EODC Jason Jordan, left, assigned to EOD Mobile Unit 12 Dahlgren Detachment, received the Bronze Star for his “exceptionally meritorious” service while assigned to Sea Air Land (SEAL) Team Four in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. During Jordan’s deployment, he served as platoonlevel senior EOD technician and EOD team leader, participating in 75 combat reconnaissance patrols. “Petty Officer Jordan’s initiative and skill resulted in the disposal by detonation of 25 victim-operated [improvised explosive devices] and the recovery of components that could be exploited for future targeting,” said Lt. Sam Massey, right, officer-in-charge of EODMU12 Dahlgren Detachment.
Ospreys nesting across NSASP By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer The ospreys’ familiar song is once again echoing across Naval Support Facilities (NSFs) Dahlgren and Indian Head as nesting season brings the majestic birds of prey in close proximity with humans. Both installations maintain property along the Potomac River and a tidal creek, Machodoc Creek at Dahlgren and Mattawoman Creek at Indian Head. With much of those shorelines relatively undeveloped, the bases serve as prime real estate for nesting ospreys. It is now a common-and exhilarating-sight to see ospreys swooping after fish at Dahlgren and Indian Head, but it wasn’t always so. The osprey population suffered a steep decline from the 1950s to the 1970s attributed to the use of DDT pesticide, which caused the eggs of many types of exposed birds to be thin, weak and prone to breakage. Exposure to toxins persisted even after DDT was banned in the United States in 1972 because use of the pesticide continued in parts of South America, where many of the Chesapeake Bay’s ospreys overwinter. Though problematic, the more limited exposure to DDT did not prevent a dramatic rebound in the region’s osprey population. Osprey restoration was so successful in the Chesapeake
Bay that many birds were re-located to coastal areas of New Jersey and New York, where the osprey population was more seriously imperiled. Today, as many as one quarter of the ospreys found in the continental United States nest along the Chesapeake Bay. Seth Berry, natural resources manager at NSF Indian Head, described the population turnaround over the past few decades as a “true success story in conservation.” NSF Indian Head is home to roughly 30 to 40 nesting osprey pairs. “This varies depending on the number of ospreys in the area and available nesting habitat and territory,” said Berry. “However, I’ve noticed a steady increase in nesting pairs in the last few years and would guess that it will continue to increase.” An average of 20 nesting osprey pairs return to NSF Dahlgren annually, with many pairs returning to the exact spot year after year. Nesting ospreys in Dahlgren seem to have a particular affinity for man-made structures such as flag poles and antennae arrays, though they also nest in trees and even on the ground. While it is not always easy for personnel assigned to the Potomac River Test Range at Dahlgren to work around the nests, man and bird coexist peaceably. “Ospreys and vir-

Naval bases provide over 11,000 jobs, $1.4 billion local spending
Dahlgren, Indian Head Drive Local Economies An updated report on the economic impact of Naval Support Facility Dahlgren and Naval Support Facility Indian Head shows that the naval bases in King George County, Va. and Charles County, Md. respectively generated over $1.4 billion funneled directly into local economies in the form of payroll dollars and defense contracts during fiscal year 2012.
The report also details current employment at both naval bases, which totaled over 11,000 people at the beginning of 2013. NSF Dahlgren currently employs over 7,600 people. The bulk of the workforce consists of 4,729 federal civilian employees working for nearly 20 separate military commands and supporting organizations located on the installation.
An additional 381 military personnel are stationed at the base in a permanent duty status. Over 2,500 defense contractor employees who also work on the installation round out the workforce. The updated economic impact summary for NSF Dahlgren looked at the last completed fiscal year for the federal government - fiscal year 2012 - which ran from October 2011
through September 2012. In that accounting period, the combined payroll for federal civilian employees and military personnel alone totaled over $511 million. An additional $594 million in defense contract spending was allocated to companies in the local

Spring Events at NSF Indian Head
US Navy photos by Amy Boyd
The weather warmed up and it almost looked like spring for the annual Easter Eggstravaganza at Indian Head. MWR and Lincoln Military Housing partnered to host the event this year and over 350 patrons showed up to enjoy the day. Children of all ages participated in an exciting hunt for thousands of hidden Easter Eggs. They enjoyed pictures with the Easter Bunny, got their faces painted and made crafts. The turnout was incredible and we hope to see everyone again next year. On Monday, the NSF Indian Head General Library celebrated spring break where over 100 people came out this week to join MWR and Lincoln Military Housing in celebrating the Spring Season. Children of all ages enjoyed the ducks, chicks and bunnies at the petting zoo while they patiently waited their turn for a pony ride. Inside the Library several made spring crafts and explored the exciting new books in the kids section. Thank you to all who joined in the fun!

tually all other birds, minus a few, are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act,” said Thomas “Doc” Wray II, natural resources manager at NSF Dahlgren. With special permission, inactive nests that pose a safety hazard or impede missions are sometimes removed. Inactive nests are nests with no eggs, chicks or recently fledged young birds in the vi-
cinity, said Wray. But protecting ospreys is more than a regulatory issue. “The significance attached to protecting species and keeping them off rare species lists is the role they play in ecosystem dynamics,” said Wray. “They are one of the most widely distributed raptor species around the world due in large part to their ability to tolerate humans and their activity.” Ospreys are found on every continent except Antarctica. Closable nostrils allow the birds to dive completely
under the water in pursuit of fish, while reversible outer “thumbs” and backwardfacing scales on the talons prevent slippery prey from escaping. Base activities do not seem to bother ospreys in the least, whether it is range testing or outdoor military ceremonies. It was the latter category of activity that produced a Dahlgren legend involving a crudely oblivious osprey. Some years ago, an admiral was addressing a crowd at a military ceremony next to Machodoc Creek when an osprey regurgi-
tated something resembling a fish onto his shoulder as it flew by. The admiral, with all the military bearing of a seasoned naval officer, brushed off the osprey’s “gift” and continued his speech without missing a beat, to the astonishment and amusement of the crowd. The ospreys’ fascinating, majestic and sometimes gross displays of nature up close will, with luck and good stewardship, be a fixture at Dahlgren and Indian Head for years to come.

region encompassing Virginia’s Planning District 16 - which includes Fredericksburg and Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline and King George Counties - and southern Maryland, pumping a total of more than $1.1 billion into surrounding communities. The updated economic report for NSF Dahlgren also analyzes where the base workforce lives. Information available on 4,405 federal civilian employees and military personnel working at Dahlgren shows that over 1,770 people (40 percent) live in King George County. Most of the remaining workforce is spread between Spotsylvania County (769 people, 17 percent), the City of Fredericksburg (481 people, 10.9 percent) and Stafford County (474 people, 10.7 percent). Over 300 civilian employees and military personnel working at NSF Dahlgren commute from points in southern Maryland. They account for nearly 7 percent of the base’s workforce. By comparison, NSF Indian Head currently employs over 3,400 people. The bulk of the workforce consists of 2,378 federal civilian employees working for a dozen separate military commands and supporting organizations located on the installation. An additional 615 military personnel are stationed at the base in a permanent duty status. Over 400 defense contractor employees who also work on the installation round out the workforce. With all but one military command on base reporting for fiscal year 2012, the combined payroll for fed-
eral civilian employees and military personnel alone totaled over $289 million. An additional $12 million in defense contract spending was allocated to companies in southern Maryland. While fiscal year 2012 data was not available for the Joint Interoperability Test Command located at NSF Indian Head, the organization accounted for an additional $7.5 million in federal civilian payroll and
another $22.8 million in local defense contract spending in the previous fiscal year. The updated economic report for NSF Indian Head also analyzes where the base workforce lives. Information available on 2,511 federal civilian employees and military personnel working at Indian Head shows that over 1,796 people (71 percent) live in Charles County. Most of
the remaining workforce is spread between Prince Georges County (225 people, 8.9 percent) and St. Mary’s County (155 people, 6 percent). Over 163 civilian employees and military personnel working at NSF Indian Head commute from points in Virginia. They account for 6.5 percent of the base’s workforce.

2013 Sotterley Speaker Series

Yockelson, of the Archival Recovery Team and Federal Special Agent Tremaglio will tell their first-hand account of how Barry Landau and his co-conspirator Jason Savedoff violated the trust of the archival profession by posing as professional researchers in order to steal over 10,000 objects of cultural heritage.

In July, 2011 the pair was finally caught while on an expedition at The Maryland Historical Society.

Safety Tips for Pedestrians and Joggers
As a pedestrian jogger, you are at a major disadvantage when crossing streets, intersections and standing on corners. You are not always visible to drivers; especially for large truck and bus drivers and you don’t stand a chance if a vehicle hits you. Pedestrians and joggers need to be careful of all vehicles and never take chances when they are sharing the road with large vehicles, like trucks and buses. Here are some safety tips that can keep you safe when traveling from one destination to another.
Dahlgren Commissary
Fast Facts Commissaries look to minimize effects of sequestration
The Defense Commissary Agency is thoughtfully developing its plan to minimize the impact of sequestration on commissary patrons, should furloughs be implemented. If the Department of Defense implements furloughs, commissaries are likely to close one day per week, in addition to their current operating schedule. While there will be definite impacts to commissary patrons - and certainly to employees - if furloughs are implemented, the principles guiding DeCA’s planning efforts are to lessen the impacts of sequestration wherever it can. Because the agency’s planning for sequestration is fluid and subject to change, commissary patrons can quickly find out about any changes to their local store’s operating schedule by using www. commissaries.com. The “Locations” link and subsequent “Alphabetical Listing” leads them to their “Local Store Information” page.
Commissaries celebrate April Month of Military Child
April is the Month of the Military Child, and your commissary is celebrating with giveaways and savings for the whole family - pets included! “Children in military households face unique challenges because of the demands of military life,” said Joyce Chandler, DeCA’s acting sales director. “So, at the Defense Commissary Agency, we want to acknowledge them and do all we can to provide their families with great values on quality products they can depend upon.” DeCA’s industry partners - vendors, suppliers and brokers - are collaborating with commissaries in April to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local commissary for details on dates and times of the promotions in their stores. “As we honor the Month of the Military Child, don’t miss out on these opportunities to save even more,” Chandler said. “For everyone in the family, the commissary is always worth the trip.” For promotion details, visit http://www. commissaries.com/press_room.
Commissaries selected fruits, veggies champions
The Defense Commissary Agency has been chosen by the Produce for Better Health Foundation as one of their retail fruits and veggies champions for 2012. Every year, Produce for Better Health names the top retailers that supported their “Fruits & Veggies - More Matters” national campaign. In 2012, Decca was among 15 retailers chosen as leaders in the produce world. “We take our military’s health very seriously, and supporting this campaign to eat more fruits and vegetables is a great way to get our patrons interested,” said Joseph H. Jeu, DeCA director and CEO. “It also speaks to the commissary’s commitment to provide healthful options for military families.” The Produce for Better Health Foundation measured the agency against criteria such as how DeCA promoted national “Fruits & Veggies - More Matters” Month and supported the campaign through its website, in print and through online circulars. All retailers were evaluated against the same criteria.
Watch Your Walk Ways
Walk on sidewalks and in crosswalks whenever possible. It is important to pay attention to walk signals and keep a safe distance when standing on street corners. Trucks and buses make wide right turns and occasionally run up onto the corner of the sidewalk. It is important for you to be alert and to move back. Mostly likely, the truck driver will not see you or may be distracted and you could be seriously injured or killed if hit.
Know Your No-Zones
Be careful of the blind spots, or No-Zones, around cars, trucks, and buses when walking near or around them. Always assume the driver does not know that you are there. Because of a truck’s large blind spots, a driver may not see, so it is up to you to avoid a crash. Never walk behind a truck when it is backing up; truck drivers cannot see directly behind the truck and could seriously injure you.
Stopping Distances
Use caution when crossing intersections and streets. You may think vehicles will stop for you, but they may not see you or even be able to stop. Remember, trucks, cars, motorcycles and bicyclists, all have different stopping capabilities. In fact, trucks can take much more space to stop than passenger vehicles. Never take a chance with a truck, even if the driver sees you he may not be able to stop.
Make Yourself Visisble
Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially when walking at night. Dressing to be seen will make it safer for you

Second Tour Thrift Store Not Taking Donations
Second Tour Thrift Store is not taking any more dona-
and drivers. Professional drivers do a lot of driving at night, and there’s a good chance a truck driver will not see you if you don’t make yourself visible. Carrying a flashlight is your safest bet for being seen at night.
Watch Out for Wide Loads
Trucks with wide loads have very limited visibility as well as difficulty maneuvering. Wide loads are much heavier and take up lots of room on the road. You need to be aware when near a truck with a wide load, because the driver may not see you. Trucks with wide loads make even wider right turns, require more space, and take even longer to stop than other trucks on the road. Remember to keep your distance when walking around these large trucks.
tions at this time. We appreciate your support and will post announcements when donations will again be accepted. All proceeds from sales at Second Tour are donated to charities in the Dahlgren/King George and surrounding communities, and provide scholarship funds to dependents of military personnel - past and present - stationed on Dahlgren.

NGIS celebrates Navy Lodging Appreciation Day
By Andrew Revelos, Staff Writer
Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) celebrated Navy Lodging Appreciation Day on March 29 with the dedicated employees of the Naval Gateway Inn and Suites at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. Leaders and staff enjoyed lunch together and discussed the staff’s outstanding performance this year, work that helped NGIS achieve a Four-Star Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt rating. Each staff member received a Letter of Appreciation for the team effort that led to the distinguished rating. “This has been a long time coming,” said Tom Kubalewski, program director of Family Fleet and Readiness Programs for Naval Support Activity South Potomac. “It’s been a couple of months since you guys met a very big milestone. This program, the NGIS in Dahlgren, became four-star accredited-something we have been trying to do for many, many years. It was only through the efforts of all of you sitting here-and your other co-workers who could not be with us-that we could achieve this.” The NGIS in Dahlgren met several exacting criteria to achieve four-star rating. “Everything from how well the rooms are cleaned, our customer service, our facilities, to ensuring our training requirements are met, to look-
ing at our financials are moving in a positive direction and that we’re making money,” said Kubalewski. “It encompasses a lot. so it’s each and every one of you who have provided one piece or several pieces that allowed us to get [the four-star rating].” Capt. Pete Nette, Cmdr. Elvis Mikel and Master Chief Petty Officer Jim Honea, the commanding officer, executive officer and command master chief petty officer of NSASP, attended the luncheon with Kubalewski. “We wanted to come here and thank each and every one of you,” said Kubalewski. Kubalewski read a message from First Lady Michelle Obama praising the service of lodging staff across the Navy. “I’m thrilled to offer my sincere congratulations to the Navy Lodging Program,” wrote Obama. “The troops, veterans and military families that serve our country with pride represent what is best about our nation.” Obama praised NGIS staff in the letter for the vital support they provide the military community. “Throughout its history, the Navy Lodging Program has consistently shown it is dedicated to our service members and their families,” she wrote. “This year marked another year of significant accomplishments for the Navy Lodging Program, from Navy Gateway Inns and Suites, to Navy Fisher Houses and Navy Getaways, it is clear why heroes stay with you.

The staff of the Naval Gateway Inn and Suites at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren are all smiles at a luncheon honoring their hard work this year which resulted the NGIS earning a Four-Star Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt. Thank you again and I wish all of you the best.” Nette seconded that praise. “The region really appreciates your hard work and effort,” he told the NGIS staff. “We in [the Navy] have
always stayed at NGISs throughout our careers, but we don’t realize all the hard work it takes to maintain them. [Patrons] go to their room and they expect it to be clean, but they some-
times don’t see all the effort it takes to do that. It is hard to do every day.” From top to bottom, NGIS staff worked tirelessly to improve service, an effort Nette commended.
“You could have stayed the same, but you didn’t,” Nette told the NGIS staff. “You improved, improved, improved and then you got the four-star rating. It’s very, very appreciated.”
