WASHINGTON - The Base 5/6 Program(Middle Tier) on Joint Base Anacostia-Bol-ling (JBAB) recently held its annual mem-bership drive party at the Slip Inn Bar andGrill.

Service members ranked E-5 and E-6assigned to JBAB turned out for an after-noon of barbeque wings and chicken ten-ders, in addition to a spirited set of Irishmusic from the U.S. Air Force Band CelticAire.

Middle Tier members are integral inproviding assistance with a number of ac-tivities and programs around JBAB. Mem-bership is open to any service memberwith any branch of service – particularlythose looking to give back to the commu-nity.

“We have a goal of getting non-com-missioned officers (NCOs) more involvedin base functions,” said Air Force Staff Sgt.Andrew Winders, newly appointed presi-dent of the Middle Tier group and a mem-ber of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard.“There are many networking opportuni-ties and it’s a great way for individuals todevelop themselves.”

Assisting Winders with this year’smembership drive is the group’s vice-president, Tech. Sgt. Adam Green, whohas been a member of the U.S. Air ForceBand for 11 years and is another new faceto Middle Tier.

At one time, Green admits there wasvery little participation from fellow bandmembers – not because they weren’t in-terested, but because they weren’t awareof the group’s existence. He promises thatwill change this year.

“We’ve taken on the initiative of reach-ing out to members of the Air Force Band,since this is more or less a permanent dutystation for them,” Green said. “MiddleTier members want to help wherever wecan. We have a nucleus of people that canhelp with ceremonies, fundraisers andother functions on base. We’ll have fundoing it, too.”

The cost to join the group is $10 for aone-year membership; $15 for a two-yearmembership. The Middle Tier Council willhold its next meeting July 23 at BuildingP-20 in the 3rd floor conference room at2:30 p.m.

WASHINGTON - The Battle ofMidway hasbeen overshadowed throughout history, be-cause of its proximity on the calendar to an-other decisive battle of World War II: D-Day.As a result, in the beginning of June, militaryhistorians, veterans, and school children of-ten turn their focus to the European theaterof WW II.

Maybe it is eclipsed because the battlewas a naval one, and happened thousandsof miles from western civilization. You can’ttake a battlefield walk and retrace a soldier’ssteps. It took place at sea, and in the air. It isdifficult to get to Midway itself, and there isnot much to see once you do get there. How-ever, without the Battle of Midway, D-Daymight never have happened.

It was America’s finest hour in World WarII. We were the underdogs; something thathas come to define the American Hero. Somany of our national stories center on char-acters- real or fictional- that overcome diver-sity, or maybe personal tragedy, to triumphover a superior enemy due to hard work, de-termination and innovation. And of course, alittle luck never hurts. The Battle ofMidway isone of those stories.

In the spring of 1942, Japan was on a rollin the Pacific. It hopped from island to island,and spread across the Southeast Asian main-land, taking control of the region and its re-sources. However, althoughCongress had de-clared war on Japan on December 8, 1941, itdid not have the assets to take action againstsuch a formidable foe.

Further, and more importantly, PresidentRoosevelt had entered into an agreementwith Winston Churchill later in December,

which was spurred by Germany’s declarationof war on the United States on December11, 1941. The two nations decided to focuson the defeat of Nazi Germany before wor-rying about Japan’s advance across the Pa-cific. Roosevelt logically accepted this, andhe knew that securing the industrial base inEuropewould be vital to any Alliedwar effortsaround the world.

This met with mixed reviews throughoutthe U.S., because the sting of Pearl Harborwas still felt at home. So, although Rooseveltknew that the focus of effort had to be Eu-rope, he still had to keep an eye on the Pacific,and look for an opportunity to strike back atthe Japanese.

Midway was vital to the American navaleffort in the Pacific. It had been occupied by

NDW WATERLINE WRITER

WASHINGTON - Volunteersfrom around Naval District Wash-ington (NDW) joined in supportof this year’s Special OlympicsArmed Forces Day at CatholicUniversity in Washington, D.C.,May 22. The event was part of the2013 Special Olympics SummerGames in Washington, D.C.

The volunteers served in a va-riety of capacities, such as ath-lete escorts, field events umpires,award presenters, athlete stagingpersonnel, and finish line person-nel. In addition to volunteering insupport of the event, representa-tives from all five branches of themilitary and the VETSports orga-nization participated in the Spe-cial Olympics Armed Forces DayJoint Service 4x100 meter relay.

Each team consisted of two ac-tive duty military personnel andtwo Special Olympics athletes.Making up the Navy team wasCapt. Anthony Calandra, com-manding officer of Joint Base An-acostia-Bolling, NDW CommandMaster Chief Christopher Adams,and Special Olympians PerezPlater and Ryan Brown.

Each runner would sprint 100meters and pass a relay baton totheir teammate. Calandra beganthe race with a strong start beforepassing to Brown. Brown dashedthrough the second leg, pullingahead of the Marine Corps andArmy team members, before arunning handoff to Adams. Aftera mild collision with VETSportsrunner Connor Mallon, Adamsand Mallon righted themselveswith both pulling ahead of theMarines and into a brief lead overArmy, staying neck and neck withthe Coast Guard. In the fourthand final leg of the race, anchorrunner Plater took the baton from

Adams to catch up with the CoastGuard and Army’s final runners,bringing Navy to a bronze medalfinish in the relay.

“The Navy and the other mili-tary branches were well repre-sented by their volunteers andathletic participants,” said Ca-landra. “I hope the enthusiasmthey displayed made the gamesbetter for all the participants.”

The final standings wereVETSports in sixth place, AirForce in fifth, Marine Corps infourth, Navy in third, Army insecond, and Coast Guard in firstplace.

“Command Master Chief Ad-ams and I gave it our best todefend last year’s gold medalwin by the Navy, but our sisterservice did just a bit better andbeat us,” said Calandra. “It’s allin good fun, though, with goodsportsmanship and camaraderie.I’m happy that my fellow servicemembers and I were able to par-ticipate and do our part to helpensure that the Special Olympicsparticipants enjoyed the event.”

After the race, all participantswere recognized for their effort inthe event. For Brown and Plater,Adams had an additional awardto show his appreciation: NDWcommand master chief challengecoins. Palming each coin, Adamsshook both in to the hands of theSpecial Olympics athletes andthanked them for a job well done.

“I felt honored and proud to behere today,” said Adams. “I woulddo it again in a heartbeat! OliviaHunter, the NDW volunteer coor-dinator, asked me [to participate]and I accepted. And I will do mybest to encourage involvementnext year.”

Special Olympics is an inter-national organization that en-courages and empowers peoplewith intellectual disabilities, pro-

moting acceptance for all, andfostering communities of under-standing and respect worldwide.Founded in 1968 by Eunice Ken-nedy Shriver, the Special Olym-pics movement has grown froma few hundred athletes to morethan 4 million athletes in over170 countries in all regions ofthe world, providing year-roundsports training, athletic competi-tion and other related programs.

Naval District Washington Command Master Chief Christopher Adams runs the third leg of the Special OlympicsJoint Service 4x100 meter relay at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., May 22. Representatives and volun-teers from all five branches of the military and the VETSports organization participated in the event as part ofthe 2013 Special Olympics Armed Forces Day.

Americans since the early twenti-eth century, and in the build-up toWorld War II in the Pacific, the U.S.military had established a signifi-cant presence on the island. It hadair strips, gun emplacements anda sea plane base; the channel hadbeen widened, and it was a vital re-supply point for naval vessels andsubmarines.

Midway was second only toPearl Harbor in its importance tothe U.S. Navy. The Japanese knewthis, and had also attacked Midwaywhen it bombed Pearl Harbor onDec. 7, 1941. The U.S. Marines sta-tioned on Midway at the time wereable to successfully repel the Japa-nese attack.

The Japanese attacked Midwayagain in February 1942, this timewith a submarine bombardment.The islands had been reinforcedwith additional guns and person-nel, and again, successfully coun-

tered the Japanese attack.It was no secret that the Japa-

nese saw this island as a key pieceof America’s strategy in the Pacific.However, Japanese operationalplans-and more importantly, thecode used by the Japanese Navy tosend messages-was a secret. TheUnited States had been trying tobreak the Japanese code, but it wasproving to be difficult.

In the spring of 1942, Americancryptanalysts had broken the Japa-nese naval code, referred to as JN-25. There was still some disagree-ment between cryptanalysts inWashington, D.C. and those in Ha-waii, about the location of the im-pending Japanese attack, becauseof the complexity of the code. But afalse message sent from Midway toPacific Fleet HQ led to the confir-mation that the Japanese intendedto attack Midway.

With this knowledge, and thedecoded operational plans of theJapanese Navy, the U.S. PacificFleet prepared to meet, and coun-ter, the Japanese Navy in the waterssurrounding Midway.

The American Navy was truly in-ferior to that of the Japanese at thispoint. They were out-numbered,and out-gunned. American tor-pedoes- vital to naval battle at thetime- were mediocre when com-pared to those of the Japanese.

But knowledge really was powerin this instance. Admiral Nimitz

was able to review the Japanesebattle plan, and determined thatit was flawed. Japanese AdmiralYamamoto had spread his forcestoo thin, into four separate taskgroups. As a result, the Americanswould have parity with the taskgroup conducting the main assaultbecause the other Japanese units

would be too far away to effectivelysupport the Japanese carrier fleet.

The U.S. Navy was the underdogthat day. And it prevailed becauseof the ingenuity and hard work ofU.S. code breakers, as well as thedetermination to capitalize on atactical advantage. The Battle ofMidway is our national Cinderellastory. Or Rocky. You choose.

As a result, the Japanese Navywas destroyed. President Roos-evelt was able to bring a victory tothe American people, and enjoyunyielding popular support to takethe fight to the Nazis in Europewithout delay.

On Tuesday June 4, the Navywill celebrate the 71st anniversaryof the Battle of Midway at the U.S.Navy Memorial, located at 701Pennsylvania Ave, NW, in Wash-ington DC. The ceremony starts at0900 and the uniform will be Sum-mer White (E-7 and above) and Ser-vice Dress White (E-6 and below).Come be part of the “Sea of White.”

U.S. AIR FORCE BAND

WASHINGTON - “Cello...in aconcert band?” That was the firstquestion that came to mind forTechnical Sgt. Edward Prevostas he decided to audition for aposition with The U.S. Air ForceBand in the Spring of 2012. Evenafter winning the audition, “I stilldidn’t fully understand what I wasgetting into,” he says.

Prevost, a native of Manas-sas, Va., is now the principal cel-list with the Concert Band. Whileattending Osbourn Park HighSchool in Manassas, Prevost wasaccepted to the National Sym-phony Orchestra’s Youth Fellow-ship Program. In this prestigiousprogram, young musicians areafforded the opportunity to takepart in joint rehearsals with thesymphony and study with mem-bers of the orchestra. One ofPrevost’s principal teachers, cel-list Loran Stephenson, is an NSOmember.

Following high school, Prevostcontinued his cello studies at thePeabody Institute of Music in Bal-timore, earning a Bachelor of Mu-sic Performance degree in 2008.He then traveled to Bloomington,Ind., where in 2012 he earneda Music Performance diploma

from Indiana University’s JacobsSchool of Music and studied withEric Kim, former principal cel-list of the Cincinnati Symphony.Prior to joining the U.S. Air Force,Prevost was the principal cellistof the Columbus PhilharmonicOrchestra.

As one of only two cellos in theConcert Band, Prevost continues aU.S. Air Force Band tradition start-ed by Colonel George S. Howard,commander and conductor of theBand from 1944-1963. Howard,who wanted to bring the warm,rich cello sound to his concertband, added four cellos to the en-semble. In today’s group, Prevostis often called upon to play thecello solos in orchestral transcrip-tions, which is a unique feature ofthe Concert Band. “Normally, theeuphoniums would cover the cellosolos in a concert band orchestraltranscription,” says Prevost.

Before Prevost auditioned forThe U.S. Air Force Band, he wasnot aware of the long history ofcellos in the group, leading to hisconfusion about what this posi-tion entailed. Now, however, heis tasked with keeping this uniqueposition alive, and using his ex-tensive talents to preserve thistradition, displaying Air Force ex-cellence with each and every per-formance.
