Monique K. Hilley
Commander, Navy Installations
Command Public Affairs
WASHINGTON -
Commander, Navy
Installations Command
issued an announce-
ment reminding all
personnel that the pho-
tocopying of military
identification cards and
common access cards
(CAC) is strictly pro-
hibited, Nov. 1.
There have been
recent incidents report-
ed of commercial estab-
lishments photocopy-
ing U.S. government
identification to verify
military affiliation or
provide government
rates for service. These
incidents are a viola-
tion of Title 18, U.S.
Code, Part I, Chapter
33, Section 701 and
are punishable by fine
and/or imprisonment.
Although commer-
cial establishments
may request to see mil-
itary/government iden-
tification, they may not
photocopy or duplicate
it in any way. Many
military personnel and
commercial establish-
ments are unaware of
the prohibition and the
reasons it exists, which
results in this being a
fairly common prac-
tice.
Because of the access
the cards grant, crimi-
nal elements and terror-
ist organizations place
obtaining U.S. govern-
ment identifications at
a premium when plan-
ning acts against the
U.S. military. If a cop-
ied military or govern-
ment identification fell
into the wrong hands,
it could spell disaster
for the Armed Forces
and the nation.
Unfortunately, there
are no safeguards in
place to prevent a
counterfeit military/
government identifica-
tion card from being
produced based on a
photocopy provided to
a commercial establish-
ment. For this reason,
personnel are request-
ed to remain vigilant
in ensuring they do not
allow anyone to pho-
tocopy their identifica-
tion cards.
CNIC recommends
that all personnel, both
military and civilian,
provide a state drivers
license or other form of
photo identification to
be photocopied when
there is a request for
such information by a
commercial establish-
ment.

The Flagship Staff Writer
NORFOLK - The Naval
Criminal Investigative Service
(NCIS) is promoting iden-
tity theft awareness for ser-
vice members around Navy
Region Mid Atlantic, which
Naval Submarine Base New
London falls under.
Identity theft is acquir-
ing key pieces of someones
identifying information in
order to impersonate them,
said Chris Donnelly, Special
Agent, NCIS. The crucial
information is your full
name, your address, your
date of birth, your Social
Security number and your
mothers maiden name,
which is the pass code for
accounts a lot of the time.
Identity theft is becoming
more common.
Its getting bigger and
bigger and part of the rea-
son is because of the access
that criminals have through
the Internet and comput-
ers, said Donnelly. One of
the things that many people
are involved in is social net-
works. People need to be
careful of what they are put-
ting out on their network.
Most people have their name
on their page, their date of
birth and they think they
are smart because they dont
have their cell phone num-
ber or address on there. But
they dont understand that
they can be unwittingly be
giving out that information
anyway. If you have a pic-
ture on Facebook of the front
of your house where you are
posing next to your new car,
a person can zoom in on the
house and get the number or
zoom in on a street sign.
If a person isnt vigilant, it
can be easy for criminals to
find the information that can
compromise their identitys
security.
The more common ways
are to dig through trash, hack-
ing into to a computer or it is
given unwittingly through
phishing type emails, said
Donnelly.
Phishing is a way of
attempting to acquire sen-
sitive information such as
usernames, passwords and
credit card details by mas-
querading as a trustworthy
entity (such as a bank or
a credit card) and it often
directs users to enter details
at a fake website that looks
and feels identical to the
legitimate site.
This actually happened
in the Hampton Roads area
recently.
We had an instance
where numerous Sailors
came forth because they
were having money trans-
ferred out of their account
having checks writ-
ten out of their account
when they didnt have

Hartford welcomes new commanding officer
By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg
Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - Los
Angeles-class attack sub-
marine USS Hartford (SSN
768) held a change of com-
mand ceremony aboard
the submarine, Nov. 4.
Commander Steven
Wilkinson relieved Cmdr.
Robert Dunn as command-
ing officer.
Your determined lead-
ership, keen intellect,
and technical expertise
were the driving forces
in accomplishing crew
certification and return-
ing the Hartford to opera-
tional status, which will
allow for many years of
operational success, said
Captain Frank Lowery,
chief of staff, Commander,
Submarine Group 2, who
spoke at the ceremony.
During his speech,
Lowery praised Dunns
wife and family for the
support they have provid-
ed him during this tour
and his naval career. To
Valerie and the rest of the
family, thank you for shar-
ing your husband and dad
with us; your support is
valuable and truly appre-
ciated. We cannot serve
the nation without you,
said Lowery.
November is National
Mi l i t ary Fami l y
Appreciation Month. In
a recent proclamation
by the president of the
United States the freedom
and security the country
enjoys is credited to the
military and their families.
Behind our brave service
men and women, there
are family members and
loved ones who share in
their sacrifice and provide
unending support.
Lowery also recognized
Wilkinsons family for the
support they have pro-
vided him especially at
the pinnacle of his career,

FORT LEE, Va.
Nothing says Thanksgiving
quite like turkey, so com-
missaries in the U.S., to
include Alaska and Hawaii,
are featuring special product
coupon booklets that reduce
the price of turkeys they sell
during November.
Weve listened to our
customers, and they want
low-priced turkeys, said
Chris Burns, DeCAs direc-
tor of sales. Our Marketing
Business Unit and industry
partners have come up with
coupon booklets that provide
our customers significant
savings toward the purchase
of a turkey when they buy
the products featured in the
booklet.
Why all the effort for tur-
keys? Low-priced turkeys
attract Thanksgiving meal
shoppers in droves. Most
businesses do this by sell-
ing turkeys as loss leaders
- items priced below cost to
draw shoppers in their stores
- but DeCA is required by
law to sell products at cost
without a profit markup,
Burns said.
Because this is a test ven-
ture with industry, coupon
booklet quantities are lim-
ited. The success of this pro-
motion will determine future
expansion of the program,
Burns said. For now, about
82,200 booklets will be dis-
tributed in all commissaries
in the United States, including
Alaska and Hawaii, starting
the first week of November.
In addition, Maxi Saver, a
coupon flyer firm, will hand
out another 117,000 book-
lets to select commissaries
Nov. 17-20; a list of those
stores and more details can
be found on DeCAs website,
http://www.commissaries.
com. All coupons are effec-
tive Nov. 1 and expire Nov.
30. They will not be avail-
able at overseas locations.
Heres how it works.
Coupons for already low-
priced items, many of them
popularly used to make holi-
day meals, are featured in the
booklets. Each coupon states
how much can be applied
toward the purchase of a
fresh or frozen whole turkey.
For example, buy two fresh
salad kits and save $1 on the
purchase of a turkey. All of
the coupons add up to more
than $32 in savings. The
turkey must be purchased
at the time the coupons are
used.
Act fast, because quanti-
ties are limited. I cant say
that enough, Burns said.
This is the first time weve
done something like this,
and based on what our cus-
tomers have told us, were
expecting a great response.

Veterans Day: Celebrating Americas veterans
By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn. Since
1919, America has cel-
ebrated her veterans, on
November 11, honoring
those men and women
so willing to sacrifice
everything to safeguard
this nation and the prin-
ciples and ideals it was
founded upon.
On the 11th hour of
the 11th day of the 11th
month of 1918, Gemany
signed the Armistice
treaty, ending major
hostilities of World War
One. One year later
President Woodrow
Wilson proclaimed the
first Armistice Day, hon-
oring those who fought
in the war to end all
wars.
To us in America, the
reflections of Armistice
Day will be filled with
solemn pride in the her-
oism of those who died
in the countrys ser-
vice and with gratitude
for the victory, said
Wilson.
On May 13, 1938,
Congress passed an act,
which made Nov. 11 a
legal holiday; a day
to be dedicated to the
cause of world peace
and to be thereafter cel-
ebrated and known as
Armistice Day.
During World War
II, more than 400,000
Americans were killed
and another 680,000
were wounded serv-
ing in the European
and Pacific theaters. In
all, more than 16 mil-
lion American men and
women served during
the greatest conflict in
recorded history.
It is foolish and
wrong to mourn the men
who died, said General
George S. Patton, in
1945, speaking of the
men who died fighting
in WWII. Rather we
should thank God that
such men lived.
In 1953, legislation
was brought to Congress
to change Armistice day,
so rather than only hon-
oring the brave service
members who fought
in WWI, the day would
honor all of Americas
veterans from those
who fought for inde-
pendence to men and
women who were serv-
ing in the active con-
flict in Korea. President
Dwight D. Eisenhower
signed the bill into law
May 26, 1954. Congress
would amend the law
June 1, 1954, replacing
the word Armistice to
Veterans, signifying the
change in the holidays

Prepping for the
New England winter
By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn.
Halloween weekends
snowy Noreaster that roared
through New England, light-
ly brushing the Groton area
but unloading more than a
foot of snow in other areas to
the north and west, reminds
us we need to be prepared
for the upcoming New
England winter. The aver-
age snowfall begins in mid
to late November and con-
tinues until late February.
Southeastern Connecticut
averages 24 to 40 inches
of snow during the winter
with an average winter high
around 30 degrees and lows
in the upper teens to low
20s.
In preparing for the winter
there are numerous items
personnel should keep on
hand when winter storms
approach. Extra blankets,
water, canned foods, flash
light, extra batteries, and a
portable battery powered
radio.
If you own a generator
ensure it is ready for the win-
ter, never start the generator
in your home unless you
have a way for the exhaust
to escape to the outside air.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) will
build up quickly in your
home and pose a serious
health hazard. Numerous
deaths each year are attrib-
uted to CO poisoning.
In preparing yourself for
the winter, you should also
keep specific items in your
car, in case you become
stranded in a snowstorm.
Blankets, energy or granola
bars, jumper cables, bottled
water, flashlight, and road
flares are all essential items
that you should ensure you
keep in your vehicle before
the Connecticut winter sets
in.
Check the brakes and fluid
levels before you begin any
road trip, and it is a good
idea to check your tire tread
before the snow starts to
fall. A good test for that is
to take a penny and place it
in the tread with President
Lincolns head pointing
down, If you can see the top
of honest Abes head, you
need new tires.
For more tips on how
to prepare your home car
and family for the winter
season, visit the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) website,

ard/winter/wi_before.shtm.

ments coming out of
their account when they
didnt have any loans
and credit card advances
on credit card they didnt
have, said Donnelly.
Through investigative
measure we came to the
realization that the com-
mon denominator that
they had was that they all
had visited a cell phone
kiosk at a local mall, he
explained. An employee
had been taking the pre-
approval forms that they
filled out for the company
to run credit checks and
sold hundreds of pages of
information to two other
people. They used the
information to get into
the online bank to trans-
fer money out and open
new accounts.
There are some ways
to be proactive against
identity theft.
Dont leave mail in
your mailbox and make
sure that you drop off
outgoing mail at a post
office. Dont give per-
sonal information out
over the phone unless
you know who is on the
other side of the line.
Shred any paperwork
that has your Social
Security number on it,
credit card applications
and receipts. Order your
credit report, you get it
twice a year free from
any of the three credit
bureaus and have your
Social Security memo-
rized. Social Security
cards should stay at
home in a safe deposit
box, not in your wallet!

theft and what active duty

The Groton Public Library concludes its series
of programs about the American Civil War with
a presentation about William Webb, an African-
American Civil War Soldier from Connecticut,
Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. Kevin Johnson, an employee
of the Connecticut State Librarys History and
Genealogy Unit, will portray William Webb.
Private Webb was an actual soldier, a native of
Hartford. He was recruited in 1863 and served in
the Twenty-Ninth (Colored) Regiment, Connecticut
Volunteer Infantry in several battles in Virginia.
Johnsons presentation of Webb is told from an
emotional and exciting first-person perspective
that vividly illustrates the struggle of the African-
Americans in the Colored Infantry during the
Civil War. He tells of his early life in Hartford, his
recruitment and training, and the traumatic final
battles of the Civil War.
Kevin Johnson has been presenting William
Webb for more than 10 years and has given
more than 400 presentations. The presentation is
based on extensive research in the collections of
the Connecticut State Library and the Museum of
Connecticut History.
This program is free and open to the public. No
registration is required. For more information, con-
tact the Library at (860) 441-6750.

Maestros final season with Chorus Of Westerly begins
Beloved maestro George
Kent kicks off his final sea-
son with the Chorus of
Westerly, Nov. 20, with two
performances featuring the
works of Johann Sebastian
Bach and Henry Purcell.
In the performances under
Kent, the 190-voice Chorus
of Westerly and the Boston
Festival Orchestra will
offer Bachs Cantata 191:
Gloria in excelsis Deo (the
Gloria from the famous
Bach Mass in B Minor) and
Purcells Birthday Ode to
Queen Victoria, Come Ye
Sons of Art. Joining the
chorus and orchestra for
this concert are Grammy-
award winning artists
Carmen Pelton, soprano,
and William Sharp, bari-
tone. Acclaimed New York
tenor and local favor-
ite Bryan Register will
also perform. Coming to
Westerly for the first time
to sing in Come Ye Sons of
Art are two rising stars in
the vocal world, counter-
tenors John Holiday and
Patrick Fennig.
The performances will
take place at 4 and 6 p.m.
Nov. 20, in the George
Kent Performance Hall,
119 High Street, in down-
town Westerly. Tickets
can be purchased at the
Chorus of Westerly Box
Office, by calling (401)
596-8663, or by visiting
www.chorusofwesterly.
org. Ticket prices range
from $22 to $65 (with $10
student tickets available).
A free pre-concert lecture,
offered by George Kent,
will take place Nov. 19
at noon, in the rehearsal
room of the George Kent
Performance Hall. The
lecture will be followed
by an open rehearsal of
Cantata 191 and Come Ye
Sons of Art at 2 p.m. The
public is welcomed for
all events. No tickets are
required for the lecture or
open rehearsal.
The November con-
cert marks the kick-off
to George Kents fare-
well season. Kent, who
was born in Westerly
and raised in neighboring
Pawcatuck, Conn., found-
ed the Chorus in 1959 at
the age of 21. His purpose
in creating the ensemble
was to create an organiza-
tion where area residents,
and in particular children,
would have the opportu-
nity to sing and perform
the great works of music.
He also wished to bring
the symphonic world (and
the professional musicians
found in Boston and New
York) to Westerly so local
residents could hear and
experience great classi-
cal music live as part
of the audience. Over the
Chorus of Westerlys 53
seasons, Kent has grown
the Chorus into one of
the most respected, pres-
tigious, and acclaimed
arts organizations in New
England. Over 2,000 area
residents have sung under
George Kent (including
1400 children) and more
than 1.5 million people
have heard the Chorus
sing in one of nearly 600
performances.

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?

GROTON, Conn. -
Professors from more than
30 universities with Naval
Reserve Officers Training
Corps (NROTC) programs
visited Naval Submarine
Base New London (SUBASE),
Oct. 28.
Prior to the visit to
SUBASE, they met at the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology for the annu-
al Association of NROTC
Universities and Colleges
meeting. For the past 40
years the association, which
was formed shortly after
World War II, has held its
annual meeting at a school
hosting an NROTC unit.
Given the Navys con-
tinued need for officers
with technical degrees, it is
only fitting that Association
members visit the subma-
rine base and see firsthand
why the Navy needs out-
standing engineering and
science graduates for our
most technically oriented
community - the submarine
force, said Captain Curtis R.
Stevens, Boston University-
MIT NROTC Consortium
and director, Naval ROTC
Harvard University.
Capt. Frank Lowery,
chief of staff, Commander,
Submarine Group 2 met
with the professors during
their daylong visit to the
SUBASE New London to
discuss their critical role in
teaching the next generation
of naval leaders.
You are luminaries. Your
daily efforts in teaching our
next generation of naval
officers how to think will
influence our Navy and sub-
marine force for decades.
You light our way and we
are indebted to you for all
you do for our nation and
our Navy, said Lowery.
The universities that par-
ticipated in the SUBASE
visit include: Boston
University; College of the
Holy Cross; Embry Riddle
University; Florida A&M

By Commander, Submarine
Group Two Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - Three
Sailors from Submarine
Base (SUBASE) New
London and Commander,
Submarine Group 2 attend-
ed Harbor Elementary
School to meet with stu-
dents to explain their role
in the U.S. Navy and the
importance of honoring
our veterans on Veterans
Day, Nov. 3.
Michele Han, princi-
pal of Harbor Elementary
School emphasized the
importance of the Sailors
participation in their
school activities to educate
them about the meaning
of Veterans Day.
It was wonderful hav-
ing the Sailors participate
in Harbor Schools Town
Meetings. They served as
role-models for our stu-
dents and provided an
important connection to
the importance of the
Veterans Day holiday. We
greatly appreciate their
willingness to participate
in our school activities,
said Han.
Electrician Technician
1st Class (SS) Craig
Herb, Naval Submarine
Base Port Operations
Department was one of
the SUBASE Sailors who
took part in the school
visit, which he hopes to
repeat in the near future.
I really loved getting
the chance to visit and
help out the school. I
really look forward to
the opportunity to return
and support this member
of our community, said
Herb.
Two other Sailors,
Logistics Specialist 2nd
Class (SW) Jose Samayoa
and Yeoman 2nd Class (SS)
Jose Almonte also partici-
pated in the school event.
Students from kin-
dergarten through fifth
grade attended various
assemblies to listen to
the Sailors explain their
job in the Navy and the
importance of honoring
our veterans Nov. 11 of
every year.
On a regular basis,
Naval Submarine Base
New London Sailors
engage with area schools
to educate students about
the military and support
classroom learning.
The community has
been very supportive of
our Sailors and families
and its a good oppor-
tunity for our Sailors
to give back in a posi-
tive way while they are
stationed here, said
Miranda Chapman, Naval
Submarine Base New
London school liaison.
Veterans Day began as
Armistice Day to mark the
end of World War I, when
the main hostilities were
silenced at the 11th hour
of the 11th day of the 11th
month in 1918. Congress
modified the name from
Armistice Day to Veterans
Day June 1, 1954.

Herb, Yeoman Second Class
Jose Almonte and Logistics
Specialist Second Class Jose
Samayoa, speak to students of
the Harbor Elementary School
in New London about the impor-
tance of Veterans Day and what
it means to each of them. The
Sailors, from SUBASE and CSG
Two answered numerous ques-
tions during the event, ranging
from how long they have been
in the Navy to what the ribbons
on their uniforms meant.

commanding a subma-
rine.
To Carmen and the rest
of his family, I want to
say thank you for every-
thing you have done to
allow your husband and
father to reach this pin-
nacle in his career. Your
support is also valuable
and truly appreciated,
said Lowery.
Dunn emphasized the
importance of each sub-
mariner to the overall mis-
sion.
Hartford was delivered
in February of this year
and in short order the
crew racked up a series
of successes culminat-
ing in being certified to
surge and support theater
contingency operations in
September, said Dunn.
The learning curve has
been steep to this point
and it gets steeper as
deployment preparations
continue. Im confident
each of you are up to the
task.
During Dunns tour
as commanding officer,
Hartford completed a 19-
month, emergent ship-
yard period resulting in
the ships rapid and safe
return to operational sta-
tus. Dunns focus on crew
morale created a positive
command climate respon-
sible for the highest reten-
tion and lowest attrition
rates of any ship in a
major shipyard availabil-
ity for 2010.
Continuing esprit de
corps aboard Hartford, in
October, 17 Sailors from
Hartford participated in the
18th annual ING Hartford
half and full marathon.
Similar to preparing for
a marathon, training and
dedication are keys to suc-
cess. Wilkinson thanked
all guests and crew for
attending the ceremony
and emphasized these
same values and discussed
the importance of team-
work and the inherent
value each submariner is
to the command.
During my short
time on board you have
impressed me with your
talent, capability, motiva-
tion, and commitment,
said Wilkinson. Your
motivation and commit-
ment to team Hartford will
be the foundation from
which we will grow.
Wilkinson previous-
ly served aboard USS
Alabama (SSBN 731) Blue,
USS Cheyenne (SSN 773)
and USS San Francisco
(SSN 711).
Dunns next assign-
ment will be the Office
of Secretary of Defense,
Washington, D.C.
