Community members take part in an early morning Silent Walk, April 4, arranged by U.S. Naval Hospital Naples around the Support Site to increase awareness and prevention of sexual assault during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The silence during the walk was used to represent the silence many victims suffer. The walk, one of several events planned for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, aimed to increase awareness and prevention of sexual assault. Other events include free self-defense classes April 17 and 24 at noon at the Capo Fit Zone, as well as victim advocate training, a 5k run, and a candlelight vigil at dusk outside the Support Site Chapel April 30. Personnel interested in certain events or more information can contact the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program at sapr_nsanaples@eu.navy.mil or DSN 314-629-6534. (Photo by MC2 Luke B.

Now - April 23: Annual Utility/Recurring Maintenance Survey Opens
By Cmdr. Jay Driskell NSA Naples Executive Officer With the warmer weather of spring, many families in the area are getting out and enjoying the great outdoors. This is a good thing; we regularly encourage Naples personnel to take advantage of all the wonderful benefits of living in Southern Europe. However, there is a dangerous trend developing on the Support Site, as more people are out playing in the nicer weather, which is putting children and drivers at risk. We have recently received complaints of children operating toy battery-powered vehicles on roadways and in parking lots of housing units. This is a tragedy waiting to happen, plain and simple. It is also against Navy policy, and our own installation policy, which is currently being evaluated to reinforce our safety measures. Toy battery-powered vehicles are to be used only on the sidewalks and in grassy areas. These toys shall not be used in roadways, parking lots or in public spaces such as the Village Forum. We are discussing the possibility of identifying an area where kids can ride their powered toy vehicles, but in the meantime, sidewalks and grassy areas are the only authorized locations to operate these toys. Additionally, I strongly urge all parents to supervise children closely at all times who are operating these toys, and understand the danger posed by their low profiles when vehicles are present. Proper personal protective equipment, to include helmets, shall be worn while operating all wheeled toys, bicycles, skates, skateboards, scooters, etc. This is especially important for those faster, battery-powered toy mini-scooters and mini-motorcycles, which shall not be operated on the roads on the Support Site. In keeping with my recent theme of community pride, reports of minor vandalism on the Support Site continue to pop up occasionally, including incidents directed at personal property, such as vehicles and bicycles. While we have an excellent security force, their efforts are centered on our entry points and the fence line, keeping us safe from those who would do us harm. They are not a base police force. We need to take ownership of these issues and have those hard conversations with our kids if necessary. If you see suspicious activity, please do call it in to base security. However, change on this front will only take place when we work together as a community, step up to the plate and make corrections or reports on the spot when we see them. I need the community’s help to enforce the rules in order to keep our children and families safe and to protect our property. Lastly, another area of concern is the number of stray animals on our facilities, particularly those that may be abandoned by families as we head into the busy PCS season. Registration of all pets on Support Site, to include a microchip, is mandatory. As is clearly stated in the NSA Pet Policy instruction, it is a violation to abandon a pet. DoD personnel who knowingly abandon their pets will be liable for animal abuse and neglect and are subject to disciplinary action. UCMJ charges and/or administrative action will ensue to include forwarding of charges to the gaining command or new employers if the pet owner has left the Naples area. Another important note to mention is that it is also against the Pet Policy to feed stray animals as this does not help, but rather adds to the problem. This is a serious issue, as strays place a burden and pose a significant health/safety issue for our local community. I want to thank everyone on our installation for doing the right things on a daily basis and encourage you all to continue being good stewards of our wonderful Naples community. Enjoy the spectacular weather, get outside and have a beautiful weekend!
The annual Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) Utility and Recurring Maintenance Survey for Italy is being conducted until April 23. Service members residing in private housing off base are eligible to take the online survey and will be asked to report average monthly costs for utilities and routine maintenance expenses incurred over the last 12 months. Find the survey at https://www.defensetravel. dod.mil/site/oha-util-midmar.cfm. Data provided will directly impact the Utility/Recurring Maintenance allowance paid to service members who regularly receive OHA in Italy.
NMCRS 2014 Fund Drive Extended The Navy Marine Corps Relief Society has extended the 2014 Fund Drive through the 30th of April.

We would like to offer our encouragement and assistance during the remaining weeks. Our goal remains 100 percent command contact, as well as education and donation.

Free Entrance to Museums During Italy’s Culture Week Tourists and Italians can visit free of charge all state museums, monuments - including the Colosseum in Rome and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence - archives and libraries during Italy’s week of culture, April 1625. This is the 12th edition of the “Settimana della Cultura” where there will be more than 3000 exhibitions, concerts, cultural workshops and guided tours over the 10 day period. Many cultural sites are planning extended opening hours as well.
Mostra d’Oltremare Opens Gates The Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples will open its gate permanently to citizens on May 10 at 1 euro per ticket. Neapolitan citizens, after years will enjoy the exhibition space and its structures for cultural and musical activities. The gates will be open every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and later on weekends. In 2015, there will be a ticket which will include entrance to the Mostra and the Naples Zoo. However, this summer there will be water shows and lights at the Esedra fountain and the Arena Flegrea will host concerts and performances with international guests.
Increased Security for Tourists in Florence City streets in Florence will be patrolled by 700 security police officers as the tourist season begins. The patrolling is part of efforts to tackle problems such as vandalism and drunkenness. The project is named “1,000 eyes on the city” will involve 40 vehicles and 26 patrol squads. Private security officers will roam the city’s streets and call on police for intervention. The deal was signed by the vice mayor with heads of private security firms. The security officers will be vigilant at night when vandalism occcurs and drunken minors misbehave. Last year, a tourist broke a finger off a 600-year-old statue and in recent months tourists have been caught vandalizing the famous bridge Ponte Vecchio.
Life Imitates Art at Museo Diocesano This weekend, the Museo Diocesano in Naples will host an extraordinary art performance of “Tableaux Vivants“ where seven actors enact 21 great masterpieces of Caravaggio. Spectators will see the performance of actors who represent canvases painted by the great artist with the help of everyday objects and draped fabric. The performance is backed by the music of Sibelius, Bach, Mozart and Vivaldi. The event is scheduled Saturday, April 12 at 6:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This event will be repeated Sunday, May 11 and June 22. Tickets for the museum and the show cost € 8. Tickets are free for children up to 6 years old, and € 4 from 7 to 18 years old.
€ 20 Painting worth much more
A former Italian worker from Turin bought two paintings for € 20 at an auction of items lost on the Italian train held by Italy’s state railway corporation in 1975. The two paintings hung on the wall of his kitchen for nearly 40 years, until his son bought a biography of Bonnard and found a picture of the garden shown in one of the paintings. The man didn’t know he had also a Gauguin painting, and by comparing a dedication on the Gauguin painting with examples of the artist’s handwriting, they realized that they had a masterpiece by one of the world’s best known artists on their hands. The Gauguin painting could be worth as much as €30 million while the Bonnard painting is estimated to be worth around €600,000. The paintings are now in the hands of a special unit of the Carabinieri paramilitary police which deals with stolen art. In fact, the paintings were stolen in London in 1970. When thieves were trying to bring them into Italy, they panicked and abandoned them on a train from France to Turin. The man hopes the authorities will give the paintings back to him immediately since he bought them in good faith and he gave them to authorities for authentication.

Kids’ Talk: NES 2nd Graders Become Living Museum By Isabella Flores
By Mae Silva Do you like history? Well history came to life at NES in Naples, Italy on March 28. All of 2nd graders made history! They made it by telling speeches and dressing in costumes of famous people, it is called a Living Museum. There were many famous people such as George Washington, Amelia Earhart, and Jane Gooddall. I was Pocahontas! The things that we did to make our poster was: 1st we made a picture of our famous people in art class, 2nd we gather all our research papers and one timeline, 3rd we wrote the name of our character and the teacher said to be creative, and finally we made our “push buttons” so people can hear our speech. The End
By Thomas Edenfield Do you want to know some facts about famous people? On Wednesday and Friday of March 2014, in Naples Elementary School we did a Living Museum. It’s when the 2nd graders dressed up as famous people and told information. The kids dressed up and told information about the person they dressed up as, like Thomas Jefferson or Neil Armstrong. First, the people who visited the museum pressed the button. Next, you come to life. Then you tell your speech. Finally, you ask if they have any questions. If you do, you answer them, if not, you don’t. The Living Museum is a place where you give information to reporters so they don’t need to read books. There were many people there. Kids and parents were there.
By Isabella Flores The Living Museum happened because all the second graders wanted to learn how people made a difference in the world. We learned how to use resources to gather information. We also learned how to use fun websites like Pixie and Kidspiration to create fun projects. The main focus was to learn how people made differences in the world. The Living Museum was a project where you made timelines, portraits, pixies, and all sorts of fun learning things about our famous person. Second graders became experts on a biography person. The Living Museum was a place where you can learn fun interesting facts about dif-
ferent biography people and much more things! All the second graders dressed up. They stayed still like a statue until someone pressed their button. If you are questioning what I mean, picture an index card with a press me sign. I Loved the Living Museum! Some of you may have gone to the Living Museum and pushed kids buttons. I was Anne Frank, and I, Anne Frank, believe that in spite of everything, people are truly good at heart! That was the Living Museum. If you didn't go this year, Do Not Miss next year!
By Mekhi Ingram The Living Museum is a place with famous people near a poster and waits for someone to press your button. When they do they come alive and say a speech about themselves. 2nd graders made posters with a portrait, a pixie drawing, a timeline, and a bio poem. We also made a button so the people could press it to hear their speech. Now that you read this article you know about the Living Museum.
By Cosmo Salicone Do you want to know something? All the second graders did something called a Living Museum! Would you like to know what it's about? First, you should know that it happened on March 26th and 28th of 2014. Next, you should know that is happened at Naples Elementary School also called the Home of the Dolphins. It was hard work! First we had to research about famous people who made a difference in the world. For example, I became an expert on Gandhi. All the second grade students had to become an expert on a famous person, but we were just acting like them. We stood still as statues until someone pressed our buttons! Then we became alive! Last, you should know why we did this. It happened because it helped us and other people to learn about famous, historical people who made a difference in the world. Plus, we entertained everyone. I've learned that if all these people didn't ever live, our world would not be such a good place after all. I have also learned that all the historical people that lived all had one thing in common. They all changed the world and made it a better place. What would you do to make the world a better place?
By Jared Cole Have you ever been to a museum with people that have made a difference in the world? On March 26 and 28, 2014 at Naples Elementary School the 2nd graders had a Living Museum to tell about famous people and their contributions. First we had to do a lot of research and a lot of reading. Next we had to make our posters and get costumes ready and make our speeches. Then we had to put our posters in places. Finally, we said our speeches to lots of people. Hope you liked the museum.

Fleet Master Chief of U.S. Naval Forces Europe JoAnn Ortloff speaks about the history of women serving in the military during the Naples Area Women's Symposium at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples. The Woman's Symposium is an annual event held at NSA Naples, which gives Sailors the opportunity to discuss topics affecting female Sailors in the Navy. (Photo by MC2 John Herman)
WOMEN'S SYMPOSIUM
Continued from Page 1
They discussed challenges and topics such as raising a family while serving, finding their voice against adversity, inspirational female leaders and encouraging retention of women in the military. “This event has gone wonderfully,” said Ortloff. “The most important part of today is the panel. Having this diverse group here that can sit before the audience and tell them their challenges and successes is vital, so that audience members can see that they’re not alone.” Ortloff said she hoped the women present at the event went away empowered and with the information they require to excel in today’s Navy. For Yeoman 3rd class Taisha Littles it was a very memorable experience. “It opened my eyes and my heart to be a part of this event,” said Littles. “I learned a lot, not only about past women leaders, but also what they had to sacrifice which gave me a greater sense of appreciation for what I have.”
Love and Logic Parenting From Fleet and Family Support Center
The Fleet and Family Support Center offers a parenting program designed to provide parents with practical skills that can be used with kids of all ages. It is an approach to raising children that provides loving support from parents while at the same time expecting kids to be respectful and responsible. This philosophy was founded by educator Jim Fay and Dr. Foster Cline. It’s based upon their combined experience of 75 years working with and raising their own kids. A lot of parents today are wondering what to do with their children and are frustrated because old techniques just don’t seem to get the job done. Parents want to enjoy their children, have fun with them and enjoy a less stressful family life. Even if their children are trouble-free now, they fear what the coming teenage years will bring. Many parents want their kids to be well prepared for life. They know this means the kids will make mistakes and must be held accountable for those mistakes, but they are not certain about the best way to hold their kids accountable. The Love and Logic parenting course teaches parents how to lock in their empathy, love and
understanding prior to telling kids what the consequences of their action will be. The Becoming a Love and Logic Parent course teaches parents how to hold their kids accountable in this special way. This method causes the child to see their parent as the “good guy” and their poor decision as the “bad guy.” When done on a regular basis, the child develops an internal voice that says, “I wonder how much pain I’m going to cause for myself with my next decision?” Kids who develop this internal voice also become more capable of standing up to peer pressure. What more could a parent want? Isn’t that a great gift to give to your child? Parent-child relationships are enhanced, family life becomes less strained, and we have time to enjoy our kids instead of feeling used by them or transformed from parent to policeman. The parenting class has seven modules, with each session lasting approximately two hours. At present the parenting classes are offered during the day and the evening. Love and Logic Parenting classes cover all ages, including an early childhood focus (birth to six years). For more information and to register for the next set of Love and Logic classes, contact the Fleet and Family Support Center at DSN: 6296372 or 081-811-6372.

Energy Conservation 10 Tips for Saving Energy in the Summer Time From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team • Raise your thermostat to 78 F if you are away from home for more than eight hours. Raise the thermostat setting and you can expect to see up to a 3 percent savings on cooling costs for each degree of setback. This causes fewer cycle changes in your cooling systems compressor since the room temperature setting will be easier to maintain. • Keep shades closed when the air conditioner is on. Keeping your home as cool as possible reduces the amount of load on your cooling system. Fewer loads are less power and less power is more money for you. • Check and clean filters. Clogged filters decrease efficiency and causes cooling units to work harder for minimal result due to lack of air flow. • Clear attic vents. Clogged vents like filters can reduce circulation and flow throughout your home. It also increases the amount of time it takes to cool your home to a comfortable temperature. • Install ceiling fans and make sure they are blowing down. This speeds of the cooling process of your home, often times a well circulated home does not need the system to run as hard for as long. • Postpone activities that require hot water and large energy use – such as washing dishes or clothes – to early morning or late evening. This will keep from adding more heat and humidity to the home. • Use cold water to wash dishes and clothes. The less effort your heater has to do the better for you. Some companies have developed soap solutions that perform well in cold water. • Avoid using the stove if possible. It’s the summer time, so go outside and grill instead of using the stove. Keeping the heat outside makes it much easier to stay cool inside. • Unplug equipment not in use. Most electronics still have internal clocks or memories which continue to draw power when not in use. Unplugging these items helps contribute to your power saving cause. • Turn off lights. As always turn off lights in rooms not being used at the time or rooms that are otherwise well lit by natural light.

Naples Community Health Awareness From Naval Support Activity Naples Public Affairs

SeCNaV thanks uSS Bulkeley while in rome By MC2 Donald R. White Jr., USS Bulkeley Public Affairs
Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus visited Sailors aboard guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) while the ship was moored at Civitavecchia, Italy, for a scheduled port visit, April 1. Mabus was in Italy to sign an agreement on alternative fuels that will be used by the fleet to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and subsidize the Navy's carbon footprint. "Although I am here on business, it was important to me to get out to Bulkeley and personally thank the crew for all the hard work they have done over the past eight months," said Mabus. "I was a cruiser and destroyer Sailor when I was in the Navy. I like carriers and I like submarines, and I also want the crew to know I like the small surface combatant ships too. I take pride in being able to acknowledge Sailors who don't get told 'thank you' enough." Mabus addressed the crew at an all-hands call, during which, he spoke to the Sailors about the 21st Century Sailor/Marine effort, the importance of what the crew accomplished on deployment and fielded questions. After the all-hands call, Mabus awarded five Sailors with the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal. "Being recognized by the Secretary of the Navy is definitely a morale booster and lets me
know that all of our hard work and sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed," said Culinary Specialist Seaman Neil Sood, one of the Sailors who was awarded the medal. "SECNAV was very personable and I think we were all grateful that he took time out of his schedule to come here and thank us." Mabus concluded his visit with lunch on the enlisted mess decks with junior sailors on board. "It is important to me to interact with the junior Sailors. We expect great work out of every single Sailor, regardless of rate, rank or how junior you are," he said. "Interacting with them gives me pride, confidence and a lot of hope for the future of our Navy. We have the greatest expeditionary fighting force the world has ever known and it is because of the Sailors, and particularly, the Sailors who are coming in that are new." "We were extremely honored to host the Secretary of the Navy," said Cmdr. Matthew Phillips, Bulkeley's commanding officer. "It was a very uplifting visit for the crew which for the last eight months has shown so much dedication to our mission as part of America's away team. Each one of our Sailors has worked hard every day and shown amazing determination and for SECNAV to take time out of his schedule to visit us today, it says a lot about the way our Sailors have performed while forward-deployed."
Bulkeley Holds Reception in Italy By MC2 Donald White Jr., USS Bulkeley Public Affairs
More than 40 military officials and distinguished guests attended a reception hosted by guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) during its scheduled port visit in Civitavecchia, Italy, April 4. "While deployed, we have stood by the motto 'liberty is a mission', which means that
even while in a foreign port, we are still representing the Navy and attempting to leave a positive impact wherever we go," said Cmdr. Matthew Phillips, Bulkeley's commanding officer. "I think tonight we can definitely say that we accomplished that mission." The reception came a few days after Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus met with Chief of the Italian navy Vice
Adm. Giuseppe Di Giorgi in Venice, Italy, to sign a Statement of Cooperation on the research and use of alternative fuels. "It is important to take time out to nurture the sense of camaraderie with our NATO allies as often as possible," said Phillips. "As a warship we are not only tasked with defending our country abroad, but also to be ambassadors to our partners."

The Naples Public Health Evaluation (PHE) was an extensive effort to learn more about the potential environmental health risks present in the Campania region of Italy. The Navy established health protective policies based on the study’s findings to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their families, which includes bottled water advisories and health protective lease clauses. The PHE found the potential health risks for living off-base can be mitigated by following established risk-management actions. The enduring health protection policies are as follows: • Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. personnel living off base. • Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas, based on U.S. Navy and Italian environmental sampling data. In these zones, U.S. Navy personnel are not permitted to sign new rental home leases. • Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE website and the U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board. • Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses for private off-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service from a Navy-approved vendor. – Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permitted wells. Landlords must disconnect all non-permitted wells and provide proof of connection to the city water system or that the well is permitted. – Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holding tanks every six months. • The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designated Italian public health officials. Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy established health protective policies and took immediate action, when necessary, to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their families. The risk management analysis determined that many of the health protective policies established during Phase I and Phase II will continue, as well as new policies implemented to ensure continued health protection. The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets addressing commonly asked questions and a detailed timeline of study components, are available through a link on the Naval Support Activity Naples website: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have a concern about your specific health risk and how the study relates to you, please contact the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN: 629-6299 or commercial: 081-811-6299.

Vouchers offer advanced education for Senior enlisted Sailors By Ed Barker, Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs
The Chief of Naval Personnel announced funding for the FY-14 Advanced Education Voucher (AEV) program April 1, providing advanced education opportunities for top-performing chief, senior chief and master chief petty officers. Announced by Naval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 072/14, AEV provides financial assistance to selected senior enlisted personnel (E7-E9) to complete post-secondary, Navy-relevant degrees through off-duty education. Master Chief Electronics Technician (EXW/FPJ) Richard Simpson, enlisted education program coordinator at the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), noted that this educational program is one of the most significant in the sea services, as the Navy invests in the future of enlisted leadership. "For senior enlisted members interested in or pursuing advanced education, the AEV program is an outstanding resource," said Simpson. "AEV offers the opportunity to get a degree from a university without having to worry about finances or Tuition Assistance (TA) restrictions, as it pays for 100 percent of tuition, books and fees up to a specified limit." The AEV program will fund bachelor's and master's degree completion in designated, Navy rating-relevant areas of study. Examples include: strategic foreign languages, construction management, emergency and disaster management, homeland defense and security, human resources, business administration, leadership and management, engineering, information technology, nurs-
ing, paralegal, business administration, education and training management and electrical /electronic technology. All degrees, including any not listed above, must be approved by the AEV program coordinator at NETC to validate Navy relevance. Chief Machinist's Mate (SS) John Matthews, torpedo quality assurance supervisor for the Naval Submarine Torpedo Facility in Yorktown, Va., recently completed his bachelor's degree in Business Administration with Saint Leo University using the AEV program. "Both my leadership and Sailors are already receiving a return on the Navy's investment by the way I communicate more effectively both up and down the chain of command," said Matthews. "It can be challenging going to work and school at the same time, but the sacrifices pay-off in the long run. I am grateful for the opportunity to achieve this educational milestone and recommend the program highly." Eligible applicants include E7s with no more than 17 years of time in service (TIS), E8s with no more than 19 years TIS and E9s with no more than 23 years TIS. Time in service for all pay grades is computed to Oct. 1, 2014. The TIS ceilings are not waiverable. Proven superior performers with continued upward mobility are encouraged to apply. AEV will support bachelor's degree completion in approved, Navy-relevant areas of study through off-duty education, capped at $6,700 per year for a maximum of 36 months from the date of enrollment and covers 100 percent of tuition, books, and related fees. Total program cost per student is limited to $20,000. Qualified candidates must have an associate degree from an
accredited institution or the equivalent amount of college credit applicable to the degree being sought. The AEV master's degree program covers 100 percent of tuition, books, and related fees up to a maximum of $20,000 per year for up to 24 months of enrollment, with the total program cost per individual capped at $40,000. Qualified candidates must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education. For FY-14, Navy-relevant master's degrees are required. AEV is not authorized for courses used to earn an additional degree for the service member at the same or lower education level. Lower division or prerequisite courses may be authorized if the courses are part of a Sailor's degree program and are listed on their approved education plan. Applicants should be transferring to (or currently on) shore duty with sufficient time ashore to complete their approved degree program. Applicants on sea duty may apply provided they submit an education plan, with commanding officer endorsement, demonstrating the ability to complete the degree program. Senior enlisted members who have already invested in their professional development by pursuing college education and those who are currently enrolled in a qualifying postsecondary degree program using TA or other financial assistance programs are eligible to apply for the AEV program. Reimbursement for any education expenses incurred prior to participation in AEV is not authorized. AEV and TA benefits may not be used at the same time. Upon completion of or withdrawal from education for which any author-
ized expenses were paid, participants shall agree to remain on active duty for a period equal to three times the number of months of education completed or three years, whichever is less. This obligation is discharged concurrently with any other service obligation program participants may have already incurred. The AEV agreement does not obligate the Navy to retain the member on active duty. The Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy will convene the AEV Program selection board in June 2014 and program selectees will be expected to enroll in studies in the fall 2014 term. Deadline for applying for FY-14 programs is May 24, 2014. Applications should be sent to Naval Education and Training Command (N523), 250 Dallas Street, Pensacola, FL, 32508-5220. See NAVADMIN 072/14 for specific requirements and application guidelines. Packages must be endorsed by the applicant's commanding officer and command master chief. For more information on the program, call Master Chief Electronics Technician (EXW/FPJ) Richard Simpson, AEV and enlisted learning and development coordinator (NETC N523) at (850) 452-7268 (DSN 459). The AEV program is a supporting element of the Enlisted Learning and Development Strategy, which includes post-secondary education as an integral part of the career roadmap for each rating career track. Additional information about the AEV program may be viewed on the Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) Web site www.nko.navy.mil.

a Survivor, leader, and american hero remembered By Darryl Orrell, Center for Security Forces Public Affairs
He survived the brutalities of being a Prisoner of War, exercised steadfast leadership as a U.S. Senator, and fostered patriotism among everyone he encountered. Retired admiral and former U.S. Sen. Jeremiah A. Denton Jr. died March 28 in Virginia Beach, Va., he was 89. A 34-year Navy veteran, Denton served on active duty during World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He was also heavily involved with the Cuban Missile Crisis as the commander of the Guantanamo Defense Force. "Our nation has had to say goodbye to one of its greatest heroes," said Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) Commanding Officer, Capt. Raymond Benedict. "His legacy has motivated several generations of Sailors and Marines as they receive vital Code of Conduct training prior to deploying overseas in support of global operations." In 1965, Denton was shot down and captured by North Vietnamese forces and for the next seven years and seven months, he was held as a Prisoner of War (POW). He became the first U.S. military captive to experience four years of solitary confinement. It was during his captivity that Denton gave the American public its first confirmation that American POWs in North Vietnam were being tortured. He did this by blinking his eyes during a television interview that was arranged by his captors in 1966. The intent of his blinking went unsuspected by his captors, but to those trained in Morse code, Denton spelled out the letters T.O.R.T.U.R.E. "His incredible leadership and self-sacrifice inspired and saved countless lives during one of our nation's most horrific captivity situations in Hanoi," said James Meehan, Code of Conduct Training Specialist at CENSECFOR. "The 4th Allied POW Wing motto in Hanoi was 'Return with Honor' and Adm. Denton exemplified this in every way by living up to and exceeding the values expressed in the Code of Conduct." The responsibilities and obligations of the U.S. Armed Forces in situations dealing with captivity or isolation are contained in the U.S. Military Code of Conduct. The moral standards written in the articles guide service members in how to avoid discrediting themselves, the U.S., and return home with honor. Existing since the late 1950s, the Navy's Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training is a 12-day Code of Conduct
course. The training teaches students the skills necessary to survive, evade capture and if captured, resist exploitation and escape. In the fall of 2010, the Center named its newest training facility, one of two Navy sites that provide SERE training, in honor of Denton. Prior to the official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the new facility, Denton took time earlier that day to speak candidly with students about his experience of once being tortured for three days and three nights straight. "I overheard the camp commander, frustrated because I did not break, say to my tormentor 'Break his legs.' I knew my body could no longer take the punishment and literally thought I was going to die. At that moment, I prayed to the man upstairs telling him I could no longer continue to resist on my own - I needed him to intervene. It was in that very moment my pain was simply gone and the guard refused the order to break my legs," shared Denton. In his keynote address during the ribbon cutting ceremony, Denton shared in a bold and unyielding voice, "I stand here today telling you that if it were not for God, I would have washed out" speaking of his time as a POW. "I am proud to be associated with a man of such strong personal conviction with regards to training others in the Code of Conduct and to embody and honor Adm. Denton's dedication and sacrifice," said Meehan. "I am thankful to have met him and honored to see his name on our facility." Another point Denton noted was how people often forget the sacrifices and sufferings endured by the family members of a POW. The endless turmoil of not knowing what happened to their loved ones and that they need support as well. "Today, Adm. Denton no longer suffers from the scars of war and torture, but rather he has been recalled from the battlefront having fought the good fight," said Meehan. "He was recalled and taken home to glory and that of eternal peace - rest in peace Admiral, we have the watch." During his speech back in 2010, Denton made a statement that should inspire all Americans being, "As long as you realize who you are and the great country of which you belong, you can achieve anything." The Center for Security Forces provides specialized training to more than 28,000 students each year. It has 14 training locations across the U.S. and around the world - Where Training Breeds Confidence.

Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended. Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage. All economy leases negotiated through the Housing office have a bottle water clause, which requires the landlord to provide bottled water. Work with landlords to have any water holding tanks disinfected twice a year and ensure your tap water is disconnected from nonpermitted wells and connected only to the city water system.
Service Chiefs' Update Begins 2014 Sea-Air-Space Expo By MC3 Jules Stobaugh, Defense Media Activity
The 49th Annual 2014 Navy League Sea-Air-Space Exposition began at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md. with an official opening ceremony, April 7. The Sea-Air-Space Expo is an annual event that brings together key military decision makers, the U.S. defense industrial base and private-sector U.S. companies for an innovative and educational maritime based event. "This is a landmark event, for maritime, really for our maritime enterprise," said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert. "To do the kind of things around the world that we need to do in and out, we've got to innovate." During the opening ceremony, service chiefs from the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard each spoke about the importance of their respective services as well as the importance of working together as a team. "We need to operate forward where it matters and we got to be there when it matters, because nothing else matters," said Greenert. "And that's, simply put, what we're about, day in, day out. And the 'we' is all of us up here. It's the Navy, it's the Marine Corps and it's the Coast Guard together, supported by the maritime administration." The 2014 Sea-Air-Space features more than 175 industry exhibits, opportunities to learn about and test advanced military equipment, professional development sessions, and daily exhibit hall floor speaker sessions.

13 Sailors Complete Financial Specialist Training Workshop

(Infographic by MC3 Erica Yelland)
The Fleet and Family Support Center’s (FFSC) Personal Financial Management Specialist, Quinton Finuff, graduated his first Command Financial Specialist (CFS) class, April 4. The class of 13 Sailors received their CFS certification training during the five-day workshop. A CFS provides assistance to the military community and should be the first stop for a service member who has questions or concerns about their personal financial readiness. “Command financial specialists can handle things at the command level before problems get out of hand,” said Finuff. “They allow service members to go to someone they see every day, a Sailor they can relate to and feel comfortable talking to.” The command financial specialist’s role is to provide personal financial education, training, counseling, information and referrals to active duty service members and their families. Some of the specialist’s goals are to help individuals achieve
financial success and learn to confidently manage their finances, reducing the stressors in their daily lives. They are trained to establish, organize and administer the Personal Financial Management program at the command level. Each command with more than 25 personnel is required to have a CFS and one for every 75 personnel. Financial readiness plays an important part in a service member’s life, which is why in order to become a command financial specialist, service members must be pre-screened by their command and have a rank of E-6 or above, though E-4 and E-5 service members are permitted to become financial specialists under special circumstances. A potential CFS will receive certification after completion of 40 hours of financial training. Once training is complete, the CFS will continue to receive updated and current information regularly form FFSC’s Personal Financial Manager. The next Command Financial Specialist training is scheduled for July 21. Call the FFSC at DSN 629-6372 or 081-811-6372 for more information about this and other workshops.

Dr. Heather Willauer and her team at the Naval Research Laboratory recently announced technology they developed that converts seawater to a liquid hydrocarbon fuel. In a proof of concept test using the molecularly restructured seawater, they successfully flew a radiocontrolled aircraft with an unmodified internal combustion engine. Centuries ago we used to talk about alchemists attempting to convert lead into gold. This, however, is not alchemy; this is real science. Although this technology may not be commercially viable for 10 years or more, I want you to understand why having alternative sources of energy is really important to your Navy. As a global force, we deliver 1.25 billion gallons of fuel worldwide to operators annually. Operationally, this is an Achilles’ heel. I remember years ago when I was aboard my destroyer in the Adriatic, on station, prepared, with Tomahawks, ready to answer our Nation’s call to use them if necessary. I would have to leave that station every few days to be able to rendezvous with the oiler far out in the Mediterranean. When I did that, I was no longer available for the mission. That’s what this revolutionary game changer is about – the idea that maybe you won’t have to leave station to go find the oiler – maybe you’ll be able to produce that fuel where you are – at sea. We need to reinvent how we create energy, how we value energy and how we consume energy. We need to challenge the assumptions that are a result of the last six decades of constant access to cheap, seemingly unlimited amounts of fuel. Developing game changing technology – combined with other advanced power sources such as biofuels and solar panels – will enable the Navy to do just this at sea and on land. Some options, like drop-in biofuels, are available
today, have already been certified for our use, and will be commercially viable in the near term. In fact, the plan in place will begin delivering biofuel at less than $4 per gallon beginning in 2016. Converting fuel from seawater, when produced at economies of scale, could provide a new source of power for our ships and aircraft. It will make us less reliant on fuel from specific ports, reduce or nearly eliminate our need for fuel resupply, and, thereby, increase our independence, resilience and combat effectiveness. Imagine the flexibility we might have if we could make all the fuel we needed for our maritime forces while at sea: • Decreased dependence on oilers, enabling our aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers to travel farther and have greater flexibility in which route to take. • Less oiler movement in and out of port, making it harder for adversaries to detect where we are operating. • Destroyers that would normally escort oilers now being dedicated to other missions. After more than a decade of war, our adversaries have found certain soft underbellies to our operations. They know that when you go after the logistics and resupply of fuel, that’s an easier target than confronting our frontline forces. What if we removed that from the equation? Can you imagine a time when an aircraft carrier doesn’t have to wait for the oiler to come steaming alongside it to deliver jet fuel? It truly does change things. It prevents what could one day be our ‘maritime IED moment.’ The Navy has always been at the forefront of energy innovation. You might say it’s one of our core competencies. We innovated and created capability when we shifted from sail to coal, coal to oil, and then introduced nuclear propulsion. I think the American people expect us in the military to have a sense of vision, of where things can go in the future. This is, I believe, an element of that.

Obtaining your Sojourner Permit Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a 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 COMING 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 the acquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.
