Vet advisory board to seek additional levy By GREG SKINNER Kitsap Navy News
The Kitsap county Veterans Advisory Board is exploring two proposals to raise more money for the county Veteran’s Assistance Fund in the face of growing need among the county’s 36,000 resident veterans. Options discussed during Wednesday’s monthly advisory board meeting were instituting a one-tenth of one percent sales tax or seeking a veterans and humans services levy at .5 cents per thousand of assessed value on property taxes.

Dream come true Navy veterans take on the small business world By Sarah Kehoe Kitsap Navy News
Yeoman Kelly Smith considers it a joy balancing owning a new restaurant and working his full-time shore duty job in the Navy. “It is a challenge because I work very long hours and have no free weekends,” Smith said. “But my wife and I always dreamed of owning a restaurant, so I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.” Smith and his wife Rachel opened The Waters Restaurant & Cafe in Port Orchard this March. The restaurant serves classic American food, such as hamburgers, french fries and onion rings. “We call our food ‘gourmet American,’”
Kelly said. “We make everything fresh and with a little twist. For example, we have a hamburger where we put bacon inside and outside the patty.” Kelly has served in the military for almost six years. As a yeoman, he is responsible for overseeing daily operations and check-ins at bases in Kitsap County. “I have loved my time at the Navy because it’s allowed me to travel and meet all kinds of great people,” Kelly said. “But my wife and I knew I needed to find something to do for when I am done with the Navy.” Kelly is among the veterans and active duty Navy building businesses in Kitsap County. The exact number is unknown because hopeful owners are only asked to show business licenses, not military identification, according to a spokesperson at the City of Bremerton’s Business Tax and Licensing Department. And the Chamber of Commerce does not track or keep statistics for active duty or veteran owned businesses. Navy veteran and Minuteman Press Printing owner Darwin Aiken said most in the Navy are forced out after serving for 20
or 30 years. He retired for no other reason than it was his time – the end of a Navy career and he decided to do something away from submarines that he worked on during his service time. “You can’t spend too much time at the Navy; they won’t allow you to,” Aiken said. “After 20 years you are winding down your career and you can’t do it for more than 30.” Aiken served in the navy for 26 years, working as a machinist on submarines and retiring as master chief. He prints and binds items for local businesses including business cards, announcements and newsletter brochures. “It was a yearning I had to own my own place and work for myself,” Aiken said. “I love helping out the public by providing services, so when the chance came for me to do this, I grabbed it.” While fully tracking the number of veteran owned businesses and their share of local markets locally is unlikely, the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs hosts a veteran and servicemember owned busi-

Pacific Partnership 2011 returned the U.S. Navy on a mission to an isolated South Pacific area for the first time since the Second World War. When the Pacific Partnership 2011 team onboard amphibious transport dock ship USS Cleveland reached the island nation of Vanuatu, Medical and Dental Civic Assistance Programs were needed to bring humanitarian and civic assistance to those in far-flung locales. The mission on Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu, was the second stop in the five-nation deployment that commenced on April 28 and wrapped up on May 9. Lt. Cmdr Brian Hatch, Naval Hospital Bremerton optometrist, led a MED/ DENCAP team into the remote Nokuku area on the rugged northern coast of Espirito Santo, the largest island of the western Pacific republic, on April 30 and May 1 “The Nokuku area is comprised of several small tribal villages, with a population of

approximately 800 to 1,000,” said Hatch. “The region is largely isolated by massive surrounding mountain ranges to the north, south and west, and impassable to ground transportation. Due to the geographical remoteness and distance from Cleveland’s point of anchorage – 65 straight line nautical miles – air assets had to be utilized to transport the MED/DENCAP team and all their equipment to and fro the operational site on a daily basis.” According to Hatch, the indigenous population had traditionally gotten basic
CHAT TER ARMY TO TEST DREAMING AT NHB The US Army is expecting to put out a request for proposals to conduct research and development of cognitive behavioral treatment for PTSD, traumatic brain injuries. The “Power of Dreaming” program, which includes biofeedback and virtual reality components is expected to be funded for 27 months.
FAKE VETERANS ASSOCIATION FINED Though the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board can’t find him, they’ve fined “Bobby Thompson” $18,000 for violations related to donations made by his U.S. Navy Veterans Association Minnesota Chapter to Republican political campaigns. The association is said to have chapters around the nation. Nationally, the veteran’s
association run by Thompson, who remains at large, has been portrayed to be at the center of a decadeslong national fundraising scandal involving his U.S. Navy Veterans Association in which the St. Petersberg Times could find none of the 82 listed officers in a sixmonth search going back 25 years of public records.

Hatch estimated that most villagers have never received medical or dental attention in their lifetime. The last time many of the villagers had last been on the receiving end of a U.S. Navy
mission was during World War II. “They were incredibly grateful for the Pacific Partnership 2011 presence,” said Hatch.

EISENHOWER XO SCANDAL Allegations of an “improper relationship” are behind the firing of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower executive officer Capt. Robert Gamberg. Relieved by Rear Adm. Ted Branch, Gamberg was given a punitive letter of reprimand for his relationship with a nonNavy person, according to dailypress.com.
CANADIAN SUB BUMPS SEAFLOOR The HMCS Corner Brook, a Victoria, B.C. Based Canadian submarine, hit “bottom” June 4, during submerged advanced officer training maneuvers near Nootka Sound on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Two people were reported as injured when the former British Upholder-class submarine hit bottom with 60 people on board.
As a show of appreciation the tribe prepared a special ceremony for the team at the conclusion of the MED/ DENCAP. All team members were presented with handcrafted fresh leis. The village chiefs spoke of the renewed friendship with the U.S. from the days of WWII. “They shared remembrances when the GIs treated them with kindness, to this event where we (again) showed them our warm hearts by rendering medical care,” said Hatch. “The lead chief from the village of Laj Moli then presented a gift to me as the site leader,” said Hatch. “Before

presenting the gift, he asked the regional chief of culture to explain the significance of the gift, for it is verbally that they pass down their history and tradition from one generation to another.” The gift was a barbed war spear that had been passed down from chief to chief and generation to generation. “It was explained that the spear was used in time of defense and war. It was not used to kill animals, only man,” said Hatch, noting that due to the barbs on the spear, once entered the flesh, it could not be withdrawn. “The spear then had to be ran all the way through.” “The significance of this gift to me was that it was presented to me in peace and goodwill even though it strikes fear in the heart of beholders. Similarly, the presence of military personnel can be generally perceived by foreign civilians as weapons of war. However like our WWII predecessors, we came in peace to offer a helping hand. Like the spear, our services were presented in peace and goodwill.” Another tradition on the island is the ceremonial fermented kava. Drinking the concoction as part of the ceremony was not a highlight for Hatch. “Receiving the spear was cool. Being handed the conch to drink a

Veterans Business Registry
On page one this week we started to look at the relationship between the Navy and the local job scene which, as noted previously, is about equal for veterans and non-veterans. The fairly quick look at active duty and veteran entrepreneurs revealed that the local Chambers of Commerce do not track veteran owed businesses among their membership – nor do local cities. Given that the Navy is the county’s largest employer, we expected to find something different in local record keeping. The idea to list and publicize veteran-owned businesses in the state took a recent step forward with the creation of the Business Registry at the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs website. Tacoma area business man and Coast Guard veteran Darrel Bowman won the Small Business Administration Veteran Small Business Champion of the Year 2011 for his efforts to get the registry legislation passed through. Along with the registry, which serves to connect private businesses and individuals motivated to do REG business with veterans and veteran owned companies, the state, at Bowman’s behest, KINNER also tacked on plans to send 3 percent of its business to veteran-owned companies. Bowman said the state’s agreement to increase its business with vets is more a “hand up” than a “hand out.” We agree, largely because veterans were never promised handouts but rather a little advantage after their service time ended. Bowman sells the registry as way for the 99 percent of Americans that have not served their country in the military during the last decade of war to contribute. Critics of the registry and its three percent for vet businesses say it’s existence is not well promoted or well known and underutilized. That may be, but it’s a step in the right direction to helping the nation live up to the promises made to the young men and women of the US military who join under the pretense of honor and duty that is supposed to be supported and appreciated by a thankful nation. Given the continued trend of financing troubles for the evergrowing Department of Veterans Affairs and the numbers of veterans from the current wars that will soon seek services until the grave, one way to ease the burden on the limits and inadequacies of VA bureaucracy is to let the private sector to the work. Support veteran-owned businesses on the registry that hire veterans into companies that offer full-time benefits and and environment that veterans find agreeable to be employed in.

Owen not one to point out faults Looking back, it seems obvious that Owen, 8, would be the one who chose not to tell me that our friends Morgan and Lincoln were in the driveway loading Dustin’s new kayak onto the roof of the minivan. (Note: there is an old literary rule which says that any story beginning with a kayak being loaded onto the top of a car is bound to end with one falling off.) I was inside making lunches. Dustin was at work. According to Ford, who also was on the driveway, he told Owen to tell me that our friends had arrived. But when Owen came inside, he didn’t mention it, not even after I said, “Is Dad here yet?” which would have been the perfect opportunity for him to say, “No, but Miss Morgan is.” Owen is a peace-keeper. A mediator. He wishes nothing more than to quietly go about his business with as little fanfare as possible. As a baby, he was a late walker and talker. The doctors did all sorts of tests, checking for abnormalities. Then one day, we were sitting on the floor of our living room in Pensacola, Fla., when Owen, then 2-years old, stood up and reached out his right foot. “Look, he’s taking his first step!” I screamed. Dustin looked up from the newspaper. Owen, who up until this point had relied solely on the

Army crawl to get from Point A to Point B, walked three steps... AVY and then he broke into a run. “My God, is he going to do ISE laps around the couch now?” Dustin asked. ARAH Years later, Owen also was a MILEY late bike-rider. He simply had no interest in learning. I had accepted the possibility of eventually having a teenager who cannot ride a bike. Then, I was blow drying my hair when Owen came upstairs and said, “When you’re done, come outside and see me ride my bike.” Sure enough, he was speeding up and down the street on the miniature bicycle we had bought for him when he was five. So it makes sense, then, that Owen is naturally and effortlessly forgiving of others’ faults and slow starts. He is not one to point out someone else’s mistakes. Ford, 10, on the other hand, is sort of like our inhouse, not-appointed fact-checker. You don’t want to make a mistake in front of Ford, who always had trouble in preschool because he corrected the teachers’ spelling. But back to the kayak. By the time I had made our lunches and came outside, Morgan and Lincoln

Conn. commander relieved, mishandled informaion and lied The commander of the USS Connecticut (SSN 22) was fired Monday after an investigation concluded he “miss-handled classified documents,” a Navy official said Tuesday. Varney was awarded non-judicial punishment on June 6 for violations of UCMJ Article 92, violation of a lawful general order; Article 107, making a false official statement and Article 134, wrongful interference in an adverse administrative proceeding. Lt. Ed Early, Spokesperson for Submarine Group 9, said the investigation into Varney’s UCMJ violations was complete and gave no further details. Varney returned in late April from ICEX 2011, a biannual Arctic science and under-ice tactical development
mission. Connecticut played a large part in testing new undersea technologies during ICEX, including high-frequency sonar for safe Arctic operations and the Raytheon Deep Siren acoustic communications system, Early said in April. During the Arctic mission, connecticut also hosted secretary of the Navy Ray Maybus and several members of Congress. Comdr. Mike Varney has commanded the Seawolf-class attack submarine since February 2009. Capt. Benjamin Pearson, deputy commander, SUBDEVRON 5, replaced Varney, who has been temporarily reassigned to Navy Region Northwest. –Kitsap Navy News
Jackson Gold returns BANGOR, WASH. (NNS) -- Following a day of heavy rain, the sun was shining on Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor’s Delta Pier on May 26 as the Gold Crew of the Trident ballistic missile submarine USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN 730) returned to its homeport, completing a 56-day strategic deterrent patrol. “The crew performed extremely well throughout a challenging patrol,” said Cmdr. Jeffrey Farah, Gold Crew commanding officer. “The underway provided an excellent opportunity for the crew to hone their warfighting skills as Trident submariners.” Fourteen Gold Crew enlisted Sailors completed their submarine qualifications during Jackson’s patrol, which began
April 1. As a result, those Sailors earned the right to wear the famed submariner’s “dolphins.” Also, 23 Gold Crew Sailors – two officers and 21 enlisted – were advanced or promoted while underway. “I’m very proud of all of the hard work and teamwork displayed during the patrol,” said Senior Chief Logistics Specialist (SS) Christopher Martin, Gold Crew chief of the boat. One Jackson Sailor, Lt. j.g. Ryan Sudlow, became the father of a baby boy. Henry M. Jackson is one of eight ballistic missile submarines homeported at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, providing the survivable leg of the nation’s strategic deterrent forces.
VA expands traumatic injury payments
WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Department of Veterans Affairs announced June 3, Sailors who suffered a qualifying injury on or after Oct. 7, 2001, may be eligible beginning Oct. 1, for a payment of $25,000 to $100,000 regardless of where the injury occurred. The Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection program became effective Dec. 1, 2005. This program provides benefits to service members who have suffered physical losses as the result of traumatic injuries. TSGLI originally provided for payment to two groups of service members; all service members covered under Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance who suffered qualifying losses on or after Dec. 1, 2005, regardless of where those injuries
occurred. And, those who suffered qualifying losses between Oct. 7, 2001, and Nov. 30, 2005, in support of Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom. With the passage of the Veterans’ Benefits Act of 2010, service members who incurred qualifying injuries outside of OEF or OIF during the retroactive period may be eligible to receive benefits, regardless of whether they had SGLI coverage at the time of their injury. Beginning Oct. 1, 2011, active and Reserve Sailors who suffered qualifying injuries from events such as training accidents or motor vehicle accidents between Oct. 7, 2001 and Nov. 30, 2005, while serving stateside or in other areas outside of OEF or OIF, can now receive the same traumatic injury benefits as those who
served in OEF and OIF. Such injuries did not have to occur while on active duty or active duty for training. TSGLI covers a range of losses including amputations; limb salvage; paralysis; burns; loss of sight, hearing or speech; facial reconstruction; 15-day continuous hospitalization; coma; and loss of activities of daily living due to traumatic brain injury or other traumatic injuries.

Region honors Midway memory
OAK HARBOR, WASH. (NNS) – Commands around Navy Region Northwest hosted Battle of Midway commemoration ceremonies, June 3, with four events held nearly simultaneously around the Puget Sound at 9 a.m. The theme of this year’s ceremonies was Past and Present Perspectives on Aviation Dominance. Regarded as the turning point in the Pacific during World War II, U.S. Navy carrier strike forces, augmented
by shore-base bombers and torpedo planes, decisively defeated an Imperial Japanese navy carrier task force during the battle. “This day is for Sailors to understand our heritage, the sacrifices, and really heroic examples that were exhibited at the Battle of Midway,� said Rear Adm. Douglas T. Biesel, commander, Navy Region Northwest, which hosted the ceremony held at Naval Base Kitsap. “It was through initiative and ingenuity that our Navy persevered.�

He shared his recollection of the battle, thanked the audience and asked that they always remember the service members who lost their lives during the battle. “It’s good for the people to learn that freedom wasn’t free, and this ceremony is a way to express that,� said Naval Base Kitsap Bremerton ceremony participant Harold Dilist, a World War II and Korean War veteran with 11 years of naval service. “They gave the ultimate sacrifice to give us freedom. We are just the lucky ones who got back.� During the battle, Japan lost four carriers, a heavy cruiser, three destroyers and 256 planes. The United States lost Yorktown, a destroyer and 145 planes.

and continue to be free,� said Culinary Specialist 1st Class (SW) Michael O. Bell of Harvey, La., assigned to Admiral Nimitz Hall dining facility at NAS Whidbey Island. “It’s great to attend these events because you meet the service members who participated in past
wars, it’s been an honor for me to be here and pay tribute to those service members.� The actions of the service members in battle prevented Japanese forces from capturing Midway Island and it marked the dawn of the U.S. Navy’s global prominence and the coming of age of carrier aviation. Events included flyovers and wreath laying ceremonies. “This ceremony today is remembering those who have gone before us and made the sacrifice as we do today,� said Ens. Shirley Barraclough of Virginia Beach, Va., assistant air traffic control officer at NAS Whidbey Island and event coordinator. The Battle of Midway cemented the need for carrier aviation, showcasing carrier aviation’s ability to deliver credible combat power, an enduring value today and is widely regarded as the most important naval battle of the Pacific in World War II. Approximately one month after the Battle of Coral Sea and six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy decisively defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy and turned the war in U.S. favor. At Naval Magazine Indian Island more than 50 attendees included five World War II veterans and six Olympic Peninsula members of the Association of Naval Aviators.
WWII Master Chief reflects on Midway
GROTON, CONN. (NNS) – A retired U.S. Navy master chief petty officer who served in the Battle of Midway shared his experience and reflected on the battle’s place in history during a Battle of Midway commemoration ceremony held at Naval Submarine Base New London, June 3. Master Chief Deen Brown was a radioman while serving aboard the Tambor-class submarine USS Trout (SS-202) during the Battle of Midway. He related not only how the submarine force played a key role in the watershed battle, but also the monumental contributions the force had during World War II. “The Battle of Midway was indeed the turning point for the war,� said Brown. “The Japanese were the aggressors before the battle, but afterward the tide had turned. Their prime concern [after the battle] was to defend their outposts, which ultimately they couldn’t defend in the end.� Brown described his experience aboard Trout and the overall submarine mission during the battle. While
the Japanese force had deployed 16 submarines, the U.S. had a little more on station to help defend the Island of Midway. “We deployed 19 submarines, but 11 were positioned in the semi-circle southwest of Midway,� said Brown while emphasizing their positioning was the key in protecting the island from Japanese invasion. “We had to hold that line, the semi-circle around Midway to ensure the loaded troop transport couldn’t gain access.� Brown was introduced during the ceremony by Rear Adm. Michael McLaughlin, commander, Submarine Group 2; and Capt. Marc Denno, the 49th commanding officer of Naval Submarine Base New London, who provided the opening remarks. “By the spring of 1942, the outcome of the war was very much in doubt as Americans began to think that the Japanese military was invincible,� said McLaughlin. “But the Japanese didn’t factor in one key important element, the American spirit.� According to Naval History and
Heritage Command, Trout was one of many submarines sent to take part in the Battle of Midway, but her contribution was limited to picking up Japanese survivors days after the battle began. During World War II the submarine force comprised less than two percent of the Navy’s fleet but sank more than 30 percent of Japan’s navy, including eight aircraft carriers. More importantly, U.S. submarines virtually strangled the Japanese economy by sinking almost 5 billion tons of shipping, more than 60 percent of Japanese merchant marine, according to congressional records. The Battle of Midway is an important marker in the naval heritage of our nation because it changed the course of the war in the Pacific and world history, within just a few short minutes June 4, 1942. Battle of Midway commemoration ceremonies will be held around the world, to include wreath laying ceremonies at all Navy regions and at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C., June 3.

Navy to institutionalize lessons from decade of war By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, (AFPS) – Committed to preserving and building on expertise garnered during the past decade of conflict, the Navy is hard at work institutionalizing lessons learned as the military draws down in Iraq and looks toward a drawdown in Afghanistan as well, one of the fleet’s top training officers reported. Navy Capt. Michael White, chief operating officer for Naval Education and Training Command, said the Navy is banking on increased use of simulation and realistic operational scenarios administered by a cadre of experienced sailors to ensure lessons learned since the 9/11 terror attacks don’t fall by the wayside. “As the conflict draws down, clearly we may not be doing some of the same missions as we do today,”
said White, a rear admiral selectee. “So the question becomes, ‘How do you keep that in reserve?’ And essentially, we believe that is the legacy of our sailors” who will draw on experience they are gaining now to train the future fleet. Unlike garrison-based ground forces, the Navy always has been a forwarddeployed organization, White noted. That requires constant vigilance and readiness to respond to conditions as they arise. “As our sailors are going through training and learning from their instructors, the end goal is to join a unit -- a ship or squadron or construction battalion, whatever that unit might be -- that will be forwarddeployed and ready for any action that might come up,” he said. And with plenty of examples of deployments that began in peacetime, then changed based on world situations, White
said, there’s clear recognition throughout the Navy of the need to be ready to execute the mission, regardless of its nature, on a moment’s notice. “It’s that forwarddeployed mentality that will keep our folks sharp,” he said. Facing the future, White said, the fleet is as combathardened as it’s ever been, enriched by new capabilities developed during the past 10 years. The Navy’s 15 learning centers, established several years ago as part of the Navy’s “Revolution in Training” initiative, is ensuring the specialized career training provided remains aligned with activities being conducted within the fleet, White said. In addition, human performance requirements reviews routinely bring together the centers’ learning specialists with subject matter experts from the fleet to keep their
programs as current and relevant as possible. “Our goal is to make sure that as things evolve, we can continuously adapt and improve our training process,” White said. Explosive ordnance disposal divers, for example, have incorporated counterimprovised explosive device tactics, techniques and procedures into their core curriculum. In addition to evaluating the threat, they have become expert in post-blast analysis and investigations, and continually evolve their training to reflect current operations, White said. Navy security forces have undergone a transformation, particularly within the master-at-arms and gunner’s mate ratings. Rather than focusing on basic weapons training that emphasized weapons handling and employment in relatively benign training scenarios, the training has been amped up to incorporate the all-important decision-making process. “The Center for Security Forces has really stepped that up to include judgment and engagement in the base training,” White said. “It’s not only in how to employ a weapon, but what decision process do you use in determining when you should employ it.” This includes not just static weapon employment, but also the ability to “shoot, move, communicate and survive,” he said, whether the sailor is operating on the ground in Afghanistan, or protecting his ship from attack. The Navy also has refined its longstanding visit, board, search and seize, or VBSS, mission, particularly in light of increased piracy off the coast of Somalia. “The training for these teams has increased to not only include the basics of boarding a ship and searching it, but to do it in a more tactical manner, where you have perhaps a Navy boat crew and a Marine Corps team that might go aboard a ship,” White said. “We are conducting the training today as part of the improvements in the adaptation to what we are seeing in the fleet.” Other major changes have occurred within the Navy’s Center for Information Dominance, where sailors are trained to use their computer systems and networks as more than just tools.
“We are teaching our information technicians to protect networks [and] to exploit networks and really to do it on a level that we haven’t done before,” White said. He noted that many of the technicians are getting commercial certifications so they have the skills to employ commercial tools that have become critical to Navy systems and networks. Throughout the fleet, White reported a big emphasis on promoting language, cultural and regional expertise. “We recognized the gap that our sailors had, where they would go into
a country to be part of the conflict or humanitarian operations … and we hadn’t really prepared them to be ambassadors, if you will, of the United States,” he said. So the Navy stood up the Center for Language, Regional Expertise and Culture at Corry Station Naval Technical Training Center in Pensacola, Fla., in March 2006. This center helps to prepare sailors for the multiple and diverse cultures they will encounter while conducting the full spectrum of military operations across the globe,

LEVY | FROM PAGE 1
Vet advisory board to ask county for levy Either plan would require approval and action by the Board of County Commissioners. The veterans board expects to advise the board of commissioners to pursue one of the two options during a county work session on June 21. King County Voters in 2005 passed a six-year veteran and human services levy that pumped $13 million into their relief fund. It is due to expire in 2012. Leif Bentsen, human services planner Kitsap County Veterans Assistance Program said a similar levy in Kitsap County would raise $1.5 million for their fund. The sales-tax option would provide the fund with $3.2 million, he said. Board chair Fred Scheffler prefers the levy over sales tax because the state’s business environment is tough enough already. Any additional hit on business counteracts the boards desire to improve the county’s job base available to veterans and in doing so reduce the need for cash relief from the fund. A real estate tax for veterans services is easier for the community to get behind, Scheffler said. The board, in its fifth year overseeing the
fund, has seen the dollar amount of direct services provided to needy veterans increase from $59,000 in 2006 to $332,000 in 2010. The board primarily uses the fund to help veterans in need with rent, food and utilities. The assistance fund helped 160 veterans of the 168 that applied for aid in 2004. By 2010, 746 veterans applied for aid and 370 of them received it, according to fund
“They’re on the wrong side of the economic stick, they face a greater challenge in the future.” – Board chair Fred Scheffler documents. In 2010, rent was the largest funded need with $157,000 to cover needs. Electricity payments to Puget Sound Energy were second at $59,000 in aid appropriated to veterans for power. County commissioners suspended the current veteran’s levy for one taxyear 2010. Scheffler said at the current rate of funding, $320,000 annually from a state mandated levy, and the growing rate of need for assistance for the fund will pass each other in 2012 and the fund will either go into a negative or aid to veterans in need be cut.
“It won’t do,” he said Scheffler, Viet Nam veteran and business man, said the population increasing in need comes from the baby boomer’s war – Viet Nam era veterans. He expects the job climate to suffer further as the economy slides into a double-dip recession and create more demand of the assistance fund. “They’re on the wrong side of the economic stick,” Scheffler said. “They face a greater challenge in the future.” Bentsen said the levy would likely mirror King County’s with 50/50 split, half going to fund services for veterans, military personnel and their families, including services specific to veterans’ needs such as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder counseling, specialized employment assistance to veterans, domestic violence counseling, housing assistance for homeless vets and mental health counseling. The other half would go to housing assistance, homelessness prevention, mental health counseling, substance abuse prevention and treatment, and employment assistance for non veterans. Scheffler said he doesn’t know how the board of commissioners might vote once advised on the issues and plans to fill needs for veterans in the community. But he definitely expects to be heard. “I’ve come to expect a fair and open evaluation of veterans’ needs in this county,” Scheffler said.

COLUMN | FROM PAGE 4 had already strapped the new, yellow kayak, like a ripe banana, to the top of our minivan. We were ready for a day of fun on the lake. When we got on the highway, the wind caught the straps securing the kayak to the rack. They hummed and buzzed with the car’s speed and acceleration. The noise grew so loud that eventually Ford and I had to scream to talk to one another. (Owen doesn’t talk much in the car.) “That wind noise is pretty annoying, huh?” I yelled over my shoulder. “Yeah, but it’s nothing like when we rode with dad to return a kayak to Prospect Harbor,” Ford yelled back. “Alot of wind noise then, too?” I asked. “Not so much wind noise,” he said. “Mostly, we couldn’t talk over the
scraping sound on the roof. The kayak was sliding to the left and right.” Ford motioned with his hands. “And then, at one point, the kayak slid down the windshield so far that I couldn’t see out my side.” This was the first I had heard about Dustin’s trip with the kids and the kayak. But it reminded me of the time Dustin took the kids to the wrong fast food restaurant for their own birthday party, and of the time he left the car in drive before getting out, and I watched him chase it down the street. In all cases, Owen’s lips were sealed. Unlike the rest of us, he would never speak a word of his dad’s Chevy-Chase moments. Ford continued: “And how many straps are on this kayak? Two? I think Dad used like 10, and still that kayak blew back and forth, scraping the top of
the car.” I looked at Owen in the rearview mirror. He looked apologetic as he nodded and said, “It’s all true, Mom.” Then he graciously added: “We have a really fun dad, don’t we?” And: “But let’s not say anything to him about it, or he might feel bad.” I had to agree, on all accounts. Dustin is one of the smartest people I know, and yet he can’t remember to put the filter in the coffee pot before he fills it with water. He likes to say I make his life “less boring,” but the feeling is definitely mutual. Still, the moral here is clear: If in doubt (of anything from your abilities to your equipment), bring Owen, not Ford. – Sarah Smiley is a syndicated columnist, author and Navy wife.

LESSONS | FROM PAGE 7 White explained. It has expanded to include courses covering about 182 countries, with special emphasis on subjects such as Islam, Afghan culture, Middle Eastern etiquette, and even the Taliban. “The idea is that as sailors deploy, we can give them a brief background on what they might be exposed to so they don’t make those common mistakes that we wouldn’t perceive in our American culture that might be very offensive to our partners,” White said. At the high end of this training continuum, the Navy is an active participant in Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Mike Mullen’s AfghanistanPakistan Hands program. This program, launched in 2009, provides a core cadre of mostly mid-career officers with specialized language and cultural skills. Looking ahead to the end of the current conflicts, White said, the Navy plans to make wide use of simulation to present sailors with realistic, demanding training scenarios. “To truly replicate the challenge of a wartime environment is tough, so what we are training to do at Naval Education and Training Command is to use technology to help us,” White said. Bridge simulators, for example, train bridge teams to enter a threatened port or react to an attack at sea. A mock village at the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., teaches EOD technicians to identify, defuse and dispose of IEDs and other ordnance. Simulators transform traditional classrooms into settings that challenge students to make judgments about the best way to respond to a particular threat. “It is absolutely amazing, within a few minutes of the scenario starting, how quickly you become immersed in it and forget your surroundings as your brain tries to work through these complicated things,” White said. “It is not real combat, but we believe we can certainly induce some stress. I can tell you from personal experience that you feel it. The perspiration begins, and it really is challenging.” As it strives to introduce the emotional, intellectual and physical rigors of combat into its training, the Navy is applying another lesson of the current conflicts and is helping to give sailors the tools to cope with those demands. “We want to build better resilience into our sailors through the stresses of combat and deployment,” White said. “We are learning a lot from subject-matter experts in industry and other militaries, and really trying to build that into an effective training tool to help our sailors cope with these stresses so they can be resilient and ready to deploy whenever and wherever they are needed.”
Married Cmdrs retire after world of service
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. (NNS) -- A husband and his wife bid farewell to the Navy during a retirement ceremony at the SEAL Heritage Center aboard Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek- Fort Story, Va., June 3. Cmdr. Randall Miller, Commander, U.S. Second Fleet; and his wife of 30 years, Cmdr. Nanette Miller, Joint Enabling Capabilities Combat Command; are leaving the Navy after serving for a combined 64 years of service. “To end up walking out the door from the Department of the Navy after 30 years of service with my bride is probably the best idea we’ve ever had,” said Randall Miller. As a Sailor and officer in the Naval Special Warfare community, he’s been on 17, six-month deployments and travelled around the world six times. Reflecting on 30 years in uniform, he said he will miss the SEAL family and camaraderie. “I will miss being part of the team
that on any given day makes a difference in people’s lives and shapes the future,” he said. As a Sailor and officer in the intelligence community, Nanette Miller worked as an intelligence analyst, planner, training officer and program manager for a myriad of organizations, bringing the latest and greatest information to Sailors throughout the fleet. She said as she begins the next chapter in her life, she will always remember that sense of pride of wearing the uniform. “The honor you feel wearing the uniform and knowing that you are 100 percent committed to the greatest nation on earth; the uniform is the outward symbol of that commitment,” said Nanette Miller. They said there were times when the distance between them did add stress to their relationship, but as with everything, sacrifices were made. “The girls were in middle school at the time, and he had been gone for 300

But after a few heart-to-heart talks, Randall and Nanette agreed that it was time for a change of pace and shifted priorities for a little while. Through promotions and hardships, laughter and tears, the Millers said they have remained committed to one another. Their dreams were inspired by a quote about service to the U.S. Navy given by a former president. “President John F. Kennedy said it best when he said, ‘I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: I served in the United States Navy.” As they enter retirement, Randall Miller will become a plastics fabricator and design specialist, and Nanette Miller is uncertain of what her next career will be.

Officials emphasized that active duty service members and their families will not have to worry about coverage during the transfer process, because they are continuously covered under TRICARE. Once settled, officials said, they can confirm coverage on the Beneficiary Web Enrollment website. Active-duty service mem-
bers or family members who forget to notify their current regional contractor of their upcoming move still have the option to contact the new regional contractor to transfer enrollment over the phone, officials said. Other options include transferring during military base in-processing, using the Beneficiary Web Enrollment site or downloading and completing an enrollment application, DD Form 2876, to mail. Service members and their families also can visit a local TRICARE Service Center.
Environmental impacts of island habitat while training there SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND, CALIF. (NNS) – Navy Reserve Sailors from Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 1 teamed up with San Clemente Island, Calif., marine biologists June 3, to get a better understanding of the natural habitat they will be working in while participating in Exercise Shark Tank 2011. Sailors assigned to MSRON 1 and 11 are currently training on the island as part of the month-long exercise, which focuses on multiphase expeditionary squadron level training and certifications.
“A lot of the work that we’re doing now is to support the Navy not getting what’s called “critical habitat� designated on the island,� said Navy Region Southwest Marine Biologist Suzanne Graham. “In order for that not to happen, we are doing studies and monitoring to see what’s going on in the inter tidal [zones].� Graham added that in exchange for being proactive about managing the endangered species, regulatory agencies give the Navy the go-ahead to continue to perform exercises like Shark Tank 2011. “This is a natu-

Comfort restores 101-year-old woman’s vision TUMACO, COLOMBIA (NNS) – Personnel embarked aboard Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort performed a cataract removal surgery on a 101-year-old woman while anchored off the coast of Tumaco, Colombia, June 6. Irene Becerra, a native of Araño, Colombia, arrived at the Escuela Max Seídel medical site, June 4, complaining of a headache and loss of sight in her left eye, which the Continuing Promise 2011 medical team later determined was caused by a cataract. Lt. Cmdr. Francine Worthington, the patient administration department head aboard Comfort, performed Becerra’s initial screening. “When I first met Irene, she immediately
greeted me with her radiant smile and comforting hands,” said Worthington. “Initially, I didn’t even know she was 101. When asked what the secret to her longevity was, she told me, ‘God’s blessing’.” Shortly after her surgical screening with Worthington, Becerra was approved for cataract removal surgery. “I was nervous at first,” said Luz Becerra, the daughter of Becerra, of the trip out to Comfort. “We left it all up to God, but with the wonderful flight crew and medical staff, the flight was calm,” she added. Becerra received her surgery aboard Comfort the morning of June 6. After a two-hour surgery and a recovery period, Becerra, the oldest surgical patient for the CP11 team to date,
will soon gain vision from her left eye. “I want to thank God, the medical staff aboard Comfort, and everyone else involved in making this procedure possible,” said Becerra. Worthington said that she was honored to help Becerra throughout the screening process, which led to her undergoing the life-changing surgery. She added that this surgery is representative of the United States’ commitment to the people of Colombia. “A smile is the beginning of love, and works of love are works of peace,” said Worthington. “The partnership begins one person at a time. Ms. Becerra represents the beauty of the Colombian people.”
Past and present honored aboard Constitution CHARLESTOWN, MASS. (NNS) – USS Constitution, the world’s oldest warship afloat, hosted approximately 200 members from Gold Star Families during an “underway� Battle of Midway commemoration from the ship’s berth in Charlestown, Mass., June 3.

Tim Cooper, Constitution’s 71st commanding officer.
“Honoring those who sacrificed so much in defense of our nation is such an easy thing and one that my crew and I are privileged to do.� The ship got underway after morning colors, shortly after 8 a.m. Cmdr.
