NEO Drill Held in Naples

Clebe McClary Talks to NSA Naples Clebe McClary visited Naval Support Activity Naples for a two-day speaking engagement, June 21-22. He spoke to service members and civilians about core values and shared his personal stories of service and life after being severely wounded in combat, and learning to cope with life following his military career. McClary is a Marine recon Vietnam veteran who during a 1968 night attack by a North Vietnamese sapper unit took multiple grenades and a satchel charge, resulting in the loss of his left arm, limited use of his right hand and the loss of his left eye. His life was saved

by Marine Pfc. Ralph Johnson, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for taking a grenade for his comrades.

McClary was awarded both the Silver Star and Bronze Star during his career. McClary has given his message of overcoming adversity and the importance of having a positive attitude to audiences in all 50 states and 30 countries.

Reasons to Hire Vets Winnefeld said there are many good reasons why American businesses should hire veterans.

“First, our people motivated by the right ideals,” Winnefeld said. “Our recruiting statistics show that most of these folks entered the military because they wanted to do something important.”

The vice chairman pointed to a recent survey that said people join the military for reasons of “pride, self-esteem, and honor, followed by a desire to better their lives, then duty and obligation to country and everything else you would imagine came after that.”

Winnefeld added, “I would sure want to hire someone mature enough at a young age to think of country before self. Americans can

Hiring military veterans as they transition back into America’s communities is beneficial for businesses and the nation, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said on June 24, 2015.

Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr. spoke before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Mission Transition Summit, where he encouraged businesses to hire veterans and their spouses and dispelled misconceptions connecting veterans and post-traumatic stress.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

This week we practiced a very important part of our emergency response procedures with a Noncombatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) Exercise on the Support Site and Capodichino.

This exercise simulated the events and processes essential to properly respond to a natural disaster or other major disruptive event. These events are highly unlikely, but we have an obligation to prepare and understand what actions need to be taken to ensure the safety of our community. For a short time, the elementary school became our personnel processing facility and we had experts from critical offices assist those who volunteered to participate in the simulation. We had a significantly larger group of volunteers this year and we also included members from Army units, NATO and the State Department. The veterinary clinic also participated to ensure we understand how to fully accommodate pet processing. I would like to thank all who participated for their support in this very important exercise.

We are reaching the peak of PCS season. One of the major challenges associated with an international move is how best to get your pet to the next duty station. With 40 percent of all military moves happening right now, pet space on military flights is in high demand. Some pet owners may face costly fees if commercial airline travel becomes their only option. Early and frequent conversations with the travel office will give you the best chance to secure a spot for your pet. Use your chain of command to help resolve difficulties you may encounter getting your pet to your new duty station.

The second annual “Energy Biggest Loser” contest is kicking-off next week on July 1.

Installations in the Region are competing to see who can drop the most energy consumption during the month of July. The winning installation will receive $70,000 to spend on important community-related projects. Take a look around your homes and offices to see what you can do to help ensure Naples comes away with the win. Simply turning off computer monitors and office lights can have a significant impact. We’ll provide weekly updates in the Panorama and on Facebook.com/NSANaples. By reducing energy consumption, we also reduce the Navy’s utility bill which leaves more dollars for other priorities like fleet operations, training, and quality of life improvements.

A poster and video competition also coincide with the ‘Energy Biggest Loser’ contest. Submissions are due by July 10 and must feature the competition or have other energy conservation and resource messages. Take a look at the flyers around base for additional information or call NAVFAC’s PAO at DSN 626-7775 to talk about your submission. I hope to see some creative entries from the NSA Naples community! Thank you all for doing your part to help raise awareness for energy conservation.

Have a safe and fun filled summer weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone out at Carney Park for our July 4th celebration next week!

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

da Vinci Self-Portrait on Display Through August 3 in Rome For First The Leonardo da Vinci’s self-portrait is on display for the first time in Rome at the Capitoline Museums until August 3. The masterpiece was loaned by the Royal Library of Turin where is kept in a vault and it is not visible to the public, unless on rare exhibits. The self-portrait was sent to Rome aboard a Frecciarossa highspeed train under extraordinary security.

The room where the Leonardo self-portrait is displayed is monitored by a climate box that maintains a stable temperature and humidity.

World-Famous Museums Open on Saturday Evenings Through December 19 The Italian Culture Ministry said that the Uffizi – one of the top-drawing museums in Italy – along with the Accademia Gallery and the Bargello National Museum will be open Saturdays from 7 to 11 p.m. The Uffizi is the top-drawing museum, the Accademia gallery is famous for the David, and the Bargello National Museum is dedicated to sculpture. These museums will be open on Saturdays evenings through December 19.

Puppy Finds World War II Grenade Last week a group of children were playing outside in a backyard in Velletri in the province of Rome when a puppy, which belonged to one of the children, run off into the woods and came back with a strange object in his mouth. He left a World War II hand grenade on the doorstep of a house. Luckily the children didn’t touch it and the owner of the house alerted police who immediately called the bomb squad. The bomb squad secured the area before removing the grenade which was perfectly intact with the fuse still attached. The grenade was disposed in an isolated location.

Gas Station Attendant Murdered Over Price of Gas A retired man killed a gas station attendant following an argument over the price of a full tank. The man was arrested on charges of murdering the attendant with futile motives. The man shot the attendant in the back with a 7.65mm gun that he illegally owned. He argued that he pre-

viously paid 61 euro for a full tank instead of the 68 euro charged by the attendant. He was identified through the security video surveillance images and he subsequently confessed to the crime.

Sicilian Town Giving Away Vacant Homes The local government of the Sicilian town of Gangi decided to offer up vacant homes to businesses that want to spruce up the area with hotels and because the town needs newcomers to replace its disappearing population. The expenses for the transfer of ownership will be taken care of by the entrepreneurs who must present a plan for renovation within one year of purchase and complete renovations within three years. The decision to offer vacant homes came after decades of people leaving the area in search of a better life elsewhere: Between 1892 and 1924 about 1,700 immigrants from Gangi arrived at Ellis Island, New York, and later, in the 1930s and 40s immigrants headed for Argentina. The mayor of Gangi said he does not want people just because they have money but whose goal is to improve the town as a whole, not just to own a house.

Venice Unveils First Urban Green Garden The First Urban Green Garden of Venice is an oasis of calm in the city’s Santa Lucia main train station. The garden is patterned after the design of Venice’s Royal Botanical Garden of 1815. Visitors can relax and even claim a packet of seeds to plant there on the spot or to take home as a souvenir. There are many varieties of seeds from fruit trees to ornamental shrubs to aromatic plans. Seats and benches of the garden are made by recycled pallets, promoters said.

New Economical Bus Service A new bus service started Wednesday linking 13 Italian cities at an inexpensive fare. Ticket is only 1 euro plus 50 cents for reservation fee. The cities connected by the Megabus company are Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice, Naples, Turin, Bologna, Verona, Padua, Siena, Genoa and Pisa. There are a total of 23 buses with free wi-fi, power sockets, air conditioning and toilets. Megabus.com can carry up to 87 passengers on each vehicle.

Reservation can be made at www.megabus.com

NAVY HISTORY: THE WAR TO END ALL WARS – BEGINS-ENDS

Eighth East Yorkshire Regiment soldiers silhouetted against the skyline as they moved up to the front during the Battle of Broodseinde during World War I. Photo by Ernest Brooks

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria is assassinated at Sarajevo, Bosnia, which ultimately led to World War I. Five years later – on June 28, 1919 – the Versailles Peace Treaty was signed, which signaled the end of “The war to end all wars.”

They called it “The Great War,” and it was a titanic struggle that decimated Europe and killed the young men who were the brightest hope of that generation.

President Woodrow Wilson called it “The War to End All Wars,” but he was sadly mistaken.

When another conflict erupted 20 years later, “The Great War” became simply World War I. The war began in 1914 over “some damn foolish thing in the Balkans,” as German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck prophesied. A Serb nationalist stepped from a crowd in Sarajevo and shot the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, killing both.

Within weeks, the European continent was split into two camps, with Germany and

Austria facing off against France, Russia and Great Britain. Millions of men fought on the Western and Eastern Fronts. All the combatants expected to make quick work of their enemies, but then all aspects of national power came to the defense of the nations, and the war quickly evolved into a stalemate.

Both fronts became killing machines, as generals and admirals, unused to the destructive power of the new technologies they now had at their command, still ordered attacks using the old rules of warfare. At the Battle of the Somme in 1916, 60,000 British soldiers were killed or wounded on just the first day.

The Battle of Verdun – February to December 1916 – cost both German and French forces almost 800,000 casualties.

On the Atlantic, German submarines came close to strangling Great Britain as the tonnage of Allied shipping sunk rose.

The United States remained neutral through the war’s first years. Wilson was reelected president in 1916 with the slogan “He kept us out of war.” But in 1917, Germany

instituted unrestricted submarine warfare, and the U.S. Congress declared war.

The first American troops journeyed to France in June 1917. Following a parade through Paris, Army Col. Charles E. Stanton said: “Lafayette, we are here,” a

phrase that gave heart to the Allies.

Army Gen. John J. Pershing commanded the American Expeditionary Force. His mission was to join the fight, but only as an American Army under American commanders. The allies wanted American units

piecemeal as replacements for their own decimated forces.

Adding to this pressure was revolution in Russia and its pullout from the alliance.

German and Austrian forces could concentrate on the Western Front, and in a gamble that almost paid off, German forces attacked toward Paris before the Americans’ strength could be mustered.

French and British leaders asked for American units to stop the Germans. The 1st Infantry Division at Cantigny; the 2nd Infantry Division, which included the 4th Marine Brigade, at Belleau Wood; and the 3rd Infantry Division becoming known as the “Rock of the Marne” showed that Americans were up for the fight. Some 60,000 American soldiers and Marines had saved Paris.

From May until the armistice in November 1918, more than 50,000 Americans died in battle. More died of illnesses. At the war’s end – at “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” – about 113,000 Americans had paid the ultimate sacrifice.

SPOTLIGHT: IT2 DANIEL YAMANE IT2 Daniel Yamane is a Sailor who goes above and beyond as a volunteer for USO Naples. Hailing from San Mateo, California, he has been in the Navy twoand-a-half years and a USO Naples volunteer since 2014.

Yamane has jumped right into the responsibilities and opportunities of an overseas duty station, and has volunteered more than 100 hours at 27 events, including our annual Summer Fest, Single Sailor BBQs, Open Mic Nights, community BINGOs, and much, much more.

“It’s a great opportunity to support the community and give back to those serving in this area,” he said. “I love that the USO offers a range of different programs and events for everyone – military, spouses, children, and the local community.”

The entire USO Naples team is proud to work with Yamane and is extremely thankful for his commitment in the USO volunteer program.

If you are interested in volunteering with the USO, email Sabrina Pullido (USO Naples Director) at sabrina.pullido@uso.it or stop by our office in the Air Terminal at Capo.

Installations, region wide, will compete for the grand prize of $70,000 to be awarded in support base projects. The second and third place winners will be awarded $50,000 and $30,000 respectively. The grand prize winner will be the installation with the greatest decrease in energy consumption for the month of July.

The competition begins July 1 and ends July 31, 2015. Electrical readings will be taken weekly using the electric metering systems. The readings will be made available to the public via articles in the energy corner of the Panorama newspaper, NSA PAO notes and on the NSA Naples Energy Savings Facebook page. The winning installation will be announced August 5.

This year, installation occupants are offered an opportunity to support energy conservation awareness efforts. In addition to the reduction competition, there is also a poster and video competition. The winning video and poster for the installation will compete with the products created region wide for the best design. The winning poster and video will be announced on later than July 14th. Please review the Energy Biggest Loser flyers for additional poster and video competition details.

If you have any suggestions on how to reduce energy and help get ahead in the competition please contact your facilities’ Building Energy and Water Monitor (BEWM).

There are only a few days left before the competition begins.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Preparing for the Energy Biggest Loser competition From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

As the Energy Biggest Loser Competition approaches, we should all keep in mind various energy efficient practices we can utilize on a daily basis. Below are six simple habits that can reduce consumption and help ensure NSA Naples is the next Energy Biggest Loser.

1. Label light switches: Often people will come in to the office and switch on every light, because no one has really paid any attention to which switch operates which lights. By labeling switches with stick-on labels, it becomes clear which lights can be switched off on sunny days or when no-one is working in that area.

2. Turn off the lights in empty rooms or request the installation of motion sensors: These will automatically shut off the lights after a predetermined time of no movement.

3. Blinds up – lights off: Open the blinds let the sun shine in, and switch off the lights.

4. Retrofit lamps if possible: Request to have all lights switched to energy-efficient bulbs. Savings from 20 to 40 percent are possible by making this simple switch.

5. Sleepy computers: Turn off your monitors if they will be left inactive for 20 min or longer.

6. Get to know your Energy Manager: Get friendly with your energy or facilities manager and report any appliances, devices or practices that guzzle up energy consumption.

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

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

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

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

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

USO Presents Summer Fest 2015 From Naples USO

The USO Naples team presented its annual Summer Fest at the Support Site Central Park for more than 400 people on June 13.

The free event was held to show appreciation for the service and sacrifices of service members and military families. The evening featured a Father’s Day Photo Booth, an MWR Mile Flag Run, kids’ games, informational booths, American barbecue, military history trivia, music from AFN and a live performance by the US Naval Forces Europe Flagship Band.

Base organizations set up informational booths to share the opportunities available to military families through Fleet and Family Support Center, Navy Federal Credit Union, Global Citizens, Local Difference (GCLD), and Naples Girl Scouts. Meanwhile, the Multi-cultural Heritage Committee hosted a dedication for equal opportunity, with a focus on June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride month.

Festivalgoers munched on burgers and cotton candy prepared by Naples Area First Class Petty Officers Association along with

sweet sausages and drinks provided by the USO. The children kept busy jumping from the bounce house, to face painting, to the obstacle course, and then back to the USO kids’ tent for more activities. The NSA Naples Fire Department also brought out the Fire Truck and Sparky the fire dog, for tours, hugs, and sniffs.

For those with a competitive edge, there were military history trivia, tug-of-war, and watermelon eating contests that brought families together and may won prizes.

“This is the best ever!” said one military child as she ran from the USO children’s tent to the Bounce House, with cotton candy in hand.

HIRE VETS

from page 1

count on the fact that we’ve only added to that maturity over their time in uniform.”

A Diverse Workforce Winnefeld said the military has invested in a diverse workforce, including additional education.

“In many cases,” he said, “these veterans offer technical expertise directly relevant to the job for which they’re applying. In other cases, they bring the ability to quickly absorb new training in a skill similar to what they might have been doing in the service.”

The vice chairman said veterans “just know how to learn,” and that service members gain highly sought-after skills and experiences during their time in the military.

“It’s a diverse workforce that made the cut to get into the military in the first place from a generation in which only three of 10 young people qualify,” the admiral said.

Key Attributes of Military Vets Winnefeld cited more than 40 years of peer-reviewed academic articles from several fields suggesting several key attributes required for success in business and

industry that the military passes onto its veterans.

These include being entrepreneurial, assuming high levels of trust, being adept at skills that transfer across contexts and tasks, leveraging advanced technical training, advanced teambuilding, he said.

“Who wouldn’t want these characteristics in their workforce?” he asked. “And that’s before you consider the tax credits that are available under several programs under which you can hire a veteran.”

Character of Veterans Winnefeld also lauded what he called the “vital” values veterans bring to any organization – values that include loyalty, integrity and teamwork.

“When asked about employees they’ve recently released, employers most often cite character flaws rather than gaps in skill as their rationale,” he said.

“Well, we’re pretty good at ironing out character flaws in the military, yet many companies hire for a skill set listed in a vacancy announcement, not character.”

Higher Performance The vice chairman also cited a study by the Corporate Executive Board aimed at capturing the value

proposition of veteran employees.

“They found that veteran performance is four percent higher than for nonveterans, and that veterans experience three percent less

ans,” Winnefeld added, “that translates into at least an extra percent or two in annual revenue.”

A survey con ducted by the job-search company Monster notes that 99 percent of

"I would sure want to hire someone mature enough at a young age to think of country before self.

Americans can count on the fact that we've only added to that maturity over their time in uniform." turnover,” he told the audience.

“When you apply this to a company with a workforce of only 25 percent veter-

employers believe their veterans perform better than, or as well as, their nonveteran peers, the vice chairman noted.

Winnefeld said hiring veterans should not be looked upon as an act of charity, but rather as an act of patriotism, because it actually contributes to the military’s future.

Helping Veterans Make the Transition The admiral also discussed what the military is doing to help its service members as they transition to civilian life.

“We recently redesigned our Transition Assistance Program … to provide contemporary, relevant, and mandatory information, tools, and training to ensure our members are prepared for civilian life,” he said. “This year, the services will begin implementing the Military Life Cycle model into their TAP programs, including grabbing on to whatever equivalency certifications that we can find.”

Military leaders recognized that simply briefing people as they walk out the door will not lead to their success, Winnefeld said.

This model is designed to ensure service members’ careers are aligned with their civilian career goals and highlight things that they should address well before they separate, he explained.

Successful transition is ultimately an individual responsibility that requires planning and deliberate ex-

7

ecution, the admiral said, and the military has made transition a leadership priority.

“I believe it’s going to take a while to get our program right,” he acknowledged, “and we definitely need your feedback – what we’re looking for is continuous improvement over time.”

Misconceptions About Veterans But despite programs to assist with hiring transitioning service members, Winnefeld said, veterans still face stereotypes that can raise barriers to their ability to find employment.

“Many prospective employers are scared off by the misimpression that veterans suffer disproportionately from post-traumatic stress,” the admiral said.

“Indeed, 46 percent of [human resources] pros surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management cited PTS and mental health issues as potential barriers to hiring employees with military experience. What a shame.”

The reality, he said, is that while a small minority of veterans do experience post-traumatic stress and mild traumatic brain injury, their susceptibility to it is no greater than the average American.

Moreover, Winnefeld said, these conditions can be treated, and may well be better treated for some veterans than any other sector of society – although there is still much more that can be done.

“But there’s no data that confidently links PTS with a propensity for violence, so we need to dispense with that narrative,” he added.

Hiring Veterans is a ‘Win-Win’ Winnefeld encouraged all Americans to take an interest in successfully transitioning the nation’s veterans, who have regained their rightful place of dignity in America that they’d unfairly lost decades ago in the wake of the Vietnam War. That dignity, Winnefeld said, is extended and leveraged in a “good and honorable and profitable way when these magnificent men and women come home and their talents are put to use in the private sector.”

He added, “I don’t use the phrase ‘give them a job’ – that sounds like a handout.

I much prefer, ‘recognize their exceptional potential to make a solid contribution to the bottom line.’”

Hiring veterans is a “winwin” proposition, the vice chairman said – one that benefits the nation’s veterans as well as America’s businesses.

They’re all Winners: Cyclists Compete for More Than Medals at 2015 Warrior Games

By Shannon Collins DoD News

As the heat of the day seeped in, the wounded, ill and injured hand cyclists, recumbent and upright riders each warmed up, shook off their nerves and got ready to race in the cycling competition June 21, 2015, at the 2015 DoD Warrior Games in Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia.

The warrior games featured eight sporting events with approximately 250 athletes representing teams from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command, and the British Armed Forces.

The 2015 DoD Warrior Games promote the resiliency and warrior spirit of our wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, caregivers, and families.

Adaptive sports and athletic reconditioning activities also play a fundamental role in the recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration of our service members and veterans.

Though Marine Corps Cpl. Gabby Graves-Wake earned a gold medal in the women’s recumbent

Army Staff Sgt. Monica Martinez and Army Staff Sgt. Vestor ‘Max’ Hasson compete in time trials for a spot on the Army’s team for the 2015 DoD Warrior Games.

T1 category, she said her main goal was finishing strong with her fellow female Marines.

“We started strong and we ended strong,” Graves-Wake said.

“We’re a team. We started together. We worked together the entire time to block the wind, to draft off each other, to make sure we were a group of Marines

out there accomplishing the mission that no one was left behind. It’s how it’s always been and that’s how it’s always going to be.”

Feeling Confident Graves-Wake’s fellow female Marines were in the open and T2 recumbent categories and crossed the finish line with her.

“I was pretty nervous and the adrenaline was going but as soon as they said we were off, my legs started moving,” GravesWake said. “It was muscle memory, and training kicked in. I enjoyed the ride, the breeze was on my face, and I came in with my two buddies.”

British forces team member retired army Sgt. Andy Perrin earned a gold medal in the men’s recumbent tandem with medically retired U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Chuck Sketch and then went on to earn a gold medal in the men’s open upright.

Perrin said the heat was a bit brutal, and he and Sketch had a few me-

chanical issues that put them in the back of the pack, but then they gaining ground.

“We started picking everybody off as we went along and did well, and Chuck was really happy and that’s the main thing,” Perrin said. “He loved it, coming through and overtaking people.”

Perrin said he enjoys participating in events like the Invictus Games and the Warrior Games.

‘It’s Not Really About Winning’ “It’s not really about winning when you come to the Warrior Games. It’s more about making new friends and meeting people in your situation and having a bit of fun, really,” Perrin said. “There’s a lot of people learning to race for the first time and one of them was just behind me when we came in and that was his first race.

Hopefully he learned a little bit and that’s what it’s about really and everybody’s in it together. It just happens that there are a few medals at the end.”

Think Food Safety When You Grill For a Cookout From the U.S. Department of Agriculture

It’s summertime, and that means that barbecue grills are being pulled out of tool sheds and garages and dusted off.

Before you start grilling, USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service would like to remind you of several tips for a safe and healthy cookout: ● Before grilling, always start with clean surfaces and clean hands. ● Raw meats and poultry should be prepared separately from vegetables and cooked foods. ● If you plan to marinate meat and poultry for several hours or days prior to grilling, make sure to marinate them in the refrigerator – not on the counter. ● If you’re using charcoal, go with commercial briquettes or aromatic wood chips. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s directions on the package label, the same goes for your grill.

If you’re using a gas grill, it’s important that you know where hot and cold spots are. Read the manual that came with your gas grill for more information. ● Color is NOT a reliable indicator of doneness. Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns quickly and may appear done on the outside, but still may have not reached a safe minimum internal temperature to kill any harmful bacteria. That’s where a food thermometer comes in handy. ● Hamburgers and other ground beef

should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce the risk of E. coli ● Poultry should be grilled to a minimum safe internal temperature of 165 F to reduce the risk of Salmonella. ● The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline recommends that whole cuts of pork, lamb, veal, and beef be cooked to 145 F as measured by a food thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat, followed by a three-minute rest time before carving or consuming. ● Fully cooked meats like hot dogs should be grilled until steaming hot. ● Fish should be cooked to 145 F. ● If you plan on using a smoker, the temperature in the smoker should be maintained between 225 F and 300 F for optimal safety. Be sure to use your food thermometer to be certain the food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature. ● As you take the cooked meats off the grill, be sure to place them on a clean platter, not on the dish that held them when they were raw. The juices left on the plate from raw meat can spread bacteria to safely cooked food. ● Perishable food should never sit out for more than two hours.

DoD Sends Blended Military Retirement Proposal to Congress

By John D. Banusiewicz DoD News

A Defense Department proposal submitted to Congress on June 10, 2015, would create what Pentagon officials called a “blended defined benefit and defined contribution” military retirement system.

Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren told reporters that the proposal includes elements the department believes are necessary to promote retention, to maintain the all-volunteer force, and to protect service members who retire due to disability.

“The department carefully reviewed proposals offered by the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission as well as Congress,” Warren said. “And in crafting its final recommendation, the department considered all elements of current and potential retirement plans and built a blended system that – in the military judgment of the Department of Defense – best enables us to maintain the readiness of the all-volunteer force.”

Officials believe the proposal will help to give the department the flexibility it needs to manage the force into the future, the colonel said, while helping to ensure that 85 percent of service members will start long-term retirement savings.

Proposal Highlights Highlights of the proposal include: - Creating a defined contribution element through the Thrift Savings Plan for service members; - DoD automatically contributing an amount equal to 1 percent of a service member’s basic pay to the Thrift Savings Plan account from entry into service through separation or retirement, with vesting after completion of two years of service and additional matching contributions of up to 5 percent of basic pay starting after completion of four years of service and continuing through separation or retirement; and - Each service having the ability to offer a bonus, called Continuation Pay, to members with eight to 16 years of service, with each service setting the rate of Continuation Pay. “This change to a blended retirement system is a key step in modernizing the department's ability to recruit, retain and maintain the talent we require of our future force,” Warren said. “We know that future service members will require more choice and flexibility in compensation and retirement.”

Attracting and Managing the Future Force The proposal also provides additional options for attracting and managing a military force that requires ever-increasing, diverse and technical skill sets in an evolving global economy, he added.

Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Defense Department spokesman, said that under the plan, about 85 percent of service members who enter the force will receive some form of a portable retirement benefit.

Future service members would receive 80 percent of the current defined benefit – retirement pay, which effectively is a pension – if they serve for 20 years, and would have the opportunity to achieve nearly equivalent or better retirement benefits when they reach retirement age, he added.

“This plan enables us to recruit and retain our superb allvolunteer force in the 21st century,” Christensen said.
