When a weather advisory pops up on your OneNet computer, there’s an intri-cate system behind this keeping people informed of emergencies aboard Naval Station Rota.

This system, known as the mass emer-gency notification system, is a wide area alert network, which serves as an umbrella for two interoperable systems. The first is the computer desktop notification system and the second is the wireless audio-visual emergency system.

Before any message or notification is sent out, radar on base constantly sends information to Sembach, Germany where it’s monitored and interpreted. If bad weather is on the horizon, the information is sent to the assistant command duty of-ficer and they will notify eight departments within Air Operations. The ninth phone call goes to the command duty officer, and this individual does a 360-degree review of base and decides if the advisory is valid or not. If he or she decides the weather is indeed bad, they call dispatch and tell them to send out a weather advisory.

There are two types of messages that can be sent out: informational or emer-gency. An informational message is usually comprised of weather advisories. An emer-gency message will be relayed if there is an active shooter, flooding, or gate closures.

Either of these messages is programmed to pop-up on OneNet computers.

“The goal is that the people [who] are working get the message,” said Richard Peterson, the emergency management of-ficer. “If you’re standing gate guard or doing a duty outside or doing maintenance on the airfield, you need to know if hazardous or destructive weather is coming. Also, being that we notify everyone on base with gov-ernment cell phones, people in positions of leadership get the message and can rest assured that their personnel are getting that message as well. So in some ways it’s comforting for the leadership to know their people got the message and it’s comforting for those people to get the message before the weather turns bad.”

Peterson admits that the system can be somewhat limited at times because not everyone has access to OneNet computers such as the personnel at U.S. Naval Hos-pital Rota, those on the Forward Deployed Naval Forces ships, and the Air Force. However, Peterson has the ability to manu-ally add personnel into the system and is working on adding personnel by the end of February. For family members whose active duty spouse is deployed or unavail-able, they can obtain information from their command ombudsmen. Ombudsmen have been manually added to system and

Rota Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) introduced Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS) 2.0 to Naval Station Rota leadership during a workout session at the Fitness Center, Jan. 30.

NOFFS is a complete active duty fitness program that en-compasses all elements of daily activities and work for the modern day Sailor. Starting with a solid foundation of fitness, strength, and nutrition and expanding into flexibility, mobility, lifestyle aware-ness, agility, fitness knowledge and much more, the revised version of NOFFS focuses on operational readiness instead of just being fit.

NAVSTA Rota Commanding

Officer, Capt. Greg Pekari kicked off the session by welcoming leadership from various tenant commands aboard NAVSTA Rota including U.S. Naval Hospital Rota, USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), and Navy Environmental Preventative Medicine Unit 7.

“We talk about physical fitness - being fit or not being fit - and how it’s going to impact our op-erational readiness, our mission readiness,” Pekari said. “I think it’s something that - especially some of us [who] are less young, have been in the Navy for a good amount of time - you see that and what the impacts are. More sick time, people are down because maybe they’re not in good physi-cal condition so therefore their immune system isn’t up where it needs to be and then it’s just

a downward spiral. I think what they see from us, and that is our junior enlisted and even our junior officers, in the gym as busy as all our schedules are, at least they see that we are putting the time in to come to the gym and stay fit.”

During the morning introduc-tion, fitness staff introduced the three new series: strength, fitness, and nutrition by walking through the sandbag exercises, strength bands, and meal planning.

“It’s bounding, it’s not just run-ning. It’s plyometrics, which they may need to do that if they need to jump out of the way. It’s more mission ready, operational ready and less just fitness ready,” said Fitness Director, Laurie Allard.

Team Rota,I hope everyone had a relaxing and fun-filled Valentine’s

weekend, and that you’ve come back a bit re-energized for the last couple of weeks of February. This past week marked the one-year anniversary of USS Donald Cook's (DDG 75) arrival in Spain. I want to thank the crew for their hard work and dedica-tion over the last 12 months as well their steadfast commitment

to our nation’s security through the wide range of operations they’ve been tasked with throughout the Region. I also want to thank the Naval Station Rota community who has welcomed the ship, its Sailors, and their dependents into our fam-ily here.

As we continue to grow our Forward Deployed Naval Forces throughout the rest of this year, I want to encourage everyone to reach out and welcome our new Sailors and their families to Naval Station Rota. This spring, USS Por-

ter (DDG 78) is scheduled to arrive and then USS Carney (DDG 64) will make the move late summer/early fall. Our Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) staff has stood up a Spouse-to-Spouse Sponsorship Program, which links inbound dependents with families already living in Rota. Overseas moves are always a big endeavor, and this program is a great opportunity for you to use the knowledge you’ve gained during your transition and time over here to help out families preparing to do the same. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, please reach out to our friends over at FFSC at 727-3232.

As I’ve mentioned in the more recent issues of The Coastline, European Command has incorporated more force protection measures on military bases throughout the Region. This is not a result of a specific threat to our area, but an increased awareness for our personnel serving overseas. These mea-sures have put an increased workload on our already busy

Security Department but, like always, they continue to meet the challenges placed on them. Their commitment to keeping the base and its families safe is unparalleled. As they perform their jobs, whether it be checking IDs at the gate or enforcing child drop off areas around the school, I urge you to approach these situations with patience, professionalism, and understanding. They are doing their jobs and have my full support to keep you and your loved ones safe.

I understand from time to time the community has concerns and I want to assure you of our commitment to address those issues. If you do have questions or comments about anything happening around the base, we have official methods for ad-dressing these issues - not the unofficial Facebook pages that sometimes don’t always put out the most correct information. I encourage you to reach out to the Public Affairs staff (their contact information is on this page) or utilize our Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) system as a means of getting an accurate response. Our Town Hall Lives are also a great op-portunity to get information right from the source and ask your question directly to our base service providers in person. Our next Town Hall will be held at La Plaza, Feb. 26 at 11 a.m. If you can’t make it to the event in-person, you can always listen on AFN’s Radio Rota 102.5FM or check out Naval Station Rota’s official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/USNaval-StationRota) for live updates throughout the event.

Spring is nearly upon us and with that comes an abundance of events out in town. We’re finishing up Carnival then we have Holy Week/Semana Santa the last couple days of March and first few days of April. Participating in the local customs and im-mersing ourselves in the culture is one of the benefits to serving overseas. I urge you to get out in our local communities and experience some of the great things our Spanish hosts have to offer. Years down the road, you’ll look back on your time here and remember all the outstanding times you had or regret those opportunities you didn’t take advantage of. Please don’t fall into the latter category.

Be safe, have a great rest of the week, and thank you for all the great work you’ve been doing!

1. Before drying clothes, sort them by fabric types. Lightweight synthetics, which dry quickly, should not be dried with bath towels and natu-ral fiber clothes, which take longer to dry.

2. When dry-ing clothes, don’t add wet items to a load of partially dry clothes.

3. Dry loads of clothes consecutively in the dryer to take advantage of the heat still in the dryer from the previous load.

can act as repeaters to relay the message to respective commands/tenant commands, said Peterson.

“Emergencies can happen at any time,” said Pe-terson. “Navy family members are the Navy’s most valuable resource.”

If someone goes 90 days without inserting their common access card (CAC) in their computer, they’re deleted from the system. If someone is on temporarily assigned duty somewhere or has another valid reason, they can come back, contact emergency services, and enter their data one more time. Despite being able to manually add people into the system, Peterson com-monly runs into another issue.

“If I create a manual entry for someone, there is no mechanism to track that time,” said Peterson. “If the individual doesn’t check out with me, their information remains in the system. Whoever gets the phone number afterward may not want to get these messages.”

Peterson personally pre-loads people’s data into the system after he sees a CAC has been inserted into a

OneNet computer. You should receive an email with instructions for registration.

This program is mandatory for active duty military, government employees, and government-issued phones. Peterson hopes to increase the number of registered personnel through his Intercultural Relations Course presentations, which provides a thorough break-down of emergency services and how it works.

Active duty and civilian personnel with OneNet ac-cess have the ability to add their dependents and their dependent’s contact information into the system. Go to the toolbar on your OneNet computer, click the up ar-row, click the purple globe icon, and then select “update my devices.”

Peterson also stressed importance of personnel updating their information and taking responsibility by ensuring their contact information is accurate.

“It’s really important for us to know that they’re doing their part” by updating their contact information, said Peterson. “If they’re doing their part then we’ll be com-municating so much more effectively as a community.”

For more information contact the Emergency Man-agement Department at 727-1677.

“The strength piece as far as functional because it’s a sandbag you may be carrying your buddy out of battle or helping move something, that’s what the envi-ronment that you’re going to be in so it’s more functional related to operational. It’s really operational, not functional.”

NOFFS 2.0 is an update featuring new workouts and

stretches with input culled from around the fleet, said Allard. The newest addition, the sandbag, is designed to provide weight training to Sailors who may not have free weights available. It also helps them get accustomed to handling unstable objects and having the agility to do so.

“They did gather a lot of feed-back from the field and they decided they wanted to add in the sandbag series. They [also] really wanted to focus on regen-

eration because that’s a missing piece, which is the recovery and hitting those trigger points that you may have in your muscles that you don’t even know,” Allard said. “By using the tennis ball or the foam roller or the stretch bands you’re going to say, ‘wow, instead of the 10 Navy stretches that they always do, we should be doing some of these things to help reduce injuries.’ To find out where some muscle weaknesses are or maybe some pain is that

you’re not even aware of - be-cause of body awareness - and then to work on those areas, so that’s a big piece of it.”

Rota MWR is rolling out the training to all Sailors in February and March. In addition to the live training, Navy Fitness created an app with the workout series avail-able for the on-the-go Sailor. The app is a compact way to carry the workout series without having to carry cards or books showing how to safely and effectively

conduct the exercises. Currently only available for Apple products the app can be downloaded from http://www.navyfitness.org.

“It’s really pushing the leader-ship and it’s good to see you all continue doing that and to let your people know that it is important at least three times a week to get out and go to the gym and workout,” Pekari said. “It is an education piece that what we take here we’ll take back to the troops. It starts with us.”

Cholesterol: it is a word often tossed around in conjunction with heart health and overall health, but how many truly understand what it is and why too much is bad for you?

Cholesterol itself is not bad and is actually one of the substances our body uses to keep us healthy. It is a waxy substance that is in some of the food

we eat (most commonly found in meat, egg, and dairy products) as well as being produced in the liver. Some may wonder, if it is produced in our bodies how can it be bad? Too much cholesterol can lead to a plaque build-up in the arterial walls, making it more difficult for blood to circulate. Over time these build-ups can lead to blood clots, which puts one at risk for heart attack and strokes.

According to recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 71 million Americans have bad cholesterol, and that works out to

over 1/4 of the entire American popula-tion. Some factors for high cholesterol are a family history of high cholesterol, as well as heart attacks in men under 50 and women under 60.

A family history of strokes is another prevalent symptom for high cholesterol. The American Heart Association recom-mends testing your cholesterol every five years after turning 20. If you, or some-one you know has had issues with high cholesterol, be sure to contact your medi-cal care provider for further information, so that you can stay Healthy for Life!

Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali: Two champions from two monu-mental eras in the American 20th century.

It doesn’t take a boxing histo-rian or sports fan to be familiar with the sound of those two names. The American 20th century is filled with stories of courage and perseverance of many African-Americans. And for many reasons.

Tremendous accomplish-ments and progress were made that brought positive change to American society. The gradual changes and improvements that increased as decades passed were in large part due to the spectacular awareness and attention that these two men

brought to the American stage. The explosion of radio and television as means of mass communications played a criti-cal role in raising their profile. As men and historical figures, they were symbols of their time. As fighters in the ring, they were larger than life.

The ‘30s and ‘40s were two of the most challenging decades for Americans in history due to the Great Depression and World War II. A time period marked by the most severe economic depression in American history, along with the costliest war in lives. As in the case of tough times, America deeply embraced heroes who symbolized courage, hard-work, honesty, and resolve. These were qualities that Joe Louis represented in and outside of the ring.

As the longest-reigning cham-pion in boxing, he held the heavyweight championship for 12 years with his devastating power-punching and accuracy. Many of Louis’s fights against his opponents carried huge racial, social, and political implications, especially his two fights against Germany’s Max Schmeling, who was touted by Adolph Hitler.

Understanding the gravity of many of these fights, and his role as a representative of American ideals were tremendous motiva-tors in training and in preparation before entering the ring. Display-

ing highly visible patriotism, he enlisted in the Army during the war and participated in many fundraising and morale boosting events.

Nearly 20 years later, another African-American fighter, like Joe Louis, took the world by storm, but in a very different way. As well as possessing a completely new style and quality, Muham-mad Ali brought levels of excite-ment and drama unheard of until his time.

An amazing specimen at 6-feet, 3-inches and 210 pounds, he possessed the speed and reflexes of a much lighter fighter, while maintaining his heavy-weight punching power. Ali’s impact on society has been immeasurable. After winning a gold medal in the 1960 Olympics, he dominated the heavyweight division until he was stripped of his heavyweight title for refusal to enlist in the Army during the Vietnam War on the basis of “conscientious objection.” A decision that was highly contro-versial, by a man who was no stranger to controversy due to many of his antics.

Regardless of how one viewed his social position and in the face of many who questioned his moral fortitude, the resiliency, courage, and composure he dis-played in the boxing ring against men like George Foreman, Joe Frazier, and Sonny Liston is the

stuff of legends. Speaking from personal expe-

rience, there is no feeling quite as terrifying, and exhilarating, as lacing up some gloves in a square ring in front of hundreds of people, and looking at an-other fighter’s eyes before the bell rings. As a fight fan and a history buff, the stories of these

men with their strengths, flaws, struggles, and victories have been a great inspiration to me, and many others. Life itself is a fight full of ups and downs, and like these two champions, others may be watching how we handle life’s struggles and will also be inspired, just like I have been. By these two champions.

Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) 7 announced Feb. 12, the successful comple-tion of their first round of force health protection training courses for Navy public health professionals in the Africa and European Command theater of operations.

Graduating the first class of students in December represents a significant milestone for the recently re-established NEPMU 7.

NEPMU 7 was commissioned July 2014 and is now fully staffed and providing services to ships, installations, and deployed forces. Among these services are six Cata-log of Navy Training Courses (CANTRAC), each leading to a certification either in public health pest management, food safety for supervisors, or shipboard sanitation. The first of these courses held aboard Naval Station Rota in early December included a two-week public health pest management refresher course and a two-day shipboard pest management course.

The shipboard pest management course provides shipboard medical staff with the knowledge and skills to prevent infestations or control insects aboard naval vessels at sea. Additionally, the course serves as a prerequisite for the Shipboard Sanitation Certificate Program course certification that is required for per-sonnel conducting inspections and issuing Shipboard Sanitation Control Exemption Certificates (SSCEC) to the fleet. A current SSCEC is required for ships to pull into foreign ports.

“It was the best Shipboard Management Course I have attended,” said Lt. Cmdr. David Veenhuis, envi-ronmental health officer at NEPMU 7.

The positive reviews of the course are in large part due to the cooperation between NEPMU 7 and the Navy Entomology Center of Excellence (NECE) located in

Jacksonville, Florida. The unit received programmatic support and guidance from NECE’s training officer and CANTRAC pest management course manager, Dr. James English, who was on board to assist in provid-ing instruction as well as to field test the new course curriculum.

NEPMU 7 will next be offering the Department of Defense (DoD) public health pest management recer-tification course Tuesday and Wednesday, designed to recertify preventive medicine technicians, entomologists

and other DoD pest management professionals in public health pest control. The recertification of current pest controllers is required every three years. The courses offered by NEPMU 7 make it easier to keep certifications up to date and ensures commanders have trained and skilled staff aboard who can identify and address public health issues before they get out of hand.

You ever have one of those times; maybe a day, a week, month or so, where you feel like, “Dear God, when is this going to end, how much more can these people take?” I have, and I have to be honest, it

was one of the most hor-rific and yet inspiring mo-ments I have ever been a part of.

I recently had the privi-lege of going up to North-ern Spain to respond to the F-16 Greek fighter jet crash that took place. Heading up there I knew that what we would see and hear would be bad. I

knew that emotions would be all over the place, I even knew that there would be some who would need more help than we could give them in just the short amount of time provided.

I’ve been counseling now for about 20 years. One thing that experience has taught me, no matter how you try and picture it in your mind, nothing can ever fully prepare you for all the crisis of life. Nothing, that

is, except the grace and peace that comes through our Lord.

In that one week, I met U.S. service members who truly are ‘American heroes.’ While I was there, working alongside these ‘heroes’ I was reminded of the words spoken by the Apostle Paul.

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never aban-doned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed,” 2 Corinthians 4:8 to 9, New Living Translation (NLT).

You see, in life we all go through crisis. We all go through what I like to call, “the mess” of life. My experi-ence has been that no matter who you are, no matter what you’re dealing with, God is always there to lift us up and help us through whatever life has thrown. It might not be the pressures of a plane crash. Maybe it’s the stressors of a deployment; maybe its dealing with the kids and bills while you’re Marine or Sailor is on deployment … maybe it’s the mess of living in a country where you are still not familiar with the customs and the language. Guess what? God is still with you.

Hard times tend to either crush and bring us to our

knees, or challenge and push us forward. It’s hard to keep going when you’re going through a tough time, but I can honestly say that I have never felt like God was not with me. My family and I have been through some tough times but God has always been there.

There is a belief in psychology. It’s called, the “Law of Belief.” The Law of Belief states that whatever I be-lieve, with feeling, tends to become my reality. It goes on to say that I will always act in a manner consistent with my beliefs. In other words, whatever I think can either hold me back or limit me, or it can energize me and push toward growth.

So, the question I have for you today is, are you pressed on every side? Are you facing some of the mess of life and feel alone? Be encouraged my friends, God is still on your side. It was our God who said in Psalms 37:17 to 20, those who cry out to Him, He hears our prayer … And here is the best part; He delivers us from all the troubles, and pressures and mess of life. Don’t ever give up!

ET3 Telissa BolesTeam Rota in the Spotlight

A native of Conway, South Carolina, Electronics Technician Telissa Boles joined the Navy in February 2013. Af-ter completing basic training in Great Lakes, Illinois, she attended Electronics Technician “A” School in Great Lakes, Illinois for 11 months. Afterward, she attended a “C” School for weather equip-ment for three months in Biloxi, Missis-sippi. In March 2014, she arrived in Rota, Spain and joined the Ground Electronics Maintenance Division of Air Operations.

Boles works as a maintenance spe-cialist and can be found maintaining communications and weather equip-ment in the air tower or on the flight line. Additionally, she conducts cor-rective and preventative maintenance. She also figures out which parts for the communications and weather equip-ment needs to be replaced and orders and troubleshoots them to make sure they’re working correctly.

“[My job] takes me out of my comfort zone and I’ve learned a lot since being here,” Boles said.

Outside of work, Boles is very in-volved in the community. She’s part of the Naval Station Rota booster club, diversity committee, the color guard, and numerous other volunteer activities. She was also selected as the Junior Sailor of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2015.

Boles said her biggest accomplish-ment thus far is realizing how much she has changed since being away from home and learning how to adjust to anything, especially being overseas.

A poem that has significantly helped her adjust since her time in the military comes from William Arthur Ward: "Do more than belong: participate.

Do more than care: help.Do more than believe: practice.Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget.Do more than dream: work.”

Upholding a culture that supports seeking help as a sign of strength is an all hands effort that is built upon trust, one of the five Principles of Resilience. This trust must be cultivated between Sailors and their leaders through ongoing engagement and support, which will in turn help Sailors trust in the many resources available to them should they need additional care.

As we continue to make progress in breaking down the barriers that may prevent Sailors from seeking help for psychological health concerns, commanders must ensure that they are acting in ways that support Sailor wellness while enhancing unit readiness.

To that end, Navy Suicide Prevention and the Bureau of Navy Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) recommend that all commanders familiarize themselves with the policies in place to balance their need to monitor the welfare of their unit with the confidentiality protections that medical providers must adhere by in the best in-terest of Sailors. In order for Sailors to gain maximum

benefit from mental health care services, they must feel reasonably certain that the details they share with a provider will remain private, helping to mitigate the potential decision to not to seek assistance out of fear of consequences. Line leaders and providers share in the responsibility of upholding Sailors’ rights and promoting recovery.

Department of Defense Instruction 6490.08 provides guidance on information flow to balance the challenges between patient-provider confidentiality and the rights of commanders, outlining the level of detail a commander can access to ensure the well-being of their unit mem-bers and maximize unit readiness.

Based on this instruction, BUMED’s Psychological Health Advisory Board has developed a graphic out-lining communications between the line and medical communities which is now available on the Suicide Prevention website (http://www.suicide.navy.mil) and can be found below. This graphic provides at-a-glance information on topics such as notification to commands, clarification of the minimum notification standard, best

practices for sharing mental health information and additional resources. This tool is not only useful for commanders to facilitate a closer understanding of the decision-making process providers must adhere to, but for key personnel (such as suicide prevention coordinators) to help dispel misperceptions among their shipmates regarding mental health treatment.

To facilitate productive dialogue - and trust - be-tween providers and commands, line leaders should seek to develop ongoing relationships with local health providers. Proactive discussion about policies and procedures will better serve both the commander and provider when making key decisions and determining ongoing support needed for Sailors during and beyond the reintegration process. Most importantly, Sailors will feel more comfortable seeking the resources available to them knowing that their leadership has a full under-standing of what can and cannot be discussed. This is yet another way we can take proactive measures to improve the lines of communication and support every Sailor, every day.

1) Open an Internet search engine.2) Search for “Rapids Appointment Scheduler” then

click the first search result.3) Click Make an Appointment. Under the Find an

OCONUS Identification Card Issuance Office drop tab, select Spain and press the GO button.

6) Fill out the information for the customer - it is imperative that you provide contact information in the event the machine crashes, and we need to notify you.

Important Information:Appointment slots are designed for one person per

appointment time. For families that need multiple cards and/or enrollments, select a separate time slot for each family member.

All customers need to bring two valid forms of identification (passport, driver's license, etc.). Copies of photo ID cards are not acceptable. If no forms are available, biometric validation is authorized.

Dependents must bring their sponsor to sign DD Form 1172-2 (PSD can assist family members with filling out this form on site). The sponsor must be physically present to sign for each family member to receive their ID cards. If sponsor is deployed, depen-dents may enroll family members into DEERS and be issued ID cards with a valid power of attorney. In cases of geographically separated sponsors and dependents, sponsors may sign the DD Form 1172-2 at another RAPIDS site and have it scanned into the system. The dependent may then be helped at any RAPIDS site for an ID card. A fillable form may be found online at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/smartcard/images/DD1172-2.pdf.

Civilians/Contractors must have DD Form 1172-2 filled out and signed by their Human Resource Office (HRO) prior to getting their new CAC. The HRO does not have to be present at the time of CAC issuance. The sponsoring agency must have a signed DD 577 on file.

Children are no longer considered dependents at the age of 21 unless enrolled as a full-time student by

a learning facility. Once a child turns 21, an Enrollment Verification Form issued by the learning institute must be provided at the site where the child’s ID card is is-sued. It must include the place of study, indicate that the dependent is a full-time student, and provide the projected graduation date. A child is no longer eligible to be a dependent at the age of 23, even if still enrolled in school. ** TRICARE Young Adult Program enrollees may be issued an ID card up to the age of 26. Certain restrictions apply.

Active duty military shall be in the uniform of the day when taking a photo for an ID card.

If any ID card is lost, a voluntary statement is re-quired to be issued a new card. This statement is is-sued by Security. There is no appointment necessary to be issued a voluntary statement.

Adding a spouse or child into DEERS requires a certified original or copy of marriage certificate/birth certificate in the English language.

CAC/ID Lab hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the last appointment at 4:30 p.m.; appointments are in 30-minute increments.
