Troops to receive millions under
Service Members Civil Relief Act
ALAN
JACKSON
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department announced Feb. 9 that
under its settlements with five of the nation’s largest mortgage servicers, 952 service members and their co-borrowers are eligible to
receive over $123 million for non-judicial foreclosures that violated
the Service Members Civil Relief Act.
The five mortgage servicers are JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.;
Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Wells Fargo & Co.; Citi Residential
Lending Inc., Citibank, NA and CitiMortgage Inc.; GMAC Mortgage,
LLC, Ally Financial Inc. and Residential Capital LLC; and BAC
Home Loans Servicing LP formerly known as Countrywide Home
Loans Servicing LP (Bank of America).
In the first round of payments under the SCRA portion of the 2012
settlement known as the National Mortgage Settlement, 666 service
members and their co-borrowers will receive over $88 million from
JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi and GMAC Mortgage. The other
286 service members and their co-borrowers already have received
over $35 million from Bank of America through an earlier settlement. The non-judicial foreclosures at issue took place between Jan.
1, 2006, and April 4, 2012.
“These unlawful judicial foreclosures forced hundreds of service
members and their families out of their homes,” said Acting Associate
Attorney General Stuart F. Delery. “While this compensation will
provide a measure of relief, the fact is that service members should
never have to worry about losing their home to an illegal foreclosure
while they are serving our country. The department will continue to
actively protect our service members and their families from such
unjust actions.”
“We are very pleased that the men and women of the armed forces
who were subjected to unlawful non-judicial foreclosures while they
were serving our country are now receiving compensation,” said
Acting Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of the Civil Rights
Division. “We look forward, in the coming months, to facilitating
the compensation of additional service members who were subjected
to unlawful judicial foreclosures or excess interest charges. We
appreciate that JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi, GMAC Mortgage and Bank of America have been working cooperatively with
the Justice Department to compensate the service members whose
rights were violated.”
Section 533 of the SCRA prohibits non-judicial foreclosures
against service members who are in military service or within the
applicable post-service period, as long as they originated their mortgages before their period of military service began. Even in states
that normally allow mortgage foreclosures to proceed non-judicially,
the SCRA prohibits servicers from doing so against protected service
members during their military service and applicable post-military
service coverage period.
Under the National Mortgage Settlement, for mortgages serviced
by Wells Fargo, Citi and GMAC Mortgage, the identified service
members will each receive $125,000, plus any lost equity in the
property and interest on that equity. Eligible co-borrowers will also
be compensated for their share of any lost equity in the property.

WASHINGTON - Scientists unveiled a firefighting robot prototype Feb. 4 at the Naval
Future Force Science & Technology EXPO, revealing details about its successful demonstrations last fall.
The Shipboard Autonomous
Firefighting Robot (SAFFiR),
sponsored by the Office of Naval
Research (ONR), walked across
uneven floors, used thermal
imaging to identify overheated
equipment, and used a hose to
extinguish a small fire in a series
of experiments Nov. 3-5, 2014
aboard the USS Shadwell, a decommissioned Navy vessel.
goal is to keep Sailors from
the danger of direct exposure
to fire.”
SAFFiR stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 143 pounds. The
unique mechanism design on the
robot equips it with super-human
range of motion to maneuver in
complex spaces.
Developed by researchers at
Virginia Tech, the two-legged,
or bipedal, humanoid robot
is helping ONR evaluate the
applications of unmanned systems in damage control and
inspections aboard naval vessels, supporting the autonomy
and unmanned systems focus
area in the Navy’s Science and
Technology Strategy.
“Balancing on any type of
terrain that’s unstable - especially for bipedal robots - is very
difficult,” said Brian Lattimer,
associate professor for mechanical engineering at Virginia
Tech. “Whole-body momentum
control allows for the robot to
optimize the locations of all of
its joints so that it maintains its
center of mass on uncertain and
unstable surfaces.”
“We set out to build and demonstrate a humanoid capable of
mobility aboard a ship, manipulating doors and fire hoses, and
equipped with sensors to see and
navigate through smoke,” said
Dr. Thomas McKenna, ONR
program manager for humanrobot interaction and cognitive
neuroscience. “The long-term
Sensors, including infrared
stereovision and a rotating laser
for light detection and ranging
(LIDAR), enable the humanoid
to see through dense smoke.
It is programmed to take measured steps and handle hoses on
his own, but for now, takes his
instruction from researchers at

“The robot has the ability to
do autonomous tasks, but we
have a human in the loop to allow an operator to intervene in
any type of task that the robot’s
doing,” Lattimer said.
McKenna plans to sponsor a
more advanced design as part
of the long-term investigational
research program. Blueprints
include equipping the robot with
enhanced intelligence, communications capabilities, speed,
computing power and battery
life for extended applications.
“We have taken a look at other
kinds of sensors that you can put
on these robots,” he said. “For
instance, a bipedal robot could
be configured to take shipboard
measurements, scan for corrosion and leaks, and identify
changes to the shape of the room
from its original configuration.
By taking on these time-consuming tasks, SAFFiR could free up
Sailors for jobs that more fully
take advantage of their training
and technical skillsets.”
Even with added intelligence,
however, SAFFiR will take its
instruction from Sailors and “fire
bosses” working remotely in the
event of a fire or other dangerous event.

ing tested,” the vice president
said. “President Putin has to understand that as he has changed,
so has our focus.”
Western leaders have moved
from resetting relations with
Russia to reasserting the fundamental bedrock principles
on which European freedom
and stability rest, Biden said=:
inviolate borders, no spheres of
influence and the sovereign right
to choose alliances.
“To protect these important
principles,” he added, “we have
to be laser-focused on the greater
threats to the project of a Europe
whole, free, and at peace.”
The vice president said world
powers need to be united in support
of Ukraine, and that what happens
there will resonate well beyond
Ukraine. Russia has gone back
on freely achieved agreements,
he said, and that should matter to
countries around the world.
“Russia needs to understand
that as long as it continues its
current course, the United States,
and, God willing, all of Europe
and the international community,
will continue to impose costs on
their violation of basic international norms,” Biden said.
Russia’s president promised
peace and a cease-fire, and instead launched troops and tanks
and aircraft, the vice president
said. The U.S. “will continue to
provide Ukraine with security
assistance, not to encourage war
but to allow Ukraine to defend
itself,” he said.
“Let me be clear,” Biden said.
“We don’t believe there’s a military solution in Ukraine. But let
me be equally clear: we don’t
believe Russia has the right to do
what they’re doing. We believe
we should attempt an honorable
peace. But we also believe the
Ukrainian people have a right
to defend themselves.”
Biden called for Russia
to go back to the agreement
it signed at Minsk with the
Ukrainian government in September. This calls for the full
withdrawal of Russian troops
from Ukraine.

National Military
Official recognizes African American military, national contributions
by Amaani Lyle
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2015
– An annual presidential proclamation and Department of
Defense memorandum urges
the services to highlight the
contributions and sacrifices of
black soldiers, sailors, airmen,
Marines and Coast Guardsmen
in recognition of African American History Month.
Clarence Johnson, director of
the Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity,
reflected on current and past
positive impacts of integration
and its necessity in maintaining an edge as an organization
nationally and abroad.
“The Department of Defense
has led the nation in assimilating
diversity into our workforce,”
Johnson said in a Dod News
interview. “African Americans
Coalition military leaders discuss
Operation Inherent Resolve
SOUTHWEST ASIA - Military leaders representing member
states of a combined joint task force to degrade and ultimately
destroy the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant gathered Feb.
2-3 to discuss the way ahead in Operation Inherent Resolve, task
force officials announced Feb. 8.
The U.S.-led coalition was established after ISIL seized control
of territory in Iraq and Syria. Iraqi security forces have commenced
offensive operations on multiple fronts in Iraq, officials said, with
the U.S. and coalition partners supporting them with airstrikes and
by training of security force personnel and advisor teams.
Coalition forces have launched more than 2,000 airstrikes
in Syria and Iraq since the beginning of Operation Inherent
Resolve.
“Throughout the two-day event, we maintained coalition
collaboration, [and] we encouraged candid views, discussions,
sharing of ideas, challenges and successes. We also had the opportunity to hear from all of our coalition representatives,” said
Canadian Army Lt. Col. Ryan Jurtkowski, combined joint task
force’s deputy chief of plans.
Leaders in attendance used the conference as a platform to
brief planners from around the world about the state of their
nations’ support to the coalition and the mission, officials said.
The conference focused on measuring the progress made thus far
in degrading ISIL in Iraq, and collaborating on effective future
operations, they added. “We continue to broaden our collective
views of the mission and maintain the tremendous collaboration
we’ve shared to date,” said U.S. Army Lt. Gen. James L. Terry,
combined joint task force’s commanding general.
More than 20 nations sent military leaders to the conference,
and the consensus of participants was that the effort was successful, officials said.
have played heavily in the diversity and the mission landscape
for the DoD.”
But diversity, Johnson emphasized, extends beyond race
and gender.
In line with this year ’s
theme, “A Century of Black
Life, History and Culture,”
Johnson recounted DoD’s diversity milestones throughout
the decades.
“We can use the talents and
skills sets of all our folks because
… diversity not only improves
the productivity of the individual,” he said, but also of the
team and overall organization.
“There’s a war for talent out
there and [it] doesn’t know any
race or gender, it’s inherent in all
populations.”
From President Harry S. Truman’s executive order integrating the services, to removing
barriers for civilians and later
opening doors to disabled employees, women in service and
repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t
Tell” to grant rights to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
community, Johnson described
the evolution of the department’s
diversity as a force multiplier.
Johnson noted that African
Americans over the last 100
years have not only contributed
to military history, but to national history.
“I see America as a big piece
of tapestry, where we all …
contribute to that tapestry and
certainly black life, history and
culture is important,” Johnson
said.
Military icons such as Crispus
Attucks, the first black to die in
the Revolutionary War, to the
Buffalo Soldiers in World War I
and World War II, the Tuskegee
Airmen in World War II, and
Navy Adm. Michelle Howard,
the first black woman to achieve
the rank of four stars, reflect
beacons of hope and resilience
in the face of adversity.
“Diversity … gives us a strategic advantage and the opportunity to have everybody
participate in decision making
and readiness,” Johnson said.
Johnson shared his personal
experience as a schoolteacher
in Mississippi before joining the
Air Force as a second lieutenant.
Despite myriad opportunities
extended to him from outside
the Air Force, he said, he opted
to remain a blue-suiter due to the
service’s team concept and many
opportunities to learn, improve
and lead.
With 40 years of military
and civil service, ascension to
colonel and now leading in a
critical senior executive service
role, Johnson credits his physics teacher and late father for
presenting moral and character
attributes into his life and propelling him to achieve.
“The military provides you
the opportunity to get leadership
responsibility fast,” Johnson said.
“Nowhere in America will you be
able to lead and manage resources
as fast as in the military.”
Unity will prevent new age of disorder, NATO chief says
by Jim Garamone
WASHINGTON - Solidarity
is needed to prevent a new age
of disorder, NATO Secretary
General Jens Stoltenberg said
Feb. 8 in Munich.
“History is not written in
advance,” the secretary general said at the annual Munich
Security Conference. “We can
prevent an age of disorder if
we have the will. We can keep
the international order that has
served us so well if we stand up
for its rules and if we stand up
for each other.”
Last year marked a turning
point for European security and
the global order, he said. In Europe, Russia annexed Crimea and
is seeking to destabilize Ukraine.

republics, Poland, Romania and
Georgia.
be maintained if like-minded nations stick together, he said.
One of the tools, he said, is
NATO - the most successful
international security pact in
history. “Since its foundation,
NATO has been a resolute guardian of the international order,”
Stoltenberg said. “That order is
being challenged, and we must
do our utmost to protect it.”
NATO must change to address
the threats of the 21st century,
and it must maintain and increase its strength, the secretary
general said. The confrontations
today are “not about lining up
tanks or digging ditches along
our borders,” he added. “The
Cold War is history, and it should
remain that way.”
NATO and allied forces must
be ready to deploy at a moment’s
notice and must be able to deter any threat from any direction, Stoltenberg said, including
countering the so-called “hybrid
warfare” that Russia has used in
Ukraine.
This is going to require resources, the secretary general
said, noting that since the end
of the Cold War, European

“North Africa and the Middle
East are also in turmoil,” Stoltenberg said. “States are breaking
up, and conflict is at our borders.

violence across the region and

streets.”

CNO: Here’s what we need for the future force
by David Smalley
WASHINGTON - Chief of
Naval Operations (CNO) Adm.
Jonathan Greenert outlined his
thoughts Feb. 4 on three science
and technology objectives for
the Navy and Marine Corps of
the future, at the Naval Future
Force Science and Technology
(S&T) EXPO in Washington,
D.C.
Speaking before nearly 3,000
attendees from across government, academia and industry,
Greenert charged his audience to
reduce reliance on gunpowder;
increase stamina for underwater
unmanned vehicles’ power and
propulsion systems; and increase
focus on cybersecurity.
“Number one, you’ve got
to get us off gunpowder,” said
Greenert, noting that Office
of Naval Research-supported
weapon programs like Laser
Weapon System (LaWS) and
the Electromagnetic Railgun
are vital to the future force. “We
will have an incredibly deep
magazine when we bring [those
weapons] in.”
Weapons like LaWS have a
virtually unlimited magazine,
only constrained by power and
cooling capabilities onboard the
vessel carrying them. In addition, Greenert noted the added
safety for Sailors and Marines
that will come from reducing
dependency on gunpowderbased munitions.
“Probably the biggest vulnerability of a ship is its magazine,
because that’s where all the
explosives are,” he said.
He also cited the tremendous
cost savings offered by, for instance, laser weapons fired at a
dollar per shot, or low-cost Electromagnetic Railgun projectiles,
versus needing to rely on million-dollar missiles, in some
cases without the same range,

him up at night.
Greenert’s second challenge
for the S&T community is to
develop “greater stamina” in
unmanned underwater vehicle
propulsion systems, to maintain
naval dominance in the undersea
domain.
“I need you to lock your IT
doors,” he told the EXPO attendees. “You do it at home, and
you need to keep that mindset
at work.
“I need them compact and
reliable in their power and propulsion, but I also need them
safe,” he said.
And, as the Ohio-class submarines near replacement age,
Greenert noted that increased
range and endurance for unmanned systems will be vital for
the future fleet with the overall
number of submarines projected
to decrease.
Greenert’s final S&T objective
centers on cybersecurity, which
he said is something that keeps

“Cybersecurity is a key requirement for all our systems
and weapons.”
He encouraged scientists and
engineers to include security in
the initial design of everything
they do, rather than trying to add
security measures later.
The CNO also discussed
the history of game-changing
technologies that have come
from the Naval S&T community, including GPS, advanced
radar and quiet propulsion
capabilities. He continued on
to say, “we continue to rely
on you.”
The host of the EXPO, Chief
of Naval Research Rear Adm.
Mat Winter, introduced the CNO
and spoke about the importance
of Naval S&T research for the
future force-including the essential partnerships between
the Naval Research Enterprise,
academia and industry.

WASHINGTON - Rates of
unwanted sexual contact at
the military service academies
declined in 2014, according
to a report released Feb. 11 by
DoD.
The annual report on sexual
harassment and violence at
the military service academies
estimates that overall rates decreased for both men and women, indicating that nearly 200
fewer sexual assaults occurred
at the academies in 2014 than
in 2012.
“The academies have been
working hard on prevention,”
said Dr. Nate Galbreath, senior
executive advisor for DoD’s
Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response program. “Indications are that academy leadership focus on this program is
contributing to an overall safer

“We cannot do more with less

At NATO’s summit in Wales,
alliance leaders agreed to increase defense spending as
their nations’ economies grow.
“It cannot be done overnight,”
Stoltenberg said, “but it can be
done.”
The alliance’s eastern and
southern flanks are vulnerable,
he said, and NATO needs to
work with those countries to
strengthen their capabilities and
increase their stability.
“If they are more stable, we
are more secure,” Stoltenberg
said. “We must help our eastern
neighbors to stay on the path of
democracy and reform, to fight
corruption, open up their economies and build efficient institutions. This is good for them, and
it is good for us.”
Violent extremism is a growing threat to the south, with
the added danger of terrorists
importing their brand of fanaticism to the heart of Europe, as
they did in Paris and Brussels,
recently, Stoltenberg said.

Veterans News
I
by Patricia Castillo
t’s February, but it’s still Veteran’s Day at our house.
Actually, we should probably offer a veteran the greeting, “Happy Securing My
Freedom Day” or “Happy
Selfless Sacrifice for Our Nation Day.” The title “veteran” is
used widely to talk about every
type of retail extravaganza,
or to depict young men who
may not have lost their lives
at war, but rather when they
returned from war and are still
struggling to make sense of the
whole experience.
I believe in some ways we
benefitted the most from the
arrangement. My children get
up early every morning, making their beds immediately,
are never, ever late to school,
always complete their assignments and are very well-man-
nered and respectful at the
table, in public and especially
with their elders.
Although these skills are very
important to my husband and I,
it has been grandpa’s influence
that has really honed them.
We hear a lot about the
losses these young men and
women have incurred while
in the military, but we don’t
hear enough about what they
still have to offer when they
become military veterans.
Once they have left active duty
the positive influence they can
have on others because of their
rigorous training, developed
discipline, steadfastness and
fortitude are limitless in terms
of the influence they can have
on people around them.
I can say this out of personal
experience. My stepfather faced
many challenges as so many
brave soldiers did. He fought in
Vietnam, was stationed in foreign countries (mainly Italy),
thrived in Alaskan conditions
and taught many troops how
to stay alive and defend our
country well.
His influence is not limited
to the plaques hanging on the
wall or the numerous medals
that attract my children and
fill them with admiration for
their grandpa, his military
experience has touched everyone who has ever made his
acquaintance.
Some might be missing
or out of place, but these
medals keep the grandkids in awe.

Grandson Thomas in his 3rd year at the Naval Academy has had a great example through grandpa.

LIVING TRUST
So many of the staff at Naval Medical Center San Diego
start smiling when they see
him. They gravitate toward
him knowing that their brief
encounter with him will remind
them of the #1 rule of survival,
keep positive.
No matter the circumstances,
he’ll have a joke that will
quickly get everyone out of

some hearty belly laughs. You
know when he’s around, you’re
going to forget your troubles
and have hope for better things
to come.
One of our sons is in his third
year at the Naval Academy. His
role model for a military career
has been his grandpa. Another
one of our sons has set the same
goal and understands that if
he follows what grandpa has
taught him from the military, he
too can reap the glories of military honor - leaving a legacy
of discipline, steadfastness,
physical and mental fortitude
and doing the right thing well.
About Your Health
Face of defense: Clinicians help
deployed troops fight stress
by Navy Lt. Cmdr.
Jesse Ehrenfeld
Whether on their first deployment or their fifth, service members can feel the impact of deployment-related stressors.
The primary responsibility of
the Behavioral Health Department
at the NATO Role 3 Multinational
Medical Unit here is to mitigate
and treat the stressors that arise
in a forward-deployed environment.
As the overall mission in Afghanistan has changed and combat operations have ended, the
behavioral health assets have
adjusted to meet the needs of
service members.
Currently, the behavioral health
team at the NATO Role 3, one of
the most forward-operating behavioral health teams in Afghanistan,
consists of a Navy psychiatrist,
an Army social worker, an Army
clinical psychologist and an Army
behavioral health technician.
Part of a joint enterprise between Navy Medicine and the
Army’s Combat Operational
Stress Control Unit, these clinicians work together as a unified
team to provide the best care
possible.
“The medical providers at
NATO Role 3 Multinational
Medical Unit on Kandahar Airfield are dedicated to supporting
our deployed soldiers, and it’s
an honor to work alongside such
talented clinicians and to be afforded the opportunity to provide
behavioral health care to our service members who are deployed,”
said Capt. Ashley Davis, an Army
psychologist.
One way the behavioral health
team helps deployed service members manage stress is through their
work to educate individuals on
how to handle stress and develop
positive coping mechanisms.
Psycho-educational classes are
routinely offered which cover
topics such as sleep hygiene,
effective communication skills,
anger management and improving
interpersonal skills.
“The impact of sleep on a person’s mood cannot be overstated,”
Davis said. “It is so important for
deployed personnel to make sure
they are rested and able to engage
when needed.”
One program offered at the Role
3 is called “Caring for the Caregivers.” The purpose of the program
is to teach deployed health care
workers how to take care of one
another and themselves. Often,
providers get focused on taking
care of everyone except themselves, tending to put aside their
own mental health needs.
The innovative program is
a way for all caregivers to get
support and have a safe place to
process own their experiences.
The overall goal is to enable these
important caregivers to remain at
the top of their game, so they can
function flawlessly when taking
care of their own patients.
Navy Lt. Cmdr. Mahmoud
Ahmed, a psychiatrist from Eau
Claire, Wisconsin, provides oversight and direction to the Behavioral Health Department here.
By facilitating consultations and
assessments, he enables commands to determine if patients
are able to receive care in-theater
or, when necessary, be transferred
to a stateside facility for further
management.
“My job is to assess whether a
service member is able to benefit
from a brief intervention here or
whether they need more intense
therapy elsewhere,” Ahmed said.
“Ultimately, our department’s
goal is to ensure all service members are able to function at their
peak.”

Five quick tips to avoid common dieting pitfalls
Weight loss goals are easier
to make than to achieve. Life
can often seem at odds with
your health and wellness goals.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways
to avoid common pitfalls.

• Snack and drink smart:
When you’re one-the-go, easy
protein-packed snacks will help
you stay on track. Try beef

and vegetables can also help
keep hunger at bay.
Calories from drinks add up
fast. Stick with dry wines, as
they often have fewer calories
than sweeter varieties. Light
beers, with approximately 100
calories for every 12 ounce serving, are also a good choice. If
you prefer cocktails, use caloriefree mixers, such as seltzer with
1.5 oz. of spirits.
• Make it easy: Dieting should
be easy. Most people often complain they fail at diets because
they need to constantly count
calories, or weigh and measure
foods.
Look for programs that help
you stick to your goals by offering convenience and support.
For example, Nutrisystem helps
with the hard part -- the counting, weighing and measuring
-- by offering pre-portioned

•Eat out, right: Eating out is
sometimes unavoidable. Just be
sure to check out a restaurant’s
nutrition information online
before you go, so you can make
wise choices.
Make substitutions like salad,
with dressing on the side, instead
of fries and don’t be afraid to ask
if a menu item can be modified.
Also, be mindful of portion
sizes. Take half your meal home
and enjoy it for tomorrow’s
lunch.
• Facing the scale: Weight
fluctuates throughout the day.
Weigh yourself at the same time
of day in similar weight clothing
to get the most accurate readings.
Remember though, the number
on the scale won’t always reflect
your hard work. Focus instead
on healthy, positive changes and
how you feel.
• Aim for 30: Squeeze 30
minutes of activity into your day.
Walk during lunch, jump rope
during your favorite nightly TV
show or turn on music and dance
around the house.
Remember, everyone falls off
the wagon from time to time, but
it’s always the perfect time to commit to your weight loss goals.
Career & Education
San Diego Public Library offers adults a second chance
to earn a high school diploma and career certificate
Scholarships Available for
Qualifying Career Online High
School Students
Following Mayor Kevin
Faulconer’s announcement at
his State of the City address,
the San Diego Public Library
(SDPL) has launched Career
Online High School (COHS) in
partnership with the San Diego
Public Library Foundation and
Gale, a leading provider of
library resources and part of
Cengage Learning. SDPL joins
other innovative libraries to offer
adults the opportunity to earn an
accredited high school diploma
and career certificate online. The
library’s pilot program provides
scholarships to qualified adult
learners who are looking to
advance their careers, prepare
for workforce entry or continue
their education. Career Online
High School is open to all eligible San Diego City residents
through SDPL.
Career Online High School
offers adult students the opportunity to earn an accredited high
school diploma while preparing
for a career in one of eight highdemand, high-growth fields.
The program allows students
the flexibility to take classes
online and access schoolwork
24/7 to fit their busy lifestyles.
Learners also receive support
and free educational resources
at their local library.
There are 40,000,000 adults
in the US with no high school
diploma. In San Diego, there are
more than 205,000 people (15
percent of the population) over
the age of 25 who do not have
a high school diploma. A disproportionate number of these
people are Black or Hispanic.
High school dropouts face a
stark employment picture, with
unemployment rates double that
of high school graduates. This
strain affects their health and
social relations, leading to lower
life expectancies and higher
family dissolution as well as
incarceration rates many times
higher than those of graduates.
A 2009 study estimated that the
total lifetime cost per dropout to
taxpayers is almost $300,000.
“Education is a ladder to success. And for many, the first rung
“When I first heard about
Career Online High School, I
jumped at the chance for our
library system to be one of the
pilot libraries for this program,”
said Misty Jones, director of the
San Diego Public Library. “The
approach that Career Online
High School has taken addresses
the trauma many dropouts experienced that kept them from
graduating. The Public Library is
the perfect place to put them on
the road to academic and career
success. We are already looked
at as the ‘safe haven’ and this
program supports students from
beginning to end.”
“Library Foundation donors
are happy to commit to this
program that will give a second
chance to adult learners,” said
Jay Hill, chief executive officer.
“This innovative program fits
well with our vision to give everyone access to free resources
that help them succeed in school,
their careers and in their communities. Anyone who would like
to support additional learners
can visit SupportMyLibrary.org
for information on sponsoring
scholarships.”
“Public libraries improve
lives and move communities
forward,” said Paul Gazzolo,
senior vice president and general
manager for Gale. “By partnering with Gale to offer Career
Online High School, SDPL will
make a positive impact on the
residents of San Diego while
supporting economic development in the community.”

events and resources at the San
Diego Public Library’s Central

remains just out of reach,” said
Mayor Kevin Faulconer in his
State of the City address. “The
realities of working and providing for a family mean that for
some, going back to school is too
difficult. It takes too much time.
It costs too much money. And
while we can’t solve all of these
problems, we can put opportunity back within reach. That’s
why we’re partnering with the
San Diego Library Foundation
to launch a new initiative called
Career Online High School.
Our community will reach its
greatest heights when every San
Diegan has the opportunity to
rise up into prosperity.”

SECNAV censures three senior officers
WASHINGTON - Secretary
of the Navy Ray Mabus has
issued Secretarial Letters of
Censure to three senior officers
following a thorough review into
their interactions with Glenn
Defense Marine Asia (GDMA)
in the 2006-2007 timeframe.
GDMA is the subject of a federal
fraud and bribery investigation
which was initiated by the Naval
Criminal Investigative Service
(NCIS).
Mabus directed the appointment of a Consolidated Disposition Authority in March
2014 to act as an independent
authority to review GDMA cases
forwarded by the Department of
Justice to the Navy for administrative action.
The purpose of the CDA, in
this case headed by Adm. John
Richardson, is to ensure that
individuals are held appropriately accountable when less
than criminal allegations are
substantiated.
“All Navy officers, particularly our senior leadership in
positions of unique trust and
responsibility, must uphold and
be held to the highest standards
of personal and professional
behavior. After reviewing the
findings and recommendations
of the CDA, I decided that
these three officers, whose actions were revealed during the
GDMA investigation demonstrated poor judgment and a
failure of leadership in prior
tours,” said Mabus.
To document their leadership
failure, Mabus issued Secretarial
Letters of Censure to:
o Rear Adm. Michael Miller,
then-Commander, Carrier Strike
Group 7 embarked on USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Miller
is currently serving as a special
assistant to the Superintendent of
the U.S. Naval Academy.
o Rear Adm. Terry Kraft,
then-Commanding Officer, USS
Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).
Kraft is currently serving as
Commander, U.S. Naval Forces
Japan and Commander, Navy
Region Japan.
o Rear Adm. David Pimpo,
then-supply officer of USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Pimpo
is currently serving as Commander, Naval Supply Systems
Command (NAVSUP) Weapon
Systems Support.
Kraft and Pimpo have since
submitted requests to retire. The
Navy will now process these
two retirement requests and the
previously submitted retirement
request from Miller.
USS Fort Worth arrives at Navy
Region Singapore for crew swap
by MC1 Jay C. Pugh
SEMBAWANG, Singapore - Littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth
(LCS 3) arrived at Navy Region Singapore Feb. 10 to conduct a crew
swap over the next week.
Crew 104 will turn over with Crew 103 after operating Fort Worth
for the first four months of her 16-month rotational deployment to
U.S. 7th Fleet in support of America’s strategic rebalance to the
Asia-Pacific.
After leaving her homeport of San Diego Nov. 17, Fort Worth
transited across the Pacific, making port visits in Hawaii, Guam
and Jakarta. Days after arrival in Singapore - her primary logistics
hub in Southeast Asia - Fort Worth got underway Jan. 2 to support
multinational search efforts for AirAsia flight QZ8501 at the request
of the Indonesian government.
“The first four months of our deployment presented early
opportunities to showcase Fort Worth as a value added asset
to the U.S. 7th Fleet commander. Our response during AirAsia
flight QZ8501 search efforts showed that Fort Worth’s high
speed and open architecture design allowed her to quickly
reposition in the Java Sea and plug in additional capabilities
that were used extensively during this specific mission, such as
the Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit team and side-scan-sonar
gear,” said Cmdr. Kendall Bridgewater, commanding officer, USS
Fort Worth crew 104.
Fort Worth transited from Changi Naval Base to Sembawang for
the crew swap in order to take advantage of installation facilities
provided by NRS, including self-service laundry, a post office, the
all hands Terror Club and Navy Exchange (NEX).

“LCS Crew 104 Juggernauts are excited to be in Sembawang
to take full advantage of the Navy facilities here. The next several
days will be challenging as we turn over Fort Worth to the LCS
Crew 103 Rough Riders, but I’m confident that they will continue
Fort Worth’s success during her inaugural deployment to 7th Fleet,”
said Bridgewater.
Like Crew 104, Crew 103 will also have an opportunity to explore
Singapore on liberty. Bridgewater encouraged the incoming crew
to enjoy sightseeing in the local area and to conduct themselves as
Navy ambassadors. The daily interactions with U.S. Sailors and
host nations throughout the region will further enhance cooperation
and goodwill.
“Censure was both necessary
and appropriate,” said Mabus.
“I have now received the retirement requests of all three officers, and we will process them
appropriately.”
These three officers were
found to have improperly accepted gifts from a prohibited
source, two were found to have
improperly endorsed a commercial business, and one engaged
in solicitation of gifts and services from a prohibited source,
when they were deployed to the
Seventh Fleet area of responsibility during the 2006-2007
timeframe.
The review concluded that
these officers violated the Standards of Ethical Conduct, U.S.
Navy Regulations, and/or the
Joint Ethics Regulation, demonstrating poor judgment and
a failure of leadership. More
specifically, the review concluded that the solicitation and
acceptance of these gifts as well
as the inappropriately familiar
relationship with Mr. Leonard Glenn Francis, President
and Chief Executive Officer of
GDMA, cultivated an unacceptable ethical climate within the
respective commands.
Kraft will be replaced by Rear
Adm. Matthew J. Carter and
Pimpo will be replaced by Rear
Adm. Paul J. Verrastro.

Monster Energy Supercross riders visit USS Peleliu
by MC1 Trevor Welsh
SAN DIEGO - A group of
members from the American
Motorcycle Association’s Monster Energy Supercross team
visited USS Peleliu (LHA 5) at
Naval Base San Diego, Feb. 6.
The team was in San Diego as
part of the Federation of International Motorcycling Monster
Energy Supercross Tour and
took time to thank members of
the military for their service,
especially Peleliu Sailors who
recently returned from a sixmonth deployment.
Upon arrival to Peleliu the
team received a general shipboard orientation tour of the
ship’s well deck, hangar bay,
foc’sle and flight deck.
The tour ended on the mess
decks where Sailors were waiting with their motocross memorabilia and souvenirs ready for
autographs and photographs
with the team.
“For me and where I’m from,
Supercross is more than a sport,
it’s a lifestyle,” said Aviation
Ordnanceman 3rd Class Tanner
Barnes, from Wickenburg, Arizona. “It’s been a great experience for me to meet the riders.
It’s nice that they came out here
to show their appreciation for
what we do. I think what they are
The team performed at San
Diego’s PETCO Park for the
Military Appreciation Race Feb.
7. This race signifies the offroad motorcycle racing series
paying tribute to the members
of the military, in support of
Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides
assistance to service members
and their families with a focus on
wounded veterans who served
on or after 9/11.
“It really means a lot to be able
to perform and put on a show
for these men and women,” said
Canard. “Without them doing
what they do, I wouldn’t be able
to do what I do. I have a huge
respect for all those who serve
our country and can’t thank them
enough.”
During the Military Appreciation Race, Peleliu’s Sailor of the
Year (SOY) Hospital Corpsman
1st Class Jennifer Kurneta and
her family will be recognized
in front of thousands of spectators.
Kurneta, from Port Washington, Wisconsin, was selected as
SOY for her exceptional professionalism, devotion to duty and
commendable service as Peleliu
Medical Department Leading
Petty Officer.
“I’m truly honored to be the
last SOY aboard Peleliu,” said
Kurneta. “I don’t think anyone
was more surprised than I was
regarding my selection because I
went up against some really awesome competitors. My selection is
due to all the amazing Sailors on
board who put in effort to reach
our goals. I’m thankful to be surrounded by great Sailors, a very
supportive chain of command,
inspirational mentors, and of
course my family, for all of my
success is because of them.”

“Visiting the ship today was
quite an experience,” said Trey
Canard, a Supercross rider with
Honda Motorsports. “It is crazy
to see just how big it is inside
and how everything is run. I
definitely enjoyed the tour but
meeting the Sailors was why we
were really there. Being able to
show our appreciation and thank
them for their service was very
special.”
doing really boosts morale for
my fellow Sailors and me.”
SAN DIEGO – General Dynamics NASSCO christened the
Navy’s newest ship, USNS Lewis B. Puller (MLP-3 AFSB)
Feb. 7.
The ship is named in honor of the late Marine Corps Lt. Gen.
Lewis “Chesty” Puller, the most decorated Marine and the only
one to be awarded five Navy Crosses.
“Today was a proud moment for the thousands of men and
women involved with the design and construction of the USNS
Lewis B. Puller,” said Kevin M. Graney, vice president and
general manager of the General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard.
“Like its namesake, Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller, the
ship signifies strength and increased mobility and capability
to support a variety of missions carried out by the U.S. Marine
Corps and Navy.”
This third Mobile Landing Platform (MLP) is the first ship
of the class to be configured as an Afloat Forward Staging Base
(AFSB), adding a flight deck, berthing, fuel storage, equipment
storage, repair spaces, and accommodations for up to 250 personnel. The ship is capable of supporting missions including counterpiracy operations, maritime security operations, humanitarian aid
and disaster relief missions and Marine Corps crisis response.
USNS Lewis B. Puller will be delivered to the Navy in the
second quarter of 2015.

Liz Smith: Harper Lee to publish second book!
by Liz Smith
“IF YOU learn just a single
trick, Scout, you get along a lot
better with all kinds of folks; you
never really understand a person
until you consider things from
his point of view ... until you
climb inside his skin and walk
around in it.”
That’s Atticus Finch, the great
hero of Harper Lee’s classic
novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
(This became one of the most
beloved movies of all time, starring Gregory Peck as a Southern
lawyer with a conscience.)
Now, the literary world is
agog and panting. The author,
Harper Lee, never wrote another
novel. Well, “Mockingbird”
was a hard thing to follow up. It
won the Pulitzer Prize and was
declared “The Best Novel of the
Century.” Thirty million copies
are in print.
So, fans that have waited 50
years for Harper Lee to either
continue her tale, or at least
produce something else, are
ecstatic. The new one - which
was actually written before
“Mockingbird” - is titled “Go
Set a Watchman” and features
the little girl, Scout, as a grown
woman. The author says, “I
think it is a pretty decent effort.” She has also said, “I never
expected any sort of success with
‘Mockingbird.’” She thought it
would be “mercifully ignored”
by critics.
“Go Set a Watchman” will be
published in July.
I am so grateful to write this
story. It is unalloyed good news.
And brother, do we need it
now.
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST
birthday cards I received this
year came to me from one of
those rare Texas bankers who
is still a Democratic liberal.
His name is Eddie Safady and
he lives in (naturally) Austin,
Texas. He has a great apartment
on the main street leading to
the Capitol Building and was a
great force behind the late Texas
governor Ann Richards. Don’t,
however, try to borrow money
from Mr. Safady’s business; he
ain’t no pushover.
I ACTUALLY went out in
New York’s supremely unpleasant weather to dine with Giovanni LoFaro and Bill Rondina,
who are still deciding what they
want to be when they grow up.
We had lots of fun at Graydon
Carter’s Monkey Bar where we
were served one of the best first
courses I’ve ever had - baby beet
salad - and then I went crazy and
had their strip steak. All the other
diners, who had ordered lettuce
leaves, were helping themselves
to my delicious French fries.
Fantastic and great! The Monkey
Bar is still fun. It lives on in all
its resurrected historic glory
from the days of its situation, in
the Elysee Hotel, with all its tales
of how Tallulah Bankhead lived
there, on the wagon through
parts of World War II and Tennessee Williams later died there
tragically.
But why is it that the wait staff
in some of these great restaurants
don’t live up to the grandeur
around them? Restaurant owners
are quick to blame the unions for
this lack of speed and direction.
Maybe more than a minimum
wage is needed?
I have been regaled lately with
unprintable stories about all sorts
of famous people, which I won’t
repeat, if I want to stay alive.
But I liked this one, and so I’ll
blind the item.
There is a Manhattan doyenne
who has a secret - well, not a
secret to her staff and friends.
Seems this always impeccably
dressed and coiffed woman has,
shall we say, delicate hair. To
protect her fragile strands, she
wears wigs. This is not a crime,
or an unusual beauty aid. (No one
has seen the real hair of, say, Joan
Collins or Sophia Loren for eons.)
But what amuses her co-workers
is that all the wigs are exactly
the same. Identical in style and
color. There are a lot them. My
dinner pal told me: “Everybody
is tempted, at least once a day, to
go over and just pluck the thing
off her head. The point being, at
least once a day, someone kinda
wants to get fired!”

Steak Team Mission grills for Team Carl Vinson
by MC1 Travis Alston
USS Carl Vinson, At Sea Sailors assigned to the aircraft
carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN
70), Carrier Air Wing (CVW)
17, and Carrier Strike Group
(CSG) 1, enjoyed made-to-order
steaks provided by the Steak
Team Mission during a steel
beach picnic on the ship’s flight
deck Feb. 8.
The organization shipped,
prepared and served more than
5,000 steaks for the crew.
“I was fortunate enough to
join the group this time because
they needed additional help,”
said Michael Kahn, a Steak
Team Mission member. “We
really appreciate what you guys
do. We try to show our support
state-side as much as possible.
Being deployed, you guys don’t
have the opportunity to see that,
so coming out here and showing our support first-hand really
made this trip joyous.”
Sailors flocked to the flight
deck for the steel beach picnic
to get a fillet, along with all
the fixings. Various ship organizations assisted with food
preparations, making it one of
the most successful picnics on
board the ship.
“A lot of Sailors were looking
forward to having a good steak,”
said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate
(Fuel) 1st Class Nakari McWhorter, a member of Carl
Vinson’s first class petty officer
association. “The lines were
long, but moved quickly due to
the help of my shipmates.”

Omarr’s weekly
Astrological
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):
Great achievements yield great
rewards. You may need to put
forth a little extra effort to get
the job done in the week ahead,
but the results will be well worth
it. Expect your romantic pulse to
start beating a bit faster as the
evening arrives.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Loosen the leash a little. Being overprotective or possessive won’t
sit well with loved ones. Allow
them a little breathing room to
do their own thing and they’ll
appreciate the confidence. Conditions for business will improve
as the week unfolds.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20):
There’s a light at the end of the
tunnel. A long, arduous journey
or task is nearing its completion
and you’ll soon be able to take a
bow for your accomplishments.
While your mind may be all
business this week, a significant
other may have designs for your
body.
VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22):
Don’t take things personally.
There’s no reason to perceive
every comment as a slight and
get into verbal sparring matches
over nothing. Your aggressive
nature may be sated by engaging
in competitive sports or physical
exercise this week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Sometimes what’s left unsaid
is more important than what is
said. It’s not necessary to act on
every idea or thought. While you
may be ready to act on your first
instinct this week, it may be best
to wait a few days before giving
a more informed answer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22.):
Sticks and stones may break
your bones, but words can never
hurt you. Mean-spirited comments may only be intended
to get a rise out of you, so
don’t give the other party the
satisfaction and just walk away.
Romance moves to the forefront
as the week unfolds.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Take your time. In the week
ahead, you may be absorbing information and impressions faster
than you can process it all. Don’t
take any action until you’ve gone
over all the data and gained all
the insight you need to make an
informed decision.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21):
Don’t let someone get under
your skin. A rude or thoughtless
person may cross your path in
the week ahead, but rest assured that you won’t have to
endure them for long. Go with
your instincts when it comes to
making decisions and you can’t
forecast
go wrong.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Spread a little sunshine. You can brighten up
someone’s day if you share your
enthusiasm and positive attitude.
Remember to be considerate
and forgiving if a minor conflict
over facts and fiction heats up
this week.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan.
19): Break through barriers.
The only way you’ll get past
the roadblocks that have been
holding you back is to overcome
them. Roll up your sleeves this
week and show a little initiative
where career and business matters are concerned.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb.
18): Success or failure is decided
in the planning stages. Employ
inventive and hard-nosed strategies to handle a difficult person
in the week ahead. A special
someone may want their Valentine a little bit early.
PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20):
Nothing worth having comes
easy. If you truly want to achieve
your objective, you’ll have to
keep working at it, no matter how difficult the task may
become. Quick catnaps could
help when your energy level is
running low this week.

Navy men’s basketball beats Army, 67-59, to claim N-Star victory
Sophomore guard Zach Fong
poured in a career-high 24 points
and senior forward Worth Smith
was clutch down the stretch as
the Navy men’s basketball team
(9-15, 5-7 PL) defeated Army
(14-9, 5-7 PL), 67-59, to win
a second straight Star Game
Feb. 7 and sweep the 2014-15
season series against its service
academy rival.
Fong was 9-of-14 from the
floor and 5-of-9 on 3-pointers
for his 24 points, which came in
a career-high 37 minutes. Fong
scored 18 of his 24 points in the
first half. Fong was filling in for
injured starting guard Brandon
Venturini. Smith had 14 points,
eight rebounds, and three blocks.
Smith scored seven straight
points for Navy down the stretch
to help seal the win.
“Zach Fong kept us in the
game in the first half,” said head
coach Ed DeChellis. “In the
second half, Worth played very
well. He made some really big
shots in the last two minutes of
the game. I’m really proud of our
kids. Army took the lead and we
grabbed it right back and held on
to it and Worth made some big
shots down the stretch to win
the game.”
with a big one-handed dunk
and then Fong hit 3-pointers
on back-to-back possessions to
put Navy ahead, 10-4. The lead
grew to 14-7 after buckets by
Dunbar and sophomore center
Edward Alade.
Junior point guard Tilman
Dunbar had a great all-around
game with 16 points, five assists,
three rebounds and steal, while
junior center Will Kelly had five
points, seven rebounds, four
blocks and four steals.
Army cut the lead to 14-13,
but a 3-pointer and a jumper
by Fong and two baskets from
Dunbar pushed Navy’s lead
to eight at 23-15. Fong would
hit another jumper and then a
3-pointer late in the half with
an Army defender draping all
over him to give Navy a 36-30
Kelly got Navy going early

Army would continue to battle
and after cutting Navy’s margin
to one at 36-35, Dunbar hit a
jumper, Kelly scored on a layup
and then Dunbar hit two free
throws to extend the lead to
seven. Fong hit a jumper and
another 3-pointer and senior
guard Earl McLaurin drilled
a 3-pointer, but Navy then
went on a five-minute scoring
drought that saw Army take a
52-50 lead with a 6-0 run.
Smith broke the run with a
3-pointer to set up a wild finish that saw the lead change
seven times in the next five
minutes. After Smith’s 3pointer, Army’s Kyle Wilson
answered with a jumper to
retake the lead, but Navy
took it right back on the next
possession after a jumper by
Dunbar.
Army would go up two after
a Tanner Plomb and-1 play,
but Navy got a free throw
from Kelly and then a jumper
from Smith to retake the lead
briefly until Dylan Cox scored
on a layup to give the Black
Knights a 59-58 lead.
Smith hit a big 3-pointer
to put Navy ahead by two
and then hit another jumper
two possessions later to give
Navy a four-point lead with
his seventh straight point.
Army missed on the other
end and Dunbar grabbed the
defensive rebound and later
made both free throws after
being fouled.
Wilson missed on the other
end and Smith flew in to grab
the defensive rebound. Fong
then knocked down one of two
free throws. Army missed another 3-pointer and it was then
freshman Shawn Anderson
who hit a free throw to send the
game to its 67-59 final.
Navy was 8-of-18 on 3-pointers (44 percent), while Army was
just 5-of-24 (21 percent).
Navy scored 21 points off of
Army’s 19 turnovers.
Navy matches its overall win
total from last season (9), while

Americans donate
401,052 pounds
of candy to
Operation Gratitude
During the months of November and December, 10,184
generous dentists, companies,
families and individuals from
across the country collected
Halloween candy and other Operation Gratitude Care Package
items to send to the United States
Military for the holidays. In
total, they collected and shipped
more than 401,052 pounds of
candy to Operation Gratitude.
That poundage represents more
than 12 Million individual pieces
of candy lovingly donated to our
military men and women.
“In addition to this enormous amount of candy, millions of other items, including
snack food, toiletries, entertainment products, and hand-made
scarves and paracord bracelets,
were collected throughout the
year for our troops,” said Angel
Cuevas, Operation Gratitude’s
Director of Operations and a
Marine Veteran. “Just in this past
year, we worked with 48,592
individual and corporate donors
who made it possible for us to
fulfill our mission of support to
the military.”
In 2014, Operation Gratitude’s volunteers assembled and
shipped 117,279 care packages
to Troops deployed in harm’s
way, and to Veterans, New Recruits, Military Families, First
Responders, Wounded Warriors
and their Care Givers.Since
its founding in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have
shipped a total of 1,188,661
care packages to the Military
community.
AutoMatters+: Blue Angels 2015 & ‘Jupiter Ascending’
This year that will be on March 14
at the Naval Air Facility El Centro
Annual Air Show.
The Blue Angels is the flight
demonstration squadron of the
United States Navy. Its mission
“is to showcase the pride and
professionalism of the United
States Navy and Marine Corps by
inspiring a culture of excellence
and service to country through
flight demonstrations and community outreach.”
The Blue Angels travel the
country performing in air shows.
I have enjoyed their carefully
choreographed, thrilling aerobatic flight demonstrations many
times at San Diego’s Miramar Air
Show (most recently covered in
AutoMatters+ #353).
The home base of the Blue
Angels is in Pensacola Florida.
However, as I learned from their
Public Affairs Officer, each year
their team deploys to El Centro
for up to ten weeks of intensive
flight training. The El Centro
location in Southern California’s
Imperial Valley provides an ideal
training ground from which to
fly their squadron of modified
Boeing F/A-18 Hornets. The
team includes “Fat Albert,” their
familiar Lockheed Martin C-130
Hercules.
The weather in the Imperial
Valley this time of year is typically
clear and free of winter storms or
high winds. During this winter
training period the Blue Angels
fly two or three times per day
for a total of 120 training flights
completed by their first air show.
I often go on photo shoots
with San Diego County’s Pacific
Photographic Society (PPS). My
interests in photography and the
Blue Angels coincided on a sunny
weekday in early February at a
PPS-organized shoot (by prior
arrangement) of the Blue Angels
as they trained over and around
Naval Air Facility El Centro for
the 2015 show season.
On this day many of us stood
high atop stacks of hay bales so
that we could not only see the
Blue Angels as they performed
above us, but also on the ground as
they took off from and landed on
a nearby NAF El Centro runway.
The sensation of enormous power
that we felt as four Blue Angels
took off side-by-side and passed
over us was truly something
wonderful to behold.
Individually and in various
formations the Blue Angels performed a succession of thrilling
maneuvers. From a spectator’s
point of view, perhaps the only
thing missing from this training
session was an announcer explaining what we were seeing. For that
we’d need to go see them perform
at an actual air show.
In 2015 the Blue Angels’ ambitious schedule will take them
across the United States from
coast to coast, ending at the Blue
Angels Homecoming Air Show
at NAS Pensacola in Florida on
November 6 and 7. In between,
the Blue Angels will perform at
San Diego’s MCAS Miramar Air
Show on Oct. 3 and 4. Last year,
in addition to seeing a Blue Angels
performance during the daytime
show on Saturday, I also enjoyed a
completely different show (but not
with the Blue Angels) on Saturday
evening. The finale included a
Painting the sky
Four-jet diamond formation
massive wall of fire and a spectacular fireworks show.
I’ve already made plans to
return to NAF El Centro to see
another Blue Angels training
day, perhaps followed by two air
shows.
To learn more about the Blue
Angels, their aircraft and the many
locations of their event-filled 2015
season, visit their website at www.
blueangels.navy.mil.
“Jupiter Ascending” is an entertaining, complex, science fiction
fairy tale. On one level it is a
futuristic Cinderella story.
Its Cinderella character is Jupiter Jones, convincingly portrayed
by Mila Kunis. We follow her life
and death struggles that begin with
her difficult life on earth, where
she eventually finds work as a
humble immigrant maid cleaning toilets; to her unlikely and
perilous life as a long-lost royal in
the far-off reaches of outer space
– and then back to earth again.
The special effects, presented in
a thankfully subtle application of
IMAX 3D, are state-of-the-art. I
especially enjoyed the anti-gravity boots and vehicles used in the
fight scenes.
Evil, deceptive villains and a
genetically engineered, likable,
highly skilled ex-military hero
named Caine (Channing Tatum)
keep this action adventure moving
right along.
Blue Angels in flight
In telling its tale “Jupiter Ascending” raises intriguing philosophical questions: Are we alone?
Are we from Earth? Are we unique
individuals? Is there a fountain of
youth and, if so, at what cost?
“Jupiter Ascending” is in theaters now.

stage, when the world was
seen through rose-colored glasses and ordinary occurrences such
as misshapen pancakes were
interpreted as serendipity: “Oh,
Honey, look! It’s shaped like
a heart! Don’t eat it, let’s save
it...[*smooch, smooch*]”
However, when you’ve been
married for more than 20 years
like we have, romance might
need a little coaxing. Like a
couple of old gas grills, our
easy-start buttons broke some
time ago, so if we want to get
cooking, we need a plan to ignite
the flame.
#1 Make reservations. Gone
are the days when we could
show up for a romantic dinner
without reservations, and stare
into each other’s eyes while
waiting for 45 minutes at the
crowded bar. Nowadays, the
hostess better seat us quick, and
put in a rush order of chowder
while she’s at it, before my
husband gets “hangry” or I start
to yawn.
#2 Don’t just talk about the
kids. When we were young,
Valentine’s Day dinner conversation was dominated by quixotic plans for a perfect life of
adventure, a white-picket fence,
and an ever-deepening love. But
two decades into marriage, we
find ourselves chatting about
mundane details such as the
status of the leaky dishwasher,
the latest college bill, and how
far we have to drive for the
next away game. Steering the
conversation in a more amorous
direction requires considerable
effort, but it’s worth it... even if
our dreams for our future now
involve post-retirement walks on

the beach wearing wrap-around
sunglasses and pants pulled up
to our armpits, while carrying
metal detectors.
#3 Don’t fall asleep on the
couch. In the old days, we wandered around after Valentine’s
dinners, arm in arm, stopping
to admire urban landscapes or
bucolic scenery. But as middleaged parents, we head home as
soon as the waitress boxes up
the leftover chicken piccata, and
resist all urges to “wind down
in front of the TV for just a bit,”
because the odds for intimacy
decrease considerably after you
fall asleep on the couch with
your mouth open.
#4 Brush, floss and gargle.
When we were young, passion
was a given. But now, if we are
able to muster a bit of affection
in the midst of stretch marks
and male-pattern balding, we
wouldn’t want to let something
like personal hygiene kill the
mood: “Honey, I love you and
all, but you’ve got a fleck of
pepper between your teeth, and
I’m getting the aroma of clams
casino.”
#5 Keep it real. Don’t obsess
over recreating the passion of
your youth. Instead, think of
what you and your spouse have
shared over the years -- the
dreams, the milestones, the joys,
the hardships, the moves, the deployments, and the real life experiences. What could be more
romantic than knowing you’re
with someone dedicated to lifetime companionship, right?
Plan your Valentine’s Day
strategy, and the romance will
happen... spontaneously.
