I did this all while in a simulator.
I know it is virtual reality, but it was
still fun. I also have to give credit to
Jim, the site manager, because he
basically guided me through the
whole process and controlled the
throttle so I maintained the speed
needed.
I now have a new appreciation
for pilots because there is a lot
going on while you’re flying.
I also found out how important
the instruments were while flying.
Driving a car is two dimensional. I
just need to worry about speed and
making sure I don’t hit a tourist jaywalking across Duval.
However, flying a jet is three
dimensional. I have to be concerned with an altitude, speed,
whether or not I am level, diving or
ascending and much more.
There was one instrument I
learned to trust quickly - the gyroscope. That had to be the single
most important instrument to my
success in the simulator. My eyes
deceived me on different occasions when I thought I was level

I would have
noticed if I was
nose diving into the ocean, but it
was the slow descent that tricked
me.
In our lives, it is the small things
that slowly pull us down. We compromise our integrity here. We
say something there. Then weeks,
months or years later, we find ourselves fully immersed in the ocean
of sin that we were trying to fly
above.
What we need is a gyroscope
for our spiritual reality. I trusted
my eyes and my gut to keep me
level, but they were not enough.
Our physical reality and our emo-
tional realities may seem right, but
they could be misguiding. We must
check our spiritual instruments to
ensure we are being guided right.
There are many different instruments to keep us on track. The
Bible keeps us on track to ensure
our beliefs and teachings are in line.
Prayer helps keep our emotions in
check especially when we are in
fear or worry. Going to church and
seeking counsel among others was
like Jim making sure I checked my
instruments or giving me information I would have never known
about if I just tried to fly in the
simulator on my own.
These are just a few instruments
needed, but the important point is
that we check them frequently.
Just as the designers of these
jets didn’t add instruments in the
cockpit for show, God didn’t give us
His instruments to ignore them or
to misguide us. If we do not learn
to use those instruments, then our
spiritual reality may become a virtual reality in our lives; although it
may seem real, in the end you are
just simulating your faith.

• Please read all documents and
know your responsibilities are
before the pack-out.
• Household shipments of more
than 5,000 pounds will require
more than one day to pack.
• Review inventories before signing and secure a copy before the
carrier leaves the area.
• Notify the moving company
ahead of time if any of the items
require crating or special pack-
ing as this requires advance
approval.
• Most importantly, be patient
during the busy months - May,
June, July and August.

‘Ask the doc’ reviews high-protein diets
FROM NAVAL HOSPITAL JACKSONVILLE
Question: What are high-protein,
low-carbohydrate diets?
Answer: They are diets - like the
Atkins and Zone diets - that have been
widely promoted in recent years as
effective weight loss plans. The basic
premise behind these diets is that by
avoiding carbohydrates and increasing protein, the body will promote fat
burning that leads to weight loss.
Lic. #MM30205
401970
Question: Are there any adverse
reactions to lowering carbohydrate
intake?
Answer: The myth that carbohydrates are more fattening than protein
has been around for decades. When
the body is deprived of carbohydrates,
energy or glycogen stores become
depleted and the body begins to break
down protein in muscle and nerve tissue, which is needed to fuel the brain
and nervous system. This loss of lean
muscle mass can actually lower the
body’s metabolism, causing it to burn may cause inflammation of the joints
less calories after the diet than before. in those predisposed to gout.
Question: Do high-protein, lowcarbohydrate diets provide the body
with recommended daily nutrients?
Answer: They tend to avoid many
fruits, vegetables and grains; and are
typically deficient in many nutrients
- such as folate, vitamin C, fiber and
phytochemicals. These nutrients have
been shown to promote health and
prevent various types of cancers.
Question: Are there any risks associated with high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets?
Answer: Food items associated with
these of diets - such as eggs, bacon,
butter, cheese and red meat - are high
in animal fat, which can increase the
risk of heart disease, kidney problems,
type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.
High-protein diets can also cause
nausea, fatigue, constipation, bad
breathe and elevated uric acid, which

Top 10 tips to save $ in tight budgets
FROM NAS KEY WEST
PUBLIC AFFAIRS
A
rticles abound on how to save
money and establish a budget
at the www.militarysaves.org
website. For those on a tight budget,
here are 10 ways to build small savings into big savings over time:
Tip 1: Keep a careful record of all
expenditures for a month. You may
be surprised to learn how much you
are spending on such things as a daily
latte or restaurant meals.
Tip 2: For necessary purchases food, transportation and insurance
- comparison shop. The commissary
and exchange offer year-round savings. Use those savings opportunities
just as you use other military benefits.
Tip 3: Restrain spending for
birthdays and holidays, especially
Christmas. A few well-chosen gifts
are likely to be more appreciated than
a more costly pile of gifts bought in a
shopping mall foray.
Tip 4: Interest rates on
credit card debts and other
retail credit lines can
easily run 25 percent.
Save hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
dollars a year by pay- ing off these
high-cost debts. If you are located at a
military installation you can get assistance at the Fleet and Family Support
Center for free. Personal financial
managers and counselors are there to
help and can be assets in designing a
debt repayment plan.
Tip 5: Build an emergency fund to
avoid having to take loans to pay for
unexpected purchases.
Tip 6: Set up an automatic transfer each pay period or month
from checking to savings
accounts or through an
allotment. Even $10
or$15 a month helps.
After all, that’s $120 or
$180 a year.
Tip 7: Put all loose change in the
savings account. For many people,
that could add up to well over $100
a year.
Tip 8: Low- and moderate-income
workers may qualify for an Earned
Income Tax Credit that can save
$1,000, and often, more than $2,000.
The EITC Assistant tool provided by
the IRS can help determine if you are
qualified to claim the credit.
Tip 9: Participate in a local investment development account program.
In return for attending financial education sessions and agreeing to save
for a home, education, or business,
you typically receive $2 for every $1
you save through an IDA program. So,
$25 that you save each month ends
up as $900 at the end of a year.
Tip 10: Participate in the Thrift
Savings Plan or Save at Work.
Although designed to build up until
retirement, the money can be withdrawn, or borrowed on, to cope with
serious emergencies.

Celebrating a century of history
BY MC1 (SW/AW) BRIAN MORALES
Southernmost Flyer
N
aval Air Station Key West’s MultiCultural Heritage Committee
and Naval Branch Health Clinic
Key West’s Social Committee hosted luncheons celebrating African-American/
Black History Month Feb. 19. The luncheons took place at the Key West Area
Chief Petty Officer Association Mess and
NBHCKW faculty lounge, respectively.
This year’s theme for African-American
History Month is “A Century of Black Life,
History and Culture.”
The Multi-Cultural Heritage Committee
prepared meatloaf, chicken wings, cornbread, green beans, collard greens, mashed
potatoes, yams, sweet potato pie, peach
cobbler and fruit. Display boards featuring historic icons were also presented for
Sailors and civilian employees around the
CPOA mess.
“Before, branches were limited in regards
to race, but following the civil rights movement we are now able to have people serving in several positions and in different
ranks,” said MCHC President MM1 Juliana
Gomez, as she described the importance of
the observance.
“As time has progressed they’ve removed
limitations on how we serve and what we
can do,” Gomez added.
The Social Committee invited Key West
Commissioner Clayton Lopez to judge a
poster contest among NBHC Key West divisions and join them for their luncheon.
Posters depicted African-Americans
throughout history that have steered the
course toward the rights and freedoms in
American society today.
Before the luncheon, Lopez spoke to
Sailors and faculty members of the clinic.
“Key West has a history richly embedded in Caribbean history, black history,
American history, and world history,” said
Lopez. “Truth be told, they are all the same,
aren’t they? Doesn’t one contribute to the
other?”
Lopez asked attendees to consider what
impact they would have in the history
of future generations. He concluded his
speech saying, “Everyday, we have an
opportunity to do something that has the
potential to immortalize us! Do it! Thank
you! God bless you! God bless this wonderful little city, God bless the state of
Florida and God bless the United States of
America!”
African-American/Black History Month
began in 1926 as a week-long observance
in February that included birthdays of two
key figures in African-American history,
Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.
In 1976, the week became a month-long
celebration that continues to be celebrated
in February.

20th Fighter Group P-51D Mustangs parked at Shaw Field in November 1946.
Pilot
continued from page 3
until January 1945, the 20th took
part in the Battle of the Bulge.
After visiting VFC-111, and
meeting Commanding Officer
Cmdr. Walter Peasley, Ramey
took a tour of Tactical Combat
Training System, where he
learned that technology has
replaced the chalk boards that
were used to brief and review
flight operations.
At the invitation of the NAS
Key West Chief Petty Officers,
Ramey spoke about his experiences as a combat fighter pilot.
When asked what it was
like flying the P-51D Mustang,
Ramey said, “It was like holding the hand of a beautiful
woman.”
He then spoke of his WWII
flying experiences.
“I was the smartest dumbbutt to come out of flight training,” he said of his initial bravado. “But I learned a lot.”
“You learn a lot in war,” he
added, quietly. “You have to, or
you don’t survive.”
Ramey still carries shrapnel
in one leg, a memento from
when his plane was hit. He
landed the damaged aircraft
even though the hydraulics
had failed.
In October 1945, the 20th
Fighter Group returned to Shaw
Air Force Base, South Carolina.
The 20th Air Group is still
assigned there, as is Ramey’s
squadron - the 79th.
He said he had the opportunity to stay in the Army Air
Corps as a first lieutenant,
instead of his wartime rank of
colonel. Instead, Ramey chose
to go home.
“At the end I had had enough.”
