I was expecting a nice hotel, butfound Edelweiss was even morethan that. It had plenty of ameni-ties to take advantage of after along day of skiing, including arestaurant, sports shop, outdoorheated pool and hot tub. Therewas also a coffee shop, bar andcasino.I stayed in a standard room that

was very spacious and American-sized. There was a small balconywith chairs to relax and take inthe view of the mountains. FreeWi-Fi was provided, courtesy ofthe VFW. The television had allthe standard AFN channels aswell as local TV. Star Wars: ANew Hope, dubbed over inGerman, was hilarious.

I got up early the first day to dosome skiing. The weather was onmy side. With the clouds gone Igrasped the full the size andbeauty of the mountains.Edelweiss had a ski shop set up

at the base of the slopes ofGarmisch-Classic ski area whereauthorized Department ofDefense personnel could buy lifttickets and rent everything theyneeded, including ski pants andjackets, for a reasonable price.There were also lockers for stow-ing valuables. I hadn’t skied in years, so I took

the first hour to get my bearings.I soon discovered that the averageslope in Garmisch is more chal-lenging then some places I have

skied in Colorado and NewMexico. I felt like an amateur aschildren did jumps and flew pastme with impossible speed. Every view from the ski slopes

was immensely beautiful; the airwas fresh and it was easy to soakin the festive atmosphere of oth-ers having a carefree time.There were restaurants all

along the ski slopes for those that are hungry or just need abreak. Why not enjoy a nicebratwurst and perhaps someBavarian “weissbier” (wheatbeer) in true German fashion?And you just can’t beat the viewon a nice clear day.

I’m standing on top of a moun-tain. It’s a clear day and I’mbreathing crisp, cold air and tak-ing in a 360-degree view of morethan 200 mountain peaks juttingup from four countries. A combi-nation of fierce winds and mynerves sends chills down my spineas I peer over the railing and lookthousands of feet down at a littlevillage nestled in a valley. That’swhat it was like to stand on top ofZugspitze, the tallest mountain inGermany.My adventure began early one

Friday morning at Capodichino. Icaught a flight to Munich, whichtook about as long as a drive toRome. I headed to the EdelweissLodge and Resort near Garmisch-Partenkirchen for a weekend get-away and a little skiing on theBavarian Alps- a lifelong dream ofmine.From the Munich airport, it was

easy to get a train to where Ineeded to go. There were plenty ofhelp desks that offered guidance.Thanks to the punctual Germanrail system, I was in the quaintBavarian village of Garmisch-Partenkirchen by lunchtime.Though I could have taken a

taxi, I walked from the station toEdelweiss to take in the pictur-esque village. The houses and cot-tages along the way were well-kept and felt distinctly “German.”Every car seemed to be aVolkswagen, Mercedes or BMW.Low, overcast clouds hid how tallthe mountains around the valleyvillage were. The air was so freshand clean. After 20 minutes, I arrived at

Edelweiss. It felt like a classic rus-tic mountain retreat inside and out.The exterior façade was stone andtimber; the interior impressed mewith its massive stone hearth andleather chairs in the main lounge.

The Religious Ministriesteam from Naval SupportActivity Naples hosted aNational Prayer Breakfast atthe Bella Napoli ConferenceCenter, March 7, to give com-munity members an opportu-nity to come together to sharea meal and prayer. “We’re gathered herebecause we have a commonbelief that prayer matters,”said guest speaker Adm.Bruce Clingan, Commander,U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa. “If we want to prevail incombat, we must be techni-cally, physically, emotionallyand spiritually ready,” saidClingan.Prayer holds deep roots inthe history of the world andthe United States Navyallows Sailors to participate

in the practice openly. For many years, the Navyhas welcomed Sailors from allfaiths. Lt. Dirk Caldwell, acommand chaplain, saidallowing Sailors to practicetheir faith is an invaluableasset.“What our nation is allabout is inclusion, expressionof that faith, to not be hin-dered by it,” said Caldwell. “Ithink that especially ringstrue when folks are deployedor in harms way and they canstill call on their God.”Serving on a ship for severalmonths, or out on the frontlines, can be challenging.Clingan said having the abil-ity to practice one’s faith canhelp during hard times, andspirituality is key to accom-plishing the mission.“I encourage you to pray foreach other that we mightfully deliver on our obligationto God, family and country,”

said Clingan. “And that wemight be blessed with thestrength, the courage, thestamina, and wisdom to sus-tain America as one nationunder God, indivisible.”The prayer breakfast mir-

Base Notes•• ••

Last week, a Fleet CyberIntelligence Advisory wasissued regarding maliciouscomputer network exploitationoperators that may be workingto target Navy commands’Facebook or other social net-working sites. Hand-in-handwith this warning, commandswere urged to ensure all serv-ice members and their familiesare educated about the risksand best practices in usingsocial networking sites, suchas Facebook. Just a few daysago, Defense FinanceAccounting Services (DFAS)disseminated an additional warning, advising that recently somemyPay users received a fake email asking for the answers to myPaysecurity questions.It goes without saying that criminals will use the internet to accom-

plish illegal activity. We also touch from time to time on keeping sta-tus updates or comments free of particular content, such as troopmovements, due to OPSEC reasons. There seems to be an upswing ofthese types of cyber-attacks recently, however, and we owe it to our-selves to be extra vigilant. If you aren’t assuming people are out therelooking for ways to exploit your information, you’re wrong. Bits andpieces of information, posted separately, can be assembled to give acriminal or adversary a robust picture of your daily activities in yourpersonal and professional life, to include your work as a service mem-ber or DoD employee. Particularly in an overseas environment, wecannot afford to forget that there are those who would do us harm. Wecannot afford to make ourselves targets. We need to make everyeffort to give these types of criminals a harder time, not an easier one.So how can you tell if an email you receive is legitimate? Typically,

correspondence from government entities such as myPay/SmartDocswill not ask you for a direct response. Never reply to requests for secu-rity question answers or passwords. Make sure any links embeddedare actually to the sites represented by the email (a good way to checkis to use your mouse to hover over any links: the text that appearsshould show the site address, and match the link in the email).Using good judgment on social networking sites is extremely crucial.

Minimize your personal information and make sure your privacy set-tings prevent people you don’t know from targeting your profile.Ensure military affiliation is minimized; consider using a profile pic-ture in civilian clothes for personal pages. Be aware of commentsposted to public forums or pages, especially when engaging in conver-sations related to command specific and sensitive information.Computer network exploitation actors have been known to elicit crit-ical information as well as spoof accounts of military members andpersonnel associated with the command.A good resource for guidance in Navy policy in this area is in SEC-

NAVINST 5720.44C, Department of Navy Public Affairs Policy andRegulations, which can be found online at the Department of theNavy Issuances page, http:// doni.daps.dla.mil/default.aspx.Information assurance training addresses many of these concerns aswell and can be found online at http://www.disa.mil/ News/Training.Ensure you are familiar with best practices online, be smart and besafe.

a bank in Prato with a toy gun and a box cutter.Witness told police she was wearing a mask,forced tellers to hand over 4,000 euros and thenfled on foot. Police said witnesses deduced she wasan elderly woman. In another bank in the city ofBari, a bank robber died of a suspected heartattack after a scuffle with a security guard andstaff member.

Museum Destroyed by Fire to be RebuiltThe Citta’ della Scienza in Naples was destroyed

a year ago by fire and prosecutors investigatingthe accident are treating it as an arson case. Anagreement to rebuild the scientific museum was

reached by the representatives of the central andlocal governments. Authorities have allocated 56million euros to rebuild it. Citta’ della Scienza wasbuilt on a converted steel plant. It included a plan-etarium, an interactive museum, an exhibitionhall, a conference center and offices. It was con-sidered among the best scientific museums inEurope, and had 350,000 visitors a year.Violence Breaks Out in Naples NeighborhoodA teenage girl had an attempted assault alleged-

ly by two gypsy men in the Poggioreale neighbor-hood in Naples. A group of gypsies left their campwhen nearby residents launched stones and fire-works at their home in retaliation of the attempt-ed violence against the girl. Early Wednesday,about 50 Neapolitans formed a roadblock inprotest while police had to intervene to surveil-lance the camp. The neighborhood president hascalled for police to remove the camp.

Woman in Lazio Finds Treasure in OldNational CurrencyAn Italian woman from Viterbo, in the Lazio

region, found a metallic box filled with 100 millionlire of the old national currency in cash at heruncle’s home that she had inherited after hisdeath. She thought she was lucky since she workstemporarily at a call center, but when she went tothe Banca d’Italia, Italy’s central bank, they toldher that her fortune had no value. Italy’s centralbank set a time limit for the exchange of the lirain euro and any banknotes or coins not presentedto the bank before December 6, 2011 are worth-less. The woman approached a lawyer’s associa-tion to challenge the decision, because even if thetime set has expired, the set time for the woman tobe able to exchange banknotes from the oldnational currency into a value of almost 52, 000euros goes on from the time she found the money.

Hospital Staff Helps Clean Up Mission in Caserta

After an exhausting day of ski-ing, I was tired and decided tohead back to the resort. I had acraving for American pizza. Letme be clear, I love the food inNaples. The pizza, pasta andseafood are to die for; however,after so long overseas I findmyself occasionally missing trueAmerican junk food. I went to thebar down stairs and ordered an“American” pepperoni pizza andtook it back up to my room. The next day turned out to be

just as clear as the last, perfectfor going to the top of Zugspitze.At 9,718 feet, it’s the tallestmountain in Germany.There were two ways to get to

the top, a cable car or a cogwheeltrain. I decided to take the train.The ride took about 45 minutesand most of it was through a tun-nel that ended at ZugspitzeSchneefernerhaus, a popular skiarea. From here it was a shortcable car ride to ZugspitzeGipfelalm Lodge, “the highestbeer garden in Germany.” Morethan a beer garden, there wereobservation areas, a museum,and a restaurant. Taking in the view on top of

Germany, I remembered one ofthe main reasons why I joined theNavy: to see the world. Two yearsago I never thought I’d be here.In one weekend, I marked two

things off my bucket list; visitGermany and ski in the Alps. Idecided to go ahead and mark offa third thing.

TOP OF GERMANY

A view of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany from the ski slopesof Garmisch-Classic.

How many people can saythey’ve drank a German beer, ontop of Germany? I can. I didn’teven know that was on my buck-et list until the opportunity arose.As I headed down the mountain

on my last day, I realized that Ihad been too busy to explore someof the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It was a Sundayevening, and everyone was takingtheir time strolling around town,window shopping and enjoyingthe warm weather.With the sun setting and a day’s

travel tomorrow, I headed back tothe resort promising myself that Iwould come back to Garmischand explore the town when I hadmore time. I said Auf

Wiedersehen the following morn-ing and promised I’d be back as Iboarded the train to go toMunich. I arrived back at Capodichino

later that evening and it waspouring down rain. I felt bluewalking in the rain back to mybarracks room. In my experi-ences, feeling sad to be home isthe trademark of a good trip.The trip to Germany was all

that I hoped it would be. I skiedin the Alps, ate good food, drankGerman beer and went to the topof a mountain, all during a four-day weekend without breakingthe bank. It was far better thansitting in my barracks room onbase.

Chief of Naval Operations(CNO) Adm. JonathanGreenert sat down this week tofilm another episode of"Conversation with aShipmate," discussing aspectsof Navy's Fiscal Year 2015Budget Proposal.The Department of the Navy

released its proposed $148 bil-lion budget for fiscal year 2015(FY15), March 4. The budget ispart of the $495.6 billiondefense budget PresidentBarack Obama submitted toCongress the same day."Compensation is about half

of our budget. We'd like to keepit to one half," said Greenert."The idea is to limit thegrowth, not take out."Navy Sailors' and civilians'

compensation would not bedirectly cut, but rather the rateof growth would slow fromroughly three percent to onepercent in pay and slow forBasic Allowance for Housing(BAH) raises, Greenert said. In 2013 alone, BAH rates

overall were raised 3.8 percent,depending on geographic loca-tion. In the FY15 budget newBAH rates will take intoaccount the current five per-cent out of pocket expensealong with a proposed one per-cent change to renter's insur-ance. Inserting these changes

incrementally and as membersPCS, assures members whohave made long-term commit-ments in the form of a lease orcontract are not penalized ifthe area's housing costsdecrease, said Greenert. He went on to highlight that

members will not see changesin their next pay check if theyremain in their current dutystation and that changes willbe gradual if Sailors are mov-ing to new duty stations. Three components are includ-

ed in the BAH computation:median current market rent;average utilities (includingelectricity, heat, andwater/sewer) and averagerenter's insurance.The new budget proposes that

BAH does not include the aver-age renter's insurance since

some members choose not tomake that purchase, saidGreenert. Continuing to speak on com-

pensation, the conversationturned toward retirement. "There is no plan, today, to

change retirement," Greenertsaid. There is a commissionstudying it, and heavy mediacoverage about the proposedideas will continue, Greenertsaid."Anybody who is wearing a

uniform today - that retirementsystem will be grandfatheredwhich means: today's retire-ment system is their retire-ment system," Greenert said.If and when new options

become available service mem-bers may have the option oftransitioning to a new system.However, they will not beforced to accept a differentretirement system than the onethat was in effect during theirservice, Greenert said.Greenert was asked about the

projected FY15 budget thatslated Tuition Assistance to 75percent Navy funded, 25 per-cent funded by the Sailor.Greenert challenged this pro-posed change and said it needsrethinking and that there will

be more to follow on this issue."That's very important to me

to have an educated force, Iwant [Sailors] to get the righteducation," said Greenert. "Sothey get something that is use-ful while they're in the militaryand when they leave the mili-tary and that enhances theirlife."In FY14 Tuition Assistance

remains 100 percent funded bythe Navy and Greenert hopesto keep it that way."The bottom line is I want our

kids to have the best educationthey can get," said Greenert.This year's budget submission

prioritizes funding for forwardpresence and continues tomake critical investments inpeople and future capabilities.The additional investmentsproposed will be for retainingSailors through the Quality ofService initiative. The Navy seeks to reduce

manning gaps at sea andimprove the sea-to-shore flowof personnel to increase job sat-isfaction for Sailors."Every penny that the Navy

gets out of compensationreform, will go into areas toimprove the quality of serviceand work," Greenert said.

Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) Vice Adm. Bill Moran talks to Sailors during a worldwide all-hands call,March 5, at Defense Media Activity at Fort George G. Meade, Md. (Photo by MC3 Jules Stobaugh)

The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) talkedwith Sailors around the world in an All HandsCall, broadcast from the Defense Media Activityat Ft. Meade, Md., March 5. Vice Adm. Bill Moran, CNP, and Fleet Master

Chief for Manpower, Personnel, Training andEducation (MPT&E) April Beldo, updatedSailors on Navy subjects including pay, theCareer Intermission Pilot Program (CIPP),advancement and Tuition Assistance (TA). "Fleet and I are always interested in hearing

what Sailors are hearing in the Fleet and whatquestions they have," said Moran. "This givesus the opportunity to give them the right infor-mation and beat back any bad information thatis circulating." Sailors asked live questions via satellite, tele-

phone and social media. The Secretary of the Navy approved raises to

Career Sea Pay allowance and a Sailor fromSan Diego asked via satellite when the increas-es would show up in Sailors' paychecks. "We think within the next 60 days we're going

to start improving the pay of anybody on CareerSea Pay today," said Moran. Via telephone, a Sailor from USS Harpers

Ferry (LSD 49) asked if the Navy had plans tofully adopt the Career Intermission PilotProgram."The answer is absolutely," said Moran. "The

results we've gotten from this program havebeen very positive. People have been able to goout and get a college degree, start a family, orstart another job and have come back into theNavy and picked up right where they left off." He added that the Navy is seeking congres-

sional permission next year to remove the 'pilot'moniker and institutionalize it across the Navy. Sailors aware of plans to change the advance-

ment process had several questions about thedetails, such as removing the point value of

Good Conduct Medals and the timeline. "The things that we are focusing on is evalua-

tions, performance and the advancement score,"said Beldo. "Right now we are not changing thepoints you are given for awards." Moran added, "There's a lot being talked about

and discussed with advancement exams and Ithink it's important for Sailors to know thatwhile we're talking about it, nothing is beingimplemented in this March cycle. It's more like-ly to be a year from now that you'll see thesechanges take place, and we will communicatethat to all of you." From in-studio, a Sailor had a question about

the TA program. "The Navy has been 100 percent on TA for the

longest time, and even when the other branch-es of service dropped TA, the Navy kept it at100 percent; but, I've heard talk of them possi-bly going down to 75 percent-Have you heardanything about that?" asked MassCommunication Specialist 1st Class XanderGamble. TA is funded at 100 percent through fiscal year

2014, but Beldo confirmed that Navy TA maysee a 25 percent contribution from Sailors in thenext fiscal year. "We believe if there is an investment in there

from the Sailor, they will be more committed,"said Beldo. "I think it will still be a good deal forSailors." CNP also busted several rumors that Sailors

had heard in the fleet. He said there are no plans to increase the

length of boot camp, the Navy is not eliminatingthe Command Advancement Program (CAP)and there are no current plans to add advance-ment points for warfare pins or fitness exams. More questions Sailors submitted that were

not answered during the All Hands Call will beaddressed next week in All Hands Magazine.For more news from Chief of Naval Personnel,

Naples CommunityHealth AwarenessThe Naples Public HealthEvaluation (PHE) was an extensiveeffort to learn more about thepotential environmental healthrisks present in the Campaniaregion of Italy. The Navy estab-lished health protective policiesbased on the study’s findings to pro-tect the health of U.S. personneland their families, which includesbottled water advisories and health pro-tective lease clauses.The PHE found the potential health risks for living off-basecan be mitigated by following established risk-managementactions. The enduring health protection policies are as follows: • Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. per-sonnel living off base.

• Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas,based on U.S. Navy and Italian environmental samplingdata. In these zones, U.S. Navy personnel are not permit-ted to sign new rental home leases.

• Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHEwebsite and the U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board.

• Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses forprivate off-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service froma Navy-approved vendor.

– Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permit-ted wells. Landlords must disconnect all non-permittedwells and provide proof of connection to the city watersystem or that the well is permitted.

– Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water hold-ing tanks 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. Navyestablished health protective policies and took immediateaction, when necessary, to protect the health of U.S. person-nel and their families. The risk management analysis deter-mined that many of the health protective policies establishedduring Phase I and Phase II will continue, as well as newpolicies implemented to ensure continued health protection. The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets address-ing commonly asked questions and a detailed timeline ofstudy components, are available through a link on the NavalSupport Activity Naples website: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples.If you have a concern about your specific health risk andhow the study relates to you, please contact theU.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN: 629-6299 or commercial:081-811-6299.

coastal riverine Force admits Women to combat Billets

training required of CoastalRiverine Sailors, and in prepara-tion for the lifting of the women incombat exclusion, both Squadronsare implementing plans to incorpo-rate women into squadrons capableof the Riverine mission as soon asfeasible.CRS-2 is scheduled to deploy this

summer and is currently in pre-deployment training. CRS-4 recently returned from

deployment and CRS-3, Delta

Company, recently deployed.CRF operates in harbors, rivers,

bays, across the littorals andashore. The primary mission ofCRF is to conduct maritime securi-ty operations across all phases ofmilitary operations by defendinghigh value assets, critical maritimeinfrastructure, ports and harborsboth inland and on coastal water-ways against enemies, and whencommanded conduct offensive com-bat operations.

The Department of the Navyannounced March 7 that womencan now be assigned to previouslyclosed positions in the CoastalRiverine Force, continuing in theDepartment of Defense's rescissionof the 1994 Direct Ground CombatDefinition and Assignment Rule.The 30-day Congressional notifi-

cation requirement ended March 6,which now opens 267 Navy posi-tions in the Coastal Riverine Force(CRF) for the assignment ofwomen. The 267 Navy positions inthe CRF small craft include bothfemale officers and enlisted."Our continuing effort to maxi-

mize all professional opportunitiesfor women in the Navy and MarineCorps takes another step with theopening the Coastal Riverine Forceto female officers and Sailors," saidSecretary of the Navy Ray Mabus."We consistently strive to ensureall Sailors and Marines, regardlessof gender, have a path toward asuccessful military career. This notonly makes us better warfighters,but it ensures our Navy andMarine Corps remains the finestexpeditionary fighting force in theworld."With the opening of these billets

to females, the only remainingcommunity that is still closed towomen is Special Warfare--an issueSpecial Operations Command(SOCOM) and the Navy continue towork on together. Thirteen women have been iden-

tified as the first candidates for thenewly opened positions. Since lastfall, nine enlisted women havebeen administratively assigned toCoastal Riverine Squadron (CRS)2, Delta Company, 1st Platoon,located in Portsmouth, Va.

From Chief of

Naval Personnel Public Affairs

The administrative assignmentwas done to assist with manage-ment of the training cycle, in antici-pation of Secretary of Defense andCongressional approval to open pre-viously excluded billets to women.CRS-2 will be the first unit in theCRF to assign women to boats capa-ble of the Riverine mission.The nine women in CRS-2 have

completed the required training,have been screened for the billets,and all nine have been awarded

their Navy Enlisted Classification(NEC). The end of the congression-al notification period clears the wayfor these women to deploy withtheir squadron and potentially beassigned as crewmembers on boats. There are two other active compo-

nent squadrons with the same mis-sion: Coastal Riverine SquadronFour in Virginia Beach, Va., andCoastal Riverine Squadron Three,in San Diego. With the complex and intense

1. Review the www.move.mil website andread the "Its Your Move Guide" located onthe site. The process for most moves haschanged under the recently-developedDefense Personal Property Program(DP3). The most significant change underthe DP3 is the online Defense PersonalProperty System (DPS), which automatesthe move process and allows you to settleclaims directly online with yourTransportation Service Provider (TSP).The move.mil site contains valuable infor-mation and is your gateway to DPS.

2. Evaluate your personal property beforethe TSP arrives at your home. Identifyyour high value/high risk items and setthem aside to ensure you have a completeinventory. Consider videotaping or photo-graphing your property and having valu-able items (e.g., artwork, collectibles,heirlooms) appraised prior to your move.You may also prepare your own detailedinventory prior to the TSP's arrival toaccompany the ones it prepares. Carry allappraisals, original receipts, and invento-ry copies with you. Remember: In theunfortunate event that you suffer loss ordamage and must file a claim, it is yourresponsibility to substantiate ownership,value and that an item was tendered tothe TSP.

3. Ensure all inventories are completed withaccurate, detailed information. Don'tmake the mistake of not listing valuablesfor fear they may be stolen. You need toproperly document all items in the eventthey are lost or damaged. For example, ifyou own an Xbox, laptop, "Doctor Dre"Headphones and an iPod, the inventorydescription should not be "electronics";contents should be specifically identifiedand described. Don't simply list "largeTV"; rather include the make, size, andmodel number (if available). If you own acollection of CDs and DVDs, don't merelystate "living room items". Instead, includethe number of CDs/DVDs contained ineach box. If you are moving china or crys-tal, make sure the inventory indicatesthis with the brand name and not a gen-eral description of "dishes" or kitchen-ware". If you own an expensive Persianrug, the inventory should not simply state"rug".

Be sure to review all inventories thor-oughly before signing. If you disagreewith the condition or contents of theinventory, mark it in the "remarks" sec-tion or in the exceptions space before sign-ing. Be sure the TSP provides you withcopies of all inventories. Carry these doc-uments with you.

4. Make sure you are properly insured. TheDefense Personal Property Program(DP3) provides Full Replacement Value(FRV) protection for lost or damage items

within certain limits. Information onthese insurance limits is located on themove.mil website. You may wish to con-sider obtaining additional insurance ifyou are moving expensive or high-valueitems.

5. If possible, have plenty of help on the dayof pack-out to better monitor the eventstaking place in your home.

6. Note any damages to the home duringpack-out and at delivery. If the TSP does-n't provide forms to document damage tothe home (i.e. scuffed walls or floors), youcan note the damage on the inventory orother shipping documents before signing.Contact the TSP immediately to start thediscussions for repairing this type of dam-age - it is not covered by the DP3 claimsprogram and the timeframes outlinedbelow do not apply.

7. Continuously update your contact infor-mation in DPS so the TSP and/or thePersonal Property Service Office canquickly reach you if necessary.

8. Note any obvious loss or damage on the"Notice of Loss or Damage at Delivery"form provided to you at delivery. Also, youmust acknowledge receipt of all highvalue items on the high value/high riskinventory at the time of delivery. Take thetime at delivery to inspect items and noteany loss or damage. Pay special attentionto the wording above your signature blockon all documents as there are often specif-ic claims provisions from the TSP that youneed to comply with.

9. You have 75 days following delivery tonote any loss or damage not noted at thetime of delivery. Normally, loss or damagenoticed after delivery is recorded in DPS.You can also mail, fax or email the list ofdamaged/lost items to the TSP as long asyou are timely and you keep proof of thenotice. Failure to provide timely notice ofloss or damage can result in the denial ofyour claim. Problems accessing DPS is nota valid excuse for missing the 75-daydeadline and contacting the DPS helpdesk does not count as notice. If you havetrouble accessing DPS, you should providenotice to the TSP using the informationprovided on your delivery forms.

10. You must file your claim against the TSPwithin 9 months of delivery in order toqualify for FRV for your lost or damageditems. All claims must be filed within two(2) years. Payments on claims filedbetween nine (9) months and two (2) yearsare limited to the fair market (depreciat-ed) value for lost or destroyed items (viceFRV). Your claim will initially be againstthe TSP and the TSP will attempt to nego-tiate a settlement with you. Call usshould you have any questions aboutnegotiations, offers made by the TSP, timeframes for TSP responses, or transferring

10 Things to KnowBefore You PCSFrom Navy Military Claims Office A study released by the University Of Scranton in January

revealed the most popular New Year's Resolutions for 2014. Notsurprisingly, "lose weight" and "stay fit and healthy" were the toptwo. The same study revealed that just eight percent of people go on to

achieve their New Year's goals by year's end, with 36 percent stray-ing from their resolutions after just one month. If you fall into the36 percent bracket, Navy Physical Readiness and OperationalStress Control programs have tips to help you reenergize your com-mitments, get back on track and take the stress out of success. "March is Navy Nutrition Month, which is a great time to take a

look at the health and wellness goals you may have set in January,"said Bill Moore, director, Navy Physical Readiness Program. "Mostpeople tend to rely more on physical activity and less on a balanceddiet to achieve their goals. Movement is only half of the fitness pic-ture. What you consume makes a difference. Eating well and stay-ing hydrated are equally as important."With the rising cost of food and busy schedules, eating well may

seem challenging. Finding nutritious alternatives to convenientcomfort foods can take the stress out of maintaining healthyhabits."Even with busy schedules and the temptation of fast food options

that seem like time and budget savers, it is possible to prepare aquick nutritious meal without breaking the bank," said Lt. Cmdr.Amit Sood, a clinical dietician. "Start with a menu of meals you andyour family will like and go online for healthy recipe versions. Trywww.usda.gov for options. Check your kitchen to see what foodsyou already have on hand, and determine low-cost substitutions forwhat you're based on your grocery budget." Sood also suggests preparing meals on weekends and when off

duty to save precious time during busy evenings-and to avoid thetemptation of heading to a fast food "drive-thru" on the way home.Planning meals and eating at home more often can lead to cuts inboth calories and spending. "If you do decide to go out for dinner, plan ahead and think about

what you have a taste for," said Sood. "A salad with lots of vegeta-bles is a great option to help fill you up, but ask for the dressing onthe side to keep the salad nutritious." The same can be applied tobeverages by choosing water over sugary and calorie-dense options."Staying hydrated without excess calories will also benefit youroverall health and achieve or maintain any weight managementgoals.""Whether you're still trying to lose the holiday pounds or just

want to maintain wellness, proper fitness and nutrition are essen-tial in boosting your abilities to effectively navigate stress," saidCapt. Kurt Scott, Navy Resilience Chief. "Applying Predictability and Controllability-two of the Five

Principles of Resilience-can empower Sailors and families toachieve their health and wellness goals while maintaining longterm success," said Scott.To help you recommit to your resolutions, check out the resources

available to Sailors, families and civilians through the U.S.Department of Agriculture at www.usda.gov, including a foodintake tracker and a customizable recipe finder.

With the semiannual PhysicalFitness Assessment (PFA)upcoming, Navy Physical Read -iness Program officials remindSailors to verify their results inthe Physical Readiness Info -rmation Management System(PRIMS)."After each PFA, Sailors need to

log into PRIMS and ensure theirdata is entered and accurate,"said Bill Moore, director, NavyPhysical Readiness Program.All commands are required to

report their PFA data viaPRIMS no later than 30 daysafter conducting the PFA inaccordance with guidelinesestablished in the Navy'sPhysical Readiness Programinstruction, OPNAVINST6110.1J. Each Sailor must havea record for both PFA cycles inthe year, even if the recordreflects non-participation statusdue to deployment, individualaugmentee, medical waiver, etc.Sailors need to verify their

data within 60 days so that anycorrections can be made by theCommand Fitness Leader at the

command level. After six monthsof PFA completion, recordchanges can only be made byPRIMS administrators at NavyPersonnel Command, whichrequires a Letter of Correctionfrom the individual's command-ing officer, on letter head, thatgrants authorization to makethe change. For more information in

The Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention(NADAP) Office released a mobile game March 3as part of the Keep What You've Earned cam-paign. "Pier Pressure" was designed to promote respon-

sible drinking among Sailors by incorporatingreal-life choices in an entertaining work-and-playscenario. The app also enables all Sailors to haveimportant alcohol-related resources at their fin-gertips 24/7, including a blood alcohol content(BAC) calculator and local taxi search."During the development of the Keep What

You've Earned Campaign, we heard from young,enlisted Sailors that the best way to reach themwas through their mobile phones," said DoriceFavorite, Director of NADAP. "Pier Pressure willhelp Sailors understand how responsible drinkingcan keep their careers on track, and alternatively,how abusing alcohol can lead to serious conse-quences." Favorite said the idea for the game came from

the Sailors themselves, and NADAP engagedmore than 110 Sailors in the testing process tomake sure the app was both entertaining and edu-

cational. She explained that the goal of the gameis to advance one's career, but players must makethe right choices to be successful. "In the game, the choices you make at the bar

affect your skill level at work the next day, whichin turn affects your player's evaluation reports,"said Mike Aukerman, Alcohol Program Managerat NADAP. "Just like in real life, smart drinkingchoices help advance your career, while poorchoices can get you separated from the Navy-a.k.a. game over." Pier Pressure also features leaderboards,

enabling players to compete with friends andshipmates. In addition to the game, the app pro-vides resources to help Sailors drink responsiblyin real life. The BAC calculator can help remindSailors when they have had too much to drive, andthe local taxi search can help them find a safe ridehome. You can download the app now at the Apple

iTunes or Google Play app stores. For more information and to help promote

responsible drinking within your command, youcan access materials and resources from NADAP'sKeep What You've Earned campaign, available atwww.nadap.navy.mil.

Bataan Rescues Stranded MarinersBy MC3 Mark Hays, USS Bataan Public Affairs

Search and rescue (SAR) swimmers aboardamphibious assault ship, USS Bataan (LHD 5),responded to a vessel in distress in the Aegean Sea,March 8.When the SAR team from Helicopter Sea Combat

Squadron (HSC) 22 arrived on-scene, they observedthe Turkish-flagged container vessel, YusufCepnioglu, had run aground. The vessel was listing with the stern completely

submerged and leaning against the rocky shoreline.Two individuals were seen on the ship's bridge wingand upon request for assistance from the vessel'schief officer, the SAR team requested they move tothe top of the bridge."Initially, we saw a vessel listing on the rocks, an

overturned life boat, a beached raft, and two guys onthe bridge," said Naval Aircrewman (Helicopter) 3rdClass Taylor Gehricke a search and rescue swimmerfrom Tampa, Fla. "We conducted a search looking forothers, but there was no one else on the vessel."While the SAR helicopter was hovering over the

vessel, the crew encountered heavy winds and roughseas. Despite these conditions, the team loweredGehricke, to the top of the vessel's bridge to rescue totwo stranded mariners. Gehricke placed the rescue

strop around the first individual and they were lifted70 feet back to the helicopter. The vessel was listingeven more as the rescue swimmer approached the topof the bridge to save the second mariner. DespiteGehricke and the mariner falling to the deck multipletimes, the strop remained attached and both werebrought back to the helicopter safely."The ship started rocking and shaking really hard,"

said Gehricke. "I fell multiple times rescuing the sec-ond mariner. Situations like this are why I joined theNavy, to help people."Once the mariners had been rescued, the SAR team

brought them back to the flight deck aboard Bataanwhere the medical team was standing by to assist."The initial word reported was for possible

hypothermia," said Hospital Corpsman 3rd ClassThomas Ramocki from Wakefield, Mass. "When themariners arrived they were able to walk to the ship'smedical facilities where they were assessed by staff."Ramocki said that Bataan's medical team assessed

the mariners from head to toe, and determined theywere in good health. The Bataan Amphibious Readiness Group is on a

scheduled deployment supporting maritime securityoperations, providing crisis response capability andtheater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6thFleet area of operations.
