Involuntary Separation Pay assists transition from Navy
From Navy Personnel
Command Public Affairs
MILLINGTON, Tenn.
-Active-duty Sailors
involuntarily separated
from the Navy may be
eligible for separation
pay to help ease their
re-entry to civilian life,
officials said Nov. 17.
Separation pay is
intended to assist mem-
bers who are involun-
tarily separated in return-
ing to civilian life, said
Commander Jeffrey
Krusling, head of the Navy
Pay and Compensation
Policy branch. Separation
pay will be paid to mem-
bers involuntarily sepa-
rated from active service
and to those not accepted
for an additional tour of
active duty for which they
volunteered.
Sailors selected for
separation by the enlist-
ed retention board may
be eligible for invol-
untary separation pay
provided they meet the
requirements set forth in
OPNAVINST 1900.4 and
MILPERSMAN 1910-050.
Regul ar enl i sted
members must have
completed at least six
years of active duty and
be willing to affiliate
with the Inactive Ready
Reserve (IRR) for three
years, said Krusling.
I n v o l u n t a r y
Separation Pay (ISP) is
offered and generally
based on the following
formula: monthly base
pay X 12 X years of
service X 10 percent. It
may also be paid at a
reduced rate under cir-
cumstances outlined in
the instruction.
OPNAV Instruction
1900.4 applies to Sailors
involuntarily separated
from active duty on or
after November 1990.
Sailors who are sepa-
rated from active duty at
their own request, as part
of a court-martial sen-
tence or from misconduct
or unsatisfactory perfor-
mance, are not eligible
for separation pay.
Members who receive
separation pay and
later qualify and col-
lect military retirement
pay are required to
repay their separation
pay. Repayment may be
deducted from the mem-
bers retirement pay.
For more information,
read OPNAVINST 1900.4
and talk with your career
counselor.
Involuntary separation
pay is one of the transi-
tion benefits that may be
available to Sailors affect-
ed by the ERB. For more

benefits and other ERB

Communities across U.S. celebrate America Recycles Day
By Navy New London
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn.
- Communities across
America were encour-
aged to join the move-
ment to create a better
natural environment Nov.
15, when they celebrat-
ed America Recycles Day
which is held to promote
the social, environmental
and economic benefits of
recycling
This is the only nation-
ally recognized day dedi-
cated to the promotion of
recycling programs in the
United States.
Everyone must con-
tinue to make a conscious
effort to recycle said
Robert Barner, SUBASEs
Recycling Manager. The
Defense Department
has set a goal that by
2015 we should be recy-
cling at least 50 percent
of non-hazardous solid
waste (not including
construction and demo-
lition waste), accord-
ing to Barner. SUBASE,
with continued emphasis
on monitoring our work
habits and consciously
thinking of doing the
right thing, before tossing
something into the trash
will exceed that goal.
Since SUBASE is pri-
marily a training site, our
biggest recycling com-
modities are paper/card-
board and bottles/cans,
said Barner.
Paper makes up
the largest part of our
waste stream. All types
of paper can be recy-
cled such as white and
colored paper, comput-
er paper, magazines,
phonebooks, newspa-
pers, post-its and enve-
lopes. For fiscal year
(FY) 2011 we recycled
615 tons of cardboard
and paper.
By recycling one ton of
paper - seven thousand
gallons of water is saved.
It takes 17 trees to make
one ton of paper. Consider
that the next time you
choose to print out a direc-
tory that you could easily
reference on line..
Did you know that
glass never wears out and
can be recycled forever?
Recycling one glass bottle
saves enough electricity to
light a 100-watt bulb for
four hours.
During FY11, we recy-
cled more than 188 tons
of bottles/cans, added
Barner.
Recycling aluminum
cans saves 95 percent of
the energy needed to make
aluminum from bauxite
ore. Each desk and class-
room should have a blue
recycling bin, with large
blue recycling dumpsters
for paper, cardboard, and
bottles/cans outside your
command. These dump-
sters and totes are picked-
up every Wednesday.
Scrap metal is another
big revenue generator for
Navy Region Mid-Atlantic.
From October 2010 to the
present SUBASE has recy-
cled more than 400,000
lbs, which has generated
thousands of dollars for
the Navy Region Mid-
Atlantic.
The Navy also uses its
buying power to encour-
age recycling through
the Green Procurement
Program (GPP). Green
Procurement is the policy
and practice of purchas-
ing products made with
recycled materials instead
of virgin materials. Green

New London area school children
create holiday cards for White House
By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg
Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - New
London military children are
designing holiday cards hon-
oring their service member
parent and sending them to
the White House, Nov. 15.
The children are design-
ing unique holiday cards
in response to First Lady
Michelle Obamas request
to receive creative cards
from military children from
throughout the world.
Submitting these holiday
cards gives them an oppor-
tunity to have their work
shown on a national level as
well as validation that their
work is on display at the
White House, said Karen
Bryer, assistant principal,
Charles Barnum Elementary
School.
Bryer said that all 396
students enrolled at Charles
Barnum will submit holiday
cards to the White House for
the first time this year.
A first grader in Amy
Nixons class summarized
it best when describing the
task at hand. We are mak-
ing pictures of our mommies
and daddies for the presi-
dent and Mrs. Obama to put
on the Christmas tree, said
Amelia, one of 22 students
enrolled in Nixons first
grade class.
Sherry Hanks, third-grade
teacher at Charles Barnum
said her students were
inspired to create holiday
cards based on the Veterans
Day tribute Nov. 10 and
their guest speaker, Captain
Bruce Derenski, com-
mander, Submarine Group
2 representative at General
Dynamics Electric Boat who
explained how receiving let-
ters from home helped him
during his individual aug-
mentee deployment.
My students are each
writing holiday cards to a
military person; we all were
inspired by Capt. Derenskis
speech and the kids could
really relate to him, said
Hanks.
Hanks added that of the 26
students in her classroom, 24
have a parent serving in the
military. These cards will
make someone feel good,
said Hanks.
Catherine Hanson, com-
munity coordinator at
Charles Barnum, added that
it is an honor for the New
London-area based military
to be recognized for their
service.
Were honored to have
their parents service recog-
nized by the White House,
said Hanson.
Twenty percent of the
children enrolled district-
wide has a parent currently
serving in the military. At
Charles Barnum Elementary
School, more than 90 percent
of the children have a parent
serving in the military.
In addition to Charles
Barnum Elementary School,
Naval Submarine Base New
London Youth Center is also
collecting cards created by
military children to send to
the White House.

SHORE TIES: Thankful for
our blessings and chapels
By Capt. Marc W.Denno
With Thanksgivings
arrival, we are all reminded
of two key things that we
sometimes take for granted
in our often busy and hectic,
schedules and lives: giving
thanks and counting our
blessings.
So first, allow me to
extend my thanks to every
member, family, and friend
of Navy Team New London.
You make a difference for
our Fleet, Fighters, Families,
and Nation every day. You
are the reason that Naval
Submarine Base New
London was selected as
the Installation Excellence
Award winner in Navy
Region Mid-Atlantic for an
unprecedented, second con-
secutive year. I could not be
prouder or more humbled
by your contributions.
As most of you are well
aware, when I took com-
mand of SUBASE, I estab-
lished three goals for my
tenure: to maintain the
vitality and viability of the
base; to put the submarine
back into SUBASE; and,
to involve our Sailors and
community in a productive
relationship.
However, this
Thanksgiving finds SUBASE
faced with a difficult deci-
sion in maintaining the
vitality and viability of an
infrastructure fixture that
has graced our Navy com-
munity since 1966.
Since its completion then,
in the new Navy Housing
Community, Shepherd of
the Sea Chapel elevated
SUBASE to the elite standing
of a mere handful of bases in
the Navy and Marine Corps
that were blessed with both
an on-base and an off-base
Chapel.
Chapel on the Thames,
our historic Submariners
Chapel, on-base, and easily
accessible to the Sailors in
the barracks, was compli-
mented by Shepherd of the
Sea Chapel, built during the
height of the Cold War and
situated off-base to support
the religious and commu-
nity needs of married Sailors
and their dependents. For
almost fifty years, SUBASEs
two Chapels have supported
our active duty personnel
and their dependents.
But time, demograph-
ics, and materiel conditions
have changed.
The Cold War has long
ended and so has the bur-
geoning base population of
an era when SUBASE was
home not only to fast attack
submarines and crews but
also to crews from ballistic
missile submarines transfer-
ring in and out of Holy
Loch, Scotland. Worship
preferences and religious
demographics have shifted
and down-sized as well,
as more military members
and families have sought
to grow roots in the com-
munities, join civilian con-
gregations, and use private
religious facilities.
As a result, use of our
SUBASE chapels for reli-
gious services has steadily
decreased over the years. In
fact, in looking at the num-
bers, one Chapel can now
easily support the services
and functions of our current
and foreseeable command
religious programs.
Additionally, the A-frame
design of the Shepherd
of the Sea Chapel, while
architecturally striking, is
maintenance stunning. The
high peak and voluminous
ceiling space of the Chapel,
combined with a general
decline in its material sta-
tus and ever-tightening bud-
get constraints, have cre-
ated such a heating, cool-
ing, and upkeep expense
that the buildings operation
is a challenge in our New
England climate. Some $3.6
million or more would be
needed to repair, rehabili-
tate, and increase the energy
efficiency of the Chapel.
Every attempt has been
made by SUBASE to secure
funds; but unfortunately,
it is $3.6 million that the
Navy just does not have.
Moreover, the costs associ-
ated with even maintain-
ing the Chapel in its cur-
rent declined condition are
mounting.
So, with thanks for its ser-
vice and support to all those
who worshipped or attended
a function there and feeling
blessed that our SUBASE
community has been able
to enjoy its use for so long,
I must close Shepherd of the
Sea Chapel.
I do not make this decision
casually. I fully understand
that closure of Shepherd of
the Sea will necessitate the
SUBASE community making
adjustments. The Chapel on
the Thames, on-base, will
now be the focal point for
command religious activi-
ties while other facilities
like Dealey Center Theater
and the Fleet and Family
Center may have to support
events and programs previ-
ously held at the Shepherd
of the Seas ancillary ameni-
ties. But, I also fully expect
that while we may have to
face a shift in venue, we
will not face a loss or reduc-
tion of services. Team New
Londons commitment and
dedication will assure us of
that.
The closing of Shepherd
of the Sea Chapel will mark
the end of an era. A time-
line for closure is currently
being drafted and will be
promulgated as soon as it is
available. I know that there
may be a degree of grief
experienced by those with
close ties to the building or
have an emotional invest-
ment in it. As we face this
new chapter in SUBASEs
command religious program
and services, lets benefit
from those key elements of
Thursdays holiday. Let us
be thankful for the friends,
family, and bounty we all
enjoy, and let us feel blessed
by the freedom, communi-
ty, and shore ties that have
so far, and will continue to,
sustain us.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sail safe!

TOBACCO FACTS
Chewing tobacco is NOT a safe alternative to
cigarettes, it can be just as addictive as cigarette
smoking.
Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer. Breathing
in secondhand smoke at home or work increases
your chance of getting lung cancer by 20-30%.
The average smoker (1 1/2 packs/day) spends about
$3100.00 per year on cigarettes. Thats an average
of $258.33 per month. Is this your car payment?

By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
In 1621, Plymouth col-
onists and Wampanoag
Indians shared an autumn
harvest feast, which is
acknowledged today as one
of the first Thanksgiving
celebrations in the colo-
nies. This harvest meal has
become a symbol of coop-
eration and interaction
between English colonists
and Native Americans.
Although this feast is con-
sidered by many to the
very first Thanksgiving
celebration, it was actu-
ally in keeping with a
long tradition of celebrat-
ing the harvest and giv-
ing thanks for a successful
bounty of crops. Native
American groups through-
out the Americas, includ-
ing the Pueblo, Cherokee,
Creek and many others
organized harvest festi-
vals, ceremonial dances,
and other celebrations of
thanks for centuries before
the arrival of Europeans in
North America.
Historians have also
recorded other ceremonies
of thanks among European
settlers in North America,
including British colonists
in Berkeley Plantation,
Virginia. At this site
near the Charles River
in December of 1619, a
group of British settlers led
by Captain John Woodlief
knelt in prayer and
pledged Thanksgiving
to God for their healthy
arrival after a long voyage
across the Atlantic. This
event has been acknowl-
edged by some scholars
and writers as the offi-
cial first Thanksgiving
among European set-
tlers on record. Whether
at Plymouth, Berkeley
Plantation, or through-
out the Americas, cel-
ebrations of thanks have
held great meaning and
importance over time.
The legacy of thanks, and
particularly of the feast,
have survived the centu-
ries as people throughout
the United States gather
family, friends, and enor-
mous amounts of food for
their yearly Thanksgiving
meal.
What Was Actually on
the Menu? What foods
topped the table at the first
harvest feast? Historians
arent completely certain
about the full bounty, but
its safe to say the pil-
grims werent gobbling up
pumpkin pie or playing
with their mashed pota-
toes.
The only two items that
historians know for sure
were on the menu are ven-
ison and wild fowl, which
are mentioned in primary
sources. The most detailed
description of the First
Thanksgiving comes from
Edward Winslow from A
Journal of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, in 1621:
Our harvest being got-
ten in, our governor sent
four men on fowling, that
so we might after a special
manner rejoice together
after we had gathered
the fruit of our labors.
They four in one day
killed as much fowl as,
with a little help beside,
served the company
almost a week. At which
time, among other recre-
ations, we exercised our
arms, many of the Indians
coming amongst us, and
among the rest their great-
est king Massasoit, with

GROTON, Conn. The Child Development
Center (CDC) offered active duty parents from
Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE)
and their spouses the opportunity to enjoy sea-
sonal food with their children in anticipation of
the Thanksgiving holiday, Nov. 18.
The annual event known as Family Feast,
gives service members who utilize the CDC the
chance to come and eat lunch with their children.
Turkey, stuffing, green beans, and pumpkin pie
were just a few of the many food items that were
available.
Ann Camilluchi, director of the event, said that
Family Feast was a great way for the CDC to
give back to those who contribute to the center
such as SUBASE and MWR.
Once a year at Thanksgiving we invite not
only parents but also those who support CDC to
come out and enjoy the food we have here, said
Camilluchi. SUBASE Command Suite is always
supportive.

can be saved.

on foot, take a horse-
drawn carriage ride, expe-
rience a traditional tavern
dance, and perhaps even

Nicholas.

year, and the writing
and production planning
begins in February.

Celebrating Native American History
Photo by MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn. Jim Jones from the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center talks to Naval Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) library patrons about what life was like for the Pequot Native Americans thousands of years ago. Jones brought
numerous items to help capture the essence of how the Pequots lived long before Europeans came to America.
Procurement is also
sometimes referred to as
Affirmative Procurement
(AP) or Environmentally
Preferable Purchasing
(EPP). As required by
laws like the Resource
Conservat i on and
Recovery Act (RCRA)
and Executive Order
13101, federal agencies
are required to first con-
sider items composed of
recovered or bio based
materials when making
purchases of certain des-
ignated products. This
applies to appropriated
funds, non-appropriated
funds, and contractors
spending federal dollars
and includes all credit
card holders.
EPA provides lists
of designated items
in its Comprehensive
Procurement Guidelines
(CPGs). You can find these
items in the places you
traditionally order them
from, such as General
Services Administration
(GSA), Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA), and the
Government Printing
Office (GPO).

Recycling ...
some ninety men, whom
for three days we enter-
tained and feasted, and
they went out and killed
five deer, which they
brought to the plantation
and bestowed upon our
governor, and upon the
captain, and others. And
although it be not always
so plentiful as it was at
this time with us, yet by
the goodness of God, we
are so far from want that
we often wish you partak-
ers of our plenty.
Did you know that lob-
ster, crab, duck, and even
swans were on the Pilgrims
menu? Being so close to
the bay waterfowl and crus-
taceans were plentiful and
easy to capture or shoot,
there is no mention of two
of our current Thanksgiving
staples, turkey or ham.
Seventeenth century table
manners: The pilgrims
didnt use forks; they ate
with spoons, knives, and
their fingers. They wiped
their hands on large cloth
napkins which they also
used to pick up hot morsels
of food. Salt would have
been on the table at the
dinner; pepper was some-
thing that was used only for
cooking.
In the seventeenth centu-
ry, a persons social standing
determined what he or she
ate. The best food was placed
next to the most important
people. People didnt tend
to sample everything that
was on the table (as we do
today), they just ate what
was closest to them.
Serving in the seven-
teenth century was very dif-
ferent from serving today.
People werent served their
meals individually. Foods
were served onto the table
and then people took the
food from the table and ate
it. All the servers had to do
was move the food from the
place where it was cooked
onto the table.
Pilgrims didnt eat in
courses as we do today.
All of the different types of
foods were placed on the
table at the same time and
people ate in any order they
chose. Sometimes there
were two courses, but each
of them would contain both
meat dishes, puddings, and
sweets.
More meat, less vegetables
our modern Thanksgiving
repast is centered around
the turkey, but that cer-
tainly wasnt the case at
the pilgrimss feasts. Their
meals included many differ-
ent meats. Vegetable dishes,
one of the main components
of our modern celebration,
didnt really play a large
part in the feast mentality
of the seventeenth centu-
ry. Depending on the time
of year, many vegetables
werent available to the col-
onists.
The pilgrims probably
didnt have pies or anything
sweet at the harvest feast.
They had brought some
sugar with them on the
Mayflower but by the time
of the feast, the supply had
dwindled. Also, they didnt
have an oven so pies and
cakes and breads were not
possible at all. The food that
was eaten at the harvest feast
would have seemed fatty by
1990s standards, but it was
probably healthier for the
pilgrims than it would be
for people today. The colo-
nists were more active and
needed more protein. Heart
attack was the least of their
worries. They were more
concerned about the plague
and pox.
Surprisingly spicy cook-
ing people tend to think of
English food as bland, but in
fact, the pilgrims used many
spices, including cinnamon,
ginger, nutmeg, pepper, and
dried fruit. In the seven-
teenth century, cooks did
not use proportions or talk
about teaspoons and table-
spoons, they just impro-
vised.
The best way to cook
things in the seventeenth
century was to roast them.
Among the pilgrims, some-
one was assigned to sit for
hours at a time and turn the
spit to make sure the meat
was evenly done.
Since the pilgrims and
Wampanoag Indians had no
refrigeration in the seven-
teenth century, they tended
to dry a lot of their foods to
preserve them. They dried
Indian corn, hams, fish, and
herbs.
Dinner for Breakfast:
Pilgrim Meals: The biggest
meal of the day for the col-
onists was eaten at noon
and it was called noonmeat
or dinner. The housewives
would spend part of their
morning cooking that meal.
Supper was a smaller meal
that they had at the end of
the day. Breakfast tended to
be leftovers from the previ-
ous days noonmeat.
In a pilgrim household,
the adults sat down to eat
and the children and ser-
vants waited on them. The
foods that the colonists and
