Defense Secretary Jim Mattis launched a full-throated attack on looming across-theboard spending cuts during a June 12, 2017, budget hearing on Capitol Hill, saying “no enemy in the field has done more to harm the combat readiness of our military than sequestration.”

The sequestration provision of the Budget Control Act of 2011 imposes across-theboard spending cuts if Congress and the White House cannot agree on more targeted cuts.

Testifying before the House Armed Services Committee about the president’s fiscal year 2018 defense budget request, Mattis also addressed the erosion of American military dominance in a time of increased uncertainty and dangers.

The proposed fiscal 2018 budget calls for a $639.1 billion topline. This breaks down to $574.5 billion for the Defense Department’s base budget requirements and $64.6 billion for overseas contingency operations.

‘No Room for Complacency’ The American military remains the strongest force on the face of the Earth, but “there is no room for complacency, and we have no Godgiven right to victory on the battlefield,” Mattis said.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the NSA Naples community for consistently demonstrating outstanding values through multiple and repeated contributions and volunteer actions. Volunteers in coordination with our Fire Department, Operations Department, Chapel personnel, and MWR team did a great job welcoming Italian school children from Santa Chiara elementary school during their tour of Capo on June 9, and collected, fixed, repaired and donated over 100 bicycles to charity organizations supporting Italy and Africa. These outreach and volunteer events cultivate a positive relationship with our host nation and provide direction for those of us looking to get involved.

I’d like to give a special shout out to our 150 local College graduates. Fifty of them walked across the stage yesterday to receive diplomas, awards and special recognition. The Navy is committed to personal growth, and maintaining a vibrant college education system and fully funding tuition assistance programs sends a clear message that education is a critical component of military service.

Next week, NSA Naples will participate in an Operational Readiness Assessment. This exercise assesses the base’s ability to monitor, react, and respond to crisis situations we could encounter in our area of responsibility. Without getting into too much detail, this training is essential in keeping your team ready for the most challenging force protection, medical, and other emergencies that could occur. If you’re on Capo, Support Site, or Carney Park between June 19 and 21, please pay special attention to announcements made over our Giant Voice public announcement system and AtHOC notifications. Doing so will help us prevent activity related to the drills being mistakenly reported. It will also help us keep people informed about the current exercise situation as the scenario develops.

This month is the start of “FEST” season! We have SummerFEST this weekend, PizzaFEST on June 20, and FESTa Americana on June 30 and July 1. Especially for those who are new to the area, there is no shortage of entertainment and recreational events for you and your families to enjoy. I’d like to put a plug in for Festa Americana especially, where we celebrate the Nation’s birthday. This is the one base event of the year where we encourage you to invite your Italian friends and neighbors to come celebrate with us in Carney Park on July 1. It’s going to be a GREAT time, with an opening celebration at 6 p.m., live music, softball tournament, food, rides, and fireworks! Tickets are available through MWR. We are in the critical days of summer, so please slow down while driving, especially on the base, and stay vigilant for hazards!

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

1st Century B.C. ‘Statue of Zeus Enthroned’ Returning to Italy The Los Angeles-based J. Paul Getty Museum is returning a marble statuette – “Statue of Zeus Enthroned” – from the 1st century B.C. to Italy.

The Getty Museum’s policy is that when a foreign government submits compelling evidence that an object in its collection was put on the antiquities market illegally, the museum will seek to return the object back to the country of origin. The Getty Museum purchased “Zeus Enthroned” in 1992.The statue is a 29-inch-high piece and it is thought to have originally been housed in the private shrine of a rich Greek or Roman home. It appears to have spent a good deal of time in the ocean, as it is partially covered with marine incrustations. Dozens of objects have been repatriated to Italy and Greece in recent years. Getty Museum Director Timothy Potts said that his museum greatly values its relationships with Italian colleagues in museums and other cultural sectors and the decision to return this object continues the work with the Ministry of Cultural Heritage to resolve issues of provenance and ownership of works in their collection in a way that responds to new information as it emerges, and respects the good faith and cultural missions of both parties.

New Ordinance Aims to Keep Tourists Out of Roman Fountains Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi signed an ordinance aimed at stopping tourists eating, drinking, bathing, climbing and sitting on the historic marble by the city’s fountains. The ban will be in place immediately and runs through October 31.

The ban follows several incidents of tourists bathing in fountains or sitting on fountains while eating snacks. The regulation applies to around 15 fountains, including those in some of the city’s main squares. Anyone caught breaking the rules will face fines between 40 and 240 euros. Other prohibited activities include washing clothes or animals in the fountains, allowing animals to drink water from the fountains, and throwing any liquids or objects into the fountains. The only exception is small change; however, throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain is still permitted.

Eating and drinking is also forbidden at other historic and cultural sites, including the recent restored Spanish Steps, where tourists have been hit with heavy fines. Roman fountains have been subject to a host of tourist behaviors that are targeted under the new ban. The Rome city government said the ban was necessary “to impede Neapolitan Couple Transforms Wedding episodes that run contrary to the rules of urban into Multicultural Event decorum, and to ensure adequate protection of In Naples, a Neapolitan couple recently invited the historical, artistic and archaeological heritage migrants to transform their wedding into a multi- of Rome.”

HISTORY: FLAG DAY

By Gary Nichols NSA Public Affairs

On June 14, 1777 – nearly a year after the signing of the Declaration of Independence – the Continental Congress officially adopted a national flag.

The new flag was a radical design departure from previous flags: The 13 white stars in a circle on a field of blue replaced the British symbols of the Grand Union flag, and the 13 red and white stripes represented the original colonies (states).

According to legend, in 1776, George Washington commissioned Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross to create a flag for the new nation. Ross was not unknown to Washington: Not only was she his tailor, both of their families also worshiped at Christ Church in Philadelphia and their families were on friendly terms.

Scholars have debated this legend, but most agree that Ross, who was an official flag maker for the Pennsylvania Navy, likely had a hand in making the first flags for the new nation.

Just over a century later, a 19-year-old grade school teacher, Bernard J. Cigrand – who became known as the “Father of Flag Day” – at Stony Hill School in Waubeka,Wisconsin, started a national patriotic movement, which had its humble beginnings at this one-room school house. On June 14, 1885, Cigrand and his students held the first observance of “Flag Birth Day” to commemorate the 108th anniversary of the flag’s adoption.

Located about an hour north of Milwaukee and two hours from Chicago, Waubeka was an ideal launching point for Cigrand to spread his message of popular patriotism. For the re-

mainder of his life, Cigrand gave thousands of speeches, held meetings and wrote hundreds of articles, to pitch his dream of a holiday dedicated to honoring the stars and stripes. By the turn of the century his message had gained momentum nationwide.

On May 30, 1916 – as the United States was on the cusp of becoming involved in World War I and inspired by Cigrand’s example – President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 to be Flag Day. “My Fellow Countrymen: Many circumstances have recently conspired to turn our thoughts to a critical examination of the conditions of our national life, of the influences which have seemed to threaten to divide us in interest and sympathy, of forces within and forces without that seemed likely to draw us away from the happy traditions of united purpose and action of which we have been so proud, It has therefore seemed to me fitting that I should call your attention to the approach of the anniversary of the day upon which the flag of the United States was adopted by the Congress as the emblem of the Union, and to suggest to you that it should this year and in the years to come be given special significance as a day of renewal and reminder, a day upon which we should direct our minds with a special desire of renewal to thoughts of the ideals and principles of which we have sought to make our great Government the embodiment.”

In 1949, 33 years after President Wilson’s proclamation, President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress officially designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.

Diversity is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride month, we celebrate our rich diversity and renew our enduring commitment to equality with stories featuring the personal experiences of LGBT members. The dedication and contributions of our Lesbian Gay and Bisexual (LGB) service members and Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) civilians have had immeasurable impact on our National Security and Department of Defense (DoD). This is the third of a series of four stories in which sailors share their stories about being LGBT. I was born in a small town in North Carolina. We moved to Florida, and my parents divorced when I was eight, leaving my little brother and I with my father. My mother lived in the same city, so we were able to maintain a relationship with frequent visits.

In school, I was always one of the “good kids.” I played sports (football, soccer and swimming) had a top GPA, and was involved in both my church and the local community service projects. Additionally, I loved theatre, and spent many hours working on shows. I was expected to do great things, and was disciplined enough to ensure I achieved them. As a child, I had a very high pitched voice for a male. This served as a cause for much teasing and ridicule by other school kids (I was told I was gay before I even knew the meaning of the word). However, that high pitch meant I also had a three octave singing range. At one point, a well-meaning doctor suggested he could “repair” my voice to be more like my peers. Thankfully, I was strong enough to refuse.

I met my future wife in college. We married, had five children, and remainder together for 20 years. For most of that time, I was happy. I had many friends, both straight and gay, and considered myself to be fairly non-judgmental when it came to issues of sexual preference. As my military career ascended, my wife became less enamored with the constant moving and stress of repeated life upheavals. She and I quietly divorced, and I left for another assignment, leaving two of the children to stay with her. The divorce was hard on the children, but I was determined to maintain my relationship with them.

I met the man I eventually married while finishing Tennessee’s draconian two year pre-divorce separation requirement. I had never really considered myself as gay, but found an instant attraction to him. He was confident, secure in his identity and handsome. The attraction was mutual: so much so, that after the first date we were never really apart. We dated for two years, and were married in a lovely ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard.

Being raised in a traditional Southern family, there was little doubt about the repercussions of my decision. My father and one aunt have not spoken to me since our wedding. Others quietly talk to me on the phone, but will not have my husband and I at their homes. My brother and mother have been wonderfully supportive (my brother was best man at our wedding).

When people discover I am gay, and have a husband, the usual response is one of surprise. “You don’t seem like you would be gay” or “I never would have guessed” are typical responses. My answer is usually ‘Does it matter”?

As the only openly gay person in the room, I get all the “gay” questions, usually predicated by an apology. I find that amusing. I have nothing for which to apologize, and asking questions to improve understanding should not be considered derogatory.

I have become fairly senior in the Navy. I work in a field most would not associate with homosexuality, and I am grateful every day for the opportunity to lead remarkable Sailors and civilians. I believe each of us has a path to travel. If I am ever asked about the difficulty of my path, I say that I appreciate the men and women who helped and guided me along my way; as a result, I am deeply committed to helping others on their journey, wherever their paths may lead.

Shakespeare in the Park

By Gary Nichols

The newly-created Naples Community Theatre (NCT), which had a hit with its first show of the 2017 season – and the world premiere – of the comedy “Myra Lynne’s Fifth Grade Essay” at the Naples Middle High School Theater in April, presented Shakespeare in the Park June 10-11 at the Central Park amphitheater on board Support Site.

Each of the four shows was attended by more than appreciative 50 fans of the Renaissance master.

Unlike a classic theatrical stage production where the actors typically perform in a cloistered, carefully-controlled environment of lights, backgrounds, costumes, props and orchestra, this outdoor minimal performance with only the barest of props at the outdoor amphitheater was a refreshing interpretation of selected scenes from some of Shakespeare’s most well-known and beloved plays.

One audience member who was pleased with NCT’s performance of Shakespeare in the Park was Janet Rose Cortez. She said she loves going to the theater and was thrilled to see this modern no-frills version of the Bard at the amphitheater.

“I loved it, it was really fun,” she said. “I really enjoyed seeing the actors up close, and with the bare stage, it made me appreciate their performance even more. I can’t wait for their next show.”

Show director Mary-E Parris explained that this production of Shakespeare in the Park was a collection of five of Shakespeare’s most famous scenes, including, “Romeo and Juliet,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Hamlet,” “Henry V” and “The Taming of the Shrew” intertwined with musical numbers, and featured actors ranging in age from 10-50 across our entire community.

“As director I really tried to honor that the Bard

was writing for the common man of his day by making our renditions accessible and modernizing the style while staying true to the original text,” Parris said. “The show ran about an hour and 15 minutes and was appropriate for the whole family.”

Being at the amphitheater over the weekend, the audience was more relaxed than you would typically find than at a more formal theater like the world-famous San Carlo Teatro at downtown Naples. Over the weekend, a number of audience members brought their dogs, who showed their appreciation by barking at more boisterous scenes, like the street fight (with drawn swords) between the Montagues and Capulets in the first act of Romeo and Juliet.

“We had 120 people and six dogs who attended NCT’s Shakespeare in the Park this weekend,” Parris said. “I’m so pleased with how the show came together. I was incredibly fortunate as a director to have had such a generous cast and a welcoming community. Our cast consisted of 13 actors and musicians ranging in age from 10-50, and from commands across our community.

The youngest member of the cast, Mia Ramirez, 10, and a fourth grader at Naples Elementary School, played several roles, including being a troubadour. She said she really enjoyed being part of the cast for Shakespeare in the Park.

“The best thing about Shakespeare in the Park was being a part of something that I love,” Ramirez said. “The worst thing is that it’s over so fast. I can’t wait for the next show!”

The Naples Community Theatre plans to perform an Agatha Christie murder mystery later this fall, followed by a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ beloved “A Christmas Carol” this winter. If you are interested in becoming part of this new and exciting theatrical company, call DSN 626-5411 or Comm. 081-568-5411.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Carpooling Is Cool From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Public transportation can be tricky to navigate, and depending on location it might include some walking for you to eventually arrive at your destination.

For most of us, using public transportation is an adventure usually reserved for weekend excursions.

During the week, however, driving is how most of get to work. But even with that daily drill, there’s still one easy way of saving energy: carpooling. It’s easy to carpool from Support Site (SS) to Capodichino (Capo), and it saves both gas and money, and if you choose your company well, it can be entertaining, too.

Depending on the vehicle, engine size, and driving habits, an average round trip from SS to Capo uses approximately five liters of fuel. This means that during a five-day work week, one vehicle would use 25 liters of fuel. And, by the end of the month, that’s 100 liters of gas.

According to American Forces Network, as of June 1, 2017, 100 liters of mid-grade unleaded gas costs $93 (equivalent to 93 cents per liter) with NATO gas coupons.

If money wasn’t a good enough incentive to carpool, consider that the average carbon emissions for a solo driver commuting back and forth from SS to Capo each week is 7,749 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) – the gas that’s widely believed to be a major contributor to global warming. That’s nearly 31,000 pounds or 16 tons of CO2 per month.

Now imagine if you shared the out-of-pocket cost of fuel with some friends, your monthly expenses would drop.

Plus, you’d significantly reduce the amount of emissions into the atmosphere, lessen the number of cars on base and in the parking garage, and minimize wear and tear on your vehicle.

So take the energy challenge from NSA Naples Energy Management Team, call some friends and consider riding into work together.

ple of years and parents being deployed,” Bryant said.

Family separation due to frequent deployments are a part of life that all military children learn to deal with.

“It is easier to connect when everyone knows how you feel and can help you cope,” he said.

Bryant said he feels fortunate for his time traveling as a military dependent and doesn’t believe he has missed out on any opportunities.

“The only thing I would say I missed out on would be some sports events,” Bryant said.

“Other than that I have been blessed with the chance to travel the world and experience different cultures that most people only read about in text books.”

Bryant added that close friendships helped him cope with his father’s absence during long deployments. That way of life and the sense of community is something he wants to continue enjoying even after high school.

“That is why I have enlisted in the Air Force,” he said. “I report for basic training on July 25.”

Long work hours, separation, unaccompanied assignments, training and risk of injury or death of the service member are a way of life for military families. However, these high school graduates understand the hardships and trials that their parents face. This leaves a lasting impression on their charac-

ter and a respect for others who serve their country.

“My mom has dedicated more than 20 years serving in the Navy, and with that has come time away from family and ultimately it being in the presence of risking her life,” graduating senior Karrington Evans said.

He said that the support of his friends and family helped him to cope with the unique characteristics of military family life. Evans said he plans on following his mother’s example by attend the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, and becoming a naval officer.

“Being around the military and watching those around me serve, especially my hardworking mother, has given me the desire to do the same and give back to those who have sacrificed their time, lives and dedication before me,” Evans said. “Attending the Naval Academy is a way to provide myself with the best education and to become a successful officer in the United States Navy like my mother.”

Despite frequent deployments and multiple relocations and the challenges of being a military family, these young graduates have demonstrated that they too, have honor, courage and commitment. Congratulations and Bravo Zulu to the 2017 Naples High School graduating class!

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis testified before the House Armed Services Committee during a June 12, 2017, budget hearing on Capitol Hill. Image captured from Department of Defense video

DEFENSE BUDGET HEARING

From page 1

“Each generation of Americans, from the halls of Congress to the battlefields, earn victory through commitment and sacrifice.”

Sequestration was designed to be so injurious to the military that it would force Congress to compromise so its imposition would not be necessary. It remains in effect unless Congress changes the law. Mattis noted that in nine of the past 10 years, Congress has enacted 30 separate continuing resolutions to fund DoD, adding that this inhibits readiness, innovation and modernization.

“We need bipartisan support for this budget request,” the secretary told the committee. “In the past, by failing to pass a budget on time or eliminate the threat of sequestration, Congress sidelined itself from its active constitutional oversight role. Continuing resolutions coupled with sequestration blocked new programs, prevented service growth, stalled industry initiative and placed troops at greater risk. Despite the tremendous efforts of this committee, Congress as a whole has met the present challenge with lassitude, not leadership.”

Previous defense secretaries, he noted, have warned Congress of the erosion of capabilities sequestration would bring. It is only thanks to the troops themselves, he said, that the problems are not greater.

The secretary urged the committee and other members of Congress to “fully fund our request, which requires an increase to the defense budget caps” and to pass a fiscal 2018 defense budget in a timely manner “to avoid yet another harmful continuing resolution” and to “eliminate the threat of future sequestration cuts so we can provide a stable budgetary planning horizon.”

Concurrent Factors Congress must take into account external factors that influence budget deliberations, Mattis said. The first is that the United States military has been at war for 16 years – the longest period in the nation’s history.

“America’s long war has placed a heavy burden on men and women in uniform and their families,” he said.

The second concurrent force acting on the department is a worsening global situation, the secretary told the House panel. “We must look reality in the eye; Russia and China are seeking veto power over the economic, diplomatic and security decisions on

their periphery,” he said. “North Korea’s reckless rhetoric and provocative actions could continue despite United Nations censure and sanctions, while Iran remains the largest long-term challenge to Mideast stability. All the while, terrorist groups murder the innocent and threaten peace in many regions and target us.”

A third force acting on DoD are adversaries contesting U.S. military capabilities.

Since the end of the Cold War, the United States had uncontested superiority in every military domain or realm, the secretary said. “Today, every operating domain … is contested,” he said.

Technological change is another force acting on the department. This mandates new investment, innovative approaches and new program starts – something denied under continuing resolutions, Mattis said.

All these forces require a stable budget and increased funding “to provide for the protection of our citizens and for the survival of our freedoms,” he said.

Five Priorities The secretary said the fiscal 2018 budget reflects five priorities, the first being to continue to improve warfighter readiness.

The second priority is to increase the capacity and lethality of military capabilities. The third priority is to reform the way DoD does business, and he promised the lawmakers the department will accomplish a clean audit. He also called on Congress to support DoD’s request to conduct another round of base closures and realignments, saying this could save up to $2 billion a year.

The fourth priority is to keep faith with service members and their families. “Talented people are the department’s most valuable asset, but we must constantly balance these requirements against other investments critical to readiness, equipment and modernization to ensure the military is the most capable warfighting force in the world,” he said. “Investment in military compensation, blended retirement, the Military Health System and family programs are essential to fielding the talent we need to sustain our competitive advantage on the battlefield.”

Support for the overseas contingency operations is the fifth priority of the budget, the secretary said. These funds focus on operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, as well as bumping up U.S. capabilities in Europe.

In the event of an emergency or to report a crime, please call the Emergency Dispatch Center at 081-568-4911 or 5911.(On-Base Dial 9-1-1) For non-emergency assistance, call 081-568-5638
