U.S. Soldier Represents JFC Naples at NCO Winter Camp in Slovenia

By U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Mark Patton JFC Public Affairs

There’s not much U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Leverion Wynn hasn’t done in his nearly 20 years of military service and four combat deployments.

The 38-year-old native of Dudley, North Carolina, can now add one more accomplishment to his resume. Thanks to a recent noncommissioned officer course, he learned to ski.

Wynn, who currently serves as a logistics operations NCO, was chosen to represent Allied Joint Force Command Naples at the 10th International NATO and Partners for Peace NCO Winter Camp at Pokljuka, Slovenia, March 3 to 10, 2017.

The course, which included 28 NCOs from 14 NATO and Partners for Peace nations, culminated with a biathlon competition that combined skiing and shooting.

For a Soldier who had never donned skis before, Wynn was pleased with how far he came during his week in Slovenia. He described standing on top of the biggest hill around at the beginning of the course, weighed down with his rucksack and gear, hoping his skis would guide him to the bottom.

Members of Slovenia’s Armed Forces and instructors of the 132nd Mountain Regiment and Mountain Warfare Centre of Excellence utilized the sink-or-swim approach to see which participants would need more training to get up to speed with skis. Wynn said another Albanian

Soldier was also struggling during the first run, but they motivated each other to the bottom of the hill. A more experienced British participant also helped the duo through their initial run.

“I kept falling,” Wynn recalled. “I was going fast, but I couldn’t stop. By the end, I was getting good.”

Applicants moved through various stations where they filled out applications, participated in panel interviews and

completed forms for background checks. They were also fingerprinted and drug tested, and received appointments for physicals. The hiring event surpassed expectations, with 45 new hires expected to report to their new jobs in the next two or three weeks.

Teams of expert personnel

from MWR, CYP, Human Resources, Security and Occupational Health coordinated the hiring event process.

One of those experts was NSA Naples MWR Director Anthony Smith who was pleased at the positive results from the hiring event.

From DoD News

The April 6 U.S. military missile strike that targeted Shayrat airfield in Syria was a measured response to Syrian President Bashar Assad regime’s April 4 chemical weapons attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said in a statement issued on April 10.

Deter Future Use of Chemical Weapons President Donald J. Trump directed the strike to deter future use of chemical weapons and to show the United States will not passively stand by while Assad murders innocent people with chemical weapons, which are prohibited by international law and which were declared destroyed, Mattis added.

The Defense Department’s assessment is that the strike resulted in the damage or destruction of fuel and ammunition sites, air defense capabilities and 20 percent of Syria’s operational aircraft, the secretary said.

The Syrian government, he added, has lost the ability to refuel or rearm aircraft at Shayrat airfield and at this point, use of the runway is of idle military interest.

The Syrian government would be ill-advised ever again to use chemical weapons, Mattis said.

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

Please join us this Saturday at Carney Park for the Easter Eggstravaganza. If you’re new to the area, this is a family event that the MWR team puts on each year with activities and fun for children of all ages. For more information about it, check out the NSA Naples Facebook page. As always, whether you’re hunting for Easter eggs or exploring underground Naples this weekend, keep safety in mind!

The NSA Naples area SAPR team has done an excellent job this past week keeping our focus on sexual assault, how to recognize sketchy situations, how to step in and prevent it, and what services are available to our service members, civilians, and dependents. Please also keep in mind our continued effort to raise awareness and keep sexual assault out of our community. As a reminder, every Wednesday this month from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the SAPR team will be out in front of Bella Napoli at Capodichino to answer questions and to introduce the community to your SAPR program Victim Advocates.

I highly recommend coming out and learning who these dedicated people are and how they support the community. Each tenant command and organization is required to have at least two Victim Advocates, and because of frequent PCS transfers we are always looking for new volunteers. If you would like to volunteer to be a Victim Advocate and represent your command, please contact the SAPR team at FFSC to sign up for the class and get started.

April is also the month to celebrate military children! Our families are our greatest supporters and the children of military families are some of the strongest members of our Armed Forces community. Frequent moves to military installations around the world can sometimes be a stressor for families, and kids in particular. We recognize the challenges of this lifestyle and through a number of programs we work to build resiliency in our children. They are the future, so please put aside some time this month to celebrate and support the children in your lives and in our community.

After the hugely successful CYP hiring fair, there are many who may also be interested in the FFSC job fair coming up on April 20th. Please mark your calendars! If you are interested in applying for a job or pursuing a career while here in Naples, please dust off your resume and stop by the Support Site community center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. You’ll be able network with more than 11 organizations from all over base!

Finally, as Easter and Passover celebrations continue this weekend, please keep safety in mind and be on the lookout for suspicious behavior. If you see something suspicious, say something immediately and contact Dispatch so we can get the appropriate agencies involved quickly.

Stay safe and have a great weekend!

Apr. 21 and May 5: Marriage Enrichment Workshop CREDO is providing two, one day Marriage Enrichment workshops April 21 and May 5 at the Bella Napoli Training Room on board Capodichino from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. When it comes to loving the most important people in our lives, no one can ever learn too much. Research shows that while therapy can be helpful in certain situations, much of what goes wrong in loving relationships has much to do with never having learned the skills and principles associated with successful relationships. That’s why CREDO wants to teach couples and individuals the skills and principles they need to maintain a healthy and lasting relationship. Couples are responsible for their own childcare. For registration or details call CREDO at DSN 626-5255 or email credo@eu.navy.mil or visit Facebook at credo.eu CNREURAFSWA Equal Employment Opportunity Office Seeking Counselors The CNREURAFSWA Equal Employment Opportunity Office is recruiting DON civilians interested in serving as collateral-duty EEO counselors, which are collateral-duty assignments.

This weekend about half a million tourists are expected in Rome and the Vatican, along with hundreds of thousands more flocking to the sun-drenched areas further south, including Naples and the world-famous Amalfi Coast for the long Easter weekend.

With crowds are also increased risks of the ever-present con artists and pickpockets. But, sadly, there is also an increased risk of terrorist activities. Rogue operators – either individually or in small groups – are wielding knives, guns,

By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Daniel Barker

A member of the Naples Support Activity Naples community performed on “Italia’s Got Talent” as part of the performance group CorAcor, Napoli Rainbow Choir, which aired on April 7.

Daniela Andinolfi, who works at Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia on board Capodichino, has been singing consistently since she was 13, studying music and taking private lessons during all that time, continuing still today. Many of the styles she can commonly be seen performing involve jazz, soul and gospel rhythms and traditions. Recently she sang and performed with a local group in Naples, the CorAcor, Napoli Rainbow choir, known for their support of the LGBT community and equal rights.

CorAcor stands for Coro Arcobaleno (Rainbow Choir) “I was honored to have the opportunity sing with CorAcor for events,” Andinolfi said.

“They have a very heartfelt, strong message, that it doesn’t matter who you are, what matters is your soul. They try to have that message come through in their singing.”

He entered the Navy as a civil engineer in October 1881. His first real assignment was – ironically – to the tropics to lead a party which surveyed a route for the proposed Nicaraguan Canal.

WINTER SOLDIER From page 1 Although the camp participants spent a lot of time skiing – up and down as no ski lift use was allowed – it wasn’t just slope skills that were enhanced during the course.

The NCOs also studied leadership, rappelling, mountain climbing and participated in education exercises. The group also took in a local museum where they learned Slovenian history.

The participants even took on the challenge of learning mountain survival skills. At one point, the instructors placed objects in the snow, and the NCOs had to probe and use tracking devices to locate the hidden objects. Wynn said that he got a great appreciation for how critical time

It is that time of year again when the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and the temperature is rising. Starting May 1 the Public Works Department will begin to adjust the HVAC systems in preparation for the summer months.

System set points will be adjusted in order to ensure room temperature comply with the Naval Support Activity Naples Energy Instruction.

This process will occur over a span of several weeks. Occupants are asked to be patient.

is when an emergency happens like an avalanche.

Although skiing for the first time and trying to maintain steady aim with a rifle after cross-country skiing during the biathlon was satisfying, Wynn said overcoming challenges with his international peers was the highlight of the course.

“In a week we built some strong relationships,” Wynn said. “The camaraderie and being with those other guys … that was the best part of it.”

Wynn highlighted the benefit of learning and talking about how different countries operate, specifically with their NCO structure. He did say despite some differences, there are striking similarities.

“All the NCOs there have the same values,” Wynn said

about his international peers at the course. “Although each has different tools to work with, we have a common goal.”

Another proud moment for Wynn occurred one day during a lunch break. A group of kids were gathered at a nearby table, and Wynn heard them whispering and looking his way. He decided to get up and greet the children, and they were eager to shake his hand and say “What’s up” in their best English.

According to Wynn, additional benefits to the course are the lessons in leadership and culture that troops can take back to their units after completing the camp.

“More NCOs need to make efforts to get to these schools,” Wynn said.

Naples Middle High School Students Lead Art Tours at Archaeological Museum in Succivo

By Joanne Giubilato Naples Middle High School

Several students from Art and Italian Language classes at Naples High School participated in an “Adopt a Monument” project, coordinated by NMHS Italian language teacher Roberta Pennasilico and the Fondo Ambiente Italia (FAI), which is the Italian Association for the preservation and protection of Italian Monuments, at the Archaeological Museum in Succivo (located just a few minutes from Support Site) over the last weekend of March.

The students volunteered from Art classes and Italian language programs at the NMHS to be volunteer ambassador guides at the museum where the artifacts, which were unearthed at Support Site are on display.

During the early phases of the construction for Support Site in 1995 it was quickly discovered that there were unknown and invaluable archaeological artifacts dating nearly 3,000 years ago. Among the discoveries unearthed included a small necropolis and 93 intact tombs. Though not as famous as nearby Pompeii, the findings at Support Site are of immense importance

and offer a glimpse into the surprisingly sophisticated lifestyle and business practices of the ancient Italians who lived in this area.

This “Circle of Life and History” was a historic moment over the weekend; creating an alliance with the Americans students and the Archaeological Museum.

The American students practiced their Italian language skills in their role as museum guides, and in addition art students drew the artifacts. The show of new friendship, which will continue in the following years, has come to life with a momentous collaboration between the American and Italian communities.

The project was very successful, as the flow of tourists was quite significant and our students did a wonderful job in explaining the archaeological value of the displayed artifacts, in both English and Italian. They also had the chance to interact with the many Italian students who were acting as tour guides in different areas of the museum.

“I know so much more about the History of this are after this experience,” 8th grader Kristen McRae said. “I in-

teracted with a lot of Italian students and learned so much about ancient artifacts.”

“The FAI project is a very fun and informative experience; it is great to learn how to interact with Italians in such a unique way,” 12th grader John Sullivan said. “I really learned a lot about Italian history and culture.”

We would like to thank Ms. Valeria

Cacciapuoti, who is responsible for FAI in the area of Succivo, and our school principal, Mr. Dominick Calabria, for supporting this unique and valuable learning experience for our students.

Calabria was caught up in the spirit of the project. “We at Naples MHS fully support this great activity to honor and respect our host country and local community,” he said.

Kimberly Deakins, Human Resources Specialist, verifies documents at a one-of-akind Child and Youth Programs (CYP) Hiring Event, which was held March 29 at the Support Site Youth Center Gym to fill 40-plus positions throughout the Child & Youth Programs. This was only the fifth CYP Hiring Event conducted by CNIC, and the first ever held in the European Region Photo by Steven Repik

CYP JOB FAIR From page 1 “Not only were we able to fill many vacant positions, we were able to speed up the hiring process from several months to several weeks,” Smith said. “Most importantly, however, this event will allow CYP the ability to support our military families with high quality childcare.”

This was only the fifth CYP Hiring Event conducted by

CNIC, and the first ever held in the European Region.

CYP was seeking enthusiastic candidates to fill regular full-time, part-time and flexible positions in the Child Development Centers, School-Age Care, Youth Sports and Fitness, and the Teen Center programs; and in return offered excellent employment opportunities and exceptional benefits, including employment transfers due to

PCS moves.

School Liaison Officer Shannon McCaulley, who was on the interview panel, said she was impressed with the highly qualified community members that applied for positions with our Child and Youth Programs.

“The passion and energy demonstrated by veteran teachers and coaches, as well as the individuals looking to start their career working with children, will be a tremendous benefit to our community,” McCaulley said.

With performance outpacing expectations, MWR is moving forward to recruit more community members who wish to work in the recreation department. Everyone is invited to the upcoming Job Fair on April 20 at the Support Site Community Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“There are still many positions open throughout the entire MWR Department,” Smith said. “We will be on site again, to provide information on all the opportunities available, and look forward to filling more vacancies in our MWR team.”

Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job – inside the CHP. The inexperienced rookie and the hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than they click, so kick-starting a real partnership is easier said than done.

Spring Break Destination: Spain

By Jim Freed

It’s time to break out Google and start planning your summer European vacation. So, how about Spain? It has so many interesting places it’s really difficult to choose just one.

You might consider doing a tour, or even renting a car to venture out on your own. Driving is easy and while Spain is a large country, you can group destinations and see quite a bit in a short time.

How to get there? There are commercial flights from Naples to Madrid, or you might want to try the overnight ferry to Barcelona from Civitavecchia, Rome’s major port. Space A to Rota might also be an option if you have more time. Here are just a few of the many wonderful destinations you might consider.

If you fly into Madrid, don’t miss the Prado, one of Europe’s top art museums, with its focus on Goya, El Greco

and Velázquez art. Picasso’s massive painting, “Guernica,” depicting the bombing of that town has been moved from the Prado to the Queen Sofia museum, also worth a visit. Plaza de Espania, the Royal Palace with its adjacent gardens and the Cathedral of the Madonna are all close together for a selfguided walking tour. And don’t miss the shopping. Madrid has something for everyone on your list.

One destination that’s sure to please is Barcelona. Take a walk along La Rambla, a boulevard that begins from the Columbus monument at the port and continues for over a kilometer to the Placa de Cataluña. Along the way are shops, sidewalk restaurants, lots of mimes and the famous Boqueria Market, with aisles of exotic foods and colorful characters. You might even consider contacting the tourism office to join a walking tour. Barcelona is also an art town with the famous Gaudi

Sacred Family Cathedral and Park Güell, and both Picasso and Miró museums. If you’re a beach person, there are a number of good ones just outside town.

If you enter Spain through Rota, two destinations stand out: Seville and Cordoba.

Seville’s Plaza de Espania in the Maria Luisa Park is a breathtaking monument to Spain’s colonial days, with colorful displays of tile work depicting the glory and wealth of Spain in the years following Columbus’ discovery. The Alcazar, with its fascinating Moorish artwork and buildings is another top visit in Seville.

Cordoba, with its Great Mosque, currently a Catholic cathedral, is a breathtaking experience. This unique building site was begun in the 8th century and served as a mosque until the 13th century when it became the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption. It’s also a UNESCO

Flamenco dancing is unique to Spain. The singer improvises a song and the dancers interpret it with sometimes violent heel tapping and dramatic moves. Photo by Jim Freed

World Heritage site. The cavernous collection of Moorish arches is a cool place to stroll on a hot Spanish day, No matter where you decide to visit in Spain, don’t miss the opportunity to take in an authentic Flamenco show. This unique variety of Spanish en-

tertainment captures the flavor and excitement of Spain like nothing else can. The singer tells an extemporaneous tale with his song as the dancers interpret what he is singing. The hand-clapping, foot-stomping exuberance is unlike anything else in Europe.

Easter Fun Facts From NSA Public Affairs

● In the early 19th century, the first chocolate eggs were made in Europe.

They remain among the most popular treats associated with Easter. ● About 66 percent of Americans prefer solid chocolate bunnies over hollow ones. ● Eighty-nine percent of Americans believe the proper way to eat a chocolate Easter bunny is ears first. Roughly six percent go for the feet, and five percent begin with the tail. ● A slight majority of survey respondents (52 percent) say the Easter bunny came before the Easter egg. ● Largest Easter egg hunt consisted of 501,000 eggs that were searched for by 9,753 children accompanied by their parents at the Cypress Gardens Adventure Park in Winter Haven, Fla., in 2007. ● The largest chocolate rabbit weighed 8,488

pounds and was made by Brazilian company Senac-RS, for the city of Gramado’s annual “Chocofest” in 2014. ● In 2007, community leaders in Delta, Ohio, organized the largest bunny hop in honor of Delta High School, whose mascot is the rabbit. ● Flemish giant rabbit owned by Annette Edwards, of England, was measured at four feet, three inches long in 2010. ● The largest chocolate Easter egg weighed 15,873 pounds, 4.48 ounces, and had a circumference of 64 feet, 3.65 inches at its widest point and was made in Tosca, Italy, in 2011. ● An astounding 16 billion jelly beans are made exclusively for Easter. That’s enough beans to fill a plastic egg the size of a nine story building.
