This week, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert released his Navigation Plan for the Navy for 2014 to 2018 to the fleet. Drawing from the Sailing Directions and the three tenets of warfighting first, operate forward and be ready, the Navigation Plan defines the course and speed the Navy will follow to organ- ize, train and equip over the next several years. Greenert also addresses budgetary concerns about continuing resolutions, sequestration and preparations for the fiscal year 2014 budget in the document. "Our first consideration is the ability to fight and win today, while building the ability to win tomorrow," said Greenert. "Regardless of reduc- tions, we will continue to operate forward with ready forces, where it matters, when it matters." Greenert stated that despite future reduction to Navy's budget that may impact the ability to maintain the overall size of the fleet, the Navy will ensure that the deployable force is profi- cient and ready. This will include fielding and improving "kill chains", utilizing the electro- magnetic spectrum and maintaining the Navy's undersea dominance.

three tenets of warfighting first, operate forwardand be ready, the Navigation Plan defines thecourse and speed the Navy will follow to organ-ize, train and equip over the next several years. Greenert also addresses budgetary concerns

about continuing resolutions, sequestration andpreparations for the fiscal year 2014 budget inthe document.

"Our first consideration is the ability to fightand win today, while building the ability to wintomorrow," said Greenert. "Regardless of reduc-tions, we will continue to operate forward withready forces, where it matters, when it matters."Greenert stated that despite future reduction

to Navy's budget that may impact the ability tomaintain the overall size of the fleet, the Navywill ensure that the deployable force is profi-cient and ready. This will include fielding andimproving "kill chains", utilizing the electro-magnetic spectrum and maintaining the Navy'sundersea dominance.

Base Notes•• ••

Though it seemsincredible, summer isnearly over and the tem-peratures are beginningto moderate, FestaAmericana is a distantmemory, and to the col-lective dismay of stu-dents, school starts nextweek. For many familiesin the community, thelast few weeks have beena flurry of activity gear-ing up for fall sports,shopping for back-to-school supplies, andkeeping an eye on thefurlough schedule. For those who are unaware, furloughdays have been cut. Sorry kids, no three day weekends inSeptember!Yesterday, USNH Naples hosted a Sports Physical Rodeowhich provided dozens of students with the needed well-ness visits and paperwork for fall sports at Naples HighSchool. For those families who are just PCSing into thearea, or who have missed getting their children seen forsports physicals, all paperwork is due at the school by closeof business today. Make sure you call the hospital and getin touch with the school directly if you’re behind the curve;our outstanding medical professionals will make everyeffort to have new arrivals to the area seen same-day.This afternoon, Naples Middle and High School will hostthe 3rd Annual Back2School Block Party from 3:30 to 6:30p.m. The event will take place in front of the school, andwill feature food, music, fun and the 2nd annual Chalk theWalk competition. The block party is a great way for allfamilies, especially those new to the area, to get to knowtheir teachers for the fall, go on walking tours of the build-ing and classrooms, and get a look at activities for kids dur-ing the school year. For families who have just PCSed to thearea this summer, or for those who have children startingschool for the first time, the block party can be a great wayto alleviate anxiety in kids and parents. Additionally, fall means flu shots, and again this year Iwill be working with Capt. Pommer at USNH Naples toensure they are available to all at no cost. Get your familyout early for this care when it becomes available. It cangreatly impact the quality of life of not just your household,but also the workplace and wider community. As always, the end of the summer remains busy at NSANaples. Tomorrow, MWR will host a 5k Mud Run at CarneyPark. The Toastmasters, Single Sailors and NATO Lionsfootball team are all resuming fall schedules in the comingdays. Next week, Fleet and Family Services Center, in con-junction with the Department of the Navy’s Sexual AssaultPrevention and Response’s Office, will host No Zebrastraining at Capo, Gaeta and Support Site for all personnel.I encourage you to participate in this powerful training.Until then, enjoy the cooler temperatures and a last trip ortwo before summer ends!

keep yourself hydrated,” said HospitalmanWilliam Z. Fore, safety petty officer at NavalBranch Health Clinic Capodichino. “Many heatrelated injuries are a result of a lack of hydrationor can quickly become more severe if the personisn’t hydrated.”Some other ways to combat heat related injuries

are to pre-hydrate and to exercise in groups whenexercising outside. “When we have nice weather, people become like

to go for a run outside,” said Fore. “It’s smart torun with a partner if you are going to run outside,especially in this heat. If you’re running with afriend, he could notice warning signs you may beshowing and would be able to help you get theattention you need before its gets worse.”Some warning signs you may see in people expe-

riencing a heat injury include dizziness,headaches, irritability, confusion, flushed faceand shortness of breath. When these symptomsoccur, it is essential to address the problem asquickly as possible to avoid a more serious situa-tion.“If someone is experiencing heat exhaustion, you

can help the situation by getting them out of theheat and to a place where they can cool down,such as an air conditioned room,” said Fore. “Youwant to make sure it doesn’t get to the pointwhere it becomes a heat stroke, because then itbecomes a serious medical emergency.”If someone is experiencing a heat stroke, it is

important to get them medical attention as soonas possible. Immediate attention is requiredbecause someone experiencing a heat stroke couldgo into shock or into a coma. NSA Naples currently uses the flag system to

help aide the service members assigned to thebase in making good decisions regarding physicaltraining in the heat. With this system, a flag isshown to show which current heat condition thebase is in. The different flags are:• White: Extremely intense physical exertionmay precipitate heat exhaustion or heatstroke, therefore, caution should be taken.

• Green: Discretion required in planning heavyexercise for unseasoned personnel. This is amarginal heat stress limit for all personnel.

• Yellow: Strenuous exercise and activity (e.g.close order drill) should be curtailed for newpersonnel that have not acclimated during thefirst three weeks of heat exposure.

• Red: Strenuous exercise curtailed for all per-sonnel with less then 12 weeks training in hotweather.

• Black: Physical training and strenuous exer-cise suspended for all personnel (excludingoperational commitment not for training pur-poses).

Conversion programs allow Sailors from allwalks of life to make a major job change and con-tinue their Navy careers, officials said Aug. 21.Several Continuum of Service (CoS) conversion

programs that apply to eligible officer and enlist-ed Sailors who are currently serving on activeduty or in the Reserves are outlined in NAVAD-MIN 198/13. To date, thousands of Sailors have converted to

different ratings, allowing the Navy to keepSailors who are committed to a career in theNavy. According to a new conversion status report on

the Active Duty Conversions Web Page onwww.npc.navy.mil, more than half of active dutyconversion requests in 2013 have already beenapproved. Applications for conversion can be submitted by

detailers, command career counselors (CCCs) or

anyone with prior access to Fleet-RIDE throughthe new Career Waypoint (C-WAY) informationtechnology system. A NAVPERS 5239/8 (SAARAddendum) is required to access C-WAY. Active-duty enlisted Sailors, in conjunction

with reenlistment applications submitted via theC-WAY-Reenlistment process, can voluntarilyrequest to change ratings.Reserve Sailors, working with their CCC, can

view and apply for a rating conversion throughC-WAY-Conversion. Active-duty and Reserve officers interested in

conversion can request a voluntary designatorchange. Requests for Reserve designator changesare considered continuously, while requests forAC designator changes are decided by a lateraltransfer board twice a year. Per MILPERSMAN 1440-010, requests for con-

version into ratings that are properly manned,will only be considered on a case-by-case basisand requests for conversion to overmanned rat-ings will not be considered.

Petty OfficerSelectee LeadershipCourses Updated

By Susan D. Henson, Center for Personal and Professional Development Public Affairs

Updated versions of the Petty Officer Selectee Leadership courses havebeen released, said the courses' manager at the Center for Personal andProfessional Development Aug. 20.Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate Handling (AW/SW) James Priest, man-

ager of the courses, said that the changes were announced in NavalAdministrative (NAVADMIN) message 207/13 and applies to Petty OfficerSelectee Leadership Course (POSLC), Petty Officer Second Class SelecteeLeadership Course (PO2SLC), and Petty Officer First Class Selectee(PO1SLC) Leadership Course. "As the NAVADMIN said, we added Sexual Assault Prevention and

Response and Combat/Operational Stress Control modules to the courses,per Chief of Naval Operations the Defense Department instructions, aswell as the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012," hesaid. "Commands must update their curricula to ensure they are teachingthe correct version of these courses to newly selected E-4 to E-6 petty offi-cers."The NAVADMIN references the instructions, which directed the military

services to include Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training andeducation in all leadership training and also that the training be tailoredfor each leadership level. The services were additionally directed to ensureleaders serving at all levels understand Combat/Operational StressControl Policy and management strategies."Commands will need to go to NKO to download the updated courses,

then follow the directions in the change letters to make the requiredchanges to integrate the new content into the printed leadership coursematerials they already have. Or they can download the entire revisedcourses with the changes already made," Priest said.Capt. John Newcomer, CPPD's commanding officer, said the course revi-

sions were a top priority for the CPPD curricula development team. "OurTraining Directorate team members worked hard to deliver this revisedcontent as soon as possible for fleet use," he said. "SAPR and OSC are bothtimely issues for the Navy to address. Completing these necessary courseupdates supports CPPD's goal to provide training that will equip Sailors tothink critically, act responsibly and lead proactively to meet the everchanging global challenges our Navy faces every day."For more information about the Center for Personal and Professional

The fifth annual Feds FeedFamilies food drive campaign, spon-sored by the Naval Support Activity(NSA) Naples Chapel, is acceptingdonations now through Aug. 28.Donations can be placed in marked

collection bins in various locationsthroughout the base and will begiven to the Bible Baptist Church inLago Patria.“In addition to nonperishable

goods, we donate money collectedfrom our religious services,” saidCmdr. Manuel Biadog Jr., NSANaples’ command chaplain. “Onedollar is equivalent to five pounds offood, so if we give 1,000 dollars thatis equivalent to 50,000 pounds offood and we have donated quite a lotin just the last two weeks.”Biadog Jr. said there is no govern-

ment-wide collection goal for 2013,but every donation big or small willbe significant in the lives of thosefamilies in need. Since the campaignbegan in 2009, participants havedonated and collected 15.2 millionpounds of food and other non-perish-able items.“I just wanted to give back when I

saw the impact it made last year andall the people who came together tomake it happen,” said ReligiousPrograms Specialist 2nd Class JacobMiller, assigned to NSA Naples. “Iknew I wanted to be a part of it espe-cially since the program reflects thegoodwill and appreciation that wehave for our host nation.”According to the food drive’s official

website, Defense Departmentemployees worldwide have beenasked to step up to meet this chal-lenge by pledging to “participate andmake a difference!” In his memo,Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B.Carter expressed his support of thecampaign and encouraged the work-force to donate non-perishable fooditems to their offices through Augustfor distribution to local food banks.“The Navy is all about doing some-

thing good for our neighbors; we aretrying to help out people in our localcommunity who are less fortunate

“It’s all about helping and theNavy projecting goodwill,” saidBiadog. “It is our culture in America,we are a giving nation.In addition to nonperishable goods,

A Paradise Discovered: The Island of Zakynthos

A look down upon a shipwreck on Zakynthos. (Photo by Oscar Pullido)

The Greek islands are a popularvacation spot for thousands ofEuropean tourists every year. Yet ifCorfu, Santorini, Crete and Rhodesare some of the most well knownvacations hubs in the Ionian Sea,the USO “discovered” the unconta-minated, paradise island ofZakynhthos. What is most captivating about

Zakynthos, are the quiet mountainroads leading to the secludedbeaches nestled in between thesharp-edged rocks. During our tripwe could not resist the temptationto take a boat ride and go turtlespotting in the bay, take advantageof the water sports, admire thebeautiful sceneries and of course,savor the delicious Greek special-ties. Unlike other tourist meccas, the

island had delivered what the bodyand soul truly needed; relaxation.Getting away from traffic, ringingmobile phones, and television wasas refreshing as a dive in the bluewaters of its bays.Needless to say, the community

members that joined the USO thisyear on a weeklong getaway toZakynthos said they loved everyminute on the island. Visitwww.uso.it for more information ontour opportunities.

Moran takes helmof a command that has an operating budget of$29 billion and a staff of more than 26,000Sailors and civilians that perform a widevariety of missions, including managing Navymanpower, readiness, education and training,and professional development of Sailors.

Q- What are your expectations? What doyou hope to be able to do during yourtenure as Chief of Naval Personnel?

A- Well, I've thought about it a lot cominginto the job. Principally, having come fromthe resource sponsorship over in directorof air warfare and watching the challengesthat we are going to be faced with in theDepartment of Defense and Department ofthe Navy going forward, the fiscal chal-lenges ahead of us are going to be prettydifficult to deal with. So, any time you've got that kind of fiscalpressure on an organization, there's likelyto be a lot of change, and there's likely tobe a lot of pressure to reduce force struc-ture, potentially reduce the number offolks we have in the Navy, and that createsa sense of uncertainty throughout thefleet. So my goal, hopefully at the end of mytenure here, is that we've been able tomanage that in such a way that there isless uncertainty for Sailors and their fam-ilies and the workforce. And we're able tofind the right balance for the fleet so thatthey continue to operate forward, as Adm.Greenert [Chief of Naval Operations] talksabout, we continue to put warfighters onthe front lines, and that we are ready to gooperate in any environment when calledupon. And I think the Navy, in this envi-ronment, is going to be called upon moreand more because coming out ofAfghanistan and coming out of Iraq,there's a great sense that someone still hasto be forward, keeping watch, being outthere ready to protect the nation's inter-ests, and I think the Navy's going to be aprincipal force in that. You know, it's a long-winded answer tobasically saying a lot of change is coming,potentially, a lot of change, a lot of pres-sure and a lot of uncertainty. So if I canhelp reduce that uncertainty, and give

some stability and balance to the force, Ithink we'll have a successful time here.

Q-You mentioned a lot about uncertain-ty. What are some of the things thatyou can do in your position to quellsome of that uncertainty in the fleetand give a little reassurance to thefleet?

A- It's going to take me a little bit of time andgoing out and talking to the fleet first. Ireally have to understand what's on theirminds, what are they reading, what dothey believe is the future from their per-spective? I have my own perspective as aresource sponsor, but I've been locked upin the Pentagon for three years, and Ihaven't had the opportunity to get out andlisten to the Sailors ... and folks that areoperating forward. So I look forward todoing that. And once I get that sense fromthem, I think I'll be able to get back hereand talk to the N1 and the personnel work-force that is trying to set the right policies,set the right tone, so that they have confi-dence in our decision making about thefuture. So it's too early for me to say, "Ihave the following things I'm going to do tocreate certainty." I need to get out to thefleet and really understand where theyfeel there's an uncertainty in the future.

Q- Can you tell me about your three "keywords?"

A- I think they are words that resonate witheverybody. Trust is one. I think if you're inthe detailing business, or in the personnelbusiness, often times, you don't feel likeyour constituents, the fleet, trusts youbecause there are many policies that comeout and they seem counterintuitive, andsometimes they counter each other, and sopeople aren't real sure where you're tryingto go. I think that if we're going to be trust-ed by the fleet - and we have to be - we'vegot to get out and we've got to talk to them.We've got to understand what their con-cerns are, and we've got to show themthrough our actions and our policies, thatwe understand what is important to them,and what's important to the CNO, theSecretary, and the institution. And as longas we are doing that well, openly, andtransparently, I think we'll earn theirtrust over time.

Q- And what about balance?A- Balance is a lot of what you're seeing today

when we're talking about fit fill. There is a

From Defense Media Activity

Chief of Naval Personnellot of discussion in the fleet about, "Do wehave the right fit for the type of Sailor withthe right NEC, and the right experiencelevels at different places ... operating in thefleet?" And then there's the fill - I just needa body to be able to do certain types ofwork. Admiral Gortney [Commander, U.S.Fleet Forces Command] and his team arereally driving us to try to satisfy thedemand signal for the right Sailor at theright place at the right time, and there's abalance to that because you can take all theSailors you have at shore and put them tosea, and fill out the gaps that currentlyexist at sea, but then you leave big holes,potentially, in the shore establishmentsthat train the Sailors that are going to sea.We've got to balance the sea and the shorepiece correctly. We've got to balance theright training to effectively get the Sailorwe want in a particular billet that istrained to the highest degree possible,given the time constraints, and makingsure the ships and aircraft squadrons andsubmarines deploy with the right people.

Q- So, it takes a combination of trust andbalance to reach the stability we'relooking for?

A- Yes, stability takes a lot of meaning, butyou're right. It is a combination. If we findthe right balance and we achieve the trust,then there is a stabilizing influence in thelives of Sailors and their families becausethey are not guessing what's coming next.In this environment, where a lot of changecould occur, that stability is going to comein the form of making sure that we don'tchange policies just for change's sake. Thatwe find the right policies that are going togive that balance and trust back to theSailors in a way that gives them ... agreater sense of certainty. And I thinkinherent in that is the stability that comesfrom smart policies and smart manning inthe fleet.

Q- What are the sorts of things, at thisstage, do you imagine are going tokeep you up at night?

A- You know, nothing really stresses me outon the job. It is a big job, you're right. I amjust beginning to understand the breadthand depth involved in the N1 organization.We're obviously split between Washington,D.C., and another major hub, Millington,[Tennessee], where the primary workforcethat interfaces with the fleet exists. Sothat's a big piece. The time-distance issuefor the organization is important. Andthen, of course, the rest of our domainincludes Great Lakes and all the recruiting

districts around the country, and a varietyof other smaller organizations. So there's alot going on that, frankly, after one week,I'm just beginning to understand. So it'sgoing to take a little time. I think what keeps me up at night is think-ing about how we're going to manage theforce if we are asked to get smaller, andmaking sure that manning does notbecome the first thing we give up in thisgive-and-take over the amount of moneythat we are going to have to account for inthe budget. So, manning is a fundableasset, in the sense that it's a lot easier tocarve out, or harvest cash to pay bills withmanpower than it is [with] ships and air-planes and submarines, because of all theintricacies in building platforms. My job isto protect that manning, so we don't inad-vertently cut the manning to the pointwhere the force of the fleet is not well-served, and we have an issue with theappropriate level of manning at sea. Thatis probably the biggest challenge - just try-ing to ensure that we get the right man-ning for whatever size force comes in thefuture.

Q- What can Sailors do at their level do tohelp you support them?

A- My intent is to get out a lot and talk to thefleet and to have a conversation withSailors. That is the most important thing.Their direct feedback to me is really impor-tant as I bring that information back to myorganization here in the N1 CNP. I obvious-ly appreciate and observe the chain of com-mand, but being out and about and listen-ing and watching Sailors operate in the fleetand seeing what their concerns are will onlywork if they are willing to have a conversa-tion and ask me questions and give me feed-back on what they think is working, andwhat they think is not working.

Q- What is your message to the Sailors inthe fleet?

A- You've got a great organization up here thatunderstands the interest of Sailors, fami-lies, civilians, and retirees - that we are try-ing very hard to stay on top of a changingenvironment and be responsive enough tomake sure that we're anticipating theissues that are going to face us in a verytough, challenging fiscal environment in thefuture. We have your best interest at heartand we're going to work hard for Sailors andfamilies to make sure that they understandwhatever changes are being made, theyunderstand the reasoning and the rationalebehind them, but that also we're here fight-ing for them every single day.

Religious Ministries’ Notes from Beyond

A Lost TripI’ve had better days. I’ve been running pro-

grams with teens for more than a decade now.Eventually I’d hit an “off day,” you know, apaper doesn’t get turned in on time, the amountof kids you were planning on don’t show up,plans don’t pan out as expected, or the difficul-ty of necessary corrective discipline. However,I’d have to say my past trip has to rank up therein the list of infamous “Lost Trips.” The day started off late, and got worse due to

part of our group getting lost on their way tothe water park. Our late arrival by at least 30minutes, caused parents who were alreadywaiting for us at the park some discomfort.Upon our arrival the credit card we were sup-posed to use for the students’ entrance fee wasdeclined… over and over again. Needless to sayI had to come up with an alternative way ofpaying. For this particular trip we had pur-chased one of my favorite waterproof camerasto document the great time we would have play-ing and splashing in the water. Half waythrough the day our students lost this camera.Let me say that last part again, this particularcamera, which was key in documenting ourClub Beyond Naples trips was gone, lost, van-ished. Lost finding this place, lost time, lost money

and lost camera for our program; the one thingthat wasn’t lost was grace. In spite of it all, Iwas surprised I was not upset with my stu-dents. Don’t get me wrong – I was annoyed,frustrated, and disappointed. I didn’t ignore thesituation. I mean we talked, and we did our duediligence to talk to the park authorities in orderto increase our chances of finding this camera.

Nonetheless, and again surprisingly so, I wasnot upset with my students. The sad part is that reflecting upon this trip I

was struck with the thought of my own chil-dren. Given the same circumstances, would Ihave reacted the same with my own children asI did with my students? The honest answer isno. For some reason it is way easier to be fun-nier, flexible and forgiving with others thanwith my own household. The reality, however, isthat my program kids are not my permanentkids. My program kids are transient, and afterthey leave they too will be “lost kids” as far asmy Club Beyond Naples program is concern. The only kids that will never ever be lost are

my own kids, and in your case your own kids. Iam not suggesting we need to be jerks witheveryone, except our kids. Rather, let us be gra-cious and forgiving towards everybody we can,especially to those closest to us, our own familymembers. It would be very sad if every studentremembers me as a good/fun guy, while my ownkids only see a super busy guy who sits in frontof his computer all day long at home. Yeah,that’s a pretty lame story. Let us run our programs with excellence and

integrity. Our character and drive should not bedisplayed only “at work” but at life in general.Let us not lose those who are closest to us forthe sake of others.

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other thanan active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit withineight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approvalfor 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 SojournerPermit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area.
