Since 1980, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietet-ics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) hasbeen encouraging Americans to return to the basicsof healthy eating during National Nutrition Month.This year’s theme, “Get Your Plate in Shape”, encour-ages everyone to ensure that they are eating the rec-ommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, pro-tein foods, and dairy each day.

How do you know what the recommendedamounts are? In June 2011, the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture launched MyPlate (www.choose-myplate.gov), replacing the iconic food pyramid. Theplate is divided into four sections – fruits and vegeta-bles (half the plate), grains (about one quarter of theplate), proteins (a little less than a quarter of the

If one's a doctor and the Presidentof the United States is their patient,there's bound to be a lot of pressure.However, Adm. Eleanor "Connie" Mar-iano (ret.) was up to the challenge as thefirst woman Physician to the Presidentfrom 1993 to 2001.

Mariano was born in 1955 at formerNaval Station Sangley Point, roughlyeight miles southwest of Manila, Philip-pines, as a daughter of a steward in theNavy. Her family moved to the UnitedStates two years later. After graduatingfrom high school as valedictorian in1973, she attended Revelle College atUniversity of California, San Diego,where she matriculated with cum laude

honors."I came to the White House by way

of the kitchen," Mariano said to an au-dience in 2001. "I came from a family ofNavy stewards."

Mariano then joined the Navy in1977 where she attended the Uni-formed Services University of theHealth Sciences on the campus of theformer National Naval Medical Centerin Bethesda, Maryland, and received amedical degree in 1981. After her in-ternship, Mariano was assigned to theUSS Prairie (AD 15) and served asphysician to her complement of overfive-hundred Sailors.

Following other appointments in-cluding as Head of Internal Medicine atthe Naval Hospital in San Diego, she

Shorter wait times at Naval District Wash-ington's (NDW) perimeter checkpoints aregood news for everyone; Navy Commercial Ac-cess Control System (NCACS) has improved ef-ficiency, particularly at the Washington NavyYard's Pass and I.D. office.

While improving security is one benefit ofNCACS, another tangible goal is to improveproductivity at installations' Pass and I.D. of-fices. The system streamlines enrollment, in-spection, approving credentials and, in "nearreal-time," electronically validating credentials.

"The contractors don't get held up at thegate; it is wonderful," said Daryl Colter, head ofthe Pass and I.D. office at the Washington NavyYard.

This rapidity is key to some of the successenjoyed by NCACS. For participants andguards, since a simple and quick scan is what'srequired by the system, time that might havebeen previously wasted on repeatedly check-

ing papers and license plates has been reducedsignificantly.

"TechnologyinsertionsuchasNCACSallowsus to leverage on technology to provide quickeraccess and save manpower manually checkingon personnel who need access to the installa-tion,"saidBrianKelm,deputycommandingof-ficer for Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSAAnnapolis). "It saves personnel costs and in-creases the efficiency of the operation."

In order to obtain installation accessthrough NCACS a vender or contractor can vis-it any Pass and I.D. office and input requireddata into an NCACS kiosk. Once the informa-tion is entered into the system and the govern-ment office receiving the service verifies the re-quest as legitimate, the contractor or vendor'scompany is billed for the background check.After all funds are received, a backgroundcheck is conducted and, with a clear record,credentials are issued.

With these credentials in hand, contractors

The RapidGate kiosks, used by contractors enrolling in NCACS, collect avariety of information for use in background checks. After that process iscompleted, an approved contractor is issued credentials that provide ac-cess to an installation.

From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Navy Alcohol and DrugAbuse Prevention (NADAP) Office launched the "DominoStrategy on How to Drink Responsibly" campaign, officialssaid Feb. 29.

"This social marketing campaign encourages Sailors to payattention to the size, content and amount of alcohol they con-sume each time they drink," said Dorice Favorite, director,Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention. "The strategy rec-ommends that Sailors follow responsible drinking guidelinesdefined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Serv-ices."

Those guidelines advocate a 0-1-2 approach: Zero drinksfor people who are under 21, operating any type of vehicle,pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding, recov-ering alcoholics or chemically dependent, and using certainmedications. No more than one standard drink per day forwomen and no more than two standard drinks per day formen.

The campaign is designed to help people who drink alco-hol, reduce their risk of harming themselves or others. Thestrategy provides specific information that enables people tocompare their individual drinking pattern against a clear setof low-risk guidelines. The Domino Strategy does not replacecurrent prevention programs; it adds depth to already existing

initiatives, according to Favorite.The messages of the Domino Strategy are divided into

three phases. The first phase asks the question "Do you

count?", helping Sailors make the connection between count-ing drinks and reducing personal risk. The second and thirdphase educate Sailors on what constitutes a "standard drink"and encourages Sailors to pay attention to the content of theirdrink by asking "How big is it?" and "What's inside?"

"We're not telling people not to drink if they are of age todrink but we want them to drink responsibly. Substance abusereduces a command's ability to accomplish its mission and isinconsistent with Navy core values," said Favorite.

Alcohol and drug abuse can seriously damage an individ-ual's physical and mental health, jeopardize their safety andthe safety of others, can lead to criminal prosecution, and canresult in unfavorable separation from naval service.

The campaign will include posters, outdoor banners, tabletents, pamphlets, and TV/Radio public service announce-ments. All materials are available at no cost to all Navy com-mands for ordering through the Navy Logistics Library. Supplypersonnel may order them via https://nll1.ahf .nmci.navy.mil(for NMCI computers) or http://www.navsup.navy.mil/nav-sup (if NMCI is not available).

Known primarily for his role in his expedi-tions to and fierce negotiations ("gunboat diplomacy") with the Empire ofJapan, Perry famously posted a white flag and a letter to leaders in theJapanese capital of Edo insisting that they consider President William Fill-more's proposals.

and vendors who require access but do not qualify for a Com-mon Access Card (CAC) are able to quickly and safely access abase. Handheld scanners used at perimeter checkpoints arewirelessly connected to a database at the guardhouse, whichthen verifies the credentials as authentic and current.

"Traffic is improved; it's just a scan of the credential and a'Go' or 'No Go' appears on the handheld screen," said RobertRussell, with NDW's Operations Department.

With over 2,000 employees enrolled in NCACS at theWash-ington NavyYard alone, it is clear how the system can cut downon traffic. If these contractors do not use the system, theywould be required to obtain a one-day pass each and everytime they access the facility, increasing the workload on Passand I.D. office workers and bypassing the background check.

"It has cut down on the numbers and it has made thingsrun just a little bit smoother," said Colter.

NCACS has also streamlined the movement of vital infor-mation and records from all levels of command at installationsthroughout the region. The new system allows for printoutsregarding the enrollment, background, and status of contrac-tor companies and employees in the program, which then canbe used to brief administration on base.

"Eight months ago, I couldn’t tell you how many compa-nies I had," said Colter. "Right now I've got 248, and [the com-manding officer] is getting briefed… We have answers for ourCO."

With any new system, however, there comes an adjustmentand acclimation period. According to Colter, the occasionalgrowing pains of getting used to NCACS have proved valuableto the implementation of the program at other facilities, suchas Naval Support Facility Carderock.

Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is slated to be under-way next week. The primary focus of the exercise is on safetyand preparedness, but systems like NCACS will enable the

Navy to effectively pursue that goal while making a commutein the morning just a little bit shorter.

plate), and dairy (about one cup per meal,depending on your age).

The theme, “Get Your Plate in Shape”takes this basic information a step furtherby providing consumers creative ways to in-clude the food groups in meal planning andto make every meal healthful and enjoyable.

Some suggestions for busy diners on therun are:

• Replacing the chips or fries with a sidesalad, fruit, or baked potato.

• At the salad bar, pile on the dark leafygreens, carrots, peppers, and other freshvegetables and go easy on the mayonnaise-based salads and high-fat toppings.

• Eat your lower calorie food first (soupor salad is a great choice) and then follow upwith a lighter entrée.

• Load up your pizza with vegetable top-pings. If you add meat, make it lean ham,Canadian bacon, chicken, or shrimp.

•When going to the buffet, fill up on sal-ads and vegetables first, make no more thantwo trips, and use a smaller plate that holdsless food.

• Split your order – share that large sand-wich with a friend or take half home for an-other meal.

• Be wise about muffins, bagels, and bis-cuits. A jumbo can have more than twicethe fat and calories of the regular size.

I am frankly too old to do a job whichrequires a lot of heavy lifting or physical work, so an‘office job’makes

sense, but I can’t even get through the application. It seems like everyone has to knowcomputers these days. I am too old to learn!

A:You are too old to learn? I don’t believe that!You may be surprised at how easily youwill be able to pick up the basic skills you need not only to apply for a position, but to op-erate in an office environment. The basics are certainly achievable at any age. Take a lookat your community bulletin board, Yellow Pages, library events calendar and visit yourlocal vet center. I guarantee there will be plenty of resources from low to no cost whichwill allow you to learn MS Office skills like Outlook,Word, PowerPoint and Excel. And don’tbe afraid to ask the grandkids to show you what they know (other than Facebook). Theyare your first (free!) resource for information.

But, if you really have a block and have determined that you don’t want any part of theIT generation, you still have options, less plentiful though they might be. Opportunitiesin retail may be an avenue to explore. If you have good phone etiquette and people skills,you might try your hand at reception. In some offices, receptionists set appointments(computer based again), but there are some jobs out there for individuals who simplygreet and direct guests or clients. Childcare, housekeeping and some restaurant positionsmay also be avenues of interest.You don’t say what sort of work experience you have builtyour career on, but there could be opportunities for someone with a lot of organizationalknowledge to mentor or consult. You might consider calling some temp agencies and ex-plaining your situation. Recruiters will be honest and let you know if they have clients whocan utilize your experience without additional computer skills. Best of luck!

Veteran's Helper: Wounded Warrior's weeklysource for federal employment assistance

By MC3 Andrea Perez, NavyPersonnel Command Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Transitionbenefits available to Sailors affected by the En-listed Retention Board (ERB) are proving to bea valuable resource, officials said Feb. 29.

"We know that the transition for Sailors andfamily members to civilian life may be chal-lenging and we're committed to providing afull range of transition services and outreach,"said Vice Adm. Scott R. Van Buskirk, chief ofnaval personnel. "Our goal is to have real touchpointswithourSailorstoprovideimportant in-formation in a personal manner that will helpmake their transition more successful and lessstressful."

AboutathirdofERBseparatingSailorshaveconnected with the outplacement consultingfirm of Challenger, Gray and Christmas, Inc.(CGC) since January. More than 1,300 Sailorshave responded and enrolled via the CGCwebsite and toll free number. Enrolled Sailorsare receiving resume and interview prepara-tion, customized job search and placement as-sistance to obtain civilian employment.

"Leadership must be proactive in ensuringtheir Sailors affected by the ERB are engagedwith the outplacement firm. If ERB separatingSailors haven't been contacted by CGC, com-manding officers and command master chiefsshould help Sailors connect with this service assoon as possible," saidVan Buskirk.

While CGC is trying to contact all ERBSailors, Sailors are encouraged to reach out toCGC by phone or email. They can be reachedtoll free at 1-800-971-4288 or emailed at [email protected]. Sailors whohave been contacted by CGC and have a pass-

word for web access, can enroll at www.chal-lengeressentials.com.

Other outreach includes the Navy's CareerTransition Office (CTO), Shipmates to Work-mates (SM2WM) hiring initiative, and NavyPersonnel Command's fleet engagement teamwhich have made the Fleet more aware of themany services and benefits available to assistin the transition process.

More than 90 percent of ERB separatingSailors have been successfully contacted by theCTO regarding reserve affiliation opportunitiesas well as application procedures. In threemonths, more than 300 ERB separating Sailorshave received a Selected Reserve (SELRES)quota based.

Representatives from the NPC's fleet en-gagement team have visited Fleet concentra-tion areas to meet directly with ERB affectedSailors, their families and leaders to discusstransition assistance matters and answer ques-tions.

Transition assistance benefits for ERB af-fected Sailors include:

* Mandatory transition assistance program(TAP) workshop attendance.

* Mandatory 60 days in the continentalUnited States prior to separation for thoseoverseas.CommandingOfficers(COs)mayau-thorize a 60-day transition period to provideopportunity for full utilization of benefits andservices (including any combination of normalduty time, liberty, temporary assigned duty(TDY), permissive TDY, and separation leave).

* Flexibility of separation date based on op-erational tempo and Sailor's request.

* Extended Navy base support services(child care, MWR, FFSC).

Employees and visitors of theWashingtonNavyYard (WNY) accessing the base may ex-perience increased traffic and delays to sev-eralWNY gates and along M Street due to theongoing 11th Street Bridge reconstructionand the DC Sewer Overflow project slated tostart in the next few weeks. Employees andvisitors are urged to watch for gate closureannouncements and changing traffic pat-terns during the construction period.

The 11th Street Bridge reconstructionproject, which began in December 2009, willbe replacing the two existing bridges withthree new bridges and improve the relatedinterchanges. Expected to be completed byFall 2013, the project will improve mobilityby providing separate freeway and local traf-fic connections to both directions of DC 295,the Southeast-Southwest Freeway and localstreets on both sides of the Anacostia River.The new local bridge will be at grade and willallow increased access to and from theWNYN Street and O Street gates when the local11th Street bridge opens at the end of 2012.

Later this month, construction at the OStreet & 11th Street intersection will close theO Street gate to outgoing traffic for approxi-mately three weeks. This is in support of therelocation of the 295 ramp on 11th Streetfrom N Street to M Street, which is scheduled

to occur during Memorial Day weekend. Af-ter the relocation, traffic headed south on DC295 will need to access the freeway from thenew ramp entrance located at M Street &11th Street.

The DC Water Clean Rivers Project –Combined Sewer Overflow Control Programis a federally mandated project that will bringthe district into compliance with clean waterregulations.

The DC Water project duration along MStreet is approximately 15 months, startingJune 2012 through August 2013. Four utilitycompanies will conduct relocations of linesat the 9th Street & M Street intersection priorto DCWater work. This work is scheduled forApril-May, 2012. Naval Support ActivityWashington (NSA Washington) will likelyclose the 9th Street gate to vehicular trafficfor approximately two weeks in late April orearly May to expedite the constructionschedule.

NSAWashington is working to coordinatethe utility construction, as well as turnstilemaintenance, to minimize duration of trafficimpacts. Outside of the two-week gate clo-sure, other construction may require reduc-ing vehicle traffic to inbound or outboundonly and limited movements in and out ofthe 9th Street gate.

WNY employees will be notified of

The Training Ground: Grant, Lee, Sher-man and Davis in the Mexican War, 1846-1848 by Martin Dugard. Published by Little,Brown and Company, New York. 430 pages,2008.

The Washington DC, Virginia and Mary-land area is steeped in Civil War history; it islikely in your commute you have driven byone or more civil war landmarks. In addi-tion, this year Americans observe the Lin-coln Bicentennial, which has generated a re-newed interest in the CivilWar. After readinga few books on the conflict, and its majorpersonalities, you may wish to delve into the1846 Mexican-American War. It was thisconflict that many CivilWar military leaderson both sides served together as young offi-cers; many would experience war for the firsttime. Martin Dugard, a New York Timesbestselling author, has written a new bookthat looks at America’s war with Mexico, anddissects the impact it would have on suchyoung U.S. Army officers as Ulysses S. Grant,William T. Sherman, Robert E. Lee, andColonel of Mississippi Volunteers JeffersonDavis. In two decades many of these per-sonalities would fight on opposite ends ofthe CivilWar. The book begins with the ten-sions the United States would have withMexico, and Texas.

Beginning in 1827, two Presidents wouldoffer to buy Texas from Mexico, John QuincyAdams, and Andrew Jackson, both offers re-jected. The book covers both sides of the ten-sions such as an 1835 secessionist rebellion inwhich Texans (then called Texians) attackedand drove away Mexican cavalry from the re-gion; the rebellion which started with 140grew to 2,000, and would culminate withMexican General Antonio Lopez de SantaAnna leading 6,000 to the Alamo. Of note,Santa Anna had a fondness for public execu-tions and upon taking the Alamo in 1836through overwhelming force, he would mas-sacre its occupants while the Mexican Armyband played a tune called, “Deguello.” Al-though not in the book, this music played byGeneralSantaAnnameanttosignifynoquar-ter. It had its origins in Spain, who had bor-rowed it from the Arabs who had occupiedSpain, who in turn had used a variation of thehorn call during a siege. It was a form of psy-chological warfare and was an appeal for theenemy to surrender. The term “El Deguello”can mean no mercy, slit-throat, or beheading.

The book contains well written and shortbiographies of Ulysses S. Grant who rose tobe Commander in Chief of Union Armiesand America’s first three-star general sinceGeorge Washington. At the time, Grantwould be homesick, yearning for and writingcopious letters to his new wife Julia Dent.During the war Grant would distinguishhimself as a logistician, and would come tounderstand warfare from a Mexican Army

also steeped in European military tradition.Lieutenant T. J. Jackson, would serve as anArtillery Officer in the Mexican War; hewould become General T. J. “Stonewall”Jackson, fighting for the Confederacy andwould be Lee’s left hand. It was in MexicoJackson first met Captain Robert E. Lee.

Aside from the biographies, the authortakes you into the sights, smells, and chal-lenges of over a dozen battles and cam-paigns such as Resaca De Palma, Monterey,BuenaVista, a sea-borne landing atVeracruzthat would lead to the capture of Mexico Cityin 1847. The war would cause some of itsleaders to rise to prominent political office:General ZacharyTaylor, who led the expedi-tion to Mexico would become the 12th Pres-ident of the United States, and JeffersonDavis, would command and fight bravely inthe Battle of BuenaVista, being wounded inthe process. Of note, Davis first wife was thedaughter of Zachary Taylor, a marriage thatlasted less than a year before she died. Hisheroic deeds propelled him to Governor ofMississippi,War Secretary, and United StatesSenator before resigning to become Presi-dent of the Confederate States of Americaputting loyalty to Mississippi and state sov-ereignty before the preservation of theUnion.

Those interested in America’s history, theCivilWar,Texas history, and Mexican-Amer-ican relations will find this book a good read.The United States would gain the westernportion of the continent, and territories thatwould become the states of Arizona, NewMexico, Utah, Colorado, California, and partof Wyoming under the Treaty of GuadalupeHidalgo in 1848.

The Training Ground

Editor's note: This is part two of a four part series. In the March 1 edition of the WaterlineLt. Cmdr. Josh Frey, an NDW AFPAK Hand public affairs officer, wrote on the newfound resur-gence of the Afghan media, efforts to assist and guide its growth, and challenges faced in thisendeavor.

My outreach group is currently working in this area to help improve the ability of mediato report about International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operations and the Afghangovernment. By conducting regular outreach activities with media, government spokesper-sons and civil society groups, we have been able to start identifying problems and workingto correct them.

For instance, we have learned that much of the efforts towards Afghan media, on thepart of ISAF and the international community, are directed towards the Afghan media whohave the largest audience. Much of this feedback was received from media outlets them-selves. However, there are many other media outlets who communicate to specific audi-ences.

Aina television, according to a USAID survey, garners only 4% of television ratings. How-ever, Aina has a large Uzbek following in Northern areas such as Balkh and Jowzjan provinces.Another station, Tamadon, communicates specifically to Afghan Shiite audiences that aremostly Hazara. Tamadon, according to the USAID report brings in 7% of television ratings .Because of their funding connection to Iran, however, their reporting often contains pro-Iranian and anti-western undertones. There are other news outlets with Iranian funding thattarget the Afghan Shia and Hazara communities, such as Negah TV and Noorin TV. Both haverelatively low ratings, compared to Tolo, Ariana and Shamshod TV.

To these ethnic groups, which are also part of political parties that represent them,Tamadon and Aina hold credibility that the stations with the largest ratings (Tolo and Ari-anna) do not have. Tamadon is owned by Shiite cleric Sheikh Mohammad Asif Mohseni.Because of the connection to Mohseni, a respective figure among Afghan Shiites who aremostly Hazara, the station holds credibility among this particular religious, ethnic and po-litical demographic. As Seib suggests, “Many governments dismiss these types of media, es-pecially Al Jazeera, because they are not objective providers of information and thereforepresumably have little clout with their audiences.”

Zafar Shah Rouyee, news editor for Hasht-e Sohb newspaper in Kabul, says thatTamadon had sent his staff for a one-month training to Tehran, and many of the TV’s pro-grams are similar in style to their counterparts from across the border. National holidays inIran, for instance, are extensively covered. When the Iranian-Afghan joint cultural heritagewas celebrated in Tehran in the summer, Tamadon TV reported it live. The speaker of theIranian Parliament Ali Larijani used this opportunity to criticize the presence of the Westerntroops in Afghanistan.

There are several other news outlets that receive Iranian funding, such as Noorin, Rai-e-Fardo, and Negah that receive less viewership than Tamadon who also target the AfghanShia Hazara.

However, as Seib writes, this is largely a viewpoint indicative of Western standards ofjournalistic objectivity. But in Afghanistan as in the middle-east, these types of media canbe influential because, “they are credible; that’s what matters.”

Aina television is also owned by the son of the former Northern alliance Gen. AbdulRashid Dostum, a figure that also holds credibility among the Uzbek ethnic/political partyJumbish-e-Mili. Thus, much of the programming of both stations can often reflect the po-litical platforms of these two demographics and they freely admit it. These are two examplesof a specific category of media that can be referred to as the political or ethnic media.

Zafar Shah Rouyee goes on to state that Turkey is also involved in the television marketand has supported the establishment of Aina TV and Rah-e Farda TV. Like Dostum, Mo-hammad Muhaqiq was also a former commander during the Afghan civil war. Both are con-sidered long time allies of Turkey.

AFPAK Blog: On the Ground

Aina Television, a station owned by the son of Gen. Dostum, was the recentbeneficiary of the outreach. It led to setting up an interview with the Interna-tional Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman and inclusion with inter-national media outlets in press conferences and dissemination of press re-leases. It is part of a larger effort to work with all media, sharing info equally,regardless of funding or political connections.

Shipping of Household Goods from overseas differs between us-ing the Defense Personal Property Systems (DPS) or Direct Procure-ment Method (DPM). DPS moves Household Goods by the fastestmeans and directly to a known delivery address before the propertyis picked up at origin. DPM moves Household Goods through theGovernment Military Sealift Command (MSC). This mode is at alower expense to the Government.

What does this mean to you?There are two ways that the DPM is used for overseas shipments:1.When the shipment is coming from overseas and going direct-

ly into a Non-Temporary Storage (NTS) facility for long term storage(1 year) due to retirement.

2.When there's no other way to ship the property from origin todestination except by using the DPM mode. Majority of these ship-ments are going to DPM contracts at destination.

Question: Can you as the customer file an inconvenience claimon both modes of transportation?

DPS: Yes, you can under the Full ReplacementValue (FRV). Youcan find information on FRV in "Move.Mil."

DPM: No, the company accountable to this shipment is the USGovernment. This move is via Military Sealift Command (MSC).This mode of shipping is not designed nor does it allow for the cus-tomer to file inconvenience claim.

NOTE: You must request release of your shipment out of DPMstorage by calling the JPPSO-WA Call Center at (703) 806-0968 or vis-iting JPPSO-WA at 9325 Gunston Road 1466, Fort Belvoir,VA 22060.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, you can visitJPPSO-WA located at Bldg 1466, Gunston Road, Monday throughFriday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. hours daily except holidays, or callthe JPPSO-WA Call Center at (703) 806-0968, or go to our website:http://www.belvoir.army.mil/jppsowa
