NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

Suicide Awareness: Preventing a permanent solution to a temporary problem Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline Writer

It may be a cliché, but it is always darkest before the dawn. As a force that relies completely on the ability to be absolutely ready at all times, mental health and suicide awareness and prevention is extremely important and the Navy and its Sailors must be able to discuss the topic freely and openly. For those with issues of depression or other mental health concerns, it is important to remember that it truly does get better. According to Department of Defense reports, nearly one suicide occurs each day in the armed forces. A staggering statistic, it leads one to ask simply: why? According to Naval District Washington (NDW) Regional Chaplain, Captain Gary Clore, there is a multitude of pressures that service members face that the public cannot begin to comprehend. "There are a lot of reasons why suicide can be a problem in the military because of all the stresses of our lifestyle," said Clore. "The op-

erational tempo we maintain, the constant deployments, the demands of our duty… they all can contribute to the problem in someone who is vulnerable." Clore also mentioned the fiscal pressures on military members in today's economy and family matters coming into play, especially with one who is out on deployment. Being away from home can certainly exacerbate matters, as the service member is not home to help with their family's concerns. Sometimes these stresses can simply become too much, and without help, it can be a dangerous situation. It's clear that these stresses are not just going to go away, with the nature of being a combat force, so what can be done to stem the tide of suicidality? Just watching out for one's shipmates and being able to spot when someone is struggling can be the difference between life and death. Also, simply being able to talk about the issue is key. "What we're trying to do is reduce the stigma [around mental health issues], … just because someone is having stress in their life,

that's the nature of life," said Clore. "Mental health awareness is an opportunity to enhance people with help and understanding that can make a difference." Situational awareness is a virtue espoused by the military, and that includes being able to see when someone is in trouble. According to Clore, being "sensitive to what's going on in someone else's life and understanding who they are and what they may be dealing with" can work wonders and is what good shipmates do. Certainly not everyone can be trained to be a psychologist or a counselor, but everyone can be a friend. Besides one's shipmates, there is a multitude of resources available to Sailors who may need some help. Although it may seem obvious, if someone or someone they know is imminently considering harming themselves or others, they should contact emergency services immediately (on the Washington Navy Yard: 433-3333; off-installation dial 911). In the meantime, remember the ACT pneu-

Workforce shaping to provide structure for future Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer It is no secret that budget constraints are driving change throughout the Department of Defense. Change is coming for the Navy, and as budgets tighten and the need for efficiency becomes increasingly apparent, Naval DistrictWashington (NDW) is being proactive in its approach to reshaping the workforce to be leaner and more efficient. Workforce shaping is the term that is being used to describe the variety of changes that are going to be made in the layout of the civilian workforce for NDW. With changing times and an uncertain economic footing of late, government agencies, including the Department of the Navy, are being asked to reevaluate their needs to complete their missions and reshape their workforce accordingly.

"The number one driver of this initiative is to shape our organization to be as effective as we can possibly be," saidThomas McGuire, Regional Executive Director for NDW. "A secondary but very important consideration is that we have a number of lean years of funding coming up in the government, so we need to make sure that the resources we have get allocated to where they're most effective." The planned methods for reshaping NDW’s workforce revolve around strategies of becoming leaner through regular attrition; these methods include retirements, reassignments and resignations through Voluntary Early Retirement Authority (VERA) and offering of Voluntary Separation Incentive Payments (VSIP). According to McGuire, while the economic pressure being put on the government as of recent years is certainly an im-

Personnel assigned to the Washington Navy Yard trickle in to work. NDW is taking proactive measures to manage its workforce ensuring it is the right size with the right positions and correct skill sets. The future workforce will be leaner and much more efficient than it is today.

NSAW DEFY program completes a second successful summer By MC2 Kiona Miller, Naval District Washington Public Affairs

U.S. Navy photo by MC2 Kiona Miller

Master-at-Arms Seaman Shamar Copes, a certified handler, assigned to the Naval District Washington's (NDW) Military Working Dog (MWD) Program, introduces military working dog "UU2" to Drug and Education For Youth (DEFY) campers at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, July 26.

Naval Support Activity Washington (NSAW) held the Drug Education for Youth (DEFY) eight day non-residential camp for children of active duty and Department of Defense (DoD) employees at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, July 23 through Aug. 1. Uniformed service members and DoD employees volunteered to work with youth between the ages of 9-12 years old to promote drug education, leadership and character development, positive role model mentoring, and community outreach. The DEFY program uses a specific curriculum that focuses on substance abuse, gang involvement, and crime to deter youth from negative risk factors and strengthen positive life skills. "We have about 18 counselors this year. Last year we only had about eight counselors, so I had a lot of support from the fence lines that came out," said Electrician's Mate 2nd Class Jason Simmons, assigned to NSAW. "Even today I have Marines and Air Force; they all want to join into the program." This is the second consecutive year that DEFY has been

held at the installation and numbers have grown in youth participants. Throughout the week more than 30 students toured several museums including the Display Ship Barry and the Naval Museum at the Washington Navy Yard, as well as the Aerospace Museum in Washington, D.C. "Last year was our first year putting together the program and we had about 14 kids. This year we had a little more advertisement and we actually got up to 33 kids, so we doubled the output of last year's," said Simmons. "It feels good to do this for a second year especially since it's hard to get funding for certain programs. I'm glad the Navy stuck with funding DEFY because it is a very important program." According to Simmons, the function that the children enjoyed the most was when the youth were able to see firsthand what military service members did on a daily basis. During the week Naval District Washington's (NDW) Military Working Dog (MWD) handlers and the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard were among the few who performed and spoke to the youth on details about their job. "The first person they were able to meet was Cmdr. David Varner who was a former Blue Angel's pilot. They were really

Around The Yard What can someone do to help prevent suicide?

"Make an effort to include and get to know your fellow Sailors, especially new check-ins. Comraderie is the number one thing that can be used to prevent suicide." HMSN Edwin McCulley, WNY Branch Health Clinic

"Don't be afraid, if someone makes an ideation, follow the Navy's guidance. The Navy is making a strong effort to get the word out on proper procedures. If you don't know what the proper procedure is, find out." YN1 Cameron Kay, Naval History and Heritage Command

"Sailors should understand and know their shipmates. Knowing someone helps you identify early what the signals for suicide are, and the best help for someone in trouble is someone who knows them, and can get ahead of it." Capt. Ken Branch, C.O. Naval Facilities Engineering Command Washington

Pacific Partnership 2012 Navy Conducts First Flight of Kicks Off Cambodia Visit X-47B Unmanned Aircraft By MC2 Kristopher Regan, Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Pacific Partnership 2012 (PP12) held an opening ceremony, July 29, to kick off a twoweek mission across four provinces including Sihanoukville, Koh Kong, Kampot, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Pacific Partnership is making its second trip to Cambodia, having last visited in 2010. The 2012 multinational and multi-organization military and civilian crew of more than 1,100 people is here for a two-week visit, the fourth and final mission port for the four-anda-half month deployment. Rear Adm. Russell Penniman, reserve deputy commander and chief of staff for U.S. Pacific Fleet attended the ceremony and gave opening remarks. During the ceremony he said, "I admire and applaud the work that has gone into the combined planning process, which began almost a year ago." "I believe Cambodia, along with Pacific Partnership, has shaped a great mission. One that will meet your objectives and that will benefit the people of Sihanoukville, Kampot, Koh Kong and Phnom Penh." The audience of combined Cambodian, U.S. and partner nation militaries, and nongovernment organization (NGO) representatives also heard from high-ranking military and government officials including Vice Admiral Tea Vinh, of the Kingdom of Cambodia Ministry of Defense; and, Jeff Daigle, Charge d' Affaires, a.i. for the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh.

In addition to remarks, M'lopTapang Center for Street Children performed two traditional Cambodian dances to give blessings and entertain the crowd. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Ryan Crosson was one of the 50 participants in attendance for the event. "The local dance from kids was great. It gave a feel for the local scene and their traditions," said Crosson. While in Cambodia, PP12 will take part in a series of medical, surgical, engineering and veterinarian civic action programs in addition to various subject matter expert exchanges across the four provinces. For 2012, the mission in Cambodia brings together eight partner nations, 12 non-government organizations, and the enormous capabilities of the hospital ship USNS Mercy as it partners with the local department of health and military on medical and dental, veterinary, and civil engineering civic action projects. Now in its seventh year, Pacific Partnership is an annual Pacific Fleet humanitarian and civic assistance mission U.S. military, host and partner nations, non-governmental organizations and international agencies designed to build stronger relationships and disaster response capabilities in the Asia Pacific region.

Former CNO Admiral James Watkins Passes Away From Defense Media Activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Navy

U.S. Navy photo by Javier B. Chagoya

Former Chief of Naval Operations, retired Adm. James D. Watkins, and his wife, Janet, unveils a bronze plaque bearing his name as he was honored with a dedication of the Mechanical Engineering building at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif.

Retired Navy Admiral James D. Watkins, the 22nd Chief of Naval Operations, passed away July 26. He was 85. "Few have lived as full or accomplished a life as Adm. Watkins," said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. "Although we mourn his passing, we celebrate his accomplishments not only as a consummate Naval Officer and public servant, but also as a man who understood the importance of taking care of the entire Navy family." A 1949 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Watkins became CNO June 30, 1982 and served until June 30, 1986 during the height of the Cold War. A career submariner, he also commanded the U.S. Sixth Fleet and later the U.S. Pacific Fleet. He also served as Chief of Naval Personnel and Vice Chief of Naval Operations. "Adm. Watkins served the nation, leading Sailors during some of our nation's most try-

ing and challenging times from 1949 to 1986," said Chief of Naval Operations Jonathon Greenert. "His strategic approach to safeguarding our national security and interests at sea set a precedent for generations to come. Adm. Watkins was an innovative thinker who pushed our Navy forward. He was known for developing a Maritime Strategy for dealing with the U.S.S.R. and improving the quality of life for Sailors and their families. We will always remember the life and honorable service of a great shipmate." As CNO, Watkins led a Navy that operated in support of national objectives in Grenada, Lebanon, and the Persian Gulf. Appreciating that changes were occurring in the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, he initiated a review of American naval strategy. He precipitated a renaissance in naval operational thought that encouraged a new generation of officers to become more deeply involved. After retiring from the Navy he led a very

As part of an ongoing initiative to provide jobs for wounded warriors, transitioning service members, veterans and their spouses, Naval DistrictWashington (NDW) Family Support Programs will host a second hiring event Saturday, Aug. 25 at Naval Support Activity Bethesda (NSAB). The initiative - "100,000 Jobs Mission" - was launched in March 2011 by a number of leading companies, with a goal of hiring 100,000 transitioning service members and veterans by 2020. Through their efforts, thus far, they have hired more than 12,000 veterans. At the event, attendees will have an opportunity to meet with several potential employers. "Our nation's military and veterans represent the best this country has to offer.We owe our nation's veterans more than gratitude - we owe them the opportunity to lead successful lives following their service," the initiative's website states. Additionally, "We believe hiring veterans is not only the right thing to do for veterans, but it's a great thing to do for our businesses. Our nation's military and veterans represent the best this country has to offer and they bring meaningful skills to the workplace." The hiring event will take place in the gymnasium (Building 17) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Attendees must show proof of military service, i.e. military ID card, veteran ID card issued by theVA, or DD-214 along with a photo ID, to enter the base.

The park will be open from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. with a special performance by legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available at all Navy Information,Tickets, andTours (ITT) offices throughout NDW and select locations within the National Capital Region for $18. The first 5,000 eligible customers to purchase tickets will gain admission to the performance by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This unique special event will offer these military and DoD civilian personnel a wonderful opportunity for exclusive use of the Six Flags of America theme park and admittance to see one of the all time legendary bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd, perform that evening. Without question, this is a great opportunity for MWR to show appreciation for those who put their lives at stake for the personal freedom we all enjoy. MWR is offering this program, which has a value of over $150 per ticket, for only $18 per ticket including free parking. This very affordable opportunity will hopefully provide the means for up to 25,000 DoD personnel to participate in a day of appreciation for our Defenders of Freedom. Please call 202-404-6576 for more information.

FUTURE Continued from 1 petus for NDW's workforce shaping, there had already been ideas coming about on how NDW could reformulate its work processes into ones that were more cost effective and efficient. The progression of these ideas and the change they represent are the most integral component of achieving the most efficient "Quarterdeck of the Navy" possible, and the program is not just simply "cutting costs." However, when the issue of finances comes up in discussion, people naturally get worried. Change is difficult, no matter the benefits achieved from it, and civilian employees may have their own sense of apprehension towards workforce shaping. According to McGuire, however, the number one priority is protecting the workforce as the

region undergoesthistransition. Reductionin Force(RIF)isconsideredanabsolutelastresort. "My number one priority is protecting the current workforce that we have," said McGuire. "We are going to do everything possible to get to the workforce size and shape we need through voluntary measures while preserving the jobs of the people that are here." The first steps for workforce shaping are underway now, with the opportunities for internal transfers and reassignments where eligible going on today. VSIP/VERA offers are expected to be made in August, with separations effective September through December. The benefits of workforce shaping can be seen now, even before any measures have taken place. With the proper workforce applied in the correct density and shape, NDW will be ready to face the challenge of providing base operating support and better services at a lower cost to adapt to these challenging economic times.

In an effort to keep you informed of military discipline and administrative matters that have occurred in Naval DistrictWashington,theWaterline will periodically publish CourtMartial and Administrative Separation results. Court Martial U.S. v. CS2, USN In a General Court-Martial, CS2 pled guilty to violating article 134 (indecent language to a minor) and was sentenced by the Military Judge to reduction in rate to E-1, confinement for 711 days, an $11,000 fine, and a Dishonorable Discharge. Administrative Processing A Commander was taken to a Board of Inquiry after having been found guilty at NJP for wrongful use of a government computer by viewing pornography. The Board voted to retain the officer.

World’s toughest Microbe helps scientists By Helen Hocknell, NSAB Public Affairs staff writer Scientists at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) have discovered a new way to render a microbe non-infectious while preserving its immune system-boosting properties after exposure to gamma radiation. The discovery could have profound implications for the development of vaccines for deadly diseases like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), explained USU Pathology Professor Dr. Michael Daly, whose research team led the study. Daly has devoted more than 20 years to studying Deinococcus radiodurans, a microorganism the Guinness Book of World Records dubbed “the world's toughest bacterium.” Nicknamed “Conan the Bacterium,” it is known for its ability to withstand several thousand times the radiation levels that would kill a human being, and can be found nearly anywhere from your kitchen counter to the middle of a desert. Deinococcus survives these extreme environments by accumulating high concentrations of manganese a metal element similar to iron and peptides, which protect its proteins from destruction when exposed to high levels of radiation or extremely dry conditions. “I had been thinking there must be something very, very important we can do with this, and it just came to me, suddenly as a flash: vaccine development might be the way to go,” said Daly. Vaccines are usually made up of 'bits and pieces' (epitopes) of disease-causing viruses or bacteria, he explained. When injected into a human or animal, these provoke an immune response that includes the production of antibodies, which can defend against future infection. “However,” Daly explained,“the 'bits and pieces' sometimes aren't enough, and vaccines against many deadly diseases haven't worked.” He added that live vaccines using a weakened version of an intact virus or bacterium are most effective, but not an option

when it comes to an otherwise untreatable disease like HIV because they carry an unacceptable risk of infection. Radiation renders a virus or bacterium non-infectious by destroying the organism's genetic material, but can also damage its protein structures, which the immune system needs to recognize for a vaccine to be effective. Daly's team was able to get around this problem by isolating the manganese complex from Deinococcus and using it to protect a different bacterium's proteins from destruction by radiation. “The simplicity of it is what's so amazing,” said Daly. “With radiation, their genomes are destroyed, sterilized. But all the proteins and all the structures on their surfaces remain, so you then can take these lethally-radiated pathogens and use them in making vaccines. The immune system then thinks it's encountering the real bugs, which are now just lifeless shells, and mounts a full protective response.” USU researchers, led by Daly, teamed up with scientists from the National Institutes of Health to test a vaccine for drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in mice. It worked. The breakthrough study was published in the July edition of the scientific journal, “Cell Host and Microbe.” Daly said it could take years to get approval for human trials, but he's optimistic this discovery will be a big help in fighting deadly diseases like HIV and influenza. “This could speed up the whole process of producing vaccines instead of biochemists spending years trying to clone one aspect of a microbe's protein structure, it could take only a matter of weeks to radiate all the different strains of a disease and create one vaccine to protect against all of them.” “We've shown this approach can work on Staphylococcus, which kills about 18,000 people per year,” said Daly. “Now it's only a matter of time before we can apply it to other bugs.” For more information about USU research, please visit: www.usuhs.mil.

Grant’s Final Victory: Book review Ulysses S.Grant’s Heroic LastYear ReviewedbyCDRYoussef Aboul-Enein,USN Grant’s FinalVictory:Ulysses S. Grant’s Heroic Last Year by Charles Bracelen Flood. Published by DaCapo Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 288 pages,2011. Charles Bracelen Flood has written a dozen books, including the bestselling, “Lee: The Last Years,” and “Grant and Sherman.” Salon.com has named “Grant and Sherman,” amongthetoptwelveCivilWar books ever written. In October 2011, Flood will publish a uniqueaspectofthebiography of General Ulysses S. Grant, that of his final years. The tanner, store-keeper, and impoverished farmer would rise to command all Union armies and accept General Robert E. Lee’s surrender in Appomattox Court House in 1864. He would be elected president twice and would suffer scandals as well as using the power of the presidency to heal the nation. Grant’s final years would begin in 1884 when he would lose all his wealth in what we would today call a Ponzi scheme. The

book details Grant trusting two financial swindlers who would serve time in prison for cheating investors of millions of dollars. Flood writes that the amount that the public was cheated of $16 million, enough at the time to build for heavy warships. Grant’s partners Ferdinand Ward and James Fish, left the Union Commander in Chief and former President not only impoverished, but had tarnished Grant’s name. Ward and Fish would use Grant’s name to extract more money from investors. Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant

would spend the year selling property, and living frugally to pay off the debt. What is touching are the Americans that came to Grant’s aid, fromWilliamVanderbilt, who took the unprecedented step of getting his lawyers to shield Grant from creditors including himself, Grant owed Vanderbilt $150,000. The book also highlights soldiers under Grant’s command, one of whom sent $500 to help his former commander and even a gift of money from a confederate, for Grant’s generosity to the south. Mark Twain would advance Grant thousands of dollars and the book details how Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) would coax Grant to write his memoirs. Chapters discuss Grant’s race for time to finish his two volumes, “Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant,” a classic of not only military history, but of American literature. Grant’s race for time would be against throat cancer that left him in severe pain. Soldiers came by to salute

Ben Rabitor, an Afghan Hand serving with International Joint Command Reintegration in RC-E Kapisa, Parwan and Panjshir, practices his Dari while haggling with an Afghan vendor in September 2011. Editor's Note: This is part one of a five-part series of an article by Sgt. 1st Class Mark Porter entitled 'Afghan Hands helping to reshape Afghanistan”. It helps to better describe the AFPAK Hands program and its impact on the region. More than 10 years into Operation Enduring Freedom, literally hundreds of coalition military organizations are serving in Afghanistan. In the eyes of many leaders, none is more important or pivotal to success in the region than the Afghanistan-Pakistan Hands Program. Born in 2009, AfPak Hands (and Afghan Hands, the part of the organization working here) was conceived by then-chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, as a top-priority program he argued would “change the paradigm” of how the U.S. employed its forces in Afghanistan. He envisioned an organization of“experts who speak the local language, are culturally attuned, and are focused on the problem for an extended period of time.” By the end of that year, the first group of “Hands” began their language and cultural training. Composed of more than 500 civilians, officers and enlisted service members from all four services, Afghan Hands personnel fill 229 in-country billets. Each "Hand" moves through a series of training, deployment, and redeployment phases over a 36- to 45-month tour with the program. “It provides continuity and a depth of understanding about how this country works that is not typically developed by service members who come here for six months or one year at a time,” said Army Lt. Col. MarkViney, former deputy director for the Afghan Hands Management Element-Forward. “Because Afghan Hands typically will spend 44 months involved in this region, they’re able to develop relationships with Afghan leaders at all levels, with the Afghan people, and with [International Security Assistance Forces].” Afghan Hands work in a variety of areas, from fighting corruption, to working as a liaison between Afghan organizations and coalition and international groups that can assist them. Their work may include anything from military advising to organizing sporting events.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Team visits Washington D.C. Story by SAPR Task Force Public Affairs A Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Master Mobile Training Team (MMTT) has been deployed to Washington D.C. for command leadership training from Jul. 16 through Aug. 8 Part of the Navy's aggressive efforts to prevent sexual assaults and promote essential culture changes within the force, the SAPR MMTTs deployed around the globe starting July 13, providing SAPR leadership training (SAPR-L) to command leadership triads (commanding officer/officer in charge, executive officer/assistant officer in charge, and command master chief/chief of the boat/senior enlisted advisor) in fleet concentration areas and locations with significant Navy presence. The command triads will then deliver the SAPR-L training to their command leadership, E-7 and above. “The MMTTs have a great journey ahead of them as they train our command leaders and give them some of the tools critical to reducing sexual assault and promoting a culture of respect and professionalism in the force,” said CAPT Scott Seeberger, Chief of Staff for the SAPR Task Force. “SAPR-L is the first phase of this training and uses a top-down leadership approach.” Over 650 SAPR-L training sessions are scheduled in the next month, providing training for regular and reserve com-

SUICIDE Continued from 1 monic: Ask… someone if they are considering suicide, remind them that someone Cares… and get Treatment… as soon as possible. Alternatively, active duty, reservists and veterans have a dedicated hotline, theVeterans/Military Crisis Line (MCL), which can be reached by dialing 1-800-273-8255 and pressing option one. There is also a webchat option and text messaging services (send a text to 838255) via the MCL's website at http://www.veteranscrisisline .net. All of these services are confidential. In less urgent situations, there are other resources for those who need help. As noted, a Sailor's command chaplain can provide confidential counseling services, even for those who are not religious.

mands. The few commands that are deployed and unable to host a MMTT can receive the training via Defense Connect Online. SAPR-L training must be completed for all E-7 and above by Sept. 30 and SAPRL training completion will be documented by individual commands via the Fleet Training Management Planning System (FLTMPS). CAPT James Fowler (OPNAV, N81) is the senior member of the Washington D. C. team which includes CAPT Kathryn Serbin, CDR Art Blum and CMDCM Ron Naida, presenting the SAPR-L sessions. “My team has an aggressive schedule for theWashington D. C. area including the Pentagon, NavyYard, Fort Meyer and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, said CAPT Fowler. “This is time well-spent; we are all looking forward to delivering the CNO’s message on sexual assault prevention.” Sexual assault prevention is an important element of the readiness area of the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, which consolidates a set of objectives and policies, new and existing, to maximize Sailor and Marine personal readiness, build resiliency and hone the most combat-effective force in the history of the department of the Navy (DON) Additional information on the MMTT and SAPR-L training efforts can be found at the SAPR L/F training Web pages, including command registration for SAPR-L training: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/sapr/Pages/ training.aspx.

DEFY Continued from 2 excited because most of them have seen an air show before but have not met those who actually flew the planes," said Simmons. "They also got to see the military dogs and I think it's good that they get to see the Navy in a good light and Navy personnel doing good things." The summer camp is phase one of a two part program. Phase II takes place during the school year where volunteer mentors reinforce training received during the summer program and provide positive support through group mentoring sessions and interactive workshops. "One Saturday a month we will get the

kids back together and see how they are doing in school," said Simmons. "We will see if they have encountered any problems and we will talk about some of those things." The DEFY program began as a special initiative of the Secretary of the Navy in 1992 after the Secretary of the Navy's Drug Demand Reduction Task Force (DDRTF) was established. The first two programs were conducted in 1993 using a science-base curriculum to approach the issue of fleet readiness and the need to improve the levels of support to deployed Sailors and Marines and their families.

One of the testing facilities at Pax River is a simulated aircraft carrier environment, which will allow team members to ensure the aircraft is ready to operate in testing at sea. Land-based testing will establish X-47B has the ability to conduct precision approaches and to perform arrested landings and catapult launches prior to actual aircraft carrier operations. "The X-47B's flight today is another important step closer to the Navy's vision of operating tailless, autonomous, unmanned systems from aircraft carriers," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, Navy UCAS program manager.

Emergency services learn second language By Doug Miller, Tester Staff Writer It's not unusual for fire and emergency medical services personnel to get training in a second language, because knowing even a few foreign words and phrasescanhelpalotwhenthey'retrying to help people through a crisis. "You often see people get training in generic Spanish, maybe Korean if you're on the West Coast," said Fire Chief Chris Connelly, Naval District Washington/NAS Patuxent River District Fire Chief. Here at Pax River, 40 emergency servicespersonnelreceivedsecondlanguage training in American Sign Language, a class led by the Interpreting Services Office, a component of Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division Equal Employ-

ment Opportunity. The Interpreting Services Office's LoraCheah,Lisette Madalena, Kara Russell and Candace Strayer provided the one-hour instruction to each firehouse shift July 16 and 17. While the class taught the emergency personnel a few basic signs for words such as "help," "hurt" and "medicine," Cheah said, the trainees also asked the trainers to teach them words they use often at emergency scenes, such as "allergic." However, the focus wasn't to turn emergencypersonnelintosign-language interpreters, Cheah said. Rather, the sessions emphasized recognizing when someone encountered in an emergency situation is deaf or hard of hearing,andwhatthemostefficientpossiblemeansofcommunicationwouldbe. Cheah said that often means simply

having paper and pen handy. The firefighters learned that while some people with hearing loss might speak to them, it doesn't necessarily mean those people understand what the emergency responders are saying in return. It's important not to turn away while you're speaking to him or her because he or she may be reading lips, Cheah added. AccordingtoCheah,NAVAIRcurrently employs 21 deaf or hard-of-hearing people, but that number fluctuates. She said there may be more employed as contractors on base and there are deaf family members. While the odds that firefighters could encounter one of them during the performanceoftheirdutiesisslim, Connelly said, "we have to be prepared. It adds to our tool box."

WATKINS Continued from 4 active life. In 1987 he chaired President Reagan's Commission on the HIV Epidemic. Known as "The Watkins Commission," it investigated the AIDS epidemic and eventually recommended support for increased AIDS research, laws protecting HIV-positive people, and treatment of drug addiction. On March 9, 1989, Watkins was sworn in as Secretary of Energy by President George Bush. As Energy Secretary, he developed a ten-point plan to strengthen environmental protection and waste management activities at the Department of Energy, established the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, and, recognizing American dependence on foreign oil, instituted policy designed to increase oil production and decrease consumption to counter Iraqi-Kuwaiti oil losses caused by the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait. He remained in his position as Energy Secretary until 1993. The U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy became the second presidential commission chaired by Watkins. Established by The Oceans Act of 2000 on Jan. 20, 2001, the commission was charged with developing a comprehensive national ocean policy including governance, research, education, marine operations, stewardship, and investment. It conducted hearings and research before producing its final report, "An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century" on Sept. 20, 2004. Watkins is survived by his wife Janet and his six children.

REVIEW Continued from 6 Grant, and he would look up from his papers to wave from his porch. Twain would offer unprecedented terms for Grant’s memoirs and he would not live to see it in pubic circulation, dying in 1885, he was 63. His royalties from the Personal Memoirs left his wife Julia Dent Grant a wealthy woman. Flood’s book is an excellent read about a little explored aspect of General Grant, and is recommended to those with a passion for American history and specifically the CivilWar.We seem to admire Grant because he like many Americans have succeeded and failed, each time re-inventing himself, he would experience setbacks and triumphs of which many can identify with. Editor’s Note: Commander Aboul-Enein is Adjunct Islamic Studies Chair at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. He is author of “Militant Islamist Ideology: Understanding the Global Threat,” (Naval Institute Press). Commander Aboul-Enein enjoys reading American history and engaging in discussions on the topic with his spouse.

AFPAK Continued from 6 Typically, a "Hand" will deploy twice to the region for tours of 10 or 12 months, ideally to the same position. Between deployments, “Hands” serve in out-of-theater Department of Defense and interagency billets – in positions where they maintain a focus on Afghanistan. Viney said that the idea behind sending "Hands" back to the same area is to sustain and leverage the relationships they develop in the region. Afghan Hands work closely and regularly with Afghan citizens – forging relationships that can lead to positive change. “What’s important about these relationships is that they put people in touch with others to make good things happen,” he said. “They empower Afghans to assume greater responsibility for the future of their country. Their relationships demonstrate ISAF’s enduring commitment to the stability of Afghanistan.”
