No doubt we all have expe-rienced the agony and ecstasyof personal prayer.

Committing more time topersonal prayer is one of myNewYear’s resolutions.A spiri-tual mentor of mine once ad-

vocated;“pray as you can, not as you should.” Seeingthat we are in the beginning throes of a New Year,I apply the same wisdom to the “shoulds” of resolu-tions.

The words attributed to John Welsey and his broth-er Charles come to mind:“Do all the good you can,Byall the means you can, In all the ways you can, In allplaces you can,At all times you can,To all the peopleyou can,As long as ever you can.”

To paraphrase, in the busyness of life don’t“should”on yourself, especially when it comes to praying.When it comes to personal prayer, it is good to re-member the words of Christian author Philip Yancey,who points out in his book, titled “Prayer Does ItMake Any Difference?” that“Prayer is a privilege notduty.” And most often, the way I experience such aprivilege may not be the manner in which I find itwaiting for me the very next day.

As prayer changes us, so too, does our way of pray-ing adjust to our daily lives. In this spirit, may Godbless you beyond all the “shoulds” of a New Year inmeeting the sacred as best you can through personalprayer.

USS ENTERPRISE,At sea (NNS) — USS Enterprise (CVN65) departed her homeport of Norfolk, Jan. 11 to partici-pate in a Composite Unit Training Exercise (COMPTUEX)and Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX).

The early morning departure was the next to last depar-ture from Naval Station Norfolk for the 50-year-old carrier.Enterprise is scheduled to enter deactivation after com-pleting its 22nd and final deployment later this year.

COMPTUEX is the intermediate phase of the EnterpriseCarrier Strike Group’s (CSG) Inter-Deployment TrainingCycle (IDTC), designed to hone warfare skills throughoutthe strike group while maintaining unit proficiency.

“It’s the final exercise to ensure Enterprise is combatready,” said Capt. William C. Hamilton Jr, Enterprise com-manding officer.“We’re looking forward to working withthe full strike group conducting combat exercises acrossthe full spectrum of battle spaces.”

COMPTUEX is designed to bring every part of a strikegroup together to work effectively and efficiently as onecohesive unit.

Hamilton says the exercise will require a total team ef-

fort from Enterprise, the embarked air wing and the morethan 4,500 Sailors and Marines involved. Every depart-ment, division and work center, and every Sailor and Ma-rine aboard Enterprise, from the engineering plants up tothe flight deck, will play a vital role in the exercise.

The JTFEX will test the ship’s ability,as well as that of itsstrike group,to operate in a complex,hostile environmentwith other U.S. and coalition forces.

“By the end of COMPTUEX and JTFEX, we will have acombat-ready strike group that will be ready to executethe Navy’s mission anywhere in the world,”said Rear Adm.Walter E. Carter Jr., commander, Enterprise CSG.“Our goalis to ensure we are integrated as a team and to exceed ourrequirements for our combat operational efficiency.”

The Enterprise Carrier Strike Group includes USS Enter-prise (CVN 65), Carrier Air Wing 1, Destroyer Squadron 2,guided-missile cruiser USS Vicksburg (CG 69), guided-mis-sile destroyers USS Porter (DDG 78),USS James E.Williams(DDG 95) and USS Nitze (DDG 94).

NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) — The Naval SafetyCenter reminds Sailors to remain vigilant asthey return to work after a long holiday sea-son when many commands were on reducedwork schedules.

Time to recharge the batteries is great forSailors,but it is important to be ready to worknow that 2012 is in full swing.

Many commands hold safety briefs, dubbed“Back in the Saddle,” in January to reinforcethis idea. Derek Nelson, author of the NavalSafety Center’s (NAVSAFECEN) popular Fri-day Funnies Summary of Mishaps said these

safety briefs are really intended to combatcomplacency.

“The problem with complacency is that itcan strike almost anytime and you don’t evenrealize it,”he said.“It feels comfortable.”

Nelson said he reads mishap reports everyday to find material for his weekly Friday Fun-nies message, and a large majority of them in-volve complacency.

Fortunately, most of these mishaps are mi-nor, which gives him license to poke fun atthem. However, others wind up in his quar-terly “Not so Funnies” message, which details

serious mishaps that lead to death or severeinjury — mishaps that are no laughing matter.

“Sometimes complacency is not just embar-rassing, it’s fatal,”he said.

Nelson said the biggest examples of theseare firearms mishaps.

“Almost always the mishap reports say thevictims were highly experienced with weap-ons,but somehow they still managed to shootthemselves or someone else.”

The complacency in these mishaps usually

tendance in August 2009 and reported toNewport, R.I. in November 2009. Unfor-tunately, due to medical circumstances,she was unable to complete OCS at thattime;however,she has never lost focus ofher commission.

“My ultimate goal is to become a na-val officer in a customer service-orienteddesignator, specifically Supply Corps oraviation maintenance duty officer,” saidGarcia of her career goals.

When Garcia joined the Navy inAugust2003, her initial intentions were to payfor college but has since decided to makethe Navy a career. She joined undesignat-ed and worked as an aviation boatswain’smate while on board USS Harry S. Tru-man (CVN 75).

“It wasn’t for me. I love aviation andcustomer service,”she says of her reasonsfor later striking AZ.

MILLINGTON,Tenn. (NNS) — Navy Alco-hol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP)office has launched a new substance abuseprevention campaign designed to educateSailors of the negative impact substanceabuse can have on a Sailor’s family, ship-mates and career,officials said Jan.4.

“Substance abuse puts lives and mis-sions at risk, undercuts unit readiness andmorale, it is inconsistent with Navy ethosand its core values of honor, courage andcommitment,”said Dorice Favorite,NavyAl-cohol and Drug Abuse Prevention director.

The campaign titled “Who Will StandYour Watch?” focuses on Sailors’ personalresponsibility and the impact of their ab-sence, as a result of a substance abuse in-cident.The campaign uses various commu-nication tactics to include print media andpublic service announcements.

“Preventing substance abuse from oc-curring rather than dealing with the con-sequences benefits everyone. Prevention

requires responsibility and accountabilityat all levels.Good leadership and teamworkare the best defense against substanceabuse,”said Favorite.

The campaign features “real” Sailors inthe public service announcements, whichwere filmed in their workplace to portraythe importance of their job and their pres-ence. The PSAs are currently being airedon Direct to Sailor TV and can be found onthe Navy Personnel Command website athttp://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/organization/npc/publicaffairs/videos/Pag-es/default.aspx.

Posters and trifolds are available at nocost to all Navy commands for orderingthrough the Navy Logistics Library. Supplypersonnel may order them via https://nll1.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/ (for NMCI computers)or http://www.navsup.navy.mil/navsup (ifNMCI is not available).

NADAP supports the Fleet, Family andPersonal Readiness Division through ag-gressive alcohol abuse and drug use pre-vention programs.

— Continued from page 3shows up when the victims forget the first rule of weap-ons safety:Treat every weapon as if it’s loaded. Numerousfirearms mishaps show that the victim accidentally shothim or herself while cleaning a weapon that was assumedto be unloaded.

Nelson said complacency also strikes deployed Sailorswho fall into what he calls “The Groundhog Day Syn-drome” after the movie where Bill Murray’s character isforced to relive the same day over and over again.

“When you’re doing the same thing day in and day out,you start to feel like you can do it in your sleep,” he said.“The fact is you can’t.”

This truth is borne out by NAVSAFECEN survey teamswho regularly visit ships and squadrons to help determineif they comply with various safety requirements. Lt. Chris-tine Davy specializes in surveying how well Sailors com-plete their Planned Maintenance System (PMS) checks.She said this is an area where complacency can set in, andwhile Sailors may get away with improper maintenancefor awhile, eventually it may lead to dire consequences.

“When you reach for that piece of equipment in anemergency, it needs to operate as advertised,”she said,not-ing that proper and careful maintenance is the only wayto ensure it will.

She said she takes a great deal of pride in training Sail-ors on how to thoroughly perform damage control main-tenance,because it makes a real difference in life or deathsituations.

“People’s blood is there to show the importance ofmaintenance. Ask the guys on the Cole or the WhidbeyIsland or the Stark,”Davy said,referring to high profile inci-dents where Sailors had to use damage control equipmentto save their shipmates’ lives.

Nelson said the disturbing thing is Sailors know compla-cency is a danger, but still fall into the trap.

“I’ve been at the Naval Safety Center more than 30 years,and 30 years ago we wrote articles that said ‘complacencykills,’”he said.“It still does.”
