Keeping it professional Pax River workplaces inspected for offensive materials By Donna Cipolloni Tester staff writer By way of fleetwide message ALNAV 038/13, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus mandated inspection of all Department of Navy workplaces and common areas to ensure they are free from materials that create a degrading, hostile or offensive work environment. Following the guidelines of the June 7 directive, supervisory personnel Navywide had until July 12 to conduct inspections and report the results to SECNAV, including the amount and type of material found, the location where it was discovered, and how it was removed. Areas inspected around Naval Air Station Patuxent River included office buildings, hangars, ready rooms,
conference rooms, individual offices and cubicles, storage rooms, workshops, break rooms, bathrooms, common spaces and recreation areas. “Supervisors conducted a comprehensive visual inspection of their areas,” explained JP Thomasseau, deputy public works officer, describing the process that took place at Public Works, building 508. “Anything they could see when they walked into an office or cubicle — including screensavers — was open to inspection; and they went cube by cube, space by space.” Inspectors in the NAS Administration Building, building 409, did much the same thing. “The inspection here was conducted June 12 while people were at work,” said NAS Command Master Chief
William Lloyd-Owen. “They looked for anything that seemed inappropriate in plain sight; no drawers or computers were opened.” At Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 1, the hangar was divided into four zones with two officers and two chief petty officers assigned to inspect each zone. “We removed a couple of unprofessional posters and a book,” said Command Master Chief Michelle Lewis. “We found some writing on the wall in the male head, and the slogan on the [Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor] posters was viewed as unprofessional, so we removed them.” Nothing overtly crude or pornographic was discovered anywhere across the installation and most of what was removed included question-
Recycling: A commitment to preserve By Frederick C. Fair Naval Air Station Patuxent River Public Affairs volunteer One sure method of preserving Mother Earth is to be an active user of the recycling options offered by many organizations. In some neighborhoods you’ll find conspicuous colored bins for recycling collection to include paper, plastics and more, while Naval Air Station Patuxent River offers indoor and outdoor storage bins and receptacles for reusable’s. At the Tester, we take recycling seriously. There are approximately 15,000 new issues of the Tester delivered to the base each week to more than 100 locations. So, what happens to the old Testers once they’re replaced every Thursday with its new edition? John Rives, publisher for Comprint Military Publications, is in charge of printing the Tester newspapers, and he has embraced a recycling program for the
able cartoons, office/political humor, magazines, photos, unsuitable calendars and an inappropriate remark on a status board, said Lloyd-Owen. Inspections will continue at least once per year, as directed by the ALNAV message, which also stated that all DON personnel shall be treated with dignity and respect, and that a command climate free of all forms of unlawful discrimination, including sexual harassment, is essential to maintaining high morale, good order, discipline and readiness. “More than anything else, it’s about awareness,” Thomasseau said. “It’s not supposed to be ‘let me scrub my office before the next inspection.’ The whole point is to raise awareness so people might think twice before hanging something up at all; or, if something does pop up, a supervisor will know they have

Roughly 3 percent of Tester newspapers are recycled each week; 24,500 copies annually. Tester that he says “spans more than 10 years.” Once all outdated newspapers are collected, roughly 500 each week, they are brought back to Comprint’s Laural, Md., facility for recycling, Rives said. This amounts to approximately 24,500 copies recycled annually. Although this might
seem miniscule, Rives said it saves Comprint $100 per year on the Tester newspaper alone; Comprint is the publisher for all military newspapers within the region. Rives said he also appreciates the additional

The Navy Supply Corps Foundation — Patuxent River Chapter presents a $4,000 donation to the American Cancer Society on July 19, proceeds from its 13th Annual Captain Edward Morgan Memorial Charity Golf Classic held at the Cedar Point Golf Course in May. Capt. Edward Morgan was a Supply Corps Officer stationed at Naval Air Station Patuxent River when he lost his battle to cancer 13 years ago. Since then, military officers, active duty and retired, have come together to pay tribute to their Shipmate and raise money to make a difference in his name. More than 100 players, 20 sponsors and hosts, joined Morgan’s wife, Glenda, his daughter, April, and others at this year’s event.

This week’s best AE1 Beans graduates with honors Pax Pros of the Week are submitted to and selected by the naval air station’s Command Master Chief William Lloyd-Owen. The certificates serve as recognition for the individual’s “hard work and dedication” displayed on a daily basis.

By Donna Cipolloni Tester staff writer It was a long and arduous road, but Aviation Electricians Mate 1st Class Cory Beans finally reached the end of the journey when he graduated with honors from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, July 26. September will mark Beans’ 10th year in the Navy and back in 2006, with aspirations of becoming a naval officer one day, he began the pursuit to further his education. “I started my college venture in San Diego attending a community college off and on between deployments from 2006 to 2010,” Beans explained. “After transferring to [Naval Air Station Patuxent River], I contacted Embry-Riddle to transfer the credits I’d accumulated and start their Bachelors of Science in Technical Management degree program.” Beans, who is assigned to Fleet Readiness Center MidAtlantic, was a Sailor by day and a student by night — and did his best to be a husband to his wife, Jessica, and a dad to their two boys, Aiden and Corbin, 5 and 2 years old respectively. However, as his wife explained, pursuing his degree while on active duty impacted the family in more ways than one, from financial sacrifices to the amount of personal time they could spend together. “It wasn’t always easy,” Jessica said. “His classes were in the evenings and often on Saturdays. Many nights after work he’d have to go straight upstairs to do schoolwork or go straight to class, and there were many conflicts with social events where he’d have to leave early or miss them. He’s the one who actually sacrificed the most.” Beans sees things differently. “Jessica has made this momentous achievement possible,” he said. “She picked up the slack in the household duties, parenting events and the everyday whirlwind when I was unable to assist due to academic commitments. And my boys had to give up valuable daddy time so that this could be done.” Beans is the first member of his family to have graduated college and Jessica knows his accomplishment will have an impact on their own family. “[Our sons] are old enough to understand what daddy has done,” she said. “They saw how hard he worked and I believe his dedication has instilled in them the importance of sacrificing for what you want to achieve. Their dad is their hero and I believe their seeing him in his cap and gown at such an impressionable age will be a powerful image for them.” When asked what advice he’d give other Sailors considering pursuing a degree, Beans said that while there may be sacrifice up front, in the end, a degree can only help you to grow personally and professionally, opening doors for

Beans earned his degree after seven years of juggling evening classes, deployments and family. officer programs and earning points toward advancement. “The knowledge you’ll gain will be instrumental in your ability to lead your Sailors better and make you more of an asset to your command,” he said. “Also, when you decide to depart the military, your experience coupled with a college degree will be a very effective self-marketing tool and can open doors to great careers.” Now that he’s earned his degree — something he’d always wanted to do — Beans looks forward to some personal freedom. “I finally have time to spend with my family, which is very important to me,” he said. “My wife and boys mean the world to me and, as a family, we just accomplished one
Slip, slop, slap and wrap: Sun safety keeps burns at bay By Patrick Gordon Naval District Washington Waterline writer Summer is well underway bringing more and more people outside to enjoy outdoor activities. Whether that means going to the beach, camping in the woods or working in the yard, safety must be kept in mind to keep injuries at a minimum. One threat that may be overlooked though looms all day: the sun. Clear skies and warm temperatures expected through the end of the week will bring a lot of people out to enjoy the weather, but precaution must be taken when dealing with the sun’s rays. “Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap on sunglasses whenever you go outdoors,” cautioned Mindy Ashton, a registered nurse with the Naval Health Clinic Patuxent River’s health promotion and wellness department. And the younger one is taught these simple steps, the better, Ashton said. “One in five children will grow up to get skin cancer,” she added. “Don’t let your child be the one. Begin lifelong sun protection habits.” The U.S. Navy Safety Center has a number of resources available to help prevent over exposure to the sun. Among
them is the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Sun Wise” action plan for sun safety and education. According to Sun Wise, not only can overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun result in painful sunburn, “it can also lead to more serious health problems, premature aging of the skin, cataracts and other eye damage, and immune system suppression.” To avoid problems associated with sun overexposure, the Sun Wise action plan advises against staying in the sun for extended periods of time and to never use tanning beds due to their UV radiation risk. And, as Ashton said, slop on sunscreen to all exposed skin. Sun Wise recommends doing so 15 minutes before going outside and then reapplying every two hours and after swimming or sweating. Additionally, sunscreen should have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30 and provide broad-spectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. But, even with sunscreen applied, further protection should be taken such as wearing a shirt, hat and sunglasses when outdoors, Ashton said. Another important step is to become familiar with the UV index, according to Sun Wise. This provides important information on the strength of the sun’s harmful rays to help plan outdoor activities in ways that prevent sun over-

The UV Index forecast is issued daily by the National Weather Service and EPA. This is especially important for those with children, since children, especially infants, are at greater risk for overexposure to UV radiation.

Hurricane season is upon us and so is the heat! I hope everyone enjoys a safe summer while also preparing for any serious weather that may come to our area. To be a ready Navy, everyone needs to stay informed. ReadyNavy.gov is a helpful way for Sailors and their family to get information and be prepared before, during and after a disaster. The Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) is another valuable tool that leaders use to quickly account for their Sailors and families. In May, a hurricane exercise (HURREX) called Citadel Gale 13 was held throughout Naval District Washington to put our readiness to the test. It also looked at our commu-
nications and accountability system. The exercise revealed that access to NFAAS via a desktop work computer was sporadic and that not enough Sailors were aware of the NFAAS mobile app or NFAAS mobile website. We recognize that intermittent availability of NFAAS makes it a less than effective means of accountability and Navy leaders are working to resolve that issue. But, Sailors can still use the NFAAS mobile app and NFAAS mobile website as a means of helping with accountability even when NMCI is having problems. IPhone users can download the NFAAS app onto their mobile device from the Apple App Store. An app is being developed for other smartphones. All smartphone users, including those with iPhones, can access the NFAAS mobile website by going to https://navyfamily.navy.mil on their phone. The mobile website is a minimized ver-

Energy Saving Tip: Share the Air Keep air vents clean by ensuring furniture and other items are away from heating and cooling vents — both supply and return. Restricted airflow causes inefficient operation, reduced comfort, increased noise and decreased reliability of heating and cooling systems.

This month is the first of the Fleet and Family Support Center’s (FFSC) monthly “Money Talks Corner,” an outlet where anonymous readers from around the installation can get answers to various financial questions. While subjects can include credit, debt, home ownership, money management, retirement, estate planning and more, questions selected for response will be those that are most helpful and relative to the largest group of people. About me I have been the Personal Financial Manager at the FFSC since October 2011, helping service members, their families and retirees. I provide education, counseling, information and referrals to military personnel, their families and commands to increase personal, family and operational readiness. A primary means of providing this is to train, educate and support Command Financial Specialists (CFS) in each command. They in turn serve as the command’s principal advisor on policies and matters related to personal financial issues. My educational background includes a Master in Finance with a concentration in Personal Financial Planning. I have completed the course work and testing for Certified Financial Planner and have met the requirements for Accredited Financial Counselor. During the last 10 years of my 26 year Navy career, I served as the Command Special Assistant for Personal Finance to commanding officers. What’s your question? The article is scheduled to run the last Tester issue of each month. Submit questions to james.walsh1.ctr@navy. mil and include “Money Talks Question” in the subject line. This training is for active-duty service members who have been assigned to “sponser” another active-duty service member slated to arrive at this duty location.

RECYCLE
Continued from 1 benefits recycling the newspapers brings, such as helping with “environmental concerns.” As a publisher, multiplying the number of newspapers that Comprint prints could amount to substantial savings, not including the space saved from dumping at landfills, he said. Rives said Comprint also meets the Maryland Department of Environment’s mandate of printing on 40 percent content paper use; the Tester is printed on 40 percent recycled stock. “We are working smart to improve the environment while ensuring good business practices,” he said. At Pax, customers can join in the recycling efforts with paper, plastic and more by utilizing any of the four sites available for recyclables: across from the Navy Exchange on Cuddihy Road, parking lot of building 407, Shaw Road just south of the circle, and adjacent to the recycling center off of Tate Road. Each site has a trailer with sections for paper, aluminum and steel cans, glass and plastic bottles; a cardboard dumpster and a newspaper dumpster.
Thursday, August 1, 2013
All satellite sites are available 24/7. The Base Recycling Center off of Whalen Road in building 604 is open from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays. Bulk metal items are only accepted after the customer has certified that it is scrap and can be turned in for recycling. All items that contain oils, coolants or gases must have documentation showing they have been properly drained/purged before they can be turned in as scrap. No bulk items are permitted at the sites nor should any material be left on the ground. So far this year, the Base Recycling Center has averaged 71.2 tons of recyclables per month. These items have included office paper, cardboard, newspaper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, glass bottles, steel cans, toner cartridges and scrap metals. The center provides weekly recycling services for 195 buildings located through the installation, Webster Outlying Field and Navy Recreation Center Solomons. New military employees assigned to Pax are briefed during their in-processing by representatives of the Recycling Center on a monthly basis on the recycling options on base. So, the question at the Tester is: “To recycle or not?” Well, the answer is an emphatic — yes!

Nestled in a safe secure area on 100+ acres in St. Mary’s county, this estate has everything you can imagine from the horse barns and stables to waterfront. Located on a protected Creek inlet from the Chesapeake Bay with an abundance of crabs and oysters. Property was built in 2010, with the aristocrat in mind with luxury in everything, (4 bedroom 5 baths) yet with the survival mentality of home generators, emergency water supplies, food, and hunting geese, deer, turkeys, rabbits, etc. Property has a natural beauty of flat open fields, not usually found in Maryland.
