WASHINGTON –The challengespresented by tropical storms, hur-ricanes and other severe weatherscenarios were the focus of a two-week exercise that ended this weekat Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB).

Zihna, a fictitious hurricane,began as a tropical storm on May11, traveled north and made land-fall in the National Capital Region(NCR) as a Category III hurricaneon May 19.

Each year, just prior to the offi-cial start of hurricane season (Junethrough November), various Navycommands, ashore and afloat, inport and underway, participate inan annual hurricane preparednessexercise known as Citadel Gale.

Citadel Gale is specifically de-signed to test and improve the U.S.Navy’s response to the hurricanethreat.

During the exercise, the Navyworks with the U.S. Coast Guard;Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA); American

Red Cross; National Institutes ofHealth and other agencies to pre-pare for the upcoming hurricaneseason.

Locally, Citadel Gale 2013 al-lowed JBAB; its mission partners,their personnel and families toreview and exercise heavy weath-er preparations, emergency andcommunications systems, equip-ment, directives and procedures.

JBAB Commander, Navy Capt.Anthony T. Calandra, said, “Ex-ercises, such as Citadel Gale, en-hance our readiness to prepare,respond and recover from naturaldisasters.”

The training conducted allowsJBAB and its mission partners toensure preparedness to operateunder the most adverse weatherconditions; maintain a level ofreadiness and operations and alsodetermine if there are any areaswhere improvements can be madeto respond and recover from disas-ters.

WASHINGTON - Memorial Dayweekend is the official start of sum-mer, and a time when local beachesand pools are “open for business.”According to the AmericanRedCross,90 percent of families with youngchildren will be in the water at somepoint during the summer months.Half will swim in a location withouta lifeguard.

Here are some tips from theAmerican Red Cross to keep youand your family safe this summeraround the water:

Around the Pool• Parents should actively supervise

their children when they are in thewater—even if lifeguards are present.

• Ensure everyone in the familylearns to swim well.

• Putting water wings on yourchild does not ensure his/her safety.Inexperienced swimmers shouldwear a U.S. Coast Guard-approvedlife jacket while around the water.

• Never leave a young child alonearound the water. Also, childrenshould not supervise other children.An adult should always be present.

• Teach children to always ask per-mission before going near water.

• If you have a pool at home, se-cure it with appropriate barriers.

Many children who drown in homepools were out of sight for less thanfiveminutes and in the care of one orboth parents at the time.

At the Beach, Lake, or River• Swim only in areas designated

for swimming, and that are clearlymarked with buoys and attended bylife guards.

• Be aware of weather conditions,aswell as fast-moving currents beforeentering the water.

• Do not swim near dams ordownstream of hydro electric plants.

• Always swim with a buddy.• Always enter unknown waters

feet first.• Only dive in water that is clear-

ly marked for diving. Diving areasshould be at least nine feet deep andclear of underwater obstructions.

• Avoid swallowing water, to pre-vent water-borne illness.

If someone is in trouble• Keep yourself safe. In most cas-

es, only a trained professional shouldenter the water to perform a rescue.Panicked swimmers can drown theperson attempting to help them.

• Throw anything that will providebuoyancy to the victim. A cooler, in-ner tube or other buoyant object isbest. If there is time, providing some-thing with a line attached to it is best,so you can pull the person to safety.

• Reach out to the person in trou-ble with any object that will extendyour reach. An oar, a tree branch, oreven a towel. Brace yourself, so youdo not get pulled in.

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Morethan 8,000 money-saving ideas havecascaded into the Pentagon fromacross the Air Force this month.

Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen.Larry Spencer launched the AirmenPowered by Innovation ChallengeMay 1, challenging uniformed andcivilian Airmen to find places to savemoney across the service, no matterhow big or small..

“If there are things we can do bet-ter, if there are things we can stopdoing, or if there are ideas (Airmen)have on how we can better manageour money... we want to hear it,”Spencer said.

When Airmen click “submit,”on one of two websites, their ideasfall directly into the hands of Spen-cer’s team of action officers here,who dedicate their time to receivingideas and tasking them out for con-sideration.

“Chaotic, at best, is what it’s likeworking in here, because all theseideas are flowing through consider-ably. It takes me personally, on aver-age, about 10-15 minutes to processeach idea,” Master Sgt. Joel Meyersaid.

Meyer, a security forces Airmanby trade, said this is a unique op-

portunity for today’s Airmen.“It’s an opportunity for Airmen in

the field to provide an idea straightto the top, and not have that filter ofthat staff sergeant on their flight, ormaster sergeant, or (operations) of-ficer,” Meyer said. “They don’t haveto go through any of that ... theycan get (their idea) right to GeneralSpencer.”

Airmen whomay be holding backdue to reservations about confiden-

tiality should think again.“The people who are responsible

for filtering that (submission) andlooking into it deeper -- they have noidea who it is. So don’t be apprehen-sive. Submit it,” Meyer said.

Uniformed and civilian Airmencan submit their ideas on how tosqueeze the most out of every AirForce dollar via the Air Force portal,or EveryDollar..DoDLive.Mil; theopportunity is live until June 1.

WASHINGTON – Energy issaved; costly repairs are avoid-ed; the environment is better;quality of life is improved andvital missions are accom-plished, because of the PublicWorks Department (PWD) atJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB).

The men and women ofJBAB’s PWD, a component ofNaval Facilities EngineeringCommand (NAVFAC) Wash-ington, conduct or overseeprojects and tasks that touchevery person that sets foot onJBAB.

PWD’s work extends wellbeyond JBAB. Because ofPWD; vital national security,homeland defense, home-land security, ceremonialand presidential support andother missions are able to beconducted successfully andefficiently.

The PWD ensures thatroadways, walkways, stair-ways and hallways are pass-able and safe. That debrisand waste is removed andproperly recycled; reused ordisposed of. That directionalsafety and informational signsare erected and maintained.That government vehicles arefueled, charged, repaired andmaintained, to help ensurethey meet environmental andsafety standards and are avail-able to save lives; fight fires;provide law enforcement andsecurity; transport personnelto mission locations andmore.

Efforts by public worksprofessionals can also reducecosts at base facilities. For ex-ample, earlier this year, PWDbegan replacing high inten-sity outdoor light bulbs inJBAB’s parking lots; outside itsbuildings; and along a walkingpath, with more efficient lightemitting diode (LED) bulbs,which will save taxpayers tensof thousands of dollars in en-ergy and maintenance costs,according to NAVFAC Wash-ington spokesperson JamesJohnson.

Taxpayers also benefit fromPWD’s roof replacement workthat prevented costly buildingrepairs that would have oc-curred in four buildings, in-cluding theWhite House Com-munications Agency; JBABChapel; Enterprise Hall andthe Weapons Training Range.

Other recently completedprojects include the paving offour roadways; establishing aconnecting roadway betweenWatson Road and RobbinsRoad on JBAB’s north side,making it easier to reach theChild Development Center;installation of sidewalks along

three roadways, enhancingpedestrian safety; the repavingof the Vehicle Training Range,allowing the resumption oftraining for the region’s emer-gency vehicle drivers and mo-torcycle operators, to ensuresafety and reduce injury anddeath, according to PWD’s Re-quirements Branch Manager,Frank Sansalone.

Military readiness and thequality of life of military, civil-ian and retiree members andtheir families was enhancedwith PWD’s work that resultedin the installation of a synthet-ic sports field at JBAB, helpingto ensure personnel stay fit.

During 2012, PWD re-sponded to 7,179 calls for rou-tine repair service needs and635 emergency repair calls, ac-cording to Kenneth E. Douglasof PWD Customer Service.

For over 170 years, theNavy’s public works officers,Civil Engineer Corps officers,have led 68 Navy and MarineCorps public works depart-ments (PWD), currently withapproximately 10,000 publicworks professionals aroundthe globe, in providing com-prehensive shore installationfacility engineering, acqui-sition, environmental, andtransportation services tomany supported commandsand missions. NAVFAC Wash-ington provides public worksservices to Navy and MarineCorps installations in the Dis-trict of Columbia, Marylandand Northern Virginia.

This essential work usu-ally goes unnoticed, but thebehind-the-scenes work per-formed in providing vital pub-lic works services such as elec-tricity, water, and wastewatermanagement is a central en-abler for a lot of what happenson Navy and Marine Corpsbases worldwide.

NAVFAC’s public worksprofessionals are at the fore-front of executing cutting-edge energy projects for Com-mander, Navy InstallationsCommand to help meet theSecretary of the Navy’s energygoals. Advanced metering, re-newable energy, and residen-tial energy conservation proj-ects are helping to reduce thedemand for energy on and offbase.

“Our public works enter-prise supports the fleet, fight-er and family with the high-est possible shore installationcapability and quality of lifewithin the frameworks of mis-sion effectiveness, safety, en-vironmental stewardship, andresource judiciousness,” saidNAVFAC’s Director of Pub-lic Works Navy Capt. KathrynDonovan.

WASHINGTON - On Oct.29, 2012 Hurricane Sandy hitNew York City with ferocityunequalled by any coastalstorm in modern memory.Forty-three New Yorkers losttheir lives and tens of thou-sands were injured, tempo-rarily dislocated, or entirelydisplaced by the storm?s im-pact.

Knowing the storm wascoming, and activating theappropriate plans helped tosave lives and mitigate dam-age to that city?s populace.That is one reason why theJoint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB) Office of EmergencyManagement participates inannual training and exercisescenarios, including the re-cently concluded hurricaneexercise, known as CitadelGale.

Citadel Gale, a two-weeklong exercise, helps preparethe workforce and enablesthem to work through differ-ent tasks, designed to simu-late actual activities per-formed during severe weath-er, like hurricanes.

The exercise helps toidentify any shortfalls whichmay occur during storms,whether manning or equip-ment; address those issueswith a funding request or awork-around and fix them forthe future.

Having completed the ex-ercise, JBAB?s Office of Emer-gency Management is betterprepared for this year?s hur-ricane season.

To help your family be-come better prepared, visitwww.ready.navy.mil or www.fema.gov.

Joint Base Office ofEmergency Manage-ment gets ready forhurricane Season

toward the NCR, members of JBAB’s IncidentManagement Team (IMT), consisting of rep-resentatives from all JBAB departments andsome of its mission partners, gathered in theinstallation’s Emergency Operations Center(EOC) to work through a number of scenarios,preparing for the approaching storm.

After the fictitious storm slammed intoJBAB and the surrounding area, the IMT guid-ed the response and recovery phases enablingit to resume normal operations at the end ofthe exercise.

Roof damage; a massive tree blocking aroadway; power outages; generator deploy-ments; flooding, water rescue, emergencyshelter locations, fuel and supply needs; de-bris and waste removal; the feeding and hous-ing of emergency essential personnel and theaccountability of military and civilian person-nel and their families were among the topicsof the scenarios, discussions, briefs and drillsconducted during the exercise.

Sometimes forgotten as an important com-ponent in the emergency management effort,but not forgotten by JBAB’s IMT during thisexercise, was the important role that JBAB’sreligious services chaplains and staff mem-bers play for the individual and family welfareof military and civilian personnel affected bythe disaster.

During the second week of the exercise,JBAB Operations Officer, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Mi-chael S. Rickett, reminded members of the

IMT to address the spiritual andmental healthneeds of the emergency workers, all of whomare separated from their families and pre-vented from helping them to recover from thedisaster, as the workers help others.

Safety, security, families are prioritiesCitadel Gale also serves as a reminder

to military and civilian personnel and theirfamilies of the importance of preparing for anemergency and updating their personal infor-mation in NFAAS (Navy Family Accountabilityand Assessment System) or the similar systemused by their service branch.

“The safety and security of our base, itspersonnel and their families is always a con-cern, especially during a disaster,” Calandrasaid.

He continued, “It is a priority to ensure ourpersonnel and their families understand theemergency resources available to them; theimportance of preparing and planning for anemergency and assembling a 72-hour emer-gency kit for use in the event of a disaster.”

At JBAB, the Army and Air Force ExchangeService (AAFES) is a convenient place to ob-tain a list and the contents of a 72-hour emer-gency kit. The list and its contents are alsoavailable on the Internet and off-base.

After a catastrophic event or disaster, allNavy military and civilian personnel deployedto, or working within the affected geographicarea, are required to check-in with their com-mand, either in person or electronically at thefirst available opportunity.

NFAAS was developed by the Navy afterthe major hurricane season of 2005. It servesas the single reporting system for Navy fam-

ily members to inform the Navy of their statusand disaster-related needs after a declaredemergency or catastrophic event.

The NFAAS website (https://www.Navy-Family.navy.mil) allows families to access 19categories, including: medical; missing fam-ily locator; transportation; housing; personalproperty; financial; employment; child care;education; legal services; counseling; mortu-ary and funeral assistance.

Always good neighborsWhile ensuring that JBAB and its mission

partners have the ability to deal with adverseweather conditions and its aftermath; JBABdoes not forget its responsibility as a goodneighbor.

“As partners in the community, we arecommitted to coordinating with local authori-ties and to improve readiness and responsive-ness in the event of an actual natural disaster,”Calandra said.

To ensure that coordination, JBAB main-tains a good working relationship with theDistrict of Columbia’s Fire and EmergencyMedical Services; Metropolitan Police De-partment; and the Homeland Security andEmergency Management Agency, accordingto JBAB emergency management specialist,Darryl Hart.

“This was one of the best emergency ex-ercises we have had. Everyone was fully en-gaged; knowledgeable and inquisitive,” JBABemergency manager Sigmund Evans com-mented.

“A lot of great lessons learned came out ofit. That will help us in future planning and re-sponse efforts,” Evans concluded.

WASHINGTON - “Reading truly is thefoundation of all learning. And learning isthe foundation for a successful and produc-tive life.”

This was the message shared by Dorothy“Doro” Bush Koch at the 29th annual NavalOfficers’ Spouses’ Club (NOSC) of Washing-ton, D.C. Luncheon May 13 at the BollingClub.

The daughter of former President GeorgeH.W. Bush and first lady Barbara Bush, aswell as the younger sister of former Presi-dent George W. Bush, “Doro” is one of thenation’s leading champions of family liter-acy. She is passionate about her mother’svision to end the cycle of generational il-literacy.

“Growing up in our family home, wewere incredibly fortunate,” she reflected.“There were countless story hours settledon the knees of our parents, leisure visits tothe library, and countless hours spent de-vouring books and magazines on our own.”

Doro said her mother knew not all fami-lies shared this invaluable experience.That’s how the Barbara Bush Foundationfor Family Literacy began nearly 25 yearsago. Its mission is to establish reading as avalue in every home in America.

In her mother’s words: “I believe thatif every man, woman and child could read,write and comprehend, overcoming manyof the most important and longstandingchallenges facing our nation would be with-in our reach.”

Doro, along with her other brother, Jeb,serves as the co-chair of the Barbara BushFoundation for Family Literacy. She saidthey’ve invested 50 million dollars in 1,200family literacy programs throughout thecountry.

“Whether their children or ours are tobecome teachers, engineers, computerwhizzes or Navy Seals, they must first

achieve in the classroom,” she emphasized.“The building block for all learning is read-ing. The ability to read well and compre-hend what we read starts from the time weare born. That’s why it’s so important formoms and dads to be able to read to theirbabies and to continue that beautiful ritualevery day as the children begin to read ontheir own – first words, then pages, and fi-nally entire books.”

She went on to point out several daunt-ing statistics:

• 33 million American adults do not havea high school diploma, which limits indi-vidual opportunities and the ability to helptheir children learn.

• An estimated 90 million Americanadults suffer from low literacy skills, findingit difficult to master directions, job applica-tions or a child’s homework.

• More than one million children dropout of school each year.

“Yes, she said, “Illiteracy and low literacyare a national crisis. They narrow the taxbase, costing our nation more than $240billion dollars in lost earnings and expendi-tures for social services each year.”

Doro believes we can break the cycle ofilliteracy. “Just as you are champions forAmerica’s military, I ask you to join the Bar-bara Bush Foundation and become a cham-pion of reading.”

She suggested a number of ways to sup-port families reading together, includingvolunteering or donating books to pro-grams in the community and following theFoundation on Facebook and Twitter.

“There are lots of ways of contributingto our movement,” she said. “As we createan America where education is a civil right– everyone can read whether they are fouror 34.”

In addition to being the co-chair of theBarbara Bush Foundation, Bush-Koch co-founded the Maryland Initiative, which

raises money to support family literacyprograms across the state of Maryland. Sheis the author of the New York Times best-selling book: My Father, My President: APersonal Account of the Life of George H.W.Bush.

Ellen Miller, NOSC charities chairper-son, said she got to know Doro when herhusband, Chip, was stationed aboard USSGeorge H.W. Bush, or USS “Dad” as Doroand her brothers like to call it.

“She is the ship’s sponsor,” And as thesponsor, Doro brought her passion for liter-acy to the ship. She sparked several literacyprograms for Sailors and their families, in-cluding two Celebration of Reading eventsat sea,” Miller said. “She also strengthenedthe partnership between the ship and theUnited Through Reading Program, one ofour charity recipients this year.”

Because of her work the ship’s library,which serves more than 5,000 Sailors, isnamed after her, Miller added.

United Through Reading is the nation’sfirst nonprofit organization to promotethe read-aloud experience for separatedfamilies. It offers deployed military servicemembers the opportunity to be video-re-corded reading storybooks to their childrenfrom their duty stations or before they de-ploy.

In addition to United Through Read-ing, 14 other military-related charities wererecently awarded a total of $28,500 fromNOSC. A total of 14 local Navy dependentshave also received scholarships totaling$28,000.

In addition to NOSC’s fundraising ef-forts, proceeds come from Temptations,the group’s gift boutique. Temptations wasstarted by members in 1985, and is locatedat the Washington Navy Yard, Miller said.

NDW WATERLINE WRITER

WASHINGTON - As many lookforward to the warm weather andevents of spring, one day in par-ticular stands out as a testamentto those who serve in our nation’smilitary: Armed Forces Day. InNaval District Washington (NDW)events are scheduled throughoutthe month to honor those whoserve our nation every day.

“This observance pays specialtribute to past and present mem-bers of the armed forces, demon-strates the unity and common pur-pose of the armed forces in the ful-fillment of our national security re-quirement, and provides a specialoccasion to satisfy public interestin the defense establishment,”said Rene C. Bardoff, deputy as-sistant Secretary of Defense forCommunity and Public Outreach.“This year’s theme is ‘Strong andResilient: Prepared to Meet anyChallenge.’”

The holiday has special mean-ing to NDW, as it was in Wash-ington, D.C., that the holiday wascreated more than 60 years ago.According to the Department ofDefense (DOD), then Secretary ofDefense Louis Johnson announcedthe creation of an Armed ForcesDay Aug. 31, 1949, to replace sep-arate Army, Navy and Air ForceDays. The single-day celebrationstemmed from the unification ofthe Armed Forces under one de-partment, the DOD.

In a speech announcing the for-mation of the day, President HarryS. Truman “praised the work of themilitary services at home and acrossthe seas,” and said, “It is vital to the

security of the nation and to the es-tablishment of a desirable peace.”

In an excerpt from the presi-dential proclamation of Feb. 27,1950, Truman stated, “ArmedForces Day, Saturday, May 20,1950, marks the first combineddemonstration by America’s de-fense team of its progress, underthe National Security Act, towardsthe goal of readiness for any even-tuality. It is the first parade of pre-

paredness by the unified forces ofour land, sea, and air defense.”

The theme of the first ArmedForces Day was “Teamed for De-fense.” It was chosen as a meansof expressing the unification of allthe military forces under a singledepartment of the government. Al-though this was the theme for theday, there were several other pur-poses for holding Armed ForcesDay. It was considered an educa-

tion program for civilians, one inwhich there would be an increasedawareness of the armed forces. Inaddition to honoring and acknowl-edging the military personnel ofthe United States, the holiday wasdesigned to expand public under-standing of what type of job themilitary performs every day, itsrole in civilian life, and to educatethe civilian population it serves toprotect.

The first Armed Forces Daywas celebrated by parades, openhouses, receptions, and air shows.In Washington, D.C., more than10,000 personnel from all branch-es of the military, cadets, and vet-erans marched pass the presidentand his party.

Armed Forces Day is celebratedannually on the third Saturday ofMay. Armed Forces Week beginson the second Saturday and endson the third Sunday of May. Mostcommands throughout the coun-try hold events in the spirit of thefirst Armed Forces Day to honorour service members, and also in-clude the community. NDW is par-ticipating with events at individualinstallations within the region.

Representatives from NavalSupport Facility Dahlgren andother local military installationsjoined with officials from the cityof Fredericksburg as well as Staf-ford, Spotsylvania, King Georgeand Caroline Counties May 4 inFredericksburg, Va., to sign a proc-lamation that represents a formalcommitment of support by the lo-cal community to military servicemembers and families of activeduty, Reserve and National Guardarmed forces personnel. The eventfeatured a performance by the U.S.Navy Ceremonial Guard’s preci-sion drill team.

Joint Base Anacostia Bollingalso honored members of thearmed forces by holding an ArmedForces Weekend May 18 to 19 atBusch Gardens for unaccompa-nied active duty military personnelin pay grades E1 to E6. The eventfeatured a cookout with activitiessuch as kickball, volleyball andsoftball.

WASHINGTON - Naval Fa-cilities Engineering CommandWashington and local girl scoutsteamed up to plant one of fourlarge planters known as “parklets”on board Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling May 17.

The parklets, intended to cre-ate a green oasis in an urban set-ting, are an experimental projectundertaken by NAVFAC Washing-ton Environmental Planning andConservation Division.

“The parklets will provide basepersonnel, residents and visitorsan area to sit, relax and enjoy theoutdoors,” said Kevin Montgom-ery, NAVFAC Washington envi-ronmental planning and conser-vation product line coordinator.“Careful thought has been placednot only in the design and aesthet-ics of the parklets, but in their lo-cation as well. They will be foundin a variety of areas close to youthand child development centers,eateries and other areas needingoutdoor opportunities.”

Two of the four parkletsplanned for the installation are

now complete, with the remainderexpected to be finished over thenext two weeks. Each has a hor-ticultural theme; aromatherapy,pollinators, meadow, and rain-garden. They are mobile, and willbe moved four times during theyear.

The pollinators parklet can cur-rently be found near the library onTinker Street.

Local Girl Scouts helped com-plete the aromatherapy parkletduring the May 17 environmentaloutreach event which took placeat the Exchange and Commissaryparking lot off Chappie JamesBlvd. The Scouts, who ranged inage from five to 11 years, earnedcommunity service patches fortheir efforts.

“It was a great chance for theGirl Scouts to get out and makea difference on the base,” saidLorie Duplantier, NAVFAC Wash-ington natural and cultural re-source manager. “Now every timethe girls walk by the parklet, theycan say ‘I helped plant that.’ Wealso hope they took home a littleknowledge about the plants andwhat all goes into gardening.”

Those who visit the parkletsare encouraged to offer feedback;

for example if they should be con-sidered for other military installa-tions, how often they are visitedand if they are found to be educa-tional. Feedback can be emailed [email protected].
