DoD releases 2015 military
pay and compensation rates
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Today, the Department of Defense
announced the 2015 military pay
and compensation rates for service members, with most service
members receiving a one percent
increase in basic pay.
The new rates for basic pay,
basic allowance for housing, basic
allowance for subsistence, and the
cost of living allowance rates for
the contiguous United States will
take effect on Jan. 1, 2015.
Basic pay for service members
will increase one percent, except
for general and flag officers who
will not see an increase in 2015.
For example, an E-4 with 3 years
of service will see an increase in
basic pay of $22.20 per month,
while an O-3 with 6 years of
service will receive a basic pay
increase of $54.30 per month in
2015.
Basic allowance for housing
rates for service members in 2015
will increase on average $17 per
month, or 0.5 percent. Rates are
calculated using median current
market rent and average utilities
(including electricity, heat, and water/sewer) for each pay grade, both
with and without dependents. Two
changes were made to BAH rate
computations for 2015: renter’s
insurance, which contributed an
average of one percent to rates,
was eliminated, and the Fiscal Year
2015 National Defense Authorization Act reduced housing rates on
average one percent for service
members.
However, individual rate protection for service members remains an integral part of the BAH
program. This means that even
if BAH rates decline - including
through the elimination of renter’s
insurance and the reduction in the
calculated rate - a service member
who maintains uninterrupted BAH
eligibility in a given location
will not see a rate decrease. This
ensures that service members
who have made long-term commitments in the form of a lease or
contract are not penalized if local
housing costs decrease.
Service members can calculate
their BAH payment by using the
basic allowance for housing calculator here.
The 2015 basic allowance for
subsistence rates for military members will increase by 2.9 percent
over last year. The new rates are:
* $367.92 per month for enlisted members
* $253.38 per month for officers
The annual adjustments to basic
allowance for subsistence -- a
monthly nontaxable cash payment
to military members intended to be
used to buy food -- are linked to
changes in food prices as measured
by the annual change in the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Cost of
Food at Home Index. From the beginning of October 2013 through
the end of September 2014, the
index rose by 2.9 percent, forming the basis for the increased
BAS rates.

‘Iron Nickel’ to return to
San Diego for final time
by MC3 Dustin Knight
SAN DIEGO - In time for her crew to celebrate the holidays at
home, USS Peleliu (LHA 5) returned to Naval Base San Diego Dec.
24 from a six-month deployment to the Western Pacific.
The ship will now make preparations to decommission in March
after 34 years of service, 17 deployments and more than a million
miles transited, and as the last remaining Tarawa-class amphibious
assault ship.
During the ship’s deployment Peleliu, its crew, Commander, Amphibious Squadron Three, Special Purpose Marine Task Force Three
and Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 21 participated in Rim
of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2014 as part of U.S. 3rd Fleet. Upon assignment to 7th Fleet, the ship embarked Commander, Amphibious
Force Seventh Fleet, Commander, Amphibious Squadron 11 and 31st
Marine Expeditionary Unit and joined USS Germantown (LSD 42)
to form the Peleliu Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG).
While deployed, the ARG conducted security and stability operations and exercises throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region to
include Amphibious Landing Exercise (PHIBLEX) 15 and other
maritime cooperation exercises with partner nations.

Dempsey praises troops’
achievements in year-end message
by Nick Simeone
WASHINGTON - The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said
2014 was an extraordinarily busy year full of new threats and missions in which service members performed “superbly,” but he warned
that sequester-related budget cuts have brought the military to the
point where “we can’t do more with less.”
In a year-end message to the joint force, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey
told the more than two million active and reserve members of the
armed forces that he “couldn’t be prouder” of their service.
“In the past 12 months, we’ve maintained our enduring commitments around the world, bolstered long-term partnerships, and
responded to new threats,” including those, Dempsey said, from
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, al-Qaida and other violent
extremist groups. In addition, Dempsey said the military has reassured allies in the face of threats by Russia and deployed personnel
to West Africa to help stop the spread of the world’s worst outbreak
of Ebola.
Having just completed a USO holiday tour of Europe and Afghanistan, Dempsey praised the service and sacrifices made by U.S.
troops, saying what has been achieved in Afghanistan has given the
Afghan people “real hope for a better future” - just days before the
NATO mission there changes from one of combat to advising and
assisting Afghan forces.
“Our stop at Bagram Air Base reaffirmed my confidence in our
campaign plan in Afghanistan. While work remains, my regular
visits reinforce just how much we have accomplished in 13 years
of U.S. and coalition investment,” Dempsey said. “As we move
forward with Operation Resolute Support, our remaining force of
about 10,000 troops will be important to completing key tasks with
our Afghan partners.”
But Dempsey also warned national security could be at risk if
the current sequestration law, which is set to impose further cuts in
defense spending in 2016, is not repealed. “Sequestration, if fully
implemented, will diminish our advantages over our adversaries,”
he said, and he urged Congress to allow the Pentagon greater flexibility in spending.

Top 5 Navy people stories of 2014
WASHINGTON - During the
past 12 months, there have been
a number of noteworthy policy
changes and updates to improve
quality of life and service. Many
of the ideas came directly from
Sailor feedback or suggestions.
Please keep the ideas coming, as
we seek to make 2015 as busy
and productive.
Below is our People Top Five
for 2014:
1. Navy increases Career Sea
Pay (CSP) and Career Sea Pay
Premium (CSP-P)
The increase to CSP and CSPP both helped improves critical
sea-duty manning and rewards
those who take challenging seagoing assignments. This was one
of the many policies that helped
drive our gaps at sea number to
below 5000--the lowest it’s been
in more than 3 years.
All pay grades with at least
three years of cumulative sea
duty received a 25 percent increase in regular CSP, while
service members who exceed
36-months of consecutive sea
duty received an increase in
CSP-P from $100 to $200 per
month.
1.
The increase took effect May
2. Revised Final Multiple
Score (FMS) announced
Responding to suggestions
from the Fleet and MCPON’s
Leadership Mess, Navy updated
the Final Multiple Score (FMS),
the weighted formula used to select Sailors for advancement.
The new formula rewards
sustained superior performance
and increases the role of the
command triad in the advancement process.
Changes to the formulation
were made to achieve the right
balance between technical skill
proficiency, as measured by the
test, and on the job performance
as gauged by chain of command
input through the evaluation process. It also places less emphasis
on longevity-based elements.
3. CAP policy updated
The Command Advancement Program (CAP) and Navy
Recruiter Meritorious Advancement Program (NRMAP) were
updated in May after several
months of coordination with
the Fleet.
Hagel welcomes Defense
Authorization Act
WASHINGTON - Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel welcomed the fiscal year 2015
National Defense Authorization
Act in a statement issued Dec.
19, but he called on Congress
to work with the department on
several fronts.

health. Last year more than half
of the CAP slots went unused.
The goal for the new policy is
to have each command utilize
all of its allotted CAPs, ensuring
that our most talented Sailors are
advanced.
CAP and NRMAP are intended to reward sustained superior
performance, providing command triads the opportunity to
advance their top Sailors prior
to taking the exam.
4. Optional wear of Command Ball Caps authorized
Beginning Sept. 1, Optional
wear of the Navy and command
ball caps with Navy Working
Uniforms (NSU) (Type I, II
and III) as well as with flight
suits, coveralls, Flame Resistant
Variant (FRV) coveralls and the
Navy physical training uniform
is authorized.
The new policy established a
CAP season from July 1 to Sept.
30 to better track the CAP program and ensure overall rating
Based on feedback from the
Fleet, Secretary of the Navy
Ray Mabus and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan
Greenert made the decision back
in July to expand the ball cap
wear policy.
5. Hair Policies for women
revised
After a yearlong review of hair
style policy for women, Navy
released an update providing
clearer guidance on what is and
isn’t allowed and authorizing a
slightly broader range of acceptable hairstyles, while continuing
to emphasize the need for a neat
and professional appearance.
The Navy’s review and new
standards take into account the
wide range and textures of hair,
including curled, wavy and
straight hair. The new regulations provide guidance on hair
styles, hair coloring, wigs, and
hair accessories for women.
To help communicate the new
policy and answer questions a
smart device compatible hair
viewer was introduced.
“I remain concerned that
Congress continues to prevent
the Defense Department from
pursuing many cost-savings
measures that are essential to
fielding a ready and capable
force to meet today’s challenges
and prepare for tomorrow’s
threats,” Hagel said.
The secretary noted that sequestration remains law. The
budget mechanism that enacts
across-the-board government
spending cuts threatens the
defense budget as well. Hagel
warned that “if Congress allows
sequestration to return in 2016,
it will damage our military’s
readiness and threaten our ability
to execute our nation’s defense
strategy.”
The full text of the secretary’s
statement follows:
I want to thank members of
Congress - and particularly the
chairmen of the Senate and
House Armed Services committees, Carl Levin and Buck
McKeon - for their bipartisan
work to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for
the 53rd consecutive year. The
fiscal year 2015 NDAA extends
critical pay and benefits for our

to eliminate sexual assault in
the military; and authorizes
critical funding for operations
to reinforce our NATO allies
and European partners in the
face of Russia’s aggression, and
to fight the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant in the Middle
East - including the training and
equipping of moderate Syrian
opposition forces to combat ISIL
on the ground.
However, I remain concerned
that Congress continues to prevent the Defense Department
from pursuing many cost-savings measures that are essential
to fielding a ready and capable
force to meet today’s challenges
and prepare for tomorrow’s
threats. We also need more predictable budgets.
Sequestration remains the
law of the land, and if Congress
allows sequestration to return
in 2016, it will damage our military’s readiness and threaten our
ability to execute our nation’s
defense strategy.
The longer we defer tough
choices, the more difficult they
will become down the road.
Congress must partner with DoD
leaders in the new year to provide our military with the budget
flexibility and predictability it
needs, and the resources that
our men and women in uniform
deserve.
NORAD tunes up
santa-tracking system
by Claudette Roulo
The North American Aerospace Defense Command has
informed DoD that every indication is that Santa Claus will
arrive on time this year to deliver
presents to the world’s estimated
1.9 billion children, Pentagon
Press Secretary Rear Adm. John
Kirby said Dec. 19.
NORAD is tuning up the
Santa-tracking system, a joint
U.S.-Canadian effort to ensure Santa’s annual worldwide
Christmas Eve journey goes
smoothly. The NORAD Tracks
Santa website is counting down
the days, hours, minutes and
seconds until Santa departs on
his flying-reindeer-powered
global flight.
“In the cyber domain, they
tell me that their anti-Grinch
firewall is up and monitoring
for threats, and they are confident that the AGFW ... can
defeat any malicious attacks,”
the admiral told reporters at the
Pentagon.
In the land domain, NORAD
has verified the load-bearing
capacity of all rooftops that the
reindeer will land on, he said.
“In the maritime domain,
they say that Aegis radars are
calibrated to track Santa and
ships are standing by to conduct
any lost gift rescue operations, if
necessary,” said Kirby.

As 2014 draws to a close, we
begin to focus on some of the
important strides forward the
Surface Force will make in the
coming year, specifically the
commissioning and initial operational testing of the USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), the first of the
three ship Zumwalt class. USS
Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001)
and USS Lyndon B. Johnson
(DDG 1002), will join the fleet
in 2018 and 2021, providing
the Navy with the world’s most
sophisticated destroyers.
Earlier this year, the christening of the Zumwalt captured the
imagination of the American
public, as it saw for the first
time the distinctive, powerful
shape of this futuristic warship
bristling with new technologies
and capabilities designed to
influence world events and sail
American naval power where it
matters, when it matters. DDG
1000 will provide sea control
and power projections options
that will help protect and sustain
our national interests, assure
friends and allies, and dissuade
potential adversaries.
The first thing one notices
about this ship is its shape. Its
tumblehome hull is designed to
pierce through oncoming waves,
rather than ride atop them. The
second thing is its size and its
distinct lack of sharp angles
and protrusions creating a radar
image significantly smaller
than the DDG 51 class, though
the ship is half again as large at
14,000 tons.
Internally, the heart of this
ship is an innovative electric
drive system in which four massive gas turbine engines provide
all the power this ship needs for
propulsion and the advanced
weapons systems.
Rated at a total of 78 megawatts of power, the equivalent
to the power needed to serve
47,000 average U.S. homes, it
creates the conditions necessary
for the future seamless integration of forthcoming weapons
such as the electromagnetic RailGun and high-energy lasers.
Ringing the main deck are
four, 20-cell Peripheral Vertical
Launch Systems, each of which
will accommodate a range of
advanced missiles to be used
against air, surface, subsurface
and land targets. A next generation of bow mounted, dual
In support of amphibious
forces and land attack missions,
DDG 1000 will add a new range
and depth of fires to expeditionary power projection, and will be
a strong complement to F-35B’s

The technology this ship
brings to the Fleet is impressive,

moves steadily toward joining
the Fleet.
Davidson assumes command of U. S. Fleet Forces
NORFOLK - Adm. Phil Davidson assumed command of
U.S. Fleet Forces Command
(USFF), Dec. 19, following
his promotion to the rank of
Admiral.
The small ceremony was officiated via teleconference by
Adm. Bill Gortney, commander
of U.S. Northern Command
and North American Aerospace
Defense Command in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. Gortney was
relieved as the commander of
U.S. Fleet Forces Command,
Nov. 21.
The acting commander, Vice
Adm. Nora W. Tyson, returns to
her duties as the USFF deputy
commander.
Davidson, a surface warfare
officer and a 1982 graduate of
the U.S. Naval Academy, has
served in a variety of command
positions, including most recently as commander, U.S. 6th
Fleet and commander, Naval
Striking and Support Forces
NATO, as well as deputy commander, U.S. Naval Forces
Europe and U.S. Navy Forces
Africa.
His previous assignments as
a flag officer in Norfolk include
duties as the director of Maritime
Operations, U.S. Fleet Forces
from February 2012 to September 2013, and command of Carrier Strike Group Eight/Eisenhower Strike Group from August
2009 to September 2010.
In his remarks Davidson
outlined his vision for Fleet
Forces Command and thanked
his predecessor, Gortney, for
having framed the organizing
principles, the analytical underpinnings, and the fleet processes
that generate fleet readiness.
“We will continue the great
work that began here,” said Da-

vidson. “The absolute mandate,
indeed the mission of the United
States Fleet Forces Command,
is to make the Fleet ready to
fight and win - both today and
tomorrow.”
He added, “It is our job now
to deepen our understanding
of the Readiness Kill Chain, to
implement the Optimized Fleet
Response Plan, and to improve our ability to generate
force readiness and develop
force warfighting capability in the rapidly evolving
global environment. If we
do these things, we can indeed
say that the fleet is ready to fight
and win.”
Sexual assault reports: Dec. 8-14, 2014

Hagel additional troops to deploy to Iraq
by Tech. Sgt. Jake Richmond
WASHINGTON - Up to 1,300 more U.S. troops, including
approximately 1,000 Soldiers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne
Division, will begin to deploy to Iraq in late January, Pentagon
Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said Dec. 19.
“Their mission will be to train, advise and assist Iraqi security
forces,” Kirby told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. “This deployment is part of the additional 1,500 troops that the president
authorized in November.”
The roughly 300 troops who are deploying in the same timeframe as the 82nd Airborne group will be from multiple services,
the admiral said. Their contributions will be in “largely enabler
capabilities,” said Kirby. “What makes this [deployment] different
is simply the geography. The advising teams will operate in the
Anbar area and north of Baghdad.”
Senior Enlisted Academy prepares for influx of E-8s
by Daniel L. Kuester
NEWPORT, R.I.- All senior chiefs hoping to become master
chiefs are now required to complete the Senior Enlisted Academy
(SEA) course at U.S. Naval War College (NWC) in Newport, as
announced by the Navy in November.
For E-8s, that means approximately twice the number of students will be going through the program; for the SEA, that means
nearly two years of preparation is finally paying off.
“In February 2013, when the MCPON [Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy] told us we needed to double the capacity of the
SEA in order to afford every E-8 who wants to become an E-9 the
opportunity to come here, we started to work on the logistics,” said
Command Master Chief Jason Wallis, director of SEA.
“We were trying to double the amount of students we could
get in here,” he said.
Increasing the number of enrolled students from 544 to approximately 1,100 was not as easy as having twice the number
of classes. Instructors, SEA budget, and the host command, Naval Station Newport, would not be able to handle the increased
load.
New program prepares enlisted for medical school
by Tech. Sgt. Jake Richmond
WASHINGTON - A new program provides an in-resident opportunity for uniquely qualified enlisted members to complete
preparatory coursework for medical school application while
maintaining their active-duty status.
The Enlisted to Medical Degree Preparatory Program, or
EMDP2, officially got underway in the fall, with an inaugural class
of 10. The class participated in a ceremony recently to celebrate
the end of its first semester and “to acknowledge that this has
turned from an idea into a reality,” said Dr. Art Kellerman, dean
of the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine and administrator
of EMDP2.
“This program was created to give handpicked, highly promising enlisted personnel from the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine
Corps an opportunity to make that transition - to become officers
and to become physicians,” Kellerman said.
According to the Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences website, EMDP2 comprises a two-year regimen of
traditional classroom instruction, structured pre-health advising,
formal Medical College Admission Test preparation, dedicated
faculty and peer mentoring, and integrated clinical exposure.
“From the first day at the [Uniformed Services] University,
we have had occasional students who came into school with
a background of service in the enlisted ranks,” Kellerman
said. “

Japan, Australia to provide F-35 maintenance sites in Pacific Region
by Claudette Roulo
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 2014 - Japan and Australia will be
sharing maintenance and upgrade duties for the F-35 Lightning
II joint strike fighter based or operating in the Pacific region, the
program executive officer for the aircraft announced today.
F-35 heavy air frame maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade
capabilities will be provided by Japan in the northern Pacific and
Australia in the southern Pacific, Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher
C. Bogdan told reporters. Both countries are expected to have their
facilities operational no later than 2018.
Initial heavy engine maintenance capability will be provided by
Australia by early 2018, he said, and Japan will provide additional
capability 3 to 5 years later.
Once Japan’s heavy engine capability is achieved, Bogdan said,
the program office will look at the footprint and distribution of
F-35’s in the Pacific to “see if these decisions are still appropriate
and if we have to make any kind of adjustments in terms of the
assignment capabilities and moving forward.”

fighter carrier variant prepares to
launch from USS Nimitz in the Pacific Ocean. Navy photo, courtesy

A similar process will take place in Europe, and all of the assignments will be reviewed every three to five years, he added.
Over the next two years, assignments for other components,
systems and repair capabilities will be determined for both Europe
and the Pacific, Bogdan noted.
Japan’s final assembly and
check-out facility will be quite
different from the facilities in
Italy and Fort Worth, Texas, the
general said.
Efficiencies learned through
experience at the Fort Worth
facility are being incorporated
into the Japanese facility as it is
constructed, he said.
“Both the plant at Fort Worth
and the plant in Italy are expansive in terms of distance on the
ground,” he said, but Japan is
building vertically. Manufacturing will take place on a number of different floors, Bogdan
said, and the aircraft will move
through the facility on elevators
as it is assembled.
Just like in Europe, he said,
Japan is responsible for the
funding and construction of
their facility, which will be operated by a Japanese company.
Lockheed-Martin will oversee
technical aspects of production in Italy and Japan, Bogdan
noted, and the U.S. government
will oversee security.
Geography and operational
necessity played a considerable
role in the Defense Department’s
final decision to place air frame
facilities in two locations, the
general said.
Seven thousand miles separate
the two primary areas where F35s will be concentrated in the
Pacific, Bogdan said. Moving
entire aircraft over that distance would require significant
amounts of fuel and other support, he said, making it uneconomical. And, he said, “Quite
often, some of those airplanes
that have to be inducted into a
depot are going in there because
they need upgrades or there’s
something wrong.”
in Australia, or vice versa, has
an operational impact, because
the war fighter won’t get the
airplane as quickly as he needed
to,” he explained.
Operationally, it didn’t make
sense to introduce a long transportation delay into the MRO&U
process, the general said.
Geography wasn’t as serious an initial consideration for
engines, Bogdan said.
“If you’re having airplanes in
the northern Pacific that need
a rapid upgrade to respond to
a new threat, having to move
them 7,000 miles to do that mod
“You can break the engines
down into modules, and when
you break them down into modules, transportation is much
easier, quicker and cheaper,”
he said.
As more aircraft arrive in
the Pacific theater, Australia’s
heavy engine maintenance,
repair, overhaul and upgrades
capability will eventually be
supplemented by Japan, the
general said.
“Bringing a Japanese capability online after that represents
the fact that as more airplanes
come to the Pacific over time,
we want to make sure we have
enough throughput to get all the
engines done in the region in a
timely way.”

113th Congress sees increase
in Action Center usage
The 113th Congress was a record-breaking Congress for members using the FRA Action Center (nearly 116,000). Since starting
the program in 2005, usage has increased more than tenfold. The
Action Center (available at action.fra.org/action-center) provides
pre-written messages either supporting or opposing legislation
that shipmates can edit and send to their elected officials in
Washington. Grassroots advocacy has a direct influence on the
Association’s ability to effectively represent your
concerns before Congress and appropriate
federal agencies. Legislation that was not
passed during 113th Congress (2013–2014)
is tabled and must be re-introduced in the
new 114th Congress that starts on January 6,
2015. As key bills are introduced they will be
listed on the Action Center.
Senate derails military suicide prevention
bill but passes TBI improvements
FRA staff (ADVP Ben Young) participated in a Capitol Hill
press conference, along with nine other veterans’ service organizations (VSOs), to advocate for immediate passage of military
and veteran suicide prevention legislation in the Senate before
Congress adjourned. Also in attendance were Senators Bernie
Sanders (Vt.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), and John Walsh
(Mont.). Senate rules require unanimous consent to move a bill
immediately to the floor for final consideration, but Senator
Tom Coburn (Ok.) objected, which effectively killed the bill.
Recently, the House approved the “Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act” (H.R. 5059), which requires the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and DoD to allow an annual
independent third party evaluation of their mental health care
and suicide prevention programs. This FRA-supported legislation was approved by a voice vote, and sent onto the Senate for
further consideration.
The bill further seeks to reduce veterans and military suicide
by: Requiring the VA to create a one-stop interactive website to
serve as a centralized source of information regarding all VA
mental health services; Addressing the shortage of mental health
care professionals by authorizing VA to conduct a student loan
repayment pilot program to recruit and retain psychiatrists; and
Creating a pilot program to assist veterans who are transitioning
from active duty to veteran status..

WASHINGTON - The Navy
awarded a contract, Dec. 22, for
the towing and dismantling of
decommissioned aircraft carrier
Ranger (CV 61) to International
Shipbreaking, Ltd.
Under the contract, the company will be paid $0.01, a price that
reflects the net price proposed by
International Shipbreaking, Inc.,
which considered the estimated
proceeds from the sale of the
scrap metal to be generated from
dismantling.
This is not a sales contract,
it is a procurement contract;
$0.01 is the lowest price the
Navy could possibly have paid
the contractor for towing and
dismantling the ship.
The ship will be towed from
the Navy’s inactive ships maintenance facility in Bremerton,
Washington, to International
Shipbreaking, Ltd.’s ship dismantling facility in Brownsville,
Texas, for complete dismantling
and recycling.
The ship is expected to depart
Bremerton via tow in January or
February, and arrive in Brownsville after four to five months.
The ship is too large for passage
through the Panama Canal and
must be towed around South
America.
Ranger was the third Forrestal-class aircraft carrier to be
built. The ship was laid down
Aug. 2, 1954, by Newport News
Shipbuilding & Drydock Co.,
Newport News, Virginia, and
commissioned at the Norfolk
Naval Shipyard, Aug. 10, 1957.
Ranger was the only ship of
the Forrestal class to spend its
entire career in the Pacific. The
ship made a total of 22 Western
Pacific deployments, was an
active participant in the Vietnam
War, and was the only West
Coast-based carrier to deploy
in support of Operation Desert
Storm.
Ranger was decommissioned
July 10, 1993, after more than
35 years of service. It served as
a retention asset for potential
future reactivation until stricken
from the Naval Vessel Register,
March 8, 2004, and redesigned
for donation.
After eight years on donation
hold, the USS Ranger Foundation was unable to raise the
necessary funds to convert the
ship into a museum or to overcome the physical obstacles of
transporting her up the Columbia
River to Fairview, Oregon. As
a result, Ranger was removed
from the list of ships available
for dismantling and designated
for dismantling.
While there are many veterans
with strong desires that the Navy
not scrap the ship they served on,
there were no states, municipalities or nonprofit organizations
with a viable plan seeking to
save the ship.
The Navy can’t donate a
vessel unless the application
fully meets the Navy’s minimum
requirements for donation, and
cannot retain inactive ships
indefinitely.

A recent Bloomberg Businessweek report references the
Kaufman Foundation’s “Index of Entrepreneurial Activity,”
which found that the current veterans’ startup rate for businesses
is less than the startup rates for all Americans, and less than the
veteran startup rate in 1996. Despite the fact that the pool of
federal money available to veteran entrepreneurs is increasing,
Congress created a preference for government contractors owned
by service-disabled veterans in 2003. The program has grown
from $760 million in that year to $11 billion in 2014. The Small
Business Administration (SBA), meanwhile, has offered steady
support for loan programs designed to help veterans. For more
information about SBA assistance for veterans, go to: http://www.

Navy’s latest commercial
“The Shield” debuted December 13th to TV and web
audiences worldwide.
The thirty second commercial aired during CBS’
coverage of the 115th ArmyNavy game and was added
to the America’s Navy You
Tube page (http://m.youtube.
com/watch?feature=youtu.
be&v=ThImmlN-I8s)
shortly after the game concluded.
Much of the discussion
on social media focused on
the ad’s tag-line “to get to
you, they’d have to get past
us,” as well as the commercials abridged ending. Gone
is the familiar motto “A
Global Force for Good.”
The change represents a
decision by Navy leadership to move away from a
motto that simply goes after
potential recruits, in favor of
advertising that speaks to
both would-be and currently
serving Sailors.
Navy began editing past
commercials to remove the
old motto earlier this year.
All Navy commercials now
end with the recognizable
voice of Keith David simply
saying “America’s Navy.”
“The Shield,” features
a young couple and child
flanked on all sides by Sailors wearing varying uniforms, emblematic of the
Navy’s numerous jobs and
opportunities to serve.
The next Navy ad is expected in early 2015 and
will highlight the service’s
ability to operate around the
world--on, above and below
the sea.

Still, he said, “the mission is

Q. I’ve tried to explain
to an important customer that he misunderstood
our policies when he
hired my company. The
customer can’t admit he
was wrong and is now
talking to my boss, and
I’m in trouble. How did
this end up my fault?
A. Implying, hinting or telling people they’re “wrong” is
right up there with telling them
they’re “inadequate,” “bad”
or “stupid.” Obviously, we
can’t be human and not possess these weaknesses. Even
so, using these words is the
equivalent of declaring war.
As a communication consultant, I’m often called in when
these “fighting” words have
been used. By the time I arrive, little work is getting done

THE PLACE TO GO BEFORE YOU GO ANYWHERE
The military went from 26,000
to about 19,000 incidents. “But
that’s still 19,000 too many,”
Dempsey said.
The military also had to create an environment where more
victims came forward to make
reports. “Here, the signs are also
good,” the general said. “The
percentage of victims reporting
these crimes went up substantially. This is an indicator that
victims have increasing confi-
dence that our military takes this
crime seriously and will respond
appropriately.”
An independent firm reported
that DoD showed progress in 10
of 12 metrics. “One area where
I remain concerned about is that
the report indicates that victims
may perceive some retaliation
from their peers,” Dempsey said.
“We must continue to change our
culture to one that protects our
people and supports them for
coming forward.”
In the past, the chairman
called sexual assault “an insider
threat,” and just like an insider
threat in combat, it “is unacceptable and there is still much
work to do.”
these mediations by asking
each party what they’d like to
fix the problem. They often
don’t remember what they
wanted because they’re now
just focused on making the
other person the bad guy.
Your customer is actually
not upset he “misunderstood”
the policy. He’s upset you
think he’s “wrong.” You are
now equally involved in proving yourself “right” which
means he’s really “wrong.”
To solve your dilemma,
think outside of the right/
wrong box. Instead, try imagining what outcome everybody
might want. Your customer
wants to use your service and
get what he needs without being “wrong.” Your boss wants
you to make your customer
happy and let your customer
know what your company
can do. You want to make
your customer and your boss
happy.
Nobody needs to be wrong.
Try focusing on the present;
ask questions about what
your customer wants now and
what you can do now. Don’t
get into debates about what
can’t be changed and who
screwed up.
If your customer is ridiculously entitled, all you needed
to do was take his requests
to your boss for approval or
denial. Important customers
who won’t respond to normal
limits shouldn’t be told they’re
wrong; they should be talking
to your boss.
In dealing with mistakes in
the workplace try to keep in
mind that to err is human, and
to focus on the end goal (rather
than the error) is divine.

Q. How do you maintain a work/life balance
when you have little
kids?
A. You often have to choose
between a higher standard of living and time with your kids. Kids
are a time-limited opportunity,
work is not.

Last year the society assisted more than 1,500 Service members
in financial cases providing more than $1.1 million to those in need
aboard Miramar alone. That doesn’t include cases of financial counseling or classes offered by the organization.
The NMCRS holds an annual fund drive asking Service members,
family members and civilian contractors to donate for their cause and
replenish some of those funds they provide. Last year they received
roughly one tenth of what they spent.
The society needs help.
Maj. Gen. Michael Rocco, 3rd MAW commanding general,
explained that he and his wife are both staunch supporters of the
society’s mission and he plans to ensure that word is passed about
the event.

The purpose behind the board was to present how much aid the
branch provides to the Service members stationed aboard the air
station and about the upcoming fund drive they will hold in the
spring.
According to Miller, the funds they ask for go right back into the

About Your Health
Public Health Center launches new website for the Navy’s ShipShape Program
The Navy and Marine
Corps Public Health Center
(NMCPHC) announced the
launch of a revitalized website
for the Navy’s ShipShape Program, Dec. 2.
The ShipShape program is the
official Navy weight management program that assists activeduty Sailors, Navy beneficiaries,
and government civilians with
making healthy behavior changes in order to lose weight.
The program consists of eight
sessions that focus on three important components for weight
management: mindset, nutrition
and physical activity.
The ShipShape program is
managed by NMCPHC and
aligns to the missions of the
Navy’s 21st Century Sailor
and Marine initiative and Navy
Medicine to maintain a healthy,
fit and ready force.
“The new ShipShape program
website provides improved site
structure and an array of new
content and features,” said Sally
Vickers, public health educator
at NMCPHC. “The new site has
already garnered more than 500
unique visits and has been met
with an overwhelmingly positive
response. It offers ShipShape
facilitators, coordinators, participants, and command fitness
leaders (CFLs) quick and easy
access to essential information
and resources in support of the
ShipShape program.”
The new site includes the fol-
Promising way to prevent skin transplant rejection
by Doris Ryan
A team of Navy researchers
and collaborators working at
the Naval Medical Research
Center may have found a way
to stop skin tissue rejection
and published their results in
the latest issue of STEM CELL
Translational Medicine.
The research team developed and tested a laboratory
skin transplantation treatment
strategy model that supports
the indefinite survival of donor
transplanted skin grafts without
use of long-term immunosuppression drug therapy.
This novel approach entails
the intravenous injection of a
small number of donor bone
marrow cells and human stem
cells.
Researchers still have a lot of
work to do. From these preliminary studies, the next step is to
test this strategy in preclinical
studies to determine safety and
efficacy. With promising results,
this research will provide important knowledge about new
ways to prevent rejection of
transplanted organs.
“As we move forward, we are
cautiously optimistic, appreciating that the transition from a laboratory model to proof-of-principle preclinical studies is challenging and not straightforward.
If successful, this technology has
diverse therapeutic applications
in clinical transplantation in both
military and civilian settings,”
Davis said.
Capt. Eric A. Elster, professor and chairman at Norman M.
Rich Department of Surgery,
Uniformed Services University
of the Health Sciences, helped
lead the study.
“ASC constitutively produced
high levels of anti-inflammatory immunoregulatory factors,” Elster said. “While further
work is needed to validate this
approach in other laboratory
models before clinical trials can
begin, the ability to use ASC,
which are non-donor specific
and clinically feasible, to induce
tolerance opens a new horizon in
transplantation.”
Traumatically injured warfighters often undergo complex
tissue and limb reconstruction
that includes procedures involving skin, muscle, bone, joint,
cartilage and nerve. Preservation
and reconstruction is critical to
long-term rehabilitation related
to daily activities such as walking, eating, bathing and dressing.
Doctors are using reconstructive
surgery to treat devastating combat wounds and burns and that
includes tissue transplantation
combined with long-term immune-suppression medications.
Rejection of transplanted tissue
from an unmatched donor can
lead to critical complications.
“Through the ShipShape
program, we help participants
achieve healthy weight loss by
facilitating changes in eating and
exercise habits that enable them
to reach and maintain a healthy
Lt. Pamela Cole, a nutritionist assigned to U.S. Naval
Hospital Yokosuka, speaks to Sailors during a health

weight throughout their careers
and beyond,” said Cmdr. Connie Scott, the Health Promotion
and Wellness department head
at NMCPHC. “Our goal is to
provide a system that helps participants achieve both personal
and professional success and
empower them to make healthy
choices and stay fit for life.”

“We demonstrated in the laboratory that a single infusion of

Fort Worth arrives in Jakarta for 1st Southeast Asia port visit
by MC2
Antonio P. Turretto Ramos
JAKARTA, Indonesia - USS
Fort Worth (LCS 3) arrived in
Jakarta, Indonesia, Dec. 22 as
part of a 16-month rotational
deployment in support of the
Indo-Asia-Pacific rebalance.
The port visit is Fort Worth’s
first in Southeast Asia, and also
marks the first LCS visit to Indonesia, an archipelagic nation
that comprises 17,000 islands
and the world’s third largest
democracy.
Greeting the ship upon arrival
were the U.S. Ambassador to
Indonesia, Robert Blake, commander of U.S. 7th Fleet’s Task
Force 73, Rear Adm. Charlie
Williams, and commander of
Destroyer Squadron 7, Capt.
Fred Kacher. Senior Indonesian
Navy officials were also on the
pier to greet Fort Worth.
“Fort Worth’s arrival in Jakarta
is the first of many engagements
she will conduct with regional
navies while deployed to 7th
Fleet for the next 15 months,”
said Williams. “This port visit
also speaks to our strong and
growing partnership with the
Indonesian Navy.”
Southeast Asia is a textbook
example of a littoral region and
an area where LCS is uniquely
suited to operate. With its maneuverability, high speed and
shallow draft, LCS provides
regular and routine presence in
the region and access to places
where larger U.S. Navy ships
cannot go.
Fort Worth is of comparable
size to the warships operated
by regional navies in Southeast
Asia, and a major benefit of the
platform is its ability to work
with them during exercises like
Cooperation Afloat Readiness
and Training (CARAT). Fort
Worth is scehduled to return to
Indonesia in 2015 as part of the
CARAT series.
“Fort Worth’s arrival in Jakarta is a new dawn for U.S. Navy
operations in Southeast Asia,”
said Kacher. “As someone who
has lived and worked in the region for the past two years, the
question I consistently receive
from our partners is, ‘When is
LCS coming?’ With Fort Worth
now here, and additional LCSs
rotationally deploying to Singapore in the coming years, I
can confidently tell our partners
that LCS is here for good and
she’s ready to operate at sea
with you.”
Fort Worth will employ the
surface warfare (SUW) mission
package for her entire deployment, augmenting her 57mm
gun and rolling airframe missile
launcher with two 30mm guns,
two 11-meter rigid-hull inflatable boats, and two six-member

U.S. Pacific Fleet announced
in February that USS Green
Bay (LPD 20) will be forward
deployed to replace the decommissioned USS Denver (LPD 9)
in Japan. Peleliu deployed to the
Western Pacific to mitigate the
gap in amphibious presence.
The ship visited numerous
ports including, Apra Harbor,
Guam; Sasebo and Okinawa,
Japan; Subic Bay, Philippines
and Singapore. During the
visits, Peleliu competed against
partner nation teams during
various sporting events and
participated in community relations projects.
“Through community relations activities, Peleliu extended
efforts to support strong relationships with both U.S.-based partners as well as regional allies and
friends throughout the Western
Pacific,” said Cmdr. Jack Carver,
the ship’s chaplain. “They also
offered our Sailors and Marines
the opportunity to learn and
develop an appreciation for the
rich cultural heritage.”
Over the course of deployment, Peleliu transited more than
25,000 nautical miles, conducted
the safe launch and recovery
of more than 50 Landing Craft
Utility, 30 Landing Craft Air
Cushion, and 25 Amphibious
Assault Vehicle ship to shore
movements, as well as carrier
and deck landing qualifications
and operations for Navy and
Marine Corps aircraft squadrons, Army 160th Airborne and
foreign aircraft from Colombia,
Peru, Mexico and Argentina.
Peleliu is named for the Battle
of Peleliu during World War II
where 1,256 Marines gave their
lives to take Peleliu.
“The crew routinely stepped
up and exceeded my expectations during this challenging
final deployment and I know that
would not have been possible
without the enormous support of
our families and friends back at
home” said Capt. Paul Spedero,
commanding officer of Peleliu.
“I’m proud of this crew and their
dedicated families.”
Joint, interagency and international relationships strengthen
U.S. 3rd Fleet’s ability to respond to crises and protect the
collective maritime interests
of the U.S. and its allies and
partners.
Exercise Valiant Mark is a continuous bilateral training exercise
between the United States Marine Corps and the Singaporean
Armed Forces that enhances the U. S. and Singaporean forces’
combined combat readiness through live-fire and urban terrain
training as well as amphibious operations familiarization. The
first iteration of this exercise, Valiant Mark 14.1, was held in
January 2014 in Singapore.
Marines and Singaporean Soldiers conducted a simulated
combat scenario in which the Singaporean Armed Forces arrived
in tanks and progressed into the combat town to clear it with
supporting rocket assets provided by the Marines.
“Today we have integrated with the Singaporean Armed Forces
and attached assault men to each section and we’ve given them
the asset of rockets to take the town,” said Cpl. Travis Reynders,
an assault man and section leader with 1st Bn., 5th Marines. “Our
mission is to clear the town with them.”
Each Singaporean section conducted clearing maneuvers, and
as a whole, they cleared every building in the town one by one
while gauging how to react and proceed while taking fire from
the enemy.
“The Singaporeans pick things up very quickly, especially
when we are dealing with MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) and urban environments. We teach them how we
would do it, and then we discuss how they would do it,” said
Reynders.
The Marines and Singaporean Armed Forces communicated as
they progressed through the exercise and informed each another
of the decisions they would make to accomplish the mission.
The Marines offered input into the scenario and shared their
knowledge with the Singaporean Soldiers to help them improve
their tactics.
“It’s different when you are used to working with your own
company; it’s different switching and learning new tactics. It’s
definitely a learning experience,” said Reynders. “There is always good and bad from everything, you take everything away
you can.”
The Marines and Singaporean Armed Forces continue to establish and build a relationship that strengthens both militaries
and improves the overall mission readiness of the United States
and its allies.
“The takeaway for the Marines, is the experience. I always learn
something new every time I work with a different military. It’s
honestly amazing the impression that we’ve left on them,” said
Cpl. Estevan Ramos, an assault man and squad leader.
Marines and allies of the United States continue to train and
remain ready to support the mission and respond to any crisis at
a moment’s notice.

submarine missions is crossing
over to the surface fleet and is
being installed this month on
the guided-missile cruiser USS
Mobile Bay (CG 53), officials announced Dec. 16.
Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the technology adds speed and precision the
process of finding the best routes
around hazards in waterways
around the world.
Sailors spend days or even
weeks planning a successful navigation route for a mission. They
Last year, Avenger-class mine
countermeasures ship USS Guardian (MCM-5) ran aground partly
because errors in nautical charts
went unnoticed. In 2005, Los
Angeles-class nuclear submarine
USS San Francisco (SSN-711)
struck an undersea mountain that
did not appear on a chart used by
the submarine’s crew. Information
from other charts that noted discolored water - indicating a possible
obstacle - was never transferred to
the chart in use.
The installation on Mobile Bay
will help researchers refine the
mission planning technology for
the surface ship community. ONR
also will continue to work with the
which is working with ONR to get
the software certified for use in
the submarine fleet. “As a former
commanding officer, I spent loads
of time looking for the right charts,
getting them approved and looking
for all of those shallow spots, so
the capability we’re getting with
this new system is critical.”
The mission-planning software
was developed under the Capable
Manpower Future Naval Capability program, which aims to deliver
advanced technology to the fleet in
just five years.
In addition to PMS 425, the Mission Planning Application system
is the result of partnerships with

Technology EXPO in February,
where many of the innovative
technologies coming to fruition
for the Navy and Marine Corps
will be on display.

“Our goal is for Sailors to be
able to carry out a mision effectively and safely,” said William
“Kip” Krebs, program officer in
ONR’s Warfighter Performance
Department. “This system merges
a variety of crucial data so planners
can integrate information ahead of
time and the command team can
focus on the critical operations
at hand.”
The easy-to-use tools synchronize navigation route plans to produce a visual composite of “what,
when, where, why and how” for
each mission. Relying solely on
manual processes to gather, sort,
search and maintain massive
amounts of complex data is time
consuming and subject to human
error, officials say.

TSC San Diego engages the fleet
with Training Officer Seminar
by Ensign Blake Bumpous
SAN DIEGO - The Fleet Liaison Office at Training Support
Center (TSC), San Diego hosted
training officers and assistants
from the San Diego fleet during
its quarterly Training Officer
Seminar, Dec. 11.
The training seminars are
designed to give command
training personnel the tools and
information they need for success in the fleet.
The seminars are a coordinated effort among TSC, Commander, Naval Surface Force,
U.S. Pacific Fleet (SURFPAC),
local Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) learning
centers, and Space and Naval
Warfare Systems (SPAWAR)
Command to assist ships in
establishing long-range, continuous training readiness plans.
The readiness plans are designed
to help ships maintain Surface
Force Training Manual requirements for school quotas while
maximizing course utilization.
“We use these training seminars as an opportunity to connect
with our counterparts in the
fleet,” said Maureen Caballero, TSC director of Training
Support. “Our goal is to brief
everyone on the most up-to-date
information on formal Navy
schools and courses.”
The latest seminar touched on
a wide range of training topics.
TSC briefed attendees on current
issues facing the fleet including
quota control in high-volume
courses such as basic shipboard
firefighting and damage control,
statistics, and tips on reducing
missed training opportunities,
including policies concerning
course pre-requisites. SURFPAC’s Force Training Officer

Fleet Readiness Center Southwest
Lowest incident rate among Navy depots
NAS NORTH ISLAND
- Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) has achieved the
lowest Total Case Incident Rate
(TCIR) among US Navy and
Marine Corps repair facilities.
During fiscal years 20122014 Fleet Readiness Center
Southwest (FRCSW) reduced
on-the-job injuries by more than
30 percent in total. That trend
has continued through the first
2 months of FY15 with the total
case incident rate (TCIR) down
another 57 percent from 3.09 in
FY14 to 1.35. That TCIR is the
lowest of all FRCs and is a full
64 percent below the Bureau of
Labor Statistics rate of 3.7.
(Total Case Incident Rate is
the generally accepted measure used to report workplace
injuries across an industry or
industry segment. TCIR is defined as the average number of
work-related injuries incurred
by 100 workers during a oneyear period.)
Over the past 3 years, across
all programs, the command has
reduced the number of over
exertion and hearing loss cases
tremendously but FRCSW has
seen the largest reduction in
the F/A-18 program which has
reduced its average number of
yearly mishaps from 32 in FY12
to 18 by the end of FY14. That’s
a whopping 46 percent reduction in yearly mishaps!
Reductions this large cannot
be accomplished without a wellrounded and fully integrated
safety approach. The command
has not only implemented directives and other regulatory guidance but has sought the support
of supervisors and competency
managers in establishing regular monthly safety training. This
training is focused on Hearing

Makin Island MWR holds ‘Reindeer Games’
by MC2(SW/AW) Lawrence Davis
GULF OF ADEN - As Christmas melodies
echoed throughout the hangar bay of USS Makin
Island (LHD 8), smiles on Sailors’ faces brought
light to the dimly blue lit space as they participated in the command’s MWR-hosted “Reindeer
Games” Dec. 10.
“I wanted to host as many Christmas-themed
events as possible to help keep our Sailors’
minds off of being away from home during the
holidays,” said Venoy.
“It’s a morale booster, especially after a hard
day’s work,” said Seaman Daniella Torrence,
assigned to Makin Island’s deck department.
Santa Claus won’t be thrilled this year about
the shortage of Christmas cookies aboard Makin
Island after the second event where a representative from each team devoured oatmeal raisin
cookies and gulped down a cup of milk competing for best time.
“It’s a lot of fun,” said Personnel Specialist
3rd Class Joe Schweiner. “It’s nice to get out of
the office and play a few games while deployed
during the holidays.”
Sailors divided into three teams of four and
decided on team names: “Rudolf & Pals,” “Team
Mistletoe,” and the “Islander Misfits.” Venoy
read off the rules and prepared everyone for the
start of the competition.
The holiday cheer continued throughout the
games and at the conclusion of the event Venoy
announced the winners. First place was earned
by “Team Mistletoe.” Second place was awarded
to “Rudolf & Pals,” and third place went to the
“Islander Misfits.”
“The more the merrier,” said Venoy. “We’ve
got our teams and we’re ready to kick off Christmas with tonight’s event.”
Regardless of who placed where, Sailors said
they had a great time with this year’s “Reindeer
Games.”
Pin the Parts on Frosty was first. Sailors
lined up to be blindfolded, spun around three
times, and guided toward the rare sighting of a
snowman in the 5th Fleet area of responsibility. With only the guidance of their teammate’s
voices, they had to guess where to pin Frosty
“The Santa Sleigh was really funny watching everyone work as a team to win the race

STARTING THIS WEEK:
“THE GOOD LIE”: Reese Witherspoon spent this movie year
in different types of roles, one example being this moving, factinspired drama about the Lost Boys, youths from Sudan who fled
their country’s civil war to seek safe refuge. It was found by the
young people at this story’s heart in Kansas, where an emotionally
guarded social worker (Witherspoon) tries to place them in jobs,
though their skills and knowledge of the outside world are extremely
limited. Corey Stoll (“House of Cards”) plays her boss, and the cast
also includes several of the real-life Lost Boys. The screenplay is by
Margaret Nagle, who also developed television’s current “Red Band
Society.” DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; deleted scenes.
*** (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
“PRIDE”: A remarkable show of support - which occurred in real
life - is spotlighted in this tale of a group of gay activists that took
definite, demonstrable action to help striking miners and their families in the United Kingdom of the mid-1980s. They raised money for
some of those affected, then traveled from London to Wales to present
the funds. Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton and Dominic West (“The Affair”) are in the cast. DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; deleted
and extended scenes. *** (R: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
“THE TRIP TO ITALY”: “The Trip” was just the beginning for
British humorists Steve Coogan (“Philomena”) and Rob Brydon,
who reunite for another journey in this largely improvised comedy,
though director Michael Winterbottom did provide them with the
outline of a script. The duo travels along the coast of Italy, conversing
about a broad variety of subjects while sampling food and lodging
for columns they’re meant to write ... and trying to keep from getting
on each other’s nerves. The film is excerpted from a longer series

“As I learned how many people
watched the movie over and over
and over,” said Eleanor Bergstein, screenwriter of the film
Dirty Dancing and book writer
for the musical, “I began to think
that what they really wanted was
to share more intensely in the
event, to step through the screen
and be there while the story was
happening. And if that was true,
then its natural form was the
theatre – audiences watching live
bodies dancing here and now in
the present – on the log, on the
bridge, on the dance floor and in
the staff quarters at Kellerman’s.
Writing it for the stage, I was
also able to add more Baby and
Johnny scenes, more about the
family, more songs I couldn’t afford last time, and, most exciting
of all – more dancing.”
“Dirty Dancing is one of our
most beloved and timeless properties,” said Lionsgate Televi-

Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage is an unprecedented live experience,
exploding with heart-pounding
music, passionate romance and
sensational dancing. Seen by
millions across the globe, this
timeless love story features the
hit songs “Hungry Eyes,” “Hey
Baby,” “Do You Love Me?” and
the heart-stopping “(I’ve Had)
The Time Of My Life.” London’s
Sunday Express says “This
crowd-pleasing stage adaptation
hits the jackpot!”
It’s the summer of 1963, and
17-year-old Frances ‘Baby’
Houseman is on vacation in
New York’s Catskill Mountains
as Johnny’s leading lady, both
on-stage and off.
Dirty Dancing – The Classic
Story On Stage was first performed at the Theatre Royal in
Sydney, Australia in November
2004 before embarking upon a
hugely successful tour of Australia and New Zealand. A new
production opened at the Theater
Neue Flora in Hamburg, Germany in March 2006 where it broke
records for achieving the highest
advance in European history.
The production began performances on London’s West End in
October 2006 with an £11 million
advance and went on to become
the longest running show in the
history of the Aldwych Theatre.
It closed in July 2011 in advance
of a two-year UK national tour
and then returned to London for
a strictly limited season at the
Piccadilly Theatre.
The show has gone on to perform across the world in markets
as diverse as Utrecht, Holland,
Johannesburg and Cape Town,
South Africa. It is currently
represented by a new UK tour,
which launched March 2014 in
Bristol.
Help
The society offers many different programs, run mostly by
volunteers. Some of these are
educating Marines on budgeting
smartly, financial assistance for
loans and education, in-home
nursing for combat veterans,
access to the installation’s thrift
shop and quick assist loans.
Most of those who volunteer
have received help from the
society or have heard of what
it offers Service members and
want to give back.
“We enjoy what we do,” said
Leah Miller, director of Miramar’s NMCRS branch and former volunteer. “It always brings
me joy to be stopped outside
of a brief by someone so they
can tell me that our information
helped them.”
Their ultimate goal is to edu-
cate and assist Service members
who might need assistance due
to extenuating circumstances
and relieve any stress they might
be feeling from monetary issues
so they can stay ready to serve.
Have a safe
and
happy holiday.
Volunteers with the society
want to keep supplying Service
members with the help they
need, but they, and their programs, could use a little help
in return.
Miller expressed that donations of time, even if someone
can only give an hour, are as
greatly appreciated as monetary
donations, and that the society
is always in need of a few more
hands.

that was televised by England’s BBC. *** (Also on Blu-ray.) New
releases are on the light side this holiday week, so here’s a look at
several seasonal classics:
“IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE”: Upon its release, this Frank Capradirected 1946 classic had a lukewarm box-office performance upon
its release that gave no indication it would become as popular as it
long as it has been ... its plentiful television exposure being a huge
factor. James Stewart makes the perfect George Bailey, the hapless
Bedford Falls citizen whose experience of seeing how life would
be without him has been echoed by countless TV-series episodes.
Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore and - as wing-earning angel Clarence
- Henry Travers lend great support. DVD extras: theatrical trailer;
“making-of” documentary. **** (Not rated) (Also on Blu-ray)
“WHITE CHRISTMAS”: As comfortable as an active fireplace
on a cold winter’s night, this tuneful 1954 retooling of the 12-yearsearlier “Holiday Inn” - now available in a “Diamond Anniversary
Edition” - makes great use of its Irving Berlin score. Bing Crosby
and Danny Kaye make an ideal team as military veterans who become successful entertainment partners, then use their talents to help
their former commander (Dean Jagger) re-energize his failing resort.
Rosemary Clooney - aunt of George - and Vera-Ellen are charmers
as the siblings who distract the guys. DVD extras (“Anniversary
Edition”): two theatrical trailers; audio commentary by Clooney;
seven “making-of” documentaries; Christmas television-show appearances by Crosby and Kaye; photo galleries. **** (Not rated)
(Also on Blu-ray)
“A CHRISTMAS STORY”: There’s never a doubt this holiday
favorite will come back around, thanks to its annual 24-hour marathon on television. Anyone who ever desired that one special holiday
gift can empathize with Ralphie (Peter Billingsley), author-narrator
Jean Shepherd’s young alias who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB
gun - the one his mother (Melinda Dillon) warns will “shoot your
eye out.” Always deserving of citing is Darren McGavin as the gruff
dad who never actually curses, though it sure sounds like it. DVD
extras: theatrical trailer; three “making-of” documentaries; audio
commentary by Billingsley and director and co-writer Bob Clark.
*** (PG: P) (Also on Blu-ray)
COMING SOON:
“THE EQUALIZER” (Dec.
30): Denzel Washington reinvents Edward Woodward’s
television role as Robert McCall,
a former government agent who
uses his skills to help people in
trouble. (R: AS, P, V)
“GET ON UP” (Jan. 6): Chadwick Boseman plays James
Brown, the music icon who
channeled his energy and ambition to become known as “the
hardest working man in show
business.” (PG-13: AS, P, V)
“NO GOOD DEED” (Jan. 6):
A family woman (Taraji P. Henson) comes to regret giving assistance to a stranger (Idris Elba)
who turns out to be an escaped
convict. (PG-13: AS, P, V)

AutoMatters+: Electronic Driver Aids – 2015 Ford Fusion
familiar places.
After I attended the LA Auto
Show, Ford contacted me to
see if I was interested in taking
a 24-hour test drive of their
new Fusion during their “Live.
Drive. Love. promotion. They
sweetened their offer with the
promise of a $75 VISA debit
card. How could I say no?
I made an appointment and
then picked up a very well
equipped, 2015 Ford Fusion
Titanium EcoBoost from Bill
Bayne, the fleet and EV sales
manager of Kearny Pearson
Ford in San Diego. I was particularly interested in experiencing
the Fusion’s optional, state of
the art electronic driver aids.
I’ve experienced these features before, but only during
brief, supervised demonstrations at car shows and other
special events. I knew that I
would be better able to experience the features and benefits of
these electronic driver aids if I
was driving on my own and to
The adaptive cruise control is
a huge safety improvement over
regular cruise control. As Ford
says, “it functions like normal
cruise control with one exception. When adaptive cruise
control sensors detect traffic
slowing immediately ahead of
you, your vehicle also slows
down, based on your preset distance. When its sensors detect
traffic has cleared, your vehicle
returns to the set speed.” This
really works. It was amazing.
While on the freeway I set my
speed to 65mph. It maintained
that speed until I approached
(but was still well back from)
another car in my lane. Almost imperceptibly my Fusion
slowed and matched the speed
of the car ahead. When that car
exited the freeway, my car sped
back up to 65mph.
“Forward collision warning
with brake support can alert you
if it senses a potential collision
with the car in front of you. A
heads-up display, which simulates brake lights, flashes on the
windshield. If you don’t react in
time, the brakes will precharge
and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you brake.”
In their description of the
optional Active Park Assist
on their website (http://www.
approaches.
ford.com/cars/fusion/trim/titanium/), Ford explains: “While
you’re driving slowly near
parking spots, simply activate
available active park assist and
it looks for an available parking spot. Ultrasonic sensors
measure the distance to the curb
and between parked cars. Once
an appropriate spot is identified,
you’re signaled to stop and accept the system’s assistance.
You control the shifting, accelerating and braking.”
I must tell you, letting the car
do the steering while I operated the gas and the brakes was
intimidating. These were my
neighbors’ cars that I was trying
to park between! While backing
up and turning, I noticed that the
system placed the Fusion very
close to the outside rear corner
of the vehicle that I was parking
behind. That is no doubt how it
is able to help you park the car
in a minimum of space. According to Bill, he has managed to
park cars with as little as a foot
in front and behind. However,
he also told me that the distance
that the Fusion will be from
the curb depends upon how far
the car you’re parking behind
is from the curb. When I tried
parking behind a vehicle that
was literally against the curb,
my Fusion backed into the curb
and was stopped by it. I tried a
second time and that time I was
successful.
Also optional, the Lane Keeping System warns the
driver about unintentional lane departures, via mild
vibrations in the steering wheel. On the freeway it
feels like driving over very small rumble strips. It
also “applies steering torque, which alerts you to
direct your vehicle back into the target lane should
the system detect an unintended lane departure.” I
only felt this happen once. It was extremely gentle
and barely noticeable.
There are proximity sensors all around and a backup
Well appointed interior
The optional BLIS (Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert) warns
the driver, via a yellow light in the corner
of each outside mirror, that a vehicle is very
close to you. This is essential information
for the driver to have in order to safely
change lanes. However, I would prefer
to be notified earlier as the other vehicle
State of the art electronics
camera with helpful boundary lines.
Remember that all of these are only
driver aids. They do not replace the driver
but they are useful tools.
As always, please write to AutoMatters@gmail.com with your comments
and suggestions.

A: It is likely your cats will
live longer because you keep
them indoors, but just because
you offer them this benefit is no
justification for amputating parts
of their toes.
Whether or not a declaw is an
amputation is not a matter of opinion, as Vancouver, Canada-based
feline veterinarian Dr. Margie
Scherk explains: “Declawing
(onychectomy) is removal of each
‘finger/toe’ at the last knuckle.
By definition, this is amputation.
An amputation is the removal of
a part of the body from the rest
of the body. In humans, amputations are done only for medical
reasons to save a person’s life or

this dangerous? - R.S., via
cyberspace
A: Your lady friend’s dog is
very small, so doesn’t require
the amount of air we do. The
pup isn’t likely to suffocate.
If for some reason the dog
becomes uncomfortable, it’s
likely easy enough to squirm
out from under the sheets or
bark to get your lady friend’s
attention.
Parasite protection is always
important, but arguably, even
more so for people like me and

allow pets to share our beds.

most people - without the vaccines and not having anything
like the medicine we have today - lived to the ripe old age of
45,” notes Atlanta-based feline
veterinarian Dr. Drew Weigner.

Wood paneling. Burnt sienna

Framed portrait of you in the 4th
grade with an enormous split between your two front teeth. And
an excruciatingly uncomfortable
metal bar pressing against the
middle of your back.
Rerouting...
“Oh yea,” you finally recall,
“It’s the holidays. I’m in Pennsylvania. At my mother’s house.
In the basement that my parents
converted into a family room in
1977. On a hide-a-bed couch.”
by Lisa Smith Molinari
With a tiny snort, you awaken
from a bad dream about being
tied to a railroad track with a
locomotive barreling toward
you. You grope in the darkness,
relieved to find yourself under a
blanket, in bed, with no threat of
being torn to smithereens by an
oncoming freight train.
Relieved yet half-conscious,
you exhale with a soft grumble,
smack your lips, and turn on
your side to nuzzle back into
your pillow.
Ouch! What’s that dull pain
across the middle of your back?
It dawns on you: I’m not in my
own bed. Your eyelids open, one
after the other, and in the dim
early morning light, you take
in your surroundings to allow
your internal GPS to determine
it’s location.
waste water system. You’ve
become accustomed to the ample
gush of clear, cool, potable water
from faucets, shower heads, and
toilet tanks.
But in the one tiny bathroom
shared by every living soul in
your mother’s crowded house,
there are issues you’ve long
since forgotten about. As you
open the door, you detect the
faintly familiar odor of rotten
eggs.
You are about to blame your
Uncle Eddie, who went over-
After waiting a minute or two
for the water supply to recover
from your flush, you get in the
shower. Your pampered hair follicles will have to survive on the
79 cent bottle of VO5 Strawberries and Cream shampoo your
mother bought at the discount
store with a coupon. Mid-lather,
one of your kids knocks, begging, “Please! I gotta go!”
Ignoring Grammy’s hand-written sign, she flushes. “Ahhh!”
you yelp, as scalding hot water
cascades from the shower head.
There’s another knock at the

Although you’d rather lay
there uncomfortably, reminiscing about growing up in that
little brick ranch, nature calls.
You slowly roll your aching
torso to the edge of the paperthin mattress, setting off a cacophony of squeaking springs.
Standing silently by the brown,
orange, and harvest gold plaid
couch, you wait until you’re
sure your spouse is still asleep,
before tip-toeing up the stairs to
the bathroom.
Ever since moving out of
your childhood home, you have
enjoyed the basic human entitlements of the public drinking and
board on the sausage dip the
night before, but then you remember that the sulfurey well
water is the source of the offending odor, something you
were oblivious to growing up in
that house.
On the speckled Formica
countertop is a note from your
mother, reminding the family
of the limitations of the well
and septic tank: “If it’s brown,
flush it down, but if it’s yellow,
let it mellow.” You sit on the
mint-green porcelain commode,
leafing through an old National
Geographic, wondering how on
Earth you grew up this way.
bathroom door, as other family
members enter to brush their
teeth and use the toilet while
you brave the water temperature
fluctuations behind the frosted
glass shower doors.
Eventually, you emerge from
the only bathroom, dressed and
ready for another day of visiting
with family over the holidays.
You might get dirty looks from
your relatives, who have to wait
an hour for the hot water supply
to build back up before they can
shower. You might have frizzy
hair from your mother’s cheap
shampoo. And you might suffer
a few back spasms from sleeping
on that damned hide-a-bed.
But you don’t mind because
you realize that having family
to visit with over the holidays
is a blessing in disguise. These
quirky people brought you into
this world and are the reason you
are never alone. No matter how
annoying holiday family visits
might seem, when you consider
the alternative, you know it’s
all relative.
