W.T. Sampson School students, faculty and parents celebrated Red Ribbon Week at the elementary and middle/high school

campuses on board Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Oct. 25-29.

The week raised awareness and promoted prevention of drug and alcohol use or abuse among children.

The event’s first day included speakers from the Drug Education For Youth (DEFY) program and the U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, distribution of red ribbons to students, and students signing a pledge to be drug-free.

“This kind of education should begin early in children’s formative years,” said Marianne Airhart, the school nurse and co-organizer of Red Ribbon Week. “Every day, we have re-enforced to

the children to make healthy choices and to not put anything in their body that could hurt them.”

This year’s Red Ribbon Week theme for parents is “lock your meds,” as an estimated three million American teenagers currently abuse prescription drugs and approximately 3,300 more children and teenagers begin abusing prescription drugs each day, according to the Natural Family Partnership website.

“Red Ribbon Week encourages our entire community to adopt healthy, drug-free lifestyles,” said Chris Dickson, the school-community liaison at W.T. Sampson School.

Liberty Program DiD-ya-Know

What is the MWR Liberty Program?The liberty program is a Morale, Welfare

and Recreation (MWR)-sponsored program for active-duty service members who are stationed in Guantanamo Bay under un-accompanied orders.

How much does it cost for service members to attend liberty program events?

Most liberty program events are free for qualifying service members, including active outdoor events and relaxed indoor events. u Some events and activities include:g Sporting tournamentsg Bike ridingg Skill buildingg Fishing, snorkeling, and kayakingg Bowlingg Xbox and Play Station 3 tournamentsg Cook outsg Movie nightsg Talent showsg Karaoke contestsg Skype

Why does MWR offer the Liberty Program?Several of Guantanamo Bay’s active-duty

service members, including those stationed at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Joint Task Force-Guantanamo, work many hours, are away from their families, or haven’t been in the military for very long.

The liberty program offers activities to keep these service members active, healthy, and successful in their military careers. The variety of programs offers something for everyone and the majority of the programs offered are free of charge.

What will the Liberty Program offer in the near future?

In November, the Liberty Program will include day and night fishing trips, sunset sailing events, a “dive-in” movie at the Windjammer Pool, premier movie night, a learn-and-play Texas Hold ‘Em tournament, a “Back to the 80s” weekend that will kick off with bowling, paintball challenges, the Thanksgiving Gobble Golf Tournament, and a Windmill Beach bash with Retread on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

What can the community do to help the MWR Liberty Program be successful?

The number one way the communicant can help the Liberty Program is to be pro-active and let the program’s managers know what they want. Active-duty service members should call in, e-mail, and report to their chain of command any improvements they want to see in the liberty program.

ContactsLiberty Program:

Main location: Deer Point Liberty CenterPhone: 2010Liberty Program manager: Jill LynchE-mail: [email protected]

Where to find Liberty Program events:The Gazette, The Wire, and the Base Roller channel 4, or call 2010.

Typically you will find the MWR Liberty Program is for 18 to 25 year-olds, but here in GTMO, it accommodates all age groups that are unaccompanied. Some bases only have one Liberty center, but in GTMO, there are four: Marine Hill, Camp America,

Tierra Kay (T.K.) and Deer Point Liberty Centers.

Hospital-sponsored health fair to inform, entertain base residentsBy MCC(SW) Bill Mesta

The U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is scheduled to hold a community

health fair at the Navy Exchange Atrium from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 30.

Residents can participate in blood pressure screenings, receive an influenza vaccination, and do a shoe fitting and arch type identification, tour an ambulance, and family games and events, said Hospital

Corpsman 2nd Class Tamara Ferron. “A representative from the emergency

room will be available to discuss the proper use of the emergency dispatch system and answer any questions,” Ferron said.

The fair will also provide education on nutrition, diabetes, dental care, tobacco cessation, and physical fitness, said Ferron.

“We want to offer some Halloween safety [tips] in the mix, so we will have security there discussing topics that include street crossing, reflective gear, and checking your candy,” said Ferron.

Other representatives at the health fair will include representatives from the hospital’s occupational and behavior health departments and chapel staff.

“We would like to use this event to inform Naval Station Guantanamo Bay residents what we have to offer and what’s available to everyone,” said Ferron. “We consider this event as the ‘hospital’s day out.’ Everyone should attend.”

FACT

Three main types of distraction while driving: uVisual — taking your eyes off the road.

uManual — taking your hands off the wheel.

uCognitive — taking your mind off what you’re doing.

*Text messaging or making a call on a cell phone involves all three kinds of driving distraction.

Distracted driving activities:uUsing a cell phone

uEating and drinking

uTalking to passengers

uGrooming

uReading, including maps

uUsing a PDA or navigation system

uWatching a video

uChanging the radio station, CD, or Mp3 player.

HOW TO AVOIDDISTRACTEDDRIVING

Navy conducts full-power demonstration of Riverine Boats powered by alternative fuels

It’s not like an iguana is going to launch itself into the road—that never happens. And in the quarter-mile stretch from Cooper Field to the Downtown Lyceum, there are only seven crosswalks, but that

doesn’t mean anyone will be trying to cross the road at that exact moment. And the car in front of you will always indicate whether or not it’ll turn with a blinker, because, well, it’s the law!

If only it were that simple. Sherman Avenue was originally designed as

a horse trail in the early days of the American occupation of Guantanamo Bay, according to base history records.

Instead of flattening or excessively chang-ing the route of Sherman Avenue, it was sim-ply paved as-is.

The steep hills, twists, and turns of the base’s main traffic artery calls for vehicles to travel at 25 miles per hour or less, and with-out distraction. Wildlife, emergency vehicles, slow-moving construction vehicles and trac-tor-trailers can appear suddenly and provide drivers a small window of time in which to react and adjust their driving.

If you’re reaching in your pocket for your cell phone, how are you going to notice any of these things?

That’s why Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has regulations in place that prohibit the use of cellular phones while driving on base.

When a motorist is talking on a cellular phone, they increase the likelihood of being

involved in an accident.“With the exception of emergency services

personnel, security, fire, and medical, in the performance of their duties, cell phone use is a violation of motor vehicle code as well as federal law,” said Lt. j.g. Travis Adams, the director of security at the naval station.

All base residents are subject to receiving a traffic ticket that results in three points against their base driving privileges, said Adams.

Military members who are repeat offenders could be subject to disciplinary action for violations of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, specifically, Article 92, “Failure to Obey a Lawful Order.”

According to an executive order signed by President Barack Obama Oct. 1, 2009, every day, federal employees who use government-owned, government-leased, or government-rented vehicles (GOV), or who are using privately-owned vehicles (POV) on official government business, or who use government-supplied electronic devices shall not engage in text messaging.

A federal government-wide prohibition of text messaging while driving on official business or while using government-supplied equipment will help save lives and reduce injuries, according to the executive order.

On the base, there are several areas to pull over and answer an important call. When driving, a person’s focus should be on the road.

It’s just Sherman Avenue. What could possibly go wrong, driving four miles to work in the morning at 25 miles per hour? Besides, your duty cell phone has been ringing for a good 30 seconds and it’s starting to get on your nerves. So you answer it. Who cares?

AMC provides air service to GTMOBy MCC(SW) Bill Mesta

Air Mobility Command (AMC) transports base residents, equipment and supplies for Naval Station Guantanamo Bay every

week. AMC provides regularly scheduled flight

service to the naval station each Saturday to Jacksonville Fla. and Baltimore Md. Every other Tuesday a flight is offered to Jacksonville Fla. and Norfolk, Va.

“All residents of GTMO may purchase tickets to fly on the AMC flights,” said Drew Lasseter the naval station’s air field facilities manager.

All base residents are able to purchase tickets on AMC for family members who wish to visit GTMO, said Lasseter

Additionally, contractors have no special rules in regards to flying; they are eligible to purchase tickets for AMC travel, said Lasseter. If they are traveling internationally, they must have the appropriate paperwork to travel.

Commercial air service extendedBy MCC(SW) Bill Mesta

Commercial air service to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has been extended for one year.

The landing permit extension for commercial passenger and cargo service will expire Sept. 30, 2011, said Cmdr. James Thornton, the naval sta-tion’s operations officer.

The naval station is working with Air Mobility Command to insure uninterrupted air and cargo service to the base in the future, said Thornton.

From Naval Sea Systems Command Public Affairs

NORFOLK, Va. (NNS)—

The U.S. Navy conducted a full power demonstration of a Riverine Command Boat (experimental) (RCB-X) powered by alternative fuel, Oct. 22, aboard Naval Station Norfolk, Va.

Testing and evaluation of alternative fuels from the 49-foot fast and agile RCB-X boat supports the secretary of the Navy’s efforts to reduce the fleet’s reliance on fossil fuels and is part of a series of progressively complex tests and evaluations scheduled through 2012.

These exhibitions will culminate in 2012 with a Green Strike Group of U.S. Navy ships operating locally and by 2016 deploying a Great Green Fleet powered entirely by alternative fuels.

“Going green is about combat capability and assuring Navy’s mobility,” said Rear Adm. Philip Cullom, director of the Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division, which leads the Navy’s Task Force Energy. “It is not just about natural security; it also strengthens national security. By having reliable and abundant alternate sources of energy, we will no longer be held hostage by any one source of energy, such as petroleum.

“First and foremost, energy conservation extends tactical range

of our forces while also preserving precious resources. Our goal, as a Navy, is to be an ‘early adopter’ of new technologies that enhance national security in an environmentally sustainable way,” said Cullom.

The fuel, a “drop in replacement” to standard shipboard fuel, is 50 percent algae-based and 50 percent NATO F-76 fuel, which forms a 50/50 blend of hydro-processed renewable diesel, also known in industry as “HR-D.”

Additionally, HR-D, as opposed to biofuel, does not include water which is incompatible for shipboard fuel systems and does not have the limited serviceable life (typically six months) of biofuels. A blended hydro-processed renewable diesel fuel ensures that the

integrity of the fuel system is maintained. The Navy is incorporating a systematic approach of evaluating

systems, protocols and standard operating procedures. The testing and certification represents a cost-effective approach for the entire engine inventory.

The testing and evaluation is being led by Naval Sea Systems Command’s Advanced Fuels program office.

The installation must prove its ability to meet the requirements for Navy Mission Essential Tasks

(NMET.) NMET measurements are recorded in to the Defense Readiness Reporting System-Navy (DRRS-N) in various ways, including times, numbers, averages, or yes’/nos.

RTT visited Guantanamo and brought a security expert that provided feedback to the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) and security departments, said Kevin Robarge, the N7/Training and Readiness Coordinator and Installation Training Officer for the Naval Station.

“The overall goal is to increase our installation’s readiness and capabilities to handle problems,” said Robarge.

The necessary capabilities are broken down into two areas: emergency preparedness and all-hazards.

“All these threats to our installation, whether man-made or natural, focus on our

ability to coordinate all our base resources in order to save lives, save property, and carry out our mission,” said Robarge.

In order to do this, the installation’s personnel and departments must be ready and trained, said Robarge.

“This program is focused on testing, evaluating and continuously improving

that ability,” said Robarge.

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s installation readiness during a base-wide active shooter drill Oct. 21.

RTT members helped identify strengths and weaknesses in

installation readiness through a simulated active-shooter scenario, including a lockdown of the base’s junior/senior high school campus, first-responder reaction times, and the sounding of base warning sirens.

The drill required cooperation from the U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the naval station’s security, medical, training, public affairs and fire departments.

“In this drill, the [base] demonstrates their capabilities and integrates training during an active-shooter type of scenario,” said Hank Bugbee, the N71/Readiness and Requirements from CNRSE.
