The launch of the new school meal program (SMP) at David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) schools has led to confusion among some parents and students regard-ing what is covered and the prices for additional food.

The program, which became effective on the first day of school, is an online program in which parents can add money and track meals their child is purchasing at lunch. Many parents have expressed confusion over what is subsidized and how much meals are, so the SMP representatives clarified.

“The prices that your child pays for lunch is based on whether they are elementary age or middle/high school students,” the announcement said. “The USDA subsidizes only one meal per student a day.”

The subsidized price for elementary students is $2.40 while middle and high school students pay $2.55.

According to the SMP representatives, the USDA will continue to subsidize free and reduced meals, meaning parents who qualify for reduced lunch pricing will pay $.40 per meal per child.

“A child also has the option to purchase additional complete and partial items,” the announcement said.

- A full additional meal for an elementary student is $4.- A full additional meal for middle and high school

students is $5.- Additional entrées are $2.- Individual white milk is $.40.- Individual chocolate milk is $.50.“Teachers and parents pay the same price as the

middle and high school students for the standard meal at $5 and have the option to purchase a Spanish lunch at $6,” the announcement noted. “The Spanish school meal option is only available to adults and high school students.”

Do you feel uncomfortable talking about suicide? Most of us do. It has long been the elephant in the room that many see but don’t want to talk about.

Suicide needs to become a regular topic of discus-sion, and we need to stop waiting until someone actually commits suicide before we start talking about it. Many end up going into damage control mode after the fact. Why can’t we do damage control before a suicide?

Honestly, after a suicide happens there is always go-ing to be more talk and questions such as: “When was the last time training was done?” and “Why didn’t we see this before it happened?” or “We need to make sure we get everyone trained, right now so we get our numbers up.” This is not a bad thing, because we need to talk about suicide after it happens, too. We need to make sure we have been doing the right thing, and we need to make sure we talk to people after the fact, because just talking about it often makes us feel better and allows us to more easily cope with the situation.

The truth is, some people are going to commit suicide no matter what you do to try and stop it. The determina-tion and will power of the human spirit can be unstop-pable sometimes. But, we can never allow ourselves to think that we can’t stop it.

It is our duty to know and recognize the signs. Have you ever heard anyone say, “He told me not to tell anyone, and I didn’t want to betray our friendship, so I didn’t tell anyone. Now he is dead, and I have to live with that forever?" Wouldn’t you rather have your friend be alive and a little mad at you for telling someone as opposed to him or her being dead and you having no choice but to live with that burden for the rest of your life? You can apologize to your friend while he or she is alive, but it’s obviously too late if they kill themselves.

Don’t be selfish, remember that that person is someone’s daughter, sister, mother or brother, son or father. Why should you keep that secret? If your friend commits suicide, their family is going to be forced to deal with the loss, too! ACT!

Did you know in the military the number of suicides surpassed the number of combat-related deaths in 2012? There were 348 suicides and 280 combat-related deaths.

Statistically speaking the services have a lower suicide rate than the national average, but we can and need to do better.

We only need to bring up the subject and someone will help carry on the conversation.

I recently conducted training on suicide awareness with the CPO 365 first class petty officers during our weekly training. I wanted to talk about suicide, not pres-ent a PowerPoint to show numbers or do the same old online training that many do every year and risk losing anyone’s attention. The intent was to keep an eye-to-eye conversation. We rolled straight into a six-minute compelling video of Chief Petty Officer Jeromy Kelsey who tells his story of attempting suicide back in 2002 when he was a second class petty officer (video is avail-able online, search “Jeromy Kelsey suicide attempt”). After the completion of the video, I asked people to share their experiences with suicide events, attempts or what they knew about suicide and how it affects all of us. It was a simple approach that I received good feedback on, because I wasn’t trying to talk to them from my se-nior chief perspective. I was talking to human beings and I wanted them to view me as a human being. Get them relaxed and they will talk. I don’t consider myself doing anything special in this event, I just decided to step out of the structured military way of training and

reach out to them. Get creative. Chaplains are a great resource to tap

into along with the Fleet and Family Support Center and Naval Hospital Rota as well as the chain of command.

Team Rota 1. The moving process for Rota is awesome! Our Supply

team and the Household Goods professionals are really on point. The team they use for packing us out and unpacking us when we arrive is about the best I have seen for military moves in my 18 years in the Navy. Thanks team for making moving to and from Spain a little smoother.

2. The Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Deci-sions (CSADD) continues to do great things. Another successful Barracks Bash recently (with a lot of help from Morale, Welfare and Recreation) went down. This past 12 months, the Navy has seen a 51 percent decrease in alcohol-related incidents. Team Rota's CSADD is doing their part to ensure Rota keeps our numbers low and helps us

"Keep what we've earned."3. Welcome aboard our new Executive Officer (XO) Cmdr.

Tim McGarvey. Thank you to our outgoing XO (not too far since he is moving to Operations Department) Cmdr. Patrick Moran. Thanks for your dedication and hard work for the Fleet, Fighter and Families of Team Rota this past year and a half.

4. Our uniform shop and NEX team are rock stars of the month for me. We had a ship pull in last minute with nine Chief selectees that needed a full new sea bag and everything tailored so they could head back to sea within six hours of pull-ing in. Not only did team NEX do it, they made it look like they had been waiting for the call all week. They made it look easy. Thanks guys.

5. We have a great group of retirees on this base. Some work next to you every day. Some get to the base every once in a while for a meeting or to volunteer. Take a moment to hear

their stories and thank them for their service. 6. Speaking of history, we will soon celebrate the 60th anni-

versary of our partnership with Spain aboard Naval Base Rota. On Sept. 26, there will be a pass and review at the piers around 6 p.m. with a concert to follow at 8 p.m. near the pier Fleet Recreation Center. Please come out and show your support.

7. We are seeing too many Americans (teenagers) not wear-ing the required personal protective equipment (PPE) for scoot-ers. No bare legs and arms! Parents we need you to help. I know the rules for Spain can be different on this subject, but the base rules for U.S. personnel require long sleeves, pants, closed-toed shoes and gloves with helmet. Let’s keep our Team safe.

8. NFL Football is back! If you are looking for a place to watch your favorite team, if AFN isn't showing it, head to La Plaza on Sundays. They have the NFL package and some free wings just prior to kickoff. No better way to spend a Sunday evening than with some friends watching football!

9. This month is Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. If you know of someone who is struggling with depression or if you are, please seek out a Shipmate, a Chaplain, FFSC coun-selor or a medical professional. All our team members, military and civilian, friends and family, are too important to us to lose.

10. As I write this it is Sept 11th. For my generation it is the "Date that will live in infamy." Never forget!

HOOYAH! CMC

Tornadoes are one of Mother Nature's most feared, and fascinating phenomena. They can strike anywhere, anytime and with devastating and deadly force. Tor-nadoes can cause destruction in a path that stretches for miles, destroying neighborhoods or taking a life in a matter of seconds.

Predicting when and where a tornado will develop is difficult, so it's important to be prepared. If you find your-self in its path, seek shelter immediately. If you're inside a building, go to an interior room, preferably one with no windows. Avoid shopping malls, theaters, gymnasiums and other buildings with large open interior spaces where the roof might easily collapse.

If at home, go to an inside room, without windows, on the lowest floor or hunker down in a hallway, bathroom or closet closest to the center of your home. This will pro-vide the best protection. Stay away from outer walls and building corners, and do not waste time opening windows.

Having a family communications plan and a well-prepared emergency kit can ensure you're better prepared to cope during and after an emergency. In the event of a tornado or other natural disaster, tune in to American

Forces Network television or radio station (102.5 FM) for updates and weather alerts.

Each year America's Armed Forces recognize Sep-tember as Suicide Prevention Month.

For 2013, Navy is focusing on the importance of com-munity and self-purpose when dealing with adversity, officials announced in NAVADMIN 212/13.

The theme of this year's Navy Suicide Prevention (SP) Month is "Thrive in Your Community," encour-aging Sailors to work together as commands, units, installations or other groups to contribute to a project of their choice that benefits others. Participation is not mandatory, and there is no minimum for engagement. Sailors can work together to do something positive for their commands or installation or get involved in their local communities. Family and civilian engagement is

encouraged. "While we don't often think of it this way, suicide pre-

vention actually happens every day at the deckplate, in our neighborhoods, even in our own homes," said Capt. Kurt Scott, Navy Resilience chief. "When we do small things that make a difference to those around us, we may not realize the effect we're having on others' lives or our own," Scott said. Navy seeks to promote unity and cohesion in this context to emphasize the positive impacts of seeking help; Sailors that are willing to help others may be more willing to receive it when needed.

Throughout the month, resources will be released on http://www.suicide.navy.mil. Suicide Prevention Month is intended to guide discussion on stress navigation, comprehensive wellness, and a sense of community

─ all protective factors against suicide. The website also houses ideas and guidance for "Thrive in Your Community" engagements for any command environ-ment. Command suicide prevention coordinators will also be available to help organize local efforts. Sailors are encouraged to send details and/or photos of their September events to [email protected] to be shared with the fleet on the SP Month website and Navy Operational Stress Control social media.

"Navy's efforts to help Sailors better navigate their stress are an all hands evolution, all of the time. These initiatives extend far beyond September and serve as a launch pad for yearlong local efforts to build resilience and unit cohesion, promoting a Navy-wide culture sup-portive of seeking help," said Scott.

U.S. Naval Hospital Rota (USNHR) will be starting their 2013 - 2014 influenza or “flu” vaccination program soon.

Influenza continues to be a significant cause of illness and death in the U.S. Each year in the U.S., influenza results in more than 25 million reported cases, 150,000 hospitalizations and 24,000 deaths. Annual vaccination against influenza remains a highly effective measure against serious illness caused by the flu. The influenza virus is unstable and new strains are constantly emerg-ing, which is why it is important to receive the flu vaccine every year.

Influenza historically has been a major cause of illness in military operations and it continues to be so. All active duty and reserve component personnel are required to receive vaccinations against influenza every year. Certain civilian employees, mainly healthcare workers in direct patient care and emergency essential personnel, are also required to receive the influenza vaccination.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone 6 months old and older receive the flu vaccine each year. It is especially important that the following people get vaccinated, either because they are at “high risk” of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications:

• Pregnant women.• Children younger than 5, but especially children

younger than 2 years of age. • Persons 65 years of age and older. • All adults and children with certain chronic medical

conditions (chronic lung disease, heart problems, diabetes, liver disease and kidney disease).

• People who live in nursing homes and other long–term care facilities.

• People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, to include:

Health care workers.Household contacts of persons at high risk for complica-

tions from the flu. Household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of

children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated).

Emergency essential personnel.Two types of influenza vaccines are being used for

the 2013 - 2014 season. One is a live attenuated nasal inhalation spray vaccine called FluMist, and the other is an injectable inactivated vaccine. FluMist is recommended for most active duty personnel, selected reserve personnel and beneficiaries ages 2 - 49 unless it is medically advised oth-erwise. Injectable influenza vaccine is primarily for children aged 6 months to 2 years, those over 50 years old, pregnant women and when FluMist is not medically advised.

To ensure effective, targeted vaccination coverage, USNHR will implement a phased vaccination strategy. We anticipate receiving the FluMist vaccine first. When we receive the FluMist nasal spray vaccine, we will start vaccinating active duty personnel and civilian healthcare and emergency essential personnel who are aged 18 – 49. Once we have vaccinated that population, we will make the FluMist nasal spray vaccine available to family members and all other TRICARE enrolled and non-enrolled beneficiaries aged 2 – 49 unless it is medically advised otherwise. We are often asked why we are not vaccinat-ing our “high-risk” patients first. This is only because our “high-risk” cannot use the FluMist vaccine and have to wait for the injectable vaccine. Once we receive the injectable vaccine, we will continue with active duty personnel who couldn’t receive the FluMist, then follow with the "high-risk" enrolled beneficiaries as noted in the above categories, and finally all other TRICARE enrolled and non-enrolled

beneficiaries. It is most beneficial if the community gets vaccinated

prior to the start of the flu season. The more people in the community who are vaccinated, the less likely the flu virus is able to spread. This provides some protection to those who are unable to get vaccinated. There are other steps you can take to keep you and your family healthy. Cough or sneeze into a tissue, covering your mouth and your nose. If a tissue is not available, use the shirtsleeve of your upper arm. Do not use your hands. Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water is not available, use an alcohol-based rub. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, because you can spread germs this way. Avoid sick people and if you become sick, stay at home so you do not spread germs to others.

For work environments and supervisors, start thinking about your flu plan now. Is working from home an option for your staff? Do you have an environment where people work closely together or are they more isolated? When someone has the flu, they can spread it to others from about a day before they start feeling sick until about five - seven days after getting sick. It is better to keep one or two people out for the duration than to let them work while they are infec-tious and put more of your staff at risk. Encourage your staff to get vaccinated, and promote healthy behaviors to minimize risk of spreading respiratory illnesses.

The best way to avoid influenza is to be vaccinated every year, especially if you are in a "high-risk" category. Please stay tuned for timely updates on Naval Station Rota, Spain and Naval Hospital Rota Facebook pages, American Forces Network (AFN) radio and TV and The Coastline.

Are You Thinking About Paying for My Groceries? Life can be terrifying. Happiness doesn’t have a

safety net, and what has the potential for great joy comes with an equal potential for great pain. This

is why relationships hurt when they fail. This is why it hurts when we lose people we love.

People can take us to great heights, and we love life on the peaks, but it’s a long way down.

The view of life is beautiful from the top, but sometimes

it feels like we’re walk-ing the ledge of a sky-

scraper, and life gives us little reminders of how far we could fall. Losing a child in a crowd, or a serious argument with your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, is enough to make you take a few steps back. Some have experienced loss so painful they take a perma-nent step back and, out of fear of potential pain, never allow themselves to go to that place again.

Life is terrifying when you lose someone. Life is even more terrifying when you lose yourself. Believe it or not, I think losing yourself is fairly easy to do. We find ourselves in crowds doing things against our character. We find ourselves influenced by cir-cumstances that have us feeling or thinking things completely inconsistent with who we really are. Any time we experience change, the door is open for us to step through into a world where we no longer know who we are, we feel lost and we lose sight of how to be found again. These moments are scary, and sometimes they come with scary thoughts.

In the scramble to come up with solutions, suicide is an option people sometimes consider. For a num-ber of reasons, we are often afraid to ask people if they are thinking of suicide. Don’t be. It’s no more likely that you’ll put the idea in their head than asking someone at the grocery store if they are planning on paying for your groceries (I have a family of six, you don’t want to pay for my groceries).

If you ask someone if they are thinking about sui-cide and they say yes, then swallow the lump in your

throat, ask what’s wrong and listen compassionately. You don’t have to be an intervention expert to help. You don’t have to try to “fix” them. Just listen. Then, most importantly, after you’ve listened, get them to someone who can help. It’s that simple.

If you don’t know where to go, come to the Chapel. If it’s after hours or on the weekends, call the Duty Chaplain at 639-101-864. The Chapel is just one of many resources available on base with people trained in suicide intervention.

Finally, as the theme of Suicide Prevention Month is focused on developing community and purpose, I want to encourage you to explore your faith, and consider the role of the Chapel. Community and purpose is what we are all about. God created you for community, and for a purpose. We are here to help you explore that for your life. And don’t worry, I won’t ask you to pay for my groceries.

If you would like to speak to me or another chaplain regarding this or any other issue, please contact the chapel at 727-2161.

Brindo Mi Vida (I Offer My Life) is a casual, experiential Christian worship, centered around fellowship and communion. Eat dessert, drink coffee and explore with us a deeply spiritual, yet very practical relationship with God. Every Sunday, 6 p.m. at the Chapel.

Chantelle DousayTeam Rota in the Spotlight

Currently, Chantelle volunteers at the base Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society of-fice. There she serves as the communica-tions lead and is in training to become a caseworker.

She is married to Information Systems Technician 1st Class Jeremy Dousay.

TEAM ROTA IN THE SPOTLIGHT

14 September 12, 2013 C LDGF NEWS

The swim season officially started for the Rota Swim Club (RSC) when they hosted their first two-day meet of the season Aug. 31 – Sept. 1.

During the course of the meet, RSC swimmers recorded eight European Forces Swim League (EFSL) Champi-onship qualifying times, guaranteeing the respective swimmers a chance to compete at the EFSL Championships in the Netherlands in February.

Rota Swim Club Head Coach Ryan West repeatedly asked his swimmers “Who am I,” to which they repled in unison, “I am a champion!”

The swimmers, ages 6 – 18 years

old, appear to be on track; in addition to the qualifying times, they recorded 89 improved times over the weekend, with 15 swimmers having perfect meets (improving their personal best times in every event).

The RSC is happy to see so many new faces on the team, and they are always looking for more swimmers with a desire to work hard and com-pete. If you are interested please come out and join the largest sports team on the base. You don’t need to know how to swim competitively. You just need to want to. This is a fam-ily sport and there is something for everyone. We look forward to seeing you on deck!

Budget pressures mean defense acquisition workers’ lives “are going to stay difficult for a while,” their chief told the workforce in Patuxent Rives, Md., recently, but he reminded them that they have a critical mission for the country.

Frank Kendall, undersecretary of defense for acqui-sition, technology and logistics, visited here Sept. 3 to discuss the Pentagon’s Better Buying Power 2.0 initiative and listen to workforce feedback after what he acknowl-edged has been a challenging summer.

“Pax River,” as it’s commonly known, is home to Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division headquarters, as well as more than 50 tenant activities. Staffs here provide the full spectrum of acquisition management, research and development capabilities, air and ground test and evaluation, aircraft logistics and maintenance management. The installation supports land-based and maritime aircraft and engineer-ing, test, evaluation, integration and life cycle support for ship and shore electronics.

Kendall told workers the now completed civilian fur-loughs, which cut workers’ hours and pay by one day a week for six weeks, were a last resort in the face of steep sequestration-mandated spending cuts that might otherwise have left the military in a dangerously low state of readiness.

“I’m sorry we had to do it,” he said, emphasizing that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and other Pentagon

leaders exhausted all other possibilities before reluctantly approving what amounted to short-term layoffs.

Kendall said he can’t predict what the new fiscal year will bring to the Defense Department when it begins Oct. 1.

“The budget situation we’re in is pretty much unprec-edented,” he said. “I have not [before] seen this kind of gridlock on Capitol Hill.”

Kendall said he doubts that sequestration, the provi-sion in budget law that imposes across-the-board spend-ing cuts to counteract budget deficits, will go away this year. Congress can de-trigger the automatic cuts, he said, but he added that he sees no appetite for doing so.

“The impact of sequestration, while it is very real, is also very distributed,” Kendall said. He noted that wholesale program cancellations, which people might expect to see, have been avoided so far, “because we’re trying to do our jobs.”

Sequester will cut about $52 billion from the 2014 defense budget, he said, and leaders will begin imple-menting those cuts in October.

While the Office of Management and Budget hasn’t issued guidance yet for fiscal year 2014, Kendall said, “my expectation is we will start assuming sequestration from day one.”

Military personnel cuts take time, he explained, and military pay is likely to be exempt, so the burden of those cuts essentially falls on the civilian workforce and contractors, along with investment accounts ─ his area of acquisition, technology and logistics.

The military culture is to “put your head down and get the job done” no matter the circumstances, he said, and the acquisition workforce continues its push to get the best value for taxpayer dollars.

“I do think we have to be vocal about what’s going on, though … and I think it’s going to be a lot worse going into [fiscal 2014],” he said.

Kendall said he hopes furloughs will not be repeated, but that while he also hopes DoD can avoid a reduction in force of the civilian workforce, it may be necessary.

“The odds of a [reduction in force] not happening are not so good,” he acknowledged, though he added that defense leaders are researching alternatives.

“I don’t see us getting to a time soon where we get out of the mess,” Kendall said. “But I do think that as the damage becomes more visible, Congress will have to act and de-trigger [sequestration]. I just don’t know how long it’s going to take.”
