Keeping Low Country Warriors On Course

If you want to see living proof of ourcore values, honor, courage and com-mitment, take a look around theWeapons Station during the next fewweeks. You’re going to see some veryenthusiastic, hard-working, and yes,somewhat frenetic Sailors working ontheir induction into the Chief PettyOfficer’s mess.

These men and women have spentnumerous years honing their skills,learning their jobs, leading on the deck-plates and taking care of their people.Now, the Bureau of Personnel haslooked at their careers, studied theirevaluations, checked off all the blocksand made a decision as to who will bewearing anchors on their collars comeSeptember 16.

It is not an easy road to become aChief Petty Officer. It is an eventougher road going through the induc-tion process that takes an E-6 frombeing a senior Sailor to becoming aChief.

The induction process, formerlyknown as initiation, has been around for

decades. Originally designed to bringthe new chief into the mess, years agoinitiation was often a drunk festdesigned to humiliate the new chief andprovide amusement for the old salts. Wehad some misguided perceptions ofwhat it took to make a chief back then.Our intentions were good: take a Sailorand put him under as much stress aspossible so when the time came for thatSailor to step forward as a Chief, he orshe would have the knowledge, back-bone and experience to boldly step upand give the skipper the bad news. As Isaid, we had good intentions, but poorexecution.

Around the mid-90s, the Chief’scommunity looked at the initiationprocess and realized that our methodswere outdated, if not ineffective.Changes began occurring slowly andover the years, initiation has trans-formed into induction. We have learnedthat if you want a Sailor to be “theChief,” then the time spent doing use-less errands and chores for the amuse-ment of others, could be better spentactually learning about what a Chief canand cannot do, how to lead, how toteach and how to mentor.

The day I made Chief, and the days Iwent through my own induction processwere days that I will never forget. Iknew that becoming a chief wouldchange my world as well as my fami-ly’s. What I didn’t know, was how muchinfluence a Chief actually has on hisSailors. Sure, I worked for a few goodChiefs along the way but I also workedfor a few that were less than modelleaders. From the very first day I report-ed to work in my new khakis, I realizedthat I was now “the Chief.” I would beheld to a higher standard and in turn, I

would continue to hold my troops to myhigh standards.

Our new Chief “selects” will be outand about during the next five weekspreparing for their own life-changingevent. They will be conducting fund-raisers around the base to earn moneyfor their pinning ceremony and theywill also be volunteering their time inthe community. Please contribute totheir efforts and give them hearty con-gratulations on what will be for many ofthem, the pinnacle of their careers.

Just a few other thoughts: Hurricaneseason is still here and if history repeatsitself, the worst part of the season is justnow approaching. If you haven’t doneso already, take another look at yourdisaster preparedness kit. Make sureyou have enough food and water for afew days, batteries, medicines, andgasoline in your tank. Dust off the evac-uation plans sitting in your kit andreview them and make sure you havemade preparations for all your fourlegged friends as well.

Also, as of today, we still have 17days left of the Critical Days ofSummer, the time of year when moreservice men and women are injured orkilled due to summertime activities. I’mnot trying to jinx us, but we have had anoutstanding summer safety wise thisyear. Keep doing what you’re doing.Minimize the alcohol, practice riskassessment before jumping into thewater and keep wearing your safetygear on your motorcycles. Take extraprecautions in the heat and keep lookingout for one another.

Take care,

CDR Gary Martin

A processing errorresulted in duplicatecharges on credit and debitcard transactions for somecustomers at Army AirForce Exchange Servicestores.

“Shoppers who swipedtheir cards anytimebetween Aug. 7 and Aug. 9at an AAFES facility arestrongly encouraged toreview their statements tosee if they are impacted bythis issue,” said AAFES’Chief of Staff Col. VirgilWilliams. “If a customerfinds a billing anomaly, noaction will be required ontheir part as we’re workingto correct inaccuracies ontheir behalf.”

Scores of associatesfrom AAFES’ InformationTechnology and Financeand Accounting teams areworking around the clockto remedy all erroneouscharges created as a result

of the processing error.“We’re putting all the

resources we have towarddoing the right thing forcustomers affected by thisunfortunate turn of events”Colonel Williams said. “Ifthere is an overdraft fee asresult of a duplicatecharge, we’re going to fixit. Our priority is to takecorrective action as quick-ly as possible and returncustomers’ accounts to theexact state they were priorto this glitch.”

The processing errorthat produced duplicatecharges affected AAFESlocations worldwide.Depending on the type ofcard used, correctiveaction could be visible tothe customer anywherefrom 24 hours to a coupleof weeks.

“The timeline is subjectto a number of variables,”Colonel Williams said.

“Regardless, we wantexchange shoppers toknow that every possiblemeasure is being taken toeliminate any additionalcharges and rectify anyconcerns created as a resultof this processing miscue.”

Shoppers whose creditcards were double chargedand, as a result, sufferedoverdraft fees, can simplybring documentation, suchas an overdraft notice oronline statement, to theirnearest exchange for a fullrefund of the fees.

“We promised to do theright thing for our cus-tomers that were affectedby this unfortunate glitchand we are honoring thatpromise,” said AAFES’Senior Enlisted AdvisorChief Jeffry Helm. “Weregret any inconveniencethis may have caused andwant to reimburse them asquickly as possible.”

The Navy recognizes August as Immunization AwarenessMonth.

With flu season quickly approaching, Navy leadership areurging service members, veterans and family members to beaware of the risks of seasonal flu and to receive their sched-uled vaccinations.

Influenza or “flu” has the potential to significantly impactNavy force readiness and missions. In the United States,influenza results in more than 25 million reported cases,more than 150,000 hospitalizations due to serious complica-tions and more than 30,000 deaths annually.

According to the Navy Surgeon General Vice Adm. AdamM. Robinson Jr., immunization is one of the best ways to pre-vent the spread of seasonal influenza.

“Influenza is not the common cold,” said Robinson. “Itcan be a severe to life-threatening disease and getting anannual flu vaccine immunization protects us from getting thedisease or becoming severely ill. The seasonal flu vaccinenot only helps protect vaccinated individuals, but also helpsprotect entire communities by preventing and reducing thespread of the disease.”

Navy medical officials anticipate the supply of vaccine toNavy medical treatment facilities will arrive by lateSeptember and do not anticipate any availability issues likethose experienced last fall.

This year’s seasonal influenza vaccine contains threeinactive virus components based on an estimate of the mostprevalent strains for the upcoming season. The 2009 H1N1pandemic strain is incorporated as one of the three 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine components. New influenzastrains with the potential to become pandemic have not yetbeen identified for 2010-2011 but the possibility remains thata new virus strain could emerge, become a pandemic andrequire an additional influenza vaccine. The Armed ForcesHealth Surveillance Center will closely monitor the emer-gence of potential new virus strains.

“Let me assure you that the vaccine is safe, effective, andwill be widely available beginning next month,” saidRobinson.

Robinson also states that all personnel and their familymembers can limit the effects of the seasonal and H1N1 fluby adopting some basic preventive health practices such ascovering their mouth when they cough, washing hands often,and avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

“Following these simple good practices will help us allstay healthy during this flu season,” said Robinson.

According to the Department of Defenseon Suicide Prevention and Risk Reduction,suicide is ranked as the 11th leading cause ofdeath nationwide. The Navy suicide preven-tion campaign asks Sailors to “ACT” now tosave a life. The philosophy of watching outfor shipmates is a key factor and it is impor-tant that everyone is aware of the signs thatsomeone may be considering taking theirown life.

ACT is a three-step process designed tohelp determine if someone is suicidal and toprevent them from hurting themselves.

It stands for: Ask- ask the person if they are thinking of

hurting themselves

Care- listen and let the person know theyare not alone, and

Treatment- get your shipmate to help asquickly as possible; such as the duty officer,chaplain, medical personnel, or others whocan help

In supporting the Navy’s “All Hands”position on suicide prevention, the Fleet andFamily Support (FFSC) Center NWSCharleston is taking a proactive approachand is offering Suicide Prevention briefs toall. Please call Becky Bowers, Life SkillsEducator, at 843-764-7443 for more infor-mation or to schedule suicide preventionbrief.

Enlisted Warfare qualifications: mandatory for all Sailors By Chief Mass Communication Specialist (SW/AW) Sonya Ansarov, Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

Initial enlisted warfare qualifications are now mandatory forall Sailors per the recent release of NAVADMIN 268-10.

The NAVADMIN announces the release of OPNAVINST1414.9, Navy Enlisted Warfare Qualification ProgramsInstruction, which issues the overarching requirements for thequalification and designation of all enlisted warfare programs.

The arduous and often unforgiving environment service-members operate in as Sailors dictates the need for all person-nel to have a basic understanding and operating knowledge ofthe platform or command to which they are assigned.

Warfare programs are essential in ensuring our Sailorsunderstand and are able to effectively engage a casualty, oper-ate equipment or platforms safely and ensure backup as needed.Warfare qualifications are about ship, shipmate and self, andensure the safety and safe operation of each command and plat-form on a daily basis.

“It’s a standard every Sailor must achieve. The warfaredevice itself is a symbol that the Sailors who are wearing it havea basic level of knowledge to ensure they are capable of fight-ing the ship, saving a shipmate and ensuring the safety of them-selves at all times,” said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy(MCPON), Rick D. West. “Having every Sailor at or workingtoward that level will only strengthen the war-fighting ability ofthat command and the Navy.”

According to the NAVADMIN, qualification and/or re-qual-ification is mandatory for all enlisted Sailors assigned to desig-nated warfare qualifying commands.

Warfare sponsors (Type Commanders) will establish specif-

ic qualification and re-qualifying timelines however, the maxi-mum allowable time for initial qualification of all enlistedSailors assigned to designated warfare qualifying commandswill not exceed 30 months. Timelines for warfare qualificationsare set by the Type Commander’s instructions and eachTYCOM will have oversight of their programs.

According to West, the biggest questions he hears are: - What happens if a Sailor doesn’t qualify in time? West stat-

ed that failure to qualify in the specific warfare program withinthe prescribed time shall immediately result in a special per-formance evaluation that removes promotion recommendation,but the promotion recommendation may be restored with a spe-cial performance evaluation when qualification is achieved.

- Will a Sailor be penalized if their command doesn’t offerthe opportunity for warfare qualification? According to West,Sailors without the opportunity to qualify in a warfare specialtywill not be penalized. However Sailors should look for follow-on opportunities to obtain a warfare device when able.

- Will having mandatory qualifications water down the exist-ing programs? West stated, quite the contrary; by mandatingwarfare qualifications for all enlisted personnel, it will signifi-cantly “raise the bar” across the command regarding level ofknowledge of the command and the systems our Sailors oper-ate. It is incumbent on those that wear the warfare pin of thecommand to ensure the integrity and strength of the existingprograms.

- How will Sailors stand-out amongst peers if everyone isrequired to have a warfare pin? According to West, Sailors stand

out every day. Performance and the Sailor’s overall commandsupport should be the biggest factors to “break out” individuals.

“I often highlight efficient manning and future platformssuch as LCS as examples of the need to ensuring our Sailorshave a good, basic understanding of the systems and fightingcapabilities of the command to which they are assigned,” saidWest.

Yellow Ribbon program strong for 2010-2011From the Department of Veterans Affairs

Paving the way for recipients of the Post-9/11 GI Bill toattend higher-cost schools, the Department of VeteransAffairs (VA) has entered into more than 3,200 agreementswith more than 1,100 schools for the upcoming academicyear under the “Yellow Ribbon” program.

Schools can enter into multiple agreements with VA toaccommodate different programs of study offered.

“We are pleased that so many institutions are joining us tosupport the educational goals of the men and women whoserved this Nation so honorably,” said Secretary of VeteransAffairs Eric K. Shinseki.

The Yellow Ribbon program, a key provision of the newPost-9/11 GI Bill, allows VA and participating educationalinstitutions to share in supporting students attending high-cost schools.

Normally, the VA-administered Post-9/11 GI Bill reim-burses students for tuitions that don’t exceed the highest in-state undergraduate tuition rate for a public institution. Underthe Yellow Ribbon program, when schools contribute to thedifference between the in-state maximum and their usualcost, VA will match them dollar for dollar up to 50 percent ofthe difference.

The Yellow Ribbon program is reserved for Veterans eli-gible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill who served at least 36 monthson active duty or served at least 30 continuous days before

being discharged due to a service-related injury.VA launched a special outreach effort in January 2010 to

encourage more schools to participate in the program duringthe coming academic year. VA extended the original deadlinefor schools’ participation decisions, originally set for May21, to July 23 due to overwhelming interest in the program.

Letters were also mailed to school officials and remindere-mails sent to promote maximum participation. In 2010, theapplication process was streamlined to allow schools to faxand e-mail agreements to VA, rather than send through regu-lar mail.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill, passed by Congress in 2008, is themost extensive educational assistance program authorizedsince the original GI Bill was signed into law in 1944.

The maximum benefit allows every eligible Veteran, serv-ice member, reservist and National Guard member an oppor-tunity to receive an in-state, undergraduate education at apublic institution at no cost.

The program includes payments for tuition and fees (paiddirectly to the schools), a housing allowance and a books andsupplies stipend.

For information on specific schools participating in theYellow Ribbon Program, go towww.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/CH33/YRP/YRP_List_2010.

The program’s most recent development isteaching the dogs to help a service memberwith Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) —teaching the dog to enter a room and break up acrowded area or open a path for the owner towalk, since many PTSD patients often have dif-ficulty in crowded situations.

Once the dogs are trained, the wounded war-rior will be flown to Charleston to retrieve theservice dog at no cost to them. During theirstay, the new dog owner will have five to sevendays to train with the dog and learn their specialabilities, after which they and their new dog arereturned home at no cost.

“Service members were just doing what weasked them to do and were injured while serv-ing their country,” said Hairston. “Now it’s upto us to take care of them.”

Continued from page 1

Although Titus has more than 2,000 hours of training, he will not be assigned to a wounded veteranbecause he is unsteady around loud children and babies. Rather than risking the safety of the woundedwarrior and others, Tyson will spend his days helping his owner, Rick Hairston, raise funds for Caninesfor Veterans.

Taking the crowd all the way back to the early 1990’s, then to his new upbeat mixture and style,Rob Van Winkle “Vanilla Ice,” rocked the house at Naval Weapons Station Charleston “The Dive”Thursday, August 5.

He wrote his first hit “Ice Ice Baby,” when he was 16. Now, years later he performed the songyet again as the packed crowd sang along with him.

“I’m still the same guy—I get in where I can fit in,” said Ice. “Yesterday has already happenedand you can’t change it, but you can learn from it. Tomorrow is always going to be a new day.”

“I couldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for who I was then,” Ice continued. “Expect the unex-pected.”

Although it may seem that this hip-hop star would live a lavish life style, Van Winkle prideshimself on making sure his fans know that he is just the opposite. He claims to have no stereotyp-ical image and ensures his fans that there are no polished gimmicks created by a record company.

“I just can’t stand the image that was created for me back then. Even though it worked and wesold 17 million records, I was treated like a puppet just to make a Hip Hop artist look like a nov-elty act,” said Ice.

After his hit, Ice fell victim to the “rock star” mentality of drug usage and at one point hit rockbottom in 1994 when he tried to take his own life by over dosing.

“I had to refocus my direction in life—I turned over a new leaf,” he said. “The meaning of life to me is family and friends and not indulging yourself into materialistic

items. I have a lovely wife that I’ve been married to for 17 years and two beautiful baby girls,Dusti, 12, and Keelee, 10,”

Vanilla Ice has changed his perspec-tive in many ways, not only in his per-sonal life but in his music as well, releas-ing albums that experimented withheavy rock and a house disco sound: Hit‘em Hard (1994), Too Cold (1998),Survivor (2005), Ice Ice Baby (2005)and Bounce (2005).

“I’m really enjoying myself thesedays. I don’t have anyone pulling on mystrings leading the way and it’s a greatfeeling,” he said. “Now I have a newoutlook on life and music. The music isfor me, not to make me be rich orfamous.”

Ice said to watch out for his newestalbum release complete with his uniquetwist of music that he believes will be ahit. Also watch your local grocery storefreezers for the next Ben & Jerry icecream, labeled “Vanilla Ice Ice”.

Suicide prevention awareness week Sept 5 - 11.

According to the DoD, suicide is the 11th leading cause ofdeath nationwide. The Navy suicide prevention campaign asksSailors to “ACT” now to save a life. Watching out for shipmatesis a key factor and it is important that everyone is aware of thesigns that someone may be considering taking their own life.

ACT is a three-step process designed to help determine ifsomeone is suicidal and to prevent them from hurting them-selves. It stands for:

Ask- ask the person if they are thinking of hurting them-selves.

Care- listen and let the person know they are not alone.Treatment- get your shipmate to help as quickly as possi-

ble such as the duty officer, chaplain, or medical personnel.The Fleet and Family Support Center is taking a proactive

approach and is offering Suicide Prevention briefs to all. CallBecky Bowers, Life Skills Educator, at 843-764-7443 formore information or to schedule suicide prevention brief.

Bachelor Housing

We would like to take the time to wel-come aboard the newest members to ourHousing team: MM3 Michael Barbaro,SH3 Kevin Simpson and SH3 Christopher

Roberts. As members of the Housingteam they will provide the highest level ofcustomer service.

Command sponsorsA reminder to all Command sponsors,

command sponsorship is vital to making alasting impression to newly reportingSailors. With your cooperation, a founda-tion can be established by informingprospective residents of Bachelor Housingthe guidelines and procedures to maketheir transition a smooth one.

Here are some lessons learned we haveencountered during the last few months:

-Command sponsors should be briefingpersonnel in regards to Bachelor Housingpolicies (i.e. 120 minimum day stay, andGeographical Bachelor waiting list).

-Geographical Bachelors have arrivedat their new duty station the day of check-in to command, requesting to move in toBachelor Housing the same day, withoutany knowledge of the waiting list and/orauthority granting approval.

Considerations in these matters are thekey to Bachelor Housing providing thebest possible quality service to BH resi-dents. Any questions or concerns pleasecontact the BH Director, Bob Ladue or theBH Manager, SHC Anderson, or SH1

Jones, Leading Petty Officer at (843)764-7646.
