The chief of naval personnelannounced the Chief Petty Of-ficer Mission, Vision and Guid-ing Principles will form the ba-sis upon which chief, seniorchief and master chief petty of-ficers will be evaluated.

Vice Adm. Mark E. Fergusondirected via NAVADMIN (176/08) June 27 that commandingofficers employ a new E7-E9Evaluation and Counselingrecord (CHIEFEVAL), startingwith the Sept. 15 chief pettyofficer(CPO) and senior chiefpetty officer evaluation cycles.

For the past decade chiefs,senior chiefs and master chiefshad been evaluated on a fitnessreport (FITREP)form identicalto that used by the officer com-munity. The new CHIEFEVALclearly separates the two, incor-porating the guiding principles asthe performance traits.

”The CHIEFEVAL ensuresour chiefs are evaluated basedon the expectations we’ve tra-ditionally had of them. The guid-ing principles reaffirmed thoseexpectations. Incorporatingthem as performance traits wasthe next logical step in a processwe started almost two yearsago,” said Master Chief of theNavy (MCPON) (SW/FMF)Joe R. Campa Jr.

Since their introduction to thefleet in September 2006, theguiding principles have been in-cluded in chief’s mess training,chief selectee training, selectionboard precepts for E7-E9, thecommand master chief instruc-tion and the Senior EnlistedAcademy curriculum.

The guiding principles —deckplate leadership, institutionaland technical expertise, profes-sionalism, loyalty, character, ac-

tive communication and a senseof heritage — replace the previ-ous performance traits. Earliertraits included professional ex-pertise, command or organiza-tional climate/equal opportunity,military bearing/character, team-work, mission accomplishmentand initiative, leadership and tac-tical performance.

”This bold initiative led byMCPON Campa proves againthe adage, chiefs run our Navy,”said Rear Adm. Sonny Masso,commander, Navy PersonnelCommand (NPC).

”As a member of the ward-room, who has personally ben-efited from the leadership of thechief’s mess, I look forward tomaking the most of this oppor-tunity to align our chiefs’ evalswith the guiding principles.”

Masso played an integral rolein the transition from the FITREPto the CHIEFEVAL, as person-nel at NPC have engineered thenew form, which will use Adobeas a platform rather than the pre-vious NAVFIT 98A program.Masso said shifting from onesoftware application to anotherwas not difficult due to the factthat much of the language trans-ferred over verbatim.

”The form itself changedlittle,” said Masso. “In fact, sev-enty-five percent of the languagefrom the FITREP was trans-ferred over to the CHIEFEVAL,only now it complements thenew performance traits.”

Campa said that languageused for the first time in theCHIEFEVAL may technically benew, but the responsibilities andexpectations have been aroundfor 115 years.

”The 25 percent of the formthat’s different is critical,” said

Campa. “It’s there that we for-mally introduce phrases like ‘en-gaged on the deckplate,’ ‘totalloyalty to mission,’ ‘driving mis-sion accomplishment throughthe chiefs’ mess’ and ‘activelyuses the CPO mess as an openforum to act on commandissues.That language may benew to an evaluation, but not toour chiefs. Those are responsi-bilities CPOs have had for morethan a century.”

Campa delivered theCHIEFEVAL to NPC in March.Since then testing has been on-going, and changes to the formwere the norm as personnel inMillington worked with Adoberepresentatives to ensure the newplatform was even more user-friendly than the FITREP form.

Once the CHIEFEVAL wasdeemed ready for fleet testing,it was sent to command masterchiefs aboard every type ofNavy vessel and to commandsin every theater. Their feedbackwas forwarded to NPC to workout user-discovered issues.

”Any problems identifiedthrough fleet testing are lookedat, and we’re determining

whether they need to be ad-dressed now or down the line,”said Jim Price, Branch HeadPERS 311 and functional ownerof the FITREP and evaluationprocesses. “It’s a work inprogress, but that doesn’t meanit’s not a good product now. Itmost definitely is, and the feed-back reflects that.”

The CHIEFEVAL will be readyfor download from the NPCWeb site, www.npc.navy.mil,and for use fleet-wide early thismonth. Training within the CPOcommunity has been ongoing forseveral months, and Campastressed that it must continue upto and after Sept. 15.

”Nothing is more important thanensuring every chief and everycommanding officer across ourNavy is fully up to speed on theCHIEFEVAL. We can’t leave any-one behind in terms of how to usethe form and what’s expected ofour mess,” said Campa.

Personnel downloading theform will also have access to a userreference guide, which will givestep-by-step instructions. CFormore information, call (901) 874-3313/4881/DSN 882.

The political relationship between theUnited States government and the Cubangovernment for the last 50 years has beenmarked by tension and confrontation.

On June 19 this tension was set asidefor a cooperative field exercise along theperimeter of the Naval StationGuantanamo Bay (NAVSTA GTMO).

The exercise was conducted to set upprocedures in the event of a natural di-saster along the fence line.

“It allows us to interact with our neigh-bors”, said Cmdr. Michael Wray, directorof dental services, U.S. Naval Hospital(USNH GTMO.) “[We] not only developan understanding of them culturally, butit allows for more efficient interoperabilityin the event of some mutual catastrophe.”

USNH GTMO, Marine Corps SecurityForce Company, NAVSTA INTEL, BaseOperations, NAVSTA Security, Safety andGuantanamo Fire Department personnelfrom civilian, military and federal govern-ment backgrounds took part in the exer-cise that lasted about four hours.

The exercise started when black smokebegan to billow from an area of grassyfields on the Cuban side. Soon after,NAVSTA GTMO Fire and Rescue Depart-ment personnel were on scene and stoodby as a Mi-17 helicopter (Russian de-signed) flew over and dropped thousandsof gallons of water on the fire. Once thefire on the Cuban side was extinguished,NAVSTA GTMO officials started a fire onthe American side of the fence, which was

also put out by the Mi-17 helicopter.The chaos that was taking place was not

real this time, but due to dry conditions inGTMO and the chance for lightning to starta fire along the ordnance riddled fence line,this could happen for real any day. Precau-tions must be taken and a contingency planhas to be in place for a cooperative and jointeffort by both sides to minimize future ca-sualties or destruction. Communicationsfrom U.S. personnel were being relayedfrom an established command post at thebase of a Marine Observation Tower tothe firefighters on scene.

NAVSTA revamps command PT program

Naval Station (NAVSTA)Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) revamped itsPhysical Training (PT) program start-ing with the 2008 Physical Fitness As-sessment (PFA) cycle.

NAVSTA Command Fitness Leader(CFL) Chief Master at Arms (NAC)Robert McGill introduced several newcomponents to the tri-weekly workoutschedule.

The changes were implemented tomeet the CNO’s objective of optimumphysical fitness and to energize Sailorsfor the day’s work.

“New suggestions from the CFLschool I attended in February 2008 in-spired me to adjust the program,” saidMcGill. “Running everyday gets boring,plus I want Sailors to want to go to PTbecause they want to and not just be-

cause it's mandatory.”Each week, Sailors participate in cal-

isthenics, cardiovascular activities, cir-cuit training and aerobics.

Group sessions like Pilates, step aero-bics and cardio kickboxing test eachparticipant’s physical agility, giving themmore energy throughout the day.

NAVSTA officials support and en-courage the new changes to the PT regi-men.

“When I experienced the new circuit[training] routine for the first time, Ithought it was great,” said NAVSTAGTMO Commanding Officer Capt. MarkLeary. “I haven’t done that [circuittraining] since my Aviation Officer Can-didate School days back in ’82.”

McGill, who attended CFL school inFebruary of this year, said the program

needed a boost to keep Sailors interestedand hopes the new plan will help morepeople stay within Navy PT standards.

“My goal for the NAVSTA PT pro-gram is to have less then 10 Sailors inthe Fitness Enhancement Program dueto PFA failures and to increase the cur-rent outstanding performers number by15 percent,” said McGill.

The command has reacted to the pro-gram in a positive way, viewing it as amorale boost.

“I love the coordination of the com-mand at PT. It shows the dedicationfrom E-1 Sailors up the chain of com-mand,” said Quartermaster 3rd ClassSchatarhee Carr, NAVSTA Port Ser-vices. “ It drives me to do better whenmy superiors are out encouraging ev-eryone.”

The Naval Hospital Cuzco Well Cemeteryis a history lesson all its own. Names anddates found there are pieces of a puzzle thatgets harder and harder to put together as theyears pass.

One such grave marker among the hundredsof markers belongs to a Captain Henry PeterSmith, Master of SS Delmundo, an AmericanMerchant Marine Ship, which sank Aug. 13,1942.

Delmundo was torpedoed by a German U-600 and sank in the Windward Passage, nearGuantanamo Bay, Cuba. Delmundo was theflagship of convoy TAW 12 (Trinidad-Aruba-Key West).

She was carrying general cargo from BuenosAires, Argentina, to New York. While cruisingthe Windward Passage, eighteen miles south ofCape Maisi, Cuba, she was torpedoed by a Ger-man submarine. The engine room was destroyed,the boilers exploded, and the ship sank by itsstern in five minutes.

Among those who lost their lives was theDelmundo’s Master, Capt. Henry Peter “Harry”

Smith. Newspaper accounts of the day saythat he was injured, “when he rushed to therescue of a passenger, who had been struck byfalling debris after a torpedo from an enemysubmarine crashed into the ship."

He was taken to the Naval HospitalGuantanamo Bay where he died two days laterfrom his injuries sustained in the attack. Hewas buried at the Naval Hospital Cuzco WellCemetery.

A few days before Memorial Day 2008,Capt. Smith’s great-niece, Tanya Anna Fullerof Standardsville, Va., contacted Naval Sta-tion personnel asking to receive pictures ofher great uncle's final resting place. She re-marked that Capt. Smith was from Louisi-ana and that she probably would never get achance to visit GTMO and to see the placewhere her great uncle will forever be buried.

“I wish I had known Harry, he died be-fore I was born," said Fuller. "However, Ihave heard only good things spoken of him.He was born in 1890 in County Wicklow,Ireland, and married into our family. (Hiswife was the sister of my maternal grand-mother). He had a reputation of being gener-ous toward his wife’s people, especially hernephews. He and his wife had no children.They lived in New Orleans, at the time of hisdeath. My mother describes him as having asense of humor and being very easy to getalong with,” said Fuller.

Other crew members killed onboard wereFred Clifton, Oiler, Roderick G. Pecot, Oiler,Charles A. Piedra, Steward and Lee J. Rome,Second Assistant Engineer.

People aren’t the onlyones who make use ofGuantanamo Bay beaches.Other creatures make thebeaches part of their ritualhabitats, including seaturtles. According to ex-perts, sea turtles can nestalmost any time of the yearand anywhere along thebeach.

Recently, a large turtlewas spotted at WindmillBeach and was later iden-tified by local environ-mental experts as aGreen Turtle.

Green turtles can reach3.5 - 4 ft. in length andweigh between 300 - 400pounds. They mainly staynear the coastline andaround islands and live inbays and protectedshores, especially in areaswith sea grass beds. Theynest at intervals of two,three, or more years, withwide year-to-year fluc-tuations in numbers ofnesting females. Turtlesnest between three to fivetimes per season. Theylay an average of 115 eggsin each nest, with theeggs incubating for about60 days.

Only female turtlesnest, and that occursmost often at night. Thefemale crawls out of theocean, pausing fre-quently as she carefullyscopes out her spot.Sometimes, for un-known reasons, she willdecide not to nest. Thisis a “false crawl,” and it

The Green Turtle thatcame ashore on Windmillbeach laid her eggs nearthe concession cabana.

Whenever a femaleturtle is laying their eggs,residents are reminded toremain at a distance.Coming too close mayspook the turtles andthey will not lay theireggs, or may leave thenest before laying all theireggs. When spooked,they will return to thewater and deposit theireggs in the sea becausethe urge to lay the eggsis too great.

Green Turtles arelisted as endangered (indanger of extinctionwithin the foreseeablefuture) under the U.S.

Congratulations to Stephen and PaigeBohan on the birth of their baby boy.

Thomas Alexander Bohan.Born June 23, 2008.

Weight 7 lb., 1 oz., 21 inches.

The Guantanamo Bay Gazettewould like to announce the birth

of your baby!

Aston Henry Wright Sr., age 86, a long timeresident of GTMO, passed away May 30,2008 in Orlando, Fla. Born in Santiago de Cuba,Oriente, Wright was the son of John Henryand Florence Lenora Broomfield Wright andwas second of six children.

In the early 1940’s, he was employed as aclerk for the Naval Supply department here inGuantanamo Bay. He commuted to work dailyuntil moving to GTMO in 1965 with his fam-ily. Aston continued to work at the Naval Sup-ply department and retired as supply supervi-sor in 1997 after fifty plus years of service.

He was very active in the Guantanamo Baycommunity, having participated in several or-ganizations, and was known for his work withthe Cuban and Jamaican communities com-mittee. Aston was a lifetime member of theFree Masons and very active with the Carib-bean Naval Lodge here in GTMO where heheld several titles including Past Master andPast District Deputy Grand Master. Mr. Wrightwas also an active member of ToastMastersInternational, receiving many awards for hispublic speaking.

Known for his vast collection of tools, Astonloved doing handiwork. He enjoyed learningnew concepts and working with anyone will-ing to learn new skills and ideas. He also en-joyed discussing current events with familyand friends.

A loving husband and father, Mr. Wright issurvived by his wife of 54 years, Vines AdelaWright, now residing in Orlando, Fla., daugh-ters, Addys Lorna Wright-Gobert, MiriamMargarita Wright of Orlando, Fla., FlorenciaBeatriz Wright of Brandon, FL and son, AstonHenry Wright, Jr. (Tony) of Orlando, Fla.; sis-ters Linda, Beryl, Nora and brother John.

Long-time residentpasses awayDrill, from page 3

suggests many reasons that this is goodpractice for both sides. “It shows thatwe can work together if the need arisesduring a disaster even though there aredifferences between the U.S. and Cuba.It gives firefighters on both sides a bet-ter understanding of how we would op-erate along the fence line if requested.”

Soon after the fires were extinguished,screams, pleas for help and cries formedics echoed from an old Cuban ownedbank, located just inside of the North-east Gate, interspersed with the shoutedcommands of Cuban Frontier Brigademembers and other first responders.The "victims" were military personnelacting as if they were hurt and theirwounds were not genuine, but the train-ing that took place and cooperation be-tween the two political rivals ran assmoothly as if if they had done this on amonthly basis.

When medical personnel from theUSNH GTMO arrived on scene, theyfound burns, fractures and other inju-ries that needed immediate treatment.They quickly created a Joint MedicalPost on the Cuban side of the Northeastgate and provided first aid care to thewounded personnel. Cmdr. Wray, whowas the acting triage officer, assumed

responsibility at the scene and workedhard with several corpsmen, NavyNurse Corps officers, along withfirefighters to treat and care for the simu-lated wounded during the exercise. Healso found ways to communicate withCuban first responders as well.

“My responsibility was to sort the ca-sualties and organize the preparation totransport them back to the hospital. It’sthe old military axiom, train how youintend to fight, or in this case, how youintend to respond to a disaster. I do notspeak Spanish but we had bilinguallytagged victims where they could com-municate the injuries that they sustainedand medical personnel who could com-municate methods of treatment of inju-ries and vital signs, etc," said Wray.

Moments after the exercise wrappedup, USNH GTMO and Cuban FrontierBrigade medical personnel gathered to-gether and provided each other with a casepresentation that explained medical pro-cedures. U.S. officials have said the ex-ercise, that’s now in its third year, underthe command of NAVSTA CommandingOfficer Capt. Mark Leary, involving medi-cal, fire and Marine Corps personnel, isdesigned to improve U.S. and Cubanforces emergency disaster capabilities.
