WASHINGTON - Presence remains the mandate of the Navy and the service must operate forward "when and where it matters," the chief naval officer testified before the Senate Armed Services Com-mittee here, Jan. 29.

However, sequestration in 2013 not only whittled the Navy's contingency response force to one third, but forced re-ductions in afloat and ashore operations, generated ship and aircraft maintenance backlogs, and compelled the Navy to extend unit deployments, Adm. Jonathan Greenert said.

"Sequestration resulted in a $9 billion shortfall in 2013, below our budget sub-mission ... degraded fleet readiness and created consequences from which we are

still recovering," the admiral said.Long DeploymentsGreenert also described carrier strike

groups, amphibious-ready groups, and destroyers experiencing eight- to 10-month, or longer, deployments. "This comes at a cost of our Sailors' and our families' resiliency; it reduces the perfor-mance of the equipment and it will reduce the service lives of our ships," he said.

The Navy's fleet readiness likely will not recover from the ship and aircraft maintenance backlogs until about 2018, five years after the first round of seques-tration, according to Greenert.

"We reduced procurement of advanced weapons and aircraft, [and] we delayed upgrades to all but the most critical shore infrastructure," the admiral said. "The end result has been higher risk [to] those

missions requiring us to deter and defeat aggression and ... project power despite an anti-access, area-denial challenge."

Forward Presence Provides ValueStill, recent events speak to the value

of forward presence, Greenert asserts."When tasked in August, the George

H.W. Bush Strike Group relocated from the Arabian Sea to the North Arabian Gulf and was on station within 30 hours, ready for combat operations in Iraq and Syria," Greenert said.

Additionally, Navy and Marine Corps strike fighters from the carrier generated 20 to 30 combat sorties per day and for 54 days represented the only coalition strike option to project power against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the admiral said.

Greenert highlighted the USS Truxtun

(DDG 103), which arrived in the Black Sea to establish a U.S. presence and reassure allies within a week after Russia invaded Crimea. He recounted the George Wash-ington Strike Group's dozen ships that provided disaster relief to the Philippines in the wake of super typhoon Haiyan just over a year ago.

Overall, he said, a return to seques-tration further delays critical warfighting capabilities, further reduces contingency response force readiness, and jeopar-dizes ship and submarine procurement.

"Unless naval forces are properly sized, modernized at the right pace ... ready to deploy ... and capable to re-spond in the numbers and at the speed required by the combatant commanders, they won't be able to answer the call," Greenert said.

Greenert Explains Value of Presence, Danger of Cuts

Shorter racks, an enclosed outdoor seating area, queuing lines at the Mini-Mart and an ex-panded barbershop and beauty salon are just some of the many changes scheduled to be done at Rota’s Navy Exchange (NEX) by April.

The entire front half of Rota’s NEX will change as a result of construction that began in early January as part of overall change, which involves more than just moving the dry clean-ing services and putting up new pictures; it’s going to look very different in places.

In mid-January the laundry

and dry cleaning services moved to a portion of the flower shop and became operational almost immediately. The first move sparked a domino of changes; the second part involves knock-ing down a wall and expanding the beauty salon and barber-shop.

“What we needed to do was increase the size of the beauty shop. The beauty [salon] will expand into the old barbershop … four pedicure stations, four manicure, two massage, five [salon] chairs … it’s about a 40 percent increase in the size of the shop,” said NEX General Manager, Rick Nelson.

Once finished, customers will enter the barber and beauty shop through its new entrance, where the dry cleaners used to be.

Mini-MartChanges to the Mini-Mart will

be the most dramatic in appear-ance. They’re not eliminating their offerings, but instead mov-ing shelves, adding a formal line, and moving greeting cards to a different area.

The aisles will all change di-rection and will be perpendicular to the cold shelves, or facing the same direction the food shelves are currently.

“What will happen is one night

or two nights you’ll come in and we’ll flip them. The big change is … where the registers are,” said Nelson. “We’re going to put them where [the cards are], there will be eight cash registers and a formal queuing line.”

Cards and school supplies will relocate to where books and magazines are currently, with a decrease in the book and maga-zine availability.

“For books and magazines, it will probably be a 60 percent decrease. There is a lot that doesn’t sell here,” said Nelson.

In addition to moving the cards and school supplies, one of the ID checkpoints will also shift. Currently located between the books and magazine and the electronics section, the new checkpoint will be at the double-doors between the photo studio and new car sales.

The seating area for Subway and the café will also receive more space.

“By enclosing this [outside] that gives us an extra 30 seats. Once it’s enclosed, like the side-walk cafes out in town, we’re going to have infrared heaters on top,” said Nelson. With roll-up walls and infrared heaters, Nelson hopes people will be comfortable year-round.

Customer Service, JewelryThe jewelry section is also

getting a face lift and move. Nel-son said with most of the traffic coming through the electronics area, not as many people stop by to see the jewelry section so they’re moving it to where men’s jeans are currently located. They will also be combining watches and sunglasses into the jewelry area, making it all in one stop.

“Customer service is moving from the back to where jewelry is,” said Nelson. “Euro sales, returns, all that, if you’re returning that … you don’t have to walk all through the store. We’re moving a few other departments around here but nothing major.”

They’ll be moving some of the

Hola Team Rota! The month of January went in the blink of an eye and February is already here. There is one topic that I want to discuss this week and it surrounds base security.

Just recently and due to the terror-ist attack in Paris and the disrupted plots in Belgium, Germany and France, U.S. Europe Command has directed that all military installations with American personnel implement increased force protection (FP) measures and random security en-hancements around base. These measures are meant to maintain our focus on overseas security that will guarantee the safety of our people and those assets that allow us to perform our duties.

And who enforces our FP mea-sures and provide the security needed? It is our Security Department, which consists of 80-plus master-at-arms (MAs), both enlisted and officers. They perform multiple duties (such as patrolling the harbor, fence line perimeter inspections, dispatcher duty (911 and alarm calls), car patrols around the base, random ID checks, commercial truck and vehicle inspections, gate guards) while working together with their counterparts, the Spanish Marine Corps, to ensure the protection of both American and Spanish personnel (active duty, civilians, and contractors alike) as well as our critical infrastructure here on base.

What do these additional FP measures mean for the American and Spanish communities? It can mean more inspections of cars entering the installation, random bag and military identification checks, and increased security patrols. This has already trans-lated into longer lines and wait times for base access (e.g. cars, base passes, and foot traffic). Due to the longer wait times, it is recommended that you give yourself extra time to get to work or drop off/pick-up the kids at school or any extracurricular activity on base.

I ask everyone to exercise patience as we put into effect these extra FP measures. It is a small price to pay for providing the safe environment we all enjoy and deserve overseas. Also, and most importantly, please demonstrate patience with both the Spanish and our own security departments who are doing their best to protect you and this base. Treat them with the respect and courtesy they deserve for they are doing their job to keep you and NAVSTA Rota safe and secure. I personally want to thank our MAs for being the professionals they are and for the security blanket they provide us everyday!

Lastly - I want to stress that there isn’t any direct threat aimed at NAVSTA Rota, but we must always remain vigilant, review our security rules and regulations, and become less predictable in our day-to-day routines. Each and every person (military, GS employee, contractor, dependent) has their part to play to ensure the security of this base, our home away from home. If you see something suspicious or “not quite right,” then you should report it. Security is EVERYONE’S responsibility! Thank you Team Rota, and have a great week!

1. When cooking in your oven, watch the clock or use a timer; don’t continually open the oven door to check food. Every time you open the door heat escapes and your cooking uses more en-ergy.

2. Use small electric pans or ovens for cooking small meals rather than the kitchen range or oven as they use less energy.

3. Use pressure cookers and microwave ovens to do your cooking if you have them. They can save energy by reducing cooking time.

departments around, expanding the furniture section, creating a “seasonal” section with seasonal décor, and making shorter racks, “so you’ll be able to look … all the way to the back walls,” said Nelson.

“We’re on a tight schedule because not only are they doing this, we’re doing a floor to ceiling remodel on our store in Morón. We already did some of it in December,” said Nelson. “They’ll do the barber/beauty part, go finish Morón, and then because we’ve got inventory coming

up here, they’ll do Morón while we’re doing inventory here, they’ll come back and do the store part, and the Mini-Mart and this will be done by April.”

LaundromatsIn December, the NEX opened a new Laundromat

at the Fleet Recreation Center located near the piers. Open 8:30 a.m. to midnight, this facility is manned by an active duty Sailor due to a delay in a sensor part, said Nelson.

“As soon as the gas sensor and alarm transmitter are in, it will be 24/7/365 just like the other one. And it’s all new equipment,” he said.

Nelson also said they plan to expand the Laundromat near the front gate, with the expansion scheduled to be done by the end of February.

“Part of it had been blocked off when the base population downsized. We’re increasing the washer/dryer capacity by about 40 percent at that one,” he said. “The part that was blocked off, we’re totally remodeling it floor to ceiling, with all new machines. The Laundromat capacity on the base will increase by over 100 percent by the end of February.”

The changes coming to the NEX are designed with the customers in mind, said Nelson.

WASHINGTON - Hardship Duty Pay-Tempo (HDP-T) eligible Sail-ors have received $4.2 million in their paycheck as of Jan. 28, ac-cording to Navy officials.

More than 5,500 Sailors from the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and Bataan Amphibi-ous Ready Group (ARG) received the HDP-T pay in their December and January paychecks.

The Sailors received HDP-T at $16.50 daily, and did not exceed the $495 monthly maximum when they were operationally deployed beyond 220 consecutive days.

The Sailors that received the money are part of the aircraft car-rier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 22, the guided-missile cruiser USS

Philippine Sea (CG 58), and the guided-missile destroyers USS Truxtun (DDG 103), and USS Roosevelt (DDG 80).

The Bataan group was com-prised of the multipurpose amphibi-ous assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), the amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19), and the amphibious dock landing ship USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44).

Sailors who left on deployment with Bataan were the first to benefit from HDP-T.

"I think it's important that the younger Sailors who experience a long and arduous deployment for the first time understand that the Navy recognizes their hard-work, and is prepared to offer monetary reward for it," said Intelligence Specialist 1st Class Charles Kirby, a Bataan Sailor.

Bataan returned to her home-port in Norfolk Oct. 31, 2014 and George H.W. Bush returned to her homeport Nov. 15, 2014.

A Bush Sailor added how he ap-preciated the extra money for all his extra time and work he spent away from home.

"It was a nice added bonus for me giving my time, sweat and effort for the government," said Informa-tion Technician 1st Class Gregory Thomas. "It feels like the govern-ment's looking out for us."

HDP-T, took effect Sept. 17, 2014 and Sailors and Marines will receive the pay on a monthly basis. Reservists serving in individual augmentee assignments that meet the 220-day threshold will receive their pay upon completion of their mobilization. The DoD has autho-rized HDP-T for two years.

Feb. 23 through 28 is 2015 Military Saves Week. Part of the Department of Defense Financial Readiness Campaign, this is a chance for service members and their families to assess their own savings status and take financial action.

Studies show that having a savings plan with specific goals can have beneficial financial effects, regardless of income level. The 2015 Military Saves Week theme, “Build Your Savings Arsenal,” encourages individuals to do just that. This Military Saves Week joins over 158,000 people who have pledged to save by taking the Military Saves Pledge. Already taken the pledge? Mili-tary Saves encourages you to recommit to your savings goals and re-pledge today.

When savers take the Military Saves Pledge they can receive:

- Free subscription to the monthly Military Saves e-News-letter.

- Free myFICO credit score for service members and their spouses, courtesy of FINRA Investor Education Foundation.

- Quarterly e-newsletters from America Saves.

Savers can also get tips by following Military Saves on Face-book and Twitter and by reading the Military Saves blog. Encour-age people to go viral with their

savings goals. Take a picture and post it on Facebook and tag @MilitarySaves.

On Feb. 27, the last weekday of Military Saves Week 2015, Rota Morale, Welfare and Rec-reation (MWR) and Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) will host “Financial Jeopardy” for single and unaccompanied service members. Participants will visit different locations around the base and answer a variety of financially-relevant questions for points.

Questions are worth two, four, six, eight and 10 points each, the more difficult the questions the more points potentially ac-crued. The event will begin at 9 a.m. at the Liberty Center where participants will sign up on the Saves and Invest Web page, take the pledge and choose their first question. Participants will then proceed to the other locations to receive other savings-related ser-vices and additional questions.

Each participant has three attempts to answer at least one question at each location; if ques-tions are answered correctly on all three attempts, all the better. When participants have visited all locations they may return to Liberty to have their points tal-lied - the top three highest point totals win prizes provided by Rota MWR. Financial Jeopardy is not an athletic or a timed event; participants may take as much

time as they need to complete it and visit the stops in any order as long as they return to the Liberty Center no later than 1 p.m. to tally their points.

Carnival is a popular celebration throughout the King-dom of Spain with Carnaval de Tenerife in the Canary Islands and Carnaval de Cadiz the best-known and popular among all.

Carnival dates back to Roman and Greek times; how-ever, the one in Cadiz dates back to the 16th century.

The celebration of carnival is typically during the month of February, depending on when Easters occurs, and in many places and for many people, they wait all year in anticipation for carnival.

In the beginning, the carnival of Cadiz took many ideas from Italian carnival, specifically the one from Genova and Florence. With time it has changed and now is totally different; the costumes, music and songs are not the same.

Talking about Cadiz, carnival is the real party of the people where the whole town participates. Cadiz lives for the carnival along a happy and crazy week, full of different events and where everyone is welcome. Car-nival takes place in the downtown area, making a great opportunity to visit the different districts of the oldest city in Spain and to enjoy the many bars of the area where you can grab some delicious tapas.

Carnival offers a time for everything including food, dancing, parades, and music. Listen to “las coplas,” which are different types groups performing music. The groups, “chirigotas” (group of approximately 25 mem-bers), “coros” (the largest group with approximately 60 members) and “comparsas”(groups of approximately 15-20 singers and players), can be found in the many squares, parks, and streets of the downtown.

The two most important parts of the carnival in Cadiz are the singing competition where thousands participate, and the big parade through the town featuring elaborate costumes.

Costumes break the social order, confront social classes, and break the repressions from previous carni-val prohibitions. Each one is free to express their ideas, regardless of their social status, so it’s not uncommon

to find some well-known people in drastically different attire during carnival.

Carnival is celebrated in all cities and towns through-out the province making it a great tourist attraction.

Also, the celebration of carnival is very well-known and popular in Rota and Chipiona and everyone is invited to participate in an extensive program of activities, where the “pasacalles” (singing contest and groups) and the parade are of a high interest.

Carnival precedes one of the most important celebra-tions in Andalucia, Holy Week, which takes place this year it will be March 29 to April 5.

Carnival is a Spanish cultural tradition you should not miss.

Imagine what you’ll be doing 50 years from today. Can you imagine doing the same job you’re currently doing? What about living down the street from the house you grew up in? How about working for the Navy? That’s exactly how many years it’s been since Rick Nelson, Rota’s Navy Exchange general manager, began working for the government. With a one-day interruption between active duty and civilian life, Nelson has dedicated the last 50 years to the U.S. Navy.

On Jan. 29, 1965, a then 17-year-old Nelson brought a slip bearing parental permission and was sworn in at the Navy Recruiting Office on Atlantic Avenue in Boston. The advice from his father: 'I’ll kick your butt if you join the Army," Nelson says with a laugh.

At 10-degrees below zero, Nelson boarded his "very first airplane flight from Boston to Chicago" to attend boot camp in Great Lakes, Illinois.

"Got there at about 11 o’clock at night. It was cold ... they used to wake us up between 2 and 3 in the morning if it started to snow to shovel snow," he recalls.

After completing boot camp in Great Lakes he transferred to Barber’s Point, Hawaii as an undesignated seaman recruit before he found his calling: supply.

"I got to Hawaii and I interviewed [with the master chief] at the Disbursing Office that used to do military pay, and he said, 'I’ll take you,'" Nelson said.

As a seaman recruit at the time he made $82 a month. "Basic pay for a recruit was $78 a month and it jumped to $82 when you left boot camp. That was in September ‘65 and 25 months later I was a second class."

In December 1966 he selected his designator as a disbursing clerk, which later merged and became today’s personnel specialists. In August 1967, however, Nelson said he was "a little bored after a couple of years in Hawaii" and had the choice to volunteer for Operation Deep Freeze - the United States’ mission in Antarctica

- or Vietnam. After remembering the 10-degrees below zero temperature in Boston, Nelson opted for Vietnam.

"[I] didn’t tell my folks … went on leave in December ‘67 and in January ‘68 I was on a World War II tank landing ship in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam for a year,” he said. "April of ‘68, the ship got hit in the middle of the night with a 122-millimeter Chinese rocket, two compartments below where I was sleeping. That was my wake-up call and I did everything I was trained to do. My general quarters station was a 52-caliber machine

gun. I survived that."From Vietnam to Norfolk, Virginia, Nelson met his wife of nearly 43 years, Barbara.

"[She] was working in a hospital in Bos-ton and my best friend was working as an orderly in that hospital while he went to college. He said 'hey, I got a friend in the Navy in Norfolk and I want to send him your address.' Met her a couple months later, two months after that proposed to her, went on a Mediterranean deploy-ment and the following year, 1972, we got married. She’s kept me ever since.:

In 1976 he passed the chief’s exam to apply for the Limited Duty Officer pro-

gram. He went through chief’s initiation (today’s CPO 365 phase III) in January

1977, and three months later he was an ensign in the Supply Corps. On Sept. 1, 1996,

while working as the military Navy Exchange gen-eral manager in Norfolk, Nelson retired from active duty after 31 years.

"Back in those days, Navy Supply Corps officers used to run Navy Exchanges, we didn’t have general manag-ers. But about six to eight months before I retired the Department of Defense told the Navy … 'you need to convert them to civilian billets.'"

Nelson recalls receiving the phone call from the hu-man resources office in Norfolk regarding his continued work with the Navy.

"I retired, went home, went jogging with my son, got back and the human resources office called and said, 'come in on Tuesday,' Monday was Labor Day. Talked to them on Tuesday and on Wednesday I went to work in a suit doing the same thing at the Navy Exchange in Norfolk, because they needed to get civilians to run it," he said.

From Norfolk he went to Pensacola, Florida for 12 years before moving to Rota in September 2009.

"It’s been a whirlwind. In one nine-year period we went from Brunswick, Maine to Naval Station Guam where I was a supply officer, from there to a frigate homeported in Yokosuka, Japan where I was a supply officer and then from there to Key West, Florida where I was the comptroller to [Naval Support Activity] Naples, Italy where I was the assistant supply officer. All that in a nine-year period. Because back then you didn’t get to homestead in a Norfolk or San Diego."

While it may not seem like one day past a decade, Nelson said he would do it all over again.

"It’s been a blast and we’re still having fun," he said.

We Are Not Helpless, All Hope is Not LostWhen most of us think of the ocean today, we think

of brilliant, blue waters lapping up on a well-groomed, sandy beach. We think of sunshine, warmth on our skin, and a peaceful rest while reclining with a cold drink in hand. The melodic and rhythmic crashing of waves lulls us into dreams of bliss. The background

noise of children squeal-ing with delight as they flee the waves and cre-ate masterpieces in the sand from an unbounded imagination sets the am-bience as families and friends use the ocean as a means to connect with one another and to enjoy life. This is what most of us imagine when

the word “ocean” pops up in conversation today, especially in Rota.

But it wasn’t always this way.In ancient times, the ocean was a deep, dark, and

mysterious place full of sea monsters and beasts unknown. It was dangerous with unparalleled power, a power to destroy and inflict human loss. No hu-man could harness or withstand the mighty deep. It was solely the job of the gods to keep her at bay, to ensure that the boundaries of her darkness remained in place along the shores. The early humans feared her anger.

Last night, she was angry. Very angry.She effortlessly and violently tossed USS Donald

Cook (DDG 75) back and forth for hours on end like we were a tiny rodent in the mouth of a psychotic terrier. Loud crashes all around launched us out of

our racks in the middle of the dark night to assess and repair the damage. Within minutes the nausea struck and I was immediately covered in a thick layer of cold sweat. I wanted to vomit over and over again. I wanted to escape her grip, but there was nowhere to go and no way out.

Though we no longer believe in the ancient myths about the ocean, she still has a way of making us feel helpless when stuck in her mighty grasp.

Feeling helpless is the worst, especially in terms of military service, and especially when it comes to family and friends who are suffering half a world away. I hear it a lot. Whether it’s a family financial struggle, a dying grandparent, a breaking or broken marriage, or (insert your own personal pain and suffering here), feeling helpless due to mission-focus, deployment, and separation is a major struggle and the source of a lot of shame, hurt, and regret.

Though we may often feel helpless in our military lifestyle, we are, in fact, far from it.

I have an aunt who practically raised me through my dark, early years. I love her deeply as a mother and I owe her my life. She’s turning 79 this year, and her quality of life is rapidly deteriorating. She has had a few strokes and is suffering from dementia and loss of memory. She has had cancerous tissue removed and has undergone radiation treatment. She suffers through the aches and pains that decades of living inflict on the human body. And most of her life, day after day, is now spent alone in an apartment building half a world away.

I feel helpless.I have chosen not to be there for her because of

my profession, and the pain is sometimes too much to bear. The shame of not being there for her when

she was always there for me. The regret of missed opportunities. The hurt of hearing of her suffering and not being physically present to apply a healing salve.

I feel helpless, but I refuse to believe the lie that I am helpless. We are not helpless.

I began to see, experience, and realize that there is indeed great and helpful power in the “little” things - gestures, words, phone calls, shared memories, pride in serving our country, little gifts that invoke passions and fond stories, and cardboard boxes. Yes, cardboard boxes.

I sent my aunt flowers back in September. As of December, the empty, cardboard box from the flowers was still sitting in the living room of her apartment. My biological mother tried to get rid of it on several occasions when she goes over to clean, but my aunt gets fired up and tells her: “No! You will not throw that away! Robbie sent me those flowers from overseas.”

I was shocked. A cardboard box? Yet, it had taken on deep and symbolic meaning for her. It reminded her that she was not alone and that she was loved, even if the physical focus of that love was based in Rota, Spain. It was as if the cardboard box had relocated that center and had physically transported love, comfort, and companionship.

Sometimes we believe the lie that we’re only truly helpful if we’re there to do the “big” things, but in the military lifestyle, the “little” things do, in fact, become big things to both us and our loved ones. The power of our words and gestures to bring life, hope, support, and companionship to our loved ones from a distance far exceeds what we normally imagine. We must believe in our power to be helpful from afar.

Though the ocean has us and sometimes tosses us about, we are not helpless and all hope is not lost.

Consistent physical activity can help you stay Healthy for Life! Many benefits associated with exercise and physical activity include: weight management, reduced risk for heart disease, hypertension and diabetes as well as stress management. Reg-ular exercise, such as brisk walking, can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Current research indicates that participating in 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity can improve overall health and maintain weight.

Sustained cardiovascular exer-cise is especially important to aid in weight loss. Brisk walking, running, bicycling, jumping rope, and swim-ming are some examples of cardio exercise. Overweight and obesity occur when fewer calories are burned than are taken in through food and beverages. Many people need to do more than 300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week to meet weight loss goals. For those who want to lose 5 to 10 percent of body

weight or are actively maintaining weight loss need a higher amount of physical activity, in addition to reduced calorie intake.

Children and adolescents should participate in regular physical activity also. Kids should be moderately ac-tive at least 60 minutes a day. They should participate in activities they enjoy such as team sports, skate-boarding, or riding a bike. Consistent physical activity in addition to healthy food choices can help children main-tain a healthy body weight.

Being active as a family is a great way to spend time together while promoting good health. Fun family activities include hiking, playing on the beach, bike riding, throwing ball, shooting baskets or even house cleaning! Be active and be Healthy for Life!

The grounds of the Keukenhof Tulip Festival in Holland display all the magnifi-cence surrounding the majestic tulip; like a crayon box exploded. Like an ornate box from a distant land, the tulips rise to the sky with brilliant splendor. A land booming with color - so much so that it can be overwhelming - and a place where millions of people flock to for two months out of the year. It’s a place that should be on your bucket list, and a place that if you’ve already visited, it’s worth seeing twice.

Keukenhof , which means ‘kitchen court-yard’ in Dutch, was orig-inally part of the Teylin-gen Castle grounds in the 15th century. In the late 1800s, two landscape architects transformed the grounds into gardens, which is the basis for the park today. In 1949, the Mayor of Lisse worked with local bulb growers to host the first flower exhibi-tion. Since then, an estimated 50 million visitors every year from around the world flock to the gardens to see rows upon rows of bright-colored tulips.

Each year, Rota Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) coordinates a trip to Amsterdam and the Tulip Festival, but it’s a great place to visit even if the MWR trip doesn’t work with your timeline. This 79-acre (32-hector) park is a wonderland of colors and things to do. Whether you want to linger in the Japanese garden, get your name burned onto wooden clogs, scarf down delicious waffles (just like the ones in Belgium) or shop for wooden tulips, this is a place where four hours can pass by in a flash. With 7 million bulbs and more than 1,600 different variety of flowers, it’s a flower overload!

Spending a majority of the day in the

park is easy to do with acres of gardens, a windmill, atriums with flower displays and demonstrations, shops, cafes, and trails. In addition to wandering through the park, the park offers a whisper boat tour that takes you on a small boat out-side the park grounds into the tulip fields where you can also take a great photo of the windmill and tulip grounds - postcard worthy!

You shouldn't see Keukenhof without a visit to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a feast

for the eyes as much as it is for the palate. With delicious res-

taurants nestled along the narrow streets, there is no shortage of food op-tions. While seafood or a falafel may be what's on the menu options for

the day, a trip to the city is not complete without a

pancake. Toss aside the American

ideas of a pancake featuring fluffy but-termilk flapjacks slathered in syrup and instead embrace the Dutch pancake. Thin, almost crepe-like pancakes that can either be savory or sweet. Going with a savory option is ideal when selecting this dish for lunch or dinner. Get it cooked with roasted vegetables and topped with meat, or drizzled with delectable sauces. Or perhaps you're looking for a sweet treat with a tea or coffee to give you the sustenance you need to traverse the rest of the city. Try a light pancake with fresh berries and whipped cream. Want something a little more bite-sized? Try the poffertjes, small pancake balls dusted with powdered sugar. Visitors who have been to Solvang, California will recognize these as "ebelskivers," as they are known there, and delight in the taste.

Once your palate has been satisfied, walk the sidewalks paralleling the many canals that line the city. Stroll along the

canal before making a stop at the Anne Frank House (Anne Frank Huis) for a sobering exhibit into this young woman's life. Or head toward the main train station but stop at the royal palace, which is still in use today. Admire the great hall, fea-turing dazzling chandeliers and a replica of mercury holding a globe. See rooms that are visited by thousands of people every year. Stop by the church next door and see where Queen Beatrix abdicated

the throne to her son, Willem-Alexander, in 2013 (just before one of Rota MWR's trips). Have your picture taken with wax celebrities at a world-famous wax museum. Visit one of the many amazing museums including a science center, nautical museum, art museums, and even see a Van Gogh painting in person. If a museum is not your taste, visit one of the many walking streets with street side vendors, or simply stroll through the grandeur that is Amsterdam. With so many sights to see, there is something for everyone.

Make Amsterdam and Keukenhof one of the places to visit in 2015.Visiting Keukenhof

The grounds are located approximately 30 minutes from Amsterdam and 20 minutes from the main airport. There are buses leaving Am-sterdam on a continuous basis during the tulip season, and can easily be booked in advanced.

The 79-acre park includes a 15-kilometer foot-path. Not only can you wander through the park but you can rent a bicycle to ride on the grounds surrounding the park - no bicycles are allowed in the park. Want to instantly share photos but don’t have a data plan? Don’t worry, free Wi-Fi is available across the park.

The park is open March 20 to May 17 and is open daily 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., including Sundays and local holidays.

Prices:- Adults (including seniors) €16; Children (4-11

years) €8; Children (0-3 years) Free- Park Guide €5; Parking €6Buy your tickets in advance by visiting

Check out their Facebook page for regular updates and photos of the park: https://www.facebook.com/visitkeukenhof. How to get there

There are several ways to get there. Visitors can arrive in one of the plethora of tour buses leaving regularly from nearby Amsterdam. If you want to avoid cramming onto a bus with dozens of other tourists, you can take a taxi or rent a vehicle and drive. It’s a scenic drive through Holland where you’re guaranteed to pass rows of tulips and quaint houses. The GPS coordinates are 52°16'12.7"N 4°32'47.1"E. The address is:

Antonio Garcia LaynezTeam Rota in the Spotlight

When a the rowing machine breaks or a treadmill begins to act funky, a Spanish civilian pulls out his bag of tools and gets to work fixing the machines. This man works behind the scenes to keep the gym functioning efficiently so service members can maintain good health and stay fit.

A native of Rota, Spain, Anto-nio Garcia Laynez works as the fitness center facility manager at the gym on base and has been working there for the last 26 years. Before his current posi-tion, he started out as a recre-ational aide at the front desk and worked his way up over the years.

Prior to working at the gym, he worked as a mathematics teacher, but this forced him to travel far away from Rota. Garcia Laynez considers Rota his life, so he decided to start working

on base so he could stay close to his family and his farm.

Garcia Laynez ensures ev-erything is working efficiently at the gym, anything belonging to Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Athletics such as the pool and sports field, and even U.S. ships in port. This job includes frequent safety and fire inspec-tions, putting in work orders for parts, and working in tandem with service members to get cer-tain jobs done. He didn’t always possess the skills to fix things, he said, he received on the job training and developed the know-how over time.

“I like my job,” said Garcia Laynez. “I have a lot of fun. I en-joy it because most of the days I don’t do what I planned the day before. Everyday is different.”

Garcia Laynez plans to con-tinue working at the gym until he can retire at 65.
