Summer is here, the rain and clouds are gone, and many Neapolitans are out walking on the city’s seaside promenade— the Lungomare. The Lungomare - a pedestrian-

only zone for much of its course begins at Castel dell’ Ovo, extends along Via Francesco Caracciolo, and ends at the Mergellina boat dock. As you walk along, you’ll pass a tree-filled city park (Villa Comunale), a statue of Armando Diaz on his horse (a World War I Neapo-

litan general), the American consulate and then the sailboats and breakwater of the Mergellina. You can gaze out onto the blue-green expanse of the Bay of Naples and see the peninsulas of Sorrento on the left and Posillipo on the right. In the center of this wonderful

scene is the island of Capri. A sunny weekend brings out all sorts of people: friends talking, couples holding hands, joggers in groups, bicyclists in bright clothes, children on tricycles, and families enjoying the outdoors. See THE LUNGOMARE Page 11

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Visits Naples By MCSN Weston Jones, Navy Public Affairs Support Element East Detachment Europe

Hollister K. Petraeus, assistant director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and head of the Office of Service member Affairs (OSA), held two seminars in the Capodichino auditorium at Naval Support Activity Naples, May 21. The purpose of the seminars was to educate service members about financial benefits they are entitled to and potential risks from dishonest businesses. “Major military bases can be one of the biggest payrolls in the region and that attracts a lot of businesses, good and bad,” said Petraeus. “If there is an issue we will go forward on the service member’s behalf and help resolve the problem.” Petraeus informed service members of benefits they are entitled to under the Service member’s Civil Relief Act (SCRA), DODIAA-V12.0, and how the CFPB holds businesses accountable for violations of the federal consumer financial laws it enforces.

Base Notes

Summer Day Camp Registration Now Open

We have so much to be thankful for in our community. I’d like to begin my column this week by congratulating some of our brightest stars, the graduating seniors of Naples High School. I had the pleasure of addressing the commencement last night and it was a memorable occasion, earned through years of hard work and dedication. Well done, class of 2014! “Fair winds and following seas” as you head out into a world of infinite opportunity and possibilities. With the school year drawing to a close, I would like to also acknowledge my sincere appreciation to our teachers, school staff, coaches, engaged parents, volunteers, and all others who had a role in educating our children. I also want to thank my security personnel for helping students safely cross the main roads near the school complex each and every day. It takes an entire community to foster a positive learning environment, and I’m grateful for the commitment that was demonstrated throughout the year. Our youth are not the only ones enjoying scholastic achievement; next week, the Navy College office will host a graduation ceremony for all those who completed a college degree in the last year. The ceremony will take place in the Capo theater at 10:30 a.m. June 13. Congratulations to all those who will be honored and receive a degree. Lastly, many of our active duty enlisted personnel also have reason to celebrate, the recent advancement exam and senior chief and master chief selection results are out and many of our deserving Sailors have earned a much deserved promotion. Congratulations to all who have worked so hard and achieved so much over the last year! I also ask each of you to reflect on the achievements, but to remain ever mindful of our obligation to look out for one another, to conduct ourselves responsibly and to use good common sense in all that we do. We are on a pace that will greatly exceed the number of DUI’s we experienced last year. Nearly every DUI has occurred out in town and away from the installation. We have also had two very serious mishaps with injuries for our Sailors on liberty in the past few weeks. Not the way we envisioned kicking off the “100 Days of Summer!” I need leaders at all levels to engage their personnel and apply good common sense, whether at home or at play, to ensure everyone honorably represents the United States and our Navy here in Italy and comes home safely. Apply the principles of Operational Risk Management in everything you do. Consider the potential consequences of your actions BEFORE you act. Don’t assume the best case scenario, but anticipate the unanticipated and mitigate your risks. There are so many wonderful things to enjoy here in Italy and throughout Europe, don’t let a night of fun with your friends or a weekend outing get out of control. Think about the potential ramifications of a DUI or living with a permanent, life-changing injury as a result of failure to suppress an irrational impulse. Take care of each other. As our personnel turn over during the PCS season, bring new shipmates into the fold. Help them get attuned to cultural differences between Italy and their last duty station. Naples can be a lonely place, especially for those beginning unaccompanied tours. Help junior personnel find good networks, and enable them to make good decisions. Finally, I would like to congratulate Senior Chief Bryan Welch on his retirement this week after 22 years of outstanding service to the Navy and our nation. While Senior Chief Welch departs the Navy and begins his life anew, it is our great fortune that he and his great family will continue to reside in the local area as he transitions to service as a Government Service employee. Thanks for your military service and your outstanding contribution to the Naples community! The weather is heating up this weekend and the pool will be open. Enjoy some much deserved fun in the sun and come back, safely, on Monday!

Italy and Beyond Lou Freed is a regular contributing culture and travel columnist for Panorama. She has traveled and cruised extenLou Freed sively in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Her monthly column offers cultural and travel insights locally and further afield.

By Lou Freed Now at our doorstep, summer and light winds make it prime time to enjoy the outdoors and local events. June happenings in Naples and environs include a Picasso exhibition, a comprehensive wine fair, a couple of inviting gastronomical fests and cruising. If you’re looking for ways to jumpstart your summer plans, consider the following events.

Art Exhibitions Sorrento and Naples host worldclass artists The spotlight is currently upon Pablo Picasso, one of the most prolific artists of all time, at Sorrento’s Villa Fiorentino Museum. “Picasso: Eclecticism of a Genius” displays fascinating incisions, ceramics, oils and other works to prove the artist lived, breathed and created art. (Public domain photo)

Picasso Though still relishing the successful Salvador Dali art show last year, the Villa Fiorentino Museum in Sorrento comes up with yet another monumental artist, Pablo Picasso, to showcase this summer. “Picasso: Eclecticism of a Genius” displays 240 incisions, 25 ceramics, oils and other works to prove the artist lived, breathed and created art. Picassomio.com reports the Spanish artist “was one of the most prolific of all times,” estimating Picasso’s 75-year career span produced a staggering number of works - 13,500 paintings, 100,000 graphic prints or engravings, 34,000 book illustrations, 300 sculptures and ceramics. The Malaga-born painter, sculptor, ceramicist and stage designer captivated the world with his childlike curiosity throughout his life that was instrumental in his constant innovation of new styles and artistic methods. As a forerunner of Cubism and Surrealism, “Les Demoiselles

Summer Breeze Delivers Picasso Art, Italian Wines and Gastronomical Fests d’Avignon” and “Guernica” are among his best legacies to art history. He lived to the age of 91, passing away in 1973. The Sorrentine exhibition is in chronological order to convey the art genius’ stylistic development, ranging from classical to modern.

Many may have driven past the Giovanni Falcone Environment and Agriculture Institute in Licola, a training ground for future agriculturists, but do not realize the school is within an archaeological park. Traces of the original Romanbuilt Domitian Road remain in the school grounds, paralleling its current counterpart. Within the ancient environment, students raise produce and also make preserves, along with cheese, as part of their curriculum. Their products are sold at school fests, furthering the school’s mission of developing environmentalists and farmers. To demonstrate their knowledge and promote the fruits of their labor, the institute’s students along with their instructors will team up at the “Country Fest: Braci e Fritture” (Western Style Grill & Fry) tomorrow and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day. Inviting aromas and flavors will prevail in a simulated Old West scenario as barbecued beef, “street” food (snacks) and pasta are prepared and served against a lush and

green setting. Tap your toes and click your heels to country music as you dine, and if you’re lucky to be there at the right time, you may even see a westernstyle dance exhibition by students of the Fitness Center of Bacoli. Access to the fest is easy since the school is across from “Villaggio Ideal Camping” on Via Domiziana. The site is a few minutes from Parco Azzurro and Lago Patria. For Institute info, visit www.istitutofalcone.gov.it, email nais06200c@ istruzione.it or call 081-867-8156 for other queries. Bacoli to explode with Phlegrean flavors The season to savor the fruits of the land brings forth the “Fiera del Sapore Flegreo” (Phlegrean Flavors Fair), June 26-28, in the panoramic town.

naples Gets Senior transition assistance Class From Fleet and Family Support Center Naples

The Fleet and Family Support Center at Naval Support Activity Naples has added a Senior PreRetirement Transition Assistance Program (TAP) course, which will be offered Sept. 8-12. Participants must be at least an E-9, CWO4 or O-5 for this workshop, as it will provide more targeted information for upper level service members. Attendees interested in pursuing executive or upper management careers will be able to learn from seasoned facilitators from the Department of Labor and Veterans Affairs (VA). The workshop, while maintaining the requirements of the core curriculum, will also focus more intently on building a relevant resume based on senior experience and advanced qualifications. The Senior TAP course will offer the opportunity to practice salary negotiations, develop a succinct elevator speech and enhance interview skills so as to present accomplishments in an organized and relevant manner. Those who have been in positions of leadership or management will be able to translate associated skills into civilian terms and target jobs requiring 10-plus years of experience. Service members who have not used social media

to showcase their professional achievements will have the opportunity to become proficient with this networking resource. The Veterans Affairs facilitator will discuss indepth the healthcare benefits available to retiring service members and how to use them in conjunction with TRICARE. There will also be the occasion to get more information on utilizing or transferring a GI Bill. “When the Navy realized the growing demand for Senior TAP, the Department of Labor and GBX Consultants responded quickly with an updated and targeted senior-level curriculum,” said Kim Stimpson of GBX Consultants, European Regional Manager of the Department of Labor facilitation team. “In Senior TAP, participants can be assured that the instructors will tailor their training to address the distinctive backgrounds, experiences and goals of executive level service members and their families." This workshop will allow senior personnel to collectively discuss ideas and thoughts concerning their transition with a group of their peers. Senior TAP is scheduled to be offered biannually in Naples. For more information or to register, see your command career counselor or contact FFSC.

NOSC Awards Scholarship Recipients in Annual Ceremonies By Rachel Cornette, Naples Overseas Support Club

The Naples Overseas Support Club (NOSC) handed out $44,350 in scholarship awards to 15 community members during two recent ceremonies held at Naval Support Activity Naples. The NOSC congratulated eight undergraduate and graduate scholarship recipients during a ceremony at the Support Site Community Center, May 27. The seven high school recipients were awarded June 3 during the Naples High School Senior Recognition Ceremony. Naval Support Activity Naples Commanding Officer Capt. Scott Gray congratulated the winners on their academic excellence and spoke about the importance of pursuing higher education in today’s economic climate. “The applications were very competitive and we are thankful that so many talented individuals in our community took the time to apply,” said

In a recent example, OSA referred SCRA-related complaints to the Department of Justice, and as a result Sallie Mae and other loan providers agreed to a $97 million settlement with $60 million dollars to be divided amongst affected service members. “Sallie Mae gave service members the runaround and denied them the interest-rate reduction required by law,” said Petraeus. After a question-and-answer session, Petraeus invited any service member to one-on-one discussions after the seminar.

Cathy Caldwell, NOSC scholarship chairperson. Adult recipients already attending college were Madeline Johnson, Caitlin Kroupa, Tyler Williams, Scott Altstiel, Jean Kimlicka-Mills, Thomas MacAvoy, Jack Murdock and Jordan Shotwell. The graduating high school students who received scholarship awards were Brittaney Key, Audrey Martin, Luca Melendez, Jessica Poluhowich, Brooke Murdock, Austin Segura and Matthew Collins. NOSC’s Scholarship Program is made possible through direct fundraising and proceeds from the NOSC Thrift Store. The Thrift Store, located at the Support Site, is operated by volunteers and makes the largest portion of the money used for scholarships. Community members who shop at or donate their items to the club’s store help make a significant impact. For more information on the scholarship or other club activities, visit www.noscitaly.com.

“I’m very happy and pleased; I learned a lot about financial benefits and scams to look out for,” said Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Shannon Ellis after the seminar. “I’m going to spread the word.” Cmdr. Don Biadog, command chaplain for Naval Support Activity Naples, said his greatest take-away was the information about for-profit and not-for-profit colleges and he plans to tell his Sailors what to look out for. “The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a fine

organization, it’s good to know that we have someone standing in our corner,” said Biadog. Financial problems can affect your family and career negatively. With service members being vulnerable to dishonest businesses practices, the CFPB’s Office of Service member Affairs stands watch against dishonest business practices aimed to scam members of the military.

Eight maritime interdiction boarding teams and six participating ships continue at-sea maritime security training scenarios in the Mediterranean Sea as part of Phoenix Express, May 30. During the scenarios, teams are taking turns boarding simulated suspect commercial vessels and executing tactics to counter-illicit trafficking. Participating ships include the Hellenic navy frigate HS Navarinon, Royal Moroccan navy frigate Hassan II, Algerian navy frigate Mourad Rais, Tunisian navy fast attack craft La Galite, and the Turkish navy frigate Fatih. Beyond the boarding scenarios, the crews of each ship are working closely together in a number of mission areas such as: tracking vessels of interest, communicating between other ships and maritime operations centers ashore, and overall ship maneuvering and interoperability. "You can learn a lot from these kinds of exercises and even more when working directly with another nation," said Hellenic navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Makrakis Vagelis, supervisor of electronic communications on board the Navarinon. "You can see things from different nation's equipment and tactics and you are able to take the best parts and be able to do better work." Four U.S. Army medics and U.S. Navy Sailors are embarked aboard Navarinon, working closely with a combined Croatian and Greek boarding team to share best practices in medical casualty response and MIO training. "[Exercises like these] builds a sense of community and interoperability," said U.S. Army Sgt. Brendan Hummel, one of two Army medics aboard Navarinon. Phoenix Express is a U.S. Africa Command-sponsored exercise, now in its eighth year, is designed to improve cooperation and interdiction expertise among Europe, North African, and U.S. naval forces in order to increase maritime safety and security in the Mediterranean Sea.

US Navy Historic Weapons Collection Dates to 17th Century From Naval History and Heritage Command Communication and Outreach Division

Many Americans fall into one of two categories. One is made up of those who see a basement or attic filled with stuff, shut the door and find something else to do. At the other end of the spectrum are those who see the same thing, but instead roll their sleeves up and dig in, eagerly anticipating rediscovering hidden treasures. The curators of the Collection Management Division (CMD) with the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) are the dig-in types. They've been in the midst of an artifact baseline reset, which means the staff is going through the entire collection, item-byitem, to make sure it is correctly cataloged, photographed, inventoried and if necessary, rehoused under the proper conditions. NHHC has a long history of preserving, analyzing, and disseminating the history and heritage of the U.S. Navy. The organization traces its roots back to 1800 when President John Adams instructed the first Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Stoddert, to prepare a catalog of professional books for use in the Secretary's office. Over the next two centuries, the Navy's history was collected through various offices and departments. Finally, in the early 1970s, the organization, ultimately entitled the Naval History and Heritage Command, became a single entity responsible for all aspects of Navy historical preservation and dissemination. Yet it's up to a relatively small staff to keep track of the hundreds of thousands of items that are part of NHHC's programs for historic artifacts, art and underwater archaeology. And among the most popular is NHHC's historic weapons collection, according to Karen France, the curator branch head of

NHHC's Collection Management Division. Those weapons include some of the oldest in NHHC's collection, including a bronze 6-pound Spanish cannon cast by Andres Melendez in 1686 for King Charles II. It was named "San Bruno" to honor Saint Bruno, an 11th century scholar and founder of the Carthusian monastic order. San Bruno joins 25 other bronze or iron cannons throughout the Washington Navy Yard alone. There are others within the Museum of the U.S. Navy on base, within NHHC's historic small arms vault and displayed at other NHHC museums and approved organizations throughout the United States and internationally. The core of the collection was created by Rear Adm. John A. Dahlgren, a former commander of the Washington Navy Yard and a naval ordnance innovator. After being assigned to ordnance duty at the Navy Yard as a lieutenant in 1847, Dahlgren invented and developed bronze boat guns, heavy smoothbore shell guns and rifled ordnance during the next 15 years until the start of the Civil War. In order to study the feasibility of the weapons he was creating, Dahlgren formed the first sustained weapons research and development program for the U.S. Navy, which earned him the title "father of American naval ordnance." Dahlgren used the older weapons to research while creating his weapons, like the Navy carbine. "Basically, we've been tied to this collection since 1908," France said. "We have weapons that are pre-American Revolution to current operations, and that collection also includes weapons made for the Navy, its allies and adversaries." The collection features a number of experimental guns that earned the Washington Navy Yard its reputation in gun development. Weapons like:

* the experimental, Dahlgren-designed, .69 caliber percussion rifle that features what a weapons expert in 2009 described as an "experimental hammer that appears to be intended for some type of tape primer mechanism," * a 5.56 mm rifle that was built as a low maintenance experimental rifle system, * and an experimental minigun machine gun that never reached production. "These artifacts are examples of development weapons, and as such reflect the continuity of the Navy's tradition of development new technologies to meet current needs, just as Dahlgren did at the Washington Navy Yard," according to Julie Kowalsky, a curator with the Historic Small Arms Division. The small arms artifacts are among the most popular parts of NHHC's collection, France said. Some are on display and other items from within the collection may be rotated to museums for display as new exhibits are created. Only a small percentage of the collection, however, is available for display to the public. The most precious weapons remain in the vault, since the Navy Yard doesn't have a facility to accommodate a public viewing of the items, although researchers may view the items by appointment, France said. But the curators are taking photographs of nearly every artifact within the collection in order to put it online to show off items in collections that aren't open to the public, like those in the small arms vault. "Our goal is to see more of our artifacts being used to illustrate stories about the Navy's history and heritage, and to have these images available to the public once they are all digitized." Some of those artifacts not available to the public are spread among four offsite storage facilities. But plans are in the

works to consolidate the four off-site locations into one that can offer the controlled temperature and humidity necessary for the preservation of artifacts, France said. "I don't think people realize the degree of complexity of managing a collection this size," she said. "We are trying very hard to bring it to a higher professional level, and it takes a lot of detail, working proper research and not just putting items in boxes and writing the number down." When not cataloging and documenting new items donated to the Navy, the staff's historic arms curators also supply policy advances to the rest of the Navy about on issues such as proper object handling and preservation for items other commands may have on display. "Right now, the 100 percent inventory reset is our main focus and supporting other outreach endeavors of the command and the Navy," France said. The Naval History and Heritage Command, located at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage. It provides the knowledge foundation for the Navy by maintaining historically relevant resources and products that reflect the Navy's unique and enduring contributions through our nation's history, and supports the Fleet by assisting with and delivering professional research, analysis, and interpretive services. NHHC is composed of many activities including the Navy Department Library, the Navy Operational Archives, the Navy art and artifact collections, underwater archeology, Navy histories, nine museums, USS Constitution repair facility and the historic ship Nautilus.

But now the world’s armies have joined forces for a last stand offensive against the alien horde, with no second chances. Lt. Col. Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped -- untrained and ill-equipped -into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop -- dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over. But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski, who has laid waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.

a Place to Call home One Sailor's lessons learned By MC2 Amara Timberlake, All Hands Magazine

done right, can leave you with a far better result than I had.

My Story As Sailors, we have a unique opportunity to see the world and experience life in different places; my own wanderlust made me want to serve. So it was strange to me that the first thing I'd missed about my life before the Navy was having a place to call home. I lived my whole young life in a small piece of the world that felt like mine, but I left because I didn't want to settle. Sadly, I haven't felt settled a single day since walking out and joining the Navy. By settled I mean once again having a little piece of the world that's only yours; a place to have company, not subject to inspections, pesky roommates, or having to shower in your flip-flops. There's an unopened box in my basement that I packed up when I moved out of my A-school barracks room in 2008. I don't remember what I put in the box, but for years I thought it would be nice to just have a place to unpack it. With shore duty orders in hand, I decided the best way to feel settled was to buy a house. I wanted to make an investment in something solid for my future. Since I was eligible for a loan through the Department of Veterans Affairs, I could use the money I'd saved toward a down payment, for some fresh paint and new carpet instead. I was excited. The process seemed long enough to be thorough and after signing my name more times in one sitting than I'd ever done in my life, I was the proud owner of a 112 year-old row-home in a "transitional" neighborhood of Baltimore. The place seemed like it was in decent shape and just needed a few updates. I fell in love with the crystal doorknobs and the fluted moulding that made me feel as though I was buying a castle. Finally, I would have a place to paint and hang photos and leave messy if that's what I felt like doing that day. I'd once again be home. Two weeks after closing, I hired a neighborhood handyman to do some repairs on the first floor. He found signs of termite damage under some moulding. When I first found out, I didn't think much of it. I told the handyman to just get rid of all the stuff that looked damaged. It couldn't have meant more than some new moulding, paint and a pest treatment, right? Once I got home that afternoon, it became apparent that this was in fact a disaster. The entire back half of the house looked like a tornado ripped through and the support beams dangled like palm fronds from what used to be the ceiling. A giant hole in the floor replaced the kitchen that had been there when I left for work that morning. I saw hundreds of tiny, white, maggot-like insects swimming in the wood that once supported a floor. A wave of panic washed over me and I began to feel nauseous. It was like the weight of every brick and beam was crashing down on top of me. What could I have possibly done to deserve this? The reality comes down to what I didn't do. This was one of the biggest purchases I had made in my life, and I didn't pay enough attention to the process, which if

Why buy? It might seem strange to think that owning a home can be less expensive than renting, but in many areas, it's true. The best part is that, paying a mortgage feels the same as paying rent every month except there is a means to an end. "There is a certain satisfaction that you'll get from knowing that something is yours," said Chief Petty Officer Laura James, assigned to the pre-commissioning unit America. “Not just putting money in someone else's pocket, but investing in your future. I get to wake up every morning in a beautiful home and it's mine; I think that's really exciting." Buying a house can even save you money on your taxes. Oleg Purpish, a realtor whose company specializes in helping service members purchase homes said,"When you're buying a home, you can deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes, and usually from your state taxes. The taxes you pay on the property can be a good write-off too." 1. Get your money right The first key to success in the home-buying game is to make sure your finances are in order. Check all three credit reports and handle any outstanding debts. The underwriting process is extensive and a financial institution will look at all of your accounts, banking transactions and tax returns. They'll know where you get your coffee every day. Service members have an advantage with the VA loan, but eligibility relies on proof of income and a good credit score. Purpish's wife is an active-duty Sailor and they recently transferred from the east coast to San Diego. He said it's a good idea for buyers to get a pre-qualification letter, which is basically a memo from a financial institution saying they'll lend you a certain amount of money. "Many offers that are accepted these days require a pre-qualification letter or a verification of funds," said Purpish. "So if they're going into the market without those two things, they're wasting their time because they have to wait for their paperwork. The seller is most likely going to accept an offer that already has that paperwork." If you're not yet in the market to purchase a home, now is the time to be making good financial decisions. 2. Get a good agent The first mistake I made was working with an inexperienced agent. He didn't seem to know much about the military lifestyle or the VA process so I ended up walking through that process on my own. He was employed by the broker listing the house, which did not give him any incentive to be thorough in the inspection process, especially the one that should have detected the termites. Purpish said the difference in a realtor can make or break your transaction. "Having a good realtor, who is experienced with the challenges of military life is important," said Purpish. "Having someone who understands your unique [circumstance] is always going to

benefit you. It's their job to help you." Your agent's job is to find homes that best suit you and your family's needs. Once you found that home, the agent is responsible for ensuring the transaction works in your best interest. Find an agent that you feel comfortable with, or ask people you know and trust to make recommendations. 3. Shop Around Just like you would consider more than one property before committing to one, you should consider more than one lender. Purpish said there are a number of things to take into consideration when looking at lenders. "First and foremost, you'll want someone with a proven track record," said Purpish. "You want them to have years of experience and you also want to know their closing timeline. How often do they close on time?" Purpish also added that Service members should choose a lender with clear communication skills and an ability to analyze and understand your needs. It's easy to just walk into a financial institution you already bank with and apply for a loan, but consider looking elsewhere. For her second home, James went with a mortgage broker who investigated a variety of lending sources to find the lender with the best terms for James. "The broker that I'm going through is giving me a float down to walk option," said James. "So if the interest rate lowers before we close escrow, then it will drop my interest rate." 4. Use your VA loan According to the VA website, VA guaranteed loans are made by private lenders, such as banks, savings & loans, or mortgage companies to eligible veterans for the purchase of a home which must be for their own personal occupancy. The guaranty means the lender is protected against loss if you fail to repay the loan. The guaranty replaces the protection the lender normally receives by requiring a down payment allowing you to obtain favorable financing terms. In my case, even though the VA required a termite inspection, they didn't offer any protection or recourse for the termite damage that was done. Speaking of VA loans, that is just one type of financing. Depending on what and where you plan to purchase, another financing option may work better for you. There are fixed and adjustable rates, Federal Housing administration (FHA), and interest only loans. Be sure to shop around for the right loan and the lowest interest rate that fits your needs. In addition to financing options, there are also city lift and good neighbor programs that give financial incentives to civil servants and teachers to purchase homes. 5. Have a thorough inspection I could have completely avoided my situation had I been more engaged in the inspection process. My agent (representing both the broker and I) coordinated a termite inspection with a company he'd worked with regularly. It's not just a good idea to do a termite inspection, it's required for most mortgages. I didn't want to have to bail on a

half day of work to be there for the inspection so I let my agent handle it. On their report they documented that the property had been previously treated for termites as indicated by drilled holes in the cement. That's no big deal, especially for a house that age. What's crazy is that they didn't detect termites because the inspection was superficial. In other words, there weren't any visible insects crawling on the surface walls or floors so they called it good. And that's totally legal. It's a good idea to be present at all inspections. Think of any invasive Navy inspection and take a good hard look at the house. Check for gear adrift and pick it apart. Look behind things and under stuff. Move ceiling tiles and open any and every door. Ask your inspector questions. Even if you don't know anything about structural integrity, electrical wiring, or wood-destroying insects, a good inspector is there to provide insight about what's been done by previous owners or things the property might need down the road. 6. Be objective The third major cause of my home-buying disaster was me. I made a lot of emotionallycharged decisions that I would have given more consideration if I wasn't so invested in the aesthetic charm of the house. I was willing to overlook things like a furnace from the 1970's, faulty electrical, and galvanized plumbing. But if I knew about the termites then, I would have walked away from the purchase. Upon return to my normal-self, I'm paying to repair structural damage caused by termites plus footing the bill to get the electrical and plumbing up to city code plus the upgrades I'd originally planned on. And since there's a giant hole in the floor, why not pay to update the furnace? It's a necessary expense to get the property to sell, which is what I'll be forced to do in the next year to cover the more than $80,000 in repairs; Repairs that have taken nearly two years to finance and complete. Purpish tells homebuyers not to settle for a house with issues. "Most of the time it's easier and cheaper to fix little things like doors and fixtures than big things like HVAC systems, electrical or structural issues that can hide behind walls," said Purpish. 7. Read the fine print Finally, read every single letter of every single word, in every sin-

gle contract. Inspectors, brokers, lenders and agents are all going to have paperwork that protects them in the event of a discrepancy. This one might seem obvious, but be absolutely sure you know what you're signing. Make sure your spouse understands it. Get clarification on what you don't understand. This might seem like a no-brainer, but it pays to know what you signed and to have copies of it. My lawyer was able to recover some money for damages caused by the termite inspectors because they didn't fulfill all of the terms of their contract. 8. Get help There are many resources out there for anyone to be successful whether they're purchasing a home for the first time or the100th. Check out your local Fleet and Family Support Center. They offer home-buying workshops and financial counseling. Visit the VA website to apply for a VA loan certificate of eligibility. For resources and information on the home buying process, visit the Department of Housing and Urban Development's website at www.hud.gov. Talk to the people you work with. Chances are good that someone in your workplace has gone through the process and could share their experience. The light at the end of the tunnel Property values are on the rise in my "transitional" neighborhood and I stand to actually make a profit when I finally sell my house. Plus, the improvements I'm making will give me a sizeable refund next tax season, which will also help supplement the cost of repairs. I've recently moved back into my house and a lot of my things are still boxed up in the basement and will probably stay there until I PCS in a few months. This was a house, but unfortunately, I'm still searching for my home. Through this process I've learned the feeling of being settled has more to do with the people that surround me, than the things. My friends and my shipmates that have been there to lend an ear or a couch, my leadership at my command who were understanding when I needed to be away from the office, and my parents who helped me keep it all in perspective, have all built a shelter of support around me and have helped to make this experience bearable. Hopefully, my experience can be an avoidable one for another shipmate looking to invest in a place to call home.

Enjoy Your Summer by Avoiding Heat-Related Injuries By Cmdr. Michael Cassady, U.S. Naval Hospital Naples

Visitors strolling down the Lungomare on foot and bicycle. (Photos by Michael Maddox)

THE LUNGOMARE Continued from Page 1

In the Villa Comunale park, children scramble up playground toys or skate on the outdoor roller rink. Agriturismo fairs are hosted next to the city aquarium on the first and third Sundays of each month. You can buy wine, cheese, olive oil and bread there. Antique fairs where vendors spread their wares out on the sidewalk are held on many weekends. Sitting at one of the many outdoor cafes or restaurants on the promenade or at the Borgo Marinari area at the castle’s base, sipping a wine or water, and watching the people pass by as you feel the sun on your face is one of the great experiences in Naples. Visitors can savor spaghetti with clams; caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil; and pizza with its “Vera pizza” assurance that it will be delicious

Diners on the Lungomare enjoy the many restaurants to choose from, the outside atmosphere and the ever changing people watching opportunities.

and uniquely Neapolitan. After dining, relaxing and people watching, you can walk to the top of the castle to view the Bay of Naples, the port, and Mount Vesuvius towering over it all.

For a wonderful and easy weekend - for you, your family, your Neapolitan friends and your summertime visitors – head down to the bay and take a stroll on the Lungomare.

Summer is here, and many people will be outside enjoying the warm weather. In order to take full advantage of these warm months in Europe, we should all know the cause and symptoms of heat related injuries and how to prevent them from happening. • Heat Rash is caused by a hot and humid environment and usually results in a red bumpy rash that itches. Heat rash can be prevented and treated by keeping skin clean and dry. Wearing dry loose-fitting clothes and sleeping in a dry cool area also prevents heat rash. • Heat Cramps are painful muscle cramps caused by a loss of body salt through excessive sweating. You can prevent heat cramps by drinking plenty of non-alcoholic, caffeine-free fluids. Anyone suffering from heat cramps should be monitored closely and if any more heat stress symptoms develop, seek medical attention. • Heat Syncope is a sudden fainting caused by reduced blood flow to your head. Someone experiencing heat syncope will have cool and moist skin with a weak pulse. Move the person to a cool place and seek medical attention. • Heat Exhaustion results when the body’s cooling system is not working properly due to inadequate salt and water intake. A person suffering from heat exhaustion will be heavily sweating, their skin will be cool and moist, and they will have a weak pulse. They will also seem tired, confused, clumsy and irritable. Their breathing may be rapid and they may have blurred vision. Move these people to a cool place and have them sip on water as long as they are conscious. Seek immediate medical attention. • Heat Stroke is the deadliest of all heat stress injuries. Heat stroke occurs when the body’s cooling system has shut down due to extreme loss of salt and water. The person experiencing heat stroke will have a high body temperature. Their skin may be hot, wet/dry and red. They will have a fast pulse, headache, or dizziness. There could also be a loss of consciousness that can lead to convulsions. These people need to be moved to a cool place and have them sip on cool water if they are conscious. Seek immediate medical attention. Keeping well hydrated will help prevent these heat injuries. Water intake is important all year long, but it is more critical during the summer months. Avoid drinks that contain alcohol or a lot of sugar. If you are highly active during these months, do not forget to also replace your electrolytes by drinking a sports beverage or juice and eating at least three meals a day. Limit outdoor activities to when it is cooler outside during the morning and evening hours. Drink two glasses of cool, alcoholand-sugar free, liquids for every hour you exercise outside. You can use the flag conditions as a guide for your physical activity during these hot summer months. These flags are posted outside of the Fit Zone Gym, located on Capodichino, and the Fit Forum Gym, located on the Support Site. The current flag condition may also be found on the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples webpage at www.med.navy.mil/sites/napoli/.

Also, remember to avoid sunburns by using a sun block with an SPF of at least 15, and preferably 30. Using sunscreen that is “broad spectrum” or “UVA/UVB protection” is recommended. One more thing; be sure to wear your sunglasses! You have probably heard of cataracts- the cloudy lenses that form in people’s eyes after years of exposure to UV light. It’s not too easy to drive, read, play golf, or recognize your friends when your entire field of vision is cloudy. Have fun, be careful and enjoy your summer. Contact the Preventive Medicine department of U.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN 629-5457 or email prevmed3@ med.navy.mil for additional information or questions.

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.

If you woke up this morning on the Support Site to find you couldn't connect to the web, than you might have been infected with a particularly sneaky piece of malware – DNS Changer. DNS stands for Domain Name System. DNS Changer virus is a type of malware used by hackers to change a user’s DNS server settings, replacing valid DNS servers with rogue DNS servers operated by the hackers or a third party. In collaboration with Telecom Italia, a device called the “sniffer” was recently installed to combat this particular virus. We can assume that the device you’re on is clear – but just in case, we encourage all users to connect to www.dcwg.org. It will take users to a DNS Changer Working Group designed to detect, fix and protect your device from DNS Changer virus. As with any virus, malware or Trojan, the most effective way to fix it will be to completely wipe the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. It’s not the most fun way to spend a few hours, but it is the most effective. If you do, remember to fully back up any per-

sonal files beforehand. For added protection and to help prevent the most current viruses, customers must update their antivirus software regularly. Most types of antivirus software can be set up to update automatically. Antivirus software is a computer program that detects, prevents and takes action to disarm or remove malicious software programs, such as viruses and worms. Customers can help protect their computer against viruses by using antivirus software, such as McAfee, Norton, AVG, etc. Within 20 days, Telecom Italia will introduce the “sniffer” again to check the status of the internet traffic, detecting IP addresses still infected. On-base customers experiencing issues with their internet and TV should log on to http://webprovisioning.netgroup.mobi to initiate a work request order. You may also contact the Telecom help desk at 081246-1868. The help desk’s hours of operations are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For further assistance, please contact NEX Residential Services Office at 081-813-5321, which is open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
