Chaplain Dirk Caldwell had no idea the adventure he wasabout to embark upon when his duty phone rang oneevening in September 2014.On the other end was Rose Marie Elsner, who was on aquest to find the place where her brother Staff SergeantCharles “Carl” Ross, had died along with 10 other soldiersin a B-24 plane crash near the San Giovanni airfield onAug. 15, 1944.“I wanted to make sure he was not forgotten and to keephis legacy alive,” Elsner said. With that phone call, the journey Elsner had startedmany years earlier to honor her brother, would soon benearing the end.Elsner was born the youngest of six children. Two of herolder brothers were serving in World War II; John Ross wasin the Navy and Carl was an Army Air Corp Radio Opera-tor and Tail Gunner.“Carl was kind,” Elsner said. “He could play the piano, heloved my Mother’s cabbage rolls, he was engaged to a lovelygirl, and he was funny.”His death changed her family forever.

Bravo Zulu to all the Sailorswho advanced this week! Ad-vancement has never been easyand our Sailors have to workhard and study harder just tohave a shot. The renewed focuson European operations, the in-creasing complexity of each andevery rating specialty, and thechallenging budget environmentgive us three more reasons toreach out and congratulate eachand every advancing Sailor!Enjoy your new level of author-ity and pay, but remember thatthese privileges come with an obligation. Your responsibility forthose that serve with you has increased significantly. You set theexample for those that are following in your footsteps. Be a greatmentor; the Navy has faith in you and asks that you continue tocarry out your duties in alignment with the core values thatguide our profession. I realize I talk quite a bit about recycling and trash, but theyare important topics. Our waste management is consistently im-proving as we work through some complex issues that can some-times reduce our capability to effectively collect, separate andremove trash around the installation. One thing that has a hugeimpact on our recycling numbers is separating organic materialand food scraps into a separate bin or trash bag. Our recyclingperformance is calculated using the weight of recycled materialover total weight of waste collected. By separating and recyclingfood scraps and other organic waste, we significantly increasethe weight of recycled material, improve our recycling perform-ance, and end up paying less for overall trash collection. I knowfor a fact that the community is putting a great amount of effortinto recycling, so let’s make sure we are getting credit for it. Safety is a major concern as we enter the 101 critical days ofsummer and especially over this holiday weekend. Be smartand think ahead about what could happen during your off timeand vacations. Also, we’ve recently seen a recent spike in alco-hol related incidents. Have a plan and stick with it, but knowyour options if that plan falls through. Keep our “Tipsy Taxi”335-640-6597 number in your phone and in your wallet as an-other way to get home. There are too many consequences thatare usually thought of in hindsight after a DUI, accident, orsomething far worse. Keep what you earn!We have been working closely with Allied Joint Force Com-mand Naples and are happy to share that U.S. ID Card holdersare allowed access to the International Store, clubs, and fitnessfacilities on JFC Naples. The pool, fitness center, and sportfields are available for a small fee, and all clubs offered by JFCNaples’ Morale and Welfare Activities club are also availablewith membership fees. This recent policy shift will increase thelevel of interaction between our communities and bring a signif-icant improvement to both our quality of life and the scope ofavailable activities.Be safe, slow down, and enjoy some time off over the longweekend!

On May 24, 1939, 33Sailors from the subma-rine USS Squalus (SS192) were rescued aftertheir boat sank off thecoast of New Hampshirethe day before. Squalus, named for afamily of sharks, was aSargo-class pre-wardiesel-electric subma-rine, built at thePortsmouth, N.H. NavyYard and commissionedon March 1, 1939. The310-foot boat displaced2,350 tons when sub-merged and was armedwith eight 21-inch tor-pedo tubes, a 3-inchdeck gun, and two .50-caliber machine guns.Squalus was designed totravel at a speed of eightknots when submerged.Lt. Oliver F. Naquin,the boat’s captain, tookSqualus to sea for trials,including dives, off theIsle of Shoals startingon May 12, 1939. After

18 eventless dives,Squalus made a testdive on the morning ofMay 23 with 56 sailorsand three civilians in-side her steel hull.Moments after the sub-marine went underwa-ter, its main engine airinduction valve failedand water poured intothe boat’s aft engineroom. The submarinesank stern first to thebottom, coming to restkeel down in 60 fath-oms, or 240 feet.A traumatic flooding ofthe aft section of theSqualus quickly claimedthe lives of 24 Sailorsand two civilians. Thatleft thirty-twocrewmembers and onecivilian struggling forlife in the forward com-partments. To signaltheir distress, they sentup a marker buoyequipped with a tele-phone cable, and re-leased red smoke bombsto the surface.After sighting the

marker buoy, theSculpin’s commandermanaged to speak withNaquin and confirm thatthere were survivors,even discussing rescueoptions before the com-munications cableparted. Now cut off fromthe world above,Squalus’ survivors spenta cold night trapped in-side their submarine,beginning to suffer ill ef-fects from chlorine gasleaking from the batterycompartment. The following morning,the rescue ship USS Fal-con (ASR 2) arrived andbegan lowering the newMomsen-McCann rescuechamber – a modifieddiving bell invented byCmdr. Charles B. Mom-sen and improved by Lt.Cmdr. Allan RockwellMcCann. The device,manned by courageous

deep-sea divers, made itpossible to reach thecrew.In three trips, the res-cue chamber brought 26men to the surface. Afterserious difficulty withtangled cables, thefourth trip finally res-cued the last seven sur-vivors in the dark hoursbefore midnight on May24, 39 hours after thesinking.Divers made a fifth, es-pecially dangerous de-scent to confirm thatthere were no survivorsin the aft torpedo roomcompartment.A Herculean effortbrought Squalus to thesurface weeks later. TheNavy raised the subma-rine and towed it toPortsmouth on Sept. 13,1939. Following an in-vestigation of the engineroom compartments, the

boat was formally de-commissioned on Nov.15, 1939.Four of the Navy diversreceived the Medal ofHonor for their heroicactions to rescue thetrapped men: WilliamBadders, Orson L. Cran-dall, James H. McDon-ald, and JohnMihalowski – for theirpart in the rescue ofSqualus’s crew. The submarine was re-named Sailfish andrecommissioned in 1940.With her new name, shewas in port at CaviteNavy Yard in the Philip-pines when Japan at-tacked Pearl Harbor onDec. 7, 1941. Fightingfrom the very first dayof the war, Sailfish com-pleted a dozen war pa-trols and sank morethan 45,000 tons ofenemy shipping.

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

A senior at Naples High School has beenadmitted to the United States MilitaryAcademy at West Point.Nathan Cairns, 17, the son of retiredArmy Lt. Col. Robert Cairns and CelesteCairns, has lived in Pozzuoli since 2004and attended Naples Middle High Schoolfor the last five years.“Growing up in the U.S. and NATO com-munity here has given me the chance toget to know people from a lot of differentcultures and to see so many things that Iwould not have had living in the UnitedStates,” Cairns said. While at Naples High School,Cairns earned nine varsity letters,was captain of the football andwrestling teams, and is cur-rently captain and goal-keeper of the Wildcats’men’s soccer team,who are ranked num-ber one in the Depart-ment of DefenseDependentsSchools EuropeDivision 1.When Cairns grad-uates from WestPoint in 2019, andreceives a commis-sion as a secondlieutenant in theU.S. Army, he willbe following aCairns tradition of military service extend-ing to the American Revolution and be-yond.His father graduated from West Point in1987, his paternal grandfather graduatedfrom the Air Force Academy in 1961 andhis great-grandfather graduated from WestPoint in 1932. Several of his uncles andcousins also graduated from West Pointand the Air Force Academy and many oth-ers served after being commissioned

through other routes.West Point is a four-year, co-educational,federal, liberal-arts college located 50miles north of New York City overlookingthe beautiful Hudson River.It was founded in 1802 as America’s firstcollege of engineering and continues todayas one of our nation’s premier leader-devel-opment institutions, consistently rankedamong top colleges in the country. WestPoint offers 37 majors balancing physicalsciences and engineering with humanitiesand social sciences leading to a bachelor’sdegree in science. Cairns plans on studying business alongwith a heavy core curriculum of engineer-ing and military history.

Cairns knew he wantedto attend collegewhere he couldreceive a com-mission upongraduation.He ap-proachedthat decisiondeliberatelyand thor-oughly. He attended

West Point’sSummer Leader

Experience (SLE)last year. This program al-lowed Cairns and other po-

tential cadets to spend a weekat West Point mostly being

trained by upper class Cadets. He also vis-ited Virginia Military Institute and Re-serve Officer Training Corps programs atTexas A&M and Auburn University.By summer’s end, Cairns had made uphis mind where he wanted to spend thenext four years of life training for a mili-tary career.“West Point is definitely where I wantedto be,” Cairns said. These others schoolsare great, but they just aren’t West Point.”

Airfield Complex, all located within a25-mile radius of the Italian town ofFoggia, was a series of World War II

military airfields, including the SanGiovanni Airfield where Ross’s planetook off, were built in late 1943,opened in January 1944, and closedin October 1945.Three days later, the small groupheaded east from Naples to the fieldsnear the San Giovanni Airfield.She was armed withphotos, GPS coordi-nates, and she had thesupport of her husbandalong with Caldwelland his wife to finishher journey.They soon arrived ata nearby farm, wherethey were met by somebarking dogs and anapprehensive farmerand his wife.After explaining their

purpose in journeyingto their farm, Luca andAngela Avella, wel-comed the group likeold friends. Angela

Avella also had a collection of articles,photos, and cards she had collectedfrom other travelers who had madetheir way to the couple’s farm insearch of the their own answers.Carl’s flight had left the airfield at3:30 a.m. on a mission to bomb oilfields in Romania. His plane crashed

moments after takeoff,about a mile-and-a-half south of the air-field.The group turneddown a gravel roadlined with fields, olivegroves, persimmontrees, and an appar-ently abandonedhouse, which waslikely the final restingplace of Carl and hisfellow Soldiers.Even though the airwas hot, and bugs an-noying, the atmos-phere was quiet andreverent as the group

gathered round. Flowers were placed on the groundand Chaplain Caldwell began “a veryspecial memorial service” to honorCarl and his fellow Soldiers who hadperished on this now-hallowedground.“This was one of the most memo-rable memorial services I have evergiven,” Caldwell said. “For me, this is sacred ground,” El-sner said. “I felt somehow like heknew I was there and it brings me asense of closure.”Caldwell and the Elsners continuedtheir journey of remembrance the fol-lowing day when they visited theSicily-Rome American Cemeterywhere remains of four of the 11 Sol-diers who died in the crash are in-terred. As you observe this Memorial Day,please take a few moments to trulyremember Carl along with the mil-lions of other fallen service memberswho have given their all to supportand defend our great nation.

Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus announced Navy-wide changes during a speech at the United StatesNaval Academy (USNA), May 13. The initiatives are broken up into sections including the Navy and Marine Corps fit-ness culture, uniforms, adaptive workforce and performance based advancement. Photo by MC2 Armando Gonzales

Huge changes are coming to the way Sailors andofficers pursue their careers, meet fitness standardsand conduct their daily lives.Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced a host ofradical changes during a speech to midshipmenhere Wednesday, including the way Sailors are ad-vanced and promoted, ending general militarytraining, expanding career flexibility, easing bodyfat standards, and offering sure-to-be-popularmoves like 24-hour gyms and expanded child-carehours.First up: The end of general military training viaNavy Knowledge Online, starting June 1.“Command triads will determine if and whentraining is needed,” Mabus said. “And to make rele-vant training more accessible and efficient, I’veasked the chief of naval personnel and the Office ofNaval Research to develop mobile applications forfleet release in fiscal year 2016.”That doesn’t include legally mandated training,like sexual assault prevention, that commands doin-person, but it does get rid of the check-the-blockonline modules Sailors detest.“You may hear sea-stories of mundane, arduous,and seemingly pointless GMT, but you won’t experi-ence it,” Mabus told the thousands of midshipmen.And after years of complaints from Sailors, theNavy will “completely revamp” the body composi-tion assessment, starting with the tape test.“Our pass fail/system that only — and sometimesinaccurately — assesses one aspect of physical fit-ness is going to end,” he said.The service is looking at the Air Force model,which tapes only the waist instead of the waist andneck. And on top of that, Mabus said, a BCA failurewill no longer mean an overall physical fitness as-sessment failure, because Sailors will still be able totake their physical readiness tests.“In the Navy alone, last year, we separated 1,500people — 1,500 Sailors for failing the PFA,” he said.“That wastes everybody’s time and resources.That’s more than we separated for drug use, for ex-ample.”

New PT standardsTo enforce a year-round culture of fitness, com-manding officers will also be able to do random spotchecks in between PFA tests. These won’t be puni-tive, but if Sailors fail BCA or PRT between tests,their commands can work with them to get themback in shape.And for those who surpass standards, there will bea fitness patch to be worn on the outside of the newNavy PT suit, which comes out next year. Thosewho max out their PRT three cycles in a row,Mabus added, will be eligible for a new OutstandingFitness Award.Leadership has not yet decided whether it will bea ribbon or medal, but it will be worn on dress uni-forms, a senior Navy official confirmed to NavyTimes on Tuesday.The discussion of physical standards continuedafter the speech, when midshipmen approached mi-crophones to ask Mabus questions.One mid asked whether the Navy Department’s

planned opening of remaining billets still closed towomen — including Marine and Navy special war-fare, and Marine infantry — would mean that phys-ical standards will be lowered to accommodatethem.“My notion is, you set up gender-neutral stan-dards. If you pass, you pass,” Mabus replied.“Eighty percent of men can’t pass [SEAL training].Keep the standards. Do not lower standards in anyregard.”

Expanding opportunitiesOf the long list of initiatives Mabus is pushing,many deal with career and professional manage-ment.The plan is to do away with year-groups for offi-cers, the hard and fast system by which officers arepushed from tour to tour and ranked against eachother. The new system will focus more on mile-stones, which would allow officers not ready for pro-motion to spend a few more years at their ranks,and fast track promotions for those who are ready.Similarly, Mabus signaled a huge change for en-listed advancements. The Command AdvancementProgram, where commanding officers can spot pro-mote their best Sailors, will be retooled into theMeritorious Advancement Program and greatly ex-panded, including to Sailors on shore duty, a long-standing request for many Sailors.On the flip side, Mabus said, COs will also havemore leeway to separate Sailors whom they feelaren’t making the cut.“You’ll have more control over who you advance orwho you separate without being subjected to a re-ally cumbersome separation process,” he said.And for those looking to round out their resumes,the Navy is expanding the Career Intermission Pro-gram tenfold — from 40 to 400 billets — in whichSailors will be able to take up to three years off. Itis also opening up graduate education and industryinternship options for officers.There are plans to add 30 more spots for in-resi-dence graduate education this year. And startingthis fall, Mabus said, the Navy will send its bestqualified officers for internships at Fortune 500companies.“When these officers return to the fleet, they’llbring industry’s best practices with them,” he said.With the economy improving, the Navy is lookingat ways to retain its best talent, particularly wherewomen are concerned, because they leave the serv-ice at twice the rate of men.Many women say they don’t feel the Navy is con-ducive to raising a family, a senior Navy official toldNavy Times on Tuesday, and so they get out.To ease the burden, the Navy also plans to doublematernity leave from six weeks to 12 weeks for newmothers and expand on-base child-care hours forparents.Additionally, an updated co-location policy willallow dual military couples to be assigned to thesame area while taking into account key billets thatwill equally benefit their careers.Roll-out for these initiatives will take place asearly as this year, spreading into 2017 for year-group changes and 2017 for new fitness policies.This report first appeared in Navy Times, an inde-pendent publication covering the U.S. military.

MEMORIAL DAY

From NSA Public Affairs

Each Memorial Day, on the last Mondayof May, the nation honors those Americanswho died while defending our nation andits values. More than two dozen cities and townsclaim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day.In May 1966 President Lyndon Johnsonsettled that argument by declaring Water-loo, N.Y., as the official birthplace of Me-morial Day.Regardless of the exact date or lo-cation of its origins, one thing isclear – Memorial Day was bornout of the Civil War and a desireto honor the fallen Soldiers fromboth sides of the war.It was officially proclaimed a holi-day on May 5, 1868, by Gen. JohnLogan, national commander of theGrand Army of the Republic, in hisGeneral Order No. 11. “The 30th ofMay, 1868, is designated for the pur-pose of strewing with flowers, or oth-erwise decorating the graves ofcomrades who died in defense oftheir country during the late rebel-lion, and whose bodies now lie in al-most every city, village and hamletchurchyard in the land,” he wrote.That date, which was originally re-ferred to as Decoration Day,was chosen because it wasn’tthe anniversary of any par-ticular battle, and because it

was thought that flowers would be inbloom all over the country.The first state to officially recognize theholiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 itwas recognized by all of the northernstates.The South refused to acknowledge thatday, honoring their dead on separate daysuntil after World War I, when the holidaychanged from honoring just those who diedfighting in the Civil War to honor all Amer-

icans who died fighting in any war.When Congress passed the Mon-day Holiday Law in 1968, the ob-servance of Memorial Day waschanged from May 30 to the lastMonday in May.To ensure the sacrifices of Amer-

ica’s fallen heroes are never forgot-ten, President Bill Clinton signed “TheNational Moment of RemembranceAct” in December 2000, which desig-nates at 3 p.m. local time on Memo-rial Day as the National Moment ofRemembrance, in honor of the menand women of the United States whodied in the pursuit of freedom andpeace.

The National Moment of Remem-brance encourages all Americansto pause wherever they are at 3

p.m. local time on MemorialDay for a minute of silenceto remember and honorthose who have died in serv-ice to the nation.
