Don’t miss this popular summer
run at JEBLC’s Rockwell Hall
Gym. Everyone who completes
the run will receive an award.
Details are on page 6!
The JEB Little Creek Outdoor Rental Center
has added new weekend hours and they are
now open daily (except on holidays)! This
will make renting equipment more available
to fit within your schedule and will continue
through the spring and summer seasons. If
you are unfamiliar with the location of the Lake
Bradford Rental Center, it can be found with
ease! Just enter the base through Gate 5 on
Independence Boulevard, continue past the
library and Navy College building (on D Street)
and you’ll find it in building 3022, on the left.
Our convenient location and quick service
will allow you to have lots of time to pick up
the equipment and still get the job done.
Spring is here and we have all the right
tools to make caring for your lawn easy. From
aerators to help your lawn “breathe”, tillers
to break up the soil and lawn mowers and
clippers for that perfect manicure, there is a
large inventory of equipment available for you
to achieve a beautiful lawn that your neighbors
will envy. We can also provide assistance in
getting to know the equipment before you get
it home. All of our tools are thoroughly checked
and maintained before and after being rented
for your safety.

located at the far end of the park

MWR FUNDING INFORMATION
We would like to address some important information with our readers
about the different categories of MWR funding and how they can affect the
ways that JEBLCFS MWR programs, facilities and services can be offered.
Additionally, we are including JEB Little Creek-Fort Story FY-14 Ops Plan
details for each category so that our patrons can understand the reasons
some decisions have been made such as why hours of core programs have
been reduced, etc.
To begin, there are three funding sources for MWR programs. Funds
appropriated by Congress and provided by the Navy to run all mission
essential MWR functions are called appropriated funds (APF). Funds
generated by MWR activities (food & beverage, golf, bowling, etc.) are nonappropriated funds (NAF). There are also non-appropriated funds that are
paid to MWR by the Navy Exchange System, from a portion of their profits,
that are called Navy Exchange Non-Appropriated Dividends.
Knowing the differences between the
funding streams for MWR programs can
answer some frequently asked questions.
Patrons may not have knowledge of
MWR funding or understand why, for
example, the fitness, library and Liberty
programs must reduce their hours due to
funding, but (at the same time) the bowling center can be renovated, or a
brand-new cart barn can be built at the golf course. The UFM funding supplied
for some MWR programs comes directly from the U.S. Government. NAF
revenue is generated by base MWR programs and facilities, and JEBLCFS
is able to recapitalize with it more freely.
There is some confusion about what MWR really has control of in its
programs and at its facilities. For example, a frequent complaint about
the fitness program is the operation of the air conditioning system at the
Rockwell Hall Gym. Unfortunately, MWR is not responsible for running or
servicing the building’s air conditioning system and cannot adjust it when
temperature issues arise. MWR is just a tenant in the facility. The same can
be said for issues with broken saunas inside the building. That equipment is
under NAVFAC control and maintenance.
Some comments from JEBLCFS MWR patrons indicate that it seems like
MWR is in the “profit” business. For some MWR programs, that is very true.
The bowling center, the golf course, the marina, the outdoor rental center
and more must make money to keep their doors open and maintain their
staffing, facilities and equipment. They operate for profit just like all of the
businesses outside the base gates. However, the gyms, libraries, Liberty
centers and some other programs are funded by the government...hence the
services are free to all eligible patrons.

AT THE 
2014 WOUNDED
WARRIOR TEAM
NAVY TRIALS!
Retired Navy Aviation
Support Equipment
Technician 2nd Class
(AW/SW) Marlon Bevans
Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic and Navy Wounded
Warrior – Safe Harbor are proud to host the 2014 Wounded
Warrior Team Navy Trials June 4-7 at Naval Station Norfolk.
Nearly 80 seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast
Guardsmen from across the country will compete for a place on
Team Navy 2014.
Spectators are encouraged to attend the event to support
the wounded warriors and enjoy an inspirational display of
perseverance and sportsmanship. During the competition,
wounded warriors will go head-to-head in archery; cycling; track
and field; shooting; seated volleyball; swimming; and wheelchair
basketball. For many wounded warriors, taking part in the event
represents a major milestone in their path to recovery.
Retired Navy Aviation Support Equipment Technician 2nd Class
(AW/SW) Marlon Bevans is among 10 local athletes competing
at the trials.
“Sports keep my mind off my injury and focused on a goal. I feel
some pain, but the pain is a sign that I am alive,” he said. Bevans
was injured in April 2010 in a motorcycle accident that left him in
a coma. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and severe trauma
to his upper extremities.
“Before I went to my first sports camp, I thought I had it bad in
life. But then I saw people who had lost more than I did, and that
motivated me to feel thankful for what I have. And I just hope to
use my experiences to motivate other people,” he said.

Bevans will compete alongside Active Duty and retired service
members with upper-body, lower-body and spinal cord injuries;
serious illnesses; traumatic brain injuries; visual impairment; and
post-traumatic stress disorder.
During the competition, medals will be awarded to the top three
athletes in the events or heats within each sport. Ultimately, 40
athletes will be selected for Team Navy and advance to the 2014
Warrior Games, the fifth annual competition among wounded
warriors from all branches of military service.
“The excitement at a wheelchair basketball game can inspire
these athletes to move past their injuries to embrace the fullness
of life. It can give them the hope to remove barriers,” said Navy
Cmdr. William Middleton, the director for CREDO Naval District
Washington, who attended last year’s Warrior Games.

Store Hours of Operation:
Daily, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Cove Marina, located at 1516 Amphibious Drive, is the full-service marina aboard JEB Little
Creek. There is no better place for boaters and fishermen to stop in and find what they need at
bottom-dollar prices! Some of our amenities include: a well-stocked bait, tackle, and marine supply
store, boat rentals, floating slips and a pump-out station, fuel pier, wash-down station and launch
ramp. We are open daily, and are more than happy to assist you in any way possible. Our aim is to
always have what you need, when you need it, but if we don’t, we’ll special order any marine supply
item and have it in stock the next day by 9 a.m. Want to place an order from home? Ask about our
2014 Marine Source Catalogs for just $3!
Throughout the year, Cove Marina provides patrons the opportunity to get out on the water and
have a great time. Don’t have a boat? Not a problem. We have rental boats trailered and ready for
launch, whether you’re looking to launch on-site or out in town! Our 19’ Mckee Crafts are just $125
a day or $250 for the weekend, and our 17’ Striper power boats are available for just $150 per day
or $275 for the weekend; just provide a copy of your state boating safety certificate to qualify! Once
you feel the rush of the breeze or the thrill of a big catch, you’ll be hooked!
This year, expect to see major changes at the
Cove Marina! Though a start date has not yet
been set in stone, as early as June/July this year, a
project will begin to replace the floating piers at the
marina with all-new concrete floating docks, and
the marina store with new and improved facilities!
While this project may take anywhere up to a year
to reach completion, patrons can be assured that
the wait will be well worth it. We’ll keep you posted
on any updates as they are released!
Event Calendar:
MAY SAFETY SALE
While there’s nothing like the freedom of being out on
the water and away from the worries of the day, safety
should always be every boater’s primary concern.
Besides, who has time to pay a ticket for expired flares
or fire extinguishers? Worry not. Throughout the month
of May, the Cove Marina will be slashing prices on all
safety equipment. From life vests to air horns, we’ve
got it...at prices that can’t be beat! Not sure what you
need? We’ve got you covered. The latest copies of
the USCG’s Vessel Safety Checklist are available to
patrons at any time, right here at the store!
JUNE LURE & LINE SALE
By June, many of you will be out and about hunting
for the next big catch. Between the wear and tear of
time, snags, and other mishaps, fishermen amateur and
adept alike are bound to need to replenish their tackle
supply. Lost a few lures? Bought a new fishing rod?
Snagged a line? Throughout the month of June, the
marina store will be offering you discounts on all lures
and fishing line! Don’t let the season get away from you,
stop by the Cove Marina and we’ll be more than happy
to get you what you need!
