CMC CornerWe have a Solid Curtain

By R. Mark CummingsNAS Patuxent RiverCommand Master Chief

Do you know the nameof the United StatesNavy's first submarine?

It was the USS Holland.The Holland was a 64-ton experimental

submarine, built at Elizabethport, New Jerseyfrom the design of submarine pioneer John P.Holland. The construction was a private ven-ture of the John P. Holland Torpedo BoatCompany and represented an alternative tothe joint Navy-Holland venture that producedthe unsuccessful submarine Plunger of 1895.

Launched in mid-May 1897 and complet-ed early the following year, Holland ran exten-sive trials during 1898-1899, undergoing con-stant modification. As a very interested party,

the Navy followed the new submarine's activ-ities closely and, on April 11, 1900, purchasedher with funds provided under an 1896 au-thorization.

Placed in commission as USS Holland inOctober 1900, she was towed from Newport,Rhode Island to the U.S. Naval Academy atAnnapolis, Md. With the exception of somefour months at Newport in mid-1901, she pri-marily operated in the Chesapeake Bay areaon training and developmental duty for therest of the decade, based initially at Annapolisand, after mid-1905, at Norfolk, Va.

The USS Holland was always an experi-mental vessel, though she was the Navy's firstreasonably satisfactory submarine and a greatachievement in the development of underseawarfare. New submarines were soon pro-duced that overcame many of her deficien-cies, and by 1910 she was thoroughly obso-lete. Holland was stricken from the Navy Reg-ister in November of that year and sold forscrapping in June 1913.

History and Heritage Note

O’Malley declares April‘Month of Military Child’

By R. Mark CummingsNAS Patuxent RiverCommand Master Chief

Unless you were in a deep sleep all lastweek, you know we were in the midst of avery important securityexercise: SolidCurtain/Citadel Shield.During the exercise, wewere able to evaluate oursecurity and emergencyresponse to simulatedreal-world scenarios, test-ing our ability to operateif emergent circum-stances impacted ourmission.

The end discovery ofthe week's events wasthat our installation andits security personnel, to include our out-standing emergency management team,are ready to handle whatever real-worldcrises we may encounter. We can rest as-sured that we are safe to come to work hereonboard Naval Air Station Patuxent Riverand meet the demanding missions that weachieve, day in and day out.

But let's not act surprised by this out-come. Our base security department and

emergency management team do thisevery day. In fact, they do it so very well thatwe tend to take them for granted. They areour constant solid curtain of defenseagainst threats and our life savers whenfire, accident, injury or illness strikes some-

one onboard.Next time you come

through the gates andmeet a sentry, let themknow how much you ap-preciate them for whatthey do in keeping peopleoff the installation whomay want to do us harm.Next time you run into aMaster at Arms, AuxiliarySecurity Force member, oruniformed patrolman outand about, tell them howmuch you appreciatewhat they do to protect

you every day. And the next time you runinto one of our emergency dispatchers,firefighters, or ambulance personnel, letthem know how reassuring it is to knowthat we have such talented and skilled firstresponders onboard this Naval Air Stationto save lives if needed.

We are very blessed to have our securityand public safety providers. Let's never for-get they are our constant solid curtain.

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malleysigned a proclamation on March 19, declar-ing April 2012 as Month of the MilitaryChild, the first such declaration to be madein the state of Maryland.

More than 40 thousand military chil-dren live in Maryland. So-called "militarybrats" make huge sacrifices due to the greatdemands on their parents.

"While we often recognize the activeduty or reserve service member, it is impor-tant to remember that 'kids serve, too,' intheir schools, their neighborhoods, theircommunities," said Mohsberg.

Around NAS Patuxent River, localschools are joining in the commitment tohonor military children this April.

"It is wonderful that the Month of theMilitary Child is being recognized by theState of Maryland," said NAS Patuxent Riv-er school Liaison Officer Dawn Simpson. "Itwill also be recognized at the local level byour school systems, many of which areplanning events and activities to honor ourmilitary children."

Jennifer Dailey-Perkins, Regional SchoolLiaison Officer for Naval District Washing-ton, said that April has been a month tohonor children from military families since1986, when Secretary of Defense CasparWeinberger requested that members of allthe military branches take that time espe-cially to commend military children for sto-ically enduring the trials they often face.

"Since then, each April, military installa-tions around the world honor our young he-roes with special activities and events,

specifically for them," said Dailey-Perkins."These festivities let them know that theyare valued and supported."

Beyond recognizing military childrenfor their sacrifices, the month is also beingused to remind service families that thereare resources available for them. Each in-stallation in NDW has a School Liaison Of-ficer "who is available to offer assistance tomilitary families who have school-agedchildren with transition and deploymentneeds."

"Additionally, our entire NDW Child andYouth Program team stand ready to assistour military children and take pause thismonth to celebrate their achievements,"said Dailey-Perkins.

NAVAIR leaders represented the com-mand at a women's leadership symposiumMarch 5-6, at what is believed to be the largestgathering of military women ever.

More than 1,700 women attended the2012 Sea Service Leadership Association JointWomen's Leadership Symposium, represent-ing all five branches of the service.

"It was rejuvenating to be in the companyof more than 1,700 women, not only from allservices of the U.S. Armed Forces, but alsofrom the military services of other nations,"said Lt. Cmdr. Rose Jimenez, one of severalwomen representing NAVAIR at the sympo-sium.

The number of attendees at this and othersimilar events increases each year.

"The more you can see equal opportunity,the more you can pursue it," said Capt.Michelle Guidry, who also attended the event.

The symposium, held in National Harbor,Md., fostered education and career develop-ment and focused on the challenges and op-portunities women face while serving in themilitary and civilian sectors. Attendees en-gaged in networking and mentoring oppor-tunities and learned about leadership, team-building, persuasion and financial manage-ment.

Jimenez said she learned about the suc-cess women have had in the military and in-dustry, including some recent "firsts," such asthe first women being assigned to submarineservice.

"I expect that women will always be theminority gender in the military services, so it'simportant for us to gather and collectivelywork to help each other thrive in our organi-zations," she said. "I'm hopeful that in mylifetime, the newsworthy part of the storywon't be gender."

The symposium was held during NationalWomen's History Month, which celebratesthe spirit, courage and contributions ofAmerican women throughout history.

Women have served in and with the Navysince the American Revolution and becamean official part of the Navy with the establish-ment of the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908. Morethan 54,000 active duty women and morethan 10,000 female reservists currently servein the Navy, comprising 17.1 percent of the

Navy Total Force. Today, women also com-prise more than one third of the Departmentof Defense civilian workforce.

"It's important that we embrace history,we learn from history," Guidry said.

Guidry, a self-proclaimed Army brat,joined the Navy because of the opportunitiesit afforded to women at the time. She was oneof the first of three women qualified to fly theS-3 Viking and deployed onboard USS CarlVinson in 1996 to the Persian Gulf.

Currently, she serves as the program man-ager of PMA-207, the Tactical Airlift, Adver-sary and Support Aircraft Program Office.

"I think the military is no different fromany other equal opportunity employer," shesaid. "A person who is capable of doing workshould be allowed to do work."

NAVAIR's Women's Advisory Group, es-tablished in 2011, is part of the command'sefforts to bolster equal opportunities forwomen.

The WAG is one of three sub-teams oper-ating under NAVAIR's Executive DiversityCouncil, a senior leadership group that pro-vides guidance, advocacy and support in ar-eas related to workforce diversity and inclu-sion. The WAG makes recommendations toNAVAIR senior leaders on topics such as fam-ily-friendly work policies; science, technology,engineering and mathematics initiatives andmentorship.

NAVAIR has seen growth in the past fiveyears of its female workforce, notably in thescience, engineering and acquisition pro-gram management sectors.

With a focus on advanced avionics andweapons technologies, NAVAIR offers womena variety of technical career paths, even thosethat have traditionally been occupied by men.In 2007, women represented approximately14 percent of STEM positions at NAVAIR. In2011, women accounted for approximately15 percent of all positions - an increase of ap-proximately 250 women now working inSTEM careers.

"The most important advice to womenwho want to pursue STEM careers is to haveconfidence and go for it," said Leslie Taylor,director of flight test engineering and co-leadof the WAG.

As of February 2012, 32 females, includingTaylor, have been selected into the Senior Ex-ecutive Service at NAVAIR. The first femaleNAVAIR SES member was Elizabeth Beggs,

Michele De Moss-CowardNAVAIR'S National Mentoring Team

Representatives across many federal agencies met March13 to discuss issues facing mentoring programs. Topics in-cluded, Bridging the Gap: How to Effectively Leverage theStrengths of Each Generation in Today's Workforce; Emo-tional Intelligence and the Mentoring Relationship; Can aVirtual Government-Wide Mentors Program Really Work;and It Can Work: Ideas to Sustain and Invigorate MentoringEfforts.

As lead of NAVAIR's national Mentoring Team, I also pre-sented an overview of NAVAIR'S Mentoring Program's revi-talization.

Federal agencies invest in a mentoring program for thesame reasons as private industry: it makes good businesssense. Mentoring programs positively impact workforce-centric issues that include: job satisfaction, productivity, pro-

fessional development, recruiting, retention and successionplanning.

In response to the December 2011 Climate Survey, theMentoring Externally Directed Team was chartered to assistDonna Belcher, NAVAIR's Mentoring Program Manager, byfocusing efforts to increase awareness and participationacross the 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 competencies.

Members of the team contacted NAVAIR employees to so-licit comments from customers regarding the Mentor Pro-gram and the iMentor tool, ultimately developing their four-phased revitalization approach based upon many of thoseinsights. The approach includes having Gary Kessler, deputyassistant commander for Test and Evaluation/Naval AirWar-fare Center Aircraft Division executive director (AIR 5.0); JesseMcCurdy, deputy assistant commander for Research and En-gineering (AIR 4.0) and Garry Newton, deputy assistant com-mander Logistics and Industrial Operations (AIR 6.0) as"Champions" of the Mentoring Program; making enhance-

ments to the iMentor tool to give it greater social media"look, feel, and appeal"; recognizing existing mentors as wellmeeting one-on-one to encourage participation and moni-toring and evaluating efforts towards success.

In addition to confirming NAVAIR's revitalization effortsincorporated industry-wide "best practices," agency repre-sentatives viewed NAVAIR's revitalization strategy and im-plementation as "very informative, cutting edge, just whatour agency needs, well designed and replicable." The Nation-al Mentoring Team has offered to mentor other federal agen-cies in attendance on NAVAIR's successes and capitalize onthe shared learning opportunities of an expanded networkof professionals that share the same high interest in devel-oping successful mentoring programs.

It is such a privilege to be involved in this effort for ourworkforce and the fact our efforts resonated so well with oth-er federal agencies now presents the opportunity to assistthem with this important endeavor.

Point Lookout Lighthouse shines a littlebrighter, thanks to NTWL volunteers

9Thursday, March 29, 2012 9Thursday, March 29, 2012 9Thursday, March 29, 2012

Story and photos by Gary YoungerNAS Patuxent River Public Affairs

It was once called one of the mosthaunted lighthouses in America, but it wasthe weeds that were making the PointLookout Lighthouse look really scary.Thanks to the hard work of about a dozenpeople from Naval Test Wing Atlantic, thelighthouse at Point Lookout State Parklooks a lot more inviting as it prepares toopen its doors to the public for the season.

“Normally we have about six to eightdedicated volunteers,” said Robert Hall, Pt.Lookout Lighthouse Preservation Societypresident. “Having the Navy come outhelps us exponentially.”

The volunteers from NTWL, both mili-tary and civilian, spent last Friday weeding,cleaning up sidewalks, scrubbing floorsand generally making the lighthouse lookbetter. Built in 1830, the lighthouse needs alot of work. Since PLLPS is a private organ-ization with few fundraising opportunities,volunteer assistance is crucial.

Naval Counselor Chief Ryan Marlatt isinstrumental in coordinating the commu-nity relations endeavor for NTWL.

“My son, Lucas, and I volunteer here asa father and son project,” Marlatt said. Lu-cas, 8, had learned about the lighthousefrom a former TV show entitled “MysteryHunters.” When the Marlatt family movedto NAS Patuxent River, they happily discov-ered how close Point Lookout Lighthousewas. The elder Marlatt then introduced hisson to volunteering and giving back to thecommunity.

“When you give Lucas a job, he stickswith it,” Hall said. “He’s got great focus.”

Marlatt then arranged to broaden theeffort and bring in colleagues. “I thought itwould be a great way to get our office to-gether to do some hard work outside the of-fice,” he said.

Julie Richard, civilian budget analystwith NTWL, agrees.

“I think this is great,” she said, taking abreak from clearing grass that was over-growing a sidewalk. “It gets me out of theoffice for a bit to help out.”

The PLLPS is beginning a new season inApril and has open houses of the lighthousethe first weekend of each month throughNovember. For more information, go tohttp://pllps.org.

Deadline to File and Requesting an Exten-sion April 15 of each year is usually the duedate for filing your federal individual incometax return for the previous calendar year. In

2012, however, the deadline is Tuesday, April17 due to the fact that April 15 falls on a Sun-day and April 16 is Emancipation Day, a holi-day observed in the District of Columbia.

“Launch at Sundown”By Phillip West

By Derek NelsonNaval Safety Center,Norfolk, Va.

The latest edition of theSummary of Mishaps goesbest while listening to track two from "Sounds of theShoot-Out: Gunfights from the Golden Era of the WildWest." Tell the sawbones to saddle up, make sure he hasplenty of bandages, and hightail it on over to the Not-O.K. Corral.The rest of you, hope you aren't wearing yourSunday finest, because this one is going to be messy.

A lance corporal invited a corporal over to his houseto show off his new .357 Sig ("Delivers penetration andaccuracy," according to the headline of a magazine arti-cle about this weapon).The corporal offered to clean thepistol, but when he tried to unload it, "Kerblammo!" Hefired a round through his hand and into the lance cor-poral's thigh.

The round didn't hit any bones or arteries, so the E-3was treated and released that day. The corporal had sur-gery on his hand and got out of the hospital four dayslater. Both were on light duty for three months.

You don't need much accuracy from one inch away,and penetration usually isn't much of an issue fromthere, either.

I read yet another report about a basketball injury re-cently. The victim was an E-5 watching a game on tele-vision at a restaurant.

He started celebrating and threw up his hands. Hisjubilation was short-lived, though, because when helowered his arms, he smashed a glass with one of hishands and sliced open a finger.

Faithful, perceptive readers of this message have no-ticed that I'm an English major.This isn't to say that I ammajoring in English. That boat left the dock a long timeago. No, it's more a permanent state of being. It means Ihave a poster in my office containing this quote: "No onewho has once taken the language under his care can everagain be really happy." It means that when driving toFlorida, I loudly scoff at a misused apostrophe on a bill-board. And it means that you, dear reader, get some oc-casional grammar guidance, sprinkled in with our on-going lessons about risk mismanagement.

Here's what a mishap report said: "Service memberburned his left thigh with a boiling hot pot of water fromwhom he was boiling corn with."

To an English major, a sentence like this is like a steakbone to a hound dog. The multiple redundancies, theconvolution, the misuse of prepositions that reaches analmost mystical level. Here's one lesson learned fromthis terrific sentence: Many people are confused aboutwhen to use "who" and when to use "whom." Both arewrong in this case.

That's all for this week, friends and neighbors. Untilwe meet again, remember: Two heads are only betterthan one when both of them are alert and managingrisks. When one is distracted and the other is confused,or when one is under the influence and the other wasn'tall that smart to begin with, then one plus one equalsabout one-half.
