YORKTOWN

Sailors at Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA) Yorktown have taken the initiative to mentor and motivate their fellow shipmates in making smart decisions when it comes to personal responsibility with the formation of the command Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD) council. The CSADD program is geared toward Sailors, 18 to 25 years old, to reinforce our culture of “shipmates helping shipmates” across the installation. Not only is the program used to encourage positive decision making, it

is also a great tool to help build leadership skills in young Sailors. “I joined CSADD to help sharpen my leadership skills and to help inﬂuence a new organization on WPNSTA Yorktown,” said Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Randy Cortes, the newly-elected president of the CSADD Council. Cortes is a watch commander in the Security Department at WPNSTA Yorktown. His goal for CSADD is to help improve morale at the installation through the various programs focused on young Sailors. “We want to help the ‘Command Triad’ promote Sailors making positive decisions,” he explained.

Lincoln Sailors rescue woman from burning house

KEEP WHAT YOU’VE EARNED FAIR HELD AT NAS OCEANA By Cathy Heimer Jet Observer

VIRGINIA BEACH

By MC2 Danian Douglas USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs

NEWPORT NEWS

Two Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) stormed into a house and rescued an elderly woman from her burning home, in Downtown Newport News July 1. Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 2nd Class Devon Bishop and Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class Jessica Jusino, both having just finished eating lunch at a nearby restaurant, saw a plume of smoke above the trees down the street before entering their vehicle. The Sailors decided to investigate. As they drove down the street toward the source, they came upon a stunned crowd standing in front of a private house with black smoke billowing out of the enclosed porch. “When we pulled up, we rolled down the window and asked the crowd if everything was OK,” said Bishop. “They said no, and that a lady was inside.” Fresh from completing general shipboard firefighting training at Naval Station Norfolk’s Firefighting Training School three weeks ago, Bishop and Jusino immediately jumped out of the vehicle, split paths down the sides of the house, looking for an entry point that was not engulfed in smoke or flames.

JDTC provides unique joint training to military members Joint Staff Public Affairs – Hampton Roads

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines have the opportunity to hone their joint operations skill sets through unique training provided by the Joint Deployment Training Center (JDTC), based at Fort Eustis. The JDTC provides the joint operations community with functional skills and doctrinal knowledge of the processes and computer applications used to plan, execute, manage, or maintain situational awareness of forces, equipment, and supplies. “Graduates of our certiﬁcate granting courses learn not only how to best employ the system, but also the value of information [presented] to senior decision makers,” said U.S. Army Col. Douglas Pietrowski, JDTC director. JDTC offers three programs of study: Joint Deployment, Global Force Management, and Situational Awareness.

Each provides students with unique training resources to learn and understand DOD’s Joint Command and Control (JC2) system and the doctrinal processes it supports. JDTC training includes basic, intermediate, and advanced courses in: ■ Joint Deployment with emphasis on Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) JOPES, as its name suggests, consists of the policies, procedures, and tools seniorlevel decision makers use to plan and conduct joint military operations. The system ensures all those involved in a joint operation communicate through standardized vocabulary and well deﬁned procedures ■ Global Force Management (GFM) with emphasis on Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM) GFM aligns force apportionment, assignment, and allocation in support of the National Defense Strategy.

JCRM supports the GFM process as the management tool, used to submit force requirements (e.g., emergent, rotational, exercise, individual augmentation, or contingency) ■ Situational Awareness with emphasis on Common Operational Picture (COP) and Integrated Imagery and Intelligence (I3) COP enhances the decision-making process, as the application provides seniorlevel decision makers with a near real-time visual display of forces, equipment, supplies, and activities within an operation. I3 provides decision-makers with centralized access to an array of current intelligence imagery, which enhances their COP and decision-making process Each JDTC resident course is ﬁve days or less of handson over-the-shoulder training with a veteran subject matter expert.

These signal flags are used to communicate while maintaining radio silence. Navy Signalmen transmit messages by hoisting a flag or a series of flags on a halyard. Each side of the ship has halyards and a “flag bag,” containing a full set of signal flags. Signals unique to the U.S. Navy are used when communicating with other U.S. Navy or allied forces.

The award is earned at three levels Gold Star, Silver Eagle and Bronze Anchor and every applicant receives at least the Bronze Anchor. The Blue H encourages and rewards excellence in primary prevention policies and activities throughout the Department of the Navy, which are critical to maintaining a ﬁt and ready force. Health topics assessed by Blue H criteria include: responsible drinking, injury prevention, nutrition, physical activity, psychological health, sexual health, tobacco prevention, and cessation and weight management. “Improving healthy lifestyles of Sailors and Marines also enhances individual quality of life and reduces long-term health care costs,” said Michael (Bob) MacDonald, Blue H Project Manager. “Additionally, the award criteria provide a cookbook for activities, materials and target objectives for health promotion programs, and this ready-to-use format is especially helpful for collateral-duty health promotion coordinators.” The Blue H is managed by NMCPHC and is organized into three distinct criteria sets: Fleet, Medical and Semper Fit. The Fleet version of the Blue H recognizes excellence in workplace prevention policies, activities and outcomes for non-medical Navy commands. The Medical version recognizes excellence in clinical prevention, community health promotion and medical staff health in Navy medical organizations. The Semper Fit version recognizes excellence in community-level prevention activities conducted by USMC Semper Fit Centers.

TRUMAN FRIENDS, FAMILY GET A TASTE OF LIFE AT SEA By MC3 Blagoj B. Petkovski USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) hosted approximately 2,500 family members and friends on an all-day underway to the west Atlantic, June 27. “Our Families and Friends Day was a huge success,” said Capt. Bob Roth, Truman’s commanding ofﬁcer. “It gave us a chance to show off the ship and give our guests a glimpse of what our lives are like at sea, the equipment we operate, the watches we stand, where we eat, exercise, and even sleep. It was a once-in-alifetime event for most who attended and certainly a very special event for our Sailors who were able to have their family members and guests join

them for a fun day at sea.” The morning began with guests arriving as early as 4 a.m. After Truman got underway at 6:30 a.m., Sailors escorted their guests around the ship, visiting the jet shop, forecastle, bridge, combat direction center, and finally treated them to an air power demonstration where they witnessed a supersonic fly-by by an F-18 Super Hornet, an E-2C Hawkeye fly-by, two launches and recoveries witnessed from the flight deck, a strafing demonstration, all capped off with a four-plane formation fly-over. The squadrons that participated in the air power demonstration were the “Dusty Dogs” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 7, “Swordsmen” of Strike Fighter Squadron 32, “Ragin’ Bulls” of Strike Fighter Squadron 37, “Gunslingers” of Strike Fighter Squadron 105, and

Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 2 held a change of command ceremony aboard the guided missile destroyer USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81), June 27. Capt. Fred I. Pyle relieved Capt. Stephen J. Coughlin as commodore of DESRON 2 in a time-honored ceremony on the ﬂight deck of Churchill. “It is an incredible honor to be associated with the long and storied history of Destroyer Squadron 2,” said Coughlin. “As the longest standing destroyer squadron in the U.S. Navy, this squadron has served and fought around the globe over our entire history as a modern Navy, in almost every major naval battle and campaign.” Coughlin, who served as deputy commodore prior to assuming command as DESRON 2 commodore in December 2012, will next report to OPNAV N96. During his time as commodore, Coughlin successfully guided three of the squadron’s destroyers through independent deployments. The deployments supported ballistic

missile defense missions and maritime security operations in the 5th and 6th Fleet area of operations. “To be the commander of this squadron has been a remarkable professional experience for me in every possible way,” said Coughlin. “I could not have asked for a better setting or a better group of ﬁne Americans to celebrate the U.S. Navy with me.” Rear Adm. Andrew Lewis, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12 was the guest speaker for the ceremony. “It is a great honor and privilege to be standing here before you all today,” he said. “One of the great things about my job is that I get to say farewell to outstanding leaders and welcome new ones to carry on the tradition that has been set before them.” During the ceremony, Lewis presented Coughlin with the Legion of Merit in recognition of his accomplishments as commodore. Pyle assumed command on the decks of Churchill, the very destroyer he commanded from January of 2008 to July of 2009. Before taking over as commodore, Pyle served as deputy commodore of DESRON 2.

It has been

a good experience for her and I can see how she’s matured and become disciplined.” Prospective service members got a chance to experience what a potential career in the military could offer. “This was a really great experience.

USS ARLEIGH BURKE, AT SEA

Sailors assigned to the guidedmissile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) celebrated the ship’s 23rd birthday on our nation’s 238th birthday, Independence Day. Sailors participated in a 4th of July ceremonial reflection event on the ship’s flight deck, and afterwards shared a meal in celebration of the ship’s birthday. The ship also celebrated its 23 years in commission while deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts. The number 23 not only marks the ship’s age, but is also a significant number to its crew, its history, and to Adm. Arleigh Burke, the ship’s namesake, who served as Chief of Naval Operations from Aug. 1955 to Aug. 1961. The significance comes from many aspects of the ship’s namesake history. In June of 1923, Adm. Burke graduated from the United States Naval Academy. He later commanded Destroyer Squadron 23, which fought in 22 separate engagements during World War II and is the only destroyer squadron to receive a Presidential Unit Citation. It also reflects his distinguished service on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations as director of the Organizational Research and Policy Division (Op-23). Arleigh Burke is the lead ship of its class and is the only destroyer class currently active in the U.S. Navy. The ship was commissioned with Adm. Burke present at the ceremony, July 4, 1991 on the waterfront in Downtown Norfolk. “It is difficult to grasp the awe of commanding the Arleigh Burke on such a unique day,” said Cmdr. Camille Flaherty, commanding officer of Arleigh Burke. “As one the previous commanding officers told me, ‘you are commanding history.’” During the 4th of July ceremony, Sailors reflected on the dedication of their forefathers, the sacrifice of Sailors who came before them and Americans who have built the nation to which they are citizens of today. That pride was felt with a double dose of honor in serving their country, because of the ship upon which they serve that country. “It is humbling to have so much pride in this ship in the present time that shares the same birthday and same idea that led the country into

It is the same reason we as Sailors serve and it is

how this ship operates.” Festivities celebrating both birthdays ran until sunset, with stars in the sky as visible as those on the American ﬂag. The ecstatic, uplifting feeling and sense of pride felt by Sailors could shake the deck plates and make waves through the ocean. “The thing that separates this ship from any previous ship in my experience is her ﬁghting spirit,” said Flaherty. “She and her crew never give up. You step aboard this hallowed ground and leave a better person. I am humbled every day I am part of this historic crew.” “Like people say,” said Ortlieb,

There were also prizes awarded at the end to attendees who visited each booth. “This provides information about how to rely on yourself, how to make smart decisions, how to rely on your teammates, to ensure success,” said Capt. Kit Chope, commanding ofﬁcer, NAS Oceana. He kicked off the event by recognizing the fair’s organizer, Hospital Corpsman 1st Class (SW) Lynley Bastien and her team. Bastien came up with the idea several months ago and received enthusiastic support not only from the Branch Health Clinic (BHC) Oceana Ofﬁcer-in-Charge Capt. (sel.) Cyrus Rad, but also Oceana’s chain of command. “This is a program from the deckplate – Sailors educating Sailors,” said Chope. “It’s the Oceana family doing what families do. It’s an opportunity for Sailors, Marines, civilians to come together, to learn together and share experiences. Down the road, folks will make better decisions for themselves, their families and their

shipmates because of this.” “The purpose of this is to provide awareness so that Sailors, no matter what rank they are, are able to make informed decisions and not lose anything they’ve worked so hard for,” explained Bastien. She noted how poor decisions not only affect the military member’s career and their paycheck, but also their families and their commands. “I want to show the alternatives to do on your down time besides drinking,” she said. Bastien is passionate about helping others to not make poor choices, especially involving driving under the influence. Having been hit by a driver who was under the influence, the corpsman still suffers from back problems and nerve damage on one side of her face. Poor choices about driving under the influence have ended with military members in serious and sometimes fatal, motor vehicle accidents. Using the hydraulic spreader, also known as the “jaws of life,” personnel from the Navy Mid-Atlantic Fire & Emergency Services at Oceana and the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad demonstrated how trapped victims

One firefighter held another door as a second one used the hydraulic spreader to “pop” it off its hinges.

The team then had to react quickly on a medical simulation mannequin using their ACLS techniques. “Even though I have done this before there was still a lot of confusion,” said Kevin Dawson, a rural health nurse at San Antonio Polyclinic Hospital. “After being able to actually have the hands-on training today, it has made the ACLS processes and what to do so much clearer.” The team completed the scenario with conﬁdence that they would be able to handle a situation in the future. “Overall the goal is to save lives – whether you’re in a different country or speaking a different language, medicine will always be the same language,” said Maldarelli.

“He went to the right and I went to the left, knocking everywhere to see if someone would respond,” said Jusino. “When I heard her scream, I yelled to Bishop and told him to kick in the wooden door that led to the kitchen.” After pushing past a freezer that was blocking the bolted door, they encountered the elderly woman feeling her way around and screaming, “no, no no,” thinking that she was being burglarized. “After we told her that her house was on ﬁre and that we were there to help, we helped her out of the house through the back door,” said Bishop. “She was trying to grab some items, but we told her we need to get you out now. Jusino and I then grabbed her walker and took her to the backyard.” After they hurried her safely to the house next door, in the care of the neighbor, they were then joined by the survivor’s daughter, who had left for work, but immediately turned back when she was alerted to the commotion taking place in front of her house, according to Jusino. “The lady was scared, and really didn’t know what was going on, but she was thanking us over and over again,” said Jusino. “We, on the other hand, were still on an adrenaline rush.”

The spirited Sailors said that only when they got back to their vehicle did they realize that they left the windows down, the doors open and the engine running. “I feel stunned,” said Jusino. “I am relieved that we happened to be there at that moment.” Bishop too, is still trying to come to terms with what they did. “It’s stuff you always hear about, but never really imagine yourself in that situation,” said Bishop. “Everything we’ve learned, and all the training that has been instilled in us came into play today, with no hesitation.” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 1st Class Derrick Williams, the Sailors’ leading petty officer, said that one of the missions of the aviation boatswain’s mate (handling) rating, is firefighting aircraft aboard ships that carry aircraft. “In our rating, the worst can happen in an instant, because we’re landing and recovering aircraft, which can crash and explode any day,” said Williams. “Although the rigorous drills can become repetitive, when tragedy occurs, aviation boatswain’s mates are there to react instinctively and save lives, because that is our primary mission.”

Ships and aircraft in the next Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise could be running on biofuels, and they won’t even need to know it, according to speakers at an Alternative Fuels Overview briefing for RIMPAC 2014 participants. The briefing drew more than 40 officers and officials from seven nations – Australia, Brunei, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Mexico and the United States. Joelle Simonpietri, U.S. Pacific Command’s operational manager for energy and contingency basing, spelled out the need to develop alternative fuels in order to reduce a major driver of conflict. This is especially true in the Pacific, which has the world’s largest energy demand and lowest fossil energy resources – where the “tyranny of dis-

tance” is most acute, and everything must travel long distances. She also noted that only a handful of the 36 nations in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region are petroleum exporters. Fossil fuel price volatility has meant that “in several of the past 10 years, the U.S. Department of Defense has had to do significant budget machinations,” said Simonpietri. Development of alternative fuels closer to operations shortens and diversifies supply lines. It can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and foster “good neighbor” cooperation among nations. Simonpietri said Department of Defense Alternative Fuel Policy requires that replacement fuels must be “drop-in” fuels and meet existing fuel specifications. The biofuels must utilize existing transportation and distribution infrastructure and require no modifications to weapons platforms.

WHEN TEMPS

HEAT UP,

COOL AND STAY SAFE for parents Whether they are young children or teens, keep your kids safe and healthy while they enjoy the summer fun. For more tips on staying safe this summer, visit www.cdc. gov/family/ kids.

TRICARE

When the weather heats up, both adults and children head outside. Long lazy days in the water or short summer bike trips can be fun and great ways to stay cool, but slip and falls or bike accidents can put a chill on all the summer fun. If you ﬁnd that you or a family member needs medical assistance, be sure you know where to go. The Children’s Nationwide Center for Injury Prevention (CIRP) safety information video reports that during the summer in the U.S., a child drowns every ﬁve days in a portable pool and more than 1,000 children die in drowning accidents every year. Other injuries can include fractures that occur from boating accidents and falls on slippery surfaces surrounding pools. Use these safety tips to keep water accidents at bay: ■ Always supervise children in the water as drowning can occur anywhere,

even in only a few inches of water. ■ Empty wading pools and coolers immediately after use. ■ Use self-closing and self-latching gates that open away from the pool ■ When on a boat, children must always wear a life jacket. Air-ﬁlled swimming aids like water wings or inner tubes are not a substitute for a life jacket. ■ Avoid alcohol when swimming or supervising children. Many people leave the water and hit the bike trail to dry off, but safety should remain top of mind. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that head injuries account for 62 percent of bicycle-related deaths. About 33 percent of all bicycle-related emergency department visits and 67 percent of all bicycle-related hospital admissions involve head injuries. Younger riders use bicycle helmets just 15-25 percent of the time, even though they are required by law

“A pet is an expensive story with an expensive ending,” said O’Leary. He said you need to think of a pet as costing $12,000 over the lifetime of the pet.

Terrifying ways to save money By Jacey Eckhart Military Spouse Contributor

My 20-year-old Army son and I have been talking about money. Specifically, he wants to know about all the stupid money decisions we made when we were his age – the brand new cars, the mortgage on a house we couldn’t sell, the three dogs at once. Why three? This stuff makes him laugh. It makes me want to grind my teeth to nubs. Because even though we are financially sound now, I wish we had done some extreme things for our finances when we were his age. I wish we had adopted at least one terrifying, against-the-grain, no-one-doesthat money saving habit. Entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary (you’ve seen him on Shark Tank) proposes lots of these terrifying ways to save money in his new book, “The Cold Hard Truth on Men, Women, and Money: 50 Common Money Mistakes and How to Fix Them.” In addition to the usual advice to know where your money is going and to save 10 percent of what you earn, the guy has a lot of solid – but kind of terrifying – ideas that could really help young military members like my son. Would you adopt any of these practices? Would you advise someone else to do it? 1. Don’t buy a car. O’Leary advocates owning two wheels instead of four – especially when young. He likes Vespa scooters and bicycles and public transportation and living within walking distance of where you work. “Cars also constitute the single biggest money pit many of us own,” O’Leary writes. If my son only hears one thing, I’d like him to calculate the cost of the car not only by the payment, but by the cost of financing, gas, insurance, parking, maintenance, license, registration etc. etc. Write that number on a piece of paper five times to show how much you will be spending over the next five years Wow. That’s a lot of money, ain’t it? 2. Don’t get a pet. You may have wanted a dog all of your life, but the truth is that they cost a fortune to purchase, feed, spay, inoculate, cure, clothe and sent to the dentist.

3. Don’t go to college. Yet. O’Leary points out that your college education is one of the most expensive investments you will ever make. Even if you are buying that education with G.I. benefits so that it feels free, it isn’t free. Those benefits were earned the hard way and can be held in reserve. “Going to college because you have nothing better to do, or just because your friends are going, is a foolish waste of money,” writes O’Leary. “Get serious about it or delay until you know exactly what you want to study, where you should go, how you’ll earn money when you’re there and how to increase your chances of getting a job when you graduate.” 4. Don’t major in Liberal Arts. I know we are all told to major in what we love. My degrees are in Geography and Sociology, thanks. But O’Leary dares to say that you should major in something that leads directly to a J-O-B. “Consider the kind of work you want to do when you graduate, because the cold hard truth is that for much of your adult life, you’re going to be working ... and it better be something that’s going to make you enough money for you to be happy,” said O’Leary. For military spouses, that degree needs to lead to a job where there is a lot of demand and is available in every state in the union. If your particular Liberal Arts degree will do that for you, then run with it. 5. Don’t get married. Dating someone with a lot of debt? In love with someone who gambles or buys a lot of lottery tickets? Mad about a guy who may be a bit of a player? Then live with them, O’Leary advises. Don’t get married. From a strictly financial point of view, living together or signing a cohabitation agreement is a lot cheaper than a divorce. O’Leary’s rule of thumb is: Don’t marry anyone you’d be afraid to divorce. My rule of thumb? Don’t marry someone you are already thinking of divorcing. 6. Don’t buy an engagement ring. In addition to the nine other terrifying ways O’Leary has to not overspend on your wedding (pick at least one, you’ll be glad you did), O’Leary suggests that you forgo the engagement ring. Why spend two or three month’s salary on a ring when you are so young that you are barely making your rent? Instead, he says that you buy a big ring on your tenth anniversary along with some awesome golf clubs for your husband. 7. Don’t marry a gold digger. You wouldn’t think Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines or Coasties would be plagued by people marrying them for their money. Take a look at a pay chart, people. These young ones are hardly Mark Zuckerberg or Beyoncé in cammo.

to wear helmets until age 12. Many bike accidents go unreported as they are judged not serious enough for medical attention. Generally, if a condition is threatening to life, limb or eyesight, or causes the beneficiary to require relief from pain, it is considered an emergency and calls for a trip to the emergency room. TRICARE defines an emergency department as an organized, hospitalbased facility available 24 hours a day providing emergency services to patients who need immediate medical attention. Emergency departments affiliated with a hospital are most likely TRICARE-authorized providers. Beneficiaries and their families will get the appropriate level of care and save money by having urgent care needs met in urgent care facilities. Learn more about emergency care under TRICARE at www.tricare.mil/ emergency.

Yet there are people in the world who see them as a steady paycheck. O’Leary said you gotta watch out for people who have no discernible employment or goals in life beyond being available to you, or constantly hint at things they’d like you to purchase or pay for. 8. Don’t buy a house. Are you going to move within the next ﬁve years? Then don’t buy a house. Even though it seems like you are missing out by renting or living in housing, the harsh, cold reality is that buying a house in a market you don’t know that well is risky. “Mobility erodes equity,” O’Leary points out. “Every time you buy and sell a house, you’re losing at least 13 percent of its value to closing costs, real estate fees and land transfer taxes.” Even if you can sell the house when you move, making enough to pay for those expenses doesn’t usually happen in the 2.5 years we military folks stay in one place. This is the one “terrifying” practice I wish we had adopted.

9. Don’t indulge in the baby trance. You’ve probably read that the average cost of raising a baby to age 18 is about $200,000. Crazy! Especially crazy is the way new parents overspend on all the stuff a baby is supposed to need in his or her first year of life. What would happen if you didn’t go on the $10,000 “consumer baby binge.” What would happen if you borrowed most of the stuff you needed for your baby or bought it used? 10. Don’t mix money and emotion. O’Leary is famous for saying that money and tears don’t mix. He points out that we get into the worst trouble of our financial lives through emotional spending – especially when we lend money to friends or family. Instead he said that you never lend, you only give the amount of money you can comfortable afford never seeing again. A skinflint lifestyle? When I read back over this list, it looks like a bit of an anorexic life to me. No marriage? No dog? No baby stuff? No car? No years spent reading and writing and talking about big ideas in class? No sparkly engagement ring? What kind of life is that? Some of the things we “wasted” money on I would do again and again – especially my Liberal Arts education ... I liked each of my majors and therefore I finished my degrees (which fewer than half of all students do). For the record, O’Leary’s undergrad degree is in Psychology. But I think most of the things that we bought would have worked out better if we made those purchases later. If we had just put off most of those purchases for a single year, it would have made a significant difference. Thinking so far out of the box that you approach outrageous ideas is sometimes a good thing. What would you add to the list of things you would or would not do?

CNP attends OCS graduation By Lt. Brandon Walker Ofﬁcer Training Command Newport Public Affairs

NEWPORT, R.I.

The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) visited Officer Training Command Newport (OTCN) to review the graduation of newly commissioned officers of Officer Candidate School (OCS), June 27. Vice Adm. Bill F. Moran commissioned 32 new ensigns during the OCS graduation at the Capt. Howard N. Kay Hall aboard Naval Station Newport. Before introducing CNP, Capt. Kevin McGowan, commander of OTCN, told the newly commissioned officers the commission carries with it a great burden of responsibility. “This is a call to great deeds of service,” said McGowan. “This is no small affair – it is a lifelong promise and we are honored to be here to bear witness to it.” Moran thanked the hundreds of friends and family members in attendance for their support and he looked encouragingly to the future. “This class is joining a Navy at the front end of a maritime decade, if not a maritime century,” said Moran. He also emphasized the forward nature of a modern Navy with forces deployed around the globe, affirming that, “All are poised to act if called upon, and many of you will be joining them shortly.” Moran then stressed his confidence in the graduates’ own readiness, assuring them that, “This ceremony and the solemn oath you’re about to take are a sign of the faith your country has in you, faith that you’ll answer the bell when your number is called.”

He next prepared the candidates to take the oath of office by highlighting its meaning and purpose. “It is about swearing allegiance to an idea, to principles on a piece of paper, conceived by great men who saw a better world than one ruled by kings and despots.” After these remarks, Moran led the class in the recitation of the oath followed by the traditional tossing of their covers in the air. The class then received their first salutes from their drill instructor, Marine Gunnery Sgt. Sebastiano Siino and their Class Chief Petty Officer, Chief Naval Aircrewman James Davis. “I enjoyed that Vice Adm. Moran had a lot of insight on the training we went through and the obstacles we had to overcome.” said Ensign Kristoffer Abonal, a newly commissioned Intelligence Officer from Los Angeles, Calif., who will now report to Dam Neck for follow on training. Ensign Eric Providakes agreed with his fellow graduate saying, “The speech was very motivating, it created a drive to succeed.” OTC is overseen by the Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), headquartered at Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois. NSTC manages all initial Navy officer and enlisted accessions training except for the U.S. Naval Academy. OTC conducts five officer accession training schools and is located on board Naval Station Newport. The five schools consist of Officer Candidate School (OCS); the Officer Development School; Direct Commission Officer Indoctrination School; Limited Duty Officer and Chief Warrant Officer Academy and the Seaman-to-Admiral school.

Commanders and U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructors also provide training assistance for these schools, especially with the academic and physical training of the candidates and students. The mission of OTC is to

develop civilians and ﬂeet Sailors into newly commissioned ofﬁcers morally, mentally, and physically and imbue them with the highest ideals of honor, courage, and commitment in order to prepare graduates for service in

the fleet as naval officers. NSTC also oversees the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps at more than 160 colleges and universities, and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps

citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide. NSTC is also ultimately in charge of Recruit Training Command, the Navy’s only boot camp, also located at Naval Station Great Lakes.

U.S. Naval Academy inducts class of 2018 Naval Academy Public Affairs ANNAPOLIS, MD.

Summer vacation ended early on July 1 for the 1,192 men and women who were inducted into the U.S. Naval Academy’s Class of 2018. Induction Day, or I-Day, marks the beginning of the arduous sixweek indoctrination period called Plebe Summer. More than 17,600 students applied to the Class of 2018. The new class includes 303 women – 25 percent of the incoming class. This represents the largest number of women to be inducted at the Naval Academy since the academy was founded in 1845. Among the new plebes are 13 international students from 12 countries: Cambodia, Cameroon, the Federated States of Micronesia, Georgia, Mexico, Montenegro, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. Sixty-seven new plebes are prior-enlisted, including 57 Navy Sailors and 10 Marines. During I-Day, the plebes receive uniforms and military haircuts, undergo medical evaluations, learn to render a salute, and

complete their registration. They each receive a copy of “Reef Points,” a 225-page handbook of information about the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the Naval Academy’s history and traditions, their administrative chain of command, and the general orders of a sentry. New midshipmen are required to memorize virtually all of the more than 1,000 facts outlined in the book. I-Day concluded when the midshipmen took the oath of ofﬁce in front of their family, friends and new classmates during a ceremony in Tecumseh Court. After the ceremony, plebes said goodbye to their families who will not see them again until Plebe Parents Weekend, Aug. 7-10. With the conclusion of I-Day, Plebe Summer ofﬁcially begins. During this time, plebes start each day at dawn with mandatory physical training. The remainder of each day is packed with drills and instruction on the military lifestyle and more physical training. The plebes are allotted minimal leisure time. During these six weeks, the plebes are led and trained by upperclass midshipmen. Instruction includes seamanship, boat

handling, navigation and small arms training. This indoctrination period is designed to help plebes develop discipline, honor, character, self-reliance and organization, providing them with the foundation to become midshipmen and successful military leaders. Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Mike Miller spoke to the upperclass midshipmen leading Plebe Summer, June 27, about their responsibilities as leaders of the newest group of midshipmen. “If we’re doing this right, the goal will be to turn over to the next set the most prepared, the most physically fit, the most motivated group that we can possibly produce. That’s the metric,” he said. “How much can we teach them in this short period of time? It’s a lot. And it will change their lives.” Miller urged the first and second class midshipmen to take advantage of what he called the first real opportunity to apply what they have learned about leadership. “It’s an enormous responsibility,” he said. “It’s good to learn, and it’s good to continue to grow. This is great leadership laboratory we afford you.You should grow as much as they do.”

Each year in June, the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) invites a select group of young men and women from around the nation to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar (NASS). This fast-paced, six-day leadership experience is designed to recruit rising high school seniors who are considering applying for appointment to the Naval Academy. The NASS teaches prospective applicants about the life of midshipmen at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training are key elements in developing our nation’s Naval leaders. Students live in the dormitory, eat in the dining hall and participate in a variety of activities that introduce them to the daily routine at the Naval Academy, which is quite unlike the typical college campus. The academic program is designed to attract students to subjects that make up the core of the Naval Academy curriculum. Students choose eight 90-minute workshops from a wide variety of topics. The 2014 NASS featured workshops in Information Technology, Math, Meteorology and Oceanography, Robotics, Computers and Naval Weapons Systems, Electrical and Biometrics Engineering, Ship Behavior in Waves, Ocean Engineering, Cyber Operations, Mechanical Engineer-

ing, Aeronautical Engineering, Astronautical Engineering, Chemistry of Photography, Chemistry, Foreign Languages, History, Political Science, Introduction to Literature, Economics, Physics, Character Development Seminars, Martial Arts, and Seamanship and Navigation. The project-based modules allow students to participate in solving design and analysis problems at the Naval Academy’s world-class laboratory facilities, which provide a unique learning environment outside the traditional classroom. The athletic program features daily physical training including group runs and conditioning exercises. The students take the same physical ﬁtness test that the midshipmen must pass. In addition, students participate in seamanship and navigation classes, learning naval skills and practicing leadership skills. Naval Academy midshipmen lead the NASS with oversight by active duty Navy and Marine Corps ofﬁcers, giving the students a chance to interact, ask questions, and learn what the Naval Academy and Naval Service are all about. The experience culminates in a cruise aboard a Navy Yard Patrol Craft where students have the opportunity to apply some of the skills they learned in class.

BIOFUEL

| Navy plans

for biofuel to make up 50 percent of fuel by 2016 Continued from B1 Moreover, these alternative fuels must be cost-competitive with petroleum fuel and have lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions that are no worse than conventional fuels while also complying with existing procurement, energy, health and safety laws and regulations. Biofuels can be made from a variety of feedstocks, including crop residues, woody biomass, dedicated energy crops, vegetable oils, animal fats, and algae. Simonpietri also made the important point that biofuel production must complement rather than compete with food crops. The “drop-in biofuel” the Defense Department wants is not the same as the familiar ethanol and biodiesel – firstand second-generation biofuels – that are used in cars and trucks. What the Defense Department is pursuing is thirdgeneration biofuel “drop-in” replacements for diesel and jet fuels that are used in aircraft and ships. These biofuels are much more advanced, have far less oxygen than ethanol and biodiesel, and contain the same energy density as their petroleum-based counterparts. Chris Tindal, director for operational energy in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, said that in RIMPAC 2012 the Navy successfully demonstrated the Great Green Fleet, operating a carrier strike group’s surface ships and aircraft with a biofuel blend without incident. In fact, the Great Green Fleet 2012 demonstration was a significant milestone of the Navy’s testing and certification program for “drop-in” biofuels derived from used cooking oils and algae. The next milestone, Tindal said, is 2016, when the Navy intends to “sail the Great Green Fleet 2016.” Rather than one group of ships, he said, the Navy plans for biofuels to comprise up to 50 percent of the fuel used by deploying ships and aircraft throughout the fleet in

calendar year 2016. Procurement has already begun for advanced drop-in biofuels. Selection of platforms and locations for the 2016 effort will happen later. However, biofuel use in the Navy will not end at the conclusion of 2016 after the sailing of the Great Green Fleet, as “it will mark the start of the Navy’s ‘new normal,’” said Tindal. Leading up to that milestone, the Navy has already issued solicitations for operational quantities of alternative fuel in the Western U.S. and Western Pacific. Alternative fuels could be purchased and distributed through Navy oilers as early as January 2015. He and Simonpietri stressed that in order to be accepted for Defense Department use, biofuels or biofuel blends must be virtually indistinguishable from their fossil fuel equivalents. Because of that, participants in RIMPAC 2016 could very well be operating on biofuels without needing to be aware of it. Tindal and Simonpietri encouraged the foreign members of the audience to facilitate government cooperation, and offered to share U.S. test and certification data for alternative fuels. They also encouraged the officers to consider future possibilities where their nation could both supply fuel to the U.S. Department of Defense and produce it for their own military and aviation use. RIMPAC is a multinational maritime exercise that takes place in and around the Hawaiian islands and Southern California. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships, six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in the biennial exercise from June 26 - Aug. 1. The world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps foster and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security in the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

Neoguri a ‘once in a lifetime storm’

Continued from B1 “Right now were ﬁnishing up securing the camp, tying up and putting away anything that is not immobile so that nothing will become a projectile hazard throughout Camp Shields,” said NMCB 1 Command Master Chief Dean Fischer. Although Super Typhoon Neoguri is developing into a “once in a lifetime storm,” with winds already gusting at more than 250 km an hour (150 mph) according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the Seabees are adept in natural disaster preparation and the relief efforts, which may be needed in the storm’s aftermath. “Typhoon season pretty much aligns with hurricane season back home in Mississippi, so Gulfport Seabees have a very long history of dealing with TCCOR [tropical storm condition of readiness] conditions,” said Fischer. “All of the engineering assets on Okinawa will be in contact before, during and after the storm coordinating anything they would need,” said Fischer. “For us, the primary mission would be to support the Navy bases, the Marine Corps and the Air Force bases.” Typhoon season ofﬁcially runs from June 1 through November 30. According to AccuWeather.com meteorologists, Neoguri will still be a super typhoon when it crosses the

gap between the Ryukyu Islands of Miyako Jima and Okinawa. NMCB 1 Sailors are making the best of a stormy outlook, preparing to bunker down in their barracks until they receive an all-clear notice from their chain of command. “I will take accountability of all of the personnel in my building and continue to maintain their safety throughout the storm and make sure they have food and water,” said said Yeoman 1st Class Johnny Turner. “Our mustering point will be in our lounge area where we will meet and get accountability to the command mustering point of contact and while we ride out the storm, it will be an opportunity for us to bond, relax after working hard to secure the base.” Camp Shields ofﬁcer in charge Utilitiesman Master Chief Benno Lederer said that because of NMCB 1’s diligent efforts in preparing for the typhoon, Camp Shields is braced for the storm well ahead of schedule. “All NMCB 1 and 30th Naval Construction Regiment typhoon preparations are done and we are prepared for the storm,” said Lederer. “We will begin lock down for TCCOR I late [July 7 or early July 8] and are expected to be in that state until late Wednesday or Thursday. NMCB 1 has done an exceptional job in camp preparation well ahead of CNRJ/CNFJ requirements. Bravo Zulu to them!”

Despite a looming threat from Hurricane Arthur as the storm continued to make its way up the eastern seaboard, USS Constitution got underway in Boston Harbor in celebration of Americaâ€™s 238th birthday, July 4. More than 300 guests accompanied the 216-year-old Constitution on her second scheduled underway demonstration of 2014, including 150 winners of Constitutionâ€™s annual 4th of July public lottery drawing. â€œThe Crew and I were thrilled to be able to take Old Ironsides and her guests underway today on our nationâ€™s Independence Day,â€? said Cmdr. Sean Kearns, Constitutionâ€™s 73rd commanding ofďŹ cer. â€œWe monitored the progress of Hurricane Arthur closely all week long and had contingency plans in place to postpone the underway if the stormâ€™s track presented a safety concern.

Fortunately, the stormâ€™s track took it far enough out into the Atlantic that it posed no threat from winds or seas, and we also beneďŹ ted from a window of time with little to no rain during our underway today. All together it combined to allow for a fantastic event and a ďŹ tting tribute to our great nation.â€? Old Ironsidesâ€™ three-hour tour of the harbor began at 10 a.m. and was highlighted by the ďŹ ring of two gun salutes from the shipâ€™s saluting batteries. The ďŹ rst was a 21-gun salute near Fort Independence on Castle Island, South Boston in honor of the United States. After the completion of the salute aboard Constitution, a saluting battery manned by Massachusetts National Guard Soldiers at Fort Independence then replied with a 21-gun salute of their own. While returning to her Charlestown berth, Constitution then performed a 17-gun salute, in honor of the city of Boston, Constitutionâ€™s birthplace, while passing U.S.

Coast Guard Base Boston. The area now occupied by the base is the former site of the Edmund Hartt Shipyard, where Old Ironsides was originally launched on Oct. 21, 1797. The shots honored the 16 states that comprised America at the time of Constitutionâ€™s launch, with an additional shot in honor of the warship herself. During the underway demonstration, Constitutionâ€™s crew also twice performed passing honors with Harpers Ferry-class dock landing ship USS Oak Hill (LSD-51), which is visiting Boston as part of Harborfest 2014 festivities. Cmdr. Bryan Carmichael, Oak Hillâ€™s commanding ofďŹ cer, was one of several distinguished guests aboard Constitution during the underway, along with ďŹ ve of Constitutionâ€™s former commanding ofďŹ cers. This will be Constitutionâ€™s ďŹ nal Independence Day underway demonstration until 2018, as she is scheduled to enter dry dock in early 2015 for planned restoration work. â€œThis yearâ€™s underway had a much different feel compared to last year, mostly because I know it wonâ€™t be happening again for several years after this,â€? said Seaman Brianna Date, a Constitution Sailor who stood forward lookout watch atop the shipâ€™s foremast during the July 4 cruise. â€œHonestly, I was most nervous about it being too hot up there as opposed to it raining, but luckily mother nature held off just long enough for (the crew) to be able to pull (the underway) off without a hitch. It was a wonderful experience being aboard the ship today.â€? Constitutionâ€™s next two underway demonstrations are scheduled for late August as part of the shipâ€™s annual Chief Petty OfďŹ cer Heritage Weeks.

PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII

The U.S. Navy Surgeon General and Chief of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan visited the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19), June 29, while it is in port for Rim of the PaciďŹ c (RIMPAC). While aboard, Nathan had brunch with Mercyâ€™s ofďŹ cers and senior enlisted members, and toured the shipâ€™s various facilities, including casualty reception, operating room complex, the ďŹ‚ight deck and inside one of Mercyâ€™s Fassmer Life/Tender Boats. During brunch, Nathan addressed the attendees, emphasizing the special charge they have been given to care and medically provide for people during humanitarian missions and disaster relief efforts. â€œWhat separates Navy medical personnel from the rest of the population is their readiness,â€? said Nathan. â€œTheir willingness to jump off and go where needed in a momentâ€™s notice and stay however long it takes.â€? Nathan spoke on a personal level with many medical ofďŹ cers, hospital corpsmen and ďŹ‚ight deck personnel during his tour of the hospital. â€œThe visit by the Navyâ€™s surgeon general and his interactions with our crew allows him to get a feel for our corpsmen and staff,â€? said Capt. Veronica Armstrong, director

of nursing services aboard Mercy. â€œItâ€™s also a wonderful opportunity for the crew to see that big Navy is interested and supportive of what we are doing and reinforces our overall mission.â€? Nathan also spoke about Mercyâ€™s inaugural participation in RIMPAC and the effect it has had on bringing other countriesâ€™ military medical ships and personnel together. â€œMercyâ€™s presence at RIMPAC recognizes Navy Medicine as a signiďŹ cant player on the world stage for

coalition exercises and for support in both kinetic challenges and warfare,â€? said Nathan. â€œWeâ€™re not just seeing Mercy now, weâ€™re also seeing hospital ships from other nations joining us and partnering together. This shows the world is becoming more global and more engaged together.â€? Twenty-two nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC exercise from June 26 to Aug. 1, in and around the Hawaiian Islands.

â– the exercise The worldâ€™s largest international maritime exercise, Rim of the PaciďŹ c (RIMPAC) provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the worldâ€™s oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet hosted the inaugural Rim of the PaciďŹ c (RIMPAC) Military Medicine Symposium aboard the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, July 1-2. The medicine symposium, organized by Canadian military medical ofďŹ cials, is one of numerous events taking place during the biennial RIMPAC, the worldâ€™s largest international maritime exercise. During the symposium, the Navyâ€™s Surgeon General and Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan, spoke about RIMPACâ€™s ultimate objective and the international military medical communityâ€™s role in it. â€œRIMPAC engenders so many countries and so many different maritime organizations all working together for two things: one is to respond to crises in the world and the other is to break down barriers, get to know each other and create more security across the PaciďŹ c Rim and the entire world,â€? said Nathan. â€œThe fact that the medical response arena has gained prominence in RIMPAC means that when catastrophic issues happen in the PaciďŹ c Rim, be they natural or manmade, we can be all for one and one for all when responding.â€? The symposium provides a forum for the international military medical community to learn and share about the successes and lessons learned from the diverse experiences represented by RIMPACâ€™s participating nations. â€œItâ€™s an opportunity to exchange lessons learned from recent operations,â€? said Canadian Army Lt. Col. Nicholas Withers, combined force maritime component commander surgeon, the organizer of the symposium. â€œWe want to make sure we optimize health outcomes for everybody involved.â€? More than 120 international

medical ofďŹ cials representing 12 nations attended the ďŹ rst day of the symposium. Service members from Austria, Brunei, Canada, China, Columbia, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore and South Korea were present. The symposium provides an opportunity for the military medical community to network with their partner nations, so that in a real-world scenario, nations would be able to operate more efďŹ ciently and become more familiar with other countriesâ€™ method of operations, said Withers. â€œItâ€™s a big opportunity to be with different nations,â€? Mexican Navy Ensign Tmas Bastida, doctor of medicine assigned to the ocean patrol vessel Armada Repblica Mexicano Revolucin (PO-164). â€œFor us as medical ofďŹ cers, itâ€™s important to know how other countries operate in case we have to engage with other nations.â€? Due to the medical ďŹ eld constantly advancing, an additional goal of the symposium is for nations to share their newest medical practices. â€œWeâ€™re also looking to distribute the best practices in military medicine,â€? said Withers. â€œMedicine is a very dynamic ďŹ eld, as such weâ€™re learning new things every day. We want to make sure we can capture those lessons weâ€™ve learned and share them with our neighbors to ensure weâ€™re providing the best care.â€? Various symposium presentations were given by military medical personnel ranging from topics such as the deployment of hospital ships in disaster relief operations, to the management of legionella contaminated water aboard a Norwegian naval vessel. â€œOne of the highlights of the symposium was the address by our Chinese compatriots on their Peace Ark,â€? said Withers. â€œThey provided a wonderful brief on the capabilities of that ship. Itâ€™s a unique insight into both their culture and the hospital ship itself.â€?

Continued from C1 Secret Agent Sneak AttacK July 24 (“Spy Kids”) There are spies among us. Gather your team and join us for an evening of fun and adventure. Some teams will be designated “spies” and some will be “defenders.” The defenders must keep the spies from blowing up “Big Ben.” Movie synopsis: Spy Kids (PG) – The greatest pair of secret agents are masters of disguise and have the ability to prevent wars, but eventually they want to settle down and begin raising a family. Nine years later, after retiring and giving up the lives of super-spies, Gregorio and Ingrid ﬁnd themselves at the call of duty again when techno-genius Fegan Floop (Alan Cumming) and his insidious, ruthless sidekick Minion (Tony Shalhoub) make plans for world destruction. The only hope for Gre-

gorio and Ingrid are their children, Carmen and Juni, who are called upon to save their missing parents, eventually learning their former identities. Rowdy Round-Up Aug. 7 (“Despicable Me 2”) How many villains can your team “capture?” Be the team to bring the most “criminals” to justice, and you could win the highest Anti-Villain League rank.

Dusty spends most of his days flying low, but his eyes are always turned up toward the clouds. Sadly, Dusty’s modest engine and intense fear of heights make a career in racing a long shot at best. Things begin to look up for Dusty, however, when a veteran aviator helps him qualify for a race against the reigning circuit champ. Now if Dusty can just learn to let go of his fears, his checkered flagged dreams may finally come true.

Bathroom organization styles that work smarter, not harder Brandpoint

Hairdryers, toothbrushes, combs, hair brushes and picks. Shaving utensils, makeup, styling products and perfumes. The collection of grooming and beauty tools cluttering the bathroom vanity can quickly overwhelm everything, making the space unusable for guests and creating difficulty in finding the tools you need. The bathroom should be a functional room that works for you. It’s where you start and end your day, so you want the space to give you energy and focus, not throw you off your routine because you can’t find what you need. This is the perfect time of year to get organized, so why not start in the bathroom? The first step is to consider the entire room space. Does the vanity, mirror or shelving unit provide the storage space and accessibility you need for all your grooming items? If not, it may be time to personalize your bathroom space to accommodate everyone who uses the room. Here are some ways to create a personalized and stylish bathroom: Separate grooming areas – If you share a bathroom with someone who rises at the same time as you in the morning, it can

■ going green in the bathroom There are a trifecta of water-saving opportunities in the bathroom. By installing a low-flow showerhead, a lowflow faucet aerator, and a dual-flush toilet, you’ll save thousands of gallons of water each year. To really go for the gusto, and go for a water-free toilet, check out composting toilets. – www.treehugger.com Courtesy of Brandpoint

quickly get congested in the room. Choosing a vanity with two sinks and related storage space is one solution to create better space and prevent grooming tools from getting mixed up or lost. The right fit – When incorporating a new vanity into your bath, it’s often difficult to find the right fit in size, style and functionality. You want a vanity that holds all the extra supplies needed in the bathroom – extra shampoo, clean towels, toilet paper and tissues – so they’re available for residents and guests alike. Plus you want something that

matches the decor you already have in the room. Kohler’s Tailored Vanity Collection provides several size options, conﬁgurations and wood ﬁnishes as well as top materials in a variety of shapes and colors to perfectly blend into your bathroom style. Smart storage – Drawers and shelves in the vanity provide a great way to keep all your grooming tools within reach, and they can still be hidden away so guests can use the bathroom without seeing all of your clutter. Kohler’s Tailored Vanity Collection allows

you to customize the look and use of your vanity, making it ﬁt with your unique style. You can design the storage space with trays and dividers to best work for you. This also applies to the adjustable shelves, roll-out drawers and optional built-in electric outlets for the interior. Organization can be the key to a successful day. With all of these storage options in your bathroom, you’ll be able to ﬁnd the grooming tool you need when you need it, so you can start the day off right.

ARIC ALMIROLA RACES TO FIRST SPRINT CUP WIN AT HOME TRACK By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Among the keepsakes that Trent Owens collected back in the day, when he was traveling to NASCAR races with his aunt and uncle, Lynda and Richard Petty, was a photograph from Victory Lane at Daytona in July 1984, when Richard Petty won his 200th Sprint Cup race. In that photo, Owens, whose late father Randy was Lynda’s brother, is standing in front of the famed No. 43, holding the checkered flag. Thirty years and two days later, Owens posed for more photos with the 43 in Victory Lane at Daytona. This time he was the team’s crew chief, and his driver, Aric Almirola, had just held off a pack of drivers including Kurt Busch and Brian Vickers to be in front when rains halted the Coke Zero 400 after 112 of the scheduled 160 laps on July 6. It was the first win at the Cup level for both Owens and Almirola, and the first for the 43 since JohnAndretti won at Martinsville in 1999. Owens, whose father died in a pit road explosion at Talladega Superspeedway in 1975, said in the winner’s interviews that he’s happy just to be working as a crew chief in NASCAR’s elite division. To take his family’s car back to Victory Lane in his rookie season is even better, he said. “To be on the 43 car, to be in Victory Lane here in Daytona in July, it’s really special,” he said. “I enjoy working with Aric. It’s going

good, and we’re going to try to build some momentum for this Chase thing.” Under the new format for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, a regular season win essentially assures a team of one of the 16 Chase berths. Owens went on to say how much it means to him to be working on the iconic No. 43. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity I’ve been given on the 43 car,” he said. “Obviously, being a family member, it’s a number that I grew up with, I grew up watching. The King provided me work during the summers when I was in high school to learn the ins and outs of racing.” “It feels like home to come back,” he continued. “It was a very comforting transition from Nationwide to Sprint Cup with the 43 car, and these guys did a really good job through the interview process and making sure I made the right decision. I feel like I

have, and I’m enjoying it, and this win will be hard to top, probably ever.” For Almirola, his ﬁrst Cup win was especially rewarding for entirely different reasons. It came at his home track – one just two hours from where he grew up in Tampa, Fla. And he won carrying the colors of his sponsor, the U.S. Air Force, which was special because he was born at Eglin Air Force Base near Panama City in the Panhandle. “Of all the places I could pick to win, I would pick Daytona, because I grew up two hours away,” he said. “I’ve sat in these grandstands and watched the Daytona 500. I’ve watched the Firecracker 400s. My family and I have loaded up every Christmas night after we’d eat Christmas dinner and we’d drive over here and get ready for Kart Week, from the time I was 8 years old until I was probably 16 years old.”

Talking with Seth Rollins prior to WWE’s upcoming visit to Richmond Coliseum By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer

Just six days prior to its Battleground payper-view event, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is presenting an episode of Monday Night Raw from the Richmond Coliseum, July 14. Many big name WWE Superstars and Divas will be on hand to entertain the crowd. A man whose stock in WWE has risen as of late is Seth Rollins. A former member of The Shield, Rollins has since aligned himself with The Authority of WWE. Rollins took some time to discuss his career with me in a recent interview, starting with his appreciation for the military: Seth Rollins: We appreciate what y’all do. We couldn’t do what we do without you guys doing what you do. It’s a mutual respect. I’m glad we’ve got fans that walk the lines. Jonathan McLarty: Do you have any favorite memories from your time on the independent wrestling scene? SR: The friends that I made there – now being able to see my friends here working with me. Guys like Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, and you’ve got Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville down in NXT – watching people grow and being a part of that. I enjoyed my time on the indies very much. JM: Did someone put the thought in your ear to pursue working for WWE, or did

(WWE) come after you? SR: This is something I always wanted to do. I kind of had a timeline in my head about where I wanted to be (based on) years in my career. My contract was up at Ring of Honor and I was a Ring of Honor champion – strike while the iron is hot and make the jump. It turned out to be a smart move for me. JM: Given your position now and your pairing with Triple H, you probably have a lot of time off camera with him as well. Does that open you up to a lot of learning opportunities? SR: There is a wealth of knowledge in this company. Being side by side with the COO and (13-time) World Champion, the guy who has pretty much done it all in this business, having him as a mentor is something that you can’t buy. If you’re not learning something every single day, you’re messing up. JM: With your character change, you’ve gotten new entrance music. I know whenever someone gets new music, it takes some time for the fans to adapt to it. How does that work for you, the wrestler? SR: It took me a little while, even just walking down the ramp instead of through the crowd is a little weird at first. With the music, you have to find out how it flows with your entrance. I think now, after about a month or so, it’s starting to catch on and I kind of like the way it feels. JM: With your entering from the stage

now, does it put you at ease knowing that you don’t run the risk of tripping over the barricade anymore? SR: Ha! Well, they fixed the barricade. That’ll probably never happen again. The one that I hopped over and ruined my night was a little faulty. They bought some new ones and fixed it up. But yes, it is nice to know I won’t have to deal with that anymore. JM: Is there any significance behind the blonde streak in your hair? SR: When I was down in NXT, there were a lot of guys with long dark hair – Roman Reigns, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas. I needed to do something to set myself apart a little bit. If you’re seeing the show for the first time and there are five guys with long dark hair, it’s going to be difficult to remember who is who. JM: With your winning the Money in the Bank contract, is that briefcase something you have to carry with you when you travel, similar to a championship? SR: Oh yes, that’s with me all over. It’ll be part of my carry-on luggage at the airport. I don’t know what I’ll end up putting in there to maximize my space. I don’t want to be carrying that big stupid thing empty. That seems like a waste, right? JM: How exciting is it knowing that you’re the only man in WWE right now that can have a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at anytime, anyplace, for the next year?

Courtesy of WWE Seth Rollins joined the WWE after winning the Ring of Honor championship. He recently won the Money in the Bank contract, which will allow him to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.

SR: That’s very exciting. There’s no better position to be in, unless you’re the champ himself. It’s nice. You’d rather be the hunter than the hunted. Tickets for Monday Night Raw in Richmond start at just $15 and WWE offers complimentary tickets to active duty service members at the arena box ofﬁce on the day of the event, while supplies last. WWE presents “Battleground” on pay-per-view and via the WWE Network on July 20. The event will be headlined by a Fatal Four Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The champion, John Cena, will be defending against Kane, Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns. Connect with Jonathan McLarty on Twitter (@JonathanMcLarty) or at McLartyPhoto.Zenfolio.com.
