As the clash between cybersecurity and privacy concerns lingers in the headlines and the courts following tech giant Apple’s refusal of a court order involving data encryption, Defense Department leaders continue their quest to build partnerships with tech industry leaders. Privacy and security are and will remain the “two imperatives” in safeguarding the nation’s cyber domain, the Defense Department’s cyber chief told a tech audience in San Francisco yesterday. Navy Adm. Michael S. Rogers, commander of U.S. Cyber Command, spoke at the 25th annual RSA Conference, a gathering of technology and security professionals.

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

March is women’s history month, and celebrates the contributions and achievements of women to events in history and society. This year, the Navy encourages us to celebrate and reflect on the theme “Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government.” Through their dedication, service and leadership, women have been integral to the Navy’s storied history and vital to its future. Naval history is rich with outstanding female leadership from YNC Loretta Perfectus Walsh who became the first female chief petty officer in the United States Navy in March 1917, to Adm. Michelle J. Howard who became the Navy’s first female 4-star admiral and Vice Chief of Naval Operations in 2014. Today, women comprise 18 percent of the Navy and are central to our national security mission. Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our nation. On Tuesday evening I held a quarterly town hall in the Support Site Movie Theater. For the first time ever the town hall was broadcast live on AFN 107.0, The Eagle. After a brief presentation from NCIS, the Hospital, and NSA, I opened the floor to the community to pose their questions to me, the audience, and those listening in on the radio. Questions ranged from cyberbullying to postal issues, commissary concerns, and housing inquiries. I will continue to hold town hall meetings every quarter, and I encourage all community members to attend the events and if you are not physically able to attend, then listen in via AFN for the most up to date information on your installation. This is a great way to share information and have your voice heard. Navy Region Europe Africa Southwest Asia held its change of command this past Thursday as Rear Adm. John Scorby exchanged command with Rear Adm. Rick Williamson. It has been an honor working for Rear Adm. Scorby over the past years as the Region Commander. As NSA Commanding Officer I had the pleasure of frequent meetings and other interactions with Rear Adm. Scorby, and can tell you personally that I will miss his leadership, insight, and commitment to NSA Naples. Fair winds and following seas to Rear Adm. Scorby and Chris as they make their next step in continuing a long career of exceptional service to the Navy and our families. Have a great weekend. Please slow down on the roads, remain vigilant, and stay safe!

NAVY HISTORY: PERRY SIGNS TREATY WITH JAPAN From the U.S. Department of State Historian

On July 8, 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry led his four ships into the harbor at Tokyo Bay, seeking to reestablish for the first time in more than 200 years regular trade and discourse between Japan and the western world. There were several reasons why the United States became interested in revitalizing contact with Japan. First, the combination of the opening of Chinese ports to regular trade and the annexation of California, creating an American port on the Pacific, ensured that there would be a steady stream of maritime traffic between North America and Asia. Then, as American traders in the Pacific replaced sailing ships with steam ships, they needed to secure coaling stations, where they could stop to take on provisions and fuel while making the long trip from the United States to China. Perry’s mission was not the first American overture to the Japanese. In the 1830s, the Far Eastern squadron of the U.S. Navy sent several missions from its regional base in Guangzhou (Canton), China, but in each case, the Japanese did not permit them to land, and they lacked the authority from the U.S. Government to force the issue. Perry arrived in Japanese waters with a small squadron of U.S. Navy ships, because he and others believed the only way to convince the Japanese to accept western trade was to display a willingness to use its advanced firepower. At the same time, Perry brought along a variety of gifts for the Japanese Emperor, including a working model of a steam locomotive, a tele-

scope, a telegraph, and a variety of wines and liquors from the West, all intended to impress upon the Japanese the superiority of Western culture. His mission was to complete an agreement with the Japanese Government for the protection of shipwrecked or stranded Americans and to open one or more ports for supplies and refueling. Displaying his audacity and readiness to use force, Perry’s approach into the forbidden waters around Tokyo convinced the Japanese authorities to accept the letter. The following spring, on March 8, 1854, Perry returned with an even larger squadron to receive Japan’s answer. The Japanese grudgingly agreed to Perry’s demands, and the two sides signed the Treaty of Kanagawa on March 31, 1854. According to the terms of the treaty, Japan would protect stranded seamen and open two ports for refueling and provisioning American ships: Shimoda and Hakodate. Japan also gave the United States the right to appoint consuls to live in these port cities, a privilege not previously granted to foreign nations. This treaty was not a commercial treaty, and it did not guarantee the right to trade with Japan. Still, in ad-

dition to providing for distressed American ships in Japanese waters, it contained a most-favored-nation clause, so that all future concessions Japan granted to other foreign powers would also be granted to the United States. As a result, Perry’s treaty provided an opening that would allow future American contact and trade with Japan.

SPOTLIGHT: HM3 DUSTIN A. FULTON

A Kuna, Idaho, native, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Dustin A. Fulton joined the Navy in January of 2013 and attended Hospital Corpsman “A” School in San Antonio, Texas. After graduation, he completed Advanced Radiography “C” school. He has served at U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples, Italy, as a dynamic factor in the Radiology Department since September 2014. “I was excited about moving abroad because I would get to see and experience new things, but also nervous because I would be so far from everything and everyone I know.” Fulton quickly emerged as a skillful technician through his strong work ethic and willingness to diversify in other imaging modalities. He is the go-to person for fluoroscopy, and is trained in Computed Tomography (CT), which allows the hospital to provide 24-hour, seven-days-a-week coverage of specialty care for the region. Fulton is interested in attending Field Medical Training Battalion after his tour at USNH Naples, and his future aspiration is to gain a commission in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

Attention: All Support Site Housing Residents March is the start of our Spring PMI (Preventative Maintenance) by the Base Contractor. You are kindly reminded that all apartment smoke detectors need to be installed and operating. If you have taken down these smoke detectors, call the Housing Trouble Desk at 629-4285/4286 to have them reinstalled. This is a safety requirement and you may be charged $150 for each missing smoke detector.

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended. Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage. All economy leases negotiated

through the Housing office have a bottle water clause, which requires the landlord to provide bottled water. Work with landlords to have any water holding tanks disinfected twice a year, and ensure your tap water is disconnected from non-permitted wells and connected only to the city water system.

Saving Energy From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

What can I do to save energy? What is the difference between energy conservation and energy efficiency? Everyone uses energy People use energy each day for transportation, cooking, heating and cooling rooms, manufacturing, lighting, entertainment, and many other uses. The choices people make about how they use energy—turning machines off when they're not using them or choosing to buy fuel-efficient vehicles and energyefficient appliances—affects the environment and everyone's lives. Efficiency and conservation are different but related The terms energy conservation and energy efficiency have two distinct meanings. There are many ways people can use less energy (conservation) and many ways people can use energy more wisely (efficiency). Energy conservation is any behavior that results in the use of less energy. Turning the lights off when leaving the room and recycling aluminum cans are both ways of conserving energy. Energy efficiency is the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function. Using a compact fluorescent light bulb that requires less energy rather than using an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light is an example of energy efficiency.

Italians Fete Women, Cultural Heritage in March By Lou Freed

While blooming mimosa trees and wildflowers are broadcasting “la primavera” is in the horizon, residents are now looking forward to “Festa di San Giuseppe” and “Festa del Papa’” March 19. The arrival of spring also provides opportunities to experience sumptuous Italian cultural heritage. As an aside, Italian stalwarts, Michelangelo and Amerigo Vespucci were both born in March. Lastly, in anticipating Easter on March 25 this year, chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs in various colors and sizes are cropping up in food stores, shopping malls and boutiques. San Carlo Theater programs women themes On March 14, mezzosoprano Daniela Barcellona and pianist Alessandro Vitiello will take to stage songs from works by Giovanni Rossini, Francesco Paolo Tosti and Gaetano Donizetti. Subsequently, Roland Petit’s “Coppelia” ballet is programmed March 31-April 12. The story presents a doctor successfully creating a dancing doll so life-like that Franz, a village youth, falls in love with it at the expense of his girlfriend, Swanhilda. To keep Franz, Swanhilda comes up with an entertaining and graceful strategy to delight her love. Among the interpreters will be Luigi Bonino and Massimo Sorrentino as Coppelius; Anbeta Toromani and Ksenia Ryzhkova as Swanhilda along with Alessandro Macariom and Dimitrij Sobolevskij as Franz. Also on the program are the San Carlo Theater’s Orchestra and Ballet Company. For bookings, visit http://www.teatrosancarlo.it Festa di San Giuseppe In addition to a Mass honor-

ing the saint on March 19, bonfires and reenactments of St. Joseph’s life are part of the celebrations, according to tourism sources. On the same day, Italy celebrates Father’s Day, and as local tradition goes, the buxom-looking zeppola (pl. zeppole), a round pastry topped with cream and cherry, is sold in great quantities at bakeries and coffee shops. The Italian tradition of serving up the pastry on St. Joseph’s day has been attributed to Sicilian pastry chefs looking upon the saint as their patron. With coffee, tea or chilled spumante, the cream and cherry enriched delight is divine. FAI’s Spring Days The Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI) invites everyone March 19-20 to visit hundreds of awesome Italian state, historic buildings and other sites the organization has preserved or has helped to preserve. Since 1975 the environmental group has been promoting respect and preservation of Italian nature, art, history and traditions fundamental to Italian roots and identity. Contributions

and memberships to the foundation are welcome during the two-day program. For details visit “Giornate FAI di Primavera” at http://www.fondoambiente.it/ Mediterranean Tourism Trade Fair Tour operators to lay exciting travel destinations on travel and hospitality agents

CYBER from page 1 In meeting those demands, Rogers said, “We are spending a lot of time going back to the fundamentals: how do you create a network in which defensibility, redundancy and reliability are core design characteristics?” Many existing networks and systems were built in a very different time and a place, when the threat of adversaries appeared small, he said, while now even data storage is an increasingly valuable target, given the “many who have a strong desire to steal it.” Rogers said Cyber Command is about halfway through building a 6,200-person “dedicated, high-end cyber mission force,” slated to form 133 teams to operate across the three mission areas. The workforce is scheduled to be fully mission-capable with the next three years, Rogers said. He added, “As soon as we can bring capability online we’re employing it … we can’t wait for it to be perfect.” Moving from Transactions to Partnerships Rogers told his audience Cyber Command wants to build private-sector partnerships to further its cyber missions. “I believe in what you bring to this fight,” he said. “I believe in the knowledge and the innovation that you help power.” Cyber Command has established a small presence in Silicon Valley made up largely of reservists who work in the tech sector, Rogers said. The goal, he said, is “to bridge the differences in perspective and the lack of knowledge and insight that at times we each have about the other.” He also seeks more interaction with academic institutions, including Stanford, Berkeley and others, he said, “Because I believe that the academic perspective, the research and the insights they develop are also important for us.” Cyber Command regularly exercises its capabilities to prepare for future real-world operations, he noted. “I encourage industry, I encourage all of you in your organizations – we want to partner,” Rogers said. “And if you’re interested in being involved in some of those exercises, we welcome your participation.” Balancing Protection, Privacy with Security, Safety Rogers outlined the NSA mission set, which combines foreign intelligence gathering on one hand with information assurance on the other. That information assurance role increasingly involves the private sector, he said. While he said wouldn’t have predicted his role as NSA chief would require him to deal with a motion-picture company, “in the aftermath of the hack against Sony, … it’s the nature of the world we find ourselves in, and I see that only developing further.” The NSA has specialized knowledge of adversary strategies and how to mitigate possible weaknesses, he said, and “there is no silver bullet, no single answer” to solve cyber security challenges. The nation counts on the NSA to help ensure its safety and security, Rogers said. “How do we ensure the protection and the privacy of our rights as citizens, which is fundamental to our very construct as a nation?” he asked. “It’s what drove the creation of this thing in the first place. … At the same time, we’ve also got to figure out how … we ensure the security and the safety of those same citizens.”

Who Was Saint Patrick? By Gary Nichols NSA Public Affairs

St. Patrick’s Day has become a popular holiday – which is celebrated on March 17 each year – to honor the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, who is credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish people. Irish immigrants began observing the holiday in Boston in 1737, and the first St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in New York City in 1766. Here’s some background on the person who is celebrated on this holiday. The real St. Patrick wasn’t even Irish. He was born in Britain around 390 A.D. to an a rich Christian family who owned property and slaves. As a young boy, it is believed Patrick showed no interest in Christianity. When he was 16, he was kidnapped and sent overseas to the wild, chilly and pagan country of Ireland to tend sheep for seven years. This was a very tough period of his life, and during this time he became a true believer in the Christian faith. According to legend, voices in his dreams told Patrick to escape from Ireland. He found passage on a pirate ship back to Britain, where he was eventually reunited with his family. While in Britain he became ordained as a

priest. He then returned to Ireland, and then spent the rest of his life converting Irish pagans to Christianity. He died on March 17, 461, and was almost forgotten. Eventually as Christianity spread around Ireland, his legend grew, and centuries later he was honored by the people of Ireland as its patron saint. Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world. Some other interesting things about St. Patrick’s Day: It is widely believed St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. However, there have never been snakes in Ireland, then or now, for two reasons: Ireland is an island, and most snakes can’t swim; Plus, the environment was too cold for snakes to live. Most scholars believe “snakes” is symbolic of the pagans, which Patrick “drove out” by converting them to Christianity. Most people, whether they are Irish or not, wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. One of the traditions is to pinch anyone who is not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day. Corned beef and cabbage are traditional foods eaten on St. Patrick’s Day. The shamrock is often worn as a badge or pin. The three leaves, as taught by St. Patrick, also represented the Christian Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
