JFC Naples Brings Bavaria to Lago Patria with Oktoberfest 2014
W hat ’ s I nsIde
By MC1 David R. Krigbaum, Navy Public Affairs Support Element East – Detachment Europe
Six million people make the pilgrimage to Munich every year for the original Oktoberfest, but U.S. and NATO service members and their families were given the opportunity to partake in a real Oktoberfest experience at Allied Joint Force Command (JFC) Naples, Sept. 19. Oktoberfest began in 1810 with the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig, later King Ludwig I, to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. The people of Munich were invited to festivities held on the fields before the city gates to celebrate. Though it began in Munich, Oktoberfest events are now celebrated throughout Germany and the world, even as far away as Yokohama. This year marked the 12th annual JFC Naples Oktoberfest. “The reason [we hold] German Oktoberfest here in Naples is to promote German culture and tradition and to improve the relationship with the other partner nations within NATO and all the military personnel and their families and friends,” said Lt. Cmdr. Sven Kasimir, JFC Naples Public Affairs. “And the best way to get in contact and meet is to celebrate with drinks and food.” See OKTOBERFEST 2014 Page 5

Weekly Crime Report
From U.S. Central Command Public Affairs
U.S. military forces and partner nations, including the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, undertook military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria overnight, Sept. 22, using a mix of fighter, bomber, remotely piloted aircraft and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles to conduct 14 strikes against ISIL targets. The strikes destroyed or damaged multiple ISIL targets in the vicinity of Ar Raqqah, Dayr az Zawr, Al Hasakah, and Abu Kamal and included ISIL fighters, training compounds, headquarters and command and control facilities, storage facilities, a finance center, supply trucks and armed vehicles. To conduct these strikes, the United States employed 47 TLAMs launched from USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine Sea operating from international waters in the Red Sea and North Arabian Gulf, as well as U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps fighter, re-

Base Notes
Uniform Wear Off Base Limited
By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer
I’d like to start out this week by reminding everyone that the security and safety of our personnel and their families is my primary focus. You may see increased force protection measures on base, and we have been given guidance to curtail use of uniform wear to and from work if public transportation is being used or out in town - outside your personal vehicle. Official Navy PT gear is not authorized for use off installations. Please help to get the word out. All U.S. citizens conducting personal travel around Europe should closely monitor State Department travel warnings and alerts, and read the country-specific information on their website. Take a look at www.travel.state.gov to review the latest safety and security information for the countries you plan to visit. Also, remember to submit an Individual Force Protection Plan prior to taking leave. It’s required to have a record of your travel and you’ll get information on requirements and suggested force protection measures. One important reminder for everyone in our community, if you see anything out of the ordinary, illegal or unsafe, call Emergency Dispatch at 911 on base, or 081-568-4911 off base. Help us ensure the safety and security of our people and facilities. We have a huge cleanup project taking place tomorrow and I encourage everyone to participate. The Support Site perimeter will be cleaned by a joint effort from our community and our Italian hosts. The Second Class Petty Officers Association has done a great job coordinating this and we’re looking forward to participation from the Mayor of Gricignano, FareAmbiente, Senesi, Mirabella and all the other volunteers making their way here tomorrow. Come out, help make our base look its best and take part afterwards in a great barbecue with everyone in the Housing office’s parking lot right off base. Besides the fence line, I ask that community members also continue to be good stewards to the interior of our base. I’ve noticed more trash recently at our parks and playgrounds. Do your part by picking up after yourself and remind others - politely! Our children could use a reminder as well and most don’t want to be playing on trashy playgrounds. We had nearly 400 participants in last week’s Color it Up run, so another successful event from our professionals at MWR. They’re hosting a flea market and the Youth Fall Sports opening ceremonies at Carney Park tomorrow and finishing the day off with a free concert by Anberlin at the Support Site Central Park at 7:30 p.m. The Navy Entertainment and Armed Forces Entertainment tours have been flowing through here this month and I ask that everyone takes advantage of this great opportunity. The weather should be good and I hope to see a great turnout from our community. Be safe and I’ll see you at any of the many events going on this weekend.
An increased force protection policy is in effect that curtails the wear of uniforms by service members off military installations. Effective immediately, service members shall not wear uniforms while using public transportation or get out of their personal vehicle while traveling inuniform. Military PT uniforms are also not authorized for use off base.

Beach Weddings Legal The city council of Mondragone, a seaside town located 45 km. from Naples, approved regulations for civil wedding celebrations to be held on the beach last week. The mayor said an “American style wedding” will allow spouses from all over Italy to celebrate their marriage on a beautiful environment that is enriched by a redeveloped waterfront that will be soon completed.
believed to have been halted by the saint's intervention, and again on the Saturday before the first Sunday in May. The liquefaction of the blood is a good omen for the city, Neapolitans see it as a sign of disaster when the blood does not liquefy. In fact, disaster has struck on at least five occasions when the blood failed to liquefy, including in 1527 when tens of thousands of people died from the plague, and in 1980 when 3,000 people were killed in an earthquake which devastated much of southern Italy.
Fastest Euro Train to Hit the Rail
Counterfeit Euros Seized
A new high-speed train was unveiled at the international transport technology trade fair in Berlin Tuesday. The new Freccia Rossa train will enter into service mid-June and will connect Rome to Milan in less than 2.5 hours reaching a commercial speed of 360 km/h to make it the fastest train in Europe. Trenitalia rail service acquired a total of 50 trains for 1.5 billion euros which will gradually enter into service between 2015 and 2017.
The Italian finance police seized 17 million counterfeit euros near Caserta, in Marcianise. The 50 euro banknotes were perfectly reproduces and ready to be placed into the Italian market. They were found in a van concealed with ordinary stationery. The person arrested, who had no previous police records, has been charged with counterfeiting, spending and circulating counterfeit money.
"Liquefaction a Success: Pope to Visit" Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, archbishop of Naples, announced during the ceremony of the liquefaction of Naples’ patron saint’s blood, that Pope Francesco will be in Naples in March 2015. The Pope will celebrate a mass at the Cathedral after visiting sick people and detainees. The blood of San Gennaro liquefied at 10:12 a.m. The miracle takes place on the anniversary of the martyrdom of the saint in September 305 AD. The miracle also takes place on December 16 to commemorate the 1631 eruption of Mt. Vesuvius,
More Than 25 Hot Air Balloons to Rise The 28th Hot air balloon festival takes place Thursday, Oct. 2nd until Sunday, Oct. 5th in Monteforte Fragneto, the Benevento province 65 km. from Naples.

ISIL IN SYRIA Also, in Iraq yesterday, U.S. military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists, using attack aircraft to conduct four airstrikes. The airstrikes destroyed two ISIL Humvees, an ISIL armed vehicle and an ISIL fighting position southwest of Kirkuk. All aircraft exited the strike areas safely. To date, U.S. Central Command has conducted a total of 194 airstrikes across Iraq against ISIL. The United States conducted
Continued from Page 1
these strikes as part of the president's comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL. Going forward, the U.S. military will continue to conduct targeted airstrikes against ISIL in Syria and Iraq as local forces go on the offensive against this terrorist group. Separately, the United States has also taken action to disrupt the imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests
conducted by a network of seasoned al-Qa'ida veterans - sometimes referred to as the Khorasan Group who have established a safe haven in Syria to develop external attacks, construct and test improvised explosive devices and recruit Westerners to conduct operations. These strikes were undertaken only by U.S. assets. In total, U.S. Central Command conducted eight strikes against Khorasan Group targets west of Aleppo to include training camps, an explosives and munitions production facility, a communication building and command and control facilities.

poW/mia recognition day honored From NSA Naples Public Affairs
"Today, as the POW/MIA flag is raised in communities across America, we pledge to live by its creed, 'You Are Not Forgotten,"' said Capt. Doug Carpenter, commanding officer of Naval Support Activity Naples and guest speaker at the official table ceremony, Sept. 19. "We are committed to our former POWs, to the fullest possible accounting of our missing, and their families, from all wars and all of our nation's past conflicts, just as we are committed to those who wear the uniform today." The C4I First Class Petty Officer Association organized the official table presentation for National POW/MIA Recognition Day and arranged for the table to be displayed in Capodichino's Bella Napoli. "No other country has devoted as much energy and so many resources to account for its fallen," said Carpenter. "We do the business because we believe that life is precious, and because those who put their lives on the line for this country need to know that we spare no effort to bring them home."

OKTOBERFEST 2014 Continued from Page 1
Lively music, the scent of bratwurst and goulash, and the taste of cold Bavarian beer, Oktoberfest is a festival for the senses. The JFC motor pool became a beer hall complete with stage, tables and checkered blue and white Bavarian banners, food and beer tents. A fun fair for all ages, a rock wall and games were set up outside for children. Authentic German food was brought in, as was Oktoberfest beer from a small Bavarian brewery that has been in business since 1308. Special beers are brewed for Oktoberfest, which at JFC were slow poured from a tap for the best taste. Beer plays an important role in the festivities, as Oktoberfest doesn’t begin until the first keg is tapped. Though beer had been flowing throughout the day
and numerous taps, Lt. Gen. Leonardo di Marco, JFC Naples chief of staff, had the honor of tapping the ceremonial keg to “officially” start Oktoberfest late in the afternoon. Complimenting the authentic flavor were popular music acts from Germany and Austria, Wolayersee Echo and Melissa Naschenweng, whose music permeated the night throughout the festival grounds. "With all the Bavarian decoration, the music, the food, it's a special atmosphere and it's unique," said Kasimir. Patrons were another important element. Members of the local U.S. military community were able to meet other service members from around Europe and interact over food and drink.

Energy Conservation Smart Sensors From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team
Lighting accounts for the largest consumption of electricity in the US. Approximately 38 billion dollars a year is spent on energy used to produce lighting. Many facilities have incorporated motion sensors into their lighting systems in order to reduce consumption. Motion sensors are used to detect motion in an area. If the sensor does not detect movement for a prolong amount of time the lighting circuit is de-energized. As beneficial as this invention has been the issue is it only detects motion with about 75% of accuracy. A Smart sensor, also known as an Image Processing Occupancy Sensor (IPOS) has recently been developed by the researchers at the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. These sensors incorporate the technology commonly used in smart phones for motion detection. They have a tiny camera with a microprocessor that can detect human presence and even the number of humans in the room. With this new technology these sensors can detect motion with 90% accuracy. This can lead to a greater reduction in energy waste caused by lighting systems.

Google Maps Records Virtual Tour of USS Constitution By MC3 Victoria Kinney, USS Constitution Public Affairs
USS Constitution worked with Google Maps Sept. 22 to record a virtual ship tour of 'Old Ironsides.’ Google Maps photographed the ship to create a virtual 360-degree experience of Constitution in preparation for the ship's scheduled dry-dock period in March 2015. "People around the country and across the world will have the opportunity to experience Constitution online," said Cmdr. Sean Kearns, Constitution's 73rd commanding officer, "This capability will be especially important while most areas of the ship are inaccessible during her restoration." The 216-year-old warship will be added to the list of historical landmarks that Google Maps has available for online tours. Among the list are the Taj Mahal, The Louvre Mu-
seum, underwater reefs, and regular street views from around the world. To date, Google Maps has been able to cover 57 different countries. The Constitution, however, is considered a "street view special collect," said Curt Fennell, a Google Maps systems administrator, and U.S. Marine Corps veteran. "We like to have as much information as possible; it's our mission,” said Fennell. “The USS Constitution is a national treasure. Since she will be unavailable for a few years, we want to make her available for viewers from all over.” 'Old Ironsides' will be moving to dry-dock in 2015, and the restoration is scheduled to last three years. The virtual tour will help Constitution and history enthusiasts view and experience the ship as she presently looks at her berth in Charlestown Navy Yard before preparations begin to de-rig and offload the

Drop, Cover, and Hold On Quake-EX 2015 is Coming
From Naval Support Activity Naples Emergency
The Naval Support Activity Naples Emergency Management team will be hosting Quake-EX 2015, Oct. 16, to give area commands and personnel a chance to practice their mustering and accountability. Natural disasters can occur at any time and knowing your command’s emergency plan is a key aspect to appropriately act after one strikes. The sudden and violent shaking experienced during an earthquake is caused by the shifting and breaking of subterranean rocks. Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere and anytime without warning, so you and your family should be prepared. • Minimize home hazards by bolting shelves, bookcases, china cabinets, and other tall furniture and strapping the water heater to studs in the walls. • Identify a safe place in every room of your home where nothing can fall on you, such as under a table, against a wall, or in a doorway. • Practice earthquake drills as a family so everyone knows what to do, especially “Drop, Cover, and Hold On!” – Ensure you have a fully-stocked disaster kit What Do I Do If There Is an Earthquake? If you are indoors: • Do not run outside. There may be falling debris. • If possible, DROP to the ground, take COVER under a table or sturdy piece of furniture, and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. • The electricity may go out, so don’t use elevators.

If you are outdoors: • Move away from buildings, street lights, and utility wires or anything that could fall into somewhere open. If you are in a moving vehicle: • Stop as soon as you can, away from buildings or anything that could fall. • Stay in the vehicle What to Do When the Shaking Stops • Check yourself and others for injuries. • Turn off the gas if you suspect a leak. • Stay tuned to the radio for further information and instructions 106.00 & 107.00 FM. • Expect aftershocks, which can come minutes, hours, or days after an earthquake. Where Can I Find Additional Information and Resource?

Community members collaborate to create a ‘Chalk the Walk’ art piece to honor the Gold Star program, Aug. 22, at the Support Site. The Navy Gold Star program is an initiative designed to provide long-term assistance to families who had members die in service. (Photo courtesy of MWR)
Navy Gold Star Program Prepares to Launch By Navy Installations Command Public Affairs A new initiative to assist Gold Star Families - those whose military members have died in service - will be launched Oct. 1 by Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC). The Navy Gold Star (NGS) program will provide Gold Star Families a level of long-term assistance and support not previously available through the Navy. It is enhanced with the active participation of new NGS region and installation coordinators, which are the lead agents for actions within the long-term casualty supporting process. "I am excited about this new Navy program. I believe in it," said Vice Adm. William French, commander, Navy Installations Command during his opening comments for the NGS coordinators' initial training held at the CNIC headquarters in Washington, DC. "Gold Star Families need and their sacrifices need to be recognized. I envy you all because you come to an organization that makes a big difference to families." According to the NGS Program Manager for CNIC Mike Bruner, NGS coordinators play an important role providing support for family members through a very difficult time, helping them build resilience and establish a new normal. Guided by the coordinators, Gold Star Families will be able to connect with support groups and grief counselors. Additionally, new services may also include chaplain care, school liaison assistance, and family employment. The training for the coordinators is a two-day program filled with informa-
tional tools including the description of the duties and responsibilities of the Casualty Assistance Calls Officers, an overview of all CNIC fleet and family support programs, discussions on the standardized procedures for survivor assistance, and training on the Defense Casualty Information Process System (DCIPS), among others. "Another great benefit is the inclusion of financial counselors that can provide education on budgeting and investing," added Bruner. "These financial counselors are committed to assisting survivors to create a solid foundation for financial success." At the training French also spoke to each one of the coordinators stressing the importance of collaboration and team work. "You are building this program; take all the great ideas from our counterparts, the best ones and leverage each other, push the headquarters ... we want all of you to have the tools in place to be successful," he said. French spoke about the standardization of procedures across the enterprise and emphasized that this new program provides the opportunity to work on regulating the delivery of services across the regions. In order to accomplish this, he highlighted the importance of the coordinators and urged them to begin working on achieving consistency, identifying the inconsistencies they come across, selecting the ones that really matter, and then feeding back to CNIC so that leadership may be involved in helping solve those inconsistencies. "A program like this one cannot be managed from the headquarters,"

Pompei closed its fourth annual public film festival, in memory of Massimo Troisi, with a gala, concert and awards ceremony, Sep. 20. The star studded event, held at Teatro Di Costanzo Mattiello, marked the ending of a week of selected films from an international pool of applicants. The evening began with the arrival of guests, including the Naples U.S. Consul General Colombia Barrosse, in the court yard of the palazzo outside the theater. Guests mingled under the setting sun surrounded by palm trees and high end sports cars. The snack bar provided cold water, Café del Nonno, and other chilled refreshments to counter the humid heat at the end of the day. Inside the theater the band performed a sound check as guests from the general public purchased tickets at the counter for 15 euro. Around 9 p.m. after guests took their seats, the schedule of events began with a memorial to Massimo Troisi, featuring small clips from his works. The memorial was interspersed with presentations of the festival’s awards by Festival President and Organizer Raffaele De Luca. On Monday, Sep. 15, the Pompeii Film Festival’s Honorary Patron, Larry Wood, provided some insight on the dedication of the festival. “Massimo Troisi died twenty years ago this year and has not been honored with anything to remember his contributions to film and comedy. Rafelle De luca decided it would be an honorable thing to recognize him through comedy,” said Wood. “He passed away during the filming of Il Postino and his stand-in will be there as well to reflect on his memories of Troisi. Robin Williams who recently passed away will also be recognized for his contributions to film, to television, and his contributions to comedy.” Awards this year were given to films and other mediums in categories ranging from books on cinema to the festival’s top honor for best film. This year The Humbling starring Al Pacino was selected as best film of the festival. The Pompei Film Festival award is designed after a statue found in front of The House of the Faun in Pompei, an aristocratic house built during the Roman Republic in the 2nd century BC. Next year the festival organizers plan on hosting a larger event in the same location with hopes of further promoting the city of Pompei and its cultural heritage.

Navy Band Plays 'Jazz under the Stars' By MCSN Mat Murch
The U.S. Naval Forces Europe Band’s Allied Forces “Jazz Diplomats” played a free public concert at the village forum on Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples, Support Site, Sept. 14. The event, part of Jazz Under the Stars, an annual concert held by the USO, kicked off at 6:30 p.m. with a half hour of a small combo band playing various songs including, “The Saints Go Marching In,” sung by Musician 3rd Class Ben Strickland. At 7 p.m. the Jazz Diplomats began their show. “Most of the time we play in various cities and towns around Italy,” said Musician 1st Class Jennifer Wilson. “It really is great to be able to play in our own backyard since we do it so rarely. Being able to perform for the people who support us all the time is a really great thing.” As the band began to play and the sun went further down in the sky, more and more people came out to hear them and to partake in the food stands. “At first I came out to see what the USO had actually set up,” Said Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Adrian Lassiter. “That was before the band really got going though. My wife and I had gone to eat and we heard the band playing. It sounded great so I wanted to go and take my son out to hear them.” Cmdr. Don Biadog, a chaplain at NSA Naples, was also in attendance with his camera taking photos of the band. “I heard the band was playing from the USO director, and as a big time supporter of the USO and the band, I wanted to come see the show,” said Biadog. “As the chaplain, many people came and asked me to pray for good weather and we got it, there was a chance of rain. I thank the guy upstairs.” As the night went on, Capt. Bill Henderson (ret.) sang several songs along with Strick-

land, while children danced and played in the crowd. After the last song, the audience took to their feet and clapped for the whole band, with Master Chief Musician Thomas Lawrence asking Henderson to return to the playing area for the applause. “It’s fun, refreshing and entertaining to hear this band play,” said Biadog. “This is great for the morale of the base, and I’m really glad the weather was so perfect for it.”

The word "Ombudsman" originated in Scandinavian countries and referred to safeguarding the rights of citizens. Now the word Ombudsman refers to a person who safeguards the rights of Navy families who rely on communication from commands to stay informed and flexible. It's not a job for just anyone. Lisa O'Neil and Chad Ludwick know that. "Navy Family Ombudsmen are a group of extremely dedicated volunteers who continually train to assist Navy families to successfully navigate the challenges of the Navy lifestyle," said Lisa, whose husband Mike O'Neil is a chief. "The Ombudsman Program improves family readiness, which in turn improves mission readiness." And that sounds great. However, hours are not preset, your job description is always changing depending on the needs of the command, the Sailors and their families, and most times it's thankless. And that's why September is designated as Ombudsman Appreciation Month, to officially thank Ombudsman for the service they provide to the Navy. "I love being an Ombudsman!" said Lisa. "The Ombudsman Program offers quality training while serving amazing Navy families and working alongside some of the most talented Navy and civilian professionals." And for Lisa, she doesn't need to be thanked. "The biggest reward comes from helping Navy families and empowering them to advocate for themselves, and thrive in situations they may or may not have thought they could have made it through without the support of their Ombudsman," said Lisa. "Lisa has made an immeasurable difference in my career," said Mike. "She is the one and only person besides the Chief's Mess that I can turn to at any time and ask for help and use as a sounding board. The life of a military spouse is the toughest job in the military and had it not been for Lisa sticking by my side for the past 20 years of our marriage, then my career would have surely suffered." And Mike isn't the only person who feels that way. Just ask former Chief

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. Contact Tiziana Petrarca, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-5684639 for more information.

(Photo courtesy of Fleet and Family Support Center) Paula Ludwick. Her husband Chad, a retired Cryptologic Technician, supported her career until its very end. "I didn't really want to be an Ombudsman," said Chad. "It took a lot of begging and pleading from my wife's commanding officer. He knew I was good at talking to people about the military and dealing with spouses, so he kept trying to get me to take the position. Eventually they had no one to take the role, so I stepped up until someone else could be identified." "Chad has supported me from day one," said Paula. When I made chief he was right there for me - cooking meals and helping with the bake sales. He saw a need and he filled it. It's what he's done for me, what he's done for our family, and what he did for the Navy when called upon." "I was intimidated from day one," said Chad. "I was one of six males in the entire Region Southwest in a role that is almost fully women. But I persevered. As the Ombudsman I was the go-between for families and the command. My wife's command was a high deployment command and at a moment's notice members would be called to deploy. Sometimes they'd get the call and have to leave in the middle of
the night and the family didn't know what to do the next morning. But that's where I would come in. With the help of the command we found a solution to every problem. The role of the Ombudsman is to help. A lot of spouses don't know what goes on with military life, even if they have been married into it for 20 years. We help with the pieces that don't make sense." Sometimes those pieces are as simple as checking into a new command. "I support active duty couples and families prior to their arrival to the area," said Lisa. "I took the lead on making our command Family Website a reality with the support of our officer in charge , senior enlisted adviser, an active duty team member and our Warrior & Family Support Senior Analyst. That Website is the best way for our active duty service members and their families to stay updated on the most current command and community information, news and resources.� For more information on becoming an Ombudsman, visit the Fleet and Family Support Center or take a look at www.cnic.navy.mil/ffr/family_readiness/fleet_and_family_support_program/ombudsman_program.html.
