Base Notes•• ••

In anticipation of the holi-days, I want to emphasize theimportance of driving safetyas the weather begins tochange. If you are planning ondriving into northern Italy orthroughout Europe, be awarethat chain requirements existfor many areas. Keep emer-gency supplies stocked in yourvehicle, in addition to themandatory reflective vestsand road triangles. Make sureyou have the emergency dis-patch (081-568-4911/5911) and non-emergency services (081-568-5638/ 5639) numbers programmed into your phone or inyour wallet. Also be mindful of maintaining a plan as we go intoholiday party mode. We have already had five DUIs this fiscalyear, after only having nine for all of the 2013 fiscal year. Fourof the five DUIs have been out in town and the one on base wasan individual who blew positive in the morning after a nightout. Know your limits, and then stay within them. If someoneneeds help, don’t just watch—intervene.

Another area of caution during the holidays is thefts andbreak-ins, which seem to spike this time of year. Be vigilant.Utilize car and home alarms, and let a trusted neighbor orfriend know when you will leave the area for holiday travel sothey can keep an eye on things in your absence. Never leavevaluables in your car, especially gas coupons. When making atrip to the mall, never bring a load of purchases out to yourvehicle and leave them to continue shopping; they may not bethere when you return. Don’t make yourself a target, or allowcomplacency to creep into your routine. If family members arein town from the states, check your maps before you leave alocation, not out in the middle of the street. Keep track of yourbelongings, especially on crowded trains and buses.

Speaking of security, we have a number of job openings cur-rently for local hires/military spouses within our security divi-sion. Security has 6 GS5 positions open for local guard force.These personnel will be a part of the Security team to helpensure the safety and security of our friends and family. Theywill be trained to operate X-Ray machines and base access pol-icy to help meet one of NSA Naples primary missions. MWRalso has a number of job openings, including recreational aides,fitness directors and facility managers. I am pleased to have somany current job openings here at the installation, after a yearthat has hit many hard financially. Please take advantage ofthis opportunity.

Keep an eye on shipmates and loved ones, as this time of yearcan be lonely for many. Never assume a statement of self-harmis empty. Ensure anyone who seems depressed or shows thewarning signs of suicide receives the help they need. Look outfor one another. There are many things to do in Southern Italyand throughout Europe as the year winds down; plug in anddon’t spend this time alone. Check out tours with ITT/MWR,the holiday chapel schedule, and what the USO has to offer.Whether you take a cooking class or go on a group ski outing,there is something for everyone. Get out and enjoy our beauti-ful surroundings, and enjoy your upcoming holiday season!

On the first play from scrim-mage, Army attempted areverse that turned into atrick play when the widereceiver threw a long passdown the field. Navy inter-cepted the pass and had earlymomentum with hopes of win-ning for a third straight year.

Navy has won eight timesfrom 2000 to 2012.Unfortunately for this year’sNavy team, the great defensiveplay to start the game wouldbe one of their few highlightsand Army’s victory comes withbragging rights and ends atwo-year Navy win st reak.

“I’ve played in this game forthe last three years,” saidStaff Sgt. Thaddeus Moton.“We took a loss in last twogames, but we finally cameaway with a victory; I’ve beentalking smack all week, so I’mglad we won.”

Navy struggled to get any-thing going on offensethroughout the game. Most ofthe team’s struggles came fromthe quarterback position.

“The quarterbacks weplanned to use and practicedwith were injured and could-n’t play in the game,” saidHospital Corpsman 2nd ClassMarvin Holden, center for theNavy team.

REMEMBERINGPEARL HARBOR

“It is a great honor to performand represent one of the ships,”Hospital Corpsman 2nd ClassJaden Sandi, assigned to U.S.Naval Hospital Naples, who rep-resented Arizona in the drillteam formation.

“It was an important part of ourhistory.”

After the performance aremembrance wreath was placedbefore the stage which was hon-ored with salutes as two buglersplayed echo “Taps.”

Dec. 7, 2013 is the 72ndanniversary of the attack, inwhich the Imperial JapaneseNavy’s air raid on Pearl Harborbrought the United States intoWorld War II.

“Seventy two years ago, theUnited States Navy suffered thisdevastating surprise attack by amassive force bent on destroyingour fighting force and demoraliz-ing our nation,” said Capt. ScottGray, NSA Naples commandingofficer. “Through the trials andtribulations of a hard won warand a harder won peace, we haveforged the enduring bonds offriendship with our EuropeanAllies and Italy in particular.”

He compared the pre-WorldWar II U.S. military situation tothat of today and also spoke ofhow the war’s effects are still felttoday before finishing his speechwith a reminder.

“Remember the many who losttheir lives to protect the free-doms that define us asAmericans; those same freedomswe continue to protect today.Remember Pearl Harbor.”

FFSC Tip of the Week: Communication SkillsCommunication is powerful and directly affects our quality of life and

relationships. Our ability to express what we think and feel withoutclouding our ability to listen and respect how others think and feel is thegreatest factor of success in our work and home life. Yet, communicationis an everyday activity that is easily taken for granted. People use thepower of communication to strengthen relationships at work and athome by practicing skills that build effective two-way communication.

Unmanaged conflict has caused many hardships in the workplace andat home. It can cause people to suffer, missions to fail and families toseparate. Yet, conflict is inevitable. People manage conflict by examin-ing their attitudes and behaviors when faced with conflicting situations;practicing skills that prevent conflict from escalating; and working withothers to solve problems, allowing people to grow, missions to succeedand families to strengthen.

Roughly 35,000 first classpetty officers are scheduledto take the exam. Changingthe date will ensure theprocess is fair and orderlyfor all involved.

"It makes absolute sense toenact proper planning andtake the necessary steps toset our first class petty offi-cers up for success," saidMaster Chief Petty Officerof the Navy Mike Stevens.

Chief of Naval Personnelofficials announced that theCycle 222 active-duty E7exam date has been changedfrom Jan. 16 to Jan. 14.

The change is to avoid dis-ruption of the testingprocess due to a potentiallapse in government fund-ing.

Personnel SupportDetachments staffed by civil-ians and contractors could beforced to reduce services with-out funding, making examadministration unfeasible.

Naples CommunityHealth Awareness

By Chief of Naval Personnel

Public Affairs

The Naples Public Health Evaluation (PHE)was an extensive effort to learn more about thepotential environmental health risks present inthe Campania region of Italy. The Navy estab-lished health protective policies based on thestudy’s findings to protect the health of U.S. per-sonnel and their families, which includes bottledwater advisories and health protective leaseclauses.

The PHE found the potential health risks for living off-base can be mitigated by following established risk-managementactions.

The enduring health protection policies are as follows: • Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. personnel

living off base. • Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas, based on U.S.

Navy and Italian environmental sampling data. In these zones, U.S.Navy personnel are not permitted to sign new rental home leases.

• Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE website andthe U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board.

• Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses for privateoff-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service from a Navy-

approved vendor. – Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permitted wells.

Landlords must disconnect all non-permitted wells and provideproof of connection to the city water system or that the well is per-mitted.

– Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holding tanksevery six months.

• The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designated Italianpublic health officials.

Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy establishedhealth protective policies and took immediate action, when necessary,to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their families. The riskmanagement analysis determined that many of the health protectivepolicies established during Phase I and Phase II will continue, as wellas new policies implemented to ensure continued health protection.

The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets addressing com-monly asked questions and a detailed timeline of study components,are available through a link on the Naval Support Activity Napleswebsite: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have a concern about yourspecific health risk and how the study relates to you, please contact the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN: 629-6299 or commercial: 081-811-6299.

The F/A-18 Hornet community celebrated the 35thanniversary of the aircraft's first flight during a cere-mony Dec. 9 in the Rear Adm. William A. Moffettbuilding atrium at Naval Air Station Patuxent River,Md.

Sponsored by the F/A-18 and EA-18G ProgramOffice (PMA-265), the celebration highlighted theaccomplishments and continued impact of the U.S.Navy's longest running tactical aircraft program.

"The F/A-18 and EA-18G program continues tothrive, it is by far the predominant tactical force fornaval aviation," said Capt. Frank Morley, PMA-265program manager, "and it will continue to be for manyyears to come."

Originally designed to replace the F-4 Phantom andthe A-7 Corsair II, the F/A-18 Hornet took its firstflight Nov. 18, 1978. Today, the F/A-18 platform,including the Hornet, Super Hornet and EA-18GGrowler, operate in 44 Navy and 11 Marine CorpsStrike Fighter and Electronic Attack Squadronsworldwide.

Since its maiden voyage 35 years ago, the F/A-18family of aircraft has flown 8,692,167 flight hoursaveraging nearly 250,000 flights hours per year sincethe historic journey.

"The success of this program rests on the shouldersof many that have come before us, and many that havespent a lifetime supporting this program," Morley saidduring the ceremony.

The ceremony's keynote speaker, retired Vice Adm.Jeffrey A. Wieringa, shared a number of "sea" storiesbased on his experience as a past program manager(April 2000 to May 2003).

"I became a naval aviator in 1977 - just one yearbefore the Hornet entered into service," said Wieringa."So, you could say that both the F/A-18 and I earnedour wings right about the same time."

Rear Adm. Donald (B.D.) Gaddis, program executiveofficer for Tactical Aircraft Programs, also sharedthoughts about his time as PMA-265's program man-ager and what he believes has made the F/A-18 andEA-18G program so successful.

"We have always had very, very good leadershipinside the Hornet industry team, PMA-265 and in thecompetencies," said Gaddis. "That successful cultureis going to keep us flying as a team until probably2030 or 2035."

The ceremony was followed by a luncheon and toursof Hangar 201, home of Air Test and EvaluationSquadron (VX) 23. Four static aircraft displays wereon exhibition, each representing an iteration of theF/A-18. Boeing also provided guests the opportunity to"fly" the F/A-18 Super Hornet via its mobile simulator.

The March 2014 Navy-wide enlisted examina-tions for Active Duty, Full Time Support andCanvasser Recruiter Sailors who are advance-ment eligible to the paygrades of E4-E6 havebeen announced in Naval AdministrativeMessage (NAVADMIN) 312/13, released Dec. 11.

"The best way to prepare for an advancementexamination is to know your job better thanyour peers," said Master Chief Electrician'sMate Eric Riddle, command master chief of theNaval Education and Training ProfessionalDevelopment and Technology Center (NET-PDTC).

"When the rating Subject Matter Expertsdevelop your examination content, they areinstructed to write questions that Sailors needto know in order to perform their jobs," saidRiddle. "With that in mind, I would strongly

recommend Sailors study with the intent ofincreasing job knowledge and not study solelyfor the exam."

During Advancement Examination ReadinessReviews held at NETPDTC, visiting E7 andabove fleet SMEs in each enlisted rating ensureall examination questions can be linked to ref-erences and publications. As rating SMEs selectquestions for the examination, an examinationbibliography is developed based on the sourcereference for the question.

TREE LIGHTING

For Gray this is his third and finaltime participating in the tree-light-ing ceremony and he said he hasfound this event to be the most funand the biggest. He has been toother bases and said the events arenot as big or popular and he enjoysseeing everyone come together forthe holidays to have a great time.

“For many of us we are spendingChristmas away from home,” saidGray. “We are our extended familyout here.”

For many visiting the event, itwas their first time celebrating theholidays with the community onthe naval base.

“It was so nice being out heretonight and being able to visit withfamily,” said Marcos Cachiero. Hecame to the U.S. base fromBarcelona, Spain to visit his mili-tary family members in Naples.

“This is our first time here,” saidGunner’s Mate 2nd Class AdrianLassiter as he walked through thevillage with his family. “We’ve livedoverseas in Japan before and havenever experienced something likethis before. There is a great senseof community here; they treat oneanother as extended family to helpget through tough times.”

New to this year’s event is theHoliday Village organized by theWelfare and Recreation Asso -ciation. The village had boothssetup to bring Italian holiday cul-ture and customs from around theregion to the American community.

At the village the AmericanForces Network played music forthe crowd and the School Age CareChildren’s Choir performed holidaysongs such as, “All I Want For

“On most occasions if you hearthe Navy band, you will hear anafternoon of brass quintet, or a

night of rock band,” said Musician3rd Class Alexis Thompson,French horn player.

“At our holiday concerts we playan array of styles of music includ-ing classical, jazz, and pop all inthe same concert,” said Thompson.“Holiday performances are myfavorite concerts during the year.They bring the most smiles andeach holiday tune brings memoriesto oneself.”

Except for those living at the Support Siteand Capodichino, bottled water is recom-mended. Treated water is provided free ofcharge at a dispenser located outside theCapodichino east parking garage. All econo-my leases negotiated through the Housingoffice have a bottle water clause, whichrequires the landlord to provide bottledwater. Work with landlords to have anywater holding tanks disinfected twice a yearand ensure your tap water is disconnectedfrom non-permitted wells and connected

only to the city water system.

The holidays are upon us and many of usare planning on cooking. The averagehousehold uses three times the energy onThanksgiving Day than it does theThursday the week before. No matter ifyou are a family of four or fourteen, thereare some green rules you can follow whilecooking throughout the holidays.

Thawing your turkey or ham in the fridge increases the refrigera-tor’s cooling demand for every four to five pounds. Buy fresh or thawit in cool water for 30 minutes per pound.

Try not to open the oven door to take a peek inside. Use theinstalled light to keep track of your bird though the viewing win-dow. Constant opening and closing of the door can affect cookingtemperature by as much as 25 percent, which translates to addi-tional time needed to cook thoroughly. The heating element now hasto produce more heat in order to re-adjust the temperature.

Leave your home thermostat on a cooler setting while cooking fordinner or having lots of people over. The lack of heating will bemade up for through the efforts in the kitchen and extra bodies.

Once you are nearing the end of cooking your main dish, use theextra space to cook smaller dishes. This will not only make yourcooking efforts more efficient, you’ll also get to eat faster.

Be sure to match pot sizes with burners accordingly. Properlymatch pot diameter to burners makes better use of the flame. Notdoing so can waste up to 40 percent in lost energy on the burner sizealone.

These are just a few tips to get you in the right direction and keepcost and energy use down.

December has been designat-ed as National Drunk andDrugged Driving PreventionMonth, a time to raise aware-ness about the consequences ofdriving under the influence ofalcohol and drugs, announcedDorice Favorite, director, NavyAlcohol and Drug AbusePrevention Office.

"The month of December isone of the busiest on thenation's roadways, and alsoone of the most dangerous, dueto a high incidence of alcoholand drug-related traffic crash-es," said Favorite. "Accordingto the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration,an average of 25 people die each day in drunk driving crashes during December." That meansapproximately 775 people aren't making it home for the December holidays.

"Impaired driving crashes are one hundred percent preventable," continued Favorite."Everyone can practice responsible drinking and Keep What They've Earned." It's within every-one's ability to make and keep to a plan, whether at a party, at the bar, or anywhere that willrequire you to travel home.

If you decide to drink this holiday season, designate a driver that will not drink any alcohol thatnight. A designated driver will help you get home safely.

Have a plan. Make the decision on who will be the designated driver before going out, and stickto the plan. Know how much you are going to drink in advance and stop when you reach yourpre-planned limit.

Be a good shipmate. "If you notice someone who is about to drive or ride with a driver who isimpaired, take the driver's keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where theyare going safely," concluded Favorite. "Simple planning in advance can bring everyone throughDecember safely."

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other thanan active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit withineight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approvalfor entry into the country.

All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signatureis required at the time of application.

NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING TOITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.

As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office (RLSOEURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisition of the SojournerPermit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Armyand Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at theJFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.

redemption next year.“I had a lot of fun,” said Holden. “This was my first year play-

ing, but I’m definitely playing again next year.” The game isn’t just for the competitors, but it is also for the

members of the community.“I was glad to look into the stands and see all people who came

out to support the event,” said Moton. “The families love thiskind of stuff.”

The Army-Navy flag football game is just one of many eventsorganized by MWR that service members and their families lookforward to every year.

“The Army-Navy game is a very big morale booster; it bringsout everyone’s competitiveness, but in a good way,” said CaitlynKnapp, intramural sports manager for MWR. “I love watchingsports. It feels great to bring a piece of America to Italy.”
