Thoughts from the Chairman
RADM Linda Bird, SC, USN (Ret.)
Your Foundation has been busy! We are only half way through 2016 and the Foundation has been engaged in a multitude of different areas. The hallmark event, the selection of the Foundation scholarships, was completed under the direction of the Scholarship Committee chair, CAPT Ken Epps. All the candidates were outstanding, so the committee had to make some tough decisions. In the end 56 students were selected to receive Foundation scholarships and 31 previ-ous recipients of multi-year scholarships were reaffirmed for a total of $250,000 in scholarships. Watch the Foun-dation website www.usnscf.com for their video selfies, where the students tell us why their scholarship is impor-tant to them. The long anticipated second Oakleaf cruise was a re-sounding success. We had 161 cruisers who enjoyed every moment of the trip from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Ba-sel, Switzerland. Throughout the eight days, in between the tours and river cruising, the passageways, lounge, sun deck and dining room echoed with sea stories, greetings among long ago shipmates and introductions of newly in-troduced friends. Everyone agreed it was an outstanding trip and plans were already being made to join the next cruise in 2018. The best outcome was the $38,200 contrib-uted by the cruisers to the Foundation’s scholarship fund. If you were not able to participate this year, we hope you will join us in 2018. As you can see on page 5 we want to know where you would like to travel. Planning will begin soon for the 2018 adventure. Take this opportunity to let us know. The update of the Strategic Plan under the leadership of Foundation Vice Chair, CAPT (Ret.) Kurt Libby, is pro-gressing. Please take the time to read his update. I also en-courage you to read the new features that introduce you to a Board member and share a Distinguished Alumni’s thoughts on leadership. CAPT Libby and CAPT (Ret.) Bud Schiff are kicking off these two articles, respectively. The Spring 2016 Board of Directors meeting was held in Newport, RI. In addition to a full agenda, we had a tour of the schoolhouse and inducted the Foundation’s 51st Distinguished Alumni, Mr. Scott Wine, Chairman and CEO Polaris Industries Inc. The remainder of 2016 will be equally busy as we work hard to complete the update of the Strategic Plan and continue to develop the new Family Aid and Support Team (FAST) Program. If you have any thoughts about how the Foundation can better serve you or you would like to provide your expertise in a specific support area, you can reach me at [email protected]. I welcome your comments and look forward to hearing from you.

What my service meant to me
Scott Wine, Chairman and CEO of Polaris Industries, was formally made a Distinguished Alumnus of the Sup-ply Corps School in a ceremony held in Newport in May. Recognition as a Distinguished Alumnus is conferred by the Navy Supply Corps Foundation upon “retired and former Navy Supply Corps officers who have distinguished themselves by obtaining significant success in the public or private sector, who credit their Supply Corps experi-ence as a basic foundation of further professional achievements.” Wine, a 1989 graduate of the Naval Academy, served as a Supply Corps officer until 1996, including service aboard the USS Lewis B. Puller. He be-came CEO of Polaris, a market leader in off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles and on-road electric/hybrid powered vehicles in 2008 af-

Wine inducted as Distinguished Alumnuster serving as President of Fire Safety Americas, a division of United Tech-nologies. He holds an MBA from the Uni-
versity of Maryland and serves on the boards of US Bancorp, Terex Cor-poration and the Greater Twin Cities United Way.
Foundation Chairman RADM (Ret.) Linda Bird presented Mr. Scott Wine with a lithograph of the Navy Supply Corps School in the ceremony recognizing Wine’s in-duction as the school’s 51st Distinguished Alumnus. The Commanding Officer of the school, CAPT Kristin Fabry, assisted.
Becoming a Navy Supply Corps of-ficer was the perfect entry-level job for me - a pivotal experience that greatly shaped my life. After Supply Corps School in Ath-ens, Ga., I was assigned aboard the USS Berkeley (DDG 15), including three combat tours in the Gulf of Tonkin off the North Vietnamese coast. Serving on board a ship at sea was the most grueling job I ever had - intense and exhausting. We worked all day, seven days a week. Sleep deprivation was routine. As a brand new ensign, I needed a lot of help and working with experienced

and motivated Chiefs and Petty Officers I could rely on was essential. After being released from active duty, I remained an active participant in the Ready Reserves for another 20+ years while forging a successful career in the life insurance and financial ser-vices industries. I’m still amazed at how much respon-sibility the Navy gives a junior officer. A taste for business wasn’t all I took with me when I left active duty after two years. The leadership and management lessons, skills and experiences I gained, and the magnitude of responsibilities I assumed would never have been avail-

The OakleafBoard member closeup CAPT Kurt Libby, SC, USN (Ret.), Vice Chair
As President of the Bay Area Chap-ter for the past six years and now Vice Chair of the Foundation Board, retired Supply Corps CAPT (Ret.) Kurt Libby wears several hats. In addition to serv-ing as Vice Chair, he is also Chair of the Foundation Governance Committee, overseeing the updating of the strategic plan, currently underway, as well as the Foundation bylaws and the nominating committee. A 1966 graduate of the University of Minnesota, Libby was a member of the Navy Supply Corps School class of ’67. During his career, he served in numerous afloat and ashore assign-ments, including a tour in Vietnam, and earned a masters degree from the Naval Postgraduate School. His final tour was as Commanding Officer, Naval Supply Center Oakland. Retired from the Navy for more than twenty years, Libby has stayed active and involved, initially doing consulting assignments and, until two years ago, putting his logistics skills to work as a purchasing manager for the University of California, Berkeley. Kurt and his wife
Janet, who have two grown children, live in Alameda Calif. But his heart was always with the Navy. “I loved the Supply Corps, the camaraderie and the idea that you could go to a Supply Corps gather-ing anywhere and still have that connection,” he said. It’s difficult to maintain that relationship after leav-ing active duty, he added, and that’s why he is such a strong supporter of the work of the Foundation, “which helps keep that connection alive. We have lifelong friendships and this organization is an investment in the rest of our lives.” Libby got involved in his local chapter and then the Foundation Board for a simple reason, he said. “I know that non profits exist on volunteer support. If we’ve gotten a lot out, we’ve got to give back.” When he’s not busy giving back, Kurt and his wife love to travel. He plays golf a couple of times a week, al-though “I’m not getting any better!” he says with a laugh. The couple enjoys bike riding, and especially biking the

identify and give appropriate recogni-tion to retired and former Navy Supply Corps officers who have distinguished themselves by obtaining significant suc-cess in the public or private sector. As such, it is the intent of the Foundation to honor those retired and former Navy Supply Corps officers, (Active and Re-serve), who credit their Supply Corps experience as a basic foundation of fur-ther professional achievements.
Volunteer of the Year Award - Each chapter should select a high impact Volunteer of the Year (Active/Reserve/Civil Service/Retired/Former) and forward a recom-mendation for consideration. Chapter Presidents are encouraged to oversee nomination of the best volunteer in their chapter. That said, nominations are open to all NSCF members and will be considered.
Chapter of the Year Award – The great-est strengths of our Foundation are the outstanding programs initiated by each chapter to further the mission of the Foundation. Your chapter is eligible for national recognition and special resources. All that is required is a brief, open format run-down of the chapter’s programs and their impact, both in the NSCF mission overall as well as in the local community.

We are continuing along our strate-gic plan update path. Committee chairs have reviewed the goals of the existing strategic plan and updated them. This month the committee chairs incorpo-rated the comments from last year’s survey and made additional refine-ments to the revised strategic plan. The comments from the survey were heavily weighted toward the mission of “tak-ing care of our own.” There were two primary subsets: taking care of others and taking care of ourselves. In the latter category are comments regarding career guidance and tran-sition. They range from mentoring, job advice, duty station choices, and spouse employment assistance to ca-reer transition and subsequent civilian job placement. This committee was a

major concern because it was the pri-mary interest area for survey respond-ers, but we didn’t have a committee chair. I am thrilled to announce that
CDR (Ret.) Bill Boucek has agreed to take on this very important chairman-ship. Bill is the perfect person for the job because he has unlimited enthu-siasm and drive, and also because he is currently going through the career transition process himself. In the “taking care of others” cat-egory, the survey responders were very
concerned about filling the gaps left by other Navy programs for helping families of deceased members. They want to make sure that not only are the current needs met, but that there is an effort made to continually embrace these families in the Supply Corps community. The other “taking care of others” concern was to continue offering scholarships to as wide a group of supply community recipients as possible. The next step in the update process will be to gather all of the commit-tee chairs and selected other inter-ested parties in a group meeting. The output will be a final draft to be presented to the Chapter Presidents and Board of Directors at the fall 2016 meeting.

The OakleafSpouses CornerMaking the not so social media work for familiesBy Karren Polowczyk
Twitter allows you to have 140 characters. The U.S. Navy family gram allowed 50! Can you imagine being the newly wed spouse of a submari-ner on your first deployment, living 3,000+ miles away from your family and only communicating six times a deployment with your new husband? Oh and this 50 words included their name and rank! You couldn’t ask ques-tions or give any bad news, it was a one-way conversation! These family grams weren’t very private either– the radiomen saw all of them and they might even be reviewed by the Captain before your husband saw it. That was 1988 and we were living in beautiful Hawaii. John was stationed on the USS Queenfish (SSN 651). Our dog was caged at a state quarantine station for 120 days. I’m pretty sure every fam-ily gram was the same……X number of days left in quarantine, the sun is
shining, I went to the beach, I miss you, love Karren. That is 21 words so you get the idea. Early on the information might have been exciting like: I moved into our house, we have an address, or our household goods came or the car arrived. There was never a family gram like the one you really wanted to send…. The house is full of ants and there is gecko poop all over the place. Your mother won’t stop asking when you’ll be home and the insurance company won’t leave me alone about that accident you had before you deployed! I can’t find a job. The car won’t start again. The dog ran away. Your brother will meet you at the pier; he’ll be here for a month! I had to figure it out and I had to make it work. So in this instant world of social media, face time, and Skype where the deployed spouse knows instantly what is going on before you tell him I’m think-
ing those family grams weren’t so bad after all! Karren Polowczyk is married to Rear Ad-miral John Polowczyk (OPNAV, N41) who is a geographical bachelor while she lives in Virginia Beach with her children and three schnauzers. They will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary in August.

Board members gathered in Newportable for a 21 year-old college graduate in any private sector job. I learned how to interact with a va-riety of people – from brilliant and in-spirational leaders, who quickly became role-models for me, to some who weren’t so effective. I vividly remember those whom I admired, and I remember many of the others too, and learned from them as well. I tell executives to rely on their first-lev-el managers; to set an example themselves; and to praise in public when someone has done a good job. All these are standard operating procedure in the Navy, but they’re a rarity in the business world. I’m still guided by the lessons I learned during my formative Navy years. I gave the Navy two full years of active duty and 20 more part-time Reserve years. What the Navy gave me is immeasurable.

This time I am writing about a moment in my career. When reading about Fat Leonard in the news and the embarrassing career crash of another Navy officer, it turns my stomach. I hope it is the same with you. It brought back memories. It seems like officer leadership on nuclear carriers in WestPac were par-ticularly targeted for embarrassment as Glenn Defense Marine dishonestly performed husbanding services for U.S. Navy ships. Supply officers afloat know that when they buy port ser-vices, anything that can be counted can be corrupted. It was October 1962 when the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier made its first deployment and visited its first foreign port and met its first husbanding agent. The carrier was the USS Enterprise (CVA(N) 65). The husbanding agent was LT McKinnon. In the summer of 1961 my wife and I arrived in Italy where I was to become part of Naval Support Activity, Naples and Navy’s Purchasing Officer in the Mediterranean. There was a Navy Pur-chasing Office in London but my small office of five had the task for the Med. We stayed in a “pensione” along with another incoming Supply Corps officer, Bob Frampton, and an outgoing Line lieutenant in route to our Supply Corps School, John Ruehlin. I hope they are both smiling. After eleven months buying ship supplies, port services, boat repair, food, even conducing scrap metal sales in Sic-ily, CAPT Ray Cope asked if I would like to move north to Pisa. I would relieve LT Larry Krukin at the Italian airport
in an assignment with the United Na-tions providing US Army support to UN forces in the Gaza Strip. I would work for a civilian, get a letter fitness report, and no doubt remain a lieutenant. I said yes. When pointing out that an officer could not get two sets of orders in one fiscal year without a “SecNav Finding,” I was told not to worry. The household goods contractor was one of my guys, and he would be happy to move property of the “tenente” and get paid someday when orders came through. I was off to Pisa with 10 days in-route admiring the beauty of Switzerland. Without orders, no need to hurry.
A year later after supporting the Unit-ed Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), traveling to the Gaza Strip as a UN civil-ian and in uniform as a Canadian Army Captain, I got a call from Naples. There was a new sheriff in town. A commander on CTF 63 staff just made captain, he was not happy with Mediterranean ship support, and the Chief had ordered him ashore to square things away. His name was W.R. Dowd Jr., a known hell raiser. “Wally” Dowd, said “McKinnon, can you handle more work at Pisa?” Wisely LT McKinnon said yes. That was when I became a “husband-ing agent.” Armed with a pad of S&A 44’s, I set off to become Wally Dowd’s boarding officer for Riviera ports. It was a whirlwind year. But then somebody has to go Genoa, Leghorn, La Spezia, and rough spots like Portofino.
That fall the famed USS Enterprise, Navy’s first nuclear carrier, was off to its first Mediterranean deployment. It was the Navy’s and Admiral Rickover’s’ great Surface Navy success. The deploy-ment also had to be a success. The ship headed to Genoa as its first foreign port. Of course I knew about Enterprise. Be-yond that I confess great naïveté. The Supply Officer was CDR Vince Lascara; a SUPPO today’s supply officers would panic to know that Rickover kept on board for five years. With my Fiat parked on the pier, a wife and one year old son tucked safely in a pensione, I was among the first to walk on board. I identified myself as LT McKinnon and asked to see the Supply Officer. I immediately got chewed out by the OOD. I had not been in uniform for almost two years…my thoughtless civvies were unaccept-able. “This is a war ship,” he shouted. CDR Lascara was friendly and gra-cious to this first husbanding agent for a nuclear carrier who looked more Italian than nautical. Following instructions, I said “Welcome to Wally Dowd’s Italy.” Whirlwind days followed. Water and garbage barges, FF&V, cheese and bread, port services, even off-loading and ship-ping aviation DLRs back to the U.S. via MAC. With a Genovese ship chandler as guide, dollars were spread across Bella Italia. Bills were paid by an Army Finance Office in Leghorn. That is when I picked up a lesson used throughout my career. A ship does not need a base for foreign shore support. It just needs a Supply Corps officer, a pad of purchase orders, accounting data, and an office to pay bills.

Good sea stories never end. Twelve years later RADM Wally Dowd as the 32nd Chief and CDR McKinnon as EA were rushed to the Med by Admiral “Ike” Kidd at the outbreak of the Yon Kippur War to “support the Sixth Fleet as necessary.” The Soviets were threat-ening intervention at the battle for the Golan Heights, all ships were ordered to assemble off Crete, Sailors on leave in Europe were told to head for Souda Bay, and a supply line was established between Norfolk and a small air field where NAF Sigonella had a detachment. Although it did not work for Wally, he ordered the Navy Cargo Handling and Port Group at Williamsburg to head with its cargo handlers to Crete. LT Jim Jaudon at NAVSUP’s regional contract-ing office in Naples, that Wally had established three years before, was or-dered to Athens, Greece, with a pad of purchase orders. Our job became setting up an instant base.
Wally took charge and established a war room. Available Navy assets were inventoried and a list made of what would be needed to handle incoming cargo and passengers. It was trucks, aircraft refuelers, forklifts, buses, etc. We would set up the operation from what
was available on the Athens market. I read the list by phone to LT Jaudon. His purchase orders and my NAVSUP accounting data did the trick. Jim asked how he was to get the vehicles to Crete. I said rent a ferry. He did. With Sup-ply Corps LT Paulino Contraras, who spoke several languages as Jim’s partner, equipment was rolling off ferries at the small port of Souda the next day. We no doubt made a lot of happy Greek truck drivers wealthy.
Before heading home we stopped by La Madalena on Sardinia to see a submarine tender that had just arrived. Hearing how hard it was for cargo to get to Sardinia (and families to get to the Italian mainland for vacation) Wally set up ferry service between Civitavecchia and La Madalena. Again I provided the accounting data. Good sea stories never end. Neither do career lessons. As CO NSD Subic I set up ferry-like service between Subic and Diego Gar-cia, and as COMNAVSUP established a regional contracting center in Singa-pore. Called a “non-base base,” again it was just a bunch of Supply Corps officers with pads of purchase orders in their hands. First afterthought. I was SUPPO of the USS Princeton when in the fall of 1968 we were ordered from the coast of Vietnam to Singapore for R&R and to test the capabilities of a new com-mercial dockyard that had been carved out of HMS Terror, a British base that was closing. Two officers from CTF 73’s Detachment Foxtrot came on board to develop the work package. They were in civilian clothes. I chewed them out shouting, “This is a war ship.” What goes around comes around. Second afterthought. Buying things on the waterfronts of Italy was a lesson of never hanging out with contractors, taking meals or favors, and staying away from photo ops. I don’t know what those carrier officers were thinking, and I sus-pect one former CNO is sorry to have seen his picture in the papers with a fat guy now in jail. As we say in Missouri, “Don’t do stupid.” This time I had to tell a story be-cause no one else would. Send yours to [email protected]

Improving leadership skills through educationBy CAPT Ted Digges, SC, USN (Ret.)Executive Director, The American College’s Penn Mutual Center for Veterans Affairs
Career Transition:
In 2012, Navy public affairs reservist LT Tia Nichole McMillen was awarded a full scholarship to attend the American College of Financial Services, located outside Philadelphia. McMillen, whose day job is as a strategic communication planner with NAVSUP, was motivated by a desire to improve her leadership skills. She learned about the American College and its scholarship program for veterans when writing a speech for the Chief of Supply Corps to deliver there on the anniversary of September 11. “When I saw how the college cared for our veterans and their families, I knew it was a community I wanted to join,” she said. McMillen, a graduate of Messiah College who holds a Master of Science degree in business and organizational
communication from Northeastern, completed the Master in Management (MSM) program at the American Col-lege with an emphasis on leadership in 2013. As affiliated faculty at both Messiah College and Elizabethtown College, she credits the program, with its emphasis on working in small teams, with helping her learn to create “a safe, productive environment in which a team can thrive. The American College taught me many things,” she said, “but the most important was how to be a valuable team member.” In addition to the highly accredited MSM program, the American College specializes in educating professionals who are either in or want to begin a ca-reer as a financial services professional. Anyone considering taking advantage of
this opportunity offered to active duty, veterans and their spouses may contact me at [email protected] or check out the website at veterans.theamericancollege.edu.

Giving back in big ways has become a recurring theme for the Navy Supply Corps Foundation Patuxent River Chap-ter. Its most recent initiative, led by LTs CJ Gallagher and Patrick Coughlin, was to find more ways of supporting the homeless population of greater South-ern Maryland – specifically Southern Maryland’s homeless veterans. The Three Oaks Center in Lexington Park, Md., has been on a mission since 1996 to assist the homeless population with housing, meals, and tools to pro-mote self-sufficiency. Partnering with Three Oaks Center, LTs Gallagher and
Patuxent River Chapter members reach out to local homeless vetsBy LT Dave Fischer
Coughlin have added the chapter’s con-siderable talent and abilities to the cause. The center was recently awarded an $80,000 Maryland state grant to procure a new modular building and $140,000 on an annual recurring basis from St. Mary’s County. Slated for completion in June, this facility will provide additional crisis beds, a computer lab, VA office, and staff offices for counselors to provide support to an additional 170 patrons annually. On Saturday April 30th twenty chap-ter volunteers turned out to build the landscaping, move in all the donated furniture and construct a vegetable
garden for the center. “The turnout by chapter members and families was outstanding and we were able to finish the build day ahead of schedule,” said LT Coughlin. “This really was a commu-nity effort with additional volunteers from Booze Allen Hamilton, the Three Oaks Center, and Mission BBQ who also catered the build.” The chapter plans on continuing its involvement with the center by volun-teering to teach resume writing, con-ducting mock interviews, and providing support to the center’s administrators.
Members of NSCF-Pax River, Booze Allen Hamilton, Mission BBQ, Three Oaks Center staff and residences came together to landscape, deliver, and set up donated furniture.
Montel Williams spoke at the Washington DC Chapter Sup-ply Corps Birthday Ball, energizing the crowd as he spoke about his military experience in the Marines Corps and Navy, his rise to fame by becoming a television personality, and more importantly his dedicated role in helping other military veterans. Mr. Wil-liams urged the crowd to get more involved in veteran affairs and to “take care of our brothers and sisters no longer in uniform.” He emphasized military logisticians would be the ones to get that job done right.

To the Editor: I love this new book, “Ready for Sea.” Part of the reason why is that I decided to reach out to a dozen of the knuck-leheads I remember by sending them a copy of this book. Maybe you think this is a good deed I did for them but guess what…it was the other way around. I got back in the mail some of the most touching letters and notes…we made connections again after all these years. So as usual, I got back much more than I gave. You may want to try it. It wasn’t a brilliant idea but man did it work!

$250,000 awarded to scholarship winners for 2016-2017(Continued from page 1)of the applicants were redacted on the application in order to remove any bias in the selection process. The 56 scholarships awarded were worth $132,500. This is in addition to 31 scholarships valued at $117,500 that were awarded previously as multiyear awards. Total scholarship awards for this year total $250,000. Of the total schol-arships awarded, 14 were multi-year scholarships while 42 were single-year scholarships. Of the 56 recipients select-
ed this year, 27 are currently attending college and 29 will be entering college or university for the first time. There were no applications received from spouses returning to school full or part time, or from students wish-ing to attend a community college or trade school. Of concern as well was the continued drop in the number of applications received from children of the supply enlisted community. The Foundation will also fund $10,000
four year memorial scholarships for the children of Supply Corps officers who died while on active duty. Next year’s applications will be avail-able on the Foundation website at www.usnscf.com after December 20, 2016.
