Chairman Reflects on Armistice Day, Changing Character of War By Terri Moon Cronk
Military leaders must appreciate the changing character of war, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said November 11 as he returned home from Paris, where he was attending ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day. Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford reflected on the anniversary, which signaled 100 years since the end of World War I, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. “I think one of the things with World War I is the character of war hadn’t changed in some time,” he said. We saw … our own experience in the Civil War – machine guns, concertina wire, railroads, communications and so forth. And I think even 50 years later, it’s pretty clear that leaders didn’t fully appreciate the changed character of war and the introduction of new technologies and how they’re going to

Ribbon Cutting for Dunkin’ Donuts Navy Exchange and Naval Support Activity Naples leadership participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday at 9 a.m. to celebrate the grand opening of Dunkin’ Donuts at Bella Napoli food court onboard Capodichino, while hundreds of Naval Support Activity Naples community members looked on and eagerly awaited their opportunity to enjoy fresh donuts at the new bakery. Founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts, the popular franchise has grown to include more than 12,000 bakeries in 36 countries. However this is the first Dunkin’ Donuts to open in Italy. Not only will the new franchise offer donuts, bagels, and other American favorite baked goods, along with a variety of hot, frozen and iced beverages, it will continue to offer the same great Italian coffees, drinks and baked goods beloved by the NSA Naples community members. In addition to offering American and Italian favorite baked goods and beverages, the new Dunkin’ Donuts will continue to maintain the same operating hours.

Today, the Department of Defense announced annual cost of living adjustments that will benefit military retirees and survivors during calendar year 2019. Most military retirees will receive a 2.8 percent increase to their retired pay beginning with the pay they receive on Jan. 1, 2019. Likewise, survivors of members who died on active or inactive duty, or survivors of military retirees who participate in the Survivor Benefit Plan, will, in most cases, see a 2.8 percent increase to their annuities beginning in January. Beginning in 2019, survivors who are eligible for the Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance (SSIA) will also receive an increase to their SSIA payments that reflects this 2.8 percent adjustment. The maximum amount of SSIA payable will be $318 beginning in January. These cost of living adjustments are calculated based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the four quarters ending with the third calendar quarter of 2018 (July, August, and September 2018), and generally go into effect for all pay received beginning in January 2019. Those military retirees who retired during calendar year 2018, and all military retirees who retired under the REDUX retirement system, receive a slightly different annual cost of living adjustment. The complete list of updates to military retired and retainer pay, and survivor annuities, allowances and premiums can be found at https://militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Retirement/Cola.aspx.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer
ore Thanksgiving Events are coming up as we continue November. This Wednesday our chapel teamed up with USO, MWR, and the Naval Hospital to offer a Single Sailor Turkey Dinner. Admiral Foggo, commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe (NAVEUR), was the guest of honor along with a live performance by the NAVEUR band. Next week Vice Admiral Franchetti commander, U.S. Sixth Fleet, is scheduled to speak at the USO’s free Thanksgiving luncheon in the Capo air terminal. And on Thanksgiving Day, Rear Admiral Williamson, commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, will be present at MWR’s annual Thanksgiving lunch buffet at O’Rhys Pub on Support Site. The event will also feature a bowling tournament next door at the bowling alley. Single Sailors eat for free and other patrons pay a nominal fee. Again, we hold these events to include all members of our Naples military community in celebration of the holidays. The fact that such senior level leadership takes the time to be there is indicative of how important taking care of our people is to the mission. The holidays also bring a boom of incoming and outgoing mail. Our postal team will be taking on some additional personnel to help with the rush and for Capo patrons, we’ve made improvements to parking and pedestrian access outside the mail center to alleviate any issues caused by heavy traffic. Additionally, we need everyone to be aware of the deadlines for shipping to and from an FPO address during the holidays. The general cutoff date for our area is December 11th. Please let your families back home know this as well. Shipping earlier will better ensure packages get to their destinations on time and that our postal team here is better able to manage the local influx. For more information on holiday shipping to and from FPO addresses, we’ve posted a link to instructions on the USPS website on our Facebook page. The season of course also brings us colder weather, even here in sunny Southern Italy. With that onset of lower temperatures, we’ve begun turning on heat in the buildings around base. As with the activation of air condition, we have to conduct this in accordance with CNIC and OPNAV instructions governing energy conservation by U.S. Navy installations. Specifically, it is required that heating systems be energized when, during normal working hours, the outside temperature falls below 60 degrees Fahrenheit for a four hour period, five consecutive days in a row. Typically this happens during mid-November, hence why we began energizing our heating systems on November 5th. As of today we should be all done with our housing facilities, but if you ever experience an issue, please don’t hesitate to contact the housing trouble desk at 629-4285 or 4286. As always, thanks for reading the Panorama!

HISTORY: FIRST FLIGHT OFF A NAVY SHIP From the National Air and Space Museum
On November 14, 1910, Eugene Ely, a 24-year-old civilian pilot, flew the first aircraft to take off from a warship, the light cruiser USS Birmingham (CL 2) at Hampton Roads, Virginia. Ely grew up in Davenport, Iowa, and later graduated from Iowa State University in 1904 with an engineering degree. He was mechanically inclined, and was attracted to automobiles, and soon became an expert driver. Road races and work as a chauffeur took him to San Francisco where he worked for several months as an auto salesman. After marrying a local girl named Mabel Hall, he moved to Oregon. Early in 1910, a Portland, Oregon, auto dealer, E. Harry Wemme, purchased a Curtiss biplane and became an agent for Curtiss products in the Northwest. Despite his enthusiasm for airplanes, Wemme was afraid to fly, so Ely – who had no experience in a cockpit – offered to fly the Curtiss, and promptly crashed the new biplane. Embarrassed by this unexpected turn of events, Ely bought the wreck from Wemme, and within several months had repaired the plane, and taught himself to fly. Following numerous flights in the Portland area, Ely set out for Canada to do exhibition work on his own in the summer of 1910. After successful appearances in Winnipeg, Canada, he moved back south to Minneapolis for a flying meet. While there, he met Glenn Curtiss, the designer and builder of his biplane. Curtiss was impressed with the eager young pilot and invited him to join his flying exhibition team that toured around the county. In the fall of 1910, Navy Capt. Washington I. Chambers was tasked to “to observe everything that will be of use in the study of

aviation and its influence upon the problems of naval warfare.” Realizing that if an airplane could be of any use to the Navy, it would have to have the ability to take off and land on a ship at sea. In October 1910 Chambers met Curtiss and Ely at a flying exhibition at Belmont Park, New York. Sensing these two men could prove if flying and landing an airplane off a ship was possible, he then made them an irresistible offer: If he supplied the ship, would they try a ship-based takeoff? Ely quickly agreed to take on the new venture. On November 14, 1910, the Birmingham had been prepared with an 80-foot wooden platform on the bow. Ely’s 50 horsepower Curtiss Pusher plane, which had
been modified with floats under the wings, was hoisted onto the deck, and by noon, the ship moved a short distance offshore into the Chesapeake Bay. Rain and fog threatened to delay the flight, but Ely pressed on. At 3 p.m. the young pilot took off from the deck of the Birmingham. Witnesses saw the daring aviator coast down the “flight deck,” drop to the bay, hit the water with a splash, rise again, and regain altitude, where he flew to a safe landing two-and-ahalf miles away at Willoughby Spit, just a few miles east of Norfolk Naval Station. A year later, Ely’s brilliant career was cut short by a tragic crash during an air demonstration at the Georgia State Fair in

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving: Tips for Deep Frying Your Turkey From NSA Naples Fire and Emergency Services
A growing trend in preparing turkeys for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner table is to deep fry vs. baking the turkey. Although deep fried turkey is delicious, deep fryers can be potentially dangerous, and you might end up with an unexpected fire or injury if you don’t take proper safety precautions. NSA Naples Fire and Emergency Services Fire Inspector Donald W Warnick noted that although deep frying turkeys are becoming more common, so are home fires as a result of people not paying proper attention to fire safety while cooking those turkeys. “If you choose to deep fry a turkey, we highly recommend you follow the safety procedures, which are outlined below,” Warnick said. If the cooking pot is overfilled with oil, the oil may spill out of the unit when the turkey is placed into the cooking pot. Overflowing oil could hit the burner/flames causing a fire to engulf the entire unit. To determine how much oil you’ll need, place the turkey into the basket and put it into the pot. Add water until it reaches one to two inches above the turkey. Then, lift the turkey out, and use a ruler to measure the distance from the water to the top of the fryer. Pour out the water and dry the fryer and turkey completely. Now you know how much oil you will need to safely cook your turkey. Warnick recommends thoroughly thawing out your turkey ahead of time. Placing a partially frozen turkey into the fryer can cause an unexpected spillover effect, which can result in the fire flaring up. The National Turkey Federation recommends thawing your turkey in a refrigerator for 24 hours per every five pounds. For example, a 10 pound turkey should be thawed for two days before frying. Frying units have the potential to overheat to the point of igniting the oil. Also, don’t forget that the cooking pot, lid and pot handles can become dangerously hot, posing severe burn hazards, and remember that cooking pots can tip over easily. Deep Fry Turkey Cooking Tips Warnick advises home cooks to read and carefully follow the deep fryer’s instructions. Select only smaller turkeys, with a maximum weight of 12 pounds for deep frying and remem-
ber to use oils with high smoke points such as peanut, canola and safflower. Remember that although peanut oil adds flavor, it can be problematic if any of your guests have peanut allergies. Remember that it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to heat the oil, depending on the outside temperature, wind and weather. Before frying, pat your turkey completely dry with paper towels. And be careful with marinades. Any water left on the turkey will make the hot oil pop and splatter, which can be very dangerous. Then slowly lower the turkey into the oil. Make sure your oil does not exceed 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and you fry your turkey for three to four minutes per pound. For example, a 10 to 12 pound turkey should be cooked no longer than 35 to 42 minutes. Safety Tips: ● Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby, and, never use water to extinguish an oil/grease fire. Remember to use your best judgment when attempting to fight a fire. If the fire increases, immediately call 9-1-1 for help. ● Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors a safe distance from buildings and any other material that can burn, and never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or in garages. ● Make sure the fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping. ● Never leave the fryer unattended and never let children or pets near the fryer before or after cooking. Even when done cooking, the oil inside the fryer can remain dangerously hot for hours. Many fryers do not have thermostat controls, and if you don’t watch the fryer carefully, the oil can heat until it spontaneously catches fire. ● Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching the pot or lid handles. And, if possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter. ● Do not overfill the fryer with oil. Remember, that is why you premeasured your frying pot beforehand to ensure you use the proper amount of oil to get the job done safely. “I hope everyone enjoys the Thanksgiving holiday, but more importantly we hope you have a safe holiday,” Warnick added. For additional questions about fire safety please call DSN 626-2668 or 629-4488.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Holiday Cooking Tips to Conserve Energy From NSA Naples Energy Management Team
The holidays are upon us and many of us are planning on cooking. The average household uses three times the energy on Thanksgiving Day then it does the Thursday the week before. No matter if you are a quaint family of four or fourteen, there are some green rules you can follow while cooking throughout the holidays. Thawing your turkey or ham in the fridge increases the refrigerator’s cooling demand for every four to five pounds. Buy fresh or thaw it in cool water for 30 minutes per pound. Try not to open the oven door to take a peek inside. Use the installed light to keep track of your bird though the viewing window. Constant opening and closing of the door can affect cooking temperature by as much as 25 percent, which translates to additional time needed to cook thoroughly. The heating element now has to produce more heat in order to re-adjust the temperature. Leave your home thermostat on a cooler setting while cooking for dinner or having lots of people over. The lack of heating will be made up for through the efforts in the kitchen and extra bodies. Once you are nearing the end of cooking your main dish, use the extra space to cook smaller dishes. This will not only make your cooking efforts more efficient, you’ll also get to eat faster. Be sure to match pot sizes with burners accordingly. Properly match pot diameter to burners makes better use of the flame. Not doing so can waste up to 40 percent in lost energy on the burner size alone. These are just a few tips to get you in the right direction and keep cost and energy use down. For more tips on Energy Conservation call Gennaro Gargiulo or Steelworker 2nd Class Axel Gomez at DSN 626-1895 or Comm. 081-568-1865.

During a concluding event at Værnes airport this morning, both Admiral James G. Foggo, commander of Allied Joint Force Command Naples, and Admiral Haakon BruunHanssen, Chief of Defence of Norway, praised the exceptional performance of the troops and the personnel that made the exercise a success. "You’ve heard the statistics but I can’t help repeating them because they’re so impressive. Fifty thousand of you: soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Almost 70 ships, 250 aircraft, 2,100 containers offloaded from about 250 cargo ships that came in here, unbelievable," said Admiral Foggo. "I just wanted to come here and thank each and
every one of you for your efforts, for your stellar performance, for your dedication to the Alliance and the security of all our great nations that made up the NATO alliance for the last 70-years," he continued.\ Admiral Bruun-Hanssen highlighted the professionalism of all participants and the positive impact the exercise had on Norway. "Today, [...] the Norwegian population is more positive towards allied training in Norway, than prior to the exercise. I believe that this has very much to do with your professionalism as soldiers, proven to the public during Trident Juncture," he said. With around 50,000 participants, 250 aircraft, 65 ships and up to 10,000 vehicles from 31 nations, NATO's exercise Trident Juncture 18 is NATO’s largest high visibility exercise in decades, with Norway and Iceland serving as host nations. Over 20,000 land forces, 24,000 navy personnel, including US Marines, 3,500 air personnel, around 1,000

logistics specialists and 1,300 personnel from a range of NATO commands have participated in the live portion of the exercise. Trident Juncture 18 is designed to ensure that NATO forces are trained and ready. It has been an
important test, and a tremendous display of NATO's collective capabilities. A command post portion of the exercise began November 14 and will run until November 23; primarily in Naples.

Don’t Stand in Line: TSA Precheck Open to Military, DOD Civilians By Jim Garamone Defense Media Activity
Service members are trusted to defend the nation, surely they can be trusted when boarding a plane. This is the thinking of the Transportation Security Administration, which is pushing to ensure that service members and DOD civilians know they can use the TSA Precheck program. “Service members are already enrolled in TSA Precheck, but many do not know they are,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a recent interview. Pekoske, a retired Coast Guard vice admiral, wants all those eligible to use this free program. Smart Security All service members of all components of the armed forces and students at the armed forces’ service academies are automatically enrolled in TSA Precheck. Their DOD ID numbers – a 10-digit number that should be on the back of your Common Access Card – serve as their Known Traveler Numbers. Civilian employees must opt into the program using milConnect website at https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect/. Their DOD ID number is also their KTN. Again, there is no cost for military members or civilians. For the general public that enrolls in the program, the cost is $85. “This is a real benefit for being a member of
the armed forces, and it is good for us from a security perspective,” Petoske said. To obtain their positions, service members and DOD civilians undergo background checks, and most have security clearances. They are trusted to carry weapons in defense of the United States or to safeguard America’s secrets. So the TSA decided that there was no need for them to take off their shoes and belts at a checkpoint to get on an aircraft. Using TSA Precheck All travelers must add their DOD ID number to their Defense Travel System profiles to access TSA Precheck while on official travel, but eligible service members and civilians can also use it on personal travel, Pekoske said. “If you go on any airline website, when you are making flight reservations, there is a box for the KTN and that is where they put their DOD number in,” he said. “Once you put the number in – especially if you are a regular flier on that airline – every time you make a reservation, or a reservation is made by the DOD travel service for you, they will automatically pick up that number.” “The effort makes sense from an agency perspective and it is also a way to say thanks to members of the military and the civilian members of DOD and the Department of Homeland Security who sacrifice so much,” the administrator said. “It’s a really good program and it provides a direct benefit to those who keep us free.”

participated with allies and partners on our side: World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the main skirmishes that we had in between,” he emphasized. “And … the NDS recognizes that we certainly don’t anticipate being on any future battlefield without allies and partners.” During his two-and-a-half days in Paris, the chairman participated in the 100th Armistice Day commemoration at the Arc de Triomphe. He also attended ceremonies at World War I gravesites of U.S. servicemen at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near the site of the Battle of Belleau Wood in Belleau, France; and Suresnes American Cemetery outside Paris.

ARMISTICE DAY

Alliances and Partnerships Dunford said the fact that the United States fought alongside allied countries for the first time during World War I resonates even today, as one of three
lines of effort within the 2018 National Defense Strategy involves the nation furthering its alliances and partnerships with other nations. “If you look back at the 20th century, [in] every conflict we were involved in, we participated as part of a coalition,
Doughboys Dunford noted some key leaders of World War I, but emphasized, “For me, World War I is less about an individual leader and more about the individual doughboy. Many of them, [at] 17, 18, 19, 20 years old left home for the first time [and] in many cases came from rural America and never had seen anything outside of their hometown before they found themselves on the battlefields of France. And so what I’ve been mindful of all weekend … [is] just the young faces for every young doughboy lost in France.” Dunford found his tour of Belleau Wood on November 10 – also the Marine Corps

243rd birthday – to be a solemn experience. Before touring the gravesites, he and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly laid a wreath in front of the chapel at AisneMarne cemetery, where the names of 1,060 U.S. service members, whose remains never were found, are etched in stone, high on the chapel’s interior walls. At the hallowed grounds of the American cemetery and the adjoining World War I battlefield – where the Marine Corps played a key role in securing Allied victory and earned distinction for their tenacity during the battle – the chairman said he was moved by the profound loss that takes place in combat: The human toll. ‘Powerful’ Commemoration At the 100th Armistice Day commemoration at Paris’ Arc de Triomphe, November 11, Dunford said he was struck by the number of leaders who all came together to replicate what took place when the deadly war came to an end. “It was very powerful to see them all there … and to have them representing their countries; and frankly, I think in many ways making a commitment never to repeat the mistakes that led us into World War I,” the chairman reflected. “I think it was a reminder probably for all of us, and certainly those senior leaders in uniform, of the responsibility that we have to avoid the mistakes of the past.”
