BY THOM SEITH CID Public Affairs The U.S. Navy's first Information Dominance Basic Course (IDBC) concluded March 20 at the Center for Information Dominance Unit Hampton Roads (CIDUHR) at Dam Neck Annex, Virginia Beach. Guest speaker at the graduation ceremony was Rear Adm. Matthew Kohler, commander, Navy Information Dominance Forces. IDBC is a three-week pilot course for all new Information Dominance Corps (IDC) officers. The course is designed to expose new IDC officers — most of whom are new to the Navy — to the organizational structure and functions unique to each of the IDC specialties: Information Professional (IP), Information Warfare (IW), Intelligence, Meteorology/Oceanography (METOC), and Space. "The IDBC is an important step forward for the Information Dominance Corps," Kohler said. "It sets the foundation for all Information Dominance professionals, before they begin development within their individual information dominance tribes, by providing a comprehensive understanding of the collective strength of information dominance capabilities, and the warfighting advantage it brings to the Navy." The first IDBC iteration was a pilot and gave the CID team an opportunity

The search for women enlisted submariners begins STORY BY AT2 JANEL PERKINS NAS Oceana Public Affairs The Enlisted Women in Submarine (EWIS) roadshow stopped at NAS Oceana March 12 to provide information about the Navy-wide search for enlisted women to join the submarine force. In July 2014, the Secretary of the Navy approved plans to integrate enlisted women into submarine ratings, which previously were exclusively offered to men. Commander, Submarine Force is accepting applications to start the integration process from now until April 15. The enlisted community managers (ECM) will begin to view the applications after that date and choose the candidates and will notify them of their selection in late May or early June. The roadshow traveled to the four major fleet- concentrated areas in the continental United States to spread the message about this historic opportunity and to answer any questions that potential women submariners may have. Female enlisted Sailors will initially be integrated on Ohio-class submarines, the largest submarines in the fleet. The first round of selectees will be placed on USS Michigan in Bangor, Wash. and they will continue to integrate more submarines in this class from now to 2021. Once the Ohio-class submarines are fully integrated, they will begin to integrate the Virginiaclass submarines. The brief was separated into three sections; general information about submarines and an overview of the integration process, what to expect life to be like as a woman submariner and the process of applying and being accepted and converting to the submarine ratings. The bulk of the conversation was structured around the rules and regulations of putting in a conversion package, which is the only way that is currently available for a woman to be considered to serve on submarines.
ECMs will be awarding 34 conversions in the Navy this year. Lt. Cmdr. James Drumgole, the head non-nuclear enlisted submarine community manager stressed how important it was for each applicant to put the best possible package forward. The EWSTF also encourages Sailors to continue on their current career paths in addition to submitting their package. The acceptance into this program is first priority over all regular processes so any other career choices that would have been made by an accepted Sailor would be voided.
It wasn’t just all roses when we first showed up… Ultimately what won them over was being a good watch officer … ” -Lt. Jennifer Carrol
Drumgole also mentioned that all submarine ratings require a secret clearance and that it is important for Sailors to contact their security managers as soon as possible to start that process. To aid in the selection process, all of the applicants’ information will be placed in a computer program and put in order according to who would be the best fit for the job. The ECMs will make their selections and alternates from that list. Capt. Rod Hutton, the deputy of the Enlisted Women in Submarines Task Force (EWSTF), set out to dispel a few myths. “Don’t watch ‘Das Boot’ to decide what life on a submarine is going to look like today or worse don’t watch ‘Down Periscope’ because that is not a great example of what

the submarine force will be like with women in the submarine force,” he said. One rumor that Hutton tackled was hot racking, a term commonly used when day and night shift Sailors are required to share a rack, or bed, to maximize space. According to Hutton, no one has to share a bed aboard Ohio-class submarines due to their size, which is comparable to an Arleigh Burke-Class Guided Missile Destroyer. “Think of a four story building two football fields long that goes more than 20 miles an hour under water … When I went back to command USS Georgia, one of our Ohio-class submarines, I literally had to walk around biting the inside of my cheek to keep the goofy grin off of my face as I walked around,” Hutton said. Master Chief Fire Control Technician (SS) Ed Brennen, Chief of the Boat (COB) of USS La Jolla (SSN 701) stationed in Norfolk, talked about the life of a submariner and what to expect the first two years aboard. He explained that the initial training would be qualifying for watches and learning about the ship and how it operates. He also stressed to the people in attendance that every submariner that joins the force is required to do a minimum of three years of sea duty with no exceptions. Brennan also talked about how the submarine experience is very team oriented and that all people are needed and have
an important role to play. “We can only achieve together ... We pick each other up. You will become a member of that team as soon as you show up to your submarine, and you will be embraced in that.” Lt. Jennifer Carrol, the EWIS coordinator and one of the first female officers to work aboard a submarine, spoke to the group about her decision to become one of the first women to work on a ship. She discussed how rewarding it was for her to be a part of the submarine force. “It wasn’t just all roses when we first showed up… Ultimately what won them over was being a good watch officer … I was a contributing member of the crew, they respected that… I think my harshest critics were my fiercest supporters by the time I left,” said Carrol. Gas Turbine Systems Technician - Mechanical 2nd Class Brittany Haley left the brief determined to put in an application. “Just the chance to be a part of history, like in first females who were in the Navy, and the women who were spitfire women, who flew planes during WWII. I would love to be able to show my daughter her mom was a part of history,” Haley said. For more information, contact your career counselor or take a look at the EWIS page on the Navy Personnel Command website, http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/enlisted/community/submarine/ Pages/EnlistedWomeninSubmarines.aspx.

eDIVO Mobile App for U.S. Navy Division Officers Now Available From Sea Warrior Program Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) — The Navy launched a new app named eDIVO, designed to provide junior officers and enlisted chief petty officers with quick access to information and resources all conveniently located within one mobile application. The eDIVO app is the creation of two junior officers, Lieutenants Charlie Hymen and John Harry, who were frustrated with the arduous task of sifting through numerous websites and documents in search of military guidance. Today, their idea and determination has led to the eDIVO app, developed by the Navy and now available for free in the App Store and Google Play Store. The eDIVO app aggregates publicly available information providing quick access to over 44 documents and 8,300 pages of information in one convenient place significantly decreasing the amount of time it takes to search for frequently needed information. In addition, the eDIVO app works disconnected thus enabling use anywhere, whether ashore or afloat. “The basic concept was to design a mobile app to help division officers and chief petty officers with their dayto-day management of personnel and divisional affairs, as well as give them the tools to succeed as effective leaders,” said Hymen. “Actually seeing our app turn into a reality is very fulfilling.” “We are thrilled to see this app launched today in both the Apple and Android platforms because we understand first-hand how this product will make life easier for the division officer,” said Harry. eDIVO is a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) tool available for smartphones and tablets, and allows the division officers to find applicable information such as basic military requirements, evaluation writing, sexual assault and harassment, legal issues, enlisted advancement, equal opportunity, and navigation basics. It is designed to
help DIVOs take the appropriate steps when faced with typical situations they encounter day-to-day. Beta testers of eDIVO have given the app positive reviews. Lt. j.g. David Galiyas, assistant plans and policies officer, Amphibious Squadron (COMPHIBRON) 6 said, “Instead of spending countless hours searching for instructions, forms and other essential administration, division officers have all of the necessary tools at their fingertips, and can spend more time leading and developing their Sailors. I can’t stress enough how much of a positive impact eDIVO will have on the Surface Navy.” Also included with the app is a Rules of the Road quiz that includes a question bank of over 1200 questions (and answers) ensuring that those standing watch are equipped with the resources and training they need to keep their ships safe. Lt. j.g. Hans Lauzen, eDIVO tester and combat information center officer, USS Essex (LHD 2) stated, “eDIVO revolutionizes the way a DIVO can work, and brings being a Naval Officer into the 21st century. Being able to access key publications, helpful tips, and Rules of the Road quizzes from my phone, I am able to immediately make an impact within my division. It even works on airplane mode so I can use it on the high seas!” The division officer app was developed by the U.S. Navy Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) and produced under an agile development process that allowed an operational utility prototype to be released within six months. This process was specifically designed to develop the eDIVO app, and future apps, on a short timeline and small budget. Tracen Technologies Inc., a company that specializes in integrated mobile and web solutions, was the software developer.

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER Secrets to success
BY LT. ROBERT FASNACHT CVW-3 Chaplain A Spiritual Look at the Investor’s Business Daily Top Ten Secrets to Success: #6—Learn to Analyze Details: Get all the facts, all
the input. Learn from your mistakes. At ďŹ rst glance, this principle of success seems all about the practical — the tangible. Analyzing details is the specialty of military personnel, and the most successful commanding ofďŹ ces and admirals I have seen in action have been masters of taking in and sifting data at lightning-fast speeds, often schooling those who think they are on top of their numbers who are giving the briefs, pointing out the smallest mistakes that even they
had missed! Yes, military success stories get all the facts and analyze details. Yet this key to success is also a key to going on a great spiritual walk or journey of depth and consequence. If you read Scriptures that are Holy to you (or if you’re about to begin), I encourage you to slow down and really take in all the input, take in all that’s written and really analyze it. I bet I can show you an example that will illustrate what I’m talking about. If you take a Bible (Judeo-Christian) and read
the ďŹ rst chapter, you’ll have read one of the most famous creation accounts in all of literature, one that most people are familiar with even if they are not of those religions. Most people know the story’s structure — that God created things, He saw that they were good, and there was evening and morning. Now let me ask you, did you notice that over and over, on every day of the week, God says something about that day was good (or very good on the sixth day) but that
is not said of the second day? Look again — on the second and only the second day it is not said “and it was goodâ€?. When someone ďŹ rst pointed this out to me, I took it as a call to get much more like a detective when reading Scripture. To slow down and analyze not what I think I know it says but what it really says. I learned from my mistake, and ever since then reading my Holy Scriptures has been an adventure in uncovering more and more things. I hope that
you re-examine your Holy writings and ďŹ nd for the ďŹ rst time things that will amaze and delight you. So what does it mean that the second day was not declared “good.â€? Go get ‘em, detective! Life is about the journey, and the most glorious discoveries are spiritual. If you’d ever like to share what you discover by researching all the facts and theories or ask me what I’ve found out about this biblical mystery, you can visit me at the NAS Oceana base chapel or ask your own chaplain.

VBSS BOARDING OFFICER COURSE RESTRUCTURED BY DARRYL ORRELL Center for Security Forces Public Affairs The Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) announced the successful implementation of changes to the Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) Boarding Officer course, March 20. "The changes to the course were nearly across the board from mission planning to the various types of boarding," said William Goodnoh who serves as the course curriculum model manager for VBSS and advanced tactics. "This stems from major changes to the references that drive the Fleet's training requirements and to the biometric gear itself." Goodnoh highlighted a new blended-learning aspect to the
course, which keeps students actively engaged in the learning process. Rather than have boarding officers sit in a classroom for four days and then apply learned skills in a practical exercise, they now begin building their learned skills in lock step or sync with the course. "Take mission planning for example. Students will learn the structure of a warning order, its purpose and will then, based on the specific mission requirements, commander's intent and bits of intelligence we provide for that mission profile, begin to build a mission plan," explained Goodnoh. Goodnoh pointed out that this blended-learning approach keeps the students engaged in
the training and with the instructors. Instead of sharing old sea stories during breaks, students now discuss course topics such as biometrics because of this new learning approach. "The biometrics equipment had a significant change to its software and so much so we had to completely rebuild those topics in the course.This fell in good timing because the last readiness review revealed that Type Commanders preferred boarding officers teach biometrics to his/her team," said Goodnoh. The advantage, according to Goodnoh, is that a boarding officer can now pick from among the best of his/her team and train that person or personnel to perform the collection of biometrics when
The changes to the course were nearly across the board from mission planning to the various types of boarding.” -William Goodnoh
required by the mission task. "The course also features homework assignments whether it's a five paragraph order for a mission, or an assignment that relates to the current course topic discussed at the end of the class day," said Goodnoh. "We also show a video that features lessons learned and this serves as quite an eye-opening experience for students."
The initial pilot took place at CENSECFOR Detachment Chesapeake, which is located in southeast Virginia. The new course structure received high favor from the instructor staff and students alike. It has since been incorporated at the remaining four schoolhouses delivering this training that are located in the San Diego, Pearl Harbor and Mayport Fleet concentration areas. Open to paygrades E-6 through O-4, the course consists of 12 hours of classroom instruction and 20 hours of laboratory instruction. Students are guided through the required procedures for boarding, the collection of biometrics; conduct while on board, and preparation of reports and evidence packaging. The Center for Security Forces provides specialized training to more than 28,000 students each year. It has 14 training locations across the United States and around the world where training breeds confidence.
ST. PATRICK’S DAY
Graduates: completed 3-week pilot course for new Information Dominance Corps officers — Continued from page 1 for course development and to evaluate the course with actual students.The pilot consisted of four instructors and 14 students, with representatives from each of the IDC communities. “IDBC represents a paradigm shift for IDC training,” explained Capt. H. E. Williams, commanding officer of the CID Unit Hampton Roads. “While IDC officers will continue to be groomed as specialists and leaders in each of the IDC tribes — METOC, Intelligence, IW, IP, and Space — the IDBC gives the new officers an understanding of capabilities across the ID spectrum.” The Center for Information Dominance (CID), based at Corry Station in Pensacola, Florida, is the Navy’s learning center that leads, manages and delivers Navy and joint forces training in
information operations, information warfare, information technology, cryptology and intelligence. With nearly 1,300 military, civilian and contracted staff members, CID provides training for approximately 24,000 members of the U.S. armed services and allied forces each year. CID oversees the development and administration of 226 courses at four commands, two detachments, and 14 learning sites throughout the United States and Japan.

POST-9/11 GI BILL INSTRUCTION UPDATED, GIVES EASY STEPS TO TRANSFER BENEFITS From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Navy leaders announced March 20 an update to the instruction governing the Post-9/11 GI Bill Educational Assistance Program which outlines specific steps for Sailors to follow to properly transfer their benefits to family members. OPNAV Instruction 1780.4 was updated March 2 and consolidates policy detailed in NAVADMINs 187/09, 203/09, 354/09, and 235/11. A naval message is planned announcing the instruction update and cancelling those NAVADMINs. Qualified active duty and Reserve Sailors may elect to transfer benefits to a spouse or children, with some or all
benefits allocated to those named. The instruction includes the Transfer of Benefits (TEB) steps in order to create a simple checklist that Sailors can follow to ensure they successfully complete the process. It outlines everything from verifying their family members are enrolled in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment System (DEERS) to eligibility requirements, service obligations and what to do if a request is rejected. The instruction can be found at this link,http://doni.documentservices.dla. mil/Directives/01000%20Military%20 Personnel%20Support/01-700%20Morale,%20Community%20and%20Religious%20Services/1780.4.pdf.
Project: to restore and enhance Dam Neck oceanfront and dune system — Continued from page 1 Dam Neck is located on the Atlantic coast, five miles south of the downtown resort of Virginia Beach. The base is the home of specialized training and support services in response to fleet requirements, with a concentration on major naval weapons systems. The project will comply with all applicable environmental, historic preservation and coastal zone management laws to avoid and protect environmental or historical resources or the Navy will take steps to mitigate impacts to those resources. If any unanticipated discovery takes place, such as paleo-cultural or marine archaeological sites or munitions and explosives of concern, BOEM and the Navy will determine together how best to manage it, in accordance with applicable requirements. BOEM has the authority to convey, on
a noncompetitive basis, the rights to resources for shore, beach or wetland restoration projects, or for use in construction projects funded in whole or part, or authorized by the federal government. In exercising this authority, BOEM may issue a negotiated non-competitive lease agreement for the use of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) sand to a qualifying entity. BOEM has invested more than $40 million over the past 20 years to identify non-energy resources on the OCS, conduct world-class scientific research, and lease OCS resources to coastal communities and other Federal agencies in need. Information from environmental research and resource identification has informed environmental assessment and leasing decisions concerning the use of OCS sand resources in beach nourishment and coastal restoration.
