An inspiration to us all VETERANS AND WOUNDED WARRIORS Navy Chief Jeannette Tarqueno, an athlete with Team Navy, prepares to dive into a pool during a swimming competition inside Arvin Gym at the U.S. Military Academy located in West Point, New York, as part of the 2016 Department of Defense Warrior Games.

The Warrior Games is an annual Paralympic-type event where wounded veterans from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Special Operations Command and the United Kingdom Armed Forces compete for medals in eight different sports.

This past weekend, I had the distinct privilege of representing our Navy in the city of Chicago for Veterans Day. This was my first opportunity to really take in all that the city has to offer, and it is clear to me that the decision to host the 2017 Department of Defense (DOD) Warrior Games there next summer was the right choice.

Throughout the day, I met with veterans, city officials, business leaders and local news media representatives, where I found the energy and enthusiasm to be truly inspiring. Equally energizing was the opportunity to discuss the 2017 Warrior Games at Veterans Day events at the historic Navy Pier and Soldier Field. I had the opportunity to conduct several media engagements, both television and radio, where my goal was to ensure the citizens of Chicago knew when and where to be to support our wounded heroes during the event next summer.

One wounded warrior I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know over the past few months, A.J. Mohammed, attended the events.

Every time I speak with him I’m reminded of how important the Wounded Warrior program and the DOD Warrior Games truly are.

Following his tour of duty in Iraq in 2004, he returned home visually impaired. Integrating back into society was a challenge and doing anything in public became difficult, to the point where he never left the house. Several individuals reached out to let him know of the Navy’s wounded warrior and adaptive sports programs, and dedicated their time to help A.J. get back on » See VETS | A7

Navy Region MidAtlantic announces Installation Excellence Award recipients

EODMU 2 Sailors visit Newport News school for Veterans Day

From Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

Commander of Navy Region Mid-Atlantic (CNRMA) recently announced the 2017 Installation Excellence Award recipients in Norfolk.

By PO2 Charles Oki Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2 Public Affairs NEWPORT NEWS

Sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Mobile Unit (MU) 2 took part in a Veterans Day community relations event at St. Andrews Episcopal School in Newport News, Nov. 11.

Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen from commands in the Hampton Roads area took part in the event, which was created to provide students ranging from kindergarten to 5th grade the chance to meet military members in their community.

“We feel that it’s important for the students to understand that service members are normal everyday people and that they are their friends and neighbors,” member of St. Andrew’s parents’ association Liz Chandler said. “Despite the concentration of military members in the area, lots of our students don’t have any direct connection with the military, so it gives them the chance to understand how important service members are to the community.”

During the event, the Sailors demonstrated the uses of the PackBot Transportable EOD robot for the students while also talking about the mission of Navy EOD. The students also had an opportunity to interact with the robots by learning how to drive them, looking through the heads up display, and playing with the manipulator arm.

“Students always love playing with the

robots,” Petty Officer 1st Class David Smith said. “The best part of events like this is when the students walk into the room for the first time and see the robots. Their faces always light up and they usually have all kinds of questions about it. I really enjoy that aspect because I like to think we give them good memories of the Navy and of their time in school.”

EODMU 2 is assigned to EOD Group 2, headquartered at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. EOD Group 2 oversees all East Coast-based Navy EOD mobile units, including one forward deployed mobile unit in Spain, as well as EOD Expeditionary Support Unit 2, EOD Training and Evaluation Unit 2, and the only East Coast-based mobile diving and salvage unit (MDSU), MDSU 2.

Port Chicago survivor provides perspective to Veterans Day ceremony

By Michael Vernon Voss Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Public Affairs YORKTOWN

Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown Sailors, including WPNSTA Yorktown Executive Officer Lt. Cmdr.

Christian Dillard and Command Master Chief Petty Officer Lee Friedlander, joined more than 400 local Soldiers, Marines and government officials in recognizing local veterans at the Hampton Virginia Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital, 10 Nov. As the fourth oldest facility in the Veterans Administration, the Hampton VA Hospital cares for survivors of every U.S. military conflict, and each year, the Veterans Day ceremony honors those who served in the armed forces.

According to hospital staff, the annual event is special, but not because of the pomp and circumstance, or even the elected officials who attend, but because of the stories shared by those who have paid a heavy price in the name of freedom.

This year’s impromptu speaker Seaman William

Tucker stole the show as he shared stories from his experience at Concord Naval Weapons Station in California. Tucker, a World War II Veteran, was assigned in the early 1940s to the World War II armament storage depot and loading port located on an arm of the San Francisco Bay named Port Chicago.

While, Tucker’s story of serving in a newly desegregated Navy would be enough to fill any 10 minute speaking block, it was his account of the Port Chicago Disaster that brought Veterans Day into perspective and tears to the crowd.

On the evening of July 17, 1944, the 1,400 black enlisted men, 71 officers, 106 marine guards, and 230 civilian employees assigned to Port Chicago were changed forever by a massive explosion that could be felt 30 miles away.

“In that instant those of us who survived lost 360 friends who we served with every day,” Tucker recalled. “That’s a pain that no one should have to bear.”

As was common in World War II, the men of Port Chicago worked around the

clock, moving ammunition by hand trucks and rolling larger bombs down a ramp from boxcars to cargo netting spread out on the pier where it would be loaded into ships assigned to the Pacific Fleet.

“The working conditions were hard during those days,” Tucker said. “We were under a lot of pressure; pressure from the war and even self-imposed pressure. As part of a racially segregated unit, we felt we had to live up to the pressure of our community as well.”

The Port Chicago explosion resulted in the largest number of casualties among African Americans in any one incident during World War II. The blast was so powerful, that in addition to killing the 320 sailors, merchant seamen and civilians working at the pier, it injured many of the townspeople. Though no cause for the explosion was ever determined, it changed the way the Navy handled ordnance forever.

According to Tucker, change doesn’t come easy. In the months that followed the explosion, many of the survivors in Tucker’s unit were charged with mutiny after

Local car dealership placed offlimits to all service members From Navy Region MidAtlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

Commander of Navy Region Mid-Atlantic placed the Virginia Beach car dealership US Auto Excellence, 3336 Holland Road, on the off-limits list to all Hampton Roads service members, Nov. 16, due to the establishment’s participation in unfair business practices and an illegal business practice known as bird-dogging. This decision comes as a result of recommendations from the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board (AFDCB) for Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina, who convened on Nov. 7.

Bird-dogging occurs when someone refers a prospective customer to a particular dealership or salesman for a given fee or compensation. According to Virginia Law, only salespersons licensed to a dealership can assist customers with a purchase of a vehicle.

The establishment will remain on the off-limits list until the next scheduled

meeting of the AFDCB, at which time the board will reconsider the status of each business currently on the list.

The AFDCB works closely with businesses that are being considered for the off-limits list to avoid these actions.

Mitigation efforts demonstrated by area businesses, and communication to the board by the businesses, often have favorable results.

Establishments are given an opportunity to notify the AFDCB in writing that corrective actions have occurred. Removal from the list will be considered by the board upon presentation that satisfactory corrective actions have been taken. Failure to respond will result in the board making a request for establishment representatives to appear in person at a formal hearing of the AFDCB. The safety and security of all service members is a priority for the Department of Defense. The AFDCB is an investigative committee composed of members from each military service in the Hampton Roads area, as well and civilian advis-

refusing to return to loading bombs out of fear.

“They were not honored.

They were court-martialed,” Tucker said. “It took until President Clinton pardoned them before their honor was restored, but by then some of the survivors had passed away.

That’s the reason I share this story with you today. They are not here to tell their stories.”

Although the program continued as the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Band assigned to Joint Base Langley Eustis played the Service songs, Tucker’s story of Port Chicago haunted those in attendance.

“Each year, on Nov. 11, we formally honor the service and sacrifice of more than 20 million American veterans,” Dillard said. “As with Mr. Tucker and those who served in Port Chicago, our veterans represent the best of America, and [Weapons Station] Yorktown is honored to be a part of recognizing these heroes.”

Guest Speaker Mayor of the City of Hampton Donnie Tuck explained as a military spouse he understands and admires the comradery service members and veterans experience.

ers, who work with local law enforcement agencies and local businesses to identify conditions which may adversely affect the health, safety, welfare, and discipline of the armed forces.

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA Naval Air Station Oceana Sailors and leadership participate in a volleyball game against teachers at Seatack Elementary School – An Achievable Dream Academy.

An Achievable Dream is a nonprofit organization that was designed to offer children a quality education in a nurturing environment regardless of their socioeconomic background.

Making dreams achievable

By PO2 Jacob S. Richardson Naval Air Station Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana Sailors and leadership participated in a volleyball game against Seatack Elementary School Teachers on Nov. 14.

Seatack Elementary, an Achievable Dream Academy, partners and organizes many events with Hampton Roads military and first responders, getting the local community involved in the lives and education of the students.

An Achievable Dream is a nonprofit organization that was designed to offer children a quality education in a nurturing environment, the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with caring adults, and the chance to take part in engaging enrichment activities during both the academic day and outside of school hours.

“An Achievable Dream prides itself on its many years of partnerships with the leadership and Sailors from NAS Oceana, the leadership and soldiers from Fort Eustis, the Virginia Beach Police and department, and the Newport News Police and Sheriff’s departments with our schools,” An Achievable Dream President Kathy Edwards said.

“These Sailors, soldiers, and first responders are always present at our schools where they form relationships with all of our students and personally model the lifelong benefits of mutual respect.”

An Achievable Dream currently has partnerships with Newport News Public Schools for a K-5 school at An Achievable Dream Academy and An Achievable Dream Middle & High School, with grades 6 through 12, as well as with Virginia Beach Public Schools

PO2 Jacob S. Richardson

for a K-5 school at Seatack Elementary – An Achievable Dream Academy.

“Through unique public and private partnerships with school districts an Achievable Dream is making a difference in the lives of children, operating K-12 schools dedicated to the belief that all children can learn and succeed, regardless of their socio-economic background,” Edwards said. “It is our mission to motivate and help children of poverty to excel academically, to instill respect for themselves and adult leaders, and to teach core human values.”

Edwards says that throughout the years, many military leaders have recognized the importance of their partnership with An Achievable Dream, saying that military leadership and teachers are in the same business – developing young people to be productive citizens who serve our communities and our country.

“Many of the service members we work with and volunteer their time with us come

from the same socio-economic backgrounds that our students do,” Edwards said. “By putting our service men and women in the role of mentors and leaders they absorb the same character education lessons that our students are learning by being involved.”

“The children here have the opportunity to receive social skills at an early age that they will use for the rest of their lives; everything from using appropriate language and proper etiquette to interacting with adults from diverse backgrounds, forming real friendships, and bonding with fellow students,” Seatack Elementary School Principle Vincent Darby Sr. said. “The funding we receive allows us to expose them to valuable real life experiences, like seeing a theatrical production for the first time, and the participation of the community and local military helps solidify the life lessons they learn, produces goals for them to follow and gives them the drive to shine.”

Darby says that participation from com-

munity members, local military and first responders gives the students valuable social interaction they might not receive otherwise.

“They get to see, shake hands with, and talk to adults every day, forming the idea of what they might want for themselves when they grow up,” Darby said. “They see a direct correlation between hard work, selfworth, and respecting others and the bright futures and careers available to them when they get older.”

“By personally relating to and interacting with the military personnel present in our schools every day, our students get the amazing benefit of seeing reinforcement of the similar core values that An Achievable Dream and the military teach of self-respect, respect for others and personal responsibility to always do the right thing,” Edwards said. “When you see the faces of our children and Sailors and soldiers when they are working and playing together, you witness the difference it makes in all of their lives.”

Retired Master Chief Linda “Sunny” Fox runs during a Wounded Warrior 5-kilometer Marathon at Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads. Sunny, a cancer survivor, is on a bucket list quest to complete 1,000 marathons and this race marks number 897.

She continues her talks, she is excited to share involvement in the military her story. Her face brightens after retirement by working up and her smile shines like with the Maury High School the sun. Her house is full of Junior ROTC, Norfolk, for the last 12 years.

In 2006, her life took a turn. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer one year after her husband was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, and they were often at the hospital at the same time going through treatments.

“When I was first told I had cancer, I wondered if I could run again or do sports,” Sunny said. “Would my life change?”

Sunny was told if she was going to have cancer, thyroid PO3 Christopher Gaines cancer is the most curable, so Retired Master Chief Linda “Sunny” Fox poses for a picture after she took that as good news completing a Wounded Warrior 5-kilometer Marathon at Naval and ran with it.

to let the diagnosis stop her.

“I think right after I was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, I must have fallen on my head and said, ‘I’m going to run 1,000 races before I kick the bucket,’” Sunny said. “I had probably almost 100 races when I said ‘I’m going to do this,’ not realizing how many miles a thousand races equates to or how expensive it is, either.”

Sunny beat cancer within two years of being diagnosed, and she still keeps running strong. She continues to run in every race she is capable of competing in.

To her, giving back to the community is the most important part of running these races. She said pushing people who can’t walk or talk

and trying to get a little smile out of them is very rewarding, and is a big part of why she continues to run. Her former neighbor’s son, Hunter, 20, has brain cancer and wasn’t given very long to live.

Whenever she gets a chance, she brings Hunter to the races, bundles him up in warm clothes during the cold weather, and pushes him in a racing chair from the beginning to end.

“My quality of life, even after cancer, it’s not great,” Sunny said. “I’ll never be 100 percent, but I’m still 20 times more capable or able than they are, and I’ve got to be thankful for that. I’m thankful that I can still run, drive, and go help people. I’ve still got leadership left in me that I

can teach JROTC cadets; I’m thankful that I can still do it.”

She said since the Navy trained her to be a chief and gave her all the leadership experience that comes with it, she couldn’t just stop after retirement.

“A chief is a chief is a chief,” Sunny said. “If you can do something, then do something to help others.

Giving back to the community should be one of your top priorities. If I’m able, I’m going to keep on keeping on.”

Sunny has completed 897 races so far, and is well on her way to completing 1,000 races before the end of 2017.

NRMA | Installation Excellence Awards Continued from 1 The installations were judged in 13 categories which include: mission support, energy initiatives, quality of life, unit morale, environmental initiatives, property asset management and stewardship, communications, safety and health, security, awards and public relations.

In the large installation category, Commanding Officer Capt. James D. Hawkins was recognized for Naval Station (NS) Great Lakes’ efforts. NS Great Lakes stood out for its efforts in

environmental initiatives, reducing energy costs by more than $12 million per year and lead the way in property stewardship which included: sustainment, restoration and modernization projects.

In the small installation category, Commanding Officer Capt.

Rudy Geisler was recognized for Naval Support Activity (NSA) Mechanicsburg’s efforts. NSA Mechanicsburg was a leader in communications, creating and implementing several programs to keep installation employees informed of base operations, and developed outreach events to

explain the Navy mission in the community.

“I am proud to congratulate each of these installations for winning the Mid-Atlantic Region’s 2017 Installation Excellence Award,” CNRMA Rear Adm. Jack Scorby said. “Competition this year was fierce, and each large and small installation nomination package was impressive and spoke to the many great accomplishments their teams achieved.”

Scorby also praised each of this year’s installation nominees, noting their hard work and outstanding accomplishments

throughout the year.

NS Great Lakes and NSA Mechanicsburg will go on to compete in the 2017 Commander, Navy Installations Command Installation Excellence Awards, which will recognize the top three large and small installations worldwide.

“These dedicated installations echoed our commitment in support of the fleet, the fighter, and their families,” Scorby said.

“Their mission goes on day in and day out, without pause, and they do so tirelessly with great success.”

LINCOLN SAILORS PARTICIPATE IN VETERANS DAY COMREL

By SN Cody Anderson USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs NEWPORT NEWS

More than 150 Sailors from aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) participated in a Veterans Day community relations (COMREL) event, Nov. 11, at five elementary schools in the Newport News area.

The event, which reached more than 2,000 students, was an opportunity for the Sailors to talk to the students about the importance of Veterans Day as well as answer questions about Navy life and the military.

“It’s the perfect day for us to get out, in uniform, and teach the kids about our life on the ship,” event coordinator Chief Petty Officer Shawn Wingle said. “It’s a way for us to give back to the community and pay it forward to the veterans who have come before us.”

As the students normally only read or hear about the Navy, it

was beneficial for them to participate in an engagement event with the Sailors, believes Ethel Francis, the principal at George J. McIntosh Elementary, one of the five schools Sailors visited.

The visit was a welcome break for the students who took the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and experience of the Sailors by asking questions about flight operations, weapons, living conditions and entertainment opportunities aboard an aircraft carrier.

“It helped them make a connection to those who are serving,” Francis said. “Having Sailors, some who are very young themselves, come and talk to the kids gives them someone to look up to.”

“At the end of each class visit, there always seemed to be that one student who wanted a hug,” Chief Petty Officer Amy Kirk said. “After that one, all the children would start rushing forward to give a goodbye hug and, as always, asking to try on

our covers. It is amazing the questions they ask, everything from what type of weapons do we have to if we have electricity. It’s refreshing to see the world of the Navy from their perspective.”

Sailors walked from the class rooms with huge grins and promises to return soon.

“It was really inspiring,” Seaman Kelsey Hamy said. “I thought we were there to inspire them but it was the opposite.”

VETS | A letter from CNIC Vice Adm. Dixon Smith Continued from A1 his feet. The commitment of friends and family to help him find his way, combined with the ability to participate in adaptive sports, as he put it, ‘saved’ him. He will be one of the many warriors to compete for a spot on the Navy team next summer.

These wounded warriors will showcase their athletic prowess at several key Chicago landmarks next summer, including Soldier Field, McCormick Place Convention Center, the United Center, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Lane Tech Academy. Plans are well underway and we are

committed to providing an awesome and rewarding experience for the athletes and their families.

Members of the public from far and wide are encouraged to attend the Games to see and get to know these inspiring athletes who have given so much on our behalf. Their stories will leave you in awe, and they deserve our utmost respect.

In order to host the most rewarding experience possible for our athletes and their families, we must work together with many partners. Just this last week, we received word that Boeing and Fisher House Foundation will be our presenting sponsors, which is

great news. Without them, the games would not be possible.

The DOD Warrior Games will be held June 30 through July 8, 2017, and information about the event is available now on our website: www.dodwarriorgames.com/. We’ll continue to update information there as plans solidify.

In closing, as we head into the holiday season and give thanks for the many blessings we have, please take a moment to remember our veterans and wounded warriors for the sacrifices they have made on behalf of our nation, today and every day. They are an inspiration to us all.

Fleet Forces speaks at Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce VIRGINIA BEACH

PO2 Michael Fiorillo Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command Adm. Phil Davidson speaks to the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. Davidson was the featured guest speaker during the 2016 Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce Leadership Series where he discussed the benefits and economic footprint of the large naval presence in the Hampton Roads area.

Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command Adm. Phil Davidson spoke to members of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce about the economic impact and connection the naval presence has in the community at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Nov. 9.

During the luncheon, nearly 60 active-duty and local business leaders participated in the discussion on the Navy’s presence in the local community and how it supports the economy, including providing shipyards and their employees’ contract work.

“I have to tell you how important the community is to your Navy and the partnership that

engenders,” Davidson said. “I see the ship builders and repairers repeatedly, and the stuff they do is absolutely genius. I am very grateful for their enthusiasm and professionalism.”

Davidson also spoke about the reach the Navy has in the local area.

“The Navy has a very large footprint here,” Davidson said.

“There are five major naval bases in Hampton Roads; seven civilian-owned shipyards ... out of 272 deployable ships in the Navy worldwide, 65 are homeported here. That Navy footprint spans all five of the cities in this area.

By PO2 Michael Fiorillo U.S. Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs

In all, it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise here.”

Davidson also touched on the ongoing discussion with Congress about the funding necessary to achieve and train for mission readiness.

“We’re on a continuing resolution from the Congress,” Davidson said. “It requires us to keep a close hand on the throttle for what we are expending. But when you’re the guys that shoot a missile with a missile in space or you are patrolling the deepest parts of the ocean, it isn’t something we can contract out. It’s something only we can do, and we have to be

able to train to do that.”

Following his remarks, Davidson answered questions from the audience which included questions on the environmental impact of an expanding naval infrastructure.

“I’m quite proud to be a part of the excellent stewardship over the last 30 years in studying and preserving the environment in these areas,” Davidson said.

U.S. Fleet Forces Command is responsible for making the fleet ready to fight and win, both today and in the future. The command works to organize, train, and equip for prompt and sustained combat operations.

FTLO | Primary point

of contact for fleet training officers, school coordinators Continued from A1 with questions regarding requirements, schools availability, class convening’s, and training facility locations can contact the FTLO at TSCHRFLEETLO@navy. mil or Glenn Merson, TSCHR FTLO, at glenn.merson1@navy.mil, 492-7993.

“Our FTLO office does a great job of being proactive to support the waterfront,” TSCHR Executive Officer Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Leveque said. “We take the ships that are upcoming deployers and drill down on their readiness to find out where they need help. Not stopping there, we assign quotas to courses where they are deficient, to ensure they are getting underway as close to 100 percent on critical and essential [course identification numbers] and [Navy Enlisted Classification Codes]. We then work with the ships to fill those quotas with names.”

“FTLO staff members are working in partnership with the staff at Commander, Naval Surface Forces Atlantic, [and] the TSCHR FTLO will coordinate with fleet units to assign the daily quotas based on operational schedules, type command prioritization, and training deficiencies,” Merson said.

“Through closer coordination with the fleet and a more proactive direct management of available training, the benefits of this process are that it provides a speedy solution to remedy training shortfalls within existing resources by ensuring fleet training readiness improves and course utilization is maximized,” Leveque said.

FTLO is comprised of both military and civilian personnel who keep the training officers abreast of any changes which affect their community by holding training, seminars, and sending out informative messages with need-to-know quota availabilities, emergent requirements, and valuable contact information.

Working hand-in-hand with FTLO is the Central Quota Control (CQC) office.

CQC is the primary point of contact for managing training requirements and quotas for fleet units on the east coast.

In order to increase the production capacity of CQC, staff members recently realigned to handle more critical functions and to absorb additional quota control duties from the NETC learning sites. The FTLO and CQC team now provides Atlantic Fleet units with a one-stop shopping site to address quota requirements.

“CQC continues to maximize training opportunities for more than 1600+ courses of instruction for which TSCHR is the quota control authority,” TSCHR CQC Manager Melva Moore said. “CQC successfully created training opportunities for over 139,637 students through [Enterprise Navy Training Reservation System] and handled over 22,325 transactions through emails, Standard Training Activity Support System, walk-ins and calls in [fiscal year] 2016. Quotas are requested by enterprise Naval Training Reservation System, and being allocated and confirmed within 24-48 hours of submission to CQC. Quota requests are still being accepted via email and fax mainly because the requester may have network connectivity issues, system downtime, and/or upgrades to [Enterprise Navy Training Reservation System].”

For additional help, contact the CQC office at 492-5335 or tschrquotas@navy. mil.

“Much of this success is with the help of Afloat Training Group Norfolk,” Leveque said. “TSCHR FTLO and [Afloat Training Group] teamed up to ensure training officers are being taught to take full advantage of [Enterprise Navy Training Reservation System] to requisition quotas.”

Command training officers are highly encouraged to attend class at Afloat Training Group upon assignment to duty as a training officer, as well as individual one-on-onea training with the FTLO staff to receive instruction on command requirements and tracking programs such as the Fleet Training Management and Planning System that will identify all critical and essential NEC requirements, and all current and future deficiencies in any particular training area, along with Enterprise Navy Training Reservation System (eNTRS) training.

“When training officers or school coordinators are unable to obtain their training quotas using eNTRS, they can contact FTLO for assistance,” Merson said.

“Often, managing training requirements can be frustrating; requirements are not always specific to a particular platform.

FTLO will assist with any questions regarding command requirements, available schools, class convenings or unique situations.”

Bush Sailors give back during namesake visit

By SN Joseph Boggio USS George H.W. Bush Public Affairs COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

Sailors assigned to aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) spent time giving back in a local Texas community during a recent namesake visit, Nov. 11.

Bush’s 2016 Sailors of the Year began the visit with volunteer work at a Habitat for Humanity build site by smoothing out the foundation of a house in preparation for laying tile, and by loading and unloading the walls of other homes at various build sites.

“The little things are important in house building; if we didn’t smooth the floor or help move the walls for the homes, then it slows down or ruins the work needed to be done,” Bush Sailor of the Year Petty Officer 1st Class Joanna Waugh said.

“Just like in the Navy, we have to remember that all of the little things add up into something much larger and better.”

Sailors spent the morning volunteering with Texas A&M University students, and spoke to them about life in the Navy and why they were in Texas doing community service.

“I never knew the Navy did things like this,” a senior at Texas A&M Stephanie Heydt said. “It’s cool to think that they do work for the community both in and out of their work.”

It was an “all hands on deck” project as Bush Command Master Chief Huben Phillips also helped to lift and transport wall pieces and swab the deck to prepare the home for the owner to move in.

“It’s ‘freedom at work,’” Phillips said. “That’s why we get involved and pay it forward to make the world better.”

Thankful for those who have gone before us

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

Thanksgiving is the day when family and loved ones gather together, enjoy a meal, and give thanks for making it through another year. Whether it’s getting a new job or having a baby, people find many blessings to be thankful for.

It is appropriate Veterans Day is observed during the same month as Thanksgiving.

The service and sacrifice of veterans who have served has earned the gratitude and respect of many, including those who serve in the military today.

Sailors of aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) are thankful for the men and women who have previously served. They know they wouldn’t be where they are today without the standards and traditions set by veterans.

“I feel that our veterans have helped us to be where we are today,” Bush Senior Sailor of the Year Petty Officer 1st Class Joanna Waugh said. “Having an opportunity to support and continue their vision really means a lot to me.”

Bush Petty Officer of the Year, Petty Officer 3rd Class Raylene Rodriguez, looks to the ship’s namesake as an emblematic veteran.

Chief Jen Blake

“It’s both an honor and a privilege to be aboard a ship named after a Navy veteran who is still alive,” Rodriguez said. “I feel the ship and its crew are the continuation of his legacy, and a starting point for many of our own.”

Waugh also feels honored to serve aboard Bush, the only Navy aircraft carrier with a living namesake.

“Anybody can read through articles or watch documentaries about President George H.W. Bush and his career, but it’s another thing entirely to serve aboard an embodiment of said career,” Waugh said. “He did it all, and the resiliency that he showed throughout his entire naval career really contributed to his success, which is the same

resiliency we have adopted aboard [Bush] to make sure that we are successful.”

Humbled by their recent recognition, Rodriguez and Waugh credit the example set by veterans who have stood where they stand now. Despite their success, they both know they have big shoes to fill, and a long legacy to honor.

“President Bush may be one of the more well-known veterans, but I know he is one of many who have served,” Waugh said. “I’m am forever humbled and grateful by the actions, the heroism, and the sacrifice of the men and women before me, no matter how far I go in my career.”

Rodriguez takes a lot of pride in serving her country, especially on Veterans Day.

“Every morning that I recite the Sailor’s Creed, I know that I represent the fighting spirit of those who served before me,” Rodriguez said. “It’s such a humbling feeling to stand in their place, and know that you are a better person for it.”

Veterans Day and Thanksgiving may only come once a year on the calendar, but Sailors and other service members find reasons to be thankful for veterans and their service every day. That gratitude is best displayed by standing the watch and upholding the legacy of those who have honorably served before us.

Bush Sailors recognized at Aggie Football Military Appreciation Night

By SN Joseph Boggio USS George H.W. Bush Public Affairs COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

Nearly 105,000 Aggies and Ole Miss fans erupted in cheer as Sailors assigned to aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) stepped onto Kyle Field at Texas A&M University, Texas, during a military appreciation night football game, Nov. 12.

The event honored the service and sacrifices made by military veterans, and the Sailors were invited to the game as part of a namesake visit over the weekend. The

Sailors participating in the visit were recently recognized as the Bush 2016 Sailors of the Year.

“It was amazing; it’s unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life,” Bush 2016 Petty Officer of the Year, Petty Officer 3rd Class Raylene Rodriguez said. “It was my first college football game, and I loved everything that went into the Aggie game.”

Texas A&M University was founded in 1871 as a military college, and many of the students, staff, and alumni take pride in their history. They recognize the military during vari-

ous special events such as the appreciation game, or tributes at Memorial Student Center.

“It was very humbling to have the outpouring of thanks, of the recognition for our service [and] for what we have done both on [Bush] and during our entire Navy careers,” Rodriguez said.

The Bush Sailors were invited on the field during a break in the game to be recognized for their service, where they were given a thumbs-up from the crowd – a gesture which symbolizes victory in the Texas A&M football fan culture.

SN Joe Boggio USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Command Master Chief Huben Phillips meets former president George H.W. Bush during a military appreciation football game at Texas A&M University.

“The community here really cares about the military. It felt good to have so many people cheering for us,” Bush 2016 Sailor of the Year, Petty Of-

ficer 1st Class Joanna Waugh said. “It felt even better to know, however, that these cheers would be for anyone in the military that would have

walked down on to the field.

That made it special.”

The Sailors walked back to their seats to shouts of, “Thank you for your service!” and dozens of arms extended for handshakes or high-fives.

The game ended with an unfortunate loss for Texas A&M, but the appreciation felt won’t soon be lost on those Bush Sailors.

Navy COOL expands funding eligibility for E-6 and above

By PO3 Taylor Jackson Center for Information Warfare Training Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.

Navy Credentialing Opportunities OnLine (COOL) announced a new waiver that affects E-6 Sailors who will reach high year tenure (HYT) at 20 years and senior enlisted who plan to retire at 20 years, Nov. 16.

The waiver now allows E-6 Sailors and senior enlisted who have completed 19 years of service and will end their careers at the 20-year mark to use Navy COOL’s services, including possible funding, to earn civilian credentials. These Sailors must be able to complete the requirements no less than 60 calendar days prior to their separation.

This change replaces the OPNAVINST 1540.56A requirement that personnel who

had less than one year remaining in service must have already completed 20 years of service to receive funding from Navy COOL. “No matter where you are in your career, you may be able to benefit from getting a credential that is related to your training and experience in the Navy,” Navy COOL’s Assistant Program Director Michael Talley said. “While the Navy’s Credentialing Program highly recommends that Sailors get credentialed as early as possible in their career, in reality this doesn’t always happen.

For this reason the Navy has built in several waivers to the time-in-service requirement.”

Navy COOL also offers waivers for Sailors who are being discharged due to combat-related injuries and Sailors who are approaching the end of their enlistment and are waiting for a reenlistment or ex-

Navy Surgeon General announces new strategic priorities for Navy Medicine

By Jazmine Wise U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Public Affairs FALLS CHURCH, VA.

The Navy’s top doctor announced new strategic priorities for Navy Medicine, Nov. 15.

Navy Surgeon General and Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), Vice

Adm. Forrest Faison presented the new mission, vision, principles and priorities for Navy Medicine, with rapid change being the driving force.

“The world in which we operate is constantly changing,” Faison said. “Our success depends on how well we adapt to those changes and continue to honor the trust placed in our hands every

Medicine, from the most junior corpsmen, to our most senior flag officers,” Faison said.

The strategy commits Navy Medicine to the following principles: honor the trust to care for America’s sons and daughters, honor the uniform we wear and honor the privilege of leadership.

“The tradition of caring, compassion, hope and resolve is a Navy Medicine hallmark that our team will continue to carry on,” Faison said.

Readiness, health and partnerships are the new Navy Medicine priorities.

Navy Divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit (MDSU) 1 teamed up with Royal Brunei navy personnel, Nov. 16-18, for diving operations on the former USS Salute – a World War II era minesweeper sunk by a Japanese mine during preparations for amphibious landings in the Battle of Borneo.

The diving operations were the first by the U.S. Navy on the wreckage of USS Salute, which lies in approximately 90 feet of water in Brunei Bay. The operations occurred with divers embarked on USNS Salvor (T-ARS-52) that were in Brunei for Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2016.

The dives on the World War II minesweeper were preceded by a remembrance ceremony at the U.S. Embassy in Bandar Seri Begawan on Nov. 14, where U.S. Ambassador Craig Allen and , Commander of Task Force 73 Rear Adm. Don Gabrielson recognized the service and sacrifice of the fallen Sailors who served in USS Salute.

According to Talley, credentialing is beneficial to a Sailor’s career because it is part of the Sailor’s Learning and Development Roadmap (LaDR). He stated that

The Navy Medicine mission is keeping the Navy and Marine Corps family ready, healthy and on the job.

“My vision for the Navy and Marine Corps family is to have the best readiness and health in the world and that we provide the best care our nation can offer, whenever and wherever needed,” Faison said.

Faison’s strategy introduces new principles to guide Navy Medicine personnel as they work to accomplish the new mission and vision.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE: PUT ON YOUR FAT JEANS

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

Human willpower built the pyramids, traveled to the moon, and split the atom. It enabled Evel Knievel to attempt to leap the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle, and Annie Edson Taylor to plunge over Niagara Falls inside a pickle barrel. It compelled Vincent Van Gough to cut off his own left ear, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa to climb Mount Everest, and Joshua Slocum to sail alone around the world.

But human willpower is no match against gingerbread lattes, holiday cheese balls, and Aunt Betty’s Peanut Butter Fudge.

Every year, I tell myself, “Lisa, you will NOT gain weight this holiday season!” But like a twig on the shoulders of a mighty stream, I am useless to fight it.

My organs grow fatty between Halloween and New Year’s Eve, like some kind of forcedfed fois gras duck, as I careen helplessly through the annual gauntlet of gobble. As sure as the change in seasons, the shifting tides, and dryer lint, I drift mindlessly into these cycy

clical food-related events of life, and before I know it, there’s no escape.

It all starts with the irresistible perils of fall, when we are inundated with warm donuts and fresh apple cider, spicy football wings and cold beer, and pumpkin-spiced this-thatand-the-other. We feel compelled to indulge ourselves; after all, the season wouldn’t seem right without these traditional delicacies.

But then, Halloween kicks it up a notch.

Bam! When I’ve finished consuming all the leftover Halloween candy and reach my maximum level of personal disgust, I make a futile effort to “get healthy.” For a few days, maybe a week if I’m lucky, I attempt to cleanse myself of excess calories, believing naively that, this will be the year that I make it through the season without gaining ten pounds.

Yeah, right.

Before I know it, it’s Thanksgiving, and my pantry is stuffed to the gills with brown sugar, chocolate chips, pecans, corn syrup, canned pumpkin, cranberry sauce, chicken broth, cornbread mix, and those french-fried onion thingies that go on top of the green bean casserole.

My refrigerator groans under the weight of sticks of butter, sweet potatoes, green beans, onions, a twenty-something pound turkey and a jar of those miniature sweet pickles for the relish tray.

Resistance is, most definitely, futile.

On Thanksgiving Day, I cook for more than 20, and serve less than 10. After toiling over the meal for so many thankless hours, I insist on mercilessly cramming my innards with my own work product. Uncomfortably full, I reach for seconds, then thirds, as my expanding gut compresses my lung capacity. Taking shallow breaths, I sample the desserts — “just a sliver of each” — as I ignore the nausea signals my stomach sends to my brain. I know the next bite might send me hurling to the nearest toilet, but I take it anyway. This self-destructive binge continues until I flop, engorged and panting, onto the couch.

Despite vowing the next day to “never eat again,” I channel my mother’s depressionera ethic against wasting food, and spend the next two weeks consuming the Thanksgiving leftovers as turkey noodle soup, turkey divan, hot turkey sandwiches, cold turkey sandwiches, turkey tetrazzini, turkey enchi enchiladas, and turkey potpie.

Wh When the turkey is finally gone, I officially surrender and start wearing my fat jeans in ansurre ticipa ticipation of the holiday food frenzy to come.

Helpless to avoid it, overeating becomes my Helpl Every day I get up, punch the clock, and job. E belly up to the mandatory feast of the season.

Over consumption reaches its pinnacle Ov around Christmastime, when, in my weakaroun ened state, I succumb to the cheese dip, spirral ham, eggnog, candy canes, prime rib, hot cocoa, mixed nuts, red and green M&Ms, and, of course, the cookies.

Oh … the cookies.

As my chins double, my inner dialogue attempts to justify the gluttony.

“My belly button disappeared.”

Th That’s what holiday sweaters are for.

“Th “There’s a roll on my back.”

No it matches your front.

DEERS and your income tax reporting From TRICARE FALLS CHURCH, VA.

When you do not have your family enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System(DEERS) the Department of Defense (DOD) cannot accurately report your healthcare coverage to the Internal Revenue Service IRS).

Starting last year, the DOD reported health care coverage of its service members and their dependents to the IRS. This report allows the IRS to determine which families had minimum essential coverage (MEC) as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).

For tax purposes, individuals and family members are identified by their Social Security Numbers (SSN). If a sponsor receives a letter indicating that their SSN or a family members’ SSN needs to be updated in DEERS please follow the instructions in the letter to ensure your information is correctly reported to the IRS. Those who have not met the MEC requirement will be required to pay a fee for the number of months each family member did not have coverage. If your family in-

formation is not reported accurately in DEERS, then your IRS information will be reported incorrectly.

Make sure you go to the right place if you have questions about any required forms you might need. Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy members, retirees and annuitants serviced by Defense Finance and Accounting Services can opt-in to receive their IRS Form electronically via myPay or call (888) 332-7411 for assistance. Active-duty members and active reservists of the Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) can call (866) 772-8724 or visit their Pay and Personnel Center page. Non-active duty Coast Guard, NOAA, Public Health Service (PHS) retirees, annuitants and former spouses can call (800) 772-8274. Active PHS members can call (240) 276-8799, email the PHS pay center at compensationbranch@psc.gov or fax an email to (240) 276-8817.

Accepting nominations for Exceptional Leadership Awards

Leading with an edge

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

By PO3 Zackary Alan Landers WASHINGTON

USS Carl Vinson Public Affairs PACIFIC OCEAN

Her boots, shined to a glossy black luster. Her uniform: spotless and pressed. Her collar, the fouled anchors and twin silver stars of a Navy master chief petty officer.

She’s the leader of more than 400 Sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70). Before her anchors, and even before her petty officer chevrons, Master Chief Petty Officer Lisa Suchil wore the rank of sergeant in the Marine Corps.

A native of Colton, California, Suchil first heard the call to service in high school.

The daughter of a Marine Corps veteran, she knew she would either enter the Marine Corps or pursue a career in law enforcement.

“I knew I didn’t want to go to college right away, and my father was in the Marine Corps,” Suchil said, speaking a few feet from a black and white, dress-blues portrait of the man who inspired her service. “So the Marine Corps was what I was leaning toward. I made the decision, and enlisted. I was 20 years old.”

Starting her career as a field radio operator, Suchil’s time as a Marine took her around the world to Japan, Thailand and for two tours on the ground during the Gulf War. The majority of Suchil’s time in the Marine Corps was spent doing the supply work she has grown to love. After four years in the radio communications field, Suchil requested a lateral move into the 3043 military occupational specialty, reclassifying her career field to supply administration.

While she enjoyed the work as a Marine Corps supply professional, Suchil said it was the leadership culture of the Marine Corps which shaped her most.

“There is a definite focus on leadership at every level in the Marine Corps,” Suchil said. “Marines get their first formal leadership training at the E-3 paygrade. Some of the most junior Marines lead fire teams, and it only progresses from there. Training such as [Marine

PO2 Ace Rheaume Chief Petty Officer Thomas Colesanti, center, assigned to the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5, has his chief petty officer anchors pinned on his collar by Senior Chief Petty Officer Lisa Suchil, left, and Senior Chief Petty Officer Joseph Hampton at a chief petty officer pinning ceremony at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan.

Corps’] corporals’, sergeants’, and staff noncommissioned officers’ courses keep building leadership skills.”

After 12 years in the Marine Corps, Suchil decided to transition to civilian life.

It didn’t take her long to realize she wasn’t ready to be done with her military service.

“I was out of the Marine Corps for 29 days before deciding that I wanted to continue my life in the military,” Suchil said. “I had ridden the landing craft onto beaches with Sailors, and our corpsmen were Sailors, so I was familiar with the Navy and Sailor life.”

When she entered the Navy, Suchil wasn’t able to keep her rank of sergeant, E-5. Instead she put on the crow and chevron of a petty officer third class, E-4.

Determined to catch up and keep pace with her former Marine colleagues, Suchil said she took the skills she learned from her time in “the Corps” and put them to use in the Navy.

“The training and experience in leadership I got as a Marine allowed me to excel in the Navy,” Suchil said. “It gave me an edge. The tools I had from the Marine Corps helped me empower my Sailors and motivate them through the skill sets I had learned.”

Surveying her career, it is clear her edge has paid off. She’s advanced rapidly through the Navy ranks. Leading shipboard Sailors, working hand-in-hand with Seabees, and training recruits as a recruit division commander are just a few of the highlights on Suchil’s lengthy resume. At each step, she’s brought with her the skills of both a seasoned Marine and experienced Sailor.

“Training leaders is all incumbent on what we do at the lowest level, and that’s something I learned on day one in the Marine Corps,” Suchil said. “As a leader on Carl Vinson, I want to make sure my Sailors have the tools and resources they need to lead. Sometimes, it takes making mistakes to learn. As a senior leader, I provide the support to help my Sailors take the right lessons on board.”

Being a leader and motivating people is easier when you enjoy your work, Suchil believes.

“What I love about military life is the structure and the people,” Suchil said.

“The supply career field and the military have allowed me to help people and provide the things that make our organization run.”

No matter if she’s ensuring quality of life is met through hot meals or mail service, Suchil noted her unique story of split service has allowed her to advance personally and better care for her Sailors along the way.

“I’m extremely fortunate for the opportunities the military has given me,” Suchil said. “Getting where I wanted to be is one thing, but using my experience to help others and accomplish the mission is what matters most.”

To those who don’t know of her dynamic career, Suchil is seen and respected on the deckplates as the master chief petty officer she is. But for those who know her story, the photo of the Iwo Jima flag raising on her door makes sense. Her military bearing comes as no surprise. Her pride in service is clearly evident. They know she is truly a leader with an edge.

The Navy’s Office of Inclusion and Diversity is currently accepting nominations for the 2017 Captain Joy Bright Hancock and Master Chief Anna Der-Vartanian Leadership Awards.

The Washington State Military Transition Council (WSMTC) conducted their quarterly meeting aboard USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), Nov. 16.

WSMTC creates partnerships between private and public organizations that help service members successfully transition from their military career into civilian employment and career opportunities in Washington.

“The purpose behind this visit is to help service members effectively integrate back into the civilian work force as they transition from the military,” WSMTC Project Manager Paul Cruz said. “The intent is to make [the transition] seamless and easier and ensure that the military families are taken care of as soon as they exit the military.”

WSMTC has several educational and occupational programs in place for service members upon completion of their military service.

PO3 Andre T. Richard USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Executive Officer Capt. P. Scott Miller welcomes members of the Washington State Military Transition Council (WSMTC) at the beginning of their quarterly meeting aboard Stennis.

“The transition council is a partnership [and] we partner with about every industry in this state,” Cruz said. “We combine our efforts to ensure that the programs that are available are prevalent to the service members so they know it exists.”

WSMTC works out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, in Washington. Meetings at other military facilities in the region help WSMTC members get information about a variety of service member needs.

USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Sailors decorated downtown Bremerton with holiday lights during a community service event, Nov. 12.

Sailors were up early to spend their Saturday morning hanging holiday lights throughout the downtown district along Pacific Avenue and 4th Street.

“I just think it’s really great that they take the time out of their long weekend to come volunteer to help downtown Bremerton,” a civilian organizer for the event Elizabeth Leonhardt said. “It’s also important for the community to not forget the Sailors that are a part of the community.”

Since 2014, Stennis Sailors have volunteered their time to give back to their community and help spread holiday cheer by setting up and taking down lights. The lights signify the beginning of the holiday season in the Bremerton community.

“During the holiday period, everyone is running around stressed out, and seeing something beautiful like lights downtown is something that can make somebody smile and relieve a little bit of their stress,” Petty Officer 1st Class Terrence Goodale said.

Goodale plans to participate in the event every year he lives in Bremerton. Community service events, such as the holiday decorations, serve as a productive and healthy way for Sailors to spend their time off work and as a part of the local community.

Twenty-four Sailors assigned to aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) marched in the Auburn 51st annual Veterans Day Parade alongside the Washington Society of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution color guard, Nov. 5.

Auburn is designated by the Veterans Day National Committee and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a regional site for the celebration of Veterans Day 2016. The city has hosted the parade since 1965 and it is one of the largest Veterans Day parades in the U.S., according to the city’s parks department.

“We represent the first veterans,” Color Guard Commander for the Washington Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and a retired Army Artillery Officer Bob O’Neal said. “We are so happy to have the Navy here with us today. [Stennis Sailors] represent our armed forces all over the world. Together, we are carrying on the tradition of military service and we are so happy to have them with us.”

Enlisted Sailors from Stennis’ Combat Systems, Medical, Supply and Weapons departments carried flags down the parade route as hundreds of spectators, clutching both umbrellas and American flags, cheered, applauded and saluted.

“This is not the first time that USS John C. Stennis has participated with the Sons of the American Revolution, but this is my first time and I’m excited,” Stennis Community Relations (COMREL) Event Coordinator Petty Officer 1st Class Tamara Gholson said. “It’s great to see every branch of service participating in the parade today, even ROTC and Sea Cadets, so we are honored to be representing the Navy.”

The parade featured more than 200 units comprising nearly 6,000 military and civilian personnel, including Navy Band Northwest, representatives from Bremerton Base Submarine Veterans, military vehicles, high school marching bands, veterans associations and various honor guards.

“I like doing COMRELs,” Seaman Vanessa Abney said. “I feel it’s important to honor veterans of every branch and I owe them that respect.

It makes me so proud and I just got my [enlisted surface warfare specialist] pin and it really makes me feel a part of something bigger than I am.”

The parade festivities also featured a 5K fun run, military flyovers by various aircraft, and numerous vendors and veterans’ resource groups.

PNSY EARNS SECDEF MAINTENANCE AWARD From Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Public Affairs KITTERY, MAINE

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) was announced as the winner of the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Robert T. Mason Award for Depot Maintenance Excellence for the record-setting engineered overhaul of attack submarine USS Alexandria (SSN 757).

PNSY delivered Alexandria back to the fleet approximately two weeks early and $9 million under budget.

Completion of the 280,000 man-day, engineered overhaul established significant benchmarks in safety and first-time quality, making Alexandria’s overhaul the fastest in the Navy’s history. “[Naval Sea Systems Command’s] top priority is the on-time delivery of ships and submarines so that we can expand our warfighting advantage,� Commander of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Vice Adm. Tom Moore. “Maintenance wins like Alexandria highlight the

amazing work and dedication of our shipyard employees and their steadfast commitment to our national defense.�

The project team, ship’s crew, and the entire PNSY organization utilized improved processes, innovative management techniques, and sound leadership principles to meet every major overhaul milestone on, or ahead of schedule with best quality and safety records. Returning Alexandria to the fleet early resulted in a smooth postoverhaul transition from the Atlantic to the Pacific Fleet, which also improved the quality of life for the ship’s crew and their families. “The workforce really took ownership of their work; they’re empowered to suggest and implement improvements to ensure first-time quality,�

Project Superintendent Scott Curtis said. “Our mechanics, engineers, inspectors, support personnel, and ship’s crew really came together as a collaborative team to become the driving force behind this record-setting overhaul.�

The SECDEF Maintenance Awards are presented annually in recognition of outstanding achievements in weapon system and military equipment maintenance. The depot-level award is named in honor of Robert T. Mason, a former assistant deputy undersecretary of defense for maintenance policy, programs, and resources. “The [Mason] Award is a true testament to the efforts we have made to empower our workforce to drive innovation and efficiency in all aspects of our work,�

Commander of PNSY Capt.

Dave Hunt said. “By focusing on people first, and safety always, Portsmouth will continue to deliver excellence for the Navy and the nation.�

The awards will be presented to the winners Dec. 6, in the Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the awards banquet in conjunction with the 2016 Department of Defense Maintenance Symposium.

ARLINGTON, VA.

As diminishing sea ice in the Arctic Ocean expands navigable waters, scientists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have traveled to the region to study the changing environment and provide new tools to help the U.S. Navy operate in a once-inaccessible area. “This changing environment is opening the Arctic for expanded maritime and naval activity,� Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Mat Winter said. “Developing a deeper understanding and knowledge of this environment is essential for reliable weather and ice predictions to ensure the safety of future scientific and operational activities in the region.�

A recent announcement from the National Snow and Ice Data Center revealed 2016’s sea ice minimum – the annual measurement of when sea ice hits its lowest point – tied with 2007 for the secondlowest ice minimum since satellite monitoring began in the 1970s. The lowest minimum ever occurred in 2012.

ONR sponsored its scientific research through two initiatives within its Arctic and Global Prediction Program-Marginal Ice Zone and Waves and Sea State. Additional research involved the program’s Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE) initiative.

Scientists measured the strength and intensity of waves and swells moving through the weakened Arctic sea ice. The accumulated data will be used to develop more accurate computer models and prediction methods to forecast ice, ocean, and weather conditions.

CANAPE researchers used sophisticat-

„ online Watch a video https://youtu.be/_ UUj09pWEX4 about ONR-sponsored research in the Arctic Ocean. ed oceanographic and acoustic sensors to gauge temperature, salinity, ice and ambient noise conditions under the surface of the ice and water – factors that can dramatically impact the effectiveness of sonar operations and antisubmarine warfare. “Abundant sea ice reduces waves and swells, and keeps the Arctic Ocean very quiet,� ONR program officer Dr. Robert Headrick said, overseeing the CANAPE research. “With increased sea ice melt, however, comes more waves and wind, which create more noise and makes it harder to track undersea vessels. The goal of CANAPE is to gain a better and more comprehensive understanding of these changing oceanographic conditions.�

Because of its thick shield of sea ice, the Arctic historically has had limited naval strategic relevance beyond submarine operations. But as this frozen cover changes, it is opening new commercial shipping lanes; increasing oil and natural gas exploration, fishing and tourism. Also, raising the potential of new security concerns. It also may create new requirements for the Navy’s surface fleet. “Having accurate forecasting models will help the Navy determine what types of surface vessels it will need to build in the near future and 30 years from now to withstand the climate conditions,� ONR program officer Dr. Scott Harper said, overseeing the Marginal Ice Zone and Waves and Sea State research. “That way, the Navy can operate as safely and effectively in the Arctic as it does throughout the rest of the world.�

PACFLT TEAM IMPLEMENTS RATING MODERNIZATION

By PO1 Phillip Pavlovich U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII

U.S. Pacific Fleet’s new rating modernization Operational Planning Team (OPT) is seeking input from Sailors as the team works to help shape the Navy’s transition from enlisted ratings to Navy Occupational Specialty (NOS) codes.

The team stood up after the Navy announced, Sept. 29, that all rating titles for enlisted Sailors will reflect a new classification system consisting of occupational specialty codes similar to how other branches of the military categorize enlisted skill sets. The transition will occur in phases over a multi-year period.

Commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet Adm. Scott H. Swift said the OPT will help Pacific Fleet stay synchronized with rating modern-

ization efforts occurring throughout the Navy.

“Pacific Fleet OPT efforts will ensure we in the Pacific are aligned with the vision of Navy rating modernization,” Swift said.

“I look forward to the ensuing dialogue and development of this important initiative.”

Members participating in the working group, including senior enlisted leaders like U.S. Pacific Fleet Master Chief Suz Whitman, will lead rating modernization in the Fleet by engaging Sailors, soliciting their feedback and raising their awareness as phases of the modernization progress.

“PACFLT is leading efforts to gather information from the fleet, specifically from Sailors, to properly inform the rating modernization process,” Whitman said. “The OPT allows Sailors’ voices to be heard. Their input will help shape

the modernization process.”

The intent of the rating modernization is to maximize talent management and career flexibility, while providing enlisted Sailors with training and widely recognized credentials that will be transferable to the civilian workforce. It is one of several initiatives aimed at providing Sailors with more opportunities for training, duty stations, advancement, and retirement or separation.

The world’s largest fleet command, the U.S. Pacific Fleet encompasses 100 million square miles, nearly half the Earth’s surface, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle and from the West Coast of the U.S. into the Indian Ocean.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet consists of approximately 200 ships and submarines, nearly 1,100 aircraft, and more than 140,000 Sailors and civilians.

We are in the battlespace every single day From Navy Office of Information WASHINGTON

Lt. Chris Price U.S. Navy Divers attached to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 1 place a memorial plaque at the wreckage site of USS Salute (AM-294) which sank in Brunei waters on June 7, 1945, during Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) Brunei 2016, Nov. 16.

DIVERS | First operation by U.S.

Navy on USS Salute wreckage Continued from B1 opportunity during CARAT to pay tribute to the Sailors of USS Salute who gave their last full measure for our nation,” Gabrielson said. “Our remembrance ceremony and diving operations on Salute solemnly honor an important historical site and pay rightful respects to the legacy of brave Americans who will never be forgotten.”

USS Salute struck a mine on June 7, 1945, while conducting sweeping operations for an Australian landing force in preparation for the Battle of Borneo that liberated Brunei from Japanese imperial forces. Salute sank just after midnight on June 8, after a failed attempt by two Navy landing craft to salvage the ship.

Lt. James J. Hughes, an officer aboard Salute who survived the explosion, later recalled the final hours before the minesweeper sank.

“The ship was hit mid-ship, right underneath the belly, and it came right up through all the decks,” Hughes said. “Anybody in that area was killed, especially in the engine room. They didn’t have a chance. We hit it about four in the afternoon and sunk about midnight. We were making the last run of the day.”

For Navy divers who visited Salute’s wreckage, it was an opportunity to pay tribute and reflect on a solemn war grave where U.S. service members perished.

“These operations provided U.S. Navy divers a unique opportunity to work alongside our Bruneian counterparts on a very meaningful project,” MDSU-1 Detachment Officer in Charge Lt. Chris Price said. “We are preserving our Navy’s rich history and heritage and giving a very fitting remembrance to these fallen Sailors.”

U.S. and Royal Brunei navy divers conducted operations on the Salute wreckage in support of CARAT Brunei 2016. As one of the original CARAT partners, the Royal Brunei armed forces have engaged annually in CARAT since the exercise series began in 1995. The U.S. and Brunei have enjoyed diplomatic relations since 1845, when the USS Constitution dropped anchor in Brunei Bay. In its 22nd year, CARAT is a bilateral exercise series between the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and the armed forces of nine partner nations in South and Southeast Asia, including Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Timor-Leste.

Task Force 73 and Destroyer Squadron 7 staff conduct advanced planning, organize resources and directly support the execution of maritime exercises such as the bilateral CARAT series, the Naval Engagement Activity with Vietnam, and the multi-lateral Southeast Asia Cooperation and Training with Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Nearly every aspect of our lives is connected online. From sending a message to our doctor to work, we use computers and the web constantly to helps us manage our time and lives.

This online dependence has brought new challenges and threats. We have to understand these threats and know how to protect ourselves and our country.

“It’s a known fact that the human error continues to be the number one vulnerability of Navy networks,” Director of the Naval OPSEC Support Team Jim Magdalenski said.

Between September 2014 and June 2015, there were 30 million known malicious intrusion attempts on Department of Defense networks.

Both civilian and military computer systems are under constant attack from a variety of sources. Adversaries use hacking, espionage, malware, viruses and worms to obtain personal information through emails, software downloads and social websites.

“What we all have to remember is that every Sailor is a cyber warrior,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said. “Just like every Sailor is a firefighter, every Sailor is a cyber warrior.... It just takes one person to make a mistake – that mistake can be exploited and the network can be severely damaged by one person’s lapse in concentration.”

Whether at work or at home, Navy personnel must remember that they are in the battlespace and are our first line of defense.

As a Navy, we continue to rely on cyberspace and this has increased the risk for cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity must be as much of an everyday priority for Navy personnel as any other aspect of their job.

We work in this battlespace every single day; human error has been behind nearly every successful cyber-intrusion to date; something as simple as opening a link in an email can bring down a network.

Don’t be complacent! Your actions can either contribute to the defense of our network or allow potentially damaging security breaches.

The Department of Homeland Security has some simple steps you can take every day to help you stay secure in the cyber world. (www.dhs.gov/ stopthinkconnect-campaign-blog) • Make your passwords complex. Create long, complex passwords that adhere to department policy and that include a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

• Beware of phishing emails. Do not open emails, links, or attachments from strangers. Phishing attacks continue to be the primary threat vector from adversaries who use email or malicious websites to infect your machine with malware in order to collect personal and financial information.

• Report all suspicious activity. If you notice something seems off or unusual with your computer, report it immediately. On NMCI forward suspicious emails as attachments to NMCI_SPAM@navy.mil.

Temporary home in Norfolk’s Neon District gives d’Art Center painter inspiration for exhibit

By Dan Duke The Virginian-Pilot NORFOLK

Vonnie Whitworth is feeling at home in Norfolk’s arts district, but the journey is not quite over for the talented painter and her colleagues in the d’Art Center.

Since their digs on the other side of downtown, in the Selden Arcade, blew up in April 2015, the artists have been nomads.

Whitworth is very happy to be in the NEON District, but the space at 740 Duke St., across the street from the Chrysler Museum and its Glass Studio, has its pluses and minuses.

One plus: the artwork inspired by her regular strolls through the arts district.

Her exhibition, “Celebration of NEON and Beyond,� features bright paintings of her observations of this colorful, hopeful new downtown district.

The d’Art Center opened to the public in March.

Her imagination and paintbrushes have been flying.

Does she want people to come to the exhibit and see her work? Of course, but she wants more. The point of the d’Art Center is to give people not only a chance to see work by local talent, but to also give them a greater appreciation of art by watching the artists at work.

The Selden Arcade was great for that. People could walk through the building and see the artists working on either side along the way. Whitworth said that it would have been great to be there when a rejuvenated Waterside got rolling nearby and the new conference center opened right next door.

But the electrical explosion in the arcade pushed them out, and they can’t go back. The center’s first temporary quarters at the PNC Bank Building weren’t good for public interaction.

Courtesy of Vonnie Whitworth Norfolk painter Vonnie Whitworth said that she saw this woman photographing a model, and then bumped into her later in the day on Granby Street.

and what it’s named – an office building at Duke and Grace streets. Most of the evidence of the d’Art Center’s presence faces the road less traveled, Grace Street, further reducing the d’Art Center’s profile. It’s about a block away from The Pilot, and I’ve driven past it many times without noticing the d’Art Center. “We are part of the NEON District. ... The artists are there in the studios working and eager to have people come and see them work,� Whitworth said, “but we feel that many people don’t even know we’re open.�

Perhaps a place with a storefront on Granby Street in the NEON District would do the trick? “We need a permanent location,� said Whitworth, who is on the board of the d’Art Center. “The board is working on it, but the wheels turn very slowly.

It’s very complicated and very involved.� “Artists are very flexible,� Whitworth said. “We just roll with the punches, and we’re ready to do it again.�

“We’re happy to be in the NEON District, we’re happy to be near the Chrysler Museum,� Whitworth said. “A space that feels right is very important.

When I got into my studio, I knew that it felt right. I love the neighborhood. I watch droves of people all day every day go to and from the Chrysler Museum and the Glass Studio, and very few of them make it into our studio. And it’s a shame.�

And there it is.

The Duke Grace Building looks like what it is

Courtesy of Vonnie Whitworth A quick glance during a walk on Granby Street told Vonnie Whiteworth she had the makings of a painting. “Reflection of Bob’s� shows Bob’s Gun Shop, with its giant Neon District mural, in the window of a tattoo parlor. “The two things coming together in that window was perfect.�

The man waiting on the bench added another dimension, and she added the taxi, for its color, and the d’Art Center poster in the lower left.

WWII 75TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION PAYS TRIBUTE TO VETERANS Special tribute planned for WWII veterans at UR’ s Robins Center Press Release Virginia World War I and World War II Commemoration Commission Public Affairs RICHMOND, VA.

A statewide tribute to World War II veterans will be held on Dec. 8, at the University of Richmond’s Robins Center from 9:30 a.m. to noon, when the Virginia World War I and World War II Commemoration Commission will host Dawn of Infamy: America Goes to War. The program is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is requested

by Nov. 23. To register, visit www.VirginiaWorldWarII.org or call Lily Jones at (804) 786-3591, ext. 252. WWII veterans and their families are encouraged to attend, and current military personnel are requested to serve as volunteer escorts. Lunch will be provided for all attendees. Greg McQuade, host of “Virginia This Morning” on CBS6 will emcee the event.

Dawn of Infamy will feature an Honor Parade of World War II veterans, during which each WWII veteran will be recognized and receive a special medallion designed for the occasion.

The keynote speaker is Pulitzer-Prize winner and military historian Rick Atkinson, author of The New York Times best-selling Liberation Trilogy, a narrative history of America’s role in the liberation of Europe during World War II. The event will be livestreamed, with simultaneous ceremonies happening across Virginia.

The date marks the 75th anniversary

of the United States’ entry into World War II on December 8, 1941, following the previous day’s attack on Pearl Harbor – an event that launched the nation into a worldwide conflict that had been raging for two years. In the years that followed more than 400,000 Americans, over 11,000 of whom were Virginians, gave their lives, while millions of others put their lives at risk.

“It is with immense gratitude that we recognize the veterans who fought for our freedom during World War II,” Chairman of the World War I and World War II Commemoration Commission Delegate M. Kirkland Cox said. “We are honored to commemorate this anniversary in the presence of the very men and women who, 75 years ago, went into war with no guarantee that they would return.”

“The Virginia War Memorial and Department of Veterans Services is honored to participate in this special commemoration of World War II veterans,” Commissioner for the Virginia Department of Veterans Services John Newby said. “These members of ‘the Greatest Generation’ were the determining factor in winning the war, rebuilding the American economy and creating historic achievements that to this day are unsurpassable.”

Calling the event a “celebration of victory and recognition of the victors,” University of Richmond Chancellor E. Bruce Heilman, who joined the U.S. Marines in 1944 and fought at Okinawa, will lead the Honor Parade.

“As a veteran of World War II, my life during and since that experience has been blessed with the satisfaction of having served my country when it made a difference,” Heilman said. “Now, 75 years after its beginning, I take pride in

this special tribute taking place at the University of Richmond where I have, for 46 years, served as President and Chancellor.”

The Commission’s new mobile exhibit, Profiles of Honor, will be open for visitors outside the Robins Center, and a number of partner organizations will be present, including museums across the state. Among them is Voices of Freedom, a mobile recording studio set up by the Americans in Wartime Museum to record oral histories from veterans of all conflicts. VCU’s Virtual Curation Laboratory will also be onsite to demonstrate 3D scanning and printing of artifacts, showcasing the project’s 3-D printed World War I and World War II object replicas.

About the Virginia WWI and WWII Commemoration Commission The Virginia World War I and World War II Commemoration Commission was created by the Virginia General Assembly during its 2016 Session by expanding the existing World War II 75th anniversary Commission to include programs and observances marking the 100th anniversary of World War I. Over the next four years, the Commission will carry out programs to recognize the 75th anniversary of World War II and the 100th anniversary of World War I, which begins in April 2017.

Among the Commission’s projects are a mobile tour – Profiles of Honor – that will debut on December 7 and bring an interactive exhibit to sites across Virginia, and a statewide teacher symposium.

Give thanks to the peoples, places that made our feasts possible Q&A Q. Voles are eating the roots of my annuals. This spring, I added a tablespoon of ground castor beans to each hole before planting begonias, portulaca and geraniums. The portulaca and geraniums did fairly well, but the voles enjoyed the begonias immensely.

It’s time to switch over to pansies, which the voles also delighted in eating last winter. I’m considering placing a daffodil bulb in each hole before we plant the pansies. Do you think that this will work?

Can you provide another solution?

A. Perhaps voles find begonias more appetizing? I have heard of using ricin for moles with success. I don’t know if the bulbs would serve to distract the voles from your pansies or attract them.

I did some research and recommend the technique outlined in an article from Virginia Tech Coooperative Extension about moles and voles, and one on voles from the University of California’s Integrated Pest Management Program at http://bit.ly/2eJrbPy. You’ll be a vole/ mole expert if you read them, so I’ll distill these for you. Excluding and trapping seem to be the most viable solutions.

The efficacy of baits seems inconclusive at best. They are somewhat difficult to use, and may pose a danger to desirable critters and pets.

By Ken Spencer The Virginian-Pilot correspondent NORFOLK

Plant Science 101 On Nov. 24, I’ll be thankful to sit down to dinner with my family at my parents’ house in North Carolina, just as I’ve done every Thanksgiving Day except for just a handful of times. Dinner will be at noon sharp, as is the custom in the Spencer household on the family farm.

There will be a turkey, ham or beef roast, oyster dressing and gravy, sweet potato casserole, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, collards, turnips, cranberry sauce, pickled beets, pimento cheese, yeast rolls and sweet iced tea. After a walk around the neighborhood, I expect we’ll see a pecan or coconut pie and vanilla ice cream appear. I’ll join my dad in his mid-afternoon cup of coffee.

Have you ever thought about where our traditional holiday foods come from – I mean, really originated? Or how they were domesticated and traditionally used by people indigenous to those areas of origin? Call it ethnobotany.

In the early 1900s, Russian Nikolai Vavilov, after studies in genetics at Cambridge University, United Kingdom, returned to the Soviet Union, and as head of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, worked to establish 400 research institutions throughout the country. These were similar in mission to our own state Agricultural Experimental Stations and U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. For nearly two decades, he made extensive collecting expeditions throughout Europe, China, and Central and South America, bringing back more than 50,000 plant samples and more than 30,000 specimens of wheat alone.

From his observations during these travels, later discussed in “The Origin, Varia-

term of the week Biennial – a plant that completes its life cycle over parts of two growing seasons, growing vegetatively the first year, and then, following an exposure to cold temperatures (vernalization), flowers, produces seed and dies.

Example – mustard family members.

tion, Immunity and Breeding of Cultivated Plants,” Vavilov theorized that a cultivated plant’s center of origin could be pinpointed to the region of its greatest diversity. He later proposed eight, then 13 world centers of plant origin – Chinese, Indian, Indo-Malayan, Central Asiatic, Persian, Mediterranean, Abyssinian, South American, Central American, Chilean, Brazilian and North American. Vavilov later devoted his life to the study and the improvement of corn, wheat and other cereal crops – staples of the global population. When he criticized the non-Mendelian concepts espoused by another botanist aligned with Stalin, he was imprisoned, and he later died of starvation.

At the time of his death, the Vavilov Institute in Leningrad, Soviet Union, housed the largest seed bank in the world. In subsequent years, millions of Russians died from famine, due to the failed agricultural prac-

tices and policies of his government.

Compared to other centers, the inventory of cultivated plants originating from the North American region is rather slim.

A short list would include: Jerusalem artichoke, sunflower, tobacco, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, grape, walnut, pecan and cranberry. The only North American representatives on the table, either main dish or ingredients, are pecans and cranberries. None of our staple food or important agricultural export crops is anywhere to be found.

As you sit down this week to Thanksgiving dinner, think about, and give thanks for, family and friends, good health, our freedoms and the great abundance of food that we enjoy. And last, but not least, give thanks to the peoples and places around the world that made your holiday feast possible. Have a great Thanksgiving!

A food thermometer should be used to ensure a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 F has been reached to destroy bacteria and prevent foodborne illness.

Many variables can affect the roasting time of a whole turkey: A partially frozen turkey requires longer cooking.

A stuffed turkey takes longer to cook.

The oven may heat food unevenly.

Temperature of the oven may be inaccurate.

Dark roasting pans cook faster than shiny metals.

The depth and size of the pan can reduce heat circulation to all areas of the turkey.

The use of a foil tent for the entire time can slow cooking.

Use of the roasting pan’s lid speeds cooking.

An oven cooking bag can accelerate cooking time.

The rack position can have an effect on even cooking and heat circulation.

A turkey or its pan may be too large for the oven, thus blocking heat circulation.

ROASTING INSTRUCTIONS

From FoodSafety.gov

1. Set the oven temperature no lower than 325 F. Preheating is not necessary.

2. Be sure the turkey is completely thawed. Times are based on fresh or thawed birds at a refrigerator temperature of 40 F or below.

3. Place turkey breast-side up on a flat wire rack in a shallow roasting pan 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep.

Optional steps: Tuck wing tips back under shoulders of bird – called “akimbo.”

Add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the pan.

In the beginning, a tent of aluminum foil may be placed loosely over the breast of the turkey for the first 1 to 1 1/2 hours, and then removed for browning. Or, a tent of foil may be placed over the turkey after the turkey has reached the desired golden brown color.

4. For optimum safety, cook stuffing in a casserole. If stuffing your turkey, mix ingredients just before stuffing it; stuff loosely.

Additional time is required for the turkey and stuffing to reach a safe minimum internal temperature – see chart.

5. For safety and doneness, the internal temperature should be checked with a food thermometer. The temperature of the turkey and the center of the stuffing must reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 F. Check the temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast.

6. Let the bird stand 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving.

The Thanksgiving meal is the largest many cooks prepare each year.

Getting it just right, especially the turkey, brings a fair amount of pressure whether or not a host is experienced with roasting one. Follow these tips to make sure your Thanksgiving meal is both delicious and safe to serve.

WASHINGTON

Steps to follow before cooking a turkey: Read labels carefully. Temperature labels show if the bird is fresh or frozen. If you plan to serve a fresh turkey, purchase it no more than two days before Thanksgiving.

Purchase two thermometers: a refrigerator thermometer to ensure the turkey is stored at 40 °F or slightly below and a food thermometer to make sure the cooked turkey reaches a safe 165 °F. Thaw the turkey by using the microwave, the cold water method, or the refrigerator. The refrigerator method is USDA recommended exit disclaimer icon.

Steps to follow when cooking a turkey: Wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before touching any food to prevent the spread of many types of infection and illness.

Do not wash the turkey. This only spreads pathogens onto kitchen surfaces. The only way to kill bacteria that causes foodborne illness is to fully cook the turkey.

Keep raw turkey separated from all other foods at all times.

Use separate cutting boards, plates, and utensils when handling raw turkey to avoid cross-contamination. Wash items that have touched raw meat with warm soap and water, or place them in a dishwasher.

Cook the turkey until it reaches 165 °F, as measured by a food thermometer. Check the turkey’s temperature by inserting the thermometer in three places: the thickest part of the breast, the innermost part of the thigh, and the innermost part of the wing.

Steps to follow when consuming leftover Thanksgiving food: Refrigerate leftovers within two hours to prevent bacteria from growing on the food.

Store leftovers in shallow pans or containers to decrease cooling time.

This prevents the food from spending too much time at unsafe temperatures (between 40 °F to 140 °F).

Do not store stuffing inside a leftover turkey. Remove the stuffing from the turkey, and refrigerate the stuffing and the meat separately.

Avoid consuming leftovers that have been left in the refrigerator for longer than 3 or 4 days (next Tuesday to be exact). Use the freezer to store leftovers for longer periods of time.

Keep leftovers in a cooler with ice or frozen gel packs if the food is traveling home with a guest who lives more than two hours away.

TURKEY FUNDAMENTALS: LEFTOVERS

By Diane Van USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service Public Affairs WASHINGTON

The Sad Case of the Leftover Thanksgiving Doggy Bag “Would you like a doggy bag to take home?” asks the waiter. “That would be great” says the diner. Nearly half of her dinner remains on the plate and will make a quick second meal for another day.

But wait. Here’s the same diner calling the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Meat and Poultry Hotline the following day. “I put a restaurant doggy bag in the back seat of my car last night, and when I came out to drive to work, there it sat. Is it safe if I heat it up again?”

Sadly, no. The food safety expert at USDA explains that bacteria in food left out for more than two hours double in number every 20 minutes, and some bacteria make a poison or toxin that can make you ill, hence the term “food poisoning.”

Even if you were able to heat the food and destroy the thousands of bacteria present in the backseat eat doggy bag, the toxin can make you ill. It’s a lose-lose proposition. position. Toss that “puppy” out!

Handling Leftovers Safely How could the doggy-bag owner handle andle the bonus meal safely? First of all, take the restaurant leftovers straight home – no runnning errands or visiting friends. Within 2 hours of being served, the leftovers should be safely tucked away at home in the refrigerator where they can safely remain for three to four days.

Leaving food out at an unsafe temperature is one of the main causes of foodborne illness. Safe handling of leftovers is very important to reducing foodborne illness. Follow these USDA recommendations for handling leftovers safely – whether from a restaurant orr home cooked. mBacteria grow rapidly between the temperatures of 40 F and 140 F. After food is safely cooked, leftovers must be refrigererated within two hours.

Throw away any hot or cold leftovers that hat rs at have been left out for more than two hours room temperature – one hour when the tememperature is above 90 F, such as at an outdoor oor event.

To prevent bacterial growth, it’s im-

portant to cool hot food rapidly to the safe refrigerator-storage temperature of 40 F. To do this, divide large amounts of food into shallow containers. A big pot of soup, for example, will take a long time to cool, inviting bacteria to multiply and increasing the danger of foodborne illness.

Cut large items of food into smaller portions to cool. For whole roasts, turkey or hams, slice or cut them into smaller parts.

Hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator, or it can be rapidly chilled in an ice or cold water bath before refrigerating.

Cover leftovers, wrap them in airtight packaging, or seal them in storage containers. These practices help keep bacteria out, retain moisture, and prevent leftovers from picking up odors from other food in the refrigerator. Immediately refrigerate or freeze the wrapped leftovers for rapid cooling.

Reheating Safely Stored Leftovers Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for three to four days or frozen for three to four months. Although safe indefinitely, frozen leftovers can lose moisture and flavor when stored for longer times in the freezer.

online for more Thanksgiving goodies Check out flagshipnews.com for more Thanksgiving content, including: Approximate turkey thawing times Alternate ways to cook a turkey Approximate cooking times When reheating leftovers, be sure they reach 165 F. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food. Reheat sauces, soups and gravies by bringing them to a rolling boil. Cover leftovers to reheat. This retains moisture and ensures that food will heat all the way through.

Thaw frozen leftovers safely in the refrigerator, cold water or the microwave oven. When thawing leftovers in a microwave continue to heat it until it reaches 165 F as measured with a food thermometer.

Any leftover “leftovers” thawed by the cold water method or in the microwave should be reheated to 165 F before refreezing.

In a real hurry? It is safe to reheat frozen leftovers without thawing, either in a saucepan or microwave – in the case of a soup or stew – or in the oven or microwave – for example, casseroles and combination meals. Reheating will take longer than if the food is thawed first, but it is safe to do when time is short.

It was a UFC doubleheader on Nov. 19, with 13 consecutive hours of fighting between two cards in Belfast, Northern Ireland and Sao Paulo, Brazil, and main events featuring four top 10 fighters in the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions.

Kicking things off in Belfast, Gegard Mousasi earned a measure of revenge with his first round TKO over Uriah Hall after falling to the former Ultimate Fighter finalist in a shocking upset last year. Mousasi controlled the action from start to finish this time around, as he eventually took Hall to the ground and battered him with punches until the referee saw enough and called a stop to the contest.

Mousasi was a heavy favorite according to fantasy players, despite suffering a loss in his last fight with Hall. This weekend, 75 percent of players picked Mousasi to win, with another 60 percent saying he would get the job done by knockout.

While Mousasi was a heavy favorite who came through with a big win, the co-main event saw a mas-

sive upset, with Stevie Ray earning a split decision victory over Ross Pearson. Only 19 percent of fantasy players selected Ray going into the card, although 64 percent of those did pick him by decision.

The upsets continued in the heavyweight featured bout on the main card in Belfast, as newcomer Alexander Volkov edged out Tim Johnson in a three round battle.

Volkov only had 39 percent of fantasy players picking him going into the fight, but those who did earned an extra 40 points as it was his UFC debut on Saturday.

Artem Lobov also earned an upset victory in his fight with Teruto Ishihara, with only 42 percent of players picking him to win. Lobov had arguably his best performance to date as he punished Ishihara consistently over three rounds to earn the decision victory.

Jack Marshman kept the trend of upsets going with his stunning knockout over Magnus Cedenblad in the featured prelim after just 29 percent of fantasy players picked him to win. Much like Volkov on the main card, Marshman added another 40 points for players picking him to win as he was also making his UFC debut.

The favorites got back on track the rest of the way, with all eight participating in the remaining bouts on the card coming through with victories.

Among the most impressive performances were Kyoji Horiguchi taking down Ali Bagautinov after three rounds while Kevin Lee was ultra impressive with his victory over Magomed Mustafaev.

The biggest favorite of the card was Marion Reneau, with 81 percent of players picking her to defeat Milana Dudieva, and she put on a stifling performance to earn the TKO victory.

All told, nine favorites walked away victorious versus only four upsets according to fantasy players picking the UFC Fight Night card in Belfast.

As for the show in Brazil, Ryan Bader put on a blistering performance to TKO Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in the third round as the light heavyweights met in the main event of the evening. Bader had actually defeated Nogueira once before in 2010, but this time around he put on an even more impressive showing.

Fantasy players had this matchup well scouted, with 89 percent picking Bader and another 75 percent saying he would win by knockout.

The co-main event was even more lopsided, with 94 percent of play-

ers picking Thomas Almeida to beat second-time UFC fighter Albert Morales. Almeida earned a nasty second round TKO to get back on track following a tough loss in his last fight to Cody Garbrandt.

While Almeida was a lopsided favorite, Claudia Gadelha actually had him beat with a whopping 95 percent of players picking her in her fight with Cortney Casey on the main card.

Gadelha certainly proved the fantasy players correct as she dominated Casey over three rounds en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Two more heavy favorites also came away victorious in Brazil, with Kamaru Usman taking out highly touted Brazilian prospect Warlley Alves after 62 percent of players picked him to win, while Sergio Moraes had an impressive showing against Zak Ottow after 75 percent of players selected him ahead of the event.

The only upset on the main card came in the middleweight division, as Krzysztof Jotko had a very solid night against former title challenger Thales Leites after only 22 percent of players selected him in that particular matchup.

In the prelims, Cezar Ferreira got a big win after 67 percent of play-

ers picked him in the fight with Jack Hermansson, while Johnny Eduardo earned a TKO victory over Manvel Gamburyan, with 65 percent of players selecting him in that bantamweight matchup.

While the upsets were few and far between on both shows, newcomer Gadzhimurad Antigulov got a big win over Marcos Rogerio de Lima in his debut. Only 19 percent of players had Antigulov getting the win, but those points were huge because he also earned them another 40 points since it was his first fight in the UFC. The early prelims saw the other two upsets on the card, as Pedro Munhoz submitted Justin Scoggins with only 24 percent of players picking him, while Darren Stewart earned a TKO victory over Francimar Barroso after only 32 percent selected him on Nov. 19. Stewart was another fighter making his debut, so that also earned yet another 40 points for the players who picked him.

All told, eight favorites got wins in Brazil against four upsets on the 12-fight card. That means altogether, 17 favorites came away victorious between the two UFC cards on Nov. 19, with eight upsets occurring over 25 total fights.
