Direct Line USO Center Manager, Brian Coyle

C

iao Sigonella! My name is Brian Coyle and I am the new center manager for the United Service Organizations (USO) here in Sigonella. My wife Sherrie and I lived in Norfolk before moving to Sicily in late August.

We have been warmly welcomed and supported since arriving. In addition to myself, we have two other full-time staff and a number of dedicated volunteers without whom we could not provide the services we currently provide.

It is exciting to be here in Sicily delivering the USO mission to America’s service members and families! I am a retired U.S. Navy officer/pilot and started work with the USO nearly eleven years ago. It is an honor to be working for an organization that values service and seeks to serve others with hospitality and meaningful programs.

Many of you may know the USO from the more than 230 physical centers we have in 15 countries around the world, but you may not know that the USO began in 1941 as six different organizations. Even though we are chartered by the U.S. Congress and work in close partnership with the Department of Defense, the USO is not actually a part of the federal government or the DoD. We are a separate, nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen America’s military service members by keeping them (you!) connected to family, home and country, throughout your

service to the nation. We are the Force Behind the Forces®.

The USO center at NAS Sigonella recently opened in the fall of 2016 and is one of 20 locations in Europe. Located in the NAS II passenger terminal, the center always has hot coffee, drinks, and snacks for those visiting. Soon, popcorn will be added to the list! The center also has TVs and free WiFi to serve those PCSing to/ from Sigonella or transiting through on military flights.

In addition to supporting

“It is an honor to be working for an organization that values service and seeks to serve others with hospitality and meaningful programs.” traveling service members, a large part of our mission is serving as a hub for outreach programs on NAS I, NAS II, and Marinai. All USO events and programs can be found on our Facebook page, by calling our center at DSN 6246377 / COMM 095-86-6377, or by stopping by and visiting!

Every week we serve a free lunch out of the center, and monthly we host: Waffle Sunday on NAS I; spouse coffee with various themes,

typically on NAS I; a “Taste of Home” meal event for single and unaccompanied service members (usually at the NAS II Liberty Center); the Teddy Bear Club, a reading and crafts event for pre-school children and parents in Marinai; and a family game night in Umberto’s in Marinai.

On every holiday, USO staff and volunteers also deliver breakfast bags to watch standers on duty. Coming up this holiday season, we are also hosting a special holiday waffle brunch on Thanksgiving morning and in December, a limited seating lunch at a local winery, both for single and unaccompanied personnel.

We take efforts to continuously adapt to the needs and interest of our men and women in uniform and their families. To do that, we need and want input from you. Please let us know what we can do to better serve you!

Interactive Customer Evaluation Comment Regarding Galley:

I have a few concerns about the galley menu and hours. The orange chicken is extremely over-cooked and I recommend that it be removed from the cycle menu. In addition, for the deployed personnel on this base, we frequently are rushing to make chow in the later part of the service hours. In an effort to end their work day early, the staff continuously puts away all the food/fresh vegetable options/salad bar before the end of the mealtime. So we are rushing through the line to get the remnants of the salad bar (which they also stopped restocking). And the serving line has no food in any of the trays 30 minutes before the end of the meal.

Response:

Thank you for making suggestions for how to improve your dining experience at Ristorante Bella Etna. We take pride in food quality and customer service, and your feedback is important to consistently meeting our high standards.

Regarding your comments on preparation of orange chicken, galley staff recently provided refresher training on proper food preparation and serving techniques to ensure quality and freshness. In addition, the galley conducts comprehensive menu review boards on a quarterly basis.

This is a great opportunity to weigh in on desired menu changes and make any other galley recommendations.

Please ensure to review your NASSIG all hands emails for announcement of details for the next board. Food items that are identified by galley customers as having low approval are considered for removal from the menu cycle.

Additionally, galley staff has

internally addressed the issue of prematurely breaking down the salad bar. This is never okay, and is not a standard operating procedure for our galley. The food service officer and I have directed that service lines should include enough items to accommodate all of our customers towards the end of the meal period in the same way we afford the same service to our first patrons. You should never see the salad bar, beverage line, and dessert bars be broken down any earlier than 15 minutes after the final patron is admitted. This should allow customers to return to these stations during their meal, even if they arrive near the end of serving hours.

Should you experience any substandard food products or service during any of your future visits, please do not hesitate to reach out to the watch captain on duty. If you do not receive a sufficient response, feel free to speak directly with either the Leading Culinary Specialist, CSC Benton, at DSN 624-2585 or Prince.Benton@eu.navy.mil, or the Food Service Officer, CWO4 Delacruz at DSN 624-5739 or jonathan.delacruz@eu.navy.mil.

Comment Regarding Hair Salon: I have tried to get my child a haircut twice this week at the NAS I barber shop and both times, the barber was leaving for lunch. Not that big of deal if it was lunch time but this was at 3:25 p.m. Why doesn’t the salon have multiple barbers or close during normal lunch hours? Families go out of their way with child care, school, and work to run errands in the afternoon for a reason--to get things done. Closing for lunch at "ICE" cont’d on Page 11

Name: IT2 Soyoung Chon Department: CTF-67 Hometown: Los Angeles Naval Air Station Sigonella is made up of 37 different commands.

One such tenant command onboard is Commander, Task Force 67 (CTF-67). CTF-67’s mission is to provide professional and relevant support to U.S. Sixth Fleet, Naval Forces Europe, Naval Forces Africa, NATO and unified commanders in order to strengthen enduring and emerging partnerships and maintain our nation’s supremacy at sea.

One Sailor who has really stood out to her leadership over at CTF-67 is Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Soyoung Chon, from Los Angeles. Chon is part of the N6, or communications, department.

Every Sailor on this base has a particular type of job, and in some cases they end up working out of their specialties. At CTF-67, Chon’s job is a little different than what a normal IT would be doing,

especially those stationed on ships.

“When I was on a ship before coming here, I dealt with an enterprise of all the computers on board,” said Chon. “Also you deal with all the users, so you deal with everything from accounts, to making sure the security of the system is good to go.”

“Here I deal with deal with P-8 media,” said Chon. “So when the aircraft comes in, whatever data they capture, we are in charge of extracting from the aircraft. After we extract, it is passed on so other people can process the data.”

Chon said her reasoning for joining the military was to work on her college degree. While being enlisted in the Navy, she has since completed her bachelor’s degree in computer information sciences.

Chon has been in in the Navy for six years. Before coming to Sigonella, Chon was stationed on the

USS Nimitz out of Washington.

Everyone has different reason for what they like about being stationed overseas in Sicily.

“My favorite part about being stationed over here is definitely [the location],” said Chon.

“Being out here, it is very easy to travel anywhere in Europe.”

Chon has taken advantage of how easy and affordable it is to travel around Europe. She has visited Germany, France, Switzerland, London, and more.

Out of all the countries she has visited, Switzerland has been her favorite so far.

Although her time in the Navy is coming to an end, Chon plans on continuing on in the IT field using the degree that she received while in the Navy. So even though some Sailors decide not to make a career in the Navy, their experiences while serving can help persuade what type of career they will pursue afterwards.

By Jaymi Schap Selfless, dedicated and inspirational; these are only a few words that come to mind when describing our USO Sigonella volunteers. They work hard for us to provide quality programs to our Sigonella service members and families. USO Sigonella would not be able to carry out our mission if it was not for our many dedicated volunteers.

Meet Bob and Debra Shakespeare, our USO Sigonella Volunteers of the Quarter. You may recognize them from programs such as Tuesday Troop Lunch, Waffle Sunday, and the bi-weekly rotator flights we support.

Bob and Deb are from Seattle, Washington and are missionaries here in Sicily with the Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Volunteers since May 2019, they are the epitome of what we are looking for in our volunteers.

They have been an amazing addition to the USO Sigonella family. Ready to work hard with warm smiles on their faces, Bob and Deb help keep morale high at every event they help with.

Their mission when coming to Sicily was to help others, and they certainly have done so. In their short time at Sigonella, they have already volunteered a combined total of 162.5 hours of their time.

The Shakespeares are avid volunteers because they, too, have been the beneficiaries of USO programs.

“During a 40-year career in the

Army, we were the recipients of amazing kindnesses from the USO. We have lived a majority of our married life overseas,” they said. “It was always refreshing and be greeted by friendly USO staff and volunteers. It is now our opportunity to be on the other side of this great organization dedicated to assisting military men and women and their families. We love what we do and appreciate the opportunity to serve in a small way alongside the amazing fulltime staff here in Sigonella.”

Thank you again Bob and Deb for all you have done and continue to do for USO Sigonella!! Our volunteer workforce is the backbone of our organization and we couldn’t serve our mission without them.

SIGONELLA SEABEES ASSIST IN WORLD WAR II ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG

NAS Sigonella Public Affairs

The island of Sicily is beautiful and serene, with the majestic Mount Etna towering on the horizon, surrounded by farmland as far as the eye can see. It can be hard to imagine that 76 years ago, this bucolic landscape was the frontier of war between the Allied and Axis Forces.

The invasion of Sicily, also known as Operation Husky, was a critical step in the Allied Forces’ gaining a foothold in occupied Europe.

The operation was fought on two fronts—an amphibious assault along

Dr. Danielle Riebe, team leader from UIC, remarked on how important it is to dedicate so much time and effort to recovering even a single missing service member.

“It is important that we fulfill the promises that we made to these individuals when they signed up, and that we fulfill the promises we made to their family members who are still waiting to have that closure,” said Riebe. “It doesn’t matter if we’re looking for one person or 20.”

For this particular project, the archaeological work will continue well after this phase of the dig ends.

Until DPAA is confident that they’ve achieved fullest possible recovery of the missing service member, they will continue to come back to excavate.

For now, they will follow leads as they develop. In an example of a missing pilot, that means looking for remnants of the cockpit or ammunition, which indicates that

they may be getting close to the remains of the service member.

All recovered material will be sent to DPAA’s laboratory at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska for analysis.

There, forensic anthropologists analyze human remains and material evidence such as military uniforms, personal effects, and identification tags. Only when scientific techniques determine that the remains from an excavation site match the identity of the missing service member can they fully account for an MIA. James Meierhoff, UIC PhD candidate and the lead archaeologist for the project, was grateful to have the extra helping hands of the Seabee volunteers.

“All the help is good,” said Meierhoff. “And it is also good for our undergraduate students to interact with a wide variety of people, including the military. It’s great to have military personnel be part of this process.”

“And it’s good for the Seabees as well, to be able to interact with us and see what we’re able to do altogether,” added Riebe.

Builder Third Class Caleb Culberson, one of the Seabee volunteers and an avid World War II history buff, remarked on how sobering it was to participate in the excavation.

“You can listen to the stories all day, you can watch movies, read all these books, but you never actually know until you see it,” said Culberson. “This is what happened on this day to this person 76 years ago. It really sticks with you.”

While the work to send this particular service member home continues, one thing remains clear.

The huge amounts of time and resources required to bring this MIA home pales in comparison to the unending sacrifice that they paid to our country.

Child Seats With Alarms Now Compulsory in Italy

Sigonella Marines Help Catania Students Improve Their English Skills

From Independent Online

New legislation making alarmed child car seats compulsory was implemented in Italy after several cases of children being forgotten by parents inside cars. Passed by parliament in September 2018, the law entered into force this October. It amends Article 172 of the Italian Highway Code, making it mandatory for parents to use the special car seats for children up to the age of four. The anti-abandonment seats raise an electronic safety alarm if a child is left alone inside the car by hurried parents. A special national fund will be set up to subsidize 30 euros for each purchased device.

The new legislation was deemed necessary since a number of fatal incidents occurred across Italy in recent years. At least eight such cases were registered in the last 12 years, according to Ansa news agency, citing data provided by Italy’s Emergency Medical Service 118 in September.

The new rules apply to all Italian citizens and to foreigners visiting the country. Those not complying with the new law would receive a fine ranging from 81 to 324 euros and a five-point deduction from their driving license, in accordance with the points-based penalty system envisaged by the country’s highway code.

What Veterans Day is all About

By Adm. Michael Gilday

Across the nation this Veterans Day, we honor the service, sacrifice and commitment of those men and women who have worn the cloth of this great nation. If you believe as I do that there is a desire in every human heart to live in freedom, then this day is a special day.

For 244 years, American heroes have built a Navy that supports and defends the nation we are today -- a country that has been blessed with unprecedented freedom, security and prosperity. While our ships, submarines and aircraft are made of steel, it is the sailors who give our Navy its lifeblood.

Among the heroes we should remember this Veterans Day is Cmdr. Ernest Evans, who chose to sail USS Johnston into harm’s way during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippine Sea in 1944.

Despite the superior Japanese force of battleships, heavy cruisers and destroyers, Johnston’s actions ultimately crippled the Imperial Japanese Navy. Evans, who died in action, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

We should also remember sailors like Gunner’s Mate Third Class Paul Carr, who, during the same naval battle, manned the last operational gun mount aboard USS Samuel B. Roberts. Even after an explosion grievously wounded him, Carr continued in a desperate attempt to load and fire the last remaining rounds in the ship’s magazine, and was posthumously awarded the Silver Star.

The ferocity of the American attack at Leyte Gulf ultimately spelled the collapse of the Imperial Japanese Navy and cemented American naval supremacy in the Pacific during World War II. With the valiant efforts of Evans, Carr and countless others at Leyte Gulf, they showed that even the

smallest ships in the U.S. Navy could fight well above their weight class.

Today and every day, we honor the millions of sailors who have gone before us to ensure that, if called to fight, the U.S. Navy is so utterly dominant that we do not have to rely on sacrifices like the ones these heroic men made during World War II. While it is vitally important to remember our past, the Navy’s future is also on my mind.

Naval warfare is undergoing a rapid transition, which demands integration between each of our fleets. We are adopting this transition with urgency.

Our Navy will deliver a combat credible maritime force ready to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea. Together with the United States Marine Corps, our Navy is the bedrock of integrated American naval power.

From the Western Atlantic to the Arabian Gulf, and from the South China Sea to the Eastern Pacific, the U.S. Navy maintains a strong presence in waters around the world. With 291 ships, about 30% of which are underway today, and more than 3,700 airplanes, the Navy, which serves as America’s away team, is more important to national security than ever.

The Navy is America’s first line of defense and, in many respects, the protector of trade and travel across the world’s super highway. Waterways enable economic prosperity of nations, allowing the free flow of more than 90% of all trade and 99% of digital information. In effect, the backbone of the US economy floats on seawater. We facilitate this prosperity -- at home and abroad -- by ensuring peace, stability and security. That is what your Navy does and what we will

continue to do for generations to come.

Mission One for every sailor -uniformed and civilian, active and reserve -- must be the operational readiness of today’s Navy. We must also be committed to training, maintenance and modernization, which will ensure a ready Navy for tomorrow.

Today, the very nature of our operating environment requires shared common values and a collective approach to maritime security. And that makes steady, enduring relationships more important than ever. Our common naval experience with our allies and partners strengthens our ties and maintains the secure and orderly conditions that continue to deliver prosperity to all.

While there is much work to be done, the tenacity and initiative of our sailors will take us where we need to go -- and do so at top speed. This is what the U.S. military requires and our nation expects.

To America’s veterans, you have our utmost respect and gratitude for your sacrifice. We who serve in the Navy today pledge to carry on your legacy of service far into the future.

The Radio Frequency Spectrum, and Why it’s Important From Navy and Marine Corps Spectrum Office Europe and Africa

The radio frequency spectrum is the portion of electromagnetic energy which can be used by electronic devices to communicate wirelessly.

Common wireless devices and systems include hand-held “walkie-talkies,” remotely controlled toys, satellite television, AM/FM radio, telephones and cell phones, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers, baby monitors, and computers. All of these use the RF spectrum to connect one device to another using wireless communication.

Even though we cannot see, hear, or touch the RF spectrum, it is classified as a natural resource which belongs to each country within its sovereign borders. As with most natural resources, the RF spectrum has monetary value because it is finite— there is a limited amount to distribute and we cannot make more of it. If everyone could choose any frequency they want to use, eventually there would be nothing but interference between all the systems and users, with no actual communication happening.

In order to reduce the potential for interference, all governments have adopted the practice of dividing the RF spectrum into bands (e.g. 2MHz30MHz) and then designating a specific purpose for each band (e.g. cellular telephones). Each sovereign nation has their own way of allocating the RF Spectrum, and they don’t necessarily share commonality with the U.S. In the last few years, the explosion of commercial communication technologies has taxed spectrum resources, often resulting in sharing between military, government, and commercial organizations.

Domestic companies, international companies, and civil agencies are

putting pressure on their governments to allocate even more spectrum to commercial applications.

The ability of naval forces to support diverse operations and crises is largely dependent on their ability to communicate. Special forces, submarines, battle groups and Marines are often first to arrive in a theater and must rely on the RF spectrum to remain highly maneuverable, flexible, and tactically effective.

In accordance with international law, U.S. Forces are obligated to follow Host Nation procedures regarding the use of RF emitting equipment from these installations.

Refusal to comply with Host Nation regulations and policies have legal, political, and monetary ramifications.

Due to an increased use of technology by both non-U.S. militaries and local civilian entities near military bases we share with Host Nations, RF interference has increased. Host Nations are paying closer attention to U.S. Forces’ activities on these installations.

Units deploying to U.S. Navy operated facilities in Europe and Africa must notify their Service Frequency Management Office representatives to submit required frequency requests prior to the unit’s

arrival in theater. The Navy’s FMO is Navy and Marine Corps Spectrum Office Europe/Africa in Naples.

For personal use of devices by service members and their families, the user must also be aware that devices from the U.S. shipped in HHG may not be authorized in the country they moved to.

Each U.S. Navy operated facility has an Installation Spectrum Manager (ISM), who is able to assist U.S. Forces acquire authorizations by coordinating with the Host Nation Base Commander and NMCSO EUR/AF and answer questions. The Sigonella ISM is Mr. Matthew Arnold. Frequency requests that are not submitted to NMCSO EUR/AF prior to arrival at the local installation cannot be approved by the base ISM. Base ISMs are not permitted to authorize use of RF emitting equipment until proper coordination with the appropriate Host Nation has been completed.

Please do not degrade naval operations and agreements we have with our allies! If you have questions or would like to learn more, contact the Mr. Matthew Arnold, NAS Sigonella Installation Spectrum Manager, at DSN 624-2269 or the Navy and Marine Corps Spectrum Office Europe at 626-2004/3738/5354.
