USNS Comfort experience defined by ‘people of Haiti’ 

By Rod Duren 

NHP PAO 

Over the past month, there’s been 

much trauma and sadness for the 

hospital ship USNS Comfort 

crew, but Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP)- 

based Navy nurse Lt. Kenneth Cole says it 

will be the “people of Haiti” who will 

define his experience during Operation 

Unified Response. 

started singing quietly. Within 

minutes, 40-plus children, and 

escorts, were singing hymns 

and spirituals together. 

“Forgotten was the pain of 

missing limbs, open wounds or 

lost family. Forgotten was the 

exhaustion and weariness that 

had been weighing us down,” 

he reflected. 

See NHP/Comfort on page 2 

The Women and Children’s 

Department nurse at NHP is 

among 35 of the medical facility’s 

staff serving onboard the 

Baltimore, Md.-based hospital 

ship currently moored two 

miles off the coast of Port-au- 

Prince. 

“My experience has been 

defined by the people of Haiti,” 

Lt. Cole sent in a Feb. 9 e-mail 

to the hospital, “especially the 

little kids who have experienced 

so much pain and sorrow.

As Master Chief Petty 

Officer of the Navy 

(MCPON) Rick West 

recently said, the U.S. 

Navy has progressed significantly 

during the past 

50 years. “Shifting missions 

and technology 

have changed much of 

what we do and prompted 

us to change, merge or 

establish new ratings,” 

he explained. “The content 

of our advancement 

exams has had to move 

at precisely the same 

pace.” 

The Navy 

Advancement Center 

(NAC) – developers of 

the Navy’s enlisted 

advancement exams – 

“Yet these children are quick 

to smile or laugh,” he said. 

“These children take such 

delight in coloring books, a 

peanut-butter sandwich or an 

apple. Their courage and 

strength amidst this tragedy is 

what I’ll remember.” 

Lt. Cole, a native of Muncie, 

Ind., is assigned to the “3 

FWD” Pediatrics clinic 

onboard USNS Comfort. 

“I’ll forever remember the 

evening when a couple mothers 

phased out resident exam 

writers in 2004, and transitioned 

to the current 

exam development 

model using fleet subject 

matter experts (FSME). 

For more than 50 

years, resident senior 

enlisted exam writers 

developed the exams. 

Today the NAC brings in 

six FSME chief petty 

officers for two-week 

Advancement Exam

Conferences (AEDC) 

held for each enlisted rating.

CID’s CLREC prepares Sailors for Haiti response 

From Center for Information Dominance 

Public Affairs 

In response to the earthquake in Haiti, 

the Center for Language, Regional 

Expertise and Culture (CLREC) at the 

Center for Information Dominance 

(CID) Corry Station in Pensacola immediately 

delivered training products on 

Haitian culture and in the French and 

Haitian-Creole languages to Haiti-bound 

Sailors and Marines. 

Operational Cultural Awareness 

Training (OCAT) materials were delivered 

to the Sailors and Marines. 

The OCAT includes information 

about the nation and its people including 

geography, history, peoples and ethnic 

groups, language, religious influences, 

society and norms, behavior and etiquette, 

and a cultural summary.

A savings and investing workshop 

and a financial game show 

with prizes will be part of this 

year’s Military Saves Week 

onboard Naval Air Station 

Pensacola. 

“The goal of the week is to just 

promote savings,” said Angela 

Smith, a personal financial management 

specialist with the Fleet 

and Family Support Center at 

NASP. “Very few people are saving.” 

The trying economy makes it 

harder, Smith acknowledged. “But 

it’s still important to pay ourselves 

first,” she said. “Once you start 

saving it will create the probability 

of being debt free. You really have 

to save to be financially stable.” 

Military Saves Week is held the 

week of Feb. 21-28 for all branches 

of the military. “… In ensuring 

our service and family members 

are financially ready, they will also 

be mission ready, enabling commanders 

to support both current 

and future military operations,” 

norms of foreign cultures,” CLREC 

Director Christopher Wise said. 

“Culturally competent Sailors experience 

less culture shock, operate more 

effectively and are better ambassadors of 

our Navy and nation.” 

Wise explained that due to the rapid 

nature of the Unified Response deployments, 

Sailors had to review the CLREC 

training materials en route to the disaster 

zone. 

“While face-to-face training is always 

best where culture and language are concerned, 

there is not always sufficient 

time to train, but we’ve structured our 

OCATs so they’re easy to use in shipboard 

environments as general military 

training presentations broadcast over the 

ship's closed circuit television system,” 

Wise said. 

Since its inception in 2007, the personnel 

at CLREC have been diligently 

expanding and updating their library of 

training materials for hundreds of coun-

Military Saves Week 

activities at NASP 

Angela Smith 

said Deputy Under Secretary of 

Defense Tommy T. Thomas in a 

memo sent earlier this month to all 

branches. 

Smith said it’s important for all 

military members, including 

young Sailors and Marines just 

starting their careers, to start saving. 

The recommended formula to 

be financially stable is to apply 70 

percent of a person’s income for 

living expenses, 20 percent for 

debt and 10 percent for savings, 

she said. 

Sailors who are living in the barracks 

on the base have a good 

opportunity for reducing their debt 

and increasing their savings, she 

said. 

“The average Sailor new to the 

Navy has no concept of savings or 

consumer issues and is really set 

up to be ripped off,” Smith said.

our exam banks,” explained Patricia Gibson, a NAC exam 

development branch head for aviation ratings. 

Chief petty officers who attend AEDCs are pushed to 

achieve a very aggressive schedule to update 5,000 or more 

questions for each rating, as well as plan and produce quality 

exams to help the Navy accurately rank-order qualified 

candidates for advancement. 

“I was very surprised that the Navy Advancement Center 

actually lets the chiefs set up the exam,” said ASC(AW/SW) 

Patrick Cuda, assigned to MALS-24 in Kaneohe Bay, 

Hawaii. He was in Pensacola participating in his rating’s 

AEDC. 

Recently, the machinery repairman (MR) rating held their 

AEDC and worked hard to get the right mix of experienced 

chief petty officers to attend. “Repair procedures are different 

throughout the fleet, so you need a variety of experience,” 

said MRC(SW) Kirk Brocksomes, assigned to Naval 

Base Kitsap in Bangor, Wash. “I am a port operations and 

small craft guy, but we also have carrier and repair facility 

FSMEs represented in our group.” FSMEs from the MR 

‘A’ and ‘C’ schools also attended the AEDC. 

At each AEDC, the FSMEs prioritize rating topic areas 

and plan future exams. Valid exam content is established by 

ensuring each question is clearly tied to a current rating 

occupational standard, information garnered from the Navy 

Enlisted Occupational Classification System (NEOCS). 

These standards define minimum skill and knowledge 

requirements for enlisted personnel at each paygrade and 

within each career field. 

Exams are part of the advancement formula, called a final 

multiple score (FMS), for all fully qualified and promotioneligible 

Sailors. The E-4 through E-6 FMSs are derived 

from several factors including performance evaluations, 

current exam score, past exam performance, education 

level, length of service and awards. The FMS for first class 

petty officers eligible for promotion use only performance 

evaluations and current exam score. Promotions are based 

on vacancies, so the NAC’s ability to rank-order Sailors is 

central to the Navy’s enlisted advancement system. 

One big hurdle for the FSMEs is grasping a solid understanding 

of the Navy’s use of norm-referenced examinations. 

Most chiefs are familiar with criterion exams where 

test-takers are given a pass/fail letter grade, and the goal is 

to test the mastery of a subject. In contrast, a norm-reference 

exam is designed to create a statistical bell curve with the 

majority of the test scores falling somewhere in the center. 

This type of exam system allows candidates to be rankordered 

by comparing one Sailor’s exam score against the 

scores of all other Sailors in the same rating. 

FSMEs are challenged to write questions meeting the statistical 

standards of a norm-reference exam. Each question 

an FSME approves must do a good job of objectively 

assessing the application of rating-specific knowledge. 

Each question written by an FSME must be tied to a current 

reference accessible to all Sailors taking the exam. 

“Reference material is sometimes hard to find for specific 

questions, particularly for the new equipment that is currently 

being used in the fleet,” said ASC(AW/SW) Kevin 

Harpham, stationed at the Fleet Readiness Center in 

Norfolk, Va. Harpham recently attended the aviation support 

equipment technician rating AEDC. His group updated 

exam banks, but struggled to find reference material for 

some new equipment. 

As questions are loaded into an exam, reference material 

is used to generate the exam bibliographies. Exam bibliographies 

are normally published six months before an 

exam is administered. Sailors can have confidence that their 

bibliography will provide all the material necessary to prepare 

for an upcoming exam. “If a Sailor has prepared, he or 

she will do well. If not, they understand exactly what they 

have to do to do better,” West said. 

As technology moves forward and Sailor’s jobs become 

more complex, the NAC continually looks for ways to 

increase the number of performance-oriented questions. 

Electronic delivery of advancement exams is certainly a 

goal. As technology evolves, the NAC is working with 

OPNAV N132 to outline policy changes to help establish an 

electronic exam administration system able to encompass 

all Navy ratings. 

Recently, the Air Force and Coast Guard traveled to 

Pensacola to study the Navy’s exam development process. 

The other services understand the value of bringing senior 

enlisted experts into the exam development process. The 

NAC has successfully conducted AEDCs for the past four 

years and continues to set the standard for fair, valid and statistically 

reliable advancement exams.

“At that time, all those present – 

patients, escorts and staff – bonded 

together as those with so little 

lifted up their voices and hands 

in praise to God. That evening 

made every hardship worth it for 

me.” 

In a blog from USNS Comfort 

CLREC from page 1 

tries so that Sailors and Marines would be better prepared 

for their duties, no matter where they deploy 

around the globe. 

“Fortunately, we had just updated our Haiti OCAT to 

this format,” Wise added. “So our information was current 

and timely.” 

Peter Christensen, CLREC desk officer, who, in addition 

to having North and South America within his area 

of responsibility, also covers the Caribbean Sea area. He 

estimated that two weeks into the relief effort, more than 

11,000 Sailors and Marines aboard 21 ships and other 

specialized units had been afforded access to the training 

materials. 

Among these were personnel from the USS Carl 

Vinson (CVN 70); the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T- 

AH 20), USS Nassau (LHD 4), USS Bataan (LHD 5), 

22nd and 24th Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) 22 and 

24 and other Navy and Military Sealift Command ships. 

“The rapid response of our Sailors – not only from 

CID, but across the Fleet – who selflessly volunteered to 

assist the citizens of Haiti following the Jan. 12 earthquake 

is nothing short of remarkable,” CID 

Commanding Officer Capt. Gary Edwards said. “I have 

never been more proud to be an American and a member 

of the United States Navy.” 

For its part, CLREC posted their OCAT for Haiti 

along with other briefs that would benefit responders 

including “How to Effectively Use an Interpreter” and 

“How to Effectively Use an Interpreter (for health care 

providers).” These materials have been downloaded 

numerous times both for presentation to large audiences

The workshops provided during 

Military Saves Week provides some 

of the pitfalls they may face. 

“Everybody is making money off 

us, we have to figure out how to 

keep the money,” she said. 

NASP has the following activities 

planned next week: 

• Savings and Investing 

Workshop, Feb. 22, 11:30 a.m.- 

12:30 p.m., Liberty Hall, Corry 

Station. 

• Savings and Investing 

Workshop, Feb. 24, 11:30 a.m.- 

12:30 p.m. at Portside, NASP. 

• Financial Game Show with 

prizes, Feb. 24, 5:30-7:30 p.m., 

Liberty Hall, Corry Station. 

• Developing a Spending Plan, 

Feb. 24, 9-11 a.m., Fleet and Family 

Support Center, NASP. 

• Financial Game Show with 

prizes, Feb. 25, 7-9 a.m., Portside, 

NASP. 

• Savings and Budgeting activity, 

Feb. 26, 7:30-8:30 a.m., Youth 

on Feb. 10, pediatric nurse, Capt. 

Norah Bertschy, not a member of 

the Pensacola contingent, wrote 

of the event: “We all bonded … 

We were one in spite of all the 

sorrow, sadness and weariness; 

we were united in our humanity 

and purpose. Each person was 

uplifted … We were all truly 

blessed to be a part of that precious 

moment and this mission.” 

Since Jan. 21, Comfort’s staff 

has treated 741 patients and performed 

644 surgeries. Five hundred 

twenty-four of these 

patients have already been discharged 

back to their homes, 

other sites on the island or to 

other countries for continued 

care including the United States. 

and for individual use. 

Dr. Tristan Cajar, assistant professor of the Defense 

Language Institute, was teaching Spanish to Civil Affairs 

Sailors in Yorktown, Va., when they received short-fused 

orders to Haiti shortly after the Pentagon learned about 

the earthquake in Haiti. 

Using CLREC’s newly updated Haiti training materials, 

Cajar was able to provide immediate cultural awareness 

and language training to his Sailors before they 

headed out the door for relief duty in Haiti a few hours 

later. 

“I can’t emphasize enough how much of a synergistic 

growth our Sailors experience when able to access not 

only a foreign culture, but one in which they are expected 

to operate efficiently, effectively and with a modicum 

of proficiency,” Cajar said. “Alongside language training, 

OCATS provide the ‘skeleton key’ with which inferences 

on cultural similarities and differences amongst 

peoples of the regions studied may be implicitly and 

explicitly made by the student.” 

In fiscal year 2009, CLREC trained nearly 10,000 

personnel at more than 100 face-to-face training sessions; 

more than 75,000 personnel received CLREC’s 

training materials and accessed its CL-150 Transparent 

Language Learning Software online. 

CLREC’s work was recently recognized by the 

American Society for Training and Development 

with a citation for “Excellence in Practice” and contributed 

to Navy’s selection as Workforce 

Management Magazine’s Optimas Award winner in 

“general excellence” for 2009.

The workshops are designed for 

active-duty military, but spouses and 

others who are not well informed on 

saving issues can attend, Smith said. 

The game show is similar to the 

show “Are You Smarter Than a 

Fifth-Grader” using financial questions. 

The savings and budgeting 

activity on Feb. 26 is for children. 

For those who are unable to 

attend a workshop, Smith is available

Speak up with concerns at NHP 

By Lt. Cmdr. Charles 

Trotter and Wayne Jensen 

Naval Hospital Pensacola 

Patient safety is a top 

priority at Naval Hospital 

Pensacola. Our goal is to 

ensure expert medical 

care in the safest environment 

possible, in both the 

inpatient and outpatient 

setting. 

Everyone has a role in 

ensuring health care is 

safe. Providers, nurses 

and corpsmen are working 

to make health care 

safety a priority. As a 

patient, you can play a 

vital role in patient safety 

by becoming an active, 

involved and informed 

member of your healthcare 

team. 

NH Pensacola endorses 

The Joint Commission 

“Speak Up” program; and 

materials from the program 

can be found 

throughout the hospital or 

on the commission’s Web 

site at www.joint commission.org. 

When you are in the 

hospital, take a moment to 

familiarize yourself with 

Speak Up by reading the 

brochure. The Speak Up 

program is intended to 

help patients become 

more informed and 

involved in their own 

health care. As a team, 

we can create a safer environment. 

Here are five ways you 

can help. 

• Speak up if you have 

questions or concerns. If 

you don’t understand, ask 

again. 

Your health is too 

important to worry about 

being embarrassed if you 

don’t understand something 

that your doctor, 

nurse or health-care professional 

tells you. 

Don’t be afraid to ask 

about patient safety 

issues. 

Take a relative or 

friend with you to help 

you ask questions and 

understand the answers. 

• Keep and bring a list 

of all the medicines you 

take. 

Make sure that your 

health-care provider 

knows about every medication 

you are taking, 

including non-prescription 

medications and supplements. 

Make sure your healthcare 

provider knows of 

any allergies and unusual 

reactions you have had to 

medications. 

Ask about side effects 

and what to avoid while 

taking the medicine. 

Read the label when 

you get your medicine, 

including all warnings. 

Make sure your medicine 

is what the doctor 

ordered and know how to 

use it. 

If the medication looks 

different than you expected, 

ask questions. 

• Make sure you get the 

results of any test procedure. 

Ask the nurse or doctor 

when and how you will 

get your test results. 

Don’t assume the 

results are fine if you do 

not get them when expected, 

be it in person or by 

phone. 

Contact your provider 

to inquire about your 

results and what the 

results mean to your care. 

• Make sure you understand 

what will happen if 

you need surgery. Ask 

your surgeon: 

Exactly what will you 

be doing 

About how long will it 

take 

What will happen after 

the surgery 

How can I expect to 

feel during recovery 

• Pay attention to the 

care you are receiving. 

Make sure you are getting 

the right treatments or 

medications by your 

health-care professional. 

Tell the doctor, Nurse 

or corpsman if something 

does not seem quite right. 

Expect staff to introduce 

themselves and look 

for identification badges. 

Notice whether your 

care givers have washed 

their hands. Do not be 

afraid to gently remind a 

doctor, nurse or corpsman 

to do this. 

Know what time of day 

you are scheduled to 

receive medications. If 

this is not followed bring 

this to the attention of 

your care givers. 

Make sure hospital 

staff confirms your identity 

by checking your wrist 

band or asking your name 

before administering 

medications or treatments. 

You, as the patient, can 

help us ensure a safer 

experience with the 

health-care system by 

being involved and 

informed in your own 

treatment and by asking 

questions. 

Improving patient safety 

requires continuous 

learning and the constant 

communication of information 

between caregivers 

and patients. 

We all have a role in 

patient safety, and everyone 

will benefit from its 

successes.

NASP officers’ spouses hosting foster event 

By Anne Thrower 


Members of the

and their children 

May 15 from 10:30 a.m.- 

12:30 p.m. at the ballfields

Hamilton, who is helping 

organize the event for the 

OSO club. 

For the children there 

will be a variety of activities 

including an obstacle 

course and bouncy 

house. 

The parents will be 

nearby under a covered 

pavilion where there will 

be musical entertainment 

and food. “They are 

going to be close in proximity, 

but yet have a 

break,” Hamilton said. 

There are currently 

119 foster families in 

Escambia and Santa 

Rosa counties who are 

invited to the event. 

Organizers wanted to get 

the word out early so the 

foster parents can start 

looking at their schedules. 

May is also 

National Foster Care 

Appreciation month. 

Including their biological 

children and their 

foster children, potentially 

several hundred could 

attend, Hamilton said. 

It’s the second year for 

the event. 

“Last year when the 

foster parents came out 

they were radiant and 

beaming,” Hamilton 

said. “It makes you feel 

good.” 

Hamilton put on a similar 

event while serving 

as a church youth leader 

in the Gainesville area 

prior to becoming part of 

the Navy with her husband, 

Lt. Chad Hamilton, 

the chaplain at Naval 

Aviation Schools 

Command. She is currently 

the ombudsman at 

NASC. 

“Those foster parents 

really have to give a lot,” 

Hamilton said, adding 

many are also raising 

their own biological children 

while providing for 

foster children who often 

have special needs. 

The Hamiltons have 

been foster parents. And 

they are currently in the 

process of adopting at 

least two siblings in the 

foster care system, 

preferably who are medically 

challenged. 

“Having been a foster 

parent I can really appreciate 

where they are coming 

from,” Hamilton said. 

“It makes me feel good to 

say ‘good job,’ ‘kudos’ 

and ‘ooh-rah.’” 

Hamilton is still looking 

for volunteers and 

donations for door prizes.

Many foster adoption opportunities locally 

From FamiliesFirst Network of 

Lakeview 

In Northwest Florida alone there 

are more than 500 children who are 

in temporary foster care and more 

than 50 of these children — our 

children in our own community — 

are waiting to be adopted. 

All of these “waiting children” 

are survivors of abuse, neglect or 

abandonment. 

These children are not the 

infants parents eagerly stand in line 

to adopt. Our “waiting children” 

are teenagers, children with complex 

medical or mental health 

problems or siblings who want to 

remain together. 

Many of these children are well 

adjusted and happy. Some are still 

dealing with hurt caused by their 

experiences and they need help to 

heal. 

All are children who can blossom 

in the security of a loving, stable 

and committed family. 

FamiliesFirst Network of 

Lakeview is looking for the families 

these children need to give 

them the support and futures they 

deserve. 

Do you have the room in your 

heart and home for an adopted 

child Can you help a child or children 

from our community to have a 

better future 

There is no cost to adopt a child 

from foster care and a monthly 

adoption subsidy, Medicaid coverage, 

free Florida college tuition and 

a federal tax credit are available for 

adopted children. 

Adoption requirements are very 

flexible. 

There are no set age, income or 

housing requirements and both 

married and single adults may 

apply to adopt. 

No prior parenting experience is 

needed. 

Pre-adoption training and support 

is provided for adoptive families. 

Adopting a child from the foster 

care system can be challenging and 

is not always easy. However, it is 

always life changing. 

For more information about 

adoption, contact FamiliesFirst 

Network at 595-6124 or e-mail 

peggy.custred@bhcpns.org. 

Above and below are some of the 

children who are available.

Air Force students from 479th Flying Training Group clean up lighthouse 

Story, photos 

2nd Lt. Mark Brodie 

479th Flight Training Group 

2nd Lts. Erik Sowder and Jennifer Messinger are starting to vacuum the 177 steps of the lighthouse 

tower. 

On Feb. 6, nine Air Force 

second lieutenants from the 

479th Flying Training 

Group onboard Naval Air 

Station Pensacola spent 

their day volunteering at the 

Pensacola Lighthouse to 

help maintain the lighthouse 

and its grounds. 

The officers are student 

combat system officers 

(CSOs) attending Air Force 

flight training at the new 

training group. 

At the end of the day, the 

student CSOs contributed 

more than 50 volunteer 

hours accomplishing tasks 

including cleaning out a 

storage area, vacuuming all 

177 stairs of the light house 

tower, planting trees and 

shrubs, spreading mulch, 

tilling flower beds for 

planting, removing tree 

stumps, ditch digging and 

running PVC pipe and electrical 

wire for lamp posts. 

Additionally, the student 

CSOs were able to take a 

tour of the lighthouse and 

keeper’s quarters, learn 

about some of the structure’s 

rich history and enjoy 

the spectacular views 

offered by the lighthouse 

tower’s observation deck. 

The Pensacola 

Lighthouse, which was 

originally established in 

1858, is listed on the 

National Register of 

Historic Places. 

During the American 

Civil War, Confederate 

troops occupying Fort 

Barrancas extinguished the 

light to prevent Union naval 

ships from using the beacon 

to re-supply Union troops 

occupying Fort Pickens on 

Santa Rosa Island. 

Legend has it the tower 

and quarters are haunted, 

and the lighthouse has been 

featured on the television 

programs “Haunted 

Lighthouses of America” 

on the Travel Channel and 

“Ghost Hunters” on the 

Syfy Channel. Although 

currently closed for the 

winter season, the lighthouse 

will reopen to the 

public beginning the last 

weekend of March with 

tours provided by members 

of the Pensacola 

Lighthouse Association. 

In addition to the volunteer 

work done at the lighthouse, 

students from the 

479th FTG have also been 

heavily involved in other 

volunteer opportunities in 

the local community 

including Habitat for 

Humanity, tutoring at local 

schools, Sacred Heart 

Children’s Hospital’s Mall 

Ball and organizing blood 

and clothing drives. 

2nd Lt. Andrew Metzger is raking up yard debris on 

the ground prior to mulch being spread and tilled

VT-6 sees end of 15-year 

exchange program 

By Ens. Joanna Clark 


Training Squadron 

Six bid fair winds to 

Argentinian instructor 

pilot Lt. Luis Arbini at a 

“hail and farewell” ceremony 

Jan. 29, marking 

the end of a 15-year 

exchange program that 

had Argentine pilots 

serving as instructors 

for the squadron. 

The exchange program 

was seen as a positive 

experience for both 

the students and instructors. 

“The Argentine Navy 

has been gracious 

enough to send some of 

their best pilots to teach 

students at Naval Air 

Station Whiting Field,” 

said Cmdr. Sean 

Maybee, VT-6 executive 

officer. “We have 

benefited tremendously 

by the cultural and professional 

exchange.” 

Throughout the program, 

VT-6 has hosted 

seven exchange instructor 

pilots, including 

Fabin Magnaca, Pablo 

Remotti, Diego Suarez 

Del Solar, Falcone 

Carlos, Juan Bilesio and 

Adrian De Pauli. 

The exchange pilots 

began their tours at the 

Defense Language

Training Unit prior to 

checking into VT-6. 

Arbini flew 750 hours 

and took on 10 onwings 

while attached to 

VT-6. He came here 

with his family and says 

his 8-year-old daughter 

is now bilingual. He 

describes his experience 

as challenging at times 

but very rewarding. 

“My experience was 

so positive. In Argentina 

we do the same thing, 

but in Spanish,” he said. 

“I have the obligation to 

share this experience 

with my colleagues 

The event will celebrate Black History 

Month with the theme, “The Evolution of 

Black History.” The featured guest speaker 

will be Tony Henderson, the assistant 

public defender for Escambia, Santa 

Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties. 

The celebration will be catered by the 

owner of H&H Barbeque, retired Chief 

Ships Serviceman Arthur Henderson, and 

will include a menu of barbeque chicken, 

ribs, sausage, baked beans, potato salad, rolls, assorted 

drinks and cake. 

when I return.” 

Arbini will become 

the executive officer of 

his new squadron when 

he returns to Argentina. 

“He is an outstanding 

pilot who brought a 

wealth of experience, 

and I will hate to see 

him go,” commented Lt. 

Col. Javier Ball, VT-6 

commanding officer. 

As this exchange program 

ends, a new 

exchange program will 

begin between the 

instructors from the P-3 

Orion Fleet Readiness 

Squadron at NAS 

Jacksonville and 

Argentine instructors.

As Naval Air Station Whiting Field 

rolls into Military Saves Week Feb. 21-28, 

the Fleet and Family Support Center 

(FFSC) is challenging personnel to get 

involved and help themselves. This year’s 

theme is “Start Small, Think Big.” 

Military Saves is a social marketing 

campaign to persuade, motivate, and 

encourage service members and their 

families to pay themselves first and allocate 

money each month to long term savings. 

The program enlists support from 

military organizations and their leaders to 

promote automatic savings as a tool to 

help military families provide for their 

financial well-being. 

“It’s not rocket science to realize that 

this is something everyone should do no 

matter how much you are making,” said 

Eugene Jackson, work and family life 

consultant for FFSC. “This concept is as 

old as money itself but an extremely 

tough one to master. Saving that extra dollar, 

especially when the economy takes a 

downturn is critical but immensely challenging. 

Savings can help you get through 

the worst of financial times and you will 

thank yourself for doing so.” 

Military Saves was developed and tested 

by its non-profit sponsor, Consumer 

Federation of America (CFA) and the military 

services from 2003 to 2006 and 

launched throughout the Department of 

Defense (DoD) Feb. 25, 2007. It continues 

to be supported by the DoD and each 

branch of service. 

“As a total force command-level program, 

Military Saves represents an opportunity 

for active duty, National Guard and 

Black History Month originated in 

1926 when Dr. Carter Woodson launched 

Negro History Week during the second 

week of February to include the birthdays 

of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick 

Douglas, two influential men in abolishing 

slavery. The observance was extended 

to the entire month in order to include 

more programs and activities in 1976, 

America’s bicentennial. The national 

theme for Black History Month this year is “The 

History of Black Economic Empowerment.” 

NASWF 

prepares 

for Military 

Saves Week 

Reserve leadership at all levels to encourage, 

motivate and educate service members 

and their families to save,” said 

Deputy Under Secretary of Defense 

Tommy Thomas in the Military Saves 

memorandum issued earlier this month. 

“The goal for this year’s campaign is to 

enable our service and family members to 

avoid common financial pitfalls such as 

overreliance on credit, spending beyond 

one’s means and inability to retire comfortably.” 

Jackson has a series of events planned 

to help meet that goal by providing information 

about savings and to encouraging 

fiscal responsibility.

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month 

From American Dental Association 

National Children’s Dental Health 

observances began with a one-day event 

in Cleveland, Ohio, and a one-week event 

in Akron, Ohio, during February 1941. 

Since then, the concept has grown from 

a two-city event into a nationwide program. 

The American Dental Association 

(ADA) held the first national observance 

of Children’s Dental Health Day Feb. 8, 

1949. The single-day observance became 

a weeklong event in 1955. And in 1981 

the program was extended to a monthlong 

celebration known today as National 

Children’s Dental Health Month 

(NCDHM). 

Attitudes and habits established at an 

early age are critical in maintaining good 

oral health throughout life. By participating 

in the annual celebration of National 

Children’s Dental Health Month, members 

of the dental team, parents, teachers 

and others can help keep children’s smiles 

beautiful now and for years to come. 

Sipping, snacking and tooth decay 

Many parents across the country will 

issue a common refrain at dinnertime 

tonight: “You’d better eat that – it’s good 

for you.” There’s another old favorite in 

the parental arsenal of dietary admonitions: 

“Don’t eat that – it’ll rot your teeth.” 

Now more than ever, kids are faced with 

a bewildering array of food choices – 

from fresh produce to sugar-laden 

processed convenience meals and snack 

foods. What children eat and when they 

eat it may affect not only their general 

health but also their oral health. 

Americans are consuming foods and 

drinks high in sugar and starches more 

often and in larger portions than ever 

before. It’s clear that junk foods and 

drinks gradually have replaced nutritious 

beverages and foods for many people. For 

example, the average teenage boy in the 

U.S. consumes 81 gallons of soft drinks 

each year. Alarmingly, a steady diet of 

sugary foods and drinks can ruin teeth, 

especially among those who snack 

throughout the day. Common activities 

may contribute to the tendency toward 

tooth decay. These include “grazing” 

habitually on foods with minimal nutritional 

value and frequently sipping on 

sugary drinks. 

When sugar is consumed over and over 

again in large, often hidden amounts, the

harmful effect on teeth can be dramatic. 

Sugar on teeth provides food for bacteria, 

which produce acid. The acid in turn can 

eat away the enamel on teeth. 

Almost all foods have some type of 

sugar that cannot and should not be eliminated 

from our diets. Many of these 

foods contain important nutrients and add 

enjoyment to eating. But there is a risk for 

tooth decay from a diet high in sugars and 

starches. Starches can be found in everything 

from bread to pretzels to salad dressing, 

so read labels and plan carefully for a 

balanced, nutritious diet for you and your 

kids. 

Reduce your children’s risk of tooth 

decay: 

• Sugary foods and drinks should be 

consumed with meals. Saliva production 

increases during meals and helps neutralize 

acid production and rinse food particles 

from the mouth. 

• Limit between-meal snacks. If kids 

crave a snack, offer them nutritious foods. 

If your kids chew gum, make it sugarless. 

Chewing sugarless gum after eating can 

increase saliva flow and help wash out 

food and decay-producing acid. 

• Monitor beverage consumption – 

Instead of soft drinks all day, children 

should also choose water and low-fat 

milk. 

• Help your children develop good 

brushing and flossing habits. Schedule 

regular dental visits. 

Are you prepared for a dental emergency 

Thousands of dental emergencies – 

from injuries to a painful, abscessed tooth 

– take place every day. Would you know 

what to do if your child broke a tooth or 

had a tooth knocked out while playing 

outdoors What if you had a bad 

toothache in the middle of the night and 

couldn’t get to the dentist until the next 

day Knowing what to do can lessen the 

pain and save a tooth that might otherwise 

be lost. 

Keep your dental office phone number 

and an emergency number where the dentist 

can be reached after hours with other 

emergency numbers, such as your family 

doctor, and fire and police departments. 

Some families post these numbers on the 

refrigerator or inside a kitchen cabinet 

door near the phone. Call the dentist 

immediately for instructions on how to 

handle a dental emergency.

Toothache: Rinse the mouth with 

warm water to clean it out. Gently use 

dental floss or an interdental cleaner to 

remove any food or other debris that may 

be caught between the teeth. Never put 

aspirin or any other painkiller against the 

gums near the aching tooth. This could 

burn gum tissue. If the toothache persists, 

try to see the dentist. Don’t rely on 

painkillers. They may temporarily relieve 

pain but your dentist should evaluate the 

condition. 

Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth: Try to 

find the tooth – this may not be as easy as 

you think if the injury took place on a 

playground, basketball court or while 

skateboarding, so try to stay calm. Hold 

the tooth by the crown and rinse the root 

in water if the tooth is dirty. Don’t scrub it 

or remove any attached tissue fragments. 

If it’s possible, gently insert and hold the 

tooth in its socket while you head to the 

dentist. If that’s not possible, put the tooth 

in a cup of milk and bring it to the dentist.

Maze: ‘Find the smile’ 

Time is critical for successful reimplantation, 

so try to get to your dentist immediately. 

Broken tooth: Rinse your mouth with 

warm water to clean the area. Use cold 

compresses on the outside of the cheek to 

help reduce the swelling. 

Tongue or lip bites or wounds: Clean 

the area gently with a clean cloth and 

apply cold compresses to reduce any 

swelling. If the bleeding can’t be controlled, 

go to a hospital emergency room 

or clinic. You may able to reduce bleeding 

from the tongue by pulling it forward and 

using gauze to put pressure on the wound. 

Objects caught between teeth: Try to 

gently remove the object with dental floss. 

Never use a sharp instrument to remove 

any object that is stuck between your 

teeth. If you can’t dislodge the object with 

floss, contact your dentist. 

Possible broken jaw: Apply cold 

compresses to control swelling. Get to the 

hospital emergency room immediately. 

‘Sippy cups’ and your child’s teeth: what you should know 

As soon as teeth appear in the mouth, decay can 

occur. One of the risk factors for early childhood dental 

caries (sometimes called baby bottle tooth decay or nursing 

mouth syndrome) is frequent and prolonged exposure 

of a baby’s teeth to liquids, such as fruit juice, milk 

or formula, which all contain sugar. 

Tooth decay can occur when a baby is put to bed with 

a bottle. Infants should finish their naptime or bedtime bottle 

before going to bed. Because decay can destroy the 

teeth of an infant or young child, you should encourage 

your children to drink from a cup by their first birthdays. 

Many training cups, also called sippy or tippy cups, 

are available in stores. Many are no-spill cups, which are 

essentially baby bottles in disguise. No-spill cups 

include a valve beneath the spout to stop spills. 

However, cups with valves do not allow your child to 

sip. Instead the child gets liquid by sucking on the cup, 

much like a baby bottle. This practice defeats the purpose 

of using a training cup, as it prevents the child from 

learning to sip. 

Don’t let your child carry the training cup around. 

Toddlers are often unsteady on their feet. They take an 

unnecessary risk if they try to walk and drink at the same 

time. Falling while drinking from a cup has the potential 

to injure the mouth. 

A training cup should be used temporarily. Once your 

child has learned how to sip, the training cup has 

achieved its purpose. It can and should be set aside when 

no longer needed. 

For sipping success, carefully choose and use a training 

cup. As the first birthday approaches, encourage your 

child to drink from a cup. As this changeover from baby 

bottle to training cup takes place, be very careful what 

kind of training cup you choose, what goes into the cup, 

how frequently your child sips from it and that your child 

does not carry the cup around. 

Talk to your dentist for more information. If your 

child has not had a dental examination, schedule a “well 

baby checkup” for his or her teeth. The ADA says that it 

is beneficial for the first dental visit to occur within six 

months of the appearance of the first tooth, and no later 

than the child’s first birthday.

NETC names Foote 

Sailor of the Year 

By Joy Samsel 

NETC Public Affairs 

Calling the selection process “exceedingly challenging,” 

Rear Adm. Joseph Kilkenny, commander of Naval 

Education and Training Command (NETC), announced the 

winner of the 2009 NETC Sailor of the Year (SoY) competition 

at a ceremony Jan. 29 at Naval Base Point Loma, San 

Diego. 

CTT1 Cassandra L. Foote, 27, an instructor at the Center 

for Information Dominance (CID) in Pensacola, received 

the award as her mother, Betsy Bathalon, watched in the 

audience. 

Foote joined the Navy from her hometown of Vergennes, 

Vt., and has served in the Navy for more than eight years, 

including two tours aboard ships – the aircraft carrier USS 

Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and the destroyer USS 

Winston Churchill (DDG 81). 

“I’ve seen many navies, and I’ve seen many militaries 

around the world, and it has constantly reinforced to me that 

the greatest difference between the United States Navy and 

the other armed services is the knowledge, skills and abilities 

of our Sailors,” Kilkenny said. “In addition to being Sailors, 

you are instructors charged with the molding of the next generation 

of Sailors who will sail into harm’s way.” 

The admiral told the gathering the U.S. Navy is in high 

demand for operations around the world. 

“Our Navy today is globally deployed, persistently forward 

and actively engaged,” Kilkenny said. “More than 

50,000 Sailors are on station around the world, including 

thousands of Sailors on the ground in Central Command, 

carrying out the six core capabilities of the maritime strategy: 

forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, 

maritime security and humanitarian assistance and disaster 

response. 

“In the Caribbean, crews aboard ships and aircraft from 

the Navy are supporting the immediate delivery of aid to 

earthquake victims in Haiti as part of operation Unified 

Response. We are able to achieve this level of support and 

readiness because our Sailors are melded into a highly skilled 

and capable force through the training you provide,” 

Kilkenny told the Sailors in the competition. 

Foote is the leading petty officer for CID’s Navy Military 

Training (NMT) battalion, overseeing instruction for new 

Sailors in general military knowledge, physical fitness, personal 

financial planning, and military bearing. As the command’s 

assistant coordinator for the Master Training 

Specialist program, she developed written tests and oral 

examination boards to enhance the training of instructors, 

resulting in a 10 percent higher qualification rate for personnel. 

“Being an instructor is an amazing job, and I enjoy every 

minute of it,” Foote said. “As an instructor you are able to 

influence and mold new Sailors. You are charged with teaching 

a technical skill-set and using your life experience to produce 

the best warfighter possible.” 

According to NETC Force Master Chief Petty Officer 

(SS) John Snyder, the six finalists were all highly qualified, 

knowledgeable and well spoken. 

“The competition and deliberation amongst the board 

members was tough as each of our six candidates were outstanding 

Sailors in their own right,” Snyder explained. “At 

the end of the day though, Petty Officer Foote’s record of 

achievements, commitment and dedication, and her overall 

interview performance singled her out as the right Sailor.” 

Foote will now go on to compete for the title of Sailor of 

the Year for the entire Manpower, Personnel, Training and 

Education domain. A win there would send her on to the 

Navywide Sailor of the Year competition.

Gen. James went to Ubon Royal 

Thai Air Force Base, Thailand, in 

December 1966, as deputy commander 

for operations, 8th TFW, and in 

June 1967 was named wing vice commander. 

He flew 78 combat missions 

into North Vietnam, many in the 

Hanoi/Haiphong area, and led a flight 

into the Bolo MiG sweep in which 

seven communist MiG-21s were 

destroyed, the highest total kill of any 

mission during the Vietnam War. 

He was named vice commander of 

the 33rd TFW at Eglin Air Force 

Base, in December 1967. He was 

transferred to Wheelus Air Base in the 

Libyan Arab Republic in August 1969 

as commander of the 7272nd Fighter 

Training Wing. 

Gen. James became deputy assistant

1977. 

Gen. James was widely known for 

his speeches on Americanism and 

patriotism for which he has been editorialized 

in numerous national and 

international publications. 

Gen. James died shortly after his 

retirement in 1978 of a heart attack. 

The first black officer in the history of 

the United States military to attain full 

four-star general rank, his memorial 

in Arlington National Cemetery says, 

in part: “This is my country, and I 

believe in her. I’ll protect her against 

all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

FitFest 2010 next week at Radford 

By Anne Thrower 


FitFest at Naval Air 

Station Pensacola will 

have two parts this year 

— one day for the fittest 

military members and 

others who workout on 

base and one day geared 

at families. 

The annual event 

starts Feb. 24 with a new 

event — the X-Fest, a 

series of “extreme” fitness 

challenges. 

The event at the 

Radford Fitness Center 

is open to anyone who 

qualifies to workout on 

base, including dependents, 

said Bob Thomas, 

director of the Navy 

Wellness and Fitness 

Center at Corry Station 

who is organizing the X- 

Fit competition. 

But the competition is 

geared at the fittest 

active-duty members, 

Thomas said, adding it’s 

similar to an event held 

at the air station in 

Jacksonville. 

Activities start at 6 

a.m. with a Gauntlet 

Race and run throughout 

the day, with the last 

event — a speed/agility 

competition — scheduled 

for 4 p .m.

Rare World War II bomber and 

fighter aircraft will be on display 

in Gulf Shores, Ala., Feb. 24-26. 

The planes are part of the 

Collings Foundation’s Wings of 

Freedom 110 city nationwide 

tour. 

Participating in the tour is the 

Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress 

“Nine O Nine” heavy bomber, the 

Consolidated B-24 Liberator 

“Witchcraft” heavy bomber and 

the P-51 Mustang “Betty Jane.”

officers, executive officers and command master 

chiefs will compete in this year’s event on Feb. 24.

The Gauntlet Race 

involves four-member 

teams who do a variety 

of physical activities. At 

least one member of the 

team must carry a 20- 

pound ball that never 

touches the ground. 

Dry runs of the race 

have taken from 39 minutes 

to 48 minutes to 

complete, Thomas said. 

There will also be 

rowing competition, a 

strong man/strong 

woman event and the X- 

baseball challenge 

where participants do a 

variety of physical challenges 

at different bases 

set up at the Radford 

Center. The winners are 

those who do the most 

activities in 20 minutes, 

Thomas said. 

What is expected to 

be the highlight of the 

day is a competition 

among the commanding 

officers, executive officers 

and command master 

chiefs, which starts at 

noon. 

The head officers will 

be involved in a fourminute 

speed/agility 

competition that 

includes running 

through tires and stepping 

over and crawling 

under hurdles. 

All the winners will 

get mugs, Thomas said. 

The second part of 

FitFest will take place 

Feb. 26 at the Radford 

The planes will arrive at Jack 

Edwards Airport at 2 p.m. on Feb. 

24 and department at noon on 

Feb. 26. 

Ground tours and displays will 

run from 2-4:30 p.m. on Feb. 24, 

9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 and 

and 9 a.m-noon on Feb. 26. 

Organizers say it’s a rare 

opportunity to visit, explore and 

learn more about these unique 

and rare treasures of aviation history. 

The B-17 is one of only nine in 

flying condition in the United 

States, the B-24J and Dual 

Center. The event will 

combine the Presidential 

Physical Fitness 

Challenge for children 

and classes and activities 

offered at the base. 

“We decided to go 

with a separate family 

event as a way of focusing 

on the family and 

their fitness needs,” said 

Dennexx McClendon, 

family fitness coordinator 

for the Family 

Fitness program. 

The family fitness 

challenge is divided in 

three age categories for 

children as young as 2 or 

as old as 12. Activities 

run throughout the day. 

The challenge 

includes curl ups, shuttle 

run, endurance run/ 

walk, right-angle push 

ups and sit-and-reach 

activities. 

Classes for parents 

and children will take 

place from 9 a.m.-noon. 

“It is our hope that we 

broaden our outreach to 

the military families at 

the event and display 

what is available as a 

resource to them 

through Family 

Fitness,” McClendon 

said.
