ENERGY AWARENESS TIP OF THE WEEK To reduce your office’s energy usage, use natural lighting or daylight. When feasible, turn off lights near windows.

If it’s not possible to turn off lights just near windows, use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it, to directly illuminate work areas.

Be on the lookout for the Commanding Officer’s Energy Challenge!

Dominion Virginia Power details how to reduce energy usage, saving on winter bills From Dominion Virginia Power Cold weather is on the way and with it the potential for increased energy usage to keep homes and businesses warm and comfortable. Dominion Virginia Power reminds customers that making preparations now can help reduce energy waste during the winter months when energy usage climbs.

“According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the heating and cooling system is the largest single energy user in most homes, accounting for nearly half of residential energy use,” said Brett Crable, director, energy conservation and new technology. “Maintaining your home’s

heating system, keeping the thermostat at an efficient temperature and sealing air leaks are the best ways to prevent wasted energy and a steep rise in your electric bill.”

Customers are urged to consider the following measures to help reduce energy usage during cold weather: 1. Set your thermostat at 68 degrees — Set your thermostat at 68 degrees or as close to it as you can for maximum efficiency.

2. Maintain your system — Have your heating system cleaned and inspected by a qualified professional. Replace air filters according to manufacturer’s guidelines.

3. Fix air leaks — Caulk and seal air leaks where plumbing, wiring or duct-

work penetrates through exterior walls, floors or ceilings.

4. Weatherize doors and windows — Check for gaps around exterior doors, and install weather stripping if needed. Inspect windows for cracks or missing caulk, and replace them if needed.

5. Seal air ducts — Use duct sealer or silicone caulk to seal any leaks, holes, or poor connections in ductwork. Make sure you insulate ductwork in unheated areas such as attics and crawl spaces to prevent radiant heat from escaping.

6. Increase attic insulation — Make sure your home is insulated based on recommended levels for your area. You can check recommended levels at www.energystar.gov.

7. Use window treatments — During the day, open shades and curtains on south-facing windows to let in the warm sunlight. To keep warm air in, close them at night.

8. Switch from traditional holiday lights to LEDS — Consider switching from traditional incandescent bulbs to light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which use up to

80 percent less energy and have a longer lifespan. LEDs also are cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire. Learn more holiday lighting tips and use our holiday lighting calculator to track your holiday lighting costs at www.dom.com/lightcalculator. You also can view the full list of winter energy-saving tips here: www. dom.com/wintertips.

Dominion also offers a variety of rebate programs to help homeowners offset the costs of many of these conservation measures: www.dom.com/savenowva.

CRIC designs prototype for collaborative 'LinkedIn-style' detailing system From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) — The Chief of Naval Operations' Rapid Innovation Cell (CRIC) recently developed a basic prototype for an information system that will promote more collaboration between Sailors and commands during the job detailing process.

"Our goal is to build a process that is transparent, flexible and gives more influence to commands, so they can build better teams, as well as to Sailors so they can have more say over their lives," said Lt. Cmdr. Mike Mabrey, CRIC project lead.

Their clickable prototype represents the progress achieved after a two-day workshop with digital-services consulting group 18F, who strive to bring the best practices from top tech companies and startups to government systems.

“User-centric design is a huge tenet at 18F; we want to build technology with end users in mind,” said Alex Pandel, a user experience designer at 18F. “We gathered

as many of the end users in the room as possible for these two days to sketch potential interfaces for this tool to help align user needs and get something tangible that we could start building off of.”

This initiative advances the Department of Defense’s vision for all the services to create smarter, more collaborative detailing systems.

“We’re going to launch LinkedIn-style pilot programs that help match up service members looking for their next assignment with units who are looking for qualified people to fill an opening,” said Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, in a recent interview on his Force of the Future initiative.

“Think of a [Sailor] logging on, setting up a profile, seeing what they’re qualified for and selecting what they want to do, while the unit looking to bring someone on sees the profiles that fit their criteria and chooses who they’re interested in,” Carter said.

This prototype and the CRIC’s work are at the forefront of the Navy’s early efforts

to develop a system in line with the DoD’s Force of the Future that also strengthens the Navy team.

CRIC Project Lead Lt. Cmdr. Rollie Wicks describes the platform as a “talent marketplace” and identifies three distinct user groups: Sailors, commands, and Naval Personnel Command (NPC).

In collaborative detailing, Mabrey said Sailors will have the ability to see the same job opportunities that the detailer sees and will have additional information on the specific requirements of the assignment as provided by the command itself.

The CRIC team also aims to create a simpler platform for Sailors to maintain and update their online record, so commands have the most accurate information on their skills, experience and needs.

“Navy personnel records exist across more than 100 different systems right now, and so it’s very difficult to update the Navy on the profile of you,” said Wicks.

“We’re trying to fix this so the Navy can better understand who you are, what your skills are and can then recruit you into a job that’s going to match those skills.”

As a separate user group, Mabrey said commands will have the ability to search these profiles, reach out directly to Sailors and use this information to put together the most compatible team for their specific mission requirements.

As the final user group, NPC’s role would be to reconcile the needs and wants of both commands and Sailors with any broader Navy requirements and other manning considerations, said Mabrey.

Wicks added that the CRIC is also working to leverage the modern mobile functionality already familiar to most Sailors.

“We grew up using computers,” said Wicks.“We want to be able to take a picture of our awards from our smart phone and use that to update our record online. We want online cloud computing services and mobile devices that make our lives easier.”

After further development, the CRIC will test the system by using the information dominance corps as a trial community in the fall of 2016.

“We’re going to allow them to use this information platform and we’re going to work with commands, Sailors and NPC to pilot this new talent marketplace concept,” said Mabrey. “From the information that we’ll gain over one year, we’ll be able to give some good data points to senior leaders and let them decide if we can scale this up to the broader officer pool and eventually the enlisted detailing process as well.”

The CRIC was established in 2012 to provide junior leaders with an opportunity to identify and rapidly field emerging technologies that address the Navy’s most pressing challenges.

NAVAL AVIATION MONUMENT The General Manager of the Colonial Shooting Academy, Jay Agustin, presents a check for $3,557 to retired Capt.

Attending the presentation from left are Mike Maus, COMNAVAIRLANT public affairs officer, Shannon Jennings, Academy events coordinator; Joyner, Agustin, Norm Guimond and Sonya Myers. The Colonial Shooting Academy (CSA) in Virginia Beach recently hosted a fundraiser and collected the money to support the upkeep of the Naval Aviation Monument Park located at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The monument park, a project of the Hampton Roads Squadron, Association of Naval Aviation, was dedicated in 2006 and honors the airmen and women who help defend our country and protect all freedom. There are six bronze statues in the park depicting eras of naval aviation, starting in the early 20th century, followed by World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the conflicts in the Middle East. During August and September, CSA donated 50 percent of the proceeds from sales of specially designated targets to the Monument Park maintenance fund. Additionally, there were three drawings for specially selected prizes and merchandise.

Colonial Shooting Academy is a state-of-the-art facility offering full service firearms training and recreational shooting.

PROMOTING WINTER SAFETY THROUGH ART

BY AD1 AUTUMN M. ZAWADZKI Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Every spring and summer Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic (FRCMA) hosts a Bi-Annual Safety Poster Contest. Sailors from FRCMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ve detachments are encouraged to be creative and design safety posters with the goal of enhancing safety awareness across the FRCMA enterprise.

The contest was started in the winter of 2013 with 10 entries. As word and support spread, there was a steady growth in participation. The winter 2015 poster contest was the most successful thus far for FRCMA, with a total of 56 entries. This is up from the summer 2015 contest, which was previously the most successful with 20 entries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was by far the best turnout that I have seen since starting this contest. The creativity that was shown by the FRCMA Sailors was unbelievable, making it difďŹ cult to select the winners,â&#x20AC;? said Capt. Joe Rodriguez, commanding ofďŹ cer, FRCMA. Judging was conducted on Dec. 16 by Capt.

Rodriguez, Command Master Chief Augustine Mark, and FRCMA production ofďŹ cer, Cmdr. Joe Montes.

Montes made it clear on where he places safety in regards to production by stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safety is the top item of interest for production. Everyone in this enterprise is a key component to the production effort

and is needed. We cannot afford for personnel to get hurt due to careless mistakes.â&#x20AC;?

After much review and deliberating, the winners were chosen. The 1st place prize was awarded to Aviation Support Equipment Technician 3rd Class Ashley Norton from NAS Oceana, 2nd place to Aircrew Survival Equipmentman Airman Samantha Whoriskey from Detachment Washington, 3rd place was awarded to Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 2nd Class Nuno Cunha from Detachment New Orleans, and an honorable mention was given to Aviation Machinistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mate Airman Angelica Keller from Detachment Norfolk.

When asked what his goals were for the next contest, Rodriguez said that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put a number on it. He feels that we are going in the direction that we should be going, but he would like to reach out to not only the active duty personnel throughout the enterprise, but also to the civilian workforce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy completing tasks like this for three reasons. First, they are fun. Second, it brings safety to the forefront, which is where it should be. Third, it taps into the innovative mind set in regards to the messaging, â&#x20AC;? said Rodriguez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is obvious that the message of safety is being heard and our safety departments and stand downs are providing the correct message to the troops. As a result we received quality posters that dictate safety.â&#x20AC;?

HARRY S. TRUMAN CSG LAUNCHES FIRST OIR MISSIONS From USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF (NNS) — Strike aircraft from nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) flew their first missions in support of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), the fight to destroy the ISIL terrorist organization, Dec. 29.

Truman and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 join French nuclear powered aircraft carrier FS Charles De Gaulle (R 91) in conducting combined combat operations in Iraq and Syria from the Arabian Gulf.

Rear Adm. Bret Batchelder, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 8, said the abilities his forces bring to the fight are a vital part of the DIME equation - diplomatic, informational, military and economic.

"Warfighting is the priority; that's why we are here," Batchelder said.

"We provide the hard power in the collective DIME, and look forward to contributing however we can.

Dual carrier operations with the

French allow us to maximize our firepower and provide a unique opportunity to further progress against ISIL. It validates our abilities to successfully operate as an international coalition while conducting very dynamic operations."

"We complement each other in that while one carrier is able to fly sorties in country to support OIR, the other carrier can conduct maintenance and prepare for the next day," said Capt. Fredrick Luchtman, commander, CVW 7. "The carriers can then swap, which allows us to put more sorties in country while we partner in this operation."

The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations supporting OIR, strike operations in Iraq and Syria, maritime security operations, and theater security cooperation efforts in the region.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROPOSES UCMJ CHANGES From Department of Defense Press Operations WASHINGTON — The Department of Defense recently forwarded to Congress a legislative proposal to reform the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the statutory framework of the military justice system.The proposal is based on the recommendations of the Military Justice Review Group (MJRG), which conducted a detailed analysis of each article of the UCMJ, including the historical background of the UCMJ, current practice and comparison to federal civilian law.

In October 2013, former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, in response to a request from the senior uniformed leadership, directed the review of the UCMJ and its implementation in the Manual for Courts-Martial.

He also directed the review to consider the recommendations of a separate, congressionally-established panel

that examined the systems used to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate adult sexual assault and related offenses in the military. Each of the military services detailed military personnel to serve as members of the Military Justice Review Group. Andrew S. Effron, former chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, serves as director of the MJRG. “The services assigned a highly talented group of individuals to the MJRG,” said Effron. “Their comprehensive recommendations will contribute to the positive evolution of the military justice system.”

The department’s proposal is the first comprehensive military justice reform package submitted to Congress by the Department of Defense in more than 30 years. The proposed legislation includes 37 statutory additions to the UCMJ and substantive amendments to 68 current provisions of the UCMJ courts of appeals.

See something? Say something: Keep the Navy's network safe From The Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance Navy Cybersecurity Division (N2/N6F4) WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security's "If You See Something, Say Something"™ campaign raises awareness of terrorism indicators and stresses the importance of reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement.

A similar approach is needed in the cyber domain to protect the Navy's systems and networks.

If you see something suspicious or unauthorized, say something, because vigilance and adherence to cybersecurity best practices protects the Navy's operational capabilities.

What kinds of things should you look for and who should you tell?

According to the Navy Infor-

mation Assurance Program, commanding officers, commanders, officers-in-charge and directors are responsible for the overall implementation of information assurance (now called cybersecurity) at the command level.

They appoint information assurance managers (IAM) who report to the command on all cybersecurity matters.

Bottom line: Report suspicious or unauthorized cyber activity to your IAM, who should be identified in the plan of the day.

What kind of activities should you report to your IAM? Best practices for keeping Navy networks and systems secure are important to remember.

Topping the list of best practices is "Don't Take the Bait," which describes a form of email spoofing called "phishing" and how to recognize it. Phishing may involve sending unwanted e-mail

messages, often with malicious content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients in the hopes that at least one "takes the bait."

If you're on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), report spam and suspected phishing emails by forwarding them as an attachment to nmci_spam@ navy.mil, then delete them from your inbox and sent items folder.

Doing so will help NMCI block spammers and phishers. Also, report these emails to your IAM. For non-NMCI users, the best practice for possible phishing emails or emails that contain suspicious attachments is to delete them as well as report them to your IAM. Unsolicited emails that request sensitive personal or organizational information should be reported to your IAM. Attackers with this information can hurt

The department looks forward to working with Congress as lawmakers consider the recommendations. Visit www.navy.mil for more information on the proposed changes.

you personally by stealing your identity, threaten the operational security of the command, or make themselves appear legitimate to others so they can compromise the Navy's cyber defenses.

Report any unauthorized devices connected to the network.

Devices like thumb drives and cell phones may inadvertently contain software that allows an intruder inside the Navy's defenses if they're plugged into Navy computers or systems.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs, like some that share music files, should also be reported to your IAM because they can spread bad software inside the Navy's network defenses.

If the answer to any of the below questions raised by the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Response Team is "yes", report the incident to your IAM. Suspicious questioning: Are you aware of anyone attempting to gain information in person, by phone, mail, email or other means regarding the configuration or cybersecurity posture

of the Navy's network, websites, software or hardware?

Unauthorized access: Are you aware of anyone attempting (either failed or successful) to gain unauthorized access to systems or data?

Unauthorized changes or additions: Has anyone made unauthorized changes to the Navy's hardware or software without the knowledge, instruction, or consent of the Information Technology Department?

Unauthorized use: Are unauthorized people using Navy systems for storing or processing data? Are former Navy personnel still accessing Navy systems?

You are the target, but you are also the solution. Knowing the types of activities that could compromise the Navy's cyber defenses or indicate malicious intent as well as who should be alerted will help protect our mission, systems, networks and data.

Vigilance and commitment to cybersecurity is essential for protecting the Navy. Don't let complacency create new vulnerabilities.

Chisel: This full-body weight-training workout hits all your muscle groups using bands, dumbbells, body bars and your own body weight to build, tone, define and “chisel” your body in to a new physique.

Core Fitness Plus: This class provides an intense fullbody workout where dumbbells and stretch bands are used for toning. Cardio work is low impact without all the jumping and bouncing. Core Fitness Plus is great for the exercise novice.

EFT Circuit (Expeditionary Functional Training): This fast paced circuit type workout builds functional strength while improving flexibility, balance and core stability.

Fitness Fusion: This class uses a mixture of plyometrics and various other strength moves to firm and define muscles.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training): High Intensity Interval Training will keep your body guessing and take your endurance to a new level. Class includes short, repeated and challenging bursts of exercise with a short break — and then you’ll do it all over again.You will leave this class knowing you made the most of your hour.

Max Intensity: Try a different type of workout setting. Some key modalities of fitness (aerobic conditioning, endurance and flexibility) are incorporated into this non-static fitness setting. A fitness coach will lead you through endurance stations, core training, aerobic drills and challenge games — virtually anything goes as long

as you are “working it.” The results will produce better PRT scores, increased fitness and flexibility, and of course a better you.

Triple Threat: This class is a mix of cardio, strength and flexibility exercises each done for 20 minutes at a time for a total body workout.

Vinyasa Yoga: During this class, you will flow from pose to pose, linking movement with breath to build stamina, strength and flexibility - all while calming the mind.

Wednesday Express: A tabata-style class that mixes body weight exercises, calisthenics, cardio and strength training. This class is designed to push you to new limits Yoga: If you want to improve your flexibility, build strength and stamina, improve balance, mental focus and concentration as well as learn breathing techniques to maximize oxygen intake, then this class may be for you.

Yoga Restore: Slow down with Yoga Restore. Stretch and strengthen your muscles at a calming pace.

Zumba: This class is a fusion of Latin and international music. Zumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba participant to dance away their worries. It is based on the principle that workouts should be fun and easy to do. Zumba is a “feel-happy” workout that is great for the mind and body. ** Family friendly classes: Children ages 10 and older can participate in Core Fitness Plus, Stroller Aerobics, Yoga Restore, Chisel and Zumba.
