Rich Dromerhauser, center, commodore, Destroyer Squadron 60, was the presiding officer for the ceremony.

Cmdr. Andria Slough relieved Cmdr. Blair Guy as the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Porter (DDG 78) commanding officer during a change of command ceremony in Rota, Spain Jan. 28.

Porter is forward-deployed to Naval Station Rota to fulfill the United States’ phased commitment to NATO ballistic missile defense while also carrying out a wide range of missions to support the security of Europe.

“Commander Guy has made the crew of this ship ready and their qualifications show it,” Capt. Rich Dromerhauser, commodore, Destroyer Squadron 60; guest speaker for the ceremony. “You’ve done a fantastic job and this ship will sail, fight and win because of your excellence.”

Between February 2013 to January 2016, Guy served as the executive officer and then as commanding officer. During his 35-month tenure with USS Porter, he was the driving force behind everything from system upgrades to maintenance availabilities to numerous qualifications. During the ceremony, Guy was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal.

"As I reflect on my experiences over the past couple of years, I am humbled by the hard work and sacrifices made by every member of this crew on a daily basis,” said Guy. “The crew’s tenacious spirit and motivation in the face of adversity has enabled this ship to reach new levels of professional achievement. It was an honor serving with each of you and I wish you all fair winds and following seas.”

After reading their orders, Slough relieved Guy of his duties and

responsibilities and became Porter’s twelfth commanding officer.“It is absolutely an honor and a privilege to stand before you

today as the commanding officer of the USS Porter,” said Slough. “I look forward to continuing service to 6th Fleet with this crew and combined with Carney, Donald Cook and Ross, this really is an unbeatable team in FDNF Europe. We’re ready to answer any call. Freedom’s Champion… fight on!”

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

Throughout the year we bring awareness to many different items that help remind us of the great nation we support and defend as well as live in.

With the month of February being African-American/Black History Month, we must focus on the history and the contributions that many Americans and others provided to the

success of our nation. The theme for 2016 is, "Ha l lowed Grounds : Sites of African American Memories." One cannot tell the story of America without preserving and reflecting on the places where African Americans have made history. It is important for us to remember the people and places that over time have become hallowed grounds, and the people who helped define them.

As we travel back in history to Jan. 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation set our United States on the path of ending slavery. In 1926, part of an initiative by writer and educator Dr. Carter G. Woodson, proclaimed that Negro History Week should always occur in the second week

of February, between the birthdays of two great leaders, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. More recently, starting in 1976, every American president has proclaimed February as Black History Month. Today, other countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom also devote an entire month to celebrating black history.

However, it was on Aug. 27, 1963 that hundreds of thousands of Americans, blacks and whites, joined the march on Washington D.C. to the Lincoln Memorial - the memorial honoring President Lincoln who authored of the Emancipation Proclamation - in pursuit of the ideal of equality of citizenship. It is this event that summarizes the passion, commitment, and character of a group of human beings driven to pursue and achieve a common goal.

Bottom Line, we all have diverse backgrounds throughout our family, military, and civilian history. I am a firm believer that it is that diversity that makes us great at what we do as military and civilian members, especially within the Rota community.

In closing, I ask you to celebrate the formative leaders and sites of the civil rights movement, as well as countless others who have contributed immeasurably to the tapestry of America, helping shape our nation and the world. African American History Month is a time to reflect on our nation’s history and progress and recommit to advancing equal opportunity for all.

The CoasTline | February 4, 2016 3

U.S. European Command (EUCOM) leadership recently published an updated theater strategy, formalizing the combatant command’s top priorities, mission and vision.

Looking back, 2015 was undoubtedly one of the busiest years for EUCOM since the end of the Cold War. During the past year, a perpetually increased demand was placed upon the EUCOM personnel who help provide stability for the European security environment. “Our command has done an outstanding job balancing its focus between a revanchist Russia, mass migrations from other regions and foreign terrorist fighters transiting through Europe, while maintaining our commitments to our NATO allies and partners,” said Gen. Philip Breedlove, Commander of U.S. European Command.

Combatant commanders use theater strategies as a single comprehensive document designed to support U.S. policy abroad and secure national interest in their area of responsibility. “Our updated strategy was written to be used as a compass for everyone on the EUCOM team, from the service component commanders down to the service members in the field, to align

their organizations efforts and accomplish the mission,” added Breedlove.

EUCOM relies on its dedicated men and women to build and maintain relationships with European allies and partners, interagency partners and other combatant commands, that all work together to fully address new challenges and their long term implications. The strategy contains new command vision and mission statements, as well as six distinct theater priorities with the desired end states projected over the next three to five years. These six priorities include: 1) Deter Russian aggression; 2) Enable the NATO Alliance; 3) Preserve U.S. strategic partnerships; 4) Counter transnational threats; 5) Ensure postured and ready forces; and 6) Focus on key relationships.

In order to effectively implement a theater strategy of this magnitude, the command mission requires a whole of government approach supported with ready forces as well as the appropriate resources. “This newly updated Theater Strategy addresses the changes happening here in Europe and helps

our forces adapt to meet emerging challenges and ensure Europe remains whole, free, peaceful and prosperous.” said Breedlove.

BRITE Ideas NAVSTA Rota!

1. If you heat your house with a heat pump and have a conventional thermostat, do not set back the temperature setting when the house is unoccupied during the day or when the occupants are asleep at night. Setting back a conventional thermostat can cause the heat pump to operate inefficiently, canceling any savings achieved by lowering the temperature setting. Set back the thermostat if you have a setback heat pump thermostat. This problem does not arise when the heat pump operates in the cooling mode. Turning up the setting of both conventional and setback thermostats in the summer will save you energy and money.

2. If you have a hot water or steam heating system, put a reflector behind your radiator to reflect heat into the room that would normally be lost through the wall.

3.If you use a fireplace or small room heaters, close doors to section off parts of the house to stay warm and heat only the rooms you're in.

4. If you have reversible ceiling fans, set them in the winter to circulate the heated air collecting at the ceiling down toward the floor.

5. If you plan to buy a new furnace, select an energy-efficient unit. Your contractor has energy fact sheets for each model; ask for them and compare energy usage.

Heating Tips


By USNHR Health Promotions Department

February is often a memorable month due to Valentine’s Day and the romantic allure that comes with it, but that shouldn’t be our only heart concern. February is also Heart Heathy Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. More than 600,000 Americans die of heart disease each year. One in every four deaths is due to plaque build-up in the arteries, which restricts blood flow causing a heart attack or stroke. At least one-third of the lives lost to heart disease each year could have been prevented. As service members, your health is mission critical. Take the time to learn about the risk factors and lifestyle choices that could lead to heart disease. Not only does your ability to serve depend on it, your life depends on it as well. Over this next month we will be focusing on tips that you can use to keep your heart healthy for life.

Risk FactorsThe risk factors for heart disease are well-known. Some of them, such as gender,

age and family history are outside of your control. Medical conditions, such as high

blood pressure (HBP), elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol known as the “bad” cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes are controllable and entirely preventable

in some cases with a few healthy lifestyle changes.Lifestyle Choices

Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as poor eating habits, lack of exercise, being overweight or obese and mismanagement of stress can contribute to these medical conditions. By making healthy choices, you can burn body fat, increase circulation, strengthen your heart, reduce cholesterol and lower your blood glucose, which

can help diminish or prevent heart disease in a majority of cases. Despite this evidence, numerous service members still make unhealthy

choices,increasing their risk of heart disease. Make sure you’re not one of them by making the healthy lifestyle choices that we will be discussing

this month. Having a heathy heart sometimes simply comes down to the choices we make every day. Remember, healthy eating, active living, stress-

management and proper body mass index (BMI) are critical to your heart health and military readiness. For any question please call the Health Promotions and Wellness office at 727-3350. Live Well Rota and Stay Healthy for Life!

Make Your Heart Your Valentine This Month

Presidential Proclamation -- National African American History Month, 2016NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, 2016

- - - - - - -BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATIONAmerica's greatness is a testament to generations of courageous individuals who, in the face of

uncomfortable truths, accepted that the work of perfecting our Nation is unending and strived to expand the reach of freedom to all. For too long, our most basic liberties had been denied to African Americans, and today, we pay tribute to countless good-hearted citizens -- along the Underground Railroad, aboard a bus in Alabama, and all across our country -- who stood up and sat in to help right the wrongs of our past and extend the promise of America to all our people. During National African American History Month, we recognize these champions of justice and the sacrifices they made to bring us to this point, we honor the contributions of African Americans since our country's beginning, and we recommit to

reaching for a day when no person is judged by anything but the content of their character.From the Revolutionary War through the abolitionist movement, to marches from Selma to

Montgomery and across America today, African Americans have remained devoted to the proposition that all of us are created equal, even when their own rights were denied. As we rejoice in the victories won by men and women who believed in the idea of a just and fair America, we remember that, throughout history, our success has been driven by bold individuals who were willing to speak out

and change the status quo.Refusing to accept our Nation's original sin, African Americans bound by the chains of slavery broke

free and headed North, and many others who knew slavery was antithetical to our country's conception of human rights and dignity fought to bring their moral imagination to life. When Jim Crow mocked the advances made by the 13th Amendment, a new generation of men and women galvanized and organized with the same force of faith as their enslaved ancestors. Our Nation's young people still echo the call for equality, bringing attention to disparities that continue to plague our society in ways that mirror the non-violent tactics of the civil rights movement while adapting to modern times. Let us also not forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could make our voices heard by exercising our right to vote. Even in the face of legal challenges, every eligible voter should not take

for granted what is our right to shape our democracy.We have made great progress on the journey toward ensuring our ideals ring true for all people.

Today, African American high school graduation and college enrollment rates are at an all-time high. The African-American unemployment rate has been halved since its Great Recession peak. More than 2 million African Americans gained health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act. The incarceration rates for African-American men and women fell during each year of this Administration and are at their lowest points in over two decades. Yet challenges persist and obstacles still stand in the way of becoming the country envisioned at our founding, and we would do a disservice to all who came before us if we remained blind to the way past injustices shape the present. The United States is home to 5 percent of the world's population, but 25 percent of the world's prisoners -- a disproportionate number of whom are African American -- so we must find ways to reform our criminal justice system and ensure that it is fairer and more effective. While we've seen unemployment rates decrease, many communities, particularly those of color, continue to experience significant gaps in educational and employment opportunities, causing too many young men and women to feel like no matter how hard

they try, they may never achieve their dreams.Our responsibility as citizens is to address the inequalities and injustices that linger, and we must

secure our birthright freedoms for all people. As we mark the 40th year of National African American History Month, let us reflect on the sacrifices and contributions made by generations of African Americans, and let us resolve to continue our march toward a day when every person knows the

unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of

the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 2016 as National African American History Month. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs,

ceremonies, and activities.IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of January, in the

year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fortieth.

BARACK OBAMA

David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Elementary third grade students put their research skills to the test by collecting information on famous Americans. The school’s media specialist, Laura Vlahakis, taught the students how to use various search engines on the computer to collect data on their famous American. The students then used their information to create a display poster and write a presentation speech. They worked on creating an outfit that their famous American would wear so they could dress up for their school presentation of famous Americans in the 7th Annual Third Grade Living Wax Museum. At the museum, the

students sat in a chair and then would rise and recite their speech about their American once a visitor stepped on their activation button. The students took their assignment seriously and worked hard for six weeks making sure they had every aspect of the assignment complete. Parents were very supportive in helping complete the outfits the students needed and attending the museum on the evening of Jan. 27.

The students were nervous at first about speaking to all the visiting families, but once things got started they were very surprised when the half hour was over and they were done. On Jan. 28 the students presented the museum a second time to the other DGF Elementary students and once again did very well.

As the Installation Chaplain for Morón Air Base, I am responsible for the spiritual well-being of a lot of Airmen and Marines; however, we are just a staff of two. So, unfortunately, there are times that due to theology or manning we are unable to directly provide the needed worship opportunities for individuals. In those cases, one

of the ways that we can sometimes assist is by linking with a church or faith group in the local area that can provide for particular faith needs. This is quite easy at continental United States (CONUS) locations as there are often numerous faith communities of various theologies right outside the gate who are itching to engage with our members. In Spain though? Not so much.

This weekend, though, afforded me the opportunity to engage in one of the few communities that our Airmen have ties to in the local area. I visited the Iglesia de los Últimos Días, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). This community is a great supporter of our Mormon, or LDS, members. They have a tremendous ministry for people and most blessedly for us, have several English-

speaking missionaries that are able to provide a worship experience that would otherwise be unattainable at our sleepy, little Morón Air Base.

The day I visited was missionary Sunday, dedicated to the mission work of the church. Three individuals spoke during worship and the words of one of them really hit home. I want to share with you what it sparked in me. The missionary is leaving soon for Utah to train for her mission, and then will be stationed in France. The thing she said was that, as a missionary, you shouldn’t become friends with someone so that you can share the gospel, but that you should share the gospel because you are friends.

Think of it this way. When we receive good news we cannot wait to share it with those who are closest and most important to us. When you got engaged, became pregnant, were promoted or received the assignment you have wanted your entire career, you just couldn’t wait to tell your best friend or family. You wanted them to know and share

your joy that the good news had brought into your life.For those of us of the Christian faith, we want to share our good news as well. For

us, that is found in the Gospel of Jesus. In the original Greek of the Christian New Testament, the word used is euangélion and was translated into old English as gōdspel, or good news. For followers of Jesus, this gospel or “good news” is the most important thing that we can share with people. But to borrow this young lady’s line of thinking, we cannot become friends with others just so we can share the Gospel of Jesus.

This is because in doing so we become inauthentic to what we are sharing. In John 13:35, Jesus says, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (Newly Revised Standard Version) People will not know you are disciples by how eloquently you pray, how nuanced your sermon is or how many people you had a conversation with about salvation. Everyone will know because of your love.

The Apostle Paul says in his first letter to the Corinthians, “If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

Perhaps Theodore Roosevelt said it best when he said, “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”

It all starts with love. We have to love one another. With all our faults and failings, we have to love each other with the love that God has for us. It is not about liking or agreeing with everything about everyone, but about loving them as the creation of God that each of us are. The Greek word for this type of love is agápē defined as “love: the highest form of love, especially brotherly love, charity; the love of God for man and of man for God.”

It basically wants the best for the other person. In his book The Four Loves, C.S. Lewis used agape to describe what he believed was the highest level of love known to humanity; a selfless love, a love that was passionately committed to the well-being of the other. Kind of like the love that you have for your spouse, your siblings or your best friend. To be able to effectively share good news, we need to be friends with those whom we want to share it. Whether that good news is the Gospel of Jesus or just that they are not alone in the world, those things are best when coming from a friend.

The Highest Form of Love Is Selfless


Team Rota in the SpotlightABF2 (AW/SW) Isaac Baiden

By Michaela GarrisonNAVSTA Rota Public Affairs

. Aviation boatswain’s mate (SW/AW) Isaac Baiden can be found all over base volunteering as Naval Supply Systems’ (NAVSUP) command fitness leader, a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) victim advocate, working at the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society’s thrift shop and coaching a Morale, Welfare and Recreation youth soccer team.

Along with all of this volunteering you can also find Baiden at the NAVSUP Fuel Department as the leading petty officer making sure his people are manned and ready.

“I’m in charge of 16 military personnel, 22 people who drive the polycraft and four local nationals. To say manned and ready I mean any time people call for fuel or make a request for fuel, we will be there on time and give them what they want. Also, I need to make sure my people are working. I make sure administrative work is ready to go so everything is up to date and ready.”

Baiden attended Aviation Boatswain’s Mate “A” school as well as Safety Aviation Maintenance school, Damage Control and Customs schools during his time in the Navy. Baiden was assigned to the USS Wasp (LHD-1) in Norfolk from 2009 until 2013. In 2013, he arrived here in Rota.

Since then he has been working on a bachelor's degree in Homeland Security through Ashford University and practicing soccer in his spare time.

“My best hobby is soccer. I play indoor soccer. I played for the NAVSUP soccer team and last year we came in second and the year before that we won.”

Along with soccer, Baiden really enjoys the camaraderie at his command.“It’s good because we get in touch with everybody in the command and sometimes

we get together and play games and sometimes we have potlucks. I’m someone who is a team player. We do it all together,” says Baiden.

Baiden is really enjoying his time in Spain and everything he and his family are experiencing here.

“I love the culture and traveling around. We have so many countries around us. It’s good for traveling and good for my family. My kids are trying to learn the language here. It’s good.”

The David Glasgow Farragut (DGF)middle school Spelling Bee competition to select the representative of Rota for the European Spelling Bee in Germany took place Jan. 28. Mock trials were held earlier in the week in preparation for the main event. Participants practiced words derived from many countries and practiced their oral speaking skills. Specified advisory time was full of competition and a rapt audience supporting the brave spellers. There were 14 competitors at the final bee. Tensions were high when the count dropped to four remaining students: Benicio Diaz, Kiyoshi Hall, Nathan Turner and Owen Bond. Down to the final two, the tiebreaker was ‘platinum’ and Benicio Diaz beat out Kyoshi Hall by the single letter ‘i’ to become the 2016 Rota Middle School Spelling Bee Champion.

The Spelling Bee is a new event for our middle

school students this year sponsored by Mrs. Josephine Andrews. Ms. Linda White brought a touch of excitement and professional air to the Rota Middle School Spelling Bee with additional competitors, numbered bibs for the spellers and the appreciative audience of her Advisory students. Spelling Bee practice has been ongoing regularly during lunch time as announced in the school bulletin.

Sixth grade student Benicio Diaz will represent Rota Middle School and compete in the Final Round against other finalists from throughout Europe. The EPTA Spelling Bee will take place on Feb.27 at Ramstein Elementary School on Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany. The European Bee will start at 9 a.m. Saturday morning. Diaz will be accompanied by one or both of his parents at the competition.

When Chief Hospital Corpsman Crystal Ingram reported to Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) 7, she had one goal in mind and that was to help Sailors under her charge excel personally and professionally.

In recognition of her hard work and dedication, Ingram, NEPMU 7’s leading chief petty officer (LCPO), was selected as the 2015 Commander, U.S. Naval Activities (COMNAVACT) Spain Senior Enlisted Leader (SEL) of the Year, Jan. 29.

The award recognizes Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and Marines assigned to COMNAVACT Spain and the National Support Elements for excellence in performance, leadership, self-improvement, community involvement and military

appearance.Ingram was selected from among 216 senior enlisted service leaders in the Air

Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy paygrades E-7 and E-8 from COMNAVACT Spain.

With her husband, Senior Chief Master-at-Arms Phillip Ingram in attendance, Ingram was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal by Capt. Greg Pekari, commander, U.S. Naval Activities Spain, as part of the recognition ceremony. A native of Haddon Field, New Jersey, Ingram was extremely surprised to be named as COMNAVACT Spain SEL of the Year.

“It is a humbling yet motivating feeling to be selected for such a title,” said Ingram. “It is hard to believe that I could be recognized and awarded for doing what I love and what is expected of me as leader and that is being the Chief!”

According to Capt. Juliann Althoff, NEPMU 7’s officer-in-charge, Ingram is a true deck plate leader and one of the best Chief Petty Officers she has ever served with.

“Her performance is exemplary; she flawlessly balances the tasks of being the unit’s LCPO with service to the community at large. She is not only an exemplary representative of NEPMU 7, but also the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC) and Navy Medicine at large,” said Althoff.

Capt. Eric Hoffman, NMCPHC’s executive officer, echoed those sentiments adding his congratulations to NEPMU 7 leadership for being a shining example of how to develop and reward personnel.

“Clearly, this award not only acknowledges Chief Ingram's exceptional performance and commitment to her shipmates and the community, but reflects positively on the entire NEPMU 7 staff for pursuing excellence in all that they do,” said Hoffman. “Without question, the entire NMCPHC enterprise is very proud of Chief Ingram's accomplishment and values the tremendous leadership she displays every day.”

In addition to unit LCPO, Ingram is also NEPMU 7’s administrative LCPO. Her management ability and leadership were critical in the administrative establishment, staffing and structure of the unit, which was recommissioned in 2014. She has been an active member of Naval Station Rota’s Chief Petty Officer Association as the events coordinator, she has been sought out as a leader in diversity for Women and African-American/Black history month activities and acts as the U.S. Naval Hospital Rota CPO 365 Chairman all while earning a second Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal and pursing a Master’s of Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma.

When asked about her leadership philosophy, Ingram strongly believes in this

quote from speaker, author and Pastor John C. Maxwell; “Leadership is not about titles, positions or flow charts. It is about one life influencing another.”

“Before I start my day I take five to 10 minutes to meditate and pray for guidance on being a better leader, better friend, wife and mother,” said Ingram. “My team at NEPMU 7 makes my job as a leader easy. Everyone is motivated to excel and strive for excellence. This drives and motivates me to be the best I can be when I see how hard each Sailor pushes themselves and each other. There is a lot of friendly competition and there is nothing wrong with that when it is used for good. My reward is seeing previous and current Sailors excel and it’s not necessarily because of what I’ve done alone, but as a member of the team. “

“Chief Ingram is an immensely talented Chief Petty Officer,” said Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman William Hayden, NEPMU 7’s senior enlisted leader. “You know a Chief is effective and impactful when her reputation for success brings individual Sailors and organizations from around the installation to her office to seek her guidance.”

How’s it going on your New Year’s resolutions? We are a month into the New Year. Do you have more order and less chaos in your organizing? The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Thrift Shop is here to help.

Why do we all hold on to stuff? For most of us living here, we are a transient group. Our closets usually get cleaned out every three years or so during the next big move, but with that comes a need to have control. Control of memories, control of being ready, control of the “what if I need it someday and there’s no Target?” e.g. I have lived in four different homes over the course of our military career and none have had the same window sizes, hence why I have five varied sets of curtains on the shelves. It is a struggle and I’m right there with you.

De-ClutterFreedom of things will create more balance and

less stress in your life. For the big clean, try organizing by using three piles; things to keep, things to go and undecided for the things you need to think a little more about. Set yourself a deadline for when you’ll attack room-by-room or if you need to start smaller, drawer-by-drawer. If you’re short on space, go up. Use the height of shelves and clearly labeled bins to organize your

areas. Are your tabletops, countertops and nightstands cluttered? Try drawer organizers or even shoeboxes inside of drawers to separate and hold your items. Provide only space for a few items such as a lamp, a plant and maybe a book on your nightstand. This minimalism allows you to look upon peace before you fall asleep. For kids try using a checklist sign on the back of the bedroom door so even the younger ones can learn to organize and follow through. Set-up a cubby drawer in your house where each person gets a bin and loose items around the house can be deposited for claiming and return. Organize the clothes in your closet and when you hang something up, turn the hanger the opposite way. If after six months a hanger hasn’t been switched because you still have not worn it, it’s time for it to go.

Prep AheadSunny and sandy days will soon be upon us. Keep a

tote bag filled with clean rolled beach towels, goggles, talcum powder that removes the sand off legs and feet and fresh sunscreen conveniently ready to go. Do small tasks on a daily basis like take out the trash, wipe down and clear off your tables and countertops, empty your daily bags. If you set your routines to habitually clear and clean daily, you won’t have overwhelming piles to address weekly.

ContributeYour dona t ions o f

gently used or new items to the NMCRS Thrift Shop are financially crucial to NMCRS and its application of programs. In 2015, the NMCRS Rota Thrift Shop was just shy of earning 50,000 dollars, a 12 percent increase from 2014. NMCRS provides a

Budget for Baby program, a Visiting Nurse program and budget counseling as well as a range of loans including Quick Assist Loans (QAL), emergency travel funds, help with medical bills, rent and deposit costs to move into your home, education loans and more. By donating to the Thrift Shop and by shopping there, you help keep these programs available.

The Thrift Shop is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11 to 2 p.m. for active duty and their families, and 11:30 to 2 p.m. for all other T.E.I. cardholders except on federal holidays. To provide more opportunities to shop, it is open for all T.E.I. cardholders on the second and fourth Thursday of every month from 5 to 7 p.m. The Thrift Shop is run entirely by volunteers and can always use extra hands whether you only have a few hours of your time each month or can work a day each week, you could make a difference. Contact 727-1614 or 956-82-1614 from an off-base line for more information.

DonationsThe NMCRS Thrift Shop is located in Bldg.222, next

door to NCTAMS. We accept donations of clothing and shoes, household items, toys, books, small furniture and uniforms from all branches of the military. There are three drop-boxes in our parking lot, but only one is for NMCRS. We share our excess items with some base facilities including the library, Child Development Center, air terminal, RAWL and David Glasgow Farrugut school. Any clothing items that cannot be sold are put into the other two bins in our parking lot to give to a local charity called Madre Coraje.

To ensure the security of our base personnel, uniforms are required to be turned in to the Thrift Shop or properly disposed of through your command Defense Logistics Agency representative. Do not discard of these in any other location.

Remember Rota, reduce, reuse, recycle. It can significantly benefit both you and others.
