he Navy joins the nation in recognizing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride month during the month of June. Established by Presidential Proclamation in 2000, LGBT Pride Month is held annually and recognizes the importance of diversity within our society as well as the many achievements of LGBT individuals. This year’s theme is celebration, and calls Americans to eliminate prejudice and celebrate our diversity. “Americans have always worked to fulfill that exceptional promise made at our founding,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. “We have continually broken down artificial barriers to equal opportunity ... Our military forces have followed that same history and made themselves stronger and better and more effective because of it.” This June, the Navy recognizes LGBT service members and civilians for their see PRIDE page 3

he mercury is rising, hurricane season begins June 1, and beaches are buzzing. Summer is one flip on the calendar away, and that means it’s time to take a
minute and consider some personal safety tips. The is also the “101 Critical Days of Summer,” a time when our Sailors and Marines are at a high risk of injury and death. The Navy Safety Center defines the “101 Critical Days of Summer” as the
period between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is during this time of year more people are participating in events which could be hazardous if proper precautions are not taken. According to Ron Williamson, the Navy Region Southeast safety
manager, taking the time to focus on safety is important because lives can be at risk, and by targeting junior Sailors who are the most at-risk group, lives may be saved. “The main targets we do see SAFETY page 5

T June 3 1949 - Midshipman Wesley A. Brown becomes the first African-American to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy.
June 4 1942 - The Battle of Midway begins. The battle is a decisive win for the U.S, bringing an end to Japanese naval superiority in the Pacific.
June 5 1794 - The first officers of the U.S. Navy under the new United States Constitution are appointed. All of whom supervised the building of the fleet.
June 6 1944 - Allied forces land troops on Normandy beaches for the largest amphibious landing in history, Operation Overlord (D-Day).
June7 1944 - The construction of artificial harbors and sheltered anchorages, also known as Mulberries, begins off the Normandy coast.
June 8 1943 - TBF aircraft from USS Bogue (ACV 9) damage German submarine (U 758) west by south of the Canary Islands.
June 9 1882 - The Office of Naval Records of the War of the Rebellion (which later becomes part of the Naval History and Heritage Command) is established.
he date was June, 6 1944. Seventy-two years ago this week, Operation Overlord commenced. A combined force of American, British, French, Canadian, and other Allied troops invaded Germanoccupied territory in Western Europe. Supported by massive aerial bombings and naval gunfire, airborne infantry dropped into occupied France; and Soldiers, Sailors, and Coast Guardsman carried out the largest amphibious assault that had ever been attempted. Operation Neptune was the name for the offensive that took place on June 6. This was that bloody assault on the beach at Normandy. Five beachheads in all: Gold, Juno, Omaha, Sword, and Utah. A heavily-fortified German army held the high ground. They had the beach below them amply covered by machine guns, mortars, and artillery emplacements. German tanks were ready to repel the Allied invasion force. And at 6:30 that morning Allied forces began landing in waves across a 50-mile beach, determined to gain a foothold in Western
Europe from which to drive back the German invaders and ultimately to win the war. This day was the culmination of more than a year of planning. It took significant coordination to use joint forces as they needed: bombers and battleships to prepare the battle space; Army Airborne troops CHAPLAIN'S dropping deep CORNER into enemy territory; landing craft with their Navy and Coast Guard coxswains, delivering Soldiers to Coast Guard Sector Key West the beach and Command retrieving the Chaplain wounded; Navy Lt. ships and Coast Jason Dart Guard cutters, laying down fire and rescuing Sailors from sinking ships; comprehensive misinformation and deception operations. It was an enormous undertaking. And they paid dearly for it. The Allies sustained more than 10,000 casualties that day. The dead on both sides topped 4,400. But at the end of the day, the Allies were in Western Europe. Germany’s occupation of France was in jeopardy, and the tide had turned significantly in Europe. When I reflect on the events
of that day and their meaning I’m astounded. And that’s not even a strong enough word for what I feel. Hollywood has given us approximations of that day in movies and television, and as realistic as these may be, they are merely recreations. I’ve seen pictures of the rows of tombstones in the cemetery at Normandy and my words catch in my throat. When I write about events, I generally try to find a life lesson within them. I’m sure they abound in this. But for me as I write now, the lesson is not on the value of teamwork. For me now it’s not about the value of a well-laid plan. For me, right now, it’s simply that it happened. Men and women answered the call and went out to confront evil faceto-face: on the battlefield, in the factories, in the hospitals, wherever they could play their parts. They saw what needed to be done, and those who came home did so to enjoy the fruits of this terrible and vital labor. As the years pass the opportunities are less frequent, but occasionally we see them, the old vets with their WWII hats on. As a friend of mine once said, “When you see one you stop, introduce yourself, and listen.”

Naval hospital tells Sailors to take charge for Men’s Health Month YAN KENNON
Naval Hospital Jacksonville Senior Writer
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the top five leading causes of death among men are heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury, chronic lower respiratory disease and stroke. Heart disease is number one, causing 25 percent of male deaths in the U.S. June is Men’s Health Month,
a time to encourage early detection and treatment of disease. “Many of the health challenges men face are preventable and treatable,” said Cmdr. Duneley Rochino, Naval Branch Health Clinic Key West officer in charge. “We’re dedicated to the health and readiness of our active and retired service members, as well as their families.” Here are tips to take charge of one’s health: Insufficient sleep can be associated with a number of condi-
tions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. One’s sleep needs change with age; 7 - 9 hours is ideal for adults. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of death and disease in the U. S. - killing more than 480,000 Americans each year. It’s never too late to quit. Quitting produces immediate and long-term benefits; it lowers the risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease and other illnesses. Avoid
second-hand smoke, which can also cause heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke. More than one-third of U.S. adults are obese. Adults should get at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week and muscle-strengthening activities at least two days a week. Work all major muscle groups including legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms. see HEALTH page 4

Our force comes from a diverse populous, and we are simply better at what we do when we are more diverse. We want individu-

Our goal is to ensure that the mission is carried out by the best-qualified and the most capable service members.” For service members, repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in 2011 allowed gay, lesbian and bisexuals to serve openly in the United States Armed Forces.

ailors who are starting or expanding their families now have a mobile app that will provide resources that will help them understand Navy’s pregnancy and parenthood policies, launched May 27. The Navy Pregnancy and Parenthood app, available for both Android and iOS/ Apple devices, provides important Navy guidance for Command leadership,
as well as Service members who are starting or expanding their families. “Pregnancy and parenthood can be compatible with a successful military career when Service members and the Command both understand their roles and responsibilities, said Capt. Candace Eckert, director of N1 Diversity. “This app makes that task easier by identifying regulations, instructions and references from a wide variety of sources and offering them in one easy-to-use app. The app includes information
regarding assignments, retention, separation, standards of conduct and much more.” Some of the topics included in the Pregnancy and Parenthood app are roles and responsibilities, planning, contraception, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, healthcare benefits, breastfeeding, physical readiness, maternity uniforms, adoption, leave, operational deferment and separation from service. The app also offers a selection of references and resources.
Sailors and Command leadership are responsible for understanding Navy policies and procedures regarding pregnancy and parenthood. This app is a resource to help all Navy personnel understand actions required by everyone. Sailors will find information regarding many of the personal and professional responsibilities that come with parenthood while serving in the Navy and how to understand what needs to happen when and how to accomplish it.

Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day, as they are sources of many vitamins and minerals that protect against disease. Choose healthy snacks and limit food and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat and alcohol. Physical or emotional tension is often a sign of stress. Sometimes stress can be good, helping develop skills needed to manage potentially threatening situations. Stress can also be harmful, if it leads to feeling overwhelmed or out of control. Manage stress with self-care and social support. Avoid drugs and alcohol, stay active, stay socially connected, and find support. Patients should see their Medical Home Port team for regular checkups. Checkups can help diagnose issues early, before they become a problem and sometimes before symptoms appear. Ask the doctor what screenings are needed and when. Track personal numbers such as blood pressure,

for the stand downs are the active duty Sailors, E-3 to E-5, who make up 86% of accidents, but the information is good for everybody,” said Williamson. Last summer, 26 Sailors and Marines lost their lives. Eighteen deaths were traffic mishaps, and the other eight occurred during recreational activities, including drowning, falls, and a dune buggy accident. “The beginning of summer is a heavy driving season, which is also the peak season for auto, motorcycle and recreational off-
duty accidents. It’s a good time for everyone to focus on the 101 critical days of summer,” said Williamson. “And it’s more than a big campaign for the Navy, it’s about planning ahead and thinking safety first.” When traveling, it’s good to begin each road trip well-rested, to drive during daylight hours, and pull over if fatigued. Wearing a seatbelt drastically reduces the risk of serious injury or death, as does limiting distractions. Personnel can also utilize the TRiPS system to assess and mitigate their risks as a driver.
