Honoring our shipmates: The heritage of the military funeral and burial at sea By Annalisa Underwood Naval History and Heritage Command Communication and Outreach Division

Honoring the deceased is a centuries-old practice that includes many traditions across cultures. The customs and traditions behind military funerals and burial at sea date as far back as ancient Greece and Rome. In the Navy’s

culture, as we give the ﬁnal honor to our shipmates, we employ traditions that not only signify the service of the deceased, but also display our commitment to their legacy. Reversal of Rank In Royal Connell and William Mack’s “Naval Ceremonies, Customs, and Traditions,”it is noted that the rever-

sal of rank at military funerals is modeled after an ancient Roman custom of “reversing all rank and position when celebrating the feast of Saturn,”showing that, at death, all are equal. This is signiﬁed by positioning the honorary pallbearers and all other mourners, if practicable, in reverse order of rank.

LOCAL SAILOR TURNS DREAM INTO REALITY By Chris Wyatt Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) Rigger Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Richard D. Vissoh earned his 3rd Mate Unlimited Oceans certification from the Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy (MAMA) in Norfolk, May 13. In earning his 3rd Mate certification, Vissoh becomes a member of the deck department, a watch stander and a ship safety officer in addition to being fourth in command. Vissoh dreamed of this moment and knew it would eventually come – he just didn’t know when. During his many deployments, Vissoh would often stand watch on the bridge and have discussions with new Navy ensigns and senior officers who attended maritime schools in New York. He would often talk about his desire to become an officer in the Navy and the many opportunities that come with that designation. A few of the officers Vissoh spoke to had the 3rd Mate

certification in their backgrounds. “I always had a goal to become an officer in the U.S. Navy and just assumed that you had to be an officer to be able eligible for 3rd Mate,” Vissoh said. “Once I came to MARMC, I met a recruiter from MAMA and found out that I could register for the program. I knew opportunities like this one only come around a few times in one’s lifetime. I didn’t second guess it and I was fully committed to completing the program.” The 3rd Mate Unlimited Oceans certification process is a rigorous program complete with numerous classes ranging from basic entry level courses all the way up to bridge resource management and celestial navigation. Vissoh completed 23 night courses, with each class lasting from one to four weeks. After completing the courses, Vissoh’s next step was to complete thirty seven individual assessments – very similar to personnel qualification standards. Once the assessments were complete, they were sent to the U.S. Coast

INVICTUS GAMES 2016 Navy wounded warrior athletes brought home more gold for the U.S. team as the Invictus Games came to a close in Orlando, Florida, May 12.

Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) Reserve Director of Maritime Operations Battle Staff Rear Adm. Mark Fung participated in three-day visit to the Roanoke Navy Week, May 15-18. To officially kick off the Roanoke Navy Week, the city presented Fung with a proclamation proclaiming May 16-22 as a special time to show appreciation for America’s Navy. In addition to receiving an official proclamation, Fung visited with leadership from the Salem Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and conducted a memorial ceremony at the National D-Day Memorial for all D-Day veterans. “Participating in Roanoke Navy Week provides a great opportunity to showcase the power projection our naval forces provide,” Fung said. He also met with educators to discuss science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) outreach at Virginia Tech and Roanoke College. “The world’s oceans give the U.S. Navy the power to protect America’s interests anywhere, at any time,” Fung said. “Presence helps deter potential conflicts, and it avoids escalating the situation when tensions rise. It also gives our nation’s leaders the chance to act when needed. Again, being there matters, such as being here to take part in Roanoke Navy Week.” The admiral’s visit was part of the national Navy Week outreach initiative to educate local communities on their Navy’s current relevance and worldwide capabilities. He reached out to veterans and community members, expressing the Navy’s role in American security, global commerce, and future career opportunities. Navy Weeks exist to share the Navy’s story to an area without a significant force presence. NECC is an enduring war fighting force providing sea-to-shore and inland operating environment capabilities across the full range of military operations, which is focused on delivering combat-effective expeditionary forces ready for worldwide operations now and into the future.

NEWPORT NEWS

More than 2,000 Pre-commissioning Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) Sailors participated in the ship’s first fast cruise exercise, May 3-5. Fast cruise is a simulated underway, designed to prepare the crew for life at sea and get them in an operational mindset. The exercise is geared towards preparing Sailors for future deployments. “This exercise is a good starting point for them to understand the rhythm of an underway ship,” Command Master Chief Donnie Novak said. “When leadership speaks about being underway or pulling into port, the scenario becomes more real to the junior Sailors, many of whom have never been underway. Now that they’ve had a taste, it builds confidence, builds camaraderie, and makes them rely more on themselves and their shipmates.” General quarters, man overboard, and abandon ship drills were allhands evolutions that tested the proficiency of the entire crew, while major departments such as Engineering, Deck, Air, and Navigation used

the opportunity to stand up full watch teams, simulate air transfer requests, and set material conditions. “Being on here allows us to operate without distraction. It may be a sacriﬁce for a couple days, but the training is extremely valuable,” Chief Boatswain’s Mate Brian Epling said. Supply Department achieved a major milestone during this fast cruise, serving 1,850 lunches during the ﬁrst full underway day. The Engineering Department was also commended during a general quarters exercise, in which they responded to many accident causalities

and electrical fire simulations. material condition yoke was also set on the ship’s firemain for the first time. “This is the most realistic fast cruise I have ever been on,” Novak said. “It is a building block to the next fast cruise, with the end result of our crew being prepared for whatever our ship’s mission may be. I couldn’t be more proud of the crew.” “Fast cruise brings us all together to work as a team and learn the equipment,” Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Brian Woolf said. “I think this will set us up for success.”

USS STOUT DEPLOYS By Ensign Adam Geuss USS Stout Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Sailors aboard guided-missile destroyer USS Stout (DDG 55) departed their Norfolk home port May 14 for a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility. Stout recently completed a challenging training cycle in preparation for deployment, while simultaneously assisting two other strike groups prepare for theirs. "My crew has been pushed to the limits during the last year in preparation for this deployment and have excelled at every challenge," Stout’s Commanding Ofﬁcer Cmdr. Adam Cheatham said. "I have a very talented and amazing crew. I couldn't be more proud of the crew and I look forward to being forward deployed with these men and women."

This deployment is part of an ongoing rotation of ships supporting maritime security operations in the U.S. 6th and 5th Fleet areas of responsibility. Maritime security operations provide stability and complement counter-terrorism efforts of regional partners. U.S. Navy operations in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet are focused on the commitment to fostering security and stability through operations and training with regional partners. This mission is vital to enhancing existing, cooperative relationships necessary to safeguard the region's role in the global economy. The Stout is a ballistic missile defense-capable Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Capable of traveling in excess of 30 knots and has a ship's company of approximately 300 Sailors.

Members of the Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System (ERSS) team examine a simulated battlefield trauma patient during their field environment training at Joint Expeditionary Base Little CreekFort Story. The ERSS team consists of nine members and is finishing a three-week training evolution that focuses on unit cohesion prior to deploying to support units in expeditionary settings.

NMCP’s Simulation Center trains expeditionary medical team By MC1 Gary Johnson Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH

“Helo five mikes out, carrying two improvised explosive device blast [IED] casualties,” calls the radio operator to the anxious team of medical providers. As an MH-60S Sea Hawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Support Squadron 22 touched down at the cold and rainy landing zone on Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, May 10, members of the Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System (ERSS) team rush to carry their simulated patients’ stretchers to their makeshift operating room and officially start their field environment training event. The event was the first of the team’s two capstone scenarios that marked the end of a three-week course that focuses on unit cohesion, general military knowledge and equipment familiarization. The newly composed team of nine individual augmentees will deploy in support of U.S. Central Command operations. While the team of rotating members has been in place for nearly a decade, this is only the second time the ERSS course has been offered. “We all come from different backgrounds and have had different experiences so the familiarization training is very beneficial to the group,” the team’s general surgeon Cmdr. Michael McNally said. “The primary objective of this class is team building, because this is a group of personnel who have never worked together in an expeditionary environment,” Director of the Healthcare Simulation and Bioskills Training Center at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) Cmdr. Michael Spooner said. “There are, however, a number of secondary objectives such as trauma training, aircraft and ship familiarization, shipboard life familiarization, operational language and setting familiarization and familiarization of their specific equipment.” The team consists of nine positions: a nurse anesthetist, a surgeon, an emergency physician, an independent duty hospital corpsman, two critical care nurses, two surgical technician hospital corpsmen, and a field service medical technician hospital corpsman. The three-week training process was a collaboration of several commands, including NMCP and the Surface Warfare Medical Institute. The first week of training, held at U.S. Fleet Forces Command, consisted of the team receiving training about Navy ships and aircraft, shipboard life, field environments and equipment. Week two was hosted by NMCP’s Healthcare Simulation Center. The week began with a simulated trauma so the team could be critiqued on their practices. Once they were debriefed with that critique, the rest of the week was spent responding to more simulated trauma patients to practice their skills and define team member roles. They also spent time ensuring that they know what equipment will be needed and what scenarios call for specific gear. “Once that initial session is debriefed, the sim center staff spent the rest of the time building them up by helping them establish a good structure for positioning their members and equipment so they can succeed,” Spooner said. “In general, this is a very adaptable team that has to be nimble so they can

get in and out with their gear in very demanding environments and we want to make sure they are ready for that.” As the week went on, the exercises got more demanding and more involved, and the Healthcare Simulation Center staff was there to guide and critique. “For a nine-person team, two patients may seem like a mass casualty because it would kind of exceed their capability,” Spooner said. “So we try to get them up to a twoperson casualty situation. We also give them an operational scenario that they plan for and will – worst case scenario – force them to split into two teams. This means that they

will have to split up and decide how they will divide their gear and keep it to as little gear as possible.” Throughout the week, the team practiced IV insertions, intubations and placing chest tubes and tourniquets. The week ended with a scenario similar to the capstone at the landing zone: a simulated patient had been injured by an IED, and the actor portraying the patient was wheeled into the operating room wearing a cut suit. A cut suit is the most realistic way to simulate the look, feel and smell effects of severe traumatic events on a live human while allowing first responders and physicians to safely perform real procedures from the point of injury, to treatment en route, and transition of care to surgical intervention. Once the final scenario was completed in the Healthcare Simulation Center, the team was ready for the capstone events: the field environment and shipboard exercises. At the helicopter landing zone, they set up an operating room environment in a Conex-style box that contained all their gear. The team then worked to ensure their patients were stable and able to be placed back on the helicopter as if they are being flown to a hospital for further treatment. For the shipboard portion, the team went aboard USS Nitze (DDG 94), May 12. During this portion of the training, they responded to a simulated shipboard casualty. “This training has been beneficial not only on a professional level but also a personal level,” McNally said. “We are able to learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses and focus on what we need to do to help our patients. There is always a high level of uncertainty regarding what kind of scenarios we will face when deployed, and I feel that this training has drastically improved our odds of success wherever we may go.”

NORFOLK

Regardless if you are going to be a parent for the first time or are expecting your fourth newborn, Norfolk’s Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) offers a Budget For Baby Workshop for active-duty and retired Sailors and Marines. The Budget for Baby Workshop is a non-profit course that teaches all rates and ranks as well as experience and inexperience parents information on financial readiness for their new baby, provides resources and information on programs like visiting nurses, Fleet and Family Support Center parenting courses and any NMCRS resources that can be helpful to parents. Norfolk’s NMCRS’ Director Kathy Nelson said, the reason for the course is so that parents can plan ahead for the possible financial hardships that can happen with the addition of a new family member. “Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is providing Sailors and Marines with a one-stop shop for new parents,” Nelson said. “This course provides tools, like information on the local sales and expenses, and resources, like the visiting nurse program, as well as information on child support and WIC. The purpose of having all of this available is so that parents are armed with the necessary information to make it easier to deal with the financial changes.” Nelson explained that the course is taught by experienced volunteers that provide first-hand accounts on how budget and deal with additional expenses.

MC3 Jeanyra A. Mateo Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society volunteer instructor Mary Martinez discusses parenting resources during a Budget for Baby Workshop.

“Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society’s courses are free of charge,” Nelson said. “Each family that attends the Budget for Baby Workshop has the option of receiving a baby sea bag, valued at $100, which contains essential items or a $50 gift card. The purpose of providing these two options is to ensure the gifts are well used and beneﬁt the family. Families also get a hand-crafted blanket

that is made by volunteer members of our community.” Budget for Baby Workshop volunteer instructor Mary Martinez said, many Sailors and Marines aren’t aware of all the beneﬁts available to them. The workshop is to inform them of the supporting community and available resources they have. “Many Sailors do not know of the wait

list for the Child Development Centers, which can be a problem when you have dual-military parents or two income households, which is something we go over in class,” Martinez said. “New parents can be unaware of where to get the least inexpensive diapers; therefore, we provide them with charts that compare the prices of several retailers including online ordering. We also discuss local thrift stores and means of saving money and preparing an emergency savings funds and future needs.” Martinez explained that there are many aspects of parenting that can be costly and the goal of the course is to make members aware of these challenges and finding ways to deal with it without getting into dept. “I am a first time mother and this course allowed me to analyze the difference between things that I actually need and things that I just want,” Martinez said. “It is great to have people that are experienced that can guide you through the financial aspect of adding a new member to your family.”

HURRIICANE GUIDE E 2016 Stay preparedd: Keep you and your family uppdated in NFAAS Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

terms Tropical Depression: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less. Tropical Storm: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 knots). Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher. In the Western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. Major Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 111 mph (96 knots) or higher – Category 3, 4 or 5 (see right). Storm surge: an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm’s winds which can reach heights well over 20 feet and can span hundreds of miles of coastline. Storm tide: the water level rise during a storm due to the combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, and the Eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to Nov. 30. The Atlantic basin includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The Eastern Pacific basin extends to 140°W.

June 1 is the official start of hurricane season, which means accountability will be a priority more than ever. Natural disasters like hurricanes, wild fires, earthquakes, and floods are just some of the disastrous reasons why it is important to make sure your Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) information is always up to date. NFAAS is an online accountability tracker, used following a disaster or other events, to help determine the location and well-being of Navy active duty, reserves, Department of the Navy civilians and their immediate family members. “There are three key things to remember during a disaster. First and foremost is safety followed by accountability and knowing how to get help,” Navy Region Mid-Atlantic’s personnel service officer Lt. Catherine Warren said. “NFAAS was created to provide a means for individuals and commands to account for personnel and request assistance when needed. The bottom line is that we want to know if everyone is okay, where everyone is, and how we can help.” The establishment of NFAAS came after the massive destruction of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. With the displacement and evacuation of so many people in a short period of time, it made it difficult to accurately account for each person. To help keep information current in NFAAS, service members are required to take part in the Navywide semi-annual updates. “Although the primary way to muster is still through your chain of command, the updates in NFAAS are incredibly important and required. NFAAS serves as the primary reporting system

for commands annd their In-Service Support Centers (ISSCs) to ennsure personnel are accounted for and assistance is provided when needed,” Warren said. “The visibiility it provides up and down the Navy chain of coommand helps in so many ways.” One example Warren recalled was from a disaster that occurrred when a petty ofﬁcer on a ship had family membbers in an affected area that was devastated by thee weather. But, because NFAAS was updated withh correct information, the family members were aable to be reached thousands of miles around thee world and assistance was provided by the Navvy-Marine Corps Relief Society and the Red Crosss. “NFAAS is im mportant because it allows us to help during a disaster. We are one Navy family and we need to eensure our active duty, reserves, civilians and family members are equally accounted for and d provided assistance. This tool helps us do just thhat,” Warren commented on why NFASS is importtant. NFAAS is eassy to use and there are a few of ways to use it. ■ You can go to the website https://navyfamily. navy.mil and clicck on “Navy Military, Civilians, Outside Contiguuous United States, Contractors, and their Familiees.” The site will then give you the option to seleect logging in by command access card (CAC), userr name and password, or by personal informationn – social security number, date of birth and last nam me; ■ Download thhe NFAAS mobile app; ■ Provide updated information to your command’s NFAAS rrepresentative and they can update the system for yoou. A misconceptiion is that the only time NFASS is used is duringg hurricanes or during hurricane exercises.

Some recent examples of NFAAS being used include Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Pacific, tornados in the Midwest and recent assessments were conducted in NFAAS for tornados and flooding in Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee, Warren added. When an event occurs – real or exercise – the first action is for the member to muster with their command and account for themselves and their dependents. The command can then enter the information into NFAAS for the member which will prevent overloading NFAAS. During times when the service member is unable to update his NFAAS due to no internet connection or evacuation following a disaster, the service member can contact their command with their family information and his command NFAAS representative has the ability to update the information for him. If a member is unable to reach their command for any reason, they can muster in NFAAS or they can muster by calling the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) Help Desk at (877) 414-5358. Note that during non-emergency events, this is the NPC customer service desk. Each command’s hurricane preparedness and evacuation officer can provide additional information for the service member to take home and share with his family. “Unfortunately one of the most common challenges we have, whether it’s during an exercise or during a real world event, is accurate contact information in NFAAS,” Warren said. “When disaster strikes we want to assist our Navy families as quickly as possible. By ensuring your personal and family information is up to date and having contact numbers for your command, NFAAS and NPC we can make a difficult situation a little better.”

wind scale The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a one to five rating based on a hurricane’s sustained wind speed. This scale estimates potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage. Category 1 and 2 storms are still dangerous, however, and require preventative measures. In the Western North Pacific, the term “super typhoon” is used for tropical cyclones with sustained winds exceeding 150 mph.

74-95 mph 64-82 kt 119-153 km/h Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines or poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.

96-110 mph 83-95 kt 154-177 km/h Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks.

111-129 mph 96-112 kt 178-208 km/h Devastating damage will occur: Well-built framed homes may incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.

130-156 mph 113-136 kt 209-251 km/h Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/ or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks, possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

157+ mph 137+ kt 252+ km/h Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

VIRGINIA BEACH

Sailors assigned to Naval Beach Group (NBG) 2 and Soldiers of the 10th Transportation Battalion are participating in a Joint Logistic Over the Shore (JLOTS) exercise at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story (JEBLC-FS) utilizing the Elevated Causeway System (ELCAS) and surrounding beaches, May 10-14. A media day will be held May 12 to demonstrate this unique capability with multiple Navy and Army landing craft delivering cargo and vehicles to the Elevated Causeway System (ELCAS) and surrounding beaches. â€œIn streamâ€? operations, the transporting of vehicles, equipment, and containers by water craft to a pier head or beach, will be conducted May 10-14. NBG 2 will be operating the Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS), Landing Craft Utility 1600 (LCU 1600) and the Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM-8) craft. While the Armyâ€™s 10th Transportation Battalion will be utilizing their Landing Craft Utility 2000 (LCU 2000), Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM-8), and the Logistic Support Vessel (LSV) in support of this exercise. These operations allow force sustainment of landed forces where port access is unavailable, allowing the theater commanders immense strategic and tactical ďŹ‚exibility. The ELCAS system is a modular pier, which can be built to a length extending up to 3,000 feet and can be assembled where port facilities are damaged or non-existent to provide logistics support to joint forces after an amphibious assault of an enemy beach, or to support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Active and reserve component Seabees from Amphibious Construction Battalions (PHIBCB) 1 and 2 will be constructing 480 feet of ELCAS pier during the training event. Upon completion of â€œInstreamâ€? operations, disassembly of the ELCAS pier and retrograde of the system will take place throughout the month of June.

HONORS

| Burial at Sea ceremony

Continued from front Firing Three Volleys The custom of firing three volleys at funerals comes from an old superstition. It was once thought that evil spirits escape from the hearts of the deceased, so shots are fired to drive away those evil spirits. “The number three has long had a mystical significance,”write Connell and Mack. They note that in Roman funeral rites, earth was cast three times into a grave, mourners called the dead three times by name, and the Latin word vale, meaning “farewell,”was spoken three times as they left the tomb. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) also notes that the firing of three volleys “can be traced to the European dynastic wars when fighting was halted to remove the dead and wounded.” The funeral volley should not be mistaken for the twenty-one gun salute which is fired for the president, other heads of state, Washington’s birthday, and the Fourth of July. At Navy military funerals today, three volleys are fired by a firing detail of seven riflemen during the funeral of active-duty personnel, Medal of Honor recipients, and retirees just before the sounding of taps. Taps The sounding of taps is perhaps one of the most moving and well known elements of military funerals. According to the VA, taps originated from the French final call, “L’Extinction des feux,” to extinguish the lights. This “lights out” bugle call was used by the Army infantry during the Civil War, but in 1862 Gen. Daniel Adams Butterfield suggested a revision of the French tune, and we now have the 24-note bugle call we hear today. Taps was first played at a military funeral in Virginia when Union Capt. John Tidball ordered it to be played as a substitute to the traditional three rifle volleys, so as not to reveal the battery’s position to the nearby enemy. At Navy military funerals today, taps is played by a military bugler after the firing of three volleys and just before the flag is folded. The National Ensign The National Ensign plays a very special role in today’s military funeral traditions. The custom of placing a flag over the body of a fallen Soldier has been recorded in the days before the American Revolution when a private in the British Guards by the name of Stephen Graham wrote that the Union Jack was laid upon the body of a fallen Soldier who died in the service of the State to show that the State “takes the responsibility

of what it ordered him to do as a Solider.” Today, this custom is practiced in American military funerals as a way to honor the service of the deceased veteran. The national ensign is draped over the casket so the union blue field is at the head and over the left shoulder of the deceased. After Taps is sounded, the body bearers fold the flag 13 times – representing the 13 original colonies – into a triangle, emblematic of the tri-cornered hat word by the Patriots of the American Revolution. When folded, only the blue field with stars should be visible. The flag is then presented to the next of kin or other appropriate family member. Burial at Sea Another type of ceremony for honoring the deceased is the burial at sea performed on a Navy vessel. According to the Naval History and Heritage Command, the tradition of burial at sea is one that dates back to ancient times and has been a practice for as long as people have gone to sea. The body was sewn into a weighted sailcloth and in very old custom, the last stitch was taken through the nose of the deceased. The body was then sent over the side, usually with an appropriate religious ceremony. During WWII, many burials at sea took place when naval forces operated at sea for months at a time. Today, active-duty service members, honorably discharged retirees, veterans, U.S. civilian marine personnel of the Military Sealift Command, and dependent family members of active duty, retirees, and veterans are eligible for a burial at sea. The ceremony for burial at sea is conducted in a similar manner to that of shore funerals, with three volleys fired, the sounding of taps, and the closing of colors. The casket or urn is slid overboard into the sea after the committal is read, or, if requested, the cremated remains are scattered into the sea. Flowers or wreaths are also allowed to slide overboard or tossed into the sea by a flag bearer. Because the committal ceremony is performed while a ship is deployed, family members are not permitted to attend burials at sea. So, within 10 days after committal, the commanding officer of the ship will mail a letter giving the date and time of committal and include any photographs or video of the ceremony, the commemorative flag, and a chart showing where the burial took place. For many centuries, funerals have been a way to give our final respects to our loved ones. The customs and traditions that we share during the ceremony make it all the more meaningful.

WWII VET Continued from front form diving medical officer related assignments. While waiting for his connecting flight from Baltimore International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport, Ferguson, who is responsible for training independent duty corpsman to support underwater construction teams, learned that his routine flight would include some very special guests. “While waiting at the gate for my flight I learned that my flight was an Honor Flight,” Ferguson said, who added that 20 WWII veterans were traveling from Washington to Los Angeles and were flying on his connection flight out of Baltimore. According to Honor Flight’s website, the Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. The Network transports our heroes to Washington to visit and re-

Ferguson was fortunate enough to sit beside one of the veterans, which gave the WWII veteran and Ferguson a chance to share stories. About three hours into the flight, one of the 20 veterans was experiencing chest pain. “The cabin crew asked if there were any physicians on board that could assist,” Ferguson recalled, who added the group was traveling with a designated nurse. Another physician was on board the flight, an Air Force captain assigned to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. “I took the lead to assist the veteran, who fortunately had already taken his sublingual nitroglycerin tablets and was receiving oxygen,”

Vissoh studied for the next 30 days before taking the exams. “I worked and came home and studied,” Vissoh said. “I really didn’t have much time for social events or even family time. On weekends, I studied all day. On Sunday, for example, I would go to church in the morning and then go right to the library and study all day.” Vissoh’s hard work and

dedication paid off as he passed all seven exams. He attained a certiﬁcation that very few have in the Navy. “The entire staff at Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy is truly impressed with Vissoh’s accomplishments,” MAMA lead instructor Ed Horton said. “He passed all seven exams for the 3rd Mate certiﬁcation. There are several maritime academies located around the U.S. and those students have four years to take their classes, study and prepare for their exams. Vissoh did everything in one and a half years, at night. This

Ferguson said. While no lifesaving measures were performed on the flight, it was comforting to all to not have one, but two physicians and a nurse on board who could render medical assistance, Ferguson added. Even though this was Ferguson’s seventh time rendering medical aid on a flight, he said he was humbled by the experience and thankful he was in the right place at the right time. “I consider myself lucky that I have only had to deal with one on my own without any other form of medical support,” Ferguson said. “It is always good to have someone else with medical knowledge to bounce ideas off of.” When not rendering medical assistance on flights, Ferguson performs a key role in overseeing the training of independent duty corpsmen assigned to UCT 1, located at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story and UCT 2.

Nothing is easy – only with dedication and will power will you accomplish your goals. You can do it!” Vissoh has always enjoyed being on the high seas. By earning this certification, he has not only insured that he will be able to provide for his family for years to come, but also work in a field that he loves.

NECC’s N6 hosts expeditionary communications capabilities demonstration at DSCA STAFFEX By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs

VIRGINIA BEACH

Navy Expeditionary Combat Command’s (NECC) N6 Department showcased their cutting-edge technology during a communications capabilities demonstration on the final day of the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) staff exercise (STAFFEX) on board Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, May 6. The STAFFEX training was held in a Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Enterprise Tactical Command Control (NETC2) tent configuration, which is a tactical command control system incorporating laptops, monitors and radio communications in a scalable design that improves command and control capabilities for forces operating in the expeditionary environment. NECC Force Communication officer Lt. Cmdr. Tim Carmon discussed the unique capabilities of the NETC2 system, which is NECC’s main command and control system. “This system allows commanders to conduct mission sets that our expeditionary forces are engaged in that can vary from the austere environments with limited resources or outside support,” Carmon said. “We were able to show the informational warfare stakeholders that we could conduct diversified missions such as direct combat operations, timely exchange of information with partner nations, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.” A variety of stakeholders from Norfolk-based commands were invited to the capabilities demonstration

hosted by NECC, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group (EODGRU) 2 and Coastal Riverine Group (CRG) 2. “This was a great opportunity to showcase to Norfolk-based commands all the great work that the expeditionary side of the Navy is doing every day,” Carmon said. “Members of the information warfare community don’t get many opportunities to see first-hand the cutting edge technology that the expeditionary community has to offer.” NECC’s N6 Capt. Mark Guzzo reflected on the diverse geographical operating environments expeditionary Sailors are deployed to and the need to leverage all types of communication to meet the variety of mission sets. “Our forces communicate in diverse geographical operating environments, which include everything from small boats to operating small unmanned aircraft systems,” Guzzo said. “The man-portable communications offers an opportunity for expeditionary Sailors to leverage all types of communication to meet the mission.” Guzzo added, the capabilities demonstrated also served to educate civilians and military members who are now interested in joining our expeditionary communications team. NECC is an enduring warfighting force providing sea-to-shore and inland operating environment capabilities across the full range of military operations that is focused on delivering combat effective expeditionary forces ready for worldwide operations now and into the future.

It was not due to collective superstition, but their clinical sense of duty, that Navy Nurse Corps members held their 108th anniversary a day earlier on May 12 at Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB). The birthday celebration culminated a week-long recognition of events representing Navy Nurse Corps’ contributions as

SOUTH CHINA SEA

Sailors from USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 marked a milestone May 5 with the deployment’s ﬁve-thousandth arrested landing, or trap. Stennis and CVW-9 have worked hard together through a rigorous workup cycle and put their lessons learned into practice on this deployment. “Five thousand traps is a huge accomplishment,” acting aircraft handling ofﬁcer Lt. Chris Jones said. “It’s a testament to the hard work

of the men and women on the flight deck putting in long hours day in and day out in the heat.” Lt. Shane Brady, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 151, piloted the F/A-18E Super Hornet that completed the five-thousandth arrested landing. “It was a series of fortunate events,” Brady said. “I didn’t even know I had made it until the maintenance guys told me the [commanding officer] had announced it.” Air Department’s leading chief petty officer Master Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Jack Hudson said, the trap reflected the hard work put

into ensuring the safe launch and recovery of aircraft. “The crew has worked their butts off this deployment,” Hudson said. “They don’t have time to take a break ... they’re highly energized and love what they do. It’s truly amazing.” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) Airman Andres Cardenas took pride knowing he helped retract the arresting gear during the ﬁve-thousandth trap. “It is an honor knowing I helped to catch the ﬁve-thousandth trap,” Cardenas said. “I do it out of love, sweat and tears, and it feels great. I’m happy to be a part of it.”

Graduation: Getting lost on memory lane By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Contributor

Believe it or not, hoarding comes in pretty handy around high school graduation time. Over the years, my family has been concerned about my propensity to save everything from hospital bracelets to matchbooks. But, I’ve always felt compelled to squirrel things away, like my old Holly Hobby sewing machine, our daughters’ confirmation dresses, my son’s sock puppet, and the collar from our long dead cat Zuzu. When my son Hayden graduated two years ago, I sent 36 t-shirts I’d been saving since he was a baby – from Montessori preschool to tae kwan do to boy scouts to football to band – to a quilter to make him a one-of-a-kind bedspread for his dorm room that would memorialize his particular childhood experiences. The quilt was such a meaningful graduation gift, I’ve been vindicated. Turns out, my hoarding actually had a purpose after all. With our second child, Anna, about to graduate, I recently went down to our basement to find the t-shirts I’d saved for her quilt. However, what should’ve taken ten minutes, took an entire afternoon and a half box of tissues. The first tub I opened was full of baby items that I hadn’t seen in years. There, in the musty fluorescent corner of our basement, I got lost in memories. I caressed the soft flannel receiving blankets, remembering that she was born while we were stationed in England, in a village hospital by an Irish midwife. Pastel afghans, a tiny gingham

dress and Anna’s baptismal cloth took me further away. The layers were like the rings of a tree. In between were lumps – a special rattle, a tattered pink doll, and a string of wooden beads. My eyes lost focus as I recalled Anna as a sleepy toddler, stroking the beads, over and over. The next box was full of old toys. I saw the plastic yellow baton, gripped by Anna’s perpetually sticky fingers, relentlessly beating the chubby Fisher Price xylophone. The pink and purple play purse put me in our old house in Virginia, where Anna would strut around with the purse over one arm, stopping to apply the fake lipstick and pose precociously before a mirror. Pink and yellow plates, cups and pots looked exactly like they did when Anna served up smorgasbords of plastic toy pizza slices, hamburgers, peas, bananas, cupcakes and cheese wedges. “Mmmmm,” I would say, smacking my lips loudly and pretending to chew in hopes of eliciting her brightly dimpled smile. The doll at the bottom, still stained with an ink scribble in the middle of her forehead, looked serenely relieved to have retired to a cardboard box. Her life with Anna had not been easy. With the doll slumped in an umbrella stroller, Anna would push her around our cul-de-sac, sometimes hitting a crack that would catapult the poor doll head-first into the pavement. A quick kiss on the scuffed head, and Anna was off again. A file box contained artwork, crafts, and primitive pottery – ancient relics with cracking macaroni

and yellowing glue. The items, ironically, gave no indication that Anna would eventually develop a talent for art and design. Small spiral notebooks were scribbled with Anna’s endless ideas, garment sketches, and redecorating plans. “How to make money this summer: Sell my old Barbies; Make lemonade; …” one page read. “Rules for Secret Club House,” another read. It’s an incredible privilege to watch a human being grow, I thought. Cradling a helpless budding newborn in my arms, I could never predict the distinctive person that would take 18 years to bloom before my very own eyes. Through the dusty basement air, I ﬁnally found the box of T-shirts, and the wonder of our exceptional daughter came into focus. Bossy, stubborn, controlling and pensive. Intelligent, driven, hilarious and creative. With big brown eyes, a sparkling smile, and an uncommon dimpled chin. Determined to become

a successful fashion designer. As I trudged sniffling up our basement stairs, I realized that I didn’t keep all those boxed basement relics for my kids, I kept them so I wouldn’t forget. Regardless, high school graduation, the monumental milestone that heralds adulthood and independent life, has a way of making the last 18 years unforgettable. Even if we don’t create quilts or shadow boxes or scrapbooks memorializing our child’s life, graduation has a way of melding past and present together into one great epiphanic flash, imprinting the incredible image of our children’s evolution in our minds … forever.

PERSONAL PROTECTION AGAINST MOSQUITOES ■ photos above A mosquito clings to the wall of an incubation jar as the larva swim below; they were collected as part of the mosquito surveillance program at Fort Bliss, Texas, to prevent the spread of West Nile virus, Oct. 10, 2012.

It's that time again for mosquitoes, so here's some helpful information on what you can do to help protect yourself and your loved ones. Mosquito bites can cause skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito's saliva – this is what causes the red bump and itching. A more serious consequence

Chris Vordahl gets a bearing on the guided-missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54), top left, the dry cargo ship USNS Carl Brashear and the guided-missile destroyer USS Decatur (DDG 73) through an alidade aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Momsen (DDG 92) during a replenishment-at-sea.

of mosquito bites can be the transmission of viruses and diseases. Something to keep in mind is mosquitoes can also transmit parasites and diseases to our pets. Ensuring the protection of all of your family members is important. All mosquitoes require water to breed. Breeding environments can include ponds, ditches, old tires, litter, buckets, toys, potted plant trays, saucers, plastic covers, tarpaulins, and even bottle caps. Eliminating standing water sources is a tremendous help in reducing the mosquito population. Here are a few ways to stay protected from exposure to mosquito bites: ■ When possible, stay inside or in screened-in areas when mosquitoes are active. Most mosquitoes tend to be more active around sunrise, sunset, and early evening. ■ Cover up. Put on long sleeve shirts, long pants, socks, and closed-toe shoes to protect against bites. ■ Plug in a fan. This will help you keep cool and keep mosquitoes from landing on you. Mosquitoes are not very efﬁcient ﬂyers, even in wind speeds as low as 5 mph. ■ Use an outdoor yellow bug light. Use them on your porch and around your house. Standard lighting will attract mosquitoes, while yellow bug lights are almost invisible to most insects. Insects typically see blue or UV light as really bright, while yellows and reds are in a spectrum less visible, if at all. ■ Use repellent. Repellents containing Picaradin, DEET, IR3535, or some products containing oil of lemon-eucalyptus have been shown to be effective in repelling mosquitoes when used as directed. Note: oil of lemoneucalyptus should not be used on children under the age of three. ■ Eliminate standing water especially around your home. A teaspoon of water is enough to lay eggs and complete a mosquito life cycle. Correcting drainage problems and avoiding overwatering lawns can also help. Some mosquitoes will lay their eggs in

moist soil and as soon as water pools the eggs will hatch. The unnatural water pooled around homes make a great habitat for mosquitoes. Vector disease-carrying mosquitoes like the Asian Tiger Mosquito, Aedes albopictus, love to breed in these types of habitats – especially where moist soil or containers are located. Their flight range is about 300 feet from where they are bred. They are more noticeable than other mosquitoes because they can be active in the daytime if disturbed and have a characteristic white strip down their back. With emerging mosquitoborne diseases, removing breeding sites and following proper guidance is critical. If a female mosquito is infected with a disease she can pass it on to her eggs, and thus the next generation is infected with the disease without ever having to receive their first blood meal. Therefore, eliminating breeding sites is imperative to assist in the reduction of the mosquito population and risk of contracting a mosquitoborne illness. As a proactive measure, U.S. Naval Hospital Naples Preventive Medicine Department frequently monitors the mosquito population on the Support Site. When the number of mosquitoes is found above baseline levels, mosquito treatments are focused at those areas. Regarding pets, owners should follow the first line of defense guidelines provided by veterinary services to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy. Use petspecific repellents that are active against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and sand flies to keep your pet safe from insect-borne illness. Help prevent mosquito-borne diseases; take action to personally protect yourself, your family and your pets. Do your part in eliminating water around your home where mosquitoes can breed. If you see areas of standing water such as potholes or areas of poor drainage, report them to the Public Works Department. Public Works will take the necessary measures to resolve the issue. Identifying problems helps keep our community safe.

NRL invokes cost effective approach to improve Joint ISR missions By Daniel Parry U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have teamed with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. to integrate maritime mode inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging capability with GAASI’s Lynx Multi-Mode Radar for improved intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. ISR communities around the world are exploring ways in which different services can collaborate

on naval missions. These communities envision unmanned aerial systems capable of supporting joint warﬁghter missions over land, littoral and blue water regions. “Because ships and small watercraft at sea are usually in motion – having both forward velocity and other linear and angular motions, for example, pitch and roll and heave and sway – this creates a problem for typical ISAR platforms,” NRL Radar Analysis Branch Head Thomas Pizzillo said. “The addition of a maritime-ISAR mode to the General Atomics Lynx

radar, as a software-only upgrade, is the most cost effective alternative to introduce this capability to the MQ-9 ﬂeet.” Synthetic aperture radar, is a radar imaging method using multiple pulses transmitted from a moving platform. The received signals are combined to form a high quality two-dimensional image of the ground-terrain of interest. Classical SAR algorithms assume the target scene, or background, is stationary and any motion in the scene shows up as a smear or streak in the image. ISAR algorithms

assume the target itself is moving, and through a set of complex algorithms, calculates enhanced angular or cross-range resolution by analyzing subtle differences in range-rates caused by the target motion. The net effect is to focus the image of a moving target without smearing. “Often with unknown velocities, both linear and angular, it is a much more difﬁcult problem, because the motions are not known as in typical ISAR,” Pizzillo said. “NRL has successfully adapted the necessary changes to ISAR image formation

in which the rotational motion of the target is not known beforehand. This provides the end-user with an imaging software tool that can produce high-quality imagery in conditions with signiﬁcantly complex target motion.” The NRL radar group is one of the world’s leading experts on naval radar and offers unique expertise in the development and deployment of ISAR algorithms; signal and data processing techniques associated with ISAR; and validation of ISAR performance in a large spectrum of naval environments.

Naval War College reenacts Jutland war-game By Daniel L. Kuester U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I.

A U.S. Naval War College (NWC) wargame based on a real WWI battle that had been studied intensely by WWII military leaders, such as Fleet Admirals Chester W. Nimitz, Ernest J. King and William F. Halsey, was reenacted at the school, May 10. The game employed the same methods and technology used a century ago to understand the maritime strategy and tactics in the 1916 WWI maritime encounter known as the Battle of Jutland. The Battle of Jutland was fought between Great Britain and Germany off the coast of Denmark and was the largest maritime engagement of WWI. The encounter was studied closely during the time between the two world wars at NWC and was the basis for much of the naval strategy used in WWII. “The idea here was to put together a memorial event that would commemorate the centenary of Jutland, but at the same time highlight what that battle meant to the Naval War College and our education efforts,” NWC President Rear Adm. P. Gardner Howe III said. “It created an experience that tied us to our past, while getting us to think about our future. It exceeded my expectations.” Reenacting the Battle of Jutland was a valuable learning tool for the officers who would fight WWII. “The lessons that were derived from the Battle of Jutland after the first world war, were the lessons that were important to understanding the personalities and strategic perspectives of the five-star admirals who won the second world war,” an instructor at the College of Operational and Strategic Leadership and Deputy of the NWC Maritime History Department, who helped arranged the reenactment, Dave Kohnen said. This reenactment pitted Howe, portraying the commodore of the German fleet, against Director of Naval History and Heritage Command retired Rear Adm. Samuel Cox, who led the reenactment of the British forces. The reenactment employed war-game techniques from that time to include staging the game on a large floor space and physically maneuvering game pieces representing ships. All movement calculations were com-

The conclusions drawn from analyses of Jutland and World War I helped shape the U.S. Navy’s warships, tactics and doctrine in the years leading up to World War II, including War Plan Orange, the Navy’s blueprint for a Paciﬁc War against Imperial Japan.”

pleted using period technology. Cox said, Jutland was a vital part of training the leaders of WWII. “Although the United States Navy was not involved in the battle, students and staff at the Naval War College spent a great deal of time after World War I analyzing Jutland, often using war-games,” Cox said. “The conclusions drawn from analyses of Jutland and World War I helped shape the U.S. Navy’s warships, tactics and doctrine in the years leading up to World War II, including War Plan Orange, the Navy’s blueprint for a Paciﬁc war against Imperial Japan.” The winner of the original Battle of Jutland has been disputed as both Great Britain and Germany claimed victory. With the beneﬁt of a historical perspective, Kohnen said that one of the winners of the Battle of Jutland wasn’t even involved in the encounter. “I would argue that the United States Navy won the Battle of Jutland, even though they weren’t there,” he said. “Because during the 1920s and the 1930s they studied the battle, and other battles, in such detail that they were able to glean strategic, operational and tactical lessons that they were able to apply in the second world war.” According to NWC Joint Military Operations Department for the College of Dis-

tance Education Professor Angus Ross, this battle heralded the new industrial age where victory is determined by economic domination, as well as victory on the seas. “Times had moved on. The Navy was formerly the prime instrument of [winning battles] for Great Britain,” Ross said. “But the means of winning and the method of winning were very different. You couldn’t just defeat a ﬂeet of battleships at sea and ensure that victory was achieved. It was one of those battles that was inevitable but at the same time totally regrettable.” Recreating the Jutland war game required some digging and good luck to ﬁnd out how the original game was played by students almost a century ago. While looking for information on the original war game, NWC Archivist Dara

online Video of the reenactment will be posted on the college’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ navalwarcollege on May 31 – the 100-year centenary of the Battle of Jutland.`

Baker happened on a historic ﬁnd in the archives. “The reenactment all started with the idea of putting together an exhibition to acknowledge it has been 100 years since the Battle of Jutland,” Baker said. “To do that, my staff and I started looking through all of the material we have in our collection on the battle. When we were looking, I found this box titled ‘War Game Outﬁt,’ and I was like, ‘Huh, I wonder what that is.’ I pulled the box out and opened it up and there were all these pieces. It was just fantastic.” Baker had discovered that the archives’ collection contained much of the original game from almost a century ago. “We unpacked the whole thing and realized we had all the [game] pieces created in the 1930s for the Jutland game,” Baker added. “By knowing what the pieces looked like, it allowed us to recreate those and actually put on this event.” The game pieces used for the reenactment were recreated for the event and modeled after the older pieces from the archives. The archives staff also uncovered the instructions used for the original game. The instructions were used to develop the reenactment instructions.

U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, U.S. 6th Fleet (CNE-CNA-C6F), recognized a key milestone to complete Phase II of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) by deeming the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System in Romania as operationally certiﬁed in a ceremony held in Deveselu, May 12. “As we cut the ribbon, the watchteams are trained and ready, the system has been tested, and we are now in the progress of integrating this site into the NATO integrated air and missile defense architecture.” Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Adm. Mark Ferguson said. This ballistic missile defense (BMD) system represents a signiﬁcant increase in the capability to defend NATO European territory from attacks originating outside the Euro-Atlantic area, and is a key milestone in the development of NATO ballistic missile defense. “Today, this site joins the four U.S. guided missile destroyers in Rota, Spain in reaching Phase II of the European Phased Adaptive Approach.” Ferguson said.

On Sept. 17, 2009, President Obama announced the concept of EPAA, which calls for using Aegis-based BMD capabilities, both afloat and ashore, to defend Europe against ballistic missile threats originating from outside the EuroAtlantic Area. The site first broke ground Oct. 28, 2013. At a ceremony held Dec. 18, 2015 – hosted by the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – U.S. and Romanian government officials announced the major military components of the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System in Romania were complete and had been transferred to the commander of U.S. 6th Fleet. Since that time the AAMDSRomania site and U.S. Navy crew achieved operational certification through a series of unit-level and theater-level tests and exercises conducted over the past five months, which validated the system’s capability to integrate into the U.S. and NATO BMD architecture. Construction of a second Aegis Ashore site in Poland is part of the final phase of EPAA. The ground breaking is scheduled for May 13.

Displays include personal aviation survival equipment and Navy divers and EOD technicians and equipment. “Being involved in Navy Week is important for the American people who may not live on the coast to have an opportunity to interact with their naval forces,” EODGRU 2 public affairs ofﬁcer Lt. Liza Dougherty said. “We are excited to participate in Navy Weeks across the country and encourage people to ask us questions and get involved. People can try on bomb suits, diving helmets, or even drive a robot.” Roanoke Navy Week will continue with a memorial ceremony at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, May 18. Participants and veterans are welcome to attend the ceremony and can receive a brief tour of the memorial site following the event. On May 19, several Navy assets including the EOD group, Navy Band, and Sailors from USS John Warner (SSN 785) and Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 2 will be at the Center in the Square for a day of community outreach. The band will play while Sailors interact with students from local schools. Navy Night will be hosted by the Salem Red Sox, May 20. As they enter the stadium, fans can view various displays of Navy equipment and interact with Sailors while they listen to the Fleet Forces Band. Sailors from Navy Recruiting District Roanoke will

throw the ceremonial ﬁrst pitch and the Navy Parachute Team, the Leap Frogs, will jump into the stadium prior to the baseball game. “We are very excited to be working with the Navy,” Marketing and Promotions Manager for the Salem Red Sox Samantha Barney said. “The Leap Frogs parachuting into the stadium will be a must-see for the 2016 season. Apart from that, there will be numerous Navy vehicles here and Sailors in attendance for fans to interact with along with many other attractions.” Another highlight of Roanoke Navy Week will be the Lynchburg Regional Airshow, featuring the Leap Frogs and U.S. Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, which will be held at the Lynchburg airport, May 21-22. Sailors will also attend the Local Colors Festival at Elmwood Park in Roanoke, May 21, and the Navy Band will play a musical tour of the world. The Local Colors Festival is a multicultural festival that will focus on Colombia this year and is free to the public. Roanoke Navy Week is the ﬁfth of 15 Navy Weeks in 2016 that focus a variety of assets, equipment, and personnel on a single city for a week-long series of engagements designed to bring America’s Navy closer to the people it protects.

MSC SHIPS REPLENISH AT SEA By Grady T. Fontana Military Sealift Command Far East Public Affairs

USNS JOHN ERICSSON

Military Sealift Command (MSC) ﬂeet replenishment oiler USNS John Ericsson (T-AO 194) delivered fuel and cargo to a second MSC ship, fast combat ship USNS Rainier (T-AOE 7), during a replenishment-at-sea (RAS), May 8. The two ships steered side by side while the Ericsson transferred cargo, 1.3 million gallons of diesel fuel and about 900,000 gallons of jet fuel. During a RAS, the delivery ship takes tactical control of the receiving ship. The receiving ship pulls up from behind the delivery ship and positions herself abreast and about 200 feet away from the delivery ship.

When the ships are side by side, one of the ships will shoot a shot line to the other in order to send a messenger and span wire across to the other vessel. Once the span wire is connected, the process of deploying the fuel hoses is set in motion. MSC conducts hundreds of RAS operations a year, sup-

porting the U.S. Navy and partner nations. Despite vast experience in RAS operations, the procedure is inherently dangerous. “It gets very tricky when you start putting two large ships of 200, 250, 300 plus meters alongside each other about 50 meters apart,” Ericsson’s civil service Master Capt. Anthony Boudouin said. “There’s an enormous amount of dynamics in play.” Catastrophes can happen at a blink of an eye if the ships aren’t synchronized. “If you don’t get control of it right away, you will lose it,” Boudouin said. During these types of emergencies, MSC has evasive measures in place. Given any indication of failure, the ships are taught to conduct immediate action and the able ship would veer out of the formation. “The biggest concern is if one of the ships loses steering,” Ericsson’s Chief Cargo Mate Eric J. Bardot said. “What you want to avoid is having the ships collide.” In the event one ship loses steering, the other vessel conducts an emergency breakaway and all the hoses and lines go with whichever ship peels away, according to Bardot. During the four-hour RAS, the procedure was conducted by the Ericsson crew with precision and USNS Rainier departed with fuel and cargo as scheduled.

2015 Sailors of the Year advanced to chief petty ofﬁcer By MCSN Kaylyn Jackson-Smith Defense Media Activity

WASHINGTON

The Navy’s 2016 Sailors of the Year (SOY) were meritoriously advanced to chief petty officer during a ceremony held at the Navy Memorial, May 12. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson served as guest speaker during the pinning ceremony hosted by Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens. The four Sailors of the Year honored at the ceremony are: Equipment Operator 1st Class Steven W. Betterhof, representing U.S. Navy Reserve; Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 1st Class Tinisha Franklin, representing U.S. Fleet Forces; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jessica Wentlent, representing U.S. Navy Shore; and Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Corey Smith, representing U.S. Pacific Fleet. Richardson began by congratulating

and thanking the SOYs for their hard work and dedication that paved the way to their success. “You became Sailors of the Year in your commands, I am sure, because you had an inﬂuence that transcended your division, transcended your work centers and manifested itself throughout the commands and now you are here because that same commitment, that leadership, really has an affect across the entire Navy by virtue of man,” Richardson said. “I think that it’s inspirational for us to be here in so many ways, we can draw strength from your commitment and from your accomplishments.” Throughout their week-long visit to Washington, the Sailors of the Year and their families toured historic sites and enjoyed special events held in their honor. Richardson took a moment to remind the SOYs to be grateful for their families. “One thing I think we all have and share in common is that we know that we don’t do this alone, we are supported through-

out not only by our shipmates, but also by our families and I know that each one of these Sailors of the Year is no different in that regard and strongly supported for by their families,” Richardson said. Before the SOYs had their anchors pinned to their collars and combination covers placed on their heads, Richardson read their letter of appointment. “Your appointment carries with it the obligation that you exercise increased authority and willingness to accept greater responsibility. Your every action must be governed by a strong sense of personal moral responsibility and leadership,” Richardson said. The Sailor of the Year program was established in 1972 by the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt and Master Chief Petty Ofﬁcer of the Navy John Whittet to recognize an individual Sailor who best represented the evergrowing group of dedicated professional Sailors at each command and ultimately the Navy.

The Navy accepted delivery of the future USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) during a ceremony at the Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) shipyard, May 13. The delivery of John P. Murtha serves as the official transfer of the ship from the shipbuilder to the Navy and is a major milestone in the ship’s transition to operational status. “This is the tenth San Antonio-class ship we’ve delivered, and our Sailors and Marine Corps will be receiving another highly capable platform in John P. Murtha,” San Antonio-class program manager Capt. Darren Plath said. “This ship has performed exceedingly well to date, which is a testament to our Navy and industry team and the production efficiencies realized on this class.” Following crew move aboard and certification, the ship will transit to Philadelphia for commissioning, planned for fall 2016. Upon commissioning, the ship will transit to her home port of San Diego. The principal mission of San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ships is to transport and deploy the necessary combat and support elements of Marine Corps expeditionary units and brigades. The ship will carry 699 troops – with a surge capacity to 800 – and have the capability to transport and debark landing craft air cushion or conventional landing craft and amphibious vehicles, augmented by helicopters or vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. These ships will support amphibious assault, special operations and expeditionary warfare missions through the first half of the 21st century. HII is currently in production on the future USS Portland (LPD 27) and was awarded a contract in December 2015 for long lead time material to support detail design and construction of the future LPD 28.

BIG DATA, 3D PRINTING AND ROBOTS Marine Corps commandant touts ONR S&T By David Smalley OfďŹ ce of Naval Research

ARLINGTON, VA.

Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller recently visited the OfďŹ ce of Naval Research (ONR) to get a close-up look at some of the latest technologies being developed for the Marine Corps, from autonomous systems to virtual reality training devices, ofďŹ cials announced May 10. During his visit, Neller met with Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Mat Winter, as well as department heads and program ofďŹ cers, and expressed his appreciation for the science and technology being designed for the future force. "The Marine Corps and the OfďŹ ce of Naval Research have a long, great history of working together to improve the operational capability of our force, and make sure that on any battleďŹ eld, we're going to come out on top," Neller said. Before going into brieďŹ ngs, the com-

mandant reviewed some of the research and technologies being advanced at ONR, designed to ensure technological dominance for the Marines of today and tomorrow. Some of those programs included swarming unmanned air vehicles, mobile laser weapons and virtual reality training technologies. "From a warďŹ ghter's perspective, our ONR mission is quite simply to ensure our Marines and Sailors have the technological advantage in every engagement," Winter said after the meeting. "We are dedicated to making sure our men and women on the front lines have the unmatched technological edge over any adversary." Neller reďŹ‚ected on some of the technological capabilities that will be vital to the Marine Corps of the future. That includes better management of big data â€“ that is, the massive inďŹ‚ux of information available to today's warďŹ ghters through shipboard sensors, remote satellites, unmanned vehicles, intelligence collection and other data sources. "The ability to access big data through

our autonomous intelligence will be of paramount importance,â€? Neller said. ONR is currently working on a number of programs on the big data front that could be of great importance for future Marine Corps operational requirements. The data-focused Naval Tactical Cloud, for instance, will integrate large volumes of incoming data from multiple sources; provide aďŹ‚oat intelligence analysis capabilities for Navy and Marine Corps intelligence teams; and provide tactical intelligence support for expeditionary warfare planning and execution, among other uses. Other priorities highlighted by the commandant include new capabilities in threedimensional printing â€“ everything from manufacturing difďŹ cult-to-ďŹ nd replacement parts for weapons or vehicles, all the way up to creating shelter for Marines in theater, rather than having to ďŹ nd and secure existing facilities. The possibilities for 3D printing that ONR is looking into could also serve to lighten the load for the individual

Marine, as well as Marine Corps platforms, a longstanding priority for ONR and the Marine Corps. Robotic devices and unmanned systems, Neller said, could perform duties that will help reduce risk for Marines on land, at sea, or in the air. Ultimately, he suggested, it will be the front-line users who will best determine what works for the Marines, and what doesn't. "We have an active-duty Marine Corps unit where we're going to give these Marines some of these capabilities â€“ like small unmanned air systems with cameras and sensors, certain communications capabilities, certain mobility capabilities â€“ and let them go out and tell us if they have utility or not, give them operational advantage or create a logistical burden," Neller said. Any new technologies will need to be reliable and mobile, Neller emphasized. "At the end of the day, they've got to be able to be put on a ship, come off a ship, and go ashore."

NURSE CORPS

Birthday coincides with National Nurses Week Continued from B1 Medicine. They are a culture of excellence. The Navy Nurse Corps shines throughout the world and makes the Navy and Navy Medicine great,” Naval Hospital Bremerton Commanding Officer Capt. David Weiss said. Quality Management Department head Cmdr. Annie Case, who is also the acting executive officer, shared her experience as part of the Navy Nurse Corps, noting that when she began as an ensign, little did she realize back then that her career would lead to where she is today. “I never thought that I would be where I am today and becoming a Navy captain in two months,” Case said, who was also NHB’s perioperative (main operating room) department head. In that role, Case was instrumental, along with other main operating room nurses, in having NHB recognized by the Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI) with the 2015 honorable mention distinction for the True North Award, which acknowledges medical facilities like NHB – whose True North principles guide their nursing staff to be lifelong learners, models of competent practice and advocates for excellence. There are approximately 115 nurses at NHB, out of the Navy’s active and reserve Nurse Corps components of the 4,200 members currently serving. NHB nurses continue to play pivotal roles in providing quality health care at home and abroad. NHB Nurse Corps staff members are currently embarked on hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) participating in Pacific Partnership 2016, as well as deployed down range in Afghanistan. NHB director for nursing services Capt. Amy McBride read birthday greetings from Rear Adm. R.J. McCormick-Boyle, sharing, “As we gather to celebrate our Navy Nurse Corps 108th anniversary I thank each of you, our active-duty, reserve component, federal civilian and contract nurses for your tireless commitment to Sailors, Marines, Soldiers, Airman, Coast Guardsmen, families and all others we are so privileged to serve.” “Navy nurses are fully committed to keep the Navy and Marine Corps family healthy, ready and on the job and exemplify the guiding principles of integrity, accountability, initiative and toughness daily,” McCormick-Boyle wrote. Lt. Lauryn Kramer was singled out amongst her peers as the recipient of the Junior Nurse Corps Excellence award. The Navy Nurse Corps birthday also coincides during National Nurses week, celebrated annually May 6 to May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the founder of modern nursing. The National Nurse week for NHB’s Nurse Corps began May 7, with the third Annual Nurse Corps Aloha Moani 5K Fun Run. The run is held annually in memory of NHB labor and delivery nurse Lt. Rebekah Moani Daniel and to celebrate her life as a team with her family and friends. Various Nurse Corps members also took part in a speed mentoring forum that gave interested service members the opportunity to meet with them in an informal setting and discuss professional pathways, network and possibly find a potential mentor in applying for the corps. The nurses shared on their diverse experiences, backgrounds and explained specific specialties such as family nurse practitioners, executive medicine, nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse specialists, perioperative nursing, maternal child nursing, ambulatory, medical surgical, emergency, critical care nurses, pediatric and flight nursing, as well as deployment experiences. One hundred eight years ago, NHB was a 16 bed wooden two-story frame building for sick quarters on Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. America’s involvement in WWI was still a few years away. In those times and in those conditions, such as now, the Navy Nurse Corps continues to provide compassion, care and concern in all they do, and all they serve.

Washington Nationals host Sailors during annual Navy Day By MC1 Pedro A. Rodriguez NDW Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Sailors were honored and recognized for their service and dedication to the nation at a Major League Baseball game during Navy Day at the Washington Nationals ballpark, May 10. The pregame ceremonies included the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson administering the oath of enlistment to 50 new recruits from Navy Recruiting District Richmond.

When Sailors come to work tired, with a fever, sneezing, coughing or otherwise visibly miserable, it’s likely a shipmate will catch on to the fact they’re ill and suggest a trip to medical. But how often have we heard someone being told to “suck it up” when it comes to dealing with stress at work or home, instead of getting professional help to sort out the root of the problem? We embrace medical care for physical ailments, but often reject help in the face of equally debilitating mental ailments. “We seem to stigmatize people getting help for mental health issues, but we have zero concern for someone who goes to see the doctor because they have the ﬂu,” Joint Region Marianas Force Navy Chaplain Cmdr. Timothy Moore said. “We need to reverse our thinking, because people do have emotional and mental challenges from time to time.” This stigma has been identiﬁed as a major barrier for people seeking mental health

In addition, the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard drill team delivered a demonstration as part of the pregame ceremonies. More than 200 Sailors manned the base lines and Musician 1st Class Michael Webb sang the national anthem. “We’re pretty lucky to be here and this is a great experience,” Wentlent said. “It feels pretty amazing to be here on the ﬁeld and to meet all the different people. This is something I can take back and talk about it for years to come.” The game ended with the Detroit Tigers beating the Washington Nationals with a ﬁnal score of 5-4.

Navy wounded warrior athletes brought home more gold for the U.S. team as the Invictus Games came to a close in Orlando, Florida, May 12. All Navy athletes who competed in the Invictus Games also are enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior-Safe Harbor – the Navy’s sole organization for coordinating the non-medical care of seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen – and providing resources and support to their families. “I’m super excited because I made so much progress with the program,” retired Navy Electrician’s Mate 3rd Class Michael Roggio said, who swam in the ﬁnals of the 100-meter freestyle. “When I ﬁrst started, I couldn’t even push off the wall or anything and now I’m competing in the hardest classes.” Roggio was one of approximately 500 military competitors from 14 na-

first pitch, the 2015 Sailors of the Year were recognized and Commandant of Naval District Washington Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey delivered the game’s baseball to the pitcher’s mound. “I am very honored to be here. There are so many people that have really influenced the Navy,” Shore Sailor of the Year Chief (select) Hospital Corpsman Jessica Wentlent said. “We just met the last Sailor alive from the first class of the basic underwater demolition/SEAL training, the CNO – and to know that they’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, the same way we’re honored by them leading our Navy and what they’re doing, is pretty amazing.”

care, so as we observe mental health month in May, contribute to the conversation. Learn about potential signs of mental illness, don’t take part in reinforcing the stigma and learn to watch out for your shipmates. This issue affects a lot of us. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), only 17 percent of the adult population in the U.S. is in optimal mental health condition. Mental Health America, the organization leading mental health month for more than 40 years, states one in ﬁve American adults will have a diagnosable mental health condition in any given year and 50 percent of American adults will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition sometime in their lifetime. It’s no secret there are plenty of things that cause stress to service members as they balance obligations to the country and obligations to family. Although a little stress can help Sailors become more resilient when put in stressful situations later, it’s something that needs to be properly managed. Many of the same factors that play into mission readiness when it comes to physical health – such as a proper diet, regular exercise and enough sleep – apply to mental

health as well. Just like with physical health, denying yourself these things can cause health problems. When these preventative measures aren’t enough, people start displaying signs of stress. “Things that are normally not that big of a deal seem like a much bigger deal because we are emotionally challenged at the time,” Moore said. “Things that normally wouldn’t tick someone off seem to do so. When we start recognizing some of those signs in our shipmates it’s important to ask if they’re okay.”

retired Navy Chief Yeoman Javier D. Rodriguez Santiago helped clinch gold for the U.S. in wheelchair basketball against the United Kingdom 48-16. “I couldn’t feel more proud or happy to be able to represent my country and bring home the gold,” Reyes said, who is a ﬁrst-time Invictus Games competitor. “It meant everything in the world.”

Moore added, it’s better to ask someone how they’re doing and ﬁnd out nothing is wrong than to not ask and leave them in need of help. U.S. Naval Hospital Guam psychologist Lt. Kyle Bandermann agreed, saying, “It never hurts to ask too much.” There are many resources available for service members and their families to take advantage of and by doing so while a problem is small, negative career impacts can be avoided. People can visit their command chaplain, take anger management courses, counseling through the Fleet and Family Support Center, see the mental health team at their nearest naval hospital and utilize Military OneSource to be referred to a counselor. Moore said it’s important for people to be honest about which resource works best for them, citing the example that one person may need the help of a chaplain while another may need help from a psychologist. If a resource cannot help in the way that someone needs, they will refer that person to someone who can. Moore said the people working at these resources don’t take it personally if they’re not the best option for an individual, but rather, everyone is focusing on getting someone the help they need, regardless of which resource ends up providing that help. “Please don’t discount the chaplain or any of these other resources,” Moore said. “The important thing is to get help.”

Trampled by Turtles opens up about balance, unpredictability and passion By Ed Condran The Virginian-Pilot Correspondent

NORFOLK

No act sounds quite like Trampled by Turtles, which will perform May 19 at The NorVa. It’s a progressive bluegrass band that hits hard. Trampled by Turtles can rock with abandon. The quintet even crosses the bluegrass line to include some drumming. It covers seminal rockers like the Pixies. Of course, Trampled by Turtles can dial it down to a slow tempo and play more traditional bluegrass if it chooses. The band has balance, unpredictability and palpable passion. The combination works sonically for Trampled by Turtles, which has emerged from cult status. “It’s been a gradual process,” vocalist-guitarist Dave Simonett said. “Things have gotten better for us year after year.” Trampled by Turtles, which includes banjo player Dave Carroll,

bassist Tim Saxhaug, mandolinist Erik Berry and ﬁddler Ryan Young, areis in an enviable place. Three of theirits seven albums have charted. The 2010’s record “Palomino,” hit the top of the Billboard Bluegrass charts and was in the Top-10 for a year. “I never envisioned this when the band formed,” Simonett said. “It’s been great.” The quirky group, which formed in 2003, in Duluth, Minnesota, got some serious attention in 2012 playing the massive music conference South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. Trampled By Turtles turned ears showcasing its unique sound, and arbiters of taste at SXSW noticed. Scribes Writers included the act in feature stories along with Jack White, Gary Clark Jr., and Bruce Springsteen, who also played the annual festival four years ago that year. “That was amazing,” Simonett

said. “Playing there was an incredible experience. Who knew that this band would ever play [SXSW] or put out all of these albums?” When Simonett assembled the band, it was a lark. “Trampled by Turtles is just something we did when we weren’t in our rock bands,” he said. “What appealed to us was doing something acoustic. None of us had ever been in an acoustic band before, and we just loved it. We really enjoyed playing these bluegrass instruments. The great thing is that one thing led to another and this is where we are. We’ve come a long way from where we started.” The place they started, Duluth, is hardly a bluegrass hotbed. “There isn’t much of a bluegrass scene

there,” Simonett said. “But there are some cool rock bands. But you don’t have to be part of a scene to appreciate a style of music. I’ve always been a Bill Monroe guy. Monroe and that generation paved the way.”

Like Monroe, Trampled by Turtles has pushed the envelope. The band’s latest album, “Wild Animals,” is a nice change-up. A number of the band’s latest tunes are moody and ethereal. “It’s healthy to do something different,” Simonett said. “We don’t want to make the same album every time out. But no matter what, we have a great time. We have so much fun making this music. I love coming up with the chords and melodies and the words. There’s nothing like songwriting and the connection we all have. “And the great thing is that we have an audience that is really into what we’re doing. You can’t ask for much more.”

The Tidewater Comicon 2016, one of the most successful comicons on the east coast is taking over the Virginia Beach Convention Center, May 21-22. It is a feast for all senses. Do you want Batmobiles? Well there will be four different Batmobiles on display: The 1966 TV version, the 1989 Tim Burton Batman version, the 1995 Batman Forever version, and the 2005 version from Batman Begins. Some of the many special guests include: one of the original Ghostbusters Ernie Hudson, as well as Flash Gordon Sam Jones. Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Fame member Jake â€œThe Snakeâ€? Roberts, and wrestling and movie star The Maestro will hold a very special panel on professional wrestling moderated by Vanguard Championship Wrestlingâ€™s manager Jerry Stephanitsis. And then there is the moment all fans live for, to meet the artists, writers, and creators of their favorite comic books. Two of the artists and writers attending include Gerry Conway, co-creator of Marvel fan favorite The Punisher and the one who scripted the death of Gwen Stacy for The Amazing Spider-Man; and Ron Marz, writer of DC vs. Marvel, Silver Surfer, and Green Lantern. They sat down with us for a candid interview. Yiorgo: Where were you both born and why did you decide to become a comic book writer? Ron Marz: I was born in Kingston, New York, about 90 miles north of Manhattan. Iâ€™m not sure I ever really decided to be a comic book writer, because itâ€™s the sort of thing that doesnâ€™t really seem attainable, something like being a professional athlete. Itâ€™s been said that there are fewer people creating comics for a living than there are players in the NBA. Itâ€™s a dream, and I know how fortunate I am to be doing it. Gerry Conway: I was born in Brooklyn, New York. Iâ€™m not sure I wanted to be a comic book writer as such â€“ I enjoyed telling stories, writing and drawing my own comics, making movies, writing ďŹ ction. Comics was the medium that provided me with my ďŹ rst opportunities to sell stories. It was the perfect medium for my particular set of skills. Y: Gerry, you got your start as a comic book writer at the

age of 15. That boggles my mind quite frankly. How did that happen? Can both of you trace for us the steps and your path in becoming a comic book writer including what you would consider at least ďŹ ve or more career highlights in the world of comics? GC: Growing up in New York I had access to the two main publishers, and DC in particular was welcoming at the time to fans. During the summer they offered a weekly tour of their ofďŹ ces, and the summer I was fourteen I went almost every week. Eventually I slipped away from the tour and started pestering editors with story ideas. I kept visiting the ofďŹ ces after school over the next year, met Dick Giordano, who kindly encouraged me. Finally the following summer Murray Boltinoff, who shared an editorial ofďŹ ce with Dick and Joe Orlando, asked me to submit a story. He ended up buying my ďŹ rst story, and Dick followed that up with assignments on House of Secrets and The Witching Hour. By the end of my senior year in high school I was writing regularly for DC, with a few assignments at Marvel. Marvel ultimately offered me enough work that I wrote exclusively for Marvel. As for ďŹ ve accomplishments Iâ€™m proud of: The death of Gwen Stacy storyline; co-creating The Punisher; cocreating Firestorm and Power Girl and Vibe and Killer Croc and Ms. Marvel; successful runs as a writer of Spider-Man in the early â€˜70s and mid-80s; one of the longest runs writing the original Justice League of America from the mid â€˜70s to the mid-80s. RM: I have a career because the great writer-artist Jim Starlin took me under his wing and showed me the ropes, and took me into Marvel. Jim and I were friends even back when I was a journalist for a living, right out of college, and he suggested I try my hand at writing at comics. He co-wrote my ďŹ rst few jobs with me, and Iâ€™ve been doing it even since. As far as highlights, I guess Iâ€™m best known for my runs on Green Lantern, Silver Surfer and Witchblade, but I also got to write things that meant a great deal to me as a kid, like Star Wars and John Carter of Mars. Y: Ron, you have created or co-created so many characters: Silver Surfer, Green Lantern, DC vs. Marvel, Witchblade, Star Wars along with many other characters. Gerry you have created or cocreated so many characters as well such as The Punisher, Firestorm, Power Girl, ManThing, and Killer Croc, along with many other characters. Gentlemen, who would you say are your top ďŹ ve favorite characters and why? RM: Itâ€™s hard to pick between projects, they each have their own set of challenges and rewards. Certainly my version of Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, is probably dearest to me among my Marvel and

Jane Watson. Stan approved of the death (despite his protests to the contrary over the intervening years) and we went ahead. None of us expected the reaction we received. It left me traumatized personally for years. Y: I loved the DC vs. Marvel. How did all that evolve, and what were some of the behind the scenes maneuvering like to protect the different characters? RM: Obviously Marvel and DC agreed to do the project, and then I was brought in to work on it. It was the equivalent of a big popcorn ďŹ‚ick, meant to be fun and engaging to the audience. The creative process was surprisingly smooth, because we had great editors who made sure that the story came ďŹ rst, and any intercompany drama was avoided. It was deďŹ nitely a â€œpinch meâ€? sort of assignment, because we couldnâ€™t believe we were actually doing it. Y: Can you share with us any â€œwowâ€? moments? RM: My whole career is a pinch-me moment. I realize Iâ€™m very fortunate to do what is, for many people, a dream job. I make up stories for a living. What could be better than that? Iâ€™ve visited places all over the world thanks to comics and conventions, from London to India to New Zealand to Malta. Next week Iâ€™m going to Uruguay for a comicâ€™s festival. Itâ€™s incredible. GC: My whole life has been a series of â€œwowâ€? moments. Meeting and working for Stan Lee. Collaborating with Neal Adams. Writing a script for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having dinner with Kelly-Sue McConnick and Matt Fracton. Iâ€™m a very, very lucky guy. Y: Why should the fans come out to the Tidewater Comicon May 21-22? GC: To meet me, obviously! No, seriously, to see the work of some fabulously talented creators and if they like, to say hi. RM: Comic cons used to be a pretty insular world, just the hardcore comics audience at a few popular shows. Now conventions are everywhere, and they attract a huge, diverse audience. Cons are a celebration of the things we love, whether itâ€™s comics, TV or movies. Now thereâ€™s something for everyone, of any age, at comic conventions. Yiorgo is our very own Hampton Roadâ€™s Arts and Entertainment, and Sports journalist. A stage, TV and movie actor, he is also an educator, motivational speaker, writer, storyteller, columnist, and is also involved in the colorful world of professional wrestling.

DC work, because we created him from the ground up. Itâ€™s gratifying to leave behind something that continues on in a comic universe. Y: Are there any plans of bringing back Kyle Rayner, more speciďŹ cally, as a Green Lantern? RM: I co-created Kyle with artist Darryl Banks, but DC owns him. They decided what happens to the character. Iâ€™m just happy heâ€™s still a part of the DC Universe, and the readers have responded to him since we introduced him. GC: The Top-5 are the ones youâ€™ve named. The Punisher was originally conceived as a one-off minor villain to introduce a more important villain named the Jackal, but as I wrote the script I realized he was a far more interesting character than Iâ€™d thought heâ€™d be. He took on a life of his own. Readers responded and the rest is history. Y: Gerry, at the age 19 you took over from Stan Lee, the writing for The Amazing Spider-man, one of my Top-5 personal favorite comic book characters. Can you talk about that time in your life, how it all went down, the transition, Stan Lee, and how the death of Gwen just a year later played out behind the scenes. GC: It was a bizarre series of events. Marvel at the time was a small publisher with a core group of three writers -Stan, Roy Thomas, and in a very junior position, myself. When the company was sold and the new owners opted to expand and elevate Stan to publisher, he gradually gave up his workload as a writer. Roy was his ďŹ rst choice to take over Stanâ€™s writing assignments, but Roy had no interest in writing books like Thor, and later, Spider-Man. So I inherited Thor and Stan liked what I did well enough to trust me with Spider-Man (under the close supervision of John Romita at ďŹ rst) when Roy passed on the book. But Stan remained involved in a general sense. When John broached the idea of killing off one of the main supporting cast to increase reader interest, Stan approved. Johnâ€™s initial thought for a possible victim was Aunt May, but I felt she was too important to the theme and structure of the series at the time, so I suggested Gwen Stacy. I thought she was a weak character, much less interesting as a girl friend/ foil for Peter Parker than Mary

GULF OF ADEN

Focused on a culture of health and wellness, USS Boxer’s (LHD 4) Civilian Afloat Fitness Specialist Rosalio Nieto, or Fit Boss, helps Sailors and Marines reach new fitness milestones by conducting several fitness classes tailored toward promoting a healthconscious lifestyle. Boxer’s Fit Boss offers a fitness enhancement program (FEP) for Sailors who need help meeting body composition assessment and physical fitness assessment standards. Nieto also offers five different fitness classes throughout the week for anyone interested in physical training in small group settings. “My purpose aboard Boxer is to provide a healthy fitness environment for all the Sailors and Marines. I want them to have a healthy lifestyle so that they’re safe on the job, and don’t promote injuries and they’re able to do their job well and efficiently. Outside of the work place, if I can increase their healthy lifestyles they’ll be healthier, happier people overall,” Nieto said. Beyond group physical training sessions, Fit Boss offers individual personal training programs that service members can adapt to their gym workouts, and 28 superhero workouts that Sailors and Marines can do

in a group or solo. “I started off a little bit on the heavier side, that’s the reason why I’m on FEP,” Interior Communications Electrician Seaman Kristoffer Caberto said. “I just hit FEP seriously and have been going consistently as much as I can. I’m starting to see results, people are telling me, and I’m starting to feel better about myself.” Nieto shared how experiences helped for a strong value for health and fitness as essential components of a long, active life. “I have always been involved with sports or activities with my friends and family. After college I worked with clinical fitness, which are individuals after surgery or post stroke. It really became apparent to me that if you didn’t start out with a base of health and fitness as you get older it would really be more difficult for you to stay and be healthy after these large setbacks in life,” Nieto said. Crew members are discovering additional benefits to increasing their fitness

regimens. “Working out in general is a stress reliever, especially when you’ve had a very long day, depending on what your [job] is,” Pfc. Pedro Martinez said. “There have been so many days that I’ve been really stressed. Going out there and giving it all that I can, I truly believe that it is a stress reliever, a big one. I’m a happier person because I go [to high intensity body weight circuits] every Monday or Friday and it helps me out mentally and physically.”

One of Nieto’s motivations to guide Boxer crew members in a healthier direction is connecting through a focus on ﬁtness. “For me, it’s the personal connection to each Sailor and Marine,” Nieto said. “Everyone has a life, everyone has a story and when they come to me and need assistance to either keep a job or look better for a loved one back home, I really appreciate when they come back to me and say, ‘Hey Fit Boss, without you I wouldn’t be able to do this.’” Boxer is the ﬂagship for the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and, with the embarked 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, is deployed in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

Easy grilling ideas for summer Statepoint

Summer was made for entertaining â€“ from casual dinner parties to impromptu get-togethers. Whatâ€™s better than centering the entertainment on the grill? Beyond the standard burgers and hot dogs, there are an array of appetizers, main courses and even desserts that are all grillfriendly and easy to make. â€œSummer cooking is all about great, fresh ďŹ‚avors and keeping things simple and unfussy,â€? Erin Madsen says, executive editor of BettyCrocker.com, an entertaining resource that offers recipes, how-tos, and test-kitchen tips. This summer, the experts at Betty Crocker are focused on quick dinners on the grill that require very little cleanup. You can cut down on mess, they say, with foil pack recipes that use an indirect-heating method to cook the food. For instance, this ďŹ‚avorful recipe for Green Chile Cheddar Burgers, brings together classic cheeseburgers, a zip of green chiles and craveable corn salsa. More great summer recipes and tips can be found at BettyCrocker.com/SummerGrilling.

Green Chile Cheddar Burgers INGREDIENTS: â€˘ 1 pound extra-lean (at least 90 percent) ground beef â€˘ 2 cans (4.5 ounces each) Old El Paso chopped green chiles â€˘ 2 teaspoons chili powder â€˘ 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin â€˘ 1 teaspoon salt â€˘ 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese â€˘ 1 1/2 cups frozen whole kernel sweet corn, thawed â€˘ 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro â€˘ 4 lime wedges DIRECTIONS: â€˘ Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18 inch by 12 inch) sheets of heavy duty foil. Spray with cooking spray. â€˘ In medium bowl, mix beef, 1 can green chiles, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1 cup of the cheese until blended. Form into four patties about 1/2-inch thick. In small bowl, mix corn, remaining can of green chiles, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. â€˘ Place beef patty on center of each sheet of foil. Scoop about 1/3 cup of corn mixture on top of each patty. â€˘ Bring up two sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal. â€˘ Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook eight minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook seven to nine minutes longer or until patties are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160 degrees. Remove packs from grill. Cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil.Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheese; garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.

MOCA teams up with Hi-Fructose for the museum’s biggest exhibition By Denise M. Watson The Virginian-Pilot

If it looks like the brilliant images at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) leapt from the pages of a magazine, it is because they have. Next weekend, MOCA opens its biggest exhibition ever with colordrenched artwork from Hi-Fructose, a California-based magazine. The quarterly publication, acclaimed in the international contemporary arts community, is marking its 10th anniversary by bringing some of its most beautiful, arresting, freakish images to Virginia Beach. The touring exhibition, “Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose,” will be on display until year’s end and then will travel to the Akron Art Museum in Ohio followed by the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. It features 51 of some of today’s most cutting-edge artists, including painters Kehinde Wiley and Mark Ryden, who are being shown together in a large-scale format for the ﬁrst time. The retrospective includes more than 60 pieces and two installation artists who will be creating work for MOCA. MOCA’s Director of Exhibitions and Education Alison Byrne said, it has taken more than two years to pull together the massive exhibit. Staff had to organize the loans, locating and then pulling many of the pieces from private collections. Then there are the logistics of the crating, shipping and completing the educational components to tie into the exhibit. “This one-of-a-kind exhibition has the potential to bring many out of area visitors to Virginia Beach, which is very exciting for the city and MOCA,” Byrne said in an email. The partnership brings together two-like minded organizations that exist on opposite sides of the country. Through the years, MOCA exhibited artists that the magazine had showcased, such as Barnaby Barford, a British artist known for his ceramic

work, and sculptor Brian Dettmer. The groups connected in anticipation of the 10th anniversary. Husband-and-wife team Annie Owens-Seifert and Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert started the magazine because they felt genre-bending art was underrepresented in media. Artists themselves, neither had experience in publishing. “I think we were both wanting for something that wasn’t out there for us at the time. I felt that there was a huge gap in art coverage between the grafﬁti scene and living-room art,” OwensSeifert said in an email. Its slick, saturated pages developed an international following. “We didn’t know what to expect or how it would all pan out. ... But people responded to what and how we chose to publish so we just kept going, issue by issue.” The title is a play on high-fructose sugar, “the evil toxic sweetener,” she said. “We know art lovers who feel they are truly addicted to art so the name made sense.” MOCA is marking the opening on May 21 with a spectacle of an evening called “A Full Moon Menagerie.” The imagery is taken from some of the artists who will be on display. The VIP reception takes place in a blackand-white surreal forest, with dinner, drinks and private tours. A “wildly lit” parachute tunnel will bridge the monochromatic forest and the colorful vintage circus that unfolds in the Rodriguez Pavilion. The Seiferts and several of the artists will attend the opening reception, and the magazine founders will have a question-and-answer session May 22 at 2 p.m. “Getting the honor to partner with the MOCA kind of blows my mind,” Owens-Seifert said. Events will be held at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art 2200 Parks Ave, Virginia Beach. Visit www. virginiamoca.org or call 425-0000 for more information.

VETERAN KENSETH HOLDS OFF ROOKIES FOR VICTORY AT DOVER By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

After a late-race wreck collected about half the starting ďŹ eld, the AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover International Speedway boiled down to a battle between one of the oldest drivers in the Sprint Cup Series and two of the youngest. In the end, 44-year-old Matt Kenseth prevailed over 23-year-old Kyle Larson and 20-year-old Chase Elliott to win for the ďŹ rst time since last fall at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. It was a scenario that has played out time and again over the history of the sport, as an experienced veteran ďŹ gured out a way to take the victory over younger drivers who appeared to have faster cars in the ďŹ nal laps. For Larson, runner-up ďŹ nisher after leading 85 laps, was the fourth second-place of his Cup career. Drivers like Chase Elliottâ€™s father, the retired Bill Elliott, can

sympathize with Larson and Chase. Bill Elliott ďŹ nished second eight times before securing his ďŹ rst win, and years later admitted that he had a faster car than the winner in many of those races, but was outdriven by the veterans who beat him. Larson said he might have gotten the win at Dover had he been more aggressive with his challenges to Kenseth in the closing laps. But he chose to not rough up the veteran driver he respects and considers one of the circuitâ€™s cleanest drivers. â€œI was just going to try and race him as hard as I could without getting into him to beat him,â€? Larson said. â€œHeâ€™s sitting in Victory Lane and Iâ€™m not, so maybe I need to do something a little bit different, but nothing crazy to take him out or anything. â€œMaybe use the bumper a little bit. I donâ€™t know. It would be nice to be sitting here knowing Iâ€™m in the Chase.â€? The rookie Elliott took second

at one point from Larson and appeared to be on track to also pass Kenseth, but fell back to third at the ďŹ nish. â€œI hate to not get the job done and be so close,â€? he said. Like Larson, Elliott was secondguessing himself in his post-race interview. â€œLooking back, wish I had done some different things to open up some clear lanes and run different lines,â€? he said. â€œRegardless, I donâ€™t think we were quite as good as what [Larson] was there, and he did a good job of getting back by us, giving Matt a shot.â€? Both Elliott and Larson said they hoped to be battling each other for wins for years to come. â€œIâ€™d love to be in the mix for wins moving forward,â€? Elliott said. Larson pointed out that he and Elliott already have raced each other for wins in the NASCAR divisions below Sprint Cup, and would like for that rivalry to continue. â€œHopefully weâ€™re battling up front

for many years to come,â€? he said. Kenseth said heâ€™s surprised Larson hasnâ€™t won already, given his talent behind the wheel. â€œHeâ€™s a great race-car driver,â€? Kenseth said. â€œIt doesnâ€™t even seem right that he hasnâ€™t won yet. Heâ€™s a really, really clean, hard racer, and a fast learner.â€? Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch

completed the Top-5 in a race that saw many of the top contenders eliminated from contention in an 18-car wreck with 47 of 400 laps remaining. It occurred just after a restart, when 10-time Dover winner Jimmie Johnson, starting on the outside of the front row, could not get his car into third gear, stacking up the drivers behind him. â€œIn my career, Iâ€™ve never had a transmission do that to me,â€? Johnson said. Among those involved was Martin Truex Jr., who, for the second straight week, appeared to have a car capable of victory only to experience misfortune at the end. At Kansas, it was a problem on a pit stop. Last Sunday at Dover, it was damage from a wreck after he led 47 laps. â€œI donâ€™t know when our luck will change,â€? he said. â€œAll I know is that weâ€™re bringing really fast cars to the track and contending for the win. Itâ€™s got to turn around. Weâ€™re too good of a team not to have a victory by now.â€? Matt Kenseth battled rookie Kyle Larson to the ďŹ nish line in the AAA 400 Drive for Austism at The Monster Mile.
