NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

Don't cross the line By Aaron J. Heiner, NDW Public Affairs

Co-workers often engage in casual conversations; however, there could be times where a normal conversation becomes uncomfortable. In those cases when casual conversation crosses the line from polite interactions to something inappropriate, there are certain procedures that need to be followed. "Casual conversations are a normal part of the working environment, but when it becomes inappropriate and affects the work environment, it needs to stop," said Chandra Vickers, Deputy Equal Employment Officer (EEO) for Naval District Washington (NDW). Vickers says that when conversations or interaction cross the line into sexual harassment there are procedures to be followed. "Employees who are being sexually harassed should inform their immediate supervisor of the situation. If they are being harassed by a supervisor, they should tell their manager immediately." According to the EEO office, on average, the federal government spends $6.7 million per year in sexual harassment related costs including legal costs, absenteeism, decreased productivity and high turnover.

"People need to be aware that inappropriate behavior can not only affect a person's ability to work, but it can also impact a department's ability to function overall,"Vickers said. The term sexual harassment encompasses many different forms of harassment including: sexual favoritism, sex-based harassment, and third party harassment where a person not involved in the situation may take offense, Vickers stated. "A lot of people believe sexual harassment is sexual in nature only. Sexual harassment can involve harassing individuals who are simply of the opposite gender, or may share a different gender identity," she added. "Regardless of the type of harassment, everyone is entitled to an environment free of sexual harassment in the workplace." If there is a incident involving sexual harassment, there are several steps that should be taken to resolve the issue. The first is to speak directly to the harasser and let that person know the attention is unwanted. If the harassment persists, the problem should be reU.S. Navy photo by Aaron J.

Martin Luther King Jr. event reminds us to 'live the dream' By Emily A. Funderburk Communications Coordinator Total Force Strategy & Management Department Keynote speaker Cmdr. David R. Brown challenged approximately 80 attendees at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. service of remembrance to "live the dream." Surrounded by posters listing some of King's famous quotations, Brown, the assistant deputy chaplain of the Marine Corps, told listeners they are living King's dream today. The annual event was held at St. Nicholas Chapel at NAS Patuxent River Jan. 11. "Dreams often come when the mind and heart are restless," he said, noting that King voiced his dream at a time when America was "living in a nightmare." Today, despite continued struggles with crime, drug abuse and rising college costs, there are fewer instances of intolerance and prejudice, he said. "His [King's] faith and courage continue to inspire us," said NAVAIR Comptroller Jerry Short in his welcoming remarks. Brown listed three tenets to help live the dream. The first is to "have an attitude of gratitude," listen-

ing to and learning from the personal stories of the previous generation and never forgetting those roots that have borne the "sweet fruits of freedom" today. The second is to "exploit every opportunity to excel and bring others with us." Americans are master opportunists, Brown said, who manage to rise up and overcome in even the worst circumstances. He cited 1968, a year marred by the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, the assassinations of King and Robert F. Kennedy, and rioting at the Democratic National Convention - a year that ended with the entire world watching as the first American astronauts orbited the moon. "Everything doesn't have to be perfect for you to be a success," he said. Finally, Brown encouraged attendees to "honor the dreamer and the dream" by finding a focus to their lives to, ultimately, fulfill their own dreams and goals. The event, hosted by the NAS Patuxent River Chaplain's Office, in conjunction with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Equal Employment Opportunity Office, also featured performances by Esperanza Middle School's Festival Chorus.

Navy Solar Farm Construction Underway By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Joshua Cassatt, Public Affairs Center San Diego The Navy made another leap into renewable energy integration Jan. 18 with groundbreaking on a new 118 acre solar farm in China Lake, Calif. Construction of a SunPower Corporation 13.78 megawatt solar photovoltaic power system officially got underway at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake following a mid-morning ceremony at the sprawling weapons development base. "This is the largest solar project in the Navy," said Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installation and Environment Jackalyne Pfannenstiel. "It demonstrates tangible progress toward national energy independence and reaching the Department of the Navy's energy goals." SunPower's Oasis Power Plant product, a fully-integrated, modular solar block consisting of 31,680 solar panels, is expected to generate more than 30 percent of NAWS China Lake's annual energy load. "The weapons division here is the consumer, and with that consumption requirement comes responsibility," said Rear Adm. Mat Winter, commander, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division. "This project gives us the opportunity as the major consumer of the energy to look into our own processes and practices," Winter said. "As we are more efficient in executing and continuing to do our mission it frees up resources for us to provide to our war fighter." The solar farm integration, which is made possible through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA), will allow the Navy to buy electricity below the retail utility rate and reduce costs by an estimated $13 million over the next 20 years. The PPA involves no initial out-of-pocket expenses for the Navy and will provide increased energy independence and reliable, emission-free solar power to NAWS China Lake beginning at the end of this year. "The Navy has a longstanding record of identifying energy and water conservation opportunities across our facilities," said Rear Adm. Dixon Smith, commander, Navy Region Southwest. "We are continuing to transform our culture from one of consumption to one focused on conservation." NAWS China Lake's solar farm is representative of the Navy's energy initiative, laid out by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus in 2009, which aspires to achieve 50 percent of the Navy's shore-based energy requirements produced by alternative sources by the year 2020. "We face a global energy challenge, which is for us a national strategic imperative that we solve," said Capt. Clifford Maurer, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest command-

"There was an extraordinary level of effort that went into market research, industry partnering, preparing complicated acquisition documentation, navigating complicated regulations and incentives, and doing technical analysis." Under the 20-year federal solar PPA, SunPower will build, operate and maintain the solar power system that uses the company's high-efficiency solar panels, and which it guarantees through a 25-year warranty. SunPower has worked with federal agencies since 1999 and has installed more than 25 megawatts of solar power systems at government facilities, including solar power plants at Navy installations in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Coronado, Calif. "We are so honored to be here today," said HowardWenger, president of SunPower. "It really is a testament to the commitment and leadership of many people in the Navy, and the base here in China Lake, that we are here today celebrating this very significant groundbreaking." NAWS China Lake is located in the Western Mojave Desert region of California.The installation is the Navy's largest single landholding, representing 85 percent of the Navy's land for research, development, acquisition, testing and evaluation of weapons systems.The two ranges and main site of NAWS China Lake cover more than 1.1 million acres, an area larger than the state of Rhode Island.

When service members leave active duty, TRICARE offers a transitional health care option for eligible beneficiaries and their families while they look for new health coverage, officials reminded Sailors. The Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP) is designed to extendTRICARE eligibility for sponsors and their family who involuntarily separate from the military prior to retirement. When separating from active duty, the sponsor and family loseTRICARE eligibility. However, TAMP permits individuals in certain beneficiary categories to retain their TRICARE coverage at no cost. For more information about TAMP and enrollment options, visit www.tricare.mil/tamp.

The beneficiary categories include:

* Sponsors involuntarily separated under honorable conditions * National Guard or Reserve members separated from the military, following an active duty period of more than 30 consecutive days in support of a contingency operation * Sponsors separated from the military, but involuntarily retained for reserve duty * A sponsor who separates from active duty, following a voluntary agreement to stay on active duty status for a period of less than one year * A sponsor who receives a sole survivorship discharge * A sponsor who is separated from active duty who agrees to become a member of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve of a Reserve component

A sponsor is not eligible for TAMP while on terminal leave, permissive temporary duty or authorized excess leave. To ensure continuity of coverage during the TAMP period, it is essential the sponsor and their eligible family members' information in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) is current. Visit www.tricare.mil/deers to update information. If a sponsor qualifies, the 180-day TAMP period begins the day after the date of separation from active duty. Under TAMP the sponsor and family members are automatically

AWARDS Continued from 1 USS Bainbridge (CGN 25) Award and Personal Excellence Partnership Award for their outreach efforts in community relations projects. Naval Support Activity (NSA) Washington, on the other hand, received honorable mentions forHealth,Safety,andFitness,andPersonalExcellence Partnership awards under the medium shore category. The Environmental Stewardship Flagship Award was presented to NAS Patuxent River for their work in assisting with the cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay. Working with the Boy and Girl Scouts of America on Chesapeake Bay restoration work, NAS Patuxent River volunteers were able to educate the younger generation on the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and its tributaries. "Environmental Stewardship Flagship has always been NAS Patuxent River's strongest areas. It has always been extraordinarily hard to beat NAS Patuxent River in this award," said Olivia Hunter, regional community service program manager for NDW. NAS Patuxent River also received the Project Good Neighbor Flagship Award for work volunteers spent in the community. NAS Patuxent River has a long history of community service participating in programs such as

Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Habitat for Humanity. "NAS Patuxent River is really involved in the community.The work NAS Patuxent River had done with Habitat for Humanity really made the installation stand out," said Hunter. "These projects really make a direct impact on area neighborhoods. The results are tangible, and can be seen by the local community." NSA Washington received an honorable mention for the Health, Safety and Fitness Flagship Award for the work performed by assisting those with disabilities in the community to enjoy activities that otherwise may be too challenging. As a result of volunteer work performed in the past year on three projects at Washington D.C. area school, NSA Washington was also recognized as an honorable mention for the Personal Excellence Partnership Award. "NSA Washington performed very well this year. The work performed by those volunteers during last summer's Special Olympics was incredible," said Hunter. "What made this event stand out was command was directly involved in activities. Cmdr. Varner actively took part in working with the community."

Program pays dividends in Afghanistan, Pakistan By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service Editor's Note: This is part one of a three part series. Just over two years since its inception, the Afghanistan-Pakistan Hands program is delivering the capability it was designed to provide and is a model for future U.S. engagement around the world, the program’s director reported. The“AFPAK Hands” program stood up in September 2009 to develop a cadre of military and senior civilian experts specializing in the complexities of Afghanistan and Pakistan – the language, culture, processes and challenges. The goal, explained Army Lt. Col. Frederick “Fritz” Gottschalk, the AFPAK Hands division chief on the Joint Staff, was for these “hands” to be able to develop close working relationships with their Afghan and Pakistani counterparts and determine how their countries operate. With about 180 of the first cohort of hands returned from their 12-month deployments and about 200 members of the second cohort now on the ground, Gottschalk said, the program is living up to its promise. Working closely with Afghan and Pakistani military and civilian officials, the hands are making inroads in areas outside the security domain that typical military elements often can’t, he said.They’re able to identify roadblocks to progress, become catalysts in breaking those logjams and serve as conduits between Afghan and Pakistani government officials, local populations and military leaders on the ground and their higher headquarters. Even in Pakistan, where tensions have increased since a deadly late-November border incident, the AFPAK Hands program remains viable, despite being scaled down, Gottschalk said. Twenty-eight AFPAK Hands members served primarily with the Office of Defense Representative in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad during the program’s first cohort, but at Pakistan’s request, the element has been reduced by about half. Unlike in the past, where knowledge acquired in Afghanistan and Pakistan was scattered throughout the force after redeployment, AFPAK Hands participants return home to apply their experience and insights in key staff positions at the Pentagon, U.S. Central Command, U.S. Special Operations Command and other headquarters. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recognized the need for this knowledge base when he joined Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, then the top military commander in Afghanistan, and Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, then commander of U.S. Central Command, in advocating the program in 2009. At the time, Mullen had scrubbed the entire Joint Staff and was able to come up with only a few members with experience in Afghanistan or Pakistan, Gottschalk said. “That’s a big part of why the AFPAK program was developed: to get that expertise from the theater into key billets.” The Afghanistan/Pakistan (AFPAK) Hands program was created to identify, select, train, and manage a cohort of experts from all branches of the US military in order to bring greater unity and cohesion to the fight in Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen directed the Services to develop the program based on counterinsurgency training instituted by General Stanley McChrystal for US military personnel stationed in the region.

Victory in War: Foundations of Modern Strategy Book review Reviewed by Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein Victory in War: Foundations of Modern Strategy, Revised and Expanded by William C. Martel. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2007, revised and updated edition published in 2011. An Associate Professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, William Martel allows readers to rediscover the classic thinkersofstrategy,andthevariousmeanings of the complex term“victory.” As the United States ends nine years of combat operations in Iraq, this book is timely. Martel taught National Security Affairs at the NavalWar College and has also served as an analyst for the world renowned think-tank, the RAND Corporation. Martel grabs readers by writing that victory is not a transparent concept in the language of war and strategy, but what does it mean to attain victory? He asserts that in Afghanistan and Iraq no clear language described victory, which made these wars contentious among policymakers, the Congress, and the American public. The author argues that it is important to have a definition of victory, as it forms the state’s goals of when to use force. He then defines what policymakers seek to achieve and that short term victory is different from transformative victory in crafting the language needed to mobilize public support. The current edition contains additional insights into 21st century conflicts in Iraq,

Afghanistan and the war on terrorism. He asks who should determine victory, policymakers, the Congress, and what is the role of scholars in this shaping this definition? What are the consequences of failure to define the conditions that govern victory, possibly the loss of public support? Can an administration or government loose the policy narrative? What is the relationship between victory and the responsibility for post-conflict reconstruction? This last question the book contends represents serious shortcomings in the analyses of victory. Martel defines victory as tactical, strategic, and grand strategic, that correspond to limited change, comprehensive change, and transformative change. Tactical victory is where one military defeats another, strategic victory is one nation defeating another, and strategic victory represents a paradigm shift in the international system. He immerses readers in the classics of strategic thought from the ancient Chinese Sun Tzu to the more contemporary Clausewitz, Mahan, as well as nuclear strategists like Herman Kahn, as a means of refreshing our understanding of these classics in the 21st century. His assessments are not just summaries but deep analysis, such as his nuanced differentiation over “Blitzkrieg,” between German Generals Hans Guderian and Erich von Manstein. The first called for bold lightening combined arms attacks, the later drawing the enemy in, having the adversary logistically stretched and then administer the combined arms blow; Hitler’s refusal to withdraw meant that Manstein’s ideas were not fully realized and this very tactic was

used by the Soviets against the Nazis in such battles as Kursk in 1943. A chapter discusses the American experiences with war and the way unconditional surrender would have on U.S. strategic thinking. Is this view limiting? Does unconditional surrender make us focus solely on the tactical? An entire chapter discusses the victor’s responsibility and obligations in an American context, a much needed discussion in light of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chapters seven through twelve are case studies of American involvement such as Vietnam, Panama, Desert Storm, up to Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. The notes section of the book contains a stand-alone reading list of the major writers on strategy, should you wish to further your exploration. You will encounter such surprises as Condoleezza Rice’s appreciation of Soviet Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky who advocated that industrial plans and war plans must be coordinated. The Soviet Marshal would die in Stalin’s purges in 1937. Martel has written a thought provoking book for those who crave ideas on national security and strategic thinking. Cmdr.Youssef Aboul-Enein maintains a regular non-fiction book column in NDWWaterline. He is author of“Militant Islamist Ideology: Understanding the Global Threat,” (Naval Institute Press, 2010) and has a book “Iraq in Turmoil,” that will be published in 2012 by Naval Institute Press. Cmdr.Aboul-Enein teaches part-time at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces inWashington D.C. He wishes to thank Blackwell Library at Salisbury University for providing a quiet place to write this column.

Veteran's Helper: Wounded Warrior's weekly source for federal employment assistance Does no degree equal no job?

CLEARED JOB FAIR

Q: I am a Marine Sergeant who has survived deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. I have lost hearing in one ear, a limb and have dealt with things that most 26-year-olds never even think about.But I don’t have a college degree.I have a baby and a wife depending on me, and as I separate from the Marine Corps, (not my choice—I am too disabled to do my job),I hear over and over that without a degree I can’t get hired.School is just not an option at the moment.I wonder if anyone understands that Marines like myself have learned more skills by doing, than my educated peers have by reading and passing tests. Doesn’t experience matter to anyone? A: In 2011’s US News andWorld Report survey of America’s most educated cities,Washington DC ranked number 3, behind only Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI—the sites of two major universities where the population is decidedly skewed toward graduates. This is a town that may be too book smart for its own good. I endorse your assertion that experience is just as valuable as a diploma, but we are both fighting against popular sentiment. One piece of advice we offer to all who use our resume assistance program is to get serious about translating your skills into terms employers can understand. If you look as good on paper as your well-educated competition, employers will more easily make the connection that not only can you do the job, you probably have already developed all the skills you need in a much harsher working environment. You have learned to analyze very complex situations with little time for contemplation and no room for error, right? You have been asked to make decisions that affect the lives of others and lead, follow and team with individuals who depended on you?You demonstrated the ability to remain calm, stay on task and accomplish mission objectives? I bet you said “yes” to all three: these are highly sought after qualities. Make sure your resume reflects them. Whenever possible, I encourage you to take advantage of opportunities to meet employers face to face, look them in the eye, and sell yourself. You have a unique perspective, tell employers just what you said here—that you have the skills and ability to be a fantastic addition to their team. If you keep at it, you will find someone to whom that makes sense. They are out there. Laura Stanek, Human Resource Advisor and Wounded Warrior Program Manager, is dedicated in assisting wounded warriors and disabled veterans from all branches of service with transition to federal civilian employment.

NGIS Continued from 1 much better than the former VQ," said Gene Hile, MWR's manager for Naval DistrictWashington (NDW). "You are going to find quality and standardization at an excellent price— from a third to half the cost of a regular commercial hotel." Installation visiting quarters’ were separated from the military housing program to better suit the needs of a different customer. According to Hile, the housing office provides an excellent service when hosting Sailors and their families. However, personnel needing hotel accommodations have different requirements and theVQ model was no longer effective.When the time came for housing to modernize through the Public Private Venture (PPV), so did the time for short term lodging. "In the days before Navy Gateway Inns and Suites, a Sailor easily would have arrived at the VQ, pay the 20 dollars for a night's stay before turning in for the night," said Debra Raspberry, assistant manager at the lodging facility located at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). "That very same Sailor might arrive to find a room that had seen better days—leaky faucets, a toilet that won't stop running, or bad wallpaper." John Inaldo, accounts manager at JBAB, said that many Department of Defense employees and military personnel prefer to stay on base because the amenities offered are comparable to mainstream commercial facilities at a much better price. “In the DC area, the average night stay may cost 170 dollars and up. Our highest rate is only 70 dollars a night,” said Inaldo. “We also offer a variety of different room types and

1031277

Waterline amenities.” Navy Gateway Inns and Suites offers similar amenities to commercial name brand hotels, including refrigerators, microwaves, large high definition televisions and queen sleeper sofas. Some of the suites offered to officers even include multiple bedrooms, full kitchens and even laundry rooms, he added. “We are now comparable to any major hotel chains when it comes to our amenities,” said Inaldo. “Not only can we provide a great place to stay, we offer first rate customer service.” Navy Gateway Inns and Suites' motto is “Costumers’ first," and according to Raspberry customer service is the company's foremost priority. The facilities at JBAB have 238 rooms with a staff of 73, which equates to one employee for every three guests when every room is full. “We can offer an outstanding customer experience at a very reasonable price,” said Raspberry. “Our location has a lot of repeat business because we are focused on service.” Navy Gateway Inns and Suites is available to members of all branches of the military and civilian employees with multiple locations within NDW. For those looking to travel abroad for vacation, or for families wishing to visit Sailors stationed overseas, Navy Gateway Inns and Suites offers facilities in 10 different countries. "Customers will receive the same level of quality and service no matter where you go," said Raspberry. “If you stay with us, you won’t be disappointed.” Reservations for Navy Gateway Inns & Suites locations can be made by calling 1-877NAVY-BED (1-877-628-9233), or on line at www.dodlodging.net.

Supporting the right to vote Federal Voting Assistance Program

Throughout the fleet, Navy leaders support participation in the democratic process by: • Supporting the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) by publishing factual information about registration and voting laws, with special emphasis on absentee voting requirements. • Training and equipping voting assistance officers at every level of command. • Ensuring expeditious processing of balloting material and proper postmarking and date-stamping of absentee ballots. • Taking all necessary steps to prevent fraud and to protect voters against any coercion. For more information please visit: http://www.fvap.gov.

LINE Continued from 1 Vickers mentioned that employees sometimes go to their supervisor to report an incident, only to be told by management that they may be unable to assist them. "Often times when someone is exposed to sexual harassment, that person is told by their supervisors to speak with an EEO officer. There are procedures that management needs to follow as well," she said. "Supervisors need to address the allegations of harassment and not simply forward the complaint to the EEO without attempting to rectify the situation." Supervisors are the first responders to end any form of harassment. The moment an employee reports an incident, a supervisor has a responsibility to put an end to the situation, Vickers added. "When an allegation is made, management must remove the alleged harasser from the immediate work environment, and contact the personnel office for guidance," she stated. "During the investigation, the alleged harasser should be placed on administrative leave or assigned a work detail that separates them from who they are accused of harassing." A common cause of harassment in the workplace originates from workers becoming complacent in their environment. According to Vickers, many employees spend

1031240

more time at work than at home, causing barriers between professionalism and familiarity to drop. "People become comfortable to a point where conversations may become uncomfortable to those who are listening," Vickers said. "And while the person you are speaking with may be comfortable, others who may overhear it may not." If those barriers come down, and employees are aware of it, restoring those boundaries should become a priority. Unfortunately, sometimes an employee may say something that could be perceived as inappropriate and be unaware that their comments are unacceptable, Vickers stated. "If you have to think about what you have to say before you say it, then it's probably not work appropriate," saidVickers. "Sometimes, people have a different perspective on things, but that does not mean something you could say won't offend someone else." For Service members needing information regarding sexual harassment or discrimination, please visit your local Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office or this website:www.cnic.navy.mil/CNIC_HQ_Site/Wha tWeDo/FleetandFamilyReadiness/FamilyRe adiness/FleetAndFamilySupportProgram/Se xualAssaultPreventionandResponse/. For addition information on NDW’s EEO office, please contact Chandra Vickers at: 202-433-2559 or by email at: chandra.vickers@navy.mil.
