Paramedics assigned to the fire station at Naval SupportFacility (NSF) Indian Head were honored May 17 for life-saving work they performed during the last year. Four fire-fighter-paramedics were recognized with Navy Fire andEmergency Services Life-Saving Certificates for actionsthat saved five lives on the installation and in the localcommunity.

The rescues outside the base's fence line were per-formed as fulfillment of the ongoing mutual aid agreementbetween Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP)and local Maryland communities.

"These gentlemen have been very busy this year," saidTracy Hall, chief of the NSF Indian Head Fire Department,of the paramedics. "This [recognition] is not something wetake lightly. It's not something we just do, but when theseguys make a difference, like they have been in the commu-nity and we have the outcomes that we've had, we decidedthey needed to be recognized."

Firefighter-paramedics George Edelen, Frankie Hannahand Wayne Sanders were recognized for saving one life onOct. 14, 2011, when they "administered life-saving care toa patient having seizures and cardiac arrest, thereby savinghis life," according to the citations.

Edelen and Sanders were also recognized for actions onthe Potomac River on Dec. 15, 2011, when they rescued aduck hunter whose boat had capsized into the frigid water.Sadly, another hunter on the same boat had alreadyslipped beneath the water by the time the paramedics ar-rived on-scene. His body was recovered the next day.NSASP received a letter of thanks from the victim's familyfor the support provided during the tragedy.

"The way you guys handled this event was appreciat-

ed," added Capt. Pete Nette, NSASP commanding officer."Thank you."

Hannah and Sanders were recognized for a Jan. 4, 2012call, when they worked as a team to administer "life-saving

care to a female patient in cardiac arrest, thereby savingher life," according to the citations.

community, just like ours in Colo-nial Beach. Each will be remem-bered with a smile, a laugh, a tear,a memory."

Nette connected the sacrificesof yesterday to today's struggleagainst Islamic extremism. "Inthis era, the best defense is an as-sertive offense," he said. "Thatmeans a fighting Navy and itsbrothers in arms, our MarineCorps, Army, Air Force, Coast-guardsmen, and National Guard."

It was a fighting Navy and anassertive offense that won the dayfor America 70 years ago at theBattle of Midway. "Some 70 yearsago Americans engaged in a bru-tal four-day battle at Midway, inthe Pacific," said Nette, at the May30 Memorial Day ceremony onboard NSF Dahlgren.

"Prior to this action, the Japan-ese possessed naval superiorityover the United States. After theattack on Pearl Harbor, they couldusually choose when and wherethey wanted to attack. Japanseemed unstoppable."

Through code-breaking, plan-ning and above all, sacrifice, thetide was turned. "After the amaz-ing sacrifice of Sailors andMarines at Midway, the two op-posing fleets were essentiallymatched. The United States soontook the offense and the momen-tum of the war," said Nette.

"Midway was a statement ofthe importance of naval power. Itwas a pitched battle of sacrifice

and struggle against an extraordi-

narily capable opponent, but

most of all it was a battle thatshowed the world what the Amer-

ican Sailor could do."The message was the same at

the ceremony held later the sameday at Indian Head's Village GreenPavilion. "The stories of courageat Midway are remarkable inevery sense," said Nette. "Fromthe stories of Sailors who stayed attheir post until the bitter end, tostories of Sailors who rescuedtheir shipmates from the sinkingcarrier (USS) Yorktown.

"This battle had many heroes:the code breakers who gave us thelocation and date of the battle, theshipyard workers who prepared thefleet, the Airmen and Marines whofought for Midway Island and theSailors who fought at sea. The ac-tions taken by the individuals whofought in this battle, the strength oftheir character and the firmness oftheir resolve is why this battle is sosignificant in our history."

Virginia Senator MarkWarner pledged his supportfor the Dahlgren Heritage Mu-seum when he met with theproject's board at the Univer-sity of Mary Washington's(UMW's) Dahlgren Campuson May 21.

Members of the DahlgrenHeritage Board highlightedhow the museum will go be-yond its primary, historicalmission to benefit the com-munity as a promoter of sci-ence, technology and environ-mental stewardship.

"We feel that the museumand the benefits of the founda-tion for the community aretremendous," said RudyBrabo, member of the KingGeorge County Board of Su-pervisors. "[The DahlgrenHeritage Museum] is the firstof its kind and is going to bethe model for future militarymuseums."

The Dahlgren HeritageMuseum will be located at asite on loan from the VirginiaTourism Corporation for "10bucks a year," according to Dr.Robert Gates, fundraisingchair for the museum and a

former technical director atthe Naval Surface WarfareCenter Indian Head Division(NSWC IHD). The site, whichcurrently houses an old visitorcenter, will serve as a tourismgateway to the Northern Neck.

The museum will featureindoor displays inside the3,000-square-foot facility anda walking trail to outdoor dis-plays, which will include his-toric naval guns.

While Naval Support Facil-ity (NSF) Dahlgren is well

known for its role in the devel-opment of naval guns, Warnerhad not heard about its workat the dawn of the computerage. Gates described theroom-sized Aiken Relay Calcu-lator brought to Dahlgren in1947. The machine famouslyfailed due to a moth in the re-lays, the first instance of acomputer "bug."

The story impressedWarn-er and the board did not haveto wait long to receive his en-dorsement.

"What can I do to help? heasked. Gates presented theboard's concerns regardingthe museums fund-raising, as[JUMP]well as the uncertaintysurrounding its site at the oldvisitor center. Maryland'splans to renovate the HarryNice Bridge involve the sameground, though that projecthas stalled due to the state'sbudget situation.

"The rate of speed that Vir-ginia, Maryland and the coun-try is moving on infrastructureright now, it may be sometime," said a half-jokingWarn-er, who later spoke at lengthabout Congressional gridlock.

Warner pledged work with[JUMP]potential donors, suchas defense contractors andutilities, and said he would in-clude language in the Senateversion of a future NationalDefense Authorization Actsupporting the museum. Healso noted that federal fundingfor projects like the DahlgrenHeritage Museum may not beforthcoming.

That fact was well under-stood by the board, which hashad to explain to potentialdonors that, contrary to popu-lar belief, the Dahlgren Her-

Base Happenings

Civilian and military per-sonnel from Naval SupportFacility Dahlgren and its ten-ant commands attending the2012 Academic Fair flockedto the University of MaryWashington Dahlgren Cam-pus May 15 to speak with rep-resentatives of universitiesabout their plans to pursuedegree programs rangingfrom the associates to doctor-al levels.

Computer science, com-puter engineering, electricalengineering, systems engi-neering, mathematics,physics and engineeringmanagement were the mostpopular degree disciplinesdiscussed between 125 atten-dees and university represen-tatives.

"A common themeamong the CommonwealthGraduate Engineering Pro-gram (CGEP) schools in at-tendance was the move to of-

fer an increased number ofacademic courses in onlineformat," said NSWCDD Aca-demic Programs ManagerDebbie Bardine. "The onlineformat should provide in-

creased flexibility for our em-ployees and enable them tocomplete academic course-work even if their job requiresregular travel."

The CGEP schools -

George Mason University,Old Dominion University,University ofVirginia,VirginiaCommonwealth University,andVirginia Tech - joined theUniversity of Mary Washing-ton; Naval PostgraduateSchool; RappahannockCommunity College andGermanna Community Col-lege at the Naval SurfaceWar-fare Center Dahlgren Divi-sion (NSWCDD) sponsoredevent.

NSWCDD Workforce De-velopment and Trainingteam members answeredquestions related to NSWCDahlgren academic benefits,policies and procedures.

"Although attendees wereprimarily NSWCDD civilianemployees, other tenantcommands, active duty mili-tary and government con-tractors were also represent-ed," said Bardine.

NSWCDD Academic Fair focuseson science and engineering atUMW Dahlgren Campus

Joe Weeks, NSWC Dahlgren Division InformationTechnical Coordinator, briefs an attendee aboutuniversities offering a wide range of academicdegree programs at the 2012 Academic Fair heldin the University of Mary Washington DahlgrenCampus auditorium May 15.

well as the uncertainty surrounding its site at the old visitorcenter. Maryland's plans to renovate the Harry Nice Bridge in-volve the same ground, though that project has stalled due tothe state's budget situation.

"The rate of speed that Virginia, Maryland and thecountry is moving on infrastructure right now, it may besome time," said a half-joking Warner, who later spoke atlength about Congressional gridlock.

Warner pledged work with potential donors, such as de-fense contractors and utilities, and said he would includelanguage in the Senate version of a future National DefenseAuthorization Act supporting the museum. He also notedthat federal funding for projects like the Dahlgren HeritageMuseum may not be forthcoming.

That fact was well understood by the board, which hashad to explain to potential donors that, contrary to popularbelief, the Dahlgren Heritage Museum is not federallyfunded.

That led to a frank discussion about the situation inWashington, which has weighed heavily on the minds offederal employees and service members in the region in re-

cent months. "Until we can get Democrats to agree thatwe've got to reform our entitlements, until we can get Re-publicans to agree we've got to reform our tax code, noth-ing is going to get fixed," said a clearly-frustrated Warner.

When asked about the prospects of solving the federalbudget gridlock, Warner said a solution would come due tosheer necessity, but pointed out the obstacles. "The insti-tutional forces, the interest groups, the lobbying folks, theydon't want to get it fixed," he said. "Or, they say 'we wantto get it fixed, but don't touch mine.'"

Political headaches aside, Warner praised the effort tomake the Dahlgren Heritage Museum a reality. "I think it'sa great vision," he said. "Dahlgren has played an importantrole for many, many years in the national defense. Thiswould be a great place to highlight that."

After the discussion, Warner and members of his staffdrove on board Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren fora tour of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Divi-sion's (NSWCDD's) electromagnetic rail gun facility, theSurface Warfare Mission Package (SUW MP) and the GunMission Module (GMM). Warner also met with leaders ofthe Joint Warfare Analysis Center.

Warner was briefed on the programs' progress and ca-pabilities before leaving base, but not before he told com-mand officials that he would return.

For only the second time in the past four years, civilians areeligible to lease two-bedroom townhomes on Naval SupportFacility Dahlgren.

Lincoln Military Housing (LMH), the management com-pany for family housing units on the base, announced lastmonth that it is now offering either six-month or 12-monthleases on the townhomes to (in priority order) single Sailorsand Sailors in geo-bachelor status, military retirees, FederalCivil Service employees, Federal Civil Service retirees, andcivilians.

The last time civilians were afforded an opportunity to renton-base housing was in 2009. At that time, a dozen people tookup Lincoln Military Housing's offer and moved into the town-homes, which were built in 1996.

LMH was selected by the Navy to assume managementof all military family housing on Navy installations through-out the mid-Atlantic region in a public-private partnershipin 2005. Whereas LMH-managed housing is normally re-served for military members and their families, the companyhas the option to open on-base housing to non-active-dutymilitary renters when housing units are vacant.

Living on base offers a number of benefits. All utilities areincluded in monthly rent. Lawn care and landscaping areprovided by LMH. Quality of life facilities, such as the baseaquatics center, fitness center, Craftech and base theater arejust a short walk from the housing area.

LMH also sponsors a number of free programs each month

for housing residents and their families to include trips, tickets,contests and other events.

As an added bonus, children in pre-kindergarten througheighth grade may attend the DoD-run Dahlgren School onbase. This benefit would not be extended to military retireesliving in base housing unless they are DoD employees.

Several units are available for occupancy immediately. In-terested parties are required to undergo a credit check and paya security deposit. Once a tenant's initial six-month or 12-month lease expires, the lease automatically becomes month-to-month.

Interested parties should contact the Lincoln MilitaryHousing office at (540) 663-2190.

Edelen, Hannah and Sanders saved an-other life on Apr. 18, when they gave life-saving care to a 64-year-old female in car-diac arrest.

The last firefighter-paramedic to berecognized was the firehouse rookie, Jere-my Misenhelder. He had less than twomonths on the job when he worked withHannah and Sanders on May 9 to admin-ister life-saving care to a 74-year-old fe-male in cardiac arrest. All three men re-ceived Life-Saving Certificates for theiractions.

In addition to certificates, the firefight-er-paramedics received a lapel pin denot-ing the number of lives each man hassaved. The visual recognition has been animportant feature of the Navy Fire andEmergency Service Program since 2010.

"It shows you the significant and valu-able service these guys provide," said CarlGlover, the Chief of Naval InstallationsCommand (CNIC) director for Navy Fireand Emergency Services, who attendedthe ceremony. "We certainly appreciatethem."

For the rookie Misenhelder, the pin de-noted one life saved. For the veteran Ede-len, the pin denoted seven lives saved.

"We're fortunate to have an advancedlife support unit here at Indian Head,"said Edelen. "In short, we can prettymuch do everything for somebody in theback of our ambulance that they can do

for you in an emergency room, shy ofthree things: lab work, major surgical pro-cedures and x-rays. If we're in a pinch, wehave a radio and we can consult with anyspecialist in the Washington metropolitanarea and get orders to do special [opera-tions] and procedures."

Edelen and firefighting leaders fromNSASP and NDW praised a new piece ofgear onboard NSF Indian Head's ambu-lance as a major upgrade in their life-sav-ing capabilities. The Lifepak 15 defibrilla-tor can administer drugs, provide electri-cal treatment and is capable of raising andlowering a patient's blood pressure. Thetechnology is not cheap, but it providesthe installation and region with the mostadvanced life-saving gear available.

Of course, such technology is of limit-ed use without skilled people to operateit. "Here at Indian Head, we're deter-mined and we're aggressive," said Edelen."That's why we do what we do. I think theguys here have the same attitude I do;we're determined to do the job and havea successful outcome. If you don't give up,you're going to have a good outcome.With that and the Lord on our side, we doa good job."

Edelen had barely finished his remarkswhen a call interrupted the ceremony. He,along with Hannah, Misenhelder andSanders scrambled to the ambulance torespond to an off-base call. A minor wassuffering from a potential drug-overdoseand needed immediate transport to thehospital. The minor, like the communityaround NSF Indian Head, was in goodhands.

Sailors from the AegisTraining and ReadinessCenter (ATRC) participatedin a Navy and Marine CorpsRelief Society (NMCRS)Fundraiser coordinated byATRC's Fire Controlman 1stClass Jeremiah Wright andFire Controlman 2nd ClassStephen Ainley on Friday,May 18, outside by the gaze-bo. During the event, someparticipants got a littlemessy!

The "Pie in the Face"contest not only raisedmoney, but also Sailors'awareness about the impor-tance of Sailors taking careof Sailors. "ATRC makes upa small percentage of theFleet but we were able toraise over $1,000 for ourshipmates," Wright said.

The NMCRS providesnearly four million Sailors,Marines, and their familieswith financial assistance inthe form of loans, grants,and scholarships. In addi-tion, it provides servicessuch as financial counsel-ing.

For a week and a half,ATRC military and civiliansbid on military personnel.The top bidder for eachcandidate had the honor ofthrowing a pie into the face

of their selectee. The topseven selectees were (7) FireControlman 1st Class Jere-my Shevokas, (6) Chief FireControlman ChristopherOdachowski, (5) SeniorChief Fire ControlmanCharles Nobles, (4) FireControlman 1st ClassMatthew Irwin, (3) FireControlman David Rogers,(2) Capt. Ian Hall, ATRC'scommanding officer, and(1) Senior Chief LogisticsSpecialist Marvin Hayden,the command's senior en-listed leader.

Right before the contestbegan, Cmdr. Kip Rossetti,ATRC's Executive Officer,

announced that he wouldpartake in the contest ifATRC could reach the$1,000 mark. In less thanfive minutes, Sailors haddonated enough money forRossetti to take a pie in theface.

With blueberries, piecrust, and whipped creamsmeared upon their faces,all participants, includingHall, were all smiles. "I ama huge supporter of Sailorstaking care of other Sailorsand their family members,"Hall explained. "If taking apie in the face helped ashipmate, then it was wellworth it."
