Letter from the CO
Contact Information
LOUISIANA (GOLD) Families,
Happy July from the officers and crew of LOUISIANA
(GOLD)! The month of June flew by but was a very
successful time for the crew; many of our Sailors advanced
in rank, earning well-deserved promotions. The crew is
working hard preparing for our upcoming refit and patrol
cycle.
As we celebrate the 237th Birthday of our great republic,
this is a great time to enjoy time with friends, families and
community. The 4th of July is a celebration of who we are
as a nation and a celebration of our freedoms. I ask each of
you safely enjoy the 4th of July Holiday and thank those
who serve in uniform for what they do to preserve our
freedoms.
For notification purposes, we are sponsoring a family day
onboard the ship during the month of August. Dates were
put out at the last Family Readiness Group (FRG) meeting
and the dates will be put out to families again at the next
meeting. Family Day is a fantastic opportunity for us to
show you YOUR ship and the great Sailors who do great
work onboard. Visitors must be US citizens and children
over 6 years of age are eligible. Crewmembers will have
signup opportunities over the coming weeks and we will let
you know the request deadline to be part of the ship visit
later in July.
On behalf of the crew, thank you very much for support of
USS LOUISIANA (GOLD), our Sailors and our vital
Strategic Mission. Without your daily support and
dedication, we would not be able to do the great work our
nation demands of us.
Sincerely,
Commander Rob Peters
Commanding Officer

LOUISIANA (GOLD) Families,
Summer is here! Take advantage of the numerous activities and
services available to you and your family through MWR and Fleet and
Family. A couple things of note is the Bangor Theatre is showing kids movie’s for free on Wednesday-Friday at 1300 throughout the summer
and the Bangor pool is now open on the weekends from 1200-1600.
Please take advantage of these opportunities or they may cease to
exist.
The crew is in the pre-deployment training period; as such we are committing most of our time to trainers and getting ready for the refit
period. Now is the time to ensure we are prepared for patrol both at work and home. Will’s, Power of Attorneys’, Child care plans and bill
payment plans are a few things you should be thinking about as we get
ready to leave. Having these things done now will enable you to do what you need to while we are gone. As you may know, it may not be
possible for us to assist you at all while the ship is underway if you do
not have the appropriate paperwork. Please be proactive and make sure you get this taken care of.
The Resident Energy Conservation Program starts next month and the Privatization of Jackson Park housing town hall meeting has been
moved to 25 July. Due to furlough’s both commissaries will be closed
Monday and Tuesday from July to September. On July 1st the Base Sticker policy change will go into effect, all personnel are still
required to register their vehicles but you will not receive base stickers
as you know them anymore. Certain personnel will receive a sticker that will allow them to park in designated parking areas but they will
not be used to control access to the base. There will be spot checks to
ensure your vehicle is properly registered, if you are not and are caught on base or trying to access the base your driving privileges can
be revoked.
Thank you for the increased interest in the FRG, important information
is put out at every meeting so it is very beneficial for all to attend.
As always, I appreciate everything you do to make LOUISIANA
successful.

this opportunity to introduce ourselves.
Mindy Komar, President:
I am eager to get to work to create an awesome FRG! I
have no doubt that with the help of my fellow board

can make it a family oriented and uplifting environment
for our boat family. I’m excited to meet everyone and
hope to see you all at our next meeting! Chey Neumann, Secretary:
Hi my name is Chey Neumann and I am your new FRG
Secretary! I am so stoked to be a part of the FRG and I
am so excited to get to know all of you!
Veronica Whorton, Treasurer:
I am excited to be serving the Louisiana Gold family as
their treasurer. I want to help my fellow board members
improve the FRG and bring the families closer together
by having many opportunities for fundraising and get
togethers.
Our next meeting will be Thursday, July 11th at the
Bangor Chapel at 6:30pm. We invite everyone to bring
a dessert to share as we discuss future fundraisers and
events. Children and sailors are welcome! We have
