NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2012: We train to protect Chatney Auger, NDW Public Affairs

With the increase in homegrown terrorism, it is imperative that first responders are prepared. Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is one of the military's vehicles for ensuring that its first responders are primed and ready for anything. "This is a yearly military exercise designed to test the effectiveness of our Anti-Terrorist Force Protection (ATFP) readiness and training programs," said Julie Keegan, exercise planner for Naval DistrictWashington (NDW). During the week of March 19-24 emergency responders on military installations around the world will engage in Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2012, the largest ATFP exercise on all naval bases and installations conducted in the Continental United States. A series of mock drills are staged to resemble reallife emergencies during Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield throughout the region. "This will test our emergency responders on how knowledgeable they are on ATFP procedures and how they can think on their feet," said Keegan. According to Keegan, when Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is in full swing, Sailors, civilian employees, and contractors will notice activity that may look like a real-life emergency and those accessing the installation can

expect possible delays due to increased security checks posture at installation access points. Along with the normal ID checks, personnel should also expect additional delays from bag checks and possible vehicle canvassing. The public may also see an increase in security service personnel and traffic around installations. While residents should remain vigilant for suspicious activity, they should not interpret the additional activity as more than a routine military exercise. "Normally, installations operate under Force Protection Condition (FPCON) Alpha. This status applies when a general threat of terrorist activity exists," said Keegan. "Through the course of the Solid Curtain/ Citadel Shield 2012, security procedures will progress through PFCON Charlie." FPCON Charlie is set when an incident occurs or when the probability of an attack may occur against personnel of the facilities. It is also important that personnel pay attention and heed messages on the Wide Area Alert Network (WAAN) during Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield. WAAN is a mass notification system that alerts the base population of increased force protection levels and potential danger. The AtHoc software application on Navy Marine Corp Intranet (NMCI) computers (the small purple globe in your system

Healthy Heart Month starts now at the Branch Health Clinic By Leigh Houck, MHS Health Educator, BHC, WNY Cardiovascular disease, or heart disease, is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, killing 630,000 Americans each year. There are many types of heart disease such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, and congestive heart failure. To prevent heart disease and to increase awareness of its effects, the Branch Health Clinic Washington NavyYard (BHCWNY) is proud to be participating in Healthy Heart Month. The most common type of heart disease in the U.S. is coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to a

TheTaxmancometh by Aaron J. Heiner, NDW Public Affairs The Navy Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Center will open for business today and will remain open until April 17 for enlisted personnel and family members who are seeking assistance with their 2011 tax returns. The VITA program provides Sailors, retirees and their dependent family members, as well as reservists in limited cases and DoD civilians overseas or deployed with the U.S. Armed Forces, the ability to get help with their taxes, and to have their returns prepared for free by Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-trained volunteers. According to Lt. j.g. Chao Pan, tax assistance officer for Naval DistrictWashington (NDW), there are changes affecting how theVITA centers function for tax year 2011. In the past, a service member or spouse would sit down with a tax preparation assistant, review the paperwork, fill out the tax forms, then file a return. "This year instead of the tax assistance center preparing

Chaplain’s Corner

Not just another Groundhog’s Day By Lt. Johnathan Bush, NDW When I think about February, one thing that comes to mind is Groundhog’s Day. Growing up we learn that of course this day is the day we find out how long until spring comes forth. When I hear “Groundhog Day” mentioned, my memories turn to the movie bearing that name that starred Bill Murray. I’m sure many of you are familiar with it, but if not, the basic premise centers on a man waking up day after day only to find he is reliving the same day over and over again. This basic premise is one that many of us have experienced to some degree in our lives when we get stuck in a rut, whether at home or

at work. How many of us have ever said the words, “This feels like groundhog’s day to me?” I remember thinking this the first time I went though basic training as it seemed every day was the same. At other points in my life, I have felt this way again, often wishing for something new to come along. I wonder now though, what I might have missed due to my focus being on the routine, really on the past, and not on the future and looking for the differences each day bring. A passage of scripture that I try and remember at times like this is Isaiah 43:18-19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

This year, I encourage each of you to strive daily to look for the new, good things that happen all around.

While this whole chapter speaks on God’s relationship with Israel, for me this passage also helps me to look for the new things each day. For example, when I am

feeling down and stuck in a rut, I often miss the small things like the simple kindness shown by a coworker or the beautiful sunset as I am driving home. If I am only looking in the past, I know I will miss so many good things that are right in front of me. This year, I encourage each of you to strive daily to look for the new, good things that happen all around. When the time comes and you are having your own “Groundhog Day”, take a moment to step back and reassess what is going on around you. Grab hold of the good things, no matter how small they seem, and use them to change your outlook on the future. Grace and peace, Chaplain Bush

It will get us more prepared for anything major that could happen and give police officers more expertise and training for all major events. — Corporal Gerald Lee, Naval Observatory

Notable African American Sailor Doris Miller, known as "Dorie" to shipmates and friends, enlisted in the U.S Navy as Mess Attendant 3rd Class on September 16, 1939, to travel and earn money for his family. He later was commended by the Secretary of the Navy, was advanced to Mess Attendant 2nd Class and 1st Class, and subsequently was promoted to Cook 3rd Class. Following training at the Naval Training Station Norfolk, Miller was assigned to the ammunition ship USS Pyro (AE-1) where he served as a Mess Attendant, and on January 2, 1940 was transferred to USS West Virginia (BB-48), where he became the ship's heavyweight boxing champion. In July of that year he had temporary duty aboard USS Nevada (BB-36) at Secondary Battery Gunnery School. He returned to West Virginia on Aug. 3, and was serving in that battleship when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Miller had arisen at 6 a.m., and was collecting laundry when the alarm for general quarters sounded. He headed for his battle station, the anti-aircraft battery magazine amid ship, only to discover that torpedo damage had wrecked it, so he went on deck. Because of his physical prowess, he was assigned to carry wounded fellow Sailors to places of greater safety. Then an officer ordered him to the bridge to aid the mortally wounded Captain of the

ship. He subsequently manned a 50 caliber Browning anti-aircraft machine gun until he ran out of ammunition and was ordered to abandon ship. Miller described firing the machine gun during the battle, a weapon which he had not been trained to operate: "It wasn't hard. I just pulled the trigger and she worked fine. I had watched the others with these guns. I guess I fired her for

about fifteen minutes. I think I got one of those Jap planes. They were diving pretty close to us." Miller was commended by the Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox on April 1, 1942, and on May 27, 1942 he received the Navy Cross, which Fleet Admiral (then Admiral) Chester W. Nimitz, the Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet per-

sonally presented to Miller on board aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) for his extraordinary courage in battle. Speaking of Miller, Nimitz remarked: This marks the first time in this conflict that such high tribute has been made in the Pacific Fleet to a member of his race and I'm sure that the future will see others similarly honored for brave acts.

Q: I am a veteran interested in becoming a contract specialist. My uncle is one and he says there are always jobs. I have applied for several positions and was told that I don’t qualify due to a positive education requirement. My wife tells me that jobs in the government don’t usually have education requirements (experience can be used instead) so I am confused. Am I just getting the run around? A: Short answer: no, you aren’t getting the run around. While it is indeed true that most positions in federal service don’t require you to have a degree or specialized training, there are a few outliers that actually do. Contract Specialist (the 1102 series for those in the know), happens to be just such a job. In order to qualify for any advertised vacancy, you have to have a 4year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a major in any field OR at least 24 semester hours in an accredited college or university in any combination of the following fields: accounting, business, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management. (I cut and pasted that right from the regulations, so forgive me for the awkward language.) The audit series (0511) is another which has a positive educational requirement, this time for a degree in accounting or a related field such as business administration, finance, or public administration that included or was supplemented by 24 semester hours in accounting or 18 accounting credits with 6 hours in business law. Whew! Scientific and professional positions, medical positions, attorneys and a handful of other roles require certifications, degrees and education to qualify for federal employment. If you are seriously thinking that you might be interested in any of these fields, it might be a good idea to speak with someone in Human Resources about what you need to do to get there. Much of the information can be found on www.opm.gov as well, but without knowing series numbers, it can be difficult to discover readily what you need. For some, going to school is definitely on the agenda, so if this includes you, being smart and target your education toward your end state early. For others, having a job today is an absolute necessity; positions with positive education requirements may not be an immediate solution to those needs.

The Rise of the Federal Colossus Book review Reviewed by Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein The Rise of the Federal Colossus: The Growth of Federal Power from Lincoln to F.D.R.by Peter Zavodnyik. Published by Praeger, Denver, CO. Part of the Praeger Series on American Political Culture. 2011. One of the constant debates in American political culture is the size of the Federal government; this question is also tied up into the balance between the authority of the Federal government and the States. Chicago attorney Peter Zavodnyik goes beyond the slogans and sound bites to help us understand the gradual expansion of the federal government in a refreshing and thoroughly researched book using articles of the period, court opinions, and congressional records. This is a scholarly book that ar-

gues that Federal expansion just did not materialize with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, but began during the American CivilWar. This expansion also had periods of slight contraction in which federal authority receded with the collapse of reconstruction in the late 1870s. The author argues that the post-Civil War era was the catalyst for Federal growth, as debates over Civil War pensions, taxation, agriculture policies, civil service reform and railroad regulations to name a myriad of issues would be brought before the states and federal government for debate. In the chapter, “Federalism and War, 1861-1865,” readers will discover the hidden aspects of the Civil War, which is the establishment of a national bank system by Congress to aid in the sale of bonds. One aspect of why the Union won the Civil War, was the leveraging of debt to finance the war, while the Confederates chose to finance the war through the raising of actual funds. The National Bank Act of 1863

would be the start of getting state banks to join the national bank, and thereby unifying our currency. These are issues very relevant today, as Europe is grappling with the complexity of whether to rescue or abandon the Euro.

Other parts of the book explore the passage and then erosion of the Civil Rights Act of 1875, and the assertion of the “equal protection” clause in the Constitution. One gets a sense reading the book that while our history maybe filled with instances of rank injustice, there have been mechanisms to debate and eventually change this injustice.The book also discusses the impact of federal expansion in times of economic or military crisis. Another aspect to the volume was that no constitutional amendment was passed expanding the federal government’s spending and regulatory powers during the seventy years between the Civil War and the Great Depression, yet federal power grew dramatically in increments, such as the regulation of food safety, workplace safety, and much more. The book ends with the Herbert Hoover Administration (1929-1933) and the dramatic events of the second act of the worldwide economic shock, which was the failure of banks and states passing emer-

gency legislation to close banks to prevent more failures. State treasuries were empty, and fear spread among the public. This had set the stage for the greatest expansion of federal authority in the form of the New Deal. However, this was not dictatorial, but based on precedent. For instance the regulation of capital markets took the form not only in past legislation regulating the national banks, yet also the issuance of railroad securities in the building of the trans-continental railroad. Zavodnyik has written a fine account of America’s political history from President’s Lincoln to Hoover. Editor’s Note:Cmdr.Aboul-Enein teaches part-time at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. He maintains a regular non-fiction book review column in the NDW Waterline. Commander AboulEnein wishes to thank his daughter Maryam for discussing aspects of American history while visiting her at Salisbury University.

U.S. Navy photo by Patrick Foughty

Vice Adm. Michael Vitale, Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), reenlists Force Master Chief Christopher Engles on Jan. 27, 2012 at the CNIC headquarters in the Washington Navy Yard. Engles has served over 30 years and is currently the senior enlisted leader within the CNIC Enterprise. The CNIC Enterprise includes 11 Navy Regions, 70 Installations, and 127 Naval Operations Support Centers, and is responsible for 31 business lines and 122 critical shore capabilities across the globe.

Transition Benefits: Officials visit Fleet to discuss post-ERB From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs Representatives from Navy Personnel Command's fleet engagement team will meet with Sailors, families and leadership in California to discuss personnel policies and force management measures impacting the fleet, officials said Jan. 24. "We'll be discussing post-Enlisted Retention Board (ERB) matters, with an emphasis on transition benefits," said Capt. Steven Holmes, director, community management branch, Bureau of Naval Personnel. Holmes and his team recently completed a post ERB fleet engagement visit to Japan and Hawaii, where they discussed Involuntary Separation Pay, transition benefits and Reserve affiliation options for transitioning Sailors. The fleet engagement team is composed of representatives from the enlisted distribution division, enlisted community management division, career development program and the Navy's ERB transition assistance coordinator. The all-hands briefs are geared for Sailors not retained by the ERB. Spouses are encour-

aged to attend the all-hands sessions. The fleet engagement team will also conduct a leadership roundtable for commanding officers and their command teams at each site for commands that have ERB-affected Sailors. "It is imperative that every leader in the chain of command take an active role in the transition process to ensure each Sailor is optimally prepared," said Holmes. Sailorsshouldcontacttheircommandcareer counselor for local briefing times and locations. The Navy will conduct additional fleet engagement visits to the Pacific Northwest, Norfolk, and Mayport/Jacksonville in the coming months. Dates will be released as they become available. For more information about transition benefits visit the Transition Assistance Web Page available under the Hot Links section of the Navy Personnel Command at www.npc.navy.mil or contact the NPC customer service center at CSCmailbox@ navy.mil or 1-866-U-ASK-NPC.

Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2012 March 19-24 - Expect increased security measures

Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is taking place during the week of March 19-24 2012.This is the United States Fleet Forces (USFF) annual Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection exercise. Various drill scenarios and an increase in Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures will be taking place throughout the week which will affect base traffic patterns & increased security checks at base access control points. All personnel assigned to theWashington NavyYard, as well as Naval Support Activity Washington and its seven fence lines should expect increased delays in entering these installations and use extra caution while transiting throughout these bases. For up-to-date information, all hands should engage with their COC to ensure they are kept abreast of events as they occur.

This photo was taken on the Margalla Hills overlooking Islamabad of Capt. Al Given with eight year old Loobna. Loobna lives on the hills with her brother, five year old Dani, and their parents and sell fruit and water to people out hiking. Capt. Given has built a strong relationship with the family. "I have decided to adopt this this family. family. Both Both are are in school and Loobna Loobna wants wants to be a teacher.. I believe that teacher that charity charity at the the lowest lowest levels levels has the the greatest greatest impact."

Program continues to pay dividends By Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service Editor's Note: This is part two of a three part series. With the first two cohorts of AFPAK Hands deployed or in key staff positions and a third cohort of about 230 members in training for its upcoming deployment, the program has generated almost 700 Afghanistan and Pakistan specialists. “They will have various levels of experience, but the bottom line is they have a greater understanding of how these countries work,” Lt. Col. Frederick “Fritz” Gottschalk said. The hands rotate among three general statuses: deployed, serving related out-of-theater staff assignments, and training for the next deployment. Even during the deployment and staff phases, they received continued language and cultural training to ensure their skills don’t lapse. Meanwhile, the program aims to expand their horizons. For example, about 40 members of the first cohort are enrolled in master’s degree programs designed to broaden their expertise before they return to the theater. “During their one year in Afghanistan or Pakistan, they are looking at the problems right in front of them,” Gottschalk said. “When they go into their master’s degree program, they see the whole picture: the region, the regional dynamics, and how religion [and] travel dynamics influence the area.” “These folks will study as much as they can and learn as much as they can,” he continued. “Then they will go back into Afghanistan or Pakistan into key billets where they need someone who thinks at that strategic level and has a deeper understanding of the regional issues and dynamics.” Gottschalk conceded that the program ran into a few bumps in the road before reaching its current stride.When members of the first cohort began deploying in January 2010, just four months after the program started, many had to figure out their own jobs. Some found themselves working for commanders on the ground who didn’t know exactly how to use them. “Nobody really knew what an AFPAK Hand was or their capabilities,” Gottschalk said. “It was a learning curve on both sides. The AFPAK Hands had to learn how to integrate into the local command structure, and the local command structure had to learn how to best use that AFPAK Hands capability in his or her area of operations.” “It was like you are starting to build the plane while you are flying,” he said. “When that happens, you might put some of the parts in the wrong spot.” As a result, about 40 percent of that first group was moved to different billets.That dropped to 20 percent for the second cohort, and Gottschalk said he expects an even smoother transition for the third cohort. AFPAK Hands is a language and cultural immersion initiative which consists of three phases: language and cultural training, in and out of theater deployment. During an out of theater deployment a service member can be assigned to a government agency, DoD command or other organization where their work in country can be applied and then add to their perspective when they redeploy.

From left, Culinary Specialist 1st Class Jeric Q. Toledo, Religious Program Specialist 1st Class Gary G. Denette, and Navy Career Counselor 1st Class Antonia Brown, the three finalists for the CNIC Sailor of the Year award, stand outside CNIC Headquarters at the Washington Navy Yard.

CNIC Announces Sailor of the Year By MC1 Monique K. Hilley, CNIC Public Affairs Commander, Navy Installations Command, Vice Adm. Michael C. Vitale, announced Religious Program Specialist First Class (Fleet Marine Force) Gary G. Denette as CNIC Sailor of the Year during an awards ceremony at CNIC Headquarters, Jan. 26. "As CNIC Sailor of the Year, I hope to represent CNIC well by taking care of Sailors just as I've always done," said Denette. Petty Officer Denette was nominated for the award after being named Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Sailor of the Year. Culinary Specialist First Class (Surface Warfare) Jeric Q. Toledo, Commander, Navy Region Southwest Sailor of the Year, and Navy Career Counselor First Class (Surface Warfare) Antonia Brown, Commander, Navy Region Japan Sailor of the Year, were also finalists in the CNIC Sailor of the Year competition. "I feel honored to have been selected as CNIC Sailor of the Year because all of the nominees are deserving of the award because they are all incredible Sailors who do great things for those they lead," said Denette. Denette, born in Lewiston, Maine, was raised in Portsmouth, Va., where he graduated from Churchland High School. Denette is currently assigned to Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Va. His prior duty assignments include Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill., Religious Program Specialist Class "A" School and CREST; 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit in Okinawa, Japan; 1st Marine Division in 29 Palms, Calif.; MCAGTFTC, 29 Palms, Calif.; 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, Calif.; a deployment to Iraq with 3rd Battalion 5th Marines; Marine Headquarters Group, Camp Pendleton, Calif.

"AtHoc is a very important tool for emergencies and exercises like Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield because it provides instant notification of events and circumstances as they develop," said Keegan. Aside from AtHoc notification, this year's exercise puts emphasis on the importance of identifying Mission Essential Personnel (MEP). Prior to Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield

2012, all installations within NDW and their tenant activities are to identify respective critical missions and MEP to control base access without causing undue adverse mission impact. "When a base operates during an extended period of heightened FPCON, identification of mission essential personnel is imperative," said Keegan. "Mission essential personnel will reduce the risk of casualties by eliminating non-essential personnel during an incident." To receive emergency notifications and information on changing base operational status on your home or work phone, work or personal email, or text please register by visiting the WAAN website at www.cnic.navy.mil

If you have an emergency on base, PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911, this will only delay help getting to you. Call your local base emergency number. If possible, have someone meet the police or ambulance at the front of your building to help direct help to where it is needed.

TAX Continued from 1 the taxes for a Sailor, the center will be offering a self-service environment," said Pan. "Each service member will prepare their own filing using a computer with specialized software. A tax preparation assistant will be available to offer assistance when needed." The self-service computer terminals are designed with Navy Sailors and their families in mind. The software is provided by Military OneSource, based upon the software used by H&R Block, he added. "For the first time tax preparer, the software is very easy to use. All a tax payer has to do is simply answer the questions when prompted," said Pan. Not only are the services free and easy to use, but the tax preparation assistance offered comes from IRS trained volunteers who understands the requirements of Sailors and their families, he stated. "Volunteers go through very specific IRS training, which covers everything from very basic tax preparation up to more complicated tax credits and deductions," Pan said. "Our volunteers are ready to assist personnel from the first time tax filer to service members who have been filing for years." Pan mentioned that first time tax filers may be uncomfortable attempting to file their taxes by themselves, especially if they are recently married or have had a change in dependency status. Some Sailors may have concerns due to complications from frequent deployments, and may not know which state(s) to file. As a result, many Sailors should consult a tax professional before attempting to file themselves. "The advantage of using theTax Assistance Center over a tax preparer service is that we're free," said Pan. "Unlike other tax preparation services, the Navy's Tax Assistance Centers specialize in providing assistance to Sailors and their families." While many service members cringe at the thought of

doing their taxes, filing takes little time at the center. A simple return such as a 1040EZ requires a half hour or less, while a standard 1040 with no itemization can be completed in approximately an hour. More complicated returns may require additional time, according to Pan. Pan suggests Sailors begin the process of filing their yearly taxes as soon as possible. Waiting until the last minute when the rush begins could only complicate the filing process and service members run the risk of even missing the deadline altogether. "File as early as possible. If you are owed a refund, you will receive your money back that much sooner," he said. "Even if you do not expect a refund, filing as soon as possible will get the task out of the way, so Sailors need not concern themselves with it at the last minute." The voting assistance officer requires those wishing to take advantage of their services to bring at least the following documents to expedite the filing process: . All proofs of income . Last year's tax return . A voided check for direct deposit . Military and dependent IDs . Social security cards or taxpayer notices. NDW's NavyVITA Centers are located in building 200, at theWashington NavyYard (WNY), and in building 20 at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). WNY'sTax Assistance Center is open for appointments on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and every second Saturday of the month from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The WNY Tax Assistance Center can be reached by dialing (202) 6855569.

HEART Continued from 1 heart attack. CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed. This is due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on their inner walls. This buildup is called atherosclerosis. As it grows, less blood can flow through the arteries. As a result, the heart muscle can't get the blood or oxygen it needs. This can lead to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack. Most heart attacks happen when a blood clot suddenly cuts off the heart’s blood supply, causing permanent heart damage. You can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developing heart disease. Controlling and preventing risk factors is also important for people who already have heart disease. • Maintain your weight or lose weight if overweight. • Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke. • Control cholesterol, blood pressure. • Drink only in moderation. • Get active and eat healthy. • Talk to your doctor about taking aspirin every day if you are a man over the age of 45, or a woman past menopause. • Manage stress. During the month of February, BHCWNY will focus on sodium’s effect on blood pressure and how you can control the salt or sodium in your diet while still enjoying delicious food. Many people far exceed the standard recommendation of 2300 mg of added sodium per day, which for African Americans and anyone over 55 is reduced to 1500 mg per day. It’s easy to do because so many of us rely on restaurant and processed foods for nourishment. That food tends to be much higher in sodium than its home-cooked counter parts. Even among common food items, the amount of sodium can vary widely. For example, per serving, in: • soup, sodium ranges from, 700 – 1550 mg • frozen pizza, sodium ranges from, 450-1200 mg • salad dressing, sodium ranges from,110-550 mg • bread, sodium ranges from, 95-210 mg To learn more, please stop by our information table this month to pick up health tips and recipes for heart healthy living.
