A recently completedenergy conservation proj-ect was the star attractionApril 30 when ActingAssistant Secretary of theNavy (ASN) for Energy,Installations andEnvironment (EI&E)Roger M. Natsuhara visit-ed Naval Air StationPensacola (NASP).

In his position,Natsuhara develops

department-wide policies,procedures, advocacy andstrategic plans. He alsooversees all Departmentof Navy functions andprograms related to instal-lations, safety, energy andenvironment.

Natsuhara’s day beganwith a briefing fromNASP CommandingOfficer Capt. KeithHoskins and commandleaders at the base head-quarters, Bldg. 1500.

Following that meeting,

Hoskins escortedNatsuhara on a sweepingtour of area bases withstops at NASP, NASPCorry Station and SaufleyField. Other members ofthe tour group includedCapt. Christopher Kiwus,commanding officer, ofNaval FacilitiesEngineering CommandSoutheast; and NASPensacola Public WorksOfficer, Cmdr. SteveZimmerman.

The first stop on the tourwas the chiller plant for theNational Naval AviationMuseum (NNAM) com-plex, which includes theNational Flight Academy.Base officials teamed upwith civilian contractorsand museum officials tomake a presentation aboutthe project, which isexpected to save the Navya minimum of $400,000per year in utility costs.

Naval FacilitiesEngineering Command(NavFac) Southeast’sPublic Works Department(PWD) Pensacola com-pleted the project Feb. 28,

The opening and rib-bon-cutting ceremony forthe Naval Education andTraining Command’s(NETC) HumanResources Office (HRO)was held April 30 at Bldg.680 on Naval Air StationPensacola.

Previously, HRO serv-ices for NETC and itsactivities were handled byfive different NavyHuman Resources ServiceCenters around the coun-try. With the new NETCHRO standup, HR servic-es for NETC civilian per-

sonnel will be provided bythe new office and theOffice of Civilian HumanResources (OCHR)Operations Center –Stennis, previouslyknown as the HumanResources Service Center(HRSC) – Southeast.

“This change to a com-mand-owned human rela-tions (HR) service deliv-ery model will result insignificant improvementsin service to NETC, pro-viding improved servicesand clearer, simpler man-agement,” said JaniceTravis, NETC’s director ofcivilian human resources.“We will see a commonapproach to HR efforts,

clearer lines of accounta-bility and more consistentresourcing and executionin HR efforts by having anoffice dedicated toNETC.”

Three key characteris-tics of command-ownedHR are:

1. Alignment of key HRfunctions/decisions underthe control of the com-mander.

2. Realignment of theHRSCs by command toimprove functionality.

3. Establishing a com-mon set of HR policies,processes, tools,Information Technologysystems and technicalauthority governed by theAssistant Secretary of theNavy for Manpower andReserve Affairs.

The Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC)held its annual Health and Safety Fair April 26 in theAviation Support Equipment hangar at the Naval AirTechnical Training Center (NATTC).

Thirty organizations volunteered and provideddozens of displays combined with health screeningsand safety demonstrations to more than 2,500 Sailorsand Marines. Required for NASC staff and students,the event was also open to all NAS Pensacola person-nel and the general public.

Topics highlighted during the event ranged frombody mass screenings to swimming safety. GulfPower’s electrical safety demonstration, which used anelectrically-charged model with power lines, was afavorite for Ens. Brittany Artis, student naval flight offi-cer at NASC.

“I had no idea that I am so vulnerable to electrocu-tion even when not directly touching any electricalwires,” said Artis. “Thanks to the demonstration, I now

P A G E GOSPORT2 May 3, 2013

By Lt. Danielle MonteilStaff pediatrician, NHP

Not unlike the currently estimated two million militarychildren, my childhood reads like one huge road trip:Beeville, Texas; Coronado, Calif.; Orange Park, Fla.;Coronado, Calif.; San Diego, Calif.; Newport, R.I.;Belleview, Neb.; Pensacola; Mayport, Fla.;Montgomery, Ala.; Pensacola. The average militarychild moves between six and nine times during theirschool years alone. As we celebrate the military child (inApril), we take the time to acknowledge their vulnerabil-ities and pay tribute to their incredible resilience.

My military life began as a military child. My father,a Navy pilot, served his country for 29 years. He com-pleted seven deployments and between work-ups, cooldowns, temporary additional duties and the four years hespent as a geographical bachelor, he missed about half ofthe Christmases, birthdays, school plays and soccergames in my first 18 years. Long before the era of theinternet, e-mail and video chatting, I remember weekendmornings spent at the kitchen table writing letters todaddy and recording tapes (yes, I said tapes) of us tellinghim about our week, our friends, teachers, piano recitalsand whatever else. I packaged them in envelopes andwrote “war zone” on the top right corner instead of affix-ing a stamp. I brought a much loved, dog-eared laminat-ed photo of my dad to parents day at my school. Iremember the longest day of my life after my mom got“the call” that his plane had gone down. They didn’tknow his status and there was a six-hour wait to hear hisvoice and learn he was OK.

Despite these sacrifices, I consider myself one of thelucky ones. Since 9/11, somewhere between 2,000-3,000 children have lost a parent in the military and farmore have a parent who has been wounded in action.

I did experience some of the gaps and struggles thatmany military children encounter. I never read “TheGreat Gatsby” in school. However, I did end up reading“A Tale of Two Cities” in two different grades. I strug-gled with getting to know a new town, school and class-

mates every year or so. Always the new girl, I was oftenfrustrated that the children in my class already had madetheir friends long ago and were wary of the militarychild. Why become friends with the new child whenyou know they are probably going to move at the end ofthe year? Which is what we usually did. My parents dida great job of filling these gaps as we migrated across thecountry. I learned U.S. history in the back of the mini-van while visiting national parks, historic sites andfamous cities. I learned math while they quizzed us onthe price per mile based on how much gas we boughtbetween pit stops (the numbers were easier in those days… gas was cheaper). My mother would read classicnovels such as “The Secret Garden” to pass the time andhelp us catch up on some of the books we missed inschool. I learned that home was where my family was,and family was what was important.

An important lesson I learned was that there were twoconstants in my life. My family and the military familywere always there for me.

Arriving at a new place became second nature. Youunpacked the beds first, then the kitchen. That way youwould have a place to sleep and could find the coffee pot

in the morning. Once your bedroom was done, it wastime to meet the children in your neighborhood. For themost part, we lived in base housing. I didn’t have toexplain where I was from or how long I was staying.Instead, we could just be friends, and with each newcommand came new family friends and old friendsreunited.

The military family was a built-in support system.There was always someone who would come over andfix the leaky toilet, wrestle the children in the backyardand help put up hurricane shutters. We all ate mealstogether, played in the park together and understood howto say goodbye when it was time to go. With any luck,in a duty station or two, we’d be together again.

Looking back, I see that my childhood cultivated someof my greatest strengths. Military children learn adapt-ability from experiencing so many cultures and ways oflife. They have seen more of this country than the aver-age person, and while they may miss out on having toread “To Kill a Mockingbird,” they get the benefit ofmultiple school systems to learn from. In each newplace, they can choose whether to continue the old sportor pick out a new one. Often necessary through a parent’sdeployment, they learn responsibility and independencewhen they are young. Out of the struggle to learn to sur-vive, they learn to thrive wherever they are.

Military children bloom wherever they are plantedand now that cycle begins again with my family. As Iwatch my daughter wobbling around on unsure feet, Iexamine the choices I’ve now made as a military par-ent. My husband and I have secured her stability withparents that will always put family first, a military com-munity that will support her and a lifestyle that willshow her the world, as well as, teach her strength,adaptability, resilience and understanding. To mydaughter, and all the military children, I salute you.Your parents and your military family are so very proudof who you are and how you have blossomed despite allwe have asked of you.

And now begins my daughter’s great adventure:San Diego, Calif.; Pensacola ...

Bloom where you’re planted: A story of a military childhood

said Lt. Cmdr. Rich Contreras,director of the FacilitiesEngineering and AcquisitionDivision (FEAD) for the NASPPWD.

Contreras said the plant is ofnote because it is one of the largestenergy projects completed on thebase in the last three years.

“I think it is a win-win for notonly the base and the museum, butfor the entire Navy,” he said.

The result of a $7 million utili-ty energy services contract(UESC) with Pensacola Energyand Siemens BuildingTechnologies Division, the pro-ject’s energy savings is expectedto make significant contributionstoward the mandated require-ments of the EnergyIndependence Security Act of2007 and Executive Order 13423,which require specific reductionsin energy in federal facilities of atleast 30 percent, by fiscal year2015.

The work included the replace-ment of 19 rooftop air handlingunits and upgrades to the energymanagement control system forthe NNAM as well as high effi-ciency chiller and cooling towerreplacements.

Samuel D. Lee, constructionmanager with the NASP FacilitiesEngineering and AcquisitionDivision (FEAD), said the projectwas a complete success frombeginning to end.

“The contractor delivered a

high quality installation onemonth ahead of schedule,” hesaid. “This project should save thetaxpayers a considerable amountof money due to energy savings.”

Museum director, retired Navycaptain Robert “Bob” Rasmussen,is happy with the results.

“It seems to work like acharm,” he said. “I mean its just aneven temperature all of the timeand no hassle. It is just a realimprovement over what we hadbefore. We haven’t seen the hotseason yet, but I am veryimpressed.”

Natsuhara, who has an engi-neering background and retiredfrom the U.S. Navy in 2008 with25 years of service, said he got apositive first impression of NASP.

“You guys have a really goodCO, he seems like he is veryknowledgeable,” he said. “I amlooking forward to the rest of thetour.”

The NASP visit also includedwalkthrough tours of Naval AirTechnical Training Center(NAATC) quarters and class-rooms before the group satdown for lunch at the NASGalley.

After lunch, Natsuhara hit theroad for tours of NASP CorryStation, Naval HospitalPensacola, the Joint AmbulatoryCare Center (JACC), the NavelExchange and commissarycomplex and Saufley Field,before departing for his nextstop at Naval Air StationMeridian in Mississippi.

demands it places on our civilian personnel. Aswe get this right, fleet readiness will improve,because fleet readiness starts here at NETC.”

The NETC HRO will serve more than 4,500civilians enterprise-wide and consist of 22 HRpersonnel located in Bldg. 680 on NASP andfive additional HR specialists at other site loca-tions with concentrations of NETC personnel,including Norfolk, Va., and San Diego.

“In today’s Navy HR environment, com-mands must have the ability to adapt quickly tochanging and unique mission requirements,”added Travis. “This new approach will enableNETC to tailor our human capitol decisions andresources both strategically and operationally.”

The Human Resources decentralization planwas created last year by the Assistant Secretaryof the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairswith the goal of delivering more streamlinedand customer-focused support.

“A major advantage to this change to com-mand-owned servicing is that HR profession-als will be able to focus solely on the majorcommand to which they are assigned and arenot required to focus on several different com-mands at the same time,” said Patricia C.Adams, Deputy Assistant Secretary of theNavy for Civilian Human Resources. “Thisnew organization will provide better customerservice through specific, command-focusedHR teams and better partnerships with cus-tomers.”

According to NASC Safety Officer JohnPrince, this event remains a prime example of theNavy’s concern with the wellbeing of its person-nel.

“This fair demonstrates NASC’s constantemphasis on safety and is in addition to themandatory safety training throughout the year forour staff and students,” said Prince. “As a result ofour aggressive safety programs, we have seen areduction in the injury rate of our personnel by 52percent during the past three years.”

The event functions annually as NASC’s kick-off for the Navy’s 100 Critical Days of Summerprogram. According to the Naval Safety Center,

the Navy historically experiences a significant risein mishaps as spring and summer begins.Incorporating additional risk management train-ing during this period revitalizes and reinforcesefforts to reduce safety hazards.

“Safety cannot be stressed enough, whether onthe job or at home,” said Capt. James Vandiver,NASC commanding officer. “You expect numer-ous safety risks when flying from the deck of anaircraft carrier or lowering rescue swimmers froma helicopter, but texting while driving or using achainsaw at home can severely injure you just aseasily. Our safety efforts aim to instill risk man-agement as part of daily activities for our Sailorsand Marines and effectively help to reduce acci-dents and maintain mission readiness.”

“MOLINARI!” the emer-gency room (ER) nurse bel-lowed, jolting my Navy hus-band and I out of our waitingroom stupor. Tearing our eyesfrom hypnotic crime showreruns playing on the wall-mounted television, we scram-bled to move our 12-year-olddaughter, who had been placedin a wheelchair to elevate herlacerated foot.

“So, what happened?” thenurse asked.

“It was the blender,” I blurt-ed, nervously.

“The blender?” the nurselooked in horror at our daugh-ter’s foot, wrapped in a dish-towel.

“Well, no, her foot wasn’tactually in the blender ... it wason the floor ... and the blenderwas in the freezer.”

“In the freezer?” the nurseasked, confused.

“I ... it was me ... ,” I mum-bled culpably, “I put the glasspitcher in the freezer. Whenmy daughter opened the door,it fell out and cut her foot.”

“Ah,” said the nurse, whoseemed relieved to not be deal-ing with a frappè d foot. “Let’stake a quick look.”

As our daughter winced andwhined, we carefully unrav-eled the dishtowel. “Hmmm ...looks like you’re gonna need afew stitches young lady,” thenurse said.

The nurse fired questions atus – “full name, date of birth,

address, phone number, TRI-CARE Prime or Standard,sponsor’s Social” – while tap-ping away at her computer.

Then, after a pregnantpause, she looked intently at usand carefully enunciated, “Has

your daughter ever had stitchesbefore?”

“No,” I answered immedi-ately.

My mind waffled and myeyes darted as I thought,“Should I tell her about thatface plant she did into the sideof the backyard playset? Shedidn’t need stitches, but if Idon’t mention that, will shethink I’ve got something tohide? Why is she asking thisquestion anyway? Does shethink we are abusive parentswith a long history of suspi-cious ER visits? I guess thewhole blender story doessound a bit suspect, and I wasthe one who put the blender inthe freezer to begin with. Ishould have known it wouldslide off that bag of chickentenders. It was my fault. I’msure she’s alerting the policeright now. I think I hearsirens.”

“Sit tight in the waitingroom. When the doctor isready for you, we’ll get you allfixed up,” the nurse said with asmile.

We settled back into thewaiting room, just in time tosee a withering cross examina-tion on “Matlock.” Stagnatingunder the unforgiving fluores-cent lights for another hour, wereassured our daughter, ana-lyzed the people around us,leafed through dog-eared mag-azines, and watched an episodeof “Hill Street Blues.”

Just as I thought cobwebswere forming, our name wascalled.

The X-ray technician, thebilling rep, the nurse, the doc-tor – they all asked the samequestions. First a battery ofrapid-fire queries regardingtedious details were launchedin robotic succession, followedby one carefully worded ques-tion delivered police-interro-gation style.

I can’t recall if the finalquestion was “Has yourdaughter had stitches before?”or “Are you the abusive parentwho negligently put theblender in the freezer side-ways?” but I am certain thatthey had it out for me.

I prayed they would not findout about our two older chil-dren, who have had their shareof ER visits in past tours.Three broken bones, twopulled elbows, and at least adozen stitches; with such typi-cal excuses – fell off the couch,fell off the playset, fell into theplayset, fell down the stairs. Itall sounded so textbook, I wassure that the police were ontheir way to haul me off to jail.

But finally, after 30 minutesof treatment and three hours ofwaiting, we were released.Feeling like some kind of mid-dle-aged jailbird, I sheepishlywheeled my daughter back tothe ER entrance.

Suddenly, “YOU’REUNDER ARREST!” blaredfrom the waiting room. I con-sidered bolting, but I was real-ly looking forward to ourupcoming PCS to RhodeIsland, and besides, I wouldneed to pack my fiber pills and

contour pillow before I couldlead a life on the run. Just as Iturned to face the wall andspread ’em, I noticed that theorder had come from “CHiPs”actor Erik Estrada as Officer“Ponch” Poncherello on thewall-mounted TV, and I real-ized that I was free to go.

On our way back to base,while my daughter sipped aconciliatory Whataburgerchocolate shake, I turned to herin an effort to relieve the still-fresh pang of guilt and said,“Lollipop, if I hadn’t put thatblender in the freezer side-ways, none of this would’vehappened. I’m so sorry.”

“It’s OK, mom,” she saidbetween sips. “It’s not yourfault. It was just an accident.”

Along with my heart andthat chocolate shake, my moth-er’s guilt finally melted away.

Digital project uncovers historic documentsPhoto, storyby Sue BrinkNAVFAC Southeast PAO

NAS JACKSONVILLE —Status of the Phase I scanningeffort for the Naval FacilitiesEngineering Command(NavFac) Southeast CadastralModernization Program (CMP)was highlighted April 25 whenNavFac Southeast conducted itsannual CMP meeting.

Cadastral documents are pub-lic real estate records, surveys ormaps showing ownership,boundaries or value of a property.The NavFac Cadastral staff ateach Facilities EngineeringCommand (FEC) is the officialcustodian of the Navy andMarine Corps real estate recordsfor its area of responsibility. Theteam reviewed the way ahead,the importance of the newprocess in preserving historicalrecords and any processimprovements at the meeting.

The CMP project is dividedinto five phases, with each phasebeing piloted at NavFacSoutheast before being used tosupport other Navy regions. Aseach phase is successfully com-pleted, a new region will adoptthe change. NavFac SoutheastReal Estate Cartographer andGeographic Information SystemsSpecialist Jill Rose keeps theproject on task by coordinatingmeetings with other FECs, andengaging with the Naval AirStation Jacksonville DefenseLogistics Agency (DLA) andcontractor ICM DocumentSolutions to implement anyprocess improvements.

“Results of these meetingsshow just how big the project isand the importance of sharinginformation as we push this pro-

gram out for others to use,” saidRose. “This project will provideaccess to their legal documents inreal time creating a process thatallows them to be able to enterthe coordinates of a location andlearn everything about the trans-action.”

Rose explained that the teamused available technology tomake the workflow easier andthe Phase I pilot served as theresearch and development phasebefore it was launched to otherregions in the Navy.

“We had to let go of the waywe used to do things and focus onhow we could make our processbetter for everyone who needsthe information,” said Rose.

Bob McDowell, NavFacSoutheast real estate branch head,stated that the project was imple-mented because a customerrequested time-sensitive realestate information. As the teamresearched and was able to pro-vide the documents within oneand a half days, McDowellthought that it should be done

more quickly and beganresearching new ways toimprove the response time.

“The needs of our internal andexternal customers were crucialto this project to provide informa-tion as soon as possible,” saidMcDowell. The team recognizedthe need for change and came upwith innovative ways to be betterat what they do.

Rose met with the NavFacSoutheast real estate team andother stakeholders to decide thebest plan of attack for the realestate files. With Commander,Navy Installations Command(CNIC) and NavFac headquar-ters supporting the ideas of theteam, they started to focus onbringing their cadastral docu-ments into the digital age.

In a search for the records, theNavFac Southeast Real Estateteam discovered many historicaldocuments along the way somehistorical treasures were discov-ered buried in boxes.

“We have deed transfers with‘wet’ signatures from Presidents

Tyler, Polk, Bush, as well asRobert F. Kennedy and theSpanish governor of Florida,”Rose said. “Some of the docu-ments are so old and fragile, theyneeded to be handled with extracare.”

The historical discoveriesbrought immediate attentionfrom the National Archives andRecords Administration (NARA)who visited NavFac Southeast toreview some of the documents.Finding out the documents havesuch a historical importance con-firmed the need to duplicate andsecure the documents.

NARA is an independentagency of the U.S. governmentassigned to preserve and docu-ment government history.Historical data contained in thefiles at NavFac Southeast pro-vide a glimpse into the formerway of transferring, disposing ofor acquiring land.

“The fact we have documentssigned by a Spanish leader trans-ferring property to us is verycool,” said Jake Walls, NavFacSoutheast land surveyor.“History lessons are all aroundus.”

“This project is going to makeretrieving information easier,”Walls said. “Although it is a hugeundertaking, it will be well worthit for our customers and thepreservation of important docu-ments.”

The project fixes many issuesin the old process and includeselectronic conversion, retrieval,output and distribution of digitaland hardcopy information in theform of original deeds, maps andreal estate working files.

“Partnering with DLA resultedin a reduction in costs for scan-ning and file storage, and DLA’sglobal presence has been vital for

accomplishing this effort NavFac-wide,” Rose said. DLA provid-ed secure access to the files, stor-age and retrieval capabilitieswhich were critical componentsfor the project. NavFac has mul-tiple surveying and CMP con-tracts in place which provideaccess to electronic Cadastralfiles for contractors at each FEC.

DLA provides the scanningand retrieval portion of the proj-ect and ICM provides the addi-tional staff required to roll out thenew program at each FEC. ICMalso developed a customizeddatabase program used for track-ing the location of the originaldocuments; automated theprocess for manifesting andbookmarking the pdf documents;and developed a color-codedlabeling program for categorizingthe different types of interests thatare maintained by Cadastral.

By creating standard operatingprocedures (SOP), the teamensured each file was handledcorrectly and followed a processto prepare the documents forscanning and conversion. SOPswere designed to ensure consis-tency and uniformity acrossNavFac . The goal is that allcadastral files are scanned andretrieved in the same way forNavy and Marine Corps interests.

“Discovery of missing docu-ments highlights the need for abetter record keeping processgoing forward,” said ShenitaBrown, ICM scanning documentspecialist. The team is workingon the next phase (Phase II) of theeffort which includes standardiz-ing the contents of all new filesstored by Cadastral.

The team from DLA and ICMhas processed more than 200,000pieces of documentation sinceSeptember 2010.

Jake Walls, a land surveyor with Naval Facilities EngineeringCommand (NavFac) Southeast, reviews real estate documentsthat are part of the Cadastral Modernization Program (CMP) proj-ect. The NavFac Southeast Cadastral team tests proceduresbefore pushing them out to other regions in the Navy.

The award recognizesthe highest level of lodg-ing service standards,and each year, half ofNavy installations gothrough the inspectionprocess. Commandswhich attain a five-starrating are honored withthe Admiral Elmo R.Zumwalt Award.

Only 10 NGIS facili-ties worldwide were rec-

ognized as 2012 awardwinners, and the NASWhiting Field NGIS isone of only five in theUnited States to receivethe prestigious designa-tion. It is recognitionthat greatly excited thefacility’s staff.

“It’s always great toearn recognition likethat. Just knowing thatall the hard work, dedi-

cation, and teamworkpaid off was terrific,”NGIS Manager BettyWallin said about theaward. “These employ-ees work hard all thetime and they deserveit.”

The Whiting FieldNGIS is no stranger tothe Zumwalt Award withthree others hangingproudly over the lobby

entrance. The staffearned the five-star des-ignation in 2001, 2003,2008 and now 2012.Wallin, who stepped intothe manager position latein 2012, emphasized thatLemarian Rasberry, theprevious manager, estab-lished a goal that thefacility would always beprepared for an inspec-tion. No matter when theinspection team wouldcome, his aim was thatthe rooms would alwaysbe ready, and it is still astaff-wide effort to beprepared at all times.

“Our goal is to be afive-star facility all thetime,” Wallin said. “Thestaff goes above andbeyond to make sure that

everything is as perfectas it can be.”

The award was estab-lished in 1974 by theSecretary of the Navy torecognize outstandinghospitality within theNavy lodging establish-ments. NGIS operationsreceive a rating of three,four, or five stars basedon several categoriesincluding amenities,service, facility quality,and financial manage-ment. A five-star ratingis awarded to an installa-tion’s entire NGIS oper-ation if they achieve anoverall score of 95 per-cent or higher.

The ratings are estab-lished by a Commander,Navy Installations

Command (CNIC)accreditation team. Theteam conducted an unan-nounced inspection ofthe entire facility includ-ing housekeeping servic-es, rooms, commonareas, front desk opera-tions, personnel manage-ment, financial andlogistics management.

“From top to bottomthe Navy Gateway Innand Suites at WhitingField is a first rate opera-tion,” Capt. MatthewCoughlin, the base com-manding officer stated.“This award only recog-nizes what I alreadyknew – that we have afantastic team and afacility we can be proudof.”

The Navy announced April 29 inNavAdmin 115/13, this year’s nationaltheme is “Building Leadership:Embracing Cultural Values andInclusion.”

Inclusion is a recognition that diversityof ideas, experiences, areas of expertiseand backgrounds contribute significantlyto the Navy’s ability to fulfill its variety ofmissions both today and in the future.USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81)exemplified this year’s theme of embrac-ing cultural values and inclusion by utiliz-ing the talents, language skills and cultur-al backgrounds of three Sailors to furthertheir mission in the U.S. Navy’s firstbilateral anti-piracy exercise with China’sPeople’s Liberation Army (Navy)(PLA(N)).

In September 2012, USS Winston S.Churchill and the Chinese Frigate YiYang (FF 548) conducted visit, board,search, and seizure (VBSS) drills near theHorn of Africa to enhance cooperativeanti-piracy efforts. During the exercise,three Churchill Sailors were utilized astranslators.

SH2 Junwen Liang, SHSN Qing Suand LS3 Guo Rui Liu, all Chinese immi-grants, played an integral role in the suc-cess of the exercise by bridging both thelanguage and the cultural gaps betweenthe two crews.

Liang, who immigrated to the UnitedStates from China at age 20, said he cameto America speaking almost no Englishand joined the Navy after pursuing fur-ther education in New York. During theexercise, Liang performed as translatorfor Cmdr. Chris D. Stone, commandingofficer of USS Winston S. Churchill.

“This is a unique opportunity to useboth my native and adopted languages inservice of my country,” said Liang.

According to Stone, “On-site transla-tion and briefing on customs helpedensure solid communication betweenU.S. Navy and PLA(N) Sailors, alongwith aiding us in understanding the cul-tural nuances that help both sides betterunderstand each other.”

“My opportunity to take part in thisexchange, and in the Navy itself, remindsme that I serve a country that accepts peo-ple from many different parts of theworld,” said Liang. “No matter whereand how I serve, I’m still serving for myfreedom and my country.”

Asians and Pacific Islanders of variousnationalities and ancestry have been serv-ing in our Navy since the early 19th cen-tury. Asians and Pacific Islanders havecontinued to be at the forefront as leadersin every aspect of American life, includ-ing Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, Hawaii’s firstcongressman and the first JapaneseAmerican to serve in Congress. Havingenlisted in the U.S. Army at age 17 andserving during World War II, Sen. Inouyewas a great champion of all the armedforces throughout his career. He receivedthe Medal of Honor for his extraordinaryheroism and indomitable leadership dur-ing an engagement in World War II. OnDec. 17, 2012, Sen. Inouye passed away,leaving behind a noted legacy of leader-ship and a drive to enhance inclusion in

the armed forces and across the country.In 2013, Sailors of Asian and Pacific

Islander heritage comprise 6.5 percent ofthe active-duty naval force. More than20,000 active-duty Sailors, 4,000reservists, and 18,900 Navy civilianemployees identify as Asian American orPacific Islander, including 10 flag offi-cers, 9 members of the Senior ExecutiveService (SES), and 176 master chief pettyofficers. Asian Americans and PacificIslanders encompass more than 50 ethnicand language groups, representing a vastarray of cultures, nationalities, and histor-ical roots.

Directed by Congress in 1978 andestablished by presidential proclamationin 1979, Asian/Pacific American HeritageWeek was first observed the week of May

4, 1979. In 1990, President George H. W.Bush expanded the observance to encom-pass the entire month, and in 1992,Congress passed a law permanently des-ignating May as Asian/Pacific AmericanHeritage Month.

The Defense Equal OpportunityManagement Institute provides printableposters, presentations, guidance fororganizing observance, and educationalfacts on their website, http://www.deomi.org/ under the section “SpecialObservances.”

“No, sir, but we don’t land airplanes on the roof either.”

From Center for InformationDominance PAO

The Center for InformationDominance (CID) will hostan on-site evaluation teamfrom the Council onOccupational Education(COE) May 20-23 to com-plete a reaffirmation ofaccreditation study.

CID has completed aninstitutional self-study outlin-ing adherence to prescribedstandards of curriculum andinstructional quality, and willbe undergoing the periodic

evaluation process requiredfor reaccreditation.

CID, formerly the Centerfor Cryptology and NavalTechnical Training CenterCorry Station, has been anaccredited institution for post-secondary, non-degree techni-cal training since 1975.

The upcoming visit is partof the process that COE usesto continue offering Sailorscollege credits for the militarytraining they receive at CID.

COE is a non-profit volun-tary membership organizationperforming quality assurance

functions and promotingimprovement of educationand training among work-force development providers.

COE is the institutionalaccrediting body, which certi-fies CID meets the minimumstandards as a post-secondary,non-degree granting, techni-

cal training institution.For Navy vocational and

technical schools, COEaccreditation certifies adher-ence to the same instructionalstandards as public and pri-vate academic institutions.
