Seabee battalions, when they de- ploy, are tasked with a certain amount of work to complete bythe end of their eight-month deployment. The base commander where a battalion is deployed to may also request that they do small jobs for the base. These jobs are called C.O. discre- tionary projects, and sometimes they aren't all that small. Despite the fact that C.O. dis- cretionary projects are not usually accepted until mid-deployment, NMCB Five has already begun work on one here.

When some of the teens on base requested a place where they could get together without being around adults, the Morin Center was sug- gested. The completed Teen Center will in- clude a wet soda bar, a pool room, a dance floor and a stage. The Center is tentatively scheduled to open in four weeks, and the teens plan to manage and maintain it on their own as much as possible. Kunkle is pleased with progress being made on the job. "The guys on my crew arrived in Guantanamo Bay ready to work and they haven't slowed down yet," he said. "I'm very pleased with the progress that we've made in only one week of working.

Career Counselor'sCorner

By NCCS Louis StaggerNAS Career Counselor

Filling out your "Dream Sheet"There seems to be a bit of

confusion about the prover-bial "Dream Sheet."

As things have it, Guan-tanamo Bay is out of thatmislabeled form! Now don'tget upset.

The "Dream Sheet" has beenreplaced by the properly-named form, Enlisted. DutyPreference Form, NAVPERS1306/63. For commonterminology, just call it the"Duty Preference Form."

The Duty Preference Formhas a big purpose and that isfor you to tell your detailerofficially where you want togo for your next duty assign-ment and why.

The Duty Preference Formtells your detailer to whichlocations you would prefer tobe assigned, which type ofduty (i.e. sea, shore,overseas), how many depend-ents you have, where theyare, and where your householdgoods are. It also has alarge section for you towrite to your detailer di-rectly!

When should you submit aDuty Preference Form?

Each time you transfer youshould make out a new one.Once you've been aboard a newduty station for six monthsyou should have one ready to

send to Washington. Anytimeyour duty preference changessend in a fresh Duty Prefer-ence Form.

If you have had a change inyour status since your lastDuty Preference Form fill outa new one. By status change Imean: If you get married ordivorced or have a child, ifyou have acquired a largeamount of household goods ordon't have them any more.

Basically, you are respon-sible for your Duty Prefer-ence Form. It is the singlemost important document inyour effort to get the nextduty you want. Remember, thedetailers have the newcomputer system now and yourDuty Preference Form is onhis screen when he considersyour next assignment.

If you need help with theform, the directions are onthe back. You can also checkout the Enlisted TransferManual, chapter 25, for moreduty selections. And as amajor aid, don't forget yourdivision career counselor.

If you need a new DutyPreference Form get one fromyour division career counse-lor and help yourself.

Until next week, take care,serve proud and be a goodshipmate.

Fleet Training Group's TLO doing a bang-up jobArriving nere two years

ago, Lt. j.g. Michael Churchhas been busy putting variousships through the ringer.Assigned as the Training

Liason Officer (TLO) at FleetTraining Group, Church actsas a point of contact betweenthe ship's people and FTG.

One of his primary dutiesis to monitor the ships'training status and ensurethe schedule is met."What happens," says

Church, "is that the regula-tions are looked at and thenit is decided what the shipneeds to do. Then a long andshort term schedule is madeup to see that all the exer-cises are met.

"All exercises should becompleted barring any mater-ial casualties, which aremachinery problems," he add-ed.

Church says that all of hisships have been on time,except for those with mechan-ical failures.

The success of a ship isdetermined by the level ofthe score a ship receives.

However, it is not a per-sonal success, but a FTG suc-cess. "No one person can takea ship through training,"said Church. "It is a groupeffort."

Being a TLO may be nice butit is not all that Church isresponsible for.

"I also act as a Fire Con-trol Officer, a Senior Wea-pons Observer, a Foreign ShipTraining Officer, as well asa TLO."

Working at FTG for the pasttwo years, Church has beeninvolved with 120-130 shipsas a TLO or Senior WeaponsObserver.

So out of all these ships,did any stand out in his

mind?"The USS Elrod and USS Carr

really had their stufftogether shipwide, reallysharp. I would say they werea cut above the rest."

Despite the number of dif-ferent jobs Church is re-sponsible for, he enjoys bits

6

and pieces o them all."I enjoy working with for-

eign ships. They are mannedby enthusiastic, super moti-vated people," said Church.

"I extended down here for ayear and would do it again.It has been a really reward-ing job," he added.

remove the pilot and clearthe runway.

"During Defense Exercises,we get very busy," explainedA02 Brenda Manseau, a memberof the ordnance team for VC-10.

"We usually have two orthree people supplying theordnance for all the alertplanes.

"If there is a last-minuteproblem with a plane, we haveto move all the ordnance fromthat plane to another," shesaid.

The ordnance used duringDEFEX includes boxes of am-munition for the guns, and500-pound high-explosivebombs.

"The ammunition boxes weighapproximately 100 poundseach, and there are two foreach plane," Manseau added."During a normal day, we

prepare the planes for anytraining they will be con-ducting, and we clean andmaintain the weapons for theplanes that will be flvin

"Because of the defensiveaspect of our mission, every-one here takes the weaponstraining a little moreseriously than they might atanother squadron.

"We also re-check all theordnance on the plane justbefore the flight, we don'ttake any chances when ord-nance is involved," Manseausaid.

According to Manseau, VC-10is also the only A-4 squadroncapable of carrying the"Sidewinder" air-to-airmissile.

"This is because of ourdual mission," she explained.

"Because of this, we haveto make sure all the missilesystems are operating proper-ly, and with the "Sidewinder"it can get very difficult,"she added.

CWO2 Donald Cotta, the Ord-nance Officer for VC-10,said, "We have an exceptionalgroup of people in the ord-nance department.

SportsRec. Service's water exercise programs making a splash in GuantanamoBy Terri EdisonRecreation Services

Take the plunge!Water exercise programs are

just what Guantanamo Bayneeds, due to the consistentyear-round warm weather.Throughout history, thehealthful properties of waterexercise has been realized.The time-honored boredom ofendless laps has been revi-talized by a growing numberof programs designed to putthe kick of aerobic classesinto pool-based workouts.

The recent increase in thepopularity of these programsmay be a direct result of thegrowing number of athletessustaining injuries fromother forms of aerobic exer-cise.

Running and aerobic danceclasses can place undue

stress on the joints, legsand spine. The cushioning ef-fects of water has been re-cognized for year s by physi-cal therapists who often putinjured limbs through theirpaces in pools to minimizeadditional risks.Water aerobics provides

excellent benefits withoutthe risk of injury and ex-haustion often associatedwith regular aerobics.Along with the comfort

factor afforded by the pool,the resistance offered bywater is touted by many as away of obtaining the benefitsof mini-weights to an exer-cise program without thepain.Everyone can benefit from

water aerobics. A young fitperson can run hard in thewater and work to capacitywhile and older person may

get an excellent workout justby using the resistance ofthe water against the body towalk across the pool.

Individuals can increasetheir heart rate to the pointwhere they would be running asprint, yet be free of thepounding effect on the bodyand the threat of injury.

There are an endless numberof water exercise that canbenefit every part of thebody and it is not difficultto get a complete overallworkout.Water aerobics, or hydro-

aerobics, is basically anaerobic-type exercise that istransferred to the water. Theresistance of water intensi-fies every movement, result-ing in maximum benefits beingderived more quickly comparedwith similar exercises per-formed on land.

One of the program's mainbenefits is the improvementof the cardiovascular system,along with muscle toning andimproved endurance.Water aerobics does provide

an excellent workout for thephysically fit, but for cer-tain people there is no otheralternative. People withjoint afflictions such as ar-thritis, those with lowerback problems and the obese,benefit enormously from thereduced body weight and easeof movement. Pregnant women,too, may prefer to get theiraerobic conditioning in thewater, with its lack of jar-ring and feeling of weight-lessness.Most hydroaerobic classes

last 45 minutes to an hour,and require submersion up tothe armpits. Non-swimmers canalso participate. People that

stay with the program forthree to four weeks will seedefinite results, but mayalso want to alternate thiswater program with regulaerobics. Since participantdon't feel sweat in thewater, it's hard to believethey are getting such agreat workout.

Recreation Services issponsoring a water aerobicsclass June 1-12, on Monday,Tuesday, Thursday and Friday,from 10 to 10:45 a.m. at theVillamar Pool and from 5 to5:45 p.m. at the COMO ClubPool. The cost is $12 perperson and will cover eightsessions.Registrations are being
