Cultural Exchange Takes Place at Naples High School From the U.S. Consulate Public Affairs Section

Students and teachers from Naples secondary schools "Fonseca" and "Serra" were guests at the Naples American High School on the Support Site of U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples in Gricignano di Aversa, April 28, for a one-day cultural exchange. The Italians were all students of U.S. Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Emily Schafer and were "shadow students" for the day, accompanying an American partner to their normal classes and seeing an American education up close. The Fulbright Commission promotes academic ex-changes between Italy and the United States and began in 1948. It fosters cultural exchanges between Italy and the United States through scholarships in all fields: including sciences, humanities, social sciences and the arts. The Naples American High School’s Italian language teacher Roberta Pennasilico facilitated the exchange, which is one of many she does throughout the school year with high schools in the Campanian region. Under the aegis of the USItaly Fulbright Commission and in cooperation with the Italian Ministry of Education, Fulbright English Teaching

Italian Ambassador Attends Italian Sailors’ Winging Ceremony in US

Review what happened between May 7 and May 13. Page 5

Sailors Reminded to Verify PRIMS Data Page 4

Two Italian officers received an incredible honor, May 9, when their country's ambassador to the United States attended their Winging Ceremony at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Fla. Excellency Claudio His Bisogniero attended the ceremony in which Lt. j.g. Lorenzo Duranti and Lt. j.g. Matteo Ricasoli from the Italian navy and twelve American aviators were designated helicopter pilots. In addition to teaching 100 percent of the Navy, Marine and Coast Guard helicopter pilots, Training Air Wing 5 is currently training 44 foreign students from six different countries: Norway, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, India and France. Italy has the largest number of students at 14. The bond between the two countries was a point of emphasis as Bisogniero addressed the assembled families and guests of the newly minted pilots. "Together we will continue to work and train, side-by-side in a long-standing partnership for justice and freedom," Bisogniero stated. The two-day visit also encompassed a reception with all the Italian students at Naval Aviation Schools Command in Pensacola and an orientation detailing the training process all students go through in primary training with Training Air Wing 5, including time in a T-6B "Texan II" simulator. A former officer in the Italian army, Bisogniero entered the Italian Foreign Service in May 1978. He has served in embassies across the globe, including Beijing, China; Brussels, Belgium; and Washington D.C. prior to his appointment as the NATO Deputy Secretary General in 2007. see Italian Ambassador Page 4

Captain’s Corner

•

By Capt. Scott Gray NSA Commanding Officer

While it may be hard to believe, summer is rapidly approaching. With warming temperatures and longer days, we all have the opportunity to get out more and enjoy all that Southern Italy--and Europe--has to offer. This last weekend, one of our shipmates was doing just that, and was involved in a serious boating accident that left him lucky to be alive. Take this opportunity to consider summer safety and remember to employ your common sense and risk management. ORM should be part of your liberty plans. There are still safety stand-down sessions available if you haven’t been able to attend in recent days. Off-duty mishaps can be serious and deadly; think about safety and all you do and watch out for one another. Remember, if you are involved in an accident while on liberty, contact your command safety office as soon as possible. With warmer days, comes air conditioning on Support Site, which will be completely turned on in all units by May 20. If you are experiencing problems with your A/C, call the Housing trouble desk at DSN 626-4285/4286 for assistance. We’ll also see the pool at Support Site open next Saturday, May 24, and remain open from noon to 7 p.m. on weekends until the school year ends. Subsequently, pool hours on Support Site will be Friday to Tuesday, noon to 7 p.m. The Carney Park pool will open Friday, June 13, and will remain open each weekend (Friday through Sunday) all summer long, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The Carney Park pool will close at the start of the school year, Aug. 24. The Support Site pool will drop back to weekend-only hours on that date as well, remaining open on weekends through September as weather permits. Speaking of the school year ending, this is an excellent time to get the kids registered for the upcoming (2014-15) school year. While many families have already taken this step, timely registration is necessary to ensure we have appropriate staffing levels for this fall and ease the creation of school schedules. This weekend has many opportunities for the whole family with the NEX Customer Appreciation Days at Support Site. Kicking off the festivities tonight, there will be a cookout at 6 p.m. followed by the Jason Michael Carroll concert at the Central Park Amphitheater. Tomorrow and Sunday there will be performances by the Vans BMX Bike Team, Sideswipe, Solo Circus, plus an opportunity to meet distinguished Medal of Honor recipients and Mr. Daryl Hunter, professional wildlife photographer and writer. Over $12,000 in NEX gift cards will be given away, including one card valued at $2,000. Shirts, trips, televisions and more will also be distributed as prizes over the course of the weekend. Bring the family and enjoy a great event!

Roof Damage Discovered at Caserta Palace A large hole opened up in the roof of the 18th century Royal Bourbon Palace of Caserta, May 8, raising many complaints about the Air Force’s military presence there. The Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini said he reached a deal with Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti that the military would soon leave the palace. The Italian Air Force occupies only 20-25 percent of the palace, said Fanceschini.

University in Milan Announces Many Classes Taught in English Despite a court ruling, the dean of one of the most famous and oldest Italian univesities in Milan announced that 29 out of 36 degree courses will be taught in English language starting in the next academic year. In order to stay competitive at a global level, the dean said he had no choice but to adopt the English languarge, even if 150 professor at the university were against it, and despite it being approved by the university’s governing board. The opponent professor argued that it was wrong for an Italian public university to force staff and students to use English, and that teaching in a second language would diminish the learning quality.The univesity dean’s intention is to have international classes with many foreign students, and to use English as a way of attracting them.

Blue Flag Beaches Increase in Italy The Blue Flag award for clean water and pristine sands increased in Italy this year. In 2014, there were 269 Blue Flag beaches in a total of 140 municipalities nationwide. Liguria region, in Northwest Italy, has the 20 cleanest beaches, followed by Tuscany with 18 and the central

Marche region with 17. Sardinia lost a Blue Flag while Sicily gained two for a total of six Blue Flag beaches each. Blue Flag works with the United Nations’ Environment Program and analyzed beaches and marinas worldwide since 1987 to monitor quality and cleanliness.

‘Mozzarella King’ Arrested for Alleged Mafia Ties Police arrested one of Italy’s biggest producers of mozzarella cheese in Naples. His nickname “mozzarella king,” has been accused of dealing with the Camorra mafia clan since 1983. According to the investigation, he received financial support from a clan involved in extortion racket towards landowners in the Mondragone area, where his company is based. He was arrested in 2012 when he was accused of producing contaminated mozzarella cheese from a faulty machine. He was later released because a Naples court found unreliable evidence against him.

‘Cava Canem’ Mosaic vieWable in Pompeii Visitors in Pompeii were able to admire one of the most famous mosaics in the world known as the “Cava Canem,” a little picture of a dog with black fur in the act of snarling against bad guys who wanted to enter into the house. The mosaic is located at the entrance of the house called “Il poeta tragic,” which is right in front of the central spas in the ancient city.

(Photos by MCC Travis Simmons)

Sailors reminded to Verify PriMS data From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

With many semi-annual Physical Fitness Assessments (PFA) coming to an end, Navy officials remind Sailors to verify their results in the Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS). All commands are required to report their PFA data via PRIMS no later than 30 days after conducting the PFA in accordance with guidelines established in the Navy's Physical Readiness Program instruction, OPNAVINST 6110.1J. Each Sailor must have a record for both PFA cycles in the year, even if the record reflects non-participation status due to deployment,

individual augmentee, medical waiver, etc. Sailors need to verify their data within 60 days so that any corrections can be made by the Command Fitness Leader at the command level. After six months of a PFA completion, record changes can only be made by PRIMS administrators at Navy Personnel Command, which requires a letter of correction from the individual's commanding officer, on letter head, that grants authorization to make the change. For more information in PRIMS and physical readiness visit the Navy' Physical Readiness website: www.npc.navy.mil/support/21st_ Century_Sailor/physical/Pages/default2.aspx

Navy Honors Military Spouses in Support of Appreciation Day By MC1 Kiona Miller, Defense Media Activity

Every day, while more than 400,000 Sailors are supporting the Navy on shore-based installations and aboard ships deployed around the world, many spouses are supporting their loved ones from the homefront. As service members serve to protect the United States and fulfill the Navy’s mission, their husbands and wives make the same sacrifice to serve their spouse. As part of the May National Military Appreciation Month, six national observances were established to highlight contributions of military service members and their families. To highlight the sacrifices of military spouses, Military Spouse Appreciation Day is held annually the Friday before Mother's Day. "Military Spouse Appreciation Day was established to recognize and express gratitude for the contributions, service and sacrifices made by our nation's military spouses," said Matt Straughan, Family Readiness Program Director at Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC). The first Military Spouse Appreciation Day was recognized by President Ronald Reagan on May 23, 1984 to recognize the importance of military spouses' commitment to the readiness and well-being of military members. President Barack Obama released a message last year that called all military spouses the core of the Armed Forces. "As long as there have been courageous men and women willing to protect our Union and our ideals, there have been extraordinary spouses at their side - patriots in their own right who serve and sacrifice in ways many cannot fathom," said Obama. According to Straughan, it is important to let family members know their country is grateful for the sacrifices they made to ensure all Sailors can focus on the mission.

"Navy spouses endure lengthy deployments and frequent permanent change of station (PCS) moves," he said. "They must always remain flexible, ready and resilient, which can sometimes mean sacrificing their goals, dreams and careers." There are many challenges to military life where Navy spouses must acclimate themselves to unfamiliar customs. The Navy has specific traditions that date back to its establishment on October 13, 1775, which not only the Sailor must adjust to, but also the spouse. Deployments and relocation to an overseas duty station are just a few obstacles that Navy families endure throughout a Sailor's career. "Many spouses are also faced with the challenge of maintaining a career, which is portable and allows for them to grow, advance and maintain their licensure or certification as they move from state to state, or country to country," said Straughan. This year, the Navy's Fleet and Family Readiness (FFR) program will host events in celebration of Military Spouse Appreciation Day. The FFR program also offers resources to spouses throughout the year including deployment support training which helps families cope during extended deployments, Family Readiness Groups, which supports family members during times of personal crises, and Navy Ombudsman, who act as the middle man between family members and the service member's command. "There are a variety of resources available both on installations as well as in the local community," said Straughan. "Spouses should contact their local Fleet and Family Support Center or their command Ombudsman to find out what resources are available before a crisis occurs. Knowledge is power, and knowing where to go and who to turn to will alleviate stress before it becomes overwhelming." Straughan also expressed his gratitude on behalf of the CNIC Navy Fleet and Family Readiness team to all Navy spouses.

Neo Kit Preparations to Consider From NSA Naples Public Affairs

Non-combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) are conducted to evacuate civilian noncombatants and non-essential military personnel from locations in a foreign nation during time of endangerment to a designated safe haven. NEOs are normally conducted to evacuate United States citizens whose lives are in danger from a hostile environment or natural disaster. NEOs may also include the evacuation of U.S. military personnel and dependents, selected citizens of the host nation and third country nationals. NSA Naples will be holding a NEO exercise May 29 to familiarize key players with the process and to simulate all necessary tasks used during an actual shortnotice, ordered evacuation, including transportation, registration

and monitoring of evacuees. Below is a checklist from Fleet and Family Support Center for families to have in case of an actual NEO event. Along with a disaster preparedness kit for you and your family, consider having the following NEO kit items in your home and readily available. □ *ID Card □ *Passport □ *NEO Registration (NEO Census Form) □ *Authorization/Designation for Emergency Pay & Allowances, DD Form 1337 (for military) □ *Authorization for Emergency Evacuation Advance & Allotment Payments for DOD Civilian Employees, DD Form 2461 □ *Inventory of Household Goods, DD Form 1701 □ *Repatriation Processing Center Processing Sheet, DD

SECNAV Answers Questions from Around the Fleet From All Hands Magazine The Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus held a live television allhands call April 29 from the studios at the Defense Media Activity. During the event, he took questions from Sailors and Marines across the globe. Below is a selection of questions and his answers. Q: With the situation going on in Ukraine and Russia, do you have any vision on our presence having a greater impact on the actual conflict? A: What we do is we give options; we give the national leadership options. We sent an extra ship into the Black Sea. We have got additional Marines in Bulgaria and Romania as part of the Black Sea rotational force, and we're doing work with our allies in the Baltics and around Europe. Our job, as I said before, is to be not just at the right place at the right time, but the right place all the time so that our national leadership has those options. So that they can make a decision as to what our response is, what we do in this crisis or in any other sort of crisis. But that's what the Navy and Marine Corps give this country and that's why we are never a garrison force. That's why we're never at home for very long. That's why we are forward deployed. Q: What is the SECNAV's position concerning the national funding, and how does SECNAV see the next ten years affecting the proposed DOD budget? A: Great question. Number one, we were under sequester for about a year, and it's just a dumb, dumb way to cut. Everybody expects as we come out of two wars that we're going to spend less on defense, but the important thing is how do we do that? How do we do it in a smart way? How do we do it in a way that keeps the capabilities that we need? How do we do it in a way that keeps the tools for you that we need to have? So Congress fixed '14 and '15. Now they didn't get back up to where the president's budget was, but they gave us some stability for '14 and '15 so we can do some planning. Past '15 it's up in the air. Sequester is supposed to kick back in, in '16 going forward, but we're working very hard to make sure that we don't cut in this mindless way and just using this meat-axe approach. The National Defense Strategy of the United States the president announced in January of 2012 is a maritime strategy. ...For us to do that, we've got to keep a great Navy and a great Marine Corps. We've got to grow the fleet. We've got to make sure that we have that presence, and that's what one of my jobs is in terms of making sure that the budget we have reaches what we need to do. Now we're going to take some risk in some areas, but what we're going to focus on are things like building ships to make sure that we can maintain that presence. We're going to focus on the things that will try to make sure that the force, that you, have everything that you need to do [your jobs.] Looking out 10 years, if you can on the budget, we're growing the fleet, we're trying to keep faith with Sailors and Marines. Now the Marines are coming down in numbers. The Marines went up from 175,000 to 202,000 during the surge in Iraq. We're coming back down right now. The number for the Marines that we're drawing back down to is 182,000 Marines. Marines can do the job that we need to do with 182,000, and we can keep faith as long we're given enough time to do that. We can keep faith with Marines

and with their families in terms of how we get to that 182,000. The other thing though that's been hurting us in the budget, is these things called continuing resolutions. Congress doesn't pass a budget on time. We're supposed to have a budget by the first of October. It's been the spring in a lot of years. In fact I've been secretary for now almost five years, we have never had a budget on time since I've been secretary. And if you've got a continuing resolution going, you can't do things like put a ship in a shipyard because that's called a new start. You can't spend any more money on a program than you spent the year before, regardless of the need. And so, we've got to fix those two things - continuing resolutions and sequester - all the time, recognizing that the American people are demanding and should expect that we're going to spend less on defense, but that we will keep this country safe and we will come down. We will make these reductions in a smart way and not in just this "ham handed cut everything a certain percentage" way. Q: With the smaller military budget on the horizon, has there been any more discussion about replacing the current housing and food allowance programs, the BAH and BAS, with a standard locality allowance that we consolidate our dependent allowance, OHA and COLA together? And then, can you comment on how this might affect overseas military families with regard to our housing and living allowances? A: I don't know of any effort to move toward that one local allowance that you talked about, and that would be a DOD-wide thing. That wouldn't be just a Navy or just a Marine Corps doing it. That would be for the joint force; that would be for everybody. As I said, I don't know of any movement in that way. The things that we're doing, the things that have been recommended on things like pay and allowance, is to slow some of the growth. It's not to cut anybody. It's not to cut any pay. It's not to cut anybody's pay, it's not to cut anybody's allowances, but it is to slow the growth. Because military pay and allowances have grown 40 percent more than the private sector over the last decade or more, and we're getting to a point, and we're really at that point, where we're going to have to decide whether we are able to buy the tools that your husband and fellow Marines and fellow Sailors need to do the job, in order to get, because personnel costs are taking up such a large part of the budget. In the Marines, for example, 63, 64 percent of every dollar, so 63 cents of every dollar goes for personnel costs. It's not because the Marines are more expensive, in fact they're cheaper than any other service that we've got. It's just that we have gotten to that point where you've got to make a choice: either we're going to get a lot smaller, or we're not going to have the tools that we need, or we're going to slow the growth a little bit. Slow the growth on things like BAH, slow the growth on pay raises, slow the growth on some of the healthcare cost. Without doing all this, in the words that our CNO uses, there's quality of life. With pay and benefits and for families there's also quality of work. Do you have the things that you need to do your job? And do you have the training that you need to do that job for the country? And we've just got to keep that balance.

Q: What are some of the advantages and disadvantages about the eightmonth deployment, and if there are any plans to stabilize the deployment cycle in the future? A: The answer I just gave to the other question, we're trying to regularize deployments, and we're trying to make sure that we reward people who spend a lot of time at sea. We've increased career sea pay. So if you are at sea for three years cumulative, you're going to see a 25-percent increase in sea pay. If you're at sea for three years in a row, then you're going to get sea pay premium, and we're doubling that from 100 dollars a month to 200 dollars a month. If you're E-5 to E-9 and you've spent eight years in your career at sea, then anytime you're assigned to a ship, you're going to get a combination of those two. We're also looking at giving additional allowances if deployments go over a certain length. So if they go much over six months, we're looking at extra pay for Sailors and Marines that are at sea for that long because that is a really, really long time to be at sea. I was in the Navy more than 40 years ago, and six-month deployments then were pretty standard. And six months is not a short amount of time to be away from home, and so using this Optimized Fleet Response plan we're trying to make sure that our deployments are stable, ... that you can plan for it, that you and your families can plan for it, you know when you're going to be training, you know when you're going to go on deployment, that you know when you're going to come back. And that we reward people that go to sea and that go to sea a lot because we are the Navy, and that's our job is to be forward deployed. We are the Marines, and that's our job to be forward deployed and they're around the world and not just at a base back at home. But we understand the stress that puts on people, on their families, and we want to, number one: make it more certain, and number two: reward you for doing that. Q: Noticing the recent changes in policies and regulations, do you see anything being implemented for women with different hair types and texture, such as African-American and Hispanics, to be able to wear our hair in a more natural state? A: That's one of the things that we're looking at right now. We're looking at that across the services. Not just for African-American women, but for everybody. Does it make sense? What allows you to do your mission and you know, isn't it just a big old pain to keep up? And we're going to have the answers pretty soon. The Secretary of Defense has given that to every service to look at, and I've had a bunch of conversations with Sailors and Marines about this, and I hope that with some of your input we can get a good answer on this. Q: How will budget cuts affect retirement for active duty military? A: Well, Congress has got a commission looking at retirement. They're going to report - I think it's early next year. But the notion that everybody has, everybody in leadership, is that whatever retirement system you joined under, that's the retirement system you'll retire under. So that if any changes are made to retirement it'll be for people who joined after those changes are made. So I think the answer to your question is nothing. It won't change. It

won't change the system, it won't change the amounts of whatever retirement you would get in any other way. Q: What can be done to improve the joint travel for single regulations Sailors serving in OCONUS duty assignments? The JFTR rules seem to be inconsistent with how single Sailors and married Sailors are treated with to housing respect allowances and pay entitlements. For instance, married Sailors on OCONUS PCS orders get housing and dislocation allowances while single Sailors do not. A: That's one of those issues that we struggle with all the time. And the best answer I can give you is promise to go back and take a look at this particular instance. But I'll go back to my own experience. When I was in 45 years ago I was single, I got paid less, I got fewer allowances, I always found myself on duty on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. I had a family, too. I wasn't married, but I had parents and aunts and uncles and folks that I wanted to be with. It is always a pull and a tug because we want to make sure we take care of dependents. We want to make sure we take care of families, but we also want to make sure that we are fair in the way that we do it. I'll just take this and get back to you. Q: I read last week that the naval research laboratory has developed a method to create JP-5 equivalent fuel out of sea water. Is that something that is cost efficient in that not only will we produce an equivalent amount of fuel based on the energy we use, but is it something that we are going to have to overhaul all our aircraft and ships based on the new chemical composition? A: Well, it's still in the research phase. It's still in a lab right now. It would be pretty cool if we could do it. We seem to have a good bit of sea water to be able to do that. But, anyway, we've got some, I've been working on energy since the time I came here. One of the requirements that we have for new sources of energy is just what you were talking about, that they've got to be a drop-in fuel if we're going to use them across the fleet. If we're going to use them across our aircraft fleet, because we've got most of the fleet we're going to have for the next years and years, we've got most of the aircraft. And it would be just incredibly prohibitively expensive to change those engines. And that's why biofuels that we've now demonstrated with the great green fleet at RIMPAC two years ago, that we're beginning to buy now have got to be drop-in fuels, have to be cost competitive with fossil fuel, they can't take any land out of food production. Those are our requirements. It would be the same for any sort of new fuel,

unless it's sort of a niche fuel for something like unmanned underwater vehicles or something like that. Then we could design the vehicle around the fuels, but if we're putting in the whole fleet we've got the engines. And the great thing about the biofuel we've used so far as I said in the answer to previous question, the big news was no news. The engines didn't notice a difference, that's what's got to be the case. Q: What are we doing to help our Sailors and Marines transition in to the civilian world? A: We're trying to do a lot to help Sailors and Marines transition to the civilian world. Most people that come into the Navy and Marine Corps don't spend a career. They spend one tour, two tours, then they go back out and they do great things. We try to start fairly early, up to a year before your transition date, up to a year before your end of service date, take you through some of the benefits that will be there for you, take you through some of the processes that you'll need to go through. Give you some options in terms of which way you go, whether you go for more education or whether you go for a particular set of job skills or job trainings, so that you can move right in to the workforce. Or whether you want to become an entrepreneur, go out and do something, start a business, own your own, we've got these different tracks. We've also got an apprenticeship track that you want to do something, I'll take, for example, welding in a shipyard, it relates to something you've done before. We can put you in with an apprenticeship program so that as you come out you can spend some of your last service time actually in these programs, so that when your service ends you can move right in to a job. Employers - the other things that I and a lot of people are working on is making sure that employers get the skill that's coming out of the Navy and Marine Corps and all of our services - because you have got leadership skills, you have incredible technical skills. You've got the kind of skills that in terms of discipline, in terms of just life experience, that every employer ought to be looking for. And one of the things we've got to do, and one of the things I think we're beginning to do much better, is to hook those employers up with people coming out of the military so that they can see how good our Sailors and Marines are that are getting out so that we can see the skill and talent level that they bring to any job. And so that it's not a murky process, and we do that "latch up" before you get out of the military and not just sort of say, "Thanks, and see ya." But to have that good strong transition process in place, make sure that you avail yourself of all the things we've got out there that can help make that transition, and to help make you as much of a success in the civilian world that you were in the Navy or Marine Corps.

MCPoN Visits Navy's Premiere Leadership School

From Naval Support Activity Naples Public Affairs

By MC2 Martin L. Carey, Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens visited service members at the Senior Enlisted Academy and the Command Master Chief/Chief of the Boat course at Naval Station Newport where he discussed leadership development. "As chief petty officers, we must set and maintain the highest of standards," said Stevens. "As such, we must set the conditions for success by leading and setting the example and mentoring our sailors. And we must do so by treating them with dignity and respect." During his visit, MCPON talked about the importance of having an informed and trusted command triad. "A successful triad cannot fail and a dysfunctional triad cannot succeed," said Stevens. "The relationship that you have with the commanding officer and executive officer is critical to the command." MCPON later took a few

questions from the group. A Sailor asked about the negative impact on making board when first class petty officers do not participate in CPO 365 Phase One training. "I don't view CPO 365 Phase One or Two as optional. If done correct, it's year-round professional leadership development," said Stevens. Another Sailor asked MCPON what has been one of the most beneficial influences throughout his career. Stevens said that one of the things that has helped him the most to develop as a leader was focusing on his faith and

expanding his professional reading program. He said, "Wisdom is learned experience, and there is no greater thing in leadership than wisdom." As MCPON concluded his visit, he left the Sailors with a few words of advice. "If people gravitate toward you based on the way you carry yourself, conduct yourself and treat other people, then you have a positive influence as a leader," said Stevens. "Leadership is not about rank or age; it's about one’s ability to influence others in a positive way."

Navy Accepting STA-21 Applications By Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs

The Seaman-to-Admiral (STA-21) commissioning program, which provides an opportunity for qualified Sailors to receive college educations and Navy commissions, is soliciting applications for fiscal year 2015, as announced in NAVADMIN 101/14. The deadline for submitting application packages is July 1. "We are proud of the STA-21 program and the amazing Sailors who receive their commissions through it," said Capt. Bob Fink, acting commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC). "STA-21 officer candidates and their families benefit from the educational opportunity afforded them at our nation's premier universities. Completing their degree in 36 months, they remain on active duty with full pay and allowances, and the Navy pays up to $10,000 per year in support of their tuition, fees and books. STA-21 is truly an investment in the Navy as it shapes our officer corps of the future." According to the NAVADMIN released by Vice Adm. W. F. Moran, Chief of Navy Personnel, application packages must be postmarked on or before the July 1 deadline date. Early submission is preferred, as this will allow feedback to the Sailor for submission of missing or illegible documents. The deadline for submission of additional documentation to an applicant's package is Aug. 1. Before earning their degrees, STA-21 applicants must attend the Naval Science Institute (NSI) course at Officer Training Command (OTC), Naval Station Newport, R.I., prior to beginning college studies at an NROTC-affiliated college or university. STA-21/NSI is an eight-week course of intense officer preparation and indoctrination. Course enrollment is timed to allow college entrance during summer or fall semesters/quarters after selection. The NAVADMIN also said the following target options and core are open for application for the FY-15 selection board: Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), Surface Warfare/Information Professional (SWO/IP), Surface Warfare/ Oceanography (SWO/OCEANO), Nuclear, Special Warfare (SEAL), Explosive Ordnance

Disposal (EOD), Naval Flight Officer (NFO), Pilot, Civil Engineering Corps (CEC), and Nurse Corps. The following target options have zero select opportunity for FY-15: Human Resources (HR), Intelligence, Information Warfare, Medical Corps, Oceanography, Supply Corps, and Surface Warfare/Engineering Duty (SWO/ED). The STA-21 program benefits Sailors as well as the Navy. The average candidate has at least two years and in most cases more than four years of observed performance which assists in the process of selecting the most qualified Sailors to receive a commission. Additionally, STA-21 candidates are on average older than most midshipmen, bringing a maturity directly reflected in the more than 90 percent completion rate STA-21 program candidates boast. Many Sailors involved in the STA21 program already have some college credit, and some candidates finish ahead of the three years allotted to earn a degree. Reporting seniors who feel they have a Sailor with the potential to be selected by STA-21 should comment on their leadership skills and potential in their performance evaluations early in their career. These comments are highly regarded by the boards, even junior Sailors where their time on board, time in grade or peer ranking will not allow their evaluations to be fully consistent with the comments. A selection board is scheduled to convene in September and selectees will be announced via a NAVADMIN. Last year of the 469 applications received, only 310 were board eligible. A total of 50 applicants were selected to participate in the FY-14 STA-21 program. The NAVADMIN added that each year, packages are not considered due to non-qualifying SAT/ACT test scores, missing commanding officer endorsements, recent non-judicial punishments, missing physical fitness assessment (PFA) cycles, missing or illegible submission of documents, and not meeting program age or PFA requirements. Questions concerning this program should be directed to command career counselors or to the NSTC Officer Development directorate at (850) 452-9563. For more information about the STA-21 program, visit https://www.sta-21.navy.mil.

The Naples Public Health Evaluation (PHE) was an extensive effort to learn more about the potential environmental health risks present in the Campania region of Italy. The Navy established health protective policies based on the study’s findings to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their families, which includes bottled water advisories and health protective lease clauses. The PHE found the potential health risks for living off-base can be mitigated by following established risk-management actions. The enduring health protection policies are as follows: • Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. personnel living off base. • Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas, based on U.S. Navy and Italian environmental sampling data. In these zones, U.S. Navy personnel are not permitted to sign new rental home leases. • Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE website and the U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board. • Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses for private off-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service from a Navy-approved vendor. – Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permitted wells. Landlords must disconnect all non-permitted wells and provide proof of connection to the city water system or that the well is permitted. – Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holding tanks every six months. • The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designated Italian public health officials. Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy established health protective policies and took immediate action, when necessary, to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their families. The risk management analysis determined that many of the health protective policies established during Phase I and Phase II will continue, as well as new policies implemented to ensure continued health protection. The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets addressing commonly asked questions and a detailed timeline of study components, are available through a link on the Naval Support Activity Naples website: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have a concern about your specific health risk and how the study relates to you, please contact the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN: 629-6299 or commercial: 081-811-6299.

Navy Offers Sailors Limited Opportunity to Volunteer for Early Separation From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

Due to the excellent retention and outstanding recruiting success, the Navy is reinstating the Enlisted Early Transition Program (EETP), according to a message released May 8. According to NAVADMIN 103/14, EETP allows eligible Sailors in targeted ratings to apply for a voluntary early separation up to 24 months prior to their End of Obligated Service as Extended (EAOS). The new version of the program is ongoing, quota-controlled, and will help reduce the need for involuntary force management. Early separation will be granted on a firstcome, first-served basis. Available quotas are identified by rating, paygrade, year group and Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC). A list is available at h t t p : / / w w w . p u b l i c . n a v y. mil/bupers-npc/enlisted/community/ pages/eetp.aspx. Quotas will be reviewed periodically and updated as required.

Early Separation requests will not be approved for the following Sailors: * With existing Permanent Change of Station orders, * Identified to fill an Individual Augmentee assignment, * In nuclear ratings, * Assigned to a DoD area tour and have not completed the tour requirement, including overseas tour extension incentive programs for which a benefit has been received. Commanding officers will maintain final disapproval authority and do not need to forward requests they cannot support. Final approval authority rests with Navy Personnel Command, Performance Evaluation division, with positive commanding officer endorsement. For more information, read the message at www.npc.navy.mil or contact the Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center at 1-800-U-ASK-NPC (827-5672) or at uasknpc@ navy.mil.

In heaven, Colton met his miscarried sister whom no one ever had told him about and his great-grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born. He shared impossible-to-know details about each. Colton went on to describe the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us. Told by Colton's father often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is that heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and to be ready, there is a coming last battle.

With the mysterious entity now back in their hands, Tim and Kaylie soon find their hold on reality shattered by terrifying hallucinations, and realize, too late, that their childhood nightmare is beginning again.

Retirement Ceremony Held for ‘Mainstay’ who Began her RLSO Career in 1970 By Lt. Parker Carlisle, Region Legal Service Office

The Region Legal Service Office (RLSO) and the greater Navy community in Naples bid farewell to Concetta Henderson, April 29, at her retirement ceremony at the Capodichino Chapel following more than four decades of service. As an Italian local national, Henderson played a pivotal role assisting in obtaining Sojourner’s permits and visas, dealing with immigration issues, facilitating local marriage permits and acting as a liaison between the local government, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. government. Henderson first started working at Naval Support Activity Naples in 1970. Throughout her career, Henderson worked exclusively in the Legal office, assisting military members, families, civilians and those working in support of the mission and operations in Italy. Henderson worked for more than 15 commanding officers. She was the primary expert on Italian citizenship, foreign adoptions, marriages, immigration and was intimately involved in resolving complex international law issues under the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), related Italian-U.S. bilateral agreements and Italian law. Her professionalism provided a steadfast foundation of knowledge and experience within RLSO. Her efforts were recognized in numerous letters of commendation and appreciation shared from customers and area commands, as well as Civilian of the Quarter and Civilian of the Year designation over thirty times. In 1999, the Department of the Navy awarded Henderson the Meritorious Civilian Service Award for her contributions in working closely with the U.S. Embassy in Rome and the Italian government on a SOFA issue dealing with the hiring of dual Italian-U.S. nationals. The issue and outcome affected more than 350 employees in the Naples area. “What can you say about Connie; she was professional, dedicated, a people person and an excellent liaison,” said Silvana Palmese. “She was dedicated to helping people at all hours of the day.” A bedrock during Area Orientation, Henderson ensured new arrivals – military members, civilians, contractors and their families – received the Sojourner’s permit brief, and assisted with the documentation required for continued lawful presence in Italy. She was often the first local national that new arrivals encountered and was well-known for her ability to provide assistance with immigration issues and her willingness to respond as needed. “Connie’s legacy is the literally thousands of lives of service members, families and civilians that she has touched at Naples throughout the years,” said Capt. Scott Laurer, RLSO commanding officer. She has been described as a “mainstay” and “stalwart” of the Navy legal community in Naples. Henderson has become, as a former executive officer wrote, “part of the fabric of the Region Legal Service Office, the Judge Advocate General’s Corps and the Navy.” Henderson’s career was honored by the Naples community during the ceremony and she was presented with her second Meritorious Civilian Service Award, the second highest award to a civilian employee of the federal government. “I’ll miss my job; to relate to the people and solve problems was the best part,” said Henderson. “It doesn’t even feel like 44 years.” In keeping with tradition, her coworkers wished her “fair winds and following seas” and Questo è un “arrivederci,” non un addio.

JFC Naples hosts 36th Annual International Children's Festival at JFC Naples By Sgt. 1st Class VeShannah J. Lovelace, JFC Naples Public Affairs Office The Turkish element from Allied Joint Force Command Naples, hosted the 36th annual International Children’s Festival May 8, 2014 at JFC Naples headquarters in Lago Patria. This is an event that commemorates the founding of the national parliament of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 and marks the role of children in the country’s future. This cultural tradition is conducted in every children’s festival celebrated in Turkey. The day started with 24 children meeting and receiving gifts from the Deputy Commander of JFC Naples, Canadian Army Lt. Gen. Jonathan Vance as well as the Chief of Staff, Italian Army Lt. Gen. Leonardo di Marco. "Here at Joint Force Command Naples we are all happy to host you, to spend our day with you, to share with you what we do and your presence here today in my office is valuable,” said Lt. Gen. di Marco. Every year JFC Naples invites children from around the world to participate in the International Children's Day festivities. The children are encouraged to interact with peers from different cultures to build friendships and develop a deeper understanding of one another in order to establish the foundations of world peace in future. Following the meeting with the two generals, the students and JFC Naples staff relocated to the motor pool where the day’s festivities were begun. The ceremony opened with the Italian and Turkish national anthems followed by speeches from DCOM, Lt. Gen. Vance and the Turkish Senior

National Representative, Maj. Gen. Mujdat Uzun. "It’s a wonderful thing to have an event such as this on a military base right here at JFC Naples. I would like to thank all of the people responsible for putting this together and I’d like to welcome you to JFC Naples for this wonderful day to celebrate such an important event that is an annual commemoration of children,” said Lt. Gen. Vance. "Dear children, you are our future. You will be leading your nations and our world tomorrow. Please spread the spirit of brotherhood and love to all among us here today,” said Maj. Gen. Uzun. The festival centered on performances of dance, folk dance, singing and acting performed by children from 9 different schools from around Naples. Michele Massa, a 12-year-old from Naples, participated in the event for the first time and received a thunderous applause for his rendition of Bruno Mars’ When I Was Your Man. Massa, who was asked to sing the song he performed in a school talent show earlier in the year, said he was excited for the opportunity to participate in this event. "It is important because we can meet international children and people from other countries,” said Massa. Following the performances prizes ranging from bicycles to MP3 players were awarded to winners of the festival’s art competition. Finally, the event culminated with all the children joining together on stage singing “We Are the World.” The schools represented were British Forces School, Naples International School of Lago Patria, International School of Naples, Anglo Italian Montessori School, Teodoro Monticelli School, Scoula Anno Zero, Scoula Media Statale "G. Diano,” Ecole Francaise de Naples and The School of Mauro Leone.

Know Your Limits - Summer Safety Advice By MC3 Diana Quinlan, Navy Public Affairs Support Element West, Detachment Hawaii Sun, warm weather, beaches, mountains, volcanoes and tropical forests attract outdoors enthusiasts from all over the world and for Sailors visiting or living here it is especially important to maintain outdoor safety awareness. Cmdr. Leo Murphy, Pacific Fleet safety officer, shared his advice about some of the dangers associated with summer related recreational activities and how Sailors and their family members can avoid an unplanned hospital visit. "First, it should be understood that most recreational activities have a variable degree of inherent risks," said Murphy. "For example a family day at the beach may include sunburn, jellyfish stings, unexpected strong ocean currents and dehydration. Secondly, it should also be understood that recreation-related injuries are preventable. Home and recreation-related injuries affect people of all ages and physical abilities, and account for about a third of all injuryrelated emergency department visits. “The key to prevention is becoming aware of the risks beforehand and making risk management decisions to mitigate those risks,” said Murphy. “In the example mentioned above, risk decisions should include the routine use of sunscreen applied regularly, searching for online jellyfish warnings, obeying beach warning signs for ocean currents, and

taking plenty of water and providing beach shade. The best injury prevention tool is taking the time to seek out and conduct even the most basic research into the activity planned and then developing a risk-prevention strategy before venturing out." According to Murphy, one should plan carefully in advance. "All Navy service members are required to perform risk management assessments prior to engaging in a high-risk recreational activity," he said. "Examples may include, but are not limited to: skydiving; cliff diving; scuba diving; boating; motorcycle riding; and parasailing. Some activities become high-risk based upon individual circumstances such as hiking in mountainous or remote areas; surfing; bike riding on motorways and snorkeling.” Murphy also placed importance on knowing your limit and realizing that everyone has different skills levels depending on an activity or sport. "Injuries often seem like an inevitable part of the game, but you can do some things to help prevent them," said Murphy. "Make sure you have the proper skills and training before participating in any sport and remember to play at your level. Use the proper protective gear for the particular sport you are playing to lessen the chances of being injured. Minimize the chance of muscle strain or other soft-tissue injury by warming up before starting and cooling down afterward to slowly bring down your heart

rate and help fend off muscle soreness. Like many good things, exercise can also be risky-especially if it's been a while since you've worked up a sweat or if you have any health conditions that could increase your risk of injury, so it's important to know how to keep yourself safe and avoid potential problems before they happen." Murphy added that common sense should always apply. "For outdoor recreation, no matter what kinds of activities you choose, you can limit the number of injuries that occur and have a good and safe time," said Murphy. "The key is to make an honest assessment of yours and your family's ability and plan an activity accordingly. You need to know your limits, and stick with them. Understanding your limits and practicing risk management, with a good application of common sense, will go a long way to ensuring fun versus pain." The importance of making proper decisions and knowing personal limits when spending time outdoors and with friends or family is of paramount importance. Arrogance, peer pressure or inability to perceive potential danger may lead to disasters. For military members who want to enjoy many of the activities that summer has to offer, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) and USO provide many options, packages and information.

The U.S. Department of the Navy and Purdue University signed a statement of cooperation, May 8, agreeing to work together to convert up to half of the Navy and Marine Corps' energy consumption to alternative sources, including biofuels, by 2020. Purdue President Mitch Daniels and U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus signed the agreement during a ceremony in Stewart Center's Fowler Hall. The document spells out how the Big Ten research university will work with the Navy to help meet several alternative energy and environmental targets Mabus first laid out in 2009. "The Department of the Navy and Purdue have a deep interest in working together to reduce reliance on carbon-based fuels and energy sources," Mabus said. "Not only does this help decrease our dependence on fossil fuel, it makes our Navy and Marine Corps a better warfighting force." Mabus also noted the statement of cooperation will benefit more than just Purdue and the Department of the Navy. "By working together to achieve our energy goals, a partnership between the Navy and Purdue will help us maximize our reach, maintain our global presence, and make our Navy and Marine Corps more combat capable. In short, we as a Navy and we as a nation will have an edge. Teaming up with research centers is an important part of maintaining the strength of the partnership between our Navy and the American people," he said. Through this agreement, Purdue and the Navy and Marine Corps will examine efforts designed to improve energy conservation, renewable-energy generation and the implementation of energy-efficient technologies in all areas of application, Daniels said. "Together, the Navy and Purdue will focus on promoting more efficient production and refinement of advanced biofuels and sharing and discussing the results of testing and demonstration projects involving the certification of advanced alternative fuels in aviation and marine engines," Daniels said. "We also will pursue agricultural and other bio-based feedstocks that will ensure the most economically viable production of advanced alternative fuels." In addition, Purdue will establish the Purdue Military Research Initiative, an annual, no-cost graduate education for up to 10 active duty officers across all branches of the U.S. military. Areas of study will include renewable energy, alternative fuels and energy technologies. Mabus, who was appointed the 75th Secretary of the Navy in May 2009, immediately made energy and energy security a priority for the Department of the Navy and has directed the Navy and Marine Corps to change the way they use, produce and acquire energy. Upon assuming office, Mabus set a goal aimed at ensuring that, by no later than 2020, the Navy and Marine Corps would obtain at least 50 percent of their energy from alternative sources. He also pledged that by 2015, the Navy would cut in half the amount of petroleum used in its commercial vehicle fleet through phased adoption of hybrid, electric and flex-fuel vehicles. "Energy reform must inform and shape every decision we make during research, development and procurement of our systems," he said. "With a consolidated Navy and Marine Corps effort, we will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, reduce our tactical and strategic vulnerabilities, increase our combat capability, and make the Department of the Navy a government leader in energy reform." Mabus is responsible for an annual budget in excess of $170 billion and the leadership of almost 900,000 people. Purdue scientists and engineers are focused on developing future power sources, including methods that use solar and nuclear energy, clean-coal technology, bioenergy and wind turbines. Its Energy Center in Discovery Park is bringing together more than 1,000 faculty members from across academic disciplines, working with industry, foundations, and government agencies and laboratories to find ways to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and to develop new strategies for alternative fuels.

LA BELLEZZA / BEAUTY

Members of the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution (CAR), a youth organization which promotes patriotism for the United States, were able to spend an early April morning touring the U.S. Embassy in Rome and were able to briefly meet U.S. Ambassador John Phillips. The organization chartered its first Italian chapter in Rome in January. The 11 youth members of the newly formed chapter reside throughout the world, but all are descended from an American who provided service in the American Revolutionary War and applied for membership while living in Italy. The name of the Italian society is Amerigo Vespucci in recognition of the Italian cartographer for whom the Americas were named. The Pax Romana chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), also located in Rome, sponsored the establishment of the youth chapter. Some members are in Italy temporarily, such as Leah and Lauren Bushey, daughters of an American naval officer sta-

In 2009, while preparing for retirement, Chief Hospital Corpsman Beverly Gosch felt like she was losing it. Earlier in her career she had been sexually assaulted, but had chosen to "suck it up, and drive on." But now, after consecutive illnesses and the loss of yet another relationship, she knew something had to give. "I went to see the psychiatrist on base," said Gosch. "I was hoping he'd give me some magic pill to help me bring it all back together again." Instead, he encouraged Gosch to care for her spirit as well as her body. "I went to chapel that Sunday, and started talking with the chaplain soon after," said Gosch. "There was no preaching or lecturing. Just listening and praying and conversation that I could trust would not be shared with anyone or judged." The irony was that as an independent duty corpsman for her unit, she worked closely with her chaplain always suggesting to others that they speak with him - it was her nature to heal others, while neglecting herself. "Chaplains offer a safe place for someone to come and talk, particularly if they are not sure what they want to do next," said Rear Adm. Mark Tidd, chief of Navy chaplains. "We offer a listening ear as well as the resources that we bring as trained pastoral care experts to help them walk through what they're experiencing, and we walk with them through the recovery process. When somebody talks to a chaplain, what they say stays between them and the chaplain - so if you've experienced a sexual assault and if you're not sure what you want to do next, then a chaplain is a great person to talk to, because you can begin to sort out your experience in a completely confidential setting.” Chaplains are embedded in commands around the world and are available 24/7, and frequently are first responders when someone experiences a sexual assault or similar type of emergency. When someone she knew tried to commit suicide, Master Chief Mineman Tracey Hays needed to talk to someone. But who do you talk to who has resources, knows what you are dealing with as a Sailor, and can keep what is said private? Hays knew the answer - the chaplain. "Wherever chaplains go, we're very intentional about working together with all of the resources that are available at a particular command or a particular

Navy chaplains are a valuable resource

location, to bring to bear their abilities to support our people," said Tidd. "We work closely with response coordinators, victim advocates, the new deployed resiliency counselors that are onboard our large deck amphibs and our carriers, and we work with the victims' legal counsel program to make sure that people have the best legal advice so that they can make the best decision for them. We are very intentional about working as a team with medical personnel, behavioral health personnel and other people who are available to help people walk the path to wholeness and recovery." "The nice thing about command chaplains is that they are around," said Gosch. "They pop in and say 'Hi' and let you know they're there. Talking with the Chaps and renewing my relationship with God on my own, let me know I didn't have to do it all alone." "For some people it is hard to get past the fact that a chaplain is a religious leader," said retired Chief Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) Tricia Whitmire. "But they are also skilled [pastoral] counselors. And the discretion a chaplain can offer is a huge draw, especially in the information dominance community or other communities where much of what a Sailor does is classified. A chaplain can truly maintain confidentiality." "When you talk to a chaplain, that's a confidential disclosure; that's not a restricted report, it's not an unrestricted report," said Tidd. "It's something that stays between you and the chaplain. But the chaplain can help you walk through the process of deciding what kind of report to file, when you're ready to file a report, if you want to file a report. As you begin to recover the strength and resilience following an experience like this, a chaplain can walk with you and help you make some of those decisions, identify the resources that are available to you to help you sort that out." For one Sailor, who chose to remain anonymous, the chaplain was the only person who didn't make her feel like a criminal instead of a victim. "I was sexually assaulted, and at first did not speak with anyone in the military," she said. "I even kept my distance from Chaps because he was, after all, military. But he sought me out and wanted to hear my side of the story. I provided him proof of everything I was saying, and he listened. He didn't judge me. He became my candle; my glimmer of hope that everything would be ok." "As chaplains, we can provide somebody the opportunity to be in a safe place, to tell their story as they want to tell it, and we listen deeply to that person tell that story," said Tidd. "We walk with them as they walk the challenging road toward healing and wholeness and growth ... knowing that there's hope and there's healing. It takes courage and strength to walk that road, but our folks don't have to walk that road alone - we'll walk with them."

Obtaining your Sojourner Permit Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approval for entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signature is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT. As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office (RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L. Contact Tiziana Petrarca, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-568-4639 for more information.
