With the increase in homegrown terror-ism, it is imperative that first responders areprepared. Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is oneof the military's vehicles for ensuring that itsfirst responders are primed and ready for any-thing.

"This is a yearly military exercise designedto test the effectiveness of our Anti-TerroristForce Protection (ATFP) readiness and train-ing programs," said Julie Keegan, exerciseplanner for Naval DistrictWashington (NDW).

During the week of March 19-24 emer-gency responders on military installationsaround the world will engage in Solid Cur-tain/Citadel Shield 2012, the largest ATFP ex-ercise on all naval bases and installations con-ducted in the Continental United States. A se-ries of mock drills are staged to resemble real-life emergencies during Solid Curtain/CitadelShield throughout the region.

"This will test our emergency responderson how knowledgeable they are on ATFP pro-cedures and how they can think on their feet,"said Keegan.

According to Keegan, when Solid Cur-tain/Citadel Shield is in full swing, Sailors,civilian employees, and contractors will no-tice activity that may look like a real-life emer-gency and those accessing the installation can

expect possible delays due to increased secu-rity checks posture at installation accesspoints. Along with the normal ID checks, per-sonnel should also expect additional delaysfrom bag checks and possible vehicle can-vassing.

The public may also see an increase in se-curity service personnel and traffic around in-stallations. While residents should remainvigilant for suspicious activity, they should notinterpret the additional activity as more thana routine military exercise.

"Normally, installations operate underForce Protection Condition (FPCON) Alpha.This status applies when a general threat ofterrorist activity exists," said Keegan."Through the course of the Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2012, security procedures willprogress through PFCON Charlie."

FPCON Charlie is set when an incident oc-curs or when the probability of an attack mayoccur against personnel of the facilities.

It is also important that personnel pay at-tention and heed messages on the Wide AreaAlert Network (WAAN) during Solid Cur-tain/Citadel Shield. WAAN is a mass notifica-tion system that alerts the base population ofincreased force protection levels and poten-tial danger. The AtHoc software applicationon Navy Marine Corp Intranet (NMCI) com-puters (the small purple globe in your system

tray) notifies NMCI users of key operationalevents or emergencies. The alerts are sent di-

When I think about February, onething that comes to mind is Groundhog’sDay. Growing up we learn that of coursethis day is the day we find out how longuntil spring comes forth. When I hear“Groundhog Day” mentioned, my mem-ories turn to the movie bearing that namethat starred Bill Murray. I’m sure many ofyou are familiar with it, but if not, the ba-sic premise centers on a man waking upday after day only to find he is reliving thesame day over and over again. This basicpremise is one that many of us have expe-rienced to some degree in our lives whenwe get stuck in a rut, whether at home or

at work. How many of us have ever saidthe words, “This feels like groundhog’sday to me?”

I remember thinking this the first timeI went though basic training as it seemedevery day was the same. At other pointsin my life, I have felt this way again, oftenwishing for something new to comealong. I wonder now though, what Imight have missed due to my focus beingon the routine, really on the past, and noton the future and looking for the differ-ences each day bring. A passage of scrip-ture that I try and remember at times likethis is Isaiah 43:18-19:

“Forget the former things;do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing!Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

While this whole chapter speaks onGod’s relationship with Israel, for me thispassage also helps me to look for the newthings each day. For example, when I am

feeling down and stuck in a rut, I oftenmiss the small things like the simple kind-ness shown by a coworker or the beautifulsunset as I am driving home. If I am onlylooking in the past, I know I will miss somany good things that are right in front ofme. This year, I encourage each of you tostrive daily to look for the new, goodthings that happen all around. When thetime comes and you are having your own“Groundhog Day”, take a moment to stepback and reassess what is going onaround you. Grab hold of the good things,no matter how small they seem, and usethem to change your outlook on the fu-ture.

Grace and peace, Chaplain Bush

Not just another Groundhog’s DayChaplain’s Corner

This year, I encourage eachof you to strive daily to lookfor the new, good things thathappen all around.

As one of the Navy's largest ATFP exercises,how do you think Solid Curtain Citadel Shield will benefit the region?

USS Omaha (1872-1915) Marine Guard paraded on deck, while the ship wasdocked at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, Maine, during the 1880s justprior to its voyage to Japan. Note the bugler and drummer at left, with a 9-inch Dahlgren gun behind them.

Doris Miller, known as "Dorie" toshipmates and friends, enlisted in theU.S Navy as Mess Attendant 3rd Class onSeptember 16, 1939, to travel and earnmoney for his family. He later was com-mended by the Secretary of the Navy,was advanced to Mess Attendant 2ndClass and 1st Class, and subsequentlywas promoted to Cook 3rd Class.

Following training at the Naval Train-ing Station Norfolk, Miller was assignedto the ammunition ship USS Pyro (AE-1)where he served as a Mess Attendant,and on January 2, 1940 was transferredto USS West Virginia (BB-48), where hebecame the ship's heavyweight boxingchampion. In July of that year he hadtemporary duty aboard USS Nevada(BB-36) at Secondary Battery GunnerySchool. He returned to West Virginia onAug. 3, and was serving in that battleshipwhen the Japanese attacked Pearl Har-bor on December 7, 1941. Miller hadarisen at 6 a.m., and was collecting laun-dry when the alarm for general quarterssounded. He headed for his battle sta-tion, the anti-aircraft battery magazineamid ship, only to discover that torpedodamage had wrecked it, so he went ondeck. Because of his physical prowess,he was assigned to carry wounded fellowSailors to places of greater safety. Thenan officer ordered him to the bridge toaid the mortally wounded Captain of the

ship. He subsequently manned a 50 cal-iber Browning anti-aircraft machine gununtil he ran out of ammunition and wasordered to abandon ship.

Miller described firing the machinegun during the battle, a weapon whichhe had not been trained to operate: "Itwasn't hard. I just pulled the trigger andshe worked fine. I had watched the oth-ers with these guns. I guess I fired her for

about fifteen minutes. I think I got oneof those Jap planes. They were divingpretty close to us."

Miller was commended by the Secre-tary of the Navy Frank Knox on April 1,1942, and on May 27, 1942 he receivedthe Navy Cross, which Fleet Admiral(then Admiral) Chester W. Nimitz, theCommander in Chief, Pacific Fleet per-

sonally presented to Miller on board air-craft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) forhis extraordinary courage in battle.Speaking of Miller, Nimitz remarked:

This marks the first time in this con-flict that such high tribute has been madein the Pacific Fleet to a member of hisrace and I'm sure that the future will seeothers similarly honored for brave acts.

The Rise of the Federal Colossus:The Growth of Federal Power fromLincoln to F.D.R.by Peter Zavodnyik.Published by Praeger, Denver, CO.Part of the Praeger Series on Ameri-can Political Culture. 2011.

One of the constant debates inAmerican political culture is the sizeof the Federal government; thisquestion is also tied up into the bal-ance between the authority of theFederal government and the States.Chicago attorney Peter Zavodnyikgoes beyond the slogans and soundbites to help us understand thegradual expansion of the federalgovernment in a refreshing andthoroughly researched book usingarticles of the period, court opin-ions, and congressional records.

This is a scholarly book that ar-

gues that Federal expansion just didnot materialize with Franklin Roo-sevelt’s New Deal, but began duringthe American CivilWar.This expan-sion also had periods of slight con-traction in which federal authorityreceded with the collapse of recon-struction in the late 1870s. The au-thor argues that the post-Civil Warera was the catalyst for Federalgrowth, as debates over Civil Warpensions, taxation, agriculture poli-cies, civil service reform and rail-road regulations to name a myriadof issues would be brought beforethe states and federal governmentfor debate.

In the chapter, “Federalism andWar, 1861-1865,” readers will dis-cover the hidden aspects of the CivilWar, which is the establishment of anational bank system by Congressto aid in the sale of bonds. One as-pect of why the Union won the CivilWar, was the leveraging of debt to fi-nance the war, while the Confeder-ates chose to finance the warthrough the raising of actual funds.The National Bank Act of 1863

would be the start of getting statebanks to join the national bank, andthereby unifying our currency.These are issues very relevant today,as Europe is grappling with thecomplexity of whether to rescue orabandon the Euro.

Other parts of the book explorethe passage and then erosion of theCivil Rights Act of 1875, and the as-sertion of the “equal protection”clause in the Constitution. One getsa sense reading the book that whileour history maybe filled with in-stances of rank injustice, there havebeen mechanisms to debate andeventually change this injustice.Thebook also discusses the impact offederal expansion in times of eco-nomic or military crisis. Another as-pect to the volume was that no con-stitutional amendment was passedexpanding the federal government’sspending and regulatory powersduring the seventy years betweenthe Civil War and the Great Depres-sion, yet federal power grew dra-matically in increments, such as theregulation of food safety, workplacesafety, and much more.

The book ends with the HerbertHoover Administration (1929-1933)and the dramatic events of the sec-ond act of the worldwide economicshock, which was the failure ofbanks and states passing emer-

gency legislation to close banks toprevent more failures. State treasur-ies were empty, and fear spreadamong the public. This had set thestage for the greatest expansion offederal authority in the form of theNew Deal. However, this was notdictatorial, but based on precedent.For instance the regulation of capi-tal markets took the form not onlyin past legislation regulating the na-tional banks, yet also the issuance ofrailroad securities in the building ofthe trans-continental railroad. Za-vodnyik has written a fine accountof America’s political history fromPresident’s Lincoln to Hoover.

What is a PositiveEducation Requirement?

Q: I am a veteran interested in becoming a contractspecialist. My uncle is one and he says there are alwaysjobs. I have applied for several positions and was told thatI don’t qualify due to a positive education requirement.My wife tells me that jobs in the government don’t usuallyhave education requirements (experience can be used in-stead) so I am confused. Am I just getting the run around?

A: Short answer: no, you aren’t getting the run around. While it is indeed truethat most positions in federal service don’t require you to have a degree or spe-cialized training, there are a few outliers that actually do.

Contract Specialist (the 1102 series for those in the know), happens to be justsuch a job. In order to qualify for any advertised vacancy, you have to have a 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree from an accredited college oruniversity with a major in any field OR at least 24 semester hours in an accreditedcollege or university in any combination of the following fields: accounting, busi-ness, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management,marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management. (I cut andpasted that right from the regulations, so forgive me for the awkward language.)

The audit series (0511) is another which has a positive educational require-ment, this time for a degree in accounting or a related field such as business ad-ministration, finance, or public administration that included or was supplement-ed by 24 semester hours in accounting or 18 accounting credits with 6 hours inbusiness law. Whew!

Scientific and professional positions, medical positions, attorneys and ahandful of other roles require certifications, degrees and education to qualify forfederal employment. If you are seriously thinking that you might be interestedin any of these fields, it might be a good idea to speak with someone in HumanResources about what you need to do to get there.

Much of the information can be found on www.opm.gov as well, but withoutknowing series numbers, it can be difficult to discover readily what you need.For some, going to school is definitely on the agenda, so if this includes you, be-ing smart and target your education toward your end state early. For others, hav-ing a job today is an absolute necessity; positions with positive education re-quirements may not be an immediate solution to those needs.

NDWNews Veteran's Helper: Wounded Warrior's weeklysource for federal employment assistance


Program continues to pay dividendsBy Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service

Editor's Note: This is part two of a three part series.With the first two cohorts of AFPAK Hands deployed or in key staff positions and a third

cohort of about 230 members in training for its upcoming deployment, the program has gen-erated almost 700 Afghanistan and Pakistan specialists.

“They will have various levels of experience, but the bottom line is they have a greater un-derstanding of how these countries work,” Lt. Col. Frederick “Fritz” Gottschalk said.

The hands rotate among three general statuses: deployed, serving related out-of-theaterstaff assignments, and training for the next deployment. Even during the deployment and staffphases, they received continued language and cultural training to ensure their skills don’t lapse.

Meanwhile, the program aims to expand their horizons. For example, about 40 membersof the first cohort are enrolled in master’s degree programs designed to broaden their expertisebefore they return to the theater.

“During their one year in Afghanistan or Pakistan, they are looking at the problems rightin front of them,” Gottschalk said.“When they go into their master’s degree program, they seethe whole picture: the region, the regional dynamics, and how religion [and] travel dynamicsinfluence the area.”

“These folks will study as much as they can and learn as much as they can,” he continued.“Then they will go back into Afghanistan or Pakistan into key billets where they need someonewho thinks at that strategic level and has a deeper understanding of the regional issues anddynamics.”

Gottschalk conceded that the program ran into a few bumps in the road before reachingits current stride.When members of the first cohort began deploying in January 2010, just fourmonths after the program started, many had to figure out their own jobs. Some found them-selves working for commanders on the ground who didn’t know exactly how to use them.

“Nobody really knew what an AFPAK Hand was or their capabilities,” Gottschalk said. “Itwas a learning curve on both sides. The AFPAK Hands had to learn how to integrate into thelocal command structure, and the local command structure had to learn how to best use thatAFPAK Hands capability in his or her area of operations.”

“It was like you are starting to build the plane while you are flying,” he said. “When thathappens, you might put some of the parts in the wrong spot.”

As a result, about 40 percent of that first group was moved to different billets.That droppedto 20 percent for the second cohort, and Gottschalk said he expects an even smoother transi-tion for the third cohort.

AFPAK Hands is a language and cultural immersion initiative which consists of three phases:language and cultural training, in and out of theater deployment. During an out of theater de-ployment a service member can be assigned to a government agency, DoD command or otherorganization where their work in country can be applied and then add to their perspective whenthey redeploy.

"AtHoc is a very important tool foremergencies and exercises like SolidCurtain/Citadel Shield because itprovides instant notification of eventsand circumstances as they develop,"said Keegan.

Aside from AtHoc notification,this year's exercise puts emphasis onthe importance of identifying Mis-sion Essential Personnel (MEP). Pri-or to Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield

2012, all installations within NDWand their tenant activities are to iden-tify respective critical missions andMEP to control base access withoutcausing undue adverse mission im-pact.

"When a base operates during anextended period of heightened FP-CON, identification of mission essen-tial personnel is imperative," saidKeegan. "Mission essential person-nel will reduce the risk of casualtiesby eliminating non-essential person-nel during an incident."

Toledo, Commander, NavyRegion Southwest Sailor of the Year, and Navy CareerCounselor First Class (Surface Warfare) Antonia Brown,Commander, Navy Region Japan Sailor of the Year, werealso finalists in the CNIC Sailor of the Year competition.

"I feel honored to have been selected as CNIC Sailorof the Year because all of the nominees are deserving ofthe award because they are all incredible Sailors whodo great things for those they lead," said Denette.

the taxes for a Sailor, the center will be offering a self-ser-vice environment," said Pan. "Each service member willprepare their own filing using a computer with specializedsoftware. A tax preparation assistant will be available tooffer assistance when needed."

The self-service computer terminals are designed withNavy Sailors and their families in mind. The software isprovided by Military OneSource, based upon the softwareused by H&R Block, he added.

"For the first time tax preparer, the software is very easyto use. All a tax payer has to do is simply answer the ques-tions when prompted," said Pan.

Not only are the services free and easy to use, but thetax preparation assistance offered comes from IRS trainedvolunteers who understands the requirements of Sailorsand their families, he stated.

"Volunteers go through very specific IRS training,which covers everything from very basic tax preparationup to more complicated tax credits and deductions," Pansaid. "Our volunteers are ready to assist personnel fromthe first time tax filer to service members who have beenfiling for years."

Pan mentioned that first time tax filers may be uncom-fortable attempting to file their taxes by themselves, espe-cially if they are recently married or have had a change independency status. Some Sailors may have concerns dueto complications from frequent deployments, and maynot know which state(s) to file. As a result, many Sailorsshould consult a tax professional before attempting to filethemselves.

"The advantage of using theTax Assistance Center overa tax preparer service is that we're free," said Pan. "Unlikeother tax preparation services, the Navy's Tax AssistanceCenters specialize in providing assistance to Sailors andtheir families."

While many service members cringe at the thought of

doing their taxes, filing takes little time at the center. A sim-ple return such as a 1040EZ requires a half hour or less,while a standard 1040 with no itemization can be com-pleted in approximately an hour. More complicated re-turns may require additional time, according to Pan.

Pan suggests Sailors begin the process of filing theiryearly taxes as soon as possible. Waiting until the lastminute when the rush begins could only complicate thefiling process and service members run the risk of evenmissing the deadline altogether.

"File as early as possible. If you are owed a refund, youwill receive your money back that much sooner," he said."Even if you do not expect a refund, filing as soon as pos-sible will get the task out of the way, so Sailors need notconcern themselves with it at the last minute."

The voting assistance officer requires those wishing totake advantage of their services to bring at least the fol-lowing documents to expedite the filing process:

. All proofs of income

. Last year's tax return

. A voided check for direct deposit

. Military and dependent IDs

. Social security cards or taxpayer notices.NDW's NavyVITA Centers are located in building 200,

heart attack. CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood toheart muscle become hardened and narrowed. This is due to thebuildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on theirinner walls. This buildup is called atherosclerosis. As it grows, lessblood can flow through the arteries. As a result, the heart musclecan't get the blood or oxygen it needs. This can lead to chest pain(angina) or a heart attack. Most heart attacks happen when a bloodclot suddenly cuts off the heart’s blood supply, causing permanentheart damage.

You can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developingheart disease. Controlling and preventing risk factors is also impor-tant for people who already have heart disease.

• Maintain your weight or lose weight if overweight.• Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke.• Control cholesterol, blood pressure.• Drink only in moderation.• Get active and eat healthy.• Talk to your doctor about taking aspirin every day if you are a

man over the age of 45, or a woman past menopause.• Manage stress.During the month of February, BHCWNY will focus on sodium’s

effect on blood pressure and how you can control the salt or sodiumin your diet while still enjoying delicious food. Many people far ex-ceed the standard recommendation of 2300 mg of added sodiumper day, which for African Americans and anyone over 55 is reducedto 1500 mg per day. It’s easy to do because so many of us rely onrestaurant and processed foods for nourishment. That food tendsto be much higher in sodium than its home-cooked counter parts.Even among common food items, the amount of sodium can varywidely. For example, per serving, in:

• soup, sodium ranges from, 700 – 1550 mg• frozen pizza, sodium ranges from, 450-1200 mg• salad dressing, sodium ranges from,110-550 mg• bread, sodium ranges from, 95-210 mgTo learn more, please stop by our information table this month
