GOSPORT November 13, 2009 PAGE 3Cherish your spouse, never take them for grantedBy Gen. Stephen R. LorenzCommander Air Education TrainingCommandRANDOLPH AIRFORCE BASE, Texas(AFNS) — While walkingpast the base chapel the otherday, I witnessed a scene thatcaused me to pause andreflect. I turned and watchedas people, dressed in theirSunday best, flowed fromthe chapel doors, smilingand casually chatting.They slowly split into twolines, creating a path that ledto a waiting limousine. Thecrowd stood and waited,fueling my anticipation.Suddenly, a photographerburst from the doors, turnedand captured a bride andgroom as they ran outside.The crowd erupted <strong>with</strong>cheers.The bride, white gownflowing as she ran, paused tohug a friend. The groomimmediately tugged at herhand, pulling her toward thewaiting limousine. Withoutpause, they hopped in thelimousine and the crowdagain cheered as they spedaway.I couldn’t help but smileas I watched the newly marriedmilitary couple starttheir new life together. Itmade me think about ourspouses and our militaryfamilies. Our families, especiallyour spouses, are thefoundation that enable eachof us to serve in the world'sgreatest military.I don’t think anyonewould argue the importanceof having such a foundation.Our lives need balance andour spouses help providethat stability. I like to use theanalogy that such balance issimilar to the spokes of abicycle wheel. You see, abicycle needs balancedspokes in order to provide asmooth ride.Our lives are no different.I think of the spokes as thedifferent priorities in ourlives. If one of the spokes,like the relationship <strong>with</strong>your spouse, the needs ofyour children or the responsibilitiesat work, get slighted,the wheel no longer rollsthe way it should.It might even get to thepoint where it stops rollingaltogether.We must balance each ofour life’s spokes very deliberatelyand carefully.When we are balancingshortfalls and managing alimited amount of time,money and manpower, ourspouses often are the oneswho get short-changed.We can’t afford to let thathappen and must alwaysmake time to tell our spouseshow much we appreciatethem. When you’re tiredfrom the challenges at work,take a deep breath, walk inthe door <strong>with</strong> a smile and tapyour energy reserve to makea difference <strong>with</strong> the timethat you have.It only takes a minute tolet them know how muchyou care; a simple squeezeof the hand, rub on theshoulder or a phone call duringthe day. Think about thethings that make you feelappreciated and loved. Dothose things for them inreturn. Always strive to givemore than you receive.It only takes aminute to let themknow how much youcare; a simplesqueeze of the hand,rub on the shoulderor a phone call duringthe day ...This isn’t an easy thing todo. Maintaining the friendship,trust and energy in arelationship is a full-timejob. It’s up to you to make ita fun job; for both you andyour spouse.I have warned servicemembers about the danger ofcomplacency in our professionallives.The same goes for our personallives too. Many peopleconfuse complacency <strong>with</strong>comfort. Although comfortcan help build stability in arelationship, complacencycan cause a relationship todrift apart.Never, ever take yourspouse for granted.Our spouses make significantsacrifices each andevery day. There are countlessstories of spouses whogo above and beyond; storiesof men and women who volunteerin the local communityand pursue their own successfulcareers despite longdays and deployments bytheir military spouses.There are even moreuntold stories about spouseswho quietly make a differenceevery day. The story ofthe wife who, after a longswing shift, returned hometo wake her family, cookeveryone breakfast and sendthem all out the door beforecollapsing herself; the storyof the husband who stayedup all night taking care ofsick children so that his wifecould go to work rested andready. Resist the temptationto become accustomed tosuch acts of sacrifice andkindness.These tremendous examplesare often interrupted bythe “other” stories. We’ve alldone “boneheaded” thingslike forgotten importantoccasions, not paid enoughattention to our spouse’sconcerns and tried to solvetheir challenges for them(instead of just listeningsympathetically).Work hard to avoid thesethoughtless acts in the firstplace. Be critical of yourselfand the things you do. Yourstandard of excellence atwork should be no differentwhen at home.Lastly, when you feel yourspouse has neglected you insome manner, it is best toforgive <strong>with</strong>out pretense. Putpast grudges aside so youcan move forward together.After all, forgiveness is whatyou hope for after apologizingfor those “boneheaded”things I just discussed.As I turned to leave, thecrowd had already forgiventhe bride and grooms' hastydeparture, and started to dissipatefrom the front steps ofthe chapel.The couple was startingtheir life together, as a militaryteam. I thought of myspouse, Leslie. We made acommitment to each othermore than 34 years ago.We knew that our liveswould be better if spenttogether and have learnedthrough the years to dependon each other in order toaccomplish our goals.For me, Leslie has beenthe key to keeping my wheelbalanced. I’ve worked hardthrough the years to makeeach day <strong>with</strong> her better thanthe one before; to keep mywheel rolling smoothly.Our individual strengthcomes from the foundationthat our spouses provide athome. By cherishing yourspouse and making sure theyknow how much you appreciatethem, your wheel cancontinue to cruise happilythrough life as well.

Nimitz, then theChief of Naval Operations,ordered the formation of aflight demonstration team tokeep the public interested innaval aviation.The Blue Angels performedtheir first flightdemonstration less than ayear later in June 1946 attheir home base, Naval AirStation (NAS) Jacksonville,Florida. Flying the GrummanF6F Hellcat, they were ledby Lt. Cmdr. Roy “Butch”Voris.Only two months later onAugust 25, 1946, the BlueAngels transitioned to theGrumman F8F Bearcat.One year later, the 1947team, led by Lt. Cmdr.Robert Clarke, introducedthe now famous “DiamondFormation.”By the end of the 1940’sthe Blue Angels were flyingtheir first jet aircraft, theGrumman F9F-2 Panther. Inresponse to the demandsplaced on naval aviation inthe Korean conflict, the teamreported to the aircraft carrierUSS Princeton as the nucleusof Fighter Squadron 191(VF-191), Satan’s Kittens, in1950.The team reorganized thenext year and reported toNAS Corpus Christi, Texas,where they began flying thenewer and faster version ofthe Panther, the F9F-5. TheBlue Angels remained inCorpus Christi until the winterof 1954 when they relocatedto their present homebase at NAS Pensacola,Florida. It was here that theyprogressed to the sweptwingGrumman F9F-8Cougar.The ensuing 20 years sawthe Blue Angels transition totwo more aircraft, theGrumman F11F-1 Tiger(1957) and the McDonnellDouglas F-4J Phantom II(1969).In December 1974, theNavy Flight DemonstrationTeam began flying theMcDonnell Douglas A-4FSkyhawk II and was reorganizedas the Navy FlightDemonstration Squadron.This reorganization permittedthe establishment ofa commanding officer vice aflight leader (Cmdr. TonyLess was the squadron’sfirst official commandingofficer), added support officersand further redefinedthe squadron’s mission,emphasizing the support ofrecruiting the nation’s finestto serve their country.On Nov. 8, 1986, the BlueAngels completed their 40thanniversary year during ceremoniesunveiling theirpresent aircraft, the newsleek F/A-18 Hornet, thefirst dual-role fighter/attackaircraft now serving on thenation’s front lines ofdefense.In 1992 more than onemillion people viewed BlueAngel’s performances duringa 30-day Europeandeployment to Sweden,Finland, Russia, Romania,Bulgaria, Italy, the UnitedKingdom and Spain. Thiswas the first Europeandeployment in 19 years.The 2009 show seasonbrought out more than 15million spectators.Since 1946, the BlueAngels have performed formore than 450 million fans.

PAGE6November 13, 2009GOSPORTEnlisted naval pilots reunite at NASP for one last visitBy Anne Thrower<strong>Gosport</strong> Staff WriterBob Fife, who grew upin rural South Dakota,decided to join the Navy at17 right out of high school.Little did he know at thetime in July 1941, hewould learn to fly, bumpingheads <strong>with</strong> dignitariesand even astronauts in his30-year Navy career.He didn’t join the Navyto become a pilot. But backthen, as Fife likes to put it,they were making planesfaster than they had pilotsto fly them. He was servingas a captain’s yeomanon the USS Savannahwhen the chance to go toflight school came his way.“I didn’t know anythingabout aviation,” he said.But by the time he was 19,he was a pilot.Fife didn’t know it at thetime, but he would beamong the last of theenlisted pilots.By 1947 the Navywould discontinue usingenlisted pilots and requirethat all future pilots be officers.ed ranks.Bob FifeMost went on to getcommissioned, includingFife, who became Lt. j.g.Fife at 37.Fife came to Pensacolain July 1943 as a newlywed,and by October hehad become AP1C – aviatorpilot first class. He hadbeen a third class yeoman.And his careeradvanced, becoming achief by the time he was20. He had orders to go toSouth America whenWorld War II ended. Therest of his 30-year careerincluded time in numerousports and Washington,D.C., where he flew membersof Congress around.His last job was atPatrick Air Force Base inEvans enlisted in the Navy to become a pilotBy Anne Thrower<strong>Gosport</strong> Staff WriterJack Evans met an enlisted Navypilot when he was in high school inCorcoran, Calif.So when he enlisted in the Navyin June 1941 that’s what he wantedto become. He was 17 at thetime.But before he was able toget his wings, he spent twoyears on the USS Tennesseewhere he was wounded atPearl Harbor.“It was quite an experiencefor a young man,” he said.He had already completedhis cleaning station and finishedbreakfast that Sundaymorning and was decidingwhere to go to church, whenhe saw the Japanese planes coming.From his lookout 110 feet abovewater, he saw the first torpedoplanes as they approached. Herecalled seeing a Japanese aviator<strong>with</strong> a machine gun in the rear seatof one plane. “We could see eachother’s faces very clearly,” he said.The USS Tennessee didn’t getany torpedoes, but two bombs didhit the ship, killing five men.Evans was injured <strong>with</strong> metalfragment in both legs. “I was prettylucky,” he said, saying he never feltit. They took the fragments out andsent him back to duty.The ship went on to spend timein the South ChinaSea. While not inthe fight, the shipwas nearby for theBattle of CoralSea and the Battleof Midway.Despite all theaction he experiencedduringWorld War II,Evans never lostJack Evans his interest inbecoming a pilot.He had to wait until August 1943 tostart his training.He received his wings in January1945. His training included stints inthe Pensacola area, including theformer Bronson Filed and atWhiting Field where he receivedinstrument training.He is among the Silver Eagleswho will be at Naval Air StationPensacola this weekend for a finalreunion, which includes seeing theair show.Although World War II waswinding down, Evans went on tohave a distinguished 33-1/2 yearcareer in the Navy, reaching therank of captain, before retiring in1974.He spent two tours at thePentagon, and during the VietnamWar he was the commander of theUSS Pyro, an AE 24 ammunitionship.Today Evans, 85, lives in LaMesa, Calif., <strong>with</strong> his wife. Andthe trip to Pensacola brings someprior memories as well as somerealities.“We all have enough aches andpains of growing older that weunderstand the process has caughtup <strong>with</strong> us,” he said. “It’s gettingharder to travel.”But the pride of being a SilverEagle remains.“I think we were always theenvy of all the other Sailors,” hesaid.“It was a wonderful opportunity.”Florida where he worked<strong>with</strong> the space program.Today he lives about 50miles from the space centerin Smyrna, Fla., <strong>with</strong>his wife, Margaret.

But he did work as asalesman, selling Deltafaucets for 12 years andretiring at 62. Morerecently he retired fromgolf at 80.R.J. Jones was in the Navyfor almost 38 years. And foralmost all of those years he wasan enlisted pilot.When he meets this weekend(Nov. 12-15) <strong>with</strong> fellowenlisted pilots for their lastnational reunion at NASP, hewill bring the distinction ofbeing the last enlisted pilot toretire.That was in 1981, and hecontinued to fly for another 20R.J. Jonesyears, making a flight to Fairbanks, Alaska, as his last flight in2001.“I always thought we would stay <strong>with</strong> it until the last two,and then we would break the last bottle,” Jones said. Instead thesmaller wings spread around the country will continue, but nota national organization. The nearest wing to Jones — who livesin Kim, Colo. — is in Dallas.Like many Navy pilots who joined during World War II,Jones spent most of the war on a ship. He was 20 when heenlisted and spent almost two years on the USS Aucilla, makingfour trips across the Atlantic carrying fuel for the invasionfleet.Unlike some Navy guys, Jones didn’t join the Navy tobecome a pilot. “The only reason I ended up in flight school isbecause they had come out <strong>with</strong> a directive requesting fleetSailors for flight school,” he said.He came to Pensacola in January 1947 and received hiswings in August. The 200 in his group knew they were going tobe the last enlisted pilots.And it was in Pensacola he retired in 1981. In between hespent more than 30 years as a pilot, including a stint in Vietnamin 1967-68 providing supplies to the troops.He wrote a book “Skidmarks in the Sky” based on his experiencesas a pilot that he calls “safety manual” that includes “allthe mistakes I made during the 51 years that I flew.”At 86, Jones spends time in Pensacola visiting his son, Paul,who is also a pilot. He followed in his father’s footsteps, servingin the Navy. But unlike his father, Paul Jones was an officerand graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.Support★Our★Troops

Pete Hall assumes command of NAS Whiting FieldStory, photosby Jay CopeNAS Whiting FieldThe world’s busiest Naval Air Stationobserved a change at the helm Nov. 5when Capt. Pete Hall relieved Capt.Enrique Sadsad as commanding officer. More than700 community leaders, military personnel, friendsand family filled Naval Air Station Whiting Field’sAtrium to watch the time-<strong>honored</strong> Navy tradition.Capt. Pete Hall and Capt. Enrique Sadsad trade salutes as they prepare to request permission for Hallto assume duties as the commanding officer of Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Nov. 5.Rear Adm. Townsend Alexander,Commander Navy Region Southeast,served as the guest speaker for theevent and referred to the importance ofthe ceremony.“The formal change of command isa cornerstone in our Navy. It gives us achance to celebrate the past accomplishmentsof one while welcomingthe changes that come from another,”Alexander said. “This is always donein this manner so there is never anyquestion about who is in charge. Andfor the last 25 months at NAS WhitingField, there has been no doubt thatRick Sadsad has been in charge.”During Sadsad’s tour of duty,Whiting Field worked <strong>with</strong> TrainingAir Wing Five to surpass more than420,000 aircraft flight hours andgreater than four million flight evolutions.But his greatest contributionswere the partnerships he formed <strong>with</strong>the communities, making the WhitingField – Santa Rosa County team amodel of cooperation across theSoutheast region. He worked diligentlyto help make the AviationCommerce Park a reality. And herenewed many lagging communityrelationship programs encouragingmilitary and civilian base personnel toget involved <strong>with</strong> the area’s outreachefforts. For his contributions, he wasnamed the Santa Rosa CountyChamber of Commerce’s Man of theYear for 2008 and the Alliance ofDefense Communities’ MilitaryLeader of the Year for 2009.That level of community participationwas equally displayed by the presenceof local political leaders, areabusinessmen, school representatives,civic organizations and the participationof the local high schools’ band andcolor guard.In addition to the civilian accolades,the military recognized his accomplishmentsduring the ceremony bypresenting him <strong>with</strong> the Legion ofMerit medal. It was an honor thatSadsad was quick to attribute to others.“Our team has done an exceptionallyimpressive job. The base appearance,its efficiency and teamworkspeak for itself. This is absolutely thebest staff a commanding officer couldask for,” he said. “They are consummateprofessionals. Every job is doableand they do it <strong>with</strong> pride and a lot ofclass. I am extremely fortunate to be apart of this winning team.”During his 32-year Navy career,Sadsad served as an enlisted aviationmachinist’s mate for various helicoptersquadrons. After six years, he wastransferred to Aviation OfficerCandidate School and designated anaval flight officer in 1984. Since thenhe completed aviation-related toursthrough many parts of the world,earned his master’s degree, been forwarddeployed on a carrier, and commandeda training squadron before takingcommand at Whiting Field.It is a distinguished career thatbegan due to the good impressions leftby Sailors visiting the Philippineswhen he was a youth.“What motivates me to do thesethings? I remember seeing Sailors andMarines come to my elementaryschool in the Philippines to repair andpaint our classrooms and deliver textbooks,”Sadsad said. “Those are mymemories of the U.S. Navy and theAmerican people. Those same qualitiescame to life when we came to NASWhiting Field and this great community… we have found our new home.”Although his next tour of duty willbe as the Commanding Officer NavalSupport Activity Bahrain, Sadsadstresses that he will return to the localarea when his Navy career is complete.Hall assumed duties as the 39thcommanding officer for NAS WhitingField, <strong>with</strong> a short reading of hisorders, an exchange of salutes, and thepermission to “take charge” fromAlexander.

GOSPORTNovember 13, 2009PAGEB3Mullen praises WWII Japanese-American troopsBy John J. KruzleAmerican Forces Press ServiceWASHINGTON, — For three days inOctober 1944, a Japanese-American militaryunit fought in dense woods, heavy fogand freezing temperatures in the mountainsof France, answering the prayers ofan American battalion pinned down byGerman forces.In a bloody rescue mission that becameone of World War II’s most famed battles,more than 800 troops fighting <strong>with</strong> the442nd Regimental Combat Team died asthe unit saved 217 American forces.“The 442nd, for its size and length ofservice, is the most decorated unit in theentire history of the United States military,”Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said this weekin remarks before the Japanese AmericanMemorial Fund. “Their story has taughtme so many things and has likely inspiredall who have heard it.”German forces had cut off the TexasNational Guard’s 1st Battalion, 141stInfantry Regiment, in the VosgesMountains when commanders ordered inthe 442nd. The German troops already hadrepelled repeated rescue attempts by the141st’s other two battalions.Nearly half of the men in the Japanese-American unit would be dead or woundedthree days later, <strong>with</strong> the Texas battalionstill isolated.“Then, something happened in the442nd,” according to an official account atthe Army Center for Military History. “Byones and twos, almost spontaneously and<strong>with</strong>out orders, the men got to their feetand, <strong>with</strong> a kind of universal anger, movedtoward the enemy position. Bitter hand-tohandcombat ensued as the Americansfought from one fortified position to thenext. Finally, the enemy broke in disorder.”The original 4,000 men had to bereplaced nearly three and a half times. InCall Simone Sandsto advertise in GOSPORTat 433-1166 Ext. 21total, about 14,000 men served at the442nd Regimental Combat Team, ultimatelyearning 9,486 Purple Hearts, 21Medals of Honor, and an unprecedentedeight Presidential Unit Citations, Mullentold an audience that included troops fromthe 442nd and 141st.“I am truly humbled in the deepestsense possible to be in their midst, to share<strong>with</strong> you some of the many lessons I havelearned from their intrepid service,” hesaid. “Their story has taught me so manythings and has likely inspired all who haveheard it.”Mullen said a study of what inspiredJapanese-American troops is a lesson inpride, courage and a heartfelt belief in theliberties promised by the U.S.Constitution.“These Japanese-Americans nobly volunteeredto serve the very country whopersecuted and imprisoned them and theirfamilies,” Mullen said, referring to theU.S. policy of placing Japanese-Americans in internment camps followingthe bombing of Pearl Harbor. “Yet, theseJapanese-Americans who chose to servefelt not only a deep sense of patriotism,but they also felt that they had to provetheir patriotism, their loyalty to a thenungratefulnation.”The chairman said he derives anotherimportant lesson from the 442nd from ananecdote about one of the unit’s officers.When a Colonel Kim, a Korean-American, was told to transfer out of theunit because of a historical Korean-Japanese friction, he refused the order.“‘They are Americans. I am anAmerican. And together, we are going tofight for America,’” Mullen said, quotingKim.“In everything we do, every choice wemake,” Mullen continued, “we shouldstrive to make our communities and thisnation as rich and diverse as possible byliving up to the principles upon which theUnited States of America was founded.”
