Motorcycle safety crucial component of basic rider course BY PAUL BELLO
JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – Whether you’re just starting out, or have been riding motorcycles a long time but need a refresher on safety, there’s a basic rider course available within the National Capital Region (NCR) that helps riders get into gear. Best part of all - the course is free to all military, retirees, dependents and Department of Defense (DOD) civilians. Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) has the only certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course and trainer bikes inside the beltway for the required training and retraining requirements, according to Wade Koehler, a safety specialist for JBAB and himself a certified instructor through MSF since 2006. He said all training on base is conducted at its vehicle training range across from Enterprise Hall. The basic rider course, which is a three day course, covers everything from road safety to rider tips and mechanical understanding. “I like seeing people get enthusiastic about the course. That’s the best part

Beat the heat to stay safe BY PATRICK GORDON
NDW WATERLINE WRITER
WASHINGTON - Summer heat can be a joy to some and burden to others. Whether relishing in the warmth, or trying to avoid it, the rising temperature can wreak havoc on the body. With three deaths in the region already attributed to the heat, the recent spike in warm weather should be considered with safety in mind. “Hyperthermia is caused by a failure of the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body to deal with the heat coming from the environment,” said Kim Calvin, program assistant at the National Institute on Aging. “[Heat emergencies such as] heat fatigue, heat syncope sudden dizziness after prolonged exposure to the heat - heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are all forms of hyperthermia.

Military members barbecue at one of Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s fixed grills along the Anacostia River waterfront. Whether relaxing or working in the heat, be aware of its effect on the body and avoid heat-related emergencies, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
These conditions can pose special health risks for older adults, and can increase with the combination of outside temperature, general health and individual lifestyle.” The Red Cross advises being informed of weather conditions and expected heat waves, and to be aware of any personal physical conditions such as heart disease or high blood pressure that can put a person at higher risk of being affected by a heat related emergency. If a local heat advisory is in effect, avoid or postpone outdoor activities and stay inside, preferably in air conditioned spaces. Wear light, loose-fitting clothing, and drink plenty of water. For those without air conditioning in their homes, public facilities such as libraries, malls and some local museums - such as

Message from the Commandant BY REAR ADM. MARKHAM RICH COMMANDANT NAVAL DISTRICT WASHINGTON
Team NDW, as I assume duties as the 88th commandant of Naval District Washington I want to say thank you for the warm welcome you have given me and my family. I am truly looking forward to a memorable and productive assignment and I am looking forward to meeting you and seeing the wonderful work you do every day. I had an opportunity to see some of the region during my first few weeks as commandant, and in the coming weeks I will be visiting each of the installations, talking with your leadership and talking with you about how we can continue to improve the way we do business. Do not be afraid to say hello and tell me what you think. It was a tremendous honor being selected to be the 88th commandant of a region steeped in history. From Naval Air Station Patuxent River which has been on the forefront of naval aviation research development test & evaluation since 1937, to

for me,” Koehler said. “Students clearly come away with more knowledge and a better understanding on how to be safe. That’s the whole focus.” For beginners looking to break into the ranks, it’s equally gratifying, according to Sandy Casey, director of JBAB’s Safety Office. She said the course has received rave reviews over the years and has the full support of the Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC). “Non-riders learn something new and come away with skills they never had before,” Casey said. “Being the only certified course in the beltway is something we’re really proud of here at JBAB.” Andy Stoefl, a retired Navy service member who serves as an instructor with MSF, said there are three courses available to prospective students: basic rider, advanced rider and military sport
NSF Dahlgren which is named after John Dahlgren, the “Father of American naval ordnance,” to the Washington Navy Yard which is the Navy’s oldest shore installation and a favorite destination of President Lincoln during the rigors of his presidency, this region has been a witness to the growth of the world’s finest Navy from its early beginnings. Today, the tradition of excellence continues at NSA Annapolis where the U.S. Naval academy trains and educates 4,000 midshipmen to be the Navy’s future leaders, and at NSA Bethesda which is home to the military’s newest world-class medical treatment facility. It is the work that each of you does every day that has earned NDW such an exceptional reputation throughout the CNIC enterprise. As I take the helm, we are embarking on a journey full of uncertainty, but with that uncertainty comes great opportunity. Winston Churchill once said “A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.” I am optimistic about the future of NDW and what we can make it. So let’s seize this mo-
bike rider. Any one of those courses can be found on JBAB or on an installation within Naval District Washington (NDW) at least once a month, he said. “It’s a great class for riders to get certified once again with their state. We get quite a few people who are looking to do that,” Stoefl added. “Though, for those who have never even gotten on a bike before, it’s a fantastic way to learn the basics and get started. The information and hands-on training is extremely valuable.” Air Force Staff Sgt. Chris Tynes was one of 10 participating in a recent basic rider course on JBAB. Despite being a motorcycle veteran for nearly 15 years, he still found the course insightful for the future. “It’s a great course with great instructors. I love the fact that’s it’s also free for service members,” Tynes said. “You can never be too safe out on the road. I always find myself learning new things. That was certainly true with this course.”
ment, and use our collective imaginations to drive and shape our future. I am counting on each of you. I am very much aware that Reduction in Force (RIF) and furloughs and other impacts of reduced funding are very real concerns for you. I will make every effort to keep you up-to-date and ensure you have all of the latest information and tools available to assist you through this challenging time. I will be addressing those and other relevant issues in the future. Finally, I urge you to take precautions and stay safe this summer. Your safety and well-being are my top priority. Every single one of you plays a vital role in carrying out our mission and we need to ensure that you take every precaution to take care of yourselves and your families this vacation season. Let’s enjoy the summer safely and take care of our workforce, Sailors, and Navy families to help make this summer and hurricane season mishap free. Again, thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. Stay safe and keep charging.

Pilot program enhances autism care, treatment for children BY TERRI MOON CRONK AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- A congressionally mandated pilot program set to launch July 25 will enhance an existing Defense Department program that provides care and treatment for military children with autism, a senior DOD official said. Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs and director of the TRICARE Management Activity met with reporters yesterday to explain the new program. An estimated 8,500 children of activeduty military families have a form of autism, Woodson said. He sought to dispel military parents’ concerns about rumors of a potential loss in benefits for their children with
autism and autism spectrum disorder. “We understand that there’s a lot of anxiety in the community of interest around autism about suspected changes that would adversely affect care,” he said. “Providing care to children who have autism spectrum disorder and making sure they get the full range of care they need is a priority to us.” “All care will be continued,” Woodson added, noting that active-duty service members’ children’s autism care benefits in the applied behavior analysis administered through TRICARE would not change. “Anyone who’s receiving care under the (Enhanced Access to Autism Services Demonstration) -- there will be no change,” he said. There’s also no change in benefits to anyone enrolled in the basic medical program that began July 2012, Woodson said. An ex-
pansion of services through the autism pilot program, he added, will also allow retirees and their families to receive ASD benefits. Autism care and treatment is evolving, Woodson said. “In the future, we’ll try to identify what the best practice is for the periodic assessments -- who should get it and over what period of time,” he said, noting the pilot program is expected to yield “great insight” into evaluation protocols. The pilot program was developed by crafting requirements through consulting with experts in the field and advocacy groups to “try to find validated tests and the best strategy for focusing on what would be the right care at the right time for children (with autism),” Woodson said. Woodson said the pilot program’s overall focus is directed at families, and what is best for their child. Parents’ input will be sought
to ensure their issues are represented as the program is shaped, he added. There is “an expanding need and recognition” of military families with children who have autism,” Woodson said. Integral to increasing autism treatment capability, he said, is having a large network of providers that work with autistic children. “We continually try to improve ... (and) expand our network of providers,” he said. “I think we have one of the most robust networks available.” Woodson said it is “paramount” for children with autism to obtain professional reassessments to ensure they get the right care, at the right time, with updated care plans. “That’s what we’re all about,” he said. “Focusing on the child and what’s best and providing the families with access to these services.”

Unique experience awaits 11th Operations Group commander BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIABOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON – Opportunities are abound in the military. Though, not many are quite as unique as what’s been presented to Air Force Col. Richard T. Lindlan – the new commander of the 11th Operations Group (OG) at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). Lindlan, a former student at the National War College at Fort McNair and a 22-year veteran of the Air Force, is charged with overseeing the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard, Air Force Band, its chaplains and civilian staff. He has held various positions at the squadron, wing and combatant levels, including leadership of the Air Force’s first combined Expeditionary Mission Support Squadron in Afghanistan. Leading the 11th OG, however, is an opportunity too good to pass up. “I’m grateful to be able to command such extraordinary men and women. Between the Honor Guard and Air Force Band, we have an incredible mix of young and more experienced Airmen,” Lindlan said. “This makes us a truly one-of-a-kind operations group. I don’t think there’s anyone who portrays the image of the Air Force and our core values better than this group right here.” Helping people in a positive way is why Lindlan joined the Air Force more than two decades ago. He’s proud to be part of a group that prides itself on honor , tradition

the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C. - offer free entry to an air conditioned space to spend time during the warmest parts of the day. A common cause of heat related injuries is dehydration. Water should be drank at all times when the temperature is high, and beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, and especially alcohol - though popular at summer barbeques and other outings - should be avoided. “Alcohol is a diuretic and can cause someone to become dehydrated even though they feel the drinks are satisfying their thirst,” said George Revoir Jr., Naval Support Activity Washington safety installation program director. “Once the ‘buzz’ is begun to be felt persons should switch from alcohol to water to maintain proper hydration.” If a person is affected by a heat emergency they will display certain tell-tale symptoms. Heat exhaustion is characterized by cool, moist, pale, ashen or flushed skin; headache; nausea; dizziness; weakness; and exhaustion. If a person is displaying signs of heat exhaustion the Red Cross advises “moving the person to a cooler environment with circulating air. Remove or loosen as much

clothing as possible and apply cool, wet cloths or towels to the skin. Fanning or spraying the person with water also can help. If the person is conscious, give small amounts of a cool fluid such as a commercial sports drink or fruit juice to restore fluids and electrolytes. Water may also be given. Give about 4 ounces of fluid every 15 minutes.” Heat stroke - usually caused when heat exhaustion is ignored - is a lifethreatening condition characterized by extremely high body temperature; red skin which may be dry or moist; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breathing; confusion; vomiting; and seizures. If signs of heat stroke occur immediately call 911 or base emergency services

and begin cooling the victim. Cool them by immersing the victim in cool water or covering them in cool, damp towels, rotating the towels frequently. If they are alert, give the person sports drinks or water at a rate of a half cup every 15 minutes. “It is important for all personnel to be aware of the harmful effects of summer weather,” said Edward Lewis, NSAW safety & occupational health specialist. “Many of us have jobs that take us out in the heat, or we like to enjoy the outdoors when it’s nice and warm. But if someone doesn’t consider the safety of themselves or those around them, they may become a victim and not only jeopardize their health, but also their ultimate readiness.”

side-by-side with those responsible for making something like that happen.” As with any government or military organization right now, Lindlan said reductions are being implemented across the board. The 11th OG has seen its fair share, as well. This includes cuts in traveling and the number of performances it can take on during the year. While this presents a challenge to the group, it will not deter them from training and organizing events in the local community, Lindlan said. “We have a top notch group that continues to impress me every day. They can handle anything and this is no different,” he noted. “Our responsibility to our nation’s capital, as well as honoring our fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery, remains stronger than ever. Those are things we will never lose sight of.” Lindlan and his family have been living in Woodbridge, Va. for the past four years. Aside from his time in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom, he has not served overseas in any other capacity. If given an opportunity, Lindlan would like to be assigned to Europe. Though, until that happens, he’s having a great time just being an Airman. “I tell people to bloom where they’re planted,” Lindlan added. “I encourage our veteran military to make it better for those coming up the ranks. There’s no greater reward than helping those who follow in your footsteps.”

Navy unveils new initiatives in battle against sexual assaults BY NAVY NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON - Navy leaders have announced their newest sexual assault prevention initiatives in a message and a policy letter designed to continue the service’s battle against this crime. Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, chief of naval operations, outlined additional fleet initiatives recently and directed Sailors to implement some of the best practices proven to help in combating sexual assault in the Navy. Greenert named Rear Adm. Sean S. Buck, director of the 21st Century Sailor Office, to direct the Navy-wide implementation of effort. “Everyone, from [seaman recruit to admiral], must take responsibility for promoting a climate of dignity and respect and an environment that does not demean individuals or tolerate sexist behavior, sexual harassment or sexual assault,” Buck said. “The execution of the sexual assault prevention and response initiatives across the fleet is an imperative that I believe will have an impact on reducing, with the goal of eliminating, the crime of sexual assault from our Navy.” The new initiatives are part of the Navy’s ongoing efforts to provide for the safety and security of every sailor, the admiral said. “We also are emphasizing other programs like Keep What You Earn and Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions
to help our people understand the negative impact that alcohol can have on their lives and how they can support and help their shipmates make good decisions,” he added. While the programs and initiatives are primarily focused on prevention, they also serve as a deterrent and reinforce commanders’ responsibility for victim support, Buck noted. “Commanders have the responsibility for ensuring victims of sexual assault are supported, provided options in accordance with Department of Defense guidance,” he said, “and that the allegations will be independently investigated and offenders held appropriately accountable.” The initiatives, to be implemented by Oct. 1, include increasing leadership visibility with roving barracks patrols led by chief petty officers or experienced officers, and augmented with first class petty officers to deter behavior that may lead to sexual assault or misconduct. Also the Navy will assign dedicated sexual assault prevention and response officers -- lieutenant commander or above -- to U.S. Fleet Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. Naval Forces Europe, Naval Surface Forces, Naval Submarine Forces, Naval Air Forces, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, the Navy’s four systems commands and U.S. Fleet Cyber Command who will report directly to their respective commander.

In addition, the Navy will deploy resilience counselors to CVN and LHD/LHA commands by the end of fiscal year 2014. These counselors will be dedicated civilian professionals with sexual assault response coordinator training, certification and credentials, and they will be able to take restricted and unrestricted reports of sexual assault. The counselors will deploy with carrier strike groups, expeditionary strike groups and amphibious ready groups to provide services, support and coordination for sexual assault prevention and response and continuity of care for suicide prevention, stress reduction and other situations. Additionally, the latest initiatives include implementing best practices from fleet concentration areas throughout the fleet and revising alcohol sales policies at Navy exchanges worldwide. Changes in liquor sales will be implemented over the next 90 days. Liquor will be sold only at main exchanges or at dedicated package stores, and the footprint of alcohol displays and merchandise in stores other than package stores will be no more than 10 percent of the retail floor space. NEX facilities also will make single-use alcohol detection devices available to customers. The new initiatives also direct commands to ensure all sailors residing in barracks attend indoctrination training within 30 days of occupancy.

To reduce vulnerability of sailors while walking on base, commanders will survey facilities to identify areas that require better lighting, visibility or other safety improvements. Each Navy installation and fleet concentration area will have a senior flag officer designated to lead the area sexual assault prevention and response program. This flag officer will establish routine coordination meetings with installation, local command representatives and local community and civic leaders to review program efforts. Duties also will include ensuring a community outreach and engagement plan is part of each area’s program. The plan must include base and region commander cooperation, coordination and consultation with local law enforcement, hospitals and hotels. “Ensuring a command climate of respect, trust and professionalism is critical to combating sexual assault,” Buck said. To this end, he added, commands must review their compliance with command climate surveys, ensuring one is conducted within 90 days of a new commanding officer assuming command and every 12 months thereafter. Also, commanders must ensure they have briefed their immediate superior on their most recent command climate assessment using the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey, including a plan of action and milestones for corrective actions.
