Keeping Low Country Warriors On Course

This is the final edition of the Shoreline base newspaper. There have been many different base papers here at

Naval Weapons Station Charleston throughout the years,and the Shoreline is just the latest and sadly, last version ofthem. To the average reader it is just another base paper, butfor those of us that work in the realm of military publicaffairs, this has been a special newspaper. As the last editorof this paper, I would like to take a few moments to sharemy thoughts about this publication, and why I think it hasbeen so important for so many people over the years.

My first duty station in 1988 was onboard USS BunkerHill (CG 52) which was the first Aegis cruiser equippedwith the Vertical Launch System and the first ship of its kindto be forward deployed. Our homeport was Yokosuka,Japan. At that time, the Navy was taking their enlistedJournalists off of smaller ships. So, I was sent to the PublicAffairs office at Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka,where I worked on their base paper, the Seahawk.

After a few other duty stations, to include a tour in D.C.,and a year on Diego Garcia, I found myself in Naples, Italy,working on their base paper, the Panorama. Fast forward to2010, and here I am, retired from active duty and workingas the editor for the Shoreline.

For those of you that have been stationed overseas, youknow what its like to be part of a small community thatworks together for the common good. The overseas basenewspaper is the hometown newspaper. It’s where you findout about people’s achievements, what the kids are doing inschool, what movie is playing at the theater. You learn aboutthe different commands, the festivals, the day trips, localcustoms and the good places to eat. It’s a touch of home ina foreign land.

Now take a look at the papers around the major baseshere in the states. They are filled almost entirely of com-mand information and Navy wire service stories. You rarelysee pictures of the children playing soccer or ombudsmengetting together for luncheons. You don’t see the storiesabout day care activities and swimming pools and ski trips.The larger papers are all Navy all the time.

And that my friends is the difference. Naval WeaponsStation Charleston has been a special place for hundreds of

thousands of people over the years. It’s that LowcountrySouthern hospitality that welcomes us with open arms andmakes us reluctant to leave when our tours are over. It’s ourlittle hometown away for our true hometowns. Of all theplaces I’ve been stationed through the years, this base, morethan any other, gives me the sense of community that untilcoming here, I had only found overseas.

Perhaps I’m just being sentimental because we are end-ing an era. But in the short time that I have been the editorof this newspaper, I have had the pleasure to meet and workwith the people that contribute to this publication. Whetherit’s the folks at Housing or MWR, Public Works or Safety,the Fleet and Family Support Center or Security, they allhad one thing in common: they truly cared about every sin-gle Sailor and family member that walked through ourgates. Through the years, these folks have selflessly given ofthemselves and their organizations to make sure that ourSailors were taken care of. They have been the life blood ofNaval Weapons Station Charleston and they are some of thebest people you could ever hope to meet. We have tried toreflect this attitude within the pages of the Shoreline.

As the ink dries on this final edition of the Shoreline andNaval Weapons Station Charleston arises anew as NavalSupport Activity Charleston, Joint Base Charleston, restassured that these great folks will still be here, everyday,tirelessly giving of themselves to take care of our most pre-cious assets, our people.

As for the staff of the Shoreline, well, we’re heading overto the Air Force side of Joint Base Charleston where we willcontinue to provide you with as much military news andfamily fare as we can possibly cram into the new paper, The

Patriot. It will be different. The Patriot will be publishedweekly and will contain Air Force as well as Navy news andnews from our other services, but, we will strive to contin-ue to provide as much of that hometown feeling as we can.

Now, its time to turn off the computers, shut down theprinters and turn out the lights. We have to pack our camerasand head over to the Air Force base.

With the mandatory wear date of Dec 31 approaching,the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) reminded command-ing officers and Sailors in NAVADMIN 299/10 of theimportance for all hands to maintain a full complement ofNavy Working Uniforms (NWU) in their sea bags.

“The NWU facilitates Navy leadership’s intent to stan-dardize the professional appearance of Sailors when wear-ing a working uniform ashore,” said CNP Vice Adm. MarkFerguson.

Pointing to current NWU inventory levels showingSailors own an average of 1.3 sets, Ferguson went on toexplain that the fleet has not purchased enough uniforms tomeet this goal.

Whether through initial gear issue at recruit training orthe uniform allowances provided during the past two fiscalyears, the vast majority of the fleet has received allowancesto purchase and maintain four sets of the NWU by Dec 31.Sailors who started recruit training between Oct 1, 2007,and April 26, 2009, did not receive their full issue of uni-forms or the allotted clothing replacement allowances,which means they will not be expected to meet the four uni-form standard until June 30, 2013.

CNP is stressing the importance for leadership to re-engage with Sailors now to ensure they comply with uni-form requirements by the mandatory wear date. With themajority of Sailors having already received the required

allowances or uniform issue, commanding officers shouldverify their personnel have all required uniform compo-nents in their sea bag. For commands with Sailors who fallwithin the previously mentioned timeframe, leadership willneed to allow for a reduced number of uniforms.

A complete sea bag will include the following items:

-Four NWU blouses and trousers-One pair of NWU boots-Two eight-point utility caps-Five pairs of blue, 100 percent cotton T-shirts-Five pairs of boot socks-One mock turtleneck sweater-One fleece liner-One Gore-Tex parka

Navy Exchanges have sales associates available to helpwith proper sizing and fit, as well as ample supplies of theNWU to meet demand. If a local exchange does not have aparticular item, or if a Sailor is not stationed near anexchange, uniform items can be ordered by calling theUniform Support Center’s toll-free number, 1-800-368-4088, or by going to www.navy-nex.com/command/

A silent killer is rapidly infiltrating the military, claiminglives at an alarming rate each year.

Military suicides have more than doubled in the Army,exceeding the national average over the past five years, andleaders are redoubling efforts to figure out why.

“It’s an area that can’t get enough focus right now,” NavyAdm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,said. “When we’re losing as many lives as we are, it is a cri-sis we have to continue to address.”

“It’s a very difficult, vexing, complex problem and onethat leadership has to spend an awful lot of time on to try tofigure out,” Mullen said.

While top leaders are struggling to find answers, militarysuicides have reached a critical point, the chairman said. Lastyear, suicide claimed 309 troops, and in 2008, 267 service-members committed suicide, according to a DefenseDepartment task force. From 2005 to 2009, more than 1,100servicemembers took their own lives, an average of one sui-cide every 36 hours, the task force said.

Some reports attribute the spike to multiple deploymentsand long family separations. The majority of suicides do takeplace among servicemembers who have deployed, Mullensaid. A considerable number occur among those who haven’tdeployed, he added.

Complicating the issue is a delay in symptoms for thosewho have served in combat, Mullen said. In many cases,post-traumatic stress symptoms don’t reveal themselves until

months or years later, and a servicemember may be dis-charged by that time and back in a civilian community with-out the same level of support. The military needs to find waysto track those servicemembers so they receive the supportthey need, he said.

The military also must work to end the stigma that’s pre-venting people from seeking help early on, Mullen said,including family members afraid to raise a red flag. Spousesoften are the first to notice a problem, but are fearful of thecareer repercussions for their servicemember if they speakup, Mrs. Mullen said.

“We know that servicemembers tell their spouses not tomention any symptoms the servicemember might be experi-encing for fear that, as one spouse said, ‘That will mean theend of their career,’” she said. “That stigma is so ingrainedand embedded in not just the military, but in our country, andbreaking through that is going to be key .... to solving thisproblem.”

Fortunately, families have more avenues of help now thanever before, including ones that offer anonymity, she said.People who are uncomfortable speaking with someone at amilitary clinic can instead receive 12 free counselingappointments through Military OneSource or contact Tricarefor online counseling at home. Other resources include theNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK(8255), the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors at 1-800-959-TAPS (8277) or a military family life consultant.

More focus needed to end suicidesBy Elaine Wilson, American Forces Press Service

Rear Adm. Tim Alexander, Commander, NavyRegion Southeast, signs a proclamation on Sept 8,to proclaim September as Suicide PreventionMonth, during a ceremony in the commander’soffice. The proclamation focused on first respon-ders applying ACT - Ask, Care, Treat, as a proactiveapproach to suicide prevention.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) occurs when extra cholesterol and other fatscirculating in the blood collect in the walls of the arteries that supply blood toyour limbs. This buildup – called plaque – narrows your arteries, often reducingor blocking blood flow. PAD is most commonly seen in the legs.

Nearly 75% of the people with PAD do not experience symptoms. Knowing thefacts can save your life.

What puts you at risk for PAD? • Over the age of 50 • Diabetes • Current or past smoker • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • History of vascular disease, heart attack or stroke

If you are concerned about PAD, call 402-CARE for a free doctor referral to theRoper St. Francis Heart & Vascular Center.

Electricans Mate First Class (SS)Nathan W. Lewis received the Navy andMarine Corps Medal in a ceremony atthe Red Bank Club, Sept 13. TheHonorable Robert O. Work, UnderSecretary of the Navy, presented themedal to Lewis. Admiral Kirkland H.Donald, Director, Naval NuclearPropulsion was also in attendance.

Lewis, an instructor at Nuclear PowerTraining Unit, received the medal forheroism. On May 12, 2008, Lewis placedhimself in harm’s way in order to rescuea gravely injured motorist on Interstate26. A passenger vehicle had collidedwith a cement truck, killing the passen-ger vehicle’s driver, front passenger andgravely injuring another passenger. Thecollision caused the cement truck to spillits load of concrete, filling the passengervehicle and trapping the injured passen-ger.

EM1 Lewis, used his own utility shirtto shield the injured passenger’s face,

and repeatedly dug through enough ofthe concrete with his bare hands to pre-vent it from pooling around the trappedvictim’s face long enough for emergencyresponders to arrive and render aid. Evenafter emergency personnel responded tothe scene, Lewis continued to assist andeven covered the bodies of the deceasedin the front seat with his own shirt, pre-venting the injured passenger from see-ing them.

The Navy and Marine Corps Medal isthe second highest non-combatant medalawarded by the United StatesDepartment of the Navy to members ofthe U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It isawarded to service members who, whileserving in any capacity with the Navy orMarine Corps, distinguish themselves byheroism not involving actual conflictwith an enemy. Typically, it is awardedfor actions involving the risk of one’sown life.

Servicemembers from Lowcountry commandsspent Sept 10 in service to their community. Sailorswere painting, raking, pressure washing and perform-ing hundreds of other tasks in conjunction with theTrident United Way Day of Caring community serv-ice event.

While the manual labor made for a long day, theSailors appreciated the break in their everyday rou-tine. As one young Sailor put it, “It’s not everyday wecan get away from the school house and do somethinggood for the community. It puts a different perspec-tive on how important the Navy is to this community,and also, how much the community really does appre-ciate the military.”

Labor Day marked the traditional end ofsummer for Sailors and Marines and also theend of the Naval Safety Center’s (NSC) annu-al summer safety campaign, “Live to Play,Play to Live.”

According to Rick Dangerfield, NWS,Safety, “Naval Weapons Station Charlestonhad zero mishaps during the summer season.This marks the third consecutive year thatNWS Charleston has had no mishaps duringthe critical days of summer.”

Although mishap reports for the Labor Dayweekend are not complete, it appears that boththe Navy and Marine Corps enjoyed the safestsummer since NSC started keeping these sta-tistics.

However, that still means that 14 Sailorsand 14 Marines lost their lives betweenMemorial Day and Labor Day weekends.Nonetheless, this is a considerable improve-ment from 2009, when 39 Sailors and Marineslost their lives during the same period.

While that is an achievement to be proudof, NSC is not declaring victory, especially inlight of the fact that one Sailor and one Marinedied during Labor Day weekend. Mishap

reports indicate that both deaths may be relat-ed to alcohol.

“There have been a lot fewer cases of DUI(drinking under the influence),” said NSCCommand Master Chief (AW/SW) DominickTorchia. “However, there may be some com-placency about the dangers of over-consump-tion in general. We’re seeing cases of Sailorsand Marines basically drinking themselves todeath.”

While most people seem to be getting themessage about designated drivers and safe rideprograms, leaders need to continue educatingtheir Sailors and Marines about the health risksof alcohol, including alcohol poisoning andreduced inhibitions that may lead to riskybehavior, said Torchia.

NWS Charleston appreciates your dedica-tion to safety. Continued education of hazardawareness and mitigation is a major factor inour success. Management at all levels mustcontinue educating their personnel about safe-ty. Watch out for each other’s safety. If you seesomething that doesn’t looik right, say some-thing. Speaking up could prevent a mishap.

Safest summer on recordBy April Phillips, Naval Safety Center Public Affairs

You can make a difference. When each ofus makes our own contribution, no matter howlittle it may appear to be, the cumulative effectcan become enormous. Recycling and Re-usecan be one of the most economical and sim-plest ways of conserving energy.

Each person creates about 4.7 pounds ofwaste every day. Approximately 60% of ourrubbish thrown away today can be recycled.Nine out of 10 people surveyed said theywould recycle more if it was easier.

Many people do not realize that plastic bot-tles are made out of oil. This is the same oilthat is used to make gasoline. It’s the same oilthat is in such high demand and is not anunlimited resource.

Manufacturing glass from recycled cullet(broken or waste glass returned for recycling)uses up to 32 percent less energy than produc-ing glass from raw materials.

Producing glass from recycled glass culletrather than from raw materials reduces relatedair pollution by 20 percent and water pollutionby 50 percent.

The energy saved from recycling one glassbottle will light a 100 watt bulb for four hours.

Disposable bottles consume three timesthe energy as reusable, returnable bottles.

Each ton of glass produced from raw mate-rials generates about 385 pounds of miningwaste; using 50 percent recycled glass reducesthis by almost 80 percent.

Recycling and reusing tin cans reducesrelated energy use by 74 percent, air pollutionby 85 percent, solid waste by 95 percent andwater pollution by 76 percent. There is nolimit to the amount of times an aluminum canbe recycled.

Producing aluminum from recycled alu-minum consumes 90 percent less energy thanproducing it from raw materials and generates95 percent less air pollution.

We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminumsoda cans every year.

Around 45% of the paper Americans useeach year (over 53 million tons) is recoveredfor recycling. This is made into a wide varietyof goods such as new newsprint, boxes andoffice paper, paper towels, tissue products,insulation, cereal boxes, molded packaging,hydro-mulch, gypsum wallboard - even com-post and kitty litter!

Soderman...continued from Page 1

NWS Charleston crew members workedtirelessly alongside the 841st ArmyTransportation Battalion, Army StrategicLogistics Activity Charleston (ASLAC),Maritime Sealift Command and variouscontracting partners.

“Teamwork is essential for this type ofoperation. We understand that the missionis important and we have to get the shiploaded and out on time. Everyone reallycame together to make this happen,” saidCommander, 841st Army TransportationBattalion, Lt. Colonel Ines White. “Withoutone piece of the puzzle we could not com-plete the whole picture.”

The ships allow the military the capabil-ity to receive needed equipment in a timelymanner in order to respond quickly to anyemergency. They provide quick movementof military gear between operating areaswithout relying on other nation’s modes oftransportation.

“It is critical that we do not have to relyon the infrastructure support of othernations to deliver the equipment to ourtroops,” said Mowery.

After the on-load USNS Soderman will

set sail and anchor in the Western Pacific,where the ship will stay for more than twoyears, switching out the crew every fourmonths.

“So far everything has gone according toplan—we are right on track and movingalong quite smoothly,” said the Master ofUSNS Soderman, Chris Spain.

Once the ship’s overseas tour is com-pleted, it will return to port where theequipment onboard will receive mainte-nance and/or upgrades, or replaced withcompletely different gear before returningto sea. The equipment, like everything, hasa life-cycle that may need to be repairedfrom rust or any damage before it can beused.

There are currently more than 25 prepo-sitioning ships distributed among thebranches of the military, strategicallyplaced around the world.

“We are right on schedule and I am real-ly pleased with all that hard work that isgoing into this operation,” said GeneralManager of ASLAC Bob O’Brien. “I don’tthink we could have been as successful aswe are right now if it wasn’t for all theteamwork we have.”


Humvees roll up to USNS Soderman while she was inport NWS Charleston.Prepositioning ships support all military branches as well as the DefenseLogistics Agency to ensure rapid availability of military equipment duringtimes of crisis. The ships provide transportation of the gear to areas of opera-tion without having to rely on other nation’s modes of transportation.

Bachelor HousingResident Advisor meetings are held quarterly and all res-

idents are welcome and encouraged to attend. Our latestResident Advisors meeting was held August 19. Some of theitems discussed were:

- Resident Advisors (RA) duties, responsibilities and pol-icy enforcement.

- Possible realignment of current RA’s Area ofResponsibilities (AOR) to help address areas that were notcurrently assigned, as well as having the duty RA’s partici-pate in room inspections monthly.

- Currently seeking more RA’s. Requesting assistance ingetting the positions filled. RA’s may be an E-5, and must beapproved by their respective commanding officer, and thenreceive final approval from the Commanding Officer NavalWeapons Station Charleston.

Bachelor Housing residents are assigned a numbered car-port correlating to their assigned unit. Since there is only onecarport for every two occupants, parking under these carportsare first come, first serve. Personnel owning two or morevehicles shall park only one vehicle, the one that is driven ona daily basis, under the carport. All residents must have theirvehicle registration and base decal current at all times. Thereare additional parking spaces available adjacent to units indesignated areas. Do not park on the grass; all offenders willhave their vehicle ticketed. Multiple offenses could lead to

vehicle being towed at resident’s expense. Parking inBachelor Housing employees’ parking spaces is authorizedafter 4:00 p.m., but should be moved prior to 7:00 a.m.

Energy Conservation is very important. During recentexterior inspections, the BH staff has noticed some windowsthat were left open while the A/C was running. All residentsare reminded again that energy conservation is an all handseffort. Please do your part. Your cooperation is necessary toreduce energy usage and subsequent cost. You can help by:

a. Turning off all electrical items (i.e., lights, radios, TV’s,stereos, irons, etc.) when not in use or prior to leaving thequarters.

b. Keeping doors and windows closed in air conditionedspaces. If there are circumstances preventing proper closure,report findings immediately to BH Front Desk.

c. Setting thermostat on 78 degrees for cooling and on 68degrees for heating and not changing the settings. Units areequipped with programmable thermostats. Tampering withthermostat program is not authorized.

d. Immediately reporting water leaks to the BuildingManager or Front Desk.

e. Reporting any energy conservation violation as soon aspossible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact theBachelor Housing Director Robert Ladue or BachelorHousing Manager SHC (SW/AW) Anderson, or SH1 Jones at764-7646/4144. Thank you and have a Great Navy Day!

The commitment of Navy Region Southeast to reduceenergy usage was recognized recently by the Secretary of theNavy with awards for all 16 of its non-BRAC installations.

“These awards reflect our significant progress in makingenergy and water conservation a high priority in our every-day mission of supporting the fleet, family and warfighter,”Commander Navy Region Southeast Rear Adm. TimAlexander said. “This marks the first time all non-BRACinstallations in Navy Region Southeast received recognition.

Leading the way was Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay,one of only seven Navy or Marine Corps shore commandsworldwide to be recognized as a platinum level award win-ner, signifying an outstanding energy program and an excep-

tional year of energy project execution.“Kings Bay is doing some innovative things to reduce

energy and water consumption,” Alexander said. “From anew wastewater treatment plant with water savings of$60,000 a year, to the innovative use of solar technology toaugment that plant with energy savings of $116,000 a year,the installation is realizing significant energy use reduction.”

Other award winners in the Southeast Region includedNaval Air Station Jacksonville, Fla.; Naval Air Station KeyWest, Fla.; Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas; Naval AirStation Meridian, Miss.; and Naval Support Activity PanamaCity, Fla. These installations were all gold level award win-ners, indicating a very good to outstanding energy program.

The awards program also has a blue level award for com-mands with a well-rounded energy program. Navy RegionSoutheast commands winning awards in this category includ-ed Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport, Miss.;Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas; Naval Air StationJoint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas; Naval Air StationJoint Reserve Base New Orleans; Naval Air StationPensacola, Fla.; Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton,Fla.; Navy Supply Corps School Athens, Ga.; Naval StationGuantanamo Bay, Cuba; Naval Weapons Station Charleston,S.C.; Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division atNaval Support Activity Orlando, Fla.; and Naval StationMayport, Fla.
