Service members and families sta-tioned at Naval Support Activity(NSA) Naples have worthy Italiantravel options such as Pompeii, TheIsle of Capri, Florence, Milan andVenice, but all roads lead to Rome.Rome, the eternal city, continuallyattracts tourists with its beautifullandmarks and architecture, muse-ums and the neighboring VaticanCity. For the serious traveler, see-ing all of the Roman sites within aday is impossible because of thevast quantity of historical siteslocated within the city. I’ve selectedsome of my favorite locations toshare based upon the architecturaltriumph, religious impact or thebrilliant artistic influence that isrecognized by the world. Careful planning is advised tovisit this city of nearly three millioninhabitants. Rome has a concentra-tion of holy sites, world famous artgalleries and historical museumsthat require multiple days to visit.Tours and reservations should bemade to create a personal andrelaxing experience. Many tourists visit Rome to makea holy pilgrimage. The city is locat-ed next to the Vatican City, which is

home to the St. Peter’s Basilica, theVatican Museum, and the famousSistine Chapel. Once inside theVatican, visitors should take timeto climb to the top of St. Peter’sCupola to enjoy a drink, buy a sou-venir and get a stunning view of theentire city of Rome. Anothernotable holy site is the Santa Mariadella Concezione dei Capucchini,the monastery of the Capuchinmonks located in Barberini.Visitors can tour their museum andsee the famous ossuary wheremonk’s remains are interred in anartistic fashion. Rome is not short of an artisticpresence. A block away from thetrain station is the PalazzoMassimo, the roman national muse-um which houses multiple floors ofancient artifacts including histori-cal coins, un-earthed mosaics,sculptures and a current exhibitdedicated to monsters of myth andlegend. The Borghese Museum andGalleria, located within the VillaBorghese, is a must stop for the artenthusiast, yet requires a one-month advance reservation. Thegallery houses masterful art piecessuch as Apollo and Daphne, Davidwith a Slingshot and paintings byRaphael.

a fun evening for the family. “We are trying to get over-all community involvement,show them all the outside

law enforcement agenciesthat Italy has to offer.” saidMaster-at-Arms 1st ClassSanders. “They will come on

base and show what theirspecialties are.”

I'd like to thank everyonewho came out to makeNational Night Out such asuccessful event. It provid-ed our community a chanceto come together and gainawareness of emergencymanagement, disasterresponse, safety, and securi-ty. The annual eventexpresses our support forall Security and emergencyservices personnel, as wellas our Italian law enforce-ment partners who workclosely with us in Naples and Caserta. The military workingdog demonstrations were very impressive, the Fire andRescue team tore open that SUV in record time, and I sawthe Italian EOD robot surprise quite a few people as itdemonstrated its flexibility and extraordinary gripping claw.Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with set up and run-ning the well-attended event. The goal of the National Nightout is to raise crime prevention awareness and boost neigh-borhood camaraderie, and I think we succeeded on bothfronts. Thank you.I hope you are taking advantage of the events, concerts,tours and trips available over the summer. There are twofree events tonight that I'd like to remind everyone about.The Missoula Children's Theater, working with Child andYouth Programs, was with us this week getting more than 60of our community children ready for a play tonight. They'llbe presenting “Hansel and Gretel” in the Naples High Schoolcafeteria at 6 p.m. We had our largest turnout ever forMonday's auditions so we'll take that into consideration andsee about getting more events like this. Also tonight,Flagship is performing! They are the U.S. Naval ForcesEurope Rock Band, and they'll be playing at Support SiteCentral Park from 7:30 to 9 p.m. for a concert under thestars. The events begin at 6 p.m. with food and beveragesales and a live DJ, so bring a chair or blanket and head onout. This week we found out we have a large group of chief pettyofficer selectees in our area. Congratulations to every one ofthem. There is no equivalent in our military. CPO 365 PhaseII has begun and will conclude with the chief's pinning cere-mony on September 16. Most Italians take vacation in August, so please considerthis when you're making plans. Sometimes this can be for afew weeks and sometimes it can seem like it lasts a bitlonger. Plan ahead because some services may be limited.There will be fewer workers in some offices around NSANaples. It's not only a local occurrence. If you are planningvacations throughout the rest of your summer, consider thatfewer people will be on the clock and expect traffic jams toand from beaches. Be safe and please enjoy your summertravel opportunities here.

We have come to the end of our BiggestLoser competition. Naval Support ActivityNaples was holding second place regionwide, but the final numbers are being gath-ered today. The most recent electrical read-ings showed we had reduced consumption by 10 percent. C4Iwas in the top spot for energy reduction in Naples with a 17percent reduction from last year’s readings. Unfortunately,some of our facilities saw an increase during the competition.The final readings for the Energy ‘Biggest Loser’ competitionwill be announced by the end of next week. Thank you toeveryone in Naples who did their part. Shutting down com-puter monitors, turning off lights and maintaining AC bound-aries definitely made a big dent in our energy reduction. We’llfind out next week which installation came away with the$50,000 prize money from Region.

In the event of an emergency or toreport a crime, please call theEmergency Dispatch Center at 081-568-4911 or 5911.

The U.S. Naval Forces EuropeProtocol Combo played a publicconcert in Mercogliano, August3rd.The Protocol Combo played the

concert as part of a communityrelations outreach program,sponsored by a suburb ofAvellino, The city of Mercogliano. The idea of bringing the

Protocol Combo to Mercoglianowas started by Lucia Sbreslia, aMercogliano city administrationmember who is in charge of edu-cation and culture.“My husband and I saw the

entire 6th Fleet band play tenyears ago in Pescasseroli,” saidSbreslia. “I enjoyed the showvery much because everyonewas so talented. We decided totry and call them here and itworked.”The Mayor of Mercogliano,

Massimiliano Carullo, attendedthe event and presented theleader and guitar player of theProtocol Combo, MusicianSecond Class Petty OfficerColin Greggs, a letter of appre-ciation and an art piece frommaster sculptor GiuseppeRubicco as a gift in thanks forthe combo coming to the city toplay.

Sailors or Americans some ofthese Italians have ever met,”said Greggs. “We are able to getout there meet people and real-ly put a face on to the Navymost people just don’t expect.”The five members of the

Protocol Combo played an hourand half of music on a prebuiltwooden stage in the center oftown. The first set started asthe sun began going down, withonly a single streetlamp lightingup the stage. They played aselection of music with a heavyfocus on jazz songs such as “L-O-V-E” by Nat King Cole and“The Saints Go Marching In,”which were played to the joy ofthe packed crowd.

“Our concerts are usually

pretty well received in Europeand especially in Italy,” saidGreggs. “Jazz was popular dur-ing World War II and ever sincethen their culture has developeda deep appreciation for jazz.” After the show ended many

members of the audience cameto the stage to ask questions,shake hands and try to takephotos with the band. Thebiggest question many of theband members received was,“are you coming back?” The U.S. Naval forces Europe

2014 NATIONAL NIGHT OUT

Naples CommunityHealth Awareness

The Naples Public HealthEvaluation (PHE) was an extensiveeffort to learn more about the poten-tial environmental health risks pres-ent in the Campania region of Italy.The Navy established health protec-tive policies based on the study’sfindings to protect the health of U.S.personnel and their families, whichincludes bottled water advisoriesand health protective lease clauses.The PHE found the potential

health risks for living off-base can bemitigated by following established risk-management actions.

The enduring health protection policies are as follows: • Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. person-nel living off base.

• Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas, basedon U.S. Navy and Italian environmental sampling data. Inthese zones, U.S. Navy personnel are not permitted to sign newrental home leases.

• Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE websiteand the U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board.

• Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses for pri-vate off-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service from aNavy-approved vendor.

– Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permittedwells. Landlords must disconnect all non-permitted wells andprovide proof of connection to the city water system or that thewell is permitted.

– Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holdingtanks every six months.

• The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designatedItalian public health officials.

Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy estab-lished health protective policies and took immediate action, whennecessary, to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their fami-lies. The risk management analysis determined that many of thehealth protective policies established during Phase I and Phase IIwill continue, as well as new policies implemented to ensure con-tinued health protection. The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets addressing

commonly asked questions and a detailed timeline of study com-ponents, are available through a link on the Naval SupportActivity Naples website: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have aconcern about your specific health risk and how the study relatesto you, please contact the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN:629-6299 or commercial: 081-811-6299.

ALL ROADS LEADTO ROME

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert visitedNaval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island along with Master ChiefPetty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens for an all-handscall and visits with Whidbey tenant commands Aug. 5."Enjoyed a great day learning at NAS Whidbey Island discussing

with Shipmates a majority of my focus areas, EM-Cyber, UnderseaDominance, and Unmanned Systems," said Greenert at the conclu-sion of his visit.Earlier today Greenert attended the 40th Naval Aviation

Electronic Warfare Symposium where he shared his thoughts with450 naval officers, government and industry specialists on the sig-nificance of the electromagnetic spectrum and ElectromagneticManeuver Warfare (EMMW).Greenert recounted his last visit to Whibey saying the number of

EA-18G Growlers have increased significantly from a year ago. Hetold the audience, NAS Whidbey is a vibrant upcoming base forsomething that is very important. This is a center of excellence forelectronic warfare, he said.Greenert described the importance of maneuvering in the electro-

magnetic environment and the need for control and awareness ashe outlined a strategy in his remarks.Following the event Greenert met with Electronic Attack and

Maritime Patrol community leaders at Whidbey and visited a num-ber of training facilities for a deeper discussion on other EM-spec-trum related topics, EMMW capabilities and future requirements.Additionally, Greenert joined up with his wife Darleen and

MCPON Stevens who were also visiting different facilities aroundthe base for a mass reenlistment and all-hands call. Speaking with500 Sailors, civilians and families from Whidbey's tenant com-mands they reenlisted 13 Sailors and answered questions aboutmanning at sea, sea pay, deployment lengths, benefits and leader-ship issues. During Greenert's initial remarks he emphasized Navy is in huge

demand around the world and the work Sailors are doing atWhidbey in the EMMW area is critically important. He told themthat what they are doing in Whidbey is a big deal and a big part ofthe Navy's future. After Greenert's remarks, both CNO and MCPON took questions

from the crowd. A petty officer serving as a victims advocate askedabout if sexual assault prevention in the Navy has gotten better.MCPON asked how she felt the Navy is doing, which she repliedthat the sailors she is around feel as though it's getting better over-all.Another Sailor asked that in a pinched budget environment are

we going to continue doing more with less and what is being doneto limit stress. Both CNO and MCPON said they are not looking tooverwork Sailors and that there is work being done to add more sta-bility to schedules and predictability, manning initiatives to reducegaps at sea and sea pay initiatives to compensate Silors for the hardwork they are doing. CNO said it will not happen over night but theNavy is working it.MCPON closed with laying out his 3 tips for Foundations to

Success. "If you work hard, stay out of trouble and are a good anddecent person, I can assure that you will be successful at what everyou do," he said.Greenert closed the event with asking Sailors to speak up and pro-

vide input to Reducing Administrative Distractions (RAD) so theNavy can be more efficient. He encouraged Sailors to log onto theRAD website and share thoughts and ideas on what administrativedistractions might be affecting their work environment. Sailors can provide unsolicited feedback or possible solutions by

establishing an account and logging onto the RAD website athttps://navyrad.ideascale.com.Both Greenert and Stevens will travel to Naval Station Kitsap-

Bangor and visit USS Stennis (CVN- 74) Wednesday. Sailors andthe public can watch CNO and MCPON LIVE Wednesday during anall-hands call at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, 2 p.m. EST athttp://navylive.dodlive.mil/2014/08/01/cno-all-hands-call-at-naval-base-kitsap/For more news from Chief of Naval Operations, visit

Boy or girl, when news of a pregnancyarrives, most parents are only hoping for ahealthy child. When Tristan was born, his par-ents could not have imagined the long roadthat lay ahead for their second son to get togood health. "He was born and we never really knew any-thing was wrong," said Electronics Technician1st Class Stephanie Harris, who was arecruiter in San Diego at the time and is nowa recruiter in Fairfax, Va. "We realized he hada protrusion coming from his stomach one timewhen he was one year old and we took him in.They started doing a whole bunch of testingand found that he had been born with thisreally rare and severe malformation of hisrenal and urinary system and needed severalsurgeries. That was when we started theenrollment process for the [Exceptional FamilyMember Program (EMFP)]."The EFMP is a quality of life program that ismandated for all Sailors who have familymembers with a chronic medical or education-al condition which requires special care andservices.The program was established in 1987 toensure that when a Sailor is in the process of apermanent change of station (PCS) to a newduty station, any special needs required for afamily member can be met at that new loca-tion. The Navy currently has over 17,000 fam-ily members enrolled in the program, which isbroken up into six categories depending on theneeds of each family member. "Enrollment into the EFMP means a medicalor educational need has been identified. Wewant to ensure current and future assign-ments can support those needs for a successfultour for both the service member and theirfamily," said Lt. Cmdr. Brent Dennis, the NavyProgram Manager for the EFMP. "Categoryone is for monitoring purposes. Category twopinpoints various overseas and remote loca-tions within the United States. Category threeis no overseas assignments because the familymember has a medical or educational needthat exceeds the availability of care. Categoryfour means we have to keep you close to amajor medical area within the continental U.S.(CONUS). Category five is treated like thehomestead program where the needs are spe-cialized and complex. In an effort to maintaina continuity of care the Sailor and family areplaced in a location that provides what thefamily needs, and the Navy tries to keep themthere. To meet the Sailor's career progressionneeds unaccompanied tours are always anoption no matter what category their familymember is assigned to. Category six is a tem-porary category used for short term medicalevaluation that requires enrollment for six totwelve months." Getting Tristan enrolled in the program camewith its own hardships. Significant paperworkwas needed by his parents and his doctors.That paperwork then needed to be sent up thechain for review."It was a little bit challenging," said Harris."It's a large stack of paperwork. As a result ofwhat we went through with Tristan, I becamethe EFMP coordinator at my commandbecause there are so many things I found outafterward. I didn't have an EFMP coordinator;I was really on my own when I enrolled him.There's a good amount of paperwork that youfill out and then you have to take it to yourdoctor or specialist. It's mostly done by them,which is actually the most challenging partbecause you have to follow up with them andsometimes before they can give any of thepaperwork back, they have to get it to theirlegal department and have the legal depart-ment review it because all of these healthcarefacilities and hospitals have different require-ments." Harris said once you're in a category like cat-egory three, it is just saying that you can't bestationed overseas. She said because of Tristan's particular con-dition, the types of doctors that our child needsare not close to every military base, so that'staken into consideration whenever we move.When a condition is identified by a member of

the healthcare or educational team, the familyis referred to the EFMP coordinators at thelocal medical treatment facility or fleet andfamily service centers, said Dennis. "The EFMP coordinators will assist the spon-sor and family members with the enrollmentprocess. The forms are reviewed to ensure theyare complete and then sent to a central screen-ing committee (CSC) for a category recommen-dation. The Navy currently has three screen-ing committees located at Naval MedicalCenter (NMC) Portsmouth, NMC San Diegoand U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka. Once the(PERS-456) get the CSC's review, a final cate-gory is assigned and that information is madeavailable for the Detailers," said Dennis. "Theenrollment process is much faster now that weare using the Navy Family Accountability andAssessment System (NFAAS). There are alsoautomated notifications to the sponsors andthe units to inform about enrollment and anycategory assignment and changes. The systemeven sends notifications to Sailors who need toupdate their EFMP status.""The challenges that we as detailers have, isfinding a billet that meets the category for themember," said Aviation Boatswain's MateHandling (ABH) 1st Class Ronnie Hubbard, anABH detailer.When it was time for the Harris' to move, onebig concern was what the quality of the carewas going to be for Tristan at their new dutystation."We've been so lucky when it comes to health-care," said Harris. Harris said when he was in San Diego, themilitary hospital did not have the types of doc-tors and surgeons that Tristan needed, so thedoctors referred him to Rady Children'sHospital."We were at a children's hospital, which wasan amazing, beautiful facility and that's wherehis surgeries and recoveries were and he gotreally amazing care there," said Harris. "Whenwe came here we found out that they actuallyhave pediatric nephrologists at Bethesda atWalter Reed and I was very anxious aboutthat. I did not think that we were going to getthe same level of care through the militarymedical center but it is amazing. It is absolute-ly amazing. The team of doctors they havethere are so great and so attentive.""Enrollment is mandatory to support thedetailing process," said Dennis. "The primarygoal is focused on the family member to ensuretheir medical and educational needs are met."The process does not end once a Sailor enrollstheir family member in EFMP. Continuedattention and follow-up is required.Once enrolled, everyone is assigned a casemanager who is there to assist the sponsorsand families with information about servicesand programs in the area. All enrolled need toget reevaluated every three years or twelvemonths prior to the next PCS. The case man-agers or local EFMP coordinators can assistthe family with the reevaluation process."It's intimidating when you look at the paper-work that you have to do to enroll in EFMPand I think a lot of Sailors are not enrollingtheir family members in EFMP, but it is worthit because if anything should happen and theytry to put in for something like a home tour,it's harder to substantiate their family's needsif they haven't already done that groundwork,"said Harris. "First and foremost, sponsors and familymembers need to get in contact with their localEFMP coordinator when they have been rec-ommended for enrollment," said Dennis. "Wehave EFMP coordinators and liaisons at thefleet and family service centers and all navalmedical treatment facilities. These folks knowthe program and they are there to help thesponsor and family members complete theenrollment paperwork. All units should assignan EFMP point of contact that can direct theservice member to their local EFMP coordina-tor. The EFMP point of contact is usuallysomeone in medical or it could be a careercounselor or the command master chief." For the Harris family, they understand thatwith their EFMP category the dream ordersoverseas are unlikely, but they are getting clos-er to their wish for a healthy child.

After graduatinghigh school in 1983, he attendedTexas Tech University where hegraduated in 1987 with a Bachelorof Art in social welfare. After 10years being employed with theState of Texas Willis joined theNavy in 1999. Having never beenout of the state of Texas, travelwas my primary reason for joiningthe Navy. My goal was to do myentire navy career oversees. I did-n’t quite make it, but I got close.During my 15 year navy career, Ihave been stationed in Naples,Italy (twice), Okinawa, Japan, andBahrain. A deployment onboardUSS Whidbey Island (LSD-41) alsoallowed me to see several locationsin the Mediterranean Sea andPersian Gulf. Being in the Navyaffords you with great opportuni-ties develop both professionallyand personally throughout yournaval career. Sports have alwaysbeen an important part of my life.Being in the Navy and stationedoverseas has given me the opportu-nity to coach sports which is something that I truly enjoy and would like to pursue afterthe Navy. My first job in the Navy was as an aerographer’s mate (weather observer). Ireally enjoyed learning about how weather works. It’s a fascinating science. In 2002, Icross rated into the religious program specialist rating. I have been stationed here at NSANaples since October 2012. I enjoy the diversity of the RP rating. RP’s are a “jack of alltrades” religious program specialist is one of the few ratings that also work in Marine andSea Bee units and is a combatant rating. As an RP, you can find yourself providing physi-cal security for a chaplain in a combat environment, setting up for worship services, coor-dinating COMREL events, managing the chaplain counseling schedule, ordering supplies,and taking care of numerous other administrative duties, etc (all in a day’s work). Ourprimary duty as a RP is to support chaplains. Being flexible and well-rounded profession-ally is essential. The Navy equips all of its Sailors to meet any challenge and to be suc-cessful.

Allied Joint Forces CommandNaples Hosts British Fete 2014

It takes a committee of volunteers dedicating months of planning,meeting and liaising. It takes a community with a collective selfless spir-it willing to sacrifice hours and days of free time. But most of all it takesbunting.Each year the British community tries to outdo itself to make that

year's Brit Fete, an annual event modeled after traditional summer gar-den parties that spread throughout communities of the United Kingdomduring the summer months, bigger and better than those in the past.This year "Brit Fete '14" was hosted at Joint Forces Command (JFC)Naples, Friday, May 9.Due to the substantial size and scope of the undertaking, particularly

liaising with Italian vendors, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR)and the British Forces school, a committee of volunteers is formed inJanuary to plan and oversee the Fete. Facilities, manpower, media andfinance are just a few of the areas represented by committee members,who meet each month to track progress and coordinate the event's prepa-ration."It sounds a reasonable request: 50 stalls in five months. You think,

'Well, yeah. That's quite achievable,'" said Chief Petty Officer TerryDawson, the British Fete 2014 Events Manager. "However, it's the band,it's all the other community stalls, liaising really closely with the schoolbecause the school has the health and safety aspect of the children toconsider, so it's lots and lots to consider there. It's just constantly liais-ing, liaising, liaising."The last week of April sees the actual building of the site, located at the

Integrated Community Facility (ICF) Villa Victoria on the schoolgrounds. Formerly the private residence of the Admiral of the AlliedMaritime Command (MC) Naples, which was deactivated in March 2013,the villa is now a communal site for the British Community and used formany of their events and celebrations. All work done to prepare for the Brit Fete, including the raising of the

tents and building of the stalls, is done by volunteers."Everything is done by wives, spouses, just people giving their time to

that one day," Dawson explained. "There's no pressed person, it's, 'Yeah,I'll give up my time.' We very much take that attitude to wherever weare. Even back in Britain, families would still be giving their time tothings like this."After five months of preparation and countless volunteer hours from

the British Community, Maj. Gen. Weighill announced to the crowd gath-ered on the green the official start to Brit Fete 2014.Students from the British Forces School commenced celebrations per-

forming two songs and an international dance. Afterward, as the NavalForces Europe Band settled into the first of their two 45-minute jazz ses-sions, those celebrating Friday's Fete were invited to enjoy the more than50 community and commercial stalls which provided everything fromdeals on new cars and beauty spa treatments, to local artisans profferinghand-made jewelry and original paintings. Food from local restaurants,a traditional barbeque prepared by members of the JFC Field Gun Crewand even a Pim's Cup stall provided repast for guests.For the children, MWR joined with Giostre Gonfiabili to create a Kidz

Zone where the British Forces children could enjoy inflatable rides, sumosuits, a climbing wall, and both a clown show and magician show.Members from the Royal British Marines also set up a Junior Iron Manobstacle course where kids could compete for the best completion time."The effort from families behind the service members that put into Brit

Fete is amazing, really," said Dawson. "What did strike me was all thereports I got back from the stalls, and the overwhelming generosity, par-ticularly supporting the Field Gun Team, supporting the church, sup-porting the school - the generosity was really strong this year."
