During the following 49 years, I worked together with naval architects and
engineers, using my mathematics background and their naval engineering

backgrounds, to design submarines for the DoD, and to ensure that the
submarines being designed by the architects and engineers met the DoD
requirements, in areas such as speed, stealth, and longevity. It was a

fascinating career, which I hope will impact the Naval community for many
years.

I am Ron Kelly and after a 27-year Air Force career and some contractor time,
I spent 11 years in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, supporting the DoD
Chief Information Officer. In my federal service time, I was a deputy director
and then director in the Information Technology area. Our team worked the

primary IT topics of moving DoD to the cloud, reducing the number of data
centers in the department, addressing how to integrate big data, assessing how
to leverage enterprise solutions, and developing DoD policies to foster smart

growth in technology.

For five years I served as the DoD lead for records management, working with
all Services, Agencies, and the National Archives.

I am Jan Edward Kolakowski a Veteran and former chemist with the
Department of the Army. I began my federal service career in 1977 as an active

duty Army Chemical Officer followed by 21 years of service in the Army
Reserves. I began my civil service career in 1981 at the Edgewood area of
Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland, serving in three different

organizations there.

During my tenure at the U.S. Army Office of the Program Manager for

Chemical Demilitarization, I was responsible for the development of chemical
agent monitoring instruments and analytical methods. These were used to
ensure worker safety and environmental protection at eight demilitarization
sites in the continental United States and at Johnston Atoll. I transferred to the

current U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), where I
performed research on the enzymatic hydrolysis of nerve agents as well as
analyses of chemical warfare agents and explosives. During my years in the

research lab at ECBC, I co-discovered a hot water neutralization method that
decomposes the chemical warfare agent mustard in an environmentally safe
manner. This method was soon developed into a procedure, which was used to
destroy the bulk mustard agent stockpile at APG at a significant cost savings.
