promises of tomorrow
As I write this in mid-
June, I realize that the last
several weeks have been
rough on everyone. The
sense of loss in several
communities has been
horrible. We have had
death and grief invade
our lives. It is an invasion
that we resist, but we are
powerless to resist. It is
an intrusion we resent, but
have no option or say over
the matter. Life, or more
to the point, death simply
happens. It affected all
us in Fallon as well as the
town of Lovelock. Both
CDR Hook and AW2 Ward
were members not just
of the Naval Service, but
were deeply involved in
their communities. Their
presence reminds us that
when a person is absent,
there is an awfully big hole
to fill. The hole is the ache
in our hearts and spirits.
It has seemed that
the weather the last few
weeks have matched our
spirits. I usually expect by
this point of the year to be
facing temperatures in the
high 80’s and clear skies.
The fact that we had been
having rain for the first
two weeks, seemed to
be mirroring our moods.
The storm clouds of life
and the storm clouds of
reality intersected. And
yet, during a trip back
from Reno last week, I
saw visual reminders of
God’s promises, promises
of a better tomorrow,
of brighter days ahead,
of times where we may
reminisce and then laugh.
The first I saw the storm
clouds breaking up over
the mountains. Through
the clouds burst silvery
shafts of brilliant light
dancing over the hills.
From the cold rain came
the warm rays of the
sun flashing forth onto
the land. The sunrays
reminded me that God is
always able to break into
the storms of our lives
Like the shafts of light,
God will not be blocked,
but bursts forth for the
healing and assistance we
crave.
The second came a
short while later as I
came near Fallon. I saw
a rainbow stretching
from end towards the
other. With rain so rare
in Nevada, the sighting of
a rainbow must be even
more so. The conditions
must be just right. But of purples, greens, reds, powerful than others.
the rainbow is the ancient greens, and blues, God But like the ebb and flow
promise of God that He assures that the tragedy of the sea, the sorrows
holds life high. It is the of what came before will can be washed away and
promise that there are be surpassed by the joy replaced by something
better days ahead, that to come. These are the new, something deeper,
after the rain, comes the promises of tomorrow. something true. With
sunshine, the reflection To be sure, it is far God’s help, with our
of which is necessary for easier to write this, than community of friends, with
the rainbow to take place. feel it at times. Sorrow the promises of tomorrow,
In brilliant hues spanning can come on us like waves we can move onto brighter

whine or dine…
When I first moved to Fernley a couple of years
ago, there weren’t many restaurants to choose
from. Recently, a few more have opened up to an
enthusiastic and thankful community. Sushi Moto,
the city’s first Japanese restaurant, was a welcomed
change from the traditional fast food fare. With
locations in both Reno and Fernley, Sushi Moto
offers an eclectic variety of sushi dishes available
in an all you can eat option. They offer both cooked
and traditional varieties. For those of you that don’t
particularly care for sushi, their menu also features
a few items for those less adventurous including a
variety of noodles and the traditional teriyaki beef
and chicken dishes. I happen to be a big fan of their
teriyaki chicken dinner. My husband enjoyed the sushi
buffet but commented that he wished it would offer
a more taster-friendly option. As it stands now, you
order one sushi dish at a time and are usually quite
full a few dishes into the meal.
My family enjoyed our dinner at Sushi Moto. If I
were to give you a heads up about anything it would be
the price. I didn’t expect for it to be as expensive as
it was. The all you can eat dinner buffet is $19.95 per
person (14.95 for lunch). They offer a children’s menu
and the all you can eat option for children is $12.95.
The rest of the menu is pretty comparable in price.
For those that love sushi, this is definitely a place to
try. For those looking to save some money, their lunch
menu is just as diverse yet a lot less expensive. The
Fernley location is open Monday through Saturday
11:30 am – 9:30 pm and Sunday from 5:00 pm to 9:30
pm. You can reach them at (775) 575-6672.

san antonio: something for everyone
When I was a little girl, I
use to sleep with my most
treasured possessions
under my bed. As an only
child, sharing wasn’t a
consideration so I figured
that keeping them close
assured that they belonged
to me and only me. As a
travel writer, I’ve always loved
sharing details about all
the wonderful destinations
I get to visit throughout the
United States, but this story
is different. Although I can’t
wait to tell you about this
treasure of a destination, the
little girl in me still wishes I
could hide it under my bed so
that it would be mine and just
mine. My dear readers, my
favorite of all the destinations
I’ve ever visited is San
Antonio, Texas.
A family city at its very core,
San Antonio is a large city
with a small town personality.
People are friendly and the
city is easy to navigate. Yet,
it has all the benefits of a big
city - you would be hard-
pressed to find better food
anywhere else and they have
every kind of entertainment
you can imagine under one
city roof. If you are traveling
with your family and are
looking for an amusement
park adventure, Six Flags
Fiesta Texas and Sea World
both call San Antonio home.
If you are looking to discover
a piece of American history,
discover personalities like
Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett
and Jim Bowie at the
Alamo. If you want to enjoy
a romantic weekend with
a loved one, you can’t miss
the San Antonio Riverwalk.
Consisting of a series of
walkways along the San
Antonio River located one
story below street level, this
beautiful grotto is lined with
shops, restaurants, pubs and
beautiful gardens, and is the
#1 tourist attraction in the
State of Texas.
During my recent trip to
San Antonio, I stayed at the
Hotel Contessa, which is
a beautiful, all-suite hotel
located along the Riverwalk.
Their rooms are spacious and
elegant, with fantastic vistas
of the city. From my room
I could see all of downtown
laid out in front of me, and
could watch the colorful
Riverwalk tour boats pass
under my window. Best of
all for you and me, they offer
great military discounts,
including a per diem package
that includes lodging and
meals at the government
per diem rate. With a great
restaurant, Las Ramblas,
located on site that caters to
couples and children alike,
and their perfect location
on the river, they are a
great hotel for families or a
romantic weekend getaway.
While in San Antonio, you
must visit Market Square.

the hangover
Rated: R for pervasive language, sexual content including nudity, and some drug material.

Angelenos Doug Billings and Tracy Garner are about to get married. Two days before the wedding, the four men in the wedding party
- Doug, Doug’s two best buddies Phil Wenneck and Stu Price, and Tracy’s brother Alan Garner - hop into Tracy’s father’s beloved Mercedes
convertible for a 24-hour stag party to Las Vegas. Phil, a married high school teacher, has the same maturity level as his students when he’s
with his pals. Stu, a dentist, is worried about everything, especially what his controlling girlfriend Melissa thinks. Because she disapproves of
traditional male bonding rituals, Phil has to lie to her about the stag, he telling her that they are going on a wine tasting tour in the Napa Valley.
Regardless, he intends on eventually marrying her, against the advice and wishes of his friends. And Alan seems to be unaware of what are
considered the social graces of the western world. The morning after their arrival in Las Vegas, they awaken in their hotel suite each with the
worst hangover. None remembers what happened in the past twelve or so hours. The suite is in shambles. And certain things are in the suite
that shouldn’t be, and certain things that should be in the suite are missing. Probably the most important in the latter category is Doug. As
Phil, Stu and Alan try to find Doug using only what little pieces of information they have at hand, they go on a journey of discovery of how certain
things got into the suite and what happened to the missing items. However they are on a race for time as if they can’t find Doug in the next few
hours, they are going to have to explain to Tracy why they are not yet back in Los Angeles. And even worse, they may not find Doug at all before
the wedding.

the dangers of fireworks
It would be hard
to imagine July 4th
festivities in the United
States without public
displays of fireworks,
and a number of other
holidays, such as new
Years, often call for
big shows as well.
But celebrations can
become tragic when
someone is injured by
consumer fireworks.
Despite federal and state
regulations on the type
of fireworks available
for sale to the general
public, even those
fireworks that are sold
legally carry an elevated
risk of personal injury.
Fire works are
considered hazardous
materials with the
potential to cause
serious injury. All
fireworks are regulated
by the Federal
Hazardous Substance
Act, which prohibits sale
of the more dangerous
types to the public to
avoid injury and property
damage. Among these
banned products are
large, reloadable mortar
shells, cherry bombs
STAR SERVICE GRADUATES
Graduates of the Star Service Class held on 20-21 May 09 were Tracy Siebecker,
Shiela Melendez, Brian Yates, Tina Martin, Marlyn Hardesty, Tonya Banks, Arlene Malan,
Loyd Newman and Evard Hockemier
and large firecrackers
with more than 2 grains
of powder. Likewise,
all mail order kits to
construct fireworks are
strictly prohibited.
Although these
regulations and
standards have helped
make consumer
fireworks safer, all
fireworks are potentially
hazardous. For
example, sparklers,
which are legal in the
majority of states,
burn at temperatures
of approximately
2,000 degree F. Their
colorful sparks belie
the potential danger,
and yet sparklers are
predominately used by
young children. Of the
estimated 700 fireworks
injuries to children
under 5 years of age, 400
(57%) were caused by
sparklers.
In 2003, firework
devices caused
approximately 9,300
injuries, an increase
from injuries in
2002. There were six
deaths from consumer
fireworks reported

nsawc dedicates ault auditorium
Story and Photo by
Chief Mass Communication
Specialist Christopher
Shimana, Naval Strike and Air
Warfare Center Public Affairs.
The Naval Strike and Air
Warfare Center (NSAWC)
officially dedicated the
Ault auditorium during a
ceremony held in the Fleet
Training building on board
Naval Air Station Fallon,
June 12 to honor the man
responsible for the U.S.
Navy Strike Fighter Tactics
Instructor (SFTI) program,
commonly known as
TOPGUN. The dedication
was attended by more
than 100 guests including
members of the Ault family
and two of TOPGUN’s
founding instructors.
The 1,677 square-foot
Ault auditorium bears
the name of Capt. Frank
“Whip” Ault” in honor of his
significant contributions in
improving military air-to-
air combat performance
during the early years
of the Vietnam War. In
1967, the Chief of Naval
Operations selected Ault
to conduct an air weapons
study. Ault’s experience
as an aircraft carrier
commanding officer on
board USS Coral Sea
(CVA-43), naval aviator and
weapons specialist led the
“Ault report” in 1968.
The Ault report was a
sweeping review of fighter
system performance
covering logistics, training
and operations and is
credited with raising the
air combat kill ratio from
2.1 to more than 12.1. As a
result, the Navy established
a graduate level school
designed to train fleet
fighter pilots in combat
tactics and commissioned
TOP GUN as a command in
1972.
“The Ault report took the
whole training continuum,
the hardware, the training
piece and what we needed
to do to get better and be
successful in combat” said
Rear Adm. Emerson “that
report is alive and well
and is required reading for
TOPGUN instructors, his
memory will never go away
because of that.”
“The Ault auditorium
will be used for tactical
instruction at TOPGUN,
Carrier Airborne Early
Warning Weapons and the
Seahawk Weapons and
Tactics Instructor Weapons
schools at NSWAC.
Each school teaches the
instructors that teach the
fleet tactics.” said TOPGUN
Commander Cmdr. Dan
“Undra” Cheever. “The
legacy of Capt. Ault is
captured by naming a
tactical training auditorium
after him.”
In addition to supporting
tactical instruction, the Ault
auditorium serves as venue
supporting communication.
“It will introduce civilians
and military alike to
TOPGUN and what goes
on at NSAWC.” said
Cheever. “Every year we
conduct a re-blue which
is a conference of tactical
aviators where the truth of
the weapons systems and
tactics is discussed. There
is no more fitting place
to have Capt. Ault’s name
than a place where tactical
excellence and the truth
prevail. “
Cmdr. Jon “Litnin” Ault
(retired) was accompanied
to the dedication by his
brothers Jan, Jerry and his
granddaughter Caroline.
“My dad was involved
in many pioneering and
groundbreaking aspects
of the United States
Navy” said Jon “He was a

active duty access to mtf
Confusion often surrounds
the eligibility for medical care
of our Active Duty Service
Members (ADSM) in their
various states of activation.
This document attempts to
provide some clarify on this
issue as well as how claims
are funded for the ADSM.
Payment for the claims for
our ADSM’s come from the
Supplemental Health Care
Funds. They do not come
from the MTF operational
funds as they did with the old
CHAMPUS benefit.
COMPONENT CATEGORIES
Reserve Component (RC)
members range from:
1) Reserve Component on
training orders (less
than 30 days HCDP 000-
Not eligible in DEERS)
2) Direct Care (HCDP 001
in DEERS and CHCS)
during both early
eligibility and
throughout their
deployment
3) RC not on Orders but
have a Line of Duty
(LOD) injury/illness
4) Active Duty or RC on
Active Duty who are
enrolled in another
region, to another MTF
or enrolled to TRICARE
Prime Remote.
All of these service
members fall under Title 32
Code of Federal Regulations
which provides specific
priority level access into any
MTF in the world. Any active
duty service member or
Reserve component member
on active duty or presenting
with valid LOD paperwork to
our MTF in need of medical
support are to be allowed
full AD priority access to
that MTF regardless of
enrollment status.
EARLY ELIGIBILITY
If our Reserve members
are called to a contingency
operation for more than
30 days, their Service can
opt to give them the Early
Eligibility (EE) Benefit. This
is active duty coverage up
to 90 days prior to their
actual mobilization date.
Per HA Policy 07-002 and
OSD RA Memo on EID (Early
Identification for Deployment
now commonly referred
to as Early Eligibility),
these members may or
may not have actual hard
copy delayed effective date
orders. There is no need for
the member to present any
orders to the MTF because
their status in DEERS
reflects them as Direct Care
for the Active Duty Service
member (HCDP 001). These
members should not enroll
at any MTF during the EE
segment. Additionally, per
policy, those members who
go from EE to a unit without
medical assets during
mobilization will also remain
on Direct Care (un-enrolled)
during the entire early
eligibility and active duty
segment. On a side note, the
family members may enroll
in Prime or Prime Remote
during the EE segment.
LINE OF DUTY
Only Reserve component
members are eligible for
Line of Duty care. The RC
who presents with a valid
LOD is authorized healthcare
relating to that LOD (HCDP
will show 000- Not Eligible
for care). Each service has
specific LOD paperwork and
most do not have specific
expiration dates. (Note, if a
reserve member retires- the
LOD is no longer valid. In
CHCS, these members are
coded as “Q’s”- Grey area
retirees and in DEERS under
the Additional Reporting Data
as Reserve Retired not yet
eligible for retiree pay –Grey
area retiree).
