One strength of the military is the camaraderie -- and even sense of family -- among co-workers. When military personnel retire, they invariably say that what they'll miss most are the people. I know that applies to me as well.

What makes their personal ties so strong among fellow comrades? One factor has to be the mis-sion they share towards public service. Another is probably their staying power. During those long careers, many spend almost as much time with each other as they do with their families.

Those two factors create a deep sense of trust in many of them. And trust is the backbone of any relationship, personal or professional. Strong organizations and good leaders know it's the people that really count. It's the people and the relationships that get the work done. Business is conducted through relationships.

That's a fairly obvious point to most leaders, but it's one worth remembering. A common complaint among employees in many organizations is they don't know what's going on. They lack informa-tion and therefore a lack of communication in the organization.

In the absence of information, they do what anyone would do: They guess. in offices where trust is weak, it's natural for people deprived of information to assume the worst, so they develop distrust of their leaders and spread false rumors. They become less productive, or less interested in their jobs. They check out.

Keeping employees in the know is just one daily relationship responsibility for leaders. The leader must be mindful of how each of their actions af-fects their relationships with employees. Do lead-ers do what they say they're going to do? Do they deal with poor performers? Do they reward and recognize good performance? It is the small, day-to-day things that build trust - or lead to a sense of betrayal among employees.

in offices with trust problems, it's usually the mun-dane issues that weaken employee-manager re-lationships. What's eroding trust are not the big, big things; it's the little things that happen every day. They accumulate.

Good leaders are mindful of a simple fact: They are in relationships with their employees. And relationships require tending. Leaders who fulfill their relationship responsibilities will have more informed, and more productive, employees.

Those who aren't mindful could find themselves stuck in a negative feedback loop, in which a leader's action or inaction leaves employees feel-ing betrayed, so they don't perform well. Or they might even undermine their bosses, making the leader feel betrayed, so he or she withholds in-formation from the employees, who then begin to assume the leadership is working against them.

There are two very important truths around trust. Trust begets trust and betrayals beget betrayals. ♦

With the Word of the Day: PONO, we revisit the words ALOHA and KULEANA through the eyes of Ramsey Taum.

Three words that have special meaning to me are aloha, kuleana and pono. These words serve as touchstones that help guide our behavior individually and collectively.

ALOHA is an overarching principle. Like most Hawaiian words, it has many meanings. It can be a noun, verb, adjective and adverb. It is prescriptive, descriptive and subscript.

Aloha is more than a greeting or salutation. Aloha is a condition, a way of life, a mind set and an attitude. Aloha is an action, not a reaction. It is a natural response of respect, love and reciprocity, and not a contrived series of motions or expressions that have been rehearsed and perfected for a commercial expectation.

Word of the Day:PONO

ramsay taum is the founder and president of the Hawai’i based Life Enhancement Institute (LEI) of the Pacific, LLC. Ramsay also lectures on host cultural values in the workplace at the School of Travel Industry Management (TIM) at the University of Hawai’i where he formerly served as Special Assistant to the Dean on Host Culture and Community Af-fairs. Here, he shares three of his favorite Hawaiian words.

P3

"If each of us lives our lives with aloha and lives up to our kuleana,

things ultimately are pono."– Ramsay Taum

Aloha is to be in the presence of life, to share the essense of one's being with openness, honesty and humility. Aloha is a way of being, a way of behaving, a way of life. It is a commitment to being real. It is a commitment to accepting others and giving dignity to who they are and what they have to offer.

Aloha is not a slogan, pitch line or monogram. It is a spiritual principle that conveys the deepest expression of one's relationship with oneself, the creative and life-giving forces, one's family and community, and with one's friends and strangers.

If aloha is the overarching principle, KULEANA (responsibility) is the key stone that holds that arch in place. Kuleana is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways. To enjoy the rights and privileges some would consider kuleana, we must also live up

Continued on next page...

P4

to the certain responsibilities and obligations, kuleana. To enjoy clean drinking water for example, we must take greater care and responsibility for how we dispose of our waste products, petroleum products and pesticides. In order to draw fresh water from our springs and aquifers, we are obligated to adopt the best management practices that support infiltration, rather than creating impermeable and impervious surfaces that convert rainwater and storm runoff from a resource into a waste product by conveying it directly into storm drains or into the sea.

Kuleana also refers to a particular place,

parcel or piece of property. The individuals living there and responsible for its care and management would then have kuleana rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations related to that property and what it produces.

When we behave and live our lives with aloha and take kuleana, responsibility for our thoughts, words and actions, we begin to create PONO, conditions that are correct, proper and in balance. Pono is integrity. It is the alignment of mind, body and spirit. It is by far one of the most difficult values to live by because it is committing oneself to behaving in ways that may make others uncomfortable

or holds them accountable for their behaviors. Pono is the overall condition when all things are in order and follow a proper rhythm. More importantly, pono is a condition that all things are in their proper place in the grand scheme, despite the fact that at the moment I may be experiencing stress in my life. In a pono condition, that stress is an indicator or trigger that reminds me how I am contributing or not contributing to the system and quality of the condition. Ironically, if each of us lives our lives with aloha and lives up to our kuleana, things ultimately are pono. ♦

ROC OPS Training Course Helps Navy Region Southeast Maintain Strenuous Battle RhythmTuesday, August 3, 2010 • Jacksonville, Florida • CNRse N00-C&s

By Mary Anne Broderick Tubman

Three months after Navy Region Southeast took a pioneering step to sharpen its crisis management skills by hosting the first-ever ROC Training course offered by the Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) Shore Training Center (STC), both new and seasoned NRSE staff members continue to reap the benefits through improvements to readiness and emergency management.

The Shore Training Center is responsible for force protection and emergency management by helping installations prepare for incident response and recovery operations. Designed for Regional Operations Center (ROC) personnel who staff the ROC during crisis situations, the course identifies and reviews the tools and processes to enable them to successfully manage and support the ROC during activation in response to natural or man-made disasters.

For NRSE, the course came just in time to help them brace for the June 1 arrival of hurricane season and the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on

communities that are home to installations in the Florida Panhandle, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

“A combination of training and experience has enabled NRse to operate most efficiently,” said STC Lead ROC Operations/Crisis Action Plan instructor David Bean, a retired Naval officer with both command center and operations experience.

Staff members from every department within NRSE, including operations, plans/intelligence, logistics, and administration and finance participated in the scenario-based training that focuses on operations strategies and skills used in crisis response. Participants were able to share experiences about past hurricane seasons, the ROC’s role in Operation unified Response following the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, and most recently, supporting oil spill response efforts in the Gulf of Mexico (GOMEX).

Security Corner:Foreign Travel Vulnerability

Created by the Defense Security Service (DSS) Counterintelligence Directorate.

foreign travel

Foreign travel increases the risk of foreign intelligence targeting. You can be the target of a foreign intelligence or security service at any time and any place; however, the possibility of becoming the target of foreign intelligence activities is greater when you travel overseas. The foreign intelligence services have better access to you, and their actions are not restricted within their own country borders.

Collection techniques include:

• Bugged hotel rooms or airline cabins

• intercepts of fax and e-mail transmis-sions

• Recording of telephone calls/ conversat-tions

• Unauthorized access and downloading, including outright theft of hardware and software

• Installation of malicious software

• Intrusions or searches of hotel rooms, briefcases, luggage, etc.

• Recruitment or substitution of flight attendants

favorite taCtiCS

Overseas travelers and the information in their possession are most vulnerable during transit.

• Many hotel rooms overseas are under surveillance. In countries with very active intelligence/security services, everything foreign travelers do (including inside the hotel room) may be monitored and recorded.

• entities can analyze their recorded observations for collecting information or exploiting personal vulnerabilities (useful for targeting and possible recruitment approaches).

• A favored tactic for industrial spies is to attend trade shows and conferences. This environment allows them to ask questions, including questions that might seem more suspect in a different environment. One estimate reflected that one in fifty people attending such events were there specifically to gather intelligence.

global economy.

In a world where reliance on technology continues to grow, foreign entities have increased the targeting of electronic devices such as laptops, computers, and personal media such as Personal Digital Assistants and cell phones.

Travelers should report theft, unauthorized or attempted access, damage, and evidence of surreptitious entry of their portable electronics.

These effective countermeasures can decrease or prevent the loss of sensitive information:

• if at all possible, leave unnecessary electronic devices at home.

• use designated "travel laptops" that contain no sensitive information.

• use temporary e-mail addresses not associated with your company.

• Perform a comprehensive anti-virus scan on all electronic devices prior to departure and upon return.

• encrypt data, hard drives, and storage devices whenever possible.

international viSitS

International visits are a common part of everyday business in today's global economy and are a welcome opportunity to boost any business. The Cleared Defense Contractor (CDC) is no exception to this growth in the international market.

We must acknowledge the associated potential counterintelligence vulnerabilities to ensure that the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) are adhered to.

While most visitors are here for legitimate purposes, the sheer volume of visitors makes

it difficult to detect those who come with ulterior motives.

Foreign delegation visits to CDCs are some of the most frequent modus operandi to target the U.S. Defense Industry. For more information on this threat, see the Defense Security Service (DSS) annual publication,

• use complex passwords.

• enable login credentials on laptops and other devices.

ConSCientiouSneSS or CareleSSneSS

Whether the person, the information, or both are traveling overseas, information electronically transmitted over wires or airwaves is vulnerable to foreign intelligence services' interception and exploitation.

Many countries have sophisticated eaves-dropping/intercept technology and are capable of collecting information we want to protect, especially overseas. Numerous foreign intelligence services target telephone and fax transmissions. Suspicious entities can easily intercept voice, fax, cellular, data, and video signals.

It is the conscientiousness or carelessness of the individuals responsible that determines whether or not our sensitive information is protected from unauthorized disclosure.

Bottom line: Be assertive. Be alert. Be aware. Report suspicious activity!

SeCurity CounterMeaSureS

Some common sense security counter-measures should include:

• Do not publicize travel plans and limit sharing of this information to people who need to know.

• Conduct pre-travel security briefings.

• Maintain control of sensitive information and media/equipment. Do not pack these types of articles in checked baggage. Carry them with you at all times. Don't leave them unattended in hotel rooms or stored in hotel safes.

• Keep hotel room doors locked. Note how the room looks when you leave.

• Limit sensitive discussions. Public areas are rarely suitable for discussion of sensitive information.

• Do not use computer or fax equipment at foreign hotels or business centers for sensitive matters.

• ignore or deflect intrusive or suspect inquiries or conversations about professional or personal matters.

• Keep unwanted (no longer needed) sensitive material until it can be disposed of securely.

Security reminder: For all employees with a clearance, when planning travel to a foreign country, please complete the Foreign Travel Notification Form. This form, along with your itinerary, needs to be forwarded to the FSO prior to the travel. When you return to the U.S., you are required to complete the Foreign Travel Debrief Form and submit it to the FSO. The forms (along with a printable brochure for "Foreign Travel Vulnerability") are available for download below. ♦

reSearCh & DeveloPMent

Remember, it is cheaper for any foreign entity to elicit, improperly obtain, or by new technology or the means of reproducing new technology than it is for them to fund initial Research and Development (R&D).

U.S. government and industry expend more funds on R&D than any other country in the world, making U.S. contractors a prime target for foreign collection of both classified and unclassified commercial technology.

When a foreign visit occurs at your facility, awareness is essential to prevention. Watch for any of the following techniques or indicators to help assess the potential for visitor targeting or collection.

teChniQueS• Peppering - Visitors asking the same

question in different styles or one visitor asking the same question to multiple U.S. Contractor employees.

• Wandering Visitor - The visitor uses the distraction provided by a large delegation to slip away, out of the control of the escort.

• Divide and Conquer - Visitors take the U.S. team members into different areas to discuss issues in order to deprive the U.S. person of his safety net of assistance in answering questions.

• switch Visitors - A tool that is sometimes used to add a collector to the group without leaving enough time for a background check on the new visitor.

• Bait and switch - The delegation says they are coming to discuss business that is acceptable for discussion, but after they arrive, their agenda switches to different questions and discussions.

• Distraught Visitor - When the visitor's questions are not answered, he/she acts insulted or creates an uncomfortable scene in an attempt to psychologically coerce information from the target.

tiPS

Any line of questioning concerning military or intelligence based contracts or dual-use technology should be viewed as suspicious behavior.

Even if an appropriate authority grants a foreign visitor access to classified u.s. information, that visitor is NOT entitled to classified information unless they have an expressed "need to know" that has been communicated and verified in advance of the visit.

DSS strongly recommends that you inform your Industrial Security Representative or Field Counterintelligence (CI) Specialist in advance of foreign visits. Given adequate time, DSS can assist with identifying the risk to the CDC, its technology, or its personnel.

viSitor tiPS

Contractor personnel should develop standard acceptable answers to suspicious questions that may be classified, are not acceptable to the country visit, or include proprietary information.• Prior to the visit, brief all personnel working

with the delegation on what they can and cannot discuss.

• if the delegation attempts to make additional contacts with escorts and speakers, make sure they keep discussions to the agreed upon topics and information.

• Conduct a walkthrough of the facility to ensure the visitors will not have audible or visible unauthorized access. Escorts should maintain visual contact with all visitors at all times.

• if these or any other suspicious incidents occur, please ensure that they are reported immediately to your cognizant DSS Industrial Security Representative and/or Field CI Specialist. ♦

What's Happening:Team NHV Fire & Emergency Services

Although off to a slow start this year, due to the delayed Federal Budget and new bid contracting requirements, Team NHV, partnering with Battelle Memorial Institute, was recently awarded a contract to support CNIC Fire & emergency services (F&es). NHV will be providing F&es Program Compliance Assessments (PCA) for Mr. Carl Glover CNIC F&es Program Director. The contract was awarded in late July 2010 and is for a period of one year.

Over the past four years the NHV Assessment team has conducted F&es PCA assessments at most of the Navy Installations. The current contract will take the team to Commander Naval Forces Japan (CNFJ) F&es areas of responsibility for the first time. The CNFJ Assessments will take the team to F&es operations in Yokosuka, Atsugi, Sasebo, Okinawa and Diego Garcia. The team will be making repeat F&es assessments to various

other Navy locations such as Guantanamo Bay, NAS Jacksonville FL, NAS Pensacola FL, NAS Kingsville Texas, Naval Station Norfolk and several other installations.

NHV has also provided proposals to the US Coast Guard Headquarters and met with the Defense Logistics Agency to provide F&es support; however, funding issues continue to preclude any contract award for these services.

The primary NHV F&es Team for the current contract consists of Dave Butler, Bud Williams and Bill Dietz. The team has also used other F&es personnel in the past to support previous F&es contract requirements including James Meagher, Vance Aydlett, CT Campbell, Gene Carmody and Dan Marshall. The primary teams, both current and past, consist primarily of retired Federal Fire Chief’s from diverse backgrounds with extensive expertise in many fire protection and emergency management operations such as structural, aircraft and shipboard fire operations and emergency Medical Services.

CNIC has a very aggressive PCA assessment schedule established with the current contract and the NHV F&es Team is looking forward to meeting the challenges and continuing to provide the CNiC F&es Director with professional, quality, customer satisfaction focused service. ♦

2010 Telluride VeteransSummer Adventure CampNHV played a pivotal role in organizing and hosting the 2010 Telluride Veterans summer Adventure Camp in June. The Telluride Adaptive sports Program (TAsP) is a non-profit geared toward all adaptive activities, both summer and winter. They are funded by grants and several very charitable Telluride residents. For more information about TASP, visit www.tellurideadaptivesports.org.

The planning phase for the 2010 Telluride Veterans Summer Adventure Camp started back in February with NHV reaching out to the Rick Roberts’ Warrior Foundation , Wounded Warrior Project, U.S. Navy, and L’Oreal. In the past, the Veterans camp hosted mostly medically retired warriors, but this year, we made an outreach to both foundations to try and provide a good time to some young active duty warriors. Both Warrior Programs came through. We had 15 combat wounded warriors from Iraq and Afghanistan along with several spouses.

This year’s activities were all fast paced adrenaline filled events. With everyone arriving on Saturday, the real fun didn’t start until Sunday morning (although I hear some

young Marines may have started as soon as they hit the ground Saturday evening). At 5:00 a.m., we met and congregated in a park to the east of Telluride. When the warriors arrived, they were met by happy faces, all with colorful balloons ready to take them flying. While the warriors were in the air, we ran chase in several vehicles. I am not sure who had more fun – the warriors, the balloon pilots, the residents of Telluride, or us in the big chase vehicles

driving through fields. The warriors that slept in (or just getting back to their rooms) soon found out that they had missed some great views of Telluride.

After ballooning, we got together for introductions and a great breakfast before heading off to other activities. If any of the warriors got bored, I would be surprised. During the week, they went four wheeling, rafting (two separate trips), mountain bike riding, rock climbing, fly fishing, golfing, ATV riding, as well as eating several great meals. The week was actually capped off twice. The first time was at a volunteer’s (Retired Navy Seal) home which is right across the street from Tom Cruises’, so needless to say, the

view was great and the home was magnificent. This event was followed by a Wednesday night party at the top of Telluride Ski area. The atmosphere was indescribable – with a slideshow going in the corner and the warriors were spread around the room eating, drinking, laughing and exchanging e-mails and phone numbers – all with the back drop of Telluride in the background.

NHV would like to specifically thank sandy Lehmkuhler, Rick Roberts’ Warrior Foundation, Dawn Halfaker (Wounded Warrior Project), Brian Egging (L’oreal), and Curtis Hughes (United Airlines).

Without these folks, this event would not have been the success it was. L’oreal came through with swag bags (both men and women) and

United Airlines provided discounted airline tickets. This was big because TASP purchased short notice tickets and we were able to work with Curt to actually get United to give back most of the ticket cost. so Ray & Chief, keep flying united Airlines! ♦

Despite the comprehensive nature of the course, its two-team structure made it possible to train ROC personnel from every department of NRSE in one week with minimal impact on the region’s daily operations. Joining Bean were instructors Ron Griffis, whose emergency management experience includes support of operations for Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and scott Taylor of CNIC HQ, who brings additional experience in command center operations to the team.

Both veteran staff members and new personnel have benefitted from the course. “Many of the personnel who now staff the ROC are inexperienced, and the training is helping them develop skill sets needed for readiness,” said Cmdr. Peter Antonacci, NRSE future operations officer.

One of the new members is Capt. James Harlan, commanding officer of the NRse ROC reserve component. Harlan, who returned from an IA assignment in Afghanistan in February, had no

previous exposure to how the ROC is stood up before he attended the ROC operations training.

“This course provided a great overview into how the ROC works with installations and other commands,” Harlan said. “i now have a much better understanding of the reporting relationships and how information is managed.”

The members of the Reserve unit went on to support the Citadel Gale-Hurrex 2010 exercise in May, and the daily monitoring of Naval operations in support of the GOMEX oil spill cleanup. Their training has also left them well-equipped to stand up the ROC in times of crisis, which have to date included Tropical Storms Alex and Bonnie.

“The exercise at the conclusion of the course was particularly helpful as an introduction to the battle rhythm of the ROC,” Harlan added.

Bean believes that the insights gained through the course combined with previous

experiences of NRSE personnel during the course of the training will continue, especially where long-term incidents like GOMEX shift from the response to recovery phases. And as the ROC Operations instructors prepare to deliver the course to personnel at Navy Region Hawaii in August, Bean also envisions that lessons learned during the NRSE training will continue to help them as they develop training modules to other regions.

“There’s no question that regions can learn from each other. Moving forward, we can adapt course materials from regions like Southeast to develop modules for installations in other parts of the world, like Japan,” Bean said. ♦
