MILLINGTON, Tenn. - As a reminder of the implementation date of July 1, a summary of pol-icy changes to the Navy’s High Year Tenure (HYT) program were reiterated in NAVADMIN 198/12, released June 28.

The new HYT pol-icy is outlined in MILPERSMAN 1160-120 and took effect July 1, 2012. It applies to all active-duty, Full-Time Support (FTS) and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors.

HYT sets the maxi-mum number of years an enlisted Sailor may serve based on rank before he or she must advance, separate or if eligible, retire.

NAVADMIN 198/12 highlights other impor-tant changes under the new policy, including a reduction in HYT lim-its for active-duty and FTS Sailors in paygrades E-1 to E-3; elimination of passed not advanced (PNA) for E-3 Sailors to stay on active duty for eight years; a clause allowing approved HYT waivers to be cancelled when not fulfilled as approved; and clarifica-tion of reduction-in-rate procedures.

The new HYT limit for E-1 and E-2 active-duty and FTS Sailors is four years, and the new HYT limit for E-3 active-duty and FTS Sailors is five years.

E-1, E-2 and E-3 active-duty and FTS Sailors who are already past the modified HYT limit as of July 1 will

be separated by March 31, 2013 unless they receive a HYT waiver or are advanced to a paygrade with a higher HYT limit.

Starting with this

March’s Navy Wide Advancement Exam, E-3 Sailors who passed, but did not advance, may not continue service beyond the revised HYT limit for their paygrade.

A l s o u n d e r NAVADMIN 198/12, pre-viously approved HYT waiver requests can be cancelled when not ful-filled by the Sailor. If

WASHINGTON - The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Jonathan Greenert, announced his selection of FLTCM (AW/NAC) Michael D. Stevens as the 13th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) at a Pentagon press conference, June 27.

“I was extremely proud to have such a highly and fully qualified group of candi-dates,” said Greenert. “After a thorough and deliberate process I selected FLTCM Stevens to be our Navy’s senior enlisted leader and my advisor for dealing in matters with enlisted person-nel and their families.”

“I’m honored to have been selected as the 13th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy,” said Stevens.

“MCPON Rick West has cer-tainly made a lasting and positive impact on our Navy. I look forward to continuing to provide the leadership and commitment that our Navy and our Sailors both deserve and expect.”

Stevens has served as the fleet master chief at U.S. Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va. since August 2010. His prior command master chief tours include U.S. 2nd Fleet, Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic, Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14, and Naval Air Station Pensacola. A native of Montana, Stevens joined the Navy in 1983. He will relieve MCPON (SS/SW) Rick D. West during a ceremony Sept. 28 at the Washington Navy Yard.

“Throughout my career, and every Sailor’s career, we’ve had chief petty officers take care of and shape us,” said Greenert. “Master Chief

Stevens has the leadership and experience to keep us on course and on speed. I look forward to working closely with him.”

Greenert also praised West who took the helm in December 2008, citing his outstanding leadership and lifetime of dedicated service.

“I’m proud of MCPON West and what he has accom-

plished during his watch. His extraordinary leadership and terrific connection to the fleet has contributed greatly to our warfighting readiness and the readiness of our families,” said Greenert. “His example has been a daily reminder to Sailors to live our ethos and to remember the important role families play in our successes.”

The Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy serves as an advisor to the Chief of Naval Operations and to the Chief of Naval Personnel in matters of importance to enlisted personnel and their families. The MCPON is also an advisor to the many boards focused on enlisted personnel issues; is the enlisted repre-sentative of the Department of the Navy at special events; may be called upon to testify on enlisted personnel issues before Congress; and, main-tains a liaison with enlisted spouse organizations.

CNO Announces new MCPON

FLTCM (AW/NAC) Michael D. Stevens will be the next MCPON.

The Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory is currently recruiting active duty and past submariners, including retirees, to participate in a research study looking at the effects of submarine duty on bone mineral density and body composition, which will be determined by dual x-ray absorptiometry. The total time involved in this study will be about two hours. As part of the study, you will have a free bone and body composition scan and answer questions and receive information about your dietary and exercise habits. A copy of your results will be provided.

If you are interested, or would like more information, contact Lieutenant Colin R. Young at (860) 694-5697 or e-mail him at [email protected].

Volunteers wanted for lab study

Required sexual assault pre-vention and response (SAPR) training training for com-mand leadership triads will be held at Naval Submarine Base New London’s Dealey Center Theater on five dates beginning July 18.

The required training is an element of increased Navy efforts to reduce and elimi-nate this crime within the service.

In fiscal year 2011, some 582 reports of Navy sexual assault were made affecting personnel across all ranks.

To help address and impact this serious issue, the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (DCNO) for Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education is leading a task force to reduce sexual assault and promote a culture of respect and professionalism in our Force, where each sail-or is motivated to intervene and stop these crimes.

An all hands effort is required and the DCNO has developed sexual assault pre-vention and response training for leadership and the fleet to be delivered to all active and reserve personnel.

SAPR Leadership Training (SAPR-L) has been developed for E7 and above.

Qualified Master Mobile Training Teams (MMTT) will deploy globally to pro-vide SAPR-L training to command leadership triads (Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge, Executive Officer/Assistant Officer in Charge, and Command Master Chief/Chief of the Boat/Senior Enlisted Advisor) in fleet con-centration areas and locations with significant Navy pres-ence.

Command leadership tri-ads will then deliver SAPR-L Training to their command leadership (E7 and above) using training products pro-vided during MMTT instruc-tion.

SAPR-L MMTT Training will provide command lead-ership triads the tools to suc-cessfully facilitate

SAPR-L Training through interactive video and facili-tated Face-to-Face (F2F) dis-cussion.

Required sexual assault pre-vention and response training for command leadership tri-ads will be held at SUBASE’s

Dealey Center Theater.Command leadership tri-

ads (CO/XO/CMC) must reg-ister for the SAPR-L training at the following Web site, https://esams.cnic.navy.mil/esams_gen_2/loginesams.aspx. Class size is limited to 50.

If members of the com-mand leadership triad are on temporary duty at other commands or instal-

lations, they may take the training, if available, wherever they are at that time.

Commands with questions or concerns about this training and SUBASE’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program may contact Deb Drucker, SARC at the Fleet and Family Support Center,(860) 694-2791.NEXs Change

USS Montpelier Chief reenlists on the steps of Vermont’s capitolBy MC1(EXW/SW) Jason J.

Two Public Affairs

MONTPELIER, Vt. - A chief petty offi-cer assigned to USS Montpelier (SSN 765) reenlisted in the sub-marine’s namesake city, prior to the capitol city’s Independence Day cel-ebration in Montpelier, July 3.

Chief Electrician’s Mate (SS) David Chechile, who is assigned to USS Montpelier, reenlisted for six years on the steps of the capitol building during the ceremony.

“I really wanted to make it a special day for my wife, our family and our boat’s name-sake,” said Chechile. “I was already planning to reenlist and what better place than right here in the capitol. I think it helps me demonstrate to the city of Montpelier, what an honor it is for

me to serve our great nation.”

Senator Bill Doyle; Representative Warren Kitzmiller, and John Hollar, Montpelier Mayor, also attended the ceremony.

Commander Tom A. Winter, command-ing officer of USS Montpelier; Chief of the Boat, Master Chief Fire Control Technician (SS) Brian K. Apfel; Chechile, and other crew mem-bers visited the name-sake city. During their three-day visit, July 2 - 4, the VFW post 792, the largest post in the state, hosted the crew.

Winter reflected on the long standing rela-tionship the boat has with their host city.

“Every time we return to the boat and share our stories with the rest of the crew there is always a new generation of Montpelier Sailors sprout-ing up who want to make the trip the next year. I think that is a testament to the overwhelming gen-

erosity of the capital for which we are named,” said Winter.

Hollar echoed the com-manding officer’s senti-ments. “We value the honor that you and your

crew bring to our great city of Montpelier,” said Hollar.

Don McCormick, Post 792 commander was glad to have had the opportu-nity to support the men

of the Montpelier. “It is an honor to host

the Montpelier crew,” said McCormick. “We have such a great rela-tionship and I look forward to continuing and building upon that mutual bond.”

Montpelier is the third ship in the U.S. Navy to be named for the capitol city of Vermont. Built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, the “Mighty Monty” was commissioned March 13, 1993.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - Above, the United States Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle (WIX 327) makes its way up the Thames River during the Parade of Sail, July 7. The Eagle led the parade of 20 ships into the port of New London for OpSail Connecticut 2012. Eagle is a training vessel used to train Coast Guard Academy Cadets in basic seamanship during their time at the Academy. Below, the Dock Landing Ship USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) sails past the crowded foot pier in New London as the ship makes its way to state pier, during the OpSail Connecticut 2012 Parade of Sail. The Carter Hall, the largest ship in the Parade of Sail is capable of deploying two Landing Craft Air Cushions (LCAC) from the ships well deck.


NEW LONDON, Conn. – Two onlookers observe the USCG Barque Eagle (WIX 327) and the USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) as the two ships appear over the horizon underway into New London during the Parade of Sail, July 7. Both vessels were the highlight of festivities that commemorated the Bicentennial of the War of 1812.

Navy and OPSAIL CT leave strong wake

By Navy New London Public Affairs

NEW LONDON, Conn. – Operation Sail (OpSail) 2012 Connecticut, the final port of call for the numerous signature events around the coun-try commemorating the U.S. sea services, OpSail 2012, the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, and the Star-Spangled Banner, concluded here Monday, July 9.

As the Navy’s major participant, the 609 ft. long, Navy Dock Landing Ship, USS Carter Hall (LSD 50), slipped its moorings at New London’s State Pier and headed south down the Thames River, it left in its wake tens of thousands of impressed citizens of Connecticut and New England who had been thrilled to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, first-hand, the latest capa-bilities of today’s maritime services.

“OpSail Connecticut pro-vided our Sailors, Marines and units of our Navy’s Surface fleet like Carter Hall, a wonderful oppor-tunity to enjoy an area of our great Nation that loves the Navy and that they may not have oth-erwise experienced,” said Capt. Marc W. Denno, Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) Commanding Officer and Navy lead for OpSail Connecticut. One Carter Hall Sailor would sum up the experience: to stand on the deck and embark on this public event with throngs of people cheering and applauding made him feel like an astronaut.

Niantic BayThe multi-day OpSail

Connecticut celebration began July 6, with many of the 24 ships that would be involved in the next day’s Parade of Sail up the Thames River to New London, anchoring in Niantic Bay.

As Dock Landing Ships support amphibious oper-ations including landings of U.S. Marines and other forces onto hostile shores, Carter Hall and its crew of more than 500 Marines and Sailors kicked-off OpSail Connecticut with an awe-inspiring demon-stration of one of their Navy amphibious landing craft.

A Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) from Carter Hall, made an unprecedented amphibi-ous landing on Niantic’s Hole in the Wall Beach at 4:15 p.m., to thunderous applause from a mass of onlookers.

After landing, the LCAC embarked a small number of OpSail officials and Navy guests to include OpSail Connecticut Chairman John Johnson, for a brief ride.

The LCAC then “stormed” the beach, landing and rolling-off a number of U.S. Marine Corps vehi-cles and personnel includ-ing a few High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) or “Humvees.”

“Being on the LCAC as it stormed the beach was awesome!” exclaimed Jeanette Vatter, wife of SUBASE Command Master Chief Tommy Vatter. “This was defi-nitely a once in the life-time experience.”

Other Carter Hall Sailors and Marines came ashore to the adjacent McCook Park to join a welcome celebration and cook-out for Navy, Coast Guard

and OpSail crews coordi-nated by East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica and many local businesses and restaurants.

“The Niantic affair set the tone for the rest of the weekend. A fabulous event!” said Johnson.

NIANTIC, Conn. – After storming the “Hole in the Wall” Beach at McCook Park on July 6, the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) deployed two United States Marine Corps vehicles and then allowed personnel to tour the LCAC and armored vehicles. The LCAC can deploy a variety of equipment in a hostile area, and when not loaded with cargo the LCAC can deploy 300 Marines into combat.

In addition to USS Carter Hall, four Yard Patrol Craft from the United States Navy Academy represented the Navy.

The public then had a chance to visit Carter Hall, Eagle, and other OpSail ships when they were open for tours Saturday and Sunday. The public was also able to observe a U.S. Coast Guard fly-over with both fixed wing and rotary aircraft during the Parade of Sail on the Thames River on Saturday; and, a Coast Guard Search and Rescue demonstration with a helicopter just off the Fort Trumbull State Park pier in the Thames River on Sunday.

“To see a side of the Navy those of us at SUBASE and Naval Submarine School (SUBSCOL) rarely see was really special,” said Electronics Technician Seaman Stephen Cordova from the Silver Dolphins. “Being a Silver Dolphin has given me the opportunity to see vessels like the Carter Hall, I can only imagine how exciting an experience it was for members of the public who’ve only seen such ships and equipment in movies.”

Saturday evening, Carter Hall hosted a Sunset Parade and Fireworks Observation reception that included performances by Navy Band Northeast and the Naval

Market ‘En Plein Air’ celebrates Connecticut’s harvestOn July 28 from 9 a.m. to 3

p.m., the abundance and excite-ment of a French country mar-ket comes to Connecticut. For the fourteenth year, the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme hosts Market En Plein Air, a place for artisanal bakers, organ-ic farmers, and specialty food producers to show off their spe-cialties. Last year, more than 6,000 people attended this spe-cial event that is part of Old Lyme Midsummer Festival. A chefs’ competition, an artisan craft fair, dog contest, book sign-ings, and hands-on activity area round out the food-focused expe-rience!

Modeled after the outdoor mar-kets found in villages throughout France, Market En Plein Air fea-tures the freshest organic fruits and vegetables, flowers, breads, fine cheeses, herbs, and specialty foods - all of the highest quality and all produced in Connecticut. Twenty-eight specially selected vendors will be on hand with delicious items to sample and take home. Festivalgoers can enjoy a prepared lunch by Gourmet Galley and stroll the Museum’s 11-acre historic site along the banks of the Lieutenant River.

Many vendors from previous years are returning with some of their most popular special-ties, including artisan breads by Howard’s Bread in Chester and Alforno’s in Deep River, farm-stead cheeses by Cato Corner Farm in Colchester; organic veg-etables by White Gate Farm in East Lyme; and fresh roasted cof-fee from Ashlawn Farm in Lyme. Newcomers include Hostas and shade plants by John O’Brien Nursery in West Granby, fruit, vegetables, and eggs from Killian and Bassette Farmstead in South Glastonbury, and Italian baked goods and pasta from Meriano’s Bake Shoppe in Guilford.

The market takes its name from the tradition of painting en plein air, which is French for, “in the open air.” The Florence Griswold Museum is the home of Lyme Art Colony, a group of early 20th century Impressionist artist who came to capture Connecticut’s abundant scenery. These artists took their canvases, paints, and palettes into the pas-tures and down to the shore-line to paint the world firsthand.

Market “En Plein Air” celebrates Connecticut’s artistic heritage as well as its homegrown goodness. Located on the riverfront grounds of the Museum, the market takes place under a series of tents bursting with colorful displays.

Even four-legged friends can participate in the day’s activities with Parading Paws Dog Show hosted by Vista Vocational & Life Skills Center of Westbrook. Does your dog have the best smile, longest tail, biggest paws? Registration is from 9 to 10 a.m. Judging begins at 10:30 a.m. Special categories include Best Trick and Best Costume. Guest Judge will be Jill Abramson, the executive editor of The New York Times and author of “The Puppy Diaries: Raising a Dog Named Scout”. From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Abramson signs her instructive and entertaining chronicle of Scout’s first year.

Next to the Market on the grounds of the Museum is Hands-On/Minds-On, where visitors of all ages enjoy fun, creative proj-ects provided by area cultural organizations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At noon, the Bee and Thistle Inn and Spa presents BEAT Shoreline Chef Competition. Just like on TV, four local chefs are given secret ingredients selected from Market En Plein Air ven-dors. Using those items, they prepare a dish to be judged on taste and presentation. Spectators watch as the chefs prepare their items. The winner will be select-ed at 1:30 p.m. The event takes place at the Florence Griswold Museum on stage by the banks of the Lieutenant River. Competing are Kris Rowe, chef at the Bee & Thistle Inn and Spa, Old Lyme; Dennis Young, chef at the Old Lyme Inn; Debra Corning, chef at the Monkey Farm Restaurant, Old Saybrook; Nick Dion, chef at Jessie’s Restaurant, Old Lyme. Judges are Sheldon Baker, PM Magazine’s Phantom Gourmet; Lee White, food writer and critic the Lyme Times; Amy Barry, journalist and freelance writer for Shoreline Publishing Company and Linda Guica, food writer and food columnist for the Hartford Courant. Linnea Rufo, owner of the Bee & Thistle Inn and Spa will mc the event.

From 1 to 2 p.m., chef, author,

and advocate Emily Brooks dis-cusses local food and the sus-tainable agriculture movements and signs her most recent pub-lications, Connecticut Farmer & Feast and New York City Farmer & Feast.

Entrance to activities is free. Admission to the Museum and riverfront gallery, which fea-tures the special exhibition, On Hudson: Highlights from the Albany Institute of History & Art will be reduced to $5 for

the day. The Florence Griswold Museum is located in Old Lyme’s historic district at 96 Lyme Street. Take exit 70 off I-95. Call (860) 434-5542 or visit www.FlorenceGriswoldMuseum.org for more information.

OLD LYME, Conn. - One of the highlights of Old Lyme Midsummer Festival is the Florence Griswold Museum’s Market En Plein Air. This outdoor market features Connecticut-grown flowers, fruits, vegetables, breads, fine cheeses, herbs and specialty foods in a setting modeled after outdoor markets in French villages.

Submarine School Silver Dolphin Precision Drill Team. Distinguished local visitors to the event not only had an opportunity to learn some War of 1812 Navy history but also to tour Carter Hall and learn about its recent missions.

“To be aboard the USS Carter Hall for the reception and fireworks on Saturday night... was a rare opportu-nity, indeed. The ship was awesome in the true sense of the word,” said Mayor Marian Galbraith of the City of Groton. “The crew members we met could not have been more gracious.”

Community InteractionOn Sunday, while a contingent of

some 60 Carter Hall Sailors ran in New London’s Sailfest 5-K Road Race, 35 mid-shipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy Yard Patrol Craft participating in OpSail Connecticut participated in a communi-ty service project with the New London Homeless Hospitality Center. The mid-shipmen had also donated dozens of boxes of extra food to the Gemma E. Moran United Way - Labor Food Center upon their arrival to New London.

“The Mids were so incredibly posi-tive and pleased to be supporting the community and making a difference,” said SUBASE OpSail Planning Officer Lt. Paul Blodgett. “And the volun-teer coordinators at the Homeless Hospitality Center were astounded that these young people would give

up their Sunday liberty so freely to help others.”

For all their hard work planning and participating in the three day OpSail Connecticut event, Navy and Coast Guard crews were treated to an OpSail wrap-up cook-out, lun-cheon, and barbeque at Groton’s Shennecossett Yacht Club (SYC).

“Kudos … for the great barbeque they had at SYC,” said former Congressman Rob Simmons and OpSail 2012 Connecticut Treasurer. “I was there for two hours talking to Coasties and Sailors, and what a treat that was. They were very appre-ciative of the low key relaxing environ-ment and wonderful hospitality.”

For Blodgett, the real tribute to the whole OpSail 2012 Connecticut event went beyond the impact the Navy made during the celebration to the impact that OpSail and New London made on the Navy.

“All the hard work and effort came into sharp focus when I felt rewarded to hear a Carter Hall Sailor tell me, that in his ten years of going to sea with Navy, this was the best and friendliest port visit he experienced,” said Blodgett.

OpSail 2012 and its commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 was a salute to all Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, who fought gallantly in that conflict, who served in all our nation’s conflicts since then, and who are defend-ing freedom around the world today.



NEW LONDON, Conn. – Navy Yard Patrol Craft (YPs) steam into New London and prepare to be moored up at Customs Pier, July 5, in order to celebrate OpSail 2012 Connecticut and the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. These vessels are used by midshipmen at the Naval Academy as a tool to learn nautical navigation and seamanship.
