CONTENTS

Your Navy Team in Hawaii Commander, Navy Region Hawaii oversees two installations: Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam on Oahu and Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, on Kauai.

As Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific we provide oversight for the ten surface ships homeported at JBPHH. Navy aircraft squadrons are also co-located at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe, Oahu, and training is sometimes also conducted on other islands, but most Navy assets are located at JBPHH and PMRF. These two installations serve fleet, fighter and family under the direction of Commander, Navy Installations Command.

A guided-missile cruiser and destroyers of Commander, Naval Surface Force Pacific deploy independently or as part of a group for Commander, U.S. Third Fleet and in the Seventh Fleet and Fifth Fleet areas of responsibility. The Navy, including your Navy team in Hawaii, builds partnerships and strengthens interoperability in the Pacific.

Each year, Navy ships, submarines and aircraft from Hawaii participate in various training exercises with allies and friends in the Pacific and Indian Oceans to strengthen interoperability. Navy service members and civilians conduct humanitarian assistance and disaster response missions in the South Pacific and in Asia. Working with the U.S. Coast Guard, the Navy in Hawaii provides drug interdiction and fisheries enforcement operations for Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet. In even-numbered years Hawaii hosts the biennial summer Rim of the Pacific Exercise, the world’s largest military maritime exercise, featuring more than two dozen nations and 25,000 personnel.

The Navy family in Hawaii comprises around 50,000 people, most of whom are active duty service members and their families, and includes nearly 15,000 civilians and contractors as part of our workforce.

JBPHH includes the Pearl Harbor waterfront, Hickam flight line, Wahiawa annex and several other areas in West Oahu and provides a major logistics and other support hub for the military and military families.

Supporting the nation’s ballistic missile defense initiative, the Pacific Missile Range Facility on the western coast of “The Garden Island,” is the world’s largest instrumented multidimensional testing and training missile range.

We provide services to the U.S. Pacific Command, one of DOD’s six geographic combatant commands, with an area of responsibility covering half the globe.

We directly support two component commands whose headquarters are on JBPHH: Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet and Commander, U.S. Pacific Air Force. Close to our own Region/MIDPAC headquarters command is Commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. With 18 forward-deployable combat-ready U.S. Navy submarines, Pearl Harbor is home to the largest submarine presence in the Pacific. The Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, on JBPHH, is the largest ship repair facility between the West Coast and the Far East.

Within our region we support more than 100 tenant commands.

CNO birthday message to the fleet

By Adm. Mike Gilday Chief of Naval Operations

Two hundred forty-four years ago, the Navy began its watch to protect freedom of the seas with honor, courage, and commitment.

around the world. We enable prosperity - at home and abroad - by ensuring peace, stability, and security around the globe.

As we celebrated across the fleet, we renewed our commitment to be ready; remembered those who forged our legacy; and honored our families and loved ones who stood beside us.

Sailors and Marines stand watch together in every fleet and operate as an integrated naval force.

With 290 ships, about 30% of which are underway today, your Navy is America's away team.

From the Atlantic to the Arabian Gulf, and from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific, there are no shortage of headlines about our presence

We operate jointly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and continually demonstrate America’s ability to put forces wherever and whenever we choose. There is no higher honor than to serve with each one of you.

Happy 244th birthday shipmates. See you in the fleet.

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) Sailors and Airmen attended a red carpet premiere of the new film “Midway.” They met with stars of the film including Woody Harrelson, Dennis Quaid, and Patrick Wilson, who held a question-and-answer session before screening the movie at Sharkey Theater Oct. 20.

The production, centered on one of the most pivotal battles of World War II, aims to remind viewers just how precariously America’s future teetered in the early 1940s, and what cost, sacrifice and luck were required to achieve a free and open Indo-Pacific.

“Most people are going to see this movie and they’re going to take that for history,” said actor Dennis Quaid, who plays Vice Adm. William ‘Bull’ Halsey in the film. “This is a battle which really changed the world. If it had been a different outcome, it’d be a different world.”

6 / October 21, 2019 / Ho’okele

Prior to the screening, the actors, cast and crew toured Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97), met with the crew, toured the ship and posed for photographs.

The crew was excited to meet the cast and the actor portraying their ships namesake who was such an integral part leading up to the battle.

The movie aims to be an accurate representation of the Pacific in the opening months of World War II and help people understand the value the Navy had historically, as well as today. Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) also helped support the writing of the script and production of the film to help ensure historical accuracy.

Actor Woody Harrelson plays the role of Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, the U.S. Pacific Fleet commander who assumed command after the attack on Pearl Harbor, through Midway, and

remained in command until after the end of the war.

While preparing for the role in Pearl Harbor, Harrelson worked with Rear Adm. Brian Fort, who was the commander of Navy Region Hawaii at that time. Harrelson said he wanted to understand the decisions the fleet admiral took in those critical months, and also wanted to get a sense of the type of naval officer and man Nimitz was.

“The thing that was most exciting for me is that I got to spend a lot of time with Sailors,” said Harrelson. “Nimitz is a fascinating guy. He really was the right guy for the job at that time.

To strike that blow – Midway – was a huge thing.”

“Midway” opens in theaters everywhere on Nov. 8.

This Veterans Day, moviegoers everywhere can witness the most pivotal Pacific battle in World War II: “Midway.” The production reminds viewers just how precariously America’s future teetered in the early 1940s, and what cost, sacrifice and luck was required to achieve a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Patriot, White House Down, Independence Day: Resurgence) waited 10 years before embarking on the heroic story, written by U.S. Navy veteran Wes Tooke. The ambitious storyline begins in Asia in the 1930s, and follows the war in the Pacific through the Midway battle that ultimately changed the tide of war.

fter four months of working with the Defense Innovation Unit in San Diego, learning software development practices from industry leading commercial companies, the 15th Wing TRON team is up and running to help Sky Warriors streamline daily tasks and get back to the mission.

“Indo-Pacific Air Forces has a mission to be ready to fight tonight,” said Capt.

Eric Robinson, TRON software engineer.

“However, many of our Airmen are facing problems with administrative tasks that keep them from focusing on their mission.”

TRON is a sub-section of the 15th Wing’s Aloha Spark office. Their focus is to build software that will increase Airmen’s efficiency.

Currently, TRON is working to localize a Marine Corps flight scheduling application to meet the needs of the 535th Airlift Squadron (AS).

“The Air Force has been scheduling flights the same way for over 75 years,” said Tech. Sgt. Patrick Kelly, TRON software engineer. “The manual process was done on a whiteboard or excel document and would take several hours to de-conflict issues. By tailoring the Marine Corps puckboard, the 535th AS will be able to schedule flights, input personnel, and see conflicts instantly.”

By working with TRON on the puckboard app, the 535th AS is estimated to gain up to eight hours of scheduling time that can be

used to train for global airlift, airdrop, and aeromedical evacuation operations.

“Our focus is on software development that will optimize Airmen’s time, by identifying broken processes, developing technology workarounds, and automating administration tasks,” said Kelly.

To help Airmen leverage their duty time, TRON adopted a new method of developing software that takes advantage of industry practices to focus on outcomes versus technical specifications.

“In the past, software development followed the same process making a request, then identifying the problem,” said Kelly. “With contracting, development, and testing procedures, previous software engineering practices could take up to eight years to complete.”

The TRON process focuses on continuous development while keeping the warfighter in mind.

TRON uses the Agile methodology which keeps end users involved during the development phase and allows software engineers the flexibility they need to change the product as needed. This flexibility has reduced the eight-year development standard to less than one year.

Sky Warriors interested in reducing their administration time can submit a TRON ticket at alohaspark.org/problems.

Cybersecurity matters

From Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare Public Affairs

T

he cyber threat to the Navy is real, and the stakes are high.

While cyber professionals are waging much of this war in the cyber realm, anyone (military/civilian/contractor) who logs onto a Navy system or network – from any device – is entering that cyber battlespace. Their actions affect our cybersecurity.

Other combatants in the cyber war include acquisition professionals who decide how survivable future systems will be in a cyber contested environment, and our industry

partners who prevent Navy data from being stolen through cyber attacks.

Anyone with a personal computer, smartphone or smart device is also engaged in the cyber battle.

Cybersecurity matters because it helps thwart cyber adversaries from disrupting normal operations, stealing data, or making us doubt the validity of the data we use. The consequences of a compromise could be as harmless as unwanted ads on your smartphone or as

serious as the failure of weapons systems during a conflict.

Each October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and the Department of the Navy is using the month to remind all hands of cyber dangers and their responsibilities in cyberspace.

Understanding the consequences of our actions in cyberspace is essential to combating cyber threats. Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an important time to be reminded of the ways we can contribute to the strength or weakness of the enterprise through our day-to-day actions – at work, at home and at sea.

Network and systems users can accidentally undo the elaborate defenses built and maintained by cybersecurity professionals, which is why we will provide resources during October at https://www. navy.mil/local/cyberawareness/ that explain user cybersecurity best practices.

The catastrophic loss of national security data from Boeing shows how users can be exploited to breach otherwise strong cyber defenses. Using a phishing attack, Chinese hackers penetrated Boeing’s network by tricking users into clicking links that download malicious software. Over the next

year, at a cost of only $400K, the Chinese stole many of the plans for the C-17 strategic transport aircraft, which cost the U.S. $40 billion to develop over a decade, resulting in the “…most massive transfer of wealth through cyberattacks in U.S. history.”

Connecting an unauthorized thumb drive that contains malicious software to the network is an innocent mistake with potentially damaging consequences.

Unsuspecting Iranian technicians connected to the network and loaded thumb drives with malicious software, and used it to spread the Stuxnet virus, which destroyed centrifuges in one of their nuclear research facilities.

A weak password could also allow adversaries to gain a foothold in our networks for exploiting Navy systems and data. The cyber war is largely unseen but the consequences of this ongoing conflict in cyberspace are serious for the Navy. Even if you are not a cyber professional, you play an important part in keeping the Navy cyber secure.

The Navy is counting on you to help protect it from cyber threats. Be on the lookout for updates during October that explain ways to reduce your personal cyber risk and reduce cyber risk to the Navy.

steps to reducing your cybersecurity risk

By the Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare Public Affairs

Much of our focus for Cybersecurity Awareness Month is on how the Navy’s cybersecurity is threatened by nation states, ideologically motivated hackers, cyber criminals, and malicious insiders. Our cybersecurity workforce and Cyber Mission Forces battle these cyberspace adversaries every day.

1

SHAKE UP YOUR PASSWORD PROTOCOL. According to National Institute for Standards and Technology guidance, you should consider using the longest password or passphrase permissible. Get creative and customize your standard password for different sites, which can prevent cybercriminals from gaining access to these accounts and protect you in the event of a breach.

4 6

Nevertheless, just as important is for everyone to pay close attention to your own cyber vulnerabilities, at work and at home. Those same adversaries mentioned above can target you whether you are at work or on a personal device outside of work.

2

NEVER CLICK AND TELL. Limit what information you post on social media — from personal addresses to where you like to grab coffee. What many people don’t realize is that these seemingly random details are all criminals need to know to target you, your loved ones, and your physical belongings — online and in the physical world.

STAY PROTECTED WHILE CONNECTED. Before you connect to any public wireless hotspot – like at an airport, hotel, or café – be sure to confirm the name of the network and exact login procedures with appropriate staff to ensure that the network is legitimate.

10 / October 21, 2019 / Ho’okele

DOUBLE YOUR LOGIN PROTECTION. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that the only person who has access to your account is you. Use it for email, banking, social media, and any other service that requires logging in.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has produced a series of short, informationpacked, easy-to-read “tip sheets” for protecting yourself online. Topics range from social media cybersecurity to protecting internet-connected sensing devices and some common themes repeated below:

3

PLAY HARD TO GET WITH STRANGERS. Cybercriminals use phishing tactics, hoping to fool their victims. If you’re unsure who an email is from — even if the details appear accurate — or if the email looks “phishy,” do not respond and do not click on any links or attachments found in that email.

IF YOU CONNECT, YOU MUST PROTECT. Whether it’s your computer, smartphone, game device, or other network devices, the best defense against viruses and malware is to update to the latest security software, web browser, and operating systems.

KEEP TABS ON YOUR APPS. Most connected appliances, toys, and devices are supported by a mobile application.

Your mobile device could be filled with suspicious apps running in the background or using default permissions you never realized you approved, gathering your personal information without your knowledge while also putting your identity and privacy at risk.

By following these tips, you will reduce your chances of becoming one of the 60 million Americans affected by identity theft, being held hostage by a ransomware attack, or having your credit card exploited.

The good cybersecurity habits you learn and apply at home will also help you protect the Navy from cyber adversaries when you are at work.

It is that time of the year again: physical fitness assessment (PFA) season. As the unwavering dedication of command fitness leaders and the Sailors within each command surround us, one cannot help but get into the fitness spirit.

On May 29, the former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson visited Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam and announced the addition of the 2-kilometer row cardio option and forearm plank that will replace the curl-up. On Oct. 7, Sailors gathered at the JBPHH fitness center to commence the testing of the new workout metrics.

The study consisted of three different days of exercise. Day one focused on introducing Sailors to the 2-kilometer row and practicing the correct rowing technique. On day two, Sailors performed pushups, the forearm plank and a 12-minute bike assessment.

In addition, day three focused on pushups, the forearm plank and the second trial of the 2-kilometer row. The big focus during this study was to see how Sailors perform the new plank as opposed to the curl-ups.

“The plank allows you to build that core strength,” said Lt. Cmdr. Melissa Laird, the work sponsor of the study from the 21st Century Sailor office. “It’s really a better test and better modality to assess that core strength than the curl-up is. It works on giving you good posture, and it also has less chance of aggravating low back injuries which you can see with the curl-up.”

Laird also said that adopting a new form of cardio within the PFA allows Sailors an alternative to the standard 1.5-mile run. The rower uses approximately 70% of the body’s musculature so it provides a good cardiovascular workout that is low impact.

Sailors representing multiple commands volunteered to be the test subjects for this study. A seamless transition into adopting these two modalities for the PFA in the year 2020 is the end goal according to Laird.

Jay Heaney, a research physiologist from the Naval Health Research Center and the principle investigator for the study, explained the process of gathering the information from the Sailors’ performance and how it will be applied to the new PFA. “We try to get as many people as we can within the age groups by gender,” said Heaney. “Then we look for what the norms are; what the high, medium and low scores are. From that, we will develop what the scoring metrics are for the different categories of the PFA.” Heaney said that the Navy is trying to put a bigger emphasis on physical fitness as ship-based Sailors are required to climb ladderways and do a lot of heavy lifting throughout their workday.

“I volunteered because I wanted to see what the new PFA would look like,” said Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) 3rd Class Amanda Zwiebel. “Not only to prepare myself but to prepare my peers and my command.”

According to Heaney, it is important that our service members have complete physical readiness at the end of the day. The addition of two new workouts to the PFA helps the U.S. Navy move in the right direction.

Strengthening commitments to restore history

By Staff Sergeant Joseph Mecca 647th Civil Engineer Squadron

It has been a long 15 months since anyone has been able to pay their respects to all 1,177 lives lost on the USS Arizona in the surprise attack on Dec. 7, 1941.

However, on Sept. 1, tourists from all over the world were able to do just that, just in time for the 78th anniversary of the ending of World War II. Through weeks of scorching heat and budgeting constraints, the 647th Civil Engineers within the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), partnered with Seabees and civilians, were able to “make it happen.”

The USS Arizona Memorial shut down in May 2018 after an incident causing significant damage to the memorial dock, which prevented safe access to the observation deck. Additionally, in December 2018, exceptionally high tides caused the floating shore side docks to dislodge and sink to the bottom of the harbor.

Joint teams were able to refloat the dock, however, the lack of stabilization of both gangways was a safety concern for those visiting.

With up to 12,000 tourists visiting on any given day, Congress pushed $2.1 million into the repairs. With approaching deadlines, the National Park Service reached out to NAVFAC engineers to get a plan together to re-stabilize the floating docks.

14 / October 21, 2019 / Ho’okele

Glen Fickbohm, facility manager at the USS Arizona memorial explained, “[Repairing the Arizona] creates a significant milestone to renew important interagency relationships that have existed for many years. I believe that with the military helping us and

showing visitors we are in conjunction with one another, made for a positive experience overall” In conjunction with National Park engineers, Tech.

Sgt. Patrick Giannico and his team of five civilians and seven military accomplished multiple repairs including both gangways, repairing all damage, reattaching the docks to one another and securing the docks to the shore with new mooring lines. Within four weeks, all repairs were completed.

“This team is like no other,” said Giannico. “Not only is it one of the bigger metal shops in the Air Force; it is unique due to the combination of Airmen, Seabees, and civilians.”

Hurdling over challenges was crucial in the completion of this task. For most, this job was a learning experience. It was a chance to do something they may never experience again in their careers.

“The collective group of workers displayed resiliency and determination as they overcame obstacle after obstacle to complete the task at hand,” said Giannico.

With all sections of the USS Arizona Memorial reopened to the public, visitors from all over the world may again remember and reflect those killed on that “Date which will live in infamy.”

As for the joint military team, they will continue to press forward with their newfound experiences and continue to share those experiences with future generations of Airmen, Seabees, and civilians alike.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) celebrated 10 years of active service Oct. 10.

As the 58th Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and the 100th Aegis Weapons System delivered to the Navy, Wayne E. Meyer conducts a variety of missions for both peace and war time.

However, its true strength resides in the men and women who serve in this ship as one unified team.

Wayne E. Meyer was commissioned Oct. 10, 2009, in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania, and named after Rear Adm. Wayne E. Meyer, the founding project manager of Aegis Shipbuilding and affectionately known as the “Father of Aegis.”

Wayne E. Meyer’s crew takes great pride in Meyer’s reputation and accomplishments in delivering the Aegis Weapons System to the U.S. Navy. Wayne E. Meyer’s motto, “One Powerful Legacy,” truly embodies their warrior ethos.

“The USS Wayne E. Meyer has provided a reliable presence in multiple theaters these past 10 years,” said Cmdr. Alex Mamikonian, commanding officer. “Adm. Meyer’s vision is a reality today as the U.S. sails with the most advanced

weapons. The first 10 years are only the beginning of a ship which honors the ‘Father of Aegis’ and will continue to build on such an important legacy.”

Meyer was born April 21, 1926 in Brunswick, Missouri. He enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and was commissioned as an ensign in the naval reserves in 1946. After several years at sea, he returned to school and attended the Joint Guided Missile School and the Navy Line School before receiving orders to the Galveston class guided missile light cruiser USS Galveston (CLG 3).

In 1966, he transferred to the Naval Ordnance Engineering Corps as the director of engineering at the Naval Ship Missile Systems Station in Port

Hueneme, California. Three years later, he became the manager of the Aegis Weapons System.

In July 1974, he assumed the duties as the founding project manager, Aegis shipbuilding. In 1983, he was assigned as deputy commander of Weapons and Combat Systems at the Naval Sea Systems Command.

Meyer died Sept. 1, 2009, and laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.

Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) is conducting security and stability operations in the Indo-Pacific region while assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest forward deployed DESRON and the U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force.

PMRF celebrates

244th Navy Birthday Story and photos by MC2 Sara B. Trujillo Pacific Missile Range Facility Public Affairs

More than 150 guests gathered to celebrate the Navy’s 244th Birthday at the Kauai Grand Hyatt Hotel Oct. 11.

Attendees included Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) Sailors and civilians, members of the local government, and community leaders.

“The 2019 Navy Ball was amazing,” said Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Nathaniel Banez. “I would urge every Sailor to go to future events like the Navy Ball because, from my experience, it gives you a renewed pride in our Navy and the will to serve.”

The evening began with an entrance from the guests of honor - Capt. Timothy Young, commanding officer, PMRF; Mayor Derek Kawakami, mayor of Kauai; and Rear Adm. Robert Chadwick, commander, Navy Region Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific. Guests then stood at attention honoring the national ensign and the Hawaii State flag.

During the ceremony, the top Sailors at the command for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year were recognized - Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Dominique Gillings, Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Jacob Carpenter and Master-at-Arms Seaman Jacob Piper. The top Sailors of the year for the command were also recognized - Master-at-Arms 1st Class Tyler Corbin, Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Travis Smith and Master-at-Arms Seaman Jacob Piper.

Guest speaker, Chadwick, recounted the origins of the 2019 Navy Ball theme, “No Higher Honor.”

During the Battle of Samar, Lt. Cmdr. Robert Copeland, commanding officer of World War II destroyer USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE 413), led his crew in an attack against Japanese forces.

Although Copeland estimated overwhelming odds against the crew, the men zealously stood at their stations and fought. Copeland said the men fought with such calmness, courage and efficiency that no higher honor could be conceived than to command such a group of men. The ship was lost during the battle, but the actions of the crew helped defeat the counter-offensive against the Leyte invasion.

Breathing for

relaxation “ Lt. Cmdr. Ryan Vienna, M.D. Naval Health Clinic Hawaii

While we may not be able to control how fast our heart rate is, or how nervous we are getting, we can control how we breathe. Focused and mindful breathing can help to reduce anxiety and stress.

Oct. 6 to 12 marked Mental Illness Awareness Week. As your new staff psychiatrist, I am excited to provide everyone with some information about a problem that everyone deals with: STRESS. Stress is a feeling of physical or emotional tension. Oftentimes, stress is beneficial. It acts as a motivator that encourages you to study for the next advancement exam. It may also drive you to increase your physical activity and improve your diet during PRT season. Unfortunately, stress can sometimes get out of control.

Most people have heard of the “fight or flight response.” This is an innate and primitive capability of our nervous system to respond to danger. If you think about it, it makes sense to increase your heart rate and blood pressure to help you run away from a bear chasing you in the woods.

However, feeling anxious and nervous or having a racing heartbeat and sweaty palms just when you are trying to go to the mall or attend a social gathering…not so much. Those are symptoms of anxiety.

The good news is there are numerous techniques that can help to manage stress that has gotten out of control and I would like to share one with you - breathing exercises.

While we may not be able to control how fast our heart rate is, or how nervous we are getting, we can control how we breathe. Focused and mindful breathing can help to reduce anxiety and stress.

An example of one simple technique that I have heard even Navy SEALs use is “box breathing.” The sequence is four steps long and the rhythm is in four-second intervals, which is easy to remember if you just think of a box having four walls. You may start to notice a sense of calming in just a few minutes even after a few breaths.

Give it a try:

”

1. Inhale for 4 seconds.

2. Hold the air in your lungs for 4 seconds.

3. Exhale over 4 seconds, fully clearing the air from your lungs.

4. Hold your lungs empty for 4 seconds.

5. Repeat.

An alternative to this method that one of my supervisors has suggested is 4-4-6-2 breathing; he calls it “combat breathing.”

In this case, you would perform steps one and two as above, but exhale slowly over six seconds and hold out for two seconds. The key here is the prolonged exhale, which will help to prevent hyperventilation. When you are already feeling stressed these breathing techniques may be used, perhaps before you encounter a situation that you think may provoke distress. You can also try these techniques at bedtime if you are having trouble falling asleep.

There are numerous resources out there regarding various relaxation techniques and breathing exercises. The Department of Defense has developed a mobile app for breathing called “Breath2Relax.” It is available for download to your phone.

“Military Meditation Coach” is a podcast produced by the Defense Health Agency with many episodes on breathing exercises and much more. Both of these resources are free so please feel free to try them out.

If you or a shipmate are experiencing a crisis, please know that there are resources to help you out. Please remember the Navy’s suicide prevention training: Ask-Care-Treat (ACT).

Help prevent the flu There are things you can do to help keep you from getting sick and to prevent the spread of flu illnesses.

Steps you can take to prevent the spread of germs: • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or simply wear a surgical mask.

• If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands.

• Put your used tissue in the wastebasket.

• Clean your hands after coughing or sneezing.

• Wash with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

• Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you develop a high fever along with moderate respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches), please contact your health care provider. If you need to visit your health care provider’s office, call in advance and let them know you have symptoms of the flu. When you are sick, stay home from work, school and group activities and postpone errands. You will protect others from catching your illness.

Wear a mask if you must go out in public. Do your part to keep yourself and your family, friends and coworkers from getting sick.

• Keeping healthy is no accident. Practice healthy habits by getting plenty of sleep, routine physical activity and making good food choices.

• Now is the time to develop a family emergency plan as a precaution. This should include food, medicines, face masks, alcohol-based hand cleaners and other essential supplies.

Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape

By CNIC Public Affairs

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Fire & Emergency Services (F&ES) teamed up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)—the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years—to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!”

Fire Prevention Week took place from Oct. 6-12. The campaign worked to educate everyone about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.

NFPA statistics show that in 2017 U.S. fire departments responded to 357,000 home structure fires. These fires caused 2,630 fire deaths and 10,600 fire injuries. On average, seven people died in a fire in a home per day during 2012 to 2016.

“These numbers show that home fires continue to pose a significant 20 / October 21, 2019 / Ho’okele

threat to safety,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds.

Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out.

While NFPA and CNIC F&ES are focusing on home fires, these messages apply to virtually any location.

“Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go,” said Navy Fire Chief Carl Glover.

“No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately.”

CNIC F&ES Departments hosted a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign.
