Six weeks of induction led to a ceremony Sept. 16 in the Windjammer ballroom,

where four Sailors assumed the rank of Chief Petty Officer during a traditional Chief Petty Officer pinning ceremony.

The induction period included physical and mental training that prepared the Chiefs for their new role in the Navy.

“We met some challenges, but with the help of the Chief Petty Officers here in GTMO

and each other, we managed to meet the challenges in stride, and succeed,” said Chief Hospital

Corpsman Leonardo Valentin from the Naval Hospital.

The new chiefs said teamwork played a crucial part in their success through induction.

“We realized teamwork and making decisions is something in the mess that all of us have to do together,” said Chief Master-at-Arms Maurice Stigger. “We discuss our issues inside the mess, and when we come out, we’re one voice. That’s huge for our Sailors.”

At the ceremony, Navy Capt. Steven H. Blaisdell, commanding officer of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, spoke to the new Chiefs about their successes.

“Each of you has been raised well and trained well,” said Blaisdell. “You shouldn’t be daunted by what lies ahead of you.”

Blaisdell said the Chiefs should be honored by their new place in the Navy.

“Senior enlisted are the salt of the earth,” said Blaisdell.

“You are the technical experts we rely on,” said Blaisdell. “Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this important ceremony.”

The new Chiefs, Chief Hospital Corpsman Valentin Leonardo, Chief Master-At-Arms Maurice Stigger, Chief Aviation Maintenance Administrationmen Ligia Velazquez, and Chief Avaition Electronics Technician Dale Vines, sing “Anchors Aweigh” after being pinned and covered Sept. 16 at the Windjammer Ballroom during the Chief Petty Officer Pinning Ceremony.

Parents using Naval Station Guantanamo Bay’s Child Development Center had

the opportunity to spend time with their children's caretakers at an open house Sept. 13.

During the open house, parents and caretakers discussed subjects such as part-time care needs, the Child Development Home expansion and the new fee policy.

"The open house is a chance for parents and the [Child and Youth Program] staff to get better acquainted," said Karen Simon, the director of the CDC. "It's also a time for parents to get a feel for what their child’s day is like."

Children’s days at the CDC consist of a well-balanced curriculum including arts and crafts, outdoor time, and care giver-to-child growth and development techniques.

"It gives us an opportunity to talk to the teachers and see all the other parents and kids,” said Paige Durrett. "I think it's a great."

For Durrett, the open house allowed her to opportunity to talk with caregivers for more than her morning and afternoon routine

would normally allow."We don't have a lot of

opportunities to do that, because in the morning we are trying to get the kids in and go to work," she said. "This gives me the opportunity to know [the caretaker] a little better and have those stories on our kids that they share with us."

Parents also had the opportunity to meet other personnel involved with their children's education and well-being.

"We had a successful turn out and were able to introduce some of our new folks to our parents, our School Liaison Officer and our Military Family Life Consultant," Simon said.

Simon said the CDC was able to provide parents with specifics

about curriculum, affiliate programs and resources the CDC makes available to Guantanamo Bay families.

“I hope parents understand just how hard our CYP staff works and how much we enjoy having their children spend the day with us," said Simon.

For more information on the Child and Youth Programs or the Child Development Center, call 3664.

While last Satur-day the country mourned and

remembered what hap-pened on Sept. 11, 2001, its memory still lingers on as the images continue to float

through our minds. May you take a little time even now to pray for those who have lost so much in the tragic events.

Below is a poem that marks this special occasion:

“We Will Never Forget September 11, 2001”Carol Ann Smith

The day was calm, the sky was blue, The sun was high up in the sky, Without a warning, without a clue, America now would start to cry. The shock and horror of that day, Will never leave our minds, We cling together as we pray, To leave all this behind. As Americans, we all know, That we can never forget, This terrible time of grief and woe, But still we have respect. Respect for our country, respect for our life, Will be so important today, We must remember through this strife, To bow our heads and pray. To pray for unity, to pray alone, To light our candles along the way To look up where the flames have flown, GOD BLESS THE USA!

corpsmen] at the hospital and our Intel department at the Naval Station will benefit the most from this,” said Saffle.

Sailors should re-enlist early to take advantage of the SRB as soon as the eligibility requirements for that Sailor are met.

Additionally, Sailors can request to re-enlist early for an SRB, as long as their end of active obligated service is within the current fiscal year and no later than 90 days from the requested re-enlistment date.

“If a Sailor is interested in re-enlisting for an SRB or interested in re-enlisting at all, they don’t need to hesitate to come to the command career counselor’s office or go to their divisional or departmental career counselor,” said Saffle. “That way, they can get the most

SRB, from page 1 up-to-date information as possible.”It is important for Sailors considering

re-enlistment for an SRB in fiscal year 2011 to check with his chain of command, command career counselor or departmental career couneslor as soon as possible.

“The required paperwork must be completed correctly and in a timely manner

to be processed so Sailors can take advantage of the bonus,” said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, director of personnel plans and policy. “As re-enlistment goals for particular skills are achieved, SRB award levels for those skills

will be removed from the plan.” For more information, contact your

chain of command, your departmental career counselor, or call the Naval Station career counselor’s office at 4488.

Remembering 9/11Absentee voting: easier than you thinkBy Terence R. Peck

On Nov. 2, U.S. citizens all over the country and those living overseas will be making their voices heard

when they vote during the congressional elections.

To make the voting easier for Americans living out of the country, Congress passed the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) in 1986.

United States citizens covered by the UOCAVA include members of the United States Uniformed Services and merchant marine; their family members; and U.S. citizens residing outside the United States.

The Act requires that the states and territories allow citizens covered by the UOCAVA to register and vote absentee in elections and Federal offices.

Qualified service members and overseas citizens can use a form called the Federal Post Card Application to register to vote and request an absentee ballot simultaneously.

Federal Post Card Applications are available

online on the Federal Voting Assistance Program site at http://www.fvap.gov/.

For voters who made a timely application for their ballots, but have not received them from their state or territory, the Federal Write-in Absentee ballot acts as a backup and can be also found on the FVAP site.

Once military personnel in APO/FPO locations and Americans abroad receive their ballots, they can use the U.S. Post Office’s Express Mail, using Label 11-DOD to send them back. The label enables overseas voters to quickly return their ballots to the states at no cost.

In addition, the labels allow voters to track their ballots online. The labels can be obtained at the Naval Station’s Military Post Office.

Voters seeking information on absentee ballots concerning specific states can go to Vote411.org. The website is a “one-stop-shop” for election related information, according to the League of Women Voters Education Fund, the organization that created the site.

“It is important that those who have not submitted their absentee ballots do so today,” said Lt. Matthew Leware, Naval Station GTMO’s Voting Officer. “Not exercising your right to vote is like standing on the sidelines and letting other people determine your future.”

For more information, contact Leware at 4388 or by email: [email protected]

THE FIGHTING

Marines use martial arts as a method to perfect their hand-to-hand combat skills.Story and photos by Terence R. Peck

Fifty Marines with 6th Platoon, Bravo Company, Marine Corps Security Force Regiment honed their fighting skills during Marine Corps Martial Arts training Sep. 14 at Marine Hill.

The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program consists of a belt ranking system that begins at Tan Belt and progresses up to 6th Degree Black Belt.

The Marines from 6th Platoon, Bravo Co., Marine Corps Force Regiment, attached to Marine Corps Security Force Company while aboard the Naval Station, were training to obtain their Green belt, which is the third belt level.

To obtain the Green belt, the Marines must complete 21 hours of training that includes lessons such as bayonet techniques and stresses of combat; knife techniques and combat leadership; and making ethical and moral decisions.

During the training, the Marines focused on “non-lethal baton” and “weapons of opportunity” techniques.

“MCMAP may not be as fancy as other martial arts, however all of the techniques developed for the program can be executed with a full combat load on which is more important to us,” said 1st Lt. Travis D Posey, 6th Plt., Bravo Co., Platoon Commander and Brown Belt MCMAP Instructor. “The warrior ethos portion of the program is meant to be a constant reminder to the Marines that we have along lineage to uphold.”

After completing the non-lethal baton and weapons of opportunity training, the Marines began what is called “ground fighting.”

“The Marines are taught a variety of basic positions, techniques, and counters per MCMAP guidelines,” Posey said. “All of the fights are closely monitored by a Martial Arts Instructor or Instructor Trainer.”

According to Posey, the fights not only serve to reinforce the techniques they have been taught, but more importantly build a mental and physical toughness.

“The fights teach Marines how to get out of the uncomfortable situations without giving up,” Posey said. “For example, a Marine might have an arm around his throat, but he is not being choked out, he is merely in an uncomfortable situation.”
