By Tricare Management
Activity
FALLS CHURCH, Va.
Military families are accus-
tomed to change. But one
thing stays constant - their
Tricare coverage. Tricare
reminds all beneficiaries,
no matter what Tricare pro-
gram theyre enrolled in,
their benefit is portable,
making it easy to transfer
coverage.
Active duty service mem-
bers (ADSMs) and active duty
family members (ADFMs)
who are moving to a new
location can now transfer
their Tricare Prime enroll-
ment with a simple phone
call. This new telephone
option adds convenience for
ADSMs and their families.
Moving ADSMs simply
call their current regional
health care contractor to
transfer their familys enroll-
ment, and include a cell
number and email address.
The new regional contractor
will contact them within five
business days after the relo-
cation date to finalize their
Tricare transfer.
The enrollment transfer
includes a new primary care
manager (PCM) best suited
to the location of the ADSMs
work, home and anticipated
medical needs. If moving
within the current region,
this process can be used to
help them transfer to a new
PCM.
ADSMs and their families
will not have to worry about
coverage during this trans-
fer process because they are
continuously covered under
TRICARE. Once settled, they
can confirm coverage on the
Beneficiary Web Enrollment
(BWE) website. This link
and more information can
be found at www.tricare.
mil/moving.
If an ADSM or ADFM for-
get to notify his or her cur-
rent regional contractor of
their upcoming move, they
still have the option to con-
tact the new regional con-
tractor to transfer enrollment
via phone.

SUBASE lauded by Congressional Delegation
By Lt. Jennifer Cragg
Commander Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
SUBASE Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. Most
often hosting numerous
New England Congressional
Delegation (CODEL) vis-
its throughout the year,
Naval Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE) had the
rarer opportunity to host a
ranking member of Congress
from the West Coast recent-
ly. Representative Adam
Smith of Washington State
and other officials visited
Naval Submarine Base New
London, June 6.
At SUBASE, Smith, a
House Armed Services
Committee (HASC) ranking
member, and a member of
his staff, received a com-
prehensive base briefing
and windshield tour of the
waterfront from SUBASE
Commanding Officer
Captain Marc W. Denno.
Following the base
tour, Smith was joined
by Representative Joe
Courtney, the sole mem-
ber of the Connecticut con-
gressional delegation to sit
on the HASC, in a tour of
Naval Submarine School
(SUBSCOL) trainers.
Smith would applaud
the Navy and the State of
Connecticut for their part-
nership and unique initia-
tives to improve the base
and community, and would
also applaud the base and its
Naval Submarine School for
maintaining the mantle as
the center of excellence for
submarine force training.
I can see the excellent
investment by the state [of
Connecticut] in the Sub
base. Our submarine fleet is
going to be critical well into
the future, said Smith.
Smith was speaking in
part of the unique direct
investment that Connecticut
is making in SUBASE. In
September 2009, Connecticut
made an initial state invest-
ment of $7.65 million in
SUBASE that is support-
ing the construction a new
Diver Support Facility at the
base as well as modernizing
a boiler at the bases power
plant.
In December 2010, the
state made a second invest-
ment of $3.22 million. That
investment supports a $2.48
million submarine bridge
simulator training facility at
the bases Naval Submarine
School as well as the con-
struction of a culinary train-
ing center consisting of a
full-scale, fully functional
replica of a galley found on
Virginia-class submarines
The State of Connecticuts
efforts, complementing the
Navys larger federal invest-
ments, have been mak-
ing quite an impact, said
Denno. On any given day
over the next year, just like
any given day over the last
year, SUBASE will have
some $100 million dollars of
military construction under-
way. If that doesnt speak
to the vitality of SUBASE, I
dont know what does.
Vital to the submarine
force is the training con-
ducted at the bases Naval
Submarine School.
Smith and Courtney saw
this first hand as they visited
a variety of the schools high-
tech and high-risk trainers,
including the Virginia Ship
Control Operations Trainer
(VSCOT), which develops
operational skills of a sub-
marines ship control party
by providing realistic and
dynamic simulation of a
submerged submarine.
The trainers are truly
impressive, especially how
weve come so close to
simulating the environment
and making that training
even more realistic, said
Smith.
Two other trainers visited
during the tour included
the Virtual Environment for
Submarine Shiphandling
and the Submarine Escape
Trainer.
Its a pleasure to host
our elected leaders and pro-
vide them an opportunity to
witness excellence in action
as our instructors work to
assure the best possible
training of our submarine
Sailors, said Capt. Emil
Casciano, commanding offi-
cer, Submarine Learning
Center, who hosted the
trainer visit.
The VESUB is a virtual-
reality computer system
providing the Officer of the
Deck training to success-
fully and safely pilot and
maneuver a surfaced sub-
marine through restricted
waterways avoiding colli-
sions and grounding. The
Submarine Escape Trainer,
completed in 2009, is a
realistic and tightly con-
trollable training envi-
ronment for practicing
escapes from sunken and
disabled submarines.
We have training facili-
ties at submarine home-
ports from Groton to Guam
with skilled and dedicated
instructors, working with
state of the art equipment
and world-class facilities
to support basic, interme-
diate and advanced indi-
vidual and team skills
training, to guarantee our
Navys continuing suc-
cess and the future of our
Nation and our world,
said Casciano.
Smith concluded his
visit to SUBASE by meet-
ing with a few Sailors from
Washington State.

Education opportunities for Sailors, families
By Kathy MacKnight
NHCNE Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - You
have probably noticed a
few changes in the Family
Medicine area of Naval
Branch Health Clinic
(NBHC) Groton. Staff
members have moved
to new office and clinic
spaces for the formation
of Piers (or teams) for
the implementation of
Medical Home. Medical
Home is patient-centered
care, meeting the needs
of the patient based on
access and timeliness.
You will continue to be
assigned a Primary Care
Manager (PCM), but he or
she will belong to a larg-
er healthcare team that
includes nurses, corps-
men and support staff.
This concept centers on
care coordinated by an
entire team to provide
timely appointments and
allow staff to be familiar
and informed on the sta-
tus of their patients.
At NBHC Groton there
will be three Medical
Home Piers: two in
Family Medicine and one
for Pediatrics. Also join-
ing the services of the
Piers will be clinical sup-
port staff from Behavior
Health, Wellness health
educators, a Pharmacist,
and Case Manager, to
answer questions and
provide timely counsel-
ing and support. These
additional and personal-
ized services will build
a stronger relationship
between you and your
Medical Home team.
Soon Medical Home
will have a new secured
messaging system for e-
mail that will allow you
access to your provider
and members of your
Medical Home Pier. This
will allow you and your
provider to discuss medi-
cal concerns and provide
specific personalized
information for manag-
ing your healthcare. You
will also have the abil-
ity to make appointments
and request medication
refills via e-mail, mak-
ing communication easier
between you and your
team.
The NBHC staff is cur-
rently under-going exten-
sive training with mem-
bers of their Pier. This
will ensure a seamless
transition for our patients,
and will have our Piers
working as a cohesive
group while delivering
your care.
Effective and efficient
health care at NBHC
Groton is our mission. We
look forward to introduc-
ing you to Medical Home
in the next few months.
We are committed to
meeting your healthcare
needs. Watch for updates
on the clinics website
and the Naval Health
Clinic New England
(NHCNE) Facebook page
as we will soon have a
Medical Home link for
you to access.
Medical Home is coming soon to NBHC

An American Red Cross
community blood drive is
scheduled at a convenient
location near you this month.
All eligible and new blood
donors are encouraged to
give blood. All blood types
are needed. Blood donors
are needed every day to help
ensure an adequate blood
supply for patients in need.
One unit of blood can help
up to three patients.
Each day, the Connecticut
Region needs to collect
approximately 650 units
of blood and platelets for
patients and hospitals.
Anyone, even a member of
your own family could need
blood. In fact, every two sec-
onds, someone in the United
States needs blood. Blood
has a limited shelf life and
must constantly be replen-
ished. The only source of
blood is a healthy, volunteer
blood donor.
To make an appoint-
ment and to find out addi-
tional information, call the
American Red Cross at (800)
RED CROSS ((800) 733-2767)
or visit RedCrossBlood.org.
Individuals who are at
least 17 years of age, weigh
at least 110 pounds and are
in generally good health
may be eligible to donate
blood. High school students
and donors 18 years of age
and younger also have to
meet certain height and
weight requirements. Bring
your Red Cross blood donor
card or other form of posi-
tive ID when you come to
donate.

GROTON, Conn Above, firefighters from the
Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE)
Fire Department simulate cleaning each other of
potentially dangerous chemicals during a drill on
SUBASE June 9. The scenario involved a railcar
going off the tracks and exploding, spilling its
contents onto SUBASE. Many departments from
around the base practiced responding to this
worst case scenario, in order to ensure that
SUBASE is prepared for anything. Right, Hospital
Corpsmen from Naval Branch Health Clinic
Groton tend to a simulated fainting victim at
the Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC)
during the Naval Submarine Base New London
(SUBASE) drill, June 9. During the drill EFAC
staff members went through the steps of deal-
ing with family members during a major incident
or accident on the base. Staff members saw a
wide spectrum of simulated family members
looking for help and information, from a spouse
with crying children, an angry dependant trying
to get to medical, a Sailor trying to get in contact
with her chain of command, to a spouse who
spoke very little english. Each member not only
did their job, but assisted others to ensure a
smooth operation of the EFAC.

Eight USS Missouri Sailors
leave Joplin, return to Groton
By Lt. Jennifer Cragg
Commander Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs Officer
JOPLIN, Mo. - Eight USS Missouri
(SSN 780) Sailors who took voluntary
leave to assist their namesake state

To officially thank them for their ser-
vice, Kansas City Mayor Sly James and
several city council members met the
Sailors at the Kansas City International
Airport to thank them for their efforts to
assist the residents of Joplin.
I was honored that USS Missouri
Sailors participated in clean-up efforts
in Joplin to help out our namesake
state, said Chief Yeoman (SS) Mike
Shea, who led the group of eight. Each
Sailor elected to take voluntary leave
for one week to offer assistance where
needed in Joplin.
The Sailors arrived in Joplin on
June 1 and assisted AmeriCorps, the
American Red Cross, and the Missouri
State Emergency Management Agency,
by organizing volunteer efforts related
to removing debris and assisting hom-
eowners gather their belongings.
During their one-week volunteer
effort, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon
met with the Sailors earlier that week.
Im very proud of our Sailors volun-
teer efforts to help the state of Missouri.
These efforts demonstrate the strong
relationship between our crew and the
state and we were honored to have been
able to contribute to the states recov-
ery efforts, said Commander Timothy
Rexrode, USS Missouri commanding
officer.
Sailors participating in the relief
effort include Lieutenant junior grade
Joe Innerst; Lt. j.g. Ryan Sullivan;
Chief Yeoman (SS) Mike Shea; Chief
Machinists Mate (SS) C.J. Kohlhofer;
Chief Culinary Specialist (SS) Andy
Scott; Electronics Technician 1st Class
(SS) Jason Fenley; Machinists Mate
2nd Class (SS/DV) Travis Fitzgerald,
and Machinists Mate 2nd Class (SS)
Pat Patterson.
The Sailors collectively amassed 504
hours of volunteer service by clearing
several acres of trees, cars and other
debris, as well as organizing the volun-
teer efforts of more than 200 on a daily
basis.
The Missouri crew consists of about
134 officers and enlisted personnel.
Missouri is the fifth Navy ship to be
named in honor of the people of the
Show Me State.

Sun & Fun around SUBASE
By BM3 Bradley Stephenson
GROTON, Conn Summer is
here at Naval Submarine Base New
London (SUBASE). The weather is
finally getting warm, so its time to
turn off the TV, put away the X-Box,
and go do something! There are a
lot of great things to do out in town
and in the state, but it can be hard
to find them, especially for a service
member who isnt from Connecticut.
There are, however, many ways to
find out what there is to do, both on
base and off, such as Information,
Tickets and Tours (ITT), Morale.
Welfare, and Recreation (MWR),
and websites, such as www.yoube-
longinct.com. Here are some of the
many fun things to do on SUBASE
and beyond.
Play golf - MWR supports the
nine-hole Goose Run Golf Course
which resides on both sides of Shark
Boulivard, near gate 10. Contact
MWR to set up a Tee-Time.
Visit the lake As of June 11,
North Lake is now open to the public.
Its family friendly atmosphere makes
it perfect for a day at the beach, and
when it gets too hot, you can always
go for a swim to cool off.
See a movie MWR often gets
early releases of big movies and
shows them in the Dealey Center
Theater for free. All you have to do
is stop by the ITT office and get your
tickets. And while youre in there,
you can subscribe to the What to Do
This Weekend e-mail newsletter that
ITT puts out for more ideas on how
to spend your liberty.
Go kayaking Thames View
Marina rents kayaks and motor boats
for use on the Thames river. You can
also take a week of sailing lessons for
$100, and be ready to shove off and
have your own adventure.
Visit the Liberty Center During
the summer, its usually a good
idea to get out and stop playing
video games all day, but sometimes
it rains, and its more fun to play
with your shipmates. The Liberty
Center is a great place to do that for
single Sailors. It has computers with
Internet access, game consoles with
game rentals available, and an in
house movie theater.
Learn to ride a motorcycle By
visiting www.navymotorcyclerider.
com you can sign up for the basic
rider course, advanced rider course,
and the sportbike course. Classes fill
up fast, so dont wait.
Play paintball MWR keeps a
paintball field on Wahoo Avenue
between the Naval Branch Health
Clinic and the Goose Run Golf
Course. Open play is on weekends
from 11 a.m. to sunset, and group
play can be organized ahead of time
by making an appointment.
Go to the zZoo There is a lot
going on outside base, too. The
Beardsley Zoo, located in Bridgeport,
is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Learn Science The Discovery
Museum and Planetarium is also
in Bridgeport. It is open Tuesday
through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. It
maintains many hands on science
exhibits.
Visit the Dinosaur Park The
Dinosaur State Park has one of the
largest dinosaur track site in North
America. The park also has many
nature trails and an arboretum. The
park is in Rocky Hill, Conn.
Most service members stationed on
SUBASE wont be here forever, so its
very important to experience what
SUBASE and Connecticut have to
offer. We work hard in the Navy, so
we need to play hard too. So contact
MWR or ITT, or make plans yourself,
and go do something, because you
deserve to have fun.

Right Spirit
Alcohol Deglamorization Campaign
By Lt. Jennifer Cragg,
Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs Officer
MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair SUBASE Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - Many people make mistakes in
life with alcohol and even drugs, but few ever get the
chance to share there experiences to help others. For
Comedian Bernie Mcgrenahan, not only does he share
his story with service members but he wraps his mes-
sage in a joke. On June 8, McGrenahan taught Sailors
from Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE)
a valuable lesson with his quick wit and engaging
comedy routine.
Command Master Chief (SS) Wesley Koshoffer,
commander, Submarine Group Two Command Master
Chief, and Senior Chief Culinary Specialist (SS/SW)
Chad White, were instrumental in bringing comedian
Bernie McGrenahan to SUBASE to parlay the lessons
hes learned in his lifetime.
Its comedy with a prevention message, said
McGrenahan, who has been educating service mem-
bers and college students over the past 15 years. He
has visited more than 1,000 bases since he started
educating about the dangers associated with all forms
of substance abuse.
The Comedy with a Cure event is Bernie McGrenahan
comedy with a message tour geared toward educating
service members about the dangers of drug and alcohol
abuse, as well as suicide prevention and the trouble it
caused throughout his career and life.
During his two presentations at the SUBASE,
McGrenahan provided insight to the experiences
while driving on the rough road of life and how les-
sons, some tragic, steered him in the direction to a
better, happier life.
Its critical to provide valuable insight to Sailors
about the signs of a drinking problem, inspiring them
to not deny the possibility of a drinking problem if
these patterns and behaviors are happening in their
lives, said McGrenahan.
McGrenahan described how at the age of 14 he
started drinking and over the years it progressed to
a battle with alcohol addition. At the age of 25 and
with three driving while intoxicated violations under
his belt, McGrenahan was sentenced to six months
in jail.
This year marks 23 years without a drink, said
McGrenahan who advised the Sailors to follow his
advice and steer away from the path he was driving
on more than two decades earlier.
McGrenahans scheduled tour comes at a poignant
time during the 101 Critical Days of Summer cam-
paign spearheaded by the Naval Safety Center. This
campaign, which runs until Labor Day, helps raise
awareness about the possible mishaps that can hap-
pen to off-duty service members during the summer
months.
We honestly care about your quality of life, that
is why these types of events are so important, said
Koshoffer. This event ties with the steady stream of
information about our current alcohol and drug abuse
prevention efforts.
Sailors learn a lesson, through comedy
Photo by BM3 Bradley Stephenson
GROTON, Conn - Bernie McGrenahan
amuses Sailors with comedy while
delivering a heartfelt message at
the Dealey Center Theater, June 8.
The comedian used observational
humor and stories from his life
to illustrate the life lessons he
has learned since he was arrested
for his 3rd DUI. Though at times
hard hitting, his message was
sincere and inspirational, and he
managed to be funny throughout.
McGrenaham has appeared on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno and
Comedy Central.
