FFSC
GROTON, Conn. - Americans
are all abuzz these days about
the national debt. We spend
much of our time talking about
unprecedented deficits, but we
spend little or no time trying
to understand the debt and/or
plotting a realistic course to
get out of debt. Being debt free
calls for some “Real” thinking
and unpopular actions to make
it happen. We talk about debt
today as if it is always someone
else’s financial problem. All of
our bottom lines are affected by
the homeless person who will
“work for food”, the multina-
tional corporation in need of a
favorable loan or the country
that has to be bailed out to pre-
vent a total economic collapse.
Getting into financial trou-
ble is so much a part of our
daily life that no one is sur-
prised when it happens. To live
within our means and keep
our spending within boundar-
ies is often considered as an
austerity measure. Yet with-
out an active and aggressively
preventive posture, many are
lured into an untenable finan-
cial position. Whether you are
an individual, couple, family or
Solopreneur* the solution to an
unfavorable financial position
is basically the same. It’s a solu-
tion your Command Financial
Specialist (CFS) knows well.
Your CFS will tell you that
there are three options to solv-
ing financial problems and they
haven’t changed in more than a
hundred years.
They are: 1) Increase income,
2) Decrease living expenses
and/or 3) Decrease indebted-
ness. Leaders and financial
experts know these options, but
they may show reluctance to
practice these approaches due to
anticipated negative reactions.
Admittedly, it is painful and
challenging to practice sound
financial habits, but rewards
and the satisfaction of freedom
from financial debt are
immeasurable.
The action steps listed below
are some of the options that can
be used alone or in combina-
tion to reduce your financial
problems:
Increase income
Make rate/get promoted
Get a part time job
Spouse can find a job
Have a yard sale/sell posses-
sions online
Learn a new job skill
Start a home based business
Buy a franchise
Change tax withholding to
increase income to household
Decrease living expenses
Change/review your cell
phone plan or other contracts,
ask about bundling services
Join a car pool
Ask for military discounts
Clip coupons
Prepare food at home rather
than eating out
Don’t use ATMs that charge
a fee
“Do more with less”
Decrease debt
Ask/get lower interest rates
on credit cards/consumer loans
Renegotiate terms of con-
tracts.
Compare repayment terms
(biweekly vs. monthly vs. semi-
annually)
Ask about buying down your
loan interest rates
Know your fix/repair vs. buy
new break point
Seek help if debt-to-income
ratio is over 20 percent
Never co-sign for a loan and
remove your name from any co-
signed debt
When our finances become
difficult, we all need to tighten
our belts. First, be truthful with
family members and get an
honest assessment of your posi-
tion. Preaching a rosy outlook
to garner support will never
solve the problem. If the cause
of the problem is unknown
then an outside agency may
be needed to help evaluate the
problem or problems and sug-
gest a path(s) to recovery. The
resolve to stand up and do the
right thing is where we fall
short and where we need advice
and encouragement in order to
apply the right options.
When we finally focus on the
cause of our financial stress,
we can direct our energies to a
real solution and work toward
that end. Just being aware as a
buyer is not enough. We must
be informed, educated and pro-
active to protect ourselves from
financial misdeeds.
For service members and
families, obtaining financial
freedom can begin at your Fleet
and Family Support Center
(FFSC) where you can meet
with trained financial coun-
selors attuned to your unique
lifestyle. FFSC counselors are
ready to help you get back on
course and help you chart a
way out of debt and back to
financial solvency. Their focus
is not just for the here and
now, but to create with you a
realistic financial plan to help
you achieve your goals. They
can present a plan that will help
you meet current obligations as
well as a plan to develop assets
for a secure retirement. For
more information on the FFSC
Financial Counseling Program,
call DSN 694-3383 or (860)

SUBASE rocks
Kids Karnival
By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair

GROTON. Conn. – Both kids and adults could be seen running

from ride to ride during the Kids Karnival at the Naval Submarine
Base New London (SUBASE) Youth Center, May 6-8. The event,
sponsored by SUBASE Morale Welfare and Recreation, saw more
than 2,000 guests the opening weekend of May.
With more than 12 rides for children and adults, a great time
was surely had by all. Rides like the Tornado, the Sizzler, the Wild
Wind, and 1001 Nights, gave patrons the chance to have fun.
Cotton candy, balloon animals, hot dogs, and prizes, highlighted
to all that the Karnival was in town, as civilians and military mem-
bers enjoyed the festivities. And Mother Nature provided excellent
weather this year as only two quick passing rain showers intruded
on the otherwise perfect outing.
“The MWR Kids Karnival was a great opportunity for military
and civilian families to get out, enjoy the weather and get to know
their neighbors,” said SUBASE Executive Officer, Commander
Michael Pennington. “My five year-old son had the time of his
life.”
Patrons to the Karnival also had the chance to enjoy face paint-
ing, live entertainment and the SUBASE Fire Department’s Safety
house.
“The Karnival was awesome,” said Alex Gadow.” I had fun on
every ride, but 1001 Nights was my favorite.”
Besides the rides, patrons were able to play games like ring toss,
to win prizes, and once again the SUBASE MWR provided great
food for the event.
GROTON, Conn. – Children excitedly ride the circus themed train ride at the Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) Kids Karnival. Even though some rides from previous years were not there this
year, like the horse merry-go-round and the roller coaster, children
at the Karnival didn’t seem to notice.
“I had a blast at this year’s Karnival,” said eight year old Joshua
Blair. “All the rides I went on were really cool, but the pirate ship
was my favorite.”
The next big event from the folks at MWR is SUBFEST, which
will return to SUBASE in July, and once again will be open to the

s
general public.

Coast Guard.
“The extra week of training increases the esprit
de corps,” shared Navy Petty Officer 1st Class
Michael Dayton, a member of the sitting volley-
ball team. “We feed off each other’s energy, and
coming out here a week earlier has us pumped-
up and ready to show the world that we are
ready to get back in the fight.”
The team is utilizing training facilities located
at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Fort Carson, and
other local venues.

“It is paramount that the athletes adapt to the
change in altitude,” said retired Navy Chief Petty
Officer Gerald “Wayne” Williams. “We got off the
plane last year and the altitude took its toll on
us. We have trained throughout the year for this
event… but nothing compares to being here and
putting in quality work.”
“Prior to this week of practice, the group had
only come together two other times,” said retired
Navy Master Chief Petty Officer James Wilson,
team co-captain and Navy Safe Harbor adaptive
athletics program coordinator. “Their first meet-
ing was in December for the Adaptive Athletics
Training Camp. They met two-months later in
February for the Training and Selection Camp.
At the conclusion of the camp the members of
Team Navy/Coast Guard were announced. Each
member of the team departed and began his or
her training regimen.”
The warriors do not only train for themselves.
They train, they say, to give hope to other service
members that have been seriously wounded, ill,
or injured.
“The Warrior Games is about hearing other
people stories and it builds camaraderie,” said
Dewalt. “I get out of the bed in the morning and

wounded, ill, and injured service members from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Warrior Games is the culminating event to our
adaptive activities. It is a great program, because
it allows us to focus on our possibilities and not
our disabilities.”
The members of Team Navy/Coast Guard plan
to excel in competition next week, but they agree
that the Games are about much more than medal
counts.
“It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things
if we bring home any hardware,” said Wilson.
“As long as we bring these young men and
women home with purpose, drive, and renewed
faith in themselves then we have fulfilled our
purpose. It is all about recovery, rehabilitation,
and reintegration. We will not be left behind.”
Because of this spirit the word “wounded” has
been purposely excluded from the title of the
competition.
“I like the concept, because we don’t see our
injuries,” said Dayton. “We see our spirit. We
have a winning spirit. We are not victims; we
are victors.”
The team is sponsored by Navy Safe Harbor, the
Navy’s lead organization for coordinating the non-
medical care of wounded, ill, and injured Sailors,
Coast Guardsmen, and their families. Through
proactive leadership, Safe Harbor provides a life-
time of individually tailored assistance designed
to optimize the success of enrollees’ recovery,
rehabilitation, and reintegration activities.

event, “A Gothic Knight,” will take place June 17

The 15th Century battlefield saw both the

will witness how weapons of the period func-
tioned and were used, includes a hands-on dem-
onstration of historical combat techniques.
Renaissance Fair
The Society for Creative Anachronism
East Kingdom
Every person plays a part in creating the atmo-
sphere and participates in whatever activities
and studies they find interesting, July 16 from 1
to 4 p.m., during a Renaissance Fair. For some
this means making period clothing. For others
it means learning calligraphy, armored combat,
fencing, archery, dancing or countless other
activities that interest them.

“The Kingdom of Riddles,” a puppet show, will
take place Aug. 12 at 1 p.m. The show is a posi-
tive experience with lots of audience participa-
tion, and is family oriented for children.

Weekend of visiting tugboats, demonstrations,

and family activities at Mystic Seaport
Visiting tugboats, special
activities, and toy tugboat
building will highlight the
third “TUGS!” Blast weekend
at Mystic Seaport, May 21 and
22, from 9.a.m. to 5 p.m.
An outgrowth of the
Museum’s “TUGS!” exhibit, the
weekend is designed as a fam-
ily-friendly event with fun, tug-
themed activities for all ages.
Visitors will be invited to
climb aboard the CORNELL, a
restored railroad tug that once
shuttled barges of railcars
across New York Harbor. Other
vessels include Gwenmore
Marine’s GWENDOLYN, and
the always popular mini-
tugs TOOT TOOT, ATLANTIC
HUNTER II, and SEAHORSE.
The mini-tugs will be con-
ducting special demonstra-
tions throughout the day.
The Museum’s tugboat pool
will open for the season, giv-
ing visitors of all ages the
opportunity to take the helm
of a radio-controlled model
and try their hand as captain.
Children are invited to
story time in the Children’s
Museum, featuring every-
one’s favorite little tug, “Little
Toot,” and they can build
a wooden tugboat keepsake
(nominal fee for the toy boat
workshop). Additionally,
visitors can take part in a
variety of hands-on activi-
ties throughout the weekend
including a heaving-line toss,
friendly games of tug-of-war,
and printing a special tugboat
handbill.
The weekend is a celebra-
tion of the Museum’s “TUGS!”
exhibit, an exploration of the
past, present and future of the
tug, tow, and barge industry.
The exhibit features custom-
created videos, rare images
and artifacts, and a simulator
where one can take the helm
of a busy tugboat. “TUGS!”
can be found in the R.J.
Schaefer Exhibit Hall.
