Today, it’sdown to as little as 24 hours to get them to state-side medicalfacilities. The goal is to get them what they need, whenthey need it, which is a change attributed much to AE initiativesadopted since 9/11.“This shows the documented importance in both wars(Iraq/Afghanistan) how important the “golden hour” is inaeromedicine evacuation terms,” said Swisshelm. “AEsaves lives.”“For the past 100 years, Navy medicine has been committedto keeping our pilots and aviators in the air; and Iam elated at the success we’ve had … that dates backalmost as long as naval aviation itself,” said NavySurgeon General Vice Adm. Adam M. Robinson Jr.Today, Navy medicine flight nurses, flight surgeons,physiologists, physiology technicians, search and rescuecorpsmen and medical technicians work side by side withaircrews around the world to ensure the medical readinessof aviators and their crews.Swisshelm got his flight nurse training through the AirForce flight nurse training program at Brooks AFB,Texas; and followed through at Yokota (AB), Japan’s theaterPatient Movement Center. Today, the Navy has acloser tie in flight nurse training with the Army at FortRucker, Ala., where corpsmen and nurses sharpen theiraeromedical evacuation skills in H-60 Black Hawk helicopters.Swisshelm arrived at NAS Pensacola’s health clinic inSeptember 2010 from duty as assistant director of nursing,and assistant department head of the emergencydepartment at NH Sigonella, Sicily.“I look forward to continuing our strong, Navy medicinepartnership with the naval aviation community aswe begin another 100 years of historical service,”Swisshlem said.Mullen says SEAL teamrepresents all of militaryBy Jim Garamone(NNS) – The scene at the White House was “tense”during the assault on the compound in Abbottabad,Pakistan, that killed Osama bin Laden, the chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff told the audience at the Robin HoodFoundation gala in New York May 9.Navy Adm. Mike Mullen answered questions posed byTom Brokaw during the annual fund raiser at the JavitsCenter, and gave some insights into the operation.“It really was the culmination of a phenomenal efforton the part of all the government agencies,” the chairmansaid. He singled out “the best intelligence work I’ve everseen that enabled those in the military who executed thismission to do so successfully.”The chairman praised President Barack Obama’s decisionto go after bin Laden saying it was by no means a surething that the al-Qaida leader was in the one-acre compound.“I thought it was a courageous decision on the partof the president,” Mullen said, noting it was only a 55 percentchance that the 9/11 attack mastermind was in thecompound.The president did “100 percent certainty in relying onour military,” the chairman said.The SEAL team that killed bin Laden “represents 2.2million men and women – active, Guard and reserve,”Mullen said. They are part of the best military he has seenin his more than four decades of service that started inVietnam.“I’ve spoken to them – they are proud of what they did;they are proud to represent this extraordinary military,” hesaid. “They really did make a difference.”The silent special operations warriors also would like tofade back into the shadows, the chairman said, “and I hopethat we can let them do that.”Brokaw asked Mullen about what the feeling was likein the White House when word came back from Pakistanthat the team had killed bin Laden. Mullen said he waselated, but he also was still worried.“It was far from over at that point,” he said. “They werestill inside the building. There was the need to get them outand get them out safely.”They, of course, did make it out safely. The specialoperators performed the mission perfectly even whenfaced with an additional challenge – one helicopter had ahard landing and had to be abandoned.“I think tremendous credit goes to a lot of people,”Mullen said. “Not only did we execute this mission, butwe didn’t lose anybody, none of our people were injured,and we achieved it in a way that many people didn’t thinkwe could years ago. They are the best of the best.”For more news, visit http://www.defense.gov//.Navy Adm.

The membersof the Auxiliary Security Forces(ASF) provide that added protection.ASF is comprised of permanentlyassigned military from NASP and itstenant commands and their job is toincrease force protection during naturaldisasters, disturbances, aircraftmishaps or when directed by thecommanding officer of NASP. TheSailors and Marines who apply andare accepted for an ASF billet gothrough three weeks of force protectiontraining ranging from multiplegun qualifications to physical defensivetactics training to oleoresin capsicum(OC) spray – better known aspepper spray – preparation.The most recent class of ASF candidates,led by NASP SecurityDirector Jeffrey Glassey, ForceProtection Director Terry Glancy andtraining instructor MA2 Drew Cady,graduated May 9, with every participantsuccessfully finishing thecourse. Their graduation was attendedby NASP Executive Officer Cmdr.Greg Thomas, who impressed uponeach member of the class the importanceof their responsibilities as ASFmembers and how much the baserelied upon their commitment toforce protection readiness.“The presence of ASF onboard theinstallation has allowed us to effectivelyenter our force protection conditions(FPCON) with ease,” PoliceChief Carlton Matthews said afterthe graduation. “Their dedication toduty and attention to detail rivals thatof our best and brightest police officers.”The ASF billets are filled on afirst-come, first-serve basis and ASFcoordinator MAC Frank Lewczakencouraged anyone who is interestedto read the NASPCLAINST 5530.4Cinstruction and contact him at francis.lewczak@navy.mil.“Currently we have 20 open billets,”said Lewczak. “This is a greatcommand collateral and an incredibleopportunity to take on a challengeand better your career.” Headded that while the billets are normallyfor E-6 and bellow, with thecommanding officers approval seniorenlisted and officers are accepted aswell.Photos by AN Rachele LehmannCpl.

The videomessage is available atwww.cnic.navy/cnrse andwww.facebook.com/navyregionse.Also available onlineare the energy strategybrochure and a quick referencecard that Sailors,civilian employees,retirees and family memberscan download. Thebrochure outlines theregion’s energy goals andthe quick-reference cardprovides specific recommendationson howeveryone can help reduceenergy consumption.The energy strategy ispart of an ongoing effortto change behaviors froma culture of consumptionto a culture of conservation.Aggressive conservationefforts atSoutheast region installationswill enable theregion to meet the secretaryof the Navy’s goal of3 percent energy usagereduction per year and a30 percent reduction by2015 relative to 2003.Energy modernization project expectedto save NAS Pensacola $356,000 yearlyBy Mike O’ConnorGosport Associate EditorA $2.6 million UtilityEnergy Services Contract(UESC) awarded earlierthis year to local power utilityGulf Power will saveNaval Air Station Pensacolaan estimated $356,000 peryear in annual utility costs.The “NAS PensacolaNine-Building UESCProject” will bring aboutenergy savings from themodernization and upgradeof lighting, water and airconditioning systems in aseries of buildings onboardthe air station.The contract announcementwas made recently byNaval FacilitiesEngineering CommandSoutheast (NAVFAC SE)NAS Pensacola PublicBy Cliff PlanteNavFac SE (Jacksonville)Resource Efficiency ManagerWorks Department (PWD)Resource EfficiencyManager Jason Poe.The NAS PensacolaNine-Building UESCProject outlines its details ina 600-page document. Inshort, the work gets done atno up-front cost to theNavy. “Basically, we paythe bill through the savings,”Poe said. “Oncewe’re through paying it, wejust receive the savings.“Through the Navy’sBasic Order Agreement(BOA), it allows GulfPower to develop, constructand finance energy conservationprojects and receivethe payments from the savingsgenerated from theproject,” Poe said. “Itshould be paid back in 7.3years. Then we get to bankthe savings.”Sometimes people have the misconceptionthat water is “free.” As weall know, that is not true. The Earthmight seem like it has abundant water,but in fact only 1 percent of all wateron the planet is available for humans.When you buy kitchen and bath fixturesand products that are water efficient,you can use less water to get the same jobdone just as well. When shopping for fixtures,look for the “WaterSense” label to find water efficientproducts.There are several things that everyone can doto reduce water consumption:High efficiency light emittingdiode (LED) lights saveenergy – and have a muchlonger life than incandescentbulbs.Department of NavyExecutive Order 13423calls for a 30 percent energyreduction goal and a 16 percentwater reduction goal by2015. With a series ofUESC projects under development,NAVFAC SE ismoving toward meetingthose goals.At the heart of the project,lighting retrofits, lightingcontrol upgrades, water• Repair leaky faucets promptly. One faucetleaking one drop per second can waste 2,400 gallonsof water a year. That’s 13 years worth ofdrinking water for one person.• Repair “silent leaks” in the toilet.If food coloring put in the tankends up in the bowl without flushing,it leaks. Repairing the leak will saveup to 200 gallons of water a day.• The average person uses 80-100gallons of water per day in the home.The top three uses for water in thehome are toilets, bathing and washing clothes.• Make it a full load. The average washingmachine uses 40.9 gallons of water per load. Ifyou’re in the market for a new washer, shop fora high-efficiency washer that needs less than 28gallons of water per load. To achieve even greaterconservation and air conditioningchiller replacementsare slated to rein in energyand water use. Lightingupgrades are in store forBldgs. 225, 623, 630, 633,3220, 3258 and 3450; airconditioning chiller plantreplacements are plannedfor Bldgs. 603 and 3251.“We saw that 603 and3251 had antiquated chillersystems; we saw old T-12lighting, a lot of incandescentlighting and highintensitylamps. Those arevery inefficient and canalways be replaced by fluorescentand LED lighting,”Poe said. “On the lightingretrofits, it’s about replacingstandard electronic andmagnetic ballast fixtureswith new high efficiencyelectronic fixtures.”Building heating, ventilationand air conditioning(HVAC) controls will bereplaced in Bldgs. 603,3220, 3258 and 3450 andupgraded in Bldgs. 603 and3258.Water conservationneeds will be addressed inBldgs. 623, 3220 and 3450.Water conservationimprovements are achievedby replacing water closets,and the use of urinal flushvalves, aerated showerheadsand low-flow, lowflushfixtures.“We’re always excitedabout having these projectsapproved; that’s one waywe can come close to meetingthat (2015) goal throughthese huge energy reductions,”Poe added.“I’m satisfied we’remaking progress towardthat goal,” he said.NavFac SE: water efficiency and conservation tipssavings, wash only full loads or be sure to choosethe appropriate load size of the washing machine.• Use cold water rather than hot to operateyour food disposer. This saves the energy neededto heat the water, is recommended for the appliancesand helps in getting rid of grease. Greasesolidifies in cold water and can be ground up andwashed away.• Don’t use the “rinse hold” on your dishwasherfor just a few soiled dishes. It uses 3 to 7gallons of hot water each time you use it.• If your shower fills a 1-gallon bucket inless than 20 seconds, replace the showerheadwith a more water-efficient model.• Shorten your shower by a minute or twoand you’ll save up to 150 gallons per month.For more information, visit http://www. floridaswater.com.

Thegrowing phenomenon of Africanized hybrid bees demands all swarms be treated as potentiallyaggressive.Story, photos by Ens. Tim MossoNASWF PAONaval Air Station WhitingField hosted 60 second-gradersApril 29 for the base’s secondannual Wildlife Ecology FieldDay. The students, from BagdadElementary School, experienceda day of hands-on activitiesdesigned to foster respect,appreciation and understandingof the Northwest Florida environment.The youths gathered at NASWhiting Field’s publicly accessibleClear Creek Nature Trail,where a greeting party ofWhiting personnel and localcommunity facilitators had prepareda unique welcome. Livehoney bees, forest rangers, aninsect anatomy workshop and aguided nature walk highlighteda morning of engaging education.NAS Whiting FieldCommand Master Chief RafaelRosado welcomed the childrenand encouraged them to learnfrom their outdoor experience.He urged the children “aboveall, leave no trace,” when enjoyingthe trails.“It was as perfect a day asyou could have asked for anature walk,” he noted followingthe event.Rosado co-led a short hikewith Ron Cherry the naturalresource manager at WhitingField Environment and PublicWorks. Cherry hopes that thechildren used their trail time asan opportunity to broaden theirawareness of nature’s relevanceto their lives.“We talked about the differenttrees and how the live oak,in particular, played a key rolein our nation’s history. The USSConstitution, ‘Old Ironsides,’was built of the same live oakand local forests once providedthis hardwood for the Navy,”Cherry explained.He juxtaposed this historylesson with an overview ofWhiting’s effort to conserveresources for the future.“We talk about recycling hereat Whiting and at home, and wehope the kids will encouragetheir parents to recycle more,”Cherry added.The young guests were treatedto an array of engaging lessonsby experts in local ecology.Forest rangers from the FloridaDepartment of Forestry highlightedthe importance ofhuman stewardship in conservationefforts. Forest ranger JasonGates stressed the importance ofactively managing fire in localforests.“Are all fires bad? No … ourtractor cuts growth to prepare acontrolled burn … fire is a toolwe use to manage vegetation,”Gates explained as he showcaseda Forestry Departmentbulldozer. “We also use helicoptersto fight fires,” he explained.The University of FloridaSanta Rosa County ExtensionService energized the eventwith a contingent of environmentalexperts. TheUF/Extension Service, whichfocuses on natural and agriculturalscience, organized handsoneducational activities in conjunctionwith local 4-H Clubvolunteers.Children rotated through aseries of mutually reinforcingworkshops facilitated byUF/Extension personnel.Poisonous snakes were thehighlight at the reptile pavilion.UF/Extension Agriculturalagent John Atkins intrigued andeducated the second-graderswith a series of stuffed andmounted snakes. Atkins emphasizedthat only six of Florida’sroughly 67 species of snake arevenomous and he encouragedchildren to have a safer summerby recalling “the big six” ratherthan all 67 – diamondback rattlesnake,canebrake rattlesnake,pygmy rattlesnake, copperhead,coral snake and cottonmouth.Beekeeper Jim Peach reemphasizedAtkin’s focus onsafety through awareness.Peach’s guidance focused oncommon-sense responses to beeswarms, bee stings,and thegrowing phenomenon ofAfricanized hybrid swarms.His co-presenter, master beekeeperRoy Smith, expoundedthe vast role of the honeybee inproducing America’s food supply,“there are 140 commerciallyavailable varieties of honey inthe United States, but that’s justthe beginning.“You would not have thehamburger if you did not havethe honeybee,” Smithenthused. He added that everycomponent of a hamburger,either directly or indirectly,depends on pollination byhoney bees. Smith elicited around of giggles when he notedthe critical codependencebetween honeybees and localcotton farmers; “without thebee, a lot of us would benaked.”Mike Donahoe, an entomologistwith the ExtensionService, further focused on theimmediate intimate linkbetween local residents theirsmallest neighbors. He helpedprovide a quick overview ofthe insects they might haveseen on the trail. Children weretaught basic insect recognitionthrough a marshmallow insectconstruction workshop.“I want the kids to haverespect but also to understandthe value of insects to theirenvironment, the bees forexample,” he said.Taylor Lyons, 6, foundDonahoe’s message easy todigest. “I think the favorite partwas where we made littlemarshmallow ants,” she stated.UF/Extension Service 4-Hagent Vickie Mullins stressedthe value of giving childrenearly exposure to environmentalscience; “Kids are alwaysopen to new ideas. What theylearn today at Whiting isbacked by an educational curriculumwe (UF/ExtensionService 4-H and U.S.Department of Agriculture)provide teachers … we hopethey leave with a greater appreciationand respect for theirenvironment.”University of Florida/Extension Agricultural agent John Atkinsexplains to some of the second-graders the value of snakes tothe environment and how to recognize potentially dangerousones.Advertisewith us!Call433-1166ext. 21
