Naval Support Activity South Po-tomac (NSASP) police officers offereda special training session Apr. 14 tocadets from the Pentagon Division ofthe U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps(NSCC) and Navy League CadetCorps (NLCC) onboard Naval Sup-port Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. Thegroup included 30 young people age10 to 18, and even before the trainingsession ended, the cadets announcedthe law enforcement training consti-tuted the "best drill weekend ever."

The cadets' day began bright andearly with a 0530 wakeup and a colorsceremony at the Aegis Training andReadiness Center (ATRC) at 0800.From there, the cadets marched tothe base's JD's Conference Center,where they met NSASP police officers.After an introduction and safety brief,NSASP police chief Robert Brooksstarted the training session with anexercise that became very familiarwith the cadets over the course of theday: push-ups, and lots of them.

If cadets did not keep count prop-erly, the group did more push-ups.When one of the cadets' two squadsdid something better than the other,more push-ups were requested. "Itpays to be a winner," Brooks told thecadets.

But the rewards of victory wereshort-lived for the winning squad:when the losing squad assumed thepush-up position, Brooks asked thewinners if they were not on the sameteam as the losers.

The message was quickly under-stood and the winning squad did thepush-ups alongside the losing

squad." [The cadets] have to work asa team or they'll fail," said Brooks."One of the reasons we do so manypush-ups is not as punishment, butto reinforce the idea of the team con-cept. No pack is stronger than itsweakest wolf; no wolf is stronger thanthe pack. If you could summarize thetheme of the training today, it's team-work."

Virtual marksmanship trainingParents of middle and high

school-aged kids may have been sur-prised to see the young cadets notonly embrace such training, but alsohave a great time doing it. "The [po-lice officers] were really nice," saidElizabeth Hayes, Sea Cadet and lead-

Electromagnetic railguns. How are they de-signed and built? How do they work? Can you ex-plain the science and physics behind this technol-ogy?

Since 2004, producers, journalists, and top levelmilitary officials travelled to Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), asking thescientists and engineers who test the Office of NavalResearch (ONR)-sponsored electromagnetic rail-gun for the answers.

Now, a group of aspiring experts - Common-wealth Governor's School students - can draw fromtheir own experience to answer the toughest rail-gun questions.

More than 100 students arrived at the NSWCDDElectromagnetic Facility on April 18 with an educa-tion in physics covering electrical circuits, capaci-tance, resistance, magnetic fields, forces on parti-cles in magnetic fields, kinematics in one dimen-sion, projectile motion, Newton's laws, work andenergy, and the ability to solve equations with alge-braic expressions.

Before leaving, they used their knowledge ofphysics to design and build their own miniatureelectromagnetic railguns under the guidance ofNSWCDD railgun engineers.

"They were briefed by engineers about how rail-gun works and we made it exciting for them," saidTom Boucher, NSWCDD Electromagnetic RailgunTest Director. "Students who expressed an interestin working at Dahlgren in the future were glad to

ing petty officer (LPO) for the Pen-tagon Division. "Normally, peopleare either too harsh or too easy withyounger people, but they treated usjust right."

Of course, having an idea abouthow cool the rest of the training daywould be may have added to thecadets' incentive to perform. Afterthe physical training (PT) session,cadets learned safe and properweapons handling with simulatedfirearms before putting those skillsto use inside NSASP's law enforce-ment training facility and virtualtraining simulator. An excited gaspcame over the young people whenthe latter was described to them asa really "big video game."

At the simulator, the cadetspracticed their marksmanship andform under the watchful eyes ofSenior Chief Master at Arms ChrisMerz, assistant chief of NSASP po-lice, and Sgt. Steve Mullen.

Mullen was impressed by thesmallest shooter at the PentagonDivision, 10-year old HayleighMellinger. The young NLCC cadettook out nine simulated targets inseven and a half seconds with nomisses. "I guess big things do comein small packages," Mullen told avery proud Mellinger.

An older cadet, Caleb Bunde,impressed the police officers withhis speedy and accurate shooting."You can tell he's been trained andtrained correctly," said Mullen.Bunde let everyone in on the secret:his father is a retired Navy ExplosiveOrdnance Disposal (EOD) tech whocompetes in United States PracticalShooting Association (US PSA) andInternational Defensive Pistol Asso-ciation (IDPA) matches. Theyounger Bunde had clearly ab-sorbed much of his father's knowl-edge.

"Video games" were only onepart of the law enforcement train-ing, however. Pentagon Divisionlearned basic room clearing and en-try techniques inside Building 217,

where they practically fell overthemselves to get a chance to swingthe battering ram.

Learning about several night vi-sion devices and how they help po-lice officers navigate the darknesswas another big hit with the cadets."I did like the night vision," saidHayes. "I thought that was cool. Itwas a little difficult to navigate but itwasn't that bad."

Hayes has participated in the

Sea Cadets for four years and hopesto eventually join the Navy. "I wantto do an ROTC program when I'min college or Annapolis, if I can getin," she said.

Hands-on lookat law enforcement

The NSASP police officers werehappy to provide the hands-on lookat their lifestyle. "We like to, as a po-

lice department, train with all levelsof the naval services, whetherthey're cadets or military [servicemembers] or fellow police officers,"said Brooks.

"This is a great opportunity, espe-cially with these young people, to in-troduce them to some of the basictactical stuff that they may learn lateron in their careers if they go into lawenforcement or into the military."

Brooks and Mullen both empha-sized how impressed they were withthe young men and women of thePentagon Division. "They are a verydisciplined group of kids," saidBrooks. "The ages range from 10 to18, but you don't see the typicalwandering attention spans.

"The kids were very focused andI'm very impressed with that. I thinkthey've done a great job with theirattitudes and the learning curve, forthat matter, was that of police offi-cers I've taught at the academy."

"Watching these young peoplelearn... it's awesome," addedMullen. "I was really impressed withtheir capability to learn and applythe knowledge immediately. Andthey don't have any bad habits or

preconceived notions.They listenedand they did great. I see potential inquite a few of them."

Corporals Randy Brown andBryan Mason assisted Brooks, Merzand Mullen for the Sea Cadets'training. Pentagon Division execu-tive officer, Ensign Teresa Crater,said the training made a very posi-tive impact on the cadets.

"It's pretty special," she said."There are a lot of things they haveto do with paperwork and course-work and those are kind of boring.This is one of the [drill weekends]that's action-packed and they loveit.They were up this morning at 5:30and they were waiting to go."

Crater thanked the officers fortheir service and for the training."This could not be possible withoutthem," said Crater. "They're givingup their time and their weekend tohelp these kids out... we can't thankthem enough. It wouldn't happenwithout them.They have the knowl-edge, the skills necessary and theymade a difference in 30 cadets'lives."

Sailors from the AegisTraining and Readiness Cen-ter volunteered at Mary'sShelter in Fredericksburg,Va.on Saturday, Apr. 14.

Kathleen Wilson, MaryShelter's Director, was verygrateful for ATRC's time andefforts. In a letter to ATRC,Wilson wrote "For one of theonly times in my life I am at abit of a loss for words. Whenyou said you were bringing aservice group, I never expect-ed to see so many peopleshow up."

Mary's Shelter is a local,community, nonprofit or-ganization that provideshousing and support to

women and their children intime of need. Thirty ATRCSailors understood the im-portance of this organizationand desired to help makethese families feel at home.

"My plan was to get a ceil-ing painted, a dining roomprimed and a kitchen paint-ed," Wilson explained in herletter. "That was completed.In addition to the diningroom being primed, it wasalso beautifully painted. Tworooms and two ceilings in an-other one of our homes waspainted.A garden was put inthe front yard along withclean up of the property andmuch needed weeding. Inaddition, an eyesore of ashed, in need of much repairwas fixed and a new roof puton top. Shelves were in-

stalled inside the shed aswell. People who werescheduled to stay until 12p.m. stayed to complete workuntil at least 3 p.m."

ATRC Sailors not only vol-unteered their time but alsomade a positive impact onthe mothers and children ofMary's Shelter.

Wilson concluded her let-ter by writing, "On behalf ofall the moms, children, staffand directors at Mary's Shel-ter, I thank you so very much.You have been a great bless-ing to all."

ATRC is committed in2012 in participating in vol-unteer events in the spirit ofstrengthening communityties while raising the socialawareness of tomorrow'sFleet Sailors.

Having already completed twelve othermarathons in as many years before running inApril's Boston Marathon, you might think thatAir Force Maj.Theodore J. Rieth would find thechallenge routine. After all, except for thescenery, all marathons are the same distance- 26.2 miles or 42,000 meters or about the dis-tance from Fredericksburg to Dahlgren. Yet,for Rieth, Boston was anything but routine.

"Boston was my favorite so far," said Rieth,"The history and tradition of the race are sec-ond to none. I've followed the race for manyyears and finally being able to be a part of thehistory felt awesome."

"The best part was the excellent spectatorsupport and experiencing all of the sightsalong the course first hand, such as runningby Wellesley College, Boston College, and upHeartbreak Hill," Rieth said. "The toughestpart was the fairly challenging course and thewarm temperatures."

Rieth finished the race in three hours, 48minutes, and eleven seconds. That comparesto his qualifying time of 3:13:29 at RehobothBeach, Del. in December 2010, his best timefor a marathon to date. His time was slowerthan normal, he said, because temperaturesthe day of the race were 30 to 40 degrees high-er than normal, a factor that may have con-tributed to a few thousand runners simply notshowing up at all and others dropping out be-fore finishing.

"I actually didn't feel too well immediatelyafter the race," Rieth said, although he neverconsidered dropping out at any point. "For thefirst time ever, I ended up getting a bag of IVfluid in the medical tent due to dehydration.After that, I felt much better." Otherwise, theonly after effects were muscle soreness andsunburn, he said. He returned to work at the

on waste, but also gives seedlings a steady supply of water.White cut a standard plastic soda bottle in half at its middle,inverted the top of the bottle and drops it into the bottom ofthe bottle. A cloth wicks water from the bottom of the bottle,which serves as a water reservoir, through the top of the bottle,which hold the soil and seedling.

Joe Trocchio, hazardous waste media manager, manned abooth dedicated to the "life" of trash. Of course, most con-sumers forget about garbage as soon as it's loaded into thetruck. For the ecologically-minded, however, such waste is abig concern in a region where landfills are an important partof the economy.Technology such as geo-fabrics, liners and syn-thetic grass offer landfills a way to function with less soil andclay, while keeping up a neat, low-maintenance appearance.

"The biggest thing with landfills nowadays is their volume,"said Trocchio. "If they can minimize their use of liner materi-als, they maximize the actual waste they can put in. The newmaterials are also more reliable. The [liners and geo-fabrics]are not going fill-in with material and clog."

While allowing landfills to take in more waste might notsound like a very green idea, the materials represent the kindof environmental technology that is catching on, since it helpsthe landfill increase its business while offering greater envi-ronmental protection. "If any of these liners fail, something

from the landfill can eventually work its way into the groundwater," said Trocchio.

Trocchio saw an intersection between the Navy's twingoals of controlling costs while minimizing environmentalfootprints. "Recycling offers cost-savings and the ability to re-capture some of the capital we use in something like metals,"said he. "There's no need to throw that stuff out and pay to

have someone haul it away; there's a market for that now."Overall, Trocchio said he liked the green mindedness he's

observed in his one year working for the Navy and noted howmilitary organization can lead to change. "The objectives andgoals that the Navy tries to meet helps," he said. "With citizens,it depends on each household. Whereas with [the Navy], thereis a more collective attitude."

Whether or not the biggest display at the Earth Day cele-bration changed attitudes is unclear, but NAVFACWASH's newChevy Volt certainly turned heads. The electric hybrid is oneof twoVolts that now reside onboard NSF Indian Head, wherethey offer quick, reliable rides around base.The vehicle can gobetween 25 and 50 miles in all electric mode and takes four to10 hours to charge, for 220V and 110V sources respectively.Themaximum range on a tank of gas and a full charge is roughly375 miles.

"Depending on your lifestyle and situation, it can be a greatcar," mused Amanda Stella, a water media manager for NAV-FACWASH assigned to Dahlgren. Stella did not get to drive theVolt far, but did take notes on her quick spin from PublicWorksto the parade field. "It's a very smooth ride.Transportation dida great job preparing it for us."

While this particular Volt had only about 1,700 on theodometer, NAVFACWASH officials estimate their Volts willspare 29,000 gallons of gas, 260 tons of carbon emissions and$109,000 for taxpayers per year.

Dahlgren School Honor Roll


Dahlgren School students (pictured left to right) Dominic Schools, JennyLuna, Shuma Grisham, Allison Wisslead, Connor Rauch recently receivedawards for their PTO Anti-Bullying Art Posters. Tiger Awards were alsoawarded to Madison Carlile, Ella Rossetti, Joseph McIntyre, Cailin Bertu-lano, Emma Reyes, and Geoffrey Geoghegan (not pictured) for their hardwork in the class room, care for classmates and overall attitude.

Chances are if you own a car, it needssome work. Results of community car careevents held throughout the country in 2011show that many consumers are neglectingtheir cars, with more than eight out of 10 ve-hicles failing at least one component of thevehicle inspection process. National CarCare Month is the perfect time to focus onyour vehicle's maintenance needs.

To help motorists "be car care aware,"the non-profit Car Care Council has intro-duced a new online service schedule, free toall motorists throughout the country. Thepersonalized schedule and e-mail reminderservice, powered by DriverSide.com, can becustomized by motorists at the council'snewly-introduced website,www.carcare.org. Whether you do it yourselfor take your car to a professional service

technician, following a preventative main-tenance schedule will help keep your vehiclesafe, dependable and on the road longer.And our new system will give you the re-minders that you need to stay on top of thismaintenance.

To help consumers become more com-fortable with the auto service and repairprocess, the Car Care Council also recentlyintroduced a new video entitled "Auto Serv-ice and Repair: What to Expect" that pro-vides a wealth of information on such topicsas finding the right auto repair facility, whatto expect at the shop and what questions toask. The video also covers the real truthabout consumer rights and the manufactur-er's warranty.

hear about student programs offering opportunities to comehere during the summer."

Boucher's tour immersed students in two intense hours ofacademic and practical railgun education featuring six sta-tions called, "see the railgun (in slow motion); shoot a railgun;build a railgun; instrument a railgun; touch a railgun; andpower a railgun."

Each student demonstrated electromagnetic principles bybuilding their own railgun, said Boucher.

Then the high school students - from King George, Spot-sylvania and Stafford Counties - learned how to measure theimpact of their mini-railguns.

In the "instrument a railgun" station, they used the elec-tronic instrumentation used for rail gun testing - high speedvideo and accelerometers - to measure the velocity of an ob-ject in flight and calculate the object's kinetic energy.

"They measured velocities of paintballs and compared itto railgun velocities," said Boucher. "They also shrunk alu-

minum cans by generating a magnetic field from capacitorssimilar to what we charge for the Navy railgun."

"The Dahlgren scientists and engineers have done a reallygood job in terms of matching up the actual equations and theacademic content the students are learning," said Common-wealth Governor's School teacher Kevin Bywaters. "Academ-ically, this event gives our students a chance to see there'smore to science than just worksheets and lab gear - there arereal things being developed."

That includes the Navy's first industry-built electromag-netic railgun prototype launcher.

The students from Commonwealth Governor's School sawand touched the railgun first tested at Dahlgren Feb. 28, 2012.The firing on that date kicked off a two-month long test seriesby ONR to evaluate the first of two industry-built launchers.The tests will bring the Navy closer to a new naval gun systemcapable of extended ranges against surface, air and groundtargets.

"The big thing from my perspective is that our studentssaw some of the cutting edge technology being developed

right in their backyard," said Bywaters. "This is home to themand a lot of the engineers talking to us are from this area. Thisis really cool stuff that nobody else in the world is doing. It'shappening here and they don't have to go somewhere else tofind high tech jobs - they can do it right here."

When fully developed, the electromagnetic railgun will giveSailors a dramatically increased multi-mission capability. Its in-creased velocity and extended range over traditional shipboardweapons will allow them to conduct precise, long-range navalsurface fire support for land strikes; ship self-defense againstcruise and ballistic missiles; and surface warfare to deter enemyvessels. The Navy's near-term goal is a 20 to 32-megajouleweapon that shoots a distance of 50 to 100 nautical miles.

NSWCDD scientists and engineers share technology by par-ticipating in science, technology, engineering, and mathematicsactivities and other programs that promote the youth of ourcommunity to pursue careers in technical disciplines Throughthese programs and educational partnerships with localschools, NSWCDD actively seeks opportunities to give areayouths a panorama of the world of science and engineering.

NSWC Dahlgren's broad spectrum of unique resources, in-cluding workforce, infrastructure, and relationships with in-dustry, have made it a premier naval scientific and engineeringinstitution dedicated to solving a diverse set of complex tech-nical problems confronting the warfighter, whether on land,in the air, on the sea or in space.

Commonwealth Governor's School is a regional programfor gifted students who apply for admission. It's a half day pro-gram where students take core subjects - math, English, sci-ence and social studies - and develop technology skills for ef-fective communication, investigation, and presentation.Community partnerships provide year-round, as well as serv-ice-learning, opportunities.

Students: More to science than just worksheets and lab gearContinued from page 1

Joint Warfare Analysis Center(JWAC) the next day.

Begun in 1897 followingthe first modern Olympics,the Boston Marathon is theworld's oldest annualmarathon. It averages 20,000runners a year with nearly27,000 runners signed up thisyear alone and more than500,000 spectators along thecourse.

"While Boston attracts alarge field of runners, it wasfun and exciting to partici-pate with so many peoplethat enjoy running as muchas I do," Rieth said. "The at-mosphere was mutually sup-portive one since nearly all ofthe runners need to meetqualification standards to en-ter. They all know the work ittook even to get into theevent."

To qualify for the BostonMarathon, for example, run-ners must first meet stan-dards based on gender andage. For the 41-year-old Ri-eth, that meant running an-other marathon in less thanthree hours and 20 minutes.Other entries are reserved forrace sponsors and charityrunners where no qualifica-tion standard is required.

Also, with such a largefield of runners, it is impossi-ble for everyone to cross thestart line together. Runnersare seeded in groups, whichare divided into waves andcorrals, Rieth said. Rieth wasin the first wave of three.

With 7,000 people in frontof him, it took more than tenminutes after the start of therace for Rieth just to reach thestart line. He estimates that it

took another eight or nineminutes after that to breakfree of the pack after the firstmile and find his own pace.Once he hit his stride though,he maintained an 8:43minute-a-mile pace the restof the course.

When not in training for arace, Rieth averages about 25to 35 miles a week, increasinghis mileage by 5 to 20 miles aweek when preparing for amarathon, all of which helpshim stay a spare 140 pounds.He begins training for amarathon about threemonths in advance. Rieth canbe seen running around theDahlgren base most weekdaymornings when most em-ployees are just arriving towork.

Rieth joined the Air Forcein 1988 and started workingat JWAC in 2010 where heheads the command's hu-man resource division. Origi-nally from Towanda, Penn.,he is married with two chil-dren and lives in King George,Va.

Rieth started running reg-ularly in 2001 and participat-ed in his first marathon a yearlater. He sees running as anextension of the military cul-ture, which instills physicalfitness in its members, and heenjoys the simplicity of thesport - the runner, somemodest equipment, the roador trail, and the clock. "It'shard to find another exercisethat provides the bang forbuck that running does," hesaid.

Rieth is already makingplans to compete in his nextmarathon in San Antonio,Tex. this November. As for re-turning to Boston, "If I qualifyagain, I'd like to go back in afew years," Rieth said.
