OCEANA CHIEFS BEGIN NEXT CHAPTER OF CAREER

BY MCSN KAYLA KING NAS Oceana Public Affairs Singing “Anchors Aweigh,” chief petty officer (CPO) selectees at various commands on Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana marched into the Oceana Aerotheater Sept. 16 for the annual chief pinning.

NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt.

Kit Chope delivered the opening remarks.

“I feel like a proud papa or at least a crazy uncle today for these 47 selectees,” said Chope. “We are certainly going to always remember this day. This marks a momentous shift and a huge responsibility for these men and women … and a load of confidence by the United States Navy and by our nation.These 47 selectees have endured weeks of training and just last night, they culminated 18 hours of blood, sweat and tears to get to this stage this morning.”

“I hope you all take as much pride in their anchors today as they do. Congratulations on this most significant event.Your selection to chief is a renewed call to service,a call to serve your Sailors and a call to serve your chain of command … Not a call to serve yourself or special treatment or incentives. Remember where you came from because that defines who you are and how you’ll lead.Your chain of command is going to ask more of you now and expect you to be a role model 24/7, 365,” said Chope.

“People all notice what the chief petty officer does, no matter where he or she is. Live up to our time honor tenants of honor, courage and commitment. We are all proud of you and look forward to witACC (AW/SW) Amber Khoryati kneels down so that her anchor can be pinned on her collar by her daughter during the annual chief pinning ceremony at Oceana’s Aerotheater Sept.

Oceana observance commemorates 9/11 STORY/PHOTOS BY MCSN KAYLA KING NAS Oceana Public Affairs The chief petty officer selectees hosted a commemoration for the 13th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 outside the Naval Air Station Oceana Administrative Building.

The ceremony kicked off with a remembrance speech from Chief Air-Traffic Controller (select) (AW/SW) Amber Khoryati, attached to Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility Virginia Capes (FACSFAC VACAPES).

“Thirteen years ago on Sept. 11, 2001, the world was forever changed. Our way of life that embraces freedom and democracy was attacked,” said Khoryati.

“It is our honor and our duty to honor the 2,983 innocent men, women and children that died that day and all the responders that rushed to help them, who never thought twice about their own safety.These people were our neighbors; they were our friends, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, children and parents,” said Khoryati.“There are things of this generation we may never be able to unsee. I believe it is our duty and our obligation to ensure future generations know and understand the sacrifices that have been made to protect our freedom.

That is why we are here today.”

Following Khoryati were two guest speakers who were at Ground Zero on 9/11.

BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer As the sun set over the flightline on Sept. 18, Naval Air Station Oceana hosted the annual Prisoners of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) commemoration at the Flame of Hope Park, located on Oceana Boulevard.

NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope began by welcoming members of several community organizations who attended with active duty, DoD civilians and family members.

Having personally hosted the observance for three years, Chope noted how each year the attendance has increased and “that means a lot to me.”

As he acknowledged the sacrifices of those who have not yet returned home and remained unaccounted for, Chope said, “to each and every one of them, we owe an unending debt of gratitude for the sacrifices they made, the pain they endured and the hardships they suffered to ensure this flame of freedom behind us will never be extinguished.”

The third Friday in September has been designated as the annual National POW/MIA Recognition Day, a day for everyone to reflect on the sacrifices made and to honor

Oceana a familiar flightline for Blue Angels’ pilot

BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana is familiar territory for Blue Angels pilot Lt. Cmdr.

Nate Barton. After flying the EA-6B, he transitioned to the F/A-18 Super Hornet at Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106, just across the flightline from where he was interviewed by local media Sept. 18, prior to the start of the 2014 NAS Oceana Air Show, which was held Sept. 20 - 21.

Following his graduation and commissioning in 2002 from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at King’s Point, N.Y., Barton was selected for flight school in Pensacola, Fla. His naval aviation career began in the EA-6B Prowlers at NAS Whidbey Island and later transitioned to the Super

Hornets at Oceana. Following that, he also flew the EA-18G Growler, before being selected for the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels.

“One of the things we’re really excited about is a lot of us trained here, a lot of us are familiar with the area and NAS Oceana.Virginia Beach has a special place in our hearts,” said Barton about the Oceana Air Show.

Being at Oceana this week also gave Barton a chance to see several friends from Carrier Air Wing 1 right before the local aviators flew out to the aircraft carrier on Thursday.

As the interview paused for the Fleet Demo Practice by VFA-32, VFA-106 and Fighter Composite Squadron 12 taking place overhead, Barton noted how“the Su-

per Hornet demo will take place here for the first time this season, which is special for us because you have people around the Virginia Beach area who will get to see these pilots who fly here on a regular basis, people who call this place home.You’ll get to see them perform their Super Hornets to the edge of the envelope.”

Although Barton is in his second year on the team, where he flies left wing in jet 3, it’s really the first show season for him.

Federal budget constraints and sequestration forced the cancellation of military air shows in 2013.

“It’s been a great show season, the way the community has come out to see us fly. It’s really exciting for us, being back in the air … makes it really fun to fly,” said Barton. “It’s as fun as it looks when you see it this weekend.”

The Blue Angels fly F/A-18 Hornets which Barton explained were previously flown in the fleet and then converted to the familiar blue and gold color scheme.

“You’ll see them fly and demonstrate the close formation flying, characteristic of the F/A-18, which is really taught right here at Oceana … You’ll see our solos demonstrate the maximum performance capability of the F/A-18 in terms of Gs and airspeed.”

A native of Hummelstown, Pa., his interest in aviation began as an 8-year-old during a visit to an air show in Harrisonburg, Pa. Barton said it was his first opportunity to see military aircraft fly and he also met an F-14 Tomcat pilot.“That was something that was pretty special to me. It really put a

spark into my heart about aviation,”he said.

Because of the team’s mission, applying for the Blue Angels was an easy decision for the pilot who has really enjoyed flying throughout his 12 years in the Navy. He has more than 1,800 flight hours and 325 carrier-arrested landings and has flown in support of operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

“The thing that most of us appreciate or enjoy more than the flying is what we get to do as the Blue Angels and that’s showcase the pride and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps around the country,” said Barton. “… It is the opportunity to represent the 500,000 men and women who are currently deployed, serving our country, many of whom are in harm’s way.” which he added is something the team takes a lot of pride in doing.

Being on the road 300 days out of year, means Barton has gotten to see a lot of the country,something he has really enjoyed,although it does keep him away from his wife and three children. But he readily acknowledges how deployed military members have it much tougher than he does, saying, “I would never complain about being gone.”

Barton will remain on the team for another year and then return to the fleet.“All 130 members of the team, pilots and maintainers included, say ‘we come from the fleet, we’re going back to the fleet.’ That means I came from flying grey airplanes off grey aircraft carriers. That means I’m going back to flying grey airplanes off grey aircraft carriers.”

2014 NAVAL AIR STATION

Oceana Air Show ABOUT THE THEME This year’s Oceana Air Show partnered with the Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor program to bring attention to injured and seriously ill Sailors and Coast Guardsmen and the challenges they face. Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor is an outreach program which provides nonmedical assistance and support to both the military members and their families.

“There are many wounded warriors, folks in need who don’t know where to turn,” Chope said.

By partnering with the program, “we’ve helped folks who we will never meet.They may not know where they got the information but what’s important is that they did get the information about Navy Wounded Warrior.We’ve made a difference in people’s lives.”

“The show is about outreach. It’s about showing the public what we do. It’s about showing young men and women about what the Navy has to offer. It’s about showing the public a good show,” said Erie.

The centerpiece of this year’s air show was the tandem jump by three wounded warriors with the team from Skydive Suffolk. Marines Cpl. Tyler Southern, Sgt. Shawn Lopez and Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class (FMF) Jeremiah Harrold jumped during both Friday’s practice show and on Sunday. All three are now medically retired because of their severe injuries.

providing national exposure for the Navy’s Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor program and the Oceana Air Show. Henneberg planned to be part of Saturday’s wounded warrior Jump but when low cloud cover prevented the event, she remained at the show without her filming crew to take part in Sunday’s skydive.

The show kicked off on Friday with a day-long practice show for DoD ID card holders and invited guests, including members of the Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor Program, as well as those enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP).The two groups were hosted in a tent on the flightline with children’s activities, food and more, while they enjoyed the chance to watch the entire show in a less-crowded atmosphere.

Among the invited guests was Operations Specialist 1st Class (SW/AW) Franklin Grimes, whose wife Amy and daughter Abigail, 8 are both enrolled in EFMP. “This is a great program that a lot of families don’t know about … This really helps me out,” said Grimes, who is stationed at U.S. Fleet Forces Command.

“This is really awesome,” said Amy as she held their 8-week-old son Austin. The Grimes also brought Amy’s parents, David and Judy Harris, from Charlottesville,Va., who were also impressed with the special event for the family members.

“This is a lot of fun. It’s very, very entertaining,” said David Harris.

Master-at-Arms 1st Class David Hayes and Aviation Structural Mechanic 3rd Class Korrine Maher were among the members of the Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor program at Friday’s performance.

“They also take care off the families.They call to check on us a lot,” he aadded about his wife and children, who attended th he show with him.

They’ve opened quite a few doors for me.”

HIGH FLYING PERFORMANCES

Photo by Harry Gerwien Addison Thornburg, 5, watcches the air show from his grandfather David Van Daalen’s shoulders. They travelled from Alexandria, Va. tto see the Blue Angels.

The Geico Skytypers also brought attention to the Navy’s program by using their aerial writing ability to skyptype “Wounded Warriors” high in the sky, visible throughout the City of Virginia Beach.

The Skytypers are regular performers at Oceana.

“We’ve been blessed to be invited quite a few times.This is like a second home for us,” said Skytypers’ pilot Steven Kapur.

It was a sentiment Larry Arken, Skytypers owner and flight lead, shared. “It’s our home away from home. It’s the first show we flew at when we got the Geico sponsorship. It’s like a family here. It’s a great place.The people are terrific here.Virginia is a great state.We just enjoy coming back here all the time,” said Arken.

The team is based at Republic Airport in Long Island, N.Y., flying the North American SNJ-2s, built in 1940 and 1941. Pilots are a mixture of civilian and former military aviators.

The Geico Skytypers provided media rides, as well as including both Chope and Oceana Command Master Chief Eric Clark on their Saturday and Sunday flights.

“It opens the door into our world and lets them see what flying in a World War II fighter trainer is like. It’s a little taste of history,” explained Arken, who took over the Skytypers from his dad 20 years ago.

The NAS Oceana Air Show wouldn’t be complete without the Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels. Virginia Beach residents and visitors lined the roadways around Oceana beginning with the Blue Angels’Wednesday arrival for a chance to

up at the NAS Oceana fire station.The new emergency medical assistance provided by Sentara was credited in possibly saving two lives, according to District Fire Chief Ken Snyder, from Navy MidAtlantic Region Fire & Emergency Services. One visitor suffered a pulmonary embolism and another suffered a heart attack.

see the legendary diamond formation. Saturday’s rain held off long enough for the Blue Angels to get off the ground, although low clouds forced an abbreviated version of their performance.

Despite the rain, Saturday’s crowd remained at the show, including David Van Daalen and his grandson Addison Thornburg, who traveled from Alexandria,Va.to see the Blue Angels fly.Thornburg, 5, sat on his grandfather’s shoulders throughout much of the air show. Dressed in a green flight suit, the little boy said he loved planes, as Van Daalen said,“We wouldn’t miss the show.”

The air show director said performers such as the Blue Angels in the show’s lineup contribute to Oceana’s success, because “It gives the crowd a great appreciation for the different spectrum of aviation — whether it’s a glider,or an old Cessna or microjet.The crowd remains very interested.”

Performers made time to sign autographs,answer questions, and pose for photos with the crowd, especially the kids, who rushed to the front to meet their favorite performers. Because it was so well received by the audience, Erie said the crowd line engagement for all performers will be standard for future shows.

Chope was also very proud of the performers who entertained the hundreds of thousands of visitors over the three days.“They were just fun to watch,” he said.

AIR SHOW SAFETY With an air show as large as Oceana’s, safety is always a priority. For those who required medical attention, a mobile field hospital provided by Sentara Healthcare, was staffed with a doctor, trauma nurses and 14 beds. Because of traffic congestion during the air show, it adds extra time for the ambulances trying to transport patients off base.

By Sunday afternoon, 32 emergencies were treated almost immediately at mobile hospital, set

MIAs remembered at Oceana — Continued from page 5 POW/MIAs. “But for some, every day is POW/MIA Recognition Day,” noted Chope.

Because the NAS Oceana Air Show began on Sept. 19 with the practice show for DoD ID card holders and invited guests, the observance was held the evening before to allow for maximum participation by the active duty and civilians on base.

“We Americans in uniform today are inspired by the fierce resolve of generation of American prisoners of war.We also draw inspiration from their bonds of compassion, camaraderie and love that prompted our POWs to care for each other and sustain each other through terrible, terrible months and years of hardships.Those bonds are fundamental to the strength of the American military.They are fundamental to the strength of the American character. We protect each other and we vow to never leave a fellow service member behind,” said Chope.

Chope said we should be proud our nation has not forgotten the more than 83,000 service members unaccounted for.

While the number of service members being held as POWs or MIA is smaller in today’s conflicts than past generations, “these young men and women face the same perils.They know what they fight for and they need to continue to know that they have our unwavering support.”

Chope acknowledged how many veterans in the audience were not warmly welcomed home when they returned to the U.S. from past conflicts.“That was shameful.You deserved better … We cannot forget and we will not forget,” he said.

Chope was joined by Commander,Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic Capt. Mark Weisgerber in placing a wreath at the base of the monument, followed by members of the VFW Post 392 in Virginia Beach, Patriot Guard Riders and Military Order of the Cooties, each laying a wreath on behalf of their respective organizations. Colleen Lewis from VFW Post 392 read the names of Virginians who are still unaccounted for from the Korean Conflict,Vietnam War and the Cold War.The evening concluded with echo “Taps” played by two Navy musicians and the Patriot Guard Riders who stood around the monument presented colors.

The Patriot Guard Riders,which brought 22 members to the ceremony, is probably best known for shielding families from protestors during a military funeral, they show their respect to fallen heroes, their families and the community in many other ways.

While the organization is mostly veterans, membership is open to everyone, explained John Donaldson, D-5 ride captain, and retired Navy chief warrant officer. He said members are also not required to be motorcycle riders.

“We’re all veterans.We need to show respect to our brothers and comrades who have been held as prisoners of war or are missing.We can’t ever forget them and we need to know what’s happened to them,” explained Steven C. Williams, commander of VFW’s Gen. MacArthur Memorial Post 392, located near NAS Oceana’s back gate.

“It’s our way of saying we appreciate you’ve fought for our country to the POWs and for the MIAs, we’re hanging in there with you.”

Valor Run honors 160 women killed in combat

BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer Over the years, Nancy Lacore has always looked for ways to challenge herself, including joining ROTC in college, then learning to fly helicopters for the Navy after commissioning. But her latest challenge is to run 160 miles from Oct.. 12 - 18.

The Valor Run will honor the 160 military women who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Her goal is to raise $10,000 for the Women in Military Service for America Memorial and $25,000 for Wounded Wear, two non-profit organizations.

It was during a February visit to the Women’s Memorial in Washington D.C. that she came across information about each woman killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I had no sense of how many women we had lost,” explained Lacore, who spent 10 years on active duty as a naval aviator.

Now a captain in the Navy Reserves, Lacore is the commanding officer of Maritime Partnership Program Detachment

413, based out of the Naval Operational Support Center in Detroit.

“I was flipping through a book and they had put together a profile of each of the women we have lost,” said Lacore.

So moved by what she read, Lacore began thinking of ways to honor the women, which at the time numbered 159. Encouraged by her husband Patrick, a non-runner, who quickly reassured her with“Of course you can do that,” she came up with a plan to run a mile in honor of each woman.

When the number increased by one this summer, she added another mile to her route.

She chose Wounded Wear, based in Chesapeake, because of their mission to assist injured service members and their families through free clothing, garment modifications, community events and connections to opportunities. Lacore serves on Wounded Wear’s board of directors.

“Their primary mission is to help combat wounded but their secondary is for — See run next page

Fleet Week Golf Tournament

— Continued from previous page Gold Star families, for families of the fallen,� explained Lacore, about why more donations will go to Wounded Wear.

Lacore began her training with a combination of running and cross-training to “see how I was going to hold up.� She then put together a very detailed training plan for the next 36 weeks, which she explained is “modeled loosely on some training plans I found for ultramarathons.�

She’s received a lot of advice from friends and family — both for and against doing such a long distance, and sought advice from a local runner who ran the entire length of the East Coast to beneďŹ t charity.

A personal trainer incorporated ďŹ ve hours of strength training into her weekly plan. She runs two or three times each day and those runs can last anywhere from one to two and one-half hours. Over the course of several months, she has worked up to about 65 miles a week.

To remain injury-free,an entire week of rest after every 12 weeks was built into

NAS Oceana will host the Fleet Week Golf Tournament at Aeropines Golf Club Oct. 9.

The tournament begins at 10:30 a.m. with registration, followed by a shotgun start at noon and concludes with a dinner at 5 p.m. that includes awards for longest drive, closest to the pin and door prizes.

The entry fee of $55 per person includes green fees and cart, lunch and dinner, on course beverages, goodie bags and free practice balls. Proceeds from the tournament beneďŹ t the NavyMarine Corps Relief Society.

Rise Above the Ordinary

her training.“The most important thing is don’t get hurt in training and so far, it’s working out for me. I’ve been injury-free,� said Lacore about her workouts.

During a family trip to New York over Labor Day weekend, Lacore made time to run on the George Washington Bridge. “I know I have to be in the best shape possible. People are counting on me, looking at me to see if I’m going to be able to do this,�she explained her motivation before the holiday.

Her run will focus in cities along the way, leaving from Wounded Wear’s new location and ending at the Women’s Memorial. She will run 25 miles in selected cities, up until the ďŹ nal day, where she will run 10 miles. Her route is built around recommendations from running clubs in each city, including using published routes.

Patrick, an active duty helicopter pilot, is planning on driving an RV through the entire trip, which will allow her to rest, with their six children expected to join them at the end of the run. Close friends have offered to accompany her at various points and others, who

have contacted her via Facebook, are also lending their support and she welcomes others to join her at any point throughout the run. “It would be great if I had company every mile just to break up the boredom,� said Lacore.

She began a mile sponsorship program as a way to get public interest in her run.

With about half of them now sponsored, Lacore said, “I really want to get every mile sponsored, so there’s a particular name attached to every mile.�

Mile 61 will be dedicated to Army Sgt. Amanda N. Pinson, 21, who died in Tikrit, Iraq on March 16, 2006. A friend who served with Pinson contacted Lacore and asked to run that mile in Richmond as a way to honor the fallen Soldier.

Donations have primarily been from individuals, which are starting to pick up as the date gets closer, and she now has a corporate sponsor.
