high-yield explosive (CBRNE) re-sponse skills. “Some of the [events]that we did, like carrying the StokesBasket [stretchers], we actually dothat in our jobs,” said Caldwell. “Ina real-life scenario, we would haveMarines carrying those baskets. Ourextraction team. they actually dothat, so we can get a little trainingvalue out of it, too.”
The Marines put together a par-ticularly interesting spin on thatstandby of office picnic events, thedizzy izzy. After twenty fast spinsaround a bat, staggering competi-tors rushed across a field wherethey assembled or disassembledan M-16 service rifle. As if being toodizzy to stand were not enough, thecompeting Marines were treated toa barrage of “advice” from fellowMarines about how best to carryout that task; some of the advicewas correct, some was deliberatelymisleading.
Of course, the Marines of CBIRFare already well-versed in CBRNEand Marine skills, but the competi-tive nature of the Marines made thefield meet an ideal forum for themto execute each skill a little faster,with a little more intensity.
That desire to constantly im-prove manifested itself in manyways, not the least of which is theunique ways Marines find to moti-vate their comrades. “One of thosethings about the Marine Corps isthat we’re so competitive,” saidCaldwell. “We make it fun. this isa great time for the Marines to get
together and, without worryingabout work, just have a good time.So you’ll hear a little trash talking;you’ll see somebody motivating [a
competitor]. But at the end of theday, we’re all going to get together,pat each other on the back, and gohome.”
At the end of the day, the sur-prise winner of the field meet wasannounced. Headquarters and Ser-vice Company bested IRFs Alpha
and Bravo for the prize: a few daysliberty and bragging rights.
Col. Peter Ahern, command-ing officer of CBIRF, ended thefield meet by offering the Marinesa preview of what promises to be avery busy year for the unit. He alsopraised the Marines for their dedi-cation and professionalism. “I’mproud of what you do each and ev-ery day,” Ahern told the Marines.“Keep it up.”

those words to heart. Kayes andseveral other Sailors assigned toIndian Head decided to take a pagefrom Knight’s book and volunteerat least once a month for Meals onWheels.
“We met Chief Master SergeantLewis Knight at the Veterans daymemorial at Indian Head where hewas the guest speaker,” said Kayes.“In conversation he mentioned thathe was involved in a program thatalways needs volunteers and he gotus started.”
Kayes credits his Sailors-Bu-chanan, along with Culinary Spe-cialist 1st Class Corey Mills andCulinary Specialist 3rd Class Bran-don Miller-for doing the bulk of thework. “They’re the ones who domost of it,” said Kayes. “They makeit happen.”
Kayes added that Master at Arms1st Class Sarah Wood and Yeoman2nd Class David Parker have alsopitched in on occasion, as theirwork schedules allow.
“We meet a delivery person atthe senior center in Indian Head tosign for the meals at 0945 and areon the road by 10 a.m.,” said Kayes.“The most difficult part is remem-bering where everyone lives.”
The experience of getting outin local neighborhoods keeps theparticipating Sailors on their toes.Buchanan and Kayes laughed as
they recall a feisty Chihuahua thatchased one Sailor, who shall remainnameless, off of an elderly woman’sporch.
Another encounter with a muchlarger canine was less humorous.
“I got bit by a pit bull,” said Bu-chanan, who managed to smileas he recalled a minor bite on thehand he got from a neighborhooddog during a delivery.
But getting lost and dealing with
Fido is not the most challengingpart of the work. While many mealrecipients appear to enjoy a solidfamily support network, it is some-times evident that others do not.Some recipients pass away or are
moved to nursing care; others seemto be more or less alone in an im-poverished life.
“It’s tough,” said Kayes. “It’shumbling.”
Still, the good feelings far out-weigh the sadder experiences.
“The satisfaction comes fromknowing that we are assisting thepeople that are truly in need givingback to those who helped build thiscommunity,” said Kayes.
As Buchanan and Keyes arrivedto deliver a meal to Helen Taylor,her caretaker-daughter was leav-ing for work. Taylor’s son-in-law,Leonard Thompson, explained howMeals on Wheels helps his familycontinue to be productive citizens.
“It makes it easy on my wife be-cause my wife works,” he said.
“She doesn’t have to worryabout preparing a meal for [Taylor].It’s a great help.”
Knight could not be more proudof the way the Sailors from NSF In-dian Head stepped up to meet hischallenge, calling the effort “fantas-tic.” Knight, who is engaged in sev-eral charitable community activi-ties, added that the same Sailors dida great job collecting 197 food bas-kets for needy families during theholidays. “They were awesome.”

By Andrew RevelosStaff Writer
Eleven employees and ser-vice members assigned toNaval Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren brought some of theinstallation’s storied scientificexpertise to the science fairJan. 10 at King George MiddleSchool, where they servedas judges. The judges helpeddecide which project was thebest in show, as well as choos-ing more than a dozen proj-ects that will advance to thePiedmont Regional ScienceFair in March. Winners werealso chosen for each scienceproject division, such as com-puter science, animal scienceand physics.
Teachers encouraged judg-es to interact with studentsduring the project evalua-tions. Judges took that adviceand asked students detailedquestions about why theychose their project, how theyused the scientific method andwhat, if anything, they mightdo differently next time. Thegrading was divided into sub-categories that evaluated thestudents’ accuracy, contentknowledge, thoroughness,neatness and originality.
Several students impressedthe judges in the latter cat-egory. “They were definitelyoriginal this year,” said JessicaDrinks, science teacher at KingGeorge Middle School.
Projects ranged from asimple but highly scientificevaluation on the durabil-ity of rubber bands, to testingthe amount of electrolytes insports drinks, to a fascinat-ing project that evaluated theability of ants to predict earthquakes.
Teachers said the chance tointeract with real life science,technology, engineering andmath (STEM) professionalsinspired the students to workhard on the projects. Of course,science and math teachers areSTEM professionals, but get-ting a fresh perspective excitesstudents. “”[Students] get tohear from their math and sci-ence teachers every single dayfor 200 days,” said Drinks. “Ithink sometimes they hear usand monotone out like Char-lie Brown’s teacher. Here, thejudges are people who havebeen doing this for a real job:they’re real scientists and en-gineers. people on base doingstuff. The students say ‘wow,this is someone taking timefrom their work to come in andtalk to me.’ And it really givesthem a new perspective. Theyget a lot of validation whenthey see their project can beapplied in the real world.”
Drinks and the other KingGeorge County teachers alsothanked the judges for theirparticipation.
For their own part, thejudges all enjoyed a chance tointeract with what they hopewill be tomorrow’s STEM pro-fessionals. “It was definitely
rewarding,” said FC1 KyleLoftin, assigned to the AegisTraining and Readiness Cen-ter (ATRC). “I like interfacingwith the younger generationjust to see where their headsare at and what they’re think-ing. If you look around here,you can see that [students] are
thinking and using their headsand they’re aware of their sur-roundings. That’s huge.”
After evaluating projects,the judges had a spirited de-bate about which projectswere the best in each divisionand which students deservedto advance to the PiedmontRegional Science Fair. Thedecision about which projectwas the best in show, howev-er, came rather quickly. Chris-tian, an 8th grader, impressedall the judges with a very in-teresting project about howvarious materials might affectradio waves. Christian knewhis subject inside and out andpresented his finding with en-thusiasm and professionalism.
It is not only science thatfascinated Christian, but alsothe history of science. “Dar-win and evolution. it’s howwe interpret the history of theworld,” he said.
Christian was inspired tocreate his experiment afterconducting some internetresearch about the iffy cellphone reception he noticedin certain places. “I was think-ing how [my project] couldpertain to real-world applica-tions, so I was thinking aboutcommunications and cellphones popped up, of course.Like the mall. there’s no recep-tion there at all.”
Christian was unaware ofhis project’s impression on thejudges at the time he was in-terviewed, but had narroweddown his career aspirationsfor the future to a couple vi-tally important job fields. “I’mthinking of being a doctor, be-cause I’m interested in howthe body works,” he said. “Iwas actually [also] thinking ofbeing a computer engineer.”

Everyday preventive actions are steps that people cantake to help slow the spread of germs that cause respiratoryillness, like flu. These include the following personal andcommunity actions:
*Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when youcough or sneeze. This will block the spread of droplets fromyour mouth or nose that could contain germs.
*Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soapand water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
*Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germsspread this way.
*Try to avoid close contact with sick people.*If you or your child gets sick with a respiratory illness,
like flu, limit contact with others as much as possible tohelp prevent spreading illness. Stay home (or keep yourchild home) for at least 24 hours after fever is gone exceptto seek medical care or for other necessities. Fever shouldbe gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.
*If an outbreak of flu or another illness occurs, followpublic health advice. This may include information abouthow to increase distance between people and other mea-sures.

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) FleetMaster Mobile Training Team (MMTT) visited Aegis Trainingand Readiness Center on board Naval Support Facility Dahl-gren to train its command training team Jan. 7.
The SAPR-F training is the latest event in the Navy’s ag-gressive efforts to prevent sexual assaults and promote essen-tial culture changes within the force. The 20 SAPR-F MasterMobile Training Teams (MMTTs) began deploying aroundthe globe Dec. 6 to provide SAPR-F Preparation Training todesignated mid-level leadership command training teams infleet concentration areas and locations with significant Navypresence. These command training teams will then deliverthe SAPR-F training to their E-6 and below personnel, whichmust be completed at each command by March 31.
ATRC’s Commanding Officer Capt. Ian Hall said the train-ing is necessary because sexual assault hurts the victim andthe command, and significantly damage a military unit’s es-prit de corps.
“The mobile training team provided superb training,” he
said. “It’s essential for us to be aligned with Navy leadershipas we deliver this important message to our Sailors. Getting itright the first time is essential as we work to get rid of sexualassault in our Navy.”
Beginning in December, more than 1,000 face-to-faceSAPR-F Preparation Training sessions are scheduled throughJanuary, providing training for active and reserve componenttraining teams. Those teams that are deployed and unable toattend a face-to-face training session can receive the trainingvia Defense Connect Online. After command training teamsprovide the SAPR-F training to their E-6 and below, eachcommand is responsible for documenting completion viathe Fleet Training Management Planning System (FLTMPS).
ATRC plans on completing its training by the end of Feb-ruary.
Chief Fire Controlman Steven Dillenschneider, ATRC’sSAPR liaison, says the command benefitted from the training.
“Our command training team has been well-equippedwith the tools necessary to provide effective training to our
Sailors,” he said. “This training is especially important forthe ‘prevention’ part of ‘Sexual Assault Prevention and Re-sponse.’”
ATRC’s parent command is the Center for Surface CombatSystems, who oversees 14 learning sites that provide mainte-nance and operations training for surface combat systems.Other CSCS learning sites that received the SAPR-F traininginclude CSCS Unit Dam Neck, located in Virginia Beach, Va.,and CSCS Unit Great Lakes.
Sexual assault prevention is an element of the readinessarea of the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, whichbuilds resiliency to hone the most combat-effective force inthe history of the Department of the Navy.
Additional information on the MMTT and SAPR-L train-ing efforts can be found at the SAPR L/F training Web pages,including command registration for SAPR-F training: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupersnpc/support/sapr/Pages/train-ing.aspx.

This past summer, Com-mander Navy InstallationsCommand released a Fa-cilities Services NAVSHOREmessage that outlined servicelevel reductions that Navyshore installations will needto adopt in order to complywith the fiscal year 2013 bud-get. While some personnelwill notice minor changes asa result, Naval District Wash-ington (NDW) maintains itsmission readiness regardless.
“The changes that are go-ing to be the most noticeableto people on this base or onany of our bases are goingto be the ones that involvefacility services,” said NDWexecutive director ThomasMcGuire.
“Reduced frequency ofsuch custodial services as car-pet cleaning, recycling, trashpickup, these are going to bethe most visible.
“Less visible, but equallyimportant, there are going tobe changes in things as seem-ingly mundane as how oftenthe grass gets cut and to whatheight, and other landscapingmeasures,” McGuire adds.“All of this is done in the in-terest of reducing expendi-tures in the coming years inorder to stay within budgetand to protect service lev-els in other programs whichmore directly impact Fleet,Fighter and Family.”
McGuire added that ten-ant commands can also ex-pect to see some changes asa result of the service reduc-tions due to shared services.
“Tenant commands willbe affected because a lot oftheir base-operating supportservices rest on commoncontracts,” said McGuire.
“For example, each tenantdoesn’t do its own recyclingbecause we have a recyclingcontract for the base and we
pick up from every tenant;similarly for a lot of cleaningservices.”
While certain services willbe affected by these changes,mission readiness remainsthe primary concern of theregion, said McGuire.
“We are trying to protectmission readiness as muchas possible,” said McGuire.“So where you’ll see most ofthe reductions are in thingswhich affect convenience. Idon’t see mission readinessbeing significantly degraded,because that’s precisely whatwe’re trying to protect.
“For example, one of ourmissions is to protect the in-stallation, and there are manyways to accomplish that mis-sion,” he explained. “So to thedegree that we might investmoney in perimeter monitor-ing systems and remote cam-eras and sensors, we may beable to continue to achieveour mission but with lower
overall costs.”Though all personnel are
expected to do their part inpromoting efficiency andmaximizing effective and re-sponsible use of resources,the reduction in custodialcontract work will not resultin a wholesale transfer ofthese duties to Sailors andcivilian personnel. Personnelmay be responsible for smallthings, such as desk-sidetrash removal, due to the ser-vice reductions, but McGuiresaid the savings in the longrun will benefit region, Navyand country.
“It’s incumbent uponall of us to find ways to cutcosts and save money,” saidMcGuire. “We have direc-tion from the Department ofDefense and the President tocut over $400 billion worth ofcosts from security spendingover the next 10 years, andour own reductions are onesmall piece of that.”

The arrival of January andwinter means that we arebound for colder tempera-tures in the coming months.Visions of skiing, curling upby the fire, snowflakes as theyfall gracefully to the ground,and all their preparations cre-ate eager anticipation, but thewinter’s frigid temperatures,blizzards, and storms makeemergency preparedness es-pecially crucial at this time ofyear.
With advanced planningin three key areas, you canbe ready for any unexpectedhazard that surfaces amidstwinter’s delight. Ready Navyis here to help. Visit www.ready.navy.mil.
Be and Stay InformedLearn about hazards
that are common in wintermonths and most likely tohappen in your area, such aswinter storms and power out-ages. The Ready Navy website“Be and Stay Informed” tabsoffer specific instructions, in-formation and resources youmay need to know regardingwinter storms, power outagesand home fires.
Make a PlanAs a family, make an emer-
gency plan so that everyonein the family understandswhat to do, where to go, and
what to take in the event of afire or any emergency.
Additionally, winter firehazards, ice and winter windscan bring down power lines,making traditional com-munication difficult. Youremergency plan shouldinclude how your familywill communicate witheach other, particularlyif normal communica-tion methods, such asphone lines or celltowers, are out.
Road conditionsand other hazardscan limit ease ofmovement. Havea contact per-son out-side thearea thate a c hmemberof thef a m -ily cannotify thatthey are safe, i fseparated. The Ready Navywebsite provides printableforms and contact cards toguide you in your planning.
Lastly, learn about themustering requirements atyour command and becomefamiliar with the Navy Fam-ily Accountability and As-sessment System (NFAAS)(https://navyfamily.navy.mil).
Build a KitThe best way to prepare
for the unexpected is to createone or more emergency kitsthat include enough waterand non-perishable suppliesfor every family memberto survive at leastthree days. Keep a
kit prepared at
home,and consider hav-ing kits in your car, atwork, and a portableversion in your home readyto take with you.
These kits will enable youand your family to respond toa winter (or any emergency)more effectively. Your variousemergency kits will be usefulwhether you have to shelter-in-place, are stranded at workor on the road, or move to an-
otherlocation. Be sure your
kits address the needs ofsmall children, individualswith special needs, and yourpets.
In winter months, be sureto include blankets in yourkits to bundle and warmfamily members should pow-er outages knock out heatsources or should you get
stranded ina car.
A d d i -tional win-
ter items toconsider are salt to
melt ice on walkways; sandto increase traction; a broomand snow shovel to removesnow; plastic sheeting tokeep winter winds from bit-ing through windows; andhand warmers, hats, gloves,and seasoned wood for asource of warmth; as well asfire extinguishers for safety.You can find a suggested listof other kit items under the
Ready Navy website “Make aPlan” tab.
Be Winter Ready Navy! Iam. Are You?

Freeze Winter FiresDid you know that heating
sources are the second lead-ing cause of home fires everyyear, especially during wintermonths? Kerosene heaters,candles, and wood burningfireplaces are big culprits,with December being thepeak time for home candlefires. Freeze winter fires byusing these items safely:
.Keep anything combus-tible at least three feet awayfrom any heat source.
.Use kerosene heatersonly where approved by au-thorities, and refuel outsideand only after the heater hascooled.
.Never leave a burningcandle unattended or aban-doned.
.Use fire screens to keepthe fire in the fireplace andhave your chimney cleanedevery year.
.Make sure that yourhome has at least one smokedetector.
