By Mike Welding NSWC Indian Head Division Public Affairs Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) recognized more than 55 of its employees on April 10 at its annual Honorary Awards ceremony held at theTown of Indian Head's Village Green Pavilion. NSWC IHD employees received individual and team awards for their contributions in 2011, covering areas such as energetics research and development, managerial excellence, safety, community service and exceptional personal performance. Four of those awards were NSWC IHD's highest command-level honors. Other employees received individual and team awards from the Naval Surface Warfare Center headquarters in Washington, D.C. Two employees also received Meritorious Civilian Service Awards, one for management of the Base Realignment and Closure process started in 2005, the other for successful implementation of the Navy's Enterprise Resource Planning system. NSWC IHD's commanding officer, Capt. Andy Buduo, said that the award winners' significant work represents the high work standards throughout the command.

"Day in and day out, Indian Head Division employees exhibit exceptional dedication and commitment, whether conducting advanced research, manufacturing rocket motors or warheads, managing programs, reviewing contracts or keeping the books," said Buduo. "This doesn't happen by accident. It comes from adherence to high standards and an attitude of paying attention to what's important."
Dennis McLaughlin, NSWC IHD's technical director, said the command's adherence to quality and customer service has paid dividends in an austere fiscal environment. "Financially, our outlook is very good, as rosy as it's been in several years," McLaughlin said. "We have had some real growth this past year, and the plant is almost operating at full capacity. That is remarkable considering the downturn in defense
spending, yet really reinforces our value to the Navy and DoD."

Center for Surface Combat Systems changes Command By Kimberly Lansdale Center for Surface Combat Systems Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) held a change of command and retirement ceremony on board Naval Support Facility Dahlgren on April 13. Capt. Don Schmieley relieved Capt. Robert Kerno. Schmieley previously served as deputy of the Ballistic Missile Defense Branch at the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, SurfaceWarfare Division in Washington, D.C. Kerno had been CSCS' commanding officer since July 2010 and retired after 30 years of active service. Schmieley assumes responsibility of CSCS, including 14 learning sites, units and detachments, which provide maintenance and operations training for surface combat systems. Rear Adm. Clifford Sharpe, chief operating officer for the Naval Education and Training Command, was the guest speaker at the event. He said Kerno represents the Navy's core values of honor, courage and commitment. "The summary of action for Bob's [Capt. Kerno] time at CSCS is the longest I've endorsed as a flag officer and there is absolutely no fluff," said Sharpe. "There are several items but most significantly, he responded to the pressing Fleet need - to

fare (ASW) and integrated Air and Missile Defense Baseline. This was an amazing effort and a success story which continues to this day." Kerno said his tour of duty at CSCS was one of the most rewarding assignments of his Navy career. "I look back at these past two years and I see the most cohesive, professional, dedicated and focused team," said Kerno. "I am proud to have worked side by side with each and every one of you." Kerno was presented his third Legion of Merit for many of his accomplishments at CSCS. During his two years, CSCS became the Surface Warfare Training Committee Mission Area Chair for Surface Warfare, justified and obtained funding needed each year to meet shortfall, orchestrated multiple class and curriculum overhauls and training realignments, and provided training for partner and allied nations. "Since inception, this Center has harnessed the best practices in industry and academia to drive excellence and meet fleet requirements," said Sharpe. Schmieley was excited to become the fourth commanding officer of CSCS. "I am awed at the capability and expertise throughout this impressive domain and I am looking forward to building on

Duty and Honor: Law enforcement training U.S. Navy photo by Andrew Revelos
Auxiliary Security Force (ASF) class 12-01 graduated a course designed to teach Sailors with no prior law enforcement training the basics of police work on April 6. Most of the Sailors call the Aegis Training and Readiness Center home, but they can now join the installation's police if the requirement arises.
Military Child Easter celebration
Over 130 family members took part in the NSF Dahlgren Month of the Military Child Easter Celebration sponsored by the MWR Library program. The Library offered families the opportunity to visit with the Easter Bunny as well as participate in a petting zoo. The attendance for the day even drove up checkouts of books to over 80 for the day.
DFAS phases in Roth TSP contributions for civilian and military pay customers The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will begin processing Roth TSP elections for its civilian and military customers using a phased approach beginning in June and continuing through October 2012. As a new choice for retirement investment planning, the Roth TSP, will give civilian employees and military service members the option to contribute after-tax wages into TSP for the first time. Both the contributions and the earnings will be tax free when withdrawn, as long as IRS re-
quirements are met. The phased implementation will ensure each customer's taxable wages and TSP contributions are computed accurately. According to DFAS officials, the schedule will provide time to complete and thoroughly test the complex changes needed to the various civilian, active duty military, and reserve component payroll systems. The complex changes address the unique and multiple pay types in the pay systems including the different require-
ments of the Army, Navy and Air Force; and the active duty and reserve component requirements. Implementation will begin with Marine Corps service members in June 2012; all DoD civilians, as well as other civilians serviced by DFAS in July 2012; to be followed by the Army, Navy and Air Force military service members in October 2012. Look for more specific deployment dates on Roth TSP elections coming soon on www.dfas.mil. For more information about the Roth TSP option, see www.tsp.gov.

FREDERICKSBURG RIDESHARING SERVICE GWRideConnect is a free ridesharing service that assists persons who are seeking daily transportation from Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline and King George counties to employment locations in Dahlgren among other employment sites. Go to www.gwregion.org/gwride connect.html.
There were no towns and few stores. But back in 1918, before the Navy base was built and before a place called Dahlgren existed, 5year-old Jim Payne had one thing he loved: freedom. "There was no big brother," Payne remembered 70 years later. "We were completely responsible for ourselves, for our own families and, to a lesser extent, for our neighbors. We might see our sheriff once in six months...and there were no other officials to annoy us. It was great!" Payne went on to work on the base for several decades, becoming a leader in the Navy's Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation
to Ordnance program (HERO). He died a few years ago in Northern Virginia. But some of his relatives still live in the area, near the family farm that lay just outside the new base. In a memoir written in the late 1980s, Payne said, "We raised everything we ate except sugar, flour, salt, pepper and the like. Sometimes at Christmas one of the stores would get tropical fruits and nuts, a real treat. The Potomac River and the
Jim Payne creeks provided plenty of seafood." With the road to Fredericksburg often closed by rain, the King George County area that became known as Dahlgren was pretty isolated--but not completely. "Washington, Norfolk and Baltimore were easily available by steamboat with dozens of stops along the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay," wrote Payne. In fact, he added, "It
was much easier to visit my relatives in Washington than those in King George." Though only 5, Payne remembered when the base opened in 1918. "Most people and equipment came by water but some of the Marines came by road in their huge trucks...The Marines would occasionally stop for a drink of water and to rest in our yard." Before the days of high security, Payne remembered that, once the base got going in the 1920s, it was easy for nearby civilians to just walk in. There were no gates. Payne attended the Dahlgren School for 11 years. He was one of three in his high school graduating class.
Deputy ASN and NSWCDD commander headline Forum One of the highest-ranking women in the Department of the Navy and the top officer for Naval Support Facility Dahlgren's largest tenant command will headline the second Dahlgren Heritage Museum Community Forum on May 9. The 5 p.m. event at the University of Mary Washington's (UMW) Dahlgren Center for Education and Research will feature Mary Lacey, a former senior official at Dahlgren and now the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for research, development, testing and evaluation. In her current position, Lacey plays a key role with all warfare centers managed by Naval Sea Systems Command, including the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). Also visiting the forum will be Capt. Michael H. Smith, who assumed command of NSWCDD in July 2010. The captain's varied career includes a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ed Jones, the president of the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation, which is collaborating with the Navy to create the Dahlgren Heritage Museum, will moderate the discussion. Topics are expected to relate to Dahlgren's past and future as a key research and development site for the Navy. The one-hour forum is free and open to the public. Lacey's career with the Navy began in 1973 and includes service as deputy program director for the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Field Activity at Dahlgren. She also served as technical director at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division. The responsibilities of Lacey's current position include facilitating the Navy's interface with industry and
Capt. Michael H. Smith, Commanding Officer, NSWCDD strengthening the technical depth of the laboratory and warfare center workforce. Throughout her career, Lacey has been involved with engineering recruitment and workforce development. She has led mentoring sessions with women in senior positions for the Navy, and has received numerous awards from the Navy and the Department of Defense. Smith signed up for the Navy twice, first as an enlisted man in 1976, and then, after graduation from Humboldt State University, as an engineering duty officer. Smith's career includes service at sea and in Canada. He has received numerous awards. Before coming to Dahlgren, he served as deputy program manager for the Zumwalt-class destroyer program at the Washington Navy Yard. The Dahlgren Heritage Foundation reached agreement this month with the Virginia Tourism Corp. for use of the former Gateway Welcome Center on
Mrs. Mary Lacey, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, RDT&E U.S. 301 near the Harry Nice Memorial Bridge as the first site of the Dahlgren Heritage Museum. The foundation recently received an $11,000 grant from the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region to develop a historic walking trail on the grounds of the museum. Work is underway on developing exhibits for the museum's interior, as well as on a display about Dahlgren history at the UMW Dahlgren Campus. The foundation, which is responsible for raising all funds for the creation and operation of the museum, will launch a major fundraising campaign this year. It expects to offer exhibits, artifacts and events at the museum, beginning this year. For more information, contact Karen Farley, executive director of the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation at 540-413-1031 or at info@dahlgrenmuseum.org.

NARFE answers retirement questions By Andrew Revelos, Staff Writer To retire or not to retire, that is only one of many questions facing federal employees thinking about their future in the age of austerity. The last few years have been a rollercoaster for working people in every part of the economy and, if past evidence holds true to form, the last sectors of the economy affected by the recession cycle are government employees. While the cuts are predictable in the general sense, how they might specifically affect the lives of civil servants is still very much undecided. Hardly a day goes by without news of new budget proposals, but the vice president of a local chapter of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) is encouraging federal employees to have their say. "We know things are changing every single day," said Leslie Ravenell, vice president of the Colonial Beach chapter of NARFE, who addressed a group of civil ser-

vants at NSF Dahlgren last week. "NARFE is here for you." Ravenell emphasized how NARFE advocates for federal workers. "We are on Capitol Hill," she said. "We are united to preserve the security of our benefits." Federal employees who choose to join NARFE have traditional and new options for membership. They can join one of the many NARFE chapters that meet monthly in the region, or they can become a member of NARFE's E-Chapter. The latter features a blog-like format designed to keep members abreast and involved in matters affecting retirees, while doing away with the need for in-person participation. NARFE members also receive the association's monthly magazine. "The more people who sign up and become members of NARFE, the stronger our voice becomes in Congress," said Ravenell. If you are interested in joining NARFE or would like to learn more about the association, visit their website at www.narfe.org.

have come the farthest. The term "breaking news" which used to require a telegram, radio announcement or television interruption now blasts straight to your cell phone via applications for thousands of news and weather organizations. Most importantly, how do you stay updated on information that truly relates to you road conditions, severe weather alerts and emergency situations that affect you and your family while at home or at work? Here is information on keeping yourself informed.
County Alerts
Charles County provides the Charles County Citizen Notification Service. Enrollment is free and offers the option of receiving messages by email, text or pager. Once you have listed all devices, you have the option of receiving alerts from Charles County Public Schools, the Charles County Sheriff's Office, Emergency Services, Fiscal and Administrative Departments, Health Department, Human Resources, and Public Works. Within each department are specialized categories that allow you to choose messages that provide you with the info you need. Charles County alert is highly recommended for anyone who uses the Harry Nice Bridge on a regular basis, as they provide alerts to any trafficinterruptionsonthebridge. Visit www.charlescountycns.com to enroll.
KingGeorgeCounty[bold] offerstheKGAlertsystem. Enrollment is free and messages canbesenttoemail,Blackberry, cell and smart phones and pagers. Once device information has been entered, users can click the "My Alert" tab and choose to receive alerts directed at Dahlgren or King George residents; information on county meetings and county organizations such as Dahlgren Sharks Swim Team, KingGeorgeLittleLeague,L.E. Smoot Library, Parks and Recreation, Potomac Raiders Swim Team and the King GeorgeYMCA. KG Alert users can also choose to receive information from King George County Schools,andthereisanoption to choose information from the King George County Service Authority directed to specific subdivisions. Base employees can receive information from their specific command or alerts that affect all base employees. There is also the option to receive information on volunteer opportunities in the county. ForKingGeorgecommunity alerts, visit www.kgalert.com.
Base Alerts
NSASP provides emergency information updates to NMCI computer users through the Wide Area Alert Network (WAAN). You may recognize these alerts as popup messages that appear on your computer screen, often
accompanied by some type of warning signal. These messages will be received by everyone logged on to an NMCI computer, but it's possible to expand the way you receive this information. Naval District Washington has asked that all employees go into theWAAN system and register their work email and work phone numbers to receive messages. This can be especially important in the case of an emergent event, such as a tornado or a shelterin-place order, in case there is a delay in the delivery of an on-screen message. Users may also choose to register their personal email and cell phone number for text messages. This was especiallyhelpfultomanyemployees during the recent closure of the Williams Creek Bridge. Many employees received information on their personal cell phone that allowed them to travel a different route to work during water main repairs on Dahlgren Road. To register your devices for the WAAN system, contact the Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) Public Affairs office at (540) 653-8153 or (866) 359-5540 for a link to access the system. It should also be noted that NSASP Public Affairs staff has the ability to post KG Alert messages, providing another opportunity for Naval Support Facility Dahlgren employees to receive base in-
formation promptly. Base employees can also contact the base status phone lines for Dahlgren and Indian Head. These lines are updated when necessary with any changes to base status. At Dahlgren, employees can call (540) 653-3339 or (866) 359-5540. At Indian Head, employees should call (301) 744-4000 or (866) 3595540. Employees may also hear warning tones from the Giant Voice systems positioned at Dahlgren and Indian Head. The message from Giant Voice is always the same - if you're out, get in. Get inside, get notified. Seek shelter and use your communications devices to find updated information on the next steps to take. Don't ever go outside to hear GiantVoice - if it sounds, it means you should be inside taking shelter.
Employee Accountability
In the event of an emergency that requires an evacuation, the Navy developed the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS). NFAAS standardizes a method for the Navy to account, manage and monitor the recovery process for personnel and their families affected or scattered by a wide-spread catastrophic event. The NFAAS provides valuable information to all levels of the Navy chain of
command, allowing commanders to make strategic decisions which facilitate a return to stability. All military members are required and civilians are encouraged to visit https://nfda.navyfamily.navy .mil/index.jsp and verify that information listed for you and your family is correct. Click the "My Info" tab of each person's "Full Profile." Each of these steps should be performed on the "Contact Information" section and the "Family Member Info" section. Review address and contact (email/phone) information (on the "Contact Information" Section and the "Family Member Info" Section). If everything is correct, click the "Verify Info as Current" button. Please complete this step for all family members. If the information is incorrect, please click the "Edit" button and correct the information and save it. (Please make corrections for all family members). Ensuring that your contact info is correct in NFAAS will help your command know that you and your family are safe. Having the opportunity to receive information that can protect the safety of you and your family is a great opportunity. Receiving it is up to you. Find the options that are best for you and enroll today!

Official offers tips to beat summer moving rush By Elaine Sanchez American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, March 21, 2012 - With military moving season about to kick into high gear, officials are urging service members to book their moving dates early and to remain as flexible as possible when doing so. Careful planning is vital to ensuring a smooth move, especially during the busiest season, John Johnson, branch chief for the personal property directorate quality assurance division, told the Pentagon Channel.The directorate, part of the Army's Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, manages the personal property program for the Defense Department. Each year, about 225,000 DOD and Coast Guard household goods shipments are slated for movement during the summer months, officials said.With school out for the summer, or about to be, many parents view that stretch of time as the least disruptive for a family move and set their sights on moving over the Memorial Day or Fourth of July weekends to take advantage of the extra days off. But this moving cluster can create a back-
log for officials, Johnson said, as military shipments compete with private-sector moves during the peak moving season. "We move almost half of the folks we move in the DOD in the summertime," he said, noting the "peak of the peak" season takes place toward the end of June through the Fourth of July. Service members who are set on moving around this time may run into some roadblocks when trying to lock in specific dates. However, they can tip the odds in their favor by booking their moving dates early, essentially beating the moving rush, and keeping flexibility in mind when doing so, Johnson advised. "If you go with a specific time in mind and can't move outside of that, it makes it more challenging," he explained. Johnson noted some exceptions to this rule, particularly when service members have a limited time frame in which they can move. In these cases, he advises troops consider a personally procured move, formerly known as a do-it-yourself move, where members find their own movers or move their household goods themselves and then file for reimbursement. DOD service members, civilians and their
families have two options to manage moves, officials said. First, they can visit their local installation transportation office or personal property shipping office to start the move process. Or, they can use the Defense Personal Property System, known as DPS, which can be accessed through move.mil. This website is the portal for DPS and the one-stop shop where members can completely manage their move process, officials explained. Meanwhile, people can create a personal moving calendar with checklists, phone numbers and links to helpful information, Johnson suggested. He also suggests people rifle through their garage or basement and get rid of unwanted items to reduce their shipment's weight. "No one wants to get a bill for being overweight" on their shipment, he said, referring to authorized weight allowances based in part on rank or civilian pay grade. A quick method for estimating weight is to calculate about 1,000 pounds per room, officials said, or by using the weight estimator on move.mil. Johnson also stressed the importance of taking the time after the move to fill out a customer satisfaction survey, which serves as a
"scorecard" for transportation service providers. Providers get business or don't get business based on their survey scores, he explained, providing incentive for moving companies to do a good job. "Higher scores mean more business," he said. Johnson also pointed out that the process to file a claim for missing or damaged property has changed. People formerly filed a claim through the military claims office. But now, people initiate the claim process through the online system. The carrier then contacts people directly to discuss how to get estimates or repairs. People who are having issues with this process aren't on their own, Johnson stressed. They can contact their local military claims officer for guidance and advice. For questions or concerns about the moving process, people should stop by their local personal property shipping office or installation transportation office, Johnson advised.

Dry weather, careless disposal of smoking materials pose increased fire risk From Naval District Washington Fire and Emergency Services, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, D.C. JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C.--The National Weather Service has reported a very dry start to this year, which will contribute to increased fire danger. As a result of the current dry and windy conditions, several local installations have reported mulch fires, one of which led to moderate fire damage to an outdoor area and deck. The combination of dry and windy conditions and improperly discarded smoking materials has been determined as the cause. These types of fires are not just a problem in our places of work, but extend to our homes and vacation areas. In accordance with the Naval District Washington (NDW) Instruction 5100.2C, smoking is not permitted in any common space onboard any NDW installation. Common areas include outdoor eating facilities or areas within 50 feet of entrances and exits to buildings. Smoking is only allowed in those areas outside of buildings and facilities identified as "Designated Smoking Areas" which are identified by signs and tobacco receptacles. Personnel should not smoke while walking around any NDW installation since this leads to litter and mulch fires. NDW Fire and Emergency Services strongly encourages members to remain vigilant in helping protect life and property. There are many ways to help reduce the chance of uncontrolled outdoor fires. Please heed and adhere to the below safety tips. - Never discard smoking materials on the ground or out vehicle windows. In addition to being considered littering, it could also have unfavorable consequences for life, property and the environment. - Use designated smoking areas only - Use designated butt containers only - Makesure your smoking material is fully extinguished before discarding - Do not use butt containers as trash cans - Never put discarded smoking materials in trash cans\

Discovery’s trip to DC
Stay Alive! Don’t Drink & Drive!
The Space Shuttle Discovery's trip to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday was much celebrated across the area. Employees at NSF Indian Head were able to see the NASA 747 as it carried Discovery to its new home at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at Washington Dulles International Airport. Fran Moody, employee of Naval Ordnance Safety and Security Activity, viewed Discovery from the old golf course. "It veered towards Virginia and into the clouds. I was thrilled and ran to the top of the green and fumbled with my cell phone for the camera but saw it no more," said Moody. "I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see it. I marvel at the ingenuity of the space program engineers, scientists and support personnel; just modifying the vehicle to transport the shuttle, let alone a vehicle which rockets to outer space with our astronauts onboard. Thank you NASA for sharing in the final journey of Discovery"
