FROM: Captain Dianna WolfsonTO: PSNS & IMF All EmployeesSUBJ: ALL HANDS: For the People • About the People

Hello Team PSNS & IMF,

It has been my greatest honor to serve as your Shipyard Commander. It’s been a whirlwind; the last 18 months have flown by. And the journey, the journey we have been on together as ONE TEAM, that’s been the best part. It hasn’t been easy. There have been long days. There have been challenging days. But we’ve been a TEAM. Every step of the way, I have known that we were working on things together.

There have also been incredibly rewarding days that will forever be cherished. And it really shows, we can accomplish anything together.

As I said when I took command, what drives me above all else is the exhibiting of care and the expanding of opportunities for our people. For many years I’ve lived by the mantra, ‘If you take care of your people, they’ll take care of you.’ I think the ‘people piece’ of the business is so important because it’s the people who do the work. It’s the people who create change. It’s the people who drive results. You are those people. Thank you.

In a non-COVID environment, I would have invited every one of you to today’s Change of Command. It’s just that important to me. Since we can’t get there right now, I needed another way for you to understand the impact you have had on me, for you to understand how important our interactions and connections have been. I appreciate you. You are so valued. Thank you.

It’s why this program, and today’s Change of Command is dedicated to you. For the PEOPLE. About the PEOPLE. You are my number one.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your shipyard family. All of the memories, connections and experiences over the last 18 months are definitely coming with me. Thank you so very much for your support. ONE MISSION – ONE TEAM!

Forever your biggest fan, CAPT Dianna WolfsonCommanderPSNS & IMF & NWRMC

A time honored traditionNAVY ceremony

Vice Admiral William (Bill) Galinis is a native of Delray Beach, Florida. He is a 1983 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He holds a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Naval Post Graduate School.

Galinis’ sea duty assignments included Engineer Officer on board USS Roark (FF 1053) and damage control assistant on board USS Vreeland (FF 1068).

His Engineering Duty Officer tours include supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, New Orleans, where he worked on both new construction and repair projects including

assignment as the Amphibious Warfare Program Office (PMS 377) program manager’s representative for the Dock Landing Ship (LSD) Cargo Variant (CV) Shipbuilding Program; Board of Inspection and Survey, Surface Trials Board as damage control inspector; and a number of program office and staff positions including the Destroyer (DD 21) and Landing Platform Dock (LPD 17) Program Offices, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in the Requirements and Assessments Directorate, and in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Shipbuilding as the chief of staff.

Galinis’ command assignments include LPD 17 program manager; Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Gulf Coast; and as the commanding officer of the Norfolk Ship Support Activity.

Galinis’ flag assignments include commander, Navy Regional Maintenance Center, during which time he also assumed the duties of deputy commander for Surface Warfare, Naval Sea Systems Command; and most recently Program Executive Officer, Ships.

He has received various personal, unit, and service awards including three Navy Battle “E awards.

Galinis became the 45th commander of the Naval Sea Systems Command June 19, 2020. As NAVSEA commander, he oversees a global team responsible for the development, construction, delivery and maintenance of the Navy’s ships, submarines and systems.

Commander, Naval Sea Systems CommandVADM William J. Galinis

The change of command you witness today is not prescribed specifically by the U.S. Navy regulations, but rather is an honored product of the rich heritage of naval traditions. It is a custom wholly naval, without an equivalent counterpart in the Army or the Air Force. Customs have established that this ceremony be formal and impressive – designed to strengthen the respect for authority which is vital to any military organization. Parading all hands at quarters and public reading of official orders stems from those days when movement of mail and people were a very slow process. This procedure was designed to ensure only authorized officers held command and that all on board were aware of their legitimacy.

The heart of the ceremony is the formal reading of official orders by the relieving officer and the officer to be relieved. Command passes upon utterance by the relieving officer, “I relieve you, sir!” The officer being relieved responds, “I stand relieved!”

The strength and supremacy of today’s Navy stems in large measure from the observance of customs and traditions, each founded in need, each contributing its share to stability, combat effectiveness and smooth transfer of authority. This simple ceremony of passing authority and responsibility to yet another fine officer reflects the dedication of free men and women serving their nation proudly.

quality based on workforce feedback and placed more attention on the

Command Guiding Principles for deeper understanding,

visibility and focus.

March 2020: PSNS & IMF’s response to COVID-19 was immediate. More than 2,000 cleaning kits were distributed to amplify sanitation efforts, and nearly 1,000 gallons of hand-sanitizing solution was produced and distributed to work areas across the command and its detachments.

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility, the

Bremerton Metal Trades Council, and the International Federation of

Professional and Technical Engineers, Local 12, pledge to stand together,

shoulder-to-shoulder-to-shoulder, to ensure a shipyard work environment free

from discrimination and harassment. We make this pledge in the wake of recent public allegations concerning sexual

misconduct and mistreatment of some employees. This kind of conduct is

unacceptable, and wholly inconsistent with the shipyard’s Command Guiding

Principles. It is also contrary to Union and Navy tenets of treating people with

dignity and respect regardless of race, religion, color, sex (including sexual

orientation, gender identity, or gender expression), national origin, age, genetic

information (including family medical history) and disability. Discrimination

and harassment in the workplace will not be tolerated. Our shipyard must be

an organization in which all individuals have the opportunity to achieve their

highest potential in an environment free from discrimination and harassment.

Together, we will act to ensure a safe, respectful climate for every member of

the workforce.Shipyard employees have a number of options, formal and informal, to report

EEO violations, harassment or sexual assault. These include reporting to a

member of management, human resources, the shipyard Equal Employment

Opportunity Office, and the representatives available at either BMTC or IFPTE.

Together, we will ensure employees understand their rights with regard to

these options with no fear of reprisal, and we will perform and support a

thorough and unbiased review of every report. Each member of the PSNS & IMF team is important and deserves to serve the

nation in an atmosphere free from discrimination and harassment. Together we

will ensure that this is the case.

RespectEvery Individual.

The Employee Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Team is a group of bargaining unit employees formed in 2020 to provide input, perspective and feedback on preventing harassment and discrimination at PSNS & IMF.

The Command Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Team is comprised of command leaders formed in 2019 to raise awareness, educate and prevent harassment and discrimination.

Code 100i Administrative Investigations was established to independently investigate claims of harassment and discrimination in the workplace. The group is made up of five, full-time, trained, experienced investigators. Four full-time investigators were hired from outside the command. Code 100i has managed 159 cases since the office was established, 84 of which are closed. The Command Harassment Hotline has received 118 reports since it was stood up in October 2019.
