GULF OF ADEN– Sailors aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93) celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 21.

The federal holiday is celebrated every third Monday of January to commemorate King’s birthday on Jan. 15.

“I’m incredibly thankful that Congress passed the law in 1986 for us to celebrate what our country is built upon,” said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Brent Jackson, commanding officer, ChungHoon. “Part of that is having humility and demonstrating human decency regardless of who you are or where you come from. Thank you, Dr. King, for allowing us to celebrate this idea at a time when it’s most important.” Even with a busy schedule while out at sea, the Chung-Hoon was able to make time to commemorate King with a reading of his “I Have a Dream” speech and a ceremonial cake-cutting.

“It is important to celebrate these observances at sea because it is easy to get caught up in the day to day hustle and bustle of work,” said U.S. Navy Quartermaster 1st Class Dominic Cummings, head of the Chung-Hoon’s Multi-Cultural Committee. “It is our duty to take a moment and reflect on the many accomplishments that people have made throughout history and further the Navy’s equal opportunity mission.”

JBPHH celebrates MLK Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Justin R. Pacheco, NPASE West, Detachment Hawaii

The Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) Joint Forces Diversity Committee hosted a special event in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Sharkey Theater, Jan. 23.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an American federal holiday that celebrates the legacy of Dr. King and acknowledge his work to fight segregation and racial inequality.

“He fought for peace and justice for everyone, no matter the color of their skin,” said Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Cerica Myhand, who acted as Master of Ceremonies at the event. “Without his dream, I don’t think our unity in the military would be where it is now.”

At the ceremony, JBPHH Commanding Officer Capt. Jeff Bernard delivered remarks, followed by Hawaii-state Representative Cedric Gates regarding this year’s theme, “Remember! Celebrate!

Act! A Day On, Not A Day Off!” Following the celebration, a special meal was offered at the Silver Dolphin Bistro open to all active-duty personnel, retirees, Department of Defense employees, and escorted family members.

King was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 until his assassination in 1968. King is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, as well as tactics his Christian beliefs and the Hawaii-state Representative Cedric Gates delivers remarks during a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration event hosted by the Joint nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi helped inspire.

JBPHH WELCOMES TYNDALL TO THE H AWA I I O H A N A

By Pacific Air Forces Public Affairs

The Air Force announced the temporary relocation of personnel and F-22s from the 95th Fighter Squadron, Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., to Joint Base (JB) Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, and JB Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Nov. 2, 2018.

The unit assets are being reassigned as Tyndall begins its longterm recovery following the devastation caused by Hurricane Michael, which struck the base in early October 2018.

A number of important missions will resume at Tyndall AFB in the next few months and others will shift to other locations for the time being. All but approximately 500 Airmen will return to the Florida panhandle.

“We are focused on taking care of our Airmen and their families and ensuring the resumption of operations. These decisions were important first steps to provide stability and certainty,” said Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson. “We’re working hard to return their lives to normalcy as quickly as possible.”

S AY N O toDRONES ON JBPHH AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES 3

AADouble DoubleDose Dose ooff MMaaññoozzaa ARABIAN SEA-- Twin siblings share a variety of things growing up – matching outfits, friends, hairstyles; the list goes on. Twin sisters Ens. Genesis Mañoza, assigned to USS Rushmore (LSD 47), and Ens. Faith Mañoza, assigned to Navy Information Operations Command Hawaii, are no exception to this norm. However, these twins have shared more than just their birthdays. These women share a unique naval career together.

“After we graduated from college, we decided to submit our applications to Officer Candidate School (OCS),” said Genesis. “My sister and I had been working on our packages before graduation was even a thought.”

Both sisters graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology.

“While we both had our degrees, we wanted to follow in our dad’s footsteps and continue the legacy of naval service,” said Genesis. “Our dad served for 28 and a half years and retired as an Senior Chief Electrical Gas Turbine Systems Technician, and we wanted to make him and our mom proud.”

While the Mañoza twins were born minutes apart, their career was born weeks apart.

“Although Faith found out she was accepted first, I started OCS six weeks prior to her,” said Genesis. “My sister was a bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding, so she pushed her start date back, so that she could be there for that.”

Much like in grade school, the twins caused their instructors some confusion at OCS. “When my sister arrived she had to do the routine urinalysis,” said Genesis. “My Recruit Division Commander (RDC) was at urinalysis, and when she saw my sister, she thought my sister was me. My RDC asked her why ‘I’ was there because she had just conducted a uniform inspection with me earlier that day. Later that day, both of our classes happened to be at chow. My RDC called me up to her and said, ‘Why didn’t you tell us you had a twin!?’”

Having a twin can also pose several challenges. Throughout life, twins are often compared to one another because they share the same face. They are expected to share the same motivation, intelligence, and behavior. While some twins can find this frustrating, these sisters are driven by this stigma.

“Our RDCs compared us in a positive way,” said Genesis. “They used my experience at OCS to motivate my sister. On one occasion, they spoke to her and told her, ‘I know you look up to your sister. She’s doing really well, and you’re going to do well too.’”

Upon the sisters’ completion of OCS, they both had the special moment of sharing their

“first salute” at their graduations with their dad.

“Your first salute is a very memorable and special thing,” said Genesis. “We both were blessed to be able to receive our first salute from our dad. He was who inspired us to start this journey.”

Although these women share a naval career together, much like their personalities, their jobs and Navy experiences have also varied greatly.

“I was accepted for supply, and Faith was accepted for supply and crypto,” said Genesis.

“Faith’s choice of crypto took her to school in Virginia Beach, Virginia and Pensacola, Florida, while I went to school in Newport, Rhode Island. Now I am stationed in California, and she is stationed in Hawaii.”

Genesis said the two have been inseparable their whole lives. Although they may not be together physically, distance has not changed their bond.

“We try to talk as much as possible and continue to support each other’s goals every day,” said Genesis. “For example, we are both in the process of obtaining our warfare pins right now, and we are constantly motivating one another to get done what needs to be done.”

Genesis is currently deployed with Rushmore and hasn’t seen Faith since she commissioned in February 2018.

“I really hopeful that my sister will be waiting on the pier to greet me when I return home,” said Genesis. “This is my first deployment and getting to see her would mean the world to me. We have so much time to make up for.”

Rushmore is deployed with the Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th MEU. The Essex ARG/13th MEU is a flexible and persistent Navy-Marine Corps team deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operation in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.

Humpback Whale Mother and Calf Spend Weekend Touring Pearl Harbor Story and photos by Corrina Carnes, Natural Resources Manager, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam

A humpback whale mother and calf surprised Navy environmental staff with an extended visit to Pearl Harbor earlier this month. The pair was first sighted in the entrance channel the morning of Jan. 10 and remained in the harbor for nearly four days, moving between West and East Loch entrances and even spending time near Rainbow Bay Marina. Lucky spectators witnessed the active months-old calf breaching, tail slapping and spyhopping (sticking its head above water to have a look around) while staying close to mother for protection.

Humpback whales migrate to the Hawaiian Islands from Alaska during the winter months to mate, give birth, and nurse their calves before returning north in the spring to feed on krill and small fish. While commonly spotted in Hawai‘i’s nearshore waters, this month’s sighting marks the first time in recent history that whales have spent an extended period of time in Pearl Harbor.

Like all marine mammals, humpback whales are protected by federal law. Upon being informed of the whales’ presence Thursday morning, the Navy implemented established protective measures - reducing vessel speeds, restricting use of sonar, maintaining a 100-yard standoff distance – which remained in place until the whales were confirmed to have left the harbor. Environmental staff also collaborated with staff from NOAA fisheries’ Marine Mammal Stranding Response Program and the University of Hawai‘i to monitor the whales daily for changes in activity that could indicate poor health; fortunately, both mother and calf remained active during their visit and showed no obvious signs of distress. It remains unclear what drew this pair to enter and explore Pearl Harbor, but humpbacks have been known to seek out calm, protected waters while nursing and raising their young.

(U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Charles Oki/Released)

Nearly 1,200 Sailors attended the MyNavy Career Development Symposium (CDS), hosted by Navy Personnel Command, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) Jan. 16-17.

MyNavy CDS brings senior leadership to the Fleet to explain, discuss and answer questions about new and upcoming Sailor 2025 personnel system modernization initiatives. Pacific Fleet Sailors who attended the CDS learned firsthand how these changes will impact their professional and personal lives.

“Choice, flexibility and transparency — that’s what we’re aiming for with Sailor 2025,” said Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice Adm. Robert Burke. “All these transformation processes are being designed around you and your families. We are eliminating administrative distractions to allow for a better work/life balance while allowing you to focus on the mission.”

Sailors saw demonstrations of the new Performance Evaluation system’s coaching tool and a prototype of the Detailing Marketplace and learned about upcoming changes to enlisted advancements. Sailors were encouraged to speak up and ask questions throughout the event, either by using their cellphones to ask questions anonymously or by participating in a senior leadership panel discussion conducted toward the end of each session.

“I’m glad of the changes they’re making,” said Information Systems Technician 1st Class Malcolm Johnson, divisional leading petty officer assigned to Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station, Pacific. “They’re getting rid of some redundancies and inefficiencies we’ve been dealing with.”

CDS has made career management information more accessible by visiting the region and presenting information that can be hard to come by for Sailors new to the Navy and don’t know where to look for it, Johnson added.

Chief Culinary Specialist Robert Tindal, assistant food service officer assigned to JBPHH, said, “We need to change to keep pace with the new technology and expectations of the new Sailors coming in. These updates and new incentives are very much in line with what we will need in the future.”

Detailers and community managers were also available to explain detailing specifics to Sailors, provide advice for future planning and even to provide rating designations to Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (PACT) Sailors.

“It’s amazing to be able to talk and get things done on the spot,” said Navy Counselor 1st Class Iris Valdesmendez, assigned to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37).

“I brought Airman Reyes with me to talk to our enlisted community manager (ECM) to see if we could get him a rate, and we were able to negotiate him into becoming an Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM). Normally we have to discuss it over the phone or send paperwork and wait — but he was able to get a job in just one day.”

Airman Matthew Reyes, the newly rated AM assigned to HSM-37, said that he was happy he was able to get the job he had been working toward so quickly since he was able to see his detailer in person.

Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), Adm. Phil Davidson hosted Japan’s Minister of Defense, His Excellency Takeshi Iwaya, at the USINDOPACOM headquarters, Jan. 18.

“It was an honor to have Minister of Defense Iwaya here at USINDOPACOM,” Said Davidson. “The U.S. and Japan alliance is the cornerstone for peace and security throughout the region. Japan is a trusted ally and I know that working together we can maintain a Free and Open Indo-Pacific reinforced by the international rule of law for the good of global stability.”

Iwaya came to Hawaii after a trip to Washington D.C. where he met with Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick M. Shanahan.

Earlier in the day he toured the Pacific Missile Range Facility and participated in a wreath laying ceremony with Adm. Davidson on Ford Island, Jan. 19.

The two leaders discussed Japan’s new National Defense Program Guidelines, as well as the future of U.S.-Japan defense cooperation in the region. Together, the U.S. and Japan continue to promote cooperation toward a Free and Open Indo-Pacific, a vision reflected in both countries’ National Strategies.

This is the Minister’s first trip to Hawaii since assuming his position on Oct. 18, and will serve to further deepen the already strong ties between the U.S. and Japan. The visit demonstrates the shared common values and interests between Japan and the U.S., and emphasizes both nations’ commitment to the security of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific.

USINDOPACOM protects and defends, in concert with other U.S. Government agencies, the territory of the United States, its people, and its interests. With allies and partners, USINDOPACOM is committed to enhancing stability in the Indo-Pacific region by promoting security cooperation, encouraging peaceful development, responding to contingencies, deterring aggression, and, when necessary, fighting to win. This approach is based on partnership, presence, and military readiness.
