NATO Affirms Commitment to Kosovo, Western Balkans

By JFC Naples Public Affairs

The Allied Joint Force Command Naples commander visited his Kosovo Force commander in Northern Kosovo July 31 as part of an ongoing effort to stay in touch NATO troops and reassure citizens.

U.S. Navy Adm. James Foggo’s engagement with Italian Major General Salvatore Cuoci comes three weeks after NATO articulated its ongoing commitment to Kosovo and the Western Balkans at its July 11-12 Summit in Brussels, Belgium.

“NATO is resolutely invested in helping maintain security in the greater Southeastern European region and Western Balkans area,” Foggo said.

“KFOR is central to our efforts, and we aim to keep relations healthy and robust with neighboring senior national leaders through our NATO liaison offices in Belgrade, Sarajevo and Skopje.”

Foggo’s visit included a tour of Mitrovica’s Trepča mine, the area’s largest economic enterprise, currently producing lead, zinc and silver and employing some 2,000 people of Northern Kosovo’s 80,000-person population.

More than 90 percent of Northern Kosovo is ethnically Serbian, whereas nationwide Kosovo’s 1.9 million people are more than 90 percent ethnic Alban-

ian. While tensions between the two ethnicities have eased significantly since the end of the Kosovo War in 1999, they remain more acute in Kosovo’s northern area. Prominent Kosovo-Serb politician Oliver Ivanović was assassinated January 16 in Mitrovica, Northern Kosovo’s largest city in which ethnic rivalry remains an everyday reality.

While at NATO’s Camp Nothing Hill, home to troops who patrol Northern Kosovo, Foggo received an operational update from Cuoci’s staff and offered words of praise. He also addressed 18

Kosovar journalists.

“Our KFOR troops help provide a secure environment in Kosovo in order for the people here to enjoy the freedom they deserve to conduct business, raise families and increase their standard of living for the future,” Foggo said. “I’m proud of their contribution to Kosovo’s people, the region and our NATO alliance.”

NATO’s Kosovo Force remains its longest ongoing operation. It is headquartered out of capitol city Pristina, and comprises more than 4,000 troops from 28 nations.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

School Improvements have been ongoing all summer and as August begins, we’re getting closer to these being unveiled. I’m very excited to show off these updates that the NSA Naples team has been able to facilitate in conjunction with our partners at DoDEA. In addition to academic program and staff additions, the school will be announcing some new facilities upgrades that teachers, students, and parents will be returning to later this month. Upgrades which are scheduled to occur throughout the school year will also be announced. Our Naples DoDEA schools are an important fixture in this community and it’s important to us to help them maintain an environment of quality education and support for our kids. If you’re a parent, a student, or a member of the faculty, please keep an ear out for these exciting updates as they are released online, on the air, and in this newspaper.

Speaking of heading back to school, it’s time to hit the NEX and start getting those supplies together. The school is also putting on a Back to School Block Party on Friday, August 24th that promises music, food, and information booths set up to help you get ready for the school year. I strongly recommend bringing your family out for the day.

The event will be held in front of the school from 2 to 7 p.m.

August also brings an important local holiday period called “Ferragosto.” The Ferragosto holiday, a Catholic celebration of the Assumption of Mary, will begin on August 15th. For personnel who have not been here during August, you’ll probably notice a lot of local shops and restaurants closed down during the last half of the month since many Italians take extended vacations during this time. If you have local nationals in your shop, remember to take care of any work that requires their attention beforehand as they may be taking part in this cultural tradition. Even though many locals will be gone, this is a great opportunity to see some sights that are otherwise usually crowded. Many museums and cultural sites remain open during the holiday period, and many local towns will have parades and public processions. With less traffic on the roads and shorter lines at the local history museum, August is a great time to learn a little more about the country that is hosting us!

As always, thanks for reading the Panorama! For more information about NSA Naples, please follow us on Twitter @NSA_Naples and Facebook at facebook.com/NSANaples/ Buon fine settimana – and remain vigilant.

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Majority of Italians Take Summer Holiday This summer almost 57 percent of the Italian population will be going on holiday this summer, according to the hoteliers’ association Federalberghi. The association said that 26.5 million Italian adults and eight million children are going on summer holiday with a 0.5 percent increase with respect to the 2017 summer. August is the month of choice for most of Italians even if the number of people going on holiday in September is up too. The percentage of people choosing destinations in Italy has risen to 80.2 percent, compared to 78.6 percent last year, Federalberghi said.

Italian Government Cracking Down on Counterfeit Beach Vendors Italy’s interior minister ruled to crack down on beach sellers and ordered local police forces across Italy to enforce the law. Holidaymakers caught buying good from vendors on Italian beaches could face tickets up to €7,000. Vendors caught selling counterfeit products could face fines between €2,500 and €15,500 and have their merchandize seized. The intervention is called “the safe beaches summer 2018 plan.” Tourists who pay for massages, hair braids or tattoos on the beaches from unauthorized vendors could also risk fines if caught. Beach vendors sell mostly counterfeit brands and evade taxes.

The business association Confesercenti estimates that trade in counterfeit goods totals €22 billion a year in Italy, with tax authorities arguably losing out on billions in revenue.

Venice Banning Non-Traditional Watercraft The city of Venice has banned the use of non-traditional watercraft such as canoes, kayaks and paddleboards from the Grand Canal under a new measure. The ban doesn’t not include watercraft owned by residents of Venice’s historic center or by companies regulated by the local authority, including the gondolas or other tradi-

tional Venetian boats. Rubber dinghies and other inflatables are entirely banned, even if owned by Venetians. Canoes and similar boats were prohibited from use on the city’s main waterways during peak traffic hours, 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, but as of August 1st the ban was applied permanently in the area.

Famed Photographer’s Work on Display at Naples Airport The airport at Capodichino in Naples hosts an exhibition of photos by the Carbone photographic Naples archive. Riccardo Carbone was born in Naples in April 1897 and in the early 1920s he devoted himself to photography becoming the first accredited photojournalist in Naples.

His archive is composed of about 500 thousands prints and photos of the Naples’ history from the 1930s to the 1970s. The exhibition is the photo story of Capodichino airport through the arrivals and departures of VIPs like Peggy Crumming in 1948, General Eisenhower in 1952, Frank Sinatra in 1955 and the Harlem Globetrotters in 1966. The exhibition is held inside the departure terminal space of the airport.

Pompeii Hosts Exhibition ‘In Search of Stabia’ The Pompeii archaeological site hosts the exhibition ‘in search of Stabia’ offering an interesting journey through the history of the ancient Stabia with its necropolis consisting of about 300 tombs spread over an area of about 15,000 square meters.

The area dates back to the second half of the seventh century B.C. and the end of the third century B.C., representing a fundamental testimony of the oldest stable occupation of the territory and consequently a precious source of information on the inhabitants of the ancient cities that surrounded Pompeii. The objects on display, coming from the necropolis testify the presence in Campania of new people such as the Etruscans who, between the end of the seventh and the beginning of the sixth century A.C., triggered profound transformations in the territorial assets and settlement dynamics.

HISTORY: EXECUTIVE ORDER 9981 President Truman’s Fight For Civil Rights

On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, which officially ended racial segregation and discrimination in the military. Photo from National Archives From DoD News

On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, which officially ended racial segregation and discrimination in the military. Although it would take more than six years to fully implement, Truman’s order set in motion a wave of reforms for equality for racial minorities not only in the military, but in the federal workforce and public education, as well.

Truman was a student of history and he recognized that Black Soldiers had fought in every major U.S. war, including the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and both World Wars.

White House historian Michael R. Gardner said

Truman was an unlikely president to integrate the U.S. military.

Truman was born into a racist Missouri family; his grandparents owned slaves. He never went to college, and he grew up in a community where the use of racial epithets was commonplace. Truman was conditioned to be racist, Gardner added.

Truman went to France to fight in World War I as an Army captain in 1918.

During the last four months of the war, he witnessed brutal fighting, but also saw extraordinary bravery and sacrifice

by American Soldiers.

Truman discovered he was a natural leader of men and developed a deep, life-long devotion to the military.

On April 12, 1945, upon the death of President

Franklin D. Roosevelt, then-Vice President Truman became the 33rd president.

With the war’s end, a tidal wave of 12 million American veterans returned home, 880,000 of whom were AfricanAmerican. The return of these black veterans reenergized the Ku Klux Klan, and in many communities across America, the Klan was ready to greet the returning troops.

Little national attention was focused on this growing racial discord. In fact, 30 of the 48 states enforced some form of segregation, Gardner said.

On September 19, 1946, Truman met with civil rights officials who told him about an honorably discharged black sergeant arrested in Aiken, South Carolina, for disorderly conduct. During the course of Isaac Woodard’s overnight incarceration, the 27-year old decorated veteran was so savagely beaten that one of his eyes was gouged out and he was blinded in the other eye.

The state refused to prosecute the 215-pound white policeman who blinded Woodard. The president ordered his attorney general to step in, and the sheriff was indicted and tried in South Carolina federal court, only to go free after an all-white jury deliberated for 30 minutes.

For Truman, this incident was the defining moment of the civil rights

crusade that officially launched on December 5, 1946, when he issued an executive order for the nation’s first civil rights commission, Gardner said. “[Truman] went on to exert his moral leadership in order to achieve two fantastic executive orders to make our federal work force colorblind and to create opportunities of equality for every American in the Armed Forces,” Ken Hechler, a special assistant for Truman during his administration, said.

The next summer, Truman again broke political ground when he spoke at the final conference session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in June 1947.

“As Americans, we believe that every man should be free to live his life as he wishes,” Truman said, reflecting on lessons he had learned on the battlefield about honor and respect – regardless of creed or color.

“He should be limited only by his responsibility to his fellow countrymen.

If this freedom is to be more than a dream, each man must be guaranteed equality of opportunity.

The only limit to an American’s achievement should be his ability, his industry, and his character. These rewards for his effort should be determined only by those truly relevant qualities.”

“It was my honor to serve for four years on Harry Truman’s personal White House staff,” Hechler said. “Although he was brought up as a racist, he became a great champion of civil rights.”

“With less than 10 percent of Americans agreeing with civil rights, Truman was the type of president who refused to falter when he thought public opinion was wrong,” Hechler said.

“Truman always used to mention eight words from Thomas Jefferson,” he said. “Equal rights for all, special privileges for none.”

David S.C. Chu, former the defense undersecretary for personnel and readiness, credits Truman’s 1948 executive order that integrated the military with laying crucial groundwork for the eventual success of the all-volunteer force.

In addition to providing a broad talent base, diversity ensures that the military looks like the American population it defends, Chu said. That, in turn, helps build public confidence and trust in the institution.

“Ultimately, Truman’s executive order “provided the foundation for the U.S. military to become one of the United States’ most racially integrated institutions,” Chu said.

“What Truman really did was use the Armed Forces to change American society.”

SPOTLIGHT: ET2(SW) TRAVIS WEST ENERGY CONSERVATION

Volunteers are the backbone of our USO and we’re very proud to introduce all the men and women that allow our organization to multiply its outreach capabilities in the community. Meet ET2 (SW) Travis West from NCTS Naples.

West has been tangibly supporting our USO “Cup of Joe” on schedule, every Wednesday morning from 7 to 8 a.m. outside the Air Terminal Building at Capodichino.

To gear up for this event, West, starts his volunteer shift as early as 6 a.m. to make sure, his fellow service members get a good start to their day with a great dose of caffeine and a breakfast snack.

In less than three months, West has already accrued more than 20 hours of volunteer service. We are very privileged to have him as part of our volunteer committee.

West and the “USO Naples Coffee Crew” are highly energized individuals that are truly committed in spearheading this program, said

Energy Efficient Computers, Home Office Equipment and Electronics From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Michael Owens, Center Manager at the Naples USO. “I really enjoy volunteering with the USO,” he said. “It’s not always easy finding opportunities to volunteer that best fits into a busy schedule, but USO Naples has plenty to choose from.”

Whether it’s helping at a special event, greeting and cheering at homecomings, working the front desk or providing a listening ear, our volun-

teers are the reason service members know they can count on the USO. Volunteering has allowed me to meet so many new people and get to know my community,” West said. “Being able to give back is great.”

If you are interested in making a difference by volunteering with the USO, email USO Naples Area Director Sabrina Pullido at spullido@uso.org or call DSN 626-5713 or 6294903.

People have been working from home at least one day per week. While working at home saves money and time by cutting out commute, it creates a shift of increasing your home energy bills unless you utilize energy saving equipment for your office.

Seek equipment with an Energy Star label and it’s more widely available than you think. Most products will save you as much as 75%. Overall, Energy Star labeled products use about half the electricity of standard equipment.

Unplug electronics or use a smart strip. Use the switch to remove all power to the electronic. The aim is to avoid vampire loads. Appliances and electronics continually draw small amounts of power than they are switched off. Vampire loads occur in DVD players, TV’s, stereos, computers, and kitchen appliances. Unplug battery chargers when the batteries are fully charged.

Utilize rechargeable batteries for products such as cordless phone and digital cameras, etc. Studies show they are more cost effective than disposable ones. If you must use disposables, contact your trash removal company about safe disposal options.

Computers: Below are some general guidelines to help deciding to turn off your personal computer.

Even though there is a small surge in energy when a computer starts up, this energy is still less than the energy used when you leave your PC running for long periods of time.

Switching to low power mode during long periods of time not only saves energy but assists equipment run cooler and last longer.

It is a misconception that equipment lasts longer if it is never turned off. This comes from the days of older mainframe computers. Turn off the monitor if you aren’t using your PC. Turn off the CPU and monitor if you are not going to use it for more than two hours.

Porter Completes 5th FDNF Patrol

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Ford Williams

The Arleigh Burke-class guidedmissile destroyer USS Porter (DDG 78) returned to Naval Station Rota, Spain, following the completion of its fifth forward deployed naval forces (FDNF) patrol, July 27, 2018.

Porter departed Naval Station Rota April 2, 2018, to conduct naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

During the patrol, Porter completed maritime operations with the Truman Carrier Strike Group, engaged in interoperability training with Naval Special Warfare Unit 2, and participated in exercise Sea Breeze 2018.

Additionally, the ship hosted a total of 31 midshipmen from the Belgium, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. during different periods of the patrol.

In total, the ship interacted

with 20 countries over the course of patrol.

“I am very proud of team Porter for completing another successful patrol throughout the Baltic, Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and Black Sea areas of operation,” said Cmdr. John Tobin, commanding officer of Porter.

“We met every mission with precision and success.”

During the patrol, Porter completed port visits in Cherbourg, France; Helsinki, Finland; Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Greece; and Odessa, Ukraine.

NATO Stepping Forward on Training Mission to Iraq

By Jim Garamonei DoD News

NATO’s Allied Joint Force Command in Naples is stepping out smartly to establish the alliance training mission in Iraq, said Navy Adm. James Foggo, the commander of the Joint Force Command, in a recent interview.

Iraqi leaders asked the alliance to stand up the mission, and NATO heads of state approved the request during the Brussels Summit July 12.

The NATO effort will build on past NATO involvement in the country. In the past, seven personnel acted as facilitators for NATO efforts.

The training mission will have about 500 personnel in the nation to push forward.

A Canadian major general will be the commander in Iraq, Foggo said.

The Iraqi government does not want to make the same mistakes that led to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria taking over much of the country in 2014. Iraqi security forces had let their training lapse and ISIS was able to capture the western part of the nation and much of the north. The crown jewel in the ISIS effort was the capture of Mosul, the second-largest city in the country.

“Thankfully, we formed a coalition that went in and did some significant training and work with Iraqi forces who pushed them back,” Foggo said.

Fighting ISIS, Rebuilding This was an incredible effort on part of the Iraqis and coalition personnel, the admiral said. Iraqi security forces were holding off ISIS, while rebuilding for the long-term fight against the terrorist organization.

NATO was a part of that effort. At the time, NATO teams concentrated on triage and medical training for Iraqi forces heading to the field, showing them how to counter improvised explosive devices and conducting explosive ordnance disposal training. “This is significant because the amount of unexploded ordnance there, particularly in Mosul, is huge,” Foggo said.

The NATO trainers also helped train Iraqis in repair of old Russian equipment like T-72 tanks and BMPs – amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicles. “We did all that with a very small number of about seven people in Baghdad,” Foggo said. “They served as facilitators to bring in the training teams, the medical teams [and] the mechanics operating out of a couple forward operating areas in country.”

The new NATO mission formalizes the effort and commitment of the alliance.

The mission will also facilitate a bigger mission set.

The Iraqis have asked for more technical training, more advanced training and “they would also like to become much more proficient in the area explosive ord-

nance disposal,” he said.

‘It’s a Good Mission’ Foggo said a meeting he had recently in Iraq illustrates the need. He was visiting Besimayah Range in Iraq earlier this year and met with the Iraqi team tasked with going into Mosul to disarm the unexploded ordnance in the city.

“These guys went in and they got everything they could above ground, to pave the way for people to return their homes and they get back to rebuilding and reconstruction,” the admiral said.

“It’s a good mission,” he continued. “It’s one NATO embraces and we look forward to leading it here in the future.”

The troops themselves are dedicated and willing, Foggo said. At that meeting in Besimayah, he spoke

with Iraqi personnel who had served in Mosul. “The first thing that struck me was that they were very professional, stand-up young men who looked me in the eye,” he said. “One of the EOD specialists had been gassed. He had been disarming some sort of device that went off. It was chlorine gas and they got exposed. They were very proud of the fact that they were taken to an American field hospital to be treated.”

“I see them as being brave, very professional and very focused on the task that they have to rebuild their country now that they have succeeded in taking it back,” the admiral added.

The needs of Iraqi forces will change over time, Foggo noted. EOD may be the big need now, but something else may be more im-

portant next year. “As we get there and we provide a level of expertise that the NATO alliance can provide with all the different warfare specialties that we have and all the skill sets that we have, the alliance is a very powerful and robust and resource rich alliance,” the admiral said.

“We have people who understand how to maintain the infantry branch, maintain the armor corps, how to teach strategy and tactics, how to disarm bombs – we’re going to find things where there may be gaps or seams where the Iraqi armed forces might need help with,” he said..

“If it is in our mandate and under the rubric of training and nonkinetic activity … then we can slide into that and adapt to that fairly easily,” Foggo said.

Agency Begins Process of Identifying Korean War Remains those nations.

The 1950-1953 Korean War was incredibly violent, with 36,940 Americans killed and another 92,134 wounded. Some 7,699 American service members are listed as unaccounted-for from the conflict.

All Americans welcome the return of remains from the Korean War. United Nations Command returned 55 cases of remains from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,

also known as North Korea, to Osan Air Base, South Korea, July 27, 2018.

The July 27 honorable carry ceremony at Osan Air Base, South Korea, transferred 55 boxes of remains covered by the

United Nations flag. Now the work of identification begins.

These remains are presumed to be American, but many other nations fought in the Korean War, and it’s possible the remains may come from one of

Remains Examination The remains will be examined at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, and experts there will be responsible for identifying the remains. The agency is relatively new -coming into existence in 2015 after the merger of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office.

Many of the fallen service members died in North Korea and were buried by their comrades where they fell. Other U.S. service members were captured and placed in prisoner-of-war camps, where many succumbed to starvation, exposure and torture. Outside those camps are graves of Americans.

The DPAA Laboratory at

Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, is the first U.S. stop for the recently returned remains. The lab is the largest and most diverse skeletal identification laboratory in the world and is staffed by more than 30 anthropologists, archaeologists and forensic odonatologists, United Nations Command release.

Those experts will sort and examine the remains. In the past, North Korea turned over commingled remains.

The lab experts are painstaking in their examination. The age of the remains – at least 65 years old – will complicate the process. The North Koreans collected the remains, and U.S. investigators will have to do the examination without the forensic information they normally would have, such as the approximate place of the burial and the conditions around it.

Examination of dental charts and mitochondrial DNA will be key technologies used to identifying the remains, and the process may take years to complete, DoD officials said.

Whether purchasing an official Red Cross preparedness kit or assembling your own, your family’s kit should contain items that enable you to provide comfort for everyday scrapes or treat life-threatening emergencies. A standard preparedness kit should include the following items: □ Water – You and your family may be without water for days in the aftermath of a disaster. The Red Cross recommends that each person store one gallon of water per day for at least three days.

This supply will provide water for drinking as well as limited cleaning and cooking. □ Food – When preparing for a disaster, store at least three days of non-perishable, nutritious food that requires little or no water or cooking to prepare. Don’t forget to store a manual can opener with non-perishable food items. When assembling items, remember that you and your family may be without water, gas, or electricity for an unknown period of time. □ Medications – When assembling a preparedness kit for you and your family, remember that pharmacies may be closed in the wake of a disaster. Be sure to include a week’s supply of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Also keep a list of all medications and dosages, allergies, doctors’ names, and nearby hospitals. □ Radio – Your home, or even neighborhood, may lose power in the aftermath of a disaster. Keep a battery-powered or hand-crank radio in your kit. Don’t forget to include extra batteries in your kit to ensure you and your family stay informed throughout the course or aftermath of a disaster. □ First Aid Kit – Injuries are a common occurrence in a disaster.

Be prepared to treat yourself, your loved ones, and others who need help. □ Personal Documents – You and your family may be displaced after a disaster. Be prepared, ensuring you have all necessary records with you – ID, passport, birth certificate and insurance policies. Also keep an extra set of eye glasses, contact lenses, a cane, hearing aid batteries, or any other personal items you may need. □ Contact Info – Keep a list of family phone numbers and addresses as well as a copy of your out-of-area emergency contact card in your preparedness kit. Note that it is often easier to make a long-distance call rather than a local call after a disaster strikes. □ Map – Include a detailed map of the surrounding areas with highlighted evacuation routes. Following a disaster, roads may be closed and travel out of the affected area may not be possible. Become familiar with alternate routes to and from your home. □ Money – Following a disaster, banks and ATMs may be closed.

Keep small bills and change on hand to buy necessary supplies like water. □ Clothing – You and your family may be forced to evacuate your home in a hurry without time to pack accordingly. Keep an extra set of warm clothes and sturdy shoes in your preparedness kit to ensure you’re equipped to evacuate if needed. □ Sanitary Supplies – Include extra toilet paper, feminine supplies, personal hygiene products, bleach, and any other personal products you may need in your preparedness kit. □ Pet Supplies – Remember to include your pets in the plan.

Make sure to assemble things your pets will need during a disaster, like food, leashes, medicine, etc. □ Tools – Keep an adjustable wrench in your preparedness kit to turn off your gas if necessary. Other tools may include a manual can opener, plastic sheeting, garbage bags with ties, and duct tape.

USS Carney Departs Algiers, Algeria Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Ryan U. Kledzik

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) departed Algiers, Algeria, upon completing a scheduled port visit, July 31, 2018.

The ship’s crew had the opportunity to explore the country through tours of ancient roman ruins and in the capital city of Algiers, Sailors visited local landmarks and shops and tried cultural dishes such as etzai and sahlab.

Twenty Carney Sailors also volunteered to participate in a sports-day community relations project with the Algerians.

Throughout the event the Sailors lead games such as whiffle ball and kickball.

The day culminated in an awards presentation by John Desrocher, U.S. ambassador to Algeria.

“Community relations projects are a fantastic way to build relationships with the countries that we visit during our patrols,” Hull Maintenance Technician 1st Class Luis Aguiar said. “Diplomacy aside, the kids and Sailors all had a blast today.”

While in port Carney also hosted a shipboard reception attended by ambassador Desrocher, members of the Algerian mili-

tary and various other foreign dignitaries.

Cmdr. Tyson Young, Carney’s commanding officer, expressed his appreciation to Algiers community members for their welcoming spirit and hospitality to the crew while the ship is on patrol.

“Thank you for sharing your beautiful city with the crew of Carney,” Young said.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for us as the U.S. Navy to express our appreciation to Algeria, and to thank you for being a wonderful host nation and a steadfast and capable ally,” The ship’s patrol is a demonstration of the U.S. Navy’s continued commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships in the European and African region.

While on patrol, Carney will conduct naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe and Africa.

The longest – and most breathtaking lunar eclipse of this century occurred July 27, 2018, and was visible to millions of people throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. Photo by Ernesto Nobili

By Ernesto Nobili

July 27, 2018, will be remembered as the longest – and most breathtaking lunar eclipse of this century.

This outstanding and rare lunar eclipse was clearly visible to millions of people throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. The next total eclipse of the Moon with such a long duration will take place in the year 2448 or 430 years from now.

The spectacular phenomenon with the Earth circling between the sun and the moon, and casting its shadow on the face of the Moon is why it is known as a lunar eclipse. The entire eclipse took about four hours, with the total shadow time period lasting a record-breaking one hour, 43 minutes, which is about 40 minutes longer than the dark period for the average lunar eclipse.

This past Friday the Moon was at the farthest point of its apogee (orbit) from earth or about 252,277 miles away. The result was that the Earth’s shadow seemed to crawl slowly across the face of the Moon. However, during a lunar eclipse when the Moon is closer to the

15

Earth, the Earth’s shadow crosses the Moon much faster than last week’s eclipse.

Even more rare – and exciting – was that this lunar eclipse was what many people referred to as a “Blood Moon” because as Earth’s shadow passed over the Moon, it turned a deep red. This was due to the absorption of sunlight by the earth’s atmosphere.

Also making the eclipse even more unusual was a guest appearance Friday evening by the planet Mars, our closest planetary neighbor.

Ironically, Mars is commonly referred to as “The Red Planet.” While the Moon was orbiting far away, Mars was orbiting closer to the Earth (35.8 million miles) than it has since 2003.

As the Moon turned blood red throughout the eclipse, and the sky turned darker, the “The Red Planet” shined brighter in the night sky.

Adding to the singular rarity of last week’s eclipse is that Mars won’t be this close to the Earth again until 2035. The millions of people who were able to get a glimpse of the eclipse in person truly saw a fantastic and rare cosmic event.

NAVY RELEASES SURVEY

17

PAGE 1

The data gathered from the survey helps Navy track the trends and impact of personnel policies, not only on individual Sailors and their families, but also on Navy readiness.

Both men and women were surveyed to gather their opinions and concerns on Navy life and family issues.

Survey results show reasons for staying or leaving the Navy were similar for both women and men.

The 2018 survey was sent to a randomly selected group of 29,103 women and 49,800 men on active duty, representing 48 percent and 19 percent of the active duty force, respectively. The survey produced 12,682 useable responses, with a 16 percent response rate and a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Some of the key takeaways from participants of the 2018 survey include: ● Men and women have similar influencers to stay Navy, including job security/stability, pay/benefits, retirement and service to nation. Men and women have similar influencers to leave the service as well, including family impact, work/life balance and schedule predictability. ● Men and women find it difficult to balance a Navy career with a personal life, and policies intended to improve life/work balance need to be directed to all Sailors.

Forty-five percent of unmar-

ried men and 52 percent of unmarried women report being in the Navy has reduced the likelihood that they will get married, while 41 percent of men without children and 49 percent of women without children report that being in the Navy has reduced the likelihood that they will have or adopt children. ● Experiences and perceptions vary widely between men and women, and parents and non-parents. 55 percent of women think having children negatively impacts the careers of women, compared to only 26 percent of men. ● Women in the Navy are less likely than men to be married or have children. Of Sailors who are married, women are more likely to be in a dual-military relationship. ● Approximately 9 percent of women in the Navy are pregnant at any point in time, and 17 percent of women had a pregnancy in the past year. Approximately 76 percent of female officer and 47 percent of female enlisted pregnancies are planned. ● Although 25 percent of women were attached to a deployable unit when they found out they were pregnant, only 15 percent of these women were actually deployed at the time. ● Fifty-one percent of women who were transferred to a new command due to pregnancy felt valued by their new command, but only 34 percent were transferred to a career-enhancing position. ● The percentage of single parents in the Navy is increasing (10 percent of women and 1 percent of men), indicating that the Navy is becoming more single-parent friendly. ● Women are more likely than men to embark on the

adoption process without a partner and more likely to not complete the process due to work-related factors. ● Women are significantly less likely than their male peers to have children. The percentage of men and women in the Navy who are parents is relatively similar through age 28 (32 percent), at which time the percentage of female parents begins to significantly lag behind the percentage of male parents. Women’s parenthood rates later increase between the ages of 33 to 35 to 68 percent, compared to 75 percent for men of the same age. ● While most Sailors think Navy provides adequate information on how to access birth control, only 44 percent think there is enough information on birth control side effects and 36 percent think there is enough information on how to access emergency contraception. ● Of women who use birth control, 89 percent received enough to last the entire length of their most recent deployment, a slight increase from the 2016 survey. ● Although most women (54 percent) are satisfied with the quality of military OB/GYN care, only 48 percent report having easy access to OB/GYN care regardless of duty station, and only 22 percent have easy access while on shore duty. ● While 61 percent of Sailors report hearing their command’s leaders talk about work/life balance, only 47 percent see their command’s leaders demonstrate work/life balance.

Navy’s First Female Admiral, Alene Duerk, Passes Away An undated official portrait of Rear Adm. Alene B. Duerk. Duerk entered the Navy in January 1943 and initially served as a ward nurse at the Portsmouth and Bethesda naval hospitals. She was later assigned to the hospital ship USS Benevolence and deployed to the Pacific Theater during World War II in support of Adm. William Halsey’s Third Fleet. In May 1970, Duerk was appointed director of the Navy Nurse Corps. She became the first woman to attain flag rank in the U.S. Navy on June 1, 1972. Duerk was born in Defiance, Ohio, and retired from the Navy in 1975. U.S. Navy photo

Born in Defiance, Ohio, on March 29, 1920, she received Retired Rear Adm. Alene B. nursing training at the Toledo [Ohio] Hospital Duerk, the Navy’s first feSchool of Nursing, from male admiral, passed away which she earned her July 21, 2018. She was 98 diploma in 1941. From there, years old.

leadership.”

Her first tours of duty included ward nurse at Naval Hospital Portsmouth in Virginia, Naval Hospital Bethesda in Maryland, and sea service aboard the Navy hospital ship, USS Benevolence (AH 13), in 1945. While anchored off the coast of Eniwetok, Duerk and the crew of the Benevolence would attend to the sick and wounded being brought back from the Third Fleet’s operations against Japan.

Upon cessation of hostilities on Sept. 2, 1945, Duerk and the Benevolence crew took on the task of repatriating liberated Allied prisoners of war, an endeavor that solidified her commitment to nursing and patient care.

Years later, when asked about her service for the Library of Congress’ Veteran’s History Project, Duerk said, “The time I was aboard the hospital ship and we took the prisoners of war, that was something I will never forget . . . that was the most exciting experience of my whole career.”

Thereafter, Duerk was assigned to Naval Hospital Great Lakes until being released from active service in 1946.

In 1951, Duerk returned to active duty serving as a nursing instructor at the Naval Hospital Corps School in Portsmouth, Va. and later as inter-service education coordinator at the Naval Hospital Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

Her skills in ward management, surgical nursing and mentoring would be put to use over the next two decades while serving at hospitals in San Diego; and Yokosuka, Japan; at the Recruiting Station in Chicago; and in Washington, D.C. In May 1970, following assignments as assistant for Nurse Recruitment in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) and assistant head of Medical Placement Liaison (Nurse Corps) at the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Duerk was appointed director of the Navy Nurse Corps.

Over the next five years, Duerk provided direction for the Nurse Corps, updating policies affecting Navy Medicine and expanding the sphere of nursing into ambulatory care, anesthesia, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology.

Her selection to the rank of rear admiral was approved

by President Richard Nixon on April 26, 1972. The first woman to be selected for flag rank, she was advanced on June 1, 1972.

Rear Adm. Duerk retired in 1975, but remained a strong advocate for Navy nursing through the remainder of her life.

Duerk was awarded the Naval Reserve Medal, American Campaign Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal

with bronze star; World War II Victory Medal; Navy Occupation Service Medal, Asia Clasp; and the National Defense Service Medal with bronze star.

Duerk’s biography offers greater insight into her service, it can be found online at http://www.history.navy.mil/br owse-by-topic/diversity/ women-in-the-navy/first-female-flag-officer.html and she is also included in the Library of Congress Veteran’s History Project at http:// memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/bib/ loc.natlib.afc2001001.28852 The Naval History and Heritage Command, located at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage. It provides the knowledge foundation for the Navy by maintaining historically relevant resources and products that reflect the Navy’s unique and enduring contributions through our nation’s history, and supports the fleet by assisting with and delivering professional research, analysis, and interpretive services.

Lunar Eclipses and Solar Eclipses From National Aeronautics and Space Administration

An eclipse happens when a planet or a moon gets in the way of the sun’s light.

Here on Earth, we can experience two kinds of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. So, what’s the difference?

Solar Eclipse A solar eclipse happens when the moon gets in the way of the sun’s light and casts its shadow on Earth. That means during the day, the moon moves over the sun and it gets dark. Isn’t it strange that it gets dark in the middle of the day?

A total eclipse happens about every year and a half somewhere on Earth. A partial eclipse, when the moon doesn’t completely cover the sun, happens at least twice a year somewhere on Earth.

But not everyone experiences every solar eclipse.

Getting a chance to see a total solar eclipse is rare. The moon’s shadow on Earth isn’t very big, so only a small portion of places on Earth will see it. You have to be on the sunny side of the planet when it happens. You also have to be in the path of the moon’s shadow.

Caution! Never look directly at the sun, even for a second! It will damage your eyesight forever! To view a solar eclipse, use special solar viewing glasses. Get them from a camera store or online. Sunglasses do not work, even if you stack many of them together.

On average, the same spot on Earth only gets to see a solar eclipse for a few minutes about every 375 years!

Lunar Eclipse During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the sun’s light hitting the moon. That means that during the night, a full moon fades away as Earth’s shadow covers it up.

The moon can also look reddish because Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the other colors while it bends some sunlight toward the moon. Sunlight bending through the atmosphere and absorbing other colors is also why sunsets are orange and red.

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon is shining from all the sunrises and sunsets occurring on Earth!

Why don’t we have a lunar eclipse every month?

You might be wondering why we don’t have a lunar eclipse every month as the moon orbits Earth. It’s true that the moon goes around Earth every month, but it doesn’t always get in Earth’s shadow.

The moon’s path around Earth is tilted compared to Earth’s orbit around the sun.

The moon can be behind Earth but still get hit by light from the sun.

Because they don’t happen every month, a lunar eclipse is a special event.

Unlike solar eclipses, lots of people get to see each lunar eclipse. If you live on the nighttime half of Earth when the eclipse happens, you’ll be able to see it.

Remembering the Difference It’s easy to get these two types of eclipses mixed up. An easy way to remember the difference is in the name.

The name tells you what gets darker when the eclipse happens. In a solar eclipse, the sun gets darker. In a lunar eclipse, the moon gets darker.
