a Father’s Day card early and plans on calling him. However, she’s also giving her father a late gift - he’s coming to Enterprise on its Tiger Cruise where family members and friends of Enterprise crew members have a chance to experience life on the aircraft carrier for a few days at the end of the deployment. “My dad is incredibly excited about [the Tiger Cruise], so I think it makes up for not being able to see him on his birthday or Father’s Day,” said Pixley. “I’m really looking forward to seeing his face and my mom’s face when it happens.” Americans have officially celebrated Father’s Day the since 1972, but the holiday dates back to 1905, when Grace Golden Clayton helped organize a Father’s Day event for fathers lost in a mine accident in Monongah, West Va. Two years later, Sonara Dodd organized a Father’s Day in Spokane, Washington, unaware of Clayton’s precedent. Both celebrations were inspired by Anna Jarvis, an activist for the creation of Mother’s Day.

USS ENTERPRISE, At sea – Father’s Day has come to USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and many of its Sailors and Marines are taking a moment during operations in the 5th Fleet area of responsibility to think about dear old dad. This will be the first Father’s Day away from home for many Sailors aboard Enterprise. Over five months into their deployment, many are thinking about what their fathers meant to their naval career. “My dad taught me to be a man and encouraged me to join the Navy and continue a family tradition,” said Personnel Specialist Seaman Richard P. Maltby, a member of Enterprise’s executive department, whose grandfather served. “The only regret I have is the fact that I can’t be with him on Father’s Day.” For some Sailors aboard Enterprise, it will be their first Father’s day as fathers. “I’m saddened at first, because I think of how much I wanted to see her when she was born,” said Personnel Specialist

their special day. “I made sure to send my Dad some cologne. I also plan on calling him if I can,” said Chief Aviation Ordnanceman (AW/SW) Keith Kirton, a member of IM-3 division in Enterprise’s Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department. “My dad and I are really close. I think about him all the time.”

Kirton added that his father will be one of the first people he will see when the ship returns from deployment, as he will be flying to Charlotte, N.C., to see his dad, Raphael, “first thing.” A chance to see their children can be a reward in itself to fathers.

My family is sending me pictures of her all the time, and days like Father’s Day make me think of how happy I’ll be to see her for the first

time.” The advent of telecommunication has changed the terms of deployment for Sailors. What was once a three-week journey from letter to home is now a few second delay between sent and received e-mail. Sailors aboard Enterprise can now reach their loved ones near instantly. However, some Sailors aboard Big ‘E’ also made sure a gift would be waiting for the dads on

Leyte Gulf NewsSHUTTLE

By MC2 Class (SW) Robert Guerra and Seaman Susan C. SchelcherepierreUSS LEYTE GULF, At-sea – A Sailor aboard guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) was medically evacuated to amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4) for emergency surgery June 13.The Leyte Gulf Sailor was transported to Boxer by a helicopter assigned to the “Smoking Aces” of Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 48, where she received an emergency appendectomy within hours of her initial diagnosis. The decision to transport the Sailor was made after examinations aboard Leyte Gulf indicated she was suffering from appendicitis on the evening of June 12.“She came in complaining about a stomach ache,” said Chief Hospital Corpsman Richard Clements, Executive Department’s HM division leading chief petty officer. “After prescribing medication for nausea we asked her to return the following morning if the symptoms persisted or worsened.” The following morning the pain continued and once again she returned for treatment.Corpsman aboard Leyte Gulf conducted preliminary lab tests to rule out other diagnoses. Physical exam findings including direct tenderness to palpation, rebound tenderness and

referred pain suggested likely appendicitis. Clements said that the Sailor exhibited several clinical signs of appendicitis right from the start. “Corpsman began intravenous drips and lab work while arrangements were made to get her to the appropriate facility for care.”After careful consideration of treatment options, Boxer was chosen as the nearest available resource for treatment. At 2 p.m. the helicopter air lifted the Sailor to awaiting medical staff aboard Boxer. That evening, General Surgeon, Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Kang, part of Fleet Surgical Team Three embarked aboard Boxer, performed

laparoscopic surgery using a fiber optic camera and long instruments to successfully remove the infected appendix.“Each ship in theater has medical capabilities that allow it to manage the majority of situations they may face. Boxer, with its large medical contingent and surgical suites, functions as the referral hospital within the region, much like a civilian trauma center accepts transfers from surrounding smaller health facilities,” said Kang. “It’s very gratifying to be able to provide this kind of service, which we are well trained for, but not often able to utilize.”Because of rapid attention and recommendations,

both Leyte Gulf and Boxer medical staff were able to provide life saving treatment. “Communication up and down the ship was flawless,” said Clements. “It took the efforts of everyone, from the medical staff here and aboard Boxer, the guys in Operations hammering out the flight details and the entire crew to make this operation a success.”The patient is currently in recovery and under the supervision of the attending surgeon aboard Boxer. Leyte Gulf is deployed as part of Enterprise Carrier Strike Group (CSG) in support of maritime security operations in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility.

Sailors of the DayOperations Specialist 3rd ClassDrew E. Gowdey- Naples, FL

OS3 Gowdey, a COTOP supervisor and chart petty officer for Enterprise’s Operations Department, joined the Navy three years ago because of the military background of his family and his “love for the ocean.” To Gowdey, the most rewarding aspect of his job is “knowing the crew and ship are safer because of my watch.” Gowdey plans to earn a college degree in oceanography and aspires to become a naval officer in the future. When he returns from deployment, Gowdey plans to spend time with his family and girlfriend and engage in water-recreation activitives.

ATAN (AW) Noble, a plane captain for the “Screwtops” of Early Airborne Warning Squadron (VAW) 123, joined the Navy one year and nine months ago for college benefits, to see the world and “better” himself. To Noble, the most rewarding aspect of his job is “seeing the Hawkeyes launch from the flight deck” and “knowing I played a key role in making it happen.” Noble plans to finish his college degree in electrical engineering and “continue to serve my country, hopefully in the officer ranks.” In his spare time, Noble likes to hang out with friends, play video games, listen to music and work out.
