JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. — Celebrating JointBase Anacostia-Bolling’s (JBAB) sec-ond anniversary and the Navy’sbirthday, JBAB is highlighting someof the outstanding military, civilianand family members who live, workor visit the installation.

Thousands of people live orwork at JBAB. It is home to manyDOD commands and units. JBAB’smission is to provide exceptionalsupport and base services to thoseDOD entities.

JBAB was officially establishedon Oct. 1, 2010 as part of a congres-sionally-mandated Base Realign-ment and Closure Commission ini-tiative. It combined duplicative AirForce and Navy base operating sup-port services at the former BollingAir Force Base; Naval Support Facil-ity Anacostia and Bellevue NavyHousing Area, in an effort to im-prove efficiency, effectiveness andbe better stewards of taxpayer fund-ing.

As the nation’s premier jointbase, JBAB supports presidential,ceremonial, homeland security, de-fense support to civil authorities

and national securitymissions conductedby all five of the na-tion’s armed forces,the National Guardand federal agen-cies.

As a subordi-nate command ofthe commander,Navy Installation Com-mand (CNIC), JBAB’s mis-sion supports the Fleet, Fighterand Family.

Supporting the fleet enables theoperating forces of the nation’s mil-itary to perform its mission. Sup-

porting the fighter helpsensure that the training,

readiness, resourcingand informationalneeds of the mili-tary’s fighting forceare met. Support-ing the family en-

sures that the menand women of the

armed forces, their fam-ilies and DOD and Coast

Guard civilians are well cared for.Oct. 13 marks the Navy’s 237th

birthday. Honoring the occasion,JBAB is capitalizing on the CNICrole in supporting the Fleet, Fighter

and Family by participating withother select Navy Public Affairs of-fices on three projects, designed tocapture the legacy of service to themilitary and beyond.

WASHINGTON — Radar was accidently dis-covered at a Navy base in the nation’s capital. To-day, that base is home to many of the nation’s im-portant military and federal commands, unitsand agencies.

The Navy's 237th birthday gives occasion tolook back on its broad and proud history, and alittle known facet of its history - that of Naval AirStation (NAS) Anacostia.

With the transition of the base to what is nowknown as Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), af-ter it was merged with the former Bolling AirForce Base, many military and civilian personnelwho live, work or visit it today are unaware of itsrole (as NAS Anacostia) as an operational naval

air station or its prominence in naval and worldmilitary history.

Naval aviation got its start at JBAB in 1917,when the War Department authorized thedrained swamp area along the east side of theAnacostia River, known as the "Anacostia Flats,"for Navy seaplane testing.

In 1918, the Navy's first year at the site, it builttwo runways and two hangars, which it sharedwith the Army Air Corps (predecessor of the U.S.Air Force), and began testing seaplanes.

By 1926, the location was officially designatedas a naval air station, which by then, was support-ing conventional aircraft. To the northeast, theArmy was operating from Bolling Field (later re-named, Bolling Air Force Base).

During World War II, NAS Anacostia expand-ed considerably, becoming a primary trainingbase for naval aviation. During this expansion,

the Navy paved the runways and made the sta-tion the home of Navy Flight Test Operations.

In June 1933, Douglas Aircraft Company test-ed its first fighter at JBAB, a U.S. Navy prototypebiplane, designated the XFD-1. In 1941, the Navytested a rare photographic reconnaissance air-craft, the BD-1, which was the naval version ofthe Army Air Corps’ XF-3. Flight test operationscontinued at Anacostia until overcrowdingcaused the Navy to move the mission to NASPatuxent River in 1943.

Radar – an accident!The history of radar began with experiments

in the 19th century, but it wasn't until the early-

NDW FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES

The Naval District Washington Fire & Emergency Serviceswould like to remind everyone that you are the first link when itcomes to fire safety at work and at home. Ensuring your safetynot only includes being safe, but knowing what to do should youexperience a fire at work or at home. Here are some fire safety tipsthat we suggest you follow to help keep you safe.

Home Fires• One home structure fire was reported every 85 seconds in 2010.• 92% of all civilian structure fire deaths resulted from home

structure fires.• Most fatal fires kill one or two people. In 2010, 19 home fires

killed five or more people.• These 19 fires resulted in 101 deaths nationwide.• In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to 369,500 home

structure fires.• These fires caused 13,350 civilian injuries, 2,640 civilian deaths,

and $6.9 billion in direct damage.• 8% of reported home fires started in the bedroom. These fires

caused 25% of home fire deaths, 21% of home fire injuries,and 14% of the direct property damage

• Almost two-thirds (62%) of reported home fire deaths resultedfrom fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no workingsmoke alarms.

Smoke Alarms• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate

sleeping area and on every level of the home, including thebasement. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout thehome. When one sounds, they all sound.

• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button and besure to re[lace the batteries in these devices at least one a year.

• Be sure to replace smoke alarms every 10 years in accordancewith the manufactures recommendations.

• Ninety-six percent of all homes have at least one smoke alarm,according to a 2010 telephone survey. Overall, three-quartersof all U.S. homes have at least one working smoke alarm

• Almost two-thirds (62%) of reported home fire deaths resultedfrom fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no workingsmoke alarms.

• Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths in 2005-2009 resultedfrom fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no workingsmoke alarms.

•Working smoke alarms improve your chances of surviving a firein your home by 50% and are an inexpensive device to ensureyou and your familys safety.

• Smoke alarms that include a recordable voice announcementin addition to the usual alarm sound, may be helpful in wak-ing children through the use of a familiar voice.

• Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf or hard ofhearing.These devices use strobe lights.Vibration devices canbe added to these alarms

• Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.

Cooking• Cooking has been the leading cause of reported home fires and

home fire injuries since 1990. Unattended cooking was by far

the leading cause of these fires; Two-thirds of home cookingfires began with ignition of cooking materials, including food,cooking oil, fat, or grease .

• Cooking caused two of every five (42%) of reported home fires,roughly one of every seven (15%) home fire deaths, and twoof every five (37%) home fire injuries, and 11% of direct prop-erty damage from home fires in 2010.

• Ranges accounted for the 58% of home cooking fire incidents.Ovens accounted for 16%.

• Children under five face a higher risk of non-fire burns associ-ated with cooking than being burned in a cooking fire.

Smoking Materials• In 2010, smoking materials started and estimated 17,500 home

structure fires, resulting in 540 deaths, 1,320 injuries and $535million in direct property damage. Smoking materials are theleading cause of home fire deaths.

• Sleep was a factor in two of every five home smoking materialfire deaths. Possible alcohol impairment was reported in onequarter of these deaths..

• In recent years, Canada and the United States have required thatall cigarettes sold must be fire safe, that is have reduced igni-tion strength and less likely to start fires.

• If you have smokers or you are a smoker, please be sure to havelarge deep receptacles to extinguish you smoking materialand ensure they are completely out before going to bed.

• If you smoke at work, please remember to follow the NDWSmoking Policy and use the approved smoking areas only.

Candles• On average, there are 35 home candle fires reported per day.• More than one-third of these fires started in the bedroom.• More than half of all candle fires start when things that can burn

are too close to the candle.• In 2010, candles caused 3% of home fires, 4% of home fire

deaths, 6% of home fire injuries and 5% of direct propertydamage from home fires.

• As a reminder, the use of candles at work is prohibited in accor-dance with the NDWINSTR 11320.10E.

Home Fire Sprinklers• Automatic fire sprinkler systems cut the risk of dying in a home

fire by about 83%.• Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire

in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive onthe scene.

• Sprinklers are highly effective because they react so quickly in afire..They reduce the risk of death or injury from a fire becausethey dramatically reduce the heat, flames and smoke pro-duced, allowing people time to evacuate the home.The Naval District Washington Fire & Emergency Services

would like to remind everyone that by following these simple butvital tips, the chances of you or your family experiencing a homeor workplace fire can be greatly reduced. If you have any ques-tions regarding Fire/Life Safety either at work or t home or needto schedule your Annual Evacuation drill please contact your in-stallation Fire Prevention Division.

In the event of an emergency on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling,all residents and tenant organizations should call the base hotlineat 202-433-3333.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C. —The U.S. Navy is celebrating its 237proud years of history. The global birth-day commemoration includes a coordi-nated Navy-wide bell ringing ceremonyand several localized events across JointBase Anacostia-Bolling and Naval DistrictWashington leading up to Saturday, Octo-ber 13th.

The annual Navy birthday celebrationhails back to the foundation of the Conti-nental Navy in 1775. The original impetusfor its creation was the intercept of ma-teriel bound for British soldiers holdingBoston under martial law.

The Rhode Island General Assemblytook the first step toward creation of anavy in June 1775. It established a force ofarmed vessels to protect its merchantswhich were being harassed by Royal Navyfrigates for their role in widespread conti-nental commerce, which the Britishviewed as smuggling. In August the as-sembly went a step further by passing aresolution that there should be a singleContinental fleet funded by the Continen-tal Congress.

By September Gen. George Washing-ton had begun acquiring armed vessels.In fact, Washington paid for the very firstvessel launched on September 5th, theschooner Hannah, from his own personalwealth.

On October 3rd, Rhode Island dele-gates introduced a measure to the Conti-nental Congress to create the Navy. The

following week, on October13th, the day we recognize asthe birth of our nations Navy,the Continental Congress inPhiladelphia authorized thepurchase of two vessels An-drew Doria and Cabot to bearmed for operations againstBritish merchant ships.

In the following weeks an-other ship, Alfred, was pur-chased and commissioned onNovember 4th, and by No-vember 10th Congress au-thorized two battalions ofMarines to be raised for serv-ice with the fleet.

By the end of November,Congress passed the Conti-nental Navys governing regu-lations as drafted by JohnAdams. The Rhode Island res-olution introduced during the first weekof October was reconsidered and passedby the Continental Congress on Decem-ber 13, 1775. The resolution specificallyauthorized the building of thirteenfrigates within the next three months: fivewith 32 guns, five with 28 guns, and threewith 24 guns.

The Continental Navy served thecause of independence from Great Britainwith approximately 65 vessels in its serv-ice. Some of those were new, others con-verted, chartered, loaned, or captured. Bythe end of the war in 1783, only 11 shipssurvived. Not long after, the ContinentalNavy was disbanded and the remainingships sold.

The frigate Alliance, which is said to

have fired the last shots of the AmericanRevolution, was the last ship in the Conti-nental Navy. While there was a faction inCongress that wanted to keep the ship,our young nation lacked the funds to keepher in service, and she was auctioned offto a private bidder for $26,000.

Eleven years later, conflicts betweenAmerican merchant shipping and piratesin the Mediterranean Sea led to the NavalAct of 1794. The act established the Unit-ed States Navy we know today. It has beenin uninterrupted service ever since.

(http://youtu.be/4wkZeggGjTQ).Military and civilian personnel and their

families living or working on JBAB are neededto hold up signs in a short video that containsthree words which relates how the work theydo supports the warfighter or warfighting ef-fort.

Sample messages are: Raising the Chil-dren; Protecting the Homeland; Honoring theBrave; Designing the Ships; Filling the Pot-holes; Remembering the Fallen; Rescuing atSea, etc. The imagery will be used on socialmedia platforms and a DOD news mediavideo distribution site.Videos including Navyfamilies will also be included in a compositevideo to be shown on www.navy.mil. Videosincluding Coast Guard families will also be in-cluded in a composite video and uploaded towww.uscg.mil.

The second project showcases the familyand their legacy of service to the military.

Still and video imagery showing familymembers who served as a military memberor civilian employee will be made available tothe media via a DOD media distribution site.Imagery showing Navy families will also beused to crowd source the U.S. Navy Facebookpage.

Examples include grandfather served,mother served, and a son who is currently aSailor, Airman, Guardian, Soldier or Marine;Father who served, mother worked as a Navycivilian and a daughter who is or was a Navyofficer.

The third project aligns with JBAB’s sup-

port to the fleet and the training and readi-ness of the military personnel. It highlightsformer military personnel who are now suc-cessful in their lives and who express appre-ciation for their time in the military.

Many former military personnel attributetheir success in post-military life to what theylearned in the military. They are now city andcommunity leaders, businessmen, healthcare professionals, chefs, journalists, educa-tors, technicians, engineers, lawyers, electri-cians, entrepreneurs and corporate CEOs.They credit their military service with helpingthem to successfully navigate their post-mil-itary lives.

JBAB is looking for former military mem-bers who are willing to share their story abouttheir military experience; which skills theylearned during their time in uniform thathelped them achieve their current success;how the military impacted their life andwhich part of the military stayed with themlong after their official service ended.

The edited video interviews will be sharedon social media platforms and a DOD newsmedia video distribution site, so peopleworldwide understand how military experi-ences are valuable and stay with a personlong after they have left the service.

The videos will be produced at JBAB or onlocation, any place in the National Capital Re-gion, preferred by the military or civilianmembers and families.

Military and civilian personnel; families;commands or units interested in participat-ing in one or more of the projects may con-tact JBAB Public Affairs via email to:joseph.cirone@navy.mil.

BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON – An alert fireinspector at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) helped avert whatcould have been a disastrous out-come on Oct. 9 when smoke filleda house on March Lane on JBAB.

Naval DistrictWashington Fireand Emergency Services CentralBattalion (NDW F&ES) BattalionChief John McDonald said theJBAB emergency number was notcalled, resulting in a delay dis-patching firefighters.

While one occupant wasasleep in a third floor room of thehome and two other occupantswere outdoors decorating for Hal-loween, heavy smoke filled thesecond and third floor, accordingto a fire department report.

Smelling the smoke outdoors,one of the residents rushed in-doors and removed the sleepingoccupant. Once safely outdoorsand the three residents were ac-counted for, one of them called 9-1-1 on a cellular telephone at ap-proximately 11:39 a.m., whichalerted the District of ColumbiaFire and EMS (D.C. FEMS) depart-

ment.NDW F&ES Fire InspectorTim

McCoy noticed D.C. FEMS EngineCo. 33, located a distance fromJBAB, responding to an emer-gency at JBAB and alerted theNDW Regional Emergency Dis-patch Center. Dispatchers com-municated with D.C. FEMS dis-patchers and learned of the emer-gency situation.

As additional D.C. FEMS unitswere responding to JBAB and theoriginal D.C. FEMS unit contin-ued its response, two NDW F&ESpumpers; an Ambulance and twoChiefs, were dispatched and re-sponded to the scene.

BASE EMERGENCYNUMBER – 202-433-3333,

NOT 9-1-1NDW F&ES District Chief

Mark Hendley, said, “Once againwe need to emphasize to the resi-dents and base population, theimportance of utilizing the baseEmergency Number [202-433-3333] for all Police, Fire, EMS andrelated emergencies.”

“We have a fire department onbase,” Hendley stressed.

A total of 53 Firefighters andEmergency Medical Service(EMS) personnel, staffing sevenpumpers; two ladder trucks; onerescue truck; two ambulances;four chief officers and two addi-tional units from the NDW F&ESand the D.C. FEMS departmentsresponded to the emergency.

An additional NDW F&ESpumper, ladder truck and Haz-Mat unit were on another emer-gency call nearby. One additionalD.C. Fire and EMS pumper alsoresponded to JBAB, but was re-turned before arriving at thescene.

JBAB-based NDW F&ES En-gine 41 was the first fire suppres-sion unit to arrive at the scene.McDonald, the first arriving chiefofficer, assumed command at thescene.

The pumper’s crew quickly es-tablished a water supply at thenearest fire hydrant; deployed afire attack hose line, entering thestructure and performed a searchto ensure all occupants were safe-ty evacuated from the building.

D.C. FEMS units and NDWF&ES Engine 42 (based at theWashington NavyYard) combinedefforts to quickly locate the source

of the smoke at a stove; containthe situation and remove thesmoke from the dwelling. Therewere no injuries as a result of theemergency, McDonald reported.

The cause of the emergencywas determined to be items leftunattended on the stove. Oct. 7-13 is Fire Prevention Week. In ad-dition to remembering to call 202-433-3333 for any emergency atJBAB, the NDW F&ES emphasizesthat items should never be left un-attended while cooking.

The NDW F&ES Central Bat-talion Headquarters is located atJBAB. JBAB’s NDW F&ES assetsinclude at least one pumper, lad-der company, ambulance, chiefofficer and a foam unit.Two addi-tional NDW F&ES pumpers, anda Haz-Mat unit are located nearbyat adjacent and contiguous navalinstallations.

AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENCY

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — As part of a ca-reer broadening opportunity, a new nomina-tion and selection process to attend sister-ser-vice enlisted professional military education(EPME) courses has been established for sen-ior non-commissioned officers.

"The significance rests with the transfor-mation from a first-come, first-served processto one that incorporates deliberate develop-ment and a return on investment," said ChiefMaster Sgt. Timothy Horn, the chief of AirForce Enlisted Developmental Education."We owe it to both our Airmen and our AirForce to put this level of rigor into our devel-opmental processes."

To be eligible for sister-service senior NCOcourses, Airmen must not only be nominatedby their unit, but must also meet the specific

criteria of the applicable service.The packagemust then be submitted through a boardprocess at the unit's major command, wherethe first cut is made.

From there, packages are sent to an AirForce-level board that determines the se-lectees who are given final approval by thechief master sergeant of the Air Force. ForMaster Sgt. Michael Noel, the chance to at-tend a joint EPME course is invaluable.

"I wanted a different PME perspective,"said Noel, Secretary of the Air Force Public Af-fairs office superintendent of force manage-ment. "I'm really interested to see how otherservices (work), to see what kinds of issuesthey talk about when it comes to leadershipand management.We all have a common goalto be effective leaders. So, I want the challengeof going somewhere else and finding out whatI can learn from it."

Noel attended the U.S. Marine Corps Staff

Noncommissioned Officer Academy Ad-vanced Course at Marine Corps Base Quanti-co, Va. recently, which is one of the approvedclasses Air Force senior NCOs can attend inplace of the Air Force Senior NCO Academy.The course also provides the joint tools need-ed to become an effective senior enlistedleader.

"Sister-service EPME opportunities pro-vide our Airmen with a perspective that is crit-ical to today's joint warfighter," Chief MasterSgt. of the Air Force James Roy said. "We're op-erating more and more in the joint environ-ment, so it makes sense to train and educatethat way. This helps us understand our jointpartners better."

That joint partnership is exactly what sis-ter-service members hope for.

"I think it's really important for Air Forcesenior enlisted management, like Master Ser-geant Noel, to come here and actually see the

type of leadership training we get, to get a bet-ter flavor for what we do, especially now thatwe get more joint," said U.S. Marine CorpsGunnery Sgt. Kevin Simmons, from CompanyI Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion inHawaii. "He's assimilated right in with thegroup. It's been great to have him here."

Noel's biggest piece of advice for othersenior NCOs in the joint-EPME environmentis to have the "right mindset, to go in with anopen mind and be willing to listen to thoseother perspectives."

Other joint PME courses include the U.S.Army Sergeants Major Academy at Fort Bliss,Texas; the U.S. Navy Senior Enlisted Academyat Newport, R.I.; the U.S. Coast Guard ChiefPetty Officer Academy at Petaluma, Calif.; andthe U.S. Marine Corps courses also located atCamp Pendleton, Calif., Camp Lejeune, N.C.,and Camp Butler, Japan.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. —Air Force service members from Joint Base An-drew’s 79th MedicalWing and Joint Base Anacos-tia-Bolling’s 579th Medical Group came togetherOct. 5 for some good natured competition andall-important team building, as the two organi-zations participated in its annual Sports Dayevent on the grounds of JBAB’s Giesboro Park.

Under a bright morning sun service mem-bers challenged one another in activities likekickball, volleyball, a relay race and tug-of-warcompetition. Sprinkled into the mix was even athree-point shooting contest and pie-eating con-test. Lunch included hamburgers and hot dogsand, of course, many smiles to go around.

“This is a great turnout. Definitely a bigmorale booster,” said Senior Airman Loretta Rig-gle, an optometrist with JBAB’s 579th MDG. “It’sreally nice to have both bases together. It’s achance to spend time with one another outsidethe office.”

Those sentiments were shared by Dr. (Lt.Col.) Joseph Beard, of JBAs 79th MW. It was hisfirst Sports Day event since joining the organiza-tion.

“It’s a lot of fun. I’m glad the weather wasgood to us today,” Beard said. “It’s really well-or-

ganized. I’m also happy to have a chance to seethe people I work with in a different light. That’sthe nicest thing about something like this.”

Maj. Lauren Byrd, resource managementflight commander for JBAs 79th MW, said theevent was clearly a great way to build cama-raderie.

“It’s so nice to see everyone having a goodtime. Usually the only time we get to be aroundone another is during the day-to-day grind of thejob,” Byrd said.“We couldn’t have asked for a bet-ter day, or a better turnout for an event like this.”

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. — With every servicepromoting healthy living and healthychoices, Joint Base Anacostia Bolling(JBAB)'s junior enlisted are encourag-ing fellow service members, civilians,contractors and dependents to stay inshape by exercising and sharing per-sonal tips on staying healthy.

"I have been in the Navy for almosta year and I play basketball to stay inshape," said Seaman ZacharyWright, amember of the Navy CeremonialGuard. "I focus on getting a lot of cardioexercise in. When we are running fullcourt, I give it all I have because it helpsme stay fit. When I do my physicalreadiness test (PRT), I found that it feelslike that when I am playing basketball.After that, I do a lot of push-ups, sit-upsand jumping jacks.."

Wright said since joining the Navy,he has been educated on the impor-tance of staying physically fit and un-derstands that it is his duty to keep hisbody, health and mind up to standards.

"Before I joined, I wasn't lazy, I justdidn't understand how important myhealth was, he said. Now, whenever myshipmates and I have some time, we tryto play basketball or football. In mymind, staying healthy means stayingactive.

While some service members usesports as a way to stay fit, others use dif-ferent ways to get exercise.

"I love to do spin classes," said Sea-man Dewaylon Farr, a member of theNavy Ceremonial Guard. "I used tolaugh at them until I tried it. They arefun, have music and its really challeng-ing.

Spinning classes are aerobic classesdone in a fitness studio on spinningbikes, with various light and music set-tings to create an energized atmos-phere. Instructors guide participants

through workout phases while partici-pants control resistance on their bike tomake the pedaling as easy or difficult asthey choose. Constant adjustment isnormal.

Farr mentioned some classes havebeen so difficult that his legs were soreafterwards.

"It doesn't matter if someone doesspin, soccer or tennis," he said. "Theimportant thing is that everyone is get-ting the exercise that is needed to stayin shape. I have friends that stay inshape playing ultimate Frisbee, andsome that stay in shape from running.Personal health is important not only toour jobs, but also our everyday lives.With today's technology, we have theinformation needed to stay healthy. Mymom always said if we know better,then we should do better. So if we knowwhat is needed to stay healthy, we needto go through with it and do it.

According to the Navy physicalreadiness program, it has become in-creasingly important for all Navy per-sonnel to maintain a minimum pre-scribed level of physical fitness neces-sary for world-wide deployment,whenever or wherever needed.

"It makes me happy knowing that Ican work out in more ways than justrunning or conventional exercises,"Farr said. "Since I started spinningmore than a year ago, I've toned up mylegs, arms and everything else. This is atotal body workout that keeps my mus-cles in shape and burns a lot of calories.Spin is a major stress reliever. I thinkthat spin was one of the easiest things Istarted in my life. It is adjustable toeveryone. Even if you are injured, youcan just adjust your workout to yourlimitations."

For information on spinning class-es, contact the fitness center at 202-767-5895 or the aerobic center at 202-767-8821.

AIR FORCE ACADEMY PUBLIC AFFAIRS

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AFNS)—Three fumbles and two missed field goalscost Air Force the win, and likely the Com-mander-in-Chief's Trophy, in a 28-21 over-time loss to Navy at Falcon Stadium Oct. 6.

Navy captured the momentum in thesecond quarter, forcing three turnovers onthree successive Air Force drives, and nevergave momentum back even after the Fal-cons took a 21-13 lead in the fourth quarter.

The Falcons' first touchdown came on afour-play, 75-yard sortie capped with a 35-yard strike from Connor Dietz to Drew Cole-man. After stopping Navy on their first pos-session, Air Force marched down field again,but Parker Harrington missed a chip shot,sending a 27-yard field goal attempt wideleft..

Navy stole momentum in the secondquarter, as Navy's Cody Peterson forcedBroam Hart to fumble. Tra'ves Bush recov-ered the fumble and ran it to the Midship-men 39. Navy took the lead on a six-play, 61yard drive set up by a 25-yard Gee GeeGreene run and capped by Noah Copeland'sfirst career touchdown.

The Falcons fumbled on their next twopossessions, losing their second fumbledeep inside Navy territory and their thirdnear midfield. A personal foul against theMidshipmen kept them out of the end zone,but they walked into the locker room at half-

time with a 10-7 lead.Navy sputtered on its opening drive on

the second half. The two teams traded pos-session until Air Force staged a 14-play, 83-yard drive in the final minutes of the thirdquarter to take a 14-10 lead on a 21-yardscamper by Cody Getz.

Miller orchestrated a Navy drive thatstarted at the 20 and continued into AirForce territory before stalling at the Air Force24. Miller left the game on after being tackledon third down: He limped off the field withhelp from two Navy coaches.

Air Force dropped a bomb on its nextdrive, scoring on a 54-yard flea flicker fromDante Strickland to Drew Coleman. ButNavy, led by freshman quarterback KeenanReynolds, returned the favor with a drivethat moved 75 yards in just over two min-utes. Noah Copeland took the ball into theend zone on a two-point conversion to tiethe game at 21.

That was the last score in regulation, asParker Harrington's 51-yard field goal at-tempt sailed left of the uprights.

Air Force deferred to Navy to start over-time, and the Midshipmen capitalized, withoffensive lineman Jake Zuzek falling on afumbled snap for the go-ahead touchdown.Air Force's overtime possession ended whenNavy's Wes Henderson batted down a Con-nor Dietz pass intended for Chris Jordan.

"Every game for us, we talk aboutturnover margin," Falcons head coach TroyCalhoun said. "Credit Navy for not turning it

over. For us, not being able to handle the ballas well as we needed to ... was a critical partof the game."

The bright spot in Air Force's loss wasCody Getz, who rushed for his third 200-yardgame this season and his fifth-straight gamewith more than 100 yards. Getz's perform-

ance makes him the first Falcon ever to havethree 200-yard games in a season and thesecond player in MountainWest conferencehistory with that accomplishment. Only twoother Falcons, Beau Morgan and Dee Dowis,have three or more 200-yard games in theircareers.

20th century that practical testing be-gan, which discovered something new,quite by accident.

In the autumn of 1922, Cmdr. AlbertH. Taylor and Mr. Leo C. Young, bothworking for the U.S. Naval Aircraft Ra-dio Laboratory at NAS Anacostia, wereconducting communications experi-ments. During their tests, they noticedthat a wooden ship in the Potomac Riv-er was interfering with their high fre-quency radio transmissions betweenAnacostia and a receiver, across the riv-er at Hains Point. The observation andanalysis of the phenomenon was a ba-sic step in the chain of events that led tothe U.S. Navy's invention of radar.

By 1930, Lawrence A. Hyland beganworking with Taylor and Young at theU.S. Naval Research Laboratory, whichis located on the contiguous Navy prop-erty to the south of JBAB. He used a sim-ilar arrangement to detect a passing air-craft. The three men ran several tests,varying antenna shape and radio fre-quencies.

They drove a receiver around in acar, to simulate the motion of a ship asit might try to detect an airborne plane.Since aircraft evolved as a seriousweapon of war, recognition of Hyland'srole surpassed that of Taylor's andYoung's.

This spectacular technological de-velopment rapidly evolved for severalmilitary applications and resulted in theNavy’s deployment of radar antennaprototypes, including that seen on USSNew York (BB 34) in 1938.

From its accidental discovery in the20th century, radar has since becomean important part of our daily lives andhas many applications beyond the mil-

itary arena, including weather and civilaviation.

Transition to JBABNAS Anacostia remained in service

as an active naval air station until 1962.In that year, its runways were deactivat-ed for fixed-wing aircraft, at the sametime as those of Bolling Air Force Base,due to traffic pattern issues with nearbyWashington Reagan National Airport.

In 1962, the NAS was re-designatedas Naval Support Facility (NSF) Anacos-tia. By then, its place was forever se-cured in naval and military history.

NSF Anacostia was a direct subordi-nate of Naval District Washington, be-fore it, and the Naval Research Labora-tory became components of the NavalSupport Activity Washington(NSAW).

On Oct. 1, 2010, the former NSFAnacostia was detached from NSAW,and along with Bolling Air Force Baseand Bellevue Navy Housing Area, werecombined as part of a Congressionally-mandated Base Realignment and Clo-sure Commission initiative to eliminateduplicative Air Force and Navy base op-erating support services, in an effort toimprove efficiency, effectiveness and bebetter stewards of taxpayer funding.

Today, thousands of people live orwork at JBAB. It is home to many DODcommands and units. JBAB’s mission isto provide exceptional support andbase services to those DOD entities.

As the nation’s premier joint base,JBAB supports presidential, ceremonial,homeland security, defense support tocivil authorities and national securitymissions, conducted by all five of thenation’s armed forces, the NationalGuard and federal agencies.
