By MCSN Gabriel Bevan
40 Sargent Drive New Haven, CT 06511

Conn. GROTON, Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) Sailors are answering the call to curb drinking abuse in concert with an initiative that was put out by the Secretary of the Navy, the Honorable Ray Mabus, in March of this year. The Assistant Secretary Manpower Navy for and Reserve (ASN), the Honorable Juan M. Garcia III, spoke with Sailors from all across SUBASE at Dealey Center about a wide range of topics including the introduction of breathalyzers to curb alcohol abuse in the Navy during two separate All Hands Calls, May 9. According to Garcia, the submarine force has lead the way in a variety of new policies and initiatives that have the SECNAV and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) have put in place this past year especially Photo by Lt. j.g.

Navy lays keel for Pre Commissioning Unit North Dakota

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg Commander, Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. - The Navy celebrated the keel-laying of Pre-Commissioning Unit North Dakota (SSN 784) at General Dynamics Electric Boat-Quonset Point division in North Kingstown, May 11. In a time-honored Navy tradition, ships sponsor Katie Fowler, wife of retired Vice Admiral Jeff Fowler, had her initials welded onto a steel plate that will be permanently affixed to North Dakotas hull.

USS North Dakota will always be in my thoughts and prayers, said Fowler prior to the welding of her initials, which signifies a bond between the submarine and her crew. Fowler, a former educator, has also served as a community leader as well as a supportive volunteer for most of her husbands active-duty career. She has been recognized for her volunteer efforts with two Navy Public Service Awards. Military attendees at the keel laying event included Adm.

Submarine Development Squadron 12 changes commanders

By Commander, Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs

GROTON, Conn. Submarine Development Squadron (DEVRON) 12 held a change of command ceremony May 11 aboard Los Angeles-class submarine USS San Juan (SSN 751) at Naval Submarine Base New London, Conn. During the time-honored ceremony, Captain William Merz turned over command to Capt. Vern Parks. Vice Admiral John Richardson, commander, Submarine Forces Atlantic, served as guest speaker, and praised Merz for his leadership. Its always wonderful to be in Groton, the submarine capital. Its a special treat to be here to take a moment to pause and reflect on Commodore Bill Merzs superb tour in command of SUBDEVRON 12, said Richardson. DEVRON 12 is unique in the Submarine Force, with a dual nature; there is the waterfront side, where Bill commanded the squadron of seven submarines, including deployments

to the CENTCOM and EUCOM theaters of operation. praised Richardson Merz for his leadership of the squadrons tactical development side, where he led a team of topnotch analysts that study and define our intellectual warfighting base. In both areas, Bill was superb. Richardson also reflected on Military Spouse Appreciation Day and recognized Merzs wife Martha. She has shared in the sacrifices and joys, doing her part while Bill did his, said Richardson. Our Navy would not run without the very special teamwork between Sailor and spouse, and Bill and Martha have been a stellar example of how good that team can be. Richardson added that the true legacy of Merzs leadership will be the people you have trained and led. Our Sailors and their families are the most important part of our success; they have always been our secret weapon. Richardson welcomed Parks to his new assignment as commodore of

GROTON, Conn. Identity theft is a problem with an increasing impact on our Naval community. In order to prevent becoming a victim, there are some simple but effective steps that can help to protect your identity. First, be proactive. Monitor your credit. You may order a free credit report by visiting www. annualcreditreport.com, by calling toll-free at (877) 322-8228, or by completing the Annual Credit Report Request Form on the www.annualcreditreport.com Web site and mailing it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. Be careful of any Web site or service that charges you for a credit report. You are entitled to one credit report per year from each of the major credit reporting bureaus: Experian, Equifax, and Transunion.

If you choose, you can therefore get three free credit reports every year by getting only one credit bureaus report every four months. Once you receive your credit report, review it for accuracy, and notify the credit bureaus immediately of any inaccuracies in the report. Second, protect your personal documents, especially during your deployments. They are just as important as your electronics, your car, and your jewelry, and they should be protected as such. Social Security cards, legal documents, passports, tax returns, and bills should all be secured in a fireproof box or safe before your departure. Unused documents with personal identifying information should always be shredded, not placed in drawers or trashcans. When you are deployed or underway, you may want to consider additional steps to protect your identity

group and they began the pilot testing of the breathalyzer a year in advance, said Garcia. They saw a 45 percent drop in alcohol related incidents and this played a key role in the Secretarys, CNOs, and Commandant of the Marine Corps decision to implement this fleetwide. According to Lieutenant Ed Early, Submarine Group Nine spokesperson, Pacific Fleet submariners took part in a pilot breathalyzer program that started back in June 2010. Early said, The submarine force has found breathalyzer testing to be a useful component in a multifaceted approach to promoting the responsible use of alcohol. Garcia said that across the fleet there are 108 DUIs that take place each month and that he believes that the random testing will help to curb that trend. We want to create a more safe environment for our Sailors, said Garcia. We want to make sure that when our Sailors are maintaining some of the most advanced technology in the world paid for by taxpayers dollars, that they are fully capable of doing it safely. The breathalyzer testing will not discriminate with any Sailor regardless of rank and no one will be exempt from being tested. The tests will be administered only to Sailors reporting for duty not to those who are returning to their ship or submarine from liberty. Just like with any other type of situation, the commanding officer will always have the discretion to investigate into whether or not the Sailor is fit for duty, and according to Garcia, if

he/she is found to be otherwise then consequences will take place. Secretary Garcia said that he hoped the message that the Sailors in attendance during the All Hands Calls was a positive one that they can carry out to the rest of their shipmates and to the fleet. This is not punitive unlike random urinalysis, this does not resort in automatic administrative processing or NJP, Photo by MCSN Gabriel Bevan said Garcia. This is a GROTON, Conn.

GROTON, Conn. Sailors from Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) utilize the elliptical machines as an alternative to running for the cardio portion of the PRT. Sailors are required to burn as many calories as possible in 12 minutes, and then the calorie count is calculated into a final run time. Of the machines available to Sailors for the PRT, the elliptical is unique. Much like swimming the cardio portion of the PRT, the elliptical trainer challenges Sailors with a full body workout.

SUBASE Sailors participate in spring PRT

By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair and ET3 Derek Lutz

GROTON, Conn. Sailors across Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) swam, ran, utilized stationary bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills to complete the cardio portion of their PRTs. Twice a year Sailors across the Navy are required to participate in a Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), which is used for evaluation, advancement, perform to serve (PTS) and quarterly selection board input. The PFA consists of two portions; First, Sailors weigh-in to ensure they meet proper weight standards set by the Department of the Navy. If a Sailor is overweight, they must complete a Body Composition Assessment (BCA). During BCAs males have their neck and waist measured, while female Sailors have their neck, waist, and hips measured. These measurements determine a Sailors body fat percentage, with a maximum of 22 percent for males and 33 percent for females under 40 years old. For those over 40 the max goes up one percent.

The second part of the PFA is the Physical Readiness Test (PRT), during which Sailors perform curlups, pushups, and a cardio portion to determine their overall physical ability. The 1.5-mile run or 450 meter/500 yard swim are the preferred methods for PRT, however commands may authorize Sailors to use machine trainers for the test. If Sailors are going to utilize the pool or one of the machines as an alternative to running they need to practice that cardio event, said SUBASE Assistant Command Fitness Leader (ACFL), Boatswains Mate 1st Class Shane Murdock. If you walk into the PRT unprepared you are setting yourself up for failure. SUBASE Command Fitness Leader Chief Master-at-Arms David Farnsworth stressed that Sailors need to prepare for the PRT and maintain proper hydration. Hydration is paramount for peak performance. Showing up at the PFA dehydrated is a recipe for injury, said Farnsworth. Secondary

to hydration is flexibility. Proper warm-up and stretching helps to prevent soft tissue injuries. Although many Sailors utilized the dirt track near the SUBASE ballfields or the indoor track at the Morton Hall gymnasium for this PRT cycle, a new safer track is being built near the main gate. The new track and infield will be a huge asset for completing the PFA, said Farnsworth. The synthetic infield will provide a soft surface for the curl-ups/ push-ups and the 1/4 mile running track is perfect for monitoring the cardio portion. Estimated to be completed this summer and be available for PFA Cycle 2, 2012, the new track and infield will be located between the main gate and the current track. The infield will be covered in a material called Spinturf, a form of synthetic turf that is softer and safer than Astroturf. The track will be rubberized with painted lanes, in a 400 meter oval. This track, which is modeled after the one at the Naval Academy, is designed to be superior to the uneven dirt track Sailors at SUBASE are used to.

GROTON, Conn. Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) Command Fitness Leader (CFL) Chief Master-at-Arms David Farnsworth gives Electronics Technician 1st Class (SS) Thomas Graham his final run time after Graham completed the 12-minute calorie burn on the stationary bike.

Farnsworth recommends that Sailors stationed at SUBASE really take advantage of the resources the base offers its Sailors. Shore commands tend to have more opportunities for fitness

than ships and submarines. The opportunities to live a lifestyle of fitness are much greater at a shore command, says Farnsworth, citing not only more space to work

out, but also better food choice and availability. It is essential for all ranks to embrace a lifestyle of fitness that encourages proper diet, exercise and plenty of rest. Fit to fight, hooyah.

Due to inclement weather most of the PRTs where Sailors performed the 1.5 mile run were done at the gymnasium. It takes 11 and a half laps around the indoor track to complete 1.5 miles.

GROTON, Conn. Below, the new outdoor track is scheduled to be completed this summer and will have a rubberized track to lessen the impact on Sailors feet and joints. The track infield will be an artificial tuff called spin turf, which is softer and safer than astro turf.

ny emphasizing the importance of partnerships. Today marks the first time we bring together the whole team of partners as we start this journey together, said Richardson. To mark our dedication, well strike an arc and weld our sponsors initials into the steel that will become one of the most capable warships in the world - extending our undersea superiority for decades. Richardson also emphasized the important role of the ships sponsor during the life of the submarine. I can think of no one better, than her sponsor Ms. Katie Fowler, who has become the heart and soul of this crew, said Richardson. In the tradition of her namesake state, from this moment on, may the North Dakota always be a Peace Garden for our friends and allies, and be like the Rough Riders to those who threaten us. Government officials from Rhode Island and North Dakota also attended the milestone event, as well as a commissioning committee delegation. The May 11 keel laying ceremony for our USS North Dakota marks the first major milestone in the journey of the second U.S. Navy ship to be named after our great state of North Dakota, said Bob Wefald, PCU North Dakota Commissioning Committee chair. As the commissioning chair, Im delighted to be able to attend this ceremony as all of us in North Dakota intend to keep this marvelous submarine and its crew in thoughts and prayers not only in its construction, but throughout its thirty-three years of expected service life, said Wefald. The congressional leadership who attended included Rhode Island Governor Lincoln D. Chafee; Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, of Rhode Island; Sen. John Hoeven, of North Dakota; Rep. Jim Langevin, of Rhode Island; and Rep. David Cicilline, of Rhode island. North Dakotas keel-laying is the submarines first major event since it began construction in 2009. In addition to North Dakotas keel laying, the Virginia-class program will celebrate PCU Mississippis (SSN 782) commissioning in June and PCU Minnesotas (SSN 783) christening in November. Commander Doug Gordon, PCU North Dakotas commanding officer also emphasized the meaning of this event for the shipyard and the crew. Todays keel laying event is not only an important milestone event in the construction phase of North Dakota, but also is a testament to the hard work by our shipbuilding partners and the crew, said Gordon.

honor of North Dakota, will be delivered by General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton and will be the 11th Virginia-class submarine when it is commissioned in 2014. The only other ship to bear the name North Dakota was the Delawareclass USS North Dakota (BB 29), which was in service from 1910 to 1923. Virginia-class submarines are designed to dominate the worlds littoral and deep waters while conducting antisubmarine; anti-surface ship; strike; irregular; and mine warfare missions; as well as support special operation forces; and covert intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

the honor to serve, and to serve with, both ashore and afloat, are truly inspiring. DEVRON 12 represents the heartbeat of

the submarine force and both the experience and the education have been incredibly enriching, said Merz.

Merz added that at no time during his 26 years in the submarine force has he felt more connected to the submarine community.

What else could you ask for? I envy my relief, Capt. Vern Parks. He is just the right officer at just the right time to take over

the helm, and I wish him the best, said Merz. In addition to his role as commodore of DEVRON 12, Merz also served as

chairman of the Submarine Tactical Requirements Group, in which he guided the Submarine Force Acquisition Community, ensuring the Force remained focused and capable of delivering precision warfare technology to the fleet. My role as chairman was to bring together some of the best and brightest of the submarine force to not only learn from them, but to conceptualize how their multi-tasking capabilities can be applied to improve the future of the submarine force, said Merz. Parks, who previously served as commanding officer of USS Santa Fe (SSN 763) and executive officer of USS Helena (SSN 725) is looking forward to taking the helm of DEVRON 12, which is to support the Navys vision of the future by developing and evaluating submarine tactics, both war fighting and forward presence, and disseminating those tactics to the operating forces. I am honored by the opportunity to serve as the commander of Submarine Development Squadron Twelve, supporting the officers and crews of our submarines in all they do and continuing the 60-plus year legacy of my predecessors in tactical development for our submarine force, said Parks. The team that Capt. Merz has led for the past 20 months, has excelled in all areas, and I am looking forward to the future with the outstanding men and women of DEVRON 12. Parks graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science holds a Masters of Business Administration from Brenau University and a Masters of Science degree in National Security Strategy from the National War College.
