Fourth of July, the all-American holiday Navy style

By Eric Sesit NWS Public Affairs

After a delicious meal of burgers and hot dogs, what better way to work off those calories than to engage in a sumo-wrestling match.

Burgers, hot dogs, lemonade, home-made ice cream, and a cool dip on a hot summer day. Follow it up with watermelon and a spectacular fireworks show and you have the makings for an all-American Fourth of July.

As in years past, Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Charleston will hold its annual Freedom Fest, July 2nd at Marrington Plantation onboard NWS Charleston, just off of Red Bank Road. What orginally began as a simple July 4th picnic many years ago, has morphed into one of the best celebrations in the area.

According to MWR spokesman David Holt, this year’s Freedom Fest has something for everyone. “Besides the traditional Fourth of July foods, we’ll have exciting games and activities for the entire family.

“In addition to the inflatable jump castles and slides, we’ll have sumo suit wrestling, jousting tournaments and, new for this year, is the hot air balloon rides.”

The balloon rides will be available depending on weather conditions. Riders can expect to board the gondola and be lifted about 30 - 50 feet above the ground.

“The balloon will be tethered to the ground, so you won’t float off and miss the fireworks show,” Holt said.

The highlight of any Fourth of July celebration is the fireworks and this year will be no exception with the fireworks display beginning at approximately 9:00 p.m. There is plenty of free parking inside the plantation and the gates open at 5:00 p.m. Admission is free and attendees should bring their lawn chairs and blankets as well as some insect repellent.

If you miss the fireworks at Marrington Plantation, you can still enjoy all the upcoming holiday weekend has to offer by heading over to Short Stay, the Navy’s Recreational facility on Lake Moultrie. Although it’s a good bet that the campground and cabins will be full, you and your family can enjoy an evening of Karaoke July 2 from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. On

Bring the entire family for one of the best shows in town, Freedom Fest, July 2 at Marringon Plantation.

Saturday, July 3, there will be a street dance from 7:00 11:00 p.m. as well as a fireworks display at approximately 9:00 p.m. And on Sunday, there will be a free showing of Alice in Wonderland beginning at dark. There is an admission fee to enter Short Stay: $1.00 per person, 50 cents for children six - 13, and free for kids five and younger.

What’s the rush?

Every morning it’s as if the Daytona speedway has come to Goose Creek. I’m always amazed at how fast some people will drive in order to get to work on time. I’m not naïve enough to believe it’s because so many of you actually enjoy coming to work every morning. I can understand the rush to get out of Dodge at the end of the day, but 7:00 a.m. is no time to run the Indy 500.

Actually, I’m surprised we don’t have more accidents around here than we do. A few hotspots I have noticed that cause trouble are the merge from two lanes to one on Redbank Rd. The folks in the left lane hang tight, barely keeping enough room between bumpers to slide a piece of paper through in order to not let the folks in the right lane merge. And the folks in the right lane, well they have two choices; slow down and merge left

when the coast is clear, or stomp on the gas and try to beat everyone off the light to get ahead of them. And unless your driving a Porsche, like someone I know who works here, you’re not going to beat the line of cars already in the left lane. This is an accident waiting to happen. One of the nice things about living in this area is that people are considerate of other drivers…when they want to be. Use a little patience and allow people to merge when they need to.

Another hot spot is the entrance to the base at the end of Redbank Road. The object of the gate is to provide security. It is not a pit stop where you can drive up at 50 miles per hour and slam on breaks, scaring the bejeebies out of the Security force on duty. In order to curb speeders at the gate, we’ve installed two signals that tell you exactly how fast you are going as you approach the gate. The speed limit is 15 miles per hour. I know that seems slow, but the gates are busy with construction traffic, turnarounds, routine deliveries and people just trying to get to work. We will be monitoring these areas closely. Be warned. Slow down!

We are well into summer now in case you haven’t noticed the sweat rolling off your brow. It’s hot and it’s humid and it is only going to get hotter during the next few months.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to work in an air conditioned building

all day, and some of us have to be out in the heat. A typical Lowcountry weather forecast that you will hear from now until September is hazy, hot and humid with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. I’m not going to offer my opinions on global warming, but I will offer this piece of advice. Take it easy! Drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest and watch your coworkers for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you’re new to this area, take time to get acclimated to the heat before going out and running five miles. Exercise in the mornings or late evenings when it’s cooler and start off slow. Listen to your body. If you don’t, you’ll probably end up in the emergency room with an IV drip in your arm to get you rehydrated.

One final thought: Bravo Zulu to everyone who did not go out drinking and driving during the first two weeks of the 101 Deadly Days of Summer. NWS had zero alcohol related incidents. There will always be people out there who think they can beat the system. To them I say you are endangering yourselves and your families as well as every other person on the road with you. You will get caught, probably sooner than later. Don’t be a statistic and please, don’t make me or anyone else one.

Take Care, CDR Gary Martin

You’re not alone — suicide prevention awareness The overwhelming sensation of being trapped with no way out, hopelessness and depression may consume a Sailor’s life.

These emotions may trigger anger, bitter suppressed thoughts, excessive use of alcohol and can even cause people to distance themselves from loved ones, friends, companions and even work. These are just a few warnings signs to look for... a red flashing light that may be that person’s last.

Naval Weapons Station Charleston continually reaches out a helping hand making it known to young Sailors that during times of need, someone is there to help.

“Suicide prevention is everybody’s responsibility. Suicide doesn’t discriminate and it affects people of any age, rank, race, or gender,” said Becky Bowers, Fleet and Family Support Center, life skills coordinator. “When a person takes their own life, everybody suffers—family members, command, friends, and the community.”

According to Navy Personnel Command, 13 active-duty personnel and three reserve personnel have committed suicide since January 2010, four active-duty members in May alone.

Navy statistics shows little change in suicides from 2001 to 2009. However, numbers show that in 2009, 46 Sailors took their own life as compared to 2005 when there were 37.

Although the Navy’s suicide death toll pales in comparison to the 33,300 suicides (Center for Disease Control) committed nationally, suicide prevention and awareness is even more important as service members face long and stressful deployments.

If a shipmate is showing signs of depression or suicide, reach out to them. Let them know that someone cares and inform them that there is help available—ACT (Ask, Care, and Treat). There are many avenues to get Sailors the help they need: command Chaplains, Fleet and Family Support Center counselors, corpsmen and the suicide hotline.

“Every threat of suicide or actual suicidal ideation is taken seriously. Anyone who encounters someone contemplating suicide has a great deal of resources at their disposal to assist them in providing the appropriate level of care,” said Chief Religious Program Specialist Stephen Walz.

By MC1(SW/AW) Jennifer Hudson NWS Public Affairs “People are our most important asset. It’s crucial for everyone in the chain of command to take time, not only to educate them, but to respond to individuals who may be ready to take their own lives,” Walz continued.

The key to success in suicide prevention is to be proactive and educate all-hands. Recognize the warning signs, understand the risks involved, know what resources are available to help a troubled person and never ignore any threats that indicate suicide.

“We have all seen the Navy training videos on suicide and most people forget the information as soon as the video stops,” said NWS Charleston Executive Officer Lt. Steven Janicki. “With an issue so important everyone needs to remember that they can be the last line of defense in the battle to save someone’s life, they just need to speak up.”

Myth: “Getting help will make me to lose my clearance.”

Truth: Less than 2% of revoked or denied clearances are for psychological problems. In the vast majority of situations, getting counseling or treatment is an indicator of the good reliability and judgment required for clearances. Failure to seek help and allowing problems to get worse and start to impact performance, conduct and finances, is more likely to lead to clearance loss. With changes in April 2008, marital, family, or grief counseling (not related to violence by the applicant and unless the treatment was court-ordered) and any counseling for post-combat deployment concerns are not required to be reported on the security clearance form SF 86. While other counseling or psychological treatment is reported by the applicant on the SF 86 form and leads to an extra step in the clearance process, this very rarely results in denial or revocation of clearance.

Myth: “Sailors who talk about suicide won’t really do it.”

Truth: Almost everyone who commits or attempts suicide has given some clue or warning. Do not ignore suicide threats. Statements like “you’ll be sorry when I’m dead,” “I

can’t see any way out,” — no matter how casually or jokingly said may indicate serious suicidal feelings.

New systems make military moves more efficient and user friendly

By Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service With the busiest season for permanent-change-of-station moves under way, officials at U.S. Transportation Command are encouraging servicemembers to take advantage of new systems designed to make the process more convenient and efficient.

Transcom launched the new Personally Procured Move, or PPM system to better compensate servicemembers who personally move their household goods on military orders, said Dolly Davidson, a change management outreach specialist at Transcom. PPM replaced the “Do It Yourself,” or DITY, move system.

Under PPM, servicemembers can receive up to 95 percent of what it would cost the government to move their goods using a commercial carrier. They can hire a commercial mover if they choose, move some or all of their goods themselves, and pocket any savings they receive.

While converting to PPM, Transcom also introduced a

new system, the Defense Personal Property System, to process and manage household moves.

DPS is a computerized management system for moving the household goods of military members and DoD civilians, Davidson explained. DPS automates pre-move counseling, scheduling, tracking, invoicing and claims-filing for household goods shipments, eliminating the need for servicemembers to schedule their household goods moves face-to-face, she said.

“In DTS, you can go in 24/7, you can counsel yourself, you can put in your shipment and move arrangements, and everything else is done automatically,” she said. “You can do it from your laptop, from your work station, even your living room couch. And you can track your shipments online, too.”

Unlike the legacy paper-based system it replaces, DPS is equipped to process moves servicemembers make themselves – which constitute the vast majority of moves.

DPS is a big money-saver for the government, not only reducing PCS processing costs, but also generating lower cost estimates from many moving companies, said Roland Amos, chief of the DPS functional and requirements branch at Transcom.

That’s a big factor for the military, which spends about $2 billion a year for more than 550,000 household moves, Transcom reported.

Now, Davidson added, with the legacy system expected to remain operational until December along with DPS, her mission is to encourage servicemembers to choose DPS to process their moves. Transcom officials encourage servicemembers to register their household-move experiences through a new online customer service survey found at www.move.mil. The results will be used to help the command select the best-performing moving companies for future military moves, Davidson said.

New firearms policy released The Navy announced a policy change regarding personal firearms to consolidate and clarify the requirements for those who own these weapons.

The NAVADMIN detailing the new policy is available at www.persnet.navy.mil/NR/rdonlyres/BCB24 012-BC52-4E88-B20FA509B1C744B7/0/NAV10196.txt.

The change to OPNAVINST 5530.14E came after a review of existing policy indicated that there were inconsistencies in the way personal firearm regulations were enacted across the fleet, according to Rear Adm. Arthur J. Johnson, Commander, Naval Safety Center.

However, he emphasized that the policy change should not make life more difficult for those who choose to own weapons.

“This policy is more of a clarification than a change,” said Johnson. “It’s not meant to make

Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen visits SSC Atlantic

By SPAWAR Public Affairs

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), visited Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic June 3.

The admiral spoke to SSC Atlantic employees in the main engineering center, thanking them — and the entire center team via video teleconference — for its various contributions to warfighter readiness. The admiral also visited the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) integration facility to congratulate the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (MATV) integration team for the recent milestone of completing the 5,000th M-ATV installation.

“The reputation you have is superb,” Mullen told a group of more than 600 SSC Atlantic employees assembled in the atrium of the main engineering center on the Charleston campus. “You are delivering critical capabilities to the fleet, to Marines, and to joint customers. I just wanted to come here to tell you how much I appreciate what you do. I believe you are no different – from the standpoint of your dedication, patriotism and support to our nation – from those who wear the uniform,” the admiral added.

The admiral toured the SSC Atlantic M-ATV integration facility where command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) equipment is installed in the M-ATVs. These vehicles are then shipped to Afghanistan to aid the soldiers and Marines on their daily patrols. SSC Atlantic is responsible for the prototyping, testing, integration, installation and quality

assurance of all advanced C4I equipment on the M-ATVs. “I came here with one singular thought in mind, and that is to express my gratitude for what you do,” the admiral told the MRAP and M-ATV C4I integrators.

“Every time I have made a trip in theater, a soldier has come to me and said, ‘keep the MRAPS and MATVs coming. They save our lives. Tell them back home thank you,’ You have made an incredible difference to those in the fight, and to their families. We can always depend on people like you to meet the challenge, whatever it is, so I thank you,” Mullen said.

The M-ATV answers an urgent and compelling requirement to protect warfighters with a highly survivable, offroad capable vehicle. The M-ATV mission is for small unit combat operations in highly restricted rural, mountainous and urban environments that include mounted patrols, reconnaissance, security, convoy protection and communications.

As chairman of the JCS, Mullen is the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. armed forces and the president’s principal military advisor. As such, he presides over all meetings and coordinates the efforts of the JCS. He also advises the secretary of defense, the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council.

SSC Atlantic has integrated nearly 16,000 MRAP vehicles and over 5,000 M-ATVs. More than 8,000 M-ATVs – he next generation of MRAPs – have been authorized.

“There isn’t a trip I’ve taken into [Iraq and Afghanistan] where some young soldier or Marine won’t say to me, ‘keep those MRAPs coming. They save our lives,’” Mullen said. “[MRAPs] saved countless lives, and believe me, there’s not anyone on the ground over there who understands the threat that doesn’t know that’s exactly the case.”

Mullen also lauded the civilian workforce here for doing their part in service to the nation. They may not wear military uniforms or deploy to war, but their contributions to improving national security is noteworthy in its own way, he said.

“You’re as patriotic and dedicated with focusing on achieving our mission in national defense as any of us who wear the uniform,” he said. “You are no different, in my perspective, in terms of your dedication, you patriotism in support of our country and our mission than anybody in uniform.”

Fuel savings tips for better mileage Small steps do make a difference.

Often, we don’t believe that one person can have much impact on total energy consumption. But in reality, when each of us makes our own contribution, no matter how little it may appear to be, the cumulative effect can become enormous.

The average passenger car is driven about 12,000 miles per year and uses approximately 500 gallons of gas over that distance (based on an EPA rating of 24 mpg). If each passenger car was to get an extra two miles per gallon, the total number of gallons of gasoline saved each year would be five billion gallons. The following are a few tips to help save on fuel use: Drive smoothly: Slow down gradually, rather than jamming on the brakes, then accelerate slowly. You can save as much as two miles per gal-

lon. Plus it reduces wear on your brakes.

When driving on the highway, use your cruise control to maintain a steady speed.

Remove unnecessary heavy items from your car. Every 100 pounds extra costs you about half a mile per gallon.

Keep the tires of your car or truck properly inflated. For every pound per square inch (psi) below the proper level there is an average increase of 0.4 percent in fuel consumption; as little as four pounds under pressure can reduce your mileage by 10 percent.

Ride a bike or walk to work, to the local neighborhood store or to a nearby friend’s home.

Don’t start your car until you’re ready to move; idling engines waste gas. If you are idling for more than one minute turn the engine off.

Fixing a car that is out of tune can improve gas mileage by 4 percent.

Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.

You can improve your gas mileage by one to two percent by using the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil. Using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by one to two percent.

Observe the speed limit—each five miles per hour (mph) you drive over 60 mph can reduce your fuel economy by 10 percent.

Contact the Utilities and Energy Office if you would like additional Photo by MC1(SW/AW) Jennifer Hudson information. (843) 764-4478.

Make the most of each fill-up by making some very simple changes to your driving style.

Bachelor housing Bachelor housing welcomes our newest member to our team, AE2 (AW) Sean Johnson. Prior to arriving at Naval Weapons Station Charleston, Petty Officer Johnson was stationed at Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light (HSL37) in Hawaii. His experience and expertise will play a vital role within bachelor housing division. Shipmate, welcome to our team!

Congratulations are also extended to SH2 (SW) Eldrin Walthall, Bachelor Housing Leading Petty Officer. Petty Officer Walthall was selected as Naval Weapons Station Outstanding Technical Assistant. He was also nominated for the Federal Employee Associate Award. He is an outstanding Sailor and represented Naval Weapons Station Charleston well. Good job Shipmate. Keep up the good work!

The bachelor housing staff strives to provide the highest quality of service and comfortable and secure homes to Naval Weapons Station Charleston and our supported commands. Naval Weapons Station Charleston and Bachelor Housing provide total quality service to bachelor housing residents on a continuous basis and apply the highest standards of cleanliness, conduct and accountability for the overall well being of all its residents. An individual’s morale and working effectiveness are directly related to the habitability, material condition, and cleanliness of all the quarters assigned. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the BH Director Bob Ladue, BH Manager, SHC (SW/AW) Anderson, or SH2 (SW) Walthall, Leading Petty Officer at (843) 764-7646/4144. Have a great Navy day!

County has a non-profit organization called Habitat for Humanity. Some of the quality programs they are involved with include providing homes and a variety of used furniture to include beds, curios, washer/dryers, at a huge discounted price to families in the Lowcountry in need of these services.

They also help build houses for the less fortunate. It is a program where selected members help not only build homes but other homes for selected members of the program. Local businesses provide furnishing and building products at a discounted price and it is passed directly on to the fortunate families that have been selected to receive the home. As a consumer, you can donate furniture and appliances in good working condition and write it off on your taxes.

Most of the volunteer staff is retired so the young Sailors that participate provide a “youthful” shot in the arm to all the folks at Habitat for Humanity and they have expressed how much it really is appreciated. SH2 Heber Tucker, SH2 James Ebron, SH2 Henry Polanco, MM3 John Ohearn, SH3 Charles Thompson and I volunteered on April 8, 2010, and we had no idea the level of work that is accomplished every day with so few volunteers! Kathy Cotterill, one of the managers from Habitat for Humanity, mentioned they need help from the local community through volunteers on a daily basis. Our day was non-stop from the time we arrived until knock-off at the end of the day. Something I did not know was Directorate of Transitional Personnel (DTP) provides Sailors to the warehouse daily to assist them. At the end of the day it was obvious to me and all the other members of the Housing department, the satisfaction you get from helping out those in need.

This is another outstanding program where we, the service members of Naval Weapons Station Charleston, can be present and on call every day of the week including weekends, helping out in our local community.

Balfour Beatty communities The Annual CEL Housing Survey time is upon us once again! We have planned a fun-family evening on Thursday, June 24th, to help kick off our CEL Survey. Please join us for a “Luau – Southern Style”! There will be food, prizes, waterslides, jump castles, kiddie pools and a dunk tank. Yes, that’s right – come on out and dunk your favorite Balfour Beatty employee! The fun starts at 5:30 p.m. and there will be something for everyone. Parents, make sure your children have on their bathing suits and don’t forget the towels. Prizes will be given for the best luau costume, so get out those grass skirts and tropical shirts and join the fun!

Be sure to stop by the Balfour Beatty table at the Freedom Fest on July 2nd. We will have a drawing for an awesome grill and prizes for the kids.

We appreciate that you have chosen to call Balfour Beatty Communities at NWS Charleston home, and encourage you to refer your friends to our lovely community! If you refer a friend and they move in, you will receive a check for $200!

Such an easy way to earn some extra vacation dollars!
