Important Information to Know About the Measles Outbreaks in Europe From U.S. Naval Hospital Naples Public Health

There are measles outbreaks in several European countries. Almost all cases have occurred in individuals not properly immunized against the disease.

The most seriously affected countries are Italy and Romania. However, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, and the Ukraine are seeing a significant number of cases and Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Iceland, Hungary, Portugal, Spain and Sweden have also reported cases.

Measles can be a very serious, even fatal, illness and is especially severe in babies and elderly persons. Spread of measles occurs similarly to influenza and can be passed through water droplets from in-

fected persons coughing and sneezing.

Measles is highly contagious but there is a safe and effective vaccine available to prevent this disease. The vast majority of Americans are already immunized against measles, having received at least two doses of the MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine in early childhood.

To help protect your family when traveling around Europe, we recommend that you review your shot records to ensure that everyone is fully vaccinated against measles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended early vaccination for children six months to one year who will travel in areas where Measles is present and Europe falls under this travel recommendation. The early

dose can be given as early as six to 11 months of age but does not replace the first dose in the normal immunization schedule at 12 to 15 months with a second dose a minimum of 28 days later.

If you would like to discuss protecting your infant with an early dose of measles vaccine, or assistance reviewing your family members’ immunization status, please schedule an appointment with your Primary Care team at U.S. Naval Hospital, Naples Medical Homeport, Pediatrics or Naval Branch Health Clinic Capodichino.

You may also contact your provider via Relay Health for questions or concerns.

For the USNH Naples Medical Homeport/Pediatrics Appointment Line call DSN 629-6000 or commercial 081-811-6000; or the Naval Branch Health Clinic (NBHC) Capodichino Appointment Line at DSN 626-4786 or commercial 081-568-4786.

Dunford ‘Enthusiastic’ About NATO's Ability to Address New Threats

By Jim Garamone DoD News

NATO’s chiefs of defense discussed the big changes happening to the alliance during the military committee meeting that ended May 18, 2017, in Brussels.

Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he was pleased with the discussions among the highest-ranking military members in the alliance.

“I am enthusiastic coming out of today because today I felt like I was surrounded not by problem identifiers but by problem solvers,” he said during an interview after the meeting.

“We could disagree about the methodology, but everyone agreed we have some problems and challenges out there,” he said. “We have to do something to enhance stability, project stability, to mitigate the flow of refugees and drive down the level of violence and capabilities of these extremist groups.”

Historic Alliance NATO stuck together during the Cold War, providing a bulwark against the threat of the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact satellites. When the Soviet Union fell, many of the nations that were part of the Warsaw Pact joined NATO. Russia, for a time, looked as if it would be a partner and worked with NATO in the Balkans and elsewhere.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

Memorial Day weekend is here, which means the Support Site pool is opening for the summer and many are taking the opportunity to travel for R&R or to tour historical places. Memorial Day is an important holiday, especially those of us serving in or connected with the Armed Forces, and it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the meaning behind this holiday. Memorial Day was originally established in 1868 as “Decoration Day” by American Civil War veterans to honor those who were killed in action.

The memorial gained popularity and spread across the nation, with many states creating their own official versions. In 1971, Congress lifted the holiday to the federal level, calling for an observance on the last Monday of each May. Today, we celebrate Memorial Day to remember sacrifices made by service members who gave their lives in defense of our nation.

When you travel, please keep ensure you share your travel plans with your chain of command and keep safety first in your mind. Study the locations you will visit and while you’re there maintain vigilance and awareness of your surroundings. If possible avoid large crowds and protests, and please follow all of the rules required by countries you visit. With Italy’s suspension of the Schengen agreement this month, everyone should be aware that you’ll need to clear customs coming back through Italian airports and it could take a little more time than normal.

On a note that hits a little closer to home, the amount of litter and trash on base seems to be on the decline and I really appreciate the effort that the community is putting in to keeping the base as clean as possible. It is motivating to live and work in a clean environment. There are many external stakeholders involved in trash services for the base, but it is critical that we as a community continue to maintain a high standard for the things that lie within our control. Many tenant commands and organizations have adopted trash trouble spots around the base and they also sponsor clean-up events – THANK YOU and BRAVO ZULU! Please keep up the great work, and as we hit the onset of PCS season please pass the litter-free message on to newcomers just arriving to Naples.

The one area that still needs work is recycling. On base and off, please do your best with the Italian recycling program, and remember that the amount we pay to collect trash is directly proportional to our recycling performance.

Stay safe and please slow down on the roads.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

HISTORY: FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN GRADUATES FROM ANNAPOLIS

By Gary Nichols

On June 3, 1949, Midshipman Wesley A. Brown became the first African-American to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. A native of Baltimore, Brown grew up in Washington, D.C., within commuting distance of the Naval Academy.

His father drove a delivery truck and his mother worked at a dry cleaner. Brown served in the Army reserves as a teenager and later attended Howard University before his appointment to Annapolis in 1949.

At Annapolis, Brown studied engineering and ran varsity track and cross-country. One of his cross-country teammates was upperclassmen Jimmy Carter, who would later become the 39th president of the United States.

Brown was the sixth African-American to enroll at Annapolis, but was the first to successfully endure the racist environment that was widespread at the time.

“I feel it is unfortunate the American people have not matured enough to accept an individual on the basis of his ability and not regard a person as an oddity because of his color,” Brown said following his graduation. “My class standing shows that around here, I am an average Joe. Highlighting that point was Brown’s class standing – 370 out of 790 – in the statistical middle of his graduating class.

His military record was anything but average. He was a veteran of three wars: World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

He built houses in Hawaii, a nuclear power plant in Antar-

ctica and a desalinization plant at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The largest-scale projects that he worked on were construction of the Naval Air Station Cubi Point, Philippines, which, at that time, was the largest earth-moving undertaking in the world after the Panama and Suez Canals, and construction of the aircraft carrier wharf at Subic Bay. He also had special assignments in Liberia, Chad, the Central African Republic and Costa Rica, for which he received a Secretary of the Navy commendation in 1964.

Brown retired on June 30, 1969, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander after 20 years as part of the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps.

Brown continued working as an engineer, first for the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Long Island, until 1976, and then in the facilities planning department at Howard University.

Public service had always been an important part of his life: He was a member of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, the NAACP the American Civil Liberties Union, the John Wesley AME Zion Church and the National Naval Officers Association. He served as a Naval Academy Athletic and Scholarship Program Foundation Trustee, member and chairman of the D.C. delegate’s Congressional Nominations Review Board for U.S. Service Academies and a member of the Secretary of the Navy’s Advisory Subcommittee on Naval History.

On March 25, 2006, the Academy broke ground for the

Midshipman Wesley A. Brown, circa 1949.

Wesley Brown Field House, a 140,000 square-foot athletic facility named in his honor.

The building is home to the men and women’s cross country and track teams, sprint football team, and the women’s lacrosse team, as well as 16 club sports.

“This world is changing very quickly,” then-Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen, said during the groundbreaking ceremony. “But when you think about change with respect to diversity in our Navy and in our nation and you hearken back to the time when Wesley came to the Naval Academy, what a heroic step, what a courageous move and what a long lasting and historic contribution he made.”

The $50 million construction project was completed on May 10, 2008.

Brown also was featured in the 2007 book “Breaking the Color Barrier: The U.S. Naval Academy’s First Black Midshipmen and the Struggle for Racial Equality,” by Navy historian Robert J. Schneller Jr. Brown died on May 22, 2012, at the age of 85 from cancer, in Silver Spring, Md.

SPOTLIGHT: HM2 EMMANUEL ARANDA Hospital Corpsman Second Class Emmanuel Aranda, from El Paso, Texas, who has been in the Navy for nine years, reported to U.S. Naval Hospital Naples in May of 2016.

Aranda is a vital asset to the Main Operating Room and Anesthesia teams. As a Respiratory Therapist, he seamlessly assists providers with all scheduled and emergent cases, including airway/ventilator management; pediatric IV access, oral/nasal/video-assisted intubations, and laryngeal mask airway placements while maintaining 100 percent readiness of six operatory suites. He also, performs Pulmonary Function Test for NSA Naples DoD and NATO beneficiaries.

Aranda’s interest to improve patient safety and satisfaction led him to become an active member of the Emergency Response Committee and Strategic Goal Teams as well as becoming Departmental Customer Service Representative. Dedicated to foster a culture of fitness and health, he participates as an Assistant Command Fitness Leader and Healthcare to Health Representative in the command.

“Treating our patients as we would treat our own family members ensures we practice the highest level of patient care and patient satisfaction,” Aranda said.

His biggest passions are spending family time and playing soccer. He has his mind set on advancing to Petty Officer First Class and later commissioning via Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program (MECP). Aranda’s work ethic and professionalism accompanied by compassion and skilled patient care, demonstrate his potential as a future Nurse Corps Officer.

“I feel blessed to be back in Europe and to work alongside the best providers and corpsmen I’ve met in a surgical setting,” Aranda said. “My family and I look forward to resume our traveling and continue to enjoy all the food and great places Italy has to offer.”

USO Naples Hosts First Daddy-Daughter Dance

By Shaina O’Neal USO Programs and Volunteer Coordinator

Two-hundred military service members, spouses, and daughters attended USO Naples’ first Daddy-Daughter Dance at the Naples Elementary School Cafeteria May 20.

The inaugural event provided a unique opportunity for dads and daughters in the NSA Naples community to hit the dance floor and spend quality time together.

As guests entered the school, they were greeted by a Hollywood-style pink carpet with personalized stars to mark the entrance, a special photo booth provided by USO Center Operations Specialist Christina Luthy, and refreshments tables overflowing with sweet and salty treats to enjoy throughout the event.

Words of thanks poured in from the community as the event was streamed live on social media.

“It’s such a wonderful event,”

Community Member Christy Zaccardi, exclaimed. “Thank you so much for such a special time for daddies and daughters!”

Service members who were participating in the event also offered their thanks to the USO for hosting this unique event.

Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Aaron Young attended the dance, and enjoyed the group dances with his daughter.

“My daughter and I had a great time,” he said. “Thank you for putting this event together for us. I was really happy to see that this opportunity came up, and we look forward to attending the next one.”

During the dance, giveaways were presented to participants, including gift certificates to a local salon, and a USO Tour for a Day at the Beach for a family of four.

“We hope all our dads and daughters had as much fun as we did,” USO Naples Area Operations Manager Luisa Mazzella said. “It is our distinct

honor and privilege to be a part of the NSA Naples Community, and to be able to create opportunities for our military families to enjoy. We had a great turnout, a lot of positive feedback, and we look forward to delivering this program again in the future.”

For 76 years, the USO has continually worked to strengthen America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country, throughout their service to the nation. The USO Naples has been serving the Naples community since 1944 and continues to support its men and women with the same dedication and care shown in the first USO canteens. A liaison between the military and the local culture, the USO Naples also offers a variety of services to make Italy more accessible.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Water Conservation at Home From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Let’s talk water conservation. How can you conform to the standards and help increase water efficiency in your home?

On average, 10 gallons per day of your water footprint (or 14% of your indoor use) is lost to leaks.

Short of installing new water-efficient fixtures, one of the easiest, most effective ways to cut your footprint is by repairing leaky faucets and toilets.

Every time you shave minutes off your use of hot water, you also save energy and keep dollars in your pocket.

It takes about 40-50 gallons of water to fill a standard size bathtub, so showers are generally the more water-efficient way to bathe. The average shower uses 17.2 gallons of water.

All of those flushes can add up to nearly 20 gallons a day down the toilet (Literally) Nearly 22% of indoor home water use comes from doing laundry. Save water by making sure to adjust the settings on your machine to the proper load size.

Dishwashing is a relatively small part of your water footprint—less than 2% of indoor use—but there are always ways to conserve. Using a machine is actually more water efficient than hand washing, especially if you run full loads. Energy Star dishwashers use about 4 gallons of water per load, and even standard machines use only about 6 gallons. Hand washing generally uses about 20 gallons of water each time.

And last of all why is any of this important and what does water have to do with conserving energy? Well the answer to that is simple. Water is the cornerstone of life and clean water is not a limitless source. Water needs electricity to pump the water to your shower to purify the water that you drink and other things such as heating and cooling water.

College in Your Future? Tuition Assistance Dollars are Available!

By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Public Affairs

For service members interested in pursuing or continuing their education while on active duty, Navy tuition assistance (TA) is designed to help.

“Two of the questions we get asked most often are ‘How do I get started with my education?’ and ‘How do I pay for it?’,” Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Voluntary Education (VOLED) Program Director Ernest D’Antonio said. “The answers are easy. 1-Start with the Navy College Program (NCP) website or Virtual Education Center (VEC), and 2-Talk with your Navy College Education Counselor to ensure TA eligibility and 3-Apply.” ● TA can fund up to 16 semester hours, 24 quarter hours or 240 clock hours per fiscal year, and pay up to $250.00 per semester hour, $166.67 per quarter hour or $16.67 per clock hour. ● TA can be used to pay for courses

leading to a first certificate, associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree. ● TA funded classes, combined with credits already earned from a service member’s military training from their Joint Services Transcript (JST), may accelerate degree completion while on active duty. Also, Final Multiple Score advancement points are available for degree completion through the E-6 exam.

Lawrence Daley, Education Services Specialist at the Navy College office on board Capodichino says every Sailor should take advantage of TA. “Naples is a great duty station for a lot of reasons, including many educational opportunities.” Daley said. “We have a Navy College Office, plus three on-base universities that make it really convenient to work on your college degree. Paying for college on your own can be very

expensive, and TA makes it really affordable.”

Lt. Cmdr. Nick Turner, Navy VOLED deputy director, stressed that TA money is currently available, and Sailors have a broad window in which to apply.

“The summer term is fast approaching and now is not too soon to begin planning for the fall term as well,” Turner said.

“Sailors need to ensure their WebTA applications are submitted and command approved between 120 and 14 days before the term start date.”

There’s a well-known saying ‘Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life,’” Daley added. “I completely agree, and strongly recommend that Sailors stop by the Navy College Office today and take that first step toward working on their college education.”

For Sailors in the Naples area, call DSN 626-6681 / 6683 or Comm. 081-

568-6681 / 6683 or email nco.naples@eu.navy.mil or stop by the Navy College Office in Admin 2, Room G36 at Capodichino.

For Sailors in the Continental United States (CONUS), contact a Navy College education counselor with your questions via the NCP website at (www.navycollege.navy.mil) “Assistance Center,” using Help Requests, CHAT, or call the Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) at 1877-838-1659, DSN 492-4684.

Customer service hours are MondayFriday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST. The VEC is closed on federal holidays.

The website also includes training, informational videos and briefs to help Sailors navigate the VOLED process.

All Sailors should also download the Navy College Program mobile app from the GooglePlay or Apple Store.

Navy HHG Provides Moving Tips to Help Sailors During Peak Moving Season

By Suzanna Brugler NAVSUP GLS, Deputy, Office of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs

Naval Supply Systems Command Global Logistics Support (NAVSUP GLS) Household Goods (HHG) has moving tips for Sailors and their families who will be executing a HHG move during the current peak moving season this year.

With the HHG peak season running from the beginning of May through August, NAVSUP GLS recommends that the process be started early and remember to be flexible.

The high volume of moves during peak season drives a 4-6 week lead time for scheduling moves. Moving company capacity challenges are already evident in Hawaii and the East Coast.

Start the process early by going to www.navsup.navy.mil/householdgood for information. Be sure to indicate alternate dates for pack out and pickup when completing the application.

Pre-move survey Once the service member initiates the move online, the shipment contract has been awarded, and the transportation service provider (TSP) assigned, the TSP will contact the service member to schedule and perform the pre-move survey. Be aware the TSP will conduct a pre-move survey no later than three business days prior to the first scheduled pack date.

The pre-move survey allows the TSP to establish a more realistic weight estimate, determine how many crew to assign, determine what packing materials are needed and whether any special equipment is needed.

All dates for packing, pickup and delivery are finalized between the service member and the assigned TSP. Of note, there should be only one moving company at the residence at any given time. Cases that involve multiple carriers, such as a HHG shipment combined with non-temporary storage items and/or unaccompanied baggage, the service member must space out the timing of the moves during the premove process in order to avoid items being packed in the wrong shipment.

Pack out and pickup availability Service members or their designated releasing agents must be available between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on all pack out and pickup dates. Agents may specify during the pre-move survey specific times when they are not available (i.e. before 10 a.m.), however, if the assigned moving company shifts their work-

load or finishes another job early, the service member or releasing agent must be available to meet them on the scheduled date.

An example is if the agent specifies that they will not be available before 10 a.m. on the scheduled pack out date, and due to a schedule shift the moving company shows up at the residence at 9:30 a.m. while the agent is not present. In this case, the service member may be charged for an attempted pickup. The best general practice is for either the service member or the designated releasing agent to remain at the residence for the entire duration, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

While the moving company is at the residence, service members or their agents should not plan to leave for an appointment or pick up children, unless a designated agent is present.

Additionally, movers can remain at the residence up to 9 p.m. the day of the scheduled move to finish packing or loading the truck. If they wish to stay longer, it must be agreed upon by both the service member and the movers.

Self-packed items Items service members may have packed themselves or that still in their original boxes may be opened and repacked. This is done so that the moving company knows what is inside the box, and can appropriately inventory the items to ensure they are not damaged before taking possession.

Move date notification Be sure you have a confirmed date for your pack out and pickup before you inform your landlords or turn off your utilities.

Transit times Minimum transit times for moves are determined by the Defense Travel Regulation. For example, on domestic shipments moving companies are given a minimum of 14-20 days to drive from the East Coast to the West Coast, depending on the weight of the shipment and the start and end locations.

International transit times can be anywhere from 30-90 days, depending on the start and end locations.

NAVSUP GLS provides global logistics for a global Navy. The organization is made up of approximately 6,300 military and civilian logistics professionals operating from 105 locations worldwide, providing an extensive array of integrated global logistics and contracting services to Navy, Marine Corps, joint operational units, and allied forces across all warfare enterprises.

15 months,” Dunford said.

“The character of war has changed in some profound ways in space, cyber, land, air, sea. It involves all those domains.”

He added, “Any conflict is likely to have second and third order effects out of the geographic area. Even conflict with a non-state actor is still likely to see them leveraging cyber capabilities, information operations, and in some cases, high-end conventional capabilities.”

Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, renders honors during a wreath laying ceremony outside NATO Headquarters in Brussels during the Military Committee Meeting, May 17, 2017. The ceremony honored the men and women who have fallen in NATO service. The chiefs of defense met to discuss Afghanistan, countering terrorism and other NATO operations and missions to provide the North Atlantic Council with consensus-based military advice on how to best meet global security challenges.

From page 1

At one point, it looked as if the need for NATO was going away. Europe looked like it was on the road to a new era of peaceful coexistence.

Today, however, a revanchist Russia appears set on regaining its power and influence on the continent.

Russia’s actions in Georgia, its illegal annexation of Crimea and its continuing actions in Ukraine demonstrate its desire to operate according to its own agenda.

And there is yet another threat emanating from the south. Terrorist networks – like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria – are driving people from their homes and trying to inculcate their fundamentalist philosophies on the populations of the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.

NATO adapted to meet these new threats. NATO units are forming in the Baltic Republics and in Poland. Exercises in Romania and in the Black Sea show that NATO is prepared to confront Russian aggres-

sion.

And NATO is confronting the new threat of terrorism with new methods, doctrines and capabilities.

“Where we are going is we need a network to defeat a network,” Dunford said.

“This is a global-transregional threat and we need a global-transregional network. And I think NATO is an important part of that network, and we are moving in the right direction in a number of important areas to get in place the enduring infrastructure [and] organizational construct to deal with the challenges out there.”

During the Cold War, NATO was focused on deterring the Soviet Union. Now, it needs a variety of capabilities to handle the threats of today.

“We believe you need to be trained, organized and equipped to conduct operations across the spectrum,” Dunford said.

New Types of Conflict U.S. military officials developing the National Military Strategy spoke about the

21st century’s transregional, multi-domain, multifunctional fight. Troops must be prepared for everything from outright war to deterring adversaries short of war.

Adversarial competition is the new term for the situation many parts of the world are in right now. This competition falls below the threshold of armed conflict and can involve information operations, unconventional operations, economic coercion and political influence, Dunford said.

At the military committee meeting, Army Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, supreme allied commander for NATO and commander of U.S. European Command, along with French air force Gen. Denis Mercier, the commander of allied command transformation, led the discussion on the challenges that NATO allies face and the means they are employing and developing to combat those threats.

“The discussion that General Scaparrotti led today was the equivalent of what we’ve been having in the United States over the last

Integrating Capabilities, Maintaining Relevance NATO is involved each day in this type of adversarial competition with state and non-state actors, Dunford said. The pressing question, he added, is: Do alliance nations have in place the organization, training, equipment and leadership to be competitive in confronting these new threats?

The alliance still must be prepared for a conventional conflict and provide nuclear deterrence, Dunford said.

Today’s challenges have grown from the Cold Warera scenario of tank-on-tank battle at the Fulda Gap in then-West Germany, to competition in all domains in-

11

cluding space, electronic warfare and cyber, the general said.

“When we bring together all of the countries with their collective capabilities we need to make sure we integrate our capabilities in a way that makes us competitive in the context of the character of war and the threat today as opposed to the threat in the 1980s,” he said.

In the 1980s, the AirLand battle doctrine dealt with a conventional threat and a certain understanding of time and space, he said.

“The speed of war has changed, and the competitive space runs across all spectrums,” Dunford said.

“In the 1980s, we thought we were either at peace or at war, and that could be contained geographically. Today, there is conflict short of war, and we no longer think it can be contained.”

Dunford said the conversation at the military committee meeting was about what actions the nations that make up NATO must take in the coming months “to ensure the capability path we are on makes us relevant and competitive today and tomorrow.”

DAILY TOURS

Origins of Memorial Day From Library of Congress

In 1868, Commander in Chief John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic issued General Order Number 11 designating May 30 as a memorial day “for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land.”

The first national celebration of the holiday took place May 30, 1868, at Arlington National Cemetery, where both Confederate and Union soldiers were buried. Originally known as Decoration Day, at the turn of the century it was designated as Memorial Day. In many American towns, the day is celebrated with a parade.

When a women’s memorial association in Columbus, Mississippi, decorated the graves of both Confederate and Union soldiers on April 25, 1866, this act of generosity and reconciliation prompted an editorial piece, published by Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune, and a poem by

Francis Miles Finch, “The Blue and the Grey,” published in the Atlantic Monthly.

The practice of strewing flowers on soldiers’ graves soon became popular throughout the reunited nation.

In 1971, federal law changed the observance of the holiday to the last Monday in May and extended the honor to all soldiers who died in American wars. A few states continue to celebrate Memorial Day on May 30.

Today, national observance of the holiday still takes place at Arlington National Cemetery with the placing of a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the decoration of each grave with a small American flag. Protocol for flying the American flag on Memorial Day includes raising it quickly to the top of the pole at sunrise, immediately lowering it to half-staff until noon, and displaying it at full staff from noon until sunset.
