A Pentagon Division SeaCadet returned recentlyfrom an opportunity to geta behind-the-scenes lookat what his dream will looklike if he is admitted to theU.S. Naval Academy in An-napolis, Md. Daniel Griggearned admission to theNaval Academy’s SummerSeminar, a highly-compet-itive, six-day program thatintroduces promising youngpeople from around thecountry to the academics,athletics and professionaltraining that epitomize theacademy.

“The goal is that we dideverything a midshipmanwould do,” said Grigg, anincoming senior at KingGeorge High School. “Weslept in Bancroft Hall, we atein King Hall [and] we wentto academic workshops andclasses. It was a very immer-sive experience.”

The participants’ days

during the seminar devel-oped a familiar rhythm:wake up at 0530 hours be-gin extended sessions ofphysical training. “Theydid stuff that was hard butalso intended to be fun,”said Grigg. “You had to bearcrawl across a football field.”

One novel exercise,dubbed “Bravehearts,” sawa midshipman stand in themiddle of the field play-ing bagpipes while seminarparticipants ran sprints andshouted. “It was motivat-ing,” said a smiling Grigg,who credited his experi-ences in the Sea Cadets andKing George Junior ROTCfor preparing him for thephysical challenges.

After PT, participants at-tended lectures on academylife, “invaluable” questionand answer sessions withadmissions officers, and“amazing” academic work-shops, said Grigg.

The workshops includedtime in a guided missile de-stroyer simulator and sev-

eral physics experiments. “Imade tunnels out of smokein the air,” he said. “We firedlasers. Using nothing buta sheet, we stopped an eggthat was going almost 200miles per hour. They weredemonstrating that if you

increase the surface areaand decrease the force of de-celeration, it distributes theforce evenly and you don’tbreak it.”

Another, perhaps moreunusual series of experi-ments examined how chem-

istry can control “unpleas-ant” odors, an importantconsideration in the closeconfines of a ship. “Other-wise your job stinks,” saidGrigg.

Grigg had some difficultychoosing his favorite eventat the seminar, but settledon the sea trials at the endof the week. They featuredintensive, prolonged PT ses-sions. “It was amazing,” hesaid. “We had to run anddo pushups and sit ups; werolled around in the sandand carried boats and pad-dled through the surf.”

That might not soundlike much fun to most peo-ple, but Grigg found inspi-ration from both his familyand his squadmates. “I grewup in a military family andit’s always been instilled inme, that military mentality,”he said. “Even in those timeswhen you’re going throughsomething tough, you know

importance of the workthat’s done here at SouthPotomac to your Navyand the great job that theSouth Potomac team hasdone under Pete’s lead-ership since 2011,” said

Rich. “As the nation tran-sitions out of a decadeplus of war, I believe weare entering a new era ofmaritime pre-eminence.”

The weapons and train-ing developed at NSFs

Dahlgren and Indian Headwill play a critical role insupporting Sailors andMarines around the globeas they “respond wherev-er, whenever and howeveris necessary,” said Rich.“The mission partners on-board NSA South Potomacsupport the credible com-bat power piece of thatand they do it very well.And they do for today’sNavy and tomorrow’s.”

A Joint Land Use Study (JLUS)encouraging cooperative planningbetween communities and nearbymilitary installations is underway inCharles County. Through the JLUS,the community and Naval Sup-port Facility (NSF) Indian¬ Headare working to identify potentialissues and strategies to help main-tain compatibility between localdevelopment and the Navy. TheJLUS project team is investigatinghow changes in land use around theinstallation could affect the Navy’smission, as well as how current andfuture operations may impact thesurrounding community.

To aid the project team in theirefforts, Navy staff provided a tour ofNSF Indian Head and Stump NeckAnnex on Wednesday, June 25. Ac-companied by Capt. Pete Nette, com-manding officer of Naval SupportActivity South Potomac, and otherNavy staff, the JLUS team memberswere not only given a lesson in ex-plosive manufacturing, research,and development, but also history.

As the visitors toured the facilityand learned about the various oper-ations, ranges, and facilities on site,they received glimpses into the rich

history of the installation, includinghistoric homes and buildings, suchas the Navy Yard guard shack nearthe front gate and a Native Americanarcheological site along the banks ofMattawoman Creek.

“The tour provided a great dealof insight about what goes on be-hind the fence and the importanceof the mission,” says JLUS ProjectManager Amy Blessinger, CharlesCounty Department of Planning &Growth Management. “I appreciatethe staff for taking the time to giveus such an in-depth tour of the facil-ity, and I especially enjoyed learningthat the base’s work has been a keypart of so many critical defense andnational security initiatives over thedecades. NSF Indian Head is so richin history.”

The Town of Indian Head was oneof the first planned communities inMaryland and much of the work-force once lived and worked on thefacility. Since its commissioning in1890, the installation and surround-ing community have transformedand continue to change and grow.

“JLUS helps the Navy accomplishour evolving missions and be a goodneighbor to the community we’re a

part of,” said Nette. “We’re happy tohelp move the JLUS process forwardby working with the community; wewant to achieve a compatible planthat can serve as a guide for the fu-ture.”

The public’s help is needed toidentify impacts and find solutions.A series of public forums will pres-ent information on the JLUS andgive area residents an opportunityto provide input. The first forum isplanned for summer 2014. Detailswill be available at www.indianhe-adjlus.com.

“The process encourages openand continuous dialogue, and com-munity input is crucial to the suc-cess of the JLUS,” said Blessinger.

To learn more about the IndianHead Joint Land Use Study, visitwww.indianheadjlus.com or contactProject Manager Amy Blessinger,Department of Planning & GrowthManagement, at 301-645-0650 orBlessingA@charlescountymd.gov.

The Indian Head JLUS is spon-sored by Charles County in collabo-ration with the Town of Indian Headand NSF Indian Head and funded bya Department of Defense Office ofEconomic Adjustment (OEA) grant.

Tour gives joint land use study team a lesson in history

that you’ve trained physically, you’ve trainedmentally toget through it. And you forge a very strong bond with thepeople in your squad, just in those six days.”

While the seminar was overwhelmingly fun for Grigg,he also recognized it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunityto continue along a path he began even before he joinedthe Sea Cadets and JROTC. “It was very humbling to beaccepted in the first place,” he explained. “Entry is verycompetitive. My dad is an academy graduate and that iswhat givesme somuchmotivation to go.My dad has beena big inspiration for me wanting to do this and my familyhas been very supportive of everything I want to do. It’svery rare when you achieve something all on your own.”

While Grigg is working diligently to make his dreamof attending the Naval Academy become reality, he isn’tentirely sure about how he’d like to serve. “If you get intothe Naval Academy, you have an opportunity to expe-rience everything,” he said. “My favorite part was thetradition and values you feel walking through the halls,the same halls Nimitz, King and Halsey walked through.We were given the right to sing ‘Navy Blue and Gold,’the alma mater. It’s hard to explain how significant thatfeels.”

Thecouncil brings togethermilitary and civilian lead-ers from the town of In-dian Head and CharlesCounty, Md., and thetown of Colonial Beachand King George County,Va. “The nature of themissions at Dahlgren andIndian Head require ex-tensive, sometimes cre-ative relationships andcommunications withsurrounding communi-ties,” said Rich. “CaptainNette and his staff set thestandard for building re-lationships. I think youneed to do nothing morethan look around the au-dience to see how mucheffort he puts into thecommunities. “
