Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Executive Officer Cmdr. William Rabchenia earned his Bachelor of Arts in general studies.
uantanamo’s Navy College conferred 19 associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees to students from their respective academic institutions during a commencement ceremony at the base chapel, March 20. Capt. Charles Hollingsworth, the commanding officer of the Navy’s Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD), gave the commencement address to the class of 2011. “All over this world, we have awesome professionals that are helping Sailors and their families accomplish their educational dreams,” said Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth offered advice to Sailors planning to stay in the Navy. “There is no doubt that no matter your rate, getting a degree broadens your horizons,” said Hollingsworth. “Getting that degree makes you a better critical thinker. Being that independent thinker is a valuable asset to our service.” Hollingsworth encouraged Sailors, especially those on shore duty on Guantanamo Bay, to pursue educational opportunities. “It is much more difficult when on sea duty,” said Hollingsworth. “Even if you are only here for 18 months, try to knock out a semester—two if you can.” Using tuition assistance, active-duty servicemembers can pursue any level of education, said Hollingsworth. “To address concerns about a tight budget, I am happy to report that tuition assistance funding should not be a problem through the end of this fiscal year,” said Hollingsworth. “Plan ahead and get the web tuition assistance (WebTA) brief so that we can approve and process your tuition assistance for the fall semester.” For more information on Navy College, CPPD and their combined services, call Guantanamo’s Navy College office at 2227 or e-mail navy. college.gtmo@usnbgtmo.navy.mil.

he Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Overseas program on Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is promoting nutrition this month in an effort to promote awareness and positive nutritional choices to help service members and their families maintain a healthy lifestyle. WIC is supporting National Nutrition Month, an initiative of the American Dietetic Association, which is designed to focus attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. “WIC plays a part in this campaign based on the fact that it is a nutrition education and supplemental food program,” said Marty Bledsoe, a registered nurse and program manager for WIC in Guantanamo. “The goal is to increase public awareness on eating right and including daily physical activity to live healthier lives.” WIC provides participants and their families with nutritious food, tips on how to prepare a balanced meal, nutrition and health screenings, and access to other resources that will help members lead healthier lives, said Bledsoe. Bledsoe said people should follow five steps to a healthier life: - Eat right with color. “Add a variety of nutrients to your plate by choosing fruits and vegetables with different colors,” said Bledsoe. - Limit the amounts of foods you eat and drink that contain added sugars. - Opt for low-fat dairy and lean meat products rather than their fatty counterparts. - Do not skip breakfast. “Starting the day with a high-fiber, low-fat breakfast will help you consume fewer calories the rest of the day, and provide your body with nutrients and calories that are needed throughout the morning,” said Bledsoe. - Make exercise fun, and work out aerobically at least an hour a day, five or six days per week. “The right kinds of food and physical activity will supply you with all the vital nutrients that you need to ensure your body’s growth, vitality, fertility, and maintenance,” said Bledsoe. “We can, therefore, eat our way to a healthier body.” 1. Which fast food item is the lowest in calories? A) Super-size french fries B) A Big Mac C) A Taco Bell chicken or beef salad
2. How many servings of fruits and vegetables should you have per day?
5. Which type of fish is richest in omega-3 fatty acids per 3.5 oz.? A) Trout B) Salmon C) Anchovies
A) At least 5 B) At least 3 C) At least 2
3. Which drink should be consumed daily? A) Water B) Juice C) Soda
4. Which food is a healthy alternative to highfat snacks? A) Frozen, 100% juice bars B) Jelly beans C) Corn chips
your score
Mostly As: Your knowledge of healthy foods will lead you to a healthy lifestyle, if you are not living a healthy lifestyle already. Mostly Bs: Your level of health knowledge is up there, but there is still room for improvement. Visit MyPyramid.gov and build a food pyramid that fit your needs. Mostly Cs: Yikes! Time for an overhaul of your diet and health needs. (That Taco Bell salad has around 300 more calories than a Big Mac!)

amily housing on Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, received the 2010 National Customer Service “A List” Award for Excellence in family housing services in late January. The “A List” award was received after Guantanamo attained a 20 percent return rate for customer service surveys with a rating of 85 or more for all neighborhoods on the installation. Base housing on Guantanamo is divided into five groups, and each group receives a survey, said Rudy Sammons, housing director
on NS Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. “The [survey] process starts with customer service surveys being delivered door-to-door here in GTMO,” said Sammons. “We survey residents’ satisfaction with customer service and the condition of their dwelling.” Servicemembers and civilians on Guantanamo are faced with a unique living situation when compared to other bases, as all must reside in government quarters, said Sammons. “Our [housing’s] role is to provide virtually everyone on base with the best housing we can,” said Sammons. “Many military and civilians have never lived in government quarters before, and it’s our job to look out for the dwelling and follow rules and regulations put in place by Commander, Navy Installations Command.”
A closeness to God, Psalm 139 Lt. Douglas Holmes
NS Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, deputy command chaplain
O
ften, as I read scriptures, I come across the personal relationship of an individual to the God that they serve. In the passage below, we find one man, King David, sharing an intimate moment with his God. “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me; You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down, you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord.” Psalm 139. King David’s relationship to God shapes his entire perspective on life. He knew he was not alone, and that a greater being was at work around him, that he could draw upon God’s endless wisdom, and remain close to God and his justices ... he could count on God’s might whenever he needed. The great King David valued having God in his life. God was his someone to lean on during troubled times, and the example to follow for a righteous life. Now, if you have never considered it before, ponder the value of becoming closer with God. Ponder the value it could have in your life.
avy Gateway Inns and Suites (NGIS) of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be presented the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Award for excellence in housing and lodging management at the Professional Housing Management Association conference in Fort Worth, Texas, March 31. Rear Adm. Townsend “Tim” Alexander, Commander, Navy Region Southeast, will present the award, which establishes Guantanamo’s NGIS as a five-star housing and lodging operation. The Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Award recognizes installations that provide exceptional facilities, amenities and services to residents and guests. “We use the CNIC-set standard to help us operate well,” said Rudy Sammons, Guantanamo’s NGIS director. “It helps us focus on doing the best we can.” Each NGIS in the Navy must undergo an accreditation process every two years, where CNIC inspectors visit an installation and analyze every facet of its NGIS program. “They [CNIC] inspected everything,” said Sammons, “to include our front desks, parking areas, reception areas, [employee] uniforms, housekeeping, laundry services, administration, financial management, customer service and inventory control.” The accreditation process awards points for excellence in these areas. Each installation’s NGIS is eligible to receive up to 634 points toward accreditation. Installations that receive more than 572 points are considered five-star NGIS programs and are recognized for their excellence by being awarded the Zumwalt award. Guantanamo’s NGIS employees’ attention to detail helped the installation score more than 572 points, said Sammons. Guantanamo’s NGIS comprises more than 1,600 beds in ten base facilities that house visitors and contractors.

is the National and Department of Defense theme for this year’s observance of Women’s History month from March 1 – 31. U.S. Navy commands throughout the world are recognizing the contributions women have made since they were allowed to enter the Navy in 1908 with the establishment of the Nurse Corps. More than 53,000 active-duty women and more than 10,000 female reservists are serving in the Navy today. Of the total women serving in the Navy, approximately 8,500 are officers and 45,500 are enlisted. For Navy Lt. Vivian Maner, the observance provides female Sailors throughout the Navy an opportunity to highlight their contributions and of those women who came before them. As the Food Service Officer for Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Maner is responsible for its three galleys, one café and Joint Task Force – Guantanamo detainee food program. Maner said the women who came before her were brave, because they stood up against separation. “I am truly grateful for the women who came before me, because they paved the road for me to step in and not have to fight these battles, so that I can have a much better career path,” said Maner. That career path brought Maner to the Naval Station where in 2010 she and her personnel served over 870,000 meals to service members and other residents, and coordinated over 96 special meals and 43 VIP receptions for top-level meetings with visiting dignitaries and Congress representatives. She and her staff were also instrumental in serving meals to the 9/11 victims’ families who were hosted by the Naval Station and JTF-GTMO last year. Maner and her staff were also recipients of a seventh consecutive
