The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: theCentennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA.

The image on the left side of the nameplatedepicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss push-er bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan.18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USSBirmingham two months earlier after his planehad been loaded on the ship, the USSPennsylvania event was the first time a planelanded on and then took off from a U.S. war-ship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’smost modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 SuperHornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air Station News,the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. Agosport was a voice tube used by flight instruc-tors in the early days of naval aviation to giveinstructions and directions to their students.The name “Gosport” was derived fromGosport, England (originally God’s Port),where the voice tube was invented.

The Navy Exchange Aviation Plazapartnered with the NAS PensacolaNavy Voting Assistance Program andEscambia County Voter RegistrationOffice to host a voting drive.

The drive brought awareness of votingrights, answered questions and shared thehistory timeline of U.S. voting. Manypeople were amazed and enlightened bywhat past generations went through tosimply have the right to vote.

Lt. Dwayne Vinette, installation vot-ing assistance officer, along withAWVC Richard Ibanez and their team,rallied to inform patrons of their rightsand assisted them in the actual registra-tion process.

“My mission is to educate all mem-bers of uniformed services that it is theirobligation to participate in somethingthey protect,” Vinette said. “Vote.”

His passion and efforts paid off as theteam registered 81 voters in a two-hourtime frame. The team will continue withtheir mission until the deadline of Oct. 9for the 2012 election year.

Sandra Lattiemre and KatieChandler, members of the EscambiaCounty elections staff, were on site toassist Florida residents in the registra-tion process. Lattiemre stated that theirmission is to “ensure all qualified citi-zens are free to exercise their funda-mental right to vote in open, impartialand secure elections.” The EscambiaCounty team registered three voters andprocessed one absentee ballot request.

The participation was outstandingand the drive was a huge success with atotal of 85 voters registered. Everyonewho attended was able to exercise theirright to vote and have more of an appre-ciation for the sacrifices that many oftheir ancestors made to give them thisright.

engagement on the job and greater desire to stay withtheir organization,” said Ellen Galinsky, president ofFamilies and Work Institute. “In addition, they reportlower stress levels and better overall health. Whatmakes this honor so special is that employees have cor-roborated this, affirming that it is indeed an effectiveand flexible workplace.”

NETC’s workforce flexibility programs and practiceswere measured against national norms from the FWINational Study of Employers. NETC employees weresurveyed confidentially on their access to flexible workoptions, supportiveness of the command’s culture and onnationally tested measures of workplace effectiveness.

“The Sloan Award is proof that it’s possible to suc-cessfully execute our mission of maintaining, training,and equipping mission-ready naval forces while simul-taneously maintaining empowered, satisfied civilianemployees,” said Capt. John Jones, NETC chief ofstaff. “We have a total readiness environment here atNETC with a unique balance of workforce flexibilityelements for each employee. NETC leadership and ourhuman resources team is committed to our people, andis driven toward making NETC the best place to workin the Department of Defense. Various command sur-veys and assessments have indicated that these pro-grams are working.”

NETC is one of the Navy’s largest shore commandswith more than 240 commands and activities world-

wide, providing training to more than 35,000 Sailors,Marines, Airmen, Soldiers, Coast Guardsmen and inter-national students on any given day.

Training commands in the NETC domain use blend-ed learning solutions that include hands-on training,computer-based learning, and simulators to developSailors through education and training that builds per-sonal, professional and leadership skills.

The following is a copy of a letter sent out by NAS Pensacola CommandingOfficer Capt. Christopher Plummer concerning the Resident EnergyConservation Program (RECP).

From: Commanding Officer, Naval Air Station PensacolaTo: PPV residents onboard NAS Pensacola and Corry Village

Subj: PPV Housing Resident Energy Conservation Program

1. Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola in conjunction with our family housingpartner, Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC), is moving forward with a plan toincrease awareness and conservation of electrical and gas usage in our neighbor-hoods. The program carries out policy from the Office of the Secretary of Defenseand Commander, Navy Installations Command. The program is intended to pro-mote good stewardship of our resources and environment through awareness, per-sonal responsibility and education.

2. For the awareness part of the program, BBC has been collecting informationon the amount of power used in PPV homes. With this information, BBC hasdeveloped a baseline for power consumption by housing type and size. You willsoon start receiving a monthly utility consumption report. This is also referred toas a “mock bill,” since it will look a lot like utility bills you may have received inprivate homes in the past. This is not, however, a bill. This report will show howmuch electricity and gas (where applicable) you are using each month. The firstmonthly mock bill will be sent to you on or about 15 February 2013 for the monthof January 2013. You will get these reports every month. The report will includea normal usage band, which is the amount of electricity considered normal foryour type and size of house. The normal usage band will vary month-to-monthbased on seasonal differences in climate.

3. The personal responsibility component involves changes that you can makein your behavior that will help lower utility usage and save energy. The monthlyutility usage report will be your primary tool in achieving this goal. The month-

ly utility usage report will eventually serve as an actual bill for electricity and/orgas that was consumed above and beyond the normal usage band. You will findif your usage is below the baseline for your housing, you may be rewarded witha rebate. While actual billing will not take place for several months after the startof mock billing, you should start comparing your usage with the normal usageband in your monthly utility bill. If you are above the normal usage band, youmight want to look into ways that you can conserve electricity and/or gas to movewithin the normal usage band. You can also ask your Property Manager for assis-tance. We will provide you with more information about actual billing and rebatesbefore we begin implementing them.

4. The third and perhaps most important element of this program is education.Along with your monthly consumption report, you will receive tips and ideas onways to reduce energy consumption. Individually these energy saving tips resultin small savings but collectively they can make a big difference. BBC hasreceived a Department of Energy Smart Grid Data Access Grant for theSwitch4Good program. This grant is to encourage customers to better managetheir electricity use through improved access to their electricity consumption data.BBC developed the program and worked with Yardi Energy System and WattzOnto customize the program for Navy Southeast project. The grant will help to iden-tify the combination of habit shifting techniques that will maximize resident sav-ings.

5. NAS Pensacola and BBC are also doing our part to reduce energy consump-tion through energy efficient construction. We are also striving to adopt greenpractices at home and at work.

6. Additional details on this program will soon be provided by BBC. If youhave any questions, please contact the Housing Service Center at 452-5111.

Access to subsidized basehousing is one of the morevaluable benefits available tomilitary service members andtheir families.

Contemporary base hous-ing can offer a cheaper alter-native and is often conve-niently located in safe neigh-borhoods with good schooldistricts.

However, the perks of basehousing can come at theexpense of some of the liber-ties we take for granted.

Tenants can be evictedfrom base housing for eventhe most minor violations. Butcan base housing really dothat? The answer depends notonly on the specific facts ofthe case, but also on the natureof the housing itself. It allcomes down to who has juris-diction and what is the natureof the lease violation.

Who has jurisdiction? In 1996, the Department of

Defense embarked on theMilitary HousingPrivatization Initiative; as aresult, most base housing isnow managed by private enti-ties operating on public lands.The laws, however, have beenslow to catch up to this hybridsystem.

On some military installa-tions, base housing is stillunder exclusive federal juris-diction. In those cases, federallaw governs the eviction.Unfortunately, there is no fed-

eral eviction law. As such,tenants cannot be “evicted”because there is no federallandlord/tenant court whichhas authority to evict.Nevertheless, many basehousing providers will stillserve tenants with evictionnotices, knowing there is noauthority to enforce thenotices.

On other military installa-tions, the jurisdiction is con-current. This means that thelandlord/tenant law in thestate applies. On these instal-lations, the local landlord/ten-ant court has the authority toevict, but requires both partiesto appear before a neutraljudge before carrying out aneviction. This is where theService members’ Civil ReliefAct (SCRA), a federal statute,comes in handy. Prior to evict-ing a service member or

his/her dependents, a landlordis required to obtain a courtorder. The SCRA can also, insome instances, allow a stayin the eviction proceedings,postponing the case for a peri-od of time.

Three categoriesWhat is the nature of the

lease violation? Lease viola-tions that lead to eviction typ-ically fall into three cate-gories: failure to pay rent,damage to housing and per-sonal feuds between neigh-bors.

Fighting an eviction thatwas initiated due to failure tomake timely payments is dif-ficult. Some base housingofficials will begin threaten-ing eviction within 10 days ofnonpayment and may notrescind the eviction even ifthe balance is paid at a later

date. Additionally, the instal-lation commanding officerdoes not condone the behav-ior, and may assist the basewith the removal of nonpay-ing tenants.

It is much easier to fight aneviction resulting from dam-age to housing or personalfeuds. Leases have numerousterms and conditions, includ-ing community policies. Basehousing strictly interprets itsleases. If a tenant breaks arule, fails to fulfill a leaseterm, or engages in behaviorthat violates neighborhoodstandards, then the tenant hasdefaulted.

Special rules applyAlthough leases are con-

tracts, it is not that easy.Leases are more complexbecause they involve your res-idential home. Americanjurisprudence has long recog-nized that the home is a spe-cial place, subject to specialrules. If a tenant is beingthreatened with eviction bybase housing under these cir-cumstances, then there is adefinite possibility that theeviction will not be enforcedor is illegal. If the tenant,however, is engaging inbehavior that the installationCO reasonably believesendangers the safety and wellbeing of others, then he or shehas the authority to removethe tenant regardless of thejurisdiction. In cases wherethe behavior is not abhorrentor there is simply a technicalviolation, then the installation

CO is unlikely to take on theadded responsibility of land-lord/tenant judge.

Ultimately, if you findyourself facing eviction frombase housing, you shouldexplore your options withyour local legal assistanceprovider.

In furtherance of the mis-sion, sometimes we are calledupon to sacrifice some of ourliberties; however, the privatenature of modern base hous-ing often provides tenantswith more rights than theythink.

If you have a legal issue orquestion, you can contact theNAS Pensacola Navy LegalServices Office (NLSO) CentralHeadquarters. The office islocated at 161 Turner St., Bldg.624, Suite B, second deck. Thephone number is 452-3730.

NAS Pensacola hosts NavSCIATTSspecial operations small craft training exercises

By Mike O’ConnorGosport Associate Editor

NAS Pensacola hostedtraining teams from NavalSmall Craft Instruction

and Technical Training School(NavSCIATTS) for offshore andlanding exercises last week.

Swift, heavily armed small craft staged out ofNASP’s Sherman Cove Marina for operations in theIntracoastal waterway, their training scenarios involv-ing search-and-seizure exercises with NASP Port Opsand runs to Eglin AFB’s remote wooded areas.

The crews onboard the NavSCIATTS vessels wereinternational military students from friendly partnernations, working together with highly experiencedNavSCIATTS instructors.

The unit’s Commanding Officer, Cmdr. JohnCowan, said NASP has been an ideal base for theNavSCIATTS training missions.

“This is the second time we’ve done our field train-ing exercise for our patrol craft officer coastal course(at NASP),” Cowan said. “NAS Pensacola has bentover backward to facilitate this training. They’ve goneout of their way to make sure we’ve had berthing andfacilities. We couldn’t be happier and it reallymeans a lot to these international military stu-dents.”

Launching NavSCIATTS’s boats fromNASP extends the range and depth of thevarious training scenarios.

“This is the last week of a nine-weektraining course that we’re putting themthrough,” Cowan noted. “The intent, inbringing them out to NAS Pensacola, is toplace them in an environment that they are notfamiliar with, so that we can really test the skills thatthey’ve been learning over the previous weeks.”

In the final exercise, he said, the students participat-ed in a hot extract off of the beach (at Eglin AFB)

of friendly troops.“We’ve coordinated with all of the local

authorities and of course they’re going tobe firing blank rounds,” Cowan said. “It’svery important for us to make it as realis-tic as possible. And we’ll have someopposition forces staged to engage them

from the beach with blank rounds, grenadesimulators, smoke (generators), again to

make it as realistic as possible.”Opposing force, or “OpFor” troops – were repre-

sented by instructors wearing Vietnam-era tiger-stripe

camouflage uniforms.“The feedback that (students) are giving us is that

it’s outstanding training and the realism, I think, isgreatly appreciated,” Cowan said. “It’s rare that theyget to hear the sound of gunfire and we certainly wantto make sure that the first time they hear gunfire iswhen they’re in a training scenario, and not whenthey’re in harm’s way.”

The NavSCIATTS CO was pleased with the smoothNavy interdepartamental cooperation. “We can’tthank the base enough for all that they do,” he said.“By allowing us to use these training areas, it allowsus to use the whole coastal area to present unfamiliartraining environments.”

LDO/CWO programs providingcommissioning opportunitiesfor eligible enlisted SailorsFrom Navy PersonnelCommand Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn.(NNS) – The Navy is seek-ing applications from high-ly qualified Sailors in paygrades E-6 through E-9 forthe Fiscal Year 2014 active-duty limited duty officer(LDO) and chief warrantofficer (CWO) programs,officials said recently.

“LDOs and CWOsbring a variety of technicalexpertise and a seasonedperspective into the ward-room from their enlistedservice,” said Lt. ShaneWalker, assistantLDO/CWO communitymanager, Bureau of NavalPersonnel and an LDO.“These programs deliver tothe officer corps seasonedtechnical professionalswith proven leadershipabilities.”

LDOs and CWOs arecomposed of Sailors fromthe enlisted ranks whoserve in 56 different officertechnical fields. These pro-grams serve as a path tocommissioning for quali-fied Sailors, but moreimportantly the LDO andCWO communities sup-port the warfighting capa-bility and readiness ofnaval forces through lead-ership, technical proficien-cy, and experience, accord-ing to Walker.

“They are the primarymanpower source for tech-nically specific billets notbest suited for traditionalunrestricted line, restrictedline or staff corps careerpath officers,” said Walker,“Using critical enlistedexperience, they are com-mitted to the continuousleadership, improvement,training and mentoring ofSailors.”

The LDO and CWOcommunities have desig-nators in the surface, sub-marine, aviation, informa-tion dominance, expedi-tionary, and general seriesas well as staff corps com-munities and serve in avariety of leadership billetswithin their technicalfields, ranging from divi-sion officer to command-ing officer ashore.

Eligibility requirements

for LDO include U.S. citi-zenship, serving in paygrade E-7 through E-9 oran E-6 who has passed theexam for E-7 and beendetermined board eligible.Active-duty applicants forLDO must have at leasteight, but not more than 15years of active-duty serv-ice.

Eligibility requirementsfor CWO include U.S. citi-zenship, serving in paygrade E-7 through E-9.Active-duty applicants forCWO must have at least13, but not more than 22years of active-duty serv-ice.

These programs do notrequire applicants to have acollege degree.Applications must be post-marked no later than Nov.1. The in-service procure-ment board is scheduled to

Navy personnel boss talks pay,ERB, 21st Century Sailor

and Marine initiativeFrom Defense MediaActivity – Pentagon

ARLINGTON, Va.(NNS) – The Navy’s toppersonnel professionalheld an all hands call atthe Pentagon recently, todiscuss the 21st CenturySailor and Marine initia-tive and to give Sailorsand Marines an update onother important personnelissues.

Assistant Secretary ofthe Navy for Manpowerand Reserve Affairs JuanM. Garcia explained the21st Century Sailor andMarine initiative. He saidit takes all the existingpersonnel support pro-grams, along with a hand-ful of new ones, and putsthem all under theumbrella of 21st CenturySailor and Marine.

The initiative is basedon five key areas: physi-cal fitness, inclusion, safe-ty, readiness and continu-um of service.

The physical fitnessumbrella covers nutritionand workout programs.Inclusion programs aimto increase diversity in theNavy. Safety programsare focused on things likemotorcycle safety andpreventing sexualassaults. Some of thegoals of the readiness pro-grams are to prevent sui-cides and curb alcoholand drug abuse. The con-tinuum of service pro-

grams offer differentpaths to serve theDepartment of the Navy(DoN) as an active-dutySailor, a reservist, or aDoN civilian.

Garcia also gave theaudience an update onpersonnel issues likeenlisted retention boards(ERB), the relief of com-manding officers, forcesize, tuition assistance,and compensation.

Garcia said the Navyhad to conduct ERBsbecause record retentionlevels led to severelyovermanned rates. Thesecretary said the chief ofnaval operations decidedto take a look across allpersonnel in the 31 most-overmanned rates. Theresult was that about2,900 Sailors were askedto transition to careersoutside of active dutyservice.

“This was designed asa one-time evolutiononly,” Garcia said. “Therewon’t be another ERBthis year. There won’t bean ERB next year. Noplans for an ERB again.”

Looking at the earlydata, Garcia said itappears as if the ERBshave worked as planned.He said advancementrates are up and approvedPerform to Serve applica-tions are up, too.

Navy Gateway Inns and Suites (WhitingField), by exceeding their shared contri-bution target by more than 38 percent inraising $2,080, setting an all new high incontributions for their employees.

Betty Wallin, CFC activity chairper-son Navy Gateway Inns and Suites, saidshe was surprised that her co-workersresponded so fast and generously. “Thisyear I really did not have to do much,they just responded to the call to action,”Wallin said.

With many others eagerly bringingawareness of the programs purpose totheir employees, Naval Air TechnicalTraining Center (NATTC) has taken the

most recognized, energetic approach ofthem all. Lead by CWO3 Ken Joubert,and assisted by ABEC Mark Monrealand handpicked departmental represen-tatives, they have made the personalcommitment as a command to ensureevery student is given an educatedopportunity in giving.

Joubert said it was not enough to makeit available; it was “our responsibilityand passion to educate the young menand women, who are our upcoming sup-porters, a clear understanding of the CFCprogram and our purpose in supportingnonprofits through this once a yeardrive.”

Joubert approached NATTCCommanding Officer, Capt. JamesDaniels, and recommended to set theirshared contribution target at $100,000,

even with the year prior reaching about$37,000.

“We can do better,” Joubert said. “Allwe have to do is educate our staff andstudents about the benefits CFC brings toso many in need.” With that,Capt.Daniels agreed and signed off ontheir challenge. “Even if we fall short ofthe $100,000 mark, knowing we did bet-ter than the prior year and knowing weinspired so many, it’s worth the time andenergy we will give the CFC program,”Joubert said.

Ron Denson, EscaRosa CFC director,is delighted with the strong programkickoff.

“We are blessed that we are able toassist and respond when called,” Densonsaid. “We may never know if the personwho is receiving services of these non-

profits is a friend, co-worker, or relative,but we do know that the help is therewhen needed.

“With the Combined FederalCampaign being the largest workplacecampaign, many of these nonprofits relyon our support and appreciate the contri-butions made year after year. Pleaseremember our motto, ‘Give a Little, Helpa Lot.’ ”

The theme promotes the benefits of a diverse work-force that includes workers with disabilities, who repre-sent a highly skilled talent pool.

“Employers who ensure that inclusive workplacepolicies and practices are woven into the fabric and cul-ture of the organization create an environment thatencourages all workers – including those of us with dis-abilities – to work to their full capacity and contributefully to the organization’s success,” said KathyMartinez, assistant secretary of labor for disabilityemployment policy.

Early announcement of the theme helps communitiesnationwide plan a series of announcements, events andmeetings to begin in October, some of which will contin-ue throughout the year. Such activities include proclama-tions, public awareness programs and job fairs that show-case the skills and talents of workers with disabilities.

As background, Public Law 176, enacted by Congressin 1945, designated the first week in October each year as“National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.”President Harry S. Truman designated the President’sCommittee on Employment of People with Disabilitiesto carry out the observance. In 1962, the word “physical-ly” was removed from the week’s name to acknowledgethe employment needs of all Americans with disabilities.In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and

changed its name to “National Disability AwarenessMonth,” which eventually evolved to its current name.The Labor Department’s Office of DisabilityEmployment Policy took over responsibility for NationalDisability Employment Awareness Month in 2001.

ODEP’s mission is to provide national leadership bydeveloping and influencing disability-related policies andpractices to increase the employment of people with dis-abilities.

October is National DisabilityEmployment Awareness Month

NEXs going ‘Navy Blue’ this holiday seasonBy Kristine M. SturkieNavy Exchange Service Command PAO

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., (NNS) –The Navy Exchange Service Command(NEXCOM) announced recently thatNEXs worldwide will be taking a newapproach to the holiday shopping seasonthis year.

NEXs will offer sales and specialsthroughout the holiday season beginningin early November instead of starting offthe holiday shopping season with a bigsale the day after Thanksgiving.

Also new this year, deployed Sailorswill be able to take advantage of holidayspecials by shopping online.

“For the 2012 holiday shopping sea-son, we have revised and refreshed ourapproach to the traditional ‘Black Friday’sales events. We are calling it ‘Navy Blue

Friday’ and will emphasize Navy corevalues, Navy family and preservingThanksgiving cultural values,” saidRobert J. Bianchi, chief executive officer,NEXCOM. “We will alsoprovide broader access toNEX sale items for afloatand deployed Sailors.”

NEX customers willstill find a wide varietyof holiday gifts on sale asthey have in the past.The prices on the itemsfor sale will last for the duration of thesale, not be limited to a certain day ortime period. NEX events will begin,worldwide, at 6 a.m. on Friday morning,featuring all-day Friday specials andadditional sale items will be availableacross the entire three-day weekend.

“We took this approach so customers

wouldn’t feel obligated to get up earlyand leave their families to go shoppingfor the holidays,” said Tess Paquette,NEXCOM senior vice president and

chief merchandisingofficer. “Beginning oursales earlier in the sea-son will allow our cus-tomers to better budgettheir holiday spendingby purchasing gifts overa longer period oftime.”
