Commander, Submarine
Group Two hosted
Congressman Mi ke
McIntyre (D-N.C.), for
a two-day familiariza-
tion tour of submarine
operations and shipyard
in Groton, Nov. 20-21.
McI nt yre repre-
sents North Carolinas
7th District and is the
ranking member of the

Seapower and Projection
Forces. During his
visit he toured Naval
Submarine Base New

operations in Groton
and Quonset Point.
C o n g r e s s m a n
McIntyres tour of the
Submarine Capital of
the World is an oppor-
tunity to show from a
warfighters perspective
how our undersea force
provides assured access,
said Rear Admiral
Ri ck Breckenri dge,
Commander, Submarine
Group Two. This under-
sea assured access pro-
vided by our advanced
capability SSNs deliv-
ers a unique asymmet-
ric military influence in
areas where other forces
may be denied.
Following briefings
at General Dynamics
Electric Boat, McIntyre
commented on the key
role undersea forces will
play in the future.
The Nation will
become increasingly
reliant upon undersea
forces as well as special
forces to deter aggres-
sion, promote regional
stability and safeguard
global security, said
McIntyre. Preserving
our industrial capacity
to build the worlds most
advanced submarines is
a strategic imperative.
Dur i ng t he
Congressmans tour of the
U.S. Coast Guard Academy,
he met with Rear Adm.
Sandra Stosz, superinten-
dent of the Academy, who

tionship fostered between

Children from mili-
tary families who attend
Dr. Charles G. Barnum
Elementary School here
are getting their early edu-
cation in a school that first
lady Michelle Obama has
singled out for its culture
of excellence.
Although its not a
Defense Department
school, Charles Barnum
is the nearest elementary
school to Naval Submarine
Base New London, and a
large majority of its stu-
dents are military chil-
dren.
About 90 percent of the
schools 400 pre-school
to Grade 5 students are
from military families,
Principal Valerie Nelson
said.
Before base hous-
ing was privatized a few
years ago, Nelson said,
the school had been in
the military housing area
since it was built in 1965,
added Nelson.
Its not totally military
housing now, but before
it was privatized it was
all military housing, she
added. The only children
who are not military are
a few that live in those
houses, but we also have
some integrated special
education programs where
students come from all
over the district.
The students of Charles
Barnum recently scored
100 percent proficiency
in math from third to
fifth grade for the second
straight year.
I think the children
are excited when they
are recognized for their
achievements, said
Catherine Hanson, a com-
munity coordinator with
the school. They may not
remember it on a day-to-
day to basis, but when
they are reminded of their
achievements, they are
proud of themselves.
The schools academic
performance earned spe-
cific praise in a letter from
the first lady last year.
[The students] cer-
tainly enjoyed hearing
from the White House,
Hanson said. When Mrs.
Nelson read the letter to

During the holiday season,
a Commissary Gift Card can
be an easy option for any-
one to extend the gift of
groceries to service mem-
bers and their families, said
the director of the Defense
Commissary Agency.
Whether its mom and
dad wanting to help out
with a holiday dinner for
their son or daughter sta-
tioned overseas or a mili-
tary unit assisting a junior
enlisted family struggling
financially, the Commissary
Gift Card is a quick way to
extend the benefit during
the holidays, said Joseph
H. Jeu. You dont have to
be an authorized shopper
to give this gift.
Unveiled this summer,
the Commissary Gift Card
comes in denominations of
$25 and $50. Anyone can
purchase a card through
the DeCA website, http://
www.commissaries.com, or
in a commissary. However,
only authorized commis-
sary customers can use it in
a commissary.
The gift cards can be
used for in-store purchas-
es, as long as they have
a balance. They cannot
be redeemed for cash,
and there is no monetary
change for unused portions
of the card. However, cus-
tomers can always use gift
cards with other forms of
payment at the register.
These cards are perfect
for folks who want to give
them as gifts to their mili-
tary family and friends or
for charitable organizations
and our industry partners
to use as donations, said
Command Sgt. Maj. John
M. Gaines Jr., senior enlist-
ed advisor to the DeCA
director.
Here are some quick
facts about the Commissary
Gift Card:
The cards are available at
all commissaries worldwide
on a rack at full service,
front-end registers as well
as through the DeCA web-
site, http://www.commis-
saries.com.
The cards expire five
years from the date of pur-
chase.
Online orders incur a
handling fee. These fees
are not assessed to in-store
orders.
There is no limit to
the number of gift cards
that a purchaser can buy.
However, DeCA officials
recommend organizations
and activities consider pur-
chasing online if they need
$500 or more in gift cards.
Commissary Gift Cards
can be shipped anywhere
in the United States. Outside
the United States, gift cards
can be shipped to APO,
FPO or DPO addresses.
For customer service
questions, call the toll-
free phone number,
(877) 988-4438, which
also allows the user to
check the card balance.
The Commissary Gift
Card replaced the DeCA
gift voucher. However,
customers who have
unused gift vouchers
will be able to redeem
them through Aug. 31,
2016.
As a soldier, I can
testify that the commis-
sary benefit is worth the
trip in allowing us to
stretch our paychecks,
Gaines said. Receiving
these gift cards makes
the holidays even more
festive.
Commissary gift cards help extend holiday cheer
Naval Academy Midshipmen
sample submarine training
By William Kenny
GROTON, Conn. - For
twenty members of the
United States Naval
Academy, the prelude
to their Thanksgiving
holiday was an oppor-
tunity to sample sub-
marine training a little
closer than just in the
classroom.
The midshipmen and
their instructors, mem-
bers of The Dolphin
Club, traveled to Naval
Submarine Base, New
London, to get up close
and personal with the
submarine force and if
that meant becoming
a member of the dam-
age control party, for
Midshipmen Jamie Vales,
the wetter the better.
The cl assr oom
instruction was excel-
lent, said Vales, and
we were well prepared
for the situations we
would face in the train-
er. It was a lot more
challenging once we
were in the trainer try-
ing to repair all the
leaks than practicing in
the classroom. But I felt
good about my perfor-
mance and think we did
well as a team.
The Damage Control
trainer is a replica of a
submarine engine room
with pre-designed leaks
and other material fail-
ures the instructional
staff can program to
challenge the mechani-
cal repair abilities as
well as the communica-
tions skills of enlisted
and officer students in
a high stress, non-con-
frontational learning
environment.

Duplicating Navy CAC
cards authorized at
medical facilities
Commander, Navy
Installations Command
issued an announcement
reminding all personnel
that the photocopying
of military identification
cards and common access
cards (CAC) is strictly pro-
hibited, Nov. 1.
Although commer-
cial establishments may
request to see military/
government identification,
they may not photocopy
or duplicate it in any way.
Many military personnel
and commercial estab-
lishments are unaware of
the prohibition and the
reasons it exists, which
results in this being a fair-
ly common practice.
The only exception to
this policy, covered in
DOD Instruction 1000.13,
Section 6.1.7, is that civil-
ian and military medical
providers are authorized
to photocopy military ID
as proof of insurance for
the purposes of providing
medical care to DoD ben-
eficiaries.

Connecticut congressmen come to call
on home of sub force training excellence
By William Kenny
GROTON, Conn.
- Congressman Joe
Court ney (CT- 2nd
District) visited Naval
Submarine Schools
Submari ne Escape
Trainer on the day the
facility was dedicated
a little more than two
years ago. Hes been try-
ing to find the time to
come visit again ever
since.
Tuesday morning,
Courtney did, and he
invited his colleague,
Congressman Chri s
Murphy (CT-5th District)
to accompany him.
Congressman Courtney,
as senior member of the
House Armed Services
Committee, has a keen
interest in nation-
al defense and with
Submarine Base in the
middle of his district,
possesses a natural and
nautical affinity as well.
As Courtney noted at
the facilitys dedication,
(the) escape trainer not
only teaches submari-
ners how to escape a
submarine in the event
of the unexpected, but
allows them to build
up the confidence they
need by actually allow-
ing them to do it in
a realistic - and safe
- environment. We all
know the significance of
this cannot be overstat-
ed experiencing this
kind of training in real-
istic scenarios can make
the difference, literally,
between life and death
in an emergency.
And while strap hang-
ing in the Virginia Ship
Control Operati ons
Tr ai ner , VSCOT,
Courtney and Murphy
held on tight as Machinist
Mate Chief Petty Officer
(Submari nes) Scott
Freyer placed the simu-
lator in an emergency
blow, used as a resort of
last means when a sub-
marine needs to surface
immediately because
of a casualty or other
exigent circumstance.
Both guests were white-
knuckled from the rapid
ascent to the top but
deeply appreciative of
the skills the trainer
builds.
Naval Submari ne
School commanding
officer, Captain David
A. Roberts, hosting the
duo, welcomed the break
in the work routine his
visitors provided. It
was terrific, Roberts
offered, to have them
see first-hand how our
instructors train a fleet
that must always be
ready for any mission,
anywhere at any time.
And Roberts contin-
ued, (I)ts another of
our missions, to keep
our elected leadership be
they in the state capital
or at the Capitol Dome,
informed about the
skills training offered at
facilities such as ours,
which build and add
value to the submarine
force and to our national
defense.

that security. He also
met with a North Carolina
Cadet, received a demon-
stration on navigation and
spoke briefly with govern-
ment affairs students.
We are thrilled to
host Rep. McIntyre and
delighted with his interest
in the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy, said Stosz. As
someone who is commit-
ted to our Nations ser-
vicemen and women, he
understands the issues we
face today and the impor-
tance of meeting the chal-
lenges we will likely face
tomorrow. This is also a
great opportunity to high-
light the strong maritime
security partnership we
have forged with our Navy
partners across the river.
During their tour
of Quonset Point,
Congressman Jim
Langevin, represent-
ing Rhode Islands 2nd
District joined the group
and discussed recent capi-
tal investments to support
the increased construction
rate of two Virginia-class
submarines per year.

ognized that it was from
Mrs. Obama.
As first lady, I have
no greater joy than learn-
ing about the remark-
able students across our
country that are working
hard in school, dreaming
big dreams, and improv-
ing their communities,
Obama wrote. Every
American, no matter what
age, has a special role to
play in leading us to a bet-
ter tomorrow, and I hope
you continue to put your
best effort into everything
you do.
The schools success
stems from high standards
and teamwork, Nelson
said.
I think most of it is
really high expectations,
good instruction and col-
laboration, she said. We
have a very strong collab-
oration team with special-
ists and regular classroom
teachers.
Another factor that high-
lights the schools accom-
plishment in back-to-back
years is the turnover of the
student body thats inher-
ent in military life.
A lot of the children
that took the test arent
back this year, Nelson
said before citing a recent
study. [We had] 48 per-
cent return of students [in]
Grades 3 through 5. Were
really proud of our achieve-
ments, and it was kind of
exciting. The teachers are
really proud, and the kids
are very proud of what
they did.

SUBVETS Thanksgiving Tradition
Bringing a little taste of home to the Navy community
GROTON, Conn. Above, volunteers from SUBVETS prepare turkey that has just come out of the fryer for attendees at
SUBVETS annual Thanksgiving Day dinner, Nov. 24.

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg and
MCSA Gabriel Bevan
GROTON, Conn. - U.S. Groton
Submarine Veterans provided nearly
1,000 meals complete with turkey,
stuffing and all of the associated
fixings to Sailors and local police
standing the watch, Nov. 24.
For the past four months local
military leaders, members of U.S.
Groton SUBVETS and community
leaders have met to plan this annual
Thanksgiving meal.
This is a community-wide effort
that is coordinated by SUBVETS
Groton Base. It involves a tremen-
dous amount of donations, and sup-
port from our membership, active-
duty Sailors, local merchants, busi-
ness and people in the community
to plan, coordinate, and execute this
program, said John Carcioppolo,
Groton SUBVETS base commander.
Carcioppolo said with help from
the Naval Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) galley and stu-
dents from Naval Submarine School
the SUBVETS mashed about 500
pounds of potatoes and squash;
prepared enough stuffing for 1,000
people, and prepared at least 175
turkeys to feed everyone.
The overall support from every-
one has been outstanding. The bot-
tom line is that its about taking care
of policemen, Sailors, their families
and submarine veterans who need
our help to make Thanksgiving
a meaningful family holiday.
The Sailors are embraced by the
SUBVETS family and I ensure each
Sailor who comes through the doors
that they will leave well fed, and
with no less than six grandmoth-
ers, Carcioppolo said.
Any food that is remaining after
the dinner is over with is donated to
the New London area food bank,
said Dee Carcioppolo, wife of John
Carcioppolo.
SUBVETS members and their vol-
unteers delivered meals on wheels to
the following police and fire depart-
ments in the area this Thanksgiving:
Groton, Groton Long Point, Groton
City, Ledyard, Montville, Troop E,
Waterford, East Lyme, Old Lyme
and Electric Boat Fire Department.
The volunteers also delivered meals

GROTON, Conn. Attendees wait to sit down for dinner at SUBVETS Thanksgiving Day dinner, Nov. 24.
GROTON, Conn. Both Sailors attending Basic Enlisted Submarine School and those stationed on SUBASE wait patiently to be served their food.
The overall support from everyone has been outstanding. The
bottom line is that its about taking care of policemen, Sailors,
their families and submarine veterans who need our help to
make Thanksgiving a meaningful family holiday. The Sailors are
embraced by the SUBVETS family and I ensure each Sailor who
comes through the doors that they will leave well fed, and with no
less than six grandmothers.
John Carcioppolo, Groton SUBVETS base commander
GROTON, Conn. A
table was set for POW
and MIA service mem-
bers at the SUBVETS
Thanksgiving dinner.
The table was set
up as a reminder of
those who are not
able to be with their
families to enjoy the
holiday season.
Saving a place at our table and in our hearts
SW) James Pearson, of Owensboro,
Ky., serves as the volunteer coordina-
tor for the Virginia-class submarine
PCU Mississippi. Pearson said this
year marks the second year for the
crew members to assist with the
annual Thanksgiving dinner.
As the PCU Mississippi coordina-
tor for this event, its my responsibil-
ity to ensure that all active-duty mili-
tary and Electric Boat employees on
watch receive a Thanksgiving meal,
said Pearson.
In addition to organizing meals, he
also helped prepare the traditional
meal at the SUBVETS clubhouse.
Culinary Specialist Second
Class Steven Clark spent his first
Thanksgiving holiday stationed here
at SUBASE at the SUBVETS club-
house. Clark said that it was a good
gesture for SUBVETS to reach out to
Sailors and other people in the com-
munity during the holiday season.
I am really looking forward to the
food that will be served here today,
said Steven. I think that it is great for
SUBVETS to extend a hand to active
duty Sailors on Thanksgiving.

Mystic Ballet celebrates
holiday season with
A Mystic Nutcracker
Whether starting a new
tradition or continuing
a long-standing one, A
Mystic Nutcracker is a
magical, memory making
experience for all ages,
Tchaikovskys holiday
masterpiece sparkles with
original choreography cre-
ated by the international
artists of Mystic Ballet.
This version follows the
enchanting adventures of
Clara, through two acts
and four scenes, with a
time travel twist. In cen-
tral park at the turn of
the century Clara receives
a Nutcracker as a gift on
Christmas Eve, encounters
a mysterious aristocrat,
and meets the boy of her
dreams, before embark-
ing on a wondrous jour-
ney through the frost and
snow, to a Land of Sweets.
When Santas Workshop
proves too chaotic for her
taste, she is transported to
the Kingdom of Crystals,
where Clara must rescue
her Prince from the spell
of the Rat King. A Mystic
Nutcracker is the perfect
way for families to ring in
the holiday season.
A network of commis-
sioned choreographers,
set, and costume design-
ers, has created a jewel
for the Dance Me a Story

used in ballet that dont
progress the story.

cial effects and an interac-
tive set that dancers dive
into, roll out of, dance
on, and disappear under.
Stunning and whimsical
costumes accentuate the
characters classical and

Sailors encouraged to conserve energy,
share energy-saving tips online
By Andrea Lamartin
Chief of Naval Operations Energy
and Environmental Readiness
Division
WASHINGTON - The
director of the Chief of
Naval Operations Energy &
Environmental Readiness
Division released a video
podcast Nov. 23 for the
2011 holiday season.
In the podcast, Rear
Admiral Phil Cullom
reminds viewers that
while decorative lighting
is an enjoyable part of
celebrating the holidays,
it presents two avoidable
factors that can degrade
Navy readiness: the energy
intensity of outdated light-
ing and safety issues that
can result from these sys-
tems.
Cullom presents chal-
lenges in the categories
of lighting, recycling, and
safety. He recommends
upgrading to energy effi-
cient holiday lights by
using solar lighting to dec-
orate outdoors, employing
lighting timers to reduce
holiday lighting energy
consumption, and using
recycled materials to wrap
gifts. Year round, he sug-
gests turning off comput-
ers at the end of the work
day to conserve energy.
From a safety standpoint,
he encourages personnel
to exercise caution with
space heaters and avoid
overloading electrical cir-
cuits.
Cullom invites Sailors
and civilians to post holi-
day energy-saving and safe-
ty tips from their ships and
bases on the Navys Task
Force Energy Facebook
page, http://www.face-
book.com/NavalEnergy.
This presents a great oppor-
tunity for Navy personnel
to share their knowledge
and hands-on experience
to improve readiness, con-
serve energy, and safely
celebrate in the holiday
spirit.

sage can be viewed at http://
