The Coastline

Members of Commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF) 68 welcomed a new com-modore during a change of command ceremony at the Gateway Theater aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain, Aug. 27.

Capt. Gregory Sandway was relieved by Capt. Joseph Polanin, while Com-mander, U.S. 6th Fleet, Vice Adm. Phil Davidson presided over the ceremony.

“Task Force 68 got the job done ev-eryday in an exceptional fashion,” said Davidson. “All of the accomplishments that Task Force 68 have enjoyed would not happen without superior leadership. The men and women of this team were prepared to execute this wide-range of missions because of the tremendous work of Captain Sandway. We asked a great deal of you in this job and you always delivered. For the last two years, your leadership as the commodore has been inspiring and your entire team has performed admirably.”

Sandway led CTF 68, which is com-prised of approximately 1,100 Sailors and Marines from Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8, numerous Naval Mobile Construction Battalions (NMCB), Marine Corps Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team (FAST) Company Europe, Mobile Expedition-ary Security Squadron (MSRON) 3, and Underwater Construction Team (UCT) 1, since August 2012.

“I don’t think there’s a better qualified expeditionary leader than Joe [Polanin],” said Sandway. “I’ve personally known Joe for 15 years and I can tell you he embodies expeditionary leadership and he understands the joint expeditionary fight. He is a well-seasoned expedition-ary professional with numerous tours. You have a wonderful team in front of you and it’s with great pride that I turn them over to you for your leadership.”

“I look so forward to serving with each of you and to what we can accomplish together,” said Polanin. “Together Task Force 68 will innovate, adapt, and over-come every contingency. They know

that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, it must be protected, and it must be passed on for our children to do the same. We will do so because we are entirely devoted to our core values and to those who gave their last full measure of devotion so we might live.”

CTF 68 conducts explosive ordnance disposal operations, naval construc-

tion, expeditionary security and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. na-tional interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

This September, our nation will mark the 13th anniversary of 9/11. The Emergency Management Department and Naval Station Rota have committed to participate in Nation Preparedness Month (NPM) in September, an event founded after 9/11 to increase preparedness. The event, now in its 11th year, is a base-wide, month-long effort hosted by the Ready Campaign and Commander, Navy Installation Com-mand’s (CNIC) Ready Navy Campaign, encouraging service men and women, households, and communities to prepare for emergencies.

This year’s theme is, “Be Aware, Take Action to Prepare.” Rota's Emergency Management Department is participating this year by holding its annual training for NAVSTA Rota personnel, joining American Forces Network (AFN) Rota for five separate radio spots, main-taining a display at the commissary through Sept. 30, and writing weekly articles highlighting different areas of disaster preparedness.

One of NPM’s key messages is: be prepared in the

event an emergency causes you to be self-reliant for three days without utilities and electricity, water service, access to the commissary or local supermarket or any other local service, and possibly without response from police, fire, or rescue. Preparing starts with three important steps:

1. Make an emergency supply kit.2. Make a communications plan for what to do in

an emergency.3. Be informed about emergencies that could hap-

pen in your community, and identify sources of infor-mation in your community that will be helpful before, during and after an emergency.

Preparedness is a shared responsibility; it takes everyone to be aware. This year’s National Prepared-ness Month focuses on turning awareness into action by encouraging all service members, Department of Defense (DoD) personnel, and our Spanish neighbors to make an emergency preparedness plan. For more information about making a plan visit the Ready Cam-

- Only 57 percent of people report that they have readiness items set aside for their homes in case of disaster.

- In 2003 a European heat wave swept through Spain. It was the hottest summer on record since 1540 with 141 deaths reported in Spain. Jerez de la Frontera reached 106-degrees Fahrenheit (41-degrees Celcius) and in Seville, a record high of 115.9-degrees Fahrenheit (46.6-degrees Celcius) was reported.

- Just 34 percent of people have readiness supplies in their car.

- Oct. 11, 2008 NAVSTA Rota responders assisted the local community after a massive thunderstorm pounded the area with more than 10 inches of rain and winds in excess of 92 mph.

- Less than half of households have an emergency plan and yet 42 percent of individuals report that they would need help during a disaster.

- Dec. 18, 2008, a waterspout made landfall in the Las Palmeras portion of housing, knocking down trees, damaging roofs, and moving vehicles.

The month of September marked the beginning of this year’s Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Originally established in 1961, the CFC program - to include the abroad portion called CFC Overseas - is the world’s largest workplace charity cam-paign and is the only authorized solicitation of military service members and civilian employees stationed at home and abroad on behalf of approved charitable organizations. The number

of participating non-profit charitable organizations worldwide is estimated at over 20,000.

There are thousands of non-profits that depend on CFC funding and are in jeopardy of having to cut programs and services to those who need it most, including affected military families. Contributions could come right back to your base for morale and welfare programs, it can help animals or the environment, or it can go to charities that deal with life-threatening illnesses like cancer, HIV, or Alzheimer’s disease.

There are booklets available that list the charities that have qualified for CFC participation. There are strict guidelines that must be met in order for a charity to get funds from the CFC and this ensures that your money gets to those who need it. The charities listed in the booklet should have less than 20 percent administrative overhead, which means at least 80 cents out of every dollar the charity receives goes to work. The actual overhead of the charities is listed in the booklet if one wishes to find out. If you do not specify a charity, your money goes into a general pool that is paid out to all the charities listed.

Any donation helps. Many of the organizations cannot con-tinue to operate without the generosity of contributors. During this time of budget reduction and fiscal constraints, your strong support of causes and organizations that resonate with you can inspire others. For the booklet or more information about CFC Overseas, visit http://www.cfcoverseas.org.

Lastly I want to thank the extreme dedication of our CFC volunteers - representatives from the more than 25 tenant com-

mands on this base. Your service to this worthy cause does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your time and energy. Also, I want to thank ahead of time the generosity of the uniformed and civilian men and women serving overseas here in Rota. A small contribution can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Have a great week everyone!

BALTIC SEA - Sailors from Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8, based at Naval Sta-tion Rota, Spain, and Patrol Squadron (VP) 4, based at Naval Air Station Sigonella, are participating in Exercise Northern Coasts 2014 (NOCO 14), which began Sunday.

NOCO 14 is a German led, Finnish hosted mul-tinational maritime exercise, consisting of separate explosive ordnance disposal, special and maritime operations.

The exercise includes underwa-ter mine countermeasure, counter improvised explosive device, and anti-submarine warfare events designed to improve interoperability between U.S., allied and partner units.

During the exercise, Sail-ors will work side by side with counterparts from allied and partner nations on land, at sea and in the air. Sailors will become familiar with each other's military tactics, techniques, and procedures in order to achieve greater interoperability when conducting combined peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, or when countering global or regional threats to maritime safety and security.

The primary focus of the U.S. portion of the training will be on counter-improvised explosive device, under-

water mine countermeasure, and anti-submarine warfare tactics, techniques, and procedures.

Northern Coasts is in its sixth year. Participating nations include Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and the U.S.

This is a routine training exercise and is not associ-ated with, or a reaction to, any real world events.

EODMU 8 provides an operational explosive ord-nance disposal capability to locate, identify,

render safe, recover, field evaluate and dispose of all explosive ordnance as

directed by commander, Task Force 68 in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

VP-4 is part of commander, Task Force (CTF) 67. CTF 67 provides support to U.S. 6th Fleet, Naval Forces Europe-Africa, NATO, and unified commanders to conduct anti-

submarine warfare, maintain domain awareness, enhance

regional stability, promote coop-erative maritime safety and security

and conduct overseas contingency operations.

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval opera-tions, often in concert with allied, joint and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, 2014 – The Veterans Affairs Department has named September National Suicide Prevention Month, but the Defense Department (DoD) continues its year-round, comprehensive, multi-pronged approach to address the issue of suicide in the military, a Pentagon official said.

Army Lt. Gen. Michael S. Linnington, military deputy to the Undersecretary of Defense for personnel and readi-ness, said DoD will broaden suicide prevention programs and resources to increase awareness, prevention, and understanding across the force.

Leadership focus“Suicide prevention is about taking care of each other

and that’s a responsibility leaders have to focus on year-round, daily, weekly, monthly … not just in the month of September,” Linnington said.

According to the Department of Defense Suicide Event Report, the 2012 suicide rate [expressed as a number per 100,000 service members] for the active component was 22.7 and for the Reserve components was 24.2. Across the services in 2012, 155 soldiers committed suicide, as did a total of 57 airmen, 59 Sailors, and 47 Marines.

DoD will focus on total force fitness programs to build mental, physical, and spiritual resilience in service members and their families with a focus on training and education for leaders and teams across the military to proactively recognize suicide signs and encourage com-munication.

Access to medical careAdditionally, DoD will continue to direct efforts to en-

hance medical care, the general said. The department, he said, “has spent a tremendous amount of leader attention and resources on improving access to care, the quality of care and the ability of service members to seek care in an anonymous nature if that’s what they choose to do.”

Linnington stressed the importance of leaders under-standing the array of medical and resilience resources and their entry points.

Help for service membersMilitary Crisis Line and Military OneSource, he noted,

are among the many resources that demonstrate the partnership between DoD and the VA, and give service members an anonymous ability to call-in or engage in online chats to access immediate help.

Newer peer-to-peer networks such as Vets4Warriors have also emerged as valuable resources, he said.

In many instances, however, the first people service members can go to for help can be members of the mili-tary family, the general said.

“Having walked in our shoes … I think it’s clear that service members are comfortable around those that serve with them and have shared experiences,” he said.

No stigmaThere should be no stigma attached to seeking help,

Linnington said.“Getting help when you need it is not only a sign of

strength, but it works,” he said. “Having the confidence to seek help when you need it is important.”

Linnington also championed positive, energetic, com-mand climates at all levels.

Leadership support“If leaders support the rehabilitation and resilience of

their service members, then … that opens the door for service members to go out and seek help,” he said.

The general debunked the notion that seeking help could negatively impact a military career.

“One suicide is one too many and leaders throughout the military will do whatever it takes to prevent suicide,” he said.

Psychological WellnessWe often focus on physical wellness,

but our mental or psychological wellness is an important component of our overall health. Using mental training strategies helps build psychological toughness, which is critical to strengthening readiness and overall health. The following strategies help build and maintain psychological toughness.

Focus on your breathing. Slow it down and breathe deep from the belly to help regroup, focus, and get energy.

Stay calm. Use mental imagery to create a positive and peaceful place for you to go in your mind. Imagine being in the woods, at the beach, or any place that is peaceful and relaxing for you. Absorb all the positive sights, smells, and sounds from this place and return calmer and refreshed. Laughing can help with distraction and can help through tough times.

Feed the positive, not the negative. Focus on what is going well and don’t get trapped in a negative perspective.

Have grit. Find the commitment, perseverance, and determination to achieve your goals. Build and maintain your psychological toughness, and stay Healthy for Life!

FroM uSnHr HeaLtH proMotionSAmericans today rely on their vehicle on a daily basis. As fuel prices become higher

it has become normal to look toward purchasing fuel-efficient vehicles. There are many alternatives you can do if you don’t have a fuel-efficient car, or you can improve the efficiency on a car that does get good gas mileage. Below are some tips on how to stay fuel-efficient to save money and keep you safer in your car.

One of the easiest things anybody can do to get better gas mileage is to remove the extra-added weight from your car. We all have items in the backseat or trunk that was needed at some point but just haven’t removed them from the car. An extra 100 pounds of junk in your car can reduce your fuel efficiency up to 2 percent. This number may seem small but when you add this up to multiple weeks and numerous fill-ups this can get costly. Another simple tip is to be sure your tires are properly inflated. Inflating your tires properly not only saves fuel but it’s safer and can make your tires last longer; doing this can increase your gas mileage by up to 3 percent. You can usually find the recommended tire pressures for your vehicle on a sticker on the driver's side door frame, on the tires, or in the owner’s manual. Another great way to save fuel and possibly make some new friends is to carpool. Not only will it save you fuel but it will help decrease emissions.

Now that you’re fuel friendly-minded in your vehicle there are some safe driving practices can help you save fuel. For starters, don’t start your car until you are ready to move. An idling car wastes fuel. While idling you are getting zero miles to the gallon! Aggressive driving is not only dangerous but it can be detrimental to your wallet. Rapid acceleration and speeding can reduce your gas mileage as much as 33 percent on the highway and up to 5 percent in the city.

Aiming to ensure your vehicle is fuel-efficient is not only smart on your wallet but will help you be a safer driver. A Smart Car is not for everyone, so follow these tips and you can help put dollars back in your wallet. Save money and save energy.

As a reminder to all hands, the shipment of alcohol through the U.S. Postal System is unauthorized. Labeling the shipment as "olive oil" or similar makes

the offense more egregious. Not only is it against regulations and can result in a postal offense/loss of postal privileges, it also causes loss/damage of other mail as these items usually break and leak over other items. Please share this with your family members as we have had official records (including medical records) ruined and other people's personal items dam-aged as a result of people attempting to ship alcohol through the mail system.

You never know where inspiration can come from. A few weeks ago, I was reading USA Today and I noticed a small article on USS Houston (CA-30). The photo showed a group of Sailors placing a wreath of flowers

on the rolling sea. I want-ed to know more about the ship so I did a search on the Web and discov-ered that the Houston, a Northampton-class heavy cruiser launched on Sept. 7, 1929. She received her commission as CA-30 on June 17, 1930. Spanning more than a decade, the Houston protected Ameri-

can interests around the globe. After initial operations in the Atlantic and Gulf of

Mexico, Houston made way for the Pacific in early 1931 to become the flagship of the Asiatic Fleet. She served in that role until November 1933, spending considerable time in Chinese waters, protecting U.S. interests during the conflict between China and Japan. As the heaviest unit of the Allied naval force in that area, she was actively employed in the desperate struggle against the Japanese East Indies offensive. At one point, an enemy bomb disabled her gun turret

on Feb. 4, 1942, but the Sailors remained in the combat zone, fighting off air raids and taking part in the battle of the Java Sea on Feb. 27. After a long fight and with heavy damage and casualties, Houston was ordered to leave the area.

Steaming in company with the Australian light cruiser Perth, she encountered a fortified Japanese naval force near the Sunda Strait. As the day wore on, a Japanese destroyer squadron blocked the Strait. Unable to withdraw, Houston continued to engage the enemy. It was reported that the men manhandled the shells from damaged rear turrets to the forward guns. Her captain was killed by a bursting shell around 12:30 a.m. Eventually, she was torpedoed, began to lose headway, and slipped beneath the surface. All 1,068 Sailors and Marines on board were presumed dead after the sinking. But when the war ended in 1945, 291 Sailors and Marines who had survived and were taken prisoner were repatriated to the US. In the article, the U.S. Navy confirmed that a wreck found on the bottom of the Java Sea was in fact the USS Houston. Accord-ing to the Navy, the wreck is the final resting place of as many as 700 U.S. Sailors and Marines. Survivors of the USS Houston nicknamed her "the Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast."

As I read about this old ship, I found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into her story. I discovered

that her commanding officer, Capt. Albert Rooks, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the high-est U.S. military decoration, for extraordinary heroism during the battle. I also read about USS Houston's Chaplain, Cmdr. George S. Rentz. As the ship began to sink, Rentz found himself in the sea with several other Sailors, holding onto a floating piece of debris. Being overloaded, Rentz offered his life jacket to a wounded Sailor. He told them, "you men are young; I have lived the major part, and I am willing to go." Rentz attempted to leave his jacket and float away, but he was brought back by the others. In the water, he prayed and sang hymns. Eventually, the chaplain placed his life jacket near a wounded Sailor who had none, and quietly slipped into the sea. For his gallant actions in the face of death, Rentz was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. Sometime later, a guided-missile frigate, the USS Rentz (FFG 46), was named in his honor.

After reading the story and looking at the old, faded pictures of the ship, the captain and it's chaplain, I was moved with emotion and reminded of the passage in the New Testament which says, "greater love has no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends,” John 15.13. This story is a living testimony to that pas-sage. Let us strive to be that kind of friend! If you're looking for a friend or would like to speak to a chaplain, call 727-2161.

DC2 David BooneTeam Rota in the Spotlight

A native of Detroit, Michigan, Damage Controlman 2nd Class David Boone joined the Navy in 2008. Af-ter completing basic training in Great Lakes, Illinois, he attended Basic Engineering Common Core “A” School in Great Lakes until February 2009.

In April 2009, Boone arrived at his first command, USS Roosevelt (CVN 71) in Norfolk, Virginia. He stayed there for five years before transferring to Rota, Spain in March 2014.

Boone is a part of the Emergency Management Department where he works as a dispatcher. He works 12-hour shifts and stands watch inside dis-patch, which is located in the security building on base. Here, he works in tandem with the security department to monitor activity on base. In particular, he manages the fire alarms as well as the trouble alarm systems. If a fire breaks out on or off base, or an alarm goes off, he dispatches the fire department to that location.

“It has its ups and downs,” said Boone. “But it’s a nice change of pace sometimes, and it’s different.”

Boone said his biggest accomplishment thus far is making second class petty officer in his rate and moving up in leadership.

Boone said his motivational quote for lifting weights is from Henry Rollins, “Friends may come and go. But 200 pounds is always 200 pounds."

There is a little town that lies just an hour outside of Brussels, Belgium. The cobblestone streets are narrow such as the canals that cut through the town’s center in an almost unplanned network of waterways. Rooted structures of businesses and dwellings align in rows hemming the calm waters as boats full of tourists

snap pictures and horse drawn carriages rattle along the uneven roads constructed lifetimes passed. And a charming village it is. A charm, ironically, that only maintained its pristine appeal by suffering through centuries of poverty. Nearly untouched since its Golden Age, not modified nor updated to the varying modern trends in architecture passed down through the decades, Brugge is a medieval town untouched that somehow lasted through the centuries and all the calamities that come with human idleness, such as modernizing and war. Brugge actually narrowly escaped a massive bombing by the Nazis in WWII because a German officer refused to bomb the pictur-esque town; something the locals have inscribed into legend as one of two miracles that saved their town from total destruction.

When I visited Brussels - that unique city that could easily be identified through its savory gastronomy, wide assortment of beers, and a statue of a little boy peeing - the existence of Brugge’s charm eluded me. It was only when I returned back to Spain that a friend had inquired of my travels north and if I had visited

Bruja (Spanish for Brugge, which coincidentally means witch). After declaring my ignorance, he showed me image after image of an anachronistic town that exuded beauty and graceful allure from a simpler era.

It took eight months before I found myself in northern Europe again, but this time my wife and I were visiting Amsterdam. We found a bus that would take us to Brugge in three hours - two hours more than if we had traveled from Brussels. It was our best, albeit only, chance to finally visit Brugge and we were not about to miss it a second time. I had suspected the trip to be uncomfortable and long, but with the low lying lands of the Netherlands unfolding before us in varying hues of green and giant windmills turning in their process

of irrigating the lands, it was difficult to be annoyed by tight quarters.

After the bus dropped us off we remained with the tour group only so long as to determine the meeting time and location for departure. Our taste buds began to dance in anticipation. Re-turning to Brugge is like a kid going to a candy shop after eating only broc-coli for a week. You don’t count the calories, you simply allow yourself to forget the judgmental voices in your head and gorge yourself on all the delectable flavors Belgium offers. And only after temporarily satiating our appetites on steamed mussels and fries we began to me-ander through the ancient walkways of Brugge.

All those images my friend showed me from before of Bruja were now alive in front of me. It was almost like walking through a favorite painting. Everywhere I turned was a mental portrait I could easily frame and mount on a wall. Stone structures with modern businesses and century-old family restaurants lined every street while an extensive plaza unfolded into a picturesque and tranquil setting. The canal tour, however, is by far the best attraction you

could encounter. Unlike Amsterdam or Copenhagen or even London, Brugge is much smaller and so too is their network of canals and boats that float them. The canal boats are still elongated and lie low in the water, but they are an open boat, which allows for a certain connection to the village from a point of view that can-not be experienced by foot. We floated under several

walkway bridges as ducks and swans languidly moved from the path of our overfilled vessel.

I wish I could have spent a week there, just eating and drinking and being

merry in an environment that sheds stress as if it were a thick winter jacket. But in the end, we were there only for the day and we had to catch our bus.

I do not know why the Span-ish call that charming town by the name of Bruja. Maybe it’s a simple

repurposing of a word - like many Spanish words I know - or possibly

there is another legend I simply am unaware of. What I do know is that the

town certainly possesses a bewitching at-traction, a magnetism that draws on a deeper

level of every tourist.
