GROTON, Conn. For
70 years dogs of all breeds
have served in the United
States Armed Forces, from
WWII and Korea to the
Global War on Terrorism,
dogs have served faithful-
ly. They have been scouts,
sentrys, bomb and drug
detectors, lookouts and
much more, always serving
along side their handlers and
becoming an indispensible
part of the military.
On March 13, 1942, the
U.S. Army created the K-
9 Corps, enlisting dogs
to help with sentry duty,
search out explosives, and
even scout ahead of troops.
By 1944 the initial allowed
breeds had been cut down
to seven, including German
Shepherds, Doberman
Pinschers, Siberian huskies,
farm collies and Malamutes.
Serving with distinction
in the European and Pacific
theaters, the early K-9s
saved lifes and added a new
ability to ground forces.
After WWII, the military
police took control of the
working dog program.

Base readies for support activity closure,
traffic impacts during exercise next week
By Navy New London
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - Naval
Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) is clos-
ing several base support
activities and anticipating
some local traffic impacts
as it participates in a
Navywide security train-
ing exercise next week.
SUBASE may increase its
Force Protection Condition
as part of the annual exer-
cise, titled Solid Curtain/
Citadel Shield, taking
place March 19-24.
The Force Protection
Condition increase,
expected to occur March
22-24, will limit access to
the base and may result in
some local traffic impacts
due to increased vehicle
inspections and security
measures.
In an effort to limit
backup at the gates during
March 22-24, were closing
some of our base support
activities that family mem-
bers and retirees often fre-
quent, said Commander
Mike Pennington, SUBASE
Executive Officer. Were
urging people to stay
away from the base on
those dates unless it is
absolutely necessary.
The Commissary, Navy
Exchange, Fleet and
Family Support Center,
and most on-base Morale,
Welfare and Recreation
(MWR) facilities will be
closed.
The only on-base
MWR facilities that will
be open are Morton Hall
Gymnasium, the Liberty
Center, and Reunions
bowling complex; but,
these facilities will not
be conducting any sched-
uled classes or organized
events.
Additionally, SUBASEs
Housing Office will be
closed March 23 and the
Personnel Support Activity
Detachment (PSAD) will
be offering limited servic-
es. The PSAD recommends
personnel telephone their
customer service desk at
(860) 694-2768 to verify
service availability.
Naval Branch Health
Clinic Groton will be han-
dling acute care cases only
for active duty service
members.
Off base, the Child
Development Center, the
Dolphin Mart, and the
Navy Lodge will be open
for normal business.
Members of our Navy
New London community
who have questions or
concerns about a support
activity, and its status dur-
ing the exercise, should
call that activity now and
find out, Pennington
said.
SUBASE will also insti-
tute a Mission Essential
Personnel (MEP) measure
during the Force Protection
Condition increase.
For SUBASE, only
people essential to secur-
ing the base and getting
submarines to sea would
come to work, said
Pennington.
The MEP measure
should aid in helping alle-
viate congestion at base
entrances, as non-MEP will
be encouraged, but not
required, to remain away
from the base March 23.
Conducted at Naval
bases and installations
throughout the continen-
tal United States, Exercise
Solid Curtain/Citadel
Shield 2012 is not in
response to any specific
threat, but is a regularly-
scheduled, security train-
ing exercise coordinated
by Commander, U.S.
Fleet Forces Command
and Commander, Naval
Installations Command.
Earth Day Challenge is fast approaching

this year, and once again,
Naval Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) chal-
lenges local commands and
activities to make a differ-
ence by thinking globally
and acting locally through
the fifth annual Earth Day

array of environmentally
focused community out-
reach events in honor of
earth day. In all, more than
1,400 hours of volunteer
time were contributed to
the projects.
This year, SUBASE, will
again be partnering with
regional state parks, towns
and local land conservancies
to undertake environmental
stewardship projects.
Your help is needed to
participate in work crews
assisting our local land
managers to clean-up trails
and shorelines, pick up
debris and remove inva-
sive plant species. Projects
are available to all levels
of physical ability and you
will be helping the environ-
ment and supporting your
local communities at the
same time.
During the week of April
16 through 22, SUBASE
hopes to put at least 10
work crews out in the local
area. Projects, dates, and
hours are flexible to accom-
modate your schedules.
As Earth Day 2012
approaches, join us in
thinking globally and act-
ing locally to protect our
environment and improve
our planet. Consider taking
part in a good cause; par-
ticipate in the fifth annual
SUBASE NLON Earth Day
challenge! Dont be the last
command on your block to
sign up.

But, as far as Im con-
cerned, its a team award.
Im very fortunate to be
part of this team and to
work with very talented
people who see their jobs
as helping others succeed
in theirs.
Rodgers selfless dedica-
tion has helped make her
a stand-out SLC employ-
ee. For her selection
as Civilian of the Year,

this commands mission.
She is the consummate

true professional in every
phase of her job!

Jon Houser added, Mrs.
Rodgers is a stellar per-
former in a department
that helps make every
other aspect of the SLC
possible. She has rou-
tinely gone above and
beyond the scope of her
assigned duties. Her selec-
tion as our SLC Civilian of
the Year is well deserved.
Her dedication, perfor-
mance and profession-
alism are what we have
come to expect from our
staff.

Caring and Sharing Program donates canned food items to local food bank

GROTON, Conn.
- Caring and Sharing
Program coordinators at
Naval Submarine Base
New London donated
nearly 500 pounds of
canned food items to the
Gemma E. Moran United
Way Labor Food Center in
Groton, March 2.
The Caring and Sharing
Program donates canned
food items not used in
the annual prepared boxes
provided to Sailors and
their families during the
holiday season.
Legalman 1st Class Ru Li,
assigned to Commander,
Submarine Group 2, over-
sees the annual program
and reflected on continu-
ing the tradition of sup-
porting the local commu-
nity.
Last years Caring and
Sharing Program was a
big success in that we
helped nearly 400 Sailors
and their families by pro-
viding them Thanksgiving
and Christmas meals in
a box, said Li. This is
a wonderful opportunity
to carry our program for-
ward by assisting others
who may be in need.
The Caring and Sharing
Program was launched in
the early 1990s and has
continued its long history
of offering assistance to
Sailors and their fami-
lies during the holidays.
This annual program will
continue this proud tradi-
tion later this year when
the donation collection
resumes in November.
Theres a lot of work
and volunteers that go
toward making this pro-
gram a success, said Li.
Its a long commitment,
but worth it.

Sales topped the 5-mil-

January, according to agency

environmentally friendly

world. Styles range from
polypropylene woven mesh
bags to thermal totes.

this green initiative over
the years, said Defense
Commissary Agency
Director and CEO Joseph
H. Jeu.
At around a buck for a
standard mesh bag, DeCA
helps make going green
budget friendly. They were
introduced in October 2007,
although thermal bags were
available two years prior.
The bags can handle up to
30 pounds of groceries, are
washable and can be recy-
cled when no longer usable.
Customers can usually find
these bags on racks near the
checkout at their local com-
missary.
Reusing bags saves the
commissary money, which
helps preserve the benefit
by keeping operating costs
down costs paid with tax-
payer dollars, Jeu said.

be replicated by man or

GROTON, Conn.
March is nationally
recognized as Womens
History Month. The
important role that
women have played in
the history of the United
States is evident in many
ways especially in the
United States Navy.
Although women serve
in almost every aspect of
todays Navy, it was not
that long ago that it was
quite a different story.
Before the official
establishment of the Navy
Nurse Corps in 1908,
women played a vital role
serving as nurses during
the Civil War, although
their duties and responsi-
bilities were more close-
ly aligned with those of
Hospital Corpsman than
a nurse. Several African
American women were
noted to have served as
paid nurses aboard the
hospital ship Red Rover
on the Mississippi River.
In addition, volunteer
nuns from the Catholic
Sisters of the Holy Cross
served aboard as nurses.
Following the Civil and
Spanish Wars of the late
1800s, the United States
Navy officially estab-
lished the Navy Nurse
Corps on May 13, 1908.
Following this Act of
Congress, twenty women
were selected to attend
the Naval Medical School
in Washington, D.C. The
Navy did not supply room
or board for them so they
had to rent their own
houses and provide their
own meals.
During the early 1900s
the primary roles of
women in the Navy were
as Yeomen and Nurses.
In 1945, the world was
at war and when there is
war, there are casualties.
The United States needed
an all-hands effort to
support the allies and win
the war. Women became
an important asset to that
cause. Whether working
in war factories stateside
or overseas tending to
the wounded and sick,
the sacrifices made by
so many women helped
to squash tyranny and
defend democracy.
Post World War II, the
opportunities for women
to serve in different
aspects of the Navy had
opened drastically. In
1974, six women earned
their wings and became
the Navys first female
aviators.
October 24, 1978, the
Navy began assigning
women to ships. Women
were stationed onboard
non-combat ships perma-
nently and allowed tem-
porary duty to ships that
would not see combat.
Although not a naval
officer, Air Force Lt. Col.
Eileen Collins became
the first female to pilot a
space station in July 1991.
This milestone opened up
many opportunities for
woman to contribute to
space exploration.
Traditionally the
Navys submarine com-
munity has been a
male only environment
and up until April 29,
2010, women were not
authorized to serve on
board submarines. At
Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE),
female officers are given
the opportunity to go
through Submarine
Officers Basic Course
(SOBC) and eventually
be stationed onboard a
submarine.
Today women in the
United States Navy serve
in nearly every capacity
on ships, in the air, and
under the sea at various
command facilities and
bases. Their contribu-
tion to the operational
Navy is no longer an
oddity; it is a necessity
for the Navy to do its
business in defense of
the nation.

Lieutenant Commander Joy Bright Hancock, one of the first eight women commissioned in the regular Navy, poses with Lieutenant Eunice
Whyte in 1943.
The first and only woman to receive
the Medal of Honor was Dr. Mary E.
Walker, during the Civil War.
Annie G. Fox was the first woman to
receive the Purple Heart, during the
attack on Pearl Harbor.
Loretta Walsh was the first woman to
enlist in the Navy. She enlisted as a
Yeoman in March 1917.
Commander Darlene Iskra became the
first woman to command a U.S. Navy
ship in 1990, USS Opportune (ARS 41).

Choreographed in two
acts, in this well known
rags to riches story,
Cinderella attends the
princes ball and finds the
love of her lifewith the
help of a magical fairy
godmother and her friends
the mice and birds, all
in spite of two cruel but
delightfully hilarious step-
sisters. The stepsisters are
performed by men, after
the tradition of Londons
Royal Ballet.
Macedonian danc-
er Marco Micov and
Nicaraguan Isidro
Sequeira portray the step
sisters, and channel their
inner mean girl with
the help of their outland-
ish costumes. The torture
of performing in heels
has given the men new
respect for their female
counterparts.
Add tall wigs, false eye-
lashes, corsets and hoop
skirts to the mix and the
men are baffled that balle-
rinas can walk a straight
line. It takes makeup art-
istry, and precious time to
convert each danseur into
a belle of the ball. Once
transformed, the two use
uproarious antics, deter-
mined to get their prince.
Margarita Hoelper as the
title role is swept off her
feet and into the arms of a
handsome prince portrayed
by Aleksander Subotic,
before the clock chimes
midnight and brings a sud-
den end to the party.
Mystic Ballet will pres-
ent the fairy tale classic
Cinderella in three per-
formances, March 24,
31 and April 7, at the
Mashantucket Pequot
Museum Auditorium.
Performance times are
Saturdays at 2 p.m. The
run time is 1 and hour
including intermission,
perfect for children and
families.
Ticket prices range from
$15 to 40. Reserved seat
tickets may be purchased
online at www.mysticbal-
let.org or by telephone at
(860) 536-3671.

USS Constitution Public Affairs
C H A R L E S T O WN ,
Mass. - USS Constitution
officially opened its 2012
lottery program to the pub-
lic from the ships berth
in Charlestown, Mass.,
March 1.
The lottery drawing
selects 150 winners to ride
Constitution for her annu-
al July 4th turnaround
cruise.
It is alway great to
show Constitution to the
public, but especially dur-
ing a turnaround cruise
and the lottery allows us to
do that in a fair manner,
said Commander Matt
Bonner, Constitutions
72nd commanding officer.
And this years cruise has
the added bonus of the
Coast Guard Barque Eagle
joining us and the Blue
Angels flying over both
ships -I cannot think of
a better way to celebrate
Independence Day.
After the drawing, win-
ners will receive a ticket
signifying their selection
and eligibility to embark.
Tickets are non-transfer-
rable to other individu-
als with no exceptions.
Winners will also be
allowed to bring one guest,
and all winners and guests
must be in good health
and be between the ages
of 8 and 70.
Entries can be made by
completing the entry form
and returning it by e-mail
or mail. The lottery will
close April 27, and the
drawing will be held April
30.
I think this is a great
opportunity for the pub-
lic to be a part of this
ships great history, said
Logistics Specialist 2nd
Class (SW/AW) Johnny
Janica, Constitution. Its
a great way to see our mis-
sion here on Constitution.
Along with it being a spe-
cial time for the ship, this
year marks the bicenten-
nial of the War of 1812.
The July 4th turn-
around cruise celebrates
the nations birthday with
a salute to the nation by
Constitution firing a 21-
gun salute exchange with
Fort Independence locat-
ed on Castle Island. The
voyage is about 4.5 miles
total, typically lasting
three hours.
To enter the lottery
or for more information
on the lottery program,
visit http://www.history.
navy.mil/ussconstitution/
Lottery.html.
Constitution is the
worlds oldest commis-
sioned warship afloat. She
defended the sea lanes
against threat from 1797
to 1855, much like the
mission of todays Navy.
Constitutions mission
today is to offer communi-
ty outreach and education
about the ships history,
as it welcomes more than
535,000 visitors per year.

8 THE DOLPHIN Thursday, March 15, 2012
By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn.
Since its founding in
1881, the America Red
Cross has been provid-
ing aid to people in need.
From disaster relief and
Humanitarian care for
victims of war to support
and comfort for military
members and their fami-
lies and the collection,
processing and distribu-
tion of lifesaving blood
and blood products.
The American Red
Cross has responded to
more than 20 major natu-
ral and man-made disas-
ters throughout its histo-
ry, including Hurricanes
Andrew, Charley and
Katrina, the Oklahoma
City bombing, the 9/11
Attacks, and earthquakes
in California and Alaska.
Many relief efforts have
taken their volunteers
around the world to
places like Haiti, Japan,
Indonesia, Turkey, and
Cuba.
Though the American
Red Cross takes donations
in the form of cash or sup-
plies, the one item they
always need more than
anything else is blood.
Personnel with the type
O blood positive or nega-
tive are asked to donate
whenever possible. Type
O is the universal donor
and it can be given to
anyone with type A, B,
AB or O blood.
Every two seconds
someone in the U.S. needs
blood, and unlike most
things we use everyday it
cannot be manufactured,
it can only come from
generous donors.
More than 38,000 blood
donations are needed
every day. A person has
about 12 pints of blood
in their body, and dur-
ing a blood drive, donors
give only about one pint.
A single car accident vic-
tim may require as many
as 100 pints of blood.
More than one million
new people are diagnosed
with cancer each year.
Many of them will need
blood, sometimes daily,
during their chemothera-
py treatment.
The blood used in an
emergency is already on
the shelves before an
event occurs. Donated
blood is screened for
HIV, Hepatitus B and C,
and other infectous dis-
eases before it is released
to hospitals. From regis-
tration to donation, the
entire process takes about
an hour, and any infor-
mation you give to the
American Red Cross dur-
ing the donation process
is confidential. It may
not be released without
your permission except
as directed by law.
Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE)
holds numerous blood
drives with the American
Red Cross every year, take
time to give the gift of
life. You never know, the
life you help save may be
someone you know, or
even your own.

Seaman Apprentice Curtis Richardson (left, background) were among the students who contributed 64 productive units
to Naval Submarine Schools Quarterly Blood Drive, in support of Connecticut Blood Services of the American Red Cross.
Connecticut Blood Services of the American Red Cross require approximately 600 pints of blood every day.

March is Red Cross
Month. The American
Red Cross invites those
who are eligible to
donate blood in March
and join the Red Cross
helping to save lives.
Blood helps save the
lives of patients in hospi-
tals across Connecticut.
One blood donation can
help save up to three
lives.
Every two seconds,
someone in this country
needs blood. Thousands
of blood donations are
needed each and every
day to meet the needs
of accident victims, can-
cer patients, and children
with blood disorders.
These patients and others
rely on lifesaving blood
products during their
treatments and rely on
the generosity of volun-
teer blood donors. Blood
has a limited shelf life
and blood supplies must
constantly be replen-
ished.
Call (800) RED CROSS
((800) 733-2767) or visit
redcrossblood.org to find
a convenient blood drive
location near you and to
make an appointment.
Potential blood donors
must be 17 years of age,
meet weight and height
requirements (110 pounds
or more, depending on
their height) and be in
generally good health.
People should bring their
Red Cross blood donor
card or other form of pos-
itive ID when they come
to donate. Eligible donors
can give whole blood
every 56 days.
