SERVING NAVAL AIR STATION OCEANA, DAM NECK ANNEX, AND NALF FENTRESS An E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, assigned to Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 121, the “Bluetails”, launches from the runway on Naval Station Norfolk during its inaugural test with the squadron Nov. 20. The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is the U.S. Navy’s latest variant of the E-2 Hawkeye advanced warning aircraft.
VAW-121 launches squadron’s first E-2D Advanced Hawkeye STORY/PHOTO BY MC3 SHANE A. JACKSON Navy Public Affairs Support Element - East Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 121,the“Bluetails,”launched the squadron’s first E-2D Advanced Hawkeye during a test flight from Naval Station Norfolk Nov. 20. The flight marks the end of VAW-121’s 37year relationship with the E-2C Hawkeye, the previous model, and moving forward with the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, ahead of most other early warning squadrons. “It’s still an E-2 and we’re going to be capable to provide all the functions and perform all the same missions as we did with the E-2C,” said Lt. Cmdr. Nolan King, operations officer for VAW-121. “With the added improvements in our sensor capability, we’re going to be able to improve efficiency and lethality of the strike group and other assets we’re working with.” King said one of the major changes the E-2D
will affect upon VAW-121 is an increase in personnel. Due to all VAW squadrons receiving five E-2Ds instead of four, as they did throughout the E-2C’s 50-year run in the Navy, more personnel are required to maintain and pilot the extra aircraft. “We’re in a great position to help write the book on employing this aircraft throughout the rest of this year and the next,” said Lt. Daniel Hill, training officer for VAW-121. “We’re taking what we know and helping to develop recommendations to the fleet and weapon schools based on what we see.” Many of the new improvements aboard the E-2D include an entirely new electronics suite, more powerful turboprop engines and the future potential for air-to-air refueling. “It’s like anything brand new, everybody wants to get their hands on it,”said Aviation Machinist Mate 1st Class (AW) Luis Garcia, power plant leading petty officer for VAW-121.“One of
the best things about getting this new aircraft is knowing that we get to be the pioneers and learn the platform before anybody else.” Garcia said many of his crew volunteered to extend at VAW-121 for the opportunity to deploy with the E-2D and become experts on the new aircraft ahead of many others in the fleet. Even with the excitement of being the second squadron to receive the E-2D, the first being VAW-125, the“Tigertails,”many of the crew are sad to see an aircraft they had all grown familiar with start its slow march to becoming obsolete in the fleet. “There’s always a little nostalgia to see an old friend go,” said King. “But there’s still enough of the E-2C in the E-2D that we can see our heritage in it.” Testing for the E-2D began in 2007 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., with the aircraft’s first deployment scheduled with aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) in 2015.

EA-6B PROWLER: RETIRING FROM SERVICE BY MCSN PATRICK IAN CRIMMINS USS George H.W. Bush Public Affairs
EA-6B Prowler Facts
• Primary function: electronic countermeasures As the sun set on USS George H.W. • Contractor: Northrop Grumman Bush’s (CVN 77) latest deployment, it also set on the illustrious career of the EA-6B Systems Corporation • First flight: May 25, 1968; Prowler with the Navy. The jet is retiring after 42 years of ser- operational capability: July 1971 vice, and the deployment aboard the Bush • Propulsion: Two Pratt & Whitney was its last. The Prowler will be replaced by the EA-18G Growler, a variant of the J52-P408 engines, 10,400 pounds thrust each F/A-18F Super Hornet. “The Prowler’s return on investment is • Wingspan: 53 feet fantastic,” said Capt. Daniel Cheever, com- • Airspeed: 500+ knots mander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8. “It’s a • Range: 1,000+ nautical miles testament to its design and its relevance • Crew: pilot and three electronic that it’s still being used.” “We’re actually flying the Prowler lon- countermeasure officers ger than the Navy intended,” said Cmdr. Christopher Jason, commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 134, “Garudas,” who has flown in the Prowler as an electronic countermeasures officer since 2000. The EA-6B Prowler has been the Navy’s main aerial platform for electronic warfare since 1972, first seeing service in Vietnam, until October,when the jet supported missions over Iraq and Syria while deployed with Bush. “It’s a Vietnam-era design,” said Lt. Winston Likert, a pilot who has flown the Prowler for the past three years as part of VAQ-134.“It’s a completely different generation of aircraft all together. It’s all manual bell-cranks and pulleys and hydraulics.” Prowler pilots are more dependent on their own strength and situational awareness than in modern airframes because they don’t have electronically assisted controls or air-to-air radar. “It’s a very physically demanding aircraft to fly,” said Likert. “You don’t have computers making up the gaps, it’s all you. It’s exhausting to fly, but that makes it endearing, like grabbing the beast by the scruff of its neck.” Likert said that piloting a Prowler harkens back to a different era of flight. It’s a more visceral experience than other present-day aircraft. “It’s big,heavy,oily,dirty and tough,”said Likert.“We absolutely feel like we’re part of old school, thick-skinned, hard-nosed
naval aviation.That said, many of us probably wouldn’t feel worthy standing next to one of the old-timers who grew up in that era.The jet definitely commands a certain respect from those who fly in it or with it, as well as maintain it.” Jason added that during the deployment, the Garudas and the Prowler have achieved a perfect 100 percent sortie completion rate. They are 20 percent above the requirement for aircraft ready to launch, and the pilots have earned the Top Hook award four out of the last six line periods, which recognizes the overall amount of successful landings on a carrier. The Garudas also received Top Hook Honors for the entire deployment. “The oldest airframe on the flight deck has executed every single combat sortie assigned the whole deployment,” said Likert. “Pretty rare in any squadron. Hornet, Rhino, Prowler, whatever, but for an aging airframe like ours, huge props to our maintenance team to get that done.” The squadron’s mechanics listen to pilot feedback, and put hands on the aircraft in order to perform the required maintenance or repairs. “There’s a lot to it, but it’s easily understandable,”said 21-year-oldAviation Mechanic 3rd Class Jason Lee Gregory, from Sydney, Iowa.“If you sit back and think about it, you can figure out what’s going wrong with it.” Jason said the Prowler is a traditionally-

built, metal aircraft, unlike other airframes, which are primarily modularly constructed from composite materials.A unique aspect about working on the Prowler is how the mechanics can fix a problem on deployment rather than get a new part shipped in. “If they need to fabricate a component, they’re going out there and bending sheet metal to make it match,” said Jason. “They will create it.So,that is going to be a lost art.” Likert said a more modern aircraft can tell a mechanic through electronic codes where problems might be. Over the years, Prowler mechanics have developed an intuition to interpret a pilot’s observations into knowledge that can be used to troubleshoot issues with the airframe. But, nothing lasts forever and the Prowler is no exception. “The longer you keep an airframe going past its intended lifespan, the higher the cost,” said Jason. Though the mechanics can fabricate a lot of what they need, sometimes they can’t and that can reduce readiness, said Likert. “It is a 40-plus-year-old airframe,” said Cheever. “It is not designed with all the new technology we have today.” Likert added that the airplanes have a limited lifespan, and it’s important to understand what might happen structurally to maintain a high level of safety for the crew, in the air and on the ground, while also performing and excelling in its operations. Both Cheever and Likert describe the Prowler like a 1957 Chevy: simple, powerful and beautiful in its own way, but hard to compare to something like a Corvette
We absolutely feel like we’re part of old school, thickskinned, hard-nosed naval aviation ... The jet definitely commands a certain respect from those who fly in it or with it, as well as maintain it. ” — Lt. Winston Likert VAQ-134 pilot
or the Prowler’s actual replacement, the EA-18G Growler. Cheever said he thinks it is amazing that pilots can fly and land the aircraft at any time of day and any type of weather without the technological aids that most other pilots get from newer platforms. Likert explained that the Growler will fulfill the same roles as the Prowler: suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) and the denial of communications to our enemies while protecting those of U.S. coalition ground forces, or Communications Electronic Attack (COMSEA). The Navy’s use of fewer types of airframes will simplify — See Prowler, Page 11

NAVADMIN 263/14 states that commanders and health professionals may ask Sailors, who are reasonably believed to be at risk for suicide or causing harm to others, to voluntarily allow their privately-owned ďŹ rearms to be stored for temporary safekeeping by the command. The decision is entirely up to the Sailor, and the commander or health care professional shall not offer incentives, disincentives or coerce the Sailor into turning over their ďŹ rearm. If the Sailor agrees to surrender their ďŹ rearm temporarily, the commander must ensure that the rights of the Sailor are protected.The weapon may be safeguarded on the installation or other storage location in coordination with local authorities, and returned upon request unless a predetermined storage period is agreed upon between the commander and the Sailor. Causes of suicide are complex, but consist of a chain of events leading an individual to feel distress and hopelessness, in combination with the capacity to take lethal action. Research indicates that immediate availability of lethal means directly increases the chance of a lethal attempt during a high-risk period. “Commanders and health professionals must identify Sailors at risk and provide all available assistance while maintaining Sailors’ rights,â€? said Smith. “Just as a person should be willing to turn over the car keys when not ďŹ t to drive, one should be willing to turn over their ďŹ rearm for safekeeping until he or she feels ďŹ t again.â€? Warning signs that may indicate suicide risk include
Guidance for reducing access to lethal means released From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) — The Navy released guidance for commanders and health professionals on reducing access to lethal means, as related to suicide prevention through voluntary storage of privately-owned ďŹ rearms Nov. 18. This guidance is part of a broader Department of Defense strategy to prevent suicide and related tragedies in the military, as promulgated in a recent memorandum from the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness). “Firearms were used in half of all Navy suicide deaths in 2012 and 2013, and continue to be the primary method used in both military and civilian suicides,â€? said Capt. Mike D. Smith, director, Navy Suicide Prevention Branch. “Reducing access to lethal means has been proven to save lives.These voluntary measures are intended to help Sailors avoid taking such irreversible actions to end their lives, and provide the opportunity for intervention and care.â€?
expressing thoughts of hurting oneself; developing plans and acquiring means to take lethal action; giving away possessions; engaging in uncharacteristic destructive behavior such as substance abuse or violence; changes in mood including anger or anxiety; loss of connection to others; and/or expressing feelings of hopelessness, purposelessness or feeling like a burden to others. If a Sailor objects to storage of their privately-owned ďŹ rearm, commanders may ask the Sailor to voluntarily dismantle their ďŹ rearm and allow the command to store critical pieces, ask the Sailor to store the ďŹ rearm with a safety-lock device and provide the key to a trusted adult, or ask the Sailor to store the ďŹ rearm and/or ammunition in the care of a trusted adult. In all situations where there is an immediate risk to life, commanders and health professionals must take immediate action to ensure the Sailor receives the necessary care, support and treatment to prevent harm and promote recovery. Guidance set forth by NAVADMIN 263/14 takes effect immediately and is in accordance with Section 1057 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2013.

Naval Leader Planning Guide released BY MCC (EXW/DV/SW/AW) JAYME PASTORIC Center for Personal and Professional Development Public Affairs The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) at Dam Neck Annex released the 2015 edition of the Naval Leader Planning Guide (NLPG) Nov. 21. This year’s NLPG includes a 15-month calendar (January 2015 to March 2016), a complete list of CPPD courses and services, and contact information for all CPPD learning sites and Navy College offices around the world. “We’re excited to launch this year’s Naval Leader Planning Guide,” said Capt. F.A. Reid, CPPD’s commanding officer.“As part of our mission to provide tools that help the fleet develop personal, professional and leadership competencies, our continual goal is to provide a valuable, highly useful product to Sailors and Marines to help them meet the Department of the Navy’s mission.” Commands can download the PDF version free-of-charge from Navy Knowledge Online under the Leadership tab.Users can also download a file that can be imported into Microsoft Outlook that will populate personal calendars with the dates found in the product. Commands are authorized to use the downloaded source files to arrange for printing at local facilities to satisfy unit-level requests for the guide.
The NLPG brings together a large amount of information in a compact, portable format. Also included are the Principles of Naval Leadership, and Navy and Marine Corps Selection Board and fitness report/evaluation schedules. NLPG additionally includes a directory of community managers and technical advisors at Navy Personnel Command and a map of the world with corresponding time zones. The 2015 product has the latest lists from the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program, as well as the Marine Corps Professional Reading Program. Senior Chief Machinist’s Mate Angel Delacruz, assigned as CPPD’s leadership team learning standards representative, said he uses the NLPG every day to stay upto-date with his tasks and appointments. “I have tried other planners, but I didn’t like them as much as the NLPG,” said Delacruz.“It’s an easy tool to use to plan ahead, while maintaining visibility on upcoming evaluations, mid-term counseling requirements and selection board schedules.” “Sailors want and need more than a calendar, and we hit the target with this year’s edition,” said CPPD Command Master Chief Dave Colton. “It’s a quick, ready reference for mentoring, detailer information and voluntary education that make the Naval Leader Planning Guide a one-stop shop for personal and professional development.”

Spreading Joy event honors husband’s memory BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer As the first anniversary of her husband Ben’s death approached, Robin Conley, Fleet and Family Service Center’s (FFSC) Exceptional Family Member case liaison at NAS Oceana, didn’t want to spend the day depressed and sad. Instead, Conley wanted to find a way to honor her husband of 13 years and bring joy to others, the same way
We just asked on that day, Sept. 17, if they would do one random act of kindness for someone that they know in honor of my husband Ben.” — Robin Conley

that he had spread joy throughout his life. It was through the suggestion in the blog of a friend who was also a widow that she came up with the “Spreading Joy” event for Sept. 17, marking one year since Ben passed away.“We just asked on that day, Sept. 17, if they would do one random act of kindness for someone that they know in honor of my husband Ben,” explained Conley. Ben, who went into cardiac arrest and passed away unexpectedly at age 52 on Sept. 17, 2013, spent much of his time volunteering throughout the community to help others. “He was a long-time volunteer at Sentara Leigh; he and I both volunteered at the USO at the airport. We volunteered for hospice care doing hospital visits. He volunteered as a greeter at Kempsville Christian Church. He just was always out

and about,” Conley explained. “He was a fun person to be around. He was genuine, everybody loved him. He was such an easy-going person, a genuine kind person” she added. His community service was even more remarkable given that Ben had been a quadriplegic since age 16. He was a passenger in a pickup truck when a semitruck driver fell asleep, ran through a stop sign and hit the truck he was riding in, and left the teen in a wheelchair for life. Conley and her two daughters created cards with Ben’s photo and information about him to be given to each recipient of an act of kindness.The family received 137 responses from friends, family and coworkers who were interested in participating in the unique tribute. “What we ask them to do is to do the random acts of kindness, give them [recipients] the card and then contact them and let us know what they did. If they felt comfortable, they could take a picture,” explained Conley. She opened her Facebook page on Sept. 17 to see about 70 photos from those who were spreading joy, receiving another 10 emails later, detailing what people had done to honor her husband. Spreading Joy events ranged from providing free gas,free groceries, free coffee, purchasing lunches, a five-day bus pass, flower deliveries, notes of encouragement, a $100 tip to a waiter, delivering baked goods to a hospice and food for firefighters. Several friends also dedicated a day of volunteering to Ben. But what touched Conley the most was that “most people didn’t even know Ben. They were willing to do generous acts in support of us.” But Spreading Joy didn’t end on Sept.

As late as Oct. 20, Conley was still receiving a few more notes but this time from those who had been the recipients of the original act of kindness and decided to pay it forward.After one of the participants left money at a vending machine for someone else to use, Conley received a note that said: “Ben Conley must have been a pretty spectacular human being for him to be honored this way.Two of us took the $2 and are paying it forward to continue to honor your loved one.” As well as local acts of kindness, Conley received photos from as far away as Japan, Hawaii and Canada, who spread joy to surprised recipients. “Instead of being a sad day for us, like we expected, it wasn’t at all … At the end of the day, it was exactly as we wanted it to be,” Conley said.

President announces Hagel’s resignation as defense secretary BY AIR FORCE TECH. SGT. JAKE RICHMOND DoD News, Defense Media Activity WASHINGTON— Praising Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s “class and integrity,” President Barack Obama announced Nov. 24 at the White House that Hagel will leave his post. The president said Hagel has agreed to remain in his position until a successor is nominated and confirmed. For that, Obama said, he is “extraordinarily lucky and grateful.” “When I asked Chuck to serve as secretary of defense, we were entering a significant period of transition,”Obama said.That transition included the drawdown in Afghanistan, the need to prepare our forces for future missions, and tough fiscal choices to keep our military strong and ready. Last month, Obama said, Hagel came to him to discuss the final quarter of his presidency. It was then that Hagel initially determined that, having guided the department through this transition, it was an appropriate time for him to complete his service, the president added.
About Chuck Hagel Chuck Hagel, who served in the Army during the Vietnam War, was sworn in as the nation’s 24th secretary of defense on Feb. 27, 2013. He was the first enlisted combat veteran to lead the Defense Department.
A steady hand “Over nearly two years, Chuck has been an exemplary defense secretary,” Obama said, crediting Hagel for providing a steady hand during the modernization of the administration’s strategy and budget to meet long-term threats, while still responding to immediate challenges, such as ISIL and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Hagel said he is “immensely proud” of what the department has accomplished during his tenure. “I believe we have set not only this department, the Department of Defense, but the nation on a stronger course toward security, stability and prosperity,” the secretary said.
Courtesy photo Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel shakes hands with President Barack Obama at the White House Nov. 24. The president announced that Hagel would resign his position as defense secretary.
Privileged to serve Hagel called his opportunity to serve as defense secretary the “greatest privilege of my life.” In the meantime, Hagel said,“I will stay on this job and work just as hard as I have over the last couple of years, every day, every moment, until my successor is confirmed by the United States Senate.” The United States of America can proud-

ly claim the strongest military the world has ever known, Obama said. “That’s the result of the investments made over many decades, the blood and treasure and sacrifices of many generations,” he said.“It’s the result of the character and wisdom of those who lead them as well, including a young Army sergeant in Vietnam who rose to serve as our nation’s 24th secretary of defense.”

Prowler: wraps up 42 years of service with ďŹ nal deployment aboard Bush — Continued from page 3 and reduce costs to overall maintenance, training and ight operations with the additional defense and attack capabilities of the F/A-18. Additionally, the Prowler splits the workload between four people, a necessity without air-to-air radar and other modern amenities. The Growler is a two-seater jet, which halves the crew. “Having a crew of four is great in terms of workload,â€?said Likert.“The backseaters also assist with navigation, general situational awareness and communication. Overall, we’re all there to back one another up. A good crew that gets along well can make for a great time on a long mission.â€? “The mission is not going to change a lot: air-to-air capability with the Growler is better,â€?said Jason.“Connectivity, command and control are big advantages for situational awareness of the crews. The change in airframe won’t fundamentally change the mission, but it will be done cheaper and more efďŹ ciently.â€? Cheever said the changeover will save hundreds of millions of dollars a year due to simplifying the supply and maintenance infrastructure. The commonality between parts and procedures is a huge beneďŹ t. The transition to fewer airframes will make the job

easier for the crew, even if it comes with a little bit of sentimentality. “It’s sort of a bittersweet thing,â€? said Likert.“Of course, having as many hours as a lot of us have in this aircraft, you get attached to it, and there are certain aspects we’re going to miss. On the other hand, it is an old airplane, it’s stubborn and it tends to break sometimes. It ďŹ ghts you the whole way, and the Growler is the newest of the new designs. It’s got a lot of new tools that make the workload
on the aircrew less signiďŹ cant.â€? Both Likert and the skipper said they were excited to y the new aircraft, but they will not cease ight operations with the Prowler.The squadron will be prepared to deploy, but that is not anticipated or projected. “The air wing coming off deployment has to maintain a level of readiness just in case of a national emergency,â€? said Jason.“The Prowler is not going to stop ying after deployment.We’re going to maintain a level of readiness to support that requirement.â€? The Prowler is leaving service on a high note. “I’m proud of the squadron for concluding the career of the Prowler with honor,â€?said Jason.“I don’t think we could have done anything more to leave a more enduring impression of the excellence of this aircraft than we have.â€? Cheever said he agrees that the source of the Prowler’s success lies in the people who surround it. Everyone involved with the Prowler, from its design phase to its implementation over the years, are responsible for the jet’s achievements. “The overarching message is,‘It’s all about the team,’â€? said Cheever. Navy leadership tries to accomplish current and future missions by understanding technological developments and listening to the needs of today’s pilots. Each man insisted the Prowler works, and that it’s an impressive and capable war-machine; however, the Growler provides certain advantages. Cheever said retiring the EA-6B and transitioning in the EA-18G is the next logical step we need to take to win wars.
