The Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas (CFC-O), theannual workplace giving campaign for the five overseasunified combatant commands, kicked off September 21.The campaign, which closes in two months, provides uni-

formed and civilian Department of Defense (DOD) employ-ees serving overseas with an opportunity to extend theirservice by giving to their favorite charities.The theme of the 2015 CFC-O campaign is “Give because

you care.” This theme underscores the importance of passion in char-

itable giving. This is especially fitting for the CFC-O be-cause, with more than 2,600 national and internationalcharities in the CFC-O charity listing, contributors aresure to find a cause that is close to their hearts. Furthermore, for the second consecutive year, the Office of

Personnel Management has authorized Universal Giving,which expands contributors’ giving options to pledge to anyof the CFC local charities across the United States. Thecomplete, searchable charity list is available online by vis-iting: cfcoverseas.org. Contributors also have the option to give to the overseas

military community through the Family Support and YouthProgram (FSYP) fund. FSYP donations are returned tooverseas military installations and invested in quality oflife programs for uniformed service members, Federal civil-ians and their families.Pledging through the CFC-O gives those serving overseas

a chance to extend their service and touch the lives of peo-ple in military communities, across the nation and aroundthe world. Charities depend upon the generosity of CFC-Ocontributors to give help and hope to those in need, soplease plan to participate in this year's campaign.

4th Century Samnite Tomb Found at PompeiiAn exceptionally rare Samnite tomb dating to the4th century B.C. was found in the necropolis ofPorta Ercolano, a burial ground outside Pompeii,northwest from the famous Villa of the Mysteries.Archaeologists from the Jean Berard Center ofNaples were exploring the site of a pottery pro-duction complex they’d been excavating for thepast four years as part of a research project focus-ing on artisanship and the economy of Pompeii.While digging the area, they unearthed the graveof an adult woman about 35-40 years old. Shewas buried with about 10 vases and urns whichcame from other regions of Italy and it revealedthe extent of trade between the Samnites at Pom-peii and other areas across the country. The con-tents of the jars will be analyzed in the weeks tocome, but it is thought to contain cosmetics, wineand food. Excavations are ongoing and archaeolo-gists hope to find other Samnite-era gravesaround the newly discovered one.

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFSCOMPILED BY TERESA MEROLANSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS


NAVY HISTORY: WORLD’S FIRST NUCLEAR-POWERED SUB COMMISSIONED

The Nautilus (SSN 571) entering New York harbor, August 25, 1958. Nautilus had recently made a trans-polarvoyage under the Arctic. Photo courtesy of the Navy Arctic Submarine Laboratory

For the cost of a laptop today,the Navy’s nuclear propulsionprogram began 76 years ago.It could only have been a Navy

physicist who upon observingthe energy created by the split-ting of uranium atoms, wouldalso wonder if that could beused for propulsion at sea. Itwas in 1939 when Naval Rese-arch Laboratory (NRL) scien-tists met to determine if a“fission chamber” could gene-rate steam to operate a turbineto propel a submarine. Dr. RossGunn, head of the Mechanicsand Electricity Division, askedfor $1,500 to pay for initial rese-arch. The funds were approved,and so began the Navy’s nuclearfission program.The research took a back seat

in 1942 when members of NRL’snuclear program assisted withthe Manhattan Project thatwould unleash the power of nu-clear fission in the form of theatom bombs that would endWorld War II.After the war, work on a nu-

clear propulsion system resumedin 1946 when then-Capt. HymanG. Rickover, an engineering offi-cer, joined the post-war Manhat-tan Project’s power reactorprogram at Oak Ridge, Tennes-see.Rickover had a reputation as

an “acerbic” personality, but alsothe determination to bulldozethrough bureaucracy. He berateda team of scientists at the AtomicEnergy Commission’s GeneralAdvisory Committee in Sept.1946 after they determined itwould be 20 years before therecould be a demonstration of ato-mic power for practical uses.A January 9, 1947, report to

Chief of Naval Operations Che-ster W. Nimitz stated submari-nes capable of operatingsubmerged for unlimited pe-riods could be possible by themid-1950s, “provided nuclearpower is made available for sub-marine propulsion.”The report was approved by Ni-

mitz the following day. Rickoveroversaw design of a nuclear-pro-pelled submarine, and Congressapproved it in the Fiscal Year

1952 shipbuilding program. Pre-sident Harry S. Truman wouldsign the keel for the future USSNautilus on June 14, 1952. Ric-kover had been involved for amere six years.The one of the biggest deci-

sions with Nautilus was notthat she would be powered bynuclear energy, but whether tomake her an experimental,unarmed test vehicle or a fullyoperational warship. On Jan.21, 1954, the massive 319-footsubmarine with a 28-foot beamwas launched with a crack of achampagne bottle wielded byFirst Lady Mamie Eisenhower.Nautilus was built for both com-fort and speed.Accommodations included 2

and 3-berth staterooms for the12 officers, a single room for thecaptain, and a wardroom. Forthe more than 90 enlisted men,each had their own rack, a messthat could seat 36 of the crew, orup to 50 for movies and lectures.A juke-box was hooked to theboat’s hi-fi system, along withan ice cream machine and sodadispenser. Better yet, the nu-

By Lt. Cmdr. Benjamin Amdur

clear-powered system wouldprovide unlimited fresh waterand air conditioning.The business end of Nautilus

featured six torpedo tubes andcarried 26 torpedoes. She wasalso outfitted with auxiliary die-sel generators and a battery to“bring home” the boat if neededNautilus was commissioned on

September 30, 1954, at a pier-side ceremony at the ElectricBoat Shipyard in Connecticut.At 11 a.m. Jan. 17, 1955, Nauti-lus moved from the pier, andshortly afterward, Nautilus’commanding officer, Cmdr. Eu-gene P. Wilkinson, ordered thefollowing signal sent: “Under-way on nuclear power.”Nautilus would achieve a num-

ber of firsts during sea trials, in-cluding the fastest submergedtransit undertaken by a subma-rine: 90 hours from New London,Conn., to San Juan, Puerto Ricoat an average speed of 16 knots(the previous record for thatspeed had been for a single hour).In exercises and war games

with the fleet, Nautilus was ne-arly invincible. She could easilymaneuver to either close on anenemy or escape one, all whileremaining submerged. And shecould outrun many of theNavy’s destroyers and all of theanti-submarine homing torpe-does at that time.Refueled four times during her

25 years in commission, Nauti-lus would sail more than a half-million nautical miles, most ofthem submerged. In 1958, Nau-tilus completed a secret missionrequested by President DwightD. Eisenhower to prove Ameri-can technology had not taken abackseat to the Soviet spaceprogram. In a mission calledOperation Sunshine, the nu-clear-powered submarine pas-sed under the North Pole on

Aug. 3, 1958 – the first water-craft to reach the geographic“top” of the world – during a tripfrom Pearl Harbor to Englandand under the Soviet’s collectivenoses through the Bering Strait.Nautilus and her crew earned

the Presidential Unit Citation(PUC), the first-ever awarded inpeace time. Her commanding of-ficer, Capt. William R. Ander-son, was whisked away from Nautilus when she resurfaced

near Iceland, brought to a WhiteHouse ceremony, where Eisenho-wer would announce the successof Operation Sunshine. The pre-sident then presented Andersonwith a Legion of Merit to go withhis crew’s PUC.Nautilus’ first deployment was

with the Sixth Fleet in the Medi-terranean Sea, departing fromNew London Oct. 24, 1960. Uponher return, she operated in theAtlantic, participating in NATOexercises and in Oct. 1962, thenaval quarantine of Cuba duringthe Cuban Missile Crisis.For the next 13 years, she

would be involved in a variety ofdevelopmental testing programswhile continuing to serve alon-gside many of the more modernnuclear-powered submarines.Decommissioned and stricken

from the Navy rolls in 1980,Nautilus’ future was assuredwhen the Secretary of the Inte-rior designated the submarineas a National Historic Lan-dmark May 20, 1982.After a historic ship conver-

sion, Nautilus opened to the pu-blic April 11, 1986, to continueher service as an example of theNavy’s pioneering role in har-nessing nuclear power, as thefirst in a fleet of nuclear-powe-red ships, and as steward of theAmerican submarine force’s re-putation for and history of ope-rational excellence.

A loss of electrical power, heat, air-conditioning, run-ning water can bring inconvenience or life threateningsituations for most of us. Without electricity you mayexperience a shortage of food and clean water, as wellas extreme temperatures. You should be prepared tomanage without power for an extended period of time.Power outages can occur for any number of reasons.

How to Prepare for a Power Outage● Be informed on schedule and unscheduled power

outages.●Make a family emergency plan. ● Back up computer files regularly. ●Keep your car tank full because gas stations rely

on electricity to power their pumps. ●Keep a key to your house with you if you regularly

use an electronic garage door opener to enter yourhome. ● Know where the manual release lever of your

electric garage door opener is located and how tooperate it. ●Know where the manual release lever of your elec-

tric gate is located and how to operate it and that it’sin working order. ● Build an emergency kit. ●Make sure you have flashlights and batteries. ●Make sure you have a battery-operated radio. ● Stockpile plenty of nonperishable food and bottled

water. ●Keep at least cash in small denominations to pro-

vide you with a means of purchasing needed itemswhen credit card machines and automated teller ma-chines (ATMs) do not operate without power.

What to Do If There Is a Power Outage●Use flashlights rather than candles for light. ● Turn off the electrical equipment you were using

when the power went out. ● Eliminate unnecessary travel, especially by car as

traffic signals will stop working during an outage andaccidents may occur. ● Remember that ATMs and elevators may not work

during a power outage. ●Drink and use bottled, boiled, or treated water.

Water purification systems may not be working whenthe power goes out, so water may be unsafe to use. ●Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh, cool

Heating Tips for Base HousingENERGY CONSERVATION

From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Crime Report for Sept.15 - 22From the NSA Naples Command Investigative Division and NCIS

As the fall and winter sea-sons approach the tempera-ture outside will begin todrop. Heating and cooling sys-tems make up approximately48 percent of the average house-hold’s utility bills. When the installation switches

to heating system, the residentsof base housing can help reduceenergy consumption by applying thefollowing tips this winter:● Set your thermostat as low as is com-

fortable in the winter and lower the set point when you'resleeping or away from home.● Request to have air filters replaced or cleaned once a

month or as recommended through the housing troubledesk.● Ensure that the air vents in your house are not blocked

by furniture or décor. ● During the winter, keep the draperies and shades on

your south-facing windows open during the day to allowthe sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to re-duce the chill you may feel from cold windows.


There will be changes to the wayeveryone receives their personal mailin the near future.Currently, each command has desig-

nated personnel as Unit Mail Order-lies. These individuals are responsiblefor picking up mail at the Capo postoffice and delivering it to the individ-uals within their command. With the implementation of address

standardization by the United StatesPostal Service (USPS) and Depart-ment of Defense (DOD), each individ-ual is required to have their ownphysical mailbox and not share a sin-gle box number. With the completion of the Postal

Service Center or mail room in Bldg.450 everyone that receives mail atCapo will have a physical mail recep-tacle assigned to them. Mail orderlies will be notified ap-

proximately one week in advance ofbeing moved to the new facility. Eachindividual in the command will come

by the new the facility with a copy oftheir orders to receive their box com-bination and sign the Postal memo-randum outlining what can and can’tbe received in their receptacle.Once the receptacle is assigned the

mail orderly will no longer pick uppersonal letters and packages for in-dividuals within their command.Each member will be required tocheck their mail receptacle to receivemail. Letters and package slips will be

placed in the mail receptacles for youto retrieve at Bldg. 450. Packages willbe kept at the Capo post office foreveryone to pick up. Packages will be available for pick

up from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondaythrough Friday. All customers willhave 24-hour access to their mail re-ceptacle. Starting Oct. 1, OCONUS FPO cus-

tomers wishing to mail packages tothe Continental United States(CONUS), Europe, and Asia are en-couraged to complete a customs form

online before they bring the item to apost office for mailing.The new program will require cus-

toms forms information for packagesmailed from the post office to be en-tered into the U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection (USCBP) database.Customers will benefit from this pro-cedure because tracking capabilitieswill be increased at each handoff ofthe mail. Customers will be able to track their

mail from origin to destination withadditional updates in-between. Fillingout the customs forms online andbringing them to the post office savestime in line because it only requiresthe scanning of a barcode on the cus-toms form. Customers without an electronic

printed custom form can expect alengthy wait (as can other customersin line) while their data is manuallyinput into the Point of Sale retail ter-minal. Post Offices will provide headof the line privileges during lunchhours and high peak holiday mailing

seasons. This will provide for speedyservice to continue in the FPO lob-bies. Postal customers can complete their

customs forms online atwww.usps.com under the “E-Customs”when they click the link titled “Com-plete Customs Forms.” Online cus-toms forms are also available underthe Click-N-Ship option. Please con-tact the local Post Office for more in-formation on how to prepare yourelectronic USP Customs form.Remember: alcohol is not allowed to

be shipped in the military postal sys-tem.Additionally, sending or receiving

items through the MPS to advertisehome businesses, to sell merchandise,or to conduct business or for commer-cial purposes is prohibited. This re-sale prohibition applies whether saleis to authorized MPS users or not,and regardless of the beneficiary ofthe proceeds; i.e., charitable organiza-tions or non-appropriated welfarefund activities.

nary action during thethree years preceding ap-plication for admission.Packages will not be re-viewed without the com-manding officer’sendorsement.The process of application

to USNA can seem daunt-ing while serving yourcountry. It is highly recom-mended to seek out a men-tor at your command,especially one who at-tended USNA. Mentors can guide and

help articulate why the in-dividual wants to attendUSNA in preparation forthe interviews needed forthe CO’s endorsement,which stands in place of thenomination.“It was definitely huge

having an officer mentorhelp me through theprocess,” Midshipman FirstClass Andrew Whisner, aformer enlisted hospitalcorpsman, said. “My execu-tive officer was a USNAgraduate, and he went asfar as to help me finish thelast pieces of my applica-tion that I couldn’t physi-cally do myself while I wasdeployed to Afghanistan.Chances are there is anacademy graduate at yourcommand.”Beyond academics and

military bearing, physicalfitness is a top priority atUSNA.Applicants are required to

possess outstanding physi-cal fitness, as determinedby the Candidate FitnessAssessment and recentcommand Physical FitnessAssessments. “Everyone is in shape here

at the academy,” Midship-man First Class AnnaWade, a prior enlisted MassCommunication Specialist,said. “My time period be-fore getting ready to comehere was a lot of physicaltraining. I knew I wasgoing to be pitted againstpeople four years youngerthan myself, and I knew Iwanted to be in bettershape than I was at thetime. I would suggest toanyone to do an honest self-assessment and make theimprovements you need to.”Changing from a military-

focused environment to anacademic-focused one canbe a challenge. Applicants are encouraged

to enroll in college coursesin higher math and sciencewhile at their command inorder to strengthen theiradmission application andto help them adapt to anacademic environment. “A major challenge for en-

listed and reservists is

transitioning back to an ac-ademic environment," ChiefLogistics Specialist MaximoRegino, coordinator forUSNA Fleet Naval Acad-emy Preparatory School(NAPS), said. “Often theyhave to attend the NavalAcademy PreparatorySchool, and the environ-ment of NAPS replicatesthat of USNA. We knowthese service members areout in the fleet training,performing and focused ontheir mission. NAPS is hereto encourage the transition.I would tell potential candi-dates take a college-levelmathematics or sciencecourse to get yourself backinto the academic groove.”Up to 170 regular and re-

serve personnel may be ap-pointed to USNA each year.The experience they bringto the Brigade of Midship-men is invaluable.“Our prior [enlisted] mid-

shipmen provide a uniqueand important perspective.They are able to relate les-sons from the fleet back towhat they are doing here atthe academy and they areable to convey those lessonsto their fellow midship-men,” Col. Steve Liszewski,commandant of midship-men, said. “One of the rea-sons I am a Marine today isbecause I had a squadleader during Plebe Sum-mer who had been a priorenlisted Marine. His inspi-rational leadership and theexample that he set helpedguide my decision to be-come a Marine.”The four years at USNA

are challenging in order todevelop midshipmenmorally, mentally andphysically. For enlistedcandidates who are ac-cepted the change can be ahumbling experience. “You’ve been in two years,

made rank and now you arecoming to USNA and you’retaking orders from a secondyear midshipman who hasno [fleet] experience. It’shard for a lot of ‘priors,’”Whisner said. “You mighthave more fleet experience,but that individual hasmore academy experienceand that’s what mattershere. I see people strugglewith that pride. This is avery humbling place andyou have to adapt or youwon’t make it.”The deadline to apply to

the Class of 2020 is Decem-ber 31, 2015. The deadlinefor all completed applica-tion documents is January31, 2016. Individuals inter-ested in applying can find alist of needed resources atwww.usna.edu/Admissions/

With the recent release ofALNAV 065/15, the UnitedStates Naval Academy(USNA) is now acceptingmotivated Sailors andMarines, active and re-serve, for admission to theClass of 2020. Successful candidates will

be top-quality Sailors andMarines with a competitive

Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, the senior Penta-gon official in attendance, presided over the event.Carter spoke of the Navy’s many accomplishments dur-ing Greenert’s tenure.“With Adm. Greenert standing the watch, America’s

Sailors and Marines have been where it matters, whenit matters – rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific, where muchof America’s future will be written; reinforcing our long-standing NATO allies; supporting our forces ashore inthe turbulent Middle East; and providing humanitarianassistance and disaster relief the world over, in a waythat only America can and does do,” Carter said.Before concluding, Carter’s remarks turned to the fu-

ture, adding “Continuing and building on all this workwill be critical going forward, and Adm. John Richard-son was a clear choice to carry it out.”During the ceremony, Richardson took the podium to

thank Greenert and his wife Darleen. “To have the chance to work with Adm. Greenert – to

have he and Darleen as friends and mentors, is likebeing an immediate family member.”The new CNO briefly discussed his worldview and the

optimism he has for the future. “I think that deep in our guts we sense a shift in the

world, and we sense that once again it will be vitally im-portant to protect our interests on the seas,” Richardsonsaid. “As an American and as your CNO, I am very opti-mistic. Because this is exactly the environment in whichAmericans thrive, and we will thrive.”In his farewell speech, Greenert, after four years as

CNO and 40 years of honorable service as a Naval offi-cer, thanked those who served with him during histenure, his friends, family and the men and womenserving in the U.S. Navy.“People are this country’s asymmetric advantage,”

Greenert said. “We talk a lot about the Sailors, but it’salso the civilians – It’s also the families. It’s great Amer-ican willing to do the job. They are our advantage.”Greenert also praised his successor.“Challenges remain, but we have the right team,”

Greenert said. “Adm. Richardson has all that it takes,but he also has what it takes, and that is Dana [hiswife], and they are ready to meet those challenges.”

Leaf color comes from pigments. Pig-ments are natural substances pro-duced by leaf cells. The threepigments that color leaves are:● Chlorophyll (green) ● Carotenoid (yellow, orange,

and brown) ●Anthocyanin (red) Chlorophyll is the most im-

portant of the three. With-out the chlorophyll in leaves,trees wouldn’t be able to usesunlight to produce food.Carotenoids create bright yel-

lows and oranges in familiar fruitsand vegetables. Corn, carrots, and bananasare just a few of the many plants colored bycarotenoid.Anthocyanins add the color red to plants,

including cranberries, red apples, cherries,strawberries and others.Chlorophyll and carotenoid are in leaf cells

all the time during the growing season. Butthe chlorophyll covers the carotenoid –that’s why summer leaves are green, notyellow or orange. Most anthocyanins areproduced only in autumn, and only undercertain conditions. Not all trees can makeanthocyanin.

How do leaves change color?As the Earth makes its 365-day journey

around the sun, some parts of the planetwill get fewer hours of sunlight at certaintimes of the year. In those regions, the daysbecome shorter and the nights get longer.The temperature slowly drops. Autumn

comes, and then winter.Trees respond to the decreasing amount of

sunlight by producing less and lesschlorophyll. Eventually, a tree stopsproducing chlorophyll. When thathappens, the carotenoid already in

the leaves can finally showthrough. The leaves become

a bright rainbow of glowingyellows, sparkling oranges,

warm browns and, in some trees,brilliant reds.

Why do leaves fall?A tree’s roots, branches and twigs can en-

dure freezing temperatures, but most leavesare not so tough. On a broadleaf tree – say amaple or a birch – the tender thin leaves,made up of cells filled with water sap, willfreeze in winter. Any plant tissue unable tolive through the winter must be sealed offand shed to ensure the tree’s survival.As sunlight decreases in autumn, the veins

that carry sap into and out of a leaf gradu-ally close. A layer of cells, called the separa-tion layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem.When this layer is complete, the leaf is sepa-rated from the tissue that connected it tothe branch, and it falls. Oak leaves are theexception. The separation layer never fullydetaches the dead oak leaves, and they re-main on the tree through winter.On the ground, fallen leaves are broken

down by bacteria, fungi, earthworms andother organisms. The decomposed leaves re-stock the soil with nutrients, and becomepart of the spongy humus layer on the forestfloor that absorbs and holds rainfall. In na-ture, nothing goes to waste.
