EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to an error with the printer, last week's CO's corner did not run. It is published below. We apologize for any confusion.

Fundraising Season is Upon Us Hola Rota, Welcome back from the Memorial Day holiday. I hope you were all able to recharge your batteries, travel, get some rest or accomplish whatever you needed to get done over the long weekend. It was a wonderful opportunity to take time out to remember those who have fallen in defense of our nation – and I’m glad everyone made it back safe and sound. It’s getting considerably warmer out, which means fundraising season is here and I’m sure all the private organizations are preparing to get their efforts underway. Fundraising is a wonderful way to supCapt. Scott C. Kraverath port our various private COMNAVACTS Spain organizations and all that they do, but it’s important to remember that we have guidelines and instructions to follow as we set out on these endeavors. Please keep in mind there are four federally-sanctioned organizations/categories that are allowed to raise funds on military bases. They are; Combined Federal Campaign (includes Relay for Life), NavyMarine Corps Relief Society, Toys for Tots and organizations primarily run by our own members for the benefit of our own members (First Class Petty Officers Association, various Navy and other Ball Committees, etc.). In order to raise funds, organizations should follow a few simple rules: First, private organizations must stop by the MWR administrative office to complete a package/request to conduct a fundraiser (no more than two per month). Organizations must conduct their fundraisers in authorized locations; car washes in the drive-in parking lot, Sea View Pines parking lot and the Security/Hay Motivo parking lot; the areas outside the video mart (one organization at a time); and the area between the NEX and commissary (only two organizations at a time). It’s also important to note that private organizations are prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages. They also may not solicit or receive sponsorships. Lastly, the following activities are currently not allowed

Obama Announces Military-to-Civilian Skills Certification Program

By Claudette Roulo American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama recently announced a new presidential initiative aimed at preparing service members for civilian employment. Obama provided details about the military-to-civilian certification program during his visit to a Honeywell International Inc. plant in Golden Valley, Minn. Defense contractor Honeywell reportedly has hired hundreds of military veterans at its plants and facilities since early 2011. “Let me tell you something - if you can save a life on the battlefield, you can save a life in an ambulance. If you can oversee a convoy or millions of dollars of assets in Iraq, you can help manage a supply chain or balance its books here at home,” Obama said at the plant. “If you can maintain the most advanced weapons in the world, if you’re an electrician on a Navy ship, well, you can manufacture the next generation of advanced technology in our factories like this one. If you’re working on complex machinery, you should be able to take those skills and find a manufacturing job right here - right here at home.” But unfortunately, Obama said, many returning veterans with such advanced skills “don’t get hired simply because they don’t have the civilian licenses or certifications that a lot of companies require.” At the same time, the president noted, business leaders often say they can’t find enough workers with the skills necessary to fill open positions. “Eighty percent of manufacturers say this, according to one survey,” Obama said. “So think about it - we got all these openings and all these skilled veterans looking for work, and somehow they’re missing each other.” That doesn’t make any sense, the president said, noting it’s time to fix it. “Today, I’m proud to announce new partnerships between the military and manufacturing groups that will make it easier for companies to hire returning service members who prove they’ve earned the skills

our country needs,” Obama said. “Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen - if they’ve got skills in machining or welding or weapons maintenance, for example, you’ll have a faster track to good-paying manufacturing jobs.” “Service members with experience in logistics or maintenance on the front lines” will “have a faster track to jobs in those fields here at home,” he added. The initiative will enable up to 126,000 service members to obtain civilian credentials and certifications in a number of high-demand industries, officials said. "I applaud President Obama's initiative to help thousands of service members obtain industry-recognized certifications for the trade skills they have learned and worked hard to master while in uniform,” Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said in a statement issued today. The Defense Department has created a military credentialing and licensing task force as part of the initiative, officials said. It developed partnerships with major manufacturing credentialing agencies to expand certifications to active duty military personnel in the fields of engineering, logistics, maintenance and welding. "Supported by the efforts of the Defense Department's military credentialing and licensing task force, these certifications will give our returning troops a leg up in a competitive job market, and they will make it easier for veterans to transition to civilian life,” Panetta said. Service members can earn these credentials free of charge. The services will also explore how credentialing opportunities can be integrated into existing military training programs and expanded to include everyone with relevant skills and training, the officials said. The initiative was developed in response to a report on veterans’ employment by the President’s Council of Economic Advisers and the National Economic Council. The report, Military Skills for America’s Future: Leveraging Military Service and Experience to Put Veterans and Military Spouses Back to Work, describes the difficulties

faced by veterans and military spouses in transitioning their military experience to civilian employment. Three such partnerships will begin this summer, the officials said. The first partnership is between the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council and the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, and will involve a pilot program for a limited number of service members. They will be eligible to “achieve industry-recognized credentials that can support a transition from military service to frontline jobs in the growing fields of advanced manufacturing and logistics,” according to a statement issued by the White House. The second partnership, among the Army, the American Welding Society and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, will provide unlimited certification testing at the U.S. Army Ordnance School at Fort Lee, Va., for Soldiers in certain machinist and welding specialties. The school trains about 20,000 service members each year to develop, produce and maintain weapons. Service members who acquire these specialties will automatically receive the equivalent civilian credentials. The third partnership, between the Army and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, will expand certification opportunities for officers and warrant officers at the Army’s Engineer School at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The school will conduct a one-year pilot program for students to qualify as Certified Manufacturing Technologists and earn Lean Bronze Certification - industry-standard manufacturing engineering certifications. "Going forward, the president and I will remain committed to addressing the full range of challenges our troops and their families face as they leave the service, and to making sure that these men and women have the support they so richly deserve,” Panetta said in his statement. “They are a national asset, and they stand ready to continue making our country great in their civilian careers."

Burn Ban Issued for Summer By Tony Rice

Have You Tried Daylight? By CE1(EXW) Travis Harvey Public Works Department

NAVSTA Fire Inspector

Here in Andalucia we enjoy many things, one being beautiful weather most of the year. However, as with anything else, this benefit comes with responsibility. From June to October the Consejeria De Medio Ambient issues a burn ban for all of Andalucia. The law, or BOJA 102 as it’s commonly referred to, became a permanent law in May 2009. This law prohibits barbecues, cooking fires, grass or wood burning and driving your motor vehicle in certain parts of forests. The only exceptions to this law are, “Barbecues at hotels, restaurants” and authorized accommodations. An example of authorized accommodations would be concrete barbecue facilities that are constructed at campsites throughout Spain. Failure to obey this law will result in a fine. When you do get a chance to enjoy a favorite pasttime of Americans and Spanish alike, here are some helpful tips to keep you and your family safe: Safety tips Grills should only be used outdoors in authorized areas. Keep children and pets away from the grill. Keep your grill clean. Never leave your grill unattended. Charcoal grills If you use a starter fluid, never add fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire. Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.

LOCAL NEWS

When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container. Propane grills If you use propane or butano grills, check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles. If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off the gas tank and grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop and you’ve already tried tightening the fittings, you need to replace the hose. If at any time you smell gas while cooking, immediately shut off the gas and get away from the grill until it cools.

Proper grilling will keep you safe this summer

It may seem like an odd question, but a few years back, a naval shipyard adopted a lunchtime lights out policy in the production shops. Naval shipyards were constructed more than 100 years ago, and many of the shops are in tall brick buildings with a lot of window area. The lights out policy was intended more to increase energy awareness in the production shops rather than save energy during lunchtime. But the energy savings surprised a lot of people. Some of the shops found that on nice days, they didn’t need to turn the lights back on in the afternoon. Another characteristic of shipyard production shops is that they typically aren’t air-conditioned. Leaving off heat-generating lights on hot afternoons can also improve comfort. That makes two good reasons to try shutting off the lights in the afternoon when you have a source of daylight! A few task lights here and there might be all you need to work safely, productively and energy efficiently. In other types of buildings it might make more sense to close blinds to keep out the heat, especially on the south and west side of the building. If you have any energy saving suggestions or just need some energy saving tips, contact the base energy manager at 727-2603 or you can call the Energy Hotline 727-1797.

Playground Touring: Summer With the Kids

By Jeanine C olburn, PT, PCS C ontributing Writer

When my kids were small, one of our favorite family activities was what we called “Playground Touring.” Sometimes we searched for new playgrounds and other times we just happened upon new ones, and of course, there were always the old favorites. The idea of playground touring is a new way of learning about your community or even communities you pass through or visit. It lets children get needed exercise and lets the adults take in the surroundings like the locals would. Some communities see their parks and playgrounds as the best feature of their town. A report published April 2 by the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine (a JAMA network publication) revealed that nearly half of preschoolaged children in the U.S. are not being taken outside to play daily by either of their parents. I am amazed at these numbers and concerned about the development and health of children who do not get regular outdoor activity. There are certainly ways to make outdoor activity fun for the entire family. In the hot summer you can try a picnic breakfast at a nearby playground. Once my children reached a certain age, I could bring my coffee and a good book and let them go. Then of course, you must scope out the best playgrounds from which to watch the sunset. Best of all, include popular playgrounds as a destination during your travels and vacations. Children love playgrounds, especially the ones they’ve never seen before. Each playground has a new set of challenges and adventures as well as learning experiences for your child. As a pediatric physical therapist, I am always interested in finding ways to keep children active and give them opportunities to get stronger and more coordinated. The playground is a ready-made solution. Even the old-style playgrounds offer new experiences for our children. Here is a physical therapist’s view of playgrounds: Climbing of any sort is great for overall body strength and coordination. I love climbing for body awareness, motor planning, grip and arm strength and back and hip strength. Children love to climb, and playgrounds provide safe and varied opportunities for reaching the top. Crawling through tunnels, over, under and between anything gives the child an opportunity to learn how their body relates to objects around him/ her as well as how objects relate to each other. Crawling at any age develops shoulder, hip and abdominal and neck strength. Swinging develops grip strength, rhythm, timing, coordination, shoulder and abdominal strength

for the older child. Even babies can benefit from swinging. Swinging in a bucket swing can provide trunk and neck strengthening as well as visual and spatial awareness for very young children. There is a little risk taking involved with sliding. The inexperienced slider will lie down or grip the edges of the slide to cushion impending doom. Repetition will help the child gain confidence, selfesteem and a willingness to try more and varied types of slides. The experienced slider can sit up while leaning forward all the way down at full speed, land on his feet, stand up and do it again. Sliding can help develop coordination, timing and trunk strength. Speaking of risk taking, sometimes your child will seem to have an almost irrational fear of certain types of playground equipment. This is when you will want to take them to an empty playground with a smaller version of the activity they fear. Do it with them or take turns. Take a toy with you so the toy (even a toy car) can play on the playground as well. Overcoming fears will help a child gain self-esteem and confidence. I love suspended bridges for challenging a child’s balance. This is not an activity for the new walker, but older children can feel daring and try multiple activities, such as running across, or standing still while others run. Hanging from monkey bars or horizontal ladders is an amazing strengthening activity. It takes great grip and shoulder strength just to hang. Then it takes even more strength, coordination and risk taking to swing or move from bar to bar. Of course, don’t forget the challenge of dropping to land on your feet. Clearly, some playgrounds are more suited to older children and some more suited to younger children. It is up to the parent to determine what is right for your child with safety as well as boredom in mind. Playgrounds are great for social interaction, turn taking and pretend play. If there is no one else at the playground, use this time to let your child show off or draw you into their world. Think of the playground not only as a place to send your children when there is nothing else to do, but as a destination to include in your child’s life. In your travels, have your child help you find the playgrounds and ask the locals where to go. Even a half-hour break at a nearby playground will change the experience for everyone. Many countries in Europe have adopted the ‘Adventure Playground’ concept in addition to traditional playgrounds. These playgrounds are designed to provide older children with a sense of being on

an adventure, with more varied options. Some of these playgrounds are designed to look like junkyards or grandpa’s neglected backyard. There are also more traditional, as well as some artsy style playgrounds. I did a little online research and found some of the “best” playgrounds in Europe: A large playground next to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. A wonderful playground in the Luxembourg Gardens in the center of Paris as well as an interesting playground in the Bois du Bologne, Paris. The fully landscaped Parc de la Villette at the outer edge of the 19th arrondissement of Paris, features a dragon with a tongue that doubles as a slide. Try the Princess Diana Memorial Playground near Kensington Gardens in London, with a Peter Pan theme. Check out The Boat Park in Gex, Switzerland, The Airplane Park on the border of France and Switzerland in Ferney, The Castle Park and the The Sandpit Park in Saint Genis Pouilly, Switzerland. The Brumleby Playground in Copenhagen looks like great fun. The Buga ‘05 Playground in Munich, and in Berlin try the Jungle Playground (Dschungel Spielplatz) in Bakepark and you must see the Dinosaur Park in Kaiserslautern, otherwise know as the Neumuhle Park with several playgrounds throughout. I also did a little random survey and asked for favorite local playgrounds off base: Cadiz - The northwest edge of the Peninsula near the end of the wide sidewalk - it is a bit of a walk from the church and the shops, but fun for the kids with benches nearby for parents and a pretty view. I believe the name of the park is Jardines Carlos III. El Puerto de Santa Maria - There is some unique playground equipment in a park on the other side of the soccer field which is across the main road from the Osborne Bodega. Rota - There is a sweet little shady park and playground next to the feria grounds off of Calle Principe de Espana. There is also a larger park called Parque Laguna del Moral with walking paths and three playgrounds. You can find directions to these parks on Facebook at Rota EDIS. If you know of a great playground near Rota or other European destinations, share it with us on Facebook by searching “Rota EDIS.” The Educational and Developmental Intervention Services Facebook page also has links to great resources to help your children develop and thrive.

NMCRS is Looking for Volunteers Rota Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) is in need of volunteers to serve our military personnel and their families.

Rested Rota Bounces Back to Take Title By Steven Beardsley Stars and Stripes

Rota’s first game against Alconbury in the DODDS European Division III softball tournament saw the sleep-deprived and travel-weary team fall to a lineup of hot hitters. The second meeting Saturday brought a different story. Strong pitching and a stout infield defense guided Rota to 7 - 3 victory and a title against the Dragons. Junior Natalia Rivera stymied Alconbury’s lineup, allowing five hits over the course of the game. She also pitched in Rota’s first game against Alconbury on Thursday after the team arrived late at Ramstein due to bus problems in Spain. “We didn’t really have much sleep,” she said. “So I think that affected our game and mood.” This time, a more confident team arrived, she said, with the tourney-perfect Dragons in their sight. “We were all really pumped,” Rivera said. “We knew they were undefeated, but we knew we had the talent and skill Rota's Natalie Rivera led the Rota Admirals to a DODDS-Europe Division III softball to beat them.” championship with a 7 - 3 victory Saturday over Alconbury at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

and took advantage of Alconbury defensive mistakes, particularly passed balls. Rivera helped her own cause, putting the team on the board early with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the first. The team blew the game open with a four-run third. Alconbury chipped away late, plating runs in the fourth and sixth by exploiting Rota mistakes. Senior Ashley Steele looked solid for the Dragons on the mound. Alconbury coach Duke Eidt cited his team’s lack of luck at the plate for the loss. “We knew we had to get runs,” he said. “That’s what we’ve done all season. That’s what we didn’t do here, and it got us.” With the win, Rota reverses its fortunes from last year’s European high school championships, where it finished 0-4, coach Jim Flynn noted. “We kind of rose from the ashes, so to speak,” he said. Bamberg won the Division III thirdplace game, defeating Incirlik, 17 - 13. To contact Steven Beardsley, email him at beardsleys@estripes.osd.mil. Used with permission from Stars and Stripes.

Panetta Describes U.S. Shift in Asia-Pacific By Jim Garamone

American Forces Press Service

SINGAPORE – The United States is a Pacific power and will remain engaged in the region, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said during a speech delivered at the 11th Annual Shangri-La Dialogue. Panetta explained what America’s enduring shift toward the Asia-Pacific means to the region. The speech took place June 2. The shift has long been forecast. After the fall of the Soviet Union, there were those in the U.S. government who urged a re-focusing of U.S. strategy toward the Pacific. China and India are two of the fastest-growing economies on Earth and the nations of Southeast Asia also grew behind the shield of U.S. presence in the region. The United States also has deep, lasting alliances with nations in the region including Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. This progress and shift, however, were interrupted by the attacks of 9-11 and American attention shifted to combating the terrorist menace. But now the war in Iraq is over and U.S. troop levels are drawing down in Afghanistan. Last year, President Barack Obama approved a strategy shifting toward Asia. The United States has thousands of miles of Pacific coastline and is an integral part of the region. “We take on this role not as a distant power, but as part of the Pacific family of nations," Panetta said at the conference. “Our goal is to work closely with all the nations of this region to confront common chal-

lenges and promote peace, prosperity and security.” Defense policy in the region calls for the U.S. military to expand military-to-military relationships well beyond the traditional treaty allies. China is, of course, the major player in the region. China has grown to the second-largest economy in the world and is investing in modernizing its military. Panetta wants good relations with China and will travel there later this year to expand those contacts. The secretary stressed that the U.S. shift toward the region in no way is aimed at China. “Our effort to renew and intensify our involvement in Asia is fully compatible with the development and growth of China,” Panetta said. “Indeed, increased U.S. involvement in this region will benefit China as it advances our shared security and prosperity.” The United States is working with many nations in the region to promote regional security. There are threats in the area. Terrorism, piracy, narcotrafficking, human trafficking are just a few of the problems. There are disputes over territory and the United States would like to see all these problems addressed peacefully by all nations. Panetta praised the Association of Southeast Asian Nations for its “rules-based” regional security architecture. The secretary also said he looks forward to working with defense ministers from around the region. Discussions and dialogue can help calm the waters in the South China Sea, where several countries in the region have claims in the area. “The U.S. position

is clear and consistent. We call for restraint and diplomatic resolution; we oppose provocation, coercion or the use of force,” Panetta said. The United States does not take sides on the disputes, the secretary said, and America has made this position clear to all in the region. The U.S. military will shift its stance as the global situation shifts, the secretary said. Marine ground and aviation units have begun rotational deployments to Australia. The United States and the Philippines are looking at a similar arrangement. American littoral combat ships will be berthing in Singapore and the number of Navy assets deployed will shift, too. “By 2020, the Navy will reposture its forces from today’s roughly 50/50 split between the Atlantic and Pacific to about a 60/40 split between those oceans -- including six aircraft carriers, a majority of our cruisers, destroyers, littoral combat ships and submarines,” Panetta said. The United States will also shift resources to combat new threats of cyberwar and anti-access technologies. The shift will continue, Panetta said, as leaders from both parties recognize the importance of the region. “The United States has long been deeply involved in the Asia-Pacific,” Panetta said. “Through times of war and peace, under Democratic and Republican leaders, through rancor and comity in Washington, through surplus and debt. We were here then, we are here now and we will be here for the future.”

Practice Good Habits at Home for Your Family “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Perhaps you’ve heard this well-known proverb, but if not, you’ve probably seen it lived out in your own life or the lives of those around you. While there are exceptions to the rule, experience overwhelmingly supports the point of the maxim. Here is a list that my wife and I received about a decade ago (it is posted Chaplain Robert Johnson on the cork board in our kitchen) of some things that you can do to help your child develop properly:

CHAPLINES

- Maintain a strong, loving marriage. - Model appropriate behavior. - Do not discipline while angry. - Be consistent with discipline. - Avoid double standards. - Avoid being legalistic. - Admit you’re wrong and ask for forgiveness when needed. - Listen to your child – take his/her side of the story seriously. - Don’t compare your child to other children. - Make time to “just talk” with your kids. - Praise and encourage your child. - Keep your promises. - Discipline in private, not in public. - Don’t abuse your child.

All are invited to worship.

- Avoid mocking or name calling. - Set realistic expectations. - Avoid favoritism. - Avoid having a child-centered home. - Balance your child’s freedom based on his/her age and maturity level: not too much, not too little. - Live according to your faith in God. This is a tough list to follow - I know from experience! However, our kids are worth the time and effort. Put these tips into practice in your daily routine and see your kids thrive! If you would like to speak to me or another chaplain regarding this discussion or any other issue, please call the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

ASIST The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training is being offered by the Chapel, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., June 25-26. This workshop is the most widely used suicide intervention training in the world. Participation in the full two days is required. Civilian attire only please. Call 727-2161 to sign up.

Call 727-2161 for more information on Chapel events.

Corpus Christi Celebration By Manuel Alba

Community Relations Specialist

After Easter, Corpus Christi is the most important catholic celebration. Corpus Christi is the Catholic holiday in honor of the presence of the body of Christ in the holy wafer. It is celebrated throughout Spain and is held in May or June depending on when Easter occurs. A solemn and magnificent procession bears the consecrated host through the streets. Although Corpus Christi is celebrated everywhere in Andalucia, it is most famous in Sevilla and especially in Granada where this religious celebration is fused with the annual feria. The celebration in Toledo is also considered of National tourist Interest. The history of Corpus Christi in Granada is particularly interesting, because the Catholic kings used it as a tool to Christianize a population that had been under Muslim rule for some eight centuries. In the beginning, the people of Granada just celebrated the festival on the actual day of Corpus Christi. In the 17th century, someone had the bright idea of starting on the eve of the big day. From there it was only a matter of time before the religious event was merged with the annual fair in the biggest celebrations of the year. While the Granada Corpus Christi celebration is the most spectacular, this religious holiday is celebrated in most towns in Andalucia. Of particular interest are Zahara de la Sierra, Bornos, Arcos de la Frontera, El Gastor, Jerez de la Frontera, Rota, Cadiz, El Puerto de Santa Maria, June 10, among many others which are all in the province of Cadiz. Also a special mention to the Corpus Christi celebration in Sevilla, June 7 (local holiday). Today it is still a typical tradition to carpet the streets of towns and villages with greenery for the solemn processions. This adds a special ambiance to the processions. The Corpus Christi parades also tend to attract all the local authorities, and in some cases, military personnel as well. Corpus Christi celebration is part of the culture and tradition of Andalucia and is one you should not miss.

Guest speaker Cmdr. Ivan Stamegna, Naval Station Rota supply officer, spoke of the impact Lindo's leadership had upon himself and the rest of the crew in the Supply Department. In his speech, Lindo, humbly thanked his family and all the Sailors that he has served with for their support. LSC Lindo's assignments include: Recruit Training Command, Orlando, Fla. FL/SK A-school, Orlando, Fla.

Unsubmitted Voucher FAQs:

Defense Travel System (DTS) Initial Testing Findings

How do I create a voucher? In DTS, select Voucher, Create new voucher from existing authorization. Select the approved authorization for the trip you just completed and follow the steps to ensure your information is correct. Adjust costs as necessary and ensure you upload your receipts under substantiating documentation. If you have any questions, please contact your local DTS LDTA or the DTS Help Desk.

The CNIC FIP Team recently completed Phase I testing for the Transportation of People (DTS) business segment. A few areas were identified which needed additional clarification prior to Phase II testing. Three areas we will be looking at include submission of travel vouchers, how to provide proper/correct receipts, and DTS Approvers also maintaining “edit” privileges.

When am I required to provide receipts for travel? Per the DoD FMR Volume 9, Chapter 5 and the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) Chapter 1, Part B: DTS, each traveler is required to provide receipt(s) for: (1) lodging and (2) individual official travel expenses of $75 or more.

How long do I have to complete my voucher? Generally, all travelers have 5 business days once travel is complete to submit their voucher. 29 days after travel, a report is sent to all Commands listing delinquent travelers who have still not submitted their vouchers.

Which receipts do I need to provide?  Lodging/hotel (regardless of cost)  Travel: including airfare, rental car, train, taxi, bus, boat, etc. (regardless of cost)  Any non-per diem or mileage expenses over $75

I was already paid an advance, why do I need to submit a voucher? Even if you received an advance, your travel report will still need to be closed out and any supporting documentation (i.e. receipts) will need to be uploaded to the system. Until the voucher is completed, your trip will still remain open.

For which expenses do I not provide receipts? Expenses covered by Per-diem (i.e. food/sustenance) Authorized miscellaneous expenses under $75 (i.e. laundry, parking fees) Fuel (if getting reimbursed by mileage)

Segregation of duties: The most significant required change to DTS to enable audit readiness across the Navy is the need to enforce separation of duties. Individuals who can edit DTS transactions CANNOT also approve DTS transactions. Some Approvers within DTS also have access to edit organizations, routing lists, groups, people and lines of accounting (permission levels 5 or 6). This does not support Separation of Duty and creates an opportunity for fraud. As part of the Corrective Action Plan from DTMO and FMO, the N822 DTS team is reviewing all Approvers who also have the ability to edit. Each individual and/or organization will need to determine who will have each role, but both roles will not be allowed. N822 has begun making this correction and removing some users with dual privileges. Some users have lost their permission levels and have raised concerns. All users who need to have their rights restored can contact the DTS Help Desk and specify which rights they want, either "Edit" or "Approve.” There are no cases where a user can possess both rights. Other users with level 5 or 6 permissions CANNOT give those permissions to others who are already Approvers. On the other side, level 5/6 permissions CANNOT be given to Approvers with Level 25 authority. If it has been discovered that users with level 5 have restored permission levels to those who have been removed, the MAJCOM LDTA will remove permission level 5 from the command, and those duties will be assumed at the Help Desk. Guidance with the DTA Manual on the roles and permissions can be found at: http:// www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/Training/DTA_3.pdf

DTS HELP DESK PHONE NUMBER: 1-800-378-5406

Canceled Travel If your trip was cancelled or you did not complete your travel, you will need to contact the DTS Help Desk to cancel the authorization in DTS. There are many different steps which must be completed to fully cancel an authorization in the system. Cancellation steps will differ for each of the following scenarios:    

Authorization was created and no expenses were incurred Authorization was signed or approved and no expenses were incurred Authorization was signed and expenses were incurred Authorization was approved and expenses were incurred or an advance was received.

The DTS help desk will assist you, walking you through each of the steps to completely cancel your travel based upon your specific scenario.

BATTLE OF MIDWAY

June 7, 2012

70 Years - Remembering the Battle of Midway

By Adm. Jonathan Greenert Chief of Naval Operations

As we mark the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway, we should never forget the significance of this conflict to our legacy. In the early days of June 1942 and only six months after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, our Navy shaped a defining moment in history and forged a proud chapter in our Naval Heritage. With countless self-sacrificing efforts, skill and the fighting spirit of our Sailors, our U.S. Navy won the Battle of Midway

(June 4-6) despite being at a numerical disadvantage to a formidable opponent. This stunning and decisive victory enabled the start of a U.S. Navy offensive in the Solomon Islands that set the United States and its allies on the road to a victory in the Pacific. This historic victory at Midway can be attributed to traits that continue in our Navy today: bold, confident, and proficient Sailors willing to go into harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way with well-built, re-

silient ships and aircraft. Our Sailors and Marines demonstrate this same warfighting ethos today as they face unique and demanding challenges, on land and at sea, operating forward, fully ready around the globe. This legacy is built on the foundation of veterans, like those at Midway, who have blazed the trail before us. Let us never forget these brave veterans and their legacy. They shaped world events for many years, and we will

continue to do so, for it is in our DNA. As Navy professionals, it is up to us to preserve and celebrate our rich history, knowing that understanding our past will empower us to overcome future challenges. By committing our time and efforts to commemorative events such as these, we acknowledge and honor our obligation to preserve our inheritance of a rich naval history and heritage.

Spain Looks to Make History in Euro Cup Spain will try to make the case as the greatest international soccer team the world has known as they look to win three major international soccer tournaments in a row. Spain won the World Cup two years ago, and before that they took the European Championships, a title they will look to defend this month as take part in the 16-team tournament that is held every four years. After World Cup, which features the 32 best teams from Yuval Fleming the world, Euro Cup is the most Sports Writer prestigious soccer competition in the world. Some make the argument that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even harder to win the European Championship than it is to win the World Cup, since there are no easy outs as there sometimes are in World Cup. Europe proved its dominance over world soccer two years ago when the three top teams in the World Cup all hailed from Europe. The qualification process for the Euro Cup began almost two years ago with 53 countries all looking to qualify for the tournament which for the first time ever will be played in Eastern Europe. Fourteen teams eventually qualified and will be joined in the tournament which starts this Friday in Warsaw by the two host nations Ukraine and Poland. Each team has been placed in one of four groups of four and will play one game against each of the other teams in their group. The two teams with the best record at the conclusion of group play will advance to the eight-team knockout stage.

Offsides

While Spain looks to continue their dominance over world soccer, the Netherlands and Germany seek to avenge losses to the Furia Roja (red fury) in the past World Cup. Both teams enter the tournament on opposite trajectories. The Netherlands are an aging team that is now two years older and one that will be severely tested in this demanding tournament. Germany, on the other hand, was a young team two

years ago in South Africa, and many believe they are now experienced enough to win their countrie's first major competition since 1996. England and Italy are always a threat to win any competition, but each team enters the tournament amid turmoil and scandal. Italian soccer was rocked recently by allegations of match fixing in their domestic league. In England, long time captain John Terry saw that title removed because of allegations that he racially abused an opponent. That episode led to the resignation of then-manager Fabio Capello who did not support that decision by the English Football Association. England, a team that always faces immense pressure from fans and media alike, now enter Euro Cup with a crisis of leadership. A major question for Spain is how they will cope with success. With little left to prove, will the Spanish juggernaut remain focused and maintain the drive and motivation that has led them to key victories the past four years? Coach Vicente del Bosque may try to fend of complacency by mixing a midfield with experienced players like Xavi and Iniesta with younger players such as Santi Cazorla and Juan Mata. Injuries to forward David Villa and central defender Carles Puyol could hurt the team in those parts of the field, though. Both players started every match for Spain in the World Cup and were instrumental to the team's success, their absence will be a major obstacle to overcome.
