Fuels Team Plans Super Hornet Biofuels Flight Test
By Robert Kaper, Naval Air Systems Command
The Naval Air Systems Command fuels team is gearing up
for biofuels flight tests in an F/A-18 Super Hornet at Patuxent
River, Md., by next spring or summer, according to NAVAIR’s
fuel expert.
Rick Kamin, Navy fuels lead, explained that before
“biofueling" the plane, the team will first conduct laboratory and
rig tests at Pax River, followed by static engine tests with the
Super Hornet’s F414 engine on a test stand at the Lynn, Mass.,
facility of manufacturer General Electric. The static tests will
take place probably in the December-January time frame,”
Kamin said.
The NAVAIR fuels team is also getting ready to kick off a
similar effort to test and certify biofuels for use on ships.
The upcoming tests are part of a larger effort to test and cer-

Once the ship arrived at Pier 7, preparations of the quay wall by FISC Norfolk’s Ocean Terminal stevedores allowed the ship to
lower its roll-on/roll-off ramp to allow access to the ship’s storage area. The ship also had to ballast the ship down 3 feet so the ramp
would align properly to the quay wall. In 100+ degree weather, the stevedores took great care in building the wooden approach to
the ship’s loading ramp to prevent a low hanging radar done on the V-22 aircrafts from hitting the ramp. This was the first time a V-

One program that has been lean and green from as far back

Island, Craney Island Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) is
home to the largest fuel reclamation operation in the Department
of Defense. Although the program has been in place for over 50
years, this is no static program. Over the past five years, Craney

process. “Since starting work at Craney Island in 1972, I have tested FOR at least 500

meets every specification.”
As the product ages in the settling tank, water and other impurities drop out as a
function of time and temperature (heat accelerates the process). The product is sam-
pled and tested periodically until meeting the FOR specification. Once the product
meets proper fuel specifications, it is stored in Craney Island storage tanks until pur-
chased by a customer, such as PWC Utilities. The FOR is then transported to Naval
Station Norfolk via one of Craney Island's organic YON fuel barges, where it is
burned at a steam plant for power generation.
The Product
The FOR specification is approved for use by the Department of the Navy, and is
available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the DoD. FOR is a product of a
mixture of a variety of oils, and is subject to regulation by 40 CFR 266, Sub-part E.
FOR can be used as a substitute for ASTM D 396 either directly or as a blend in sta-

Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid when Moving Household Goods
Moving. It’s an accepted fact of life if you are a Sailor or
military family member. The moving process can be stressful.
This is particularly true the first few times you move. The mili-
tary has many rules, restrictions, and requirements that can be
confusing. Worse yet, if you make a mistake it can end up cost-
ing you money out of your paycheck. So, what are the most
common mistakes and how can you avoid them?
Naval Supply Systems Command’s Navy Family Support
Household Goods team members put their more than 100 years
of experience together to develop these simple rules:
Exceeding the Maximum Weight Allowance Service
members are limited to a set amount of weight based upon their
military rank and dependent status. This limit is set in law by
Congress. If a member exceeds his allowed weight, the Navy
will pay the mover on behalf of the member, but will then initi-
ate collection action from the member. “Navy auditors located
in Norfolk, Va., review every move, so if someone should ex-
ceed the authorized weight allowance, a bill will eventually
come his way. Dispose of worn out and unnecessary items be-
fore the move to avoid wasteful packing, moving, or storage
expenses which increase the cost of the move. If you feel you
are close to your authorized weight limit, request a re-weigh of
the shipment prior to delivery at destination. The Government
will pay on the lower of the two certified weights and subse-
quently the member will be charged based on the lower weight,”
said Kermit Horn, Navy Household Goods Traffic Management
Specialist.
Committing Fraud It may sound harsh, but it is a fact of life
that some people will always be tempted to try to beat the sys-
tem. Navy Household Goods Audit Division audits 100 percent

Regulation (JFTR) authorizes a 60 percent advance payment
based on the total "estimated" weight to be shipped (not to ex-
ceed the JFTR authorized weight limit). “It is tempting to pro-
vide the household goods counselor an inflated weight figure so
you will get a big check. Beware. The ‘estimated’ payment on
the Form DD2278 (Application for Do-It-Yourself Move and
Counseling Checklist) is based upon that ‘estimated’ weight.
So, if you give a higher weight estimate than you actually move,
you may very well end up owing money back,” Piacine said.
Not Understanding Full Replacement Value Insurance
Customers can settle disputes over lost/destroyed household
goods directly with the moving company for Full Replacement
Value (FRV). “As a general rule, the Transportation Service
Provider (TSP) will repair, or pay you for the repair of damaged
items, or replace, or pay you for the replacement of items lost or
destroyed beyond economical repair. FRV also covers your
items placed in Storage-in-Transit (SIT) as well as Non-
Temporary Storage (NTS). There are limits to the TSPs liability
for loss or damage to personal property: In order to obtain FRV,
claims must be filed directly with the TSP, not the Military
Claims Offices (MCO),” said Navy Household Goods Traffic
Management Specialist Richard McIntire. “FRV claims must be
filed within nine months. If your claim is filed directly with the
TSP within nine (9) months of delivery, the TSP’s liability on
each household goods shipment is a minimum of $5,000 per
