SS Oak Hill (LSD 51) ported Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Dec. 13. After completing its deployment in support of Amphibious Southern Partnership Station in the Caribbean area of operations, the Amphibious Dock Landing Ship arrived to conduct agricultural counter-measure wash downs of all embarked equipment before returning to the U.S. “This is the first chance that most of my crew of 300 and the other 400 embarked Marines, Air Force, Army and Coast Guard personnel have ever had to visit Guantanamo Bay,” said Oak Hill Commanding Officer Cmdr. David Bauer. “I am honored to have had the opportunity to sail the Mighty Oak into this port, and we all look forward to meeting those of you stationed here and
enjoying this excellent location.” During the Amphibious Southern Partnership Station deployment, Oak Hill conducted missions in coordination with military forces in Colombia, Panama, Honduras and Guatemala. “Besides the wash down, we will refuel, conduct maintenance and take on supplies,” said Amphibious Southern Partnership Station Public Affairs Officer Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Isaiah Sellers. “The crew will also take advantage of GTMO’s marksmanship range to maintain vital weapons qualifications.” NS Guantanamo Bay’s Port Operations department served as the primary point of contact for the visiting vessel, arranging all services while in port. “This visit is important for the Oak Hill as they are heading home after a successful deployment and an agricultural wash down is a requirement prior to their reFrom more see USS OAK HILL • page 6

Gold Hill Galley Participates In Ney Inspection MC2(SW/AW) Justin Ailes Gazette Editor
T
he Gold Hill Galley at Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba participated in the Capt. Edward F. Ney Award inspection, Dec. 12. Navy Food Service inspectors were on hand to assess daily operations as the Gold Hill Galley is one of two shore installation food service facilities nominated outside the continental U.S. (OCONUS) for the Ney Award. “We’re here to take a look at the overall operation of the galley,” said Officer in Charge Navy Food Management Team Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and Naval Supply Systems Command/Navy Food Service Inspector David Webb. “There are two facilities nominated each year, and to be selected for review is a very significant accomplishment.” The Capt. Edward F. Ney Award for food service excellence is awarded to galleys that earn a five-star rating from a Navy evaluation team. The Secretary of the Navy and the International Food Service Executives Association established the Capt. Edward F. Ney Memorial Awards
Program in 1958. The award is designed to improve food service operations and recognize the best general messes in the Navy. “We’re being evaluated on food preparation, sanitation, customer service, and facilities management,” said Gold Hill Galley Assistant Food Service Officer Master Chief Petty Officer Culinary Specialist Patrick Campbell. “To be selected for this inspection means our personnel are professional and spot-on every day. This is a huge honor for our team. To watch these young Sailors do their job to the best of their ability every day, is priceless to me.” The inspection serves as the galley’s back-to-back nomination as Gold Hill staff took top honors as recipients of the Ney Award last year. “To me, this means we are possibly the best shore galley in the Navy,” said Gold Hill Galley Financial Manager Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Jason Thompson. “It feels good to be a part of this again. This is the best galley I’ve been to with the best chain of command.” The winning recipient of the Ney Award will be announced in early 2012.

Navy Spouse Becomes Naturalized U.S. Citizen At GTMO Terence Peck Public Affairs Officer
A
military spouse reached a milestone in her life when she raised her right hand to become a United States citizen during a Naturalization ceremony at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Dec. 14. Shoko Pukish, who was born in Okinawa, Japan became one of the approximately 680,000 immigrants per year who become U.S. citizens during the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) naturalization ceremonies held throughout the United States and the world. Pukish becomes the second non-military person to be naturalized at GTMO and the third overall. Adijatu Abiose, the USCIS Field Office Director for the U.S. Embassy in Jamaica administered the Oath of
USCIS Field Office Director for the U.S. Embassy Adijatu Abiose administers the Oath of Allegiance to military spouse Shoko Pukish as she becomes a U.S. citizen during a Naturalization ceremony, Dec. 14. Pukish becomes the second nonmilitary person naturalized at GTMO and the third overall.
Allegiance to Pukish. “U.S. citizenship is the highest immigrant benefit possible,” Abiose said. “It is always a pleasure, always an honor to render this status, this benefit on individuals. It’s even more meaningful on U.S. military bases.” After the ceremony, Pukish and her husband of seven years, Lt. Cmdr. Nick Pukish, each gave a short speech. “This is an unbelievable great day for me today,” she said during her speech. “I don’t need to tell all of you that America is a nation of immigrants and that diversity is what makes this country great. I am grateful to be a part of it and to be called an American.” Nick Pukish, a Physician Assistant at Naval Hospital GTMO, said that he was blessed and grateful that he came from the United States and that he has had the opportunity to serve in the greatest and most powerful Navy in the world. “…if it wasn’t for the U.S. Navy, my Country and what she stands for, and the opportunity it offers, I would not be standing here before you today with such a wonderful partner as Shoko, nor would I now be able to call her a fellow American.” For GTMO residents looking for their opportunity to become U.S. citizens, it is important to ask questions, said Abiose. “I think you should be inquiring and asking questions,” said Abiose. “U.S. laws and policies are very sympathetic, very flexible and available to active service, retired and their family members for naturalization.” For more information, stop by the USCIS website at www.USCIS.gov. Guantanamo Bay residents can also send their questions by email to Abiose’s office in Kingston at jamiaca.uscis@dhs.gov. Abiose’s office is responsible for Guantanamo Bay.

A
general of an army asked his subordinates to report the status of his army. One officer said, “Sir, the soldiers are exhausted. I am afraid not all are ready to be sent out into battle. The number of those who are combat-ready are low.” The general said, “Then reduce the number of troops to be deployed.” Another officer said, “Sir, our food supply is running low.” The general said, “Then reduce the food rations.” The third officer reported, “Sir, the troops’ morale is running low. They
The Importance Of Morale
are beginning to doubt, to lose trust and confidence.” To this, the general said with all authority and conviction, “Morale cannot be lowered. The esprit de corps cannot be reduced.” It is very important that everyone in any group or organization be healthy- physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. That’s when morale is high. That’s why there are a medical corps, nurse corps, JAG corps, a chaplain corps and others in the Navy to help Sailors, Marines and all those involved, with mission readiness. Go TEAM GTMO!

T
he U.S. Post Office at Naval Station (NS) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hosted a field trip for students enrolled in W.T. Sampson’s “Sure Start” program, Dec. 7. The field trip was provided to educate the students on the postal employee’s daily activities and operations at the facility. “The students’ visit showed what services the Post Office provides for the community and I’m sure they enjoyed their time here,” said Richard Vargas Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville, Fl./ Guantanamo Detachment Postal Officer. “The event also provided an opportunity for our team to showcase how the office functions and provided great training for our junior Sailors.” Students learned the proper use of office equipment from the facility’s staff and were invited to write and postmark letters to family members and ‘Santa Clause.’
