Station celebrates U. N. Earth Trustee

Award with unique flag raising

From NAS Jacksonville Public Affairs

In preparation for Earth Day celebrations, NAS
Jacksonville Commanding Officer Capt. Jeffrey
Maclay joined with City of Jacksonville and State of
Florida environmental officials April 21 for the first
raising of the United Nations Earth Trustee pennant
on the headquarters flagstaff.
NAS Jacksonville is the first military installation to
be recognized by the United Nations non-governmen-
tal organization Earth Society Foundation when it
received the Earth Trustee Award for excellence in
environmental stewardship, in a ceremony held at
U.N. headquarters in New York City on March 20.
The award recognized NAS Jax for its leading-edge
approach to improve the energy and water efficiency
of its operations.
"What a perfect day sunny and cool for this cer-
emony as the world prepares to commemorate the 41st
Earth Day. This award reflects our station's outstand-
ing environmental program and the Navy's com-
mitment to environmental stewardship, particularly
energy efficiencies targeted to increase mission effec-
tiveness," said Maclay. "This pennant represents our
strong environmental partnership with federal, state
and local governments, as well as regulatory agencies
and surrounding communities. Furthermore, our
23,000 military and civilian personnel take a proactive
environmental compliance and leadership mindset
towards the installation's 24,000 acres of airfields,
industrial repair facilities and bombing ranges."
Maclay also noted that station personnel continu-
ally emphasize the "Three Rs" reduce, reuse and
recycle. "Our environmental and cultural conserva-
tion program also includes the protection of 22 threat-
ened and endangered species, 5,000 acres of forests
and 2,200 acres of wetlands."
Following the skipper's remarks, LS1 Mike
Whitehurst, the air installation's hazardous material
lead petty officer, was joined by Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Director Greg
Strong; FDEP Wastewater Compliance Supervisor
Jeff Martin; Jacksonville Regulatory Environmental
Services Division Chief John Flowe; Jacksonville Chief
of Environmental Quality Division Vince Siebold;
City of Jacksonville Director of Military and Veterans
Affairs Bob Buehn; St. Johns River Water Management
District Basin Program Manager Derek Busby; Navy
Region Southeast Environmental Director Camille
Destafney; NAS Jax Environmental Department
Director Kevin Gartland; and Maclay, to raise the pen-
nant.
Gartland told a local television news reporter, "Our
station has made great strides in developing a compre-
hensive approach to protect the environment, particu-

Maclay presents an Eagle of Excellence Award to

Director Greg Strong for his department's commit-
ment to partnering with the station to protect the
nation and its natural resources during the United
Nations Earth Trustee flag raising ceremony at NAS
Jacksonville on April 21.

larly, NAS Jacksonville's stewardship of the St. Johns
River, which includes our goal of attaining zero waste-
water discharge."
"Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has set vision-
ary goals for reducing energy usage, developing
alternatives to petroleum based fuels, and support-
ing sustainable practices," Gartland added. "NAS
Jacksonville is a prime example of investments made
in sustainable infrastructure, the building of partner-
ships, and protection of waterways to set the founda-
tion for a strong future."
Maclay also recognized the station's environmen-
tal partnerships with the City of Jacksonville, Florida
Department of Environmental Protection and the St.
Johns River Water Management District.
In addition to the historic ceremony, the air installa-
tion hosted tours of its Natural Resources Interpretive
Center, as well as Earth Day energy and water conser-
vation booths at the Navy Exchange and Commissary
Courtyard. More than 10,000 people visited the two
locations.
Also, the Naval Engineering Command Southeast
homeported aboard the base hosted "Earth Day A
Billion Acts of Green" open house featuring cultural,
historical, environmental and energy conservation
displays.

prestigious

Battle 'E' Award

From VP-45 Public Affairs

Rear Adm. Ted Branch, commander, Naval Air
Force Atlantic, and Rear Adm. Michael Hewitt,
commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Group,
presented the Battle "E" award to the "Pelicans" of
VP-45 April 5 at NAS Jacksonville.
The Battle "E" award recognizes sustained supe-
rior performance in all areas of combat readiness.
Squadrons are judged across four combat areas:
maritime warfare, engineering/survivability, com-
mand and control, and logistics management.
Unlike personal awards that recognize individual
achievement or unit awards that recognize par-
ticipation in operations, the Battle "E" award recog-
nizes the combined efforts of the entire squadron
throughout the year. To be awarded the Battle "E" is
a true honor and every Pelican is humbled to wear
their new ribbon.
"It's great to see that all the hard work we do on a
daily basis is recognized. This is my first operation-
al tour, and it's a privilege to be in such a prestigious
command," said Lt. j.g. Pete Brown.
VP-45 received the award following their excep-
tional operational performance while deployed to
both 4th and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility. They

Navy units work

together to save a life

From AIRLANT Public Affairs

Communication and coordination across mul-
tiple naval units is being credited for the rescue of a
civilian scuba diver who was injured April 14 off the
coast of Mayport.
At around 5 p.m., while conducting a standard
training mission, a P-3C Orion aircraft from VP-30
heard a distress call from a civilian vessel that had a
"drowning diver" aboard.
Mission Commander Lt. Cmdr. Andrew Morrison
promptly made the decision to change the focus
from training to search and rescue and answered
the emergency call. He was able to obtain the dis-
tressed ship's latitude and longitude, 25 miles away.
Lt. Hamish Kirkland, patrol plare commander,
directed the aircraft towards the vessel and used
the onboard camera to assess the situation.
They immediately relayed the message to the
local Coast Guard station and began coordination
with the closest surface ship, USS Simpson (FFG 56),
guiding them toward the pleasure craft.
Once overhead, the P-3 crew observed two civil-
ians on the deck of the boat, performing CPR on a
third.
Since Simpson did not have any helicopters
aboard, a call was made requesting helo support.
HSM-40 Commanding Officer Capt. Clay Conley
had just launched from NS Mayport when he
received the call to assist and quickly proceeded
to the location. With no crewmen aboard, he was
unable to conduct a rescue; however he was able to
coordinate getting other helicopters to the scene.
"When I made the radio call requesting helo sup-
port, I received an immediate response from mul-
tiple helicopters operating in the area," said Conley.
"Since I'd been in direct communication with the
P-3, I was able to determine exactly who had the
best crew composition to affect a rescue."

Conference call with VP's wife promises change

By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor riA Tl I |A.

Two weeks ago, I was walking the
aisles of Wal-Mart when my agent
called.
Now, there are two unusual
things you should know about my
agent.
First, her last name is Smiley,
and we are not related (what are
the chances of that?).
Second, she seems to always call
when I'm at Wal-Mart (chances:
very likely).
"Um, I'm at Wal-Mart... again," I
whispered into my phone.
"Okay, but the office of the vice
president is looking for you," she
said.
"Vice president of what?"
"The United States."
I tried to hide my surprise. "Oh,
well, of course they are," I said, a
bag of frozen French fries in my
hand. My mind reeled as I tried to
recall any possibly inflammatory
or offensive columns I may have
recently written. The one lambast-
ing the government for almost not
paying military personnel (last
week's column) was already sub-
mitted but not yet published. I'd
just keep that piece of information
to myself.
The whole interaction remind-
ed me of the time in 2008 when
Michelle Obama's staff was looking
for me. I got that phone call while
I was waiting in a public restroom.
(By the way, these are the perils of
constant communication via cel-
lular phones.)
As it turned out, Vice President
Biden's office wanted me to partici-
pate in'a conference call with his
wife, Dr. Jill Biden, to discuss a new
program called "Joining Forces"
launched by the Vice President,
Michelle Obama and Dr. Biden.
According to a press release,
Joining Forces is "a national ini-
tiative to support and honor
America's service members and
their families. The initiative aims
to educate, challenge and spark
action from all sectors of our soci-
ety-citizens, communities, busi-

nesses, non-profits, faith based
institutions, philanthropic orga-
nizations, and government-to
ensure military families have the
support they have earned."
My first reaction, given .that
I was already feeling spurned by
the looming government shut-
down and frozen military pay: Why
is "government" listed last in the
list? In an earlier statement, Vice
President Biden had said, "We have
lots of obligations as a nation but
only one truly sacred moral obliga-
tion: to prepare and protect those
we send into harm's way, and to
give them every bit of care they,
and their families, need when they
return."
I felt somewhat betrayed think-
ing about the possibility of not
receiving a full paycheck in
what was just one week's time.
Supportive words are nice; money
to pay our mortgage is even better.
This is a common reaction.
There is a tendency for military
families to be skeptical of initia-
tives like "Joining Forces." After all,
calls for support don't necessarily
translate into action and change.
Also, we are leery of being used
as pawns in political debates and
campaigns.
But I vowed to be open-mind-
ed, especially because Dr. Biden
herself is a military mother, with
grandchildren and a daughter-
in-law who have often been in
my shoes: in the role of depen-
dent child and spouse. Also, I was
excited to see that corporations
like Sears, Wal-Mart (Hey, I've
been there!), Sam's Club, Siemens,
Goodwill, Cisco, McGraw Hill,
Discovery Education and more
have committed to offering their
support.
In other words: There was hope
that this initiative might have stay-
ing power.
(Side note: It is a sad state of
affairs when military families have
lost faith in their government to be

the real powerhouse of support.)
During the conference call, it
was important to me to find out if
this initiative is just words or actu-
ally has some muscle. And to be
fair (and real), Joining Forces con-
tains much of the usual soothing,
flowery speech that military fami-
lies have come to view with suspi-
sion. Yet, there are some measur-
able changes being made. To list
just a few:
Sears is offering a "PCS Promise"
to its military employees, assuring
ease of job transfer with the next
permanent change of duty station.
Siemens is saving 10 percent of
more than 3,000 jobs for military
veterans.
Goodwill plans to open 1,300
new jobs for military families and
veterans.
Discovery Education is provid-
ing Department of Defense schools
access to materials to integrate
digital education and content into
classrooms.
Best Buy's Geek Squad will offer
support to families who wish to
communicate via technology with
loved ones deployed overseas.
WebMD is building two online
resource centers (for consumers
and providers) to help those in the
healthcare industries understand
military-family needs.
The American Heart Association
will help military wives and female
veterans learn CPR.
The YMCA, National Military
Family Association and the Sierra
Club will offer free camps in more
than 35 states to 7,000 military kids
and fafnilies.
This is a fantastic start to cre-
ating awareness. And awareness
is the first step to action. It's our
job as military families to keep
these companies and our govern-
ment accountable for the prom-
ises they have made to us. Which
won't always be easy: many of us
are busy waiting for paychecks and
shopping at Wal-Mart.

NAS Jax, Navy League honor Individual Augmentees

By Kaylee LaRocque .
NAS lax Deputy PAO I T

NAS Jacksonville and
the Northeast Florida Navy
League Council hosted their
seventh bi-annual Individual
Augmentee (IA) Appreciation
luncheon April 20 at the NAS
Jax Officers' Club. Fifty-four
IAs from the base and ten-
ant commands and several
spouses were recognized at the
event.
The luncheon kicked off
with the singing of the nation-
al anthem by Kela Stelig and
the invocation by NAS Jax
Command Chaplain Lt. Cmdr.
Shannon Skidmore. Music
was provided by Navy Band
Southeast.
As awardees and command
representatives enjoyed their
lunch, PS1(AW) Laquetta
Robinson of the Reserve
Component Command offered
her perspective of the IA war-
rior.
"Every day, dedicated service
members are being forward
deployed on IA assignments
either individually or as units
to multiple locations around
the world. From Afghanistan,
to Iraq, to Djibouti and Kuwait,
our armed forces make daily
sacrifices to ensure we are
allotted the freedom and secu-
rity we have fought for so long
and hard over the years," she
said.
*"Being forward deployed
has both positive and negative
aspects. Learning to make the
'best of the situation and turn-
ing those negatives into posi-
tives is what comes with time
and personal growth," contin-
ued Robinson.
"The most amazing posi-
tive experience in my opin-
ion is how U.S. troops can go
anywhere in the world and
build a family structure from
a group of almost total strang-
ers and even after departure,
keep those close bond intact for

"No matter what your IA

what support you provided and
know that in some way or form,
your contribution to the fight
did make a difference," she told
the audience.

Hey, MoneyChic! I have had my vehicle for
eight years and it is starting to have minor
mechanical issues. I looked up the value on
Kelley Blue Book and the repairs will cost more
than the car is worth. I have started to research
different cars but can't decide if leasing or buy-
ing is a better option? Leasing a car seems like
the cheaper route plus I can afford a nicer car.
What should I do?
MoneyChic says: Well first off let me say you
started off on the right foot, as it is always a
great idea to look up your vehicle's value before
agreeing to have any repairs done.
This is especially important on an older vehi-
cle. Buying a car whether it is new or used, is
always a better option. This is because after
the length of the loan, you own the vehicle.
Which means the years that you drive it after
the loan is paid off, you have no car payment.
This money can be put aside for repairs, into a
savings account, or a down payment on a future
vehicle.
Car leasing companies reel clients in
by the low monthly costs. It also allows
people to drive cars they can't afford.
Suze Orman, a nationally known expert on
finance, mentions a few of the issues that pop
up at the end of the lease. First off, at the end
of the three-year lease, you have the option to
buy the car; however it tends to be an inflated
price. If you decide to turn the car back in and it
is in less than "pristine condition" there will be
additional fees. The next issue is even more of a

problem for military members.
The leasing company allows 12,000 miles
per year with a per-mile fee for any additional
miles. The fee could be S.15 a mile but if you
go over just 1,000 miles per year you will have
to pay an additional S450 at the end. Ouch!
Most people believe that they will stay with-
in the 12,000 miles per year but according to
Edmunds.com 10 percent of people exceed it.
Life is uncertain in the military and so is your
car mileage. One day you could have a 10-mile
commute to work and the next duty station, a
40-mile trek. Not to mention having to possibly
drive across country to your next duty station.
Those miles have potential to really add up.
In addition, if you get into an accident while
driving a leased car, your insurance company
will only pay for the value of the car, not what
you owe the leasing company. Most likely you
are on the hook for a lot more then what the car
is worth because of the residual value.
Lastly, if you are unable to make the lease
payment just once they have no sympathy for
you. Your options would be to turn the car in
and still owe them the remaining cost or if you
try to sell it for what the car is worth, you may
still owe the leasing company thousands of
dollars. Sadly, the best option is to try to sell it
yourself, because if you turn it into the leasing
company they can chose to sell it to a dealer-
ship for whatever they want. Typically the vehi-
cle will be sold for very little leaving you with
the large balance.

who went and served with them.
You've made me incredibly proud
to be part of the same team as
you," continued Alexander.
Alexander also paid tribute
to the family members in atten-
dance. "I also know that deploy-
ing on an IA is extremely hard
on the families. In our normal
course of business, usually a
whole unit picks up and deploys
leaving behind a group of family
members who can support and
sustain one another," he added.
"But when an IA deploys, their
families are pretty much on their
own, although I'm pleased to see
that commands recognize the
importance of reaching out to
these families and are providing
the support that they deserve. So
to our family members, I thank-
you for your sacrifice while your
IA Sailor was deployed."

orthopedic physician's assistant at Naval Hospital Jax was one of
the IAs recognized.
"I was recently deployed to a trauma hospital in Kandahar,
Afghanistan. Oilr job was to take care of casualties from the
field. There were three other orthopedic surgeons and in a six-
month timeframe we conducted almost 1,800 surgical proce-
dures and saved several lives. We also helped the local civilians
who were wounded by enemy action," he said.
"This was my fourth deployment and I was gone for about
eight months. It was probably the most rewarding deployment
I've ever had we saved a lot of lives and it's quite an honor and
very humbling to work with so many heroes."
Each IA was presented with a special plaque and coin from
the Northeast Florida Navy League Council and thank-you let-
ters from U.S. Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, and U.S.
Congressman Ander Crenshaw.
Each spouse was also presented with a letter of appreciation
and a rose.
"We started this event at NAS Jax in 2008 and have honored
nearly 1,500 IAs and spouses. The program, through the Navy
League, is now being held at bases throughout the Continental
U.S. and Hawaii, said Navy League Florida Region Navy League
President Bill Dudley. "It's important to recognize them because
these men and women are deployed from their commands as
an individual and were not getting any recognition when they
returned home. So this event is pay tribute to them for their sac-
rifices."

Culinary Specialists tested for

American Culinary Federation

Chef de Cuisine certification

By AT3 Omari Janhrette
SStaff Writer

Seven top culinary special-
ists (CS) at the NAS Jacksonville
Flight Line Caf6 participated
in the American Culinary
Federation (ACF) Chef de
Cuisine certification April 13.
The ACF certification is
designed to identify those chefs
who have demonstrated a level
of culinary skill and exper-
tise through their education,
work experience and culinary
knowledge that is consistent
with ACF chef level.
The assessment for certifica-
tion practical testing was divid-
ed into four general areas: safe-
ty and sanitation skills, orga-
nization, craftsmanship skills
and finished product skills.
"All of our Sailors here are
levels above anyone who's not
certified because they've taken
the initiative to get the train-
ing early in their career. This
certification will benefit them
in both their evaluations and
in their personal careers," said
NAS Jax Food Services Division
Officer CWO4 Kathy Wiseman.
The top seven CS's were

frequent monitoring by evalu-
ators. The board of judges con-
sisted of chefs who are active
duty military members or culi-
nary arts instructors at local
schools.
The evaluators included:
CSCM Mike Carter from The
Food Management Team at NS

Mayport, David Bearl, director
of college advancement at First
Coast Technical College, plus,
Noel Ridsdale and Brett Harris,
both instructors from the Art
Institute of Jacksonville.

tion. It means a lot for me to

I can use this for the next five
years if I plan on making this a
career outside the Navy," stated
CSC(SW/AW) Rosalind Holmes
of the Flight Line Cafe.
CSC(SW/AW) Rolando Pablo
was also a first-time partici-
pant in the practical examina-

tion. He added that, "Working
with the three-hour time limit
was not difficult. We had a lot
of training and preparation for
months."
CS2 Jacob Settle has been
through the evaluation process
before, taking part in the Sous
Chef certification in 2006. Sous
-chefs hold the second most
senior position in a kitchen's
chain of command. They are
responsible -for a kitchen's rou-
tine operations, including food
preparation and production,
and supervising kitchen staff.
With this type of experience,
Settle said that he was confi-
dent with being timed and
eager to get his certification.
The next step will be the
written exam later this month
and the certification results are
expected this summer.
This was the first certifica-
tion for the Flight Line Caf6
team since renovating the gal-
ley last year. The newly reno-
vated galley features a state-of-
the-art dining area and a mod-
ern-style kitchen. With a more
advanced galley, NAS Jax will
host the Commander, Navy
Region Southeast Culinary
Competition May 19.

From Page 1

He was joined by HSL-60
Commanding Officer Cmdr.
Michael Steffen, who was flying
that day and conducting a train-
ing mission with multiple air
crewmen. Steffen's co-pilot was
Lt. Chris Stuart, a reservist and
Jacksonville resident who had
taken the afternoon off from his
job at Allstate Benefits to conduct
routine reserve flight training.
"I assumed this would just be
another routine training day to
help keep the crew's skills profi-
cient," said Stuart.
"Instead, 45 minutes into our
training, we had to change gears,
going to a real-world rescue sce-
nario. The training we'd received
kicked in and we were able to flu-
idly shift missions in mid-flight
and do what we could to help."
After determining the best
course of action, Simpson's rigid
hull inflatable boat (RHIB) was
launched and sent to the civilian
boat to recover the diver.
"This was the quickest I've
ever seen a RHIB launched," said
Steffen. "That says a lot about
the level of training that has been
going on on board Simpson."

stationed aboard Simpson, was
sent over to assess the diver's
medical condition.
"When I got on board the boat,
he was semi-conscious and had
minor disorientation," said Tilley.
"I'd been briefed that he was
unconscious at 110 feet, and had
been brought back to the surface."
That, along with his condition,
caused Tilley to determine that
the diver was possibly suffering
from decompression sickness, an
extremely painful and potentially
lethal condition caused by gasses
expanding in the blood stream
from surfacing too rapidly. He
would need to be taken to the
nearest decompression chamber
as quickly as possible.

"I administered oxygen, and
we immediately loaded him onto
our RHIB and headed back to the
ship," said Tilley.
Within five minutes of the
time the RHIB returned, Stuart
was able to land his helicopter on
Simpson's flight deck, so the crew
could load the patient. While this
was going on, another helicop-
ter, this one from HSL-44 arrived
on station and checked in with
Steffen.
"There is a lot that goes on as
part of a rescue like this," said
Steffen.
"When the' HSL-44 helicopter
arrived on scene, we were able to
divide that effort. This allowed
us to focus on treating the patient,
and preparing for transport; while
they concentrated on the commu-
nication and navigation responsi-
bilities."
The HSL-44 pilots, Lt. Russell
Coble and Lt. j.g. Mark Kummer
determined that Baptist Hospital
in Jacksonville would be the best
treatment option, due to their
available hyperbaric chamber.
They also coordinated

ground transportation from
NAS Jacksonville to Baptist and
assumed navigation responsibili-
ties to put the rescue helo on the
most direct route to the air sta-
tion.
"By taking care of the commu-
nications side, that allowed the
crew from HSL-60 to focus on
taking care of that diver," said
Kummer.
"We planned out the shortest
route and then flew escort for
them, handling the communica-
tion with the tower, and ensuring
the ambulance was on scene for
our arrival."
The patient was transported to
the hospital, where he was treated
and is recovering. The quick and
coordinated efforts by the Navy
assets are being credited with
possibly saving this diver's life.
Morrison expressed his satisfac-
tion with VP-30's performance.
"This was a total team effort.
The aircrew performed well and
the hard work of our maintenance
professionals gave us the ability to
accomplish the mission. I'm glad
we could help," he said.

conducted the longest anti-submarine warfare pros-
ecution in the history of 7th Fleet.
Combined with support to European Theater anti-
submarine warfare goals during Operation Redux and
numerous fleet exercises, including USS Enterprise
(CVN 65) Composite Training Unit Exercise and USS
George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Joint Task Force Exercise,
the Pelicans have set a high standard for operational
excellence within the maritime patrol and reconnais-
sance force.
In addition, VP-45 aircrews were also a crucial part
of ongoing operations closer to home, including a key
role during Operation Unified Response, assisting the
2010 disaster relief efforts in Haiti. Squadron mem-
bers were recently awarded the Armed Forces Service
Medal for their contributions.
All of these operational achievements are high-
lighted by an exemplary safety record, which includes
41 years and 250,000 mishap-free flight hours. The
squadron's excellent safety culture was- also recog-
nized by the Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Safety
Award for both 2009 and 2010.
To have their hard work and commitment recog-
nized is a source of motivation and pride for the entire
command. "It's an honor to be a part of VP-45," said
AT3 Omari Janhrette.
"We work hard every day and it's great to be recog-
nized for that."

Disposing of e-waste properly reduces energy, limits health risks

By Rana Evans
NAVFAC Southeast, Environmental,
Air and Water Section

Electronic waste, generally called
e-waste is not your deleted emails;
e-waste is all the components and gad-
gets that you plug in that are not appli-
ances or tools that should be remar-
keted or recycled.
E-waste includes items like monitors,
televisions, computer keyboards, print-
ers, fax machines, cell phones, laptops
even speakers and cables. According to
an Internet Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) article on used and end-
of- life electronics, between 1980-2007,
the U.S. generated close to 2.25 million
tons of e-waste. Only 414,000 tons (18
percent) of that waste was recycled.

Fast forward to the current year and
consider the number of people replac-
ing TVs, upgrading computer compo-
nents and purchasing cell phones. The
amount of e-waste generated annually
now almost rivals what was generated
during the 17 years of the study.
At EPA's online eCycling webpage,
it is noted that despite the terminol-
ogy e-waste is not actually waste. It is
"whole electronic equipment or parts
that are readily marketable for reuse or
can be recycled for materials recovery."
E-waste disposed improperly can
introduce heavy metals such as lead,
cadmium and mercury into the envi-
ronment. Municipal landfill manage-
ment can control the negative impacts
of these metals. Even so, by keeping

e-waste out of the landfills you mini-
mize the toxins that need to be treat-
ed. Recycling your e-waste, recovers
materials, reduces energy by limited
the extraction of raw resources from the
earth and limits risks to human health
and our surroundings.
Additionally, many recycled electron-
ics are refurbished and provided to sup-
port organizations, schools, and people
that cannot afford these items, resulting
in overall quality of life improvement.
State, local governments, and manu-
facturers are providing more opportu-
nities to recycle or reuse e-waste. You
can verify with a recycler if your e-waste
will be refurbish for reuse, demanu-
factured for parts, or recycled into raw
materials. A designation as a certified

electronics recycler is now available.
This means the recycler has been
certified by a third party as meeting
responsible recycling standards that
ensure safe reuse and recycling of elec-
tronic equipment.
As you upgrade or replace your com-
puter, telephone, television, printer,
copier, fax machine, etc., check online
and at your purchase source for envi-
ronmental safe options for your old
electronics.
* E-Recycle Collections (electronic
items) are collected every Thursday
from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Building 1948
behind the Fire Station on Mustin
Road. For more information, call Billie
Brownfield at 542-3492, Jody Smith at

April is Water

Conservation Month

Tips to save H20

By Cliff Plante
NAS lax Resource Efficiency Manager

April is Water Conservation Month a time to
"reflect" on what we can do to help promote saving
water at work, as well as at home.
Sometimes people have the misconception that
water is "free." As we all know, that is not true. The
Earth might seem like it has abundant water, but
in fact only one percent of all water on the planet is
available for humans.
Buy fixtures and products that are water efficient
you can use less water to get the same job done
just as well. When you go shopping, look for the
"WaterSense" label to find water efficient products.
There are several things you can do to reduce
water consumption and the associated costs:
Repair leaky faucets promptly. One faucet leak-
ing one drop per second can waste 2,400 gallon
of water a year. That's 13 years worth of drinking
water for one per person.
Repair "silent leaks" in the toilet. If food color-
ing put in the tank ends up in the bowl without
flushing, it leaks. Repairing the leak will save up to
200 gallons of water a day.
The average person uses 80-100 gallons of
water per day in the home. The top three uses for
water in the home are toilets, bathing and washing
clothes.
Make it a full load. The average washing
machine uses 41 gallons of water per load. If you're
in the market for a new washer, shop for one that
uses less than 28 gallons of water per load. To
achieve greater savings, wash only full loads or
be sure to choose the appropriate load size of the
washing machine. As an added bonus, the High
Efficiency or "HE" labeled washing machines spin
at a much higher RPM then a conventional washer,
removing more water from the clothes and reduc-
ing the drying time required.
Don't use the "rinse hold" on your dishwasher
for just a few soiled dishes. It uses three to seven
gallons of hot water each time you use it.
If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less
than 20 seconds, replace the showerhead with a
more water-efficient model.
Shorten your shower by a minute or two and
you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
Additional information concerning what you can
do to participate in water conservation is available
at: http://www.floridaswater.com

Golf tourney slated to benefit NMCRS

By Lt. j.g. Farin Wilson
VP-30 Public Affairs

The 2011 Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS) Golf Benefit will be hosted by VP-30 May
6 at the Amelia Island Plantation Golf Course. The
20th annual event features an 18-hole scramble that
starts at 8:30 a.m. followed by an awards luncheon at
the Amelia Island Clubhouse. Food and drinks will
be provided. The cost per player is S65 and includes
range balls, cart, greens fees, drinks and lunch.
Founded in 1904, NMCRS is a private, non-prof-
it charitable organization. It is sponsored by the
Department of the Navy and operates nearly 250 offic-
es ashore and afloat at Navy and Marine Corps bases
throughout the world. Every penny donated goes
directly to the Sailors and Marines in need of financial
assistance. In 2010, NMCRS helped 99,854 clients and
provided $49.9 million in assistance.
Last year's NMCRS Golf Benefit was a huge success.
The Jacksonville area NMCRS Golf Benefit Committee
repeated the 2009 effort by raising more than $21,000
through generosity of participants and corporate
sponsors. "It's a fun way to raise money for a great
charitable organization," said last year's Tournament
Director Lt. Greg Jenkins of VP-30.
With more than 500,000 active duty and retired

military personnel in the area, the military represents
a huge portion of the consumer power in Northeast
Florida. Additionally, many businesses welcome the
opportunity to give back to the men and women who
defend our country.
The committee was fortunate to include in its 2010
event these corporate sponsors:
Sea Star Line
VyStar Credit Union
Logistics Services International
The Boeing Company
ASEC
"The event is really a win-win for everyone because
every dollar from the sponsors down to the raffle tick-
ets purchased goes directly to the Navy-Marine" Corps
Relief Society," said this year's Raffle Coordinator Lt.
Patrick O'Brien of VP-30. "It's great to be able to do
something fun, while at the same time raising money
for such a great organization."

Matt Straughan also attend-
ed the luncheon. "Thanks to
everyone who does this work.
We all appreciate the Navy and

help our Sailors. I've never
seen an instance when a Sailor
wasn't taken care of by the
society when they had a legiti-
mate need for help. Thank you

so much for all you do," said
Straughan.

Hunt named NAS Jax Athlete of the Year

By AT3 Omari janhrette
Staff Writer

HMI Kevin Hunt was named NAS
Jacksonville Athlete of the Year April 14
in a ceremony at VP-45.
"Winning this award says a lot about
Petty Officer Hunt. He was nominated
to represent VP-45. His leadership and
athletic accomplishments was recog-
nized among more than 1,200 Sailors
who participated in sporting event at
NAS Jax. When you receive an award
like this it's a reflection of your lead-
ership both on and off the field," said
VP-45 Commanding Officer Cmdr.
Michael Doherty.
The Athlete of the Year award rec-
.ognizes outstanding athletic achieve-
ment by service members at commands
throughout NAS Jax. More than 1,200
men and women participate in base
athletics each year. Hunt proved to be
a top candidate for the nomination for
this award. His active leadership role
in five team sports, along with military
awards and honors, made him a perfect
candidate for the award.

Hunt was a significant member of the the 2010 intramural football season,
VP-45's intramural football, basketball, Hunt joined the NAS Jax Flag Football
softball and soccer teams. Following team, which combined top players from

the season to play in a tri-base tourna-
ment.
"We've always been told to stay fit in
the military, work out and be in shape.
I think we should play more sports and
stay actively involved outside our work
spaces," said Hunt.
Hunt has definitely made a great
impression among his peers. "When
we were on the field during the tour-
nament, Hunt displayed one of most
impressive individual performances in
recent memory. He was everywhere.
Although we didn't win the tourna-
ment, Hunt kept us in the game to com-
pete for the championship," said CS3
John Davis.
Nominations for this award come
from a command fitness representative.
The Morale, Welfare and Recreation

More than 50 personnel from NAS
Jacksonville and its tenant commands
volunteered over 350 hours with Habitat
for Humanity Jacksonville April 2 and 9.
They served in the urban core where 26
percent of children live below the pov-
erty level.
The volunteers added to the hundreds
of others who supported Habitat's A
Brush With Kindness project. The proj-
ect ran six weeks and helped revital-
ize 26 homes in the New Town area of
Jacksonville. A Brush With Kindness
is part of Habitat for Humanity's larger
Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative.
To compliment the 1,800 homes the
organization has built since 1988, this
initiative supports existing homeown-
ers with exterior minor repair, weather-
ization, and necessary remodeling.
For those two Saturdays in April, NAS
lax volunteers scraped and painted,
sorted garbage from collected piles,
repaired wooden framing, landscaped,
and reclaimed underutilized space. The
homeowners could not stop thanking
the teams as the effect was incredible.
Their homes were radically different

their neighborhoods.

American Forces Press Service
Sailors are passing the word about
an amazing opportunity for deserving
military families.
The producers of ABC's "Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition" are seeking
people involved in the military whose
home deserves an extreme makeover.
The producers are looking for people
with "amazing strength of character
and who put their own needs aside to
help others," a press release said.
"Whether it's a soldier, a mom, a
teacher or a fireman, we think deserv-
ing families are families who inspire
those around them."
Additionally, the show's producers
are seeking families whose houses need
major alterations or repair "homes
that present serious problems for the
family and affect the family's quality of
life."
To be eligible, families must own their
single family home and be able to dem-
onstrate how a makeover will make a
difference in their lives.

Interested military families or people
who wish to nominate a military fam-
ily should e-mail a short description of
the family's story to emheusa@gmail.
com. The e-mail should include the
names and ages of household members,
a description of the family's challeng-
es, an explanation of why the family is
deserving of a makeover or is a positive
role model in the community, photos of
the family and their home, and contact
numbers.
The deadline for nominations is May
30, but people should send submissions
early, the release said. Only up to 25
families are selected each season.

cation process, visit http://abc.

Challenge 4 Life:

By Chaplain (Lt.) Justin Top j V l
Naval Hospital lax I \ I \ I i I

In April, the spiritual portion
of the Challenge 4 Life program
focuses on drawing strength,
direction and motivation form
a higher power. A subject like
that usually doesn't generate
a lot of excitement. It is not
that finding a "higher power"
isn't important. On the con-
trary, it is central to spiritual-
ity, which is a very important
dimension of health and hap-
piness. But when most people
see an article about finding a
higher power they assume that
the information doesn't apply
to them, either because they
already believe in some sort
of "god," or because they don't
believe in religion and, there-
fore, are not interested.
If you are in either of those
categories (or any other catego-
ry for that matter) please keep
reading. This article is just
for you. I have no intention of
pushing my own beliefs on you,
but I do want you to take the
time to think about what you
believe and how you can use
that belief to give you motiva-
tion and purpose in life.
More and more, research
is demonstrating the impor-
tance of spirituality in promot-
ing physical health, emotion
and mental resilience, and
strong loving relationships.
For example, those who attend
addiction support groups such
as Alcoholics Anonymous
quickly learn that the first
three of the 12 steps really
involve reaching out to a higher
power to access help to change.
This method is still the most
effective treatment for recov-
ery.
However, because spiritual-
ity is such a
personal subject, it is dif-
ficult to teach in a way that
doesn't offend somebody. For
example, the belief in a god is
a central feature of spiritual-

Chaplain Lt. Justin Top

ity for some, while for others it
may actually be something that
fosters feelings of resentment.
Even among those who believe
in God there are sharply con-
trasting views of what god is.
Thus many simply avoid the
debate. I want to encourage
you to take up the debate, not
necessarily with others, but
within yourself for the sake
of improving your spiritual
health.
For those who don't believe
in a "Higher Power" already
Just because you aren't reli-
gious, or don't believe in god
as defined by religion doesn't
mean you don't believe in a
higher power. You most like-
ly do, but just haven't thought
about it much or labeled it as
such. Stop and think about life
for a minute. As crazy as the
world is, it is actually a pretty
good place considering what
it could be like. Sure it can be
chaotic and "dog eat dog," and
yes terrible things happen.
If you stop and think about
it, though, there seems to be
something driving mankind
to not only survive, but to love
each other and improve their
circumstances. What is it that
makes the world a good place?
What pushes us toward sur-
vival, love and happiness? The
religions of the world may have
answers to those questions that

Finding Y

you don't agree with (or at least
that you are not sure about),
but ask yourselves what you
believe. My suggestion is that
the answer to that question will
lead you to your higher power,
and once you connect with that
power you will begin to redis-
cover spirituality. Here are a
couple of answers that I have
heard that I think are quite
profound.
Knowledge/ Truth To
some, science or the pursuit of
truth can be seen as a "higher
power" or purpose. To these
individuals, that truth provides
meaning and direction.
Creation Whatever power
created the universe pushes
us toward life and growth and
away from chaos. In an indi-
vidual's life it becomes an ideal
of creating positive things-love,
success, courage, etc. It push-
es one to build up and avoid
destroying.
Love Many will argue that
love is the power that makes
the world go around. Though
it's opposite, selfishness, con-
stantly influences us, love has
the power to transform us and
make us better. In applica-
tion, those who believe in this
power look at life as an oppor-
tunity to make themselves and
others better through love. It
becomes their guiding princi-
ple.
Higher Self While many
religions define spirituality as a
connection to something spiri-
tual
outside of.themselves (like
God, Holy Spirit, or mental
states of release like nirvana),
this view suggests that spiri-
tuality is the connection with
one's own inner spirit-their
higher self. Thus when mak-
ing important decisions, one
tries to listen to his or her heart
and seeks to reach their true
potential.
For those who already
believe in "God" or a higher
power

(

)ur 'High

The far majority of people in
the U.S. (and on earth) believe
in some sort of god. In my
experience, however, a huge
chunk of that group doesn't
really know that much about
what they believe about God.
Many are satisfied to just say
they believe it, and perhaps
that they attend some sort of
religious service occasion-
ally. But believing something
doesn't necessarily mean
that you are really using it to
improve your life the way you
could, especially if it is a vague
and rarely used belief. What
you believe about God makes
a big difference on how you
live your life. It can complete-
ly alter the way you deal with
challenges, and how you seek
to be a "good" person. If you
want to be a more spiritually
grounded person, one of the
most important ways you can
do that is by developing your-

Power'

understanding of and your
relationship with your higher
power. There are numerous
ways to do that. Prayer, scrip-
ture study, meditation, and
religious worship all increase
that connection. In addition,
you can seek answers to some
very important questions, such
as:
"What is my relationship
with my god supposed to be
like?" "How can I improve that
relationship?" "When I face
challenges and pain in my life,
what role does my god play
in helping me?" "What does
god expect from me?" "What
things damage my relationship
with god?"
The key is to not let yourself
get complacent. Continue to
do the things that you know
will help you access spiritu-
al strength from your higher
power. Put in the effort and.
you will reap the rewards.

FACSFACJAX/U.S. Forest Service team up to manage Pinecastle Range Complex

By OS1 (SW) Debra Taylor
FACSFAC lax PAO

On April 14, Fleet Area Control and
Surveillance Facility Jacksonville
(FACSFACJAX) Commanding Officer
Cmdr. Todd Abrahamson and Executive
Officer Cmdr. Shawn Petre, boarded
a U.S. Forest Service helicopter for a
guided tour of the Pinecastle Range
Complex, which also falls under the
cognizance of Abrahamson.
The Pinecastle Range Complex is a
5,760-acre area located in the Ocala
National Forest. It serves as the Navy's
only live impact range on the East Coast
and is a critical training tool for naval
aircrew.
The complex consists of the
Pinecastle Impact Range, Rodman
Ordnance Range, and Lake George
Range. The assistant director of the
facility, Don Heaton, served as guide for
the tour.
The Pinecastle Range Complex is
located in the middle of the 383,000-
Sacre Ocala National Forest, which
I*s owned by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), and managed by
the U.S. Forest Service (USFS).
The USFS, under the authority of the
Organic Administration Act of 1897,
grants the Department of the Navy
permission to utilize some 5,825 acres
within the Ocala National Forest for
training purposes through a special use
permit (SUP) and has been doing so
since 1951.
The SUP requires that the Navy pro-
tect the land and property from damage
as well as restore or rehabilitate any
national forest lands damaged from use
under its provisions.
The Navy is also responsible for the
prevention and control of soil erosion,
related to Navy activities in the area
and cooperatively works with the USDA
Forest Service on approving and imple-
menting a management plan inside the
designated impact range to improve
habitat conditions for existing threat-
ened and endangered species.
FACSFACJAX assumes the respon-
sibility of carrying out the provisions
of the SUP between the USFS and
the Navy and takes pride in being
good stewards of ownership of Ocala
National Forest.
"Having a great rapport with the U.S.
Forestry Service is paramount for seam-

N .. .. .." : .. .

live impact range on the East Coast. I
am both fortunate and thankful that
we work together so well with the U.S.
Forestry Service and look to continue
this high level of excellence in meet- HUGE SELECTION OF FU
ing our mission requirements together," E SELEC
said Abrahamson. JEWELRY, TIRES ANI
The USFS remains responsible for fire
management activities at the Pinecastle
Range Complex with complete coopera- HD &
tion and assistance from the Navy whenASM
necessary. T VS
FACSFACJAX provides the USFS a
schedule of planned training events
and the USFS informs FACSFACJAX
when dangerous forest fire conditions
exist.
Careful coordination is conducted HUGE Iii
between the two agencies to analyze SEhECTION I--.
the type of planned bombing opera- OF JEWELRY
tions against fire conditions and pro- AND
vide recommendations to mitigate the FURNITURE
risk of an off-range wildfire.
"The relationship between the Navy '
and the USFS at the Pinecastle range is
outstanding and interagency coopera-
tion is key to sustaining operations at
the Pinecastle Range. Navy and USFS YOUR INCREDIBLE CRE[
fund jointly the use of a firefighting
helicopter that is located within ade-
quate response time of the Pinecastle
range if high explosive bombs start a
fire," explained Heaton.
"The aircrew from the carrier strike

during the COMPTUEX only lost one
day of events due to a brush fire and
was able to resume training later in the
evening due to outstanding coordina-
tion from the USFS to plan fire suppres-
sion activities around the COMPTUEX
event schedule.
This is an outstanding example of
how the USFS and the Navy take pride
and ownership of the portion of the
Ocala National Forest to sustain train-
ing operations and ensure natural
resources are protected," said Heaton.
Persons interested in receiving
advance notice of scheduled training
at the Pinecastle Range Complex are
invited to contact the NAS Jacksonville
Public Affairs Officer via email at
NASJAXPAO@navy.mil and request
their names and email address be
added to the Pinecastle distribution list.
