Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD) leaders briefedChief of Naval Operations(CNO) Adm. JonathanGreenert on technologiesranging from the electro-magnetic railgun to the la-ser weapon system duringhis visit here Sept. 4.

The CNO spoke to Sail-ors and civilian technolo-gists about the great impactof emerging capabilities onthe current and future fleetduring an All Hands call heldafter his tour.

“You are the test andevaluation national trea-sure that makes the surfacefleet more lethal and moresurvivable,” Greenert toldmore than 400 military,government, and contrac-tor personnel from NavalSupport Facility Dahlgren,NSWCDD, Aegis Trainingand Readiness Center, Cen-ter for Surface Combat Sys-tems, Aegis Ballistic MissileDefense, Joint Warfare andAnalysis Center, and the614th Air and Space Opera-tions Center.

The national treasure heobserved included NSWCDD

facilities where real-timespectrum operations and di-rected energy technologiessuch as the laser weaponsystem and electromagneticrailgun are under a continualstate of research, develop-ment, test and evaluation.

“I am really excited - youare taking concepts and put-ting it in the fleet for what is,up until now, record time,”said Greenert, pointing outthat NSWCDD scientistsand engineers are integrat-ing the laser weapon system

into the USS Ponce (AFSB-I),an Austin-class amphibioustransport dock.

“We have to continue toturn this cycle faster and fast-er,” saidGreenert, standingona stage facing a 16-inch navalgundisplayedat the endof the

Air Force Master Sgt. Ni-cole S. Snowden of the JointWarfare Analysis Center(JWAC) received the LanceP. Sijan USAF LeadershipAward for 2014 for junior en-listed, JWAC’s commandingofficer, Navy Capt. R. Chan-dler Swallowannounced.

Snowden distinguishedherself as superintendent ofJWAC’s human resource di-vision from 1 July 2013 to 30June2014. In this role, shesu-perbly managed fifteen jointprograms for four servicescomprised of 42military and364 civilians. Additionally, asthe command’s Senior En-

listed Leader, she mentoredJWAC’s fourteen militarymembers, three of whomwere recognized as MilitaryMember of the Year, Sailor ofthe Year, and Airman Lead-ership School DistinguishedGraduate.

“Receiving this award isan honor,” Snowden said. “Ibelieve that discipline andleadership are the most im-portant aspects of success.”

Originally from Phila-delphia, Penn., Snowdenjoined the Air Force in 2001and reported to JWAC inAugust 2013. Before comingto JWAC, Snowden was sta-tioned at Moody Air ForceBase in Georgia where sheadvised 21 senior leaders on

promotion procedures andeliminated a backlog of 2,000updates ensuring accuratepersonnel records. Her lead-ership and devotion resultedin two “Excellent” ratingsduring a Phase I Opera-tional Readiness Inspectionand Health Services Inspec-tion. For her achievements,she was selected as the 23dWing’s 2013 A1 Non-Com-missionedOfficerof theYear.

Other assignments haveincluded the 15th MissionSupportSquadronatHickamAir ForceBase,Hawaiiwhereshe was selected Airman ofthe Year for 2003. She hasbeen awarded the Air ForceCommendation Medal, sec-ond oak leaf cluster, and the

Air Force AchievementMed-al, secondoak leaf cluster.

Describing her plans forthe future, Snowden said she

wants to remain in the AirForce and become “the bestsenior non-commissionedofficer I canbe.”

“If I do that, I will alwaysbe impacting the lives of oth-ers,” Snowden said. “Peopleare my biggest reward andknowing that my leadershipdirectly or indirectly willshape andmold the future oftheAir Force.”

feat and stay ahead of that -andbewhere itmatters,whenitmatters.”

The installation of thelaser weapon system onPonce for at-sea testingin the Persian Gulf fulfillsplans the CNO announcedat the 2013 Sea-Air-SpaceExpo. The deployment onPonce will prove crucial asthe Navy continues its pushto provide laser weapons tothe fleet at large.

The CNO - who observedan electromagnetic railgunfiring - described the tech-nology as “our future sur-face weapon” during the AllHands event to be availablevideo on-demand via theNSWCDD internal websiteto the command’s 6,000 pluspersonnel comprised of gov-ernment civilians, contrac-tors, and military members.

The electromagnetic rail-gun launcher is a long-rangeweapon that fires projectilesusing electricity instead ofchemical propellants. Mag-netic fields created by highelectrical currents acceleratea slidingmetal conductor, orarmature, between two railsto launch projectiles at 4,500mph to 5,600 miles per hour.

Moreover, Greenert con-siders the system a revo-lutionary technology thatgives the Navy an extremelyaffordable, multi-missionweapon with a deep maga-zine and unmatched preci-sion, targeting and controlfunctions. Since lasers runon electricity, they can befired as long as there is pow-er and provide a measure ofsafety as they don’t requirecarrying propellants andexplosives aboard ships.The advancing technol-ogy gives Sailors a varietyof options they never hadbefore, including the abilityto control a laser weapon’soutput and perform actionsranging from non-lethaldisabling and deterrence allthe way up to destruction.

The CNO congratulatedthree NSWCDD employeesas Capt. Mary Feinberg, Na-val Support Activity SouthPotomac commanding of-ficer, read award citationscommending their role inturning ships into warships.Greenert later recountedfor all hands in attendancethat NSWCDD CommanderCapt. Brian Durant present-ed himwith a coin inscribedwith the command’s slogan,“we don’t build ships, weturn them into warships”.

The three employeesreceiving awards were Dr.James Moreland, MichaelPurello and Kevin Stottlar.

The CNO presented Mo-reland with the Navy Dis-tinguished Civilian ServiceAward for his leadership onan extensive range of naval,joint and coalition effortsto develop and implementinnovative strategic con-cepts to shape future re-quirements, organizationalstrategy, and operationaldoctrine under strict con-straints and timelines. “Dr.Moreland demonstratedthis expertise by imple-menting a structured mis-sion engineering approachfor the Vice Chief of NavalOperations Integration andInteroperability Activity

to emphasize capability-based requirements,” ac-cording to the citation.

Greenert presented theNavy Superior Civilian Ser-vice Award to Purello in rec-ognition of significant lead-ership as NSWCDD Chemi-cal, Biological and Radio-logical Defense (CBRD)Division Head. “Purello ledthe unprecedented techni-cal advancements of theCBRD Division and pro-

pelled NSWC Dahlgren Di-vision to the forefront of theJoint Service and interna-tional CBRD community,”according to the citation.“In addition, Mr. Purello’scoordination efforts in theaftermath of the radiologi-cal contamination event atFukushima, Japan, led toNAVSEA (Naval Sea SystemsCommand)establishing theDahlgren Radiological Con-trol Data Center. Finally,

he led NSWCDD’s highlysuccessful 2013 Individualswith Targeted Disabilitiescampaign, thereby demon-strating his commitment tothe human aspect of tech-nology development.”

The CNO presented theNavy Superior Civilian Ser-vice Award to Stottlar forhis outstanding service,technical expertise, andsuperior leadership in sup-port of advancing weaponand combat system safetyengineering. “Throughouthis Navy career, his dedica-tion to advancing weaponand combat system safetyengineering has led to en-hanced safety engineeringprocesses and methodolo-gies, and has resulted insafer, more effective AE-GIS and AEGIS BallisticMissile Defense capabili-ties being deployed in theFleet,” according to thecitation. “Mr. Stottlar hasinfluenced U.S. Navy sys-tems safety policy and hasexpanded the scope of sys-tem safety engineering for

foreign military sales.”The CNO is the senior

military officer of the De-partment of the Navy. TheCNO is a four star admiraland is responsible to thesecretary of the Navy forthe command, utilizationof resources, and operatingefficiency of the operatingforces of the Navy and ofthe Navy shore activities as-signed by the Secretary.

NSWCDD, a NAVSEAwarfare center division,is a premier research anddevelopment center thatserves as a specialty site forweapon system integration.The command’s uniqueability to rapidly introducenew technology into com-plex warfighting systems isbased on its longstandingcompetencies in scienceand technology, researchand development, and testand evaluation.

By Rear Adm.Rick SnyderDirector, 21stCentury Sailor Office

September is Navy Sui-cide Prevention Month andthe launch pad for year-longengagement across the Navy,ultimately fostering sustain-able efforts that support opencommunication, resilienceand seeking help as a sign ofstrength. We’re all in this to-gether.

Suicide affects everyone,and suicide prevention is anall hands effort - all of thetime. We can make a differ-ence through our everydayactions. In September, we

join the global community tohighlight suicide prevention.

Last September, we fo-cused on what we can doas communities to supportand help our shipmates. Thisyear, we’ll zero in on what wecan do as individuals, on adaily basis, to continue thatsupport.

The 2014 Navy SuicidePrevention Month theme is“Every Sailor, Every Day.” Weare encouraging every mem-ber of our Navy team, fromshipmates, to leaders, to civil-ian employees, to family andfriends, to set a positive ex-ample, reach out and engagewith one another. Buildingresilience and preventing sui-

cide require all of us to ac-tively communicate with eachother, and not just when wethink someone is in immedi-ate danger. Everyday actions,that foster trust and buildmeaningful connections, canstart or continue conversa-tions so we can more effec-tively intervene when we seesigns of a shipmate in distress.By actively communicatingand staying engaged, we maybe more likely to notice smallsigns of distress in our ship-mates and intervene early,before a crisis occurs.

I challenge you to be therefor Every Sailor, Every Day,through meaningful, inten-tional actions. Take time to

ask others how they are do-ing-and actively listen. As ViceAdm. Nathan, Navy SurgeonGeneral, reminds us, we mustespecially connect with thosewho are transitioning fromone job to another, experienc-ing career setbacks or somesort of loss, or going throughrelationship troubles. Starta dialogue to support eachother during stressful times.Share strategies to navigatechallenges, including speak-ing up and seeking help. Weare a Navy team, and none ofus are ever alone.

Another way you can sup-port “Every Sailor, Every Day”is by Pledging to ACT (Ask,Care, Treat). It’s a voluntary

commitment to yourself andothers, and one of the manyways we can be there forevery Sailor, every day, byevery Sailor, every day. Visithttps://survey.max.gov/in-dex.php/437524/lang-en to“Pledge to ACT” today, andurge your shipmates to dothe same.

I encourage commandsto highlight Suicide Preven-tion Month in their own way.Talk about bystander inter-vention, peer support andthe many ways each of uscan lead by example when itcomes to physical and psy-chological health, showingthat it’s okay to speak upwhen you’re down.

Resources will be releasedon www.suicide.navy.milthroughout the month tosupport your efforts. Eachday, we have an opportunityto make a difference-andthose opportunities may endup saving lives.

For more information andvarious resources for NavySuicide Prevention Month,visit www.suicide.navy.mil.

If you or someone youknow is in immediate danger,call 911. If you or someoneyou know is in crisis, help isjust a call or click away. Callthe Military Crisis Line at1-800-273-TALK (option 1)or visit www.veteranscrisis-line.net.

Naval Support FacilityDahlgren Child DevelopmentCenter Director Lois Davissaid she wants to look out“first and foremost” for thebest interest of the childrenand help them develop ap-propriately. She also wants todo whatever she can to helpthe staff grow professionally.

“I want to make this thebest CDC that we can,” shesaid. Davis also wants to getthe Dahlgren CDC accreditedthrough the National Associa-tion of Educating Young Chil-dren by June 2016.

“It’s a long process,” Davissaid. “In my past experience,I’ve been through accredita-tion a number of times beforeso that will help me to help thestaff know how to get throughthe process.”

Davis, who’s worked forCDCs all over the world in theNavy for 23 years, took over atDahlgren on July 14 and leadsa center with a capacity of 168,spanning two buildings. Thereare four age groups of children— infants (six weeks to 12months), pre-toddlers (one-year olds), toddlers (two-yearolds) and preschoolers (agesthree to five) — with threeclassrooms for each group.Once a child enters Kindergar-

ten, they are no longer eligiblefor the CDC program andwould go to the Youth Center,Davis added.

At the CDC staff membershelp children with their social,emotional and cognitive skills;and language and physical de-velopment.

“Everything we do hasa reason behind it,’” Davissaid. The Navy uses “creativecurriculum” and she said theCDC is behind that tool 100percent.

“The staff has a good un-derstanding of how to speakand interact appropriatelywith the children,” Davis said.“Everybody seems to be verywilling to learn and they wel-comed me with open arms.They’ve been without a direc-tor for a little bit.”

Davis said from what she’sseen so far, everyone has acaring, nurturing attitudeand aren’t there just for themoney.

“I’ve been at some centerswhere you knew people werethere solely for a paycheck,”she said. In addition to thestaff and the children, there isanother group that the CDCtries to comfort - the parents.

“At any CDC, it’s importantthat we have an ‘open-door’policy,” Davis said. “Any par-ent can come in at any timeand interact with their child,see what’s going on and be

a part of it. We want them tofeel that this is their center asmuch as their child’s. I’ve hada lot of good interactions withparents, talking with them andtrying to answer questions.”

Leading an organizationin charge of young childrenrequires an ability to nurture,but can also benefit fromsomeone who emphasizesrules and consistency.

“I’ve always been a ‘poli-cy-and-procedures’ person,”Davis said. “I believe ‘If I dofor one, I do for all,’ and I’ll tryto do whatever is in the bestinterest of all the children.”When children are growingand experiencing new thingsthat sentiment can help turn

a frown upside down.“If you’ve had a rough day,

all you need to do is go downthe hall and see one of thechildren smile and it takes ev-erything else away,” she said.Davis, a mother of two adultsons, tries to help new parentsget over the stumbling blocksthat can be associated withhaving young children.

“I’ve been able to under-stand how children behaveand I’m also able to look at aparents’ point of view... andunderstand where they arecoming from. Being a militaryspouse helps me understandthe Navy life,” Davis said.

The CDC is open 6 a.m. to 6p.m., Monday through Friday.

Area military families are invited to join the DCMilitary Family Life staff in honoring our World War II veterans on

Saturday, September 13.

Veterans will be arriving into Reagan National Airport on September 13, and there are several ways you can

participate throughout the day:

• Welcome 90 veterans at the US Airways, Terminal C at 10:02am to salute and cheer their arrival.

• Salute these veterans as they visit the World War II Memorial on the National Mall from 2:30pm – 3:45pm.

• At the end of the day, you can help bid farewell after their full day of touring as they return to Reagan National

Airport at 6:30pm.

Look for a special pullout banner in the August 15th issue of DCMilitary Family Life, or visit

DCMilitary.com/honorflight to download a special welcome banner to customize and hold

as you greet our veterans. Our photographers will be on hand to snap a photo of your family

with your personal banner for future publication.

Help DCMilitary Family Life and Comprint honor our veterans and meet other military

families while you are volunteering. It will be the perfect way to spend a Saturday in D.C.
