The Navy base that began in 1918 as the Lower Station, Dahlgren Naval Proving Ground is turning 95 years old this year. On October 16, the 95th anniversary of the first gunfiring at what is now Naval Support Facility Dahlgren will occur and a number of events are planned. Base employees will be able to celebrate with a Parade Field event on Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. The event will combine the yearly Diversity Day Celebration with historical exhibits, a live performance from the Electric Brigade Band from the U.S. Naval Academy, and a performance from the Ceremony Guard from the Washington Navy Yard. Historic tours of the base will also be available for employees, who must reserve a seat in advance to participate. The celebration will begin with three Brown Bag Lunch/Speaker Series
events. All will feature former Dahlgren residents and employees reflecting on their lives at Dahlgren growing up here, working here, and their memories of Dahlgren. On Sept. 11 at the Community House, former employees and current area residents Jack Meyers and
Leon Lysher will join Ed Jones, retired editor of the Free Lance-Star newspaper on stage. On Sept. 18 at the Bldg. 1470 Conference Room, Elizabeth Lyddane Agnew and her husband, Chris Agnew, who both grew up at Dahlgren, will be joined by Jones for a round table
discussion on growing up here with Elizabeth’s father Russell Lyddane, a physicist and former technical director in the 1950’s who helped shape the base into a research and development facility. Lyddane-Agnew is a current employee of Naval Surface Warfare Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD).
The final event will occur on Oct. 9 as Mrs. Helen Gray, the mother of Douglas Gray, after whom Gray’s Landing on the Potomac is named, will join Margie Stevens, former Dahlgren resident and current contractor for NSWCDD, at Gray’s Landing. Ed Jones will serve as moderator of this event as well. Gray and Stevens, who grew up with Douglas Gray, will remember Dahlgren as it was when the Gray family found out they’d lost their son in the Vietnam War. All Speaker Series events are free and open to all with base access. Each will be held from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Former students of Dahlgren School are invited to participate in a reunion on Saturday, Oct. 19. The reunion, coordinated by Stevens and a team of former students, will include a pro-

New JWAC Commander takes helm By Steven Moore JWAC Public Affairs Navy Capt. R. Chandler Swallow became the new commander of the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) in a change of command ceremony on August 15, replacing Navy Capt. Gary Shoman who retired after 30 years of naval service. Swallow is the ninth commander of JWAC and the first surface warfare officer to lead the 400-person command. “Those of you who don’t work at JWAC probably don’t know what they do,” said Air Force Gen. C. Robert Kehler, Commander, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), the guest speaker at the ceremony. “But, it’s awesome. The American military’s success over the last 20 years is measured by JWAC’s success.” Held at the AEGIS Training & Readiness Center, the ceremony combined a change of command with a retirement ceremony for
JWAC’s outgoing commander, Captain Gary Shoman. “There are reasons why Gary has completed a successful military career,” Kehler said. “Anyone whose call sign is Showdog, that’s an attack pilot,” noting that Shoman had made more than 800 carrier landings in his career as a naval aviator. “You don’t find a more dedicated naval officer, a more dedicated joint officer, and a more dedicated professional to doing the nation’s business,” Kehler said. “I see the benefits of that when I see the approach that JWAC takes to its work every day.” Kehler presented Shoman with the Defense Superior Service Medal for exceptionally distinguished service. “(Shoman) led a unique subordinate joint service command of USSTRATCOM comprised of over 400 military, civilian government employees, and contract personnel in a state-of-theart scientific and engineering based environment,”
the citation read. “(He) provided direct support to the warfighting Global Combatant Commanders (COCOMs), the Joint Staff, the National Command Leadership, and other government agencies.” “(He) demonstrated bril-
liant leadership guiding the command through turbulent and changing times, ensuring the workforce remained focused on the mission and continued to provide critical support to the nation’s war fighters,” the citation continued.
In his closing remarks, Shoman told the approximately 250 family, friends, and employees in attendance, “End of tour awards are presented to the individual, but are earned by the command. JWAC colleagues, it’s been an honor and a privilege to serve as your commander.” Shoman commanded JWAC since December 2011. Before that, he was the deputy commander starting in September 2010. A native of South Milwaukee, Wis., Shoman was commissioned in 1983 at the Aviation Officer Candidate School, Naval Air Station (NAS), Pensacola, Fla. Following flight training at NAS Corpus Christi, Tex. and NAS Meridian, Miss., he received his Wings of Gold in September 1985. He logged over 3,800 flight hours and 800 carrier landings, mostly in the FA-18C Hornet. He flew from the aircraft carriers Kitty Hawk, Enterprise,

Dahlgren base housing open to civilians By Gary Wagner For only the third time in the past five years, civilians are eligible to lease twobedroom townhomes on Naval Support Facility Dahlgren. Lincoln Military Housing (LMH), the management company for family housing units on the base, announced last month that it is now offering a 6 month lease on the Townhomes to (in priority order) single Sailors and Sailors in geobachelor status and a 12 month lease to military retirees, Federal Civil Service employees and Federal Civil Service retirees. LMH was selected by the Navy to assume management of all military family housing on Navy installations throughout the mid-Atlantic region in a publicprivate partnership in 2005. Whereas LMH-managed housing is normally reserved for military members and their families, the company has the option to open on-base housing to non-activeduty military renters when housing units are vacant. Living on base offers a number of
benefits. All utilities are included in monthly rent. Lawn care and landscaping are provided by LMH. Quality of life facilities, such as the base aquatics center, fitness center, Craftech and base theater are just a short walk from the housing area. LMH also sponsors a number of free programs each month for housing residents and their families to include trips, tickets, contests and other events. As an added bonus, children in prekindergarten through eighth grade may attend the DoD-run Dahlgren School on base. This benefit would not be extended to military retirees living in base housing unless they are DoD employees. Several units are available for occupancy immediately. Interested parties are required to undergo a credit check and pay a security deposit. Once a resident’s initial sixmonth or 12-month lease expires, the lease automatically becomes month-tomonth. Interested parties should contact the Lincoln Military Housing office at (540) 663-2190 for more information.

During a recent visit to Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, Vice Adm. William Hilarides, Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (NSWC), presented Willis Lacy, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) with the Meritorious Civilian Service award. Lacy is Electromagnetic Railgun Launcher Integrated Project Team Lead. “Mr. Lacy’s dogged pursuit of this technology resulted in an amazing breakthrough,” said Hilarides. The citation credits the NSWCDD engineer for his contribution to the development of the Navy’s revolutionary electromagnetic railgun technology, stating that Lacy, “flawlessly managed the Advanced Containment Launcher programs and oversaw the development and demonstration of first-generation major-caliber composite railgun barrels.” Moreover, Lacy managed the planning and fabrication of major-caliber railgun cores, tested and pioneered the adaptation, use and analysis of the laser bore scanner which has revolutionized in-situ profilometry for bore life research. The citation emphasized that, “these experimental results guided major design decisions for the next generation prototypes currently in development.” “I consider myself very fortunate to be working on the Electromagnetic Railgun Program and to have been given the privilege of working with such a dedicated team of scientists, engineers and technicians,” said Lacy. “Credit for the successes that have been realized by this program is due to every member of the national team.” Lacy - who led the team that evaluated

‘We are very proud of Willis and it means a lot to us for his efforts to be honored by the Navy in this way,” said Lacy’s wife, Robin, an NSWCDD engineer who attended the ceremony with their two daughters. “We are thrilled to be able to share this as a family.”

NSWCDD’s third annual Regional/International Office Foods Day was held August 14 and encouraged employees to bring in food that represented their culture and heritage. “Food is the one thing other than breathing that is common to everyone,” said Marcella Bushrod, NSWCDD Disability Program manager and Special Emphasis Program coordinator. “Food can bring people together better than anything, and today everybody got a taste of other people’s culture.” Steven Wan, branch head for multi-mission combat control, brought in Japchae, a Korean noodle dish. “It uses sweet potatoes for the noodles, so it has a very different texture and flavor than what people are used to,” said Wan. “It’s a fairly typical Korean dish.” Wan praised the event, saying that he saw many people interacting who don’t normally get a chance to meet or talk to each other. “You learn a lot about people by the type of food they cook,” said Vera Ward, a secretary for Warfare Systems Department. On the topic of Japchae, Ward said it tasted “much healthier” than food she normally sees in an Asian restaurant. Warfare Analysis and Advanced Concepts Division Head Sharon Parish represented her heritage by sharing collard greens and cornbread with fellow employees. “In the times of slavery, black people got rations of food that often consisted of what was left over in the garden,” said Parish. “Collard greens were a cheap meal and you could make a lot of it, which was important because traditionally black people had very large families.” Parish happily explained, “You eat it with hot sauce and cornbread made from cornmeal, not the Jiffy stuff. Mix it up and eat it with your fingers-That’s good eating!” The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) office is compiling a cookbook of recipes from Regional/International Office Foods Day that will be available free on Diversity Day, October 16. Submissions for the cookbook are being accepted via e-mail at dlgr_nswc_cxpe@navy.mil.

Dahlgren School welcomes new principal By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer

There’s nothing like going into a classroom and sharing a love of science and seeing the light bulbs turn on in students.” The teachers and students at Dahlgren School impressed Duncan during his visits, most recently with fourth graders for an advanced science project. “These guys were just loving science and loving education,” he said. “We had a great conversation about it and yet I wasn’t talking to high school kids. These were fourth graders. They could have held their own with any high school kid.” Awakening that kind of intellectual curiosity in

young people never gets old for Duncan. “That’s rewarding to me,” he said. “I was never in education for the pay; I just like sharing my knowledge and continuing to gain knowledge. Hearing their feedback. that keeps me going.” The small size of Dahlgren School and its wide range of student ages is an advantage, said Duncan. “Here we have eighth grade, seventh grade and sixth grade students being models for younger students about how to act in school, how to talk and lead things as a student to a student. In Dahlgren, I saw third graders participating in STEM ac-
tivities with fourth and fifth graders, almost seeming like they were already middle school kids. That’s the beauty of Dahlgren being small. Students don’t mind taking over and leading something. I look forward to continuing and building that so all the students are comfortable taking over and leading.” That kind of focused, close-knit education environment is critical for military children, who must transition to new schools regularly. “It’s perhaps a little bit easier [for students] to go from a military school to a military school, but we’re working on those transitions outside the gate,” said
Duncan. “We’re working on those public school transitions so we can help those schools understand where military kids are coming from. Military children are totally different from regu-

Dahlgren School welcomes a new principal this year. Dr. Jeffrey Duncan has a wealth of experience as an educator, most recently working as an instructional technologist for the Department of Defense Education Activity in New York, Virginia and Puerto Rico district. Duncan’s professional career began when he enlisted in the Army with the goal of using his GI Bill to attain a college degree. He served in Panama and was later accepted to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Upon graduation he was commissioned and served as an armor officer in Germany. Nine days before the Berlin Wall fell, Duncan left the service to become a teacher, returning to his native Iowa. Duncan earned a Master’s degree from the University of Iowa in arts and teaching in science education. “I liked the east coast so I was going to come out to Virginia and then go to New York and be a teacher there,” he said. “I’ve been here 20 years and I haven’t left Virginia yet.” Duncan has taught science at Culpeper Middle School and Courtland High School, where he later became the science department chair. His first role as a school administrator came when he accepted an assistant principal position for Henrico County school system. “Then an opportunity came for me to be able to stay in science and work for [DoDEA] as a secondary science specialist,” he said. His work at DoDEA soon brought him to Dahlgren School. “I visited Dahlgren on a number of occasions and worked for the school in [science, technology, engineering and math] and other efforts,” said Duncan. “I worked with science teachers and students and even read books to first graders in the library; unbeknownst to me, I would be coming back and putting on the admin hat to serve as the principal.” On the eve of his 21st year as an educator, Duncan remains passionate about his profession. “I like learning,” he explained. “They have that line about being a life-long learner, but I really like it. Whether it was teaching my fellow enlisted soldiers in the Army, or later as a platoon commander and company [executive officer], I really enjoyed teaching different skills. Being an educator now, I like teaching. I like being in there with the stu-
lar public school students. These are children whose parents are deployed, have been deployed or will be deployed.” Military children have much to offer public schools, said Duncan. “The majority of the kids in public school were born and raised near the school. Military kids have lived all around the world, whether they are Navy, Marines, Army or Air Force. So they have a wealth of world experience that most public school students don’t have.” Duncan also looks forward to continuing his work with teachers at Dahlgren School. “They were open and asked me to share my ideas. I would elicit what they would like me to do and ask them how I could support them. For me, that’s going to continue. My role as the building principal is to support them and their role of teaching, and the students’ role in learning. These teachers are very professional; they’re not set in their ways. We’ve got to learn as we get new technologies, new ideas, and ways of teaching and doing things. If we run into challenges or road blocks, it will be my task to help teachers overcome them.”

11 Ways to Save When You’re Broke Courtesy of Military.com We always want what we don’t have, and for most Americans it’s a full savings account. The national saving rate was less than 1 percent in 2006 and has been inching, ever so slowly, up to 1 percent, reports the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But, most Americans still choose to live beyond their means, until they have nothing to live on. So if you’re ready to tighten the purse strings, the Illinois CPA Society developed 11 ways to help you save during tough financial times: 1.) Avoid Paying Fees. Use a bank with no ATM fees and avoid paying other fees whenever possible - late payments on utility bills, late video rental fees, etc. 2.) Take advantage of sales and use coupons. Plan your commissary shopping ahead of time and stick to a list. Buy more of the items you use on a regular basis whey they’re on sale. Combine a manufacturer’s coupon with a sale price for more savings. Share and swap coupons with other military families and friends. Whether it’s your phone service or car insurance, look around for the best price and value. Check what you’re getting for the money and make comparisons
based on all the features and benefits. 4.) Evaluate your cable/satellite TV package. Do you really need all 906 channels? Downgrading your level of service may put more money in your pocket.
places. Be open to trying different brands that may cost less with items such as make-up, food or cleaning products. Test out inexpensive restaurants and services and take advantage of offers to first-time customers.
5.) Eliminate magazine subscriptions or reduce the amount of magazines you receive. Most libraries carry a selection of magazines to check out. Additionally, most magazines post their content online now.
10.) Eat meals at home and prepare a lunch to take to work. The same applies to coffee and other beverages; best to brew or make your own rather than continue a $70 a month habit.
6.) Calculate the cost of your commute. With gas prices rising, it may be more feasible for you to consider public transportation or carpooling. Try walking or biking if you live close to your destination.
11.) Change the ‘need it now’ mentality. Don’t let shopping be your ‘feel better’ solution. Try to find other ways to unwind like exercise or reading. When you do shop, weigh every purchase and ask yourself if it’s something you must have now. The price may go down considerably if you wait a few months, and you don’t need to be the first one to own the latest gadget or fashion fad.
7.) Scale back on the vacation. Saving doesn’t mean denying yourself a trip, but weigh the options. Your kids may have just as much fun at a nearby water park as they would half way across the country. 8.) Alter your attitude about saving. Make it a contest with family or friends to find the best bargain, or low- to no-cost entertainment. Go to community concerts and plays. Or, swap games, books and movies with friends. 9.) Experiment with less expensive products and
If you follow these steps and save money on the little expenses you could prepare yourself for any big financial emergencies that could arise.

Back to School Safety Tips
The summer will soon be over and, before you know it, the kids will be starting back to school. For some of us the ringing of the school bell will bring a big sigh of relief. Some parents will experience some nervousness and fear for little ones going off to school for the first time. The children are another story. While they dread the thought of sitting in classrooms, they look forward to seeing and meeting friends. Younger children may be excited about riding the bus, a real adventure experienced without their parents tagging along. No matter what age the child is, we need to remember a few safety tips to ensure he/she has a great and safe year at school.
Buying supplies:
Watch out for sharp edged objects when buying school supplies. Rulers with metal strips and sharp scissors are not for younger children. Scissors should be blunted and the rulers constructed of plastic. Protractors with sharp points pose a hazard for younger children. The labels on the glue and paste bottles should be read and checked for toxic materials. Tacks are another item that parents of younger children should refrain from buying. When buying storage containers for art classes or lunch, buy plastics not glass.
Traveling to and from school:
Teach your child HOW to cross the street. The correct pattern is look left-right-left. Instruct your child to use crosswalks and not go between parked cars. If our child rides his/her bike to school, make sure they use a good fitting helmet. The child should be instructed on the proper wearing of the helmet. Pants legs and other clothing should be designed and worn to prevent entanglement in the gears and other bike parts. Children riding the bus should arrive at the bus stop at least 10 minutes before the bus is due to arrive. When the bus approaches or departs a bus stop, they should stand at
01040368A
least 3 giant steps back. The bus can be boarded or unloaded safely after the bus has come to a complete stop. All children should remember to stay in their seats and keep the noise levels down. Most schools prohibit the eating of foods and gum chewing while on buses. Children are strongly encouraged to use handrails to avoid falls. All children should be instructed to never walk behind a bus. If you plan to drive your child to school, make sure everyone is buckled up in their seat belts. Remember that most accidents occur within 25 miles of the home.
Clothing and other items:
Make sure your child knows the importance of keeping shoelaces tied to prevent trips and falls. It is especially important to keep straps, cords, and other dangling items secured. These items can become entangled in bus handrails, doors, and other openings. Shoes are a causal factor in many in trips/slips/falls. Watch out for slick surfaces on the shoe sole. Also, flipflops and other sandals are not designed for rough playing or sports activities. Make sure the shoes match the level of activity on the playground and during PE. Book bags are great to carry things, but if overloaded can cause discomfort with the back or shoulders. The recommended carrying weight should not exceed 10 pounds, which is evenly distributed in the center of the back. The straps should always be fastened to prevent entanglement and posing as a trip/fall hazard.
Drivers on and off base:
Off base drivers need to be more vigilant of school busses and children at bus stops. School busses may stop un-expectantly and children can stray into the street while waiting for the bus. On base drivers need to watch for children walking to and from school during the morning, lunch and afternoon hours. Obey all traffic regulations, such as school zone speeds and pedestrian signs.
Remember that it is against Navy regulations to talk on a cell phone or text while driving on any Navy installation. Ask yourself, is your phone call or text message more important than a child’s life.
