MCPON: Summertime, think safety
By MCC(SW/AW)
Sonya Ansarov
Office of the Master Chief Petty
Officer of the Navy
WASHINGTON -
Summertime means fun
in the sun, vacations
and a myriad of outdoor
activities, and the Master
Chief Petty Officer of the
Navy (MCPON) wants
Sailors and families to
think safety first.
Benjamin Franklin
said, An ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound
of cure, and in the case
of summertime, its
worth a pound of safety,
said MCPON (SS/SW)
Rick D. West. Each year
the Navy loses service
members to senseless
and avoidable mishaps,
and the summer season
brings the potential for
increased risk.
According to the Naval
Safety Center, summer
deaths spiked in 2008
then decreased in 2009
and 2010, but unfortu-
nately increased again
last year. In 2011,
between Memorial Day
and Labor Day, 16 Sailors
and 15 Marines lost their
lives. One in an ATV
wreck; three drowned;
three during recreational
activities; 11 in motor
vehicles; and 13 on
motorcycles.
Losing even one Sailor
or Marine is too many,
especially when most
of the incidents can be
avoided with the proper
planning and training,
said West.
Training is the priority
when it comes to motor-
cycle safety. According to
This week in naval history
On July 2, 1945, the Gato Class submarine USS Barb (SS 220) became the first submarine in United States history to employ rockets
as a weapon when the sub bombarded the towns of Shari, Hokkaido; Shikuka, Kashiho; and Shiritoru on Karafuto. Select members
of her crew would later go ashore and destroy a railroad train, earning the sub the title of the only sub to ever sink a train. The Barb
served with distinction during WWII, sinking 17 vessels totaling more than 96,000 tons. The submarine earned eight battle stars,
the Navy Unit Commendation, and Presidental Unit Citation during WWII. During her 11th war patrol, Rear Admiral Eugene Fluckey,
a Commander at the time, expertly led the sub on a daring raid of Namkwan Harbor, inflicting damge to some 30 vessels at anchor.
Fluckey then led the Barb, running at full speed on the surface through heavily mined and rock obstructed waters as the submarine
retired from the battle. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

EFMP: An effective detailing tool
By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn.
Across the spectrum
of the military there are
personnel who have fam-
ily members with medical
issues and special needs,
some of which require con-
stant care and monitoring.
The Exceptional Family
Member Program (EFMP)
was created to ensure that
those needs were met,
without hindering the
service members career
opportunities.
EFMP registration is
required for all service
members with qualify-
ing dependants. However,
required enrollment is not
meant to be limiting to the
service member but rather
supportive, according to
the Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE)
Fleet and Family Support
Center (FFSC) EFMP
Liaison, April Holtmeyer.
The EFMP does not
limit your career, said
Holtmeyer. The EFMP
Family Support function
helps the family discov-
er resources to continue
continuity of care while
the service member main-
tains their sea/shore rota-
tion and can focus on their
job.
Once enrolled in EFMP, a
family can seek enrollment
in Tricares Extended Care
Health Option (ECHO).
ECHO provides a spectrum
of services for qualified
active duty family mem-
bers - up to an additional
36K a year with a small
cost share per month. The
cost share is based on pay-
grade from E1-E3 at 25 dol-
lars a month to O10 at 250
dollars a month. If you do
not use the ECHO funds for
a month, you do not pay
for the cost share for that
month either.
Holtmeyers job as the
FFSC EFMP liaison is to
serve as a steward for
enrolled family members
as they navigate the EFMP,
providing them with case
management, as well as
health care provider con-
tact information both local-
ly and nationally.
I provide non medical
case management through
NFAAS and develop
Individual Service Plans to
help the families of the
EFM feel empowered as
well as keep the service
member mission ready,
said Holtmeyer.
The EFMP is divided into
category brackets to help
classify each EFMs needs
and what that might mean
to where the sponsoring ser-
vice member may seek their
next duty station. Some EFM
categories require little to
no monitoring while other
categories require frequent
visits and the service mem-
ber must be located near the
family for care.
The category brack-
et assigned depends on
the severity of an EFMs
needs, said Hotlmeyer.
This is actually a good
thing as it allows the fam-
ily to live in an area where
therapies and special-
ists are available for the
EFM. This all goes back to
supporting the family to
keep the service bember
mission ready. Currently,
Naval Submarine Base
New London supports the
highest categories - includ-
ing Homesteading.
EFMP enrollment is good
for three years, and must
be updated by the service
member to ensure their
EFM is in the correct cat-
egory and receives the care
needed. Service members
who do not monitor their
EFMs status could incur
problems when negotiat-
ing for orders.
Service members could
find themselves on hold
for orders if their status
is not updated in the sys-
tem, said EFM Military
Treatment Facility (MTF)
Coordinator Kim Bowie
from Naval Branch Health
Clinic Groton. When
detailers assign orders to a
service member, EFM sta-
tus plays a factor in where
they can go depending on
the care available at the
new duty station.
Holtmeyer, who was serv-
ing as an OMBUDSMAN
before being selected for
the EFMP Liaison says she
is excited about her oppor-
tunity to help families
across SUBASE.
It was exciting to be
selected as the candidate
for the liaison position as
I enjoy helping military
families, said Holtmeyer.
I am looking forward to
helping the Sailors and
families of SUBASE.
For information about
the EFMP, you can con-
tact April Holtmeyer at
(860) 694-4378. For EFMP
enrollment questions and
procedures, you can con-
tact Kim Bowie at (860)
694-4918.
The EFMP Family Support function
helps the family discover resources
to continue continuity of care while
the service member maintains their
sea/shore rotation and can focus on
their job.
April Holtmeyer
FFSC to offer family relocation workshops
MCSN Gabriel Bevan
GROTON, Conn.
Moving can be a tax-
ing time for anyone, espe-
cially for military families
and their children; but
on Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE),
the Fleet and Family
Support Center (FFSC) is
setting up tools to make
that transition easier.
FFSC will be hosting
Relocation with Kids
Workshops July 23 from
6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Aug.
2 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.,
at the Anchors Landing
Community Center locat-
ed in Balfour Beatty
Community housing.
On SUBASE, an average
of 177 families move each
month.
April Holtmeyer,
Exceptional Family
Member Program Liaison,
at FFSC is spearheading
the workshop in hopes of
helping these military fam-
ilies with children relocate
to their next commands
with ease.
The work shop will
address family members
seeking tips on how to
manage the transition of
a move with children suc-
cessfully, said Holtmeyer.
The emotional stag-
es of transition will be
addressed as well as the
military student and devel-
oping school portfolios.
Additionally, Holtmeyer
with be facilitating a
pilot, Exceptional Family
Member Networking
Group meeting , July
26 from 9 to 11 a.m. at
the Anchors Landing
Community Center.
The meeting should
allow military families
stationed here on SUBASE
the opportunity to learn
what the workshops are
all about, and additionally
ask whatever questions
they may have about the
topics to be discussed.
Childcare will not be
provided during the work-
shops, however children
are welcome to attend.
For those who are inter-
ested in registering for the
workshop or networking
meeting, contact Holtmeyer
at (860)-694-4378.

Portuguese submarine arrives in Groton
By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg
Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. -
Portugal marked its first
trip to the Submarine
Capital of the World
when it arrived at Naval
Submarine Base New
London in Groton, June
30.
NRP Tridente, a die-
sel electric with air
independent propul-
sion submarine, has
a crew of 33 sailors
and is commanded by
Lieutenant Commander
Bruno Ricardo Amaral
Henriques. Prior to
its arrival in Groton,
Tridente participated in
the multinational Fleet
Training Exercise War
of 1812 (FLEETEX) from
June 19 to 29.
During the FLEETEX
more than 20 ships
and aircraft from the
U.S., Portugal, United
Kingdom, Germany,
Denmark, Norway,
Canada and Brazil par-
ticipated.
Tridente is visiting
Groton to conduct sea
trials. Participation in
both the FLEETEX, as
well as sea trials, allow
the crew of Tridente to
increase their levels of
operating readiness.
We have been plan-
ning the arrival of
NRP Tridente for some
time and look forward
to learning from one
another and sharing tra-
ditions and customs to
strengthen each services
undersea warfare capa-
bilities, said Lt. Cmdr.
Matt Luff, exercise coor-
dinator, Commander,
Submarine Development
Squadron 12.
Cmdr. Mario Pereira,
of the Portuguese navy,
will oversee aspects of
the sea trials and empha-
sizes the opportunity for
training with the U.S.
Navys submarine force.
Although its now
time to focus on this
task that will increase
NRP Tridentes level of
operational readiness,
this partnership between
Portugal and U.S. navies
is an excellent opportu-
nity to evolve together,
strengthening the coop-
eration among friendly
nations that efficiently
use the sea, said Cmdr.
Mario Pereira, head of
Portuguese delegation
for the Submarine Sea
Trials.
After sea trials are
complete, Tridente will
depart Groton for its
trans-Atlantic return to
Portugal.

GROTON, Conn. - The Portuguese submarine NRP Tridente exchanges mooring lines between her crew
and the pier at Naval Submarine Base New London, June 30. Prior to its arrival in Groton, Tridente
participated in the multi-national Fleet Training Exercise War of 1812 (FLEETEX) from June 19 to 29.
Naval Safety Center, motor-
cycle fatalities increased
from six in 2010 to 13 in
2011, which is more than
a 100 percent increase.
Motorcycle training and
safety starts with the com-
mand having a designated
motorcycle safety repre-
sentative (MSR).
Closing the train-
ing gap on motorcycle
safety needs to be top
priority for our leaders,
said West. Personal
motor vehicle accidents
are the second highest
cause of fatalities in our
Navy, and motorcycles
are the primary casual
factor with sports bikes
remaining at the top of
the list. MSRs play an
important role in miti-
gating this risk by men-
toring and educating our
Sailors, and more impor-
tantly, ensuring they are
registered and complete
all required motorcycle
training.
The Naval Safety
Centers summer cam-
paign Live to Play, Play
to Live, also focuses on
alcohol awareness, water
and boat safety, sexu-
al assault, and suicide
awareness, and summer
sports activities.
Fourth of July is just
around the corner so start
planning safety now,
said West. Whether you
are on the highways,
waterways or in the back-
yard, safety must come
first. And if you drink,
dont drive and have a
plan to get home.
When traveling long
distances, remember
to use TRiPS, the on-
line, automated risk-
assessment tool that
helps users recognize
and avoid the hazards
they face on the high-
way: fatigue, not buck-
ling up, and driving too
far. TRiPS is located
at https://wwwa.nko.
navy.mil.
You and your fami-
lies are important to the
Navy, said West. Use
the tools the Navy pro-
vides and remember to
think safety first.
Safety is one of the key
areas of the 21st Century
Sailor and Marine initia-
tive which consolidates
a set of objectives and
policies, new and exist-
ing, to maximize Sailor
and Marine personal
readiness, build resil-
iency and hone the most
combat-effective force in
the history of the Navy
and Marine Corps.

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg
Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - The
families of Sailors assigned
to Los Angeles-class attack
submarine USS Annapolis
(SSN 760) welcomed their
loved ones as they returned
to Naval Submarine Base
New London, June 27, fol-
lowing a regularly scheduled
six-month deployment.
Annapolis departed for
deployment Jan. 3 and con-
ducted maritime security
and theater security coop-
eration efforts in the 5th and
6th Fleet area of operations.
Annapolis steamed more
than 31,000 miles over
the course of its six-month
deployment.
Annapolis is com-
manded by Commander
John Gearhart, a native
of Stillwater, Okla., who
reflected on the performance
of his crew and preparation
required for their deploy-
ment.
The Annapolis team per-
formed superbly through-
out a myriad of complex
tasking and challenging
operational environments,
said Gearhart. This type of
performance could only be
carried out through excep-
tional teamwork, a commit-
ted effort, solid leadership
and a fighting spirit that is
second to none.
Gearhart added that the
pre-deployment training and
maintenance support were
crucial in enabling the crew
to maintain a high state of
readiness throughout their
deployment.
These resources were
judiciously employed to
ensure that the Annapolis
team was very well pre-
pared to support all mission
tasking during our deploy-
ment, said Gearhart.
Annapolis visited the fol-
lowing ports during their
six-month deployment
Bahrain; Jebel Ali, United
Arab Emirates; Toulon,
France; and Souda Bay,
Greece.
Gearhart added that his
crew is looking forward to
reuniting with their fami-
lies, especially prior to the
Fourth of July.
The return from deploy-
ment offers a time to reunite
with loved ones, said
Gearhart. The Annapolis
team is very happy to be
home and ready to stand
down for a few weeks.
Annapolis co-ombudsman
Eva Foxhoven shared her
excitement for the reunion
of Sailors and their families.
I am so excited to be
a part of such a wonder-
ful family as we all gath-
er to welcome home our
Sailors from a successful
six-month deployment,
said Foxhoven. We have
awaited this day for what
seems like an eternity, but
can finally look forward
to reacquainting with our
Sailors and having some
much deserved down time
with them.
While deployed, five
Sailors from USS Annapolis
became new dads. Foxhoven
and her co-ombudsman
Melissa Coers, coordinated
the first kiss and first baby
greetings when the subma-
rine arrived, and also assist-
ed with the second annual
Operation Shower event held
June 19.
Coers a mother of four,
of which three of her chil-
dren are triplets, thanked the
organization for recognizing
expectant mothers from USS
Annapolis.
Operation Shower was
not around when I had my
children, but what a great
experience for our military
spouses that sacrifice so
much, said Coers. Every
day is a day closer to reunit-
ing. That mindset helps all
of us.
Operation Shower provid-
ed showers in a box for 40
expectant and new military
moms, whose spouses were
deployed.
In addition to the return
of Annapolis, the families
of Sailors assigned to Los
Angeles-class attack subma-
rine USS Pittsburgh (SSN
720) welcomed their loved
ones as they returned to
Naval Submarine Base New
London, following a regu-
larly scheduled six-month
deployment.
Annapolis was commis-
sioned April 11, 1992 and
is named in honor of the
capital city in Maryland. It
is the fourth warship to bear
the name of Annapolis.

GROTON, Conn. - The
families of Sailors assigned
to Los Angeles-class attack
submarine USS Pittsburgh
(SSN 720) welcomed their
loved ones as they returned
to Naval Submarine Base
New London, June 27, fol-
lowing a regularly sched-
uled six-month deploy-
ment.
Pittsburgh departed for
deployment in December
2011 and conducted mari-
time security and the-
ater security cooperation
efforts in the 5th and 6th
Fleet area of operations.
Pittsburgh steamed
more than 29,000 miles
over the course of her six-
month deployment.
Pittsburgh is com-
manded by Commander
Michael Savageaux, a
native of Grafton, Mass.,
who reflected on the suc-
cessful deployment.
The crews perfor-
mance has been second
to none, said Savageaux.
The teams flexibility
allowed the Pittsburgh to
absorb numerous shifts
in tasking, and to execute
successfully every time.
Savageaux added that
Pittsburgh has deployed
more since July 2008
than any other ship in
the Atlantic submarine
fleet, completing three full
six-month deployments in
every area of operations in
the world, including the
Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic
and Indian Oceans.
I am proud of your
teams superb execu-
tion of operations vital
to national security.
Pittsburghs efforts sup-
ported U.S. Central,
African and European com-
mands, Vice Adm. John
Richardson, commander,
Submarine Forces Atlantic
said in a naval mes-
sage in which he praised
Savageaux and crew for
their achievements while
on deployment. Your
ability to sustain crew pro-
ficiency and successfully
complete all assigned mis-
sions is validation of your
thorough preparations for
this deployment.
Pittsburgh visited the
following ports during
their six-month deploy-
ment: Bahrain; Jebel Ali,
United Arab Emirates; and
Rota, Spain.
The men take a lot of
pride in our hard-steam-
ing reputation, but it is
always great to be home,
said Savageaux.
USS Pittsburgh ombuds-
man Lauren Bomar echoed
the commanding officers
sentiments on the excite-
ment of the Sailors return
to homeport.
Deployment went very
well for the families of
the USS Pittsburgh, said
Bomar. We are very
proud of the job our guys
did and all they accom-
plished. We are all excited
to have them home and to
see them on the pier.
Bomar also helped to
coordinate the first kiss
and first baby greetings
when the submarine
arrived, also assisted
with the second annual
Operation Shower event
held June 19.
It was amazing being a
part of Operation Shower
this year. Seeing all the
ladies being blessed with
so much was really touch-
ing. It meant a lot to our
new moms and me that
Operation Shower and
their sponsors thought of
the mothers while their
Sailors were deployed,
said Bomar.
Operation Shower pro-
vided showers in a box
for 40 expectant and new
military moms, whose
spouses were deployed.
In addition to the return
of USS Pittsburgh, the
families of Sailors assigned
to the Los Angeles-class
attack submarine USS
Annapolis (SSN 760) also
welcomed their loved ones
as they returned to Naval
Submarine Base New
London following a regu-
larly scheduled six-month
deployment.
Pittsburgh, commis-
sioned Nov. 23, 1985, was
built by General Dynamics
Electric Boat Division, and
is the fourth American
warship to be named for
the city of Pittsburgh.

Wonders and the nonfiction
work Nine Parts of Desire;
her second novel, March,

Tricare unchanged by health care ruling, officials say
By Karen Parrish
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON - The
Supreme Courts ruling
last week upholding the
Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act has
absolutely no impact on
our Tricare program,
a Defense Department
spokeswoman said.
Navy Commander
Lesl i e Hul l - Ryde,
spokeswoman for per-
sonnel and readiness,
explained Tricare is
governed by different
statutes than civilian
health care and is unaf-
fected by the ruling.
TRICARE is the world-
wide health care pro-
gram for uniformed ser-
vice members, retirees
and their eligible family
members.
Tricare remains com-
mitted to providing the
best possible health
care to its more than
9.7 million beneficia-
ries, Hull-Ryde said.
Military members,
retirees and their fami-
lies who have civilian
health care coverage
should contact those
providers directly to
determine how the
courts ruling might
impact their coverage,
she added.
Tri care of f i ci al s
released a statement yes-
terday noting the Tricare
and Tricare Young Adult
programs are authorized
by an independent set
of statutes, and remain
under sole authority of
the Defense Department
and the secretary of
defense.
Tricare provides cov-
erage for pre-existing
conditions, and seri-
ous illnesses; offers an
array of preventive care
services, with no cost
shares; maintains rea-
sonable out-of-pocket
costs, with no or low
deductibles and copay-
ments; and there are no
annual or lifetime caps
on coverage, according
to the statement.
Tricare established
a program for young
adults in May 2011,
as authorized by the
2011 National Defense
Aut hori zat i on Act ,
officials said. Tricare
Young Adult, or TYA,
gives eligible uniformed
services family mem-
bers under 26 who are
unmarried, and not
eligible for their own
e mpl o y e r - s po ns o r e d
health care coverage
the option to purchase
health insurance under
the program.
Tricare officials said
as of May 31, 2012,
more than 17,000 ben-
eficiaries are signed
up for young adult
plans: 11,171 in TYA
Standard, and 6,407 in
TYA Prime.

bers, activated National

Regatta series benefits hospice
Sailors - Come sail away and invite your friends and family to support
you in efforts to raise funds for Hospice Southeastern Connecticuts Regatta
Series now in its 23rd year. All can join this sea-faring adventure if you
are a landlubber, there is still plenty of fun at the race parties hosted by area
yacht clubs along the shoreline all while supporting Hospice Southeastern
Connecticut. Celebrate the intrepid spirit among the 700 sailors our friends
and neighbors who participate in the regatta, and soak in the summer
ambiance.
The Regatta Series will launch July 11 with the Niantic Bay Yacht Club,
Stonington Dinghy Club, and Thames Yacht Club all hosting Wednesday
night races.
The series thrives on the support and organization of a stellar Regatta
Committee chaired by Judy Gibbs of the Thames Yacht Club. I was an
avid supporter of Hospice before I became a sailor. explains Judy, hospice
supporter since 1973 and member of the Hospice Southeastern Connecticut
Regatta Committee since 2001. Now I can support the great work of Hospice
SE CT by doing what I like best, sailboat racing.
The colorful regatta continues July 21, with the Mystic River Mudhead
Sailing Association, for an 11 a.m. Benefit Cup. The Mudheads will host their
MegaParty that evening at 5 p.m., in the Mystic Shipyard, under the Sperry
tent. The ticket price for the MegaParty is $20, and includes food, drinks,
and a gourmet spread by Mystic restaurants as well as dancing to the beat
of the band, Rock N Soul Revue. The fun-filled evening is topped with prize
drawings.
Courtney Moore, and her husband, Toby Halsey, who races his sailboat,
Patriot in the Benefit Cup, were the top fundraisers for last years Hospice
Southeastern Connecticut Regatta Series. When asked why they choose to
support Hospic, they reply Team Patriot continues to race and fund raise
in the Mudhead Benefit Regatta to benefit Hospice Southeastern Connecticut
because of the overwhelming compassion we have seen with the Hospice
volunteers we have had the privilege of knowing during very difficult times.
Knowing that there were people we could lean on was of great comfort to
our entire family.
Socialize and unwind - and savor the last vestiges of summer on the serene
shoreline. With delicious food and drinks, and silent auction items donated
by area businesses, the elegant cocktail party and silent auction hosted by the
Niantic Bay Yacht Club will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 7, at Black Point.
This event is a casual, fun, and fitting end to the festivities that accompany
Hospice Southeastern Connecticut Regatta Series.
