WASHINGTON -An invaluable aircraft crash exercise was conducted on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Nov. 13 near the Naval Research Laboratory and base housing off of McGuire Avenue. JBAB’s Police, Fire and Emergency Services and Public Works departments, along with its Incident Management Team and Emergency Management Office, took part in the drill that looks to instill key training in not only emergency response, but how organizations communicate with each other in the event of an emergency. While one group is at the scene aiding and transporting victims and those in-
jured, many other variables are at play. Traffic needs to be maintained; outside agencies must be notified; requests from the media must be properly handled and those living, working and visiting the base must be accounted for in a timely manner. JBAB Vice Commander Air Force Col. Michael E. Saunders was pleased with how the exercise unfolded, particularly with the communication between JBAB and its mission partners. He hopes to raise the bar and get even better with future exercises. “I would like to see a checklist so our team members know what to do and that there’s a standard expectation of what happens at the Emergency Operations Center,” Saun-
der said. “Other than that, I believe things went really well.” Erik Grosof, assistant to the director of operations for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), was a return guest to JBAB this year, as he participated in last year’s crash exercise. While there’s security on a military installation, that doesn’t change any of the challenges or demands in an emergency, he said. “This is a controlled exercise. Though, in the event of an actual crash, we’re looking at five to seven days of having to walk through a crash site and document everything,” Grosof said. “That’s a general timeframe for something like this.

WASHINGTON – Nevada Congressman Mark Amodei stepped away from Capitol Hill Nov. 13 and made a special trip to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) to visit the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard. Amodei’s visit was two-prong, as he presented the official Nevada state flag to the proud unit while thanking them for their dedicated service to the nation. “This unit [Navy Ceremonial Guard] is one of the symbols of our great country. Through the good times and bad times,” Amo-

dei said. “The mission you perform - and the way you perform it - transcends beyond whatever happens that week, month, day or year.” Amodei is an Army veteran who served four years in its Judge Advocate General Corps. He is currently a member of a legislative committee on veterans’ affairs. He also serves on a sub-committee for disability assistance and memorial affairs, according to Navy Ceremonial Guard Commander John Giuseppe. “We appreciate Congressman Amodei visiting and presenting us with his home state’s flag. We’re honored that he took time
out of his schedule to be with us,” Giuseppe said. “He is pro-military and takes things very seriously. He works the issues that are near and dear to our hearts. We appreciate everything he does.” Amodei spent more than an hour talking with service members, learning what got them interested in the Navy and where they were from. Before leaving, he ended his visit with one final message of thanks. “You and similar units like you are a torch that burns brightly. Thank you for your service and for being an example to others,” Amodei said.

Navy announces new holiday stress navigation campaign, “Thrive during the Holidays” FROM CHIEF OF NAVAL PERSONNEL
With the holiday season approaching, Navy officials have launched its annual holiday stress navigation campaign. This year’s campaign, “Thrive During the Holidays,” will provide Sailors and families proactive resources to get ahead of holiday chaos while focusing on building resilience for the New Year. “For many of us, ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ is as demanding as it is joyous,” said Capt. Kurt Scott, Navy resilience chief. “Our Sailors and families are operating under more stress and uncertainty than
ever this year, and planning for the holidays can be overwhelming. Our annual campaign will address everything from financial preparations to maintaining diet and fitness goals, so that we can help everyone stay in the holiday spirit and position themselves to thrive in the New Year.” Navy Operational Stress Control’s 2013 “Thrive During the Holidays” campaign will include collaboration between Navy’s 21st Century Sailor programs and other readiness programs to offer resources on topics such as responsible alcohol use during holiday celebrations; planning and time management; budgeting; incorporating physical fitness into
busy schedules; healthy eating tips; spirituality and relationship fitness; and more. “Our focus is helping Sailors and families proactively identify these sources of stress before things start to pile up on them, so that they can truly enjoy their holidays and do so responsibly,” said Scott. “Continuing our effort to promote a sense of community, we really have something for everyone this year from families navigating the holidays with a loved one on deployment to helping Navy kids ‘Track Santa.’” Engagement with the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s annual “NORAD Tracks Santa” promotion is a new initiative
for the OPNAV N171 annual holiday campaign this year, part of an expanded effort to reach out to Navy kids. The “Thrive During the Holidays” campaign will continue through early January 2014. Releases can be found on Navy Operational Stress Control’s blog, www. navynavstress.com, and the Navy Suicide Prevention website, www.suicide.navy. mil.

Navy Chaplain Corps hones its pastoral care capabilities in cases of military sexual assault BY CHRISTIANNE M. WITTEN CHIEF OF CHAPLAINS PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Navy chaplains and religious program specialists met with Chaplain Corps leadership for a professional development training course validation at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Oct. 29-31. The training, hosted by the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center, focused on pastoral care for sexual assault victims with a particular emphasis on confidentiality and the role chaplains play in the healing and recovery process. While chaplains already receive training in sexual assault reporting procedures, this year’s training will represent “the first time the Chaplain Corps has focused on specialized training in pastoral care for sexual assault victims,” said Lt. Cmdr. David Thames, a Navy chaplain and deputy executive assistant to the chief of Navy chaplains, who helped coordinate the training. The purpose of the multi-day validation was to fine-tune the training course before it is rolled
out next January across the Chaplain Corps worldwide. “Sexual assault in our military is a critical issue that can have a devastating impact on our people and the command. As chaplains and religious program specialists, we are in the unique position of being first responders when these critical situations arise,” said Chief of Chaplains Rear Adm. Mark L. Tidd during his opening remarks. “The role we play in helping victims and the accused is crucial to the healing and recovery process for the individual service members, their units and their families,” Tidd added. “Our people have the right and privilege to confidential communications with us, as chaplains. This complete confidentiality is a critical resource for those we serve and our leaders, since it is this confidentiality that encourages victims to take the steps to become survivors who regain a sense of wholeness and hope in times of deepest human need. We must do all we can to uphold and protect this sacred trust placed in us,” Tidd said. Teresa Scalzo, deputy director for the office of the judge advocate general
corps’ trial counsel assistance program, was among the subject matters experts in attendance to address how religious ministry teams can support victims as they navigate the legal process. “Chaplains are truly partners in the justice process. Very often we forget that there are two important goals in military justice: one is victim health and wholeness and the other is offender accountability,” Scalzo said. “We are far more likely to achieve both goals if we seek both goals. In other words, if we are able to support a victim and help a victim heal, they are far more likely to want to cooperate in the process, to testify, to be able to get through the stresses and trauma of the military justice system. The chaplain can help the victim by empowering and supporting the victim, recognizing the pressure points in the process, and providing pastoral care to help the victim get through those trying times,” she added. When asked about the complete confidentiality one can have with the chaplain, Scalzo went on to say, “confidentiality, in the context of the chaplain, is

The chaplain is the one person the victim or the accused can go to and speak freely in the context of receiving spiritual guidance.” In addition to covering the reporting process and the legal aspects associated with military sexual assault cases, attendees also learned about the psychology of trauma and the psychological impact of sexual assault on a victim. The final day focused on best practices for providing pastoral care to both the victims and the accused.

perts to help chaplains learn how to better “care for those who pursue healing; to assist in lending an articulate vocabulary to those who’ve lost their voice due to the trauma of sexual assault,” said Capt. Kyle Fauntleroy, a Navy chaplain and commanding officer of the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center. Throughout her training, Leslie emphasized the ability of chaplains to bring “healing where there is brokenness; to be a safe place for victims to be heard and understood.” She described how the chaplain’s presence, combined with their ethical and theological framework, can help bring healing and hope
to those who are struggling and hurting. “Chaplains offer compassion when being present with people who are suffering. They help them to make sense of what has happened to them emotionally, physically and spiritually,” Leslie said. “Chaplains help victims navigate through grief and loss and serve as a reminder that they are deserving of attention, not only by a chaplain, but also by God. That there are deserving of justice,” she added. For more information on the Navy Chaplain Corps and complete confidentiality, visit www.chaplain.navy. mil and www.navy.mil/local/crb/.

Cody launches worldwide CHIEFchat, answers questions from the force BY AIRMAN 1ST CLASS ALEXANDER W. RIEDEL AIR FORCE NEWS SERVICE
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. (AFNS) -- Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody shared his perspective on the past, present and future of the Air Force with Airmen, Air Force civilians and their families Nov. 12, during a worldwide CHIEFchat session at the headquarters of the Defense Media Activity. Reduction in force and readiness in the light of continued budgetary constraints were at the center of attention as the 17th chief master sergeant of the Air Force addressed a live studio audience and others joining the discussion via social media and video messages. Airmen via social media asked the chief to share his vision of the Air Force in the next decades. Cody answered that while he could not have predicted the development of the Air Force in his 29 years of service, leaders will continue to plan for the demands of an uncertain future. “Whatever our nation requires us to do in the future,” he said. “I’m extremely confident that we will be an extremely capable Air Force, capable of doing what our nation needs us to do.” Cody then took a video message from Aviano Air Base, Italy, asking whether increased workload and additional duties could decrease Airmen’s focus on core tasks. Cody acknowledged that impacts of fiscal limitations will be felt throughout the ranks, but said he remains confident in the effectiveness and professionalism of Airmen.

Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James A. Cody (right) answers a question from the audience during a worldwide CHIEFchat Nov. 12 at the Defense Media Activity at Fort George G. Meade, Md. Airmen around the world had the opportunity to submit their questions to the service’s top enlisted leader through social media and video submissions. “I absolutely don’t think Airmen will lose focus of their primary duties,” Cody said. “Our Airmen know what their job is; they’re very focused on it and perform their duties exceptionally well.” Cody also highlighted the value of faceto-face communications in the electronic
age. While social media allows for messages to be related quickly, Cody encouraged Airmen to maintain personal connections. “We run a great risk when we rely too heavily on social media,” he said. “It does concern me when we are losing the human connection as Airmen. I think we have to find a balance, and that balance is how do we remain connected with each other … and at the same time take advantage of all the tools that are out there to keep Airmen and their families informed.” Airman 1st Class Miles Wilson, a public affairs student with the Defense Information School here, said he appreciated the chief’s direct approach to communication. “Hearing from somebody in his position helps me see what’s going on in the Air Force at large,” Wilson said. “The chief has nearly three decades of experience. He has seen a lot happen and hearing his perspective was very useful.” Later in his talk, Cody opened the floor for questions from Airmen, who used the opportunity to question their service’s top enlisted leader about the potential impact

There’s a lot of air traffic over JBAB. It’s very important to stay prepared and have contingency measures in place.” During a briefing at the Emergency Operations Center, Grosof provided an overview of the NTSB and its role in times of emergen-
of budget cuts to Air Force families. Citing unprecedented growth of benefits and entitlements in the last decade, Cody said cutbacks will have to be expected. “We are trying to work through that,” he said. “The end result is we’re going to have to reduce the size of the force -- to a significant degree, potentially,” he said. “With that, we’re going to have to make sure our Airmen understand that our people are still our No. 1 asset. But we’re going to have to adjust.” Cody took a question from the web dealing with sexual assault, and made it clear that prevention is the responsibility of every Airman. “We should all be extremely outraged that this crime takes place in our Air Force,” he said. “The only way to fully get after this is that we all understand that it is a problem and we all take responsibility for preventing it in the future.” Cody mentioned the successful implementation of special victims counsels, which provide expedited and personalized victim advocacy and support to victims of sexual assault. Air Force leaders, he said, are committed to increase understanding of victim needs and are working with military and civilian experts to improve recovery and long-term care in the future. “One victim is too many and because of that we will continue working on this,” the chief said. “Ultimately, we will care for the victim to the best of our ability and will absolutely hold those that commit these crimes to the highest degree of accountability.” The final question focused on the chief’s tips to Airmen on making the Air Force a career. Besides the steady pursuit of excellence, Cody said that owning the mission is essential. “Even as our Air Force is getting smaller, we still have a lot of Airmen in our Air Force,” he continued. “What we really want is a lot of Air Force in all our Airmen. And if you think of the Air Force and yourself as one, your whole perspective changes.” CHIEFchat is a recurring initiative, designed to give Airmen around the world a direct connection to the chief master sergeant of the Air Force. Watch the fulllength talk here. Airmen can join the conversation with the chief master sergeant of the Air Force by following him on Facebook.
cies, in addition to its standard operating procedure in the event of an aircraft crash. Timothy Trammel, director of training and emergency readiness at JBAB, agreed with Saunders that the exercise was a success and that communication was solid among all the participating organizations. “I was very pleased with everyone’s response. Participation was great,” Trammel said. “There’s a lot involved with exercises like this.”

DOD must control rising personnel costs, Hagel tells NCOs BY JIM GARAMONE AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
WASHINGTON - The Defense Department has to get personnel costs under control, according to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. During Hagel’s monthly lunch with junior non-commissioned officers at his Pentagon office recently, the secretary had a clear message on this point. “You can’t build institutions, you can’t build national security for this country, unless you have the right people motivated in the right culture and they believe they are being treated fairly,” the secretary said. The secretary also discussed the issue of sexual assaults in the military. He told the NCOs that the system was broken, and that the services are working to fix it. One NCO noted to the secretary that the recent case of an officer tasked with formulating service policy to combat sexual assault being accused of the crime does not help the push to eliminate sexual assaults in the military. The NCOs also discussed the issue of women in combat with the secretary. Hagel said he does not want a lowering of standards or a quota system for putting women into combat jobs. Rather, he said, he wants
equality of opportunity for all service members. But the discussion with the NCOs came down to money and the defense budget. Former secretaries Robert M. Gates and Leon E. Panetta pointed out that the department cannot afford the uncontrolled growth in personnel accounts. The services already have plans to cut the number of personnel, and that sequestration-mandated spending cuts will speed this process if they continue. “Health care costs are consuming a larger and larger percentage of our budget every year,” Hagel said. “Personnel costs right now, including retirement compensation [and] health care, are about 50 percent of our total budget.” If this continues, the Defense Department cannot afford it, the secretary said. “We made a number of recommendations over the past few years, … but Congress has to be a partner in this,” he added. “If we don’t make some tough choices along the way, … then we’ll have a military that is heavily compensated, but probably a force that is not capable and not ready.” This is not a subjective evaluation, Hagel said, and it is the way the military is heading, unless changes are made.
