JFC Naples Takes LessonsFrom Past Battlegrounds

The Navy will relax thebody weight standards in itsphysical fitness assessmentbeginning next year, as itmoves away from whatservice leaders say is toonarrow a gauge of healthand physical ability.New rules, which were an-

nounced Monday and set totake effect in January willresult in more Sailors’ pass-ing the body compositionportion of the physical fit-ness assessment, or PFA,and participating in the ex-ercise portion of the assess-ment, Navy officials said.Current rules prohibit any-one who fails the body com-position portion frommoving on to the exercisetest.The new rules add a sin-

gle-step abdominal meas-urement for those who don’tmeet the Navy’s maximumweight allowances byheight, and they raise bodyfat limits to a maximum 26percent for men and 35 per-cent for women, followingDepartment of Defensestandards. They also reducethe number of permittedfailures to two in threeyears from three in four.Navy officials said the

changes are the first step inthe Navy’s move away froman emphasis on body sizeand toward strengtheningthe exercise test, known asthe physical readiness test,or PRT.“I want them taking

Congratulations to our all ofour Naples-area Chief PettyOfficer selectees who were se-lected because of their out-standing performance andtheir demonstrated ability tolead Sailors. These excep-tional Sailors are now begin-ning their transition, and onSeptember 16th they will be-come an integral part of thechief mess and the commandstructure. It’s well-earned andwell-deserved! This is an exciting time of year for the Navyand you’ll see our Naples area Chiefs out in force trainingour newest leaders. The transition from E-6 to E-7 is a his-toric tradition unique to the Navy, and we’re a better forcefor it. Bravo Zulu!Just this week, the Navy updated the standards for the

physical fitness assessment, which includes significant andbeneficial changes to the body composition assessment. It’sputting a temporary hold on administrative action for fail-ures as we integrate the updates and move toward a year-long culture of fitness instead of our current method ofsemi-annual testing. I encourage all Sailors to look over themessage and talk with your command fitness leaders if youhave questions. During the recent all-hands command PT atCentral Park, I relayed my three goals on fitness. First, wemust meet the standards set for us – at a minimum. Second,we aim to build a culture of fitness into our daily work andpersonal lives. Third, and potentially most important forlong-term success, is to incorporate fun into our physicallyactivities. Exercise can and should be enjoyable. Whetheryou’re out in Central Park with your division, playing pick-up basketball during lunch or gathering for some ultimateFrisbee weekly on the Support Site, have fun and build upthat fit lifestyle! My favorite event of the year is approach-ing; the annual MWR sponsored MUD RUN! I encourageeveryone, military and civilian to join me at Carney Park onAugust 29th for a great event.Besides traveling with the family and enjoying programs at

the teen center, our kids are on base having fun and playingoutside during their summer school break. When our kidsand their parents go into any of the 22 playgrounds we haveon Support Site, they shouldn’t be concerned with pets or petdroppings. Please follow the rules posted at each play-ground, which includes not taking your pets into a play-ground. This is part of our base pet policy, but it’s also ahealth and safety issue. We have a fantastic dog park onSupport Site where our four-legged companions can be takenoff their leashes and let free to run wild. I ask that commu-nity members help spread the word and politely speak upwhen they see something not right.I want to close by touching on our DUI rate this year.

We’re in the double digits as a community and we may evenexceed last year’s total. I consider our community as one bigfamily, and we need to look out for each other, which in-cludes helping others to not make bad decisions. Our Tipsy Taxi service has been used a few times this yearand I thank everyone involved for knowing they had anotheroption when their previous plans were derailed. I also knowcommunity members who have stepped in or gone out oftheir way to give someone a ride when they had a little toomuch to drink. Getting behind on the wheel is never the op-tion and .05 percent BAC isn’t too hard to reach. Enjoy yourfree time, but know your limits, be safe and please continueto look out for one another.

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFSCOMPILED BY TERESA MEROLANSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

On August 14, 1945, Presi-dent Harry S. Truman an-nounced that Japan – afteratomic bombs were dropped onthe cities of Hiroshima andNagasaki a week earlier – hadsurrendered to the Allies.When news of the Japanese

surrender was announced,spontaneous, jubilant partieserupted around the world, justlike when news of Germany’ssurrender (VE Day) was an-nounced three months earlier. Two weeks later, on Sept. 2,

1945, a formal surrender cere-mony was held in Tokyo Bayaboard the battleship USSMissouri (BB-63).Japanese Emperor Hirohito

reluctantly made the difficultdecision to submit to the sternterms dictated by the Allies,with the exception that his so-vereignty would be maintai-ned.Hirohito really had no choice

but to capitulate: by mid-1945,Japan’s resources had becomeextremely limited and its abi-lity to wage war had been vir-tually annihilated. Cut offfrom raw materials by the de-struction of its merchant fleet,Japan’s factories could manu-facture little in the way ofweaponry. And the few shipsthat remained of the once-mi-ghty Japanese Imperial Navywere limited in what they

could do by lack of fuel, and itsonce-fearsome fleet of planesand experienced pilots were allbut destroyed.On the day Nagasaki was

bombed, the Soviet Union,whom the Japanese had hopedwould mediate a peace, decla-red war and launched an inva-sion of Manchuria.The Japanese knew that if

they didn’t quickly surrender,both the American fleet, whichwas quickly advancing fromthe east and the Soviet Army,which was marching from thewest, would soon be landingtroops on their shores.Japan’s Supreme War Coun-

cil, had no idea how manymore atomic bombs the Ameri-can military possessed andthey could no longer resistagainst the allies. If they did,they risked further destructionof their people, cities, portsand industry.Hirohito, who had never spo-

ken on radio, recorded an an-nouncement, which wasbroadcast to the nation. Al-though he never used the word“surrender,” his intent wasclear: “It is according to the dic-tates of time and fate that wehave resolved to pave the wayfor a grand peace for all the ge-nerations to come by enduringthe unendurable and sufferingwhat is unsufferable.”With that radio message,

World War II had finally cometo an end.

CNREURAFSWA Announces2015 Energy Biggest Loser

Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia(EURAFSWA) announced Naval Air Station(NAS) Sigonella as the winner of the 2015 En-ergy Biggest Loser (EBL) Competition August 4.The competition, which began July 1, com-

pared the energy use of the Region’s installa-tions during the month of July to theirhistorical usage of the same time period in pre-vious years. The winning installations werechosen based on the greatest percent reductionin electrical consumption from the previousyear. Having reduced their overall energy con-

sumption by 11.6 percent, NAS Sigonella hadthe greatest reduction and will receive the firstplace prize of $70,000 to use toward base im-provements. Navy Support Activity (NSA)Bahrain earned second place, having reducedusage by 8.3 percent, and NSA Souda Bayearned third place after reducing usage by 7.5percent. Second and third place “losers” will re-ceive $50,000 and $30,000 respectively.Commander EURAFSWA Rear Adm. John

Scorby, made the official announcement, offer-ing his congratulations to NAS Sigonella andall other participating installations.“Congratulations to NAS Sigonella for their

excellent resolve to reduce energy consumptionduring this year’s Energy Biggest Loser compe-tition,” Scorby said. “To all of you, thanks forhelping the Region reach an overall energy re-duction of 5.6 percent, exceeding our goal of a 5percent reduction. Bravo Zulu to everyone forall of the effort you and your teams put intothis event. We raised awareness through a va-riety of media outlets including some ex-tremely creative videos and posters. With yourleadership, energy is at the forefront of thecommunities’ minds.”This is the second year that Region EURAF-

SWA has held the “Energy Biggest Loser” com-petition among its installations. In addition tothe main competition, a poster and video con-test were also held in an effort to create aware-ness, provide education, and promote

individual actions personnel can take to helpbring down the costs of energy use ashore. Cur-rently, approximately 30 percent of installationexpenditures goes toward energy.Antonio Piluso, NAS Sigonella installation

energy manager, agreed with Scorby, addingenergy saving ideas and opportunities are usu-ally limited to the building energy monitors(BEMs) only.“The Energy Biggest Loser competition is im-

portant because it makes the energy savings abase-wide challenge; it broadens the audience,”he said. “It challenges everybody to try all theenergy savings opportunity ideas that are usu-ally in the pending list.”Daniel Lougen, Naval Facilities (NAVFAC)

EURAFSWA assistant regional engineer andregional energy manager, said that increase inawareness has extended beyond EURAFSWAto capture the attention of other regions in theNavy, and that in turn will affect the overallmission of the Navy.“Energy is critical to the Navy mission,”

Lougen said. “The ability to keep ships and air-craft on station and fighting ready is directlytied to how much energy is utilized. Ashore,every kilowatt hour that is saved makes usmore resilient and increases the support to thewarfighter.”The Energy Biggest Loser competition was in-

spired by the Navy’s ongoing energy conserva-tion initiative started in 2009 by Secretary ofthe Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus. The program,known as the Great Green Fleet, aims to re-duce the Department of the Navy’s consump-tion of energy, decrease its reliance on foreignsources of oil, and significantly increase its useof alternative energy. Energy bills are the sin-gle largest cost for Navy installations, reflect-ing about 28 percent of Navy’s shore budget.Reducing energy costs will help us reach theSECNAV’s energy goals.The EBL competition is a tool to help the

Navy increase energy security. The Region isopen to any ideas that may help improve theevent or other ways to increase energy conser-vation. Please provide any feedback you mayhave to [email protected].

SOUND OFF: WHAT’S IN YOUR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE KIT?

“It helps us understand our role muchbetter because the operational commandat Monte Cassino also had to lead a verycomplex campaign comparable to ourtasks (at JFC Naples).” The purpose was to understand the dif-

ferent national perspectives and drawmodern conclusions for JFC Naples. With the guidance of a specialized his-

torian, JFC Naples members visitedspecific locations including the GariRiver and the Abbey of Monte Cassino.Both locations were key landmarks ofthe Gustav Line, a fortification line heldby the German military. Monte Cassino was one of the first

joint, combined operations of the war. AsJFC Naples’s primary function is tocommand and control the NATO Re-sponse Force, the visiting membersgained perspective on the important re-lationship between strategic and tacticaloperations and discussed the effects ofdecisions made during the battle.The battle resulted in an estimated

75,000 casualties before the Alliesclaimed victory there. Members of JFCNaples laid wreaths at the Polish, Com-monwealth and German cemeteries inthe area to pay their respects to thosewho lost their lives in the war. Thecemeteries together have approximately25,000 fallen service members. “We honor them all today, their

courage and their character,” Adm.Mark Ferguson, Commander of JFCNaples, said, after the group visited thelast cemetery.


active. That’s going to improve ouroverall health at the end of the day.”The fitness assessment is held

twice annually. Last year, around5,000 Sailors failed at least one ofthe two cycles, according to theNavy, the majority because theydidn’t pass the body weight portion,known as the body composition as-sessment, or BCA. Only those whoexceed the Navy’s maximum weightallowances by height are currentlyrequired to “tape-in,” or have theirbody fat percentage calculated bymeasuring neck and abdomen cir-cumference.Current rules call for Sailors who

fail three physical fitness assess-ments in four years to be separatedfrom the Navy.As part of the new guidelines, the

Navy will erase all but one priorfailure from Sailor records in Janu-ary, and it will give those currentlybeing separated for fitness reasonsa chance to stay on, provided theypass an exercise test by Dec. 1 ofthis year.The service will also overlook body

composition failures in this year’sfall cycle, although it will require allmedically cleared Sailors to take theexercise test; failing the exercisetest will still result in failure of thefull physical fitness assessment.The new rules keep the same max-

imum weight allowances but add

the single-site abdominal measure-ment before the traditional taping.Male Sailors with an abdominal cir-cumference less than or equal to 39inches will pass the body composi-tion portion and move on to thephysical readiness test, as will fe-males with a measurement at orbelow 35.5 inches.Those who fail the abdominal

measurement will need their bodyfat composition calculated, usingthe current taping process measur-ing neck and abdomen circumfer-ence. Even with new body fatmaximums, Sailors must meet newlimits for their age range. Thosefalling outside their range butunder the maximum overall limitwill still pass but be enrolled intheir command’s fitness enhance-ment program, or FEP, as well asnutritional counseling.Anyone who fails the taping por-

tion will fail the full body composi-tion assessment and will still failthe full assessment. But under thenew rules they must participate inthe exercise test.The new rules also emphasize com-

mander spot checks, or quick as-sessments of a Sailor’s healthoutside the physical fitness assess-ment.“It’s not a punitive measure,”

Moran said in the video. “It shouldnever be taken that way. It’s moreof a way to say, ‘Hey shipmate, I’mworried about you, let’s go do the

test. If it shows we need to get youon a program to better health, thenlet’s do that.’”The new physical fitness assess-

ment guidelines are part of abroader effort by Navy SecretaryRay Mabus and service officials toemphasize a more holistic look athealth and wellness over strictmeasurements. In a June directive,Mabus asked the services to updatenutrition plans, increase access tobase gyms, perform fitness spotchecks and recognize those who ex-ceed fitness requirements.Navy officials have said the range

of body types across the servicemake assessing proper body compo-sition difficult. They’ve suggestedthe body composition assessmentmay be thrown out altogether in thefuture as other means of testinghealth become available, includingthe use of devices to measure sleepcycles, heart rate and blood pres-sure. The Navy is currently runningtrials of those devices and othertests throughout the fleet.Not all Sailors have welcomed talk

of changing the fitness assessment.Some say loosening body composi-tion requirements will have a nega-tive effect on the service.The exercise test may be strength-

ened in the future, officials say. Thephysical readiness test currentlyconsists of curl-ups, pushups and atimed 1.5-mile run or similar cardioactivity.

August is the eighth month in the year,and it is often called the “dog days of sum-mer.” Many people think that phrase refersto pet dogs, but that isn’t true. The starSirius – also known as the dog star – roseat the same time as sunrise during themonth of August in ancient Roman times.August was originally named Sextilis in

Latin, because it was the sixth month inthe original 10-month Roman calendar,which was created by Rome’s founder, Ro-mulus. Back then, March was the firstmonth of the year, but around 700 BC, Au-gust became the eighth month when Janu-ary and February were added to the yearby Numa Pompilius, who succeeded Romu-lus as the second king of Rome.Six centuries later, Julius Caesar added

two days when he created the Julian calen-dar in 45 BC giving Sextilis its modernlength of 31 days.In 8 BC, Sextilis was renamed in honor of

Augustus Caesar, (Julius Caesar’s grand-nephew). Augustus quickly rose to powerand became first emperor of the RomanEmpire. He renamed the month from Sex-tilis to August, to honor himself, becausehis greatest triumph – the conquest ofEgypt – occurred in August.Here are some other interesting events

that happened during the month of August.August is the last month of summer and

is generally considered to be one of thehottest months of the year. However, in thesouthern hemisphere (below the equator),August is the last month of winter, makingit the coldest month south of the Equator.August is the only month that doesn’t

have an official federal or nationally ob-served holiday.On Aug. 24, 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius

erupted, destroying nearby Pompeii,Stabiae and Herculaneum, killing thou-sands, including Fleet Commander of theRoman Navy Gaius Plinius Secundus –
