VCS Shipbuilders Recognized for Safety Efforts Thirteen Virginia-class submarine (VCS) mechanics were recently recognized for their continuous focus on safety. The crew works on VCS ballast tanks and plays a key role in the electrical installations inside the tanks. “I am so proud of this team,” said the crew’s Foreman Rodney Huffman. “The work environment they work in is challenging as far as safety goes. They are constantly climbing in and out of tanks and working in extremely tight spaces. If any of the mechanics inform me that they have an ache, I speak with them on the side and engage them on whether they would like to utilize the preventive care program or not. The preventive care team has unquestionably helped keep my mechanics in shipbuilding shape and alleviating aches by advising stretches pertaining to their area of responsibility before entering and exiting a ballast tank.” The crew has been accident-free for more than three years. “I think the biggest contributor to us remaining safe is that we look out for each other, remain aware of our surroundings and never become complacent,” said Derek Roberts.
Fourteen HII employees were recognized for achievements in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) during the 20th annual Women of Color STEM Conference in Detroit Oct. 15-18. Of the 14 award recipients, six were Newport News Shipbuilding employees. NNS Engineering Manager Leah Colvin received a Special Recognition Award at the conference. Colvin is responsible for overseeing new business opportunities in non-shipbuilding markets in the areas of instrumentation and controls, software development, cyber security, and modeling and simulation. She also chairs Newport News’ diversity advocates team and promotes STEM education for young girls. Kiara Cammack, nuclear engineer, Haidee McKain, nuclear engineer, Chelsey Owens, nuclear engineer, Monica Pringle, electrical engineer, and Christina Wong, electromechanical engineer, were recipients of the 2015 Technology Star Award, which recognizes women of color who have demonstrated excellence in the workplace and are helping to shape technology for the future.

USW Members to Vote on Family Health Center Access The United Steel Workers informed its members that they will have an opportunity to vote Nov. 19 to have access to the Family Health Center being built on Washington Ave. between 45th and 46th Streets. If the vote passes, USW members will be eligible to use the new Family Health Center when its doors open in the first quarter of 2016. QuadMed, the health services provider that will manage and operate the health center, held information sessions for hourly employees Oct. 13 – 20. The meetings were designed to explain the range of services QuadMed will provide at the center and answer employee questions.

Newport News Shipbuilding employees using the health center will pay $15, per person, per visit. The fee will include all medical services provided during the visit including X-ray and lab services, vaccines, and other preventative services. The health center pharmacy, operated by CVS/CarePlus, will offer a 30-day supply of generic medication for $3 and 90 days of generic medication for $6. All health information is protected by a federal law called HIPPA and cannot be shared without an employee’s written permission.
HOLA Donates Supplies to the Samaritan House In September and October, the Hispanic Outreach and leadership Alliance (HOLA) held a paper products drive for the Samaritan House. HOLA was able to collect more than 650 paper products. “Domestic violence and homelessness touch all our communities,” said Lorrie Peckham (E45). “My husband Roger and I saw a need, knew we could do something to help, and reached out. We, as human beings on this earth, need to reach out and help each other. No act of kindness is too small. The shipyard as a whole reaches out to support those in need and strengthen our communities. HOLA saw a need in the community to help Samaritan House with a paper products drive. It may seem a simple thing but it truly helps those victims of domestic violence and the families experiencing homelessness. It helps to strength our communities and ease suffering because all of us are touched by domestic violence and homelessness in our communities.” The Samaritan House operates with 11 emergency shelters in Virginia Beach, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing and rapid re-housing programs, and is the largest non-profit housing provider in the state. The organization also provides temporary emergency housing and

extensive support services to victims of domestic violence and families experiencing homelessness. HOLA would like to thank all those who donated to this cause.

... Demetri Barnes agreed. “We’re continuously evaluating our workspace to identify potential obstacles and hazards,” he said. “We do a walk-through every morning and again at the end of our shift. If we identify anything, we let our supervisor know immediately.” Ed Brown says the team stretches before beginning work. “Stretching has played a major role in our crew’s ability to remain safe because it allows us to be warmed up before we begin moving around and climbing in and out of tanks.”

Have You Participated in Take an Hour for Wellness This Year? All Newport News Shipbuilding employees are eligible to receive a free flu shot and health screening as part of this year’s “Take an Hour for Wellness” (TAH) program. TAH, part of HII’s “BeWell for Life” wellness programs, will begin Tuesday, Sept. 15 and run through the end of November. All results are 100 percent confidential and are only shared with the employee following the screening. Employees Share Their Take an Hour Experience Al Williams, a pipe welder and long-time NNS employee, knows that accidents can happen on the job. “We work as safe as we can and take necessary precautions to avoid an injury,” he said. Williams takes similar precautions when it comes to his health, which is why this year is his eighth consecutive year participating in the Take an Hour program offered to all NNS employees. “It’s important to take advantage of what they’re offering to stay healthy,” said Williams. “Everyone should do it.” Sixty minutes is all it takes for employees to undergo blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar screenings, plus a flu shot – all for free. Following the tests, employees receive a results sheet, which tracks their numbers, and face-to-face time with an Interactive Health staff member who explains what it all means.
For some, like Gail Sawyer, whose job involves refueling the carriers on overhaul, the screenings have proved to be a lifesaver. As she headed to a Take an Hour screening six years ago, she knew she needed to lose weight, but she was surprised to learn that she was borderline diabetic. During a follow-up appointment with her physician, she was told she had to drop the extra weight if she wanted to live to be a grandmother. “I really had to re-evaluate what I was eating and change my sedentary lifestyle,” she said. While keeping a keen eye on her diet, Sawyer looked into the free, on-site exercise programs offered by the shipyard and tried boot camp, Zomba, Tai Chi, body fusion, and she started running. “I began to feel better, almost immediately,” Sawyer said. Since her first Take an Hour screening in 2009, she’s lost 120 pounds, ran her first 5K and missed just 3-4 work days per year due to illness. Perhaps more important, she’s been able to keep up with her four-year old granddaughter without missing a beat. “I am a firm believer in the program. It has the potential to save lives, and there are people out there who need that wake-up call.” Visit nns.huntingtoningalls.com/events/takeanhour for information.

Leveraging Our Differences Will Make a Difference Chris Miner, vice president of In-Service Aircraft Carriers, recently shared his thoughts about the importance of inclusion and diversity. Earlier in my career, I had a friend who had worked at the shipyard for many years. Several years after becoming friends, I learned that he was gay. I also learned that, although he was very open with me and was willing to answer truthfully if asked, he never talked about his personal life at work. I never pressed him to explain but believed he feared being ostracized, not treated equally, or even harassed by fellow employees who didn’t agree with his sexual orientation. I began thinking what my professional life would be like if I was afraid to talk openly about my wife and three daughters, if I never felt comfortable bringing my partner to work functions, and if I had to hide part of who I am every single day at work. That is not an environment I would be proud to work in, and I would probably come to work each day feeling lonely, isolated and excluded. Understanding my friend’s situation helped to change my perspective about how I think of inclusion and diversity in the work-place. It also helped me to realize that we need to create a more inclusive environment at the shipyard, where we embrace and leverage our differences. This is not something that will happen overnight. Culture change takes time. It is, however, something I am personally committed to, and a culture of exclusion is one that I will not tolerate. One thing that stands in our way of being more inclusive is not truly understanding the biases that each of us bring to every situation. Looking back 30 years ago to when I worked on 688-class submarines, I realize now that for a long time I
had a bias against those who weren’t submarine ship-builders. If I had a problem to solve or process to improve, I would immediately go to my fellow submarine workers for help. Now I understand that if I had engaged a group of people outside of my circle, the opportunity to come up with new, different, or even better ideas would have increased. I went to them because they were familiar to me, thought like I did and made me more comfortable. Today, we are faced with a fiscally-constrained environment where there is not sufficient budget to fund all of the country’s defense priorities. To continue getting NNS programs funded, we need all shipbuilders working together on solutions for cost savings ideas, efficiencies and new opportunities. By embracing and respecting our differences, every shipbuilder has the opportunity to work to their highest potential. It is the power of these differences, combined with the willingness to change, including working out of our com-fort zone that can lead to new ideas and innovative solutions. It’s critical that we not only bring a diverse group to the table, but we encourage everyone, including the quietest among us, to share their thoughts and ideas. Each person is unique and brings a different and valuable perspective to our team, and we need to harness those differences rather than pushing people to conform and think like us. I call on every member of our team to seek out those with different perspectives when solving problems or exploring new ways of doing business. We are a very good shipbuilding team that accomplishes great things. The extent we are willing to respect and leverage our differences will determine how quickly we grow from a very good team to a great team. I look forward to traveling that journey with you. Thanks for all you do every day! Visit the K69 Yardnet website to view more “Miner Details.”

40 Years Ago Tilman and Carl Snead, close friends and “adopted grandsons” of Carl Vinson, weld Vinson’s initials into a keel plaque during the keel laying ceremony of USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) Oct. 11, 1975. They were assisted by Newport News Shipbuilding welder James Bannevich and Welding Supervisor James Simmons. Due to illness, Vinson was forced to cancel his appearance at Newport News and sent U.S. Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia, who delivered Vinson’s prepared remarks. CVN 70 was the first naval vessel to be named for a living person. On the same day, NNS also christened the aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).
