The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Disability Program Man-ager and a severely injured Navy wounded warrior who returned to active duty shared their stories, chal-lenges, and goals at National Disabil-ity Employment Awareness Month events Oct. 28-29.

“I’m able to make an immediate impact by offering qualified individ-uals with disabilities quality careers,” NAVSEA Disability Program Manager Joe Aukward told military and civilian personnel at the two Naval Surface

Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) sites.

Chief Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician Joe Miller — recip-ient of the Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with Valor — joined him at the first observance held at Dam Neck.

“We must remove the stigma of dis-ability and shift perceptions of what disabled people can accomplish if given the proper support,” said Miller, who was severely injured by a land mine in Afghanistan after spending four hours clearing 22 other people

out of a mine field.Miller recounted his rehabilitation

treatment at Bethesda Walter Reed Medical Center where he persevered to walk again in 31 days. He returned to work within three months, success-fully making his case to remain on ac-tive duty, and is preparing to head out on another deployment.

The EOD Chief combined humor with show and tell to discuss his dis-ability, quickly eliminating any pre-con-

ceived bias that listeners may have. If asked, he proudly pulls up his uniform pant leg to show his prosthetic leg and indicates how he has adjusted his body mechanics to tackle the many physi-cal challenges that he must overcome. Miller calls this “active communication” which he believes is essential for super-visors who may have difficulty starting

Officers from the Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) Public Safety Operations office were on hand recently at the Dahlgren School to promote bicycle safety awareness for the students. Through the course, students were taught proper hand signaling, bicycle rules of the road and rode their bikes — following a safety check from the officers- through a series of obstacle courses designed to test their skills and their equip-ment.

“It’s especially important because we do have kids that ride their bikes to school and we have a lot of vehicular traf-fic,” Cpl. Bryan Mason said. “One of the things we get asked about a lot is whether riding on the sidewalks is okay, so it’s good that we can provide that information in a fun way for the children.”

NSASP bicycle regulations state that on base 15 years old and under can ride their bikes on the sidewalks as long as they are not obstructing pedestrian traffic.

Bryan Mason is shown with Jackson, who received the “Safe Cyclist Award”, consisting of a bike light and reflector set. The requirements for the award were to display the highest proficiencies during the four bicycle han-dling skills tests, along with passing the helmet, and bicycle inspection. Finally, Cpl. Andre Roy (standing) and Cpl. Scott Broske (kneeling) were on hand to assist the students with their bicycle equipment checks. Shown here, officers Roy and Broske assist third grader Jasmine and fourth graders Sania and Salma with their helmet adjustments.

Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Di-vision (NSWCDD) partnered with U.S. Army agencies at Natick Soldier Research and De-velopment Center (NSRDEC) to conduct a 12-mile road march with an electricity generating backpack here, Aug. 31 — Sept. 3.

A six-man U.S. Army Ranger team evaluated the “Lightning Pack” component of the Joint Infantry Company Prototype (JIC-P) system throughout the march.

The program intends to increase the elec-trical sustainability of dismounted infantry in hard to reach austere environments. Part-nering technical leads from NSWCDD and NSRDEC are integrating human worn energy harvesting devices with power management equipment so Marines and Soldiers can oper-ate farther, longer, and lighter with less spare batteries and logistical re-supply.

JIC-P is programmatically managed by Head-quarters Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office and sponsored by Office of Secretary Defense Operational Energy Plans and Policies.

JIC-P components include high efficiency so-

lar panels, vest worn power managers, a “Bionic Power Knee Harvester,” and the Lightning Packs.

“Today’s Soldiers and Marines often carry up to 150 lbs. of gear into multi-day combat mis-sions. Up to 30 lbs. of that can be associated with spare batteries,” NSWCDD engineer, Eric South said. “JIC-P intends to evaluate the inte-gration of “on the move” energy harvesting and power management to help get some of that weight off their back and increase the austere warfighter’s sustainability.”

Noel Soto of NSRDEC collected the empiri-cal data and qualitative feedback of the Light-ning Packs during the Fort Benning 12-mile road march. The data will be used to improve functional and ergonomic human factors as-pects of the pack and other JIC-P components.

“This is a good example of when the technical work we are doing in support of the Army may have potential applications for the Marine Corps and Special Operations community,” said Mr. Donald McCormack, Executive Director, Naval Surface and Undersea Warfare Centers.

The 12-mile road march was the first of many

user evaluations to be scheduled throughout fiscal years 2016 and 2017. “We want Soldiers and Marines to have a chance to try this gear out and give us feedback while it’s still in de-velopment,” said South. “We really try and in-corporate what they have to say in the design. Ultimately, we’re working for them.”

Empirical data and qualitative feedback were collected to improve functional and ergonomic human factors aspects of the electricity generating back-pack.

the conversation with their disabled em-ployees.

Aukward gradually lost his sight, be-coming legally blind in his mid-twenties, but became a champion for others with disabilities who want to work.

“The unemployment rate for Americans with a disability is 70 percent,” he said. “That is too high. It’s our duty to ensure those Americans have employment options.”

Aukward — passionate about edu-cating the disabled and those without a disability — informed the military and civilian audiences about NAVSEA programs, such as the reasonable ac-commodation program, designed to support disabled employees through-out their careers.

“My challenge with increasing employ-ment opportunities is to reach out to the targeted men and women with disabil-ities, he said. “To reach this challenge, NAVSEA leadership is partnering with or-ganizations to help obtain the hiring goal.”

Aukward established a program at NAV-SEA — which includes NSWCDD and all NAVSEA warfare center divisions — with three goals: increase employment oppor-tunities for persons with disabilities; edu-cate the workforce to encourage a culture of full inclusion; and to ensure employees with disabilities have the resources they need to be fully successful.

“As we increase employment oppor-

tunities, we are educating our workforce to embrace a climate of full inclusion,” he said. “For our current workforce of persons with disabilities, NAVSEA of-fers a robust reasonable accommoda-tion process. Two examples are sign language interpreters and screen read-ers software.”

Aukward spent time speaking with employees individually about the NAV-SEA Disability Program at both events.

“We both agreed that more proactive

and interactive approaches need to be taken to ensure disabled veterans are aware of available accommodations, and that their disabilities do not limit them,” said Marietto Jeffries, NSWCDD Veterans Employment Special Empha-sis Program Manager. “I believe that my own disabilities do not mean that I am disabled or incapable of performing my job and that with reasonable accommo-dation I am capable and better equipped to succeed.”

Marietto Jeffries, NSWCDD Veterans Employment Special Emphasis Program Manager, explains his role in assisting veterans at Dahlgren to Sharon Rhone during the com-mand’s Disability Awareness Event and Health Fair at the University of Mary Washington, Dahlgren Campus, Oct. 29.

BASE HAPPENINGS

By Barbara Wagner, Staff Writer

If you have visited the Naval Branch Health Clinic (BHC) Indian Head re-cently then you have mostly likely met Lt. Cmdr. Cambrai Harty, the Clinic’s new department head and clinic manag-er. Harty joined the team at the BHC in August. Following her last duty at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Harty finds the small town appeal of Naval Support Facility (NSF) Indian Head to be exactly what the doctor ordered.

“Coming from more urban area to a smaller community has been a change, but I love it here,” Harty shared. “I had never heard of the base until the orders became available and I thought wow, this sounds like a really neat place.”

Harty visited the area prior to moving and appreciated the small town feel with easy access to city amenities. Small town appeal however wasn’t always a driving factor for Harty as her career as a naval nurse has progressed through the years.

Joining the Navy right out of college was a boon for Harty and she had no intention of making a career of it at the time.

“I had won a scholarship for nurses from the Navy and thought I would do my five [years] and get out,” Harty said.

Twelve more years have passed since that five year mark and Harty has en-joyed a 17-year career that has covered many bases and many specialties, but Operating Room (O.R.) nurse was the field Harty chose to specialize in.

“I had done maternal child and new-born when I was stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and primary care and health promotions during my time at Naval Submarine Base New Lon-don,” Harty said.

Looking for more adventure in her ca-reer, Harty returned to school to be certi-fied as an O.R. nurse.

“I knew that OR nurses deployed fre-quently and there was an element of adven-ture there that interested me,” Harty shared.

Harty spent the last 10 years of her career in nursing as an operating room nurse working at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Va. then on to Na-

tional Naval Medical Center in Bethesda Md. and finally back to Portsmouth. In Bethesda Harty spent many hours in the O.R. with patients who had recently re-turned from overseas deployments. The life-changing surgeries that she was a part of there not only affected the patient but Harty as well, who stated that those were some of the most rewarding experi-ences in her career.

“You could see it in their eyes when they were in recovery — the pain was already gone that they had been dealing with,” Harty shared. “It was such a re-warding experience.”

While she didn’t deploy overseas, Harty was able to experience many as-pects of surgical services that has been useful in her career now as she the only medical homeport Primary Care Nurse for NSF Indian Head’s clinic.

“It has worked out well when I have pa-tients who are scheduled for surgery be-cause I can give them a good idea of what to expect and what questions to ask,” Harty said. “It has been an interesting change coming back from O.R. services where we have one patient at a time and now I have hundreds.”

Harty enjoys being able to foster long term relationships as well with her pa-tients at NSF Indian Head.

“When you work the O.R. you have one patient who you see for a short period of time,” Harty shared. “At NSF Indian Head, I am able to establish long-term relation-ships with the patients and it’s wonderful to be able to get to know them.”

Not only has Harty come to enjoy the time she is able to devote to her patients, but has been thrilled to discover how well all of the different departments within the clinic and her fellow clinicians work together.

“Everyone here gets along well and there is a real sense of teamwork. I don’t think I have ever had the privilege of working with such a close-knit team who truly appreciates each other,” Harty said.

Another aspect that Harty feels is so critical to the success of the clinic is the level of communication that is fostered at the facility and she attributes a great deal of the success she has found there to that.

Harty and her family currently live in La Plata, and when not at the clinic she enjoys spending time with her husband and their four children.

“We love to go hiking in good weather as well as geo-caching and visiting the museums and battlefields,” Harty said. “My husband and I both enjoy history and the children are learning to appreci-ate it as well.”
