MILLINGTON, Tenn. - With the high cost of the summer vacation sea-son right around the cor-ner, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) leaders remind Sailors to be wary of predatory lend-ing practices.

According to Holly Petraeus, assistant direc-tor of the CFPB Office of

Service Member Affairs, the number of service members affected by pred-atory lending acts is hard to measure.

“It can be embarrass-ing to go and tell some-body that you got ripped off,” said Petraeus. “It’s so common for Sailors to walk into (a financial counselor) with signifi-cant financial problems that unfortunately have gotten really severe by the time they walk in and ask to see a counselor.”

Predatory loans are usually small, short-term arrangements designed to bridge cash-strapped bor-rowers until their next paycheck. However, they are expensive, high-inter-est loans that often cost $10 to $44 dollars per week per $100 dollars bor-rowed, plus fees. If a loan is not paid at the origi-nal payment due date and rolled-over multiple times, it can lead to a situation where most Sailors cannot pay off the loan.

Financial difficulties can threaten a service member’s security clear-ance and career. Petraeus said addressing financial issues openly can work to a Sailor’s advantage.

Petraeus recently met with Mid-South and Navy Personnel Command (NPC) leadership and spoke to Sailors about how to make informed consumer decisions.

She discussed the Military Lending Act, which provides some

protection for active duty service members, active National Guard or reserve personnel, and their depen-dents against the type of predatory loans that are commonly found outside the gates of bases.

Petraeus said service members may appeal to predatory lenders because they have a guaranteed source of income.

Motorcycle safety top priority for DoD leadersBy Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall, Jr.

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON - Preventing motorcycle accidents and fatalities remains a top priority for Defense Department (DoD) leaders, a senior defense official said, May 4, with

training and awareness reducing the number of incidents.

“We had seen fatalities and accidents increas-ing as motorcycle own-ership increased,” Joseph Angello, DoD’s director of operational readiness and safety, told the Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service. In

2008, the peak year for fatalities, he added, 124 service members died in motorcycle accidents.

“Since that time - through training, through emphasis, through lead-ership [and] through the phenomenal work of our military services - we’ve brought that number down,” he said. “We lost

92 [service members] last year, and this year our trends look like we will be at that level or less.”

Every loss is tragic and affects spouses, parents other family members, the service member’s unit and the Defense Department, Angello said.

“We don’t want anyone to lose their life in a motor-

cycle accident,” he said. “We want them to drive safe - we want them to wear protective gear - hel-mets, appropriate shoes, appropriate attire, and leathers, but sometimes, the best protection against a motorcycle accident is awareness, training and control. That’s your best protection.”

As a motorcycle rider since age 11, Angello said, he knows how much fun riding can be. But it’s important for riders to respect the fact that motor-cycles also are inherently dangerous, he added.

“It takes effort to ride a motorcycle properly,” he said. “Accidents happen in the blink of an eye, [and] those mistakes are unfor-giving.” Riders who ride safely 99 times out of 100, he added, can experience a “high regret factor” the one time they don’t.

The director noted motorcycle training is mandatory for all DoD personnel. In addition, military personnel are required to wear person-al protective equipment, such as long sleeves, eye protection and helmets, even if they are in a “no-helmet” state.

“If you are a military member and you want to ride a motorcycle, you must have the training,” said Angello. “Each of our services - a lot of them are common courses - have a basic motorcycle safety course. You must take it or a refresher course, an advanced rider course, or a sports bike course.”

WATERFORD, Conn. – Boatswains Mate First Class (SW/AW) David Klopper speaks with Edith Pineault during the Senior’s Prom at the New London Rehab Center in Waterford, May 16. Sailors from several commands at Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) volunteered to spend time and dance with residents at the center. Pineault said that it meant a lot to her and the other residents for the Sailors to come and spend time with them. “We often times are really bored here and it is so nice to see all these well dressed men and women spending time with us,” said Pineault.

GROTON, Conn. – Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) takes great pride in sharing our base and interacting with the local community, “Our com-munity”. We encourage access to the base for all types of events and programs. However, several steps must be taken to ensure the safety of all visitors.

Personnel possessing the following access credentials have unescorted access to SUBASE New London.

(1) The DoD CAC. (2) DoD Uniformed Services Identification and

Privileges Cards(3) USG-issued, authenticated Federal PIV creden-

tials. (4) TWIC.(5) Naval Reactors CACAll of these personnel are considered “Trusted

Travelers “. Only a DoD CAC holder can escort others on to the installation. Personnel that are visiting and do not have access must be either escorted or vetted for unescorted access while visiting the base. This includes contractors, taxi companies, delivery services and many more.

Commands that require services for their operations must request unescorted access for these personnel. Tenant commands will be required to submit a let-ter of designation for individuals assigned the task of Trusted Agent (TA). The TA will submit requests for access via the SUBASE Pass and ID organizational box.

Subasenlon_pass_ID@navy.mil The e-mail must contain the full name, organization

to be visited and dates of visit. The TA will then call Pass and ID at (860) 694-3224 or (860) 694-4030 to pro-vide the Social Security Number and date of birth. The individual coming to visit the installation may also call directly to provide their personal information. Encrypted e-mail cannot be sent to an organizational box, therefore it is required to have the information passed via phone, in person or via encrypted e-mail to the Pass and ID clerk providing you assistance with your visitors.

Contact SUBASE Access Control Officer, Linda Brown, (860) 694-5395 or (860) 694-4446 for questions on how to designate your Command Trusted Agent (TA).

The normal vetting process can take up to five working days to be cleared thorough the required data base checks that are conducted at the Regional Visitor Control Center in Norfolk, Va.

Special circumstances for unescorted access such as Change of Command, large tours, commission-ing, retirements, etc. will require special arrange-ments to be made to allow unescorted access for these events. To meet the intent of Directive Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-012, Interim Policy Guidance for DoD Physical Access Control” and the COMNAVREGMIDLANTINST 5530.14, dated 16 Mar 2012; the security department will require the same information identified above in order vet individuals for access.

These lists must be received from an approved source “Command TA” or in person by a “trusted Traveler” to ensure their authenticity.

GROTON, Conn. – Naval Submrine School (SUBSCOL) Chaplain, Captain Jane Viera, speaks to members of the Holland Club at the SUBVETS clubhouse in Groton, May 15. Viera was invited to join a special luncheon in which she was honored for her 16 years out of 33 years of service in ministry in the submarine community. SUBSCOL Command Master Chief (SS) Glen Kline spoke briefly to those attending the lunch, “It is remarkable to honor Chaplain Viera here today and how fitting that she has the same number of years in ministry as our Great Shepard.”

GROTON, Conn. – When many people think of sea mines, they may recall scenes from “Destination Tokyo” where an American submarine is navigating the depths of the sea trying to carefully avoid mines that had been laid by the enemy at the time, the Japanese.

Although mine warfare may not get a prominent place in the lime light of today’s Naval warfare

techniques or maritime threats, mines are still a credible threat to our Navy and maritime operations.

Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) served as an exercise site for Sailors, Coastguardsmen, and members of the Canadian Navy in the bina-tional exercise “Frontier Sentinel”, held earlier this month.

The exercise enacted a situation involving envi-ronmental terrorists and the planting of mines in the water of the Thames

River here in Groton and also in the harbor of Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. The exercise helped prepare the sea services of both nations to work with and counter a mine threat.

U.S. Navy Captain Dominic DeSciscilo, the exercise mine warfare commander, and direc-tor, Mine Warfare Battle Staff at Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command, based in San Diego, said that while he didn’t expect either mili-

tary force to encounter mines in everyday opera-tions, it was “certainly in the realm of possibili-ties.”

Speaking about the strong ties between U.S. and Canadian naval forc-es, DeSciscilo described the special relation-ship that the two navies share.

“We have for many, many years worked together very effectively,” said DeSciscilo. “This gave us an opportunity to improve.”

GROTON, Conn. - A Catholic priest who pro-vides services to the Catholic community at Naval Submarine Base New London’s Chapel of the Thames presented 12 “Sunday Prayer Books” to the Naval Submarine Base New London chaplain’s office in Groton, May 10.

The donated prayer books will be provided to the lay leaders currently serving aboard attack submarines stationed in New London.

“This will provide the lay leaders with the materials to be able to pray in union with the entire Catholic commu-nity on Sundays during their deployments,” said Reverend Tom Hoar, who celebrates Catholic Mass Sundays and holy days at the submarine base.

The books were donat-ed to Hoar by the Father Murphy Council of the Knights of Columbus of Mystic. Hoar added that these books contain all of the readings and prayers for each Sunday that the Catholic community uses throughout the world.

“This gift is a wonder-ful demonstration of giv-ing and speaks to the strong bonds between our Navy and local com-munity,” said Lieutenant Shaun Kennedy, Naval Submarine Support Center New London. “It also demonstrates their ongo-ing support for the spiri-tual lives and needs of the submariners during their deployments.”

Lay leaders on board a submarine provide religious services, in the absence of a chaplain, for their par-ticular faith group.

Kennedy added that Sailors considering volun-

teering for a lay leader program are required to complete the following criteria for appointment: Interview by the command chaplain or, if no com-mand chaplain, a chaplain in the unit’s chain of com-mand; recommendation from a division officer, leading chief petty offi-cer, or department head; approval by the member’s ecclesiastical body; com-pletion of the lay leader training program; recom-mendation from the inter-viewing chaplain to the commanding officer, and appointment in writing by the commanding officer.

The Navy and Marine Corps developed the sports bike course in 2008 and shared it through the Defense Safety Oversight Council Private Motor Vehicle Task Force.

“Sports bikes are phenomenal pieces of engineering, with power-to-weight ratios like we’ve never seen before,” said Angello. “As a result, they are very dangerous. If ridden properly, it’s enjoyment - it’s fun. But they are unforgiving.”

Numerous deployments over the last decade have had an impact on the number of ser-vice members involved in motorcycle accidents, Angello said.

“We have noted, and other studies have noted, there is an increase in motorcycle acci-dents when people return from deployment,” he said. “Our data shows [it happens] particu-larly within the first year when returning from deployment.”

Theories as to why these fatalities are occurring include service members not having the opportunity to ride a motorcycle during deployment, or the change in driving conditions when they’re back home, Angello said.

“Others talk of theories such as, ‘you become ‘bulletproof’ from your experience in theater, and you take more risks at home,’” he said. “Whatever the cause, we in DoD are taking it very seriously. When people return from deployment, our leaders are ensuring people get trained.”

Angello, who noted he has taken motorcycle training himself, urged all service members to take advantage of “some of the best training offered in this nation.”

“Right now, the courses are for service members,” he said. “Some of the installations, on a space-available basis, make arrangements for family members. However, any military member who has a dependent who wants to ride a motorcycle - they should be trained.”

Angello lauded military leaders for their commitment to addressing motorcycle safety for having “offered courses that make a difference in people’s lives,” and urged all military mem-bers to be ready to ride, just as they are ready for the mission when they serve in uniform.

“Ready to ride - right equipment, right training, right conditions,” he said. “Keep your awareness up, and you’re ready to ride.

auto title loans and tax refund anticipation loans to military on active duty and their dependents at an annual rate of 36 percent,” said Petraeus. “That sounds high, I know, but the average payday loan is actually about 390 percent.”

The Military Lending Act defines payday loans as loans of closed-end credit, 91 days or less, and less than $2,000 dollars. It defines auto title loans as loans of closed-end credit that are 181 days or less.

“The problem ... is that some folks have just changed the definition of their product enough to get outside of that law,” said Petraeus. “So you’ll see some sites online advertising that type of loan that will say right on there, ‘we’re not subject to the Military Lending Act because our loan is for more than 90 days.’”

Sailors experiencing financial challenges should notify their chain of command and work with their command financial specialist (CFS) to develop a budget and explore additional options, such as military relief societies, eligibility for interest rate reductions and other relief.

MONTVILLE, Conn. – Members of Navy Team New London, veterans and civilians alike gathered in Montville, May 20, to pay homage to the men and women of the Armed Forces who have paid the ulti-mate price for freedom. Prior to the annual parade, the town of Montville honored the fallen with a wreath laying and gun salute. In all, more than 100 members of the military in Southeastern Connecticut marched in the parade.

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day began in 1868 following the Civil War to honor the fallen Union Soldiers; later it would be changed to include all service men and women who have died in service to the United States. More than 30 million men and women have served in the Armed Forces of

the United States, with more than 1,300,000 have died defending the nation and another 1,500,000 have been wounded.

“From the most junior Sailors, to the Chief’s and senior officers in command we all strive to represent you, America’s citizens as the United States Navy,” said Naval Submarine Base New London Commanding Officer, Captain Marc Denno. “I think I can safely speak for all of SUBASE Sailors present when I say that we could not be prouder to be among the service members, veterans, and the patriotic Americans here today.”

There were numerous speakers during the cer-emony, including state and local government repre-sentatives, each person shared a little piece of what Memorial Day means to them. For Mohegan Tribal Chief Lynn ‘Many Hearts’ Malerba, the day has per-sonal connections as her father and grandfather both

served in the military. Her father served as a subma-riner during WWII.

“On behalf of our Mohegan tribal nation, we all give thanks and honor to our men and women who have served in our Military,” said Chief Malerba. “Some of whom gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives. I also give thanks and honor to their families who stead-fastly supported them and sacrificed their time with their loved ones for the benefit of all of us.”

Chief Malerba pointed out during her speech that Native Americans and Alaskan natives have served in the United States military at higher rates than any other group. However, she stressed that citizens of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to all members of the mili-tary past and present, no matter their national origin.

“We owe every person serving in the military our unending gratitude for protecting our freedom,” said Malerba.

As the parade began, 32 Chief Petty Officers, 12 mem-bers of the Naval Submarine School Silver Dolphins honor guard, 54 Sailors from Basic Enlisted Submarine School, and 20 Soldiers from the Connecticut National Guard marched alongside local fire and rescue vehi-cles, veterans groups honoring those who served.

Submarine Force Library & Museum and Historic Ship Nautilus Command Master Chief Kerry Meng served as parade Marshal for the event.

“It is my honor to be the grand marshal for the Montville parade,” said Master Chief Meng. “I am honored to be in the presence of so many fellow vet-erans.”

Captain Denno summed up the importance of cer-emonies and parades like this as he concluded his speech.

“The presence of people here today show’s that Memorial Day is much more than the unofficial start of summer…It is a day to remember and honor those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice in sup-port of us, our nation and our ideals,” said Denno. “Montville keeps this close to heart the whole year, and today it shines especially bright.”

GROTON, Conn. - Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) Sailors understand the importance of being a positive figure in the com-munity and extending a hand of volunteer ser-vice whenever they are given the opportunity.

Sunday, May 20, SUBASE Sailors spent the day at Stonington High School to take part in the third annual Special Olympic Regional Games.

Special Olympics is the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intel-lectual disabilities, providing year-round train-ing and competitions to more than 3.7 million athletes in more than 170 countries.

Athletes throughout the day took part in track and field events such as shot put, javelin throw-ing, and racing events. The entire event began at eight in the morning and concluded around four in the afternoon.

Many of the volunteers said that they really enjoyed being a volunteer at the event and help-ing the athletes. Information Systems Technician Aisha Cameron, Sailor assigned to SUBASE Base Consolidated Telecommunications (BCT), said that it was really fun.

“It felt good and I liked the energy and how excited they were to do everything,” said Cameron. “All of them had such a big heart.”

Independent Film Series at GPLThe final film in this year’s Independent Film Series,

“Before Your Eyes”, will be shown June 1 at 7 p.m. The film was made in Turkey and Germany and is in Turkish and Kurdish with English Subtitles. It runs for 101 minutes. “Before Your Eyes” is about ten-year-old Gulistan and her younger brother Firat living happily with their parents in Diyarbakir, the heart of Turkish Kurdistan. Tragedy strikes when their mother and father are shot down by paramilitary gunmen before their eyes. Traumatized and orphaned, Gulistan, Firat and their infant sister are placed in the care of their young, politically-active aunt Yekbun who soon dis-appears without a trace. As days turn into weeks, the money that their aunt left them runs out. Eventually, the children have to fend for themselves on the streets, where one day, Gulistan is shocked to come across the murderer of her parents. The Independent Film Series will resume in the fall.
