Carter Hails Iran’s Swift Return of Captured Sailors From DoD News

Ten Sailors who were detained by Iran, have safely returned to U.S. custody Wednesday. There are no indications that the Sailors were harmed during their brief detention.

The Sailors departed Farsi Island on Wednesday morning aboard the two Riverine Command Boats (RCB) that they had been operating when they lost contact with the U.S. Navy. The Sailors were later transferred ashore by U.S. Navy aircraft, while other Sailors took charge of the RCBs and continued transiting toward Bahrain, the boats’ original destination. The Navy will investigate the circumstances that led to the Sailors’ presence in Iran.

“I want to personally thank Secretary of State John Kerry for his diplomatic engagement with Iran to secure our Sailors’ swift return,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said in a statement on Wednesday. “Around the world, the U.S. Navy routinely provides assistance to foreign sailors in distress, and we appreciate the timely way in which this situation was resolved.”

The Pentagon has made a number of changes to the military decorations and awards program to ensure service members receive appropriate recognition of their actions, according to a statement released today.

The changes come after a long and deliberate review, a defense official told reporters in a Jan. 6 background briefing.

Then-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel initiated the review in 2014 to improve the military awards program by harnessing lessons learned from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the official said.

“He wanted to ensure that we’re appropriately recognizing our service members for their services, actions and sacrifices,” the defense official added.

The Pentagon statement points out key changes to the decorations and awards program: ● Implementation of new goals and processes to improve timeliness of the Medal of Honor and other valor awards; ● Standardization of the meaning and use of the Combat Distinguishing Device, or “V” device, as a valor-only device to ensure unambiguous and distinctive recognition for preeminent acts of combat valor; ● Creation of a new combat device, to be represented by a “C” worn on the relevant decoration, to distinctly recognize those service members PENTAGON

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

Today marks the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. His contributions to Human Rights in our Nation and the World are celebrated annually on the third Monday of January each year. My experiences overseas have provided countless examples of the influence American culture has on the rest of the world. No matter where you travel, American music, movies, television, and news are broadcast, enjoyed and in high demand. It is for this reason that Dr. King and other influential leaders in the Civil Rights Movement are so important to our Nation and our international standing and credibility. Their leadership not only changed the culture within the United States, but also led to many positive changes across the globe. Consider your own actions while stationed abroad. In some places the military operates, you could likely be the first American someone has ever met. Make an effort to learn the important customs and a few words of the local language before visiting a new country or city. Ask questions about the history and the contemporary culture. We often talk about conducting liberty as a mission, and as representatives of the United States and of the military abroad, we all need to cherish the opportunities to travel abroad and be respectful of cultures other than our own.

The change in seasons in Naples brings drastic changes to the weather and temperature. This past summer we saw record high temperatures across the area, and now in winter we are experiencing almost weekly rains highlighted by the occasional hail storm. The abundance of water in the atmosphere provides a healthy environment for the flourishing vegetation of southern Italy, but unfortunately the benefits of the environment don’t distinguish between the “good” flora and the mold. If you notice mold growing in your apartment or house the first step is to remove the mold with a common bleach water mixture, and then ensure the area is properly ventilated. Proper ventilation is the key to keeping a lid on mold. Mold grows in damp environments, so occasionally opening your windows to air out your apartment or house is a highly effective prevention method. By taking simple precautions, and preventative measures you can maintain a healthy, safe, and efficient household and installation. Of course, if your efforts are having little effect, reach out to housing for assistance. We are standing ready to assist ensuring our community is properly supported.

Enjoy the four-day weekend by easing back into 2016. Slow down, stay safe, and help me to wish a happy birthday to Martin Luther King Jr!

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Restoration of Pompeii’s House of Gladiators Begins The House of Gladiators in Pompeii’s collapsed into a heap of rubble in 2010, following a night of heavy rainfall. The collapse reached international concerns about the mismanagement of the UNESCO site. The gladiator domus was a building in which gladiators trained before battle, and it was a site that with its military-themed frescos was admired by visitors from all over the world. A few days ago, archaeologists and a team of experts started a first phase of an elaborate restoration of the domus.

Rugby Village Opens at Former NATO Base A Rugby village was opened in the former NATO headquarters in the West side of Naples. The initiative was taken by the Old Rugby Napoli composed by a group of former rugby players who self-financed the village.

They got concession of approximately 15,000 square meter of greenery and several buildings, aiming to bring more competitive athletes and teams in Naples and bring Neapolitans back in the top of Italian rugby. The village will work as a sport’s club open to all, with a rugby school where children and parents can share their passion for rugby.

Huge Avalanche Provides Close Call for Cervinia Residents The town of Cervinia, in the Italian Alps, was engulfed by a huge cloud of snow when a huge avalanche broke off from a nearby mountain. The avalanche produced a gigantic white cloud, which wafted over the town and blotted out the sun for several minutes. Residents of the town were really scared but fortunately no one was injured, and there was no damage to homes or roads. The event was captured in photos by ski staff.

Huge Christmas Bonus for Factory Workers Workers at an Italian factory in the northern Italy received checks for thousands of euros ($1.64 million) as

Christmas bonus by their boss who died in June. The founder of the factory that produces screw caps, synthetic corks and labels for wine and champagne bottles changed his will shortly before he passed away. The checks contained a touching thankyou letter with 2,000 euro for the new staff, 10,000 euro for the oldest staff, and some workers received more when he learned they were in need.

Mafia Boss Breaks Fireworks Ban During 100th Birthday Bash A Sicilian mafia boss celebrated his 100th birthday in his hometown in Cinisi, close to Palermo, by inviting many family and friends to a sumptuous banquet and fireworks display.

The celebrations angered the mayor not just because the mafioso was once one of the most feared mafia bosses in Sicily, and flaunting his freedom, but also because the birthday bash broke a strict ban on fireworks imposed across Italy during the festive period to limit air pollution.

THIS WEEK IN NAVY HISTORY

On Jan. 14, 1863, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles signed U.S. Navy General Order No. 4, the Emancipation Proclamation. Threeand-a-half months earlier, on Sept.

22, 1862, shortly after the Battle of Antietam – the first major battle of the Civil War to take place on Union soil and the bloodiest single-day in American history – President Abraham Lincoln gathered his cabinet to present the latest version of his Emancipation Proclamation.

Lincoln had been working on the document but had been advised to step cautiously and slowly regarding its public announcement.

Knowing the proclamation would have historic and far-reaching ramifications The proclamation was published that same day and it took effect Jan. 1, 1863, affirming the emancipation of slaves in all states still in rebellion.

SPOTLIGHT: HM2 ASHLEY E. PERRY Hospital Corpsman Second Class Ashley E. Perry hails from Greenville, Michigan. She graduated from Gran Valley State University in Michigan in 2011with a bachelor’s degree in Health Communications. Perry joined the Navy the same year, and arrived to U.S. Naval Hospital Naples in 2014.

She is a vital asset to the TRICARE Department. Her expertise, positive attitude and professional demeanor have significantly contributed to the provision of higher quality patient care. As one of three call center representatives, she significantly contributed to the hospital’s 98 percent customer satisfaction rate, a high standard within Navy Medicine.

Perry’s dedication to the command and the overall community have set an example for her peers. She enjoys traveling throughout Europe and she loves to spend time with her family. Her goals include commissioning to become a Surface Warfare Officer. Her favorite quote is from Peter Pan: “To live will be an awfully big adventure.”

Naval Legal Service Can Help With Taxes, Seeking Volunteers From NSA Regional Tax Assistance Centers

The Navy Tax Assistance Center program has evolved over time to best meet mission requirements while addressing practical manning and budgetary realities. In 2014, all Naval Legal Service Command (NLSC) sites fully transitioned into selfservice tax assistance centers.

In the past, NLSC sites were able to offer one-on-one tax preparation to customers on the basis of ample staff and support for this service. Over the past several years, both the number of volunteers available and the demand for full-service tax assistance have decreased. This is related to the introduction of alternate, low-cost online tax assistance preparation programs.

With the Navy’s self-service program, you are still able to electronically file your return and receive assistance from IRScertified tax personnel. In doing so, you

will also learn how to prepare taxes on your own using free, internet-based software. This will provide customers with better service and decreased wait times.

The Tax Assistance Centers are limited to the services provided by Military One Source and the IRS Free File Alliance on-line tax filing programs. Tax filers can access these services from any computer by visiting www.irs.gov or www.militaryonesource.mil and have access to trained tax consultants to help make informed decisions about their tax returns.

Region Legal Service Office will be happy to assist you when we open tax centers for self-service assistance in late January. Anyone interested in volunteering to assist service members and their families in income tax filing should contact Daniela Floco by calling Comm. 081-568-4576 or DSN 626-4576 or via email at daniela.flococaro@eu.navy.mil. Volunteers will receive free IRS training and a certificate upon completion.

PENTAGON from page 1 performing meritoriously under the most arduous combat conditions; ● Introduction of a “remote impacts” device, signified by an “R” to be worn on the relevant decoration, to recognize service members who use remote technology to directly impact combat operations; and ● Adoption of a common definition of Meritorious Service Under Combat Conditions to determine eligibility for personal combat awards Service Cross, Silver Star Review To “ensure that those service members who performed valorously were recognized at the appropriate level,” the defense official said that Defense Secretary Ash Carter has directed the military departments to review Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross, and Silver Star Medal recommendations since September 11, 2001, for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There are approximately 1,000 Silver Star and 100 service cross recommendations under review, the official said. While there is a possibility a medal could get upgraded, no service member will have the award downgraded, he said.

The defense official noted “unusual Medal of Honor awards trends,” as one reason for the review.

The first seven Medal of Honor awards for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan were posthumous, he said. There may have been a perception that only a fallen service member could receive the nation’s highest military award for valor, he said.

After the Defense Department clarified the “risk of life” portion for the Medal of Honor’s criteria in 2010, all 10 recipients have been living, he noted. The review is to ensure that no one deserving of a higher honor has been overlooked, the defense official said.

The results of the reviews are due to the secretary of defense on Sept. 30, 2017, he said.

The Pentagon statement points out key changes to the decorations and awards program: ● Implementation of new goals and processes to improve timeliness of the Medal of Honor and other valor awards; ● Standardization of the meaning and use of the Combat Distinguishing Device, or “V” device, as a valor-only device to ensure unambiguous and distinctive recognition for preeminent acts of combat valor; ● Creation of a new combat device, to be represented by a “C” worn on the relevant decoration, to distinctly recognize those service members performing meritoriously under the most arduous combat conditions; ● Introduction of a “remote impacts” device, signified by an “R” to be worn on the relevant decoration, to recognize service members who use remote technology to directly impact combat operations; and ● Adoption of a common definition of Meritorious Service Under Combat Conditions to determine eligibility for personal combat awards

ENERGY CONSERVATION Water Conservation From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Did you know you likely use between 80 to 100 gallons of water each day? Every single day. And that’s more than 29,000 gallons each year. The largest household use of water is flushing the toilet. We are literally flushing one of the earth’s most precious resources down the toilet.

And there is much you can do to conserve water. Every drop counts.

Whether you already have a low-flow toilet or not, be sure it is functioning properly and not leaking. Even though toilets are the biggest household user of water, they aren’t the only way you are wasting water in the bathroom. If you turn off the water while brushing your teeth, you can save up to eight gallons of water per day – that’s nearly 3,000 gallons per year.

The shower is another place with the potential to save a lot of water. Not only can you conserve water by installing a low-flow showerhead, but you can also save energy (and money) on water heating.

Some people also have their washer and dryer in their bathrooms, leaving yet another way to conserve water in this room of the house. When is it time to do laundry, be sure you are only washing full loads. If you do have to wash a small load, be sure to use the appropriate water level setting. Also, look for Energy Star clothes washers, which clean clothes using 35 percent less water and 20 percent less energy than standard appliances.

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended.

Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage.

All economy leases negotiated through the Housing office have a bottle water clause, which requires the landlord to provide bottled water.

Work with landlords to have any water holding tanks disinfected twice a year, and ensure your tap water is disconnected from non-permitted wells and connected only to the city water system.

Navy Language, Regional Expertise and Culture Tools Go Mobile From Center for Information Dominance Public Affairs

The Navy Center for Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture (CLREC) announced the launch of a mobile application for training products and working aids, January 6.

Hosted by Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Mobile, CLREC’s app allows authorized users to access language, regional expertise and culture (LREC) materials on the go.

“We know that today’s global Navy team is looking for ways to accelerate learning, and by leveraging JKO Mobile’s existing features, we’re able to make many of the resources CLREC has to offer available now whenever and wherever they’re needed,” Capt. Maureen Fox, commanding officer of the Center for Information Dominance, which oversees CLREC, said.

User-friendly materials for various countries on CLREC’s JKO Mobile app include operational cultural awareness training (OCAT) videos, culture cards and professional etiquette guides (PEG).

The OCATs, CLREC’s flagship products, are narrated videos providing in-depth information on a country’s history, language, social norms, culturally appropriate and taboo behaviors and more.

The culture cards are 12- or 18-panel printable pocket guides for a specific country summarizing much of the information presented in the corresponding OCAT. Most include a guide to each country’s naval rank structure and insignia. PEGs are onepage textual tutorials intended to improve cross-cultural interactions.

They focus on cultural norms, do’s and don’ts, and basic etiquette and phrases used when meeting and greeting, conducting business and socializing.

“So far, we have published 15 culture cards, 20 PEGs and 26 OCATs for a selection of countries throughout the world,” Chris Wise, director of CLREC, said.

“We expect to continue to add products weekly as they are developed, covering some 187 countries by midFebruary.”

For quicker access to LREC products and news, new users can visit the JKO website, which is CAC and password-enabled for authorized users, at http://jko.jten.mil/ clrec and create a new student CLREC profile.

USS Ross Sailor Named MDAA Missile Defender of the Year

By MC2 Veronica Mammina Defense Media Activity Public Affairs

Fire Controlman 1st Class Elizabeth Clark from Arleigh-Burke guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) was recognized as “Missile Defender of the Year” during a ceremony at the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA) annual ceremony in Alexandria, Virginia, January 8.

The event also included Defender of the Year winners from the Army, Air Force and Army National Guard who best exhibited leadership, personal effort and demonstrated a commitment to excellence in missile defense and their critical role in defending our country.

The award recognizes and honors the contributions of members of the military who man fully operational missile defense systems.

The defenders are active-duty officers, enlisted personnel, or reservists from each service branch who work within the missile defense system and are nominated by their peers and commanding officers.

Clark, from Deer Park, Washington, enlisted in the Navy in March 2010.

She served four years aboard Ross and over the last year, Clark’s efforts enabled the ship to support a wide range of missions in various environments.

Clark was the lead AN/SPY-1D 3D Radar, or, SPY technician aboard the ship and ensured scheduling and completion of all preventative and corrective maintenance. Her efforts have corrected casualty reports, avoided multiple others and helped to save the Navy approximately $78,950.

“I am very honored to have been selected for this achievement; it took a lot of long hours, on and off duty, and unwavering support from my fellow technicians and leadership,” Clark said. “We did this together and I am fortunate to have a great chain of command that recognizes our hard work and dedication to the mission and our Sailors.”

Her experience and system knowledge resulted in 100 percent mission readiness allowing Ross to track and execute its first Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) firing. It was due in part to Clark’s ability to operate and maintain the Aegis Combat Suite and SPY radar.

Clark was recently promoted to petty officer first class and has been recognized for excellent work as one of 6th Fleet’s 2M technicians for the 3rd quarter fiscal year 2015.

The Missile Defender of the Year award is an annual honor given by the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, a non-profit organization devoted to building a wide range of successful missile defense systems for the United States.

See Something? Say Something to Keep the Navy’s Network Guarded From The Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance Navy Cybersecurity Division (N2/N6F4)

The Department of Homeland Security’s “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign raises our awareness of terrorism indicators, and stresses the importance of reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement.

A similar approach is needed in the cyber domain to protect the Navy’s systems and networks. If you see something suspicious or unauthorized, say something, because vigilance and adherence to cybersecurity best practices protects the Navy’s operational capabilities.

According to the Navy Information Assurance Program, commanding officers, commanders, officers-incharge, and directors are responsible for the overall implementation of information assurance (now called cybersecurity) at the command level. They appoint information assurance managers (IAM) who report to the command on all cybersecurity matters.

Bottom line: Report suspicious or unauthorized cyber activity to your IAM, who should be identified in the plan of the day.

Now, what kind of activities should you report to your IAM? Topping the list of best practices is “Don’t Take the Bait,” which describes a form of email spoofing called “phishing” and how to recognize it. Phishing may involve sending unwanted e-mail messages, often with malicious content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients in the hopes that at least one “takes the bait.”

If you’re on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), report spam and suspected phishing emails by forwarding them as an attachment to nmci_spam@navy.mil, then delete them from your inbox and sent items folder. Doing so will help NMCI block spammers and phishers.

Also, report these emails to your IAM. For non-NMCI users, the best practice for possible phishing emails or emails that contain suspicious attachments is to delete them

as well as report them to your IAM. Unsolicited emails that request sensitive personal or organizational information should be reported to your IAM. Attackers with this information can hurt you personally by stealing your identity, threaten the operational security of the command, or make themselves appear legitimate to others so they can compromise the Navy’s cyber defenses.

Report any unauthorized devices connected to the network. Devices like thumb drives and cell phones may inadvertently contain software that allows an intruder inside the Navy’s defenses if they’re plugged into Navy computers or systems.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs, like some that share music files, should also be reported to your IAM because they can spread bad software inside the Navy’s network defenses.

If the answer to any of the below questions raised by the Department of Homeland Security’s Computer Emergency Response Team is “yes”, report the incident to your IAM.

● Suspicious questioning.

Are you aware of anyone attempting to gain information in person, by phone, mail, email or other means regarding the configuration or cybersecurity posture of the Navy’s network, websites, software or hardware? ● Unauthorized access.

Are you aware of anyone at empting (either failed or successful) to gain unauthorized access to systems or data? ● Unauthorized changes or additions. Has anyone made unauthorized changes to the Navy’s hardware or software without the knowl-

edge, instruction, or consent of the Information Technology Department? ● Unauthorized use. Are unauthorized people using Navy systems for storing or processing data? Are former Navy personnel still accessing Navy systems?

You are the target, but you are also the solution. Knowing the types of activities that could compromise the Navy’s cyber defenses or indicate malicious intent as well as who should be alerted will help protect our mission, systems, networks and data.

National Zoo’s Giant Panda Cub Bei Bei to Meet the Public Tomorrow From the Smithsonian Institute

The giant panda cub Bei Bei (BAYBAY) who was born this past summer will make his public debut tomorrow.

In the past three months since his birth, Bei Bei, who’s name means “precious, treasure,” has transformed from a pink hairless cub weighing about 5 ounces to a robust 12.5-pound blackand-white cub capable of crawling and sometimes walking on his own.

The zoo’s panda team has been monitoring him carefully since his birth because baby pandas often do not live long more than a few days. Now, Bei Bei is larger than both his older siblings Bao Bao (BOW-BOW) and Tai Shan (tieSHON) were at the same age.

Because Bei Bei has shown that he is sensitive to noise, the panda house has been closed since August to give he and his mother, Mei Ziang, quiet and time to bond.

The National Zoo, which is based at Washington, D.C., has been home to giant pandas for more than 30 years.

The first giant pandas to live at the

National Zoo were Hsing Hsing and Ling Ling in 1972. These rare giant pandas have come to symbolize the zoo’s efforts to celebrate, study and protect all endangered species and their habitats.

When it reopens, the panda house will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Although the panda house will once again receive visitors in the New Year, his mother, Mei Xiang, and Bei Bei will continue to have access to the den where Bei Bei was born. When they spend time in the den, they will only be visible on the panda cams.

On high visitation days, visitors will be allowed into the panda house in small groups.

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo was created by an Act of Congress in 1889 for “the advancement of science and the instruction and recreation of the people.” In 1890 it became a part of the Smithsonian Institution. Its mission is to provide leadership in animal care, science, education, and sustainability. About 1,800 individuals of 300 different species are in the animal collection.
