We are all very concerned
about the effect of sequestration
on the sea services. Our Guest
of Honor at our February Dinner Meeting was Admiral
George Ballance, USN, who is
the Director of Theatre of Engagement at US Southern Command. Admiral Ballance joined
us with his wife Susan. He spoke to us frankly
about the effects sequestration will have on the
Navy. I know that Fleet Week Port Everglades has
already been significantly curtailed by the cancellation of the USS Mesa Verde’s visit. The combat
deployments of several navy ships and one aircraft
carrier from Norfolk was cancelled precipitously,
and I fear that many other cancellations are to follow. It remains to be seen what wide reaching affects these cuts will have on our sea services, but
one thing is certain, the support of civilian organizations like ours will be more important than ever!
On a lighter note, our Navy League Day at
the Races on February 10th at Gulfstream Park was
a huge hit! We had over 40 attendees, and everyone enjoyed the delicious lunch buffet and spectacular trackside seating. Many of the ladies wore
exquisite hats, and everyone had a great time. We
were escorted to the paddock to watch the horses
parade before our sponsored race, which was quite
exciting. Then we watched the race trackside, and
were privileged to stand in the winner’s circle with
the winning horse, jockey and owner for the award
presentation and photos, which was quite a treat!
We all had a $2 bet to place as part of our event
package, but many of us bet on several races, and
at least one member, Gary Pirtle, was a winner!
What a lovely afternoon!
I am very excited to hear our March Dinner
Meeting speaker! LT Chet Frith, USN will be attending with his service canine, Gunner. LT Frith
is an Iraq war veteran whose golden retriever Gunner assists him with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. LT Frith works with wounded servicemen
at US Naval Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida as
part of Navy Wounded Warrior - Safe Harbor as
the Non-medical Care Manager for the southeastern United States. You can read LT Firth’s bio in
this issue. Lt Frith and Gunner were featured on
the Katie Couric Show about dogs that fulfill special services for their owners. Read the letter LT
Frith wrote to Gunner, and watch the video clip at

meeting LT Frith and Gunner. I hope you will all
attend! It promises to me a fascinating evening. I
look forward to seeing you then.

DEAR GUNNER
December 13, 2011
Gunner, My Battle Buddy…
You entered my life at such a trying time. I just returned from Iraq.
The world I had known before, my entire life, no longer existed. Life in
a combat zone had become normal for me. And this great country, along
with its freedoms and liberties I fought to protect, had become so foreign.
I was emotionally numbed by my experiences and could not tell you
what I enjoyed in life anymore. I left my beautiful wife, and two young
boys, all of whom I so desperately loved, only to return unable to feel or
express my deep love for them.
I felt my world was falling apart around me and I didn’t know why.
I didn’t feel safe anywhere. Going to the grocery store, my children’s
school…even a simple walk in the neighborhood was mentally exhausting. I had recurring nightmares that bothered me long after they ended.
I desperately needed help. And then you arrived and gave me hope. You
have my back everywhere we go and make me feel safe in places I once
avoided. You remind me every day that there is good in this world and
there is love. You show me how to forgive and forget and help me relax
in times of stress. Most importantly, you bring a ray of sunshine to my
family and me. You mean the world to us! While words can never truly
capture how important you are, I want to say thank you, Gunner, my
friend. With every gentle nudge and with every attentive move, you help me realize that while combat is horrific
and will always be part of my life as well as the lives of all service members who’ve answered the call of duty, it
does not define who we are.

VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
February, 2013
The Cadets of Spruance Division and Radford Training Ship began the month of February with a great training
weekend at Snyder Park, with a Wilderness Survival Exercise. The Cadets were divided up into squads and each
had their own objectives. They had to utilize skills that they had been trained for by Gunny Sanchez, who planned
the whole weekend training evolution. We had 93 Cadets attend. Special thanks to our X.O. Jorge Perez for his
ever watchful eye, to Randy for being our cook, to Tim for being our electrician providing lights, to Tanya Wallace
for proving a light tree, and to all of the Staff members for giving up their warm beds to sleep out on the coldest
weekend of the year, so far!
The Cadets presented the Colors for the Winterfest Awards Banquet, held at the Fort Lauderdale Convention
Center. The Cadets had a day of specialized training at the Fort Lauderdale Coast Guard Station. (Once again,
on the coldest morning). All of the Cadets had the opportunity to participate in training for our Annual Flag Ship
Competition to be held May 4th, at the Coast Guard Station. X.O. Jorge Perez and the Spruance Staff cooked a
hearty BBQ lunch for All Hands.
The Color Guard presented Colors at our Navy League Dinner, and at the Valley Forge Freedom Foundation
George Washington Birthday Ball held at the Panorama room of Pier 66. Petty officer Danielle Serrano had been
selected to attend the Valley Forge Encampment with Master Sergeant Abiud Montes.
LCDR Starr had the opportunity to meet with the Daughters of the Confederacy, and they have agreed to increase their level of sponsorship when they present their Awards at our Annual Awards Banquet. LCDR Starr
also attended the Commissioning Ceremony of the Coast Guard’s newest Fast Response Cutter, Yerid, named
after a Coast Guardsman who risked his life to save his shipmates during the Vietnam Conflict.
The Cadets had a fantastic time at the Broward College High Ropes Course near Outdoor World. The Cadets,
especially the younger ones were quite intimidated when they saw the height of the poles they would have to
climb, but they all participated, and by noon time they were all over, climbing and walking tight ropes (harnessed
of course), and having the time of their lives and showing the confidence they had overcome all of their fears.
Respectfully submitted:
LCDR Alan Starr, NSCC,
Commanding Officer

US COAST GUARD CUTTER TAMPA VISIT TO FORT LAUDERDALE
By Oscar Romano
On February 7 we hosted a reception at Briny Riverfront Pub for the USCGC TAMPA (WMEC 902). The ship
stopped in Fort Lauderdale en route to her homeport in Portsmouth, Virginia after a deployment in the Caribbean
performing joint missions with other Coast Guard and Navy vessels.
Almost the entire crew was present at the party. We enjoyed a friendly evening with the crew and members
of all the local Navy League Councils and Broward Navy Days. The CO, CDR Susan Polizzotto, USCG, come to
the reception with her father, Mr. Richard Polizzotto who was vacationing in the Keys.
CDR Polizzotto has had a distinguished career in the USCG since her commissioning in 1995. Commander

DAY AT THE RACES AT GULFSTREAM PARK
By Oscar Romano
As part of our social activities, the Council hosted a luncheon on February 10, at the Gulfstream Park Racing and
Casino, with over 40 guests in attendance sharing a superb buffet overlooking the finish line of the track.
The festivities include a race named for our Council (Race # 7 for fillies 3 years old). Just prior to the race, we were
invited to the paddock circle area to see the mounted ceremony for all the contenders in the event. From there we were
escorted to the winner’s circle to watch the race in front of the finish line. After the race, we had the opportunity to
meet the winning horse, number 9, “Win for Kitten”, the jockey, Joe Bravo and the owners, Kenneth and Sara Ramsey.
It was the third win that day for the owners and Mr. Ramsey was so happy to see us because he happens to be a Navy
veteran. Even though the public is usually not allowed get close to the horse for a picture, Mr. Ramsey invited all the
guests present at the winner circle to pose for the picture with “Win for Kitten”. It was very exciting for all of us!
A highlight of the afternoon was the opportunity to meet one of the fiercest and most popular figures in the history
of Thoroughbred racing, jockey Angel Cordero, Jr. He has ridden 38,646 mounts and he has won 7,057 races during a
career that spanned 32 years (1960 to 1992). He won all of the Triple Crown races (3 Kentucky Derby, 2 Preakness and 1
Belmont).
Our Social Committee, chaired by our President Lynn Drucker, continues to organize joyful events for our members and guests.

SPRUANCE DIVISION’S ANNUAL WILDERNESS
SURVIVAL BIVOUAC A CHILLY SUCCESS
By John Serko
With memories of the frigid temps at last year’s Wilderness Survival Bivouac in the back of their minds, the Instructors and Petty Officers of the Spruance Division of the USNSCC
anxiously watched the weather forecast as the February 15th
Bivouac date drew closer. Yes, there was another cold front coming through just like last year, but the temps weren’t forecast to
fall all that far, so it shouldn’t be that bad. On a soggy Friday
evening, the Officers, Instructors, and Petty Officers reported to
Snyder Park and began setting up camp, looking forward to the
events of the upcoming weekend. The much anticipated Wilderness Survival Bivouac was the first overnight event of the year,
and the first night ever away from home for some cadets.
Under the watchful eye of Gunny Edwin Sanchez, equipment
was strategically placed, the firepit was prepared, and the kitchen
was setup. Tents were erected, and two tents made from parachutes were setup for the first time, each to be occupied the folCadets learn how to build a shelter
lowing night by more than two dozen cadets. All of the tarps and
canopies were tightly tethered to the ground, a decision that
would prove very important the following day.
As the light rain continued to fall and the sun set behind the
clouds, the League Cadet Petty Officers participated in a knife
safety certification class. The evening meal of hot dogs and grilled
chicken was served, prepared by Randy Bieszcak and his kitchen
staff of able volunteers. After dinner the Sea Cadets set up the
compass course to be used for land navigation training the following day. As the evening wore on the rain tapered off, but dry firewood was increasingly difficult to find and locating more became
a top priority to keep the fire burning through the night.
Reveille on Saturday morning came early and unexpected, as
a car alarm was accidentally triggered twelve minutes before the
Cadet Vinnie McDaniel receives graduation certificate from
scheduled wake up time. Yes, exactly twelve minutes early. As
CO Alan Starr & Gunny Sanchez
everyone struggled out of their dry and comfy beds, you couldn’t
help but notice the skies were dark gray and it was still raining. “At least it wasn’t cold,” was what everyone kept telling
each other. Chow of cold cereal, milk and fruit was served, and a busy day was underway as cadets began arriving
around 0700.
This year was the first year that another Sea Cadet unit was
invited to join Spruance Division at the bivouac and the Amvets
Division from West Palm Beach brought several additional cadets
and one instructor to add to the fun.
Once through the check in process, all 93 cadets present were
broken into squads and attended a mandatory safety briefing. As
at all Sea Cadet functions, the safety of each cadet was the top priority, and the rules were made crystal clear to all of them at the
outset of the event.
The safety briefing behind them, the cadets prepared for the
main event – the training. To present the classes, the SERE(Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) instructors who had attended

SURVIVAL BIVOUAC A CHILLY SUCCESS - CONTINUED
continued from page 9
Gunny Sanchez’s training last summer had an opportunity to showcase what they had learned. Classes on shelter building, traps and snares, water purification, fire building, camouflage, evasion, and land navigation were among the subjects
presented. All classes were accompanied by hands-on demonstrations of the concepts that were presented by the instructors, and many cadets got first-hand experience in the subjects they were learning.
As the day wore on and the cold front pushed through, the skies cleared and the sun finally came out to dry the park
grounds. Nobody paid much attention to the weather as the winds
gradually picked up out of the Northwest because it was really
quite comfortable dressed in our BDUs.
After lunch the training continued for the cadets. Field formations, the compass course, and several other field exercises kept
the cadets busy and on the move, scattered through the park for
the entire afternoon. The Petty Officers did a great job keeping the
cadets on the learning track, even though they were having so
much fun that they wouldn’t admit they were learning real world
survival skills.
One of the most necessary survival skills put into practice all
weekend was gathering firewood. Thanks to some sharp-eyed
cadets and some very generous parents, there was plenty of fireCollecting firewood
wood to get through the long night ahead. They were going to
need it.
There was one survival skill that wasn’t covered in any of the
classes earlier that day: Cold weather survival. As the winds continued to pick up and the temps continued to drop, someone
checked the forecast and found out that a wind chill advisory had
been issued for Broward County that night, with temps in the 40’s
and wind chills in the 30’s. Very few were fully prepared for this,
as the memories of the prior year’s Bivouac came roaring back for
those who were there.
Late in the afternoon the gusting winds unstaked one of the
parachute tents and it took a brief flight before a detail was
quickly formed to get it staked back down. All available hands
quickly pitched in to make certain that none of the other tents
were at risk of becoming kites overnight with cadets sleeping inBivouac Campfire warms Cadets
side. Stakes were replaced and lines doubled to make sure the
tents would survive the night, because winds were forecast to
reach 20 to 30 mph overnight, with even higher gusts.
After evening chow of cheeseburgers, the cadets prepared to
set out on their night op, bundled up as well as they could against
the cold and the wind. Before heading into the woods, those cadets
who brought extra jackets or gloves shared with their shipmates
in a true demonstration of friendship. Examples of selflessness
were common as older cadets gave up jackets and sweatshirts to
younger cadets who were not as well prepared, and they all
headed out into the park together.
Gunny Sanchez with his night vision goggles kept a close
watch over the cadets along with the Petty Officers as they purCadet Zachary Vlahovski demonstrates water purification techniques

sued the OpFor through the woods. A small group of cadets continued to gather more firewood, and by the time they were ready
for bed, had a formidable pile.
Shortly before taps, the adult instructors who had vehicles on
site moved them to form a wind break ahead of the most windward tents, hoping to help prevent a flyaway tent in the middle
of the night. Everyone except the watches turned in and braced
for the long, cold, windy night ahead.
The night passed quickly, or at least it seemed like it. There
were no apparent casualties due to the cold, but there were more
than a few chattering teeth the next morning. This morning
reveille was not a blaring car alarm, and it blissfully took place at
Our encampment
the scheduled time. Who would have thought that twelve minutes
could make that much of a difference? There’s something about
sleeping outside that makes you appreciate every minute of shut-eye just that much more. On top of that, some wonderful
soul had brought coffee for the staff, and it also was most greatly appreciated.
The cadets were roused and fed at sunup, with time for a bathroom break before the Sunday morning activities began
at full speed. First on the agenda was breaking down camp, and all hands pitched in and got it done quickly. Then the
main event of the morning began, the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program taught by instructor Brian Green. Seeing 90
cadets on the field doing PT and marshall arts training together does tend to bring a smile to one’s face, and they all participated and enjoyed it.
To cap off the weekend, Commander Starr and Gunny Sanchez conducted the graduation ceremony and presentation
of certificates to 90 cadets while anxious parents watched from the roadside, and temperatures climbed out of the arctic zone back to where they should be for Florida in February.
Another Bivouac was in the books, and this one by all accounts, was the best ever.

SEA CADET OF THE MONTH ISAAC STRATTAN
SPRUANCE DIVISION LEAD PETTY OFFICER
When I was 14, I joined the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps and went to Recruit
Training in 2010. Since then, I have done Damage Control and Rescue Training, Survival
Training, and have taken the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Safe Boating Course. I have
trained at Resolve Fire and Hazard Academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Station, and sailed
on the USS Iwo Jima from Norfolk, Virginia to Fort Lauderdale. I have attended Field
Operations Training in Minnesota, Master at Arms Training in Tennessee, and Petty Officer Leadership Academy in Florida. Last year I was a member of the Color Guard, participating in over a dozen community events. I have staffed USNSCC Recruit Training
three times, most recently as Leading Petty Officer in Groveland, FL and as Leading
Petty Officer in Belle Glade, FL, where I was responsible for the training of 100 recruits
from 25 divisions across the United States. This year I am the LPO of Spruance Division.
I was named Honor Cadet of Spruance Division’s Mini Boot Camp in 2010, USNSCC
Recruit Training in 2010, and Master at Arms Training in 2011. I have been awarded the
National Sea Cadet Corps Commendation and Citation, Unit Commendation, NSCC
Staff Cadet, and Physical Fitness Ribbons, as well as Expert Marksman in rifle and pistol,
the Marine Corps League Medal for Esprit de Corps, the VFW Citation and Medal for
Achievement and Leadership, and the Teddy Roosevelt Medal.
Outside of Sea Cadets I shoot skeet, participate in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (ninjustsu)
training, I am SCUBA certified
and became an Eagle Scout in 2012. These activities have been
valuable to me, but the USNSCC has helped me the most in improving my leadership skills and instilling in me the highest ideals
of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. The lessons and skills I
have learned in Sea Cadets will be an immense help to me
throughout my life, especially when I go to the United States
Naval Academy as a member of the class of 2017.
