ties; and the integrity to make good on our solemn promise to be able to defend our nations,” said Clingan. Clingan also commented on the dedication of the military and civilian personnel from 20 different countries who work at JFC. “Each of the nations represented owe an immense debt of gratitude to these consummate professionals, who ultimately form the foun-

dation of our collective military strength,” said Clingan. “Their exceptional contributions have inspired me every day." Clingan will retire this fall after 37 years of naval service. Ferguson, who previously served as Vice Chief of Naval Operations in Wash. D.C., addressed his and NATO’s continued commitment to the alliance. “As history has demonstrated,

the NATO alliance remains the bedrock of U.S. national security. It is an alliance founded on shared values, cemented in trust and built to endure,” said Ferguson. “I am committed to strengthening the alliance and working with our allies and partners to ensure we remain a positive force for stability and peace throughout the region.” See WELCOMES NEW LEADER Page 5

Benvenuti a Napoli By Michael Maddox Welcome to one of Europe’s great cities - Naples. It’s spicy, cultural, historic, fun, full of life, and as any of you who’ve savored the caprese knows, it has some of the best food in Italy. But to know Naples, you have to immerse yourself in the city. As an avid explorer enjoying his second tour here, I offer the following tips. Start exploring Naples soon after you arrive The orientation tour I received was great, but the many places I saw blurred in my mind because of everything that was going on at the same time: finding an apartment, receiving household goods, checking into the command, starting work and buying a car. It wasn’t until several excursions into downtown that I learned how to use the Metropolitana and the trains, learned about target points, and discovered the many cultural and entertainment events occurring downtown. Read guidebooks, newspapers and other resources about Naples I like DK Naples and the Amalfi

Coast. Others are National Geographic: Naples & Southern Italy, Shopping on the Boot, www.wikinapoli.com, and www.napoliunplugged.it. The Panorama’s articles are up-todate and filled with pictures of special places that often aren’t in the guidebooks, and it gives details of upcoming events that you—as someone living here and with the time to explore—can capitalize on. Collect these articles and put them in your Naples file. Buy a “Campania” artecard (43 euro standard or 33 euro for young people aged 18-25). You can purchase one at the Garibaldi train station or at any of the major museums or archeological sites. The card gives you free or discounted access for one year to museums, castles, art shows, historical and architectural sites throughout Campania (think Caserta Palace, Capodimonte Museum, Palazzo Reale, the National Archeological Museum, the Amphitheater Flavio in Pozzuoli, Pompeii and Paestum). This year’s artecard is better than ever with a map of suggested places to visit in Campania and site descriptions in both English and Italian.

Shoppers take advantage of the open air market in Vomero. (Photo by Michael Maddox) Know big-city touring skills and gather tools of the trade When I was first stationed here 20 years ago, scooter-riding purse snatchers were rampant, but that’s not so anymore. Today, I don’t think that Naples is any riskier for crime than many other big cities. I feel safe in many areas of Naples, but like all big cities, Naples has its areas to avoid. Traveling deep into the Spanish quarter or around

Garibaldi are two that come to mind. Also, it’s never smart - in any city - to make yourself an easy target for pickpockets who work areas where people jostle in close proximity, such as at train stations or major tourist attractions. Years ago, young Gypsies swarmed around my dad as he walked near Rome’s Colosseum and their hands were in and out of his pockets in seconds. See BENVENUTI A NAPOLI Page 9

Captain’s Corner

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

Base Notes

Free Shuttle Service to Carney Park

I spent six of my teenage years growing up on the base in Rota, Spain. I’ve visited Naples many times, both during my time in Rota and during port visits while on deployment. My wife Jen will confirm that a large part of my heart has always been tied to the culture, the people, and the cuisine of southern Europe. My son Kaden loves swimming and soccer, and I expect he’ll be one heck of a futbol player by the time we leave. I am very happy to be here, with my family, in Naples, Italy. In my turnover with Skipper Gray, it was apparent how well-liked and well-respected he was as a leader. In his three years here, he accumulated an amazing list of accomplishments - all of which reflected his focus on getting the most value from our funding, his desire to improve the quality of life for the families serving here away from their homes, and building solid relationships with our Italian hosts. He had a remarkable tour here in Naples and set the bar extremely high. We’ve had a lot of new leadership come to Italy over the last week. Capt. Mark Columbo assumed command of USS Mount Whitney last Thursday and Admiral Ferguson took over as Commander, Naval Forces Europe on Tuesday. Change is a way of life for us in the military, but to alleviate some questions and concerns, I will let you know that all NSA Naples policies and procedures will remain in effect until further notice. This applies to direct assignment, base access, safety procedures, the pet policy and everything else we reference when completing our mission here. I was previously the commanding officer of VS-32 and the operations officer for USS Ronald Reagan. My most recent tour was at the Defense POW/MIA Office in Washington D.C. recovering Sailors, Soldiers and Marines who have not yet returned home from our nation’s previous conflicts. I will continue to get out and meet everyone as I familiarize myself with the facilities here. If you see me, please introduce yourself and give me your feedback. To the Naples team, this is a team sport. I will do my best and I ask for yours. You have my attention, my support and my commitment. I would like to thank everyone who came out for Tuesday’s Town Hall meeting. I will continue to hold these events quarterly and appreciate the open dialogue they provide between leadership and members of the community. Please also continue to utilize resources already in place like ICE comments at http://ice.disa.mil or emails to townhallnsanaples@ eu.navy.mil. My family and I look forward to seeing you all in the community and while out sightseeing the many historical attractions we are surrounded by.

New Amusement Park Opens in Rome Cinecitta’ World amusement theme park opened yesterday in Rome. Attractions and rides are inspired by some of the thousands of movies filmed in Rome’s studios, from spaghetti westerns to action-adventures. The entrance is a faithful reproduction of the studios of directors Fellini and Rossellini. Visitors enter the movie set of “Gangs of New York” through the nightmare-inducing jaws of the Temple of Moloch from “Cabiria,” the 1914 silent film shot in Turin, Italy’s first movie capital. Then they see a re-creation of 1920s Manhattan conceived by Dante Ferretti, a production designer and three-time Academy Award winner who designed the park. Attractions include water rides and

There is a village inspired by the Sergio Leone spaghetti western movies with live soundtrack music by Ennio Morricone. Investment in the theme park has been around 250 million euros, or $338 million. The park has 20 attractions, eight movie sets, four theaters, four restaurants, bars and shops. It is scheduled to be open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Italian Couple Find 20,000 Italian Lire in Purchased Home An Italian couple bought a house in 2011. To their surprise, they found an old case with money inside worth about €20,000; unfortunately the notes are in Italian lire. They are now suing Italy central bank after it refused to exchange millions of lire in euro. The couple tried to track down the previous owner, and when they turned to the Bank of Italy it was told it was waste paper. The December 2011 deadline to change the old currency was missed for a few months. They want to try to change the rule, stating that other EU countries, including Germany and Ireland do not have set deadline for the conversion of currency, which was replaced by the euro in 2002. They will try to fight even though they unlikely will win. They are not alone in this battle. Earlier this year a call-center worker discovered 100 million lire, equivalent to €51,000, in a safe at home that she inherited from her uncle.

Archaeologists Uncover Cemetery in Ostia Antica Italian and American archaeologists uncovered the remains of a cemetery in an ongoing excavation near the ancient port of Ostia Antica. Around a dozen tombs have been found so fat at the site, and some of them contain inscriptions with curses to ward off looters. The place where the burials were found is inside the Parco dei Ravennati, an area of 15,000 square meters. It’s close to a Renaissance castle on the edge of the main excavated area of the town, which had docks, warehouses, apartment houses and its own theater. Ostia was founded in the 7th century BC.

CNO Visits Italian Counterpart From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs

mander of JFC. Ferguson, who previously served as vice chief of naval operations in Washington, D.C., addressed his and NATO's continued commitment to the alliance. Greenert returned to D.C. July 22. His next planned interaction with De Giorgi will take place in September at the International Seapower Symposium (ISS) at the U.S. Naval War College. During ISS, leaders from the world's maritime forces will come together to find solutions to areas of common interest and foster cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. The theme for this year's symposium will be "global solutions to common maritime challenges."

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert conducted a two-day visit to Italy to visit the chief of the Italian navy and attended the Naval Forces Europe change of command ceremony this week. Chief of Staff of the Italian navy, Adm. Giuseppe De Giorgi hosted Greenert July 21 for a welcoming ceremony and a set of meetings at the Italian naval headquarters in Rome. "The Italian navy is a very close partner in dealing with common maritime security challenges," said Greenert. "Our discussions focused on deepening our relationship and looking at ways to increase interoperability between our fleets." The two leaders discussed evolving situations in the areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, which is crucial for the prosperity and development of Italy and Europe as a whole. They also raised opportunities for the two navies to conduct more exchanges, training and cooperatively operate together at sea. Both the Italian and U.S. navies have been among many NATO nations contributing to combating threats and ensuring the safety and stability of the region. Greenert presided over the change of command and retirement ceremony July 22 for Commander Allied Joint Force Command (JFC)/U.S. Naval Forces Europe in Naples. Greenert praised outgoing NAVEUR Commander, Adm. Bruce Clingan for his leadership and performance while in command.

survey in a continuing campaign to gage the moving experience and provide a better quality household goods move in the future. All service members and their spouses who moved recently, or within the last year, are encouraged to log on and take the short survey. The online survey

is quick, easy and can be completed in less than 20 minutes. The survey is located at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/ s/dps_pcs_move. "If you've experienced a household goods move, this is the best opportunity to tell us -- the Navy -- how we are doing and what we can do to improve the process." said Deloma Miley, Household Goods Program Analyst. "Be honest, we can take it. More than that, the results will improve your move in the future and the moves of your friends and family who experience future PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moves." The survey comes on the heels of three scheduled Household Goods Focus group sessions to be held in San Diego, Norfolk and Washington D.C.

So far, Naval Support Activity Naples has reduced energy consumption by 10.28 percent compared to last year's data. Our facilities have made the necessary adjustments to contribute to this significant reduction. Among the top seven consumers, C4I has taken the lead with a 23 percent reduction. The Admin buildings (I, II & III) have taken second place with 20 percent reduction in consumption. The MWR facilities are in first place with a total of 12 percent reduction. Housing has shown an 11 percent decrease placing them in fourth place. In fifth place, the BEQs and U.S. Naval Hospital Naples have both reduced consumption by 5 percent. The NEX has reduced consumption by 2 percent. Well done Naples. We are off to a great start and mare in second place this week. Let's push through this competition and keep conserving to be recognized as the #1 energy-reducing installation.

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.

New Superintendent Takes Command of U.S. Naval Academy By Jessica Clark, U.S. Naval Academy Public Affairs

The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) held a change of command ceremony July 23 in Annapolis, Maryland. Vice Adm. Walter E. "Ted" Carter Jr. relieved Vice Adm. Michael Miller, becoming the 62nd academy superintendent. Carter, a native of Burrillville, Rhode Island, served as president of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, before he was nominated in June as the next superintendent. A career naval aviator, he graduated from the Naval Academy in 1981. Miller, a native of Minot, North Dakota, and 1974 USNA graduate, retired at the ceremony, completing 40 years of active duty naval service. "Every change of command is a bittersweet event, mixing the achievement of what has been with the promise of what is to come," said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, the ceremony's keynote speaker. "Our Navy and our nation face some significant challenges in the coming years and decades, and our ability as a naval service to meet these challenges in a very real and a very central sense begins here at the academy." Mabus spoke about the advancements the Naval

Academy has experienced under Miller's leadership, including the increase in diversity within the Brigade of Midshipmen, improvements in admissions standards, and the development of the cyber security curriculum and founding of the Center for Cyber Security. "During his four years as superintendent, Mike has put the academy on a 21st Century footing, with a firm sense of what the future needs of the naval services will be," said Mabus. In his speech, Miller also emphasized the importance of the cyber security curriculum as well as the enhancement of the Naval Academy sports programs, the expansion of the Stockdale Center for ethical leadership, the creation of three new majors operations research, nuclear engineering and cyber security and the selflessness of the midshipmen who volunteered 25,000 community service hours in the last year. "It's a winning brand, one that young people want to join and in turn be challenged to the limits of their endurance," said Miller. "None of this would have been possible without the finest faculty, staff and coaches this school has ever enjoyed. "I take credit for none of it," he added. "But I'm oh so proud to say I was a witness to the history as it was being written."

Cyber will continue to be a focus, said Carter. "Our nation is pivoting toward potential adversaries and perilous challenges. Technologies are advancing at a frightening, dramatic pace. Our training, our facilities and our curriculum must evolve rapidly." Carter also stressed the importance of character development in the training of future leaders. "Character matters. It is the most important element of ethical leadership. It is needed today more than ever before," said Carter. "Building a strong foundation of character will shape the midshipmen's individual decision making. It will prepare them to become the next great generation of Americans who will persevere where and when America needs them the most."

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 Navyapproved 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: 081-8116299.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) It's All in Your Head By MC2 Amara Timberlake, All Hands Magazine

Chief Petty Officer Tracey Duke Putney doesn't sleep well at night and she ends up taking a nap most afternoons. She loses focus quickly and she finds it nearly impossible to complete the simplest tasks that aren't work-related. "The work-related ones aren't as bad because I signed a contract saying I would do my job," said Putney. "I used to love to read, and I try, but I can't focus on anything deeper than some young adult fiction or something relatively mindless." Putney knew something wasn't right and people at work were beginning to notice. She was good at hiding the emotional scars of the sexual abuse and domestic violence she'd endured for years, until last year. It wasn't until a corpsman friend recommended counseling that Putney began to suspect posttraumatic stress as her problem. Experts say that post-traumatic stress disorder occurs in the range of 11-20 percent of veterans who served in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. In fact, the Rand Corporation published a study in 2008 that estimates as many as one in five service members return from deployment with significant psychological health or traumatic brain injury symp-

toms. What most people don't realize is that trauma isn't only caused by combat. According to the American Psychological Association, trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event. "[Trauma] really emerges in response to some significant threat," said Capt. (Dr.) Anthony Arita, who specializes in clinical neuropsychology at the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury. "In those kinds of scenarios, the body prepares us to make some sort of survival response, (fight or flight) our body mobilizes in all of those physiological ways ... PTSD is a similar reaction; there's an activation in the body, and it's just not appropriate to the situation anymore. It's misplaced." Arita said PTSD has a variety of symptoms and side effects including emotional numbness, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, felt stress and irritability. Arita also said that the magnitude and persistence of these symptoms are what help to characterize PTSD from something else. Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffrey Ballge, was working in the Pentagon in 2001 when he left the building on an errand to the local personnel support detachment. Ballge said that's when he saw the news reports of a plane hitting the World Trade Center in New York. His thoughts raced.

"I can remember looking at that and thinking 'Okay. One plane. It could happen...Commercial plane? That's far-fetched. Two? It was surreal.'" The clerk at PSD told Ballge the Pentagon was hit. The plane impacted on the side where Ballge's work center was. "All I wanted to do was to go to that scene," said Ballge. "I had basic damage control in my head the entire time. The repetitive training; the stuff that was not always the most comfortable to do... I knew I could have assisted in some fashion. Not being able to utilize my training in the most basic response- it hurt." Since Ballge couldn't get anywhere near the Pentagon, he and his leading petty officer set out to account for personnel. "I remember my good friend, in particular, knocking on his door,� said Ballge. “Pounding on that door, until my hand hurt and hearing the phone ringing on the other side; it just kept ringing and his voicemail would pick up and [I could hear] his mother's voice." In the end, Ballge lost 42 friends and coworkers in the attack that day. He stayed close with fellow survivors and did get some counseling, but he mostly kept to himself. Putney said that it was having a hospital corpsman as a friend that made it easier to get help and follow through with the treatment process. "I attended the outpatient

Crisis Intervention Program at the naval hospital. It's a five-day cognitive behavioral therapy class with some group sessions." Since she wasn't stationed on a base that had behavioral health services, Putney had to take time away from work to make her weekly appointments. "My commute was more than five hours for the round trip for a 45 to 60-minute appointment," said Putney. "I'm fortunate to be at a command that is supportive, but I am sure it is difficult for other Sailors to be able to get the time off work to go. That, coupled with the stigma associated with mental health disorders, doesn't make it any more attractive to ask for help." Putney's trauma spanned years as she endured physical, sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of different people. In 2005, she was held at gunpoint by her boyfriend. "I remember making a phone call and being told something along the lines of 'God has something for you to learn; you just need to pray and figure out what it is'," said Putney. "It was like being told that it was God's will [that] I have a bruise the size of the barrel of a .40 caliber on my forehead. It was my fault I wasn't Christian enough, faithful enough, to not be assaulted." Putney is going through the process of formally being diagnosed with PTSD and like the trauma she experienced, the treatment process is longterm. She follows up with individual counseling and will get a new counselor once she transfers to her new duty station. One of the major focuses in her treatment is changing her thought process. "It's a slow process; very slow. I have to learn techniques and then practice them," said Putney. "But you won't get good at it without practicing. The hard part is that I also have to unlearn what I've already become accustomed to doing; like calling myself names and belittling myself." Immediately following the traumatic events of 9/11, Ballge was able to suppress much of his emotion. He was assigned to the Blue Angels

and then USS Essex (LHD 2) where he was able to drown himself in work. He said it all caught up with him in 2009, when he found himself working less. "I didn't have to work on weekends and that's when it really started catching up, is when I had all that downtime," said Ballge. "My chain of command helped me out. They recognized it. My quality of [work] was starting to be noticeable to the chain of command and they set me aside and they asked: 'Hey are you having suicidal thoughts? What's going on?' They kept at it. I told them I'd already had it planned but wasn't to that point yet. They pushed me to get help and I was hospitalized for inpatient treatment." Arita acknowledged the stigma attached to seeking treatment for mental health and the Department of Defense is taking steps to remove that stigma and get troops access to the help they need sooner. "We recognize when people have concerns about their psychological symptoms, there is a reluctance to step forward and seek care," Arita said. "We know that the people who are most symptomatic, the people that need it the most, those are the folks who often express the most reluctances seeking care. We do know people will visit their primary care setting within the year. With mental healthcare providers in the same places as primary care providers, we can address issues as they arise, sooner rather than later." Ballge said he wouldn't want the stigma to stop a shipmate from seeking treatment. "I think about Vietnam vets, when there wasn't an acronym for what was wrong with them and they just drank themselves to death, or they're in prison or they're homeless; because they didn't get that treatment," said Ballge. "I don't ever want that to happen to my generation or any future generation. As awkward as it may feel and as embarrassing as it may feel to you at the time, say something. If the command's not listening, be the squeaky wheel they cannot ignore. They don't want to ignore. They want to help you."

BENVENUTI A NAPOLI Do as the Neapolitans and carry your valuables in a cut-resistant satchel or purse with a breakaway strap that loops over your head and shoulder. Don’t put valuables in your pockets and women should not wear expensive jewelry while walking around. I recommend keeping five or ten euros in your pocket for your easy access. A good street map keeps you oriented while exploring Naples’s labyrinthine downtown. My favorite is the laminated pocket-version from the guidebook DK Naples and the Amalfi Coast, which also includes a Metropolitana map. The Streetwise Naples map is also useful as it has illustrations of buildings superimposed upon streets, so it provides a graphic orientation of where you’re walking. You can get a Metropolitana map at the ticket offices of major stations, but you have to ask for it. Know how to get into downtown Naples via Ali bus, train, subway and car - and know how to use the funicolare I mention the Ali bus first because

Continued from Page 1

for most newcomers it’s their first experience at traveling into downtown Naples. The Ali bus leaves from in front of the Capodichino base (near the roundabout) and then travels to two destinations: 1) the main train station at Piazza Garibaldi and 2) the Molo Beverello ferry terminal. Park your car at the parking garage just inside the gate and then buy your ticket on the Ali bus or at the convenience store just inside the airport. The Ali bus works great, but if you also learn to use the train/subway/funicolare system, then the downtown area will open up to you. Trains and subways run frequently from Aversa into Naples and they’re easy and inexpensive to use. Trains leave the Aversa train station for Garibaldi about every hour on weekdays and every several hours on weekends, making fewer stops than do the subways. The Aversa subway station is a few blocks from the train station and runs every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends. The many stops of the Metropolitana Linea 1, plus its con-

nections to Linea 2, allows you easy access to Vomero and much of Naples. Purchase a Unico Campania U2 ticket (2.20 euro for 120 minutes; 3.50 euro daily on weekends; 6.30 euro daily on weekdays—as of July 6 per www.unicocampania.it) at the Aversa train station, or at a newspaper stand or a tabaccheria (tobacco shop). The U2 ticket allows you to travel from Aversa to Naples and within Naples on trains, subways, funicolare and buses for 120 minutes after you stamp it. If you’re already in the Naples district and are traveling just within Naples, then you just need a Unico Napoli ticket (1.30 euro for 90 minutes; 3.10 euro daily on weekends; 3.70 euro daily on weekdays). To travel on the subway from Aversa to downtown Naples, get on the subway at the Aversa subway station, go to Piscinola where you will transfer to the Metropolitana Linea 1 heading in the direction of Dante (though with the additional stops added this year—Toledo, Universitaria, and Garibaldi—the terminus is now Garibaldi, though not all of the signs and maps have been changed yet). Linea 1 gets you to Vomero (Vanvitelli stop), the National Archeological Museum (Museo/Cavour stop), the ancient areas of Spaccanapoli and Via dei Tribunali (Dante stop), the shopping and theater area of Via Toledo/Piazza Plebiscito/Galleria Umberto I/Teatro San Carlo (Toledo stop), and finally the main train station at Garibaldi. If you’re going to the Mergellina (the western end of the Lungomare seaside walk), then you’ll transfer from Linea 1 to Linea 2 at either Museo/Cavour or at Garibaldi. Traveling on the Metro is easy, though it helps if you carry a Metro map. Maps are also posted on the walls at Metro stations. Driving or taking public buses I don’t often drive into downtown Naples. Several times I’ve been lost on unmarked roads surrounded by tall buildings that block any sense of orientation and sitting in packed traffic while trying to find nonexistent parking on streets. If you do drive, I recommend that have a

favorite parking garage in the area that you want to explore, which you know how to get to. I’ve not found buses to be time-reliable. They come “some time,” and sometimes that’s a long time. Since the Metro works so well, I tend to use it when traveling to Naples.

ever you can. If you see a word on a sign that you don’t know, write it down and look it up later, as it’s likely you’ll see it again. Ask Neapolitans how something is said in Italian. By knowing some Italian, you’ll discover more and have more fun.

Target points Go to “target points” when you explore. These are starting points that you know how to get to that are in the area you want to explore. From a target point, branch out by using walking itineraries, such as in DK Naples, or by going to sites that you’ve circled on your artecard map. If you explore around the below four target point suggestions, you’ll see a lot of the best of Naples.

Happy exploring What a list of places to go and things to see! Naples is one of Europe’s great cities, and it’s rich with history, art, architecture, sculpture, traditions, language, religion, music, special events, shopping, food, and people—but you have to get into it to discover its treasures. Start exploring soon. Gather resources and use good sense when traveling. I recommend how to use the learning Metropolitana and using target points. Welcome to Naples ... and happy exploring!

Navy Medicine Education and Training Command (NMETC) in Bethesda, Md. announced July 17 the development of a globally accessible social media page to help hospital corpsman studying for upcoming advancement exams. NMETC M7 Skills Manager Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (FMF/SW) Mitchell Murphy spearheaded the group effort, spending numerous off-duty hours building the NMETC Enlisted Advancement Program Facebook page, something he said represents a different method of disseminating study material for members of the largest rating in the United States Navy. "We post daily advancement tools, resources, study tips and exam preparation questions for hospital corpsman preparing for the upcoming advancement exams," he said. "I hope this can challenge Sailors on a daily basis to develop good study habits through gaining access to accurate advancement materials." Using social media to provide a different training outlet for the nearly 14,000 hospital corpsmen eligible to take an advancement examination represents a shift in the way NMETC, Navy Medicine and the Navy are communicating. The NMETC Enlisted Advancement Program Facebook page is accessible by typing "Navy Medicine Education and Training Command Enlisted Advancement Program." Along with being a centralized location for Corpsmen seeking advance-

ment information, Murphy said one of the most important aspects of the page is the daily question he or one of the four other page administrators post. "Nearly everyone has access to Facebook, whether on their mobile

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.

In the Spotlight HN RENEE E. SHUDICK Hospitalman Renee Shudick was born and raised in Noblesville, Indiana. She joined the United States Navy in August 2013 and reported to U.S Naval Hospital Naples in March 2014. She was assigned to the Ambulatory Procedure and Post Anesthesia Care Units where she currently cares for the health and well-being of patients before and after surgery. In addition to her patient care duties, Shudick was recently appointed as the equipment petty officer for three departments to manage the accountability and maintenance of 160 pieces of specialized medical equipment. Growing up, she played lacrosse as a defensive wing and was the first freshman to start on her high school varsity team. She also loves to play the piano, to read, and she always enjoys any outside activities, especially kayaking, hiking and camping. Recently, she volunteered as an assistant coach for the MWR U11 softball team. When asked why she joined the Navy, Shudick replied, “I have always admired Mother Theresa’s selfless work and I have always wanted to become a nurse. I joined to become a corpsman so I could be helping people while pursuing my degree.”

HN BERNARDA CHAPARRO Hospital Corpsman Bernarda Chaparro is from Miami, Fla. She joined the Navy in January 2012 and graduated Hospital Corpsman “A” School. She reported to U.S. Naval Hospital Naples in August 2012.

As the supply corpsman for Preventative Medicine, she is in charge of ensuring all supplies and consumables are maintained with accurate accountability in order to complete their mission. Chaparro is someone who is consistently growing and makes it a priority to continuously learn even when it is not related to her job. ”I find that many times, my professional growth is based on what I study, both directly and indirectly related to work.” Chaparro plans on joining the Navy Nurse Corps in the near future and to one day become a strong mentor and leader for her Sailors.
