I hope everyone had a safeand fun Memorial Day. Onegroup was especially busyduring the long weekend; Icouldn’t be prouder of ourstudent athletes and theircoaches, who give so muchtime and energy to ensurethese young people succeed.

Last Thursday, the NaplesHigh School girls’ soccerteam won their fifth consec-utive European Champion -ship for Division II DoDDsschools, which has never before been done, by any otherteam in any other sport. The all-tournament MVP for girls’soccer was Naples’ own Isabella Lucy, dominating in goalsand assists. Boys’ soccer also achieved a historical achieve-ment of fourth place in their tourney, advancing well pastprevious seasons. Boys’ baseball won their second Europeanchampionship, and currently sits with a 33-0 record,remaining undefeated for two years. George Shaffer, whowas 10/10 in the first two days of the tourney, took MVPoverall. Additionally, he took fourth place for tennis inEurope.

Boys’ track also had a great weekend, winning the DivisionII track meet and boasting the skills of the fastest boy inEurope, Cameron Copeland. Kudos to Cameron, who tookgold in both 100 and 200 meter events with faster timesthan all boys from Divisions I, II, and III. Last weekend’sevents cap off a great winter and spring, where the Wildcatsboys’ basketball team placed second and girls took fifth inDivision II. Girls’ softball finished second in their division,losing only to Vicenza all season. Well done to all the ath-letes that brought about these incredible results.

Our student athletes clearly excel at their sports, but I alsowant to thank the great coaches that get the most out of ourkids. NHS is a small-staffed school, and 15 hours away frommost competitors by bus. These students are able to with-stand long transit times and emerge as champions onarrival. Parents of these students support their athleticendeavors tirelessly, traveling to events and ferrying kids topractice. Our success is truly a community achievement--thank you to all who make it possible.

Though spring sports are wrapping up, summer is rightaround the corner, with plenty of opportunities to get outand enjoy all that southern Italy has to offer. Within ourown installations, the pools at Carney Park and the SupportSite are ramping up summer hours; the Support Site poolopened last weekend and Carney park opens in a couple ofweeks with the conclusion of the school year. The Reel TimeTheatre is offering more movie showings each weekendthan ever before, so there’s something to do even on rainydays. Get out and enjoy your weekend!

areaombudsmenhonored atrecognitiondinner

Capt. Scott Gray, commanding officer of NSA Naples, gives a speechduring the annual Recognition Dinner held by Fleet and FamilySupport Center Naples for the area Ombudsmen. This year's themewas Ombudsmen are the Connecting Branches.

Annually, typically in September,Ombudsmen across military instal-lations are honored for their serv-ice.

This year, to credit all of ourOmbudsmen before many transferfrom the area, Fleet and FamilySupport Center Naples moved theirRecognition Dinner to the month ofMay and honored 16 Ombudsmenby recognizing and celebrating theirselfless dedication to our many com-mands, all while continuing to takecare of their own families and otherpersonal obligations.

“Ombudsmen are the ConnectingBranches” was this year’s themefor the dinner held at VillaFortezza Ristorante in Monte DiProcida. Ombudsmen connect fam-ilies with commands and help themnavigate through the challenges ofthe military lifestyle.

Special guests included Capt.Scott Gray, commanding officer ofNaval Support Activity Naples, andcommand leadership for eachOmbudsman in attendance. TheProtocol Combo ensemble, a compo-nent of the U.S Naval Forces

From Fleet and Family Support Center Naples

Europe Band, was also on handand provided a refined atmospherewith their musical selections.

Navy Spouses have been servingour families as Ombudsmen for thelast four decades since former Chiefof Naval Operations Adm. ElmoZumwalt introduced the programto the Navy in 1970.

“You as Ombudsmen carry on thistradition of speaking up to those ofus in positions of leadership onbehalf of a group that bears a sig-nificant portion of the burden ofservice,” said Gray. “You volunteerto take this on, and I thank you foryour time and sacrifice.”

Each Ombudsman presentreceived an award. Each com-mand’s leadership took part inmaking their remarks competitive-ly special, from Protocol Ensemble

playing “Isn’t She Lovely” whentheir Ombudsman was called for-ward, to Capt. Matthew W.Pommer Jr., commanding officer ofU.S. Naval Hospital Naples, andhis mock phone call from thePresident of the United States viathe Secretary of the Navy.

“In our darkest hours it is cer-tainly easier to see how brightlyeach of you shine,” said Gray. “Icould not do what I do without you.You make our success as a commu-nity possible with the many hoursyou give up, often with your ownfamily, to take care of our largerone.”

With more than 5,000Ombudsmen volunteering 10 ormore hours of their time per week,Ombudsmen are the key to servicemembers and their families as well

There are a variety of lighting options on the market. There are incandescentbulbs, LEDs, CFLs and many more. Knowing a little bit of information aboutthe various types can assist you when deciding which bulbs are best for you, andeven help you save money and energy.

The use of traditional incandescent light bulbs was once a common practiceamong American households. Unfortunately, they have been found to be one ofthe bigger energy wasters among the various lighting selections. These bulbsproduce heat. Ninety percent of the energy used is wasted on heat and theremaining 10 percent of energy is actually used to light the bulb.

Compact florescent lights can be energy efficient, but users should be aware ofthe proper usage in order to effectively conserve energy and maximize the bulb’slifespan. These lights are best used in an area that requires use for more than15 minutes. Switching the lights “on” and “off” frequently can shorten the bulb’slifespan because it is designed to be in operation for a longer length of time.

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are energy efficient and environmentally friend-ly. Factors such as how long it is left “on” or how often it is switched “off” haveno negative impact on its lifespan. LEDs are not made with mercury and con-tain no filament, which makes it a little harder to break compared to an incan-descent light bulb. LEDs tend to be more expensive than the other lightingoptions on the market, but the lifespan is typically 25,000 hours compared tothe 2,000 hours of an incandescent bulb.

Navy updates enlistedadvancement Policy By MC1 Elliott Fabrizio, Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

May 30, 2014

NAVADMIN 114/14 announced changes to itscurrent enlisted advancement policy, including anew formula for the Final Multiple Score (FMS)and changes to the Command AdvancementProgram (CAP), May 15.

These revisions are designed to reward sus-tained superior performance and strengthen therole of the command triad (commanding officer,executive officer, and command master chief) inthe advancement of their Sailors.

"This isn't the first time we've done this," saidMaster Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)Mike Stevens. "Periodically we take a look at howwe're advancing Sailors and how the final multi-ple score is put together. We do that based onfeedback we get from the fleet."

The final multiple score is a weight-based cal-culation used to rank Sailors eligible for advance-ment.

In the new FMS, the value of the advancementexam becomes the largest factor considered foradvancement to E-4 and E-5, increasing inweight by eight percent, going from 37 percent to45 percent.

For E-6 and E-7, Performance Mark Average(PMA) becomes the largest factor in determiningSailors' FMS. For advancement to E-6, PMAincreased three percent and now counts for 50percent of the FMS calculation. For advancementto E-7, PMA increased 10 percent to count for 60percent of the total FMS.

This adjustment changes the emphasis on howperformance is measured for junior and seniorSailors.

"Leadership's expectation is that junior Sailorsknow their occupational skill," said Fleet MasterChief for Manpower Personnel Training andEducation April Beldo. "As they rise to the levelof E-6 and E-7, we're looking for them to be readyto be in a management and leadership role, so

their performance is more weighted." The Good Conduct Medal and the Reserve

Meritorious Service Medal will no longer con-tribute award points in the FMS.

"We were seeing that the majority of our Sailorsreceive this award, and so to give a point for itwas a zero sum," said Stevens. "Sailors weren'tgaining anything by it."

Sailors who pass the advancement exam, but donot advance due to quotas limitations, are eligi-ble to receive Pass Not Advanced (PNA) points;however, the new policy limits PNA points to thetop 25 percent of Sailors: 1.5 PNA points go to thetop 25 percent of Sailors by test score, and 1.5 goto the top 25 percent by performance mark aver-age.

"I believe putting this 25-percent window inplace will motivate Sailors," said Stevens. "It'snot just about passing the exam. It's about pass-ing the exam with flying colors."

Total PNA points in the FMS are determinedfrom a Sailor's last five advancement cycles for amaximum of 15 possible points.

Service in pay grade has been reduced fromseven percent to a weight of one percent of theFinal Multiple Score for advancement to E-4through E-6.

Changes to the Command AdvancementProgram will take effect Oct. 1 for fiscal year2015.

The new policy establishes the period from July1 to Sept. 30 as the Navy's CAP Season, and thattimeframe is the only time that commands canCAP Sailors.

MCPON added that this change is designed toprevent commands from inadvertently over man-ning ratings by promoting Sailors after the Navyestablishes the quotas needed based on vacan-cies.

"By capping first and then building theNavywide advancement exam quotas, we preventthat from happening and allows us to maintainstable rating health," said Stevens.

There are nearly 5,000 unknown soldiers buried at ArlingtonNational Cemetery. The "Tomb of the Unknowns" has never been offi-cially named and is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Last year, remains recovered from the USS Monitor were interred inArlington National Cemetery.

The remains were discovered during the summer of 2002, in anattempt to recover the ship's 150-ton gun turret. Navy divers discov-ered human remains inside the turret. The remains were sent to beidentified, but after a decade, were unsuccessful.

The Monitor was made famous for battling the Confederate ship CSSVirginia, formerly USS Merrimack, on March 9, 1862, at HamptonRoads, Va., in the first fight between ironclad warships.

The cemetery will also host lectures and tours that highlight the his-tory of the United States through the eyes of the heroes buried atArlington and the military conflicts that shaped the cemetery and thenation.

"There's a lineage and there's a tradition and that's what we honor,"Hallinan said. "So as comrades, as fellow citizens and as patriots, Ithink it's important that we get together and acknowledge that."

Exercise Trident Jaguar 2014came to a close aboard USS MountWhitney (LCC 20), Naval Strikingand Support Forces NATO(STRIKFORNATO)’s commandand control platform, as the shippulled into its forward-deployedhomeport of Gaeta, Italy, May 16.

"I am truly pleased with what wehave achieved during this dynam-ic exercise," said Vice Adm. PhilDavidson, commander of STRIK-FORNATO. “Trident Jaguar pre-sented a challenging scenario thatallowed my staff to hone the skillsneeded to conduct combat opera-tions across the full spectrum ofmodern warfare, wherever wemay be called upon to deploy."

Trident Jaguar, a NATO-spon-sored exercise, is part of a family ofNATO training exercises devel-oped to fit specific purposes andevaluation needs, and is a collec-tive training event to certifySTRIKFORNATO to serve as ajoint headquarters (maritime/ex p e -d itionary) aboard Mount Whitney.

The exercise focused on buildingthe force’s ability to respond to cri-sis on short notice. The exercisealso demonstrated interoperabili-ty between NATO allies as part ofNATO’s broader connected forcesinitiative. The exercise, whichbegan May 6 off the coast ofPortugal, included both NATORapid Deployable Corps Spainand STRIKFORNATO.

It was 1942, during the Battle of Guadalcanal, when a Japanese tor-pedo hit the port side of USS Juneau. The shock buckled the deck,shattered the fire control computers and knocked out power.

Bruised, but not beaten, she rejoined the other American warships.Not long after, the task force crossed paths with Japanese submarineI-26. The submarine fired three torpedoes. One struck Juneau andthe ensuing explosion blew the cruiser in half. It would be severaldays before rescue efforts would begin. When all was said and done,only 10 men were rescued.

Across the world in Waterloo, Iowa, the Sullivan family waited fornews of their loved ones - five brothers, Albert - 20, George - 27,Francis - 26, Joseph - 24, and Madison Sullivan - 23 - who had joinedthe Navy on the condition they would serve together. The news wasnot good. All five had perished. This was the greatest military loss byany one American family during World War II.

News that the brothers had died hit their hometown of Waterloohard.

"The loss happened early in the war," said Robert Neymeyer, histo-rian at the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum. "And itbrought home to the whole nation, how dangerous this war was."

In their honor, the guided missile destroyer USS The Sullivans(DDG 68) was commissioned. Kelly Sullivan-Loughren, granddaugh-ter of Albert, was there to launch the ship in 1995, by ceremoniouslybreaking a champagne bottle against her bow.

"I always say the ship is my first born," said Loughren, who waspregnant with her daughter at the time of the commissioning. "Theonly other time I felt like that, was giving birth."

After the death of her brothers, Genevieve Sullivan joined theWAVES in 1943. Loughren's father Jim Sullivan, followed in the foot-steps of his late father Albert, and joined in 1957.

"I can't tell you why, but I felt that it was my calling to go into theNavy," said Jim. "My dad and my uncles were in the Navy ... to me,they were heroes. They did it, so I wanted to do it."

Jim served as an interior communications electrician and later aconstruction electrician. Jim is humble about his service and duringhis time in the Navy, most his shipmates never knew about Jim'sfamily history.

"Because of the notoriety that my dad and my uncles got, I didn'twant other Sailors to think that I wanted preferential treatment onboard the ship I was on," said Jim. "I was just a Sailor like everybodyelse."

Jim said what makes him proud, is knowing that the Sullivan'sstory is one of the first Sailors learn in basic training, but he alsoknows his family is a small chapter in the big Navy story.

"It's not only my dad and my uncles," said Jim. "There were a lot ofSailors in World War II that lost their lives. Every one of them; weshould remember all of them. It makes me feel good about the Navy,about the military and everybody that serves."

The legacy of the Sullivan brothers still runs deep, not only throughthe Navy, but throughout their small town. From the Five SullivanBrothers Convention Center to the Sullivan Brothers Iowa VeteransMuseum, Neymeyer said there are two sides to honoring America'sveterans in Iowa as well as nationwide.

"It's really a reminder that if it's one individual or if it's five indi-viduals, we are still putting people in harm's way," said Neymeyer."One: We need to support them and two: we need to recognize theirservice."

Vice Adm. Phil Davidson, commander of Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO), givesclosing remarks, May 16, following Exercise Trident Jaguar 2014 aboard STRIKFORNATO's command andcontrol platform USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) in Gaeta, Italy.

An augmented force composedof NATO service members andcivilians took part in variousgeopolitical and wartime scenar-ios during the two-week exercise,created to test their abilities torespond and react to a variety ofsituations.

“We integrated a significantnumber of augments from acrossthe alliance with our core staff inorder to address the increasedrequirements that come from oper-ating as a joint headquarters,” saidDavidson. “We worked hard toquickly integrate the additionalteam members into our battlerhythm, and there was no way totell the difference between our reg-ular staff and our augments.”

“This exercise demonstrates theflexibility of the individuals frommany nations that bring a lot ofdifferent experience and skill tothe table,” said Royal Marine Lt.Col Chris Ordway. “There are alot of very talented people frompartner nations that, in reality,we are going to work with in areal situation.”

STRIKFORNATO, headquar-tered in Oeiras, Portugal, is thehigh-readiness, maritime-enabledjoint headquarters directlyresponsible to Supreme AlliedCommander, Europe for the com-mand, control and rapid integra-tion of major maritime andamphibious combat power forNATO, and now the ability tocommand and control joint forcesas the sole joint headquarters.

“It was a bridge that was putin at significant cost,” saidMcIlroy. “Of the lives lost on theBritish side on the day therewere 15, and some 75 wereinjured during the build.”

An original painting by warartist Terence Cuneo depictingthe action of the crossing of theRapido Bridge hangs in theRoyal Engineers HeadquartersMess in Chatham, England.

The Amazon Bridge holdsmajor significance because thecrossing allowed the Allies tobreak through the impenetrableGustav Line, which turned thetide of the Italian Campaign.

Prior to the Amazon Bridgethousands of lives and equip-ment had been lost by theAllies in fruitless attempts tobreak through the GustavLine, which reached fromOrtona on the Adriatic acrossItaly to Minturno on the otherside. It was made up of a seriesof fortifications, minefields andother strong points based onthe rivers and mountains thatcross Italy. Part of that lineincluded the strong point ofCassino and the Rapido River.It provided entry to the LiriValley along Route 6 and wasthe gateway to Rome.

The trip began with a visit tothe Cassino War Cemeteryseated below the Abbey ofMontecassino. The abbey over-looks the Liri Valley andcaused problems for theadvancing forces. Sappers (acollective name for engineers)who lost their lives working onthe Amazon Bridge are buriedhere.

All the bridges built duringthe war were temporary struc-tures with many reused in otherlocations. The site visited wasnot the exact location the bridgewas built, however you couldsee it off in the distance. Youcould also see the abbey loomingabove, which helped envisionthe scene of those brave menbuilding a bridge in the weehours of the night under thecover of darkness while endur-ing heavy enemy fire.

As we watched the steady flowof the current pass along theriver, our host British veteranDerek Flippance, a time-servedSapper and volunteer curatorand researcher from the RoyalEngineers Museum in Kent,England, provided an oral his-tory of the conditions underwhich the bridge was built. Healso gave background informa-tion on the exact type of bridgeand how it had to be construct-

ed under those conditions. Before the bridge was built,

the distance across the riverhad to be measured. With thatinformation delivered, and infull sight of the pace of the cur-rent, we listened as Flippanceexplained how the squadron’sstrongest swimmer made itacross the river with a line tiedto his ankle to measure the 80-foot gap.

“To do this he donned a blackpullover, used black boot polishon his legs and dived in carry-ing rope,” explained Flippance.“He managed to swim acrossand they were in the act ofpulling the rope tight to get atrue crossing span, when alongthe bank at the top a Germanpatrol appeared. The person onthe other end of the line saw theGermans; the guy in the watercouldn’t see him because he wasbelow them. The guy on thehome bank began pulling himback and due to the current theswimmer ended up 30 yardsdownstream. In the end the gapwas measured more by luckthan judgment.”

Details about the construc-tion, the timeline and theadversity that accompanied itwere all shared by Flippance.Confusion was created by openartillery fire, German gunsfired smoke throughout the con-struction site, there was a lossof communications, Lorries andhay stacks were set ablaze, andthe Sappers had to treat casual-ties throughout the night.

“It’s amazing how with theirlives threatened and under hor-rible conditions what all thesesoldiers did to achieve theirobjectives,” said German ArmyLt. Col. Hans Jakobi, from JFC Naples.

“Crossing this river was thekey for this operation,” saidJakobi. “The Allied Forcesplanned and built eight bridgesto bring all their armor on theother side, because fightinginfantry-against-infantry, theGerman defenders had the bet-ter positions and to overwhelmthem could only be done with armor, so these bridgeswere really the key to the wholeoperation.”

The group placed a poppywreath and memorial plaquenear the site and observed amoment of silence. Due to theheroic actions of the Sappers onthe evening of May 12, 1944, itwas possible for the Allies tosix-days-later break throughthe formidable Gustav Line andtake Rome shortly after.

A group of 15 service membersand civilians, representing fournations from Allied Joint ForceCommand (JFC) Naples, paidhomage to the Amazon Bridgesite on the Rapido River atMontecassino in commemora-tion of the 70th anniversary of the building of that bridge,May 13.

The trip was led by theAmazon Club, a dining clubconsisting of Royal Engineersbased in Naples, Italy, andincluded a diverse group ofengineers, infantrymen, womenand civilians from England,Canada, Germany and America.

“It takes its name from thebridge that was built across theRapido River exactly 70 yearsago,” said British Army Col.David McIlroy, the senior RoyalEngineer at JFC Naples andpresident of the Amazon Club.

The Amazon Bridge took about12 hours to build and was builtover the Rapido River duringthe night of May 12, 1944. Itopened at 5 a.m., on the morn-ing of May 13. This was just oneof the 2,494 bridges built by theAllied engineers during theItalian Campaign.

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other thanan active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit withineight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approvalfor entry into the country.

All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signatureis required at the time of application.

NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING TOITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.

As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office (RLSOEURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisition of the SojournerPermit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Armyand Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at theJFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.

Obtaining your Sojourner Permit

Did you know that the Navy's zero tolerancepolicy for drug abuse applies to the misuse ofprescription drugs?

According to the Navy Alcohol and Drug AbusePrevention Office (NADAP), misuse of prescrip-tion drugs includes taking medicine for a pur-pose other than prescribed, taking medicationthat hasn't been prescribed to you and wrong-fully possessing or distributing prescriptiondrugs.

Many Sailors don't realize that using someoneelse's prescription or taking the drugs outside ofthe intended purpose or timeframe is misuse ofthose medications with serious implications forthe Sailor. Although prescription drugs are alegal, safe method of treating injury and illnesswhen taken as prescribed by a physician,improper use is both illegal and dangerous-andin some cases deadly.

To prevent prescription misuse among Sailorsand Marines, NADAP's "Prescription forDischarge" campaign provides resources to edu-cate service members and their families on howto safely use prescription drugs, and of thehealth and career risks of misuse.

The campaign's five tips to avoid misusing pre-scription drugs are 1.) take correctly, 2.) reportpromptly, 3.) dispose properly, 4.) never share,and 5.) tell a friend.

First and foremost, it's important to follow yourdoctor's orders and prescription instructions asdirected. Health providers prescribe specificdrugs and doses based on an individual's historyand medical needs, and taking the drugs outsideof that supervision could result in disciplinaryactions and serious health consequences.

Second, ensure that both Navy Medical andyour command are aware of your current pre-scriptions. Sailors who test positive for prescrip-tion drugs without current, valid prescriptionswill be subject to disciplinary action and may beprocessed for administrative separation fromthe Navy. It's critical for Sailors who have validprescriptions to report them to Navy Medicaland their command immediately so that their

records can be updated prior to drug testing.Third, once your condition has improved and

your doctor has cleared you to stop taking yourmedication, it's important to quickly dispose ofthe medication to prevent it from falling intothe wrong hands. You can place unused orexpired medications in a small plastic bag withused coffee grounds or another undesirable substance and throw the bag in the trash. Don'tforget to cross out personal information on your prescription labels before recycling thecontainers.

Forth, never share prescriptions with a friend,shipmate or family member. Using someoneelse's meds or giving pills to friends or ship-mates can result in severe health and careerconsequences, including dishonorable dischargefrom the Navy.

Lastly, tell a friend. By telling at least one per-son you know about the four steps outlinedabove, you can help maintain fleet readinessand prevent the misuse of prescription drugsamong your shipmates.

To further prevent prescription drugs fromfalling into the wrong hands, the U.S. Navypartners with the U.S. Drug EnforcementAgency (DEA) by participating in NationalTake-Back Day held twice-yearly in April andOctober. Take-Back Day events provide anopportunity to turn in your unused or expiredmedications to your Medical Treatment Facility(MTF) or local drop-off site anonymously andfree of charge.

Collection sites can be found by going towww.dea.gov and clicking on the "Got Drugs?"banner at the top of the home page. For moreinformation on the participating MTFs, you cancontact the hospitals directly.

If you or someone you know may have a prob-lem with prescription drug misuse, NADAPencourages you to speak with your commanddrug abuse prevention officer or doctor, or call 1-866-U-ASK-NPC.

Navy personnel can find more informationabout the Prescription for Discharge campaign,including posters and flyers for medical facili-ties, leadership talking points and a medicalprovider toolkit, on the NADAP website,
