New director joins the team at NASP FFSCStory, photoby Janet ThomasGosport Staff Writer

After tours of duty in Japan and Europe,Pensacola might not seem like the ideal place tosettle down, but Kathleen Doherty said she feltlike she was “home” as soon as she got here.

Doherty, the new director of the NASPensacola Fleet and Family Support Center(FFSC), is a Southern girl at heart – she wasborn in Hattiesburg, Miss., and grew up in NewOrleans – and she loves being back in theSouth.

“Everyone is so nice and so gracious and sowelcoming,” Doherty said. “You forget thatwhen you have not been in the South for awhile. It is inherently Southern.”

Her homecoming journey started with a tripto Pensacola for training, Doherty said. Shepaid a visit to the local FFSC and stopped in tosay hello to her long-time colleague, former

director Bobby Simpkins. Simpkins toldDoherty that she was thinking about retiring,and from that moment on, Doherty had a new

mission in mind.“I said, ‘Bobby, I want your job,’ ” she said.

“ ‘I don't want to kick you out of your job, butif you are leaving anyway, I really want yourjob.’ ”

Doherty had some good reasons for wantingto come here.

“Pensacola, first of all has a great reputationas a center,” she said. “The people who are hereare very experienced, excellent providers, andwherever you are in the Navy, you know thatPensacola is a good FFSC.”

Doherty’s career path has included manyinteresting twists and turns.

She received her bachelor’s degree in psy-chology from Louisiana State University, herdoctorate in psychology from the Universityof New Orleans and got her first real jobworking at the Fleet and Family SupportCenter at the Seabee base in Gulfport, Miss.

Spring ahead this weekend at 2 a.m. ... A sure sign of approaching spring is the annual change from standard to daylight sav-ing time. This time of year, we “spring forward” one hour at 2 a.m. on the morning of March 10. We will stay on daylight time until Nov. 3; interestingly,we now spend about a month longer on daylight time than on “standard” time. – From Naval Oceanography Portal’s Web site, www.usno.navy.mil

DoD recognizes supply analyst for purchase card management excellenceBy Ed BarkerNETC PAO

The Naval Education andTraining Command (NETC)announced March 1 the receipt ofa Department of Defense (DoD)individual contribution award forits Government Purchase Card(GPC) Agency/OrganizationProgram Coordinator (A/OPC).

Joseph Yudiski, NETC supplysystems analyst, was one of twoA/OPCs selected Navywide forthe honor by LeAntha Sumpter,director of Program

Development andImplementation for the office ofthe Under Secretary of Defense.

“The Bureau of Personnel’sGPC program is among one ofthe most challenging programsacross DoD due to its broadscope and limited fieldresources, including all of theNavy’s Reserve Officer TrainingCorps (ROTC) units,” saidSumpter. “As a result of hisexceptional program oversight,outstanding internal controls andaggressive pursuit of timely pay-ments, the Bureau of Naval

Personnel (BuPers) achieved azero percent delinquency rateand zero interest charges overthe past 40 months.”

Yudiski handles A/OPC GPCduties for both NETC andBUPERS; accounts whichprocess nearly $100 million inpurchase card and conveniencechecks per fiscal year. Bothaccounts had zero discrepanciesfor more than three years.

“To handle such a large vol-ume of transactions with zero dis-crepancies is an impressive feat,”said Doug Ebner, the GPC pro-gram manager for the NavalSupply Systems Command.

The image on the left side of the nameplatedepicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss push-er bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan.18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USSBirmingham two months earlier after his planehad been loaded on the ship, the USSPennsylvania event was the first time a planelanded on and then took off from a U.S. war-ship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’smost modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 SuperHornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air StationNews, the name Gosport was adopted in1936.

progress and results of SAPR-F training.“One of the things we realized as our training team briefed the command teams in

the Southeast was the importance of bringing the SAPR training and results backaround to command leadership,” said Lt. Cmdr. Bert Rice, team leader for theSoutheast Region MMTT. “The SAPR leadership and fleet training enables two-waycommunication up and down the chain of command. Respect is important on bothsides, and it is imperative that command leadership is prepared to respond appropri-ately.”

Sexual assault prevention is an important element of the readiness area of the 21stCentury Sailor and Marine initiative, which builds resiliency to hone the most com-bat-effective force in the history of the Department of the Navy.

Doherty from page 1

She transferred to Japan, whereshe served as the family advoca-cy representative at Atsugi andthen fleeted up to FFSC directorat Sasebo.

She returned to the states toserve as the director of theFleet and Family SupportCenter in Newport, R.I., beforeaccepting the director positionat JMF St. Mawgan inCornwall, England. When thatbased closed, she packed theFFSC files and materials into

her household goods andmoved to Souda Bay, Crete,where she established the Fleetand Family Support Center andserved as its sole staff personfor the past three years.

“My career has donedetours, downsides – whatev-er – and I have just been very,very blessed in that every placeI have gone, I’ve learned some-thing or changed my life insome way,” she said.

Doherty joined the staff inPensacola at the end of Januaryand is looking forward to play-

ing a strong leadership role.“I am really passionate about

the work,” she said. “I thinkFFSC is the best place on abase to work and I think all ofthe staff should feel that way.What we do makes a meaning-ful difference in people’s livesand we don’t have to chargeanybody for it. It’s just awe-some. It is a fabulous pro-gram.”

Doherty plans to review pro-cedures and processes, but shedoes not plan to make anyimmediate changes.

“I know that the clients arebeing very well taken care of,”she said. “My new teammates,on average, have been in thesystem as long as I have. Andthey know how to do their jobsand they know how to givegreat services. I just need tostay out of the way and let themdo their jobs, and then let themstretch when they want to startstretching.”

And although she loved hertravels, there is no place like“home.”

“I hope command and staff

here is as happy with me as Iam with being here,” she said.“Because sometimes if feelslike I have been here foreverbecause the environment is sofamiliar. And other times, ofcourse, I feel like I just gothere.”

“Staying on top of policies and procedures while getting purchase card billspaid on time for every one of his 148 subordinate activities is extremelyimpressive and resulted in significant rebates for the Navy.”

Yudiski credits his account managers at the local level for helping him toachieve the success recognized by DoD.

“My assistant program coordinator here at NETC headquarters and all ofthe unit program coordinators in the field work hard to ensure we are on topof all transactions and reconciliations,” said Yudiski. “This award is a com-bined effort, and I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Yudiski’s supervisor, Cmdr. Derek Webster, NETC staff supply/logisticsofficer credits the NETC/BuPers GPC success to not only teamwork, but alsoYudiski’s knowledge and anticipating potential problem areas.

“Joe runs an extremely proactive program; not waiting until problems arisebefore stepping in,” said Webster. “His intimate knowledge of the programallows him to stay ahead of and anticipate problems; solving them beforethey arise. Forty months without any discrepancies is an unprecedentedrecord.”

By Lisa Smith MolinariMilitary Spouse Columnist

To everyday civilians, “the pursuit ofhappiness” typically involves career,home, love, and family. It’s no differentfor military families, with one importantexception: ORDERS.

Unlike their civilian counterparts,active-duty service persons must pursuetheir happiness within the strict confinesof written military orders, which arelengthy documents that appear to bewritten in alien code.

Military orders seem riddled withgibberish, and might be easily replicat-ed as follows: Sit on a computer key-board for about 10 minutes. Onceenough “XXXXXXXXs” and“UUUUUUs” have been typed, printout about 15 pages; staple. Trust me,even the most seasoned Soldier orSailor wouldn’t immediately notice thedifference.

However, buried amongst the seem-ingly nonsensical verbiage are keyphrases such as “Report no later thanAugust 2013” and “Newport, RhodeIsland,” which, although embedded ingobbledygook, are important mandato-ry instructions regarding the next coupleof years in a service person’s life.

We are a Navy family who’s seen ourshare of military orders. Our mostrecent written orders arrived a monthago. Besides “RTTUZYUW” and“UUUU – RHMCSUU” my husband’sorders indicate that this summer, hemust report to a new job at the NavalWar College in Newport.

Our last orders instructed my hus-band to report to Naval Station Mayportin Jacksonville, Fla., in March 2011,and before that to Africa Command,Stuttgart, Germany, in July 2008.Before that Djibouti, East Africa.

Before that Norfolk, Va. Before thatMolesworth, England. Before that,Monterey, Calif. And so on, and so on.

I can’t prove it without the assistanceof an experienced cryptographer, but Ithink that our orders might also containmandates such as “///GET OVER IT///”or “///NO WHINING – YOU’RE INTHE MILITARY///.”

We must follow military ordersregardless of inconvenience or hard-ship, like moving your son before hissenior year, or leaving the church thatyou like so much, or separating youryoungest after she finally made a newbest friend. None of that matters. We areat the mercy of the U.S. Navy.

So why do we continue to let our-selves get ordered around?

In today’s unstable economic cli-mate, one might think that mere jobsecurity is what motivates military fam-ilies to keep following orders, and withall the news of “fiscal cliffs” and“sequestration” there is some truth tothis.

However, regardless of job security, adeep attachment to a military culturedevelops. With each successive move,military families not only become moreresilient, but also cultivate a strong iden-tity and pride in their unique lifestyle.Believe it or not, we become so accus-tomed to being ordered to go some-where new, we often look forward to itafter being in one place for a couple ofyears.

I must admit, I’ve wondered if ouraffection for military life might be atwinge of Stockholm syndrome. Ormaybe it’s rooted in fear of what’s onthe outside, like long-term prisonerswho are afraid to be released.

Truly, I know our affinity for thislifestyle is rooted in honor, duty,courage, loyalty, patriotism and sacri-fice for others. These concepts havebecome muddled in today’s society, sowe feel fortunate to raise our children ina military environment where thosevirtues are emphasized. We live andwork with other military families whohave a common understanding of goodand evil, right and wrong. We don’t needa permanent hometown – it’s the similarsense of values and camaraderie with fel-low military families that make us feel athome.

No doubt about it: non-military fami-lies are fortunate to put down roots in oneplace where they can make close friend-ships and foster stable school, family andcommunity ties. They might not under-stand how a family like mine could behappy about moving to Rhode Islandafter less than two years in Florida.

But we are happy about our ninthmove in 20 years, because it’s part andparcel of our military lifestyle. To quote acommon saying which adorns many aSailor’s front door, “Home is where theNavy sends us.”

Navy combats suicide ratewith extensive prevention programs

According to officials atNAS Pensacola, several Navyprograms are being used toattack the issue. Chaplains,Navy medical, Fleet andFamily Support Centers andsuicide prevention coordinators(SPCs) are taking a well-coor-dinated approach to save lives,said Naval Air TechnicalTraining Center (NATTC)Command Chaplain Lt. Cmdr.Jeff Bornemann,

“This is the best suicide pre-vention program I have seen inthe Navy. It is the most aggres-sive and progressive preven-tion program the Navy has everseen,” he said.

Bornemann has worked withsuicide prevention programsduring the past 14 years andwas among the first chaplainsto be sent to the Navy NuclearPower School in Charleston,S.C., where he helped elimi-

nate an epidemic suicide rate oftwo to three a year. NASPensacola has the Navy’s sec-ond largest training command,the NATTC alone has 3,000Sailors at one time (15,000 ayear), with an average age of19. Males between the ages of18-24 have been identified tobe the highestrisk age groupof suicidecases, makingit the thirdhighest causeof death in the Navy. Statisticsshow that the majority of sui-cide victims have not beendeployed to combat, indicatingthat deployment into combatzones is not the stressor onemight think. Instead, theexperts blame it on socialissues.

“The increase in suicides is asocietal problem,” Bornemann

said. “Our Sailors are a directslice of Americana.” He notedthat most of the young Sailorshave just left home and arequickly transitioned into anadult military career. As aresult, they become highlystressed and are among thehighest risk to commit suicide.

Bornemann explained themindset process of how indi-viduals reach the point ofwanting to end their lives.

“Suicide rarely happensspur-of-the-moment, but isinstead a long deepeningdepression that gets to a pointthat an individual loses all hopeto live,” he said.

He went on to cover thethree phases associated withsuicide victims: Ideations,gestures and attempts.Ideations occur when an indi-vidual is unhappy with theirlife and becomes deeplydepressed with themselves.Gestures include the mentalthought of harming oneself,and considering how onewould do it. Attempt is the last

stage andincludes theact of physi-cally carryingout the ges-ture, whether

it is successful or not. Bornemann said,

“Committing suicide is an actof desperation, people don’tjust want to kill themselves; ittakes a long time to adapt tothe idea. This is why it’s soimportant for bystanders,chaplains and SPCs to identifythe signs and report them.”

Navy Fleet and Family

Support Centers also workclosely to prevent suicides.Angela Smith, NAS Pensacolawork and family life special-ist, said that the Navy startedits suicide prevention programin 1998. Today, every com-mand has its own active-dutySPC trained to assist individu-als with an intrapersonal con-flict. The Navy also has twogeneral military training(GMT) programs that areadministered annually toincrease suicide awarenessand intervention measures.Ask-Care-Tell (ACT) is a sui-cide prevention programintended to educate Sailors onhow to identify the signs asso-ciated with unstable ideations

and how to handle the situa-tion without degrading theindividual. The second pro-gram is the BystanderIntervention Act. This pro-gram works to make Sailorsaware of the issue and toremove the stigma with com-ing forth and admitting thatthey or a shipmate may havesuicidal ideations. Intern, heircareer will not be in jeopardy.If the SPC feels the individualneeds further assessment andtreatment, the patient is thentransferred to Navy medicalwhere the appropriate diag-noses and attention is given.

“The programs are there,”Smith said. “The key is toremove the stigma associatedwith having suicidal ideations.To instill the philosophy thateveryone should take theresponsibility of becoming afirst responder by referringtroubled individuals to theappropriate resources.”

External signs of suicidalvictims can be identified withthe acronym “IS PATHWARM,” which stands forideation, substance use, pur-poselessness, anxiety, trapped,hopelessness, withdrawal,anger, recklessness, moodchanges.

If anyone you know isexhibiting any of these signs,don’t hesitate to mention it toappropriate sources.

Friends and family membersneed to be aware of the signs.“Committing suicide is an act ofdesperation – people don’t justwant to kill themselves; it takes along time to adapt to the idea,”NATTC Command Chaplain Lt.Cmdr. Jeff Bornemann (above)said. “This is why it’s so impor-tant for bystanders, chaplainsand SPCs to identify the signsand report them.”

Military sources recentlyannounced that therewere 349 suicides among

U.S. troops in 2012; more than the295 troops lost than in Afghanistanthat same year. The Navy alone lost60 shipmates to suicide last year andis doing all it can to combat the issue.

CNO on operational risk management

From Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert,Chief of Naval Operations

Leaders, it is incumbent upon all ofus to thoroughly consider how wewill safely and successfully accom-plish our missions, even as we facefiscal uncertainty. There is potentialfor significant fiscal challenges head-ing into the remainder of FY13 andthrough the next year. We are makingplans to deal with these financialshortfalls. Leadership will be key tomanaging these changes while mini-mizing risks to our force and to ourmission.

It's time to think – to be efficient and effective.Part of our culture and heritage is that we are a

“can-do”organization; one committed to overcom-ing overwhelming obstacles with innovation andresourcefulness. We admire individuals or unitsthat can persevere through adversity and austerity,and we count on our Sailors, civilians and families

to rise to the challenge.These traits are our legacy – in our

DNA. However, it is equally imper-ative that we think through ouractions and manage the risk appro-priately during these challengingtimes – operational risk management(ORM) must be a fundamental ele-ment of any undertaking.

Many of us have wit-nessed unfortunate ortragic mishaps wheregood people with thebest intentions weretrying to accomplish a

mission assigned to them withouttaking the time to practice ORM.

Typically, someone knew a cornerhad been cut, a regulation wasbypassed, or inadequate training hadoccurred. Yet, they pushed ahead because theyperceived leadership wanted to “get the job done atany cost.” it is our job to be in front of an event.

We know people will instinctively attempt to domore with less, and we must prevent that determi-nation from becoming perilous.

“Be ready” means “be safe.” We will only exe-cute missions with the proper training, resources,and safety measures. For the activities we will stilldo, we must ensure the proper ORM training,resources, and/or safety measures are applied.

Leaders at all levels need to see the look onthe face of the chief, pilot, conning offi-

cer, or rig captain and intervene whenwe are pushing too hard.

I rely on you to be bold andaccountable and, when required,say “no” when sailors and unitshave reached their safe limits.

I charge each of you to use yourgood judgment and integrity, honed

through years of experience, to pre-serve boundaries that will prevent the

loss of life, injury, or equipment failure. Withyour leadership, we will complete our missionssafely and remain the finest Navy in the world.

Interviews focus on women in naval aviation

Ryley, who was born inDeKalb, Ill., said her interest inflying started at an early age.

Her father took a job workingfor Air America in Taiwan whenshe was 3 years old.

“We loaded the whole familyup and we flew to Taipei,Taiwan,” she said. “So I thinkthat is actually a part of the start-ing point of my love of aviation.”

She got to explore the Far Eastin all types of aircraft and tookseveral flights back to the UnitedStates before the family movedto Colorado when she was 9.

She also was encouraged topursue her dream to fly by hermother, who had her privatepilot’s license.

Ryley faced some challengeson the path to getting her wings.

She wanted to go to the AirForce Academy, but she ran intosome academic problems in herjunior year. She attended sum-mer school to improve hergrades and was nominated toWest Point, but she did not getaccepted.

Ryley decided to enlist in theArmy for a three-year tour as anelectronic warfare, signal intelli-

gence analyst. The first two yearsshe was stationed in Fort Polk,La., and then she volunteered togo to Korea for a year.

When she got out of the Army,she was accepted at theUniversity of Colorado Boulder.But she still wanted to fly andshe remembers telling her moth-er, “I think it would be really neatto land planes on ships.” So shetalked to Navy Reserve officialsat the university, and they gaveher a full scholarship.

“I got my commission,” shesaid. “And I got to live mydream.”

Ryley completed her academ-ic training at NAS Pensacola,and moved to Whiting Field tofor T-34 training before beingselected for the Grumman C-2Greyhound and carrier aviation.

“From there, at that time, wewould go over to Corpus Christifirst,” she said. “So we were thefirst class at that time to go fly theT-34 out of Corpus Christi.”

Then she came back toPensacola to complete carrierqualifications.

Ryley has vivid memories ofspecial moments such as com-

pleting her first carrier landing onthe USS Forrestal (CV59) andgoing through survival training.

“I learned to eat cactus ...caught a snake and had that,” shesaid. “It was very thrilling, andMcDonald’s fries tasted reallygood when we got back fromthat adventure.”

Because the combat exclusionlaw was still in effect when shewas in training, Ryley ended upin fixed-wing C-2s. Other planesshe has flown include theLockheed C-130 Hercules andthe Boeing C-40 Clipper and shewas the commanding officer ofVR-61, a C-9 squadron at NavalAir Station Whidbey Island, inWashington State. She also gotthe chance to serve as the assis-tant director for the 2011Centennial of Naval Aviation.

She is happy with how thingsturned out.

“Fixed-wing logistics wassuch a perfect fit,” she said. “For

me, the people, exploring, theinteractions, it has been so grati-fying. Naval aviation, no materwhat platform you fly, is such adynamic environment. It isalways changing.”

In many of the squadrons shewas attached to Ryley was theonly female officer and aviator.She said she never felt out ofplace, however, dealing with thepress was difficult.

“The media would come inand they would ask the questionsand they would try to sensation-alize or find the bad part, and youknow when they came into asquadron and I was the onlyfemale there, I was the one theywanted to talk to,” she said.

Her attitude worked in herfavor, Ryley said.

“I remember early on, when Iwas like in primary training orsomething like that, one of theguys came up to me and said,‘You know Tam, you are just oneof the guys with curves.’ Andthat was so awesome, that was sowhat I wanted to be. I didn’twant there to be issues. I didn’twant guy’s wives and girlfriendsto worry about us going ondeployment or detachment, so Ihad great relationships with theirspouses and girlfriends. So I

think the media portrayed it andpulled out pieces that it was notnecessarily a real reflection ofwhat we had.”

Ryley said she is grateful forall of the help she received alongthe way.

“You know, you have instruc-tors in the airplane and then youhave those people who instructyou in being an officer in theNavy,” she said. “So to all ofthose, I guess at this stage of thegame, I say thank you, becausethere is no way that you can getto the rank of captain or above, Icouldn’t, without the help of boththe instructors who taught me tofly and those people who men-tored me and took me under theirwing.”

In the future, Riley hopes toreturn the favor by being a men-tor for young women. She is amember of EAA, an aviationgroup based in Oshkosh, Wisc.,and she has participated in a highschool mentoring program fortwo out of the last three years.

“I think right now my passionis honestly making sure thatyoung girls and women out thereknow that they can do this,” shesaid.

She wants to be able to showthem the path, show them theopportunities and let them maketheir choices and live theirdreams too.

“My hope is I can excite otherwomen, other girls to followtheir dreams to do what theywant to do,” she said. “And ifpeople are telling you no, youknow persevere. Stick with it.Don’t turn around at the firstdoor. As they say, a window isopen somewhere and they canprobably shimmy through a ventthat is over on the side and makethose dreams happens.”

Capt. Tami Ryley wentthrough flight training inPensacola in 1990. Currently,she is director of the StrategicPlanning Division at the Officeof Chief of Navy Reserve(OCNR).

Exercise Citadel Shield at NASWFStory, photoby Jay Cope NASWF PAO

A disgruntled employee walksinto work one morning with ahandgun and proceeds to injureand kill his co-workers during anshooting spree that lasts only afew minutes before six people,including the shooter himself, are“dead.” Whether calling it “goingpostal” or a serial shooting, it isthe kind of scenario that securityforce personnel dread, which isthe reason it is so important totrain for exactly such a potentialhazard.

Naval Air Station WhitingField’s (NASWF) training teamexecuted such a mock develop-ment Feb. 21 to test the responsecapability of the security forceteams to an active shooter sce-nario. The drill was part of thebase’s annual work-up for theNavywide exercise Citadel Shield.

During the two-week drilltime frame, NASWF performedtwo separate drill packages toactivate and train the various ele-ments of its active duty, contract

personnel and auxiliary securityforce teams. The first, held Feb.20, was a nonviolent protest atthe east gate. The drills focusedon initial responses to the poten-tial threats, communications toappropriate points of contact(regional operations center,emergency dispatch, command-ing officer, etc.) and properadministrative response. Thescenarios met seven of the eighttraining objectives issued byCommander, Naval InstallationsCommand. The final objectivecould not be completed as itfocused on harbor activities thatNASWF does not have.

While such drills never go offperfectly, according to WhitingField’s training officer RudyMendiola, they serve a valuabletraining function in helping peo-ple learn from their mistakes.

“(These drills) are how weimprove our processes,” he said.“The lessons learned we gener-ate are the most important aspectwe get from our training oppor-tunities.”

Both drills centered on the dis-content generated by the tense

negotiations ongoing with thebudget situation. During the Feb.20 drill, 14 “protesters”approached the gate, angry aboutpotential cutbacks in spendingand civilian furloughs. Gatesecurity was forced to requestadditional assistance and ulti-

mately the base’s auxiliary secu-rity force was activated to securethe gate. The non-violent protest-ers dispersed shortly afterward.

The active-shooter drillinvolved a civilian employeewho was convinced he wasgoing to lose his job and his

despondency resulted in bring-ing a semi-automatic pistol intowork and using it on otheremployees in the operationsbuilding. The security force,using polyurethane “blue gun”training pistols, cleared thebuilding room by room search-ing for the shooter and survivors.Brian Belcher, who played theshooter, “shot” five people untilcornered by a security teamwhen he shot himself.

The drill packages utilize real-world events in the planning toensure the scenarios presented tothe responders are as realistic aspossible. It is important thatwhen they report to the scene ofan incident that the confrontationis one that could actually happen,although everyone involvedhopes it never does. Preparingfor the unlikely is a vital part ofkeeping the teams sharp.

“We use these events to helpus identify shortfalls in our train-ing and where we need to focusin future drills,” Mendiola said.“Continuous training is impor-tant in keeping a team that is pro-fessional in its execution.”

ITT: A chance to travel is at your doorstepBy Jay CopeNASWF PAO

It would be hard to imagine signing upfor the Navy lifestyle without a desire tosee and experience new things. Travelingto exotic locations is part and parcel ofserving in the maritime military and wasembodied for years in the slogan, “TheNavy, it’s not just a job. It’s an adventure.”

So even while stationed at Naval AirStation Whiting Field, the footloose urgeto see what lies beyond the horizon stillneeds to be satisfied – and theInformation, Tickets and Travel (ITT)office can help you do just that.

As part of the Morale, Welfare andRecreation office at the base, ITT offersa host of options to help patrons experi-ence that weekend getaway, romanticexcursion, or even the annual family trip.From cruises, to island resorts, to fantas-tical amusement parks, or even the ideallocal retreat, ITT has the means to help.

While that doesn’t mean ITT is a trav-

el agency, there are a lot of similarities inthe products the office offers. Thebiggest difference is simply the fact thatITT is not a money making venture.Travel agencies, while helpful, are inbusiness to make a profit. ITT ManagerMarcy Allen stresses that after expenses,any profit is placed back into the MWRgeneral operating fund.

“Cyndi (Cynthia Myers) and I bothlove what we do for our military. Weprovide a service for our customers andwe work to support the base and the ten-ant commands,” she said. “We wantthem to know we have the informationthey need and we want to help them withevery aspect of their travel opportuni-ties.”

Allen and Myers have been a team fornearly a year and a half now, and Allensays it is a huge difference from whenshe started the office solo about fouryears ago. When she first started, theoffice was pretty much limited to sellingdiscounted tickets to local and state ven-

ues. Working to expand her contacts,Allen began attending tourism and ven-dor specific functions to network intohotel reservation contracts, cruise oppor-tunities and flights.

The end result is a full-service officethat still tries to give a personal touch.

“We have to be up on everything. Wearen’t just tickets. We aren’t just travel,but we are also information,” Allenemphasized. “Students may only be herefor a short time before they class-up, andwe need to be able to help them learnwhat there is to do in the area. We wantto be able to provide that one-to-one facetime that helps make their experiencesmore personalized.”

It seems to be working. The yearlysales when she started was only $17,000and it was all in tickets. Now the ITToffice is up 60 percent in sales per year,commission is up 70 percent andprofit/loss is up 40 percent. That doesn’tmean that the office has reached its peakyet. Allen is still trying to make inroads

toward selling full-service tours throughseveral of the travel companies that spe-cialize in such products.

The main reason to use ITT is prettysimple – cost. ITT maintains severalcontracts with tourism companies thathelp provide a lower price than what canbe obtained online. Additionally, theykeep track of military specials providedby the various agencies and can clue youin to the best options. Finally, Allen andMeyers have access to industry web sitesthat individual travel planners cannotcheck. Combined with their enhancedknowledge of working within the field,they are an invaluable resource as mem-bers of the base and tenant commands tryto arrange their recreation time.

“Our biggest challenge is educatingpeople on what we can do for them,”Allen said. “There are a lot of opportu-nities in the programs we have to offer.We are willing to go the extra mile forour customer to make this the best ITTfor its size that it can be.”

Patrolmen Rick Chambers (front) and Todd Martin advance quicklythrough the bottom floor of the operations building Feb. 21, as theysearch for the “active shooter” during the Citadel Shield drill at NASWhiting Field. The two members of the security team on the basesearched room by room until they found the simulated assailant.

March:AmericanRed Cross

Month

The American Red Cross wascreated in 1881 by Clara Bartonand officially chartered byCongress in 1900 to providenational and international reliefduring disasters, and to give reliefto the military and serve as a meansof communication between mem-bers of the armed forces and theirfamilies.

From the beginning, people inthis country have volunteered anddonated funds to support the RedCross in its mission to providerelief to victims of disaster and helppeople prevent, prepare for and

respond to emergencies.In 1943, President Franklin D.

Roosevelt proclaimed the first RedCross Month in support of RedCross fundraising efforts to respondto needs brought on by World WarII. Since that time, every president,including President Barack Obama,has designated March as Red CrossMonth.

Today, the American Red Crossresponds to nearly 70,000 disastersa year, providing shelter, food,emotional support and other neces-sities to those affected. Through aworldwide network, the American

Red Cross provides 24-hour sup-port to members of the military,veterans and their families – in warzones, military hospitals and onmilitary installations around theworld. Red Cross Blood Servicescollects and distributes more than40 percent of this country’s bloodsupply. And, more than 9 millionpeople across the United Statesreceive American Red Cross train-ing in first aid, water safety andother skills every year.

Thanks to the generous supportof people in this country, theAmerican Red Cross is able to

mobilize to help people in need.The Red Cross is not a governmentagency, but relies on donations oftime, money and blood to do itswork.

Public generosity helps providelife-changing and often lifesavingservices down the street, across thecountry and around the world.

Show your support during RedCross Month because moments ofhope are made possible by peoplelike you.

Gary Sinise donated 17American Airline tickets to thePearl Harbor Initiative, whichallowed six Pensacola area PearlHarbor survivors to go back toPearl Harbor, Hawaii, inDecember 2011.

Three of the survivors got thechance to meet and thank Sinise inperson recently at a Lt. Dan Bandconcert at Hurlburt Field in FortWalton Beach.

Sinese played Lt. Dan in themovie “Forest Gump” and he isone of the stars of “CSI:NY.”

The 2011 trip was chronicled ina documentary, “Pearl Harbor,One Last Goodbye.”

Initiative founders HollyShelton and co-founder retired Lt.Col. Bill Phillips organized andraised funds for the one-time ini-tiative, which allowed these herosfrom the “greatest generation” tosay one last goodbye to their fall-en comrades.

DVD copies of the documen-tary can be purchased for $24.95in Pensacola at Joe Patti Seafood,Wings Pensacola, Wings andThings, NAS Lighthouse and atwww.pearlharboronelastgoodbye.com or www.watkinsvideo.com.
