Division Officer Lt. Mark Gackowski ispleased to report that the Naval Air StationPensacola’s E-28 Emergency RunwayArresting Gear Division passed its annualcertification with flying colors.

“My goal was to not only to pass the gearcert, but to correct all deficiencies to ensurethat safety guidelines and proper operationsare up to par and maintained,” Gackowskisaid.

Otherwise known as “Arresting Gear,”the division of 30-plus Sailors led byGackowski and maintenance leading chief

petty officer ABEC Daryl Pierce of theNASP Air Operations Department, hasbeen working around the clock for the lastfew months to prepare for certification,which was administered in the last week ofJanuary. Passing the certification proves thatNASP Arresting Gear is equipped to safelyarrest tailhook equipped aircraft, from T-45Goshawks to F/A-18s, in the event of anaborted takeoff or emergency landing –which is vital to overall operations.

The Carrier Airfield Support Unit(CAFSU) inspectors began work on Jan.29 and were prepared to spend the wholeweek inspecting the arresting gear, butNASP’s gear division was definitely pre-pared for them. With only two days ofinspection followed by review and train-ing, the inspectors apparently were morethan satisfied with what they saw.

Arresting Gear assistant leading pettyofficer ABE2 Jonathan Hollenbaugh saidall of the crew’s hard work paid off.

“Without the support of my workcen-ter, working the long hours and weekendsfor the past nine months, preparing all 12arresting gear engines, none of this couldhave been achievable,” he said. “And itpaid off, because not only did we pass, butwe had outstanding results and it showedbecause the inspectors were impressedbeyond their expectations.”

Naval flight officers celebrate 48 years of serviceBy Lt. Ransome SpringerVT-10

Feb. 8, 2013, marks the48th anniversary of thenaval flight officer (NFO)designator in the U.S.Navy. On Feb. 8, 1965,the designation of “navalaviation observer” waschanged to naval flightofficer (NFO), by Bureauof Personnel Instruction1210.4C, thereby makingit an unrestricted line offi-cer (URL) billet. Prior to1965, both enlisted andofficers served in the posi-tion of naval aviationobserver, responsible forthe duties of both currentNFO and aircrew.

At that time, eight sub-specialties were available:bombardier, controller,electric countermeasuresevaluator, navigator, inter-ceptor, photographer-nav-igator, tactical coordinatorand reconnaissance navi-gator. NFOs are wingedofficers that are nottrained as pilots to fly air-planes, but instead havenumerous other dutiesinvolved in completingtheir missions. All NFOsshare a common set offundamental skills thatenable them to be effec-tive warriors in the air.

These core capabilities areuniversally dispersedthrough the full spectrumof Tacair (Rhino/Growler/Prowler) and BigWing (Orion/Poseidon/Aries/Mercury/Hawkeye)communities, and consistof navigation, communi-cation and sensor/weaponsystem management.Equally important but notreadily apparent, all NFOsmust be knowledgeable ina myriad of enemy threatcapabilities and countertactics. Despite the con-stant nature of changethroughout the UnitedStates military and specif-ically naval aviation, NFOtraining has remainedconsistent in its qualityand location at Naval AirStation Pensacola.

All of the Navy’s NFOtraining is concentrated atTraining Air Wing Six(TraWing-6). All U.S.Navy and Marine Corpsstudent NFOs are trainedat TraWing-6.Additionally, TraWing-6is training NFOs fromGermany, Singapore andSaudi Arabia.

TraWing-6 is com-prised of two squadrons:the “Wildcats” of VT-10for primary and interme-diate training and the

“Sabrehawks” of VT-86for Advanced Tacair train-ing. In October 2013, the“Warbucks” of VT-4 willbe re-commissioned andjoin TraWing-6 to provideAdvanced training for BigWing NFOs.

All NFO students enterVT-10 where they fly theT-6A Texan II in their pri-mary phase of flight train-ing. After graduationfrom primary, studentswho select the P-3COrion, P-8A Poseidon EP-3 Aries or E-6B Mercuryprogress immediately totheir respective fleetreplacement squadron(FRS) for specific plat-form training. The P-3/P-8 community mission isprimarily long-range anti-

submarine warfare(ASW), anti-surface war-fare (ASuW) and intelli-gence/surveillance andreconnaissance (ISR).The E-6B’s mission is toprovide communicationsrelay and to be a strategicairborne command postaircraft. Students who areselected to fly in the E-2CHawkeye remain withTraWing-6 for intermedi-ate training where they flythe T-39G/N Saberliner.At the completion ofintermediate training,those who select E-2Cmove on to the FRSsquadron. The E-2 com-munity mission is to pro-vide carrier-based tacticalbattle management withairborne early warning

and command and con-trol.

Students selected fortactical air communitiesalso complete intermedi-ate training in the T-39,but continue to VT-86 foradvanced training.While in VT-86, studentsfly the T-39G/NSaberliner and T-45CGoshawk. Followingtheir winging, NFOsselect either the FA-18FSuper Hornet or the EA-18G Growler. The FA-18F NFO position isknown as the weaponssystem officer (WSO)with the mission of bothair to air and air toground strike warfare.The EA-18G NFO posi-tions are designated as

electronic warfare offi-cers (EWOs) with themission of electronicattack via a vast array ofsensors and weaponswhich provide thewarfighter with a lethaland survivable weaponsystem to counter currentand emerging threats.The future of NFO train-ing holds even morechanges.

TraWing-6 is undergo-ing a major shift in itscurriculum as they phaseout the aging T-39Sabreliner and focusNFO training solely withthe T-6A and T-45C.With the addition of VT-4 later this year, allNFOs, regardless of plat-form, will complete theirtraining in TraWing-6and receive their wingsof gold before moving onto their respective FRSs.

This is the largest syl-labus shift in TraWing-6since it was commis-sioned in 1972. It willprovide a more focusedand efficient level oftraining and should ulti-mately produce bettertrained NFOs able tomove on to the fleet air-craft to execute whatevermissions they areassigned.

The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: theCentennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA.

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 Station News,the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. Agosport was a voice tube used by flight instruc-tors in the early days of naval aviation to giveinstructions and directions to their students.The name “Gosport” was derived fromGosport, England (originally God’s Port),where the voice tube was invented.

he said. “This training reinforces the Navy’s aggressivepolicy on getting these sorts of crimes reported, and thecorrective action for everyone involved. While it takesall hands to ensure a ship can deploy and all hands tomake sure a combat unit is ready, it takes all hands tomake sure that we look out for our shipmates.”

The SAPR-F training is designed to detail bystanderintervention, equipping Sailors with the knowledge and

skills necessary to engage, address and positively impactbehavior at the lowest level.

The interactive question-and-answer forum is manda-tory throughout the Navy, a standardized model designedto elicit an all-hands effort to reduce and ultimately elim-inate sexual assault crimes. With more than 580 reportedsexual assaults occurring in the Navy in Fiscal Year 2011,the Navy’s SAPR program was reevaluated, launchingits revamped program in June 2012.

NMOTC Commanding Officer, Capt. James Norton,

said the training provided the nearly 75 junior enlistedSailors in his command a different look at something thathas proved detrimental to a command environment in thepast.

“Sexual assault undermines the command’s integrityand ability to function,” he said. “When these sorts ofcrimes occur, the victim suffers, their shipmates suffer,and the command suffers. Every Sailor bears a responsi-bility to their shipmates to ensure they are part of anorganization that cannot tolerate these sorts of crimes.”

Another helpful feature of TOL is the “Blue Button.” The Blue Button allowspatients to have access to their personal health data such as outpatient medicationprofile, allergy profile and current medications available for refill. The Blue Buttonwill also show some laboratory results, though patients should contact their providerfor an explanation of the results.

When a patient needs to contact their provider, TOL allows for secure messagingbetween a patient and provider through RelayHealth. RelayHealth is a secure andHIPAA-compliant portal that allows patients to ask specific questions to theirprovider. Of course, patients can still call or schedule an office visit with a provider.

From Secretary of the Navy PAO

WASHINGTON (NNS) – Secretaryof the Navy Ray Mabus released thefollowing statement Jan. 24 on theWomen in Service Review.

“I fully support Secretary Panetta’sdecision to rescind the 1994 DirectGround Combat Definition andAssignment Rule, which removes bar-riers preventing women Sailors andMarines from reaching their potentialin certain fields.

“I am pleased the Navy has complet-ed an initiative I announced severalmonths ago to open up one of the fewareas not currently available to women,that of service on Virginia-class sub-marines (SSNs). Three years ago weannounced a policy change allowingwomen to serve in guided-missileattack (SSGNs) and ballistic missilesubmarines (SSBNs) and this is aplanned continuation of that effort.

“Along with the changes alreadybeing made in the submarine force,

rescinding the Direct Ground Combatand Assignment Rule allows Navy toexpand opportunities for women in ourriverine forces and in Navy billets thatdirectly support Marine infantry opera-tions like hospital corpsman and chap-lains.

“The Marine Corps has alreadyopened officer and staff noncommis-sioned officer billets in unrestrictedmission occupational specialties inground combat units that were previ-ously closed to women such as artillery,

armor, low altitude air defense andcombat engineer battalions. We willcontinue to seek female volunteers totrain at the Infantry Officer Course toprepare women to serve in the infantryas part of a comprehensive researchplan that will inform the Marine Corps’implementation plan.

“Women continue to serve bravelyand honorably at sea and ashore.Drawing from their talent in additionalassignments increases our ability tomaintain readiness.”

GOSPORT COMMENTARYBy Gil ChaseNavy-Marine Corps Relief Societyvolunteer

In a little more than amonth, the annual Active-Duty Fund Drive in support ofthe Navy-Marine CorpsRelief Society(NMCRS) willbegin. This annu-al fund drive, asyou may know,is the source offunds thatNMCRS useseach year to assistSailors, Marines andtheir families. As usual,all active-duty Sailors andMarines will be asked to con-tribute. Some will, and somewon’t, for various reasons. Asa retired Navy guy and volun-teer with NMCRS, I’ve heardmany of the reasons (andexcuses), but the most oftenrepeated one is, “I’ll neverneed their help.”

Well, maybe so, and maybenot. The fact is, that approxi-mately 20 percent of all serv-ice members on active dutywith the Navy and MarineCorps, need assistance fromNMCRS; that is about one out

of every five. During2011, NMCRS assist-

ed 96,061 Sailors,Marines and theirfamilies and indoing so, pro-vided $48 mil-lion in financial

assistance. InPensacola alone,

NMCRS processed2,376 financial cases

and provided $976,656 infinancial assistance. So, say-ing “I’ll never need help fromNMCRS,” may not always bethe case.

You might be a great moneymanager and you may notspend money foolishly, butunplanned things can happento all of us. What will you do

if your wife suddenly needsthousands of dollars in dentalwork, or you need four newtires, or a new transmissionand you have nothing saved?How about if you have to goon emergency leave and can’tafford the travel expenses?These things have happened tothose we have helped andcould happen to you (or a verydear friend).

Even if you never have tocall on NMCRS, some of yourshipmates or fellow Marines,surely will; and your donationmight help them and/or theirfamily. Look at the 2011 sta-tistics and ask yourself, whothe 2,376 people were whoneeded nearly $1 millionworth of assistance. For sure,it was a Sailor or Marine or afamily member. One or moreof them may have been afriend.

So, please think again aboutwhy you can’t donate? Youmay never need to borrow that

donation, but a shipmate orfellow Marine may desperate-ly need the assistance. Youknow, a small monthly dona-tion might cost less than afancy cup of coffee.

Isn’t it great to know thatNMCRS is all about Sailorsand Marines helping Sailorsand Marines? You and yourfriends might consider donat-ing for just that reason, if forno other. Keep in mind that theNavy-Marine Corps ReliefSociety is not federally fundedand does not receive a share ofthe Combined FederalCampaign funds.

Navy-Marine Corps ReliefSociety serves and supportsyou – Sailors and Marines –because you defend us, ourfreedoms and our very way oflife.

Contributions to theNMCRS are fully deductibleunder Section 170(b)(1)(a) ofthe IRS Code. The NMCRS isexempt from federal income

tax under Section 501(c)(3) ofthe tax code.

Founded in 1904, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Societyis a private, non-profit charita-ble organization. It is spon-sored by the Department of theNavy and operates nearly 250offices ashore and afloat atNavy and Marine Corps basesthroughout the world. TheNMCRS was incorporated inthe District of Columbia andhas its headquarters inArlington, Va. It is managedby a board of directors whosemembers are active duty orretired members of the navalservices, or spouses of activeduty or retired members of thenaval services.

The Pensacola office of theNavy-Marine Corps ReliefSociety, located aboard NASPensacola in Bldg. 191 at 91Radford Blvd., is open from8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays(except for holidays) and canbe reached at 452-2300.

Fleet air traffic controllers trainonboard NASP before deployment

During the two weeks theywere at the training center,George Washington crew mem-bers worked as a team to preparefor their upcoming springdeployment.

NATTC instructors led the airtraffic control watch teamsthrough complex scenarios,specifically designed for theirship, in the Carrier Air TrafficControl Center (CATCC) simu-lators at NATTC’s Air Traffic

Control schoolhouse. “It’s important to receive this

type of training at NATTC,” saidNATTC instructor AC3 TraceyWalker. “These sessions bring asense of camaraderie and goodmorale before the teams go outon deployment.”

The purpose of the simulatorscenarios was to challenge theteams and help them regain theproficiency that may have beenlost since their last deployment

in late 2012. CATTC trainingscenarios are designed to bemore complex than situations

normally encountered under-way.

“This training has been aninvaluable refresher for ourwatch-standers,” said Lt.j.g.James Williams, GeorgeWashington’s carrier controlwatch officer. “Observing howwell the controllers performed inthe simulators will help us deter-mine what stations our person-nel will fill on the watch-quarter-and-station bill during the nextdeployment.”

Since its commissioning in1942, NATTC has been com-mitted to training technicalexperts for the Naval AviationEnterprise. NATTC graduatesapproximately 15,000 Navy andMarine students annually. Themajority of the student popula-tion is made up of enlisted per-sonnel attending “A” schools,where they earn the skills andknowledge required to performas technicians at the apprenticelevel. Advanced schools providehigher level technical knowl-

edge for senior petty officers andspecialty schools offer specificskills not particular to any onerating, such as airman apprenticetraining, maintenance, personalfinancial management and ship-board aircraft firefighting.NATTC also conducts technicaltraining for officers in aviationfuels, carrier air traffic controlcenter operations, amphibiousair traffic control center opera-tions, aircraft launch and recov-ery equipment, and shipboardaircraft fire fighting.

Additionally, NATTC sup-ports the fleet by providing teamtraining to ships personnel dur-ing their pre-deployment work-ups, to ensure that shipboardpersonnel have the proficiencyrequired to take their ship ondeployment, after a prolongedperiod in port.

Military Kids website also helps parents, educatorsFrom National Center for Telehealth and Technology

(NNS) – The Defense Department website for mili-tary children has added new features to help parents andeducators explain difficult topics of the military lifestyleto children.

Since its launch in January 2012,MilitaryKidsConnect.org has served more than 125,000visitors and won five industry excellence awards. Tomark the one-year anniversary, the website added newcontent designed for children, parents and educators,officials said.

The new features include:• Military culture videos and lesson plans for teachers,

school counselors, and educators to better understand the

differences between military and civilian youth;• Graphic novels and mini-documentaries by military

kids sharing their experiences;• New modules for children and parents on handling

grief, loss and physical injury.The website, created by the Defense Department’s

National Center for Telehealth and Technology, knownas T2, uses innovative ways to help military youth copewith the unique strains of military life. In addition to dis-ruptions from parents deploying to assignments awayfrom home, military children are affected by moving fre-quently, changing schools and making new friends. Theyalso have to live with readjustment issues when a parentreturns from deployments. These issues may includepost-traumatic stress and physical disabilities.

“After watching the interaction with kids onMilitaryKidsConnect this past year, we saw many con-versations about trying to understand the issues they livewith,” said Dr. Kelly Blasko, T2 psychologist. “Wedeveloped the added features to help parents and teach-ers answer the questions the kids were sharing with eachother.”

Blasko said the website is continuing to add featuresand information to military children with the specialchallenges of living in a military family. Separations,moving and changing friends frequently may be unusu-al for civilian children, but it’s a normal lifestyle for mil-itary children. The website helps them live in that worldand, hopefully, makes it more fun for them, Blaskoadded.

Beach gets a helping hand from NHP

Navy Lt. Jason Brough,APU/PACU nurse, of CorpusChristi, Texas, organized thebeach clean-up after noticing thehard-to-reach area during his fre-quent fishing trips to the beachalong Perdido Key.

“There are portions of JohnsonBeach that are easily accessibleby car, but as you go out towardsFort (McRee) there’s no road, soit’s only accessible by boat,”Brough said as he explained thecircumstances that led him toorganize the beach clean-up.“Several of (the hospital staff)fish and do activities on the waterand we just noticed that this was apart of the beach (that neededsome attention) and it’s difficultto get to for your average beachcomber.”

Brough then contacted National

Park Service officials at GulfIslands National Seashore to seewhat he could do about the beach.After receiving information aboutthe wildlife and their habitat in thearea, he was given the “OK” toproceed with the clean-up effortfrom the organization.

“Lt. Brough asked several ofthe staff, enlisted and officersalike, if they would like to partici-pate in giving back to the commu-nity in the form of a beach clean-up,” said Lt. j.g. Sarah Carmack,APU/PACU nurse, of Willoughby,Ohio. “It’s just nice to be able tokeep the areas and attractionsclean.”

On the morning of the clean-up,approximately 25 members of thehospital’s APU and PACU, alongwith family members, met atSherman Cove onboard Naval Air

Station Pensacola to board boatsthat would shuttle them out to thebeach.

“It was a lot of plastic bottles,beer cans, beer bottles and allmanner of debris like that,” saidBrough. “There was some house-hold debris, but probably the odd-est piece we found was a completeporcelain toilet.”

After collecting several largebags of trash, the volunteers gath-ered for a planned picnic as athank you for the effort givenfrom everyone involved.

When asked about the successof the outing Brough said, “It wasa lot of fun and we’re looking for-ward to doing it again. We arecontemplating, as a unit, doing anadopt-a-beach and adopting thatstretch of the beach to do on a reg-ular basis.”

than the previous home of the rentalequipment.

“I am really excited to be closer to mywarehouse and in a bigger location,especially one that will be easier to findby the patrons,” Arbogast said. “Ibelieve this change shows that we arecommitted to serve our customers by

providing them the best products available.” Outdoor recreation is responsible for the popular

Outdoor Adventure Program at Whiting Field. TheOutdoor Adventure Program, OAP, is designed to intro-duce participants to outdoor recreation opportunitiesthrough trips, educational programs, seminars and gearrentals.

ciation and concern for our natural environment, meetnew people and have a great time. From indoor climb-ing, to multi-day hiking, biking and paddling trips, theOAP has something for everyone.

The outdoor recreation programs build a sense ofcommunity, promote skill development and provide forstress relief and enjoyment while conserving and pro-tecting wildlife, forests, wetlands and other naturalresources.

‘THROW ME SOMETHING MISTER!’Beads • Floats • Revelry •Mardi Gras fun and festivities on the Gulf Coast

What’s the storybehind Mardi Gras?

As a major holiday inparts of Europe andSouth America, the

celebration dates back to 1703when the tiny French colony ofMobile, Ala., observed NorthAmerica’s first Mardi Gras.

The Cowbellion de Rakin society took loudly tothe streets in 1830 armed with rakes, hoes and cow-bells plundered from a hardware store and no doubtlater kept the feast with whatever food and drinkthey had. Although they marched on New Year’sEve and not Fat Tuesday, it was a true antecedent ofMardi Gras in Mobile and the first mystic societies,which were later formed in the 1830s. Later, in 1857,the Mobile members of the Cowbellian de RakinSociety traveled to New Orleans and assisted withthe formation of the Mystic Krewe of Comus, to thisday New Orleans’ most prestigious Mardi Gras soci-ety. From these early roots grew the wonderfulMardi Gras celebrations found today in the PortCity.

The stress of the Civil War brought an end to theannual festivities in Mobile. After the war and underUnion occupation, the city was disillusioned anddiscouraged. On the afternoon of Fat Tuesday in1866, Joseph Stillwell Cain set out to raise the spir-its of Mobile. He donned Chickasaw Indian regalia,called himself “Chief Slacabormorinico,” climbedaboard a decorated coal wagon pulled by a mule andheld a one-float parade through the streets ofMobile. Mardi Gras with all its frivolity was reborn.

Cain founded many of the mystic societies andbuilt a tradition of Mardi Gras parades, which con-tinue today. In fact, he is remembered each year onJoe Cain Day, which is the Sunday before AshWednesday. Known as “the people’s day,” MardiGras revelers decorate anything they can push, pullor drag for the Joe Cain procession and parade,which is as much fun to watch as it is to ride. Cainhimself participated in each year’s festivity until hedied at age 72.

You could be Cajun if ...You can pronounce Tchoupitoulas but have troublespelling it (also, Thibideaux, Opelousas, Ponchartrain,Ouachita, and Atchafalaya).

When giving directions you use words such as “uptown,”“downtown,” “backatown,” “riverside,” “lakeside,” “otherside of the bayou” or “other side of the levee ...”

You don’t worry when you see ships riding higher in theriver than the top of your house.

Every so often, you have waterfront property.

You judge a po-boy by the number of napkins used.

You don’t learn until high school that Mardi Gras is not anational holiday.

You’re not afraid when someone wants to “ax you some-thing.”

The four seasons in your year are: crawfish, shrimp, craband King Cake.
