New Capodichino food court on the way By Melissa Kabukuru, Panorama editor

he dining situation at Naval Support Activity Naples’ Capodichino base will soon get a major overhaul. Construction has been underway since February on a new food court facility at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples Capodichino. The new dining area will occupy the old Ciao Hall galley building. The updated facility will include a pub

and a large conference room for catered events, as well as room for six food vendors that have yet to be determined. The food court project aims to consolidate the different dining facilities at Capodichino into one location, said Scott Ingalls, head of the project management branch at NSA Naples Public Works Department. “There is a space crunch on this base,” Ingalls said. “By co-locating all of these

functions back into the old galley, we will open up space on base for expansion of other functions.” While construction is expected to finish in late October, it will take additional time for the food vendors to move in and build their storefronts, which start out as plain “white boxes,” said Tony Smith, director of Naples Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR). see FOOD COURT Page 13

Students gear up for summer with water safety lessons Story and photos by Melissa Kabukuru, Panorama editor

aples Elementary School took a proactive approach to water safety this year by partnering with Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) to offer water safety courses before summer break. Deborah Moors, aquatics director for Naples Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), gave a full day of water safety training at the school June 4, speaking to all of the school’s students throughout the day. “With three pools and the huge number of kids we have here, it’s better to teach them how to be safe in the water before they even go,” Moors said. “A summer with fewer incidents is a better summer for everyone.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the second most common cause of death among children ages 1 to 14, and the leading cause of death in children ages 1 to 4.

USO Block Party June 16

This week we celebrated two major milestones for many in our community. The first came last night with the Naples High School graduation, and another took place today with the Navy College graduation. Our high school graduates are off to do some amazing things, and I’m glad we, the Naples community, had a hand in their development as young leaders. The college graduates we’ll celebrate today graduated at varying times throughout the past year with associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and trade degrees from a wide variety of institutions. It’s a huge accomplishment to earn these degrees on top of one’s regular duties, so if you see the graduates around, offer them your congratulations. Job well done, graduates! I also had the privilege of frocking about sixty of my own sailors this week, and I know many of the tenant commands also marked this milestone in their own sailors’ careers. We only get promoted a handful of times in our career, and being selected for advancement during this budget-constrained environment is really an accomplishment. When members of Navy Personnel Command’s fleet engagement team were here last week, the message I took from them is that, for the most part, the pain is over in terms of the Enlisted Retention Board and Perform to Serve. It sounds like the Navy has ripped off the Band-Aid in one fell swoop; most of the pain is over, and the opportunity for promotions has opened up. So, for those who did not advance this time, keep working hard and doing great things, and the promotions will follow. This is good news, because I love promoting sailors! Our “Festa Americana” celebration in Carney Park will be held the weekend of June 30 to July 1. As I’ve alluded to before, there have been some changes to past policy both in the number of guests allowed per person and in the ease with which patrons can drive their vehicles inside the park. There is always a long line of cars waiting for hours to get into the park, as many of you know, which is inconvenient for all. So this year we’ve de-incentivized driving into Carney Park — that is, we’re not forbidding it, but we are going to charge you to park your vehicles. You can take the bus from the Support Site for much cheaper than you can park, and we’re going to have a lot of buses running at times that we hope will be convenient for most. If you live in the area, your parking will be cheaper, because it doesn’t exactly make sense for you to take the bus. Those parking passes are available through Information, Tours and Travel (ITT). Lots of information is coming out on this from the Morale, Welfare and Recreation marketing office, so take a look at that or give ITT a call for more information. We’re hosting a lot of newcomers now and all through the summer. Every summer there are a lot of folks looking to extend their time in the Navy Lodge past the 60-day TLA mark. TLA extensions are rarely granted, and then only for extenuating circumstances. There’s a process in place to move to a short-term lease if your home isn’t available yet, and unfortunately the member’s convenience isn’t a reason to extend his or her TLA. I’ve asked all the supervisors and tenant commands to allow newcomers time to get to the housing office and get the long process started as early as possible, so that this doesn’t even become an issue. Area Orientation isn’t a prerequisite to visiting the housing office. On that note, we are taking a hard look at the housing process and looking for ways we can make it faster, more efficient, and more convenient, but it does take a lot longer here than most newcomers will be used to. I shared with the graduating seniors this week a quote from Andrew Carnegie: “A sunny disposition is worth more than fortune. Young people should know that it can be cultivated; that the mind like the body can be moved from the shade into sunshine.” So that’s my parting shot this week: sometimes moving our mind — our outlook — from the shade to the sunshine can be worth a fortune. A positive outlook is worth more than gold. Have a safe and sunny weekend!

Parco Eva and Carney Park drinking water update In early April, water test results showed that lead was discovered in the drinking water at two faucets in Carney Park and at one faucet in Parco Eva. Follow-up testing has shown that lead concentrations are well within acceptable levels at all loca-

tions. The higher lead concentrations in the April test results were caused by two non-branded faucets at Carney Park that have now been replaced, and by improper sampling procedures carried out at Parco Eva.

NMCRS visiting nurse reaches out to Turkish NATO family

T HE I NSIDE P AGE … FOR FLEET

Dogs across Italy will have a better summer this year. They can taste their own ice cream during the hot season. IceBau is the name of the ice cream that will soon be on the market. The ice cream was presented at the gelato festival in Ancona. Despite the Italian economic crisis, the sales for pre-packaged ice cream increased by 2.2 percent in 2011, according to the Italian Institute of Ice Cream.

Italian authorities break up mafia drug racket Italian law enforcement officers arrested dozens of people who were part of an international drug racket. According to authorities, the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta mafia used ships to bring drugs from Venezuela, Argentina and the Dominican Republic into Europe. More than six tons of drugs were seized and more than €10 million was confiscated from Swiss bank accounts.

December 31, 2015. The card is good for a total of 2,000 liters of gas, or roughly 45,000 kilometers. This announcement came in response to the government’s decision to impose a two-cent-per-liter tax to help finance reconstruction in the EmiliaRomagna region, which was recently hit by big earthquakes.

Agnano bath complex opens for the season Just to have a break, you can try to spend a day or only couple of hours at the thermal park at Agnano, which opened to the public after the winter season a few days ago. The thermal park includes two outdoor pools of 400 square meters, four indoor pools with hydromassage, a solarium, massages, spas, cafes and other services. The park covers an area of 7,000 square meters and is situated amid Hellenistic structures of the fourth and third century B.C., which represent the oldest archaeological evidence found in the Basin of Agnano. By the end of June, the area around the pools will be equipped with an athletic course where people can enjoy the beauty of the place while training. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Closed on Mondays. For more information, please check the website www.termediagnano.it.

By Jessica Goodman, NMCRS publicity chair

Normally NATO families are not part of the population that the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Visiting Nurses program would assist. But according to visiting nurse Ann Donohue, “If there’s a need I’m happy to help out. It’s a part of the NMCRS Visiting Nurse goodwill.” Mr. Atas, who is part of the Turkish military community at Allied Joint Force Command Naples, read about the NMCRS Baby Basics class in the Panorama and thought it would be helpful to him and his wife. His wife, however, does not speak English, so Donohue held a one-on-one class for them, and Mr. Atas translated all of the information. After their baby Ela was born at a Naples hospital, they again contacted Donohue to schedule a home visit. At the home visit, Donohue was able to answer all of their questions, discuss newborn care, and assist with breastfeeding while Mr. Atas again translated for his wife. The family was very appreciative of the NMCRS services, especially the assistance with breastfeeding, “which is a traditional culture for us,” said Mrs. Atas. “Knowing that there is always someone to consult makes me comfortable.”

Italians follow the Mediterranean diet, which includes a daily intake of fruits and vegetables. They prefer products that are in season and very fresh. Their first choice when they shop is the local market, where prices are very competitive and products are very fresh. In Gricignano there is an open air market

every Thursday near the cemetery. The second choice is the fruit stand, a bit more expensive but still good quality. The third option is the supermarket, where products may not be as fresh. The Fleet and Family Support Center’s Intercultural Relations Team plans a monthly trip to the local market. Check our calendar or call 081-811-6372 for more information.

NSA Naples honors Battle of Midway anniversary By MC3 Caitlin Conroy, Navy Public Affairs Support Element-East Detachment Europe

ailors aboard Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples held a ceremony in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway June 4. The ceremony included a wreath laying segment, as well as remarks by Rear Adm. Kenneth “K. J.” Norton, deputy chief of staff for Strategy, Resources and Plans at U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa. “Today I am privileged to reflect on the Battle of Midway,” said Norton. “This is an opportunity to celebrate an American naval victory during uncertain days. Today we salute the warriors of the Battle of Midway and we remember their great victory and tremendous sacrifice.” Fought from June 4 to June 7, 1941, the Battle of Midway is regarded as a critical turning point for the United States during World War II. During the battle, U.S. Navy carrier strike forces defeated an Imperial Japanese navy carrier task force. Left without air cover and unable to prevent land- and seabased air attacks against their surface ships, the Japanese invasion forces retreated. “The victory at Midway allowed the United States to launch a counter offensive in the Solomon Islands, culminating in a decisive victory,” added Norton. “Midway proved to be the pivot point where the iner-

tia of the Pacific war shifted from seemingly indomitable Japanese forces.” Facing four veteran Japanese aircraft carriers, the U.S. Navy won the battle with only three aircraft carriers – the USS Enterprise (CV-6), the USS Hornet (CV-8) and the USS Yorktown (CV-5) – augmented by land-based fighters, bombers and torpedo planes from Midway. “We use the terms honor, courage and commitment today, but those terms abounded at Midway. Those sailors, Marines and Army aviators wrote a glorious page in our history,” said Norton. “Admiral [Jonathan] Greenert says we are the strongest and most capable Navy in the world and I know that to be true. Midway taught us that it takes more than advanced technology and excellent training to win a war. Those are vital, but without our people, our passion and our will to win, we cannot achieve success. People make us a great Navy, and Midway is a reminder to never forget it.” Norton added that we owe a debt to those sailors, Marines and soldiers who came before us. “Words simply cannot express our nation’s gratitude for the extraordinary service our World War II veterans gave us and for those who participated in the Battle of Midway,” said Norton.

From Naval History and Heritage Command Japanese air attack on Midway, June 4, 1942 t 4:30 a.m. the morning of June 4, 1942, while 240 miles northwest of Midway, Vice Adm. Chuichi Nagumo's four carriers began launching 108 planes to attack the U.S. base there. Unknown to the Japanese, three U.S. carriers were steaming 215 miles to the east. The two opposing fleets sent out search planes: the Americans to locate an enemy they knew was there, and the Japanese as a matter of operational prudence. Seaplanes from Midway were also patrolling along the expected enemy course. One of these spotted and reported the Japanese carrier striking force at about 5:30 a.m. That seaplane also reported the incoming Japanese planes, and radar confirmed the approaching attack shortly thereafter. Midway launched its own planes. Navy, Marine and Army bombers headed off to attack the Japanese fleet. Midway's Marine Corps Fighting Squadron 221 (VMF-221) intercepted the enemy formation at about 6:15 a.m. However, the Marines were immediately engaged by an overwhelming force of Japanese "Zero" fighters and were able to shoot down only a few of the enemy bombers, while suffering great losses themselves. This action convincingly demonstrated the inferiority of the Americans' Brewster F2A-3 "Buffalo" fighter, and the marginal capabilities of the somewhat better Grumman F4F "Wildcat," when confronted by the fast and nimble "Zero." Among the Marine losses was VMF-221's commanding officer, Maj. Floyd B. Parks. The Japanese planes hit Midway's two inhabited islands at 6:30 a.m. Twenty minutes of bombing and strafing knocked out some facilities on Eastern Island, but did not disable the airfield there. Sand Island's oil tanks, seaplane hangar and other buildings were set afire or otherwise damaged. As the Japanese flew back toward their carriers, the attack commander, Lt. Joichi Tomonaga, radioed ahead that another air strike was required to adequately soften up Midway's defenses for invasion.

IA DISCUSSION GROUP (1 - 2 p.m.) Topic: Summer camp opportunities. SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION & RESPONSE TRAINING (8 a.m. - noon and 1 to 4 p.m.) Point of contact training will take place from 8 a.m. to noon, and data collection coordinator training will take place from 1 to 4 p.m.

U.S. attacks on the Japanese carrier striking force, June 4, 1942 hile the Japanese aviators flew back from Midway, the Japanese carriers received several counterstrikes from Midway's own planes. Faced with overwhelming fighter opposition, these uncoordinated efforts suffered severe losses and hit nothing but sea water. Shortly after 7 a.m., torpedo attacks were made by six Navy TBF-1s and four Army Air Force B-26s. Between 7:55 and 8:20 a.m., two groups of Marine Corps bombers and a formation of Army B-17s came in. The only positive results were photographs of three Japanese carriers taken by the high-flying B-17s, the sole surviving photos of the day's attacks on the Japanese carriers. Meanwhile, a tardy Japanese scout plane had spotted the U.S. fleet and, just as Midway's counterattacks were ending, reported the presence of a carrier. Japanese commander Vice Adm. Chuichi Nagumo had begun rearming his second group of planes for another strike on Midway. He now had to reload the aircraft with anti-ship weapons, recover the planes returning from Midway and reorganize his flight decks to

CHOICES: MANAGING YOUR ANGER (2 - 4 p.m.; Session 1 of 3) A three-session program focused on skills to manage anger and develop effective communication.

OMBUDSMAN INTEREST MEETING (5 - 6 p.m.) Topic: How to become an ombudsman. SBD "Dauntless" dive bombers from the USS Hornet (CV-8) approach the burning Japanese heavy cruiser Mikuma to make the third set of attacks on her during the early afternoon June 6, 1942. Mikuma had been hit earlier by strikes from the USS Hornet and the USS Enterprise (CV-6), leaving her dead in the water and fatally damaged. (Official U.S. Navy Photograph, National Archives Collection) launch an attack on the U.S. ships. Nagumo's force barely missed having enough time. During the next hour, U.S. Navy planes from the carriers the USS Hornet (CV-8), the USS Enterprise (CV-6) and the USS Yorktown (CV-5) made a series of attacks, initially by three squadrons of TBD torpedo planes that, despite nearly total losses, made no hits. The sacrifice of the TBDs did slow Japanese preparations for their own strike and disorganized the defending fighters. Then, at about 10:25 a.m., everything changed. Three squadrons of SBD scout bombers, two from the USS Enterprise and one from the USS Yorktown, almost simultaneously dove on three of the four Japanese carriers, whose decks were crowded with fully armed and fueled planes that were just starting to take off. In a few minutes, Akagi, Kaga and Soryu were ablaze and out of action. Of the once-overwhelming Japanese carrier force, only Hiryu remained operational. A few hours later, her planes crippled the USS Yorktown. By the end of the day, though, U.S. carrier planes found and bombed Hiryu. Deprived of useful air cover, and after several hours of shocked indecision, Combined Fleet commander Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto called off the Midway operation and retreated.

Earthquakes Information compiled by EN2 Miguel Huerta NSA Naples Emergency Management Office Disaster Preparedness Specialist

The sudden and violent shaking experienced during an earthquake is caused by the shifting and breaking of subterranean rocks. Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere and anytime without warning, so you and your family should be prepared. How can I prepare for an earthquake? • Minimize home hazards by bolting down shelves, bookcases, china cabinets, and other tall furniture, and by strapping the water heater to studs in the walls. • Identify a safe place in every room of your home where nothing can fall on you, such as under a table, against a wall, or in a doorway. • Practice earthquake drills as a family so everyone knows what to do, especially “drop, cover, and hold on!” • Ensure you have a fully-stocked disaster kit (visit links below) Members of the Naval Support Activity Naples community learned about becoming better speakers at a May 31 workshop sponsored by the Naples Toastmasters Club.

Toastmasters Club teaches the art of public speaking Story and photo by MC2 Jason Howard Navy Public Affairs Support Element – East Detachment Europe he Naples Toastmasters Club hosted a workshop called “How to Become a Better Speaker” for local community members at the Naval Support Activity Naples Community Center May 31. The Naples Toastmasters club is part of Toastmasters International, a non-profit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of meeting locations. “A comfortable speaker doesn’t make a good speaker,” said Jasandra Brown, vice president of education for Naples Toastmasters Club. “Here you learn how to overcome fear of public speaking.” According to the Toastmasters website, Toastmasters International has helped people of all backgrounds become more confident in developing verbal communication skills. “Verbal communication skills put you above the rest,” said Brown. “If you have two people with the same skill set, the one who can speak about it more professionally will be deemed the expert.”

The club provides members with a curriculum that develops communication and leadership skills one step at a time, with many opportunities for awards and recognition along the way, according to Virginia Espree, a special education teacher. “The leaders of Toastmasters are very welcoming,” said Espree. “Having members critique you in a positive way helps build up your confidence to speak, and I think it’s great because you don’t realize how many people are afraid to speak. I hope more people realize speaking to a crowd is not as hard as you would think.” Participants gave impromptu talks on assigned topics, simulated meetings and developed skills related to timekeeping, grammar and parliamentary procedures. “I thought the class was dynamic,” said Trisha Bruce, NSA Naples community member. “As a beginning speaker I learned a lot of powerful and insightful materials to use in my future endeavors.” For more information about the Toastmasters Club here at NSA Naples, call 081-568-4050.

What do I do if there is an earthquake? If you are indoors: • Do not run outside. There may be falling debris. • If possible, DROP to the ground, take COVER under a table or sturdy piece of furniture, and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. • The electricity may go out, so don’t use elevators.

7 Tens of thousands of eBooks and audio books available on Navy Knowledge Online June 8, 2012

Fleet engagement team stops by NSA Naples By MCSA Erik Luebke, Navy Public Affairs Support Element-East Detachment Europe

Navy Personnel Command’s fleet engagement team visited Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples May 29 and 30 to provide training on the topics of enlisted force shaping, detailing and distribution for all hands. Sailors who reported to the training learned more about force shaping tools such as Perform To Serve (PTS) and the Enlisted Retention Board (ERB). The training, which also took place in Gaeta May 31, focused on educating sailors about what tools are available to help them shape their careers. Several service members gave presentations, including Capt. Hank Roux, the head enlisted community manager for all non-nuclear rates; Master Chief Information Systems Technician (SW/EXW) Rich McGurr, the IT community manager; and Master Chief Navy Counselor (SS/SW/AW) Michael Cheshier, the Commander, Navy Instal lations Command force career counselor. “Our goal is to get out to the fleet and tell sailors how they can manage their career,” said Roux. “They need to be personally involved in managing their careers by maintaining awareness of their rate’s manning and advancement.” Sailors who attended one of the training sessions said they appreciated the brief and that the training will definitely influence their career opportunities. “I thought it was informative, especially with PTS,” said Yeoman Seaman Tasha Fratt, who is assigned to Naval Computer

and Telecommunications Station Naples. “I liked the slideshow, which explained PTS much more thoroughly and made it much easier to understand.” The fleet engagement team was also there to debunk myths surrounding PTS. Furthermore, the team took time to explain how detailers work with the Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) to help sailors find jobs. “Believe it or not, 92 percent of sailors going through PTS are getting exactly what they want,” said Roux. “During April’s PTS, 81 percent of applicants were approved to stay in-rate or for a change to another rate. Eleven percent of them voluntarily separated from the Navy, but only 8 percent were denied their final look at PTS. These numbers haven’t changed much in the last nine months.” Roux also said that while many sailors believe that detailers may be hiding jobs, this isn’t the case. CMS-ID is run by PERS 4013, the command advocate for the distribution of enlisted active duty personnel, which controls all the billets and shows them based on how badly the position needs to be filled. “Sailors who aren’t concerned with their career might not have a future in the Navy,” said Navy Counselor 1st Class (SW) Jorge Delgado, the NSA Naples command career counselor. “Having this information and knowing where you stand can help you plan your career, in or out of the Navy.” For more information on PTS and other force shaping tools, including rate manning charts, visit http://www.npc.navy.mil/.

The Navy General Library Program (NGLP) now offers more than 50,000 titles through Navy Knowledge Online (NKO), thanks to a partnership with Overdrive, the largest provider of eBooks and downloadable audio books to libraries worldwide, The Overdrive service was introduced on NKO in November 2005 when NGLP initiated its first partnership with the eBook and audio book provider, and has grown exponentially ever since. "We are constantly adding titles, more copies of titles, new content and new services,” said Nellie Moffitt, NGLP director. “With a digital library things are very dynamic, allowing us to constantly build our collection and offer more for our sailors and their families." Currently the program boasts more than 108,000 copies of eBooks and audio books, to include numerous copies of professional reading that support the Navy Professional Reading Program, as well as classics and popular titles such as the “Lord of the Rings” series and 'The Hunger Games.” Customers can keep the items from seven to thirty days and may have up to ten items checked out at any one time. In fiscal year 2011, more than 62,000 items were checked out, saving sailors and their families $2.6 million. "This program is a great resource that puts books for all ages at your fingertips,” said Lt. Katie Brennan, a Navy pediatric nurse practitioner at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital in northern Virginia. “I look forward to logging into NKO to download the next book onto my Kindle or iPad"," There are even special services for children. Preschoolers can have an eBook read to them on their parent's tablet, laptop or PC through the Tumblebooks: eBooks for ekids service. "The services for kids are great,” said Brennan. “I plan on telling parents who I see about this program because it's so easy, and it's a good way to spend time with each other and encourage reading.” Moffit said that the NKO’s electronic and audio book offerings have come a long way since the partnership with Overdrive began. “Just a few years ago we only had about 8,000 audio books and 400 eBooks available," added Moffitt. "I'm very happy with where we are now, and I only expect this program to grow and grow." Navy Library patrons may register for these services by logging into NKO at https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil.

Navy issues guidance for sailors transitioning from active duty to reserve From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

Deborah Moors, aquatics director for Morale, Welfare and Recreation at Naval Support Activity Naples, teaches students about water safety June 4.

WATER SAFETY

Continued from Page 1

During the June 4 training sessions, Naples Elementary School students were reminded to listen to pool lifeguards and were taught what it means when a lifeguard blows his or her whistle. Lifeguards use their whistles both to warn swimmers to stop unsafe behaviors and to tell people to get out of the pool, among other things, Moors said. “When you are at the pool, it is important to listen to those people with whistles — listen to the lifeguards,” Moors said. “They are there to keep you safe.” She also reminded students to avoid pushing and running when at the pool. “What happens if you push someone in the water and they’re not ready, or they can’t swim?” Moors asked a group of second-grade students. “They could drown.” Moors got big laughs from the students when she tried to reinforce an important lesson: not to use the pool as a toilet. Because of bathroom accidents, Naples MWR pools had to close for cleaning 11 times during a three-week period in summer 2009, she said. “Please make sure you go to the bathroom, because we don’t want to have to close the pool,” Moors said. Moors also told children to wear a life vest in the pool if they aren’t confident swimmers. She warned that Navy pools don’t allow floatation devices like water wings; rather, swimmers can only use floatation devices that have been approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Each pool has a selection of these floatation devices available for patron use, she said. Other lessons included not to dive into water without checking its depth, and how to respond when a friend is struggling in the water. Moors told the students they could throw a struggling

friend a floatation device or something to hold on to, but they shouldn’t jump in themselves. They should find a lifeguard or call for help instead. Julia Byler, physical education instructor at Naples High School, said she was hopeful that the students would put the safety information to good use this summer. Most seemed to respond well to Moors’ presentation, she said. “Every child this summer is going to swim — it’s a reality,” Byler said. “We want them to be able to be educated and be safe.”

The Navy announced guidance June 5 to streamline the process for activeduty sailors selected by Perform to Serve or the Early Career Transition Program to move to the Selected Reserves (SELRES). NAVADMIN 179/12 outlines a new process for active duty and full-timesupport sailors to receive Navy Personnel Command (NPC)-funded separation orders with an intermediate stop at their requested Navy Operational Support Center. "The benefit is a seamless transition from active duty to the Reserves," said Master Chief Navy Counselor (SW/AW) Joe Mack, NPC Career Transition Office (CTO). "Before Navy established CTO, a sailor would have to separate from the Navy and contact a Reserve recruiter in order to join the Reserves, which could take months. CTO continues to streamline the process." According to the message, sailors who receive a SELRES quota through Perform to Serve or the Early Career Transition Program must use Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) to select a Navy Operational Support Center nearest to the area they intend to reside after release from active duty. Working with their command career counselor, a completed Reserve affiliation screening checklist must be forwarded to the Career Transition Office to ensure completion of all required enlistment and Reserve affiliation documents prior to the sailor beginning terminal leave. Transitioning sailors who complete this process at least two months prior to separation will receive funded orders from their command to their Navy Operational Support Center, where they will complete the separation process and be able to enter the Reserves. Under this process, sailors affiliating with a Navy Operational Support Center more than 50 miles from their residence are authorized up to three days per diem while completing their active duty to SELRES processing. "This process will take an active duty sailor affiliating with the SELRES from their current assignment to their NOSC without a break in service," said Mack. Failure to comply with the process outlined in the message may cause delays in transitioning and require sailors to complete separation processing from their active component command. The sailor will then incur the expense in reporting to their selected Navy Operational Support Center. The Navy Reserve offers a two-year deployment deferment for sailors who join the Reserve within six months of leaving active duty. SELRES service requires a minimum commitment of one weekend a month and two weeks every year. However, flexible drilling options may be made available depending upon Reserve unit requirements and procedures. For more information, read NAVADMIN 179/12, which is available in the message section at www.npc.navy.mil.

This week in history: D-Day invasion U.S. European Command Historian

une 6 marked the 68th anniversary of the Allied landing on the beaches of Normandy, France, commonly known as D-Day. Throughout the week, service members with U.S. European Command held celebrations across the continent to honor those who fought and those who perished during the campaign. On the morning of June 6, 1944,160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight the troops of Nazi Germany. U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which "we will accept nothing less than full victory." More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day's end on June 6, the Allies gained a foothold in Normandy. At first, Hitler, believing that the invasion was a feint designed to distract the Germans from a coming attack north of the Seine River, refused to release nearby divisions to join the counterattack, and reinforcements had to be called from further afield, causing delays. He also hesitated in calling for armored divisions to help in the defense. In addition, the Germans were hampered by effective Allied air support, which took out many key bridges and forced the Germans to take long detours, as well as efficient Allied naval support, which helped protect advancing Allied troops. Though it did not go off exactly as planned, as later claimed by British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery (for example, the Allies were able to land only fractions of the supplies and vehicles they had intended in France) D-Day was a decided success. By the end of June, the Allies had 850,000 men and 150,000 vehicles in Normandy and were poised to continue their march across Europe. The D-Day cost was high — more than 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded — but it allowed more than 100,000 soldiers to begin the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

NOSC awards seniors $40,000 in scholarships From the Naples Overseas Spouses Club

The Naples Overseas Spouses Club (NOSC) is proud to announce its graduating Senior Student Scholarship recipients for 2012. Thanks to proceeds from the Forgotten Treasures Thrift Store, owned and operated by NOSC, the organization was able to award $40,000 in scholarships to members of the local community. The 12 recipients

were: Christian Amarillo, Samuel Arreguin, Alexis Chandler, Alexandra Foley, Jonathan Higgins, Madeline Johnson, Jack Murdock, Zachary Rady, Julia Smith, Peter Tranoris, Daniel Umstaedter and Kathleen Waller. The scholarship committee had a taxing job this year, since there were many highly qualified applicants. The individuals were chosen based on their academic

achievements, community service, extracurricular participation and a written essay. They received their award at the Senior Award Ceremony held June 5 at Naples High School. The NOSC Forgotten Treasures Thrift Store is run entirely by volunteers. These dedicated community members donate their time and energy to the thrift store; without them, the scholarship money would not be available.

5th-grade students at Naples Elementary School complete Drug Abuse Resistance Education training By MC2 Jeff S. Troutman, Navy Public Affairs Support Element-East Detachment Europe

Fifth grade students from Naples Elementary School (NES) recently completed an extensive Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program spearheaded by members of the Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples security department. The ten-week program promoted healthy decision-making and provided the students with the tools to resist drugs, alcohol and violence. Students graduated from the program during a special ceremony Monday, June 4. “It’s been a sincere honor and pleasure teaching the D.A.R.E. program at NES for the past two years,” said Master-at-Arms First Class (SW/AW) Richard Garner, the lead D.A.R.E. instructor and coordinator for NSA Naples. “The students we teach the program to are at a vulnerable age due to curiosity and fitting in socially, and they may not be fully aware of the dangers of drugs, alcohol and violence.” During the program, the students learned a variety of effective tools geared toward helping them make healthy decisions, including ways to say no to drugs and alcohol, positive and negative peer pressure indicators, and friendship foundation skills. Garner said he hoped the training he and his team provided would encourage the students to make smart choices about drugs, alcohol and other dangers. “The most rewarding experience of the past ten weeks I’ve shared with these students is interacting with them, entertaining their questions and concerns, and seeing their faces when they

realize just how harmful drugs, alcohol and tobacco can really be,” said Garner. The students were honored for their completion of the ten-week D.A.R.E. training program with a special graduation ceremony held at the school, which was attended by parents, faculty members and service members from the community. All of the students received a special certificate of completion for their hard work, and several students were honored for essays they wrote detailing their experiences during the training and how it affected their mindset towards drugs and alcohol. “This training taught me a lot about the dangers of drugs, tobacco and alcohol, and how these are very serious things we shouldn’t joke around with,” said Samantha Allen, a fifth grade student at NES. “Drugs and alcohol especially can have very harmful, longstanding effects on people, and this training will help me educate other people around me about how they can avoid making bad decisions with those substances.” Garner said he is optimistic that the students who went through the D.A.R.E. training will be able to pass on the knowledge they gained. “I hope they share what they have learned by talking to their friends that have not had the opportunity to go through the D.A.R.E. training course, and set a positive example to their peers,” said Garner. D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 by Daryl F. Gates, and is an international education program that seeks to prevent the use of drugs and alcohol, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. For more information on D.A.R.E., please visit the organization’s website at www.dare.org.

On June 5, 2012 the United States Army and the Naples military community lost a piece of its history. The passing of Herman Chanowitz at a very youthful 97 years of age marks the culmination of a lifetime of service that took him from the Midwestern United States to Africa, Italy, France, Germany, back to Chicago, and finally here to Naples – the home of his beloved wife of 67 years, Herman Chanowitz Adriana. Herman served three years as a captain in the United States Army Air Corps from 1942 to 1945. Unlike today’s alternating deployment and training cycles, Herman’s entire period of active service was spent deployed at war. As a member of the 2nd Tactical Air Communications Squadron, Herman participated in several battles in the Naples area: the assault landing at Salerno, “Operation Avalanche,” and the battles to liberate San Pietro and Cassino while attached to the 36th Infantry Division. Herman survived the advance on San Pietro that claimed more than 16,000 casualties. During a commemoration ceremony in 2008, Herman was presented the Lone Star Distinguished Service Medal by the 36th Infantry Division. Herman’s dedication to the U.S. Army did not subside after he left active service. Returning to Naples in 1978, he quickly reintegrated himself into the U.S. military community. He has passionately passed on his memories and experiences to all who were interested, from today’s soldiers to Fox News Correspondent Oliver North. Herman dedicated much of his time over the years to teaching university classes at the NATO garrison in Bagnoli and providing historic tours to visitors from all over the world. His ties to the U.S. military and the soldiers he served with were deeply ingrained in his character. Earlier this year, the U.S. Army NATO AFSOUTH Battalion renovated its battalion conference room and dedicated it the “Herman Chanowitz Conference Room.” The room is decorated with photographs commemorating Herman’s life of service and includes a portion of his personal library that he donated in hopes that today’s soldiers would not forget the past. When the new conference room was unveiled to Herman, his reaction was, “Well, maybe my name will live on after I’m gone – that would be nice.” Herman, we will not forget. The tangible and intangible fingerprints you have left on this community over the past 70 years will not be easily erased. Please allow me to extend a final thank you for all that you have done.

Energy conservation Computer System Energy Efficiency From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

At work, computer system energy efficiency means shutting things off when we don’t need them. Somebody else chooses our equipment and makes sure energy-saving “sleep mode” settings are enabled. Follow these simple steps to make sure your computer system gets all the latest updates, but also saves the most energy by getting some of the same time off work that you do. 1) At the end of the day, shut down your computer by going to the “Start/Shut Down” selection in the lower left hand corner of your monitor. 2) Make sure your computer’s central processing unit is plugged into surge-protected power that won’t be switched off when you leave. 3) Make sure peripheral units are plugged into a surge protected plug strip with a switch that is easy for you to reach, and switch it off when you shut down your computer. Peripheral units may include your monitor, speakers, a personal printer and scanner. As long as you follow steps one and two above, your computer can be energized remotely during the night to receive software updates. At home, in addition to shutting equipment off when you don’t need it, you can save energy by buying ENERGY STAR equipment and ensuring that power management “sleep mode” settings are enabled. You might also consider using a laptop instead of desktop unit for an energy savings of 50 to 80 percent.

The NSLI-Y program is funded by the U.S. Department of State and provides merit-based scholarships for eligible high school students to learn less commonly-taught languages in overseas immersion programs. The NSLI-Y scholarship enables Rabuse to study Chinese in China for the summer. The scholarship covers all program costs for participants, including domestic and international travel; tuition and related academic preparation; language testing; educational and cultural activities focused on language learning; orientations; meals; and accommodations, commonly with a host family. Rabuse is the third Naples High School student to receive the merit-based scholarship in the past two years. In 2011, Dylan Lewellyn and Samuel LeVault also traveled to China through the scholarship program. This summer, Rabuse will be following in their footsteps when he spends six weeks in Shanghai. The students’ success is a credit to the teaching of Francis “Chip” Noonan, Chinese language instructor at Naples High School, who helped inspire and encourage the students along the way. Launched as part of a U.S. Government initiative in 2006, NSLI-Y seeks to increase Americans’ capacity to engage with native speakers of critical languages by providing formal and

Don’t forget Flag Day on June 14 By (Ret.) Chief Master Sgt. Scott Hubbartt, U.S. Air Force Each year we Americans enjoy four special days set aside specifically to honor our veterans and comrades in arms. These four days — Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day and Flag Day — are intended to, in some small way, express the sentiments of a grateful nation. So what does it say of us when we forget, overlook, or brush simply brush aside the opportunity to honor the best among us? I understand that today our lives are more complicated and busier than ever. We have so much going on in our lives these days: school getting out, visiting relatives, graduations, and any number of other competing priorities. I hope each of us were able to honor, in some small or big way, all our heroes last November on Veteran’s Day. What of the other days? It’s perhaps easy to seek and find forgiveness for not making it out to the veterans’ cemetery on Memorial Day Monday, May 28. After all, who of us is not grateful for a day off, a chance to sleep in, fire up the grill, catch a new summer blockbuster, and recharge our batteries? Many might have also overlooked Armed Forces Day the week before, which President Harry S. Truman established in 1950 as a day when Americans could gather and thank U.S. military personnel for their service to the nation. Then there is that fourth special day, June 14, set aside to honor another veteran: a faithful comrade who has accompanied each of us and every serviceperson before us to battlefields and stations in virtually every corner of the globe. For more than two

On Flag Day June 14, everyone can take time to honor the U.S. flag and all it stands for. (U.S. Navy file photo) centuries this veteran has always been there with us — always faithful — and this vet is always ready for a parade. Our friend was there out at the cemetery on Memorial Day when we were too busy. Not to fret, he was present and accounted for, standing tall on Armed Forces Day as well. In fact, our friend is always there, and is often overlooked and taken for granted. Of course I am speaking of Old Glory, our flag — always faithful and decked out in full glorious parade dress uniform. Our friend has guided and comforted countless of us and our comrades in arms through the best and the worst of times. No doubt each of us can recall a moment when our flag was present that evokes strong emotions. Whether in a parade, at a funeral for a loved one, on the battlefield, on the tail of a plane, or over an embassy in a foreign land, our friend is always there and loves to be on parade. So, I ask you to celebrate Flag Day Thursday, June 14. Hoist up Old Glory, salute, and give our good friend the respect and recognition he deserves.

FOOD COURT Continued from Page 1

The Navy Exchange is negotiating the food vendor contracts for MWR. “We intend to open it as soon as possible,” Smith said. “Much depends on the success of the negotiations to contract with the food vendors, and the time they will take to transform the ‘white

boxes’ into the contracted concepts.” The existing main dining area at Capodichino, called Capo Landing, will ultimately close once the new food court is operational, Smith said. “The plan is for the Capo Landing to overlap briefly with the opening of the food court,” Smith said. “The Capo Landing will then close and NSA will designate the space to meet other requirements.”

The design of the new facility is intended to resemble an Italian piazza, Ingalls said, with eating space in the center and vendors along the outside. “While it is not a literal piazza, the new space will have architectural features and materials that break up the space and add to the piazza feel,” Ingalls said. The pub that will occupy the new facility will face the piazza and feature traditional pub décor, he added. A graphic rendering of the proposed food court interior shows groups of tables clustered beneath a pergola, along with a few tables surmounted by umbrellas. Walkways surround the seating area, providing access to vendors along the walls. Ingalls said that the design is still being finalized, but at least some aspects of the rendering should be seen in the completed facility. “The pergola concept will likely be in the final design,” Ingalls said.
