CHESAPEAKE, Va. (NNS) -- Naval AuxiliaryLanding Field Fentress reopened with a tradi-tional ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 16 in a cer-emony attended by both the mayors of Chesa-peake and Virginia Beach,Va.

The $19.2 million project was awarded Sep-tember, moving Field Carrier Landing Practice(FCLP) to other bases, primarily Naval Air StationOceana since January of this year.

“We’re happy to welcome everyone to thenew and improved Fentress,”said Capt Bob Geis,

NAS Oceana commanding officer. “These im-provements will make both Oceana and Fentressoperationally viable for many years to come.”

The project included laying down a com-pletely new concrete runway and many otherimprovements such as LED style lighting for therunways and taxiways along with upgrades tothe electrical, mechanical and communicationssystems, and landing signal officer (LSO) shacksthat will provide improved visibility for LSOs toobserve aircraft approaches and landings.

The new shacks will be more similar in place-ment and design to those on actual carrier decksimproving safety and realism of training for bothaircrafts and crews. markings that will expand

the versatility of the landing field.In addition, there will be new hold areas

that will allow for heavy aircraft to turn a he-licopter spot. The design for the project wasperformed by the Naval Facilities Engineer-ing Command Mid-Atlantic, who also oversawconstruction of the project by Lane Construc-tion of Cheshire, Conn.

“This project was a major undertaking inscope, complexity and timeliness,” said Capt.Paul Odenthal, NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic executiveofficer.“We are pleased to deliver this one of akind facility to Oceana.”

NALF Fentress began regular FCLP operationslater in the same afternoon of the ceremony.

BY LT. PAUL WIGGINTON,NAS Oceana Chaplain

I remember the day as if it had justhappened.It was our first full day in portand I was returning to the ship from set-ting up a Community Relations Projectwith a local school. While coming upthe brow I heard the words,“Chaplainyou’re needed in medical now.” I pro-

ceeded up the ladder well and into the back door of Medical. Isaw the CO,CMC,XO and Medical officer all look my way.

Then the skipper spoke.“Chaps,he’s locked in the ward andwon’t let anyone come in except you.”

I heard a brief of the events from the night before and duringthe day which lead to the crisis and then walked toward the door.Honestly, my training as a clergy and an officer was why theytrusted me to go through that door. What brought me throughthis particular crisis were the skills I learned in a workshop I hadtaken on suicide first aid only a few years before this event.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) helpedme to connect with this sailor in need during this time ofcrisis. As we talked about suicide and I understood his rea-sons for dying and for living, he found the reasons to live andstrength to stay safe. As he chose life that day,I realized that somany others needed the skills that I learned from ASIS.

It reminded me of the story Jesus told of the Good Samaritanin Luke 10:25-37. Jesus was asked the question of his disciplesof who was my neighbor,for they wanted to sort out who in lifethey should really be helping. Who was it they were responsibleto help and who could they just walk past and not be overlyconcerned for. Jesus then told of a fellowman who was attachedby robbers on his way from Jerusalem to Jericho. The man layhurting and his life was at risk as the robbers left him on the sideof the road.Several came by who either could not or would nothelp. But the Samaritan had the ability and willingness to helpthe man who had fallen by the side of the road. He bandaged hiswounds and put him up for the night. He provided immediatefirst aid to a person whose life was at risk.

Jesus asked them,“Who was this man’s neighbor”, the disci-ples responded,“The man who helped.”“Go and do likewise.”

Lt PaulWigginton is a Registered Trainer with LivingWorksASIST Program. He has partnered with other trainers in theSouth Hampton Roads area in conducting nine workshopsover the past year. If you are interested in attending an up-coming Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Workshop pleasecontact him through the NAS Oceana Chapel 433-2871 or byemail [email protected]

COROLLA,N.C.(Oct.6,2012) – Sail-ors from the Blue Blasters of StrikeFighter Squadron (VFA) 34 and theSunliners of VFA-81 coordinated ajoint effort to clean the beach at Co-rolla,N.C.Oct.6.

The Sailor’s joint effort was com-bined with an on going effort froma civilian off-road enthusiast groupcalled KMA.

“We do our part to clean up the hu-man trash,” said Aviation Electronic’sTechnician 1st Class (AW/SW) Paul

Golden, quality assurance represen-tative at VFA-34. Golden, an off-roadenthusiast and three-time supporter,initially heard about the communityrelations (COMREL) project fromother enthusiasts like himself.

According to KMA presidentKenn Current, the off-road enthusi-ast community is a large but tightknit community.

“We just put the word out and Iam always amazed at the support weget,” said Current. Current said theCOMREL started five years ago witha handful of people and six Jeeps,butnow with the ground swell of sup-

port from both service members andcivilians estimates 50 or more off-road vehicles and 100 supporters forthe beach clean-up this year.

“We get to use our rigs for funand to give back to the community,”said Current.

The off-road vehicles owned bythe supporters served as impres-sive tools to take volunteers to cleanup locations and haul debris left byboth natural processes such as deadshrubs and human waste such asabandoned fishing nets.

BY LT JASON BRUEHLNMITC Public Affairs

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – On October12th, 2012 the Sailors of the Navy andMarine Corps Intelligence Training Cen-ter (NMITC) held a birthday ceremonyto celebrate the 237th anniversary of theNavy’s establishment and reflect on therich heritage and legacy forged by theirpredecessors.

After the command gathered in forma-tion, the ceremony began with the FirstCall to Colors at 7:55 a.m., after whichNMITC’s Commanding Officer, CaptainWilliam Kotheimer, read both the Secre-tary of the Navy and the Chief of NavalOperations birthday messages to the Fleet,which highlighted the Navy’s history andthe 200th anniversary of the War of 1812,in addition to the vital role the U.S. Navywill continue to play globally as it movestowards the future. Following morningcolors, a traditional uniform inspectionwas conducted in preparation for the sea-

sonal uniform change on Oct. 15.After the inspection,Captain Kotheimer

introduced the event’s guest speaker,Command Master Chief Petty Officer(CMDCM) (retired) Derry Chalker. In hisremarks, Chalker highlighted the uniqueand challenging battlegrounds we arefighting on today, stating“America must al-ways remember we are at war … these en-emies bring the fight to us on our own soilat home and/or abroad. This war does andwill take exceptional efforts from each andevery one of you.” Chalker framed thesechallenges using the Navy’s core values ofhonor,courage,and commitment and howSailors need to apply them in challengingsituations, stating “I can tell you from per-sonal experience,with these three as yourfoundation, when you slip, and you willslip, the fall will be cushioned, recovery isquicker,people will respect you,and mostimportantly I think, you will respect your-selves.”

Following Chalker’s remarks, a Sailorread the story of the creation of the Con-

tinental Navy, focusing on the challengesleading up the Navy’s establishment,which was realized only after it becamecompletely evident to the ContinentalCongress that a single Navy under one flagwould best suit the needs of the colonies,as opposed to the idea that each colonyshould be responsible for the establish-ment and maintenance of their own indi-vidual navy.

Nine bells were struck in commemora-tion with the rest of the Navy. Eight bellswere rung to signal the end of the watch,representing the end of the current birth-day year, and one bell was rung to signalthe start of the new watch and the Navy’s238th birthday year. In his closing re-marks, Captain Kotheimer reflected onthe pride he felt in being part of an orga-nization with such rich history and signifi-cance,and he encouraged NMITC’s Sailorsto go forward and continue to carry thetorch into the future as their predecessorshave done, to ensure the Navy’s legacycontinues for generations to come.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. – More than 800 run-ners climbed,crawled and hauled themselvesthrough five miles of wooded terrain at theGrunt Run at Naval Support Activity Hamp-ton Roads (NSA HR) Northwest Annex inChesapeake,Va., Oct. 13.

The swampy course featured obstacles suchas a cargo net climb, monkey bars crossing amuddy bog,and a high wall rope descent.

“My favorite one was the wall with therope,” said Seaman Apprentice Erin Grenier,an Intelligence Specialist trainee at NavalAir Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex.“I havebloody knees, bloody elbows and rope burn,but I definitely had a good time.”

Runners of all ages competed in the racewith finishing times ranging from 30 minutesto 60 minutes and beyond.

“Last year we had 350 finish the race and thisyear we had 836,” said Gil Bouley, the MoraleWellfare and Recreation (MWR) Director at NSAHR.“We are very happy with the outcome.”

For many, the trails and obstacles were justthe challenge they expected from the man-agement team at Navy MWR.

The effort it takes to get to the point of beingphysically able to do a contest like this is con-siderable, said Bouley. The competitors were

well prepared based on the times at the finish.“We have battalion runs, workouts with sta-

tions three times per week,and we train at thegym across from our barracks when we can,”said Grenier.“We didn’t think we were going tomake it through this,but clearly we did.”

“We like to keep the course moderate sonobody will get hurt but challenging enoughso athletes will participate,”said Bouley.

Drill instructors stalked the course provid-ing the extra motivation required by someand dealing out punishment in the form ofpushups and bear crawls to runners attempt-ing to take the easy route.

“We all participated to motivate the run-ners,” said Private First Class Dillon Morrone,a NSA HR Security Force Training Companytrainee. “A few of us jumped in at the endand finished the race with a group to showthat even though we’re out there motivatingthem, that we are all a team.”

A team of more than 100 volunteers andMWR employees supported the run by pro-viding refreshments, music and motivation forrunners throughout the course. Bouley and histeam worked on this year’s event for six monthsto ensure success and will begin working on the2013 Grunt Run once the dust clears from 2013.

“It seems to be a trend throughout theUnited States,”said Bouley.“People love thesechallenges.This is only our second year andwe hope to have many more to come.”

Oceana takes a stand against domestic violenceBY CATHY HEIMERJet Observer

Rae Pearson-Benn shared her very movingstory of being a victim of domestic violenceduring a program, Oct. 16, at the Naval AirStation (NAS) Oceana Chapel of the GoodShepherd.The event, organized by the Fleetand Family Support Center (FFSC),was partof Oceana’s observance of National Domes-ticViolenceAwareness Month.

“Domestic violence isn’t an issue affect-ing other people. Many of you have ei-ther experienced an abusive relationshipor grew up in a family where you wereabused, or perhaps someone you love orcare about has been hurt by abuse…It af-fects our families, our communities,” saidToni Fox, counseling and advocacy pro-grams supervisor at FFSC.

In the 14 years Fox has worked with fam-ily advocacy,“I have never known an installa-tion leadership to be more actively involvedthan that of Capt. Geis and Capt. Chope…The way you lead makes a difference.”

Chope chairs the incident determinationcommittee and personally hears every al-legation of abuse reported to the Family Ad-vocacy Program. Since the committee waslaunched on May 24 through mid-September,101 allegations of abuse have been heard.

Fox shared how in fiscal year 2012, theOceana Family Advocacy Program received346 reports of intimate partner and childabuse allegations.“That’s just one year at justour installation. That means clearly that do-mestic abuse is an issue that impacts our mili-tary,our families,our coworkers,our friends,”said Fox.She said the number means that 346families received support services that mayhave made a real difference.

“We at Oceana take our role of advocacyvery seriously.There’s nothing more impor-tant than getting that good message out,”said Geis as he introduced Pearson-Benn.

Standing in front of the audience, it wasdifficult to believe the bubbly, articulate andwell-dressed woman,who is now Mrs.Virgin-ia Beach, and competed for the Mrs.Virginiatitle (the official state final for Mrs.America),could have ever been the victim of abuse.

“I represent your daughter. I representyour mom,your auntie,your best friend,thewoman down the block. It’s not a woman’sissue,it’s a human issue,”said Pearson-Benn,as her voice rose and fell with emotion.

“I speak today for the women whohave not yet found the courage to speakfor themselves because there was a time

when I could not,”she said.Pearson-Benn talked first about her life

now as a wife, a mother of a 2-year-old, thepublic information officer for the city ofChesapeake’s Economic Development De-partment and a producer for the city’sWCTVchannel.But then she took her audience backto her college days, when at age 22, she suf-fered abuse at the hands of her boyfriend of18 months that left her with sciatic nervedamage and a crushed pharynx.

Her relationship in 1996 with her then-boyfriend began as many college relation-ships do: they met at a party. Not a typicalcollege student, he was older, had a car, ca-reer and a house.“I just felt like I was spe-cial”when he paid her attention, she said.

She was actively involved in campus or-ganizations and a social butterfly; he wasquiet and more reserved but he quicklybecame her best friend and then her boy-friend.She thought it was“sweet”when he

wanted her to stick closer to him.She also thought he was very caring

when he started critiquing what she wore.She soon found herself stopping by hishouse every day before class for his ap-proval.That progressed to bringing anotheroutfit to change into -- just in case.And hefrequently didn’t like her choices, alwaysfinding fault with something. “It was tooshort, too tight, too this, too that,” is howshe described his constant criticism of her.

“But I thought it was because he caredand loved me,”she said.

Eventually her circle of friends got small-er and smaller because he found fault witheveryone else. But she still believed hewas only looking out for her best interests.“Eventually he was pretty much my onlyfriend,”explained Pearson-Benn.

Although she didn’t realize it,her behaviorchanged.Gone was the social butterfly and inits place was a young woman whose behav-

ior was governed by her boyfriend, “some-times with just a wink or a nod.”At the sametime, Pearson-Benn began noticing his inter-est in her had become “a tight, constrainedrage and I was always worried that I was go-ing to do something to trigger that behavior.”

Their arguing escalated to him lockingher in a room for eight hours “to thinkabout my behavior.”

Pearson-Benn admitted she should havelistened to her inner voice. “I knew itwasn’t healthy but I was so afraid. I knewsomething’s not right but I didn’t knowwhat was going to happen.”

The behavior progressed to him push-ing, shoving and restraining her. Then hebegan slapping her, using a closed fist onher face and eventually even that becamemore frequent.“It completely stunned mebecause I didn’t grow up in a householdwith that kind of behavior,”she said.

Because her parents and friends couldn’tstand him, the college student felt she hadnowhere to turn for help. But everyone no-ticed the changes in her.“I had shrunk into aperson I didn’t even recognize,”she said in avery quiet voice.“There came a time when Ialmost didn’t care about me anymore.”

But she finally saw an escape from therelationship when he took a trip to Ar-kansas to visit family.They didn’t talk for amonth and she finally felt free. But she ad-mitted she was drawn to him.So when sheran into him at a party,she agreed to go outwith him again.Stopping by his house first,they began arguing, then she bumped intoa white uniform that he had just ironed,accidently knocking it on the floor. It wasenough to trigger his rage and he beganto choke and repeatedly punch her as hescreamed obscenities at her.

Then he put his knee on her chest andcontinually squeezed her, “to the pointwhere I was going. I felt myself gettingvery limp.” But even as she was fadingin and out of consciousness, the 22-year-old was trying to process “how someonewho says he loves me with one side of hismouth can be choking the life out of me.”

When she came to and began gasping forair,he became even angrier.“He was so madthat I was still living!”Complicating her es-cape was the white pearl .22 gun that healways kept near him.Eventually he pickedup her and threw her outside on the con-crete outside – like a piece of trash.

Golden extended an invitation to Aviation Machinist’sMate 2nd Class (AW) Misty Herring, Moral Welfare andRecreation (MWR) vice president at VFA-81 and off-roadenthusiast, to gain support for the COMREL.

According to Herring, COMRELS like these are a greatway for Sailors and families new to the command to getto know there peers and network with other squadrons.

“It’s great way to get to know people out of the work-place and the kids get to play on the beach, run aroundand meet other kids,” said Herring.“Getting out and beingable to mingle in a happier atmosphere definitely boost,one moral, and gives people the chance to network.”

Herring said that in her nine months with the Sunlinersof VFA-81 that she has been able to meet a lot of peopleand familiarize herself with personnel while supportingCOMREL efforts like this one.

Most of the volunteers from the squadrons brought alongtheir spouses, children or both.One of those volunteers be-ing Logistics Specialist 1st Class (AW) Cynthia Flores,leadingpetty officer of material control at VFA-81. Flores broughther husband and three children to the COMREL to enjoysome family time and the beach and serve the community.

“I been out to the beach here, and I really love it outhere. Our family come’s out here every weekend duringthe summer when we aren’t deployed,and to see to it thatit gets cleaned up benefits the community and they [mem-bers of the community] see that we’re out here showingsupport. It builds camaraderie with our shipmates, plus Ican do it with my family,”said Flores.

Flores has been attached toVFA-81 for one year and saidthat when she arrived that the squadron had just returnedfrom a deployment and was preparing to deploy again.

However, back-to-back deployments have not dampenedthe volunteer spirit of these Sailors, according to Flores.

“It’s not only for us, it’s for everybody, so we can enjoy it[the beach] it’s just something that we do with our familiesand friends and that alone gives me satisfaction,”said Flores.

Flores’s volunteerism is apparent in the attitudes of herchildren as well.According to Flores’s son Rafael Flores, 12,he wanted to support the COMREL to do his part as a citizento support the efforts of service members around the worldby keeping the beach clean for when they return home.

“Honestly, to tell you the truth, I really wanted to comeout here just to help out the community,” said Rafael.“Justso that way when they [service members] come homethey can understand that we are grateful for what theyhave done for protecting us and serving the country.”

Golden said that he believes that the biggest benefac-tor of their efforts are the people in the community andeveryone who uses the beach.

“I was so devastated because I reallybelieved this man loved me,” said Pearson-Benn. Even after 15 years, the memory oflying there on the concrete, bruised andbloody, makes her cry.

She believes God spoke to her and toldher to get up.Hobbling to her car,she drovea block and a half to a friend’s apartment,where her injuries forced her to crawl upthe stairs to the door. When her friendopened the door,she screamed at the sightof the battered Pearson-Benn covered inblood.The police showed up and took herto the hospital, which only compoundedthe young woman’s misery because noweveryone knew about her relationship.

She pressed charges and her boyfriend re-taliated by pressing charges against her.Pear-son said the female judge in Norfolk laughedat him before dismissing his claim and findinghim guilty with jail time. But his appeal sentthe case to the circuit court,where that judgedismissed all charges. Pearson-Benn said thejudge told them it was “a lovers’ quarrel and

they should stay away from each other.”The experience left her broken – both

physically and spiritually.Although not will-ing to take her own life, she begged God“that if you love me, to please not let mewake up tomorrow.”

“I had no idea that that girl could become

this woman,”said Pearson-Benn.The chang-es began with forgiving herself for lettingit happen and forgiving her boyfriend,“notfor him but because my life had to go on.”

While she went from a weakened per-son to an angry young woman who hadsworn off men,it was her husband’s persis-tence that finally wore her down and madeher see that there could be good, loving re-lationships.Married three years ago,he fre-quently attends events where she speaksand brings their daughter with him.

Pearson-Benn only began competing in or-ganized pageants about a year ago. Becauseshe was already sharing her story, someonesuggested a pageant would give her a wideraudience to speak about domestic violence.

“It gives me an opportunity to step outthere with a crown and sash because youwould be surprised how a crown and sashcommands attention. Someone will listen toyou that wouldn’t if you didn’t have the crownand sash,”explained Pearson-Benn,who sharesher experience about twice a month.

Terra Flahardy,domestic abuse victim advo-cate at Oceana Fleet and Family Support Cen-

ter invited Pearson-Benn to speak at Oceanaafter hearing her story at another local eventseveral months ago.“I really believe you meetpeople who will have a profound impact onyour life,”said Flahardy about Pearson-Benn.

During the program, Flahardy offeredways for those attending to help abuse vic-tims in the community that ranged fromvolunteering to donating money and need-ed items at local shelters.

As Oceana Executive Officer Capt. KitChope closed the program, he remindedthe audience how domestic violence “im-pacts our readiness. It erodes our trust andconfidence.”

He asked those attending to look aroundat their family,their friends,their shipmatesand co-workers for signs of abuse.“Recog-nize those warning signs and act. People’slives absolutely depend on it,” said Chope.

“To me that was very touching. Me per-sonally, I have never experienced it. Buthearing her story, it opened my eyes tonotice the warning signs of domestic vio-lence,” explained AZ1(AW/SW) TaniseshaCurry following the presentation.

Violence: ‘I was so devasted ... I really believed this man loved me
