It happens every year in January — that auld lang syne promise that THIS is the year that you will go to the gym five times a week, eat more salads, for-go sweets of all kinds and drop those pesky pounds you’ve been vowing to be rid of for years. But then it happens: the second week of the month rolls around and you decide since you’ve already blown at least one of the above resolutions, you might as well give up.

This year however, with some ad-vice from the professionals at the Na-val Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren Fitness Center you can have your own team of professionals to help guide you and keep you on track.

NSF Dahlgren Fitness Director Ra-chel Kaufmann is happy that many of us view the New Year as a time to begin a fitness regime, but feels like there’s really no better time than the

present to get moving.“I wish people wouldn’t wait for

January — if it’s March and you don’t

feel like you’re where you want to be then just get started,” Kaufmann said. “A lot of people define working out

as coming in and working out on the treadmill or lifting, but really just be-ing active in general is a good thing.”You’ve Got to Move it, Move it

Kaufmann emphasizes that it is movement that matters, not specific activities.

“You have to use your body — use it or lose it. There are so many options here at the fitness center; we have the basketball courts, the racquetball courts, the group exercise classes and space for you to do your own thing,” Kaufmann shared. “We’ve got a guy that comes in a couple times a week to dance and he does his thing and the key is he’s moving his body. Peo-ple get hung up on the notion of what exercise is.”

Don’t let factors such as bad weath-er keep you from activity either. The fitness center offers a warm dry place to move your body. Simply walking laps around the gym or playing bas-

At Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) a team of pro-fessionally-trained staff at the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) quietly prepares to provide support and guidance to victims of sexual as-sault. The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) office, led by Gloria Arteaga, is located at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren’s FFSC and victim advocates are on call 24/7 to provide support when needed. The Dahlgren office also serves personnel stationed at NSF Indian Head.

Arteaga and her team recently de-signed and conducted a drill with the NSASP Police Department that tested their ability to respond to a sexual as-sault.

The training scenario presented vic-tim advocates with a minor girl who was attacked on base by a military member; the “victim” was accompa-nied to the police department by her distraught “father,” who also needed assistance to deal with his emotions surrounding the attack. The advocate met them there.

Hospitalman Brittany Lawrence

and Religious Program Specialist 2nd Class Greyson Harrelson portrayed the victim and her father, respectively, as role players in this scenario, but the

responders were the very real Navy police officers.

“This was the first time we have had an incident like this with our security

personnel, so I felt that it was going to be more of an educational experience

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) — The Navy is aligning limited duty officers (LDO) who support the nuclear enter-prise under the 640X desig-nator into the 62XX nuclear power series, according to NAVADMIN 006/16 re-leased Jan. 6.

This change aligns all sub-marine and nuclear enter-prise LDOs’ job functions, increases efficiencies in accessions, career manage-ment and the distribution of LDOs within the nuclear enterprise.

These LDOs support the nuclear power enterprise, serving aboard aircraft car-riers, submarines, subma-rine tenders and in various nuclear maintenance posi-tions.

No action is required by individual officers as the ad-ministrative change will be automatic.

NAVADMIN 006/16 is posted at www.npc.navy.mil.

For more news from Chief of Naval Personnel, visit www.navy.mil/local/cnp/.

WASHINGTON (NNS) — Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson re-leased ‘A Design for Main-taining Maritime Superior-ity,’ Jan. 5, a document that addresses how the Navy will adapt to changes in the security environment and continue to fulfill its mis-sion.

To read A Design for Main-taining Maritime Superiority click here.

The term ‘design’ refers to the document’s built-in flex-ibility, recognizing the rap-id rate of change occurring in both technology and the maritime domain.

“This guidance frames the problem and a way forward, while acknowledging that there is inherent and funda-mental uncertainty in both the problem definition and the proposed solution,” said Richardson.

“As we move forward, we’ll

respect that we won’t get it all right, and so we’ll moni-tor and assess ourselves and our surroundings as we go. We’ll learn and adapt, always getting better, striving to the limits of performance.”

The CNO’s design reaffirms the Navy’s mission, describes the strategic environment and identifies four lines of effort, each with correspond-ing objectives to guide the actions of the Navy and its leaders.

The four lines of effort are the following:

- Strengthen Naval Power at and from Sea

- Achieve High Velocity Learning at Every Level

- Strengthen our Navy Team for the Future

- Expand and Strengthen our Network of Partners

The document also details four ‘Core Attributes’ that serve as guiding criteria for command decisions in de-centralized operations: in-tegrity, accountability, initia-tive, and toughness.

This Week in Navy History

U.S. NAVY PHOTO

The USS Antietam was one of 24 Es-sex-class aircraft carriers and the first air-craft carrier to feature an angled flight deck. In the early 1950s, she was redesignated an attack carrier (CVA) and then an antisubma-rine warfare carrier (CVS). After the Korean War she spent the rest of her career oper-ating in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Medi-terranean. From 1957 until her deactivation, she was the Navy’s training carrier, operat-ing out of Florida. The Antietam was fitted with a port sponson in 1952 to make her the world’s first true angled-deck aircraft carri-er.

ketball with friends is a fitness accom-plishment. NSF Dahlgren Fitness Cen-ter has an age 35-plus open basketball sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays; so if you enjoy shooting hoops that counts towards your fitness goal.

Group activities are also a good place to start if you are just beginning on your fitness journey.

“Taking a group class is a great place to start for many reasons,” Kaufmann said. “You have a guided workout with min-imal cost, where the instructor is there to guide and motivate you. Other partic-ipants are there for the same reasons and doing the same thing you are so you don’t feel like you are in the spotlight.”

For active duty, retired and dependents, group classes are free. For Department of Defense (DoD) civilians and contractors classes are a very reasonable $4 for a sin-gle class and $15 for unlimited monthly classes. There are also eight and twenty class punch cards available as well.

With a variety of classes ranging from toning and sculpting, yoga, Zumba and Spinning as well as the new TRX class along with fitness classes that are held in the Aquatics center there are choices for everyone at every fitness level.

The newest group class offering — the TRX class — utilizes a suspension train-ing apparatus and your own body weight to create a powerful workout, the in-tensity of which you can control just by changing the angle you are working out from.

There is also TRX suspension gear available outside of the group exercise room as well that you can use on your own.

If the aquatics offerings are more your style you don’t have much longer to wait. The pool is projected to be reopened on Jan. 25 following a “facelift” with a resur-facing of new tiles and some upgrades to the heating system. The revamped facili-ty will provide an ideal low-impact work-out zone for all fitness levels.

No matter what your activity choice is, the American College of Sports Med-icine recommends 30 minutes a day at least five days a week of moderate in-tensity exercise such as walking, or three days per week of high-intensity, 20 min-ute workouts as a minimum.Fitness and Technology

There are many fitness apps and tech-nology to keep you on track and moti-vated and Kaufmann has a few personal favorites that she feels would benefit anyone seeking a healthier life style.

“I’ve had my FitBit for two years now and it’s a great way to keep motivated,” Kaufmann said. “It’s an excellent tool to track your fitness level such as whether you are reaching the minimum 10,000 steps [per day] recommended by the Surgeon General to increase physical activity.”

Other fitness devices include trackers from Garmin and Jawbone. To make

the most of the devices there are various apps that help you best use the infor-mation that the devices track as well as allowing you to keep track of your work-outs and your caloric goals.

Kaufmann suggests several apps in-cluding “Gympact”, “MyFitnessPal” and “Fitocracy” to help you remain account-able to your commitment to better health through more healthful eating or a commitment to exercising more.

One of the apps -gympact — even al-lows you to “wager” on your progress. For each fitness pact that you make and succeed at you receive a portion of the ‘kitty’ that you and others pay into. With three types of ‘pacts’ including gym pact, veggie pact and a food logging pact there are plenty of options and ways to not only get healthier but earn money as well. Find more details online at www.pactapp.com.

Kaufmann’s favorite app however is the “Fitocracy” app.

“It’s sort of a FaceBook for fitness,” Kaufmann explains as she shows me a recent post of a workout. “You get points for your workouts and gain levels. I am currently at level 39. Other people can also ‘prop’ your workout which is like a ‘thumbs up’”.

Along with tracking your workout there is a social network-like feature that allows users to post questions, track progress, post articles or just talk about fitness and join other likeminded indi-viduals in groups.

My Fitness Pal is another app that Kaufmann believes is useful in promot-ing a healthier lifestyle.

“I am a really big fan of the app, I check in with myself to make sure I am on track with my eating habits,” Kaufmann said. “I don’t use it year round but for a few months at a time to maintain consisten-cy.”

The application allows users to log meals and track nutrients and calories, keep track of fitness activity along with a counter to track water intake. There are also charts and reports to allow your in-ner geek to track your successes.Accountability in Action

Finding a workout partner for account-ability is an excellent way to stay moti-vated and on the path to good health. Kaufmann believes that apps can help in accountability.

“Whether you’re wagering with your friends for bragging right or money or just using the apps as a sounding board, there are definitely ways to find account-ability out there, “Kaufmann said.

If you don’t have a workout buddy, group classes are a great way to find a partner with the same fitness goals and abilities as you to keep you motivated.NOFFS

One course offering at both fitness centers is the Navy Operations Fitness and Fueling Systems or NOFFS. The New Year has NSF Dahlgren offering two class times on Wednesdays and Fridays that are open to anyone who is interest-ed in learning about better health that includes both top notch physical fitness training and nutrition information.

A special NOFFS class strictly for ac-tive duty members and dependents will be held on Jan. 22 with components in Cardio, weight training and the Navy’s approved nutritional program.Slow and Steady but Don’t Quit

Statistically speaking, individuals who make gradual lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity, dietary changes and overall positive lifestyle ad-justments are able to retain their weight loss and fitness goals and the NSASP fitness centers have everything you need to begin a lifelong journey of good health. The first step however, is making the commitment to show up.

“It isn’t easy,” Kaufmann admits. “You just have to remember to be patient with yourself, show up and you will achieve your goals.”

So before you give up on your “New Year New You” resolution, head down to NSF Dahlgren’s new Fitness Center and shoot some hoops, enjoy a yoga class, take a walk on one of the treadmills or any of the other activities available to you. Take it one meal at a time, one workout at a time and remember that any day is a good day to resolve to be your healthiest!

for them, because we want them to be ready in the event this situation arises,” Arteaga said. “We want to establish good open communication and work together with them in these types of situations.”

There were several issues at play in the event that the drill was designed to assess — how quickly the security staff was able to assess the situation and reach out to the “watch bill” to get the SAPR staff involved, the level of privacy that the victim was afforded, how long it took for the watch bill to be reached and deployed an advocate, and how the “crisis” was han-dled overall. The security forces were unaware that the drill was about to happen and Arteaga was very interested in how the scenario would unfold.

As it turned out, NSASP security forces were well-pre-pared for such a scenario. Deputy Chief of Police Stan Chizuk quickly assessed the delicate situation and moved both the “victim” and “father” into a private room to offer as much privacy as he could while -under the watch-ful eyes of Arteaga and Ed Patuga, NSASP training and readiness officer -he gently guided the “victim” through a description statement so that the police could begin to do what they do best- — locating and apprehending the perpe-trator. Chizuk also enlisted a female police officer, Sgt. Bo-

nita Fulcher, to be a part of the team as they moved forward to provide the victim with a sense of safety during the in-terview.

After Chizuk was able to get the information that he need-ed, he moved out and left Ful-cher to provide security and comfort to the victim as they moved forward with the law enforcement side of the re-sponse. At this point, Arteaga was able to provide prompts for Fulcher as she reached out to the SAPR staff.

Fulcher was pleased to have been chosen to participate in the event.

“This has been very in-formative,” Fulcher said. “It helped refresh my knowledge on how to get in touch with the SAPR office and know what their protocol was. I think it was a great idea to have a drill so that we are well prepared for this type of inci-dent.”

“We want to be sure that we are taking care of our vic-tims in the best way possible. Fortunately or unfortunate-ly — depending on how you look at it — we don’t have a lot of training in this because we don’t have these types of situations here frequently,” Chizuk said.

Just as in the popular T.V. show “Law and Order”, offi-cers of the law have a very specific function — to find and arrest the “bad guy,” the courts have their role in the prosecution of offenders, but it is the SAPR advocates who are the team members trained to provide support and guidance for the vic-tim and remain with them

throughout their ordeal. From the time the call goes out, to the potential hospital visits, to dealing with the aftermath, SAPR advocates are here to assist a victim throughout the emotional journey.

SAPR professionals and volunteers stand in the gap for the victims and are trained to provide expert care and guidance through a difficult experience.

Preventing and responding to sexual assaults is the goal of the cadre of trained SAPR victim advocates on staff at FFSC, but that goal is also to have trained volunteer ad-vocates from within tenant commands on base. Arteaga and the SAPR team are cur-rently seeking support from individuals within the NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head community to step up and be a part of the program.

Active duty service mem-bers who volunteer receive extensive training to how they can provide support for their shipmates and cowork-ers in the wake of a sexual assault. An initial 40-hour training course is conducted to prepare volunteer victim advocates. Refresher courses are also offered and are man-datory to remain an active member of the SAPR team.

Unfortunately, contractors are not able to participate in the program as victim advo-cates; however Arteaga em-phasized that SAPR services are available to anyone who calls. SAPR advocates will assist in finding the prop-er channel for anyone who reaches out in an assault sit-uation.

“It has been a challenge to find people to participate and get more involved with the SAPR program,” said Felicia Hoyle, NSASP’s SAPR victim advocacy support specialist.

Harrelson, a SAPR victim advocate for several years, shared his take on the train-ing courses offered.

“This drill was a good re-fresher training for me,” Har-relson said. “I had taken the course two years ago and did the refresher course last year, but I think these sorts of drills are really helpful for the vic-tim advocates.”

The SAPR Advocate Pro-gram leaders discovered that having the simulated drills were so successful and well-received by the volunteers that they now hold them at every training course.

“We’ve begun having a sim-ulated drill like this one at the end of each of our training courses that we do,” Hoyle said. “At the end of our 40-hour initial training we even have NCIS come and conduct an actual NCIS interview as part of the drill. Our potential SAPR advocates are given my phone as the duty cell and we guide them through the en-tire response process.”

“The SAPR training is much more graphic and definitely makes the issue more real,” Harrelson said. “I think all Sailors should go through a more intensive course-it’s re-ally an eye-opener.”

Another SAPR Advoca-cy Training course will be offered in May. To find out more about the course and how you can be a part of the program, contact the Fleet and Family Support Center office at 540-653-1839 or 800-500-4947.

If you need access to the emergency SAPR advocate please call 540-424-0660. They are available 24 hours a day for crisis relief.

Installing and setting up a programmable thermostat can save you 10% or more on heating and cooling costs each year. Spend a little, save a lot!
