The Coastline - Oct. 22, 2015

Six Sailors work around the clock ensuring all the computers located throughout Naval Station Rota are secure and virus-free. These hard-working men and women make up the Cyber Security Division at Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station (NCTAMS) Atlantic Detachment Rota.

“We monitor everybody to make sure they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” said Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Martin Gasca, the information systems security officer. “We don’t want them to cause harm to our equipment or information systems.”

There are a variety of threats online, but according to Gasca, the biggest one is over-sharing. He believes people give out too much personal information on social media and this can end up having harmful consequences. Another big threat are vulnerabilities like viruses, such as the Heartbleed Bug or catfishing, which is luring someone in with a fictional profile, which affects many pre-teens and teens.

The division focuses on different topics every month and October’s is “Stop. Think. Connect.” NCTAMS has been sending out weekly informational e-mails such as how to protect your community and families while always being connected. Sailors have also gone out and set up informational booths outside the Navy Exchange to personally talk to people interested in learning more about cyber security. Additionally, they have been going to David Farragut Glasgow schools to teach students about cyber security risk and protection methods.

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month and the entire division has been putting a larger focus on informing the public, but Gasca believes people should be vigilant every month.

“All year round cyber security is very important,” said Gasca. “Everyone connects online if they have Facebook or not. Some of the older generations may not use the Internet as much, but they still connect. It’s very important to stay secure online or people could potentially steal your information. We’re in the digital age where even the younger kids use the Internet and computers.”

One of the biggest challenges the division faces is spreading awareness about the potential dangers online and how to protect computers, but many of these proactive steps are easier than people think.

“I think the most important steps people could take are the common sense steps, which would be having your anti-virus updated and not overly sharing too much,” said Gasca. “Keep your social media accounts locked so only your friends can see your information. Make sure you watch what you’re doing online. Something as small as locking up your Facebook can help you out a lot.”

Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group Visits RotaThe Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group (ARG)

flagship, USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), pulled into Naval Station Rota for fuel and other supplies, Oct. 18.

The Kearsarge ARG team, comprised of the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), the amphibious dock landing ship USS Oak Hill (LSD 51), the amphibious transport dock ship USS Arlington

(LPD 24), and embarked Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), that deployed from Norfolk, Va. Oct. 6, 2015.

“Our main purpose for stopping into Rota is for Kearsarge to conduct a brief stop for fuel and we’ll also pick up some parts and mail while in port and transfer some personnel to and from the ship,” said Lt. Johnny Stevenson, USS Kearsarge main propulsion assistant. “Sailors and Marines onboard will get a little off-duty time to explore Naval Station Rota and gather some

personal items as well.”While pierside in Rota, Kearsarge took on 500,000

gallons of fuel and took on various food items, general stores and requisitions.

While in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operation (AOR), the Kearsarge ARG and Marines of the 26th MEU will participate in theater security cooperation events and exercises before continuing to the 5th Fleet AOR.

Buenos Dias Team Rota!It has been a very busy two weeks where Team Rota

hosted several high level distinguished visitors (DVs) as well as celebrating our 240th Navy birthday in grand style.

On Oct. 16, we held the 2015 Navy Ball at Gonzalez Byass (Tio Pepe) bodega celebrating our Navy’s 240th birthday. The weather, venue, food, entertainment and company were all fabulous, making for an incredible evening. As marvelous as last year’s celebration was, this event marked the largest Navy Ball associated with Naval Station Rota. There were nearly 700 people at Tio Pepe. The event had representation from all services; Navy, Air Force, Marines, Army, our GS civilians

and retirees, our Spanish Navy and Marine Corps leadership and our Spanish friends from the City Halls of Rota and Jerez. To top off the evening, we had the pleasure of listening to our guest speaker, Vice Adm. James Foggo, commander, 6th Fleet and Strike Forces NATO. His speech interwove our 2015 Navy Ball theme of “Ready Then, Ready Now, Ready Always” with our Spanish/U.S. partnership and friendship. This was truly a special event where our community was able to get together and celebrate our Navy’s birthday.

This year’s Navy Ball Committee, under the leadership of Lt. David Carter and Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman William Hayden, did an extraordinary job and has once again, set the bar higher for next year. I would like to acknowledge and thank our committee members for an amazing affair: Brenda Navarro and Maria Diaz, Navy Ball consultants and Spanish protocol officers; Lt. Amanda Taylor, executive committee advisor; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Staci Pruitt, Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Brian Dietrick, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Brinn Hefron and Interior Communications Electrician 2nd Class Zachary Coon, public affairs; Air Traffic Controller

1st Class Jacob Ruiz and Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Arturo Novela, fund raising; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jason Turgeon and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Lauren Coons, secretaries; Chief Personnel Specialist Forrest Pacitti and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Martha Acuna, treasurers.

I also want to thank and recognize the countless volunteers who spent much of their time and energy to make this experience a reality. There were many people, including our many DVs, who felt this was the best Navy Ball they have ever attended. I also want to thank the staff from Gonzalez Byass for hosting us and for their service. Thank you for an amazing evening!

Halloween is just around the corner. An evening where many of our children will be participating in trick or treating around family housing and where many kids and adults will be daring the Seabee’s haunted house at building 1800 during the weekends. While this is another great opportunity to get together with the community and enjoy our traditional festivities, I want to also stress safety. With daylight savings occurring Sunday at 2 a.m., it will get dark around 6:30 p.m. Please be careful whether you are walking or driving around family housing. There will be several hundred U.S. and Spanish children with their parents out on the streets going door-to-door collecting candy. Bring flashlights and be as lit up as you can while when trick or treating.

Lastly these past two weeks we had seven congressmen and staff personnel from the House Appropriations Committee; House Armed Services Committee; Gen. Darren McDew, commander, U.S. Transportation Command; Vice Adm. James Foggo, commander, 6th Fleet, Maj. Gen. Frederick Martin, Commander, U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center; Maj. Gen. Niel Nelson, commander, Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe-Africa; and Rear Adm. William Galinis, commander, Navy Regional Maintenance Center, visit Naval Station Rota. All of our DVs have remarked about our professionalism, our pride in the base and how well all of our tenant commands work together to take care of the mission and our people. Thank you for your continual support, your teamwork and for taking care of one another. Have a great week and upcoming weekend!

If you have a dog, cat or other furry friend in the family, figuring out what to do with them when you deploy or move can be time-consuming and complicated. Whether you’re taking them with you or leaving them behind, you need to start planning early.

Here are some tips for what you can do when stuck in three difficult situations.

If you’re deploying, training or can’t take care of your pet for the short-term:

Family and friends will sometimes take care of your animals, but they can’t always, or they might not be the right fit. Many organizations provide support through volunteer services to board military pets in foster homes. Some of those organizations include; Pets for Patriots, Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet, Pact for Animals, Loving Paws Inc.

Sometimes permanent change of station orders can be issued abruptly. Regardless of where you’re going, be sure to microchip, photograph and get an identification tag for your pet before you go.

If you’re moving in the U.S.:• Contact the state you’re moving to so you can learn

their pet importation rules. - Make sure to have up-to-date vaccination and health papers.

• If you have to ship your pet, know the regulations.If you’re moving outside the U.S., contact the consulate

or embassy of the country to which you’re moving to find out the specific regulations they have for bringing pets into the country.

Most pets will need:• An International Standards Organization-compatible

microchip (this can be read by most scanners).• Proof of rabies vaccination with the microchip’s

number on it.

Some pets will need:• A Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization (FAVN)

blood test• An import form• Flea and tick preventative• DewormerThese things are time-consuming, and your pet might be

in quarantine for a while. It also might be costly, but there are opportunities for pet relocation financial assistance.

If you’re flying:• Research airline instructions, prices and procedures

for pets before you settle on one.• Before you book, check to see if veterinary airline

employees work weekends. If they don’t, book a weekday flight.

• Pick a flight that’s nonstop or only has one layover. Try to keep the entire trip to less than 12 hours.

• Many pets have to ride in cargo holds that aren’t temperature-regulated. Your pet will need an acclimation letter that specifies the temperatures that are safe for them.

• Buy a crate that meets your airline’s specifications, and give your pet time to get used to it. Have your name, your pet’s name and your new address clearly marked on the crate, and have water bowls and food attached and accessible.

• Verify your pet is listed for the flight at the airport, and be sure to mention it to a crew member once you’re on board, even though they’re probably aware.

If you have to relinquish your pet for good, know it takes time to find a new home that’s right for them. To prepare, take them on one last veterinary trip for a check-up, vaccinations and to make sure they’re spayed/neutered.

First, try to find friends, family or co-workers to take care of your pet. Ask them to ask around, too, so you know your

pet will go to someone trustworthy. Dog trainers and walkers might know of good homes, too.

If you can’t find anyone you know personally, advertise around your neighborhood or through a reputable online website like Petfinder.

Be sure to screen candidates carefully to make sure they’re a good fit and don’t have malicious intent. Do not advertise that your animal is free – that’s just asking for trouble.

Come up with important questions to ask potential adopters. Here are some good examples.

Be sure to share all of your pet’s behaviors, good or bad, including what they have problems with, whether they work well with kids and other pets, what their endearing qualities are, etc.

Contact rescue groups who can find a foster parent to take your pet. This way, you know your pet is going to be in good hands. If you have a purebred pet, or close to it, contact a breed rescue organization to see if they’ll foster it or let you post its adoption information on their website.

If those options don’t work, research animal shelters thoroughly. Visit the kennels, meet the staff and familiarize yourself with their policies. Do they have a big play area for dogs to run? How often do pets get one-on-one time with people?

If you feel uneasy about an adoption applicant or a shelter, go with your gut and make a different decision.

If your pet has bitten or nipped at someone, get a professional behavioral evaluation before giving them away. Also, check state and local laws about the liability that comes with giving a pet away that has a history of aggression.

Lastly, never let your pet into the wild! The chances of their survival are slim, and if they’re not spayed/neutered, it will likely just lead to more unwanted animals being born.

Good luck to you and your pet!

What Pet Owners Should Know When Moving/DeployingBy Katie LangDefense Media Activity


When shopping for windows, use the energy performance labels developed by the National Fenestration Rating Council, as your guide to selecting energy-efficient units. When shopping for windows, insist on windows that carry long warranties against seal failures. When seals fail, moisture forms between the panes and the windows need to be professionally repaired or replaced. Moreover, there is the loss of low-conductivity gas if this window is gas filled.

BRITE Ideas NAVSTA Rota!

As a reminder to all hands, the shipment of alcohol through the U.S. Postal System is unauthorized. Labeling the shipment as "olive oil" or similar makes the offense more egregious.

Not only is it against regulation and can result in a postal offense/loss of postal privileges, it also causes loss/damage of other mail as these items usually break and leak over other items.

Please share this with your family members as we have had official records ruined and other people's personal items damaged as a result of people attempting to ship alcohol through the mail system.

This is the maiden deployment for USS Arlington, which was commissioned on April 6, 2013. Amphibious transport dock ships embark, transport, and land elements of a landing force for a variety of expeditionary warfare missions.

ARGs normally consist of Amphibious Assault ships (LHA or LHD), which are primary landing ships, resembling small aircraft carriers, designed to put troops on hostile shores. In a secondary role, these ships perform sea control and limited power projection missions with AV-8B Harrier aircraft and anti-submarine warfare helicopters.

They also include Amphibious Transport Dock ships (LPD) that embark, transport, and land elements of a landing force for a variety of expeditionary warfare missions.

Lastly, Dock Landing ships (LSD) support amphibious operations including landings onto hostile shores via conventional landing craft and helicopters.

Modern U.S. Navy Amphibious Assault ships project power and maintain presence by serving as the cornerstone of the ARGs and Expeditionary Strike Groups.

The 26th MEU is one of seven that are currently in existence in the United States Marine Corps. The MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force with a strength of about 2,200 personnel. The MEU consists of four major parts: a command element, a ground combat element, an aviation combat element, and a logistics element. MEU missions range from humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to major theater war.

Forty-six swimmers from the Rota Tiburones Swim Club traveled to Lisbon, Portugal to attend their first meet of the season, Oct. 10-11. The swimmers, most of whom attend Davis Glasgow Farragut Elementary, Middle and High Schools, made the six-hour journey to compete against swimmers from Lisbon, Stuttgart and Lakenheath. They came home with several pentathlon medals, and many European Forces Swim League (EFSL) championship qualifying times.

"Rota Swim Club always loves the great opportunity to swim against some other fast teams in Europe,” said coach Gray Young. “We really enjoyed the hospitality from our friends in Lisbon. The swimming really was fast, with five of our swimmers qualifying for championships and three of our swimmers getting on the medal podium in the Pentathlon!”

The following swimmers recorded qualifying times, entitling them to compete in the EFSL Swim Championships in the Netherlands in February:

• Emma Bond - 100 freestyle• John Bozarth - 100 freestyle, 50 breaststroke, 400 freestyle, 50

backstroke, 100 individual medley and 50 freestyle.• Santi Liano-Mock - 100 individual medley, 400 freestyle, 50

freestyle, 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke• Danny Bastidas - 100 freestyle• Gonzalo Rojas - 50 freestyle, 50 breaststrokeIn addition, three swimmers turned up early and also competed in

a long-distance meet on the evening of Oct. 9. This was worthwhile as all three swimmers, Dan Bastidas, Kena Wells and Elizabeth Lamb, all qualified in both the 800 meter and 1500 meter freestyle events.

“I think we did very well this weekend” said Madison Zapf, one of the team captains. “I can feel the team improving every time we compete because the coaches push us hard at practice.”

“We are only in the beginning of the season, so I am looking forward to seeing a lot more fast swimming to come this season.” added Young.

The RSC Tiburones’ next home meet will be at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Aquatics Center on Nov. 7 and 8.

What will people think? What if I fail? I could never say that! What if it doesn’t work? I am petrified of snakes. I hate taking exams. No way, am I going to do

anything different. I couldn’t face them if they knew. What if God doesn’t answer my prayer? I have never done that before! I don’t know if I can. I’d sooner die than.....

What do all these statements have in common? Fear. Fear is something all human beings experience at some point in our lives. Fear can paralyze us and keeps us from reaching our full potential. Fear can denies us a future, a sense of achievement, a needed relief from demons of the past. Fear robs us of peace, mind and soul. Sometimes it disguises itself as shame, embarrassment, worry or self-doubt. However, we recognize it for what it really is.

Too many people walk around masked on the outside and terribly afraid on the inside. Are you one of them? If you won’t admit your fear to someone else, at least begin by admitting it to yourself. What are you afraid of? Why? Are you tired of being afraid? If so, what can you do about it?

The prophet Isaiah reminds us of God’s nearness. “When you pass through the water, I will be with you....when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned....because you are precious in my eyes and glorious, and because I love you.”

Use the strength of God’s love for you to summon the courage to talk to someone whom you trust. Being afraid at times is perfectly normal, no matter how old or experienced we become. However, we should always remember that our fear is like a shadow cast on a wall. It is usually larger than the reality itself. Dispel the shadow with the acceptance, concern and insight of a trusted confidant or counselor. You may soon discover that the object of your fear isn’t so powerful after all.

RP3 (SW/AW) Charles GreerTeam Rota in the Spotlight

A n a t i v e o f M i c h i e , T e n n e s s e e , R e l i g i o u s Programs Spec ia l i s t 3 rd Class Charles Greer joined the Navy in September 2010. After completing basic training at Great Lakes, Illinois, he attended Aviation “A” School at Pensacola, Florida, for two months as an undesignated airman. In December 2010, he arrived at his first command, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and in September 2012, he picked up the religions programs specialist rate. In March 2013, he arrived in Rota, Spain and joined the Religious Ministries Department.

Greer works at the base chapel as the assistant leading petty officer. He assists in managing and operating the

facility. Additionally, he serves as the government purchase cardholder for his department and leads the community relation projects.

“I love my job,” said Greer. “I like how small my rate is. It’s easy to be noticed. I can do anything from administrative work, to combat, to chapel, to working with the Seabees. We get the best of all of those worlds.”

Greer sa id h is b iggest accomplishment thus far in the Navy was witnessing the birth of his daughter because it’s difficult to see this happen while in the military.

Greer believes happiness should be paid forward and a quote he loves by Paul Scherer, illustrating this philosophy.

Scherer said that the only way to multiply happiness is to divide it.

The undefeated David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Admirals met the Bitburg Barons for an early morning Division II volleyball competition on the court at DGF, Oct. 17.

The first set of the match was quickly decided by the Admirals' varsity squad, led by team captains Tayla Irby, Emily Quan and Talia Pekari, as well as coaches Melinda Luna and Judy Scarbrough. The Admirals defeated the Barons 25-13.

The second set proved a little more challenging for the reigning Division II Champion Admirals. After getting out to an early lead, the Admirals lost momentum, falling behind Bitburg 10-8. The Admirals managed to rally to a 13-11 lead before a back and forth series brought the

score to 21-21. The Admirals got the serve, putting the ball in Janae Curtice's hands. She spurred the Admirals on to win the set, 25-21, with four straight points.

Despite some point for point scoring runs, the third set saw the Admirals fall to Bitburg 25-19.

The Admirals came back in the fourth set. A collective 10 team kills and four aces sealed the division match with the Admirals taking the final set 25-16.

During the match, senior outside hitter Janae Curtice led the Admirals with 23 kills, one dig, one block, and two aces. Freshman middle Mila Vella served like a senior, hitting four aces, and offered a decisive presence at the net with seven kills and one block. Senior setter Talia Pekari earned 1 kill and expertly set the team up for its 49 kills out of 114 attempts. Senior libero Emily Quan controlled the back line and led the Admirals' defense with three digs. Freshman middle Alyssa Yenco dominated at the net with four blocks and two kills. Outside hitters Tayla Irby and Ayla Muller were active during the match with Irby making nine kills

and hitting two aces while Muller offered one kill and experience handling messy situations at the net. Junior Nikki Perez brought spot-on serving and two digs.

Typically stoic, Coach Scarbrough didn't have much to say after her team's victory, but her uncharacteristic smile told all those in attendance that her team had made her proud.

"The Admirals are coming together nicely as a team, as depicted on Saturday,” said Coach Luna after the match. “They are starting to communicate well, and their confidence level has increased tremendously. I am very proud of their recent performance against a competitive Bitburg team and expect great things from them in the near future."

The victorious Admirals will face the Women's Base Volleyball Team on Thursday at 5 p.m. and El Puerto de Santa Maria on Oct. 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the DGF gym, where they hope to gain valuable experience to defend their title at this year's Divisional Championships in Ramstein, Germany.

Most people do not understand what attaching forces or dynamics operate in their relationships. And yet, there are five adhesive dynamics, which create the feelings of attachment in every relationship. When these dynamics are out of balance, then you overlook signs of future difficulties in order to maintain your emotional closeness. Without knowing what these forces are and how they are inter-related, most people will form over-attachments of the heart, which will override the judgments of the mind. And yet, these bonding forces fully explain the mysterious glue, which creates the thing we call "love." For more information or to register for our workshop, please call 727-3232.

An event held at the University of Maryland University College(UMUC) Europe National Testing Center (NTC) this summer made it possible for a group of enterprising service members to hasten their path to a college degree while saving a significant amount on tuition costs.

The event was a weeklong opportunity for students to test out of required college courses by taking, and passing, an unlimited number of standardized tests in any of the 33 college-level introductory subjects offered through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). This CLEP-a-thon was hosted by the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs) were also available at the CLEP-a-thon.

The winner of the Landstuhl CLEP-a-thon was an airman who passed nine exams, earning him 30 credit hours.

“That’s the equivalent to nearly an entire year of college coursework completed within a one-week period,” said Jackie Brunson, UMUC Europe regional director for the Baumholder, Ramstein and Kaiserslautern, Germany, community.

The runner-up, an Army soldier in her last trimester of pregnancy, earned 27 semester hours after testing.

In all, 141 exams were passed during the CLEP-a-thon event, representing 567 college credits earned and $141,750 in tuition-cost savings.

CLEP exams and DSSTs, useful to all types of students, are an optimal way for military members and other busy professionals, who are frequently juggling careers while raising families and attending school, to achieve the necessary course credits for a college degree.

“On average, students working toward an associate’s or bachelor’s degree save between two and a half and ten months of time with CLEP exam credits,” said Letizia Norwood, NTC manager for UMUC Europe.

One week of unlimited CLEP tests can propel service members toward a degree. The 90-minute tests, which are funded by DANTES and free to service members the first time they take each test, are accepted at more than 2,900 colleges and universities in addition to UMUC. All exam results are available immediately.

UMUC opened its first NTC in Europe in 2009 and has since expanded to 54 centers internationally. There are 28 NTCs in Europe, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, and Bahrain; 19 in Asia; and seven in the United States. The NTCs are open to UMUC students, all U.S. military members and their families, and government service civilians with a Department of Defense ID card.

UMUC Europe hosted its first CLEP-a-thon at its NTC in Turkey in February 2012 and has been organizing them ever since. CLEP-a-thons are very popular and successful among students at other centers as well, with thousands having participated since their inception.

The Landstuhl Regional Medical Center CLEP-a-thon was not the first to be held in the greater region of Kaiserslautern and Ramstein, but it was very well received by the local U.S. military community and had a high level of support from the local military command. Active-duty military members volunteered to help organize the event and drum up participation.

While the goal of CLEP-a-thons is to help service members earn a college degree, the events also bring local communities together.

Said Norwood, “There is nothing like the sense of camaraderie and level of encouragement that occurs when a CLEP-a-thon takes place. All participants are there to improve and push each other toward their goals. Seeing a student’s hard work pay off is a great morale boost for service members and members of the entire community.”

CLEP-a-thons are offered regularly at NTCs throughout the year, with upcoming CLEP-a-thons scheduled in November and December at various locations. For more information, visit http://www.europe.umuc.edu/ntc.

CLEP-a-thon Helps Students Cut Tuition CostsBy Jessica BorrielloUMUC Europe Communications Coordinator


During Halloween, we tend to gain a few extra pounds due to all the sweets and chocolates that we receive. What are some ways we can reduce our sugar intake to stay or get back on track?

We all get side tracked and tend to lose focus on a fitness goal that we have set for ourselves, which is ok, but getting out of that zone is important. Remember why you started this lifestyle to begin with. What will your confidence level be like after gaining those few extra pounds? Will you be able to get back on track? How will you be feeling?

Indulging in a few pieces of candy isn’t bad. You may just have to do a few extra activities to help burn off some of the extra calories. Go for a walk, a light jog or a run. Have a plan to stay on track or get back on track. Increase your water intake, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or ride a bike instead of driving for shorter errands. Don’t allow yourself to fall into the “I blew it” mentality that lasts throughout the holiday season because when January comes around, you’ll be back at square one.

If you find yourself stuck, choose lower calorie food such as licorice, popcorn, gummy bears, mints and marshmallows. Just remember, eating that chocolate or piece of candy won’t increase your weight as you eat it, what you do afterwards determines if you keep those extra calories or if you lose them. For any further questions or information, don’t hesitate to contact Health Promotions at 727-3350.

Be safe and have a healthy and happy Halloween!

utNMCB 1 Exercises Evacuation of Non-Combatant Personnel

U.S. Navy Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 1 conducted a training exercise on operating an Evacuation Control Center (ECC) at Camp Mitchell onboard Naval Station Rota, Oct. 11.

The training prepared NMCB 1’s Seabees to operate an ECC and to assist with the evacuation of U.S. citizens when Americans and diplomatic personnel are living, working or traveling abroad in unstable regions of the world.

“This training is conducted in preparation of NMCB 1 being called upon to assist in the evacuation of non-combatants from a country,” said Ens. Jeremiah Cahill, NMCB 1 ECC officer-in-charge. “NMCB 1 conducts the ECC exercise once a month to ensure that the Seabees involved understand how to expedite the evacuation process in a safe manner for all involved for when the occasion arises to perform this tasking in the region.”

The training is conducted monthly by NMCB 1 during deployment to the U.S. 6th Fleet in order to ensure everyone is familiar with the process in order to quickly and

effectively complete the task of evacuating non-combatant personnel from unstable regions.

“This training is good because it allows us to get familiarized with the process so we don’t get surprised if we really need to complete this task,” said Steelworker Constructionman Katelyn Kirkpatrick. “I have learned how to more efficiently search people and I have enjoyed this learning experience. Each time we complete this training, I learn something new and it is exciting to learn how this process works. When we know what to do, it helps us to remain calm when the people being evacuated are scared.”

NMCB 1 is a Seabee battalion that specializes in contingency construction, disaster response and humanitarian assistance. The battalion’s homeport is in Gulfport, Miss.

The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. It offers deployable battalions capable of providing contingency construction, disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance, and combat operations support.

& ut About


It was during my last visit to El Torcal de Antequera when I truly discovered the beauty and special characteristics of this natural park.

El Torcal Nature Reserve is known for its unusual limestone rock formations and is located in the municipality of Antequera, a province of Malaga. In 1929, it became the first Andalusian protected natural area and in 1978, it was declared a natural park.

Within the park’s 17 square kilometers are some of the most beautiful and impressive limestone landscapes in Europe. The whole area was under sea until one hundred million years ago.

Due to the violent movements of the Earth's crust, limestone was forced upward into hills and mountains but the limestone still kept its layered horizontal formation. Because of this, over the millions of years the rain and wind have been able to chisel away at these layers to form incredible shapes.

The botanical species you will find here are expansive, with 664 different plants species having been found in the park. The trees are typical of mountains, including the maple, willow, oak hawthorn and low height oaks.

The zoological variety, which can be found here, includes rabbits, badgers, foxes, bobcats, Spanish goats, various reptiles and many more. Because of the many bird species found here, it was declared a special area for the protection of the birds.

To reach the heart of the park, drive to the village of Villanueva de la Concepcion and follow the sign to El Torcal, outside of the town about one kilometer. At the parking area you will find an information center and a small museum with an interesting of view of the wildlife and floral elements of the park. Orchid enthusiasts will be captivated by the different varieties of the plant growing in the park.

At the beginning of the park, there are three trails for visitors with different colored

arrows that inform about difficulty degree. Green is the easiest route. Yellow covers most of the green area. Red is the longest and most difficult but has excellent viewing points where you can see the entire park.

The natural park has plenty of parking, information points, a visitor’s center and many informational graphics located throughout. If you decide to visit the park, be sure to bring good, comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, appropriate clothing that depends on the season and it helps if you are in good physical condition.

Enjoy an unforgettable visit that is now within your reach.
