The North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile that was launched July 28 from Mupyong-ni traveled about 620 miles before splashing down in the Sea of Japan about 103 miles from the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, the Pentagon director of press operations reported. The U.S. Eighth Army and South Korean army personnel conducted a combined live fire exercise at first light Korea time shortly after the North Korean missile splashed down inside Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters on July 30, 2017. “This exercise utilized the Army tactical missile system, also called ATACMS, and the [South Korean] Hyunmoo Missile-2, which fired two missiles each into territorial waters of South Korea along the east coast,” he said.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

I’d like to start my first Captain’s Corner by thanking the NSA Naples community for the warm welcome my family has received. Chris and I, along with our son Luke, are extremely excited to be here and it is clear that I’ve assumed command of an installation, to include the Support Site, Capodichino, Carney Park and components at JFC Naples, Gaeta, SHAPE and Latina – with truly outstanding people onboard! I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Capt. Carpenter and his family, Jen and Kaiden for both the outstanding work done in making NSA Naples the outstanding installation it is and as well for having a profound positive impact on the NSA Naples community. I’m intimately familiar to the unique joys and challenges alike of serving abroad. Having done tours in Atsugi, Japan, and Casteau, Belgium, I understand what it takes to support our personnel and their families here. Capt. Carpenter was tremendously committed to sustaining positive relationships with our Italian hosts and supporting the needs of our service members, civilian employees, and dependent populations. I will continue to make building and maintaining those relationships, and supporting our personnel my main priorities. I also understand how important our work is here, not only to the Naples area military community, but to the region in general. Through serving with NATO, deploying to the Sixth Fleet area of responsibility, and working for the Secretary of Defense’s Advisor to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, I’ve seen how crucial our daily support to the fleet is. Whether you’re working at NSA Naples, Sixth Fleet, Region, or any of our other departments and tenant commands, you are actively supporting critical naval operations throughout the region. To our families, your support makes accomplishing that mission possible. Lastly and most importantly, something I can’t emphasize enough is enjoying what you do –simply put – Have Fun. Our jobs and many aspects of our service may be challenging, but with that challenge comes reward. Having fun can mean approaching the mission with an enthusiastic attitude, taking advantage of the many opportunities we have to travel here, or enjoying the great facilities and events we offer at NSA Naples. No matter how you do it, I urge you to have fun! I sincerely look forward to working with you all over the coming three years! E per tutti, buon fine settimana and remain Vigilant.

Dangerous Heat Wave Continues Throughout Italy The Ministry of Heath issued a heat alert, red level three, through next week with possible adverse health effects not only for older people, but also for healthy people. Record temperatures were registered all over Italy reaching 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) in Sardinia, 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit)

in Naples, and 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit) in Ferrara. The apparent temperature could be higher than the actual temperature due to humidity.

HISTORY: VJ DAY

Gen. Douglas MacArthur signs as Supreme Allied Commander during formal surrender ceremonies onboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Photo courtesy of National Archives By Gary Nichols NSA Public Affairs

On August 14, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that Japan – after atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a week earlier – had surrendered to the Allies. When news of the Japanese surrender was announced, spontaneous, jubilant parties erupted around the world, just like when news of Germany’s surrender (VE Day) was announced three months earlier. Japanese Emperor Hirohito reluctantly made the difficult decision to submit to the stern terms dictated by the Allies, with the exception that his sovereignty would be maintained. Hirohito really had no choice but to capitulate: by mid-1945, Japan’s resources had become extremely

limited and its ability to wage war had been virtually annihilated. Cut off from raw materials by the destruction of its merchant fleet, Japan’s factories could manufacture little in the way of weaponry. And the few ships that remained of the oncemighty Japanese Imperial Navy were limited in what they could do by lack of fuel, and its once-fearsome fleet of planes and experienced pilots were all but destroyed. On the day Nagasaki was bombed, the Soviet Union, whom the Japanese had hoped would mediate a peace, declared war and launched an invasion of Manchuria. The Japanese knew that if they didn’t quickly surrender, both the American fleet, which was quickly advancing from the east and the Soviet Army, which was marching from

the west, would soon be landing troops on their shores. Japan’s Supreme War Council, had no idea how many more atomic bombs the American military possessed and they could no longer resist against the allies. If they did, they risked further destruction of their people, cities, ports and industry. Hirohito, who had never spoken on radio, recorded an announcement, which was broadcast to the nation at noon Japan Standard Time on August 15, 1945. Although he never used the word “surrender,” his message was clear: The war had ended for Japan. “To Our Good And Loyal Subjects: After

pondering deeply the general trends of the world and the actual conditions obtaining in Our Empire today, We have decided to effect a settlement of the present situation by resorting to an extraordinary measure. We have ordered Our Government to communicate to the Governments of the United States, Great Britain, China and the Soviet Union that Our Empire accepts the provisions of their Joint Declaration … The hardships and sufferings to which Our nation is to be subjected hereafter will be certainly great. We are keenly aware of the inmost feelings of all of you, Our subjects. However, it is according to the dictates of time and fate that We have resolved to pave the way for a grand peace for all the generations to come by enduring the unendurable and suffering what is unsufferable. With that radio message, World War II had finally come to an end. Two weeks later, on September 2, 1945, a formal surrender ceremony was held in Tokyo Bay aboard the battleship USS Missouri (BB 63).

“As President of the United States, I proclaim Sunday, September the second, 1945, to be V-J Day – the day of formal surrender by Japan. It is not yet the day for the formal proclamation of the end of the war nor of the cessation of hostilities. But it is a day which we Americans shall always remember as a day of retribution – as we remember that other day, the day of infamy. From this day we move forward. We move toward a new era of security at home. With the other United Nations we move toward a new and better world of cooperation, of peace and international good will and cooperation.” President S. Harry Truman Announcing the Surrender of Japan on September 1, 1945

5 FLEET AND FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER EVENTS THIS WEEK August 4, 2017

SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTIE CONNELL Christie Connell was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina. Upon graduating high school she joined the United States Coast Guard Academy, and was commissioned in 2007. She is truly dedicated to each and every scenario that arises, and her positive selfless dedication is extraordinary. When Connell and her husband, Kevin arrived in Naples she found herself needing fulfillment and a sense of purpose. Christie stumbled upon the Naples American Red Cross and knew that is where she belonged. Since Christie has joined the Red Cross she has made an unimaginable difference for the team. As the new Station Partner, the Naples Red Cross learned right away that Connell was serious about business. The endless hours that Christie committed to the office on a weekly bases as the liaison to connect the Red Cross and military community has made a

significant impact. Not only did she complete her own job functions she also took on many other roles to help out all volunteers in any way she could. The team is absolutely grateful for the determination displayed by Connell as a remarkable leader. Her accomplishments with the Red Cross are quite extensive. Connell played a major role in the software update for Red Cross’s volunteer system clean-up, and the streamlining of the Red Cross volunteer intake process. This process alone took a substantial amount of time to complete. She over-sees all of the Red Cross special teams and clinics, and the growth these special teams and clinics has endeavored have made a huge impact in the community. Connell helped build the Disaster Action Team; they have been able to provide important safety training to the community, and coordinate the new Shelter

Fundamentals course, while building partnerships with local emergency services. When Connell takes some much needed time off, she and her husband love to travel. So far, her favorite travel destinations have been the Canary Islands and road tripping around Iceland. She is sure going to be missed as she and her husband depart Naples. Christie will be returning to active duty and the Naples Red Cross has been very lucky to have had her part of the team and truly appreciate all of her dedication and hard work.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Efficient Energy Usage for Your Appliances From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

It has been publicized over and over again. When you leave a room, turn off the lights. If you are not using it, power it down. But, what about appliances and systems that are designed to operate consistently? What can you do to prevent excess power consumption with these appliances and systems? Refrigerators and Freezers: ● Minimize opening and closing your refrigerator and freezer. Every time you open it, cool air will rush out and be replaced with warm air, causing the refrigerator to run more to stay cool. ● Keep it full. Refrigerators and freezers actually operate most efficiently when full, so keep your refrigerator and freezer as full as possible (with bottles of water if nothing else) ● Keep condenser coils on the back of your refrigerator and freezer clean. Water Heater: ● Set temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit if your dishwasher has its own water heater; otherwise set it at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. ● Repair leaking faucets. Warm-water leaks should be given immediate attention because they can raise your electric consumption rapidly. ● Drain your hot water tank regularly to remove sediment. Dishwashers and Clothes Washer/Dryer: ● Only run dishwashers and clothes washers when fully loaded. ● Use the air-dry setting on your dishwasher. ● When drying clothes, do not overfill the dryer. ● Ensure that the outside clothes dryer air vent is well-sealed. ● Using dishwashers and clothes washers/dryers at night will keep the house cooler.

Six Things to Know about Navy COOL From Center for Information Warfare Training Public Affairs

initial training within their first term of service.

Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) provides active duty and reserve Sailors, whether forward deployed, underway or ashore, a way to map their Navy education, training, experience and competencies to civilian credentials and occupations.

2. Navy COOL administers a voucher program that will pay for eligible credentialing exams, re-certification fees and maintenance fees for enlisted personnel. Now, Navy COOL can also provide credential funding for E-6 and above retiring with 20 years of service. Always contact the Navy’s Credentials Program Office before you start, take, participate in, or otherwise obligate yourself or the government in any Navy-funded credentialing program or exam.

Here are six things every Sailor should know about Navy COOL: 1. 1,875 funded credentialing opportunities are available for enlisted personnel, with at least one credential opportunity for every Sailor to earn. Why this matters to you: You will not be in the Navy forever. Credentialed service members demonstrate to prospective civilian employers that their skills are on par with their civilian peers. 761 of these credentials may be attainable as soon as Class “A” technical school has been completed. Sailors can take advantage of these credentialing opportunities shortly after their

3. More than 1,500 credentialing opportunities are mapped to officer designators.

Are you in a position that requires mandatory Cyberspace Information Technology/Cybersecurity Workforce (Cyber IT/CSWF) credentials? You may be eligible for funding. 4. Credentialing is part of a Sailor’s Learning and Development Roadmap (LaDR). You can find your LaDR on Navy COOL’s website. It is a competency model tool you can use to optimize your Navy career path, with training and education milestones for your rating at each paygrade. 5. Navy COOL also offers Navy Advancement Exam Bibliographies (BIBs) for every rating.

These lists of occupational and professional military knowledge references help guide Sailors in their studies. If you are an advancement candidate, it is critical that you check the bibliography a few times before the exam administration date to see if you are studying the most current information. Navy COOL maintains the most current BIBs versions. 6. Navy COOL has a smart phone app for both Android and iOS. Besides credentialing information, the app also offers BIBs, LaDRs, United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) trades and rating information cards. The app is particularly useful for Navy recruiters and career counselors, especially when on the go or advising potential recruits and Sailors of professional options available.

NATO ‘Hub’ to Address Challenges From the South RIGHT: Mel McNulty, the JFC Naples political advisor, responds to a question during an Academic Study Day at JFC Naples on May 16. The NATO Strategic Direction South Hub will collect, collate, analyze and disseminate information to contribute to NATO’s comprehensive understanding, situational awareness, decision making and information sharing for the south during peacetime, crisis and conflict.

A new center aimed at understanding and coordinating responses to the south will soon become a reality as the NATO Strategic Direction South Hub prepares to begin work. The NSD-S Hub, under the roof and lead of the southern Italybased Allied Joint Force Command Naples, is designed to focus on concerns such as destabilization, potential terrorism, radicalization, migration, environmental pollution and natural disasters. Officials say the new center aims to focus on southern regions to include the Middle East, North Africa and Sahel, sub-Saharan Africa and adjacent areas, waters and airspace. “The Hub is not going to command big military operations,”

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said during a February press conference. “The hub is a center for collecting information, for improving situational awareness and for coordinating efforts and activities.” The NSD-S Hub is a natural progression for NATO, as the staff at JFC Naples has been busy conducting Mobile Training Team events with partners and hosting study days of various countries at the Naples headquarters. It’s these partnerships and contacts that personnel are banking on coming through when it comes to the hub. Mel McNulty, JFC Naples political advisor, said deconfliction and coordination are two of the main tools the hub will bring to allies and partners to enhance comprehensive understanding, situational awareness, decision making and information sharing for the south.

“There are a lot of actors engaged in the southern region, but who is doing the coordination?” McNulty asked. “There is a proliferation of multilateral and bilateral engagement in the region, but little evidence of deconfliction.” McNulty stressed that there’s a lot of existing expertise in NATO which it should be the Hub’s first priority to coordinate in order to successfully address the challenges involved with the new center. He said a key to the Hub’s success will be the engagement of allies and partners for who it is hoped will send some of their best experts to help staff the Hub. According to McNulty, a key to the early stages of the Hub will be the sharing of good analysis and sifting out what’s important effectively. This should allow NATO and others to be less surprised by and reactive to events, such as the

case during the 2011 Arab Spring. Initially, about 100 military and civilian personnel, mainly from JFC Naples and supplemented by voluntary national contributions, will man the Hub. Officials working to get the Hub established say it’s not just NATO and national military structures that will benefit from the center. The hub aims to also connect personnel across the civilian spectrum of regional development and crisis handling. McNulty said coordination is already happening between NATO and partner organizations such as the European Union, African Union, United Nations, academics and non-governmental organizations. He said these stakeholders are eager to see the Hub fulfil its role. “There is a lot of interest and a lot of demand,” McNulty said.

USS Forrestal Tragedy Remembered 50 Years Later By MC2 Jason Amadi Naval District Washington Public Affairs

Sailors from various commands around the Washington, D.C, region gathered at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the tragedy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal (CVA 59) with a special ceremony, July 29. More than 250 surviving crew members and their families filled the seats of Conmy Hall to remember the Sailors who died in the fire on USS Forrestal. Sailors stationed at nearby commands including the Center for Service Support Detachment Defense Information School, Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106, Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11, Expeditionary Combat Camera (COMCAM), and Naval District Washington presented American flags during the ceremony to represent each Sailor who passed away. “The first time I heard about the Forrestal fire was in boot camp,” Senior Chief Logistics Specialist Allison Strong, event volunteer coordinator, assigned to Naval District Washington, said. “We watched a video about what happened on the Forrestal and we were told that was the impetus for everyone learning about damage control. Being part of this event is very

special to me and it was an honor to be able to help put it together.” On July 29, 1967, a rocket was accidentally fired aboard USS Forrestal, causing massive damage to the ship and a fire that killed 134 Sailors and injured many more. It took more than 24 hours for Forrestal Sailors as well as Sailors from nearby ships to completely extinguish the fire. “When that happened, I didn’t expect to be here 50 years later,” Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class (ret.) William Solt, Forrestal fire survivor, said. “I asked my son, his wife and two of my grandsons to come with me to attend this. I want them to see and know what a sacrifice these Sailors made. We had a past president of the Forrestal Association who would say ‘friends are for life and shipmates are forever.’ That’s what’s playing out here today.” The USS Forrestal Association is a non-profit veterans’ organization formed in 1990 that is committed to preserving the memory of those lost in the tragedy. The group puts together events every year to help honor and remember their fallen shipmates. “I’ve got 45 years of service in the military, nine in the Navy and 36 in the Army, and I will never forget what happened July 29, 1967,” retired Army Col. Emmet O’Hare, event

coordinator and Forrestal fire survivor, said. “We have to do things like this. There’s no getting around it, it’s a duty we took on after we lost those Sailors.” O’Hare says three years ago, on July 29, a young woman came up to members of the USS Forrestal Association as they were laying a wreath to honor fallen Sailors. She had never met her father and told them he was killed in the fire on the Forrestal. She asked the group if

any of them recognized her father’s name. “Three of the guys there knew her dad and she spent the next three hours crying, listening to stories about him. That’s what it’s all about. It’s about getting other people to understand what we went through and the comradery that we shared on that ship,” said O’Hare. It took O’Hare more than 100 hours and meetings with dozens of agencies to put together the 50-year

commemorative ceremony, but says his desire to remember his friends keeps him moving forward. “I want the knowledge of those events to be carried on to everyone everywhere. I was in one of those crews that found the bodies and there are some bad memories there. I knew some of those guys personally and they’re no longer here. It literally hurts me if I don’t get to take the time to honor and remember those guys,” O’Hare added.

“This is a system that can be rapidly deployed and engaged, [and] provides deep-strike precision capability that enables the Korea-U.S. alliance to engage a full array of time-critical targets under all weather conditions. This exercise demonstrated our precision-fire capability,” Davis added. B-1B Bombers Activated Also yesterday, two U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers under the command of Pacific Air Forces joined counterparts from the South Korean and Japanese air forces in sequenced bilateral missions, he said. After the bombers took off from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, they flew to Japanese airspace, where two Japan Air Self Defense Force Mitsubishi F-2 fighter jets joined them, the captain said. “The B-1s then flew over the Korean Peninsula where they were joined by four [South Korean] Air Force F-15 [Eagle] fighter jets. The B-1s then performed a low pass over Osan Air Base, South Korea, before leaving South Korean airspace and returning to Guam,” he said. Throughout the mission, which took about 10 hours, the air crews practiced intercept and formation training to improve their combined capabilities and tactical skills while strengthening the longstanding military-to-military relationships in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, Davis said. “The U.S. maintains flexible bomber and fighter capabilities in the Asia-Pacific theater, retaining the ability to quickly respond to any regional threat in order to defend the U.S. homeland and in support of our allies,” he said.

THAAD Test Davis said the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and soldiers from the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade from Fort Bliss, Texas, conducted a successful missile defense test July 30 using the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system. “A medium-range target ballistic missile was air-launched by a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III over the Pacific Ocean,” Davis said. “The THAAD weapon system located at Pacific Spaceport

Complex Alaska in Kodiak, Alaska, detected, tracked and intercepted the target.” The test, designated Flight Experiment THAAD (FET)-01, was conducted to gather threat data from a THAAD interceptor in flight. That was the 15th successful intercept in 15 tests for THAAD, Davis noted. Six activated THAAD batteries exist: three batteries are stationed at Fort Bliss, one battery is forward-deployed to Guam, one is deployed to South Korea, and

one is stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, he said. Davis explained that THAAD, which is strictly a defensive weapon system, provides a globally transportable, rapidly deployable capability to intercept ballistic missiles inside or outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal, phase of flight. “Our commitment to the defense of our allies, [South] Korea and Japan, in the face of these threats, remains ironclad,” he said.

Fleet Master Chief Visits Finnish Navy By MC1 Ryan J. Riley Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs

U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Fleet Master Chief Raymond D. Kemp Sr. visited with members of the Finnish navy in Turku, Finland, July 19-22, 2017, further solidifying the enduring relationship shared between the two partner nations. Kemp was invited to their Navy Command in Turku, an experience he called humbling when he arrived to the American flag flying above their base in honor of his arrival. “It was surreal,” Kemp said. “I am from a pretty humble background and for the national ensign to be flying in honor of my visit, I was truly humbled.” The American flag flying was just a taste of the welcoming Kemp said he received from the Finnish sailors. “I was very warmly received and could feel the sincerity in the hospitality,” Kemp said. “It was as if we were longtime friends and as I thought about it, our partnership is certainly enduring.” Kemp’s visit started with a meeting with Finnish Capt. Pekka Varjonen, chief of personnel division, including a presentation about the Finnish navy’s non-commissioned officers (NCO) education and training program and to share leadership techniques. “I was particularly interested in the NCO studies, their training program, obligation of service, and which skills translated to civilian certification and licensing,” Kemp said. “There are many different styles and techniques to lead-

ership and we discussed opportunities to share course work, instructor/facilitator guides, and a chance to visit the Finnish Naval Academy.” Following the NCO presentation Kemp had an office call with Capt. Timo Hirvonen, the base’s chief of staff, where the two quickly found common ground as participants in exercise Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2017. “The captain and the admiral both participated in BALTOPS and spent time in the U.S.,” Kemp said. “We had plenty in common which led to ease of conversation.” The visit continued as Kemp went to tour one of the country’s Rauma-class missile boats, attached to the Finnish navy’s 6th Surface Warfare Squadron, and a Katanpaa-class mine countermeasure ship, attached to the country’s 4th Mine Countermeasure Squadron. “The Missile boat and the minesweeper are very capable vessels, and crews are well trained,” Kemp said. Kemp also had the opportunity to see one of their Jehu-class landing craft during his visit praising the craft and likening it to a luxury car. “The Jehu-class landing craft was awesome, that boat road like a Cadillac Coup Deville,” Kemp said. “With the latest technology and upgrades I am sure the Finnish marines will enjoy the new delivery craft.” After the first-hand look at some of the Finnish navy’s capabilities, Nyland Brigade, Dragsvik Garrison, hosted Kemp at their officer’s club where he met with Finnish navy Capt. Kjell Torner, the brigade commander.

“Capt. Torner provided an interesting tour of the Garrison facilities,” he said. “His brief on the conscription training and training team was extremely interesting.” Conscription, or drafting, is the obligatory enlistment of people into military service. Conscripts refer to the person “drafted.” Kemp said his time visiting with the sailors of the Finnish navy was an incredible experience and emphasized the professionalism they showed him. He said it was an experience he soon won’t forget.

“The conscripts were extremely professional and respectful, reminded me of our Sailors going to Boot Camp Training; seemed much more like volunteers than compulsory service,” Kemp said. “I met them on the gun line and had good conversation with several of them as they completed training.” U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, headquartered in Naples, Italy, oversees joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, to enable enduring relationships and increase vigilance and resilience in Europe and Africa.

Nearly 5,000 GHWB and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 Sailors will have the opportunity to visit the historic port, and take advantage of tours offered by the ship’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program. “Visiting Portsmouth is definitely one the highlights of this deployment,” GHWB Command Master Chief Huben Phillips said. “I know the Sailors are excited to immerse themselves in English culture, try local food, and enjoy the hard-earned and well-deserved opportunity to explore the rich history of Portsmouth and London.” This port visit precedes the ship’s participation in the multinational exercise Saxon Warrior ‘17 along with elements from the United Kingdom and other North American Treaty Organization (NATO) members. The exercise is designed to develop theater-specific combat skills, as well as enhance cooperation between allies.

“After completing our mission, we are taking time to visit one of our greatest allies,” GHWB’s Commanding Officer Capt. Will Pennington said. “I think it speaks volumes about our Navy and our nation that we are stopping to help our ally get back in the carrier strike group business. The U.K.’s support, and our teamwork together, has been crucial to protecting the freedoms of both nations. This port visit and the upcoming exercise show the strength of our relationship and that it will still carry on into the future.” For many GHWB Sailors, this will be the first time visiting the United Kingdom. “I’m really excited for this port visit,” Operations Specialist 3rd Class Taylor Brickles said. “Ever since I joined the Navy three and a half years ago, it’s been the dream port visit that I’ve been looking forward to.” The George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group is conducting naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests. For more news from USS George H.W.

Farewell Capt. Doug Carpenter; Welcome Capt. Todd Abrahamson By MC1 Daniel Barker NSA Public Affairs

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples held a change of command ceremony at the Capodichino Piazza August 3. Capt. Todd Abrahamson relieved Capt. Douglas Carpenter to become the 34th commanding officer of NSA. Rear Adm. Rick Williamson, commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, presided over the ceremony and offered his appreciation for Carpenter's leadership and highlighted his accomplishments while in command, including several prestigious awards for the installation. “This ceremony is, at its heart, the moment when the fundamental elements of command – responsibility, accountability, and authority – are formally transferred from one individual to another,” Williamson said. Williamson spoke about Carpenter and some of his achievements while in command of NSA Naples. “You boldly and passionately served a community of over eighty-five hundred

military, civilian, and local national employees and their families,” Williamson said. “Your tour has been characterized by the care and consideration for those you have been charged to command.” “Running a base is a team sport, and I have been blessed with a great team.” Carpenter said. “Together

we made a lot of progress over the last three years and I am proud to have served with each and every one of you who comprise this great team. I think of the three main lines of effort as progress that improves mission, progress that improves mission support, progress that improves partnership with our ally Italy, and progress that

improves quality of life.” During his three years, he oversaw the conversion of 120 underutilized family housing units into single Sailor billeting, the introduction of 24-hour gym access, library improvements, base playground updates, numerous improvements at Support Site and enhancements to facilities in Gaeta. “In our partnership

efforts, I point to our strong relationship with the Italian Air Force,” Carpenter said. Carpenter took the time to thank those under his command and gave a special acknowledgement to many of the support staff that directly assisted him in Naples. “If any one thing is certain, it is that I will

return to Naples – but the next time as a tourist!” Carpenter said. Williams mentioned that Captain Abrahamson’s impressive résumé includes tours as a Blue Angels pilot, NATO staff officer in Belgium, commanding officer of Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC), Jacksonville and Airboss aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). “Captain Abrahamson has proven himself as a fine aviator, leader, and critical thinker. He brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to Naples,” Williamson said. “I am confident you will quickly learn to appreciate his immense talents and breadth of knowledge.”

Abrahamson previously served on the Blue Angels flight demonstration team in 2002 and 2003 in addition to USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in August 2012, where he served as Air Officer (“Air Boss”), leading the ship’s largest department of more than 600 personnel. Abrahamson then served as the Executive Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs at the Pentagon from December 2014 to January 2017. In this position, he supported the Secretary of Defense’s primary advisor on all Department of Defense activities in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Western Hemisphere,

Top Five Excuses Not to Wear a Life Jacket From the Safe Boating Campaign

In 2012, the Coast Guard counted 4,515 accidents that involved 651 deaths and 3,000 injuries as a result of recreational boating accidents. Seventyone percent of all fatal boating accident victims drowned, and of those victims, 85 percent were reported as not wearing a life jacket. You can still have fun on the water while wearing a life jacket and boating responsibly. Here are the top five excuses not to wear a life jacket, and the reasons why you should wear life jackets. The number one reason to wear a life jacket is it can save your life, or the life of someone you care about. 1. “I have life jackets on board.” Having life jackets on

board the vessel is not enough. Accidents happen too fast to put on a stowed life jacket. 2. “I’m a strong swimmer.” Even a strong swimmer needs to wear a life jacket. During an emergency, clothing can become heavy or waterlogged while in the water. 3. “It’s too hot and doesn’t look cool.” Old-fashioned, bulky orange life jackets have been replaced with new styles, like inflatable life jackets that may resemble a pair of suspenders or a belt pack. These are much cooler in the warmer weather. 4. “It gets in the way.” There are life jacket styles available for any recreational water activity – fishing, water sports, hunting, paddling and more. There are even styles for pets! 5. “Nothing is going to happen to me.” Face it, accidents happen. Boating can be a fun, safe and enjoyable activity, but when the “Wear It!” message is ignored, the consequences can be grim. Excuses don’t save lives, Life Jackets Do, Drop The Excuse, Wear the Jacket
