The NAS Pensacola Morale, Welfare and Recreation 

(MWR) department is the recipient of a Christmastime 

surprise from Commander, Navy Installations Command 

(CNIC). 

Following a new accreditation review process – the 

first of its kind – the base MWR program was recognized 

with a four-star accreditation from CNIC. 

Kerry Shanaghan, NASP MWR/Child-Youth 

Programs (CYP) director, accepted the ebony and glass 

four-star award from base Commanding Officer, Capt. 

Christopher Plummer, in an informal ceremony Dec. 12. 

“It’s the culmination of a lot of work from a lot of

equipment and manning. It’s a two-year accreditation 

cycle with a performance data call submitted each year to 

validate the standards. Combined customer satisfaction 

scores (based on surveys); employee satisfaction and 

turnover numbers; and financial performance all determine 

an accreditation score. 

An accreditation team was sent out to all bases submitting 

for the awards. There were no five-star accreditations 

for 2010-2011, the first year of the award. 

Eleven bases worldwide were recognized with fourstar 

awards, with five of those being in Southeast region.

It’s beginning to look a lot like 

Christmas. And with Andrew Jackson

how celebrations affect the environment. 

Just think of the prepared food, 

decorations, cards, invitations and 

miscellaneous items that are associated 

with celebrating the holiday season. 

Everyone should be aware that 

alternatives exist to make events more 

eco-friendly, and that the ultimate

MCPON sends holiday message to the fleet 

Special from Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy 

(SS/SW) Rick D. West 

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Master Chief Petty Officer 

of the Navy (MCPON)(SS/SW) Rick D. West released 

the following holiday message to the fleet. 

“Shipmates and Navy families, 

Can you believe another year is almost over? It’s 

amazing how quickly time passes when you’re staying 

busy. It seems we were kicking off 2011 just yesterday 

and here we are, about to usher in 2012. 

With the traditional festivities of December upon us, I 

want to wish you all the happiest possible holidays, and 

to say thank you for the outstanding service and support 

you provide to our Navy and nation. I continue to be 

humbled by your selfless dedication and the outstanding 

job you do every day around the globe. 

We faced some challenges this year and will continue 

The Festival of Lights: 

a brief history of Hanukkah 

By SN Roselyn Kirkelie 

Gosport Staff Writer 

The Hebrew word 

Hanukkah (Chanukah) translates 

to dedication, which is 

what the Jewish people of the 

second century B.C. undoubtedly 

had to possess in what was 

a very turbulent time in Jewish 

history. Often called the Festival 

of Lights, the eight-day celebration 

begins each year on the 

25th day of Kislev on the 

Hebrew calendar. For those of 

you who are less familiar with 

the Hebrew calendar, Kislev is a 

30-day month in autumn, much 

like the Gregorian month of 

November. 

After Judae was taken under 

control of Antiochus IV 

Epiphanes, around 200 B.C., 

the Jewish religion was outlawed 

and Jews were forced to 

worship Greek gods. Needless 

to say, this did not 

sit well with many 

Jewish families. 

A rabbi by the 

name of Mattahias 

along with his five 

sons decided the 

only thing that 

could be done was 

to revolt, and so 

began a large-scale 

rebellion against Antiochus and 

his Syrian army. Mattahias didn’t 

live to see the end of the 

rebellion but after his death his 

son, Judah Maccabee, took the 

helm and within two years the 

Jews had successfully driven 

the Syrians out of Jerusalem. 

The Jewish people rebuilt and 

“cleansed” the altar of their 

sacred Second Temple that had 

been desecrated when 

Antichus took over. The menorah, 

a gold candelabrum with 

seven branches, was lit and 

meant to be kept burning every 

night. 

According to the Talmud, 

one of Judaism’s important 

books, Judah Macabee and the 

other Jews who took part in the 

rebuilding and dedication of 

the Second Temple witnessed 

what could only be described 

as a “miracle.” Even though 

there was only enough olive oil 

to keep the menorah’s candles 

burning for a single day the 

flames continued to flicker for 

eight straight days, giving them 

enough time to attain a fresh 

supply of oil. The Jewish scholars 

would proclaim a yearly 

eight-day festival, and so began 

the tradition of Hannukah. 

Although, the story of 

Hanukkah does not appear in 

the Torah, which is the most 

important text in Judaism, 

because the event that inspired 

the holiday happened after it 

was written, it does appear in 

the New Testament of the 

Bible, in which Jesus attends a 

“feast of dedication.” 

In modern days the celebration 

of Hanukkah revolves 

around the igniting of a ninebranch 

menorah known as the 

hanukiah. On each of the eight 

nights a candle is 

added to the menorah 

after sundown. 

The ninth candle, 

called the 

shamash, or 

“helper,” is used to 

light the other eight 

candles. Typically 

Jewish families 

quote blessings 

and display their menorah in a 

window as a reminder to others 

of the “miracle” that inspired 

Hanukkah. 

Some Jews serve foods that 

are fried in oil; such as potato 

pancakes, known as latkes, and 

jam-filled donuts called sufganiyot. 

You may also find 

children playing with foursided 

spinning tops called dreidels 

and families often 

exchange gifts. 

In North America, 

Hanukkah is viewed as a 

major holiday, due to the fact 

that it falls near or overlaps 

with Christmas. However, 

from a religious standpoint it 

remains a relatively minor 

Jewish holiday that places no 

restrictions on working, 

attending school or other 

activities. 

to do so for the foreseeable future, but we will get 

through them together as we have done for the past 236 

years. The Navy, after all, is a team sport and in 2011, we 

enjoyed many operational successes together that are 

worth celebrating. They are your legacy ... the deployments, 

the steady presence in difficult places, the helping 

hand when natural disasters left vulnerable people in 

their wake. 

You and your shipmates worked hard and sacrificed 

often. As you visit with loved ones, scour the shopping 

malls, or hit the ski slopes during these joyous weeks, 

take a moment to reflect on the special appreciation 

America has for you and your family. Be proud of your 

accomplishments, and share sea stories with moms, 

dads, siblings, aunts, uncles and old buddies. 

Most of all, be safe and enjoy the holiday season to its 

fullest. Celebrate responsibly: You are important to our 

Navy family and we need every one of you to return 

Four-star from page 1 

recharged for the next adventure. Don’t let bad judgment 

ruin the new year or your life. Look out for each other, 

and keep an eye on your shipmates who may be having 

a difficult time. 

It’s also important that we remember the thousands of 

our shipmates who are deployed, on station around the 

world vigilantly keeping the watch, ready to answer our 

nation’s call. They are there ensuring we have this 

chance to deck the halls, gather around family dinner 

tables, and belt out ‘Auld Lang Syne’ in a storm of confetti. 

Thank you again for serving our great Navy and preserving 

our nation’s freedom. Sailors and families, you 

are truly among this country’s greatest gifts. 

Happy holidays shipmates.” 

Very respectfully,

event generated. 

Here are some ideas to help make your holidays a 

little more “green:” 

Segregate recyclable items. Be certain that all 

recycling bins are clearly labeled and waste disposal 

containers are available for unrecyclable items. 

Finally, transport recyclables to the recycling center 

or coordinate a pick-up. The base recycling program 

accepts all types of paper including giftwrap and 

cards, cardboard, plastics, all types of metal, lead acid 

(car) batteries and appliances. Call the NASP recycling 

manager at 452-2028 or 572-6184 to find out 

more information. 

Give rechargeable batteries along with your electronic 

gifts, and consider giving a battery charger, too. 

Limit paper invitations and send out event invitations 

via email. List all events on shared electronic 

calendars and use a social networking site if your 

command has one already. 

This installation is dedicated to reducing waste 

throughout the year. As part of ongoing initiatives to 

reduce solid waste, base recycling members encourage 

all personnel, civilian employees and family members to 

cut back on solid waste generation wherever and whenever 

possible, and wish you a happy “green” event.

The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 

100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the 

Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. 

The image on the left side of the nameplate 

depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher 

bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 

1911. 

While Ely had taken off from the USS 

Birmingham two months earlier after his plane 

had been loaded on the ship, the USS 

Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane 

landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship. 

The image on the right side is the Navy’s 

most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super 

Hornet. 

Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, 

the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A 

gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors 

in the early days of naval aviation to give 

instructions and directions to their students. 

The name “Gosport” was derived from 

Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), 

where the voice tube was invented.

COMMENTARY 

Old ideas, fun new tricks for gifting 

By Emily Benner 


One of the most fun 

things about the holidays, at 

least for me, is gift giving. I 

love finding the perfect gift 

to thank someone for being 

in your life – there is a lot of 

satisfaction in knowing 

exactly what to give someone. 

But for many people, 

they may find that running 

to Dillard’s to buy dad that 

silk tie he was admiring 

might be out of their budget 

this year. 

Fear not. If you are still 

clueless as to what gifts to 

give, or are slightly lacking 

in the arena of holiday spirit, 

this editorial is for you. 

Making snowflakes 

may seem like no big deal 

to some people, but my 

Alaskan office-cohort had 

never cut a single paper 

snowflake until this year. 

Worry not, dear readers, for 

your home, office or car 

can soon be joined by the 

gentle fluttering of tiny 

intricate paper snowflakes 

in lieu of real snow here in 

Florida. The following photographs 

on the page illustrate 

how to successfully 

complete these wintery 

cutouts. 

Once you’ve decorated 

and are finally in the holiday 

mood, cue the Bing 

Crosby music and settle 

down for some fun do it 

yourself (DIY) gifts. 

A fresh look on coasters 

is a great gift idea for sisters 

Step 1 

or neighbors or roommates. 

They are super easy, and 

really cheap to make. Go to 

the hardware store and purchase 

several blank white 

tiles, which will run you 

Step 2 

about 16 cents each. Mod 

Podge some scrapbook 

paper to the top, glue felt to 

the bottom, and coat the 

whole thing in a clear 

sealant that you can find at 

any craft store. This is a 

great craft idea because it is 

very economic, and can be 

made to match any home 

decor based on the paper 

you choose. 

Another really neat DIY 

craft I found was a lamp. 

Not-your-average lamp, 

this one is made out of 

doilies and glue. Simply go 

to a craft store and find 

some lace or doilies, (or it 

can be done with yarn, too) 

Step 3 

and purchase a balloon. 

Blow up the balloon and 

tie it off. Using Mod Podge 

(its a type of glue), layer the 

materials you have chosen 

onto the balloon (take care 

to leave space for a lighting 

element). 

This one will take some 

time, because you have to 

wait for it to dry completely. 

Once it has dried, carefully 

pop the balloon. Voila 

– a unique lamp shell that 

you can add to a string of 

other similar orbs, or on its 

own. 

This is a really simple, 

extremely cute way to add 

some different lighting to 

your home without going 

Step 4 

to Pottery Barn and blowing 

$145 on a lamp made in 

Sri Lanka. I’m just saying. 

Spray paint it or leave it 

how it is – this is the kind of 

By Scott Hallford 

Gosport Editor 

gift that I think I’ll be giving 

to myself this year, if you 

know what I mean. 

Simple. Inexpensive. 

Fun. Go to websites like 

Pinterest.com for inspiriation. 

There is a surprising 

number of DIY projects out 

there that aren’t completely 

lame. I was shocked to find 

that not only were they 

easy, but I actually like the 

ideas so much I have 

already made plans to make 

some of these things for my 

own home (see previous 

crafts in this post). 

Go online and look up 

some sites that offer tutorials 

like www.diynet 

work.com. You will be surprised 

how many things are 

available that you didn’t 

consider making with supplies 

you already have. 

Since this is our last 

issue, be sure to have a safe 

new year. Happy holidays. 

Last Gosport for the year 

Today’s issue of your homebase newspaper 

marks the last edition of the year. 

Per our contract with the printer, Ballinger 

Publishing, we print 50 issues annually, so the 

December holiday period is a time the Gosport 

staff takes a break and re-groups for the next year. 

It has been a very busy year with various annual and 

new events the paper covered, particularly the extensive coverage we devoted 

to the Centennial of Naval Aviation. 

Next year is the Centennial of Marine Corps Aviation and the bi-centennial 

of the War of 1812, in which Pensacola and its area forts played a pivotal 

role. 

It should be another challenging but very exciting year. 

We will continue to work hard to bring you one of the best newspapers in 

the Navy and will begin our 91st year serving the Cradle of Naval Aviation. 

Staffing will be light over the next two weeks but on most non-holidays, 

someone will be in the Gosport editorial offices in Bldg. 1500. 

All classified ads submitted after Dec. 9 will appear in our next issue, Jan. 

6, 2012. 

On behalf of NASP Commanding Officer, Capt. Christopher Plummer, the 

NASP Public Affairs staff and Ballinger Publishing, we wish you all very 

safe and happy holidays.

(Above) Santa gives Prancer and Blitzen the day off and 

arrives at the NASP youth center in an NASP fire truck, greeted 

by a crowd of excited children. Selected children in grades 

three to five (and siblings) from N.B. Cook, Cordova Park, 

Myrtle Grove and Scenic Heights elementary schools were 

invited to the NASP youth center Dec. 7 for fun, frivolity and a 

visit with Santa. “We are very excited about the program and 

that our school was invited to participate this year,” said Mary 

Ellen Wiggins, principal of Scenic Heights Elementary School. 

(Right) ATO Eleni Adondakis, an Atlanta native from NATTC, 

puts her cover on Valery, age 7, from Scenic Heights 

Elementary School. Around 25 students were chosen from 

each school based on need and good behavior. 

The Naval Air Station Pensacola selected children’s 

Christmas party was held Dec. 7, and more than 100 children 

went home with presents to put under their tree for 

Christmas morning. 

The children were chosen from four area elementary 

schools: N.B. Cook, Cordova Park, Myrtle Grove and 

Scenic Heights. Children in grades three to five plus their 

siblings were eligible to attend and were hand-selected by 

staff based on need and behavior. 

“The community is so good with the military presence 

here in Pensacola. Organizations in town are constantly 

stepping up to provide things for the people on base – 

even for small things like bottled water,” said Karen 

Plummer, wife of NASP commanding officer Capt. 

Christopher Plummer, who was busily corraling excited 

children throughout the course of the day. 

The event was a success in every way. Children went 

home happy, and more than 100 volunteers were left with 

warm feelings from the day’s work. “We had to send 

away 150 (NASP) student volunteers today,” Plummer 

said about the enthusiasm of the volunteer force for the 

event. “They were sad, because they are just kids themselves.” 

While the kids were waiting on the big guy (who traded 

in his traditional transportation options for a ride on an 

NASP fire truck) they were escorted around the Youth 

Center gymnasium coloring, making holiday ornaments 

and gift bags, singing holiday songs and waiting in line 

for the most popular activity: balloon animals, the likes 

of which, parrots, swords and helmets, elaborate headdresses 

and flowers, were proudly carried throughout the 

day. 

The event closed with an exciting visit from the jolly 

elf himself – Santa Claus. Each child recieved a short visit 

from the rosy-cheeked northerner, and took home a 

goody-bag and presents, donated by people from an angel 

tree program, to be put under their Christmas trees for 

(what’s sure to be) an early morning wake-up Dec. 25. 

(Above) Children arrived at the party at 9 a.m. and spent the morning coloring (far left), making holiday ornaments (far right) and gift bags and singing along to holiday tunes (second 

from right). (Second from left) Maggie (5) from Scenic Heights Elementary School waits in line to see Santa. Maggie’s favorite part of the holidays is opening presents, putting out 

cookies and milk for Santa, and putting out oatmeal for the reindeer. Maggie was joined at the party by older sister Emory (10) in fourth grade, who asked for duct tape for Christmas. 

“I like to make things out of it; like wallets.” Emory’s favorite part of the holiday season is spending time with family because they all come together from out of town. (Below right)

and makes an alien headdress for a young boy at the party. Some of the other popular 

balloon creations included “pirate parrots,” “knight’s helmets and swords,” flowers, poodles 

and more. Michele Thomas, wife of NASP XO Cmdr. Greg Thomas, gushed about 

the event. “The city of Pensacola is so supportive of the military presence here. We try to 

support the community as well as the community supports us. It’s our way of saying ‘thank 

you’ to the people who treat our military so well.” Madalynne, age 9, from Scenic Heights 

said that one of her favorite parts of the holidays is waiting for a Santa and his reindeer.

was so high for this event that more than 150 NASP student volunteers had to be 

sent away. “I wanted to put a hand out there to show these kids that there are people who 

care about them,” said White who returned from deployment in Bahrain earlier this year. 

“Now that I’m stateside, I’m able to make an impact on the community, and I’m glad to be 

involved with these kids.”

Centennial of Naval Aviation (CoNA) year comes to a close 

Looking back, looking ahead • Last in a Gosport series celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation (CoNA) – 

100 years of naval aviation covering the scope of naval aviation activities, including aircraft, people, ships and events 

By Mike O’Connor 


In 2011, NAS Pensacola, the 

Navy and the nation have 

recalled the historic milestones 

along the flight path of 100 years 

of naval aviation. With celebrations 

and commemorative 

events going on from coast to 

coast, NAS Pensacola – as the 

Cradle of Naval Aviation – took 

an active role with a Centennial 

of Naval Aviation (CoNA) kickoff 

and base “birthday” celebration 

Jan. 20. 

More than 500 people, 

including Florida Gov. Rick 

Scott, gathered for the event to 

honor the Jan. 20. 1914, arrival 

in Pensacola the first naval aviators 

– an aviation unit from 

Annapolis, Md., consisting of 

nine officers and 23 Sailors who 

arrived to set up the first Navy 

flying school. 

NAS Pensacola hosted a 

CoNA Air Show onboard at 

base’s waterfront May 3-4, part 

of Naval Aviation Week Navywide, 

and the base as well as 

NAS Whiting Field played host 

to the “CoNA birds” – one type 

of each training aircraft in the 

Navy which was repainted with 

historical paint schemes to celebrate 

the centennial. 

In November, the Blue 

Angels Homecoming Air 

Show was dedicated to the centennial 

year and featured 

among others, a special flying 

guest: a Curtiss Pusher aircraft, 

replica of that which Eugene 

Ely flew off the deck of Navy 

cruiser USS Birmingham (CL 

2), Nov. 14, 1910, for the first 

shipboard take off.

Weekly CoNA historical 

pieces in Gosport throughout the 

year have kept base and area 

readers current, with the passage 

of 2011’s months corresponding 

to decades of naval aviation 

(articles about the 1930s in 

March, the 1940s in April, etc.). 

Gosport has kept you in the 

cockpit as naval aviation struggled 

into the air for the first time, 

led the way across the Atlantic 

with NC-4’s 1919 flight, as 

Navy dive bombers turned the 

direction of World War II at 

Midway, when Navy reconnaissance 

jets gave President 

Kennedy the news during the 

Cuban Missile Crisis, and as 

naval aviator astronauts walked 

on the moon. 

As 2012 comes into view, the 

future of naval aviation provides 

a glimpse that the pioneers in 

flight could not have imagined. 

Ships such as the USS 

Independence (LCS 2), a littoral 

combat ship that paid a port call 

to NASP in 2011, display the 

impressive technology that 

helps keep a “smaller, smarter” 

force leading the way in global 

peacekeeping. 

A key decision-making body 

for naval aviation, the Naval 

Aviation Enterprise (NAE) has 

devised a capabilities-based 

assessment integrated process 

(NCIP) to develop the paths that 

the Navy’s future aviation systems 

will take. 

According to NAE’s website, 

nae.ahf.nmci.navy.mil, in conjunction 

with Navy Aviation 

Plan 2031 and the Marine Corps 

Aviation Plan, aviation programs 

of the future are designed 

to: 

• Ensure naval aviation’s relevance 

by presenting credible 

warfighting capabilities to deter 

or defeat any threat. 

• Provide aircraft, systems 

and weapons that reach their initial 

operational capability and 

achieve the effects they were 

designed to produce, and sufficiently 

enhance their capabilities 

to keep pace with threats. 

• Optimize Navy and Marine 

Corps aircraft inventories so 

they have the ability to execute 

the most demanding wartime 

scenarios or meet surge force 

and reconstitution requirements. 

• Synchronize new procurements 

with the sunset of legacy 

aircraft. 

• Emphasize joint interoperability. 

Naval aviation: today and tomorrow 

By MCCS(SW/AW) Dave Nagle 

Naval Air Forces Public Affairs 

Today’s naval aviation force 

is comprised of more than 

100,000 officers and Sailors 

assigned to 11 aircraft carriers, 

10 carrier air wings, 25 naval 

air stations and 168 fleet, 

reserve and training squadrons. 

From pilots to aircraft maintainers, 

naval aviation professionals 

are supporting our 

nation’s maritime strategy 

around the globe. 

Aircraft carriers and 

embarked carrier air wings 

conduct a myriad of missions 

vital to America’s security, 

from combat operations, closeair 

support and maritime interdiction, 

to countering piracy 

and providing humanitarian 

assistance and disaster relief. 

Around the world and at home, 

they significantly contribute to 

cooperative security operations 

through forward presence and 

sustained, routine engagement 

with foreign partners and allies. 

USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) 

departed San Diego Nov. 30 

for its Western Pacific deployment. 

The ship is currently 

operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet 

AOR and recently conducted a 

port visit in the Republic of 

Korea. 

USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 

76), which recently deployed 

for its own western Pacific 

deployment, participated in the 

biennial Rim of the Pacific 

(RIMPAC) exercise near the 

Hawaiian islands in the summer 

of 2010. 

As part of the Navy’s 

“Global Force for Good,” 

naval aviation has been on the 

forefront of recent humanitarian 

assistance and disaster relief 

efforts. USS Carl Vinson and 

Carrier Air Wing 17 were 

among the first responders following 

the major earthquake in 

Haiti in January 2010. 

The future of carrier aviation 

looks strong. The first of at 

least three Ford-class aircraft 

carriers, USS Gerald H. Ford 

(CVN 78) is scheduled for 

commissioning in 2015. This 

new class of carrier will 

increase sortie generation rates 

and significantly improve the 

Navy’s warfighting capability 

and flexibility. 

During the next 20 years, 

nearly every platform in the 

carrier’s air wing will transition 

to a newer, more capable 

model. Manned fighters and 

patrol aircraft will be complemented 

by unmanned tactical 

aircraft; rotary-wing aircraft 

will make up a majority of the 

Navy’s future air force, performing 

critical anti-surface 

and anti-submarine warfare, 

mine countermeasures, and 

humanitarian assistance missions.

Vilardi passes TW-5 Reserve Component to Vannice 

Story, photo by 

Lt. j.g. Tim Mosso 

NASWF PAO 

Capt. Guy O. Vilardi passed 

command of Training Air Wing 

Five’s Reserve Component to 

Cmdr. Jay R. Vannice in a ceremony 

aboard Naval Air Station 

Whiting Field Nov. 30. 

Rear Adm. John Sadler, 

Commander, Naval Air Force 

Reserve, Deputy Commander, 

Naval Air Forces, Deputy 

Commander, Naval Air Forces 

Pacific Fleet, acted as presiding 

officer and guest speaker. 

Sadler praised Vilardi as a 

leader who exemplifies excellence 

in his performance and 

inspires a command to follow 

suit. 

“Guy is about leading people, 

doing the hard job, being a role 

model and completing the mission,” 

Sadler declared. 

Vilardi’s seamless transition 

from direct support of combat 

efforts in Iraq to the stateside 

training requirements of 

TraWing-5 was evidenced by the 

quality of the reserve component’s 

performance during his 

tenure. The TraWing-5 reservists 

under Vilardi dominated the 

Chief of Naval Air Training’s 

Cmdr. Jay R. Vannice 

2009 and 2010 awards for outstanding 

performance. 

“TraWing-5’s reserve component 

is the largest of the four in 

CNATRA … Guy’s people 

swept every award in CNATRA 

for 2010 for which they were eligible,” 

Sadler noted. 

During the course of Vilardi’s 

24-month tour as the commanding 

officer of TraWing-5’s 

reserve component, its contribution 

to naval aviation was sizable. 

The wing’s reserve instructors 

flew more than 52,000 flight 

hours and contributed 18 percent 

of TraWing-5’s total airborne 

training time during the two-year 

timeframe. 

Vilardi was awarded the 

Meritorious Service Medal for 

his service to TraWing-5. The 

value of the reserve component’s 

contribution to CNATRA was 

cited as indispensible and the 

standard set by Vilardi was 

hailed as exemplary. 

“The cream rises to the top … 

(Capt. Guy Vilardi), you make 

things happen,” Sadler 

remarked. 

Vilardi reflected on his experience 

at the air station with equal 

measures of satisfaction and 

gratitude. In the presence of fellow 

service members and family, 

the emotion of the moment 

inspired Vilardi to express the 

sentimental attachment to this 

command that he and his family 

felt. 

“It’s bittersweet for us, but we 

get to do it in the presence of our 

Whiting Field and TraWing-5 

family,” he noted. 

Moreover, Vilardi offered an 

emphatic testament to the value 

of military families who support 

service members through times 

of hardship and uncertainty. 

“In my house, my wife, 

Leslie, is the sun around which 

we orbit; I’m grateful for the support 

and sacrifice of my wife, my 

children and the support and sacrifice 

of our military families,” 

Vilardi emphasized. 

He used the occasion to thank 

key contributors to the wing’s 

success and the reserve unit’s 

performance. 

TraWing-5 reservists, many of 

whom travel hours from their 

homes of record to support active 

units, face unique challenges and 

hardships in the course of their 

service. Many of the officers 

split their time between the 

demands of commercial and military 

aviation. 

Vilardi, himself a captain for 

Delta Airlines, was enthusiastic 

in his praise of the resilience and 

resolve exhibited by all contributors 

to his unit’s success. 

He recognized and lauded the 

sacrifices of aviators, supporting 

officers, enlisted personnel, and 

his active-duty counterparts 

within the wing. 

While Vilardi’s speech was 

characterized by an engaging 

and emotive style, the recurring 

themes of gratitude and satisfaction 

stood salient in his concluding 

remarks as component commander. 

“Each one of those 52,000 

flight hours is a silent, successful, 

prodigious sacrifice … I’m 

grateful to serve,” Vilardi concluded. 

Vilardi’s next tour will be conducted 

in support of the United 

States Central Command. He 

has been named as prospective 

deputy commander for Maritime 

Expeditionary Squadron Eight 

based in Newport, R.I. 

Following a formal exchange 

of authority, Vannice thanked his 

predecessor and introduced his 

unequivocal vision for sustained 

high performance. 

In his opening remarks as 

commanding officer, Vannice 

stressed the importance of constant 

self improvement, teamwork 

and leadership at every 

level. 

“Grow and develop yourself 

as leaders; I urge you to lead by 

example. I have been thoroughly 

impressed with all of the officers 

I’ve met and our small but excellent 

cadre of enlisted professionals 

… we will continue to assist 

the (TraWing-5) commodore to 

train warriors and develop leaders,” 

he declared. 

Vannice expressed his total 

commitment to empower all 

TraWing-5 reserve personnel to 

accomplish this mission. 

“I will do everything in my 

power to ensure you have what 

you need,” he vowed. 

New Sexual Assault Response Coordinator welcomed 

From NASWF PAO 

Naval Air Station Whiting Field’s 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program (SAPR) welcomed their first dedicated 

Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinator (SARC) last month with the 

addition of Rachel Phillips to the FFSC 

team. 

As the Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinator (SARC), Phillips will energize 

the education and prevention efforts 

of a program that had previously been 

managed as a collateral duty. Formerly 

known as SAVI (Sexual Assault Victim 

Intervention), the SAPR program is 

designed to reduce the number of sexual 

assaults and raise awareness as well as help 

victims cope in the aftermath of such 

attacks. 

NAS Whiting Field fortunately has few 

reports of sexual assaults, but it does happen, 

and command leadership, individuals 

Sailors, and civilians need to be capable of 

taking the right actions in case someone is 

assaulted. 

“People need to be knowledgeable 

about sexual assaults and what to do if it 

happens to them or a coworker. Even with 

the program in place, commands are seeing 

the same numbers now as in 2005 and 

2006,” Phillips stated. 

“We need to educate young leaders as to 

what they need to do and who to call in the 

event of a sexual assault,” she said. 

Phillips may be leading the charge, but 

SAPR is not a one-person show. All command 

programs rely on a core of victim 

advocates to help victims through the medical, 

investigative and legal process; make 

referrals for assistance; explain the reporting 

options available; and help them deal 

with the overwhelming feelings following 

the attack. 

The victim advocates are trained 

responders who volunteer to serve on a 

rotating, on-call watchbill. More volunteers 

are constantly being sought out. 

“One of our challenges at Whiting is to 

maintain enough advocates to keep the 24- 

hour response watchbill intact,” said 

Jeanine Decuir, the chief of clinical counseling 

at the Fleet and Family Support 

Center. “Hopefully, we can educate people 

about the program and encourage them to 

serve as advocates.” The statistics are 

frightening. One in every four females and 

one in every seven males are expected to 

experience some kind of sexual assault by 

the time they are 18. 

High-profile sexual assault allegations 

currently in the news from Penn State and 

Syracuse, as well as events at the Air Force 

Academy, only serve as poignant 

reminders of the devastation caused by 

such acts and the importance of proper 

response. 

“There is a strong correlation between 

how a command responds to a sexual 

assault and how the victim heals afterwards,” 

Decuir emphasized. 

That’s why she and the FFSC director 

fought hard to gain approval for a dedicated 

SARC at the command. Phillips has 

both the educational background and experience 

with the military that fit the bill for 

what FFSC was seeking. 

Phillips separated from the Air Force in 

2010 after seven years of active duty where 

she served as a SARC in addition to various 

administrative, protocol and instructor 

duties. She holds a psychology degree 

from Baylor University and earned her 

master’s degree in professional counseling 

from Liberty University. 

Considering that she is the first non-collateral 

duty coordinator for the NASWF 

program, Phillips has her hands full, but is 

looking forward to the challenge. 

“I have really enjoyed my interaction 

with the people involved with SAPR in the 

past,” she said. “FFSC staff are very professional 

and knowledgeable. Working 

with them to help teach service members 

and leaders how to respond is truly a privilege.” 

Anyone interested in becoming a victim 

advocate, concerns or questions about the 

SAPR program, or needing to report an 

assault should call Phillips at 623-7177.

Spotlight 

A Visit from 

St.Nicholas 

’Twas the night before Christmas, 

when all through the house 

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, 

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; 

The children were nestled all snug in their beds, 

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; 

And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap, 

Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap, 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, 

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. 

Away to the window I flew like a flash, 

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. 

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow 

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, 

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, 

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, 

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. 

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, 

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; 

“Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! 

On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen! 

To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! 

Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away, all!” 

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, 

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, 

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, 

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. 

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof 

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. 

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, 

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. 

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, 

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; 

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, 

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. 

His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples — how merry! 

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! 

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, 

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; 

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, 

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; 

He had a broad face and a little round belly, 

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. 

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, 

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; 

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, 

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; 

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, 

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, 

And laying his finger aside of his nose, 

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; 

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, 

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. 

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, 

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.” 

by Clement Clarke Moore 

First published anonymously in 1823, the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” also known as “The Night Before Christmas,” helped create the modern-day conception of Santa Claus.

had mittens. 

Why did Frosty go to live in the middle of the ocean? Because 

snow man is an island. 

One Christmas, Phil and Will built a skating rink in the middle 

of a pasture. A shepard leading his flock decided to take a 

shortcut across the rink. The sheep, however, were afraid of the 

ice and wouldn’t cross it. Desperate, the shepard began tugging 

them to the other side. “Look at that,” Phil remarked to 

Will. “That guy is trying to pull the wool over our ice!” 

How poor were you? When I was young, my family was so 

poor that for Christmas we got batteries with a note attached 

saying, “Toy not included.”

Navy training headquarters selects 

analyst as Senior Civilian of the Quarter 

By Steve Vanderwerff 

NETC PAO 

Naval Education and Training 

Command (NETC) announced recently 

the selection of Randall Henley as its 

Senior Civilian of the Quarter (CoQ) for 

the third quarter of the 2011 calendar year. 

“I think it’s great that commands such 

as NETC recognize civilian personnel for 

their hard work, dedication and many 

contributions they make within their 

departments, command, Navy and 

nation,” said Henley. “My supervisor 

and co-workers constantly give 

me advice and guidance. 

They help me make 

informed decisions 

about work as well as 

life decisions. I couldn’t 

ask for a better group of 

people. Each one of 

them honestly cares 

deeply about this organization 

and its success along 

with its employees. My 

supervisor is always there with 

kudos when I do a good job, but also there 

to give me an extra nudge when needed.” 

Henley retired from the Navy after 20 

years of service in 2007. Before coming 

to work for NETC he worked at Navy 

Medicine Support Command in 

Jacksonville. A little more than a year ago, 

Henley says he jumped at the opportunity 

for promotion and the challenge of working 

in Navy training. 

“Learning the NETC domain and what 

we do for a living can be challenging. 

NETC is unique in what we do and the 

ever-changing way of doing business and 

changes in training requirements keep us 

busy,” said Henley. 

Henley believes his upbringing 

instilled in him the drive to succeed. 

“I think as a child, good values, morals 

and a strong work ethic were instilled in 

me. I was told to always give your best 

effort at everything you do. Be honest 

and don’t tell a lie. To do the right thing 

in life. Doing a good job brings a sense of 

accomplishment and having your supervisor 

and co-workers let you know 

you’ve done a good job feels great,” 

Henley said. 

As a manpower analyst, Henley works 

with The Total Force Manpower 

Management System (TFMMS) Micro 

Management Change application 

and assists NETC subordinate 

commands 

update their activity 

manpower documents 

(AMDs) as well as 

many other duties 

assigned. TFMMS is a 

classified mainframe 

manpower system that 

contains requirements, 

authorizations, and end 

strength data for Navy officer, 

enlisted and civilian personnel billets. 

“Randy is a valued member of our 

team,” said Deborah Lloyd, Henley’s 

supervisor. “He is enthusiastic and very 

knowledgeable. He takes the lead in 

accomplishing work that he sees needs to 

be done and does not hesitate to take on 

difficult tasks. Randy has excellent analytical 

and people skills. This was never 

more apparent than during the last few 

months when he led the way in reviewing 

and updating NETC domain manpower 

documents in a limited time. He provided 

direction and training to other manpower 

analysts throughout the domain while 

reviewing the majority of input received 

from subordinate commands.”

IT’S A

Scan this QR code for 

AFR news and events 

A part-time job in the Air Force Reserve 

made a difference. It gave me the time 

and financial support to continue my 

education and begin a civilian career. 

It’s ideal because I wanted to continue 

to serve but stay close to home. And 

I discovered the Air Force Reserve is 

offering signing bonuses up to $20,000. 

If you’ve served in any branch of military, 

you can join the Air Force Reserve 

without repeating Basic Training. I kept 

my rank as well as the sense of service 

and teamwork I’ve learned to love. Best 

of all, I now serve my country from 

where I choose to live.
