Naval Support Activity Washington andits six fence lines around the region have asecret weapon in the fight against crime andterrorism. Armed with keen senses of per-ception, these unassuming crime-fightersplay a critical role in the defense of the in-stallations and everything on them. They arethe installation personnel.

The “See Something, Say Something”campaign aims to make everyone aware oftheir role in keeping the community safe.That extends to the NSAW installations,where personnel play a pivotal role in aid-ing security forces.

“‘See Something, Say Something’ cameout after 9/11 and it is basically a way fora citizens’ police force to help the normalpolice and federal agencies identify whenthings seem out of the ordinary,” said JustinPetrick, NSAW installation emergency man-ager. “We have as many officers as we canhave working the gates and patrolling, butwe need personnel inside our fence lines tohelp and be part of the community policing.”

Petrick explained that NSAW’s fencelines fall inside one of the busiest metropoli-tan areas in the world. The National CapitalRegion itself can be a big target, said Petrick,adding that the onus is on those in the re-gion to keep it safe.

“So this program affects the Navy Yard inthat we live in a closed society at the NavyYard and around NSAW,” said Petrick. “Wehave anywhere from 12,000 to 18,000 peoplehere a day, and there’s always the chance thatsomebody slips in, so it’s a good opportunityfor personnel to make their presence known.”

Petrick said that simply being aware ofone’s surroundings is an important tool.When personnel notice something out ofthe ordinary – such as a suspicious or unat-tended package, visitors taking pictures ofsecure facilities, or asking questions aboutthe specifics of day-to-operations or secu-rity at the installation – they should report itin the interest of safety.

“If you’re on the Navy Yard or any of theNSAW installations it is important to call ourdispatch at 433-3333, that is our emergencyline, and report to them what they’ve seenand all of the pertinent information that

goes along with it,” said Petrick. “And again,it’s important for everyone to know thatnumber; just like out in town you would dial911 and make the report, inside our fencelines you dial 433-3333.”

When making a report, Petrick said to in-clude as much information as possible. In-clude a detailed description of the person orobject in question, the time and location ofthe suspicious activity, and any other infor-mation deemed pertinent. Petrick stressedthat there is no such thing as too much in-formation when reporting a potential threat.

In addition to suspicious packages andpeople, certain activities that are not suspi-

cious outside the NCR should be reportedwithin the Washington D.C. city limits. Anexample of this is drone or unmanned aer-ial vehicle piloting. A recreational hobbythat has seen a surge in popularity in re-cent years, it is illegal to take part in withinWashington D.C.

“All of the military installations in theNCR have been asked to bring our people’sattention to drones, light aircraft, and whatthey call unmanned aerial vehicles,” saidPetrick. “They are illegal in the NationalCapital Region. The NCR has a 15-mile cir-cumference around Reagan National Air-port that is a ‘no drone zone.’ D.C. is en-

compassed in that entire area. It is impor-tant that people know this for two reasons– we want to make sure that the bad guysaren’t getting here in that way, and becausewe have personnel who are plane-and-or-drone enthusiasts who need to know thisis a no fly zone. So if you’re coming fromsomewhere else and you just got stationedhere and you don’t the rules, then you canget into a lot of trouble.”

Regardless of the scenario, Petrick remindspersonnel to take their security and that oftheir installation seriously. If it seems out ofthe ordinary, report it by dialing 433-3333 onthe installation or 911 when out in town.

Something as seemingly innocuous as a backpack can become suspicious when left unattended. NSAW person-nel are urged to act as the first line of defense against crime and terrorism by reporting suspicious activity to au-thorities at 433-3333 when on base and 911 when out in town.

Naval Support Activity Wash-ington plays host to a number oftenant commands that serve theNavy and nation as a whole. TheWashington Navy Yard alone ishome to more than 100 tenantcommands ranging fromNaval SeaSystems Command to Command-er, Navy Installations Command.But with so many commands onone installation, getting pertinentinformation out or having issuesaddressed can be difficult.

Or it would be were it not for thetenant executive council. The TECis a quarterly meeting between theNSAW commanding officer, keystaff members, and tenant com-mand representatives to ensure allparties are aware of important andupcoming issues affecting them.Additionally, it acts as a forum todiscuss any tenant-specific issuesaffecting them or the installation.

“A lot of it is raising awarenesson security issues, emergencymanagement, parking, and otherissues on the base,” said Lt. Cmdr.John Liddle, NSAW executive of-ficer. “Anything that makes usmore efficient in providing sup-port to the tenants and allowingthem to execute their missions,get people on the base at the startof the day and out at the end of theday, is good. The information we

share through the tenant execu-tive council helps us to be moreefficient because there is greaterawareness of the policies and re-quirements we have to meet.”

Liddle explained that the moretenants that are involved in theTEC, the better all parties can beinformed of issues and changes.

“We are doing our best to im-prove our communications byway of being more proactive,” saidLiddle. “So we’re pushing a lot ofinformation via email and throughFacebook and The Waterline. Wewant folks to definitely make useof those resources, because that’showwe’re going to keep everybodyinformed between the councils,and hopefully that allows us to seta dialogue where we’re creating acontinuous improvement.”

Issues discussed at the last TECincluded raising awareness on se-curity issues, emergency manage-ment, and hurricane season pre-paredness. One of the biggest topicswas parking on the Navy Yard. Ten-ant participation resulted in a spe-cial parking committee comprisedof all the NSAW Washington NavyYard tenants to help address trafficvolume and fewer parking spaces.

“We made sure the tenants un-derstood all of the work we’ve beendoing to improve parking as muchas we can and create a smoothtraffic flow now that NAVSEA isback on the yard, and all the workwe’ve been doing with access con-

trol with all the requirements thatare levied upon us with the forceprotection condition bravo at thegates,” said Liddle. “It’s importantthat the tenants know what the

requirements are to help us keepthe base safe and process peoplethrough in a timely fashion.”

Liddle added that the next TECwill likely include discussions on

the new Washington Navy YardL’Enfant Plaza shuttle, prepara-tions for the Display Ship Barry’sdeparture, and continued parkinginitiatives on the yard.

Starting in June 2015, NavyGateways Inns & Suites lodgingreservations and Department ofDefense lodging services will beavailable for DoD travelers on offi-cial temporary duty travel to bookdirectly through the Defense Trav-el System.

DoD travel policy requires mil-itary members TDY to a govern-ment installation to stay in govern-ment lodging facilities when avail-able and directed in their orders/authorization.

DTS is being modified to allowNavy, Air Force and Army militaryand government civilian travelersto book DoD government lodging.Travelers can still make their lodg-ing reservations through www.dodlodging.net or by calling 1-877-NAVY- BED, but with lodging ac-commodations available through

DTS, travelers on official govern-ment business will experience aone-stop shop whenmaking travelarrangements - and visibility intoall DoD lodging resources.

DoD Lodging properties book-able through DTS meet strict qual-ity and safety and security require-ments, and offer many traveleramenities and conveniences.

“Integrating the ability to bookgovernment/DoD lodging throughDTS is an added convenience for allour official government travelers asit provides a single point of accessfor reservations, incorporates lodg-ing information into travel docu-ments (authorization/voucher),and automatically secures a non-availability confirmation numberas required by policy when gov-ernment lodging is directed butnot available,” said Tamara Davis,Navy Installations Command, NavyLodging program director.

NGIS offers more than 24,000guest rooms at military installa-

tions worldwide and is consideredPriority-One lodging for all TDYtravelers, offering professionallymanaged quality lodging and ser-vices while helping guests meetfiscal and mission goals.

NGIS delivers comfortable ac-commodations with cost-savingroom rates to all active duty, re-tirees, reservists, DoD civiliansand sponsored guests. Travelersin a leisure status are also accom-modated when space is available.In-room amenities include free In-ternet service, free premium cableTV, coffee, newspapers, refrigera-tor, microwave and housekeeping.Amenities also include guest laun-dry and business center.

From Chief of NavalPersonnel Public Affairs

A major rollout of new person-nel initiatives that provide greaterchoice, flexibility and transparen-cy in everything from career path,promotions and advancements, toGMT and even body compositionassessment (BCA) was announcedby Secretary of the Navy Ray Ma-bus on May 13.

As these initiatives move for-ward, the Office of the Chief ofNaval Personnel has responsibil-ity for fleet communication andimplementation.

Vice Adm. Bill Moran, CNP, hadthe opportunity to discuss theseinitiatives with the Fleet last week,and answered Sailors’ questionsabout the changes.

Here are the top five questionsyou’re asking in all hands calls andon social media:

1. Why are we making all thesechanges to the Navy’s personnelsystem?

“We’ve got a great Navy. Sailorstoday are high quality. Recruitingis successful and the quality of kidswe’re bringing in today iswonderful.

The economy is always our big-gest competitor for attracting goodpeople, and keeping good people,so we want to put things in placetoday, get authority on the shelfthat allows us to deal with anychanges in the economic situationwhen the time comes.”

2. Are we really getting rid ofmandatory Navy GMT?

“We are coming up with betterideas and better training over time... we are giving this back to CO’sto determine when they think theircrew, their squadron, their unit, isin need of that kind of training.”

3. What do the Navy Fitnesschanges mean for Sailors?

“The PFA as we institute it to-

day is really not measuring healthor encouraging better health, itis simply a test. We’re partneringwith BUMED to figure out whatdefines better health and then usethe standards we have to get morepeople to take the test ... reallygiving them more latitude to paymost attention to doing the rightthings to be healthier.”

4. Why is CAP changing to theMeritorious Advancement Pro-gram?

“Nobody knows their Sailorsbetter than our CO’s in the fleet,the commandmaster chief and thechief’s mess. We want to give themmore opportunity to recognize thebest of the best inside their unitsby expanding the opportunity tomeritoriously advance Sailors.We’ve also heard from multipleunits and CO’s around the Fleetthat all of our great Sailors aren’tonly at sea, we have some greatSailors ashore as well.”

5. How are you going to providegreater career path flexibility?

“I think we’re trying to findmore than one path to milestoneachievement and success for peo-ple who are talented. Today it’sdefined as the golden career pathbecause it’s pretty rigid. You don’thave opportunities to try some-thing different or to maybe get offtrack for whatever reason, we wantto be able to give people off rampsthat have a great deal of talent andare very skilled and want to comeback and serve.”

Didn’t see your question aboutthese initiatives on the list? Send itto [email protected] or tweetit to @usnpeople, and the Office ofthe Chief of Naval Personnel willwork to get you an answer.

Water

By Katherine H. CrawfordOffice of Naval ResearchPublic Affairs

Earlier this month, scientistssponsored by the Office of NavalResearch performed experimentsto better understand the motions,forces and pressures generated bywaves on boats with high-speedplaning hulls.

Planing hulls are like those usedon a speedboat - they’re designedto produce lift and allow the water-craft to glide on top of the water,skimming more quickly over itssurface. At higher speeds, wavesbecome a problem. The higherthe crests of the waves, the morethe boat will rise to the top of thewave and then fall back down tothe wave’s trough with great force.This is known as “wave slam.”

“When a hull is going at speedand it hits a wave, it’s like hittinga wall - it’s a violent collision, andthe forces are very large,” saidDr. Bob Brizzolara, a programofficer with ONR’s Sea Warfareand Weapons Department. “Thiscauses injuries to Sailors - com-monly back and leg injuries - andalso can degrade the structure ofthe vessel.”

This research was motivatedby a series of workshops ONR pro-gram officers held with personnelfrom the Navy small combatantcraft commands about high-pri-ority challenges that ONR couldhelp with. One identified challengewas the need to carry greater loadswhile maintaining their speed ca-pabilities. To do this, some struc-tural weight would need to beshed. Since the hull is the heaviestpart of a vessel, Brizzolara and his

team began there, investigatingways to save weight.

“To deal with the effects of waveslams, the Navy must have strongboats that are forced to reducespeed in higher seas,” said Dr. Car-olyn Judge, an associate professorin the U.S. Naval Academy’s NavalArchitecture and Ocean Engineer-ing Department, as well as a cur-rent Young Investigator Programrecipient working with Brizzolaraon this research. “Mitigating theproblem of wave slams will al-low Navy boats to travel faster inhigher seas states as well as allowfor lighter boat structural designs.”

Working with Naval Surface

Warfare Center Carderock Division,USNA and the University of Iowa,ONR is considering ways to reducehull weight while maintaining struc-tural adequacy. For unmanned craft,itmight be possible to reduceweighteven further, allowing additionalpayload to be carried.

“We’re working to understandthe pressures on the hull that aredue to the wave slamming, sinceright now, they are not well un-derstood,” Brizzolara said. “We’dlike to be able to save weight in thestructure so we can carry more fueland payload, but we don’t under-stand those pressures well enoughto be able to start taking weight out

of the structures.”The team is executing the re-

search in two parts: experimen-tally with scale models and usingcomputer simulations. The scalemodels are tested in the large towtank at NSWC Carderock.

Computer simulations for plan-ing hulls are being developed bythe University of Iowa, a challeng-ing problem due to the complexityof planing hull physics. The modelresults will be used to develop com-puter simulations that are more re-alistic and accurate. This will vastlyincrease the numbers of tests thatcan be run since the computer sim-ulations are much less expensivethan experimental testing.

ONR provides the science and

technology necessary to maintaintheNavy andMarineCorps’ techno-logical advantage. Through its affili-ates, ONR is a leader in science andtechnology with engagement in 50states, 55 countries, 634 institutionsof higher learning and nonprofitinstitutions, and more than 960 in-dustry partners. ONR, through itscommands, includingheadquarters,ONRGlobal and the Naval ResearchLaboratory in Washington, D.C.,employs more than 3,800 people,comprising uniformed, civilian andcontract personnel.

Small orbital debris objects can threaten vital space-based assets. The Navy’s patented compact debris detec-tion device can detect debris in near real-time and provideessential trajectory data for future use.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Geospace Scienceand Technology Branch, received U.S. patent (#8976245),March 10, for the Optical Orbital Debris Spotter - a com-pact, low power, low cost, local space debris detection con-cept that can be integrated into larger satellite designs, orflown independently on-board nano-satellite platforms.

Man-made debris orbiting the Earth continues to in-crease at an alarming rate - with objects smaller than onecentimeter exceeding 100 million. The effects of collisionsoccurring at orbital velocities approaching speeds of sev-eral kilometers per second can range from minor to cata-strophic. In Low Earth Orbit, where many space-based as-sets reside, small debris objects are of concern not only dueto their abundance, but because they are often difficult totrack or even detect on a routine basis.

The fundamental concept for the orbital debris detectionsensor is to create a continuous light sheet by using a col-limated light source, such as a low power laser, and a conicmirror. The key idea of this concept is to form a perma-nently illuminated light sheet rather than a scanning beam.This way, all particles intersecting the ‘sheet’ will scatter thelight from the source, independent of the time of intersec-tion with the plane of the light sheet.

“When the flight path of an orbital debris object inter-sects the light sheet, the object will scatter the light, anda portion of that scattered light can be detected by a wide

angle camera,” said Dr. Christoph Englert, research physi-cist at NRL. “The knowledge of the light sheet geometry andthe angles of the scattering event with respect to the cam-era, derived from the signal location on the sensor, allow thedetermination of the intersection point, and possibly evensize, and shape information about the debris particle.”

Many debris studies are performed using damaged satel-lite surfaces that are brought back to the Earth after monthsor years in orbit. This newly patented concept can provide,at a minimum, a similar or even improved data set in closeto real-time without the necessity of returning satellitesback to Earth. Small, stand-alone sensor systems, such asthe Optical Orbital Debris Spotter, could also be deployedwithin a debris cloud to provide in-situ measurements ofdebris density, distribution and evolution.

“Using a dedicated nano-satellite, or CubeSat, the sys-tem could also be used for gathering of more comprehen-sive debris field data,” Englert said. “Losing the satellite atsome point during the mission by a fatal collision could beconsidered a justifiable risk in comparison to the odds ofgetting unprecedented data sets for debris field character-ization and modeling.”

The sensor concept, weighing approximately two kilo-grams and measuring approximately 10cm x 10cm x 20cm,depending on specific implementation, could gather valu-able input for modeling and prediction software that isstarved for information on small debris pieces. These datasets could then be incorporated into global space trackingtools such as the Space Surveillance Network, NASA’s Or-bital Debris Engineering Model, and the European SpaceAgency’s Optical Ground Station.

From NAVSEA public affairs

In anticipation of the Gooding Center closing for up to ayear of planned renovations, NAVSEA opened its cafeteriato the rest of the Navy Yard workforce June 1.

Navy Yard employees with common access cards, con-tractors with access to the base and some non-Navy basevisitors are welcome to use the cafeteria on the first floor ofBuilding 197 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Though the base has not yet determined exactly whenthe Gooding Center will close, NAVSEA leadership decidedto open the cafeteria now so that the vendor would havetime to plan for the potential increase in volume.

“We’ve worked closely with the vendor to make surethey understand they’ll be seeing quite a few new lunchcustomers,” said Jen Bennett of NAVSEA’s chief of staff’soffice. “They’ve assured us that they will be able to accom-modate the increase, though it may take some time for themto make changes if they need to hire new staff or changetheir processes to keep up with demand.”

Another reason the command is opening the cafeteriaearly is to allow non-NAVSEA employees time to have theircommon access cards coded, which will be required forthem to access the building.

“CAC holders can have their cards hard-coded to allowaccess to the building between 11 and 2,” said Bill Ashton,NAVSEA’s director of security.

The cards can be coded by reporting to the NAVSEAvisitor center, which is located directly inside the river-sideentrance of Building 197. The process should take approxi-mately 10-15 minutes, though employees should be awarethat wait times can be longer early in the morning.

Once their cards are coded, those Navy Yard employeescan enter the building from the Isaac Hull entrance on thewest side of the building. From there, they can walk straightto the cafeteria and dine-in or carry their lunches back totheir workspaces.

Other non-Navy personnel who have access to the base,such as contractors with RAPIDGate or other similar formsof identification can also access the cafeteria by using theIsaac Hull entrance and checking in with the security guard.Those employees will sign in and exchange their ID for abadge that clearly identifies them as having access to thecafeteria only.

“Visitors with a form of state or federal ID will follow thesame procedures,” explained Ashton.

Foreign nationals, even those who work on the NavyYard, will require an escort to access the building unlessthey are NAVSEA employees. Foreign nationals must alsoreceive prior approval from NAVSEA security, which can bearranged by their designated escort.

“The cafeteria will only be open to those people whohave already been cleared to be on the base,” said Ashton.“So from a security standpoint, we’re comfortable with theaccess procedures we’ve designed.”

NAVSEA or Navy Yard employees concerned about linesor delays should also keep in mind that, even with the clos-ing of the Gooding Center, there are still several food op-tions available on and near the base. William III has twolocations on the yard, as does Dunkin’ Donuts. The basewill also increase the number of food trucks allowed on thebase in the near future.

The base is also surrounded by several new restaurants,as well as a new Harris Teeter, which are only a short dis-tance down the River Walk. That walk should be shortenedin July when the new pedestrian access gate opens alongIsaac Hull Ave. on the north side of Building 197.

But for those employees who don’t wish to leave thebuilding, Bennett assures them that the facilities team willkeep a close eye on the cafeteria to make sure they’re keep-ing up with the demand.

“At first we probably will see some longer lines downthere. But we’re confident it shouldn’t be anything beyondwhat they can easily handle. We’ll continuously monitor thesituation and will make whatever changes are necessary toguarantee everyone is able to get their lunch without toomuch of a delay,” said Bennett.

Because of the building’s unique security requirements,Ashton reminds employees to always remain aware thatvisitors to the cafeteria may not have the clearance levelrequired for access to the information frequently found ordiscussed in the building.

“Just like dining outside the building, employees shouldalways be aware of what information they keep open ontheir desks or discuss in public, particularly in or aroundthe cafeteria,” said Ashton. “Operational security is everyemployee’s responsibility.”

MD, DE, & DC Elks State Association CampBarrett Junior Warriors program

In 1946, the Elks declared, “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protec-tive Order of Elks will never forget them.” and the Elks have served the veterans since thatdate. The Maryland, Delaware, and D.C. Elks State Association has determined that thechildren of those veterans will be provided for as well. By establishing the Junior Warriorprogram the Elks will provide a week of camp to children of our active duty servicemen,National Guard and wounded warriors. These children will be recommended to the Elksby the military for the appropriate weeks. These special Junior Warrior campers will havetheir $125 fee paid for by the caring donations of the Elk members and those willing tosupport this program.

This week at camp will be able to provide a time of relief and enjoyment for these chil-dren. Most of these children have to face unique situations in an unfamiliar environment.They have the constant fear of loss or injury to their parent during deployment along withthe constant reminder that they are not there to tuck them in at night or kiss the scrappedknees and watch their school activities. The Elks hope this week at camp will help easesome of the stress from their young lives. For children living in Fisher houses and havingparents in Wounded Warrior units, these fears have come to pass. They have now had tolearn to adapt to a life now focused at the hospital and/or area in which their parent isrecovering in. Many of our young Junior Warriors have had to leave their local schools,friends and neighborhoods so they can be closer to their parent. None are a happy envi-ronment for a child during a summer. As Elks, we are trying to give the gift of “being a kid”for at least a week to our Junior Warriors, as well as letting them know that we respect andacknowledge the sacrifices their family has made to protect our country.

Camp dates are Boys: June 21, June 28, and July 5; Girls: July 12, July 19, July 26For more information or to register, please contact Junior Warrior chairman Danniele
