Salena Thomas had nodoubts about life as a militaryspouse when she married herhusband, Tim, now a majorin the U.S. Air Force assignedto the CAD/PAD Joint Pro-gram Office at Naval SupportFacility (NSF) Indian Head.The Cleveland, North Caroli-na-native met Tim while thetwo were college students atBrigham Young University.“Actually, I was looking for-ward to it,” she said with agrin. “It was one of the perksof marrying Tim.”

Nineteen years later,Thomas is a mother of sixand has enjoyed nearly everyaspect of military life. “It’sbeen the best,” said Thomas.“I love the military. I love theopportunities that are givento us. We really have beenable to travel the world and

we’ve met so many wonder-ful people. Every place yougo, you learn something newand you build upon every-thing you’ve learned: yourpersonality grows and yourcharacter grows and youmake connections all overthe place. It’s been a reallygood experience for us.”

Tim will retire in Januaryand change is on the hori-zon for the family. “We don’tknow where we’re going,”said Thomas. “We’re lookingfor the job and that will deter-mine where we live.”

Looking back on her yearsas a military spouse, Thomascan certainly draw strengthfrom her experiences. Whilethe vast majority of those ex-periences are good, hardshipis not a matter of if for mili-tary souses, but when. ForThomas, that time came in2010 shortly after she arrivedin Indian Head. Tim was de-

ployed for many months andThomas had to manage amove. To add insult to injury,the region also happened tobe the grip of the heaviestsnowfall in recent memory.“His last deployment he wasgone 15 months,” said Thom-as. “It was hard because I hadthe six kids and they’re ac-

tive. And we had a move. wemoved on base while he wasgone. I couldn’t have doneit without my church. It wasvery, very busy. those werethe hard times for me.”

Still, the benefits of beinga military spouse have out-weighed the hard times forThomas. “When you’re feed-

ing eight people, I could hy-perventilate when I walk intoFood Lion,” she said with alaugh. “The commissary Ilike. The opportunities thebase provides through MRW..we take full advantage of ev-erything.”

Thomas and her fam-ily have been to all kinds ofbases but she especially en-joys the small-town feel ofIndian Head. “I really like liv-ing on base in Indian Head,”she said. “It’s real small andI feel very comfortable withmy kids walking to the li-brary, the movie theater, thebowling alley, the river orwhatever they want to do. It’sbeen good for my childrento have the freedom and thesecurity.”

While Thomas is verymuch focused on raising herchildren, she gives much ofher free time to volunteeractivities. Thomas was ac-

Green technologies andactivities were center stageat a celebration of Earth Dayat the parade field at NavalSupport Facility (NSF) Dahl-gren. The displays covered avariety of topics, from greenlighting options, to invasiveplants, to the joys of garden-ing.

With budgetary pressureson the minds of many Navyemployees, many greentechnologies hold the prom-ise of reducing energy costs.“Investing in green technol-ogy saves the Navy moneyin a couple ways,” said JeffCreasy, installation energymanager at Dahlgren. “Firstoff the new technology inenergy efficient products to-day-whether it be new light-ing, HVAC equipment, orlighting sensors-have prov-en to save tremendously inenergy consumption. Thelarger the project, the larg-er the savings are in manycases. New energy savingequipment will also reducethe maintenance costs as-sociated with older wornequipment.”

Some large-scale greentechnologies, such as geo-thermal heating and cool-ing, offer savings only aftera substantial up-front in-vestment. But several small-scale green solutions require

minimal investments andtake advantage of existinginfrastructure.

Jon Kalb, representativeof green-lighting companyAlways Earth Friendly, ex-plained some of the prod-ucts available that can helporganizations transitionto efficient T5 fluorescentbulbs. The upgrades, saidKalb, not only make thegreen lighting more reliable,but take advantage of older,existing light fixtures. “Weused to energize [tradition-al] lamp-holders and therewas some wiring under-neath the ballast cover. wirenuts that could sometimesbe lose and make a bad con-nection,” he said. “The newplug-and-play feature wiresdirectly to the line voltagecoming into the fixture.”

The feature resembles acommon USB connectionmore than it does tradi-tional electric wiring. Alongwith adapters, the companyproduces clips and reflec-tors designed to improve thelighting and energy savingsof existing light fixtures.

While most Navy em-ployees are not in a posi-tion to make changes to thelighting in their workspace,Creasy noted that there aremany ways employees canhelp the Navy meet its en-ergy conservation goals.“Every building has a Build-ing Energy Monitor (BEM),”said Creasy. “Employees

should know who the BEM isand report energy related is-sues, such as leaking or bro-ken windows and doors, orlights that burn during theday when they should be off,to the BEM. Make sugges-tions to the BEM or facilitymanager for lighting sensorswhere appropriate.”

In the age of austerity,saving energy means savingmoney, and saving moneymeans greater job security.Small, basic acts of energyconservation by Navy em-ployees can lead to big sav-ings. “Power down work sta-tions when not in use andensure lights are turned off

at the end of the work day,”said Creasy. “Talk about en-ergy awareness to other em-ployees and create an atmo-sphere of energy awarenessin the workplace.”

Of course, Earth Day isalso about enjoying the nat-ural world. Thomas “Doc”Wray, natural resources

manager for NSF Dahlgren,provided a display of animalartifacts and as always, itwas a big hit with the chil-dren.

The Naval Surface War-fare Center Dahlgren Divi-sion (NSWC DD) Environ-mental Office contributedan interesting display about14 invasive plant speciescommon in the region. Alsoon display was a list of greenphone apps that can helpusers with recycling duties,driving efficiently and eat-ing local.

The Northern Neck Mas-ter Gardeners provided in-formation about all mannerof gardening issues, from lo-cal pests and diseases, to thehardiest ornamental plantvarieties for the region.

For those seeking a frontrow seat to the great out-doors, MWR provided a dis-play of camping gear avail-able for rent. Items availableinclude tents, a campingtrailer, canoes, kayaks, fish-ing poles, lanterns, campfurniture, stoves, bicycles,games and more. Addition-ally, patrons can rent a johnboat to go fishing at HiddenPond. Gear rental is avail-able for service members,dependents, civilian em-ployees and their guests.

“We have about 85 volun-teers between [Dahlgren andIndian Head],” added Capt.Pete Nette, commanding of-ficer of NSASP. “They coverall Fleet and Family Readi-ness Programs-our residentadvisors, our Retired Activi-ties Office, the [VoluntaryIncome Tax Assistance]program, [Sexual AssaultPrevention and Response]Advocates, [Morale Welfareand Recreation] and Childand Youth Services. Theseare great services. And Iknow these Sailors and civil-ians volunteered, often afterwork, to do it. I really appre-ciate it.”

Tom Kubalewski, pro-gram director of Fleet andFamily Readiness Branch,praised all of the volunteersand thanked them for theirinvaluable service. “Each ofyou have your own reasonsfor providing our commu-nity with countless hours oftime,” he said. “For that, wecan have these types of cel-ebrations to publically ap-preciate you for your efforts.

But what we really want tosay is thank you, thank you,thank you.”
