Changes to the exist- ing telework policy were prompted by the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010, officials said, and will help DOD achieve greater flex- ibility in managing its work- force. “Telework is a powerful tool, one that helps DOD maximize the agility it needs to operate in all kinds of conditions, while promot- ing workforce efficiency and quality of life,” Paige Hinkle- Bowles, deputy assistant sec- -Photo by MCSN Brian T.

  • Roswell Hawks Lamson (1838–1903) by Andrew Haugen Roswell Hawks Lamson Came of Age During a Transformative Period in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
    Roswell Hawks Lamson (1838–1903) By Andrew Haugen Roswell Hawks Lamson came of age during a transformative period in the mid-nineteenth century. An emigrant on the Oregon Trail when he was a boy, he was the first U.S. Naval Academy cadet accepted from Oregon, a hero in the Civil War, and a U.S. District Court clerk. Because of his heroism and meritorious service in the U.S. Navy, three ships of the destroyer class were named in his honor in the early twentieth century. Lamson was born in Burlington, Iowa, on March 29, 1838, one of four children of Jeremiah Lamson, a prosperous farmer, and Helen Hawks. Two of Lamson’s maternal great uncles had been president of the College of New Jersey (present-day Princeton University), and his mother instilled in him a lifelong passion for learning. In 1847, nine-year-old Lamson and his family left Iowa and headed west on the Oregon Trail. They settled in the mid-Willamette Valley near the hamlet of Willamina, where the Provisional Government deeded 640 acres to Jeremiah and Helen Lamson. They eventually acquired 2,500 acres, and Jeremiah served multiple terms in the Oregon territorial legislature and four years as a Yamhill County Judge. The Lamson Homestead is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original Gothic-style house and large barn are one of the few surviving examples in the Willamette Valley from the time period. Roswell and his siblings attended the Oregon Institute in Salem (present-day Willamette University). Within a year of his graduation in 1854, he joined the Second Washington Volunteers and fought in the Indian Wars.

  • Commanding Officers of Battleship Texas Albert Weston Grant 12
    Commanding Officers Of Battleship Texas Albert Weston Grant 12 March 14-10 June 15 As the first CO, taking command at commissioning, Grant was a Texas Plank Owner. He began his time in the Navy in sailing ships and ended his career in Texas, the most advanced ship of her time. During his lengthy and distinguished career he served in and commanded a wide array of naval vessels, watching the evolution of modern naval warfare and the United States becoming a world naval power. Along the way he was involved with bringing the modern innovation of electricity to naval vessels. He was given command of Texas as the Navy wanted its greatest officer to have command of its greatest new ship. Grant was commander when President Wilson sent her to Vera Cruz for her first deployment in the service of her nation. Carrying on the tradition of Grant’s great naval family, his great-great grandson is a naval officer today. John Hood 10 June 15-14 August 16 Hood’s career is more remembered as one of the finest instructors at the Naval Academy and in training vessels. Prior to gaining renown as a teacher, he had had more bad luck than good at sea. He was a junior officer serving in USS Kearsarge when she ran aground and sank on Rocandar Reef, and was in USS Maine when she blew up and sank in Havana Harbor. Later in his career while on the General Board he created a plan to expand Navy to complete 48 battleships by 1925.
