Service mem-bers and their families

shared a hearty scare attwo events: the annual haunt-

ed ship and haunted house onJoint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam(JBPHH) a few days beforeHalloween.The haunted ship, hosted by Center

for Security Forces (CENSECFOR)Learning Site PearlHarbor, was held athangar 54 on FordIsland. The hauntedhouse, located at theold uniform shop onJBPHH, was hostedby the HawaiiSeabee community.“What we do is we

have our staff, theirfamilies and oursupport contractorscome out and havefun and provide something that’s free forlocal military and their families,” saidGunner’s Mate 1st Class ChrisSchlichtholz, the coordinator of the haunt-ed ship.The experience also provided family

members who are curious about hangar 54a chance to look inside at where CENSEC-FOR does their training. The interiorreplicated the spaces and passagewaysthat are common aboard a U.S. Navy ship.“It allows people who have never been

in hangar 54, where we do our training, tocome and take a look,” said Senior ChiefAviation Ordnanceman Adam Bartness,the senior enlisted advisor for CENSEC-FOR. “It gives them a chance to see someof our operating areas that we have here.Our military and our contracted staff comein and they set up the haunted ship, andit’s a great event for us.”At the haunted house, the Seabees and

JBPHH Junior Petty Officer Associationconstructed a darkened maze filled withcobwebs and other creepy crawlies insidethe old uniform shop. Haunted housevolunteers escorted families and friendsthrough strobe-lit hallways,passing through different scary rooms.Jill Legnosky, in a Facebook entry, said

she enjoyed herexperience at thehaunted house and pre-ferred it more than the otheroff-base haunted houses. Shesaid it was better planned.At the beginning of the haunted

ship, guests were given a choice ofeither a green or a red chemical light.The choice of lights determined the type

of experiencethe guest had.“The green

light allows thep e r s o n n e linside to tone itdown a bit, andthe red level isan indicationthat they canbang ands c r e a m , ”Bartness said.“There’s no

touching, but there’s a bit more energywith the red than with the green.”One attendee, Musician 2nd Class

Adam Giannelli, expressed his opinionafter going through the haunted shipwith the green light.“It’s very scary,” Giannelli said. “There

are lots of guys in scary costumes jump-ing out at you. It was very good, the pro-duction was excellent – they did a greatjob.”Giannelli’s wife, Sharon, expressed her

feelings about the event and about theirson, Lucas, going through the hauntedship.“The ship was done very well,” Sharon

said. “And the actors also, when theyrealized [my son] was very scared, theybacked off, which was very good.”At the end of the haunted ship, volun-

teers handed out candy.Bartness spoke about the event’s atten-

dance and the success of this year’shaunted ship.“It’s great for the service members to

come out here and get an old fashionedhaunting,” Bartness said. “It’s just a mat-ter of getting people over here and givingthem and their families a good timebefore Halloween.”

Assistant Editor

Airmen and Sailorsand their families fromJoint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam joined thousandsof other community mem-bers in a “Making StridesAgainst Breast Cancer”run/walk fromRichardson Field to FordIsland and back Oct. 29.

The non-competitiveevent, sponsored by theAmerican CancerSociety, raised nearly$200,000. More than8,000 community mem-bers participated in thewalk across the FordIsland Bridge to honorand celebrate breast can-cer survivors, educatepeople about the disease,and raise funds andawareness.

The event and the dol-lars raised from it sup-port the society’s effortsto find cures and supportprograms and services forthose facing the disease.

The “Fighting withGrace” team, honoring acolleague recently diag-nosed with breast cancer,consisted of about 50members, said teammember Navy AviationStructural MechanicEquipment 1st CaloriMullins. Their teamraised more than $4,000,the third highest total inthe state, Mullins said.

An 18-member teamfrom the Hickam Officers’Spouses Club also walkedin the Making Stridesevent. Jayme Toerner,Club member, said,“We’re looking to getinvolved in the communi-ty for a good cause, andwhat better way thanfighting breast cancer?”

Capt. Dan Barron ofthe 8th IntelligenceSquadron at Joint BasePearl Harbor-Hickam

volunteered for the eventas a route marshal. Hesaid, “Our goal is sup-porting breast cancerawareness and getting ateam out here.” The role

of the route marshalswas to monitor trafficflow and pedestrian safe-ty for the thousands ofwalkers and runners.

Pink is the official

color of Breast CancerAwareness Monthefforts. Keeping withthat spirit, volunteerroute marshals Airman1st Class Christopher

Stone and Airman 1stClass Matt Roman of the8th IS wore bright pinkshirts emblazoned withthe words “Air Force.”

“It’s a great cause,”

Roman declared. “A lot ofpeople are plagued bythis horrible disease. Ifthere’s anything we cando about it, we will help,”Stone said.

Navy Sailors Yeoman1st Class LorenaWilliams and CryptologicTechnician (Interpretive)1st Class MichelleTorres, both of NavyInformation OperationsCommand, also volun-teered as route marshals.“My sister died of cancer.Even though it was notbreast cancer, any kind isbad, and we’re supportingthe event,” Williams said.

Torres said some of herfriends and family mem-bers have either diedfrom cancer or are sur-vivors of the disease.“The least I could do iscome out here and sup-port this,” she said.

Meanwhile, Liz Eck,general manager of theNavy Lodge on FordIsland, and members ofher staff handed out bot-tles of cold water, pensand note pads to thewalkers and runners dur-ing the route. “It’s easyto just hand out a bottleto them to take on theirway,” Eck explained.

Air Force Staff Sgt.Travis Miller of the324th IntelligenceSquadron and membersof his family also servedas route marshals. Inaddition, they passed outwater to participants.Miller explained that hismother is a 25-year can-cer survivor. “I’ve alsogot three girls and a wife.I know it’s not just afemale disease, but wecame out to do anythingwe can,” he said.

A safety on a bad snap by the17th Operational WeatherSquadron (17 OWS) at the startof the second half proved to bethe difference in the game, asJoint Prisoner of War/Missing inAction Accounting Command(JPAC) earned a 22-20 victory ina Hickam Blue Division flagfootball matchup at Ward Field,Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickamon Oct. 26.

The win helped JPAC catchthe 17 OWS in the standingswith both teams ending the con-test with identical 5-3 records.

With JPAC clinging to a 13-12lead at the start of the secondhalf, both quarterbacks agreedthat the safety marked the turn-ing point of the game.

“We were only down by one atthat point, so that was huge,”said 17 OWS QB Aerographer’sMate 2nd Class Dan Hicks. “Wehad the ball starting the secondhalf and if we score, we get thelead. Instead, we give them twopoints and the ball. We ended upin a two-score hole and couldn’trecover from there.”

Meanwhile, JPAC signalcaller Department of Defensecivilian Adrain Peay said thatthe whole game swung on thetwo-point gimme.

“That was the whole momen-tum turn because we were goingback and forth, point for point,”Peay stated. “Then when theygot that safety, I think it killedthe momentum for them. That iswhat put us over the top.”

Prior to the game-changingmoment, both teams used a solidground attack to get on thescoreboard twice before half-time.

Peay finished off a seven-play,65-yard drive by rushing intothe end zone from 15 yards outto score the first touchdown ofthe game.

The converted point aftertouchdown (PAT) gave JPAC anearly 7-0 lead, but Hicks cameback on his team’s first series tonarrow the margin down to asingle point.

Starting at his own 15, Hicksused his scrambling ability to

complete three passes and rushfor 20 yards on two carries,before taking he ball up the mid-dle on a one-yard dive for six.

JPAC, however, stayed aheadat 7-6 when the 17 OWS failedon their one-point conversionattempt.

On its second offensive series,JPAC was even more efficientthan they were on their openingdrive, as the team, aided by aholding penalty on the 17 OWS,moved into the red zone on onlythree plays.

Then on first and goal fromthe 13, Peay found Capt. LamontFoxx inside the end zone toextend the team’s lead back toseven at 13-6.

Back on the field, Hicks con-

tinued to gain huge chunks ofyards with his running – pickingup 46 yards on two carries to setup house on the JPAC seven.

With 1:04 remaining on theclock before intermission, Hicksfinished off the drive with aseven-yard run for a touchdownto bring his team back to withinone at 13-12 going into thebreak.

On the second play followinghalftime, the 17 OWS committedtheir biggest error of the game,when the snap from centersailed over Hicks’ head and intothe end zone for a safety to giveJPAC a 15-12 advantage.

Given the ball back, Peaymade the 17 pay for its slip-upby marching his team 60 yards,

on eight plays to score the team’sthird and final touchdown of thegame.

Peay’s second touchdown tossof the night came on fourth downand traveled 25 yards to StaffSgt. Aaron Allmon II, who madethe grab in the end zone.

Hicks led the 17 OWS to atouchdown and two-point conver-sion late in the game off an 11-play, 70-yard drive, but thescores came too late, as JPAChung on for the two-point victory.

Although the 17 OWS fell totheir third loss of the season,Hicks said that he was pleasedwith the team’s effort and feltcertain that he and his team-mates would bounce back rightaway.

“There was only one time thatwe had the ball that we didn’tmove it down the field,” Hickspointed out. “It was more or lessthat safety. When you get twoeven teams like that, it comesdown to one or two plays. We’rea confident team. We feel we cantake anybody on base.”

While Peay isn’t claiming thathis team has arrived with itswin over the 17 OWS, he statedthat the game should provide anice springboard going into theseason’s final round of games.

“This is a big win because welost our last two,” Peay said.“This gives us good momentumgoing into the second half of theseason. We can definitely moveforward from here.”

Department of Defense civilian Adrain Peay, quarterback for Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command (JPAC), toss-es a quick out to the flat during the team’s Hickam Blue Division game versus the 17th Operational Weather Squadron (17 OWS) at Ward Field, Joint BasePearl Harbor-Hickam on Oct. 26. Both teams left the field with a 5-3 record after JPAC snuck past the 17 OWS by a score of 22-20.

USSChosin (CG 65) quarterbackInformation Systems Technician2nd Class Tony Reid connectedwith Logistics Specialist SeamanRichard Roberson on a 55-yardcatch-and-run for a touchdown tolock down a 20-12 win over USSLake Erie (CG 70) in an Afloat FlagFootball League game at WardField, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oct. 29.

The Reid to Roberson hookupcame immediately after Lake Eriescored a touchdown to pull to with-in a single digit at 13-12.

“That drive was real big,” saidChosin War Dragons co-head coachCryptologic Technician(Maintenance) 1st Class KevinHenyard. “I have a lot of faith inReid. He’s been out here for fouryears, and he’s pretty good. I put allof my faith in his hands, and hedelivered.”

The win raised the War Dragons’league record to 5-1, while LakeErie dropped down to 3-2.

The final touchdown came as ahuge relief to Chosin as both teamsexchanged scores throughout thecontest to keep the game tight.

On the opening drive of the day,Reid misfired on his first twoattempts, but rebounded to com-plete two of his next three passes,before connecting with FireControlman 3rd Class AldenGamat for a 31-yard touchdownstrike.

Lake Erie took possession andmoved the ball from their own 15down to the Chosin 33-yard line.

Facing a third and 13 yards to gofor a first, Lake Erie head coachand quarterback J.J. Perez deliv-ered a bomb on his first pass of thegame and found Boatswain’s Mate3rd Class Vincent Thomas all alonedown the left sideline for the game-tying score.

With the ball back in his hands,Reid, starting on his own 15, led asix-play march downfield and wasknocking on the door at the LakeErie 19.

After being sacked on two of thenext three downs, Reid faced a

fourth-and-goal situation at theLake Erie 25-yard line.

Despite being forced out of thepocket on the final play from scrim-mage, Reid was able to come upwith a clutch toss, when he found

Boatswain’s Mate Seaman DamienHoward in the back of the end zonefor a touchdown.

Reid then completed a pass toGamat in the end zone for thepoint-after-touchdown conversion

to take a 13-6 advantage.Although Lake Erie tried to

respond on their next drive, Perezwas picked off by Chosin defensiveback Damage Controlman FiremanDemetrius Terrell to close

out the first half.In the second half, Lake Erie was

forced to punt in their first offen-sive series, but stopped Chosin inthe red zone to get the ball back.

Starting at his own 17, Perezpicked up a first on two plays to the26, but after a false start and asack, found himself facing secondand long back at the 17.

Perez took the snap and deliv-ered a short strike to AirmanDevinIlae, who juked his way through ahost of Chosin players, beforebreaking out to the left sideline andto the house for a 63-yard touch-down.

Chosin stopped Lake Erie’s two-point conversion attempt to stayahead at 13-12.

“Our biggest thing that we needto practice right now is flag grab-bing,” said Henyard about Ilae’slong run to daylight. “We missed alot of flags that we should have goton that touchdown.”

With over four minutes remain-ing in the game, Chosin needed tokeep possession of the ball to killtime, and Reid took care of busi-ness.

Reid completed his first twopasses of the drive to move the ballto the 25.

Then following an incompletion,the Chosin QB found Roberson on acrossing pattern down themiddle ofthe field.

The fleet-footed Roberson madethe grab, shifted to the right andwas off to the races down the rightsideline and into the end zone forthe game-clinching touchdown.

“Our defense wasn’t readingwhat it needed to read, our offensewasmissingwide open guys and themud was a big factor,” said a disap-pointed Perez following the game. “Ithink we played a good game over-all, but they played a better game.We definitely wanted this game.”

Henyard said that while Chosinneeds to work on a fewmore things,he believes that the win over atough Lake Erie squad affirms thathis team is solid.

“I don’t want to sound arrogant,but I think we are the best team onthe waterfront right now,” Henyardstated. “The biggest thing is theflag grabbing. Once we get thatdown, that’s it.”

Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Tony Reid, quarterback for USS Chosin (CG 65), gets off a pass,while avoiding a defensive rush, during the team’s Afloat Flag Football League matchup against USS Lake Erie(CG 70) at Ward Field, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oct. 29. Reid delivered three tosses for touchdownsin leading Chosin to their fifth win of the season.

Pacific Aviation MuseumPearl Harbor

Pacific Aviation MuseumPearl Harbor opened itsAmerican VolunteerGroup(AVG)/ The FlyingTigers exhibit with a dedica-tion and gala reception Oct.27, in honor of the pilots andsupport personnel who protect-ed the China skies. It is a per-manent exhibit, which ishoused in the museum’shangar 79.

A Curtiss P-40 WarhawkFlying Tiger, which was one ofthe most popular and success-ful American aircraft of WWII,joined the aircraft collection atPacific Aviation Museum PearlHarbor in July 2010 and is thecenterpiece of the new exhibit.The aircraft is valued at $1.5million and is on loan to themuseum from FedEx.

Prior to the United States’involvement in World War II, agroup of volunteers wasformed to train and equip theRepublic of China Air Forcewith fighter aircraft. Theysoon became the only aerialsupport for a country underattack. Parallel to the effortwas a group of air transportpilots who “flew the Hump”carrying war material, food,and other supplies.

According to KennethDeHoff, museum executivedirector, “The P-40 displayed

in our new Flying Tigersexhibit is depicted as number67, flown by pilot RobertPrescott. On the tail horizontalstabilizer are the names ofsome of the American pilotsand crew who supported the 90P-40 aircraft received in Chinato fight.”

Artifacts in display casesaround the exhibit include uni-forms and patches that were

worn by both American andChinese members of the threefighter squadrons and thetransport group, tools and gearcarried by the crews, and orig-inal photographs of the air-craft, people and airfields.

The exhibit is dedicated toone of those transport pilotswho was a great supporter ofaviation and Pacific AviationMuseum Pearl Harbor in his

later years, Alaska Sen. TedStevens. The event featured aspecial tribute to Stevens whowas a lieutenant in the U.S.Army Air Force and flew theCurtiss C-46 and Douglas C-47cargo transports “over theHump” into China in 1944 and1945.

Built in 1942 for the RoyalCanadian Air Force and usedprimarily for training during

WWII, the aircraft changedownership before beingshipped to Hawaii in 1969 tobe used in the filming of “Tora!Tora! Tora!”

The aircraft recognizesFlying Tiger Line founderRobert Prescott, AmericanVolunteer Group ace and amember of Flying Tigers inChina. The AVG consisted ofpilots recruited from U.S.Forces and contracted with theChina National AviationCorporation to fly for China.The Tigers are credited with299 confirmed enemy aircraftdestroyed during their servicefrom 1941-1942. The FedExaircraft on loan to the museumis the P-40E model painted toresemble the Flying Tigers P-40B number 67. Many of thepilots signed the left side, andthe support crew signed theright side of the horizontal tailassembly during a reunion in1981.

Manufactured by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, the “67” onthe side of the plane representsthe original number of the planethat crashed early in the fight-ing. A red illustration on thefront fuselage represents theThird Pursuit Squadron, “HellsAngels.” An insignia on thewings represents the ChineseAir Force.
