Department of the Navy releases
Fiscal Year 2017 budget proposal
WASHINGTON - The Department of the Navy (DoN) released
its proposed $165 billion (Base
and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)) budget Feb. 9
for fiscal year (FY) 2017.
This budget is part of the $583
billion (Base and OCO) defense
budget President Barack Obama
submitted to Congress on the
same day.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of
the Navy for Budget Rear Adm.
William Lescher briefed media
at the Department of Defense
budget press conference about
the Navy and Marine Corps portion of the budget.
This year’s budget submis-
sion was guided by Chief of
Naval Operations Adm. John
Richardson’s Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority,
which reflects the character of
the security environment and
accounts for the forces at play in
the maritime system, the force of
the information system and the
force of technology entering the
environment. It makes key investments in people, platforms,
installations, and research and
development, so that the Department of the Navy can execute the
Defense Strategy.
The Department of the Navy
focuses on increasing readiness
and support for personnel in the
new budget, by adding billets for
base security and officer man-
ning, providing a 1.6 percent pay
raise, investing in Sailor 2025,
and improving how the Navy
matches sailors with jobs in the
fleet to ensure the Navy attracts,
trains and retains the very best
talent America has to offer.
FY17 budget includes a $45
billion (Base and OCO) procurement budget focused on improving high-end capability across all
warfare areas.
The FY17 budget buys seven
new ships in FY17 including two
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers,
two Virginia-class submarines,
two littoral combat ships, and
one America-class amphibious
assault ship to prioritize stability
in major combatant shipbuilding
as the fleet grows to 308 ships
in FY21.
Additionally, the FY17 budget
fully funds the Ohio-class Replacement SSBN and maintains
the Ohio Replacement Program
as the Navy’s top priority in
strengthening naval power at
and from the sea. The budget
funds 94 aircraft in FY17. F-35
FYDP production increases by
13 aircraft from the PB16 acquisition plan, accelerating the 5th
Generation Fighter transition.
In combination with the five
additional F-18s in FY16, two
in FY17, and 14 in FY18, these
investments help to mitigate the
department’s strike fighter shortage. The P-8 Poseidon profile
reflects the plan to accelerate
procurement of one additional
P-8 in FY16, and maintains the
production plan to complete the
buy in FY19.
The Department of the Navy released its proposed
$165 billion (Base and Overseas Contingency Operations) budget Feb. 9 for fiscal year 2017. This budget
is part of the $583 billion defense budget President
Barack Obama submitted to Congress on the same
day. The budget submission was guided by national
level mission guidance that defines the missions the
Navy and Marine Corps will execute as well as the dynamic operational environment. It makes key investments in people, platforms, and research and development, so the Department of the Navy can execute
the Defense Strategy. Navy photo
and across all spectrums.
budget includes a $55 billion
(Base and OCO) request for
operations and maintenance, emphasizing the balance of today’s
needs with future priorities when
Reflecting the continued need
to expand key capabilities to
meet dynamic changes in the
security environment of today,
this year’s submission includes
$17.3 billion for research and
development supporting the
Navy-Marine Corps team of the
future through technological
advantages designed to counter
adversaries in all environments

AMLEP boarding teams issue
citations off West Africa
ATLANTIC OCEAN - A combined Ghanaian boarding team completed a second boarding with support
from the United States Coast Guard aboard USNS
Spearhead (T-EPF 1), Feb. 6, as part of Africa Maritime Law Enforcement Partnership (AMLEP).
The joint Ghanaian boarding team issued the
commercial fishing vessel Zhong Lu Yu 1003 a citation and return to port order for a restricted area
violation.
USNS Spearhead (T-EPF 1) escorted the vessel
toward the port of Tema where it was handed off to
the Ghanaian Navy for escort into the harbor, where
Ghanaian Fisheries authorities will investigate the
boat for further violations.
Operations are being conducted from the Military
Sealift Command expeditionary fast transport vessel USNS Spearhead (T-EPF 1), in coordination with
the Ghanaian maritime operations center. Vessel
queries and boardings have commenced and the
operation’s objectives are to detect and enforce
maritime law against illegal activity while also increasing proficiencies of the forces that are participating in
the operation.
AMLEP is companion to and nested within the international collaborative capacity-building initiative
Africa Partnership Station (APS). APS, like AMLEP, seeks
to build maritime security capacity in order to increase
maritime safety and security.
USNS Spearhead deployed from Norfolk, Dec. 30,
and is on a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 6th
Fleet area of operations to support APS and conduct
AMLEP operations.

WASHINGTON - Navy installations worldwide will no
longer authorize base access for
individuals who do not have an
approved U.S. government-issued credential or state driver’s
license that is compliant with the
REAL ID Act of 2005.
Driver’s licenses from Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New
Mexico, Washington, and American Samoa are not compliant
with the congressionally-mandated REAL ID Act of 2005
and therefore personnel seeking
base access from these states
will require a secondary form
of identification.
Washington and Minnesota

however, which do meet the
REAL ID Act requirements, will
be accepted.
Navy installations will require
visitors who present a driver’s

state or territory to provide an
additional form of identification.
Examples include a U.S. passport or passport card; employment authorization document
(card); foreign passport with an
I-551 stamp; federal, state or
local government ID, Social Security card without restrictions;
student ID with photo; original
or certified copy of a birth
certificate issued in the U.S., or
a Native American Tribal document U.S. citizen identification
card (Form I-179).
“Information about the Real
ID Act has been shared with our

From World War II to Afghanistan: USO marks 75th anniversary

The USO marked its 75th
anniversary yesterday at a gala
here. Medal of Honor recipients,
USO volunteers, active duty
personnel, veterans, members
of Congress, and stars of stage,
screen and music gathered to
mark a milestone for an organization founded as America
geared up for World War II.
Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice
President Joe Biden, called the
group a family that stretches
around the world. J.D. Crouch,
the organization’s chief executive officer, thanked the celebrities for joining in the celebration
and for entertaining American
service members around the
world as ambassadors from the
American people. “You light up
our service members’ lives,” he
said, “and you remind Americans of the debt of gratitude
that we all owe to those who
serve.”
The USO came into being
during a dark time in history.
The United States was not at
war, but the rest of the world
seemed to be. Hitler’s troops
stood on the English Channel
and launched nightly air raids
against London. In the Pacific,
Japan eyed the colonial possessions of France and the Netherlands – two of the countries
Germany had conquered in its
1940 blitzkrieg.
In face of such threats, the
United States instituted a military draft, calling hundreds of
thousands of men to the colors,
and Americans wanted to reach
out to their young men. President
Franklin D. Roosevelt asked
charitable organizations to band
together to provide morale and
recreation services to service
members.
Six civilian organizations
answered the call: the Salvation
Army, the YMCA, the Young
Women’s Christian Association,
the National Catholic Community Service, the National
Travelers Air Association and
the National Jewish Welfare
Board. These organizations
chartered the USO in New York
on Feb. 4, 1941.
Japan attacked the United
States on Dec. 7, 1941, and
America entered the war. The
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
grew, with more than 12 million
men and women in uniform by
1945. And the USO grew as
well; by the war’s end, about
1.5 million Americans had volunteered for the USO.
change. And wherever the military went, the USO went, too.
There were USO centers in Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Somalia,
Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Actor-comedian Bob Hope
– a man who would be virtually
synonymous with the organization – held the first camp show
in 1941, and for the next five
decades, he was the face of the
organization.
The USO also has centers at
most major airports that provide
a place for service members and
their families to gather their wits
as they travel, and the organization also helps service members
as they transition out of the
military.

Ford tests DC, emergency
response during 1st GQ drill
USS Eisenhower rescues
distressed mariners at sea
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The crew of Pre-Commissioning
Unit Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) held their first all-hands general
quarters (GQ) damage control drill Feb. 4.
As the first shipwide drill aboard the new aircraft carrier,
Ford focused on damage control and emergency responses - a
significant step in certifying the crew as they train to fight and
take ownership of the ship.
“GQ is a meeting of the minds,” said Damage Controlman
1st Class Letitia McKelvey. “It allows departments who don’t
normally work together a chance to become a team. They build
teamwork and learn how to rely on each other for help.”
This teamwork is important when a ship is underway. At
sea, Sailors are responsible for all shipboard efforts. There is
no other support coming to aid in damage control efforts. The
crew itself serves as fire department, hospital and any other
emergency response personnel who would usually be called
upon. - by MC3 Kristopher Ruiz
ATLANTIC OCEAN - USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN
69) (Ike) rescued distressed mariners at sea, Feb. 7.
Ike received a distress call via bridge-to-bridge communications from the U.S.-flagged sailing vessel (S/V) Selket at
approximately 7 p.m. The vessel was located 40-miles from
Miami, with reports of a broken mast and smoke in the engine
room.
Due to the state of the sailing vessel and rough seas, Ike
launched a helicopter from embarked Helicopter Sea Combat
Squadron 9 Tridents to rescue the crew of five.
The mariners were medically evaluated aboard Ike before
being transferred to U.S. officials at U.S. Coast Guard Station
Opa Locka. Assisting mariners in distress is the responsibility
of all vessels at sea, even warships.
“Responding to mariners in distress is an inherit obligation
of the Navy; a duty we take very seriously,” said Capt. Paul
Spedero Jr., Ike’s commanding officer.

HVAC ranking member marks 8th
anniversary of Wounded Warrior Act
Rep. Corrine Brown (Fla.), Ranking Member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC), recently issued a statement marking
the 8th anniversary of the signing of the Wounded Warrior Provisions
contained in the National Defense Authorization Act of FY 2008,
saying “I salute the Wounded Warriors Act on its 8th anniversary
and our returning heroes who benefit.”
In February 2007, a series of Washington Post articles about conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center highlighted the challenges
our veterans face, which this law was designed to address and fix.
Specifically, provisions in the 2008 NDAA expanded concurrent
receipt for both Combat-Related Special Compensation for Chapter
61 retirees and of military retired pay and disability compensation for
Individual Unemployable rated less than 100 percent retroactively
to Jan. 1, 2005.
The program seeks to match service-disabled veterans with
employment opportunities in NAVSEA’s industrial, scientific,
contracting and administrative fields.
Internships offer the training and education for wounded warriors to excel in entry-level placements and advance in their chosen
field. NAVSEA has approximately 60,000 positions at 38 different
field activities across the country and overseas.
“Since 2009 NAVSEA’s Wounded Warrior retention rate is more
than 92 percent,” said NAVSEA Commander Vice Adm. Willy Hilarides. “That’s also incredible considering that they are such high-character individuals. They’re committed. They’re loyal. They’re highly
competent. We’re not hiring Wounded Warriors because we feel sorry
for them, NAVSEA isn’t a charity. We’re hiring them because of
their demonstrated skills and commitment to serve.”

It has been 45 years since the
making of “Different Sons,” 43
years since the end of America’s
military involvement in Vietnam,
and 40 years since the fall of Saigon and the chaos that ensued in
the immediate aftermath.
The D. C. Vietnam Memorial
has been in place for decades. La
Mesa’s early memorial and other
memorials around the country
have also existed for years. The
Vietnam War Museum was established in 1999 in Texas.
in the war at home - an internal
conflict that has lasted into present time.
But Americans are ready to
talk about Vietnam and its aftermath - and to thank the veterans
for their drafted service in a
divisive and bloody conflict.
They came home changed; they
endured; and they are a testament to the human capacity to
transcend suffering and greet
another day. We have reached
“another day” in our country.
The Wounded Warrior program works with hiring managers
and Wounded Warrior candidates during the hiring process and
continues to support Wounded Warrior employees through the
Mentor, Assist, Train to Excel and Support program. The skills
and experiences of Wounded Warriors and veterans represents
a rich resource of talent that can support NAVSEA’s mission of
developing, delivering and maintaining ships and systems on time,
on cost for the Navy.
“Vets are a highly respected part of our workforce, and paramount to the mission we serve every day,” said Capt. Ann Duff, the
Wounded Warrior program manager. “NAVSEA is serious about
hiring and training remarkable young men and women, into our
civilian ranks who have already proved themselves in uniform,
and giving them an opportunity to keep serving.”
Since Wounded Warrior outreach began, NAVSEA commands
have steadily increased both hiring goals and successes, hiring a
total of 3,057 Wounded Warriors between the program’s start in
2009 through December 2015.
Despite these commemorations, as everyone knows,

on creating a seamless transition.
In retrospect, the “Wounded
Warrior” provisions made major
improvements, but many of them
still remain a work in progress.
In Rep. Brown’s statement, she
pledged to continue to work with
DoD and VA to make sure our
wounded warriors get the best
medical care available.
WASHINGTON - Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA),
Wounded Warrior program exceeded its fiscal year 2015 hiring
goal by 78 percent with the onboarding of 711 veterans across
the enterprise, NAVSEA announced Feb. 4.
The program will include
a 10-minute overview of the
war by a visiting historian, a
screening of the 1970 documentary “Different Sons” and
Q&A with the filmmaker Jack
Ofield, and a primary focus on
the memories and viewpoints
of Vietnam veterans and nurses
and their families. The program
will be videotaped for posterity
by LGHS’ videographer-in-residence Robert Stuckey.
There will be a display of
veterans’ memorabilia, along
with photographs, documents
and books about the 20-year war
that sacrificed more than 58,000
U. S. military and nurses (with
over 1,600 missing in action) between 1962-1975, and millions
of Vietnamese, Cambodians and
Laotians between 1955 and the
fall of Saigon in 1975.

them the means and tools to access information wherever they
are, when they want it and in
ways they find most convenient
for them.”
For enlisted Sailors and veterans who are not using Navy
COOL to fund credentialing
exams and fees, the app also
provides a gateway to Department of Veterans Affairs GI
Bill funding options.
The Navy COOL app is
a b r i n g - y o u r- o w n d e v i c e
(BYOD) tool designed to work
on personal devices outside of
the NMCI domain. Users can
download the Navy COOL
app from the Apple store and
Sailors can now access several
tools and resources found on
Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) via their
mobile devices with a new Navy
COOL application that launched
Jan. 28.
The Navy COOL app, available for both Android and iOS/
Apple devices, is designed to
help Sailors, both enlisted and
officer, to find information on
credentialing, career development, and civilian crosswalks
related to their military occupation.
“This new app provides an
expanded capability for Sailors to help them translate the
skills they’ve learned on the
job into civilian credentials,
career growth opportunities and
related civilian occupations,”
said Keith Boring, Navy COOL
program manager. “The app is a
great complement to our newly
redesigned website and provides
extra features that I think Sailors
will find handy to have at their
fingertips.”
Besides credentialing information, the app provides enlisted members with Learning
and Development Roadmaps
(LaDRs), which are rating-specific online guides that explain
in detail what Sailors need to
succeed at specific points in their
career. Additional app features
include snapshots of related
civilian occupations and United
Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) trades,
along with generic joint service
transcripts associated with each

Submarine Force commander
welcomes future officers to fleet
by MC2 Jonathan Correa
ANNAPOLIS, Md. The
Navy’s top submarine commander welcomed the future
submariners of the U.S. Naval
Academy’s Class of 2016 to the
fleet at a dinner and reception
Feb. 2.
Commander, Submarine Force
Atlantic, Vice Adm. Joe Tofalo addressed the 137 first-class
midshipmen who were selected
for service assignment about the
history of U.S. Navy submarines
and the part they will have as
future submarine officers.
“You are that future of the submarine community, and we need
you to do what you are doing and
step up to be part of this legacy
we have,” said Tofalo. “If you
think about a submarine, there is
not one single defensive weapon
on a sub. We are all teeth. During
World War II Navy submarines
made up less than 2 percent of
the forces but were responsible
for about 55 percent of maritime
losses. Now submarines are re-
sponsible for over 50 percent of
our nation’s nuclear weapons.”
The assignment dinner is an
annual event and represents
a unique opportunity for the
Midshipmen to meet the senior
submarine officers in the Navy
and be welcomed into the community.
“I am very proud of what you
have done,” said Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm.
Ted Carter. “The submarine
community has been our asymmetric advantage going back to
World War II and still continues
to be today. You, the Class of
2016, are going to lead that into
the future.”
Midshipmen were able to sit
and talk with senior submarine
officers including Adm. James
F. Caldwell Jr., director of the
Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program; Vice Adm. William H.
Hilarides, commander of Naval
Sea Systems Command; Rear
Adm. David J. Hahn, senior
technical advisor to the deputy
chief of naval operations for
information dominance; and
Rear Adm. Michael E. Jabaley,
program executive officer for
submarines.
“It is very motivating to hear
from some of the top submarine
officers in the fleet,” said Midshipman 1st Class Riley Miller.
“I am so privileged and honored
to be one of the women selected,
because it was really competitive
in my class. I cannot wait to go
out in to the fleet and hopefully
get on a fast attack.”
“It was a very exciting process to become the first class of
women to enter the submarine
community,” said Lt. Kayla
Barron, flag aid to the academy
superintendent.
Barron was part of the Naval
Academy Class of 2010 and in
the first-ever group of women
to enter the submarine community.
“I would tell the midshipmen
to work as hard as they can in
power school and prototype, so
they can show up to their first
command with a good technical
foundation and then work to
develop a really good relationship with the crew because that’s
what makes or breaks a junior
officer,” she said. “The Sailors
are willing to help train and
help with your development in
becoming a strong leader.”
The Naval Academy Class
of 2016 received their service
assignments Nov. 19, a milestone that put them one step
closer to joining the fleet. After
graduation May 27, these 137
midshipmen will attend power
school and prototype training
before heading to their first
command.

AT&T contributes $25,000 to United Through
Reading in support of military families
San Diego-based nonprofit
United Through Reading was
gifted with $25,000 from AT&T
Corporation in support of the
military families they serve. The
gift will support United Through
Reading’s efforts to bridge the
distance for military families
who are separated by deployment, training or active-duty
assignment by facilitating the
bonding experience of reading
aloud together.
American heart month: Are you at risk?
by Yan Kennon
February is American Heart
Month, a time to raise awareness
about heart disease and learn
strategies to prevent it.
Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, stroke
and high blood pressure, is the
leading cause of death for both
men and women in the U.S. It
is responsible for one in four
deaths each year. According to
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, it also costs
the U.S. over $320 billion each
year in health care, medication,
and lost productivity.
AT&T is committed to supporting veterans and military
families through a variety of
financial contributions, programs and collaborations with
organizations dedicated to servicemen and women. AT&T’s
partnership with United Through
Reading began in 2014 with
corporate philanthropic support
of United Through Reading’s
programming. In May 2015,
AT&T employees and retirees
participated in a virtual book
drive for United Through Reading in recognition of National
Military Appreciation Month.
During this campaign, AT&T
committed to providing a $2
to $1 match of funds, inspiring
AT&T employees to participate
nationwide, and raising a total
contribution of $32,655. AT&T
employees made personal donations ranging from $10 to $1,000
each; one individual employee
donated $600, providing an
entire year’s supply of books to
one military command.
Ignacio De La Torre, Regional Vice President for AT&T
California presented a $25,000 donation check to
United Through Reading’s Board Chair Jeff Mader;
CEO, Sally Ann Zoll, Ed.D.; and former Board Chair
Dwayne Junker on Friday, February 5.
“AT&T is proud to support United Through Reading,” said Ignacio
De La Torre, Regional VP of AT&T California. “And to help connect
families of active military soldiers to their kids back home.”
“We are so grateful to AT&T for this generous contribution to our
mission. It’s an honor to have them join us in support of military
families,” said Sally Ann Zoll, Ed.D., United Through Reading’s
Chief Executive Officer. “AT&T clearly sees the importance of lifting up the military families who give so much to our country, and
their donation will allow us to make an incredible impact on these
families through the bonding read-aloud experience.”
“Everyone is potentially at
risk for heart disease, but it is
preventable,” said Capt. Michael Sullivan, Naval Hospital
(NH) Jacksonville’s director
for medical services. “Prevention is a life-long commitment.
The smart and healthy choices
we make now, such as exercise
and diet, will benefit our heart
and overall health in the years
to come.”
Some factors that put people
at a higher risk are race, ethnicity, or having close relatives
with heart disease. Controllable factors include diabetes,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, poor
diet and tobacco use.
NH Jacksonville’s Medical Home Port teams place
patients in the center of a
collaborative team of caregivers that are dedicated to each
patient’s comprehensive care
needs, including heart disease
prevention.
Patients are encouraged to
visit their primary care managers for an annual checkup. To
control risks: monitor blood
pressure and cholesterol, manage diabetes, eat healthily,
manage weight, get exercise,
quit tobacco, limit alcohol, take
prescribed medications and follow treatment plans.
In addition, NH Jacksonville’s Wellness Center offers
a variety of classes for active
duty, retirees, and family members. Classes include health
fitness assessments, Healthy
Heart (cholesterol and blood
pressure management), Choose
My Plate (healthy eating),
ShipShape (weight loss for
active duty, retirees and family members) and Tobacco
Cessation.
Celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year, NH Jacksonville’s priority since its
founding in 1941 is to heal
the nation’s heroes and their
families. The command is
comprised of the Navy’s third
largest hospital and five branch
health clinics across Florida
and Georgia.
Of its patient population
(163,000 active and retired Sailors, soldiers, Marines, airmen,
guardsmen, and their families),
about 85,000 are enrolled with
a primary care manager and
Medical Home Port team at one
of its facilities.

app, visit www.med.navy.mil/

Pacific Partnership holds resident, faculty Scholarly Activity Fair
by MC2 Benjamin Kelly
SAN DIEGO - The inaugural Pacific Partnership (PP) Resident
and Faculty Scholarly Activity Fair was held at Naval Medical Center
San Diego (NMCSD), Feb. 5.
The Scholarly Activity Fair showcased challenging cases, research
and quality improvement projects performed by Navy Medicine West
Higgins returns from deployment
SAN DIEGO - San Diegobased USS Higgins (DDG 76)
returned here Feb. 11 from
a 225-day independent deployment to the Arabian Gulf,
Western Pacific, and Indian
Oceans.
While deployed to the U.S.
5th and 7th Fleets, the ship and
crew of more than 300 Sailors,
assigned to Destroyer Squadron
Two Three (DESRON 23), conducted presence and maritime
security operations in support
of Carrier Strike Group Eight
and multiple Combined Task
Forces.
During the deployment, USS
Higgins conducted numerous Visit, Board, Search, and
Seizure (VBSS) missions, participated in several joint and
coalition exercises, and also
responded to high priority missions during the first absence of
an aircraft carrier from U.S. 5th
Fleet since 2007.
While on station in the Arabian Gulf, USS Higgins also
rescued four Saudi Arabian
fishermen after their boat had
caught fire. The crew was able
to retrieve the four men from
the water and return them safely
to local authorities, greatly contributing to relations between
the U.S. Navy and the local
populace.
“I could not be more pleased
with the hard work and dedication from this crew,” said Cmdr.
Allen P. Johnson, commanding
officer of Higgins. “I know we
can all reflect on this time we
have spent underway and be
proud of the contributions we
have all made to our nation and
national security.”
Higgins is a multi-mission
ship with anti-air warfare, antisubmarine warfare and antisurface warfare surface combatants capabilities; designed to
operate independently or with
an associated strike group.
The ship is homeported in
San Diego and is part of Naval
Surface Forces and 3rd Fleet.

residents, fellows and faculty
members during PP 2015 and
promoted continued scholarship
during PP 2016. More than 115
personnel attended the fair, including Capt. Jose Acosta, commanding officer, NMCSD; Capt.
Melanie Merrick, commanding
officer of hospital ship USNS
Mercy (T-AH 19); members of
the NMCSD Executive Steering Committee; and residents,
fellows and faculty from both
NMCSD and Naval Hospital
Camp Pendleton.
“This is success!” said Acosta.
“When people talk about ‘Balboa Magic,’ this is what they
are talking about; bringing the
residents, making their education better and making Balboa
better. Capt. Merrick was able
to make this PP mission one of
the most successful.”
During PP 2015, the Mercy
brought medical and surgical
services to the host nations of
Fiji, Papua New Guinea, the
Philippines and Vietnam. Thirtyseven residents, two fellows and
more than 20 faculty members
from 15 graduate medical education (GME) programs were selected to participate in PP 2015.
They performed clinical and
educational activities, including
surgical engagements aboard
Mercy and ashore, community
health exchanges at local clinics, community outreach events
in remote villages and subject
matter expert exchanges in local
hospitals.
During and after their PP
2015 rotation, the residents and
fellows worked with their supervising faculty members on a case
report or case series, research
project, quality improvement
project or critical reflection.
Thirty-one abstracts, authored
by more than 60 trainees and
faculty members, were submit-

Merrick expressed enthusiasm
for this one-of-a-kind event in
Navy Medicine.
“I read every single one of
those 31 abstracts. I remember
the patients very well,” said
Merrick. “I am excited for those
cases to be presented here today,
showing the extraordinary care
that was rendered during our
mission.”
During PP 2015, the Navy
Medicine West residents, fellows
and faculty members collaborated with physicians and nurses
from the four host nations, five
partner nations (Australia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and New
Zealand) and non-governmental
organizations such as Project
Hope, Operation Smile and
Latter Day Saints Charities. The
mission provided a unique opportunity for trainees and faculty
to receive valuable clinical experience and education in health
care disparities on a global scale
and to participate in initiatives to
address those disparities.
“We are focusing our efforts
on collaboration among host
nations and partner nations for
disaster preparedness in the
places that Mercy goes,” said
Merrick. “The mission is about
much more than pulling up pier
side, putting down the ramp and
taking care of all comers.”
NMCSD leadership plans to
repeat the Scholarly Activity Fair
after each PP mission, extending the beneficial impact from
host nation patients, nurses and
physicians to our stateside GME
programs, parent commands and
Navy Medicine at large.

ENCINITAS - On a breezy
Wednesday afternoon last month,
Marine Corps Sgt. Michel A.
Garcia stood tall alongside his
color guard teammates during a
ceremony honoring World War
II veterans at a retirement community here.
male on my mother’s side of the
family has been in the military, to
include the Guatemalan National
Army, so I just knew I was going
to join the armed forces.”
his drill instructors were the
epitome of the Marine Corps.
He said it takes a truly dedicated
Marine to be able to train and
make other Marines.
“It’s a great experience,”
said Garcia. “I really appreciate honoring those who came
before us.”
Garcia hails from Newport
News, Virginia. He said he was
an avid wrestler in high school
and had planned to enlist immediately after graduation, but
some members of his family
were not too keen on letting
him join.
“Eight years later, I still remember all of my drill instructors’ names,” said Garcia. “They
just made such a dramatic impact
in my life and I someday want
to be that person for somebody
else.”
Garcia is a heavy equipment
mechanic with 7th Engineer
Support Battalion and has been
a Marine for almost eight years.
He said he began his military
career before he even stepped on
the famous yellow footprints.
“I wanted to join the Marine
Corps right after high school,”
he said. “But my mom convinced
me to try the college route. I did
the whole school thing and it
really wasn’t for me. I even tried
the nine-to-five routine.”
“I’m a military brat,” Garcia
said. “I always knew I was going
to join the Marine Corps.”
Civilian life - same old thing,
day in and day out - had no
appeal to him, he said. And he
said it got worse when all of his
friends started coming home
from college.
He said his family has always
been involved with the military
in one form or another. Aside
from having several family
members in the U.S. military,
members of Garcia’s family
have also served in another
nation’s military.
“My uncle is in the Army,”
Garcia said. “One of my cousins
is also in the Army and another
cousin is in the Air Force. Every
“I’ll never forget,” he said.
“All my friends were coming
home from school with their
degrees, and every time I saw
them, the conversation eventually led to what I am up to these
days.”
Garcia said he remembers
when he worked at a grocery

store and felt like he didn’t
have much of a future. Even
the thought of moving up into
management had no appeal to
him, he said.
“I just said to myself, ‘Hey,
I’m not getting any younger,
and enough is enough. I need to
join the Marine Corps,’” Garcia
said. “My mom wasn’t too fond
of it, but once I graduated recruit
training, I had never seen her so
proud. She was just bawling her
eyes out.”
In April, it will be eight years
since Garcia walked across the
parade deck at Marine Corps
Recruit Depot San Diego.
“This is my second enlistment,” he said. “And I
definitely plan on enlisting
for a third time. I want nothing more than to someday be a
drill instructor. I want to make
Marines.”
Being a drill instructor may
be Garcia’s ultimate goal, but he
said he feels blessed to be a part
of the color guard.
“Getting to do color guard
and the chance to meet a lot of
veterans means the world to me.
I feel like it shows respect to the
Marines who came before us,”
he said.
Garcia said he feels very
proud of the things he has accomplished in the Marine Corps, but
that none of it would have been
possible without the love and
support of his wife, Chelsea.
“She’s my rock,” Garcia said
with a smile. “Whenever I get
out of line she makes sure to put
me back in my place.”
When asked whether or not
he and his wife plan on raising
any future Marines of their own,
Garcia just laughed and said,
“We already have two kids,
Rocky and Maya. They’re both
Siberian huskies and they’re
both a handful.”

that other people provide. Develop
appreciation this week.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
The New Moon in your sign this
week might mark the beginning
of a new phase in your personal

The partnership between DoD and the Armed Services YMCA offers no-cost memberships and respite

McGrane: Pope, Aztecs refusing to fold
by Mick McGrane
Winston Shepard knows full
well the power of the poison pen,
the cruelty of the critics’ corner
and the wrath of those intent on
chronicling his every wrong.
So when the question was
posed concerning The Shot Heard
‘Round Viejas on Saturday, the
one that wasn’t even drawn up for
Malik Pope, Shepard ran interference for Pope with only slightly
less ferocity than a 300-pound
pulling guard.
“First of all, Malik is my brother,” Shepard said. “I’ve believed in
him since Day 1. I talk to him all
the time and tell him not to worry
about it. I feel like I’m the one
player in the history of this school
to know what Malik has been going through. To come up with a
big shot like that, just to have the
guts to even take it, that’s the kind
of stuff you have to have to win a
championship. I’m so proud of
him. I can’t think of anyone else
I would have rather seen hit that
shot. We needed it.”
Desperately they needed it.
Fingernails-chewed-to-the-quick
needed it. Clock-ticking-louder-
than-your-heartbeat needed it.
On the line? Aside from an
opportunity to virtually seal the
Mountain West regular-season
title and equal the best start in
league history (11-0) set by Utah
in 2003-04, there was also the
small matter of San Diego State
playing for its NCAA Tournament
life, with early-season missteps
making additional stumbles potentially perilous.
So when New Mexico, leading 66-63 with 12 seconds left in
regulation, was whistled for an
inbounds violation, the Aztecs
called timeout and huddled on
the sideline. The much-heralded
Pope, whose season has been
anything but smooth, was 0-for3 from the floor. For the season,
he was 12-of-50 from three-point
range. SDSU broke the huddle
with a play designed for guard
Trey Kell.
And a Plan B.
“I want to let everybody know
that when we were three points
behind and took a timeout, Coach

Dutcher said, ‘What about (putting) Malik in to get another three-

you and you’re unguarded at the
three-point line, shoot it in.’”
The initial plan, Fisher said,
was to run misdirection and set
a screen for Kell to get an open
shot from the corner. Instead,
Pope, who arrived at SDSU as
a five-star recruit but has had
endured more than his share of a
sophomore slump, let fly from 22
feet with eight seconds left. The
net barely rippled.
It was Pope’s only made basket
of the affair and forced overtime,
where the Aztecs had won 19
times in their previous 21 games
involving an extra session. An
8-0 run that began with a Shepard
tip-in finally put away the Lobos
away, 78-71, as SDSU moved to
18-6 overall. With seven games
remaining, the Aztecs hold a 3.5game lead over the Lobos and a
four-game lead over Boise State
and Fresno State.
They also may hold a player
poised to pounce in Pope, whose
shot to send the game to overtime was motivated as much by
a shrinking clock as a slap in
the face.
“Dutch told me that if I wasn’t
guarded to just pop out and take
it,” said Pope, who as a freshman last season finished third on
the team in made three-pointers
(20) despite ranking eighth in
minutes played. “When (I realized I wasn’t being guarded), I
thought, ‘Wow, that’s kind of
disrespectful.’
“I gave a second look at Trey,
but it was taking a little too
long so I just let it go. It felt
really good, but I couldn’t get
excited right away because we
had to make sure they didn’t get
a quick bucket coming down the
stretch.”
Said Fisher: “I’m proud of
Malik. It’s easy to throw darts and
point at his stats. But he’s hung
tough. He’s stayed tough and it’s
a credit to Malik. But it’s a credit
to his teammates, too. They’ve
encouraged, they’ve demanded
and they’ve pushed the right
way. And that’s what you have to
do. You can’t let your shoulders
slump and feel sorry for yourself
if you want to be good.
“He had a wonderful moment
with that basket, but he also did
some other nice things, too.”
As did a parade of others.
Freshman point guard Jeremy
Hemsley continued to soar, finishing with a career-high 23
points while scoring in double
figures for the 20th time in 24
games. Shepard became just the
second Aztec since 1996-97 to
finish with at least 15 points,
seven rebounds, one block and
one steal in the same game. Kell
(12 points) extended a career high
with his 11th-straight double-figure scoring game.
“I’m sure guys across the conference are saying, ‘Man, those
guys are lucky,’ “ Shepard said of
a team that won its second overtime game in three weeks. “But
I don’t care if you go to Vegas,
you’re not going to get lucky 11
times in a row.
“Credit our whole coaching
staff and credit our team. We
have no quit, no let-up, we don’t
put our heads down and we don’t
point fingers.”
Particularly in the direction of
Malik Pope.
Face of Defense: Marine
Bags Five-Peak Challenge
by Cpl. Angel Serna
Like many before him, Marine
Corps Staff Sgt. Kenneth Bell
learned quickly that being a
triathlete isn’t about some lofty,
beautiful talent -- it’s about hard
work and dedication.
Late last year, Bell participated in the Mission Trails Regional
Park Five-Peak Challenge. The
challenge, which takes place in
the mountains east of San Diego,
is to hike at one’s own pace to
the summits of Cowles Mountain, Pyles Peak, Kwaay Paay,
and North and South Fortuna
-- all five peaks in the park. The
total vertical elevation surpasses
6,000 feet.
Triathletes and other participants wanted to make it even
more difficult and asked event

AutoMatters & More: Harry Potter at Universal and the shelf life of sneakers
Hogwarts
Castle
Harry Potter at Universal
Studios Hollywood
I had already made the long
drive up from San Diego to Hollywood to drop off a camera at
Nikon’s west coast service facility, so this day would be a good
opportunity to visit Universal
Studios Hollywood and check
out the construction progress at
“The Wizarding World of Harry
Potter.” With a small, clip-on
olloclip Active Lens (2x zoom
and ultra-wide angle lenses – see
https://www.olloclip.com) for
my iPhone hanging from its neck
strap, I entered the park.
Hogwarts Castle was already
visible in the distance, as were
the many rooftops of the buildings that will transport you right
into “The Wizarding World of
Harry Potter.” A sign on a wall
reveals the opening date: April
7th. For now though, satisfy your
need for all things Harry Potter
new 3-D attraction based on
the “Fast and the Furious”
movie franchise. Hold on
tight to your belongings. In
all the excitement I fumbled
with my olloclip Active Lens
in the dark and dropped it
from the tram. Fortunately,
the staff at Universal Studios
Hollywood could not be more
helpful. A little later they
went into the attraction building and found my rugged
little olloclip lens – intact,
despite its close proximity
to where several trams filled
with visitors had passed by
since I dropped it! Needless
to say I was very happy and
grateful.
That reminded me of the
decades-old Timex watch
by visiting the gift shop and taking an interactive tour online at
http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/harrypotter/.
From there I embarked upon
a tram for the 50th anniversary
Studio Tour. Favorite experiences include the torrential raininduced flash flood down the
street of a Mexican village,
parting of the waters as the tram
drives through, the “Jaws” shark
attack and King Kong in 3-D.
Hold on tight as an earthquake
demolishes your underground
subway station.
For the finale, you will enter a
torture test advertising campaign, with its recurring tag line:
“Timex -- it takes a licking and
keeps on ticking.” Considering
my experience, perhaps olloclip
should do its own torture test
ads, using the tag line: “Olloclip
-- it takes a licking and keeps on
clicking” (shutter clicking, get
it?). Their customers could join
in the fun by emailing in their
own true stories about olloclip’s
durability and quality. Wouldn’t
that be cool?
Sneakers: Use Them or
Lose Them
Did you know that sneakers
have a shelf life? I did not, and
paid the price for that. Hopefully
my experience will help you
avoid a similar fate.
Years ago, at a time when I
needed a new pair of sneakers,
a store had some sort of great
sales promotion. Perhaps it was
buy one pair and get a second
pair for half price. Whatever
the case, I bought two pairs and
started to wear one of them. I
put the other pair away, to use
when I next needed a new pair
of sneakers.
soles. When new it is flexible,
but it has a shelf life. In other
words, these shoes – whether
worn or not – will basically fall
apart if enough years pass. This
has also happened to expensive
serve PU but they are not cost effective or practical. The bottom
line is this: wear your sneakers.
Do not save them.
For more information, check
Lots of time passed and I forgot I had that second pair. That
was until a couple of weeks ago,
when my current pair of sneakers
had well and truly worn out. I
spotted the new pair in my closet
and then wore them all day.
When I returned home, something very unusual caught my
attention. The leather upper
portion of those “new” sneakers
was separating big time from the
sole. They looked like clown
shoes as I walked in them.
At first I thought I had bought
a defective pair of what were reasonably expensive sneakers, so I
wrote to the manufacturer. While
I waited for their reply, I learned
from the Internet that this is a
common problem. It is known as
flexible PU degradation.
PU is polyurethane foam
– typically used in running shoe

out the fascinating expose at
www.wired.com/2015/05/sneakers.
Apparently this is caused by a
reaction with the moisture in air,
elevated temperature and other
common environmental factors,
including pollution.

Love is a four legged word
Should Fido come with you on your road trip?
www.tripswithpets.com
How to decide whether to bring
your dog with you on your next
trip. By Kim Salerno My dogs are
my kids, and I love spending time
with them. I would be completely
happy to take them everywhere I
go, and I know that other pet parents feel the same way. However,
as fun as it seems, the decision to
take a pet on the road – particularly on a lengthy trip – is one that
requires some thought. Before
you load your pets in the car, it’s
important that you take some factors into consideration – keeping
their best interests in mind.
Does Your Pet’s Temperament Lend itself to Road
Trips?
Some of my dogs are more
easygoing than others, and some
of them enjoy road trips more than
others. If your pet is adaptable
and friendly, choosing to take him
along is a pretty easy decision.
However, if he’s nervous, uneasy
on car rides, or if he gets anxious
going to new places or meeting
new people, he may not be an
ideal travel companion (not to say
that he can’t be with a llittle bit of
training).
It’s also important to consider
others when you plan your trip. If
you will be going anywhere where
there may be crowds, children, or
other pets, your pet needs to be
well-behaved and well-social-
along will probably be good for
him. If you’re undecided, a quick
consultation with your vet can help
you figure out whether taking him
along is in his best interest.
Are You Traveling Across State
Lines?
ized.
Will Your Pet Enjoy the
Trip?
Will your pet be comfortable?
Will he enjoy the activities you
have planned? All of my dogs love
a good outdoor adventure, so a
hiking or beach trip is a no-brainer.
Tucker loves coming along when
I go window shopping, or when
I stop for lunch at a dog friendly
restaurant. You know your dog
best, so you are the best person
to judge whether he would have
a good time. If you will be stuck
in meetings throughout your trip
and forced to leave Fido in doggie
day care (many pet friendly hotels
prohibit pets from staying in your
room without you), or if you and
your Great Dane will be staying in
your sister’s tiny apartment, you
may want to reevaluate whether
your pet should come along.
Is Your Pet in Good
Health?
If your pet is unwell or hurt,
your first instinct may be to travel
with him so you can keep an eye on
him. After all, who would care for
him better than you? However, it
may be best for your pet to stay behind until he feels better. After all,
he may need more care than you
can give him while you’re busy
driving, and since he can’t tell you
how he feels, there’s no real way
of knowing how uncomfortable
he really is. Pain and discomfort
can even cause your pet to act out,
making him a less-than-pleasant
travel companion.
If your pet is elderly, but otherwise feels well, you’ll need
to make the call. If he is used to
taking car trips, still enjoys them,
and feels comfortable, taking him

“One day I was zipping by on
my bicycle and someone I know
told me, ‘Hey, you’re pretty good
on that bicycle. You should try
participating in a duathlon. You just
run, bike and run again,’” Bell said.
“After that, I just got hooked.”
After participating in a duathlon, Bell said he was determined
to try a triathlon, but he wasn’t a
good swimmer. So, he practiced
until he found a whole new level
of fitness.
Bell said his first few events
were unremarkable -- he was
mostly competing to test himself.
It wasn’t until the 2015 Ironman
70.3 SuperFrog event that he said
he was actually impressed with
his results.
“My greatest accomplishment
was at the SuperFrog Ironman,”
Bell said. “My completion time
was five hours and 14 minutes.
That race was truly a testament
to hard work and consistent training, because I had improved in
all three disciplines of the sport
and completed each event at my
personal best.”
He has now participated in
more than 25 endurance training
events and was recently named a
2016 Bronze Ironman All World
Athlete. Bell said one of his new
goals is to earn a professional card
as a triathlete.
“I don’t know if that route would
turn into a career but, if I got to
spend one year as a pro, that would
be one of my top achievements,”
said Bell.

PET
WORLD
by
Steve Dale
Veterinarians were overwhelmed with an epidemic of
the dog flu in the Chicago area
(including Northwest Indiana) this
past spring.
Veterinarians quickly realized
this flu strain is different than the
dog flu first discovered in the U.S.
in 2004, and identified it as new flu
strain, H3N2. Oddly, it’s a strain
of flu that arrived in the U.S. from
Southeast Asia.
There are a number of ways to
successfully deal with temperament problems. With good training
and patient coaching, your pet can
become less sensitive to stimuli
and more comfortable with travel.
Be aware that most desensitizing
techniques take time to work, and
if you want your pet to be a happy
travel companion, you’ll need to
be patient and understanding and
let him set the pace.
Minn., says there is only sure way
to avoid the virus, and that’s to be
vaccinated with the new vaccine
specific for H3N2. Lee answers
some of your dog flu questions:
Q: Living so close to Chicago,
but not that close, do I need to get
our dog vaccinated for the dog flu?
- C. K., Kenosha, WI
A: “The dog flu is occurring in
states further away from Chicago
than Wisconsin,” says Lee. “And
the dog flu has been identified in
Wisconsin. Whether the vaccine
If your pet suffers from travel
anxiety, planning brief trips, or
planning trips that end up somewhere exciting and fun can help
teach him that travel is rewarding.
If your pet experiences motion
sickness during car rides, there
are a number of remedies that may
alleviate his suffering, including
holistic remedies, reconditioning
and medication.
All told, with a little bit of patience and some hard work from
both of you, even a reluctant pet
traveler can learn to like car trips,
opening up new opportunities for
you both to explore and enjoy each
other’s company.

is a good idea for your dog depends on what your veterinarian
is seeing. However, if you travel to
Chicago, or your dog is in day care
or boarded with dogs potentially
from the Chicago area, I’d say your
dog is at more risk.”
Lee says that while the virus
isn’t seasonal, boarding is a significant factor in spreading the
flu. And if there’s a season for
boarding dogs, this is it. No matter,
where you live, if you are boarding
your dog, Lee says to consider the
vaccine.
Of course, dogs travel and soon
the virus spread - ultimately to
about half the country.
At the height of what was called
an epidemic, this past spring and
summer, it’s estimated that at least
a thousand dogs in the Chicago
area were sickened, and at least
eight dogs died.
While the epidemic in Chicago
area has subsided, the H3N2 strain
of dog flu is still occurring in the
Windy City and elsewhere. The
most recent outbreak is ongoing
in Austin, Texas. In all at least 50
dogs across the country have tested
positive for H3N2 this month.
Having said that, a considerable
number of pet owners decline
testing due to the cost or simply
because they feel treatment is going to be the same anyway.
A Merck Animal Health survey discovered that 71 percent
of stricken dogs were ages one
to seven years, and that day care
and boarding facilities were the
potential infection source in eight
out of 10 cases.
Still, avoiding the dog flu can
be challenging, since about 20
percent of dogs carrying the virus
exhibit no symptoms, but are
contagious. Even if dogs are “antisocial,” they can still get the virus
from being where other dogs have
been, such as elevators in high rise
buildings.

critical care specialist in St. Paul,
Bandit is an 8 years
young neutered Black
Lab Mix who weighs
50lbs. The volunteers
have discovered that he
is a bit reserved at first
when they go on their
walks together. But once
he gets to know you he
will lean on your legs
for attention and petting. Bandit is a mature gentleman who won’t come with all of
that destructive puppy behavior,
but will still love spending time
with you on walks and hanging
out for down time. Meet this
handsome guy by asking for
ID#A1677046 Tag#C212. Bandit can be adopted for $35.

blue torbie who weighs 17lbs.
She is a friendly, outgoing gal

humans and being petted, but
seems to be afraid of other
cats so would need to be the
only cat in the home. Meet

Cece can be adopted for $35.
Bell, a helicopter mechanic with
Headquarters Co., I Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters
Group. “It took me five hours and
ten minutes to cover the 20 miles
and all five peaks. It’s still probably
one of the most challenging runs
that I’ve ever done.”
Bell said he wasn’t into physically demanding challenges or
the even concept of fitness until
he joined the Marine Corps in
June 2000.
An Atlanta native, he played
basketball recreationally as a teen,
but upon arriving at Marine Corps
Recruit Depot Parris Island, he said
he recognized that he was not as fit
as he had hoped.
“I realized when I arrived at
basic training that I had to run
almost every other day, swim long
distances, go on hikes and do a lot
of pushups and pull-ups,” Bell said.
“That’s when the physical fitness
aspect of my life ramped up. I
needed to get in shape.”
Bell completed basic training
and went to his first military occupational specialty school to train
as a helicopter/tiltrotor dynamic
components mechanic. He said he
was not content with that job, but
wanted to stay in the same field
and do more hands-on work. After
four years, he became a helicopter
mechanic.
Around the same time, the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program
was introduced, and Bell said it
gave him an opportunity to challenge himself physically.
MCMAP combines existing
and new hand-to-hand and closequarters combat techniques with
morale- and team-building functions and instruction in the warrior
ethos.
“My physical fitness peaked
once MCMAP was introduced,”
Bell said. “That was when I began
to focus more on bettering myself,
and it became easier when I found
friends that had the same goals in
mind.”
However, in 2008 Bell deployed
to Iraq, where, he said, his training
took a backseat. He rarely got to the
gym, and, he said, when he came
back home he knew his fitness
level wasn’t sufficient. He said
he decided then to always make
his workouts a priority and be a
model Marine.
Eventually, Bell said, he stopped
associating fitness with his identity
as a Marine -- it just became a
lifestyle.
“Physical fitness is my hobby,”
he said. “It’s something I take great
enthusiasm in. It’s my equivalent
to how some people like to play
video games, or others who like going fishing or riding motorcycles,
but physical training is what I like
to do.”
Eventually, the fitness hobby
-- and, he said, a movie about a
bicycle messenger -- led Bell to
buy a fixed-gear bicycle, which
he started using to commute to and
from work.
Different states have different
regulations and restrictions when it
comes to pets. Some states require
quarantines for cats, dogs and
other carnivorous pets, and some
require you to have an up-to-date
certificate stating that your pet is
in good health. While you may
in all likelihood never be asked to
present it, it’s best to ask your vet
for a good health certificate if you
plan any interstate travel.
and easygoing, hitting the road
together is a fantastic way to break
up the day-to-day routine and embark on some fun adventures. It’s
also a great opportunity to spend
quality time together. However,
even if your pet isn’t the perfect
travel companion right now, it
doesn’t mean he never can be.
