Service members, distin-guished guests and other com-munity members gathered atNaval Support Activity (NSA)Naples for a Battle of Midwaycommemoration ceremony, June4, in honor of those who lost theirlives during the significant bat-tle.The ceremony, which included a

wreath laying and a speech fromCapt. Scott Gray, commanding

officer of NSA Naples, markedthe 71st anniversary of one of themost prominent naval battles ofWorld War II, which created ashift of power between theJapanese and U.S. naval forces.“The Battle of Midway is con-

sidered the very paradigm of thespectacular reversal of militaryforce by a weaker force,” saidGray. “The Midway victory was apivot point; it placed the UnitedStates in a position to check thegrowth of Japan in the Pacific.”Nearly six months after the

attack on Pearl Harbor, a small

fleet of U.S. forces defendedagainst and defeated four carri-ers of the Japanese navy duringthe Battle of Midway, whichissued the Japanese one of theirmost prominent losses in navalhistory.“Though the Japanese force

was on the move, though it hadthe momentum, American forceshad what mattered most, selflesswarriors of character andcourage,” said Gray. “These weredesperate times for our countryand they stepped up and steeledtheir resolve.”

Through memorial and com-memoration ceremonies we canremember those throughout his-tory who gave their lives throughselfless acts of honor, fidelity andintegrity that have shaped ournation.“This celebration is important

to make sure that we alwaysremember where we came from,those who came before us, and tohonor their memory and keeptrack of the significant eventsthat make us who we are today,”said Cmdr. Robert Barbee, exec-utive officer of NSA Naples.

Base Notes•• ••

With the school yeardrawing to a close, Iwant to start byexpressing my appre-ciation to our teach-ers, school staff,coaches, engaged par-ents, volunteers – allthose who had a rolein educating our chil-dren. I also want tothank my securitypersonnel for helpingstudents safely crossthe main roads nearthe school complexeach day. It takes anentire community to foster a positive learning environ-ment, and I’m grateful for the commitment that wasdemonstrated this year.Parents have exciting opportunities to continue theirchild’s education in the coming weeks. The Support Sitelibrary will begin a summer reading program June 24.Children who participate will take part in fun activitiesand be able to earn a great prize for every book log theycomplete. Studies show that a summer reading planhelps students become better writers and spellers. Also,there’s the opportunity for parents to educate their chil-dren through travel. We live in the heart of an incrediblelearning environment. Popular historical sights and richculture surround Naples. If you haven’t already, takeyour kids to Pompeii, the amphitheater in Pozzuoli, andRome. These places are literally within driving distanceor ITT and the USO frequently offer guided daylong trips.An important thing to do before hitting the road orcatching your flight is to secure your homes properly. Wetypically see a spike in the number of burglaries reportedby off-base residents during peak traveling periods. Thereis no indication that U.S. personnel are targeted specifi-cally, but burglars know that all families go on extendedtrips during the summer. Reports show that most burgla-ries occur when home alarms are not activated or unitsare not properly secured. So please take proper precau-tions to protect your property and valuables. Everyoneshould enjoy time traveling with family and friends, justplease keep safety in mind when planning your trips. Anddon’t forget to schedule adequate time for rest.The Housing Office has been very busy this year plan-ning improvements to Support Site facilities. A contractwas recently awarded to replace the remaining sun-shades at all Support Site housing units. You may havealready seen some of the nice, new tan colored awningson some apartments. A contractor will begin installingthe awnings in the near future and work is projected tobe completed by the end of the year. We have also con-tracted for significant upgrades to most of the play-grounds on the Support Site as well. Again, work shouldbe completed by year’s end. Lastly, Housing is evaluatinga proposal to upgrade the skateboard park. At Capodichino, we were able to acquire some funding tomake additional improvements to the Capo pool this sum-mer. We will be replacing the old sound panels around thepool, finishing the training room and installing a gatethat will allow us to better secure the facility for safetyreasons. Finally, we are exploring other improvements sostand by for future updates. Lots of improvements are inthe works to maintain a great quality of life for our serv-ice members and families here in Naples. Remember, we have entered the “100 days of Summer,”so please be mindful of the risks as you go out and about.Stay safe and enjoy all that Italy has to offer!

we would say. In the Naplesdowntown shopping area, crowdsof onlookers and passers-bystopped in front of a posted signasking for sponsors to repair thepotholes.

It is also aresult of the exasperation of localbusinesses and residents.

More than20 people, including four preg-nant women, were suspected ofselling drugs to teenagers inside agarden opposite the entrance ofthe palace. Lately, the palace hasbeen on local and internationalnewspapers when a family wasnearly struck by a piece of thebuilding’s ledge that fell to theground. A few days earlier a pieceof a façade’s tympanum fell into asquare.

The culture ministry said allstructures around entrances tothe palace would be secured inorder to protect the thousands ofdaily visitors. The Royal Palacehas been a World Heritage Sitesince 1997.

tists agreed on the theory, argu-ing the Neanderthals werealready extinct before the erup-tion. Some questioned howHomosapiens survived.

FFSC Tip of the Week: VA AppointmentsAvailable for Local VeteransFrom the Fleet and Family Support Center

The stories are out there. Talented Sailors sent homebecause they had been denied approval to reenlist. Whileattempting to balance the force, foundations for Sailorsacross the Navy were being rocked to their core. Now that some of the smoke has cleared, the glasses are

being readjusted to focus on the way ahead. Step one - dismantling Perform to Serve.Through the Navy's newest career management pro-

gram, Career Navigator launched June 3, a new reenlist-ment process more advantageous for Sailors has been cre-ated. Under this new program, all eligible and command-

approved E-6 Sailors will be approved for reenlistment ontheir first application. While there is still a need to tell thecareer counselor of Sailors' intentions, if they desire toreenlist and have command approval to do so, they will begiven reenlistment approval on their first application. For eligible Sailors E-5 and below in skillsets or ratings

that are open (formerly known as under-manned), 100percent will receive approval to reenlist on their firstapplication. E-5 and below Sailors in skillsets or ratings that are bal-

anced or competitive (traditionally over-manned), or thathave special requirements such as the nuclear communi-ty, will receive information sooner about their ability toreenlist in rate, to convert to a different rate, or to transi-tion to the Reserve Component. Many of these Sailors willalso receive approval to reenlist on their first applicationdepending on the manning in their year group.Chief of Naval Personnel officials say they will update

the manning status of every rating every two weeks togive Sailors an accurate view of where they stand in theCareer Navigator system.With superstar Sailors being shown the door after con-

sistent superior performance, many will be happy to seethe reenlistment process evolve into something that isactually based on performance and left up to the commandfor approval for approximately 75 percent of the force"We have changed the criteria," said Fleet Master Chief

April Beldo, fleet master chief for Manpower, Personnel,Training and Education. "It is based on rank ... perform-ance evaluations and critical NECs, so that has definitelychanged from the algorithm that we used to use."Some Sailors in the fleet are weary that a push away

from PTS along with a final command-level approval formost will have negative consequences."The command already has a say on the member's PTS,"

said NCC Lailia Canlas, career counselor onboard USSGreen Bay (LPD 20). "This may open up room for biasthat cannot always be detected or controlled. By leavingthe decision to someone who is not from the same com-mand, the decision will be based on evaluations only,which is essentially a Sailor's resume. PTS holds Sailorsaccountable. The consequence of not performing wasclear. Not everyone should be a Sailor."The problem, said NCC Tim Hawkins, career counselor

for the Navy Information Operations CommandMaryland, is that people who should be Sailors werebeing denied reenlistment opportunities."If this new program will allow Sailors to be judged on

their performance, and if COs aren't afraid to kick out aSailor who is not performing, then I'm for it," saidHawkins. "Command approval was always needed, andthere is a solid check list commands used to accuratelydetermine a Sailor's eligibility. So as long as commandcareer counselors are doing their jobs, this should be aneasy transition.However, Navy officials say the PTS program was a nec-

essary tool that served a purpose during a time of

extremely high retention and low attrition."Because of that we had 35 over-manned ratings that

represented over 6,000 Sailors," said Beldo. "And PTSwas the avenue that the Navy chose to utilize to get theforce back into balance.... We now see our advancement atan all-time high. We are also now able to manage our rat-ings with the right skillsets for the right job with the rightrequirements."Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) 2nd Class Jasmine

Loran, with Navy Information Operations CommandTexas, who has been denied reenlistment under PTS, ishopeful for the change. "I'm in the 2008 year group, which has been completely

dependent on PTS for orders and retention," said Loran."I have seen phenomenal Sailors denied PTS [approval]because of the way the current system works. I was alsodenied on all three submissions despite having good evals,no PRT failures, and promoting early. Though I'm notsure a CO could be completely objective when it comes toapproving or denying a request, I do think having a morelocal system would be extremely beneficial. I love theNavy and I wish I could have stayed. I just joined in thewrong year apparently."Sailors with a soft EAOS of July 2014 and after will be

the first to really be able to take advantage of this pro-gram. For Sailors who have an EAOS through June 2014,there is a small change affecting them, but they will stillbe using the old system. With a December 2013 through June 2014 EAOS there

will be no change. The member is already in the applica-tion window and will continue the legacy process.However, the new business rules of screening Sailorsbased on Sailors screened using rank, evals, and criticalNECs will be used instead of using the current PTS algo-rithm of rank, evals, critical NECs, PFA, and months tosoft EAOS.With this new design, which Sailors with a soft EAOS of

July 2014 or after will truly be able to take advantage of,approximately 75 percent of Sailors requesting reenlist-ment will receive approval on their first application andall Sailors will know at least 10 months from the end oftheir contract whether they will be able to reenlist in theircurrent rate. Sailors not approved to reenlist in rate willhave additional time to apply to convert into another rat-ing where opportunity exists.All Sailors will have to indicate their intention to reen-

list or separate with their career counselor 13 months inadvance of the end of their enlistment contract. Sailorscan still change their minds after this initial check-in.However, they should notify their career counselors assoon as possible regarding the change."Knowing Sailors' intentions is critical to accurately pre-

dicting how many Sailors we will have in each skillset, rateand pay grade going forward," said Beldo. "This ensures themaximum opportunity to reenlist in rate for those Sailorswho desire to stay, offers opportunities for Sailors to con-vert to a new rate or transition between "active/reserve"components, and improves advancement opportunity." Career Navigator will change how the Navy does busi-

ness - placing Sailors at the helm and allowing them tochoose their course between reenlistment, conversion, ortransition. They will have access to research careeroptions for themselves in order to make informed deci-sions based around available opportunities. "I'm very excited about where we are going with Career

Navigator. The program provides the Navy with tools tohelp better manage the professional development of ourSailors," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy MikeStevens. "I would remind chiefs to continue taking anactive role in assisting our Sailors and helping them stayinformed of the career opportunities and career choicesavailable."

LT NATALIE OAKESMeticulous and dedicated are two words that describe Lt. Natalie

Oakes. A native of New York, Oakes joined the Navy in November1999 and attended hospital corps “A” school at Great Lakes. She thencompleted her first Navy Medicine tour at Naval Hospital, CampLejeune. After earning her commission as a laboratory officer, Oakesreported for duty at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Va. in 2008.She arrived as department head for Laboratory at U.S. NavalHospital Naples in 2011.Oakes said she enjoys traveling Europe with her husband Jonathan

and their two daughters, Gabriella and Adriana. She enjoys cooking,hosting and entertaining guests. Oakes has developed a strong repu-tation within the Laboratory officer community and was recently rec-ognized by The Joint Commission for receiving zero laboratory dis-crepancies during the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples’ Joint Commissioninspection in March 2013.

Anybody who has performed energy surveys inwork spaces has heard these cries for help. Dueto differences in human metabolism, sometimespeople who sit right next to each other have the opposite com-plaint. NSA Naples has new energy efficiency standards that apply to

space temperatures: Cool to no lower than 80o Fahrenheit (26Celsius), and heat to no higher than 66o Fahrenheit (18Celsius). Since these are average temperature targets, differentrooms might have different temperatures, especially in olderbuildings with large areas and few thermostats. Navy stan-dards also exist for after hours, to adjust temperature set-pointsto provide less heat in the winter and less cooling in the sum-mer when the building is unoccupied.It can seem like opening windows should help if you’re too

warm, but it wastes energy when the heat or air conditioning isrunning. Your open window can confuse a thermostat that con-trols the heat supply to spaces that aren’t benefiting from youroutside air, and make it difficult to pinpoint the source of theirtemperature complaints. The best things you can do if you are too warm, or too cold, is

to dress in layers and let your supervisor and facility energymonitor know about your issues. Your building’s climate controlsystem may be in need of some attention, especially wheneveryone has the same complaint.

Logistics Specialist Seaman Sean Reinert and the crew of the guided-mis-sile destroyer USS Gravely (DDG 107) honored Reinert’s grandfather dur-ing a burial-at-sea ceremony, June 2.Lt. James Michael Reinert served honorably in the Navy from 1956-1959. “This is what my grandfather would have wanted,” said Reinert. “He was

very proud of me and my cousins for joining the Navy, because he was thetype of person who believed every man should serve his country.”Lt. Reinert’s three grandsons are currently serving in the military. Two of

them attend the United States Naval Academy and his oldest grandson,Logistics Specialist Seaman Sean Reinert, is a member of Gravely’s crew. Burials-at-sea are a long-standing tradition in the Navy, in which the

remains of service members and family members are committed to the seawhile the ship is underway. "Doing a burial at sea is an incredible honor," said Fire Controlman 2nd

Class Gregory Corder. "This man served his country honorably and hedeserves to have an equally honorable burial. It was my privilege to be apart of giving this final act of respect for those who made the choice toserve their country."During the ceremony, the church pennant was raised and the ensign was

lowered to half mast. "If the Sailors who have gone before us had never served, we wouldn't be

able to do what we do today," said Sonar Technician Surface 2nd ClassAriane Burrow, flag bearer for the ceremony. "I am honored to be able toserve them today. There's a special connection between all of us who serve.”The ceremony concluded with the remains laid to rest as the crew paused

for the playing of “Taps.”Gravely, homeported in Norfolk, Va., is on a scheduled deployment sup-

porting maritime security operations and theater security cooperationefforts in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

Frutti di mare e pesce/ Seafood and fish

By Franco Veltri, Naples NATO Yacht Club

Eight crews from nine nations competed at Nisida,Italy, May 26, for the first international sailing tro-phy of 2013. At the end of three races, the Italian team scored

the best cumulative results. The same day, six flagofficers competed for the Naples NATO Yacht Club(NNYC) Admirals' Cup, which Brig. Gen. LuisMeléndez Pasquín, Spanish Marines won.Notwithstanding the challenge posed by gustingwinds and occasional showers, the traditional OpenDay of the NNYC was attended by a crowd of sup-porters and successfully marked the beginning ofthe sailing season. Adm. Bruce W. Clingan, commander of U.S. Naval

Forces Europe-Africa, commander of Allied JointForce Command Naples, presented the winners withtheir trophy."The opening day of the sailing season for the

Naples NATO Yacht Club is a wonderful opportuni-ty that brings families and friends together for a day

on the peer,” said Clingan. He said the series ofraces also help to build esprit de corps throughoutthe community. All nations represented at NATO Naples head-

quarters were invited to compete and in the inter-national regatta. Canada, Croatia, France,Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the U.K. and U.S.all participated. At the end of three series of races sailed in the

club’s 4.5 meter Bosun dinghies. Italy was followedin the final ranking by the joint Croatia/Portugalcrew and by Spain. The winning crew comprised ofPaolo Valzea and Maurizio Marletta.Led by Brig. Gen. Alfonso Candia, the NNYC is the

only sailing facility available to the NATO commu-nity in Naples. Its principal aim is to encourage thesport of sailing through various recreational initia-tives. The club maintains a flotilla of small boatsand sailboats, and organizes training activities andregattas. Sailing courses will begin in the comingweeks. You can learn more about the club atwww.nnyc.it.

Over Memorial Day weekend, I went with my par-ents and little brother to visit the city of Catania.Catania is the second largest city on the island ofSicily and it lies under the largest active volcano inEurope, Mount Etna.Catania (or Katane') was the second Greek colony

on the island of Sicily, the first was in Giardini Naxos.In between major eruptions in 1669 and earthquakesin 1693, Catania was destroyed several times. Butafter 1693, Catania was rebuilt in a Baroque style bythe architect Giovan Battista Vaccarini. The symbol of Catania is an elephant called "ULiotru" in Sicilian. The origins of this elephant arevery mysterious, but the sculpture is made from blacklava rock and he has an Egyptian obelisk on his back.Legend says that this elephant is a talisman withmagic properties and that along with Saint Agatha itprotects the city from Mount Etna. Catania is also famous for a beautiful opera housecalled Teatro Bellini dedicated to a musician namedVincenzo Bellini, the author of "La Norma". LaNorma is also my favorite kind of pizza, which haseggplant and ricotta cheese. There is a lot to see anddo in Catania, and I always get a big cannoli everytime I'm in Sicilia. They make the best cannolis inItaly!
