MILLINGTON, Tenn. -Who Will Stand Your

atch is a new sub-stance abuse preven-ion campaign recentlyaunched by the Navylcohol and Drug Abuserevention (NADAP)ffice officials said lasteek.The focus of the cam-

aign is to educateailors on the nega-ive impact substancebuse can have on theirareers, family and ship-ates.

Sailors have a per-sonal responsibility toonsider the effect theirbsence will have onheir unit and their ship-ates if he or she is

emoved from duty asresult of a substance

buse incident, saidorice Favorite, NADAPirector.NADAP is using tele-

ision public servicennouncements, post-rs and pamphlets toeighten awareness ofow poor decision mak-

ng by Sailors in abusingrugs or alcohol dimin-shes command readi-ess.A Sailors decision

o use drugs has a badmpact on the work-orce, said Yeoman 1stlass (SW/AW) Latashiaraham, Navy Personnelommand (NPC) secre-

ariat office. Now youut Sailors that work forou or work with you inhe position of having too your job and theirshich makes it more

stressful for everyone.

According to Favorite,he number of alcoholncidents and Sailors test-

ing positive for illicit drugshas decreased over theyears, but substance abusecontinues to put lives andmissions at risk. For thatreason, it benefits every-

one to prevent substanceabuse from occurring rath-er than dealing with itsconsequences. Preventionrequires responsibility andaccountability at all lev-els.

The campaign is apro-active approachto substance abuse,said Favorite. It forcesSailors to ask themselveswho will stand my watchwhen I lose my career oreven my life due to drugor alcohol abuse.

Even with the emer-

gence of new designerdrugs the Navy maintainsa zero tolerance policyfor illegal drug use, rein-forced by the separationof 1,515 Sailors in fiscalyear 2011. The ArmedForces Medical ExaminerServices currently testsfor designer drug com-pounds for Navy CriminalInvestigative Services(NCIS) cases.

If a Sailor needs helpwith substance abuse, theycan contact the commanddrug and alcohol programadvisor (DAPA), contactMilitary-One Source fora confidential assessmentand counseling at no costto the Sailor, speak withtheir chain-of-commandor their medical care pro-vider.

Exercise Mission-EssentialPersonnel objective will easeimpact, close support activities

By NNLPA

GROTON, Conn. - AsNaval Submarine BaseNew London (SUBASE),participates in the annualNavywide Exercise SolidCurtain/Citadel Shield,March 19-24, a new exer-cise objective this yearwill also help ease trafficdisruptions and neighbor-hood impacts.

Conducted at Navalbases and installationsthroughout the continen-tal United States, ExerciseSolid Curtain/CitadelShield 2012 is not inresponse to any specific

threat, but is a regularly-scheduled, security train-ing exercise coordinatedby Commander, U.S.Fleet Forces Commandand Commander, NavalInstallations Command.

During March 22-24,as part of the exercise,SUBASE may increase itsForce Protection Conditionlimiting base access andimpacting the local areatraffic pattern.

Every year duringthis exercise, we experi-ence some backup at thegates, and were trying to

minimize that this year,said Commander MikePennington, SUBASEExecutive Officer. Weare urging people to stayaway from the base onthose dates unless it isabsolutely necessary anda new exercise objectivemay also help.

That objective focus-es on Mission-EssentialPersonnel (MEP).

MEP are those personnelat a command required tonot only rapidly establishheightened installationsecurity and emergency

management postures, butalso, if required, executeoperational sorties of shipsand aircraft or provide keyFleet logistical support for,or needed maintenanceand repairs to, deployingships and aircraft.

For SUBASE, only peo-

ple essential to securing thebase and getting subma-rines to sea would come towork, said Pennington.

The testing of the MEPplan should help allevi-ate congestion at baseentrances as non-MEP willbe encouraged, but not

required, to remain awayfrom the base during theexercise.

While MEP will beexpected to report for duty,non-MEP who choose notto report for work dur-ing the exercise would beable to consult with theirsupervisor in advance andrequest appropriate leaveor consideration of otheravailable flexibilities.

The result should betwo fold, Penningtonsaid. Instituting MEPshould greatly reduce thenumber of personnel and

vehicles that we will havecoming to SUBASE as wellas decrease the size of anyback-ups resulting fromthe vehicle inspections andincreased security mea-sures that are part of ourheightened exercise ForceProtection Condition.

The MEP plans focuson mission will also meanthat ancillary activities willbe curtailed.

All SUBASE supportactivities would close orhave limited openings formission essential personnelonly, said Pennington.

The Commissary, NavyExchange, Fleet andFamily Support Center,and most on-base Morale,Welfare and Recreation(MWR) facilities will beclosed. The only on-baseMWR facilities that willbe open are Morton Hall

Gymnasium, the LibertyCenter and Reunionsbowling complex; but,these facilities will notbe conducting any sched-uled classes or organizedevents.

Additionally, SUBASEsHousing Office will be

closed March 23 and thePersonnel Support ActivityDetachment (PSAD) willbe offering limited servic-es. The PSAD recommendspersonnel telephone theircustomer service desk at(860)694-2768 to verifyservice availability.

Naval Branch HealthClinic Groton will be han-dling acute care cases onlyfor active duty servicemembers.

Off base, the ChildDevelopment Center, theDolphin Mart, and theNavy Lodge will be open

for normal business.Members of our NavyNew London communitywho have questions orconcerns about a supportactivity, and its status dur-ing the exercise, shouldcall that activity now andfind out, Pennington said.Hope is not a plan, andwaiting until the exer-cise to see what may beimpacted, is not the rightanswer.

The bottom line accord-ing to Pennington is prepa-ration and planning.

Even with SUBASE

executing our MEP Plan,the security exercise willimpact gates and baseaccess, he said. So, unlessits absolutely necessary foryou to come to the baseduring March 22 through24, I would encourage youto just stay home.

... unless its absolutely necessary

for you to come to the base duringMarch 22 through 24, I would

encourage you to just stay home.

Time running out for Kohls Cares Scholarship

GROTON, Conn. - Intodays world, peoplemust keep up with tech-nology in order to con-duct their daily routines.They are required to adaptdaily to new knowledgeand exciting discoveriesthat are constantly chang-ing the way they live anddo business. Today, every-

thing from saying hello toa friend down the street,to videoconferencingwith someone around theworld, can be done elec-tronically from home.

Technological advancesnow allow people to carryout the most mundane oftasks, such as orderinggroceries from the store, tothe most complex activi-ties, such as performingcomplicated surgery, allfrom a separate, remotelocation: a computer con-nected to the Internet.

Since its beginnings in

the 1990s, the Internet hasgrown into a vast elec-tronic network that nowspans the entire globe, andit will only continue togrow. Because people usethe Internet in their every-day lives, they rely on itfor a safe and accurateexchange of information.

Constantly, personaldata such as Social Securitynumbers, credit card num-bers, and passwords aretraveling through wires,and also through theair, from one computerto another. With securitymeasures in place to pro-tect this sort of informa-tion online, most peoplefeel safe on the Internetand trust that their person-al information will remainconfidential. But, unfortu-

nately, criminals have alsoadapted to advancementsin technology and, thesedays, people are becomingvictims of crimes commit-ted over the Internet.

One example of thegrowing computer hack-ing problem in which per-sonal information was sto-len emerged in February2005 when an informationbroker, ChoicePoint Inc.,announced that an iden-tity theft ring had hackedinto its database andgained access to hundredsof thousands of personal

documents. Some of theinformation that was sto-len included full names,Social Security numbers,home addresses, and cred-it reports.

Many other large corpo-rations such as T-MobileUSA were also recentlyhacked, and had their cli-

ents information stolen.Even superstar Paris Hiltoncould not escape the threatof identity theft as herpersonal photos, text mes-sages, and phone numbersin her personal directorywere stolen by a hack-er and spread across theInternet. The U.S. Senatewill soon hold hearings todetermine whether thesecorporations and informa-tion brokers require moreextensive regulation.

The Internet can be apowerful tool, and theconvenience it offers tomanage business and rec-reation is invaluable. Buttheft and fraud are dam-aging the positive repu-tation of the Internet asa medium for business.Consumers are losing con-fidence in their own safetyon the Internet, and fewerpeople are making pur-chases online these days.

However, there aresteps that you can take todecrease your chances ofbecoming a victim, and to

help catch cyber-criminalsat work:

* Be aware that there arepeople online who wouldlike to gain access to yourpersonal information. Donot share this informationunless you have initiat-ed the exchange or areabsolutely sure of who is

receiving it.* Install security and

scanning software ontoyour computer to protectit from online hacking.

* Do not use your name,date of birth, address, orany other personal infor-mation for passwords.These passwords are eas-ily cracked by hackers. Infact, it is suggested that forany password, you shouldnot use a word that isfound in the dictionary,

as there are hacking pro-grams that will attemptevery word in the diction-ary.

* Never disclose personalinformation in response toan e-mail. Legitimate busi-nesses would never askyou to do this. If an e-mailor pop-up ad requests youto confirm personal infor-mation, even if it looksgenuine, it is an exampleof phishing and should bereported to [email protected], theattorneys at the Securitiesand Exchange Commission

at [email protected],and to the Federal TradeCommission at [email protected].

* If you are concernedabout an e-mail youreceive from a company,contact that company byphone to verify the infor-

Sailors serve nation by day, volunteerwith local fire department in off duty hours

By Submarine Group 2

Public Affairs

LEDYARD, Conn.

Two submariners sta-

tioned in New Londonare leading by example intheir off-duty time by vol-unteering at a local firecompany in Ledyard.

Culinary SpecialistFirst Class (SS/DV) AllenWilliford, Commander,Submarine Group 2 flagculinary specialist, volun-teers with the Gales FerryFire Department on aver-age about 16 hours permonth and underwentrequired training on Feb.16 to maintain his skill-set.

The qualification pro-

cess with the fire compa-ny is similar to submarinequalification procedures,in that, you are requiredto be knowledgeable onevery fire truck the firecompany maintains, saidWilliford.

The two-hour train-ing he and other volun-teer firefighters recentlyparticipated in at NavalSubmarine Base NewLondons pool consistedof water rescue.

We are training inwater rescue just in the

off chance a car descendsoff of a bridge and is sub-merged or if anyone istrapped or falls throughthe ice. We will have thetraining to assist, saidWilliford.

He added that everyvolunteer has to under-stand what the capabili-ties are for each fire truckand when and where theymight be needed.

Lieutenant WilliamMangan, who recentlycompleted the SubmarineOfficers Advanced Courseat the Naval Submarine

School is reporting to USSHelena (SSN 725), under-stands how vital volun-

teering is to the local com-munity. Mangan has beenvolunteering with theGales Ferry Fire Companyfor the past three years.He hopes to continue to

volunteer in his local com-munity when he arrivesin Norfolk.

During his lengthyvolunteer efforts inConnecticut, he hasreceived an EMT certifi-cation and a firefightercertification through theState of Connecticut.

When I grew up I wasalways involved in vol-unteer efforts and duringthe past three years whileon shore duty I have hadthe opportunity to helpout the local community,said Mangan. Everyone

who volunteers at the firecompany devotes hun-dreds of hours of volun-teer time and enjoys everyminute of it.

Mangan, who has afour-year old son said heenjoys his fathers vol-unteer efforts and at thesame time is receiving avaluable lesson on givingback to the community.

Its always good tohelp the community anddo a little bit extra whereyou can, said Mangan.

Ledyard Mayor John

Rodolico praised theefforts of all volunteerslike Williford and Manganand remarked on whatinherent value they pro-vide to the local com-munity.

Volunteers in our com-munity really make ourcommunity work, saidRodolico.

Williford has consis-tently volunteered withthe Gales Ferry FireCompany for the past fivemonths and has learned avariety of other skillsets.In the course of the other

training opportunities,he has gained awarenessof tool use and recogni-

tion; familiarity with thetrucks; and SCBA wearand use.

They have a lot oftools and you need toknow how to use themin every situation theymight be called for, saidWilliford.

Naval personnel not only are the most vital asset of our country, but locally,said Saccone. We at the Gales Ferry Fire Company depend on their volunteerismand skills in the support public safety in the Town of Ledyard.

Williford said his interest in volunteering with the fire company evolved afterencouragement from his family.

The Gales Ferry Fire Company is all based on volunteer support and the com-munity relies heavily on their commitment, said Williford. My wife took mykids to the fire house and she knew that I had been looking to volunteer my timein the community.

Williford added that he continues to volunteer with the Gales Ferry FireCompany because they dont require a minimum commitment, but rather acceptmy assistance and support when my schedule allows it.

Since volunteering, he has responded to two car vehicle collisions and otherrelated distress calls.

At the end of the day, Williford is definitely making an impact to the commu-nity, his fellow Sailors and especially with his two sons, ages three and four.

My sons tell their friends that their dad is a Sailor and a firefighter, saidWilliford. It makes me glad that I can be someone that they can look up to.

and Jeff Prough wereaccompanied by FrankBerrian III, and JoshuaDoyon during the visitto Naval Submarine BaseNew London. Berrianserves as the communi-ty relations director forthe Connecticut WhaleHockey Club and reflect-ed on the tie the hockeyteam has with both USSHartford and submarines.

Hockey startedin Hartford in 1974with the New EnglandWhalers of the WorldHockey Association,said Berrian. In 1979the team merged withthe National HockeyLeague and became theHartford Whalers.

Berrian added 17

years later in 1996,the owner of the teammoved the Whalers toNorth Carolina renam-ing them the CarolinaHurricanes. The fol-lowing year, the NewYork Rangers movedtheir minor league teamfrom Binghamton, NY toHartford, Conn., callingthem the Hartford WolfPack.

The name Wolf Packwas chosen because ofConnecticut being hometo the Submarine Base.

In fact their mascotwas named Sonar, saidBerrian.

Lena Blanch, NavalSubmarine Base NewLondon Public Affairs,worked with theHartford Wolf Pack togain permission fromthe U.S. Navy to use theUSS Seawolf logo in thelate 90s.

It was a wonderful

opportunity to work withthe team and introducethem to the U.S. Navy,said Blanch. Life has away of coming full circleand todays visit is a greatway to introduce newplayers to the Navy.

Berrian added that in2010 the sport teamsname was rebranded tobecome the ConnecticutWhale. The team is cur-rently tied for first place intheir division and third inthe Eastern Conference.

Berrian, who lives inColchester, Conn., servesas the assistant coach ofthe hockey team. His wifeis a librarian at the U.S.Coast Guard Academy.

I have spent manydays on the campus of

the Academy watch-ing submarines cruiseup the Thames River,said Berrian. Todaysvisit is a great opportu-nity for my teammatesto meet the crew of theHartford.

Wohlgemuth.Wohlgemuth also inter-

acts with another 400civilian personnel thatare assigned to NSSF andadded that while bothcivilians and Sailors mightnot wear the same uni-form, they are true patri-ots all the same.

Wohlgemuth reflectedon the lessons learnedthroughout his career andhow sharing this wisdomwith others is essentiallythe bedrock for the ChiefPetty Officer 365 program.

I love the fact that itgets the door open to thechiefs quarters, saidWohlgemuth. Im glad thatI get the chance to be a partof it and can see it grow.

The command masterchief also explained how thechiefs unity allows them toshare valuable experiencesand positively lead Sailors.

I think if we open thedoor and share what weknow it will motivate ourSailors to do better and sharewhat we know with them.If we dont engage them,they will be trained by theiractions, said Wohlgemuth.

Wohlgemuth has pre-viously deployed on foursubmarines to include USSHouston (SSN 713), USSColumbia (SSN 771), USS

Miami (SSN 755), and USSTexas (SSN 775)

to the junior Sailors aboard.The thing that I told

the new guys is to qualifyas fast as you can in what-ever helps your divisionor ship. Once you beginto be helpful to the shipmore people in turn willbe willing to help you,

said Wohlgemuth.He added that he believes

in three major pillars andtries to apply them regu-larly in his naval career:integrity, dedication todoing well personally andprofessionally, and stay-ing healthy.

In my naval career, Ihave always wanted toprovide good choices andopportunities, but at thesame time showing anddoing and walking thewalk are truly important,said Wohlgemuth.

Wohlgemuth added that

he looks forward to grow-ing in his present job andspending time with hiswife and two children.

The best is that myfather works on NavalSubmarine Base NewLondon and is employedby Naval Undersea

Warfare Center, butworks at the SubmarineLearning Center, saidWohlgemuth.

Wohlgemuths fatheralso served in the Navy,aboard Los Angeles-classsubmarine USS Augusta(SSN 710).

MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP)Office launched the Domino Strategy on How to Drink Responsibly campaign,officials said last week.

This social marketing campaign encourages Sailors to pay attention to the size,content and amount of alcohol they consume each time they drink, said DoriceFavorite, director, Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention. The strategy rec-ommends that Sailors follow responsible drinking guidelines defined by the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services.

Those guidelines advocate a 0-1-2 approach. Zero drinks for people who are under21, operating any type of vehicle, pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeed-

ing, recovering alcoholics or chemically dependent, and using certain medications.No more than one standard drink per day for women and no more than two standarddrinks per day for men.

The campaign is designed to help people who drink alcohol, reduce their riskof harming themselves or others. The strategy provides specific information thatenables people to compare their individual drinking pattern against a clear set oflow-risk guidelines. The Domino Strategy does not replace current prevention pro-grams; it adds depth to already existing initiatives, according to Favorite.

The messages of the Domino Strategy are divided into three phases. The firstphase asks the question Do you count?, helping Sailors make the connectionbetween counting drinks and reducing personal risk. The second and third phaseeducate Sailors on what constitutes a standard drink and encourages Sailors topay attention to the content of their drink by asking How big is it? and Whatsinside?

Were not telling people not to drink if they are of age to drink but we wantthem to drink responsibly. Substance abuse reduces a commands ability to accom-plish its mission and is inconsistent with Navy core values, said Favorite.

Alcohol and drug abuse can seriously damage an individuals physical and

mental health, jeopardize their safety and the safety of others, can lead to criminalprosecution, and can result in unfavorable separation from naval service.

The campaign will include posters, outdoor banners, table tents, pamphlets, andTV/Radio public service announcements. All materials are available at no cost toall Navy commands for ordering through the Navy Logistics Library. Supply per-sonnel may order them via https://nll1.ahf.nmci.navy.mil (for NMCI computers)or http://www.navsup.navy.mil/navsup (if NMCI is not available).

Navy adopts Domino Strategyon how to drink responsibly By April PhillipsNaval Safety Center Public AffairsNORFOLK, Va. - The

Naval Safety Center(NAVSAFECEN) offersresources to help man-age driving risks.

Fiscal year 2011 wasthe safest on record interms of four-wheelmotor vehicle fatalities.Car and truck opera-tors did a great job ofmanaging the risks ofdriving. However, mid-

way through the sec-ond quarter of FY2012,fatalities are in dangerof creeping back up.

As of Feb. 1, fourSailors have lost theirlives in four-wheel per-sonal motor vehicle(PMV) fatalities, com-pared to one at the sametime in 2011. Motorcyclefatality rates are static,with three so far thisfiscal year - the same aslast year at this time.

N A V S A F E C E N sCommand Master ChiefDominick Torchia

recently released aSafety Broadcast,a one-page fact sheetoutlining timely infor-mation about vari-ous trending topics.His most recent covers

PMV statistics, risk fac-tors and resources forimprovement.

While we made bigstrides in reducing thenumber of four-wheelmotor vehicle fatalitieslast year, this is no timeto declare victory, saidTorchia. Be aware ofthe biggest risk factors -speed, alcohol, fatigue,ejection and distractions- and do everything youcan to manage thoserisks.

Those risk factors -

speed, alcohol, fatigueand ejections (lack ofseat belts) and distrac-tions (SAFE-D) - accountfor the vast majority ofmotor vehicle mishapsin the Navy and nation-wide. Motorcycle fatali-ties are also a continu-ing concern, with theirown set of risk factors.However, the biggestrisk factor Sailors faceis completely withintheir control - training.

The biggest chal-lenge we face is clos-ing the last tactical

mile with regard toadvanced motorcycletraining, said Torchia.Every sportbike rideris required to takethe Military SportbikeRider Course (MSRC),

but right now there areabout 2,000 sportbikeriders who have notcompleted it. This train-ing has proven value.Nine out of 12 sport-bike riders who died inFY11 had not attendedthe course.

Torchia said the MSRCis provided at no cost toSailors and is designedto be completed duringthe workday. No leaveis required to attend thecourse. It covers boththe different physical

handling characteristicsand the required mentalattitudes for safe opera-tion of these high-per-formance machines.

The MSRC was createdafter a spike in motor-cycle fatalities in 2008,when 33 Sailors lost theirlives while riding. Afteran initial training push,the number fell to 13in FY2010, but crept upslightly to 16 in FY11.Eliminating all prevent-able PMV fatalitiesremains a top priority forNAVSAFECEN.
