aval Air Station Key West Search and Rescue was on a routine training flight Wednesday when the crew was called to respond to an emergency involving a diver in distress. “We were notified by the Coast Guard at 10:45 (a.m.) and were on scene by 10:48,” said Lt. Cody Harris, who was piloting the MH-60 helicopter along with co-pilot Lt. Timothy Blundell. “It was a regular day training flight,” he said. “We had literally just flown by the location when we were notified.” When the SAR team arrived, the victim, later identified as William Simko, 60, of Little Torch Key, was unconscious and unresponsive on the deck of a boat. People on board were performing CPR, Harris said. In minutes crew chief AWS2 Jordan Bethune and rescue swimmer AWS3 Javier Lopez had transferred Simko onto see sar page 4

‘Citizen Soldiers’ here to assist in drug interdiction program By Jolene Scholl Southernmost Flyer
C
itizen Soldiers serving with the Florida National Guard head home Saturday after spending the past two weeks supporting the state’s counter drug program. Although not part of the planned mission, the team
also assisted the Coast Guard local with extra eyes on the water during Wednesday and Thursday’s busy lobster mini-season, which drew thousands of boaters to the Keys. Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 151st Aviation Regiment arrived at Naval Air Station Key West’s Boca Chica Field July 18 from
their base in Jacksonville, Florida, not for training but to support local federal agencies. The last time the regiment had a mission in Key West was in 2009. The crew of 38 included pilots, crew chiefs, maintenance and support staff; 26 of those are citizen Soldiers serving their two weeks a year and 12 are full-time
soldiers assigned to the Florida National Guard. The regiment’s focus is to support the Florida National Guard Counterdrug Program by assisting federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and combatant commands. “Our customer down here see guard page 3

elcome, my friends, to the “dog days of summer.” We’ve tipped over into the latter half of the year, into the muggiest days of the hottest months that we tend to experience. So, congratulations! You’re sitting somewhere within seconds of 24°33’ N, and the heat and humidity that we experience here can be nothing short of sapping. Air conditioning and cold drinks are the order of the day. Get out on the water. Get in the water. Embrace the relative cool of the evening with that sea breeze that takes the edge off. Or it’s rainy and muggy. That, too. Dog days. They’re not just about the heat. I get curious about origins of words and phrases, and this one set me on a search. It was the Greeks. Ancients like Homer looked up and saw that the heat of the late summer always showed up in the months when Orion’s dog, Sirius (the Dog Star), began to be visible on the eastern horizon just before sunrise. It brought the heat and all manner of ills that came with
it, from spoiled food to illness. While they may have been off on causality, they apparently had a knack for naming things, and so we’re still talking about dog days more than three millennia later. The Greeks were right: Our lives are cyclical. The earth revolves around the sun once CHAPLAIN'S every 365 days CORNER or so, rotating on its axis approximately once every 24 hours, the cycles marked by calendars and clocks. Coast Guard Sector Key West And upon these Command we impose other Chaplain cycles, cycles Lt. within and on Jason Dart top of cycles: a tour of duty, perhaps, or a watch schedule, or a menu rotation. There’s a flow. We tend to start a cycle with energy and optimism. Things are new and fresh. Then they become routine and well-managed. If we’re not careful, though, routine can become drudgery. But as cycles go, this often gives way to excitement again, as we approach the end of whatever cycle it is, anticipating the end of the old and the beginning of the next. Rinse, repeat. So here we are, in the middle of the year: The dog days. So how
are you doing? Many of us started this year with hopefulness, resolving to do things different or better this time. Are you on those goals like a pit bull on a porterhouse, or are they dogging you about? Are you happy as a dog with two tails, or are you dog tired? Are you as sick of dog idioms as I am by now? It’s easy to fall into a slump. It’s not hard to get complacent and lose focus. There are plenty of things around us each day that can really check our motivation. We all know this, but as I was reminded growing up, “Knowing is half the battle.” Stand up. Stretch. Reach out to someone. Find that small spark of motivation. Bring someone in who can help to fan that spark back into the flame it was - and can be again. You can try and white-knuckle it on your own, but chances are good that’s how it got away in the first place. Dog days don’t have to be sapping. They can be reinvigorating, opportunities to refocus. Shameless plug: Your chaplains are standing by to help in any way we can. Reach us at (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or (305) 2928788, Coast Guard Sector Key West.

is Customs and Border Protection,” said 151st Commanding Officer Capt. Eric Anderson. While here, crews were busy patrolling the waters off the Florida Keys on the lookout for drug smugglers and other illicit activity occurring on the water. The regiment also supports Customs and Border Protection in its effort to interdict illegal immigrants attempting to make their way to Florida. “We did see a homemade float with eight people aboard,” Anderson said. That information was relayed to the agency. “We are a force multiplier,” he added, while discussing the regiment’s role in supporting other agencies. “We provide additional visibility … we see from up there what’s going down on the water.” The regiment flies the UH-72 Lakota helicopter, a utility helicopter than can carry a crew of three or four. It carries a camera pod and the crew chief runs the console and camera. “This is outfitted to support the mission,” said Anderson, who added that flights typically last about three hours. Florida’s National Guard has other aircraft, like the Chinook helicopter and UH-60 helicopter, which support other aspects of the guard’s overall mission, Anderson said. Once home, the citizen Soldiers will return to their day jobs, which for Anderson is as an aviation maintenance manager for a private company.

a rescue basket and into the helicopter, where medical technician HM2 Patrick Shea continued resuscitation efforts. “The total evolution from
notification to the hospital was about 15 minutes,” Harris said. Unfortunately, Simko never regained coconsciousness. The SAR team had decided to keep their training flight close to home, “in light of it being mini-sea-
son,” Harris said. Law enforcement officials noted thousands of visitors flocked to the Keys for mini-season and were on the water in search of lobster, he said. NAS Key West’s SAR team has made a number of civilian rescues at sea,
most recently last fall. While training near the Tortugas in 2013, the team spotted more than a dozen Cuban migrants stranded on a sand spit. The crew dropped water to them and notified the Coast Guard of their location.

Learn the ABCs of detecting skin cancer From Naval Hospital Jacksonville
T
his week’s “Ask the Doc” column answers questions about skin cancer, which is a concern for anyone living in the Keys who spends time outdoors and on the water. Question: How common is skin cancer? Answer: One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. Question: How do I know if I have skin cancer? Answer: It’s important to conduct annual selfcheckups to identify any concerning moles or growths (sometimes referred to as
“lesions”). Early identification and treatment of skin cancer can lead to better outcomes. When conducting self-checks, remember to check non-common areas such as the hairline, armpits, back, bathing suit areas, and soles of the feet. If necessary, use a mirror to see those hard to reach areas, or simply ask a friend to help. A simple way of identifying potentially malignant (cancerous) lesions is to remember the A-B-C-D-E model: Asymmetry: identify the shape of the skin lesion. A perfect circle is a symmetric shape; an irregular shape would be abnormal. Border: determine the border of the skin lesion. Normal is smooth; abnormal is jagged or uneven. Color: uniform is normal;
multi-colored within the same skin lesion is abnormal. Diameter: over six millimeters, or a quarter of an inch wide (about the size of a pencil eraser), is considered abnormal. Evolution: skin lesions that grow or change colors over time are abnormal. Bottom line, if you show any signs of the A-B-C-DEs, or you are unsure if a skin lesion is abnormal or not, schedule an appoint-
ment with your primary care provider for further evaluation. “Ask the Doc” is written by providers from Naval Hospital Jacksonville’s hospital and five branch health clinics in Florida and Georgia. If you have a question for a physician, dentist, pharmacist, or optometrist that you’d like to see published, please send it to usn. jacksonville.navhospjaxfl. list.public-affairs@mail.mil.
