NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

NDW tightens security with NCACS By MC2 Kiona Miller, NDW Public Affairs

Naval District Washington (NDW) implemented the Navy's newest method of monitoring and granting access on to installations with an identification management system known as Navy Common Access Control System (NCACS) on Oct. 31, 2011. Commander, Installation Navy Command's (CNIC) regions are using the system to screen contractors, vendors and service providers who are not entitled to a Common Access Card (CAC) but request access to an installation. "In 2004, President Bush signed Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD12) policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors. Since that time, CNIC has developed and deployed NCACS, a system for use at the installations for vetting and clearing pre-approved contractors," said Robert Russell, with NDW's Operations Department. The system is set in place in accordance with CNIC's Notice 5530 and complies with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Navy (DoN) security policies and regulations.

Cpl. Mark Mondy, from the Naval District Washington Police Department, checks the identification of a Washington Navy Yard visitor. "[The goal is] to ensure that people with a reason to be on the installation have access and that "bad" people are not able to enter the installation and do harm to our people or hamper our mission accomplishment," said Brian Kelm, deputy commanding officer for

Navy installations to conduct exercise Solid CurtainCitadel Shield 2012 From U.S. Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs NORFOLK (NNS) -- Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) and Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) are in the final stages of planning the Force Protection and Anti-Terrorism (FP/AT) exercise Solid Curtain-Citadel Shield (SC/CS) 2012 to be conducted on naval bases and installations throughout the continental United States March 19-24. These annual exercises are designed to enhance the training and readiness of Navy security forces to respond

Women's History month: WWII era WAVES Courtesy of Naval History and Heritage Command After a twenty-three-year absence, women returned to general Navy service in early August 1942, when Mildred McAfee was sworn in as a Naval Reserve Lieutenant Commander, the first female commissioned officer in U.S. Navy history, and the first director of the WAVES, or "Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service". In the decades since the last of the Yeomen (F) left active duty, only a relatively small corps of Navy

Nurses represented their gender in the naval service, and they had never had formal officer status. Now, the Navy was preparing to accept not just a large number of enlisted women, as it had done during World War I, but female Commissioned Officers to supervise them. It was a development of lasting significance, notwithstanding the WAVES' name, which indicated that they would only be around during the wartime "Emergency". Establishing the WAVES was a

theft to active warrants, with the highest percentage being in drug cases at 35 percent. "The program is a success. We have had over 500 people turned away from having additional access to the installation," he said. "These are 500 people that, before this system, may have been able to get on our bases." At NSA Annapolis alone, NCACS found more than 50 applicants with criminal records since it was instituted this past summer. "We have identified personnel with felony convictions and personnel who are on the Department of Homeland Security Terrorist Watch List," said Kelm. "One person had a rap sheet in excess of 100 pages." Kelm also mentioned that NSA Annapolis has had minor challenges during the initial roll out phase; however, the installation has implemented modifications to close those loop holes. He went on to say that the new process was a culture change for many people and commands at the installation, but his team worked closely with leadership to make the system work smoothly. "This is a system whose time has come and it is a valuable tool to ensure smooth access to installations while maintaining effec-

Chaplain’s Corner:

Think you're ready for marriage? Five issues to start off on the right foot Spring is now only days away and during this time of year love is in the air. As the school rhyme goes, "First comes love, then comes marriage." If you are considering marriage there are five important issues you should discuss with your significant other before "taking the plunge." Having a strong understanding of where each of you stand on these issues will help lay the foundation for a fruitful, loving, and committed relationship. Take the time to talk through the following issues with each other over a quiet dinner, a peaceful walk, or a relaxing evening at home: 1.What is marriage? Asking each other this simple question can nip many marital problems in the bud before they arise. Having a healthy understanding of each other's thoughts on marriage will identify any differences and promote deeper discussion into each other's views. Ask each other: What is marriage? What is the purpose of marriage? What does a healthy marriage look like? What roles does a husband fill? A wife? What responsibilities will each of you handle in the relationship?

2. Understanding Family. Having a thorough knowledge of each other's family of origin is important in understanding where you and your spouse come from, the type of environment in which you grew up, and may identify possible areas of conflict in your own relationship. I recommend filling out a genogram (a schematic of family relationships) on each family and discussing it with each other and a counselor. Your views on children and parenting are also important. Do you want to have children? How many do you want to have? How will you discipline your children? How will you educate them?

Equally important is how you work together to resolve the conflicts that will inevitably arise in marriage. Resolving conflict in a healthy and respectful manner will work wonders for your marriage. Learn each other's style of conflict resolution and you can improve on your own weakness and understand each other's strengths. Consider going to a professional counselor to take a personality test such as the Myers-BriggsType Indicator (MBTI) or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). These tools can help you better understand your communication and conflict resolution styles.

3. Communication and Conflict Resolution. It is well known that healthy communication is vital to a healthy marriage. In order to communicate well, you must understand how each of you communicates. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, offers a very helpful online assessment that can help you determine your "love language." Visit it here: www.5lovelanguages.com/assessments/love.

4. Money. How a couple handles money is the source of a majority of the problems in a marriage. It is important, therefore, to sit down and discuss with each other how to manage the family income. A couple's first priority should be to sit down together and write out a family budget. There are many helpful tools available on writing family budgets. I find Dave

My wife Deborah Crosby. She motivated me to get an education. She's been pivotal in my life in pushing me and helping me to do my best. — Lt. Robert Crosby, Department of the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs

My mother was the most influential woman in my life, because she was always there for us no matter what was going on. Everybody could rely on her. — Scott Griffea, Naval Sea Systems Command

My mother – she never says I can't. She always does everything. I admire her, she's 75, and still never says I can't. — Doina Dascalu, Naval Facilities Engineering Command

Synthetic chemical compound abuse - Sailors who use, will lose By MC1 LaTunya Howard, Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- The Navy continued to emphasize the policy of zero tolerance for substance abuse by separating 1,515 Sailors in fiscal year 2011 for synthetic chemical compounds, commonly called Spice, and other drug usage according to an official Feb. 21. "Currently, we are discharging a number of Sailors for use of synthetic chemical compounds also known as Spice, sighting failure to obey a direct order," said Lanorfeia Holder, deputy director of Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP). "Those that are tested by our Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) are discharged under an Article 92 misconduct or an Article 112A which is drug abuse." A ban was placed on five synthetic cannabis compounds commonly found in the designer drug Spice, but also sold under different names, just one year ago March 1. AFMES has the ability to test for those five compounds via Navy Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS) at the request of unit commanders if probable cause is determined. Spice is a synthetic chemical compound that is sold as herbal incense and mimics the effects of the drug marijuana. Some of the compounds were initially developed as research to help individuals with certain brain conditions, but the research did not reach its fruition, according to Holder. Some of the short-term effects include auditory and visual hallucinations, painless head pressure, panic attacks, time distortion and delirium. Long-term effects from the designer drug can include permanent physical impair-

ment, mental illness or death. "We have Sailors who are having mental conditions that they will never recover from," said Holder. "Using synthetic chemical compounds is like playing Russian roulette; you never know what is in the package. As detection catches up with manufacturers, makers alter the ingredients in an attempt to avoid detection." OPNAVINST 5350.4D defines the scope of drug abuse as the wrongful use of controlled substances to include designer drugs, illicituse anabolic steroids, prescription or overthe-counter medication. The unlawful possession or use by Department of the Navy personnel of controlled substance analogues (designer drugs), natural substances, chemicals wrongfully used as inhalants, propellants, prescribed or over-thecounter medication or pharmaceutical compound with the intent to induce intoxication, excitement or stupefaction of the central nervous system is prohibited via SECNAVINST 5300.28D.Violators are subject to punitive action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 92. "If a Sailor is having issues with drug abuse or synthetic chemical compound use specifically, we recommend that they reach out to Military-One Source for confidential assessment and counseling at no cost to the Sailor," said Holder. "We also recommend members seeking substance use counseling talk with their doctor, chain-of-command or self-refer to a substance abuse rehabilitation program." For more information about synthetic chemical compounds like Spice or other designer drugs visit the NADAP page on the Navy Personnel Command website at www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/ nadap/education_training/pages/spice.aspx.

How much will we spend? How much will we give away? Where can we cut back? Where can we spend a little more? 5. Sex. Communicating about sex is central to maintaining an intimate relationship with your spouse. A helpful resource for married couples is Dr. Doug Rosenau's book A Celebration of Sex. He has also published versions for newlyweds and for couples over 50. Discuss these questions: What is the purpose of sex? What are your expectations? What is your sexual history? Knowing each other in such a profound and intimate way requires total transparency and trust. Communicating about sex before-hand will open the doors to true passion. Discussing these five topics openly and

honestly with each other will help each of you determine whether or not you are prepared for marriage. Having these discussions will also most likely result in a stronger bond between the two of you and a more unified front on where your relationship is headed. If you find it too daunting to tackle these issues alone visit a Chaplain or other clergy member, a Marriage and Family Therapist, or a Licensed Professional Counselor. These relationship professionals can help lead and guide your discussion on these topics. Contact your Chaplain's Office, the localWarfighter and Family Support Center, or visit www.militaryonesource.mil to find out how to get a hold of one of these professionals. Marriage is a wonderful gift of God and our love for one another should be a reflection of His love for us. Openly communicating on these topics before-hand will help us to love each other as He loves us and will help prepare us for a healthy start to a beautiful relationship. Here's to a wonderfully committed marriage! Chaplain Jonathan M. Craig, LTJG, CHC, USN

WAVES Continued from 1 lengthy effort. Inter-war changes in the Naval Reserve legislation specifically limited service to men, so new legislation was essential. Though far-sighted individuals in the Navy Department, and especially in the Bureau of Aeronautics, had long known that uniformed women would be a wartime necessity, general service opinion was decidedly negative until the crisis at hand. Even then, creative intrigue had to be used to get an authorization through the congress. President Roosevelt signed it into law on July 30, 1942. The next few months saw the commissioning of Mildred McAfee, and several other prominent female educators and professionals, to guide the new organization. Recruiting had to be undertaken (or at least managed, as the number of interested women was vast), training establishments set up, an administrative structure put in place and uniforms designed. The latter effort produced a classic design that still has

many elements in use nearly six decades later. Difficulties were overcome with energy and indispensable good humor, and within a year 27,000 women wore the WAVES uniform. These women served in a far wider range of occupations than had the Yeomen (F). While traditionally female secretarial and clerical jobs took an expected large portion, thousands of WAVES performed previously atypical duties in the aviation community, Judge Advocate General Corps, medical professions, communications, intelligence, science and technology. The wartime Navy's demand for them was intense as it struggled to defeat Hitler and Mussolini in Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific. At the end of the conflict, there were well over 8,000 female officers and some ten times that many enlisted WAVES, about 2.5 percent of the Navy's total strength. In some places WAVES constituted a majority of the uniformed naval personnel. And many remained in uniform to help get the Navy into, and through, the post-war era.

Veteran's Helper: Wounded Warrior's weekly source for federal employment assistance What's the Deal with Contractors and Veteran's Preference? Q: I am a disabled veteran and I was told by a recruiter that there was not any preference in hiring for federal contractors like there is for the government (where you get extra points on your application). Is that true?Wouldn't there have to be? A: Your recruiter was halfway right. There is not veteran's preference in federal contractors in the same way that there are for government positions. (Remember that even in advertised federal positions; preference only applies to those announcements open to all U.S. citizens or Delegated Examining.) Contractors and federal agencies have two different viewpoints: to compare them is the old apples and oranges analogy. But there are some protections in place for veterans who want to work for a contracting organization. Any contractor or subcontractor with a contract of $25,000 or more with the federal government must take affirmative action to hire and promote qualified targeted veterans. This includes disabled veterans, veterans of the Vietnam era, any other veterans who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized, and any veteran during the one-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty. Further, contractors and subcontractors with openings for jobs (other than: 1. executive or top management positions, 2. positions which are to be filled from within the contractor's organization, 3. and positions lasting three days or less ) must list them with the nearest State Job Service (also known as State Employment Service) office through Department of Labor. Qualified targeted veterans receive priority for referral to federal contractor job openings listed at those offices.The priority for referral does not, however, guarantee that referred veterans will be hired. So what does that mean? Contracting companies are not required to hire those referred (unlike in the federal government where they can't offer a job opening to all U.S. citizens to a non-veteran if a veteran has qualified). Contracting companies must also have affirmative action plans. Contractors with at least 50 employees and a contract value of $50,000 or more need to codify these plans in writing, show that they have followed them/ that they have not discriminated against veterans or other covered groups. They must additionally indicate how the organization has actively recruited targeted veterans. Again, there is not the same obligation to hire as there is in the federal government, but an accountability mechanism is definitely in place.

The Elusive Enemy

Thursday, March 1, 2012

AFPAK Blog: On the Ground

Book review Reviewed by Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN The Elusive Enemy: U.S. Naval Intelligence and the Imperial Japanese Fleet by Douglas Ford.Naval Institute Press,291Wood Road, Annapolis, Maryland. 320 pages, 2011. British military historian and lecturer Douglas Ford has written a new book that dissects the learning curve which U.S. Naval intelligence overcame to collect and interpret the intentions of Imperial Japanese Fleet during the Pacific campaigns of World War II. This cultivation of intellectual empathy with the adversary was not just overcoming stereotypes about Asians generally and the Japanese specifically, but also the mentalities within the U.S. Navy that the Japanese rationalized like their western counterparts. An example is a prevalent American view that a weaker fleet had to move cautiously before initiating hostilities, and therefore the Japanese had to attain a certain level of superiority in warships compared to the United States before launching an attack. This is a fallacy, as the Japanese only had to fight and defeat the U.S. Pacific fleet; so it is really a comparison between forces in the Pacific versus relying on data that combines American warships stationed along two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Ford reveals how there was a blinding bias that American doctrines and weapons were superior; this would restrict American awareness to see the evolution of the Japanese Zero fighter and the emphasis on carrier-based tactics. Between 1919 and 1936, the main source of information on the Japanese battle fleet was the U.S. embassy in Tokyo. Some successes included LCDR Franz Melendy, who secured a visit to the construction site of the carriers Akagi and Kaga, making powerful observations that were sent back to U.S. Navy leaders inWashington D.C. Who, if, and how his report was read remains a matter of speculation but U.S. Naval intelligence struggled to figure out how they would deploy this fleet. Because of a general lack of empathy, the Japanese military concepts of yogeki sokusen (ambush strategy), drawing the adversary into a decisive battle at a chosen point after conducting a surprise attack and wearing them out was not part of the discussions prevalent among U.S. Navy decisionmakers in the lead up to World War II. Complicating matters was the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) overhauling its commu-

NCACS Continued from 1 This system is just one of the many tools to be implemented Navywide to help manage potential threats an unwanted visitor may cause. Russell added that aside from military, civilian employees and now contractors who provide installation services, there is another quarter of visitors left to be vetted. Those visitors fall in the category of those who request a oneday type pass to use an installation's many services.

nications and setting up JN-25a in 1939. In December 1941, days before Pearl Harbor, the IJN introduced a new variant to their code JN-25b, which remained unbroken by American cryptanalysts until after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Ford does a marvelous job discussing how the U.S. Navy gradually overcome to extremes in mindsets among its personnel soon after Pearl Harbor, the mindset of the lesser foe is one in which certain Americans had such contempt for the Japanese that it blinded many to the potential, creativity, military prowess of the Japanese leading to surprises, the other extreme was the supreme enemy or the unbeatable Japanese, a myth shattered initially by the Doolittle Raid, and the Battle of Midway. The book is a lesson on how intelligence shapes perception which shapes policy, as well as how Americans did or did not understand fully the performance, qualitative, and fighting capabilities of the Japanese before Pearl Harbor. It is a struggle to understand thought patterns and develop from that intelligence analysis that empathizes and not sympathizes with an enemy. Ford's work is not only important to naval historians, but those interested in the history and impact of intelligence as well. Understanding the dangers of bias, mirror-imaging, and stereotyping is vital as the United States faces a myriad of challenges in the 21st century.

and the Department of Energy card. Now, if you have one of those you can just come up to the gate and just come in, that covers about three-quarters of visitor categories," he said. "If you only have a driver's license and you want to visit the museum, for example, that will be the next 25 percent that is going to be captured for vetting." NCACS credentials for access will be given every five years and access renewal will be done on a yearly basis. Participation in NCACS for vendors and contractors seeking access into installations is on a volunteer basis. Those who choose not to participate in NCACS and do not possess one of the other four credentials considered valid for accessing the installation, will be required to obtain a one-day pass at the Visitor Center.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note:This is part one of a four part series.In the Feb.23 edition of theWaterline Lt.Cmdr. Josh Frey,an NDW AFPAK Hand public affairs officer,wrote on his ability to build relationships with the Afgan media because of unique force protection,grooming standards and language ability. With the feedback my group gains through our interface with the media and the Afghan spokesmen, we help DCOS COMM, as well as the Afghan government spokespersons, on what is working and how to improve our communications efforts.We also gain valuable insight into the media's ability to report certain issues and try to help facilitate better access for journalists not just to ISAF forces, but also the Afghan government. Overall these efforts are aimed at helping to empower Afghan journalists and create a free press in Afghanistan. "I'm quite impressed with the Afghan media," said 'Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, Spokesman for ISAF, "They're young and energetic. But they do face a lot of challenges by actors who try to influence or control them. Having a free press in this part of the world is something people are not used to." At the commemoration of World Press Freedom Day in 2011, the country's Minister for Information, Sayed Makhdoon Raheen, remarked upon the growth of Afghanistan's media as one of the signal achievement of the years since the dismantling of the Taliban regime in Nov. 2001. Within a month of theTaliban collapse, according to Raheen, Afghanistan had sprouted no less than 200 independent media outlets. Ten years later, the figure, as quoted by the Minister in his public address on May 3, 2011, stood at 1,000. Building relationships with such a rapidly expanding media landscape is a daunting task. Therefore, the only way this can truly be done effectively is by working with other entities within ISAF, as well as the International Community's embassies. Some of these partners includeTask Force Shafafiyat, the NATO Senior Civilian Representative Spokesman's (SCR) office and the U.S. Embassy. By meeting regularly to share information, we are helping DCOS COMM build a shared picture and understanding of the Afghan media.Task Force Shafafiyat has other AFPAK Hands conducting outreach to not just media, but civil society groups, such as Afghan Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that advocate for the rights of journalists. "They need guidance, support, mentoring, and ideas," said Gen. Jacobson, "What they ultimately need to support that process is more interaction with the international media. However, right now there is a language challenge. But that will improve over time." Jacobson also explained the reason language is a challenge right now is that when ISAF holds press conferences, the international media heavy hitters usually dominate the question and answer section. It is difficult for many of the Afghans whose English is not as good as the international, mostly western media. An important part of ISAF's insight into the local media comes from the office of the SCR. The NATO SCR was established in 2004 and the current spokesman has worked in Afghanistan for the last ten years on various projects, providing extremely valuable and helpful insight into the state of the media and who's who in Afghan media circles. "Recently the ISAF Spokesman and myself spent two hours at each media outlet in a series of visits we conducted," said Dominic Medley, the SCR's Spokesman. "We need to go to them as much as possible. Afghanistan is a society of tea and relationships. The Afghan media are no different." Even though Afghanistan has seen such an unprecedented expansion of the media, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "The ability of media actors, civil society groups and other Afghan citizens to freely express their opinions and thoughts came under attack across Afghanistan throughout 2008. National and provincial government officials, anti-government elements and different power-brokers all sought to restrict freedom of expression. Police and prosecutors generally proved ineffective at protecting freedom of expression given their apparent collusion with those in positions of power." U.S. Navy photo by Rick Thompson

process to manage vendors, contractors and service providers; annual access is granted by the installation's commanding officer; and access to multiple installations with a single credential. As Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield gets under-

way, NCACS will be yet another tool added to the cadre of security measures that will be in full use throughout the week. As every installation in the region exercises its anti-terrorism procedures and force protection conditions, NCACS will be an integral part of the layered security plan and will surely keep NDW's installations safer one bad guy at a time.
