Former elementary and middleschool students of a certain age maybe hard-pressed to remember exper-iments as lively and engaging as theones taken on by students of theDahlgren School at a May 3 "STEM-posium." Parents joined students andteachers at the culmination of theweek long event to see the science,technology, engineering and math(STEM) experiments prepared byeach class.

A panel of STEM professionalswith the Naval SurfaceWarfare CenterDahlgren Division (NSWCDD) ad-dressed students in the AdvancementVia Individual Achievement (AVID)program just before parents arrived.Their message to students was sim-ple: understand the process of prob-lem-solving and apply yourself.

Teacher JackieWorthy's 4th grade "mined" forchocolate with two different types of choco-late chip cookies in an exercise that was star-tlingly comprehensive. Students not only hadto calculate the cost of using different tools toextract chocolate, but also had to consider thevalue of the leftover cookie. The more dam-aged the cookie, the greater the cost of envi-ronmental cleanup.

Herring said the STEMposium experi-ments' close resemblance to the real worldwas by design. "The aim of the STEMposiumwas to kick off the use of the engineeringprocess with students, parents and teachersto problem solve by using science, technologyand math," she said.

"In the future, we hope to see currentDahlgren students serving in science andmath fields and seeing the application of sci-ence and math in real world solutions."

Susan Gafford, educational technologistinstructional support specialist for the De-

partment of Defense Education Activity (DO-DEA) for the New York, Virginia and PuertoRico district, applauded the STEMposium."This is my first visit to the Dahlgren Schooland I'm very impressed," she said.

For Gafford, the STEMposium is a smallbut important piece of a bigger picture.

"STEM education is a big push within theDepartment of Defense (DoD) because [mil-itary leaders] know they need people in thefields of science, technology, engineering andmath," she said. "So they've partnered withDODEA to put STEM professionals into eachof our high schools to talk about their fieldsand how education prepared them to take ontheir projects."

Dahlgren, said Gafford, is uniquely quali-fied to undertake such a partnership.

"Dahlgren is the perfect place for this be-cause there are so many STEM professionalshere," she said. "It is a community of engi-neers and scientists and so students here havebeen able to learn from people who knowhow important it is to focus in school."

Across America, grilling seasonhas begun in earnest for friends andfamilies. A different type of family,however, dedicated a very specialgrill at an Apr. 17 cookout at NavalSupport Facility Indian Head'sStump Neck Annex..

Explosive Ordnance Disposal(EOD) Techs from all militarybranches, as well as EOD civilianswho served in Iraq, may recognizethe behemoth custom grill: it servedas a downtime focal point at the"Alamo," part of the compound thathoused Joint Task Force Troy inBaghdad.

There, the first-ever CombinedExplosives Exploitation Cell (CEXC,pronounced 'sexy') assembled in-telligence specialists and explosiveexperts in 2003 to combat the dead-ly threat posed by improvised ex-plosive devices (IEDs). Members ofJoint Special Operations Command(JSOC), the Technical Support De-tachment of the Naval EOD Tech-nology Division (NAVEODTECH-DIV) at Stump Neck Annex, law en-forcement and international alliescombined efforts to share knowl-edge about IEDs and minimize thedamage they cause.

Volumes could be written aboutthat effort, but reminiscing aboutthe war's big details was not themain reason personnel associatedwith CEXC met on the shores of thePotomac River. They met to sharememories about one of the war'sfew pleasures.

Master Chief Logistics SpecialistSol Costin and Logistics Specialist1st Class Jarriel Gardner receivedthe grill from Iraq in March. The ca-maraderie of hanging out with like-minded friends around a fire andenjoying grilled burgers is as invit-ing in Maryland as it is in Baghdad,after all. EOD Techs and supportpersonnel marveled at the grill's re-furbishment, a sanding and re-

painting job performed by Costin.There are Army markings on the

exceptionally heavy grill, which wasfabricated out of an air compressortank. Chimneys welded onto thetop of the grill look like they camefrom five-ton trucks. A Stump Neck-based Navy contractor said he wasat the Alamo when a machine shopfor armored vehicles added a thicksteel smoker box. The armoredpedigree shows: the grill appearedto be literally bulletproof, even if itsjourney into Navy possession is notexactly clear.

"Somebody put some work intoit," said Cmdr. Paco Porter, officer-in-charge of the Technical SupportDetachment. "If it could talk, itcould tell some stories."

The aforementioned contractor,who asked to be called only by hisfirst name, spent six years in Iraq. "Itwas great as long as the food wasgood," said Robert, who remem-bered the many holiday mealscooked on the grill. "It kept moraleup. It made you feel like you were insomeone's back yard."

The grill was more than a spot to

unwind in Baghdad; it also servedas the setting of informal meetingsbetween EOD leaders and theirpeers and allies. Another contractorlaughed when he remembered ac-quiring a box of steaks in anticipa-tion of a big meeting. By the timethe meeting occurred, the steakshad disappeared. As always, owner-ship in a war zone is a fickle thing.

Master Sgt.Will Cameron, an AirForce EOD Tech, remembered thespirit of the Alamo. "We'd grab as

much food as we could and cook it,"he said. "The grill is pretty neat be-cause of its history."

Costin provided the burgers forgrill's first CONUS get-together andexplained the grill's significance. AllEOD Techs received training at theAlamo when they arrived in-coun-try.

"Every EOD Tech who served inIraq ate off this grill," he said. "Someof them did not come back."

The grill that served EOD Techs at the Alamo in Baghdadwas constructed from an air compressor tank, with Armymarkings from the 1st Infantry Division and the 2/8 Cavalry.

A brass plaque on the grill's heavy steel door denotes itssignificance to the service members, civilian employeesand contractors who supported the Combined ExplosivesExploitation Cell (CEXC) mission in Iraq.

The Aegis Training andReadiness Center's (ATRC)Coalition of Sailors Against De-structive Decisions (CSADD)observed Sexual AssaultAwareness Month by havingan art competition for Sailorsto promote sexual awarenessthrough the expression of art.The winners were announcedat the ATRC's awards ceremo-ny in the Arleigh Burke Audito-rium April 27.

Teams of Sailors, not to ex-ceed three, or individualSailors were highly encour-aged to partake in the art con-test. The art could be in what-ever form the Sailor or Sailorsfound value in but in goodtaste. Submissions consistedof drawings, posters, and evenpoetry.

Fire Controlman 3rd ClassErica Placeres and Fire Con-trolman 3rd Class SamanthaWolfe, SPY students, won 1st

place with their poster thatconveyed the inability of vic-tims to speak out due to thestigma associated with sexualassault.

"The only way to have vic-tims feel comfortable in step-ping forward is to raise aware-ness of the support that theNavy offers to those who are inneed," explained Placeres."The photos are of Sailors fromthis command to highlightthat anyone can be a victimand that it is all of our duties toface this issue head on."

Fire Controlman 3rd ClassMeagan Hicks, also a SPY stu-dent, won second place withher drawing titled 'Raise YourVoice' that emphasized theimportance of being an activebystander.

"I attended a sexual assaultpresentation at Central Michi-gan University entitled 'No Ze-bras, No Excuses' when I was

stationed at Great Lakes,"Hicks said. "When a zebra isattacked by a lion, the other ze-bras will watch and not inter-vene. My interpretation wasthat we cannot be zebras. Weneed to intervene and raise ourvoice not just in April, butthroughout the year."

ATRC's tactical mainte-nance staff member, Fire Con-trolman 3rd Class JonathanWalters, won third place withhis creativeness. Walters wrotea poem titled "Silently Wait-ing" that expressed the silenceof a victim and how that im-pacts the life of the victim.

"I wrote this poem to bringawareness on how sexual as-sault affects the victim," ex-plained Walters. "The victimhas to live with this for the restof his or her life...they will nev-er forget."

Fire Controlman 1st ClassEarl Ashley, a work center su-

pervisor for ATRC's trainingsupport directorate and cur-rently ATRC's Support Personof the Quarter, was the contestcoordinator.

"ATRC's CSADD wanted toprovide Sailors an opportunityto express their thoughts aboutsexual assault through a cre-ative outlet rather than thestandard power point presen-tation," Ashley said. "Our win-ning submissions clearly illus-trate how sexual assault im-pacts all."

ATRC's CSADD was estab-lished in March 2011 and oneof the main goals of this organ-ization is prevention. They de-sire to prevent destructive be-havior from occurring and oneway is through awareness.

Dahlgren Training Center promotesSexual Assault Awareness

Working with some "very nice" mission-aries, Hall worked to ensure victims re-ceived clothes. "I volunteered with myniece and her three little boys," she said."We sorted through thousands of boxesof clothes and separated them by sizes.As [tornado victims] came to pick themup, we made sure they were on the list."

Because the three boys relished thework so much, Hall declined an opportu-nity to rotate to another volunteer task,one which would have kept her out of theelements. "We spent three days sortingout clothes in 100-degree weather," saidHall, who grinned at the memory.

Hall's volunteer effort came as no sur-prise to COGAR's senior supervisor at

Aegis BMD. "That's just the way she is,"said Terry Lanham.

Lanham had high praise for Hall'squalities on-the-job, too.

"Pam sets the standard," she said."Her customer service skills set her apartfrom the rest. Customers and visitors loveher. She's always got that smile. It's whatshe brings to work with her every day. It'sthe first thing our customers see whenthey come in morning and the last thingthey see when they leave in the evening."

Lanham was very happy Hall was rec-ognized for all she contributes. "Pam def-initely deserves to be the Officer of theYear," said Lanham. "She goes above andbeyond and is 100-percent dedicated to[COGAR] and [MDA]. You can't turn heroff."

For the third consecu-tive year, New Jersey's StateIndustrial Safety Commit-tee recognized Naval Sur-face Warfare Center, IndianHead Division's (NSWCIHD) Packaging, Handling,Shipping and Transporta-tion (PHS&T) Division formaintaining an injury freeworkplace during 2011 atthe annual Governor's Oc-cupational Safety andHealth Awards dinner onMay 2.

This year the PHS&T Di-vision earned the State ofNew Jersey's Department ofLabor and Workforce Devel-opment Safety Achieve-ment Award by maintaininga workplace free from losttime for work-related in-juries or illnesses for threestraight years. PHS&Tearned the Division of Pub-lic Safety and OccupationalSafety and Health Award for

2010 following its Citationof Merit Award for 2009.

Located at NSWC IHD'sPicatinny, N.J., Detach-ment, the PHS&T Divisionrelocated to Picatinny Arse-nal from the Naval WeaponsStation in Earle, N.J., duringthe Department of De-fense's 2005 Base Realign-ment and Closure (BRAC)process last year.

According to KenZimms, PHS&T Division Di-rector, moving from Earle toPicatinny involved newsafety risks that supervisorsneeded to monitor.

"BRAC was a very bigchallenge as people did takeit upon themselves to movethings," Zimms said. "Westopped a few people fromtrying to move heavy thingslike computer towers andboxes of books. We alsohired a lot of young peoplewho are more willing to do

things themselves and notfully assess the risks in-volved."

Zimms also said man-agers and supervisors con-tinually stress safetythroughout PHS&T whetherit's ensuring people alwaysdon the proper safety gear,developing good operatingprocedures or maintaininggood housekeeping.

That adherence to high-er safety standards is aprominent theme through-out NSWC IHD. At the mainsite on Naval Support Facil-ity Indian Head, Md., thecommand went throughthe final phase of its appli-cation for the OccupationalSafety and Health Adminis-tration's Voluntary Protec-tion Program (VPP) in Feb-ruary 2012.

Ray Geckle, NSWCIHD's Safety Director, saidmanagers play an integral

role in safety promotionwithin the command.

"Having organizationalleaders who take the time torecognize their employees'safety accomplishmentsgoes to the core of our VPPmessage," Geckle said."This type of employeerecognition engages ouremployees and helps alignthem with our safety goals,while we meet and exceedbusiness objectives."

As the largest Depart-ment of Defense full-spec-trum energetics facility,NSWC Indian Head Divi-sion is one of 10 Naval SeaSystems Command WarfareCenter Divisions. IndianHead's mission is to re-search, develop, test, evalu-ate and produce energeticsand energetic systems forfighting forces around theglobe.
