NS Guantanamo Bay Commanding Officer, Capt. David Culpepper congratulates CS2 Ingram, left, and MA3 Carrasquillo, right, on their selection as the Sailor of the Week.

■Job/Department: Air Terminal Security/Physicial Security■Age: 23■Hometown: San Juan, Puerto Rico■Hero: My Grandmother■Movie: Coach Carter■Hobby: Sports and video games■Quote: ““An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind”■Sailor of the Week Because: MA3 Carrasquillo was nominated for Sailor of the week due to outstanding performance outside of normal duties as Air Terminal Security providing bilingual translation support to JTF Public Affairs Team on Tuesday 19 April 16. JTF Public Affairs Officer hosted six media outlets with 10 international reporters to cover Joint Task Force Guantanamo operations. Following every media tour, JTF media team reviews every photograph and video prior to the reporters’ departure in a thorough OPSEC scrub. This process is critical to ensure operational security measures are in place and JTF personnel remain safe. During this operation several reporters spoke very little English, and MA3 bilingual support was vital during JTF’s review of media footage.

MA3 RAUL CARRASQUILLO■Job/Department: Quality Assurance Evaluator at the Galley■Age: 33■Hometown: Aliceville, Alabama■Hero: Dan Bilzerian■Movie: The Fugitive■Thanks: I would like to thank the people that have made this possible. The CO, XO, CMC CS2 Wingfield, MC2 Harris, RP2 Lampkin and the MWR staff.■Sailor of the Week Because: CS2 Ingram was selected as SOW for his hard work and dedication while assigned as Quality Assurance for the galley. CS2 demonstrated superior performance and exceptional service by expediting all General Mess Menus and Audits for the month of April. He was also the mastermind in coordinating the first-ever Command Game Day which consisted of active military, dependents, and civilian personnel of NSGB and tenant commands. Additionally, he coordinated various tournaments, setup logistics and food sections for all those in attendance to enjoy throughout the day. His efforts significantly enhanced quality of life and greatly boosted the morale for all. Bravo Zulu on a job well done.

For the upcoming hurricane season, and in case of any disaster, you should include pet care when planning for your family. Pets are not allowed in shelters, leaving owners with a few options- temporarily house them in another home that is hurricane proof or take them to the designated pet shelter located at Cuban Bunker #30 (located next to Auto Port). Items to include for your pet include at least 5 day supply of food (stored in a water proof container and don’t forget a measuring cup) and clean water ( a good rule of thumb is a 60 pound dog needs a liter of water per day), dishes, a leash and collar (even for cats!), a crate/carrier/kennel (especially for smaller animals) that is clearly labeled with their name and your contact information as well as at least a two week supply of any medications they are regularly on (i.e. heart medications, allergy medications, etc). Also, for cats, kitty litter and litter box. Familiar toys or blankets may also help distract and/or calm your pet during a disaster. Keep a current copy of your pet’s medical record, especially showing their most recent vaccinations and microchip number in case you and your pet are separated. The microchip number is the only manner we have in definitely identifying a pet and making sure he/she are returned to the right family. Depending on when and where you had your pet microchipped you may have gotten a tag that has the microchip number printed on it. That tag, as well as the most current Rabies vaccination tag and pet identification tag, should stay on your pet’s collar, harness or carrier as a means of identification. Pets can react unpredictably during disasters with normally calm pets becoming frantic, docile pets becoming aggressive and other behavioral changes. Being prepared with the means for controlling your pet (leash/collar, crate/kennel) can prevent injuries to both the pet and humans as well as prevent escapes and dangerous situations. Any questions, concerns or suggestions for pet care/planning in hurricane preparedness can be sent to the Veterinary Treatment Facility at 2212/2101. They are happy to give you a medical record summary as well as your pet’s microchip number for your records.

Keeping Your Animals Safe

- Purchase a battery-, solar-, or crank-operated AM/FM radio (and packs of replacement batteries).- If the power goes out in your home, you can listening to FM 102.1 / 103.1 or AM 1340, where emergency warnings, hurricane location, conditions of readiness and any other important information will be broadcast.- Both the Defense Media Activity detachment (RadioGTMO), and the Base Communications Office (Telephone Exchange) have emergency auxiliary power that will allow uninterrupted broadcast and telephone capability in the event of storm-related power outages. Power will be secured during major hurricanes.- Purchase a traditional CORDED telephone without an answering machine; ensure it doesn’t require an electrical outlet. It doesn’t have to be your primary phone, but it will enable you to place and receive calls as long as the base telephone network is operating. Cordless and VOIP phones require power to operate.- Know the Giant Voice tones and emergency numbers, published here in the Gazette, as well as the wallet cards and residence stickers / magnets.-The Emergency Information hotline is similar to the Movie and Galley phone lines; it can handle up to 25 callers at a time. During normal operations, residents can call in to hear the Giant Voice signals. Dial INFO (4636)

First Impressions

As a recent arrival to NSGB, it is my privilege to share a few words about my first impressions.

Beautiful weather, amazing hospitality, dynamic worship communities, great people, outstanding facilities, and much more, characterize my initial thoughts and reflections.

It is my sincere hope to get to know as many people as possible and to take care of everyone who needs my help. The Religious Ministries Team is here to support you and assist you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Please continue to participate in our worship services, religious education, personal growth workshops, guest clergy events, and special activities from time to time.

We hope that you will feel welcome here at the chapel and the annex. Reach out to us if we can help you. Check the roller for the latest information. Give us a call if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

My own military career started back in 1987 at Parris Island. I was an Active Duty Marine until 1991, and then became a Navy Reserve Chaplain in 1992. I have served on Active Duty as a Chaplain since 1995. My assignments include USMC, USN, USCG, and more.

Blue water “Holy Helo” sorties and MRAP travel outside the wire are among my favorite missions. I have lived in Asia, Europe, the Indian Ocean, and other beautiful locations, thanks to our great Chaplain Corps Detailers.

Let’s get to know each other over the next 18 months. Many thanks to everyone who has helped me to settle in here. Be assured of my continued prayers and best wishes, for you and yours, as we take care of one another, throughout the duration of our respective tours of duty.

HURRICANE 2016PREPAREDNESS

Hurricanes can form quickly in the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Contact the housing office if you will be off-island for more than 72 hours. Before You Vacation - It’s your responsibility to secure your house in the event of inclement weather. Do not leave your car at Ferry Landing.Take trash cans inside or place in an outdoor closet. All pools, trampolines and toys or any other possible projectiles need to be secured. Tables, chairs, grills, plants in pots and any other outdoor items need to be stowed. Organize your garage because winds will enter the space through the opening at the bottom of the garage door and any unsecured items can damage the structure or vehicle inside. If you live in one of the houses that are designated to go to a base shelter or you are going to a friend’s house, you need to secure the items listed above before leaving your home.
