MCSFCO Celebrates Marine Corps 236th Birthday MC2(SW/AW) Justin Ailes Gazette Editor
T
he Marine Corps Security Force Company (MCSFCO) at Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hosted the annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball, Nov. 11. The event was held to showcase the 236th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps while honoring Marines serving past and present. “236 years after its inception by a resolution of the Continental Congress, our Corps still exists due to our Marines continued professionalism and dedication to our country and upholding our Corps Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment,” said MCSFCO Company 1st. Sgt. Richard Anderson. “The Marine Corps Birthday is a special event for all Marines,
however, it is especially a proud and inspiring moment for Marines stationed aboard NS Guantanamo Bay considering our illustrious history here.” The celebration was held at NS Guantanamo Bay’s Windjammer Ballroom through coordinated assistance from service members and civilians Anderson said. “The support from the families and friends of MCSFCO was fantastic,” said Anderson. “Many of the spouses from the community assisted in the decoration of the ballroom and the set up of the entire event. Their assistance was an integral part of the success of our birthday. I want to thank the Marines involved in the ceremony as their professionalism and dedication to our traditions is what made this a birthday to remember.”

GTMO Conducts EOC IMT Training
Sailor recognized as 3,000th attendee MC2(SW/AW) Justin Ailes Gazette Editor
N
aval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hosted Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Incident Management Training (IMT) at Bulkeley Hall Auditorium, Nov. 14-17. In coordination with Shore Operations Training Group (SOTG), the course was provided for primary and alternate EOC manning personnel, to instruct students how a standard EOC functions, is organized, and manned. “It is an important introduction for students to see how the nation as a whole operates,” said NS Guantanamo Bay Installation Training Officer Kevin Robarge. “This is all part of the compliance with presidential directives, and other guidance that has instructed all military branches to comply with and be able to operate in conjunction with other civilian and government agencies.” EOC IMT guidance began with Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) and functional aspects are coordinated through the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Robarge said. “Students will have a better understanding of how an EOC should function,” said Robarge. “They will understand and be able to identify functional processes, organize support and direct from an EOC stance, and how to apply those concepts here.” At the conclusion of training, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Keith Chirstensen was awarded a plaque and certificate as the 3,000th U.S. Navy personnel to complete the course. “I think it’s important to learn this for
anyone who will be functioning in this type of capacity at GTMO, as well as future EOC representatives,” said Robarge. An EOC is a central command and control facility responsible for carrying out the principles of emergency preparedness and emergency management, or disaster management functions at a strategic level during emergency situations. An EOC ensures the continuity of operation of a company, political subdivision or other organization. The common functions of EOC’s are to collect, gather and analyze data, make decisions that protect life and property, maintain continuity of the organization and disseminate those decisions to all concerned agencies and individuals.

Phase 4 Of GTMO’s U.S. Naval Hospital Renovations Begin Stacey Byington U.S. Naval Hospital Public Affairs Officer
U
.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay (USNH) announces that on Monday, Nov. 21, it is concluding Phase 3 and beginning Phase 4 of the $15 million hospital renovation that began in October 2009, which necessitates moving the main entrance of the hospital to the east side of the building. During Phase 3 of the renovation, which is expected to take about six months, “A” Wing of the hospital (main entrance/ quarterdeck) will be completely closed. Affected offices include the Command suite, hospital Human Resources, Patient Records, Business Operations, Pharmacy, patient ward, and the Dental Clinic. The hospital quarterdeck and main entrance is being relocated temporarily to the east entrance, just past the Emergency Room. The Command suite and Human Resources are moving to the second floor of “B” Wing. Patient Records and the Business Administration offices are temporarily moving to “D” Wing next to the Hospital Galley. The patient ward is being moved to temporary spaces in “B” Wing .
The Dental Clinic move was initiated last week. The Pharmacy was relocated earlier in the month to Bldg. H-14, behind the main hospital building. “It is important that everyone on the base know that during these renovations, no hospital services will be interrupted,” said LCDR Willie Carter, MSC, USNH Director of Administration. “CAPT Richard Stoltz, MSC, USNH Commanding Officer, has directed that it will be ‘business as usual,’ and it is imperative to make this long-term renovation as seamless as possible for people who need hospital services.” Signs will be posted throughout the hospital, and there will be maps available at the quarterdeck to help patients and their family members find their way around the renovations. “There will also be a big sign as people enter the hospital complex directing them to the temporary main entrance on the east side of the building,” said Carter. “Patients need to be aware of all the changes occurring around the hospital, and the staff is working very hard to ensure that the impact of the renovations does not affect patients more than absolutely necessary. The hospital is always open for business.”
GTMO’s Weapons Department Conduct Demolition Operations MC2(SW) Jacques Renard Defense Media Activity Guantanamo Bay
T
he Weapons Department at Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba conducted ordinance demolition operations, Nov. 15-18. In coordination with Explosive Ordinance Demolition Mobile Unit Six, Mayport Fl., the demolition operation was conducted to dispose of unusable ammunition. “We’ve got a lot of bad ammo,” said Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class
David Carrol. “This ordnance is rusted, corroded, and unsafe, outdated, unexploded, and is no longer effective, so we’re blowing it up.” The demolition and disposal process took place at NS Guantanamo Bay’s Granadillo Range from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. “The fire department and paramedics were on standby during the demolitions as a safety precaution,” said Carrol. “Base officials took the necessary precautions in advising the community of the explosions ensuring the community was not alarmed.”

O
nce upon a time in the south of England, there was a home for rich, lonely, old women. They were under the care of a very solicitous and well compensated staff, and passed the time complaining day-by-day of their various physical ailments. The real illness was the complete emptiness of their lives. While walking along the boundary of the estate’s property one day, one of the rich residents met a destitute old woman carrying all her earthy possessions in a single sack. So moved was the rich lady at what she saw, that she immediately offered her sweater to the woman. The poor woman’s grateful smile was something the rich woman had never experienced. Instantly, the rich woman rushed back to her room and went through her closets, pulling out entire collections of sweaters and dresses, coats, blouses, and skirts. She determined to repair and give away every article. Another resident walking by poked her head in the door curiously and asked what was go-
ing on. Full of excitement and new-found enthusiasm, she told the story of her meeting with the poor woman. The visitor returned to her own room, and began going through her drawers and footlockers. She, in turn, shared the story with another resident, and that woman told another. It wasn’t long before all of the residents were collecting and repairing and cleaning clothing. Soon, each of them had their own stories to tell of the good they discovered they could do. Today, the rich old women have no need of the services of the staff having become so involved in their new project. All the previous nondescript physical aches and pains seem to have just disappeared. And so it is with us. Just outside the boundaries of our own lives live the needy of all descriptions. Our own personal collection of aches and pains, our own routines and habits, our own ideas about what’s right and wrong, our own values and attitudes, can have the effect of so turning our focus inward that these unfortunate others don’t even exist for us. So if, while surrounded by everything you ever wanted and needed in life you still feel something’s missing, the story above could be yours.
VETERANS DA
Veterans Day Ceremony Honors Service Members MC2(SW/AW) Justin Ailes Gazette Editor
T
he Multicultural Observance Committee at Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hosted the installation’s Veterans Day observance ceremony, Nov. 11. The event was held to honor veterans of all wars and call upon Americans to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace. “This observance showed just how much of a family we are here in Guantanamo Bay,” said Equal Opportunity Advisor Chief Master at Arms Ricky Carter. “We pulled together to honor not just our veterans, but all veterans past and present.” Marine Corps Security Force Company (MCSFCO) Commanding Officer Maj. Winston Tierney and retired
Army veteran/former Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post Commander Darrell “Sarge” Laborn served as guest speakers for the event. “Veterans Day is about remembering those who have gone before us, those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and especially giving thanks,” said ceremony attendee and 10-year Navy veteran Sarah Carter. “Shaking hands and never forgetting those who have served, and are serving in any military branch, is what this day is all about.” The U.S. Congress formally declared the observance of Veterans Day to the historically significant date of November 11th in 1978. The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held annually on this date at Arlington National Cemetery.

MCPON Message to the Fleet: No Second Chances for Drug Abuse MCPON(SS/SW) Rick D. West Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy
M
aster Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)(SS/ SW) Rick D. West, released the following message on drug abuse, which focuses on “Spice,” herbal products and other designer drugs, to the fleet, Feb. 11: “Shipmates, there has been an alarming rise in the number of Sailors who are choosing to use ‘Spice,’ herbal products and other so-called designer drugs; and this must come to an immediate stop. More than 150 Sailors are currently being processed for ‘Spice’ use, possession or distribution, and this is UNSAT. Overall, the Navy has separated 1,374 Sailors in FY09; 1,308 Sailors in FY10; and 302 Sailors during the first quarter of FY11, for drug abuse. These unexpected losses negatively affect our commands’ manning levels, which in turn affects the commands’ operational and warfighter readiness. The Navy’s policy on drug abuse is simple and clear - zero tolerance, and there are no second chances. NAVADMIN 108/10 states the following on drug abuse: ‘Drug abuse includes the wrongful use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of a controlled substance. Drug abuse also includes the unlawful use of controlled substance analogues (designer drugs), natural substances (e.g., fungi, excretions), chemicals (e.g., chemicals wrongfully used as inhalants), propellants and/or prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or pharmaceutical compounds with the intent to induce intoxication, excitement, or stupefaction of the central nervous system, and will subject the violator to punitive action under the UCMJ and/or adverse administrative action.’ Some examples of substances mentioned above where the wrongful use constitutes drug abuse includes, but is not limited to the following: Products that contain synthetic cannabi-
noid compounds, such as “Spice,” genie, blaze, dream, ex-ses, spark, fusion, dark knight, yukatan fire, and K2. Natural substances such as salvia divinorum and mushrooms. Common items abused by inhaling or huffing, such as Dust Off, glue, paint thinner and gasoline. Over-the-counter products such as Robitussin and Coricidin HBP. Prescription medications such as Oxycodone, Vicodin, Adderall, and Valium. If you didn’t know, ‘Spice’ is a mixture of natural herbs and synthetic cannabinoids, that when smoked, produce a marijuana-like ‘high’ that decreases motor skills, impairs coordination and concentration, and effects short-term memory and senses. The effects of these substance is unpredictable when combined with alcohol, and since the chemical blends are continuously manipulated and the strength of the synthetic chemical used is unknown, there is no way to know what you are getting in the drugs nor what the long-term health risks are if used. Some of the side effects from these drugs included uncontrolled vomiting, excessive sweating, flushed skin, increased heart rate and high blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. If this sounds like a good time to you, then go ahead and hand over your rank and paycheck, and possibly your life. Bottom line: The use and even just the possession of ‘Spice,’ herbal products, designer drugs, chemicals used for huffing, salvia divinorum, or products containing synthetic cannabinoid compounds are prohibited. Leadership, along with Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is aggressively working to catch personnel who are possessing, using, or distributing drugs; and when you get caught, your career will be over. Drug abuse goes against our Navy’s core values and ethos, and it is a threat to lives, unit and mission readiness and morale. It is every Sailor’s responsibility to deter drug abuse. If you do the crime, you will do the time. Remember zero tolerance and no second chances. GM1 Michael Braun Weapons Department

T
he Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) at Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba presented comedian/actress Caroline Rhea, Nov. 10. In coordination with Navy Region Southeast, the event was offered to base residents as a way to entertain the community with a night of laughs. “Performing for the troops is my biggest way of saying thank you,” said Caroline Rhea. “I appreciate the sacrifice service members make every single day, and providing some entertainment for them is very special for me.” The 18-and-over, free comedy show took place at NS Guantanamo Bay’s at the downtown Lyceum. “We haven’t had a live comedy act since March so this event was a real treat for our community,” said MWR Community Activities Director Amiee MacDonnell. Caroline Rhea has appeared in numerous movies and television shows including sitcom “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” and as host of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.”
