Lifesaving emergency call goes out
during NASP’s ‘Solid Curtain’ exercise
Story, photo

Gosport Associate Editor
While an “active shooter” exercise – a
part of Navy force protection drill “Solid
Curtain-Citadel Shield” was happening
March 20, a real-life emergency took
place simultaneously onboard NAS
Pensacola.
As police were storming Bldg. 624 in
pursuit of a “gunman with hostages,” an
emergency call was received at Fire &
Emergency Services Gulf Coast
(F&ESGC). A civilian contract employee
was in respiratory arrest at Bldg. 4149
(the new Air Force hangar at NASP’s
Forrest Sherman Field) and nearly a
dozen firefighters and emergency medical
technicians (EMTs) responded.
“We were on standby for (Exercise
Solid Curtain-Citadel Shield) when we
received the call,” EMS Capt. Brandon
Beecher said. “The dispatcher told us the
patient was not breathing and CPR was
in progress.”
The NASP emergency dispatch center
immediately ordered two units to the
scene, and F&ESGC Fire Station 3 –
already located at Sherman Field –
joined the response as well with a crash
truck and the station rescue truck. Station
three’s units arrived at the scene first, to
find the patient in full cardiac arrest, with
CPR being performed on him by a coworker.
“They advised us the patient spoke of
having chest pains, sat down and then
just collapsed on the floor,” Beecher

Coast personnel that took part in a March 20 emergency call. The group went into action when a Navywide exercise
turned into an actual lifesaving call involving a cardiac arrest.
said. “We checked for a pulse, and there
was no pulse.”
Station three’s firefighters Lt. Chris
Keeler and Randy Ashworth took over
CPR while Beecher set up advance cardiac
life support equipment.

worked was a tight space; one emergency

desk to administer a large-bore intravenous
catheter for medication administration.
At the same time, F&ESGC Fire
Station 2 firefighters Antonio Jackson,
Stephanie Peterson and Lt. Guy Peters
took over CPR from the station three personnel.
Beecher administered epinephrine,
inserted an airway and attached a cardiac
monitor, hoping to capture the cardiac
rhythm. Having “looked” at the patient’s
heart, Beecher saw the patient was in a
non-shockable rhythm, and CPR was
directed to resume. “Flatline. There was
no electrical activity at all,” he said.
The clock was ticking. After four

domain.
During the two days of training
the MTTT qualified NATTC staff
members and Sailors from the Gulf
Coast area to become BI trainers and
provide the training to a small group
of NATTC “A”-school students.
Class participants received training
in areas including gender relations,
abuses of power and discussions
of social norms, all centered on
the principle of supporting mutual
dignity and respect.
As of late March 2012 close to
10,000 Sailors have received the
training and more than 400 have
been qualified as BI trainers.
“A lot of training we’ve held up to
this point has been reactionary when
someone has been assaulted.

more minutes of CPR, Beecher saw that the rhythm
had changed from asystolic to slow beating – fewer
than 60 beats per minute – and ordered the CPR
ceased. The patient began labored breathing on his own
and Beecher removed the airway.
Placed on high-flow oxygen, the patient was prepared
for transport to Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP).
En route, Beecher administered atropine, which stabilized
the patient’s heartbeat and it was decided to deliver
him instead to Baptist Hospital, where he could best
benefit from that hospital’s cardiac catheter lab.
At Baptist, the patient was able to speak, describing
the blackout. A few hours later, back from the brink,
he was able to sit up in bed and carry on a conversation.
Saving human life is a remarkable part of the dayto-day
job at F&ESGC. For his part, Beecher was
satisfied with the smooth functioning of the emergency
response system. “It’s a very good feeling
when the plan, the whole system, and everybody
comes together and we work as a team,” he said.
“It’s never one person. From that first CPR, to the
dispatchers knowing what to say on the radio to give
us the information that we need, to getting there and
doing our stuff. It definitely felt great.”

Sexual Assault Prevention
and Response (SAPR)
training,” said ICCS
Claudia Seawright, BI
program manager. “We
want people to get
involved before a rape
happens. Sixty percent of
violent crime is against
women. Of that 60 percent,
12 to 13 percent of
people do something, and
so we’re trying to reverse
that trend, because if
someone gets involved
before an assault or rape
happens the level of acuity
goes down for the victim.”
The Navy monitors statistics
on sexual assaults.
• 583 reported sexual
assaults in Navy in 2010.
• Approximately 70-80
percent of sexual assaults
in the military are never
reported.
• Female Sailors have a
20 percent chance of
being sexually assaulted
during their careers.
• Approximately two
out of three assaults are
perpetrated by fellow
service members.
• One out three Navy
assaults involves exploitation
of subordinates.
• Reports of male sexual
assaults increased 181
percent over Fiscal Years
2009 to 2010.
• The highest risk
group, based on
Department of Navy
assault data, is age group
25 and below.
The secretary of the
Navy and Chief of Naval
Operations have zero tolerance
of sexual assault
and have made it a priority
to eliminating the crime
in the Navy.
Because of the magnitude
of the problem and
the importance of stopping
the criminal behavior,
the development of
training to help leaders
build a SAPR culture of
professionalism, respect
and trust that is institutionalized
across the Navy
was initiated.
Through a multifaceted,
aggressive and
persistent approach, the
Navy is changing its culture
by instilling in Navy
leaders the critical role
they play in developing a
command climate that is
intolerant to sexual violence
and responding to
victims and holding
offenders accountable.
Bystander Intervention
training is delivered to A-
school students to educate
them on their responsibilities
to intervene in situations
of possible assault or
sexual assault and that, as
leaders, it is their responsibility
to act. They are
being trained not as potential
perpetrators or victims
of sexual assault, but as
bystanders who can and
will intervene with other
Sailors when they
encounter risky situations.
“We don’t use power
points or electronic
media to teach this
course, it’s mostly peerto-peer
interaction. We
throw a scenario at them
they discuss and come up
with their own conclusions.
There isn’t a right
or wrong answer. As
we’ve discovered, especially
with the junior
Sailors, they love this
type of training,” said
ET1 Courtney Caldwell,
training team member.
“We try to help re-calibrate
their moral compass
because they may not
have learned the right
thing to do. A lot of times
we hear ‘snitches get
stitches’ because that’s
the way they were
raised.”
The Navy’s Training
Support Centers and A-
schools began delivering
BI training to post-recruit
training Sailors in
January. The training
held at NATTC, one of
the Navy’s largest training
centers, was to support
their need for more
trainers due to the large
student throughput.
The training teams
taught the future trainers
what they needed to know
to teach BI training by
providing an environment
for frank discussions
about mental models,
assumptions, consent and
cultural beliefs. They also
discuss development of a
command climate intolerant
of sexual assault,
while being supportive of
sexual assault prevention
and bystander intervention
behavior.
“I really agree with the
use of frank discussion. It
makes it easier to retain. It
breaks down a lot of barriers
because everybody has
their own backgrounds
and culture,” said RP1
Queenie West, NATTC
staff member. “I expect to
take away from this training
a strong sense of
courage to do what is right
even in a bad situation.
That’s the same thing I
want my future students to
take away – to stand up for
what they know is right
regardless of the repercussions,
to do the right thing
all the time, not just sometimes.”
The training is giving
NATTC’s instructors
more skills they can pass
on to their students.
“The training gave me
perspectives on those who
are affected and those who
are causing it,” said ABE1
Andrew Vanwinkle,
NATTC instructor. “It also
gave me insight as to how
I can teach my students
who may think it isn’t in
them to intervene. With
this training they’re given
direct or indirect options.
They don’t necessarily
have to be the one who
puts up an arm up, but
they’ll know who to go to
for help.”
On the last day, the
training teams reviewed
course material taught the
previous day with the
soon to be trainers and
provided BI training to a
group of 30 NATTC “A”
school students. Referred
to as a modeling session, it
gave the new trainers
insight on how to facilitate
a class.
“The subjects we discussed
were sometimes
hard to get comfortable
with and could get very
personal, but it’s something
that we need,” said
AA Cecilia Flores Atrella,
a NATTC “A” school student.
“There are a lot of
very biased people who
think victims put themselves
in that situation like
‘she deserved it’ or ‘he
deserved it.’ The class was
very helpful thinking
about situations from different
perspectives.
Before, I wasn’t a strong
leader, but after sitting
through the course I definitely
feel more comfortable
about reporting an
incident or situation, and
not thinking about it
twice.”
The Bystander
Intervention pilot completed
in the spring of
2011 showed statistically
significant change in attitude.
“We want the Sailors to
understand that being a
bystander and getting
involved could actually
help someone else. We
want them to know that
there is nothing wrong
with stepping up and
being a leader. That’s why
we have them develop
their own leadership list
that we constantly refer
to,” said Joyce Dyson,
training team member.
“We want them to take
away from the training
that being a leader, stepping
up and saying something
is being a proactive
bystander.”

CID chaplain continues tradition of physical fitness
From CID Public Affairs
A Navy chaplain at the
Center for Information
Dominance (CID) unit
Corry Station has continued
a century-old practice
of providing for not only
the spiritual, but physical
welfare of his Sailors.
Navy Chaplain Lt. j.g.
Nicholas Alander has
developed a new way of
conducting physical training
(PT), which is as innovative
for the students and
staff onboard Corry
Station, as the original PT
program must have been
for Sailors in the days
when the Navy was still a
sail-powered force.
In the latter half of the
19th century, as the Navy
evolved from sail to steam
power, and the United
States was becoming a
mighty worldwide maritime
force, its Sailors
were, ironically, losing
physical strength and
endurance.
In the early 1890s Capt.
Francis M. Bunce, thencommanding
officer of
Naval Station Newport,
R.I., tasked Navy
Chaplain Wesley O.
Holway to develop a compulsory
drill program for
Sailors to keep them from
getting soft and out of
shape.
Bunce had observed
that Sailors onboard sailpowered
ships who regularly
climbed the ship’s
rigging and handled canvas,
were lean and hard,
while Sailors onboard
steam-powered ships were
out of shape due to their
lack of hard physical
labor.
The program Holway
described in his report to
Bunce was so well
received, that in 1898 it
became the Navy’s first
official Manual of
Physical Drill.
Like Holway, Alander
has created a new and different
kind of workout
program for his staff at the
Corry Station Chapel.
Unlike Holway’s paperbased
program, though,
Alander created a videobased
program for today’s
technology-savvy Sailors.
Alander said his voluntary
PT program was
intended to help his staff to
get in shape, but one that
also was fun and challenging.
Above all, it was
designed to dovetail with
– but not replace – the
established command PT
program.
“At the chapel we want
to take care of the whole
person; not just the spiritual
side, not just the emotional
side, but the whole
person and that includes
physical fitness,” Alander
said.
Word spread about the
chaplain’s unique program
and interest grew among
students and staff onboard
CID Unit Corry Station.
Students and staff from
around the command
requested to participate in
the program. Alander’s
small PT group soon grew
from a handful to dozens
of participants.
The new program lasts
for eight weeks and is
divided into three phases.
The first phase is
dubbed as “Get There,”
which lasts 30 minutes
each day.
Alander was able to
track the amount of calories
burned by having participants
wear calorie
counters.
“Participants were able
to burn about 500 calories
in 30 minutes during the
first phase,” he said.
The second phase is
called “The Work” and
ramps up the difficulty
while upping the workout
routine to 45 minutes,
which burns approximately
800 calories.
The third and last phase
is called “It’s On,” which
is an hourlong routine.
“You have the potential
to burn 1,000 to 1,300
calories,” Alander said.
“That’s more than a 10-
mile run worth of calories
in an hour.”
Participants who complete
the program are
awarded a T-shirt and a
workout video to go along
with their accomplishment
and new found athleticism.
The work out video was
filmed by Alander and the
students who participated
in the fitness program.
“The program is not
just a one-time thing,”
Alander said. “I created
the videos so that they can
continue with the program
wherever they’ve moved
on to.”
As a safety precaution,
those interested in participating
must abide by and
sign an agreement that
includes the rules and
safety policies of the program.
Alander is CPR trained
and is a qualified command
fitness leader
(CFL). Additionally, his
assistants for the Corry
“A” school student PO3 Maria Veon, of Scranton, Pa., jumps high in the air during
the first Corry Gets Fit Challenge program, which was conducted in the fellowship
hall at the chapel onboard Corry Station. The program has become so
popular it is now held in the base gym. Photo by Gary Nichols
Gets Fit program are also
CPR trained and are designated
as assistant CFLs.
There have been around
300 participants since the
inception of the program
in August 2011. To date,
there have been about 200
people who’ve completed
the regimen and have
drastically improved their
overall fitness.
“Ever since I have been
doing this workout, my
flexibility, agility, and
energy level have all
improved greatly. I lost 17
pounds since I have been
with this program,” IT
“A” school instructor IT2
(SW/AW) Lakisha
Johnson said. “Give it a
try. If I can do it, anybody
can do it.”
Alander stresses the
idea that not only can
Navy chaplains provide
services that strengthen
the individual’s spiritual
and mental health, but
they can also support the
individual’s physical
health since they are interconnected
with each other.
“This is the beginning
of something that I hope
will continue,” Alander
said. “And I think that if
we can get people fit physically,
mentally they will
be sharper and will do well
in school, and just have a
very positive outlook on
anything that comes their
way.”

The War of 1812’s invasion of American soil proved the need for stronger coastal
defenses ... and in the 1820s-40s, Fort Jefferson (Florida Keys) and sister forts Fort
Pickens (Pensacola) and Fort Morgan (Mobile) were built to help defend our shores.
Story, photos

Gosport Associate Editor
A.
B.
To visit Fort Jefferson, you’ve got to
really, really want to go there. It’s located
on Garden Key, almost 70 miles
west of Key West. Accessible only by boat or
seaplane, the trip is expensive and difficult.
But for a history buff, it is also the trip of a
lifetime – and completely worth doing.
C
Though my wife and I lived in Miami for
almost 20 years, we had never managed to
make the trip to Fort Jefferson. Located in the
Dry Tortugas National Park, it’s a two-hour
trip by high-speed catamaran out of Key
West, and that boat makes only one trip a day.
When you visit Key West, there’s a lot to see
and do; visiting Fort Jefferson will cost you
an entire day, and time spent in the Florida
Keys is precious. As day-trippers from
Miami, we were never able to make it happen,
but it was on “the bucket list.”
As a part-time military historian with a love
of bricks and cannon, I’ve seen as many of the
Third System forts as I can. We Pensacolians
have a strong attachment to our own Fort
Pickens; now imagine the lure of Fort Jefferson:
a perfect, undamaged relic from the days
of sail, steam and gunpowder. The largest masonry
structure in the Western Hemisphere,
standing on its own island in the middle of the
Gulf of Mexico ... a three-story, six-sided,
420-cannon fort. I had to see it.
On a recent trip to see South Floridian family
members, we worked in the time to make
the trip. We had reservations aboard the catamaran
Yankee Freedom II, but the first attempt
was a bust. A cold front had just passed
and the waves were eight to 12 feet. Since the
boat makes 26 knots, the two-hour crossing
was going to be rough – so rough, the crew
advised passingers to think twice. With three
days in Key West, we rescheduled the trip for
the third day. I’d waited a long time to see Fort
Jeff – the final delay was excruciating.
On the third day, the seas had calmed –
somewhat. With Dramamine in hand, we
boarded the Yankee Freedom II at 7:15 a.m.
Kevin Bowes, a crewman and guide onboard
the ship, gave snorkeling instructions,
historical information and park regulations to
the passengers during the trip. Some were
tourists, some were divers looking to ogle
coral and fish. A few curiosity-seekers told
me they went “just because it was there.”
After the Marquesas Keys passed astern,
there was only blue water to be seen as the
cat made its way west across the deep water
that separates the Keys from Cuba.
About the time the fort was to come in
sight, passengers crowded the front of the
ship for the first glimpses of a brick fortress
rising up out of the sea ... in the middle of
nowhere. The sense of remoteness was incredible
– the water, a color and clarity not
even seen in the Keys. We disembarked;
snorkelers heading to the swimming areas,
history-seekers dividing into groups for a
guided tour of the fort.
Called the “Dry Tortugas” due to its lack
of wells, the group of islands were discovered
by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in
1513.
The United States realized the importance
of the location shortly after the War of 1812,
and realized with the construction of a fort, it
could control navigation in the Gulf and ships
bound for the Mississippi River.
More than 16 million bricks were used in
the construction of Fort Jefferson – and the
majority of those bricks came from Pensacola.
Construction started in the 1840s and
took decades; when the Civil War broke out,
bricks were imported from Maine, instead.
These Yankee bricks can be seen as a row of
darker red bricks in the upper tier atop the familiar
yellowish clay bricks.
Unlike Fort Pickens (and Fort Morgan),
Fort Jefferson has never been updated: it has
no ugly Spanish-American war emplacements,
or modern World War II batteries. In
fact, it was never really completed; the advent
of the Civil War’s rifled cannon –
which could demolish masonry – proved
that the day of brick forts was over. Fort Jefferson’s
planned armament was never fully
emplaced.
The remoteness of the location made duty
at the fort a hardship; few Soldiers enjoyed
it, though the good fishing was noted. As a
prison, though, it excelled, and the fort
gained fame in July 1865, as the lockup for
Dr. Samuel Mudd, Edmund Spangler,
Samuel Arnold, and Michael O’Laughlen:
conspirators in the assassination of President
Lincoln. It also housed many other commonplace
prisoners, mostly Army deserters
and civilians convicted of theft.
By the late 1800s, the expense of maintaining
Fort Jefferson was seen as prohibitive.
Storms and weather had taken their toll and
the fort’s military usefulness was in doubt. It
continued to be used as a fever quarantine station
and in 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
designated the whole area as Fort
Jefferson National Monument.
Listed on the National Register of Historic
Places in 1970, the Dry Tortugas, including
the fort, was established as a national park in
1992.

Base teams unite in Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield exercise
Story, photo by Lt. j.g. Tim Mosso
NASWF PAO
Naval Air Station Whiting
Field conducted a comprehensive
test of its physical security
and emergency response capabilities
during a simulated security
breach March 20.
The drill, which was conducted
as a component of the
March 19-25, Navywide Solid
Curtain/Citadel Shield force
protection exercise, was
designed to engage and evaluate
each of the air station’s crisis
response professions.
Rudy Mendiola, NAS
Whiting Field N7 Training and
Exercise coordinator, described
the drill as a security response
simulation, albeit one focused
on those disciplines unique to
the air station.
“It’s what we call an ECP,
entry control point protection.
Nationally, everyone is going to
simulate an elevated force protection
status.
“(NAS Whiting Field) has
coordinated our installation
services to focus on exercising
their individual, unique capabilities,”
Mendiola emphasized.
The air station’s personnel
were confronted with a scenario
involving forced entry to base
grounds by a suspicious, unauthorized
private vehicle. The
initial stage of the drill engaged
the physical security forces of
the base under the aegis of
Security Department Training
Officer Rodney Wood.
“We had the primary lead
since it was a security breach;
we’re the first responders. Our
role was to detect the breach,
neutralize the threat and secure
the scene for the other agencies.
“Once the physical task of
extraction was judged beyond
the capabilities of the first
responders, because it’s an integrated
exercise, we handed that
task to fire suppression crews
and paramedical teams from the
fire department,” Wood
explained.
Following a brief pursuit, the
“bogie” simulated a desperate
evasion maneuver, and base
crews were instructed to
respond as if the vehicle had
been disabled, rendered hazardous
and impervious to safe
occupant extraction.
This sequence was designed
to test the teams’ professional
skills as well as their communication
procedures. Security
established initial on-scene
command, and a dynamic, onthe-fly
turnover of authority
was required in order to ensure
no delay in the deployment of
fire crews. The interaction of
agencies during this process
was judged essential to the success
of the exercise.
“When security got on the
scene today, they saw a vehicle
upturned, assed the situation,
realized the extraction and treatment
was beyond their immediate
capabilities, and they did an
on-scene change-of-command
with fire,” Wood noted.
“We had the primary lead since it was a security
breach; we’re the first responders. Our role was to
detect the breach, neutralize the threat and secure
the scene for the other agencies.”
— Whiting Security Department
Training Officer Rodney Wood
Members of the fire department at NAS Whiting Field respond to a simulated motor vehicle accident
staged as part of Exercise Citadel Shield, part of the Navy-wide Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield
drill held recently.
The arrival of fire crews
introduced fire suppression and
paramedical capabilities to the
on-scene resources, but a new
challenge emerged. As fire
fighters and EMT personnel
approached the wreck, unspecified
“hazardous material” was
declared to be present on the
scene.
The additional threat element
prompted a temporary withdrawal
while suppression crews
assessed the danger. Ultimately,
the material was judged to be
spilt gasoline, not an improvised
explosive, and crews were able
to manage the risk while tending
to the intruder.
“As far as the planning, conducting
the exercise, the crews
performed outstanding. All of
our objectives on the scene were
met; they did everything I was
looking for,” Fire and EMS
Training Officer Chief Brian
Tracey, said.
“We build experience on
every single drill, regardless of
how well or successfully we
execute, but they really excelled
today. And a big part of this
drill was communication with
security, which was great. The
transfer went off without a
hitch,” he added.
Base Public Works
Environmental Department personnel
were the last to engage
the crash scene. While specialist
skills of security, fire and EMT
personnel addressed the most
exigent threats, the lingering
challenge of scattered pollutants
required a different approach.
Public Works Environmental
Director Mike Pattison illustrated
the challenge.
“Environmental would be
called in once security and fire
have secured the scene in their
respective fashions and released
the site to environmental. We
will restore the site from any
hazmat spills. Today, we were
on site with a dedicated spill
responder,” Pattison explained.
While interdisciplinary
responders served as the core of
the drill team, they were not
alone. In order to make the drill
as representative as possible,
personnel from unrelated base
agencies were on hand to experience
the pace, process and
intensity of a crisis situation.
Individuals from Morale,
Welfare and Recreation, Branch
Medical Clinic, public affairs,
the chaplain’s office and the
Fleet and Family Support
Center were present to gain
insight by means of exposure.
“We wanted them to get used
to operating in this environment
because they (non-responders)
are not used to being in these situations.
“Of course, the interdisciplinary
handoff was outstanding
because these groups work with
each other all the time on simulations,
but we wanted to broaden
the experience of our other
personnel to prepare them,”
Mendiola emphasized.
Although the Branch
Medical Clinic was not directly
involved, personnel from its
ranks were on hand to gauge the
atmosphere of an unfolding crisis.
HM2 David Guerrero
described the logic of stationing
observers from non-participating
agencies.
“Basically, we’re here to
observe this exercise from a
safety perspective. We’re trying
to get an overview of how
everything goes in these situations,”
he said.
The air station conducts a
minimum of four significant
force protection and crisis
response drills per calendar
year. Ultimately, the goal of
each is to ensure safety for the
base’s personnel and mission
readiness for the core task of
training naval aviators. Wood
views this objective as the ultimate
benefit of diligent preparation.
“Whiting Field is, above all,
about its people. We have students,
staff, dependents and
retirees who depend on a safe
environment. We want people
to come aboard and feel safe,”
he said.

Spotlight
Child Abuse Prevention Month’s
Big ‘Blue Out’
‘Blue’
spotlights
campaign
to prevent
child
abuse
From NASP Fleet and Family Support Center
If you knew a child was sad and blue,
would you take the time to make that
child’s situation better Most people
would say yes. “From Blue to Better” is the
name of a new campaign aimed at preventing
child abuse by emphasizing that it is everyone’s
job to keep children safe. Launched by local
child and family service agencies, From Blue to
Better uses the color to highlight this issue during
April, Child Abuse Prevention month.
“Our goal with this
campaign is to make people
aware that way too
many children in our area
are experiencing traumatic
abuse,” said Stacey
Kostevicki, executive
director of Gulf Coast
Kid’s House, the child
advocacy center serving
Escambia County.
“The idea
behind the
‘From Blue
to Better’
campaign
is that we,
as a community,
can do
better for our
children,” Kostevicki
said. “As a community
uniting together, we can
hope that one day all children
will be afforded a
childhood free from
abuse.”
“Preventing abuse is a
community activity and
the Navy’s Fleet and
Family Support Center
(FFSC) is joining with us
by supporting the From
Blue to Better campaign.
The Fred Smalley Youth
Center has been working
on making pinwheels for a
pinwheel garden that will
bring awareness to our
military families,”
Kostevicki said.
“We are also asking
individuals and businesses
to take small steps this
April by committing to
wearing blue on April 18.”
In Northwest Florida
last year, 5,802 children
received services from
FamiliesFirst Network
because of verified abuse
and neglect. With
Lakeview Center as its
lead agency, FamiliesFirst
is a
network
of agencies working
together to provide foster
care and other services to
abused and neglected children
in Escambia, Santa
Rosa, Okaloosa and
Walton counties.
“The number of children
needing protective
services has taken an
alarming jump in the past
year, and the trend is continuing,”
says Ann Harter,
Lakeview Center’s vice
president for child protective
services.
“We have contracted
with local agencies like
Children’s Home Society
and Families Count to provide
prevention and diversion
services in the homes
of families where abuse
can’t be confirmed, but the
need for assistance is obvious,”
Harter said. “It
would be so much better
for the children and our
community if families
had the supports needed
to keep children from
ever coming into
the child welfare
system.”
Although wearing blue
and changing light bulbs to
blue ones won’t change
the immediate situation for
abused children, creating
awareness is the first step.
Child abuse is a complex
problem that stems from
a variety of factors,
including stress, poverty,
substance abuse,
domestic violence and
mental illness. While
physical abuse might be
the most visible form,
other types, such as emotional,
sexual and negligent
abuse, also result in
serious harm.
Abuse can be avoided
in many instances.
Research shows that when
parents possess six protective
factors, the risk for
neglect and abuse diminish
and optimal outcomes
for children, youth and
families are promoted. The
six protective factors are:

Jokes & Groaners
Jokes of a heroic nature ...
My hero: Recently, my niece came home with her school
project: a beautiful coffee cup with the words, “My mommy
is my hero,” printed on it. Her eyes tearing, my sister said,
“This means so much to me.” Her daughter nodded. “I
wanted to put ‘Hannah Montana’ on it, but the teacher
wouldn’t let me.”
The job interview: Reaching the end of a job interview, the
human resources person asked the hot-shot young engineer,
fresh out of college, “And what starting salary were
you looking for” The engineer cooly said, “In the neighborhood
of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits
package.”
The interviewer said, “Well, what would you say to a package
of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical
and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50 percent
of salary and a company car leased every two years –
for starters, say, a red Corvette”
The engineer tried to control his excitement, but sat
straight up and said, “Wow – are you kidding”
“Yeah,” the interviewer shrugged, “But you started it.”

NATTC health clinic Sailors
chip paint, dust off the ‘Lucky A’
Story, photo
by Rod Duren
NHP PAO
Navy medicine personnel
– Sailors, officer, civilian
and a pair of children –
from Naval Air Technical
Training Center (NATTC)
branch health clinic
recently completed their
third weekend clean-up
detail aboard the World
War II battleship and
museum, USS Alabama
(BB 60), located on
Mobile Bay in Alabama.
The March 17 (St.
Patrick’s Day) sweep was a
half-day “whirling dervish”
for the 16 volunteers who
took their dust mops, paintchippers
and cleaning gear
shipboard in an effort to put
a new-Navy shine on Navy
history. USS Alabama – or
sometimes known during
World War II as the “Lucky
A” – is currently celebrating
the 70th anniversary of
its commissioning.
The chief volunteer of
this (and several other
Pensacola area community
projects) is an “old salt,”
compared to several of the
just-out-of-corps-school
Sailors.
HN Deanna Sanders of
Dothan, Ala., has been in
the Navy for a year, but
duty hasn’t stopped her
The USS Alabama (BB 60) clean up squad; includes Command Master Chief Douglas Sprague (far left)
and NHP CO Capt. Vedral-Baron (third from right).
from arriving on Mobile
Bay with colleagues from
the Pensacola medical clinic
to dust and polish 70
years of naval history.
“I learned a great deal
about the Navy and its history”
just being aboard the
battleship, she said, while
wearing a St. Pat’s green T-
shirt emblazoned with the
words: “Kiss Me, I’m
Navy.”
On her third visit,
Sanders took Naval
Hospital Pensacola (NHP)
Commanding Officer,
Capt. Jennifer Vedral-
Baron, on a tour to the
lower deck to see final
restorations of the ship’s
medical and sick bay facilities
the group had worked
on in previous visits.
The group also chipped
paint in sick bay and the
captain’s quarters, and
wiped down picture displays
– simple, day-to-day
things for which the historical
museum may not
always have funds.
“This day was great,”
said Owen Miller, property
manager for the battleship
memorial. “We really
enjoyed y’all’s visit and
hope we can do something
similar,” for the wartimecrew
reunion April 14. “It
gets no better,” he said.
The Sailors were excited
about the prospect of
returning to the ship to hear
stories from the crew
members who served
aboard the Lucky A.
The Alabama got its
nickname in World War II
after firing more than 1,250
(410 mm) shells, shooting
down 22 enemy aircraft
and never incurring the loss
of a single man to enemy
action.
HA Kimberly Berglund
of Arizona got caught up
on observing “how crazy
things have changed” in the
Navy since World War II.
“I really appreciate these
opportunities to do something
different in the community,”
she said. “This
was a great, and very different,
volunteer effort. It also
makes me appreciate being
a hospital corpsman.”
The lone officer to take
up Sanders’ volunteer call
was Lt. j.g. Nicole
Mazzeo-Russo, a physician
assistant at the
NATTC clinic.
“It was pretty impressive,”
said the Long Island,
N.Y., native. “I’d never
been here before, but I really
enjoyed doing this as a
team.”
The Sailors return to the
Alabama April 14 to start
work on a new volunteer
effort to assist returning
wartime veterans originally
stationed onboard the
ship, said Sanders.
“We will be visiting and
listening to sea stories”
from 70 years ago, she
said.
The ship was commissioned
Aug. 16, 1942. The
ship’s sponsor was
Henrietta McCormick Hill,
wife of Alabama’s U.S.
Senator Lister Hill – best
known for co-sponsoring
the 1946 Hill-Burton Act
that provided federal funding
for hospital construction
in rural areas. He also
became the leading proponent
of federal funding of
medical research, by which
billions of dollars were
eventually allocated to the
National Institutes of
Health.
So, what were Sailors
from a Navy medical unit
doing aboard a battleship
museum anyway Could
there be historical and/or
medical ties There were
three.
1. The ship’s sponsor:
the wife of a U.S. senator
from Alabama.
2. A Navy historical
treasure needing “care.”
3. And a Navy corpsman-volunteer
from
Alabama leading the
charge: a perfect trifecta of
good reasons.
