Celebrating Makahiki Rear Adm. rian ort commander avy Region Ha aii and aval Surface roup iddle Pacific fourth from left and apt. arc elao Ha aii commanding officer fifth from left paddle to Rainbo ay arina during the th annual akahiki estival ov. . MCC Donald W. Randall Navy Region Hawaii Regional Operations Center The annual Makahiki was celebrated at Rainbow Bay Marina, Nov. 3. The Makahiki, or Thanksgiving festival, featured ho‘okupu (gift) presentations, cultural demonstrations and ancient traditional games. The event was free and open to the public. Guests from Native Hawaiian organizations included the Royal Order of Kamehameha, Ali‘i Pauahi Hawaiian Civic Club, Daughers o f H a w a i ‘ i , N a Wa h i n e H u i O Kamehameha, Aiea Community
Association and Oahu Council of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. The beginning of the Makahiki festival was marked by the arrival of Lono to Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam (JBPHH). Lono, a deified guardian of agriculture, rain, health and peace, arrived via double-hulled canoe paddled by dignitaries. This year’s paddlers included Rear Adm. Brian P. Fort, commander, Navy Region Hawaii (CNRH) and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific; Capt. Marc R. Delao, commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii; Cmdr. Corey Hurd, JBPHH chief staff officer; Cmdr. Blaine Pitkin, JBPHH operations officer.
Col. Douglas E. Pierce, commander, 647th Air Base Group, and deputy commander, JBPHH, welcomed Lono to Ke Awa Lau O Pu‘uloa, now known by most simply as Pearl Harbor. “(Military members coming to this event) is an important aspect to our relationship not only with the local population but the native Hawaiian groups as well,” Fort said. “It shows that we’re not just visitors and we don’t just come here to serve; we come here to be members of the community. We come here to be an important aspect of their cultural awareness as well. In fact, we’re very proud at Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam,” he added.

Fort added that JBPHH has most recently introduced the Aloha Welcome Academy, a class which introduces incoming Sailors to Hawaii and its culture. Operations Specialist 1st Class Steven Smith, an CNRH reservist supporting the event said the experience was rewarding. The Makahiki festival provided an opportunity for military families and civilians alike to learn and appreciate some of the cultural traditions of native Hawaiians. NAVFAC Hawaii, CNRH and JBPHH coordinated with Kupuna Shad Kane and various other organizations to make this annual Makahiki a success.

Story and photo by MC2 Sara B. Sexton Pacific Missile Range Facility Public Affairs Sailors assigned to Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) marched through the town of Kapaa, Hawaii, in a parade honoring veterans throughout the nation, Nov. 3. The annual Veterans Day parade hosted by the Kauai Veterans Council along with the Kapaa Business Association, welcomed hundreds of local guests and visitors in downtown Kapaa. “My favorite part of the parade was how many people attended to show their support,” said Lt. Sean Conkle, maintenance officer at PMRF. “I didn’t know what to expect my first time at the parade, but I certainly did not expect hundreds of people to turnout for something as simple as saying thank you to those who serve. It made me appreciate the community we
are surrounded by and a part of every day,” he added. Sailors from PMRF joined the procession with a Seaborne Powered Targets (SEPTAR) motor boat, BQM aerial target. Members from the PMRF fire station accompanied by a Crash, Fire and Rescue tactical firetruck were included in the procession, as well as personnel from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band, the Coast Guard, a number of local high school ROTC programs, members from local high school marching bands and other local community organizations. “The parade was a lot of fun,” said Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Dominique Gillings, a Sailor at PMRF. “It was nice seeing all the families there waving the American flag in honor of all of the veterans.” The 2018 parade was also combined with the annual coconut festival craft fair. The fair boasted authentic food vendors featuring local Hawaiian foods. Entertainment at the celebration featured a short program honoring veterans, singers and a hula show.

COMMENTARY
Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell L. Smith
MCPON letter to the enlisted force:
Focus on building winning teams The world stage is a very dynamic and challenging one, with many nations maturing their ability to efficiently operate in the maritime environment. The evolution of technology and our Navy’s growth in this new “great powers” era demand that our Navy apply resources in a far more refined and complex manner. As our Navy’s storied legacy continues, the Navy the nation needs will demand more from us. We must become stronger, run faster and effectively build teams to compete and win in high-end warfare at sea. Institutional loyalty — “ship, shipmate, self” — as well as organizational transparency and clear messaging will continue to be a priority, as well as dignity and respect between all of our
teammates. Understanding the solemn privilege we have as stewards of the public trust will be emphasized. Austerity and humility are necessary attributes to embrace as we carefully manage the resources the American public has entrusted to us. Every Navy leader aspires to leave behind a better and more prepared Navy than the one they found when they arrived, and I am no different. The principal concern of the Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy remains first and foremost to serve as a determined advocate on behalf of our enlisted force, as well as to find ways to leverage our 3,000 master chiefs in leading 31,000 chief petty officers to build winning teams in preparation for the future fight. Together we
must set a blistering pace above, on and below the sea, projecting strength so profoundly that we give pause to anyone who would dare challenge us. Four great strengths of the Mess are technical competence, innovative thinking, communication and networking. These skills give us the ability to be a force multiplier in both peace and war, enabling us to solve the greatest challenges by connecting our Navy horizontally. Known for using deckplate skills and experience to innovate and get results, the Mess will be absolutely essential to finding new and better ways to build muscle memory that develops toughness, which will lead to true combat readiness. We must keep Sailors from getting sidetracked or distracted, keeping
them instead laser-focused on combat at sea against a determined enemy. To that end, we are engaged in delivering tools to the fleet, to render greater efficiencies in both personnel management and how we educate and train our Sailors. Those efforts will return time and opportunity to the deckplates, allowing leaders to focus on tactical skills and warfighting readiness. Throughout our history, our greatest advantage has never been our machinery – rather, it has been the courage of the American Sailor facing adversity around the world. Perseverance, fortitude and spirit of service that each and every one of you brings to the fight will give us the decisive edge in the fight to come.

The Outstanding Unit Award, presented by the Hawaii Chapter President Maj. Michael Noe, recognizes meritorious and distinctive sustained performance by a military unit in advancing or exemplifying the discipline of EW. “Hopper and her EW team are humbled and honored to have been considered and to be awarded with this prestigious award from the association,” said Cmdr. Holman Agard, the ship’s commanding officer. “We are proud to be recognized for the incredible hard work our CTTs have accomplished over the last two deployments.” The crew’s unrelenting approach to EW ensured sustained superior performance through two deployments in the Indo-Pacific and Arabian Gulf, and continual readiness to excel at all assigned missions throughout the award period.

USS Hopper (DDG 70) electronic warfare module was awarded the prestigious Association of Old Crows Outstanding Unit - Navy (Surface) Award. Hopper maintained the highest level of mission success and tactical performance, earning the praise of Commander, U.S. Central Command. The EW module earned its joint tactical terminal – maritime certification from Commander, Third Fleet, and was used as the model for displaying and integrating data. “Our team has worked hard over our past two deployments and we are very humbled in receiving this award as it reassures us that we indeed made a positive impact in the EW community,” said Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 2nd Class Daniel Hedler.

Retired Sailor donates Navy artifact to museum Compiled by Hookele Staff A retired Navy captain donated a historical artifact to the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii in Honolulu, for display in the “Defending an Island” section, Oct. 16. Erich Roeder donated a naval 8-inch powder canister that he and a friend found at Battery George Ricker last year. According to Vol. 22, Issue 1 of “The Coast Defense Journal,” Battery George Ricker is named after Lt. Col. George W. Ricker, who died in December 1941. It was previously named Battery Brodie, and was located in between Wahiawa and the North Shore. “On Oct. 16, the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii was privileged to intake the donation of a naval 8-inch powder canister into the Army Museum Enterprise’s historical artifact inventory of record at Battery Randolph on Fort DeRussy,” said Nevin Field, director, U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii. “As part of the rigorous accessioning process, the donation proffer was presented to the U.S. Army Center of Military H i s t o r y ’s C o l l e c t i o n Committee where it was adjudicated on the merits of its historical relevance to the Army’s story in Hawaii and its direct ties to coastal artillery defenses on the island of Oahu,” he added. Field said the museum is grateful to Roeder and his friend John Pingenot for their efforts. Roeder said it was his goal before retiring to locate the four shore batteries armed with the naval 8-inch guns, removed prior
to the Pearl Harbor attack, from the USS Saratoga and the USS Lexington. With permission, Roeder and his college classmate Pingenot conducted a military emplacement survey hike on Battery Ricker. They located the powder container in an underground plot room of the battery. “Having done military hikes all over the island, I have never come across anything so unique,” Roeder said. “Although I typically do not disturb items located at the sites, this was such a unique piece of Navy history. John reminded me of its uniqueness, and how if I don’t get it to the museum it could truly be lost forever.” Roeder was unable to find a place on island to restore the item, so tried again upon returning to his native Texas. He found Loaded Dice Speed Shop Garage in Frisco, Texas. The manager of the shop was interested, having lived in Hawaii a child while his father served in the Navy on Midway Island during World War II. The shop took approximately four months to restore the item between jobs. “To me, (these locations) represent the men who proudly stood the watch to defend the island against an enemy that never came,” Roeder said. “As a surface warfare officer, I know what it’s like to look out on the sea for hours on end standing a vigilant watch, with nothing happening — but always being ready. It is for those Soldiers. I sought out their old gun batteries and fire-control stations to salute their service to defend the island.”
as the standard-keepers for the EW discipline as it evolves with today’s threats and technologies. During World War II, allied electronic countermeasures (ECM) officers,
tasked to disrupt enemy communications and radars, were given the code name of “Raven” to provide a degree of security to their existence. After World War II, a
g r o u p o f R a v e n o p e rators were directed to establish a strategic air command flying course in ECM operations at then-McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. From
all accounts from those present at the time, the students changed the name to “Crows” and those engaged in the profession became known as “Old Crows.”

Major League Baseball (MLB) players Juan Soto (second from right) and Amed Rosario (right) get to test a Navy infrared thermal imager during their visit aboard Arleigh Burkeclass guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) while touring Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Nov. 4.
USS William P. Lawrence hosts MLB players Ensign Sarah Cox USS William P. Lawrence (DDG-110) Public Affairs The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110) hosted seven Major League Baseball players and their families Nov. 4 in support of United Through Reading (UTR). New Egypt, New Jersey native Ensign Joseph Puza and Chief Personnel Specialist Eric Abrea of Oak Harbor, Washington, hosted the tour on behalf of the ship. “They got a chance to tour the boat deck where we keep our small boats and the flight deck and helicopter hangar bay where we conduct our flight operations at sea,” Puza said. “They also toured our training room and the forecastle which features our anchor and 5-inch gun mount. Finally, we took them to check out the (vertical launching system) and mess decks, where the crew got a chance to meet the players.” The MLB group also took time to read books as a part of UTR for distribution to active duty service member’s children while their parent is deployed.
UTR is a nonprofit organization that unites military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud. Service members before and during deployments read aloud several books which are then captured on video and sent to their children. “My family and I are very grateful for the UTR program,” Abrea said. “It kept me connected with my children when I was in the desert during my IA tours and while I was on my first ship. My kids grew up with it. I am glad that UTR gave us the opportunity to create good memories even though I was always away from home.” The Puza said the duty section enjoyed meeting and greeting the players on the mess decks where they signed baseball memorabilia. “The players and families that visited us were extremely appreciative and showed interest in the ship and everything that we do out at sea,” Puza said. “I know I can speak on behalf of the crew when I say that we were all appreciative of the players visiting and their Photo by MC2 Justin R.

Military families play ball, meet MLB ‘All-Stars’ Story and photo by Randy Dela Cruz Sports Editor, Ho‘okele An all-star team of Major League Baseball (MLB) players enjoyed a weekend stopover in Hawaii, Nov. 3-4, before traveling to Japan to engage in several exhibition games that are aimed to promote goodwill. With Dec. 7 only a month away, a reminder of just how our country’s relationship with the Land of the Rising Sun has grown into one of honor and respect was on display at University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Les Murakami Stadium. The itinerary for the players, while in the 50th state, included a couple of workouts and baseball clinics for children at the stadium, a tour of Pearl Harbor, as well as service appearances, such as participating in United through Reading, which is a program that unites military families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud. The brainchild of local businessman Duane Kurisu, who is also a principal owner of the San Francisco Giants, the MLB 2018 All-Star Tour with Nippon Professional Baseball reinforces the already strong relationship between the USA and Japan and is hoped to be an annual event with Hawaii positioned right in the middle. “We want to make this a regular thing, so that their stopover is here,” Kurisu said. “We want to play games here before we go to Japan. That’s the big picture.” The players involved in this year’s

“I think they were quite enthusiastic,” Kurisu stated about the players’ response to join the tour. “There were a number of players that we would have wanted to come. Shohei (Ohtani) was high on our list, but he had surgery. And we would have loved to have Buster Posey.” The idea for the MLB team stopping over in Hawaii before going to play in Asia, Kurisu said, came about when he was approached by Jim Small, head of MLB in Asia, three years ago, when an all-star squad was being assembled to play in South Korea.
While the tour to South Korea fell through, the idea of using Hawaii as a connection between MLB and Asia remained viable and strong. “There is a lot of things that we (Hawaii) share in common with Major League Baseball,” Kurisu noted. “They wanted to do this. We invited (this year) children, probably a third, that come from underprivileged situations.” In the future, Kurisu said he expects more service projects to come from MLB through the annual event, in addition to more things for fans to see and participate throughout the weekend. One thing that Kurisu has in mind for next year is for the team to play in an exhibition game against UH. “If that could ever happen in the future, we’re all for it,” said UH baseball manager Mike Trapasso. “It wasn’t meant to be for this year, but in the future, now you’re taking it to another level for our players.” For Scott Barlow, a pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, being a member of the team was a no-brainer. Barlow said he was playing Winter League Baseball in the Dominican Republic and jumped at the opportunity to come to Hawaii the minutes he was asked to join the club. The 25-year-old pitching prospect said that he visited Hawaii when he was a child, and got to visit the USS Arizona Memorial, but going to the site now would have much more meaning to him. “As a little kid, you don’t really get what really happened there,” Barlow shared. “But now, having a better understanding of it, it’s definitely important to pay homage to the (service members).”

PACOM/JIOC maintains undefeated record Story and photo by Randy Dela Cruz Sports Editor, Ho‘okele With only two more games to go in the regular season, Pacific Command/Joint Intelligence Operation Center (PACOM/JIOC) needs just one more win to lock up the No. 1 seed in the Red Division heading into the playoffs. PACOM/JIOC inched closer to their goal by getting past the 747th Communication Squadron (747 CS) Marauders, 1912, in a battle of two of the top teams in the division Nov. 6 at Ward Field, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The win raised PACOM/JIOC’s overall record to 7-0, while the Marauders dropped from second place to third with a record of 5-2. It was the second loss in a row by the Marauders, which started the season on a five-game winning streak. Next week, PACOM/JIOC can secure the division’s No. 1 seed with a win over the Firesharks, which entered play Nov. 6 with a record of 0-6. “It comes with our defense getting a shutout nearly every week,” said PACOM/JIOC quarterback Staff Sgt. Martin Dietrich about being undefeated. “It’s been that way in every game I’ve played so far. It makes it really easy on me because I don’t have to force too much knowing that my defense got my back whenever I step on the field.” PACOM/JIOC established themselves early against the Marauders by scoring first to take a 6-0 lead. Starting at their own 15, PACOM/JIOC needed just eight plays to score, but the team still needed to convert on a clutch fourth and goal from the 15 to go out in front. On the scoring play, Dietrich dropped back to pass on fourth down and rifled a pass into the arms of Senior Airman Antonio Gause, who made the grab in the end zone. “It was crucial,” said Dietrich about getting the first score. “You let them (Marauders) get a

little bit ahead of you and gain momentum, things can turn from bad to worse real quick.” However, with the ever-dangerous Senior Airman Jamal Jones leading the charge for the Marauders, the lead didn’t last long, as the 747 took the next drive 60 yards on six plays to tie the score at 6-6. Jones did most of the heavy lifting on the drive, as the QB went two-for-two on passes and picked up 57 yards on the ground. Jones finished off the drive with a short 3-yard pass to Tech. Sgt. Brett Devor inside the end zone for six. After Jones put on a show
just before halftime to tie the score, Dietrich came out on fire in the second half and put PACOM/JIOC back in front on the team’s first possession. On second down from his own 20, Dietrich got the ball in the backfield and then broke out into the open on a 43-yard run that moved the chains deep into the Marauders’ territory at the 17. Two plays later, Dietrich pitched a strike to receiver Master Sgt. Darryl Hill, who made the catch and took it into the end zone from six yards out. The Marauders almost answered with a matching touch-
down, but the drive ended at the PACOM/JIOC 14, when defensive back Information Systems Technician 3rd Class Austin Baker picked off a pass. From there, Dietrich put the game away for good with a 57yard drive that was capped off by a pass from the quarterback to Information Systems Technician 3rd Class Matt Dennis for a touchdown with less than two minutes remaining on the clock. While PACOM/JIOC should be favored to wrap up the No. 1 seed next week, the road to remain undefeated could be in serious jeopardy Nov. 20, when the team matches up against
Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Hawaii Anchors, who picked up their fifth win against two losses. Should PACOM/JIOC get past the Firesharks, team captain Mike Todd, a Department of Defense civilian, just about guaranteed an undefeated season when, he said, the team will meet and defeat NIOC. “They (NIOC) already got two losses,” Todd said. “That’s the best team right there (pointing over to the Marauders) and we just got them. NIOC is up next, but I don’t see why people are still talking about a two-loss team.”

JBPHH security department holds job fair Story and photo by MC1 Nardel Gervacio Navy Public Affairs Support Element Detachment Hawaii Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) held a security guard job fair at the Federal Fire Department in an effort to protect base assets and its personnel, Nov. 5. The security department is staffed with service members, contractors and civilians working together to keep the JBPHH community safe and secure. “ T h e i n s t a l l a t i o n c o m m a n d e r ’s number one priority is security and safety of this installation,” said Alphonso Braggs, management analyst for JBPHH security department. “We need to make sure we have sufficient personnel, properly trained and vetted. There are approximately 45,000 individuals, as well as vital national security assets, we are required to protect.” According to Braggs, more than 40 security guard positions are expected to be filled under the direct-hire initiative after Monday’s event. This process grants agencies an oppor-
Spencer Kam, of Pearl City, Hawaii, answers questions during an interview for a security guard position at a job fair held at the Federal Fire Department, Nov. 5. tunity to fill vacancies in specific occupations when it is proven there is a critical need or shortage of candidates. “In previous years, we used USAJobs
and it did not keep up with our needs and timelines which could take as long as seven to 11 months for the hiring process,” Bragg said.
Monday’s event allowed applicants to start the hiring process by completing the security, medical, drug screening and physical agility test that is required to be a security guard. This streamlines the 45-day hiring process to make the individual work ready. Among the applicants who turned out for the job fair were prior service members looking for a more secure and stable career. “I came here in hopes of getting into the security field in something similar to the military,” said Emerson Soueira-Favor from Kapolei. “I was in the Army for four years and did a lot of security (work), like gate guard, so it feels like this is a perfect fit for me.” Civilian applicant Christian ZamoraJob, from Ewa Beach, said attending the job fair was a great opportunity because of his interest in law enforcement. “I’ve been in the security field about four years now,” he said. “I love the job and the service I can provide to people.” This is the fourth security department job fair for the year. “Our goal today is to hire 50 individuals. I believe we will meet our goal,” Braggs said. “We are just excited for this opportunity and we believe this direct-hire process is really working.”

JBPHH families attend advance screening of ‘Magnum P.I.’ reboot Actor Zachary Knighton (second from left), who plays Orville “Rick” Wright on the TV reboot “Magnum P.I.,” answers a question during the Q&A portion of the “Magnum P.I.” advance screening at Sharkey Theater aboard Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oct. 28. Photo by Kristen Wong, Oahu Publications
Staff Sgt. Jasmonet D. Jackson Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam Public Affairs Military members and civilians attended an advance screening of the “Magnum P.I.” reboot here at Sharkey Theater, Oct. 28. Blue Star Families, Academy of United States Veterans (AUSV), Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) and CBS television studios, hosted the screening. Eligible service members, families and civilians entered a lottery to be chosen for the screening. Some earned their tickets by winning a social
media contest put on by MWR. As event staff tossed limited quantity promotional T-shirts into the crowd, children also came up to the stage to receive promotional red lei. The cast arrived at the theater and sat in front to cheers and applause from guests. The “Magnum P.I.” television series returns after 30 years of being off the big screen. “The original ‘Magnum P.I.’ was one of the first of its kind to positively portray Vietnam veterans,” said Chaitali Patel, Blue Star Families chief external affairs officer and the spouse of a retired Airman. “Much like the original show, the new rebooted ‘Magnum P.I.’ delivers a similar story and message about the
reintegration of veterans into the civilian community. ‘Magnum P.I.’ showcases this transition in a fun and actionpacked cinematic experience,” she added. After remarks by Patel, the crowd watched “Death is Only Temporary,” which is episode six of season one, that aired Oct. 29. The cast then came onstage to answer questions presubmitted by guests. Patel asked the cast how the TV show changes the narrative of veterans. Zachary Knighton, who is from Virginia Beach, took the question. “I’ve always been surrounded by veterans and active duty and it’s always been a positive narrative for me,” he said.
Knighton added that the show’s executive producer, Peter Lenkov, wants to “paint a positive narrative” of veterans, and although not every case is related to the military, he said the actors will “portray our roles with honor.” Knighton and actor Stephen Hill both portray former Marines, while actor Jay Hernandez plays a former Navy SEAL. According to www.cbs.com, “‘Magnum P.I.’ is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator.”
The original version showcased Magnum with three male characters, Orville “Rick” Wright, Theodore “TC” Calvin, and Jonathan Quayle Higgins III. The reboot, however, reimagines Higgins as ex-British elite operative, Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks), the property m a n a g e r o f t h e R o b i n ’s Nest estate. “This Higgins is a 2018 Higgins,” Weeks said. “That’s the only thing that’s really missing from the original — a strong, female character. It brings a new dynamic … there’s a little will-they-won’t-they.” To watch all-new episodes of “Magnum P.I.,” tune in Mondays, at 9/8 Central Standard Time.
