TODAY!

I n d e p e n d a n c e D a y C e l e b r a t i o nHola Team Rota,I hope you are all enjoying the first days of summer.

This is one of my favorite times of the year, as this week we celebrate the independence of our great Nation. I hope you were able to take part in the flag-raising ceremony held this morning in front of building one. Our Spanish hosts recognize the importance and value of this holiday and were gracious enough to allow us to fly our national symbol of freedom, democracy and hope. I look

forward to celebrating with you during this afternoon and evening’s Independence Fest 2011 on the grounds of La Plaza.

It is a unique opportunity for us to celebrate our country’s birthday here on foreign soil. But, even as we are here with our Spanish friends and neighbors, many of our fellow service members are also celebrating our Nation’s birthday far from home, and oftentimes in harm’s way. Whether on ships at sea, distant desert lands or hovering in aircraft high above dangerous locales, our team members are serving with honor and integrity, proudly wearing or flying their own Stars and Stripes. I’m not sure our forefathers would have imagined all these years later that today’s patriots would still be leading the charge with such enthusiasm and zeal as the original architects of our democracy did 235 years ago. But, you are doing it, and I thank you for that.

Please enjoy this holiday weekend, but as always, be safe and look out for one another.

Happy Birthday, U.S.A!

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force officials have temporarily halted most per-manent change of station moves and temporary duty assignments to Minot Air Force Base, N.D.

Flooding has forced many to evacuate the city of Minot, N.D., prompting the commanders of the 5th Bomb Wing and 91st Missile Wing to request a partial stop move-ment, said Col. David Slade, the Airman assignments director for the Air Force Personnel Center.

Some Airmen will proceed as ordered because mission needs require their support, he said.

"Those Airmen have been iden-tified in a specific list to the force support squadrons and the military personnel sections in the field, so those units will help inform Airmen who are authorized to continue to Minot," Slade added.

Airmen within the U.S. who are projected to move to Minot AFB, and those who have already

out-processed but who have not departed their current duty station, except those specifically authorized, must not leave, he said. Air Force civilians with orders to Minot AFB should not leave their losing base until further notice.

Airmen planning to take leave en route may depart their station, but cannot report to Minot AFB afterward if the stop movement is still in place, he said. In that event, they will be charged leave for the additional time.

The colonel said Airmen stationed overseas with June or July return dates and orders for Minot AFB who have not yet departed the overseas location have the following options:

-Those planning to take leave en route, but not in the Minot area, may proceed, with the understanding that if the stop movement order is still in place when their leave ends, they will not be allowed to proceed to the base, and additional leave will be charged against their leave account.

-Those who do not plan to take

leave en route must remain at their overseas station until the stop move-ment order is lifted.

-Those interested in voluntarily extending the overseas time may submit an extension request for consideration.

Military members who have already departed their permanent duty station will be contacted by the personnel section, Slade said. Those en route to Minot AFB who did not plan to take leave will be required to report to the nearest Air Force base military personnel flight, where they will be placed on tempo-rary duty hold.

Airmen and Air Force civilians with temporary duty orders to Minot AFB must get gaining unit approval to proceed before leaving their duty station, he said. Airmen whose temporary duty assignments are not approved must remain in place until further notice. All Minot AFB Air-men scheduled to return home from temporary duty or leave may do so.

MCPON Sends Independence Day Message

by mAsTer chief peTTy officer of The nAvy (mcpon)(ss/sw) rick d. wesT

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)(SS/SW) Rick D. West released an Independence Day message to the Fleet, June 27.

"Shipmates and Navy Families,For 235 years, our great nation has celebrated our

independence and reflected on those whose sacrifices continue to secure our nation's liberty. I am very proud of each and every one of you for the daily sacrifices that you and your families graciously make to keep America the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

As many of us take some much deserved time off to celebrate the Fourth of July, please keep in mind that many of our Sailors are deployed and can't be with their loved ones, but they do so in order that our fellow citizens can spend it with their families and friends.

I also urge that you keep safety in mind during your holiday celebrations. We have already lost ship-mates unnecessarily to motor vehicle accidents and recreational activities this year. We must look out for our Shipmates, families and friends as we take to the highways, waterways and our backyards. As you know, many people will be on the road - if you decide to drink, don't drive and have a plan to get home.

I'm honored to serve among you and I'm thankful for your continued dedication to our nation and our great Navy.

Stay focused; stay alert; stay safe; and happy Inde-pendence Day!

HOOYAH Warriors!Very Respectfully,MCPON"

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)(SS/SW) Rick D. West talks at an all-hands call at Navy Operational Support Center, Chattanooga, Tenn.

At home and at work, these tips for transporta-tion fuel efficiency can lead to big savings:

1) Get the junk out of the trunk - an extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can reduce your fuel efficiency by up to 2 percent.

2) Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer and save fuel. You can improve your gas mileage more than 3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the recommended pressure. You can usually find the tire pressure recommended for your vehicle on a sticker located inside the driver’s-side door jamb, the glove box or owner’s manual. If you need to carry a heavy load (see tip number one), look for a “heavy load” pressure recommendation in your owner’s manual.

3) Don’t start your car until you’re ready to move, and avoid long idles - idling engines waste gas. Limit car warm-ups in winter. Idling gets zero miles per gallon!

4) Avoid aggressive driving - speeding and rapid acceleration and braking can lower your gas mile-age by as much as 33 percent at highway speeds and 5 percent around town.

5) Car pooling and sharing travel makes a dif-ference. Reducing the number of vehicles on the road decreases congestion and reduces CO2 emis-sions, plus it can be a great way to make friends.

If you have any energy saving suggestions or just need some energy saving tips, contact the Base Energy Manager at 727-2603 or call the Energy Hotline at 727-1797.

Military Takes Top U.S. C o n f i d e n c e R a n k i n g s WASHINGTON, June 28, 2011 – Ameri-cans continue to express high confidence in the armed forces, with more than three-quarters of those surveyed in a recent Gallup poll reporting higher confidence in the military than in other national institu-tions for the 14th consecutive year.

Seventy-eight percent of the 1,020 respondents in the poll, taken earlier this month and released last week, reported high esteem for the military.

Forty-seven percent said they have a “great deal” of confidence in the mili-tary, the highest rating, and 31 percent reported “quite a lot” of confidence. That rating was 14 percent higher than for the second-ranking institution, small busi-ness, and 22 percent higher than for the third-ranking institution, the police.

Other organizations' rankings, in de-scending order of high confidence, were: organized religion, 48 percent; the medi-cal system, 39 percent; the U.S. Supreme Court, 37 percent; the presidency, 35 percent; the public schools, 34 percent; the criminal justice system, 28 percent; newspapers, 28 percent; television news, 27 percent; banks, 23 percent; organized labor, 21 percent; big business, 19 per-cent; and health maintenance organiza-tions, 19 percent. Congress received the lowest high-confidence ranking, at 12 percent.

The military has been the top-ranked national institution every year since 1998, and also from 1989 to 1996, Gallup of-ficials reported.

Confidence levels in most of the insti-tutions polled this year were below histori-

E-Leave Eases Leave Routing

With the barring of one of the Navy’s most popular uniform items, the command ball cap, Sailors are look-ing for a way to show their command's pride while in uniform.

The Commanding Officer of Naval Station Rota Spain Capt. Scott Kraverath and Command Master Chief David Twiford made the decision to give NAVSTA Rota personnel the option to wear the command patch on the Navy Working Uniform.

With approval of the commanding officer, the option to wear command patches is authorized with NWUs as stated in NAVADMIN 343/08.

“Right now we are making it an optional uniform

item with no plan of making it mandatory," said Twiford. “This could potentially be a morale-boosting decision.”

The patch isn't available for purchasing yet but once it is, NAVSTA Sailors can purchase and wear it on their NWUs.

“Right now I don't encourage members to go out and buy a command patch. The one that’s available now is for the flight suits. Once we get the patch, leader-ship will be informed to ensure the proper guidance is given to Sailors.

Review NAVADMIN 343/08 for additional informa-tion concerning the proper wear of the Navy Working Uniform.

cal averages, with the notable exception of the military. The 78 percent military confidence ranking for 2011 was 11 points above the historical average.

Public confidence in the military tends to run high when the United States is actively engaged in military operations, officials said, citing the all-time 85-percent high confidence ranking in early 1991 just after the first Persian Gulf War ended. Ratings have ranged between 69 percent and 82 percent over the last decade dur-ing U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, officials reported.

Another Gallup poll, also conducted earlier this month and released June 21, demonstrated that Americans consider the ground forces most essential to na-tional defense. Twenty-five percent of the 1,020 adults surveyed ranked the Army the most important service, up from 18 percent in 2001. The Marine Corps ranked second this year, at 24 percent, up from 14 percent in 2001.

Seventeen percent of respondents called the Air Force the most important service branch to national defense, com-pared to 42 percent in 2001; 11 percent cited the Navy, compared to 15 percent in 2001; and 3 percent cited Coast Guard, which was not included in the 2001 survey.

Forty-six percent of the respondents named the Marine Corps the most pres-tigious branch of the armed forces. The Army ranked second, at 22 percent; fol-lowed by the Air Force, at 15 percent; the Navy, at 8 percent; and the Coast Guard, at 2 percent.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. – With the summer travel season underway, Navy officials remind Sailors about the ease of using the electronic leave system.

“The best thing about E-leave is that you can track it easily,” said Personnel Specialist 1st Class Lacey Burns, career progression department, Navy Personnel Command. “I’ve had a lot of paper leave chits lost at previous commands, or had trouble finding out where they were in the approval process, and then had to route a new one. With E-leave, you don’t have to worry about any of that.”

E-Leave allows Sailors to electroni-cally submit leave requests through their chain-of-command for approval, replacing the traditional paper leave form, and has significantly reduced the timeframe for routing a leave request.

“It’s a much faster process,” said Personnel Specialist 2nd Class LeAnne Millious, full-time support and Selected Reserves conversion desk case worker, NPC. “I had to take emergency leave when a family member passed away and I was able to get the request routed in less than an hour through E-leave.”

As directed by NAVADMIN 252/10, shore commands and submarine forces began using E-Leave to process leave requests by Aug. 1 and Oct. 1, 2010, respectively.

For more information on E-Leave or using any of the NSIPS-related tools, read NAVADMIN 252/10, call the NSIPS help desk toll-free at (877) 589-5991, or e-mail [email protected]. Sailors can also call NPC’s Customer Service Center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC.

Naval Station Rota isn’t the booming Navy base it was in the 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t the final destina-tion for too many travelers, but if you looked at the operations tempo on the airfield, you might think it is.

Air Operations Department serves all aircraft landing on the airfield. Operating 24-hours a day and composed of all U.S. military branches and Spanish nationals, ‘air ops’ provides signature services on its 670-acre airfield, including deliver-ing military personnel and their gear to locations around the globe.

Flexibility is a benchmark of success at air ops, because day-to-day tasks are extremely unpredict-able. Members could be asked to coordinate Inter-model activities or provide medi-vac transportation to injured comrades.

Once aircraft are airborne, members in Air Traffic Control maintain positive communications with pilots and provide clearance for all flights.

The air terminal has the capability of providing all the services of a commercial air terminal, and its staff strive to be the preeminent airfield in the Commander, United States Navy Europe Area of Responsibility.

“Hurts One. Affects All ... Preventing Sexual Assault is Everyone's Duty."

10 June 30, 2011 C LRELIGION

Having recently arrived here in Spain, I am re-minded of the power of the spoken word. Since I am not a Spanish speaker, my family’s treks out into

the local culture have been in-teresting, to say the least. Wild hand gestures, ever-increasing volume and exaggerated fa-cial expressions are used in an attempt to overcome the language barrier that exists be-tween my very American family and the Spanish woman at the

nearby restaurant. Sometimes such tactics work, other times they do not.

So why do we, for the most part, speak English in America (some parts of the country better than oth-ers) and not some other language like Swahili?

The short answer is because we have imitated the

language of those around us while we were growing up. English was spoken in the home and in society, so we follow, with little conscious thought involved in the entire process.

Following the example of others doesn’t just take place in language, it is also readily apparent in how we come to the values and morals that we possess. Ask just about any parent of a teenager, and they will tell you that they are concerned about the kind of friends their teen hangs out with. Why? Because who you spend time with affects who you are and who you will become. Who you choose to be close to is vitally important.

Therefore, our “Lesson for Life” this week comes from the book of 1 Corinthians 15:33 – “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good morals.’” This is one side of the argument. Another way to consider the discussion is to frame it in a positive light: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”

(Proverbs 27:17). I cannot count the number of times someone has

come into my office in a very difficult and painful circumstance as a result of making a poor choice in friends. However, I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing many others thrive and do very well in life because they chose to follow good, solid mentors.

So, what about you? Who are you imitating and who is imitating you? Perhaps you need to step up and be a more active and positive role model. Maybe there are some negative influences in your life that need to be removed. Regardless of where you are, look carefully at the influences around you and make a conscious decision to imitate that which is good.

If you would like to speak to me or another chap-lain regarding this discussion or any other issue, please call the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

Rota, the town confidently raises its head above everything else in sight. A drive 300 meters up will prove it: Medina Sidonia has plenty of which to be proud. To begin, the history of this village sets it above the rest, in harmony with its elevated location. Medina Sidonia was once an ancient hilltop Muslim fortress that fell to Catho-lic troops in 1264. In the Middle Ages, it became a famous seat of the Duke de Medina Sidonia, a title bestowed on the heirs of Guzmán El Bueno who helped recapture the town from the Moors. It is the oldest dukedom in Spain, with the

To look at it now, you may not guess that Medina Sidonia was once one of the most important ducal seats in Spain. Although the village has seen better days, it only takes one walk down a cobbled, narrow road to become entranced. Precariously perched atop a hill surrounded by flat farmland, Me-dina Sidonia pops out of nowhere, it seems. The town roosts over the countryside in a matronly manner, vigilantly guarding her brood of vegetable gardens, nearby fields and wandering herds of sheep. About a 30-minute drive east from

most famous duke being the 7th Duke who commanded the Spanish Armada against England. Fast-forward about 750 years and you will find a town that is a bit worn around the edges. It is that very shabbi-ness, however, that makes it special and sends you right back to the Middle Ages. Finding parking in this tightly packed town is a chal-lenge. Parking lots rest along the edge of town on cliffs that overlook the farmland. Once parked, prepare to give your legs a workout. Since Medina Sidonia is on a hill, you can guess what kind of life it is for pedestrians there. I remarked repeatedly that all residents must be in great shape. A simple walk to the local grocery store re-quires one to conquer steep inclines. Little old women were doing this loaded with heavy shopping bags. Push on, though, because the Plaza de España awaits. There is a small café over-looking this plaza and the

Ayuntamiento, or town hall. This building draws all eyes to its impressive architecture at the end of the square. This is a prime location for festivals and markets. Moorish ruins and archi-tecture dot the entirety of Me-dina Sidonia. For example, the Iglesia Santa María La Coronada is built on the foun-dations of a former mosque. The church balances on the town’s pinnacle in another inspiring square. Nearby, check out the Roman Sew-ers that date from the 1st century A.D. There is also a well-preserved Roman road nearby and a trio of gates that represent additional Moorish architecture. When finished with your tour of Medina Sidonia, pause for a moment. Breathe in the 360-degree views surround-ing you. Your imagination just might take you to a time long, long ago: A time when the grandeur of medieval battles and ducal families put Medina Sidonia not just on top of a hill, but on top of the world.

One of the many parks that grace the village.Town Hall is located at the Plaza de España, a great place to have tapas and relax.

Breathtaking views of the valley can be seen as you visit the Roman Ruins.

A Roman Statue and water fountain mark the entrance to the Medina Sidonia.

Visitors can climb to the top of the Iglesia Santa María La Coronada bell tower.

A u t o m a t e d H e a t S t r e s s Monitor System Showcased

To assess heat risks for the Rota community, the In-dustrial Hygiene department at U.S. Naval Hospital Rota Spain has again deployed its Automated Heat Stress System monitoring station on its campus grounds this summer season. This unit transmits real time Wet Bulb Globe Temperature heat stress readings directly to a dedicated computer which interprets and relays real-time heat condition information per the Navy’s Heat Flag warnings for heat stress risk category over the internet for 24/7 access. These Heat Flag conditions are:

(1) White Flag - When the WBGT index is less than 80, extremely intense physical exertion is needed to cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Although no outdoor restrictions are mandatory - caution will be taken.

(2) Green Flag - When the WBGT index is between 80 and 84.9, this is a marginal heat stress limit for all personnel where careful planning of heavy ex-ercise for unacclimatized personnel is required.

(3) Yellow Flag - When the WBGT index is between 85 and 87.9, strenuous exercise and activity will be prohibited for new and unacclimatized personnel during the first 3 weeks of heat exposure. Outdoor classes in the sun will be avoided when the WBGT index exceeds 85.

(4) Red Flag - When the WBGT index is between 88 and 89.9, strenuous exercise will be prohibited for all personnel with less than 12 weeks of living and working in hot weather.

(5) Black Flag - When the WBGT index is 90 or above, strenuous, nones-sential outdoor physical activity will be suspended for all personnel. Essential activities are defined as those activities associated with scheduled military ex-

H a p p y F o u r t h o f J u l y !First of all, I wish you all a wonderful 4th of July

weekend whether you stay in the area partaking in the base celebrations or if you take the opportunity

to do some traveling. Summer sales of-

ficially start tomorrow, July 1. One of the plac-es you will want to visit is Matías Lebrón Jewel-

ers in El Paseo Mall. This well established jewelry store is offering 15 percent off on jewelrey and 10 percent off on top brand watches, such as Tommy, Michael Kors, Seiko, Armani and Tous, as well as 10 percent off on Pandora bracelets. Now is your chance to get one!

Another place you will want to visit is Las Dunas Mall at the entrance of Sanlúcar. Here you will find top-line clothing and shoe stores with great deals.

Big news! Las Dunas now runs free buses on Fridays and Saturdays from Rota and Costa Ballena to the mall and back. The buses leave from the bus station right outside the Rota Gate. On Friday, buses leave Rota at 6 p.m., stopping at the Hotel Colón in Costa Ballena at 6:15 p.m. and returning at 9:40 p.m. On Saturday, buses leave Rota at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. with return trips at 2, 5:30 and 9:40 p.m. All of the buses stop at Costa Ballena.

If you are going to PCS shortly, you don’t have to say good-bye to your favorite Spanish foods. At Tienda.com you can get a great variety of Spanish goodies including ham. It doesn’t matter if you are going somewhere else in Europe or are going to the States, you have the option of sending from Tienda Europe to Europe or Tienda U.S. to the States.

Tienda.com was started in 1996, one year after

Amazon, and are now in their f i f teenth year, and without a doubt it is the biggest Web site for Spanish foods. Tienda.com was started by Don Harris, who was stationed here in Rota in the 1970s. It is still family owned and run. I do recommend that you read the story of how it all began on their Web page. I have ordered from Tienda numerous times when in the States and have always been happy with the quali ty of the products and the fast service. Put Tienda.com in your favorites so that whenever you get the urge for some of the things you miss, you can order them. Check it out.

This summer why not take a horseback ride on the beach? Contact Centro Ecuestre Las Marías at centroecuestrelasmarias@hotmailcom or call Jesús at 652-12-9911. He speaks English. They organize excursions on horseback for riders of every level even if you have never been on a horse before.

Las Marías offers summer day camp for children ages 5 to 16 during July and August, as well as a week-long camp. You can find out more at www.centrolas-marias.com or at www.grandescampamentos.com

Jesús, from Centro Ecuestre Las Marías, gets ready to take some kids for a wagon ride.

for the week-long camps. The week-long camp is located near Jerez and is bilingual English/Spanish. Las Marías is located on the “Camino Viejo de Rota” on the outskirts of Puerto. There is a small map in their ad on page 23 this week to help you locate the place. If the world of horses interests you, you will like Las Marías.
