Spring has sprung here inNaples, with youth sports,longer daylight hours, andsummer just around the cor-ner. There’s a lot to loveabout living in Campania,and the MWR and USO havepacked schedules with plentyto get out and enjoy. Thereare two upcoming trips to theeastern coastal town ofAlberobello in Puglia, acruise to the westernMediterranean, and count-less day trips to enjoy the sights and sounds of Naples.

Eggstravaganza, the annual Easter celebration, will be heldout at Carney Park again this year. There will be rides andactivities for the kids, crafts, candy, and of course the EasterBunny will be stopping in for a visit. The festivities will beheld the day before Easter, Saturday, April 19. In May, theNEX Customer Appreciation Days will provide three days ofentertainment and celebration, with live musical acts, askateboard team, and martial arts demonstrations. TheIndependence Day “Festa Americana” celebration will beheld July 5th at Carney Park, complete with food vendors,live entertainment and fireworks. It is shaping up to be a fullsummer here in Naples.

We have much to appreciate in our day-to-day lives, espe-cially for those on Support Site, who have likely seen themany playground makeovers in progress this spring. Theskate park will be undergoing a revamp, starting in the nextfew weeks, that will see a full face-lift by summer-to includea new half pipe. New awnings continue to be installed forbalconies in each housing unit, and we’ve been able to beginpainting some of the buildings and do minor repair work onentryways. Please keep those new awnings rolled up whenyou head out of town for the weekend, or when a strongstorm rolls in. They have been a long time in coming, and wemay not be able to replace them again for a long time.

This week we had a series of reported and confirmed gasleaks on the Support Site which Fire, Public Works, Housing,Mirabella and ENEL responded to. There were several exte-rior leaks that were repaired and some additional leaks indryer gas lines. NSA has not identified system-wide prob-lems that resulted in the flurry of leaks, but, nevertheless,we issued a PAO Note and advertised the issue to ensureeveryone was aware and remained vigilant for leaks. If yoususpect a leak, contact Emergency Dispatch so we can sendout Fire/Housing to investigate and rectify any issues.

A two- or three-year tour in Naples may seem like you haveall the time in the world to explore Italy and Europe if you’rejust starting out. Don’t let the months and years pass you bywithout enjoying all this duty station has to offer.

The decreecame after an investigation carried out by theMinister of Agriculture led to a mapped area showingdifferent risk level areas in the 57 municipalities inthe provinces of Naples and Caserta, a total area of1,076 square kilometers. The areas were also deter-mined by compiled reports identifying where illegalwaste had previously been dumped. The highest riskareas, identified as risk 5, were in seven areas locat-ed in the municipalities of Acerra, Caivano,Giugliano, Succivo and Villa Literno.

The other 44 sites, considered risks 3 and 4, wereidentified in Castel Volturno, Villa Literno, Nola,Acerra, Caivano and Giugliano.

Produce from these areascannot be placed on the market until further analysisis completed within the next ninety days. The ownerscould perform these analyses at their own expense.The Regional authority has also allocated a fund of 50million euros to farmers who decide to perform theirown tests as well as additional analysis, which arevery costly.

In addition to encouraging

women to stay healthy, repre-sentatives from the NavyMarine Corps Relief SocietyVisiting Nurse program spokewith attendees about theirprograms. Other local commu-nity organizations, such asUSO Naples, Connect theTots, NSA Religious MinistriesTeam, CREDO, the Fleet andFamily Support Center,Protestant Women of theChapel and the U.S. NavalHospital Naples HealthPromotions department alsomade information available tothe guests.

Members of the U.S. Naval forces along withAfrican and European maritime partners conclud-ed the fourth annual multinational exercise,Saharan Express, in Dakar, Senegal, March 14.

During Saharan Express 2014, which beganMarch 6, maritime forces from seven Africannations, five European nations and the UnitedStates executed a multitude of scenarios, resultingin sharpened strategic and tactical expertisedesigned to increase collaboration on regional mar-itime security.

"Saharan Express is important because it isaimed at maritime security capacity building. Thiswill help extend law and order into the waters thatsupply so many resources in all our countries," saidSandra Clark, charge d'affaires at the UnitedStates Embassy in Dakar. "This training will notonly benefit West Africa and West Africans. Thistraining will have a direct impact on security inEurope, North America and the rest of this ever-more interconnected world. As economic growthimproves, we will all see the benefits of a wealthierworld with more trading partners. The benefits ofyour training will be felt an ocean away."

The fourth annual exercise was conducted acrossthree different operational hubs in waters nearCabo Verde and Senegal. Scenarios included count-er-piracy, counter-illicit trafficking and illegal fish-ing.

"I am pleased that the exercise scenarios thatwere selected and executed this year are realisticand perfectly reflect the treats proliferating in themaritime area of Africa," said Rear Adm. CheikhBara Cissokho, Senegalese chief of navy staff.

"Indeed, illegal, unregulated and unreported fish-ing drug trafficking and arms smuggling arescourges that require of all maritime stakeholdersa constant vigilance and the continuous training ofdefense forces and security."

Saharan Express is one of four African regional"Express" series exercises facilitated by U.S. NavalForces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet. The objectiveof the exercise was to increase regional cooperation,Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)/informationsharing and improve communications and interop-erability among participating forces to strengthenregional partner nations' capabilities to countermaritime threats.

"Each Saharan Express has built on the successesof the previous year's work. I am proud to say thatwe have helped to advance the region's ability topreserve maritime security through stronger pro-fessional bonds as well as improved communica-tions and finely tuned skills," said U.S. Navy Capt.John Tokarewich, Saharan Express 2014 exercisedirector, during the closing ceremony here.

Participating nations felt that the exercise wasbeneficial to improving skill sets that can be usedin real-world operations. Additionally, African part-ners will play a larger role in planning future iter-ations of the annual exercise.

"Saharan Express 2014 is a turning point sincethe beginning of the organization of the exercise.Indeed, this year was marked by the gradual trans-fer of responsibilities to the Navies and CoastGuards of West Africa with regard to planning, con-duct of operations and logistical support. This istimely and fits perfectly in line with the objectivesof the integrated Maritime Policy of the EconomicCommunity of West African States," Cissoko said.

In order for critical fleet vacancies to be filled ontime, detailers can now write orders directing thedetachment or transfer of enlisted Sailors up tosix months prior to their projected rotation dateor as late as six months after their PRD.

“This change gives the detailers increasedauthority and flexibility to reduce gaps in fleetrequirements," said Fleet Master Chief AprilBeldo, fleet master chief for manpower, personnel,training and education. "We're working toimprove enlisted fleet manning and reduce gapsat sea, but there are times when fleet vacanciesand associated training requirements do not alignwell with availability dates. This change is aboutopening up the detailing window so we can ensureon-time arrival of the right Sailor with the righttraining to fleet commands."

Sailors who wish to extend at sea or return tosea duty early may be entitled to receive an incen-tive pay along with a choice of duty station via theVoluntary Sea Duty Program (VSDP). Updatedinstructions outlining the VSDP guidelines areforthcoming, but Sailors can continue to refer toNAVADMINs 043/12 and 205/12 until the updatesare released.

Beldo said the process enlisted Sailors use forselecting orders will not change.

"This won't bring any significant processchanges for Sailors," said Beldo. "You will stillenter your normal nine-month PRD window andnegotiate orders through CMS/ID. If you arebeing considered for early return to sea (ERS),your detailer will let you know. If you are selectedfor an ERS requirement your orders may direct

you to transfer earlier, or later, than your PRD."Here are four things you need to know about the

changes:1. Enlisted detailers will fill as many high priori-

ty E-4 to E-9 sea duty requirements as possibleby fully using the authorized transfer windowof "-6/+6." Involuntary curtailment of shoreduty at 24 months will only be used whenthere are limited Sailors available in the PRDwindow and there are no excess personnel onsea duty within the geographic area that canbe reassigned.

2. PRDs will not be adjusted and the currentCMS/ID application and selection policies willremain unchanged. Sailors will continue toenter their CMS/ID order negotiation windownine months prior to their PRD. However,when they are selected for their next assign-ment their orders may direct their transferearlier than the previous "-3/+4" PRD transferwindow allowed.

3. Actual transfer dates will be determined by thecommencement of training for the prospectivejob and the date of the anticipated fleet vacan-cy they're ordered to fill. This change to thePCS transfer timeframe is driven by the needto ensure on-time arrival of the right Sailor,with the right training to fleet commands.

4. Nuclear enlisted Sailors will have their initialsea tour PRDs set in accordance with their pre-scribed sea tour lengths. This change removesunnecessary administration from the ships;allows for more accurate personnel inventoryreports; and provides Sailors with more accu-rate PRDs upon receipt of orders to their ini-tial CVN sea tour.

Dietary Supplements: PotentiallyUnsafe Unless Informed

March is Navy NutritionMonth and the Navy'sNutrition Office, part of the21st Century Sailor Office, iscommitted to spreading theword on healthy eating.

A recent article in NutritionJournal suggests that peoplelooking to take a dietary sup-

plement already have some-what of a healthy eating pat-tern with regular exercise intheir routine. Supplements maybe necessary if adequate nutri-tion is not available throughfood due to reasons such asmedical conditions that affectthe digestive system, food aller-gies, intolerances, or being on amedically supervised specialdiet with food restrictions.

Otherwise, having a well-bal-anced dietary pattern with avariety of foods is adequate andmore effective than taking sup-plements.

Dietary supplement market-ing claims to solve numeroushealth problems, from relievingsymptoms of simple medicalconcerns like the common coldto stopping a heart attack deadin its tracts. If dietary supple-ments really worked and pro-duced a true quick and lastingsolution to any health concern,then we would all be in optimalhealth without the need to visitthe doctor. The Los AngelesTimes reported in 2013 thatAmericans spend just under$30 billion each year in dietarysupplements including vita-mins, herbs, and other suchproducts that promise moreenergy, weight loss, or moremuscle mass. It's foolish tobelieve the marketing and hypesurrounding a product withoutdoing the proper research.Some news articles claim sup-plements to be safe, where sci-ence and research may say oth-erwise. Supplement labelingand ingredients are not alwaysaccurate and sometimes mis-leading.

Last year the DoD removedJack3d and Oxyelite Pro, alongwith 17 other supplementbrands, from the retail storeson military bases. This wasbecause the label claimed one ofthe ingredients, geranium, as anatural plant derivative, whenin actuality, the real ingredientin these supplements was 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA), asynthetic drug used in the1940s as a nasal decongestant.DMAA has been linked tosevere side effects like heatinjuries, seizures, brain hemor-rhages, and heart problems.There may be numerous othersupplements currently on themarket that have unknown andpotentially harmful ingredientsin them.

What you Should Know aboutcolon cancer Prevention

How many of us would not want to be warned in advance thatsomething bad, but preventable is about to happen? That theemail attachment we are about to open contains a virus capableof trashing our computer or that the brake pads on our familycar are on the verge of failure? Being in the habit of practicingpreventive maintenance and applying a bit of common sense canmake the difference between experiencing misfortune and avoid-ing disaster.

And so it is with our healthcare. Although Ben Franklin knewabsolutely nothing about the wonders of 21st century medicinewhen he first coined the phrase “An ounce of prevention is wortha pound of cure,” it would be hard to think of a better descriptionfor the benefits of colonoscopy, a painless procedure which hasbecome one of healthcare’s most effective methods of preventivemaintenance. This low-risk outpatient procedure can detect theearliest changes leading to colon cancer and in most cases caneffectively treat them at the same time, avoiding the need formajor abdominal surgery.

Over the past three decades our understanding of this problemhas grown dramatically. For various reasons, with the passage oftime the cells lining the large intestine change in character; firstmorphing into unusual forms, then heaping up in abnormalgrowths known as a polyps. Left untreated the cells making upcertain kinds of polyps can and will continue to change for theworse resulting in a cancerous tumor. Did you know that world-wide colon cancer is tied with breast cancer as the third mostcommon malignancy?

The good news is that this process of unhealthy change doesnot happen overnight. The downhill slide from benign polyp tocolon cancer usually takes several years to occur. Routinecolonoscopy performed as recommended by the American CancerSociety gives the best chance of finding these polyps and havingthem removed painlessly before any malignant changes haveoccurred.

For the average patient, a screening colonoscopy should be per-formed at age 50. A clean bill of health following that test makesyou “good to go” for the next ten years. If a parent or sibling hasbeen diagnosed with colon cancer or certain types of polyps,screening should begin no later than age 40. Anyone who is cur-rently noticing worrisome changes in their usual bowel habit(like the passage of blood) should contact their primary careprovider regardless of their age to see if colonoscopy might be agood idea.

Common sense and a habit of preventive maintenance can go along way in making life more trouble free. If these screeningguidelines apply to you, call to schedule an appointment and toget more information on colonoscopy; it might be the smartestthing you have ever done. With your current access to qualityhealthcare, getting an ounce of prevention against colon canceris an offer you probably can’t afford to pass up.

Religious Ministries’ Notes from Beyond

Love is an Open Door

It’s no secret. I’m royally under performingas “Mr. Mom.” Tracy is away for 12 days withour two oldest daughters, and I’m home withour youngest three, seven- and six-years-oldrespectively. Yes, twins. Yes, all girls.

It has been a storm of clogged toilets, hairmesses, waking up with little people’s legs onmy back, middle-of-the-night ailments, mealsnubbing, and I even forgot to put back thecap to the car engine after filling it up with oil- yeah, it has been a mess; nothing too bad,just constant. It feels like they can sensemomma is not around, so it’s like the floodgates have been busted open and everythinggoes!

This morning however, was a different story.As they all climbed on my bed around six inthe morning, I opened the computer andchecked ESPN, Facebook, and CNN. Nextthing I know I have all three of them sur-rounding me wanting to see what I had on thescreen. Probably out of a sense of obligation Iopened another tab and started watching kidvideos. One of the videos they all tuned in towas a sing-along version of “Love is an OpenDoor” from the Disney film Frozen. Theysang it, I sang it, and then we all did.Different versions, parodies, and interpreta-tions, we saw them all.

The rest of the morning went pretty smooth-

ly to tell you thetruth. Teethwere brushed,breakfast eaten,snacks made, and we all drove to schoolsinging “Love is an Open Door”, again, againand again. It’s funny how when I lead theminto a tune, they all want to follow. I lead,they follow. I am the dad; they are the daugh-ters.

This makes me stop and think, what is thetune I usually sing to them? It’s usually thetune of “let me do my own thing.” Othertimes, it’s the “be good while I am at the com-puter.” More often than not, I play the “momis in charge therefore I am not here” tune.

I wonder what would happen if I’m moreintentional in leading my own kids into fun,formational, and engaging tunes? I wonder ifthis morning could bleed over and become thenorm, rather than the exception? Love,indeed, is an open door. It is open for us par-ents to lead.

More than 180 Sailors gathered at the NavalSupport Activity (NSA) Naples youth centergymnasium on the Support Site to take thesecond class petty officer advancement exam,March 13.

Test takers began waiting in line to enter thegymnasium around 6 a.m. Some talked withtheir friends, while others stood preparing.

“I’m excited and nervous,” said AerographersMate 3rd Class Alexandria Bahr. “I’m ready toget it over with.”

A lot of Sailors said they were nervous, yeteager to take the exam.

“This is my first time taking the second classexam,” said Master-at-Arms 3rd class DaveTillman Jr. “I’m a little nervous, but I havestudied a lot.”

The Naples Area Second Class Petty OfficersAssociation provided breakfast and encourage-ment for their fellow Sailors waiting to takethe exam.

“We know how nerve-racking it can be, so ifwe can make someone more comfortable andmake their morning right before they take theexam, we hope that will help,” said MassCommunication Specialist 2nd Class EmilyWilliams, public affairs officer for the NaplesArea Second Class Petty Officer Association.

The Sailors entered the gymnasium andfound their assigned tables. Lt. Cmdr. AndrewHoffman, officer in charge for NSA NaplesPersonnel Support Detachment (PSD), readthe advancement exam instructions whileproctors checked on discrepancies and collect-ed all cellular phones.

Sailors are allotted three yours to take theirexam.

After more than two hours, InformationSystems Technician 3rd Class Dakota Piercecompleted his test. He said some of the testwas difficult, but he thinks he did well.

“The only sure thing that is going to help youis studying and knowing the material,” saidPierce.

Completed exams are transported to PSD atNSA Capodichino to be processed and sent tothe Naval Education and TrainingProfessional Development and TechnologyCenter (NETPDTC) in Pensacola, Fla.

“I’m checking everything for discrepanciesbefore the exams are sent to NETPDTC,” saidPersonnel Specialist 2nd Class David Olvera,assistant educational service officer for NSANaples PSD. “If there is a mistake, it can pre-vent a Sailor from advancing.”

Sailors are advanced based on their finalmultiple score. It is made up of pass-but-not-advanced (PNA) points, award points, time inrate and the score from the exam. Once aSailor’s final multiple is determined, it is grad-ed against everyone else in their rate that tookthe exam.

One mistake with a final multiple score canaffect every other Sailor’s chances of advanc-ing.

“It’s very rewarding if I catch a discrepancyon a Sailor’s information,” said Olvera. “Peoplehave been passed up on advancement by onepoint.”

With advancement exams across the Navyreviewed and sent to NETPDTC, Sailors willhave to wait around two months for theirresults and to see if they get promoted.
