Spirited music highlights Oktoberfest celebration BY PAUL BELLO JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIABOLLING, D.C. – The Slip Inn was just the place for residents and coworkers to kick back and relax Sept. 28, as Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling celebrated Oktoberfest in style with strudels, brats, sauerkraut and live music from one of the region’s most heralded German bands. The Alte Kameraden is an authentic blaskapelle wind band from Fairfax, Va. They have been introducing audiences to their lively, spirited music since 1977.The band

plays more than 50 engagements a year at community events, German-American clubs, summer concerts, Christmas celebrations and New Year’s festivals. Their music is a featured highlight of the annual Open House hosted by the Embassy of Germany, as well as the Swiss National Day celebration by the Embassy of Switzerland and the German military staff’s German Beer Night at Dulles International Airport. The weekend performance at the Slip Inn marked a return to JBAB - and an introduction to many new fans. “They’re a fun band to watch

and listen to. It’s not often you get to hear music like this,” said AsiaWithers, a military spouse and resident of JBAB. “We’re all German on a day like today. They’re just the band to get us in the mood.” In May 2007, the Fairfax Alte Kameraden band took part in America’s 400th anniversary celebration at Jamestown, Va. by presenting a musical program dedicated to early German-American settlers. It most recently performed during the grand opening of the National German-American Heritage Center at Hockemeyer Hall in Washington, D.C.

JBAB recognizes National Fire Prevention Week Oct. 7 - 13 BY JEFF WILLIAMS, BATTALION CHIEF NDW FIRE & EMERGENCY SERVICES

The reality is that when fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a matter of minutes and your chances of escape are reduced drastically. Should this happen, do you and your family know two ways out of your home? It is important to have and practice a home and workplace fire escape plan that prepares you both at home and at work to think fast and get out quickly when the alarm sounds. What if your first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames,

would you know how to get out? That's why having an escape plan and knowing two ways out is such a key part of your plan.This years National Fire Prevention Association theme, Have 2Ways Out! focuses on

the importance of fire escape planning and practice. Fire PreventionWeek was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250

people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on Oct. 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on Oct. 9, 1871. In preparation for this annual safety campaign, the Naval District Washington Fire & Emergency Services would like to remind everyone that you are the first link when it comes to fire safety at work and at home. Ensuring your safety not only includes being fire safe but knowing what to do should you experience a fire at work or at home. Here are some fire safety tips that we suggest you follow to help keep you safe.

Escape Planning According to an NFPA survey, only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, less than half actually practiced it. One-third of Americans households who made and estimate they thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. The

OSD visit provides joint basing perspective BY SENIOR AIRMAN JARAD A. DENTON 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. (AFNS) -- Often, when the words "jointbasing" are spoken in conversations between service members, they invoke myriad responses. ThiswascertainlythecaseastheJoint Base Langley-Eustis concept was discussed in depth between senior leaders from both Langley Air Force Base and Fort Eustis,Va., and the Office of the Secretary of Defense on Sept. 20 and 21. "Joint basing is hard," said Air Force Col. Charles Perham, deputy director of basing with the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense. "There are 46 separate installation support functions where the services had to develop common definitions for working with one

another. The best solutions often bridge across service lines." Joint basing began in 2005 after the president passed into law the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission which realigned 26 geographically proximate installations into 12 joint bases with one service taking the lead at each location. "Joint bases are viewed as national assets," Perham said. "They are unique and therefore receive a lot of attention." Much of that attention focuses on the aims of joint basing, which are to optimize the delivery of installation support - finding the best ways for those 46 functions to work effectively, and through innovation, developing best practices and efficiencies. "These bases have the opportunities to be engines of innovation for the DOD," Perham said. "Even though we merged bases together, we are continu-

ally striving to preserve unique service culture and heritage." Perham said military innovation exists as a way to introduce new methods and procedures into practices and operations. He said the unforeseen benefits joint basing offers toward innovation and cultural appreciation within the military are tremendous. "We deploy to joint environments," Perham said. "A service member assigned to a joint base as their first assignment should have a leg up on a deployment over someone assigned to a regular installation." With nearly 900 service members from Langley and Fort Eustis currently deployed, the benefits to understanding joint service operations can be seen both downrange and at the joint base.

Biden, Odierno announce education milestone for military kids BY LISA DANIEL AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

FAIRFAX, Va. – More than 100 colleges and universities have signed on to aWhite House initiative to prepare educators for the unique needs of their military-connected students, Dr. Jill Biden announced today. Biden, wife of the vice president, made the announcement at George Mason University here as part of the latest accomplishment of the “Joining Forces” campaign she began in April 2010 with First Lady Michelle Obama to rally Americans to support the health, education and employment needs of military families Biden noted that she is a “military mom” of a National Guard soldier and a community college teacher. In those roles and as second lady, she said,“I have heard over and over from military families just how important it is that school be a supportive environment for children.” Military children change school systems, on average, six to nine times, Biden said. “Through each transition, they are faced with leaving their friends and adjusting to new schools and new surroundings, all of which can affect a student’s opportunity to achieve academic success,” she said. “As a teacher, this issue is particularly close to my heart.” Through the initiative, Biden said, all teachers can make an impact on military children. “I know future educators across the country will be better prepared to make a difference in the life of a military child.” The initiative is co-sponsored by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and the Military Child Education Coalition. As part of the initiative, participating colleges and universities, including George Mason, implement guiding principles in their prepara-

Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, speaks about being a military mother during a "Joining Forces" campaign event on educating educators at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Oct. 3. Biden said more than 100 colleges and universities have signed a commitment to help prepare educators to be more responsive to the social, emotional and academic needs of military children. tion programs and partner with schools that serve Kindergarten through Grade 12 students to ensure future educators have the knowledge and skills to meet the needs of military-connected students. Biden was joined by Gen. RaymondT. Odierno, Army chief of staff, who said he understands the challenges faced by military families -he moved his wife and children 24 times during his 36-year military career, causing his son and daughter to change schools during each year of high school. Today, Odierno said, his children are successful adults in large part be-

cause of their military upbringing, the resilience it adds, and the teachers who took an interest in them. “They are successful because there happened to be someone who wanted to nurture their abilities,” he said. The key to the nomadic lifestyle of military children, the general said, is that “their experiences should be rich and diverse in schools.” The initiative, called “Operation Educate the Educators,” will help ensure positive experiences for military children, 80 percent of whom attend public schools, Odierno said. He added that “the social piece is

perhaps the most important piece” to a child frequently changing schools. The Army also hosts several programs to ensure the school success of military children, including tutoring programs and placing military liaison officers in all schools that serve Army families, Odierno said. He added that the military’s interest in educating service members’ children goes back to at least 1866 when the Army established schools on installations for solders’ children -- 62 years before the United States adopted compulsory education for children.

Odierno introduced Felicity and Abigail Horan, twins of Army Lt. Col. Dave Horan, who recently moved to the Fairfax area, to explain to teachers in the audience about their military lifestyle. Now in the seventh grade, the girls are attending their fifth school, brought on by eight military relocations, Felicity explained. She told of “always saying goodbye” to friends and that their father missed five of their birthdays. But, Felicity said,“Don’t feel sorry for us…. We are stronger because of our experiences.” Some teachers have made a difference in their lives, Felicity said, singling out her third-grade teacher in Florida who “always asked how my dad was doing” when he was deployed. “Ms. Beck just knew the right things to say at the right time,” she said. “I thought she had a gift from God.” Patty Shinseki, a leader in MCEC and wife of retired Army Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, secretary of the Veterans Affairs Department, also spoke at the event. Like Odierno, Shinseki said her children changed schools many times during the family’s 38 years of service, and“it provided opportunities for new connections and personal growth.” Operation Educate the Educators, she said, is another way to ensure that military children are better off for their families’ service.The operation, she told military children in the audience, “aims to serve you -you who shoulder the sacrifices of serving right along with your parents, by ensuring that our educators know and understand the intricacies of life in the military and will ensure that your transitions are smoother.”

Dempsey: Americans will shape image of modern vet BY JIM GARAMONE AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Now is when the image of today’s generation of veterans is being formed, and Americans need to have a dialogue on what that image will be, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said recently during a lecture in Manhattan, Kan. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said he believes the conversation among Americans about today’s veterans has started. “I’m just trying to turn up the volume a bit,” he added. Dempsey delivered the Landon Lecture at Kansas State University, and used the prestigious platform to focus attention on the dialogue. Each generation of Americans has formed an image of its veterans. Dempsey spoke of the way America thought of the veterans who fought in Europe and the Pacific during World War II and that generation’s post-war contributions. Americans also formed images of their veterans returning from Korea and Vietnam. “Every generation of Americans does that, and it’s now time for us,” the chairman said.

Today’s veterans have shown courage, resilience, resolve and adaptability, and this must be taken into account as Americans form their image of this generation, he said. To an extent, the veterans of today are no different from their predecessors. “We are America’s sons and daughters from all across the country, from all walks of life, from myriad backgrounds,” he said. Today, more than 2 million service members in all components are “proud to wear the cloth of their country and to go wherever, and do whatever we need to do to serve in peace and in war. That’s enduring,” the chairman said. But some things set this generation apart from earlier ones, Dempsey noted. This military is an all-volunteer force. Only one in four young Americans even qualify to serve in the military, and this means there is a smaller number of Americans with first-hand military experience than in past generations. “That’s got to mean something to the nation,” he said. The force is mostly married, Dempsey added, a

sea change from his early years in the Army. And,“as of a few months ago, we now are serving in the longest conflict in our nation’s history,” he said. “We’ve asked probably the most significant contribution, over time, from our reserve components,” he said. And most service members have served numerous tours in combat. The wars they are fighting are different from those in the past, the nation’s top military officer said, and the asymmetric nature of the current battle means that any place is at risk with no real place of safety for an in-country break. “When you are in it, you are in it,” he said. “Think about a young man or woman on patrol in parts of Afghanistan today, where the underground buried mine is a prevalent form of warfare. [They] exhibit incredible courage on the one hand, but there is incredible anxiety on the other, not knowing whether your next step could potentially be your last.” A veteran coming out of Iraq or Afghanistan “goes from life at Mach

4 to something far slower and somewhat more muted,” the chairman said. “When I look at how we prepare veterans to move into civilian society, … there’s some work we can do.” Understanding who veterans are and what pressures they underwent for the country is a part of the discussion, but vets themselves have a responsibility in the dialogue, Dempsey said.“We all say thanks to [service members], but how often do we take the time to ask them to share their experiences, and how often are [they] willing to share their experiences?” he asked. Many times, even the toughest of veterans will say that coming home is even tougher than being in the combat zone, the chairman said. “It’s the emotional fear of constantly having to reintegrate with your family as they grow while you are not there,” he said. “There is in combat a singular focus – you know exactly what you have to do. Your purpose is defined, your mission is clear, the enemy will always try to confuse you, there will be fog and friction, but

you have a sense of clarity that’s uncanny. Coming home, it is tough to reconcile that.” Overall, the chairman said, the image of today’s veterans is positive. “The veterans of the past decade have each in their own way served heroically – but they are not all heroes,” Dempsey said. “Many have experienced real horrors of war – but they are not all victims. All have served America and want to continue to serve her as they transition into your civilian communities.” Given what these vets have done for America, it is in the country’s best interest“that we allow this generation of veterans to contribute, to bring their strengths and their passionate curiosity,” he said. “To the extent that we all agree we want a stronger America, then we ought to find a way to ensure that these veterans are a part of it and work with them.” Ultimately, who these veterans are and the image of them that Americans share “is a question that must be answered by them and by the nation that sent them to war,” Dempsey said.

2012 Jazz Heritage Series - Bring on the Jazz! BY CHIEF MASTER SGT. JENN PAGNARD THE U.S. AIR FORCE BAND

WASHINGTON -- This Fall, there will be three exciting opportunities to see the Airmen of Note and featured guest artists perform as a part of the 2012 Jazz Heritage Series. All of the concerts are free and nonticketed. Each concert begins at 8 p.m. and take place at The George Washington University' s Lisner Auditorium, 730 21st Street N.W., Washington, D.C. The series kicks off on Saturday, Oct. 12, featuring vocal sensation Roberta Gambarini. A dynamic performer with virtuosic vocal chops, stunning musicality and unwavering intonation, she draws rave reviews and enthusiastic fan support wherever she performs. Born in the northwestern Italian city of Torino, she started singing in local jazz clubs as a teenager before moving to Milan, where she worked in radio and television and began recording in 1986. Two of her albums have been nominated twice for a GRAMMY in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category. Gambarini's "formidable talent" (DownBeat Magazine) has also garnered her wins as the 2010 and 2007 Female Jazz Vocalist of the Year from the Jazz Journalists Association; the 2007 Talent Deserving Wider Recognition and the 2008 Rising Star Female Vocalist of the Year (both from DownBeat Magazine's Annual Critics Poll.) The next concert in the series is on Friday, Oct. 26, featuring world-class trombonist Andy Martin. His sparkling bebop lines and consummate musicianship make him equally at home on the stage or in the studio, and he maintains a busy schedule in L.A. as a recording artist, sideman and section player, while traveling frequently for guest appearances. Martin has long been one of L.A.'s first call trombonists for commercial recordings, television and motion pictures and live theater. He has contributed on albums for many popular artists, including the Pussycat Dolls, Coldplay and Michael Buble. His television credits include every major awards show, as well as lead trombonist on "Dancing With The Stars" in every season dating back to its inception in 2005 and "American Idol" in sea-

sons 1-3. Martin has appeared regularly on the soundtracks of hit television shows like "Family Guy," "American Dad," "King of the Hill" and many others. His motion picture credits include the soundtracks of over 150 major films, including a project with GRAMMY winning rap artist Kanye West for the soundtrack of "Mission Impossible III." He can also be heard on the soundtracks of such movies as "Tin Tin," "Glory Road," "Rush Hour" and "Planet of the Apes," and animated hits like "Monsters, Inc." and "Cars," as well as "Spiderman," "Enemy of the State," "Armageddon" and "Patch Adams." The final concert is on Friday, Nov. 9, featuring acclaimed vibraphonist Joe Locke. Widely considered to be one of the major voices of his instrument, he has performed and recorded with a diverse range of notable musicians, including Grover Washington Jr, Kenny Barron, Eddie Henderson, Dianne Reeves, Ron Carter, The Beastie Boys, the Mnster Symphony Orchestra and the Lincoln, Nebraska Symphony. Long known to be a soloist capable of stunning physical power and broad emotional range, it was not until the last decade that he emerged as the composer, band leader and conceptualist that he is considered today. Locke has won numerous awards and polls, including the 2006, 2008 and 2009 "Mallet Player of the Year" award from the Jazz Journalists Association. The Airmen of Note has performed its popular Jazz Heritage Series since 1990. Since its inception, music critics and concertgoers alike have praised the series. Throughout its long history, the Airmen of Note has regularly performed and recorded with the leading artists in the jazz world. The list of guest artists featured with the Note truly reads like a "who's who" of the jazz music industry. The Airmen of Note's Jazz Heritage Series provides a wonderful opportunity for the public to experience the Air Force's high level of professionalism through concerts featuring masters of the only Americanborn art form--jazz music.

Navy Surgeon General charts strategic course for Navy Medicine BY SHOSHONA PILIP-FLOREA U.S. NAVY BUREAU OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY PUBLIC AFFAIRS

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (NNS) -- The U.S. Navy's top doctor released his strategy map for the future of Navy Medicine on his headquarters' website, Oct. 1. Readiness, value and jointness were the three clear priorities or goals laid out for Navy Medicine in the plan titled, "Navy Medicine: Charted Course." Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan, U.S. Navy surgeon general and chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, chose the date for release to coincidewiththenewfiscalyearfortheDepartment of Defense representing a new way of thinking and a new way of conducting business for the community he leads. Navy Medicine is the second largest community in the Navy with more than 63,000 personnel dispersed globally.

for our naval forces that our nation demands. When the world dials 9-1-1, it is not to make an appointment." Each of the goals of value, readiness and jointness have measurements and metrics assigned to them to track their success which will continue to be assessed and evaluated over the next year. For example, one of the metrics that will be tracked for the value goal includes enrollee network costs and the ability of Navy medical treatment facilities to recapture out of network care. All three goals also have strategic enabling objectives included to help accomplish them. According to the plan, "Strategic enablers helporganizationsachievethesuccessofagoal or objective. For example, Navy Medicine is a strategic enabler for the Department of the Navybecauseitdeliversforcehealthprotection and a ready force able to meet mission." The plan maps out a course for achieving thevalue,readinessandjointnessgoalsthrough optimizing the use of medical informatics, technology and telemedicine, standardizing clinical, non-clinical and business processes, and improving strategic communication and message alignment across the enterprise.

"Medical informatics and use of telemedicine solutions will create efficiencies and improve responsiveness to the needs of [Navy Medicine's] stakeholders and customers. This in turn adds value and improves overall readiness," according to the plan. Nathan also used the plan to reiterate his guiding principles for all Navy Medicine which he conveyed to the enterprise in a video message earlier this year. "IwanttotalkaboutthephilosophyI'vehad ever since I've been in command and if you've worked for me before, you've heard it," Nathan said in his video message. "It's ship, shipmate, self - take care of the ship, take care of each other, take care of yourself." According to Nathan, the "ship" is the mission, whether it be caring for patients or creating a new vaccine or properly training and equippingournextgroupofcorpsmen.Hesaid "shipmate" represents his expectation that all Navy Medicine personnel be vigilant to the needs and actions of those they serve with, always preserving the ethos and professionalism that are the pinnacle of Navy Medicine. Finally, the"self"isimportantbecauseNathanbelieves Navy Medicine personnel cannot care for oth-

ersandmeetthemissioniftheyarenotfirstcaring for themselves. "Asking for help is a sign of strength," according to the guiding principles laid out in the Navy Medicine plan. "You must constantly reflect on your own needs and those of your family.Speakupsowecanbetterequipyoutomeet the challenges you are facing." Theplanalsohighlightedtheimportanceof self-reflection and awareness as a critical part of successful leadership. Navy Medicine's complete mission and vision including the strategy map and accompanying documents is available online at: http://www.med.navy.mil/Pages/MissionandVision.aspx Navy Medicine is a global health care network of more than 63,000 Navy medical personnel around the world who provide high quality health care to more than one million eligible beneficiaries.

JOINTBASEANDREWS,Md.(AFNS)--The 2012 Caring for People Forum concluded at JointBaseAndrewsSept.27withapresentation of initiatives to members of the Air Force's Community Action Information Board and Integrated Delivery System. Since its establishment in 2009, the Caring for People Forum has evolved into a two-day seminar during which attendees divide into working groups at the beginning and develop initiatives to fix Air Force issues that affect Airmen and their families. More than 140 active-duty, Guard, Reserve and civilian Air Force members participated in theforum,eachcontributingtheiruniquetotal force perspective on the issues discussed during the working group meetings. "These issues all relate to how the Air Force takescareofitsAirmenandtheirfamilies,"said Carl Buchanan, the Caring for People Forum manager. "Without the participants' input, we can'tachievetheforum'sultimategoal--mak-

ing the Air Force better." During their presentations, group leaders spoke on why initiatives were chosen and how CAIB and IDS members could potentially resolveeachconcern.Twelveissueswerebriefed, with top initiatives revolving around similar subject matters. Some of the discussed initiatives include the Air Force's Exceptional Family Member Program, housing options for single Airmen, andimmigrationandnaturalizationassistance programs. Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley, who spoke at the conclusion of the forum, told the participants there's nothing more important to the Air Force than its Airmen and their families. "By attending this forum, you have provided leadership with a glimpse into how we can enhancethelivesofourmostimportantasset," Donley said. "By attending, you not only help them but have taken steps to actively improve the whole force." Air Force CAIB and IDS members will meet in October to discuss the initiatives and decide uponcoursesofactiontoaddresstheconcerns.

"We have a very robust deployment mission built into JBLE," said U.S. Air Force Col. Korvin Auch, 633rd Air BaseWing commander. "Anyonewhohasbeendownrangeknowsthatjoint is the way we do business in that environment." Auch said the focus of the joint base has always been geared toward completing the mission and meeting the needs of the nation. "Joint bases are all about the mission," Auch said. "It's tougher in a resource-constrained environment, but JBLE is successful because we are getting the mission done." During these lean financial times, Perham said service members at all levels have been askedtolookforproactivemeanstosavemoney, manpower and resources. While data on

how Joint Base Langley-Eustis has been performing is forthcoming, Perham said the bridge toward the future of joint basing can onlybestrengthenedthrougheducationofthe joint base concept at all levels. "The job of the leaders at joint bases is to educate," he said. "JBLE is unique because its bases are geographically separate; therefore, it brings unique challenges and strengths to the table." One of the challenges between Fort Eustis and Langley is communicating well while preserving service culture. Perham said different ways of handling a situation can exist between services,butthroughcooperationthefinalway forward can be stronger, while still respectful of each service's unique identity. "Change is difficult," Perham said. "Joint basing is here to stay. Service members need to be open-minded and ask themselves how they can do their job better in a joint environment."

Warfighting: Navy Wounded Warrior Program moves to Commander BY COMMANDER, NAVY INSTALLATIONS COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy Wounded Warrior - Safe Harbor program has realigned from Total Force Requirements Division (OPNAV N12) to Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) as of Oct. 1. NavyWoundedWarrior - Safe Harbor provides non-medical assistance to seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen, as well as their families.The program will become N95, a department of Fleet and Family Readiness Program (N9) within CNIC. "Caring for our wounded warriors is among the Navy's top priorities and I am extremely honored to assume responsibility for such a critically important program," said Vice Adm. William D. French, commander, Navy Installations Command. "NavyWounded Warrior - Safe Harbor joins a host of other programs within N9 providing essential support to the fleet, fighter, and family." Although the program is moving to a new command, its mission and operations will remain intact. The program's goal is to enable service members to focus on getting well, while its team of experts resolves pressing non-medical concerns and prepares enrollees for transition back to active duty or civilian life. The realignment will help Navy Wounded Warrior - Safe Harbor better leverage existing services available at Navy installations throughout the world, including child care, financial management training, housing assistance and adaptive sports. "The vision of Navy Wounded Warrior Safe Harbor is to provide the gold-standard of non-medical care to wounded warriors and their families who have sacrificed a great deal while serving our country," said Capt. Steve Hall, program director. "Our realignment with

Morris during a ceremony at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda, Md. Morris is enrolled in Navy Safe Harbor, the Navy's wounded warrior support program. CNIC will grant us wider access to programs and resources that will help us achieve that vision." The move marks the launch of the new NavyWoundedWarrior - Safe Harbor call center, a crucial resource for seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen inquiring about enrollment in the program. The new toll-free, 24-hour telephone number is 1-855-NAVY WWP/1-855-628-9997.

Enrollment is available to service members wounded in combat, as well as to those diagnosed with a serious illness or injured in shipboard, training and liberty accidents. Currently, more than 915 Sailors and Coast Guardsmen are enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior - Safe Harbor. The program also provides support to more than 875 additional service members who don't qualify for enrollment but still require assistance.

Care for wounded warriors is a key component of the Department of the Navy's 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, which is designed to maximize Sailor and Marine personal readiness, build resiliency, and hone the most combat-effective force. For more information, call 1-855-NAVY WWP/1-855-628-9997, visit http://safeharbor.navylive.dodlive.mil or email safeharbor@navy.mil.
