with his win at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday, Johnson is in position to tie two of the sport’s all-time great drivers, Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt, who lead all others with seven championships in NASCAR’s top series, now known as Sprint Cup. From the start, Johnson has thrived under the Chase format. He finished second in the inaugural Chase in 2004, then fifth the next year before reeling off five straight championships.

He went without a title for two seasons before winning his sixth in 2013.

But the change to an elimination format in 2014 seemed to work against Johnson and his team, as they failed to advance past the second round for two consecutive seasons, finishing 11th and 10th in the standings in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

This year, Johnson and Co. have sailed through the early rounds of the Chase, despite making some mistakes in the opening round. Johnson won the second-round opener at Charlotte Motor Speedway to secure his spot in the third round under rules that give race winners in each segment

of the Chase an automatic advancement to the next round.

Then, on Sunday at Martinsville, he won the opener of the Round of 8, thereby assuring that he will be in the Championship Round in the season finale at HomesteadMiami Speedway, where all he needs to do is finish ahead of the other three championship contenders to claim a record-tying seventh title.

That prospect likely will dominate the discussion as the Cup circuit races at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend and at Phoenix International Raceway the following week.

Talk began as soon as the checkered flag flew over Sunday’s Goody’s Fast Relief 500.

“I’ve been trying to ignore this conversation about seven (championships), but now I can’t,” Johnson said in Victory Lane after he overcame damage from an early collision with Denny Hamlin and problems with his fuel flow to lead the final 92 laps and score his ninth Martinsville victory.

“We’re locked in. I’m just honored to be in this position.”

He acknowledged that he would be thinking about the possibility of a seventh championship.

“I’ll probably lie to all of you guys and say I’m not going to think about it at all,” he said.

“But it’s inevitable. Fortunately, I don’t have to think about it for three weeks. But we’re going to enjoy this and savor it.

We’re going to get our ducks in a row for Homestead.”

Johnson’s teammate and one-time mentor, Jeff Gordon, said Johnson is a good bet to win the title this year.

“When things are on the line

and things matter most, Jimmie and that team know how to step it up to another level,” Gordon said. “They showed that today. He’ll be showing that again in Homestead.

“I was back there in sixth or seventh place just watching him go after the No. 11 car (Hamlin). That was just phenomenal driving and racing.

Then he just drove away.”

Gordon said that no matter how Johnson does at Homestead, his legacy in NASCAR is secure, and it’s a good one with 79 victories to date, in addition to his six titles.

“Seven is a number to a lot of people, but to me, he is already one of the all-time greats,” Gordon said. “That number might just solidify that in the history books and maybe for some others. Maybe it might be special to him, personally.”

Rick Hendrick, team owner for both Johnson and Gordon, said in the winner’s interview at Martinsville that he, too, believes Johnson is poised to win the title this year.

“I think this is an excellent shot for us, for Jimmie, because I think he’s got that stride,” Hendrick said. “He showed it [Sunday] when he was on the outside of Denny [Hamlin]. He just didn’t give it up.”

Hendrick went on to say that his team’s equipment is better than it’s been in a while, and that Johnson is capable of delivering a strong performance in a pressurepacked situation like the season finale at Homestead.

“With Jimmie, when all the chips are down and it’s for the seventh championship, I think he’s going to ratchet it up a notch,” he said.

FERGUSON TO PUT STAMP ON CHAOTIC 2016

By Thomas Gerbasi UFC.com MEXICO CITY

When it comes to business, Tony Ferguson is more serious than most. That doesn’t mean the lightweight contender can’t crack a smile when jokingly asked why he made things so interesting in his July bout against newcomer and late replacement Lando Vannata.

“I had to,” Ferguson deadpanned. “What kind of sense would that make to go in there and ruin this kid or cut him up and not ever have him get a chance in the UFC again? I’m a nice guy, I helped him out.”

In all seriousness though, Ferguson knows that for a few dicey moments in the first round, his seven-fight win streak and top five ranking were in jeopardy as the debuting Vannata rocked and nearly stopped him. But the Californian didn’t get to this point in his career without knowing how to rebound from adversity.

So he did, submitting Vannata in the second round to pick up his eighth win in a row and another Fight of the Night bonus.

“I got injured for a while and I felt bad about that,” he said.

“I wasn’t there for my family.

So what I did was spend a lot of time at home with my new-

born, played Bob the Builder (Laughs), and tried to invest into not just myself, but something I believe in, which is my house and my family.”

And once he got past Vannata and received the call to face Brazil’s Dos Anjos, the former world lightweight champion, he left Orange County for the mountains of Big Bear, where he built his own gym.

“I built it straight up with my hands from the ground up,” he said. “No screws left unscrewed, I built everything. It was awesome.”

Until some of those screws got loose.

“I’m looking at my fingers right now and I have a couple little holes in there,” he laughs.

“But these are little memories that I take with me. And I take that inside the Octagon.

I secluded myself from everything. I took myself out of the picture from OC and finding peace is huge, especially when I’m training for a fight. I feel bad for RDA, honestly because I put a lot of time and effort into this.”

Ferguson talks about the serenity he found in Big Bear, which has long been the home to excellent boxers like Gennady Golovkin, Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya, as well as UFC Hall of Famer

Tito Ortiz. But once he traded the high altitude of Big Bear for the high altitude of Mexico City, Ferguson has given up on mincing words when it comes to his peers and his place in the pecking order – not just at 155, but at featherweight and welterweight as well.

“I’m almost to the top and these guys need to get it through their head that I’m coming for them,” he said. “I’m a nightmare for anybody in this division, and even at 145 and 170.

And trust me, I will touch those divisions. Once I’m done with this one, I’ll drop down and I’ll jump up. I’ll knock everybody out at 170, I’m knocking everybody out at 155 and you can be damn sure I’ll do the same thing at 145.”

He doesn’t stammer, doesn’t blink. Ferguson is all-in now, and starting on Saturday, he’s in the statement-making business.

“I’m the best in the world, and I can dance with anybody in that Octagon,” he said. “And come November 5, me and RDA in Mexico City, I’m here to provide a show and I’m not gonna disappoint. I give respect to RDA and have no animosity towards him, but this is business. I’m here to do a job and I’m very good at what I do.

I’m here to stay.”

Michael Wade Old Dominion Monarchs guard Ahmad Caver (4) brings the ball up the floor in a game between Old Dominion Monarchs and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Old Dominion defeated Western Kentucky by the score of 89-77 in the semifinals of the Conference USA Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama.

For new starting guard, minimizing turnovers is the point Caver set to take over Freeman’s role as primary ballhandler

By Ed Miller The Virginian-Pilot NORFOLK

When Old Dominion basketball coach Jeff Jones played point guard at Virginia, he allowed himself one turnover per game.

“After that, I was extra careful,” he said.

Careful or not, one afternoon 36 years ago, Jones exceeded his personal allowance by six in a loss to Ohio State. It irks him to this day.

“National TV, Super Bowl Sunday, I had seven turnovers,” he said.”I was miserable. I hated them then, and I live with that still.”

Jones’ disdain for turnovers is reflected in his teams’ play over the years.

No squad in the nation committed fewer turnovers last season than ODU’s 9.1 per game.

Granted, the Monarchs played at the nation’s fourth-slowest pace, but even allowing for tempo, their turnover percentage was sixth-best in country.

For a team that didn’t shoot particularly well, taking care of the ball and crashing the offensive glass were part of a winning formula that enabled the Monarchs to get extra possessions and probably extra wins.

“If you get more possessions, you get more attempts, and that can be very beneficial,” Jones said.

The Monarchs are hoping to reap similar benefits this season on a team trying to blend six returnees with six newcomers and two players who sat out last season.

Limiting turnovers has been an emphasis since the team began practicing for a tour of Spain in August and has continued to be a focus .

With team chemistry still being forged and the new players facing a steep learning curve, it’s very much a work in progress, Jones said.

“There were some days when it was really bad. We were just careless with the ball, we were going too fast with the ball, we weren’t going strong. We were trying plays that just weren’t there,” he said.

“We’re figuring it out. We still have stretches where I’ve got to stop and say, ‘We’ve turned the ball over three of the last five possessions.’ ”

The official practice tally is kept by director of basketball operations Dennis Wolff, with each turnover equaling a post-practice sprint, forward Zoran Talley said.

ODU ran some sprints last year , but with point guard Trey Freeman running the offense, the Monarchs generally took care of the ball.

Although Freeman shouldered as big an offensive burden as any player in the country – taking a higher percentage of his team’s shots (38.8) than any player in the nation – he also ranked eighth nationally in lowest turnover rate.

With Freeman gone, primary ballhandling duties will fall to sophomore point guard Ahmad Caver, a gifted passer and playmaker whose decision-making has improved since the trip to Spain, Jones said.

“Ahmad got some good experience last year, but he wasn’t counted on,” Jones said.

That will change this year. Caver said he knows many view the point guard position as one of the team’s question marks, and is looking forward to the challenge.

“It’s good that (teams) don’t know me because they really haven’t scouted me, and they don’t know what I’ve been working on,” he said. “I just want the game to show what I can do, rather than talking about it.”

With a deeper and more athletic team , Caver believes the Monarchs can play faster when needed. Talley said Caver excels in the open court and in halfcourt, where he’s adept at running the pick-and-roll.

“Ahmad will zip that pass in and find you,” he said.

Talley also will have some ballhandling duties, and Jones is looking for a backup point guard who can manage the game while Caver is out, getting the team into its offense and taking care of the ball. Freshman Travis Fields (Norcom High) and junior college transfer Keith Pinckney are the candidates.

With little proven shooting on the roster, and with Freeman and guard Aaron Bacote’s combined 35.5 points per game to make up, the Monarchs will once again need to maximize their possessions.

It’s up to everyone on the team to make the proper “risk/reward” calculus, Jones said.

Caver is ready to lead the way, he said.

“I hate turning the ball over,” he said.

“I don’t keep track of my assists, but I do keep track of my turnovers.”

In that sense, he’s just like his coach.
