The president has proclaimed No-vember Military Family Month to offi-cially recognize that when servicemembers volunteer to answer free-dom’s call and protect our liberty, fam-ily members also make tremendoussacrifices. To celebrate and show ourappreciation for military families,MWR is offering specials all monthdedicated to the spouses and childrenof service members. Take a look at theVolcano magazine for more informa-tion, but some items include an Inflat-able Fun House at the Youth Centertoday, an Auto Wood Skills Center spe-cial session for teens, and the golfcourse has a deal for the kids. Send a picture of your military family througha Facebook message to All Hands Magazine and they can share it in their Mil-itary Family Appreciation Month photo album. Social media sites lit up with thanks to veterans this week, and the USO,

Harley Owners Group Naples Chapter and other groups did their part to showappreciation for Veterans Day. Many of the participants were veterans them-selves. We have many veterans serving here at NSA Naples in a wide varietyof capacities. They use their experience to support our community and improveour ability to support the Nation’s goals here in Italy. They are able to do soonly with the support of their family members, and we owe ALL of our familiesa special thanks and appreciation for their service. SAPR is a topic under increasing scrutiny by the White House and Depart-

ment of Defense. You may have seen the great commercials AFN is runningon the topic, prevention is the key to success. The director of the Navy's SAPRoffice, Dr. Jill Loftus, is visiting NSA Naples on Thursday and Friday to providea new interactive bystander intervention training presentation. It's based di-rectly off of Sailor’s feedback from surveys and focus groups held throughoutthe fleet. I’ve heard good things about the ‘No Zebras’ and ‘Can I Kiss You’ in-teractive training she brought with her during the previous visits and I expectmore great information and training from the upcoming InterACT perform-ances. We can't educate ourselves enough on this topic and I expect full partic-ipation in this new, Sailor driven training opportunity. We need to ensure weall take responsibility and are confident to do the right thing at the right time. Wednesday was the last 'best chance' day to get your presents back to the

U.S. in time for Christmas and vice versa for Parcel Post. The next militarymail holiday mailing date is Nov. 26 and is for space-available mail. Dec. 3 isfor Priority Mail, First Class and any letters or cards. Don't forget to pass thisinformation on to friends and family members in the U.S. who may be disap-pointed their presents didn't get to you in time. Coming off the long weekend, Naples elementary school jumped right into a

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) night yesterday. This pro-gram is great and we have plenty of talent here in the community to pass ondifferent interests, detailed information and career field advice to our youngones. Chris Beane, the elementary school principal, mentioned how he had par-ticipants from many commands last year and is looking forward to the samegreat support this year. Thank you for having your kids participate in this ex-cellent program and thank you for everyone volunteering to support our chil-dren’s development. One last thing I'd like to mention about our kids attending school. We parents

have a pretty incredible ability to show history to our kids firsthand. FromRoman amphitheaters and the world famous Pompeii to the Greek temples inPaestum and all that Italy has to offer, there's no reason our kids can't get some-thing more substantial out of their learning. As the kids get their days off or aswe approach the winter break, think about their interests or recent school proj-ects that tie into your travel plans. It's a great way to help the lessons stick. Asalways, be safe, recycle, and share your comments with me and my staff on ICE.

USO hosted a LittleCHAMPS show at the NaplesElementary School Nov 10.The co-author of “The Little

C.H.A.M.P.S – Child HeroesAttached to Military Person-nel,” Debbie Fink, performedactivities geared towards chal-lenges unique to children ofservice members and DoDcivilians.“It gives them a voice,” said

Fink. “It gives them an oppor-tunity and a vehicle to identifywith characters in the story toidentify with their challengesand to be able to talk aboutthose challenges.” The book follows the lives of

five children who each repre-sent a branch of the military.Different scenarios play outreal-world situations thatcommonly happen in the mili-tary lifestyle.Naples Elementary School

Principal Chris Beane was im-pressed with the LittleCHAMPS message and thestudents’ reactions.“The CHAMPS program was

very strong, it talks aboutwhat it means to be resilientand it really hit on things thatreally hit home with the kids,

such as multiple moves, beingable to make friends, dealingwith certain feelings, acknowl-edging who to go after, who tohelp, who can help you in theschool, which adults are peo-ple that are your advocates,”said Beane.“These kids get to see so

much of the world that it's in-credible, but with that comeschallenges like moving andstarting over,” Fink added.

The ‘edu-tainment’ tied inAmerican Sign Language, vo-cabulary and other educa-tional means to help the kidsunderstand and rememberthe lessons they learned.Due to a donation by the

USO, each child and educatorreceived a free copy of thebook. The principal receiveda copy of the multi‐mediacurricular supplement aswell.

U.S. Naval Forces Europe Rock band “Flagship” played the 239th MarineCorps birthday ball in Pozzuoli, Nov. 1.For a few of band members, this wasn’t the first time they had played at the

ball. According to Musician 2nd Class Nate Ward, this was his fourth time play-ing the Marine Corps ball.“I’ve always liked this ball because they always have it here,” said Ward.

“From the sound engineer perspective knowing where you are going is reallyimportant, you know what gear to bring to make everything sound better forthe ball goers.” At the beginning of their set, Flagship played jazz, slow music, dancing music

and then switched up to rock n roll. Playing songs ranging from classics like“Footloose” to modern hits like “Get Lucky,” the band kept almost everyone onthe dance floor once they got going.“The ‘Cupid Shuffle’ has got to be our most popular song,” said Musician 3rd

Class Erin Strickland, the band vocalist. “We play a lot of songs that peopledance to, most of them will really. ‘I Will Survive’ will get a ton of people danc-ing, but it’s the ‘Cupid Shuffle’ people go crazy for.”One of the biggest dancers at the ball was Marine Sergeant Brandon Hayden, a

postal clerk at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples Capodichino. As the bandbegan to play, they called for ball goers to stop mingling and start dancing. Haydenwas the first person to put down his drink and take up their challenge.“My wife says I am Flagship’s biggest fan and she is probably right,” said Hay-

den, who has been a fan of Flagship for several years. “I had been on board forabout two months when I heard Flagship for the first time. They were opening foranother band and I fell in love with the way they play and Strickland’s signing.”Hayden said the last few years he’s attended balls in Naples have been the

most memorable. Attending eight Marine Corps balls in the seven years he hasbeen in the Marine Corps it wasn’t until he got to Italy that he heard live bandsat birthday balls. “In the States they use DJs and stuff instead of a live band,” said Hayden.

“But when you have a live band it brings a whole new groove to the event, es-pecially Flagship, who is always updating what they play to new and currentmusic. I honestly think every ball should have a live band at it, to really turn itup a notch.”Flagship plays five to seven balls a year including but not limited to the Navy

Ball, Marine Corps Ball, Khaki Ball, and Air Force Ball.

This vital training is beneficialto the community as a whole because it willserve to train new, upcoming command Om-budsmen and it will strengthen the team by al-lowing them the benefit of having trained,capable OBT trainers in their midst.In September several FFSC staff members

and area Ombudsmen took on this exclusiveopportunity to become certified ombudsmentrainers (COT’s). With the new training, areaCOT’s have the ability to train newly identifiedand appointed volunteers. A command ombudsman can take this train-

ing in a concise time and manner, instead ofthe previous method of electronic OBT, whichis sometimes provided at times that is not ac-commodating to those who reside overseas.Trainers will be able to maintain their status

shop for seven qualified candidates trainingfor the title of certified ombudsman trainer.Each candidate received a letter of recom-mendation from their respective commands,a letter of recommendation from FFSC, in ad-dition to submitting a thorough application

packet for qualification.Doreen Scott, Naval Installation Command

Ombudsman training coordinator, traveledhere from the U.S. to conduct the training forthe Naples COT candidates. “It was a privilege to work with such a profes-

sional group of individuals in the recent Certi-fied Ombudsman Training held at FFSCNaples, Italy,” said Scott. “I am confident thatthe Ombudsman Program in this region isready to meet the training needs of the Om-budsmen it represents.”Several other trainees who traveled to Naples

for the training came from Bahrain, Rota andSigonella.“Having the chance to participate in the COT

training course was a great opportunity,” saidHolly Ward, U.S. Naval Forces Europe BandOmbudsman and Ombudsmen AssemblyChairperson. “It provided me with excellenttraining skills that will be of use here inNaples to train future Ombudsmen.”An Ombudsmen Basic Training course will

As a way of honoring and thanking the veterans for their service, USO Naples hosted a free tour of MonteCassino to 50 people Nov. 11. The hills of Monte Cassino are home to a monastery and a Polish cemetery.The original abbey was destroyed in a battle that lasted from Jan. to May, 1944. The Battle of Monte Cassinois where many Poles died while attacking the German-held ground, thus establishing the World War II ceme-tery. The abbey was rebuilt after the war and re-consecrated in 1964. (Photo by Cmdr. Don Biadog Jr.)

Thanksgiving is celebrated with the gathering of our dearfriends and family to express how thankful we are. A commontradition is the preparation of a grand feast. You can keep yourwallet thankful if you keep in mind these energy saving tips whilecooking your meal.Don't peek! Every time the oven door is opened, the temperature

inside is reduced by as much as 25 degrees, forcing it to workharder (and use more energy) to get back to the proper cooking temperature. If you needto check on a dish, use the oven window instead.Turn it down or turn it off. For recipes that need to bake for longer than an hour, pre-

heating the oven isn't always necessary. And if your stovetop or oven is electric, you canusually turn it off 5-10 minutes before the dish should be done and the residual heat willfinish the job. Alternately, if you're baking in a ceramic or glass dish, you can set youroven for 25 degrees less than the recipe calls for. Ceramic and glass pans hold heat betterthan metal pans.Give your burners a break. For your stovetop to function effectively, it's important that

those reflectors stay free of dirt and grime. Next time they need cleaning you may con-sider replacing them. But don't skimp—the better reflectors on the market can not onlydecrease stovetop cooking times, but also save energy in the process.Don't neglect your small kitchen appliances. Putting them to work more often instead

of the oven or stovetop can mean significant energy savings.Give your furnace the day off. If your next party involves a lot of work for your stove,

think about turning down your furnace to compensate. The heat of the oven—and allthose guests—will keep the temperature comfortable, and your furnace won't have towork so hard

Thanksgiving Fire SafetyWith the holiday season approaching, it may be anticipated that

many in the NSA Naples community will be gathering for festivemeals with family and friends. With that in mind, the holidayseason is traditionally one of the busiest for firedepartments. There are many contributing factors to the increase in fire emer-

gencies during this time of the year. The most common cause ofhouse fires during the holidays is unattended cooking, and some-one should always be in the kitchen when a heat-producing ap-pliance is in use.In recent years many people have opted to deep fry their holiday

turkey in an outdoor propane fryer. Cooking in this manner canbe dangerous and several precautions must be taken.Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Inc., the non-profit company that

places the UL labels on all sorts of products to verify that theymeet certain safety requirements, does not certify any model ofturkey fryer, stating that, "Based on our test findings, the fryersused to produce those great-tasting birds are not worth the risks."Should you decide to use a turkey fryer anyway, here are some

common causes of fire and injury related to these devices, asprovided by the UL:-Many units easily tip over, spilling the hot oil within the

cooking pot. -If the cooking pot is overfilled with oil, the oil may spill out of

the unit when the turkey is placed into the cooking pot. Oil mayhit the burner/flames causing a fire to engulf the entire unit. -Partially frozen turkeys placed into the fryer can cause a

spillover effect. This too, may result in an extensive fire. -With no thermostat controls, the units also have the potential

to overheat the oil to the point of combustion. -The sides of the cooking pot, lid and pot handles get danger-

ously hot, posing severe burn hazards.For those that insist on using these turkey fryers:-Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors a safe distance

from buildings and any other material that can burn.-Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or in garages. -Make sure the fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce acci-

dental tipping. -Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have ther-

mostat controls. If you don't watch the fryer carefully, the oil willcontinue to heat until it catches fire. -Never let children or pets near the fryer when in use. Even

after use, never allow children or pets near the turkey fryer. Theoil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot, hours afteruse. -To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer. -Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot

or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyesfrom oil splatter. -Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with

marinades.-Oil and water don't mix, and water causes oil to spill over, caus-

ing a fire or even an explosion hazard. The National Turkey Federation recommends refrigerator thaw-

ing and to allow approximately 24 hours for every five pounds ofbird thawed in the refrigerator. Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water

to extinguish a grease fire. Remember to use your best judgmentwhen attempting to fight a fire. If the fire is manageable, use anall-purpose fire extinguisher.If the fire increases, immediately call NSA Naples emergency

dispatchers at 081-569-4911. Dispatchers may be reached fromgovernment phones by simply dialing 911. All fires in NSA Naplesfacilities must be reported, even if they have been extinguished.During the holidays, your chances of being involved in a house

fire increase. It is imperative to practice fire safety to help ensurethe holidays are safe and enjoyable. Where is your fire extin-guisher? When was the last time you tested your smoke detec-tor?The NSA Naples Fire Department wishes all a safe, happy

Thanksgiving. If you have any questions, feel free to contact thefire prevention office at 626-6626, or 629-4488.

By Donald W. Warnick, Fire Inspector NAVSUPPACT Naples, Italy

The Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) was changed Nov. 1 toprovide an incentive to Sailors and civilians on long-term tem-porary duty assignment (TDY) to seek out extended-stay lodg-ings.The change to a flat rate will help the Department of Defense

(DoD) save more than $22 million a year and is in keepingwith what many federal agencies already outline for reducedtravel rates for longer stays.Here are five things you need to know about flat rate per

diem:1. Long-term TDY is any temporary duty longer than 30

days. Travel from 31 to 180 days will receive a flat-rate perdiem of 75 percent. For travel greater than 180 days, the flat-rate per diem will be at 55 percent. Flat rate will apply to allthree parts of the per diem - lodging, meals and incidentals.2. When staying in government lodging, a traveler will be re-

imbursed for actual lodging costs. The flat rate per diem doesnot apply when government lodging or contracted governmentlodging is available and directed, when contracted govern-ment lodging is provided at no cost, or if a traveler chooses tostay in government quarters.3. Currently the Defense Travel System (DTS) does not au-

tomatically calculate the reduced per diem based on thelength of the TDY. Travelers should follow their componentguidelines for how to handle TDY in DTS.4. Travelers may consider furnished apartments or similar

types of lodging, which are typically cheaper than the stan-dard room rate at commercial hotels. This policy change alsosimplifies travel expense management as you will not be re-quired to submit lodging receipts or itemize utilities and fur-niture rental when renting a home, if receiving the flat rateper diem.5. You still have options if you are unable to find extended-

stay lodging within a reasonable distance of the duty location,or if additional costs arise. You may work with your approvingofficial to do actual-expense authorizations, which may goabove the flat-rate per diem to 100 percent, if needed. At notime should travelers end up paying out-of-pocket for author-ized TDY expenses.For further information visit www.defensetravel.dod.mil.

The Wildcat boys finished 6th overall in the Divi-

sion I team standings, defeating their former Divi-sion II rival Supreme Headquarters Allied PowersEurope (SHAPE) by 18 points.

With Naples and SHAPE out of division II, Amer-ican Overseas School of Rome (AOSR) easily se-cured a Division II championship.Team Results: Patch 32, Wiesbaden 67, Ramstein

67, Vilseck 126, Lakenheath 130, Naples 137,SHAPE 155, Kaiserslautern 180. The Wildcat girls also ran an impressive race.

November 14, 2014 11

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), ViceAdm. Dixon Smith, hosted a Warrior Care Month recogni-tion ceremony at the command headquarters atrium, Wash-ington Navy Yard, Nov. 3. Command employees attended the event, which included

a video presentation about the Navy's wounded warrior careprogram along with special remarks from guest speakers in-cluding Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Office ofWarrior Care Policy, James Rodriguez, and Chief LogisticsSpecialist Averill Malone.Capt. Brent Breining, Navy Installations Command's

Navy Wounded Warrior-Safe Harbor program director wel-comed guests and gave remarks about the importance of theprogram. "This year's theme 'a show of strength' recognizes the for-

titude and resiliency wounded warriors exhibit on their jour-ney towards recovery," said Breining. "It is our hope thatthis event will instill a greater appreciation for the lifetimeof support that Wounded Warrior-Safe Harbor provides."Following the national anthem sung by Naomi Howell, a

civilian employee with the command, and invocation by com-mand chaplain, Cmdr. Phillip King, Smith spoke brieflyabout the relevance of having programs like this and thebenefits of spreading the word."This month serves as an opportunity to recognize

wounded warriors in all services, as well as those who carefor them, for their service, sacrifices and achievements," saidSmith. "We have a responsibility to take care of our Sailorsand Coast Guardsmen and get them back to fighting form."Rodriguez expressed his gratitude for those who support

the program, the benefits the program provides, and howanyone can be affected regardless of age or length of service. "This program is not just for the young or inexperienced,"

Rodriguez shared. "I want to highlight Chief Malone, one ofthe Navy's senior leaders, who has actually stood up andsaid 'I need help. I need assistance," said Rodriguez. "Wehave the programs to help him and that's what's important."Malone, the keynote speaker for the event, suffers from

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from deployments toIraq in 2007 and 2008. He has been in the Navy for morethan 20 years and following his deployments struggled withhis symptoms alone because he did not know where else toturn. After a violent family event he decided to get treatmentfrom the Wounded Warrior-Safe Harbor program."I was having nightmares and was afraid of loud noises

and I kept asking for help," said Malone. "They said I could

have PTSD but back then I didn't know what PTSD was."Malone brought his daughter with him to the ceremony

and said he owed his success in the struggle with PTSD toher and his wife. "They played referee between me and the world," said Mal-

one. "They made sure I didn't watch certain movies and keptpeople who came to the house from slamming doors andthings like that. It's because of her and my wife that I'm stillhere."Malone's comments about his family and their support

helping him through his darkest times roused applause fromthe more than 75 attendees.In 2013 Malone checked himself into Walter Reed National

Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and joinedthe Wounded Warrior adaptive sports program, which of-fered a variety of activities. Shortly after, he fell in love witharchery and painting."I was looking at the other guys and saying that I couldn't

compete with them," said Malone. "I told a friend of minethat I didn't think I could do it and he said, 'it's not aboutwinning, it's about recovery,' and that became my mantra."Malone competed in the 2014 Warrior Games at Colorado

Springs, Colorado, and won a bronze medal in archery,which was neatly displayed on an easel with his art workduring his presentation.The event concluded with a cake cutting ceremony and

poster-signing opportunity.In 2008, then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates desig-

nated November as Warrior Care Month in order to in-form members of the military and their families andcommunities about the programs and initiatives cur-rently being provided through the Warrior Care systemand the forthcoming improvements. Throughout the month of November in Washington,

D.C., and throughout the Department of Defense, The Of-fice of Warrior Care and all services' wounded warriorregiments will highlight a variety of wounded warriorprograms and activities, including stories of recovery, andpersonal triumphs. Warrior Care Month is not only aboutwhat is being done for our nation's wounded, ill and in-jured service members, but also about what they do forus, how they continually give back to our communities,their families, and our nation that they have sacrificedso much to protect.For more information about Warrior Care Month activ-

The Navy made aviation history Nov. 3 as an F-35CLightning II carrier variant Joint Strike Fighter con-ducted its first arrested landing aboard an aircraft carrieroff the coast of San Diego. Navy test pilot Cmdr. Tony Wilson landed F-35C test air-

craft CF-03 at 12:18 p.m. aboard USS Nimitz's (CVN 68)flight deck.The arrested landing is part of initial at-sea Develop-

mental Testing I (DT-I) for the F-35C, which commencedNov. 3 and is expected to last two weeks. "Today is a landmark event in the development of the F-

35C," said Wilson, a Navy test pilot with Air Test andEvaluation Squadron (VX) 23. "It is the culmination ofmany years of hard work by a talented team of thousands.I'm very excited to see America's newest aircraft on theflight deck of her oldest aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz."Commander, Naval Air Forces, Vice Adm. David H. Buss,

was aboard Nimitz to witness the milestone event. "What a historic day today is for Naval Aviation. With

the first traps of the F-35C Lightning II aboard an aircraftcarrier, we begin the integration of the next generation ofwarfighting capability into our carrier-based air wings,"said Buss. "This important milestone is yet another indi-cator of Naval Aviation's ongoing evolution to meet futurethreats and remain central to our future Navy and Na-tional Defense Strategy."DT-I is the first of three at-sea test phases planned for

the F-35C. During DT-I, the test team from the F-35Lightning II Pax River Integrated Test Force (ITF) hasscheduled two F-35C test aircraft from Naval Air StationPatuxent River in Patuxent River, Maryland to perform avariety of operational maneuvers, including various cata-pult takeoffs and arrested landings. ITF flight test opera-tions also encompass general maintenance and fit tests forthe aircraft and support equipment, as well as simulatedmaintenance operations. As with the initial testing of any new aircraft, the goal

is to collect environmental data through added instrumen-tation to measure the F-35C's integration to flight deck

CNP Holds All Hands Call By MCSA Brandon Davis, USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs

Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) Vice Adm. Bill Moran and enlisted advisor Fleet Master Chief April Beldoheld an all-hands call for Sailors assigned to USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and Pre-Commissioning UnitUSS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, Nov. 5.Moran and Beldo spoke to the almost 2,400 Sailors about their responsibilities while in the shipyard and

provided additional information about uniform changes, pay and benefits, manning and the direction ofthe future Navy. Moran also took questions from Ford and Lincoln Sailors in a town-hall format.A growing concern of long deployments and the impact on families was a common topic."I know that long deployments are a concern for many of you," said Moran. "As long as we have commit-

ments in the Middle East and around the world, coupled with a backlog of ship maintenance, we will haveeight or nine month deployments, but we're making real progress on shortening them. As we catch up onthe maintenance we should see most ships return to traditional deployment lengths in the next year or so."Moran also discussed a little known option for Sailors who need career flexibility or time off work varying

reasons, a sabbatical for Sailors."There's a program called the Career Intermission Program (CIP)," said Moran. "This program is for

Sailors who need to handle personal business. You can take up to a three-year break in service, but forevery year you take, you give us two years back. We want to grow the program, allow Sailors across thefleet to use CIP for needed career flexibility--to start a family, go to school, take care of elderly parents orwhatever they deem necessary."Moran closed out the all-hands call with a discussion about trust, encouraging leaders at all levels to

create an environment where trust runs up and down the chain of command.Lincoln is currently undergoing Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding, a

division of Huntington Ingalls Industries.Lincoln is the fifth ship of the Nimitz class to undergo a RCOH, a major life-cycle milestone. Once RCOH

is complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically advanced Nimitz-class carriers.

operations and to further define the F-35C's operating pa-rameters aboard the aircraft carrier. The ITF test team will analyze data obtained during

flight test operations, conduct a thorough assessment ofhow well the F-35C operated in the shipboard environ-ment, and advise the Navy to make any adjustments nec-essary to ensure that the fifth-generation fighter is fullycapable and ready to deploy to the fleet in 2018."Our F-35 integrated test team has done an amazing job

preparing for today. This will be one landing out of thou-sands more that will happen over the next few decades,"said Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan, F-35 Program Executive Offi-cer. "For months, we've been working with the Nimitzcrew, Naval Air Forces, and our industry partners, Lock-heed Martin and Pratt & Whitney, as well as their suppli-ers, to prepare and train for this event. We plan onlearning a lot during this developmental test and will usethat knowledge to make the naval variant of the F-35 aneven more effective weapons platform."The F-35C combines advanced stealth with fighter speed

and agility, fused targeting, cutting-edge avionics, ad-vanced jamming, network-enabled operations and ad-vanced sustainment. With a broad wingspan, reinforcedlanding gear, ruggedized structures and durable coatings,the F-35C is designed to stand up to harsh shipboard con-ditions while delivering a lethal combination of fighter ca-pabilities to the fleet. The F-35C will enhance the flexibility, power projection,

and strike capabilities of carrier air wings and joint taskforces and will complement the capabilities of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, which currently serves as the Navy'spremier strike fighter.By 2025, the Navy's aircraft carrier-based air wings will

consist of a mix of F-35C, F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers electronic attack aircraft, E-2D Hawkeyebattle management and control aircraft, MH-60R/S heli-copters and Carrier Onboard Delivery logistics aircraft.The successful recovery of the F-35C represents a step

forward in the development of the Navy's next generationfighter and reinforces Navy-industry partnership goals todeliver the operational aircraft to the fleet in 2018.

For Petty Officer 3rd Class JazminThomas, the abuse started with words;harsh words that began to eat at her fromthe inside out. "I'm the only one who couldever love you." "You are just something tolook at." "Come over here, house slave." "Noone would ever want something like you."Rather than just breaking her body, which

she has been able to recover from, he alsobroke her mind, heart and spirit, which sheadmits she's still trying to put back to-gether. "I remember we were arguing and it got

out of hand, he picked me up and shook me,then he threw me half way across the roominto the wall," said Thomas. "I slid downand bounced off the edge of the bed. Hecame, rolled me on my back and put hisknee on my arm. Having 100 pounds overme, it hurt! Then he choked me and whis-pered in my ear that I was his and only his,then he kissed me on the cheek and told mehe loved me. I got up and it was like the onlything I heard was him saying he loved me.It was like I missed everything before that.I'm happier now without him but it hasn'tbeen that long. I fear eventually, I'll give inagain."Sometimes she said she still looks back

and can see all the warning signs. "I stayed as long as I did because I was so

brainwashed into believing that I couldnever be with anybody else."Domestic abuse cuts across all religions,

sexual orientations, age groups, and socialclasses, including ranks. Victims can besailors as well as spouses/intimate partners.Navy leaders may encounter sailors expe-

riencing distress as a result of domesticabuse. Abuse is preventable and is oftentreatable if addressed promptly. Throughprevention, Navy leaders can promote fam-ily resilience and sailor mission readiness.Therefore, knowing how to prevent abuseand respond to reports of abuse is crucial tomission readiness."The command plays a significant role in

the prevention of abuse by establishingclear standards for personal behavior, pro-viding early detection of potential problemsand intervention before abuse occurs," saidLolita Allen, LCSW Family Advocacy Pro-gram (FAP) Analyst, Commander, Navy in-stallation Command. "Leadership is criticalin establishing a climate that promotes pre-vention by encouraging Sailors and theirfamilies to take advantage of services andprograms.""Commands need to be more supportive,

especially when it comes to emotionalabuse," said former Chief Petty OfficerDena Hargrave, who has been documentingher abuse for more than a decade. "My soon-to-be ex-husband is still active duty mili-tary. His command takes his word for whatgoes on between us despite my official re-ports and documentation. There has neverbeen a proper investigation and this leavesthe victim feeling helpless and at a loss."Hargrave has filed reports twice with FAP,

but said they need to do more for victims ofemotional abuse."They are mostly focused on physical

abuse because emotional abuse is often toodifficult to prove. They realize that there isa problem, but are unsure what to do. It'snot just the abused who needs help, but alsothe abuser. If the cycle is going to stop thenmore needs to be done to rehabilitate theabuser."FAP assists Navy leaders, who may not

understand the dynamics of domestic vio-lence, by providing victim advocacy, clinicalcounseling and case management services.When victims of abuse contact the pro-

gram, trained, experienced clinicalproviders and/or Domestic Abuse Victim Ad-vocates are available to assist them with es-tablishing and maintaining safety,providing them with resources and creatinga support plan that empowers him/her. "I was covered in bruises on a regular

basis, had multiple busted lips, a bustednose, and even a gun placed to my head,"said Chief Petty Officer Teresa Alvarez. "Ialways heard of women in abusive relation-ships and thought that I would never let aman do that to me. Yet here I was. He was amanipulator that broke me down little bylittle and ‘put me in my place’ through phys-ical and mental abuse. He took me home tomeet his parents and even abused me in hisparents' home. His mother had to stop him.I would go into work and would pray thatsomeone would see my bruises and questionthem but no one ever did. Two years into therelationship I decided to try leaving again.In a blink of an eye his hands were aroundmy throat. The force that he came at mewith caused the couch to flip and I was nowstruggling on the floor thinking to myselfthis is it. I just wanted to get out alive." Alvarez was able to leave and eventually

purge him from her life, "but not a year goesby without me thinking that I should havedone more to stop this person from hurtingsomeone else. What I didn't realize then isthat the weak person is really the one in-flicting the physical and mental abuse."Domestic violence doesn't just affect you, it

affects everyone around you who love andcare for you, said Chief Jessica Myers. "My mother would cry, in constant fear that

she would one day receive a call with devas-tating news," said Myers. "Thankfully oneday I had enough strength to say "no more"and took a stand to finally change the homeenvironment for my children and myself. Be-coming a single mother was challenging, butI made it work. I would much rather live on atighter budget and know my home was safe,vice living in misery. "It would have been amazing if someone

would have believed me when I did tellthem," said Hargrave, who eventually had togive up her Navy career to gain more controlover her life. "My command was supportive,but many knew and didn't want to interfere,so I kept a lot to myself.""My advice for anyone going through this

alone and in silence is to seek assistance,"said Myers. "Life is too short to continuallyfeel miserable, alone, and afraid. Verbalabuse is just as bad, if not worse, than phys-ical abuse -- both leave a lasting mark. Noone has the right to make you walk on eggshells in your own home, or to tear down yourself-esteem. You must take control of your lifeagain. But you cannot do it alone. Utilize theprograms offered to you and seek help. Youwill feel so much better when you do. ""Commands should take all reports of emo-

tional and verbal abuse seriously and con-tact the Family Advocacy Program to makean official report," said Allen. “Determiningwhether the report initiates the process fordomestic violence is a Family Advocacy Pro-gram responsibility. Commands should re-port all allegations of abuse. FAP personnelare available to assist Navy leaders in ap-propriately responding to reported acts ofabuse, to include emotional abuse.”Congress created a task force on domestic

violence to help service members get the

help they need. This task force made nearly200 recommendations for improving themilitary response to domestic violence. Manyof these recommendations have now been im-plemented, including alternate reporting op-tions for victims. In 2005, the DoD instituted the restricted

reporting option. Adult victims of domesticabuse now have two reporting options: unre-stricted reporting and restricted reporting.

UNRESTRICTED REPORTINGUnrestricted reporting supports effective

command awareness, prevention programsas well as law-enforcement and criminal-justice actions that maximize accountabilityand prosecution, as appropriate, of domes-tic-abuse offenders. Victims of domesticabuse who want to pursue an official com-mand or criminal investigation of an inci-dent should use the unrestricted reportingchannels, including chain of command, FAP,or law enforcement.

RESTRICTED REPORTINGThe restricted reporting process allows an

adult victim of domestic abuse, who is eligi-ble to receive military medical treatment,the option of reporting an incident of domes-tic abuse to a specified individual withoutinitiating the investigative process or noti-fication to the victim's or offender's com-mander.Each of the services has continued to

strengthen its protocols for protecting vic-tims and holding batterers accountable. The Navy Domestic Abuse Victim Advocate

(DAVA) Program provides services to vic-tims of domestic violence. Within FAP, the DAVA provides a broad

range of services to military-affiliated vic-tims of domestic abuse. Advocacy services

are provided with the goal of increasingvictim safety and autonomy.Services include responding to victims'

emergency and ongoing safety concerns andneeds; providing information on programsand services available to victims and theirchildren in both civilian and military com-munities; and providing victims with ongo-ing support and referrals."Reservists are required to attend the

same annual GMTs and maintain the samemission readiness standards, but educationon these important programs rarely tricklesdown from the active component to the Re-serve component," said Myers. "Perhaps if Ihad known about programs that dealt withdomestic violence, I may have sought helpsooner, rather than the violence escalatingto the point of him being permanently re-moved from the home and our divorce beinggranted on the basis of physical and mentalcruelty.""Fighting back is hard," said Hargrave.

"Keeping your head up as a victim is verydifficult. It happens to so many people, maleand female. Be aware that you are not pow-erless! Educate yourself, and support yourshipmates. Most importantly know you arenot alone."If you are in an abusive relationship, con-
