More than 1,000 shipbuilders participated in the fifth annual 5K run on May 19 hosted by Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) and HealthWaves. Runners started and ended at Victory Landing Park near VASCIC. While the run wasn’t competitive by design, shipyard participation was. The NNS division that turned out the most participants was awarded the Shipbuilder 5K Challenge Cup. This year, the cup was presented to the Engineering and Design team who had more than 400 total participants. Jennifer Boykin, vice president of Engineering and Design, was on-site to accept the cup for the team. Trophies were also presented to the top three male and female finishers.

“May is Employee Fitness Month, and the 5K offers a terrific opportunity to promote family, fitness and fun among our shipbuilders,” said Brady Goggin, HealthWaves’ program coordinator. “We more than doubled participation this year and hope to continue expanding the event going forward.”

Emergency Calls at Newport News ShipbuildingTo report an emergency to the Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) Emergency Center, shipbuilders should dial star before 911 (*911) using landline telephones and 757-380-2222 using cell phones. Dialing *911 on a cell phone will send the call outside the shipyard to the nearest 911 Emergency Center. Calls to emergency centers outside of the yard could delay emergency response as the non-NNS responding emergency units are not as familiar with the shipyard landscape inside the gates.

On April 12, Component Fabrication and Assembly (CFA) leadership held a luncheon to honor the new “Top Gun” welders for 2011. “Top Gun” welders are considered to be the best pipe welders within the CFA organization and are selected based on the number of pipe joints welded as well as the highest pass rate of pipe joints requiring a Radiographic Testing (RT) inspection. This year’s inductees included four new welders and the first female “Top Gun” welder ever to be selected.

“Together these welders welded over 2,000 RT pipe joints in 2011 with an overall pass rate of 98.8 percent,” said

Heritage MontHAsian-Pacific American

The rich legacy of Asian Pacific Americans has strengthened the U.S. as a nation. Asian Pacific American, a term that encompasses many ethnic groups, worked tirelessly to build a national

railroad infrastructure, paving the way for western expansion. The first Asian Pacific Heritage Week was celebrated in 1979, in response to little or no recognition of this population in the 1976 bicentennial celebration. By 1990, the celebration was a month long and then made official in 1992.
