NDW community outreach: Prep for Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield By Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer

Thane Yost said that the "will to win is worthless if one does not have the will to prepare". This will to prepare is the goal of Solid Curtain/CitadelShield(SC/CS)2012,whichwill take place next week.

However, the public and communities around NDW installations are being told well in advance that the operation is taking place. "We use a variety of methods to reach out to thecommunityandletthemknowwhat'sgoing on," said John Imparato, director of corporate informationmanagementforNDW. "Themost important thing is to understand why we do it." In the past, simulated events have ranged

from an active shooter being present at Washington Navy Yard to an aircraft explosion at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Although the exercise has become an annual fixture at naval installations throughout the country, the repetitioniskeytoensuringthatNavypersonnelare prepared for any type of emergency, at any time. According to Imparato, it is extremely important to inform the public and to keep lines of communication open during exercises such as SC/CS due to the potential impact on the efficiency of local emergency services. Since the activities taking place during SC/CS are indeed simulated, but will look as if though they are quite real, an unsuspecting member of the community could easily be panicked should they stumble upon the exercise in progress.

Program reveals facial reconstruction

Women's History Month: Yeoman (F) sculptures of sailors from USS Monitor Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer The road to war is one filled with many unforeseen obstacles, but one constant is paperwork. With the United States soon on the way to the trenches in the months leading up to April 1917, a huge clerical shortage at shore facilities around the country led to the birth of the Yeoman (F), also known as Yeoman (Female) or the Yeomanettes. Prior to 1917, women served in very limited roles in the U.S. military, delegated almost exclusively to nursing and similar support roles, and were never fully equal with their male counterparts. Even carrying women to sea on board Navy vessels without express permission of the secretary of the navy was strictly prohibited by

YEOMAN Continued from 1 multiple regulations written from 1802 to 1920. However, with the establishment of the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908 and the specter of war on the horizon, that was beginning to change. Clerical needs exploded with preparations for war underway following German resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels was swamped with requests for clerks and stenographers, yet there were no appropriations that allowed for additional civilians to be hired to fill those needs. "Every bureau and naval establishment appealed for clerks and stenographers," said Daniels, quoted in a July 30, 1942 Navy press release. "How could they be secured at once? The Civil Service Commission could not furnish a tithe of the number required, even if there had been the money to pay them." Cleverly, Daniels turned to his lawyers to determine whether or not women were forbidden in the Naval Reserve: the law did not specifically state that a "man" must fill those roles, only that they be "persons who may be

"Then enroll women in the Naval Reserve as yeomen…" said Daniels, "…and we will have the best clerical assistance the country

can provide." Loretta Walsh was enlisted as the first woman to operate in the United States armed forces in a non-nursing capacity on March 17 1917, and the United States would enterWorld War I less than a month later on April 6. From there, the Yeomen (F)'s numbers grew exponentially, with over 11,000 by Armistice a year later. Although the women enlisted as Yeomen (F) were primarily assigned to clerical work in the continental United States close to their homes, some were put to use in the war effort as translators, draftsmen, fingerprint experts, ship camouflage designers and recruiting agents. None were commissioned officers, which would come over two decades later with the institution of the WAVES. Women in the Navy have been put to use in a wide variety of roles over the years, but it all had to start somewhere. Although they were a while away from serving on submarines, the Yeomen (F) answered the call and played an extremely important role in winning World War I. "I felt that if I could once get a full-time war job I might turn the world upside down, pronto, and bring back the relaxing, happy days of peace," said Estelle Kemper, from her publication "I Was a Yeoman (F)".

VCNO visits Big Apple to highlight women's role in Navy today By Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello, Vice Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs NEW YORK (NNS) -- The vice chief of naval operations (VCNO) and a group of women Sailors visited NewYork March 7 as part of Navy efforts to commemorate International Women's Day and March as Women's History Month. Admiral Mark Ferguson participated in a United Nations (U.N.) discussion panel on women in non-traditional roles and later visited the New York Stock Exchange, where he and the Sailors rung the closing bell. "Women are serving in critical jobs in every mission the Navy is engaged in around the world," said Ferguson. "I thought that it was important to highlight our talented female officers, enlisted and civilians, as they are an invaluable asset to the strength of our Navy." Each year, in recognition of International Women's Day,

there is a hosted-feature event related to the representation of women in the U.N. This year's panel focused on encouraging change in traditionally male dominated institutions, such as the military and police. Ferguson was asked to represent the U.S. Navy to share best practices and lessons learned about how to change culture and better employ the significant talent pool that women represent. "Women comprise 58% of college graduates in the U.S. today and we want that talent for the Navy now and into the future," said Ferguson. "Talent wins every time; women in visible leadership positions inspire others and demonstrate that our Navy seeks only the best." Joining Ferguson were Rear Adm. Annie Andrews, Director, Total Force Requirements Division, Capt. Lisa Franchetti, a surface warfare officer who commanded both a destroyer and destroyer squadron, Cmdr. Miriam Smyth, a career naval intelligence officer serving on the VCNO's staff, Lt. Sarah Flaherty, a

Navy helicopter pilot, and Chief Petty Officer Lynn Rodriguez, a Seabee, Navy construction and salvage diver and 2012 Master Chief Anna Der-Vartanian Leadership Award winner. The group finished the day by visiting the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), where they met with exchange officials and traders on the floor, before ringing the closing bell in support of NYSE efforts to highlight women in business and government. (See video of closing bell at: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=KwpDqUeTdMg.) More than 55,000 active duty and reserve women are serving in the Navy, comprising 17.1 percent of the Navy Total Force.The Navy currently has 35 active and reserve female flag officers and 59 female command master chiefs.

25th Annual Joint Women's Leadership Symposiums marks record attendance By Ensign Amber Lynn Daniel, Diversity and Inclusion Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The two day Sea Service Leadership Association (SSLA) Joint Women's Leadership Symposium (JWLS) concluded March 6 with the largest attendance on record, with more than 1,700 women representing all five branches of service. Hosted at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, Md., the symposium included speeches by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy and Olympic Medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Greenert addressed a standing-room only crowd March 6, sharing his thoughts on the SSLA motto, "inspired by the past, focused on the future." In alignment with this motto is where Greenert notes he stands as he looks at

"diversity and our talent base." Greenert said that women are a major, major part of the talent.This event truly highlights thetalentanddiversitythatournationneedsas the Navy goes forward and operates globally. The symposium also included several senior leadership panel discussions on topics including "Finding Balance in your Navy Career," and "How to be a Mentor/Mentee." During his speech Greenert also underscored the important role of mentorship, and how women today can become mentors to the Navy's future leaders so the Navy can be more effective. "Mentoring is a huge part of today's Navy. We've got to nurture and bring along our leaders and make sure they understand what opportunities are available and develop them to be leaders of the future," said Greenert. "Both male and female, we need to nurture them, encourage them, and groom a diverse force."

For one JWLS attendee, the conference boosted her confidence in both her Naval career and her role as a working mother. "I feel more confident and empowered. It was really nice to see and hear that so many commands are sending their people to this," said Culinary Specialist Petty Officer 1st Class (SW/AW) Tanya Johnson. Married with five daughters, Johnson especially related to former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy's presentation on creating a work/life balance. "I was really emotional, because there have been points where I've felt really, really overwhelmed," said Johnson. "To hear someone else share and talk about her experience, and to be surrounded by all of these active duty service women is just amazing. It's something I won't forget." The symposium also included a special 70th AnniversaryWAVES Luncheon hosted by

the Navy Memorial where more than fifteen WAVES from throughout the United States attended the sold-out luncheon. "The highlight of my day was interacting with the WAVES and listening to some of their stories," said Chief Quartermaster Venetta Charles. "Seeing how many military women have paved the way for me, for us, to be able to do what we do is hard to put into words. I didn't realize what they had to go through. I've heard stories but to actually sit and speak to someone who lived it is awesome," said Charles. Established in 1978, SSLA is the only nonprofit organization in the United States dedicated to providing professional development through networking, education, and mentorship of women from all three maritime armed forces.

WRNMMC Receives Joint Commission Accreditation By Bernard S. Little, Journal staff writer WalterReedNationalMilitaryMedicalCenter(WRNMMC)successfullycompleteditsfirst surveybytheJointCommission(TJC)lastweek, TJC surveyors announced during a briefing in WRNMMC's Clark Auditorium last Friday. The surveyors andWRNMMC Commander, Rear Adm. Alton L. Stocks, commended Walter Reed Bethesda staff for the successful survey, which evaluated the hospital's quality of health care and efficiency of administrative procedures, leading to its full accreditation. "I congratulate you on a successful Joint Commission survey," said Dr. Marvin Kolb, TJC survey team leader that assessed WRNMMC. A fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Physician Executives, Kolb said, "from every patient experience to every interaction with staff, we felt and heard that what you do matters.We thank you for your commitment. It's world-class." Kolb said there was "not one finding" in patient care areas at WRNMMC during the TJC survey even though patient tracers "looked thoroughly under every rock. [They] did not findanystandardsoutofcompliancerelatedto care provided to patients.They were superb." He said there were some observations related to the environment of care, utility systems in regards to ventilation, and sterile processing within some activities, but overall, the hospital did exceptionally well on the survey,

its first since the former National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) and the formerWalter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) integrated in September 2011 to formWRNMMC. Both of those medical centers "had outstanding track records and successful surveys" before integration, Stocks said. NNMC was surveyed in November 2010 andWRAMC in April 2011. In addition, NNMC had a TJC one-day extension survey in April 2011. All health-care organizations, other than laboratories, are subject to a three-year accreditation cycle by TJC. The Joint Commission is a U.S.-based non-profit organization that surveys more than 19,000 health-care organizations and programs in the United States for possible accreditation. According to its website, TJC's mission is "to continuously improve health care for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating health care organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value." TJC's vision is for "all people [to] always experience the safest, highest quality, best-value health care across all settings," according to the TJC website. AlthoughtheTJCprovidesorganizationswith theiraccreditationdecision,specificfindingsand recommendations from surveys are not made public, Monroe explained. Organizations deemed to be in compliance with all or most of theapplicablestandards,suchasWRNMMC,are awarded the decision of Accreditation.

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

Why don’t these Vets interview better? Q: Hi There— love this column…it got me intrigued about hiring some wounded/disabled service members in my department. I had a job that I targeted toward this group and got several resumes of qualified WWs. So far so good. But when I got to the interviews, I hit a brick wall. Of the five candidates I had in, none really engaged. Most of them simply answered questions without expanding on why they wanted the position, why they thought they would be good, etc. I interviewed a college student for another job and was struck by the difference. If I had to choose on an interview alone, there would be no way I would hire a vet. Isn’t anyone teaching these people how to sell themselves? A: This is a great question, one that is increasingly the focus of our discussions with managers. An interview is such an important occasion: it really determines whether or not a lasting relationship will be forged AND whether or not someone who may be verging on financial desperation will have the means to support themselves. Understandably, it’s a pressure driven situation. Let’s look at why some of these individuals you are meeting may not shine in an interview. If you had the same experience with all five (and that’s a decent sample size) why do you think that is? And why was that college student such a counterpoint? Consider military culture with its profound emphasis on team. These men and women are trained to survive and keep one another safe in a combat environment. There is no room for ego or personal agendas. This training is so effective that transition to civilian life becomes a challenge. We write about it every week and witness it every day. Now here comes that bright young upstart from GW (or Georgetown or UMD.) They are trained too: to think critically, compete with one another for grades, class standing and eventually jobs. They are prepared from day one to achieve the end goal—employment. There is pressure from parents to do well, land in a stable career, and protect an often huge monetary investment in education. Can you see why one group may be more appealing in an interview? As an employer who clearly cares about hiring vets, I would encourage you to meet your applicants half way. Try to understand where they are coming from, how they are trained, and give them the opportunity to speak by asking clarifying follow up questions. Listen. Hard. Interview more than once to give everyone a chance to regroup and resell. You will be glad you made the investment. 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.

Career Development Boards chart course for Navy career by setting, tracking goals From Navy Personnel CommandPMW 240 Public Affairs MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Ensuring commands conduct Career Development Boards (CDB) and document them in Career Information Management System (CIMS) is an important job of the career development team as CDBs become the backbone of a Sailor's career in setting goals and guiding educational courses. "Career counselors use CIMS to track, coordinate and document CDBs," said Chief Navy Counselor (AW/SW) Greg Hansen, OPNAV Fleet Introduction Team. "When the Sailor's career desires are recorded in CIMS it becomes part of a permanent record that can follow the Sailor throughout his or her career." CDBs are required for all Sailors upon reporting to a command, after six months on board, at 12-months on board and at 12month intervals thereafter. Official guidance is contained in OPNAVINST 1040.11D, Navy Enlisted Retention and Career Development

Program. Typical topics covered during a CDB include watch-standing qualifications, continued education goals, advancement, shortand long-term career objectives, Perform-toServe (PTS) and Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores. Leadership can use CDBs to learn the priorities of the Sailor and align the Sailor's priorities to the needs of the Navy. Following the CBD, the detailed minutes and recommendations are captured in CIMS by the career counselor or member of the chain of command authorized by the command for documentation.This includes what was discussed and is used to help keep the current and future commands informed of the Sailor's progress and career goals. With full access to the Electronic Service Record (ESR) for each Sailor, the career counselor is able to gain a thorough understanding of the Sailors' experience and performance, resulting in recommendations best tailored to the Sailor and to more precisely tailor a career development path.

CIMS is available to all shore commands with Internet access and on board 150 ships using CIMS Afloat on the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel (NSIPS) server. As the Navy's primary business solution for human resources management, NSIPS is the system and data platform on which CIMS operates. The primary function of CIMS is to assist career counselors and those responsible with tracking, conducting and documenting CDBs. "I can use CIMS to look at some portions of a Sailor's career, and it is helpful for screening Sailors for special programs," said Navy Counselor 1st Class (SW/AW) Rena Cyvas, command career counselor, Afloat Training Group San Diego. "The most helpful on a daily basis is the tracking capability that CIMS offers me and the ability to pull data on my Sailors when they need career advice." The command master chief, chief of the boat, senior enlisted leader and the command career counselor team are critical focal points for career development initiatives within the command. Reports easily compiled allow for

command tracking of CDBs, Family Care Plan, PTS, Projected Rotation Date, and End of Active Obligated Service. "I can support immediate leadership through the ability to pull up both command tracking information and individual personnel information," said Cyvas. "Because it is an up to date source, when I need accurate information I turn to CIMS. The unit tracking allows me to follow up on my Sailors and make sure I don't miss someone." Many tools are available to career counselors to assist with the use, function and support of CIMS. The "5-Tip Series" of user aids cover a variety of helpful information to use CIMS effectively. Additional reference guides, tutorials, "how to", and instructions can all be found at www.npc.navy.mil under NPC Quick Links > Career Info > CIMS.

Patton: Legendary World War II Commander

Thursday, March 15, 2012

AFPAK Blog: On the Ground

Book review Reviewed by CDR Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN Patton: Legendary World War II Commander by Martin Blumenson and Kevin Hymel. Part of the Military Profile Series published by Potomac Books, 22841 Quicksilver Drive, Dulles, Virginia 20166. 2008, 160 pages. Potomac Books publishes a series of concise and short biographies of the great military leaders of the world. These are small books designed to introduce readers to individuals who have reshaped military history. Biographies previously published include Ulysses S. Grant, Genghis Khan, French Field Marshal Foch, Admiral Rickover, and many more. Every year the publisher produces a half dozen of these titles, written by preeminent military historians. In October 2008, the biography of General George Patton was released. This small book also represents one of the final published works of the late Martin Blumenson, who served in World War II Europe in the Third Army Headquarters and became among the most noted scholars of Patton and World War II, until his regrettable passing in 2005. His co-author Kevin Hymel is the Research Director for World War II History and Military Heritage Magazines. Do not let your time in the United States military pass without immersing yourself in the history and heritage of our armed services. Military history is the history of America, and the biography of military leaders serve as a great starting point to understand leadership, strategy, and the mechanics of military innovation. After World War II, Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, the senior German commander who opposed the Allied invasion of France, is reputed to have said, “Patton, he was your best.” He would advance understanding of the use of the tank in rapid maneuver warfare so much that traces of Patton can be found in the armored tank battles of the Arab-Israeli War, Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Born in 1885 to a prominent family, he would struggle academically, yet his determination to excel led him first to the Virginia Military Institute, and then to the United States Military Academy at West Point. At the academy, he had to repeat his freshman year (today, it is likely he would have been dismissed), but his instructors were impressed by his military bearing, understanding of military history and athletic abilities. In 1909, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. In 1916, he would participate in the Punitive Expeditions in Mexico, chasing the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa and his men. This is America’s first use of what today would be called mechanized infantry and it would begin to shape Patton’s thoughts on the future of warfare. Patton thirsted for battle, and had an eccentric belief that he had fought on the fields of battle of the ancient past. This belief may explain his ability to sense the terrain and ground for which he was expected to fight. In World War I, he would be detached from General Pershing and requested to be assigned to America’s first tank unit that was composed of French Renault Tanks. Before the United States entered

Lt. Cmdr. Frey outside the Government Media Information Center in Kabul, Afghanistan.

World War II, he would be assigned to training the thousands entering the military in preparation for what would evolve into a global conflict. Patton demanded bearing, but used this demand for discipline to instill pride in the Army, the unit, and the individual soldier. When the United States Army lacked confidence, and was soundly beaten by German forces in Tunisia, Patton was sent in to restore discipline and morale. He did not neglect supply and he soon garnered a reputation for driving hard against the Axis armored and infantry forces. Patton also demonstrates the need for different generals to assume different roles; while Patton was a brilliant field commander, he was inept in building a coalition, and General Eisenhower frequently had to intervene diplomatically to keep the allies on track in Europe. He also respected the adversary, inspecting the designs of destroyed German Panzer Tanks and sending samples of enemy equipment to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. Patton is not without his faults, and his intolerance for combat stress led him to slap two soldiers in an Army Field Hospital. Despite demands to remove him from command, he was instead reprimanded and ordered to apologize to all present and the entire unit from which the solider came and kept. He would become an integral part of the breakout from Normandy in 1944, and his unit would reach Germany and then onto Czechoslovakia. Critics would find his pushing of soldiers and the need to capture territory before other Allies, mainly the British, troubling. A fictional army would be created around Patton in England, to deceive the Germans, who were focused on him and his command abilities. He died in a car accident near Manheim, Germany months after the end of the war, and was buried in Luxembourg on Christmas Eve, 1945. This short biography then includes other recommended books to continue your exploration of Patton and World War II. Editor’s Note: CDR Aboul-Enein maintains a regular book column in Military District Washington newspapers. He wrote this review while visiting Fort Dix, New Jersey, and walking the grounds of its Infantry Park that contains open displays of artillery and armor.

Editor's note: This is part three of a four-part series. In the March 8 edition of the Waterline Lt. Cmdr. Josh Frey, an NDW AFPAK Hand public affairs officer, wrote on the newfound resurgence of the Afghan media, the variety of media outlets and the ethnic groups they serve, and journalistic credibility in the new forums. Other media outlets, Tolo and Ariana, are largely western funded. Ariana broadcasts about 100 minutes daily of Indian serials, which reach very high viewer levels. Tolo TV has 68% of the ratings, with Arianna in second with 47%. Much of the population that makes up the viewership are the growing youth populations. Both stations receive a majority of their funding from the United States. Both stations are liberal in their programming and promote western values, which is a reflection of their funding sources. One can also add Shamshad television to this category, which is believed to receive funding from Pakistan. Nonetheless, Shamshad is an important means to reach Pashtun audiences throughout Afghanistan, many of whom are part of a tribal network that straddles both sides of the Pakistan border. Thus, Shamshad’s programming with a Pakistan flavor resonates with those audiences. Of note, the President of Shamshad, Fazil Karim, is also a member of the High Peace Council, so the station also provides important messages to its audiences about the reintegration programs of former or reintegrating Taliban and insurgent fighters. The vast permeation of new media outlets within Afghanistan can be a force to counter radicalism or inspire it. As Seib suggests, “The media are no longer just the media. They have a larger popular base than ever before and, as a result, have unprecedented impact on international politics. The media can be tools of conflict and instruments of peace; they can make traditional borders irrelevant and unify peoples scattered across the globe. This phenomenon -the Al Jazeera effect- is reshaping the world.” Right now Afghanistan serves as a prime example of this phenomenon. According a USAID report on Afghanistan’s media landscape, the media sector has averaged 20% growth each of the past five years, which corresponds to about 50 new TV stations and over 100 new radio stations since January 2006. Most of these media outlets are Afghan, with minimal international assistance. “Freedom of the media is one of the best defenses against the Taliban,” said Dominic Medley. “The media is a defense against extremism and has opened people’s minds in areas of Afghanistan that had little to no access to information 10 years ago.” One way to help ensure that media in Afghanistan is utilized to support a healthy democracy is through the development of independent voices free from coercion and able to conduct investigative reporting into issues such as corruption and extremism to prevent and counter its spread. The Afghan media, according to Medley, understand the alternative very clearly. “The media know exactly what the Taliban is about,” said Medley. “Afghan media know because they wouldn’t exist if the Taliban was in power again.” A free press was also one of Thomas Jefferson’s foundations of a healthy democracy, where the media functions as a watchdog to hold its government and society accountable. "The only security of all is in a free press,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in a letter to General Marquis de Lafayette. “The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure."

Facial reconstruction 150 years later The facial reconstruction of two Sailors whose remains were discovered inside the gun turret of the USS Monitor after it was raised from the ocean floor in 2002 are revealed during a ceremony sponsored by the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation. The ceremony is part of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 8 and 9, 1862, when Monitor and CSS Merrimac fought in the first ironclad battle in naval history. Monitor sank off Cape Hatteras, N.C. later that year. While much has been learned about the physical characteristics of the two Sailors, their identities remain a mystery.

U.S. Navy photos by MC2 Gina Morrissette

MONITOR Continued from 1 Sailors who died aboard the ironclad vessel on Dec. 31, 1862, NOAA dedicated a memorial plaque and unveiled facial reconstruction sculptures of two sailors whose skeletal remains were discovered inside the ship's gun turret after it was raised in 2002 off the shore of Cape Hatteras, N.C. "Itisfittingtohavetoday'seventhereatthe NavyMemorial," saidViceAdm.(ret)JohnTotushek,presidentandchiefexecutive officer, United States Navy Memorial Foundation. "It is here that we honor the sacrifices that so many Americans have made in duty to country while on the sea." Combining science and art, researchers hope the reconstructedfaceswillhelpsomeoneidentifytheunknownmenwho went down with the Monitor. "After 10 years, the faces are really the last opportunity we have, unless somebody pops up out of nowhere and says, 'Hey, I am a descendant,' " said guest speaker James Delgado, director oftheNationalOceanicandAtmosphericAdministration'sMaritime Heritage Program, in an earlier interview withThe Associated Press.

Thursday, March 15, 2012

Waterline During the ceremony, Delgado told the audience these two menstandasaremindertothesacrificesservicemembersmake andtheultimatepricetheysometimespayforthefreedomsthat we enjoy. The facial reconstructions were done by experts at Louisiana State University, using the skulls of the two full skeletal remains found in the turret, after other scientific detective work failed to identify them. DNA testing, based on samples from their teeth and leg bones, did not find a match with any living descendants of the ship's crew or their families. While none of the clues found in the turret with their skeletal remainshavebeenabletoconclusivelyidentifythem,thismuch is known: one of them is around the ages of 30-32 and the other isprobablyinbetweentheagesof20-22,explainedguestspeaker Mary Manhein, director of LSU's Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services (FACES) Laboratory. "Our greatest hope is that a descendent or two will come forwardandmaybehavesomeoldfamilyphotographsandbeable to help us identify these men and confirm it through DNA," said Manhein."Thisisaproductofbothartandscience; wehavehad some very good success. Our success rate is really based upon publicity and getting these images out into the public eye. The publicity is what really brings these things to life." If no one steps forward following unveiling, Delgado said he

hopestheremainscanbeburiedatArlingtonNationalCemetery. "It's time for these guys to get out of archival boxes and into a final resting place," he said. "Like all who served and all who do pay the price, that, in and by itself, makes them important and worthy of remembrance and recognition." ForthedirectoroftheNavalHistoryandHeritageCommand, Rear Adm. (ret) Jay A. DeLoach, the dedication ceremony held a personal connection. "In 1960, I visited the Mariners' Museum as a little kid, and later on, when the Monitor was first raised and put into the swimming pool, I was also there visiting," said DeLoach. "This is definitely a personal connection for me as well as a personal connection for the Navy, because today we have brought to life two sailors from the past of the USS Monitor." Designed and built in 118 days, the Monitor made nautical history, fighting in the first battle between two ironclads in the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862.The Monitor's confrontation with the CSSVirginia ended in a draw. The Monitor sank about nine months later in rough seas southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., while it was under tow by the USS Rhode Island. Sixteen of the Monitor's 62 crew members died. The crew of the Rhode Island was able to rescue about 50 survivors. The wreck was discovered in 1973 and designated the first national marine sanctuary in 1975. An expedition about a decade ago retrieved the revolving turret. It is now on display at the USS Monitor Center of the Mariners' Museum in Newport News.

COMMUNITY Continued from 1 tion regarding whether a perceived problem is indeed "real" or not. Instead, the desire is for the average member of the public to let their first responders make that distinction. "'See it, say it' is always a good policy," said Janelle Herring, community planning liaison officer for Naval Support Activity Washington. "So if something doesn't look or feel right, please contact the appropriate agency.They can determine if it is part of the exercise or not." Due to the increase in Force Protection Conditions (FPCONs) which dictate tougher security at perimeter checkpoints, there is a potential for traffic buildups at gates which could spill out onto public roads. While it is thought that this impact should be minimalontheaveragememberofthepublic,thepotentialforminor disruptionisthere,whichmakesinformingthecommunityallthe more important. "We, [the Navy], have an understanding that these exercises help us do better" said Imparato. "To people on the outside, they don't always recognize that; it might be an inconvenience that trafficisbackedup[fromthegate].Ithinkthatit'spositiveforpeople to understand why we're doing this." While the general public has no responsibility to assist or participate in SC/CS, it is still vital to keep lines of communication open while the Navy's first responders' skills are put to the test. With the proper information being made available, the path is open to a successful and useful exercise.
