-_ r THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2011 Governor, staff meet with military commanders From Staff Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll held their quarterly base com- manders meeting at NAS Jacksonville Nov. 18 in order to ensure that state agencies and military base commanders work together to forge contin- ued growth and mission sus- tainment. Scott frequently says that he wants Florida to be the most "military friendly" state in the nation. To achieve this, he and Carroll attend the quarterly meetings to receive updates on previous issues, as well as to discuss any new areas of con- cern or opportunity. Twenty installation com- manders of all services, from Key West to the Florida Panhandle, gathered for the meeting at the NAS Jacksonville Officers' Club. NAS Jacksonville Com- manding Officer Capt. Jeffrey Maclay hosted the briefing in conjunction with Florida Photos by Clark Pierce (From left) NAS Jacksonville Commanding Officer Capt. Jeffrey Maclay welcomed Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll on Nov. 18 to the quarterly base commanders meeting. National Guard Maj. Gen. Emmett Titshaw Jr. "The governor and lieuten- ant governor understand the economic impact that the mili- tary provides to the State of Florida and they work dili- gently to keep informed on developments for all of the mil- itary services in the state," said Maclay. "The Florida Defense Task Force was established as a result of these quarterly meetings, to make recom- mendations to the governor to strengthen Florida's defense industries." He said the commanders meetings generally focus on four areas: encroachment/land use; transportation/infrastruc- ture; energy; and quality of life/family support. Specific issues that have been addressed at the com- manders meeting include: pay- day lending, spouse employ- ment, magnet school enroll- ment, compatible land-use near military installations and training ranges. The following state agen- cies normally attend the meeting: Executive Office of Governor; Lieutenant Governor; Florida Department of Environmental Protection; See GOVERNOR, Page 7 Servicemember financial advocate Petraeus visits area commands From staff Holly Petraeus, director of the Office of Servicemember Affairs at the fed- eral Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and wife of CIA director and retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, gathered input in a series of round- table discussions Nov. 14-17 at Navy Region Southeast, NSB Kings Bay, NS Mayport and NAS Jacksonville. She also attended the Association for Financial Counseling, Planning and Education Annual Conference in downtown Jacksonville. During her visit to NAS Jacksonville, she heard first hand about the financial challenges that Sailors and families face during a lunch meeting at the Flight Line Caf6, hosted by NAS Jacksonville Commanding Officer Capt. Jeffrey Maclay, and attended by commanding officers of tenant commands. At base headquarters, Petraeus took part in a round-table discussion with key military and civilian leaders includ- ing Maclay, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater and NAS Jax Fleet and Family Support Center Director Myrna Wilson. She said that the focus of her visit was to ensure that military members and their families receive the educa- tion they need to make sound financial decisions, ensure that complaints and questions from military families are monitored and responded to, and that federal and state agencies coordinate their activities to improve consumer protection measures. According to Petraeus, housing is the number one concern. "The biggest issue we've found is the depressed state of the housing market. When a servicemember gets orders to move, there is no good answer on what they will do with their house," she said. "There is the added problem that they can't hunker down in the house and wait it out.

Individual Augmentees honored at NAS Jacksonville By Kaylee LaRocque NAS lax Deputy PAO NAS Jacksonville and the Northeast Florida Navy League Council hosted their eighth semi-annual Individual Augmentee (IA) Appreciation luncheon Nov. 17 at the NAS Jax Officers' Club. One hundred and fifteen IAs from the base and tenant commands and several spouses were recognized at the event. The luncheon kicked off with the singing of the national anthem by Kela Stelig and the invocation by NAS Jax Command Chaplain (Lt. Cmdr.) Shannon Skidmore. NAS Jax Commanding Officer Capt. Jeffrey Maclay gave the opening remarks. "We are here today to honor your commitment and service. The Navy asks you to go and support a sister service into an area to do the nation's bidding unac- companied by a squadron or command. You complete your deployments with dignity and come back home and then go right back to work and on with your lives. I cannot say'thank-you' enough for what you do," said Maclay. Commander, Navy Region Southeast Rear Adm. Jack Scorby Jr. was the guest speaker for the event. "You are the heroes who stepped up to the plate when the Navy needed you to serve. IA deployments are undoubtedly some of the most difficult, but you and your families willingly made that sacrifice. You are doing more than a job, you are protecting our free- doms and we are grateful for that," he told the IAs in the audience. "Since 9/11, 95,000 Sailors have served as IAs and at any given time we have more than 200 IAs deployed Photos by Kaylee LaRocque Commander, Navy Region Southeast Rear Adm. Jack Scorby Jr. thanks MA2(SW/AW) Rodney Erickson of the NAS Jax Security Department for his service as an Individual Augmentee (IA) during the semi-annual IA Recognition Luncheon on Nov. 17. from NAS Jacksonville. What amazes me is the depth of these assignments commanding provincial recon- naissance teams in Afghanistan, guarding prison- ers in Guantanamo Bay, tending to the wounded in Afghanistan and Landstuhl, manning convoys in Iraq and Afghanistan, supporting Joint Task Force Horn of Africa missions in Djibouti, and conducting operations in Columbia and Honduras. Thank you for devoting up to a year of your life for this critical duty," Scorby continued. Scorby also thanked the spouses in attendance. "You are the unsung heroes holding down the home- front and taking care of everything else so our Sailors can do their jobs," he said.

ABH2(AW/SW) Nnamdi Emenogu of the NAS Jax Air Operations Department offered his perspective of the IA warrior. "It is my pleasure and an honor to stand here amongst my fellow IA Sea Sand Warriors and Sailors, to address you today. I completed my IA tour May 2, 2011 and can honestly say that it's been the most chal- lenging deployment of my nine years in the Navy. The orders were supposed to be for a travel clerk position with the Warrior Transition Program in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. When I arrived, they were short of gunner's mates so I ended up inspecting, inventorying and shipping back over 900 rifles and handguns each week to the states," he said.

Dustin's change of command brings change By Sarah Smiley Special Contributor As a military dependent for more than 35 years, I have been to many changes of command, most of them for my dad. Earlier this month, I attended one for my husband, Dustin. A change of command is the Navy's answer to that awkward moment when one author- ity is leaving and a new one is stepping in. It's the passing of a baton, an outward, formal marker for something that can't really be physically contained and transferred. (Parents and babysitters would do well to have their own mini change of command ceremony at the beginning of each babysitting session.) Dustin's change of command came after three years as com- mander of Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) Bangor, Maine, where he first was in charge of a portion of Maine's naval reserves, and then, after NAS Brunswick closed, respon- sible for Maine's entire popula- tion of Navy reservists. Dustin's command also was responsible for all Navy funeral honors in the state of Maine. From the moment he took command, Dustin was keenly aware of his duty to the com- munity, the reservists-many of them being sent individually for deployments all over the world-and the funerals in the region. That's the kind of man he is. Three years later, he is wiser-and perhaps grayer at the temples-but more impor- tantly, he is in tune with the needs and sacrifices of reserv- ists and their families. As I helped the boys with their ties and dress shirts the morning of the ceremony, I told them how proud I was of their dad. This was hard for them to hear; the change of command, after all, marked the official end to Dustin's job here in Maine and the beginning of his yearlong deployment overseas. When I was a kid, I remember feeling like my boys-proud of my dad, excited for the ceremo- ny, but ultimately, anxious and sad about one more change in our lives. While I've anticipated these changes for the last six months, Dustin didn't have time to. He was more concerned with mak- ing sure the transfer of author- ity was as seamless as possible for his Sailors and staff. That's the kind of leader he is. The ceremony opened with patriotic songs played by the 195th Maine Army band and the Parade of Colors by University of Maine's Navy ROTC unit. Ford's fifth grade teacher, Joe Bennett, sang the national anthem. After the invocation, our attention was directed toward the stage. I began thinking about the day Dustin told me the Navy was transferring him from Pensacola, Fla., where he was a flight instructor, to Bangor, Maine. "What's in Bangor, Maine, for a Navy pilot," I asked. Incidentally, my then new readers in Bangor wanted to know the same thing. Changes of command, flyovers, men in Navy uniforms stopping at the grocery store to buy a gallon of milk these things are com- monplace where I grew up in Virginia Beach, Va. Today in New England, espe- cially after the closing of NAS Brunswick, there is a Navy vacuum in the region. Besides his new mission as command- ing officer and all that that entailed, Dustin made a Navy presence in our new hometown one of his priorities. That's the kind of citizen he is. Dustin accomplished this in part by creating a new partner- ship between Bangor Public Schools and NOSC Bangor. He and his staff went into schools, as part of Campaign Drug Free, and talked to students about the positive goals in their lives. They also got involved with Habitat for Humanity, local parades and ceremonies, and, of course, they continued, with their solemn duty to regional funerals with professionalism and honor. Yet, after the change of com- mand, Dustin didn't have time to think about what I knew was important work he and the NOSC had done in our area. As the sideboys saluted Dustin out of the ceremony, I knew his mind was already on the new tasks ahead: getting our family ready for the deployment and preparing himself for his new mission. That's the kind of officer he is. A week later, I asked Dustin if it was beginning to seem real that he would soon leave me and the kids. I wondered if leaving our youngest, Lindell, would be hardest of all. A year is a long time. Especially for a toddler. When Dustin comes back, Lindell will have out- grown his footed pajamas. He won't call Rite-Aid "Fridays." He won't mispronounce Rs like Ls ("Pleston"). He will already know the whole alphabet. He might even be reading. Selfishly, I couldn't imagine missing those things. But Dustin said, "My absence will impact Lindell most of all. That's what worries me. He won't understand. In three weeks he'll wonder when I'm coming back. A year will seem like forever. And it will be hard for him." Always thinking of others and their feelings before him- self. That's the kind of father Dustin is. Through the years in this col- umn, I probably haven't given you an adequate description of Dustin. I'm usually not at a lost for words, especially when written. Yet, when it comes to explaining Dustin, I find it dif- ficult to capture his essence. "You just have to know him," is what I say. So when Rear Adm. Robin Braun, who gave the opening remarks at the change of com- mand, described him as hav- ing a "winsome" personality, my eyes brightened. That's the word I've been searching for all these years. Winsome. Affable. Charming. Hardworking. Careful. Conscientious. Dedicated. Thoughtful. Warm. Funny. That's the kind of person Dustin is. Transition Benefits: TAP mandatory for ERB Sailors By MC1 (SW/AW) Monique Hilley Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs As the results of the Enlisted Retention Board (ERB) Phase I are revealed this week, Sailors separating due to the ERB will begin their transition out of the Navy. Due to these Sailors' unplanned sepa- ration prior to their end of active obligat- ed service (EAOS), the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Transition Assistance Program workshop, commonly known as TAP, will be mandatory for all ERB Sailors. "Navy leadership is ensuring that Sailors separating from the Navy, because of the ERB, have all the tools necessary for a successful transition to civilian life," said Vice Adm. M.C.Vitale, commander, Navy Installations Command. "TAP is a key component of this effort." TAP, offered at Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSCs) worldwide, provides information on job employment workshops, tran- sition preparation and Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) benefits. "Sailors transitioning out of the Navy under ERB can benefit greatly from attending a DOL TAP Employment Workshop, as well as the many work- shops offered at CNIC FFSC's world- wide," said Rise Ruhl, CNIC HQ Transition Assistance Program manager. "At these workshops they will be given an invaluable tool set through knowledge gained in resume writing, interviewing skills, financial management, relocation information and education options." All Sailors not selected for retention by the ERB should reference NAVADMIN 332/11, which highlights existing and new benefits available to all Sailors as part of the Navy's comprehensive transi- tion support strategy. In NAVADMIN 332/11, every leader in the chain of command is required to be actively involved in the transition process, providing guidance, time, and opportunity for their Sailors to utilize transition assistance.

From The Homefront ~e-~~ JAX AIR NEWS, NAS JACKSONVILLE, Thursday, November 24, 2011 3 Regional Sailor of the Year 2011 announced By MC2(SW) Greg Johnson Region Southeast Public Affairs NC1(SW/AW) Jonathan Dingier from NS Mayport was named Navy Region Southeast (NRSE) Regional Sailor of the Year for 2011 during a ceremony on board NAS Jacksonville Nov. 17. The ceremony was the culmination of a week-long event that combined official military activities with recreation. While a board of command master chiefs from throughout the region were making their selec- tions, Sailors from each of the region's 15 installations participated a number of activities, including a tour of NSB Kings Bay, group physical training, a shopping trip to St. Augustine, Fla., and a tour of EverBank Field, home of the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars. "All of our candidates for Sailor of the Year were outstanding Sailors and role models," said NRSE CMDCM(AW/SW) Mack Ellis. "In the end, it was NCl's demeanor, maturity and overall sustained perfor- mance that separated him from the others." According to Dingier, it was an honor to receive such a prestigious award. "I'm honored, humbled and grateful," he said. "All of the other Sailors out here are exemplary leaders and every one of them also deserves to be in this spot." The week began with an informal reception, where Ellis announced the top-five selectees. In addition to Dingier, the top five also included MA1(SW) Jacob Moore of Naval Weapons Station Charleston, S.C.; MA1 Danielle Metz of Construction Battalion Center Gulfport, Miss.; MA1(SW) Brian Schaaf of Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas; and ABH (Handling) 1(AW/SW) Travis Matney of Naval Air Station Meridian, Miss.

"Going in for the board seems pretty intimidating until you hit the door," Dingler said. "Once the board starts, you realize how important it is and what an honor it is that the senior leadership is recognizing you." While only five selectees participated in the final board, all of the participants experienced a week they will always remember, said CS1(SW/SCWS) Victor Rojas, the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Sailor of the Year for 2011. "It's been a great experience to come here and meet the rest of these first classes and command master chiefs. I think we'll all be able to take a little bit more knowledge back home and use it to help our junior Sailors get to where we are today," he said. According to Ellis, even though there can be only one winner, all 15 Sailors should be proud of their accomplishments. "Each one of these Sailors faced tough competi- tion at their installations just to get here. For them to be selected to represent the entire installation is a remarkable feat in itself, and we need to be apprecia- tive of their accomplishments," Ellis said.

HS-11 WORKING SAFELY THROUGH IDRC By Clark Pierce ' Editor I'm HS-11 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Edguardo Moreno credits AM1 Jonathan Kraut and the squadron's other maintainers with the minimal down time of their 20-year-old Seahawk helicopters. AN Christopher Adams and AM2 Jessica Neff pull the vibe absorbers from an SH-60F Seahawk during a scheduled maintenance that includes checking bolts and bearings, as well as for stress cracks. The "Dragonslayers" of HS-11 are well into their compressed (7 months) Inter- Deployment Readiness Cycle (IDRC) as they become trained and certified to operate with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, which is slated to deploy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65), as it departs this spring for its final cruise before retirement in late 2012. Regarding the squadron's high oper- ational tempo, HS-11 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Edgardo Moreno said that the compressed IDRC can be a little stressful -but that pilots, aircrew, main- tainers and support personnel are up to the challenge. "After completing our requisite post- deployment inspections, we most recently took part in exercises with CVW-1 at the Navy's tactical air warfare training center located at NAS Fallon, Nevada," said Moreno. "We flew five Seahawks to Nevada in 18 hours -with- out the first breakdown -and that says a lot about our maintenance team." Moreno said he was pleased with the Dragonslayers' performance at Fallon. "It can be a dangerous training envi- ronment when you consider the moun- tains, desert and extreme temperatures. From what I saw, we never lost our Q: Has this HS-11 helicopter been operating at such as high tempo that holes have worn through the floor? 'operational rhythm' from earlier this year." "As the holidays near, we must also find time to give our people a break, so we also have to take leave periods into account. The HS-11 Ombudsmen, Sarah Phelps and Melissa Pilgrim, are very knowledgeable and helpful in their interaction with spouses via our Facebook page. They also work well with Erin Laird, our family readiness group (FRG) president. The effective- ness of our Ombudsmen and FRG is even more important as we execute our final HS deployment and homeport change."

We plan to drop seven torpedoes and conduct numerous ASW events, as well as combat search and rescue (CSAR) exercises with Air Force Special Operations units," said Moreno. "With these high-tempo operations, it's important that we balance how we take care of our people and how we take care of our aircraft. Every week brings another inspection or exercise or both and our people make sure that safety is always top of mind," said Moreno.

He was escorted to the 50-yard line at the start of the game to call the coin toss, kicking off the Cardinals win against Eagle's View Academy. The school also invited his wife, Jenny and daughter, Mya to enjoy the game. In February 2010, Lozada was select- ed to fill one of the Navy's Individual Augmentee billets in Afghanistan. Lozada served as part of a Navy Forward Surgical Team (FST) which was first deployed to supplement the Army's 62nd Medical Brigade from Fort Lewis Washington, and later support- ed the 10th Mountain Division out of Fort Drum, NY. His team served at the Qualat Forward Operating Base. Located in the dangerous southern province of Zabul, the base and sur- rounding international security assis- tance forces saw frequent action with insurgent forces which led to high casu- alties. The team included four Navy sur- geons, two anesthesiologists, 12 nurses and 12 corpsmen. Lozada and his team treated combat trauma victims daily, lifted by helicopter directly out of com- bat action into their operating base for medical attention. He saw firsthand the devastation caused by automatic weapons fire and improvised explosive devices. Lozada assisted in many of the surgical proce- dures performed at the mobile hospital as well as performing triage on patients as they arrived. He was also part of the team that came to the aid of a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crash Sept. 22, 2010, the deadliest aviation incident up to that point in the Afghan War. Nine U.S. service members died in the crash, including a fellow Navy Seal corpsman for whom the hospital was later named. Lozada will soon deploy with VP-16 to the Pacific area of responsibility. MCPON message: No second chance for drug abuse Special from MCPON(SS/SW) Rick West Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy MCPON(SS/SW) Rick West, released the following message on drug abuse, which focuses on "Spice," herbal prod- ucts and other designer drugs, to the fleet: "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, posses- sion 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 unex- pected losses negatively affect our com- mands' manning levels, which in turn affects the commands' operational and warfighter readiness. The Navy's poli- cy on drug abuse is simple and clear - zero tolerance, and there are no second chances. NAVADMIN 108/10 states the follow- ing on drug abuse: 'Drug abuse includes the wrongful use, possession, manufacture, or dis- tribution 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 inhal- ants), propellants and/or prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or pharma- ceutical compounds with the intent to induce intoxication, excitement, or stu- pefaction of the central nervous system, and will subject the violator to punitive action under the UCMJ and/or adverse administrative action.'

O'Toole stressed the importance of Sailors exercising their opportu- nity to receive individual education counseling at the Navy College Office to establish their goals and develop a roadmap for success.

JAX AIR NEWS, NAS JACKSONVILLE, Thursday, November 24, 2011 9 Welcome home, MSRON 10 By Clark Pierce Editor More than 275 active duty and Reserve Sailors of Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron (MSRON) 10 returned to NAS Jacksonville after nightfall Nov. 15 follow- ing a seven-month deployment to United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. Hundreds of spouses, children, family members and friends gathered at NAS Jax Hangar 117 to celebrate their return home. MSRON 10 CMDCM James Pohlen said, "It's my pleasure to see so many families and friends here tonight even though it's a bit late for some of the children. The excitement and anticipation of homecom- ing makes this a very special event for everyone involved." He added, "While we don't officially demobilize until early December, there will be generous liberty over the Thanksgiving holiday. Demobilization includes vari- ous debriefs and inspections, along with medical evalua- tions, to make sure our people are fit to return to duty or their civilian jobs." The squadron will not bring any of its patrol boats back from the UAE. Instead, a lot of their gear was transferred to their relief squadron, MSRON 8, out of Newport, R.I. "For me, the highlight of our deployment was watching our Sailors from the most junior to the most experienced exe- cute their mission safely and effectively," said Pohlen. Capt. Robert Perry, dep- uty commander, Maritime Expeditionary Security Group (MESG) 2 attended the home- coming from the group head- quarters in Portsmouth, Va. "MSRON 10's performance was Photos by Clark Pierce Cheers filled the night of Nov. 15 as MSRON 10 Sailors disembark their charter airlift after a seven-month deployment in United Arab Emirates, where they provided both port and seaward security in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.

They set one of the highest operational tempos of any squadron that's ever deployed to that part of the world and that means they had very little down time. There were no mishaps regard- ing their patrol boats or the high-value assets they were guarding," said Perry. Perry also conveyed a message from MESG 2 Commander, Commodore Paul McElroy: "Subject: Bravo Zulu. Upon your return to homeport [NAS Jax], I want to extend my per- sonal congratulations to MSRON 10 for completion of a highly dynamic mobilization, certification and deployment to the 5th Fleet AOR. You dem- onstrated great professionalism and perseverance in support- ing the forward-deployed oper- ational commander's objec- tives maintaining regional maritime security, ensuring regional access and strength- ening regional partner capa- bilities. Your warrior ethos has set the standard for all MESF [Maritime Expeditionary Security Force] and NECC [Navy Expeditionary Combat Command] commands to emu- late."

Snail mail worked but was, indeed, very slow. In the end, Facebook worked about the best," said Ballard. Piper agreed, "We had no major issues -just some communications concerns, especially with our large number of new families who hadn't previously expe- rienced deployment. MSRON 10 is a Reserve squadron composed of drill units from Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Gulfport and Charleston -so it was not as easy to organize family events as it is for an active duty squadron," said Piper. MSRON 10 is a unit of MESG 2, headquartered in Portsmouth, Va. Its four Reserve and three active duty squadrons comprise one of the Navy's premier anti-terrorism/force protection units and is part of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. The role of expeditionary security is to provide force protec- tion and security for designated assets such as ships, aircraft or facilities in places where there is no perma- nent Navy infrastructure or where the security capa- bilities are insufficient or unknown.

I was also in charge of the weekly rotator flight. The days were long, the work was stressful but at the end, nothing made me any happier than sending the Sailors and Soldiers home alive to reunite with loved ones," contin- ued Emenogu. "While serving on my IA tour, I developed a far deeper appreciation for my fellow Sailors and service members who left all behind to do their duty. These folks stood by me when times were tough. One of my saddest times came when I had to type a Red Cross mes- sage while looking into the eyes of a Sailor going home to bury his broth- er," Emenogu recalled. He continued, "My experience working with Photo by Kaylee LaRocque Commander, Navy Region Southeast Rear Adm. Jack Scorby Jr. discusses the sacrifices made by the Individual Augmentees and their families while on deploy- ment during the recogni- tion luncheon. the other branches of the service inspired great pride in me even though the Soldiers called me 'Sergeant.' I realized that the capability of a United States Sailor is only limited by their imagination. We are truly special in all aspects and are equipped with the skills to make things happen. We should all be filled with a sense of pride knowing that we directly contributed to making this world a safer place." After lunch, each IA was presented with a special plaque and coin from the Northeast Florida Navy League Council and thank-you letters 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. "This is a very classy event and I'm very honored to be here today. It's great that the base and Navy League are recognizing those of us who served as IAs with units overseas," said RP3 Chester Harden of Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Eleven who was deployed as an IA to Baghdad, Iraq for 12 months.

Joseph McQuade Naval Hospital Jacksonville Director of Public Health and family medicine physician In my practice at the hospital, I often am amazed at how much things change in providing medical care over only a few years. For example, colonoscopies to screen for colon cancer were relative- ly rare just 10 years ago. Now nearly 80 percent of our patients over age 50 get this screening at Naval Hospital (NH) Jacksonville. How about preventing lung cancer? Lung cancer, early heart disease and strokes kill more patients than anything else, year to year. The Great American Smokeout took place last week and we took a few minutes to think about our efforts to help our patients quit. Q: Have we gotten anywhere with helping patients quit smoking? In 2005, providers at NH Jacksonville referred 66 patients from our primary care clinics to the Wellness Center to get help quitting smoking. In 2011, our providers are on track to send nearly 5,800 patients to our Wellness Centers for help to quit this tough habit. Q: Why has quitting smoking become so popular? On Jan. 1, 2010 NH Jacksonville banned smoking from its campus. No more smoking gazebos for patients Ask Dr. Joe Photos by CS3 Christopher Glory Capt. Joseph McQuade, director of public health at Naval Hospital Jax explains that tobacco remains the lead- ing preventable cause of death and dis- ease in the U.S. to medical staff Nov. 17. Of these deaths, about 40 percent are from cancer, 35 percent from heart disease and stroke and 25 percent from lung disease. Yet, smokers at any age can significantly reduce the risk of sick- ness and death by quitting.

Mayor Bloomberg has declared a smoke-free City of New York. Gator fans may not smoke on the University of Florida campus, nor can we smoke legally at any of Jacksonville's parks and beaches. The Navy's submarine force is smoke- free now, after researchers showed that non-smoking sub sailors had levels of nicotine by-products in their urine nearly equal to smokers. The dangers of secondhand smoking have been care- fully documented in recent years and this has been a driving force in efforts to keep smoking out of public spaces. Medications to help patients quit have improved in the past several years, and these newer medications counter- act the dependence on nicotine. We've de-normalized the act of smok- ing and we've tried to make it as easy as possible to get medications and behav- ioral therapy to help quitters succeed. We hold up the mantra that we should make it as easy to find effective medical care (for quitting) as it is to buy a pack of cigarettes. So if you still smoke, stop in at our Wellness Center or ask your provider to help get you started on medication and behavioral therapy to help you quit. Call Wellness at 542-5292 or stop by. We're located next to NAS Jax fitness center. The average lifetime smoker may lose up to 15 years of life due to smoking. Most people in 2011 agree that 15 years is too much life to waste.

MCPON: Using spice and other products will end a Sailor's career From Page 6 not limited to the following: Products that contain synthetic can- nabinoid 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 canna- binoids, 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 vomit- ing, 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 prod- ucts, designer drugs, chemicals used for huffing, salvia divinorum, or prod- ucts 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 willbe 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." /iw vm IN 2011 at Yellow Water Community.

JAX AIR NEWS, NAS JACKSONVILLE, Thursday, November 24, 2011 13 NAS Jax fire chief retires after 30 By Kaylee LaRocque NAS Jax Deputy PAO First Coast Navy Fire and Emergency Services Fire Chief Don Martin will retire from civil service Dec. 31 after 30 years with the fire department. Martin, a native of Panama City, Fla., attended Florida State College, St. Augustine Tech and Alabama Fire College. He then served in the U.S. Navy for six years, achieving the rank of Radioman 2nd class petty officer. After completing his enlistment, Martin worked for Florida Marine Patrol before joining the NS Mayport Fire Department in 1981 where he worked as a dispatcher. While working for the department, Martin accepted a firefighter position in the Upward Mobility Program. After enrolling in several classes, he quickly advanced in rank and his path was set. In 2008, Martin became fire chief of the newly consolidated NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport Fire Departments. "This was definitely one of my biggest challenges. We consolidated our budgets and personnel system. It went from managing and supervising 50 personnel to 130," he said. "But it's been very rewarding and we have one heck of a department with an excellent team. These are the best fire departments in the Southeast Region." During his tenure as fire chief, Martin has overseen numerous achievements by the fire station personnel including: supporting the Self Help Program, saving the government hundreds of thousands of dollars by procuring supplies and using firefighter expertise for projects; establishing a labor management team to improve labor relations; help establishing a tactical execution team to provide policies and procedures for regional fire and emergency services; assisting the Regional Dispatch Center on the implementation of a regional communication program; creating mutual aid agreements with community agencies; upgrading the NAS Jax Emergency Management System from basic life support to advanced life support; improving the firefighter's training program by offering courses and professional development; reducing budget over- time issues; supporting the Mobile Aircraft Trainer program to support local agencies and providing technical assistance to the Guantanamo Bay Fire Department by repairing self contained breathing apparatus. "Things have really changed within the department since I first started we have new technologies, equip- ment and a new hiring and advancement process. We have a lot of young recruits and sometimes they might not be moving up the ranks as fast as they would like to, but this is a great career and a very rewarding job," said Martin. "My motto has always been safety first and I believe in treating others as you would like to be treated. This job is all about teamwork. I think the best part of this Photo by Clark Pierce First Coast Navy Fire and Emergency Services Fire Chief Don Martin said he will dearly miss his fire- fighters and the Sailors of NAS Jacksonville. job has been getting to know new family members within the fire department because in this job, you spend a lot of time away from home," he said. "I am definitely going to miss everyone and the entire NAS Jacksonville and NAVAL STATION MAYPORT teams all that we accomplished." Martin would also like to thank all those who sup- ported him and his department. "I specifically want to thank Rear Adm. Scorby who chose me for this position and the Commanding Officers and Executive Officers of NAS Jax and NS Mayport for allowing me to manage these fire stations," he stated. "I'd also like to thank my wife, Blandie for every- thing she has done to support my career. I've spent a lot of time away from home and missed many of my kid's events but she has always done a tremendous job of keeping the household running when I was away. I thank her for allowing me to be who I am." In the future, Martin plans to take a vacation and Photo by Miriam S. Gallet NAS Jax Commanding Officer Capt. Jeffrey Maclay presents Fire Chief Don Martin with the Civilian Meritorious Service Medal during his retirement lun- cheon on Oct. 28.

He also plans to spend more time with his wife, Blandie and their two children, Donald Jr. and Jeanetta.

HBto7%Of 14 JAX AIR NEWS, NAS JACKSONVILLE, Thursday, November 24, 2011 Safety stand down promotes awareness By Kaylee LaRocque NAS lax Deputy PAO NAS Jax conducted a safe- ty stand down at the VP-30 auditorium Nov. 16 to remind Sailors and civilian employees to make smart decisions to stay safe over the Thanksgiving hol- iday. Coordinated by the base safety office, the event promot- ed risk management and safe driving measures. "There have been three Sailors killed in the Jackson- ville area over the past year in mishaps. Maybe the cir- cumstances would have been different if a colleague had intervened or the person had made other decisions. Today, we are going to arm you with information so you and your shipmates can make good decisions. You are all a valu- able part of the NAS Jax team and we need you," said NAS Jax Commanding Officer Capt. Jeffrey Maclay. "The most dangerous day to drive is the day after Thanksgiving when many of you will be on the road. So with the holidays coming up, we want to ensure you return safely," he added. Maclay also talked about Club 2000 an NAS Jacksonville program that allows military members and civilian employees to call for a free ride home if they've been drinking. "This program is to make sure you get home safe if you do go out and have a Photo by Kaylee LaRocque Risk management speaker and comedian Bo Irvine discusses the importance of wearing seatbelts, using a designated driver when out on the town and not talking on cell phones when operating a motor vehicle during a base safety stand down on Nov. 16. couple drinks and don't have a designated driver to get you home. Just call the quarterdeck and they will get you a free cab. There is absolutely no retribu- tion for using this program," said Maclay. The guest speaker for the safety stand down was risk management speaker and comedian Bo Irvine, who was the director of safety and occu- pational health and fire protec- tion at Kaneohe Marine Corps Base Hawaii for 20 years. "All of us practice risk man- agement each and every day but you put the value to what- ever your risks might be. It starts every morning when you turn on the lights after getting out of bed. Then if you take a shower you put your hand in to test the water you don't just jump right in to see if it's hot or cold. That's risk management," said Irvine. Irvine then asked the audi- ence why they wear seat belts. Most answered "because it's the law." "That is the same answer all over the world. This law was made to protect us from our- selves. Statistics prove that wearing seat belts saves lives," he continued. Irvine also discussed how insurance companies charge younger drivers much higher rates because they tend to be higher risk takers. "Eighteen to 28 year olds are the highest risk takers and that's why they charge you 9 million dollars to get car insurance because they know you are going to have accidents," he said. "And, many of you joined the military because you are risk takers. Most risk takers don't like risk management but you can still be in the risk business and be safe. If you are going to go out and drink, always have a designated driver and make sure you choose that person before you go, not after everyone has already had a few," stressed Irvine. "And, I want you all to know that by drinking a cup of coffee or an energy drink will not make you sober. If you are the designated driver you don't get to drink! Your friends and families lives depend on you." Irvine also stressed the importance of not talking on cell phones while driving. "Distracted drivers get killed or kill others. Can you imagine a P-3 pilot playing video games while flying the aircraft? If you are driving 55 mph and looking at your phone texting someone you can't be concentrating on driving down that road," he continued. "Remember, it's not the safe- ty department's fault, not the fire department's fault for not responding quick enough to get you out of the situation you got yourself into. You control your immediate destiny. Risk man- agement is not rocket science - it's something we practice every day," concluded Irvine. Maclay concluded the stand down by stating, "Take this information to heart, use risk management wherever you go and be safe." "This was different from the other safety stand downs I've been to the guest speaker was very humorous in presenting the information. He definitely got the point across," said AZ3 Mario Correa Jackson after the brief. Teen driving class sponsored by NAS Jax Safety Office From the NAS lax Safety Office Statistically, new drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident or receive a ticket within the first 12 months of getting a drivers license.

The NAS Jacksonville USO partnered with Chevy and Winn-Dixie to throw 25 expectant military moms a "Baby Shower on Wheels" Nov. 17. The same event was held at the NS Mayport USO the previous day. As part of the event, a "Military Mom Diaper Dash" was held at three local Winn-Dixie grocery stores allowing the moms-to-be to dash in the store and gather necessary items for their babies such as diapers, wipes, bottles, etc. They also had the opportunity to test drive new Chevy models during the event. "This was an opportunity for Chevy, Winn-Dixie and the USO to give some- thing back to the American heroes," said Jennifer Symmes of Access Public Alter washing mrougn me stores, me expectant mothers headed back to the USO to learn about car seat safety from a representative of Safe Kids of Northeast Florida, enjoy refreshments and receive more free giveaways. It was also a time for the moms-to-be to get some support from others going through the same thing they are going through which eases some fear and anxiety. One of the expectant mothers, Honey Copeland said it was a great opportu- nity to participate in the Diaper Dash because not only did it give her a chance to get some items for her baby; but it was an opportunity to meet other pregnant mothers and get some comfort since she has been alone throughout her most of her pregnancy because her spouse is on deployment.

Greyhawks detachment at NAS Jax for OLF Whitehouse training By Clark Pierce Editor A detachment of six E-2C Hawkeyes and two C-2A Greyhounds from Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW )120 recently con- cluded an 11-day, shore- based training evolu- tion for pilots at NAS Jacksonville and Outlying Landing Field (OLF) Whitehouse. That train- ing is followed by two weeks of shipboard land- ings on an underway air- craft carrier. VAW-120 is the Navy's fleet replacement squad- ron (FRS) for carrier air- borne early warning squadrons flying the E-2C Hawkeye, and fleet logistics support squad- rons flying the C-2A Greyhound aircraft. The squadron's mission is to train pilots, naval flight officers, aircrew and maintainers. Upon suc- cessful completion of their training syllabi, they leave VAW-120 for assignment to one of the Navy's fleet E-2 or C-2 squadrons based at Naval Station Norfolk, Va. or Naval Base Ventura County at Point Mugu, Calif. VAW-120 Operations Officer Cmdr. Brad Stevens is officer-in- charge of the detach- ment. "We brought 13 student pilots -four Greyhound and nine Hawkeye - including one French navy pilot. Teaching pilots 'ball flying' using the optical landing sys- tem at OLF Whitehouse, both day and night, is the primary mission for this detachment. It allows student pilots get their field carrier landing prac- tice (FCLP), which rep- resents the end of their FRS training syllabi," said Stevens. At OLF Whitehouse, VAW-120 landing sig- nal officers (LSO) make sure student pilots have learned their lessons well. "Prevention of mis- haps is the LSO's pri- mary job. Whether it's FCLPs at Whitehouse or their first carrier land- ing, each landing event is analyzed, graded and debriefed to pilots by their LSO," said Stevens. During the squad- ron's detachment at NAS Jacksonville, they average VAW-120 pilot Lt. Jonathan Mason checks the nose gear of his C-2A Greyhound carrier logistics aircraft. C-2A Greyhound pilot Lt. Jess Caldwell checks the starboard engine prior to taking off for night opera- tions at OLF Whitehouse. Ryland is honoring all military personnel and their families with special offers.

No antibiotics please CDC advises parents about colds, flu and antibiotics From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has news for parents this cold and flu season: antibiotics don't work for a cold or the flu. Antibiotics kill bacteria, not viruses. And colds, flu and most sore throats are caused by viruses. Antibiotics don't touch viruses never have, never will. And it's not really news. It's a long-documented medical fact. But tell that to parents seeking relief for a child's runny nose. Research shows that most Americans have either missed the message about appropriate antibi- otic use or they simply don't believe it. It's a case of mistaken popular belief winning out over fact. According to public opinion research, there is a per- ception that "antibiotics cure every- thing." Americans believe in the power of antibiotics so much that many patients go to the doctor expecting to get a pre- scription. And they do. Why? Physicians often are too pres- sured for time to engage in lengthy explanations of why antibiotics won't work. And, when the diagnosis is uncer- tain as many symptoms for viral and bacterial infections are similar doc- tors are more likely to yield to patient demands for antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance The problem is, taking antibiotics when they are not needed can do more harm than good. Widespread inappro- priate use of antibiotics is fueling an increase in drug-resistant bacteria. And sick individuals aren't the only people who can suffer the consequences. The most obvious consequence of inappropriate antibiotic use is its effect on the sick patient. When antibiotics are incorrectly used to treat viral infections, such as colds and flu, people aren't getting the best care for their condition. Antibiotics won't fight the virus, make the patient feel better, yield a quicker recovery or keep others from getting sick. A less obvious consequence of antibi- otic overuse is the boost it gives to drug- resistant disease-causing bacteria. Almost every type of bacteria has become stronger and less responsive to antibiotic treatment when it really is needed. These antibiotic-resistant bacte- ria can quickly spread threatening the community with a new strain of infec- tious disease that is more difficult to cure and more expensive to treat. Antibiotic resistance is one of the world's most pressing public health problems. Americans of all ages can lower this risk by talking to their doctors and using antibiotics appropriately. What to do for colds/flu Children and adults with viral infec- tions recover when the illness has run its course. Colds caused by viruses may last for two weeks or longer. Measures that can help a person with a cold or flu feel better: Increase fluid intake Use a cool mist vaporizer or saline nasal spray to relieve congestion Soothe throat with ice chips, sore throat spray or lozenges (for older chil- dren and adults) Viral infections may sometimes lead to bacterial infections. Patients should keep their doctor informed if their ill- ness gets worse or lasts a long time.

The School District serves students whose parents are assigned to Naval Air Station Jacksonville. "The Department of Defense is strongly committed to ensuring that the children of military families receive an excellent education that prepares them for suc- cessful careers and to be active contributors to their communities and the nation," said Marilee Fitzgerald, DoDEA acting director. "Our partnerships with public schools serving military-connected families are an important part of that commitment." "We are extremely delighted to have the opportu- nity to work with DoDEA in providing academic and social/emotional support for our military students," said Donna Wethington, Clay County School District Supervisor of Student Services. The grant will focus on a K-12 Academic Program, preparing teachers to integrate STEM content across grades and disciplines. It will also provide support to ease the challenges that military dependent students face due to transitions and deployments. "Student achievement in the academic areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) has been a strong focus and goal of our district to prepare life-long learners for success in a global and competitive workplace and in acquiring applicable life skills," Wethington said. "These funds will provide us with the additional sup- port to accomplish those goals for all students along with support to over 1600 military students and their families to help ease the challenges that they face. We truly have been blessed with this opportunity." "I am very pleased the district has been awarded this grant from DoDEA," said Ben H. Wortham, Superintendent for the Clay County School District. "These funds will certain- ly benefit the students of our military fami- lies and further broaden our curriculum." Through this grant, teachers will benefit from profes- sional development for implementation of the core areas and coaching to increase academic relevance back in the classroom for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade stu- dents. All grants focus on enhancing student learn- ing opportunities, student achievement, and educa- tor professional development at military-connected schools. Some grants also have a counseling compo- nent that focuses on easing the challenges that mili- tary students face due to transitions and deployments. While some active duty military families are stationed in overseas locations, the majority live on or near a military installation in the U.S. Approximately 60 percent of the children of military families in the U.S. are school age and the majority of them attend public schools throughout the nation. The Educational Partnership Grant Program is designed to ease transition of children from mili- tary families from attendance in DoDEA schools to attendance in public schools. The program provides assistance to support quality programs and strate- gies to improve academic achievement and learn- ing outcomes of children of military members. DoDEA awarded more than $64 million in grants Volunteers needed for Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind event From the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine is hosting the U.S. Association of Blind Athletes National High School Goalball Tournament on its campus Dec. 1-3. Thirteen boys teams and 11 girls teams from across the nation will be competing for the national title for this event, and volunteers are requested to work as line judges, scorekeep- ers and timekeepers. Goalball was developed in 1946 in an effort to help in the rehabilitation of visually impaired World War II veterans. This team sport, designed for blind athletes, evolved into a competitive game and fully became a part of the Paralympics during the 1980 Summer Paralympics in Arnhem, Netherlands. Participants compete in teams of three and throw a ball with bells in it into the opponent's goal. The players judge the position and movement of the ball from the sounds of the bells in the ball. Below are the dates/times for volunteer availability: Dec. 1 from 5-9:30 p.m. Dec. 2 from 7:30 a.m. noon Dec. 2 from 12:45-5 p.m. Dec. 2 from 5:45-9:30 p.m. Dec. 3 from 7:45 a.m. noon Dec. 3 from 12:45-5 p.m. Dec. 3 from 5:45-9:30 p.m. Personnel who are interested in volunteering may contact Alison Crozier at (904) 827-2270 or Sue Hill at (904) 827-2601 no later than Nov. 29. this year to public schools serving military chil- dren throughout the nation. The grants were awarded to 57 military-connected local edu- cation agencies to increase student achieve- ment and ease the challenges military stu- dents face due to transitions and deployment. To be eligible for participation in the grant, the dis- trict must have an active military-connected student population of 5 percent or more, with a population of 15 percent or more military-connected students at the school level. ,4ccar&e Nike Sneakers II I I--- Sizes 6c 13 1 1 g h A $5-0Szs1 ,DI E Tuesday= SundayU~lI better For Milita (Rtred7 ) ~nts You'll Love our Changes!

But if we focus on the good in our partner rather than wallowing in what s wrong with them (in our opinion), then our perspective of our relationship can be totally transformed.
