Naval War College Visit to Arizona in March 2016
For many years, the Naval War College has toured the members of the Naval Command College all over the country, and for at least the last forty years the Phoenix Council of the Navy League has hosted them here in Arizona. The Naval Command College (NCC) is part of the Naval War College, where senior military officer (mostly O-6, Captain/Colonel-level) from about 55 different countries travel to the United States to participate in this amazing program.
The NCC Class of 2016 consists of 49 Officers from 47 different countries. The NCC began in 1956 and encompasses a rigorous academic program in National Security and Naval Strategy, including Field Studies visits throughout the United States. The Field Studies visits are designed to expose them to all aspects of American government, business, healthcare, media, education, culture and much more.
In mid-March of this year, the Naval Command College will be in Cave Creek, Arizona, and we are planning on an event on or about Wednesday, March 16th, 2016, at the Carefree Inn & Resort. You will have an opportunity to come and engage these accomplished men and women in conversation about their studies and world events and share your perspective on life. We promise you will find this evening both personally and professionally enriching.
The exact time and place of the event has not been finalized as of this writing. As soon as we have more information, we will keep you advised.

Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl
The inaugural Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl, was held on December 29th in Tucson, Arizona. Several Navy League Board members were involved. The entire bowl week was great and we thank all of those who helped to make it a success. It was awesome that Congresswoman/Colonel Martha McSally, was on hand to sing the national anthem for the game. She has a powerful voice and did a wonderful job! Our local Navy League Area Presient, Bill Stevenson, was able to meet with the congresswoman in Washington and personally give her details about the event. It was wonderful to meet the Sailors of the Quarter from the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), in Tucson. As always, Bill Stevenson, Ron Fried and Doug Fulton provided a wonderful thank you for these outstanding sailors. The group was introduced on the field at the game. Also a special thanks to Phoenix Council board members, Denise and Dean Tomlinson, and crew for bringing the USS Arizona replica to the Arizona Bowl pre game festivities. We were also able to get the USS Tucson replica. Both ships were a great attraction for the fans prior to the game. Ron managed the Colorado State VIP Suite and Bill the Nevada Suite. Phoenix Council Secretary, Wendy Munn, managed the tickets for the pre-game festivities. We deeply appreciate all of the help from the Phoenix Council!.

2015 Sailors of the Year, USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70)
Hello Navy Leaguers,
It was an honor to host the Sailors of the Year from the USS Carl Vinson (CVN - 70). The Phoenix Council had made contact though the ship's Command Master Chief Martin Barnholtz while on a friends and family outing last June in San Diego, California. The Phoenix Council was invited on behalf of the Newport Beach Navy League Council to attend their friends and family day at sea. While conversing with our hosts and the other councils aboard CVN-70, an opportunity to host the ships Sailors of the Year began to take form.
Recently, several members of the Phoenix Council were just awarded a new NCAA sanctioned bowl game to be played in Tucson, Arizona, on the 29th of December. With the permission of the Newport Beach and the Palm Springs Councils, who have adopted the USS Carl Vinson, the Phoenix Council made contact with their ships CMC Barnholtz and the screws began to turn. Once all the parties agreed, the Sailors were notified about their pending trip to Tucson. Below is information on the Sailors of the Year and why these well deserving Sailors were chosen:
Ship's Serviceman First Class Paul Mendoza is stationed onboard the USS Carl Vinson, one of eleven of our nation's nuclear carriers, which recently returned from a 10 month deployment to the Middle East in June. He hails from the Philippines, immigrating to the US when he was 2 years old. He was selected as the Ship's Senior Sailor of the Year from among 320 of his peers. He is currently serving as the Leading Petty Officer of the Sales and Services Division. He led 68 Sailors in the operation of two ships stores, a coffee bar, 20 vending machines, 10 storerooms, a barbershop and a 24-hour laundry operation in direct support of more than 5,200 crew members. His team generated profits of $960K for Carl Vinsons Morale Welfare and Recreation Fund.
Hospital Corpsman Second Class Larizza Sibayan hails from Manila, Philippines and is CARL VINSON's Sailor of the Year. She has served as Immunizations Leading Petty officer leading 10 Corpsmen in more than 8,000 patient encounters, 2,300 Periodic Health Assessments (PHA), and 6,500 immunizations, raising the command's medical readiness from 75% to 90% over the last year. As the aviation medicine work center supervisor, HM2 led nine Sailors in the execution of 75 flight physicals and 200 flight deck physicals. Her guidance culminated in the command establishing a 97% physical completion rate.
Hospital Corpsman Third Class Riley Garn hails from West Jordan, Utah and is CARL VINSON's Junior Sailor of the Year. HM3 is the only Third Class Petty Officer Work Center supervisor within the Medical department, a position that is normally held by more senior service members. He led 12 Sailors in providing care to 5,300 Sailors and completing 1,026 sick call screenings resulting in a 100% return to full duty rate. As part of the aviation medicine team, he provided more than 1,500 hours of flight deck medical coverage resulting in 30 MEDEVACS, 200 first responder evolutions, 450 minor care interactions, and five medical emergencies with zero complications during WESTPAC deployment 2014/2015.
Aviation Machinist Mate Third Class Steven N. Smith Jr hails from Brooklyn, NY and is CARL VINSON's Blue Jacket of the Year. He is assigned to Aviation Intermediate Maintenance Department's Power Plant Division where he was instrumental in the breakdown, troubleshooting, and buildup of 63 Aircraft Engines in support of Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN flight operations during CARL VINSON's 2014/15 combat deployment. His efforts contributed to the Air Wing's 2,400 mission sorties during Operation INHERENT RESOLVE. Petty Officer Smith is continuing to develop as a stellar Sailor and was advanced to Third Class Petty Officer earlier this month.
The Sailors arrived in Tucson on December 27th and checked in to the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort; a huge thank you to the Management and Staff of the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. What you made possible for our Sailors is truly appreciated by all. Once everyone was checked in, it was time for dinner. We boarded and were off to Old Tucson Studios in an Arizona Department of Public Safety motor escort to the team dinner. Once we arrived we were greeted by the staff of Old Tucson to a steak dinner with both teams. The Colorado State University and Nevada teams and local organizers along with Navy Leaguers were present at this private dinner. The 28th came early in the morning. 0600 we were on the road to meet with Jane and Doug Fulton and their children for breakfast. We arrived at 0800 at the Fulton compound and were treated with eggs, bacon and pastries. Once the pre-check was performed it was off to Sedona for a three hour flight to see the beauty of the Arizona landscape.  
1230 back on the road heading for Tucson. We arrived at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort at 1500 and some of the Sailors chose to take a siesta till we were off to dinner. 1900 we were treated to dinner at one of Tucsons oldest and most notable restaurants and friend to the Navy, Navy League, and the Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl, El Chorro Restaurant. Thank you to the Flores family in making our Sailors feel at home.
December 29th, 1300 we were off to the Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl and once we arrived we were escorted to the exclusive VIP pregame party where the sailors met a host of dignitaries and had many photo opportunities. A special thank you to Raymond Desmond and Jon Volpe for the time and inspiration they gave to the Sailors.

After the band Los Lobos performed at half time, the Sailors were escorted on the field and introduced as the USS Carl Vinson Sailors of the Year. The Sailors were a huge hit with Tucson and the Stadium was so loud with applause it was a highly emotional moment for all.
0700 December 30th, breakfast with the Sailors was filled with laughter and was our last meal together.
The time spent with the Sailors was an honor and we truly enjoyed their visit. We received positive feedback from them and all had a great time. The Navy League Phoenix Council sent the Sailors underway with a blessing of Fair Winds and Following Seas.

Breakfast with the Fultons
 Every few months or so, my family and I have the privilege of hosting the amazing men and women who have earned Sailor of the Quarter and Sailor of the Year. Our mornings start off bright and early, much like those of the hard working Navy men and women. With our mother at the helm, she directs each of us kids to different stations, watching over as we excitedly prepare the many components of the "breakfast à la Fulton." As we set the table and finish last minute preparations, our honored guests begin to arrive. Enjoying breakfast with the sailors and their families is one the best parts of the day. I feel very privileged being able to hear their stories, and learn about their work and who they are, and I know the rest of my family feels the same way too. After breakfast, my father, Doug, takes our guests on a little joy ride at 5,000 feet above sea level. The helicopter ride is what everyone is the most excited about and with good reason! Bravo Bravo whips and whizzes through the sky, granting those who are with her a glimpse of the beautiful Arizona landscape. Its definitely a once in a lifetime ride and these sailors are more than well deserving of such an experience. I truly enjoy being a part of this experience and helping create a fun-filled and fantastic weekend for these men and women. My family and I would like to thank each and every one of them for their service and dedication to this country and to let them know how proud we are of them for what they are doing.

Team Arizona - 75
You may not realize that there is a famous battleship which patrols the Phoenix metro area. It has been seen in places like Flagstaff, Tucson, Sierra Vista, Texas, New Mexico, California and even Hawaii. Some citizens have reported seeing this Naval Dreadnaught at schools where our kids go to learn or pushing it's way through parades with our National Ensign proudly displayed. This humble vessel bears the name and resemblance of the infamous BB-39, the USS Arizona, and is the unofficial ambassador and voice for the 1,177 sailors and Marines who served and died with her on December 7, 1941.
The USS Arizona memorial battleship, an accurately scaled replica of the actual battleship, which rests in Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Hawaii, is owned by Wanda Sartain of New River, Arizona. Wanda and her late husband, Perry Sartain, both United States Navy veterans, acquired the ship many years ago and with help of friends, their own funds, along with some donations, restored this precious memorial as a way to honor those who gave so much to all Americans.
Sadly, Perry passed away on December 7, 2014 after attending the State of Arizona Peal Harbor Remembrance Walk at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix. Not lost on those who knew and loved Perry, is the fact that he died on the day that the USS Arizona was lost in Hawaii.
Mrs. Sartain continues to honor her husband Perry and all veterans by taking the USS Arizona memorial battleship to special events to encourage rememberance and education, but like all things, time and weather have left an obvious mark on the once beautiful pride of Pearl. Mrs. Sartain is part of a group of supporters named "TEAM ARIZONA-75." The goal of the group is to raise financial support to repair and to apply a fresh coat of paint to the ships exterior, along with making repairs to the existing trailer the ship rides on. TEAM ARIZONA-75 is hoping to find individuals, community groups or organizations to complete the restoration project before February 14, 2016, which is the state of Arizonas 104th birthday.
TEAM ARIZONA-75s goal also includes taking the memorial battleship to Pearl Harbor in December 2016. The ship will be part of the memorial celebration "Operation Pearl Harbor - 75 Years Later."
TEAM ARIZONA-75 needs all hands on deck! Your participation and financial support will be greatly appreciated and put toward encouraging and supporting the memory of all those who selflessly served their country and especially to those brave men and women who lost their lives that fateful day in 1941.
Your financial donation can be sent to:
USS Arizona Replica
c/o Wanda Sartain
43020 N 3rd Ave
New River, AZ 85087
Check written to:
USS Arizona Replica Organization Inc
As a thank you for your support of the project, send us the name, rank and service branch of a U.S. Veteran you know or are related to and we will add that patriot's name to the plaque of Shipmates to be displayed with the USS Arizona memoral battleship in Pearl Harbor during the memorial celebration on December 7, 2016.

Important Membership Information
Membership Introduction
Since the Navy Leagues founding in 1902 with the enthusiastic support of President Theodore Roosevelt, the Navy League of the United States (NLUS) has promoted the need for strength in American sea power. As Assistant Secretary of the Navy and recipient of both the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Medal of Honor, Roosevelt fully understood that superior sea power: sustains peace, deters war, and protects our economy as well as the freedoms essential to the American way of life. Today, in light of violent threats posed by ISIS and the uncertainty of funding, adequate support for our troops, as well as federal interests in not replacing our sea bound aging fleet; we are hampered in the background of leading the battle effort.
Two thousand and sixteen (2016) brings with it a significant change to the National Navy League in terms of new Leadership, Board of Directors and Staff Support. Significant to these progressive moves was launching the widespread support by the Board for the Americas Strength initiative with Congressional representatives in December during our winter meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. Members of the Board were bused to Washington for scheduled meetings, which were very successful.
