Theproject is scheduled for completion inJune 2011.“ARRA funds are being used to forthree projects totaling $69.34 million atmilitary installations in Florida,Mississippi and Texas,” said Poe. “Thepurpose is to help Navy installationsreach their energy goals and reducedependency on foreign oil.”Onboard NAS Pensacola, the twobuildings –– Bldgs. 3910(Unaccompanied Enlisted PersonnelFirst-ever X-Fit Fest 2010, considered a hitA Marine pulls a tire during the tire pulling event at theStrongman/Strongwoman competition.

Thetotal cost of the project –– $2.63 million–– includes the repair work as well asthe photovoltaic installation.The power created with the roofmountedsolar panels will augment thebuildings’ energy use. The same sunnydays that heat buildings up are alsogood days for generating electricitywith photovoltaic systems, according toPoe.Less use of electricity generated fromfossil fuels means less greenhouse gasand acid rain emissions. Each kilowatthoursaved will eliminate 1.5 pounds. ofsulfur dioxide and .25 pounds of carbonmonoxide emissions.Florida was awarded a total of $34.7million for their photovoltaic projectBy Bob ThomasDirector Navy Wellness and Family FitnessCenterLast month kicked off the first-ever X-FitFest hosted by MWR. The five eventsincluded a gauntlet race, a 2,000-meter rowingtime trial, Strongman/ Strongwoman,X-Baseball and speed and agility competition.The events were contested throughoutthe day by more than 160 competitors tryingto win one of the engraved X-Fit 2010steins.Thirteen four-person teams started theday at 6 a.m. on the Gauntlet Race. Theteams had to overcome running with a 20pound medicine ball, completing high numbersof pull ups and covering 400 metersexecuting walking lunges with that samemedicine ball over their heads. The overallwinning team made the drive down fromCorry Station to take part in X-Fit.Strongman/Strongwoman was designedby Nicole Gilchrist on the same lines as theWorld Championship event that is broadcastevery year by ESPN. “I changed my individualevents a couple of times,” Gilchristsaid, “I wanted to provide a real challenge.Something that the competitors would haveto dig deep for, not just give a token effort.”Held across from the Radford FitnessCenter, Strongman/Strongwoman attracteda lot of onlookers on their way to and fromtheir workouts.which includes 15 facilities at NAS KeyWest, one facility at NAS Orlando, twofacilities at NAS Whiting Field, threefacilities at NS Mayport, two facilitiesat NAS Panama City, four facilities atNAS Jacksonville, and the two facilitiesat NAS Pensacola. The total combinedsavings for the 29 facilities in Floridawill be about 4,837 megawatt-hours ofelectricity.Texas was awarded $20.8 million tofor its photovoltaic project whichincludes 10 facilities, six at NASCorpus Christi and four at NASKingsville for a combined savings of2,829 megawatt-hours of electricity.Mississippi was awarded $13.8 millionfor their photovoltaic project whichwill include four facilities at NASMeridian and nine facilities at NCBCGulfport for a combined savings of1,734 megawatt-hours of electricity.The 2,000-meter rowing time trial washeld throughout the day vice the scheduledtime slots that the other four events conformedto. It was also the only event thatallowed walk ups. “I was very pleased withthe number of competitors,” Lu Desteli,rowing coach and fitness trainer for the fitnesscenter said. Destili was able to hook allthe rowers together so that each competitorcould see where they were against the othersduring the race.X-Fit 2010 finished in the evening hourswith two events, run side by side, that werecompletely opposite in their design. X-Baseball was a high intensity, total body gofor everything for 20 minutes. The Speedand Agility Competition consisted of twotimed runs each with an average duration of40 to 45 seconds.Both accomplished their purpose. “Wehad seen the X-Baseball at the CrossfitGames,” said Shiela Brand, event designer.“We do a lot of similar exercises in ourFunctional Fitness Classes at PortsideFitness Center, so we knew it would go overwell.”Competitors, event designers and eventhelpers all agreed that this was the type ofevent they wanted to see more of.Whether it is done again as an entire day,or with only one or two of the events, or ifsome of the events are combined into a singlelarger one there will be more X-Fit style competitionin the future from MWR fitness.(Left) As part of the Gauntlet Race, Sailors and Marines participate in box jumps.(Right) Lt.

GOSPORTMarch 19, 2010PAGE5Local Medal of Honor recipient to speak at PJC ceremony March 25By Mike O’ConnorGosport Associate EditorWhen Robert M. Patterson had a tiffwith his girlfriend back in 1966, hedecided he’d get back at her by joiningthe Army. History doesn’t record what the girlthought when President Richard M. Nixon hung theMedal of Honor around Patterson’s neck Oct. 9, 1969.Pace resident and Medal of Honorrecipient, Patterson is scheduled to appearas a guest speaker at Pensacola JuniorCollege (PJC)’s second annual Medal ofHonor Day ceremony March 25.Other speakers at the ceremony willinclude Pensacola Mayor Mike Wiggins;PJC President Ed Meadows; and Col.Bruce H. McClintock, commander 96th AirBase Wing, Eglin Air Force. Sue Straughn,of WEAR Channel 3, will be the master ofceremonies for the event.Patterson, who originally hails fromFayetteville, N.C., moved to Pace recentlyafter retiring from 26 years service in theU.S. Army and a further career in theVeterans Administration.He’s low-key about speaking at theupcoming Medal of Honor Day ceremoniesMarch 25.“I’m one of the laid-back guys,” Pattersonsaid, with a laugh. “I understand the reasonwhy they established a Medal of Honor day;it’s to encourage patriotism. I’ll talk to anybody– I love talking to high school kids (especially),I can relate to them.”Patterson was himself a senior in highschool in 1966, when a verbal altercationwith a former girlfriend set him on theroad to Vietnam.“I was the proverbial one in the ‘she tickedme off and I showed her’ story,” Pattersonrecalled. “Had a fight with my girlfriend on aSunday night and I went and showed her; Ijoined the Army Monday morning. I have noidea what happened to that girl.”After basic training and advanced infantrytraining, he found himself assigned to the82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg inNorth Carolina. Shortly after, he receivedorders to Vietnam and a transfer to the 17thCavalry Regiment, a ground cavalry asset.Patterson received the Medal of Honor forhis actions in combat May 6, 1968, near LaChu, Republic of Vietnam (see sidebar, right).Months later, he was taken by surprise by theorder to get on a flight to Washington, D.C., forthe award of the medal from President Nixon.“To tell you the truth I was about in a dazethe whole time (meeting Nixon). I remembermeeting him, and luckily, I had a major andtwo captains that were receiving their medalsat the same time. So being an E-5, I let themtake the political elbow-rubbing and I justenjoyed it. I thought, ‘I’m a poor old countryboy, what am I doing at the White House?’”Patterson found it hard to have a “normal”Army career after receiving theMedal of Honor. “You really can’t topthat. I found myself working twice asRobert M. Pattersonhard as anybody (trying).”“I knew a World War II Medal of Honorrecipient up in North Carolina named GeddieHerring, mayor of a little town namedRoseburl,” he said. “When I received mymedal, he took me to the side and said, ‘Let metell you something right now. It is a lot harderto wear that ribbon than it was to receive it.’”Being the focus of attention – evenscrutiny – has been one of the responsibilitiesthat came with the medal thatHerring warned Patterson of.“I was in one unit for six months beforeanyone knew it (being a MOH recipient)except the first sergeant,” Pattersonrecalled. “Everybody wants to buy you adrink; that’s not what you want.”He doesn’t mind sharing his story,though, if he can help influence others.“I encourage (young people) to stay inschool and go on to college,” Patterson said.“I tell them about some of the scholarshipsthat I know about that are out there. I camefrom a very poor family. Daddy was a carpenterand a sharecroppper on the side; wehad nothing. And if I had listened to peoplethat told me what I was going to be for therest of my life, I’d have been a day laborer.“So I always encourage others to strive fortheir dreams, and to never give up.”Citation:The President of the United States inthe name of the Congress takes pleasurein presenting the Medal of Honor toRobert Martin Patterson:“For conspicuous gallantry andintrepidity in action at the risk of his lifeabove and beyond the call of duty. Sgt.Patterson (then Spec. 4) distinguishedhimself while serving as a fire teamleader of the Third Platoon, Troop B,during an assault against a NorthVietnamese Army battalion which wasentrenched in a heavily fortified position(near La Chu, Republic ofVietnam, May 6, 1968).“When the leading squad of the thirdPlatoon was pinned down by heavyinterlocking automatic weapon androcket propelled grenade fire from twoenemy bunkers, Sgt. Patterson and thetwo other members of his assault teammoved forward under a hail of enemyfire to destroy the bunkers with grenadeand machine gun fire. Observing thathis comrades were being fired on froma third enemy bunker covered byenemy gunners in one-man spiderholes, Sgt. Patterson, with complete disregardfor his safety and ignoring thewarning of his comrades that he wasmoving into a bunker complex, assaultedand destroyed the position.“Although exposed to intensivesmall arm and grenade fire from thebunkers and their mutually supportingemplacements. Sgt. Patterson continuedhis assault upon the bunkers whichwere impeding the advance of his unit.Sgt. Patterson single-handedlydestroyed by rifle and grenade fire, fiveenemy bunkers, killed eight enemy soldiersand captured seven weapons.“His dauntless courage and heroisminspired his platoon to resumethe attack and to penetrate the enemydefensive position. Sgt. Patterson’saction at the risk of his life hasreflected great credit upon himself,his unit and the U.S. Army.”

The unit will celebrate the milestoneApril 28-29 and are looking for formersquadron members to help mark the occasion.“We want to bring alumni back to the squadron tosee how things have changed and to see what thefuture holds for VT-3,” Lt. Nicholas Scerbo, VT-3public affairs officer, said.The Red Knights are planning a series of events duringthe two-day celebration to have fun, and to sharesea stories about the unit. Their squadron is preparinga “legacy hall” with a painted mural and photos denotingthe history of the squadron and the three aircraftthey have flown – the T-28 Trojan, the T-34Turbomentor and the new T-6B Texan. Following thewelcome ceremony and a tour of the squadron spacesApril 29, VT-3 will have a ribbon cutting of the newhall at 4 p.m. All alumni and instructor pilots will thenbe invited to an evening social.The next day will start off with a four-man scramblegolf tournament or trip to the National NavalAviation Museum. A black-tie 50th anniversary gala,highlighted by Navy Band New Orleans, tops offApril 30s’ events.“For us as current instructor pilots, hearing how itwas back in the day and sharing stories with previouspilots will be incredibly interesting,” Scerbo said.VT-3 was commissioned on May 1, 1960, at SouthWhiting Field. Its primary mission at the time was toinstruct student naval aviators in radio instruments,formation flying and air-to-air gunnery. Air-to-airgunnery was discontinued in January 1965 and familiarizationand basic instrument training was added inits place. VT-3 moved to its present location at NorthWhiting Field in 1973 where it has been ever since.The squadron was one of the early units selected tobe alternately commanded by a Navy or MarineCorps officer beginning in 1980. The Red Knightswere honored again in 1994 when they became theNavy's first and only joint primary flight trainingsquadron. The first Air Force instructors reported inFebruary 1994 and the first Air Force students followedin July of that same year. VT-3 now alternatesNavy and Air Force commanding officers. Thesquadron will be the first unit to switch over to trainingin the T-6B Texan and is currently in preparationto begin that training pipeline.The unit has been a stalwart in the training of navalaviators throughout its history and VT-3 wants to celebratethe men and women who have made that missionsuccessful through the years.Reservations to attend or questions about the eventshould be referred to Sue Anctil atsue.anctil@navy.mil or via phone at 623-7321.Information will be updated on the squadron’s Website at https://www.cnatra.navy.mil/tw5/vt3/anniversary.asp.Walsh turns over command to VandiverBy Jay CopeNAS Whiting Field PAOTraining Air WingFive observed achange at the helmMarch 18 at 1 p.m. inthe Naval Air StationWhiting Field auditoriumas Col.

Theyrequire a plan. To maintain a healthy lawn, do what thelawn care pros do and develop a turf health care planthat includes proper mowing, watering, fertilizing andpest treatments. These fundamental steps are the foundationof an integrated health care plan for a beautiful,enjoyable lawn.Mowing: Turf pros mow at least weekly. Frequentmowing minimizes leaf area removal, which createsless shock to turfgrass. It also helps grasses tiller,meaning new offspring plants grow next to parentplants, leading to a denser, healthier lawn.Start by sharpening your mower blade and put it towork frequently. Dull blades tear turf, and turf damagemakes grass tips more susceptible to disease andTurf pros mow at least weekly. Frequent mowingminimizes leaf removal, which creates less shock toturfgrass.Growing your own produce is one way to ensure what youʼre using is fresh, organic and availablewhen you need it. Photo by Mike OʼConnorinsects. Sharp blades make clean cuts, which healquickly and are less prone to pests.Watering: Watering is crucial for healthy lawns. Doit early in the morning for two smart reasons. First, 30percent of watering during a hot day simply evaporates.Second, morning watering allows the sun to drythe tips of the blades, which reduces the amount oftime the turfgrass foliage stays wet. That’s good news,since diseases and insects are most destructive inmoist plant material, so don’t water at night when thetop of the lawn will stay wet for many hours.Fertilizing: Stimulate grass growth by applying afertilizer when turfgrass is actively growing. Nutrientsin fertilizer typically include nitrogen, phosphorus andpotassium and levels of each, such as 5-10-20, appearon packaging. In this case, the 5-10-20 fertilizer wouldhave 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphorus and 20percent potassium.A balanced fertilizer such as 5-10-20 promotesstrong roots for the fall and winter months.Treating for pests: Plants – like people – can getsick. For example, grass can suffer from environmentalstress that creates conditions for pest pressure. Iflawn disease strikes, medication treatments in theform of pesticides are required to nurse the plant backto health.To control weed pests, such as dandelions andclover, sedges and grassy weeds including crabgrass,treat your lawn with a pre-emergent herbicide. As thename implies, pre-emergent herbicides inhibit weedgrowth before weeds emerge.If weeds emerge over time, treat them with a postemergentherbicide. Always consult specific pesticideproduct labels for restrictions, rates, use sites and safetyinformation.Gosling GamesColor Me ‘Tulips’yogurt and granola.• Sprinkle some ground gingerinto a shrimp and vegetablestir-fry.• Chop a tablespoon ofthyme and rosemary into youromelet.• Make your own hummus,experimenting with differentamounts of cumin, coriander,red pepper and paprika.(Always experiment withsmaller amounts, such as onequarter teaspoon).• Try yellow curry in yourwhole-grain rice.• Sprinkle meats withthyme, rosemary or oregano.For more information aboutmaking healthy choices, visit“Ask the Dietitian” athttp://www.commissaries.comand post your questions on theDeCA Dietitian Forum.Helping yourgarden growwith the flow(NAPS) — Your gardencan be greener when yougive it the benefit of a dripirrigation system.Drip irrigation is the process of applying theappropriate amount of water slowly, evenly andefficiently to the root area of plants. This promotesproper soil moisture levels and healthy plantgrowth.With drip irrigation, you have the flexibility tocreate a drip design to meet the watering needs ofyour landscape areas. A drip line is easy to use bysimply placing it in your planting area. Whenequipped with professional-grade emitter tubing,the system waters plants uniformly.A drip line system:• Prevents weeds by watering each plant’s rootzone — not the surrounding soil;• Encourages faster growth by applying moisturedirectly to the root area;• Promotes longer-lasting blooms by properlywatering plants for optimum health;• Creates healthier plants by keeping water offfoliage so fungi cannot form; and• Saves water by irrigating in precise areaswhere necessary—eliminating overspray on sidewalksand fences with less evaporation.It helps to group plants by similar wateringneeds.

JospehKilkenny, NETC commander,and CherylLawson, Directorof CivilianPersonnelPrograms.Holleyremembersherfirst gener a lschedule(GS) positionand howmentorship waskey to her success.“Having a mentor made thedifference between my beinga lost employee and one thatwas comfortable within theorganization,” said Holley.“My mentor really wantedme to understand the organizationand where I fit in.That’s the type of mentorshipprogram we envisionfor NETC.”The NETC mentorshipprogram is targeted tobecome a staple of the command’sHR program, andnew GS employees will bepart of the official programfor a period of one year.Twenty volunteer mentorsattended the initial trainingand are currently beingpaired with newemployees.Following thementormenteematchup,the volunteerswillattendadditionaltraining asthey counciltheir mentees.For more newson the NavalEducation and TrainingCommand, visit the NETCWeb site at: https://www.netc.navy.mil.Command coins from NHPʼs CO ...
