For centuries men have fought valiant battles, discovered majestic new worlds and personified strength in different

cultures and countries. There is no disputing that men have been a symbol of greatness in any language or era.

Despite early placement in a domestic role where they were limited and restricted, women have struggled and fought to remove the title of secondary citizen throughout history. The pressures of World War I, allowed women to advance their rights and status dramatically. It was at that time when women were called upon to replenish and replace their country’s workforce to support the war effort due to the millions of men who volunteered or were drafted into national armies. Women’s increased social standing as producers outside the home even helped them secure the right to vote through the final push of the women’s suffrage movement. Women again broke boundaries during the Second World War as they expanded their roles in civil and military circles.

A woman in the United States can pursue almost any profession she would like, from something purely intellectual to one that requires a great deal of athleticism or creativity. Regardless of her aspirations she is also free to choose a life and career in the armed forces, though that, too, was born through struggle.

From April 2013 through April 2014, the United States Navy Memorial is paying special tribute to servicewomen with the Year of Military Women exhibit, recognizing past contributions and celebrating the future involvement of women in the armed forces.

“It’s important that we understand what women in the past have done to get us where we are today,” said Master Chief Aircraft Maintenanceman (AW/SW) Amy Leach, aircraft intermediate maintenance department’s (AIMD) leading chief petty officer. “And it’s important that women today set the tone for future females who follow in their footsteps.”

1978 was the first year women were authorized to serve on U.S. Navy ships. However, they were limited to tenders, oilers and other types of auxiliary ships. It wasn’t until 1994 that women were permitted to serve aboard all naval ships, but the overall process of integration was slow at first.

“Even after they allowed women on ships, I was still often the only female at my command,” said Leach.

According to Master Chief Aviation Ordnanceman (AW/SW) Lawrence Henry, weapons department’s leading chief petty officer, the addition of women to naval ships was a challenging adjustment.

“Females boarded ships with a mission – to prove a point,” said L. Henry. “I was a first class at the time and I had to step up my game to compete

against my new female shipmates.”In addition to naval ships, women were authorized to

fulfill billets at squadrons and with forward-deployed Marine units.

After females were given the opportunity to forward deploy, Lt. Shani Henry, medical department’s administration officer, decided to pursue it as a professional goal. While stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C., as a part of the 2nd Force Service Support Group (FSSG) with the Marine Corps, she received the chance to deploy to Iraq with the 1st Marine Division.

“I was going to make one of those two things happen: deploy with the Marines or get stationed on a ship. The opportunity was available and I wanted to take advantage of it,” said S. Henry.

Although many options were made available for women, there were still restrictions, including the ability to serve on a submarine or to participate in the infantry.

Integrating genders on ships, submarines and overseas has been a concern for the Navy and for the U.S. Armed Forces. There were concerns about romantic or sexual relationships and the complications of separating the sexes in combat scenarios and close quarters.

“You have to maintain a sense of professionalism,” said S. Henry. “We’re here to serve our country and that’s a huge honor.”

The consistent honorable service of women in our Navy has resulted in great progress over time. In 2010, the first group of U.S. female submariners completed nuclear power school. They officially reported onboard two

ballistic-missile and two guided-missile submarines in November 2011.

“Every woman should be given the opportunity to serve,” said Lt. Cmdr. Jessica Betz, reactor department’s main propulsion assistant. “I worked for the Royal Navy in London and I got to talk to a lot of other international navies who have had women on submarines and in the infantry well before the U.S., and they don’t have any issues. It’s a way of life.”

In January 2013, the U.S. Armed Forces overturned the 1994 ban restricting women from serving in certain combat positions, potentially clearing the way for the presence of women on the front lines and in elite special warfare commands.

“As long as females are held to the same physical and mental standards as males, there should be no reason why they can’t compete to enroll in special operations forces,” said L. Henry.

Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman (SWCC) and Navy SEALs are the only ratings still unavailable to women in the U.S. Navy. However, according to a speech given by Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Leon Panetta to the Pentagon Press on Jan. 24, U.S. military services have until January 2016 to seek special exceptions if they believe any positions must remain closed to women. Otherwise, the services must continue to draw up a plan to open up all units to women.

Like her shipmates and with the spirit of her predecessors who proved the military woman’s worth, Betz feels “the limelight is on us. It’s our decision to choose how we wear this uniform.”

Witnessthe FitnessAmid the rhythmic clank of

metal dropping on metal, the smell of sweat in the

air, and the dimly-lit sight of determined patrons subscribing to a culture of fitness, one Sailor stands out.

Lt. Kacey M. Bowman, aircraft intermediate maintenance department’s (AIMD) IM3 division officer (DIVO), has made a dedicated effort to shed fat, build muscle and transcend all Navy physical readiness standards by training for body building competitions.

“I was a tomboy growing up and I got involved in a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, biking, surfing and swimming - all of which I still enjoy,” Bowman said. “I grew up playing sports. I played basketball, softball, football and

tennis all through high school.”The inspiration to evolve from

average fitness enthusiast to body builder was ignited by the fitness publications she frequently perused and the encouragement and support of her shipmates.

“I became interested in how fit the women were,” Bowman said. “I looked at the physical transformations as a result of body building and it got me motivated and excited about making a difference for myself. I asked the guys I worked with who were body builders how I could get into competitions and they told me and let me know they believed I could be successful.”

After she was motivated to ask the question of “how,” Bowman began researching and educating herself before eventually finding a

trainer.“Once I started training, it was

very addictive,” Bowman said. “When you start seeing results and begin to understand how positive body building is, it pays off. I am under my boot camp weight, which feels amazing. My cholesterol is low, my blood pressure is at a healthy low and I feel healthier than when I was 18.”

Her results were maximized by her strict diet. Bowman discovered through her research that nutrition plays a central role in physical fitness; the balance of diet and exercise had an exponential impact.

“If you eat a lot of processed foods heavy in preservatives you are not going to lose weight the way you would if you ate lean proteins, fruits, vegetables and good fats,”

Bowman explained. “Training is 80 percent diet. What you put into your body is what you get out; if you are feeding your body junk that is what you are going to get in return. You need to find a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats. ”

Maintaining a diet is always a challenge, but especially difficult while underway. Long working hours and responsibilities that may need to be satisfied at a moment’s notice can easily disrupt a normal or planned diet. Bowman said she relies on her resolution and dietary knowledge to adapt to the varying routine while at sea.

“I am very sodium sensitive, so I drink a lot of water,” Bowman said. “When the ship is underway I drink a gallon-and-a-half a day to process sodium through my system. I eat a lot of vegetables, but I stay away from veggies with high amounts of starch like corn or peas and eat more fibrous veggies like sweet potatoes. For protein I eat hard boiled eggs, turkey, chicken or fish, anything that is not heavily processed. I steer clear of deserts and fatty junk food.”

She has workout routines tailored to underway periods as well. At sea she must not only make time to work out, but compete with all

other gym-going Sailors.“While we are at sea I do a boot

camp style routine that has to do with muscle fatigue and exertion,” Bowman explained. ” You have to be very flexible with your schedule. I have learned various types of workouts I can do with the different equipment available, so if I don’t have access to one machine, I can use another that will give me the same results. As a backup I also bring resistance bands.”

Her dedication to health has

positively impacted all aspects of her life, including her day-to-day life aboard Carl Vinson. She said she has more energy, increased endurance and no knee or joint pain, which she attributes to her conditioning.

The increased energy Bowman has discovered is not only an asset to her, but also to the Sailors she leads as well. She follows her spoken philosophy with devoted action.

On 3 June the Navy officially ended the Perform to Serve (PTS) program and

replaced it with Career Navigator. This was done to streamline the re-enlistment process and give Sailors more control of their individual career path. The Voice met with Chief Navy Counselor (SW/AW) Damion Perry to find out what these changes mean for you.

PTS to

Career Navigator

7 PG

Q: What are some of the advantages to Career Navigator?A: In the old PTS program, Sailors didn’t necessarily understand the manning aspect. There was a misconception that if a Sailor advanced quickly and received “early promote” evaluations, they were guaranteed a quota. If, however, they were in an over-manned skill set, they didn’t receive one. With Career Navigator, the manning piece will be more visible and a Sailor will have the time and resources to act accordingly.

Q: What are some of the challenges in the new system?A: Sailors need to understand that they have to take a more active role in their career directions. In the short term, there is going to be a learning curve. Sailors have to establish access to Career Waypoints. Within Career Waypoints is where a Sailor will make known their intention to either re-enlist or separate. Understanding Sailors’ intentions is important to the Navy because it helps predict manning levels. It is also where a Sailor will see an individually tailored breakdown of manning levels in their skill set, year group and rank. They will also be able to see alternative skill sets if they are considering a rating conversion.

Q: What will the breakdown in Career Waypoints look like?A: When a Sailor goes into Career Waypoints, they’ll see they fall into one of three groups. They will either be in an Open Re-enlistment category for undermanned skill sets, a Balanced Re-enlistments category for manned skill sets, or a Competitive Re-enlistment category for over-manned skill sets.Sailors in the Open Re-enlistment group who are eligible and whose requests are approved by their command will receive automatic approval to reenlist on their first application.Sailors in the Balanced Re-enlistment group are looked

at by year group. Sailors in undermanned year groups will receive approval to re-enlist.Sailors in the Competitive Re-enlistment group will be “racked and stacked”, just like in the PTS system, and will be subject to available quotas.

Q: For those Sailors in the Competitive Re-enlistment group, what would help them to be competitive?A: Just like PTS, a Sailor’s evaluations and their ability to advance will be the critical. And, like PTS, their previous success is no guarantee they will be able to re-enlist in their skill set. If they are denied a quota, they have to choose to switch to an open skill set or move to the Selected Reserve (SELRES).

Q: How has the reenlistment timeline changed with the switch from PTS to Career Navigator?A: With the Career Navigator the timeline has been extended from 12 to 13 months. The idea is that they will have more time to complete the re-enlistment process before entering their detailing window. The timeline for Sailors that are 13 months from their Soft End of Active Obligated Service (SEAOS) breaks down like this:13-10 months -- Sailors have three options for submission: they can request an in-rate quota, they can select a rating conversion, or they can opt to transition to the SELRES.9-6 months – If a Sailor hasn’t received an in-rate quota by this point, his or her options narrow to either a rating conversion or SELRES.6-3 months -- During this period a Sailor’s options are limited to a transition to SELRES.

Q: How do you see the shift to Career Waypoints as part of the big picture of Sailors’ careers?A: Sailors need to change the mentality of having one job their entire carrier. If Sailors want to stay Navy, they are going to need to be flexible and realize they might not have the same job.

Sailors aboard Carl Vinson are constantly preparing themselves and the ship for operational excellence. The Maintenance

and Material Management Assessment (3MA) is just one of the evaluations the Navy uses to evaluate their success, and the Maintenance and Material Management (3M) office is leading the way in preparations for this inspection, scheduled for September 2013.

“3M Assessments are designed to look at how we manage our program, how we perform, and how we maintain our equipment,” explained Senior Chief Machinist’s Mate (SW/AW) Joselito Gallarte, Carl Vinson’s 3M coordinator. “It measures how we effectively document our material condition and schedule and track maintenance.”

During 3MA, inspectors will conduct multiple spot checks with various work-centers to evaluate the proficiency of the Sailors performing maintenance and evaluated the overall success of the ship’s 3M program by auditing spot checks already conducted by the crew.

“The spot checks allow them to see and verify how our maintenance personnel perform the maintenance and display how we actually maintain the equipment,” added Gallarte.

Historically, Carl Vinson Sailors have achieved the fleet standard when it comes to 3M assessments. However, based on the 2011 3MA inspection statistics, the most common discrepancy across the fleet was simply failing to perform the steps as written.

The maxim, “Read a step; do a step” works, but problems arise when Sailors are not familiar with or have poor knowledge of their equipment and systems.

“Across the board, every maintenance person needs to be trained on each piece of equipment prior to performing maintenance on them,” Gallarte said. “It is obvious during a spot check when a Sailor is not familiar with the equipment prior to the spot check.”

Because maintenance is an all hands effort, involving the most junior to the most senior Sailor, it’s necessary for leaders with specific skill sets and knowledge to help instruct and inform our Sailors who aren’t as proficient, Gallarte added.

The work center supervisor is the most important influence on a maintenance person’s knowledge and understanding since because of their comprehensive knowledge of their department or division’s maintenance, said Senior Chief Machinery Repairman (SW/AW) Christian Laforteza, Carl

Vinson’s future 3M coordinator.“It is up to the work center supervisor to make sure all of

their Sailors are ready to do their maintenance,” Gallarte said. “If you don’t execute proper training, the end result is not going to be good.”

Along with training Sailors, work center supervisors schedule weekly work center maintenance and supervise its proper accomplishment. They ensure the status of planned maintenance correctly reflects on the PMS schedules and facilitate the prompt reporting of material deficiencies and completed maintenance actions.

Knowing their equipment and the proper way to maintain it is the principle take-away for each Sailor to safeguard this ship from future problems. After receiving the proper training, it is the responsibility of every maintenance person to properly use the ship’s resources to conduct their maintenance correctly.

“When they don’t understand the procedure, it is imperative that they stop what they are doing and ask questions. This will help prevent most hits during 3MA,” Gallarte explained. “As inspectors, we know almost automatically when a maintenance person is not prepared or not comfortable with the maintenance or the equipment. But, if they took the time to ask their chief or their work center supervisor, we can see that too.”

Proper maintenance performance extends beyond passing a 3MA. The 3M program receives the emphasis and monitoring it does because small discrepancies can be easily fixed long before they become larger, more costly and time-consuming fixes. Something as simple as a small adjustment can prevent costly corrective maintenance or a dangerous situation later. If critical equipment on a carrier were to fail or break down in a hostile environment, it would not only jeopardize the mission of the ship, but those of other units as well.

Performing proper preventative maintenance to all equipment onboard the ship can extend its lifespan and aid in reaching full operational potential. Since each aircraft carrier is designed to successfully function for 50 years, preventative maintenance is an essential task all Sailors can perform to ensure full functionality long after their tour has ended.

Arriving to the ship undesignated made me anxious, because there

were too many uncertain things,” said Airman Richard Maenza, who started working in weapons department upon arrival. “I didn’t know where I would be working, or what I would be doing. I didn’t even know anyone on the ship. But I kept a positive attitude because I was confident that I could prove myself as a Sailor.”

Undesignated Sailors arrive to the fleet without a rate. They enlist knowing they will be seamen, airmen or firemen who will have to choose a future rate after a set period of time, while others become undesignated during “A” school.

Upon arrival to their first duty station, all undesignated Sailors are tasked with earning their way into a rate, while also tackling their responsibilities in a department.

“I joined the Navy as an undesignated seaman because I was ready to join and I didn’t want to wait,” said Seaman Isaac Garza, who will be frocked to Yeoman 3rd Class at the pinning ceremony later this month. “Since the other jobs available didn’t interest me, I figured I’d pick a job once I was in the fleet.”

For new Sailors, like Garza, the undesignated path can become arduous when they check onboard a ship. The unfamiliar military environment coupled with a lack of knowledge of the administrative processes, the uncertainty of their career path and the pressure to make a positive first impression can be incredibly stressful.

Garza arrived aboard Carl Vinson in November 2012 and

“As a leader I want to lead by example,” said Bowman. “I want to make sure I am doing all I can to make myself bigger, faster and stronger and I hope that influences others to do the same.”

Along with influencing her shipmates and improving her personal and professional well-being, Bowman has used fitness to reach a goal. However, she said it was not at all easy, either in port or at sea.

“Preparation for a competition was a challenge,” said Bowman. “It took a lot of will power to keep to my routine at sea as well as to not give in to the temptations at home. My first body-building competition was last December. It was the last show of the year and the biggest show on the West Coast. Being on stage was nerve racking,

but it was on my bucket list, I did it and it was well worth it.”

And it has made her want to compete more. Placing near the middle of 500 competitors, Bowman said she now knows “what to work on to make herself a better athlete for the next competition.”

Her next competition is scheduled to take place in August.

“It is a grueling 12-week circuit of weights and cardio training with a strict diet,” Bowman explained. “It takes all of my will power. It is 12 weeks of work for 30 seconds of posing for judges and an audience.”

Bowman can point to a number of ways body building has improved her life and she welcomes others to join her and find their own path to physical fitness. She recommends Sailors start with a realistic personal goal like trying to lose weight or body fat, gaining muscle, running faster or simply looking better.

was assigned to deck department. Like other undesignated seamen he was indoctrinated in shipboard life and taught the basics of seamanship and a Sailor’s work aboard an aircraft carrier.

“When an undesignated seaman arrives aboard, we mentor them and assist them in getting adapted to Navy life and Navy culture,” explained Chief Boatswain’s Mate (SW/AW) Sorrells Claiborne. “We also make sure that they get all their basic qualifications before they move into their next department, if they choose not to stay with us.”

While learning their way around the ship, building new relationships with fellow Sailors and working long hours, undesignated Sailors are also responsible for staying on track to “strike” for a rate.

Striking, the process of qualifying for a rate, involves extensive on-the job training (OJT) and the completion of required correspondence courses. In order for an undesignated Sailor to strike in to a rate, he or she must be eligible to take the E-4 exam.

Because of these requirements, some Sailors spend a few months as undesignated, while others are undesignated for more than a year.

The great majority of undesignated seamen are assigned to deck department, Claiborne said. There they are given duties that involve manual labor and upkeep of the ship – like painting, working at the helm of the ship and standing watch.

Once eligible for the E-4 exam, their designated career counselor explains to them what ratings they qualify for based on their Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) score. From that list of eligibility, they are allowed to apply for rates that are undermanned. Each Sailor is allowed to choose three preferred rates.

Out of those three rates, they are allowed to test for the rate that has an opening. There is often a waiting period to see if the available quotas aren’t already taken by other undesignated Sailors. If more than one rate is open, they will be allowed to test for their top pick of those available. If they pass, they may go to an “A” School if the rate requires it, or immediately begin working in that department.

For Yeoman 2nd Class (SW/AW) Brandy Smith, the transition from undesignated Sailor to yeoman was very successful. After spending 11 months as an undesignated seaman, and under the guidance of a mentor, she was eligible to strike for a rate. Today she is a dual-qualified second class petty officer with less than two years in the Navy.

“I struck for the rate I wanted,” said Yeoman 2nd Class Petty Officer (SW/AW) Brandy Smith. “When I got into the yeoman rate I was very happy, but I am even happier now looking back because of all the things that I have accomplished since arriving on the ship.

“I’ve met all my short term goals in the Navy so far, and that is a great feeling,” Smith said. “Now I am setting new goals. I just re-enlisted, I want to make first class petty officer and I want to begin taking classes toward a college degree.”

Helping another in the way she herself had been helped, Smith, along with Yeoman 3rd Class (AW/SW) Kristen Grund, prepared Garza for the

transition.“I didn’t know much of the information, but they showed me

what I had to study and answered my questions,” said Garza. “I couldn’t believe it when I passed the exam; I had to pinch myself. I really like the rate that I’m in now, and I’m very thankful to Grund and Smith for their help.”

Things were different though for Seaman Jonas Restad, who is also awaiting his 3rd Class crows.

Restad enlisted and was in training for one of the Navy’s special programs. However, after several weeks in the program, he decided the program was not for him and requested to become an undesignated Sailor instead.

“Going undesignated was a personal decision,” Restad said. “It was a difficult one, but the program was not for me. I decided to go undesignated in the hopes of striking for a rate that I would like.”

Restad arrived aboard Carl Vinson in July 2012 and was also assigned to deck department. After months of working there, he took the operations specialist rating exam in March of this year and, as of last week, not long after hearing he’d been selected for OS3, began working in operations department.

Like Garza though, Restad’s adjustment was bumpy. Adjusting to shipboard culture, meeting new people, and settling into life aboard ship were stressful. He found difficulty in juggling departmental and shipboard duties with the pursuit of his own goals.

“The transition has been complicated, but I’ve stayed focused,” Restad said. “Now I’m looking forward to learning as much about my rate as possible and continuing to make rank. I also want to begin taking college courses.”

Undesignated seamanship is a challenge for most Sailors who experience it. Juggling multiple responsibilities at once can seem overwhelming for anyone, but especially for those who have not yet had time to establish a strong support system. The process usually forces undesignated Sailors to reach deep and commit, and the experience gained becomes a valuable asset in their naval career.

“I think that going undesignated has made me appreciate my current rate much more,” said Garza. “I have learned that with hard work and dedication everything is within your grasp.”

Garza recommends undesignated Sailors set specific goals, such as getting their qualifications. He suggests that they prioritize, network with other Sailors, and stay focused on the goals they have set for themselves.

“Sailors that are undesignated need to prepare well while they are waiting to strike for rate,” said Garza. “The key is not to get comfortable; if you are comfortable, then you’re wrong.”
