Working with health and government partners in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Honduras, the embarked medical team will provide care on board and at land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems caused partly by an increase in cross-border migrants. The development reﬂects the United States’ enduring promise of friendship, partnership and solidarity with the Americas.

USNS Comfort departs for Medical Assistance Mission in South and Central America By Lt. j.g. Chelsea Dietlin NORFOLK

U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) departed Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, Oct. 10, on an 11-week medical assistance mission to South and Central America where personnel will work closely with host-nation health and government partners in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Honduras. The purpose of the deployment is to help relieve pressure on host nation medical systems partly due to an increase in migrants crossing their borders and provide care to the appropriate communities. “This mission marks the sixth time the hospital ship will provide medical assistance in the region and reﬂects the United States’ enduring promise of friendship, partnership and solidarity with the Americas,” said Commander, 4th Fleet, Rear Admiral Sean Buck at the ship’s pier-side departure announcement. “The return of USNS Comfort is but one way the United States is honoring that promise. By working together with our partner nation security forces and civilian agencies, we achieve effective solutions to common challenges.” Since 2007, the hospital ship has visited 18 nations in the Caribbean, Central America and South America. During those missions, military medical professionals worked with host nation and civilian partners to provide medical treatment to nearly 390,000 people, including more than 6,000 surgeries. “Comfort last deployed in 2015. I can tell you that those members of the crew who have participated in the past are thrilled to be a part of this latest mission and those of us who have never taken part in a Comfort mission, are extremely excited to be here today,” said Buck. He added, “The foundation of our successful cooperation is trust and shared values. We build trust every day as we engage with partners in support of different missions.” The mission’s crew includes more than 200 U.S. and part-

ner nation military doctors, nurses and technicians. In addition, about 60 medical and dental professional volunteers from non-governmental organizations will be on board to support the medical assistance mission. They will be joined by a smaller team of civil service mariners who will oversee the ship’s operation and navigation. During the mission, USNS Comfort will visit Esmeraldas, Ecuador; Peru (port to be determined); Riohacha and Turbo in Colombia; and Puerto Castilla, Honduras. During each visit, Comfort’s medical team expects to treat approximately 750 patients per day at each medical site on shore, and anticipate conducting up to 20 surgeries per day aboard the vessel. Specific dates for each port visit will be announced several days prior to the hospital ship’s arrival. As part of the planning for USNS Comfort’s mission, health ministries in each country will select patients with medical needs that can be evaluated and treated by the hospital ship’s onboard surgical services and capabilities. Other medical services will be available to individuals on a firstcome, first-served basis at the USNS Comfort’s land-based medical sites. Health services provided in this year’s USNS Comfort deployment include general surgery, ophthalmological surgery, dermatology, medical evaluation and treatment, preventive medicine, dental screenings and treatment, optometry screenings, eyewear distribution and public health. Medical capabilities aboard the hospital ship include surgical and post-surgical rooms, a CAT-scan unit, four X-ray machines, a dental suite, an optometry lab, a physical therapy area, two oxygen-producing plants and a 5,000-unit blood bank.

ANNUAL GRUNT RUN SPARKS HEALTHY

Photos by MC2 Joshua Tolbert Sailors, Marines, Department of Defense employees, and their dependents participate in the Grunt Run Obstacle Course at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads Northwest Annex (NWA). The Grunt Run is an annual obstacle course event hosted by NSA Hampton Roads NWA consisting of a six-mile run with 15 different obstacles.

By MC2 Joshua Tolbert Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads Public Affairs CHESAPEAKE, VA.

More than 200 runners competed in the annual Grunt Run on Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads Northwest Annex (NWA), Oct. 13. The event, which consisted of 15 different obstacles through a 6.5-mile course, was sponsored by the Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) department. The run was free and open to all Department of Defense cardholders and their families. “My favorite part is seeing the best come out of people,” said Kimberly Wood, the MWR Fitness Program Director for NSA Hampton Roads NWA. “Runners crossed the ﬁnish line and then double back to cross again with their shipmate – people helped others tackle difﬁcult obstacles.” Wood noted that a lot of planning and coordination goes into making events like this a success, and the additional obstacles this year made it more challenging for the competitors. “We took it up a notch this year,” she said. “The trail course is already challenging, but we incorporated cargo net climbs, repel

walls, hill runs, monkey bars, and even a warped wall.” Throughout the run Marines observed runners as they navigated the trails, and some lent a helping hand to participants who needed assistance on the more difﬁcult obstacles with rough terrain, mud pits, swamps and other challenges. Marines also helped children through the “Runt Grunt” obstacle course portion, which was designed for children 12 years and under. “It was great seeing the Marines helping both the adults and kids through the obstacles,” said Operations Specialist 2nd Class Erica Schnitkey. “It was a fun challenge and a great experience for everyone!” After the race, MWR provided complimentary food, beverages and music for the participants. There were also plenty of activities for the children, such as an inﬂatable slide, a bounce house and a rock-climbing wall. “I’m very happy with the outcome,” Wood explained. “I hope [the participants] had a great time and they come back for next year’s Grunt Run.” For more information on upcoming run, visit www.navymwrmidlant.com /events/ runs-races.

Military Citizen of the Year From Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs NORFOLK

The Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce (HRCC) presented the 56th annual Samuel T. Northern Military Citizen of the Year (MCOY) award to Coast Guard Petty Ofﬁcer 2nd Class Elizabeth Kirlin, at the Norfolk Marriott Waterside, Oct. 12. Named after local businessman Samuel T. Northern, the MCOY award recognizes Sailors who have outstanding ties to the community through volunteer work. “Today is about much more than simply presenting an award. It’s an opportunity to recognize and pay respect to some of the most giving, caring, and selﬂess men and women in our community,” said Bryan Stephens, President and CEO of the Hampton Roads Chamber. Kirlin, assigned to U.S. Coast Guard Security Center 2, Volunteered more than 1,000 hours in service to the Hampton Roads area as an active participant in an outreach program at Treakle Elementary School ensuring struggling students receive one-on-one mentoring. Kirlin explained how she felt when you heard her name called to be honored the MCOY award.

“Standing with my fellow military members from all different branches, waiting for the MCOY to be called, I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be my name they called,” said Kirlin. “To be honest I was genuinely surprised and honored to be recognized.” Kirlin further shared her past experiences that motivated her to be an active member of society. “The community service that I do is essential for the community, not me. I do it because I believe it is my calling to give back as much as was given to me,” Kirlin explained. “I was in the foster care system, without the support of Food Banks and community outreach programs like Big Brothers/Big Sisters, I would have been lost.” In addition to family and friends, the Honorable, Senator Lionell Spruill, representing the 5th District in November 2016, and local ofﬁcials attended the ceremony honoring these service members. Spruill expressed his gratitude and explained how important our military is in the Hampton Roads community and shared that his son is currently an ofﬁcer serving in the Navy in his keynote speech. The HRCC awards the MCOY annually. This year 20 candidates were nominated from various sea and shore commands.

Military Appreciation Day Event at Children’s Museum By Story by Max Lonzanida Naval History and Heritage Command PORTSMOUTH, VA.

In 1972, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt authorized ofﬁcial recognition of Oct. 13 as the birthday of the U.S. Navy. Since then, each Chief of Naval Operations has encouraged a Navy-wide celebration of this occasion “to enhance a greater appreciation of our Navy heritage, and to provide a positive inﬂuence toward pride and professionalism in the naval service.” Commands throughout the Hampton Roads region commemorated the day with historical presentations regarding the Navy’s rich history and heritage, speeches, and of course cake. But why settle for the above, when you can showcase how the service was Forged by the Sea by converging on a museum. This was the case this past weekend at the Children’s Museum of Virginia, in Portsmouth, Va.; during the annual Military Ap-

U.S. Navy photo

preciation Day event. The event involved static displays on both floors of the museum, a host of children’s activities, live entertainment, compliments of the U.S. Fleet Forces Brass Band, and a plethora of smiling faces and laughter throughout the day. The event was coordinated by Public Affairs Specialists David Todd and Cathryn Lindsay with Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, and proved to be an event for the record books as hundreds of service members and their families descended on the museum for a day of fun filled activities. Outside the museum, a bright red fire truck and ambulance from the Navy Region MidAtlantic’s Fire and Emergency Services delighted excited children; who were able to climb in the cab, try on the emergency responder gear and turn on the lights and sirens. In the square just in-front of the museum was the Navy’s Underwater Construction Team One and Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit, along with the U.S. Coast Guard and one of their rescue boats for hands on displays which attracted crowds throughout the day. The U.S. Marine Corps brought two of their up-armored HUMVEEs. Many visitors had the opportunity to climb in the turrets and knock on the armored panels. Outside the museum, members of the U.S. Fleet Forces Brass Band, thrilled the young and young atheart with a medley of live music transforming the concrete square into an ad-hoc dance floor; and that was just the displays outside. Indoors, visitors had the opportunity to partake in hands on STEM activities with the Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine’s Unit Two, learn about the hazards of illicit substances from at the Drug Education for Youth booth, and get fingerprinted with the

Upstairs, past the popular bubble display and train exhibits, were live demonstrations from Naval Station Norfolk’s Military Working Dogs, where visitors had the opportunity to pet the MWD Buck and MWD Lion after watching thrilling demonstrations. The Fleet and Family Support Center was onhand with live puppet shows and a plethora of helpful services to service members. Walking around on both ﬂoors was Stewie, the mascot from the U.S. Navy’s Stewards of the Sea exhibit and Andalo, the mascot from the Children’s Museum of Virginia; both delighted visitors who eagerly shook their hands or gave them hugs. Visitors also had the opportunity to check out the U.S. Navy’s Stewards of the Sea exhibit, and pick up some sweet treats from the Naval Information Warfare booth. Rounding out the historical displays were exhibitors from the Portsmouth Light-

| Navy’s birthday celebrated internationally & locally BIRTHDAY

Continued from A1 mon purpose, permits us to operate at this high of a level. To celebrate this Navy birthday at sea, on our way to Trident Juncture to work with our allied and partner navies, is appropriate to the kind of year we have had and our Navy’s ability to respond to regional crises.” In keeping with a time-honored Navy tradition, the birthday celebration began with a cake cutting ceremony. The ﬁrst slice of cake was cut by the youngest Sailor, Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Airman Apprentice Jared Carter and the oldest Sailor, Navy Chaplin Merlin Stephan, signifying the pass down of information from one generation to the next. “I feel very honored to be able to be a part of the New York’s celebration of the Navy’s birthday,” Carter said. “Given the naval history and all the Sailors who have come before me and all the Sailors who come after me, it is a big honor to just be a small part of a much larger picture.” The celebration continued with an ice cream social, followed by a N.A.V.Y. themed Bingo and movie night held in the ship’s chapel. “I feel like it is the best way to celebrate the Navy’s birthday because you are out to sea,” said Yeoman Seaman Apprentice Raashaun Noaks. “There is no better way to celebrate. I think of winning and lots of success but also, when you think of the 243 years, you think of all the people who paid the ultimate sacriﬁce for the Navy. We celebrate this day for them.” Early this year, New York deployed for six months in support of maritime security operations and national security interests in Africa and Europe. After a brief maintenance period, New York left its homeport en route to Newport, Rhode Island, for the 23rd Annual International Seapower Symposium, helping to foster and strengthen global

relationships between the U.S. and over 100 countries around the world. New York most recently departed in support of Trident Juncture, a NATO led exercise taking place in portions of Norway, Sweden and Finland during October and November. Training Support Center (TSC) San Diego members commemorated the birthday Oct. 11 in the TSC San Diego Auditorium where Capt. Michael S. Feyedelem, TSC San Diego’s commanding ofﬁcer, said the Navy’s role has grown since its birth in 1775. “We celebrate what the Navy means to our nation and the contributions that all of you make,” Feyedelem said. “Most nations have an army or land defense force, but the strong nations have a Navy. There are so many times in our history that having a strong Navy has impacted our future.” Additionally, a bell ringing ceremony was conducted, in which ceremonial eight bells rang to signify the end of the current birthday year and were followed by a ceremonial strike of one bell to signify the start of the new birthday year. The celebration at TSC San Diego was concluded with a cake cutting performed by the longest and shortest serving TSC staff

members. In addition, more than 370 Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Monterey Sailors, guests and community members gathered Oct. 5 for the Navy’s birthday. “Sailors need to understand their history,” said Cmdr. Michael Salehi, commanding officer of IWTC Monterey. “They can leverage these lessons for future endeavors.” A birthday ball commemoration was hosted by the IWTC Monterey Navy Ball Committee that spent the last year raising funds and planning the event which included a social hour, dinner, official ceremony and entertainment. The observance included military honors such as parading the colors and the Prisoner of War and Missing in Action remembrance ceremony as well as time honored naval traditions such as the piping aboard of distinguished guests by the honor boatswain. With its large population of new accession Sailors, this year’s ceremony was the first for many IWTC Monterey students. “It is so exciting to be here with fellow shipmates and our senior leaders,” said Seaman Alyssa Decker, an IWTC Monterey student at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC). “I am humbled by this experience; seeing everyone dressed up, enjoying this important night. I feel now that I have an even greater respect and understanding of the Navy.” Guest speaker for the ceremony Capt. James Adkisson III, who served as a cryptologic technician interpretive (CTI) graduating from DLIFLC as a Russian linguist, recalled how his experience as a CTI shaped his approach to leadership. “Being a CTI has given me a better appreciation and understanding of other cultures,” Adkisson said. “This understanding is what lends to our Navy’s diversity. I have served in Europe, Asia and Africa, and the melding of technology, culture and diversity is what truly brings the strength of diversity to our Navy.” Additionally, Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Keesler students, instructors and staff were on hand Oct. 12 at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, for birthday celebrations. The ceremony, led by Electronics Technician 1st Class Bauranege Fleurimond, included a history of the U.S. Navy’s birth. “It’s important to know where we come from,” Fleurimond said. “Our history and heritage is an integral part of our service culture, and today is a great day to share a piece of that with the next generation of Sailors.” Attendees also heard from Cmdr. Timothy Knapp, CNATTU commanding officer. “This year’s ‘Forged by the Sea’ theme fits perfectly with our training mission here at Keesler,” Knapp said. “Many of our course graduates are headed to deployable units.” This year, Aerographer’s Mate Airman Geoffrey Haraway and Chief Aerographer’s Mate Andrew Ribar were honored with the duties of cake cutting. “It’s exciting to be a part of this ceremony today,” Haraway said. “I’m looking forward to graduation and getting out to the fleet and experiencing everything the Navy is offering me.” Meanwhile, Hawaii-based Sailors had a commemoration Oct. 12 at the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument Visitor Center. This year’s theme is “Forged by the Sea” or “Haku ‘la E Ke Kai,” Rear Adm. Brian P. Fort, commander, Navy Region Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific, said adding “Today, our Navy continues to deploy to protect and promote American interests and values around the world. We continue to stand together with our allies against those who would challenge our freedom. And we continue to live by our core values: Honor, courage and commitment.” Navy Region Hawaii kicked-off the com-

When their country called, they answered.” He also thanked Gold Star Families for their enduring strength, dignity and grace. Grady explained the Navy was undeterred by the attack 18 years ago and highlighted how Cole and other U.S. ships continue to remain resolute, ready and lethal. “We will continue to operate forward – shaping the security environment, signaling our resolve and protecting our interests.” Cmdr. James J. Von St. Paul, Cole’s commanding officer, also shared remarks. “Today, we come together to remember our 17 fallen shipmates, to pay homage to their sacrifices and the enduring sacrifices of their families, and to continue our lasting commitment to honoring them through our actions and deeds.” Deployed to the Middle East on this day in 2000, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer stopped briefly for refueling in the port of Aden, Yemen.

memoration with a bell-ringing ceremony. The keynote speaker was Capt. Jeff Bernard, commander of Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam. Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Hawaii’s Sailor of the Year Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) 2nd Class Kristina Nagel was also a guest speaker on a local TV station Oct. 4 sharing her positive experiences while serving in the Navy. As Navy birthday events continued through Oct. 15, the Navy Exchange Mall at Pearl Harbor hosted a celebration including a cake-cutting ceremony, performances by the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band and prizes. Navy Region Hawaii and Navy Information Operations Command Hawaii hosted a Navy ball. The Pearl Harbor Rotary Club hosted a Navy birthday presentation during its meeting at Oahu Country Club. In Honolulu, Sailors and Navy Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (NJROTC) cadets from James Campbell High School participated Oct. 12 in a cake cutting ceremony in honor of the Navy’s birthday. “Today, there is no naval force on the planet that can compare,” Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Commanding Officer Capt. Jeff Bernard said. “It is our men and women in uniform who make U.S. Navy great. These Sailors with us today are proud representatives of America’s Navy with a tradition of excellence that began 243 years ago.” The cadets presented the colors during the ceremony and stuck around afterwards to speak with Sailors. “This was a really great experience for all of us,” NJROTC Petty Officer 3rd Class Maya Beadle said. “It gave us a chance to get to talk to enlisted Sailors and officers to see what jobs would interest us in the Navy.” In Manama, Bahrain, more than 500 service members and guests celebrated American naval history during the Navy Birthday Ball at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces, served as the guest speaker as well as the guest of honor for the ceremony. “For 243 years, and multiple generations of Sailors, the sea has forged our nation,” Stearney said. “It has forged our Navy and continues to forge our Sailors and our eternal destiny. Our nation recognized that our prosperity was linked to a strong and capable maritime force.” U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations encompasses about 2.5 million square miles of water area and includes the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean.

ly 11:18 a.m., unknown to Cole security, a small boat with terrorists aboard came alongside the ship. Suddenly, a highly explosive bomb detonated alongside Cole. The explosion was so massive that it crumbled a 40-by-60 foot hole on the port side of the ship, taking the lives of 17 Sailors and injuring 39 others. Cole’s Sailors courageously fought fires and flooding for the following 96 hours to keep the ship afloat. The ceremony ended with a bell tolling and reading of the names of the 17 heroes whose lives were sacrificed. It was held indoors due to inclement weather. Despite the rain and soggy grounds, some family members visited the nearby Cole Memorial. It includes 17 low-level markers that stand for the youthfulness of the Sailors, whose lives were lost. Three tall, granite monoliths – each bearing brass plaques – stand for the three colors of the American flag. A set of brown markers encircling the memorial symbolizes the darkness and despair that overcame the ship Oct. 12, 2000. Additionally, 28 black pine trees were planted nearby to represent the 17 Sailors and the 11 children the heroes left behind. For more news from USS Cole (DDG 67), visit www. navy.mil/local/ddg67/.

resolution of the Continental Congress established what the United States Navy is now. In 1972, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo Zumwalt authorized recognition of Oct. 13 as the Navy’s birthday. Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer said in a message to the fleet that the Navy is ready to fight, respond and defend wherever there is need but it needs to do it with a sense of urgency and efficiency. “Because of your hard work and dedication, the foundation for restoring readiness and increasing lethality has been set. But as we enter our 244th year of service, we must now build on that foundation. I need you to continually think of how to improve the delivery of the Navy the nation needs with a committed sense of urgency,” Spencer said. Other top Navy leaders, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Richardson and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell Smith, said happy birthday to the Navy in a video posted on social media. Smith said that America has been kept safe through exceptional talent, dedication to duty and strength of character. “John Paul Jones once said ‘men mean more than guns in the rating of a ship.’ That’s what this is about – our people,” Smith said in reference to the first well-known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War. He also said that with all the creativity and innovation, the Navy will meet any challenges “head on” and is prepared “for whatever comes next.” Recalling landmark battles such as the War of 1812 and the Battle of Midway, Richardson said, “Throughout our history, our Sailors have always risen to the occasion and punched above their weight when the nation called.” Richardson closed his remarks with a quote from Jones: “He who cannot risk, will not win.’ This is the year that we win. Wherever you are around the world – on a ship, in a squadron, take some time to think about what this year means as we go and we win it. We earn it every single day, every single watch.” Over the past two and a half centuries, the Navy has grown to become the largest, most advanced and most lethal fighting force the world has ever known. The Navy today has more than 328,000 personnel on active duty and around 100,000 personnel in the Navy Reserve, as well as, 286 deployable battle force ships and approximately 270,000 civilian employees.

STOLTENBERG, SCAPARROTTI TALK DETERRENCE ABOARD AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS HARRY S. TRUMAN

NATO photo NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, left, with Army Gen. General Curtis M. Scaparrotti, Supreme Allied Commander Europe and commander of U.S. European Command, attend a joint press conference aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the North Sea, Oct. 12, 2018.

By Jim Garamone Defense.gov WASHINGTON

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Army Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe and commander of U.S. European Command, made a statement about deterrence just by their presence aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the North Sea during an Oct. 12 news conference. The carrier is participating in Exercise Trident Juncture 18, the largest NATO exercise since the 1980s. The exercise will be held Oct. 25-Nov. 7. “From these decks, the USS Truman projects power to keep us all safe,” Stoltenberg said on the hangar deck of the massive ship.

“It delivers deterrence every day. It helps keep our sea lines of communication open and it has been critical in the ﬁght against terrorism, against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.” Trident Juncture showcases the defensive might of the 29-nation alliance. More than 45,000 service members, 60 ships and thousands of vehicles will participate in the exercise in and around Norway. Testing NATO’s Collective Response Capability Trident Juncture will test NATO’s collective response to an armed attack against one ally. “To keep our nations safe in an unpredictable world, we need to keep our alliance strong,” Stoltenberg said. “We do need to have the training and we need to train together in all domains; at sea, in air, on land and in cyberspace.”

The exercise will test NATO’s high-readiness forces, and send a clear message of alliance. The exercise will test NATO nation’s ability to work together in a time of crisis, Scaparrotti said. “It will be an important test and, as you’ve seen today, a demonstration of our collective capabilities,” he said. “With all 29 nations, as well as Finland and Sweden participating across air, land and sea, … this Trident Juncture exercise is a prime example of NATO allies and partners working together. Trident Juncture 18 will demonstrate that, in an unpredictable world, NATO remains an anchor of stability.” The general stressed that the alliance is changing and adapting to new threats not only from Russia but across the spectrum. Trident Juncture itself includes the cyber

domain, space and activities short of war. NATO nations must train together to handle these new multinational, multi-domain threats. “The challenge of doing that across 29 nations makes this complex,” he said. “I was just aboard a Danish ﬂagship connected with ships from the United States, Portugal, Norway, sharing a common picture, working on common operating procedures, tactics and procedures, and doing quite well. So again, we’re ready and we’re getting stronger every day.” Both Stoltenberg and Scaparrotti noted that the ship’s namesake, President Harry S. Truman, was in ofﬁce when the Washington Treaty that established NATO was signed in 1949.

World War II Navy veteran Wilbur F. Hoffman was presented the Bronze Star Medal Sept. 29 in his hometown of Livingston, New Jersey, for his heroic actions on USS Hughes (DD 410) when it was hit by a bomb. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Greg Slavonic, who joined the award ceremony at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Livingston, said that it was a distinct honor to attend the ceremony. “It was a distinct honor to attend the Bronze Star Medal award ceremony for Chief Water Tender Wilbur Hoffman in his hometown of Livingston, New Jersey. He was recognized for his heroics aboard the USS Hughes (DD 410) more than 70 years ago. Sailors like Chief Hoffman serve as an example to those serving today on the true meaning of ‘duty, honor, country’.”

U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Scott Jerabek presents the Bronze Star Medal to 100-year-old Wilbur F. Hoffman for his heroic actions aboard USS Hughes (DD 410) after it was hit by a bomb during World War II. Hoffman, then a chief water tender, kept steam on the emergency feed pump, ensuring water pressure to the ﬁre main that allowed the repair party to keep a ﬁre under control and eventually extinguish it.

The Bronze Star Medal was presented to Hoffman by Rear Adm. Scott Jerabek for his heroic achievement related to combat operations against the enemy Dec. 10, 1944, when he was in charge of the forward fireroom when USS Hughes was hit by a bomb off Leyte, Philippine Islands. “By his quick thinking and ingenuity, he kept steam on the emergency feed pump, ensuring water pressure to the firemain. This enabled the repair party to keep the fire under control and eventually extinguish it. By » See BRONZE STAR | A7

The obituary I can’t forget By Lisa Smith Molinari

A few of years ago, a friend sent me the link to an obituary she’d read in the Boston Globe over coffee that morning. I didn’t know the woman who had died. Mrs. Louise Bickford was a complete stranger to me. However, my friend shared the article because Louise had been a military spouse, like me. The obituary made no reference to an impressive career or professional achievements on Louise’s part. It didn’t mention awards for talents or proﬁciencies. No newsworthy contributions to society or attempts to change the world. Nothing that would measure up to traditional barometers of success. But this seemingly unremarkable newsprint about a military spouse I never knew, somehow tapped into my psyche and left an indelible mark. After reading the obit, my friend and I exchanged messages such as, “She did the New York Times crossword in pen. I can’t even do it in pencil.” And, “Wow, I can only hope that I leave that kind of legacy.” And then my friend and I went back to our busy routines, leaving behind the shared tidbit about Mrs. Louise Bickford, the 85-year-old Army wife who died on December 9, 2015. The only problem was, I couldn’t forget. The 600-word description of

Louise’s life had seeped into my subconscious, surfacing when I needed to quell doubts about my place in the world. The memory of the obituary has become a mantric rumination that I conjure to soothe the deep-seeded fear that my life is insignificant or unimportant. Even though the article didn’t describe the kind of accomplishments that are normally deemed print-worthy, the essay about Louise is a portrait of a life that truly mattered. I’ve been thinking more about Louise lately. With my husband retired from the Navy and our last child off to college, I recently interviewed for my first out-of-thehouse job since 1996. I’ve spent the last two decades raising our three kids, moving, managing the household, volunteering, and freelance writing from home. As I brace myself for rejection, I wonder, have I accomplished enough in life? Will this job save me from oblivion? Will my children be proud of me? According to the obituary written by Louise’s five children, Louise was born in 1930 and raised in a Pennsylvania coal-mining town. The valedictorian of her high school class, she went on to get her teaching degree and to marry James Bickford, her husband of 40 years. “Jim’s Army career took him, Louise and the five children

plus pets to postings in France, California, Kentucky, Iran, Wisconsin, Virginia, Turkey, Florida and ﬁnally, Pennsylvania,” the obit read, adding that Louise parented the kids alone during Jim’s unaccompanied tours in Vietnam and Korea. It described her mother’s “love of travel, curiosity about other cultures, organizational skills, and pragmatic nature” that made her “well suited to her life as a military spouse.” After Jim retired from the Army, one might think he and Louise settled into a stable life without hardship. However, “a tragic accident left Jim a quadriplegic in 1976.” Louise “spent the next 18 years as his primary caregiver until Jim’s death in 1994.” But she had always had a “great capacity to roll with the vicissitudes of life, accepting whatever difﬁculties life threw at her with humor, grace and style.” Louise spent the rest of her years “caring for her extensive brood,” and pursuing her many passions. Her children proudly described her as a “multi-faceted individual” who “taught swimming; was a substitute teacher; led Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops; … did the NY Times crossword puzzle in pen; played the piano;

sang in choruses; organized an international supper club; and was a gracious hostess her entire life.” They wrote, “Louise’s life was grounded by family, from her early life until her death,” and her family of ﬁve children, twelve grandchildren and a great grandchild “loved and admired” Louise for “her great wit, integrity, love of laughter and independent spirit.” Mrs. Louise Bickford had it right. Regardless of the pressure to live up to traditional measures of success, ultimately, a life grounded by family is a life well-lived. www.themeatandpotatoesoﬂife. com Obituary link: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/ obituary.aspx?pid=176816747

CIWT Det. Goodfellow Sailors honor Navy Pilot killed during Vietnam War From Center for Information Warfare Training Det. Goodfellow Public Affairs SAN ANGELO, TEXAS

Sailors from commands in Texas came together to honor Cmdr. Charles Goodwin at the Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Abilene, Oct. 12. The Sailors were from the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) Det. Goodfellow, Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit Lemoore Learning Site Goodfellow, Training Air Wing 4, Corpus Christi, and Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base. More than 50 years after his jet disappeared during a Vietnam War combat photo mission, Goodwin’s remains were escorted by Navy Sailors and the Patriot Guard Riders from Dallas to Abilene, Texas, where he was interred by his family. The Navy also honored Goodwin with a 21-gun salute, a two-plane flyover, the bugle call of “Taps” and the presentation of the U.S. flag that draped his casket to family. Goodwin was a native of Haskell, Texas and joined the Navy in 1961. He was 25 years old when he reported being in thunderstorms, which would ultimately be his last radio transmission. Many believed there was a very good chance that Goodwin survived, and he was declared Missing in Action. In 1977, he was presumed dead. According to his Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency personnel profile, Goodwin was a member of Light Photographic Squadron 63, embarked aboard the USS Coral Sea (CVA 43). On Sept. 8, 1965, he piloted a single-seat RF-8A Crusader on a photo-reconnaissance mission over Quang Binh Province, North Vietnam. There were severe thunderstorms on Goodwin’s route to the target area, and his plane went down

However, in December 2016, a Joint Forensic Review team received human remains that had been in the possession of a Vietnamese local. Through dental and anthropological analysis, the remains were matched to Goodwin. He was ofﬁcially accounted for on May 18, 2017. “Not only is it a privilege when our detachment is able to participate in honoring those that go before us, but it is also a powerful reminder of how rich our Navy’s legacy is,” said CIWT Det.

Navy Innovators reveal revolutionary research to counter emerging threats By John Joyce Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Public Affairs DAHLGREN, VA.

Navy inventors are confident that their latest research in quantum physics, artificial intelligence, and cyber security – to name a few – will ultimately impact U.S. military and homeland security efforts. The innovations and their potential military applications were introduced and explained by the researchers at a recent event, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) announced Oct. 12. In all, principal investigators presented 20 research projects with the titles of their discoveries ranging from “Cyber Security for the Internet of Things” and “Electrochemical Destruction of Bulk Chemical Warfare Agents” to the “Dynamical Non-Locality Induced Effect in Quantum Interference”. Navy technical managers, engineers, and scientists networked with representatives from academia, industry, transition partners, and other key stakeholders to see and hear more about these new innovations at the In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) and Independent Applied Research (IAR) End of Year Review at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren Campus, Sept. 25. Funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the ILIR and IAR program fosters fundamental and applied research at the Navy Warfare Centers to counter emerging threats by connecting technological needs with current and emerging capabilities. The NSWCDD principal investigators identified challenges, objectives, accomplishments and future benefits while answering questions and briefing the ILIR and IAR projects they’ve been working on over the past year. “The program helps to ensure a next generation of technically competent scientists by supporting masters and doctoral dissertation research, and research in the areas that are essential to our future mission,” said Dr. Jeff Solka, NSWCDD ILIR/IAR Program director. “Our ILIR and IAR process is a means to develop the next generation of Navy scientists and engineers capable of addressing key warfighter challenges to ensure the Navy maintains a leading edge in science

for national defense.” Many of the projects presented at the ILIR and IAR event have the potential to result in Cooperative Research and Development Agreements. This legal agreement provides a means for NSWCDD and a private sector partner to cooperatively conduct research and development in a given technical area and share in the technical results. “We have three strategic thrusts for ILIR and IAR programs,” said Solka in reference to the programs at NSWCDD. “We provide funding for science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics students to complete their graduate studies. New researchers can develop their own science and technology projects and portfolios. In addition, worldclass researchers have the ability to develop revolutionary ideas.” For example, world-class principal investigators Scott Spence and associate investigator Dr. Dan Parks developed a revolutionary idea for their quantum physics project, titled, “Dynamical Non-Locality Induced Effect in Quantum Interference”. The potential military applications of their research include anti-tamper cybersecurity, invisible security fences, and highly sensitive vibrometer technologies. “Dynamic non-locality is more robust than kinematic non-locality,” said Spence, pointing out that dynamical non-locality will provide an enabling technology for future quantum devices. Principal investigator Dr. Joseph Hunt’s work – “Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Nanotube-Metal Organic Framework Composites” – could be used to develop new electromagnetic materials with enhanced, tunable properties with applications in electromagnetic offense and defense, and electric weapons in addition to chemical, biological and radiological protection. “The Metal Organic Framework nanotube composites could be transitioned to a variety of operational areas in which thin layers of material with high electromagnetic lossiness is desired,” said Hunt. “The other permittivity and potential electronic properties could be used in electric weapons or directed energy projects.” Hunt’s project – performed to produce composites with enhanced properties by combining carbon nanotube and reticular

Parsons — an NSWCDD scientist who graduated this year from the Virginia Military Institute — explained his ILIR project, “Electrochemical Destruction of Bulk Chemical Warfare Agents,” to Navy technical managers, engineers, and scientists as well as representatives from academia, industry, and transition partners. Funded by the Ofﬁce of Naval Research, the ILIR and IAR program fosters fundamental and applied research at the Navy Warfare Centers to counter emerging threats by connecting technological needs with current and emerging capabilities.

chemistry – advance the state of the art by exploring how the material properties of Metal Organic Framework are affected by the incorporation of increasing amounts of carbon nanotubes. “This work enables future weapon systems by providing control over the electromagnetic properties of the material as well as providing the improved conductivity necessary for sensors and other electronic systems utilized by the Navy and Department of Defense.” Principal investigator Kimberly Zeitz – an NSWCDD scientist and Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech – presented a new security technique in her project, “Cyber Security for the Internet of Things” that has the potential to protect data from sensor devices utilized for wartime communications. Zeitz focused on limiting the time attackers may conduct reconnaissance on lowpowered embedded system devices while considering the challenges such as resource and performance constraints. Low-powered low-resource devices cannot use traditional security methods “This Micro Moving Target IPv6 Defense obscures communications of these devices through address rotation,” said Zeitz, regarding her research at NSWCDD which is closely linked to ongoing research conducted within the Virginia Tech Information Technology Security Lab. “Past and ongoing research includes a Moving Target IPv6 Defense and its applications in enhancing network security,” said Zeitz. “This security technique can be catered for use with different applications on different embedded devices. The ability to select the hashing algorithm used allows it to be adapted for a best ﬁt and also to stay current as new has algorithms are developed.” Dr. Elizabeth Haro’s research on data visualization support resulted in a tool that will be transitioned to the Aegis Readiness and Training Center for use in in training Sailors. Her research project – “Data Visualization Support for Creation of a Numerical Table: Effects on Training and Performance” – can result in novel visualization techniques, including 3D visualizations to optimize delivery and utilization for the human users. An incorrectly developed ship doctrine can lead to catastrophic events. Currently, the system includes a tabular display of completed doctrine statements on the Aegis Display System and the doctrine comparison capability in 2D. There is no graphical representation to aid the warﬁghter in the devel-

opment of doctrine. “This technology is a visual-based doctrine system that could enable the ability for centralized Fleet level doctrine creation and tactics in real-time,” said Haro, the team lead for the NSWCDD Human Systems Integration Science and Technology Team. “It can reduce Sailor workload by minimizing the required sectors that a warfighter must monitor for each ship based on the global coverage area of the Fleet doctrine.” Principal investigators also presented the following projects at the year-end review: Advanced Peptide Analysis for Microbiological Fingerprinting Density-based Data Stream Clustering Passive Intermodulation in Nanoparticles Fault Tolerant Methods for Scientific Computing Combinatorial Structures in Quantum Information Applications of the Aharonov Ansatz to Sensor Problems Algorithm Design for Mixed-Radix Polynomial Arithmetic Hypersonic, Dissociating Flow Over an Elastically Deforming Body at Sea Level Integration of Terahertz/Infrared Graphene Plasmonic Detectors Using Compliant Substrate Engineering Modulating Electronic Properties of Two Dimensional Macromolecular Structures Through Additives and Post-Synthetic Modification Theoretical Foundations of System Engineering Optical Single Mach – Zehnder Interferometer Weak Value Amplifier Device Process Symmetries: System Laws for Operational Processes Cycle Detection Methods and Analyses in Linear Iterated Systems A Novel Technology for Initiating Low Energy Reactions The Naval Sea Systems Command Warfare Centers supply the technical operations, people, technology, engineering services and products needed to equip and support the fleet and meet the warfighters’ needs.

F-35 ITF CONDUCTS FIRST SHIPBORNE ROLLING VERTICAL LANDING ON HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH From HMS Queen Elizabeth Public Affairs NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

The ﬁrst ever Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing (SRVL) was carried out Saturday with an F-35B conducting trials onboard the new British aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth. The UK is the only nation currently planning to use the maneuver, which will allow jets to land onboard with heavier loads, meaning they won’t need to jettison expensive fuel and weapons before landing. Previously the jets have conducted vertical landings, coming to a hover to the side of the ship, translating sideways over the deck, before gently lowering to land. It is regarded as a safer method to reduce speed before the jet lands in this way, rather than landing on

at speed and coming to a stop before it runs out of deck. An SRVL uses a different approach, with the jet using a more conventional landing pattern, approaching the ship from the aft end at speed, using the thrust from the nozzle and lift created by air over the wings, to touch down and come to a stop as soon as possible. The ﬁrst SRVL was conducted by Peter Wilson, a BAE Systems U.K. test pilot with the F-35 Pax River Integrated Test Force, and took place at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 13, 2018, off the east coast of the U.S. Landing 755 yards back from the end of the carrier’s ski jump, the jet came to a complete standstill at the 580 yard mark. “I’m excited and thrilled to have achieved

Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group operating in US 6th Fleet From U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs NAPLES, ITALY

The Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group (IWOESG) continued its transit into the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations as part of a deployment in support of NATO exercise Trident Juncture 18. The strike group will join the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group and U.S. 6th Fleet ﬂagship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) to comprise the U.S. ship support to the exercise.

“We are excited to participate in Trident Juncture 18, which demonstrates the capabilities of a multinational amphibious force,” said Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group 2, Rear Adm. Brad Skillman. “Conducting an exercise of this scope provides the opportunity to improve interoperability, not only among the amphibious force, but NATO as a whole.” Trident Juncture 18 is designed to ensure NATO forces are trained, able to operate together and ready to respond to any threat from any direction. With 31 allies and partners participating, it will be one of NATO’s largest exercises in recent years. Amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), amphibious dock landing ship USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44) and amphibious transport dock USS New York (LPD 21) departed from the east coast of the United States, Oct. 2-3. The nearly 2,000 Marines with a Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF), built around the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit command element from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, are also embarked on the ships. U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples,

this, the whole team is,” Wilson said. “It’s an inherently risky maneuver. We have always understood it is safer to stop before you land than it is to land before you stop and the prime reason for that is that if something goes wrong with the airplane it is far better for it to be stationary than a rolling wreckage. I’ve worked on this for the past 17 years; it’s fantastic to know that it’s matched the modelling and simulation we have done over the years. I’ve flown over 2,000 SRVLs in the simulator, and am honored to have been able to do the first one onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth here today.” As important as the pilot in the cockpit, was Royal Navy Lt. Christopher Mould who held the role of Landing Safety Officer (LSO) during Wilson’s flight. Taking his place in a packed, but eerily silent FLYCO (Flight Control), Mould was the final say as to whether the jet could land. With seconds to go before touchdown, his call of “happy” allowed the historic landing to take place. “I’ll admit, I was nervous; it was a pretty intense experience,” Mould said. “It’s the first time we’ve ever done it. As the independent checker, I have to make sure that what we are seeing in FLYCO, is also what the pilot is seeing and call it as I see it.” Fellow test pilot onboard, U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Michael Lippert, F-35 Pax River ITF, said America was watching this part of the trials onboard the carrier particularly closely. The USMC, which also flies the F35B variant, will join the ship when she deploys operationally for the first time in 2021. “This is one of the main reasons we are here. It is of interest to the Service at large – we are learning from each other,” Lippert said. “I will have the honor of conducting the

first SRVL at sea for the U.S. military, so I’m excited; it’s what we all join up for. This is truly experimental test flying.” Commander Air, or ‘Wings’ onboard, Royal Navy Cmdr. James Blackmore, said: “It’s fantastic to have achieved this, absolutely brilliant. It was text-book, just what we expected. This is the first step in proving this capability; another milestone in aviation for the Royal Navy.” Royal Navy Commodore Mike Utley, Commander U.K. Carrier Strike Group onboard, added, “What today’s milestone eventually means is that we will give our strategic leaders even more choice. Pushing this ever expanding envelope means we can achieve the effects they require from us. Yet again we have demonstrated the seamless cooperation between the U.K. and U.S., but more essential than that, is how it will translate into future operations.” For HMS Queen Elizabeth First of Class Flight Trials Lead Test Pilot, Royal Air Force Squadron Leader Andy Edgell, the first SRVL was the culmination of two years’ work and described the emotional moment. Edgell, who is also a test pilot at the F-35 Pax River ITF said: “I’m feeling an enormous release, two years of concern—have we missed anything? What did we not consider? It’s overtaken our lives, to make sure the outcome today was perfect. It couldn’t have gone better and it was obvious to anyone, we were watching a moment in history being made for Royal Navy aviation. “Now we will focus on putting all four of our test pilots here through the same process to achieve the widest breadth of data possible,” continued Edgell. HMS Queen Elizabeth continues the Westlant 18 deployment, along with escorts Type 23 frigate and HMS Monmouth and Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Lassen. She also has embarked Merlin Mk 2 antisubmarine helicopters from 820 Naval Air Squadron from RNAS Culdrose, and Mk 4 Merlins from 845 Naval Air Squadron at RNAS Yeovilton, conducting Search & Rescue and Helicopter Delivery Services.

Navy, Gerard Butler collaborate to tell 21st Century Submarine Yarn By Jim Garamone, Dept. of Defense Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Hollywood came to the Pentagon, Oct. 15, as actor Gerard Butler spoke to Pentagon reporters about his collaboration with the U.S. Navy in making “Hunter-Killer,” a submarine movie due out this week. The Pentagon press briefing studio was filled to capacity as Butler – who plays the commander of the fictional attack sub USS Arkansas in the movie – answered questions about the experience. The movie posits an operation aimed at averting war with Russia. Butler said it is a chance to bring the submarine genre into the 21st century. “Hunter-Killer” is a chance to take viewers into submarines and let them see the culture, “and really see how these people think, work, their courage, their intelligence, basically their brilliance,” the actor said.

The plot alternates between the submarine, a special operations team inserted in Russia and the Pentagon. Navy Vice Adm. Fritz Roegge, now the president of the National Defense University, was the commander of the U.S. Submarine Force in the Pacific. “I was privileged to host Mr. Butler in Pearl Harbor for an orientation to the submarine force,” the admiral said. The Navy supported the effort even as the service remained “laser-focused” on warfighting in today’s era of great power competition. “But we’re also competing for talent, and in this dynamic economy, it’s more important than ever that we find ways to inspire the next generation of warfighters to consider serving our country in the Navy,” Roegge said. Only a small fraction of young Americans qualify to serve in the military. An even smaller number are aware of the opportunities the services offer. “Although the Navy

beneﬁts from technology that gives us the world’s most capable platforms and equipment, it is our people who are truly our greatest strength,” Roegge said. “In the words of another great Scotsman – John Paul Jones – ‘Men mean more than guns in the rating of a ship.’ So we will only remain the world’s greatest Navy by attracting the best talent from across our nation.” Connecting With Young Americans Movies are a good way to reach young Americans and they are also a good vehicle to expose all Americans to their Navy, Roegge said. All Americans need to understand “they know their Navy: who we are, what we do, and why it matters.” Butler was immersed in the submarine culture sailing aboard USS Houston from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Being aboard the submarine was like being in another world, he said. “I felt like I could spend a year just in sonar. But I was shipped from sonar to the bridge, to navigation to the engine room to the torpedo room because I had a very quick-minded sub commander who wanted to show me every working living part of the submarine – even how to compress trash.”

Butler added, “What I really took out of it was the brilliance and the humility of the Sailors I worked with. Not that I didn’t have that appreciation before – I certainly did – but having spent time with them to realize how their minds work and how agile and how creative they have to be. And they are constantly being tested to prove themselves to think logically, to think intuitively, and in all different matters.” And it was real for Butler. “You can do it in a movie, but when you are actually on a sub, you realize the dangers that are there,” he said. “You are a thousand feet underwater and you go, ‘Okay. What are the different ways things can go wrong?’ You have a greater appreciation of what these people do every day unsung and unseen and their courage and valor.” DOD officials approved the request in December 2014, and the Navy provided access and technical support to the filmmakers. Officials stressed that support to “HunterKiller” or any other movie is done at zero cost to the American taxpayer.

Women’s health: Taking time for yourself By Yan Kennon, Public Affairs Senior Writer Naval Hospital Jacksonville JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Preventive services are your best defense against preventable diseases. Your care teams at Naval Hospital Jacksonville (its hospital and ﬁve branch health clinics) stand ready to provide those services. “Prevention is the best medicine,” said Cmdr. Jennifer Wallinger, NH Jacksonville director for public health. “As women, we need to take time to get our health screenings and care for ourselves.” The top two causes of death for women are heart disease and cancer, with diabetes ranking seventh, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. – Heart disease: Heart disease is the number one cause of death in U.S. women. Key risk factors include high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol and smoking. Other risk factors include diabetes, overweight and obesity, poor diet, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use. Know your blood pressure, talk to your primary care manager about diabetes testing, cholesterol and triglyceride tests, quit smoking, make healthy food choices, limit alcohol and ﬁnd healthy ways to cope with stress. – Cervical cancer: Prevent cervical cancer — with the right test at the right time. Starting at age 21, get a Pap test every three years. After turning 30, you have a choice:

Get a Pap test every three years; or get a combined Pap and human papillomavirus (HPV) test every five years. Talk with your PCM about options. – Breast cancer: Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat and before it’s big enough to feel. Starting at age 40, talk with your PCM about when to start and how often to get a mammogram. You have the choice to get an annual mammogram at age 40 and up. Call Radiology today (904-5427782). It’s easy to schedule, with no need to see your PCM. – Colorectal cancer: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. for women. If you’re age 50 or over, get screened now for colorectal cancer. Screening can find growths so they can be removed before turning into cancer. Screening can also find cancer at an early stage, when treatment often leads to a cure. If you have risk factors, you might need to be tested earlier or more often. Talk to your PCM. – Diabetes: If you have diabetes, see your health care team every three to six months for an A1C test. This checks your long-term control of blood sugar. Make an appointment with your PCM today. You can discuss strategies to manage diabetes at home, work, school and while traveling. You can also talk with our diabetes nurse or nutrition clinic. – Chlamydia: Most people who

U.S. Navy photo

have chlamydia don’t know it, since there’s often no symptoms. It’s the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. Women under age 25 (and older women with risk factors) need chlamydia testing every year. Call or email your PCM to schedule a urine sample in our lab. Dealing with high stress, depression, difﬁculty sleeping or other non-physical health concerns are just as important to stay healthy. Proper sleep, physical activity and nutrition are key components of preventive health and day-to-day wellness. Women need a mix of cardio and resistance or weight-bearing exercise at least three to ﬁve times a week to help prevent osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Exercise also promotes good self-image, which is important to a woman’s mental health. Eating healthy is critical to women’s health. A balanced diet of lean

proteins, healthy fats, smart carbs and ﬁber are essential elements to a proper diet. For a well-woman exam, make an appointment with your PCM by phone (904-542-4677 at our hospital, or 904-546-7094 at Branch Health Clinic Jacksonville for active duty), or on TRICARE’s Online Patient Portal at www.TRICAREonline.com. For immunizations, stop by or call 904-542-7810 (hospital) or 904-546-7050 (BHC Jacksonville). To take a free class on tobacco cessation, nutrition or healthy weight, contact our hospital’s Wellness Center at 904-542-5292. For 24/7 clinical advice, call the Nurse Advice Line at 800-TRICARE (800-874-2273) or chat at www.mhsNurseAdviceLine.com. To securely email your care team (for non-urgent issues), sign up for free at www.TOLSecureMessaging.com. Some follow-up services are

available virtually. Navy Care enables you to have a virtual visit with your clinician on your smartphone, tablet or computer. Ask your provider or visit https://Navy. Care. To view your care team’s PCMs, visit our website at www.med. navy.mil/sites/navalhospitaljax, click on Medical Home Port, and click on each team. Naval Hospital Jacksonville and Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Jacksonville deliver quality health care, in an integrated system of readiness and health. NH Jacksonville includes ﬁve branch health clinics across Florida and Georgia. It serves 163,000 active-duty and retired sailors, Marines, soldiers, airmen, guardsmen and their families, including 84,000 patients who are enrolled with a primary care manager.

Warrior Sailor awarded Mineman of the Year By MC2 Kirsten King Amphibious Force 7th Fleet Public Affairs SASEBO, JAPAN

A Sailor assigned to USS Warrior (MCM 10) in Sasebo, Japan, was recently named the Association of Minemen’s (AOM) 20182019 Mineman of the Year (Sea). Mineman 1st Class Yves Dessources, operations leading petty officer for the combat information center on Warrior, received the award during the association’s annual reunion, Oct. 9-12, in Jacksonville, Florida. Dessources said he was not expecting to receive such recognition, but he was honored to have been selected. “I was shocked at first,” said Dessources. “My chain of command, for them to even submit me for this award, is a blessing. I’m very humbled. I always thank them every day because without them, I wouldn’t be where I’m at.” Dessources said he tries to help his Sailors as much as his chain of command has helped him. “I’m always encouraging everyone to go to school, do community service, just do anything that will help them and help them with their careers,” Dessources said. “Anything that will help them progress inside and outside the Navy.” Dessources knows firsthand about taking advantage of education benefits through the Navy. He received his Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Excelsior College while serving. Senior Chief Mineman Miguel Torres, operations leading chief petty officer on War-

rior, said that he thinks the AOM picked the right Sailor to recognize. “When the announcement was made regarding his selection as Mineman of the Year, I was very proud and content with the decision,” said Torres. “MN1 Dessources earned the recognition through his hard work, dedication, and the results he and his team have achieved. I told him that this milestone was only the beginning, and I challenged him to exceed his professional and personal goals.” “My biggest goal right now is going officer,” said Dessources. “I’m going to put in a package to be a surface warfare officer soon.” Dessources, a native of Bridgeport, Connecticut, joined the Navy 12 years ago as an undesignated seaman before striking mineman in 2009. He said he is honored to be a part of the mine warfare community. “It’s very humbling to be a part of all the greats that came before me and to carry on the torch,” said Dessources. “Don’t forget where you come from. I know where I come from, so I use that as motivation every day to keep pushing on and forward.” The mineman rating was created in 1943. The Association of Minemen was established in 1977 and is a nonprofit organization that aims to preserve the records and memories of the U.S. Navy mine warfare forces.

New kayak launch honors military veterans From Norfolk.gov

Members of the Highland Park Civic League are honoring military veterans and their dedication to service with a new kayak launch. A ribbon cutting ceremony for the Highland Park Veterans Kayak Launch at the corner of 44th Street and Colley was held on October 10. “We wanted to acknowledge our veterans, especially wounded veterans who can now have access to kayaking, in support of overall physical and emotional health,” said Dale Ryder, President, Highland Park Civic League. Civic league members spearheaded the development and naming of the new kayak launch at Knitting Mill Creek. The launch replaces an old, dilapidated city pier. Norfolk City Council approved funding for the launch as part of a larger city-wide

project to improve commercial corridors. The public can enjoy Norfolk’s waterways with more than a dozen access points. In addition to the Highland Park Veterans Kayak Launch, the La Valette Avenue Kayak Launch located at the end of La Valette Avenue opened less than a year ago. “Norfolk is the premier urban waterfront city. The Highland Park Veterans Kayak Launch illustrates just one of the many ways our community stakeholders can access and enjoy water in our City,” said Darrell Crittendon, Director of Recreation, Parks and Open Space (RPOS). For information on kayak and canoe water access points and other programs and services offered by RPOS, visit Norfolk.gov/play.

The Smithfield Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Smithfield Foods, Inc., is pleased to announce a $50,000 donation to The Virginia Chamber Foundation to advance the group’s goal of strengthening the state’s business climate as well as directly supporting the HIRE VETS NOW program. HIRE VETS NOW provides access to transitioning service members and veterans with career opportunities with partnering businesses prior to re-entry into the civilian workforce. “The Virginia Chamber Foundation is pleased to partner with Smithfield Foods on our continued work to improve Virginia’s economy and bring Virginia back to the top of national business climate rankings,” said Keith Martin, executive director of the Virginia Chamber Foundation. “This contribution to the HIRE VETS NOW program highlights our shared commitment to integrate our nation’s veterans into the business community. Smithfield’s investment in these initiatives underscores their commitment to leadership and service and we are grateful for their continued partnership.” Smithfield’s donation will also provide direct support for the development of the Virginia Economic Dashboard. This resource will provide user-friendly, timely, and comparative economic data to allow decision makers to track Virginia’s progress on improving its business climate. Continual perfor-

mance assessment on key economic indicators will signal to Virginia’s business community and policy makers available opportunities to strengthen the state’s economic competitiveness. “We are proud to continue our support of this great business development organization here in our home state of Virginia, which also provides such a valuable resource to active military and veterans,” said Keira Lombardo, senior vice president of corporate affairs for Smithfield Foods and president of the Smithfield Foundation. “Part of Smithfield’s social purpose is to honor the service and sacrifice of American veterans and the HIRE VETS NOW program is the type of program that provides genuine career development support for our military community.” Smithfield has a long history of supporting veterans and military families through volunteerism, food and charitable donations, and partnerships. In 2016, Smithfield introduced two new veterans’ initiatives — Operation 4000! and Smithfield Salutes. Through Operation 4000!, Smithfield is working to employ 4,000 veterans—10 percent of its U.S. workforce— by 2020. Smithfield Salutes is an employee engagement program that helps veterans working at Smithfield in their transition to civilian life.

TIPS TO GIVE YOUR PET A HAPPY, HEALTHY FALL

Brandpoint image

Fall with our four-legged friends From Brandpoint

The dog days of summer are over and your furry family member is up and ready to play! It’s the time of year when even pets can get excited about the season and all the autumn outdoor activities families may enjoy. It’s also a time of year that can come with some hazards and vulnerabilities for our fourlegged friends. Here are a few reminders to keep your pet happy and healthy, as the crisp apple-spiced air makes its fall appearance. Fall is a great time to take advantage of healthy, active play with your pet to encourage and strengthen the human-animal bond. In addition, active play develops healthy movement and cardiovascular endurance for you and your dog, especially when exercise can tend to decline during the colder months and holiday party season. A simple game of fetch offers both! It’s a great way to make fetch happen with your dog’s favorite Chuck-

it! launcher and ball. The essence of fetch play satisﬁes their natural instincts to chase, while encouraging healthy and happy movement. Speaking of cooler weather and active play, this time of year can certainly put a little more stress on your pet’s joints. It’s important to make sure your pets stay well hydrated, and are provided with the right nutrition and supplements to ensure their active bodies are performing at their very best. In addition to a healthy diet, a good bed can go a long way to prevent any painful issues down the road. After an active day of play with your pet, a good place to relax and recuperate will help ease stress on their joints. The orthopedic foam beds by SnooZZy provide excellent support, as opposed to a harder ﬂoor surface, enabling your pet to bounce back up much quicker and happier, no matter how old they are. As the sun sets lower on the windowsill,

many cats will try to bask in as much warmth and light as the day will allow. Don’t be fooled by the declining strength of the sun’s rays. No matter what time of year it is, lighterpigmented cats can be more prone to sunburn and darker coated cats can run the increased risk of heat stress. Prevent sun damage issues by applying a small amount of pet-safe sunscreen on areas like the nose, ears and underbelly that are susceptible to sunburn, and monitor all sunbathing, particularly when the sun is at its strongest — early afternoon until evening. Providing your cat with another comfortable place to lounge, like the Jackson Galaxy Convertible Scratcher, is an excellent way to coax them out of the hot sun. Your cat will enjoy lounging on the scratcher and its various conﬁgurations, while enabling them to tap into their natural instincts to scratch when they want to be more engaged and active. Another hazard to consider is an increase in pet anxiety due to the new noises that may come with the fall season. For pets prone to

anxiety caused by noise (leaf blowers, school bus engines, doorbells and trick-or-treaters), consider keeping them occupied with a solo play toy, like the JW Robobone, for engagement and fun. Interactive puzzle toys from JW can help keep dogs occupied and focused, preventing any new seasonal stress they may experience. Lastly, despite the declining temperatures, ﬂeas and ticks are still present and a threat. Whether you’re partaking in a camping trip or just a quick walk to enjoy the fall foliage, make sure your pets are properly guarded from these pesky insects to avoid serious problems like Lyme disease, or any other issues that accompany these unwanted pests. All in all, the fall season can be an exciting time for you and your pet. Keep your veterinarian’s phone number handy, but be sure to enjoy every moment with your furry family member. After all, they are the sweetest part of the holiday season.

An Evening with Groucho returns to The American Theatre Friday night By Yiorgo

We, in the Hampton Roads area, are very fortunate this Friday night, when the internationally renowned and award-winning actor/ director/playwright Frank Ferrante brings his PBS, New York and London acclaimed show An Evening with Groucho, to the American Theatre in Hampton, VA at 8 p.m. The New York Times described Frank as “the greatest living interpreter of Groucho Marx’s material.” “Nothing short of masterful” from the Chicago Tribune, “Uncanny...astonishing” says L.A. Weekly, and The Today Show, Gene Shalit called Frank and the show “Brilliant”. And those who knew Groucho best, his family and friends: “Nobody does Groucho better than Frank Ferrante.” Is what Arthur Marx, Groucho’s son said. Miriam Marx, Groucho’s daughter has said that “Frank doesn’t just do

Groucho...he is Groucho.” And Morrie Ryskind, co-author of the Marx Brothers hits The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers and A Night at the Opera said “Frank is the only actor aside from Groucho who delivered my lines as they were intended to be.” I spoke with Frank by phone, and he was very excited to be coming back for the third time to the American Theatre and re-introducing An Evening With Groucho to a whole new audience, young and old. Yiorgo: What you do is a labor of love. How did you fall in love with Groucho? Frank Ferrante: When I was 9 years old I saw the Marx Brothers movie A Day at the Races and I never laughed so hard in my life. They were an escape for me; I wanted to behave like they did, complete anarchy, because I was going to a very strict Catholic School at

the time. Fast forward to 1985, I am a student at the University of Southern California and as part of my senior project I put on a one-man show on Groucho Marx that I had written. I invited Groucho Marx’s son Arthur a playwright and daughter Miriam and Morrie Ryskind who co-wrote some of the Marx Brothers work. They showed up and Arthur said, “If I ever do a play about my father I’d like to use you.” I graduated, a year later we were doing his show and here we are 33 years later con-

tinuing the love affair. Y: Tell us about the show. FF: The show is story telling with songs from Groucho’s Broadway shows and ﬁlms as well as one-liners and bits from his movies. But the glory of the show is the improv where the audience literally becomes part of the show. You don’t have to know who Groucho is to fall in love with the show.

He discovers his uncle is a warlock, and enters a world of magic and sorcery. But this power is not limited to good people: Lewis learns of Isaac Izard, an evil wizard who wanted to cause the Apocalypse so that he could see what happened afterwards. To do this, he constructed a magical clock with black magic, as long as it exists it will keep ticking, counting down to doomsday. He died before he could ﬁnish the clock, but he hid the clock in his house, where Uncle Jonathan now lives. Now Lewis and Jonathan must ﬁnd the clock before it’s too late, and before Isaac’s wife, Selena, gets to it.
