VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia - Effective immediately, commanding officers and officers in charge may approve waivers to the one-year requirement that Sailors must be onboard their first permanent duty station (PDS) to be eligible for Tuition Assistance (TA) according to a NAVADMIN released Aug. 21.
In addition to command triad waiver approval, Sailors must meet all existing requirements for participation eligibility
The NAVADMIN also de-tailed changes to the grade and fee policy for TA for courses stating after Oct. 1 to align with recent Depart-ment of Defense TA policy.
Successful course com-pletion will be defined as a grade of "C" or higher for undergraduate courses, a "B" or higher for graduate courses, and a "Pass" for "Pass/Fail" grades and must be attained to avoid reimbursement of TA funding. Reimbursement will also be required from Sailors who don't make up a grade of "I" (incomplete) by the educational institutions' deadline or six months after the completion of the class, whichever comes first.
Also changing Oct. 1, only tuition directly related to the course of instruction - and not including fees - will be paid with TA funds. Fees no longer covered by TA include equipment, supplies, books/materials, exams, admissions, registration, fines, and costs associated with distance learning.
These changes align the Navy's policy with Depart-ment of Defense Instruction 1322.25 for Voluntary Edu-cation (VOLED) programs covering policies for service members' use of TA.
"Historically, more than 85 percent of Sailors satis-factorily complete and pass their undergraduate and/or graduate level classes; this is a tribute to the focus and dedication of the Sailors using VOLED programs," said Ernest D'Antonio, the Center for Personal and Profes-sional Development's (CPPD) Navy VOLED program director.
In Fiscal Year 2013, approximately 89 percent of courses paid for by TA were successfully passed, with 72 percent of those courses resulting in an "A" or "B" grade, according to D'Antonio.
Sailors not successfully completing courses using TA must reimburse the Navy for TA funds.
For more information Sailors can contact their local Navy College Office, Virtual Education Center (VEC) or the Navy College Program website at https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/.

In the United States, nearly 6,000 pedestrians and cyclists were killed in motor vehicle accidents and more than 135,000 were injured in 2012. With the summer months still upon us, working out in the coolness of the morning or late evening means more pedestrians and cyclists are at-risk of being injured when not wearing reflective gear.
Announcements have been distributed via all hands emails, in The Coastline, and on American Forces Net-work (AFN) Rota, but staying safe when its dark outside continues to be a prevalent issue aboard Naval Station Rota and leadership is urging individuals and commands to take action to prevent a potential mishap.
To avoid tragedies like broken bones, mangled bi-cycles, and possibly death, leadership strongly urges members and units to wear proper safety gear when traveling on or near roadways.
According to Operational Navy Instruction 5100.12J and Commander, U.S. Naval Activities (COMNAVACT) Spain Instruction 5100.2, “a reflective or fluorescent outer vest, fluorescent belt or other signaling device, such as a flashing light, shall be worn between sunset and sunrise or in periods of reduced visibility such as fog, which is a common occurrence here in Rota.”
As a COMNAVACT Spain instruction, this instruc-
tion applies to all NAVSTA Rota departments, tenant commands, afloat units, all U.S. organizational and governmental agencies, individuals accessing the base, retirees, family members, and visitors sponsored by U.S. personnel.
“There is a possibility that a vehicle could hit a runner or bicyclist when it’s dark or foggy outside. The farther away a runner or bicyclist can be seen from, the more time the motorist has to react and avoid hitting that per-son,” said NAVSTA Rota’s Executive Officer, Cmdr. Tim McGarvey. “While we’ve been installing new flashing signs for crosswalks, we still need pedestrians to be aware of vehicles, and vehicles to be aware of pedes-trians. Bright clothing is in no way good enough, folks must use lights or reflective strips to be seen.”
While wearing a reflective belt or vest is important, it’s also important for pedestrians to remember to walk or run facing oncoming traffic when paths or sidewalks are not available. When riding a bicycle, remember to ride with traffic, not against it.
Cyclists must wear a helmet at all times and be equipped with a headlight, taillight, and wear reflective upper garments during hours of darkness or reduced visibility like fog or rain. The headlight must be white and the backlight must be red, and both must have a visibility of 900 feet in either direction and not bothersome to other traffic. This is not restricted to American’s alone but all personnel accessing the base. Per ABANROT letter reference number 0123, “bicyclists will not be permitted access to the base without a helmet and, during hours of darkness, a reflective vest.”
“Our recommendation as safety professionals is to wear it all the time when you are on your bike or walking on the road,” said NAVSTA Rota’s Acting Traffic Safety Manager, Antonio Grimaldi. “Spanish authorities on base, the Spanish navy, they force the Spanish when they enter the base on a bike to follow the U.S. regula-tions. Spanish navy does not allow you to cross the gate if you don’t have a helmet and reflective gear. They apply those rules because they think it’s smart.”
It is also advised to wear something reflective while off base so vehicles, including mopeds, can clearly see you. Whether walking or jogging, you want to ensure vehicles can see you.
“I would also encourage those off base to do the same. Remember to be visible, especially if you’re walking near a roadway,” said McGarvey. “New people here might not know that a Rota Sailor was tragically killed last year on the side of the road in town. He thought the oncoming car was a cab and was stepping into the street to wave it down; he thought the car could see him. The car did not see him. This was a tragedy we must avoid in the future through training and getting the word out to … the entire base.”
The fitness center offers vests for pedestrians or run-ners to use. Prior to running, stop by the front desk and ask to borrow a vest or belt. Wearing a reflective vest or belt can make you more visible to oncoming traffic and help keep you safe. A reflective you is a safe you.
During hours of darkness and limited visibility, service members in uniform, as well as Department of Defense civilian employees, who are in a paid duty status, are required to wear a reflective belt. Wearing reflective gear provides increased visibility to others. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration by Senior Airman Schelli Jones)

This week I want to briefly discuss and provide you with in-formation on the Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) process. I am a firm believer that, if used properly, this is a great tool to help us improve some of the processes and programs we have
in place here aboard Naval Station Rota.
So what is ICE and, may-be more importantly, what’s in it for Team Rota?
ICE is a Web-based tool that collects feedback on services provided by various organizations throughout the Department of Defense (DoD). It is designed to improve customer service by allowing managers to monitor satisfaction levels
through reports and customer comments. Below are some of the great benefits that ICE provides:
- Allows DoD customers to quickly and easily provide feedback to service provider managers.
- Customers can make submissions anonymously or can include contact information.
- Gives leadership timely data on service quality. - Allows managers to benchmark the performance of their
service providers against DoD and other organizations. - Encourages communication across organizations by com-
paring best practices to increase performance results. - Saves money.As I mentioned above, there are some great benefits with this
process. But what does ICE really mean for Team Rota? It is a great tool to be heard and an opportunity to make a difference in our community. However, I need your help to ensure we continue to pay it forward. Through ICE, we receive comments that are very constructive and have some great points on ways to improve our current operations or recognize someone for their outstanding work. The disappointing aspect of this process is people do not leave their name when submitting a comment, which makes it a little tough for me. You see, I usually have questions to help
me better understand your comment, and with no name I can-not take care of the comment. It is impossible to handle the situation if there isn’t a way to reach you to clarify. I understand that leaving your name and phone number or email address is voluntary, but I hope that makes sense. There will be no reprisal for your comment, I just typically need a few more facts on how we can improve or provide a solution to the comment or issue.
In order for this process to work here for Team Rota we need to be effective in the two-way communication process. If we continue to make ICE comments with no name, it will become a vicious circle of people mad at me - or another organiza-tion - because I am not responding to their comment, and I am disappointed because I cannot ask questions to someone in regard to the ICE comments that were made because there is no name attached. When submitting an ICE comment, please consider including your name and contact information to better help Team Rota.
In closing I just want to say, it is our choice to be happy, upset, thrilled, glad, etc. Don’t get me wrong, my emotions have gotten the best of me a few times, but I realize how I can make the same comment with a smile and offer to help remedy the situation.
I do have one favor to ask: Before we make our next ICE comment, let’s ask ourselves four questions:
1. Do I know what the process is?2. Did I put myself in their position in regard to the comment?3. Do I want to improve the process or get someone fired?4. Will this benefit the majority or just me?To access Naval Station Rota's ICE page, visit http://ice.disa.

Have you ever wondered how the Navy decides on the best location of its facilities and infrastructure? Instal-lation planning is a well-defined process that we use to develop Department of Defense (DoD) real estate in the most efficient manner in response to all assigned mis-sions, functions, and tasks. In 2012, the DoD adopted a new Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) for installation plan-ning. This UFC, last updated in the mid ‘80s, updated old practices that emphasized inefficient and spread-out land development that relied on vehicular transportation, with newer practices that focus on sustainability, greater density, and alternative transportation options. This new UFC also focuses on joint basing of operations and force protection requirements. The Installation Development Plan (IDP), aka Installation Master Plan, is the official document that guides all future facility development. The IDP requires development decisions to be based on known specific mission requirements, while retaining the flexibility to accommodate the unknown future of new missions and reduced levels of facility funding.
The IDP is guided by a vision of the future that is a result of discussions with senior level stakeholders, mis-sion representatives, and residents at the installation. The vision is focused on mission first, but is limited by the realities of funding and practicality.
Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Public Works Department Rota (with AECOM) is currently developing Naval Station Rota’s IDP. The next step in
the process is a series of facilitated meetings with senior leadership and tenant commands that will be held on-site the week of Sept. 8.
Would you like to get involved? NAVFAC wants to hear your thoughts. An Open House will be held at the Library,
Sept. 9, noon to 1 p.m. Existing plans for the installation will be on display and the team of planners will be available to answer questions and solicit your input on future plans. All interested personnel and dependents are encouraged to attend this meeting.
Help Shape Rota's Future
As part of the master planning process, installations will be divided into identifiable and connected districts - such as the one of Naval Station Rota above - based on geographical features, land-use patterns, building types, and transportation networks. By focusing on districts, planners can identify areas that need planning attention due to mission, requirement, or command priority changes. (Graphic courtesy of NAVFAC Public Works Department Rota)

Get Better SleepSleep problems are common and may
lead to other health issues such as poor reaction times, drowsiness, poor decision making, and vulnerability to illness. The National Sleep Foundation suggests following these tips to improve your sleep:
Create a consistent bedtime routine - Develop a nightly routine to help train your body and mind that it is time to rest. This can be simple tasks like brushing your teeth, washing your face, and dimming the lights.
Put worry to bed - Learn to put your worries to bed. Try journaling about the day and be done with it. Let go of things so you can fall asleep and commit to solving the problem tomorrow.
Go to bed at the same time every night - Those who do are more rested and sleep better than those who go to sleep at varied times throughout the week.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine - Both interfere with and disrupt sleep. Limit all stimulants and alcohol to several hours before bedtime.
Deep breathing and gentle stretching - Five or 10 minutes of stretching muscles followed by deep breathing exercises help relax the body and mind for restful sleep.
Wake up without an alarm - When possible, wake up without an alarm to de-termine true number of hours your body would like to sleep.
Naps - Avoid long naps. A short power nap (10 to 30 minutes) can help overcome an afternoon slump.
Try these tips to make sleep a priority and be Healthy for Life!

MILLINGTON, Tenn - Sailors need to take an active role in getting their medi-cal and dental records to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at retirement or separation, according to a Navy message released Aug. 19.
"One of the benefits Sailors have earned with their voluntary service to the nation is support throughout their life from the VA. To make it as easy as possible for the VA to provide that support, it's in their best interest to make sure their medical records have been turned in to the appro-priate medical facility when they separate or retire from the Navy," said Ann Stewart, director, Pay and Personnel Management.
Before a Sailor separates or retires, commanding officers (CO) and officers in
charge (OIC) are responsible for ensur-ing that the Service Treatment Records (STR), medical and dental records, are at the appropriate medical and dental facili be available to the VA.
"If you need to file a claim with the VA in the future, and please don't assume that you never will have to, they will check to verify your period of service in the Navy. If, later in life, you need to make a connec-tion between a medical condition and your time in service, the VA has to have access to your medical record. That's the reason why NAVADMIN 187/14 is so important," Stewart said.
With the release of the message, COs and OICs are directed to provide a quarterly list of personal who have sepa-rated or retired that includes their name, separation date, date their STR was made available to the medical/dental facility, and an explanation for STRs not provided by the separation date, if necessary.
"Take this seriously, if you have your medical record, turn it in. If you don't, verify with your supporting medical treat-ment facility that they have it, and if they don't, help them find it by providing your duty stations for the last five years so your medical department can track it down," Stewart said. "This effort is in your best interest, make sure you have access to what you've earned."

On a sunny afternoon on July 27 an American stepped into the Federación Andaluza de Tiro Olímpico Anda-lucían 9 mm Pistol Shooting Competition and competed against 69 people. At the end of the competition, the American stood victorious. Not only did he win as a foreigner representing Seville, beating a talented pool of other shooters, but he also set a new record that hasn’t been broken since 2006.
Retired Chief Navy Counselor John Hughes can be seen working at the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) as the work and family life supervisor during the week and competing in shooting competitions on the weekends. In his free time he loves to compete, and his passion paid off when he shot a 585 out of 600 points during the competition.
“It took me about a week to come off cloud nine” said Hughes. “I couldn’t believe I did something so big. These scores have been tracked for a really long time. To sit here and post a record like that is a huge achievement and the shooters here are good. I didn’t take this record easily. It took a lot of focus and mental skill to get this.”
The competition consisted of one-handed shooting targets from 25 meters away. Targets start out turned sideways then they flip and turn toward the competitors. Shooters have 150 seconds to fire five rounds, and this happens six different times. The shooters then enter a rapid-fire round where they have to fire off five rounds in 20 seconds.
Following the announcement of Hughes’s win, a com-petitive shooter friend sent out a text message about the significant event, and phone calls started coming in from all over Spain to congratulate him on the win as well as breaking the record.
“People I’ve never met or knew existed were calling
me,” said Hughes. “Not only did I set the record for An-dalucía, but it was four points higher than the national record. It’s pretty big stuff.”
Hughes received a medal and a certificate, which is framed inside his office. Even though he has won multiple competitions in the past, including one in Seville the week prior, Hughes attributes his success to three specific traits he believes every shooter should possess.
“You have to have confidence in your firearm, your ammunition, and your equipment. You have to have confidence in your ability. You have to know what you’re doing and have the confidence that you can do it. The other one is mental discipline,” said Hughes. “Usually one of those three will break down and prevent you from getting over the top. It just so happened that all three came together, and it was just beautiful.”
This isn’t the first time he has won a shooting com-petition. In fact, he has a long history with guns rooted in his childhood in central Louisiana.
“I used to hunt,” said Hughes. “I grew up hunting, and my dad would take me out shooting cans. He instilled a very huge respect for firearms and their capabilities and proper usage. He would enroll me into hunter safety courses. I really enjoyed that and it led to hunting.”
As Hughes grew older, he stopped hunting. However, once he joined the Navy, he tried his hand at shooting competitions on an off chance suggestion.
“Hunting took a backseat,” said Hughes. “In the Navy, I heard about a shooting competition and thought I wouldn’t mind trying it out. I tried it out, going to a small National Rifle Association (NRA) match with an air-powered rifle. At that point I fell in love. I fell head over hells in love with the sport.”
Hughes joined the All Navy Shooting Team in 1995, which has since lost its Navy sponsorship but still goes on today. Since then, he has won a number of trophies
from various shooting competitions that he still displays in his home.
Hughes hopes he can help other American shooting enthusiasts find their footing in Spain and continue with their passion while here.
“There are a lot of people here who ask about it, but don’t get any guidance where the ranges are,” said Hughes. “There’s a lot of competition shooting here. There’s hunting. It’s difficult to get into, though. One of things I’m hoping to do is point people in the right di-rection and help out with the sport. If you show people where to go and they want to do it, they’ll find a way. I’m hoping this will bring some attention to the shooting sport out here in Spain.”
Even though Hughes competes frequently, he has bigger plans to expand his love for the sport. He plans on connecting with the Spanish range in El Puerto de Santa Maria and hopes to start his own shooting league for Americans.

Fear is a powerful weapon; a crippling narcotic. Fear comes in many shapes and sizes, and some-
times the smallest dose can wreak havoc on your life.
Fear is also a grand impostor; a deceiving fa-cade. Fear tricks its vic-tims into believing that it is an all-powerful force, impossible to overcome, and bigger than anything else in life. Fear wins when people submit to
the paralyzing presence of such a hollow emotion. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been afraid, and there
are things that make me afraid from time to time. Sometimes life experiences make fear seem like a very present reality. But when I examine the heart of my fears at the deepest level, I find, ultimately,
nothing. Here’s why: Fear is not just a grand impostor and
a deceiving facade, it is also a thief that survives by stealing what is valuable in people’s lives and feed-ing off of the spoils of its plundering.
So how do we keep fears from leaking into our lives, especially when world events hit us with the force of a flash flood, and it seems as if our fears are unfolding before our eyes?
What makes fear so difficult is that it makes life feel out of control. The challenge is that we will never be in control of everything anyway. So for me, when I look at what makes me afraid, I have to remember that the things that make me afraid aren’t in control of the world any more than I am. In fact, even less so because the reality is that fear only has as much control over me, over the world, as I give it. In that sense, fear itself is powerless without me giving it power. This is why I believe it is a hollow emotion, and ultimately nothing.
The remedy, then, is to expose that fear for what it is. Tear down the façade and fill the empty space with something tangible and good. Reclaim the life that fear stole from you, and fill that life with who you are and who God created you to be.
The Bible says perfect loves casts out all fear and that greater love has none than this, than to lay down his life for his friends. If fear is hollow, love is full. If fear is a thief, love is a giver. If fear promotes chaos, love promotes peace. We lose ourselves in fear. We find ourselves in love, particularly in the love that comes from God.
It is love for yourself that will help you reclaim your life. It is love for others that will protect them and fight to overcome evil. It is love for God that will bring hope, courage, and strength as we look to the future and hold fast to the promises of Scripture.
Love versus fear is light versus darkness. It has to flee, it cannot exist, it cannot win in the light of God’s perfect love for you, forever.

Laura DavisTeam Rota in the Spotlight
A native of Portsmouth, Virginia, Laura Da-vis works within the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) inside the Community Support Building where she serves as the counseling and advocacy services supervisor and acting site director.
Davis has been working for the Navy Family Advocacy Program since 2007. She started in Norfolk, Virginia and worked there for five years. She moved to Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia where she worked briefly before coming to Rota in 2011.
Davis oversees the mental and clinical programs here and manages two clinicians. Mental health services include individual counseling, couples, and child and family counseling. Additionally, the family advocacy program includes the New Parent Support Program and the Family Advocacy Program, which is comprised of the domestic violence and child abuse prevention programs.
“I love this job,” said Davis. “That was my dream - to live overseas, and come and work for Fleet and Family, and come and grow professionally. This job has been wonderful because I’ve had a lot of opportunities profes-sionally and personally.”
In addition to possessing a Master’s De-gree in Counseling Psychology and being an educational specialist, Davis is still finding new ways to grow along with her co-workers.
“We’re required to wear lots of different hats and do all kinds of different jobs,” said Davis. “Where as in the states you have people who do training, people who do marketing, and various other jobs. Where as here you have to learn how to do all of those because you don’t have separate departments. I like that because it makes all of us more well rounded. Everyone in this office is cross-trained.”
Davis personally sees 10 to 15 people a week, and her co-workers see even more, so customer service is an essential part of her job.
“I love that we have a center where every-one [who] works here is focused on helping others,” said Davis. “And everyone here is a customer service-type of person. They’re always looking for ways to help people and ways to improve the program. I like knowing that we’re a program that offers support and helps people to become more self-sufficient, and we offer programs to help people better their lives and ultimately be mission ready.”
Davis has two more years left in Rota and plans to continue in her field.

1. If your car is equipped with overdrive, be sure to use the overdrive gear when your speed dictates. Your owner’s manual will give you further information.
2. Don’t start your car until you’re ready to move, and avoid long idles. Limit time for warming up your car in winter; idling gets zero miles per gallon!
3. Drive smoothly. Accelerating slowly from a full stop can save you as much as two miles per gallon.
4. Avoid aggressive driving. Speeding, rapid ac-celeration, and breaking can lower your gas mileage by as much as 33 percent at highway speeds, and 5 percent around town.
5. Drive a friend or neighbor to work. If every commuter car carried just one more passenger, we’d save 600,000 gallons of gasoline and keep 12 million pounds of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere every day.
Weekly Energy Tip: Transportation Tips
Now that's a BRITE idea!Did you know ... civilians working overseas can be eligible to fly Space-A? Travel is allowed to U.S. citizen civilian
employees of the Armed Forces who are eligible for government-funded transportation to the United States at tour completion (including NAF employees). The two categories authorized are Emergency Leave Unfunded Travel and Environmental Morale Leave (EML). Emergency Leave Unfunded Travel is for verified and immediate family emergencies. EML is for sponsors in EML status, and also for their dependents traveling with them in EML status. Civilian dependents may also fly unaccompanied while stationed overseas if they meet the following authorized criteria: verified emergencies, scheduled entrance exams for entry into any of the U.S. service academies, and enlisting in one of the Armed Forces when local enlistment overseas is not authorized. Stateside space-a travel is not authorized for Department of Defense (DoD) civilians at any time. For specific details on space-a eligibility, please contact your local passenger terminal or visit http://www.amc.af.mil/amctravel/index.asp.
