Capt. Caroline M.Olinger, Chief of Staff ofNaval Service TrainingCommand (NSTC), was thekeynote speaker.

OTCN is overseen byNaval Service TrainingCommand (NSTC), head-quartered at Naval StationGreat Lakes, Ill. NSTC man-ages all initial Navy officerand enlisted accessionstraining except for the U.S.Naval Academy (USNA).

OTCN oversees five offi-cer training schools atNAVSTA: Officer CandidateSchool (OCS); the OfficerDevelopment School(ODS); Direct CommissionOfficer IndoctrinationSchool (DCOIC); LimitedDuty Officer and Chief War-rant Officer (LDO/CWO)Academy and the Seaman-to-Admiral (STA-21) school.

Olinger then counted offthe numerous achieve-ments completed by Grayand his staff since the But-ler, Pa., native assumedcommand of OTCN twoyears ago.

“To list all the accom-plishments that the staffmade under Captain Gray’sguidance would take anhour—-not something Iwant to subject all of you to,but it is important that I

highlight some of the mostpositive and lastingimpacts he made on thecommand, and on theNavy,” Olinger said.

Olinger said OTC hasbeen left in the capablehands of Kemper.

“In Captain Kemper youare very fortunate to havean OCS graduate as yournew CO. Captain Kempergraduated just 25 shortyears ago from this finecommand, and his careerhas been highlighted bysustained superior per-formance,” Olinger said.

Kemper, a native of Fes-tus, Mo., was graduatedfrom the Missouri Universi-

Before arriving to OTC,Kemper served as the Com-mander Submarine Force,U.S. Pacific Fleet Represen-tative at Puget Sound NavalShipyard..

“I am grateful and hon-ored to be standing herebefore you and I remain inawe of the opportunitiesthe Navy has afforded me,”Kemper said.

Kemper said he wasinspired to do his utmost toserve, to lead and continuethe mission of OTC to thefuture leadership of the Navy.

Following the awardingof the Legion of MeritMedal to Gray and receiv-ing several letters of com-mendation and apprecia-tion to Gray and his wife,Angela, and two daughters,a passing of the flag cere-mony was conductedmarking an end to Gray’sNavy career as OTC’s Com-mand Master Chief(SW/AW) Matt Anuci, recit-ed “The Watch.”

Navy refocuseson safe drivingBy APRIL PHILLIPSNaval Safety Center Public Affairs

NORFOLK, Va. — TheNaval Safety Center(NAVSAFECEN) offersresources to help managedriving risks.

Fiscal year 2011 was thesafest on record in terms offour-wheel motor vehiclefatalities. Car and truckoperators dida great job ofm a n a g i n gthe risks ofd r i v i n g .H o w e v e r ,m i d - w a ythrough thesecond quar-ter of FY2012,fatalities arein danger ofc r e e p i n gback up.

As of Feb.1, four Sailorshave lost their lives in four-wheel personal motor vehi-cle (PMV) fatalities, com-pared to one at the sametime in 2011. Motorcyclefatality rates are static, withthree so far this fiscal year -the same as last year at thistime.

NAVSAFECEN’s Com-mand Master ChiefDominick Torchia recentlyreleased a “Safety Broad-cast,” a one-page fact sheetoutlining timely informa-tion about various trendingtopics. His most recent cov-ers PMV statistics, risk fac-

tors and resources forimprovement.

“While we made bigstrides in reducing thenumber of four-wheelmotor vehicle fatalities lastyear, this is no time todeclare victory,” saidTorchia. “Be aware of thebiggest risk factors —speed, alcohol, fatigue,ejection and distractions

—and do everything youcan to manage those risks.”

Those risk factors —speed, alcohol, fatigue andejections (lack of seat belts)and distractions (SAFE-D)— account for the vastmajority of motor vehiclemishaps in the Navy andnationwide.

Motorcycle fatalities arealso a continuing concern,with their own set of riskfactors. “Every sport bikerider is required to take theMilitary Sport Bike RiderCourse (MSRC),” Torchiasaid.

By NAVFAC Public Works

Work crews with NAVFACNewport Public Works last Sat-urday removed a chimney lean-ing dangerously away from theside of Naval Station (NAVSTA)Newport’s Post Office, Building1900, on Peary Street. During arecent inspection of the build-ing, it was noted that the gapsbetween the chimney and theexterior wall exceeded 4 inches.

After safety concerns wereaddressed, pallets were placed

over the concrete slab that cov-ers an underground fuel tank.Then a one-inch steel plate wasplaced over the pallets. The crewconfirmed the chimney wascompletely detached from theoutside wall.

The crew then cleared thearea entirely and attached aheavy duty chain to the top ofthe chimney. A backhoe thenpulled down the chimney.

The brick was hauled awayand turned over to Scott Mello,

NAVSTA recycling coordinator.“This is a terrific example of

how our crew is very capable ofworking on unusual projectsand doing it safely/precisely,”said Gary Ferreira, Public WorksManager, Newport. The areawhere the chimney used tostand has been covered up withplywood and is now ready to bevinyl-sided this spring.

NAVSTA Fire Dept. has askedto use some of the old bricks tomake a memorial walkway, Fer-reira said.

From left, Cliff Johnson, Transportation supervisor; Raymond Pinksaw, equipment opera-tor; and Jamie Mickle, Transportation work leader, discuss the success of the job and howthey’ll clean up the bricks left behind.

Jamestown Accountant and Mother of two loses 25 Pounds!

BEFORE AFTER

I lost 25 pounds and 5% body fat in 6 months! I was horrified when Isaw myself in the pictures from our family trip to the Grand Canyon lastApril. Surely, it must be the camera - there was no way that I was that big!My clothes didn’t fit anymore either but I told myself that they must haveshrunk the last time I washed them. I couldn’t be gaining weight, right?WRONG!!

I saw an ad for Get In Shape For Women and decided to give them acall. We set up an appointment for a free trial the next day. When I wentin to the studio, I was given a tour and then we quickly got down to busi-ness. I could barely lift a 10 pound weight and I thought I was going todie on the treadmill. The worst part, though, was when I saw the numberon the scale during the initial weigh-in. Surely that number was wrong!!Knowing deep down that scales don’t lie, I decided right then and therethat I was going to join Get In Shape For Women. That was, by far, thebest decision I have ever made. I lost 12 pounds in the first month andquickly learned that my old exercise routine was not effective at all and myeating habits needed some big changes.

I love Get In Shape For Women! The staff is very knowledgeableabout nutrition. The trainers are excellent - very supportive and encour-aging. I love the fact that the workouts are appointments which can fit intoany busy schedule. I’m in and out in one hour.

NAPS women stop Worcester cagersThe Naval Academy Prep

School women’s basketballteam got a bit of revengelast week against its famil-iar foe, Worcester Academyof Massachusetts.

The Rams lost by 20points to the Hilltoppersonly two weeks earlier, 59-39, in Worcester. Thingswere different the secondtime around in Gym 302,Naval Station Newport,where the Rams won, 51-45.

NAPS worked on its 3 -2zone defense with nontra-ditional responsibilitiesand coverage in practice in

preparation for their oppo-nent’s potent scoringoffense.

“We just wanted to throwsomething different at theHilltoppers to get them outof their offensive rhythm,said head coach KarenByrne. “The first time weplayed them they had sev-eral players in double digitsand we didn’t have anyanswers. This time aroundour defensive strategyproved to be successful aswe were able to hold themway below their scoringaverage with only 45 totalpoints.”

NAPS got off to a quickstart by beating WorcesterAcademy’s full court zonepress. Leading the wayonce again was point guardApril Bernal.

Her efforts help score 11points in the first half. Shealso had some beautifulassist passes inside tocounterpart center, GeannaVerde-Burke. Verde-Burkeadded 9 points from theblocks before the break.

NAPS was up at halftime,24-18.

Worcester Academycame out in the second halfhaving made some adjust-

ments in their offensivesets which enabled them tocut the deficit and take thelead.

The lead changed handsseveral times until NAPSwent ahead for good with afree throw by guard Whit-ney Heer. Bernal had 14 ofher team high and gamehigh 25 points and GeannaVerde-Burke contributed 10points in the second half. Atough and tenacious defen-sive effort by NAPS players,forward, Victoria Spies, andguards, Resfa Latigo andHeer helped gain the victo-ry.

March is Women’s History Month. The first really large-scale employment of women as naval personnel took place to meet the severe clerical shortages of theWorld War I era. The Naval Reserve Act of 1916 had conspicuously omitted mention of gender as a condition for service, leading to formal permission to beginenlisting women in mid-March 1917, shortly before the United States entered the ‘Great War.’ Nearly 600 female yeomen were on duty by the end of April 1917,a number that had grown to over 11,000 by December 1918, shortly after the Armistice. This is the Class of 1918.

changed the law in 1978allowing women to serveon ships.

Women prove assetto U.S. Navy mission

WASHINGTON (NNS) — The Navyjoins the nation in celebratingWomen’s History Month throughoutthe month of March as announced inNAVADMIN 051/12, Feb. 9.

Navy commands are encouraged toreflect on the national 2012 theme,“Women’s Education — Women’sEmpowerment” to increase theirknowledge and awareness of the con-tributions women have made both toU.S. history and to the Navy.

Women have served with greathonor and valor in defense of ournation since the Revolutionary War.However, women did not become anofficial part of the service until 1908,when Congress established the Navy Nurse Corps. Thefirst 20 nurses, called the “Sacred Twenty” broke the bar-riers that eventually paved the way for all women to offi-cially enter naval service.

Nurses remained the only women serving in the Navyuntil World War I, when the Navy’s first enlisted women,known as Yeomanettes, provided clerical support. In 1942,the Navy launched the Women Accepted for VolunteerEmergency Service (WAVES) program, allowing women toserve outside the secretarial realm in an official uniformcapacity.

During World War II, more than 85,000 women servedas WAVES air traffic controllers, artists, bakers, couriers,cryptologists, draftsmen, hospital corpsmen, lawyers,meteorologists, and translators at naval shore commandsacross the nation and overseas. Eighty-one nurses weretaken prisoner by the Japanese in Guam and the Republicof the Philippines during World War II.

Six years later, congressional leaders recognized theneed for women in peacetime armed forces with the pas-sage of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of1948. Opportunities for women in the Navy expandedduring the Cold War era Public Law 90-130 in 1967allowed women the opportunity for promotion to admiralor general.

mation Technology maga-zine, pays tribute to menand women who are shap-ing the future of engineer-ing, science, and technolo-gy.

Rhodes has worked atNUWC since 2002 and isrecognized as a technicalexpert in the area of sub-marine combat systems.He serves as a member ofthe system integrationteam for the AcousticRapid Commercial-off-the-shelf Insertion (ARCI)Program in support of allsubmarine platforms.

Rhodes earned his bach-elor of science in computerscience from North Caroli-na Agricultural and Techni-cal State University andreceived his master’s inengineering systems fromthe Naval PostgraduateSchool.

Diplomacy seen shaping historyBy JOHN KENNEDYNWC Museum Director of Outreach

Words that have shapedthe course of history werethe topic of the Eight BellsL e c t u r egiven byF r e d r i kStanton onFeb. 23 atthe NavalWar CollegeM u s e u m .His latestbook is enti-tled, GreatN e g o t i a -tions: Agreements thatChanged the Modern World,and it looks at eight exam-ples of conflict and diplo-macy, both triumphs andfailures, and presents themin a very understandableand readable way.

Most remember that theFrench joined the Ameri-

can colonists in their fightfor independence. TheFrench sent supplies,money, personnel and afleet. That fleet arrived inNarragansett Bay in August1778. The opening chapterof Great Negotiationsspeaks to the negotiationsthat made that supportpossible as BenjaminFranklin worked his magicon the French Foreign Min-ister Charles Gravier, theComte de Vergennes.

Vergennes initially hadno desire to provoke a warwith England, nor did hewant to support colonistsin a rebellion against amonarchy stating that “thespirit of revolt wherever itappears, is always a danger-ous example.”

Unfortunately for theFrench monarchy, truerwords were never spoken.The French Revolution,

which began in 1789, endedthe monarchy and led tothe establishment of arepublic in 1792.

Other examples from thebook look behind thescenes at the Congress ofVienna that followed theFrench defeat in 1814, thePortsmouth Treaty thatended the Russo-JapaneseWar in 1905, the CubanMissile Crisis of 1962, andthe Reykjavik Summit of1986 between PresidentReagan and Secretary-Gen-eral Mikhail Gorbachev.Each example given in thebook is followed by exten-sive notes and a detailedbibliography for thosewanting to read more onthe topics.

The next Eight Bells Lec-ture will be March 8.Author Elliot Carlson willdiscuss his new book, JoeRochefort’s War: the Odysseyof the Codebreaker who

Outwitted Yamamoto atMidway.

Capt. Joe Rochefort wasthe officer who headed theU.S. Navy’s decrypt unit atPearl Harbor and broke theJapanese navy’s code beforethe Battle of Midway.

All lectures begin atnoon.
