Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook
U.S. Authorizes Ordered Departure of DoD Dependents from Turkey By Lisa Ferdinando DoD News
USO TOURS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14
The U.S. government has authorized the ordered departure of Defense Department dependents from Turkey, including those at Incirlik Air Base, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said on March 29. The move announced today comes out of an “abundance of caution” to security concerns in the region, and not in response to a specific threat, Cook told reporters. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, in coordination with Secretary of State John Kerry, authorized the ordered departure for all DoD dependents in Izmir, Adana and Mugla provinces, Cook said. This step does not signify a permanent decision to end accompanied tours at these facilities, according to a news release from U.S. European command. “This decision allows for the deliberate, safe return of family members from these areas due to continued security concerns in the region,” he said. The decision impacts 670 out of the 770 Defense Department dependents in Turkey, Cook said, adding that it is his understanding that “this will move quickly.” The ordered departure applies to all dependents whose sponsors are under the authority of the commander of U.S. European Command, and includes dependents whose sponsors are stationed at Incirlik.

What To Do With Your Vehicle When You PCS By Nadia Irace and Kim Nelson
Are you are approaching the end of your tour in Naples? If so, it is important that you begin preparing early. Once registered in the Allied Forces Italy (AFI) system, there are only three ways vehicle owners may remove their vehicles: ● Ship/Drive it to your follow-on duty station. ● Sell/Transfer ownership to another AFI-eligible member. ● Scrap it through MVRO. Shipping / Driving Have your orders? Work with Personal Property to initiate your move-out process. Once authorized, schedule an appointment to bring your POV to the Vehicle Processing Center (VPC). Then simply call Motor Vehicle Registration Office (MVRO) to inform them of your VPC appointment time. You will be scheduled at MVRO just prior to your appointment at the VPC. You need to bring with you: ● Front and back cover plates, free of dirt or grease. If one or both are missing, you must make a statement to Security and file a “lost plate” denouncement with the Carabinieri. Bring a copy of the denouncement to MVRO. ● Orders showing you are within 90 days of departure. ● Your current AFI registration. Contact Motor Vehicle Registration Office (MVRO) to help you deal with your vehicle when it’s time for you leave Italy. Panorama stock photo

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer
The presidential election season is in full swing across the nation and it is very important to understand the legal limitations that apply to all Department of Defense (DoD) personnel when it comes to participation in political activity. Guidelines for civilian and military participation in political activity are provided through various DoD policies, directives and notices. The most important thing to remember is that as representatives of the Department of Defense we are not allowed to take part in any activity that would imply DoD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign or cause. There has been quite a lot of discussion regarding the primary campaigns, and with the advent of social media, making a slip up in this case has become a lot easier. DoD Civilian and military personnel may generally express their personal views on public issues or candidates via social media. However, if you are identified by the social media site as a DoD employee, you must clearly and prominently state that the views expressed are yours only and not the views of the Department of Defense. Additionally, while you may “follow,” “friend,” or “like” a candidate running for political office, you should not “share” or “re-tweet” comments or tweets from the Facebook page or twitter account of a political party or candidate running for partisan office. For specifics, please touch base with your chain of command or contact your command’s legal office. We live in a globally connected and highly visible world as representatives of the United States government at home and abroad; regardless of the topic it is a good idea to keep the tone your posts on social media friendly and professional. The deadline for filing taxes is just around the corner. The normal deadline falls annually on April 15th, but for those who serve overseas there is an automatic filing extension to June 15th. If you need more time than that, you’ll need to initiate a separate request. Filing your tax return, like voting, is a civic duty required of U.S. citizens at home and abroad. Depending on your situation, filing an accurate return can be a complex process. For those in our community that need a little help or an extra set of eyes on their documents the annual Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is available by appointment to help through Legal Assistance Office. For those who prefer to file on their own, you can visit IRS.gov for forms and instructions. Another option is using a tax filing software or an online program to step your through the process. Regardless of the method you choose, please make sure you file before the deadline to avoid any penalties. If you’re wondering how to best enjoy the great spring weather this weekend, come out to Carney Park and cheer-on our NHS Wildcats Softball and Baseball teams. There is a double-header on Friday with the first games starting at 9 a.m. and the second at 4:30 p.m. On Saturday, the first games begin at 11:30 a.m. followed by the final games at 4:30 p.m.

NAVY HISTORY: BIRTH OF CHIEF PETTY OFFICER
On April 1, 1893, Navy General Order 409 of Feb. 25, 1893, established the rate of Chief Petty Officer. Photo by MCC Travis Simmons
By Gary Nichols NSA Public Affairs
On April 1, 1893, Navy General Order 409 of Feb. 25, 1893, established the rate of Chief Petty Officer. According to naval records, the first mention of the chief petty officer was on a ship’s muster roll in 1775. This brief mention of the CPO title did not resurface in naval history for almost 100 years. In 1865 a Navy regulation reestablished the term chief petty officer. The term was first used for the ship’s Master-at-Arms. It made him responsible for preservation of order and obedience to all regulations. An excerpt from an 1865 regulation tasked the senior enlisted person with the following responsibility: “The Master-atArms will be the chief petty of-
ficer of the ship in which he shall serve. All orders from him in regard to the police of the vessel, the preservation of order, and the obedience to regulations must be obeyed by all petty officers and others of the crew. But he shall have no right to succession in command, and shall exercise no authority in matters no specified above.” This, however, did not establish the term chief as a rate. It was merely a function rather than a rate. Petty officers were divided into petty officers of the line and petty officers of the staff. Chief referred to the principal petty officer of the ship. The next reference to the term chief was in U.S. Navy Regulations Circular Number 41 dated January 8th, 1885. Here again the term chief refers to a function or title rather than a
rate. The men filling these chief billets were actually first and second class petty officers. On Feb. 25th, 1893, President Benjamin Harrison issued an executive order outlining the pay scale for Navy enlisted personnel. This executive order was issued to the Navy as General Order Number 409. This general order divided the pay scale into rates and for the first time listed chief petty officers. Both General Order Number 409 and U.S. Navy Regulation Circular Number 1 listed chief petty officers as distinct rates. These documents went into effect April 1, 1893. Since their inception, chief petty officers have formed the backbone of naval leadership, providing invaluable management, counseling and advisement of Sailors under their charge.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Energy Efficient Computer Use From NSA Naples Energy Management Team
If you wonder when you should turn off your personal computer (PC) for energy savings, here are some general guidelines to help you make that decision: Though there is a small surge in energy when a computer starts up, this small amount of energy is still less than the energy used when a computer is running for long periods of time. For energy savings and convenience, consider the following guideline, if you are: • In the office, please turn off the monitor if you aren’t going to use your PC for more than 20 minutes. • At home, please turn off both the CPU and monitor if you’re not going to use your PC for more than two hours. Make sure your monitors, printers, and other accessories are on a power strip/surge protector. For no mission essential equipment, turn off the switch on the power strip to prevent them from drawing power even when shut off. If you don’t use a power strip, unplug no mission essential equipment when it’s not in use. Sleep Mode and Power Management Features Many computers available today come with a sleep mode or power management feature. ENERGY STAR® estimates that using these features will save you up to $30 each year on your electricity bills. Make sure you have the power-down feature set up on your PC through your operating system software. This has to be done by you; the power management features usually are not already enabled when a computer is purchased. Learn how to activate the power management features on your computer at http://www.energystar.gov/products/low_carbon_it_campaign/po wer_management_computer Note that screen savers are not energy savers. Using a screen saver may in fact use more energy than not using one, and the power-down feature may not work if you have a screen saver activated. In fact, modern LCD color monitors do not need screen savers at all.

SAAPM 2016 Theme: ‘Eliminate Sexual Assault: Know your part. Do your part’ From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
Navy leaders announced March 30, the 2016 Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) theme of “Eliminate Sexual Assault: Know your part. Do your part.” The April awareness month is designed to build momentum for yearround efforts to eliminate the crime of sexual assault, while making sure all Sailors are treated with dignity and respect. “By sharing stories, ideas, and the resources needed to build awareness, we hope every command and every Sailor takes away something meaningful from this month,” Rear Adm. Ann Burkhardt, director, 21st Century Sailor Office, said. “Leaders who feel empowered to make a difference and encourage their Sailors to do the same, are the critical link to ensure we end this crime across the fleet.” Earlier this year, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, announced five initiatives to help “end the scourge of sexual assault” in our Navy. “Eliminating sexual assault requires more than words, zero tolerance requires an all-hands effort,” he said.
CNO’s five initiatives include: 1 - A Shipmate is not a “bystander.” If you see something wrong, do something right. 2 - Establish counselors within the Fleet and Family Support Centers as a resource for victim support. 3 - Improve our personnel management practices and procedures, following a sexual assault experience, to ensure our Sailors are put in the best position possible to succeed. 4 - Continue our efforts to educate our Sailors and reduce alcohol abuse in the Navy, particularly binge drinking. 5 - Better utilize technology to remove cultural barriers and stigma associated with reporting a sexual assault or seeking advice and counsel.

MVRO provides everything the VPC will need. This includes a registration that will remain valid for 100 days to allow you time to register it at the DMV nearest your next assignment. It is imperative that you check with your local DMV since the time authorized to re-register your vehicle may vary. Many customers are under the impression that the Police Check MVRO provides correlates to traffic tickets in Italy. This is not correct. The MVRO Police Check simply ensures that your vehicle was not reported stolen in the Italian system. For traffic citation issues, please pay a visit to the Legal Office.

TURKEY from page 1
Dependents at Ankara and Istanbul are not impacted, the spokesman said. Cook said the decision is intended to mitigate the risk to DoD elements and personnel, including family members, while ensuring the combat effectiveness of U.S. forces and mission support to operations in Turkey. US, Turkey ‘United’ in ISIL Fight Turkey is a strong ally in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Cook said. “The United States and Turkey are united in our common fight against ISIL,” Cook said. Incirlik Air Base continues to play a key role in the coalition’s counter-ISIL operations, he said. The commander of U.S. European Command, Air Force Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, said in the Eucom statement that the decision was made in consultations that included the government of Turkey, DoD and the State Department.
“We understand this is disruptive to our military families, but we must keep them safe and ensure the combat effectiveness of our forces to support our strong ally Turkey in the fight against terrorism,” Breedlove said. ‘Remain Vigilant,’ Says State Department The State Department today issued an updated travel warning for Turkey. In it, the department warned U.S. citizens about the increased threats from terrorist groups, while warning Americans to avoid travel to the southeastern Turkey, particularly near the border with Syria. “Foreign and U.S. tourists have been explicitly targeted by international and indigenous terrorist organizations,” the warning reads. “U.S. citizens are reminded to review personal security plans and remain vigilant at all times.” The warning noted that U.S. government personnel in Turkey remain subject to travel restrictions in Turkey’s southeastern provinces
Selling/Transferring Transferring ownership to another AFI member is a simple process. The seller must obtain a new safety inspection on the vehicle if one has not been done in the past 60 days. Next, make an appointment with MVRO for both parties to sign the bill of sale. Make sure your buyer has an AFI driver’s license and that an insurance policy was initiated on the vehicle in advance. It is best to not wait until the last minute in case of technical problems or the buyer is missing something necessary to complete the transfer. Any loan on the vehicle must be paid off with proof of release of lien prior to the transfer. Scrap If the vehicle cannot pass a safety inspection or you want to get rid of it, you can simply have MVRO scrap it. Simply give MVRO a call and set up a time to deliver the vehicle to the scrap yard on Support Site. MVRO will meet your there to verify the VIN number. You will then bring the license plates to our office and sign the paperwork. There is no cost involved unless the vehicle is not running and must be towed at your own expense. Contact MVRO for a list of towing companies to work with. To process the scrapping, it is necessary to have both license plates and to have proof of release of lien if there had been a loan to purchase the vehicle initially. Additionally, the major components of the vehicle including; body, motor and tires must be intact and present. Despite best efforts, sometimes none of these options can be accomplished in time. In this case, the vehicle owner needs to assign a power of attorney (PoA) for the vehicle. PoAs are limited to 90 days and the car must remain insured by the owner during this period. Choose a reliable PoA who will sell, ship, or scrap your car for you within the time limit. No extensions may be made. Once expired, the owner, not the PoA, may be charged up to 32 percent of the car’s value and it will be scrapped as an “abandoned” vehicle. MVRO is always available to assist customers with planning ahead to avoid potential problems and to answer any questions or concerns you may have. For details call MVRO during normal business hours at DSN 629-6876 or Comm. 081-8116876 at the Support Site office or DSN 626-2831 or Comm. 081-568-2831 at the Capo office, or email cmvro@eu.navy.mil

New Community Recreation Section April 4 Collaborative Planning Session By Chris Kasparek NSA Community Recreation Director
You may notice there is a change to the Panorama family page; we are adding a community recreation section, which we hope will soon become one of your family’s most important sections. From pavilions to fields, from concerts to special events, from day tours to extended tours, from volunteer opportunities to job openings, this new section will inform you about fun, safe and exciting events you can enjoy in the exciting world of MWR Community Recreation. We will also be answering your burning recreation-related questions. For example, what are the details for the Fourth of July celebration at Carney Park? Spooktacular? Tree Lighting? What is the dog policy at Carney Park? How do I plan a trip for myself and my friends using the assistance of Tickets and Travel? All of these questions will be answered in this weekly Community Recreation section and we will give you the resources you need to have
many fun, new adventures and make new friends. We are also bringing together all of the diverse recreation-related resources on board NSA Naples to make it easier for you to enjoy and access more opportunities. How will that work? We are inviting diverse command-sponsored, private organizations and individual citizens – including you – to the first-ever MWR Community Recreation Director’s Collaborative Planning Session April 4 at 6 p.m. at the Reel Time Theatre with the goal of collaboration, partnership and synergy among our diverse community groups, service members and families. Who will be attending?

If you or your group are interested in becoming part this exciting new opportunity, call 629-7911.
