Personnel living and working on Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren packed the Dowell Community House on Feb. 9 to celebrate Black History Month with speech, song and of course, food. The theme of this year's celebration was "Black Women in American History and Culture," a theme presented enthusiastically by Master Chief Petty Officer Evelyn Banks, command master chief of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the ceremony's guest speaker. After the presentation of colors by the Aegis Training and Readiness Center color guard, and recognition of command staff present, Jessica Kennedy, an engineer with Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) W43 and president of the Fredericksburg chapter of the Society of Woman Engineers, addressed the crowd. "This year, with a theme of black women in American culture and history, I'm delighted to welcome you to this tribute, [one which] will share the
utes before the ceremony began, though the pair's spirited performance gave no hint at the improvisation. Cornish said the duet came naturally. "I've been in the church a long time," he said. "It kind of comes with the territory."

"With attentive ears and curious minds, please enjoy this celebration. You are indeed welcome." Aaron Anderson and Craig Cor-
nish, assigned to NSWCDD W61 and G73 respectively, treated the crowd to a rendition of Bill Withers' classic "Lean on Me." The initial ceremony plan called only for Anderson to sing; he was joined by Cornish only min-
Capt. Peter Nette, commanding officer of Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP), praised the contributions African-Americans have made to society and revisited the creation of Black History Month. "Recognition of black history only began in this country in 1926," said Nette. "It was founded because of one man, Doctor Carter G. Woodson. Doctor Woodson said he created this observance, because for too long he had seen centuries of African-American contributions be overlooked, ignored and even suppressed by writers of history textbooks and the teachers who use them. "Black History Month was created as way of overcoming this lack of

Job Shadow Day sends Dahlgren School installation wide By Andrew Revelos NSASP Staff Writer Students from the Dahlgren School stepped out of their classrooms for a day-long stint in the real world during the school's annual Job Shadow Day on Feb. 2. Sixteen students divided into groups before a short van trip brought them to commands across Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. This year's Jobs Shadow Day saw the students learn about a variety of base activities, including Public Works, the Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) and several departments within the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). After volunteer mentors guided the student groups through the various activities, the students reassembled for tours of the Potomac River Test Range (PRTR) and the naval railgun facility. Teachers and administrators at the Dahlgren School praised the event as a way to underscore the importance of studying hard now, in order to begin a rewarding career later. "The Job Shadow experience gives students an opportunity to connect to the real world and see the application of the lessons that they learn in school," said Alice Herring, principal of the Dahlgren School. "[Students] often times ask 'why do we need to know this?' especially in Math and Science. To see the mentors really using the information is inspiring and exciting to them and to the teachers." One of those mentors never got a chance to shadow a professional in her junior high school days, but said she enjoys extending the opportunity today to young people all the same. "I don't remember getting to participate in a Job

knowledge and awareness. [Woodson] believed that one of the greatest sources of racial injustice is ignorance of the past," said Nette. "So [today] is about recognizing 400 years of African-Americans, whose lives helped make the country what it is today, who made contributions to every sphere of our national life, from culture and business, to politics and science." Capt. Michael Smith, commander of NSWCDD, spoke about the origins Black History Month as well as its 2012 theme. "Our history is rich with examples of the accomplishments of African-American women," said Smith. "From Harriet Tubman, the leader of the underground railroad from slavery, to Rosa Parks, a name we will always [associate] with the modern civil rights movement, to artists such as Gwendolyn Brooks and legislators such a Barbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm, our nation is stronger because of their contributions." After reading a portion of President Barack Obama's 2012 AfricanAmerican History Month Proclamation, Smith praised the contributions African-American Sailors have brought to the Navy. "Today, we particularly honor those Africa-American men and women who have served in the United States Navy," he said. "AfricanAmericans have served bravely in the Navy through every war and conflict since the American Revolution." Dwayne Nelson, an engineer assigned to NSWCDD W24 and vice president of National Society of Black Engineers, Region Two, Potomac River Alumni Extension Chapter, described his organization before introducing Banks. "Our mission is to increase the number of cul-

Down to Earth Geeks
Nelson then gave a brief career summary of Banks, who took center stage and gave a rousing speech. "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired," said Banks, quoting AfricanAmerican civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer. "I refuse to give up."
"To Captains Nette and Smith, to all these dignitaries who elevate the platform and to all of the men and women of the NAVSEA family out here in Dahlgren, I've got to say 'thank God,'" said Banks. "I thank Him for the warm hospitality, for the kindly invitation, for the time I've graced these hallowed halls. And I sure thank God for the parking space. Everywhere I go in NAVSEA, folks say 'we don't have enough parking.' So if we don't have enough, for me to catch one, I'm eternally grateful." Banks thanked the members of the Dahlgren community for making her visit possible and addressed one of Dahlgren's most pervasive stereotypes. "I thought I was going to be speaking to... geeks," she told the chuckling audience. "You folks here at NAVSEA, you're all smart geeks, and I say that affectionately. Just really, really, really smart. "And rarely do you get a bunch of smart folks together who've learned how to humanize themselves and
just be down-home, good folks. So I thank you smart geeks for being down to earth," she said. Banks recounted the role race played in her childhood and professional career with a humorous style all her own. "As I pondered my thoughtsfortoday'sremarks,Ikindof focused on the theme, black women in culture and history," she said. "You know, with a little bit of education behind my belt, I could fix you all up a good speech. I could probably match the subject and verbs together and I could work and work on my diction, but since this is about black women, I'm going to give you who I am. They did teach me noun/verb subject agreement; I did learn [that] in the third grade back in Mississippi. But I have got to tell you, it feels good sometimes to slash those verbs in half." Banks credited three women for making her the woman she is today: her mother, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Coretta King, widow of Martin Luther King Jr. "A lot of folks complain about how bad life is, how bad things are," said Banks. "Well, if you're going to complain, get up and do something." It was after the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, however, that Banks said she experienced racial discrimination in the Navy during her career.When an officer made unbecoming remarks about Banks' race, gender and time-in-rank as she checked in on board a ship for the first time, Banks requested the officer judge her after she had a chance to perform her duty. It would not be the last time racial prejudice affected Banks' career, but in each case, Banks encouraged the crowd to take her own example and stay happy, despite the challenges. "I'm the total custodian of my joy, because of people like you," she said. "You allow me to be me."
National African-American History Month: NSASP-hosted Sailors in their own words
GSM1 Terence Rambeau
LS1 Jarriel Gardner
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division "Black History month is a time to remember the contributions and tribulations of this country. I am thankful for the sacrifices past Black Americans have made to secure the future generation. Diversity brings background and experience to the Navy. Everyone at some point in their life has had the opportunity to overcome challenges, whether because of their ethnic background or values. These are important because this is who we are and what we represent as an individual. What we experience, good or bad, can be used in the development of other Sailors."
Naval Support Activity South Potomac "Being an African-American Sailor, there's a lot of pride. Everyone must go through some struggle to get to where they want to go. A lot of AfricanAmericans have served in the Navy and many became heroes, but they went through a great deal of struggle just to have the opportunity.
Knowing that keeps me at a level where I know I just got to keep striving, no matter what happens. Being diverse in the Navy creates bonds between people and between cultures; it keeps us from being closedminded because your way isn't always the best way."
FCI Darnell Williams
Aegis Training and Readiness Center "Black History Month means a lot to me because it gives me the chance to go back and look at my past history, through my ethnicity, through my ancestors. I get to reap the benefits of the things they fought for and sought after. Back in the day, in the Navy, African-Americans were only allowed to be stewards and things like that. Today, with me being a First-Class Fire Controlman, working on weapons systems and now teaching students to go out on ship to do the same, I know I would not be able to do that had it not been for my African-American ancestors."
FC1 Stacey Velvin
Aegis Training and Readiness Center
YNC William Cunningham
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division "This month recognizes the efforts and accomplishments of blacks. It recognizes and reflects the contribution of blacks in the forming of today's America. [Diversity is] what makes America great. The Navy brings different experiences and cultures together to form a mighty force."
"Black History Month is a chance for people to understand and see some of the contributions African-Americans have made to history, to the military, to the country in general. Diversity brings an understanding [to the Navy]; it allows you to work with someone, to get to know someone, who may not come from the same background."

fessional responsibilities include overseeing the drinking, waste, storm run-off and industrial water on base. At every turn during the tour, the students saw how skills learned in the classroom apply in the working world. After collecting storm water samples with the students, it was off to the wastewater treatment facility lab to measure the results. White explained how both chemistry and biology are part of monitoring and cleansing wastewater. The students took pH reading of their samples and observed the tiny life present in the water under a microscope. White took time to explain the importance of the scientific method and how her work affects the environment around Dahlgren. "The Environmental Division has the opportunity to participate in many public outreach activities," said White, who is a regular participant in Dahlgren's educational outreaches. "From battery turn-ins, science fairs, Earth Day, and Jobs Day, our job is more effective if we can increase public awareness of the environment and involve the community." White and all the mentors at the Job Shadow Day did more than just show the students various science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills in action, however. For military kids used to a transient lifestyle, the tour provided a sense of community and place that would be difficult for a young person to otherwise acquire. "Many of the students don't really know what kind of activities go on around the base, despite living here, and most of them have probably never ventured out of the housing area," said Lisa Augustyniak, a science and English teacher at the Dahlgren School. Augustyniak accompanied the students touring the wastewater treatment facility. "Having a chance to see the types of things that the people here do not only increases their knowledge of their surroundings, but also enlightens them as to what kinds of jobs are available to someone interested in science and technology. This generation is growing up in a completely different world... almost all of them have smart phones and internet access available to them at all times. It's good for them to see where that technology is coming from and how it can be applied outside of the world of middle school." Such lessons may not neatly fit within the confines of a classroom or subject, but

"We are fortunate to have the expertise in all fields at Dahlgren, but especially those in science, technology, engineering and math," said Herring. "We appreciate
the continual willingness of the professionals on the base to contribute their time to give back to the students in Job Shadow Day and as guest speakers. "Thanks to [NSASP event coordinator] Susan Prien, who has been working with Dahlgren School for the past six years to provide this opportunity."
Semifinalist for Military Child of the Year By Chris Basham Tester Editor Haley Fuentes, 8, thought it was just another school assembly, meant to award her and other Park Hall Elementary School third graders for placement on the honor roll and perfect attendance. It didn't take long, though, for her to realize something was up. "When I saw Dad, I thought, 'That's not a good sign,'" Haley said. Being the composed, roll-with-thechanges girl she is, Haley just greeted her father, Master-at-arms Chief Petty Officer Edgar L. Fuentes, and sat with her fellow classmates. If it was a little
odd to have her parents standing near the stage with the commanding officer and command master chief from her father's naval installation in the middle of the school day, she didn't let on. Handling the unexpected is just part of life as a military child -- the moves, extended deployments and additional responsibility at home are all part of the life she knows. "Haley is an amazing child. Always keeping her spirits up through deployment and separations, she maintains all A's in school and is very supportive and helpful to her peers. Haley Fuentes is truly a pleasure to have as a role model for other students and children experi-
encing the loss or deployment of a parent and is most deserving of the Military Child of the Year Award," Principal Kathy Norton read, from a letter she wrote nominating Haley. On Feb. 3, Norton announced to the entire third grade, base leadership and the Fuentes family that Haley has been selected as a semi-finalist in that competition. At 8 years old, she is also the youngest of the 20 Navy children chosen to be semi-finalists. The award, presented each year by Operation Homefront, is intended to recognize children for their character and service to the community. "Out of 20 in the whole Navy, that

USS Mason upgraded with new chemical agent detection capability as Navy begins massive Fleet-wide initiative By John J. Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications A new automated chemical warfare agent detection capability that successfully passed operational tests aboard USS Mason (DDG 87) will be installed on warships throughout the Fleet, Navy officials announced Feb. 15. The Navy plans to install the new system designed to quickly alert warfighters to the presence of chemical warfare agents - on all active guided missile destroyers and cruisers, aircraft carriers, large and small deck amphibious ships, littoral combat ships and dry cargo/ammunition ships by the end of 2018. "IPDS-LR [Improved Point Detection System - Lifecycle Replacement] will provide the Navy continued chemical warfare agent detection, identification and alerting along with the high system reliability they need to perform their mission worldwide," said Bruce

ance (JPM NBCCA). "This successful deployment of the IPDSLR is a culmination of the work of some great scientists and engineers, collaboration with the joint community, and having waterfront locations that provide continuous Fleet interaction," said Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) Defense Division Head Mike Purello. Warfighters aboard USS Mason - the first guided-missile destroyer protected by IPDSLR - are now relying on a better performing system that features ion mobility spectrometry. This chemical detection technology creates ions that separate by the time it takes the ion clusters to traverse a constant electric field drift region. "I am excited to have the Improved Point Detection System - Lifecycle Replacement on board," said USS Mason commanding officer Cmdr. Adan Cruz after testing concluded Jan. 27. "As Captain, I hold the responsibility for the safety of the crew and this system provides enhanced chemical warfare defense to ensure our Sailors will return home safely." "The install went extremely well," said USS Mason executive officer Cmdr. Mike Briggs. "Having a reliable chemical detection system

onboard to aid in ship's defense goes towards making Mason a more effective warship." Teams based in Norfolk, Va., and San Diego, Calif., are prepared to install the new system on 35 ships in 2012. USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110), USS Howard (DDG 83) and USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) are the next ships on NSWCDD CBR Defense Division's schedule for IPDS-LR installation. "More DDGs will follow," said NSWCDD IPDS-LR project lead Brian Flaherty. "The Sailor will see a system they can turn on and be confident it is protecting them. It samples air from outside the ship, evaluates it for the presence of chemical warfare agents and if there's an agent present, IPDS-LR will alert them in an adequate amount of time to take precautionary measures." IPDS-LR components located on the port and starboard sides of a ship sample air through external intakes in the hull. The system analyzes the external air for chemical agents. "If the detector identifies a chemical agent, it sends a signal that displays an alert at both the ship's damage control central and the bridge," said Flaherty. "The system also inter-

Rappahannock United Way to celebrate a successful campaign During Rappahannock United Way's 2011 Annual Campaign, RUW staff and supporters called on community members to be "everyday heroes" to those in need-and the community responded. While you may not see capes billowing past your office or masked men and women in their classrooms, vehicles, or meetings, the Greater Fredericksburg area is filled with men and women who gave during the Local Government, Workplace, and Combined Federal Campaigns this year. These gifts will impact the lives of thousands of individuals and families in the Fredericksburg area. On Wednesday, February 22nd, the 2011 Rappahannock United Way (RUW) will host its annual Campaign Celebration and Awards Luncheon, an event to recognize and thank corporate contributors, community leaders, nonprofit partners, loyal donors, and dedicated volunteers for their collective effort to make the 2011 Workplace Campaign a success.
The 2011 Campaign called upon "everyday heroes" to take part in Giving, Advocating, and Volunteering for the improvement of our community. Amid layoffs and cutbacks resulting from the current economic condition, even the smallest donation works to create positive change. Donors took to heart RUW's call to "Live United" as a community; despite economic strain, they continued to give of their resources to benefit others. "What impressed me most this year was how our donors thoughtfully made gifts to Rappahannock United Way that mirrored their commitment to United Way's mission and their belief in the impact our organization makes in this community," said Rappahannock United Way President Janel Donohue. "Our donors think of "we" before "me" and I think that makes our community unique." Tamara Jones, RUW's Annual Giving Manager, added: "The success of the campaign is not only measured by dollars raised, but also by the impact of those dollars and the
value Rappahannock United Way brings to the community. In that spirit, the 2011 Annual Campaign Celebration and Awards Luncheon's purpose is to show the community's efforts and dedication to changing lives and creating lasting change in the areas of Education, Income and Health." To recognize those who went above and beyond to achieve fundraising goals, Rappahannock United Way will award companies and employee campaign coordinators who volunteered their time to generate excitement and dollars around the United Way Campaign. In addition to the awards, the results of the 2011 Community Campaign will be revealed as well as the theme for the 2012 Campaign.

faces directly to the ship's chemical alarm, which broadcasts an audible ship-wide alarm to alert the crew of a chemical warfare agent." IPDS-LR's test and evaluation involved extensive time both in the laboratory and aboard ship, with extensive time at sea as well as an independent underway evaluation by the Navy's Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force. "The new system is more maintainable and reliable," said Flaherty. "Warfighters will see improved false alarm performance and longer periods of time between repairs. It will be easier and cheaper to repair." Based on a commercial-off-the-shelf concept, a joint team of NSWCDD and JPM NBCCA engineers evaluated IPDS-LR in reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) tests emphasizing a Navy shipboard maritime environment. The team collected over 14,000 hours of underway and inport test time supporting the RAM analysis with multiple ships - and ship classes - based in the Norfolk and San Diego areas. Additional data collection continued on board ships in forward-deployed locations. "It's very rewarding to field this system to the Fleet," said Flaherty, noting that his team conducted "IPDS-LR tests on the Navy side - shock testing, vibration testing, electromagnetic interference - and worked with different groups over two-and-ahalf years to make sure the system is ready to field to the warfighter." "The Navy's CBR Defense Division exists to provide our warfighter with the tools and capabilities necessary to detect, protect, and if necessary, decontaminate threats resulting from a CBR attack," said Purello. "Our direct and active connection with the Fleet helps the warfighter and provides a wealth of valuable information for our scientists and engineers in the lab. This knowledge is immediately put to use as they work to create, develop, and provide updates and future solutions for our men and women in uniform." A Navy leader in CBR Defense, NSWCDD's CBR Defense Division provides a full complement of capabilities that support the naval warfighter both on land and at sea as well as the joint and homeland defense communities.
