"The satisfaction of pursuing your passionis the best motivation possible; for if you canmake a living doing what you want to do, youwill hardly ever have to do a day of work," saidSenior Historian, Dr. Michael Crawford, whowas recently honored by the Naval History andHeritage Command (NHHC) for 30 years ofdedicated service.

Surrounded by nearly 100 coworkers andfriends, Crawford received his 30-year servicepin and certificate from Rear Adm. (ret) Jay A.DeLoach, Director of NHHC, during a cere-mony held Jan. 25 at the National Museum ofthe U.S. Navy's Museum Educational Center.

"Dr. Crawford is a key member and intel-lectual linchpin of the NHHC team," said De-Loach. "Over the last 30 years, he has played avital role in the growth and success of 'makingNaval history and heritage come alive' for theNavy and the American public. His passionand intellectual insights have helped create astrong foundation of the institutional memory

of the Navy that can be used for decision-mak-ing, policy development, operational plan-ning, and educational outreach."

Crawford has been described as an invalu-able asset to the command by NHHC's Assis-tant Director of Histories and Archives Divi-sion, Greg Martin, who said he feels fortunateto have him as member of the leadershipteam.

"Crawford's expertise contributes daily tothe command's missions of telling the Navy'sstory," said Martin.

Following a yearlong fellowship editinghistorical documents at the Adams Papersproject at the Massachusetts Historical Socie-ty, Crawford joined the NHHC staff in 1982. In1990 he became head of the Early HistoryBranch, a position he held until 2008.

"February 22, 1982, was a bitterly cold dayin Washington, D.C. I remember my glassesfogging up when I entered the offices of the"Research Branch," where I began my work asa naval historian," said Crawford, who jokedthat since he started work for the Navy he wasalways open to better job offers, but in the last30 years a better offer never came along.

Throughout the course of his 30-year ca-reer with NHHC, Crawford has served asDeputy Director of the Histories and ArchivesDivision, Head of the Reference Branch andActing Head of the Histories Branch. In 2008,he accepted his current position as Senior His-

torian.Coworkers describe Crawford as calm, pro-

fessional and a natural leader with a strongwork ethic.

"He takes every day very seriously andspends his time getting as much done as hecan," said Christine Hughes, a historian atNHHC who has worked alongside Crawfordfor 26 years. "We all see that; we all see that heis working toward his goals, and it makeseveryone else around him want to measureup."

Hughes said one of the things she has en-joyed most about working with having Craw-ford is his creativity and the way he brings peo-ple together through history.

"One of the missions of NHHC is to makehistory come alive for our Sailors andMarines," said Hughes. "Dr. Crawford alwaysmanages to find both witty and entertainingways to do that."

Crawford said some of his most memo-rable moments at the NHHC have been theoccasional public performances he has done

I think it's going to benefit theSailors and Marines that workhere because it's going to takemost of the security that we haveto do physically off of the plate be-cause they are going to be able todo it remotely.

WASHINGTON - The Naval District Washington regionalemployee transportation program has launched a new websitewhich aims to assist employees in the region with transporta-tion issues.

The website contains information and assistance to em-ployees to improve both commutes and local business travel,including public and private transportation services, trans-portation subsidies, and schedules for shuttles which run to thePentagon and other DoD installations in the area.www.cnic.navy.mil/NDW/AboutEmployeeTransportationPro-gram/index.htm

"The goal is to cut down on congestion, it's to help employ-ees get to and from work easily, to help everyone be aware of alltheir choices," said Marc Oliphant, regional employee trans-portation coordinator. "We want everyone to know there's atransit subsidy and how they can get it. We want everyone toknow that vanpooling is also eligible for the subsidy. We canhelp them get connected with a vanpool. We want to get therules and regulations out to everyone."

The website is just the latest improvement to the transporta-tion situation for federal employees who work in Naval DistrictWashington. During much of the past year, Oliphant and othershave worked on a comprehensive transportation planning doc-ument for the region, the "Regional Transportation Vision,"which will help shape decisions to improve how employees getto, from, and around installations.

"Due to environmental and regulatory constraints we canno longer just build our way out of transportation problemswith more parking. NDW is launching a new, proactive andcomprehensive program to manage transportation," saidOliphant.

The program will also include brochure displays and kiosksat each installation for employees to pick up information abouttheir travel choices. The first "NavyYard Commuter Central Sta-tion" is already in place in building 22 (across from the bank) atthe Washington Navy Yard. Another display is also in place inthe cafeteria at NSF Arlington.

"Once, for instance, for an audience ofschool children, I did a telephone dialog withContinental Navy officers from beyond thegrave to teach about the beginnings of theNavy during the American Revolution," ex-plained Crawford. "After the presentation,one of the school children asked me, 'Youweren't really on the phone with John PaulJones, were you?'"

In addition to those special momentswhen he brings history to life, Crawford hasaccomplished some very notable achieve-ments such as editing two major award-win-ning documentary series and writing/editing14 books. Additionally, he shares credit withtwo co-authors for the book Interpreting OldIronsides: An Illustrated Guide to USS Con-stitution.

Of his many accomplishments, Crawfordsaid one stands out from the rest - the publi-cation of several volumes of the Naval Docu-ments of the American Revolution series.

"This project was very fulfilling," saidCrawford. "But protecting this lengthy andhistorically valuable project from a prematureend is of even greater significance.The docu-mentation of the naval side of the War of In-

dependence is so extensive and so scatteredthat the full history will be known only if andwhen this project is finished."

In recognition of his dedication and con-tributions to naval history, the USS Constitu-tion Museum named Crawford a recipient ofits 2008 Samuel Eliot Morison Award, thehighest recognition by the Board of aTrusteesof the USS Constitution Museum Foundationof a person whose public service has en-hanced the image of USS Constitution andwho reflects the best of maritime historianRear Adm. Samuel Eliot Morison: artful schol-arship, patriotic pride, and eclectic interest inthe sea and things maritime, and a desire topreserve the best of our past for future gener-ations.

More recently in 2011, the Navy awardedhim the Meritorious Civilian Service Awardand NHHC named him civilian of the year.

Crawfordsaidheisnotreadyforretirementjust yet; he still loves what he does every day.

"The most important quality for successin any career is passion for the work you aredoing," he said. "I expect to continue workingfor some time to come, at least until my six-ty-sixth birthday. After I retire, I might go fish-ing, but I am sure I will continue reading, re-searching, and writing history."

NDWNewsWhat happens when I can't hold a clearance?

Q: I just got offered a job and it requires a Secret level clearance.My credit is terrible (really terrible-my wife ran up a lot of bills rightbefore I got out of the Army and then left without making any pay-ments) and I have a DUI on my record.My buddies have basically toldme that I won't be able to hold a clearance. Should I just look some-where else? I hate to turn the job down but I also know what they will

uncover and I don't want to waste time.

A: You are in a tough spot. I fully empathize. Without knowing what the position youhave been offered is, I can only give broad strokes. Basically, if you are going to hold a jobthat requires you to look at financials (anything in the 0500 series-budget, accounting, au-diting, etc.), bad credit is probably a no-go. These jobs have what's called a "nexus" or di-rect relationship to the way you handle money in your personal life. If your new role does-n't have those sorts of duties attached to it, credit might not be so important.

The DUI is a bit more troubling. How long ago was it? A recent DUI (within the past 3years) combined with a problematic credit report may kill your offer, but it might not.Again, is there a nexus-will you be operating a vehicle or something similar?

The decision to grant to deny a clearance is made by a Security Manager or an adjudi-cating body. There are guidelines in place at each agency so that the standards are appliedconsistently to everyone who applies. You may be able to explain the situation when youturn in your completed security package. I would take full advantage of the opportunity towrite down what happened, why it happened, and how it won't happen again in the con-tinuation space on your SF86 form. A Secret isn't as strict as aTop Secret, so it could be thatyou are granted an interim clearance while more research is done. Or it could come back anabsolute "No." I would definitely advise that you keep checking out other job opportunities.Remember that nothing is certain until you have your final offer and reporting instructions.

Lt.Cmdr.Josh Frey is an AFPAK Hand from Naval DistrictWashington. As a Navy Public AffairsOfficer, he has been able to make great inroads into mentoring and coordinating with Afghanmedia and organizations interactions with the media. Frey writes about how the AFPAK Handsprogram has forwarded him the opportunity to build lasting relationships with local media.

Since April of 2011, I have been leading a group for the Deputy Chief of Staff of Communi-cations (DCOS COM) for Headquarters International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) that doesoutreach to Afghan government spokespersons.We have recently expanded our mission to in-clude outreach to Afghan media. It is a standard function for public affairs in any mission. How-ever, in Afghanistan not every public affairs practitioner is able to perform this role due to secu-rity and knowledge of the language and culture. AFPAK Hands has enabled me to go out intothe populace to help provide better insight into the media landscape, but also to build relation-ships with the media and receive feedback on how ISAF is performing its communications role.With the unique force protection and grooming standards allowances, such as wearing localcivilian clothes and growing beards, AFPAK Hands can move more freely in the populace andblend in easier.This, combined with the ability to build quick relationships with Afghans becauseof our language ability, we are able to open doors where others cannot. We then enable accessfor others, such as our leadership in DCOS COM, to meet with Afghan media, opinion leadersand key government spokesmen.

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 other or-ganization where their work in country can be applied and then add to their perspective whenthey redeploy.

Ostkrieg: Hitler’s War ofExtermination in the EastReviewed by CommanderYoussef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN

Ostkrieg: Hitler'sWar of Extermination inthe East by Stephen G.Fritz.Published by Uni-versity Press of Kentucky, Lexington, KY. 664pages, 2011.

Dr.FritztakesreadersintoanextraordinaryhistoricalnarrativeofthelargestfrontofWorldWar II, the titanic struggle between Hitler andStalin that involved millions of soldiers andcivilians. Synthesizing Soviet and Germanarchives we gain a better appreciation for thecomplicity of German generals in executingHitler's plans of genocide. After World War II,German generals blamed the atrocities onHitler, the Nazis, and Himmler's SS, butarchives show their direct participation.

The Eastern Front of World War II pres-ents readers with staggering numbers, whichcan be appreciated in the book's appendix,such as between 1941 and 1944 the book re-veals that 4,170,289 German and 10,008,434Soviet deaths occurred. The book details themillions of tons of raw materials consumedby Germany, the Soviet Union, Great Britain,and the United States to wage war. Pages dis-cuss the concerns Hitler had for sustainingthe Nazi war machine with various dwin-dling resources.

Dr. Fritz also provides detailed analyticrationale for major decisions on the EasternFront, such as the central question of whyHitler decided to invade the Soviet Unionwhen he did? In addition, you will get a seatat the table when major discussions and

planning would take place for OperationBarbarossa (the German invasion of the So-viet Union). The Germans would amass 5million men in June 1941. You will gain in-sights into the hubris of the German highcommand, a delusion that the invasion ofRussia would be like France in 1940. No realdebate occurred in the planning sessionsover the logistical needs of supplying threeGerman Army Groups over the cast dis-tances of the Russian steppe.

Pages delve into the operational analysisof Erich von Manstein, typically consideredthe most brilliant German general of WorldWar II, as well as armored tank general HeinzGuderian and there Soviet adversary GeneralGeorgi Zhukov, and Vasily Chuikov. You willun-package such battles as Stalingrad,Leningrad, Crimea, and Kursk to name a fewmajor engagements involving thousands ofmen, tanks, artillery, and planes.

The author through his blending of west-ern and eastern archives reasserts the prima-cy of the Soviet-German front in World WarII. It is truly a magnificent work of militaryhistory integrating ideological, economic,political, and military dimensions of this the-ater of war. Seventy five percent of Germancasualties were suffered in the Russian front,and the book ends with Soviet forces underthe command of Generals Zhukov,Kuznetsov, and Chuikov taking Berlin. Thecasualty numbers never leaves the reader.

Editor's Note: Commander Aboul-Eneinteaches part-time at the Industrial College ofthe Armed Forces. He is author of an upcom-ing book "Iraq in Turmoil:Historical Perspec-tives of Dr. Ali al-Wardi from the Ottomans toKing Feisal," (Naval Institute Press, April2012).

The activity can beshown by a thermal or infrared cam-era. As scenarios begin to play outduring the exercise and situationalawareness becomes more crucial,emergency management watchstanders at the ROC and the Emer-gency Operation Centers will takeadvantage of the system to monitorperimeters and enhance situationalawareness.

"VPMS will remain in use duringthe exercise providing constant visu-al situational awareness to the com-mand element," said Russell. "Itshould provide a picture of the over-all effectiveness of the projected andperceived benefits."

One of the unique capabilitiesthat the system provides to the re-gion is the wireless networking sys-tem. "Wireless networking allows usto deploy video cameras in a securefashion and be able to get signalsfrom locations that we don't havewired network connectivity," saidJohnson. "The system meets or ex-ceeds current DoD requirements forwireless and it will ensure our safetyto the utmost."

these technologies the region can adjust en-ergy distribution and controls to lower costand deter energy to power critical assetsduring an emergency.

"The (energy compliance) that drives alot of our data is the three percent per yearfederal mandate on energy intensity, sowe've focused a lot of effort into that," saidShore Readiness Director on the Chief ofNaval Operations staff, Rear Adm. DavidM. Boone. "Partial to meeting those com-pliance requirements we want to improveenergy security of our bases and lessen thevulnerability."

To meet those requirements the Navy'sEnergy Shore Program looks at three dif-ferent areas which include energy efficien-cy, renewable energy and sustainability aswell as Navy energy culture.

During the presentation, the RegionalEngineer for NDW and NAVFAC Washing-ton's Commanding Officer, Capt. KennethBranch spoke on how the region has takenthe initiative and addressed the region'sobjective by analyzing what systems toolslike smart meters have produced.

"The objectives of the region is to bringthe kilowatts of consumption down andbring the renewable generation up in asmart way in terms of business engineer-ing and other principles," said Branch.

NDW has networked advanced metersthat track energy consumption with exist-ing building and utility control systemsonto a single, secure system. Energy data is

displayed with dashboard systems to allowmanagers to remotely and securely moni-tor and direct energy systems across theentire installation. The system can respondto external drivers like current energy sup-ply challenges and weather, as well as in-ternal demand signals such as military op-erations and facility maintenance.

"With Smart Grid technologies, com-manding officers can divert energy in anemergency to power critical assets with thepush of a button," said NDW Chief Infor-mation Officer, Jeffrey Johnson. "On a moreday-to-day basis, energy managers canquickly pinpoint where we are consuming

more energy than we should so we canquickly take steps to address the problem."

River sediment testing

U.S. Navy photo by MC2 Kiona Miller

In March 2004, several materials (sand, clay and manufactured sub-stances) were placed in several strips on the bottom of the Anacostia Riverto determine their ability to seal in contaminants in the sediment.

Mr. Ernest Arias, a Navy scientist at SPAWAR Systems Center-Pacific atSan Diego, CA is testing a new probe that responds to the acoustic emis-sions of sediment particles to see the results of the capping.

After getting the permits required to disturb the river bottom, he hasbrought the probe and a small platform to DC. He assembled them at JointBase Anacostia-Bolling with the support of the Marina team. The platformwas towed to the capping test site near Diamond Teague Park. The probewas deployed to measure characteristics of the cap after eight years.

The probe is an economical tool with the unique capability of acquiringgrain size measurements of sub-surface sediments. The Anacostia Riversand cap was selected to demonstrate the capabilities of the probe. Thesite survey will determine condition of the cap; including cap thickness, dis-persion and possibly extent of mixing with native sediments. This informa-tion may indicate capping is a viable solution in contaminated rivers andstreams.
