The Naples Tiger Sharks took to pool this past weekend in Vicenza for their second meet of the regular season and their first, first

place finish. The Tiger Sharks, with just over half of the team making the trip up for the one day meet, pulled ahead of the Vicenza Mako Sharks, as well as the Aviano Sea Dragons to take first place

at Vicenza. Matthew Monceaux, 15, who qualified in the 100 meter butterfly in his second meet of the season explained why he thought the Tiger Sharks performed so well. “Tough times don’t last,

tough teams do,” Monceaux said. “Even if we were tired from travelling, we swam hard all together and came back to Naples as winners. Go Tiger Sharks!” TIGER SHARKS Page 7

The Navy announced last month in NAVADMIN 214/17 the wear rules and Fleet distribution plan for the Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type III along with a list of approved boots Sailors can wear with the uniform. The new Type III uniforms are now available at the uniform shop at the Navy Exchange onboard Capodichino, and they are now authorized for Naval Support Activity Naples personnel to wear beginning October 1. Additionally, the Navy also announced that 350 Sailors assigned to afloat units and shore installations are taking part in a three-month boot wear test to identify a replacement for the current NWU boot that is issued to Sailors. The completion of the boot study is expected by the end of this year. The 24-month Fleet fielding plan for the NWU Type III begins October 1, 2017, and ends September 30, 2019. However, the uniform is now available for purchase in Navy Exchange Uniform Centers at Newport, Rhode Island; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; and at Navy installations in Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia.
