With only weeks to go the New Year looms at our doorstep, reminding many citizens that the 2016 presidential election is fast ap-proaching. However, service members and federal personnel serving far from home often find themselves away from their polling dis-tricts during these important elections.

Naval Support Activity Washington wants to ensure that all military personnel are regis-tered to vote and are able to send their votes home to their respective states using the Fed-eral Voting Assistance Program. FVAP works to ensure that all service members, their fam-ily members, and citizens are made aware of their right to vote and are provided with the tools to do so successfully. The program aids voters through partnerships with military ser-vices, the Department of Justice, and election officials from all 50 states, the U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia.

Kenneth Bobbitt, voting assistance officer for NSAW, stressed the importance of person-nel exercising their right to vote and his duty to make sure they are able to do so, stating the voting assistant’s role at all military bases na-tionwide plays an active part in the upkeep of democracy for the nation’s military.

“It’s not just an important role here, it’s an important role in America because the mili-tary defends democracy; part of democracy is the ability to vote,” said Bobbitt.

Yeoman 2nd Class Minica Davis registered to send her absentee ballot home to Albany, Ga. Stating that the 2016 presidential election will be her first time voting in her 29 years of life.

“I feel good about it and it’s time [to vote],” said Davis.

Bobbitt said that in addition to offering his services as the FVAP voting assistant year-round, NSAW holds an annual voter registra-tion drive to maximize the number of person-nel using the FVAP system to send their vote home.

“We have a week-long event in the spring where we have people come in and we make sure that they are set up to register to vote with absentee ballots,” said Bobbitt.

Bobbitt said the steps for military personnel to register to vote or cast an absentee ballot are

simple.“What happens is you go online to register

at fvap.gov and they send the actual voting ballot from your jurisdiction to you. You have 45 days to fill it out and return it,”said Bobbitt. “Once it comes to you it’s your responsibility to do it.”

Bobbitt said he has been promoting these resources around the command.

“I’m putting big signs up around the base, letting the tenants know that NSA Washington has the resources should they need it,” said Bobbitt.

Steps to vote absentee:1. Citizens register to vote and request an

absentee ballot by filling out the Federal Post Card Application, and mailing it to their local election official in their State of legal residence.

2. The election official either approves the FPCA, disapproves the FPCA, or requests ad-ditional clarifying information.

3. Once the FPCA is approved, the election official sends an absentee ballot to the citizen.

4. The citizen completes, and returns their voted ballot to their local election official by their State’s deadline.

To successfully vote absentee, personnel and eligible family should:

• Allow plenty of time to request, receive, and return their ballot.

• Notify their local election official each time their mailing address changes.

• Become familiar with their state’s absentee voting deadlines and procedures to make sure their ballot is properly executed and will be counted.

• Complete a Federal Write-In Absentee Bal-lot early if unsure of the time required toreturn the ballot to meet the State’s deadline.

NSAW military personnel looking to reg-ister to vote or send an absentee ballot can locate Kenneth Bobbitt in building 101 on the third floor of the Washington Navy Yard. To submit information online visit www.fvap.gov.

The ASIST model teaches effective intervention skills while helping to build suicide prevention networks in the community.

By Whitney AndersonNSAW Public Affairs Office

Life can present many challenges, but civil-ian federal employees of the Department of the Navy don’t have to juggle those challenges alone.

The Department of the Navy Civilian Em-ployee Assistance Program, known as DON-CEAP, provides Department of the Navy civil-ian employees with work/life benefits as well as support for a variety of occurrences. Ser-vices provided by the program include child-care, finance counseling, eldercare, identity theft management, legal services, and alcohol or substance abuse help at no charge. Ser-vices are offered to personnel and their family members, and are confidential within the lim-its of the law.

Laura Stanley, program manager for the Office of Civilian Human Resources, said that these services are available to make civilian government employee’s work life and person-al life flow in harmony. Stanley explained that while DONCEAP does not provide such things as free childcare or free legal advice, they can research these needs to take the burden off the employee.

“Say if you were new to the area and you were looking for childcare options in your neighborhood – like Fairfax, Virginia – and you had a price point you wanted to stay un-der or needed the childcare provider to meet certain requirements, they’d be able to do re-search for you and find what you’re looking for,” said Stanley.

Stanley added that while the counseling services offered by the program were widely known and used, many other resources such

as financial consultation and legal and child-care aide, tend to go overlooked by federal employees.

“We want to continue to increase usage,”

said Stanley. “There was a big marketing push in 2013 when we were first rolling it out, and of course we continue to do that. We’re always looking for new ways to reach people and en-

courage them to use the program.”Stanley said that she has stayed in touch

with various Department of the Navy com-mands regarding the progress and marketing of DONCEAP in an effort to boost the usage of all resources offered by the program, hoping that employees will come to be familiar with all that it offers. One resource the program offers is counseling, with several sessions of-fered at no charge to the employee.

“With the counseling services employees are entitled up to six sessions for short-term counseling and those are covered by the De-partment of the Navy, however after the sixth session and the employee is found to need ad-ditional counseling or a medical referral, then the employee would cover the expenses for that,” Stanley said.

Stanley explained that counselors are avail-able on site at certain locations for personnel local to those areas. But for those who find it difficult to meet one in person, counselors are always available by phone.

“We do have an on-site counselor here at the Washington Navy Yard; only a handful of locations have on-site counselors. In other lo-cations people can call the 1-844-DONCEAP number and either speak to a counselor over the phone or be referred to an affiliate coun-selor in the local area,” said Stanley.

For more information on DONCEAP feder-al Department of the Navy personnel should refer to http://www.donceap.foh.hhs.gov/ . For Navy Yard federal employees looking to use the services, the counselor can be found in building 201 of the Washington Navy Yard. To refer to the services by phone, call 1-844-DON-CEAP (1-844-366-2327).

Naval Facilities Engineering Command held a change of command and retirement cere-mony at the Washington Navy Yard, Nov. 4.

Rear Adm. Bret J. Muilenburg relieved Rear Adm. Kate L. Gregory, and became the 44th commander of NAVFAC and chief of Civil Engineers. Before the ceremony, Muilenburg was promoted to rear admiral (upper half) by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Rich-ardson.

In his remarks, Richardson thanked Gregory for her service to the Navy and the nation. He presented her with the Distinguished Service Medal for exceptional meritorious service while serving as NAVFAC commander.

Gregory reflected on her time at NAVFAC and as a Seabee.

“I cannot be more proud of how the NAVFAC workforce executed our mission of building and maintaining sustainable facilities, deliver-ing utilities and facility services, and providing world-class expeditionary capabilities for our naval forces,” she said. “These extraordinary efforts enabled the operational success of our Navy and Marine Corps commanders.”

Gregory also spoke fondly of her lengthy service.

“I will also very much miss my time serv-ing with the Naval Construction Force,” she added. “Seabees work with just an incredible sense of esprit de corps and pride, and what an incredible privilege it was to have been part of this community.”

A 1982 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Gregory retires after serving 33 years in the Navy. She holds graduate degrees from the University of Southern California and George Washington University, and has completed the Senior Executive Program at the London School of Business.

Gregory assumed command of NAVFAC in October 2012. Previously she served as com-mander, Naval Facilities Engineering Com-mand Pacific and Pacific Fleet civil engineer. Her other facilities assignments included tours in Yokosuka, Japan; Naples, Italy; San Francisco, California; Adak, Alaska; and Pearl Harbor. She also had staff tours in Washington, DC, serving as the Seabee action officer and overseas bases planning and action officer for CNO.

Her tours with the Naval Construction Force included Amphibious Construction Battal-

ion 1, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1, commanding officer of NMCB 133, com-mander of the 30th Naval Construction Regi-ment, and chief of staff for the First Naval Con-struction Division.

She is a registered professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a qualified military parachutist, and a Seabee combat warfare officer.

Muilenburg comes to NAVFAC headquar-ters from NAVFAC Pacific, where he served as commander and Pacific Fleet civil engineer from May 2013.

He was commissioned a Civil Engineer Corps officer after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1984. His extensive edu-cational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Master of Science in Engineering Management from George Washington University, and Master of Science in Environmental Engineering and Science from Stanford University. In addition, Muilenburg completed the Executive Educa-tion Advanced Program at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.

“I am humbled at this opportunity to serve as the commander of NAVFAC and chief of Civil Engineers,” Muilenburg said. “The civil

service employees and Civil Engineer Corps officers who work at NAVFAC are profession-als known globally for their ‘can do’ spirit. I look forward to working side-by-side with this incredible group of people and can’t wait to get started.”

His operational tours of duty include assign-ments with NMCBs 62, 133 and 7, along with the 30th NCR. He also served as Task Force Forager commander and theater engineer for the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command in Afghanistan.

Muilenburg is a registered professional en-gineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a member of the Defense Acquisition Corps, and a Seabee combat warfare officer.

NAVFAC builds and maintains sustain-able facilities, delivers utilities and services, enables energy security and environmental stewardship, and provides humanitarian as-sistance, contingency engineering response, and expeditionary combat force capabilities. Established in 1842 as the Bureau of Yards and Docks, NAVFAC enables Navy and Ma-rine Corps readiness through 14 commands in the United States, Europe, Southwest Asia and the Far East.

The Navy is offering new graduate education opportunities for proven professionals, as part of the Fleet Scholars Education Program an-nounced in NAVADMIN 254/15, Oct.29.

The program is geared for junior and mid-level unrestricted line and information dominance corps officers. Selections will be made and forwarded by community sponsors by Dec. 16. Communities have the following allocations: aviation, 7; surface, 7; submarine, 4; special warfare, 3; expeditionary combat, 3; IDC, 6.

FSEP selectees can choose any accredited graduate school in the continental U.S., Alas-ka or Hawaii, and attend for up to 24 months. Distance learning, medical, and legal educa-tion programs aren’t allowed. Those officers who’ve already received an advanced degree funded by the Navy are not eligible; this does not include those who earned a degree using their G.I. Bill, tuition assistance or Navy Col-lege Program for Afloat College Education.

“I think a lot of high-achieving officers have a common draw toward civilian education at

schools like Harvard or Yale. So there comes a time when they have to decide if it’s worth getting out to achieve that education that has always been a dream, or should they stay in and continue serving the Navy which is also a dream of theirs,” said Lt. Cmdr. Joel Jacobs, a postgraduate student at Harvard University. “FSEP fills both voids. You can take your [time to complete your degree], achieve that educa-tion, and still come back and continue your naval service.”

Officers who are selected for FSEP remain on active duty and will incur a three-year ac-tive duty service obligation following grad-uation or withdrawal from the program. If a member does not complete that service obli-gation, they will be have to reimburse the Navy the cost of their education received.

“Allowing people to pursue personal goals while staying in the Navy will increase reten-tion and also maximize the quality of officers that the Navy is retaining,” said Lt. Keith Hollis, a postgraduate student at Dartmouth College.

Thirty-seven new companies and organiza-tions were formally inducted into the Military Spouse Employment Partnership during a ceremony in Alexandria, Va., Oct. 28 bringing the total number of partners to 297.

The partners of the Military Spouse Employ-ment Partnership are committed to recruit-ing, hiring, promoting, and retaining military spouses in portable careers.

Since Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, launched the partnership in June 2011, partners have hired tens of thousands of mil-itary spouses, according to Stephanie Barna, acting assistant secretary of defense for man-power and reserve affairs.

“I state for the record and for the first time publicly, you – our valued partners – have hired more than 82,000 military spouses,” Bar-na said during the induction ceremony at the Mark Center.

“Although MSEP is still a young program, we have known from day one how eager each of you is to hire our spouses,” Barna said. “You clearly see our spouses as having the knowl-edge, skills and, most importantly, values that your business needs to develop and reach out to new markets, and deliver new and im-proved products and services.

Rosemary Williams, deputy assistant secre-tary of defense for military community and family policy, addressed the military spouses in attendance. “You represent the thousands of military spouses – both men and women – around the globe who are searching for mean-ingful employment and career opportunities that will not only fulfill your career dreams, but provide your families with a greater level of financial stability that keeps you strong and resilient,” she said.

‘Building Relationships’

Kristine Kash, a military spouse and an em-ployee of Military Spouse Employment Part-nership partner Starbucks, also spoke as part of the ceremony.

“Today’s ceremony is centered around ‘building relationships,’ which is perfect, be-cause when I joined Starbucks eight months ago, that was my only option – to build rela-tionships,” said Kash.“My husband deployed to Iraq the same week I started with the com-

pany. I knew no one. I had just moved into a new apartment. The reason I resigned from my previous career and gravitated towards Starbucks was because of the stories I had heard from those who worked there were so inspiring. Everyone was always so happy and engaged.”

After the ceremony, partners attended a meeting focused on the day’s theme of build-ing stronger relationships in support of mili-

tary spouse employment.As part of the broader Department of De-

fense Spouse Education and Career Op-portunities Program, the Military Spouse Employment Partnership is a targeted recruit-ment and employment solution. It addresses the employment challenges facing military spouses while, at the same time, provides part-ner employers with access to a pool of high-ly-qualified military spouses.

Nearly three dozen government officials from Indonesia, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom gathered in Jakarta Oct. 29 to continue their efforts to protect and preserve sunken sovereign vessels in the Java Sea, many of which serve as war graves.

“This year’s conference was another opportunity to raise awareness about the efforts to protect and preserve these mar-itime war wrecks,” said Naval Attache for the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta Capt. Mark Stacpoole. “The close collaboration during this year’s meetings will enable us to unify our efforts to main-

tain recognition and respect for these final resting places of our service members, who, in the words of Lincoln, ‘gave the last full measure of devotion.’”

Officials from participating countries included representa-tives from their embassies, navies, and cultural and educational ministries, as well as Indonesian maritime and civil police offi-cers, who have been working to stem unauthorized activities that have impacted the state of preservation of wreck sites in the area.

During the course of meetings, participants provided back-ground briefs on their protection efforts. The groups also col-laborated on other ways to create and sustain awareness to dis-suade criminal activity, recognizing there are mutual national interests in doing so.

The parties agreed to open a museum exhibit in Indonesia highlighting the history of the wrecks, which will help educate residents and foster a sense of joint responsibility for respect-ing the sanctity of those men lost in service. The group has an ambitious completion date of March 1, 2016, for the first phase of the exhibit, which coincides with 74th anniversary of the Battle of Sunda Strait. In addition to the museum exhibit, there is also a battle site commemoration planned to recognize and honor those lost during the war.

“I’m genuinely pleased with the resolve and determination by all involved,” said retired Rear Adm. Sam Cox, director, Naval History and Heritage Command. “The partnering our nations have undertaken to ensure the sanctity of these war graves is something that transcends our borders.”

Immediately preceding the multi-national gathering in Indo-nesia, was an undersea dive conducted from the USNS Safe-guard (T-ARS 50). U.S. Navy divers, assisted by personnel from the Indonesian Navy, revisited the WWII wrecks believed to be those of HMAS Perth (D29) and the cruiser USS Houston (CA 30). While the visit was limited to visual inspection and docu-mentation, it served as a necessary and important follow up to the June 2014 survey which resulted in the initial assessment of the condition of the Houston wreck.

As part of the Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training ex-ercise in June 2014, U.S. Navy divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit ONE, with personnel from the Indonesian Navy, surveyed the wreck. Over the course of 19 dive excursions, both ends of the wrecked vessel were marked with buoys, and the exposed port side, as well as the deck, was documented using video recording. U.S. In a November 2014 report, Navy under-water archaeologists assessed that was conclusive evidence of a pattern of unauthorized disturbance of the gravesite.

USS Houston, nicknamed “The Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast,” was sunk in combat during the WWII Battle of Sunda Strait in 1942. Capt. Albert H. Rooks, the ship’s commanding officer who was killed in action, posthumously received the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism, while USS Houston was awarded two battle stars, as well as the Presidential Unit Citation. The site of the sunken ship is the final resting place of nearly 650 Sailors and Marines.

The data collected by the dive exercise will help the U.S. em-bassy in Indonesia and Naval Historical Heritage Command catalog the current state of the wrecks.
