NCTS Naples Celebrates 50 Years of ‘WarfightersConnectingWarfighters’

Naval Computer and Telecommu ni cationsStation (NCTS) Naples celebrated the 50thanniversary of its commissioning this monthwith a heritage presentation at Capodichinotheater Feb. 15 and a cake-cutting ceremonythat followed. Established at Bagnoli as the U.S. Naval

Communications Unit Naples in February1963, the command has constantly evolved overthe past five decades to keep pace with signifi-cant changes in communications technology. InMay 1968 the command took on the mission ofproviding communications services to afloatunits, and was renamed Naval Communi -cations Stations Italy. The United States’ bicentennial year in 1976

witnessed the assumption of theater-wide com-munications oversight and control. Now namedNaval Commu nications Area Master StationMediter ranean, it became one of four such mas-ter stations in the world. This era is notable forthe introduction of satellite communicationstechnology and automated message processingequipment. With the advent of computer network support,

in October 1991 the command became NavalCom puter and Telecommunications AreaMaster Station Med iterranean, and took onadministrative control of communications sta-

Conference for Africa Partner -ship Station (APS) took place inGarmisch -Par ten k i r chen ,Germany, Feb. 11-13.The primary operational ele-

ipation is absolutely vital toincrease the quantity andquality of underway opera-tional training opportunitieswith our African partners,”said Rear Adm. John “Chris”Sadler, director of the mar-itime partnership program forU.S Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet. “When itcomes to international cooper-ation, I believe AfricaPartnership Station is the goldstandard by which all otherprograms are measured.”The high standards set by par-

ticipating partner nations areimproved by the continuation ofdialogue by planning futuregoals and objectives for APS. “Long before APS, Cameroon

had a good record of maritimesecurity cooperation withNATO-member countries,” saidCameroonian navy Lt. Cmdr.

move in 1997 from Bagnoli and Agnano to a newpurpose-built Command, Control, Commu -nications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I)facility at Capodichino, shared with NavalSecurity Group Activity Naples and SubmarineGroup 8. The command became NCTAMS EUR-CENT Oct. 1, 1997 with naval communicationsresponsibilities for the entire EuropeanCommand and Central Command areas ofresponsibility. Reorganization in 2005 resulted in the down-

grade of Naples from an area master station toNCTS Naples, though at this time new respon-

sibilities were added which saw the commandbecome the Theater Network Operations andSecurity Center for the OCONUS NavyEnterprise Network in Europe. Together with its Satellite Facility at Lago

Patria, NCTS Naples today provides Command,Control, Communications, and Computer serv-ices for U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S.6th Fleet, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/U.S. 5th Fleet, and for Joint and NATO unitsresponsible for combat operations in theMediterranean, Southwest Asia, Indian Ocean,Atlantic, and Pacific areas of responsibility.Specific missions have changed with the times

From Panorama staff reports

Last weekend was abig one for our youngathletes. Fifty-nineNaples Tiger Sharksate up the competitionat the EuropeanForces Swim Leaguechampionship meet inthe Netherlands.Naples placed secondoverall out of 18teams, the best all-around performance inat least the last sevenyears. Our swimmersbrought home thebling – 114 firstthrough sixth placemedals, including 60 gold, silver, and bronze! The high schoolwrestling team also put forth a valiant effort last weekend inthe European championships. One of our wrestlers placedthird in his weight category and another placed sixth.Congratulations to all of our wrestlers and swimmers whogave it their all. You made the Naples military communityproud. I want to wish the best to our basketball and cheer-leading teams that are already in Germany for tomorrow’sEuropean playoff and championship competitions. Those whocan’t make it to Wiesbaden can tune into AFN, which is sched-uled to broadcast the events live.As all the championship highlights suggest, we’re reaching

the end of the winter sports season. The start of spring sportsis just around the corner. Before breaking out the softball orsoccer gear and organizing some pickup games, please plan toforgo use of the high school athletic fields. The school hasrequested for community members to avoid using grass areasinside the track and adjacent to the stadium bleachers inorder to preserve field integrity. We want to ensure that ourhigh school athletes have the safest surfaces to compete on. Soplease use other fields at Carney Park and throughoutSupport Site for community-organized competitions. If youabsolutely require use of the high school fields, be sure to con-tact the front office. Next week, Naples Elementary School is doing some pretty

cool activities with our students to focus on the importance ofreading. Students are scheduled to participate in a series ofDr. Seuss theme days during “Read Across America” week.Although many of us adults aren’t authorized to show up towork in our PJs or wear fun socks, we can use the upcomingweek to renew our commitment to reading to our kids. Theexperts tell us that we are our child’s first and most importantteacher. Reading aloud to children is one of the most valuableactivities for building their knowledge. It’s also a great oppor-tunity to connect and bond.Before I end, I’d like to remind everyone that the Naples

Middle and High School nurse has organized a bone marrowregistration drive Tuesday and Wednesday at Support Site.The full details are listed in base notes. Please consider thegood that can come of your participation in this program. Have a safe weekend and check out our young superstars on

NSA Naples Celebrates Month of the Military FamilyThe Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC)

aboard Naval Support Activity Naples held a“Spouses Abroad” class to help spouses adjustto military life overseas, Feb. 12.The goal of the class was to give spouses sta-

tioned in Naples an outlet where they can learnabout living in a military environment as wellas the resources available on and off base. “This is a class that deals with things that are

pertinent to living on a military installation,”said Jessica Angerman, “Spouses Abroad” classfacilitator. “We go over everything from learn-ing basic military jargon to the differentresources that are available in Naples.”The free class was also an opportunity for

spouses to mingle and make new friends.

“I think finding a buddy is the key to your suc-cess,” said Angerman. “Finding that person orpersons that you can do things with, vent toand get advice from is really helpful.”Topics covered in the class included living in a

military environment, military culture, Navyjargon, military time, enlisted and officerranks, do’s and don’t for military spouses,understanding a Leave and EarningsStatement, as well as various resources avail-able online. “Where I think the real meat and potatoes in

this class is the resources,” said Angerman.“There’s a lot of resources available not only tomilitary but to civilians and this class goesthrough each of them to help people learn howto get by in Naples.”For more information about FFSC events and

What It’s Like to Work with theBest of the Best in the Navy Four recruits are huddled around a

garbage can and vomiting. A few oth-ers are splayed out, breathing heavyin puddles of sweat on the gym floor.Most of the recruits are walkingaround, getting their breath backafter the run. Some of them are talk-ing and joking around with eachother; they’re just waiting for “chief”to come back downstairs.Someone hollers, “Form up!” The

recruits scurry to throw on theirjackets and form-up in a height line.Chief Boatswain’s Mate DavidChisholm stomps out onto the gym-nasium floor. He’s decked out inNavy PT gear. He’s tall, slim, and at27, he’s pretty young to be a crustyboatswain’s mate. His Navy ball capis low on his forehead casting a shad-ow over his eyes as he looks at aprintout in his hand. He’s shakinghis head and muttering to himself. “It’s that crap,” he says, pointing to

a number printed on the chart he’sholding. “Four seconds. Four sec-onds. That’s what pisses me off.” Heis pointing at a block on the chartthat says “FAIL” in bold letters. Heruns his index finger along the chartand finds another failing score.“Pushups: 35. You’re telling me youcouldn’t do seven more pushups?” Hepoints to another failing line, “Sixmore sit ups. Garbage. That’s themotivation that they’re going tobring to boot camp? It’s ridiculous.”He walks away shaking his head. Chisholm is a recruit division com-

mander, or RDC, for the Navy’s boot

camp at Recruit Training Command(RTC), Great Lakes, Ill. A month ago,less than half the recruits in Division026 passed their first boot campphysical fitness test. Chisholm knewhe had his work cut out for him. So,he and his RDC partner have spentthe last four weeks whipping thisdivision into something that is start-ing to resemble a group of Sailors,and today, 78 of his 87 recruitspassed the test. That’s a 90 percentpass rate, but Chisholm isn’t satis-fied with 90 percent. He was predict-ing something closer to 95 percent,something closer to perfect. “I was taught to shoot high,”

Chisholm says. “If you miss, you’restill pretty high up there.” RTC Great Lakes has a shortage of

RDCs. The command needs morehigh-shooting Sailors, like Chisholm,to apply for the job and help turncivilians into Sailors. It’s not easy

duty, and not everyone can do it. Thehours are long, and the mission is anon-stop challenge, but the rewardsare the kind you won’t find any-where else in the Fleet. Leading a 90-person division looks

great on a performance evaluation(eval), and RTC has the above-aver-age advancement rates to prove it.It’s also a great way to pick up lead-ership and organizational skills, butbeyond the professional rewards,even the hardest RDCs will admittheir favorite part of the job is watch-ing a division graduate and knowing,“I made those Sailors.” Definitely what I enjoy most is see-

ing the change in the recruits,”Chisholm says. “You can’t describeseeing somebody that came here offthe bus, seeing what they were like,and then seeing them eight weekslater when they leave here.”

Military Saves is here again, and many of the Naples areaorganizations want to help you commit to saving for a bet-ter tomorrow. Military Saves is a social marketing cam-paign to persuade, motivate, and encourage military fami-lies, as well as Department of Defense civilians and con-tractors, to save money every month. Feb. 25 throughMarch 2 has been designated as Military Saves Week andthe start of the 2013 campaign. Since 2003, more than 128,000 individuals worldwide

have taken the Military Saves pledge and reported a sav-ings of $10,000 over 3 years. Last year Military SavesWeek had a record 339 organizations participate, includ-ing: 253 installations, commands, and detachments; 62financial institutions; and 24 non-profit organizations. This year’s focus in Naples is on setting a goal, making a

plan, and saving automatically. Fleet and Family SupportCenter is partnering with community organizations suchas Community Bank; Navy Federal Credit Union; Women,Infants and Children (WIC) and Navy Marine Corps ReliefSociety to provide the Naples area community with theknowledge and tools that can help individuals set andachieve their long- and short-term saving’s goals. There will be a booth event Wednesday on Capo’s spine

from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and next Friday at Support Site foodcourt from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by and complete "TheSaver Pledge," take home giveaways, pick up helpful infor-mation, and commit to exercising good financial habits. Bytaking the pledge you are promising to save money regu-larly and encouraging others to do the same. Those whoenroll will receive monthly Military Saves electronicnewsletters and a free myFICO credit score. The campaign encourages everyone to build wealth, not

debt, by setting up automatic transfers to savingsaccounts, establishing short- and long-term savings goals,participating in Thrift Savings Plan and SDP, if eligible,and by reducing or eliminating consumer debt.

A recent policy change allowsSailors with a PTS "Intends toSeparate" status to participate in theupcoming March 2013 examination. Naval Administrative Message

(NAVADMIN) 023/13, released Feb. 8,provides updated guidance for theCycle 219/March 2013 Navy-wideenlisted examinations for ActiveDuty, Active Reserve, Full TimeSupport and Canvasser Recruiteradvancement.For the September 2012 advance-

ment cycle 216, Active Duty Sailorswho had an "Intends to Separate"Perform to Serve (PTS) status wereineligible for the Navy-wide advance-ment examination. NAVADMIN023/13 explains that changes inretention behavior, and the Navy'sshifting posture from downsizing tostabilizing, have enabled candidatesin a PTS "Intends to Separate" statusto be eligible for advancement.Sailors who have received final PTS

denial (Denied Final - Active) on theirDecember PTS application remainineligible to participate in the Marchexamination.Another important change

announced in NAVADMIN 023/13concerns security clearance require-ments for advancement. Favorableinvestigation adjudication issued bythe Department of the Navy CentralAdjudication Facility (DONCAF)remains as a requirement. However,the updated policy now allows aSailor to take the advancement examwith an interim clearance issued bythe unit commanding officer whileawaiting formal adjudication fromDONCAF. That interim clearancemust be granted prior to the first day

of the month of the regularly sched-uled examination date."The intent of this change is to min-

imize adverse impact to advancementopportunity for those Sailors whohave properly applied for a security

clearance and are awaiting a finaldetermination," said Enlisted Plansand Policy Branch Head Cmdr. ReneeSquier. "However, every effort shouldbe taken by the command and theindividual to receive final determina-

tions on all Sailors requiring a securi-ty clearance as soon as possible."Certain ratings listed in the Cycle

219 NAVADMIN 342/12, as well asSailors in the Cryptologic TechnicianMaintenance (CTM) rating, and all

nuclear and submarine ratings whodo not meet security clearancerequirements, remain ineligible foradvancement and should not partici-pate in an advancement examina-tion.

Continued from Page 5 BEST OF THE BESTBefore a Sailor can watch his first

division graduate, and before he caneven don the RDC “red rope” on hisshoulder, he has to get through RDC“C” School. Just to get orders to the“C” school, Sailors have to gothrough a detailing screeningprocess that disqualifies three out ofevery five applicants. Once a Sailormakes it to the school, he becomes a“blue rope,” named for the braidedblue rope the RDC “C” School stu-dents wear on the left shoulder oftheir uniforms. RDC “C” School is no joke. One out

of every four students washes out ofthe course and never earns his redrope. The “C” school is a 13-weekcourse that teaches Sailors the kindof attention to detail they’ll need asRDCs, and it has a PT program thatmakes sure they’re in the kind ofshape they’ll have to be in to runwith 18-year-old recruits. The PTprogram is the main reason for theschool’s high attrition rate. Blueropes do a lot of running, and Sailorswho aren’t prepared for that can endup broken. The whole course is kind of like

boot camp for senior Sailors. Theblue ropes stand meticulous uniforminspections where the instructorsuse rulers to measure the distancebetween the top of a pocket and thebottom of a ribbon rack, and at thephysical training (PT) sessions itisn’t uncommon to see chiefs and 1stclasses getting yelled at for laggingbehind in a run or practicing badform on an exercise.

“Yes, they’ll get talked to a littlebit,” Chisholm says, “but that’s alsokind of good because it brings it backdown home. You’re going to want tothink about how you talk to arecruit, because you know what it’slike to get talked to like that again.So it’s kind of like a refresher ofwhen you went through boot camp.So, when they’re talking down toyou, you need to remember thatbefore you start talking down to arecruit.” RDC “C” School is a challenge, and

only the best make it through thecourse, but Chisholm, who is mid-way through his last division atRTC, said most of the learning hap-pens after an RDC earns his red

rope. “You’re going to be prepared when

you get out there, but there’s a lotthat you can’t learn until you actual-ly get your own division,” Chisholmsays. “In RDC school, while you’rewearing the blue rope, you’re notallowed to be alone with recruits … alot of RDCs won’t let you train any-thing because if it’s trained wrong,that’s them getting that infraction.” There are three flags a division can

earn in boot camp: Battle “E,” CNO,and Hall of Fame. Every inspection,test, and evaluation earns a score,and those scores are points toward afinal total. If a division can get anoverall 4.7 out of 5.0, the divisionwill earn the Stanley Cup of bootcamp: the Hall of Fame flag. The competitive nature of the job

suits Chisholm just fine. He is ayoung, single guy with the ability toget totally immersed in his work. Asa boatswain’s mate out in the fleet,he admits to keeping an UNREP(underway replenishment) manualon his night stand. That type ofobsession fits in well here at RTCwhere he says other RDCs are justas competitive as he is.RTC counts on that kind of com-

petitive nature. The commandattracts Sailors who want to be rec-ognized as the best, and the Navyexpects them to pass that drive on tothe recruits. “You know, when you get to the

Fleet, [if] you do the bare minimum,you’re going to be that P (pro-motable) Sailor. Then you’re going tobe pissed off at the world becauseyou’re a P every time,” Chisholmsays. “You’ve got to teach them,‘Look, you’ve got to go past the mini-mum, or you’re never going to goanywhere in the Navy. You’ll do fouryears, you’ll sweep decks, and getout.’” Almost every week there isanother test and another opportuni-ty to prove, with hard numbers,whose recruits are picking up onthat message. Every test is anotherchance to see which division is in thebest physical shape, has the mostattention to detail, and, by reflection,has the best RDCs. Training recruits to pass all the

tests and challenges of boot campisn’t a nine-to-five job. The hours are

more like five to nine, and that’swhy RDCs stop pushing divisionsafter a year and spend about a yearworking at “facilitator” jobs beforereturning to push boots for the lastyear of their tours. This facilitatorperiod is a chance for RDCs todecompress, spend time with family,and work a more-typical shore dutyschedule. Because there is a current short-

age of RDCs, the red ropes are get-ting even less down-time thanusual. So, recently, RTC createdsome rules designed to force hard-charging RDCs to call it quits for theday and head home. Despite work-ing 14-hour-days on a regular basis,the command still has to force RDCsto call it quits at the end of the day. That level of commitment is a big

part of the reason why there is sucha high advancement rate amongRDCs. At 34.4 percent, RTC’sadvancement rate from 1st class tochief is more than 10 percentagepoints higher than the fleet average.Those are great numbers, especiallyfor a shore command, and the RDCsearn those numbers. Breaking outand getting a rock star eval at RTCmeans a Sailor has risen to the topin a pool of all-go-no-quit, type-A,hard-chargers. Most RDCs were top performers at

their past commands, which makesthe competition at RTC prettyfierce. Working 14-hour days, six-days-a-week at any other shore com-mand would usually guarantee anearly promote (EP) eval. But at acommand full of rock stars, evenMick Jagger can find himself in seri-ous competition when Jimi Hendrixshows up. Chisholm knows a little something

about being successful at RTC. Hechecked on board as a 2nd class, andsoon, he’ll be checking out in khakis.“A lot of people, they’re going tocome here because they want tomake chief. If that’s the only reasonyou’re coming here, I will tell you,that’s the wrong reason to comehere, because you’re going to get runover. You’re not going to have whatit takes to be competitive here …just because you’re more you, you,you. You have to balance RDC andcollateral duties, volunteer, off-dutyeducation. It’s really a balancing actyou’ve got to learn,” said Chisholm. It’s early in the evening, and

Chisholm is sitting at his desk look-

ing at a computer screen. Therecruits are at a class somewhereelse on base, and Chisholm and hisRDC partner are alone in the com-partment. The empty compartmentjust went through a graded inspec-tion. There are rumpled up clotheseverywhere; sheets and blankets are

in piles on the bunks. This isChisholm’s last division. In a fewmonths, he’ll be back on a ship, doingwhat boatswain’s mates do. Call your command career coun-

selor or detailer to find out moreabout becoming a recruit divisioncommander.

Chief of Naval Operations(CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenertjoined the Deputy Secretary ofDefense, the Chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff and theJoint Chiefs of Staff to testifybefore the House Armed ServicesCommittee (HASC) Feb. 13 onthe potential impact of seques-tration and the lack of an appro-priations bill for fiscal year 2013. During the hearing, Greenert

illustrated the significantimpacts the combined effects ofa yearlong continuing resolu-tion and sequestration will havein reducing the Navy's ability toachieve his top three prioritiesof, "Warfighting First," "Ope -rate Forward," and "Be Ready." "We'll have inadequate surge

capacity at the appropriate readi-ness to be there when it matters,where it matters," Greenert saidin his opening statement settinga stark tone of his testimonybefore the committee.Greenert said that in order for

the Navy to continue beingready when it matters, where itmatters, congress must act-andact fast as the ramifications willbe felt, at a minimum, throughnext year."Sequestration and the lack of

an appropriations bill will havean irreversible and debilitatingimpact on the Navy's readinessthrough at least 2014," Greenertsaid. "We will not be able torespond in the way the nationhas expected and depended." The Chairman of the HASC,

Congressman Buck McKeon,asked Greenert to put into oper-ational terms some of what theNavy would no longer be able todo if sequestration went intoeffect on March 1."We [will] have no ships in the

Southern Command, so the hun-dreds of tons of drugs that arebeing intercepted, there's nobodyto do that," Greenert said. "Andwe're not nurturing future rela-tionships there and keeping sta-bility down there."Greenert also pointed out

there would only be one aircraftcarrier to support strikes inAfghanistan while simultane-ously maintaining stability anddeterrence in the Arabian Gulf. Greenert's picture of a post-

sequestration fleet becamegrimmer as he went down theline cutting operations thatwould no longer be sustainablesuch as counter piracy andquick reaction teams in Africaand ballistic missile defenseoverseas. Greenert elaborated in detail

the material consequences ofcontinued gridlock over the pas-sage of a budget resolution toavoid sequestration. "The condition and expected

service life of our ships and air-craft will further degrade,"Greenert said. "We will beforced to cancel or slow procure-ment of relevant platforms andsystems needed to preserve ourwarfighting superiority."Greenert further illustrated

the cascading effect of today'sfiscal decisions on future readi-ness and the community.

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy(MCPON)(AW/NAC) Mike D. Stevens completed athree-day trip to Naval Air Station (NAS)Jacksonville and Naval Base Guantanamo Bay Cuba(GTMO) February 15.MCPON participated in CPO 365 events, toured

base facilities, took the opportunity to discuss thefocus areas of his "Zeroing in on Excellence" initiative,and answered questions about new uniforms, budgetcuts, Family Readiness Group, the Performance toServe program, and deployments during base-wide allhands calls.CPO 365, a year-long development and training for

First Class Petty Officers, was first introduced in 2010under former MCPON Rick West. It includes two phas-es, the first of which begins in September each year.Under MCPON Steven's revised program, detailed inhis 2012-2013 CPO 365 Guidance, all First Class PettyOfficers will participate through the duration of PhaseOne, whether they are board-eligible or not. "CPO 365 is so important for the future development

of our First Class Petty Officers. "I believe that ifyou're going to lead the future force of our Navy thatyou must be armed with the best opportunities to suc-ceed," said Stevens. CPO 365 is designed to develop leaders through a

combination of mentorship, practical experience andtraining.

"I view this training as our most creative avenue toproductively engage Chiefs with petty officers andjunior officers, and to form enduring relationshipscharacterized by mutual respect," said Stevens. MCPON talked about the importance of effective

leadership during a CPO 365 training session inGTMO. "As you go through CPO 365, you will become a

more effective leader. If everything we do starts andstops with leadership, then every Sailor will benefitfrom a more effective leader." He also discussed the value of the Navy's leading

petty officers. "We must have exceptional leading petty officers,

because you are one of the critical components to theengine that makes the Navy run," said Stevens.Many Sailors showed concern about the looming fis-

cal environment. MCPON recognized the challengesthe Navy is currently facing, but asked that Sailorsfocus on controlling what we own. "It is easy to become distracted by things that are

beyond our control," said Stevens. He also remindedSailors of the things they do own and control; such astechnical training, administrative production, andthe execution of orders. "We also have the ability tocontrol much of our own lives by becoming andremaining physically, mentally, morally, and spiritu-ally sound."Fleet engagements are intended to provide senior

leadership with a frontline assessment of Sailors andwhat they are doing in the Fleet.

"The decisions we've had tomake did not come without sig-nificant consequences to ourpeople, to the defense industry,or to local economies. Impacts offunding we realign today cas-cade into future years,"Greenert said.Greenert firmly stated to

reporters after the hearing thatone area he will fight to pre-

serve and protect is familyreadiness and wellness."Family programs are impor-

tant," Greenert said. "I do notwant those constrained."Greenert said during his testi-

mony that he worries about thefurlough of civilian employeeswho support the fleet and specif-ically the ones employed at thefleet family service centers,

child care centers, those who aresexual assault advocates and insexual assault prevention. "All of those we worry about,"

Greenert said. "And I'm workingvery hard, and I've directed thatwe will not unfund, [for savings]our programs, our family readi-ness programs. We will protectthose and so I'm watching thatvery closely."

Religious Ministries’ Notes from Beyond

80%Challenge

Weekly meetings, winter and spring break trips, service proj-ects, metrics and numbers can sometimes get in the way oftruly evaluating the effectiveness of a program. Especially aprogram like Club Beyond where we are dealing with spiritu-al formation, resiliency and mentoring. How do you know yourstuff is working? How do you measure it? How do you captureit? One way is to take the responses we receive from the com-

munity seriously. We do count the ICE comments, emails,encouraging words and so forth. However, the one thing we allcan do is to Engage. We are expected to Engage at least 80%of our student population. That is to say that out of the 534middle and high school students enrolled in our Naples HighSchools, and the many others receiving homeschool education,we are expected to Engage about 450.This percentage came as a challenge from Chaplain Alan

Hansen to our program this past month. I have to be honesthere, at first I did not like it. It felt too lofty, and ambitious ofan idea. Too aggressive, too exaggerated. A few weeks havepassed since that conversation with Chaplain Hansen andnow I think we can do better than 80%. True, within time Iwill tend to agree whenever a Captain gives me a "sugges-tion", but in this particular case I think this challenge is onlyfair.It is only fair to expect a youth program to reach, invite, sup-

port, cheer, engage its entire targeted population. It is onlyfair to expect that adults with the passion and the love to "bethere" for our teens will shoot to be present for every singleone of them.Not only is it fair, but it recalls to memory instances in which

the few impacted the many. In which a couple of meager fishand loaves of bread fed a multitude. We are placed alongsidethose, who with limited resources, but a big dream and con-sistent effort, were able to make a big difference. This call forextraordinary is not exclusive to our Club Beyond program. Ibelieve, given the nature of our times, we all ought to reachout of our comfort zones and plan to achieve above and beyondour possibilities. It was Steve Jobs who once said, "because the ones who are

crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the oneswho do." Our order is not changing the world, but to see whatothers can't see, to exercise excellence in the midst of austeri-ty, to fulfill the task at hand regardless. It is following thisjourney that we recognize the fullness of our capacity, ourneed for each other, and the exercise of our faith. This column is not just "one more post" but a public

announcement. Our program isn't a "here for when you needit" kind of program. We are going public by saying we want to"be out there" even if you aren't aware we can assist you. Weare not about playing it safe and hoping for smooth sailings.We are about being present, showing up, supporting andengaging our targeting population - all 7th-12th graders inour NSA Naples community. We want to be there supportinggames, sharing school lunches, handing out flyers beforeschool, crashing the newspaper, and even hitting the airwavesof our AFN broadcasting station. A no time to hold back, allout kind of offense. We want all the students. The good, thebad, the awkward, the church faithful, the MP resident, thetall, the not so tall, the popular and the unnoticed ones. Wewant to reach 100% of our student population. What's your targeting purpose? What are you going after?

How are you playing your resources? Let's go out BIG andleave it all on the field and try our very best to achieve aboveand beyond our possibilities.

Arturo Paulino is the community director of Club Beyond, a youthgroup run by Naval Support Activity Naples Religious Ministries.Club Beyond is open to children in grades 7 through 12, and meetsWednesdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Chapel Fellowship Hall at theSupport Site.

Did you know that chronic stress is one of the major causes ofovereating and, at the same time, a trigger for weight loss dieters? What happens is that cortisol- a hormone released by the body as a

response to stress- is responsible for our cravings of carbs and sweets.Cortisol provides this extra energy to the fat cells near the liver wherethey are quickly converted into glucose so we can fight or fly. On theother hand, cortisol affects liver functionality and slows down theentire digestive system, inducing even more cravings. And the morefat that is stored, the harder it is to lose weight!Managing stress then becomes critical for weight control.

Diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mindful eat-ing, guided imagery, journaling and yoga are some of the techniquesdiscussed and experienced in the Stress Management class. Call Louise Cappiello at 081-811-6533 for more information.

other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain aSojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different froma visa, which is merely an approval for entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's

signature is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COM-

ING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service

Office (RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees theacquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navycommands in the Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed atJFC must apply through the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall'sOffice, Building L.Contact Connie Henderson, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-568-

The Navy initiated new measures to track and prevent cases of haz-ing, as announced in Naval Administrative message 137/13, releasedFeb. 20.Hazing occurs when a service member causes another to be exposed to

cruel, abusive, humiliating, oppressive, demeaning, or harmful activi-ties. Hazing can be physical, verbal, or psychological in nature. Thisbehavior is contrary to the Navy’s core values of honor, courage, andcommitment, as expressed by Adm. Scott Van Buskirk, chief of NavalPersonnel.“Hazing has no place within the Navy’s culture of dignity and respect

for every Sailor,” said Van Buskirk. “It diminishes our Sailors’ trust intheir Shipmates, their unit and our organization, it affects readiness,and it will not be tolerated. It is the responsibility of every Sailor anddeckplate leader to both reject and report hazing.”The NAVADMIN establishes the Navy Office of Hazing Prevention

(OPNAV N137) as the lead entity for hazing policy and tracking sub-stantiated cases. Within each command, hazing is tracked by assignedcommand managed equal opportunity (CMEO) program managers,equal opportunity advisors, and equal opportunity program managers,who will then work with commanding officers to ensure timely report-ing of incidents.Reporting procedures are outlined in the NAVADMIN.The Navy Office of Hazing Prevention is working to expand the

Military Equal Opportunity Network (MEONet) database to includetracking information on hazing incidents. MEONet is a standaloneonline web-based program that standardizes, tracks and reports admin-istrative actions associated with the primary duties of EO advisors andCMEO program managers.Tracking substantiated hazing events is vital to determining the extent

to which these events are occurring and the nature of such events, as wellas analyzing trends. Incidents of hazing will be reported by the NavyOffice of Hazing Prevention to the Chief of Naval Personnel quarterly.The full Department of Navy policy on hazing can be found in SEC-

NAVINST 1610.2A.

This past week, the Naples community reported two off-basevehicle break-ins. The incidents occurred in Pozzuoli and CastelVolturno.A victim stated she parked her vehicle in front of her residence

in Pozzuoli and noticed the passenger side window had been bro-ken and multiple items were missing when she returned to thevehicle the following morning. The other break-in occurred whilethe victim was at the beach in Castel Volturno. After approxi-mately five hours, the victim returned to the vehicle to find thedrivers side window broken out and multiple items missing. We would like to remind the communities that this time of the

year, the road conditions can be slippery due to increase in rainand cold weather. When driving, be mindful of other driversaround you and leave sufficient amount of space between you andother vehicles. Remember that you need more time and distanceto stop you vehicle when the pavement is wet.

For the first time while forward-deployed,amphibious assault ship USS BonhommeRichard (LHD 6) conducted landing opera-tions with the MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor air-craft, Feb. 19.The MV-22 Osprey is designed as the medi-

um-lift replacement for the Marine CorpsCH-46E Sea Knight assault support helicop-ter. The Osprey can operate as a helicopter ora turboprop aircraft and offers twice thespeed, six times the range and three timesthe payload of the CH-46E.“Today was the next stepping stone for

Osprey’s introduction into the 7th Fleet,” saidCmdr. Hans Sholley, “air boss” aboardBonhomme Richard. “After 40 years, this willbe the last float with the frogs [Sea Knights]and we will miss them.”On board Bonhomme Richard, the two

Ospreys conducted day time deck landingqualifications, carrier controlled approacheswith the ship’s amphibious air traffic controlcenter and short take off procedures.“This was my first time bringing in an

Osprey,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate(Handling) 3rd Class Barry Swanson. “I wasn’t

nervous because of the training I receivedabout the ins and outs of the MV-22s. Thewind gusts are stronger than the 46’s, but Iwas able to anticipate that.”The Osprey measures more than 57 feet

long, a wingspan of nearly 85 feet, a height of22 feet, airspeed of 280 knots; and a maxgross weight for a vertical take-off of 52,600pounds and 57,000 pounds for a short take-off.The crew of an Osprey consists of a pilot,

copilot and crew chief and is able to hold 24combat-equipped troops.“This is part of a crawl, walk, run process

that will get us ready for the next deploymentand effectively integrate the MV-22 into thisAOR [area of responsibility],” said Sholley.The MV-22 Osprey’s mission for the U.S.

Marine Corp is the transportation of troops,equipment and supplies from ships and landbases for combat assault.The Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready
