NDW beefs up force protection

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kiona Miller Naval DistrictWashington (NDW) will participate in the Navy's biggest anti-terrorism force protection (ATFP) exercise, Solid Curtain Citadel Shield, from March 19-24 to practice emergency procedures during a potential threat to security.

One of the common practices that will take place during the weeklong event is the execution of force protection measures.The Department of Defense (DoD) uses a graduated series of Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) as an alert system of suspicious activity, a terrorist threat or an event that could increase security risks.

"Those are progressive security postures that DoD implements in anticipation or in response to a threat of a terrorist attack,� said Rob Shaffer, regional security officer. "Our focus with FPCON is to protect not only DoD installations but DoD families, civilians, and DoD in general. It's not totally a military measure it's to protect everything involved with DoD." FPCON has a series of five levels which are:

Normal, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta as the highest level. Although Alpha is described as a minimal threat on a global scale, Shaffer stated it is the "new normal" and is set during normal base operations.

As a threat increases and becomes more predictable, additional security measures are used and the threat level is increased to Bravo.

If an incident occurs or intelligence indicates a threat is imminent the installation will move to FPCON Charlie. Signs that an installation is at Charlie include reduced access points with barriers to control direction of traffic flow, as well as increased vehicle inspection and personal belongings of anyone entering the base.

Lastly, Delta usually occurs in localized areas and for short periods of time, and is implemented if an actual incident has occurred or if action is expected.

"The purpose is to standardize security measures across DoD so that as the threat conditions change, installation security postures will change incrementally with the threat," said Shaffer. "So it doesn't matter if we are Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, we all under-

SAILOR Continued from 1 During the Korean War, Brown also became the first African American naval aviator to see combat when his squadron operated from USS Leyte (CV-32), flying F4U-4 Corsair fighters in support of United Nations forces. On Dec. 4, 1950, while on a close air support mission near the Chosin Reservoir, Ensign Brown's plane was hit by enemy fire and crashed. Despite heroic efforts by other aviators, he could not be rescued and died in his aircraft. Ensign Jesse L. Brown was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his Korean War combat service.

USS Jesse L. Brown (DE1089) was named in honor of Ensign Jesse LeRoy Brown.

It helps me think about what I need to do as my job away from the office and to prepare an emergency kit for my family for power outages and hurricanes. Inside of the EOC, it helped us to reorganize to better support real world events.

Blue Jacket Café's Recipe for Good Health. . . Step by Step!

Contributors: Mike Sprankle, BJC Manager and Donna Ruokonen, FFR Marketing Director There’s an old adage . . . “If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” And nowhere is this truer than at the Blue Jacket Café (BJC), the dining facility operated by Morale, Welfare and Recreation at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at approximately 9:45 a.m., several members of the BJC staff make a mass exit from the facility, but not for the same reason in the adage. Almost the entire staff, spearheaded by Manager, Mike Sprankle, has opted for a healthier lifestyle and they’re doing it one step at a time.

The group walks three times a week for 30 to 40 minutes before returning to the facility to prepare and serve lunch.

Their recipe for a healthy lifestyle combines healthy eating choices and exercise, the key ingredients in a successful weight loss plan and lifestyle change. BJC’s staff goals for 2012 are “health, happiness and organization”.

“We thought the best way to start a healthy and happy New Year was to begin doing a group walk/exercise program together,” said Sprankle, who developed the program with his staff to utilize the time allowed for exercise and fitness (3 hours per week) supported by personnel regulations at NSA Annapolis and U.S. Naval Academy commands.

The employees who can’t make the 9:45 a.m. time slot because of shift work requested a plan that allows them to exercise at a different time from the main group of walkers as long as their routine does not exceed the 1 hour per day (up to three hours per week) allotted for exercise and does not interrupt the mission of the Blue Jacket Café to feed three meals a day to the population at the Annapolis Area Complex.

“Once I received 20 out of 23 possible requests, I sought approval from BJC supervisor, Mario Farrulla (MWR Director),” Sprankle said. “Mario thought it was an excellent idea and provided 100% support for this program.”

Blue Jacket Café staff members begin an hour long walk as part of a healthier lifestyle campaign started by Mike Sprankle, Blue Jacket Café's Manager. The group walks three times a week for 30 to 40 minutes to reach the staff's goal of "Health, Happiness and Organization".

The walkers started Jan. 4 and so far have enjoyed the program and its benefits. As far as getting out of the heat in the kitchen, Barbara Bennett, food service worker, feels good about the program.

“I’m enjoying getting out and doing something that’s good for me, even during the cold weather,” she said.

Marshall Muncy, BJC Cook, is already feeling the benefits of walking. “I’m more energetic, feel healthier and more motivated,” said Muncy. “Besides, it gets me in the Team Spirit.”

Editor’s Note: Congratulations to the BJC Team for getting out of the kitchen and taking a step in the right direction for a healthier lifestyle! Keep up the good work!

FPCON Continued from 1 stand what the requirements are for the different FPCONs. When DoD says increase to this level, we all implement measures which are commensurate with that level."

According to Shaffer, personnel should expect to see several changes during the week of the exercise as FPCON levels increase. He compared the experience to that of an airport, and advises everyone to prepare for longer lines and delays at entry points.

"What they can expect to see when we increase those FPCONs is a heightened state of readiness throughout the installation," he said. "You can expect to see an increased security presence at the installation.You can expect to see things that look different than they do on a normal basis."

As for normal base operations, NDW will attempt to make the impact as minimal as possible, but will begin to curtail operations as the exercise gets more dynamic.

To help operations on and off base run smoothly, exercise leaders coordinate with local law enforcement to increase awareness of possible backups, and with tenant commands to implement telework policies and off site work capabilities.

"We try and let them know well out in front of the exercise and let them know what is going to happen," said Shaffer. "We give them a time frame and encourage them to exercise those options during our training period so it minimizes the impact on their operation."

Shaffer went on to thank personnel in advance for their patience and wanted to remind everyone that the exercise is an opportunity for the region to practice protection capabilities which will benefit even those not intimately involved in the exercise.

"We can exercise a capability that if we had to implement for real, it would ultimately save a lot of people's lives," he said. "We recognize its inconvenience, we understand it, but we appreciate everyone's tolerance and patience because it helps train our forces."

NEX customers save on purchases

By Kristine M. Sturkie, Navy Exchange Service Command Public Affairs Virginia Beach, VA (NNS) -- The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) revealed Feb. 1 the results of its most recent market basket survey which shows customers save an average of 23 percent below civilian retail prices, not including sales tax, when they shop at their NEX. This is a one percent higher savings over the 2011 survey results.

"Shoppers have a plethora of choices out there. Our focus is to make sure our customers think about the NEX first," said Tess Paquette, NEXCOM senior vice president chief merchandising officer. "Being able to show customers that we save them an average of 23 percent on the merchandise they purchase is very gratifying, especially in these tough economic times."

Each fall, NEXCOM hires an outside company, RetailData, to do a price survey in different areas of the United States to obtain an average percentage number for how much customers save when shopping NEX. To determine the percentage of savings, the same items were surveyed from region to region. The items included major appliances, consumer electronics, furniture, clothing, housewares, sporting goods and more. The different stores shopped for comparison prices included discount stores, mass merchants, full-line department stores and category-killer stores.

The survey compared prices on approximately 350 branded items in the NEX inventory against major retailers across the continental United States and Hawaii. The survey proved NEX customers saved 10.74 percent over WalMart; 15.15 percent over Target; 30.56 percent over Walgreens; 39.36 percent over JCPenney; 34.61 percent over Advance Auto and 15.87 percent over Bed Bath and Beyond.

The survey also determined customers' savings in each of the eight different areas of the country surveyed. Customers in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, save Pearl Harbor 28.87 percent; customers in Everett, Wash., save 23.58 percent; customers in San Diego save 23.20 percent; customers in Bethesda, Md., save 22.90 percent; customers in Norfolk, Va., save 22.35 percent; customers in Great Lakes, Ill., save 22.30 percent; customers in Jacksonville, Fla., save 21.61 percent and customers in Pensacola, Fla., save 19.69 percent.

Many NEX departments offer significant savings to customers including domestics at 48.22 percent; boys at 37.02 percent; girls at 34.72 percent; automotive at 24.79 percent; housewares at 25.47 percent; and ladies at 21.23 percent.

"We want our customers to know that we are doing everything we can to have the products they need at a savings," said Paquette. "That is our mission and the reason why we do what we do."

Veteran's Helper: Wounded Warrior's weekly source for federal employment assistance

Where is my Job Offer?

Q: I am a wounded warrior and I interviewed for a position with DoD last month. Everything went really well. I was told that the manager is "very interested" in hiring me and that I have been "tentatively selected." I have yet to receive anything in writing and this worries me.What is the process? If they want me, why can't they just hire me?

A month seems like a long time to wait between an interview and an offer. Did they change their minds? I don't know if it will seem pushy to contact them.

What do you think?

A: In the world of federal employment, a month between a job interview and job offer is pretty standard. The hiring process is anything but lean. If the manager has informed you of their decision, chances are good that the offer is on its way but staffers have to clear several hurdles before it gets to you. One of the most important of these is Priority Placement Program (PPP) List. This is a register of current employees who are about to lose their jobs through no fault of their own and are first in line for new opportunities. The PPP is unique to DoD-as you said the position on the table belongs to them, I guarantee that PPP clearance is taking place. Your initial application is also being reviewed to assure that you meet all the requirements for citizenship, hiring authority, etc.

When the phone call comes, you are not out of the woods, either. You will get your conditional offer, the condition being completion of pre-employment requirements.

This can include things like background checks or drug testing, physicals and verification of any licenses or credentials your position might require. There is also quite a bit of paperwork for a new employee to fill out and return prior to coming onboard.

The conditional offer is "conditional" based on your successful completion of these tasks. Any delay can hold up the final offer, which comes as a second letter with your start date and reporting instructions. As you may guess, the time between the conditional and final offers can drag a bit too, particularly if a clearance is required.

If the process seems unduly lengthy, you may want to check in with the manager and politely inquire if there is anything you can do to assist. There may be missing paperwork that you aren't aware of, or the offer could just be languishing in a queue and your gentle nudge will get things moving again.

The Washington Navy Yard (WNY) Blacks in Government (BIG) chapter swore in its newest leaders with an official ceremony last month. Blacks in Government was established more than 25 years ago by a small group of African Americans at the Public Health Services in the Parklawn building in Rockville, Maryland. The primary mission of the organization is to promote equity, excellence and opportunity through professional development and empowerment of African Americans and others dedicated to justice at all levels of government.

"The purpose of BIG is to be an employee advocacy organization and our goal is to really provide advocacy through up front training in career development and networking. Then, where necessary of course, providing advice related to equal employment opportunity laws," said Regional BIG President, Shirley A. Jones.

The WNY chapter has been serving each other and the community for more than 20 years.

The Strategy Bridge: Theory for Practice Book review Reviewed by CDR Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN The Strategy Bridge: Theory for Practice by Colin S. Gray. Published by Oxford University Press. 2010.

Colin S. Gray has written some very thought-provoking books on strategy, and he tends to write works on rethinking strategy every decade or so. My first introduction to him was in 1999, when he published "Modern Strategy," also by Oxford University Press. In this volume he criticizes the blind obedience to the classics of military strategy like Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and Thucydides.

His latest book, "Strategic Bridge," continues this advocacy with the added objective of attempting to make an original contribution to the understanding of strategy.

While he respects Carl von Clausewitz's (1780-1831) and his posthumous work "On War," Gray wants to help readers break free from what he calls "Clausewitzian Discipleship," to the point of unhealthiness that slips into uncritical acceptance. The book looks upon Clausewitz, Sun Tzu (500 BC), and Thucydides (395 BC) as arches that support a strategic bridge. Chapters discuss strategy as human behavior driven by theory.

Gray delineates between vi-

sion, policy, strategy, grand strategy, military strategy, operations, tactics, and military doctrine.

The book also contains dozens of short dictums such as "strategy serves politics instrumentally by generating net strategic effect" or "strategy is adversarial.functions both in peace and war." Each dictum contains historic examples and further discussions un-packaging intellectually these complex theories.

One of my favorite dictums in the book is "strategy is human," while deceptively simple it means cultivating empathy and not sympathy for an adversary to reverse engineers their logic, and not mirror-image our own logic on the enemy.

Gray deems it inappropriate to view Clausewitz's "On War," as a sacred text, but a work in progress on strategic theory. He argues the Prussian officer never aspired to construct the definitive conceptual edifice on military strategy. Among the complex theories is the

impact of domestic political influence on high policy and strategy. Perhaps the best part of this complex work is his synthesis of many military classics into a coherent way to think about them in the 21st century.

Aside from the three mentioned so far in this review, which he deems as first tier strategic works, there are second tier works such as Niccolo Machiavelli's (14691527) three works, Jomini's "Art of War" (1838), and current thinkers like Edward Luttwak's "Strategy: The Logic of War and Peace," (2001). Third tier works are

by Bernard Brodie (19101978), who helped us conceptualize the use and strategy of nuclear weapons.

The fourth tier, Gray ends, is such thinkers as Thomas Schelling an economist who thinks of strategy and conflict and whose ideas partly inspired new ways of thinking about the logic of alQaida.

The book overarching theme is that the human element is by far the greatest source of contingency in strategic affairs. An important work for those with a passion for military strategy, or who need a guide to help in your methodical reading of the important works on strategy.

Editor's Note: Commander Aboul-Enein teaches part-time at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces.

He is author of "Militant Islamist Ideology: Understanding the Global Threat," (Naval Institute Press, 2010), he has a new book "Iraq in Turmoil: Historical Perspectives of Dr. Ali al-Wardi from the Ottomans to King Feisal," which will be published by Naval Institute Press in April.

AFPAK Hands: On the ground

photo courtesy of AFPAK Hands

Front row left to right- Lt. Cmdr. Kumar Sankara, and Cmdr. Nick Homan, (both NDW AFPAK Hands) role play during the Defense Language School (DLS) "Immersion" Day. National Capital Region based "Hands" take part in the 16 week language training program in one of three languages: Dari, Pashto or Urdu, at DLS in Rosslyn, Va. The goal is to develop basic conversation skills, scoring a minimum of a 1/1 on the Oral Proficiency Interview.

By Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service Editors Note: This is part three of a three part series.

Most of the hands in Afghanistan are assigned supporting government ministries throughout Afghanistan that Army Lt. Col. Frederick "Fritz" Gottschalk said have far more impact on long-term stability than their names may imply, as well as to district, provincial and village government support teams. Others support reintegration programs, serve on counterinsurgency advise-and-assist teams or as Afghan national security force advisors.

"We know we will have to make some adjustments, but we think we have it about right," Gottschalk said.

The program works, he said, "because you have the right people in the right places getting the right command support."

"You have people who are put where they are needed," he said. "And you have got commanders in theater who are supporting them and understanding the program and saying, 'This is what you can do for me, and this is how I am going to help you.'"

As the program gains traction, Marine Corps Gen. John R. Allen, commander of U.S. and International Security Assistance Force troops in Afghanistan, has become one of its biggest fans. Allen called the program a major component in the comprehensive civil-military counterinsurgency plan and campaign in Afghanistan.

"You are force multipliers," he told those enrolled in the program. "AFPAK Hands are punching way above their weight in terms of the effects that you bring."

Recalling that he was accepted into the international relations officer program as a young officer, Allen said he would have jumped at the opportunity to be part of something like the AFPAK Hands program if it had been available at the time. "I would certainly have applied for it - and had a broken heart if I couldn't be in it," he said.

Looking to the future, Gottschalk said, a fourth AFPAK Hands cohort is likely be stood up to replace outgoing members who have fulfilled their 42 to 45-month commitments to the program.

In doing so, he said, plans call to expand enlisted participation in the program - currently just 21 in a field dominated by mid and senior-grade officers and senior civilians.

And even as the force begins the process of drawing down in Afghanistan, he sees a continued need for the program.

"We anticipate that as traditional military forces scale back, AFPAK Hands will be scaling up, and the last service members to leave Afghanistan will be AFPAK Hands," he said.

Allen is working with the Joint Staff to determine exactly what that future program may look like, Gottschalk said.

A Special Forces soldier with 17 years of experience working with foreign militaries, Gottschalk said he sees the AFPAK Hands program as a template for the future.

"With what's being learned through this, this could be a model for how the U.S. military engages in future operations," he said. "This is a model of how to assist a country that is struggling in an area without applying a lot of military force."

History has shown that wherever the U.S. military engages next, it will have to understand and deal with the "human dimension of the battlefield" - and how to operate after major combat operations end, he said.

"If you don't understand how the government of Country X works or what the people of Country X need from their government, you can't help Country X become a better country," Gottschalk said. "That is where a 'Hands' program would be a huge benefit."

Military Moves: Appraisals Did you know?

You should have your expensive and valuable items appraised prior to the move date of your Household Goods (HHG) Shipment?

What does this mean to you?

Have expensive and valuable items (e.g., artwork, collectibles, heirlooms) appraised.The government does not pay for the appraisals, but consider this part of your investment in the event of loss or damage. Attempt to locate original purchase receipts for your more expensive items and keep them separate from the rest of your shipment. Consider using a video camera or taking close-up pictures to record the condition of your furniture, working condition of your stereo, television and the actual appearance of your expensive and/or valuable items prior to the HHG pack/pickup dates. This could be beneficial in the event you must file a Loss/Damage Claim.

CNIC Continued from 1 liver effective and efficient readiness from the shore that sustain the fleet, enable the fighter, and support families.

Vitale praised the numerous accomplishments of the personnel under his command and of the entire CNIC Enterprise; from molding the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) into the model Personnel Accountability System used across the services, to the development of new shore integration methods and a Total Workforce, capable of continuously supporting operations and services.

"The personnel here at the headquarters, and throughout the entire Enterprise have faced growing numbers of issues and challenges," said Vitale. "I've had the pleasure of witnessing this Enterprise solve complex and dynamic problems, some self-imposed, some caused by outside forces, and forge a way ahead toward a model of shore integration that has forever changed how we do business and provide service to the Fleet, Fighter and Family."

Vitale also thanked the many Navy communities throughout the world that support and allow the Navy to operate in close proximity to their homes and livelihoods, acknowledging the importance of maintaining close ties from the smallest installation to the headquarters level.

"It's the communities, both in the U.S. and abroad, that invite us to live and operate in their backyard, and it's the communities, both within the Navy and outside, that are the anchor of our ability to maintain and operate the best naval force in the world, and I want to thank each one for their support, patience, and welcoming spirit," said Vitale.

French thankedVitale for his wisdom and guidance and spoke briefly about his optimism and vision for the future of CNIC. "During the last 6 years I have been with the CNIC Enterprise I have learned that we have some of the best, brightest, and most talented professionals in the Navy," said French. "Under Vice Admiral Vitale's leadership the CNIC team has set the example for how an Enterprise should function and have established immense credibility on how

Vice Adm. French was promoted shortly before the event after having a successful tour at Navy Region Southwest in San Diego, Calif., where he accomplished major milestones towards energy and water conservation and numerous other green initiatives. French, the son of an Air Force officer and native of San Antonio, is a graduate ofVanderbilt University where he received commission through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in May, 1979. He earned a Master of Science degree from Naval Postgraduate School in 1985 and a Master of Arts from the Naval War College in 1999.

A career submarine officer, French has served on a number of submarines and commanded USS Salt Lake City (SSN 716) and Submarine Squadron 3 in Pearl Harbor. His prior Flag Officer commands include tours at Navy Region Northwest, Navy Region Marianas in Guam, and Navy Region Southwest.

"I am proud to be part of such a superb organization, and I look forward to working with you over the next few

JBAB youth’s faith and scouting shaped who he has become

by Senior Airman, Susan Davis, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs Clark Jones began gaining base-wide recognition when he designed, funded and built a prayer garden at Chapel 1 that was completed and dedicated Dec. 14, 2011.

The self-proclaimed "military brat" is a home school student belonging to the Bolling Area Home Educators (BAHE) group here on JBAB. He is one of three sons of Maj. Gen. Duane Jones, who is also the former Air Force District of Washington commander.

Clark and his twin brother, Blake, were born in Landstuhl, Germany. Their younger brother, Glen, is 12.

His time as an Air Force family member has also taken him to Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and D.C. Because JBAB, formerly known as Bolling Air Force Base, is where Clark has spent a cumulative total of seven years of his life, it is where he calls home.

He got the idea for the prayer garden from a conversation with Ch. (Lt. Col.) Mark Campbell, JBAB chaplain, just before the praise portion of the Protestant worship service one Sunday.

"When we play in church, we practice for an hour before, and then we have about 15 minutes of down time in the back of the chapel waiting for the praise portion to start," he explained. "We talk to Chaplain Campbell sometimes, and he likes to tell us stories about other bases where he has been a chaplain,

and he was talking about being a pastor in New Mexico. He said they had a prayer garden built there and it did wonders for their church community. He said it brought new life into the church, and then he mentioned in passing that he wished we had the sort of new life in our chapel."

Clark said that he was looking for an Eagle Scout project at that time, and Chaplain Campbell's comment was what gave him the inspiration for his prayer garden idea.

"When he said that, it made a real connection in my head," he said. "So I talked to Chaplain Campbell about it, I talked to my scout leaders about it, and they said I should go for it. My main goal for that prayer garden was to get more people into the chapel and for the people who regularly go to the chapel to just have a chance to enjoy it a little bit more.

Before, that courtyard was just a slate of concrete, not very pleasing to look at, so I knew that some other people must feel the same way," Clark said.

Clark explained that once the word got out that he was taking the courtyard on as a prayer garden project, he received a very positive response from others.

"There are four planters filled with flowers and other plants in the garden as well as a birdbath with a fleur de lis on it to represent the Boy Scouts."

While it was a rewarding project after all was said and done, Clark explained, before it came to fruition, there were times when it was overwhelming.

"It may not look like much, but when it

Jones gives a lot of credit to his parents for keeping him involved in extracurricular activities which helped shape who he is today. was all in my garage, from the dirt to the organic peat moss to the two-by-fours for the benches, when everything was piled up, it looked completely overwhelming," he said.

"But it ended up coming together really nicely.

My estimated cost at the beginning of the project was about $1,200, and I was able to raise all $1,200."

Clark was part of a cross-country team organized by BAHE and spoke to Capt. Eric Guzman from the JBAB Company Grade Officers Council about the project.

"Captain Guzman offered to talk to the

CGOC and some of the other councils to raise money for the project," he said. "I wrote letters asking for donations until my hand just about fell off, and I also had a Facebook page that I used to share the project, and I started getting checks in the mail from people I didn't even know."

Clark said he also had plenty of help with physically setting up the courtyard as well, including members from BAHE, scout masters, Cub Scout troop members, U.S. Air Force Honor Guard members, as well as some of his cross country teammates.

"About 30 people altogether showed up bright and early that Saturday morning to put it all together, and I could not have done that by myself in the four hours that it took," he said. "They were just so helpful and so great."

The next chapter in Clark's life will take place in Colorado Springs, Colo., following his father's retirement.There he will finish his last two years of high school, and hopefully go on to study at the U.S. Air Force Academy, he said.

He credits his parents, his faith, Scouting and the wide range of extracurricular activities he has been involved in with helping shape who he is.

"I would highly recommend Scouts or Venturing, the co-ed equivalent of Scouts, to any young people looking for direction or looking to do something admirable and honorable," he said. "It helped me become who I am today."
