WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 2015 – “We pause to reflect on our progress
and our history -- not only to remember, but also to acknowledge our
unfinished work. We reject the false notion that our challenges lie only
in the past, and we recommit to advancing what has been left undone,”
President Barack Obama said in his proclamation issued Jan. 30 declaring
February as National African American History Month.
“Like the countless, quiet heroes who worked and bled far from the
public eye, we know that with enough effort, empathy, and perseverance,
people who love their country can change it. Together, we can help our
Nation live up to its immense promise. This month, let us continue that
unending journey toward a more just, more equal, and more perfect
Union.” Read the full proclamation at armedforcesdispatch.com

MCRMC final report
FRA staff (NED Snee and DLP Davis) met with the members
of the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization
Commission (MCRMC) and their staff the day the report was
released Jan. 30 to discuss the final recommendations of the commission. The report
makes 15 major recommendations that include
FLEET RESERVE
restructuring the military retirement system for
ASSOCIATION
future retirees, nearly doubling SBP premiums,
and replacing all TRICARE programs except for TRICAREFor-Life (TFL) with a selection of commercial insurance plans.
The Commission claims that TRICARE is no longer fiscally
sustainable. The Commission’s suggested changes are only
recommendations and have NOT been introduced as legislation.
Capitol Hill reaction to the report so far has been mixed. The
FRA Legislative Team is carefully reviewing the impact of the
proposed changes and will provide additional analysis in next
week’s NewsBytes. Given the size and scope of the 15 recommendations put forward by the co mmission, FRA strongly urges
Congress and key stakeholders to conduct a thoughtful analysis
of the final report.
Military leaders warn Senate panel
about sequestration cuts
The Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke to the Senate Armed Services
Committee (SASC), warning of dreadful consequences if the
Defense Department (DoD) is hit by additional automatic cuts
(sequestration) in FY 2016. The administration will release its
FY 2016 budget this week; SASC Chairman Sen. John McCain
(Ariz.), said, “If we in Congress do not act, sequestration will
return in full in fiscal year 2016, setting our military on a far
more dangerous course.” He is concerned that sequestration
could push our military into a slow state of decline. CNO Adm.
Jonathan Greenert warned that a new round of sequestration cuts
would require a re-examination of the national defense strategy,
pointing out the falling retention rate among the Navy’s highly
trained sailors. He also suggested the existing plan for the Ohioclass submarine program could be at risk if more automatic
cuts occur. “And that would be a budget-driven strategy,” said
Greenert. He also warned the service’s fleet is older than it has
ever been. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Joseph Dunford said
the Marines are investing in new hardware at “historically low
levels.” SASC Ranking Member Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), said he
knows the service chiefs “will manage” with whatever funding
and cuts they are dealt.
FRA honors top Marines
For the sixteenth consecutive year, FRA recognized outstanding Marines last week at the Combined Awards Ceremony at
Marine Corps Base (MCB) Quantico. Newly appointed Marine
Corps Commandant Gen. Joseph Dunford attended the event, and
FRA National President John Ippert presented special certificates
and FRA challenge coins to all awardees. FRA sponsored the Marine Corps’ Combined Awards Ceremony for the top recruiters,
drill instructors, combat instructors, security, and career planners
of the year. Communications Director Lauren Armstrong, ADLP
Stephen Tassin and ADVP Ben Young also attended the event,
as well as an FRA-sponsored reception thereafter.

There, they helped set up
tables and a buffet line and
organize food and beverages
before helping to feed more than
150 homeless veterans from the
local community.
“We helped feed a lot of veterans, but we also got a chance
to talk to them and hear what
they had to say about their situations and what they need,” said
Culinary Specialist 1st Class
Matthew Palafox. “It was hard
to hear what some of them were
going through, but it was nice
to be able to listen to them and
relate to some of them regarding
their military service.”
A local restaurant provided
most of the food and gourmet
coffee. Veterans were offered
breakfast burritos, chilaquiles,
a variety of fruits, and a fully
stocked coffee bar.
“We felt a sense of camaraderie out there,” said Chief
Logistics Specialist (SS) Michael Hill. “They enjoyed the
food, and they responded well
to the active duty members
helping them out because we
could understand each other on
a different level. They expressed
a lot of gratitude and, for me, it
was very inspiring.”

Anchor Scholarship Foundation deadline nears
by Claudette Roulo
WASHINGTON - Senior
enlisted advisors to the joint
chiefs, to the commandant of
the Coast Guard and to combatant commanders met at the
Pentagon last week for the Defense Senior Enlisted Leader
Council, hosted by Sgt. Major
Bryan Battaglia, senior enlisted
advisor to the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Anchor Scholarship Foundation (ASF) provides scholarships
to eligible children and spouses of active duty, retired, or honorably
discharged Surface Navy personnel across the country. Last year, we
had recipients in 12 different states.The scholarship is applied to tuition
and tuition related expenses only. The application process is twofold-(1)
Eligibility and (2) Scholarship application. We are coming up on a the
critical first deadline. Eligibility applications must be postmarked by
1 March, final applications must be postmarked by 1 April. The ASF
provided $100K in scholarships to Surface Navy families last year! For
more information go to www.anchorscholarship.com.
The council is a forum for
the most senior enlisted leadership in the Defense Department
to receive high-level briefings
and conduct tabletop discussions aimed at eliciting recommendations for policy changes
or modifications to programs,
capabilities, personnel and
facilities, Battaglia said.
The meeting, the spokesman
said, is an important component
of the broader program of engagements between the two nations’
militaries, which seeks to foster
sustained and substantive dialogue,
deepen practical cooperation in
areas of mutual interest, and focus
on enhancing risk reduction.
DoD releases Military Intelligence Program
base request for Fiscal Year 2016
With the benefit ticket, customers will receive 20 percent off the
entire stock of regular priced apparel, shoes, watches and sunglasses.
Already reduced furniture with prices ending in .94, .96 or .97 will
be 30 percent off. The maximum discount for any transaction is
$250. There are multiple exclusions so see store for details!
The Department of Defense released today the Military Intelligence
Program (MIP) top line budget request for fiscal year 2016. The total,
which includes both the base budget and Overseas Contingency Operations funding, is $17.9 billion.The department determined that releasing
this top line figure does not jeopardize any classified activities within the
MIP. No other MIP budget figures or program details will be released,
as they remain classified for national security reasons.
California NEXs participating in this event include NEX San
Diego, North Island, Port Hueneme, Lemoore and Monterey.

This year’s talks, he added, will
emphasize the positive momentum sustained in the U.S.-China
military-to-military relationship
over the past year, which included
historic agreements to establish
new confidence building measures
between the two militaries, and
endorse the robust program of
engagements planned for the rest
of the year.
Battaglia: Critical time for
Senior Enlisted Leader Council
“This particular DSELC allowed us to come together at
a crucial time as the [Military
Compensation and Retirement
Modernization Commission]
gets ready to release its recommendations on pay, health care
and retirement,” the sergeant
major said.
The senior enlisted leaders
were briefed on the commission’s report, he said, which
allowed them to capture some
of the highlights so they can
better explain the report to
their troops.
“Senior enlisted leaders often
find themselves doing damage
control in dispelling rumors
from folks who pass along
erroneous and unsubstantiated
information,” Battaglia said.
Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel joined the enlisted leaders for a frank discussion, said
Fleet Master Chief Mike Rudes,
the senior enlisted advisor for
U.S. Pacific Command.
“It was great to hear from the
outgoing secretary of defense,”
Rudes said. “He sat down and
gave us an assessment of where
things are and he’s giving us
some feedback - some very
direct feedback, actually - on
how we’re doing in support
of some of the messaging and
some of the initiatives that we
have going on.”
The council’s discussions
covered a wide range of defense
issues, he said, from budgetary matters to service-specific
challenges.
“It’s been very insightful to
get that kind of information to
turn back and share with my
component leaders in Pacom,”
Rudes said, “so that they, in
turn, can have correct and accurate information to pass on to
our soldiers, sailors, airmen and
Marines and their families.”
No matter their service
branch, senior enlisted leaders’
challenges are very similar, said
Sgt. Major of the Marine Corps
Micheal Barrett. The same
three pillars of leadership apply
to every enlisted leader: setting
the example, developing those
in your charge and caring for
those in your charge, he said.
“We all singularly have that
mission of caring for those in
our charge. … We all have the
same mission; we may wear a
different uniform, but we do the
same job,” Barrett said.
“We’re one team and we’re
one fight,” he added.

Defense POW/MIA Accounting
Agency becomes operational
The Defense POW/Missing
Personnel Office (DPMO) and
the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) officially
merged Jan. 30 into the newly
established Defense POW/MIA
Accounting Agency in ceremonies
at both locations.
In March 2014, Secretary of
Defense Hagel directed the department to reorganize efforts into a
single, accountable organization
with comprehensive oversight
of the past conflict personnel
accounting resources, research,
and operations. The new agency
combines DPMO, JPAC, and
select functions of the U.S. Air
Force’s Life Sciences Equipment
Laboratory (LSEL).
“Today marks an important step
in establishing the new agency and
the continued commitment to the
families of service members who
made the ultimate sacrifice for our
country and remain unaccounted
for,” said Christine E. Wormuth,
undersecretary of defense for
policy.
On Jan. 9 the secretary announced Rear Adm. Mike Franken
as the interim director of the agency, Maj. Gen. Kelly McKeague as
the interim deputy, and Lt. Gen.
Mike Linnington as the senior
advisor. They will lead the agency
into this phase of the consolidation process and are committed
to fulfilling our obligation to the
families who have lost a loved
one and providing the answers
they deserve, while increasing
identification capacity.

As tax season begins, Defense
Department officials want to

of changes in the tax laws, which
require all Americans to have
health care insurance or potentially pay a tax penalty.
Hoping to inspire others,
Arroyo said, he began sharing
his story with everyone from
inmates to students to fellow
patients and service members.
“I want everyone to realize that
if they’re breathing, they have
the opportunity for a second

last month to speak at the hospital’s Holiday Ball and to thank
the staff for saving his life. One

Arroyo told her another soldier

For the first time since the
Affordable Care Act passed in
2010, all U.S. citizens, including
service members, military retirees and their family members,
must report health care coverage
on their 2014 taxes, said Mark

health care operations program
analyst.
For this year only, taxpayers
will “self-attest” on their 2014

who have questions about TRICARE, the act and the individual

TRICARE website to download
a fact sheet on TRICARE and
the act, with TRICARE plans
compared to minimum essential
coverage, Ellis said.
Military beneficiaries that are
solely eligible for care in military
hospitals and clinics, for example, parents and parents-in-law,
have an automatic exemption
from the tax penalty for tax year

(NOTE: The TRICARE and
ACA fact sheet is available at
http://www.tricare.mil/~/media/Files/TRICARE/Publications/FactSheets/ACA_FS.pdf)
The site also has suggestions for
those who need to purchase coverage to meet the act’s minimum
requirements, he noted. “That
could include retired reservists, Selected Reserve members,
young adults up to age 26 and
those who leave military service
but need transitional coverage,”
Ellis said. TRICARE beneficiaries with tax questions should
contact the Internal Revenue
Service or their tax advisers, he
emphasized. “The experts there
can help them,” Ellis said.

every day. Invite them to worship with you

DoD launches child care website to ease moving transitions
by Terri Moon Cronk
WASHINGTON - As military families move frequently
and face a host of concerns,
finding child care can be one
of the greatest challenges,
Barbara Thompson, director
of military community and
policy’s office of family policy/children and youth/special
needs, said.
To streamline and standardize what can be a daunting
search, the Defense Department unveiled MilitaryChildCare.com, an online resource
to help military, DoD civilian
and contractor families find an
array of military-operated and
military-subsidized child care
options for children between
the ages of 4 weeks and 12
years, Thompson said.
“Child care is a workforce
issue that impacts the readiness and retention of the
force,” Thompson said. “As
families relocate to other
areas, it’s really challenging
to make sure your child care
needs are being met, and this
tool gives parents an opportunity in advance to find those
child care spots that will work
for the family.”
MilitaryChildCare.com is a
“single gateway” for families
to enter as they request child
care, she noted.
Of the 200,000 children
DoD serves in child care, more
than 50 percent are younger
than age 3, Thompson said.
“It’s very difficult to find
infant and toddler care in the
civilian community,” she said.
“[DoD has] young families
with young children and we really feel that we’re providing
a high-quality environment
for those babies and toddlers
[with the website].”
Families can customize
their search, put their children
on waiting lists and monitor requests for placement,
Thompson said.
“The idea is that you have
choices, and you see the array
pictorially of what’s available at those locations,” she
noted.
A help desk online and at
1-855-696-2934, toll-free, is
also available to help personalize families’ searches, she
added.
The website initiative used
focus groups comprising child
care staff and parents, with a
goal of making the website
functional and intuitive to
make sure families can easily
navigate the system, Thompson said.
A pilot program was also
conducted in the study at
numerous installations over
the past 18 months at Nellis
Air Force Base, Nevada, for
the Air Force, Hawaii for the
Army, Hawaii and San Diego
for the Marine Corps, and
Hawaii, San Diego, Key West,
Bahrain, Meridian and Singapore for the Navy, she said.

and monitor their presence in
bed, restfulness and restlessness
to assess quality of sleep.
With these new sleep tools,
parents can help kids be their
best tomorrow.
Recently, 13 more installations were added to the website in addition to the pilots.
They are Naval Air Facility
El Centro, California; Naval
Air Station Fallon, Nevada;
Naval Air Station Joint Readiness Base Fort Worth, Texas;
Naval Air Station Kingsville,
Texas; Naval Air Station Joint
Readiness Base, New Orleans, Louisiana; Naval Air

Support Activity Monterey,
California; Naval Base Ventura County, California; Naval
Air Station Corpus Christi,
Texas; Naval Station Everett,
Washington; Naval Base Kitsap, Washington; and Naval
Air Station Whidbey Island,
Washington.
The child care website is
expected to be fully functional
worldwide in September 2016,
Thompson said, adding that it
will remain a work in progress
as it takes in feedback from
parents for improvements.
From using electronic devices in bed to a lack of bedroom routines, there are plenty
of reasons kids are not getting
enough sleep. But high-quality
sleep is important, reports the
same sleep survey, conducted by
Sleep Number, with the majority
of parents saying that sleep impacts their child’s performance
in school and in extracurricular
activities.
Luckily, new tools are helping kids rest easier at night. For

Marine Corps to conduct onsite,
online survey for dress/service cover,
prototype female dress blue coat
by Lance Cpl. Remington
Hall
Marine Corps Systems Command will conduct a travelling
survey regarding the new prototype female dress blue coat and
improved dress/service cover
from Jan. 23 to Feb. 27.
The survey team is scheduled
to travel to different Marine
Corps installations to conduct
a limited user evaluation. The
results of the survey will be
used as recommendations for
a potential change to the current dress/service cover and the
female dress blue coat.
The male dress/service cap
was adopted as the required cap
for female Marines in November
2013. At the same time a review
of the fit and comfort of the current male cap was ordered. The
final product resulting from the
review will be known as the universal dress/service frame cap.
As with other recent proposed
changes to uniform regulations,
the Marine Corps uniform board
said the individual Marines’
opinion is necessary to determine the best fit and form of the
dress/service cover and prototype female dress blue coat.
The onsite survey team will
obtain input by providing common sizes of both caps and
asking Marines to try on each
and provide their input. The
prototype female dress blue coat
will be displayed by Marines,
viewed from posters and then
Marines will provide their opinion regarding the coat.
The planned dates for the
survey are as follows:
Installations
Parris Island, SC
Cherry Point, NC
Camp Lejeune, NC
Quantico, VA
New Orleans, LA
Camp Pendleton, CA
Miramar, CA
29 Palms, CA
In addition to the travelling
survey, there will be an online
survey open to all Marines between Jan. 23 and Feb. 27. The
online survey will be available
for Marines to take at: https://
usmcsurveys.natick.army.mil.
Any and all Marines are encouraged to attend the user
evaluations or participate in the
online survey.
The improved dress/service
cover and prototype female dress
blue coat were Commandant
of the Marine Corps initiatives
from the fiscal year 2014, and
are scheduled for CMC decision
later this year.

Interpersonal Edge:
Be here now for workplace success
by Dr. Daneen Skube
Q. I always hear about the
power of being in the present
and can see the “now” might
have spiritual benefit. I fail,
however, to see how being
present can help me make more
money or advance in my company. Plus, when I attempt to be
more present I tend to see more
problems.
8 • www.armedforcesdispatch.com • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2015
A. What I tell my executive
coaching clients is that being
present has two outcomes.
Yes, you’ll see more problems,
which will make you uncomfortable, but you also can solve those
problems. The second outcome
is you can actually perceive opportunities which are invisible
to others who miss out on the
power of the now.
For centuries spiritual teachers have written about how
important it is to your soul’s development to be in the moment.
Unfortunately, most spiritual
teachers didn’t say much about
how to use this power to more
effectively handle mundane and
worldly concerns.
Ironically, the thing you can
do that may benefit your soul
the most also will benefit your
career just as richly. When we
show up at work and are unconscious, stuck in the past, numbed
out, or caught up in internal reactions, we rarely make decisions
that benefit our careers.
The sad thing is we usually
don’t even know we lost out
on all these rich opportunities.
Often we end up feeling like
hapless victims of cruel fate
rather than victims of our unconsciousness.
When we attempt to spend a
few more minutes being present at work every day we see
that we often are the masters of
our own fate by how we speak
and act. When we merely act to
defend our ego and self-worth,
we often end up in circumstances
that make us feel worthless and
miserable.
For instance, imagine someone
is rude to you in your workplace.
You may pout, say something
snarky, or act rude right back
to the person. Think a minute
about the outcome you will get
with these choices. Will this
result enhance your self-worth
or career?
My clients start to chuckle
when they see that the more
they defend their egos in their
workplaces the worse they feel.
Yes, it is natural to want to tell
people off. Yes, it isn’t right that
people do things that upset you,
but what you do will determine
whether they succeed.
When you are in the moment,
it will occur to you that what
people are doing to you is not
a personal attack. These people
act in these ways with everyone.
When you pause in taking everything personally you can ask
yourself how you can operate to
promote your career instead of
defending your ego.
Regardless of the common
myth that you leave your emotions behind when you go to
work, you don’t. When you get
into the moment you will have
to tolerate feeling upset without
acting badly. So much of the really cool opportunities at work
only open up if you can act in
wise, strategic ways no matter
how upset you are.
Tomorrow, think of your
workplace as being an emotional, spiritual and intellectual
gym. Every day you have the
opportunity to build the muscle
to do the right thing for yourself
regardless of how wrong others
may act. You can also take the
easy way out and never develop
capacity for the heavy lifting
required for the best job opportunities.
Think of the phenomenally
hard jobs in the world: running
a country, running a company, or
changing the world in anyway.
How effective do you think
leaders can be if defending their
ego is more important than doing
their job well? Who would you
chose for these positions?
Whatever you face Monday
morning, you will face it more
calmly, more creatively, and
more effectively if you can
spend just a few more minutes
every day being in the moment.
You won’t always like what you
find in the moment but what you
find is the only way to steer your
career to succeed.
300 officers nominated for new
naval strategist subspecialty code
The Navy announced the nomination of approximately 300 unrestricted line officers Jan. 15 for a newly established naval strategy
subspecialty designation.
The initial group of nominees forms a cadre of educated and
experienced Navy strategists who are now eligible to fill nearly 80
existing strategy billet assignments on Navy, Joint Staff, Office of
the Secretary of Defense, State Department, and Combatant Commander staffs.
“If selected for the naval strategy subspecialty you will have a
unique opportunity to shape strategy and create the bridge between
policy and warfighting by serving in a number of unique billets,” said
Rear Adm. Kevin Donegan, acting deputy chief of naval operations
for Operations, Plans and Strategy (N3/N5).
The establishment of the naval strategy subspecialty for those who
meet specific education requirements or have appropriate experience
tours is part of a Strategic Enterprise initiative directed by the chief
of naval operations. Goals for the enterprise include developing a
cadre of Navy strategists by capitalizing on the abilities, experiences,
and education of personnel.
The subspecialty code will enable manpower professionals to
identify, track and assign the right officers to critical N5 and J5 billets during approved community sea/shore rotations.
The administrative message says the new subspecialty code 2300
or 2301 is being assigned to select unrestricted line officers based on
experience obtained in specific strategist assignments or education
received in advanced studies programs. The NAVADMIN 011-15
details the requirements for an officer’s automatic selection.
Nominated officers may decline assignment of the new subspecialty by contacting members of the chief of naval operations staff
listed in the NAVADMIN.
Officers who were not nominated and believe they meet the requirements for the subspecialty can apply. Application guidance is
listed in NAVADMIN.
For more information on the naval strategy subspecialty, visit the
milSuite website at https://www.milsuite.mil/book/groups/navalstrat.

Vice Adm. William Moran,
CNP, and Fleet Master Chief
April Beldo, Moran’s senior
enlisted advisor, laid out to Seabees the details of the program
called Bees to Badges. It will
provide Seabees the opportunity
for conversion to MA prior to
their Career Waypoints Reenlistment (C-WAY) window. The
program’s goal is to balance
an over-manned Seabee community while simultaneously
supporting the need for more
MA’s.
“As our Seabee numbers
have decreased, many top-notch
Sailors had a hard time finding
ways to stay on a viable career
path that allowed them to utilize
their expeditionary skillsets and
“Can-Do” way of doing business,” said Moran.
“If we do this right, we will
improve Seabee community
health, while also filling carrier
MA slots with seasoned folks
who want to put their talents to
good use in a new field that allows them to stay-Navy.”
Because Seabees have experience in security patrols and
small arms they are more closely aligned with the MA mission
than other communities. This
rate conversion opportunity will
be available for all active duty
Seabees; however, it will focus
on select ratings, year groups
and will be managed closely by
the community managers.
Below are the details about
how to the conversion process
works.
* Seabee must be at their
command for 18-months prior to eligibility for the rate
conversion and meet the MA
requirement in MPM-1440010 (Change in Rate Requirements).
* Qualified Seabees must
submit a commanding officer
endorsed 1306 to the Seabee

ECMs currently intend to
open this opportunity to all
Seabee rates, targeting YGs
2012 and 2003-2008. As the
program matures and the community health strengthens, the
targets will start to narrow.
The target number for fiscal
year (FY) 15 is 30-35 Seabees
and for FY 16 it increases to
90-110.

Japanese forces train with Marines
to enhance amphibious capabilities
USNS Lewis B. Puller is scheduled to be christened Feb. 7 at
the NASSCO Shipyard in San Diego.

Named in honor of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Puller, the most decorated Marine in history and the only one to be awarded five Navy
Crosses. The USNS Lewis B. Puller is the third ship of the Mobile
Landing Platform (MLP) class - and the first of the MLP class to
be configured as an Afloat Forward Staging Base (AFSB).

currently in its tenth iteration,
is scheduled until Feb. 27 in

The JGSDF intends to stand
up an amphibious brigade within
the next few years. The brigade
will be part of the Western Army
Infantry Regiment, a battalionsized marine infantry unit in
Japan. For the past decade, the
regiment has served as Japan’s
test bed for amphibious warfare
and has participated in joint
exercises with U.S.forces.

The Marine Corps is the lead
for amphibious operations in
the U.S. military. With the ability to maneuver combat-ready
forces from the sea to the shore
and inland in order to achieve
a positional advantage over the
enemy or to simply provide
humanitarian support, they can
help develop and fine tune the
JGSDF’s understanding of amphibious operations.
“This is our bread and butter.
It’s what we do,” stated GySgt.
Daniel Young, a platoon sergeant
with 1st Recon. “The [JGSDF]
are our partners and we want
to strengthen their abilities in
amphibious operations. When
we do, they could successfully
operate with us and be able to
apply this training in their selfdefense force.”
While training on the CRRCs,
soldiers with JGSDF learned
how to go on and off Landing
Craft Air Cushions and how to
use them as a median between
the larger ships at sea and the
coastline of an objective.
“Something we’re trying to
teach the [JGSDF] that we
haven’t shown them in the past
is how to use an [LCAC] as
a connector ship,” said Capt.
Trevor Miller, platoon commander with 1st Recon. “This
is something that would go from
the landing platform dock or
the landing helicopter dock to
about 20 nautical miles off the
coastline and we take the CRRCs
from that point to do insertions
and amphibious operations. The
[JGSDF] has never worked with
LCACs so we’re teaching them
the procedures and benefits to
using one.”
USNS Lewis B. Puller to be christened
at General Dynamics NASSCO
The newly-designed AFSB adds a flight deck, berthing, fuel
and equipment storage, repair spaces, and accommodations for
up to 250 personnel. The MLP AFSB is capable of supporting
missions including counter-piracy operations, maritime security
operations, humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions and
Marine Corps crisis response.
Speaking at the ceremony will be Kevin Graney, Vice President
& General Manager of General Dynamics NASSCO; Rear Adm.
Thomas K. Shannon, Commander, Military Sealift Command;
Vice Adm. Joseph P. Aucoin, Deputy CNO for Warfare Systems;
Allison Stiller, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy - Ships;
and Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., Commandant, Marine Corps.
Martha Puller Downs, daughter of the late Gen. Lewis B. Puller,
will do a traditional champagne bottle break against the ship’s
hull as the ship’s sponsor to officially christen the ship.
Along with LCACs, the
Southern California coastline
also provides a unique amphibious training opportunity, not
existent in Japan, for the JGSDF
to help enhance their maneuvering techniques in a CRRC to get
out of the surf line in a safer and
more efficient manner
“The [JGSDF] wanted to
focus more on the surf passages
because it gave them a little bit
of difficulty that they’re not used
to,” said Young. “If that’s something they want to focus on in
order to meet their requirements,
we have time to adjust and meet
their needs.”

cruises in support of Operations
Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
Following this command tour,
in May 2008, Baker reported to the
Joint Staff in Washington, D.C.,
and served in the J-39 Special
Technical Operations Directorate,
as well as the executive assistant
for the J-3 Director for Operations. Baker reported to CVW-9
in February 2012 as deputy commander, and assumed command
July 12, 2013.
Under Baker’s leadership as
deputy commander, CVW-9 successfully completed a surge deployment to the U.S. 5th and 7th

Sea Perch program
by Lt. Andrew C. Legayada
SAN DIEGO - A group of 50
students from the Naval Science
and Engineering Programs at
Coronado High School in Coronado, California, demonstrated
their ability to build and control
underwater remote operated vehicles (ROVs) Jan. 28.
The students are part of the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR)
Sea Perch program, building their
ROVs from kits provided by grants
from ONR and the Association
for Unmanned Vehicle Systems
International (AUVSI).
According to ONR, Sea Perch is
an innovative underwater robotics
program that equips teachers and
students with the resources they
need to construct an underwater
ROV in an in or out-of-school
setting. Students build the ROV
from a kit comprised of low-cost,
easily accessible parts, following a
curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with
a marine engineering theme.
Coordinating the local Sea
Perch program is retired Navy
Capt. Kenneth Ireland, the senior
naval science instructor for the
Coronado High School Naval
Junior Reserve Officer Training
Corps (NJROTC) program. “It’s
all about getting these kids jazzedup and excited about science and
engineering,” Ireland said. “I like
to stress a well-rounded learning
experience by having each student
participate in each aspect of building the ROV.”
Broken up into nine teams, students had the opportunity to learn
about robotics, marine engineering principles, and oceanography
while building their underwater
ROVs. Assembly requirements
included soldering parts together,
building electrical motors, and
ensuring the watertight integrity of
the electronic components.
At the Coronado High School
pool, the teams were challenged
to operate the ROVs through timed
maneuvering challenges including navigating through a series of
underwater obstacles and moving
hanging rings from one location
to another.
William O’Brien, a Coronado
High senior, said that working
on the ROVs brought together
a strong skill set for his team.
“Problem solving, teamwork, and
the hands-on experience building
these ROVs were all a part of the
learning value from this project,”
he said.

Navy recruiters build playhouses for low income families
by MC2 Travis L. Nickell
Fifteen Sailors from Navy Recruiting District
(NRD) San Diego participated in a community relations project with San Diego Habitat for Humanity
(SDHFH), Jan 30.
“They [military volunteers] come with a lot of
drive to do the work and get the job done quickly,”
said Cyr. “This project will better serve the less
fortunate and get these houses to kids who may
never have anything like this.”
Recruiters assigned from seven different San
Diego area recruiting stations work together to
construct ten wooden playhouses for low income
families in the area.
After each house is built and painted, SDHFH
will load and deliver each playhouse to a low
income family.
The investment company TD Ameritrade sponsored the building materials, and will later host a
playhouse painting competition to fund raise additional money for SDHFH. SDHFH hopes to raise
$20,000 from the playhouses.
“I get a sense of satisfaction from projects like
these,” said Petty Officer First Class Khoi Do,
recruiter assigned to NRS College Grove. “I’ve
done something with a purpose.” “We volunteer
for projects like this not just for families of San
Diego but more importantly for children.”
James Cyr, construction crew leader for SDHFH,
noted that the drive military volunteers bring to
projects like these provide safe play areas for
children.
Established 27 years ago, SDHFH has built and
renovated hundreds of homes and changed the
lives of even more families through the work of
over 200,000 volunteers and supporters.
Fort Worth departs Singapore after scheduled maintenance
by MC2
Antonio P. Turretto Ramos
CHANGI NAVAL BASE,
Singapore - The littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS
3) got underway from Singapore Feb. 2 after completing
her first six-day scheduled
preventive maintenance period during a maiden 16-month
rotational deployment to the
Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
“The contractors take a lot
of the smaller checks and fixes
off our plate,” said Gas Tur-
bine Systems Technician
(Electrical) 1st Class Cody
Street. “It makes it easier for
a relatively small core engineering department to focus
on bigger fixes and operating
the ship.”
Throughout the course of
its deployment, Fort Worth
will increase LCS operations
in the region by visiting more
ports, engaging more regional
navies during exercises like
Cooperation Afloat Readiness
and Training and expanding
LCS capabilities with tools
like the Fire Scout.

Begun Jan. 19, days after
Fort Worth returned from
supporting AirAsia search
efforts in the Java Sea, the
maintenance period included
more than 400 checks of engineering, deck and combat
systems. Compared to other
Navy ship platforms, the littoral
combat ship has a relatively
small crew. Labor and technical support during Fort Worth’s
deployment is supplemented
with civilian contractors who
conduct most of the preventative maintenance schedule

Store, issue, track: Station
Ordnance handling all the ammo
by Sgt. Raquel Barraza
MCAS MIRAMAR - Marines
train continuously to be combat
ready for any mission. Aviation
ordnance system technicians
with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron here make
sure Marines have the equipment
to do just that.
Station Ordnance Marines

of the ordnance used throughout
the air station.

Lance Cpl. Matthew Sheffield, left, and Lance Cpl. Corbin McGrath, right, both aviation ordnance system technicians with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, remove wood holding a pallet of ammunition on a delivery truck aboard
MCAS Miramar. Station ordnance Marines handle the storage of ordnance before
it is issued to any squadron.
An aviation ordnance
system technician with
Headquarters
and
Headquarters squadron
counts 5.56 mm rounds
aboard Miramar. Rounds
must be counted by two
or more people to ensure
each ammo can has the
correct amount.
The logistic squadrons then
supply the squadrons throughout
the air station with the ammunition needed to conduct their
training missions, added Love.
Not only do they provide
every missile for the various
aircraft, but all ammunition used
by Marines on Miramar.
“We also supply ammunition
to the rifle range, [the Provost
Marshal’s Office], and [EOD],”
said Love.
photo by Sgt. Raquel Barraza
“No man can go out there
and unload ordnance by themselves,” said Love.
During unloading, Marines
work in teams of four or more
and always have a Marine who is
a quality assurance safety officer
or QASO. “They supervise and
make sure everything is being
done safely,” said Cpl. Erik
Schilling, a QASO with H&HS
station ordnance. “I make sure
everyone gets to go home at
night.”
Another responsibility of storing the ordnance is making sure
to keep an accurate inventory.
“Proper documentation takes
a lot of behind-the-scenes work,”
said Love. “A guided missile on
an [F/A-18 Hornet] has to be
tracked from the time it is stored
here, to issue, to the time it is
expended or shot off.”
These Marines constantly
keep track of all bombs, missiles
and rounds that are stored.
“We always use two-man in-

tegrity,” said Lance Cpl. Dustin
Newell, aviation ordnance system technician. “If someone
counts a hundred rounds there
is always a second person who
counts and makes sure that number is right.”
Although it may seem like
a tedious job, some ordnance
Marines say differently. “I love
my job because I get to deal with
a lot of things that most people
don’t know about or see on a
daily basis or even if they did,
wouldn’t know what they were,”
said Schilling. “I love every bit
of ordnance.”

La Jolla Music Society presents ‘Kodo One Earth
Tour 2015: Mystery’ Feb. 6 at Balboa Theatre
La Jolla Music Society continues its 46th Season with
the Special Event Kodo One
Earth Tour 2015: Mystery at
Balboa Theatre on Friday, Feb.
6 at 8 pm.
Kodo returns to San Diego
with their new innovative
show, Mystery. Exploring the
limitless possibilities of the
ancient traditional art of taiko
drumming, Mystery includes
scenes inspired by traditional
folk dances, along with newly
created scenes by members of
Kodo. Renowned for their theatricality, athleticism and superb musicianship, in this new
tour they aim to take audiences
on a voyage to an extraordinary mysterious realm. Kodo’s
Artistic Director, Tamasaburo
Bando shares his vision for
Mystery; “I created this piece
with the idea that theatre-goers
would experience the mood
of mystery that they meet at
a temple or a shrine, or when
you go into the forest - places

About the Artist – Kodo:
Making their debut at the Berlin
Festival in 1981, Kodo is based
on Sado Island in Niigata, Japan, and has given over 5500
performances in 46 countries
worldwide under the theme
“One Earth.” Spending about a
third of the year overseas, a third
touring in Japan and a third on
Sado Island, Kodo is always on
the move, giving performances
that transcend borders, genres
and time. Kodo returns to North
America in 2015 with another
new production, Kodo - One
Earth Tour: Mystery, created by
its Artistic Director and Japanese Living National Treasure
Tamasaburo Bando. A leading
Kabuki actor and the most popu-
lar and celebrated onnagata (actor specializing in female roles)
currently on stage, Mr. Bando
was a catalyst for Kodo to break
new ground in taiko expression. Kodo continues to explore
limitless possibilities and forge
new directions with their unique
and vibrant living art-form.
This 2015 North America Tour
marks the Kodo - One Earth
Tour: Mystery’s debut outside
of Japan.
When the power goes out
by Lisa Smith Molinari
“Do you think you bought enough?” I asked
sarcastically, as my husband dropped multiple
Stop & Shop bags on the kitchen floor.
Winter Storm Juno was on its way, and
Francis was determined to be prepared. I had
the meat and potatoes of life
casually mentioned that we might
need a gallon of milk and maybe a
loaf of bread. Two hours later, he
returned to the house with enough
supplies for our entire base neighborhood: bags of food, packages
of batteries, five cases of water,
two lighters, and twenty-seven
candles.
watch cap sprinkled with fresh
flurries, snapped toward me. “It’s
not a matter of IF we lose power,
it’s a matter of WHEN we lose
power, and I, for one, will be prepared. He stomped off to crank the
thermostat up to an uncomfortable
74 degrees for “when the power
goes out.”
But of course, like a true Navy
man, my husband’s first stop was
the base Package Store where he
bought beer, wine, red Solo cups,
and enough rum, limes, and ginger
beer to make “Dark & Stormy”
drinks from now until summer
vacation.
There was no reasoning with
him. Much like our teenage girls
who were excited about two snow
days of sledding and lounging
around in pajama pants, Francis
was looking forward to playing
hero, and he wasn’t going to let
common sense get in the way.
I wasn’t sure whether he was
preparing for the storm or opening a tavern.
Still ensconced in his watch
cap and an ill-fitting sweater, he
removed his wet boots, poured
himself a cold beer, and nestled in
to await the impending doom from
the comfort of his Barcalounger
while binge-watching DVR episodes of “House Hunters”.
After unloading the bags, Francis marched out to our garage to
retrieve our shovels, road salt, and
sleds for “when the power goes
out and the garage door opener
is disabled.” Then, he drove each
car to the gas station to fill up for
“when the power goes out and
the stations are closed.” Then he
drove to the ATM machine on
base and withdrew half our life
savings in cash, for “when the
power goes out and ATMs shut
down.” And even though we don’t
have a usable fireplace, he brought
home seven starter logs for “when
the power goes out and we don’t
have heat.”
“Don’t you think you’re going
a bit overboard, Hon? I mean, we
don’t even know if we’re going to
lose power at all.”
His head, topped by a Navy
Secretly, I rolled my eyes at
Francis’ predictions of “Snowpocolypse”, but the wind howled so
loud that night, I wondered if my
husband had been right all along.
Surely, the unrelenting gusts
will snap a power line, I thought.
By the time the chill wakes us,
it’ll be too late -- in the darkness,
we’ll fumble for candles, wrap
ourselves in blankets, and huddle
together until the house succumbs
to the bitter cold. Then, shivering,
we’ll hunch over a smoldering
starter log in our patio fire pit, our
shallow breaths of survival barely
visible in the dim light....
But instead, our radiators
pumped out heat nonstop while
we ate like kings, took long hot
showers, watched way too much
TV, drank cocktails in the afternoon, put together a 500-piece
jigsaw puzzle, and slept with our
mouths open.
On the third morning, the skies
cleared. “I guess we won’t be
needing these,” Francis moped
around the house before heading
to work, lighting one of the seven
cinnamon-scented jar candles
he had purchased for “when the
power goes out.” Sensing his disappointment, I mustered my best
damsel in distress. “You know,
Hon, thank goodness you were
so prepared, because the power
definitely… um, really did… uh,
almost go out. I shudder to think
of what almost happened to our
family. I mean, you pretty much
saved our lives.”
Francis threw me a suspicious
glance, then made the split decision to accept the compliment
shamelessly. With his watch cap to
protect him from the bitter winds,
he paused on his way out the door
to announce, “Another storm’s
coming in a couple days, but don’t
worry, I’ll stop by the store on the
way home.”
My hero.
Omarr’s weekly
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Remain open-minded in the
week ahead. Partners or friends
may want to experiment or
break with tradition. Go along
with spur of the moment ideas
and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind
experience.
Astrological
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the
game of life, you may be tagged
as “it.” Make intelligent plans
for the future and then follow
through. You’ll be offered several opportunities to achieve your
dreams as this week unfolds.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Apply your skills and focus on
constructive activities. Your
partners or coworkers could be
inspirational in the week ahead.
Follow the leader and end up at
the top of the pecking order.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Brainstorming sessions can result in advancement this week,
as you’re likely to receive attention for your ideas. However,
take into consideration that some
people may hide their fears and
concerns.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Here today usually means gone
tomorrow. Fascinating new
acquaintances could brighten
your week, but you shouldn’t
fear they’ll leave as fast as
they arrived. A new friendship
may last.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Polish your public persona.
This is a good week to promote
your wares in the marketplace,
especially if you let the buyers
come to you. Expect excitement
where matters of the heart are
concerned.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Perfect timing promotes prosperity. Push hard in the week
ahead and your dreams of financial security can come true.
You can harness a powerhouse
of energy and use it for accomplishment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Remember that to play in the
major leagues you must maintain a reliable batting average.
An obsession with something
or someone could force you
to practice until you’re perfect
this week.
forecast
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Keep the faith, baby.
Follow through on promises in
the week ahead and everything
will turn out just fine. A lack of
focus or faith could cause understanding to breakdown within
your family.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): To everything there is a
season. This week, the celestial
weather signals green lights on
many levels, so it can be a great
time to push your way to the top.
Don’t ignore opportunities for
romantic moments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Play hard and work hard
all week. Make important phone
calls and touch base with old
friends this week without ignoring financial obligations. Shine
as the center of attention.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Make hay while the sun shines.
Flirtations are possible. The
week to come may bring extra
work and responsibilities, so actively focus on spending quality
time with loved ones whenever
you can.

AutoMatters+: One Last Look Back at Formula Off-Road Stadium SUPER Trucks
showed me the racing number plate that Robby had
given her from his personal SUPER Truck – the one
that he had raced that evening. She told me that Robby
had explained to her that those number plates were
hard to come by, yet despite that, since her family
members were loyal, long-time fans, he not only gave
her that number plate but offered to give her family
the other one too!
This was not their first SUPER
Trucks event and everyone was
really excited to be there. Hold
that thought and we’ll come back
to this near the end.
In addition to SUPER Trucks
racing, fans enjoyed a full evening’s entertainment that also
included Legend car racing,
live music from “The Roxy Gun
Project” and Traxxas R/C scale
models.
AutoMatters+ covered three
of Robby Gordon’s ‘SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road SUPER
Trucks Presented by Traxxas’
events in 2014. The last of these
was at a new venue: a challenging, purpose-built racetrack at
MGM Resorts Village across
Las Vegas Blvd. from the Luxor.
This provided the room for
a much longer track, as well
as better vantage points from
which to see the racing, than did
last year’s location at Caesar’s
Palace.
I didn’t realize it at the time
but an encounter I had while
still in the parking lot would
be very meaningful by the end
of the evening. Shortly after I
parked my car, another pulled
up right beside me. I started a
conversation with its occupants
and learned that the family
– which included two little kids,
was visiting from California.
The SUPER Trucks racing
was wild. Trucks launched off
of high jumps and often careened
into each other, lap after lap. The
most exciting feature of the track
was an over-and-under jump. It
literally sent SUPER Trucks flying directly over other SUPER
Trucks that were racing along
the track right in front of the
jump – and yes, there were some
spectacular crashes there too.
Many spectators watched the
spectacle from atop what looked
like a huge, flat-topped water
tank. I was absolutely blown
away with the event – especially
the final SUPER Trucks race.
The action got so intense and
there was so much going on all
over the track that I didn’t know
where to look, or where to point
my cameras (and speaking of
cameras, hopefully they’ll have
more light next time).
If you love racing do yourself
a favor and go to the SUPER
Needless to say, the whole family – kids and all,
was absolutely thrilled. The mom told me that they
will hang them on the walls of their kids’ rooms. She
added that their garage walls are covered in colorful
racing body panels.
Trucks event in Las Vegas this
year. It is motorized mayhem!
Since this was their season
finale, Robby and the drivers
had one last, very special treat
in store for their fans. They did
something that I have never seen
done before. After the racing
was over the drivers drove their
trucks to where the fans could
get next to them and check
them out. Then some of the
crewmembers removed colorful
body panels covered in racing
graphics from their SUPER
Trucks and gave them to several
very lucky and appreciative fans
as souvenirs! They, in turn, got
them autographed by the drivers.
Then they carried away their
treasures, which included huge
truck hoods.
I asked a crewmember if the

panels – some of which were not
damaged from the racing and
others which were repairable,
are expensive. They said yes,
but that they were giving them
away to show their appreciation
for their fans.
One fan walked up to Robby
and proceeded to show him a
two-page document that he had
written. Robby actually took
the time to read it. Then, with a
warm smile on his face, Robby
shook his hand. I have never
seen race fans treated nearly as
they were that evening.
Remember the family that
I told you about earlier? Well,
shortly after I returned to my
car in the parking lot after the
races they just happened to walk
up to their car. I asked them if
they had gotten any souvenirs,
to which they excitedly told me
that they had. Then the woman

Biography
| Drama
A chronicle
of one woman’s
1,100-mile solo
hike undertaken
as a way to
recover from a
recent catastrophe. 115 min
VIDEOVIEW
by Jay Bobbin
STARTING THIS WEEK: “NIGHTCRAWLER”: Jake Gyllenhaal
rightfully has received much attention for his man-on-the-fringes
performance as a free-lance videographer who provides graphic
crime footage to an eager TV-news producer (Rene Russo, whose
husband - Dan Gilroy - wrote and directed the film). Bill Paxton and
Riz Ahmed also appear in the drama that makes salient, and unnerving, points about what makes much of the media tick these days.
Several veterans of local Los Angeles newscasting turn up here, and
Robert Elswit’s evocative cinematography also merits note. DVD
extras: “making-of” documentary; audio commentary by Gilroy,
producer Tony Gilroy and editor John Gilroy (they’re all brothers).
*** (R: AS, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
“ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO
GOOD, VERY BAD DAY”: It’s a bad day, indeed, for young
Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) in this Disney offering based on Judith
Viorst’s long-popular children’s book. Forever his family’s outcast,
he makes a wish the night before his birthday that his relatives could
get a taste of how he usually feels ... and guess what happens the
next day? Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner play Alexander’s parents,
with Dick Van Dyke (as himself) in a very funny appearance at a
book reading that goes about as wrong as it possibly could. (PG:
AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
“OLIVE KITTERIDGE”: Academy Award winner Frances McDormand (“Fargo”) and Richard Jenkins (“The Visitor”) head the
cast of this poignant, made-for-HBO adaptation of Elizabeth Strout’s
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about life in a small New England town
rocked by tragedy and illicit affairs - as observed by the title character
(McDormand). Bill Murray, John Gallagher Jr. (“The Newsroom”),
Peter Mullan, Rosemarie DeWitt and Zoe Kazan also star for director Lisa Cholodenko (“The Kids Are All Right”) and teleplay writer
Jane Anderson. *** (Not rated: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
FAMILY-VIEWING GUIDE KEY:
AS, adult situations; N, nudity; P, profanity; V, violence;
GV, particularly graphic violence.
