NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

Staying safe amongst the flames By Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer While in the midst of the Fourth of July season, it's easy to imagine what the quintessential activities associated with it would be: grilling and other "flammable" outdoor fun. But, as an even more critical part of the 101 Critical Days of Summer, the midsummer days present their own challenges to safety with barbecues and some risky outdoor activities. Many preventable mishaps impact service members' operational readiness during this time. Starting with grilling, according to the Naval Safety Center (NSC), while thankfully there have been no fatalities resulting from grilling accidents from fiscal year 2007-2011, there have been 49 mishaps involving Sailors and Marines. The victims of these mishaps spent nearly 80 days in the hospital, losing 384 work days, and spending 470 days on light duty. The emphasis on these statistics, according to NSC, is that many of them could be easily prevented. From a presentation on grilling safety by NSC, here are two case reports on how accidents occurred: one incident in-

volved someone who used gasoline to help ignite the grill. It exploded and burned him from his waist to his neck and arms. In another incident, this time involving a gas grill, the electric spark igniter didn’t work. Gas was allowed to flow for approximately 30 seconds and the mishap victim used a cigarette lighter to start the grill resulting in an explosion. It can be obviously noted that a lot of the activities involving grilling and fire involve simple common sense in order to prevent mishaps. Gas and charcoal grills should never be used indoors: even if a fire does not spread, a potentially deadly buildup of carbon monoxide and other gases can occur. To prevent fire spreading, according to the NSC, keep the grill at least 10 feet away from siding, decks and railings. Keep it out from under eaves and overhanging branches. As noted earlier, gasoline should never be used to help start a charcoal grill; use only an instructed amount of lighter fluid and never apply lighter fluid to hot or already ignited coals as it can cause a dangerous flare up. One major aspect of fire safety involves the most vulnerable amongst a group: children.

Award Presented to Human Resources Office-Washington for 5th Consecutive Year By Benjamin Christensen and MC2 Kiona Miller, NDW Public Affairs The Human Resources OfficeWashington (HRO-W), located at the Washington Navy Yard, received the conflict management and mediation recognition award at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar June 26. The Labor and Employee Relations (LER) department and the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) department worked in conjunction to help managers and employees focus on the mission of their commands, rather than spending time and resources in administrative adjudication of workplace conflicts. “The award itself is extremely rewarding,” said Kelly Majiros, one of HRO-W's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program coordinators. “I think it can be easy to overlook how intensive and time consuming the work

can be, and our staff worked very hard.” Majiros emphasized that the HRO-W leadership has worked tirelessly to ensure that their staff is properly equipped to utilize ADR models in conflict resolution. "They really promote and support the staff to make sure that they are trained, so they can then educate our customers on the benefits and values of ADR," said Majiros. Each year the Department of Navy’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program evaluates the effectiveness of Human Resource Offices and recognizes those who achieve or exceed the Conflict Management and Mediation Model (CM 3) standards. There are four areas in which the DoN tests to ensure that the program's standards are compliant: a staff properly trained in ADR, ensuring that staff is trained to provide training to customers, that staffs utilize ADR tech-

niques consistent with Navy guidelines, and that they utilize relevant data systems. Consistent with DON policy, HRO-W offers mediation and facilitation to managers and employees so that workplace disputes may be resolved quickly. ADR is designed to improve relationships and provide closure by utilizing realistic options. HRO-W has ensured an ADR staff is available to resolve disputes, provide conflict management training, and ensure ADR mediators are certified and that they maintain their mediator competency. CM3 was designed to measure the Human Resources Offices efforts to achieve an effective ADR program. This year Human Resources Office-Washington received formal recognition for its efforts in promoting, establishing and utilizing ADR techniques. The LER department’s primary focus is resolvedisputesatthelowestlevelpossibleandto

use resources like mediation to avoid arbitration, or a court hearing. According to Majiros, ADR techniques are used whenever possible as theyavoidmorecostlyortimeconsumingways of dispute resolution, such as litigation. According to Majiros, many participants in HRO-W's promoted ADR are satisfied with the results. She highlighted that instead of an adversarial process, they promote the mediation process which restores working relationships instead of finalizing the break-up of those relationships. Kim McManus of HRO-W attended the Workplace ADR Conference onboard MCAS Miramar to accept the organization’s award. This is HRO-W’s fifth consecutive CM3 Award. Naval District Washington joins the Department of the Navy Alternative Dispute Resolution Program in congratulating HRO-W for this achievement and honor.

Sailor Stops Attempted Suicide Atop Coronado Bay Bridge Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Fuel) 1st Class (AW/SW) David Lawrence, Air Department'sV4 Division maintenance leading petty officer, first responded to a 60-year-old man's suicide attempt approximately 4 a.m. after pulling over to assist with what he thought would be a flat tire. Lawrence, on his way to the gym before work, saw the car in front of him slow and pull to the side of the bridge near the bridge's apex. "I saw he was an older guy and he didn't have his hazard [lights] on, so I didn't want him to get hit - and he was in a black Fiat and it was dark out," Lawrence said. "Most people going over the bridge at that time won't be paying attention; they're just trying to wake up." However, Lawrence's decision to stop was rooted in his deeply held belief that one's actions have direct consequences, either positive or negative. "I try to help anybody I can. What comes around goes around - I sincerely believe that," Lawrence said. "Somebody is returning the favors. My health is good. My family's health is all good. [So I take] any opportunity I get to help somebody." As Lawrence asked the driver if he needed assistance, he watched as the man climbed over the concrete barrier and onto the bridge's ledge. "I stopped right where I was at," Lawrence said. "I put my

hands up where he could see them; I didn't want to make any hasty moves." Lawrence immediately called upon the training he received while deployed in the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) program. Lawrence said the information and intervention skills he learned from the two-day workshop helped him that morning. "Just ACT: ask, care, treat," Lawrence said. "I didn't get to the 'treat' part; the FBI negotiators and cops got that. But I asked the guy." Lawrence's actions also proved how important how the "care" aspect is as well.When asked by the police if he wanted to leave the scene, Lawrence declined. "I told the cops that I was the first one talking to him," Lawrence said. "I don't know if this guy got abandoned by someone and so I didn't want him to see me get in my car and leave. So I stayed there the whole time." For 15 to 20 minutes, Lawrence talked to the man, trying to prevent him from jumping while also flagging passing drivers to call for assistance. Aware of the magnitude of his choice of words, Lawrence said he talked about his experiences in the U.S. Navy. "My thought was, 'Please don't jump. How am I going to keep this guy from jumping? What can I possibly say that will

First Lady Joins Illinois Governor to Help Military Families By Scott A. Thornbloom, Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs The First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, joined the governor of Illinois at a bill signing in the Illinois National Guard Armory June 26, to support military families as they seek employment and hold on to professional certifications. The signing was in front of more than 250 uniformed military members and family members. The bill is called the Illinois Military Family Licensing Act and its purpose is to help service members and their spouses obtain the professional licenses they need to continue working after the family relocates to Illinois for military service. "Our military families make great sacrifices every day, and they shouldn't have to put their career on hold while their loved ones are serving their country overseas," said Gov. Pat Quinn. "This new law will strengthen Illinois and allow these dedicated professionals to waste no time in finding work and making a difference as they settle into their new home." The signing of Illinois Senate Bill 275 makes Illinois the 23rd state to adopt pro-military spouse license portability legislation. As part of her Joining Forces initiative to honor, recognize and support military families, Michelle Obama has been an advocate for the 100,000 military spouses who serve in professions that require state licenses or certification, and have to bear high financial burdens to transfer their credentials from state to state as they serve this country. In February, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden asked Quinn and the rest of the country's governors and spouses to improve job portability for military spouses in their states. Now, 23 states have similar legislation, including Illinois, and an addi-

tional seven states have pending legislation. "Because of Governor Quinn's efforts, more military spouses will be able to advance in their careers," said Obama. "More businesses, hospitals and schools will get the talented, experienced workers they rely on. And more families will have the income they need and the financial security they deserve. And above all, military families will know that America has their back, we are working hard every day to serve them as well as they have served this country." Illinois is the home to three major military bases - Naval Station Great Lakes, Scott Air Force Base and Rock Island Arsenal. Naval Station Great Lakes is known as "The Quarterdeck of Navy" and site of the only "boot camp" in the Navy, Recruit Training Command (RTC) that transforms civilians into Sailors. Scott Air Force Base, located near Belleville, Ill., and 20 miles east of St. Louis, is the headquarters for the U.S. Transportation Command. The Rock Island Arsenal, in Rock Island, Ill., or the Quad-Cities, is a major weapons manufacturing facility in the U.S. More than 100 Sailors from Naval Station Great Lakes attended the bill signing, including Rear Adm. David F. Steindl, commander, Naval ServiceTraining Command (NSTC), who oversees the operations and training held at RTC. "It is a great day for our spouses and families, who are the backbone of the Military. They do so much for us and the careers of our Sailors; it is great to see them receive this support and recognition of their service. This will have a positive impact on families, who are constantly making sacrifices for our country," said Steindl. "Additionally Mrs. Obama's Joining Forces campaign is having a real impact on Navy families. She is really dedicated to our Sailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen." The Navy had the biggest contingent of military members and their families in the crowd, including more than 50 Recruit Division Commanders (RDCs) and staff members from RTC.

First Lady Michelle Obama and military dignitaries look on as Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signs Senate Bill 275 during a ceremony at the Illinois National Guard Armory. The bill allows service members and their spouses to obtain a six-month temporary license while state credentials are transferred to Illinois. The other Navy representatives came from the Navy Region Midwest, the Naval Station and Navy Recruiting District Chicago. "The Navy was well-represented here. They were locked onto every word the first lady and Governor Quinn had to say because they know how important this bill is to our families," said Steindl. State agencies that issue occupational licenses, including the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the State Board of Education (IDFPR), will be able to grant temporary licenses to military members and spouses who hold credentials in other states in more than 50 professions, such as teachers, doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers,

paramedics, social workers, dieticians and therapists. In addition to temporary, six-month licenses, the Act allows IDFPR to consider all relevant experience and training a service member has gained through military service towards meeting certain permanent state licensing requirements. These provisions will help military members and their spouses more easily navigate the patchwork of nonuniform regulations across all 50 states. The law takes effect Jan. 1. "This bill will be a big benefit because it is very difficult to move from state to state and

FY13 Quotas Announced From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs Quotas from the Fiscal Year (FY) 13 Active Duty E7 Board show Navy's force management initiatives are having some positive results, resulting in advancement opportunity increasing 5.73 points from 18.23 percent in FY12 to 23.96 percent for the FY13 board. With approximately 4,400 quotas for this board, the Navy is ensuring the fleet has the right mix of Sailors with appropriate skills and experience to meet the Navy's mission. The expected improvement in advancement opportunity is the result of balancing the force across ratings, and it is expected that opportunity will move slightly downward in coming years and level off. The selection board convened June 18 in Millington, Tenn. and will review the records of approximately 18,900 E-6s.

Notable opportunity this cycle is in the Logistics Specialist (Submarine) (LS grp 1) with 100 percent opportunity and 22 quotas, rising from 73.8 percent opportunity and 31 quotas from FY12 rates. Also showing strong opportunity is Yeoman (Submarine) (YN Grp 1) at 55.77 percent and 29 quotas from 33.93 with 19 quotas in FY12. Communities seeing a decrease from FY12 include the Firecontrolman Technician (FT), down from 38.46 percent with 35 quotas to 12.50 percent with 10 quotas for FY13. Aviation Structural Mechanic - Equipment (AME) also saw a drop this board with FY12 having 29.73 percent opportunity with 33 quotas to 11.70 percent with 11 quotas for FY13.

Terminally Ill Boy's Wish Comes True By Master-At-Arms 1st Class Robert Curtin, Center for Security Forces Public Affairs The Center for Security Forces participated in making the wish of young terminally ill boy come true Jun 22. Devin Hensley, a 9-year-old Make-A-Wish Foundation participant, has been touring Navy commands in the San Diego region all week with members of his family. For three decades, Make-A-Wish Foundation has taken the wish of children who face life-threatening conditions, like that of Devin, and turned them into a dream come true. Experiencing the thrill of helicopters, ships, and submarines young Devin seemed to find each day more exhilarating than the last. "It has been overwhelming with excitement each day and he says, 'it was the best day ever,'" said Devin's mother Leslie Hensley. Gunner's Mate 1st Class (SW) Ross Mcknown and Gunner's Mate 2nd Class (SW) Joel Moorman helped Devin and his sister Addison qualify on the Small Arms Weapons Simulator, which uses laser-emitting weapons. Each weapon has the same design and performance characteristics as the livefire counterpart and all of which brings the student as close to a real-life situation as possible. Devin and Addison each had an opportunity to shoot a M9 service pistol, the M-240

and .50 caliber machine gun. "Being able to help grant a wish is an amazing feeling," said McKnown. "I will take this memory with me for the rest of my life." "The Make-A-Wish program is fantastic and to couple it with the Navy was even better," said Curt Patera who serves as the course manager for the Small Arms Marksmanship Course at the training site. Devin was presented with a weapons qualification certificate after having demonstrated exceptional weapons proficiency. He also received an official small arms instructor T-shirt and both he and Addison were given CENSECFOR command coins as a keepsake of their visit. The honor, courage, and commitment of Devin Hensley not only brings great credit upon himself and that of his family, but it is also in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Navy. Detachment San Diego is one of 14 training sites within the Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) domain.The Center for Security Forces provides specialized training to more than 22,000 students each year in the U.S. and around the world.

FLAMES Continued from 1 can cause a dangerous flare up. One major aspect of fire safety involves the most vulnerable amongst a group: children. Always maintain an at least three-foot safety radius around grills, and do not let children or pets enter that area. To further avoid possible accidents involving children, set up grills outside of high foot-traffic areas. Another popular activity that poses a risk for everyone involved is the use of fireworks. If one chooses to use fireworks this summer, first make sure they are even legal in the area in which you live. With regards to Naval District Washington (NDW), Maryland, D.C. and Virginia all have very strict laws regarding the purchase or use of fireworks: all three jurisdictions prohibit the sale or use of aerial fireworks or firecrackers (those that leave the ground such as bottle rockets or mortars, or those which actively explode). According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, that does not mean,

however, that those that are legal are not without risks of their own: sparklers, for instance, burn at temperatures approaching 2,000 degrees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hot enough to melt gold. Sparklers and similar spark-emitting devices like fountains can quickly ignite combustible material and cause serious burns. No matter the type, if one chooses to use fireworks this season, keep these things in mind: Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse, back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks, never try to relight or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully, and never point or throw fireworks at another person. If you keep these tips in mind while you're stoking the flames this Fourth of July season, it is possible to keep the season both safe and fun. For more information on grilling safety, visit the Naval Safety Center at http://www.public.navy.mil/navsafecen and for more information on firework/outdoor safety visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission at http://www.cpsc.gov/info/ fireworks/index.html.

Sailors act to rebuild Soldiers of Reason: The Rand Corporation and the medical system Book review

Courtesy NATO Training MissionAfghanistan, Armed Forces Academy of Medical Sciences The future of Afghanistan’s medical doctors is on a firm foundation due to the dedicated work of Lt. Cmdr. Shauna O’Sullivan and Lt. Cmdr Casey Flanagan. Stationed atWalter Reed National Military Hospital in Bethesda, MD, they both answered the call to rebuild the graduate medical education system at the Kabul National Military Hospital, a system which had fallen into ruins during the last decade. As part of the NATO Training MissionAfghanistan (NTM-A) Armed Forces Academy of Medical Sciences (AFAMS) coalition advisory team, they worked closely with their Afghan counterparts, building a graduate

medical education system from the ground up. It has been a challenging and rewarding experience for both. “The way to improve medical care and promote a sustainable medical system is to assure that the medical leaders of tomorrow have the skills and knowledge they need, now and into the future,” said O’Sullivan. During their 9 month deployment, they worked with Afghan physicians to build seven training programs in diverse fields of medicine from surgery to their own specialty of internal medicine. They logged over 200 missions outside the wire, putting them at personal risk. They both agree that it was well worth it. “The Afghan doctors are the future of a quality health care system for Afghan military

Rise of the American Empire Review by Commander Aboul-Enein

by Alex Abella, Published by Harcourt, New York. 343 pages, 2008. Despite the unfortunate title and the lead into the book that paints RAND as a secretive think-tank that is a driving force of the United States Government, the reality is that RAND provides an invaluable service by furnishing the United States Government and our military with independent research, reports and questions that causes decision-makers to think about matters of great complexity. RAND opened its doors to the author, who is a novelist and contributing writer for the Los Angeles Times and the book does settle into a more realistic history. RAND the organization, and some of its ideas have become policy, other ideas stimulated thought, and many ideas were simply shelved. It is a life of the mind, and the book will appeal to analysts, who wish to immerse themselves in a litany of major names in critical thinking and analysis. Individuals like Roberta and Albert Wohlstet-

ter, Herman Kahn, Alain Enthoven, Andrew Marshall, Paul Nitze, and much more. RAND refined the concept of operational analysis, a system of evaluating policy decisions scientifically. This evolved into systems analysis, and would help in analyzing the ways and means in which nuclear weapons would be deployed and its consequences. An important lesson to learn from an analytic perspective is the overreliance of quantitative and scientific analysis when attempting to assess the human psyche. This singular lesson is important as we confront the complexities of

fighting the “long war,” on terrorism, with fragments of theology, psychology, sense versus knowledge of history, schisms, spinning a fantasy narrative molded into ever changing militant ideologies. It would be the United States Air Force that would provide RAND, meaning simply Research and Development, its first major project, and from there RAND Project Air Force would be a mainstay of the organization. From thinking the unthinkable with nuclear weapons to the current reports on al-Qaida 2.0, its products make for important reading for analysts within the Defense Department. One RAND analyst Nathan Leites, wrote a book, The Operational Code of the Politburo, steeping himself in Marx, Lenin and the ideologies of the Soviets, he and Paul Nitze’s document NSC68 would form vital documents in what would be containment of the Soviet expansion. Albert Wohlstetter discussed many concepts, but among the most significant is quantifying a second-strike nuclear option as an added

Using alternatives Upcoming ShipShape Weight Program toresolveworkplace disputes Leigh Houck, WNY Branch Health Clinic

From Human Resources Office - Washington Disputes in the workplace can be caused by a multitude of factors that intersect to cause tension and anxiety. Coworkers and colleagues have distinct personalities and professional styles that they bring to the workplace. The uniqueness of our personalities and the ways that we approach our daily tasks can present professional challenges. Conflicts arise when individuals hold fast to their style or position without making an effort to understand the effects that they may have on coworkers or the workplace environment. Workplace disagreements between coworkers or management should be addressed in a timely manner. If a dispute is left unresolved, misunderstandings can escalate and lead to tension, which can cause a distraction in the work being performed. Disputes can leave an individual feeling aggrieved, thereby reducing workplace productivity. An individual employee may begin to feel resentment toward a professional disagreement and may take the differences personally. Workplace disputes can affect the morale of the whole office and require immediate consideration. They become distractions, which can affect other employees who notice the palpable tension among their peers. This may impact the overall morale and productivity of the workplace.To achieve harmony and understanding within the workplace, it is necessary to consider the best way to mutually resolve conflict. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an option available to employees to resolve workplace differences and to understand the interests, beliefs and ideas of another party. The Department of Navy (DON) defines ADR as follows: “Any procedure which is used in lieu of a formal process or litigation to resolve conflicts and issues in controversy, including but not limited to, partnering, conciliation, facilitation, mediation, ombudsmanship, fact finding, mini-trials, neutral evaluation and arbitration or any combination thereof.” The DON encourages the use of mediation for all of its activities and commands to resolve conflicts within working relationships. Mediation is a voluntary process, in which participants work together to reach an agreeable solution through open discussion. In mediation, there is a third party that acts as a neutral agent and guides the discussion. This individual has no decision-making authority but helps the parties to generate resolution options. If resolution is reached, then parties may have achieved a potential win/win situation. Mediation is used to resolve all types of conflict, including discrimination complaints, grievances and general workplace disputes. Key benefits of mediation are the reduced processing time, cost savings, the ability to resolve disputes by avoiding lengthy legal processes, and allowing participants to shape their resolution. Navy statistics indicate that the majority of individuals who participated in mediation in 2011 said,“The outcome was the best for my situation” and “mediation will improve working relationships in my workplace.” If you find yourself in the middle of a workplace dispute, please consider the mediation process as a means to quickly and efficiently resolve the dispute. For more information, please visit the Navy ADR website at www.adr.navy.mil.

Get out the VOTE! Lt. Michael Pyne (standing), Assistant Voting Assistance Officer for Naval District Washington, assists Ensigns Patrick Nacey (right) and Josh Sasser (left) of NAVFAC Washington with their online voter registration. Armed Forces Voters Week is taking place at the Washington Navy Yard from July 2 through July 6. A voter assistance booth will be at the building 22 food court throughout the week. Trained Voting Assistance Officers will be standing by to assist all eligible voters with voter registration.

SUICIDE Continued from 2 about everything I did and tried to let him see that there's positive stuff out there." California Highway Patrol and San Diego Police Officers arrived approximately 20 minutes after Lawrence's initial communication with the man and assumed suicide prevention efforts. FBI agents, California Highway Patrol and San Diego Police Officers successfully talked the man off the ledge and took him into custody shortly before 7 a.m. Before his morning was over, an FBI agent informed Lawrence the man wished to see him. "He was just standing there with a jacket on, looked at me and said, 'Thanks,'" Lawrence said. "I said, 'Hey, man, you made the right choice. I'm glad to see you're on this side of the ledge. Have a good day and be safe.'" Lawrence, a quiet and humble U.S. Navy Sailor, said he feels little difference since Tuesday morning, shrugging off any accolades given him. "I'd do it again today, if I had to," Lawrence said. "People are saying I'm a hero and thanking me, but I'd like to think if I didn't do it, somebody would have stopped and did it."

GOVERNOR Continued from 3 be able to continue with your career," said Jennifer Penny, wife of Senior Chief Sonar Technician Submarines (SS) Jeremy Penny, an RDC at RTC.

REVIEW Continued from 6 nuclear option as an added deterrence to an exchange with the Soviets. He also advocated the development of non-nuclear armaments and modern technology, which would give the United States options short of nuclear war. In the realm of terrorism, the book describes the classification of terrorism as the weapons of the weak, with the description of “Terrorism as Theater.” It mirrors much of the conventional wisdom that conviction and ideology is a center of gravity in the war on terrorism. Another important Wohlstetter is Roberta, whose book, “Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision,” published in 1962 is required reading for the serious analyst. It describes the myriad of indicators and warnings hidden beneath a massive cacophony of noise coupled with bureaucratic friction that led to the surprise of Pearl Harbor. Soldiers of Reason, in my view, opens poorly but recovers nicely in its descriptions of analytic theory that has shaped American national strategic thought. Editor’s Note: CDR Aboul-Enein is author of “Militant Islamist Ideology: Understanding the Global Threat,”published by Naval Institute Press. He teaches part time at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces and maintains a regular book column in the NDWWaterline.

REBUILD Continued from 6 By developing training that is modeled after North American medical residencies, a sustainable and quality educational system which is Afghan appropriate is a lasting legacy of their time in Afghanistan. “Our mission was to work ourselves out of a job and we have succeeded,” said O’Sullivan. “The Afghan doctors are ready to carry on. “
