Names of Sailors selected to advanced to chief petty officer by the fiscal year 2016 E-7 selection board are scheduled to be posted to commands’ BUPERS Online (BOL) accounts August 5, with public release via NAVADMIN August 6 at 5 p.m. (11 a.m. ET). Approximately 4,100 quotas were announced in June with an overall advancement opportunity of 23.64 percent for this cycle, just a .45 point drop from last cycle and above the 10-year average of 21.94 percent. The selection board is not required to fill all quotas; only the best and most fully qualified candidates are selected for advancement to chief. Because the Navy advances to vacancies, opportunity varies by rating, though advancement planners work to smooth overall opportunity across cycles.

U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency have capabilities critical to helping the nation’s public- and privatesector entities during and even before a cyberattack, but both agencies need partners to do so, Navy Adm. Mike Rogers said recently. Rogers, commander of Cybercom and director of NSA, was speaking July 24 at the annual Aspen Security Forum in Aspen, Colorado, during a discussion moderated by David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for the New York Times. The admiral also took questions from the audience on war, crime and security in cyberspace. Cybercom is especially interested in trends in cyberattacks and cybercrime – even those occurring in the private sector – because the U.S. government has designated 16 areas in the private sector that have implications for the nation’s security, Rogers said. These include energy, transportation, financial services, food supplies and communications, and may be especially vulnerable to cyberattack because they use open-source software or hardware, third-party utilities and interconnected networks, according to the Congressional Research Service.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

We’re in the middle of the summer PCS season and over the last month we’ve said arrivederci to many of our friends and bon giorno to many newcomers to our community. For those just arriving, I welcome you to Naples and the Naval Support Activity family, and look forward to seeing you at some of our upcoming events. Working overseas is a rewarding and sometimes challenging experience. Establishing a solid support network to help you is essential. NSA Naples has numerous resources to help newcomers and seasoned residents alike, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions. The city of Naples itself is a treasure trove of history with artifacts and structures dating back to the original Greek settlements. Just visiting the museums, theaters and restaurants of Naples and the local area could fill your entire tour, not to mention visiting the amazing isles just off the coast. After getting settled and comfortable in the local area, consider planning a European vacation. Just around the corner from the Capo front gate is the Naples International Airport, with many direct flights for weekend getaways. Please utilize our free and safe parking at the Capo west parking garage. If you’re not sure where to go, make your first trip to the ITT office or the USO to find information on structured tours available. Last Thursday, July 23rd, NCTS Naples put together a trash pickup event on the Support Site led by their Commanding Officer, Capt. Reece Morgan and Command Fitness Leader Carter Hollingsworth. Command volunteers and family members collected 70 bags of trash! I would like to send a personal thank you to NCTS for having the initiative, and taking the time to give back to the community and promote a clean environment that we can all be proud of. BRAVO ZULU. I appreciate everyone’s involvement in making our base a place where we are proud to live, and I look forward to many future event events that focus on supporting our community. With August begins the European summer vacation season and the exodus of many Italians to see family abroad or to go to the beach. This means there will be less traffic, but it can also be difficult to find shops and restaurants open at convenient times. Be sure to plan ahead and know where the nearest pharmacy, grocery store, and other essential businesses that will be open for August are located. This low point in traffic also means the beginning of upgrade construction at our Entry Control Points for Capo and the Support Site. Pay close attention to the PAO Notes, the official NSA Facebook page, and radio shows for updates and schedules of construction. We ask that everyone have patience in the coming month and leave home early in the morning to compensate for unforeseen delays. As you enjoy the month of August, please keep safety in mind, and look out for each other as you go about your daily routines. Remember that it is a privilege to be a designated driver, and it is OK to slow down and drive the speed limit – especially on base!

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Downtown Naples Gets Facelift With Three New Murals Three large murals were inaugurated in Naples on Monday. The murals were painted on three buildings of a park in the Ponticelli district near an area of low-income housing, in which there has been fighting between clans from the Camorra criminal organizations in recent weeks. The first three murals were completed on Monday. Two Sicilian artists, Rosk and Loste covered the entire façade of a building with the faces of two young, happy boys playing football. A Neapolitan artist painted a Roma child’s face, and the second mural painted by Zedls, a well-known Italian street artist, depicts a puppet Pulcinella clinging to a joypad. Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris said the project “contributes to the recovery of neglected spaces and sends strong messages of integration to youth through the idea of play.” Artist Francesco Bosoletti painted an enormous Neapolitan siren on the front of an apartment building in Naples’ central area Mater Dei where its inhabitants formed an association to collect funds for the mural. Controne Mayor Outlaws Barking Dogs Nicola Pastore, the mayor of Controne, a small town in the province of Salerno issued an ordinance in which dog barking is forbidden during the Italian afternoon nap or riposo between 2 and 4 p.m. Dog owners face fines between 20 and 500 euros if their dogs bark during that time. There are similar moves to improve the welfare of the town’s dogs, such as dogs that are tied up now are required to have chains at least five meters long and access to food and water, and they do not have to be left alone in public spaces. Grande Hotel San Calogero, One of Italy’s Biggest White Elephants The construction of the Grande Hotel San Calogero in Sicily started more than 60 years ago and aimed to offer guests the chance to experience the nearby thermal baths with the best of Sicily. The construction of the hotel with its 300-beds and fivestories began in 1954, and construction soon began. Thirty years later, it was nearly complete, but in the early 1980s, there was a disagreement over who would manage the hotel. Over the next decade the hotel fell into ruin. Sicily’s regional au-

thorities decided to revamp it. In 1993 the hotel was ready to be opened and there was also an official opening. But unfortunately it was found out that after 40 years of work, the hotel was without a properly connected drainage system. In 2000, there were plans to finally connect the hotel’s drainage system to the town but work never started because the council forgot to ask for the funds. The Grande Hotel San Calogero can be considered as one of Italy’s biggest white elephants. Italian Military Police Arrest 13 ‘Fake’ Cops The Italian military police arrested a group of 13 robbers who posed as Carabinieri and Finance police using fake search warrants to gain entry to homes. The gang carried out eight robberies in Naples and Castelvolturno between March and December 2014. Carabinieri seized seven waistcoats with fake Carabinieri and finance police identification, a starter pistol and 10 fake police berets. The 13 robbers were charged with belonging to a criminal gang set up to carry out thefts and burglaries, using weapons illegally and pretending to be police officers. Europe’s Biggest Smart Phone Users Are Italians A recent study showed Italians to be the heaviest users of smartphones in Europe especially for chatting. The most popular messaging application is WhatsApp, which is currently used by 59.6 percent of Italian smartphone owners. The report showed that 61 percent of male and 65 percent of female smartphone owners use social networking sites on their mobile phones, compared to the EU average of 53 and 57 percent, respectively. Italians use social media not just for socializing but also to read news media compared to their European counterparts. According to the data, 55 percent of male and 51 percent of female smartphone owners read local or world news on their devices, compared an average of just 49 and 41 percent across the five countries surveyed. Currently, 60 percent of all Italians own a smartphone, but excessive smartphone use is associated with some health problems that can include vision loss, numb fingers, wrist strain and a spinal problem known as “text neck” caused by people continuously craning their necks to read messages on their phones, and above all Italian drivers taking a selfie of themselves while driving can be responsible for major accidents.

NAVY HISTORY: FIRST SHIP-BASED AERIAL RECONNAISSANCE ries at Sewell’s Point, Va., near the South Shore of Hampton Roads. By counting the number of campfires he was able to estimate the number of Confederate forces. A month later, Professor Thaddeus S.C. Lowe, the Union Army’s Chief Aeronaut, ascended to more than 1,000 feet near Arlington, Va., across the Potomac River from Washington. Lowe was tethered to the ground, and being tethered, was able to telegraph his reports – in real time – of the movements of the Confederate troop at Falls Church, Va., more than three miles away. An illustration of a Union reconnaissance balloon from Harper’sWeekly. Circa 1861. From NSA Public Affairs

Fought nearly a century following the Revolutionary War, the Civil War is considered by many historians to be the first modern war thanks to cutting-edge technology. Unlike the 1776 campaign, the Civil War was truly revolutionary in many ways: First use of mechanized transportation to move large numbers of troops (trains); first use of rapidfire guns (gatling guns); first use of electronic communications (telegraph); first use of photographs to document the war; first use of mechanized and iron-clad warships; first use of submarines; first use of torpedoes, mines and grenades; and first use of rifles and

scopes for specially-designed sniper rifles. Perhaps most revolutionary of all, was the first use of aerial reconnaissance (balloons). In July 1861 Aeronaut John LaMountain, of Wayne County, N.Y., had made a name for himself becoming the first American to make an aerial reconnaissance from a balloon at Fort Monroe, Va., and reporting on Confederate activity. A month later, on August 3, 1861, LaMountain made the first manned ascent in a balloon from a ship. Making a nighttime ascent to 2,000 feet above the James River, from the Union gunboat, Fanny, LaMountain was tasked with reporting on the numbers of Confederate artillery batte-

Aeronaut John LaMountain. Circa 1861.

Using Lowe’s intelligence, Union guns fired accurately on the Confederate forces — without the gunners being able to see the enemy; another first for the fledging Union Balloon Corps and another first in military history.

Navy Announces Command Senior Chief Rating From Chief of Naval Personnel

NAVADMIN 177/15, released July 29, by Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education) Vice Adm. W. F. Moran, establishes the Command Senior Chief (CMDCS) rating to provide earlier leadership opportunity for senior enlisted. Initial eligibility for conversion to the CMDCS Rating will be those active duty Sailors assigned the 9578 Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC). All future conversions to the CMDCS rating will be through the annual CMDCS administrative selection board. “The CMDCS rating strengthens the command leadership triad and provides our very best senior chiefs increased responsibilities in this rating while enabling greater levels of experience as they advance through the ranks,” MPT&E Fleet Master Chief April Beldo said. Sailors with a 9578 NEC must request conversion or decline conversion to the rating by submitting NAVPERS Form 1306/7 to the command master chief detailer, no later than Aug. 31, 2015. This is a one-time opportunity for those eligible to convert. Future conversion to the CMDCS rate will be automatic from the annual admin-

istrative selection board. Attendance at the Navy Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA) and completion of the command master chief (CMC)/chief of the boat (COB) course is required prior to reporting as a CSC. Although highly encouraged, Sailors holding the 9578 NEC do not have to convert to the CMDCS rating. Any CMDCS who does not successfully complete the SEA and CMC/COB course or those requesting not to convert will remain in the program until their projected rotation date (PRD), and will then be made available to their respective source rating detailer when in the detailing window. The new rating badge is expected to be available no later than Oct. 1, 2016. The CMDCS rating badge will follow the same design convention of the CMDCM rating badge with the exception of only one star will be centered at the top of the badge. Newly selected CMDCSs will continue to wear their current rating badge until their initial CMDCS assignment, after which they shall wear the CMDCS rating badge.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Energy ‘Biggest Loser’ Competition From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

The Biggest Loser competition has almost ended. The competition ends July 31, 2015. Yet, we are still competing. Next week in Panorama you can check the July five top biggest losers and the five worst savers for NSA Naples. We would like to remind readers that the grand prize is $70,000, and that 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 winning installation will be announced on August. Please don’t stop your efforts for Energy savings, please think: “Cheapest energy is the energy you never used.” Below some easy tips to follow to increase our energy efficiency: ● Turn off yours monitors: When leaving your workspace for a period longer than 20 minutes, turn off your monitor to conserve energy ● Turn off the lights: Turn off the lights in any area that is unoccupied as long as it does not pose a safety hazard (stairwells should probably remain lighted at all times) ● Turn off equipment: When leaving your office for the day power down all non-mission essential equipment. ● Turn off the coffee pot: Everyone likes hot coffee but there is no point in heating an empty pot. Turn off the coffee pot when not in use. ● Proper fan use: Fans cool people not the room. Turn off fans when you are away from the desk or office. ● Close doors and windows Keep doors and windows closed when the heat or A/C is on. ● Natural lights Open the curtains and shutters to let the sunlight shine through instead of using artificial lighting.

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.

to be turning to us to help defend it in the midst of a potential crisis and as a result we will generate capabilities that we could potentially apply, if directed, against portions of those 16 segments,” he said. The DoD Cybersecurity Strategy that Defense Secretary Ash Carter released in April quantifies the kinds of private-sector attacks DoD will respond to as “cyber events of significant consequence,” Rogers added, making the point that “the government is not signing up to” defend everything. In the end, the admiral said, “it is all about our ability to create partnerships. It is the ability of the private sector and the government to team together to generate better outcomes for the nation, not just for us but our allies as well.” Another important part of the strategy involves help from NSA.

Warnings and Indications “We have said that NSA will use its foreign intelligence mission to generate insights as to what key cyber actors around the world are doing,” Rogers said. The idea is to get ahead of the problem by getting insights at the point of origin rather than waiting for the attack, the admiral said. These insights could provide indications and warning to the government and the private sector before the attack originates, Rogers said. “This is what you’re going to see,” he said, referring to what NSA can tell a private-sector company that will share the right kind of data, “this is how you can best structure your defense to defeat it.” Between NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, Rogers said, “we try to do all of that with the private sector.” But he reminded the audience that Cybercom is just one part of a broader enterprise, naming the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI as two of the command’s biggest partners on cyber defense.

and guard U.S. networks – that’s not our mission,” Rogers said, “and it’s against the law … but on the other hand I do want to create a partnership where we’re able to share information with each other.” An example, he said, was the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack in November 2014 sponsored by North Korea. After the hack, Sony went to the U.S. government for help, he said, and the government determined that the hack was a criminal act. The FBI was designated as the lead agency, Rogers said, “and the FBI turns to NSA and says, ‘We could use your analytic help, will you partner with us in working with Sony?’” The admiral said Sony cooperated completely with the government during the investigation. “We said, ‘In order to generate the insights we need, here’s the kind of detail we need.’ Sony did everything we asked. We were able as a result to generate insights relatively quickly about what we were seeing,” he explained. But Rogers was frustrated with the situation. “This [cooperation] is great,” he said, “but the horse was out of the barn … Why can’t we have this kind of dialog prior to the attack?”

DoD Releases Report on Security Implications of Climate Change DoD News

Global climate change will aggravate problems such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions that threaten stability in a number of countries, according to a report the Defense Department sent to Congress on July 28. The Senate Appropriations Committee requested the report in conjunction with the Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015, asking that the undersecretary of defense for policy provide a report that identifies the most serious and likely climate-related security risks for each combatant command and the ways those commands integrate risk mitigation into their planning processes. Fragile States Vulnerable to Disruption The report finds that climate change is a security risk, Pentagon officials said, because it degrades living conditions, human security and the ability of governments to meet the basic needs of their populations. Communities and states that already are fragile and have limited resources are significantly more vulnerable to disruption and far less likely to respond effectively and be resilient to new challenges, they added. “The Department of Defense's primary responsibility is to protect national security inter-

ests around the world,” officials said in a news release announcing the report’s submission. “This involves considering all aspects of the global security environment and planning appropriately for potential contingencies and the possibility of unexpected developments both in the near and the longer terms. “It is in this context,” they continued, “that the department must consider the effects of climate change -- such as sea level rise, shifting climate zones and more frequent and intense severe weather events - and how these effects could impact national security.” Integrating ClimateRelated Impacts Planning To reduce the national security implications of climate change, combatant commands are integrating climate-related impacts into their planning cycles, officials said. The ability of the United States and other countries to cope with the risks and implications of climate change requires monitoring, analysis and integration of those risks into existing overall risk management measures, as appropriate for each combatant command, they added. The report concludes the Defense Department already is observing the impacts of climate change in shocks and stressors to vulnerable nations and communities, including in the United States, the Arctic, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America, officials said.

Sailors Kicking Habit, Navy Families, and Youth Must Face Misconceptions About ‘E-cigarettes’ By Lt. j.g. Daniel Mongiove Naval Submarine Base New London Public Affairs

Electronic cigarettes are having a tremendous, and potentially unsafe, impact on smokers. Enticing for Youth “E-cigs,” as they are known, as well as personal vaporizers (PVs) are essentially electronic nicotine delivery systems providing batterypowered doses of nicotine and other additives to the user in an aerosol. “We’re seeing a shift in what the view of smoking is becoming,” Lt. Cmdr. Michael Sracic, Public Health Department Head at Naval Branch Health Clinic Groton, said. “It’s been called the ‘renormalization’ of smoking behavior, and it’s due to public misconception from advertising out there of what this product actually is.” The flavors of electronic cigarettes are very enticing to a youth market Sracic said and “should be a major concern for all of us, especially parents.” Results from a national survey of United States students in grades 6 to 12 found that 44 percent of users of e-cigarettes intended to smoke conventional cigarettes, compared with 22 percent of never users.

“While this survey does not prove that e-cigarette use increases the desire to smoke conventional cigarettes, it does raise concerns that ecigarettes may be a gateway to nicotine dependence in our youth,” Sracic said. “This would greatly push back the efforts from the ‘smoke free’ campaign in the past decade.” Moreover, a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that an increasing number of calls related to e-cigarette use are being made to United States poison control centers. The study highlights that from a low of one such call per month to poison control centers in 2010, some 215 calls per month were made 2014. That is an increase from less than one percent to nearly 42 percent of all smoking-related calls received by poison control centers. “The nicotine in e-cigarette fluid poses a huge potential for accidental ingestion, especially by children,” said Sracic. “The typical 5 mL vial of e-cigarette liquid refill may contain a nicotine concentration of 100 mg/vial. The known lethal dose of nicotine is about 10 mg in children. E-cigarettes pose a critical risk in the hands of a child.”

Promoted as Helpful to Adults “There is no evidence that shows these products are safe to use over the long term or provide a physical difference in kicking a smoking addiction,” Sracic said. A recent study published by the University of Rochester and conducted by one of the university’s professors of Environmental Medicine in its School of Medicine and Dentistry, suggests that e-cigarettes could be a toxic replacement for tobacco products. The study purports that inhaled vapors from an e-cig may contain heavy metals and other possible carcinogens from the e-cigarette and its heating element. While not associated with the study, Sracic urges similar caution. “Until more is known about the long-term effects of e-cigs, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Cancer Association recommend steering clear of these devices,” advised Sracic. Considered Similar by Navy With so much still unknown about e-cigarettes and their impacts, the Navy and SUBASE view them fairly straightforwardly, points out SUBASE Safety Director Edgar Martinez. “With regulations responding to

studies that have linked cigarette use, smokeless tobacco use, and second-hand smoke to health problems and poor fitness, the Department of Defense and Navy have tightened rules around tobacco use and sales across the service and fleet,” Martinez said. Today, SECNAVINST 5100.13E, the Navy and Marine Corps Tobacco Policy, outlines the service’s do’s and don’ts. “With a few exceptions, such as personal housing units, tobacco use inside facilities is controlled by the tobacco policy,” Martinez said. “Currently, the Navy views tobacco products as cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, and smokeless tobacco. But as the FDA is seeking to extend its definition of a tobacco product to include electronic cigarettes, the Navy is treating them similarly.” For Sracic and Martinez, the FDA, DOD, and Navy guidance on tobacco and e-cigarettes all highlight one thing: potential health and safety risks.

History of Smokey Bear From the U.S. Forest Service and NSA Public Affairs

In the spring of 1942, a Japanese submarine surfaced near the coast of Southern California and fired shells that exploded near the Los Padres National Forest. Americans were shocked that the war had been brought directly to the U.S. mainland, and they feared that enemy shells could set off raging forest fires along the West Coast. Protection of forests from uncontrolled fire became a matter of national importance. A campaign featuring Smokey Bear was born two years later to urge people to be more careful about preventing forest fires. Dressed in a ranger’s hat, belted blue jeans and carrying a shovel, Smokey became an instant success. In the spring of 1950, in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico, a young black bear cub found himself caught in the Capitan Gap fire, a wildfire that burned 17,000 acres (about 69-square kilometers) in the Lincoln National Forest. The frightened bear took refuge in a tree, and while managing to stay alive was badly burned. The firefighters

who retrieved him – a group of soldiers from Fort Bliss, Texas, who were helping to fight the fire – were so moved by his bravery, they named him Smokey and brought the scared, injured bear back to their camp. A local ranger and his family cared for the little bear cub until he was nursed back to health. News about the brave little bear named Smokey soon spread across the nation, and after he was healed, he was soon on his way to a new home at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. When Smokey arrived at the National Zoo, several hundred spectators were there to welcome him to his new home Smokey lived at the National Zoo for 26 years. During that time he received millions of visitors and so many letters that in 1964 the United States Postal Service gave him his own zip code, an honor that is shared by only one other person: The president of the United States. Smokey died on Nov. 9, 1976, and was returned to Capitan, New Mexico, where he is buried in the State Historical Park.

Smokey Bear’s Five Rules for Fire Prevention: 1. Only you can prevent wildfires. 2. Always be careful with fire. 3. Never play with matches or lighters. 4. Always watch your campfire. 5. Make sure your campfire is completely out before leaving it.

DoD Awards Contract for Electronic Health Records By Jim Garamone DoD News, Defense Media Activity

The award of the new modernization contract for electronic health records is a great opportunity to “save money, save time, and most importantly, save lives,” Christopher A. Miller, the Defense Healthcare Management Systems program executive officer said on July 29. In a culmination of a more than two-year effort, the Defense Department today awarded a $4.3 billion contract to Leidos, Inc. Now begins the hard part: Putting the contract in place, Miller said. The new contract will cover more than 9.5 million Defense Department beneficiaries and the more than 205,000 care providers that support them. The contract will improve current interoperability among the DoD, the VA and private sector health-care providers and enable each to access and update health records. The contract is based on protocols established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT and the DoD/VA interagency program office. The DoD and the VA are interoperable now, said Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall, but this contract ensures it will continue by including future software upgrades. Training is also included in the contract, he said. “The trick … in getting a business system fielded isn’t about the product you’re buying, it’s about the training, the preparation of your people, it’s about minimizing the changes to the software that you’re buying,” Kendall said. “We’ve done a lot of work to ensure that our users … are prepared to take on this product and use it.” The next step in fielding the system is to test the software to ensure it is secure and does what is needed. The contractor will begin fielding the system at eight locations in the Pacific Northwest covering each of the services late next year. Ultimately, the system will be fielded at more than 1,000 locations worldwide. The cost over 18 years was placed at $11 billion, but new figures suggest the ultimate cost will be below $9 billion, Kendall said. Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, called electronic health records “a critical enabler for supporting and maintaining medical readiness” around the world. The new system is global and must operate in remote places like Afghanistan, in addition to DoD’s 55 hospitals and more than 600 clinics, Woodson said. “Even apart from the wartime requirements, the patients we serve are frequently on the move, as are our caregivers, so it is very important to have a highly integrated system that is portable to serve the needs wherever they may be required,” he said. “Today is not just about picking a software vendor,” Miller said. “Today is really about making sure we provide the right team that will provide the services and all those things that are necessary to meet our objectives.” Nevertheless, the department is sensitive to potential vendor lock situations. To mitigate this risk, the government negotiated specific rights to the software and technical data that will allow future contractors access to operate or sustain the system, Miller said. Building the new system will be complicated, Woodson noted, adding that implementing it does not simply mean turning off one system and turning on another. The new system will replace up to 50 legacy systems and there is a transition plan for each one of those systems, Miller said. “You can’t just take away the old [system] and drive in the new one,” Kendall said. “You have to provide health care continuously: you cannot stop. You have to keep the old system running until the new system is ready to step in and take over. It requires us to keep the old systems running.”
