“We are close to launch-ing the ChowNow applica-tion,” said Douglas Arnett,RECCC general manager.“It will be available forboth Apple and Androidproducts. We are excitedfor this new program. Itgives RECCC the opportu-nity to offer the same foodfrom our ala cart menuand is a creative way to ex-pand our brand to peoplewho may not be familiarwith our products. Thestaff is very receptive andenthusiastic as we movethis project forward.”

Arnett, who recentlyarrived from NAS CorpusChristi, expects the ap-plication will be well re-ceived by current patronsas well as potentially newcustomers.

“When you lookaround you see manypeople on their phones,”Arnett said. “It’s be-come the preferred toolof communication forthe younger generation.Once the application isset up on the phone it willsimplify the process. Themenu and pricing willstreamline our services.”

“Once food is ordered,the application will senda message to an iPad wehave here at RECCC,” Ar-nett explained. “The or-der will ring like a phonetelling the cashier thatwe have an order. Theorder will then be sentto the kitchen and whenthe patron comes to pickup their food, it’s alreadybeen paid for, so there isno monetary transactionbetween the customerand our team.

NAS Patuxent River currently has fiveMilitary Working Dogs (MWDs) and threehandlers. Lackland Air Force Base in SanAntonio is the MWD program manager andprovides dogs to all branches of the armedservices.

As a new team, it’s important for the han-dler and MWD to bond through play anddaily workouts at Pax River’s training/obedi-ence obstacle course.

Handlers, such as MA2 Kegan Dolde, pic-tured, must undergo three months of certi-fication training and know how to controland care for their canine partner, learn basicobedience commands and the proper proce-dures for patrolling and searching an area.

Training for handlers and their MWDs isongoing, with the pair having to meet strin-gent weekly requirements.

Pax River MWDs are used not only to sniffout contraband or locate and attack a per-petrator; they also provide a psychologicaldeterrent to potential wrong-doers.

On average, MWDs serve about eight yearsand, following retirement, are allowed to beadopted by former handlers or other quali-fied civilians.

Shepherds and Belgian Malinois arebreeds most often used as MWDs because oftheir high energy, intelligence, athleticismand loyalty.

Dogs have aided the U.S. military as farback as World War I, from supporting troopswith service as simple as killing rats intrenches to today’s sophisticated detectioncanines.

Looking past mental andphysical disabilities will

build a stronger team, guestspeakers said at the “Ameri-cans with Disabilities Act:Moving Forward Celebra-tion” held here July 7.

“It is about the dignity ofmankind and all humans.When we’re inclusive, we’redoing just that,” said retiredCol. Gregory D. Gadson.“That’s how we begin tobuild an inclusive team. Ourhearts and minds are open.”

Ejected into the Bagh-dad darkness after a road-side bomb attack in Iraqin May 2007, Gadson’s un-conscious body was tossedapproximately 100 metersfrom his vehicle. A newlytrained medic and privatefrom his unit, the 2nd Bat-talion, 32nd Field Artillery,

strapped tourniquets ontoGadson’s legs, saving hislife.

Once at the intensivecare unit at Walter ReedNational Military MedicalCenter, he began to bleedto death. Down to just onelimb, Gadson curled up intoa ball for 48 hours, saying hewanted life to pass him by.

“I thank God that Iwasn’t a quitter, becausethat wasn’t who I was,”he reflected. “I realized Icouldn’t quit, because Ididn’t know how to quit. Irededicated my life to justliving and staying in themoment, making the mostof everything in front of me.Living every moment like itwas my last.”

Despite losing both hislegs above the knees - andnormal use of his right armand hand - he went on tocontinue active duty assign-ments in the Army, appear

in the film “Battleship” andmentor the then-strugglingNew York Giants and othersports teams and organiza-tions with his message ofteamwork, perseveranceand determination.

Gadson does not see hisstory as any more differentor valuable than anyoneelse’s, however, and he en-couraged employees to givevoice to the voiceless.

“Every single one of youhas a story and has over-come something in yourlife,” he said. “These are sto-ries that can make us better,if they just have the oppor-tunity to be heard.”

One such story is that ofMichael Fields of the Na-tional Alliance on MentalIllness, who has battled al-coholism and clinical de-pression with a suicidal ide-ation for years.

“When things go bad forme, death just seems like

the answer,” he said. “Thesuffering is unbelievable;it’s the darkest, blackesthole you can imagine beingin.”

Like Gadson, Fields haslearned to accept his dis-ability, using honesty, hu-mility, meditation, prayerand peer support to aid inhis recovery. Now, he wakesup each morning with an-ticipation, not dread.

“Mental and physicaldisabilities are far morealike than they are differ-ent,” he said, “and a disabil-ity can happen to anybodyat any time.”

Because of this, bothFields and Gadson urgedemployees to be inclusive.

“Don’t shortchange yourteam by bypassing some ofyour best talent,” Fields ad-vised.

Gadson said, “You havean opportunity to build yourteam. We have to change

our hearts and minds, em-brace the idea of being in-clusive. Until we do that, wereally won’t make progress.”

As of July 2015, NAVAIRhas on board 3,513 em-ployees with disabilitiesnationally. According to theU.S. Department of Labor,as of June 2015, the unem-ployment rate for people

with disabilities is 9.3 per-cent, versus 5.3 percent forpeople without disabilities.Senior leaders challengedevent attendees to over-come any inherent biasesduring hiring.

“Although deliverieswon’t be included withthe application’s initiallaunch, we are still plan-ning on conducting them[deliveries],” Arnett said.“We have a lot of housingand office buildings thatpresent a lot of possibili-

ties and potential custom-ers.

“We are also lookingto expand the applica-tion even farther by link-ing it to your Facebookprofile,” Arnett explained.“ChowNow will be a cor-ner stone for many ofRECCC’s future projects.

Military members, civilians andprogram alumni of the F/A-

18 & EA-18G Program Office (PMA-265), gathered for their Change ofCommand ceremony Thursday,July 16, in the hangar of Air Test andEvaluation Squadron (VX-23) at Na-val Air Station Patuxent River.

Capt. David Kindley relievedCapt. Frank Morley, who was re-cently selected to the rankof rear ad-miral lower half, as PMA-265’s 13thprogrammanager.

Rear Adm. Donald Gaddis, Pro-gram Executive Officer for TacticalAircraft Programs (PEO(T)), servedas the ceremony’s keynote speaker.

During the ceremony, Morleyreiterated his core values and PMA-265’s primary mission to sustain,support and advance the fleet formission success and highlighted theaccomplishments and continuedimpact of the U.S. Navy’s longestrunning tactical aircraft program.

Morley successfully facilitatedthe sustainment of 1,645 domesticand international aircraft all whilemanaging an annual portfolio of$4.1 billion. Additionally, he led amulti-disciplined, international or-ganization of more than 3,200 mili-tary, civilian and industry personnelin support of the F/A-18 andEA-18Gprogram.

Morley has commanded PMA-265 since July 2011.

“Our goal has always been ‘fleetfirst’, and as Capt. Kindley takescharge, I can assure you that soleobjective will stay the course,” saidMorley. “It’s an honor to turn overto such a knowledgeable and en-thusiastic leader whose technicalacumen and illustrative career only

Ateam from NAVAIR par-ticipated in the Navy’s

TridentWarrior sea trial exper-iment June 24 to July 7 aboardUSSGeorgeWashington (CVN73) to demonstrate a capabil-ity that will enhance the car-rier strike group’s battlespaceawareness in the future.

Paul Weinstein, CommonStandards and Interoperabil-ity deputy program manager,and his team supported theexercise in the Western Pa-cific, and tested a technologythat allows commanders toreceive multiple feeds of re-al-time video, and exchangedata with intelligence centersashore.

“We understood the needto for operational command-ers to have greater situationalawareness in the vast, com-plex maritime environment,”said Weinstein. “This event

allowed us to prove a new ca-pability thatwill help decisionmakers at-sea assess vulnera-bility and risks during ISR [In-telligence, Surveillance andReconnaissance] missions.”

Today, ships do not havea centralized process for han-dling multiple video and datafeeds,Weinstein said. There islimited bandwidth to collectlarge quantities of informa-tion. As a result, carrier strikegroups have limited access tobattlespace Full-Motion Vid-eo (FMV) and moving targetindication data.

Weinstein’s team modi-fied an existing Unified VideoPortal (UVP) currently locatedat multiple intelligence agen-cies and integrated the systemaboard the ship. A UVP is aUnified Video DisseminationSystem (UVDS) node whichprovides the DoD and intel-ligence community with asolution for both dissemina-tion of ISR data and real-timeviewing of FMV streams and

metadata.“During a portion of the

exercise, we streamed videofrom a battlegroup DDG[guided missile destroyer]

back to an intelligence centerashore for 48 hourswithno is-sues,while theGWmonitoredthe feed with its UVP server,”said Garret Hart, Space and

Naval Warfare Systems Com-mand (SPAWAR) support en-gineer.

The UVP minimized us-age of data/communication

bandwidth and provided theship with the capability (re-phrase?) to simultaneously re-ceivemultiple video feeds andtransmit and receive metada-ta and audio to multiple clas-sified workstations ashore.

“I was impressed with thecapabilities of the system toprovide streaming fullmotionvideo in near real-time fromboth organic strike group andnon-organic sources,” saidRear Adm. John Alexander,Commander, Battle Force 7thFleet, Task Force 70, CarrierStrike Group 5.

The Navy plans to imple-ment this capability aboardan aircraft carrier in 2016.

Trident Warrior is an an-nual sea trial experiment thatfocuses on the experimen-tation of approximately 100criticalmaritime technologieswhich focuses on evaluatinghow to use technologies andequipment more effectivelyand efficiently in order to re-duce costs for the Navy.

For as long as GregorySoneson, a native of

Downingtown, Pennsyl-vania, can remember,he has had a passionfor aviation. Sonesonis a participant in theNAVAIR Engineer andScientist DevelopmentProgram (ESDP) andsince September 2014has been working asa flight test engineerin the NAVAIR RotaryWing AeromechanicsBranch (AIR 5.1.6.4)supporting the CH-53Kplatform, as of Septem-ber 2014.

“This is my dream jobto be working with state-of-the-art rotorcraft,”said Soneson. “I was real-ly attracted to the idea ofbeing able to work at NA-VAIR where I can poten-tially work closely withmany different aircraft

platforms throughout mycareer. At NAVAIR, youcan climb aboard andget up close and personalwith various aircraft sys-tems — that is very ap-pealing as a flight testengineer.”

In the ESDP, employ-ees must complete tworotations during their

three years of training.Developmental rotationsare vital for gaining thebreadth of knowledgeand experience necessaryfor an employee in theESDP to progress into asuccessful journey-levelmember of the work-force.

In April 2015, Sone-son began his first five-month rotation workingwith Sikorsky, allowinghim to work side-by-sidewith Sikorsky’s designengineers. This uniquerotation offered him theopportunity to see thedesign process of theCH-53K, which in turngave him an additionaltechnical vantage pointas a NAVAIR flight testengineer.

“One of the most re-warding and insightfulaspects of this rotationis being able to gain abroader understanding

of the methods and pro-cesses between industryand government engi-neering counterparts,”explained Soneson.

“My involvement iswith the development ofCH-53K control law func-tions to meet programrequirements in prepa-ration for first flight,” hesaid. “I’m also involvedwith supporting flightcontrol system softwaretesting and analysisthrough piloted simula-tion evaluations in Sikor-sky’s motion-based flightsimulator and flight con-trols system integrationlab.”

Soneson’s rotationunexpectedly developedfrom a collaborative pi-loted flight simulationsession between NAVAIRand Sikorsky in whichengineers and test pilotswere addressing the CH-53K flight controls and

flying quality character-istics.

“Often, such as inGreg’s case, employ-ees are presented with arotational opportunitythey might not have ex-pected,” said StephanieGleason, ESDP programmanager. “Meetings canoften turn into a rota-tional interview, so I en-courage employees to al-ways be prepared for thenext professional growthopportunity and to builda strong network.”

Before Soneson be-gan his rotation he andhis supervisor, Rick Fun-chion, Rotary Wing Aero-mechanics Branch head,established a communi-cation plan to allow himto continue to be in con-tact with his team abouthis learning experienceswhile on rotation. Sone-son also credits his men-tor, Eric Fallabel, NAVAIR

CH-53K flying qualitiesand flight controls testlead, for setting a goodexample of how to learnas much as possible, staymodest and be genuinelyfriendly to everyone withwhom he works.

“Thanks to ESDP andits encouragement ofwork rotations, I hopeto expand my technicalknowledge of the CH-53Kand improve profession-al relationships betweenNAVAIR and the rotor-craft design communityfor a smoother flight testprocess,” said Soneson.“In five years I hope tostill be working with NA-VAIR as an engineer. Theoutstanding people I getto work with would makeit hard to want to leave.”
