Personnel living and working onNaval Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren packed the Dowell Com-munity House on Feb. 9 to celebrateBlack History Month with speech,song and of course, food.

The theme of this year's celebra-tion was "Black Women in AmericanHistory and Culture," a theme pre-sented enthusiastically by MasterChief Petty Officer Evelyn Banks,command master chief of Naval SeaSystems Command (NAVSEA) andthe ceremony's guest speaker.

After the presentation of colors bythe Aegis Training and ReadinessCenter color guard, and recognitionof command staff present, JessicaKennedy, an engineer with Naval Sur-face Warfare Center Dahlgren Divi-sion (NSWCDD) W43 and presidentof the Fredericksburg chapter of theSociety of Woman Engineers, ad-dressed the crowd.

"This year, with a theme of blackwomen in American culture and his-tory, I'm delighted to welcome you tothis tribute, [one which] will share the

impact that African-Americanwomen have had on our society," saidKennedy. "With attentive ears and cu-rious minds, please enjoy this cele-bration. You are indeed welcome."

Aaron Anderson and Craig Cor-

nish, assigned to NSWCDD W61 andG73 respectively, treated the crowd toa rendition of Bill Withers' classic"Lean on Me." The initial ceremonyplan called only for Anderson to sing;he was joined by Cornish only min-

utes before the ceremony began,though the pair's spirited perform-ance gave no hint at the improvisa-tion.

Cornish said the duet came natu-rally. "I've been in the church a longtime," he said. "It kind of comes withthe territory."Overcoming Ignoranceof the Past

Capt. Peter Nette, commandingofficer of Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac (NSASP), praised thecontributions African-Americanshave made to society and revisitedthe creation of Black History Month.

"Recognition of black history onlybegan in this country in 1926," saidNette. "It was founded because of oneman, Doctor Carter G. Woodson.Doctor Woodson said he created thisobservance, because for too long hehad seen centuries of African-Ameri-can contributions be overlooked, ig-nored and even suppressed by writersof history textbooks and the teacherswho use them.

Students from the Dahlgren School stepped outof their classrooms for a day-long stint in the realworld during the school's annual Job Shadow Dayon Feb. 2. Sixteen students divided into groups be-fore a short van trip brought them to commandsacross Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren.

This year's Jobs Shadow Day saw the studentslearn about a variety of base activities, includingPublic Works, the Aegis Training and ReadinessCenter (ATRC) and several departments within theNaval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD). After volunteer mentors guided thestudent groups through the various activities, thestudents reassembled for tours of the Potomac Riv-er Test Range (PRTR) and the naval railgun facility.

Teachers and administrators at the DahlgrenSchool praised the event as a way to underscore theimportance of studying hard now, in order to begina rewarding career later. "The Job Shadow experi-ence gives students an opportunity to connect tothe real world and see the application of the lessonsthat they learn in school," said Alice Herring, prin-cipal of the Dahlgren School.

"[Students] often times ask 'why do we need toknow this?' especially in Math and Science. To seethe mentors really using the information is inspir-ing and exciting to them and to the teachers."

One of those mentors never got a chance toshadow a professional in her junior high schooldays, but said she enjoys extending the opportunitytoday to young people all the same.

"I don't remember getting to participate in a Job

Shadow Day growing up, but I think the program iswonderful and something that I would have verymuch looked forward to as a young adult," saidBrenna White, water media manager for the NavalSupport Activity South Potomac (NSASP) PublicWorks Department's Environmental Division at

Dahlgren.White guided three students, Noah Devine, Ge-

offrey Geoghagen and Marlon Riley, through thebase's wastewater treatment facility. White's pro-

knowledge and awareness. [Wood-son] believed that one of the great-est sources of racial injustice is igno-rance of the past," said Nette. "So[today] is about recognizing 400years of African-Americans, whoselives helped make the country whatit is today, who made contributionsto every sphere of our national life,from culture and business, to poli-tics and science."

Capt. Michael Smith, command-er of NSWCDD, spoke about the ori-gins Black History Month as well asits 2012 theme.

"Our history is rich with exam-ples of the accomplishments ofAfrican-American women," saidSmith. "From Harriet Tubman, theleader of the underground railroadfrom slavery, to Rosa Parks, a namewe will always [associate] with themodern civil rights movement, toartists such as Gwendolyn Brooksand legislators such a Barbara Jordanand Shirley Chisholm, our nation isstronger because of their contribu-tions."

After reading a portion of Presi-dent Barack Obama's 2012 African-American History Month Proclama-tion, Smith praised the contributionsAfrican-American Sailors havebrought to the Navy.

"Today, we particularly honorthose Africa-American men andwomenwhohaveservedinthe Unit-ed States Navy," he said. "African-Americans have served bravely inthe Navy through every war andconflict since the American Revolu-tion."

Dwayne Nelson, an engineer as-signed to NSWCDD W24 and vicepresident of National Society ofBlack Engineers, Region Two, Po-tomac River Alumni ExtensionChapter, described his organizationbefore introducing Banks. "Our mis-sion is to increase the number of cul-

turally-responsible black engineers,who excel academically, succeedprofessionally and have a positiveimpact on their community," hesaid.Down to Earth Geeks

Nelson then gave a brief careersummary of Banks, who took centerstage and gave a rousing speech."I'm sick and tired of being sick andtired," said Banks, quoting African-American civil rights activist FannieLou Hamer. "I refuse to give up."

"To Captains Nette and Smith, toall these dignitaries who elevate theplatform and to all of the men andwomen of the NAVSEA family outhere in Dahlgren, I've got to say'thank God,'" said Banks.

"I thank Him for the warm hos-pitality, for the kindly invitation, forthe time I've graced these hallowedhalls. And I sure thank God for theparking space. Everywhere I go inNAVSEA, folks say 'we don't haveenough parking.' So if we don't haveenough, for me to catch one, I'meternally grateful."

Banks thanked the members oftheDahlgrencommunityformakingher visit possible and addressed oneof Dahlgren's most pervasive stereo-types. "I thought I was going to bespeaking to... geeks," she told thechuckling audience. "You folks hereat NAVSEA, you're all smart geeks,and I say that affectionately. Just re-ally, really, really smart.

"And rarely do you get a bunch ofsmart folks together who've learnedhow to humanize themselves and

just be down-home, good folks. So Ithank you smart geeks for beingdown to earth," she said.

Banks recounted the role raceplayed in her childhood and profes-sional career with a humorous styleall her own. "As I pondered mythoughtsfortoday'sremarks,Ikindoffocused on the theme, black womenin culture and history," she said.

"You know, with a little bit of ed-ucation behind my belt, I could fixyou all up a good speech. I couldprobably match the subject andverbs together and I could work andwork on my diction, but since this isabout black women, I'm going togive you who I am. They did teachme noun/verb subject agreement; Idid learn [that] in the third gradeback in Mississippi. But I have got totell you, it feels good sometimes toslash those verbs in half."

Banks credited three women formaking her the woman she is today:her mother, Fannie Lou Hamer, andCoretta King, widow of MartinLuther King Jr. "A lot of folks com-plain about how bad life is, how badthings are," said Banks. "Well, ifyou're going to complain, get up anddo something."

It was after the civil rights strug-gles of the 1960s, however, thatBanks said she experienced racialdiscrimination in the Navy duringhercareer.Whenanofficermadeun-becoming remarks about Banks'race, gender and time-in-rank as shechecked in on board a ship for thefirst time, Banks requestedtheofficerjudge her after she had a chance toperform her duty.

Itwouldnotbethelast time racialprejudice affected Banks' career, butin each case, Banks encouraged thecrowd to take her own example andstay happy, despite the challenges."I'm the total custodian of my joy,because of people like you," she said."You allow me to be me."

LS1 Jarriel GardnerExplosive Ordnance DisposalTechnology Division

"Black History month is a time toremember the contributions andtribulations of this country. I amthankful for the sacrifices pastBlack Americans have made tosecure the future generation. Di-versity brings background andexperience to the Navy. Every-one at some point in their life hashad the opportunity to overcomechallenges, whether because oftheir ethnic background or val-ues. These are important be-cause this is who we are andwhat we represent as an individ-ual. What we experience, good orbad, can be used in the develop-ment of other Sailors."

GSM1 Terence RambeauNaval Support Activity SouthPotomac

"Being an African-AmericanSailor, there's a lot of pride.Everyone must go throughsome struggle to get to wherethey want to go. A lot of African-Americans have served in theNavy and many became he-roes, but they went through agreat deal of struggle just tohave the opportunity.

Knowing that keeps me at a lev-el where I know I just got tokeep striving, no matter whathappens. Being diverse in theNavy creates bonds betweenpeople and between cultures; itkeeps us from being closed-minded because your way isn'talways the best way."

FCI Darnell WilliamsAegis Training and ReadinessCenter

"Black History Month means alot to me because it gives methe chance to go back and lookat my past history, through myethnicity, through my ancestors.I get to reap the benefits of thethings they fought for andsought after. Back in the day, inthe Navy, African-Americanswere only allowed to be stew-ards and things like that. Today,with me being a First-Class FireControlman, working onweapons systems and nowteaching students to go out onship to do the same, I know Iwould not be able to do that hadit not been for my African-Ameri-can ancestors."

YNC William CunninghamExplosive Ordnance DisposalTechnology Division

"This month recognizes the ef-forts and accomplishments ofblacks. It recognizes and re-flects the contribution of blacksin the forming of today's Ameri-ca. [Diversity is] what makesAmerica great. The Navy bringsdifferent experiences and cul-tures together to form a mightyforce."

FC1 Stacey VelvinAegis Training and ReadinessCenter

"Black History Month is achance for people to understandand see some of the contribu-tions African-Americans havemade to history, to the military,to the country in general. Diver-sity brings an understanding [tothe Navy]; it allows you to workwith someone, to get to knowsomeone, who may not comefrom the same background."


Aaron Anderson (r.) and Craig Cornish with NSWCDD kick off the 2012 celebration of BlackHistory Month by singing a rendition of "Lean on Me," by Bill Withers.

FREDERICKSBURG RIDESHARING SERVICE

GWRideConnect is a free ridesharing service thatassists persons who are seeking daily transporta-tion from Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania,Caroline and King George counties to employmentlocations in Dahlgren among other employmentsites. Go to www.gwregion.org/gwrideconnect.html.

fessional responsibilities include oversee-ing the drinking, waste, storm run-off andindustrial water on base. At every turnduring the tour, the students saw howskills learned in the classroom apply in theworking world.

After collecting storm water sampleswith the students, it was off to the waste-water treatment facility lab to measure theresults.

White explained how both chemistryand biology are part of monitoring andcleansing wastewater. The students tookpH reading of their samples and observedthe tiny life present in the water under amicroscope.

White took time to explain the impor-tance of the scientific method and howher work affects the environment aroundDahlgren.

"The Environmental Division has theopportunity to participate in many publicoutreach activities," said White, who is aregular participant in Dahlgren's educa-tional outreaches.

"From battery turn-ins, science fairs,Earth Day, and Jobs Day, our job is moreeffective if we can increase public aware-ness of the environment and involve thecommunity."

White and all the mentors at the JobShadow Day did more than just show thestudents various science, technology, en-gineering and math (STEM) skills in ac-tion, however. For military kids used to atransient lifestyle, the tour provided asense of community and place that wouldbe difficult for a young person to other-wise acquire.

"Many of the students don't reallyknow what kind of activities go on aroundthe base, despite living here, and most ofthem have probably never ventured out ofthe housing area," said Lisa Augustyniak,a science and English teacher at theDahlgren School.

Augustyniak accompanied the stu-dents touring the wastewater treatmentfacility. "Having a chance to see the typesof things that the people here do not onlyincreases their knowledge of their sur-roundings, but also enlightens them as towhat kinds of jobs are available to some-one interested in science and technology.This generation is growing up in a com-pletely different world... almost all ofthem have smart phones and internet ac-cess available to them at all times. It'sgood for them to see where that technol-ogy is coming from and how it can be ap-plied outside of the world of middleschool."

Such lessons may not neatly fit withinthe confines of a classroom or subject, but

the staff of the Dahlgren School sees thevalue in educational outreaches like JobShadow Day and thanked the mentors formaking the experience possible.

"We are fortunate to have the expertisein all fields at Dahlgren, but especiallythose in science, technology, engineeringand math," said Herring. "We appreciate

the continual willingness of the profes-sionals on the base to contribute theirtime to give back to the students in JobShadow Day and as guest speakers.

"Thanks to [NSASP event coordinator]Susan Prien, who has been working withDahlgren School for the past six years toprovide this opportunity."

Haley Fuentes, 8, thought it was justanother school assembly, meant toaward her and other Park Hall Elemen-tary School third graders for placementon the honor roll and perfect atten-dance. It didn't take long, though, forher to realize something was up.

"When I saw Dad, I thought, 'That'snot a good sign,'" Haley said.

Being the composed, roll-with-the-changes girl she is, Haley just greetedher father, Master-at-arms Chief PettyOfficer Edgar L. Fuentes, and sat withher fellow classmates. If it was a little

odd to have her parents standing nearthe stage with the commanding officerand command master chief from her fa-ther's naval installation in the middle ofthe school day, she didn't let on. Han-dling the unexpected is just part of lifeas a military child -- the moves, extend-ed deployments and additional respon-sibility at home are all part of the life sheknows.

"Haley is an amazing child. Alwayskeeping her spirits up through deploy-ment and separations, she maintains allA's in school and is very supportive andhelpful to her peers. Haley Fuentes istruly a pleasure to have as a role modelfor other students and children experi-

encing the loss or deployment of a par-ent and is most deserving of the MilitaryChild of the Year Award," PrincipalKathy Norton read, from a letter shewrote nominating Haley. On Feb. 3,Norton announced to the entire thirdgrade, base leadership and the Fuentesfamily that Haley has been selected as asemi-finalist in that competition.

At 8 years old, she is also theyoungest of the 20 Navy children cho-sen to be semi-finalists. The award, pre-sented each year by Operation Home-front, is intended to recognize childrenfor their character and service to thecommunity.

A new automated chemical warfare agentdetection capability that successfully passedoperational tests aboard USS Mason (DDG87) will be installed on warships throughoutthe Fleet, Navy officials announced Feb. 15.

The Navy plans to install the new system -designed to quickly alert warfighters to thepresence of chemical warfare agents - on allactive guided missile destroyers and cruisers,aircraft carriers, large and small deck am-phibious ships, littoral combat ships and drycargo/ammunition ships by the end of 2018.

"IPDS-LR [Improved Point Detection Sys-tem - Lifecycle Replacement] will provide theNavy continued chemical warfare agent de-tection, identification and alerting along withthe high system reliability they need to per-form their mission worldwide," said Bruce

Corso, IPDS-LR system manager in the officeof the Joint Project Manager for Nuclear, Bio-logical and Chemical Contamination Avoid-

ance (JPM NBCCA)."This successful deployment of the IPDS-

LR is a culmination of the work of some greatscientists and engineers, collaboration withthe joint community, and having waterfrontlocations that provide continuous Fleet inter-action," said Naval Surface Warfare CenterDahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Chemical, Bi-ological and Radiological (CBR) Defense Di-vision Head Mike Purello.

Warfighters aboard USS Mason - the firstguided-missile destroyer protected by IPDS-LR - are now relying on a better performingsystem that features ion mobility spectrome-try. This chemical detection technology cre-ates ions that separate by the time it takes theion clusters to traverse a constant electric fielddrift region.

"I am excited to have the Improved PointDetection System - Lifecycle Replacement onboard," said USS Mason commanding officerCmdr. Adan Cruz after testing concluded Jan.27. "As Captain, I hold the responsibility forthe safety of the crew and this system providesenhanced chemical warfare defense to ensureour Sailors will return home safely."

"The install went extremely well," said USSMason executive officer Cmdr. Mike Briggs."Having a reliable chemical detection system

onboard to aid in ship's defense goes towardsmaking Mason a more effective warship."

Teams based in Norfolk, Va., and SanDiego, Calif., are prepared to install the newsystem on 35 ships in 2012.

USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110), USSHoward (DDG 83) and USS Mesa Verde (LPD19) are the next ships on NSWCDD CBR De-fense Division's schedule for IPDS-LR instal-lation.

"More DDGs will follow," said NSWCDDIPDS-LR project lead Brian Flaherty. "TheSailor will see a system they can turn on andbe confident it is protecting them. It samplesair from outside the ship, evaluates it for thepresence of chemical warfare agents and ifthere's an agent present, IPDS-LR will alertthem in an adequate amount of time to takeprecautionary measures."

IPDS-LR components located on the portand starboard sides of a ship sample airthrough external intakes in the hull. The sys-tem analyzes the external air for chemicalagents.

"If the detector identifies a chemical agent,it sends a signal that displays an alert at boththe ship's damage control central and thebridge," said Flaherty. "The system also inter-

During Rappahannock United Way's 2011 Annual Cam-paign, RUW staff and supporters called on communitymembers to be "everyday heroes" to those in need-and thecommunity responded. While you may not see capes bil-lowing past your office or masked men and women in theirclassrooms, vehicles, or meetings, the Greater Fredericks-burg area is filled with men and women who gave duringthe Local Government, Workplace, and Combined FederalCampaigns this year. These gifts will impact the lives ofthousands of individuals and families in the Fredericks-burg area.

On Wednesday, February 22nd, the 2011 RappahannockUnited Way (RUW) will host its annual Campaign Celebra-tion and Awards Luncheon, an event to recognize andthank corporate contributors, community leaders, non-profit partners, loyal donors, and dedicated volunteers fortheir collective effort to make the 2011 Workplace Cam-paign a success.

The 2011 Campaign called upon "everyday heroes" totake part in Giving, Advocating, and Volunteering for theimprovement of our community. Amid layoffs and cut-backs resulting from the current economic condition, eventhe smallest donation works to create positive change.Donors took to heart RUW's call to "Live United" as a com-munity; despite economic strain, they continued to give oftheir resources to benefit others.

"What impressed me most this year was how ourdonors thoughtfully made gifts to Rappahannock UnitedWay that mirrored their commitment to United Way's mis-sion and their belief in the impact our organization makesin this community," said Rappahannock United Way Pres-ident Janel Donohue. "Our donors think of "we" before"me" and I think that makes our community unique."

Tamara Jones, RUW's Annual Giving Manager, added:"The success of the campaign is not only measured by dol-lars raised, but also by the impact of those dollars and the

value Rappahannock United Way brings to the community.In that spirit, the 2011 Annual Campaign Celebration andAwards Luncheon's purpose is to show the community'sefforts and dedication to changing lives and creating last-ing change in the areas of Education, Income and Health."

To recognize those who went above and beyond toachieve fundraising goals, Rappahannock United Way willaward companies and employee campaign coordinatorswho volunteered their time to generate excitement anddollars around the United Way Campaign.

In addition to the awards, the results of the 2011 Com-munity Campaign will be revealed as well as the theme forthe 2012 Campaign.

faces directly to the ship's chemical alarm, which broadcastsan audible ship-wide alarm to alert the crew of a chemical war-fare agent."

IPDS-LR's test and evaluation involved extensive time bothin the laboratory and aboard ship, with extensive time at sea aswell as an independent underway evaluation by the Navy'sCommander Operational Test and Evaluation Force.

"The new system is more maintainable and reliable," saidFlaherty. "Warfighters will see improved false alarm perform-ance and longer periods of time between repairs. It will be eas-ier and cheaper to repair."

Based on a commercial-off-the-shelf concept, a joint teamof NSWCDD and JPM NBCCA engineers evaluated IPDS-LR inreliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) tests empha-sizing a Navy shipboard maritime environment.

The team collected over 14,000 hours of underway and in-port test time supporting the RAM analysis with multiple ships- and ship classes - based in the Norfolk and San Diego areas.Additional data collection continued on board ships in for-ward-deployed locations.

"It's very rewarding to field this system to the Fleet," saidFlaherty, noting that his team conducted "IPDS-LR tests on theNavy side - shock testing, vibration testing, electromagnetic in-terference - and worked with different groups over two-and-a-half years to make sure the system is ready to field to thewarfighter."

"The Navy's CBR Defense Division exists to provide ourwarfighter with the tools and capabilities necessary to detect,protect, and if necessary, decontaminate threats resulting froma CBR attack," said Purello. "Our direct and active connectionwith the Fleet helps the warfighter and provides a wealth ofvaluable information for our scientists and engineers in the lab.This knowledge is immediately put to use as they work to cre-ate, develop, and provide updates and future solutions for ourmen and women in uniform."

A Navy leader in CBR Defense, NSWCDD's CBR Defense Di-vision provides a full complement of capabilities that supportthe naval warfighter both on land and at sea as well as the jointand homeland defense communities.
