Naval Support Activity South Potomac recognized service members and employees for outstanding performance of duties in the final quarter of the year at an awards ceremony Dec. 13 at Naval Support Facility Indian Head.

Before Cmdr. Elvis Mikel, executive officer of NSASP, announced the awards, he called Yeoman 2nd Class David Parker front and center to be frocked to the rank of petty officer 1st class. “Your appointment carries with it the obligation that you exercise increased authority and willingly accept greater responsibility,” said Mikel.

Cpl. Robert Faust, a police officer assigned to NSASP, received a letter of appreciation from Capt. Pete Nette, commanding officer of NSASP, for his “outstanding professionalism” during an incident Oct. 5 at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren involving an intoxicated driver who posed a serious threat to the safety of base residents. “Throughout the incident, you acted in a calm, competent and confident manner without knowing the true intentions of the perpe-

Several other NSASP police officers were recognized for their volunteering to support regional Navy law enforcement’s response to the tragic shooting at the Washington Navy Yard on Sept. 16. Deputy Chief Stan Chizuk, Capt. Brian Flanagan, Capt. Stephen Mullen, Lt. Dan Henderson, Lt. Paul Rose, Cpl. Randy Brown, Cpl. Bryan Mason and Cpl. Cecil Richards “acted in the public interest by searching numerous buildings for additional gunmen, while also directing fleeing civilians to

safety,” according to the award citation.

Mikel commended the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by the officers during the incident. “It was through your heroic action as a team and confidence in your training, that you and your team were able to pursue and end the threat to innocent lives that was presented by the shooter,” he said.

“It was truly appreciated by the Navy Yard and the chief of police up there,” added Capt.

Pete Nette, commanding officer of NSASP. “I thank you for

going up there and doing your duty.”

Eloisa Ramelo, installation financial manager, was recognized for her completion of the Certified Defense Financial Manager course from the American Society of Military Comptrollers. “Over a period of three years, she regularly attended classes after work and on weekends,” said Mikel. “Her commitment and dedication to attain this certification is just one more way that she provides NSASP command and the ‘N’ codes with impeccable budget and

financial acumen.”

Eddie Rhoden, networktechnical support specialist, was recognized for his recent attainment of Master of Science in Information Systems with a concentration in network management from Strayer University.

Eight NSASP employees were recognized for their work supporting Sexual Assault Prevention Civilians (SAPR-C) Team efforts in 2013. Mikel praised Dave Fredrickson, security director, Frank Furtado, program director for Fleet and Family Support, Jerry Schenemann, battalion chief at the Naval Support Facility Dahlgren Fire Department, Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Johanna Abreu, Theresa Stubits, supervisory management analyst, Linda Wilkes, administrative support technician, Ed Patuga, installation training officer, and Felicia Hoyle, sexual assault prevention and response victim advocacy specialist.

“To the team’s credit, NSASP was the first installation to complete the SAPR-C training requirement, having trained a population just under 500 employees within a four-week period,” said Mikel.

NSWCDD Engineer Honored with Haislmaier Award

By John Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications The 2013 Dr. Robert J. Haislmaier Memorial Award was presented to a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) engineer for significant contributions to the Navy Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) program, the Navy announced Dec. 5.

The award cited Michael Slocum - the NSWCDD Electromagnetic and Sensor Systems Department’s Assessment and Evaluation Branch Chief Engineer - for his efforts over the past 15 years, resulting in improved Fleet readiness and responsiveness through prevention, control and resolution of electromagnetic interference issues.

“I am truly honored to

even be considered for such a prestigious award,” said Slocum after receiving the award from Troy Johnson, Technical Advisor for Navy Cyber and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Integration. “It is truly a humbling experience and a highlight of my career.”

The award is named after a well-known and respected Navy civilian who worked his entire career on Navy E3 issues and served as the Chief of Naval Operations’ chief spokesman on E3 issues throughout the 1980s.

The citation credited Slocum for anticipating new E3 technologies and developing resources to effectively integrate them for the benefit of the U.S. Navy.

Slocum’s efforts ensured that Navy shipboard systems will safely and successfully accomplish their missions in the complex

“Mike is a visionary - he anticipated the need for new E3 technologies and developed the resources to effectively integrate them for the benefit of the U.S. Navy,” said Vice Adm. Ken-

dall Card, the Navy’s Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance in the citation. “He has been a tireless advocate for the U.S. Navy E3 Program and reached out to other supporting organizations to establish collaborative efforts

to maximize the benefit of available resources.”

Currently, Slocum is leading an effort to use reverberation chamber techniques and technology to develop and execute risk mitigation tests and analyses to ensure that complex weapons and control systems are capable of operating as required in their electromagnetic environment.

“He is recognized throughout both the DoD and international E3 communities as one of the most knowledgeable technical experts in the field of E3 and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) test and evaluation techniques,” said Card in the citation. “The U.S. Navy is better prepared to fight today because of Mike Slocum. His consistent and superior performance makes Mike a well deserving recipient of this distinguished award.”

The Youth Center’s Hail and Farewell Event

Friday, December 20, 2013

Region welcomes new SAPR victim advocacy specialist

By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer The region’s newest team member in the fight against sexual assaults in the military is settling into her job and getting the word out about response options for victims.

Felicia Hoyle, sexual assault prevention and response victim advocacy specialist for Naval Support Facilities Dahlgren and Indian Head, and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, is passionate about protecting service members and serving victims.

A graduate of Howard University, Hoyle began working with sexual assault victims as an intern at Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy Services (SAVAS) in Woodbridge. Serving the victims of sexual assaults quickly became a rewarding endeavor for Hoyle, who grew up in a military family. “I started to really love the work when I was interning,” she said.

Hoyle continued her advocacy at SAVAS after graduation and later accepted a position with the Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault

Students from Dahlgren School and from the community attended the Hail and Farewell Event at the Naval Support Facility Dahlgren Youth Center on Nov. 22. Friends said goodbye to student Gabriella Walters, who leaves for Spain this month. Two new students, twins Salma and Sania Amrani-Joulet, were recognized and welcomed by the group. The youth mingled, enjoyed snacks, played games led

by Junior Student 2 Student member Rachel Archulet, and had fun with the Youth Center’s game tables. Dahlgren School Counselor Amanda Roetto also attended the event.

U.S. Naval Academy 2014 Summer STEM Program is looking for students

By Lt. Teng K. Ooi, PhD, U.S. Naval Academy Each year in June, the United States Naval Academy launches a Summer Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Program to expose young people to STEM concepts and technologies. The United States Naval Academy’s 2014 Summer STEM Program is designed to encourage 8th through 11th graders to pursue a course of study in STEM-related subjects throughout high school, college and beyond.

The aim is to integrate STEM-focused concepts across the curriculum and pave the way for students to succeed academically in mathematics and science and help put them on a path towards successful STEM careers. An effective and practical way to stimulate student interest in STEM is to show how mathematics and science are applied to create exciting technologies.

The 2014 STEM program will showcase the latest in technological advances in a wide variety of science and engineering topics to include energy and light, infrastructure, transportation, cybersecurity, environmental challenges, flight and fluids, automation, simulation and modeling, biometrics and robotics.

Students are able to participate in project-based modules using a handson, real-world approach to solving design and analysis problems in the Naval Academy’s world-class laboratory facilities. This unique learning environment promotes engineering “hab-

It exposes students to a problem-based environment, outside the traditional classroom.

Our 2014 Summer STEM Program will be a great start to a student’s career in science and engineering. Applications open Jan. 6, 2014 at www.usna. edu/admissions/stem. 2014 session dates are June 2-7 for rising 8th and 9th graders, June 9-14 for rising 10th graders, and June 16-20 for rising 11th graders.

Selection is based on student accomplishments inside and outside the

classroom. All applicants will be notified of their status by May 1, 2014.

The tuition to attend a session is $350. Scholarships are available based on financial need. Each student will be responsible for arranging transportation to and from the Naval Academy.

Commercial air travelers should arrive at Baltimore-Washington International airport (BWI) between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Day 1 of the program, and depart no earlier than 3 p.m. on the last day of the program. Buses and midshipmen escorts will be on hand to transport students to and from BWI and the Naval Academy.

Inscoe processed more than 12,000 visitor requests this quarter, including more than 100 foreign nationals, in addition to more than 6,500 photo badges, 150 alarm response drills and 26 site inspections.

“Sharon is relied on heavily to facilitate tenant mission requirements and is very deserving of being selected,” said Mikel.

Jeron Hayes, public affairs specialist, was recognized as the Civilian of the Quarter, fourth quarter of 2013, for exceptional performance of duties. “Jeron serves as the principle conduit for the flow of official command information at both Dahlgren and Indian Head,” said Mikel. “She is the driving force in relaying critical information through social media, email communications and wide area networks.”

Mikel praised Hayes for her support of the 95th anniversary of Dahlgren events and the Combined Federal Campaign.

“Because of Jeron’s enthusiasm and energy, many programs have been brought to the forefront again, aiding many military and community families,” he said.

“I do consider it to be a calling,” Hoyle said. “It is something that’s near and dear to my heart. Sexual assaults have affected pretty much every woman who is close to me in my life. It’s my way of giving back to them and people who have experienced things similar to them.”

Respectful consent, Hoyle said, protects not only people, but also the joys of romantic relationships and all that they imply. “Sex should be something that is enjoyed by both parties,” she said. “I don’t think anyone should have the right to take that enjoyment away from

ager for NSF Indian Head, was recognized as the Civilian Supervisor of the Year. Fabey’s “effective leadership and communication ingenuity is what makes NSF Indian Head’s programs and events so successful,” said Mikel. “Her continued support to the various commands on the installation has greatly strengthened their relationship with MWR.” Under Fabey’s leadership, MWR successfully completed a track project and a new playground. Ongoing renovations to Building 620 are also tracking, Mikel noted.

Carol Allison, transition assistance manager and personal finance manager for the Fleet and Family Service Center , was recognized as the Civilian of the Year for her outstanding performance managing the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance program. Allison managed 2,556 volunteer hours and 775 clients to save them $142,000. Additionally, Allison skillfully managed the progression of the old Transition Assistance Program to the new TAP-GPS program.

“Carol also provides afterhours training for Sailors working the night shift through her ‘Military Saves Program,’ which teaches financial basics to Sailors,” said Mikel. “Because of her reputation, she was invited to teach age-appropriate financial lessons at Dahlgren School.”

Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Handling 2nd Class Charlie Kirkpatrick and Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Jesus Lopez were recognized as the Junior Sailor of the Year and Sailor of

the Year, respectively, for their “outstanding performance of duties, meticulous military bearing and positive attitude toward shipmates, Naval Support Activity South Potomac and the Navy,” said Mikel.

Lopez also received a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement for “superior performance of duties while serving as the Naval Support Activity South Potomac military support division leading petty officer,” as well as serving as the command’s fitness leader.

someone else. That’s important to me.”

All Navy personnel, Sailors and civilian employees alike, have a responsibility to help prevent sexual assaults. While Hoyle emphasized the importance of being a good listener and looking out for shipmates and coworkers, she also cautioned that there is no surefire way for concerned bystanders to determine whether or not someone has been sexually assaulted.

“For a lot of victims that I’ve seen, they can seem unaffected,” she said. “It’s hard to know the signs because people have so many different reactions. The most you can do is to be the type of person that if someone around you is going through something, they feel comfortable coming to you. It’s

important to just be open. For victims of sexual assault, there is no wrong or right reaction.

Your feelings belong to you.”

For victims of sexual assault who are considering their options, Hoyle offered some expert advice. “Know the people who can help you: The victim advocate, the [Sexual Assault Response Coordinator], anyone in medical or the chaplain,” she said. “Victims won’t be able to file a report with the chaplain, but he or she will be able to get the victim to us, where they can file a restricted or unrestricted report. Go to the people who can maintain your confidentiality. that’s the most important thing.”

Victims of sexual assault face challenges as they seek a return to normalcy in their lives, a process that can feel overwhelming

if undertaken alone. “If there is something eating away at you, something you need to get it off your chest, think about contacting someone and possibly filing a restricted report. so that you don’t have to do anything that you aren’t ready for.”

When in doubt, contact the SAPR 24/7 Watch Bill at (540) 424-0660 to get clarification on your options, resources, or to file a restricted or unrestricted report. Counseling resources are also available upon request.

You may also reach Hoyle on the duty cell phone at (540) 376-8858 or the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator at (301) 580-8212.

Remember, all calls to the Watch Bill, the Victim Advocacy Specialist, chaplains, healthcare provider and the SARC are kept confidential.

Civilians, service members give the gift Christmas joy

Friday, December 20, 2013

MILCON P-222 Construction Update

By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer Civilians and service members assigned to Naval Support Facilities Dahlgren and Indian Head set the stage for hundreds of Christmas smiles Dec. 17-18 when they provided a mountain of generous donations for needy military and civilian families in the community.

This year’s Holiday Assistance program collected Christmas gifts for 175 children and disabled adults, an unqualified success.

The donations came from every corner and command onboard Naval Support Activity South Potomac installations. Sailors assigned to NSASP and the Aegis Training and Readiness Center took on the joyful burden of loading the donated gifts from Dahlgren into a truck for distribution. The cute factor of the gifts, such as the superhero- or princessthemed bicycles, was high and the volunteers couldn’t help but feel the kind spirit of the season.

“For Sailors especially, if you’re away from home it’s important during the holiday season to feel like you’re a part of something,” said Fire Controlman 2nd Class Octavia Thompson, assigned to the ATRC. “This kind of brings you back to that, being involved in the community and the families. Seeing these toys and the excitement of the people who are dropping them off. it gets you back in the spirit.

“Even if you’re homesick, you see these bikes and it reminds you of your niece or your nephew,” Thompson continued. “I know I want to call home and tell my family that I can’t wait to see them all. I’ll tell them how we got involved in the community and helped that family spirit. it’s what the holiday season is really all about.”

Fire Controlman 2nd Class Octavia Thompson, right, assigned to the Aegis Training and Readiness Center, collects a donation from Keri-Anne Peyton, left, a scientist assigned to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division on Dec. 17.

Regional Ombudsmen enjoy coffee with Mrs. Darleen Greenert Yeoman 2nd Class Jordan Smith, assigned to Naval Support Activity South Potomac, brings another generous donation to the truck.

This bike and other donations provided by personnel at Naval Support Facilities Dahlgren and Indian Head is sure to bring smiles to needy children.

Mrs. Darleen Greenert, spouse of Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, hosted an Ombudsman Appreciation Coffee for Naval District Washington Ombudsmen on December 5th.
