Despite fears of a looming “fiscal cliff” and sequestration, the Dahlgren/Ft. A.P. Hill Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) not only met but exceeded its 2012 goal, netting $446,619 in donations to thousands of charities. The goal for the combined bases was $425,000.

The campaign, which began September 1, was extended past its traditional, OPM-mandated deadline of Dec. 15 to Dec. 31 in an effort to increase donations.

While the extended deadline undoubtedly helped with fundraising, the base goal had already been met before the extension was announced.

“There’s no way we could’ve accomplished such a monumental feat without the help of so many great volunteers,” said Jeron Hayes, 2012 Dahlgren CFC Chair.

“Throughout the commands at Dahlgren and Ft. A.P. Hill, we have a large group of active, vital volunteers that work so hard to get the word out about CFC. Their efforts have been rewarded with the extraordinary amount raised this year.”

CFC volunteers gathered on Dec. 11 to honor their

Hill planning committee members and keyworkers, as well as recipients of CFC Hero Awards.

Command Master Chief James Honea welcomed the group and thanked them for their service. “Part of my job is to support young military members as they navigate their way through the U.S. Navy. I know there are many programs in CFC that

provide support for them as well as their family members, and military members around the world. Because you take the time to inform our work force about these organizations, our military members receive what they need to help them be the

best Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and Marines they can be,” said CMC Honea.

Meghann Cotter, a representative from Micah Ecumenical Ministries, addressed the group as well.

Micah, based in Fredericksburg, Va., is a participating agency in the Potomac CFC campaign that benefits directly from donations designated by Dahlgren employees. She told how their program to help the homeless has grown from offering a meal on weekends to securing homes for the homeless, securing jobs and providing the necessities to be able to care for themselves.

Volunteers were commended for their creative ideas for fundraising, including decorating paper snowmen fitted with photos of department heads, chili cook-offs, “jersey days”, bake sales and numerous “Penny Wars” events.

“You’re going to receive a piece of paper today, something you can keep as a reminder of your service,” Hayes told the group of volunteers. “Little is printed on it, but if it could, it would tell

you that it brings you gratitude from people that received medical care, shelter, food, education and training and general assistance when they really needed it and couldn’t otherwise get it. A wounded service member is thanking you for the service dog that has made their life so much easier. A child who might not have gotten a meal thanks you for feeding them. Someone who is ill and couldn’t afford medical care thanks you for helping them get better. A family in New Jersey who survived Hurricane Sandy with little more than the clothes on their backs thanks you for shelter against the next storm,” said Hayes.

Awards were presented to Navy Air and Missile Defense Command (NAMDC) as small command and Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) as large command for achieving the highest percentage of donors based on their command size.

The Dahlgren CFC “Spirit Award” was given to Deltra Davis of Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (ABMD). Davis, who was nominated by five different volunteers, was recognized for her amazing spirit and creativity in creating fundraising events and motivating personnel to not only give to CFC, but become involved in the effort to promote it. Davis, who replaced a Navy officer as CFC representative for her command, “stepped up as an involved, creative committee member that rallied the troops and began planning special events and interfacing with her command leadership to determine how best her command could meet and exceed their donation goal. She assists with all facets of base committee events and has worked hard to recruit others from her command to get involved in events and as keyworkers.” Davis is credited with creating a robust Penny Wars competition at ABMD, as well as organizing a command-wide CFC kickoff event along with other special events. Davis was not in attendance at the celebration so that she could coordinate a CFC fundraising event happening at her command at the same time.

Some CFC volunteers also received “Hero Awards” based on nominations by fellow volunteers that recognized employees that went above and beyond in assisting the CFC. Recipients included - Bonita Simpson, JWAC employee and long-time CFC volunteer who was credited with retaining many happy keyworkers

The 2012 Dahlgren Combined Federal Campaign netted over $460,000. The many volunteers who participated in the program were honored at a luncheon on Dec. 11. Volunteers received certificates of appreciation and kudos for their many creative fundraising ideas, including snowmen representing departments heads and successful Penny Wars competitions. While many of Aegis BMD’s departments participated and decorated their penny jars, the ABMD International Office received recognition as “best decorated” for their depiction of a penny jar decorated as Sir Nigel Pennyblocker.

from year to year and providing creative ideas to increase command fundraising totals despite a large loss of employees; - Jim Bussert, Camille Ward, Nga Pham and Tiffany Owens, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) G Dept. keyworkers that worked as a team to inform employees of the campaign. They were credited with a “hands-on” approach that included not leaving a pledge form on a desk unless the employee was present, and an individual note of thanks to all employees before they made a decision about giving; - ABH1 Jesus Vera, NSASP, who served as co-

chair of the 2012 committee, was cited for his service on the Local Federal Campaign Committee as well his dependability in helping coordinate logistics for special events; - FC1 Phillip Wiggins, Aegis Training and Readiness Center sailor who was recognized for being a “dependable, reliable hard working member.” Wiggins was credited with volunteering use of his personal vehicles to transport heavy items for special events and recruiting volunteer mili-

tary personnel to help with events. “He never hesitated to help with the physical labor required to set-up prior to every CFC Base event.

During preparations for the CFC Kick-off events he suggested more efficient and easier ways to unload, lay out and set-up the equipment (tents, tables, chairs).”

Michael Purello, NSWCDD Z20 department for his creative guidance in the first-ever department Penny Wars competition.

Purello was credited with researching the rules, involv-

ing department heads and contributing to a fundraiser that earned over $1000 - Brandy Plucker and Jess Mead, NSWCDD Q Dept. employees who provided graphics assistance on multiple successful Q Dept. fundraisers CFC is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, with more

than 200 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally to help to raise millions of dollars each year.

Navy Chief Retires

By J. Steven Moore JWAC Public Affairs

U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Loren P. Laub of the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) retired after more than 20 years of naval service December 12, 2012.

Laub reported to JWAC in April 2008 as a cryptologic technician administrative (CTA1) who was supposed to work in JWAC’s security office. However, he was assigned instead to the command’s human resource division.

Soon after he arrived, Laub was promoted to chief in September 2008 and became the command’s senior enlisted leader 2011.

“Becoming the senior enlisted leader is a hard, hard job,” Laub told family, friends, and co-workers at his retirement ceremony at the Riverside Center in Fredericksburg, Va. “You have to make choices impacting someone’s life and career.”

Originally from Seymour, Tenn., Laub joined the Navy in May 1992. He attended Airman School at Service Schools Command in Great Lakes, Ill. His first assignment was on the USS Saipan (LHA2), home ported in Norfolk, Va., where he changed his

rate from airman to seaman.

He attended CTA “A” school in Pensacola, Fla. Upon graduation, he reported to Special United States Liaison Advisor of Korea (SUSLAK) where he worked in the Special Security Officer Office (SSO).

In 1996, Laub transferred to the Naval Security Group Activity (NSGA) at Fort Meade, Md. He gained experience working in a classified mailroom, SSO, and Military Testing and Training.

In 1999, Laub reported to the USS Spruance (DD-963) in Mayport, Fla. There, he earned his Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS) pin and completed two Mediterranean deployments. The Spruance also helped guard the East Coast following 9/11.

In 2002, Laub transferred to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in Charleston, S.C. There, he became the Leading Petty Officer for the command while working at the SSO. He also earned his bachelor’s degree in security management.

His final assignment before coming to JWAC was at the Naval Security Group Activity in Pensacola, Fla. He worked as the commander’s writer, performed duties as a Cryptologic Technician Networks, and deployed to

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to support the Global War on Terror’s detainee operations.

During this time, Laub also traveled to Qatar as the Special Operations Command Central forward deployed unit called the Cultural Engagement Group.

Laub received the Joint Service Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal twice, the Navy Achievement Medal four times, the Good Conduct Medal four times, the National Defense Service Medal twice, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Armed Forces Service Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon three times, the Overseas Service Ribbon, NATO, the Kuwait Liberation Medal, The Expert Pistol Qualification Medal, and the Expert Rifle Qualification Medal.

“You can get anything you want out of the Navy,” Laub said in conclusion, “It depends of what you are willing to reach for.”

Laub is married to the former Olivia Joy Heddy of Memphis, Tenn. and has three daughters.

TOPS’ Ten Ways to Stay Cool when Conversation Gets Hot With the new year comes the inevitable New Year’s Resolution. Perhaps yours is to work harder to spend more time with family. Resolve to meet with family and friends to share in good cheer. Occasionally, “cheer” can turn to “chore,” and stressed-out tempers can heat up and singe others in the process.

Here are a few tips from TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, to help you keep a cool head when it starts getting hot: 1. Know your triggers. Is it a certain person who gets your blood boiling? Or is it a specific situation that can melt your otherwise cool resolve to be pleasant and cheerful? Or is there a certain time of day when you can be more vulnerable and quick-tempered? Recall times when you have successfully overcome these triggers in the past and apply them to the present.

2. It’s not all about you. yet it’s up to you.

Everyone deals with stress and social situations differently. Don’t take things too personally. You can control only one person’s reaction to stress - yours. Resolve to be the epitome of cool, calm, and collected demeanor and a good example for others.

3. Mind environmental influences. A festive background should stay in the background. Rather than rocking around the clock or the tree, maintain a calmer ambiance with the warm glow of candles, subtle sounds of instrumental tunes, and inviting aromas that remind guests of happy times.

4. Look before you leap. Rather than jumping into the middle of a heated discussion, take a moment or few to listen and assess what is going on. If you must share your opinion, do so with gentle consideration for others and their points of view.

5. Prepare with self care. Don’t let the holidays or your companions wear you out or erode your resolve. Late hours, overindulgence in treats, and trying to accomplish too much in too little time all undermine your determination to live a healthy lifestyle. Nobody can or should do it all. Consider joining a local TOPS chapter for additional support, and attend your first meeting free of charge.

6. Remain in control. When you swallow pride, comments, or emotions, don’t accompany them with foods that may disrupt your healthy eating meal plan and weight management success. Instead, keep your thoughts

positive and coach yourself with affirmations, such as TOPS’, “I am an intelligent person. I will control my emotions and not let my emotions control me.”

7. Serenity now. Just as proper planning and preparation can help you accomplish healthy lifestyle goals, it also helps to navigate smoothly through the challenges of the holidays. Incorporate small, peaceful rituals such as breathing deeply or being mindful to enter each situation with a smile on your face.

8. Size matters. It’s all too easy to dramatize and think that something is a big deal when, in fact, it isn’t. Be honest with yourself.

Avoid the urge to think that every conflict is the end of the world. Use self-talk such as, “This is not a big deal,” or “I’m bigger than this,” to keep your thoughts straight and attitude cool.

9. Back off. When all else fails, remove yourself gracefully from the situation and allow it to resolve or dissolve on its own. This would be a good time to go for a walk and keep your physical activity up. Invite others to join you and converse about a new, neutral topic to diffuse focus on the uncomfortable situation.

10. Mission accomplished. If you’re motivated by rewards, promise to “treat” yourself to a non-food gift for making it through the holiday season without burning out or up perhaps a little pampering or the one gift that you forgot to ask for and would really enjoy.

TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is the original weight-loss support and wellness education organization. Founded more than 65 years ago, TOPS is the only nonprofit, noncommercial weight-loss organization of its kind. TOPS promotes successful weight management with a “Real People.

Real Weight Loss.R” philosophy that combines support from others at weekly chapter meetings, healthy eating, regular exercise, and wellness information. TOPS has about 170,000 members - male and female, age seven and older - in nearly 10,000 chapters throughout the United States and Canada.

Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. Membership is affordable at just $28 per year in the U.S. and $32 per year in Canada, plus nominal chapter fees. To find a local chapter, view www.tops. org or call (800) 932-8677.

Winter, Your Car and You Courtesy of the NSASP Safety Department

Driving in the winter means snow, sleet, and ice that can lead to slower traffic, hazardous road conditions, hot tempers and unforeseen dangers. To help you make it safely through winter, here are some suggestions from the National Safety Council to make sure that you and your vehicle are prepared.

Weather

No matter what the temperature, weather affects road and driving conditions and can pose serious problems. It is important to listen to forecasts on radio, TV, cable weather channel, or forecasts in the daily papers.

Your Car

Prepare your car for winter. Start with a checkup that includes: . Ignition, brakes, wiring, hoses and fan belts. . Spark plugs. . Air, fuel and emission filters, and the PCV valve. . Distributor. . Battery. . Tires (check air, sidewall wear and tread depth). . Antifreeze.

Your car should have a tune-up (check the owner’s manual for the recommended interval) to ensure better gas mileage, quicker starts and faster response on pick-up and passing power.

Necessary Equipment

An emergency situation on the road can arise at any time and you must be prepared.

Following the tune up, a full tank of gas, and fresh anti- freeze, your trunk should carry: . A properly inflated spare tire, wheel wrench and tripod- type jack . A shovel . Jumper cables

. Tow and tire chains . A bag of salt or cat litter . Tool kit

Essential Supplies

Be prepared with a “survival kit” that should always remain in the car. Replenish after use. Essential supplies include: . Working flashlight and extra batteries . Reflective triangles and brightly-colored cloth . Compass . First aid kit . Exterior windshield cleaner . Ice scraper and snow brush . Wooden stick matches in a waterproof container . Scissors and string/cord . Non-perishable, high energy foods like unsalted canned nuts, dried fruits, and hard candy . In addition, if you are driving long distances under cold, snowy, and icy conditions, you should also carry supplies to keep you warm, such as heavy woolen mittens, socks, a cap, and blankets.

If You Become Stranded

. Do not leave your car unless you know exactly where you are, how far it is to possible help, and are certain you will improve your situation. . To attract attention, light two flares and place one at each end of the car a safe distance away. Hang a brightly colored cloth from your antenna. . If you are sure the car’s exhaust pipe is not blocked, run the engine and heater for about 10 minutes every hour or so depending upon the amount of gas in the tank. . To protect yourself from frostbite and hypothermia use the woolen items and blankets to keep warm. . Keep at least one window open slightly.

Heavy snow and ice can seal a car shut. . Eat hard candy to keep your mouth moist.
