Peak PCS Moving Season: Ready, Set, Move!

By Sutten Thomas Navy Household Goods Personal Property Program Manager, NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella

(Part 3 of 3) PRO-Gear Another way to control your shipment weight is to estimate weight for the member’s and Spouse’s Professional Books Papers and Equipment (PBP&E) or “PRO-gear,” if any. Service members and employees pro gear allowance is limited to 2000 pounds (no waivers) maximum. An Employee’s pro gear is part of weight allowances for shipment purposes. Civilian spouses are not entitled to spousal pro-gear (S-PRO) shipment entitlement in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR). PRO-gear includes articles in a member’s possession needed for the performance of official duties at the next or later destination. All S-PRO gear must be inventoried and certified by the sponsor.

Some examples of PBP&E are: refer-

ence materials; equipment peculiar to technicians or mechanics; specialized clothing such as diving suits, astronaut' suits, flying suits and helmets, band uniforms, chaplains' vestments, and other specialized apparel or unusual uniform or clothing item in the member’s possession needed for the performance of official duties.

The weight of M-PRO is not counted against member’s weight allowance. In order for pro gear to be validated the sponsor must complete the following: a) declare pro gear during counseling; b) separate pro gear during packing by the movers, and c) ensure movers weigh pro gear

separately, clearly mark boxes as pro gear, inventory each pro gear item on the shipment inventory before signing final shipping documents.

Spousal pro gear (SPRO) is limited to a maximum of 500 lbs.

S-PRO gear are those items for the spouse’s professional employment, such as ombudsman, lawyer, doctor, nurse, teacher, chef or community support activities at the next destination. Spouse pro gear does not include commercial products for sale or resale used in conducting business; sports equipment or offices; household or shop furniture and MOVING Page 7 CAPTAIN’S CORNER. . . . . . . . . 2 BASE NOTES. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 NAVY HISTORY . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 FFSC CALENDAR . . . . . . . . . . . 5 SOUND OFF . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 MOVIES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 JOBS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12

What’s in the Thrift Savings Plan?

By MC3 David A. Cox USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Public Affairs

Sailors have many investment options when it comes to retirement; one of those is the Department of Defense’s Thrift Savings Plan.

Chief Aviation Maintenance Administrationman Rhoda Rothwell, USS John C. Stennis’ (CVN 74) lead command financial specialist, has spent the last year ensuring Sailors understand the various options for investing, including the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).

“TSP is not like a regular savings plan where it’s just sitting in an account with very little [return on investment],” Rothwell said. “You can keep track of where your money is going and how much return on investment it’s accruing. It’s a better way to get more for your money.”

TSP is the equivalent of a civilian 401(k) retirement plan. Service members can contribute dollars from their paycheck before taxes are taken out. The service member then decides where to allocate the money based on six different mutual fund options.

The safest fund in the TSP is the G fund, which invests in government bonds. The S, I and C funds are riskier, because they invest in shares of stocks of publicly traded companies. Higher risk means that the funds have the potential for higher investment returns. The F fund is a mix of bonds and stocks, and the L fund invests in all of the funds previously mentioned.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

Memorial Day weekend marks the end of May, the opening of the Support Site recreational pool, and the beginning of the heavy Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Season.

The spike in PCS moves makes sense as it coincides with the nationwide summer break for schools, making it the perfect time for most families to pick up and move.

Since many universities also hold their graduations during this time, the number of junior officer PCS moves also increases. A PCS move is a stressful event under the best circumstances, and can sometimes be overwhelming for families making their first overseas move. For this reason we need to work hard on our sponsorship programs and do our best as a community to welcome newcomers.

If you are sponsoring someone, please reach out and make sure they have the most current information about the base and the area. For families, it’s very important to understand their preferences for school and childcare, and then help with the registration or signup process. As a sponsor, your direct experience with local commands and the area make you a primary resource for suggestions and connecting the dots for a successful transition. You may not have all the answers to all the questions, so please do not hesitate to reach out to your Ombudsman, FFSC, or directly to the relevant service office. The goal is to make the onboarding process as smooth as possible and I welcome your feedback for things the base can do to streamline the process.

By working together to get the best information to those arriving to our community we can improve the efficiency and quality of life of personnel stationed here at Naval Support Activity Naples. So reach out to your chain of command, attend required sponsorship classes, and do your best to pass your expertise onto new arrivals.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Stay safe and always have a plan.

SPOTLIGHT: Mental Health Month

By HM1 John Lowe USNH Naples

NAVY HISTORY: Navy Nurse Corps Founded Lt. Karene Takamura U.S. Naval Hospital Naples

With more than 2.7 million registered nurses in America, nurses comprise the backbone of our health care system. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there are 27,903 healthcare workers who serve in the Armed forces and 2,800 of those are our very own Navy Nurses.

Our Navy Nurse Corps was established on May 13, 1908, by President Theodore Roosevelt, hence marking this year as the 108th birthday celebration. The Navy Nurse Corps began with just 20 nurses, known as the “Sacred Twenty” who were who were the first female members to ever formally serve in the Navy, and they were assigned to the first Naval Hospital in Washington, D.C. Long before the Navy Nurse Corps was established, there was an organization that has supported all nurses since 1896, the American Nurses Association (ANA).

Over the years, ANA has relentlessly attempted to advocate for a national week specifically recognizing nurses. By 1974, the White House eventually declared “National Nurses Week” as May 6 to 12, coinciding with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.

Since the establishment of “Nurses Week,” the ANA has promoted a unique theme each year to their nurses and nurse supporters, with this year’s theme being the “Culture of Safety.”

ANA strives to inspire nurses using these themes to find creative and innovative ways to contribute to their own environment, such as

voicing concerns on workplace issues that directly impact patient care or staff members. Within the Navy Nurse Corps, we aspire to implement these annual themes within our community, as well as in our global nursing influence.

Since 1909, our Navy Nurse Corps has evolved to be a global force, no longer confined to work within our nation’s borders. We are located all over the world as part of our global healthcare network: from clinics to hospitals, to ships and remote compounds in war zones. Unique to our duty to the military, we teach health promotion and prevention as well as care for fellow service members, their families, and allied forces in wartime and peacetime.

Navy nurses are more than just frontline caregivers, we are also leaders, educators, mentors and program managers whenever and wherever duty calls.

As our Navy nurses deploy or move from one duty station to another, let us not forget our civilian colleagues who are the pillars to military healthcare. They help train new residents, nurses, and corpsmen as well as maintain a system of order which allows our facilities to independently function. With our ever changing military healthcare team, we trust and rely on our civilian colleagues to keep our organization resilient.

To all nurses – military, civilian or retired – you are respected and valued. The Naples Area Nurses’ Association proudly celebrates all of you. Thank you for providing world class care anywhere, any time while adapting to the challenging, evolving needs of the U.S. Navy and the current events of our world.

With the slowdown of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, those of us with combat experiences have become continuously scarcer. I have found that we have similar stories; not necessarily of combat experiences, but of the impact of deployment.

I find this group to be wary of large crowds and loud HM1 John Lowe noises like fireworks. We are constantly hypervigilant and irritable, to the point at which most consider us paranoid or short-fused, and we often have nightmares of our deployment experiences.

Sadly, we can also be very resistant to seek help, which can often lead to more serious mental health concerns, like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The problem is not that the resources are unavailable or unknown, but more often, we allow things like pride or the idea that we are hardened combatants, and should deal with this on our own, get in the way. We may feel that no one will understand and, or be able to help us, or even worse, we feel like it will get better eventually, even when we are still dealing with it several years later. The biggest struggle for me has been the fear which was embedded in my misinformed junior corpsman brain that going to behavioral health would negatively affect and potentially end my naval career.

I work as an Independent Duty Corpsman in the best field my rating has to offer. Through providing care to patients struggling with psychiatric issues, I have learned that most, if not all of these rumors are overwhelmingly false.

Asking for help reflects courage, not weakness. We are not alone and there are people who understand and can help.

It has been eight years since my initial combat deployment.

I now have a wife and two children who deserve the best “me” I can offer. After all these years of holding back and trying to do this on my own, I decided that enough is enough. Recently, I committed to making the first step in my journey to getting better. In honor of Mental Health Month, I encourage anyone else who has hidden, or has witnessed a friend or loved one hide in the shadows as I did for so many years, to take this step too.

Help is available here at U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples. You can contact Behavioral Health at Comm. 081811-6306, Fleet and Family Services Center Comm. 081-5685547, the USNH Naples Emergency Department at Comm.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Everyone Uses Energy From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

People use energy each day for transportation, cooking, heating and cooling rooms, manufacturing, lighting, entertainment, and many other uses. The choices people make about how they use energy affects the environment and everyone’s lives.

Did you know?

The ENERGY STAR® label on appliances and electronic equipment identifies energy-efficient products. With the help of the ENERGY STAR® program, from 1992 to December 2014, families and businesses saved $360 billion on utility bills, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5 billion metric tons.

Efficiency and conservation are different but related The terms energy conservation and energy efficiency have two distinct meanings. There are many ways people can use less energy (conservation) and many ways people can use energy more wisely (efficiency).

Energy conservation is any behavior that results in the use of less energy. Turning the lights off when leaving the room and recycling aluminum cans are both ways of conserving energy.

Energy efficiency is the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function. Using a compact fluorescent light bulb that requires less energy rather than using an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light is an example of energy efficiency.

The rebound effect If the demand for energy services remains constant, then improving energy efficiency would reduce energy consumption. But some of the energy efficiency improvements might not reduce energy consumption overall. This offset is called the rebound effect, and can sometimes result in increased energy usage, despite energy efficiency improvements. For example, if you have an older car that has terrible gas mileage, and you buy a newer car with better mileage, but you drive it more because you’re getting better mileage, you can actually end up wasting more gas.

Memorial Day marks not only a day of reflection and honoring the country’s fallen service members, but also the beginning of the “101 Critical Days of Summer,” lasting from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Kids are out of school, families are out on the road for vacation and the weather supports a variety of outdoor sports. The same mix of ingredients that can lead to great memories can often lead to a significant injury if we don’t appropriately manage the risks involved.

Take the time to assess the risks associated with your activities, no matter what they are, and implement the necessary measures to mitigate them. When driving long distances, take a 20 minute break every couple of hours and don’t drive more than 10 hours to include break time; and, that’s how you have a great summer, and don’t drink and drive.

BBQ Safety Tips Keep the following safety tips in mind when using your charcoal grills: ● Never use a charcoal grill inside an enclosed area. If you’ve grilling, and you assume all the coals are extinguished, they’re still producing carbon monoxide, so keep your charcoal grills outside at all times. ● Don’t wear loose clothing, especially long sleeves, while grilling. ● Charcoal grills tend to flare up, so keep a fire extinguisher handy. ● Use charcoal lighter fluid to light new coals only; never use it on coals that are already lit.

Water Sports Safety ● Learn to swim ● Always wear a life jacket when in a boat and/or water skiing ● Be careful when entering or exiting the water from a boat ● Learn CPR and first aid ● Know which local water animals may be dangerous ● When diving or snorkeling, look; but, don’t touch ● Wear sunscreen

● Go with a buddy Whether you are whitewater rafting, swimming, or snorkeling, it is important to prepare for the sport before diving in.

Many sports require certification; and even if your chosen activity doesn’t, it’s still a good idea to find out more about safety before going.

Overexposure to harmful UV rays over time may also cause premature skin wrinkling and aging, age spots and an increased risk of skin cancer. To prevent injury, experts advise avoiding going outdoors during midday if the sun is too intense.

For those who work outside during summer months, apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 at least every two hours, and never use sunscreen that is more than one year old.

Live to Play and Play to Live Head injuries are the number one cause of serious injury and death to kids on wheels. Here are some tips on how to keep your kids on wheels

need to stay safe: Bicycle: Make sure your child is wearing a bike helmet; Make sure the bike is the right size; adjust seat until toes touch the ground; Make sure the bike’s brakes are working, it has a bell or horn, reflectors and the tires have air.

Scooter: Your child is wearing a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads; and the handlebars are the right height (they should be able to hold them without leaning forward).

In-line skates: Make sure your child is wearing a helmet, wrist pads, elbow pads, and knee pads; and that the skate size is the same as your child’s shoe size.

Skateboard: Make sure your child is wearing a helmet, wrist pads, elbow pads, and knee pads; if they are just learning to ride, choose a small board with small wheels.

MOVING from page 1 fixtures such as desks, cabinets, and racks etc. A complete inventory list of all S-PRO gear items must be completed during pack out.

Privately Owned Vehicle This time last year, the big headlines were chronic delays of DoD shipped Privately Owned Vehicles (POVs). However, to date the POV contractor, International Auto Logistics (IAL) has shown improved performance metrics of delivering POVs on-time to service members worldwide. Current trends indicate contractor performance is much better overall.

Before setting up a counseling session to ship or store a POV, check to see if your POV is on the list of recalled vehicles at https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ . If the vehicle is listed as having an active safety or operational recall notice, immediately contact your servicing Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) to determine if your vehicle will or will not be accepted for shipment or storage. If VPC will not accept for shipment or storage, immediately take your vehicle to a certified mechanic or vehicle dealership (authorized by the manufacturer) for the required repairs.

Proof of repair from a certified mechanic or dealership (authorized manufacturer) will be required by VPC before shipping or storing your vehicle. Some destinations do have restrictions on POVs or certain POV features.

Consult your “It’s Your Move” shipping responsibilities brochure for more information

or visit the POV shipping contractor, International Auto Logistics (IAL), website at www.pcsmypov.com. If your POV is not delivered on the required delivery date, talk to a PPSO counselor or visit IALs website for POV tracking, claims information and claims processing on missed required delivery date of POV shipments.

Creating Your Move Application Contact your local personal property staff or “self-counsel” within DPS. If you plan to move soon and have your official Permanent Change of Station orders, don’t wait! Get started now. DPS online is available 24/7 for you to initiate your moving application. Just go to the DPS website at http://www.move.mil/index.cfm. A username and password is required for self-counseling access. DPS has been extremely innovative in that it allows the member to manage their move from origin pickup to destination delivery.

Additional features of DPS include online claims functionality, frequently asked questions, and Customer Satisfaction Surveys. Of course, traditional appointments can be coordinated with your local PPSO. Make your move, a stress free move this summer. Additional resources can be found at the official Navy’s Household Goods & Personal Property website at http://navsup.navy.mil/household or www.move.mil.

Alice Through The Looking Glass Premiere PG, Action-Adventure, 108 min.

Cast: Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, Rhys Ifans, Helena Bonham Carter. Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself.

The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out.

The Angry Birds Movie PG, Animation-Comedy, 95 min.

Cast: Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon. The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely.

But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.

Barbershop: The Next Cut Last Showing PG-13, Comedy, 120 min. Cast: Ice Cube, Common, Queen Latifah, Nicki Minaj, Anthony Anderson. It’s been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin’s Barbershop. Calvin and his longtime crew, including Eddie, are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighborhood.

The Boss Last Showing R, Comedy, 99 min. Cast: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Kathy Bates, Tyler Labine, Peter Dinklage. A titan of industry is sent to prison after she’s caught for insider trading.

We find Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps – one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

Criminal R, Action-Adventure, 115 min.

Cast: Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds. This is the story of the right man in the wrong body.

The Jungle Book PG, Action-Adventure, 106 min.

Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera, and the free-spirited

bear Baloo. Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa, a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.

Keanu Premiere R, Comedy, 100 min. Cast: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Jason Mitchell. Clarence and Rell are two cousins who live in the city but are far from streetwise.

When Rell’s beloved kitten, Keanu, is catnapped, the hopelessly straight-laced pair must impersonate ruthless killers in order to infiltrate a street gang and retrieve the purloined feline.

But the incredibly adorable kitten becomes so coveted that the fight over his custody creates a gang war, forcing our two unwitting heroes to take the law into their own hands Mother’s Day PG-13, Comedy, 118 min.

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god.

Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s XMen universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible.

As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven with the help of Professor X must lead a team of young XMen to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Farewell to Italian Air Force CO Col. Palmiero Welcome New Italian Air Force CO Col. Levante From NSA Public Affairs

On Thursday, Colonel Angelantonio Palmiero of the Italian Air Force was succeeded by Colonel Luigi Levante after serving two years as the Commanding Officer of the Italian Air Force Base at Capodichino.

As a tenant of the Italian base it has been an honor to serve alongside Col Palmiero and his dedicated staff.

Throughout the years we have worked through a number of issues spanning security and cooperative efforts to simplify airport regulations and procedures. With his leadership, we have increased the partnership and cooperation between Italy and the USA, and made great strides in the efficiency of operations at

TSP SAVINGS

from page 1

Which fund the service member decides to invest in depends on their own personal retirement goals.

“If you put it all into the G fund you won’t be getting the most bang for your buck, but if allocated well to all the funds, you could be making a decent return on investment in a few years,” Rothwell said. “Six percent each paycheck could very well turn into a million dollars by the age of retirement.”

Rothwell said that the L fund is probably the best fund for a young Sailor just joining.

Investing in the TSP also has

Col Palmiero will tackle his next duty assignment at the Headquarters of the Italian Air Force in Rome to continue serving Italy with his wife Teresa and their two boys. NSA Naples Italy thanks Colonel Palmiero and his family for their warm friendship to the American community and wishes them fair winds and following seas on their next assignment.

several other advantages including: being able to borrow against the amount available in your account for personal loans or home loans and being able to roll the amount over into a private 401(k) or individual retirement account (IRA).

If a service member decides to withdraw all of their TSP before the age of 59-1/2, the amount will be subject to a 20 percent federal income tax in addition to a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty. When an individual separates from the military they are allowed to keep their investment in TSP however they must withdraw the full amount or roll it into a

different account by age 701/2.

Rothwell said Sailors should put money in the TSP, because it is an account you do not see every day, like your savings account.

“Your first thought when you look for money for an emergency isn’t to take your money out of your TSP, it’s to take it out your savings,” Rothwell said. “A good quote by Warren Buffet is ‘Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after savings,’ which is easy when you have a TSP, if you budget and finance correctly you won’t have a problem.”

Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended.

Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage. All economy leases negotiated

through the Housing office have a bottle water clause, which requires the landlord to provide bottled water.

Work with landlords to have any water holding tanks disinfected twice a year, and ensure your tap water is disconnected from non-permitted wells and connected only to the city water system.

Carney Park Shuttles Are Back Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy the Ride

By Chris Kasparek NSA Community Recreation Director

You’ve just arrived in Naples but you don’t have a car yet? You do have a car, but you haven’t mustered the nerve to try driving off base yet? You haven’t heard of Carney Park or you don’t know where Carney Park is yet?

Carney Park – a 96-acre recreation area that is part of NSA Naples – is one of the most unique parks in the world, due to being located inside Monte Gauro, an extinct volcanic crater just a few miles west of Naples. Carney Park features a nine-hole golf course, pro shop and restaurant; Olympic-size outdoor pool with water slides and kiddy pool; numerous sports fields and courts (baseball, softball, football, soccer, tennis, basketball, volleyball, paintball and horseshoes); cabins; picnic and camping areas; youth center; playgrounds; Outdoor Recreation Center; and NEX. This past week the Carney Park Shuttle Service started back up. The service will run Thursday through Sunday, now through September 4. Specific schedules can be picked up in person at Tickets and

Travel, Fitness Centers, Liberty Center, Libraries, CDC’s, Auto Skills Center, Youth and Teen Centers. Pick-up and drop-off locations will be: Capo-NGIS stop, SS-TLA stop and Carney Park-Outdoor Rec Center parking lot.

The following rules apply to the free Shuttle Service: Single Sailors, TLA families and all U.S. ID card holders are eligible to ride; Riders are first-come, firstserved; Riders must be at least 16 years old to ride without an adult; Riders are responsible for boarding at scheduled times and will need alternate transportation if they miss the shuttle or it is full; Limited space for strollers, coolers, etc. is available. As a reminder, shuttles are not staffed with an MWR employee.

There will be also special schedules for the Fourth of July Celebrations at Carney Park, and those will be posted separately.

And, here’s a very important point, if we don’t use the shuttle, we could lose this very convenient service. So what are you waiting for? Come on out and take advantage of all the great activities there are to enjoy at Carney Park, and best of all, we’ll do the driving.
