Non-Combatant Evacuation Operation Exercise Held at Support Site From NSA Naples Emergency Management Office

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples conducted a Non-Combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) exercise October 20 at the Navy Exchange Food Court on Support Site. While the exercise at the Support Site was underway, the NSA Naples Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at Capodichino was also activated to coordinate and direct support as part of the exercise scenario. The EOC was able to validate a number of the contact points and discuss our procedures with a number of key partners in the evacuation process, including the Department of State’s U.S. Consulate here in Naples. During the exercise, more than 100 individuals, along with their families and pets were processed. Sean Quinn, the Emergency Management Officer for NSA Naples said the NEO exercise was a tremendous success, especially since personnel and families had an opportu-

member, as well as a command and control perspective,” Quinn said. “We will never be able to eliminate the chaos and anxiety if/when an evacuation may become necessary, but we can lessen it a bit by becoming more informed of the process and what to expect by talking about it

Naples Tiger Sharks Dominates at ‘Double Dip’ Swim Meet By Lyndsey Hale Naples Tiger Sharks Public Relations

Swimming a pentathlon is not easy; swimming a second pentathlon the very next day is downright tough. Endurance was the key and the Naples Tiger Sharks had it. Despite the grueling weekend, the Tiger Sharks dominated the “double dip” swim meet October 8 and 9 at Signonella. Many swimmers dropped time in one or more events over two days of

competition, not to mention many first-time competitors. “I have to say that this was by far the largest participation in my 11 years of coaching for a non-championship meet,” Head Coach Jane Higgins said. “Twentytwo Tiger Sharks stood on the podium for the pentathlon awards.” Out of 17 total events for the pentathlon, The Tiger Sharks grabbed gold nine times. Saturday’s Swim-

mer of the Meet was Annabella Marthaler. Not only did she win gold in the pentathlon, Marthaler was the only swimmer who dropped time in each of her five events at the meet since competing this season. “The team can always count on Annabella to keep the team spirit up and going strong,” Higgins said.

U.S. Responds to Missile Attacks, Targets Three Radar Sites on Yemen’s Coast By Karen Parrish DoD News Defense Media Activity

The United States yesterday conducted sea-launched cruise missile strikes against three radar sites on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook told reporters in a news briefing October 13. “These strikes were in response to attempted missile attacks in recent days against USS Mason and other vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el Mandeb,” Cook said. Cook said the U.S. strikes were launched from the USS Nitze, an Arleigh Burkeclass destroyer operating in the Gulf of Aden. Defending Freedom of Navigation “These targets were chosen based on our assessment that they were involved in missile launches in recent days, and they were struck in order to defend our ships and their crews and to protect freedom of navigation through a waterway that is vitally important to international commerce,” Cook said. The press secretary emphasized two points: the strikes were in response to a threat to U.S. vessels and to freedom of navigation, a core U.S. security interest. RADAR ATTACKS

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

This month NSA Naples joins the nation in recognizing National Disability Employment month. National Disability Employment month was declared in 1988 by Congress to raise awareness of the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. The Department of Defense currently employs 52,000 Americans with disabilities ranging widely in severity. Diversity in the workplace is important because it makes us a better, more resilient and more effective force. The more perspectives we consider and skill sets we develop, the stronger we become. As a highly visible and highly effective community, we have a responsibility to be inclusive and set an example of excellence for other employers nationwide. This month many organizations at NSA Naples are releasing or reviewing their annual DEOCS surveys, which takes the pulse of command climates all over the Department of Defense. The DEOCS survey at its core measures how we treat each other at work and in the community, and provides great feedback to leaders and organizations in ways that are meaningful and actionable. Surveys like this one are anonymous and also help the command gain a better understanding of the climate outside of our individual offices. With this non-attributable information we can work to actively improve our command by focusing on the general areas of concern that can be identified in this survey. Please do your best to answer the survey questions openly, honestly, and within the time limits given by the survey organizers. I would also ask that everyone take time to answer the short answer sections as they help really zero in on the climate of our command. Coming up on Saturday we have our annual Zombie Run at Carney Park to celebrate the fall season as a pre-cursor to our Spooktacular and trick-or-treating events at Support Site. Additionally at Carney Park on Saturday, the NHS Football team will kick off the playoff season, and a Journey/U2 cover band will take the stage following the Zombie Run. Fall is an amazing time of year around Italy. With most schools back in session many of the touristy spots will have less traffic and smaller crowds. Due to the lower demand in flights and hotel rooms, traveling is normally cheaper during this time of year than in summer or the holiday season. Have you seen the major cities of Italy? Visited all the filming locations from Game of Thrones? Being stationed here means you have easy access and opportunities to travel to many dream locations and World Heritage sites – you may never get a better chance – so take some leave days and enrich yourself. Stay safe, and have a great weekend!

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Pope’s Summer Palace in Castel Gandolfo Opened for Tourists The Papal Palace of Castel Gandolfo, is a 17th-century palace, located about 15 miles from Rome. For centuries it has served as a summer residence and vacation retreat for the pope. Pope Francis renounced to move into the sumptuous apartments of the palace and opened his private apartments to tourists, the Vatican announced last week. The palace’s rooms were turned into a museum that was officially inaugurated Friday. The pope has visited the palace only a couple of times since his election in 2013, and has never spent the night there. The Castel Gandolfo has been owned by the Holy See since 1596. Since last year, tourists have also been able to climb aboard a special white train for an express trip to the estate and a tour of the papal villa gardens which were opened to the public in 2014, with tours organized for groups and by reservation only. Italian Now Fourth Most Popular Language There has been an increased number of foreigners who started to study the Italian language, making it the fourth most popular language in the world, after English, Spanish and Chinese. Accoding to the data revealed on the occasion of the Joint Action for the Italian language, the academic year 2014-2015 totalled 2,233,373 million foreign students studying Italian in the world. This increasing appeal of the Italian language is strongly linked to a passion for the so-called “brand of Italy,” and studying Italian language is considered by foreign students as a way to find a job in sectors where Italy leads in art, culture, fashion, design, luxury products, food and wine.

‘Silent’ Saturday Night Dance Party in Downtown Naples A “silent party” will take place tomorrow at 9 p.m. in Piazza Municipio, Naples where hundreds of people will wear headphones and dance while tourists can quietly admire the beauty of Naples. There will be three different DJs playing simultaneously on the same stage but with different music. Each headset will emit green, red or blue lights, depending on which DJ they are listening to, and people can choose what music to follow through headphones according to the lights. The rental cost of headphones is 6 euros (with reservations) or 8 euro tomorrow night. To make a reservation, send a message to whatsapp at 345-8932478; write your first name, last name and Silent Napoli. Closing entry is Saturday at 5 p.m. Ortona Offers ‘Vino’ Fountain For Thirsty Travelers, Pilgrims In the town of Ortona, in Abruzzi region, there is a fountain offering red wine for free. The fountain was inaugurated last Sunday and it is the first kind of fountain accessible 24/7. The fountain is located along a popular pilgrimage route, the Cammino of San Tommaso, and has glorious sights to be seen and vineyards to visit. Thousands of pilgrims and tourists make the journey from Rome to Ortona to visit the city’s cathedral where the remains of Thomas, one of Jesus’ disciples, are kept. The fountain sits in the Dora Sarchese vineyard and is open to everyone who walks by and fancies grabbing a glass of vino. This is a joint project of the vineyard and a non-profit organization that protects the pilgrimage route, and is specifically designed to quench the thirst of all the people taking hikes along the pathway. Another famous fountain offering wine is in Marino, south of Rome, but it is only open for one hour during the town’s annual grape festival and offers white wine.

NAVY HISTORY: MARINES RECAPTURE HARPERS FERRY

Harper’s Weekly illustration of U.S. Marines attacking John Brown’s “Fort” at Harpers Ferry the evening of October 16, 1859. Images courtesy of Library of Congress From NSA Public Affairs

On the night of October 16, 1859, abolitionist John Brown and a band of 21 men raided an Army Armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, with the purpose of sparking a slave revolt. Brown hoped the local slave population would join him, and that weapons seized from the armory would be supplied to slaves and freedom fighters throughout the country. Brown’s raiders easily overpowered the night watchman and they captured the arsenal, taking 40 hostages, which were held in the armory’s heavily-fortified engine house. When workers arrived the next morning, they learned the armory had been seized. They quickly spread the alarm, and within Abolitionist John Brown

hours the armory was surrounded by local militia, which exchanged ineffective gunfire with Brown’s raiders. Learning of the situation that same morning, Secretary of War John B. Floyd ordered 86 Marines from the Marine Barracks at 8th and “I” in Washington, D.C., to depart immediately by train for Harpers Ferry. Their orders were simple: Capture Brown and save the hostages. Under the command of Army Col. Robert E. Lee and led by Marine Lt. Israel Green, the Marines arrived at the armory later that afternoon. At dawn on October 18, Lee´s aid, Army Lt. J.E.B. Stuart, offered to accept Brown´s surrender. Brown refused the offer. The Marines attacked the engine house, defeating the raiders and capturing Brown. One Marine, Private Luke Quinn, lost his life in the raid. Severely wounded, but surviving the attack, Brown was captured. He was tried and sentenced to death in a weeklong trial for murder, inciting insurrection and treason against the State of Virginia. His sentence was perceived by many as an act of martyrdom, which further polarized the nation. Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859.

SPOTLIGHT: SEAMAN SIMEON ISAACS

Seaman Simeon Isaacs, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, enlisted in the Navy in October 2014 as a Hospital Corpsman. He reported to U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples in December of 2015. Isaacs is a vital asset to the Directorate for Dental Services, Oral Surgery Team. As a Surgery Technologist for the Oral Surgery Department, he takes pride in providing the highest degree of patient care to more than 12,000 active duty personnel, dependents, DOD civilians, NATO personnel and all other eligible beneficiaries. Isaacs’s dedication to command and community involvement have set an example for his peers to emulate. He is an active member of the USNH Naples Emergency Response Committee (ERC), and assists in directorate basic life support (BLS) drills and crash cart management. Additionally, he has volunteered for multiple community relations (COMREL) projects within the community to include feeding the homeless, beach clean-ups and the Spring Bazaar. Isaacs enjoys traveling, basketball and watching movies. His short term goal is to advance to the rank of Petty Officer Third Class and his long term goal is to earn a commission in the United States Navy as a medical surgeon. Isaacs’s career goals are well-founded; and he demonstrates his desires through hard work and an aim at serving the beneficiaries at USNH Naples. “Working as a surgery technician in the dental clinic has allowed me to gain more knowledge of the dental field, given me the opportunity to interact with all of our beneficiaries, and it has made me a well-rounded Corpsman,” Isaacs said. “I can’t think of a more rewarding place both personally and professionally. Living in Naples has also allowed me to become more culturally diverse and develop a love for Neapolitan pizza!”

ENERGY CONSERVATION October is Energy Action Month From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Simple energy tips for October (and throughout the year):  Use windows to allow natural daylight to light come into a room. When available, turn off lights for unoccupied rooms/offices.  When feasible turn off fans, air-conditioners and heaters when the room or house is empty.  Unplug all electronic chargers when they are no longer being used.  Do not leave water running continuously, while washing dishes, showering or brushing your teeth. Remember little actions can produce big results: If each person at the NSA Naples changed one – just one – incandescent light bulb for a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), we could reduce energy consumption by more than 540 million watt hours over the course of one year. That’s the equivalent of producing enough energy to power 49 residential houses for an entire year!

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

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.

Inauguration of the Makeba Ib Thiel and Friends Music Club and Laboratory By Claudia Cespedes Lions Club Napoli Monte Nuovo

The Lions Club is one of the largest and most well-known volunteer organizations with 1.4 million members serving in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world. The mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs. In Italy alone, there are more than 1,000 clubs. The Lions Club Napoli Monte Nuovo, which was founded in 2008, is the only club in the Naples district representing members from various countries. Since the foundation, membership has reached more than 55, and more than 15,000 euro have been raised to support organizations, such as Villa Della Rosa in

Lago Patria and the Myriam Makeba Cultural Center (also known as African House) in Castel Volturno. The African House was founded in 2011 by Mary Osei in memory of the great South African singer, Myriam Makeba, a human rights activist who promoted peace and open dialogue. In 2008, six young people from Ghana were brutally shot down in Lago Patria. The reason for this brutal murder is still unknown. Roberto Saviano, the author of the world-renowned book, “Gomorrah,” invited Makeba to perform at a concert in memory of these six individuals. Makeba performed on November 9, 2008. Sadly, she suffered a heart attack while performing and passed away. The Myriam Makeba Center was founded as a reminder of the importance of peace and open dialogue, with the hope of making

this world a little better by understanding and working with one other. The African House welcomes its new addition, the Makeba Ib Thiel and Friends Music Club and Laboratory. The Music Club was created in honor of Ib Thiel, music fanatic and former president of the Lions Club Monte Nuovo. Thiel was introduced to Osei by the leader of the Casa Bianco Nero project. Thiel was so inspired by Osei’s story that the Lions Club Monte Nuovo members decided to include the African House as one of their projects. It was the first time the African House had ever received outside support. And, when Thiel passed away in 2015, Osei dedicated the Music Club to him, as a way to promote open dialogue and peace through music. Music is an international language that is enjoyed by all re-

gardless of their differences. On October 19, 2016, the Lions Club Naples District Governor Renato Rivieccio, Mayor of Castel Volturno Mayor Dimitri Russo, in addition to representatives from Naples area Lions Club associations, gathered for the inauguration of the Music Club and to honor Makeba and Thiel. “Becoming an active member of the Lions Club is important because we all feel that blessings that we have received in our lives should be shared with others who are less fortunate,” Shelia Bryant, a member of the Lions Club Monte Nuovo, said. “The ability to contribute in any small way to make this world a better, more loving and peaceful place is a goal as well as a reward.” For details about the Lions Club Monte Nuovo, visit e-clubhouse. org/sites/napolimn or email lionsclubmontenuovo@gmail.com.

Secondly, “that those who might threaten U.S. forces should recognize that we will not tolerate threats to our people.” The strikes were not connected to the broader conflict in Yemen, Cook said, adding, “The United States continues to encourage all parties in the Yemen conflict to commit to a cessation of hostilities and to seek a political solution to that conflict.” More than four million barrels of oil pass through the Bab el Mandeb each day, he noted.

“This narrow passage is a vital link connecting Asia and Europe,” Cook said. “Safe navigation through the strait is vitally important to economies in the region and to global commerce.” Those who threaten American forces should realize the United States doesn’t “tolerate threats to our people,” Cook said. “We will respond if our forces come under fire,” the press secretary said. “We have taken swift action in this case, and should we see a repeat, we are prepared to take appropriate action at the appropriate time.”

NWU Type III Transition Begins: Five Things You Should Know By Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

Earlier this month, the Navy began its transition from the Navy Working Uniform Type (NWU) I to the NWU Type III as its primary shore working uniform. Here are five things to know about the uniform switch: 1. Sailors can wear either the NWU Type I or III right now, but effective October 1, 2019, all Sailors will be expected to wear the NWU Type III as their primary working uniform when ashore or in port. 2. Until further policy guidance is issued, black boots will be the standard boot worn in the United States and its territories with the NWU Type III, but units can set a commandwide policy authorizing use of the tan boot. In addition to black boots, the black fleece is authorized for wear with the NWU Type III. Expeditionary forces in the United States or any forward deployed forces may wear the desert tan or coyote brown boots at the discretion of the unit commanding officer with the NWU Type III. A future NAVADMIN will be released to specify the revised manner of wear to include au-

thorized components worn with the NWU Type III. 3. As announced this past August, Sailors will be able to purchase NWU Type III components for personal wear through Navy Exchange uniform stores and call centers once there is sufficient inventory on hand. NEXCOM expects to have Type III uniforms in select uniform stores next fall and will expand sales based upon inventory availability. While the Navy is developing an incremental regional fielding plan for the NWU Type III, this transition period will give Sailors time to prepare for the change and allow them to get maximum wear out of recently purchased NWU Type I uniforms. 4. This change is the first step in a multi-phased process that will streamline and consolidate the Navy’s uniform requirements, and ultimately improve uniformity across the force. The Navy has listened to Sailors’ feedback and is incorporating their desires to have a working uniform that is better fitting, more breathable and lighter weight. 5. Enlisted clothing replacement allowance will be adjusted to cover costs of these uniform changes and require-

Region EURAFSWA Focuses on Cyber Security By Petty Officer 2nd Class Joe Bishop Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia Public Affairs

Navy Region Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA) continues to stay vigilant regarding cyber security throughout its expansive area of operations by educating personnel to be information-conscious and knowledgeable computer users. Protection from cyber threats is a critical aspect of one of EURAFSWA’s eight lines of operations – security. By using the latest technology and procedures, Region EURAFSWA protects its information systems and data, the information contained within those systems from cyber attacks, which are deliberate attempts to obtain and exploit that information. “The cyber security triad is known as ‘CIA’ – confidentiality, integrity, and availability,” Julie Weinstein, information systems security manager with Navy Region EURAFSWA, said. “Confidentiality is who has access to the data, integrity is monitoring or controlling who can change the data, and availability is having the data available when needed by authorized users.” Regardless of where one works, cyber security is important, Weinstein said. Security is not only about protecting missioncritical information, but also protecting one’s cyber identity. A person’s cyber identity is comprised of information particularly attributed to himself or herself such as date of birth, social security number, and medical history. Most people have online identities, whether or not they are aware of it. Cyber security is therefore a part of personal security, installation security, and force protection. Cyber security involves more than just computer passwords and anti-virus tools. It is also about operational, physical, and personnel security, Jessica Boldig, information systems security manager with the Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center in Naples, said “Cyber security has become so important because we no longer operate in a paper-based Navy,” Boldig said. “Our information is now almost always stored and transmitted digitally. Furthermore, everything we use in the modern age can be or already is controlled by a computer, and is therefore vulnerable to malicious attack by our adversaries.” To ensure defense in the cyber domain, EURAFSWA Sailors and civilians need to take

precautionary measures necessary to prevent unauthorized disclosures of information, added Boldig. Security also requires a certain level of information awareness. “General precautions include knowing your computer and your information,” Weinstein said. “Check email sources and double check website URLs before going to them. Make sure that your home computer is up-to-date on all patches and anti-viruses. At work, make sure that you are aware of the Department of the Navy’s acceptable use policy.” The capability of the shore enterprise at Navy installations allows U.S. and allied forces in the region to maintain knowledgeable and information-aware computer users wherever and whenever they are needed. Cyber security is a key aspect of the security line of operation. “Our adversaries are very clever and very patient,” Boldig said. “For example, it only takes the metadata from one photo snapped from a smartphone and shared with friends while on deployment to give our adversaries important details about the location of our personnel.” Weinstein offers a few basic tips that ensure a heightened cyber security posture: 1. Ensure that all your annual cyber security training is up to date. 2. Stop and think before you open emails or click on hyperlinks. Verify the authenticity of the source. 3. Log off your workstation at night, reboot on a weekly basis to ensure all security patches can be properly applied. 4. Maintain awareness of your command’s cyber security policies. 5. Open a dialogue with your Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) and, when in doubt, ask questions. Sailors and civilians are welcomed to voluntarily participate in any additional training offered through https://fedvte.usalearning.gov/, NKO, or IASE http://iase.disa.mil/Pages/index.aspx/. A key line of operation for Region EURAFSWA is security. Security, along with the seven other lines of operations of air operations, port operations, safety, housing, Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR), Fleet and Fleet and Family services, and the core are what enable the installations to ensure U.S. and allied forces are able to conduct the full spectrum of operations throughout the region.

Playoff Football, Zombies and Tribute Bands; Oh My!!!! By Chris Kasparek NSA Community Recreation Director

Carney Park has been busting at the seams since February as programming and community events continue to grow and expand within its volcanic walls. Last weekend 50 community members participated in a Family Bonfire that included roasting s’mores and storytelling. A few weeks ago almost 1,000 people participated in Carney Bowl I, a High School Football game that has now grown into a yearly tradition. And who

can forget the 4th of July Celebration when 10,000 of our closest friends and families celebrated our independence with pomp, circumstance and a few fireworks? So it should not surprise anyone that this weekend the park will be busier than ever. Starting Saturday, more than 400 local youth will be participating in Youth Sports Soccer and Flag Football Games. At 2 p.m. the Naples Wildcats Football Team will start their 2016 Playoff Run with a quarterfinal game against the International School of Brussels. After the game the sun will drop, and as it darkens, the Zombies will come out and welcome runners to experience another scary – but fun – Zombie 5K Run. How do you conclude a night like this? With good music of course, as the tribute bands 2U and Journey Tribute Band take to the stage to rock some of your favorite U2 and Journey Tunes. Come out, have a great time and join us for a memorable weekend. For details about this weekend’s events, stop by the Ticket and Travel office at Support Site or call DSN 629-7911.
