Navy Installs C4I Aboard Mobile Landing Platform Ships

PANAMA CITY, Florida – The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) installed the Command, Control, Communication, Computers, and In-telligence (C4I) suite aboard the USNS Lewis B. Puller in preparation for recently completed Acceptance Trials.

The NSWC PCD Mobile Landing Platform (MLP)/Afloat Forward Staging Base (AFSB) Project Engineer Richard Childress said the C4I installation efforts were successfully completed to support this first-purpose built AFSB on the MLP platform. It is the third of five total MLPs planned to augment amphibious assault ships.

“We integrated expeditionary C4I on this variant to pro-vide the U.S. Navy with a mobile sea base with added com-mand and control (C2) capability,” said Childress.

Sealift Program Office (PMS 385) in Program Executive Office, Ships, is based on the design of the Alaska-class oil tanker and includes a flight deck for maritime air opera-tions. It is slated to replace the USS Ponce (AFSB-1), the U.S. Navy’s interim AFSB in the Persian Gulf.

“The versatile MLP ships support military sea-basing and transport missions,” said Brad Babinski, NSWC PCD Tacti-cal Systems Branch Head. “Now, with robust C2 networks on the AFSB variant, the warfighter has effective decision making tools to support Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Special Operations Force (SOF) missions.”

Babinski said NSWC PCD works hard to remain Amer-ica’s technical center of excellence for littoral warfare and coastal defense and that this expertise was meticulously ap-plied to the USNS Lewis B. Puller.

“We implemented many innovative solutions to success-fully install C4I networks aboard ship. With them, the U.S. Navy has just extended its reach across the world.” ♦

Prototype Fabrication Facility Gets New Laser Cutter

By Katherine MappNSWC PCD Public Affairs

See LASER, page 5

PANAMA CITY, Florida – To further en-hance rapid prototyping capabilities, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) Prototype Fabrica-tion Facility recently added a laser cutter to their capabilities.

The LVD Strippit CNC Laser is an auto-mated, self–feeding machine used to cut and shape piece parts and components for proto-type assemblies.

According to James Green, Prototype Fabrication Facility branch head, this ma-chine is capable of positioning speeds up to 4,000 inches a minute on a rapid setting, a significant improvement compared to using the water jet process.

In terms of automation and self-feeding, the machine determines the wattage of the operation and selects it automatically based on the thickness of the material that it is cut-ting.

Green said the machine is presently fast-er than anything in the shops.

“The machine’s rapid rate of operation allows employees in the shop to produce multiple piece-parts very quickly,” said Green. “It can produce hundreds of parts within just a few hours.”

Not only is the LVD Strippit CNC La-ser very fast when it comes to operation and production, but it is also very cost effective

and timely.By creating various piece-parts within

the shops, it saves time and money, and keeps the manufacturing in house so that supplies can be readily available when need-ed, or at least within a short amount of time.

The laser has a wide variety of cutting capabilities unlike any machine that the shops have thus far.

“It will cut stainless steel up to 5/8’s of an inch thick, stainless with a modifier up to half of an inch, aluminum alloy up to 3/8’s of an inch thick, and from a 1040 series up to a A936 series of steel,” said Green.

According to John Leroy, prototype shop water jet operator/laser operator, a benefit of the laser is that it has extremely impressive accuracy and finishing.

“The laser is powered in congruence with gases, which act as a pressure annex to purify the precision and quality of the laser’s cut. As far as finishing is concerned, the laser leaves such a smooth finish on the material that additional adjustments are not required,” said Leroy

The machine is used not only to laser cut various materials, but it is capable of engrav-ing as well. The laser can cut the part out of the materials, and engrave the same part, all within the same work period of time.

Green said what is interesting about the engraving process of the laser is that ma-

View from the BridgeBy Commanding OfficerCapt. Phillip Dawson III

Good Day Shipmates,This month, I thought I would review the

high points from the Department Equal Op-portunity Climate Survey (DEOCS) Briefs most you just attended. As Mr. Stewart and I mentioned during the Briefs, NSWC PCD is doing great things that are appreciated by the warfighter, which is a direct result of all of the hard work you do.

In return, all of you deserve the best possible work environment, free from dis-crimination and harassment. To attain and sustain such an environment, we need your feedback on what we are doing right, and what we can improve. The DEOCS Sur-vey is one of the tools we use to solicit that feedback.

We want to understand and improve the Command’s climate and that starts with your perceptions. Pointing out problems is fine, helping us find the solutions is even better. We see the results of the survey as generally positive, while identifying areas to continue to improve.

Almost 45 percent took the survey, an improvement over last year of 2 percent. Although the overall statistics indicate most feel favorable concerning the command climate, the data indicates we do have a problem here at PCD that requires the at-tention of All Hands. We had 124 responses indicating some form of discrimination has occurred in the workplace! This is almost a 22 percent increase from last year’s survey!

An even more significant issue is that 67 percent of these incidents were not reported and 74 percent were not dealt with in any manner. My question to you is why? An-ecdotally, we’ve heard that the Command doesn’t do anything when these issues are reported. I assure you that the Command does take any claims seriously, investigates the allegations, and if substantiated, takes appropriate action. Specifics of any disci-plinary actions cannot be made public, but where possible, I plan to share the redacted results with you in the future.

Secondly, the DEOCS shed light on an equally serious matter — sexual harass-ment. Of the 12 incidents reported in this survey, only 4 were reported. As always, this Command has a zero tolerance policy of sexual harassment and it will not be tol-erated. Our job now is to ensure the number of incidents is driven to zero in order to en-sure the workplace fosters a positive, sup-porting environment in which people feel they can trust their leadership, their peers, and the process and that they can have the courage to report any incidents immediate-ly. Sexual harassment will not be tolerated at NSWC PCD.

Bottom Line: Any form of discrimina-tion is unprofessional, but more importantly it is unacceptable and it will not be tolerated at NSWC PCD. Our Command Core Values include Leadership, Teamwork, and Per-sonal Accountability. Discriminatory and harassing behaviors violate all of these ten-ants. We will strive to eliminate the behav-ior, and the individual(s) who are found to be discriminating will be held responsible for their actions. Every one of you also has a role in this. It’s really quite simple, but not always easy. If you see or hear something wrong, you need to do something: inter-vene, speak up, or tell someone who can. It is always the right thing to do.

Additional evaluation of the metrics and the three hundred pages of comments from this survey helped us to understand three core focus areas that the leadership team has committed to work on this year. They are: Communication, Acquisition, Informa-tion Assurance (IA) and Information Tech-nology (IT).

Leadership’s understanding of the cur-rent communication problem is that com-munication does not flow freely from senior leadership to all levels of the organization. NSWC PCD two-way communication needs to be more effective so that the entire workforce has the same information. This

will help everyone make informed deci-sions on professional and organizational decisions.

Communication cannot be solved with one tool, so we offered a glimpse at all of the communication tools and products available at NSWC PCD. These include our Town Halls, Coastal Compass, iNAVSEA, Naval Systems Engineering Resource Cen-ter (NSERC) and our Facebook page.

New communication products are com-ing online in the upcoming fiscal year like digital signage, which will help you and your teams understand in real time what is happening each day. We think this will be a solid communication tool that will also al-low us to share content with other Warfare Centers, Regional Maintenance Centers, shipyards, sponsors, including the Wash-ington Navy Yard within the NAVSEA and Warfare Center Headquarters work spaces.

However, communication doesn’t end with new tools or gadgets. Nothing replaces a good old fashioned conversation, face to face. I have committed to get out to each de-partment twice a quarter and have a Brown Bag Lunch and open discussion. The Town Halls will be restructured and the workforce will determine the subject. We encourage you to reach out to your leadership. This is a starting point and we feel that combined with the identified communication tools and tactics that our workforce will enjoy enhanced two-way communications.

Regarding the acquisition process, the Leadership Team understands the problem as contracts and procurement obstacles in-hibit timely execution of our tasking. We must streamline the processes and apply ju-dicious decision making to balance compli-ance with getting the job done.

We are proud to announce that of all Warfare Centers, NSWC PCD’s contract award time for SEAPORT contracts is the fastest, but we will continue to make it better. Contracts Department Head Mary Langfeldt and her team are committed to improving customer service, contract award processes and communications. That’s why they already host monthly execution re-views with each department.

We have more Engineering Liaison Of-fice (ELO) interactions, and monthly acqui-sition strategy reviews.

The bottom line, folks, is that our Con-tracts Department is doing a solid job and they are working very hard to keep our com-

In the future state, we will de-velop Integrated Product Teams (customer, ELO, Contracts, Legal) for awarding con-tract actions, and we will roll out templates that will help you, the requestors, be able to duplicate your contract successes through consistency and repeatable actions.

That’s the heart of technical rigor, right? And speaking of rigor, we as the customer have important responsibilities as well. We need to plan ahead, we need to deliver well developed requirements for our acquisi-tions and procurements, and we need to be responsive members of the team.

Lastly, regarding the IA/IT burdens as they were labeled by some in this survey, we understood the problem to be procure-ment and sustainment of our Information Technology (software/hardware) is cum-bersome and slow with constantly changing requirements.

We must develop ways to adhere to cy-ber security requirements while accounting for our needs to obtain leading edge tools in an efficient and timely manner. I ask ev-eryone to pause and appreciate the environ-ment in which we work, especially in light of the OPM data breach. We now live in a world where the threat constantly evolves, and the actions necessary to protect our

intellectual property and sensitive person-al information are constantly changing. I have established an internal process where our CIO approves all procurements below $25K and reviews all below $500K. This paperwork is typically turned around in less than a day. We plan to provide 10 support contracted IT professionals to help support our research, develpment, testing and eval-uation network. We are also exploring ways to leverage the entire Naval research and development establishment to find expedi-ent ways to solve the challenges presented by the DON Application and Database Management System approval process.

In the end, it only takes a few bad ac-tors to spoil a good show. If you see or hear something wrong, you need to do some-thing: intervene, speak up, or tell someone who can. It is always the right thing to do.

At the end of the day, it’s nice to know the vast majority of you do the right things every day, all the time, and I want you to know what a great job you’re doing. Mr. Stewart and I are very proud of each of you for all you achieve on a daily basis. Because of your dedication and professionalism, NSWC PCD has been going strong for 70 years.

Thank you for keeping us growing strong for seven decades and here’s to an-other seven decades or more! ♦


Reconnecting A Navy Diver’s History with Father’s Legacy

By Jacqui BarkerNSWC PCD Public Affairs

Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) Command Master Chief Navy Diver, Master Chief Petty Officer (MDV/SG) Louis Deflice speaks to the family of former NEDU Commanding Officer Capt. Charles “Black Bart” Bartholomew during a Home of Military Diving tour June 15, 2015 in Panama City, Florida. Bartholomew was at NEDU from 1977 to 1980 and was also the former Director, Supervisor of Salvage. (Photo by Katherine Mapp, NSWC PCD Public Affairs/RELEASED).

PANAMA CITY, Florida — U.S. Navy Capt. Charles “Black Bart” Bartholomew’s legacy is alive and well as witnessed June 15, 2015 when his son, Cris, his wife and his four children toured the Home of Military Diving in Panama City, Florida during the Year of the Military Diver.

Bartholomew was a 1961 graduate of the U.S. Naval Acad-emy and the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture. He served as the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) commanding officer from 1977-1980 and later as the Director of Ocean Engineering and Supervisor of Salvage (SUPSALV) in Washington D.C.

While Bartholomew served at NEDU, the family lived in Pan-ama City Beach, Florida. He remembers living in officer housing, playing in the waters of St. Andrew Bay just steps from his back door, and visiting his father at work. Today, Cris and his family live in Elk Grove, California.

“I remember my Dad telling me we were going to have people over and he would give me a gunny sack and tell me to go fill it with oysters from the (St. Andrew) Bay. I remember I was so

excited about coming back to Panama City on different orders so that we would have had a bigger, better house right there and I wanted that specific room,” he said, pointing to a neighboring offi-cer’s home that also overlooked what is today the “new” Hathaway Bridge.

While visiting NEDU and the house he once lived in as a child, Cris discovered how some parts of his childhood remained the same, like NEDU where he was able to see his father’s legacy on a record breaking deep dive board that still holds true today from 1979. Cris was able to share his father’s dive contributions with his children, “Black Bart’s” grandchildren. Cris’ older son, Charles, was named after his grandfather.

“I remember him telling me I should come down here (to NEDU) because they were breaking a world record and that it would be really neat to see,” said Cris. “I’m glad I did.”

That was one of the record setting deep dives set in 1979 when NEDU divers conducted a dive to a simulated depth of 1,800 feet in the Ocean Simulation Facility or OSF. The OSF simulates ocean conditions to a maximum pressure equivalent of 2,250 feet seawa-

ter (fsw) at any salinity level. The chamber complex consists of a 55,000-gallon wet chamber and five interconnected dry living/working chambers totaling 3,300 cubic feet of space. Wet and dry chamber temperatures can be set from 28 to 104 °F. Saturation dives can be performed for more than 30 days of continuous expo-sure in the OSF.

Throughout Cris’ family tour of the Naval Diving and Salvage Training (NDSTC), NEDU, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC PCD), active duty and retired divers reached out to shake Cris’ hand and to tell him what his father meant to them and the Navy diving community.

“What your dad did for us was amazing. You’re royalty to us,” said NEDU Command Master Chief Navy Diver, Master Chief Petty Officer (MDV/SG) Louis Deflice. “Your dad was the real deal.”

According to NSWC PCD Diving and Life Support Technical Program Manager Wes Hughson, dive systems, like the Mk-3 light weight dive system, are used today in the U.S. Navy because of Capt. Bartholomew’s efforts.

“This is his legacy today,” said Hughson, pointing to the Mk-29 semi-closed circuit surface supplied dive prototype, affection-ately referred to as “Eugene.” “Capt. Bartholomew was the one who promoted the use of and pushed for the development of lighter weight dive systems.”

At NDSTC, Cris and his family saw dive systems used by his father and learned that back in the mid-1970s, there were multiple dive schools in the U.S. Navy – today there is only NDSTC.

Capt. Bartholomew had extensive salvage experience in Viet-nam and also participated in salvage projects to include the Chal-lenger Space Shuttle, United Airlines Flight 811, Air India and even in the U.S. Navy’s effort to support the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup effort.

“Man, we love him. His book “Mud, Muscle, and Miracles” was awesome,” said Navy Diver First Class Daniel Hilyard, USN

(Ret.). “If he was alive, no doubt, he would’ve made admiral.”Non-military divers may also appreciate his dive contributions

when they visit Bay County and dive the Black Bart artificial reef that was once a 180-foot supply ship used for offshore diving op-erations. The reef today is located approximately six miles off the coast of Panama City, Florida and in 80 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sunk in July 16, 1993, the wreck was dedicated to the former SUPSALV director who was also an avid sport diver – a passion today shared by his son who, along with his wife, Kim. Cris Bar-tholomew recently dove the Black Bart this year during his June visit to Panama City Beach, Florida. More information about the dive site is available at: http://www.adiscuba.com/dive-sites/290/black-bart/. ♦

OPM Data Breach Information

WASHINGTON — In April 2015, the Office of Personnel Man-agement (OPM) became aware of a cybersecurity incident affect-ing its systems and data that may have compromised the personal information of current and former federal employees. (Incident #1)

OPM began conducting notifications to affected individuals us-ing email and/or USPS First Class mail on June 8, 2015. Recogniz-ing the inherent security concerns in this methodology, with OPM and CSID support, DoD suspended notifications to employees on June 11, 2015, until an improved, more secure notification and re-sponse process is in place. Late June 15, 2015, OPM advised that email notification resumed. Email notifications should be complete by June 22, 2015. U.S. Postal mail notifications will take longer.

For the latest DON OPM data breach information and updated DON OCHR FAQs, visit this site frequently: http://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?id=6455.

In the course of the ongoing investigation into the cyber in-trusion that compromised personnel records of current and former federal employees (announced June 4), it was discovered that ad-

ditional OPM systems were compromised. These systems contain information related to background investigations. OPM, the De-partment of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are working as part of an ongoing investigation to determine the number of people affected by this separate intru-sion. OPM will notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised as soon as practicable. (Incident #2)

Since the investigation is on-going, additional exposures may come to light; if this occurs, OPM will conduct additional notifica-tions as necessary. ♦

NSWC PCD Supports 10th Annual STEM Camp at FSU PCBy Katherine Mapp

NSWC PCD Public Affairs

PANAMA CITY, Florida — Naval Surface Warfare Center Pana-ma City Division (NSWC PCD) personnel supported Florida State University Panama City (FSU PC) Science, Technology, Engineer-ing, and Mathematics (STEM) Institute’s 10th annual STEM camp June 15, 2015.

The STEM camp is designed to engage the minds of students by allowing them to have hands on experience in a laboratory set-ting with a variety of STEM related subjects. The mission of FSU PC’s STEM Institute is to promote educational excellence by pro-viding educators with professional skills, creating quality learning opportunities for K-12 students, cultivating regional partnerships and developing new STEM education programs.

The STEM camp began in 2005 through the efforts of NSWC PCD Technical Directors Dr. Ace Summey and Dr. Dave Skinner, former NSWC PCD Department Head Leon Walters, NSWC PCD STEM Outreach Coordinator Ed Linsenmeyer, along with academ-ic leaders including Bay County School District Board Member Ginger Littleton.

“We knew there was a need and a requirement for someone to get involved with a STEM active youth group and students of the surrounding area, so we began the first one as an outreach to en-gage youth,” says Walters. “The group did not know how much of a positive impact the STEM camp would come to be over the past ten years, but they are pleasantly surprised what a value the camp has become to not only our local community, but surrounding areas including Washington county as well.”

The FSU PC STEM Institute website states that at the camp, STEM professionals and local educators inspire students to have an interest in STEM by giving them hands on experience by learn-ing in the various areas including: robotics, environment, electrical engineering and computer science.

According to Dr. John Smith, FSU PC STEM Institute Director, the STEM camp would not be possible without the generous sup-port of sponsors like NSWC PCD, who provides a sizeable grant every year.

“This year, because of the grant, students are able to attend the STEM camp essentially free. NSWC PCD has been working the funding and manpower for several years by providing volun-teer hours, mentors, and teachers for this educational event,” said Smith.

The STEM camp has also sparked interest among students in other counties, including Washington and Holmes Counties. Kathy Nelson, coordinator at Florida Panhandle Technical College, first learned of the STEM camp about four years ago.

“When I first attended the camp with my students, the children were awestruck by what was available to them via the FSU PC STEM camp,” said Nelson. “One student even felt they were not capable of participating in such an intriguing event. By the end of the event, the child said they could never have imagined building a robot, but were surprised by doing just that, programming it and building solar lights, too.”

The students were so impressed at what FSU PC STEM camp had to offer, that they urged Nelson to allow them to have a STEM club of their own.

Now, Nelson has replicated her learning in Washington County and started a STEM club. Nelson’s STEM Club, to date, targets 5th through 8th grade students in Chipley, Florida and offers those ru-ral students, as well as surrounding rural counties, the opportunity to experience STEM.

“The students enjoy the club so much that they are always

recruiting new members to join, allowing others to see what is possible with STEM. They even get to demonstrate that their student-built MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 robots are named ‘Elliephant the elephant.’ The robots even include an elephant roar to show others an example of what can be constructed in the STEM club,” she said.

In addition to learning about STEM, Nelson said developing communication skills is also essential.

“The best way to develop communication skills is to be doing something and then sharing that with others” says Nelson. “I am indebted to NSWC PCD and FSUPC for allowing this experience.”

“It is wonderful that we have a group of young people that are interested in learning from people that are out in the community doing interesting and profitable jobs”, says Steve Leach, FSUPC interim dean and computer science professor. “There are very posi-tive and wonderful things going on right here on our campus, and we are just thrilled to be a part of it.”

A featured STEM Camp attraction was named after a former NSWC PCD Department Head.

During the orientation ceremony of the event, Bay District School Board member Ginger Littleton gave a brief introduction of Sam E. Nole, the STEM Institute’s first humanoid robot who goes to various school campuses and engages the students in the idea of pursuing an education in the STEM field. She then announced that there would be a new member to the Nole family that had the same characteristics as the person for whom it was named. Some of

the characteristics included someone who was: passionate, enthu-siastic, a person who gives the STEM message across the region, someone able to drop the hammer if need be, and it should be a person who has carried on Dr. Skinner’s vision of STEM develop-ment.

FSUPC’s second humanoid robot was announced as Walter’s “Wally” Nole, the namesake for Leon Walters, STEM institute board member and NSWC PCD retiree. Walters was elated to be the recipient of the robot namesake, along with a naming certificate for Walter’s “Wally” Nole.

“Whoever is responsible for this, I thank you. I am so honored” said Walters.

Looking about and surveying the camp’s current state, Walters said today’s successes made him remember where it all began.

“When we started this ten years ago, we did not know how suc-cessful this was going to get. I remember when we started, we had a child that was homeless. I am proud to announce that by being his mentor, I helped played a part in helping him become a rising se-nior in chemical engineering with a double major in math — that’s really what it’s all about!”

Walters concluded the ceremony and acceptance of his name-sake certificate with a closing statement.

“I encourage each of you students to see what there is to learn at these campuses that might be where you want to be in the future that is associated with STEM” stated Walters. “The possibilities are endless.” ♦

PANAMA CITY, Florida — Two Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) branches pushed the tech-nical rigor pause button June 22, 2015 in Panama City, Florida to enjoy some fun and merriment while supporting an upcoming community event.

NSWC PCD Test Engineering Branch (Code E41) and Range and Facilities Branch (Code E42) hosted the first annual Branch-Pie-in-the-Face Competition. The friendly competition gave em-ployees the chance to have some fun with their supervisors and raise money for a good cause. Branch supervisors who took pies in their faces were selected by branch employee votes. The top three supervisors were lucky enough to put their faces where other people’s mouths – and wallets – were to raise money for a chil-dren’s charity.

Event coordinator Paula Oliver, who is also the administrative assistant for codes E40, E41, and E42, noted that not only will the friendly competition raise money for a great cause, but it will also encourage interaction and networking among the codes and branches. In total, the event raised approximately $250.

“We have so many new personnel in the both branches that this competition gives them a good chance to meet everyone by adding a little fun to the mix”, said Oliver.

From the pie-in-the-face event, 90 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the non-profit organization known as the Children’s Christmas Party Committee (CCPC) who is hosting the 65th Chil-dren’s Christmas Party (CCP) in December 2015. The annual CCP assists low-income children from the Bay County community dur-

ing the holiday season and is coordinated through the Bay County School District. The money will be used to provide necessities such as clothing, food, and toiletries, but also some exciting gifts similar to what children might find in a stocking such as pens/pen-cils, candy, and toys. Additionally, each child has the opportunity to sit with Santa and his elf, and open a Christmas stocking full of goodies, along with a large bag of presents.

Each year, 100 children are selected based on need to partici-pate in the annual event. The Bay District School students are se-lected by the Bay District School Board. Children of Navy fami-lies are also recommended by Naval Support Activity Panama City Chaplain Lt. Jennifer Howe, USN.

“During the party, when you see the children open their bag of goodies, their eyes light up at the toys and clothes they asked for!” said Jodi Hendrix, co-president of the CCPC. “It is truly a magi-cal and a heart-warming event to see children admiring socks and undergarments and even toothbrushes because they may not have any of these items.”

The CCP has had a positive impact on the community since 1950 by improving the holidays for children in need.

“If it wasn’t for this event, some children would not know the joy of receiving something special from people that care,” said Oli-ver. “The CCPC is important because it shows the community that the base cares about Bay County youth and that we want to make a difference in the holiday season.”

For 65 years, the members of CCPC have worked to overcome fundraising obstacles, and they continue to have faith that they will do it again this year, and for many years to come. ♦

PANAMA CITY, Florida — Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) employees logged over 3,000 volunteer-service hours with Bay Dis-trict Schools during the 2014-2015 school year. On June 9, 2015 these employees were recognized during the 5th an-nual Educational Partnership Awards held at Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSA PC).

At the ceremony, NSA PC Commanding Officer Cmdr. Christopher Serow, USN, along with Bay District School Board Superintendent Bill Husfelt, recognized military members and civilian employees who have served as both mentors and volunteers in the public schools. Educators were honored as well after being nominated by military members for going above and beyond for their military-dependent children in Bay District Schools.

“I continue to be impressed with the character and com-mitment of our people. This year we had over 35 individu-als who met the 10-hour volunteer hour criteria for recog-nition in the Education Partnership Awards,” said NSWC PCD Deputy Division Technical Director Dave Tubridy.

“There is no doubt that our workforce has had a pro-found and lasting impact on the students’ lives within our local school district,” said Tubridy. “Honestly, it is this kind of volunteerism that makes our community so rich and

the Command so very proud.”According to Lynda Brown, NSA PC School Liaison Of-

ficer, all of the base employees who were recognized have positively impacted the lives of over 8,400 children this school year.

Brown said these individuals have gone the extra mile to contribute their personal time to volunteering with children in our community and encouraging the learning process, as well as reiterating the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Serow and Husfelt expressed their sincerest gratitude throughout the ceremony.

“Supporting military dependents who attend our schools is of utmost importance,” Husfelt said. “Teachers, with the support of our administration and staff throughout our school district, recognize the special challenges for those who serve in the military. We understand that it is the entire family that serves.”

Lisa Miller, a teacher from North Bay Haven Charter Academy, was recognized at the ceremony for her hard work and determination as a hospital homebound teacher of the son of Brenna Williams, NSWC PCD Strategic Ana-lyst. In January 2015, Williams’ son had major surgery and was out of school for almost two months. As a homebound teacher, Miller went above and beyond to ensure that Wil-

liams’ son understood all of the material and was up to date on all of his assignments. As a result of Miller’s conscien-tious efforts, Williams’ son earned straight A’s on his report card.

“Without Miller’s professional and extra effort, his ac-ademic success would not have been possible,” Williams said. “We are very grateful for her efforts to ensure his learning continued during that difficult time and also to ensure his goal of attending the university of his choice was not impeded.”

Among those recognized at the ceremony, the follow-ing are employees of NSWC PCD: Don Bickford, Candace Cobb, Gabriel Colon, Amanda Davis, James Fath, Avia-tion Machinist Mate Second Class Garrett Fiedler, Dan Flisek, Paige George, Pete Hamilton, Dr. Jeremy Hatcher, Jodi Hendrix, Richard Hurst, Keri Kazebeer, Matt Kopp, Heidi Lecklitner-Halvorson, Edward Linsenmeyer, Leslie Y.

PANAMA CITY, Florida – More than 1,600 college students ap-plied for the National Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) in December 2014 and 592 began their internships at various locations throughout the U.S. in May and June 2015.

Of the 592 students selected for the prestigious Science, Tech-nology, Engineering and Math internship program, the Naval Sur-face Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) wel-comed 41 students May 26, 2015 to embark on a 10-week journey.

“For this year, 1,663 students applied to the program and 592 internships in total were awarded,” said NSWC PCD NREIP Coor-dinator Mary Hulgan. “NSWC PCD has the NREIP’s fourth largest amount of interns for fiscal year 2015 and it’s the largest number we’ve ever had.”

NSWC Panama City Division is fourth behind Naval Research Lab with 54, Space and Warfare Command Pacific with 65, and NSWC Carderock Division Ship Systems Engineering Station (SSES) who accepted 90 students.

Hulgan attributes much of the program and NSWC PCD’s suc-cess with the internship program due to STEM engagement and

community involvement by NSWC PCD’s Educational Outreach Coordinator Ed Linsenmeyer.

“Ed is very engaged with our community and these students talk with each other,” said Hulgan. “We look for interns starting at the sophomore in college level in hopes they will join our work-force after graduation.”

“I am fortunate to have many occasions to speak to undergradu-ate and graduate students about the opportunities offered by NREIP internships. Because of the very favorable experiences that our program provides to these students, they in turn become our best recruiters,” said Linsenmeyer. “Many of these young engineers are surprised that they are able to work on real DoD problems and that their contributions are valued by the engineering teams with which work during the summer.”

NREIP internships provide the opportunity for a young engi-neer to build his or her resume. We encourage our best interns to apply to the DoD SMART (Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation) Scholarship for service,” said Linsenmeyer. “Many of the SMART award recipients we have chosen have had NREIP experiences that contributed to their high rankings during


the selection process.”One example of such success, Lauren Hawkins, now works as

NSWC PCD MH-60S Test Lead (Code A25). Hawkins, who now supports the Littoral Combat Ship Mine Countermeasure Mission Package integration effort interned for five summers between 2006 and 2011.

“She began to intern with us several years ago back when we could accept high school students. Lauren interned with us as a junior in high school. She is now one of our employees,” said Hulgan. “She was an NREIP intern who was then accepted as a SMART Scholarship recipient. Now she’s working with us.”

“During my internships I worked with a group of other interns on a design task. I performed the mechanical design work for a piece of support equipment or a test apparatus. I would generate Computer Aided Design models, drawings, and capture the design in a report and presentation,” said Hawkins. “I selected NSWC PCD since I was a Panama City local. I was also very familiar with the mission of NSWC PCD since my father has been an employee

here his entire career. He has greatly enjoyed his career. If I have half the fulfillment in my career that he has had, I would count myself very fortunate.”

Hawkins, who first interned as a high school student with NSWC PCD in 2006 and 2007, was part of the Summer Partner-ship Employment Program. In 2008 and 2010, she returned as a NREIP intern. By the 2011 summer, she returned but this time as a SMART Program intern.

“My sponsoring facility was NSWC PCD, so my employment here was automatic. That program is an amazing deal. I couldn’t pass that opportunity up,” said Hawkins. “I started full time in June of 2012. I am the MH-60S integration test lead, which means I co-ordinate aircraft based test events for the Organic Airborne Mine Countermeasures (OAMCM) systems. This summer, I have an ad-ditional role of the LCS logistics helicopter coordinator.”

Hoping for similar success is Intern Tinsley Ressler, who in-terned at NSWC PCD in the summer 2014. She is now also a SMART scholarship recipient. ♦

PANAMA CITY, Florida –Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) hosted the first annual Director’s Cup June 22, 2015 and the competition was fierce. The event was held at the Acoustic Test Pond as a form of workforce develop-ment.

According to NSWC PCD’s Technical Director Ed Stewart, offensive and fierce tactics were actually expected.

“I did hear through the grapevine there would be some fierce and offensive capability demonstrated should competition be-come desperate,” Stewart said. “And we did see some desperate situations, so it was a lot of fun.”

The Director’s Cup is a technological competition that chal-lenged three of NSWC PCD’s technical departments: Department A, Department E, and Department X. Each team consisted of a multi-disciplinary team of junior engineers (less than 5 years of service) and a senior mentor. A, E, and X teams designed and fabricated a system to meet the goals of the competition, which was to ultimately complete the technological challenges and win.

According to NSWC PCD Commanding Officer Capt Daw-son, the competing engineers’ tactics showed winning so highly prioritized, that it fueled the competition’s intensity.

“These teams want to win. So we should expect defense engi-neers to adapt by using aggressive military tactics,” said Dawson.

Stewart masterminded this year’s first annual Director’s Cup Competition to stir up camaraderie, innovative thinking and en-courage networking among engineers working in different depart-ments. He asked Capt. Dawson and retired NSWC PCD Techni-cal Director Dr. Ace Summey to act as judges for the event.

Teams went head-to-head to complete their first two missions. The first mission was the targeting and maneuvering of their ve-hicles. Points were awarded to a team whose mission package physically acquired a color-coded floating target and placed them into a goal. The second mission capability was to maneuver a team’s vehicle while relying only on a visual display of the com-petition area.

Each department boasted technological superiority. “Give the A Team a minute, and we are good,” said Code

A Department Head Lisa Tindell. “Give us an hour, and we are great. Give us six months, and we are unbeatable!”

Code X Department Head Dr. Kerry Commander warned op-posing teams of their imminent doom.

“It’s like cyber warfare,” said Commander. “Codes A and E are going to crash at the starting line!”

Code E Department Head Sheila Schnoering warned competi-tors to beware of her teams’ aggressive capabilities.

“From our sea base, we will maneuver into a winning posi-tion and assault our competition,” said Schnoering.

CUP from page 16In addition to robotic battles, fundraising events were held to

benefit the Navy Ball. Navy divers set up booths where hamburg-ers, hotdogs and beverages were sold.

Stewart and Dawson faced off in a heated competition of their own. Each loaded their grills with pork barbeque basted with fi-ery sauces adding to the day’s searing temperatures. Consequent-ly, crowds rushed refreshment stands to quench thirsts filling cof-fers with coins for a nostalgic event honoring 240 years of Navy Ball tradition.

Stewart and Dawson lowered tensions when they holstered their spatulas, forming a truce long enough to announce the win-ner of their culinary dual.

“Well, maybe somebody stuffed the ballet box,” said Stew-art. “There were supposedly 1,256 votes submitted for the Big-Green-Egg Barbeque Challenge. And though I received a lot of votes, Capt. Dawson’s recipe actually took the lion’s share, so he wins — this year, anyway”

Stewart then announced the winner of the competition.“At the end of the day, we’re all judged on performance,” said

Stewart. “So for overall performance, the winner for the very first Director’s Cup goes to the X Department’s X-Men. They now have bragging rights and hold the trophy until next year’s chal-lenge!”

Judges also awarded teams who showed significant achieve-

ment for ingenuity: one category for robustness of design and another for creativity.

“A Department’s A-Team wins in the category for robustness of design,” said Stewart. “Their model worked reliably through-out the whole competition.”

Dawson praised E Department for their unit’s intimidating sound of whirling rotors in flight, earning their vehicle’s name Yellow Jacket.

“When E Department lit their flying rotors up, all three judges took a few steps back,” said Dawson. “With their drone sounding like a swarm of Yellow Jackets, the judges decided E Department should win the award for creativity!”

Summey noted how the competition illustrated basic engi-neering principles practiced at NSWC PCD.

“This competition was impressive because it networked expe-rienced mentors with young recruits,” said Summey. “Today we saw engineering principles demonstrated at NSWC PCD. From flying boats to battling bots, we witnessed them gathering and neutralizing targets. It was team building, it was networking, and it was exciting!”

Spokesperson for Department E’s team, Jeff Dinges said their Yellow Jacket was built to intimidate, but also to have practical

“When our team brainstormed the multi-rotor concept, we simply had to go for it,” said Dinges. “It was a design concept we knew could have multiple applications for missions we encounter regularly with the Marine Corps.”

Although Department A Team Mentor Mark Bates said his team may not have won first place, they were proud to have maintained the only craft to stay functional throughout the whole competition.

“I’m happy that in the last two rounds, we won them both and had the only boat floating with its system still intact,” said Bates. “But if we had thought to sink the X-Men’s little ducky drones from the start, I think we would have won.”

X Department spokesperson Bill Porter savored his team’s overall victory, but was disappointed over the loss of one of their unmanned duck-shaped drones.

“We’re very happy about our victory,” said Porter. “However, we did lose one of our little unmanned surface craft. They weren’t built to be attacked, but were forced to behave defensively any-way by the E Team’s flying bumble bee. May our ducky rest in peace.” ♦
