More than 400 employees and dependents participated in the program, which featured 19 separate demonstrations, tours and hands-on projects sponsored by five supported com- mands and tenant activities on the installation.While the children were the center of attention, the kids' en- thusiasm was nearly matched by their service mem- ber or Navy employee parents. From scientific experiments, to interactive and competitive events, parents relished the chance to show kids a little bit about what mom or dad does at work. "I think there's a lot of mystique about where we go off to every day," said Michael Burkholder, a sci- entist with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) who brought his 10- year-old daughter Emily to work. "[Children] see the base, but there's a fence around it and they don't know what goes on. This gives them the ideal oppor- tunity to spend the day on the base and actually see our offices. [Emily] has been looking forward to it for quite some time." EmilycheckedoutthedisplaysatNSWCDD'sZDe- partment with her friendTamara, 11, whose parents, Donna and EricWheater, also work for NSWCDD. "It's a fantastic opportunity for their own educa- tion and to expand what they think about science," said Donna, an engineer. "This opens up the world of what we do and how we apply science." At the Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) Defense branch, parents and their children marveled at NSWCDD scientist Max Lupton's ever- popular liquid nitrogen demonstration. "I think that BringYour Child toWork Day is really important because the kids don't know what we do," said Diane Cox, a security officer and mother of two, who observed, "The science, technology and math applications they have [in Dahlgren] are important, especially for young girls.Today's experiments are re- ally exciting. There are good role models here." Cox noted how seeing classroom subjects applied in real life makes her job as academic cheerleader a bit easier. "I remember thinking in high school when am I ever going to use math or geometry again," she said. "So this is a really cool way for the kids to see how education translates into a job. "The briefs the employees are giving have been great because they're speaking to the kids' level. Any- thing [the children] are interested in, they can do in Dahlgren, which is amazing." Cox's son Montgomery, 6, certainly had the neces- sarycuriositytoonedaybecomeascientist."Myfavorite [subject] is math," he said, zeroing in on the reporter's small voice recorder. "That's a really small phone." Overlooking the action was Mike Purello, head of CBR Defense Division, who seemed surprisingly at ease with the young people overrunning his confer- ence room. "One of the things that I think makes our country - and Navy - great is technology, especially in the areas of math, science and engineering," he said. "A lot of the technology and quality of life products that we take for granted today can be attributed back to a sci- entist or engineer." Purello thought BringYour Child toWork Day was not only a fun event, but one which might help Navy maintain a pool of talented employees in the future. "We owe it to young students to try and get them interested in those fields, and they are tough fields," he said. "They require a lot of academic discipline and although I think there are a lot of kids interested, they don't always get exposed to these fields. "This kind of event lets the kids see what their par- ents do and experience different technologies to peak their interest. It is fun and the kids see that. If several of the kids in this room decide they want to be a sci- entist or engineer based on what they saw today, I think we've accomplished something." Purello praised the extra-curricular efforts his em- ployees put forward to make the day's CBR events possible. "Obviously a lot of time and effort goes into the preparation," he said. "Our folks love what they do and this is reflected in the demonstrations." Over at the System Safety Engineering Division, no amount of preparation could ready adults for the creative responses given by children as part of a safety exercise. A group of kids were shown photos depicting ob- viously unsafe behavior, such as a car driving with an extension ladder sticking out the window.Then, the kiddy focus group was asked what could go wrong. "If you stopped the guy could go flying through the air and he would say weee!" noted Autumn, 7. "He could fall off and get run over and die," sug- gested Emma, who maintained the worst-case-sce- nario track for the duration of the presentation.

Kevin McCoy signs a program for NavalSurface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Chemical, Biologi-cal and Radiological (CBR) Defense personnel Angela Stambaugh andAndrea Harvey at the 2012 Sea-Air-Space Exposition, held at the GaylordNational Harbor Resort and Convention Center.During the three-day event which concluded April 18, Navy leadership andindustry leaders spoke about topics ranging from the current and futureNavy vessels to the future of Navy capabilities. More than 10,000 atten-dees had the opportunity to browse more than 180 booths from industryleaders and naval commands.The Navy League's Sea-Air-Space Exposition is three days of seminarsand demonstrations highlighting the latest maritime-related technologiesand solutions. The symposium provides an excellent opportunity for Navypolicy and operational leadership to interact with industry representativesto discuss and debate common interests and concerns.

Navy Air and Missile Defense Command(NAMDC) recognized one of its top perform-ers during a recent ceremony here. Eddie J.Williams Jr., an administrative officer with thecommand, was recognized for outstandingperformance and was honored as NAMDCEmployee of the Quarter.

"Eddie is both a team player and a strongleader," said Rear Admiral M. Stewart O'Bryan,NAMDC commander. "He is respected by hispeers and valued by the leadership."

Williams joined the Navy in 1989. Heserved aboard USS DAVID R. RAY (DD 971)

and USS COWPENS (CG 63), both in the Pa-cific theater. Ashore, he served as SecurityManager, Fleet Air, Keflavik, Iceland; N8 staff,Chief of Naval Operations; and AdministrativeChief, National Military Command Center.Williams retired from the Navy as a Chief PettyOfficer in 2010. Later that year, he joined NavyAir and Missile Defense Command.The com-mand's mission is to serve as Navy's lead or-ganization for Naval, Joint and Combined In-tegrated Air Missile initiatives.

Williams resides in Stafford, Va., with hiswife and two daughters.

Sailors and Navy employ-eesfromacross NavalSupportFacility (NSF) Dahlgren joinedcommunity organizations fora river cleanup April 21 at theCaledon Natural Area in ob-servance of Earth Day.

More than 150 volunteersroamed miles of PotomacRiver shoreline armed withgloves and trash bags to givethe otherwise pristine beacha facelift. Back at the parkingarea, Dahlgren's Chief PettyOfficers Association (CPOA)manned a grill to provide vol-unteers with food and drinksafter they returned from thetwo-hour litter patrol. TheFredericksburg Center for theCreative Arts held a trash-to-art contest after lunch, wherethe volunteers turned thebeach refuse into sculpture.

Carol Sparbel, assigned toDahlgren's Fleet and FamilySupport Center (FFSC) andone of Caledon's core of reg-ular volunteers, praised theevent's high turnout. "One of

the reasons I'm glad so manypeople came is that I feel[Caledon Natural Area] is anunderutilized facility," shesaid. "It's a marvelous assetto use for walking, the nature,stewardship of the earth andjust for plain old fun. There'sso much to do."

The volunteers' journeybegan with a hayride down abeautiful woodland trail thatled to the beach. There, allmanner of trash was found inweeds and brush. Becausethe Caledon Natural Area sitson a bend in the river, it accu-mulates a surprising amountof trash. Shoes, balls, nets,crab pots, fishing tackle andbottles were only a few of theitems collected. Some of thetrash fit into the unmention-able category.

Several in the contingentof Navy volunteers hailedfrom the Aegis Training andReadiness Center (ATRC).Fire Controlman 3rd ClassBush Savonsay, assigned toATRC, is a frequent commu-nity volunteer, but the Cale-don event was his first-everriver cleanup.

"I try to do a lot of volun-teer stuff, just to help the en-vironment," he said. "I feellike there are a lot of placesthat are dirty and need clean-ing up."

Savonsay was a "hero" tothe Daises ofTroop 5075, oneof the many Boy Scouts andGirls Scouts troops whocombed the shoreline for lit-ter. He carried some of theheavier trash bags for the five

first graders and their troopleader, Information Technol-ogy Specialist 1st Class Mau-reen Hassler.

"This is our second evermeeting," said Hassler, a re-servist. "We hope [the girls]learn not to litter and thatcommunity service can makethe world a better place. Andteamwork!"

The youthful enthusiasmmade the day of Mike Calla-

han, park interpreter for theCaledon Natural Area. "It's sogreat to see kids and studentsout here learning to be goodstewards of the earth," hesaid. "We have so many or-ganizations represented andI can't thank the volunteerswho helped put this togetherenough."

Park staff estimated thevolunteers saved them 300hours of cleanup. "Thingscome floating down the riverfrom DC and north and getdeposited on the shore here,"said Callahan. "This definite-ly helps keep the park clean."

Dahlgren's CPOA had thesatisfaction of not only sup-porting Earth Day, but alsocollecting donations for themany other causes the asso-ciation supports.

"It was enjoyable for us,"said Chief QuartermasterJohn Schools from the Centerfor Surface Combat Systems."The great thing was that wehad more people show upthan were expected. So wegave our time and coveredour cost and everythingworked out very well. Therewere a lot of Sailors out heresupporting us."

The Joint Warfare AnalysisCenter (JWAC) held its quar-terly awards ceremony April19, honoring more than 20employees for achievementsmade during both the first andsecond quarter of FY 2012 aswell as during all of 2011. In-cluded were both quarterlyand annual awards.

Kevin W. Graham and AmyM. Colgan both received theJoint Civilian Service Com-mendation Award for their di-rect analytical support to ajoint task force in Afghanistan.Graham deployed in theaterfrom April to August 2011 andColgan from September 2010to January 2011.

For his part, Graham's out-standing analytical ability di-rectly contributed to the suc-cess of combat operations hehelped support. Colgan, too,supported both task force andstrike force senior leaders, en-suring each received timelyand critical intelligence to en-sure the success of military op-erations.

Colgan was also presentedwith the Warfighter SupportAward, an annual honoraryawarded presented by JWACthat recognizes an individualwhose dedication and excel-lence in support of thewarfighter made a significantcontribution to the com-mand's operational goals andobjectives, improved its sup-port to the Global War on Ter-ror, and upheld its charter mis-sion.

A research analyst withJWAC's Operations Depart-ment, Colgan significantly im-proved communications, co-ordination and collaborationbetween deployed employees,JWAC headquarters, and othersupport staff.

She worked directly withJWAC's customers inAfghanistan where she devel-oped a network of professionalrelationships that directly re-sulted in higher quality JWACproducts.

Air Force Master Sgt. Lak-isha Adams was chosenJWAC's annual Military Mem-ber of the Year, Senior-Tier, for2011. Assigned to JWAC's Mil-itary Personnel Branch in itsHuman Resources Division,she completed a difficult rec-onciliation of the command'smilitary manpower docu-ments and led the validation ofpersonnel moves as a result ofthe command realignmentensuring 100 percent of thepositions were advertised andfilled.

In addition, Adams coordi-nated with service compo-nents on billet managementissues concerning the com-

mand's organizational struc-ture. As a result of her efforts,JWAC retained 100 percent ofoverage personnel despite bil-let cuts, thus lessening the im-pact of manning reductionwhile at the same timestrengthening the command'sability to support war-time op-erations.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. StevenL. Hanan was chosen the Mili-tary Member of the Year, Mid-Tier, for 2011. He prepared andpresented several intelligencebriefings that highlightedmany engagement optionsand courses of action to seniorleaders and fellow employees.He also created more than 400intelligence products and sup-ported many other intelli-gence analysis and relatedprojects, which directly helpedthe warfighter.

Navy Intelligence Specialist3rd Class James Cardoza wasselected the Military Memberof the Year, Junior-Tier, for2011. Among his accomplish-ments, he provided supportand course of action develop-ment that allowed for manyengagement options for sever-

al combatant command proj-ects, thereby giving them morecontingency options for plan-ning.

Navy Chief IntelligenceSpecialist Matthew Spears re-ceived his sixth Good ConductMedal for faithful, zealous andobedient naval service.

Natalie Ernst received theGlobalWar onTerrorism Civil-ian Service Award, which rec-ognizes the contributions andaccomplishments of Depart-ment of Defense civilians whodirectly support the ArmedForces in a combat theater.Ernst deployed to Afghanistanfor nearly four months begin-ning last November and re-turning in March. Altogether,she spent 117 days in theater.

Earlier in the week, NavyIntelligence Specialist 1st ClassMatthew Reed received theNavy and Marine Corps Com-mendation Medal. Reed wascited for meritorious achieve-ment as an analyst at JWACfrom October 2010 to Septem-ber 2011, which led to his se-lection as the Sailor of theYearfor U.S. Strategic Command.Among his accomplishments,

he displayed keen leadershipand teamwork, verified thecreation of 1,500 imageryproducts, helped develop so-lutions for forward deployedcommanders and combatforces engaged in operations,and provided quality controlfor eight other analysts by re-viewing more than 2,000 prod-ucts.

People of the QuarterNavy Lt.Cmdr. Mark Mon-

ahan was chosen the FieldGrade Officer of the Quarterfor the first quarter of 2012 forhis outstanding support as thecommand liaison officer to aregional command headquar-ters as well as a combatantcommand. In this capacity, heeffectively collaborated in thedevelopment of task require-ments, prioritization and therelease of many analyticalproducts and developed theframework in support of crisisaction planning.

Brian Detter, Deputy As-sistant Secretary of the Navyfor expeditionary programsand logistics management,visited with Naval SurfaceWarfare Center DahlgrenDivision (NSWCDD) lastmonth for briefings on anumber of the command'sresearch and developmentprograms.

Detter toured the elec-tromagnetic rail gun facilityand was briefed on NSW-CDD's directed energy ini-tiatives, the Distributed Tac-tical Communication Sys-tem (DTCS), and the Gun-slinger Package for Ad-vanced Convoy Security(GunPACS).

The EM railgun launch-er's initial testing atDahlgren on Feb. 28 kickedoff a two-month long testseries by the Office of NavalResearch (ONR) sponsor toevaluate the first of two in-dustry-built launchers. Thetests will bring the Navycloser to a new naval gunsystem capable of extendedranges against surface, airand ground targets.

"This is the next step to-ward a future tactical sys-tem that will be placed onboard a ship some day," saidRoger Ellis, ONR EM Rail-gun Program Manager (pic-tured to the left of DASNDetter), in a February ONRnews release. "This industryprototype represents a stepbeyond our previous suc-cessful demonstrations ofthe laboratory launcher."

The EM Railgun launch-er is a long-range weaponthat fires projectiles usingelectricity instead of chemi-cal propellants. Magneticfields created by high elec-trical currents accelerate asliding metal conductor, orarmature, between two railsto launch projectiles at4,500 mph to 5,600 mph.

With its increased veloc-ity and extended range, theEM Railgun will give Sailorsa multi-mission capability,allowing them to conduct

precise naval surface firesupport, or land strikes;cruise missile and ballisticmissile defense; and surfacewarfare to deter enemy ves-sels. Navy planners are tar-geting a 50 to 100-nauticalmile initial capability withexpansion up to 220 nauti-cal miles.

* NSWCDD technolo-gists have been making adifference in directed ener-gy research and develop-ment throughout thedecades. Their under-standing - and discoveries- led to the methodologiesbehind the electromagnet-ic launch of projectiles us-ing stored electrical energy.These methodologies arecritical to the evolution ofthe Railgun Program. The

ONR, Joint Non-LethalWeapons Directorate, andSurface Navy Directed En-ergy and Electric WeaponsProgram Office sponsor thevariety of directed energywork performed at theNSWCDD Naval DirectedEnergy Center.

* The Distributed Tacti-cal Communication Systemis the result of collaborativework between scientists andengineers from NSWCDahlgren and the MarineCorps Warfighting Labora-tory. The system was devel-oped by taking commercialoff-the-shelf parts by apply-ing science, technology andsystems integration to sup-port satellites and multipleplatforms that can be car-ried as handsets into the

field. DTCS handsets pro-vide on-the-move, over-the-horizon, beyond line-of-sight voice and position lo-cation information withoutthe need for ground infra-structure.

* NSWC Dahlgren engi-neers' rapid systems inte-gration of GunPACS proto-type Medium Tactical Vehi-cle Replacements with Gun-PACS technology provideswarfighters with enhancedsituational awareness, im-mediate threat detection,and cooperative engage-ment capabilities forground and combat logis-tics elements.

Advocates are trained to provide in-formation and services to individuals including accompanying them to thehospital and navigating them through the investigative and legal process.Thirteen of our amazing advocates, including the Sexual Assault ResponseCoordinator (SARC), participated or assisted in this event. They includedFC2 Chesonis, SSGT Babauta, FC1 Rowlands, FC1 Wright, FC1 Loftin, IT1Pastuna, YNC Cunningham, MA1 Wood, CS1 Mills, FC1 Wiggins, FCC Rosa,FC1 Scheier, FCC Dillenschneider and SARC, Gloria Arteaga.It is the Secretary of the Navy's goal to ultimately eliminate sexual assaultfrom the force. Until that time, let's make it everyone's mission to ensurethat all victims of sexual assault be treated with dignity, respect and sensi-tivity. A special thank you to all of you for your support of Sexual AssaultAwareness Month.

NSFIH's effort was part of a larger, multi-state initiative coordinated by the Alice Fergu-son Foundation in Accokeek, Md. The goal ofthe event is to raise awareness of impropersolid waste disposal and its effects on theecosystems of the Potomac.

The Alice Ferguson Foundation wasformed in 1954 as a nonprofit organization to"provide experiences that encourage connec-

tions between people, the natural environ-ment, farming and the cultural heritage of thePotomac River Watershed." In 1989 the AliceFerguson Foundation staff initiated the Po-tomac RiverWatershed Cleanup by removingtrash from the Piscataway Park shoreline.Over the years, the cleanup has experiencedexponential growth in volunteer participationand the total number of cleanup sites.

On NSF Indian Head, 11 volunteers collect-ed 20 bags of trash, seven tires, and 375 poundsof bulk debris such as metal pipe and scraplumber. In total, 750 pounds of debris were re-moved from the installation's shoreline.

On a regional scale, a total of 5,076 volun-teers at 206 sites throughout the Potomac Riv-er Watershed participated in the cleanup.They removed over 94.6 tons of trash, includ-ing 1,060 tires and over 15,000 plastic bags.
