USS Ross (DDG 71) returned to Naval Station Rota, July 20, after completing its second forward deployed patrol in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

Ross, an Arleigh Burke-c l a s s g u i d e d - m i s s i l e destroyer, forward deployed to Rota, Spain, departed March 18, and performed maritime security operations throughout the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, and participated in numerous bilateral exercises with NATO allies and partners.

“USS Ross’ mission within the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea has been c r i t i ca l t o rea f f i rm the United States commitment to securi ty and stabi l i ty in the region,” said Cmdr. Tadd Gorman, USS Ross commanding officer. “We now return to our homeport in Rota, Spain with confidence that our relationships with our NATO allies and regional partners are stronger and more developed.”

D u r i n g t h i s p a t r o l Ross conducted tact ical exchanges with naval forces f r om Cyp rus , Uk ra ine ,

Turkey, and Greece. Ross made port visits to Haifa, Israel; Souda Bay, Greece; Larnaca, Cyprus and Gaeta, Italy over the course of the patrol.

Ross entered the Black Sea in May, strengthening partnerships and reassuring NATO a l l ies as par t o f Operation Atlantic Resolve. While in the Black Sea, Ross participated in passing exercises with the Ukrainian and Romanian Navy.

Many embarked Sailors achieved career milestones during the patrol. Among the accomplishments 30 Sailors advanced to the next rank and 19 Sailors earned their Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist qualification.

“Our Sailors displayed operational excellence during this deployment to make our mission an overall success and I’m proud of each and every one of them,” said Gorman.

Team Rota,Wow! Summer is here and we are in full swing with great

weather, food, adult and youth sporting activities, as well as visits from distinguished visitors.

Another major item that coincides with summer and mil i tary personnel is permanent change of station (PCS) season. As most of us might be aware, the majority of Department of Defense personnel request to transfer during summer months to help with the transition from one location to another. If you are departing Rota, please

make sure you start this process as early as possible to ensure your family is taken care of and if you hit a roadblock, you should have ample time to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel flights for departing personnel because they did not complete their checkout process in a timely manner.

If you just arrived in the Rota or are scheduled to PCS soon,

be sure to check out the new Welcome Aboard Program. I am quite sure that sponsors are informing their new check-ins on specifics in regards to life in Rota, but if there are other questions you may have or you are just curious, make sure you check out our the new Welcome Aboard Program. It can be found on our official Naval Station Rota Facebook page or CNIC website. The program is based on the comments, questions and feedback from everyone in this community to make it better. Please take advantage of it and pass it on to our new and incoming family members.

This past week we had the opportunity to host and welcome the Navy's Ombudsman at Large, Mrs. Martha Faller. She had the opportunity to receive briefs and sit in on focus groups with all levels of leadership to see if she can be of service to help our community and families. If you or your spouse attended, thank you for your participation and taking the time out of your schedule to meet with her. Based on her feedback, she was extremely impressed with Naval Station Rota.

As we move into the second half of summer, please remember, have fun and be safe in everything you do!

Thank you for what you do! HOORAH! 212 CMC

The CoasTline | July 23, 2015 3

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) has embarked on several aggressive strategies to reduce energy consumption, increase efficiency, and achieve the Secretary of the Navy's goal to have one gigawatt (1GW) of renewable energy on or near Department of Navy installations by December 2015.

Around the world, Navy installations are implementing energy projects to meet the Navy's energy goals.

At Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella, Italy, for example, solar hot water panels have been installed on 13 barracks to reduce the amount of energy needed to keep the building's water supply hot.

In Sasebo, Japan, solar panels were installed on the public works building roof to improve energy efficiency for the building and base, and at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, four wind turbines were erected at the child development center to help generate alternative power. These changes are just a few of the initiatives that are taking place.

In addition to achieving these energy goals, CNIC has developed the Navy Shore Geospatial Energy Module (NSGEM) to track the progress being made. An interactive web map, the NSGEM visually depicts monthly energy for each facility at every installation to monitor energy goal achievements.

According to Sandrine Schultz, Navy Installations Command's energy program director, the NSGEM tool was initiated in October 2012 and is easy to use. It also has played an important role in the Energy Biggest Loser

(EBL) competition taking place across installations in the Region Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA) area of responsibility.

"NSGEM is very important because it provides an easy way for Sailors to understand efficiency at commands across

the Navy all the way down to the facility level," said Schultz. "We use NSGEM to determine the energy bill for competing facilities in the Energy Biggest Loser competition."

The EBL competition was initiated at Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Greece, one of seven installations under Region EURAFSWA to motivate competition among them.

Through simple acts such as turning off lights when leaving the room, unplugging devices that are not in use, and turning off computers at the end of the work day, commands are finding easy ways to reduce power consumption.

The winning installation is chosen based on the greatest percent of reduction in electrical consumption.

"The number one electrical loads on Navy installations are heaters and air conditioners," said Cmdr. Jay Cavnar, energy and utilities branch head at CNIC.

Cavnar hopes that innovative programs such as the EBL competition will spread to all Navy installations world-wide and raise awareness on ways to reduce energy consumption.

While only in its second year, the EBL event is making great strides and creating a buzz.

"We make sure to turn off any equipment that is not being used, such as computer monitors and printers," said Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Howard Foster, assigned to Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy. "It's a team effort that everyone does their part in order to help conserve energy in our office and around the building. Last year, Unaccompanied Housing came in last place and we are trying to make sure that does not happen this year."

Cavnar and Schultz work directly with Navy regions and installations to identify inefficiencies, and also work with utility companies to find

ways to reduce power and fuel consumption across the Navy shore enterprise.

CNIC is comprised of 70 installations under 11 regions with more than 52,000 military and civilian personnel to sustain the fleet, enable the fighter, and support Navy families worldwide.

REMINDER: If the service member does not have an evaluation within the period specified, a special eval must be prepared for the CURRENT pay grade with August 31, 2015 in Block 15. The point of contact for any advancement exam questions is Personnel Specialist 3rd Class Brittni Lozano at [email protected] or by calling 727-3023.

In recognition of the sustained efforts of the spouses and dependent children of our deployed military members, the Department of Defense (DoD) policy on space-available travel for dependents of deployed members is being updated to reflect the recommendation of the Military Com-pensation and Retirement Modernization Commission Recommendation Assessment.

Effective immediately, dependents of military members deployed for 30 or more consecutive days are authorized to travel space-available on DoD aircraft in Category IV. This change will be incorporated into DoD Instruction 4515.13R, "Air Transportation Eligibility," which is currently under revision.

The heat of summer is upon us! This is a great time to explore the local produce stands for some fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating more fresh produce is one of the best things you can do for your health. Fresh fruits and vegetables are generally more nutritious than those that have been juiced, canned or cooked. A variety of colorful fruits and vegetables provides sources of essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to the proper functioning of cells and tissue within the body. Some important nutrients are fiber, potassium, folate, magnesium and vitamins A and C. Vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables are found in many different colors including red, yellow, orange, dark green and blue. Eating a rainbow of color can ensure that you are getting a wide range of vitamins and minerals.

Produce that has been locally grown holds a higher nutritional value than those that spend days or weeks in transit. Lighten up your day with some of your favorite fruits and veggies. Seasonal fruit that is at its peak right now include: cherries, watermelon, peaches, apricots, melons and figs. Cold, fresh fruit is a refreshing treat on hot day that your family wil l love. Incorporating five servings of fruit and vegetables a day will help add to your fluid intake as well.

Some fresh ideas for summer include: •Roasted vegetables on the grill•Fresh squeezed lemonade•Fruit kabobs for a family snack•Peach smoothie•Vegetable filled wonton rollsThis summer, be adventurous and

explore the fresh produce markets of Rota, El Puerto de Santa Maria, Chipiona and Sanlucar. You wil l be in for a refreshing and low calorie treat and stayHealthy For Life!

MA1 Francis Carmon IIITeam Rota in the Spotlight

Photo by MC2 (SW) Grant Wamack

A native of College Station, Texas, Master-at-Arms 1st Class Francis Carmon III joined the Navy in June 2003. After completing basic training at Great Lakes, Illinois, he attended Master-at-Arms “A” School at Lackland Air Force Base San Antonio, Texas for eight weeks. In November 2003, he arrived at his first command Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain where he conducted patrols and was part of Operation Vigilant Mariner (embarked security team on a ship) for 20 months. Afterwards, he transferred to NSA Naples, Italy in 2005 where he conducted patrols for two years. In 2007 he arrived at Naval Station Ingleside, Texas where he conducted patrols and worked in security’s training division for three years.

In 2010, he transferred to NSA Annapolis, Maryland patrols and worked as security’s training division leading petty officer until 2012. Afterwards, he went to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for a year where he worked a year as the harbor leading petty officer. In January 2014, he arrived in Rota, Spain

where he joined the security department. Carmon serves as the leading petty

officer of the training division of security and manages two Sailors. He’s in charge of making sure everyone in security meets their security requirements and gives tests to qualify Sailors. He tracks, monitors, and screens training records. Additionally, he presents a variety of power points and tries to incorporate practical applications into the training as well.

“I like my job,” said Carmon. “It’s rewarding when you hear people say my training was useful and they actually found a way to apply it in the real world.”

C a r m o n s a i d h i s b i g g e s t accomplishment thus far in the Navy was earning his associate’s degree and having a direct hand in certain Sailors progression in their career thanks to his training.

Carmon believes there’s always a right way to do things and feels this is especially prevalent in the master-at-arms rate. A quote that he likes that represents this is from Josh Greene. Greene said, “There’s an easy way to do things and then there’s a right way to do things.”

As a Chaplain, sometimes I feel like a life coach and I love that part of my job.

I’m bumping into people all the time who are searching for a way to find and live out their life’s purpose, their passion, their calling, or whatever you want to call it. It’s that Zen-like state where you’re at peace with yourself, your social relationships and the world around you because you’re doing what you know you were always meant to do. It’s that feeling where all your cylinders are firing in a synchronized, rhythmic dance and your spirit is just humming. It’s that time where, well…time just disappears.

You know what I’m talking about because you’ve been there from time to time at some point in your life and you’ve tried to hang onto it, to remain in that state. But it can be slippery and elusive. Finding and securing it sometimes feels like a mystery even a great detective could not unlock.

It only complicates matters that as humans we are always progressing, changing, moving forward, experiencing and adapting. Research even shows we shed our entire skin for a new skin-suit every seven years. In fact, every single cell in our skeleton is replaced in the same timeframe. It’s no surprise then that our mental, emotional, social, indeed our whole spirituality, is also changing and evolving.

Where does that leave us then? Constantly searching for our true selves and a way to live out our purposes, to

feel alive. Maybe you’re looking for the next adventure after the military, something to fill your free time, or maybe just a new way to look at your present life and work.

While hanging out at a retreat with Rob Bell, I learned four very helpful questions to keep before us throughout our life’s journeys.

What makes you feel most alive?What are you doing when all feels right with the world? When your skin is

tingling and you’re giddy with excitement? When the blood is surging through your veins? When you can think of nothing else you’d rather be doing in that moment? When you feel “in the zone?” Be both general and specific in your lists, e.g. in general, I like teaching, but more specifically, I like teaching about the following topics: spirituality, public speaking, and writing.

What makes you angry?I’m not talking about petty disagreements, minor inconveniences, road rage

or the like here. What makes you angry in the deep? The kind of anger that lasts and has purpose other than the advancement of self? Maybe it’s the abuse of

people or the mistreatment of animals in the world. Maybe it’s poverty, human trafficking, world hunger, or any of the plethora of social ills and evils. For me, one of the biggest examples is the use of religion or the Bible to harm, abuse, or repress people. Find brokenness in the world that incites you to anger, and then let it incite you to action to mend and heal the brokenness around you.

What are you curious about?What stimulates your inquisitive nature? What makes the five W’s (Who,

What, When, Where, and Why) become the first five letters of your alphabet? What sends you scurrying to your favorite, Internet search engine? Check out your search history, your book and magazine collection, your favorite television shows, and your social media likes or posts. All will give clues when you look for patterns and consistency. What sparks your quest for knowledge?

What gets you up in the morning?I am the typical “mornings would be great if they started at noon” person. Not

much gets me up except the Navy, deer hunting, deadlines and stress. That’s about it, but maybe your answers will be more helpful. What is it that makes you jump out of bed, toss the covers, and charge eyes wide open into the day? What fuels you with anticipation at the rising sun? What are the first most interesting things on your mind as the dawn cracks?

Take a month and journal the answers to these questions as you are simply living life. In it, we will find a path of seeds dropped along our way. Find them, plant them, water them, nurture them, and from them, life will spring.

Along the way, you might want to give spirituality a nod if you haven’t already (and by “spirituality,” don’t read “institutionalized religion,” which is but one element of the matrix). In a post-enlightenment, science-dependent culture, it’s easy to write off our spirituality as an unnecessary, useless or even non-existent part of our life and world. I’m one of those annoying people who believe everything is spiritual and that the imprint you find within is the mark of a good and loving Creator. We can try to ignore the spirit, but it will only leave a question mark and a panging emptiness in an otherwise holistic state of being.

What’s more, we must lose it on those around us by helping others find their way. The journey inward must always lead outward. The pursuit of the inner life, if pursued solely for its own end, will always produce an incomplete humanity. We are social creatures designed to live in community. We are both receiving from and breathing into our web of social relationships a life sustenance that animates the whole. To find yourself, you must find others.

I’ve always loved the quote attributed to William Wallace: “All men die, but not all men truly live.” May we all find abundant life. May we all find the radical generosity to share it with one another. And may we all become alive.

The Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) 7 hosted the Public Health Emergency Risk Communication Course aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain, July 13 to15.

Approximately 20 participants from various commands within the European area of operations (AOR) attended the training.

The course is designed to strengthen the communication skills of medical, emergency response, public affairs and other key personnel who may be called upon to both deliver and exchange information with stakeholders during an emergency.

These skills are especially important during a crisis situation when multiple factors are present that impede effective communication.

Crisis events where the information is either highly technical, conflicting or incomplete, or where emotions are running high, are some of the factors that key personnel and communicators must deal with.

"This is transformational training," said Capt. Juliann Althoff, NEPMU 7 officer in charge. "It teaches skills which allow our team of public health specialists to better communicate through the challenges that may be encountered during a health emergency. These skills matter, regardless if you are talking to one patient or a population of people, understanding perception of risk and knowing how to get your message across effectively really makes a difference."

The three-day interactive course included a two-day risk communication workshop and an optional day of media training in which students roleplayed in a mock media interviews.

The course was sponsored by the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC) and presented by Fulton Communications, a communications issues management firm that provides communications consulting and training. The training team includes Keith Fulton and Sandy Martinez, president and CEO respectively of Fulton Communications, and Dr. Paul Gillooly, NMCPHC Health Risk Communications, all of whom have had decades of experience communicating risk to the public during crises.

While Gillooly provided Navy specific risk communication training, the Fulton team used both instruction and role-play to teach students how to handle various communication issues including handling strong emotions and conveying perception of risk to stakeholders.

"Our goal is to assist Navy and Marine Corps personnel to clearly and effectively communicate on a daily basis with any stakeholder on any issue that could potentially affect our operations and our mission," said Gillooly. "We strive to teach proven risk communication tools and techniques. This will provide a consistent framework for explaining environmental, health or safety risks to our many stakeholders."

"The risk communications course is essential to anyone who may need to interact with the public," said 1st Lt. Danielle Dixon, Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa (SPMAGTF-CR-AF) public affairs officer. "We learned how to communicate clear and precise information to the public and our fellow service members, in order to better inform our audiences and ensure we can deescalate or resolve a variety of situations, including crises."

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 au-thorized 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 de-pendents 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.

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert on Monday released a document that highlights the U.S. Navy's intended track and investments for the next five fiscal years.

"This year's navigation plan highlights our Navy's key investments, which support missions and functions outlined in the defense strategic guidance (DSG)," said Greenert in the document. "Our mandate is to be where it matters, when it matters, ready to respond to crises and ensure the security that underpins our global economy."

Greenert's 2016-2020 Navigation Plan defines how the Navy will use its resources to safely and effectively pursue the vision detailed in Sailing Directions.

Each year since Greenert released the Sailing Directions the Navigation Plan has described the annual Navy's budget submission for the future years.

In the plan Greenert explains the requirement to the four enduring functions around which the Navy has historically organized, trained and equipped: deterrence, sea control, power projection and maritime security, as well as capabilities related to a new fifth function, all domain access. This plan highlights how investments will support Navy missions through the lens of the three tenets: Warfighting First, Operate

Forward and Be Ready.Greenert emphasizes in the document

that everything Sailors and civilians do must be grounded in the responsibility of warfighting first. He says the Navy must have the capability and capacity to conduct war at sea and win decisively. He provided a list of capabilities that center on this objective and followed with a comparable list of items that support operate forward and be ready.

Additionally, the Navigation Plan summarizes the six programmatic priorities that guided the Navy's budget planning for the future of the fleet: maintaining a credible, modern and survivable sea-based strategic deterrent, sustain forward presence, distributed globally in places that count, develop the capability and capacity to win decisively, focus on critical afloat and ashore readiness to ensure our Navy is adequately funded and ready, enhance the Navy's asymmetric capabilities in the physical domains as well as in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum and sustain a relevant industrial base, particularly in shipbuilding.

This navigation plan was released by Greenert to Navy's senior leaders and distr ibuted on Navy's social media properties as a priority to be communicated at all levels.

Post Office Implements Change in U.S. Customs FormBy MC2 (SW) Grant WamackNAVSTA Rota Public Affairs

The post office on base is implementing a new change in the customs form to make the process smoother and more efficient.

Starting October 1, all overseas post offices will be mandated to use U.S. Postal Service (USPS) electronic customs forms.

“Changes are being made because the customs agencies in the States are basically doing an in-depth screen in real-time. The customs forms are entered online and then they will be sent electronically through these algorithms that look for different kinds of information of what’s being sent,” said Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Zachary Stephens, the custodian of postal effect. “Packages need to have a confirmation saying this is good to go. A lot of things are getting caught up in customs because it hasn’t been approved to be sent out.”

Postal clerks won’t be able to accept packages that do not have an electronic approval from the USPS. On average the online form should be accepted within seven minutes.

“This is pretty crucial,” said Stephens. “This will aid in everyone getting in and out of the post office in a swiftly manner. If this is not implemented with the rising population on base, the only result will be extremely long waits as we only have one click-n-ship terminal in the Post Office.

Customers can sign up for a USPS account online at the following website, https://cns.usps.com/cfo/ShippingInformationAction_input

COME OUT AND ENJOY A GREAT TIME!


We are entering the PCS season and want to remind Department of Defense (DoD) passengers of health concerns associated with transporting pets, especially snub or pug-nosed pets. All pets are susceptible to the risk of heat stroke, respiratory problems, and the possibility of death. The risk is increased for snub or pug-nosed pets. For health and safety concerns, we recommend pet owners discuss their pets’ susceptibility to complications with a local veterinarian prior to air transport. Ensure all passengers traveling with pets are clearly aware of the dangers, especially when transporting snub or pug-nosed pets.

Rota to Conduct the Big Latch-On for World Breastfeeding Week

Each year during the first week of August, in order to raise aware-ness of the benefits of breastfeeding, the World Alliance for Breast-feeding Action organized World Breastfeeding Week. This global awareness campaign is celebrated in more than 120 countries.

Naval Station Rota will be kicking off World Breastfeeding Week by participating in the Global Big Latch-On. The Big Latch-On will take place on July 31 at 10:30 a.m. where breastfeeding moms from the Rota community will simultaneously latch their babies/children on in a synchronized breastfeeding event. The Big Latch-On will take place at the Child Development Center courtyard in order to support this year’s World Breastfeeding Week theme of “Breast-feeding and Work: Let’s Make it Work!” All breastfeeding moms are highly encouraged to come out for the Big Latch-On starting at 10 a.m. in order to provide time for registration.

To continue in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota and Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society will be hosting several events over the course of the week. All are welcomed to attend in support of breastfeeding efforts on base:

- July 31 at 10:30 a.m.; The Big Latch-On in the CDC courtyard. Please arrive at 10:00 a.m. for registration

- August 3 at 10:30 a.m.; Pilates (with or without your stroller) in the U.S. Naval Hospital Courtyard with “Best Breast Cupcake Contest”

- August 4 at 10:30 a.m.; Free Smoothies inside the commissary- August 5 at 10:30 a.m.; Pool Party with gift basket raffle at the

housing poolPlease join us at any of the above events. The benefits of breast-

feeding are numerous and in order to promote the best nutrition for our babies and children it is important to show support for our breastfeeding moms.

If you have any questions about these events contact Lt. Cyn-thia Nicholson at U.S. Naval Hospital Rota 727-3655 or email your questions to [email protected].

1. If you are using the air conditioner to cool your home, don’t let air seep into your home through the doors and windows. Check them to make sure they are well insulated and weather-stripped; otherwise you’ll be wasting energy.

2. Open doors and windows in the morning if the weather is fresh and cool (like many summer days in the Rota area) to avoid heat accumulation in your office or home.

3. When shopping for windows, use the energy performance labels developed by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)—many windows on the market carry them—as your guide to selecting energy-efficient units.

4. When installing or replacing 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.

Weekly Energy Tip: Doors and Windows

REMINDER: Per COMNAVACT Spain Instruction 5100.2, it is prohibited to wear headphones, earphones or other devices that restrict or prevent the ability to hear traffic while walking, jogging, running or bicycling.
