These efforts have minimized impacts to the in-stallation by consolidating individual constructionevolutions. However, there will still be inconvenienc-es for our commuters.

There will be further impacts to vehicular andpedestrian traffic as the construction projectsprogress throughout the summer. We will continueto actively engage the project managers and pass in-formation to help your employees plan their com-mutes.

Every season has its own shareof destructive weather possibilities,and Naval District Washington(NDW) must constantly be aware ofthese possible threats, the responsi-bility to be always prepared, and theability of the region’s resources toproperly deal with that threat.

Although one often hopes forthe best, the Navy is a military or-ganization, and one does not al-ways fight battles in the best condi-tions. Therefore, preparation forany possible contingency is vital forNDW so the region can endure andrecover from adverse weather con-ditions.

As the weather changes, the po-tential for disruption or disaster dueto destructive weather still remainsever present. Winter provides itsown challenges with the potentialfor snow and ice damage and loss ofproductivity, but recent years haveprovided far too many examples of

the destructive power of the hurri-cane season, which runs roughlyfrom June to November.

"From past experience, we knowthe damage that [natural disasters]can cause," said Timothy Stoesselwith Training and Readiness (N7)."All you have to do is look at theflood of the Naval Academy [duringHurricane Isabel in 2003] to realizethe kind of damage 'All-Hazards'can inflict".

Over the last two centuries, trop-ical cyclones have claimed the livesof approximately 1.9 million people.The United States have had its owncostly reminders of the strength ofhurricanes, notably in 2005 with thestorm surge of Hurricane Katrina,which killed nearly two-thousandand caused 108 billion dollars worthof damage, the costliest in Ameri-can history.

NDW, and the Navy as a whole,considers the safety of its Sailorsand their families to be the highestpossible priority, especially duringviolent weather. Therefore, there is

a large emphasis in all Navy com-mands on security and accounta-bility before, during, and after de-structive weather. The Navy FamilyAccountability and Assessment Sys-tem (NFAAS) is a key part of this ac-countability. The Navy uses NFAASto account for Sailors and Navyfamilies, as well as to identify disas-ter-related needs of Navy families.Sailors and their families shouldensure their information is up todate in NFAAS.

"Prudent steps taken by all handstobepreparedfordestructiveweath-er phenomena that our region expe-riences greatly minimizes missiondegradationandthepossibilityoflossof life and damage to governmentandpersonalproperty,"saidThomp-son Gerke, with NDW Operations(N3).

With a single act a life might never be the same.Sexual assault is being brought to light as Sexual

Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) begins in April.SAAM has been observed annually since 2001, andPresident Barack Obama first proclaimed April asSAAM in 2009. The teal ribbon is traditionally ob-served as the symbol for the movement.

In the United States, approximately 3.7 millionwomen are sexually assaulted each year. The Navy,along with other military branches, also suffers fromunusually high prevalence of sexual assault as over 600individuals were sexually assaulted in fiscal year 2010alone.

"To alert you to the scale of the problem, statisticsindicate sexual assaults occur in our Navy on averagethree times a day," said Rear Adm. Denny Moynihan,Chief of Information. "This is simply unacceptable."

During this Easter Season for many in the world to-day, do they know the joy of the resurrection? The RisenJesus revealed the glory of His resurrection to His disci-ples gradually and over a period of time. Even after theapostles saw the empty tomb and heard the reports ofJesus' appearance to the women, they were still weak infaith and fearful of being arrested by the Jewish author-ities. When Jesus appeared to them He offered proofs ofHis resurrection by showing them the wounds of Hispassion, His pierced hands and side. He calmed theirfears and brought them peace, the peace which recon-ciles sinners and makes one a friend of God. Jesus didsomething which only love and trust can do. He com-missioned His weak and timid apostles to carry theGospel to the ends of the earth. This sending out of the

disciples is parallel to the sending out of Jesus by His Fa-ther. Jesus fulfilled his mission through His perfect loveand perfect obedience to the will of His Father. He calledHis disciples, and he calls us to do the same. Just as Hegave his first disciples the gift of the Holy Spirit, so Hebreathes on us the same Holy Spirit who equips us withpower, grace, and strength.

The last apostle to meet the resurrected Lord was thefirst to go with Him to Jerusalem at Passover time. Theapostle Thomas was a natural pessimist. When Jesusproposed that they visit Lazarus after receiving news ofHis illness, Thomas said to the disciples: "Let us also go,that we may die with him" (John 11:16). While Thomasdeeply loved the Lord, he lacked the courage to standwith Jesus in his passion and crucifixion. After Jesus'death, Thomas made the mistake of withdrawing fromthe other apostles. He sought loneliness rather than fel-lowship in his time of adversity. He doubted the womenwho saw the resurrected Jesus and he doubted his own

fellow apostles. When Thomas finally had the courageto rejoin the other apostles, the Lord Jesus made Hispresence known to him and reassured him that He hadindeed overcome death and risen again. When Thomasrecognized his Master, he believed and exclaimed thatJesus was truly Lord and truly God! Through the gift offaith we, too, proclaim that Jesus is our personal Lordand our God. He died and rose that we, too, might havenew life in Him. The Lord offers each of us new life inHis Holy Spirit that we may know Him personally andwalk in this new way of life through the power of His res-urrection. Do we believe in God's word and the powerof the Holy Spirit?

"Lord Jesus Christ, through Your victory over sin anddeath You have overcome all the powers of darkness.Help us to draw near to You and to trust in Your life-giv-ing word. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and strengthenour faith in Your promises and my hope in the power ofYour resurrection."

WASHINGTON -- The TransportationSecurity Administration (TSA) has ex-panded its Pre-Check program to servicemembers flying out of Ronald ReaganWashington National Airport (DCA). Thismeans anyone on active-duty with aCommon Access Card (CAC) is now eligi-ble to receive expedited security screen-ings.

The TSA initiative began March 20 andis also available for active drilling re-servists, National Guardsmen, as well asmembers of the Coast Guard. To partici-pate, service members must go to theTSA pre-check lane at the security check-point in the terminal and simply presenttheir CAC to a TSA officer who will scanthe card to verify their status with a DoDdatabase.

Once verified, members will not berequired to remove their shoes, outer-wear, and belts. Service members canalso keep their laptop computers in theirrespective cases and their 3-1-1 compli-

ant liquids/gels in their carry-on luggage."This initiative is part of our shift

away from a one-size-fits all approachand instead toward implementing moreintelligence driven, risk-based securitymeasures," said TSA spokesperson Kawi-ka Riley.

Riley noted that eligible service mem-bers do not need to be in uniform toqualify for pre-screening benefits andthat gate passes for families are alsoavailable on a case-by-case basis. He saidapproximately 400 active-duty membersuse DCA on any given day during theweek.

While still a pilot program, Riley saidthe TSA will be looking over data and willmake an assessment in the future on howto expand the program to other airportsaround the country. The TSA pre-checkwill be available at Terminal B, which isthe south checkpoint in DCA for DeltaAirlines flyers.

It was once called one of the mosthaunted lighthouses in America, but itwas the weeds that were making thePoint Lookout Lighthouse look reallyscary.

Thanks to the hard work of about adozen people from Naval Test Wing At-lantic, the lighthouse at Point LookoutState Park looks a lot more inviting asit prepares to open its doors to thepublic for the season.

“Normally we have about six toeight dedicated volunteers,” saidRobert Hall, Pt. Lookout LighthousePreservation Society president. “Hav-ing the Navy come out helps us expo-nentially.”

The volunteers from NTWL, bothmilitary and civilian, spent last Fridayweeding, cleaning up sidewalks,scrubbing floors and generally makingthe lighthouse look better. Built in1830, the lighthouse needs a lot ofwork. Since PLLPS is a private organi-zation with few fundraising opportu-nities, volunteer assistance is crucial.Naval Counselor Chief Ryan Marlatt isinstrumental in coordinating the com-

munity relations endeavor for NTWL.“My son, Lucas, and I volunteer

here as a father and son project,” Mar-latt said.

Lucas, 8, had learned about thelighthouse from a former TV show en-titled “Mystery Hunters.” When theMarlatt family moved to NAS PatuxentRiver, they happily discovered howclose Point Lookout Lighthouse was.The elder Marlatt then introduced hisson to volunteering and giving back tothe community.

“When you give Lucas a job, hesticks with it,” Hall said. “He’s got greatfocus.”

Marlatt then arranged to broadenthe effort and bring in colleagues. “Ithought it would be a great way to getour office together to do some hardwork outside the office,” he said.

Julie Richard, civilian budget ana-lyst with NTWL, agrees.

“I think this is great,” she said, tak-ing a break from clearing grass that wasovergrowing a sidewalk. “It gets me outof the office for a bit to help out.”

The PLLPS is beginning a new sea-son in April and has open houses of thelighthouse the first weekend of eachmonth through November. For moreinformation, go to http://pllps.org.

WASHINGTON -- Naval Surface War-fare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD)scientists and engineers participated inthe District of Columbia Public School’sScience, Technology, Engineering, andMath (STEM) Fair on Saturday, March 24.

“NSWC Carderock Division’s participa-tion in the DC STEM Fair gives us thechance to foster STEM partnerships withDC public schools and to work with ouroutreach partners at Naval Sea SystemsCommand (NAVSEA) Headquarters andother commands such as the Naval Histo-ry and Heritage Command at the Washing-ton Navy Yard,” said NSWCCD Ocean En-gineer Toby Ratcliffe, an integral K-12STEM Outreach coordinator.

The DC STEM Fair provided an oppor-tunity for 244 students from 37 K-12 pub-lic, public charter, parochial, private andhome schools to showcase their researchskills in math and science. Twenty six dif-

ferent organizations participated in theDC STEM Fair including NSWCCD, Na-tional Geographic, and the National Mu-seum of the United States Navy’s (USN)Education and Public Programs Depart-ment (EPPD).

NSWCCD engineers and scientists notonly enjoy working with students helpingthem to learn naval science disciplines butthey know it is also important to developthe next generation of scientists and engi-neers who will become the future work-force of the maritime industry.

“I am here because letting kids knowthey have the knowledge and ability tosucceed at science and math is impor-tant,” NSWCCD Corrosion and Coatings,Research and Development Team LeadElissa Bumiller said, “Yes, some of the con-cepts are difficult, but through workingwith hands-on projects they can more eas-ily understand how to wire a circuit to runa bristle bot, they can learn how to pro-gram the TI bot [Calculator –controlled ro-

Pearl Harbor Christmas: A World at War,December 1941 by Stanley Weintraub. Pub-lished DaCapo Press, Cambridge, Massachu-setts. 224 pages,2011.

Published on Pearl Harbor Day 2011,award-winning historian and author StanleyWeintraub has written an account of theeleven days in which the United States ob-served the holidays right after December 7,1941. In the opening parts of the book it dis-cusses the prelude to war and how Prime Min-isterWinston Churchill would arrange to travelto the United States that month spending theChristmas holidays in talks with PresidentFranklin Roosevelt.

Weintraub begins with December 22, 1941and ends with January 1, 1942, each date rep-resenting a chapter in the book and exploreswhat was occurring in Europe and Asia duringthis time. The book mainly focuses on the dis-cussions between Churchill and Roosevelt,and the need to align the common strategy to-wards defeating Germany first. Readers willsee how Churchill set up a map room in theWhite House that so impressed Roosevelt hehad one installed in a ladies powder and restroom.

During the time Churchill was preparing toaddress Congress, the Germans were grap-pling with the arrival of winter in Russia thatwas slowing the progress of the Wehrmacht(the German Army); in Asia the Japanese Armywere pushing through Malaya towards Singa-pore. You will learn of personal touches like

Eleanor Roosevelt making preparations for theBritish delegation, and how the British digni-taries were not used to such delicacies as realeggs, as many in England were on rations andate powdered eggs. The nation’s foundingdocuments would be crated on December23rd for a trip to Fort Knox for deep storage,these documents would not return to Wash-ington D.C until 1944.

The Prime Minister’s delegation were un-used to a fully lit city, and the Christmas Treebeing lit at theWhite House as Londoners hadbeen the victim of the German air raids,known as “The Blitz,” and mandatory black-outs were a nightly occurrence. The book alsorecounts Churchill’s minor stroke that he con-cealed as he was set to address a joint sessionof Congress. It was only after Churchill’s deathin 1965 that his physician revealed this.

As you read, you will gain a sense of themany things that were done in the space of 24hours, and what is extraordinary is to remem-ber that President Roosevelt was wheelchairbound. The book is very critical of GeneralDouglas MacArthur, who assured PresidentRoosevelt that he had it under control and hadto abandon the Philippines for the rock of Cor-regidor, this despite having the forewarning ofthe Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941.

It is an interesting and timely book pub-lished during the 70th anniversary of Pearl Har-bor. If you enjoyed this book, read StanleyWeintraub’s “15 Stars, Eisenhower, MacArthur,Marshall:Three GeneralsWho Saved the Amer-ican Century,” (Free Press, 2007). “Pearl HarborChristmas,” is also available on audio book.

How do I get a non-law enforcement job?Q: I am about to be medicallyretired from an infantry MOS [Military

OccupationalSpecialty]andIreallywanttogetintosomethingdifferent.Many pals of mine have tried to break into intel and law enforcementbut I want to do something totally unrelated.I realize not every job outthere has you carrying a gun and shooting bad guys.I am actually prettysick of that.How do I position myself for something different? I am opento lots of fields and wouldn’t even mind working at a desk job.

A: It’s refreshing to hear of someone in your position who doesn’t want to go into lawenforcement or intel: those are two of the most commonly requested career paths for vets.I certainly understand why: you have been trained to understand and execute those sortsof roles if you spent any time in an infantry MOS. A whole world of opportunity is opento you if you are willing to try something outside your comfort zone.

Your resume is the first stop on the road to a new career. In order for maximum mar-ketability, you need to highlight the skills you have developed in the military which matchthe field you would like to break into. Let’s say that you are good with numbers and canenvision yourself working with budgets. Front and center on your resume are words like“accountability”,“metrics”,“tracking”,“allocation” and other terms which apply to the po-sition you are targeting. I am sure that you honed skills in analysis, presentation creation,and are able to meet deadlines or function under austere conditions, being mindful ofprocess, safety, teamwork and to accomplish mission objectives. Those traits translate topretty much any job and should therefore be the focus of the first few lines of your resume.Anything you want a hiring manager to know should be easy to see and read, eye catching,prominent and relevant. Don’t bury important stuff in the body of your resume as you de-tail your experience with a variety of weapons. Focus on what applies to your chosen field.

Use the same strategy for your interview. Make matches between work you did thatmay (at first) seem unrelated, but required development of abilities which apply to theposition you are interviewing for. Be honest about your experience level but make solidconnections. Don’t spend time saying “Wow, I never did that.” Find something you DIDdo that was similar and show why you fit. Good luck!

bots], they can learn how theSeaPerch moves and how to controlit.”

Students get their first taste ofhow engineers use mathematics andscience in designing, building, andtesting ships, boats, and submarinesby building and operating theirSeaPerch projects. SeaPerch is a na-tional outreach effort that engagesmiddle and high school studentswith science and engineering con-cepts by allowing them to design and

build underwater remotely operatedvehicles.

Sprawled out on the gymnasiumfloor surrounded by TI and Bristlebots, and SeaPerch projectsXiuChen, an Alice Deal Middle Schooleighth grader, who has visited Carde-rock recently at the 2012 MathcountsContest said that her favorite aspectof STEM is learning about what sci-entists have to offer to the next gen-eration.

An essential component ofSeaPerch is teacher training. Teach-ers participate in a two-day trainingprogram to “teach the teachers” howto build the SeaPerch, and also dis-

cuss curriculum. After teacher train-ing, SeaPerch is built into the cur-riculum allowing students to learnabout principles such as: buoyancy,propulsion, design, electrical, waterproofing, tool safety and usage,while also learning about career pos-sibilities that could in turn become areality for many students acrossAmerica.

For more information aboutSeaPerch, please visit:www.seaperch.org, where studentsand teachers can blog, post videoand pictures, and view training videosegments of the build process.

Another group of Navy Afghan Hands COIN advisorshave completed training and arrived in Afghanistan. Co-hort 3C, comprised of eight Sailors, six from D.C. and twofrom Norfolk, arrived safely at Bagram Airfield,Afghanistan from Manas Air Base, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, onMarch 29, 2012.

Their arrival was preceded by a lengthy five monthstraining program which culminated with a end of Febru-ary final exam in Dari and a capstone exercise held at theDefense Language Institute, Washington DC in Rosslyn,Virginia. A total of 14 Dari language students, five of themNavy, took part in the exercise.

"HURREX/Citadel Gale isthe Navy's exercise to preparefor the annual hurricane sea-son," said Stoessel. "We have anAll-Hazardsplanwhichincludesweather, and we use this exer-cise to get ready prior to June."

HURREX/CitadelGale2012will involve two simulatedstorm systems developing andintensifying to hurricanestrength, threatening theCaribbean Islands, East Coastand Gulf Coast regions. TheNavy will focus on training un-der five "conditions of readi-ness" that start at four days be-foreastormhitsandprogressesall the way up to 12 hours prior.

Although the exercise doesnot involve any real move-ment of ships or aircraft, theexercise is designed to be asreal as possible. Commander,Task Force 20 will simulate asortie, and Sailors ashore andafloat, in port or underway will

review their heavy weather in-structions and procedures.

According to Stoessel, eventhough the training and testingprocedure is an annual fixture,there is always more to gainfrom the repetition of exerciseslike HURREX/Citadel Gale.

"There are always lessonslearned every year, especiallyon how to communicate betterwith commands and the localcommunity," said Stoessel.

With proper preparationand training, the dangers ofdestructive weather can bemitigated, and this year is nodifferent. It is everyone's re-sponsibility to ensure the safe-ty of equipment, and more im-portantly, Sailors and theirfamilies.

SAAM in the Navy looks to break down the barriers aroundtalking about an admittedly uncomfortable topic by dis-cussing the issue around 4 themes: Hurts One, Affects All, Pre-vention is Everyone's Duty, and We Will Not Tolerate SexualAssault.

Sailors will attend educational standdowns throughout themonth, and a multitude of events will be taking place through-out NDW. This week, particular focus is being put on the effectsexual assault has on the individual, the victim, of sexual as-sault.

The individual victim can be anyone, and no one is im-mune because of gender or any other factors. Besides the ob-vious physical trauma of an assault, the emotional effects canbe far-reaching and devastating. According to the Pennsylva-nia Council Against Rape, effects can include denial, helpless-ness, dislike of sex, anger, self-blame, anxiety, shame, night-mares, fear, depression, flashbacks, guilt, rationalization,mood-swings, numbness, promiscuity, loneliness, social anx-iety, difficulty trusting oneself or others, and difficulty concen-trating. These effects can last for years, and in some cases, therest of one's life.

"We are committed to preventing sexual assault, and weare dedicated to ensuring victims of sexual assault have accessto the resources they need, to include medical care, counsel-ing, criminal investigation support and much more," saidCommander, Navy Installations CommandVice Adm.WilliamD. French.

The emphasis on the individual this week is to ensure thatall Sailors know, no matter whom they are, that the victims ofsexual assaults "are their shipmates". It is unrealistic for oneto assume that sexual assault is not their problem since it af-fects those shipmates, and by extension, his or herself.

"Our Navy has made good progress over the years in re-ducing sexual assaults, but we're still not where we need tobe," said NDW Command Master Chief Leland Moore."GMT's, standdowns, and awareness of resources availablesuch as hotline numbers and command SAPR's will helpSailors be prepared to act in preventing sexual assaults."

When it comes to alcohol consumption,how much is too much?

Every year, millions of Americans—1 inevery 13 adults—suffer from alcohol abuse oralcohol dependence. Millions more drink attimes or in ways that can place themselves orothers at risk.

Military personnel and their families maybe particularly susceptible to alcohol misusebecause of the unique stresses associated withmilitary life. A 2009 study by the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention and the Uni-versity of Minnesota revealed that 43% per-cent of active-duty military personnel reportbinge drinking in the last 30 days.

“Occasional alcohol use can cause few, ifany, problems. However, at-risk or heavydrinking can impact all aspects of a servicemember’s life, including health and family,”says Lt Col Hans Ritschard, Force Health Pro-tection & Readiness Programs, Director of Psy-chological Health Strategic Operations.“Screening is the first step in assessingwhether someone should reduce alcohol con-sumption or get help in doing so.”

To help those who may be struggling, theBranch Health ClinicWashington NavyYard isoffering self-assessments onThursday, April 5,2012 from 0730 -1330 at the clinic, Building175. The screening is also available online 24hours a day, seven days a week atwww.DrinkingIQ.org. After completing the

brief self-assessment about alcohol use andbehaviors, service members will receive refer-ral information including services provided byTRICARE, Military OneSource andVet Centers.

In addition to offering alcohol question-naires, the clinic will be providing free sportswater bottles with the message:“Do you knowyour drinking IQ?”

Signs that you, a friend or a loved one mayhave an alcohol problem:

• Drinking to calm nerves, forget worries orboost a sad mood

• Guilt about drinking• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down/stop

drinking• Lying about or hiding drinking habits• Causing harm to oneself or someone else

as a result of drinking• Needing to drink increasingly greater

amounts in order to achieve desired effect• Feeling irritable, resentful or unreason-

able when not drinking• Medical, social, family or financial prob-

lems caused by drinkingAlcohol screenings are a part of Military

Pathways®, a voluntary, anonymous mentalhealth and alcohol self-assessment and refer-ral program offered to military families andservice members affected by deployment. It isoffered online and via the telephone 24/7, aswell as through in-person events. This pro-gram is part of the Department of Defensecontinuum of care, and is fully funded byForce Health Protection and Readiness, Officeof the Assistant Secretary of Defense, HealthAffairs.

What is your drinking IQ?

By Chief of Naval PersonnelPublic Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Chief of NavalPersonnel was honored for his command'svolunteer efforts during a Naval DistrictWashington Regional Community ServiceProgram awards presentation March 27 atNaval Support Facility Arlington, Va.

During the ceremonyVice Adm. ScottVanBuskirk accepted theWorld ofThanks Award,which recognizes commands and organiza-tions that made a significant contribution inthe coordination of a Naval DistrictWashing-ton Community Service projects.

"I'm constantly impressed - in fact, awed- by the service and dedication of the SailorsI have the privilege to lead,"Van Buskirk said.

In a one year period, from July 2010 toJune 2011,Van Buskirk said nearly 240 volun-teers in his command completed more than2,270 hours of community service, support-ing a number of diverse projects and touch-ing the lives of almost 20,000 people.

Some of those projects included leading aholiday donation drive and summer back-pack drive that raised more than 400 poundsof food for the Arlington Food AssistanceCenter.Volunteers also participated in Oper-ation USO Care Package on Fort Belvoir,which put together more than 8,500 carepackages for service members overseas, andvolunteered more than 500 hours in theWashington, D.C. scouting program. Chief ofNaval Personnel Sailors also gave their timeto help with last summer's D.C. SpecialOlympics and conducted a blood drive at theNavy Annex.

In addition to the award for the entirecommand, five individual Sailors were recog-nized for their individual contributions withthe Inspire by Example Award.The award rec-ognizes those Sailors who display a selfless-ness and strong commitment to helping themilitary family, encouraging team work andinspiring others to volunteer.

Personnel Specialist 1st Class Andrew Lu-

cio, Yeoman 2nd Class Tamoris Gordon, Yeo-man 1st Class Dewayne Toon, Chief Machin-ist's Mate Douglas Baker, and Chief Opera-tions Specialist Jessica Myers each receivedthe award.

"The project that has been the most re-warding thus far has been our Future LeadersClub at the Arlington Career Center (ACC),"said Myers. "It's important to give back andimpact today's youth, our future, and servingas positive role models they can emulate."

The Chief of Naval Personnel signed a for-mal partnership with the ACC in April 2010.Through the partnership, Navy volunteershold individual and group mentoring ses-sions with students, provide lectures, leadpractical exercises, and act as guest speakerswith the goal of equipping students themwith the skills to be college-bound. The ACCserves nearly 1,100 students each day.

"You truly serve as an example to us all ofwhat can be accomplished when you dedi-cate your time, creativity and energy in serv-ing others," Van Buskirk said.
