acebook, Twitter and basically every social media platform is riddled with pictures, videos and memes of the worldwide phenomenon Pokemon GO. Within one week, the app has millions

of users; in the same time, the app boosted Nintendo’s stocks nearly 65 percent. Although popular, the game comes with added security risks for Naval Air Station Key West and other military facilities. Pokemon GO, like many other apps, uses location data in the form of geotag-

Former nuke to ‘supply’ the skies of NAS

ging. The app features a photo option, which gives the company access to photos taken by users. “The concern is that any geotagging application has the potential to expose sensitive locations,” said NAS Key West Command Security Manager Lisa Patrocky. “Not only can it

expose that but also specific user activity.” According to an article released by Buzzfeed.com, the developer has the ability to collect a user’s email address, IP address, username and location. In addition, players who use a Google account to log in give the developer access

to their Google account, unless they specifically revoke access. The DOD released a statement Wednesday reminding players they aren’t permitted to travel into restricted areas in an effort to catch Pokémon. Service members see no go page 5

nspiration once again happened as I completed my run this past week. It was great to clear my mind after I was flooded with different situations and conflicting emotions this past weekend. I had someone close to me tell me that her husband was leaving her after 10 years of marriage; then a few days later, I celebrated 12 years of marriage with my wife. I finally received my official orders, which is a relief, but I have a lot to do before I leave in a short timeframe, which adds stress. Then there were the Dallas shootings and tragedy that caused devastation and heartache; nevertheless, I spent time with my wife and kids enjoying the pool, movies and church. What inspired me was not the run itself, it was what I saw at the end of my run. There was no rain that morning, but as I looked into the sky, I saw a rainbow between the clouds. It was then it struck me that in spite of the rollercoaster of events happening in my life, this country and around the world,

God’s promises remain. If you’re not familiar with this promise, God used a rainbow after flooding the Earth to promise Noah and humanity he would never flood the Earth like that again (Genesis 9). The rainbows we see in the sky are a way to remind CHAPLAIN'S us that God conCORNER tinues to keep this covenant for thousands of years despite all the evils humanity continues to practice. NAS Key West The Bible is Command Chaplain full of different promises for Lt. Ethan Everts those who are faithful; I don’t have room to write them all here. One of the greatest promises is found in Revelations 21 that describes a new heaven, Earth and Jerusalem. The promise is so great that it will be something you and I cannot comprehend fully. It will be a time of no more pain, sickness, sorrow, hunger, thirst nor death. It will be a time when God will dwell once again with us and the curse of Genesis 3 will be reversed. All these promises are here

for our benefit. When life seems so unstable we can reflect on the goodness and faithfulness of God and find ourselves standing on a solid foundation. I have found when those, deeply rooted in their faith, face calamity in their physical, emotional or mental arenas that they are more resilient than those who lose sight of God. This is why Paul directs us to think about the things that are true, honorable, just, pure and lovely (Philippians 4). This world broadcasts so many lies, dishonorable acts, injustices, evil and ugliness that we must intentionally think about the good; there is nothing better to think about than God and what promises we have. Do not fall into the trap of despair when we have hope that this world can never take away. A great place to ponder the promises of God is at our Protestant worship service on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at the Truman Chapel. If you need help in facing the devastation in this world and life, talk to your chaplain. Call us at (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or (305) 2928788, Coast Guard Sector Key West. God bless and remember the promises of God!

DOD issues guidance to personnel on political activity From the Department of Defense

uring the election cycle all DOD personnel military and civilian should be aware of the various limitations that exist when it comes to participation in political activity. Here is a quick summary of the rules and links to substantive guidance are included in the information below: Civilian Employees For DOD civilians, participa-

tion in political activity is regulated by a number of sources: The Hatch Act (5 USC 7321 - 7326), implementing regulations (5 CFR 733 and 5 CFR 734), as well as DOD policy. For purposes of the Hatch Act, political activity is defined as “an activity directed toward the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office or partisan political group.” Because the application of the rules varies depending on an employee’s position or office, it is extremely

important that employees who are engaging in political activity know which rules apply. With regard to civilian employees, there are two sets of restrictions for three groups of employees. The first and more restrictive set of restrictions applies to individuals appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate and individuals serving in non-career SES positions, and career members of the SES, contract appeals board members, and all employees of the

National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Geo-SpatialIntelligence Agency. The second and more lenient set of restrictions applies to all other employees. Employees in groups 1 and 2 are prohibited from taking an active part in partisan political management or political campaigns and are referred to as “further restricted” employees. Further restricted employees see dod page 4

school in 1996. Following basic training he attended machinist’s mate nuclear field “A” school and Nuclear Power School in Orlando, Florida. He went on to the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Charleston, South Carolina for machinist’s mate prototype training and engineering laboratory technician school. Andrews reported to his first submarine - USS Newport News (SSN 750) - in January 1998 and deployed the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf regions. In 2002, he returned to the Nuclear Power School as an instructor; while there he

was selected as Sailor of the Year and advanced to chief petty officer. In December 2005 Andrews reported to USS La Jolla (SSN 701) as the leading engineering laboratory technician. He conducted two Western Pacific deployments in which La Jolla earned two

Andrews

Battle Excellence awards. Andrews completed his bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology from Thomas Edison State College in June 2007 through the distance learning program. “My goal when I joined the Navy was to become a commissioned officer,” Andrews said. “As much as I enjoyed being a nuke on submarines, I finished my degree and felt it was time to change fields.” After researching different areas, Andrews said he chose supply. “I liked the different areas of logistics they had to offer to work in,” he said. “It does give me more family time, too.” And he said he likes that his department’s focus is

•3 on supporting combat air training. “As a child I wanted to be a Navy pilot but as you can see things didn’t turn out that way,” Andrews said. “I still love the thought of flying and one of my goals is to get my private pilot’s license in the future,” he added. He said he also has plans to complete a master’s in business administration or a master’s in education. After traveling the underwater seas and oceans, Andrews said he and his family are happy to return to their home state. “We’ve always wanted to visit Key West and now we’ve been given the opportunity to live here and experience everything it has to offer,” he said.

are expressly prohibited from participating in political activity. Specifically, further restricted employees are prohibited from engaging in any political activity which is “in concert” with a political party, partisan political group, or candidate for partisan political office. “In concert” activity is any activity that is sponsored or supported by a political party, partisan political group, or candidate for partisan political office. Prohibited activities also include soliciting or receiving political contributions. Further restricted employees may, however, express their personal opinions, make monetary contributions to a campaign, and attend, but not actively participate in, campaign events or fundraising functions sponsored by candidates for partisan political office or political parties. Less restricted employees, while in their personal capacities, may volunteer with a political campaign or political organization. Examples of permitted volunteer activities include:

•July 15, 2016 organizing political rallies and meetings, making phone calls on behalf of a candidate, serving as a delegate to a party convention, and working for a political party to get out the vote on election day. These employees are, however, prohibited from soliciting or receiving political contributions. Regardless of whether a civilian employee is further restricted or less restricted, she may never engage in political activity while on-duty or in a federal building. Specifically, an employee may not send or forward political emails, post political messages to a Facebook account or engage in political tweeting while in a Federal building (including when off-duty), even if the employee is using her personal smartphone, tablet, or computer. Employees should never use government equipment when engaging in political activities. Military Members The primary guidance concerning political activity for military members is found in DOD Directive 1344.10 [Guidance for Military Personnel]. Per longstanding DOD policy, active duty personnel may

not engage in partisan political activities and all military personnel should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DOD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign, or cause. Members on active duty may not campaign for a partisan candidate, engage in partisan fundraising activities, serve as an officer of a partisan club, or speak before a partisan gathering. Active duty members may, however, express their personal opinions on political candidates and issues, make monetary contributions to a political campaign or organization, and attend political events as a spectator when not in uniform. Social Media Civilian and military personnel may generally express their personal views on public issues or political candidates via social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, or personal blogs, much the same as they would be permitted to write a letter to the editor of a newspaper. If, when expressing a personal opinion, personnel are identified by a social media

site as DOD employees, the posting must clearly and prominently state that the views expressed are those of the individual only and not of the Department of Defense. As previously noted, active duty military members and further restricted civilian employees are prohibited from participating in partisan political activity. Therefore, while these employees may “follow” “friend” or “like” a political party or candidate running

for partisan office, they may not post links to, “share” or “re-tweet” comments or tweets from the Facebook page or twitter account of a political party or candidate running for partisan office. Such activity is deemed to constitute participation in political activities. Social media guidance for military member and civilian employees offers advice on how to avoid violating the rules. Service members must also be careful not to

comment, post, or link to material that violates the Uniform Code of Military Justice or service regulation. Examples include showing contempt for public officials, releasing sensitive information, or posting unprofessional material that is prejudicial to good order and discipline under the UCMJ. For more information on the Hatch Act or DoD Directive 1344.10, personnel should contact their local legal office.

Legendary ‘ace’ Navy pilot, 95, back in the air By MC2 Paolo Bayas Coronado NAF Public Affairs

95-year-old, 29 1/2year veteran famous for being the singleknown ace to achieve victories against both German and Japanese aircraft during WWII and later becoming a stunt pilot for 20th Century Fox film “Tora Tora Tora” in 1969, flew his 100th aircraft above “the birthplace of naval aviation,” July 9. Retired Cmdr. Dean “Diz” Laird served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam, operated in 175 combat and training missions, served on 12 different carriers, flew in the Navy’s first jet squadron, was the first person to land a jet-powered aircraft aboard USS Midway and has the most arrested landings on a straight-deck carrier. “I want to thank everyone who took part in making this happen,” said Laird. “When I found out that I was going to be able to do this, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it.”

Laird added that flying his 100th plane wasn’t for an achievement, medal or trophy. He wanted to set this milestone for himself. Laird flew in the rear seat of a T-34C Turbomentor with Lt. Cmdr. Nicole Johnson, a fleet replacement squadron instructor pilot with the “Flying Eagles” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 122. “I was so excited and honored to fly with a true legend, how many people

can say they flew with ‘Diz’ Laird,” said Johnson. “Then he had to make me look bad by being a better pilot at 95 [years old]. It is men like this that paved the way for the rest of us.” She continued to say that “aviation is a lot different now from what it was, especially when you think about how he is an ace. We train for air-to-air combat our whole career, but very rarely, in this day and age, does that actually happen.

It’s phenomenal to have just had a conversation and fly with him. It’s fantastic and an honor.” She added that flying 100 different aircraft is a tremendous achievement for any pilot. In comparison, Johnson has flown only 15 aircraft in her 12-year career as a pilot. The 95-year-old legend had some words of advice for younger naval aviators. He said that his “policy has always been that every fighter pilot has two main assets once they’re airborne. One is altitude and the other is speed. Never give up one, without gaining something on the other.” During the flight Laird and Johnson flew off the coast of San Diego for a little bit of sightseeing followed by conducting a few aileron rolls in a training area before coming in for a landing. Laird has been recognized on Coronado’s Avenue U.S. Navy photo by MC2 Paolo Bayas of Heroes and continues Retired Cmdr. Dean ‘Diz’ Laird, center, stands in the rear seat of a T-34C Turbomentor with the ‘Flying Eagles’ of Strike Fighter to actively participate in Squadron (VFA) 122. The T-34C marks the 100th aircraft Laird Naval Aviation organizations. has flown in his 95-year lifetime.
