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 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. The name “Gosport” was derived fromGosport, England (originally God’s Port),where the voice tube was invented.

Each and every leader shouldensure this critical program is fullyexplained to our Sailors and Marines toensure they know the importance ofgiving, and so they know there is aplace to go for assistance.”

The NMCRS is designed to providefinancial, educational and other variousforms of assistance to members of theNaval Services of the United States, eli-gible family members and survivors inneed. Founded in 1904, the NMCRS is

a private non-profit charitable organiza-tion, sponsored by the Department ofthe Navy and operating in nearly 250offices ashore and afloat at Navy andMarine Corps bases throughout theworld.

According to NAS PensacolaNMCRS Director Mark Harden,NMCRS programs are funded solelythrough charitable contributions, withthe bulk of the program’s working cap-ital coming through the secretary of theNavy-supported annual fund drive.Harden reports that nearly $1 million infinancial assistance was provided toroughly 2,400 financial cases in thePensacola area in 2011.

NMOTC Administrative Officer andNavy and Marine Corps Relief Society

2013 NAS Pensacola coordinator Lt.Dawn Torrusio, said the NMCRS iscommitted to ensuring all availableresources are used to assist NavalServices personnel – active, retired, andtheir eligible family members – toachieve financial self-sufficiency andfind solutions to emergency needs.

“Donors to this wonderful organiza-tion can rest confident that any moneythey choose to donate during this year’s2013 fund drive will go to Sailors andMarines who are in a time of need,” shesaid. “Our goal is to raise more than lastyear’s total of $323,000 during the six-week fund drive, and to make sureevery Sailor or Marine who needs somekind of assistance is aware of what theNMCRS does and knows how to utilize

the NMCRS.”In addition to the interest-free loans

and grants, the NMCRS offers assis-tance in times of financial need, schol-arships and interest-free loans for edu-cation, financial counseling, Budget forBaby Workshops, thrift shops and visit-ing nurse services.

Torrusio said that each individualcommand aboard NAS Pensacola, aswell as those at Whiting Field and CorryStation, will each have a designatedactive duty fund drive representative.Posters detailing these representatives’contact information are in commandsthroughout the bases, and individualsinterested in volunteering or donating tothis effort are encouraged to contacttheir command representatives.

The Navy started the AIT/P course in 2009, offering three classes a year. “Thepurpose behind the program is to match a military’s available resources with itsrisks,” said program creator and instructor Abbate.

Lt. Jan Pahl, a helicopter pilot from Germany, praised the program for its widehorizon on security, noting “there are a lot of tools that might be implemented inGermany to increase our force protection.”

NHP conducts ASF academyStory, photoby MC1 James StenbergNHP PAO

On Feb. 15, 13 Sailors gradu-ated from Naval HospitalPensacola’s (NHP) firstAuxiliary Security Force (ASF)academy. ASF personnel areactive-duty service members thataugment base security personnelduring contingencies, naturaldisasters, civil disturbances,exercises and special events thatrequire heightened levels ofsecurity.

In the past, NHP has sent ASFcandidates to Naval Air StationPensacola. With the addition ofpersonnel qualified to teach thecourse, NHP’s SecurityDepartment was able to coordi-nate and conduct its own ASFacademy. During the course, stu-dents were taught multiple facetsof anti-terrorism and lawenforcement practices and gotexposure to non-lethal weapons,firearms, rules and regulations,tactics, use of force and militaryjurisdiction.

“During our academy, thecandidates go through a two-week course training them on thebasic knowledge of law enforce-ment and anti-terrorism force

protection,” said MA2Alexander Humulock, withNHP’s Security Department.“The candidates are put througha series of tests and situations toevaluate their performance andgive them a feel for stressful realworld scenarios they mightencounter.”

“They learn tactical teammovement, take downs and per-sonnel and vehicle inspections,”said MA3 Arlicia Litt. “Theywent to the range and shot the

M9 (Beretta 9mm semiautomat-ic pistol) and the M500(Mossberg 500 shotgun).Members also endured thedreaded OC (pepper spray)course.”

The OC course is composedof five stations that test a stu-dent’s combat mindset and abil-ity during a complete sensoryoverload. During the course,individuals must be able to prop-erly demonstrate basicMechanical Advantage Control

Hold (MACH) takedown tech-niques, correctly carry anexpandable baton and use it toperform striking techniques forself-defense and show the abili-ty to secure an active subject.

“It’s not so much the pain ofthe spray, it’s that you don’tknow what to expect,” saidITSR Paul Harding, of Joshua,Texas, and an ASF volunteer.“The anxiety, the fear of theunknown; you just don’t knowhow you’re going to handle it.”

Even though the trainingrevolves around force protec-tion measures, ASF can be uti-lized for multiple situations.

“During a natural disastersuch as a hurricane (in therecovery phase), there might bea large number of folks trying toaccess the hospital to get help,which could easily inundate ourstaff and create unsafe condi-tions,” said Capt. MaureenPadden, commanding officer,Naval Hospital Pensacola.“Having these additional folkscan help bolster our ability tomaintain a safe environment.”

One of the most uniqueaspects of ASF is that it’s a com-pletely volunteer duty. Anymember of the command canrequest to go ASF, but being apart of the ASF does not excuseanyone from the normal jobs.

“Our ASF personnel all haveday jobs doing other duties.They come from any rating thatworks in the hospital, not justcorpsman. They volunteer tolearn a collateral duty that isboth challenging and rewarding.They don’t get extra pay, butthey do get my respect andadmiration for stepping up toserve the Navy’s needs,” saidPadden.

ITSR Paul Harding, of Joshua, Texas, confronts the “red man” during a force protection training exerciseat Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Auxiliary Security Force (ASF) academy. ASF candidates underwent atwo-week course covering various force protection tactics and techniques.

Vice Adm. David BussCommander, Naval Air Forces

Like most Americans I’mwatching the ongoing nationalfiscal debates in Washingtonwith great interest and a gooddeal of trepidation.

It’s my job to ensure that weman, train and equip a navalaviation force that is ready tofly, fight and win whenever andwherever our forward militarycommanders around the worldneed that capability. It’s alsomy role to put in place the poli-cies that will ensure that navalaviation endures as a vital andrelevant part of our Navy andthe broader national securityframework.

Working with other leaders inthe community, we developed avision for naval aviation thatwill help us ensure a whole,capable and affordable force.That vision, though still impor-tant, is in jeopardy due to theacross-the-board nature oflooming cuts resulting from thepotential of a full year continu-ing resolution and sequestration.

The Chief of NavalOperations has given us direc-tions to act now in the face ofthese pending cuts. As wemake choices of where andhow to cut in the limited waywe’re able in this circumstance,it’s important to note that all ofour processes are interconnect-ed. Once we begin pullinglevers to move the bigmachine, there will be impactsacross the entirety of naval avi-ation. Some of these impacts

may not beimmediate-ly apparenttoday, butthey willimpact ourfuture in thenear and farterm, andmay not bee a s i l y

reversed.I understand that in almost

any conceivable circumstancethere will be fewer resourcesavailable. This reality hasinformed our vision and isdriving how naval aviationmust organize, man, train andequip as a whole to successful-ly perform its missions todayand in the future. Achievingcombat effectiveness – whichis what we are fundamentallyall about – requires the judi-cious management of manpow-er, supplies and training dollarsto safely and effectively oper-ate Navy and Marine Corps air-craft to be ready for whateverthe nation asks of us, wheneverwe are asked.

Naval aviation has embracedaffordability, which I see asgenerally driven by two ele-ments – the acquisition cost todevelop and buy our platforms,and the operating and sustain-ment costs to bring the fullthrow weight of our aviationforce to bear over their entireservice life.

The Navy is in transition to anew, more capable platform innearly every aircraft communi-ty today. We must continue

these transitions if we are tomeet the evolving securitythreats of tomorrow. We arecompleting our strike-fightertransition into the FA-18E/FSuper Hornet. We are well intotransition with our electronicattack community out of theolder EA-6B Prowler and intothe extraordinarily capable EA-18G Growler. We are also wellinto our rotary wing transitioninto the lethal multi-missionMH-60R and MH-60SKnighthawks, programs that,by the way, saved taxpayers(you and me) billions of dollarsthrough multi-year procure-ment strategies. Our legacy P-3C Orion squadrons havebegun transition into theremarkable P-8A Poseidon, anaircraft based on the concept ofleveraging a reliable, already-proven low-cost platform thatcarries an array of sensors, net-works and weapons designedto operate in an “open architec-ture” warfighting environment.

Another way in which we’retrying to make our Navy’s avi-ation force more affordable forthe future is by reducing thenumber of types, models andseries of aircraft within the car-rier strike group.

For example, in 2005 a carri-er strike group may havedeployed with as many as 10different models of aircraftwhich, collectively, requiredeight different engine types,each with their own mainte-nance and supply supportrequirements. In our newvision, a carrier strike group in

2025 would deploy with as fewas five different models of air-craft with five engine types,significantly reducing our“lifecycle” costs to own andoperate those Navy aircraft.Think about it … fewer rangeof parts that we need, withmore commonality, and a high-er probability of finding thepart you’re looking for on theshelf when you need it.

There’s more to affordabilitythan simply designing and buy-ing better aircraft, though. Thecost to operate our present andfuture platforms – combinedwith advanced capabilities thatare rapidly exceeding the capa-bilities of our current trainingranges – demands that withinnaval aviation we becomemuch more innovative in com-bining live, virtual and con-structive training. Flight timein the cockpit or crew stationwill always matter for ournaval aviators, but our potentialadversaries’ capabilities areevolving to the point wheremuch of our most realistictraining in the future may bedone in a high-fidelity simula-tor, linked with an array ofother simulators in high-tech,high-threat environment thatcan’t be replicated anywhereelse. And flight hours are like-ly to become more scarceunder budget cuts. Our livetraining ranges today may notprovide the level of hi-endtraining we need to be able tofully practice our warfightingskills. We are at the cusp ofinnovative thought and action

in determining the right mix oflive, virtual and constructivetraining for our future … andbright young aviation mindsare leading the charge here.

I’ve provided just a fewexamples of ways naval avia-tion is doing all we can to deliv-er value to the American peopleeven in these austere times. Andalthough we place affordabilityat the heart of everything we do,we will never lose sight of ourtrue mission: providing combatready aviation forces forwardwhere, and when, they are need-ed most … today, tomorrow andin the future. That mission maybe harder to achieve movingforward but we will do every-thing we can to achieve it.

NASWF officer assists in scuba rescueBy Ens.Robert Luers NASWF PAO

A typical scuba certificationtraining session nearly turnedtragic for the dive master teach-ing a course Jan. 14, and onlythe exacting training and deci-sive action of a Training AirWing Five officer changed alikely fatality into a happy end-ing.

Lt. Cmdr. John Cooke,TraWing-5 aeromedical safetyofficer, was enjoying a sunnyday off the coast of Fort Pickensat Gulf Islands NationalSeashore, watching his 10-year-old daughter, Rachel, take thefirst of her four qualificationdives for her junior scuba certifi-cation. Little did he know thathis years of experience andknowledge of the human bodywould be soon be criticallyneeded.

The qualification dive con-sisted of an instructor – an Armystaff sergeant and qualified divemaster and Special Forces com-bat dive medic – two male stu-dents and Rachel. The dive wasto consist of a routine 30-footdescent and ascent below thesurface of the 60 degree statepark aquatic preserve. After theinstructor and students plungedinto the depth below andreached the bottom, one of themale students panicked and ulti-

mately lost control. “In his irrational state, he had

forgotten his training and wastrying to conduct an emergencyascent from 30 feet, whichwould have exploded his lungsand no doubt would have killedhim,” Cooke said.

The dive master grappledwith the flailing student andresupplied him with oxygenuntil they surfaced. Once top-side, the dive master yelled,“Get him out of the water.”Unaware of what had transpiredbelow the water, the onlookersassisted as directed. The staffsergeant then retreated to thedepths to retrieve the remainingstudents. After four separatedives in as many minutes, hewas unable to locate the twomissing students due to poor vis-ibility and a stronger thanexpected current.

Deciding he needed to takeaction, Cooke then took a set ofsnorkel, mask and fins from oneof the men and dove in toward astream of bubbles. After threeunsuccessful attempts, Cookethen donned the man’s scubagear and headed back down.

The dive instructor eventuallyfound the second male diver andRachel on his ninth dive.Remarkably, the submerged stu-dents were doing underwaterdive drills to pass time and wereoblivious to the events that had

unfolded around them.Once on shore, the attention

of the bystanders was focusedon the man that had lost control.

“I was more worried aboutthe instructor,” Cooke said.

The staff sergeant began feel-ing light headed and attributed itto the extreme workout he hadjust endured. Within minutes,however, he developed a strongheadache and was losing his bal-ance.

“He wanted to drive to thehospital. Others wanted to dial911. But the nearest fire depart-ment was more than 30 minutesaway and the hospital was cer-tainly a lot farther,” Cooke said.

During the discussion of whatto do next, Cooke’s friend, aUnited States Coast Guard com-mander, arrived with a boatwhich would reduce transporttime by at least an hour. Duringthe boat ride, Cooke called theofficer in charge of NavalSurvival Training Institute andscheduled an emergency visit tothe hyperbaric chamber, anenclosed unit that assists in therecovery of decompression sick-ness, on NAS Pensacola.

An ambulance and policearrived at the USCG stationwithin minutes of their arrival.Upon arrival, the EMTs beganasking questions from their stan-dard operating proceduresregarding symptoms of the dive

emergency. The dive masterwas experiencing a right sideheadache, spinning vision anddisorientation. The protocol ofthe dive emergency required theEMTs to transport the dive mas-ter to a local hospital, which hadno chamber facility and was atleast a 30-minute ride.

At this point, Cooke steppedforward and introduced himself.He refused to release control ofthe scene to the EMTs as he feltthe situation had become tootime sensitive. “If immediateaction to the chamber would nothave been made, the situation nodoubt would have ended indeath,” he said.

Cooke called NSTI andreported that he and the diverwere inbound. He requestedtransportation from the EMTs orpolice at the site. Within minutesthey were at the chamber withthe emergency hyperbaricchamber team standing by.

The initial neurologicalassessments showed the victimsuffered from an arterial gasembolism and that his condi-tions were worsening. The divemedical officer, a Navy captain,directed that the service memberbe “squeezed.” At a chamberdepth of 30 feet, the diver’s dis-orientation eased and hisheadache decreased from a 4 toa 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. By 55feet, all signs and symptoms

were resolved. He stayed on100 percent oxygen for fourhours and was released later.

Cooke’s decisiveness andcomposure led to a happy out-come. At the end of the traumat-ic day, though, there were a lotof factors that aligned to helpprevent permanent injury ordeath: the instructor usingenriched air, the fact that he wasa military member and thus ableto be treated on base, Cooke’sknowledge of the signs andsymptoms of diving emergen-cies, his friend having a boatavailable to reduce the transporttime, proceeding directly to thechamber, and the chambercrew’s availability to treat.

Recreational off-dutymishaps cause a huge numberof injuries each year for mili-tary personnel. This makes it aregular training issue for man-aging risk, and in typical mili-tary fashion, the staff sergeantused the incident as a traininglesson.

“I never thought that I wouldget an injury at Fort Pickens,but due to that experience, Ihave changed some of my safe-ty protocols and can now vouchfor the importance of adheringto the weekend safety briefs,”he said following the event.

And just a few weeks later,he finished Rachel’s qualifica-tion process.

NASWF personnel recognized by Santa Rosa Chamber of CommerceFrom NASWF PAO

The Santa Rosa County Chamber ofCommerce honored two of Naval AirStation Whiting Field’s finest during theirannual leadership dinner recently. Theblack tie affair recognized the major con-tributors in the Santa Rosa County busi-ness and volunteer community.

In front of an audience filled with polit-ical leaders, business owners, and localorganizers, Kristal Kelley, the manager ofthe NAS Whiting Field Pen Air FederalCredit Union branch office, and LoriAprilliano, the base public affairs officer,received well-deserved awards along with10 other honorees during the evening’sfestivities.

Tracy Allen, the interim president forthe chamber of commerce, selectedKelley to receive the President’s Award

for outstanding service through an eventor project. Kelley’s recognition stemmedfrom her “tireless efforts” in coordinatingthe annual Military Appreciation Picnic atNAS Whiting Field. The picnic was thebest attended in the history of the eventwith more door prizes, more venders andmore activities than any previous militaryappreciation event.

Aprilliano received the Fred Hunter“Spirit of Santa Rosa” award for longterm contributions to the chamber andthe county. Through her position in thepublic affairs office, she has consistentlyworked to improve relations between thecommunity and the base. Working farbeyond the scope of the minimumexpected of base support, Aprillianoarranged base tours for countless com-munity groups including the chamber ofcommerce, NJROTC units, Boy Scout

troops, elementary school classes,Leadership Santa Rosa, and more. Withher, it was never a question of whether tosupport the local community, but howmuch she and the base could do toaccommodate the request.

Kelley’s award included a video pres-entation by interim president Allen tout-ing her efforts in planning the picnic.Maintaining the light-hearted spirit of theevening, he even put in a slight “dig”about her short trip to the hospital fordehydration during the event.

“My criteria for this award are that therecipient must go above and beyond sacri-ficing themselves (even to the point of heatexhaustion and dehydration in this case)for the sake of the event. You can’t let lit-tle things like trips to the hospital stand inthe way of a successful event, the showmust go on,” he joked, before emphasizingthe depth of Kelley’s dedication to theproject. “This individual’s sacrifices wereonly reflective of her passion to recognizeand show appreciation for those who servethis country so valiantly and sometimesgive the ultimate sacrifice.”

By Elizabeth DickasonNaval History and HeritageCommand

Eighty-five-year-oldRear Adm. Grace MurrayHopper, who dedicatedher life to the Navy,passed away Jan. 1,1992. As a pioneer com-puter programmer and co-inventor of COBOL(Common BusinessOriented Language), shewas known as the GrandLady of Software,Amazing Grace andGrandma COBOL. She’llbe remembered for hernow famous sayings, oneof which is “It’s easier toask forgiveness than it isto get permission.”

Taught by her father atan early age to go afterwhat she wanted, her lifeconsisted of one successafter another, including thesignificant contributionsshe made to the computerage and the Navy.

Hopper’s diligence andhard work paid off whenin 1928 at the age of 22she was graduated PhiBeta Kappa from VassarCollege. She then attend-ed Yale University, whereshe received a master’sdegree in mathematicsand physics in 1930 and adoctorate degree in math-ematics in 1934. Hopperbegan teaching mathemat-ics at Vassar in 1931,where her first year’ssalary was $800. Shestayed there until she

joined the United StatesNaval Reserve inDecember 1943.

Upon graduation, shewas commissioned a lieu-tenant (junior grade) andordered to the Bureau ofOrdnance ComputationProject at HarvardUniversity. There shebecame the first program-mer on the Navy’s Mark Icomputer, the mechanicalmiracle of its day.Hopper’s love of gadgetscaused her to immediatelyfall for the biggest gadgetshe’d ever seen, the 51-foot-long mound of bulkyrelays, switches and vacu-um tubes called the MarkI. This miracle of modernscience could store 72words and perform threeadditions every second.

In 1946, Hopper wasreleased from active dutyand joined the HarvardFaculty at the ComputationLaboratory, where herwork continued on theMark II and Mark III com-puters for the Navy. In1949, she joined theE c k e r t - M a u c h l yComputer Corporation,later called Sperry Rand,where she designed thefirst commercial large-scale electronic computercalled the UNIVAC I.

She changed the livesof everyone in the comput-er industry by developingthe Bomarc system, latercalled COBOL (common-business-oriented lan-guage). COBOL made it

possible for computers torespond to words ratherthan numbers. She’s alsocredited with coining theterm “bug” when shetraced an error in the MarkII to a moth trapped in arelay. The bug was care-fully removed and taped toa daily log book. Sincethen, whenever a comput-er has a problem, it’sreferred to as a bug.

Hopper retired from theNaval Reserve with therank of commander at theend of 1966. She wasrecalled to active duty inAugust 1967 for a six-month assignment at therequest of Norman Ream,then special assistant tothe Secretary of the Navyfor automatic data pro-cessing. After the sixmonths were up, herorders were changed tosay her services would beneeded indefinitely. Shewas promoted to captainin 1973 by Adm. ElmoZumwalt Jr., Chief ofNaval Operations. And in1977, she was appointedspecial adviser toCommander, Naval DataAutomation Command(NavDac), where shestayed until she retired.

At the age of 76, shewas promoted to com-modore by special presi-dential appointment. Herrank was elevated to rearadmiral in November1985, making her one offew women admirals inthe history of the Navy.

CPPD performance award winnersset bar high for customer service

By Susan HensonCenter for Personal andProfessional Development PublicAffairs

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. –The Center for Personal andProfessional Development(CPPD) recognized its out-standing Navy College Offices,learning sites and reserve unit of2012, command leadership saidrecently.

The CPPD PerformanceQuality Award Winners forFiscal Year 2012 were theCPPD Learning Sites in NASPensacola Corry Station andKing’s Bay, Ga.; Navy CollegeOffices in Bahrain; Naples,Italy; and Coronado, Calif; andthe entire CPPD Reserve Unit.

“I’m pleased to recognizesuch an outstanding group ofpeople dedicated to providingthe best possible support forSailors’ personal and profes-sional development,” said Capt.John Newcomer, CPPD’s com-manding officer. “We’re a smallyet global command, and theperformance of this year’s win-ners shows the high level ofcommitment CPPD’s teammembers have to helping devel-op Sailors who think critically,act responsibly and lead proac-tively – to make the best possi-ble decisions on and off duty.”

The 2012 PerformanceQuality Award winners for

CPPD’s Learning Sites andreserve units also accomplishedimpressive metrics that support-ed the command’s mission todevelop and deliver educationand training opportunities thatbuild personal, professional andleadership competencies toachieve fleet readiness.

Learning Site CorryStation won the large learningsite category for posting a 104percent instructor utilizationrate and 100 percent completionof all Personal and ProfessionalDevelopment Assist Team(PPDAT) visits that resulted in a71.5 percent seat utilization rateof CPPD courses at that site.Nearly 80 percent of the site’sinstructors qualified to delivermore than one course of instruc-tion in FY-12, and 44 percent ofinstructors completed require-ments for their Master TrainingSpecialist (MTS) qualification.

Learning Site Kings Baywon the small learning site cate-gory by posting similarlyimpressive statistics. This teamhad a 90 percent instructor uti-lization rate, and a 141 percentPPDAT completion rate result-ing in a 70 percent seat utiliza-tion rate. More than 90 percentof instructors cross-qualified todeliver more than one course,and 47 percent of Kings Bayinstructors completed theirMTS requirements.

Although usually awarded to

a single reserve unit, the entireCPPD Reserve Unit was award-ed for its team effort in FY-12that resulted in the unit’s mostproductive year in its history,according to Newcomer. Thereserve unit accounted for 25percent of the overallCPPD mission bydelivering almost500 courses andgraduating morethan 9,000Sailors whilesimultaneouslyreducing thecommand’s travelcosts.

Navy CollegeOffice (NCO) Bahrain, whichwon in the small NCO staff cat-egory, provides educational out-reach to the Naval ForcesCentral Command area ofresponsibility. NCO Bahrainconducted 150 briefings formore than 5,000 customers at92 tenant commands, includingSaudi Arabia, Pakistan,Afghanistan, Oman, Qatar, IsaAir Base and Yemen. Throughcombined efforts and coordina-tion across regions, the officehad a 98 percent enrollmentcompletion rate, with more than268 college graduates.

“This is an amazing level ofcustomer service, especiallyconsidering the office staff con-sisted of one person for most of2012,” said Dr. Mary Redd-

Clary, director of the VoluntaryEducation program, which isadministered by CPPD.

Navy College OfficeNaples, which won in the medi-um NCO staff category, pro-vides educational outreach to

the local Naples area andAfrica Command. The

Naples team alsoprovided techni-cal guidance tothe educationservices officeraboard the SixthFleet flagship

USS MountWhitney (LLC/JCC

20) in the preparation ofeducation plans for ships usingNavy College Program forAfloat College Education(NCPACE). The educationplans were instrumental in theenrollment of more than 80Sailors, 62 of whom receivedcollege degrees. As theEuropean Regional DefenseLanguage Testing Center, NCONaples also logged 42 percentof Defense LanguageProficiency Tests (DLPTs)administered in Europe andSouth West Asia.

Navy College OfficeCoronado, which took theNCO large staff category, pro-vides educational outreach tothe Coronado area and PointLoma. The team at this NCOdistinguished itself by recording

more than 12,180 combinedcompletions and enrollments,which produced 252 collegegraduates. It also provided edu-cation services to more than49,000 Navy personnel, hostedsix education fairs, and coordi-nated more than 140 NCPACEcourses for deployed Sailors.NCO Coronado also organizedon-site instructor-led classesand facilitated outreach to morethan 49 tenant commands.

“The educational profession-als at all 35 NCOs give every-thing they have to helpingSailors find avenues to pursuetheir life-long education goals,which equips them with stronganalytical skills and the abilityto make informed decisions,”said Redd-Clary. “For theVoluntary Education team, weare strongly committed to help-ing every Sailor we can, whichis well demonstrated by theimpressive accomplishments ofthese award winners.”
