WASHINGTON – Whether you’re juststarting out, or have been riding motor-cycles a long time but need a refresher onsafety, there’s a basic rider course availablewithin the National Capital Region (NCR)that helps riders get into gear. Best part ofall - the course is free to all military, retir-ees, dependents and Department of De-fense (DOD) civilians.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) hasthe only certified Motorcycle Safety Foun-dation (MSF) course and trainer bikes in-side the beltway for the required trainingand retraining requirements, according toWade Koehler, a safety specialist for JBABand himself a certified instructor throughMSF since 2006.

He said all training on base is conductedat its vehicle training range across from En-terprise Hall. The basic rider course, whichis a three day course, covers everythingfrom road safety to rider tips and mechani-cal understanding.

“I like seeing people get enthusias-tic about the course. That’s the best part

WASHINGTON - Summer heat can be ajoy to some and burden to others. Whetherrelishing in the warmth, or trying to avoid it,the rising temperature can wreak havoc onthe body. With three deaths in the region al-ready attributed to the heat, the recent spikein warm weather should be considered withsafety in mind.

“Hyperthermia is caused by a failure of theheat-regulating mechanisms of the body todeal with the heat coming from the environ-ment,” said Kim Calvin, program assistant atthe National Institute on Aging. “[Heat emer-gencies such as] heat fatigue, heat syncope -sudden dizziness after prolonged exposure tothe heat - heat cramps, heat exhaustion andheat stroke are all forms of hyperthermia.

These conditions can pose special healthrisks for older adults, and can increase withthe combination of outside temperature, gen-eral health and individual lifestyle.”

The Red Cross advises being informed ofweather conditions and expected heat waves,and to be aware of any personal physical con-ditions such as heart disease or high bloodpressure that can put a person at higher riskof being affected by a heat related emergency.If a local heat advisory is in effect, avoid orpostpone outdoor activities and stay inside,preferably in air conditioned spaces. Wearlight, loose-fitting clothing, and drink plentyof water. For those without air conditioningin their homes, public facilities such as librar-ies, malls and some local museums - such as

for me,” Koehler said. “Studentsclearly come away with moreknowledge and a better under-standing on how to be safe. That’sthe whole focus.”

For beginners looking to breakinto the ranks, it’s equally gratify-ing, according to Sandy Casey, di-rector of JBAB’s Safety Office. Shesaid the course has received ravereviews over the years and has thefull support of the Commander,Naval Installations Command(CNIC).

“Non-riders learn somethingnew and come away with skillsthey never had before,” Casey said.“Being the only certified course inthe beltway is something we’re re-ally proud of here at JBAB.”

Andy Stoefl, a retired Navyservice member who serves as aninstructor with MSF, said thereare three courses available toprospective students: basic rider,advanced rider and military sport

bike rider. Any one of those cours-es can be found on JBAB or on aninstallation within Naval DistrictWashington (NDW) at least once amonth, he said.

“It’s a great class for riders toget certified once again with theirstate. We get quite a few peoplewho are looking to do that,” Stoefladded. “Though, for those whohave never even gotten on a bikebefore, it’s a fantastic way to learnthe basics and get started. The in-formation and hands-on trainingis extremely valuable.”

Air Force Staff Sgt. Chris Tyneswas one of 10 participating in arecent basic rider course on JBAB.Despite being a motorcycle vet-eran for nearly 15 years, he stillfound the course insightful for thefuture.

“It’s a great course with greatinstructors. I love the fact that’sit’s also free for service members,”Tynes said. “You can never betoo safe out on the road. I alwaysfind myself learning new things.That was certainly true with thiscourse.”

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- A congressio-nally mandated pilot program set to launchJuly 25 will enhance an existing Defense De-partment program that provides care andtreatment for military children with autism,a senior DOD official said.

Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secre-tary of defense for health affairs and directorof the TRICARE Management Activity metwith reporters yesterday to explain the newprogram.

An estimated 8,500 children of active-duty military families have a form of autism,Woodson said. He sought to dispel militaryparents’ concerns about rumors of a poten-tial loss in benefits for their children with

autism and autism spectrum disorder.“We understand that there’s a lot of anxi-

ety in the community of interest around au-tism about suspected changes that wouldadversely affect care,” he said. “Providingcare to children who have autism spectrumdisorder and making sure they get the fullrange of care they need is a priority to us.”

“All care will be continued,” Wood-son added, noting that active-duty servicemembers’ children’s autism care benefits inthe applied behavior analysis administeredthrough TRICARE would not change.

“Anyone who’s receiving care under the(Enhanced Access to Autism Services Dem-onstration) -- there will be no change,” hesaid.

There’s also no change in benefits to any-one enrolled in the basic medical programthat began July 2012, Woodson said. An ex-

pansion of services through the autism pilotprogram, he added, will also allow retireesand their families to receive ASD benefits.

Autism care and treatment is evolving,Woodson said.

“In the future, we’ll try to identify whatthe best practice is for the periodic assess-ments -- who should get it and over whatperiod of time,” he said, noting the pilotprogram is expected to yield “great insight”into evaluation protocols.

The pilot program was developed bycrafting requirements through consult-ing with experts in the field and advocacygroups to “try to find validated tests and thebest strategy for focusing on what would bethe right care at the right time for children(with autism),” Woodson said.

Woodson said the pilot program’s overallfocus is directed at families, and what is bestfor their child. Parents’ input will be sought

to ensure their issues are represented as theprogram is shaped, he added.

There is “an expanding need and rec-ognition” of military families with childrenwho have autism,” Woodson said. Integralto increasing autism treatment capability,he said, is having a large network of provid-ers that work with autistic children.

“We continually try to improve ... (and)expand our network of providers,” he said.“I think we have one of the most robust net-works available.”

Woodson said it is “paramount” for chil-dren with autism to obtain professionalreassessments to ensure they get the rightcare, at the right time, with updated careplans.

“That’s what we’re all about,” he said.“Focusing on the child and what’s best andproviding the families with access to theseservices.”

RICH COMMANDANT

NAVAL DISTRICT WASHINGTON

Team NDW, as I assume duties as the88th commandant of Naval District Wash-ington I want to say thank you for the warmwelcome you have given me and my family.I am truly looking forward to a memorableand productive assignment and I am look-ing forward to meeting you and seeing thewonderful work you do every day.

I had an opportunity to see some of theregion during my first few weeks as com-mandant, and in the coming weeks I willbe visiting each of the installations, talkingwith your leadership and talking with youabout how we can continue to improve theway we do business. Do not be afraid to sayhello and tell me what you think.

It was a tremendous honor being se-lected to be the 88th commandant of aregion steeped in history. From Naval AirStation Patuxent River which has been onthe forefront of naval aviation research de-velopment test & evaluation since 1937, to

NSF Dahlgren which is named after JohnDahlgren, the “Father of American navalordnance,” to the Washington Navy Yardwhich is the Navy’s oldest shore installationand a favorite destination of President Lin-coln during the rigors of his presidency, thisregion has been a witness to the growth ofthe world’s finest Navy from its early begin-nings.

Today, the tradition of excellence contin-ues at NSA Annapolis where the U.S. Navalacademy trains and educates 4,000 mid-shipmen to be the Navy’s future leaders,and at NSA Bethesda which is home to themilitary’s newest world-class medical treat-ment facility. It is the work that each of youdoes every day that has earned NDW suchan exceptional reputation throughout theCNIC enterprise.

As I take the helm, we are embarking ona journey full of uncertainty, but with thatuncertainty comes great opportunity. Win-ston Churchill once said “A pessimist seesdifficulty in every opportunity, an optimistsees opportunity in every difficulty.” I amoptimistic about the future of NDW andwhat we can make it. So let’s seize this mo-

ment, and use our collective imaginations todrive and shape our future. I am countingon each of you.

I am very much aware that Reduction inForce (RIF) and furloughs and other impactsof reduced funding are very real concernsfor you. I will make every effort to keep youup-to-date and ensure you have all of thelatest information and tools available to as-sist you through this challenging time. I willbe addressing those and other relevant is-sues in the future.

Finally, I urge you to take precautionsand stay safe this summer. Your safety andwell-being are my top priority. Every singleone of you plays a vital role in carrying outour mission and we need to ensure thatyou take every precaution to take care ofyourselves and your families this vacationseason. Let’s enjoy the summer safely andtake care of our workforce, Sailors, and Navyfamilies to help make this summer and hur-ricane season mishap free.

BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON – Opportunities areabound in the military. Though, not manyare quite as unique as what’s been presentedto Air Force Col. Richard T. Lindlan – the newcommander of the 11th Operations Group(OG) at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

Lindlan, a former student at the NationalWar College at Fort McNair and a 22-yearveteran of the Air Force, is chargedwith over-seeing the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard, AirForce Band, its chaplains and civilian staff.

He has held various positions at thesquadron, wing and combatant levels, in-cluding leadership of the Air Force’s firstcombined Expeditionary Mission SupportSquadron in Afghanistan. Leading the 11thOG, however, is an opportunity too good topass up.

“I’m grateful to be able to command suchextraordinarymen andwomen. Between theHonor Guard and Air Force Band, we havean incredible mix of young and more expe-rienced Airmen,” Lindlan said. “This makesus a truly one-of-a-kind operations group. Idon’t think there’s anyone who portrays theimage of the Air Force and our core valuesbetter than this group right here.”

Helping people in a positive way is whyLindlan joined the Air Force more thantwo decades ago. He’s proud to be part of agroup that prides itself on honor , tradition

and its ability to reach out to others. Whilein Afghanistan, he remembers the magni-tude of a performance by Air Force Bandmembers. According to Lindlan, it clearlyhad an effect on not only American servicemembers in need of morale, but to Afghan

citizens who had become all too familiarwith sounds of war.

“That’s when I learned that music isthe language of the world,” Lindlan said.“Its impact goes beyond the notes that areplayed. It’s a privilege to now find myself

side-by-side with those responsible formaking something like that happen.”

As with any government or military orga-nization right now, Lindlan said reductionsare being implemented across the board.The 11th OG has seen its fair share, as well.This includes cuts in traveling and the num-ber of performances it can take on duringthe year.

While this presents a challenge to thegroup, it will not deter them from trainingand organizing events in the local commu-nity, Lindlan said.

“We have a top notch group that con-tinues to impress me every day. They canhandle anything and this is no different,” henoted. “Our responsibility to our nation’scapital, as well as honoring our fallen heroesat Arlington National Cemetery, remainsstronger than ever. Those are things we willnever lose sight of.”

Lindlan and his family have been livingin Woodbridge, Va. for the past four years.Aside from his time in Afghanistan duringOperation Enduring Freedom, he has notserved overseas in any other capacity. Ifgiven an opportunity, Lindlan would like tobe assigned to Europe. Though, until thathappens, he’s having a great time just beingan Airman.

“I tell people to bloom where they’replanted,” Lindlan added. “I encourage ourveteran military to make it better for thosecoming up the ranks. There’s no greater re-ward than helping those who follow in yourfootsteps.”

Unique experience awaits 11th Operations Group commander

the Smithsonian museumsin Washington, D.C. - offerfree entry to an air condi-tioned space to spend timeduring the warmest parts ofthe day.

A common cause of heatrelated injuries is dehydra-tion. Water should be drankat all times when the tem-perature is high, and bev-erages such as sodas, en-ergy drinks, and especiallyalcohol - though popularat summer barbeques andother outings - should beavoided.

“Alcohol is a diureticand can cause someone tobecome dehydrated eventhough they feel the drinksare satisfying their thirst,”said George Revoir Jr., Na-val Support Activity Wash-ington safety installationprogram director. “Oncethe ‘buzz’ is begun to be feltpersons should switch fromalcohol to water to maintainproper hydration.”

If a person is affectedby a heat emergency theywill display certain tell-talesymptoms. Heat exhaus-tion is characterized bycool, moist, pale, ashenor flushed skin; headache;nausea; dizziness; weak-ness; and exhaustion. If aperson is displaying signsof heat exhaustion the RedCross advises “moving theperson to a cooler environ-ment with circulating air.Remove or loosen as much

clothing as possible andapply cool, wet cloths ortowels to the skin. Fanningor spraying the person withwater also can help. If theperson is conscious, givesmall amounts of a coolfluid such as a commercialsports drink or fruit juiceto restore fluids and elec-trolytes. Water may also begiven. Give about 4 ouncesof fluid every 15 minutes.”

Heat stroke - usuallycaused when heat exhaus-tion is ignored - is a life-threatening condition char-acterized by extremely highbody temperature; red skinwhich may be dry or moist;changes in consciousness;rapid, weak pulse; rapid,shallow breathing; confu-sion; vomiting; and sei-zures. If signs of heat strokeoccur immediately call 911or base emergency services

and begin cooling the vic-tim. Cool them by immers-ing the victim in cool wateror covering them in cool,damp towels, rotating thetowels frequently. If they arealert, give the person sportsdrinks or water at a rate ofa half cup every 15 minutes.

“It is important for allpersonnel to be aware ofthe harmful effects of sum-mer weather,” said EdwardLewis, NSAW safety & occu-pational health specialist.“Many of us have jobs thattake us out in the heat, or welike to enjoy the outdoorswhen it’s nice and warm.But if someone doesn’tconsider the safety of them-selves or those aroundthem, they may become avictim and not only jeop-ardize their health, but alsotheir ultimate readiness.”

BY NAVY NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - Navy leaders have an-nounced their newest sexual assault preven-tion initiatives in a message and a policy let-ter designed to continue the service’s battleagainst this crime.

Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, chief of na-val operations, outlined additional fleet ini-tiatives recently and directed Sailors to im-plement some of the best practices provento help in combating sexual assault in theNavy.

Greenert named Rear Adm. Sean S. Buck,director of the 21st Century Sailor Office, todirect the Navy-wide implementation of ef-fort.

“Everyone, from [seaman recruit to ad-miral], must take responsibility for promot-ing a climate of dignity and respect and anenvironment that does not demean individ-uals or tolerate sexist behavior, sexual ha-rassment or sexual assault,” Buck said. “Theexecution of the sexual assault preventionand response initiatives across the fleet is animperative that I believe will have an impacton reducing, with the goal of eliminating,the crime of sexual assault from our Navy.”

The new initiatives are part of the Navy’songoing efforts to provide for the safety andsecurity of every sailor, the admiral said.

“We also are emphasizing other pro-grams like Keep What You Earn and Coali-tion of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions

to help our people understand the negativeimpact that alcohol can have on their livesand how they can support and help theirshipmates make good decisions,” he added.

While the programs and initiatives areprimarily focused on prevention, they alsoserve as a deterrent and reinforce com-manders’ responsibility for victim support,Buck noted.

“Commanders have the responsibilityfor ensuring victims of sexual assault aresupported, provided options in accordancewith Department of Defense guidance,” hesaid, “and that the allegations will be inde-pendently investigated and offenders heldappropriately accountable.”

The initiatives, to be implemented byOct. 1, include increasing leadership visibil-ity with roving barracks patrols led by chiefpetty officers or experienced officers, andaugmented with first class petty officers todeter behavior that may lead to sexual as-sault or misconduct.

Also the Navy will assign dedicated sexu-al assault prevention and response officers-- lieutenant commander or above -- to U.S.Fleet Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. NavalForces Europe, Naval Surface Forces, NavalSubmarine Forces, Naval Air Forces, Bureauof Medicine and Surgery, Naval Expedition-ary Combat Command, the Navy’s foursystems commands and U.S. Fleet CyberCommand who will report directly to theirrespective commander.

In addition, the Navy will deploy resil-ience counselors to CVN and LHD/LHAcommands by the end of fiscal year 2014.These counselors will be dedicated civilianprofessionals with sexual assault responsecoordinator training, certification and cre-dentials, and they will be able to take re-stricted and unrestricted reports of sexualassault.

The counselors will deploy with carrierstrike groups, expeditionary strike groupsand amphibious ready groups to provideservices, support and coordination for sexu-al assault prevention and response and con-tinuity of care for suicide prevention, stressreduction and other situations.

Additionally, the latest initiatives includeimplementing best practices from fleet con-centration areas throughout the fleet andrevising alcohol sales policies at Navy ex-changes worldwide.

Changes in liquor sales will be imple-mented over the next 90 days. Liquor will besold only at main exchanges or at dedicatedpackage stores, and the footprint of alcoholdisplays and merchandise in stores otherthan package stores will be no more than 10percent of the retail floor space. NEX facili-ties also will make single-use alcohol detec-tion devices available to customers.

The new initiatives also direct com-mands to ensure all sailors residing in bar-racks attend indoctrination training within30 days of occupancy.

To reduce vulnerability of sailors whilewalking on base, commanders will surveyfacilities to identify areas that require betterlighting, visibility or other safety improve-ments.

Each Navy installation and fleet concen-tration area will have a senior flag officerdesignated to lead the area sexual assaultprevention and response program. This flagofficer will establish routine coordinationmeetings with installation, local commandrepresentatives and local community andcivic leaders to review program efforts.

Duties also will include ensuring a com-munity outreach and engagement plan ispart of each area’s program. The plan mustinclude base and region commander coop-eration, coordination and consultation withlocal law enforcement, hospitals and hotels.

“Ensuring a command climate of respect,trust and professionalism is critical to com-bating sexual assault,” Buck said. To thisend, he added, commands must review theircompliance with command climate surveys,ensuring one is conducted within 90 days ofa new commanding officer assuming com-mand and every 12 months thereafter.

Also, commanders must ensure theyhave briefed their immediate superior ontheir most recent command climate assess-ment using the Defense Equal OpportunityManagement Institute Organizational Cli-mate Survey, including a plan of action andmilestones for corrective actions.
