The image on the left side of the nameplatedepicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss push-er bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan.18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USSBirmingham two months earlier after his planehad been loaded on the ship, the USSPennsylvania event was the first time a planelanded on and then took off from a U.S. war-ship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’smost modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 SuperHornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air StationNews, the name Gosport was adopted in1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flightinstructors in the early days of naval aviation togive instructions and directions to their stu-dents.

NADAP: Don’t be aregretful holiday host

From Navy PersonnelCommand Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn.(NNS) – Navy familiesneed to ensure they’replanning for the afterpartywhen considering plans fortheir holiday get-togethersaccording to Navy offi-cials.

With the holiday seasonhere, Navy leaders wantholiday party hosts tomake plans for guests toget home safely after-wards.

From Dec. 24, 2011, toJan. 2, 2012, there were 33driving while intoxicatedincidents involvingSailors.

“Depending on the lawsof your state, if you host aparty and serve alcohol,you could potentially belegally liable if an intoxi-cated party guest drivesaway and gets in an acci-dent,” said DoriceFavorite, director, NavyAlcohol and Drug AbusePrevention Office(NADAP). “There aresome steps you can takebefore, during, and after

your party to keep every-one safe.”

• Prepare for anovernight guest, or two –guest room; air mattressesand sleeping bags.

• Always have taxiphone numbers handy.

• Make sure you knowwho the designated driversare ahead of time, makesure the designated drivershave the keys and ensurethe designated drivers areparked where they are notblocked by other cars.

“If you plan activitieslike party games, doorprize drawings or a giftexchange you’ll engageyour guests,” said Favorite“They’ll be less likely todrink too much and they’llremember the great timethey had. You should alsoprovide plenty of food tokeep your guests fromdrinking on an emptystomach. Offer non-alco-holic beverages or mock-tails for designated driversand others who prefer notto drink alcohol.”

During the party makesure the designated driversdon’t drink and be aware

of who gets too drunk todrive. If someone has hadtoo much to drink, makesure they have a safe ridehome. Don’t let anyoneleave without your knowl-edge.

As the host, have fun –but not too much fun. Tobe a responsible host, youshould stay within yourlimits in order to makesure your guests stay with-in theirs. Close the bar 90minutes before the partyends and serve a greatdessert treat with coffee.Remember, only timesobers someone who hasbeen drinking.

“If, despite your efforts,some of your guests havehad too much to drink –take control,” saidFavorite. “Drive themhome, arrange for a ridewith another guest who issober, call a taxi, or insistthey stay over. A partyshould be a good time andnot something you regrethosting.”

spaceship back to Earth safely after an in-flight oxygentank explosion; Haise was Apollo 13’s LEM pilot.

The LEM model will be available for the public toview in the museum’s Hangar Bay One after the event,said museum spokesperson Shelley Ragsdale.

“It’s going to be a permanent exhibit at the museum,”she said. “We have an existing space exhibit on the sec-ond floor, but due to the sheer size of the LEM, it’s goingout here in Hangar Bay One.”

Bill Powers, production director with Digital Design,explained some of the background behind the LEMmodel. “We have documentation on the original, includ-ing photos, and a lot of drawings, which we used todesign it. It’s made of steel, aluminum and it will bewrapped with a lot of Mylar – if you’ve seen the reallunar landers, they had a crunchy aluminum foil-lookingmaterial, that’s the Mylar, around the base.” Antennasand finished detail work will follow after the LEM is

placed inside Hangar Bay One, Powers said. Apollo’s LEMs were used to ferry a crew of two astro-

nauts from lunar orbit down to the surface of the moonwhile the Command Service Module (CSM) remained inorbit. The LEM consisted of two parts, an ascent and adescent stage. The lower half or descent stage containedscientific equipment and remained on the moon; the tophalf of the LEM or ascent stage carried the crew and rocksamples back to the CSM. The ungainly craft, whichcould fly only in space, successfully carried six crews tothe surface and back during the moon missions of 1969-1972.

As Lovell and Haise are sure to recall, Apollo 13’sLEM even served as “lifeboat” of sorts, providing oxy-gen and electrical power to the crew during that flight’smishap.

More about the Salute to the Pioneers of Space:The National Naval Aviation Museum will celebrate

the achievements of the astronauts, engineers, scientistsand others who contributed to success in the space race

Dec. 15 with a series of events.From 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., there will be a panel on the

near-catastrophic flight of Apollo 13 including missioncommander James Lovell and Lunar Excursion Module(LEM) pilot Fred W. Haise.

A luncheon featuring guest speaker John Glenn (firstAmerican to orbit Earth) will be held from 11:45 a.m. to1 p.m.

From 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., a panel of astronauts andNASA officials will discuss the Mercury, Gemini andApollo programs.

From 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., there will be a reception fea-turing the unveiling of a full-scale replica of a the ApolloLEM followed by dinner with guests such as retiredNavy Capt. Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on themoon.

Red Lobster.• Access to the stores and restaurants in

the vicinity of TGI Friday’s on AirportBoulevard.

Service members in uniform travel free.Those with a military I.D. pay $2 for aone-way ride or $4 for a round trip.

ECAT General Manager Mary LouFranzoni said the improvements havebeen in the planning process for a longtime.

She said ECAT was awarded a service

development grant from the FloridaDepartment of Transportation in 2011.The grant was applied for in order toimprove the bus service for the militarystudents at Corry Station and NATTC.The grant will provide 50 percent of thefunding for as much as five years of serv-ice development.

“The 59 Express route was changed toenable the entire route to qualify for theservice development funding as well asbetter serve the riders,” Franzoni said.

Numbers were not available, butFranzoni said she believes that ridership

has increased on the 59 Express route thatserves the Cordova Mall and RaveTheatre.

The 59A and 59 Express routes werestarted in 2010, when students who didnot have transportation had no choice butto use taxicabs or find rides with studentswho had cars.

While military and civilians can ridethe routes, the purpose of the routes was togive military students a quick and eco-nomical way to get to other parts ofPensacola.

NASP Command Master Chief Mike

Dollen was one of the base leaders whosupported the creation of the bus routes.He is pleased to see the continued growth.

“I want thank ECAT for the incrediblesupport of the Sailors, Marines, Soldiersand Airmen training onboard NASPensacola and NASP Corry Station,” hesaid. “The 59 Express and the 59A havemade a significant positive impact on thequality of life of these service men andwomen.”

Clean water: everyone’s responsibilityFrom NavFac SE

Water, whether it travels through a gar-den hoses or it comes down from theskies, can run many different channelsand may carry numerous pollutants as itruns its path.

“Water is the one element that if con-trolled will find a way to continue itspath,” said Douglas Pojeky, Public WorksDepartment Gulfport stormwater pro-gram manager. “Water is used for somany things. We use it to wash dishes,cars, floors, driveways, etc. This is why itis important to manage where and how weuse it.”

Water follows a course whether prede-termine by humans or created by natureand runs clean or dirty based its course.

“The best deterrent to filtering all of thepollutants is through vegetation,” said

Pojeky. “Although the Earth has this nat-ural deterrent to pollutants it is still impor-tant for everyone to assist in the fightagainst erosion and pollution.”

Onboard NAS Pensacola, NavFac SEPublic Works Department EnvironmentalProtection Specialist Joelle O’Daniel-

Lopez pointed out some of the local con-siderations of water conservation.

“It may take many years but watermoves in cycles, and we are all down-stream from each other,” she said. “Wemust care for water to keep it clean for thenext life it touches. Special care is neededhere in the Western Panhandle where ourdrinking water is relatively near the sur-face and is recharged by rainfall, so thereis a greater potential for contaminants toimpact our drinking water.

“Rainfall also carries contaminants tosurface waters to impact the fish and shell-fish we here on the Gulf Coast love somuch. Also uncontrolled sediments fromstormwater can smother marine life,” shesaid.

O’Daniel-Lopez suggested the follow-ing tips to minimize impact on thisresource:

• Plant native trees and vegetate barespots in your yard to prevent erosion.Natives are adapted to their environmentand need less maintenance once estab-lished.

• Use fertilizers sparingly and avoidpesticides.

• Never dump anything down stormdrains.

• Direct downspouts away from pavedsurfaces preferably to your garden.

• Check cars for oil and fluid leaks andrepair as needed.

• Pick up after your pet.• Participate in local beach cleanup and

household hazardous waste roundupevents.

Service members receive trees for the holidays

Whiting Field named Tree City USA for 21st year

From NASWF PAO

The Trees for Troopsprogram once again pro-vided live Christmas treesto help make the spirit ofthe holiday season a littlebrighter for Sailors,Soldiers, Airmen, Marines

and Coast Guardsmen atNaval Air Station WhitingField.

About 100 trees weredelivered to the base forservice members to pickup free of charge.

This doubled what hadbeen delivered in the pasttwo years of the program.Most of the trees had newhomes within just an houror two of delivery All thetrees in the past have been

with a military family bythe end of the second dayof the program’s distribu-tion.

The base’s MoraleWelfare and Recreation(MWR) department coor-dinated the delivery of thetrees all three years.

“We are honored towork with The ChristmasSpirit Foundation, FedEx,area growers and baseleadership to help bringthese free Christmas Treesto our active-duty andactivated personnel fromthe area. It’s just anothersmall way we have ofthanking our troops andtheir families for theirservice and sacrifice asso-ciated with being in the

military,” Joe Vukovcan,NAS Whiting Field’sMWR director stated.

The trees were donatedby various tree growersacross the country incooperation with theChristmas SPIRITFoundation. Donationshelp offset the cost ofsome of the trees as wellas paying for the trans-portation of the trees viaFederal Express.

In all, more than 60military bases across thecountry receive treesthrough the programsfrom people who wish toexpress their appreciationfor the sacrifices militarymembers make throughtheir service.

More than 17,000 treeswill be distributed throughthe program, with at least350 going to forwarddeployed bases suchBagram Airfield inAfghanistan and camps inKuwait.

MWR, which super-

vised the distribution ofthe trees, coordinated withthe Trees for Troopsorganizers to bring theprogram to NAS WhitingField. This is the thirdyear the trees have beenavailable.

“This is such a greatprogram for our men andwoman service members.Like their mission state-ment says, ‘Delivering thespirit of Christmas to ourmilitary families, oneChristmas tree at a time.’It’s heartwarming to knowthat organizations likeTrees for Troops are outthere offering such greatsupport to our men andwomen in uniform, espe-cially during this mean-ingful time of year,” saidCapt. Matthew Coughlin,Whiting Field command-ing officer.

Active-duty military,reservists on active dutyor their immediate familymembers were eligible toparticipate in the program.

From NASWF PAO

For the 21st consecutive year,Naval Air Station (NAS)Whiting Field achieved desig-

nation from the National ArborDay Foundation as a Tree CityUSA for its dedication to con-servation and urban renewal.The base planted a tree to recog-

nize its completion of therequirements and to celebratethe accomplishment Dec. 4behind the base’s supply build-ing.

The Arbor Day Foundationpresents a proclamation andbanner to the command to rec-ognize the achievement. NASWhiting Field ExecutiveOfficer Cmdr. Jonathan Lewisthrew in the first shovelful ofdirt after Lt. Cmdr. Jason Kranzread the proclamation to theassembled guests. ProtectingNAS Whiting Field’s naturalresources is an important func-tion for the commanding offi-cer, and a role he takes serious-ly.

“Preservation and conserva-tion of our natural resources isimportant to the sustainability ofour mission here at NASWhiting Field and I appreciatebeing a part of a program thatrecognizes our support ofresponsible environmental

stewardship,” said Lewis.The ceremony was only the

final step in the process.Throughout the year, the NASWhiting Field NaturalResources team has to: ensurean allocated cost is directedtoward forestry projects (thishas to exceed $2 per person onthe base), maintain an urbanforestry ordnance and have aboard with regular meetings. Allof the requirements serve toraise the awareness of howimportant trees are to our socie-ty.

Not only do they provide anatural beauty, but trees alsogive shade, help to lower tem-peratures in urban areas,increase the oxygen level intheir areas and help to cleansepollutants from groundwaterand the air.

The ceremony was coordi-nated by Ron Cherry, the base’senvironmental programs man-ager, and served as one of the

highlights of his year.“Trees are the longest living

organisms on our planet and oneof the greatest natural renew-able resources. They keep ourair supply clean, enhance aes-thetic value, reduce noise pollu-tion, improve water quality,help prevent erosion, providefood and building materials,create shade, and make ourlandscapes more beautiful.Planting trees now helps ensurea promising future for NASWhiting Field,” he said.

Base forestry programs in2012 spent more than $80,000in maintenance for existingwoodlands and replaced eight to10 trees that were lost throughthe year through storm damage,disease or other causes. The liveoak planted Dec. 4 replacedsuch a tree. The amount invest-ed in maintenance was approxi-mately 10 times the necessaryamount to qualify for the pro-gram.

“This is such a great program forour men and women service mem-bers.”

Word Search ‘Ships at Pearl Harbor’

Last time I was hereAn elderly gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane.At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate hispassport in his carry on bag.“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the cus-toms officer asked sharply. The traveler admitted that hehad been to France previously.“Then you should know enough to have your passportready,” the customs man said.The American said, “Well, the last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”“That is impossible ... Americans always have to showtheir passports on arrival in France,” the Frenchman saidsnappily.The American senior gave the customs man a smile.“Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in1944 to help liberate this country,” he quietly explained,“I couldn’t find a single native resident to show a pass-port to.”

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giantand fill him with a terrible resolve.”

– attributed to Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, in the movie “Tora, Tora Tora.”

There is no historical proof Yamamoto ever wrote or uttered these words, however. In his biography of Yamamoto, “TheReluctant Admiral,” author Hiroyuki Agawa relates a somewhat smilar quote written by Yamamoto Jan. 9, 1941, toJapanese journalist Ogata Taketora: “A military man can scarcely pride himself on having ‘smitten a sleeping enemy’;it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing whatthe enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack.”

Eighteen months earlier,President Franklin D. Roosevelthad transferred the United Statesfleet to Pearl Harbor as a pre-sumed deterrent to Japaneseagression. The Japanese military,deeply engaged in the seeminglyendless war it had started againstChina in mid-1937, badly neededoil and other raw materials.Commercial access to these wasgradually curtailed as the con-quests continued.

In July 1941, theWestern powerseffectively haltedtrade with Japan.From then on, asthe desperateJapanese schemedto seize the oil andmineral-rich EastIndies and SoutheastAsia, a Pacific war wasvirtually inevitable.

By late November 1941, withpeace negotiations clearlyapproaching an end, informedU.S. officials (and they were

well-informed, they believed,through an ability to read Japan’sdiplomatic codes) fully expecteda Japanese attack into the Indies,Malaya and probably thePhilippines. Completely unantici-pated was the prospect that Japanwould attack east, as well.

The U.S. fleet’s Pearl Harborbase was reachable by an aircraftcarrier force, and the Japanesenavy secretly sent one across the

Pacific with greater aerialstriking power than had

ever been seen on theworld’s oceans. Itsplanes hit justbefore 8 a.m.Dec. 7. Within ashort time five of

eight battleships atPearl Harbor were

sunk or sinking, withthe rest damaged. Several

other ships and most Hawaii-based combat planes were alsoknocked out and more than 2,400Americans were dead. Soon after,Japanese planes eliminated much

of the American air force in thePhilippines and a Japanese Armyelement was ashore in Malaya.

These great Japanese success-es, achieved without prior diplo-matic formalities, shocked andenraged the previously dividedAmerican people into a level ofpurposeful unity hardly seenbefore or since. For the next fivemonths, until the Battle of theCoral Sea in early May, Japan’sfar-reaching offensives proceed-ed untroubled by fruitful opposi-tion. American and Allied morale

suffered accordingly. Under nor-mal political circumstances, anaccomodation might have beenconsidered.

However, the memory of the“sneak attack” on Pearl Harborfueled a determination to fight on.Once the Battle of Midway inearly June 1942 had eliminatedmuch of Japan’s striking power,that same memory stoked arelentless war to reverse its con-quests and remove its Germanand Italian allies as future threatsto world peace.

Story, photofrom Naval History & Heritage Command

The Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor,Hawaii, was one of the definingmoments in history. A single care-fully planned and well-executed

stroke removed the United States Navy’sbattleship force as a possible threat to theJapanese Empire’s southward expansion.America, unprepared and now consider-ably weakened, was abruptly brought intoWorld War II as a full combatant.

Sailors in a motor launch rescue a survivor from the water alongside the sunken USS WestVirginia (BB 48) during or shortly after the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor. Note the exten-sive distortion of West Virginia’s lower amidships structure, caused by torpedoes that explodedbelow that location.

BIRTHANNOUNCEMENTS

Story by Ens. Alexander PerrienNETC PAO

Naval Education TrainingCommand (NETC) announcedNov. 7 that Jeffrey Wells receivedan Organizational ProgramCoordinator Gold Award fromNaval Supply Systems Command(NavSup), for his superior per-formance as NETC’s GovernmentCorporate Purchase Card (GCPC)assistant program coordinator(APC).

Wells provides policy guidance,day-to-day management and over-sight of NETC’s GCPC program.The program is the latest evolutionof the “Procurement Reform”executive order issued in 1982.Implemented across theDepartment of Defense, theGCPC program aims to streamlinepurchase and payment systems,and provide automated card man-agement, reconciliation and pay-ment tools.

According to Doug Ebner, theDepartment of the Navy’s pur-chase card program manager forNavSup, recognition for superiorleadership in the GCPC programis given in three levels: bronze,silver and gold, each highlightingleadership and management in theGCPC program. Close oversightis essential to the success of theprogram.

“Such a large amount of

money requires scrupuloussupervisors to ensure the moneyis being used properly,” saidEbner. “The GovernmentCorporate Purchase Card is atwo-edged sword, it’s easy to buythings, and it’s easy to buythings. That’s really why we havethese program coordinators, toensure that the internal controlsare in place, and the command-ers, who have ultimate accounta-bility for the purchase card, haveeyes and ears in the field.”

As the gold awardwinner, Wells wasselected out of a fieldof 400 candidatesrepresenting 20major commands.

“This award was acombination of effortsfrom those both aboveand below me in the chain ofcommand,” said Wells. “I’m justhappy that my folks in the fieldget some recognition for all theirhard work, and they are as mucha part of the award as I am.”

His work lead, Joseph Yudiski,supply systems analyst, believesWells is an invaluable part of theNETC logistics and staff supplydepartment.

“The gold recognition meansthat Mr. Wells’ domain, consistingof 134 subordinate commandswithin NETC, is receiving thebest support and guidance avail-

able Navywide,” said Yudiski.“We are thrilled to have himaboard.”

The GCPC is used, according toWells, for everything from officesupplies, to janitorial supplies, tocopier rentals and cell phones. TheNETC domain alone, a portion ofwhich Wells oversees, spendsapproximately $100 million a yearthrough the GCPC program.

“For as many cards as we havein the domain, we don’t have a lot

of misuse and abuse,” saidWells. “The misuse we do

see is from a lack ofproper training withthe card, not fromnegligence … youhave to give peoplethe guidance (for the

card) and make sureyou enforce it.”

Wells became a civil ser-vant in April 2009 after spending20 years in the Navy as an aviationstorekeeper, serving several yearswith the Blue Angels, the Navy’sflight demonstration team.
