GTMO Celebrates U.S. Navy’s 236th Birthday

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hosted the Navy Ball in the Windjammer Ballroom, to cel-

ebrate the U.S. Navy’s 236th birthday, Oct 15. The guest of honor for the ball, attended by 236

guests, was Vice Adm Michael C. Vitale, Commander Navy Installations Command.

“He challenged us during the ceremony by asking the audience some trivia questions during his speech.” said Capt. Kirk Hibbert, the commanding officer for Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

One of the highlights of the ball was the ceremonial setting of the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) table which honors service members who were taken prisoner or missing during war.

“Much of the feedback received about the Navy Ball

concluded that the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action table was the highlight of the event,” said CMDCM J.D. McKinney, the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s Command Master Chief. “I had never actually seen the POW/MIA table executed, as in most cases the memo-rial is set up prior to the event.”

The Navy’s birthday celebration was organized by the naval station’s Navy Ball Committee.

“I would like to send out a Bravo Zulu to the 2011 Navy Ball Committee,” said McKinney. “This was a ‘home-grown’ event that the committee began to or-ganize in March. The committees organized all of the fundraisers for the ball and were responsible to work out all of the details for the event.”

“The set-up for the Navy Ball was incredible,” said Hibbert. “The Navy Ball Committee came up with so many great ideas for the event which was fabulous.”

To operate your air conditioner unit more efficiently, turn on your ceiling fans. These fans create air movement across the skin, lowering skin temperature through evaporation. The homeowner can thus raise the air condi-tioning thermostat setting up to 4 degrees F without any decrease in comfort. Each degree you raise the thermostat above 78 degrees F you save about 7 to 8 percent on your electric cooling costs.

Transition Training Offered by GTMO’s FFSC

The Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s Fleet and Family Support

Center (FFSC) is offering pre-separation counseling and a job search class.

The training programs are designed to assist service members transitioning to the civilian workforce with obtaining employ-ment.

“The pre-separation counseling will of-fer personnel insight on what they can ex-pect as they end their military service and addresses concerns that transitioning fam-ilies may have,” said CMDCM J.D. McK-inney, Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s Command Master Chief. “Spouses are welcome and encouraged to attend this training.”

The pre-separation counseling is being held the 3rd Thursday of each month at 9 a.m. in the Bulkeley Hall auditorium.

“The FFSC is holding a job search class on Oct. 25 which will be a training session that specializes finding civilian employ-ment,” said McKinney. “Participants will be offered methods for job searching in to-day’s competitive job market.

The job search class will begin at 1 p.m. in the FFSC building.

“This type of training is very important for transitioning service members,” said McKinney. “The old methods of finding civilian employment are not nearly as ef-fective as they once were. This training is designed to give service members a head start in finding a job.”

For morning information about these training opportunities, please contact the Fleet and Family Support Center at 4141 or .4153

The Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s Navy Ex-change (NEX) and Moral, Welfare and Recreation

With the summer like weather year round and the slower driving speeds, there comes a natural increase of children playing outside. During any time of the year

you can see children of all ages riding bicycles, skateboarding, using roller blades and scooters. As with any sport comes risk. However, purchasing and properly wearing a helmet can reduce some of the risk.

There are helmets for all types of sports, in addition to those above; helmets can also be purchased for horseback riding, motor-cycle riding, skiing, in-line hockey and snowboarding. For any sport that can cause head trauma there is a helmet for it. Unfortunately, most children and a lot of adults do not know how to use helmets properly. Either the wrong helmet for the sport is purchased or as in most cases the helmet is used improperly. A helmet used improp-erly will not provide any protection against head injury.

Sa F E T y D E Pa r T M E n T D i D -y a - K n o wThe leading fault is the helmet not properly fastened under the

chin. The strap is either to loose, not fasented at all or fastened on top of the helmet. If the helmet is fastened in one of these ways and a fall occurs there is a good chance of the helmet coming off and head trauma occurring.

Before using a helmet, read the instruction booklet. The attitude that “it’s only a helmet I can put it on” can cause you or your chil-dren needless pain and aggravation.

OPNAVINST 5100.25 (series) mandates that anyone riding a bicycle, skateboard, roller blades including dependants will wear helmets approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or Certified by Snell Memorial Foundation. The Naval Safety Center highly recommends that helmets be worn in any sport that has the chance of head trauma.

Snell Memorial Foundation www.snf.org has all the information.

Personnel attached to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba participat-

ed in the physical fitness portion of the Fall Physical Fitness Assessment(PFA), Oct. 17-21.

The PFA is conducted Navy-wide, twice a year, to evaluate U.S. Navy Sail-ors’ physical readiness.

“The navy holds bi-annual PFA’s to have sailors maintain a level of physi-cal fitness required to support overall mission readiness,” said Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Lisa Alkire, a naval sta-tion assistant command fitness leader. “The PFA includes a medical screening, a body composition assessment (BCA) and physical readiness test.”

Approximately 75 Sailors attached to NS Guantanamo participated in the Fall PFA.

The PFA comprises of sit-ups, push-ups and a cardio portion, which in-cludes the bike, swim, elliptical, or regular 1.5 mile run,” said Alkire. “The naval station conducted the run portion of the PFA at Cooper Field all week.”

Sailors who do not perform to Navy physical fitness standards for the bi-an-nual PFAs face consequences.

“Sailors who do not pass the PFA will be required to participate in the com-mand fitness enhancement program (FEP) until they can score a good or higher in all categories in the next regu-

lar PFA,” said Alkire. “They will also receive a page 13 and it will be noted on their periodic evaluations.”

In addition to records entries and mandatory FEP attendance, a Sailor’s advancement can be affected.

“Members will have frocking or ad-vancement deferred, and if they are not within standards by promotion cycle limiting date, the advancement authori-ty will be withdrawn,” said Alkire. “If a sailor fails three PFA’s in a 4 year period they will be admin separated, or not al-lowed to reenlist or extend.”

Alkire recommended that sailors maintain high levels of physical fitness throughout the year and prepare early for the PFA.

“Prepare early and don’t decide to do one of the alternate cardio options un-less you have practiced. We have a lot of sailors try the elliptical and end up failing because they have not prepared enough,” said Alkire.

The naval station conducts command physical training sessions each Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday at Cooper Field at 7 a.m.

We do a series of workouts that in-clude circuit training, running, and some water based workouts,” said Al-kire. “Our Wednesday workouts are fa-cilitated by a Moral Welfare and Recre-ation fitness trainer.”

Navy Ball • from cover

Although the event was a Navy ball, mili-tary personnel across the different branch-es attended.

“One of the things that stood out about GTMO’s Navy ball was that the attendees weren’t just sailors,” said Hibbert, “We had the naval station’s entire ‘joint’ environ-ment at the event including members of all military branches, spouses, civilian de-fense contractors and government service employees.”

The event began with a social hour which was followed by a formal ceremony and ca-tered dinner.

“The food was wonderful, the crowd was great and the ceremony was terrific,” said Tara Culbertson, the naval station’s Moral, Welfare and Recreation director.

After the formal ceremony, the audience was entertained with live music performed by Golden Monkey a local, MWR spon-sored band.

New Ombudsmen Appointed at GTMO

Find us on Facebookwww.facebook.com/NSGuantanamoBay

Three new Ombudsmen were ap-pointed at a pinning ceremony

at the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC), Oct 18.

The ceremony recognized the appoin-tees’ completion of all prerequisites to become Ombudsmen.

“An Ombudsman is a designated liai-son between the command and military families,” said Kathy Selves, the direc-tor of the naval station’s FFSC. “Their job is to facilitate communication and provide command and family informa-tion to both parties and facilitating the connection.”

Ombudsmen are responsible for main-taining current contact information of command personnel and ensuring that information and open communication between the command and families is available.

“We have 2 new ombudsmen for the naval station and 1 for the base hospi-tal,” said Selves. “Lisa Pecci, the senior ombudsman at the naval station, has ex-perience from a prior command. Adam Oliver and Casey Kearns are both new to the program.”

Lisa Pecci and Casey Kearns are om-budsmen for NS Guantanamo while Adam Oliver is responsible for the USNH Guantanamo.

“All Navy ombudsmen receive twen-ty-four hours of standardized training so that they are all prepared the same way,’” said Selves. “They are required to pass the ‘Ombudsman Basic Training Course.”

Ombudsmen also receive annual ad-vanced training on a wide range of

topics such as disaster assistance and understanding privacy concerns, said Selves.
