Growing up in a small barrio in Texas to poor immigrant parents, Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch learned firsthand the importance of culture, tradition and “familia.”

Kickbusch, who spoke here Oct. 6 as part of NAVAIR’s Hispanic Heritage Month event, told a story of how, when she once lamented that she did not own a kite like all the other chil-dren, her father asked her to draw a picture of it in the mud. Then, he told her to build her vision, helping her find the materials and even asking her mother to whip up the glue in the kitchen – a mixture of flour and water. Then came its first flight; the two walked to the high point in the river to catch the wind. The home-made kite soared.

“My father put in me the greatest gift of all: curiosity,” Kickbusch, founder of Educational Achievement Services Inc., said. “He was pro-viding a great foundation for me.”

Kickbusch explained that many Hispan-ic-Americans, like herself, grew up with the challenges of poverty, discrimination and illit-eracy but learned to improvise, making home-made toys, building robots out of scrap parts and challenging preconceived notions about their community.

These skills, she said, are valuable to an orga-nization such as NAVAIR.

Dream makers, not gatekeepers

“Math and science are not language depen-dent,” she said. She then asked the audience, “What is the algorithm for brilliance? Are you creating and looking for that brilliance? If your well is not producing the talent we used to take for granted, you’re going to have to look in new places.”

She urged NAVAIR hiring managers to serve as “dream makers,” not gatekeepers, and to look for new Hispanic talent by looking out-side the traditional.

“If you want talent, it’s sitting in your offices, in your hallways, in that custodian, that ad-ministrative clerk, that young talent here on an internship,” she said. “Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Give realism and intention to the project of growing our next generation of Latino leaders.”

Hispanics are the fastest growing demo-graphic in the U.S., according to the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau, but one out of every five Latinos quits school, and only one out of 100 goes to college and graduates.

Kickbusch said she learned the value of hard work from her mother, a maid, who taught her to always do her job so well that even when no one is there to see it, the work speaks for itself.

“I will not accept that mediocrity is part of your language,” her mother said, a lesson Kickbus-ch took with her as a young woman in the U.S. Army, later becoming the highest ranking His-panic woman in the combat support field.

All it took, Kickbusch said, was access and opportunity, two things she urged NAVAIR managers to give to other Hispanic-Americans. Strength through diversity

“It’s about changing paradigms in order for you to grow the next talent,” she said. “Reach out to this young talent that’s coming. Create an environment with which they identify.”

NAVAIR has approximately 1,600 Hispanic employees, and its Hispanic Engagement Ac-tion Team (HEAT), founded in 2009, that fo-cuses on recruiting, retaining and developing Hispanic employees and identifying potential hiring barriers.

“I’m a very strong believer that our com-mand is made much stronger through diver-sity of thought, culture and background,” said new NAVAIR Commander Vice Adm. Paul Grosklags. “Events like this, where we cele-brate that diversity, are an important part of what we’re going to do.”

The event, which was co-sponsored by HEAT and NAVAIR’s Equal Employment Op-portunity/Diversity Office, also included two videos about Hispanic-Americans, a reading

of the Department of the Navy’s Hispanic Her-itage Month proclamation and a food tasting.

“Difference, for me, is a plus. The more we embrace it, celebrate it, open our minds to it, the richer we will become as a nation,” said Con-suelo Castillo Kickbusch, founder of Educational Achievement Services Inc., who spoke as part of NAVAIR’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month Oct. 6.

Seven years ago, Christopher and Chantelle Kern hunkered down in their topless Jeep to lead a pack of 65 off-roading ve-hicles through challenging Pennsylvania terrain — all for the sake of raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Today, the nonprofit group Topless for TATAs hosts one of the largest off-roading events on the East Coast.

Christopher, Air-to-Air Missiles Program Office (PMA-259) Information Technology specialist, and his wife, Chantelle, AV-8B Weapons Systems Program Office (PMA-257) Acquisition Lead, founded the organization and have donated approxi-mately $100,000 to breast cancer research. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month – the annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease — the organization provided a check for $37,724.22 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) this October.

“My wife, children and I wanted to create a nonprofit that would benefit those in need, promote health and educate the general public, all while offering an activity that would be fun to participate in,” Chris said. “Once we determined our cause, my wife took the helm and created a charity that exceeded our expectations exponentially.”

Chantelle Kern is the director of the organization. Her ded-ication and commitment have ignited “off-roaders” across the nation to attend the annual event.

“Event coordination is a full-time job in itself,” Chantelle said. “It takes a year to plan, even with our entire family involved in the process. We take a few days off immediately following the event, and then begin the entire process all over again. During the weekend festivities, we have amazing volunteers that come out in droves to support our cause.”

Comprised of more than 700 vehicles, 80 vendors and up-wards of 2,500 participants, the three-day annual off-roading event held at Rausch Creek Off Road Park, Pine Grove, Penn-

sylvania, generates enthusiasm and spontaneity among breast cancer survivors, family members and off-road sports enthu-siasts as they rally together to raise money for breast cancer research.

Participants challenge their driving skills as they navigate their way through smoky fire roads, over boulder-laden topog-raphy and crawl through muddy trails. The newly-developed memorial trail, donated by the park, offers driving through tree-lined terrain garnished with pink ribbons bearing the names of breast cancer warriors, survivors and departed loved ones.

Although the annual charity event is the main fundraiser for Topless for TATAs, the Kern family travels extensively to other off-road events to raise awareness for their cause and sell char-

ity merchandise throughout the year with 100 percent of the proceeds donated directly to BCRF.

“People constantly ask if we’ve had a family member affected by breast cancer that prompted the creation of our philanthro-py,” Chantelle said. “My answer, ‘no, and why wait for an obsta-cle to have a positive impact on the world. Get out there and do some good.’”

If you are interested in participating, registration for the next off-roading event opens Dec. 8 to past participants and a few days later to new entries. The 2016 event is scheduled for Aug. 12-14.

Each October, women are reminded to put themselves first and make time for their health. Making your health a priority helps you stay in optimum shape and keeps illnesses and disease at bay.

Women often put their families’ needs ahead of their own, ignoring minor symptoms year after year until they affect their health. Using preventive care is one of the best ways to stay healthy, allowing you to give your all in everything you do for your family and yourself.

Each year, get a well-woman exam. At this exam, you should have your blood pressure checked and talk to your health care provider about what other screenings, immuni-zations or family planning you might need based on your age, health habits, family and medical history.

The American Cancer Society recommends all women should begin cervical cancer screening at age 21. Wom-en aged 21 to 29, should have a Pap test every three years. Thanks to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, most private health plans must cover this and other preven-tive care services at no cost. TRICARE also covers annual preventive women’s health services that may include a Pap smear, pelvic and breast exam and mammogram at no cost.

There are other actions you can take to live a healthy life:• Maintain a healthy weight• Exercise for a least 30 minutes at least five days a week• Limit alcohol use• Quit smoking• Practice safe sex• Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night• See your health care provider every year

• Get appropriate screenings as recommended by your health care provider

It’s important to get screenings, especially if you are at a higher risk for certain diseases like breast cancer or diabe-tes. Talk to your health care provider about family, emotions, stress and non-physical concerns as well. Life events can bring higher stress with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. These concerns are just as important to discuss as your physical health in order to stay or become more healthy.

You can visit the Office of Women’s Health web page Your Health at Every Age to get details on what are the import-ant health practices for you to maintain your health based on your age. For more information about TRICARE, visit Is It Covered? on the TRICARE website.

Commanding officers and command master chiefs (CMCs) from across NAS Patuxent River gathered at the West Basin Marina here on Oct. 14 for a friendly canoeing competition.

The team from Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers (COM-FRC) took home the win in the second annual Commander and Commander Master Chief Obstacle Course Challenge. The race was held as part of the celebration of the U.S. Navy’s

240th birthday.Bragging rights and a trophy were at stake as the five teams

began the quarter-mile course, wending their way around py-lons to get to the finish line. The real challenge was having to paddle and steer since the competitors sat face-to-face in the canoes.

Coming back from a watery start and crossing the finish line with a time of five minutes and 32 seconds, the COMFRC team, Rear Adm. Paul Sohl, commander, and Command Master

Chief Timothy McKinley left the other teams in their wake, but were unable to break the course record of four minutes and 49 seconds set by the champions from last year’s inaugural race, Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (HX-21).

All teams finished the race, though some were more drenched than others.

The event was supported by employees from Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) and the NAS Patuxent River Fire and Emergency Services Department.

Teamwork and passion for getting the job done inspired program managers to nomi-nate 18 NAVAIR business financial managers (BFMs) for the fifth annual AIR-7.8 Headquar-ters Award for Excellence in Financial Man-agement Service.

Established in 2011 and celebrated on Sept. 22, the award acknowledges those BFMs who focus on customer and program needs to find new methods of meeting or exceeding cus-tomer and program expectations. The award also acknowledges an individual’s efforts in improving customer service and promoting quality of work life. All are nominated by their program customers.

“We’re here to celebrate truly outstanding performers, their dedication and their commit-ment,” said Todd Washington, director, Program and Business Analysis Department, during the ceremony at the River’s Edge Catering and Con-ference Center at Naval Air Station Patuxent Riv-er, Md. “It’s also a chance to honor the team. No one would be up here without their team pulling together, unselfish and committed to the success of their program manager.”

For Washington, co-location of BFMs with their program customers is tantamount to success.

“With our BFMs sitting side-by-side with their customers, they are completely integrat-ed in the customers’ work and understand the mission,” Washington said.

The 10 nominated in the BFM category and eight in the lead BFM category are represen-tative of the entire competency, Washington said. “They are committed, dedicated and pas-sionate about their work.”

This year’s winners exemplify those charac-teristics.

“Teamwork is critical to the success of the Tomahawk program office,” said Raymond Simmons, lead BFM for the Tomahawk Weap-ons System Program Office (PMA-280), and recipient of the excellence award in the lead BFM category.

“The business and financial management team has integrated itself to provide clear lines of communication across the program office, resulting in a more defendable product and overall confidence amongst our stake-

holders that the cost, schedule and perfor-mance of the program is being maintained. This has been evident through the successful execution and budgetary formulation of the program in light of pending production shut-down and the transition of the program from the production to the depot phase,” Simmons said.

Effective communication is also important for Audra King, winner in the BFM category, supporting PMA-261, Heavy Lift Helicopters Program Office.

“Consistent communication coupled with the ability to adapt to an increasingly stringent fiscal environment is key to successful team-work that satisfies mission requirements,” King said. “Since each player has a significant role whereby they are focused on their niche, the more the team talks to one another, ex-plaining what they are doing and the reasons behind those decisions, the better under-standing we have for what has occurred, what we are trying to accomplish and where the projects are headed.”

Interpersonal skills are also important.“The in-service and BFM teams at PMA-261

have a genuine value for one another. People are the prime asset, spending hours on end together. We are a ‘family’ dedicated to each other, as well as the warfighter,” she said.

Aspiring leaders learned how to apply to the NAVAIR Journey Leadership Development Program (JLDP) at a workshop held here Oct. 8.

The workshop, which was also broadcast nationally to the other NAVAIR sites, gave potential JLDP applicants the chance to learn more about the program, glean tips on writing and preparing their application and hear from current and former JLDP participants about their experiences.

“You are taking the first step to demonstrate your desire to be a leader,” NAVAIR comptroller Jerry Short told the audience of 250 civilian and military employees. “JLDP shows the finan-cial investment the command puts forth to growing its future leaders.”

The purpose of JLDP is to enhance employees’ leadership, diversity and wellness skills and strengthen the NAVAIR work-force for the future.

This competitive program offers journey-level employees networking opportunities, five instructor-led training classes, computer-based leadership training, job shadowing and inter-views with senior leaders.

Participants create and maintain an individual development plan to chart their career goals. They formalize mentoring re-lationships using iMentor, NAVAIR’s online application that matches mentors with mentees. In addition, participants at-tend events related to leadership, diversity and wellness.

John Kodluboy, a JLDP graduate, said the wellness portion of the program inspired him so much that he now runs mar-athons. Lacee Applegate said JLDP helped her hone her com-munication skills, especially as a young leader, while Dawn Gilmore said job shadowing was her favorite part of the pro-gram.

Currently, the program has 331 participants. A second work-shop is scheduled for Nov. 19, and applications will be accept-ed beginning Jan. 26, 2016. For more information, email [email protected].

“Executive core qualifications are the factor by which your entry into the program will hinge,” explains Steve Cricchi, assistant commander for Corporate Operations and Total Force, far right, at a workshop for Journey Leadership Development Program (JLDP) applicants, Oct. 8. The U.S. Office of Personnel Man-agement’s executive core qualifications define the competencies needed to build a successful federal corporate culture; JLDP applicants must demonstrate their skills with three of these qualifications. Appli-cations will be accepted beginning Jan. 26, 2016.


By Cindy Mattingly, Air-to-Air Missiles Pro-gram (PMA-259) communications

In a classroom on the water, a volunteer from a NAVAIR program office recently taught a school of youth how to sail safely and re-sponsibly.

Air-to-Air Missile Systems program office (PMA-259)’s Rich Rutkowski, AIM-9X Foreign Military Sales Engineer, has rediscovered a passion for sailing first sparked as a U.S. Naval Academy plebe.

The systems engineer and retired Navy lieu-tenant commander said he sailed occasionally throughout the years, but changed to a differ-ent tack when he saw an opportunity to spend more time with his son through the sport.

“Sailing is not officially recognized or fund-ed by many high schools in the area,” Rutkow-ski said. “My son’s interest in the sport led us to Sailing Center Chesapeake (SCC) in Tall Timbers, Maryland. And as my son became involved with the organization, so did my wife and I.”

Rutkowski and his wife both serve on the operational arm of the Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation, which is a nonprofit, vol-unteer organization that offers middle and high-school students opportunities to partici-pate in varsity and junior varsity sailing events.

“We start with the basics since many kids

don’t know the difference between the port, or left-side of the boat, and the starboard, or right-side. Our two-person dinghies are the perfect vessels to demonstrate tactical procedures and provide safety instruction,” he said. “Once the students are comfortable on the water, we introduce them to competitive racing. Many compete in the FrostBite Series off Solomon’s Island, Annapolis races and the Governor’s Cup Yacht Race along the Chesapeake Bay. It’s amazing how quickly they catch on to the concepts.”

He says sailing is one of the few sports where participants can be a leader and follower inter-changeably regardless of gender or body type. Offshore, there is no coach to advise in the boat; therefore, students must work together to problem-solve and eventually develop their unique course of action.

Sailing instruction provides Rutkowski a way to convey a nautical legacy.

“It’s all about passing the Southern Maryland waterman and sailing heritage to the next gen-eration,” he said. “When we couple that with environmental and conservation education, we develop conscientious sailors that will en-joy and protect our waterways for a lifetime.”

masks with eyeholes big enough to see their surroundings.• Keep your children away from open flames (including jack-o-

lanterns) to avoid catching their clothes on fire. When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric and choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame.

• Practice stop, drop and roll with your children so they know what to do if their clothes catch fire

Check the Candy• Encourage your children not to eat while they are trick or

treating; have a snack before you leave your house so they will not be hungry

• Inspect all candy before your children eat it. Check commer-cially wrapped treats for signs of tampering, such as an unusual appearance or discoloration, tiny pinholes, or tears in wrappers. If it appears to be tampered with, throw it away

Check your Decorations• Battery-operated candles in a jack-o-lantern are the saf-

est route but if you use a real candle be very careful. Place them away from flammable decorations and out of the path of trick-or-treaters

• Keep flammable decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources. Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are examples of highly flammable materials.

• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape route

Have a Meeting Place• At the beginning of trick or treating, pick an easily found landmark at which to meet in case your children become lost or separated from the group.• Review contact information, such as your name and phone number, for your children to tell a trustworthy adult in case they get lost.

By Denise KrumanackerCOMFRC/6.0 communication support

Even with the immediate availability of digital media, surveys have shown that face-to-face interaction is the preferred method of communication for all age groups and one which builds a clear organizational identity.

With that in mind, leadership, staff, com-manding officers, executive officers and site production directors from across the Com-mander, Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC), and Naval Air Systems Command Logistics and Industrial Operations (AIR 6.0) gathered for Commanding Officer’s a Face-to-Face meeting Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) Mid-Atlantic Detachment Patuxent River here.

During the event, Cmdr. Kenneth “Jerry” Brown, Fleet Readiness Center West (FRCW) commanding officer, Lemoore, Calif., briefed FRCW’s fiscal year 15- 16 production plan.

“I most enjoyed having the opportunity to discuss things that were of concern at my FRC and seeking insight from other leadership who may have experienced the issues before,” he said.

The team tackled many issues including how to pass knowledge to the next genera-tion; defining skills sets needed in the future workforce; and readiness and sustainment challenges in light of ongoing defense cuts and budget shortfalls.

“Maintaining readiness across the spectrum

of our diverse inventory of aircraft is a varsity sport, and we can only be successful when we work as a team,” said Cmdr. Mike Masica, director of Aircraft Material and Engineer-ing for Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic

(CNAL)/ Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (CNAP) N421, who presented the Type Commander’s perspective brief to the group. “The Face-to-Face presented a very valuable opportunity for me to meet with the

leadership of our Fleet Readiness Centers and listen and learn about their concerns and chal-lenges while also communicating the Type

COMFRC’s Face-to-Face generates ideas, produces learning opportunities

Commander’s perspective on aviation readiness.”COMFRC Face-to-Face meetings are held regularly on a ro-

tating basis at one of the Fleet Readiness Centers.“FRCs are critical and essential components in sustaining our

warfighter capabilities,” said Rear Adm. Paul Sohl, Command-er, Fleet Readiness Centers, and AIR 6.0 assistant commander. “We are always looking for ways to share good ideas among our repair sites, and the Face-to-Face meetings are one way to ac-complish this. Our job as leaders is to ensure that the best prac-tices and most effective and efficient maintenance solutions are put into place across the command.”

Headquartered at NAS Patuxent River, COMFRC oversees eight Fleet Readiness Centers located on the U.S. East and West coasts and in Japan. COMFRC conducts maintenance, repair and overhaul of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, engines, components and support equipment. Each year roughly 6,500 Sailors and Marines, along with more than 9,500 depot artisans at the FRCs overhaul and repair nearly 1,000 aircraft, thousands of engines and several hundred thousand components valued at approximately $4 billion.

Thursday, Oct. 226:30 p.m., Black Mass (Rated: R,

2 hrs. 2 mins.)In 1970’s South Boston, FBI

Agent John Connolly persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulg-er to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the sto-ry of this unholy alliance, which spi-raled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consoli-date power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gang-sters in Boston history.

Friday, Oct. 236:30 p.m., Everest (3D) (Rated:

PG-13; 2 hrs.)Inspired by the incredible events

surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest

mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two differ-ent expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival.

9:30 p.m., The Intern (Rated: PG-13, 2 hrs. 1 min.)

Ben Whittaker, a retired widower in his 70s, answers an advertise-ment seeking senior interns at a Brooklyn startup and soon finds himself in the middle of a hurricane created by young company chief Jules Ostin, whose online clothing business, which she started in her

kitchen a year and a half ago, has taken off and put her in charge of 250 employees. Jules is initially skeptical of bringing an old-timer like Ben into the mix, especially since Jules is juggling her business with a demanding home life that in-cludes husband Matt and daughter Paige. But Ben proves invaluable and wins over Jules with his hard-earned wisdom and compassion, providing Jules with much-needed guidance, as well as a trusty friend, as she navigates life’s ups and downs.

Saturday, Oct. 244 p.m., Hotel Transylvania 2 (Rat-

ed: PG; 1 hr. 29 mins.)Everything seems to be changing

for the better at Hotel Transylva-nia... Dracula’s rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grand-son, Dennis, isn’t showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny — and in for a major cultural shock of her own — “Vampa” Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp. But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his great-grand-son is not a pure blood — and hu-mans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania — things are going to get batty!
