Fourth of July, the all-American holiday Navy styleBy Eric Sesit

NWS Public Affairs

Burgers, hot dogs, lemonade, home-made ice cream, anda cool dip on a hot summer day. Follow it up with watermel-on and a spectacular fireworks show and you have the mak-ings for an all-American Fourth of July.

As in years past, Naval Weapons Station (NWS)Charleston will hold its annual Freedom Fest, July 2nd atMarrington Plantation onboard NWS Charleston, just off ofRed Bank Road. What orginally began as a simple July 4thpicnic many years ago, has morphed into one of the best cel-ebrations in the area.

According to MWR spokesman David Holt, this year’sFreedom Fest has something for everyone. “Besides the tra-ditional Fourth of July foods, we’ll have exciting games andactivities for the entire family.

“In addition to the inflatable jump castles and slides, we’llhave sumo suit wrestling, jousting tournaments and, new forthis year, is the hot air balloon rides.”

The balloon rides will be available depending on weatherconditions. Riders can expect to board the gondola and belifted about 30 - 50 feet above the ground.

“The balloon will be tethered to the ground, so you won’tfloat off and miss the fireworks show,” Holt said.

The highlight of any Fourth of July celebration is the fire-works and this year will be no exception with the fireworksdisplay beginning at approximately 9:00 p.m. There is plen-ty of free parking inside the plantation and the gates open at5:00 p.m. Admission is free and attendees should bring theirlawn chairs and blankets as well as some insect repellent.

If you miss the fireworks at Marrington Plantation, youcan still enjoy all the upcoming holiday weekend has to offerby heading over to Short Stay, the Navy’s Recreational facil-ity on Lake Moultrie. Although it’s a good bet that the camp-ground and cabins will be full, you and your family can enjoyan evening of Karaoke July 2 from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. On

Saturday, July 3, there will be a street dance from 7:00 -11:00 p.m. as well as a fireworks display at approximately9:00 p.m. And on Sunday, there will be a free showing ofAlice in Wonderland beginning at dark. There is an admis-sion fee to enter Short Stay: $1.00 per person, 50 cents forchildren six - 13, and free for kids five and younger.

Keeping Low Country Warriors On Course

What’s the rush? Every morning it’s as if the

Daytona speedway has come toGoose Creek. I’m always amazed athow fast some people will drive inorder to get to work on time. I’mnot naïve enough to believe it’sbecause so many of you actuallyenjoy coming to work every morn-ing. I can understand the rush to getout of Dodge at the end of the day,but 7:00 a.m. is no time to run theIndy 500.

Actually, I’m surprised we don’thave more accidents around herethan we do. A few hotspots I havenoticed that cause trouble are themerge from two lanes to one onRedbank Rd. The folks in the leftlane hang tight, barely keepingenough room between bumpers toslide a piece of paper through inorder to not let the folks in the rightlane merge. And the folks in theright lane, well they have twochoices; slow down and merge left

when the coast is clear, or stomp onthe gas and try to beat everyone offthe light to get ahead of them. Andunless your driving a Porsche, likesomeone I know who works here,you’re not going to beat the line ofcars already in the left lane. This isan accident waiting to happen. Oneof the nice things about living inthis area is that people are consider-ate of other drivers…when theywant to be. Use a little patience andallow people to merge when theyneed to.

Another hot spot is the entranceto the base at the end of RedbankRoad. The object of the gate is toprovide security. It is not a pit stopwhere you can drive up at 50 milesper hour and slam on breaks, scar-ing the bejeebies out of the Securityforce on duty. In order to curbspeeders at the gate, we’ve installedtwo signals that tell you exactlyhow fast you are going as youapproach the gate. The speed limitis 15 miles per hour. I know thatseems slow, but the gates are busywith construction traffic, turn-arounds, routine deliveries and peo-ple just trying to get to work. Wewill be monitoring these areasclosely. Be warned. Slow down!

We are well into summer now incase you haven’t noticed the sweatrolling off your brow. It’s hot andit’s humid and it is only going to gethotter during the next few months.Not everyone is fortunate enough towork in an air conditioned building

all day, and some of us have to beout in the heat. A typicalLowcountry weather forecast thatyou will hear from now untilSeptember is hazy, hot and humidwith a chance of afternoon thunder-storms. I’m not going to offer myopinions on global warming, but Iwill offer this piece of advice. Takeit easy! Drink plenty of water, getplenty of rest and watch your co-workers for signs of heat exhaustionor heat stroke. If you’re new to thisarea, take time to get acclimated tothe heat before going out and run-ning five miles. Exercise in themornings or late evenings when it’scooler and start off slow. Listen toyour body. If you don’t, you’ll prob-ably end up in the emergency roomwith an IV drip in your arm to getyou rehydrated.

One final thought: Bravo Zulu toeveryone who did not go out drink-ing and driving during the first twoweeks of the 101 Deadly Days ofSummer. NWS had zero alcoholrelated incidents. There will alwaysbe people out there who think theycan beat the system. To them I sayyou are endangering yourselves andyour families as well as every otherperson on the road with you. Youwill get caught, probably soonerthan later. Don’t be a statistic andplease, don’t make me or anyoneelse one.

Take Care,CDR Gary Martin

June 18, 2010 - July 8, 2010 Navy Charleston Shoreline Page 3

The overwhelming sensation of being trapped with no wayout, hopelessness and depression may consume a Sailor’s life.These emotions may trigger anger, bitter suppressed thoughts,excessive use of alcohol and can even cause people to distancethemselves from loved ones, friends, companions and evenwork. These are just a few warnings signs to look for... a redflashing light that may be that person’s last.

Naval Weapons Station Charleston continually reaches outa helping hand making it known to young Sailors that duringtimes of need, someone is there to help.

“Suicide prevention is everybody’s responsibility. Suicidedoesn’t discriminate and it affects people of any age, rank,race, or gender,” said Becky Bowers, Fleet and FamilySupport Center, life skills coordinator. “When a person takestheir own life, everybody suffers—family members, com-mand, friends, and the community.”

According to Navy Personnel Command, 13 active-dutypersonnel and three reserve personnel have committed suicidesince January 2010, four active-duty members in May alone.

Navy statistics shows little change in suicides from 2001 to2009. However, numbers show that in 2009, 46 Sailors tooktheir own life as compared to 2005 when there were 37.

Although the Navy’s suicide death toll pales in comparisonto the 33,300 suicides (Center for Disease Control) committednationally, suicide prevention and awareness is even moreimportant as service members face long and stressful deploy-ments.

If a shipmate is showing signs of depression or suicide,reach out to them. Let them know that someone cares andinform them that there is help available—ACT (Ask, Care,and Treat). There are many avenues to get Sailors the help theyneed: command Chaplains, Fleet and Family Support Centercounselors, corpsmen and the suicide hotline.

“Every threat of suicide or actual suicidal ideation is takenseriously. Anyone who encounters someone contemplatingsuicide has a great deal of resources at their disposal to assistthem in providing the appropriate level of care,” said ChiefReligious Program Specialist Stephen Walz.

“People are our most important asset. It’s crucial foreveryone in the chain of command to take time, not onlyto educate them, but to respond to individuals who maybe ready to take their own lives,” Walz continued.

The key to success in suicide prevention is to beproactive and educate all-hands. Recognize the warningsigns, understand the risks involved, know whatresources are available to help a troubled person andnever ignore any threats that indicate suicide.

“We have all seen the Navy training videos on sui-cide and most people forget the information as soon asthe video stops,” said NWS Charleston ExecutiveOfficer Lt. Steven Janicki. “With an issue so importanteveryone needs to remember that they can be the lastline of defense in the battle to save someone’s life, theyjust need to speak up.”

Myth: “Getting help will make me to lose my clear-ance.”

Truth: Less than 2% of revoked or denied clear-ances are for psychological problems. In the vast major-ity of situations, getting counseling or treatment is anindicator of the good reliability and judgment requiredfor clearances. Failure to seek help and allowing prob-lems to get worse and start to impact performance, con-duct and finances, is more likely to lead to clearanceloss. With changes in April 2008, marital, family, orgrief counseling (not related to violence by the applicantand unless the treatment was court-ordered) and anycounseling for post-combat deployment concerns arenot required to be reported on the security clearanceform SF 86. While other counseling or psychologicaltreatment is reported by the applicant on the SF 86 formand leads to an extra step in the clearance process, thisvery rarely results in denial or revocation of clearance.

Myth: “Sailors who talk about suicide won’t reallydo it.”

Truth: Almost everyone who commits or attemptssuicide has given some clue or warning. Do not ignore suicidethreats. Statements like “you’ll be sorry when I’m dead,” “I

can’t see any way out,” — no matter how casually or jokinglysaid may indicate serious suicidal feelings.

You’re not alone — suicide prevention awarenessBy MC1(SW/AW) Jennifer Hudson

NWS Public Affairs

With the busiest season for permanent-change-of-stationmoves under way, officials at U.S. Transportation Commandare encouraging servicemembers to take advantage of newsystems designed to make the process more convenient andefficient.

Transcom launched the new Personally Procured Move,or PPM system to better compensate servicemembers whopersonally move their household goods on military orders,said Dolly Davidson, a change management outreach spe-cialist at Transcom. PPM replaced the “Do It Yourself,” orDITY, move system.

Under PPM, servicemembers can receive up to 95 percentof what it would cost the government to move their goodsusing a commercial carrier. They can hire a commercialmover if they choose, move some or all of their goods them-selves, and pocket any savings they receive.

While converting to PPM, Transcom also introduced a

new system, the Defense Personal Property System, toprocess and manage household moves.

DPS is a computerized management system for movingthe household goods of military members and DoD civilians,Davidson explained. DPS automates pre-move counseling,scheduling, tracking, invoicing and claims-filing for house-hold goods shipments, eliminating the need for servicemem-bers to schedule their household goods moves face-to-face,she said.

“In DTS, you can go in 24/7, you can counsel yourself,you can put in your shipment and move arrangements, andeverything else is done automatically,” she said. “You can doit from your laptop, from your work station, even your livingroom couch. And you can track your shipments online, too.”

Unlike the legacy paper-based system it replaces, DPS isequipped to process moves servicemembers make them-selves – which constitute the vast majority of moves.

DPS is a big money-saver for the government, not onlyreducing PCS processing costs, but also generating lowercost estimates from many moving companies, said RolandAmos, chief of the DPS functional and requirements branchat Transcom.

That’s a big factor for the military, which spends about $2billion a year for more than 550,000 household moves,Transcom reported.

Now, Davidson added, with the legacy system expected toremain operational until December along with DPS, her mis-sion is to encourage servicemembers to choose DPS toprocess their moves. Transcom officials encourage service-members to register their household-move experiencesthrough a new online customer service survey found atwww.move.mil. The results will be used to help the commandselect the best-performing moving companies for future mil-itary moves, Davidson said.

New firearms policy releasedBy April Phillips, Navy Safety Center Public Affairs

The Navy announced a policychange regarding personal firearmsto consolidate and clarify therequirements for those who ownthese weapons.

The NAVADMIN detailing thenew policy is available at www.per-

snet.navy.mil/NR/rdonlyres/BCB24

0 1 2 - B C 5 2 - 4 E 8 8 - B 2 0 F -

A509B1C744B7/0/NAV10196.txt.

The change to OPNAVINST5530.14E came after a review ofexisting policy indicated that therewere inconsistencies in the waypersonal firearm regulations wereenacted across the fleet, accordingto Rear Adm. Arthur J. Johnson,Commander, Naval Safety Center.

However, he emphasized thatthe policy change should not makelife more difficult for those whochoose to own weapons.

“This policy is more of a clarifi-cation than a change,” saidJohnson. “It’s not meant to make

owning a personal firearm morerestrictive for Sailors. Instead, italigns policy across the enterpriseso Sailors know what’s expected ofthem if they do own a firearm.”

One highlight of the new policyis the ability for all Sailors to storetheir personal firearms in basehousing or armories (when space isavailable), so long as they receiveprior written approval from theinstallation commanding officer.Weapons must be stored in alocked container, a locked gunrack, or secured with approvedtrigger locks to keep the weaponfrom firing.

Weapons are still prohibited inother on-base locations, such asbachelor enlisted or bachelor offi-cer quarters, work centers, andvehicles.

The policy also clarifies thatSailors must comply with all feder-al, state, and local laws, and that

concealed weapons are neverallowed on Navy installations,regardless of local law.

While the policy change co-locates and clarifies firearms poli-cy, Johnson said there’s one thingthat hasn’t changed.

“The decision to own a person-al firearm carries with it personalresponsibility,” said Johnson. “Ifyou do own a weapon, you mustunderstand the basic rules of gunsafety and make sure you followthose rules at all times.”

The primary rules of gun safetyare: Treat every weapon as if itwere loaded; never point a weaponat anything you don’t intend toshoot; and, keep your finger off thetrigger until you’re ready to fire.

Johnson adds two other rulesthat are important to remember.

“Keep weapons out of untrainedor underage hands, and rememberthat guns and alcohol don’t mix.”

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff(JCS), visited Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR)Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic June 3.

The admiral spoke to SSC Atlantic employees in themain engineering center, thanking them — and the entirecenter team via video teleconference — for its various con-tributions to warfighter readiness. The admiral also visitedthe Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) integrationfacility to congratulate the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) integration team for the recent milestone of complet-ing the 5,000th M-ATV installation.

“The reputation you have is superb,” Mullen told a groupof more than 600 SSC Atlantic employees assembled in theatrium of the main engineering center on the Charlestoncampus. “You are delivering critical capabilities to the fleet,to Marines, and to joint customers. I just wanted to comehere to tell you how much I appreciate what you do. Ibelieve you are no different – from the standpoint of yourdedication, patriotism and support to our nation – fromthose who wear the uniform,” the admiral added.

The admiral toured the SSC Atlantic M-ATV integrationfacility where command, control, communications, comput-ers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR)equipment is installed in the M-ATVs. These vehicles arethen shipped to Afghanistan to aid the soldiers and Marineson their daily patrols. SSC Atlantic is responsible for theprototyping, testing, integration, installation and quality

assurance of all advanced C4I equipment on the M-ATVs.“I came here with one singular thought in mind, and that

is to express my gratitude for what you do,” the admiral toldthe MRAP and M-ATV C4I integrators.

“Every time I have made a trip in theater, a soldier hascome to me and said, ‘keep the MRAPS and MATVs com-ing. They save our lives. Tell them back home thank you,’You have made an incredible difference to those in the fight,and to their families. We can always depend on people likeyou to meet the challenge, whatever it is, so I thank you,”Mullen said.

The M-ATV answers an urgent and compelling require-ment to protect warfighters with a highly survivable, off-road capable vehicle. The M-ATV mission is for small unitcombat operations in highly restricted rural, mountainousand urban environments that include mounted patrols,reconnaissance, security, convoy protection and communi-cations.

As chairman of the JCS, Mullen is the highest-rankingofficer in the U.S. armed forces and the president’s princi-pal military advisor. As such, he presides over all meetingsand coordinates the efforts of the JCS. He also advises thesecretary of defense, the National Security Council and theHomeland Security Council.

SSC Atlantic has integrated nearly 16,000 MRAP vehi-cles and over 5,000 M-ATVs. More than 8,000 M-ATVs –he next generation of MRAPs – have been authorized.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff Navy Adm. Mike Mullen citedthe significance of mine-resistant,ambush-protected vehicles in combat,praising the life-saving efforts of civil-ian scientists and engineers who’veintegrated such capabilities intotoday’s military.

“You’ve saved an enormous num-ber of lives,” Mullen told some 500employees – the majority of whom aredefense civilians — at the Space andNaval Warfare Systems CenterAtlantic headquarters and MRAP inte-gration facility here, “You realized thatwe needed to generate MRAPs at aremarkable pace [and] continuallyadjusted” to meet mission require-ments.”

Mullen visited the facility June 3for the first time and helped the Navalcommand here celebrate its recentaccomplishment of fielding 5,000 all-terrain versions of the MRAP.

The command achieved the mile-stone May 28. The DefenseDepartment has fielded spent morethan $26 billion, fielding some 22,000

MRAPs in the past three years.“Every single one of these save

lives,” Mullen said, referring to theMRAP vehicles they outfit withradios, tracking and counter bomb sys-tems.

“I came here with one singlethought in mind, and that’s to expressmy gratitude for what you’ve accom-plished here,” the admiral said. “Youare the final outfitters for this capabil-ity, and you have continuouslyimproved day by day over the last sev-eral years.”

Mullen acknowledged the civilianefforts in MRAP development, callingthe workforce here decisive in theDefense Departments efforts to givewarfighters the best tools possible.

“You’re part of the leading edge oftechnology,” he said. “You’ve made ahuge difference, [and] I couldn’t bemore proud of being associated withevery one of you.”

Mullen said deployed troops almostalways express their gratitude for suchcapabilities when he visits with themin Iraq and Afghanistan. Troops on the

ground recognize the need and appre-ciate the added protection they havewith the vehicles, he said.

“There isn’t a trip I’ve taken into[Iraq and Afghanistan] where someyoung soldier or Marine won’t say tome, ‘keep those MRAPs coming. Theysave our lives,’” Mullen said.“[MRAPs] saved countless lives, andbelieve me, there’s not anyone on theground over there who understands thethreat that doesn’t know that’s exactlythe case.”

Mullen also lauded the civilianworkforce here for doing their part inservice to the nation. They may notwear military uniforms or deploy towar, but their contributions to improv-ing national security is noteworthy inits own way, he said.

“You’re as patriotic and dedicatedwith focusing on achieving our mis-sion in national defense as any of uswho wear the uniform,” he said. “Youare no different, in my perspective, interms of your dedication, you patriot-ism in support of our country and ourmission than anybody in uniform.”

Small steps do make a difference.Often, we don’t believe that one per-son can have much impact on totalenergy consumption. But in reality,when each of us makes our own con-tribution, no matter how little it mayappear to be, the cumulative effect canbecome enormous.

The average passenger car is drivenabout 12,000 miles per year and usesapproximately 500 gallons of gas overthat distance (based on an EPA ratingof 24 mpg). If each passenger car wasto get an extra two miles per gallon,the total number of gallons of gasolinesaved each year would be five billiongallons. The following are a few tips tohelp save on fuel use:

Drive smoothly: Slow down gradu-ally, rather than jamming on thebrakes, then accelerate slowly. Youcan save as much as two miles per gal-

lon. Plus it reduces wear on yourbrakes.

When driving on the highway, useyour cruise control to maintain asteady speed.

Remove unnecessary heavy itemsfrom your car. Every 100 pounds extracosts you about half a mile per gallon.

Keep the tires of your car or truckproperly inflated. For every pound persquare inch (psi) below the properlevel there is an average increase of0.4 percent in fuel consumption; as lit-tle as four pounds under pressure canreduce your mileage by 10 percent.

Ride a bike or walk to work, to thelocal neighborhood store or to a near-by friend’s home.

Don’t start your car until you’reready to move; idling engines wastegas. If you are idling for more than oneminute turn the engine off.

Fixing a car that is out of tune canimprove gas mileage by 4 percent.

Fixing a serious maintenance prob-lem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor,can improve your mileage by as muchas 40 percent.

You can improve your gas mileageby one to two percent by using themanufacturer’s recommended grade ofmotor oil. Using 10W-30 motor oil inan engine designed to use 5W-30 canlower your gas mileage by one to twopercent.

Observe the speed limit—each fivemiles per hour (mph) you drive over60 mph can reduce your fuel economyby 10 percent.

Contact the Utilities and EnergyOffice if you would like additionalinformation. (843) 764-4478.

Bachelor housing’s Sailors in the communityBy SH2 Ketler

You would be surprised at the amount of work that goeson right down the street from where you live. Berkeley

County has a non-profit organization called Habitat forHumanity. Some of the quality programs they are involvedwith include providing homes and a variety of used furnitureto include beds, curios, washer/dryers, at a huge discountedprice to families in the Lowcountry in need of these services.They also help build houses for the less fortunate. It is a pro-gram where selected members help not only build homes butother homes for selected members of the program. Localbusinesses provide furnishing and building products at a dis-counted price and it is passed directly on to the fortunatefamilies that have been selected to receive the home. As aconsumer, you can donate furniture and appliances in goodworking condition and write it off on your taxes.

Most of the volunteer staff is retired so the young Sailorsthat participate provide a “youthful” shot in the arm to all thefolks at Habitat for Humanity and they have expressed howmuch it really is appreciated. SH2 Heber Tucker, SH2 JamesEbron, SH2 Henry Polanco, MM3 John Ohearn, SH3 CharlesThompson and I volunteered on April 8, 2010, and we hadno idea the level of work that is accomplished every day withso few volunteers! Kathy Cotterill, one of the managers fromHabitat for Humanity, mentioned they need help from thelocal community through volunteers on a daily basis. Ourday was non-stop from the time we arrived until knock-off atthe end of the day. Something I did not know was Directorateof Transitional Personnel (DTP) provides Sailors to the ware-house daily to assist them. At the end of the day it was obvi-ous to me and all the other members of the Housing depart-ment, the satisfaction you get from helping out those in need.This is another outstanding program where we, the servicemembers of Naval Weapons Station Charleston, can be pres-ent and on call every day of the week including weekends,helping out in our local community.
