We encourage all of our Housingresidents to set up outside the doors of your building, or just inside if theweather doesn’t cooperate. This will help keep kids safe and not forcethem to trek up and down a lot of stairs in their costumes. We don't wantany falls while the kids are out trying to have a good time. Please ensurewe secure trick or treating in Housing by 2100 to be respectful of ourneighbors.

Spooktacular is sure to be a great time and I heard we had a few thou-sand visitors at last year’s event. We’ll have a hayride, a maze, music,plenty of food vendors and some fun contests. Also, our Seabees will onceagain be building their renowned haunted house. So come out and checkout all the different groups and organizations at their trick or treatingbooths, get some free candy and have a great time.

A little sooner than Halloween is Tuesday’s Town Hall meeting at theSupport Site movie theater. I'll pass along current updates relevant to thecommunity and I look forward to answering any questions you might have.The Town Hall begins at 6 p.m. and is for all personnel and families as-signed to the Naples area.

The holiday season is right around the corner and I encourage everyoneto take advantage of the many opportunities we have to travel. Be smartand use common sense risk management before each trip. Plan them outahead of time if possible and always utilize a designated driver or publictransportation if you're going to drink.

Illegal Breeders Brought to Heel An illegal breeding kennel on a farm near Bacoli, Naples,

was seized by police on Tuesday. Many dogs, protected tur-tles and other animals were found living in appalling condi-tions. Expensive breeds such as Yorkshire terriers,Chihuahuas, Doberman Pinschers, and even five NeapolitanMastiffs, some of them blind, were jammed into rabbithutches without being able to move or drink. The farmer, hiswife and two children will be charged with animal abuse, il-legal breeding and selling of animals, possession of protectedanimals, sanitation and hygiene violations.

Severe Flooding Strikes Northern ItalyTorrential rains, high winds and floods hit Northern Italy

last weekend and continued to wreak havoc on Wednesday.More than 180mm of rain was recorded in Genoa, Liguria re-gion, with more than a month’s worth of rain, causing theriver Bisagno to break its banks. The destructive floods causedthe death of a man and millions of euros in damage. Residentswere angered that no alarm was raised and at the govern-ment’s failure to build flood safety measures, especially inlight of the 2011 disaster, when seven people lost their lives,and 35 million euros set aside for flood-prevention work dis-aster were not spent because of legal wrangling and bureau-cracy. The government has announced the release of 95million euros for flood protection work on the Bisagno River.Many volunteers, known as “mud angels," have been workedto clear up the mud in the flood-hit city. The emergency alertwas lifted Tuesday morning following a let-up in the torrentialrainfall that caused millions of euros in flood damage. Parma,Emilia Romagna region, suffered severe flooding at the sametime as Genoa. The Baganza River broke its banks and leftpart of Parma buried in mud. More than 30,000 Italian pro-sciutti were swept away in dirty flood water which also threat-

ened crops, a farm group announced. Torrential rains andflooding also hit hard in Maremma, Tuscany, where two sis-ters died when their car was swept away after the Elsa Riverburst its banks. Residents in the town of Orbetello werealerted via text message and asked to move to the upper floorsof their houses; other residents living in high-risk areas wereevacuated. Meanwhile, northeastern Italy was hit by heavyrains and a woman was killed after a landslide destroyed herhouse in the province of Trieste.

Village Celebrates CentenariansMontemaggiore Belsito, a village near Palermo, held a spe-

cial celebration to honor nine centenarians, whose agesranged from 100 to 102. The secrets to longevity in this townof just 3,500 residents have been credited to fresh air, thebeautiful environment and natural spring waters. The oldestliving person in Europe is a woman from Verbania, in Pied-mont region who will turn 115 in late November.

Raiders of the Lost ArtSpecial art police recovered about 15 million euros stolen

art including the historic Pantheon by Pannini and theLamentation by Giovanni Battista Caracciolo, known as IlBattistello. The Pannini was recovered from a bank vaultand the Lamentation from an antique shop in Cagliari, Sar-dinia. Carabinieri also discovered two sarcophagi datingfrom the first and third centuries A.D. The Lamentationpainting was stolen in 1980 from D’Avala Castello of Valva,near Salerno and investigations is ongoing into how it endedup in the Cagliari dealer. The Pannini was traced throughSwitzerland after it had disappeared during restoration.More than 1,300 archaeological art works were recoveredand many of them will be returned to the owners, the Cara-binieri said.

There is a sense of history gainedwalking the streets of Hamburg. ArtNouveau buildings still line manyboulevards, the churches can be down-right medieval and even places com-pletely destroyed in the World War IIbombings were rebuilt exactly as theyhad been, reinforcing the feeling thatHamburg found its style a long timeago and has worked hard to keep it.

That’s what drew me to the Free andHanseatic City of Hamburg in the firstplace. Established in 1189 A.D. as aHoly Roman Imperial Free city andone of the principal cities of theHanseatic League which dominatedNorth and Baltic Sea trade for cen-turies, Hamburg has centuries of his-tory behind it. Practically recreatingitself at the end of the nineteenth cen-tury the town has blocks of ware-houses, apartments and other

A Weekend of Architecture and History in Hamburg

Story and photos by

MC1 David R. Krigbaum

hamburg’s Rathaus (City hall) was built in 1886 and is one of the finest pieces of architecture in town.

The Speicherstadt (Warehouse City) was built between the 1880s and1927. Many of the old warehouses have been converted into museumsand attractions.

Art Nouveau and other turn of the century construction abound in hamburg, even though much had to berebuilt after World War II.

buildings in the popular styles of thatday and it feels like that’s still themainstay ‘traditional’ architecture ofHamburg today.

The finest piece of architecture intown is undoubtedly the Rathaus (CityHall). At a glance the massive Neo-clas-sical hall is very ornate and beautiful,the basic design is symmetric but look-ing longer and more closely reveals lay-ers of small, unique details throughout.

The surrounding neighborhood is alsofull of characterful buildings fromaround the turn of the century and in-cludes two very old churches, St. Jacobi(St. James) and St. Petri (St. Peter’s).Originally built hundreds of years agoand rebuilt several times since, they’regrandly scaled with high spires thatmade the medieval peasants look to-wards the heavens whether theywanted to or not. Besides St. Petri, theHulbe-Haus is a quirky place worth amoment to appreciate its oddball deco-ration and fanciful design. Another

standout is the Hauptbahnhof (Cen-tral Train Station) with its combina-tion of Art Nouveau and Neo-classicalelements.

The Landungsbrücken, or St. PauliPiers, on the Elbe River-front is one ofthe main tourist thoroughfares andwhere I spent a good deal of my trip.Landungsbrücken is a reconstructionof the pier’s early 1900s shipping sta-tion but now houses souvenir shopsand restaurants such as the Hard RockCafé and Blockbrau, which brews itsown brand of Munich-style wheat beerin the restaurant. Home to numerousstreet performers and the constantflow of travelers coming and goingfrom river tour boats makes Landungs-brücken a lively place.

Shipping has been a defining featureof Hamburg since the beginning, so it’sfitting that it has two preserved cargoships as museums, the Rickmer Rick-mers at Landungsbrücken and thenearby Cap San Diego. Rickmer Rick-mers is an 1890’s steel hulled tall shipand the Cap is from the 1960s, the con-trast of the two showing how far ship-ping technology had advanced in 60years. Down the waterfront from thosetwo is a Soviet Tango-class attack sub-marine, U-434. Though it has nothingto do with Hamburg it was still fun tocrawl around a submarine that was anenemy vessel when I was born.

Hamburg has few view-obstructingskyscrapers and the church towers stilldominate the skyline as they havesince there was a Hamburg. Thismakes the tower of Hauptekirche St.Michaelis (St. Michael’s), or “DerMichel,” the best place to take in thecity view from on high. The church’stower is one of Hamburg’s landmarksand is hard to truly appreciate it in itsscale. The tower is 132 meters (433feet) tall but from the ground didn’tfeel that towering because the entirechurch is massively proportioned mak-ing it appear almost “normally” sizeduntil you realize the doors are overtwenty feet high and the railing on thetower’s cupola is much taller than aman.

In the Speicherstadt (WarehouseCity) I came for the architecture, butstayed for the museums. Speicherstadtis the old warehouse district and is en-tirely composed of brick warehousesbuilt between the 1880s and 1927

along riverside canals. Many of thewarehouses are still used for storage,most noticeably by Speicherstadt’smany Oriental rug merchants butmany have become museums andamusements but maintain their origi-nal exteriors. Most of the museums aresmall and very focused, such as theSpeicherstadt Museum and Spice Mu-seum, except for the InternationalMaritime Museum which encompasses

an entire warehouse full of artifacts,maritime art and models on everythingrelated to ships and the men who sailthem. Visiting Hamburg museumsgave me a greater appreciation for theconveniences of our modern world as Ilearned Hamburg was heavily involvedwith importing expensive and exoticspices like cane sugar and black pep-per; luxury items you’ve probablynever tried.

After the crew manned the rails,Capt. Robert A. Hall Jr., command-ing officer of USS America, steppedforward to deliver his remarks.

"To the crew of USS America, asplankowners we've been grantedawesome responsibility and greatprivilege to send America out to seaon the right course," Hall said."You've worked extremely hardthus far to get her to this point,performing extraordinarily on ourmaiden voyage around SouthAmerica. I thank you for that in-credible effort, and I'll tell you, it'sjust the beginning."

Hall said the ship is named afterthe greatest country on Earth andspoke of the legacy America will carryforward.

"It's only the greatest country be-cause it values everyone's contribu-tions," said Hall. "It takes every oneof us doing our part, working to-gether, dedicating ourselves to pre-serving the ideals of freedom anddemocracy that make this countrygreat."

America is the first ship of its classand the fourth ship named "Amer-ica." The first America was origi-nally a racing schooner launched in1851 and served in the Navy until1873 before returning to civilianlife. In 1921, she was presented tothe Navy for preservation as a relicand remained at the U.S. NavalAcademy until being scrapped in1945. The second America trans-ported troops during World War I.The third ship to bear the name wasa Kitty-Hawk class aircraft carrier,CV 66, which supported operationsfrom the Vietnam War through Op-eration Desert Storm.

America weighs 44,971-tons, is 844feet in length and has an overallbeam of 106 feet. It's equipped with afuel-efficient, hybrid electric propul-sion system, the same built for USSMakin Island (LHD 8), which is anenergy initiative designed to give theship the benefit of increased range,endurance, and time on station, en-hancing its combat capability. It alsoprovides greater flexibility in sched-uling refueling and reduces mainte-nance costs.

The ship is optimized for aviationand will be capable of supportingcurrent and future aircraft, such asthe tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter. It was de-signed with additional aviation

USS America (LHA 6), the Navy'snewest and most technologicallyadvanced amphibious assault ship,was commissioned during a formalceremony at Pier 30/32 during SanFrancisco Fleet Week, Oct. 11.

More than 8,000 friends, familymembers and invited guests gath-ered in front of the ship to witnessits introduction to the fleet.

During the ceremony, Adm. HarryB. Harris, commander, U.S. PacificFleet, commended the crew fortheir performance during accept-ance trials and sailing aroundSouth America. He said becauseconflict and crisis can arise at anytime, warships like America will beneeded as the nation conducts itsstrategic rebalance to the Pacific.

At the conclusion of his remarks,Harris introduced Secretary of theNavy the Honorable Ray Mabus,who spoke of the importance ofhaving a ship named America jointhe fleet.

“This ship, forged in a shipyard inmy home state of Mississippi, withcomponents and systems and partsmanufactured all across this greatcountry, is a symbol of the long andhistoric links between the citizensof this country and our Navy andMarine Corps who defend them,"Mabus said. "Having a ship namedthe America, sailing the world'soceans, defending freedom andpeace and helping those in need, aswe have for more than two cen-turies, is crucial to America and toour Navy and Marine Corps."

Following Mabus' remarks, in atime-honored Navy tradition, Mrs.Lynne Pace, ship sponsor and wifeof retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen.Peter Pace, former chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff, gave theorder, "Man our ship and bring herto life!"

The crew responded by saying"Aye, aye, ma'am" and began run-ning toward the brow to man theship as the Navy Band Southwestplayed "Anchors Aweigh." Crewmembers took their places, side-by-side, manning the rails as theship's systems came online.Radars, weapon systems, and otherparts of the ship began moving tosymbolize the ship "coming to life."

USS America Joins the Fleet

Sailors and Marines from am-phibious assault ship USS Bataan(LHD 5) departed Naples, Italy,Oct. 14, following a scheduled portvisit.

This port visit served to continueU.S. 6th Fleet efforts to buildglobal maritime partnershipswith European nations and im-prove maritime safety and secu-rity. Bataan conducted this portvisit as part of a scheduled deploy-ment to the U.S. 6th fleet area ofoperations.

Bataan served as the platform fora reception hosted by Adm. MarkFerguson, commander, U.S. NavalForces Europe-Africa, for localNaples distinguished guests andU.S. Embassy officials, Oct. 11.The event provided Ferguson anopportunity to express his grati-tude for Italian support of the U.S.Navy.

"The Bataan, her Sailors and herembarked Marines represent thebest and brightest of America,"said Adm. Ferguson. "Her visit tothis historic city is indicative ofhow much the United Statesdeeply values our long-standingrelationship with Naples, theCampania Region and Italy."

While in Naples, Sailors andMarines participated in two com-munity relations (COMREL) proj-ects. COMRELs enable Sailorsand Marines to give back evenwhile deployed. At Franciscan Sis-ters of the Sacred Hearts, a chil-dren's home and pre-school,Sailors and Marines repaired andbeautified the playground and in-teracted with the school children.Sailors and Marines also helpeddistribute food at Sisters of Char-ity Soup Kitchen to people whovisited for a daily meal.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) conducted aremembrance ceremony for fallen service members of the October 12, 2000 terroristattack.

Paraded on the flight deck, the crew stood at attenton as the ceremony began at 11:18a.m., the exact time when suicide bombers detonated an explosive-laden boat directlyagainst the port side of the ship while refueling in Aden, Yemen. Seventeen Sailorswere killed and 37 were wounded as a result of the attacks.

The blast tore a 40-by-60 foot hole in the side of the ship. Sailors fought valiantly for96 hours, freeing shipmates trapped by twisted wreckage, containing flooding, andrestoring engineering systems vital to the ship's survival.

During the memorial ceremony, a 21-gun salute was fired and taps played to honorthe 17 Sailors who lost their lives in service to their country. A ceremonial wreath,made by Cole Sailors, was laid off the port side of the ship in memory of the Cole He-roes.

"Today we will honor 17 Shipmates, 17 Heroes. The spirit, honor, and courage repre-sented by these heroes lives in our crew's core values and in our determination to de-fend our great nation," said Cmdr. Dennis Farrell, commanding officer of USS Cole."Our ship will always be linked to the American resolve. My crew stands on the shoul-ders of our fallen shipmates, and we will never forget them and their families' tremen-dous sacrifices."

Chief Fire Controlman Andrea Ospina, who joined the Cole in 2002 and helped takethe ship out on its first deployment after the attack, spoke as guest speaker duringthe ceremony. She stressed that it was important to honor their legacy and remembertheir sacrifice, as Sailors are what makes a ship great.

After the ceremony, the crew gathered on the messdecks where several artifacts ofthe attack and pictures were displayed for them to pay further homage to those whowithstood the attack.

Cole, homeported in Norfolk, Va., is conducting naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleetarea of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

The following blog fromRear Adm. Jack Scorby,commander, Navy RegionEurope, Africa, SouthwestAsia, touches on the historical significance of

the establishment of theNaval Support Facility inDeveselu, Romania, and theassumption of commandthat comes along with it

In the next few days I will travelto Romania to be part of a uniqueceremony. I call it unique becausemilitary personnel are very famil-iar with change of command andchange of charge ceremonies.However, on Oct. 10, we will havea ceremony that is a combinationof a base establishment and an as-sumption of command. A base es-tablishment is special because thisbase will now transition from aconstruction site to an actualnaval support facility and the as-sumption of command will estab-lish it as a naval command. Thehonor of being the first command-ing officer will soon be handedover to Capt. Bill Garren.

It’s also historical in that the lasttime a new naval base was estab-lished was almost 30 years ago inEverett, Washington. Naval Sta-tion Everett began when then Sec-retary of the Navy, John Lehman,first proposed a New Puget Soundarea naval base as part of thestrategic homeport concept.

Fast forward to Sept. 17, 2009.President Obama announced theEuropean Phased Adaptive Ap-proach or “EPAA” in support ofballistic missile defense in Europe.This initiative underscores andenables deployment capabilities ata pace matched to the threat, andoffers Europe an effective defenseagainst short and medium-rangeballistic missiles.

Ballistic missile threats to theU.S. and our allies are real andgrowing. Fortunately, NATO’s ca-pabilities and defenses againstthese threats are also real andgrowing. We are working with ourallies, like our close friends here inRomania, to increase and adaptour capabilities as the threats toour common interests evolve.

The installation here in Deveseludemonstrates the value of havingU.S. forces forward deployed inEurope so that we can quickly sup-port and defend our allies. Andthis certainly ties into the CNO’stenets of operating forward andbeing ready.

Our commitment to the Euro-pean phased adaptive approach is

ironclad and I look forward to see-ing the completion of this site inlate 2015 and the completion of anearly identical site in Poland in2017. In addition to our new sites,we will also continue to add for-ward deployed Aegis ships in Eu-rope, to complement thePresident’s initiatives in supportof NATO.

With our forward deployed navalforces in Rota, Spain, Deveseluwill now render our systems evenmore robust and increase the levelof protection in Europe.

So what does that mean for thisbase? Naval Support Facility De-veselu will be a crucial componentin expanding the effectiveness ofNATO’s overall ballistic missiledefense system. It will also ad-dress the threat posed by shortand intermediate range ballisticmissiles to U.S., European and al-lied personnel and assets through-out the region.

U.S., NATO, and European alliesstand together to protect our citi-zens from the very real threat ofoffensive ballistic missiles. Our de-fensive partnerships with allieslike Romania, Bulgaria, Turkeyand Poland, just to name a few, arecritical to ensuring regional secu-rity.

No single nation can combatglobal threats alone. We must col-lectively share information, shareexperiences, and work together forregional stability.

Commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia established Naval Support Facility (NSF) Deveselu Friday, Oct. 10,during an establishment and assumption of command ceremony onbase.

NSF Deveselu, formerly a disused Romanian airfield, is the first Navybase to be established since Naval Station Everett in Washington,whose official groundbreaking ceremony was held Nov. 9, 1987.

The installation, scheduled to be operational in 2015, will be part of aNATO's overall ballistic missile defense (BMD) system.

Rear Adm. John Scorby, commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa,Southwest Asia, hosted the ceremony.

"This is a historic occasion because ballistic missile threats to the U.S.and our allies are real and growing," Scorby said. "Fortunately, NATO'scapabilities and defenses against these threats are also real and grow-ing."

Originally proposed in 2000 by then President George W. Bush, thisBMD system, or shield, named the "Aegis Ashore System," is a responseby the NATO military alliance to increasing threats posed by the amal-gamation of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Middle East.

Today the Aegis BMD system is the key component in the Obama ad-ministration's plan for a phased deployment of a missile defense um-brella in Europe, which is intended to protect U.S. forces and NATOallies from regional threats.

"Naval Support Facility Deveselu will be a crucial component in ex-panding the effectiveness of NATO's overall ballistic missile defensesystem," Scorby said. "It will also address the threat posed by short andintermediate range ballistic missiles to U.S., European and Allied per-sonnel and assets throughout the region."

The first of two proposed newly established bases, NSF Deveselu willutilize both a SM-3 missile interceptor battery platform and an AegisSPY-1 radar platform. The U.S. government said the SM-3 missiles willhave no offensive capability and only target incoming ballistic missileslaunched by hostile countries.

Capt. Bill Garren assumed duties as the first commanding officer ofNSF Deveselu.

"It's an honor to be here and have the opportunity to work with this international team of dedicated professional who are building the fu-ture of ballistic missile defense in Europe," said Garren. "We have a lotof work ahead of us but our future success rests on the shoulders of thisoutstanding United States/Romania team. So, we have all we need toexcel."

The land-based ballistic missile defense system in Romania will be almost identical to that used on Navy Aegis-capable guided-missile de-stroyers and cruisers. It's designed to detect, track, engage and destroyballistic missiles in flight.

Also contributing to the BMD system, are the Forward DeployedNaval Forces in Rota, Spain. The forward deployed Arleigh Burke-classguided- missile destroyers USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) and USS Ross(DDG 71) are the first of four Aegis BMD warships scheduled to bebased in Spain to bolster the defense system.

To further the scope and reach of protection of the region's defense, aNavy base, nearly identical to NSF Deveselu, will be established inPoland. "No single nation can combat global threats alone," Scorby said."We must collectively share information, share experiences and worktogether for regional stability. U.S., NATO, and European allies standunited in maintaining a Europe that is safe, secure and prosperous."NSF Deveselu sits on about 430 acres. The site will consist of a fire-control radar deckhouse with an associated Aegis command, controland communications suite. Separately, it will house several launchmodules containing SM-3 missiles and be manned by about 200 U.S.military per- sonnel, government civilians and support contractors.

The completion and continuedoperation of this base will take aconcerted effort from both the U.S.and Romania. We have a lot ofwork ahead of us, but we have thededicated people needed to accom-plish our goal of completing thisinstallation on time.

I want to thank everyone fortheir hard work and dedicationwhich has made the establish-ment of Naval Support FacilityDeveselu possible.

Navy establishes New base in romaniaBy MC2 Luke B. Meineke, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia Public Affairs

The pounding feet of three men echo across the Naval SupportActivity (NSA) Naples Capodichino gym aerobics room.

“Guards up!” A woman shouts from the center of the room. Each man quickly puts his gloved hands in the guard position

and keeps jogging. “Punch,” she yells. She is only five foot three and each man has at least five inches

on her but she is obviously the one in control. She continues tohave her students jog and puts them through various stretchesand warm ups for another five minutes. It’s at this point SaraSpiga feels they are ready to begin the reason everyone is there:Urban Krav Maga.

Krav Maga was founded by Imrich “Imi” Lichtenfield, one of theEurope’s most successful wrestlers from 1929-1939. Raised inBratislava, the events leading up to World War II would shape hislife forever as he quickly found himself defending himself and oth-ers from Anti-Semitism in the area.

Lichtenfield left for Israel and arrived in 1942 and almost im-mediately began training forces in combat self-defense. In 1948the U.N. granted Israel statehood and Lichtenfield became thechief hand to hand combat instructor for the Israeli Defense Force(IDF). Lichtenfield spent 20 years in the Israeli military andhoned his skills and the practice of Krav Maga eventually tweak-ing it so it could be used every day for people in need of self-de-fense. In 1978 Lichtenfield and his students created the KravMaga Association with the hope of spreading it worldwide. Jumpto 2014 and Krav Maga can be found being taught all over theworld, including in Naples, Italy by Sara Spiga.

Spiga began her life in Naples. Her father was a member of theItalian Carabinieri and her brother followed in her father’s foot-steps. Spiga however, had other plans. She moved to London andspent nine years there. She didn’t go to learn Krav Maga however.Spiga was a body piercer working in a tattoo shop. She cravedsomething more though.

“It’s not that I didn’t like my job, working in the tattoo parlorwas a lot of fun,” said Spiga. “I had always been fit. I figured whynot do something with it and began to be a personal trainer in2005.”

Spiga began to take classes in different martial arts and even-tually started Krav Maga. Working hard atthe art, she worked through all four of itslevels and became a certified Urban KravMaga instructor with the British CombatAssociation in 2009.

She returned to Naples in 2010 to work atNSA Naples as a personal trainer. Spiga nowconducts many different classes on base withan average of one to two per day including astrike class, TRX class and has clients she isa personal trainer to.

“Military and civilian training isn’t muchdifferent,” said Spiga. “While military peoplemay have some different fitness goals, get-ting better for a PRT (Physical ReadinessTest) or just taking their fitness to anotherlevel it’s all the same. I’m here to help geteveryone better.”

She incorporated elements of Krav Magain her work as a personal trainer and finallydecided to attempt to offer a standaloneKrav Maga class. Now several weeks intothe class she is happy with the class’progress.

“It’s a new class you know?” said Spiga.“We have three people coming right now andthat’s really good for a brand new class.Once the word gets out it will get bigger andI’m pretty happy with the turnout for some-thing so new.”

Class member Information Specialist Tech-nician 2nd Class Petty Officer Royce Grayhas been interested in self-defense since hewas a kid and took Spiga’s class to learn how

to better protect himself.“I have to admit I was really surprised at first,” said Gray.

“Sara’s not a big person, but, she impressed me really quickly andI really enjoy the way she has the class broken down and teaches.”

Spiga’s class usually consist of three portions said Gray, an over-all warm-up that gets you ready and pumped, the actual teachingof new material, where Spiga goes through each new move niceand slow, and the pressure test.

“The pressure test is interesting,” said Gray. “We take every-thing we learned from all the previous classes and apply it. It’simportant because this is a self-defense class, knowing how tosomething and practicing and being able to do something are verydifferent things. Sara knows that and she’s a great teacher forthat.”

Being able to defend yourself is the biggest point of Krav Magasays Spiga.

“Many martial arts have competitions to see who the best is andso does Krav Maga,” said Spiga. “The group I learned from andbelong to do not believe in competition and belts and proving whothe best is. This is real world self-defense, bad people don’t careabout your trophy or belt, the goal is to make sure you can takecare of yourself.”

For those who do want to gauge where they are in Krav MagaSpiga offers a test to determine which of the four levels the par-ticipant are at.

“The nice thing about my group is any level can train with anylevel, there is none of this ‘I’m this belt so I can’t train with youstuff,’” said Spiga. “I do understand the importance to some peoplethough so this will be the first time I’m offering this around thisarea. I’m at the instructor level, but I have to admit that level fouris pretty intense!”

In the six years since her return from the United Kingdom,Spiga has continued to train every day. While she teaches almostevery day and has plenty of clients she still takes time to workherself out as much as possible between clients and classes. Asshe continues to train service men and women and their familiesshe has also branched out into teaching members of the Italianmilitary as well.

“I’m not entirely sure how I’ve come to do some of the thingsI’ve done or how it came about,” said Spiga. “People just walkinto my life sometimes, and then they change it forever and nowhere I am.”

Navy Study confirms Vaccineeffectiveness in recruits

A recent study led by the NavalHealth Research Center (NHRC)in San Diego confirmed the effec-tiveness of the adenovirus vac-cine after observing a 100-folddecline in respiratory illnessesin U.S. military recruits.

The study, published in Clini-cal Infectious Diseases (CID)this summer, examined the im-pact on Navy, Marine Corps, AirForce, Coast Guard, and Armyrecruits after the sole manufac-turer ceased production for a 12-year period starting in 1996.Since the resumption of the vac-cine in 2011, the study high-lights the vaccine prevented anestimated three deaths and upto 8,100 hospitalizations withinthe military population.

"Febrile Respiratory Illnesses(FRI) resulting from adenovirus

were responsible for an esti-mated $600 million in trainingtime lost and medical expensesduring the 12 years with no vac-cines," explained AnthonyHawksworth, an analyst atNHRC and coauthor of the study."Adenovirus, which causes flu-like symptoms and often leads topneumonia, greatly impactedtraining during the nonvaccineperiod, disrupting trainingschedules and causing a signifi-cant number of recruits to dropout of the program."

Accounting for the cost of thevaccines, according toHawksworth, NHRC estimatesan annual savings of $20 millionsince vaccine resumption.

For a recruit, basic training or"boot camp" is a vigorous six- to12- week training program. Itteaches the fundamentals of mil-itary service and trainees un-dergo rigorous physical fitnessprograms. Adenovirus is themost prevalent and most widelyspread virus in military trainingenvironments - with estimates ofup to 80 percent of recruits in-fected - without adenovirus vac-cines.

As Hawksworth noted, "admin-istering the vaccine wasn't an op-tion during this time because themanufacturer made a businessdecision to stop making it. Themilitary took prevention meas-ures such as increased handwashing and other environmentalcontrols but literature shows, asdoes our study, that those meth-ods are not nearly as effective asvaccination."

FRI surveillance for this studytook place at eight military re-cruit training facilities across theU.S. from 1996 until 2013. Whenvaccine supplies ran out, expertssaw the virus become highly en-demic in recruit training centers.

In 2001, the Army worked withpharmaceutical companies to re-sume production. NHRC thentested the vaccines with Armycounterparts and it received FDAapproval in 2011.

"After the military reinstatedthe vaccine, the average plum-meted from about 250 cases of thevirus each week to two," saidHawksworth.

NHRC regularly conducts dis-ease surveillance around theworld, including within SanDiego-based military popula-tions and at the U.S.-Mexico bor-der in collaboration with theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC). Militaryhealth care officials at NHRCare required to report a weeklyFRI update as part of the ArmedForces Health Surveillance Pro-gram, the global health surveil-lance proponent forepidemiology across the Depart-ment of Defense.

"This is a study that can easilybe translatable to the civiliansector," explained Cmdr. GaryBrice, NHRCs director for theOperational Infectious DiseasesDirectorate. "Our results rein-force the message that FDA-ap-proved vaccines are safe andvery effective. For our militaryservice members, protectingthem is our primary mission."
