I have one consolation that lives with me today.
That God is near to them, in his own special
way.
So God in all Your mercy, keep near Thyself the
soul,
Of every Submariner, still on his final patrol.
Lord, this departed shipmate with Dolphins on
his chest
is part of an outfit known as the best.
Make him welcome and take him by the hand.
You'll find without a doubt he was the best in
all the land.
So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
will always keep their memories alive.

REMEMBERING PEARL HARBOR DECEMBER 7,1941
Remembering Pearl Harbor - National Geographic Education
Pearl Harbor Interactive ... Xpeditions is now archived in National Geographic Education's new website—natgeoed.org
My cousin, Pat Wolk Hamm's father, Joseph Wolk was a gunner's mate aboard the USS Tennessee during the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Ervin O. Schmidt was aboard the USS California moored at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. The aerial attack launched by the Japanese caused the ship enormous damage. Ninety-eight crew members were lost and sixty-one wounded. A motorized launch pulled Schmidt from the water. In the confusion he was listed as missing in action. Before his family learned differently, they held a funeral in his honor. Later, he join the USS Submarine Service, serving aboard the USS Saury, USS Torsk (SS-423) and the USS Balao.

NEWS-01: VA Dental Insurance Program (VADIP) Submitted
by: Office on 11/26/2013
------------------------------------------------------
VA is implementing a comprehensive national VA Dental
Insurance Program (VADIP) to give enrolled Veterans and CHAMPVA beneficiaries
the opportunity to purchase dental insurance through Delta Dental and MetLife
at a reduced cost. Participation is voluntary. Purchasing a dental plan does
not affect Veterans’ eligibility for VA dental services and treatment.
VADIP opens November 15 for the purchasing of plans, with coverage beginning
January 1, 2014.

VET-01: VA warns of new 'marketing scam'
Submitted by: Office on 11/26/2013
---------------------------------------------------------
The Veterans Affairs Department is warning veterans about
a “marketing scam” that reportedly targets callers trying to
reach two of VA’s national call centers.
A marketing company
two phone numbers that differ from the real VA numbers by one
digit. If a veteran misdials and calls
the bogus number, the answering party will offer a gift card and try to obtain
sensitive personal data, to include credit card information. Please note that the VA will
“never” ask for credit card or banking information over the
phone.

VET-02: Veterans Identification Card
Submitted by: Office on 11/26/2013
---------------------------------------------------------
The VA has published this statement on their website:
Veterans are warned to keep their VIC safe and secure.
The VIC protects the privacy of Veterans' sensitive
information, as it no longer displays the Social Security Number or Date of
Birth on the front of the card.
BUT, Some bar code readers, including those available as
applications on cell phones, can scan the bar code on the front of the card,
and reveal the Veteran’s social security number. This could make the
Veteran subject to identity theft if the card is lost or stolen.

The attack submarine Dallas is coming home to Groton for
the holidays — and for good, following its final deployment after more
than 30 years in service.
Dallas has deployed to every operational theater,
circumnavigating the globe and passing through the Panama Canal in 1984. It
later supported operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Complex Repair Under Way On Submarine Montpelier
Submitted by: Office on 11/22/2013
---------------------------------------------------------
More than a year after a collision that tore off the
upper rudder and damaged the hull, the submarine Montpelier remains under
repair at Newport News Shipbuilding, Va. The work, envisioned early on as
needing only a few months, turned out to be much more extensive, and the ship
isn’t expected to be returned to full service until April.
The work has involved completely rebuilding the rudder
assembly and replacing a large chunk of the pressure hull over the engine room.

---------------------------------------------------------
Our Constitution and Bylaws Chairman is
Richard Nelson
901 Canterbury Ln
Keller, TX
76248-5224
817-337-0371
He is the one to send Proposed Amendments to for
consideration for the national ballot.
By email is preferable, but snail mail will also work.
It is his job to ensure the Proposed Amendments:
1. Are complete statements which will stand on their own
merit.
2. Clearly state the intent of the author and the section
of the organization policy affected.
3. Reflect the estimated or actual cost, if any, to the
organization.
4. Are legible, limited to one agenda item, and conform
to procedures as established by the Committee Chairman.
5. Are signed and dated by the author.
6. When proposed amendments to both the National
Constitution and the National Bylaws are received for review, ensure there are
neither duplicated nor frivolous submissions on identical subjects, and place
them in the proper wording for inclusion into the Constitution or Bylaws when
if passed. In the event of conflict between two or more proposed amendments,
determine if they are essentially the same and compose wording without change
to the original intent and make the decision as to whether one or both proposed
amendments are acceptable to be placed on the ballot. The committee shall make
a conscious effort to identify and remedy any proposed amendment that may cause
a ripple effect.
7. Upon completion of review and with the
committee’s comments attached, submit proposed amendments to amend the
Constitution and Bylaws to the National Secretary in time sufficient for the
Board of Directors to review and approve the proposed amendments for
preparation of the National Ballot.

NEWS-06: AMERICAN SUBMARINER - Submitting Material for
Publication Submitted by: Chuck Emmett on 11/24/2013
---------------------------------------------------------
WHY GUIDELINES?
There is but one single motivating factor for the
existence of this notice. The main
objective of the Editor and Staff of the American Submariner is to entertain
and inform our readers with the best information available, and these
guidelines will help us in the creation and production of the best possible
publication for our Sub Vets and others in our submariner community.
The input is what determines how good a magazine is.
Articles about what we all have experienced, about community projects that the
bases have participated, reunions of the different boats, and other
submarine-related news. All these things factor into how good a magazine is or
will be.
This magazine is not a forum about religion or politics.
Articles with reference to these topics will be rejected out of hand.
The amount of material received per issue is huge. All
articles are reviewed by the editor for that upcoming issue. Some articles are
rejected, while others may not appear in the magazine but on the electronic
version. Of necessity, the Editor is the only person deciding which articles go
into the magazine.
HOW DO YOU INCREASE THE PROBABILITY THAT YOUR ARTICLE
WILL GET PUBLISHED?
1. Write
something related to the submariner community that is of National Interest to
our reading audience. Something based on a personal experience or that of a
shipmate to which the audience can relate is always a plus.
2. Write the
best article using proper grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. Get
help from your family, friends, and use spell check and grammar check options
on your computer.
3. Articles
should be submitted in MS Word (*.doc) format if at all possible. Otherwise, it
should be submitted as a “txt” file. Use single spacing with
proper upper and lower case letters. NOTE:
I CANNOT USE ARTICLES SUBMITTED IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
4. Photos
“make” a story and should be used whenever possible, BUT NOT
embedded in your article. YOU MUST PROPERLY IDENTIFY PEOPLE IN YOUR PHOTOS.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN REJECTION.
5. Your articles
and photos must be transmitted digitally. If you yourself cannot accomplish
this, find a friend with a computer and either have it sent by e-mail or loaded
onto a CD-ROM and that in turn mailed.
6. Articles
should be emailed to American-Submariner@cox.net
or, if not possible, on a CD disc to Chuck Emmett, 7011 W. Risner Road,
Glendale, AZ 85308-8074.
Things to Remember . . .
Story Quality: None of us are “Ernest
Hemmingway.” Don’t try to a masterpiece. Put down the classic
information, “who, what, when and where,” and I’ll
do the rest. Of course, the less work an article needs the more natural it may
be for me to consider it. BUT I WON’T REJECT A GREAT STORY JUST
BECAUSE IT’S WRITTEN POORLY. I can scan in stories on paper but they
must be typed and clearly legible.
Picture Quality: Pictures must be the highest resolution
you can get (this is the “dpi” or dots-per-inch) and in
either “jpg,” “png” of
“tiff” format. A resolution of 180 dpi is good, 300 dpi is
better. 72 dpi or less just won’t make it. If you can’t get
this, send the original photograph (BUT THEY CAN’T BE RETURNED!)
Title: Your
article must bear a suggested name (it must have a Title.) The Editor will
assign the final “Title” (Headline) to your story.
SIZE MATTERS! Smaller is always better! A 150-300 word
story is ideal. There are about 700 words to a page. With 600 words there is no
room for pictures. Longer articles may be published as a serial type of story
based on the Editor’s decision.
I am new to the Editor, American Submariner role. For the
time being, I will try and acknowledge articles. This may become impossible
later.
There are two dedicated ways to reach me:
Phone: (623) 478-2653
“In addition to perpetuating the memory of
departed shipmates, we shall provide a way for all Submariners to gather for
the mutual benefit and enjoyment . .

It is that Turkey time of year once more and I wish each
and every one of you the very best for you and your families. Of special note is the generosity of the
members of the Groton Base who managed to put together a 100 Turkey repast for
the local Shipmates. Well done!
Remember that as soon as you finish dinner on the 28th it
is time to put up those Christmas and Hanukkah decorations to celebrate in the
manner to which you are accustomed, followed almost immediately by Black
Friday, so everyone has something to do.
It is always a good time to do something. How about each of us bringing in a new member
between now and the first of the year?
Just One!
