Lt. Cmdr. Lassek is an outstanding leader and I expect that he will continue to challenge them, said Smith. They will continue to do as well and better. Capt. Michael D.

Newcomer talks with Sailors in a Navy Instructor Training Course (NITC) during a visit to a classroom at the Groton Detachment of Naval Submarine School, Sept. 19. NITC is administered by CPPD. Sailors assigned to instructor duty must complete this three-week course, which trains Navy, Marine aCorps and Defense Department personnel, as well as allied foreign nationals, in the application of principles of learning; instructional methods, strategies and techniques; and effective communication, oral questioning, and presentation techniques appropriate to Navy learning environments. The conversation between and among the students and Newcomer encompassed topics such as the impact of sequestration on training, further deployment and employment of virtual training, Team Dimensional Training (TDT), and further implementation and expanded use of the Learning Management Sites throughout the Fleet. Newcomer, together with Command Master Chief (SW/AW) David R.

Chief of Naval Personnel seeks nominations for 2013 CSADD Chapter of the Year Awards
ways to help our young Sailors make right decisions, and their efforts are paying off, said Rear Admiral Sean Buck, director of the 21st Century Sailor Office (N17). The chapter of the year awards recognize chapters that have gone above and beyond in fostering a climate of responsible decision making in our Navy, giving our Sailors tools needed to face the challenges of the twenty-first century while preserving the skills and talents they bring to the fight. According to the NAVADMIN, the CSADD Chapter of the Year awards were established to recognize the positive social interaction, leadership and decision making demonstrated through CSADD efforts, which employ a variety of communication tools and social networking established and sustained by the chapters. Since the awards were established in 2010, one sea-based chapter and one shore-based chapter were recognized as chapters of the year. For 2013, the categories are expanded to include two sea-based chapters, one large chapter and one small, and two shore-based chapters, one from an installation command and one from a training command. The NAVADMIN provides detailed guidance to commanders on submitting a nomination. All registered active duty, Reserve Component and Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit CSADD chapters are eligible; however, only activities and suc-

cesses that occurred in fiscal year 2013 shall be included. The deadline for submissions by commanders to their appropriate regional commanders is Oct. 1, 2013. Regional commanders must mail or email their submissions no later than Nov. 1, 2013. Results will be announced in a future NAVADMIN. For more information, contact Amanda Alston, CSADD program coordinator, at (901) 874-6723 or by e-mail at amanda. alston@navy.mil.

New commander for USS New Mexico

By MC1(SW/EXW) Jason J. Perry Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs

GROTON, Conn. Virginia-class attack submarine USS New Mexico (SSN 779) held a change of command ceremony at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Conn., Sept. 16. Cmdr. Todd Moore relieved Capt. George Perez Jr. during a pierside ceremony aboard the vessel, which completed its maiden deployment last month. The keynote speaker, Capt. Michael Bernacchi, executive assistant for the Chief of Naval Personnel and former chief of staff at Submarine Group 2, returned to Groton and applauded Perez for a successful tour that included readying the submarine for sea operations following its commissioning. George pushed New Mexico through the largest [post-shakedown availability] ever - got it on time and on budget, which is very challenging in and of itself, said Bernacchi. That is an amazing achievement. Bernacchi said Perez and his crew moved up New Mexicos readiness timeline by months, enabling the ship

to take on duties earlier than expected after joining the active fleet in March 2010. Perez assumed command of New Mexico in October 2010. He is a masterful leader, said Bernacchi. He finds out what his people are good at and he makes them better. Under Perezs leadership, New Mexico was recognized for numerous awards and achievements including the 2011 Battle Efficiency E for surpassing other attack submarines in overall readiness. The crew also received the 2012 Supply S for logistical proficiency and was the 2013 Atlantic attack submarine nominee for the Capt. Edward F. Ney Award for food service excellence. Perez was also recognized for successfully leading New Mexico through its maiden deployment to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. The boat returned from the deployment in August. Perez applauded his crew of 140 enlisted Sailors and officers for their efforts during his tour. We were ready to go from the day we hit the water, and we have not looked back since, said Perez. The crew has been absolutely superb in

their performance and I couldnt have been more proud to have been their commanding officer in the past three years. Perez enlisted in the Navy in 1986 and served as a nuclear-qualified electricians mate. After being selected for the Enlisted Commissioning Program (Nuclear Option), he attended the University of

Texas and earned a bachelors degree in electrical engineering in 1991. He was promoted to the Navy rank of captain Sept. 1. Perezs relief, Moore, previously served on the staff of U.S Strategic Command. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1996 with a bachelors degree in systems engineering.

During ceremony remarks, Moore expressed excitement about the opportunity to lead his crew. I couldnt have imagined a better turnover or a better place to be than right here, right now. It is with great spirit and gratitude that I take command of USS New Mexico, said Moore. Tomorrow we return to the task of

breathing life into this new warship, preparing it and ourselves to be part of that global force and preparing to defend our land. USS New Mexico is the second Navy vessel to bear the name of the 47th state. The first ship was an accomplished battleship that won six battle stars for service during World War II.

For Lassek taking charge offers an opportunity to continue a rich command history. Cmdr. Smith, thank you so much for your comprehensive turnover, said Lassek, as he addressed the crowd. Your accomplishments and leadership are evident throughout the command. Since 1959, this command has changed names three times and had numerous OICs; the walls are filled with history, with successful missions led by those very same leaders and executed by outstanding Sailors. Im honored and very excited to lead this

team. Lassek reported to NIOD from US Fleet Cyber Command in Fort Meade, MD. Coming from the operational level, Ive excited to get back to the tactical level again, said Lassek. Smiths next duty station is Tactical Training Group Atlantic in Virginia Beach, Va.

fitness and goal setting. In the first session of DEFY, we focus on teaching a variety of life lessons, from fitness to healthy life choices, including positive relationship building, said Terrall. Weve partnered with Fleet and Family Support Center to assist us with the Presidential Fitness Challenge (PFC), which helps the children get into the mindset of how to get started in a fitness program and what they need to do to take care of themselves. According to Huband, the skills learning in PFC empower children to say no to at-risk behaviors. Part of the presidential challenge is not just the physical aspect, but the strength and endurance which correlates to them being able to avoid peer pressure, said Huband. What were trying to teach them is that if theyre strong enough to do push-ups and to push themselves they can resist at-risk behavior. Our overall goal is to tie that into peer pressure, so that if theyre pressured, they can be the stronger advocate and push themselves past that. Goal-setting is a major focus of the DEFY program which helps the children build up self-esteem adds Huband. During the first phase, the kids come up with their own skits and posters, said Huband. One of the activities centered on their goals, which arent just temporary, but long-term. They set goals not only upon themselves, but also goals that they can pass on to younger siblings as well as older family members. We set them up to have these goals, so they can pass along the knowledge to someone that they really care about. Terrall added that the ultimate intention in teaching the children positive values through the goal setting is that the benefits are bound-

The DOLPHIN recently had a chance to receive an update on the program and its progress from Huband and Cathy Terrall, program coordinator at the SUBASE Youth Center.

Phase 1 DEFY Summer Camp

Phase 1 is a two-week summer camp program and we focus on a variety of different things, said Terrall. In addition to focusing on educating the children to resist, we work with them in developing positive life skills, including fitness. Terrall added that, statistically, if a child doesnt use any negative substances by the age of 18, odds are that they wont use or try them. Not only does the DEFY program teach children about abstaining from drug and alcohol use, but the program also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle by teaching local youth about physical

less and it will lead them through a lifetime of success. If the children know how to prevent bad influences from entering their life, all those factors tie into being able to resist, said Terrall. This program gives the youth the skills, tools and resources to live a healthy lifestyle, resist at-risk behavior and teaches them to live their life to its fullest potential. Conflict resolution and developing positive relationships is another key to DEFY. We teach the children how to successfully resolve conflict, to avoid conflict and how to communicate effectively with others, said Terrall. Another wonderful thing I think they get out of it, is they develop these wonderful friendships with their peers and theyre all united in this goal of living a healthy lifestyle. Eighteen (18) youth graduated from Phase 1 in August and headed off to school this month.

meet one Saturday a month with DEFY leaders and mentors who help the youth focus on positive challenges and goals theyve set for themselves. The second phase really helps build those adult-staff relationships to help the children grow as young adults, said Huband. Those are also skills they need to be successful in school. According to Terrall, this second phase is as essential as the first because it provides children the opportunity to grow and develop further on their goals. The mentors during this phase include active-duty volunteers who, with their extensive knowledge, help the youth focus on any particular goals the children have set for themselves, said Terrall. The SUBASE Youth Center is also looking for more active-duty volunteers to assist the staff in mentoring the children during Phase 2, noted Terrall. At the final Phase 2 session, children participate in a special graduation ceremoPhase 2 ny, which rewards and celMentorship With the start of the school ebrates all their experiences, year, the DEFY experience achievements, and successes enters Phase 2: mentorship. within the program.

the SUBASE Youth Center strongly encourage children to return as mentors after they turn 13 years of age to help guide other kids toward the right path. Children who return as mentors take the information and knowledge theyve learned and apply it by becoming peer advocates, said Huband. They tell the kids not to just set their goals on a piece of paper, but set up their goals and live up to them. In its fourth year of being hosted and supported by the SUBASE Youth Center, DEFY, and its overall healthy mind, body, and spirit building process for the children enrolled, is making a difference according to Terrall. We arm them with the knowledge to be successful, said Terrall. From career path, schooling, social relationships it all ultimately ties into the whole child by helping them to really live a successful, happy, and productive adult life.

Suicide Prevention Month urged Sailors to Thrive in Your Community

By Navy Personnel Command and Navy New London Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Each year Americas Armed Forces recognize September as Suicide Prevention Month. This year, the Navy

focused on the importance of community and self-purpose when dealing with adversity, as outlined in NAVADMIN 212/13. The theme of this years Navy Suicide Prevention (SP) Month, Thrive in Your Community, encouraged Sailors to

work together as commands, units, installations or other groups to contribute to a project of their choice that benefits others. At Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE), the base chaplains office helped organize community

CNO Details Fiscal 2014 budget

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON - Even without the uncertainty caused by budget negotiations, it will take years for the Navy to recover from the effects of sequestration, the chief of naval operations told an audience at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington earlier this month [September]. Sequestration and the effects of the continuing budget resolution damaged readiness, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert said. The Navys budget reduction was $11 billion, the admiral said. The service cancelled five ship deployments, and the reduction cut into the services surge capacity, he added. Usually, we have three carrier strike groups and three amphibious ready groups able to respond within a week, Greenert said. We have one now, and thats going to be the story in fiscal 2014. The reduction in fiscal 2014 is $14 billion. The service exempted military manpower from the cuts, and this would mean 14 per-

cent reductions for all other accounts, the admiral said. Barring help from Congress in the next budget, he told the audience, the Navy will have to cancel half of its ship availability. We will cancel a lot of aircraft availabilities, he added. If we restored the budget after [fiscal 2014] and said, You have a full-up operations and maintenance budget, itll take about five years to get that backlog in aircraft maintenance down. Navywide, the service will reduce training for those not deploying, Greenert said. Some air wings will fly and aircrews will receive training, he said, but officials are uncomfortable with the amount of flight hours. Shipbuilding will drop in fiscal 2014 also. I would see the loss of a littoral combat ship, an afloat-forward staging base and advanced procurement for a Virginia-class submarine and a carrier overhaul, Greenert said. We might lose two more - a submarine and a destroyer - if we are unable to reprogram and move money into those accounts.

The Navy will lose about 25 aircraft, from helicopters to P-8s to F-35s, the admiral said. The civilian hiring freeze will continue, and theres a great potential we will have to do a reduction in force, Greenert said. The Navy will start a voluntary civilian retirement program immediately in fiscal 2014, which begins Oct. 1, to attenuate the need for involuntary reductions, he added. We need about a billion dollars to get into the operations and maintenance account and a billion into the procurement accounts so we can get it into shipbuilding, which will be my No. 1 priority in the Navy, he said. Beyond fiscal 2014, Greenert said, the bywords will be forward presence, readiness of deployed forces, developing and stressing asymmetric capabilities and new technologies, and cyber capabilities. We will reduce force structure in this plan, but we have to do it while preserving the right capacity to do one [major combat operation] in the future, he added.

service volunteer opportunities supporting Common Good Gardens in Old Saybrook, Conn. The gardens located behind Grace Episcopal Church off Main Street, are informally known as the soup kitchen garden, because of their contributions to the needy. SUBASE volunteers joined local gardeners in harvesting, mulching and composting at the site; and in the process helped provide nutritious, locally grown produce to five local food pantries in Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Clinton, Old Lyme, and East Lyme, which feed some 500 families per week. While we dont often think of it this way, suicide prevention actually happens every day at the deckplate, in our

neighborhoods, even in our own homes, said Capt. Kurt Scott, Navy Resilience chief. When we do small things that make a difference to those around us, we may not realize the effect were having on others lives-or our own, Scott said. Navy seeks to promote unity and cohesion in this context to emphasize the positive impacts of seeking help; Sailors that are willing to help others may be more willing to receive it when needed. Throughout the month, resources were released on www.suicide.navy.mil > Suicide Prevention Month to guide discussion on stress navigation, comprehensive wellness, and a sense of community-all protective factors against suicide.

Navys efforts to help Sailors better navigate their stress are an all hands evolution, all of the time. These initiatives extend far beyond September and serve as a launch pad for year-long local efforts to build resilience and unit cohesion, promoting a Navywide culture supportive of seeking help, said Scott.

GROTON, Conn. - Dana Barros, Teresa Edwards, NBA Cares Staff, MWR Staff and local youth participants gather together after the NBA FIT boot camp at SUBASE Youth Center.

Former Boston Celtic Guard, WNBA Star help kick-off Healthy Base Initiative, lead NBA FIT Boot Camp at SUBASE Youth Center
By Lt. j.g. Phillip Chitty

GROTON, Conn. Dana Barros, former Boston Celtics guard and Boston College standout, and Teresa Edwards, fivetime Olympian and former WNBA coach and player, teamed up with leadership, staff and youngsters at Naval Submarine Base New Londons (SUBASE) Youth Center on Saturday Sept. 21, to highlight the importance of health and wellness through basic basketball and fitness skills. Barros, Edwards, and staff from the National Basketball Association (NBA) joined SUBASE Commanding Officer Capt. Carl Lahti and Youth Center coaches and staff in hosting the youth-oriented NBA FIT Boot Camp, which kicked-off the bases Healthy Base Initiative (HBI). Its a wonderful opportunity to be here today and kick off this event, said Lahti. Weve been selected as one of [13] bases around the country to kick off an initiative to get people healthier on base. More than 100 young military family members aged 6-18 did just that as they enjoyed a circuit of fitness activities aimed at helping them develop core strength, speed, and coordination. Barros, Edwards and NBA Fit Boot Camp Clinician Sean Hanrahan encouraged and interacted with the

kids as they completed stretching and warmups and then practiced basketball skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. The important thing is that you find something you love to do and give it all you have, said Edwards to the gathered participants after the workout. Give it honesty, give it hard work, and give it discipline. If you want to be the best, youve got to work hard. The NBA has been helping SUBASE youth be the best for some time according to Cathy Terrall, SUBASE Youth Center Director. A large WNBA Connecticut Sun logo painted on the centers gymnasium wall dates to 2005 when WNBA allstars like Nykesha Sales, Diana Taurasi, and Sue Bird along with leadership from the WNBA and Connecticut Sun helped open a learning center in the building as part of the Read to Achieve Program. More recently, the centers newest computer classroom was made possible by Lebron James efforts on behalf of Boys and Girls Clubs of America following the NBA stars television special announcing his move to the Miami Heat. For Terrall it was rewarding to hear firsthand how the families and youth that attended were grateful to meet with, learn from, and be encouraged by the latest NBA and WNBA stars to be a making a

difference for SUBASE. Its been phenomenal. I cant tell you how many parents have personally thanked us for doing this for the kids, said Terrall. These children sacrifice for their country just like their families do, and hearing inspirational messages from these athletes, their heroes and role models, makes them feel valued and appreciated. Not only did the children learn from these NBA role models, but Edwards and Barros learned about submarine operations and life aboard one of the bases homeported Virginiaclass attack submarines, when they toured USS New Mexico (SSN 779). I was totally blown away today. I learned about the challenging life of submariners and what it takes to be a Sailor, said Barros as he met with local families. The capabilities of these submarines are amazing. I feel a lot more secure. Following the FIT Boot Camp, children and parents also had an opportunity to learn about healthy eating and nutrition as well as vegetable home-gardening from several interactive activities within the Youth Center. SUBASE was selected as one of 13 military installations piloting the Healthy Base Initiative under DODs Operation Live Well. Within the Department of Defense (DOD)s Operation Live Well and its goal to increase the

The NBA Cares Hoops for Troops Healthy Military Base Tour, and its Fit Boot Camp is such an opportunity.

The NBA and DOD launched the joint undertaking on Aug. 1, 2013, at Fort Sill in Lawton, Okla., to promote the importance of exercise, nutrition, and wellness among U.S. service men and women and their families. At SUBASE it was a clear success. This event exceeded expectations on all fronts. There was a tremendous amount of

cooperation by the NBA, and they have taught and continue to teach our youth valuable life skills, said Bob Kydd, SUABSE MWR Director. I couldnt think of a better way to launch our Healthy Base Initiative. For more information about Operation Live Well and the Healthy Base Initiative, visit: http://www.militaryonesource.mil/olw.

Oktoberfest boosts morale on SUBASE

By MC2(AW/SW) Kristina Young

Thursday, September 26, 2013 THE DOLPHIN 7

GROTON, Conn. Some 400 Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) community members enjoyed the food, fun, and music of Oktoberfest, as the bases Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Department hosted a Groton version of the German event at North Lake Sept. 21. SUBASEs Oktoberfest offered Sailors a chance to enjoy the official end of the summer season with their loved ones, while feasting on German cuisine and beverages, partaking in fun activities such as rockclimbing and tractor rides, and all while listening to lively, authentic German music from the Oktoberfest German Band. Were doing Oktoberfest for the morale of all family members, whether theyre active duty or retirees, said James Duben, MWRs outdoor adventures center manager, as helped manage the festivities. Everyones

having a great time, so Im very pleased with the outcome. This year, MWR introduced archery tag as an Oktoberfest activity. The game involved players donning protective gear and squaring up against opposing team members behind giant foam stands, while shooting arrows tipped with tennis balls for safety. This is the best activity Ive participated in, said Seaman Luis VelazquezPerez of Naval Submarine School (SUBSCOL). Its so engaging and interactive. Archery tag and other activities helped build a healthy appetite in festival goers which was satisfied by authentic German apple crisps, sauerkraut, pretzels, and bratwurst. Music helped enhance the atmosphere. Were glad were here, said David Lindsey, a brass instrumentalist with the Oktoberfest German Band that added festive music throughout the afternoon. Were extremely honored

to play for service members and their families. Setting up for the event took more than three days and required the assistance of some 20 volunteers from SUBSCOL. This event is very nice, said Seaman Marionito Schwabe of SUBSCOL, as he

passed out festive, German alpine hats for all to get in the spirit of Oktoberfest. I love meeting people and interacting with them. Oktoberfest originally began in 1810 as a wedding celebration between the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess

Therese. The festival was a sensation and the people of Munich decided to make the Oktoberfest an annual event. Oktoberfest, referred by locals as die Wiesn, has since grown to become one of the largest fairs in the world, attracting more

than six million people each year. SUBASEs Oktoberfest was offered free to military families. For more information on events sponsored by MWR, visit https://www.facebook.com/mwrsubasenlon.
