clinic.Thomas gave a brief history of the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s life, achievements, and legacy.

“Dr. King’s leadership was fundamental to reversing the legal segregation, separation and unequal treatment of Americans throughout the South,” said Thomas.“His was the template upon which the world sees the civil rights laws.”

Thomas further stated how King’s legacy“continues to live on.” He quoted that Martin Luther King Day was first observed in 1986 but it was not accepted in all of the states until 2000.This year marks the nation’s 26th year celebrating King’s life.

In an emotional rendition, an excerpt from

WASHINGTON (NNS) — As announced by NAVADMIN 025/12, released Jan. 20, the Navy will offer voluntary early retirement to certain Sailors separating due to the Enlisted Retention Board (ERB).

The National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law Dec. 31, 2011, reinstated the authority for the Department of Defense to implement Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) for Sailors who have completed at least 15 years of service.TERA is a temporary, voluntary program that offers voluntary early retirement at a reduced monthly retirement pay to eligible members with 15 to 20 years of active service.

“Our Sailors have served honorably and our Navy is committed to doing all we can to help them and their families successfully transition to the civilian sector,” said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) (SS/SW) Rick D.West.

“We have aggressively pursued the option to offer early retirement benefits to eligible Sailors sinceTemporary Early Retirement Authority was granted.This is the right thing to do, and it ensures we provide the strongest possible transition benefits to those who qualify for retirement under TERA.” Sailors who will have completed at least 15 years of active service as of Sept. 1, 2012, and who were considered, but not selected for retention by the ERB, will be eligible for early retirement benefits under TERA. Eligible Sailors who desire early retirement

Chaplain’s

Corner

Turning to God

BY LT. CMDR. BOB CHRISTIAN Strike Fighter Wing Chaplain Little Johnny was walking along the railroad tracks one day when suddenly he got his foot caught under one of the railroad ties. He tried to get it out but it was really stuck.As he struggled to free his foot, he heard a noise and turned around.To his horror he saw a train coming and started to pray,‘God, please get my foot out of these tracks and I’ll stop being bad.’

Nothing happened, his foot was still stuck and the train was getting closer. He prayed again,‘God, please get my foot out and I’ll stop swearing and being bad.’ Again, nothing happened and he could not get his foot free.

The train was just seconds away and Little Johnny struggled frantically as the train’s horn blared. He cried out in desperation,‘God, please, if you get my foot out of the tracks, I’ll quit being bad, I’ll stop swearing and I’ll stop skipping school.’ Just as the train was about to hit Johnny, his foot broke free and he fell backwards, the train narrowly missing him. He got up, dusted himself off,looked toward Heaven and said‘Thanks anyway God, I got it myself.’

Many of us have done the same thing as Little Johnny when we get ourselves in a fix. We pray to God for help and then when things work out like we hoped we assume that it would have worked out anyway and move on from God. Until, of course, the next traumatic thing happens in our life. One of the privileges that I have as a chaplain is listening to the struggles and burdens that people experience. I say it is a privilege because I feel honored that people will let me in on the difficulties they are facing.

As chaplains we provide a safe place for someone to talk and be heard.As I listen, I am aware that the number one thing a person in crisis needs to do is allow God to come alongside and be our source of comfort and encouragement.

The Scriptures remind us that God is an ever-present help in our times of need. Even though some feel as if God is to blame for what he did or did not do, turning from him only serves to aggravate the problem. God has been in the emotional-healing business an awfully long time,the sooner we turn to him,the sooner we get the complete help that we need.

SECNAV recognizes World War II vet STORY/PHOTO BY MCC(AW) SAM SHAVERS Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (NNS) — Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus, presented the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device to a former Sailor during a ceremony on Moffett Field in Mountain View, Calif., Jan. 17.

Mabus presented the long-awaited medal to Carl E. Clark, a 95-year-old African-American for his actions during World War II. “Mr. Clark’s service was honorable, but his DD-214 was missing one entry,” Mabus said.

“Today, we will add that final official entry that has been missing from his record for almost exactly two-thirds of a century.That entry will record that Carl E. Clark has been awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with the Combat V”.

Clark, then a ship’s steward first class, was working in the officer’s mess aboard the destroyer minelayer USS Aaron Ward (DM 34) when Japanese kamikazes attacked his ship May 3, 1945.

The Ward’s gunners shot down some of the kamikazes, but six planes and three of their bombs hit the ship on the port side of the main deck, igniting an instant firestorm upon impact.

According to Clark’s Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal citation, he was slammed against the overhead from the impact of the first kamikaze attack.

He then headed out of the passageway and watched the second plane as it slammed into the port side. Unaware that the men on his damage control team were killed, he manned a fire hose fighting raging fires while kamikaze planes continued to crash into the deck and infrastructure.

“Imagine being in a battle like that. Imagine being a member of that crew, engulfed in fire and water, while relying on training and experience to conquer your fear

Navy Announces Disestablishment of SEAL LDO Designator From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON,Tenn. (NNS) — Navy has announced the phase-out of the SEAL Limited Duty Officer (LDO) designator, officials said Jan. 17.

with determination,” said Mabus “Carl Clark not only can imagine it, he lived it.”

Mabus also said Clark now officially joins other pioneers like the Golden 13, the Tuskegee Airmen and the Montford Point Marines; African-Americans who proudly represented the Navy and their nation, even during a time when their nation did not always live up to the ideals they served to protect.

“Carl Clark will tell you that he doesn’t consider himself a hero. He says,‘I only did the best I could in a very ugly and demanding situation,’” said Mabus.

“Well, Carl, we here consider you a hero. America considers you a hero and I am proud to offer this symbol of thanks from a grateful Navy and nation,” said Mabus, just prior to presenting Clark with his medal.

The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), the honorable Ray Mabus, greets retired Chief Petty Officer Carl E. Clark, just before presenting him with the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation medal with Combat Distinguishing Device. Mabus presented the medal to the 95-year-old Clark for his actions during World War II. tablishment will occur in two phases.

During the first phase, current SEAL LDOs may convert to the SEAL unrestricted line officer designator based on defined criteria. Some SEAL LDOs may continue to serve in the LDO capacity until retirement if that date fits within billet conversion timelines. Implementation will be managed by the SEAL officer community manager.

In the second phase, beginning in fiscal year 2013, Navy will begin converting SEAL LDO billets to SEAL chief warrant officer billets or SEAL unrestricted line officer billets.

Billet conversion will occur through fiscal year 2017.

SEAL LDOs may contact the SEAL officer community manager and SEAL officer detailer for individual career counseling to ensure the best possible individual decision for career success while integrating their skill sets into the naval special warfare community.

CMS/ID CAC login makes life easier for Sailors From Navy Personnel Command/Sea Warrior Program Public Affairs MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) — An upgrade to Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID), the web-based program enlisted Sailors use to negotiate permanent change of station orders (PCS) has improved new Sailor access by simplifying log-in procedures, ofďŹ cials said Jan. 18. “Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest impacts,â€? said Donald Pellinen, CMS/ID project director.“That's what happened when the CMS/ID technical team enabled users to access the CMS/ID application using their command access card (CAC).â€?

Before this seemingly simple enhancement, Sailors, detailers and other new users of CMS/ID had to login to the system using a password and their social security number. CMS/ID was yet another system that required Sailors to create and save login credentials, like a user name and password, which they had to remember for the rest of their naval career; an unrealistic expectation given the system is used on an “as needed� basis, which sometimes could be only during the orders negotiation process every three to four years. “Sailors usually call the CMS/ID help desk an average of 500 calls per month with 50

percent of the calls for password reset,� said Pellinen.“Leadership asked us to see if there was anything we could do to reduce the help desk calls related to password resets.�

Improving and streamlining information technology to generate business efďŹ ciency is a critical goal.Opportunities to maximize technology in order to make business tasks faster and easier frees up Sailors' time to focus on their mission at hand, according to Pellinen. “One month after implementing the CAC login we received only 17 help desk calls requiring assistance in accessing CMS/ID,â€? said Pellinen.

CMS/ID has evolved over the years from a basic job advertising website to a core career management tool. Sailors can view aspects of their personnel information, search for job opportunities, update duty assignment desires and submit applications for their next duty assignment. “Much of the functionality found in CMS/ ID is a direct result of input and request from Sailors and career counselors,� said Pellinen.

Sailors can learn more about using CMS/ ID and access the web site by clicking the “Career Management System� link on the Navy Personnel Command web site at www.npc.navy.mil.

Tuskegee Airman visit CNATTU STORY/PHOTOS BY AMAN LENEA JOHNSON Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Site oceana Public Affairs Members of Tidewater Chapter Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., visited NAS Oceana, January 17, to show the documentary Double Victory.The documentary was created by Lucasfilm to be paired with the debut of Red Tails, which opened in theaters January 20 which is executive produced by George Lucas. Double Victory and Red Tails detail the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American aviators in the United States who fought in World War II as part of the 99th, 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, comprising the 332nd Fighter group, the 477th Bombardment Group and their Support Groups. The Tuskegee Airmen are comprised of pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance, support staff, and instructors who fought fascism in Europe while fighting for civil rights in Amer-

ica. The documentary is narrated by Cuba Gooding Jr., who also stars in Red Tails, and features interviews with living Tuskegee Airmen interspersed with wartime footage.

After the documentary was shown in the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Oceana auditorium, attendees had the rare opportunity to speak with several of the Documented Tuskegee Airmen of the Tidewater area. Also in attendance was Master Sgt. Curt Clarke, the Senior Enlisted Marine at CNATTU and the Tidewater Chapter President of the Montford Point Marines Association, a veteran organization established to perpetuate the legacy of the first African Americans in the United States Marine Corps from 1942 1949 at Montford Point Camp, New River, N.C. “I learned a lot of information. It really makes me admire the strength of those who overcame their situations back then,” said Aviation Support Equipment Technician 3rd Class Eric O’Neal who attended the viewing on Tuesday.

— Continued from Page 1 under TERA must submit an application.As TERA is not an entitlement, all eligible members must apply to receive benefits, and all applications may not necessarily be approved. Eligible Sailors who wish to apply for TERA will have their ERB results held in abeyance to facilitate their application for voluntary retirement.

Navy Personnel Command (NPC) will contact every eligible Sailor or their command to ensure all eligible sailors are aware of this benefit.

A NAVADMIN outlining detailed application procedures for voluntary early retirement is forthcoming.

Sailors whose TERA application is approved will be retired voluntarily no later than Sept. 1, 2012, and will not be entitled to involuntary separation pay (ISP). However, Sailors will remain qualified for enhanced ERB transition benefits until their retirement date.

“We strongly encourage Sailors who are eligible for voluntary early retirement under TERA to discuss this option with their families and with their command retention team,” said Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk. “Additionally, we’re encouraging Sailors to continue to take advantage of the multitude of transition assistance benefits and resources available to them during the next few months.”

Sailors eligible to apply for early retirement should request to remain in the Navy through Sept. 1, 2012. As referenced in NAVADMIN 025/12, NPC is now accepting Short Term Extension (STE) requests to extend a Sailors Soft End of Active Obligated Service (SEAOS) to Sept. 1, 2012, to ensure eligible Sailors have the opportunity to receive TERA benefits. Sailors should submit a request for an STE to PERS-81 via e-mail to pers-81(AT)navy.mil for expedited processing and approval. Because of their timesensitive nature, commands are encouraged to expedite these requests.

Once program application procedures are established, Sailors may still be able to separate prior to Sept. 1, 2012 if their application is approved and they have accumulated 15 years of service.

ERB Sailors who will reach 15 years of service after Sept.

1, 2012, will not be eligible for TERA and must separate in accordance with ERB policies no later than Sept. 1, 2012, or at the end of their operational deferment, as applicable.

For more information on the ERB visit the NPC Web page www.npc.navy.mil or contact the NPC customer service center at CSCmailbox@navy.mil or 1-866-U-ASK-NPC.

NAS Oceana air detachment realigns to Naval Station Norfolk STORY BY MCSN(SW/AW) MOLLY A. TREECE Navy Public Affairs Support Element East

Early retirement: Some ERB Sailors eligible

A disestablishment and realignment ceremony was held on board Naval Station Norfolk, Jan. 20.

The command formerly known as NAS Oceana Air Detachment Norfolk was disestablished and realigned becoming Naval Station Norfolk Chambers Field.

Capt. Mary M. Jackson, commanding officer, Naval Station Norfolk, relieved Capt. Jim Webb, NAS Oceana’s commanding officer, during the ceremony.

“My expectations and our commitments will not change,” said Jackson.“Good principles and values are important to ground us in what we do everyday.”

Due to budgetary constraints and the availability of commercial transport,it was determined that the UC-12 Huron who had served the Navy since 1979 providing passenger support, light cargo and medical evacuation services, was no longer needed.

On Sept. 19, 2011, the final UC-12 Huron belonging to NAS Oceana Air Detachment Norfolk was transferred to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, marking the end of an era in naval aviation.

Rear Adm.Townsend G.Alexander, commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, expressed his gratitude to the disestablished command during the ceremony.

“Men and women, both Navy and civilians from Air Det

Oceana, soon to be air operations department Chamber’s Field, thank you for what you do each and everyday,” said Alexander. “I do believe this arrangement is a good one, and it’s time to move forward in a new direction.”

Capt. James D. Webb, commanding officer, Naval Air Station Oceana, addresses the audience during a disestablishment and realignment ceremony on board Naval Station Norfolk.

Air Operations and Chambers Field are being realigned from Oceana to Naval Station Norfolk.

Celebration: Oceana clinic remembers MLK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Continued from Page 1 read by Hospital Corpsman (HM) 1st Class Cedric Odom.

Hospital Corpsman (HM) 1st Class Fred Nti echoed Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech on how children â&#x20AC;&#x153;will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their characterâ&#x20AC;?and explained how he experienced tribalism and ethnocentrism as a child living in Ghana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inferior feeling of having another human being look at you and tell you â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you are not good enoughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because you look different,â&#x20AC;? said Nti. After joining the Navy 14 years ago, Nti shared how â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreamâ&#x20AC;? has inďŹ&#x201A;uenced his life and career in the Navy.

Nti noted that even though there is a generational gap between Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and younger Sailors today, Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream is still part of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. King had a dream, a dream that changed the human race for many years to come,â&#x20AC;? said Nti.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, I am a testimony of a dream that became a foundation of a place to live as people regardless of each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s color and background.â&#x20AC;?

Nti, who was recently accepted to the Medical Service

Corps, credits his success in life and the Navy to Dr. King. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beginning my career as a deck seaman, Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream paved the way for me to be able to go through the ranks and to be selected as a naval ofďŹ cer,â&#x20AC;? said Nti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My selection was based on the ability to contribute to the mission, not on my skin color. I was not looked upon as just another African-American male who is good enough to cook and clean after a bunch of hungry Sailors,â&#x20AC;? said Nti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can continue to facilitate freedom in our own way.â&#x20AC;?

The presentation, which included a luncheon, ended with closing remarks by Oceana Branch Health Clinic OfďŹ cer in Charge Cmdr. Martin Kerr, who also shared his experience.

Kerr, who is of Irish descent, asked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does a White man know about racism?â&#x20AC;?

Kerr expressed that even though he can never be in the shoes of African-Americans who have suffered racism and segregation, he can, however, share his experiences as a child facing religious segregation between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Kerr, who was raised as a Catholic, said that segregation in Belfast is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not about black and whiteâ&#x20AC;? but about the difference of names, religious ďŹ&#x201A;ags or the color of sidewalks that separated Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a little of what it is like to be judged not by the color of my skin, but what my faith is,â&#x20AC;? said Kerr.â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I know a lot about what it means to be judged, to have preferential treatment or not have preferential treatment.â&#x20AC;?

Kerr revealed the keys to equality: education,communication and eradication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody can take away your education and how you get ahead,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to talk about race; and the third thing is eradicate any type of hateful comments â&#x20AC;Ś.in all of our communities.â&#x20AC;?

Nti also expressed to Sailors to not only honor Rev. King but to also honor those who have assisted their successful Navy careers along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It then becomes your duty as a good citizen of our beloved country to do the same,â&#x20AC;? said Nti.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of us must search within ourselves for the good we can do for people. As Dr. King once said,â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the time is always right to do what is right; the time to do right is nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

Cmdr. David Thomas, the senior nurse at the NAS Oceana Branch Health Clinic, gave the opening remarks for the Clinicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, giving a brief history of the Nobel Peace Prize winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, achievements and legacy.
