It’s been a long time sincepeople have heard someonesay, “Life is like a box ofchocolates”, but on SundayDec. 17, that and other popu-lar quotes from the movie‘Forrest Gump’ were beingthrown around GTMO like‘Run, Forrest Run.’

“Lieutenant Dan, what areyou doing here?” was asked byactor Tom Hanks to actor GarySinise, in the extremely popu-lar 1994 film Forrest Gump, arole for which Gary Siniseearned an Oscar nomination forbest Supporting Actor. “Lieu-tenant Dan” (Gary Sinise),which he’s probably bestknown for and his band ofmusicians calling themselvesthe Lt. Dan Band, played apacked Downtown Lyceumconcert on Sunday, Dec. 17.

The band played cover tunesfrom a variety of artists, suchas ‘The Who’; Jimi Hendrix;

Maria Carey; The Police andeven Aretha Franklin.

“This is probably the bestconcert I’ve seen in GTMO,”said AT1(SW/AW) MatthewMurcin. I’ve been here for twoyears and this was awesome.The sound quality was excel-lent and he (Gary Sinise) reallycan play the bass well. It wasgreat.”

The music list was as di-verse as the band themselves.The band consisted of GarySinise, Bass; Kimo Williams,Guitar/Vocals; Gina Gonzalez,Vocals; Mari Anne Jayme, Vo-cals; Jeff Vezain, Vocals; KirkGarrison, Trumpet; DannyGottlieb, Drums; Beth Gottlieb,Percussions, Ernie Denov,

Guitar; Ben Lewis, Keys andCarol Williams, Sax/Flute.

Special message from theSECNAV, Donald C. Winter

"More service members needto take advantage of the ThriftSavings Plan (TSP), because itis an attractive investment op-tion with unique benefits formilitary members, the militaryofficer in charge of the ArmedForces Tax Council," said ArmyMaj. John Johnson, director ofthe Armed Forces Tax Council.

TSP, a retirement savingsplan for service members andcivilian federal employees, rightnow draws participation fromabout half of the military.

TSP is a tax-deferred fund,which means the money con-tributed to the account is de-ducted right away from theperson’s taxable income, and themoney in the fund isn’t taxeduntil it is withdrawn at retire-ment.

As of this year, military mem-bers are unlimited in the amountthey can contribute to TSP,Johnson said. Now the onlylimit is the Internal RevenueService’s $15,000 per-year limiton contributions to tax-deferredaccounts, he said.

TSP is not like a savings ac-count, Johnson emphasized,and the money contributed to itshould be money that peoplearen’t going to need soon. How-ever, TSP does have a loan pro-gram for situations such as afirst home purchase, where par-ticipants can borrow moneyfrom their own account andthen pay it back at a market in-terest rate. TSP is a great ben-efit that is overlooked by a lotof military members, Johnsonsaid.

Service members can signup for TSP online atwww.tsp.gov, Johnson said. ThisWeb site offers all the toolstroops need to get started in theprogram and manage their ac-counts.

Federal court rules against GTMO detaineeBy Sgt. Sara Wood, USA, American Forces Press Service

A federal court ruled recently thatdetainees at GTMO, do not havethe right to challenge their deten-tion in U.S. courts.

Judge James Robertson issueda decision and order in the U.S. Dis-trict Court for the District of Co-lumbia dismissing the habeas cor-pus case of Salim Ahmed Hamdan,a former driver for Osama binLaden.

Robertson concluded that the

Military Commissions Act unam-biguously withdraws the right ofhabeas corpus, which allowspeople who are imprisoned to gobefore a judge and challenge theirdetention from detainees and thatthis withdrawal is constitutional.

"The Suspension Clause doesnot guarantee the right to petitionfor habeas corpus to non-residentenemy aliens captured and detainedoutside the U.S.," wrote Robertson.

In other words, Congress may con-stitutionally deprive these detaineesof the writ of habeas corpus.

DOD officials said they werepleased with Robertson’s ruling, asit removes federal court jurisdic-tion over Hamdan’s case and simi-lar cases.

"We hope to bring individuals be-fore commissions by next sum-mer," said Bryan Whitman, DoDspokesman. There are still facilitiesthat need to be built in order forcommissions to proceed, andwe’re working on that.”

Robertson granted Hamdan’sfirst habeas petition in Nov. '04, andthe case made it to the SupremeCourt. The Supreme Court ruledin June that President Bush hadoverstepped his authority in creat-ing the military commissions. InSept., Congress passed the MilitaryCommissions Act, authorizing mili-tary commissions and clarifying therights of detainees, specifically onthe issue of access to courts.

Donald Winter,Secretary of the Navy

The Fire Department’s soc-cer team’s quest to end theNavy Exchange’s long domi-nance in GTMO’s soccer com-petitions was put out by NEXwho won this year’s MWR-sponsored Captain’s Cup finals3-0, at Cooper Field, Dec. 15.

As expected, the game wasan evenly contested affair asboth teams put up magnificentdisplay of pure soccer dexter-ity, leaving no doubts in theminds of their opponents theirintentions to win the champion-ship and bragging rights as soc-cer kings of GTMO.

Fans, who turned out in largenumbers, packed the bleachersdoing everything they could tocheer for their respective teams.

Prior to the game, NEXcoach, Rayon Edwards, de-manded victory from his team. “If we play like we have beendoing for the past three years,this should be another easy vic-tory,” Edwards said.

Fire Department, entered thefinals without their premierstriker, Damien Carney, whowas unable to play.

That notwithstanding, FireDepartment’s coach, DeanroyTulloch, challenged his team togo all out for the victory.

But NEX wasted little time inimposing their dominance asthey piled pressure on the FireDepartment’s defense from thefirst blast of the whistle. It

wasn’t long before they brokethe deadlock through CraigCampbell’s 16th minute strike. Campbell collected MertonGray’s pass inside the 18-yardbox before he struck a sensa-tional shot to put NEX up 1-0.

NEX' second goal came fiveminutes later when Marlon,fired a tame shot, which thegoalie failed to hold on to.Marlon then pounced on therebound giving NEX a 2-0 lead.

The half should have ended3 – 0 in favor of the NEX, butCampbell’s goal was judgedoffside.

The second half began withNEX picking up where they leftoff, forcing the Fire Depart-ment to chase the ball around.

The third goal was as goodas anyone would have seen inany European club champion-ship. Merton Gray, surroundedby three defenders, was able todribble his way through thecrowd before placing a well-timed pass to Campbell insidethe 18 yard box. Campbell'sshot gave the goalie no chanceof saving it, proving why he isGTMO's all-time scorer withmore than 200 goals in the lastfour years.

Omar Nelson got the bestchance for the Fire Departmentwhen NEX sweeper, CourtneyDixon, took one touch too manyand was robbed of the ball byOmar, however, his shot waswell saved by NEX’s goalie.

In the final 10 minutes of thegame, NEX proceeded to playsome Brazilian-style soccer asthey ran circles around the FireDepartment. Merton Gray,made his trademark dribble onthe left flank, leaving FireDepartment’s defender, Frazerin the dust before firing a shotthat narrowly missed the goalpost.

At the end of the game NEXwhere crowned champions. Atleast, they get to keep the brag-ging rights for another year.
