American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON - The
U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs wants
veterans to know about
their benefits, from job
and education opportu-
nities to home loans and
programs for those who
are disabled, a VA offi-
cial said May 30.
Veterans caught in
todays high rate of
unemployment likely
can find a job in one of
the more than 200 high-
demand careers that
have been identified by
the Department of Labor,
said Curtis Coy, VAs
deputy under secretary
for economic opportu-
nity. Those occupations
are listed on the VAs
Web site.
The U.S. Department
of Labors most-recent
figures from last year
show 900,000 veter-
ans out of work, aver-
aging 7.7 percent of
Americans, and 12.1 per-
cent for veterans return-
ing home from Iraq and
Afghanistan. The high-
demand jobs list is not a
narrow one; in fact, it is
a very broad list, Coy
said, adding that the
2011 legislation, VOW to
Hire Heroes Act of 2011
was enacted for veterans
looking for meaning-
ful employment in high-
demand jobs.
Overall, the VOW
to Hire Heroes Act
would lower the rate of
unemployment among
the nations veter-
ans, and combine two
Congressional provi-
sions from the Veterans
Opportunity to Work Act
and the Hiring Heroes
Act, VA officials said.
The act also would pro-
vide veterans tax cred-
its in an all-inclusive
jobs package to fight the
veteran unemployment
rate. The act has more
than 20 provisions,
including tax credits for
businesses that hire vet-
erans, Coy said.
It also makes the
Transition Assistance
Program mandatory as of
Nov. 21 for every depart-
ing service member. TAP
readies departing active-
duty personnel to re-
enter the civilian world,
officials said. [TAP] is
going to have a major
impact on VA, DoL and
the Defense Department
because what used to
be a voluntary program
is now mandatory, Coy
said.
Coy also wants vet-
erans to know they
can apply for up to a
year of paid training
to qualify for high-
demand jobs through
the Veterans Retraining
Assistance Program.
The VRAP training is
geared toward veterans

MCPON Visits Groton, watches No Zebras, No Excuses
By MC2 Thomas L. Rosprim
Office of the Master Chief Petty
Officer of the Navy
GROTON, Conn. -
Master Chief Petty Officer
of the Navy (MCPON)
joined 2,000 Sailors on
Naval Submarine Base
New London June 14
to watch a presentation
aimed at raising aware-
ness of sexual assault
and prevention.
The 90-minute pro-
duction by students
of Central Michigan
Universitys (CMU) No
Zebras, No Excuses
performance team took
place as a training aid
during the bases weekly
general military training
afternoon.
A quick talk by MCPON
launched the event.
I want everyone to
have eyes on target to
this, said MCPON(SS/
SW) Rick D. West. You
have to take this as seri-
ous as you take subma-
rine schooling, because
it is a serious thing in
our Navy right now.
The performance was
a series of real-life sce-
narios followed by brief
lectures with members
of CMUs team.
Were talking about
sexual aggressi on
here, said Stephen M.
Thompson, CMU direc-
tor of Sexual Aggression
Services and facilita-
tor of the performance.
Sexual aggression mani-
fests itself in many ways;
sexual assault, stalking,
harassment, and partner
violence. All four have
one thing in common
and its about power and
control.
Mixed with comedy
and drama the CMU
team hit home the fact
that 1 in 4 people will
be a victim of sexual
aggression at some point
in their life.
I think this is
great, said Electronics
Technician 2nd Class
Boyd Moats. I just hope
my shipmates get the
message that they are
trying to get across.
In the end, the lesson
was summed up with
one word - action.
These incidents do not
happen in a vacuum,
said Thompson. Other
people know, but they
just dont know what to
do about it and thats
why we are here. The
first thing you have to do
is notice behavior.
Thompson went on
to discuss the concept
of notice, interpret, and
choose. He spoke about
how one may notice an
individual taking candy
off the shelf in the gro-
cery store and stuffing
their pockets. The action
is then interpreted as a
crime. The result of this
situational awareness
is a fork-in-the-road of
choice; do something,
i.e. tell the manager, or
do nothing.
Doing nothing is the
zebra, said Thompson,
referring to an earlier
analogy of bystanders
being similar to a herd
of zebras. You cant
change what you were
before you walked in
those doors. You can
change what you are now
and what you are going
to be after today. Choose
not to be a zebra.
The performers are all
volunteers and this stop
is part of a larger tour
that includes: Kaneohe
and Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, June 18 through
21; Yokosuka, Japan,
July 16 and 17; Okinawa,
Japan, July 19 and 20;
Great Lakes, Ill., July
31 through Aug. 4; Port

GROTON, Conn. Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (SS/SW) Rick D. West, addresses a special
Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) SUBSCOL General Military Training (GMT) session that
also encompassed SUBASE personnel ranked E-1 to E-6 at Dealey Theater, June 14. The presentation
No Zebras, No Excuses, was focused on the importance of combating sexual assault within the
ranks of the Navy. I want everyone to have eyes on target to this, said West. You have to take this
as serious as you take submarine schooling, because it is a serious thing in our Navy right now.

More than 11, 000 blood
donations are urgently
needed to meet the basic
need for Connecticut
hospitals this June. The
American Red Cross urges
those who are eligible to
help meet the need by
donating blood. Blood
donations tend to drop in
the summer months due
to travel, vacations and
schools out of session.
Blood is used for
patients undergoing many
surgical procedures, organ
transplants, trauma and
chemotherapy. For some
patients, such as the vic-
tim of an automobile acci-
dent, the need for blood
is sudden. For others,
ongoing transfusions are
needed to sustain medical
treatment. While all blood
types are needed during
the summer months, Type
O blood continues to be in
particular demand due to
its versatility.
Potential donors must
be at least 17 years of
age, weigh at least 110
pounds and be in good
health. Donors under the
age of 19 may need to
meet additional height
and weight
requirements. Donors
can give blood every eight
weeks and are urged to
give often during the sum-
mer months.
To make an appoint-
ment or find more infor-
mation about giving
blood, call the American
Red Cross at 1-800 RED
CROSS or visit online at
redcrossblood.org.
During the 2012 Red
Sox regular season, all
presenting blood donors
have the chance to enter
to win two Boston Red
Sox tickets and to be hon-
ored at Fenway Park as
the Blood Donor of the
Game.

members at the clinic. The Hospital Corpsman rating was established on June 17, 1898 and is the largest and most decorated rating in
the Navy. Their have been more than 20 ships in the Navy named for fallen and heroic Navy Corpsman.
From SUBASE NLSO
GROTON, Conn. -
Congress passed the
Service members Civil
Relief Act (SCRA) to pro-
vide protections for ser-
vice members in several
key areas. This article
highlights some of these
key protections and
addresses who is pro-
tected.
Who is protected
Active duty service
members in the Army,
Navy, Marines, Air
Force, and Coast Guard.
National Guard or
Reservists called to active
duty for more than 30
consecutive days.
Interest rate
protection
The SCRA allows you
to request that the inter-
est rate you pay on a
debt incurred before you
joined the military be
reduced to an APR of 6
percent. To be eligible
for the 6 percent cap,
you must have incurred
the debt before join-
ing the service. Service
members should provide
lenders with a written
request for the inter-
est rate reduction and a
copy of their active duty
orders.
Lease protection
The SCRA extends the
right to terminate resi-
dential leases to active
duty service members.
In order to qualify for
termination of a residen-
tial lease one of the fol-
lowing conditions must
have been met:
(1) the service mem-
ber entered into the
lease prior to active duty
status; or
(2) signed a lease
while already on active
duty status and then
received PCS or deploy-
ment orders for at least
90 days.
The SCRA also pro-
vides for termination of
automobile leases in the
following situations:
Leases entered while
on active duty:
(1) If service-member
receives PCS orders from
CONUS to OCONUS; or
(2) If service-member
receives PCS orders from
OCONUS to CONUS;
Leases entered prior
to active duty:
(3) If service-mem-
ber receives orders to
active duty for at least
180 days.
Residency and
taxes
If you are on active
duty, the SCRA guaran-
tees that your state resi-
dency will not change
just because of your mil-
itary orders. This means
that you will continue to
pay state taxes only to
your home state, unless
you change your state of
residency voluntarily.
Stays and default
judgments
The SCRA allows an
active duty service mem-
ber to request a stay of
proceedings (temporary
delay of court proceeding)
in a civil action under cer-
tain conditions. A default
judgment (judgment in
your absence) cannot be
issued until the Court has
determined whether you
are eligible for a stay. These
protections do not apply to
criminal or administrative
proceedings.
Every situation is differ-
ent and some of the pro-
tections mentioned may
not apply to your circum-
stance. The SCRA also pro-
vides for other protections
not mentioned in this arti-
cle. For further informa-
tion, make an appointment
with a Legal Assistance
Attorney by calling the
Naval Legal Service Office
North Central, Branch
Office Newport at (401)

COMSUBGRU 2 Celebrates Flag Day at Wheeler Middle School
By Lieutenant Commander

Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
NORTH STON-
INGTON, Conn. -
Commander, Submarine
Group 2 spoke at a
Flag Day celebration at
Wheeler Middle School
in North Stonington,
Conn., June 14.
Nearly 100 Wheeler
Middle School middle
school students, faculty
and community mem-
bers attended the cel-
ebration to pay tribute
to Flag Day.
Flag Day is about who
we are as Americans,
a symbol of our coun-
try, said Rear Admiral
Rick Breckenridge, com-
mander, Submarine
Group 2. This day lets
us take a moment to
reflect on what it is to be
good New Englanders,
good American patriots.
In each generation the
men and women have
stood up and answered
the call to defend our
flag.
During his speech,
Breckenridge shared a
story of how Francis
Scott Key, an attorney,
negotiated the exchange
of prisoners while
aboard a British troop-
ship. Key witnessed the
American flag being
fired upon while it was
flying gallantly over Fort
McHenry.
During the final battle
even though every gun
was drawn and fired on
the flag, it still stood.
The guns raged through-
out the night and, as Key
later described, the rock-
ets red glare and bombs
bursting in air gave proof
through the night that
our flag was still there,
said Breckenridge.

NORTH STONINGTON, Conn (June 14, 2012) - Commander, Submarine Group 2, Rear Adm. Rick
Breckenridge salutes the colors during a Flag Day celebration at Wheeler Middle School in North
Stonington, Conn. The admiral and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jim Chianese were the guest speakers who
encouraged the middle-schoolers to remain true to the flag and remember what it means to a nation,
to the people that defend it and to remember those who have gone before us and paid the ultimate
sacrifice so that the flag may still wave.
This day lets us take a moment to reect on
what it is to be ... good American patriots.

OLD LYME, Conn. -
Sailors assigned to
Naval Submari ne
Support Facility at Naval
Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) vol-
unteered at High Hopes
Therapeutic Riding,
Inc., June 8, in prepara-
tion for their annual sig-
nature event featuring
Orchestra New England
in Old Lyme.
Electronics Technician
Second Class Daniel
Schwab, who is assigned
to NSSF, decided he
wanted to get involved
in the community
around SUBASE several
years ago.
When he was pursuing
volunteer projects dur-
ing his off-duty hours,
he found a pleasant
horse riding facility that
specializes in helping
children and adults with
an array of physical and
mental disabilities.
As soon as I started
volunteering here, I fell
in love with the work
and people immediate-
ly, said Schwab.
The High Hopes will be
hosting an event called
Symphony which will
feature the renowned
Orchestra New England
along with famous
underwater explorer Dr.
Robert Ballard.
To assist High Hopes
with this endeavor,
Schwab realized that
a lot of physical labor
would be required to
put together such an
event and organized vol-
unteers to erect the stag-
ing and other equipment
related to the gala.
We are so grateful for
the many hours of dedi-
cation that our volun-
teers give; we certainly
could not do all that we
do without their help,
said Kitty Stalsburg,
executive director, High
Hopes.
Stalsburg added that
more than 600 volun-
teers from all across
the state of Connecticut
and beyond assist High
Hopes in all facets of
their program.
High Hopes is one
of the oldest and larg-
est therapeutic riding
centers in the United
States, operating since
1974 and accredited by
Professional Association
of Ther apeut i c
H o r s e m a n s h i p

NEW LONDON, Conn.
Area Navy and Coast
Guard leadership joined
state, local, and Operation
Sail (OpSail) Connecticut
officials at Fort Trumbull
State Park on June 14, to
formally announce the sea
service ships scheduled to
participate in Julys OpSail
2012 Connecticut.
The ships include a Dock
Landing Ship and four
Yard Patrol Craft from the
Navy, and four Coast Guard
Cutters as well as the Coast
Guards tall ship, Barque
Eagle. In total, 22 ships will
participate in the multi-day
OpSail Connecticut celebra-
tion, July 6-8, which com-
memorates the bicentennial
of the War of 1812.
The largest ship that will
participate is the 609 ft.
long, Navy Dock Landing
Ship, USS Carter Hall (LSD
50). Dock Landing Ships
support amphibious opera-
tions including landings
of U.S. Marines and other
forces onto hostile shores
and Carter Hall will bring
with it a crew of more than
500 Marines and Sailors.
Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE)
Commanding Officer,
Captain Marc Denno
highlighted that OpSail is
eagerly anticipated by the
ship and crew who spent
nine months last year at
the tip of the spear - sup-
porting Operation Enduring
Freedom as well as flood
relief efforts in Pakistan.
I know our Sailors and
Marines are looking forward
to not only enjoying the sites
and hospitality of OpSail, but
also, the chance to interact
with visitors and members
of Southeastern Connecticut
and thank them for their
support, said Denno.
Four Yard Patrol Craft
from the United States Navy
Academy will bring scores
of Midshipmen to New
London, Denno added, and
round out the Navys par-
ticipants for OpSail.
U.S Coast Guard 87-foot
Coastal Patrol Boats Sailfish
and Ridley along with buoy
tender Juniper (WLB 201)
and icebreaker Morro Bay
(WTGB 106) will join the
Barque Eagle at OpSail,
according to Coast Guard
Lieutenant Amy Miller, an
OpSail Planning Officer
assigned to Coast Guard
Sector Long Island Sound.
We are very proud of
our service to the nation
as Americas oldest seago-
ing maritime service, said
Miller. And we are hon-
ored to provide the public
this wonderful opportunity
to enjoy their Coast Guard
assets up close and per-
sonal, and to showcase our
history and heritage.
Other elements of OpSail
will include a an amphibious
landing demonstration with
a landing craft from USS
Carter Hall storming the
beach at Niantics the Hole-
in-the-Wall Beach, and a fly-
over and search and rescue
exhibition along the Thames
River by Coast Guard fixed
wing and rotary aircraft.
The announcement event
at the historic Fort Trumbull
also highlighted Flag Day,
the anniversaries of the dec-
laration of war and first naval
engagement of the War of
1812, and the states long his-
tory with the sea services.
The Coast Guard and
the Navy have a long
history in Southeastern
Connecticut. From the
War for Independence to
the War of 1812, that this
OpSail commemorates, the
sea services have been part
of the fabric of the state and
this region, said Denno.
Noting that the precursor
to the current Coast Guard
Academy came ashore at Fort
Trumbull in the early 1900s
and just prior to that, in the
late 1800s, the New London
Navy Yard Committee spear-
headed the establishment
upriver of the naval instal-
lation that would become
the SUBASE, Denno spoke
of the pride service members
have in calling southeastern
Connecticut home.
The great generosity of
the people of Connecticut
has made our services most
wanted neighbors and wel-
come members of the com-
munity, said Denno. Today
as Southeastern Connecticut
celebrates the sea services
and our maritime history
with OpSail, the synergy
between the Navy, the Coast
Guard, state and local gov-
ernment, business, and the
community has never been
more evident.
The state has equally strong
sentiment for the services
according to Connecticut Lt.
Governor Nancy Wyman,
the senior state official at the
event.
I know I speak for of
Connecticuts residents when
I say how proud we are
of the role the Navy, Coast
Guard and our own National
Guard play in the defense of
our nation, and the life of
our state, said Wyman.
With just a few weeks
before the ships participating
in OpSail 2012 Connecticut
anchor off Niantic on Friday,
July 6, and then proceed to
the Thames River, Saturday,
July 7, for the Parade of Sail,
many of the officials at the
announcement event were
looking enthusiastically
looking forward.
I cant wait, said
Wyman. Im really so excit-
ed, its going to be the pre-
mier event.

Hosts
Safety Fair
By MCSN Gabriel Bevan
GROTON, Conn. In concert with
Junes designation as National Safety
Month, Naval Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) and base tenant
commands held a Safety Fair in Dealey
Center Plaza, June 15.
National Safety Month is an annual
observance to educate and influence
behaviors about the leading causes of
injuries and preventable deaths; and
according to Rear Admiral Brian Prindle,
Naval Safety Center Commander:We
have lots of work to do and lots of
opportunities to make each year better
and with less mishaps.
Spearheaded by the bases Safety
Department, the SUBASE Safety Fair
joined representatives from the base
health clinic, environmental depart-
ment, and fire department with a vari-
ety of vendors and booths from the dif-
ferent activities on the base that deal
with safety and well being.
Grilled food and engaging infotain-
ment like the computerized motorcycle
safety trainer and McGruff the Crime
Dog were big attractions to fair goers.
Electronics Technician 2nd Class
(SS) Lee Steen, Base Consolidated
Telecommunications (BCT) center
watch floor LPO and volunteer fire
fighter, thought highly of the event and
said that he felt this was important to
showcase SUBASE safety departments.
As an LPO and a volunteer fire fight-
er, I know the importance of maintain-
ing a safe environment, said Steen. I
think its important for people on the
base to see what options are available
to keep them safe.
Motorcycle safety is an especially
important safety issue in the Navy.
A report from the Navys Safety Center
stated, in 2011, motorcycle riders were
responsible for 64 percent of the Navys
personal motor vehicle (PMV) fatali-
ties, but motorcycles comprise only 10
percent of motor-vehicle operators, and
only 10 percent of those riding motor-
cycles had been through training.
Here on SUBASE, a motorcycle safety
course is available for those inter-
ested.
For more information, call the
SUBASE Safety Office at (860) 694-
3901.
GROTON, Conn. A SUBASE Safety Fair goer prepares to receive his change after purchasing lunch items, June 15. Grilled foods not only
added to the fair-like atmosphere, but also allowed fair goers to eat lunch while at the event.

MCPON closed the event with a few words.
When referring to sexual assault think of the following powerful words; not
in our Navy, live with honor, courage, and commitment, said West.
Sexual Assault Prevention and Response is an important element of the read-
iness area of 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, which consolidates a
set of objectives and policies, new and existing, to maximize Sailor and Marine
personal readiness, build resiliency and hone the most combat-effective force
in the Navy and Marine Corps. The Department of the Navy is working aggres-
sively to prevent sexual assaults, to support sexual assault victims, and to hold
offenders accountable.

MCPON ...
between the ages of 35
and 60, the hardest-hit
unemployed age group,
he said, adding that the
education benefit must, by
law be used toward earn-
ing an associates degree
or job certification. The
marketing tool we use is
if you are or know of a
veteran between ages 35
and 60 whos unemployed
and [can] use another year
of educational benefits to
attain a high-demand job,
the VRAP program is the
exact, wonderful new ben-
efit that will help them get
that meaningful employ-
ment, Coy said.
Applicants for the
education program are
taken on a first-come,
first-served basis after
their eligibility is con-
firmed, he added. The
VA Web site has details.
I think the VA always
has been the institu-
tion that takes a look at
our veterans, not only
today, but veterans of
the past, and provides
those services and ben-
efits that Congress has
so generously provided
to [them], said Coy, a
24-year Navy veteran.
Our job is to ensure
veterans know of and
get the benefits they so
richly deserve.
In addition to bene-
fits for training for jobs,
Coy wants veterans and
active-duty service mem-
bers to know about VAs
Home Loan Guaranty
program for VA mort-
gages and Specially
Adapted Housing Grants.
VA mortgages in the
past 15 quarters had the
lowest foreclosure rates
of any component in the
country, Coy said.
That speaks volumes
about our veterans,
their responsibilities,
and how they deal with
business, he said. The
foreclosure rate in this
country and the number
of homes under water
is a problem for many
Americans. What weve
done to help our veter-
ans is keep a very close
eye on [their] mortgag-
es. VA doesnt lend
veterans the money for
mortgages. Instead, VA
provides a loan guaran-
tee. We have a vested
interest in being good
stewards of our taxpayer
money, Coy said. Last
year, we helped over
72,000 vets retain their
homes who may not
have been able to retain
them otherwise. Thats a
10-percent increase over
the year before.
He said the VA pro-
vides proactive sup-
port for veterans who
might get into trouble
with their mortgage.
We can be good agents
for them, and in some
cases intercede or help
them with their banks
and mortgage lenders to
perhaps restructure [the
loan] or take a look at
the nuances of that par-
ticular mortgage, Coy
explained. We want to
make sure our veter-
ans stay in their homes,
and we do everything to
help them do just that,
he added.
Eligibility for a VA
home loan includes
being a veteran or ser-
vice member, having
good credit and the abil-
ity to pay the mortgage,
Coy said, noting no
money down is required,
unlike private lenders.
We are very scrupulous
to make sure veterans
dont get in over their
heads on their mortgag-
es, he said.
The VA also offers
Specially Adapted Housing
Grants for disabled veter-
ans and wounded war-
riors, with grants up to
$64,000 in homeowner
assistance used to config-
ure veterans homes for
their particular disability,
Coy said.
Information on the
grant is available on the
VA Web site, along with
toll-free numbers, a list of
57 regional offices across
the country, and some 800
vocation and rehabilitation
programs. The VA always
has been the institution that
takes a look at our veter-
ans, not only [from] today,
but veterans of the past,
and provides those services
and benefits that Congress
has so generously provid-
ed, Coy said. Our job is
to ensure veterans know of
and get the benefits they so
richly deserve.
