San Diego-based USS Green Bay will join 7th Fleet in February 2015. She will replace USS Denver, which is the Navy’s oldest ship on active duty next to USS Constitution, serving since 1968. Green Bay is a member of the latest amphibious transport dock class and represents a significant improvement in capability for the fleet. She is equipped with an advanced command and control suite; increased lift capacity with substantial increases in vehicle and cargo carrying capability; and advanced ship survivability features. The ship supports the rapid transfer of personnel and equipment via the landing craft and MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, making this ship a critical element for ARGs and expeditionary strike groups. USS Peleliu (LHA 5), homeported in San Diego, will proceed to the 7th Fleet area of responsibility to mitigate the gap in amphibious presence until Green Bay’s arrival.

The ship’s mission will be to embark, transport, control, insert, sustain and extract elements of Marine air-ground task forces, and support forces by helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft. The first America-class ship is designed to support a variety of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft consisting of the MV-22B Osprey, F-35B Joint Strike Fighter, AV-8B Harrier II, CH-53D/E Sea Stallion helicopters, CH46D/E Sea Knight helicopters, AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters and U.S. Navy MH-60S/R helicopters. This multi-mission assortment of aircraft will bring new mission capabilities to the fleet. The realignment and expansion of the aviation maintenance facilities provides more room for aircraft parts and increased aviation fuel capacity. In addition, the ship’s enlarged hangar bay PCU America, due to be homeported in San Diego. Navy photo offers more room for aircraft, making the ship perfect for aviation-centric missions. “America was designed for 19 additional [aviation maintenance] spaces,” said Marine Gunnery Sgt. Jesse Ramirez. “I don’t believe the impact of the ship’s design will really be felt until the full-blown aviation combat element comes aboard and those maintainers look back and say, ‘It was so much easier to keep [more] aircraft up and functional vice other [amphibious ships] with the limited amount of maintenance spaces.’” Ramirez said that with the addition of these spaces on PCU America, the expectation will be to keep more aircraft serviceable, as well as implement faster turn-around times when performing maintenance. an opportunity for the Marine Corps to concentrate more on a wide-spectrum of amphibious operations. sel, the ship’s capabilities and design are specifically pointed at those two warfighting assets,” said Duhe. “It is important to the Marine Corps, as we downsize our force, that we focus on amphibious [capability],” said Duhe. “We need to ‘right-size’ our force and our equipment, so that we can tune into our role within the nation’s defense. It is influencing potential crisis from the sea, as an air-ground Navy-Marine team, that sets the Marines apart from other services. It is our primary identity.” America has wasted no time embarking and enabling Marines to familiarize themselves with what will soon be the Navy’s newest amphibious asset. On Feb. 5 and 6 tours were held for Marine Force Reserve (MARFORRES) located in New Orleans, La. Duhe also said this ship will be more capable in handling MV-22 Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter missions when compared to any other current ship in the fleet. “The Marine Corps operates the Osprey now. We are bringing in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter soon. For all the hard work that has gone into building this ves- For Marine Chief Warrant Officer 4 Shane Duhe, PCU America’s combat cargo officer, he sees PCU America as “Conducting tours now is important, especially for junior Marines because we are on the tail end of a ground-fighting war in [the Middle East], and for so many Marines, this is all they have known during their careers,” said Duhe. “The Commandant’s guidance is for everyone to revisit operations from the sea, of an expeditionary nature, so I’m happy to be a part of this.” The tours consisted of Ma see Amphib page 11 FRANK TOYOTA SERVICE SPECIALS X WAS 11995 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT $ 89 $ 95 2 • www.armedforcesdispatch.com • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2014 3UHFLVLRQFRPSXWHUL]HGZKHHODOLJQPHQW $GMXVWFDVWHUFDPEHUWRH,QVSHFWVXVSHQVLRQIRUZHDU &HQWHUVWHHULQJZKHHO,QVSHFWWLUHV 7R\RWDVRQO\0RVWPRGHOV0XVWSUHVHQWFRXSRQ&DQQRWEHFRPELQHGZLWKDQ\RWKHURIIHU RUGLVFRXQWDQGFDQQRWEHDSSOLHGWRZDUGSUHYLRXVSXUFKDVHV9DOLGRQO\DW)UDQN7R\RWD 2IIHUH[SLUHV BATTERY TRUE-2 SPECIAL 60 MONTH PRO-RATE WARRANTY X WAS 12995 $ 9995 $ +tax Z([FKDQJH ,167$//$7,21,1&/8'(' 7R\RWDVRQO\0RVWPRGHOV0XVWSUHVHQWFRXSRQ&DQQRWEHFRPELQHGZLWKDQ\RWKHURIIHU RUGLVFRXQWDQGFDQQRWEHDSSOLHGWRZDUGSUHYLRXVSXUFKDVHV([FOXGHV+\EULGV 9DOLGRQO\DW)UDQN7R\RWD2IIHUH[SLUHV FAST LANE OIL & FILTER CHANGE Military Special Only X 29 $ ,QVWDOO*HQXLQH7R\RWDRLOILOWHU WAS 5HSODFHHQJLQHRLOSHUIDFWRU\VSHFLILFDWLRQV $ 3495 7RSRIIXQGHUWKHKRRGIOXLGV FREE&KHFNVHWWLUHSUHVVXUHWRYHKLFOHVSHFLILFDWLRQV FREE 0XOWLSRLQWLQVSHFWLRQ Oil & Filter Change.

The U.S. position has not changed, he said. U.S. officials continue to encourage Karzai to sign the bilateral security agreement that he negotiated with the United States last year. A national council that Karzai convened overwhelmingly approved the agreement in November, and the vast majority of Afghans are said to favor its adoption.

Chairman promises vigorous military ethics campaign by Jim Garamone WASHINGTON - Recent lapses in military ethics have Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey’s full attention, and he promises a military campaign to reinvigorate the profession of arms. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made the pledge in statements he issued following Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s Feb. 7 news conference on the issue. “This challenge didn’t accumulate overnight, and it won’t be solved overnight,” said. Dempsey said the importance of understanding the challenge that ethical lapse pose to the military, adding that military officials must continue to “see the challenge clearly and precisely.” “Acts of crime, misconduct, ethical breaches, command climate and stupidity each require a distinct solution,” he said. “But the overall solution is attention to who we are as a profession. And that’s my focus.” The American people have high regard for their military, and in most cases, the chairman said, that high regard is welldeserved. “The overwhelming majority of our military leaders are tremendous professionals and citizens who show up to serve, to bring their best, and often sacrifice greatly,” he said. “There will always be those who let down the team and the nation, “The trust of the American people, and frankly, the trust our young troops place in us as leaders, is too important. We can’t afford to let the transgressions of the few undermine the trust and credibility of our entire profession.” and when they do, we will hold them accountable. “The trust of the American people, and frankly, the trust our young troops place in us as leaders, is too important,” he continued. “We can’t afford to let the transgressions of the few undermine the trust and credibility of our entire profession.” Dempsey began his campaign to highlight the profession of arms even before he became chairman. He began looking at the effects of prolonged war on the profession when he served as the commander of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command. This picked up speed when he served as the Army chief of staff, and expanded when he became chairman. During a recent interview, Dempsey said he views the campaign in military terms - a campaign in the military vocabulary implies a series of actions, all intended to converge on a desired outcome. “The desired outcome in this campaign is that the force rekindles its understanding and resolve as a profession and then recommits itself to that which makes us a profession: our unique skills and attributes, commitment to continuing education, and the agreement to live to a specific set of values,” he said. Still, the chairman said, it is not the war that caused these ethical lapses. “It is the pace, and our failure to understand that at that pace, we were neglecting the tools that manage us as a profession over time,” he said. Donald Cook departs for new permanent station in Rota NORFOLK - USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) departed her homeport of Norfolk, Va. Jan. 31 on her way to Rota, Spain, as the first of four Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers to be stationed there. “The U.S. has a historically strong partnership with Spain, and the strength of that relationship is exemplified today as the first of four U.S. Navy destroyers departs for Rota, Spain,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. “Permanently forward deploying four ships in Rota will enable us to be in the right place, not just at the right time, but all the time.” In 2012, Mabus announced the BMD-capable destroyers Donald Cook, USS Ross (DDG 71), and USS Porter (DDG 78) from Norfolk, and USS Carney (DDG 64) from Mayport, Fla. will be stationed in Rota. Donald Cook will arrive in mid-February. Commanders should keep sex assault courts-martial authority WASHINGTON - The independent Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel has accepted a subcommittee recommendation that senior military commanders retain authority for referring these crimes to courts-martial. DOD officials have long maintained that the authority is needed to maintain good order and discipline, and that commanders will be integral to ending sexual assault in the ranks. The Role of the Commander Subcommittee took an in-depth look at the issue before coming up with the recommendation. One member of the subcommittee - Elizabeth Hillman - dissented, but the full panel voted to accept the recommendations 7-2. USS Germantown CMC relief made permanent SASEBO, Japan - The Jan. 7 temporary relief of USS Germantown (LSD 42) command master chief (CMDCM) was made permanent by Commander, Pacific Fleet, Adm. Harry Harris, Jr., Feb. 11. The relief of CMDCM Jesus Galura stems from an investigation into allegations of sexual assault made by a Germantown crew member. Because an ongoing NCIS investigation continues to look at overall command climate as well as allegations of misconduct by Galura and potentially others, the Navy cannot provide details. After reviewing the completed command investigation, Harris determined Galura’s relief should be made permanent due to loss of confidence in his ability to effectively lead the Chiefs Mess and be a contributing member of the command triad. Command Master Chief Jeffrey Steinly, currently assigned to Commander, Pacific Fleet, has assumed duties as the Germantown command master chief. Reporting to Germantown as command master chief in August 2011, Galura has been reassigned to Amphibious Squadron 11. Forward deployed to Sasebo, Germantown is part of the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group.

Hickey, undersecretary of veterans affairs for benefits. “The new GI Bill Comparison Tool will help future beneficiaries as they make decisions about what education or training program best fits their needs.” The GI Bill Comparison Tool provides key information about college affordability and brings together information from more than 17 different online sources and three federal agencies, including the number of students receiving VA education benefits at each school. It is one item in a series of resources VA is launching in response to President Barack Obama’s Executive Order 13607, which directs agencies to implement and promote “Principles of Excellence” for education institutions that interact with veterans, service members and their families, and to ensure beneficiaries have the information they need to make educated choices about VA education benefits and approved programs, VA officials said. Recently, VA instituted a GI Bill online complaint system, designed to collect feedback from vets, service members and their families who are experiencing problems with educational institutions receiving funding from federal military and vets ‘National Salute to Veteran Patients’ by Hans Petersen VA honors the service of veterans every day. But this week, as Valentine’s Day approaches, VA is inviting every American to join them and make it special. educational benefits programs, including benefits programs provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the DoD’s military tuition assistance program. The executive order, signed April 27, 2012, directs federal agencies to provide meaningful cost and quality information on schools, prevent deceptive recruiting practices and provide high-quality academic and student support services. VA works closely with partner institutions to ensure the GI Bill beneficiaries’ needs are met, noting that more than 5,000 education institutions have agreed to the Principles of Excellence. This week is VA’s annual National Salute to Veteran Patients - a time to pay tribute to America’s heroes - the men and women they care for and serve. Men and women who have given more than most to protect and preserve all we hold dear as Americans. VA is opening the doors to communities so every citizen will have the chance to thank a veteran and learn more about volunteering at VA medical centers to build or practice their unique skills in support of the veterans who defended their homes and freedoms. The salute will feature free musical concerts, Valentines from Americans around the country, and special ceremonies for the nation’s veterans from appreciative citizens. The purpose of National Salute to Veteran Patients program is to pay tribute and express appreciation to veterans, increase community awareness of the role of the VA medical center, encourage citizens to visit hospitalized veterans, and to become involved as volunteers. The Post-9/11 GI Bill is a comprehensive education benefit created by Congress in 2008. In general, veterans and service members who have served on active duty for 90 or more days since Sept. 10, 2001, are eligible. Since 2009, VA has distributed more than $30 billion in the form of tuition and other educationrelated payments to more than 1 million veterans, service members and their families, as well as to the universities, colleges and trade schools they attend. House passes in-state tuition for vets The House of Representatives last week passed (390-0) the FRA-supported “G.I. Bill Tuition Fairness Act.” The bill will enable G.I. Bill recipients to receive in-state tuition rates at any public college or university in the country, not just those in a veteran’s state of residence. The bill also contains a number of other provisions designed to enhance veterans’ benefits and bring more accountability and efficiency to the Department of VA, including: a five year ban on performance bonuses for VA Senior Executive Service employees; an extension of Veterans Retraining and Assistance Program job training benefits through May 31 - the program is currently set to expire March 31; stronger infectious disease reporting requirements for VA hospitals; a requirement for VA health officials to obtain the consent of patients before electronically monitoring them in private patient areas; and more comprehensive reporting requirements for VA employees traveling abroad.

Fox said here today. Fox, testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, said DOD must get a handle on pay and benefits or risk sending service members into harm’s way unprepared. The deputy thanked the senators for supporting the Bipartisan Budget Act, which she said mitigates the worst of the problems DOD faces under the Budget Control Act of 2011. Still, she added, it only goes through the next two years, and this is a long-term problem. tration is allowed to persist, our analysis shows that it will lead to a force that is too small, inadequately equipped and insufficiently trained to fully defend the nation’s interests.” “If this department is going to maintain a future force that is properly sized, modern and ready, we clearly cannot maintain the last decade’s rate of military compensation growth,” Fox said. Given this budgetary background, DOD civilian and military leaders have said time and again that the one-third of the defense budget consumed by military compensation cannot be exempt as an area of defense savings. “We must find ways to slow the rate of growth,” Fox told the committee. Military service is about more than just a paycheck. The jobs and service military personnel perform are as important. Inflation-adjusted pay and benefit costs are 40 percent higher than in 2001, even though the active force today is just slightly larger. Defense health care costs alone have grown from less than $20 billion in 2001 to nearly $50 billion in 2013. Payments for housing costs also have increased faster than inflation. “Beyond those two years, the BCA remains the law of the land,” she said. “If seques- Maintenance Specialist Western Towing needs a self-motivated, detail-oriented individual for a full-time Maintenance Specialist position.

We are currently reviewing all military pays Fox spoke directly to the “COLA-minus-one” or “CPIminus-one” provision included as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act. The provision required capping cost-of-living raises in retirement pay for working-age military retirees at 1 percent below inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. “To my knowledge, no DOD officials were consulted on the details of the BBA, including 1-619-234-3333 Free info by phone www.goldenstatelawgroup.com *David Weil, Supervising Attorney. No money down to begin most misdemeanor cases and Bankruptcy cases if requested in San Diego County. Filing and Legal fees need to to be paid before filing. The department does support a comprehensive review of this provision, the acting deputy defense secretary said, including its effect on retirees not currently exempted. “If the Congress decides to retain the CPI-minus-one approach, we strongly recommend it be modified to include ‘grandfathering,’” she said. Fox called on Congress to refrain from changing military retirement until the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission presents its final report in February 2015. “There are many ways we might change military retirement, including more fundamental reforms,” she said. “Because the CPI-minusone provision does not go into effect until December 2015, there is ample time for such a careful review, including waiting for the commission to provide its input.” sticks with 20-something generation by Dr. Daneen Skube Q. I’m a manager in my 50s with a lot of employees in their 20s. I’m getting to the point where I don’t want to hire a younger employee because they don’t seem to listen, they want rewards without earning them, don’t seem to see what needs to get done, and quit after five minutes. How do I supervise this generation without biting them? A. If you are a baby boomer, you can supervise the 20-something crowd by realizing that what motivates them is entirely different from what motivates you.

They were raised with high discipline and low emotional validation. Their parents often used shame, spankings, and very clear rules to keep them in line. Managers will often “raise” their employees in the same way their parents raised them. Now, obviously, nobody is going to literally spank you in the workplace, but there are many ways to use anxiety, shame and fear of the manager to attempt to keep employees in line. The 20-something crowd, conversely, was generally raised with high emotional validation and often nearly no discipline. Baby boomer parents likely thought that doing the opposite of what their parents did to them was a better way to parent. The strength of baby boomers is that they will work like dogs with very little emotional reward and strive for excellence. The strength of 20-year-olds is that they strive to make work a path for personal growth, enrichment and meaning. As a baby boomer manager you simply cannot use shame, fear of failure, or demands to inspire younger workers. You will need to look at the work you are asking them to do through a new set of glasses. Ask yourself the following questions: 1. What is the future of the job they are doing? Yes, they might be answering phones today but does it give them great interpersonal skills, contacts and organizational skills? How can this be useful to them? 2. What kind of fun activities will they have access to? Do you have birthday parties and summer picnics? Do you give employees exposure to interesting events? 3. If they stay long term in your job, what benefits will they receive in three months, six months, or a year? The benefits they care about are appreciation, fun, and growth opportunities. 4. Do you assume that the prime motivation for your younger employee is money? Yes, the salary needs to be competitive, but this generation doesn’t believe in delayed gratification. Even if you are competitive, can you clearly articulate what makes your job or internship cool and groovy (for you former hippies)? All my baby boomer executive clients agree with you that they want to bite their younger employees who can’t seem to just show up, work hard, suffer, and stick with a job because it is the “right” thing to do. Then again, younger employees can teach us baby boomers that life is short, the richness of work should go beyond a paycheck, and the journey of life is sweeter when we include fun. Your 20-year-old employees believe that all work and no play means their resume goes back into circulation. Twenty-yearolds are capable of doing the same fine job you get easily from your baby boomer employees you just need to use more carrot and very little stick! The last word(s) Q. I am a short, quiet, minority female and I am often underestimated at work. I also find this sometimes gives me a competitive advantage because people can’t predict what I am capable of doing. Can being underestimated be helpful? A. Absolutely! When people expect a single match of talent and end up with a sky full of fireworks, you have the opportunity to over-deliver and impress. Education opportunities soar at sea CSS voting assistance team encourages Sailors to register to vote “The tutoring program is a volunteer program aboard Boxer set up to help our shipmates that are taking college courses,” said Chief Navy Career Counselor Jane Epaloose, one of the tutors aboard. “I jumped at the opportunity to create a tutoring program aboard Boxer because to me, there is no better way to use my time,” said Lt. j.g. Chelsea Irish, program coordinator, who started the program to help Sailors and provide an opportunity for assistance. The program has no schedule restrictions and is set up so each Sailor can receive as much help as needed to ensure success. And tutors are available to offer help in a wide variety of subjects. “We have 25 tutors available aboard Boxer, that have bachelor’s degrees or higher, for subjects such as math, science, history and social sciences,” said Epaloose. “Tutoring is available around the schedule of the tutor and the student, as long as both members have the time,” said Epaloose. A student that worked with Epaloose enjoyed the extra help needed for her classes. “I was really struggling with my English and with the stress of work it really helped to go to her and have the help,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Joni Bills. Bills initiated the idea of a tutoring program by making a suggestion in the commanding officers suggestion box. “I was struggling, and I was going to people asking questions. I thought if only we had a program that streamlined people that want to help to the students it would help me and others in the same situation,” said Bills. Bills feels appreciative of having her tutoring idea turn into a realization. “It takes the stress off. When one is struggling, rather than panic about it you know where to turn to and what to do, and it feels good knowing that there may be other people in my situation who will have a place to turn to for the help,” she said. At sea, students have limited resources and don’t get the same opportunities that traditional college students get. “I think a tutoring program is important because most of our degree programs in the Navy are online, and sometimes the student might need a little hands on instruction to help them understand the subject matter more clearly,” said Epaloose. Irish says Sailors are motivated to get the help they need through tutors standing by to assist them in reaching their goals. “In today’s world a college education is essential. It opens the door to a multitude of opportunities. Knowing that my shipmates have a place to turn for help with their studies is rewarding for me,” Irish said. Earning an associate’s degree earns a Sailor two points on the Navy Advancement Exam, and a bachelor’s degree earns a Sailor four. “Every Sailor should take the maximum benefits they can while serving their country. The only barrier to achieving your dreams is you,” said Epaloose.

We must not overlook our rights. Not using your rights can lead to an ineffective leader being elected into office, which will impact everyone.” “CSS encourages everyone who does not reside within their home voting precincts to complete and return an absentee ballot to their legal residence for the upcoming elections,” said Chief Culinary Specialist (SS) Fred Butts, CSS voting assistance officer (VAO). “It’s simple to register, but I highly recommend that potential voters register early and contact their states to verify that their ballots were received, once received, they (the states) will mail it back with a tracking number.” According to the Federal Voting Assistance Program website, voting assistance officers around the world aim for 100 percent contact and availability of Federal Post Card applications (to all personnel and dependents. The organization emphasizes the importance of early action on the part of the voter in order to obtain a ballot for the general election well in advance of State deadlines for registration and ballot request. Butts said the registration process to vote absentee is the same for every Sailor, Marine, Soldier and Airman, whether they are stationed in the continental U.S. or overseas and can be accomplished in person at a voting assistance office or online at www.fvap.gov with a completed Federal Post Card application. “The registration process was very quick and easy for me,” said Chief Personnel Specialist (SW/AW) Roger Drumheller, CSS personnel specialist (PS) training manager. “I completed Enjoy Enjoy the by MC3 Mayra A.

It was completed online without any problems. It is everyone’s responsibly as an American to vote. Sometimes we take our right to vote for granted while so many people in different countries are denied this simple, basic right. I encourage everyone to register.” The voting process is not limited to those from the 50 U.S. states, but also includes residents of U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. Sailors who desire to vote in a federal primary or special election in March, April or May 2014, are encouraged to visit FVAP.gov for information on state deadlines and requirements. CSS and its seven learning sites provide Sailors with the knowledge and skills required to support the fleet’s warfighting mission. Each year, the nearly 250 staff and faculty members of CSS deliver training to more than 10,000 personnel serving in the Navy’s administration, logistics and media communities.

Keenan Zelazoski “I remember we would come by an Iraqi police checkpoint, and half an hour later, on our way back, [the Iraqi police] would all be dead,” said Gunnery Sgt. Pedro Aquino. During his 2004 tour to Iraq, Aquino fought alongside his cousin, a soldier in the El Salvadorian Army, in the battle of An Najaf. El Salvador deployed 10 battalion-sized contingents in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom starting in 2003. The memory of his deployment to Iraq nearly a decade ago is engrained in his mind forever. As a young boy, Aquino, now the operations chief with Headquarters Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st Marine Logistics Group, never thought he would be serving the country that took him and his family in during their time of need. “I could not believe I was fighting next to my cousin. You hear about brothers and stuff sometimes, and this was kind of like that,” commented Aquino, who also mentioned it was truly a pleasure to serve with his family. “In the 80s, El Salvador was in a deep civil war,” said Aquino. “My cousins, at 10 years old, were either taken by the rebels or fighting for the army. Those were the two choices.” As the war progressed, Aquino’s mother became increasingly afraid as her son neared the age, nine, that he would be required to join the army. His father, a college student at the time, had already been forced to flee the country. The rebels did not want the people of El Salvador to be educated, and were murdering professors and students alike. Having had enough of the worry, Aquino’s mother fled the country with him and his younger brother. Aquino was only eight-years old at the time. “I came into the country illegally,” said Aquino. “My father was pleading for asylum and eventually got it. That is how I got my residency here.” “They always looked really sharp,” said Aquino. “I also heard they get all the girls, so I joined.” “I remember being in the hospital, and a representative from Wounded Warrior Battalion talked to me,” said Aquino, who was reluctant to bring attention to his symptoms for fear of ending his career. “I was pretty shocked. I used to think they only talked to people with missing limbs, but it turned out that wasn’t the case.” Rendered unable to carry out his duties efficiently, Aquino joined the Wounded Warrior Battalion where he entered a phase of recovery. “I was a mess,” said Aquino. “I needed the help, but what I really wanted was to get better so I could go back to full duty status and retire after 20 [years Magic Mel Throughout his time in the Corps, Aquino has served in five combat deployments, including Operation Enduring Freedom, and two humanitarian missions. body & mind! 20% OFF :LWKWKLVDG Aquino makes pens with the wood-turning skills he learned and says that taking photos helps him feel peace and helps him to sleep better. With the help he received at the Wounded Warrior Batallion, Aquino has reintegrated to an operational unit. “It is commendable that he was able to make it back to the fleet,” said Gunnery Sgt. Joanna Mendoza, company gunnery sergeant, Headquarters Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st Marine Logistics Group, adding that in the face of challenges, he still inspires and motivates Marines with his invincible spirit. Even with the challenges he still faces, Aquino wakes up and puts his uniform on every morning to serve the country he has grown to love. About a year from now, Aquino’s dream of retiring after providing 20 years of service will become a reality. The draft is designed to involve private industry early in the government’s requirements for the Healthcare Management Systems Modernization project, Navy Capt. John H. Windom said. The program seeks to modernize the DOD electronic health record while also working to make it interoperable with Department of Veterans Affairs and private provider electronic medical records. On the DOD side, the job is to replace the various legacy systems with one that supports interoperability with VA’s follow-on system and improves the quality of care. Medical records would seamlessly move between the organizations and with private medical practitioners, Windom explained. The draft RFP provides private industry with an early introduction to the ongoing requirements-development efforts, he said, giving private industry experts a chance to offer comments or pose questions. “This process will help SELF STORAGE www.STORAGEWEST.com 877-917-7990 10% MILITARY DISCOUNT Ç&XWVÇ&RORUV Ç2PEUH+LJKOLWHV Ç%UD]LOLDQ5HOD[HU FREE HAIRCUT 858.277.7021 ZZZ0DJLF0HO+DLU&UHDWLRQVFRP We have the best girls! 40 Value.

Many of the legacy systems were not designed to work together, and they weren’t designed with the same standards and technology. The new system will leverage off-the-shelf technologies and industry standards as supported by the Office of the National Coordinator, Windom said. The office coordinates nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information. The iterative releasing of the draft RFP is necessary for the program, the captain said. $ $ “There is nothing better than open and frequent communication with industry,” he added. “We don’t want to set a requirement that is technologically unachievable by industry or [that] we can’t afford.” The frequent and open dialogue -- the office could possibly release up to two more draft RFPs -- exposes private industry to the DOD requirements development process, Windom said. “As such, we get to take on board their thoughts, their comments on the products that we’re presenting at the various stages,” he added. The new system will likely be deployed first to the Pacific Northwest, the captain said. The system deployment is scheduled to begin by the end of 2016. 25 OFF 1-Hour Oriental Massage 50 1/2-Hour Oriental Massage Includes your choice of hot tub, jacuzzi or table shower Featuring: Deep Tissue & Swedish Massage Royal Spa (619) 229-0509 Open 7 days - 9am - 10pm ATM ON SITE Parmela Sawhney, MD.

It was ultimately the Marine Corps that gained his attention, and he joined immediately following his final year of high school. Aquino also served with then Brig. Gen. Dennis Hejlik’s personal security detachment. Hejlik was the commanding general of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force at the time. It was during this time that Aquino had the haunting image of the Iraqi police engrained into his memory. When he returned from his last deployment, he was diagnosed with a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Month continued from page 8 “Making healthy choices such as good nutrition, weight management and exercise can significantly decrease the probability of heart disease,” said Chamberlain. Chamberlain went on to say that non-active children are also at risk for heart disease. “Research has proven that children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day to reduce the risk of developing heart disease.” In addition to American Heart Month, National Wear Red Day - a day to raise awareness for the fight against heart disease in women was recognized Feb. 7. National Wear Red Day was began in 2003, when the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute took action against heart disease, a disease that kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. As a result of their efforts, 21 percent fewer women are dying from heart disease and 23 percent more women are aware that this disease is the single most health threat to women.

The three-day event, cosponsored by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) and the Naval Institute, facilitates forum and panel discussions between leaders in the armed forces and government contractors. Adm. Harry Harris, commander, Pacific Fleet, introduced the maritime strategy theme during his keynote address. “Forward presence matters,” said Harris. “Enemies are trying to close the technology gap on us, while we provide a significant amount of peace and stability via the seas.” Sailors attending the first day of the conference found Harris’ address relevant to what they have been hearing in the fleet. “I keep seeing China in the news,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 2nd Class Annika Roberts. “I think it’s awesome that they will be participating in RIMPAC this year. It’s also a great feeling to know that I have a hand in world events with the shift of naval forces to the Pacific.” “The re-balance is real,” said Harris. “The newest platforms that the Navy has are going to the Pacific. That’s the E-18 Growler, the Zumwaltclass destroyers and the littoral combat ships.” Enter our contest on this page. PACIFIC OCEAN - The amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) continued conducting sea qualifications, Feb. 3-7 in preparation for the ship’s upcoming scheduled deployment. During the five-day underway period, Makin Island crew members completed Damage Control (DC) drills, weapons certifications, day and night flight operations, and Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS). USS Makin Island maneuvers under the Coronado Bay Bridge while heading out into the Pacific Ocean for a scheduled underway. Navy photo by MC2 Lawrence Davis “We train the crew as a cohesive unit to be prepared for any threat that may arise,” said Ensign Liam Kearney, Operations division officer. “We did many damage control training evolutions from fires to flooding so that our personnel in repair lockers are ready.” Damage Control training is an all hands effort and getting new Sailors engaged in drills helps prepare the ship for mission readiness. “We worked with the DC Training Team and the Engineering Training Team to run many drills and I learned a lot,” said DCFN Josie McCullough. “Training is essential because all crewmembers need to know what to do in case a real situation occurs.” Weapons certifications were achieved by Makin Island Sailors out to sea on 50-caliber crew serve weapons and close in weapons system (CIWS). “During this underway we certified and qualified 24 small craft action team (SCAT) members,” said Gunners Mate 2nd Class Jessica Alcantar. “This prepares our team for real life scenarios as we prepare to transit into unknown waters.” Flight operations are also an essential part of Makin Island’s mission. The joint services of Sailors and Marines working together safely and effectively continues to hone the skills of both the aircrew and flight deck personnel. “We had AV-8B Harriers and [Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron Two Three] helicopters taking off and landing,” said Aviation Boatswains Mate Handling 1st Class David Dysart, the flight eck leading petty officer. “The training has been exceptional and everyone from the pilots to personnel on the flight deck are working together as a team to meet the mission.” Deck department Sailors took part in evolutions that they wouldn’t be able to conduct in port such as anchor operations and small boat operations. “This underway helped qualify our Sailors in our rate,” said BM3 Nicholas Manantan. “We now have more personnel qualified to stand bridge watches and help support necessary evolutions.” Makin Island is the first U.S. Navy ship to deploy using a hybrid-electric propulsion system. By using this unique propulsion system, the Navy expects over the course of the ship’s lifecycle, to see fuel savings of more than $250 million, proving the Navy’s commitment to energy awareness and conservation. - by MC3 Ethan Tracey Navy to replace forward deployed mine countermeasures ships in Japan PEARL HARBOR - The Navy announced Feb. 5 that newer, more capable mine countermeasure ships will forward deploy to Commander, Fleet Activities Sasebo, Japan, to become part of the Navy’s Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF). Avenger-class mine countermeasure ships USS Pioneer (MCM 9) and USS Chief (MCM 14) will report to the 7th Fleet as part of the FDNF in Sasebo in May 2014. They will respectively replace mine countermeasure ships USS Avenger (MCM 1) and USS Defender (MCM 2), which have both faithfully served in the FDNF since 2009. Pioneer and Chief collectively represent a significant improvement in capability for the FDNF. Avenger and Defender will both prepare for decommissioning and eventually be heavy-lifted back to their homeport of San Diego in June 2014. Pioneer and Chief are expected to arrive in Sasebo in the May 2014 timeframe. Avenger is the first of the Navy’s Avenger-class mine countermeasures ships. Amphib continued from page 2 rines from diverse backgrounds and ranks, from Colonel to Lance Corporal. “These tours are important for all Marines,” said Marine food service Staff Sgt. Jarvis Dixion assigned to MARFORRES. “For the junior Marines, I think it’s important for them to actually see the ship and to get a feel for its capabilities and day-to-day life. For senior personnel, it’s an opportunity to plan for future operations and prepare their [subordinates].” Col. Ricky S. Brown, assistant chief of staff MARFORRES, discussed his appreciation for PCU America’s innovative steps toward Navy and Marine Corps integration. “Mommy, we won!” “As we build all these new platforms for the next generation, it’s going to be these young Marines that need to understand the flexibility, capability and how to employ [a variety of amphibious missionsets],” said Brown. “Visiting a ship, like PCU America, allows Marines to experience how the Navy and Marine Corps effectively works together for one cohesive mission.” ‘Invincible Spirit Festival,’ Lt. Dan Band coming to Navy medical center SAN DIEGO - The Gary Sinise Foundation will host its signature “Invincible Spirit Festival” at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) on Feb. 15 in appreciation of the NMCSD staff, wounded, ill, and injured service members, and families.

Dan Band concert, an authentic BBQ cookout provided by celebrity Chef Robert Irvine and Sysco, including bounce houses for children, a rock climbing wall, face painting, and fun giveaways. The Gary Sinise Foundation serves our nation by supporting and honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen and build communities.

Sgt. Cynthia Zermeno, training NCO with 1st Medical Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, recently participated in an unmanned aerial vehicle course. The purpose of this training is to familiarize Marines and sailors with the knowledge and equipment necessary to operate UAVs, which are remotely controlled and are used for general surveillance and reconnaissance. “Not many people know about these courses,” said Zermeno. “As the training NCO, I want to find out what types of courses are available for my Marines and how each course can benefit them, and this one would be useful for everyone.” “A lot of people in a logistics unit might not see the benefits of these skills,” said Bill Peek, the senior instructor for the Remote Audio Visual Engagement Network course. “The capabilities of a UAV are limited only to battery life and your imagination.” With a UAV, Marines and Sailors conducting convoy operations can silently observe potential hazards up to a few miles away on their planned route prior to leaving friendly lines. During the course, students also train to conduct covert operations and silent surveillance. “Battle damage assessment is important as well,” said Peek. Sgt. Cynthia Zermeno, left, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathalia Londono land an unmanned aerial vehicle during a UAV course at Camp Pendleton. photo by Lance Cpl.

USS San Diego welcomes wew CO PACIFIC OCEAN - USS San Diego (LPD 22) held a change of command ceremony at sea Feb. 7. Capt. John Menoni relieved Capt. William Grotewold as commanding officer. Grotewold, San Diego’s third commanding officer, assumed command May 25, 2012, one week after the ship’s commissioning ceremony. Under Grotewold’s command, San Diego reached many milestones. Some, like Final Contract Trials, are unique to a newly commissioned ship. Others, such as basic phase certifications for deployment, are standard around the fleet. Guest speaker Rear Adm. Fernandez “Frank” Ponds, commander, Expeditionary Strike Group 3, praised San Diego’s achievements under Grotewold’s command. “San Diego has exceeded all CNO benchmarks and goals. This is probably the best LPD 17 class ship out of this class,” said Ponds. “It’s been a privilege and an honor to have you within Expeditionary Strike Group Three.” Grotewold addressed the ship’s crew for the last time prior to reading his transfer orders. “It was my privilege to command America’s finest ship in America’s finest city,” said Grotewold. Grotewold received his commission in 1990 after his graduation from Vanderbilt. He has had numerous sea and shore assignments, including command of USS Cormorant(MHC 57) and USS Rushmore (LSD 47). Menoni arrived in November 2012 to serve as the executive officer of San Diego. He received his commission in 1991 after graduating from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Menoni attended naval flight training and qualified as a pilot in 1993 in both the Seaknight and Kinghthawk. His prior assignments include command of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25.

Bark in Balboa Park 8 is free and open to the public. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Tracy Martinez, the 1st Marine Division band conductor, stood in front of the band at the 73rd anniversary concert at Escondido, Calif., Jan. 31. He led the band through each song, ensuring that the sound flowed with swift precision. Beloved pets on leash are invited to enjoy an afternoon of classics, marches and animal themed organ music on the historic Spreckels Organ followed by a lively ‘pet and people’ parade across the Spreckels Organ Pavilion stage. Martinez, a native of Newbury Park, Calif., is responsible for much more than turning the spirit of the Marine Corps into music. He is a professional warrior first, always prepared to answer the call of his nation. Representatives of the San Diego Humane Society will be on hand with pets to view and adoption information as well as a pet boutique. All donations collected during the concert will benefit the San Diego Humane Society. “The Spreckels Organ Pavilion is one of the few public venues in San Diego where music lovers can attend a concert right alongside their beloved pets,“ points out Williams. “What better way to celebrate the special bond between humans and animals and to support the mission of the San Diego Humane Society than by enjoying a concert together?” Eighth Annual Free Spreckels Organ Concert benefits the San Diego Humane Society Sunday, Feb. 16, 2 p.m. largest outdoor organ and is sponsored by the City of San Diego, The Department of Parks and Recreation and the non-profit Spreckels Organ Society. iSquadRepair Carol Williams and the Spreckels Organ Society produce Bark In Balboa Park as an annual community service event in support of the San Diego Humane Society. iPhone iPad CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM Samsung 1500 Off Any Repair $ with Military ID 6780 Miramar Rd. #106, San Diego, CA 92121 858-240-2040 www.iSquadRepair.com WEST COAST AUTO GLASS Free Mobile Service all of San Diego County 2013 Dodge Dart Aero Turbo 6%1)\TVIWW\ 4YVGLEWIJSVSRP] TIVQS +tax $ (S[R 4E]QIRX $ 1764 &SF&EOIV(MWGSYRX 7IPPMRK4VMGI *EGXSV]6IFEXI 1MPMXEV]6IFEXI WTIIH%YXSQEXMG'(148MPX'VYMWI 299 299 EXXLMWTVMGIDD319242, DD314700, DD314698, DD314696 On approved above average credit.

Jonathan Boynes Liz Smith: ‘The Marilyn Diaries’ - in her own words, sort of by Liz Smith “TODAY I am thirty-six. I’ve officially reached the age that Hollywood considers a has-been. All I know how to be is Marilyn Monroe. It’s the only thing I’ve ever really been successful at. Time is making it impossible to continue. And I don’t know who I will be anymore.” it might have read like Casillo’s fiction. (The real-life Monroe was once asked in an interview if she kept a diary? She said: “Not really. Sometimes I would write things down, but then ... I’d tear them up!”) “THE Marilyn Diaries” really hits pay dirt when Casillo’s “Marilyn” considers the trajectory of her career, ruminates bitterly on her marriage to Arthur Miller and pragmatically recalls her long struggle to the top. There are some entertainingly fanciful episodes - a ladies’ room brawl with Elizabeth Taylor, a clandestine luncheon with Jackie Kennedy - but the essential honesty and vulnerability of our heroine is never lost, just as she never lost those qualities in her real life. THAT is not a quote from the late but eternally lively Miss Monroe. Those are words written by author/filmmaker/actor Charles Casillo in his classic novel, “The Marilyn Diaries,” first published in 1999, now out in a new edition, from Hayworth Press. Casillo, who also wrote an acclaimed biography about “City of Night” author John Rechy, published the first edition of “The Marilyn Diaries” before there was such a glut of “novels based on” Marilyn Monroe. And though it is fiction, this book sticks close to the facts of her last months (and the never proven rumors of Kennedy affairs). More interesting, it sounds like Monroe. If she had kept a diary, CASILLO’S introduction to “The Marilyn Diaries” explains his own fascination with the star, and deftly examines the duality of her nature and the atomic impact of her fame during her own lifetime. Nobody knew what to make of her, really.

And we are still trying to figure her out, 50 years after her death. As Charles Casillo writes: “Marilyn left just enough behind to allow anyone to create her into what they want her to be. I don’t think she would want it any other way.” MARC Rosen, the clever product designer wed to the glamorous MGM era Arlene Dahl, is complaining that the National Enquirer has Liza Minnelli in a wheelchair on her last legs. But Marc and Arlene had dinner with Liza right before this disaster article appeared. “She is not sick, in a wheelchair or drugged out” insists Mr. Rosen. So there! P.S. In fact, Liza Minnelli will appear at the L.A.

As the years went by the game play got better and increasingly more realistic, as video game technology improved. In March “Need for Speed” will come to life on the big screen. As you will see in the official preview trailer at the film’s web site (http://www. theneedforspeedmovie.com), the “Need for Speed” is about a cross-country, high-speed, adrenaline-pumping, non-stop, thrills and spills car chase. The human hero of the film is a “muscle car mechanic and street racer” named Tobey Marshall (played by Aaron Paul), who gets out of prison looking to “settle the score with the man responsible for his false conviction.” To get that done, he and his buddies race-prepare the four-wheeled star of the film: a Mustang, for what will become a wild ride across the United States as he is chased by the police and by drivers of exotic supercars who are hoping to cash in on a six million dollar reward from the bad guy. Perhaps not coincidentally, 2014 is also the year that will see the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Ford’s iconic Mustang. I’ll be heading to Las Vegas in April in my own Ford Mustang for one of the two gigantic national celebrations of that event. There is a scene in the movie’s trailer where a character, who appears to be a radio DJ and goes by the name of Monarch (played by Michael Keaton), speculates about whether that wicked-fast “Chariot of the Gods” Mustang is being driven by Tobey. That scene reminded me of a similar scene in another action-packed car movie called “Vanishing Point” (the original 1971 version), where a hero by the name of Kowalski (played by Barry Newman) raced along the highway, under very differ- ent circumstances, in a white, 1970 Dodge Challenger. You really should check out that movie too. Next up is a review of the new movie “RoboCop,” starring Joel Kinnaman in the title role. Michael Keaton plays a greedy bad guy. If you’ve seen and enjoyed (as I did) the original “RoboCop” movie from 1987, you already know pretty much what the storyline is, but almost 30 years of dramatic improvements in movie special effects have had a huge positive impact on this version of “RoboCop.” This is a fun, action-packed, shoot-‘em-up movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously, although it might make people think about the consequences of enhancing police officers’ and soldiers’ capabilities with robotic technologies. At what point might these people lose enough of their humanity to turn into compassionless, robotic killing machines? Do the ends of sharply reducing crime, or defeating wartime enemies and terrorists, justify the means? As “RoboCop” dramatically illustrates, robots have the potential to be highly effective killing machines, but governments have the power and responsibility to SHOES BY: BETTIE PAGE SHOES BY ELLIE WWW.ELLIESHOES.COM •PHOTOGRAPHY BY: SH PHOTOGRAPHY WWW.SHPHOTOLAB.COM in Fontana.
