DoD to drop SUBASE celebrates Earth Day

SSNs from

40 Sargent Drive
WASHINGTON - Beginning
June 1, Social Security numbers
on military identification cards
will begin to disappear, said Air
Force Major Monica M. Matoush,
a Pentagon spokeswoman.
The effort is part of a larger
plan to protect service mem-
bers and other Department of
Defense (DoD) identification
card holders from identity theft,
officials said.
Criminals use Social Security
numbers to steal identi-
ties, allowing them to pillage
resources, establish credit or
to hijack credit cards, bank
accounts or debit cards.
Currently, the Social Security
number is printed on the back
of common access cards, and
on the front of cards issued
to dependents and retirees.
Beginning in June, when cur-
rent cards expire, they will be
replaced with new cards having Photo by MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair

Coast Guard Academy is looking for
sponsor families for Class of 2015 cadets
During the cadets’ first year at the Academy, they will experience a drastic transition from a civilian to a military way of life. Some
cadets adjust well, while others have a more difficult time. The Sponsor Program provides cadets with families who can help provide
some relief, advice, and guidance. It is also an important means of support, friendship, and learning beyond the Academy environment,
and helps to make the cadets’ integration into the military community easier and more effective.
To be eligible for the Sponsor Program, applicants, both military and civilian, must be at least 28 years old and live within 25 miles
of the Coast Guard Academy (exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis). Active duty military must have a rank/rate of E-7
or O-3 and above to be considered. All potential sponsors will undergo a background security check and provide two references with
their application.
If you are interested in becoming a Sponsor family or have any questions about the program, go online to their Web site at www.
cga.edu, (click on Cadet Life, then click on Cadet Resources and the Sponsor Program link is in the sidebar at the right) or, go directly
to www.uscga.edu/display.aspx?id=465. You can print off an application and send it in via mail or e-mail. An online version of the
application is coming soon!
If you have additional questions, contact the Sponsor Program Coordinator at (860) 701-6119 or e-mail Erika.L.Lund@uscga.edu.
Applications are due by June 30.
Remembering the Raiders - Heroes of World War II
By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn. – In the
early hours of April 18, 1942,
sixteen B-25 Mitchells lifted off
the flight deck of the aircraft car-
rier USS Hornet (CV 8) bound
for the home islands of Japan.
Led by Lieutenant Colonel
James “Jimmy” Doolittle, the B-
25 crews were to strike specific
targets in Tokyo, Yokosuka,
Nagoya and Kobe.
The crews had one problem
when they left Hornet, they
executed their mission 10 hours
and 170 nautical miles early.
Meaning they would attack at
midday and have little to no
fuel to reach China.
Following the December

Record retention, shifting missions prompt focused ERB
From Chief of Naval Personnel
Public Affairs
WASHINGTON -- The Navy
announced April 14 that it
will conduct a focused enlist-
ed retention board (ERB) in
August for 31 specific ratings.
The ERB will be conducted
as a result of record high reten-
tion and low attrition among
active duty Sailors and to meet
current and future planned end
strength controls.
Currently, the Navy is over-
manned in 31 of its 84 ratings,
and as a result, many ratings
have limited Perform-to-Serve
(PTS) quotas available, result-
ing in increased competition
and reduced opportunity for
strong performing Sailors to
reenlist. In order to enable
the PTS program to work as
designed to shape the force,
Navy leadership has determined
it is necessary to increase the
opportunity for top performing
Sailors to compete for a quota.
“Programs like Perform-to-
Serve and selective reenlist-
ment bonus have been effec-
tive tools at optimizing and
stabilizing our force strength.
Retention behavior, coupled
with the shift of 6,800 bil-
lets back to sea and develop-
ment of our capabilities in
key areas such as ballistic
missile defense (BMD), cyber
and information dominance
has necessitated the establish-
ment of the enlisted retention
board to meet congressionally
mandated end strength and to
rebalance the force,” explained
Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice
Admiral Mark Ferguson.
The board will review the
records of selected third class
petty officers (E-4) through
senior chief petty officers (E-8)

that authorizes commands to
fly a “Right Spirit” pennant as
long as the Command’s Sailors
have not had a DUI incident in
the previous year. The Right
Spirit Campaign, initiated by
the Secretary of the Navy in
1995, was designed to enhance
fleet readiness by the reduction
of alcohol abuse and related
incidents, to provide a safe and
productive working environ-
ment, and to ensure Quality of
morale, still reeling from the
attack on Hawaii and other
bases in the Pacific. A number
of ideas were offered and dis-
missed. One idea though did
stick; Navy Captain Francis
Low, a submariner and aide
to the Joint Chiefs, suggested
launching Army bombers from
a Navy aircraft carrier, which
had never been attempted.
Each plane carried four 500lb
bombs, three high explosive
munitions bombs and one
incendiary cluster bomb. The
raid wasn’t meant to decimate
Japan, rather to give the United
States a desperately needed
morale boost and to spread
doubt to the claim, put forth by
the Japanese leadership to its
citizens, that Japan was invul-
nerable to air attack.

age done would be both mate-
rial and psychological. Material

Doolittle, on July 9, 1942. “The
psychological results, it was
hoped, would be the recall-
ing of combat equipment from
other theaters for home defense
thus effecting relief in those the-
aters, the development of a fear

relationships with our Allies,
and a favorable reaction on the

The board will exclude
Sailors whose soft expiration
of active obligated service
(EAOS) date is in FY12 because
they will be considered in PTS.
The board will also exclude
those who advanced to their
current paygrade in cycles 208
(E-4/5/6), 209 (E-8/9), 210
(E-7), or 211 (E-4/5/6), are

Warfare Command enablers
and those currently enrolled
in the Navy’s Safe Harbor pro-
gram.
This quota-based board is
anticipated to review roughly
16,000 records and will identi-
fy approximately 3,000 Sailors
who will not be retained on
active duty. In essence, this
board will review roughly 6
percent of the force to sepa-
rate approximately 1 percent.
Separation quotas will be
developed by individual rat-
ing, pay grade and years of
service, and will be published
once the board convenes.
In an effort to provide maxi-
mum opportunities for con-
version ahead of the board,
eligibility requirements will
be adjusted to allow eligible
Sailors to convert to an under-
manned rating prior to the
board convening. Those Sailors
approved for rating conver-
sion prior to the board will be
exempted. Procedures to apply
for rating conversion will be
published by May 1 and the
a safer option to getting behind
the wheel after drinking. In cer-
tain circumstances, commands
may be authorized to provide
safe rides to Sailors who think
they may be unsafe to drive. In
other cases, outside organiza-
tions may be there to help.
“I want you to know that
we are doing everything in our
power to address this problem,”
said McLaughlin. “Alcohol abuse
and drug use is costly in terms
of life and time lost and is a
severe detriment to morale and
personal lives. It undermines the
very fiber of combat readiness,
health, safety discipline, reliabil-
ity, judgment and loyalty. It also
destroys families. We are here to
work hard to help prevent all of
that. And, with the dedication,
service, and devotion of people
like you, your family, and your
spouse, we can make alcohol-
related misconduct a thing of
the past.”
There is zero tolerance for
this behavior, and the message
to all Sailors is clear:” DO NOT
DRINK AND DRIVE!”

SUBASE rises to meet Earth Day Challenge

GROTON, Conn. – Naval
Submarine Base New London
(SUBASE) Sailors answered
Commanding Officer, Captain Marc
W. Denno’s challenge to clean up
and support the community environ-
ment of Southeastern Connecticut
during the fourth annual Earth Day
Challenge last week.
From Haley Park and Fort
Griswold to Lyman Art Museum,
the Anderson Avalonia Marsh and
even in Balfour Beatty Communities
(BBC) Sailors from numerous base
commands picked up rakes, shovels,
pruning shears and trash bags to
beautify parks and nature centers.
At Bluff Point State Park, 45 Naval
Submarine School (SUBSCOL) stu-
dents, instructors and staff members
spent April 21 clearing the park of
trash, leaves and debris and even
expanded a bike path to allow for
easier passage.
“This was a great opportunity for
SUBSCOL,” said Religious Program
Specialist 2nd Class Chi-san Yeung
from the schools staff. “It gave the
students a chance to get out of the
classrooms and help out in the com-
munity.”
Reasons for participating in the
events ranged from wanting to make
a difference to getting out and exer-
cising according to the Sailors.
At Groton’s Revolutionary War
fortification, Fort Griswold, Fleet
Industrial Supply Center (FISC)
New London, Regional Legal Service
Office Mid-Atlantic (RLSO) and
Naval Submarine Support Facility
(NSSF) Sailors cleaned around the
main house, removing brush, debris
and trash. Then they got a rare treat
as they replaced stones along the
covered way in the old fort.
“It was great to be able to come
out to an historical site like this and
help out,” said Electronics Technican
1st Class Tiffany Weiss. “It gives you
a real appreciation for our history.”
In all, more than 150 Sailors vol-
unteered their time to make a differ-
ence and help out in the community.

The Garde Arts Center con-
cludes its 2010-11 Opera Series
with Connecticut Lyric Opera’s
(CLO) rendition of Giacomo
Puccini’s powerfully dramatic
opera, “Tosca,” the story of
a popular opera diva brought
down by the chief of Rome’s
secret police, May 15 at 4
p.m. The Connecticut Virtuosi
Chamber Orchestra – led by
CLO Artistic Director, maestro
Adrian Sylveen – will accompa-
ny the fully staged opera, which
will be presented in Italian with
English supertitles.
Set in Rome in June 1800,
“Tosca” is the story of an opera
diva, Floria Tosca, a beautiful,
brilliant and spoiled woman
madly in love with a young
painter and revolutionary, Mario
Cavaradossi. When Mario is
arrested for helping an escaped
political prisoner, Tosca subjects
herself to the sexual desires of
the sadistic chief of the secret
police, Baron Scarpia, in a des-
perate but unsuccessful attempt
to save her lover from death.
Murder and suicide are her final
acts of defiance and bring the
story to a stunning conclusion.
Tickets are $52 for orches-
tra, $60 for loge, $40 for front
balcony, and $32 for rear bal-
cony. Tickets are available at

Tricare makes moving

easier for active duty families
By Tricare Management Activity

FALLS CHURCH, Va. - Moving is inevitable for service members. Whether it’s
across states or across countries, the number of things-to-do on their moving check-
list can be daunting.
Active duty service members (ADSMs) and active duty family members (ADFMs)
who are moving to a new location can now transfer their Tricare Prime enrollment
with a simple phone call. In most transfers, this means no more filling out enroll-
ment forms. This new telephone option adds convenience for ADSMs and their
families.
Moving ADSMs simply call their current regional health care contractor to transfer
their family’s enrollment, and include a cell number and email address. The new
regional contractor will contact them within five business days after the relocation
date to finalize their Tricare transfer.
The enrollment transfer includes a new primary care manager (PCM) best suited
to the location of the ADSM’s work, home and anticipated medical needs. If moving
within the current region, this process can be used to help them transfer to a new
PCM.
ADSMs and their families will not have to worry about coverage during this trans-
fer process because they are continuously covered under Tricare. Once settled, they
can confirm coverage on the Beneficiary Web Enrollment (BWE) Web site. This link
and more information can be found at www.tricare.mil/moving.
If an ADSM or ADFM forget to notify his or her current regional contractor of their
upcoming move, they still have the option to contact the new regional contractor to
transfer enrollment via phone.
This new phone option adds to the number of choices ADSMs and ADFMs already
have in transferring enrollment when moving. Other options include transferring
through military base in-processing, online through BWE and by downloading and
completing an enrollment application (DD Form 2876) to mail. To download this
form, visit www.tricare.mil/forms. ADSMs and their families can also visit a local
Tricare Service Center.
Tricare believes this ‘before and after’ customer service approach will create a
smooth enrollment transfer for ADSMs and their families. For more information on
transferring Prime enrollment, go to www.tricare.mil/moving.
