* A detailed schedule and times will be published day of embark

Theodore Roosevelt’s 2014 Family and Friends Day Cruise will take place Wednesday, the 27th of August. We will

depart Naval Station Norfolk at 7:30 a.m. Boarding will begin at 4:00 a.m. with the expectation that all guests will be aboard by 7 a.m.

Family and Friends Day Cruise will take place on a normal workday. Guests should expect heavy traffic when traveling to Naval Station Norfolk and should plan for 15 to 20 minute delays on I-564.

When entering the base, guests that are riding in a vehicle with an individual who possesses a valid DoD ID card (CAC, De-pendent or Retired) may enter any open gate at Naval Station Norfolk. Access list will be located gates 3A and 2. Those guest that are not riding with someone with a valid DoD ID or do not have a valid DoD ID themselves MUST enter through Gate 2 (corner of Admiral Taussig and Hampton Blvd’s). Gate 2 will open no later than 3:45 a.m. on the 27th.

Parking for Family and Friends Day will be in the parking lots located across from Pier 12 (see maps on the back page).

All guests are required to have their boarding ticket and a pho-to ID with them to come onboard TR. Guests will pass through the security checkpoint (with their sponsor) located at the en-trance to Pier 12. This will be similar to a security checkpoint at an airport. Once through this checkpoint, guests and their

sponsor will proceed to the check in tables located on the pier. These tables are designated by departments or commands. Once you have completed this check-in process, guests and their sponsors will proceed up one of two brows located on air-craft elevator 2. Once aboard you are free to move about the Hangar Bay. Food and refreshments will be located in Hangar bay 2.

While TR does have top notch medical facilities and personnel, for the safety of all, guests with the following medical condi-tions will not be permitted to board: coronary heart disease with symptoms, heart attack within the last six months, epi-lepsy, active TB, hepatitis, chicken pox or other communicable disease, severe arthritis, severe asthma or severe restrictive airway disease, chronic lung disease requiring supplemental oxygen, movement requiring a walker or wheelchair, crutches or pregnant.

Be prepared for long lines for embarkation, food and access to various spaces. We ask for your patience.

Because of TR’s mission and the environment we operate in, for your safety closed-toed shoes are required and wearing comfortable cloths is recommended. Women should not wear skirts or dresses. Additionally, please make sure you bring sunscreen, and drink lots of water. Backpacks, large shoul-der bags, strollers, etc. are not permitted due to security and safety concerns.

USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT’S SAFETY FIRST BRIEF

Shipboard life is subject to hazardous working conditions. The fact that the ship is a con-stantly moving platform further contributes to a hazardous environment. For the safety of guests attending this Family and Friends Day Cruise, the following general safety standards are provided and are applicable to all shipboard operations and spaces.

GENERAL SHIPBOARD SAFETY STANDARDS

Compliance with the following requirements will help prevent accidents and injuries:

1. Stay with your sponsor/guide unless on part of the unescorted tour route.

2. Do not attempt to use ladders unless physically capable of doing so. If you have any doubts, notify your sponsor or guide immediately.

3. Watch your head and step at all times. The ship is full of “knee-knockers” and “head-bangers.” These include higher than normal steps up to the brow, pipes in the overhead, low doorways and overheads, high door thresholds, metal ladders, cable lifelines, bitts, cleats, lines, chains, cables and hoses on the decks.

4. Keep aware of your surroundings at all times. Visitors to the ship have been injured when they were distracted by events going on around them and failed to pay atten-tion to their own safety.

5. Dress appropriately. No skirts, high heels, flip flops, sandals, or open-toed shoes.

6. Always move up or down inclined ladders with at least one hand on the railing. Never slide down inclined ladders or take multiple steps at one time. Do not move between decks using access trunks and vertical ladders.

7. Horseplay is prohibited onboard the ship.

8. Remove rings, watches, key rings, and other items that may become entangled or caught.

9. Walk; don’t run in passageways, hangar bays, and on the flight deck.

10. Always be cautious when nearing a corner – expect someone to be coming from the other direction.

11. Always know the location of family members and guests, especially children under the age of sixteen. Sponsors must keep track of younger children and keep them away from the edges of the ship.

12. Smoke only in designated areas and only during authorized periods.

13. NEVER lean on or stand on a safety railing.

14. Do not wear sunglasses inside the skin of the ship or where darkened conditions

exist.

15. Be cautious around hatches, doors, knee-knockers, and over-all protruding objects which may cause injury/ accidents.

16. Observe all personal protective equipment requirements such as the wearing of hearing protection while on the flight deck during flight operations.

17. Promptly inform sponsor/ guide of any unsafe conditions discovered.

18. Be aware of decks that have obstacles and materials causing slippery conditions, par-ticularly if visiting industrial production work areas.

19. Remain clear of shipboard electrical equipment such as outlets and fuse boxes.

20. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated to combat the effects of high temperatures and humidity.

FLIGHT DECK SAFETY STANDARDS

Carrier Aviation is an amazing event to witness and undoubtedly most guests will want to be on the flight deck to observe flight operations. The flight deck is potentially the most dangerous area of the ship, so while touring the flight deck and when flight operations are in progress, it is essential to adhere to the following safety standards.

1. Do not bring items such as hats, bags, cups, and soda cans to the flight deck or obser-vation decks (vulture’s row). These can cause damage to aircraft and flight deck equip-ment or injury to personnel if they are lost, misplaced, dropped or left unattended.

2. Wear your supplied hearing protection while aircraft and support equipment are operat-ing.

3. Stand clear of catapults. They are steam powered and generate high temperatures.

4. Use extreme caution while walking in the vicinity of arresting gear cables. These cross deck pendants lie across the landing area and present a trip hazard.

5. Be aware of moving support equipment such as: tow tractors, fire trucks, forklifts and cranes.

6. Stand clear of aircraft elevators and their safety stanchions while in operation.

7. In the unlikely event of an accident or emergency, don’t panic, follow all instructions of flight deck personnel and exit the flight deck calmly and quickly.

Please be aware of the unique nature of the ship and potential for injury if you are not careful. The ship is not unnecessarily unsafe or hazardous, but unfamiliarity with normal operating con-ditions can contribute to accidents and injuries. Adherence to the above safety standards will ensure a safe and enjoyable cruise for all.

All hands are reminded that Family & Friends Day visitors are not authorized in Restricted Areas. Specifically, main propulsion spaces, the pilot house (bridge) and command/ control stations, weapons magazines, armories, and classified areas are off limits.
