Inside

While in the midst of the Fourth of July sea-son, it's easy to imagine what the quintessen-tial activities associated with it would be:grilling and other "flammable" outdoor fun.

But, as an even more critical part of the 101Critical Days of Summer, the midsummerdays present their own challenges to safetywith barbecues and some risky outdoor activ-ities. Many preventable mishaps impact serv-ice members' operational readiness duringthis time.

Starting with grilling, according to the NavalSafety Center (NSC), while thankfully therehave been no fatalities resulting from grillingaccidents from fiscal year 2007-2011, there havebeen 49 mishaps involving Sailors and Marines.The victims of these mishaps spent nearly 80days in the hospital, losing 384 work days, andspending 470 days on light duty.

The emphasis on these statistics, accordingto NSC, is that many of them could be easilyprevented. From a presentation on grillingsafety by NSC, here are two case reports onhow accidents occurred: one incident in-

volved someone who used gasoline to help ig-nite the grill. It exploded and burned him fromhis waist to his neck and arms. In another in-cident, this time involving a gas grill, the elec-tric spark igniter didn’t work. Gas was allowedto flow for approximately 30 seconds and themishap victim used a cigarette lighter to startthe grill resulting in an explosion.

It can be obviously noted that a lot of theactivities involving grilling and fire involvesimple common sense in order to preventmishaps. Gas and charcoal grills should neverbe used indoors: even if a fire does not spread,a potentially deadly buildup of carbonmonoxide and other gases can occur.

To prevent fire spreading, according to theNSC, keep the grill at least 10 feet away fromsiding, decks and railings. Keep it out from un-der eaves and overhanging branches. As not-ed earlier, gasoline should never be used tohelp start a charcoal grill; use only an instruct-ed amount of lighter fluid and never applylighter fluid to hot or already ignited coals as itcan cause a dangerous flare up.

One major aspect of fire safety involves themost vulnerable amongst a group: children.

Staying safe amongst the flames

The Human Resources OfficeWashington(HRO-W), located at the Washington NavyYard, received the conflict management andmediation recognition award at Marine CorpsAir Station Miramar June 26.

The Labor and Employee Relations (LER)department and the Equal Employment Op-portunity (EEO) department worked in con-junction to help managers and employees fo-cus on the mission of their commands, ratherthan spending time and resources in admin-istrative adjudication of workplace conflicts.

“The award itself is extremely rewarding,”said Kelly Majiros, one of HRO-W's Alterna-tive Dispute Resolution (ADR) program coor-dinators. “I think it can be easy to overlookhow intensive and time consuming the work

can be, and our staff worked very hard.”Majiros emphasized that the HRO-W lead-

ership has worked tirelessly to ensure thattheir staff is properly equipped to utilize ADRmodels in conflict resolution.

"They really promote and support the staffto make sure that they are trained, so they canthen educate our customers on the benefitsand values of ADR," said Majiros.

Each year the Department of Navy’s Alter-native Dispute Resolution (ADR) Programevaluates the effectiveness of Human Re-source Offices and recognizes those whoachieve or exceed the Conflict Managementand Mediation Model (CM 3) standards.

There are four areas in which the DoNtests to ensure that the program's standardsare compliant: a staff properly trained in ADR,ensuring that staff is trained to provide train-ing to customers, that staffs utilize ADR tech-

niques consistent with Navy guidelines, andthat they utilize relevant data systems.

Consistent with DON policy, HRO-W of-fers mediation and facilitation to managersand employees so that workplace disputesmay be resolved quickly. ADR is designed toimprove relationships and provide closure byutilizing realistic options. HRO-W has ensuredan ADR staff is available to resolve disputes,provide conflict management training, andensure ADR mediators are certified and thatthey maintain their mediator competency.

CM3 was designed to measure the HumanResources Offices efforts to achieve an effec-tive ADR program. This year Human Re-sources Office-Washington received formalrecognition for its efforts in promoting, estab-lishing and utilizing ADR techniques.

The LER department’s primary focus is re-solvedisputesatthelowestlevelpossibleandto

use resources like mediation to avoid arbitra-tion, or a court hearing. According to Majiros,ADR techniques are used whenever possible astheyavoidmorecostlyortimeconsumingwaysof dispute resolution, such as litigation.

According to Majiros, many participantsin HRO-W's promoted ADR are satisfied withthe results. She highlighted that instead of anadversarial process, they promote the medi-ation process which restores working rela-tionships instead of finalizing the break-up ofthose relationships.

Kim McManus of HRO-W attended theWorkplace ADR Conference onboard MCASMiramar to accept the organization’s award.This is HRO-W’s fifth consecutive CM3 Award.

Naval District Washington joins the De-partment of the Navy Alternative Dispute Res-olution Program in congratulating HRO-W forthis achievement and honor.

What tips do you have for staying safe while grilling orparticipating in other outdoor activities this summer?

Around The Yard

"Store lighter fluid away from thegrill. Always be careful while usingflammable liquids."

Samuel Malcolm,Office of Financial Operations

"Don't leave towels, hot mitts, otherflammable materials, or kids, forthat matter, around the grill. Terribleresults can occur."

Shannon Wallace,NMCI Base Ops

"In light of recent occurrences, weshould be paying special attentionto the weather. Always wear sun-screen, it is so important."

Lt. Cmdr. Frank Walsh,SECNAV Council of Review Boards

Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Fuel) 1st Class (AW/SW) DavidLawrence, Air Department'sV4 Division maintenance leadingpetty officer, first responded to a 60-year-old man's suicide at-tempt approximately 4 a.m. after pulling over to assist withwhat he thought would be a flat tire.

Lawrence, on his way to the gym before work, saw the carin front of him slow and pull to the side of the bridge near thebridge's apex.

"I saw he was an older guy and he didn't have his hazard[lights] on, so I didn't want him to get hit - and he was in ablack Fiat and it was dark out," Lawrence said. "Most peoplegoing over the bridge at that time won't be paying attention;they're just trying to wake up."

However, Lawrence's decision to stop was rooted in hisdeeply held belief that one's actions have direct consequences,either positive or negative.

"I try to help anybody I can. What comes around goesaround - I sincerely believe that," Lawrence said. "Somebodyis returning the favors. My health is good. My family's healthis all good. [So I take] any opportunity I get to help somebody."

As Lawrence asked the driver if he needed assistance, hewatched as the man climbed over the concrete barrier andonto the bridge's ledge.

"I stopped right where I was at," Lawrence said. "I put my

hands up where he could see them; I didn't want to make anyhasty moves."

Lawrence immediately called upon the training he re-ceived while deployed in the Applied Suicide InterventionSkills Training (ASIST) program. Lawrence said the informa-tion and intervention skills he learned from the two-day work-shop helped him that morning.

"Just ACT: ask, care, treat," Lawrence said. "I didn't get tothe 'treat' part; the FBI negotiators and cops got that. But Iasked the guy."

Lawrence's actions also proved how important how the"care" aspect is as well.When asked by the police if he wantedto leave the scene, Lawrence declined.

"I told the cops that I was the first one talking to him,"Lawrence said. "I don't know if this guy got abandoned bysomeone and so I didn't want him to see me get in my car andleave. So I stayed there the whole time."

For 15 to 20 minutes, Lawrence talked to the man, tryingto prevent him from jumping while also flagging passing driv-ers to call for assistance. Aware of the magnitude of his choiceof words, Lawrence said he talked about his experiences in theU.S. Navy.

"My thought was, 'Please don't jump. How am I going tokeep this guy from jumping? What can I possibly say that will

The First Lady of the United States,Michelle Obama, joined the governor of Illi-nois at a bill signing in the Illinois NationalGuard Armory June 26, to support militaryfamilies as they seek employment and holdon to professional certifications.

The signing was in front of more than 250uniformed military members and familymembers.

The bill is called the Illinois Military FamilyLicensing Act and its purpose is to help serv-ice members and their spouses obtain theprofessional licenses they need to continueworking after the family relocates to Illinoisfor military service.

"Our military families make great sacri-fices every day, and they shouldn't have to puttheir career on hold while their loved ones areserving their country overseas," said Gov. PatQuinn. "This new law will strengthen Illinoisand allow these dedicated professionals towaste no time in finding work and making adifference as they settle into their new home."

The signing of Illinois Senate Bill 275makes Illinois the 23rd state to adopt pro-mil-itary spouse license portability legislation. Aspart of her Joining Forces initiative to honor,recognize and support military families,Michelle Obama has been an advocate for the100,000 military spouses who serve in profes-sions that require state licenses or certifica-tion, and have to bear high financial burdensto transfer their credentials from state to stateas they serve this country.

In February, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden,wife of Vice President Joe Biden asked Quinnand the rest of the country's governors andspouses to improve job portability for militaryspousesintheirstates. Now,23stateshavesim-ilar legislation, including Illinois, and an addi-

tional seven states have pending legislation."Because of Governor Quinn's efforts,

more military spouses will be able to advancein their careers," said Obama. "More busi-nesses, hospitals and schools will get the tal-ented, experienced workers they rely on. Andmore families will have the income they needand the financial security they deserve. Andabove all, military families will know thatAmerica has their back, we are working hardevery day to serve them as well as they haveserved this country."

Illinois is the home to three major militarybases - Naval Station Great Lakes, Scott AirForce Base and Rock Island Arsenal. NavalStation Great Lakes is known as "The Quarter-deck of Navy" and site of the only "bootcamp" in the Navy, Recruit Training Com-mand (RTC) that transforms civilians intoSailors. Scott Air Force Base, located nearBelleville, Ill., and 20 miles east of St. Louis, isthe headquarters for the U.S. TransportationCommand. The Rock Island Arsenal, in RockIsland, Ill., or the Quad-Cities, is a majorweapons manufacturing facility in the U.S.

More than 100 Sailors from Naval StationGreat Lakes attended the bill signing, includingRear Adm. David F. Steindl, commander, NavalServiceTraining Command (NSTC), who over-sees the operations and training held at RTC.

"It is a great day for our spouses and fam-ilies, who are the backbone of the Military.They do so much for us and the careers of ourSailors; it is great to see them receive this sup-port and recognition of their service. This willhave a positive impact on families, who areconstantly making sacrifices for our country,"said Steindl. "Additionally Mrs. Obama's Join-ing Forces campaign is having a real impacton Navy families. She is really dedicated to ourSailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen."

TheNavyhadthebiggestcontingentofmil-itary members and their families in the crowd,including more than 50 Recruit Division Com-manders (RDCs) and staff members from RTC.

The other Navy representatives came from theNavy Region Midwest, the Naval Station andNavy Recruiting District Chicago.

"The Navy was well-represented here.They were locked onto every word the firstlady and Governor Quinn had to say becausethey know how important this bill is to ourfamilies," said Steindl.

State agencies that issue occupational li-censes, including the Illinois Department ofFinancial and Professional Regulation and theState Board of Education (IDFPR), will be ableto grant temporary licenses to military mem-bers and spouses who hold credentials in oth-er states in more than 50 professions, such asteachers, doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers,

paramedics, social workers, dieticians andtherapists.

In addition to temporary, six-month li-censes, the Act allows IDFPR to consider allrelevant experience and training a servicemember has gained through military servicetowards meeting certain permanent state li-censing requirements. These provisions willhelp military members and their spousesmore easily navigate the patchwork of non-uniform regulations across all 50 states. Thelaw takes effect Jan. 1.

"This bill will be a big benefit because it isvery difficult to move from state to state and

Quotas from the Fiscal Year (FY) 13 ActiveDuty E7 Board show Navy's force manage-ment initiatives are having some positive re-sults, resulting in advancement opportunityincreasing 5.73 points from 18.23 percent inFY12 to 23.96 percent for the FY13 board.

With approximately 4,400 quotas for thisboard, the Navy is ensuring the fleet has theright mix of Sailors with appropriate skills andexperience to meet the Navy's mission.

The expected improvement in advance-ment opportunity is the result of balancing theforce across ratings, and it is expected that op-portunity will move slightly downward incoming years and level off.

The selection board convened June 18 inMillington, Tenn. and will review the recordsof approximately 18,900 E-6s.

Notable opportunity this cycle is in the Lo-gistics Specialist (Submarine) (LS grp 1) with100 percent opportunity and 22 quotas, risingfrom 73.8 percent opportunity and 31 quotasfrom FY12 rates. Also showing strong oppor-tunity is Yeoman (Submarine) (YN Grp 1) at55.77 percent and 29 quotas from 33.93 with19 quotas in FY12.

Communities seeing a decrease from FY12include the Firecontrolman Technician (FT),down from 38.46 percent with 35 quotas to12.50 percent with 10 quotas for FY13.

The Center for Security Forces participat-ed in making the wish of young terminally illboy come true Jun 22.

Devin Hensley, a 9-year-old Make-A-WishFoundation participant, has been touringNavy commands in the San Diego region allweek with members of his family.

For three decades, Make-A-Wish Founda-tion has taken the wish of children who facelife-threatening conditions, like that of Devin,and turned them into a dream come true.

Experiencing the thrill of helicopters,ships, and submarines young Devin seemedto find each day more exhilarating than thelast. "It has been overwhelming with excite-ment each day and he says, 'it was the best dayever,'" said Devin's mother Leslie Hensley.

Gunner's Mate 1st Class (SW) Ross Mc-known and Gunner's Mate 2nd Class (SW)Joel Moorman helped Devin and his sisterAddison qualify on the Small ArmsWeaponsSimulator, which uses laser-emittingweapons. Each weapon has the same designand performance characteristics as the live-fire counterpart and all of which brings thestudent as close to a real-life situation as pos-sible. Devin and Addison each had an oppor-tunity to shoot a M9 service pistol, the M-240

and .50 caliber machine gun."Being able to help grant a wish is an

amazing feeling," said McKnown. "I will takethis memory with me for the rest of my life."

"The Make-A-Wish program is fantasticand to couple it with the Navy was even bet-ter," said Curt Patera who serves as the coursemanager for the Small Arms MarksmanshipCourse at the training site.

Devin was presented with a weaponsqualification certificate after having demon-strated exceptional weapons proficiency. Healso received an official small arms instructorT-shirt and both he and Addison were givenCENSECFOR command coins as a keepsakeof their visit.

The honor, courage, and commitment ofDevin Hensley not only brings great creditupon himself and that of his family, but it isalso in keeping with the highest traditions ofthe U.S. Navy.

Detachment San Diego is one of 14 train-ing sites within the Center for Security Forces(CENSECFOR) domain.The Center for Secu-rity Forces provides specialized training tomore than 22,000 students each year in theU.S. and around the world.

In an effort to keep you informed of military discipline and administrative matters thathave occurred in Naval DistrictWashington, theWaterline will periodically publish Court-Martial and Administrative Separation results.

Court MartialU.S. v. HN, USN, In a Special Court-Martial, HN pled guilty to articles 92 (violating a

lawful order by wrongfully possessing drug paraphernalia), and 112a (wrongfully pos-sessing the drugs Fentanyl , Morphine, and Ketamine). The Military Judge sentencedthe HN to reduction in rate to E-1, confinement for 90 days, reprimand, and a bad con-duct discharge.

Legal Corner

can cause a dangerous flare up.One major aspect of fire safety involves

the most vulnerable amongst a group: chil-dren. Always maintain an at least three-footsafety radius around grills, and do not letchildren or pets enter that area. To furtheravoid possible accidents involving children,set up grills outside of high foot-traffic areas.

Another popular activity that poses a riskfor everyone involved is the use of fireworks.If one chooses to use fireworks this summer,first make sure they are even legal in the areain which you live. With regards to Naval Dis-trict Washington (NDW), Maryland, D.C.and Virginia all have very strict laws regard-ing the purchase or use of fireworks: all threejurisdictions prohibit the sale or use of aerialfireworks or firecrackers (those that leave theground such as bottle rockets or mortars, orthose which actively explode).

According to the Consumer ProductSafety Commission, that does not mean,

however, that those that are legal are notwithout risks of their own: sparklers, for in-stance, burn at temperatures approaching2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt gold.Sparklers and similar spark-emitting deviceslike fountains can quickly ignite combustiblematerial and cause serious burns.

No matter the type, if one chooses to usefireworks this season, keep these things inmind: Never place any part of your body di-rectly over a fireworks device when lightingthe fuse, back up to a safe distance immedi-ately after lighting fireworks, never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignit-ed fully, and never point or throw fireworksat another person.

If you keep these tips in mind whileyou're stoking the flames this Fourth of Julyseason, it is possible to keep the season bothsafe and fun.

Review byCommander Aboul-Enein

by Alex Abella, Publishedby Harcourt, New York. 343pages, 2008.

Despite the unfortunate ti-tle and the lead into the bookthat paints RAND as a secre-tive think-tank that is a drivingforce of the United States Gov-ernment, the reality is thatRAND provides an invaluableservice by furnishing the Unit-ed States Government andour military with independ-ent research, reports andquestions that causes deci-sion-makers to think aboutmatters of great complexity.RAND opened its doors to theauthor, who is a novelist andcontributing writer for the LosAngeles Times and the bookdoes settle into a more realis-tic history.

RAND the organization,and some of its ideas have be-come policy, other ideas stim-ulated thought, and manyideas were simply shelved. Itis a life of the mind, and thebook will appeal to analysts,who wish to immerse them-selves in a litany of majornames in critical thinking andanalysis. Individuals likeRoberta and Albert Wohlstet-

ter, Herman Kahn, Alain En-thoven, Andrew Marshall,Paul Nitze, and much more.

RAND refined the conceptof operational analysis, a sys-tem of evaluating policy deci-sions scientifically. Thisevolved into systems analysis,and would help in analyzingthe ways and means in whichnuclear weapons would bedeployed and its conse-quences. An important les-son to learn from an analyticperspective is the overre-liance of quantitative and sci-entific analysis when at-tempting to assess the hu-man psyche. This singularlesson is important as weconfront the complexities of

fighting the “long war,” onterrorism, with fragments oftheology, psychology, senseversus knowledge of history,schisms, spinning a fantasynarrative molded into everchanging militant ideologies.

It would be the UnitedStates Air Force that wouldprovide RAND, meaning sim-ply Research and Develop-ment, its first major project,and from there RAND ProjectAir Force would be a main-stay of the organization.From thinking the unthink-able with nuclear weapons tothe current reports on al-Qai-da 2.0, its products make forimportant reading for ana-lysts within the Defense De-partment. One RAND analystNathan Leites, wrote a book,The Operational Code of thePolitburo, steeping himself inMarx, Lenin and the ideolo-gies of the Soviets, he andPaul Nitze’s document NSC-68 would form vital docu-ments in what would be con-tainment of the Soviet expan-sion.

Albert Wohlstetter dis-cussed many concepts, butamong the most significant isquantifying a second-strikenuclear option as an added

The future of Afghanistan’s medical doc-tors is on a firm foundation due to the dedi-cated work of Lt. Cmdr. Shauna O’Sullivanand Lt. Cmdr Casey Flanagan.

Stationed atWalter Reed National MilitaryHospital in Bethesda, MD, they both an-swered the call to rebuild the graduate med-ical education system at the Kabul NationalMilitary Hospital, a system which had falleninto ruins during the last decade.

As part of the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A) Armed Forces Acade-my of Medical Sciences (AFAMS) coalitionadvisory team, they worked closely with theirAfghan counterparts, building a graduate

medical education system from the groundup. It has been a challenging and rewardingexperience for both.

“The way to improve medical care andpromote a sustainable medical system is toassure that the medical leaders of tomorrowhave the skills and knowledge they need, nowand into the future,” said O’Sullivan.

During their 9 month deployment, theyworked with Afghan physicians to build seventraining programs in diverse fields of medi-cine from surgery to their own specialty of in-ternal medicine. They logged over 200 mis-sions outside the wire, putting them at per-sonal risk. They both agree that it was wellworth it.

Upcoming ShipShape Weight Program

Disputes in the workplace can be caused by a multitude offactors that intersect to cause tension and anxiety. Coworkersand colleagues have distinct personalities and professionalstyles that they bring to the workplace. The uniqueness of ourpersonalities and the ways that we approach our daily tasks canpresent professional challenges. Conflicts arise when individ-uals hold fast to their style or position without making an effortto understand the effects that they may have on coworkers orthe workplace environment.

Workplace disagreements between coworkers or manage-ment should be addressed in a timely manner. If a dispute is leftunresolved, misunderstandings can escalate and lead to ten-sion, which can cause a distraction in the work being per-formed. Disputes can leave an individual feeling aggrieved,thereby reducing workplace productivity. An individual em-ployee may begin to feel resentment toward a professional dis-agreement and may take the differences personally.

Workplace disputes can affect the morale of the whole officeand require immediate consideration. They become distrac-tions, which can affect other employees who notice the palpa-ble tension among their peers. This may impact the overallmorale and productivity of the workplace.To achieve harmonyand understanding within the workplace, it is necessary to con-sider the best way to mutually resolve conflict.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an option availableto employees to resolve workplace differences and to under-stand the interests, beliefs and ideas of another party. The De-partment of Navy (DON) defines ADR as follows: “Any proce-dure which is used in lieu of a formal process or litigation to re-solve conflicts and issues in controversy, including but not lim-ited to, partnering, conciliation, facilitation, mediation, om-budsmanship, fact finding, mini-trials, neutral evaluation andarbitration or any combination thereof.” The DON encouragesthe use of mediation for all of its activities and commands toresolve conflicts within working relationships.

Mediation is a voluntary process, in which participantswork together to reach an agreeable solution through open dis-cussion. In mediation, there is a third party that acts as a neutralagent and guides the discussion. This individual has no deci-sion-making authority but helps the parties to generate resolu-tion options. If resolution is reached, then parties may haveachieved a potential win/win situation.

Mediation is used to resolve all types of conflict, includingdiscrimination complaints, grievances and general workplacedisputes. Key benefits of mediation are the reduced processingtime, cost savings, the ability to resolve disputes by avoidinglengthy legal processes, and allowing participants to shape theirresolution. Navy statistics indicate that the majority of individ-uals who participated in mediation in 2011 said,“The outcomewas the best for my situation” and “mediation will improveworking relationships in my workplace.”

If you find yourself in the middle of a workplace dispute,please consider the mediation process as a means to quicklyand efficiently resolve the dispute. For more information, pleasevisit the Navy ADR website at www.adr.navy.mil.

about everything I did and tried to let him see that there'spositive stuff out there."

California Highway Patrol and San Diego Police Officersarrived approximately 20 minutes after Lawrence's initialcommunication with the man and assumed suicide preven-tion efforts. FBI agents, California Highway Patrol and SanDiego Police Officers successfully talked the man off theledge and took him into custody shortly before 7 a.m.

Before his morning was over, an FBI agent informedLawrence the man wished to see him.

"He was just standing there with a jacket on, looked at meand said, 'Thanks,'" Lawrence said. "I said, 'Hey, man, youmade the right choice. I'm glad to see you're on this side ofthe ledge. Have a good day and be safe.'"

Lawrence, a quiet and humble U.S. Navy Sailor, said hefeels little difference since Tuesday morning, shrugging offany accolades given him.

"I'd do it again today, if I had to," Lawrence said. "Peopleare saying I'm a hero and thanking me, but I'd like to think ifI didn't do it, somebody would have stopped and did it."

SUICIDEContinued from 2

nuclear option as an added deterrence to an exchange withthe Soviets. He also advocated the development of non-nu-clear armaments and modern technology, which would givethe United States options short of nuclear war.

In the realm of terrorism, the book describes the classifi-cation of terrorism as the weapons of the weak, with the de-scription of “Terrorism as Theater.” It mirrors much of theconventional wisdom that conviction and ideology is a centerof gravity in the war on terrorism. Another importantWohlstetter is Roberta, whose book, “Pearl Harbor: Warningand Decision,” published in 1962 is required reading for theserious analyst. It describes the myriad of indicators andwarnings hidden beneath a massive cacophony of noise cou-pled with bureaucratic friction that led to the surprise of PearlHarbor.

Soldiers of Reason, in my view, opens poorly but recoversnicely in its descriptions of analytic theory that has shapedAmerican national strategic thought.

Editor’s Note: CDR Aboul-Enein is author of “Militant Is-lamist Ideology:Understanding the Global Threat,”publishedby Naval Institute Press. He teaches part time at the IndustrialCollege of the Armed Forces and maintains a regular book col-umn in the NDWWaterline.

By developing training that is modeled after North Americanmedical residencies, a sustainable and quality educationalsystem which is Afghan appropriate is a lasting legacy of theirtime in Afghanistan.
