HSC-7 completes training in US 5th Fleet

By PO3 Cole Keller USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs U.S. 5TH FLEET

A group of pilots, maintainers and aircrewmen assigned to the Dusty Dogs of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 7 conducted specialized combat search and rescue (SAR) and special operations support training in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility, Oct. 16-20.

U.S. 5th Fleet served as an opportune place for pilots of HSC-7 to conduct training in degraded visual environments.

“We don’t get an opportunity to land in conditions like these while being based out of Norfolk,” HSC7’s tactics officer Lt. Patrick Dunn said. “The sand is a lot finer here and blows up a lot more. It was an awesome experience and I think we all feel a lot more comfortable with these circumstances now.”

Joining every pilot is a team of experienced maintainers who keep the helicopters ready to perform in the most extreme conditions and are indispensable to mission success.

“Our maintainers were incredible,” Dunn said.

“We had some aircraft issues while we were out

there and our guys pulled together and fixed the birds in no time. They worked so incredibly hard in limited number. It was inspiring to see.”

Along with the maintainers, the aircrewmen in the aircraft were able to qualify and maintain currency of night landing and landing the aircraft in desert conditions.

“Our main job while flying is to keep the aircraft safe,” HSC-7’s Training Leading Chief Jay Okonek said. “When the pilots come in at about 60 feet they lose sight of the landing zone. In situations like these, we are their eyes. [U.S. 5th] Fleet offers the added difficulty of landing in brown-out conditions.”

In one training scenario, a team was inserted into an urban training complex and called on the aircrewmen to provide air cover.

“This is by far one of the most fun and crewintensive trainings we can do,” Okonek said. “The whole crew has to be in it together or else it’s not going to work. If you don’t have the pilots, gunners and crew chief all doing their part, the mission won’t succeed.”

In addition to being more comfortable with the conditions of the area of responsibility, the

squadron worked closely with the Air Force’s 82nd Expeditionary Airfield Special Operations Support team in the event they need to support special operations forces on the ground.

“We are always the air wing’s combat search and rescue asset,” Dunn said. “In a worst-case scenario where someone was shot down, we maintain the capability to go in and retrieve them safely. We train heavily for missions over the water, but this training allowed us to practice for the over land side as well.”

For all hands involved, this training offered and opportunity that could not be found over water. It reassured the crew and the pilots they were prepared for the worst of scenarios.

“It’s a confidence builder for everyone to work in this kind of environment,” Okonek said. “It puts us to the test and lets us know that we can go anywhere and do what we need to do, no matter what the conditions are.”

SECNAV names next amphibious assault ship From Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced Nov. 9, that the name of the next America-class amphibious assault ship will be USS Bougainville (LHA 8).

The naming ceremony took place at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

LHA-8 will be the second ship to be named after Bougainville, an island in the northern Solomons, which was the location of a World War II campaign in 1943-1944, during which allies secured a strategic airfield from Japan. Success at Bougainville isolated all Japanese forces left in the Solomons.

The first Bougainville was an escort carrier that was launched in 1944, a year after the Bougainville campaign began. It was decommissioned for the first time in 1946. It was then brought back into service for five years before earning two battle stars for its service in World War II and being struck from the naval register in 1960.

Amphibious assault ships maintain presence by serving as the cornerstone of amphibious readiness groups and expeditionary strike groups.

Amphibious warships are designed to support the Marine Corps tenets of Operational Maneuver from the Sea and Ship to Objective Maneuver. They must be capable of sailing into harm’s way and enable rapid combat power buildup ashore in the face of opposition.

Because of their inherent capabilities, these ships have been and will continue to be called upon to also support humanitarian and other contingency missions on short notice. The United States maintains the largest and most capable amphibious force in the world.

As an LHA-variant of the America-class amphibious assault ship, USS Bougainville will be built by Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc., in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Additional information about amphibious assault ships is available online at www.navy.mil/local/LHA/.

Secretary Mabus names newest Arleigh-Burke class destroyer From Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs CHERRY POINT, N.C.

In a ceremony Nov. 9, at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, DDG 121, will be named Frank E. Petersen Jr., in honor of the Marine Corps lieutenant general who was the first African-American Marine Corps aviator and the first African-American Marine Corps general officer.

In 1950, two years after President Harry S. Truman desegregated the armed forces, Petersen enlisted in the Navy.

In 1952, Petersen was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. He would go on to fly 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He also went on to become the first African-American in the Marine Corps to command a fighter squadron, an air group and a major base.

Petersen retired from the Marine Corps in 1988 after 38 years of service. At the time of his retirement he was, by date of designation, the senior-ranking aviator in the Marine Corps and the Navy.

Petersen died last year at his home in Stevensville, Maryland, near Annapolis, at the age of 83. This is the first ship to be named for Petersen.

“The courage and perseverance of Lt. Gen. Petersen throughout his distinguished and ground-breaking career make him especially deserving of this honor,” Mabus said.

“Those who serve aboard DDG 121 will, for decades, carry on the storied legacy of this Marine Corps hero.”

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers conduct a variety of operations from peacetime presence and crisis response to sea control and

power projection. DDG 121 will be capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously, and will contain a combination of offensive and defensive weapon systems designed to support maritime warfare including integrated air and missile defense and vertical launch capabilities.

Construction began on the future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) April 27, at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and the ship is expected to enter the Navy fleet in 2020.

Frank E. Petersen Jr. will be built in the Flight IIA configuration with the AEGIS Baseline 9 Combat System which includes Integrated Air and Missile Defense capability. This system delivers quick reaction time, high firepower and increased electronic countermeasures capability for Anti-Air Warfare.

The ship will be 509 feet long, have a beam length of 59 feet and be capable of operating at speeds in excess of 30 knots.

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA OCEANA RECOGNIZES CIVILIAN ACHIEVEMENTS

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

PO2 Jacob S. Richardson Visitors tour the new youth center Sports Zone. The Sports Zone was designed to provide the children and families of Oceana Service members a place to have parties, and give members of youth sports teams a way to practice during the off season.

New Youth Center Sports Zone unveiled

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

Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana’s Youth Center cut the ribbon on the new Sports Zone facility, Nov. 11.

The facility, which is filled with all new state-of-the-art games and sport simulators, was designed to provide the children and families of Oceana service members a place to have fun, hold birthdays, parties, and celebrations in addition to giving members of youth sports teams a way to practice in the winter and off seasons.

“Over the last couple years, thanks to funding and grants awarded to us, we have been able to focus our effort and create a truly all inclusive Child and Youth Program at Oceana,” NAS Oceana Child and Youth Program Administrator Nancy Byrne said.

“At the disposal of NAS Oceana families is our main Youth Center complex which we moved into June last year, a youth fitness and sports program, before and after school programs, and the new Sports Zone

which we unveiled today with plans to keep expanding to meet the needs of our families and their children.”

The Sports Zone facility is the first of a multi-phase project to renovate and upgrade the Child and Youth Program facilities on base. Future upgrades will include places for taekwondo and ballet classes, child and adult circuit training, and a reading and science center.

“We are very excited to start expanding the gym giving parents multiple ways to keep their child engaged in sport and fitness,” NAS Oceana Child and Youth Program Fitness Director Vinny Spagnuolo said. “We don’t want to just introduce children to sports but keep them and their parents active year round, always finding new activities to do together.”

“We are breaking ground, not only for Oceana but for the Navy, being the first Child and Youth Program to offer services and a facility like this,” Byrne said. “It is and always will be our mission to support our Oceana families and their children, and provide them with the best Child and Youth Program possible.”

Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana and its leadership awarded the civilians of the quarter and year on Oct. 9th, recognizing their individual achievements and exceptional support of the installation and its mission.

The civilians of the quarter, fourth quarter 2016, are as follows: Michele Prophett, Amy Wade-Smith, Shannon Curry, Daniela King, Walter Harold, and Dean Williams.

The civilians of the year, 2016, are as follows: Michele Prophet, Amy WadeSmith, Carmi Monato, Gil Ballesteros, Brenda Harvey, and Toni Fox. The civilian work force on NAS Ocean has many jobs and responsibilities. From integrating with contractors, outside businesses and enterprises to incorporating strategic, innovative concepts, Navy installations rely heavily on its civilians and the expertise they bring.

“The job the civilians on NAS Oceana do each and every day is vitally important to this mission,” NAS Oceana staff integrator Cmdr. Shaun Bellemare said. “Without the team, without the Oceana family, without hard working civilians and military working in concert, the mission would simply fail and our Sailors and warfighters would suffer.”

To select civilians of the quarter and year, each organization on the installation puts forth a nominee for se-

lection. They then compete with others, first from within their own department, then again against personnel from other departments located on NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex, and Fentress. Each nominee has been recognized by their peers, their departments, their supervisors and upper echelons of the chain of command. The selection process is designed to be rigorous, fair, and equitable.

“NAS Oceana civilians work with and improve almost every aspect of this installation,” Bellemare said.

“From instrument carrier landing system integration, security and front gate improvements, public works, environmental stewardship, public affairs, community relations, the solar array project, airport improvement, fire and emergency services, fleet and family, moral, welfare and recreation and child youth services, they all support the Navy’s mission and

its Sailors.”

“It’s a privilege to be chosen to represent the civilians who work here,” civilian of the month awardee Daniela King said. “The efforts of the base and its leadership to recognize the hard work of its employees goes a long way with the integration of the civilian workforce into this military organization and lets us all learn a little more about each other.”

“With over 450 civilians working here at NAS Oceana, their importance at this installation and within the community cannot be underestimated,” NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt.

Rich Meadows said. “Their work supports the fleet, family and warfighter and their tireless efforts go into the betterment of everyone’s lives, their safety and the effectiveness of this installation, and I am happy to be able to see all the selectees here today and recognize their hard work.”

Service members participating in Baton Rouge Navy Week completed a Community Relations (COMREL) project alongside volunteers from the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank (GBRFB), Nov. 4.

The COMREL, focused on separating and delivering donated food items to low-income seniors, is part of GBRFB’s Adopt-a-Senior food distribution program.

“We’re out here helping seniors on limited incomes,” Warehouse Coordinator for Adopt-a-Senior Kenneth Clayborne said. “After living expenses like food, water, rent, and medicine there is usually not a lot left over financially for these members of our community.”

Volunteers included Sailors assigned to the ballistic-missile submarine USS Louisiana (SSBN 743) who were in Baton Rouge for Navy Week events.

“Taking part in Navy Week, and this COMREL was a very rewarding experience,” Louisiana crew member Petty Officer 2nd Class Jacob Singleton said. “It feels great to be in this city helping those less fortunate that us.”

Every year, America’s Navy comes home to approximately 15 cities across the country to show Americans why having a strong Navy is critical to the American way of life.

Since 2005, the Navy Week program has served as the Navy’s principal outreach effort into areas of the country without a significant Navy presence. The program is designed to help Americans understand their Navy is deployed around the world, around the clock, ready to defend America at all times.

Navy Weeks focus a variety of outreach assets, equipment, and personnel on a single city for a weeklong series of engagements with key influencers and organizations representing all sectors of the market.

CNO presents 36th annual Stockdale Leadership Award

By PO3 Eric Brann Defense Media Activity WASHINGTON

The 36th annual Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale Leadership Award ceremony was held, Nov. 8, in the Pentagon Hall of Heroes in the District of Columbia.

Cmdr. Gary G. Montalvo, the U.S. Pacific Fleet recipient, and Cmdr. Ken J. Kleinschnittger, the U.S. Fleet Forces recipient, received the award.

The award is presented annually to two commissioned officers, on active duty, in the grade of commander or below, who are serving in command of a single unit, and who serve as examples of excellence in leadership and conspicuous contribution to the improvement of leadership in the Navy.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson served as guest speaker at the ceremony and presented the awards to the winners.

Richardson received the award in 2001.

Montalvo is the commanding officer of attack submarine USS North Carolina (SSN 777).

“With so many great leaders in our Navy, this award is amazing; but to be nominated by my peers is just simply humbling beyond words,” Montalvo said. “I have known of Adm. Stockdale since the first memory I have in the Navy. He was the leader of leaders from his tribulations in Hanoi, and how he handled that continuously degrading situation with as much poise as you can have were reflective of his model leadership.

In my earliest days, he was

the example of what leadership was supposed to be.”

Kleinschnittger is the former commanding officer of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 12 and is currently working with Navy Expeditionary Combat Command forces.

“When I was a midshipman there was a room called the Stockdale room – just a room with a plaque on it called Stockdale’s Place,” Kleinschnittger said. “I never in my wildest dreams imagined my name would be associated with his.”

By PO3 Cole Keller USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs MANAMA, BAHRAIN

For the second time during their 2016 deployment, the crew of aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) pulled into the Kingdom of Bahrain for a port visit, Nov. 1-5.

The respite was welcome and gave the crew another opportunity to venture out into the streets of the tiny island nation to experience the local culture.

“I can’t believe how nice it is here,” Seaman Tyler Owens said.

“I was able to rest and relax in a five-star hotel for the first time in my life. After taking full advantage of the pool and spa, I feel ready to get back out to sea.”

Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) hosted several tours and events including horseback riding, go-karting and a tour

of the city. Sightseeing tours took Sailors throughout the capital city of Manama to see national monuments like the Al-Fateh Mosque, Bahrain World Trade Center and a 4,000-year-old fortress. Participants were given a hands-on history lesson, and were able to learn about the origins of the culture of Bahrain.

“I didn’t know how much history this city held last time I visited,” Chief Daphne Johnston said.

“I saw the country in a new light after learning about the historical significance of the area.”

The crew was afforded an opportunity to give back to the community and strengthen relations with the Bahraini people when Sailors were invited to a local school to read and spend time with students.

“It was heartwarming to be around the kids and give back to the country that hosted us,” Petty

Officer 3rd Class Duc Nguyen said. “I think it’s the most rewarding way to spend your off time.”

Eisenhower departed Bahrain well-rested and ready to continue in support of ongoing operations in the area.

“The culture of the Middle East is incredibly different from that of America,” Seaman Rebekkah Hoover said. “There’s no way to fully appreciate it un-

til you experience it in person. I left Bahrain with a better understanding of the people and why they live the way they do.”

Eisenhower, embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, and the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group are deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, maritime security operations, and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

Navy Cargo Handling Battalion (NCHB) 1, the Navy’s only active component cargo battalion, celebrated 67 years of expeditionary cargo handling throughout the world in October.

NCHB 1’s history includes joint operations after World War II in the Pacific to Vietnam. The command was created 67 years ago and World War II ended in 1945.

NCHB 1 was established Oct. 1, 1949, at the Seabee base in Danville, Rhode Island, and relocated to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Cheatham Annex, Williamsburg, in 1953, where the battalion continues to train and operate. The battalion trains with its counterparts in the Army during Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore and Joint Task Force Port Opening operations.

NCHB 1 is a rapidly-deployable operating unit of the Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG), capable of embarkation and disembarkation of ships and aircraft under all climate and threat conditions.

Out of seven cargo battalions under NAVELSG, NCHB 1 to this day remains the only active component cargo handling battalion, answering the call for expeditionary cargo operations worldwide.

NAVELSG delivers expeditionary logistics and equipment to theater commanders in support of national military strategy. NAVELSG and NCHB 1 fall under Navy Expeditionary Combat Command.

In the next five years, more than 1 million military members and their families will transition to civilian life. For many, finding employment will be the most challenging part of their transition.

O2O brings together curriculum development and program delivery expertise from IVMF and the support of career coaching and mentoring by Hire Heroes USA. The program is funded by the Schultz Family Foundation.

“The Onward to Opportunity program has the potential to fundamentally shift how the private sector engages and supports our service members and their families as they navigate to civilian employment,” Executive Director and Founder of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families and Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation at Syracuse University Dr. Mike Haynie said. “O2O’s ‘pipeline’ approach to workforce skills training soon to be offered in Hampton Roads will allow transitioning service members to receive training aligned with present and future demand in the labor market, supporting a ‘job-ready’ transition from military service to the civilian world of work.”

Offered on military installations across the country, O2O provides in-person and online training designed to prepare the next generation of leaders in today’s economy. The program partners with leading veteran service organizations and private sector companies to identify employers committed to training and hiring veterans and military spouses. These employer-partners are engaged throughout each phase of the O2O program by assisting in curriculum design, interacting with participants as they progress through the program, and identifying specific career paths and interview opportunities within their company that align with the skillsets of graduates.

The first step for interested parties is to attend an upcoming orientation session.

Location: Devary Hall (aka the “Wind & Sea” Building, C-9) 9475 Bacon Ave. Naval Station Norfolk (Second Deck) Norfolk, VA 23511 Dates for Upcoming O2O Orientation Sessions: • Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to noon in Room #2 • Jan. 10 from 10 a.m. to noon in Room #1 O2O is coordinated through Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Fleet and family support centers and is offered to members of all service branches, including the Selective Reserve, and all spouses of transitioning active duty service members.

Most libraries require silent contemplation while reading, leaving children largely unenthused about learning. However, at the Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek library, “Toddler Time” has grabbed the attention of young children of activeduty service members.

Toddler Time, a literacy program for children between 18 months and three-years-old, focuses on the five points of early literacy, as outlined by the “Every Child Ready to Read” project, which includes talking, singing, reading, writing and playing.

“It’s a very open environment,” library technician Chloe Barbour said. “The kids have the freedom to interact and learn in a fun way.”

Parents and children both par-

ticipate in the preplanned activities during Toddler Time, allowing children to explore and learn amongst themselves while parents have an opportunity to interact with other parents and service members.

“My daughter has blossomed since she’s been here,” mother and military spouse Krystle Molina said. “Before this she was very shy and hardly spoke; now

she actually communicates and wants to participate.”

Since its recent beginnings in October 2016, Toddler Time has grown from 10 to 42 participants. With popularity increasing among library patrons, plans to expand to the Little Creek Branch Library are underway.

The branch library’s program is slated to be fully available starting in January 2017.

“The library technicians really take the time to ensure that this is a safe environment for the kids,” Library Director Brandy Stevens said. “Their attention to detail is impressive.”

Kearsarge receives Conservation Award Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy) Joseph Bryan speaks to the crew of the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3).

By SN Dana Legg USS Kearsarge Public Affairs NORFOLK

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy) Joseph Bryan visited amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) to present the ship with the platinum-level award for exemplary achievements in energy and water efficiency for fiscal year 2016, Nov. 4.

“About seven years ago the Secretary of the Navy set some pretty aggressive energy goals,” Bryan said.

“At the time, the question was, ‘Why? Why does the Secretary of the Navy care about energy?’ The answer was pretty simple. It’s because it matters to the mission. We want to be able to go farther on a tank of gas. We want to be able to stay on station longer, and we want to be able to deliver more firepower while we’re there. So what you do in respect to energy conservation matters.”

The ship’s commanding officer, Capt. Larry Getz, accepted the award on behalf of the ship and his crew.

“It’s an honor to receive this award and have Secretary Bryan visit us today,” Getz said. “Onboard Kearsarge, we go to great lengths to reduce our ship’s energy footprint in all that we

“The award is a great recognition to our crew,” Kearsarge’s energy and water consumption representative Ensign Matthew Korte said. “It’s proof that our operators know what they’re doing, and care about our environment.”

“Kearsarge maintained excellent records of fuel and water use and ensured that none was wasted by procedural violations or improper plant operation,” Korte said. “We also drove the ship conservatively, operating at our most efficient bell for the circumstance.”

The awards are presented to those commands that have made notable progress toward the DON goals to reduce energy and water consumption, increase use of renewable energy sources, and construct sustainable facilities. The program evaluates and classifies the overall energy and water management performance of each installation.

Awardees are categorized according to SECNAV winners, platinum, gold and blue level achievement.

As part of the energy efficient initiative, President Obama has proclaimed October to be Energy Action Month. For the Navy and Marine Corps, Energy Action Month is an opportunity to reinforce how critical energy is to mission accomplishment and to encourage Sailors and Marines to look for ways to optimize their energy use to boost warfighting capabilities.

Navy announces policy guidance for transgender personnel In July 2017, transgender applicants who meet updated accessions standards may be accessed into the armed services PO3 Taylor L. Jackson

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON

On Nov. 5, the secretary of the navy published guidance on the Department of the Navy’s (DON) transgender policy in SECNAVINST 1000.11. Following the release of the SECNAVINST, the Navy announced its interim guidance for service of transgender personnel Nov. 7, via NAVADMIN 248/16.

To remain the finest seagoing fighting force the world has ever known, the Navy needs men and women who are the right fit for the right job regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, creed or gender identity.

Our goal is to ensure that the mission is carried out by the most qualified and capable service members. If the individual can meet the Navy’s standards, they should be afforded the opportunity to serve.

Effective Oct. 1, transgender Sailors could

begin the process to officially change their gender in our personnel administrative systems in accordance with DOD and service policy. On July 1, 2017, transgender applicants who meet updated accessions standards may be accessed into the armed services.

In order for Sailors to transition genders, they must receive a diagnosis from a military medical provider (MMP) indicating that gender transition is medically necessary and develop a transition plan, approved by their commanding officer. The transition plan must include the individual Sailor’s medical treatment plan and must take into consideration both the desires of the individual and the operational requirements of the command. Transition medical treatment differs for each individual. During the transition process, service members shall comply with all standards of the gender marker currently

in Navy personnel administrative systems and DEERS. The NAVADMIN details the procedures for Sailors to transition genders and identifies several policy changes. There will be new modesty policies to allow for increased privacy in berthing, shower and head facilities, adjustment to language in the urinalysis program and adding gender identity to the military equal opportunity policy. After careful review of the physical readiness program, it was determined that no change was needed to the current policy and that standards remain the same for all Sailors.

Training will be provided to commands starting in November. Commands will be provided DVDs, training materials, a facilitation guide, a commanding officer’s toolkit, along with the DOD handbook on transgender service to help Sailors understand gender transitions. For units in remote training

Navy families Take Back the Night

By Marc Ayalin Navy Region Center Singapore Public Affairs SINGAPORE

Military service members and their families along with DOD civilians assigned to Navy Region Center Singapore (NCRS) walked along the streets of Sembawang, Singapore to raise awareness and support for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, Nov. 4.

The event entitled, Take Back the Night, included more than 30 participants who gathered to peacefully march along the streets of Singapore and take back the fear that is surrounded by the belief that violence is perpetrated by strangers in the night.

According to Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Civilian Victim Advocate for the Family Service Office in Navy Region Singapore Tara Bennett “Take Back the Night” events

have taken place since the 1970s and were in response to a series of crimes against women. Since then, the event has evolved to bring awareness and support to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

“The premise of Take Back the Night is that women have been taught to fear the night,” Bennett said. “This notion places the blame of being assaulted on the victims because it implies that if the victims had not been out at night, they would not have been assaulted. In addition, it ignores the fact that most people are assaulted by people they know.”

According to Bennett, three out of four rapes are perpetrated by people known to the victim while domestic violence occurs between intimate partners. Meanwhile, community involvement is a key factor in raising awareness and for the Family Service Office of NRCS, events such as Take

areas that may not have access to the faceto-face training, there will be webinars for triads to ask questions prior to delivering training to their commands. Training should be complete for all active-duty Sailors no later than Jan. 31, 2017, and April 30, 2017, for reserve Sailors.

This policy guidance only applies to Navy military personnel — both active and reserve. Questions on DON’S transgender civilian personnel shall be referred to the DON Office of Civilian Human Resources, and the DON Office of the General Counsel and questions on transgender civilian contractors serving with the Navy should be referred to the contracting officer’s representative.

To help answer Sailors’ questions, contact (855) 628-9311 (NAVY-311). Sailors will need to press “0” and follow a series of prompts or email Navy311@navy.mil.

The Department of the Navy (DON) is one of the most talented and resourceful expeditionary forces in the world and Secretary of the Navy the Honorable Ray Mabus would like to recognize the ingenuity Sailors, Marines and DON civilians showcase every day.

“I want the entire workforce, from the most senior admirals, generals and civilian executives to recruits and officer candidates, to look for ways to improve their organizations and accomplish their missions,” Mabus said. “Also, continue to push to develop capabilities and concepts that make us more agile and resilient regardless of challenges on our horizon.”

The 2016 SECNAV Innovation Awards recognize personnel who have made significant achievements in one of eight different categories. Also, new to this year’s awards is a trophy design contest. DON personnel can enter the contest as an individual or as a member of a two-person team.

“Across military and corporate organizations, the most successful teams use the talents organic to their workforce to innovatively solve important problems,” Acting Director of DON’s Strategy and Innovation Rob Marshall said. “We want to challenge and empower our force to do the same and these awards are one way we can recognize extraordinary work.” » See CONTEST | B7

Heroes atHome OPEN LETTER: TO THE FRIENDS I IGNORE

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

I can see it in your eyes. You’re not happy.

You think I’ve been ignoring you. You think I’m an awful friend.

Not too long ago, we were close. We talked on the phone. We had lunch. We met at the gym. We exchanged texts. I showed interest in your life.

But recently, I’ve been aloof. I haven’t called. I stopped meeting you for coffee. I didn’t “Like” that photo you posted of your kids on Facebook.

To be quite honest, I haven’t given you a second thought.

But before you jump to conclusions, let me assure you: I’m not tired of you. I’m not hanging out with other friends. And I most certainly haven’t forgotten about you. The fact is, I haven’t been thinking much about you, or anyone else for that matter, because our family is moving again.

Counting those few months we lived in that creepy townhouse with the shag carpeting in Virginia Beach in 1998, and the half year we

PO2 Justin Wolpert

rented that funky beach shack in Jacksonville, Florida, while we waited for base housing in 2011, our Navy family has moved nine times since Francis and I married 23 years ago.

I’m not bellyaching. Many military families have moved a lot more than we have, others have moved less. Besides, I’ve enjoyed every place we’ve lived – well, except for that townhouse. We had to clap twice before entering the kitchen to scare off the roaches, and it had a strange scent that smelled like pickles packed in moth balls.

Frankly, it doesn’t really matter how many times a military family moves – what matters is that every move, whether it’s overseas or across town, is a big ordeal. The kind of thing that destroys daily routines, challenges the strongest coping skills, and turns grown adults into moody little brats.

It happens every time Francis receives Navy orders. My behavior doesn’t change at first, but as time passes, and our move dates get closer and closer, I slowly withdraw into my own chaotic, stressed, little world.

My normal everyday thoughts about dog hair, power walks, coffee, defrosting chicken, and Friday night fire pits – are slowly replaced, one by one, with frantic ramblings and strange inner voices, until I become a military spouse precariously perched on the threshold of moving insanity.

“How did we accumulate all this crap? We need more plastic storage bins! What if I forget to call about turning off the cable? We have to spackle that hole in the wall before the housing inspection! What if we go over the weight limit again? Why haven’t I taken the numbered stickers off the furniture from our last move?!”

In the days before the packers arrive, I become

so self-absorbed, I am incapable of normal social interaction. In a subconscious attempt to repel other humans and thereby minimize distractions, I stop showering, brushing my hair, and applying deodorant. I become so hell-bent on using up all the food in the kitchen, I concoct strange casseroles with things like pork chops, oyster crackers, canned green beans, raisins and tater tots. I walk around the house armed with a Sharpie marker and a clipboard, muttering something about Ziploc baggies and duct tape, my left eye twitching from a stressinduced tick.

It’s not a pretty sight. But at this point, I really don’t care about my rat’s nest of hair, the drool on my chin, the neighborhood pot luck, the next episode of Survivor, or you. Because all I can think about it one thing: Our Tenth Move.

As I write this, I have exactly fifteen days until the moving company arrives to pack up every coffee cup, photo album, extension cord, lounge chair, lampshade, screw driver, text book, Christmas ornament, bicycle, pencil and picture frame we own.

The reason I like you is because you understand. Until our household goods arrive at their new destination, until we find the towels and sheets and dishes and TV remote and coffee maker, and until I flop down on the couch in our new home and take a deep breath – I won’t realize how much I really miss you.

Thanks, my friends, for always forgiving me.

Currently stationed in Newport, R.I., Lisa is a 23-year Navy spouse and mother of three, whose columns appear in military and civilian newspapers nationwide including Stars and Stripes, and on her award-winning blog, themeatandpotatoesoflife.com. Follow Lisa @ MolinariWrites.

TRICARE

Open enrollment and the health insurance marketplace News Release Health.mil HAMPTON ROADS

It’s the time of year when people can enroll in or change their health insurance plan. The open enrollment period for HealthCare.gov is Nov. 1, 2016 to Jan. 31, 2017, for 2017 coverage.

How does this affect you? Most TRICARE beneficiaries don’t need to worry about open enrollment.

However, for beneficiaries who are not eligible for TRICARE coverage, have lost or are losing coverage, or may qualify to purchase a TRICARE premium-based health plan (TYA, TRR, TRS or CHCBP) you can use this open enrollment period to see if there are other health coverage options that work best for you and your family.

Go to HealthCare.gov to explore your coverage options outside of TRICARE. Specify that you don’t

currently have coverage when using the portal to find out if you qualify for financial assistance and review coverage plans offered in your area without submitting an application.

On HealthCare.gov, go to the ‘Individual and Families’ tab, and click ‘Get Coverage’. From there, click the ‘$ See Plans and Prices’ section near the middle of the web page. Follow the directions to enter your zip code, family size, and income, to get an estimate of available coverage and costs, including available plans, premiums, and cost shares. If you are under 30, you can get personalized health coverage options on HealthCare.gov.

After exploring the health insurance marketplace options, you can use TRICARE.mil to compare TRICARE premium based coverage and costs to the marketplace plans. You can also compare TRICARE plans online with our

‘Compare Plans’ tool. If you need additional help, call the HealthCare.gov toll free line – 800-3182596 or TTY: 855-889-4324 – or contact a local person or group in your area for assistance. Visit their ‘Contact Us’ page to enter a zip code to find contact information for individuals and organizations in your area.

If you are currently enrolled in a premium based TRICARE plan and decide to use a non-TRICARE option, you need to submit a disenrollment request to your TRICARE regional contractor. Be sure not to dis-enroll from your current TRICARE coverage until you confirm the start date of your new coverage so that there is no gap in coverage and you aren’t penalized for each month that you and the other individuals listed on your tax form do not have coverage. Once the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System records your

disenrollment date, the Defense Manpower Data Center responds to queries from the Federal Hub that you do not have minimum essential coverage from the Department of Defense (DOD).

Beneficiaries losing TRICARE coverage due to separation or discharge, divorce, aging out, etc., may qualify to enroll for alternate coverage during a special enrollment period. They must apply for marketplace coverage within 60 days of losing their TRICARE coverage. You can find more information online at HealthCare.gov.

Don’t forget that the Affordable Care Act requires most Americans, including TRICARE beneficiaries and DOD employees, have MEC. Most TRICARE plans meet this requirement, but if you want to explore health care options outside of TRICARE, make sure to visit HealthCare.gov during open enrollment.

USS SAN DIEGO COMPLETES NASA ORION MISSION

PO3 Alfred A. Coffield Petty Officer 2nd Class Ryan Mead, a Navy diver assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 3 and Mobile Dive and Salvage Company 3-1, conducts towing operations and safety procedures for the boilerplate-testing article (BTA), belonging to NASA’s Orion program, in the Pacific Ocean Oct. 30. NASA is currently testing the BTA with help from the USS San Diego (LPD 22) utilizing NASA and Naval technology with the goal of reducing manning and increasing safety.

By PO1 Joseph M. Buliavac USS San Diego Public Affairs PACIFIC OCEAN

Amphibious transport dock USS San Diego (LPD 22) successfully completed recovery operations of the NASA Orion crew module, Nov. 1.

The Underway Recovery Test (URT) 5 is part of a U.S. government interagency effort to safely retrieve the Orion crew module which is capable of carrying humans into deep space.

This marks the second time a URT has taken place aboard San Diego. Lessons learned from previous recovery tests and Exploration Flight Test-1 are being used to improve the recovery process and ensure the combined NASA and Navy team will be able to safely and successfully recover the Orion capsule following its flight for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1) in 2018.

“For me it was a lot of fun being part of the testing because I was onboard this ship when we did the first URT and took the test capsule out to sea in February 2014,” San Diego Commanding Officer Capt. Carl W. Meuser said. “On that trip, these smart folks from NASA were able to collect data and understand the environment much better, and they designed systems accordingly. So it’s been fun for me to see the progression of NASA’s project from the first time we went to sea together, to this very successful testing that we just finished.”

With their main role of conducting amphibious operations, San Antonio-class ships have many unique capabilities that make them an ideal partner to support NASA. The most important capability was the ability to recover the test capsule using the ship’s well deck, which was originally designed to launch and recover amphibious craft. San Diego also has the ability to carry and deploy multiple small boats which aid in the recovery process and contains an advanced medical facility for the returning astronauts.

URT-5 testing consisted of launching the test capsule from the well deck, then carefully maneuvering the ship alongside the capsule at slow speed. Then, divers at-

tached lines from the small boats to steady and guide the capsule toward San Diego, where a NASA-designed winch hauled the capsule into the well deck.

“It’s very challenging; what seems like a basic recovery is anything but,” Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 3 Navy Diver Chief Petty Officer Beau Lontine said. “It’s a very high-risk evolution, especially when the capsule is being towed behind the ship, and that’s where our inputs to the equipment that they’ve designed for this come into play. That’s what we do; we work with rigging and hardware and we do build-up and training to get to the point of recovering the capsule.”

The test allowed NASA and the Navy to continue to demonstrate and evaluate the recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in real, open ocean environment before conducting actual recovery operations for EM-1 and with additional coordination, subsequent exploration missions.

“This was a proof-of-concept URT, which means we were testing hypotheses that we had developed over the last year, along with some prototype hardware,” NASA’s Landing and Recovery Director Melissa Jones said. “I’m happy to say that it was very successful and we have a lot of data going forward to figure out what our next test will be.”

According to Jones, the next test will take place aboard another seasoned NASA recovery ship, USS Anchorage (LPD 23).

Future tests will eventually get NASA and the Navy to arrive at a safe and more efficient way to recover the capsule for the 2021 mission involving a flying crew.

The Orion spacecraft is designed to meet the evolving needs of our nation’s deep space exploration program for decades to come. It will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities.

DOD Warrior Games 2017 website goes live From Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON

The Department of Defense (DOD) Warrior Games 2017 website dedicated to the annual DOD Warrior Games is now up and running.

Hosted by the Department of the Navy (DON), the Games will be held June 30-July 8, 2017, in partnership with the city of Chicago, Illinois.

“We’re very excited to partner with the city of Chicago to host the DOD Warrior Games,” Commander of Navy Installations Command Vice Adm. Dixon Smith said. “Having the website available to inform the public about the Games will help increase awareness. We encourage everyone to mark their calendars to attend to the Games in support of our wounded warrior athletes.”

Smith added this is the first time the Navy has hosted the Games and the first time for the Games to be

held in a public venue since the DOD became involved in hosting the Games in 2010.

The DOD Warrior Games event was created in 2010 as a way to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded warriors and to expose them to adaptive sports.

Each year the Games feature five U.S. teams representing each branch of the armed forces and special operations commands. Teams compete in eight sports including archery, cycling, track and field, sitting volleyball, shooting, swimming, and wheelchair basketball.

The Warrior Games are designed to introduce injured service members and post-9/11 veterans to Paralympics sport competition and to encourage them to stay physically active when they return to their local communities following the event.

The Warrior Games serve as a culminating event for the armed forces adaptive sports program,

America’s familiarization training pays off during F-35B DT-III

CNIC FAP combats sexual assault with training

An F-35B Lightning II aircraft is manned by a Marine Corps test pilot while it is taxied on the flight deck of amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6).

By PO1 John Belanger Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Approximately 170 Navy clinical counselors, family advocacy specialists and managers recently participated in a sexual assault specialized training that was newly developed by Navy Installations Command (NIC).

The training, held at Washington Navy Yard, Oct. 31 – Nov. 4, educates counselors on how to provide services and support to victims of sexual assault. A second course will be held at Naval Station Everett in Everett, Washington, during the week of Nov. 14. The two courses allowed NIC to split 350 professional counselors between two sessions so that regions would be able to maintain sufficient manning while the training was conducted. “The Navy’s Family Advocacy Program is responsible for the planning, development and implementation of training and being able to lay out the framework and expectations in terms of services that we’re developing,� Family Advocacy Program (FAP) Manager for NIC Lolita Allen said. “We want to certify that our clinicians are trained and prepared to provide those case management services required of them.�

With clinical counselors, supervisors and managers from across the Navy’s regions in attendance, the attendees had an opportunity to network and learn from others’ successes. “I think the training has been very worthwhile. There is a lot experience in that room,� FAP Director for Navy Region Japan Angela Perryman said. “Sometimes these clients [sexual assault victim] have challenging issues for us to deal with and when you know that you can reach out to a counterpart in a different region or installation ... that ability to network is great.�

Navy Installations Command is comprised of approximately 52,000 military and civilian personnel worldwide responsible for the operations, maintenance and quality of life programs to support the Navy’s fleet, Sailors and their families.

From USS America Public Affairs PO1 Benjamin Wooddy PACIFIC OCEAN

Amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) successfully completed its fifth day of F-35B Lightning II developmental test (DT-III) with the support of flight deck personnel who received specialized training in Yuma, Arizona, earlier in the month.

Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 1, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211, and Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23 began landing the F-35B aircraft aboard America, Oct. 28, and were received by a fully-trained America flight deck crew.

Prior to beginning flight operations with the F-35B, a group of flight deck aircraft directors and a crash and salvage team assigned to America’s Air Department spent three days at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, with VMFA-22 for familiarization training on the aircraft.

Although the F-35B has been tested in many places and on different Navy platforms, training involving handling of the fifth generation Lightning II is not yet fleet-wide. The amphibious Navy’s only exposure to the aircraft came in 2012 and 2013 aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1).

During the three-day familiarization, F-35B flight deck experts provided training to 16 America Sailors on basic aircraft fundamentals, presented briefs, and held question and answer sessions in handling and crash and salvage techniques. “It was the first time we were able to have eyes on launch, recovery, and taxiing the aircraft,� V-1 Division’s Crash and Salvage Leading Chief Phillip Posada said. “We were able to get familiarized with the aircraft’s tie down points, as well as ordnance and cockpit familiarization to ensure that we are able to take care of it safely and without causing unnecessary damage to the aircraft.�

As the world’s first supersonic short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) stealth aircraft, directing the Lightning II has subtle differences from other aircraft the crew is accustomed to handling. “There is a slight difference in handling the AV-8B [Harrier] and the F-35B,� Posada said. “The Lightning II packs more of a punch when it takes off. Because of that, our handlers know to plant themselves firmly and grab a pad eye if necessary to steady themselves. Another attribute is that it has a sharper turning radius, so we are able to taxi the aircraft easier.�

The crash and salvage team also learned how to implement their firefighting expertise with regard to approaching the aircraft and shutdown procedures. “For all the other aircraft the America embarks, we are taught to approach the aircraft from the starboard side,� Crash and Salvage Division’s Leading Petty Officer 2nd Class Anthony Montoya said. “When it comes to the F-35B, we are taught to approach on the port side so we can initiate shutdown procedures more efficiently.�

After completing the familiarization training, America embarked eight Sailors from USS Essex (LHD 2) to pass on their knowledge and provide them an opportunity to work with the F-35B for the first time. “Because we were able to have the familiarization in Yuma, we were prepared to the point at which working with the aircraft was already second nature to us,� Posada said. “All of our professionals are able to launch, recover, taxi, and work around the Lightning II, and we want to pass our knowledge on to the rest of the fleet to incorporate the F-35 skill set for future operations.�

The America crew seems thrilled to support DT-III, and will continue to approach supporting the program in a safe and pro-

fessional manner throughout the current test phase and upcoming Marine Corps demonstration. “We are all excited to be working with the F-35B,� America’s Handling Officer Lt. Raymond Maturino said. “We are using the same mentality as we would use for any other aircraft when it comes to safety, procedures, leadership, supervision, and redundancy of position. We are also consistently training to ensure that we evolve to meet expectations as the test teams solidify what the capability and requirements for this aircraft will be for us.�

Maturino is proud of America’s aviation team and everyone who has helped make F35B operations a success on the fleet’s most aviation-centric amphibious assault ship. “I could say how awesome my team is, but really all you have to do is look out the window,� Maturino said. “Words can’t describe how proud I am of what they do every day. I’m very proud and think very highly of this team, and I’m not just talking about the team moving aircraft. I’m talking about every facet that makes this possible.�

America began flight operations with the F-35B Lightning II for the first time Oct. 28, and will continue testing until the end of November.

The America class of amphibious assault ship design enables it to carry a larger and more diverse complement of aircraft, including the tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey, the new F-35B Lightning II, and a mix of cargo and assault helicopters. America is able to support a wide spectrum of military operations and missions, including putting Marines ashore for combat operations, launching air strikes, keeping sea lanes free and open for the movement of global commerce, and delivering humanitarian aid following a natural disaster.

Navy presents Fisher House Award to Honor Flight Network

By PO2 Oliver Cole Chief of Naval Operations WASHINGTON

Under Secretary of the Navy Dr. Janine Davidson presented the 2015 Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian Award to Chairman of the Honor Flight Network James McLaughlin and Executive Director of the Honor Flight Network Diane Gresse on behalf of the Honor Flight Network at the Pentagon, District of Columbia, Nov. 7.

The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices by transporting them, accompanied by “guardians� to assist them, to the District of Columbia, to visit and reflect at their memorials. “It’s a very humbling honor to receive this award on behalf of our network,� Gresse said. “We have a lot of faithful volunteers, so we’re not just receiving this on behalf of ourselves, but for our en-

tire network and the countless thousands of volunteer hours they put in every year.�

Representatives from the Honor Flight Network said the network started with offering this opportunity to World War II veterans. It transitioned to veterans of the Korean conflict and Vietnam War. There have even been a few all female flights. The awardees both stated that there are nearly 700,000 living veterans, but suggest there is urgency to expedite flights with every generation. “I’d like the public to realize that we have to hurry to get these veterans transported to see their memorials,�

McLaughlin said. “It’s important for the veterans to be recognized. Time is limited. We have to move quickly.�

In 2015, the Honor Flight Network was able to fly 20,886 veterans and 19,093 guardians to the District of Columbia from all over the U.S. Currently, there are 21,032 people on a waiting list for the program. By the end of

the network’s current flying season in November, it is estimated that more than 180,000 veterans will have seen their memorials. “It’s like they’re strangers on Friday,� Gresse said. “By Saturday morning they are teamed up on the bus headed into D.C. By Saturday night they are in the front of the bus telling one another war stories. And by Sunday, we’re all crying because they don’t want to go home yet. So it’s just a wonderful experience for everyone involved.�

There are 130 hubs across 44 states in the entire network.

The dedication of the men, women and partners of the Honor Flight Network strikes at the heart of what the Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian Award exemplifies.

The award is named in honor of Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher, both of whom contributed extensively to the support and welfare of members of the Armed Forces and their families.

PO2 Oliver Cole Under Secretary of the Navy Dr. Janine Davidson presents the 2015 Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian Award to Chairman of the Honor Flight Network James McLaughlin and Executive Director of the Honor Flight Network Diane Gresse on behalf of the Honor Flight Network at the Pentagon Nov. 7.

“Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher are true patriotic Americans,� Davidson said. “What they’ve done for veterans and families, and wounded warriors; it exemplifies what makes our country great. We all stand up as a family and support the people who serve.�

In 1998, a joint regulation established the award as a mul-

tiservice recognition, demonstrating exceptional patriotism and humanitarian concern for members of the Armed Forces or their families. The recipient must exemplify Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher’s personal qualities of patriotism, generosity and selfless dedication to improving the quality of life of members of the Armed

WATERFIRE Much more SALUTE TO than just art VETERANS

By Lisa Woodbury Rama Naval Station Newport Public Affairs PROVIDENCE, R.I.

U.S. Naval War College President Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harley administered the ceremonial oath of enlistment to nine young men and women, who will be entering the sea services, during the 4th annual WaterFire Salute to Veterans ceremony, Nov. 5, at the State Administration Building, Newport, Rhode Island.

Harley recited this John Paul Jones quote to the enlistees following their enlistment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves.

Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free.

Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me.â&#x20AC;?

WaterFire Providence is an internationally renowned artistic event that combines the lighting of wood fired braziers along the Providence River basin and music.

Harley spoke to over 250 veterans, family members, active duty and soonto-be active duty, and elected officials assembled in the atrium of the Rhode Island Department of Administration Building Saturday.

He was joined in offering remarks by Rhode Island Govenor Gina Raimondo; Director of the Rhode Island Office of Veterans Affairs Kasim Yarn; former Army Cap. and Rhode Island native Craig Mullaney, who is a veteran of Afghanistan, West Point Graduate and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Unforgiving Minuteâ&#x20AC;? and others.

Harley administered the oath to Rhode Island and Massachusetts youth entering the sea services and was followed by Adjutant General and Commanding General of the Rhode Island National Guard Brig.

Gen. Christopher Callahan administering the ceremonial oath to an additional ten enlistees entering the Rhode Island Army and Air National Guard.

In addition to the new recruits, Rhode Island active duty and veterans representing each branch of the military were introduced to the audience.

Representing the Navy was Senior Chief Nathan Bissell, originally from Glocester, Rhode Island, and currently

assigned to the Center for Service Support onboard Naval Station Newport and representing the Marine Corps was Lt. Col. Matthew Palma, a Bristol, Rhode Island, native assigned to Naval War College.

WaterFire Salute to Veterans is organized by a committee of volunteers from veteran organizations; Gold Star families; Naval Station Newport; Rhode Island National Guard; state and federal agencies; non-profit organizations and patriotic citizens.

This event has been growing in attendance annually and this year, with the good fortune of mild temperatures and clear skies, was a record breaker with well over 10,000 gathered throughout the basin area and along the river.

Raimondo, the daughter of a Navy veteran, also took time to focus on the young men and women committing to the military during her remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter how long you serve, the branch you serve in or where you serve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you will always be welcomed home to Rhode Island and we will take care of you.â&#x20AC;?

This annual WaterFire includes the carrying of torches by hundreds of veterans, active duty and their family members in a procession that began at the Rhode Island Statehouse and ended along the basin itself just in time for sunset at 5:45 p.m.

Navy Band Northeast was joined by â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ownâ&#x20AC;? Rhode Island National Guard 88th Army Band for a joint ceremonial concert on center stage while the braziers were lit.

In addition to the ceremony and concert, there were veterans resource tents set up along the river where vets and their families were able to obtain information and register for services and assistance with housing; health care; job searches; federal Veterans Affairs benefits; service animals; information on veterans organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and other fraternal groups and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to make initial contact and register 50 previously unregistered veterans tonight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was huge!â&#x20AC;? Executive Assistant to the Director of the Providence, Rhode Island, Veterans Affairs Medical Center Heather Oberg said.

Stennis Sailors place flags for fallen veterans

By PO2 Jonathan Jiang From USS John C. Stennis Public Affairs BREMERTON, WASH.

Aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Sailors honored veterans buried in Ivy Green Cemetery, Bremerton, Washington, during a community service event, Nov. 6.

Twenty Sailors joined participants from six different groups in placing American flags at the graves of veterans in preparation for Veterans Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had almost 100 people turn out,â&#x20AC;? organizer for the event Petty Officer 1st Class Corey Martin said.

Ivy Green Cemetery is the final resting place of 560 veterans, whose service dates back to the Civil War, and the site of a shared grave for 67 Sailors from the World War II aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV 3).

After completing the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task, the volunteers gathered at the Tomb of the Unknown, a replica of the memorial in Arlington National Cemetery, for a brief history lesson from Marion Hersey, volunteer coordinator for the city of Bremerton and a retired senior chief petty officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out here placing flags for all the veterans,â&#x20AC;? Petty Officer 2nd Class Jacob Loomis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing

Stennis Sailors also participated in a cleanup event at Ivy Green, Nov. 4. More than 20 Sailors joined civilians in raking leaves, scrubbing tombstones, pulling weeds and other activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This whole city was built up around the Navy and I think a lot of people forgot that,â&#x20AC;?

Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually starting to see us as part of the community and that we do care about the community and that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to help.â&#x20AC;?

By Lt. j.g. Emily Wilkin Task Force 73 Public Affairs SINGAPORE

Marc Ayalin Janine Bresnihan reads an excerpt of a victimized military service member’s testemonial on their experience with sexual assault and domestic violence during an event at Navy Region Singapore’s Terror Club, Nov. 4.

| Domestic Violence and SAPR awareness NIGHT

Continued from B1 been touched by domestic violence and sexual assault.”

As the sun set in front of the Region’s Children and Youth Programs building, the group gathered to listen to Commander of Logistics Group Western Pacific (CLWP) and Commander of Task Force 73 (CTF) Rear Adm. Don Gabrielson, and as he shared his thoughts about the importance of taking back the night.

“Everyone deserves to be safe in their neighborhood,” Gabrielson said. “These events symbolize the importance of taking care of each other and creating a culture and environment where no one has to worry as they walk.

Safety is everyone’s business – we can’t take it for granted.

I want to thank everyone involved for doing their part to raise awareness and contribute to making a positive difference in our community.”

Immediately after his speech the participants walked through the military housing community. Each person wore a glow stick with the attached names of victims of sexual assault or domestic violence. The group ended their stroll at the Region’s community facility, the Terror Club, for dinner and to light lanterns as a symbolic

gesture of giving hope and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

As individuals entered the Terror Club, a witness gallery was displayed that featured testimonials of several military service members domestic abuse and sexual assault experiences.

For one service member participating in the event, this was an impactful night.

“I participated because I feel strongly about the victims around the world who are suffering,” Administrative Leading Chief for CLWP Chief Erik Estrada said. “More importantly, tonight’s event symbolizes giving empowerment to those silent victims in the community and throughout the world.”

Lastly, Bennett emphasized that this is important not only for the Navy as a whole but for the local population here in Sembawang, Singapore.

“Our message to the Sembawang community is to promote awareness of the resources available to everyone here, including supports on our installation and referrals to resources out in the community,” Bennet said. “We want to promote an environment that creates open and honest discussion, enhances safety, and supports healing.”

Pacific partnership staff and partner nation representatives met in Singapore, Nov. 8-10, for a planning conference to finalize details for the upcoming mission, slated for the spring of 2017.

In its 12th year, Pacific Partnership is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific. This year’s mission will be led by Deputy Commodore of Riverine Group (CRG) 1 Capt. Stan Chien, embarked on the Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Fall River (TEPF-4), and will include more than 200 military and civilian personnel from the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Chile, Singapore and South Korea.

CONTEST

“This planning conference affords us the opportunity to build relationships with our partner nations that are critical to our success with the upcoming mission,” Chien said. “Pacific Partnership allows us to establish, in some cases, and further develop, in other cases, multilateral cooperation with allied and partner nations.

We look forward to continuing to work with them during the coming months.”

Created in response to the devastation wrought by the 2004 tsunami that swept through parts of Southeast Asia, Pacific Partnership began as a military-led humanitarian response to one of the world’s most catastrophic natural disasters.

The mission has evolved over the years from primarily a direct care mission to an operation focused on enhancing partnerships through host nation subject matter expert and civilmilitary exchanges. Pacific Partner-

ship also capitalizes on multilateral cooperation and partnerships between government and non-government organizations to increase capabilities in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and preparedness for natural and man-made disasters.

“It has been an extremely positive experience collaborating and planning with our partner nations,” country lead for the mission in Malaysia Army Capt. John Burns said. “By once again participating in Pacific Partnership we are demonstrating our commitment and continued presence in this region.”

Pacific Partnership 2017 will include mission stops in four partner nations throughout the Indo-AsiaPacific region. The partner nations will be announced before the mission begins in March.

Former Navy SEAL to highlight Transgender Day of Remembrance Press Release The LGBT Center of Hampton Roads NORFOLK

ACCESS AIDS Care and The LGBT Center of Hampton Roads are proud to announce a stellar roster of speakers to commemorate the international Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) 2016 on Nov. 20, at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton. Former Navy SEAL Kristin Beck will serve as the event’s keynote speaker. Gloucester high school student Gavin Grimm and Toni-Michelle Williams, Norfolk native and Atlanta-based activist are also slated to speak.

The civil rights of transgender and gender non-conforming citizens have been at the forefront of national political and social debate as progress toward greater acceptance is met with challenges. Recently, transgender members of the military are now allowed to serve openly and receive medical care. Concurrently, the elemental right to choose which restroom to use that corresponds to one’s gender identity is being challenged nationwide. These issues and ongoing violence against members of the transgender community highlight the importance for events such as TDOR. ACCESS AIDS Care and The LGBT Center of Hampton Roads hosts this annual event to not only memorialize members of the transgender community lost to anti-transgender violence in the past year, but to promote greater acceptance and raise visibility about issues facing members of the transgender and gender non-conforming communities.

“Persons who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming are often the less visible within the LGBT community, are frequently the recipients of the harshest discrimination and are often victims of violence,” Director of The LGBT Center

of Hampton Roads Mary Aab said. “Our Center is here to support them and walk with them on their journey and TDOR is an event that honors and recognizes these individuals in our community.”

The keynote speaker at the event is decorated former U.S. Navy SEAL Kristin Beck. Beck garnered nationwide attention in 2013 when she came out as the first openly transgender Navy SEAL and published her memoir, “Warrior Princess: A U.S. Navy SEAL’s Journey to Coming out Transgender,” detailing her experiences.

Beck is also a sought out speaker and subject of the 2014 CNN documentary, “Lady Valor: The Kristin Beck Story.”

Gavin Grimm, the 17-year-old transgender male student who made headlines this year after suing the Gloucester County schools over its restroom use policy and who was recently named to Time Magazine’s list of most influential teens for 2016 will also address attendees. Rounding out the speaker roster will be Norfolk native Toni-Michelle Williams, advocate for black transgender justice and Leadership Development and Programs Coordinator for SNaP Co- The Solutions Not Punishment Coalition based in Atlanta, GA. The 2016 TDOR event will take place, Nov. 20, 2-6 p.m., at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, located at 1610 Coliseum Drive in Hampton, VA in conference rooms A-D. This event is free and open to the public.

ACCESS AIDS Care is dedicated to promoting the health and dignity of those individuals and families impacted by HIV/ AIDS, offering medical care management, supportive housing program, prevention and education services, transportation services and clinical mental health services.

ACCESS AIDS Care also operates Hampton Roads’ only LGBT Center, providing a safe space, resources, education and support to the entire LGBT community.

“A triumph of the spirit!” said The Australian.

The UK Guardian followed with, “An incredibly rich and affecting story!”

The National Tour of Annie, is now in its third smash year and although it is directed by original lyricist and director Martin Charnin for the 19th time, this production of Annie is a brand new incarnation of the iconic Tony Award-winning original.

Along with Mr. Charnin, Thomas Meehan who wrote the book, and Charles Strouse who wrote the music, all three have received the 1977 Tony Awards for their work.

The beloved score for Annie is unforgettable and it includes such classics as: “Maybe,” “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” and the eternal anthem of optimism, “Tomorrow.”

Liza Gennaro’s choreography is vibrant and she has incorporated selections from her father Peter Gennaro’s 1977 Tony Award-winning

Admission to all movies is only $3 per person at both Aerotheater and Gator Theater. Children ages two and younger are admitted free. Patrons 17 years of age or younger must be accompanied by a paying adult to attend all R rated movies. Doors open approximately one hour before showtimes. Both theaters are now accepting credit cards for admission and snacks.

Annie’s design team is just as celebrated. The scenic design is by Tony Award winner Beowulf Boritt, with costume design by Costume Designer’s Guild Award winner Suzy Benzinger. Lighting design is by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, and sound design by Tony Award nominee Peter Hylenski.

This production features a 25-member company with the title role of Annie played by Tori Bates, making her tour debut at the tender age of 11.

Also starring in the tour are Erin Fish as Miss Hannigan, Casey Prins as Grace, Michael Santora as Rooster, Mallory King as lily, Jeffrey B. Duncan as FDR (Franklin D. Roosevelt) and the lovable Sandy, played by the rescue terrier mixes Sunny and Macy.

The orphans are: Bunny Baldwin as Molly, Jacqueline Galvano as July, Ava Slater as Kate, Amanda Swickle as Pepper, Amanda Wylie as Tessie

and Katie Wylie as Duffy.

The original production of Annie opened, April 21, 1977, at the Alvin Theatre, New York, New York, and went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, seven Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Cast Show Album and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Logano punches Championship Round ticket with late surge Sunday at Phoenix

Sports

A 1-2 finish by Joey Logano (22) and Kyle Busch (18) was good enough to advance both drivers to the Chase finale at Homestead next Sunday.

Courtesy of NASCAR

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick AVONDALE, ARIZ.

Joey Logano, knocked out of a chance to compete for the 2015 Sprint Cup championship because of a crash with Matt Kenseth at Martinsville, will race for the title this year after winning a race at Phoenix on Sunday that, ironically, saw Kenseth eliminated due to a crash.

Kenseth had taken the lead late in the CanAm 500 after taking just two tires on his final pit stop. He was well ahead of second-running Alex Bowman when a crash by Michael McDowell set up an overtime finish.

On the first restart, Kenseth took the initial lead, while Bowman, driving the No. 88 in place of Dale Earnhardt Jr., didn’t get up to speed immediately.

Then, as Kenseth entered Turn One in the lead, he pulled to the bottom of the track and made contact with Bowman, who had recovered and was coming fast on the inside

groove. Kenseth spun out of contention for a Chase berth, and Logano inherited the lead.

Logano then motored away from fellow Chase driver Kyle Busch to get the win, while Busch held on for second place to secure the fourth and final spot on points in next Sunday’s Championship Round at HomesteadMiami Speedway. The highest finisher among the Championship 4 drivers – Logano, Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards – will be the 2016 Sprint Cup champion.

Johnson, Edwards and Logano advanced because of their wins in the Round of 8, and Logano said his victory on Sunday was as big or bigger than any of his 16 previous Cup victories.

“This isn’t just a race,” Logano said. “This is a championship.”

“We raced [Phoenix] like it was Homestead because we had to, and what an amazing feeling to be able to succeed under that amount of pressure and to have a race team that is truly better under pressure.”

“I couldn’t be more proud of that, and to

have the opportunity to have the pressure on us.”

Logano said his Phoenix win puts him in a good frame of mind heading into Homestead, unlike in 2014, when he left Phoenix feeling nervous about the finale.

“This is not that feeling,” Logano said. “This is that feeling that ‘Hey, we’ve got confidence.

I know we can do it.’ ... I don’t feel like it’s a long shot like it was last time. It was my first time there, I’m racing for a championship. ‘Oh my God, what’s going to happen?’ This time I feel like we’ve been here before.”

Among those who won’t be there for the championship round are Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin, all of whom failed to advance despite finishing in the top seven at Phoenix.

Sunday’s race also was a showcase of the talents of the 23-year-old Bowman, who started on the pole and led a race-high 194 laps before fading to sixth at the finish after the contact with Kenseth.

Bowman, who has spent most of his

time in the Cup series driving back-marker cars, said there’s a big difference in what he’s been driving and a top-flight car like the No. 88.

“I think I’ve had four Cup races [at Phoenix], and I don’t even know if I’ve finished inside the top 30 in any of them,” Bowman said. “Then I came here with Hendrick Motorsports and led almost 200 laps.”

“There are a lot of guys in the garage that can get the job done and run up front; they just don’t get the opportunity to show it.”

“I’m just thankful that I was given the opportunity to show it [Sunday]. Our race car was really good all day. Best car on long runs by far. It was just a lot of fun.”

So far, Bowman has no firm plans for 2017.

“I’m still waiting for the right opportunity to come along,” Bowman said in a media session prior to Sunday’s race. “There’s nothing that has really fit that has come along. I’ll still probably have my day job at Hendrick Motorsports driving the simulator.”

“We’ll go from there.”
