Most visitors would know theDisplay Ship Barry on theWashing-ton Navy Yard as a place to visit ahistoric Navy vessel and gain knowl-edge about the sea services fromyears past. Personnel and volun-teers at the National Museum of theU.S. Navy treated guests to a slightlyscarier version of the ship by adorn-ing its interiors with Halloween dec-orations and turning the DisplayShip Barry into the "Ghost Ship Bar-ry" Oct. 19.

"The Ghost Ship Barry is an eventwhere once a year, the crew of theship and some additional volunteers'haunt out' the ship and make it intoa haunted mansion that floats, if youwill," said Karin Hill, director of edu-cation and public programs at theNational Museum of the U.S. Navy."The Museum has Halloween-themed craft activities, and thenfolks will check in and receive a ticketbefore a staff member will walkgroups over to the Barry. They walkthrough the ship, and then theycome back over here to the museumand do more craft activities."

Servicemembers and civiliansalike were invited to participate inactivities such as goodie bag makingand frame decorating before theBarry tours began. Hill explainedthat for the first two hours of theevent, haunted tours of the Barrywere held for children ages 12 andyounger, and the last two hourswere for visitors 12 and older.

"At the beginning we give toursfor the little guys; what we call the'not-so-scary Barry,'" said Hill."Then, after a half-hour turnaround,it becomes the 'very-scary Barry.'"

Inside the ship, volunteersturned the historic passageways ofthe ship into terrifying corridors fullof scary sights and sounds.

"My guys have Halloween deco-rations set up around the ship, andwe have volunteers from around theregion, civilian and military, thatdress up in costumes and be a partof the event as far as bringing the ef-fect out for the haunted ship," saidSenior Chief Aviation Boatswain'sMate (Handling) (AW/SW) Ben-jamin Bilyeu, Display Ship BarryLeading Chief Petty Officer.

Military service members gathered at theWorldWar II Memorial inWashington, D.C., tohonor veterans during the joint service "Makea Difference Day" volunteer event, Oct. 20.

"Our veterans are a reflection of our serv-ice members' future," said Olivia Hunter,Naval DistrictWashington Regional Commu-nity Service Program coordinator. "I think thatthe same way that the veterans adore beinghonored and remembered they too, I'm sure,would like to receive the same type of honorand respect in the future."

Make a Difference Day is a national day ofvolunteering celebrated annually to promotecommunity service. This year, nearly 200 vol-unteers greeted World War II veterans fromGeorgia, Ohio, Florida, NewYork and Arkansasas part of the Honor Flight Network program.

"Honor Flight is an organization that catersto all veterans and they actually provide trans-

portationthroughoutthevariousstatestocometo D.C. and to tour theWorldWar II memorial,"saidHunter."ThisisthelargestHonorFlightthisyear and it will probably be the last one, that isone of the reasons why we decided to do thisHonor Flight for Make a Difference Day."

Volunteers from each branch of servicenot only welcomed each veteran with cheers,handshakes and personal expressions of grat-itude but they also assisted in unloadingwheel chairs, escorting veterans throughoutthe memorial and even listened to war storiestold by the veterans themselves.

"It's humbling," said Cryptologic Techni-cian Networks 3rd Class Robert Murphy, as-signed to Navy Information OperationsCommand, Maryland. "We are losing moreand more veterans everyday and this is oneof the only chances I feel like to get out andmeet somebody that's gone before you to dowhat you have done, and we are followingup in their footsteps."

Alongside awards, plaques and picturesfrom previous deployments, a wooden "Med-ical Department" sign hangs in the office ofthe director for the Warrior Family Coordina-tion Cell (WFCC) at Walter Reed Bethesda.This hand-crafted sign recently proved it's asmall world.

WFCC Director Navy Capt. Thomas Craigheld onto the sign as a memento from one ofhis favorite tours, when he served as medicalofficer aboard the USS White Plains (AFS-4)from 1993 to 1994, he said.

"It means a lot to me," Craig said.The White Plains was decommissioned in

1995 after nearly 30 years of service. Craig saidhe kept the sign denoting the entrance to theship's medical department, as the ship wasemptied before it was towed from Guam toHawaii and placed permanently out of service.

Michael Morton, a hospital corpsmanaboard the White Plains from 1987 to 1990,crafted the sign while docked in the Philip-pines. He and a lab technician made it duringtheir down time, Morton said, to spruce up theship's walls and personalize the space wherethey cared for their shipmates.

"When you make something like this, youdon't think about the ship ever going away,"Morton said. "You do it to make it better, forthe time you're there."

After his tour aboard the ship, Morton ad-vanced to the rank of chief and went on toteach hospital corpsman "A" school. He waslater commissioned as an officer and, after 24

years of service, retired four years ago as a lieu-tenant commander. Since 2005, Morton hasworked at Sugar Grove, a Navy Medicine Na-tional Capital Area (NCA) branch clinic, wherehis connection to Craig was recently made.

Rear Adm. Alton Stocks, commander,Wal-ter Reed Bethesda, NCA, and his flag aide, Lt.Amy Zaycek, met in Morton's office during aSugar Grove site visit in July. There, they no-ticed a jacket hanging up, with a USS WhitePlains patch. Zaycek recalled theWhite Plainssign in Craig's office at Walter Reed Bethesda,connecting the two. Stocks invited Morton tovisit the hospital, and on Oct. 10, Morton ar-rived to meet Craig and tour the facility.

"We are thrilled to find this connection,

Fleet and Family Readiness. "So for childrenand for drivers and families it's a very impor-tant time to be aware of safety."

Hautzenroder-Roberts explained that thepotential for injury is increased at Halloweenfor a number of reasons. She suggests makingsure costumes for children are easy to see atnight and are fitted properly to prevent trip-ping. Hautzenroder-Roberts added that chil-dren should be supervised by an adult, andthat knowing where trick-or-treaters are goingis important as well.

"Within our region, as it is anywhere, it'sgood to know your neighbors to have a betteridea of whose houses children are going to,"said Hautzenroder-Roberts. "On a lot of basesin the region it may be easier to know yourneighbors than it is out in town. But even in abase situation or if you know your neighborsvery well, make sure that children bring theircandy home before eating it, have an adultlook over what they have and make sure thatthe candy is in a proper wrapper, and if any-thing looks suspicious, to toss it."

With so many people out on Halloweennight,driversareremindedtobeextravigilantforchildren and adults on roads and in cross walks.

"Pedestrian safety is key during Hal-loween," said James Peake, safety installation

program director at Naval Support ActivityWashington (NSAW). "Motorists should bemore aware of kids crossing the roads thatnight, and trick-or-treaters should walk, notrun, between houses and follow safe pedestri-an rules as well."

Peake also recommended that childrencarry flashlights or have reflective tape affixedto costumes and candy bags to make themeasier to see at night.

Some military installations in NDW havebase events around Halloween that civiliansand military alike are invited to, such as JointBase Anacostia-Bolling's "Spooktacular" eventOct. 30 and Naval Air Station Patuxent River'sPumpkin Carnival Oct. 26. Visitors to thesebases are reminded to follow similar Hal-loween safety rules, and to dress comfortablyfor the occasions.

"We've got events that happen on base,and it's important that people have a safe, aswell as fun, time while they're here," said BertNash, occupational safety and health special-ist at NSAW. "At NSAW we had the 'Ghost ShipBarry' event, and a lot of people from out intown came to that. Making sure that theyknow things like wearing comfortable shoesand supervising children while on base willmake sure that they have a good time, and thatin turn helps us better represent ourselves tothe community."

By Commander, Navy InstallationsCommand Navy Wounded Warrior -Safe Harbor Program Staff

Early one morning in October 2007, NavyBoatswain's Mate 1st Class Jim Castanedasuffered a stroke during muster aboard USSTortuga (LSD-46).The stroke was entirely un-expected and, in a matter of moments, Cas-taneda's life was forever changed.

Shortly after arriving at Naval MedicalCenter San Diego for treatment, Castanedawas referred to Navy Wounded Warrior

His NWW non-medicalcare manager helped his family navigate thevarious non-medical issues - from securingvarious payments and entitlements, to pro-viding advice on a home application, to ac-cessingVeterans Affairs benefits - that threat-ened to distract from Castaneda's recovery.

"[NWW] is one of those programs thatcommands may have heard about but don'tknow too much about," said Castaneda. "Butonce they know what it does and how it helpsfamilies and severely injured Sailors they will

The Oxford Handbook ofWar edited by Julian Lind-ley-French and Yves Boyer.Published by Oxford Univer-sity Press, New York. 2012,667 pages.

Being a member of theUnited States armed forcesmakes the study of war, itsevolution, change, and ap-proach of it from many disci-plines a lifelong endeavor.Oxford University Press haspublished a large book thatfeatures dozens of essaysfrom European, American,Chinese and Japanesethinkers on the subject ofwar. Many of the contribu-tors are senior leaders withinthe NATO Alliance. Eachperson is an academic, jour-nalist, military officer, or gov-ernment official who dis-cusses the fundamentalcauses of war, its moral andlegal aspects, theories on itspractice, as well as strategicconduct, non-western prac-tice and strategies, and muchmore. This is a complexwork, and it is pre-supposedthat the reader has been im-mersed in the language andthoughts on warfare fromancient times to the nuclearage. The book is divided into

ten parts, and each part hasbetween two and 11 essays.Lawrence Freedman, a pro-fessor of war studies at King'sCollege in London, takes thebold step of defining theterm, "war" in the 21st cen-tury. It compares the historicinstabilities that have led toconflict, and makes the argu-ment that while our technol-ogy is evolving many issues ofwarfare are a continuance ofpolicy as the late nineteenthcentury theorist Carl vonClausewitzstill remainsinourcollective thinking. One of hismore interesting observa-tions is the evolution of theactual word "war" from theGerman, "werran," which lit-erally means confusion anddiscord. Distinguished mili-tary historian Hew Strahcan

discusses how strategic think-ing allows for a reduction ofcomplexity while discoveringchanges and recognizingcontinuity inhischapter"Warand Strategy."

George Henri-Soutou, ofthe Sorbonne in Paris, dis-cusses a more rational ap-proach of using history notto find exact replicas fromthe past. He highlights thatthe Germans in World War IIhad the same numbers oftanks, planes and troops thatFrance had, and that is whatreally distinguished theWehrmacht (the Germanarmed forces) was the use ofthese resources in new ways,most notably in Blitzkriegwarfare. It was this Germanflexibility and reaction com-pared to the slower Frenchtactics that made the Ger-man victories of 1940 possi-ble, perfecting a moderncommand and control sys-tem of air and armoredground units. He advocatescultivation of the nimblemind that embraces the im-pact of surprise on the usesof history in the study of war.

"It's pretty great; I get a lump in my throat," said Kuhns. "Thegood part of it is we've done our part the best that we could;now we are turning it over to you young people. It's in yourhands now, the whole works."

Approximately 525 veterans were transported by a commer-cial airliner from their home states toWashington, D.C., then bya chartered bus to the memorial.The Honor Flight program hasmore than 117 hubs in 40 states and transported more than81,000 World War II veterans in 2011.

"We decided to come out and show support to our veteransand let them know that we are here to thank them for the workthat they did for us back in the day and giving us the countrywe have today," said Matthew Hogue, a student at the DefenseInformation School in Fort Meade, Md.

Naval Support Activity (NSA)Washingtontook part in the first "Great Southeast Shake-out" earthquake drill, in which participantssimultaneously practiced the recommendedactions during an earthquake, Oct. 18.

The Great Southeast Shakeout earth-quake drill comes on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the 5.8 magnitude earth-quake in Mineral,Va., Aug. 23, 2011, and wasfelt across more than a dozen U.S. states andin several Canadian provinces.

The "Great Southeast Shakeout" pro-vides an opportunity for people to practicehow to stay safe during and after a seismic

event," said Robert Avery, emergency man-ager for NSA Washington. "Employees wereencouraged to 'drop, cover and hold on' forat least 60 seconds as if there were a majorearthquake happening."

According to ShakeOut.org, more than190,000 people and organizations have reg-istered to take part in the historic drill. It alsomarks the first time a shakeout was formallyconducted in the Washington, D.C. metroarea and included participation from resi-dents and employees.

NSA Washington was the only militaryinstallation in the national capital regionthat participated in the drill.

"There is a misconception that earth-quakes don't happen outside of the WestCoast where as a few areas of the Midwest-

ern and Eastern U.S. are more prone toearthquakes than others," said Avery. "Thekey is always preparedness. Earthquake areunpredictable but training and drills help re-duce the potential injuries that can resultfrom them."

According to Avery, it is always importantto have an earthquake readiness plan. A fewtips he recommended were having a placein each room of the house that one can getto in case of an earthquake, keeping a supplyof canned food, an up-to-date first aid kit,three gallons of water per person, dustmasks and goggles, and a working battery-operated radio and flashlights.

appreciate it."Indeed, only one-quarter of enlisted Sailors and less than

one-half of naval officers are aware of Commander Navy Instal-lations Command's NavyWoundedWarrior - Safe Harbor pro-gram and the services it provides. Yet, it is among the most im-portant resources available to Navy families.

Illness or injury can strike at any time.When they do, NWWcan clear away the clutter and allow service members to focuson what's most important - getting well.

NWW tailors support to each wounded warrior's recovery,rehabilitation and reintegration needs. It's team of experts ad-dresses pay and personnel issues, child and youth care, trans-portation and housing needs, education and training benefits,and much more.The program's goal is to return wounded war-riors to duty, but when that's not possible, it works collabora-tively with federal agencies and partner organizations to ensuretheir successful reintegration back into their communities.

"NWW will address virtually any problem that surfaces dur-ing a wounded warrior's recovery process," said NWW directorCapt. Steve Hall. "NWW Non-medical Care Managers providesenrollees a shoulder to lean on, a helping hand, an ear to listenand encouraging words. They act as advocates when servicemembers need one most."

NWW enrollment is not limited to service members whohave been wounded in combat operations or shipboard andtraining accidents. It also is available to those affected by seriousillness - like Castaneda - or liberty accidents.

November marks Warrior Care Month, a time to recognizewounded warriors, as well as their caregivers, for their service,sacrifices, and achievements. This year's theme, "Successthrough Transition," highlights the many ways wounded war-riors and their families thrive after illness and injury - on activeduty, on the playing field, in the classroom, or on the job.

Adm. Cecil D. Haney, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet,will host the first-ever Wounded Warrior Pacific Trials at JointBase Pearl Harbor-Hickam and the University of Hawaii Nov.12 - 17. More than 50 seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailorsand Coast Guardsmen from across the country - including Cas-taneda - will compete for a place on the 2013 Warrior GamesNavy-Coast Guard team.

NWW encouraged Castaneda to get involved in adaptiveathletics several years ago, and it has had a tremendously pos-itive impact on his life. He says, "Everyone [competing in adap-tive athletics] seems seven feet tall - larger than life. I feel likesuperman. I can do anything now."

and to have an opportunity for Capt. Craig and Mike to meetfor the very first time. Our Navy spans the globe, but thisproves we are all linked together," Stocks said.

During his visit to Walter Reed Bethesda last week,Morton did not ask for his sign back. Instead, he gaveCraig a smaller, wooden plaque, engraved with the words"HM2 (SW) Morton." He said he crafted this as well, tohang from the "Medical Department" sign, and let hisshipmates know when he was on duty.

The two both said their meeting brought back manymemories. They reminisced about their deploymentsaboard the ship, running a multitude of necessary sup-plies to other Navy ships and to foreign countries wherefundamental resources were needed.

"The first nine months I was on the ship I probablyhad my feet on dry land about 12 hours," Morton said.

Craig also explained how busy they were at times unload-ing supplies while working hard to keep up their Sailors'readiness while at sea.

They also recalled an explosion aboard the ship inMay 1989, which claimed the lives of six Sailors and in-jured about 200. Craig had only read about the blast, andsaid he appreciated listening to Morton's account.

Morton was burned in the blast, and explained theexperience allowed him to better teach corpsmen lat-er in his career. The tragedy was also pivotal in Craig'sown career. While he was considered for his surfacewarfare qualification, Craig was asked about theWhite Plain fire. He had thoroughly read the incidentreports, and said it was his extensive knowledge aboutthe blast that ultimately earned him the qualification.

Though the Navy may seem vast and global, it hasonly a few degrees of separation, Craig added.

"I've been working in the Navy for almost 30 years,and I'm continuously amazed at just how small it is,"Morton said.
