Family, friends, and comrades gathered April 9 at the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) at Naval Annex Stump Neck to honor the memory of one of their own. Tech. Sgt. Anthony Capra was the non-commissioned officerin-charge of the Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technical Support for Detachment 63, 688 Armament Systems Squadron at Indian Head. In 2008, the Hanford, Calif. native died from wounds suffered while disarming an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) near Golden Hills, Iraq, just outside of Forward Operating Base (FOB) McHenry. After the remembrance ceremony, a heartfelt memorial was dedicated to Capra in a passageway that now bears his name. Capra’s service record was already highly-distinguished at the time of his passing. He received the Bronze Star for a 2006 de-

Anthony Capra, an EOD tech who was killed in action in Iraq in 2008 while assigned to Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technical Support for Detachment 63, 688 Armament Systems Squadron at Indian Head.

His other major awards include the Joint Services Commendation Medal, Air Force Commendation
Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Air Force Achievement Medal with two oak leaf clusters, Air Force Combat
Action Medal and Iraq Campaign Medal. An oak leaf cluster denoting a second Bronze Star was awarded to
Capra posthumously along with the Purple Heart. Those who had the honor of serving with Capra remembered him as courageous, capable young man with a great sense of humor. “Tony was an outstanding explosive ordnance disposal operator,” said Tech. Sgt. Miles Lambert. “He exemplified all of the characteristics an EOD technician: he thought quickly and clearly under pressure, took charge of any situation and had immeasurable courage. Regardless of the task, he rose to every challenge with vibrant enthusiasm. Tony truly loved what EOD stands for: placing one’s self in harm’s way so that others may stay safe. His selfless actions in the face of danger saved countless Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and civilians, on the battlefield and in garrison.” As the oldest of 10 children and the father of five of his own, Capra was a dedicated family man. “Nothing mattered more to him than family,” said Lambert.

CBIRF welcomes new chaplain By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer Lt. Cmdr. Marc McDowell, the new chaplain assigned to the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF), takes pride in his work with all four military branches during his more than 16-year career. But the North Carolina native has always had a special place in his heart for Marines and is happy to once again serve the few and the proud. The Iraq War veteran has a message for all members of his new command: whether it’s a military or family issue, a spiritual matter, or simply a question about life in general, McDowell’s door is always open. A chapel message from an Air Force chaplain during seminary helped McDowell realize his calling to serve. “I grew up in a very conservative, very patriotic family,” he said. “So I thought I could be in the military. I could do this. So things
came together that way. It’s good to be in an assignment like this because you can find the needs of the individuals and bring resources to them-either things that I can help a Marine or Sailor with, or finding someone else I can refer them to. I try to get to know everyone and learn about what’s available in the area.” Of course, spiritual matters are not the only duty undertaken by chaplains: they serve a vital role in the chain of command. “The chaplains are the only entity within the active service that a service member can go to with confidentiality. It’s very similar to the concept of the penitent and the priest-[chaplains] are the only person you can tell something to and have it not go beyond that person.” McDowell has experience serving a variety of military units, from Marines in Okinawa and North Carolina, to a “couple” of Navy tours, to Multi National Corps Iraq (MNC-I). The latter assignment saw McDow-
ell cooperate closely with members of the sister services, as well as Iraqi forces and civilians. McDowell participated in an outreach called “Hearts for Baghdad,” which assisted Iraqis touched by the war. The outreach brought toys, personal items and activities to Iraqis, many of them children. “I enjoyed it,” said McDowell. “That was very rewarding.” Still, cultural differences among the Iraqis led to some challenging situations. When a South Korean officer offered to teach Iraqi children tae kwon do, some Iraqi soldiers balked at the idea of co-ed classes specifically and of teaching girls self-defense in general. “The pushback we got from the Iraqis was that girls couldn’t do that,” said McDowell. “We went behind closed doors and we ventilated about it and then we found a way to keep both parties happy. The boys were taught outside and the girls were taught inside a tent with the flaps down. I was determined that the girls were going to

Student 2 Student helps military children
Month of the Military Child By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer
April is the month of the military child and citizens around the nation are focusing on ways to improve the lives of military kids. On organization, the Military Child Education Coalition, made waves in 2004 when it introduced the Student 2 Student (S2S)-a peer-based program designed to help military high school students adjust to new schools and make new friends. In 2006, a similar program was created for middle school students: Junior Student 2 Student (JS2S). Both programs function similarly; S2S members receive training from the Military Child Education Coalition and are paired with new stu-

issues faced by new students is daunting. From not getting lost, to making friends, to keeping up with lessons, to
avoiding bullies, the obstacles can pose serious challenges.

By Kimberly Lansdale Center for Surface Combat Systems
Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) recognized its Civilian of the Quarter (COQ) for the first quarter of 2013 at an awards ceremony at the Arleigh Burke auditorium onboard Naval Support Facility Dahlgren April 16. “I was pleasantly surprised when I first received the news,” said Financial Analyst Joy Elliott. “I work with a great team and love every aspect of my job.” Elliott has been part of the resource management team since March of 2011, working with CSCS west coast detachments and their budgets. She also distributes funds for CSCS headquarters and its 14 learning sites. “I started at CSCS as a Financial Technician and shortly after became a Financial Analyst,” she said. “I have enhanced my knowledge and skills set and look forward to learning new skills and strengthening the ones I have.” Elliot’s supervisor, Terri Dirscherl, the Budget Officer for Resource Management Directorate, nominated her for the award. “Joy has really stepped up to the plate,” said Dirscherl. “She has learned new tasks, while continuing to do tasks from her former vacated position. She has done her job and anything asked of her, with a professional, pleasant,

Awardees honored for delivering national defense solutions Ninety-three individuals and 23 groups were honored with 16 different Navy and Dahlgren Division awards as the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) held its annual honor awards ceremony on April 19. “Our awardees have stepped up the pace to take on responsibility and persevered until the solution was found and the task completed,” said NSWCDD Commander Capt. Michael Smith. “They have accepted each challenge with positive responses and reached beyond everyday expectations to deliver solutions critical to supporting our homeland and national defense. Through their innovation and hard work, they truly exemplify the Dahlgren Division’s legacy of excellence,” said Smith. Dr. Robert Gates, a former head of NSWCDD’s Strategic and Weapon Control Systems Department, and technical director for NSWC Indian Head Division prior to his retirement from federal service in 2010, was the guest speaker at the awards ceremony held at the University of Mary Washington’s Dahlgren campus. Gates recounted NSWCDD’s history and transition from an ordnance-based organization to a premier research and development laboratory. Currently serving as the vice president for the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation, Gates cited NSWCDD’s impact on major research and development programs, from submarine launched ballistic missile defense in the 1960s to today’s electromagnetic rail gun and directed energy programs. “The key ingredient has always been the personnel,” said Gates, pointing out that success at Dahlgren has always been based on leadership that is “flexible enough to be able to respond to changes.” “May you be inspired by our award recipients,” Smith told NSWCDD employees in the audience. “Always remember that your work, our work, makes a difference on a daily
basis to the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States military. We will continue to serve proudly alongside them.” The NSWCDD Commander commended families, friends and colleagues of award recipients, crediting them with enabling the awardees’ success. “As we recognize our awardees, let us also remember the families and co-workers who are partners in the career successes we celebrate today,” said Smith. “To the spouses, children, parents, and friends - thank you for your patience and understanding when long hours and extended travel were necessary.” Individual and group awards presented during the ceremony were featured in detail in last week’s special edition of the South Potomac Pilot. Those who did not pick up a newsstand copy can retrieve the newspaper on line at www.issuu.com, search on South Potomac Pilot for the April 19 edition.
In addition to the awards made during the annual recognition ceremony, Smith also announced additional awards that are scheduled for presentation later this year. Michael Slocum was named as the 2013 winner of the Dr. Robert J. Haislmaier Memorial Award for significant contributions to the Navy’s electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) program. This award is named after a well-known and respected Navy civilian who worked his entire career on Navy E3 issues and who was the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations chief spokesman on E3 issues throughout the 1980s. Slocum was cited for his efforts over the past 13 years that resulted in improved Fleet readiness and responsiveness through prevention, control and resolution of electromagnetic interference issues. He anticipated new E3

technologies and developed the resources to effectively integrate them for the benefit of the U.S. Navy. Smith also announced that members of the CVN 78 Class Interface Control Working Group will receive the Program Executive Office, Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) Excellence Award later this year. The working group was cited for reducing the risk associated with integrating newly developed warfare systems on CVN 78, the first ship of its class. The team evaluated 80 systems, identified discrepancies, and saved the Navy up to $15 million dollars in reinstallation costs. The NSWCDD working group members are Mark Fulir, Jim Hall, Pam Littleton, Donny Wardlaw, Kevin Long and Mike McCracken.

Airman: Honored for helping EOD techs adapt to security challenges Continued from page 1
“He would talk incessantly about his beautiful wife Angie and about his children-Mark, Victoria, Jared, Shawn, Adrianna-Tony was a proud father and a devoted husband.” Several members of Capra’s family, including his father Tony, served or are serving in the Air Force. His children unveiled the memorial after the dedication ceremony. Capra’s flight commander, Maj. Shane Frith, thanked all who helped make the memorial possible. The memorial featured the Soldier’s Cross, an M-4 carbine with bayonet, boots, helmet and dog tags bearing Capra’s name. After his passing, the remaining members of Capra’s flight in Balad all wore copies of Capra’s dog tags. One of those comrades donated his copy of Capra’s dog tags for the memorial. A plaque honoring Capra at Balad Air Base in Iraq was also moved to NAVEODTECHDIV for the memorial. “I want to say thank you for all the tradition, the history, all the care and all the love that goes into this,” said Frith. Frith recounted fond memories of Capra. “Tony was funny,” he said. “I have a hard time standing up here and being so professional when I think of Tony because he was so candid. He was so funny-you couldn’t go into a room with Tony there and not laugh at something he said.” Capra’s personal and professional qualities were admired by all who knew him, said Frith. “It’s an honor, truly an honor, to be here and to dedicate this hallway to the memory of Tony. Not only because of who he was, but also for the role he played at [NAVEODTECHDIV].” Capra’s work serving the EOD community in garrison was exceeded only by his heroism on the battlefield. “As an EOD technician deployed, he went responded to 221 combined EOD and IED missions,” said Frith. “Think about how many military and civilians were positively affected by Tony’s heroic actions.” Capt. Thomas Smith, commander of NAVEODTECHDIV, praised Capra’s service and the legacy he left behind. “I’m so honored to be here and be a part of this ceremony, to celebrate

Anthony Capra, right, unveils the passageway and memorial bearing his name. the life and the gift and the sacrifice of Tech Sergeant Capra,” he said. “To his family-Angie and his children, to [his father] and his mom, to his brothers and sisters, honored guests, flag and general officers, [special executive service civilians]-welcome to EODTECHDIV and this dedication ceremony. Certainly, Tony exists in the hearts and minds of those who
knew him and now, with this dedication, generations of new EOD warriors from all services will learn of Tony’s legacy of service and sacrifice.” Brig. Gen. David Howe, director of Installations and Mission Support, Headquarters Air Combat Command, paid tribute to Capra’s service. “It’s a distinct privilege to get to be here to play any small part in this

Howe credited EOD techs like Capra for helping the EOD community adapt to security challenges far beyond the community’s original role of disposing munitions. “Now, in the wars our nation has engaged in EOD forces are embedded in ground maneuver units,” he said. “There is
a fast-growing demand for this career field in support of special operations forces, which is understandable. The career field has adapted, grown and evolved with amazing speed and it’s much to their credit.” Above all, Howe praised the skill and courage necessary to perform EOD missions, qualities he said
Dog tags with Tech. Sgt. Anthony Capra’s name hang from a carbine as part of the memorial dedicated to his memory. After his passing, every member of Capra’s unit wore a copy of his dog tags for the remainder of their deployment; one member donated his copy for the memorial. Capra personified. “This career field is not cut out for everybody,” said Howe. “It is only a select few who can do it and do it as well as [Capra] did.”

Earn Rank, Not a Reputation Community Notes: Continued from page 6
Navy’s Flagship Responsible Drinking Campaign 2013 You’ve worked hard for your career as a Sailor. Only one-third of 17 to 24 year olds in the United States are even eligible for Navy service, and even fewer are capable of enduring the physical and emotional challenges of being a Sailor. From boot camp to advancement exams, job training and deployments, you have conquered them all through hard work, sacrifice and dedication. Making responsible drinking choices is an extension of that dedication. Just one bad decision while drinking alcohol can jeopardize everything you’ve earned. Sailors involved in alcohol related incidents face serious consequences, including loss of rank, rate or pay; separation from the Navy; and civilian consequences, such as fines and jail time. Irresponsible drinking not only threatens your health and career, it threatens the Navy’s ability to be mission-ready. This Navy’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention
on Radio Station Road in La Plata, Maryland. Registration forms are due in the Department of Public Works’ main office by noon on Wednesday, May 1. For more information or to receive an entry form, call the Department of Public Works, Parks & Grounds Division, at 301-932-3470 or 301870-2778 weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Citizens with special needs may contact the Maryland Relay Service at 711, or Relay Service TDD: 800-735-2258.
Signs that you may be drinking too much:
- Not having control over the amount of alcohol you consume - Alcohol negatively affecting your work and/ or relationships with others - Poor judgment and risk-taking - Confused thinking - Difficulty remembering details or events - Slow reaction time and reflexes - Distorted vision and blackouts - Angry and/or depressed mood
Drink responsibly every time:
- Plan ahead for a safe ride home - Don’t try to “keep up” with others - Know your limit, before you get there

do what the boys were doing-we could make other arrangements, but we weren’t going to leave them out.” Another tour brought McDowell to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where he served the prison guards. “I was an [individual augmentee] to [Joint Task Force Guantanamo],” said McDowell. “I was in an out of the camps and visited the guards every day, several times a day. The Navy Chaplain Corps talks about ministry presence which is being present with people when they do what they have to do. That’s the one place I found it meant the most.” The sum of McDowell’s experience has given him a better appreciation of his own faith and of other faiths. “It’s widened my lenses in some ways,” he said. “I’ve found that chaplains and people of other faith groups that I wouldn’t have met if I hadn’t been [a chaplain]. They are people I respect greatly, regardless of their specific faith group. But there are knuckleheads everywhere-I’ve found knuckleheads in other faith groups and I’ve found knuckleheads in my own faith group.” While it is true that there is a knucklehead or two in every group of people, McDowell values his opportunity to serve the Marines above all others. “What I like about Marines is, people might say they do things the hard way. And it can be hard, it can be tough. But you know what to expect and its simple and you can depend on it. Everything is tied to a purpose. From uniforms to daily routine. It’s a wonderful thing. I enjoy working in a Marine environment more than any other thing. What’s not to like?” McDowell is currently in the thick of the very challenging CBIRF Basic Operators Course (CBOC) and already has great respect for the organization.”CBIRF has a very welldefined mission,” he said. “They’re the only ones in the Marine Corps and Navy with that kind of mission. They’re well resourced and they train hard. They’ve got a good group of combat veterans as well.” The prospect of serving the many combat vets assigned to CBIRF motivates McDowell. “They need a lot of care. They sacrificed a lot for our national defense, personally. Others around them paid the ultimate price and they’re still working through it. So it is a great challenge.”
Free Rabies Clinic Offered on May 5
NADAP campaign - “Keep What You’ve Earned” - seeks to encourage responsible drinking among Sailors by celebrating the achievements in their Navy careers. Through recognition of their hard work and dedication, Sailors are reminded of their accomplishments-and how much they have to lose if they make poor choices regarding alcohol. The campaign actively
engages Sailors as advocates for responsible drinking. If you think you may be struggling with an addiction to alcohol, or if drinking interferes with your work and/or relationships, visit the Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program located at your base’s clinic or military treatment facility. For more information, contact your base Alcohol and Drug Control Officer.

Continued from page 3
The sheer number of school moves undertaken by many military children makes a program like S2S especially useful, though the program is also offered to non-military new students. Students at the Dahlgren School have embraced JS2S and membership has grown from three to nine since the school began participating in the program in May of 2012 at the suggestion of Lolita Gunter, school liaison officer for Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP). Gunter praised the program for not only helping meet the unique needs of military children, but also for teaching student member invaluable life skills: leadership, organization, public speaking and above all, kindness. “It’s really a good program,” she said. “The children really need it. I really want all schools to have this program.” When the program began at the Dahlgren School, six students stepped up to the challenge and became members of JS2S. Three of those original six members have since moved on to high school. The three remaining JS2S members and Stephen Burton, guidance counselor at the Dahlgren School, discussed the progress of JS2S over lunch April 10. “It’s a great leadership opportunity for these kids,” said Burton, who helps the Dahlgren School JS2S members run the program. “It’s a great way to develop the ability to interact with others in a positive way.” JS2S students use those skills to help new students in ways that an adult could not. “Military students are so transient in their school years that this is a program that allows students to help each other make those transitions,” said Burton. “It’s run by the students-they’re responsible for planning the activities, making the connections, all of it.” The original three members of JS2S still attending the Dahlgren School described their motivations for reaching out to other military children. “As a kid in the Navy, you move around a lot-I think the shortest [time] I’ve ever lived in one place is two years-so you don’t really get to know a lot of people in that short of time and you don’t get to keep them as you move on,” said Megan, self-described “shy kid” and member of Dahlgren

Celebrating the 15th Annual Plant Sale and Free Plant Exchange
Sotterley Plantation will hold their 15th annual Plant Sale and Free Plant Exchange on Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Sunday, April 28 from Noon - 3 p.m. The Free Plant Exchange will run on Saturday only from 10 a.m. to Noon. Your plants in exchange for other annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, shrubs, trees, bulbs and seeds! For more information on this event or other upcoming Sotterley Plantation events, visit our website at www.sotterley.org. JS2S. “With the skills you learn with JS2S, you can make friends faster.” Those skills begin with making new students feel at ease. “You learn how to make kids feel comfortable,” said Megan. “You introduce them around to people so that they know everybody.” Geoffrey, JS2S member, explained his reasons for participating in the program. “I thought it would be fun and I like helping people.” For Libby, JS2S member, her own experiences as a military child motivated her to participate. “It helps new students be welcomed to the base,” she said. “I know how it feels to be a military child. My dad was in the service for 20 years. I know how it feels to come to a base and not know anyone. If I can help one student feel more comfortable, [than] they can help other students also.” Helping other military children adjust to the Dahlgren School has been a rewarding experience for members of JS2S. “It’s a good feeling, because I know those students are going to have new friends,” said Libby. “They have people to show them around and they don’t feel like they shouldn’t be here. They feel like they belong in this new environment.” “It’s nice to see the new kid feel comfortable and feel like they do fit in,” added Megan. “It feels good helping new students because we’ve all been in that situation. We move and we don’t know anybody,” said Geoffrey. “You just help the person out and they’re friends with everybody.” Word of the good deeds done by members of S2S at the Dahlgren School and elsewhere has put a spotlight on the unique needs of military children. The fact that military children are themselves looking out for one another through S2S has impressed educators, military parents and military leaders. “I’m very impressed at the leadership shown by the members of the Dahlgren School’s Junior Student 2 Student program,” said Capt. Pete Nette, commanding officer of Naval Support Activity South Potomac. “As a father, I understand how difficult it is for military kids to change schools and make new friends. For other military children to step up and help their fellow students is awe-inspiring; they’re truly an exceptional group of young people and I thank them for their service.”
