SEA WARRIOR LEADERSHIP Photos and Story by MC3 Spencer Roberts USS Theodore Roosevelt Public Affairs eing frocked as a new third class petty officer can be an exciting and overwhelming experience. All the qualifications, new responsibilities, and advancing further in rank can be stressful for a Sailor. Sailors aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) created a course to help junior Sailors make the transition into becoming experienced petty officers and improved sea warriors. The Sea Warrior Leadership Course (SWLC) is a five-day course designed to give newly-advanced Sailors a more hands-on leadership experience, through various training evolutions to include studying strategies and hose handling. “SWLC was designed based around some of the principles from petty officer indoctrination,” said ET2 Bethany Littlemoses, creator of SWLC. “We are teaching the new third classes to be leaders and assume the responsibilities they will be acquiring. They are integrated into a fully hands-on environment. Not only are they learning these new skills, but they are putting them into practice as well.” Littlemoses created the SWLC as a potential alternative to the Navy’s Petty Officer Indoctrination Course. The difference between the two is the teaching

style, focused on how Sailors retain training best. “The biggest difference between the SWLC and Petty Officer Indoctrination Course is no PowerPoint,” said Senior Chief Chanda Clifton, senior leader of SWLC. “You are actually getting hands-on training with various scenarios as well as leadership theories to advance your skills. Also, we have second and third classes teaching newly-frocked third classes instead of first classes and chiefs teaching the third classes.” One Sailor taking the course believes that SWLC’s interactive nature keeps Sailors’ attention more effectively than traditional petty officer indoctrination courses. “This course isn’t just interactive but realistic,” said DC3 Bettina Bueno, a participant in SWLC. “The situations and scenarios they have us participate in are situations we can definitely see ourselves being in on board. We’ve done just about everything from making flash cards to study to getting soaked during the damage control portion.” “Training like we fight, so we are ready for the fight when it is in front of us,” is said before every general quarter aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt. Littlemoses hopes that SWLC makes the transition from petty officer indoctrination’s PowerPoint to training like we fight. “I would love for the crew to embrace this program and support it,” said Littlemoses. “I believe that this program will not only make stronger Sailors but will also change the way our Navy trains Sailors.”

MAIL CALL MAIL CALL Story by MC3 Anthony Rivera USS Theodore Roosevelt Public Affairs ritten from the heart, sealed with a promise and sent off with faith, families place a lot of time and care into packages they send off to their Sailors. All military mail, no matter where it comes from in the United States, has to travel through Chicago. There, it’s processed and distributed to the ship’s current operating area. In Theodore Roosevelt’s case, Bahrain is where all those letters and packages wait to be delivered to the ship via Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) or replenishmentat-sea. In some cases, it may take more than a month for packages or mail to get from sender to receiver. When mail finally reaches the ship, the last thing mail clerks want to do is tell Sailors their mail was ruined due to poor packaging. “In the military mail channels, mail can take a beating because of the length that it has to go,” said Chief Logistics Specialist Vincent Aldrich, postal officer assigned to Theodore Roosevelt and a native of Louisville, Kentucky. “A lot of mail is piled on top of each other and if it’s an empty box, the lids will fold in.” To prevent this, it is important to tightly pack packages, leaving little to no empty space. It becomes especially troublesome when the crushed boxes contain liquids, said Aldrich. Aldrich explained that the containers liquids are shipped in frequently break, inevitably damaging other packages and making it harder to find the Sailor or Marine who it belongs to. Aldrich examined a box, completely crushed with liquid spread across the label. “Of all places, it hits the address label so I’m unable to read the address,” said Aldrich.

To ease the process, Aldrich suggested placing a slip of paper inside the package with the address on it. Some of the damaged liquid items included energy drinks, sodas and iced teas - all of which are frequently available for purchase on board. “Somebody sent Arizona juice, literally the gallon juice, and it busted all over everyone else’s mail,” said Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Nadia Poitier, postal mail clerk assigned to Theodore Roosevelt and a native of Miami, Florida. “Whoever sent that package messed up everyone else’s mail, which is sad but it happens.” Luckily for the crew, this was one of only a few damaged parcels received during the RAS. “I want to say at the most there were 15 bags,” said Poitier. “It wasn’t a lot, which was good because the first time we ran this it was bad.”

Not all mail dilemmas stem from poor packaging. Sometimes, items are packed and sent perfectly but still have the potential to be lost overboard between TR and the replenishment ships. Because of this, it is highly advised to not send high-value or sentimental items through the mail. Overall, Poitier commended her team on how well they executed receiving and sorting through all 314 bags of mail. “I think everyone was just so excited,” said Poitier. “It’s just a good feeling to be a part of something that big because even the CO really recognizes it. We get mail for the CO too.” Regardless of rank, receiving mail reinforces a connection to home. It is thanks to the commitment of the postal clerks and postal officers that mail safely gets to Sailors and Marines. To mitigate the risk of not receiving mail, Sailors should ensure that packages are reinforced and filled as tightly as possible and avoid ordering liquid products to prevent not only damaging a package, but also the priceless and sometimes irreplaceable items shipmates currently embarked aboard Theodore Roosevelt hope to receive.

Chiefs

amiliar voices echoed through the scullery as steam gently billowed out of the tiny, metal window. The voices weren’t from the regular food service attendants normally washing dishes. These were the deckplate leaders. These were USS Theodore Roosevelt's (CVN 71) very own chiefs. “We all know that pretty much all E4 and below work their butts off,” said CMDCM Andrew Frederick, Theodore Roosevelt’s command master chief. “One of the reasons the chiefs were working in the scullery was to give the people a break in whatever way we could and to show support to our TR family.” This wasn’t just a way for chiefs to alleviate some of the stress from junior Sailors. It was also a fundraising event. The TR Chief Petty Officer’s Association sponsored a “Vote Your Chief in the Scullery” event, in which Sailors paid a dollar per vote to send their “favorite” chief to scrub in the scullery. “It was fun to see how exited the Sailors were to get their chief in the scullery,” said ITC Lacey Pipolo. “It was great to see people coming up to our board and seeing where their chief ranked in comparison to others. You had people rallying their friends together to pool their money and bump their chief up to the top. It was a really good time.” After two weeks, the 20 chiefs with the most votes either washed dishes, sorted silverware, or cleaned up in the scullery. “Half of the money raised is going to MWR, to pay 12

for Sailors’ tours in port,” said Frederick. “We raised $3,200 for MWR and along with that, the Mustangs matched us, so there’s going to be $6,400 going toward TR Sailors who paid for tours in Dubai.” Frederick said that the name of every TR Sailor who purchased a tour will be put in a hat. Those whose names are drawn will be called down to the Chiefs’ Mess and their MWR tour will be refunded until the $6,400 is gone. “I was very happy with the outcome,” said Frederick. “It was great to see the chiefs getti ng down and dirty, and the money raised by everybody went to a great cause. I just hope that everyone saw the chiefs as not always the bad guys, and I hope that people saw the Chiefs’ Mess out there helping everybody in more ways than one.”

4 CHANGES YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

MY NAVY PORTAL From Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

ailors will see four updates when they log into My Navy Portal (MNP), after Dec. 6. MNP is designed to combine personnel, training and education websites for Sailors into one easy-to-use location at https://my.navy.mil. The site provides Sailors with a single selfservice portal to manage their careers from the day they join to the day they separate. The latest updates are: 1. The login page has a new look and gives Sailors the option of a low or high bandwidth site. The "Quick Links" and "About MNP" pages have also been redesigned to be more user-friendly. 2. A new appointment scheduler feature allows Sailors to make and manage appointments with a Navy College education counselor for career and voluntary education (VOLED) guidance and to set up taking academic and foreign language tests. The scheduler is in the "Training, Education, Qualifications" Career and Life Event section. This complements services already offered by the Navy College Program website and mobile application, as well as language testing managed by the Center for Language, Regional Expertise and Culture. 3. As a result of Sailor feedback, the General Military Training (GMT) page has been redesigned so that course listings are now in a format that is easier to read and understand, making it easier to complete mandatory training. The new GMT page is found by going to "Professional Resources," "General Skills Training" and then "General Military Training (GMT)."

4. MNP now has 10 Career and Life Event (CLE) categories, which organize content based on real tasks that Sailors must perform to manage their careers. The "Collateral Duty" CLE has been removed and the information added into the "Performance" CLE. The other nine CLEs continue to be "New to the Navy," "Advancement & Promotion," "Assignment, Leave, Travel," "Career Continuation," "Deployment," "Pay & Benefits," "Retirement & Separation," "Sailor & Family Support," and "Training, Education, Qualifications." All 10 CLEs are available as buttons on the bottom of the first page Sailors see when they log in or from the top menu under "Career & Life Events." Sailors are encouraged to continue providing feedback by visiting the feedback section or using the page-specific feedback feature. Sailors who need help desk support can contact 1-855-NAVY-311 (1-855-628-9311), submit a service request through MNP or email MNP_helpdesk@navy.mil.

Hospital Corpsman Photo and Story by MM3 Andrew Langholf USS Theodore Roosevelt Public Affairs he largest and most-decorated rating in the Navy is Hospital Corpsman, with more than 24,500 Sailors. Navy Hospital Corpsman NAVEDTRA 14295 states that the first Navy physicians were assisted by “loblolly boys,” who served patients a daily ration of porridge, also known as loblolly. Other duties included providing sick bays with containers to collect amputated limbs and supplying coal to heat tar, used to stop hemorrhaging. “We’ve been around since the inception of the Navy and have been called many different things from loblolly boy to apothecaries,” said HM1 Robert High, TR’s Medical Department LPO and senior radiation health technician. Hospital Corpsmen gave aid during World War I, World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War. They were the first responders to the victims injured stateside at the Pentagon and World Trade Center on September 11th. Every major conflict the U.S. took part in during the past 200 years has seen some form of a Hospital Corpsman. “From going into harm’s way while storming the beaches of Normandy in WW2 to serving alongside our Marine Corps brothers in Vietnam, HMs have been there,” said HMCS Michael Tabura, TR’s Medical Department LCPO. Since their establishment, Hospital Corpsman have earned 22 Medals of Honor, 174 Navy Crosses, 31 Distinguished Service Medals, 946 Silver Stars, and 1582 Bronze Stars. HMs keep Sailors and Marines mission ready, from treating patients for head colds and heat-stress related

injuries during sick call, to responding to a mass casualty on the flight deck. They provide preventative care, dental cleanings, lab work, pharmacy, and patient to support during battle stations. “The greatest honor for us as health care professionals is that we get to take care of our Sailors and Marines, making sure they are able to execute the mission every single day,” said Tabura. Corpsmen can earn more than 30 Navy Enlisted Classification codes. Some NECs allow HMs to serve as independent-duty corpsmen, or as field medical service technicians deployed to combat zones with Marines. “We serve everywhere. If there’s a base, there are probably Corpsmen there,” said High. “Our rating is very diverse. We have more NECs than any other rating. Any interest you have in being a Hospital Corpsman, we have a specialty for it." 17
