Many people enjoy being the first to know something, butwhen that something is an emergency, knowing right whenit happens can keep you, your family, and co-workers safe.

For personnel in for personnel who work in the NavalDistrict Washington area, the best early warning system isthe AtHoc wide-area alert network.

The AtHoc system is a communication lifeline to all reg-istered personnel in the event of a disaster or emergency. Ifthere is a need to change an installation’s force protectioncondition, a weather event affects the operational status ofa command, or even if an exercise is underway, AtHoc letspersonnel know both during and after work hours. Person-nel are notified through a variety of measures to ensuregreatest dissemination of important information.

“[AtHoc] sends alerts to your computer or phone, andthat allows us to notify everyone of what is going on,” saidBill Holdren, NSAW antiterrorism officer. “Whether it’sweather conditions or force protection conditions, it pro-vides us with an easy way to push a button and reach outand notify all the personnel that are registered.”

Holdren suggests registering with your installation’swide area alert AtHoc network, regardless of rank or tenant

command, so that personnel are not left in the dark when achange occurs. Personnel with NMCI access can register byvisiting the Commander, Naval Installations Command’sWAAN page for Naval District Washington at http://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/ndw/about/waan.html , or by click-ing the purple globe icon at the bottom right of the desktop.

In addition to being good safety sense, registering withAtHoc is also a requirement for employees in NSAW. Ac-cording to CNIC’s WAAN webpage, both CNIC and NDWrequire all “military, civil service, contractor personnelwith a NMCI user account and assigned to the NDW head-

quarters, subordinate installations, and tenant activitiespersonnel to register their office email address and phonenumber, at minimum, in the NDW WAAN.” The site alsorecommends registering personal emergency contact infor-mation, though it is not a requirement.

A common misconception among common access card-holders is that they are automatically registered for theAtHoc system, but this is not the case.

“Personnel are not automatically registered in the NDWWAAN, but must individually self-register,” according tothe WAAN page. “Because the NDW WAAN uses the NMCIdomain, only NMCI account users are currently able to self-register. Self-registration is easily done with a common ac-cess card on a NMCI computer/laptop, using the AtHocSelf-service Client application. To register, or to update anAtHoc profile, the NMCI user needs to log in from a NMCIcomputer with the AtHoc Self-service Client applicationloaded to it.”

The page also has a Q&A section for any questions per-sonnel might have about the process, as well as download-able instructions for self-service registration, and NMCIHelp Desk numbers.

So regardless of where you stand in an organizationalchart, it is your responsibility if you work in NSAW to reg-ister for AtHoc. After all, if an emergency happens, do youwant to be the only who doesn’t know?

Naval Support Activity Washington playshost to a number of tenant commands thatserve the Navy and nation as a whole. TheWashington Navy Yard alone is home tomore than 100 tenant commands rangingfrom Naval Sea Systems Command to Com-mander, Navy Installations Command. Butwith so many commands on one installa-tion, getting pertinent information out orhaving issues addressed can be difficult.

Or it would be were it not for the ten-ant executive council, who’s nest meet-ing will be Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. in the Admi-ral Gooding Center at WNY. The TEC isa quarterly meeting between the NSAWcommanding officer, key staff members,and tenant command representatives toensure all parties are aware of important

and upcoming issues affecting them. Ad-ditionally, it acts as a forum to discussany tenant-specific issues affecting themor the installation. are Topics scheduledto be discussed at the Aug. 24 meeting in-clude major events taking place in the nextquarter, new parking plan and implemen-tation, Barry ceremony and removal, andzone inspection implementation.

A lot of it is raising awareness on secu-rity issues, emergency management, park-ing, and other issues on the base,” said Lt.Cmdr. John Liddle, NSAW executive officer.“Anything that makes us more efficient inproviding support to the tenants and al-lowing them to execute their missions, getpeople on the base at the start of the dayand out at the end of the day, is good. Theinformation we share through the tenant ex-ecutive council helps us to be more efficientbecause there is greater awareness of thepolicies and requirements we have to meet.”

Liddle explained that the more ten-ants that are involved in the TEC, thebetter all parties can be informed of is-sues and changes.

“We are doing our best to improve ourcommunications by way of being moreproactive,” said Liddle. “So we’re pushinga lot of information via email and throughFacebook and The Waterline. We wantfolks to definitely make use of those re-sources, because that’s how we’re goingto keep everybody informed between thecouncils, and hopefully that allows us toset a dialogue where we’re creating a con-tinuous improvement.”

Issues discussed at the last TEC includedraising awareness on security issues, emer-gency management, and hurricane seasonpreparedness. One of the biggest topics wasparking on the Navy Yard. Tenant participa-tion resulted in a special parking commit-tee comprised of all the NSAW Washington

Navy Yard tenants to help address trafficvolume and fewer parking spaces.

“We made sure the tenants understoodall of the work we’ve been doing to im-prove parking as much as we can and cre-ate a smooth traffic flow now that NAVSEAis back on the yard, and all the work we’vebeen doing with access control with all therequirements that are levied upon us withthe force protection condition bravo at thegates,” said Liddle. “It’s important that thetenants know what the requirements are tohelp us keep the base safe and process peo-ple through in a timely fashion.”

In essence, the TEC serves as an op-portunity for tenant commands to vote onissues of important to them, and to voicetheir concerns to the installation com-mander. By not participating in the TECmeeting, tenant commands are more or lessdenying themselves the right to be heard bythe installation.

TheWashington Navy Yard is a hub of ac-tivity in the popular Yard Park area of SouthEast D.C. The installation is host to theheadquarters of both Naval District Wash-ington and Naval Support Activity Washing-ton, as well as more than 100 tenant com-mands. Roughly 18,000 employees call theyard their workplace, and every one of them,as well as authorized visitors, are shieldedby a rigorous vetting process at the gates.

“We want the community to come onboard the Navy Yard and enjoy what it hasto offer,” said Lt. Nicholas Pecci, Naval Sup-port Activity Washington security officer.“There’s a lot of rich history here. We wanteveryone to come and see the museum andenjoy the sights and know that they are safeand sound while they do it.”

While they are here, though, their safetyand that of everyone on the base is para-mount. Pecci said that while there may be amisconception of “no access” when it comesto visiting the Navy Yard, security measuresare in place to ensure that everyone, person-nel and visiting members of the communityalike, can come in with the greatest safetyand minimum of inconvenience.

The Washington Navy Yard, like all De-partment of Defense installations, followsthe Directive-Type Memorandum 09-012Interim Policy Guidance for DoD PhysicalAccess Control. This document “establishesDoD access control policy and the mini-mumDoD security standards for controllingentry to DoD installations and stand-alonefacilities.” In short, it provides the securityguidelines for base access. To gain access tothe Navy Yard, Pecci said, most visitors onlyneed a Common Access Card, or a state orfederally issued ID card.

“DoD affiliated individuals with a validaccess token such as a Common AccessCard, can enter at any time,” said Pecci. “Fornon-DoD affiliated people, the DTM 09-012recognizes two categories of people - escort-ed and unescorted.”

Pecci explained that escorted individualscan be escorted on to the base by any gov-ernment employee CAC holder who has ac-cess to the yard. If an individual is unescort-ed, a simple vetting process provides themwith daily access to their desired location.It is important to note that escorted guests

should be well known to the escorting per-sonnel, and those being escorted must beaccompanied at all times.

“The unescorted visitors are individualswith reason to be on the base but who donot have such credentials, such as to visitthemuseum or the credit union,” said Pecci.“All they have to do is go to the Visitor Con-trol Center and tell them where on the basethey’re going, and request unescorted ac-cess. If anyone requests unescorted accessto the installation, we have to prove identityand run an FBI background check.”

To complete the background check, theindividual requesting unescorted accessprovides their identification and fills outa form with some personal information,which is then run against a database.

“It’s instantaneous. We run the checkright there,” said Pecci. “The longest part isfilling out the form; someone vets them rightthere tomake sure they have no warrants forarrest, major felonies, or other such criminalactivity on their record that would bar themaccess to the yard. And the information onthat form is safeguarded. Once their identityis proven and background checked, we issuethem a day pass. But if we can’t prove some-one’s identity, we can’t let them on.”

Pecci said the reasonbehind theprocedureis to safeguardpersonnel and visitors frompo-tential threats while they are at the Washing-ton Navy Yard and other installations.

“The goal is to limit chances of harmfulor violent acts from being introduced to ourvisitors and personnel,” said Pecci. “Somemay see it as an inconvenience at times, butit really is for the safety of everyone. And ithas been successful.”

In the end, whether they work or visit theWashingtonNavyYard, everyone should knowthey are safe while they are here, Pecci said.

“We want the community to know thatthe yard is here for them to visit, becausewe’re just as much a part of the commu-nity,” said Pecci. “We work closely with theinstitutions here to make sure that visitorscan easily access what the Navy Yard has tooffer, that personnel can do the jobs theyneed to do.”

Do you have go-to advice for your fellow shipmates onresponsible drinking? Have you noticed a shift in drinkingbehavior over the last year? This summer, the Navy Alco-hol and Drug Abuse Prevention Office launched the thirdannual Keep What You’ve Earned survey to gain insight onhow alcohol use and abuse is perceived in the Navy.

The anonymous survey takes five minutes to completeand is available at https://survey.max.gov/167456.

As a result of last year’s survey, completed by more than1,400 Navy personnel and their families, NADAP gainedvaluable insights about changes in Sailors’ drinking behav-ior and awareness of alcohol abuse prevention efforts likethe Keep What You’ve Earned campaign. This year, NADAPhopes to build on those insights to further improve the ef-fectiveness of the campaign.

“The Keep What You’ve Earned campaign has beenshaped by feedback from Sailors and its efforts would notbe successful without their input,” said Dorice Favorite, di-rector, NADAP Office. “The annual survey allows our officeto determine how well alcohol abuse prevention efforts and

messages are being delivered across the fleet and shape thefollowing year’s plan to improve those efforts.”

The anonymous survey asks about your reasons fordrinking, the likelihood that you or your fellow Sailorswould seek help for alcohol abuse, and any recommenda-tions you have for the campaign. Feedback from this surveywill help the campaign continue to develop materials toencourage responsible drinking and remind Sailors to keepwhat they’ve earned.

“Understanding Sailors’ opinions and attitudes towardsalcohol use in the Navy is a critical component to the suc-cess of the Keep What You’ve Earned campaign,” said Fa-vorite. “This survey gives us a pulse check on how those at-titudes and behaviors have changed in the past year, andhow we can continue to develop an innovative strategy topromote responsible drinking.”

The survey is being released in conjunction with thecampaign’s summer poster contest and the Play to Livepledge to drink responsibly this summer.

The Department of the Navy and Cityof Chattanooga held a ceremony Aug. 15 atthe University of Tennessee Chattanooga’s,McKenzie Arena in memory of the Sailorand four Marines killed in the Navy Opera-tional Support Center (NOSC) shooting onJuly 16.

The lives of Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sul-livan, Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, Sgt. CarsonHolmquist, Petty Officer 2nd Class RandallSmith, and Lance Cpl. Squire Wells werehonored with military traditions.

Marine Corps Band New Orleans and

United States Navy Band Sea Chanters pro-vided music as Vice President Joe Biden,Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, Secretaryof the Navy Hon. Ray Mabus, Chief of NavalOperations Adm. John Greenert and MasterChief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevensarrived.

Chattanooga Mayor Andrew Berkeopened the ceremony by speaking abouthis community and their appreciation of lo-cal service members and the police depart-ment.

“I want to say, on the behalf of our entirecity, we grieve with you,” said Berke. “Godbless these families, our great city and theUnited States of America.”

Mabus talked about the close relation-ship between Sailors and Marines.

“We are a family, the Navy and MarineCorps family,” said Mabus. “We work to-gether, serve together, overcome together.”

He repeatedly called the fallen and theirformer co-workers heroes.

“Heroes are ordinary people facing ex-traordinary circumstances,” said Mabus.“That commitment is the essence of Ma-rines and Sailors.”

With a solemn look on his face, Vice Pres-ident Joe Biden walked on stage to addressthe crowd.

“I’m honored to be here to join my col-leagues, but as I told the family members,I wish I didn’t have to be here,” said Biden.

Biden spent time speaking about each ofthe five NOSC Chattanooga service mem-bers and said they were the embodiment of

confidence, commitment, determination,passion and loyalty, adding, they belongedto “the finest generation of warriors theworld has ever known.”

He also had a message for the families ofthe fallen.

“You’re literally an inspiration and Amer-ica owes you just for being here,” said Biden.

Naval Support Activity Washington and its six fence linesaround the region have a secret weapon in the fight againstcrime and terrorism. Armed with keen senses of perception,these unassuming crime-fighters play a critical role in thedefense of the installations and everything on them. Theyare the installation personnel.

The “See Something, Say Something” campaign aimsto make everyone aware of their role in keeping the com-munity safe. That extends to the NSAW installations, wherepersonnel play a pivotal role in aiding security forces.

“‘See Something, Say Something’ came out after 9/11 andit is basically a way for a citizens’ police force to help the nor-mal police and federal agencies identify when things seemout of the ordinary,” said Justin Petrick, NSAW installationemergency manager. “We have as many officers as we canhave working the gates and patrolling, but we need person-nel inside our fence lines to help and be part of the com-munity policing.”

Petrick explained that NSAW’s fence lines fall inside oneof the busiest metropolitan areas in the world. The NationalCapital Region itself can be a big target, said Petrick, addingthat the onus is on those in the region to keep it safe.

“So this program affects the Navy Yard in that we live in aclosed society at the Navy Yard and around NSAW,” said Pet-

rick. “We have anywhere from 12,000 to 18,000 people here aday, and there’s always the chance that somebody slips in, soit’s a good opportunity for personnel to make their presenceknown.”

Being aware of one’s surroundings is an important tool.When personnel notice something out of the ordinary –such as a suspicious or unattended package, visitors takingpictures of secure facilities, or asking questions about thespecifics of day-to-operations or security at the installation– they should report it in the interest of safety.

“I’ve always been a huge proponent of community po-licing,” said Bill Holdren, NSAW antiterrorism officer. “Youembed an officer or two into a community, and they builda rapport with that community and you can apply that tothe Navy Yard. If you have 20 officers on duty at any giventime, that’s 20 sets of eyes looking around to ensure thingsare safe. But if you get the buy in from everybody, and theyall take responsibility for base security, well now you have16,000 people making sure that the installation is secure.And our people notice when something is amiss. They’vebeen here five, 10, 20 or more years; if something is out ofplace, they’re the first ones to see it.”

This idea extends beyond fence line. When out in thecommunity, personnel should make efforts to not identifythemselves as DoD personnel, said Holdren. Recent threatsfrom the self-proclaimed Islamic State and cyber-attackson DoD personnel make it necessary for personnel to takesteps towardmaking themselves less of a target for violenceor theft inside or outside installations. Further, NSAW em-ployees should be wary of anyone who tries to convincecredential-holders to escort them on to an installation.

“Anytime you go into a highly populated area and you’rein uniform, obviously be aware of what’s going on aroundyou,” advised Holdren. “Every time you leave the installa-tion you’re supposed to take your lanyard with your CACor ID, and put it in your pocket so as to not make yourself atarget when you go off base. But as far as uniforms, the bestthing to do is to come to work in civilian attire, and whenyou get to work go ahead and put your uniform on.”

But regardless of what you see or hear, both Petrick andHoldren recommend erring on the side of caution and re-porting anything suspicious to authorities.

“If you’re on the Navy Yard or any of the NSAW installa-tions it is important to call our dispatch at 433-3333, that isour emergency line, and report to them what they’ve seenand all of the pertinent information that goes along with it,”said Petrick. “And again, it’s important for everyone to knowthat number; just like out in town you would dial 911 andmake the report, inside our fence lines you dial 433-3333.”

When making a report, Petrick said to include as muchinformation as possible. Include a detailed description ofthe person or object in question, the time and location ofthe suspicious activity, and any other information deemedpertinent. Petrick stressed that there is no such thing as toomuch information when reporting a potential threat.

In addition to suspicious packages and people, certainactivities that are not suspicious outside the NCR should bereported within the Washington D.C. city limits. An exampleof this is drone or unmanned aerial vehicle piloting. A recre-ational hobby that has seen a surge in popularity in recentyears, it is illegal to take part in within Washington D.C.

“All of the military installations in the NCR have beenasked to bring our people’s attention to drones, light air-craft, and what they call unmanned aerial vehicles,” saidPetrick. “They are illegal in the National Capital Region. TheNCR has a 15-mile circumference around Reagan NationalAirport that is a ‘no drone zone.’ D.C. is encompassed inthat entire area. It is important that people know this fortwo reasons – we want to make sure that the bad guys aren’tgetting here in that way, and because we have personnelwho are plane-and-or-drone enthusiasts who need to knowthis is a no fly zone. So if you’re coming from somewhereelse and you just got stationed here and you don’t the rules,then you can get into a lot of trouble.”

On and off installations, NSAW safety officials remindpersonnel to take their security and that of their installationseriously. If it seems out of the ordinary, report it by dialing433-3333 on the installation or 911 when out in town.
