NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY, Bahrain — Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Bahrain in collaboration with the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) hosted the Color Run with a Purpose onboard Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain Jan. 15.
More than 400 participants ran two laps around NSA I with volunteers at various stations along the route throwing colored cornstarch. Following the run was a concert at Mario’s Courtyard where information about different awareness campaigns was being distributed.
Organizing an event such as this didn’t happen over-night.

Safe workplaces don’t happen by accident. They happen when safety is a primary concern and motivator for management and staff alike and when active steps are taken to plan a safe work environment. Want to make your workplace as safe as it can be?
Top 10 Workplace Safety Tips:
1. Design a safe work area. Safety should be planned into your work areas from the start. How machines are positioned, where materials are staged, how product flows from one process to the next. Designing the work area with safety as a primary concern will result in a safe, efficient and productive workplace.
2. Maintain a clean work area. The most productive work areas are clean, neat and organized. Not only will you remove many hazards from a work area by keeping it clean, but you will also provide a more productive work environment for your employees.
3. Involve your employees in the safety planning. There is no one on your staff who knows more about the potential dangers on your production floor than the employees themselves. Get their input and follow their suggestions to engineer safety into their work areas instead of relying upon personal protection equipment to safeguard their health.
4. Provide clear work instructions. Make sure your employees know precisely what you expect of them by providing thorough training and clear, written instructions. Although they should be made aware of safety concerns, an effective safety program extends well beyond a list of things not to do. When you document your work processes, make sure that you include basic safety instructions that each worker reads and acknowledges.
5. Focus your safety efforts on the most likely problems. Strained backs from using poor lifting techniques or refusing to use lift assist equipment. Cuts from exposed edges or poorly shielded equipment.
6. Encourage your employees to bring safety deficiencies to management’s attention. Safety is everyone’s concern and your employees should be actively encouraged to bring any type of safety concern to management’s attention. Then it’s your responsibility to act on their concerns and eliminate the safety deficiency.
7. Watch and learn how each employee performs their job. Watch how your employees perform their jobs to see if they’re following procedures, if they’re taking shortcuts that could reduce safety, and even to learn if they’re performing tasks in an improved manner that should be adopted by other operators.
8. Maintain all machinery in good working order. As your machines age and wear, your operators may make modifications of their own to maintain productivity.
9. Avoid unnecessary hazards. Check your workplace frequently with a discerning eye to identify any new equipment or materials that could pose a potential safety hazard.
10. Revisit your safety guidelines every year. Nothing stays the same in your workplace. Your staff changes, your machines age or are replaced with new machines, and your plant layout may even change. Every change means that your previous safety guidelines may not be sufficient anymore and need to be revisited and modified to reflect your changing environment.
NSA BAHRAIN NCIS TMU 3940-4271!

By MC2 John Benson Staff Writer
NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY, Bahrain — It’s something a majority of us take for granted on a daily basis. We show up to work, log into our computers and check email without thinking about what it takes to keep the networks on base running. These “keyboard warriors” seemingly exist in the shadows and work miracles when our passwords expire. This week, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain says “fare-well” to one of the individuals responsible for making our technology work smoothly.
For six years Shahla Messer, director of Information Technology (IT) at NSA Bahrain, has been working to support NSA Bahrain and its tenant commands.
“Our number one priority has always been customer support,” Messer said. “We have a very busy schedule! From the moment we come into work until the time we go home my department is constantly checking emails and working to support
IT equipment.”The accomplishments made by the IT
department wouldn’t be possible without a team effort.
“I take pride in working with so many professionals,” Messer said. “I can honestly say this is one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. I’d like to thank everyone for their support during my time here and from the bottom of my heart I’d like to thank all those who made my career successful.”
Messer will be leaving Bahrain at the end of January and reporting to Washington D.C. to assume the position of IT Project Manager for Ashore Systems.
“Shahla has been a tremendous asset to this command for many years and she will be truly missed,” said Capt. David J. Meron, commanding officer of NSA Bahrain. “She handles many IT issues a day from small requests to handling our largest construc-tion and communications projects around NSA Bahrain. Shahla may be leaving NSA Bahrain, but she will continue to support us from her new position in Washington.”
WEEKLY WARRIOROS2 (SW/AW) Leigh A. Lawson — Petty Officer Lawson is currently serving as a Commander, Task Force FIVE THREE Battle Watch Captain. She is fulfilling a responsibility normally reserved for Senior Enlisted or Officer personnel in an outstanding manner! She provides tactical control of 13 MSC vessels as well as four helicopters and 5 fixed wing logistics aircraft. Her efforts since reporting onboard have resulted in over 400 Replenishment at Sea events, moving $200 BILLION in food, fuel and supplies to 2 Carrier Strike
Groups, 2 Amphibious Readiness Groups and numerous Coalition Warships at the tip of the spear. Her dedication and motivating “can-do” with a smile attitude, keeps morale soaring in a high OPTEMPO environment. Petty Officer Lawson is a SUPERB Sailor doing big things to ensure the C5F customers get their requirements, On Time, On Target and On Demand!

“We decided it would be a good event to get involved in,” said Aerographer’s Mate 3rd Class Gianna Conroy, event volunteer. “Our responsibilities included setting up tables, hanging colored balloons around base and throwing colored cornstarch on runners. It was a lot of fun and if you weren’t here you really missed out!”
In addition to decorating for the event, there were others providing medical assistance.“I was part of the volunteer team providing medical support,” said Hospital Corpsman
2nd Class Charles Cintron, assigned to Naval Branch Health Clinic Bahrain. “My team was standing in different spots along the run ready to provide medical help to anyone if they needed it.”
The color run was a new experience for many people. “I’ve never done something like this!” said Aerographer’s Mate 3rd Class Robert
Brimer, event participant. “Running with large groups of people through huge plumes of powder was so much fun! Also, being able to visit different booths and talk to people about sexual assault prevention, domestic violence prevention and suicide prevention is more effective than any general military training.”
The feedback from event participants seemed unanimous.“People definitely enjoyed the color run,” said Colbert. “We saw individuals, teams,
families and people dressed in crazy attire. They asked questions, learned things and had fun doing it!”
For others the run was a relief from the after-holiday blues.“Many of us here in Bahrain are away from family and friends so these events help
provide us with entertainment plus educate us with the different awareness campaigns,” said Cintron. “The MWR does a great job organizing these events and that’s why I enjoy volunteering with them.”
The color run was the biggest event so far in 2015 and plans may already be in the works for another run later this year.
“We are definitely going to have another color run in the future,” said Wells. “Next time we will hopefully add more colors!”

“I owe everything to my training, Clinkscales said. “As Master-At-Arms we are trained for first response. I wouldn’t have known what to do, especially treat for shock without my training.”
Stone and members of NSA Bahrain leadership accompanied Clinckscales during a ceremony where he was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal.
“The mission of NSA Bahrain and NSF Bahrain is to provide safety and security to service members and their families who are onboard this installation,” said Capt. David J. Meron, commanding officer of NSA Bahrain. “His actions are testament to the training, skills and quick-thinking traits our security members possess.”

Google Launches Virtual USS Constitution Tour ExperienceBy MC3 Victoria Kinney USS Constitution Public Affairs
CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (NNS) — Google Maps pub-lished a complete 360-degree virtual experience of USS Constitution on Tuesday, Jan 20.
Using Street View technology, Google Maps photo-graphed the ship in fall 2014 to create an online 360-degree virtual experience of touring Constitution in preparation for the ship’s scheduled dry dock restoration period, which begins in March 2015.
“The timing was ideal,” said Cmdr. Sean Kearns, Constitution’s 73rd commanding officer. “It enabled Google to photograph the ship pierside in her normal fully-rigged configuration before we down-rig the ship and move her into dry dock for restoration work.”
The 217-year-old warship is scheduled to undergo nearly three-years of restoration work during which time ‘Old Ironsides’ will have her copper siding replaced, along with major restorations to areas of the ship’s hull, interior, and stern.
Constitution joins a growing list of historical land-marks that Google Maps has available for online tours. Already available online are the Taj Mahal, The Louvre Museum, underwater reefs and street level views from around the world.
To date, Google Maps has imagery available in more than 64 countries around the world.
“Adding interior imagery of the USS Constitution to Google Maps was the next step towards providing the most accurate, useful and comprehensive map of the world,” said Deanna Yick, Google Maps Street View program man-ager. “We hope this encourages curious observers to visit this historic ship in person one day.”
Google Maps’ innovative technology offers a unique view of most decks and spaces in the warship, including some spaces typically closed off to visitors, and will allow full virtual access of the landmark during the restoration. The virtual tour allows the public to view and experience the ship as she traditionally looks, fully-rigged at her berth at pier 1 in Charlestown Navy Yard.
“This effort is particularly exciting because not only will it allow the public to go on a virtual tour to areas of the ship that will not be accessible while Old Ironsides is in dry dock, it will also bring this virtual tour experience to mil-lions of people worldwide who might otherwise never get the chance to visit the ship in person,” said Kearns.
USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, actively defended sea lanes against global
threats from 1797 to 1855. Now a featured destination on Boston’s Freedom Trail, Constitution and her crew of U.S. Navy Sailors offer community outreach and education about the ship’s history and the importance of naval sea power to more than 500,000 visitors each year.
