Support Site Cleanup By MC2 Josh Bennett, Navy Public Affairs Support Element-East Detachment Europe
The Naples Area Second Class Petty Officer Association (NASCPOA) coordinated a base cleanup at the Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples Support Site Wednesday evening in an effort to keep their base clean. “We wanted to do something to help bring the community together,” said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Marvin Holden, NASCPOA member and event coordinator. “The more volunteer help we can get during events like this, the more we can do to help our community.” Gloves and trash bags were handed out to the volunteers who showed up to support the effort. After the group handed out the supplies, they broke off into groups and began picking up trash all over the base. See CLEANUP Page 6

Stevens. "Our goal is to make first classes the best leaders they can be." MCPON is relying heavily on the CPO mess to keep training fresh and keep their 1st classes interested by making the training productive and ensuring everyone continues to develop their leadership skills. "If the program is on autopilot, and just continues to repeat itself every year, well then yes, I can see how it would lose interest quickly," said Stevens. "But this process should never be done. A chief should be read in on the ins and outs of every opportunity the Navy provides, or at least know exactly how to obtain that information. In this regard, CPO 360 should never run short of topics." As far as the final phase of CPO 365 goes, Stevens has outlined his expectations. There will be no alcohol during any interactions between chiefs and first classes. No one will be asked to cross dress or be forced to eat or drink anything. Profanity and behavior that demeans another person will not be accepted. No exceptions.
And the final night, rumored to last right up to the pinning ceremony the following day, will now be limited to a maximum of 18 hours and start at 6 a.m. the day before pinning. What Stevens isn't doing is telling commands how to run their final event. "I have given the guidance as well as the guidelines," said Stevens. "Now it is up to each command to provide the best quality training they can within those parameters. I have to leave room for each command's specific challenges. What might work for a shore command, may not work for a sea command." However, Stevens is making one thing crystal clear. For commands that push the limits, do not stay within the guidelines, leadership will be held accountable. "Although the process has evolved throughout the years, the pride a Sailor feels and the opportunities that advancement brings should never be downplayed," said Stevens. "It is not just a two month program that makes a first class a chief, it is a mindset that aligns with our Navy core values, and with CPO 365, that mindset will always be in place."
In a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Naples, Capt. Marc A. Stern relieved Capt. Wesley R. Guinn as Commander, Task Force (CTF) 69, July 26. The guest speaker, Vice Adm. Frank C. Pandolfe, commander of U.S. 6th Fleet, reflected on Guinn’s many accomplishments during his tour, including his in-depth work on the undersea antisubmarine warfare program. “Wes reinvigorated our undersea activities with traditional allies and he transformed our operations by working with new partners to ensure our nation remains confident in our ability to provide undersea security in a highly-integrated globalized age,” said Pandolfe. Guinn, who is transferring to 5th Fleet, reflected on his time while serving as the commodore for CTF 69 from February 2012 to July 2013, and thanked his Sailors for the opportunity to lead them. "I'm honored and privileged to have had the opportunity to lead such a fine team with a continuing tradition of success," said Guinn. CTF 69’s new commander, arriving from Joint Staff ’s Force Structure, Resources, and Assessment Directorate, J8, praised his Sailors for the work they do. "I'm humbled to be following in Capt. Guinn's footsteps,” said Stern. “I could not have been more impressed in these last couple of weeks by your professionalism, your competence, and your energy. What you do, day in and day out, is incredibly important to our national security. It is truly my privilege and honor to serve with you." CTF 69 is responsible for planning and coordinating area submarine and antisubmarine warfare operations in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

CPO 365 Enters Its Next Phase From Defense Media Activity As eligible petty officers 1st class wait with baited breath to find out if their names will be on the chief petty officer advancement list, the CPO community also waits. It waits to see how the first year under the CPO 365 program will ultimately play out. With "induction" no longer in their vocabulary, CPO 365 - a yearly, yearlong program that prepares every first class for what will be expected of them as a chief - has become the way ahead.

But this isn't the first time a name change has promised a program change. Initiation, Transition, Induction, Chiefs in Training, and now CPO 365 - the process of becoming a chief has been named and renamed. What makes this time different is that even petty officers who aren't selected for advancement will continue to participate. "Where it is possible - where it makes sense - all first classes should be included in the training," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Michael D.

Captain’s Corner As I hope the community is already well aware, Tuesday, Aug. 6 is National Night Out at Support Site. This annual event gives us all an opportunity to support our security and law enforcement personnel—both within our own staff and the surrounding community at large. We also invite Italian law enforcement aboard for the evening to demonstrate our appreciation for their service, and gain a better understanding of the part we play in our own safety and security. One very important component of NNO this year is our planned earthquake drill, scheduled for 5:15 p.m., shortly before the actual event kicks off. Everyone on Support Site should have had a flyer taped to their door last week, informing them of the drill. We plan to couple this with a new AFN alert system, which will allow us to broadcast the start of the drill across all AFN and SkyNet channels on your home TV. Take advantage of this time to speak with your families about earthquake and disaster preparedness to include the steps you would take during an earthquake. Discuss your family plan during a disaster, where your meeting point is after you evacuate your home in case you are apart during the event, how will you communicate with one another, where your family’s emergency preparedness kit is and what it contains. Show your family what procedures to follow and how to execute the Drop, Cover and Hold On procedure. After completing the drill with your loved ones, go to your family’s meeting place before making your way to the parade route, where the kids will have a chance to grab some candy from the fire trucks. From there, follow the procession to the main event—and a free great cookout! There will be a brief presentation of emergency preparedness and lots of displays of security and law enforcement equipment, etc. The Fire Station will have their bounce house and there will be plenty to do for everyone. The NNO provides an opportunity for us to come together as a community and gain awareness of disaster preparation, emergency response, safety and security. One way I try to keep everyone up to date, outside of these annual events and weekly columns, is via quarterly town halls— one of which we held just a couple of weeks ago. One subject which came up then, and I want to reiterate now as we head into August, is the increasing impact of the hiring freeze and sequester-mandated furloughs on our daily operations. We are currently at approximately 74 percent civilian manning, and with the hiring freeze and furloughs, this means the likelihood of future impacts grows everyday as we continue to lose people through normal attrition but are unable to hire them back. Thus far we have been able to avoid impacts to the community. However, the longer we go, the more likely we will see impacts on services around the base. Rest assured, we will endeavor to avoid impacts if at all possible. Please be aware of the growing difficulties we are facing at the base level and I ask for your understanding should services be curtailed due to manning shortages. We are going to be focusing on mission-critical areas. There will probably be drawdowns in service and longer wait times as we attempt to balance the necessary with the needs of the community. Please bear these things in mind if you find services unexpectedly unavailable or facilities closed on a day they should be open. There may simply be no one to come in. Despite fiscal setbacks, we continue to have much to celebrate in our vibrant community. I hope to see you all next Tuesday as we come together for National Night Out. Until then, have a great weekend!

Pollution and Vibrations Cause Concern for Colosseum The street alongside the historic Roman Forum has been blamed over the decades for causing damage to surrounding structures, such as the Colosseum, because of pollution and vibration. This stretch of road in Rome’s Via dei Fori Imperiali was built by dictator Benito Mussolini between 1924 and 1932 to link the Roman Imperial Forum and the Colosseum to his office in Palazzo Venezia. The road will be banned to vehicles starting from 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, marking a revolution in mobility for Rome’s historic center. The road will be open to pedestrians at 7 p.m. on Saturday for 'Notte dei Fori' (Forum Night), an evening of shows and concerts held to celebrate the boulevard's urban rebirth. Rome's new mayor claimed that banning private vehicles from the downtown artery would slash traffic by 90 percent. On Sunday, starting at 7 p.m., public transportation, taxis and emergency vehicles will also be allowed back onto the part of road closest to the Colosseum. The plan will still allow cyclists like the mayor, who has made a habit of commuting to work by bike.
Women in Prison Participate in Fashion Project Women in prison are participating in a non-profit initiative to produce a fashion brand. It is being run by the correctional facility of the department of the Ministry of Justice and supported by Fendi heiress. The proj-
ect is the first of its kind in Italy and aims to help detainees acquire rehabilitation skills, such as stitching and beading, that they can then use when they leave prison. Prisoners will make T-shirts, handbags, sweatshirts, caps, tablecloths, napkins, runners, hand towels, aprons and bracelets. Prisoners participate in the project on a voluntary basis and receive a small monthly salary, which they can spend on hygiene products and food in prison, or send to their families.
Luxury Speedboat Begins Sinking Because of Toilet Tap On Wednesday, a luxury speedboat about 18 meters long left the port of Sorrento with a group of young Polish youths on board. During the night, they moored the boat off the port of Meta and headed in with a tender. The boat began to sink rapidly in the morning while the “Soccorso Amico” and the Coast Guard headed to relief and noticed there was nobody on the boat. It appeared that before leaving the hull, someone left the toilet tap open and this caused the water to come out throughout the night. The owners probably stayed in one of the many hotels in Meta and were unaware of the lost.

tious contracts based on minimum sales quotas, but in reality were paid a low hourly wage. The company opened in May 2012 and had paid more than 80,000 euros in wages over six months without making tax or pension contributions of any sort. Employees didn’t have a letter of employment, a formal contract, nor did they sign payment receipts. The owner saved more than 40,000 euros in social security benefits. He faces administrative fines between 72,725 and 644,330 euros.
Rare 273-Year-Old Balsamic Vinegar Earns High Points Two years ago, a gourmet grape reduction of Modena’s prized balsamic vinegar was found along with a handwritten note inside an 18th-century chest inherited by a Modenese family. The vinegar ampoule is 273 years old. After many chemical tests, it was approved for an official taste to judge its texture, flavor and appearance. The consortium gave it 307 points. Tasters said they were stunned by its high quality given nearly 300 years of unaccounted for conservation records. The true Italian balsamic vinegar must age for a minimum of 12 years in a series of successively smaller barrels. Traditional balsamic vinegar is a breed apart from other vinegars, and it could taste in a different way such as paired with pork or Parmesan, sprinkled on rice dishes, dabbed on strawberries, trickled on creamy desserts or swallowed straight. The cost for bottles of balsamic aged for 25 years or more can go for hundreds of euros. This ampoule is not going on sale so far.

Energy Conservation Taking Green to the Extreme From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team An eco-architect from Brington, England thought up a project to build a home entirely out of second-hand materials. Duncan Baker-Brown was assisted by Cat Fletcher and David Pendergrass to create what is appropriately named “The Waste House.” The house is composed of items such as video cassettes, clothes, wall paper and even tooth brushes. Everything would have otherwise joined the approximate 47 million tons of trash sent to landfills every year. Each of the used items was tested individually for its insulating properties and suitability in the home. With a rising issue of construction materials being over ordered and often times simply thrown away, projects like this are good indicators of what can be done with a little bit of effort. After all, one mans trash is another mans, well, house.

“This is our house and it’s important for us to do what we can to keep it clean,” said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Douglas Doherty, assigned to U.S. Naval Hospital Naples. The base cleanup began at 6 p.m. and lasted until 8 p.m. After the cleanup was complete, water and popsicles were provided to the volunteers. The group said they were pleased with the turn out and is hopeful about the community’s response for future events like this.
“This is one of the little things we can do to help make this a better place,” said Holden. “We had a great response to this event and hope it will just continue to grow and will be able to do more and more for the people here.” The NASCPOA plans to have a base cleanup once a month. If you are interested in volunteering for events like this or are interested in getting involved with the NASCPOA, please contact HM2 Holden at DSN: 626-4690.

Fleet Beldo Talks About the Post-9/11 GI Bill Transfer Popular Option for Sailors and Families By MC2 Jonathan Sunderman, Defense Media Activity
The world's economy has fallen on uncertain times. Families are struggling to save money for emergencies, let alone retirement or college plans. It is for this reason that many joined the Navy, either anxious to pay off accrued college loans or looking to get an education without the huge price tag. However, for those who do not plan on using their college money for themselves, and whose only option in the past was to just let the money sit idly by, the option to transfer those educational benefits to a family member has become popular. In fact, since the Post-9/11 Bill became law, more than 75,000 requests have been processed. However, a small number of requests have been denied due to missed windows for transfer and errors in applications. Fleet Master Chief April Beldo discussed important tips on this program to ensure this small number of denied requests is eliminated. First, a Sailor must complete a minimum of six years of active service in order to be eligible for the transfer. "After you've served actively for six years you are now eligible to transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to your family members,” said Beldo.
“Service members automatically receive 100 percent of their education benefits after three years of service. However, family members will only be eligible after the service member has completed six years of service. After the transfer Sailors are required to serve an additional four years of service." If during that additional four year period a Sailor is sent home for any reason, the benefit will no longer transfer. "Sailors must apply and follow the correct process to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to their spouse, children or dependents," said Beldo. "For example, a petty officer first class has eighteen years in and decides they want to transfer their Post 09/11 GI Bill, they would not meet the right criteria because they would not be able to serve an additional four years of active duty service if they were already at the eighteen year mark," she continued. Beldo urges Sailors to take the time to understand the guidance provided for transfer of the Post9/11GI Bill benefits and carefully follow the process to ensure their family receives the benefits that service members expect. Career Counselors can help service members through the process and help answer questions. Sailors can also find information on the Navy Personnel Command website at www.npc. navy.mil. Click on Career Info, then Education, and select GI Bill in the left panel. For additional information, Sailors are encouraged to call NPC's customer service desk at 1-800-UASK NPC.
CPO Selectees Can Save on NEX Uniform Purchases By Kristine M. Sturkie
Chief petty officer (CPO) selectees can pay for newly-required Navy uniforms using the MILITARY STAR® Card and receive a five percent credit on their next statement showing the purchase of CPO uniforms. The special offer is good at any NEX Uniform Shop worldwide, but not for uniform purchases made online or through toll-free phone calls to the Uniform Sup-port Center. “Using the MILITARY STAR® Card lets CPO selectees charge their new uniforms like any-thing else in the NEX,” said Cmdr. Marcia Coleman, director of Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) Uniform Program Management Office. “It’s quick, easy and the new CPO selectee receives a five percent credit on their MILITARY STAR® Card.” Customers who open a MILITARY STAR® Card account will receive 10 percent off their first day’s purchases, including a uniform purchase. The 10 percent discount is also applied to the customer’s credit card statement.

Clapper presented the medals in front of a standing-room-only gathering of families, friends and shipmates. Day, a few days shy of his 29th birthday when he died, was a tactical communicator, and Strange, 25, was an information operations operator. Both were assigned within Naval special operations when they responded Aug. 6, 2011, to enemy forces escaping from a nearby raid in an enemy-contested valley of eastern Afghanistan, the award citations read. Knowing the valley served as an enemy safe haven with no sustained coalition force presence, and knowing that their mission was to interdict and ambush an armed enemy force, Day and Strange volunteered to pursue an enemy known to have attacked and killed coalition forces with plans for future attacks, the citations said. Both "selflessly chose to interdict the fleeing enemy when [they] boarded the helicopter with [their] teammates," the citations said, but the aggressive mission ended tragically when their helicopter was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, causing it to crash and killing all on board. Twenty-eight other Americans, eight Afghans and a military working dog were en route to assist an Army Ranger unit engaged in a firefight with Taliban forces west of the Afghan capital of Kabul, Clapper added. "For each of them, the courageous choice to ride to
the sound of gunfire was one they'd made many times before," he told the audience. The accident was the largest single loss of American life during the Afghanistan campaign and the greatest single loss of life ever suffered by the U.S. Special Operations community, Clapper said. The U.S. intelligence community looks up to Day and Strange for their heroism and for "setting the example for our entire community," Clapper said. "They served at an amazing nexus of the Navy, special operations and the intelligence community." Serving with the Navy SEALS, he added, Day and Strange were unique, elite and truly remarkable young men. "We continue to look to them as selfless examples of service to this great nation," Clapper said. "They were the best of us." Both men are now part of the history of this country, he said, calling them "a legacy of sacrifice toward something larger than just oneself." Sam Day and Karolyn Kimball Day of Salt Lake City received the medal for valor for their son. "He was just amazing," Elizabeth Kimball Day said of her son, adding that he was only 6 years old when he declared he wanted to join the Navy, and did so when he was 19. "He was always the funny one" she said. "He always got up with a smile, and went to bed with a smile. He always took the underdog under his wing." "[The National Intelligence Medal for Valor] is a great honor, and it shows how much Michael was appreciated," said Elizabeth Strange of Philadelphia, who accepted the medal on his behalf. Michael Strange also joined the Navy at a young age, his mother said, adding that she and Michael's father had to sign papers when he was 17 to allow him to go into the Navy when he graduated from high school at age 18. "It was a decision he made, and he was really determined," she added. Strange's family didn't believe he wanted to join the military at first. His mother said he wasn't one to arrive at school on time, but he scored very high on tests and was excited when the Navy told him about the jobs he could perform. "He meshed well with the Navy, [and] I couldn't believe it," his mother said. "He excelled at it."

answer to last week’s puzzle
Intersezione / Intersection
Getting hurt during a vacation or while PCSing is never fun, but getting stuck with the hospital bill just adds salt to the wound. Vacation and PCS season is now in full swing. During this time, many people head back to the United States for extended visits or their next duty station. Oftentimes it is thought that routine care can be taken care of while “back home” in America, but that is not necessarily true. The requirement to receive pre-authorization before seeking nonemergent care has been and continues to be TRICARE policy. It is important for TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) beneficiaries to understand this to avoid any unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses. Routine care and urgent care (i.e. care that needs to be seen within 24 hours) require preauthorization before treatment is rendered. In both cases, your primary care manager (PCM) will need to be contacted for a referral. Obtaining care before getting proper authorization will result in a denied claim and point-of-service charges for the beneficiary. Generally, routine care is not authorized while a TOP Prime enrollee is outside their Prime Service Area. It is recommended that routine care be completed before leaving the Naples area or upon return from the trip. Only under unusual circumstances – and on a case-by-case basis – will routine care be considered for authorization stateside. In these situations, care must be coordinated with your medical team well in advance of leaving the area.
If you are transitioning to your next duty station, you will remain enrolled with your current PCM until you’re assigned a new on at your new duty station. Should anything come up during this transition period, you should contact your PCM for non-emergent care concerns. The basic rule of thumb is if routine care can be obtained in the local network where you are enrolled, it should be received in that network – not outside of it. Emergency care does not require a pre-authorization, but beware there are new kinds of “Emergency Centers” popping up in the United States, which may not be a TRICARE-covered facility. Free-standing emergency rooms that are not affiliated with a hospital may not be authorized. If a provider is not authorized, then TRICARE is prohibited from paying the “facility fees.” This can leave a beneficiary stuck with a big bill. It would be prudent to “know before you go” and check a free-standing ER’s TRICARE status – before emergency care is needed. This can be done by calling the TRICARE contractor in that region. Beneficiaries who seek care at a free-standing ER need to ask if the facility is affiliated with a hospital-based emergency department. If it isn’t, the beneficiary will need to make a decision about getting care elsewhere or being responsible for the facility charges. You should always contact the TOP Regional Call Center for guidance when care is required while away from your PCM. The number for the Europe Call Center is +44-20-8762-8384. If you are stateside, the toll-free number is 1-877-6781207.

First school year of Club Beyond here in Naples ran without a hitch. Weekly programs, special activities, and exciting trips have prepared our Club Beyond program to add a third gear to its engine. Better than a third gear, the engine itself has been redesigned for this upcoming school year. The major changes are taking part within the weekly activities. On Thursdays, We will run Club Beyond Junior and Club Beyond Senior. Our CB Junior will be a youth meeting exclusively for our 7th and 8th graders, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Teen Center. Club Beyond Senior will follow on Thursdays, but from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Community Center. This last meeting will be exclusively for our 9th-12th graders. Club Beyond will also introduce an activity called “BEYOND Club.” This activity will take place on Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and be open to all students in grades 7-12 at the Fellowship Hall on Support Site. This last meeting is geared for small groups, accountability, and to those students wanting a deeper experience. Three weekly activities will be in addition to two fall youth retreats and our teen-favorite
snowboarding and skiing trip to Austria during New Years Eve! Ready to join our program? This upcoming week we will kick-off our CB Naples school year with two trips to Magic World here in Licola. The first trip will be on Aug. 5 for our CB Junior and Aug. 8 for CB Senior. Did I mention that it is Free for the first 12 students to sign up? Exactly, I can’t think of a better way to beat the heat than with a day trip to Magic World/Aqua Park. Keep up with our fall calendar and everything Club Beyond related by finding us on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/cbnaples or by contacting the Community Director Arturo Paulino at apaulino@clubbeyond.org. Club Beyond is a command-sponsored, nondenominational program that organizes youth activities and trips for spiritual development, encouragement of positive values, and community service projects.
