It is au-thorized to be worn for office work, watchstanding, libertyor business ashore when prescribed as the uniform of theday.

The new uniform is the result of significant research andinput from the fleet.

”Over 500 Sailors participated in a six-month wear-test,evaluating four diverse uniform concepts, designs and col-ors,” said Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson.Overwhelmingly, the approved SU design was selected abovethe other three.

Sailors will have up to 24 months to purchase the newuniform, depending on their duty station location. The man-datory wear date for all E1-E6 personnel is July 2010. Cloth-ing replacement allowances for fiscal years 2008 and 2009were increased to cover the purchasing of two sets of newuniforms by July 2010.

Basic SU components include a short-sleeved khaki shirtfor males and a short sleeved khaki overblouse for females;black trousers with black belt and silver buckle for males andblack beltless slacks for females.

Collar insignia consists of miniature silver anodized metalrank insignia for E2-E6. Petty officers will wear large silveranodized metal rank insignia on their garrison cap. Males mustwear a white undershirt.

Optional components include a black, Eisenhower-stylejacket with epaulets, black pullover v-neck sweater and blackskirt, beret and handbag for females.

The SU will be available for purchase via Navy Exchangeuniform centers as follows:

July 08, Great Lakes and CaliforniaOct 08, Northwest and HawaiiJan 09, Gulf region and Millington, Tenn.

April 09, Naval District WashingtonJuly 09, Tidewater Oct 09, Southeast Jan 10, NortheastApril 10, Europe/Japan/Guam.

Existing E1-E6 summer white and winter blue uniformswill continue to be authorized for wear until the July 2010mandatory wear date.

Reserve component Sailors will receive their uniforms viatheir respective Navy Operational Support Centers.

For more information on uniforms and uniforms policy,visit the uniform matters Web site at www.npc.navy.mil/commandsupport/usnavyuniforms/.

in port, the PTU shirt must betucked into the shorts; duringindividual PT, or on liberty,shirts may be worn in or outof shorts. At sea, the wearingof the PTU will be at the dis-cretion of the commanding of-ficer.

The PTU cannot be wornwhile in a duty status or whenconducting official business onbase such as visiting medicaltreatment facilities, galleys orPersonnel Support Detach-ments.

Ferguson said the UniformMatters Office has receivedmany useful comments aboutthe PTU design and quality, andthat the shirt and shorts will beconstantly improved over thenext few years.

Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion(NMCB) 74 completesits GTMO deploymentand depart the island Au-gust 2008. The battalionhas been on island sinceFeb. 4, 2008. NMCB 4,out of Port Hueneme,Calif., will relieve them.

While in GTMO, 74completed three projectsincluding the LeewardFire Engine building,MWR pad project at theYatera Seca Golf Courseand construction of JTFHabeas rooms.

They were instrumen-tal in obtaining materialsthat will have a positive,lasting effect on con-struction projects on theisland.

"In a few months,most of the constructionmaterials in GTMO willbe replaced with newitems," said NMCB 74detachment GTMO Of-ficer in Charge Lt. JasonChristensen, "NMCB 74was integral in makingthis happen."

Christensen ex-plained that a focus ofthe battalion prior tocoming to GTMO wasto develop positive last-ing relationships withthe people on the islandnot only to properly rep-resent NMCB 74, butthe Naval Mobile Con-struction Batallion as awhole.

"GTMO is a greatplace. We've learned a

lot and have had a lot offun here on this deploy-ment," said Christensen.We are working to stayfocused now in theselast few weeks beforewe leave and wrappingup loose ends onprojects to ensure we setup NMCB 4 for suc-cess."

NMCB 74 will headback to their homeportof Gulfport, Miss. for12 months after whichthey will deploy to Iraq.

"The next steps forus are to head back tohomeport and fromthere, go through reor-ganization whereSeabees are placed intoeither Headquarters, Al-pha or Bravo company,"

said Christensen."Homeport is all abouttraining and preparingfor our next deploy-ment. Hopefully ourguys will take all of whatthey learned here inGTMO and apply it to

life in Iraq."Chief Steelworker

(SCW) Donald Farwell,NMCB 74 Assistant Of-ficer in Charge, notedthe growth of theSeabees during theirtime in GTMO.

"Just watching thegrowth of the Seabeeswith all different disci-plines come togetherand learn so much onthis deployment was ex-citing to see," saidFarwell.

Farwell, who de-ployed seven times inhis career, credits thisexact growth with aid-ing the batallion in over-coming many obstaclesof the deployment.

"To be able to over-come some of the logis-tical issues that arisebeing stationed here andstill successfully com-pleting projects speaksvolumes to their [thebattalion's] ability toadapt and overcome,"said Farwell.

ing, target identification, reaction shooting …it increases the combat readinessof command,” said Gunners Mate 1st Class Gary Jones, NAVSTA Weapons depart-ment leading petty officer.

The project took approximately five months to complete and was done by BREMCOR.Seabees built a shed for the range’s air compressor, which controls many of the newfeatures. The range will begin scheduling dates once range standard operating proce-dures are finalized.

“This new range is geared toward the more seasoned shooter for familiarizationversus qualification,” said Jones. “[Servicemembers] can refresh their skills on every-thing from the 9 mm to the 40 cal pistol.”

Jones explained how barricades and windows can be placed behind the firing line toaid in developing a shooter’s technique in various environments and situations.

“When developing the course of fire for this range, we looked into implementing aplan that allows the shooter to put more rounds down range faster and more effectively,”said Jones. “We want to reduce holster to target time.”

Jones added that the Security Force members, who only shoot [at the range] once ayear can develop their shooting skills by using the range.

Other ranges located on Windward Range include the Windward Rifle Range and theWindward Pistol Range.

To schedule time on any of the ranges, contact NAVSTA Weapons Department at4587.

WASHINGTON (NNS) —Readers of Diversity/Careersin Engineering and InformationTechnology magazine helpedthe U.S. Navy earn honors asa Best Diversity Company for2008.

The Navy was one of ninegovernment agencies in agroup of 100 honorees se-lected from a field of morethan 600 companies, govern-ment agencies and other orga-nizations that employ techni-cal professionals. Thesegroups were selected by read-ers of Diversity/Careers andvisitors to its Web site:www.diversitycareers.com.

”I am committed to ensur-ing that we, as a Navy, aregoing to be one of the bestplaces for a young person tostart their career. We must allthink and work as an organi-zation to attract, recruit andretain our Nation’s best andbrightest now and in the fu-ture,” said Chief of Naval Op-erations (CNO), Adm. GaryRoughead.

Readers listed the Navy asone of the best companies dueto its support of minorities andwomen, attention to life-workbalance and commitment tosupplier diversity.

This recognition comes onthe heels of the Navy’s receiptof the prestigious Work LifeLegacy Award from the Fami-lies and Work Institute. In aceremony in New York CityJune 9, the accomplishmentsof the Navy’s Task Force Life

Work were lauded. The Navyjoins an elite list of honoreessuch as Ernst & Young,Deloitte & Touche and Xerox,companies considered the bestat addressing the social, per-sonal and professional needsof employees.

"The United States Navy isan organization like no otherin the world. We have oppor-tunities, and we give opportu-nities to young people in waysthat no company, no other or-ganization will,” saidRoughead. “We operate thehighest levels of technology.We give our young peoplemore authority, more oppor-tunities for them to exercisetheir leadership and their ini-tiative, than any other organi-zation that I have ever seen.”

The CNO expressed his de-sire to be considered on par

with the top 50 companies towork for in the country, and itseems the Navy is doing justthat.

When compared toFortune’s 2008 list of the 100Best Companies to Work For,the Navy’s quality of life andcompensation offerings werefound to be extremely competi-tive.

”We are all about opportu-nity. We are at the heart a learn-ing organization, built upontraining and development, thebest that money can buy, inboth our enlisted and our of-ficers,” said Vice Adm. JohnHarvey, director of Navy staff.

”What we have to do ismake people aware of theseopportunities, the opportunityto serve, but also the opportu-nity to grow, and we bring that

MAYPORT, Fla. (NNS) —Chief of Naval OperationsAdm. Gary Roughead officiallyre-established U.S. 4th Fleetand named Rear Adm. JosephD. Kernan as its commanderduring a ceremony at NavalStation Mayport July 12.

The ceremony followed theU.S. Naval Forces SouthernCommand (NAVSO) changeof command, during whichKernan relieved Rear Adm.James W. Stevenson Jr.

Kernan, the dual-hattedNAVSO and 4th Fleet com-mander, is responsible for U.S.Navy ships, aircraft and sub-marines assigned from eastand west coast fleets to oper-ate in the U.S. Southern Com-mand (SOUTHCOM) area offocus, which encompasses theCaribbean, Central and SouthAmerica and surrounding wa-ters.

”Re-establishing the FourthFleet affirms our support for,and our desire to, enhance co-operative relationships with thenavies and maritime servicesin the Caribbean and Centraland South America. It recog-nizes the immense importanceof maritime security in the re-gion,” said Roughead.

”Our maritime strategyraises the importance of form-ing global maritime partner-ships by working with inter-national partners as the basisfor global maritime security.Re-establishing Fourth Fleetallows us to more effectivelyemploy naval forces to buildconfidence and trust amongnations through collective

maritime security efforts thatfocus on mutual interests.”

Fourth Fleet was first estab-lished in 1943 as one of theoriginal numbered fleets. Dur-ing World War II, the UnitedStates needed a command incharge of protecting againstraiders, blockade runners andenemy submarines in the SouthAtlantic. Fourth Fleet fulfilledthat mission until it wasdisestablished in 1950, andU.S. 2nd Fleet took over itsresponsibilities.

The new 4th Fleet will beheadquartered in Mayport andco-located with NAVSO, tak-ing advantage of the existinginfrastructure, communica-tions support and personnelalready in place. Fourth Fleet’sre-establishment will not in-volve an increase in forces as-signed in Mayport, or result inany permanently assigned shipsor aircraft.

With a focus on strengthen-ing friendships and partner-ships, 4th Fleet will directlysupport the U.S. MaritimeStrategy by conducting fiveongoing missions: support forpeacekeeping, humanitarianassistance, disaster relief, tra-ditional maritime exercises andcounterdrug support opera-tions.

”It is an honor to assumecommand of U.S. NavalForces Southern Commandand to be granted the privilegeof reestablishing U.S. 4thFleet,” Kernan said. “I lookforward to continuing the greatwork Rear Adm. Stevensonhas accomplished in demon-

strating the United States’ com-mitment to our regional part-ners in this immensely impor-tant part of the world.”

The re-establishment andchange of command ceremonyconcluded with Stevenson’sretirement after 32 years ofnaval service.

During Stevenson’s tour asNAVSO commander, U.S.Navy’s operational focus in theregion was greatly increasedresulting in enhanced partnernation cooperation and im-proved collective capabilities.Recent missions championedunder Stevenson, such asUSNS Comfort’s (T-AH 20)2007 humanitarian medical as-sistance deployment and thefirst Global Fleet Station de-ployment in 2007 with HSVSwift highlight this increasedfocus.

In 2008, Stevenson oversawplanning and execution of thethird-annual Partnership of theAmericas deployment, whichincluded the George Washing-ton Carrier Strike Group; aswell as Continuing Promisehumanitarian civil assistancedeployments aboard USSBoxer (LHD 4) and USS

Kearsarge (LHD 3). Currently,Military Sealift Command res-cue and salvage ship USNSGrasp (T-ARS-51) is conduct-ing Navy Diver – Global FleetStation with Caribbean Islandpartner nations.

As the Navy componentcommand of SOUTHCOM,NAVSO’s mission is to directU.S. Naval forces operating inthe Caribbean, Central andSouth American regions andinteract with partner nationnavies within the maritime en-vironment. Various operationsinclude counter-illicit traffick-ing, theater security coopera-tion, military-to-military inter-action and bilateral and multi-national training.

Fourth Fleet is the num-bered fleet assigned to NAVSO,exercising operational controlof assigned forces. FourthFleet conducts the full spec-trum of Maritime SecurityOperations in support of U.S.objectives and security coop-eration activities that promotecoalition building and deter ag-gression.

Creature Feature:TarantulasCreature Feature:TarantulasCreature Feature:TarantulasCreature Feature:TarantulasCreature Feature:Tarantulas

Tarantulas are a group of about820 species of spider belongingto the family Theraphosidae.

They occur on every continent exceptAntarctica and are generally located withinthe area between forty degrees north andsouth of the equator. Tarantulas are thelargest of the spiders.

There are at least five species found inCuba , they belong to the genusPhormictopus.

These are generally large spiders withadults having legspans from six and a halfto eight inches.

There is a lot of color variation amongthese different species and even withinindividuals of the same species.

The colors range from blackish-brown to rust- brown to a dull goldenwith hairs ranging from dark gray togolden. Sometimes a reddish or purplishcolor can be seen. It can be difficult forthe untrained eye to identify tarantulas tothe species level; so suffice it to say, ifyou see a large hairy spider at GTMO,it’s a tarantula.

Tarantulas live in dens or burrows theydig themselves. They also use naturalcavities or nooks and crannies found inpiles of debris, underneath rocks, or bur-rows made by other animals.

They will sometimes line the den withsilk and may place silk near the entranceto detect passing prey.

Tarantulas are predators and are ac-tive at night. They usually remain in theirden waiting to ambush prey but will comeout and actively hunt also.

Like other spiders, tarantulas havefangs which they use to inject venom intotheir prey.

Spider venom is a pre-digestive en-zyme that basically liquefies everythingin the victim’s internal body cavity andthe spider then drinks its meal. Typicalprey items are insects, other spiders, cen-

tipedes, caterpillars, and even smaller rep-tiles and amphibians.

One interesting Cuban species picturedabove, known locally as the golden-grayCaribbean birdeater, reportedly preys onbirds.

Tarantulas also fall prey to birds, largerreptiles, and amphibians. They have aninteresting defense mechanism using spe-cialized hairs on their abdomen called ur-ticating hairs.

When threatened or disturbed, they riseup on their rear legs and spread their frontlegs as if to threaten the attacker.

If the disturbance persists, they willfling the urticating hairs at the attacker.

The urticating hairs irritate the eyes andskin giving the tarantula a chance to es-cape.

Tarantula hobbyists consider some ofthe Cuban species as aggressive to very

aggressive. If you encounter a tarantula,it is best not to disturb it because thiscan result in being bitten.

Most tarantula bites are considered noworse than bee stings, but as with beestings and scorpion stings, differentpeople react differently and any adverseor allergic reactions need immediate medi-cal attention.

If you encounter a tarantula in yourhome, it can be safely coaxed into a boxusing heavy gloves or a broom and thentaken outdoors.
