More than 400 participants of all ages put their physical fitness on the line as they blazed through the Annual Mud Run hosted by Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) at Carney Park, Aug. 23. Community members arrived early at the recreational park of Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples to register and get Mud Run T-shirts for the event. Some took a chance to check out the obstacles, which included wire crawls, mud pits, tires and wall obstacles. Volunteers from the First Class Petty Officers Association and Second Class

Petty Officers Association helped organize and set up the annual Mud Run. “I can’t thank them enough for the help from the three MWR employees and the many active-duty volunteers that stepped up to prepare this event for NSA Naples,” said MWR Fitness director Michelle Hewitt. “I think the participants had a lot of fun even if it was just playing in the mud.” Events like the Mud Run help maintain physical fitness in fun and different ways and help build camaraderie amongst the community. “It was a great team-building exercise and we really stuck together all the way across the finish line,” said Lt. j.g. Alexander Perrien. “A mud pit is a great equalizer no matter your rank and going

through a mud pit really puts you on the same level as everybody else out there.” With temperatures reaching the 90s and humidity making it feel even hotter, many Sailors submerged their bodies entirely in the mud pit to cool them off during the run. “I was running for a while and jumping into the mud was a great feeling to help cool me down,” said Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Tyler Allshouse. “It was a good workout, a great way to meet people with similar interests and overall a stellar way to get out and spend your Saturday.” There were families that participated in the Mud Run making it a memorable event for all.

Back 2 School Block Party Brings Community Together The 4th Annual Back 2 School Block Party and "Chalk the Walk" competition, Aug. 22, brought together children, parents, teachers and other community members getting ready for the start of the school year. There was food, music, entertainment and informational booths for attendees, as well as school information available from teachers, the elementary and middle/high school principals and the Child and Youth Programs director. Health Promotions' staff from the hospital offered a community needs assessment survey and offered a poster for children to draw what kind of things they do for fitness, which brought a wide range of drawings and helped raise awareness of how important physical activity is for children. Besides the "Chalk the Walk" competition, Child and Youth Programs also organized a collaborative art piece that honored the Gold Star Program. (Photo by MCC Travis Simmons)

Base Notes

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

New Support Site Pavilion Reservation System

It's Labor Day weekend and the end of the 101 Critical Days of Summer is upon us. The weather this summer has been fantastic, and more "get out of the house" weather is in the forecast for the long holiday weekend. As you make plans to enjoy the four-day weekend take a moment to think about risk management. If you're planning a long distance drive, make sure to break it up with rest stops, and switch out drivers periodically. If there's alcohol involved, have a plan and stick with it; don't get behind the wheel. If you get in a bind, call the Tipsy Taxi at 335-640-6597. Take the opportunity this weekend to get out and enjoy the last days of summer, but plan it out and be safe. Last week saw the start of school and the base was bustling with a lot of happy kids and even happier parents! The annual Back 2 School Block Party on Friday was a tremendous success and helped get us ready for the new school year. The party drew an amazing crowd, and it was great to see all the kids, parents, teachers and base organizations taking part. I saw some masterpieces out there for the Chalk the Walk art competition, and the collaborative art piece honoring the Gold Star Program was an impressive accomplishment that honors those who have sacrificed so much. Thank you to the many volunteers, organizations, students, teachers, and parents who came together to make it such a fantastic event. As a reminder, pets are not allowed in the school areas, the Village Forum or the NEX and Commissary shopping center. Especially with so many kids coming and going, we can’t have the risk of a bite and parents shouldn't have to be concerned about this with their kids walking into the school. Please follow the pet policy, to include cleaning up after them so we can all enjoy the base facilities and sports fields. This past weekend we also had the youth sports assessment day in conjunction with MWR's annual Mud Run, which had its best numbers yet - over 450 “tough mudders”! I had a blast running it with our single Sailors and I saw plenty of families with smiles on their faces even in the mud pit! These events help us come together and it was great to see different departments and commands representing and building camaraderie. We have implemented a new reservation system for the pavilions and gazebos on the Support Site. Taping up signs with the chance that weather or other people might take them down wasn't a good system. Chris Kasparek, our Child and Youth Programs (CDC) director, talked with community members for several months and worked out a new reservation system with a request form and calendar maintained at the CDC. Either call them up at 081-811-4390 or email Chris for the request form or additional information. I encourage everyone to give this innovative reservation system a shot; use it to facilitate the planning and the coordinated enjoyment of our great facilities. I'll close this week by asking each member of the NSA community to look out for each other as we get out this holiday weekend and enjoy living abroad in Naples.

Pavilions and gazebos on the Support Site can be reserved through a form available at the Support Site Child Development Center (CDC) or by emailing Christopher.kasparek@eu.navy.mil. The requester will receive a confirmation through the Pavilion Reservation Calendar, which should be printed and taken to the event. The reservations are not for playground areas. Individuals can make pavilion reservations 60 days in advance, command or private organization events can be made 180 days in advance, and large functions (concerts in the park, National Night Out, etc.) can be made one year in advance. For more information, please call DSN 629-4390 or 081-811-4390.

NSA Naples Battles University of San Diego on the Hard Court By MC2 Jared King, Navy Public Affairs Support Element East – Detachment Europe

The University of San Diego (USD) men’s basketball team defeated the Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples basketball team with a final score of 118-52 in an exhibition game sponsored by Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) at the Naples High School, Aug. 14. The Naples team of Sailors from various commands jumped to a fourpoint lead in the beginning of the first half, however, USD was relentless with their jump shots and dunks. “I want to thank NSA Naples today for all the hospitality that we have been extended,” said Bill Grier, head coach for USD. “For us this was a chance for our players to give back to the military and their families.” “It was an incredible experience for us and we want to thank everyone for

coming out,” said Grier. The players for USD said they were very appreciative of the opportunity to come to Italy and play basketball with the men who protect their country. “We will never be able to repay them for what they do for our country,” said Marcus Harris, a point guard for USD. “The Navy team did well and it was a good game overall.” The game gave the Naples team the opportunity to test their skills against an NCAA Division I basketball team. “It started out competitive, but as the game continued the difference as far as the talent really showed,” said Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Shawn Payne, a forward for NSA Naples. “We were fatigued as the game went on, but we managed to keep up our spirits, and overall it was a pretty good game.” Members of the NSA Naples com-

munity were excited to see the matchup. “It appeared the teams matched up pretty well for about the first three minutes, then after that USD hit all the shots they were supposed to hit and the game speed was different,” said Operations Specialist 2nd Class Darren Pointer. “I don’t think the NSA Naples team was prepared for a game that fast.” The NSA Naples team came together through tryouts to play an exhibition basketball game against a Division I school. “I learned that trying to keep up with these college athletes was no easy task,” said Intelligence Specialist 1st Class Patrick Ingram, a player for NSA Naples. “We could have played much better, but this was overall just an amazing experience to be able to play against a Division I school.”

“My son and I started and finished the race together and he did really well,” said Capt. James Aiken. “The most memorable part of the day for me was to see my son sprint out ahead of me right before the finish line.” The Physical Fitness Assessment season is kicking back up after a summer full of cookouts. “I would absolutely suggest for next year’s runners to train in advance,” said Personnel Specialist 2nd Class Israel Figueroa, who said getting over the wall was the most difficult obstacle. “I didn’t train and I am certainly paying for it.” Participants smiled triumphantly as they crossed the finish line in brown moist muck giving high-fives to a crowd of spectators who cheered for them down the final stretch. “My advice to the runners for next year’s event is to come out and have fun,” said Master Chief Master-atArms Nancy Brewton. “It was great, a lot of good obstacles and teamwork.” For more information on MWR events, visit www. facebook.com/mwrnaples or contact 081-811-7907.

Chief Selects Gain a Sense of Heritage in Cassino, Italy By MCC Travis Simmons, NSA Naples Public Affairs

More than 40 chief selects and chief petty officers from the Naples area visited World War II battle sites and memorials in Cassino, Italy, Aug. 22, to gain a sense of heritage and learn from military history. The CPO 365 Phase II trip allowed the selectees to see the terrain, hear firsthand accounts and discuss lessons learned from battles that took place 70 years ago, as the Allies moved north through Italy pushing German forces back and diverting attention from the impending D-Day in Normandy, France. Leadership, communication and terrain were recurring topics throughout the day as the group moved from site to site. “It’s important for the selectees to build that sense of heritage,” said Chief Electronics Technician Andrew Bohnsack, from Task Force 69. “I think they’ve been soaking it up for the previous part of their career and now it’s time for them to learn it and give it back to their Sailors.” Selectees took part in a visual demonstration to represent the losses suffered by the 36th ‘Texas’ Infantry Division. After listening to a detailed story about the death of their captain and how it affected his remaining troops, selectees moved into formation and sequentially took a knee to represent the heavy losses the National Guard division experienced while fighting for each hill and through each German line.

“Hear the words that are being said, then take them in and figure out what they mean,” said Master Chief Fire Controlman Michael Fluent, from U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/ U.S. 6th Fleet. “What is the impact? What can we learn from that today? How can that change the way we do things today? Is there a lesson to be garnished from that? We are the keepers of tradition; we are the keepers of history.” The chiefs highlighted the passion and drive many U.S. service members had during that time, along with the Allies. “We had people faking their birth certificates to get into the military to serve their country,” said Fluent. At each vantage point visited, the battlefield was laid out for everyone, to include positions of Allies and enemy forces. “Everybody has a role to fill and even though you may be individuals, each individual brings something to the party that the other doesn’t,” said Chief (select) Intelligence Specialist Jeremy Anderson, from U.S. Naval Forces EuropeAfrica/ U.S. 6th Fleet. “You can be a lot stronger and more effective as one cohesive unit.” After visiting the Polish Cemetery at Monte Cassino and listening to accounts of the fighting for Hill 593, a few participants said they didn’t realize some of the detailed contributions other countries had, including the Polish who had traveled all the way down from Russia and were fighting for their homeland. “Different places are impor-

tant to different people at different times,” said Bohnsack. “The Polish come down here because it’s now a part of their history; part of their history is embedded in Cassino. Just the same thread that part of our history is embedded in Northern France and at the cemetery at Anzio.” “I think you really appreciate the sacrifice of your forebearers, because it becomes real at that point,” said Bohnsack. “Other than a story you read in a book, now you can walk the battlefield, you can see the abbey, you can visit the places you’ve only read about.” The CPO 365 Phase II trip finished with a visit to the Abbey of Monte Cassino, which was bombed heavily by the Allies during World War II and turned into a “muddle of dust.” Chief selects and chief petty officers took time to discuss their thoughts on the trip and provide examples of how lessons learned during World War II are still practical today. “The Rapido River crossing, just hearing that story and how they had to overcome,” said Chief (select) Cryptologic Technician (Networks) Victoria Redden, from U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/ U.S. 6th Fleet, when asked about the part of the trip that had the greatest impact. “The many, many acts of courage it took to cross that river, even as people were falling all around them; they just had to keep pushing and pushing to try and get through.” The main topic going into the CPO 365 Phase II trip was to not learn about history, but to learn from history.

Energy Conservation Energy Efficient Windows From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Consumers can lower electrical bills by switching to energy-efficient windows. Energy-efficient window technologies are based on solar controls and low-emissivity coatings. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has discovered a new method to reduce heat gain in the home. The lab has created a Universal Smart Window Coating that gives occupants the ability to independently control how much heat and light enters a home through its windows. This can reduce the need for both air conditioning and artificial lighting, thus potentially lowering utility bills. Low-cost tip: Consider installing medium-colored draperies with white-plastic backings -- an improvement that could reduce heat gains by 33 percent.

Focus on Prevention: Strategies for Shaping Healthy Habits By Ms. Wendy Amaro, USNH Naples Health Promotions Manager

Much of your daily life is set around habits, structures, and patterns. Think about it. Most of us wake up around the same time each day, eat a relatively similar breakfast (or skip it all together), and our daily habits continue on from there. Habits can be helpful or hurtful to what you would like to achieve in both the short and long term. You may have experienced it before. You set out to change your habits in the form of a New Year’s Resolution and try to start or increase some things, or limit or stop others. For example, you may try to start or increase a habit of eating better, exercising more, getting at least seven hours of sleep, or flossing daily. You may try to stop or limit your habits of smoking, eating junk foods, drinking soda, or alcohol use. Our resolutions are usually already broken just a few days or possibly weeks after we make them. Habits aren’t easy to change, unless you know some of the tricks of the trade. Here are some practical, reallife strategies to help you get started.

Tip 1: Be Aware To make behaviors habitual, you need to repeat them or practice them frequently. To start a new habit or end a bad habit, you need to be aware of why you’re doing it and what your thoughts are surrounding it. For example, if you don’t floss but you want to change that habit, consider why you don’t floss.

Tip 2: Start Small Rather than starting big, start small and be specific. When we make a goal to “eat healthier,” it can be easy to push it off until tomorrow because it seems vague and perhaps a little daunting. Try to find a healthy activity that will make you say “I can do that,” and then try it out. Maybe for you that means drinking water with one meal a day. Or maybe it means adding one serving of vegetables to your regular dinner.

Tip 3: Set Up Reminders Stay on top of your new habits by setting up reminders, such as written notes, a physical reminder (placing a piece of fruit in your lunchbox, floss next to your bathroom sink, a water bottle on your desk), or a calendar reminder on your phone or email.

Tip 4: Track Your Progress Maintain awareness of your progress and keep yourself motivated by writing down what you’ve done or checking off items on a planner. Use whatever method is easiest and most convenient for you, whether it’s on your phone, a piece of paper, or a spreadsheet. Tracking your progress will reinforce the change, keep you accountable, and remind you of how far you’ve already come.

Tip 5: Stopping A Habit, Fill the Void If you’re trying to quit a bad habit, it’s helpful to replace that habit with something else, preferably a healthy alternative. For example, if you’re trying to cut back on screen time (TV, phone, gaming device or computer), try replacing it with a healthy activity such as walking or joining a team sport. Replacing a bad habit with a good one is much easier than stopping a bad habit cold-turkey.

Tip 6: Start A Friendly Competition One of humanity’s greatest motivators is a friendly competition. Challenging your friends and relatives to healthy competitions makes being healthy fun, provides social support, and helps keep you accountable.

Tip 7: Reward Yourself Rather than beating yourself up for not perfectly meeting your goals, try rewarding yourself for what you were able to accomplish. Every step, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. Rewarding yourself for what you do accomplish, and not dwelling on what you don’t accomplish keeps your focus positive. Remember the goal is progress not perfection! Want To Get Started? Try the Health Promotion and Wellness (HPW) Department’s 1-5-7 Wellness of the Day (WOD) August Challenge, which is built on these strategies. The 1-5-7 challenge refers to 1 - Floss at least once daily, 5 - Eat your daily number of servings from the 5 food groups, and 7 - Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night. The challenge starts off small, but by the end of the month, you’ll be forming healthy habits of things you never thought you had time for. For more information on this challenge check out the Health Promotions website at: http://www.med.navy.mil/sites/ napoli/Pages/HealthPromotions/index.html and see how easy it is to start building healthy habits today!

In the Spotlight CDR CYNTHIA SHALOM Cmdr. Cynthia Shalom reported to the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples Dental Clinic in August 2011 to provide comprehensive periodontal care to our beneficiaries.

TANYA DALTON Tanya Dalton worked for ITT this summer through the Teen Center's Summer Hire Program. The program's purpose is to expose teenagers to the adult work environment and spur thought on future career paths. During her work with ITT, Tanya escorted tours and experienced more of Italy. She created the majority of the ITT advertisements seen on base and also created videos posted on Facebook and the mwritt.org website. She even gave a short presentation to approximately 60 newcomers during a recent Area Orientation course. "It's a wonderful feeling to see something you created advertised, and know that it helps people experience more of their surroundings.” In addition to working for ITT, she has previously worked for Youth Sports and is very involved with the community through clubs such as Project Armor, Keystone and National Honor Society.

Tuition Assistance Policy Changing in FY-15 From Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs Office

Effective immediately, commanding officers and officersin-charge may approve waivers to the one-year requirement that Sailors must be on board their first permanent duty station (PDS) to be eligible for Tuition Assistance (TA), according to NAVADMIN 190/14 released Aug. 21. In addition to command triad waiver approval, Sailors must meet all existing requirements for participation eligibility. The NAVADMIN also detailed changes to the grade and fee TA policy for courses stating after Oct. 1 to align with recent Department of Defense TA policy changes. Successful course completion

will be defined as a grade of "C" or higher for undergraduate courses, a "B" or higher for graduate courses, and a "Pass" for "Pass/Fail" classes must be attained to avoid reimbursement of TA funding. Reimbursement will also be required from Sailors who don't make up a grade of "I" (incomplete) by the educational institutions' deadline or six months after the completion of the class, whichever comes first. Also changing Oct. 1, only tuition directly related to the course of instruction - and not including fees - will be paid with TA funds. Fees no longer covered by TA include equipment, supplies, books/materials, exams, admissions, registration, fines and costs associated with distance learning.

These changes align the Navy's policy with Department of Defense Instruction 1322.25 for Voluntary Education (VOLED) programs covering policies for service members' use of TA. "Historically, more than 85 percent of Sailors satisfactorily complete and pass their undergraduate and/or graduate level classes; this is a tribute to the focus and dedication of the Sailors using VOLED programs," said Ernest D'Antonio, the Center for Personal and Professional Development's (CPPD) Navy VOLED program director. In Fiscal Year 2013, approximately 89 percent of courses paid for by TA were successfully passed, with 72 percent of those courses resulting in an "A" or "B" grade, according to D'Antonio. Sailors not successfully completing courses using TA must reimburse the Navy for TA funds.

In the event of an emergency or to report a crime, please call the Emergency Dispatch Center at 081-568-4911 or 5911.

Sailors working on a college degree should ensure their school's accreditation type supports their educational and professional goals.

The American Soccer Club (ASC) of Napoli sponsored a week-long AC Milan Youth Soccer Camp at Naval Support Activity Naples, Aug. 11 – 15. “I wanted to offer the kids a uniquely Italian experience,” said Brian Quirk, ASC president. “One of the aims of ASC is to provide kids with opportunities to experience things they may not see in the U.S. While soccer camps exist back home, AC Milan’s approach is unique to Italy and I wanted to share that with the kids.” ASC Naples provides an opportunity for youth players to improve their individual soccer skills in a competitive, international training environment under the tutelage of experienced trainers. The AC Milan Youth Soccer Camp is an internationally recognized youth soccer organization that welcomes campers from around the world and is open to boys and girls seven to 17 years old. AC Milan has been conducting these camps for more than 15 years. The camp involved intense training aimed at providing kids a unique experience centered on playing football (soccer). The camp consisted of twice-a-day practices with recreational activities held in between. The AC Milan coaching team in Naples consisted of Otello Di

While the thought of teachers on summer break may evoke images of beaches and barbecues with family and friends, that’s only part of the story. There’s also professional development and reviewing last year's lessons for what worked and how to make what worked better and preparing to teach something we've taught for years in new, dynamic ways. Not a single teacher I know spends their entire summer just “chillaxing.” It is a time for us to hone our craft, embrace new technology and generally become excited all over again to meet the needs and challenges of the next group of students. Sometimes that means missing out on a few barbecues, but we hope the sacrifice of time and resources makes us better teachers and that our students will ultimately reap the benefit. I spent three weeks of my summer along the banks of the Thames River, soaking up the history and culture of London and learning how to make Shakespeare accessible to my students. I was one of 24 candidates selected to participate in "Teaching Shakespeare through Performance" program at The Globe Theater. We engaged in workshops for movement and voice taught by theater professionals. We explored different ways to examine the text and learned how we could help our students discover the clues Shakespeare wove into his poetry and plays. We observed Globe practi-

tioners - freelance actors and directors - facilitate workshops for school-age children. They sent us on a scavenger hunt throughout London looking for various representations of Shakespeare's image and asked us to consider how he himself would have liked to be remembered. We explored their library with extensive resources about costumes, music and Shakespeare performances that date back hundreds of years. We were also able to speak with a musician and see firsthand the instruments they use in performances and meet a costume designer who showed us the elaborate hand-stitched costumes and learned how complicated the wardrobe and scene changes for actors can be. We were treated to three live performances of “Holy Warriors,” "Julius Caesar" and "Antony and Cleopatra.” We observed how all of the elements we'd been studying came together to create something greater than all its parts - the magic of the theater. We then took everything we'd learned and performed our own adaptation of "Julius Caesar" on The Globe’s stage. Standing and performing Shakespeare on the The Globe’s stage was an experience I will treasure all my life. I’m excited to incorporate all these experiences into rigorous and relevant lessons for the students of Naples High School while teaching full year Shakespeare elective.

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.

A Military Tour of London By MC1 David R. Krigbaum, Navy Public Affairs Support Element East – Detachment Europe

Sometimes I just want to see really big guns. And Winston Churchill. And castles. And enemy artillery melted down into monuments to the victor’s everlasting glory. Then I want to drink tea. Luckily, London can oblige in all these areas and more. As the heart of a globe-spanning empire that has fought or ruled over much of the planet, London has more than its share of military museums and memorials. One can’t walk around Westminster without seeing a reminder of the empire and its leaders, nor the many who died making that empire. They’re as common as Starbucks in Seattle, but infinitely classier. So on my last trip to London I made it a point to seek out and visit as many military sights as I could, which in London can be a trip to itself. Before visiting, I did my research to find out what was there to see, where those things were, the distance between them, and the best way to get around to make the most of my limited time in a city with limitless sightseeing potential. The Churchill War Rooms, located under the Treasury Building and just off Parliament Square, can be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Originally the Cabinet War Rooms, it was a converted basement that was later fortified for additional bomb defense. From 1938-1945 it was used as a secret bunker by the government and military in the defense of Britain for World War II. At war’s end it was closed like a bunkersized time capsule. The museum, like other Imperial War Museum sites, has an informative audio tour that walked me through its corridors and rooms. This

place differed from most museums in that the museum itself is an artifact, preserved as it was while in service 70 years ago. The halls have dim lighting and hand-painted signs that warn of today’s weather and daily schedules - similar to a Navy ship where there’s no ceiling overhead but exposed pipes and girders. Original equipment, furniture and fixtures populate the rooms. The map room was a real highlight, as the giant wall map is the same one that was used throughout the war to plot the movement of British convoys. Walking down the hall of the map room, I heard period music played and was occasionally interrupted by Prime Minister Winston Churchill giving a speech. Also in the War Rooms is a museum on the life of Winston Churchill with many interactive displays and artifacts. Though not necessarily made for them, it’s the most kidfriendly area with its touchscreen displays and games. Just down the street from the War Rooms is the small Household Cavalry Museum. It’s the unit’s own museum so it stands apart from other museums in that all the artifact displays use the personal “we” and “us,” in lieu of more neutral language. “We fought at Waterloo and captured this standard,” for example. Its

artifacts range from their 1661 founding to their recent Afghanistan deployment. The museum is part of the actual cavalry building, Horse Guards, and is built in the stable, half of which still has horses in it, though they’re separated from the museum by glass so the troopers can be observed while handling the animals. It was a quick museum to visit and provided a unique look into the history of Britain’s senior-most military regiment. The light cruiser HMS Belfast is the best museum ship I’ve ever visited. A World War II and Korean War veteran, Belfast has a lot of history and just as importantly on a museum ship, a lot of open decks and spaces to visit. Nine decks from the bridge to the engine room are open and the spaces are decked out as if it was still 1945. A nice touch I’ve not seen in other museums was the addition of scent to certain spaces- I smelled that weird antiseptic odor of the medical department before entering and the bakery is both warmer inside and smells of fresh bread. Like the War Rooms, it uses an audio tour and there are few placards to clutter up the ship, which added to that feeling of being on an actual cruiser and not a museum. Besides static displays, some spaces also contain interactive features and help explain how

Belfast functioned. Walking through the fire and engine rooms gave a far better explanation of how a ship’s power plant works than engineering walkthroughs on an activeduty ship. One display is inside an aft 6” gun turret while a video display explains Belfast’s role in fighting the German battle cruiser Scharnhorst. The overall well-preserved state of Belfast and location on the River Thames beside the Tower Bridge and across from the Tower of London make the cruiser a great place to take photos from. Belfast was a high point of my trip to London. The Tower of London, which is a misnomer as it’s actually a castle, gets a bad reputation for its ridiculously long lines. Personally I refuse to stand in them on principle. That’s why I show up at opening. The tourist crowds don’t show up until about eleven, which means the early riser has the place to himself for two hours. Even if it was just a castle the tower would be worth the visit. Its oldest part, the White Tower, dates back to the 1060s and the castle as a whole is very photogenic. But it’s not just a pretty photo op; the castle also has a lot going on inside with museums and multiple tours that kept me busy for six hours. I took the tour with a Beefeater, one of the Yeoman Warders, who gave a very informative and entertaining telling of the tower’s story. The Beefeaters are an interesting lot as they are all retired military with over twenty years of service and live with their families inside the tower’s walls. Afterwards I went to see the Crown Jewels, which at 10 a.m. had no line to get in. Not only were the Crown Jewels there, but also many of the older crowns, jewelry and golden doodads of royalty. The only downside is that the jewels are under Royal Copyright, so no photography of them is allowed. By the time I left the Jewels, the infamous line had formed, one which looked like it would take an hour to get through. Other enjoyable visits I had inside the tower were the Fusilier Museum, which was

similar in style to the Household Cavalry and the White Tower. The White Tower is all about arms and armor. The first floor houses the “Line of Kings,” an exhibit that’s been at the Tower for three centuries. It features the many armors of British kings, both practical and ceremonial, mounted on horseback against a backdrop of captured French armor. Every suit was unique to its wearer, some were gilded and had elaborate engravings worked into them, which meant that even though there was lots of armor to see, it never felt repetitive. Upstairs was a collection of weapons gifted to the monarchs from around the world and included a complete set of samurai armor and katanas that are the nicest I’ve seen outside of Japan. Highlights of the Tower, besides being in a nearly 1,000-year-old castle keep, were a room-sized dragon made of weapons and an armory with rows upon rows of swords, pikes, muskets and pistols, enough to outfit a sizeable force of soldiers. Beside the jewels, there are several other self-guided tower tours, but as the day went on I spent more time seeing less and less as it became clogged with tourists and I left after six hours. I’d seen most of it, but there’s still enough I haven’t seen to merit a second trip. I did miss the torture chamber after all. While transiting to or from the tower from the Tower Hill underground station, it’s a good idea to take a moment and visit the Tower Hill Memorial. It was built after World War I in memory of the thousands of merchant mariners who died. Later it was expanded to include World War II. It was touching to see the rows of piled red poppy wreaths all along the memorial wall. Walking around London there is no doubt more military history to be discovered. Even with the planning I did ahead of my trip, just walking from point to point I came across many random monuments and found some of these museums, like the Household Cavalry. So stay alert, you never know what you’ll find.
