Base Notes

Last Friday morning dur-ing the CommandersSpotlight radio show, Ispoke about Suicide Prev -ention Awareness month,which is observed everySeptember. It is importantthat we continue to dia-logue about suicide, as pre-vention is everyones res -ponsibility. Most suicidesand attempts are reactionsto intense feelings of loneli-ness, worthlessness, hope-lessness, helplessness,guilt and depression. Ever -yone should know the risk factors for suicide, which includerelationship problems, substance abuse, work related prob-lems, major life transitions, health, financial, legal or discipli-nary problems, a significant loss of a loved one, setbacks toones career, academic or personal life, and severe, prolongedand/or perceived unmanageable stress. Warning signs require direct intervention, and include talk-

ing or hinting about suicide, giving away property or disregardfor ones property, withdrawal from friends, hobbies and socialactivities, loss of interest in personal appearance, drasticchanges in behavior based on ones knowledge of the person orof oneself, taking unnecessary risks, having a desire to die, apreoccupation or obsession with death and dying, formulatinga plan including acquiring the means to kill oneself, finalizingpersonal affairs, and giving away personal possessions. If you see someone exhibiting these warning signs, pay atten-

tion. Take all talk of suicide seriously. Let the person know youare concerned and you care, and remember to ACT: ASK if theperson is thinking about suicide, listen and acknowledge theirthoughts and feelings. Let them know you CARE, and discusswhat is troubling them. And lastly TREAT: secure professionalhelp, and never leave the individual alone or be sworn to secrecy. September is not only Suicide Prevention Month, but it is

also National Preparedness Month. We recently had a greatopportunity on National Night Out to talk through and prac-tice our response in case of earthquake. Preparation requiresconstant attention, and should involve implementing a com-munication plan with your family, discussing a meeting place,building an emergency kit, and having access to your impor-tant documents at a moments notice. The Great Shakeout willtake place on October 17 at NSA Naples, so now is a good timeto prepare and familiarize ourselves with preparedness anddrills such as Drop, Cover and Hold On. Also on the horizon, we have a fall full of amazing events for

the entire NSA family. With the school year in full swing,Homecoming at Naples High School will be Sept. 27, andSpooktacular is just around the corner on Oct. 25.

The Ombudsman Programwas introduced in the Navy onSept. 14, 1970 by the Chief ofNaval Operations Adm. Elmo

Zumwalt. He recognized issuesand concerns that are uniqueto Navy families and adopted aprogram to address them.

Each year America's Armed Forces recognizeSeptember as Suicide Prevention Month. For 2013, Navy is focusing on the importance

of community and self-purpose when dealingwith adversity, officials announced in NAVAD-MIN 212/13.The theme of this year's Navy Suicide

Prevention (SP) Month is "Thrive in YourCommunity," encouraging Sailors to worktogether as commands, units, installations orother groups to contribute to a project of theirchoice that benefits others. Participation is notmandatory and there is no minimum forengagement. Sailors can work together to dosomething positive for their commands orinstallations, or get involved in their local com-munities. Family and civilian engagement isencouraged. "While we don't often think of it this way, sui-

cide prevention actually happens every day atthe deckplate, in our neighborhoods, even inour own homes," said Capt. Kurt Scott, NavyResilience chief. "When we do small things thatmake a difference to those around us, we maynot realize the effect we're having on others'

lives-or our own," Scott said. Navy seeks to pro-mote unity and cohesion in this context toemphasize the positive impacts of seeking help;Sailors that are willing to help others may bemore willing to receive it when needed.Throughout the month, resources will be

released on www.suicide.navy.mil > SuicidePrevention Month to guide discussion on stressnavigation, comprehensive wellness, and asense of community-all protective factorsagainst suicide. The website also houses ideasand guidance for "Thrive in Your Community"engagement for any command environment.Command Suicide Prevention Coordinators willalso be available to help organize local efforts.Sailors are encouraged to send details and/orphotos of their September events to [email protected] to be shared with the fleet onthe SP Month website and Navy OperationalStress Control social media."Navy's efforts to help Sailors better navigate

their stress are an all hands evolution, all of thetime. These initiatives extend far beyondSeptember and serve as a launch pad for year-long local efforts to build resilience and unitcohesion, promoting a Navywide culture sup-portive of seeking help," said Scott.

is $14 billion. The serviceexempted military manpowerfrom the cuts, and this wouldmean 14 percent reductionsfor all other accounts, theadmiral said. Barring helpfrom Congress in the nextbudget, he told the audience,the Navy will have to cancelhalf of its ship availability."We will cancel a lot of air-

craft availabilities," he added."If we restored the budgetafter [fiscal 2014] and said,'You have a full-up operationsand maintenance budget,' it'lltake about five years to getthat backlog in aircraft main-tenance down."Navywide, the service will

reduce training for those notdeploying, Greenert said.Some air wings will fly andaircrews will receive training,he said, but officials areuncomfortable with theamount of flight hours.Shipbuilding will drop in fis-

cal 2014 also. "I would see theloss of a littoral combat ship,an afloat-forward stagingbase and advanced procure-

ment for a Virginia-class sub-marine and a carrier over-haul," Greenert said. "Wemight lose two more - a sub-marine and a destroyer - if weare unable to reprogram andmove money into thoseaccounts."The Navy will lose about 25

aircraft, from helicopters to P-8s to F-35s, the admiral said."We need about a billion dol-

lars to get into the operationsand maintenance account anda billion into the procurementaccounts so we can get it intoshipbuilding, which will bemy No. 1 priority in theNavy," he said.Beyond fiscal 2014, Greenert

said, the bywords will be for-ward presence, readiness ofdeployed forces, developingand stressing asymmetriccapabilities and new technolo-gies, and cyber capabilities."We will reduce force struc-ture in this plan, but we haveto do it while preserving theright capacity to do one [majorcombat operation] in thefuture," he added.

Navy Commemorates Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial

The U.S. Navy and the NavalHistorical Foundation celebratedthe 200th anniversary of theBattle of Lake Erie by hosting aseries of events at the NationalMuseum of the U.S. Navy, Sept.10.

The museum events in themorning and afternoon gave visi-tors a glimpse of Navy life duringthe War of 1812 and treated themto guided tours and introducedthem to one of the more famousfigures of the time. Later in theevening, The Naval HistoricalFoundation offered guests athoughtful retrospective withmusic, a look at Navy war gamesand a discourse on the Battle ofLake Erie by Vice Adm. MichelleHoward, Deputy CNO forOperations, Plans, And Strategy.

The Battle of Lake Erie was apivotal point in the War of 1812.Oliver Hazard Perry's victory overthe British naval squadron duringthe battle allowed the UnitedStates to take control of part ofBritish-controlled Canada to useas a bargaining chip to secure con-cessions from England regardingviolations of neutral trade.

Howard spoke to the assembledguests as she reminisced aboutthe time of the war.

"We started our own commemo-ration of the War of 1812 over 18months ago, said Howard. Thinkabout where we were six seasonspast, and how much has changedin our lives. Had we been fellowcitizens of the Madison's we wouldhave been recovering from theburning down of Washington, theloss of U.S. ships and lives to theBritish in battle and a humiliat-ing surrender by our Army in thegreat lakes region. Ten Septemberwas a salve to the American spir-it."

While she readily admits the vic-tory that Perry won was a greatone for both the Navy and the

American morale, she alsobelieves that in terms of skill,Sailors of today far outstripPerry's crews.

"I think I'm pretty darn lucky,said Howard. Let's not look atPerry the officer, but Perry thecaptain of his crew. He literallyhad a motley crew. I think thatwhat we have today, that Perrydidn't have, is professionalSailors, with a war fighting ethosand a high level of competenceand skill sets."

Howard points to the relation-ship between the British and thenative Americans and how it issimilar to relationships we havetoday with foreign allies.

"They live in the area and con-flict will impact their family andlives. If our friends lose their ter-ritory there is no place to fall backto. Conflict to that home teammeans the risk of losing theircountry, winning the conflict istied to their survival."

The museum events began in themorning with Naval History andHeritage Command curatorEdward Furgol giving visitors atour of the museum's newestexhibit "1813:Don't Give Up TheShip!" The exhibit features manyscenes and armaments of the lakebattles including the Battle ofLake Erie.

The Ships Company and ShipsCompany Chantymen entertainedvisitors with a selection ofchanteys from the time period andlet them participate as theyshowed the process of loading oneof the real cannons in the muse-um's replica of the USSConstitution's gun deck.

"Our purpose is preserve navalheritage through living history,"said Tom Pyzatk, a Ship'sCompany performer. "The muse-um was kind enough to invite ushere today."

One of the visitors was particu-larly impressed by the cannonloading and firing process.

"I'm from Ohio so the battle waskind of close to home," said

By MC1 Tim Comerford,

Naval History and Heritage Command

Communication Outreach Division

Katherine Ball, a museum visitor."I've been to the lake and lookedat stuff with my parents. I knowthe story so it was really neat toget to see it and experience itfirsthand. I liked the cannondemonstration because I got tojoin in on it. So it was a lot of fun."

Visitors were also given thechance to listen in on a lectureabout the momentous battle byhistorian Charles Brodine. One ofthe details of the battle he dis-cussed surprised Bell as well.

"I didn't realize how sick every-one was on the British ships." Bellsaid. "I thought it was a battle,and everyone was just there andready to go. But, no, it wasn't thatway at all."

During the early events, a his-toric portrayal of Dolly Madison,first lady to fourth presidentJames Madison, mingled with vis-itors adding her own, unique,viewpoint on the War of 1812 andgiving commentary about the peo-ple and culture of those times.

"Like any war, Dolly approachedit with a sense of trepidation, butwith fierce patriotism," LeeJamison said while giving the liv-ing history performance as JamesMadison. "Though she was raiseda Quaker she believes that whenyou are pressed into a corner andfind yourself assailed you shouldbe an advocate for fighting. Wehad established ourselves,claimed our sovereignty and shevery much felt that we should doanything it took to maintainthat."

The night ended with theColonial Music Company giving apoignant performance of musicfrom the 1800s on violin, guitarand harpsichord as guests tookpart in a game of chance andstrategy playing as either theBritish squadron or the Americansquadron in the Battle of LakeErie war game.

7panoramapanoramaSeptembeR 13, 2013Keep What you've earned Campaign marksSignificant decrease in alcohol incidents

If you are the victim of a crime, reportthe incident to Security Dispatch at

081-568-5638.

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

The Navy Alcohol and DrugAbuse Prevention (NADAP) Officeannounced Sept. 9 that alcoholincidents among Sailors decreased51 percent from Memorial Daythrough Labor Day compared tothe same period last year.

"This decrease shows Sailors aretaking ownership of this issue,"said Rear Adm. Sean Buck, direc-tor of the 21st Century SailorOffice. "As with all our programs,we look to Sailors to make respon-sible choices in their personal andprofessional lives."

The decrease followed NADAP'slaunch of the Keep What You'veEarned Campaign, which pro-motes responsible drinking byreminding Sailors how much theyhave to lose.

"We had more than 700 feweralcohol incidents during the well-known '101 Days of Summer' thisyear, and about one in four ofthose incidents were related todriving under the influence," saidDorice Favorite, director ofNADAP. "Our work isn't done, butthese numbers show that Sailorsare making responsible choicesregarding their use of alcohol andcontributing to a safer and moreproductive fleet."

Favorite attributed the cam-

paign's success to grassroots sup-port from the regional and locallevels.

"The Navy Region Mid Atlanticwas a huge supporter of our KeepWhat You've Earned campaignthis summer," said Favorite."They hosted Memorial DayWeekend send-off events at sixinstallations and rallied morethan 650 Sailors together tomarch in support of responsibledrinking during the Fourth ofJuly liberty weekend."

Other Keep What You've Earnedsummer safety events took placeat Naval Base San Diego, NavalStation Great Lakes, NavalShipyard Kittery, Naval BaseKitsap, and the Washington NavyYard.

In addition to these events,NADAP partnered with the NavalSafety Center's "Live to Play, Playto Live" Summer SafetyCampaign. Together they encour-aged Sailors and Navy personnelto take an online pledge to practiceresponsible drinking habits thissummer. Hundreds of Sailors tookthe pledge, promising to planahead for a safe ride home, not tryto "keep up" with others, and toknow their limit, before they gotthere.

Responses from Sailors regard-ing why they pledged to drinkresponsibly included:

"I don't want to lose my careerand future just because of anirresponsible drinking decision."

"I want my fellow shipmates toknow that they have a good lib-erty buddy dedicated to theirsafety if a DD is needed."

"I have worked too long and toohard to get to where I am today."

"My life is more important thana bottle of beer."

"The consequences of not drink-ing responsibly are worse thanany hangover."

NADAP will continue to promotethe Keep What You've Earnedcampaign year-round, releasingnew testimonial videos through-out the coming months. NADAPencourages Navy leadership andalcohol abuse prevention person-nel to stay tuned to the NADAPFacebook page for the latest newson campaign resources and devel-opments: https://www.facebook.com/USN.NADAP.

SeptembeR 13, 201310

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA),Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS)Operational Test Agency, JointFunctional Component Command forIntegrated Missile Defense, and U.S.Pacific Command, in conjunction withU.S. Army soldiers from the AlphaBattery, 2nd Air Defense ArtilleryRegiment, U.S. Navy sailors aboard theguided missile destroyer USS Decatur(DDG-73), and U.S. Air Force airmenfrom the 613th Air and OperationsCenter successfully conducted a complexmissile defense flight test, resulting inthe intercept of two medium-range ballis-tic missile targets. The flight test wasplanned more than a year ago, and is notin any way connected to events in theMiddle East.The test was conducted in the vicinity of

the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/ReaganTest Site and surrounding areas in thewestern Pacific. The test stressed theability of the Aegis Ballistic MissileDefense (BMD) and Terminal HighAltitude Area Defense (THAAD) weaponsystems to function in a layered defensearchitecture and defeat a raid of twonear-simultaneous ballistic missile tar-gets.The two medium-range ballistic missile

targets were launched on operationallyrealistic trajectories towards a defendedarea near Kwajalein. Along with over-head space assets providing launch

alerts, an Army-Navy/TransportableRadar Surveillance and Control(AN/TPY-2) radar in Forward BasedMode detected the targets and relayedtrack information to the Command,Control, Battle Management, andCommunications (C2BMC) system forfurther transmission to defending BMDSassets.The USS Decatur with its Aegis Weapon

System detected and tracked the firsttarget with its onboard AN/SPY-1 radar.The Aegis BMD weapon system devel-oped a fire control solution, launched aStandard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IA mis-sile, and successfully intercepted the tar-get.In a demonstration of BMDS layered

defense capabilities, a second AN/TPY-2radar in Terminal Mode, located with theTHAAD weapon system, acquired andtracked the target missiles. THAADdeveloped a fire control solution,launched a THAAD interceptor missile,and successfully intercepted the secondmedium-range ballistic missile target.THAAD was operated by soldiers fromthe Alpha Battery, 2nd Air DefenseArtillery Regiment. As a planned demon-stration of THAAD's layered defensecapabilities, a second THAAD interceptorwas launched at the target destroyed byAegis as a contingency in the event theSM-3 did not achieve an intercept.Initial indications are that all compo-

nents performed as designed. MDA offi-cials will extensively assess and evaluate

system performance based upon teleme-try and other data obtained during thetest.The event, a designated Flight Test

Operational-01 (FTO-01), demonstratedintegrated, layered, regional missiledefense capabilities to defeat a raid oftwo threat-representative medium-rangeballistic missiles in a combined live-fireoperational test. Soldiers, sailors, and

airmen from multiple combatant com-mands operated the systems, and wereprovided a unique opportunity to refineoperational doctrine and tactics whileincreasing confidence in the execution ofintegrated air and missile defense plans.U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System

programs have completed 62 successfulhit-to-kill intercepts in 78 flight testattempts since 2001.

This summer, my familyand I visited lots of coolplaces on mainland Italy,but my favorite trip wasspending plenty of qualitybeach time in Sicily, specif-ically the beaches the east-ern side of Sicily. Just south of Taormina on

the eastern side of Sicilia,is a city called GiardiniNaxos; the first Greekcolony in Sicily foundedaround the 734 A.D. This isa beautiful beach townwith a lot of restaurantsand nice beaches. Anotherfun place to visit is theAlcantara Gorge, a canyonriver which was made byold Mount Etna eruptions. The wateris ice cold, but it feels good in the hotSicilian sun. And if you are brave, youcan go river hiking as well. Definitelythe coolest spot we visited is a smalltown called Aci Trezza, which is nearCatania, and also called the Land ofCyclops. Homer wrote in the Iliadthat Ulysses was attacked there by agiant Cyclops. His name wasPolyphemus, and according to thestory his one eye was burned byUlysses and he threw big rockstowards Ulysses ship as he was try-ing to escape. Those big rocks arestill there today, called the CyclopeanIslands, in the sea right off the coast.The biggest one is called Lachea. Aci Trezza is also known for a sum-

mer sweet ice cream called granitaSiciliana, which you can eat with abrioche, a sweet bread that you dip inthe granita. Or if you want, you can

put the granita in the center of thebrioche (that is what I do). I likestrawberry granita the best. Anothergreat thing to eat in Sicily is arancini,which is a fried rice ball with meat,tomatoes, and cheese inside. Some ofthem are made with nutella too-molto buono!

Ready Navy is a proactive Navywide emer-gency preparedness, public awareness program.It is designed for the Navy community, toincrease the ability of every person and family

on or near Navy installations to meet today'schallenges head on and plan and prepare for alltypes of hazards, ranging from hurricanes andearthquakes to terrorist attacks. By exploringthe links on the Ready Navy site, you will: be informed of potential hazards and what to

do before, during, and after an emergency, understand the steps to make an emergency

plan that includes what to do, where to go, andwhat to take with you,

School season is upon us. One of thebiggest concerns among would-be fashion-savvy teens is, well, fashion. Most parentstote along the entire family and spendhours wasting away in major store chains.While trying to find something that is notonly affordable, but considered cool bytheir peers at school. One way to haveyour proverbial cake and eat it too is to trythrift shops and yard sales. I know the tipcan send most trendy teens running forthe hills, but there is much winning to behad here. The thing about second-hand

stores or yard sales is that the product inquestion has already made whatever envi-ronmental and energy impact it is going tomake during its creation. Second hand clothing gets a chance to

serve on for another few years. Thats afew more years it gets to stay out of ourever growing trash flow. They are nor-mally already broken in if they havebeen worn a few times before you getthem. Not to mention your options withsecond hand clothing are virtually end-less. This will give your aspiring fashionguru a chance to create something new tobring to school versus following thecrowd. The biggest plus is most of thetime second hand clothing can be had fornext to nothing, if not free (music to aparents ears). So instead of energy wast-ed in creating new items, we can reusethe existing ones.

Today's Marines in combat are our modern-dayBand of Brothers.

Band of Brothers was made famous by StephenSpielberg's and Tom Hanks 2001 10-part HBO tel-evision miniseries, and based on a book written byhistorian and biographer Stephen E. Ambrose, astory about a U.S. Army elite paratrooper unit inWorld War II.

These Band of Brothers were men of EasyCompany of the 506th Parachute InfantryRegiment, 101st Airborne Division. They formedtogether a band of brothers, a brotherhood of theirshared experiences from basic training in 1942 atCamp Toccoa, Georgia to D-Day in June of 1944,and their ultimate triumph at the end of WorldWar II.

Band of Brothers, or brothers-in-arms, shared adifficult, dangerous, traumatic, and stressful expe-rience in battle, losing their fellow brothers-in-arms in combat. Those who know the true mean-ing of brotherhood lived it each and every day,establishing a special bond, which binds themtogether for the rest of their lives.

This brotherhood experience occurred during abittersweet reunion of a small band of 18 CampLejeune Marines of Charlie Company, 1st

Battalion, 2nd Ma -rine Regiment, 2ndMarine Division, IIMarine Expedit io -nary Force at Ar -lington Nat ional Ce -metery on a beautifulspring mor ning,April 1, 2011.

Charlie CompanyMarines gathered together to pay homage, respect,and honor their two fallen brothers, Lance Cpl.Tyler Owen Griffin, of Voluntown, Conn., andLance Cpl. Kevin Michael Cornelius, of Ashtabula,Ohio, who gave their lives while supporting combatoperations in Afghanistan. The Camp LejeuneMarines were joined by the families, friends, andloved ones of Griffin and Cornelius. They talkedand exchanged their shared memories and lifeexperiences that brought them together.

May we never forget Griffins and Cornelius' finalacts of bravery and their fulfillment of their dutiesto serve with honor, courage, and commitment.Their ultimate sacrifices and love for our flag, ourcountry, their comrades-in-arms, their faith inGod, their friends and families will forever beenshrined in our nation's citizens proud and grate-ful hearts.

Continued from Page 1WE REMEMBERGray acknowledged the courage of the victims

aboard the hijacked planes used in the assaultsand the dedication of military members who pro-tect and defend America at any cost. The events of 9/11 are why we do what we do,

Gray said of the militarys dedication to protect-ing the country. We recognize in [the victims]sacrifice their resolve, why we salute them,why we pull together no matter what the cost. Hundreds attended the event, including

American and Italian firefighters and military

service members, to show their respects duringthe ceremony. Many, who attended, took theopportunity to reflect on what the anniversary ofSept. 11 meant to them and how it affected theirlives and country years following. Personnel Specialist (AW) 2nd Class James

Jones said he believed Americans becamestronger after the emotional and devastatingtragedies, which lead to a greater unificationacross the country. To find the courage to put our differences aside

and lend a hand to our brothers and sisters thatwere affected in a time of need is a testament tohow great our nation truly is, he said. 9/11 is aday I shall never forget.
