The Coastline“Ma’am, I assume command,” said Col. Timrek

Heisler, the new commanding officer of the 521st Air Mobility Operations Group (AMOG), during a change of command ceremony aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain, Aug. 14.

Under the warm Spanish sun and shadowed by the new $9.2 million Air Cargo Facility that opened last fall, Heisler relieved Col. Carlos Ortiz as the commanding officer of the 521st AMOG during the ceremony in front of Airmen, Sailors, family members, and guests. Presid-ing over the ceremony was 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing Commander, Col. Nancy Bozzer.

“Today we’re here to pass a flag from one great leader to another. Even though this ceremony is steeped in tradition, it is a symbolic gesture of change,” Bozzer said. “Carlos [Ortiz] has been the right kind of leader at the right time to help shape and build a foundation for this group. He was the right person at the right time to build the foundation and partnership with our Navy brothers and sisters. He was the right person to build those friendships - those relationships - with our Spanish military leaders and our community partners.”

Bozzer spoke of Ortiz’s enthusiasm and leadership, which covered more than 5,000 miles, 11 countries, and 1,400 personnel.

“He was able to accomplish this feat by teaching and encouraging his Airmen to be bold and innovative lead-ers, to be great citizens, ambassadors and neighbors, and represent the United States, the Air Force and this wing proudly. And Carlos was able to do this because he gave the best gift of all: his time,” she said.

Dubbed ‘Col. Awesome’ following Ortiz’s assumption of command in 2012 where he repeatedly used the term ‘awesome’ to express his enthusiasm over taking command, Ortiz spoke of the family that the 521st has become, and enthusiasm they displayed through count-less missions and operations under his leadership.

“The truth is that I’ve enjoyed a front row seat to your amazing leadership, commitment, energy, enthusiasm, mad skills - and that’s skills with a z - and your sacrifices. The point is, that while I’m grateful for the experience, it’s truly you and your teams that did [it],” Ortiz said. “Thank you each, for carrying my eagles with such grace, poise,

and style. While it will be tough to leave this base … we take with us incredible memories. We thank each of you for the great times that we’ve shared.”

To Heisler, Ortiz wished he and his family luck during “this wild ride,” and imparted wisdom upon Heisler as the new commanding officer.

“Like a great chief once told me, ‘the leadership of this team is like the bull with its energy and with its mo-mentum, just like the toro,’ and you my friend will be el mejor torero,” he said.

Assuming command, Heisler spoke to the six teams that will fall under his guidance as group commander re-garding professionalism and giving your best on the job.

“You know, it’s a common practice in an organization like this to think of the capability in terms of vehicles and machinery. In reality, it’s the people that make this team

great,” Heisler said. “Moving forward as members of this organization, all I’m going to ask for is your best. Because your best is what it’s going to take to move this organization forward and frankly, the person standing next to you deserves it. However, there will be days when your best isn’t good enough, and I’m charging our senior enlisted NCOs and officers to build teams, so that when you get to that day and your best isn’t good enough, the team will have your back; I’ll have your back.”

Ortiz will report as the U.S. Transportation Command liaison officer to European Command, Africa Command, and NATO in Stuttgart, Germany.

Heisler comes to Rota from the Congressional Re-search Service in Washington, D.C. where he was a National Defense Fellow.

The sand fly is hardly noticeable. It does not make the typical buzzing sound of a mosquito and its bite can often be painless, although some other sand fly bites can feel like a hot poker against the skin. So how does a delicate fly 1/3 the size of a mosquito become a threat? When it involves you or your family pet in its blood-feeding lifestyle.

Phlebotomine sand flies are similar to mosquitoes in that only the female insects feed on blood, the proteins of which enable the female to produce eggs. During the blood feeding an uninfected female sand fly may pick up a disease-causing parasite or virus that it may then pass on when it bites an uninfected animal.

In Spain and across southern Europe the two most important diseases transmit-

ted by infected sand flies are leishmaniasis (leesh-muh-nahy-uh-sis), caused by a protozoan parasite, and one of several viruses that cause sandfly fever. Sandfly fever is caused by one of several Phleboviruses carried by sand flies. The symptoms produce an acute, influenza-like illness. Some viruses in this group, including the Toscana virus present in Mediterranean countries, may occasionally cause severe outcomes such as encephalitis, which is brain swelling.

Leishmania parasites are transmitted by sand flies in many parts of the world in-cluding Southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and tropical areas of Africa, and central and east Asia. Leishmaniasis may develop in two forms in this region: the cutaneous (affecting the skin) form is recognized by skin sores that take on the form of bumps,

Team Rota,It’s hard to believe that August is almost over! As summer

begins to wind down, the school faculty - teachers, administra-tors, volunteers - of David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Elementary/Middle/High School are ramping up for the 2014 - 2015 school year, which begins Monday.

I want to personally welcome the eight new faculty members and many families and students who will be part of the DGF and Naval Station Rota community these next several years. In addition to the nor-mal summer rotation of families, we have slowly increased the American population here in Rota due to the arrival and stationing of two - USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) and USS Ross (DDG 71) - of the four planned FDNF destroyers. This increase in population also means an increase of students, teachers, and adminis-trators who will attend and be part

of the DGF family. Due to this growth you will see that there are some new additions on the DGF grounds. We have built four temporary re-locatable buildings (RLBs) that are ready for the school year to accommodate the expansion in our Middle School. We will build 12 more RLBs over the course of the year to accommodate more DGF students - Elementary, Middle, and High School. These are definitely exciting times!

As a “heads up” for the new students and families, there will be a new student orientation this Friday, 1 to 3 p.m. in the Multi-purpose Building (MPB). Participation is highly encour-aged. Also, all students are to report to the gym on the first day of school - Monday - at 8:15 a.m. to receive their schedules, lockers, and other information. The school day on Monday will be an early release with Elementary School students released at 1 p.m. and Middle/High School students released at 1:15 p.m.

As teachers ready their classrooms and students prepare mentally for their return to class, I wish all of you a fun-filled and rewarding school year. The beginning is always an exciting time to meet new friends and teachers, reunite with old friends, and meet the challenges of a new grade. I hope that you will all embrace and appreciate the wonderful opportunity you have to learn abroad at such a wonderful school in beautiful southern Spain. Under the leadership and guidance of DGF Middle/High School Principal Mohan Vaswani and Vice Principal Marc Villarreal and DGF Elementary School Principal Walt Wilhoit, the students are in good hands. We also have a new School Liaison Officer (SLO), Amber Richardson, who brings a wealth of knowledge, talent, and energy to her position. We are as prepared as we can be!

I also highly encourage our Naval Station Rota community to participate and/or volunteer in the many activities, clubs, sports, and events that DGF will have throughout the 2014 - 2015 school year. With the growth in our base population, this year promises to be an exciting one, and my family and I look forward to being part of it. Have a great week!

Welcome Back Students - School Starts Monday

Boy or girl, when news of a pregnancy arrives, most parents are only hoping for a healthy child. When Tristan was born, his parents could not have imagined the long road that lay ahead for their second son to get to good health.

"He was born and we never really knew anything was wrong," said Electronics Technician 1st Class Stephanie Harris, who was a recruiter in San Diego at the time and is now a recruiter in Fairfax, Virginia. "We realized he had a protrusion coming from his stomach one time when he was 1 year old and we took him in. They started doing a whole bunch of testing and found that he had been born with this really rare and severe malformation of his renal and urinary system and needed several surgeries. That was when we started

the enrollment process for the [Exceptional Family Member Program (EMFP)]."

The EFMP is a quality of life program that is man-dated for all Sailors who have family members with a chronic medical or educational condition which requires special care and services.

The program was established in 1987 to ensure that when a Sailor is in the process of a permanent change of station (PCS) to a new duty station, any special needs required for a family member can be met at that new location. The Navy currently has over 17,000 family members enrolled in the program, which is broken up into six categories depending on the needs of each family member.

"Enrollment into the EFMP means a medical or edu-cational need has been identified. We want to ensure current and future assignments can support those needs for a successful tour for both the service member and their family," said Lt. Cmdr. Brent Dennis, the Navy Program Manager for the EFMP. "Category one is for monitoring purposes. Category two pinpoints various overseas and remote locations within the United States. Category three is no overseas assignments because the family member has a medical or educational need that exceeds the availability of care. Category four means we have to keep you close to a major medical area within the continental U.S. (CONUS). Category five is treated like the homestead program where the needs are specialized and complex. In an effort to maintain a continuity of care the Sailor and family are placed in a location that provides what the family needs, and the Navy tries to keep them there. To meet the Sailor's career progression needs unaccompanied tours are always an option no matter what category their family member is assigned to. Category six is a temporary

category used for short term medical evaluation that requires enrollment for six to 12 months."

Getting Tristan enrolled in the program came with its own hardships. Significant paperwork was needed by his parents and his doctors. That paperwork then needed to be sent up the chain for review.

"It was a little bit challenging," said Harris. "It's a large stack of paperwork. As a result of what we went through with Tristan, I became the EFMP coordinator at my command because there are so many things I found out afterward. I didn't have an EFMP coordinator; I was really on my own when I enrolled him. There's a good amount of paperwork that you fill out and then you have to take it to your doctor or specialist. It's mostly done by them, which is actually the most challenging part because you have to follow up with them and sometimes before they can give any of the paperwork back, they have to get it to their legal department and have the legal department review it because all of these health care facilities and hospitals have different requirements."

Harris said once you're in a category like category three, it is just saying that you can't be stationed over-seas.

She said because of Tristan's particular condition, the types of doctors that her child needs are not close to every military base, so that's taken into consideration whenever we move.

When a condition is identified by a member of the health care or educational team, the family is referred to the EFMP coordinators at the local medical treatment facility or fleet and family service centers, said Dennis.

"The EFMP coordinators will assist the sponsor and family members with the enrollment process. The forms

Breakfast for Students

A healthy breakfast is crucial in providing children the nutrients and energy they need to succeed in school. Studies show that breakfast eaters tend to have higher school attendance, less tardiness, and fewer hunger-induced stomachaches in the morning. Their overall test scores are better; they concentrate better, solve problems more eas-ily, and have better muscle coordination. Children who eat breakfast are also less likely to be overweight and more likely to get enough calcium.

In order to make sure your child gets a good breakfast, follow these helpful tips: - Get organized the night before.- Keep meals simple.- Take breakfast to go. Here are some quick, easy and balanced breakfast ideas for children:- Cheese slices served on whole-grain toast.- Iron-fortified, whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk and banana slices.- Nut or sunflower butter spread on whole-grain toast or waffles, or rolled inside

a whole-wheat tortilla.- Fruit, like peaches, strawberries or raisins, in plain instant oatmeal made with

low-fat milk.- Apple slices and low-fat yogurt topped with crumbled graham crackers.- Lean turkey on a toasted whole-wheat English muffin.These options are all loaded with protein and carbohydrates, two important

nutrients that help energize the body and keep stomachs full longer. Avoid prepackaged foods, such as donuts and toaster pastries. They contain

excess sugar and fat can be laden with extra calories and have little nutritional value.

Start the school year out right with a good breakfast and be Healthy for Life!

As a reminder to all hands, the shipment of alcohol through the U.S. Postal System is unauthorized. Labeling the shipment as "olive oil" or similar

makes the offense more egregious. Not only is it against regulations and can result in a postal offense/loss of postal privileges, it also causes loss/damage of other mail as these items usually break and leak over other items. Please share this with your family members as we have had official records (including medical records) ruined and other people's personal items damaged as a result of people attempting to ship alcohol through the mail system.

Have you ever lost your temper? Have you ever wished you could lose your temper and never find it

again? Perhaps this year you’ve made a promise to yourself to do better in the area of anger management and losing your temper. Many have, but what do we do with something that pesters us, or an-noys us. Let me share a story with you.

The following narra-

tive concerns a man in his 30s and is told by some old magazine. Early one morning as “Ralph” was enjoy-ing his sleep he was rudely awoken by a noise “that sounded like someone repairing boilers on his roof.”

“Ralph,” in his pajamas, proceeded to his backyard to investigate. He discovered a woodpecker busily at-tempting to put a hole in his television antenna. Anger arose at this ridiculous critter that had ruined his sleep, and “Ralph” proceeded to grab a rock and let it fly at the small annoyance. The rock missed its primary target and hit a secondary one - his car window. Disgusted at the sound of smashing glass and the realization at what he had done, he proceeded to kick at a clod of dirt forgetting he was barefooted. Need I say more?

In the Liturgy of the Hours night prayer we read, “If you are angry, let it be without sin. The sun must not go down on your wrath; do not give the devil a chance to work on you,” Ephesians 4:26-27.

Uncontrolled anger bears its own consequences, as “Ralph” can tell you, but God tells us that we should not let the sun go down while we are angry. It is okay to have anger, but you have to find constructive ways to express it and let it go. Perhaps this gives new meaning to the phrase, “lose your temper.” We are to lose it and then really lose it.

If you would like to speak to me or another chaplain regarding this discussion or any other issue, please call the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

This workshop helps people manage conflict by examining their attitudes and behaviors when faced with conflicting situations; practicing skills that prevent conflict from escalating; and, working with others to solve problems, allowing people to grow, missions to succeed and families to strengthen. For more information or to register call 727-3232.

Credit Management Tuesday, 9 - 10 a.m. I owe, I owe, it’s off to work I go. Wondering if you’re using credit appropriately? Find out what determines the cost of credit. Discover your own debt ratio and the warning signs of too much credit. Sign up at 727-3232.

David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Elementary School will ring in the new school year with the 14th Annual Opening Day Celebration, Monday. This will be the first day of school for students first through 12th grade. This community-wide celebration is part of an ongoing tradition here at Naval Station Rota and an op-portunity to start the beginning of the school year as a celebration of learning. If you have a child beginning kindergarten, please see the special section below with separate information about the kindergarten schedule.

Parents of children in first through fifth grades are encouraged to come to school with their child Monday at 8:15 a.m. The school staff will greet all parents and students in the courtyard at the Elementary School. Teachers will display signs with their name so that parents and children can find their class. Volunteers will be on hand to assist anyone needing help locating their teacher. Homeroom assign-ment for school year 2014 - 2015 will be emailed Friday after 5 p.m. Class lists will not be posted outside the school library as they have been in previous years.

From 8:55 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. students will attend class while parents have the opportunity to gather information from school staff and various community groups and programs around the base. Also, during this time when the students are out of the classroom getting acquainted with one of their specialist teachers, classroom teachers will host parents to a Classroom Open House. Parents can meet their child's teacher and learn about the school year ahead.

Below is the Open House schedule. Open House Time Grade Level8:55 - 9:25 a.m. 4th Grade9:30 - 10 a.m. 5th Grade10:05 - 10:35 a.m. 2nd Grade10:40 - 11:10 a.m. 1st Grade11:50 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. 3rd GradeEveryone is invited to have a picnic lunch on the school grounds. Boxed lunches

will be available from the Navy Exchange (NEX) School Cafeteria for students and their parents. Feel free to bring a lunch from home. First through third grade families will have lunch from 11:30 a.m. to noon, fourth and fifth grade students and their parents will have lunch from 12:05 to 12:35 p.m. For those who are new to our community, please be aware that students are not allowed to pay cash for school lunches. Parents and students must register for an online account at the Navy Exchange customer service counter. Parents may want to bring a blanket or picnic chairs, something for the family to sit on. After lunch, students will return to class with their teachers for end of the day wrap-up. School will release at 1 p.m. and the buses will run on the early release schedule, two hours earlier than the regularly scheduled time. DGF Middle/High School will release at 1:15 p.m. Kindergarten Students

All parents of kindergarten students are invited to bring their child to their kin-dergarten for an orientation classroom on Monday, 1:15 to 2:30 p.m. Parents with older children will have time to meet them and walk to the kindergarten classrooms. Kindergarten teachers will meet with parents for a kindergarten open house while the children play on the early childhood playground under the supervision of other school personnel. Teachers will set up home visits with the family of every kindergarten student. These home visits are part of the Depart-ment of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) full-day kindergarten program to help young students feel more comfortable with their new teacher and their new school experience.

Parking is very limited at the school, so all parents and children who live within a reasonable walking distance are encourage to walk to school.

Greetings from the office of the DGF Middle School. My name is Marc Villarreal and I am the assistant principal for DGF Middle/High School. Our principal, Mohan Vaswani, and I share responsibilities for the guidance and supervision of the curriculum and instruction for our students. In the school year 2014-2015 I will be largely respon-sible for the establishment of middle school concepts in our school. Our middle school will be subdivided into grade-level teams. Four teachers will be on the sixth grade team. The seventh and eighth grade teams will have three teachers each. Some of the exciting programing will be the availability of foreign languages and higher level math classes. All of our students should be challenged to their maximum potential.

Seventh and eighth grade students will have the opportunity to begin earning high school credit for these courses. During the first quarter I will be providing leadership for Seville E/MS. I will generally be serving at that school on the first days of each week. If you need my assistance I will still be reachable via email and telephone conferences. We look forward to the new school year with high expectations and great anticipation.

Welcome to school year 2014-2015 and to David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Middle/High School, home of the Admirals! Incoming students new to our school will find that DGF Middle/High School is a lively learning community with numerous opportunities for academics, sports, and social enrichment and development.

I am pleased to be starting my second year as principal at DGF Middle/High School. There are many new and exciting changes at DGF this year. We have eight new teachers joining the Rota family to prepare for the new growth in Rota. We have also constructed nine new classrooms. Middle school students will be pleased to part of a new grade-level team with the same core grade-level teachers. In addition, every middle school student has the opportunity to enroll in Spanish. Juniors and seniors will be able to enjoy the opportunity to enroll in four additional new Advanced Placement offerings.

I look forward to forming a relationship with parents and encourage parental involvement. I encourage all students to become involved in the school by participating in the many clubs, sports, and activities.

I encourage all new students and parents to attend the new student orientation Friday, 1 to 3 p.m. in the Multi-purpose Building (MPB).

All students are to report to the gym Monday at 8:15 a.m. to receive schedules, lockers, and valu-able information. The end of the school day on Monday is 1:15 p.m. The regular schedule - 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. - will start on Tuesday.

We anticipate a very successful year at DGF Middle/High School as we continue to provide our students a world-class education.

As Rota’s newly appointed school liaison officer (SLO), I consider it an honor and privilege to work with the educational community surrounding this installation. As a former military dependent child, I have a personal connection in advocating for military children. With my professional experience, knowledge of Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools and Child Youth Program poli-cies and procedures, as well as my partnership with Local Educa-tion Agencies, I feel well prepared, passionate and excited for the journey ahead.

The SLO serves as the liaison between the installation com-mander, military agencies and schools by providing assistance in matters pertaining to student education. I am responsible for pro-viding guidance and information to families who attend our DoDEA Elementary, Middle/High School, homeschool, and Spanish schools. I also represent our Child Youth Programs: the Child Development Center, School Age Center, Youth Center and Youth Sports. My goal is to level the playing field for military children by ensuring maximum educational opportunities for academic success.

I provide education, workshops, and resources for school transition services (PSCing in/out), post-secondary preparation opportunities (preparing for graduation and beyond), homeschool support, and navigating the Spanish school system. I develop solutions in partnerships with schools, educational agencies and families to overcome barriers with deployments, youth sponsorship and special education.

I am here to make sure you are able to make the best informed decisions in regards to your child’s education. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.

Maria Herrera KhanTeam Rota in the Spotlight

Serving as the commanding officer (CO) of Naval Station Rota can be a tax-ing job, but there’s a woman behind the scenes who helps makes the workload a little lighter through coordination and planning.

A native of New York City, Maria Herrera Khan has been working as the executive assistant to the CO for more than two years inside Building 1 on base. She takes care of his schedule and ensures he makes it to events on time. Additionally, she is responsible for scheduling any events that take place inside the main conference room.

“I love my job,” said Khan. “I like the interaction with all of the department heads and I like having to fix things on the schedule.”

Besides working as the CO’s execu-tive assistant, she also serves as the executive assistant to the executive officer (XO) and command master chief (CMC). Despite the heavy workload, she works well with the challenges.

“Everybody wants his [the CO’s] time, however, he is more productive if his time is scheduled effectively and, that's my job,” said Khan who deals with an average of 25 people a day and ensures the CO is able to fit the right amount of people into his schedule on a daily basis. “You have to be innova-tive, creative, and very flexible. Have tough skin. You just have to be his gate guard, per se.”

Khan who is also a military spouse and mother of two, attributes her job performance to ideals passed down from her parents.

“I think because of my upbringing and my parents teaching me about respect that helps me do a more ef-fective job,” said Khan. “I provide good customer service and I’m very respectful toward others, and I always offer a smile which I think is always important.”

Khan and her family are departing Rota and relocating to Pensacola, Florida where she plans to pursue her doctorate in clinical psychology.

lumps or an ulcer that may give the appearance of a small volcano forming on the skin. While the cutaneous form develops either weeks or months after the bite of an infected sand fly, visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal form of the disease and may go unnoticed.

Visceral leishmaniasis affects the internal organs, including the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. Mortality rates from visceral leishmaniasis may reach 95 percent in untreated cases with most complications arising from delayed diagnosis. Symptoms of visceral leishmaniasis in humans include fever, chills, weight loss, anemia, and swelling of the spleen and liver. Although the incidence of human leishmaniasis in Spain is low, the potential to receive an infected sand fly bite is high in certain areas of Spain where outbreaks have occurred, and during the month of August as it is the peak time for sand fly activity.

Because of the role animals play in the spread the disease to humans, leishmaniasis is a disease of inter-national importance. Outdoor pets live closer to sand flies, thus receiving more bites and increasing their risk of becoming infected. Several animals including rabbits, can serve as a reservoir; however, dogs are considered the primary reservoir for human leishmaniasis. Based on serologic (study of blood) surveys, it is estimated that almost 35 percent of canines may be infected with the parasite in southern Spain. While veterinarians in this region of Spain are well educated about the signs and symptoms of canine leishmaniasis, and may diagnose an average of eight cases a year, it is important that you protect your pets before they become infected. Animals infected with leishmaniasis cannot be imported back into the United States. This sad reality is due to the fact that infected animals play a role in the spread of this deadly disease and no medical treatment provides a permanent cure. The most common symptoms of

canine leishmaniasis are skin lesions that may include hair loss and skin inflammation. Other symptoms include weight loss, nose bleeds, inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye and other ocular signs, muscle loss, swollen limbs and joints, lameness, swollen lymph nodes, arthritis, anemia, and loss of kidney function.

So how do you protect yourself and your pet from these organisms? Avoid being bitten. Screens on windows may still allow these small insects to enter the home. Although screens may be treated with insecticide, closing the windows and using air conditioning at night may be more protective. Avoid activity outdoors during peak sand fly activity, which is from dusk to dawn. Sand flies are not generally active during the daytime, although they may bite when disturbed.

If active outdoors, wear clothing that is protective against bites, and insect repellent on exposed skin. No active ingredient on the market has yet to sur-pass that of DEET. If you are interested in alternative insect repellents, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains a current list of repellents that have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness. Keep in mind that a repellent has to be effective in order to pro-tect against bites from mosquitoes, sand flies and ticks, not all repellents are effective against all three of these major disease vectors. A handy tool is found on the EPA website that allows users to select repellents based on the length of exposure and protection against either mosquitoes or ticks (http://cfpub.epa.gov/oppref/insect/index.cfm#searchform). While all repellents can have varying effectiveness as a repellent against mosquitoes, not all repellents are effective against ticks. Why is this important? Because ticks in Europe carry many of the

bacteria that cause disease in the United States - Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis, to name a few.

Be sure to keep your pets safe as well. Outdoor pets are far more likely to become infected, but all pets need protection. Ask your veterinarian which products are best for your pet and their lifestyle. The best repellent products for protection against sand flies are also those that are effective against ticks. Some veterinarians rec-ommend applying the repellent every three weeks vice monthly during sand fly season. In addition, pet owners should also continue to administer monthly heartworm preventative to pets to help keep them healthy year round. Heartworm medication protects against heart-worms and intestinal parasites while repellent products, depending on the type, prevent bites from mosquitoes, sand flies, ticks, and fleas. If you suspect your dog may be infected with the leishmania parasite seek veterinary care immediately.

are reviewed to ensure they are complete and then sent to a central screening committee (CSC) for a category recom-mendation. The Navy currently has three screening committees located at Naval Medical Center (NMC) Portsmouth, NMC San Diego and U.S. Naval Hos-pital Yokosuka. Once the (PERS-456) get the CSC's review, a final category is assigned and that information is made available for the detailers," said Dennis. "The enrollment process is much faster now that we are using the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS). There are also automated notifications to the sponsors and the units to inform about enrollment and any category assignment and changes. The system even sends notifications to Sailors who need to update their EFMP status."

"The challenges that we as detailers have, is finding a billet that meets the category for the member," said Aviation Boatswain's Mate Handling (ABH) 1st Class Ronnie Hubbard, an ABH detailer.

When it was time for the Harris' to move, one big concern was what the quality of the care was going to be for Tristan at their new duty station.

"We've been so lucky when it comes to health care," said Harris.

Harris said when he was in San Diego, the military hospital did not have the type

of doctors and surgeons that Tristan needed, so the doctors referred him to Rady Children's Hospital.

"We were at a children's hospital, which was an amazing, beautiful facil-ity and that's where his surgeries and recoveries were and he got really amaz-ing care there," said Harris. "When we came here we found out that they actually have pediatric nephrologists at Bethesda at Walter Reed, and I was very anxious about that. I did not think that we were going to get the same level of care through the military medical center but it is amazing. It is absolutely amazing. The team of doctors they have there are so great and so attentive."

"Enrollment is mandatory to support the detailing process," said Dennis. "The primary goal is focused on the family member to ensure their medical and educational needs are met."

The process does not end once a Sailor enrolls their family member in EFMP. Continued attention and follow-up is required.

Once enrolled, everyone is assigned a case manager who is there to assist the sponsors and families with information about services and programs in the area. All enrolled need to get reevaluated every three years or twelve months prior to the next PCS. The case managers or local EFMP coordinators can assist the family with the reevaluation process.

"It's intimidating when you look at the paperwork that you have to do to enroll in

EFMP and I think a lot of Sailors are not enrolling their family members in EFMP, but it is worth it because if anything should happen and they try to put in for something like a home tour, it's harder to substantiate their family's needs if they haven't already done that groundwork," said Harris.

"First and foremost, sponsors and family members need to get in contact with their local EFMP coordinator when they have been recommended for enroll-ment," said Dennis. "We have EFMP coordinators and liaisons at the fleet and family support centers and all naval medi-

cal treatment facilities. These folks know the program and they are there to help the sponsor and family members com-plete the enrollment paperwork. All units should assign an EFMP point of contact that can direct the service member to their local EFMP coordinator. The EFMP point of contact is usually someone in medical or it could be a career counselor or the command master chief."

For the Harris family, they understand that with their EFMP category the dream orders overseas are unlikely, but they are getting closer to their wish for a healthy child.

1. Purchase long-lasting, durable items rather than disposable ones.

2. Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries.

3. Start a compost pile. 4. When feasible, buy the econ-

omy size of products. You will likely save money, and it will reduce the number of containers being thrown away.

5. Buy products that have the smallest amount of packaging material.
