NBHC Promotes Healthier LifestylesBy MC2 Derric Cushman Staff Writer

NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY, Bahrain — Naval Branch Health Clinic (NBHC) Bahrain held a health fair for the Naval Support Activity (NSA)Bahrain communi-ty to educate attendees on the importance of healthy living.

NBHC personnel set up booths with a multitude of themes to illustrate all the ser-vices available to the community in support a healthier lifestyle. The Health Fair cov-ered a wide range of topics, such as nutri-tion, mental health, summer safety, finan-cial planning, and optometry.

“We want every individual to leave with the idea that prevention is always a key for promoting good health throughout their life,” said Cmdr. Mary Gracia, Health Promotions and Wellness coordinator for NBHC Bahrain. “We want people to learn those healthy lifestyles that will assist them in preventing many illnesses that may occur as people advance in age. We’re pro-moting those healthy lifestyles that can be

practiced daily.”The health care professionals at NBHC

Bahrain want to ensure people are well informed of the services that are offered by the clinic and various commands on base. They take great pride in supporting the well-being of everyone on base.

“It was a pretty arduous task to get the Health Fair going and get people through the doors at first,” said Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Ashbey Dominguez, NBHC Bahrain Health Promotions professional. “We ended up having a great turnout though, and just knowing that people can take away something from the Health Fair that will help them in their lives. That gives me a very rewarding feeling.”

There are future plans to have the Health Fair twice a year, with the next event slated for fall 2014.

“Because we feel there is a need for the Health Fair, we would like to have it twice a year,” said Gracia. “We are here to assists everyone with caring for them-selves and to cover our patients health needs in all aspects.”

HQ Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Joint Personal Property Management Office (HQ SDDC-JPMO) recently advised all Services of changes to DoD’s Global Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Shipment Contract (GPC III). Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command manages the Department of Defense’s POV ship-ping program and wants service members to know there are several changes in the pro-gram starting 1 May 2014.

Changes occurring with the Global Privately Owned Vehicle contract include: a. New contractor managing daily vehicle processing at vehicle processing centers worldwide b. New Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) addresses for vehicle drop offs and pickupsc. A new website – www.pcsmypov.com for service members to request and track their POV shipmentsd. VPC consolidation; eight (8) VPCs closures in both the continental United States and OCONUS

Effective, 1 May 2014, International Auto Logistics (IAL) will assume full responsibil-ity for POV shipment for the DoD managing daily vehicle processing at vehicle processing centers worldwide; new VPC addresses for vehicle drop offs and pickups. SDDC reported that their goal is for a seamless transition between providers, and they are engaged in daily meetings with International Auto Logistics to ensure as smooth a transition as possible.

With the exception of eight cities (domestic and overseas) that will close their VPC locations, many others will remain in the same city, but provide services at a different loca-tion and street address. Other VPCs, primarily OCONUS, will continue to operate at the same address and location, simply under new management.

Like many of you, I’m sure, I go to George Takei’s Facebook page regularly. He has the same dry sense of humor that I do, and my day isn’t complete without at least a quick glance at his page. Most people know Mr. Takei – Uncle George to his fans – as Mr. Sulu from Star Trek. Lots of folks know that he’s gay, and active in the gay rights community. What some people don’t know is that in 1942, at the age of 5, he was interred by the United States with his own family simply because of his Japanese ancestry. At roughly the same time, in Hawaii, a young pre-med student by the name of Daniel Inouye – also Japanese – enlisted in the Army to fight in the Second World War. He ended up fighting in Italy,

where he received the Bronze Star and a Medal of Honor.

This month is Asian-American/Pacific Islander Month. The theme this year is “I Am Beyond.” At a time when the United States was acting shamefully by putting its own citizens (like Mr. Takei) in jail simply because they were of Japanese ancestry, men like Mr. (later Senator) Inouye stepped up and said, “I am beyond such behavior.” He showed that our national ideals are beyond our occasional personal short-sightedness.

And this is just a simple example. Asian-Americans of all sorts and Pacific Islanders of many backgrounds have stood up for freedom, even when they might not fully free. From Maggie Gee, to Rep. Ladda Duckworth, to ETCM Melvin Bell, USCG, we are reminded that our nation’s ideals “are beyond” those we might have lived in the past.

What does this mean for us here today? We live in Bahrain. We’re all a minority, in some way or another. Whether or not you’re Asian, or Pacific Islander, or something else, or even a service member of one the many nations that work together here, we all have in common a core belief that we’re here to serve a higher cause. The cause of free-dom, and the peace it brings. So as we look back on where we’ve been, let the history of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders – of which they should be proud – give us a desire to look forward. To a bright day of peace and justice in the future.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) — Due to the excellent retention and out-standing recruiting success, the Navy is reinstating the Enlisted Early Transition Program (EETP), according to a message released May 8.

According to NAVADMIN 103/14, EETP allows eligible Sailors in tar-geted ratings to apply for a voluntary early separation up to 24 months prior to their End of Obligated Service as Extended (EAOS). The new version of the program is ongoing, quota-controlled, and will help reduce the need for involuntary force management. Early separation will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Available quotas are identified by rating, paygrade, year group and Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC). A list is available at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/enlisted/community/pages/eetp.aspx. Quotas will be reviewed periodically and updated as required.

Early Separation requests will not be approved for the following Sailors:• With existing Permanent Change of Station orders,• Identified to fill an Individual Augmentee assignment, • In nuclear ratings,• Assigned to a DoD area tour and have not completed the tour requirement, including overseas tour extension incentive programs for which a benefit has been received.

Commanding officers will maintain final disapproval authority and do not need to forward requests they cannot support. Final approval authority rests with Navy Personnel Command, Performance Evaluation Division, with positive commanding officer endorsement.

For more information, read the message at www.npc.navy.mil or contact the Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center at 1-800-U-ASK-NPC (827-5672) or at uasknpc@navy.mil.

Navy Offers Sailors Limited Opportunity to Volunteer for Early Separation

Petty Officer Dingwall displayed outstanding performance of duty and extraordinary professionalism while serving as part of Emergency Management Operations Dispatch from October 2013 through May 2014. MA3 has demonstrated superior leadership and managerial skills, and was selected to be Section Leader where she efficiently processed more than 1,863 emergency situational calls, working in conjunction with Naval Security Force, Fire and Emergency Services, and Emergency Medical Departments. She is recognized throughout the unit as a team player, who is committed to the unit’s mission, welfare, and training of her Sailors by taking the lead as the Departmental Training Petty Officer. MA3 is also an active participant of CSADD and the Junior Enlisted Association; a shining example for “Warrior of the Week!”

MA3 Robert Kivett is currently TAD to U.S. Region Legal Service Office Europe Africa Southwest Asia Det. Bahrain to gather much needed “Fleet” experience prior to attending the Legalman Accession Course in Newport, Rhode Island. Upon joining the legal office Petty Officer Kivett immediately volunteered to fill the empty Assistant Site Coordinator position for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Center on NSA Bahrain and aggressively completed the required training to become an IRS certified tax volunteer. In addition to managing the VITA Center, he personally helped 15 individuals complete their income taxes. Despite no prior exposure to Legalman work, he hit the ground running and completed 6 NAVPERS 1626/7 Report Chits, processed 2 ADSEP packages, drafted 17 Powers of Attorney, scheduled more than 66 legal assistance appointments for deployed and attached units, completed 20 fundraiser requests, assisted with 1 Debarment letter and revised the Debarment Tracker. When given a novel task, he does not shy away from it, instead he uses

available resources and completes the task with minimal guidance. MA3 Kivett constantly strives to better himself and his surroundings personifying what it means to be a well-rounded Sailor and an outstanding Shipmate.

Joseph C. Thomas started working for MWR in 1998 as a Food Outlet Duty Manager. Although he has worked in a number of areas within the MWR Food & Beverage Div., his focus has been on the day-to-day operations in our Beach Club, CPO Club and Officers Club. During our recent carrier visit, Joseph reorganized the courtyard area to improve line flow and reduce wait time (despite the large crowds) resulting in better service to our visitors. During the visit, he held daily briefings with his staff and worked side by side with them throughout the night and through the weekend to ensure that our visitors were provided a safe and enjoyable environment to relax in. This effort would be commendable on its own merits, but this is standard for Joseph who works the evenings during every large ship visit. His efforts to the Fleet and the NSA community are worthy of acknowledgement as a “Warrior of the Week”.

Unnion Charaparambil has worked with MWR since 2004.; His primary work site is at DoDDS cafeteria where he works as a Food Service Worker in the School Meal Program. His exemplary customer service has been consistently acknowledged by faculty and students utilizing the School Meal Program. Going well beyond his normal duties serving lunch; Mr. Charaparambil assists students wherever needed; whether it be assisting the younger children with lunch trays when they are having trouble; ensuring cleanliness or just reminding a child that his shoelaces are untied. He is always willing to help.; When additional work is required at the school or on NSA he willingly volunteers. MWR applauds his continued efforts to provide the best possible customer service to our community.

NIOC Bahrain Holds Active Shooter DrillBy Lt. Jeremy Blanchette NIOC Bahrain

NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY, Bahrain — Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Bahrain led and conducted an active shooter drill in collaboration with Naval Security Force (NSF) Bahrain, April 28. The objec-tives of the drill were to increase command preparedness for an active shooter event. The drill also sought to increase NSF Bahrain’s preparedness to respond to spaces that are restricted and may be unfamiliar. In addition, security per-sonnel had to identify potential roadblocks or issues that would prevent a timely response. As a result, NIOC Bahrain has sparked an impetus to evaluate new proce-dures for NSF access to secure spaces.

Participants from both NIOC and NSF commented that they feel more prepared to deal with an active shooter at the NIOC. NSF lauded the NIOC initiative in requesting and designing such a drill, and

“NIOC Bahrain took the lead for this training and per-formed very well,” said Capt. David Meron, commanding officer of NSA Bahrain. “It is my intention to open this type of training to other tenant commands to request simi-lar training with NSF Bahrain. The goal is to improve the overall emergency response preparedness of all personnel onboard NSA Bahrain.”

NIOC Bahrain intends to conduct more training with NSF Bahrain in an exercise later this year.
