The next time you visit the Pensacola Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Airport, be sure to check out the changes <strong>at</strong> the <strong>USO</strong>’s<br />
Flight Deck lounge.<br />
You can sit in a comfy chair and w<strong>at</strong>ch a 60-inch fl<strong>at</strong>screen<br />
TV or hang out and enjoy snacks made in the<br />
new kitchen. Other upgrades <strong>at</strong> the lounge, which has<br />
been expanded to 1,200 square feet, include new carpeting<br />
and computer st<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
Guests including Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward<br />
got a first look <strong>at</strong> the newly remodeled facility on May<br />
18 when <strong>of</strong>ficials g<strong>at</strong>hered to celebr<strong>at</strong>e the grand<br />
reopening.<br />
Navy Capt. Chris Plummer, commanding <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong><br />
Naval Air St<strong>at</strong>ion Pensacola, was impressed.<br />
“I think it is a fantastic change,” he said. “I travel<br />
around the country frequently, and whenever I pass a<br />
<strong>USO</strong> I will stick my head through the door and take a<br />
look around. And I can tell you, th<strong>at</strong> this is the nicest one<br />
I have ever seen. It is just a gem in the <strong>airport</strong>, and really<br />
directly reflects Pensacola’s support for the military.”<br />
The <strong>USO</strong> oper<strong>at</strong>ion, which serves 2,400 military personnel<br />
a month and is a g<strong>at</strong>eway to the community, was<br />
well worth the investment, Airport Director Melinda<br />
Crawford said.<br />
“This is a gre<strong>at</strong> day for this <strong>airport</strong>,” she said.<br />
Heidi Blair, director <strong>of</strong> <strong>USO</strong> Northwest Florida, is<br />
very happy with the work done <strong>at</strong> the <strong>airport</strong>, and she<br />
said a similar remodeling project <strong>at</strong> the <strong>USO</strong>’s<br />
Recre<strong>at</strong>ion Center aboard Naval Air St<strong>at</strong>ion Pensacola is<br />
scheduled for completion by l<strong>at</strong>e June.<br />
The <strong>USO</strong>, which stands for the United Service<br />
Organiz<strong>at</strong>ion, is a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it charitable corpor<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong><br />
provides morale, welfare and recre<strong>at</strong>ion services to military<br />
personnel.<br />
The <strong>renov<strong>at</strong>ions</strong> are the results <strong>of</strong> Oper<strong>at</strong>ion HOPE,<br />
an eight-month fundraising project initi<strong>at</strong>ed by the<br />
Leadership Pensacola (LeaP) Class <strong>of</strong> 2012, a program<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Gre<strong>at</strong>er Pensacola Chamber. Both facilities were<br />
in significant need <strong>of</strong> renov<strong>at</strong>ion and repair, according to<br />

Resident Energy Conserv<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Program (RECP) coming to NASP<br />
From Navy Region SE<br />
and DoN<br />
The Department <strong>of</strong> the Navy (DoN) is<br />
aggressively pursuing conserv<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
initi<strong>at</strong>ives th<strong>at</strong> will reduce the<br />
dependence on foreign oil and<br />
other fossil fuels. One <strong>of</strong> these<br />
initi<strong>at</strong>ives <strong>at</strong>tempts to achieve<br />
reductions in the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
utilities consumed in our<br />
Navy/Marine Corps public priv<strong>at</strong>e<br />
venture (PPV) housing projects.<br />
These projects are <strong>of</strong> particular interest<br />
because the service members residing in<br />
them typically consume significantly<br />
more utilities than their civilian counterparts<br />
residing in the local market. The prevailing<br />
opinion is th<strong>at</strong> the main reason for<br />
this disparity is th<strong>at</strong> residents <strong>of</strong> PPV<br />
housing have paid a fl<strong>at</strong> r<strong>at</strong>e for their utilities<br />
(which are included in their basic<br />
allowance for housing (BAH), regardless<br />
<strong>of</strong> the amount they consume. This fl<strong>at</strong> r<strong>at</strong>e<br />
system provides no financial incentive to<br />
conserve.<br />
To address this problem and promote<br />
conserv<strong>at</strong>ion, the Resident<br />
Energy Conserv<strong>at</strong>ion Program<br />
(RECP) is being adopted. The<br />
program transfers some<br />
responsibility for utilities costs<br />
from the PPV partnership to the<br />
residents consuming the utilities.<br />
It accomplishes this objective by<br />
charging the residents for usage above<br />
the levels deemed to be normal for their<br />
geographic loc<strong>at</strong>ion and housing type<br />
and by rewarding residents for conserving<br />
utilities by issuing reb<strong>at</strong>es to them<br />
when their utilities consumption is<br />
below certain target levels. Since the<br />

his gradu<strong>at</strong>e degree in aeronautical science from<br />
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and was<br />
selected to be a dual design<strong>at</strong>ed aerospace physiologist/naval<br />
avi<strong>at</strong>or. Davis transferred to the Naval<br />
Aerospace Medical Research Labor<strong>at</strong>ory (NAMRL)<br />
in 2001 as the assistant department head for sp<strong>at</strong>ial<br />

United St<strong>at</strong>es Postal Service<br />

According to the USPS<br />
announcement, which began May<br />

1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight<br />
instructors in the early days <strong>of</strong> naval avi<strong>at</strong>ion to<br />
give instructions and directions to their students.<br />
The name “<strong>Gosport</strong>” was derived from<br />
<strong>Gosport</strong>, England (originally God’s Port),<br />
where the voice tube was invented.<br />
<strong>Gosport</strong> is an authorized newspaper published<br />

David Tuyo, interim president and chief executive <strong>of</strong>ficer<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pen Air Federal Credit Union, who was co-chairman<br />

base, as well as safety belt viol<strong>at</strong>ors. They get the message<br />
when she points <strong>at</strong> her safety vehicle or tugs <strong>at</strong> her<br />
own safety belt.<br />
“There appears to be either a lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge or<br />
disregard, whether it’s a priv<strong>at</strong>ely owned vehicle or<br />
government-owned vehicle,” she said. “It seems I cannot<br />
go out on the roadway without either seeing someone<br />
on their cell phone or not wearing their safety belt.”<br />
Texting while driving is especially distracting, Riley<br />
said, because it requires cognitive processing and a<br />
degree <strong>of</strong> focus – unlike taking a sip <strong>of</strong> c<strong>of</strong>fee.<br />
Jon Winters, NASP safety manager, agrees. “There’s<br />
no reason we’re not <strong>at</strong> 100 percent (safety belt compliance),”<br />
said Winters. “Wearing safety belts is going to<br />
save lives. And cell phone use – the main thing is th<strong>at</strong><br />

resident’s BAH is intended to cover<br />
rent and “normal” utilities, the resident<br />
is only oblig<strong>at</strong>ed to make out<strong>of</strong>-pocket<br />
payments when actual<br />
usage exceeds the amount determined<br />
to be the “norm.”<br />
Mock billing will start Jan. 1,<br />
2013. During this phase, mock bills<br />
will be issued to residents to transition<br />
them from the historic practice<br />
<strong>of</strong> not informing them <strong>of</strong> or charging<br />
them for their utilities usage, to the<br />
pending practice <strong>of</strong> holding them<br />
financially responsible for their<br />
usage. Mock bills simul<strong>at</strong>e wh<strong>at</strong> an<br />
actual bill would be if the resident<br />
were responsible for actual usage for<br />
th<strong>at</strong> period in time. During the mock<br />
billing phase the residents are not<br />
actually responsible for paying the<br />
bills, but r<strong>at</strong>her are given inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
and time to adjust to the idea th<strong>at</strong><br />
they will be held responsible for utilities<br />
usage in the near future.<br />
Implement<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> actual billing<br />
starts April 1, 2013. At th<strong>at</strong> time, the<br />
mock bills are replaced by actual<br />
bills and the resident becomes financially<br />
responsible. However, as mentioned<br />
in the mock billing phase, the<br />
resident’s BAH is intended to<br />
include average expenditures for utilities<br />
specific to each unit type in each<br />
military housing area. The resident<br />
only incurs an out-<strong>of</strong>-pocket financial<br />
oblig<strong>at</strong>ion when usage exceeds<br />
the amount determined to be the<br />
norm.<br />
Key points:<br />
• In 1998, the Office <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Secretary <strong>of</strong> Defense established a<br />
policy for payment <strong>of</strong> utilities in priv<strong>at</strong>ized<br />
family housing to encourage<br />
energy conserv<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
• DoN implemented a pilot program<br />
in Hawaii in 2010.<br />
• RECP focuses on reducing electricity<br />
and gas usage.<br />

NASPNCLAINST 5560.5, “driving a vehicle without<br />
safety belts fastened” will get the driver three points;<br />
conviction <strong>of</strong> “driving while using a cellular phone to<br />
include speaking or texting without a hand-free set”<br />
will result in suspension <strong>of</strong> base driving privilege for<br />
30 days.<br />
As we head into Memorial Day weekend, make safety<br />
belt use part <strong>of</strong> your daily plan – every day. And<br />
while cell phones are a part <strong>of</strong> life, bear in mind talking<br />
and driving could cost you more than roaming charges,<br />
especially on base.<br />

NASP children w<strong>at</strong>ch eggs h<strong>at</strong>ch to learn about chickens<br />
From the Fred G. Smalley<br />
Youth Center<br />
The 4-H animal club <strong>at</strong><br />
the Fred G. Smalley Youth<br />
Center aboard NAS<br />
Pensacola embarked on a<br />
chicken embryology project<br />
in March. The club<br />
leader, Delicia St. Jock,<br />
was able to get 12 fertilized<br />
white-bearded silkie<br />
eggs from Carter’s Legacy<br />
Farm in Loxely, Ala.<br />
St. Jock and the children<br />
<strong>at</strong> the Youth Center<br />
ensured th<strong>at</strong> the eggs<br />
were turned three times<br />
per day and th<strong>at</strong> the<br />
humidity and temper<strong>at</strong>ure<br />
was maintained in the<br />
still-air incub<strong>at</strong>or. The<br />
children had to count<br />
down the days to see how<br />
many baby chicks would<br />
h<strong>at</strong>ch. It takes an average<br />
<strong>of</strong> 21 days <strong>of</strong> incub<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
Every day they would<br />
help to turn the eggs and<br />
would look <strong>at</strong> the chicken<br />
embryology poster to see<br />
wh<strong>at</strong> stage <strong>of</strong> the development<br />
process the<br />
chicks were in.<br />
After about seven<br />
days <strong>of</strong> incub<strong>at</strong>ing the<br />
eggs, the 4-H animal<br />
club candled the eggs to<br />
see how they were<br />
developing. Candling is<br />
a process where you<br />
hold a bright light near<br />
the egg in a dark room in<br />
order to see the contents<br />
<strong>of</strong> the egg. The children<br />
were very excited to see<br />
the development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
chicken embryo inside<br />
<strong>of</strong> the egg. They could<br />
clearly see the blood<br />

vessels and could even<br />
see the eyes.<br />
The first chick arrived<br />
on day 20 <strong>of</strong> the countdown.<br />
The children were<br />
thrilled but also were<br />
surprised to see a wet<br />
and slimy chick instead<br />
<strong>of</strong> a cute and fluffy one.<br />
St. Jock explained th<strong>at</strong><br />
the chicks fe<strong>at</strong>hers needed<br />
to dry out and th<strong>at</strong> is<br />
why the incub<strong>at</strong>or could<br />
not be opened until all<br />
the chicks were dry. On<br />
h<strong>at</strong>ch day, day 21, the<br />
children and St. Jock<br />
went to check how many<br />
chicks had h<strong>at</strong>ched over<br />
night. Five chicks had<br />
h<strong>at</strong>ched. The children<br />
also got to w<strong>at</strong>ch two<br />
chicks h<strong>at</strong>ch.<br />
They were amazed to<br />
see all <strong>of</strong> their hard work<br />
<strong>of</strong> gently turning the<br />
eggs coming to fruition,<br />
St. Jock said.<br />
By the end <strong>of</strong> h<strong>at</strong>ch<br />
day, there were 11 total<br />
chicks out <strong>of</strong> the 12<br />
eggs. Only one egg had<br />

not h<strong>at</strong>ched by the end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the day.<br />
“The 4-H animal club<br />
was faced with the decision,<br />
if they should open<br />
the incub<strong>at</strong>or to get the<br />
other chicks out or wait<br />
and see if the one egg<br />
would h<strong>at</strong>ch,” said St.<br />
Jock. “All 11 other<br />
chicks were dry, so we<br />
made the decision to<br />
move the chicks to their<br />
brooder box.”<br />
The brooder box was<br />
a plastic tub filled with<br />
pine chips, food and<br />
w<strong>at</strong>er dishes and a he<strong>at</strong>ing<br />
lamp.<br />
“As soon as the chicks<br />
were put in the brooder<br />
box, they started to<br />
feast,” St. Jock said.<br />
“They were hungry after<br />
the long process <strong>of</strong><br />
working their way out <strong>of</strong><br />
the shell.”<br />
The 12th egg didn’t<br />
h<strong>at</strong>ch and the children<br />
wanted to know why.<br />
On the 24th day, three<br />
days after h<strong>at</strong>ch day,<br />
they decided to open the<br />
egg. They found a fully<br />
developed chick th<strong>at</strong><br />
had died.<br />
St. Jock said the children<br />
decided to hold a<br />
funeral for the chick.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the children<br />
became emotional and<br />
had many questions as<br />
they buried the baby<br />
chick.<br />
The other 11 chicks<br />
thrived and developed<br />
rapidly. The children<br />
were able to hold them<br />
and play with them.<br />
Each week when 4-H<br />
animal club met, the<br />
children were able to see<br />
new development on the<br />
chicks. The club kept the<br />
chicks for three weeks.<br />
Then it was time to say<br />
good-bye as the chicks<br />
were ready to go to their<br />
new homes.<br />
“The children held<br />
them for the last time<br />
and did not want the<br />
chicks to go,” St. Jock<br />
said.<br />
St. Jock said the project<br />
taught the children<br />
the valuable lessons <strong>of</strong><br />
animal care and the<br />
fragility <strong>of</strong> life.<br />

Midway: A pre-b<strong>at</strong>tle chronology<br />
By Lt. j.g. Tim Mosso<br />
NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs<br />
June 4, 2012, marks the 70th anniversary <strong>of</strong><br />
first day <strong>of</strong> the B<strong>at</strong>tle <strong>of</strong> Midway. The<br />
three-day World War II engagement<br />
between the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Midway<br />
invasion force and the United St<strong>at</strong>es Pacific Fleet<br />
serves as a lasting testament to the sacrifices <strong>of</strong><br />
the American servicemen who earned victory.<br />
The sequence <strong>of</strong> events in the build-up<br />
to the b<strong>at</strong>tle illustr<strong>at</strong>es enduring lessons<br />
including the value <strong>of</strong> shared sacrifice,<br />
advance planning and flexible forces in<br />
successful military enterprise. The comb<strong>at</strong>ants,<br />
planners and civilian workers<br />
whose efforts culmin<strong>at</strong>ed in the successful<br />
defense <strong>of</strong> Midway overcame incomplete<br />
inform<strong>at</strong>ion, a formidable enemy and<br />
severe time constraints.<br />
From the onset <strong>of</strong> war, Japanese Navy<br />
leaders, led by Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto,<br />
understood th<strong>at</strong> resource-poor Japan<br />
needed to secure rapid victories and establish<br />
a defensive barrier before the<br />
resource-rich United St<strong>at</strong>es and its Allies<br />
could regroup. Japan could not win a protracted<br />
b<strong>at</strong>tle <strong>of</strong> <strong>at</strong>trition without conquering<br />
a permanent network <strong>of</strong> forward bases<br />
and n<strong>at</strong>ural resource caches.<br />
On April 6, 1942, the USS Hornet (CV<br />
8) launched a raiding force <strong>of</strong> U.S. Army<br />
Air Force B-25 Mitchell bombers against<br />
targets in mainland Japan. The strike, led<br />
by Lt. Col. James Doolittle, was designed<br />
principally to boost U.S. morale, and it<br />
caused little m<strong>at</strong>erial damage, but the psychological<br />
impact on Japan’s leadership<br />
was pr<strong>of</strong>ound.<br />
Japanese planners, heret<strong>of</strong>ore confident<br />
<strong>of</strong> the security <strong>of</strong> their home islands, were<br />
forced to reconsider their decision to prioritize<br />
expansion in the South Pacific.<br />
Hornet’s uncontested <strong>at</strong>tack on the<br />
Japanese islands proved th<strong>at</strong> American<br />
naval power remained capable <strong>of</strong> conducting<br />
<strong>of</strong>fensive oper<strong>at</strong>ions from U.S.<br />
bases to the east. Imperial leadership<br />
began to consider acceler<strong>at</strong>ing its plans for<br />
a drive to the east.<br />
In many respects, the May 4-8, 1942,<br />
B<strong>at</strong>tle <strong>of</strong> the Coral Sea can be considered<br />
the dress rehearsal for Midway. Both b<strong>at</strong>tles<br />
involved U.S. Navy efforts to blunt<br />
Japan’s drive to consolid<strong>at</strong>e a buffer zone<br />
and war-critical resources.<br />
At Coral Sea, Japan’s primary goal was<br />
to take control <strong>of</strong> New Guinea’s Port<br />
Moresby. The small but vital port represented<br />
a staging point th<strong>at</strong> could be used<br />
as a forward base for resupply <strong>of</strong> Japan’s<br />
South Pacific forces with the ultim<strong>at</strong>e goal<br />
<strong>of</strong> cre<strong>at</strong>ing a permanent western defensive<br />
screen against Australia and British forces<br />
in India.<br />
The B<strong>at</strong>tle <strong>of</strong> the Coral Sea produced<br />
two significant outcomes. Tactically, the<br />
b<strong>at</strong>tle valid<strong>at</strong>ed naval avi<strong>at</strong>ion as an interfleet<br />
comb<strong>at</strong> tool. Prior to Coral Sea, aircraft<br />
carriers had launched successful<br />
large-scale strikes <strong>at</strong> anchored vessels and<br />
isol<strong>at</strong>ed ships under way. However,<br />
doubts remained about the carrier’s utility<br />
against fully-screened maneuvering targets<br />
in open w<strong>at</strong>ers. Pre-war aircraft carrier<br />
doctrine had emphasized the carrier’s<br />
role as a scouting tool and b<strong>at</strong>tleships<br />
were expected to act as the principal comb<strong>at</strong>ants<br />
during a fleet action.<br />
At Coral Sea, each n<strong>at</strong>ion’s carrierbased<br />
aircraft struck the decisive blows.<br />
Moreover, the b<strong>at</strong>tle represented history’s<br />
first large-scale fleet action in which the<br />
capital ships <strong>of</strong> each belligerent never<br />
sighted each other. The destruction <strong>of</strong> U.S.<br />
Pacific b<strong>at</strong>tleships <strong>at</strong> Pearl Harbor had<br />
forced Navy leadership to plan a the<strong>at</strong>er<br />
defense str<strong>at</strong>egy <strong>center</strong>ed on the surviving<br />
aircraft carriers, all <strong>of</strong> which were absent<br />
from Hawaii during the surprise <strong>at</strong>tack.<br />
While Pearl Harbor had thrust naval<br />
avi<strong>at</strong>ion to the forefront <strong>of</strong> U.S. Pacific<br />
defense str<strong>at</strong>egy by default, Coral Sea<br />
proved th<strong>at</strong> aircraft carriers were now the<br />
weapons <strong>of</strong> choice for open-ocean comb<strong>at</strong>.<br />
U.S. naval avi<strong>at</strong>ors, support crews<br />
and ship handlers gained valuable experience<br />
in conducting carrier fleet actions,<br />
and Navy leaders were able to glean lessons<br />
concerning the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> carrier<br />
assaults in open w<strong>at</strong>ers.<br />
The second consequence <strong>of</strong> the B<strong>at</strong>tle<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Coral Sea was the disruption <strong>of</strong> the<br />
integr<strong>at</strong>ed Japanese war plan. For the first<br />
time since its <strong>at</strong>tack on Pearl Harbor, a<br />
major Imperial Japanese Navy <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />
had been blunted. Port Moresby remained<br />
in Allied hands, and Coral Sea again reinforced<br />
Japan’s growing realiz<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong><br />
U.S. naval forces remained a potent thre<strong>at</strong><br />
from the Eastern Pacific. Imperial planning<br />
for an eastern <strong>of</strong>fensive, already<br />
acceler<strong>at</strong>ed by the Doolittle raid, became<br />
a top priority <strong>of</strong> Japan’s top military leaders.<br />
U.S. naval intelligence oper<strong>at</strong>ions were<br />
making cryptographic breakthroughs concurrent<br />
with the Doolittle and Coral Sea<br />
oper<strong>at</strong>ions. The Navy Radio Intelligence<br />
Unit was making meaningful headway<br />
toward breaking Japan’s military communic<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
code, dubbed “JN-25.” Despite<br />
setbacks resulting from the loss <strong>of</strong> several<br />
Western Pacific st<strong>at</strong>ions to the Japanese<br />
advance, Navy intelligence reached a<br />
level <strong>of</strong> competence with the Japanese<br />
cipher on the eve <strong>of</strong> the Port Moresby<br />
invasion <strong>at</strong>tempt.<br />
Prior to the engagements in the Coral<br />
Sea, U.S. cryptographers were able to<br />
establish the fundamentals <strong>of</strong> JN-25.<br />
When Japanese amphibious forces – supported<br />
by aircraft carriers – moved against<br />
Tulagi and Port Morsby, the Navy’s<br />
USS Yorktown (CV 5) is seen in drydock <strong>at</strong> Pearl Harbor in May, 1942. Yorktown’s b<strong>at</strong>tle<br />
damage from the b<strong>at</strong>tle <strong>of</strong> Coral Sea was repaired quickly in order to make the muchneeded<br />
ship available <strong>at</strong> Midway. Photo courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command<br />
defensive force was in place and ready to<br />
respond. For the first time since Pearl<br />
Harbor, the Navy was able to anticip<strong>at</strong>e<br />
and pre-position itself to counter effectively<br />
a major Japanese <strong>of</strong>fensive.<br />
Although the American naval intelligence<br />
was able to interpret most components<br />
<strong>of</strong> JN-25 by March <strong>of</strong> 1942, the<br />
individual codenames <strong>of</strong> Japan’s targets<br />
represented a code-within-a-code.<br />
Japanese planners guarded against codebreakers<br />
by assigning arbitrary alphanumeric<br />
design<strong>at</strong>ors to loc<strong>at</strong>ions and<br />
install<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> interest. U.S. cryptographers<br />
could decode JN-25 transmissions<br />
only to learn th<strong>at</strong> nondescript entities such<br />
as “RXL” or “AF” were being targeted.<br />
During the spring <strong>of</strong> 1942, discussion<br />
<strong>of</strong> “AF” in particular began to flood<br />
Japanese radio transmissions. Through<br />
deductive logic, the Navy was able to discern<br />
the identity <strong>of</strong> this loc<strong>at</strong>ion. Navy<br />
authorities believed th<strong>at</strong> Imperial planners<br />
were likely to set their sights on Midway,<br />
a key U.S. staging point <strong>at</strong> the extreme<br />
southwestern end <strong>of</strong> the Hawaiian island<br />
chain.<br />
U.S. signal intelligence <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />
launched a ploy to positively identify<br />
“AF.” Midway was ordered to send an<br />
unencrypted emergency transmission<br />
declaring th<strong>at</strong> the w<strong>at</strong>er purific<strong>at</strong>ion system<br />
had failed, and the base possessed<br />
only a two-day supply. Following the<br />
broadcast, JN-25 traffic to Imperial leadership<br />
revealed th<strong>at</strong> “AF” was experiencing<br />
technical difficulties. Subsequent<br />
messages concerning force projection<br />
against “AF” included important details<br />
<strong>of</strong> an upcoming Japanese invasion plan.<br />
Thus informed, Navy leaders were able to<br />
position a three-carrier force for<br />
Midway’s defense.<br />
However, one <strong>of</strong> those three aircraft<br />
carriers, the USS Yorktown, almost failed<br />
to achieve comb<strong>at</strong> readiness in time for<br />
b<strong>at</strong>tle. The American str<strong>at</strong>egic victory in<br />
the Coral Sea was purchased <strong>at</strong> a dear<br />
cost. The Navy lost the USS Lexington,<br />
one <strong>of</strong> its most powerful carriers, and<br />
Japanese carrier aircraft inflicted massive<br />
damage on the USS Yorktown.<br />
The fire, w<strong>at</strong>er and structural damage<br />
to the Yorktown was sufficient to have<br />
required several months to repair under<br />
peacetime conditions. Given the exigencies<br />
<strong>of</strong> war, a reasonable turnaround for<br />
redeployment <strong>of</strong> the Yorktown could have<br />
encompassed several weeks. Faced with<br />
an imminent Japanese <strong>of</strong>fensive against<br />
Midway, American Navy and civilian personnel<br />
<strong>at</strong> Pearl Harbor made the<br />
Yorktown ready for b<strong>at</strong>tle within three<br />
days <strong>of</strong> her return from the Coral Sea. As<br />
the Yorktown sortied from Hawaii, many<br />
civilian yard employees were completing<br />
the final makeshift repairs, and they only<br />
left the ship after it departed U.S. w<strong>at</strong>ers.<br />
Although a historical footnote compared<br />
to the momentous events in the<br />
Coral Sea and the Navy breakthrough<br />
against JN-25, the repair <strong>of</strong> the Yorktown<br />
is emblem<strong>at</strong>ic <strong>of</strong> the indomitable spirit<br />
th<strong>at</strong> primed U.S. forces for victory <strong>at</strong><br />
Midway. The ability to overcome long<br />
odds, resourceful use <strong>of</strong> time and tools,<br />
and the vital contributions <strong>of</strong> home-front<br />
civilians embody the total war effort th<strong>at</strong><br />
sustained Americans through the early<br />
months <strong>of</strong> World War II.<br />
The first week <strong>of</strong> June 2012 will witness<br />
a series <strong>of</strong> commemor<strong>at</strong>ive ceremonies<br />
as U.S Sailors and Marines<br />
around the world honor the sacrifices <strong>of</strong><br />
their forebearers and recognize the lasting<br />
relevance <strong>of</strong> Midway’s outcome to the<br />
modern armed forces.<br />
The Center for Inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Dominance and Naval Air St<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Whiting Field is inviting members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
public to join them as they pay tribute to<br />
the heroes <strong>of</strong> Midway <strong>at</strong> the N<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Naval Avi<strong>at</strong>ion Museum aboard Naval<br />
Air St<strong>at</strong>ion Pensacola. The ceremony will<br />
be held in the museum’s <strong>at</strong>rium from 10<br />
to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 5.<br />
Highlights <strong>of</strong> the event will include a<br />
wre<strong>at</strong>h-laying, a flyover by Training Air<br />
Wing Six aircraft and a keynote address<br />
by Rear Adm. Donald Quinn,<br />
Commander, Naval Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and<br />

sailors from Estonia, Namibia,<br />
Taiwan and Saudi Arabia gradu<strong>at</strong>ed<br />
from the Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Enlisted Leadership<br />
(IPEL) course during a ceremony<br />
held onboard NAS Pensacola<br />
recently.<br />
It is the first time th<strong>at</strong> U.S.<br />
Sailors, detailed to Naval<br />
Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training<br />
Command Security Assistance<br />
Field Activity (NETSAFA)<br />
Intern<strong>at</strong>ional Training Center<br />
(NITC) as instructors, took the<br />
course as students beside their<br />
intern<strong>at</strong>ional peers. Their <strong>at</strong>tendance<br />
was designed to give them<br />
the perspective needed to enhance<br />
their ability to teach the course.<br />
“NITC recently had four<br />
active-duty Sailors detailed to the<br />
schoolhouse as instructors. Their<br />
billets were cre<strong>at</strong>ed specifically<br />
for the course to augment NITC’s<br />
contracted civilian instructors.<br />
The IPEL course will benefit<br />
from the team concept <strong>of</strong> retired<br />
enlisted Sailors and Marines<br />
teaching alongside their activeduty<br />
counterparts. The extensive<br />
leadership experience <strong>of</strong> both<br />
groups will combine academic<br />
knowledge with up-to-d<strong>at</strong>e deckpl<strong>at</strong>e<br />
realities,” said Cmdr.<br />
Christopher Heaney, NITC’s <strong>of</strong>ficer<br />
in charge. “The true winners<br />
will be our intern<strong>at</strong>ional military<br />
students who will be immersed in<br />
concepts <strong>of</strong> leadership and how<br />
the Department <strong>of</strong> the Navy values<br />
its enlisted leaders.”<br />
Under the Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
AMC Keith Tourney (left) and AE1 James Ridgeway (second from left) work with intern<strong>at</strong>ional students<br />
to overcome an obstacle <strong>at</strong> the Leadership Reaction Course onboard NASP. It is the first time th<strong>at</strong> U.S.<br />
Sailors, detailed to NITC as instructors, took part in the course as students with their intern<strong>at</strong>ional peers.<br />
Maritime Enlisted Leadership and<br />
Development Assistance (IMEL-<br />
DA) program, NITC designed the<br />
IPEL course. It first convened in<br />
the spring <strong>of</strong> 2009. Since then,<br />
NITC has gradu<strong>at</strong>ed more than 70<br />
students from 24 n<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
“In the the Chief <strong>of</strong> Naval<br />
Oper<strong>at</strong>ions (CNO) Sailor directions,<br />
he speaks about building<br />
and strengthening our partnerships<br />
and alliances where sea<br />
lanes, resources and vital U.S.<br />
interests intersect. Th<strong>at</strong> is wh<strong>at</strong> the<br />
staff here <strong>at</strong> NITC do, and wh<strong>at</strong><br />
this course is all about. The<br />
United St<strong>at</strong>es Navy developed a<br />
multifaceted program <strong>of</strong> educ<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />
training, exercises and assist<br />
visits,” said Paul J. McHenry,<br />
NITC’s deputy <strong>of</strong>ficer in charge.<br />
“NETSAFA cre<strong>at</strong>ed IMELDA to<br />
assist partner countries in developing<br />
and maintaining a corps <strong>of</strong><br />
highly pr<strong>of</strong>essional, superbly<br />
trained, and dynamic enlisted<br />
leaders.”<br />
Because <strong>of</strong> the numerous<br />
requests from various n<strong>at</strong>ions,<br />
NITC also <strong>of</strong>fers a newly cre<strong>at</strong>ed<br />
leadership course for junior <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />
called Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Advanced<br />
Leadership (IPAL), which builds<br />
on the success <strong>of</strong> IPEL.<br />
“Using the lessons learned<br />
from the IPEL experience, IPAL<br />
will take leadership training and<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional development to the<br />
next level,” said McHenry. “The<br />
excellent training techniques<br />
combined with cutting-edge<br />
course curriculum will prepare<br />
today’s intern<strong>at</strong>ional enlisted and<br />
junior <strong>of</strong>ficer leaders for an<br />
expanded role in the complex and<br />
rapidly evolving military oper<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
taking place around the<br />
world, and <strong>at</strong> the same time<br />
improve particip<strong>at</strong>ing countries’<br />
interoperability with the United<br />
St<strong>at</strong>es and other partner n<strong>at</strong>ions.”<br />
The five-week course is taught<br />
onboard NASP <strong>at</strong> the<br />
NETSAFA’s Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Training Center. During their stay,<br />
the students are immersed in the<br />
principals <strong>of</strong> military leadership,<br />
personality and human behavior,<br />
communic<strong>at</strong>ions, teamwork, the<br />
legal aspects <strong>of</strong> military oper<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
and decision-making in an<br />
oper<strong>at</strong>ional environment.<br />
The course isn’t taught entirely<br />
in the classroom. Between lectures<br />
on leadership, decision making,<br />
intern<strong>at</strong>ional affairs, legal issues<br />
and understanding people better,<br />
the students were also given the<br />
opportunity to learn more about the<br />
United St<strong>at</strong>es and the American<br />
way <strong>of</strong> life by taking field trips to<br />
the USS Alabama (BB 60); viewing<br />
a Blue Angels practice; touring<br />
the N<strong>at</strong>ional Naval Avi<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Museum; and taking a historical<br />
tour <strong>of</strong> St. Augustine.<br />
The students also practiced<br />
teamwork and team-building<br />
skills on NASP’s leadership reaction<br />
course (LRC). Throughout<br />
the IPEL course, students were<br />
challenged to work together to<br />
overcome obstacles <strong>at</strong> the LRC.<br />
“IPEL is all about leadership<br />
and team building. We have students<br />
from all around the world<br />
and we learn from them, just as<br />
they learn from us,” said instructor<br />
Tim Fox.<br />
IMELDA is an enlisted educ<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
initi<strong>at</strong>ive th<strong>at</strong> helps enable<br />
n<strong>at</strong>ions to strengthen their interoperability<br />

Santa Rosa County hosts annual Military Apprecit<strong>at</strong>ion Picnic <strong>at</strong> NASWF<br />
food. As in years past, Santa Rosa<br />
Medical Center provided the food<br />
for the event with members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s<br />
Office volunteering to serve as the<br />
chefs. Volunteers from Covenant<br />
Hospice even agreed to serve the<br />
food to the service members.<br />
Kelly appreci<strong>at</strong>ed all the support.<br />
“I would like to thank all the<br />
community volunteers. They really<br />
stepped up to take care <strong>of</strong> our military<br />
folks,” she said.<br />
The people who <strong>at</strong>tended the<br />
picnic seconded th<strong>at</strong> sentiment.<br />
MA1 Kenneth Pr<strong>at</strong>t’s family, wife,<br />
Sarah, and kids, Gracie, 4, and<br />
Carleigh, 2; <strong>at</strong>tended the picnic.<br />
The two girls enjoyed their afternoon<br />
with the games and the<br />
bouncy houses, but they especially<br />
enjoyed the petting zoo – chasing<br />
and petting the ducks and<br />
chickens. MA1 Pr<strong>at</strong>t praised the<br />
coordin<strong>at</strong>ors’ efforts in improving<br />
on an already popular event.<br />
“My wife said the event was<br />
even better than last year’s,” he<br />
said. “I went to Pen Air just to<br />
thank them for everything they<br />
did and for coordin<strong>at</strong>ing all the<br />
prizes, vendors and especially all<br />
the volunteers who did the work.<br />
It was a nice day for all the military<br />
guys to take it easy and have<br />
a really gre<strong>at</strong> day <strong>of</strong> fun.”<br />
The picnic was capped <strong>of</strong>f with<br />
a concert by Pensacola-based<br />
cover band Superheroes. The<br />
group played two short sets as<br />
alter-egos Doug Driggers, Austin<br />
Ingerman, Eric Mazzone, M<strong>at</strong>t<br />
McKinney and Sean Phillips, but<br />
played the final hour <strong>of</strong> the show<br />
as Flash, Robin, Green Lantern,<br />
Superman and B<strong>at</strong>man. The band<br />
played a variety <strong>of</strong> classic rock<br />
tunes ranging from “I Love Rock<br />
’N’ Roll” to “Crazy Train.” As<br />
much as the picnickers enjoyed<br />
having the group play, the band<br />
liked being part <strong>of</strong> a military<br />
event.<br />
“It was a no-brainer for us to<br />
come. We dedic<strong>at</strong>e a song to the<br />
military every show. We really<br />
respect our military,” lead vocalist<br />
Driggers st<strong>at</strong>ed. “Like we say on<br />
stage, ‘they are the real heroes.’ ”<br />

With a bright, sunlit day, children<br />
dancing and smiling, abundant<br />
food and lots <strong>of</strong> games and<br />
prizes, Naval Air St<strong>at</strong>ion Whiting<br />
Field was a happy place May 18 as<br />
the Santa Rosa County community<br />
hosted its Military Appreci<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Picnic. More than 100 sponsors,<br />
businesses and community volunteers<br />
combined to help make the<br />
annual event <strong>at</strong> the base a memorable<br />
affair.<br />
May is Military Appreci<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Month and each year residents <strong>of</strong><br />
Santa Rosa County come out in<br />
force to show their appreci<strong>at</strong>ion for<br />
the area military, retirees, government<br />
employees and their families.<br />
“We have a passion for the military<br />
here,” said Krystal Kelly, a<br />
Pen Air Federal Credit Union<br />
employee who served as the coordin<strong>at</strong>or<br />
for this year’s festivities.<br />
“They take care <strong>of</strong> our country, and<br />
this is our chance to do something<br />
for them. I truly don’t know <strong>of</strong> a<br />
better base where the military and<br />
the community are knitted together<br />
so tightly.”<br />
With estim<strong>at</strong>es <strong>of</strong> more than<br />
1,500 people <strong>at</strong>tending, the picnic<br />
was the biggest yet. The NAS<br />
Whiting Field sports complex was<br />
filled with vendor tents, infl<strong>at</strong>able<br />
games for the kids, a project area, a<br />
petting zoo and <strong>of</strong> course, lots <strong>of</strong><br />

“However, coastal<br />

they need to prepare the<br />

“The probability <strong>of</strong><br />

“Everybody needs to<br />
prepare,” Fenters said.<br />
“Prepare, prepare, prepare.<br />
Early indic<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
are th<strong>at</strong> it’s going to be<br />
an below-average season,<br />

because we’ve had<br />
above average seasons<br />
for the last couple <strong>of</strong><br />
years, and the scary part<br />
is th<strong>at</strong> people equ<strong>at</strong>e<br />
average season to ‘I<br />
don’t need to be as well<br />
prepared’,” Fenters said.<br />
“Th<strong>at</strong> concerns me.<br />
“Just because it’s an<br />

– one storm makes it<br />

“It doesn’t take but one<br />

Summer concerts<br />
in the park have<br />
been a tradition<br />
for 25 years<br />
From Pensacola Heritage Found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Evenings in Olde Seville draws<br />
about 10,000 people to<br />
downtown Pensacola<br />
for free concerts every<br />
Thursday.<br />
The Pensacola<br />
Heritage<br />
Found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
started presenting<br />
the summer<br />
concert<br />
series 25 years<br />
ago.<br />
This year’s<br />
series started<br />
May 17 and<br />
will fe<strong>at</strong>ure 12<br />
concerts instead<br />
<strong>of</strong> the usual 14.<br />
The final concert is<br />
scheduled for Aug. 2. The concerts<br />
fe<strong>at</strong>ure a variety <strong>of</strong> music ranging<br />
from jazz and country to rock ’n’<br />
roll, big band, easy listening and<br />
reggae.<br />
But this could be the last year for<br />
the concerts.<br />
Officials <strong>at</strong> the found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
recently announced th<strong>at</strong> this will be<br />
the last year th<strong>at</strong> the found<strong>at</strong>ion will<br />
present Evenings in Olde Seville<br />
because the project has gotten so<br />
big th<strong>at</strong> it is keeping them from<br />
their primary mission <strong>of</strong> preserving<br />
historic sites. Officials are hoping<br />
th<strong>at</strong> another group will come forward<br />
to assume the responsibility<br />
for the popular concert series,<br />
which costs $50,000 to $60,000 a<br />
year.<br />
The found<strong>at</strong>ion was established<br />
in 1964 by Mary Turner Rule. It is<br />
affili<strong>at</strong>ed with the n<strong>at</strong>ional and<br />
Florida trusts for historic preserv<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
It is the oldest historic preserv<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
organiz<strong>at</strong>ion in the<br />
Pensacola area and it<br />
continues to pursue<br />
its mission <strong>of</strong><br />
preserving and<br />
protecting<br />
Pensacola’s<br />
rich history<br />
through<br />
restor<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
work, educ<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
programs<br />
and community<br />
activities.<br />
The found<strong>at</strong>ion’s<br />
first project<br />
was to restore a<br />
dilapid<strong>at</strong>ed home in<br />
downtown Pensacola to its<br />
original condition. Th<strong>at</strong> was the<br />
Dorr House, which is loc<strong>at</strong>ed on<br />
Seville Square. The found<strong>at</strong>ion was<br />
also involved in the restor<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong><br />
Seville Square and undertook the<br />
restor<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> the Barkley House,<br />
which was its headquarters for more<br />
than 15 years.<br />
The found<strong>at</strong>ion also hosts the<br />
ReDiscovery Lecture series fe<strong>at</strong>uring<br />
John Appleyard. All topics<br />
focus on Pensacola’s past, present<br />
and future.<br />
