The 2013 Dr. Robert J.Haislmaier Memorial Awardwas presented to aNaval Sur-face Warfare Center Dahl-gren Division (NSWCDD)engineer for significant con-tributions to the Navy Elec-tromagnetic EnvironmentalEffects (E3) program, theNavy announced Dec. 5.

The award cited MichaelSlocum - the NSWCDDElectromagnetic and Sen-sor Systems Department’sAssessment and EvaluationBranch Chief Engineer - forhis efforts over the past 15years, resulting in improvedFleet readiness and respon-siveness through preven-tion, control and resolutionof electromagnetic interfer-ence issues.

“I am truly honored to

even be considered for sucha prestigious award,” saidSlocum after receiving theaward from Troy Johnson,Technical Advisor for NavyCyber and Intelligence,Surveillance and Recon-naissance Integration. “Itis truly a humbling experi-ence and a highlight of mycareer.”

The award is named aftera well-known and respectedNavy civilian who workedhis entire career on NavyE3 issues and served as theChief of Naval Operations’chief spokesman on E3 is-sues throughout the 1980s.

The citation credited Slo-cum for anticipating new E3technologies and develop-ing resources to effectivelyintegrate them for the ben-efit of the U.S. Navy.

Slocum’s efforts ensuredthat Navy shipboard sys-tems will safely and suc-cessfully accomplish theirmissions in the complex

electromagnetic environ-ment of today’s fleet.

“Mike is a visionary - heanticipated the need fornew E3 technologies anddeveloped the resources toeffectively integrate themfor the benefit of the U.S.Navy,” said Vice Adm. Ken-

dall Card, the Navy’s DeputyChief of Naval Operationsfor Information Dominancein the citation. “He has beena tireless advocate for theU.S. Navy E3 Program andreached out to other sup-porting organizations to es-tablish collaborative efforts

to maximize the benefit ofavailable resources.”

Currently, Slocum isleading an effort to use re-verberation chamber tech-niques and technology todevelop and execute riskmitigation tests and analy-ses to ensure that complexweapons and control sys-tems are capable of operat-ing as required in their elec-tromagnetic environment.

“He is recognizedthroughout both the DoDand international E3 com-munities as one of the mostknowledgeable technicalexperts in the field of E3 andEMC (electromagnetic com-patibility) test and evalua-tion techniques,” said Cardin the citation. “The U.S.Navy is better prepared tofight today because of MikeSlocum. His consistentand superior performancemakes Mike a well deserv-ing recipient of this distin-guished award.”

The UnitedStates Naval Academy’s 2014 SummerSTEM Program is designed to encour-age 8th through 11th graders to pursuea course of study in STEM-related sub-jects throughout high school, collegeand beyond.

The aim is to integrate STEM-fo-cused concepts across the curriculumand pave the way for students to suc-ceed academically in mathematics andscience and help put them on a pathtowards successful STEM careers. Aneffective and practical way to stimulatestudent interest in STEM is to showhow mathematics and science are ap-plied to create exciting technologies.

The 2014 STEM program will show-case the latest in technological advanc-es in a wide variety of science and en-gineering topics to include energy andlight, infrastructure, transportation,cybersecurity, environmental chal-lenges, flight and fluids, automation,simulation and modeling, biometricsand robotics.

Students are able to participate inproject-based modules using a hands-on, real-world approach to solving de-sign and analysis problems in the Na-val Academy’s world-class laboratoryfacilities. This unique learning envi-ronment promotes engineering “hab-

its of mind” such as systems thinking,optimization, innovation, creativity,and teamwork. It exposes students to aproblem-based environment, outsidethe traditional classroom.

Our 2014 Summer STEM Programwill be a great start to a student’s ca-reer in science and engineering. Appli-cations open Jan. 6, 2014 at www.usna.edu/admissions/stem. 2014 sessiondates are June 2-7 for rising 8th and9th graders, June 9-14 for rising 10thgraders, and June 16-20 for rising 11thgraders.

Selection is based on student ac-complishments inside and outside the

classroom. All applicants will be noti-fied of their status by May 1, 2014.

The tuition to attend a session is$350. Scholarships are available basedon financial need. Each student will beresponsible for arranging transporta-tion to and from the Naval Academy.Commercial air travelers should ar-rive at Baltimore-Washington Inter-national airport (BWI) between 9 a.m.and 3:30 p.m. on Day 1 of the program,and depart no earlier than 3 p.m. onthe last day of the program.

in themilitary.“I do consider it to be a call-

ing,” Hoyle said. “It is some-thing that’s near and dear tomy heart. Sexual assaults haveaffected pretty much everywoman who is close to me inmy life. It’s my way of givingback to them and people whohaveexperienced things similarto them.”

Respectful consent, Hoylesaid, protects not only people,but also the joys of romanticrelationships and all that theyimply. “Sex should be some-thing that is enjoyed by bothparties,” she said. “I don’t thinkanyone shouldhave the right totake that enjoyment away from

someone else. That’s impor-tant tome.”

All Navy personnel, Sailorsand civilian employees alike,have a responsibility to helpprevent sexual assaults. WhileHoyle emphasized the impor-tance of being a good listenerand looking out for shipmatesand coworkers, she also cau-tioned that there is no surefireway for concerned bystandersto determine whether or notsomeone has been sexually as-saulted.

“For a lot of victims thatI’ve seen, they can seem unaf-fected,” she said. “It’s hard toknow the signs because peoplehave so many different reac-tions. The most you can do isto be the type of person that ifsomeone around you is goingthrough something, they feelcomfortable coming to you. It’s

important to just be open. Forvictims of sexual assault, thereis no wrong or right reaction.Your feelings belong to you.”

For victims of sexual assaultwho are considering their op-tions, Hoyle offered some ex-pert advice. “Know the peoplewho can help you: The victimadvocate, the [Sexual AssaultResponseCoordinator], anyoneinmedical or the chaplain,” shesaid. “Victims won’t be able tofile a report with the chaplain,but he or she will be able to getthe victim tous,where they canfile a restricted or unrestrictedreport. Go to the people whocan maintain your confidenti-ality. that’s the most importantthing.”

Victimsof sexualassault facechallenges as they seek a returntonormalcy in their lives, apro-cess that can feel overwhelming

if undertaken alone. “If there issomething eating away at you,something youneed to get it offyourchest, thinkaboutcontact-ing someoneandpossiblyfilinga restricted report. so that youdon’t have to do anything thatyou aren’t ready for.”

When in doubt, contact theSAPR 24/7 Watch Bill at (540)424-0660 to get clarification onyour options, resources, or tofile a restricted or unrestrictedreport. Counseling resourcesare also available upon request.You may also reach Hoyle onthe duty cell phone at (540)376-8858 or the Sexual AssaultResponse Coordinator at (301)580-8212.

Remember, all calls to theWatch Bill, the Victim Advoca-cy Specialist, chaplains, health-care provider and the SARC arekept confidential.
