Continued on page 5

The Navy recently an-nounced the commencementof the Navy ProfessionalReading Program (NPRP)that currently includes 60 titlesranging from naval history tonovels written by modern-dayauthors.

The NPRP is an importantcomponent of Chief of NavalOperation’s priority to “De-velop 21st Century Leaders.”Its slogan, “Accelerate YourMind,” challenges Sailors totake an active role in their ownprofessional development.

“Meeting the Navy’s cur-rent challenges demands of usall a broad understanding ofour profession and an in-formed awareness of theworld around us,” said Adm.Mike Mullen, Chief of NavalOperations (CNO). “Readingis key to this expanded aware-ness and understanding.”

The books in the NPRPhave been divided into sixtopic categories - leadership,naval and military heritage,joint and combined warfare,regional and cultural aware-ness, critical thinking, andmanagement and strategicplanning.

Several of recommendedbooks include: ‘D-Day, June6, 1944: The Climactic Battleof World War II,’ by StephenE. Ambrose; ‘Flags of Our Fa-thers,’ by James Bradley; and‘Life in Mr. Lincoln’s Navy,’by Dennis J. Ringle.

‘Life in Mr. Lincoln’s Navy’

gives an accounting of everyaspect of the common Sailor’slife in the Union navy, fromrecruiting, clothing, training,shipboard routine, entertain-ment, and wages, to diet,health, and combat experi-ence. Author Dennis Ringlecalls attention to the enlistedSailor’s enormous contribu-tions to the development of theU.S. Navy as it moved fromwood and sail to iron andsteam.

Other recommended read-ing includes ‘The Caine Mu-tiny,’ by Herman Wouk; ‘TheSand Pebbles,’ by RichardMcKenna; and ‘The Art of

Winning an Unfair Game,’ byMichael Lewis.

Abraham Lincoln once saidthat reading “is the key to al-ready-solved problems…anda facility for successfully pur-suing the unsolved ones.”

“Put simply,” noted Adm.Mullen, “reading fosters criti-cal thinking, and critical think-ing makes us better leadersand better warfighters.”

“Reading makes us all bet-ter people and Sailors,” saidCMDCM (SW/SS) LarryCairo. “We exercise our brainand learn from what we read.Reading allows us to come intouch with situations we may

normally not get to experience,but at the same time allows usto learn from them. Then if wefind ourselves in a similar situ-ation, we have an idea how towork through it. Reading isjust another way to broadenour horizons through diversity,to get out of our box and learnfrom others.”

The books on this list havebeen carefully chosen by apanel of Navy leaders andscholars. They include award-winning histories, biographies,novels, business bestsellersand more.

How well do you know GTMO history?Story by LT Lauren Coia, USN, JTF-Joint Intelligence Group

Mr. Pete Becola, Guantanamo Bay’sHistorical Center volunteer curator andresearcher, wants to spread the word thatGTMO is a place abounding with cultureand heritage. For example, some GTMOresidents may be unaware that Christo-pher Columbus landed in Guantanamo Bayin 1494; that GTMO was home to theworld’s largest rifle range from 1907-1941; or that the USS MONONGAHELA,once Admiral Farragut’s distinguishedflagship, and the only ship everhomeported in Guantanamo Bay, caughtfire here and sank between Officers andFlag Landings.

A 33-year Army veteran who retired asa Chief Warrant Officer, and whoseawards include the Legion of Merit, PeteBecola served 12 years in the SpecialForces as a Green Beret, and completedtours in Vietnam, Panama, and Germany.Following his Army career, he served asan interrogation instructor at Ft.Huachuca, Ariz., before coming GTMOto work in the Detainee AssessmentBranch of the Joint Task Force ( JTF)Joint Intelligence Group.

His lifelong fascination with history wassparked during his childhood, when hegrew up listening to the stories of WorldWar I and II veterans. When Becola ar-rived in GTMO in August 2005, the basehistorical center was closed. When it wasreopened, he wanted to help other baseresidents learn about the rich history inwhich the base had been involved.

The historical center is what used to bethe lighthouse keeper’s quarters next to

the lighthouse, located offSherman Avenue, betweenPhillips Park and Cable Beach.It is an MWR facility, operatedby two volunteers, Becola andhistory major-turned-lab tech-nician, Joval Gapuz.

During his time working atthe Historical Center, Becolahas spearheaded manyprojects. He has encouragedthe donation of historical arti-facts, and has reinvigorated thecenter’s displays. He has alsobegun gathering support forrenovations to the monumentto the first two Marines killedin the Spanish-American war,Privates William Dumphy and JamesMcColgan, located at the actual site oftheir death (a mere 500 meters offSherman Ave.).

One of the future projects planned forthe historical center includes a Joint TaskForce-GTMO display, an idea devised byRDML Harry Harris Jr., JTF commander.The display will include a detainee bed,“comfort items,” various detainee uni-forms, and a pictorial history of the JTF,beginning with Camp X-Ray.

Becola wants the people stationed andassigned here to understand that there ismore to GTMO than meets the eye at firstglance. He wants to revive interest in thebase’s history, and leave a legacy ofGuantanamo Bay cultural pride and aware-ness, in part through the development ofan impressive and memorable historical

center.He also wants to elicit more volunteers

to aid in the renovation of the base’s nu-merous historical sites, and wishes to sim-ply share his much-loved hobby with oth-ers.

Pete insists, “I want to give people abetter appreciation for what GTMO standsfor, because it’s more than just a deten-tion center.”

The Historical Center is open on Satur-day, 1 - 4 p.m. The next time someonevisits, ask Becola to tell the tale of twoMarines and three sailors who wereawarded the Congressional Medal ofHonor for selfless acts at Guantanamo Bay,or about how the 1st Marine Battalion’ssuccess at the Battle of Cuzco Well pre-served the future of the United StatesMarine Corps.

Guantanamo Bay parentsfound another outlet to cel-ebrate the fall season with theirchildren during ‘Octoberfest,’sponsored by the Child andYouth Program (CYP), heldOct. 28, at the Youth Center.

Thirteen fairytale-inspiredhouses were displayed outsidethe center for area children towander through and explore, asthey grabbed a few sweettreats along the way.

The CYP encompassesChild Development Home Pro-viders, the Teen Center, theChild Development Center, andthe Youth Center, whose staffmembers created the hand-crafted houses for the commu-nity to explore, said Terrill Hill,CYP administrator.

The event was another av-enue for parents to get mileageout of their children’s cos-tumes, and at the same timegave the children a chance touse their imagination and ex-ploration skills.

“It’s good for them becausethey get more chances to dress-

up, and it makes Halloween alittle longer for them,” saidBM2(SW/AW) Raquel Saspe,who took her daughter Sarina.“She really loves dressing up,and could not make up her mindon what she wanted to be. Weactually ended up with four dif-ferent costumes. I think shealso expected people to handher candy, but she was able toactually get her own candy ineach little house. She thoughtit was a lot of fun. It also wasan opportunity for her to showher playful side as well.”

The night wasn’t just aboutchildren, it also offered a re-prieve for parents who mighthave needed some personaltime.

“If you wanted, you couldlet them stay until midnight,”said Maria Saddler, “so parentscould have a night out. It’sgreat, because you know thekids are in good hands and willbe well taken care with lots ofactivities to keep them occu-pied while you’re gone.”

ISD restrictsinternet use

ISD recently installed a soft-ware package called “SuperScout” that automatically blockssites in the categories of enter-tainment, streaming video, gam-ing, chat rooms, blogging andshopping.

Many web sites previouslyaccessible prior to this softwareinstallation are now blocked. ISDis receiving numerous requeststo unblock sites because they are“harmless” or “innocent,” andare accessed primarily for per-sonal vice job related use.

The NAVSTA instruction foracceptable use of Internet andemail was last reviewed andmodified in May 2004. At thattime there were limited resourcesavailable for personnel to accessthe Internet or e-mail for per-sonal use; therefore, the policywas fairly unrestrictive. GTMOnow has two commercialInternet service providers, libertycenters, the library and anInternet cafe with wireless con-nectivity available for personaluse.

NAVSTA has become in-creasingly dependent on theavailability of bandwidth for day-to-day business activities. Wehave advanced to the point thatwe are, in a practical sense, to-tally dependent on havingInternet/NIPR available to ac-complish our mission.

Due to the bandwidth require-ments for web-based applica-tions and increased e-mail re-quirements, it is necessary to re-strict Internet traffic to prima-rily Official Government Busi-ness on the NAVSTA network.

If sites are blocked that arerequired in the performance ofyour duties, submit a requestthrough your chain-of-com-mand to [email protected] for review.

After a tour of the cardboard homes,with themes from famous tales such asAlice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, andHansel and Gretel, children were given aprize from a ‘treasure’ box before theirfinal exit down an impromptu ‘red car-pet.’ Many used the opportunity to showoff their costumes in style before head-ing home.

“It was great they also had the red car-pet down, so the children could show offtheir costumes and feel like ‘superstars,’”laughed Saddler.

“I thought it was very successful,”added Hill. “We really wanted try and of-fer something for families who don’t cel-ebrate Halloween, so I thought it gavethem another outlet to celebrate and letthe children dress-up. We were veryproud of staff that made the houses, andwe were glad to see the parents bring theirchildren out. We had such a good responsethat we plan on adding to it next year andmaking it even better.”

the books in the NPRP are readily acces-sible through the base library. The NavyExchange will also have some of themfor sale. For those who might not bestrong readers, audio versions of mostof them can be downloaded for free fromthe Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) Website.

“The base library has had many cop-ies of these books before the suggestedreading list came out, said MaxineBecker, base librarian. “Many of themare on the best sellers’ lists. I think itwas a very good choice of books. It’s awide range of both fiction and non-fic-tion. I was very impressed with thebooks that they’ve chosen.”

“The vision of the required reading pro-gram is learning from our past,” saidCMDCM Cairo. “Books, whether theyare fact or fiction, are based off provenmethods. This is what makes the storywork. Why not use these tools to de-velop our methods and use them to ac-complish the mission.”
