Capt. Douglas Carpenter relieved Capt. Scott Gray to become the 33rd commanding officer of Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples during a change of command ceremony held in the base’s Capodichino Piazza, July 24. Rear Adm. John C. "Jack" Scorby Jr., commander of Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, presided over the ceremony and offered his appreciation for Gray’s leadership and highlighted his accomplishments while in command, including four prestigious awards for the installation. “Capt. Gray has done an absolutely incredible job,” said Scorby. “He’s overseen millions of dollars’ worth of renovations and construction projects all designed to

improve mission readiness and support the quality of life on our installations.” Scorby presented Gray with the Legion of Merit during the ceremony for his achievements. “When I arrived back in June of 2011, I quickly learned the phrase “see Naples and then die,” and frankly I quoted it in my change of command speech then, but I have to admit to you that I didn’t understand what it meant.” said Gray. “I get it now. The very essence of life is here in Naples. The food, the beauty, the rich culture, the chaos, but most importantly the people; it has been more than enough.” During his three years, renovations took place in the bachelor enlisted quarters, the food court was overhauled, base playgrounds received a facelift, a liberty center was created at the Support Site and an unmanned fitness cenwas opened at ter Capodichino. Sailors in Gaeta also saw their Navy Exchange double in size. “We have seen an improved quality of life for our families and single Sailors,” said Gray. Gray took time to thank those under his command and gave a special acknowledgement to the Italian employees who help maintain the stability in Naples. “Thanks to our dedicated civil servants and our local national employees, who serve as our continuity, keeping the base running while the military folks come and go,” said Gray. Scorby mentioned that seniority does not get you a command, but sustained superior performance does.

By MC2 Mike Wright, USS Mount Whitney Public Affairs Adm. Mark Ferguson, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, visited the U.S. 6th Fleet command and control ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) in Gaeta, July 25, for the first time since taking command. During an all-hands call with Sailors, Ferguson expressed his appreciation and gratitude for all the hard work they do on a daily basis. He also said he plans to spend more time with the crew in the near future. "The missions that Mount Whitney conducts are important,” said Ferguson. “I am proud of each and every one of you." While onboard, Ferguson toured department spaces, had a brief lunch with the ship’s commanding officer, Capt. Mark Colombo, and pinned two Sailors with their Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist pin. “It really made me feel good to have a four star admiral pin my Enlisted Surface Warfare qualification,” said Electronic Technician 3rd Class Rachel Stewart. “I will remember that moment for the rest of my life. It definitely gives me another story to talk with friends and family about.” Ferguson recently relieved Adm. Bruce Clingan as Commander, Allied Joint Force Command, Naples/ Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa. Mount Whitney, forward deployed to Gaeta, Italy,

operates with a combined crew of U.S. Navy Sailors and Military Sealift Command civil service mariners. The civil service mariners perform navigation, deck, engineering and supply service opera-

tions, while military personnel support communications, weapons systems and security. It is one of only two seaborne joint command platforms in the U.S. Navy, both of which are forward deployed.

Captain’s Corner

I’m now in to my second week on the job and I am learning daily about the issues that are important to the NSA Naples community, especially our families. For everyone who would like to participate in the beautification of our bases or the area, there are plenty of opportunities. The Second Class Petty Officer’s Association conducts a monthly base cleanup, which has led to a visible improvement on Support Site, as well as Capodichino. In addition, the NOSC is planning a much needed beautification project at the front gate of the support site – thank you for your initiative! With your donations, the Religious Ministries team consistently makes deliveries to worthy organization through the Feds Feed Families program and also takes part in other community relations projects. The First Classes in our community were out in force last week, holding Saturday’s Military Family Welcoming Carnival and upgrading the paint and interactive learning tools at the elementary school. If you or your organization has a good idea or wants to do something to better our community, let me know. During recent town halls with single Sailors, it was suggested we have a shuttle bus to Carney Park on the weekends. Well, we’re giving it a go for the remainder of the summer. If you’re new to the area and you don’t have a car yet or just don’t want to worry about driving, we now have a bus heading out from Capodichino and Support Site on the weekends. It departs Capo at 10:15, hits the Support Site at 10:30 a.m., and then arrives at Carney Park. The bus then departs Carney Park at 6 p.m. and makes stops again at the Support Site and Capo. MWR has offered some special deals at Carney Park in conjunction with this new service and this is a perfect opportunity to check out our unique recreational facility, which happens to sit in an extinct volcanic crater. We have rental cabins, a golf course, a pool, playgrounds, sports fields and hiking trails all available to you and your families. As I’ve been touring our facilities, I’ve seen a lot of great things. I’m really pleased with the condition of our installation. I recently visited our water treatment facility at Capodichino and got an in-depth brief on its capabilities. I was highly impressed by the cleanliness of the plant, which is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of the operators. The Capo water plant provides high-quality drinking water to the base, and that same high-quality drinking water is available for free to all service members and their families. The dispensers are located by the gas pumps outside the east parking garage, all you have to do is bring one (or several) five-gallon jugs. The hospital’s Preventative Medicine team checks the water at all of the NSA Naples bases several times per week, to make sure our water supply remains within quality standards. We rolled out our current recycling program at the Support Site a year ago. The color-coded recycling and waste bins were placed at each trash collection point with stickers describing what type of items go into each bin. From time to time we experience delays in trash pick-up. This issue is high on my priority list and I am meeting with the mayor of Gricignano to ensure the issue also remains high on his list of priorities. Community members are asked to do their part by not mixing the waste with recyclables and not throwing out large, bulky items. Instead, give the Housing trouble desk a call and they’ll come to your apartment and pick it up. It’s easy and will help keep bulky items from staying in a trash collection point for weeks. We also have an upgrade project in the works to make some of the trash pick-up points larger by expanding each point’s concrete pad and fence. This will allow for more of the recyclable and waste bins to be placed where they tend to fill up quicker. This should help keep the dumpsters from overflowing and help keep our base clean. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who take the time to pick up a stray piece of trash and put it where it belongs. There is always room for improvement, and I trust that everyone in the NSA Naples community will be a partner in our efforts.

Energy ‘Biggest Loser’ Competition

By Cmdr. Don Biadog Jr., NSA Naples Religious Ministries

From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

The Naples military community has donated more than 100,000 pounds of food so far to this year's Feds Feed Families campaign. The campaign began June 1 and will run through Aug. 27. Community members have been bringing non-perishable food items to the Support Site Chapel or Capodichino Chapel. Another way to contribute is by visiting the Support Site Commissary. The store has display bags ready for purchase for $24.72 each. Each grocery bag can feed a family of three for three to five days. Customers have the option to pick-up the bag(s), pay the cashier and leave the bag to the Commissary attendant. Volunteers for Feds Feed Families pick-up the bags and deliver them to needy families in the local community. Since the campaign began in 2009, Federal workers have donated and collected 24.1 million pounds of food and other non-perishable items to

support families across America. Last year we collected nearly 9 million pounds of food. "It is certainly exciting to see the tremendous work of so many Sailors, Marines, civilians and family members who have made noble work out of the food drive," King said. At the halfway point of this year's campaign in week six, the Feds Feed Families website stated the overall federal campaign stood at 525,000 pounds donated. Personnel wishing to donate can also make monetary donations to their local Chapel Religious Offerings Fund. "When money is donated, the contributions go to a Chapel ROF where it is then given directly to a local food pantry or food bank," said Cmdr. Phil King, supervisory chaplain for Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), who oversees donations. "For Feds Feed Families, $1.00 is calculated to buy approximately five pounds of food."

gain an edge - Prepare Now for advancement exam By MC3 Christopher Marshall, Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

Sailors looking to make the most of their career should prepare now for the September advancement exams, according to detailers here. Exams take place in March and September for Sailors aspiring to achieve the ranks of petty officer third class through petty officer first class. The chief petty officer exam occurs every year in January. The number of

Sailors who advance to the next rank fluctuates every cycle; it also varies between the different rates. "In preparation for your exam and after determining eligibility, you should print out the most current bibliography from your rate and read over it in its entirety," said Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jerry R. Horton, an HM detailer at Navy Personnel Command. "The bib tells you what you need to study." Sailors should start preparing

for the exam by navigating to the "Career Management" tab on Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) and clicking "Navy Advancement Center. Each rating's bibliographies can be found there and provide the list of information required to study for the exam. "Sailors need to ensure they have all required topics available to study, develop a plan and stick to the bib," said Horton. "Most importantly, designate time to study each day." Once Sailors know what resources and study materials are available to them, they can begin using websites such as Navy Personnel Command (NPC) (www.npc.navy.mil), the Navy Advancement site (www. navyadvancement.com), the Navy-wide Advancement Exam Prep (www.navybmr.com) and Google to find the documents listed on the bibs. If all else fails, they can turn to lead or assistant lead petty officer for help.

We have come to the end of our Biggest Loser competition. Naval Support Activity Naples was holding second place region wide, but the final numbers are being gathered today. The most recent electrical readings showed we had reduced consumption by 10 percent. C4I was in the top spot for energy reduction in Naples with a 17 percent reduction from last year’s readings. Unfortunately, some of our facilities saw an increase during the competition. The final readings for the Energy ‘Biggest Loser’ competition will be announced by the end of next week. Thank you to everyone in Naples who did their part. Shutting down computer monitors, turning off lights and maintaining AC boundaries definitely made a big dent in our energy reduction. We’ll find out next week which installation came away with the $50,000 prize money from Region.

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.

“If you read Capt. Carpenter’s bio, it’s clear he’s been given some of the toughest assignments and he’s performed brilliantly in all of them,” said Scorby. “That’s why he has my full confidence and that’s why I expect he will continue Naples’ outstanding record of excellence.” Carpenter previously served as the commanding officer of Sea Control Squadron (VS) 32 and the operations officer for USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). His most recent tour was at the Defense POW/MIA Office in Washington D.C. as the deputy director for Policy and Plans and chief of Accounting Policy. His mission there was to help recover Sailors, soldiers and Marines who have not yet returned home from our nation’s previous conflicts. “I spent six of my teenage years growing up in Europe, specifically on base in Rota, Spain,” said Carpenter. “I visited Naples many times during my stay in Rota and also a few times on deployments to the Mediterranean. Jen will confirm that a large part of my heart has always been tied to the culture, the people

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.

and the cuisine of southern Europe. I am very happy to be here, with my family, in Naples, Italy.” Carpenter said he was honored to lead the Naples team and told them he recognized that this is a team sport. “You have my attention, my support and my commitment,” said Carpenter.

Career Intermission Program 5 Things You Need to Know From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

Since the Navy's Career Intermission Program inception in 2009, 70 Sailors, men and women, officers and enlisted, across a variety of communities have taken advantage of the program to pursue personal and professional goals. Interested in participating? Here are five things you need to know to take advantage of the program: 1. Sailors use the Career Intermission Program for a variety of reasons, including to start a family or take care of family members, complete educational goals, or to achieve personal goals (such as hiking the Appalachian Trail or doing humanitarian aid work in a foreign country.) 2. Sailors receive many benefits during their time on the program to include retaining active duty health and dental care for themselves and their dependents, receiving a monthly stipend pay, and a permanent

change of station (PCS) to the location of your choice. Sailors are also eligible to use the G.I. Bill while participating in the program. 3. Sailors can choose to leave active duty for up to three years. For each month a Sailor takes off, two months are required to be served upon return to active duty. 4. During the intermission, Sailors are required to muster monthly via email, are exempt from mobilization, are exempt from promotion consideration and time on intermission is not counted for retirement eligibility. 5. To return to active duty, Sailors must meet all physical readiness conditions and security qualifications. A Sailor's date of rank/time in grade is adjusted to account for his or her intermission time and a "Non-Observed" (NOB) Fitness Report or Evaluation will be issued to cover the period of participation. For more information about the Career Intermission Program, visit http://www.publ i c . n a v y. m i l / b u p e r s - n p c / s u p p o r t / 2 1 s t _ Century_Sailor/tflw/Pages/CIPP.aspx.

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.

Improving the Navy’s Overseas Screening Process By Rear Adm. Dave Steindl, Commander Navy Personnel Command

For the past year, in all hands calls and on social media, CNP and other leaders have heard concerns from Sailors, families and commands about our overseas screening process. Individual issues ranged from inconsistencies between different homeports, to the timeline and the effect on Sailors’ ability to plan a move. COs and CMCs raised questions regarding what would happen when a Sailor or family didn’t screen; would the billet be suppressed, did the command have to start all over, would there be a manning gap? In direct response to this feedback we convened an overseas screening working group that included representations from the fleet, DC, Millington, the medical world and overseas commands. I know, to those of us who have served for many years, creating a working group sounds bureaucratic and not like something that would make life easier, I am happy

to report that this is not the case. The working group’s mission was to reduce manning gaps caused by overseas screening failures and most importantly–reduce the stress on Sailors and families. The group recommended two immediate initiatives, which CNP approved and will be pushed via NAVADMIN in early August. To provide more lead time, a Sailor who is identified for an overseas billet will receive a “Letter of Intent” from Navy Personnel Command, authorizing the Sailor to immediately begin the overseas screening process to include applying for passports and visas. We estimate this will give most Sailors a 90-day head start on overseas screening compared to current policy. It also means that overseas screenings will routinely be completed before orders are released. Having more time allows for more flexibility to work out unforeseen issues and will greatly ease the burden on you and family. To keep the process moving and to prevent delays, Sailors

must complete their overseas screening within 30 days of receiving the letter and families must complete screenings within 60 days. If Sailors don’t complete their screenings within that window, they will automatically be reassigned to a needs-of-the-Navy billet INCONUS. This may seem harsh, but setting this tripwire increases accountability for both the

Sailor and the detaching command, and adds additional time to identify a suitable replacement. The TYCOM and ISIC will be added to the overseas screening notification process to further increase visibility/accountability for command leadership. However, knowing that delays are sometimes unavoidable, waiver requests will certainly be considered on a case by case basis.

I recognize that these changes don’t solve all of our issues, but based on your feedback, I believe they provide the needed time and accountability that the current process lacks. Our personnel team will continue to work with the Fleet and BUMED to further improve the process. We will share information as more changes are made–please continue to provide feedback.

11 Single Sailors Explore Historic Baia’s Underwater Park Bureau Gets Service Members Debt Relief from Predatory Lender august 1, 2014

From Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Kair L. Keller, master diver and instructor at Centro Sub Campi Flegrei, gives safety instructions to Sailors on snorkeling and exploring the Portus Julius diving area, a 10 to 12-foot deep portion of the famed Parco Archeologico Sommerso Di Baia (Underwater Archeological Park). Twenty Single Sailors participated in the USO Naples’ sponsored promotional trip, July 26, to Parco Archeologico Sommerso Di Baia (Underwater Archeology Park of Baia) located in the Bay of Pozzuoli. Instituted as a protected marine area in 2002 by the Ministry of the Environment, the Underwater Archeology Park is a maritime environment with historical, archaeological, environmental and cultural significance. Baia was a Roman seaside town that is now underwater due to volcanic activity in the 16th century. (Photos by Cmdr. Don Biadog Jr.)

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and 13 state attorneys general obtained about $92 million in debt relief from Colfax Capital Corp. and Culver Capital LLC, also collectively known as "Rome Finance," for about 17,000 U.S. service members and other consumers. "No one who serves our country in uniform -- especially during a time of war -- should ever fall victim to predatory financial practices," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a statement, "and today's announcement is an important step in righting this wrong." Rome Finance lured consumers with the promise of no money down and instant financing, officials said, and then masked expensive finance charges by artificially inflating the disclosed price of the consumer goods being sold. The company also withheld information on billing statements and illegally collected on loans that were void. Rome Finance and two of its owners are permanently banned from consumer lending. "Rome Finance's business model was built on fleecing service members," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "Rome Finance lured service members in with the promise of instant financing on expensive electronics, then masked the finance charges with inflated prices in marketing materials and later withheld key information on monthly bills. Today, their long run of picking the pockets of our military has come to an ignominious end." Colfax, formerly known as Rome Finance Co. Inc., is a California consumer lending company, and Culver is its wholly owned subsidiary, formerly known as Rome Finance LLC. The companies offered credit to consumers purchasing computers, video game consoles, televisions or other products. These products were typically sold at mall kiosks near military bases, officials said, with the promise of instant financing with no money down. In some cases, they added, Rome Finance was the initial creditor, and in other cases, Rome Finance provided indirect financing by agreeing to buy the financing contracts from merchants who sold the goods. Service members and other consumers would fill out a credit application at the kiosk and, if approved, sign financing agreements that did not accurately disclose the amounts they would have to pay for that financing. These contracts generated millions for Rome Finance while weighing down consumers with expensive debt. Rome Finance has been the subject of previous state and federal enforcement actions, and Colfax is currently in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The CFPB and state attorneys general uncovered substantial evidence that Rome Finance's lending scheme violated several laws and that these illegal practices harmed about 17,000 consumers, officials said. In its consent order, CFPB found that Rome Finance: – Hid finance charges when marketing products: Rome Finance and merchants it worked with masked expensive finance charges by artificially inflating the disclosed price of the consumer goods being sold. As a result, they provided consumers with disclosures that had inaccurately low finance charges and annual percentage rates. Consumers received disclosures, for example, indicating the APR was 16 percent, when in fact the APR was 100 percent or more. That inaccurate information prevented consumers from making an informed decision about whether to take out credit. – Withheld required financial information from billing statements: Billing statements that Rome Finance sent to consumers failed to include certain disclosures required by law, such as the annual percentage rate, the balance that was subject to that interest rate, how that balance was determined, the closing date of the billing cycle, and the account balance on the closing date. – Deceptively, unfairly, and abusively collected debt that was not owed: Rome Finance was not licensed to provide consumer lending in any state and charged annual percentage rates higher than some states allowed, which voided or limited the collectable debt in some states under state lending law. Rome Finance deceived consumers in these states by failing to inform them that some or all of their debt was void or otherwise did not have to be repaid. As a result, many consumers were misled into thinking that they had to repay the entire loan balance and were making those payments when they did not have to. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act gives the CFPB authority to take action against institutions or individuals engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices. The Truth in Lending Act also authorizes the CFPB to take action against creditors who do not accurately disclose the cost of credit and other credit terms to consumers. To address these violations, the CFPB's consent order requires Rome Finance to: – Provide about $92 million in debt relief: All efforts to collect on any of the outstanding Rome Finance financing agreements must cease. Rome Finance still has about $60 million in contracts owed by about 12,000 consumers that it will no longer seek to collect. Separately, a liquidating trust created as part of Colfax's bankruptcy plan will stop collections on about $32 million owed by more than 5,000 consumers for Rome Finance's financing agreements. Service members may keep the merchandise they purchased. – Update credit reporting agencies and notify service members and other consumers of debt status: The Colfax Trustee must update the credit reporting agencies so that affected consumers are listed as having paid their debt. The Colfax Trustee must also notify all affected consumers that their debt will no longer be collected. – Rome Finance and their owners must cease consumer lending: Rome Finance and two of their owners, Ronald Wilson and William Collins, are permanently banned from conducting any business in the field of consumer lending. – Pay redress for hidden finance charges: Rome Finance was ordered to pay redress to compensate affected consumers for the amount of excess finance charges they paid. When Colfax's Trustee has complied with certain provisions of the consent order, the requirement to pay redress will be suspended, because Rome Finance has no ability to pay such redress. – Pay civil money penalty: For its inaccurate disclosures and its unfair, deceptive and abusive practices, Colfax, through its bankruptcy trustee, will make a $1 penalty payment to the CFPB's Civil Penalty d. The bureau is not assessing a larger penalty because Colfax is bankrupt. With Colfax making a payment to the Civil Penalty Fund, Rome Finance's victims may be eligible for relief from the Civil Penalty Fund in the future, although that determination has not yet been made, officials said. – Cooperate with service members and other consumers who seek to vacate judgments: The Colfax Trustee is required until the Colfax bankruptcy case is closed to cooperate in executing any documents presented to him to vacate or satisfy any judgments against consumers relating to the financing agreements.

ABH2 BRENT PAUCKE Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 2nd Class Brent Paucke was recently selected as the USO Volunteer of the Quarter for the European Region. The Jersey Shore, Pa. native has always made community service part of his life and “be the change” is his guiding motto. When there were MWR budget cuts to Single Sailor programming, he organized brainstorming sessions with fellow Sailors and USO Naples to find a solution. Through his relentless dedication and hard work, Paucke secured a USO programs field grant to host “Single Sailor Snorkeling Tours” and “Single Sailor Go-Karting.” Not only did Paucke create the events and secure the funding, but he encouraged participation, and acted as the group leader during each event as well. Paucke has represented the finest example of community service with the USO, fulfilling his regular volunteer duties on the USO Naples Committee, participating in meetings and in the execution of USO events, assisting with the operations at the USO in the Air Terminal, and also taking on special projects in support of the USO’s single Sailor programming. Over the past year he has relentlessly engaged fellow sailors to participate in events and worked hard towards creating new morale boosting opportunities. Besides his regular volunteer duties with the USO, he has also donated his time and energy with Boy Scout Troop 007 as an Assistant Scout Master and to his community by leading the base-enhancing efforts of the Naples Area Second Class Petty Officers Association as vice president. “A common scenario at the USO Capodichino Center when a question or issue arises is seeing Brent reach for his cell phone to find the solution,” said Sabrina Pullido, USO Naples area director. “He is kind, generous, collaborative, respectful, dedicated and puts needs of the troops before his own.”

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 081-5684639 for more information.
