Naples Celebrates Navy’s Birthday

Adm. Mark Ferguson, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, was the guest speaker at Naples Area Navy Ball this year. The theme for the Navy’s239th birthday was Thanking Those Who Support Us. “We are fortunate to have such support, and we say thank you to all of the organizations and peoplewho keep us going strong,” said Ferguson. More than 400 people traveled to Marina di Castello Resort in Castel Volturno to celebrate the U.S. Navy’sbirthday. “And so, we few, we happy few who enjoy the bonds of the world’s preeminent naval service – take a moment this evening to stop and say withpride, ‘I serve in the United States Navy,’” Ferguson continued. “And in doing so, also take a moment to thank your family members and all those whosupport us, for they too serve the nation and Navy.” More Photos on Page 10.

I had a great time speaking andfielding questions at the TownHall on Tuesday with the mem-bers of our NSA Naples commu-nity. Thanks to everyone whoattended and for those whoasked questions in advance be-cause they knew they couldn’tmake it. I’ve been on the jobthree months now and am get-ting settled in, learning the lingofor our various departments, andgetting a better understanding ofhow we function here in Naplesas an installation. I encourageeveryone to provide feedback to me, good and bad, and we havequite a few avenues for that besides Town Halls. I’m a huge advocate for ICE, our Interactive Customer Evalua-

tion service at ice.disa.mil, and recommend everyone uses thatsystem. If you’re still not getting the feedback you feel is appro-priate, there’s an Ask the Skipper form on our command websiteat www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. I also host an AFN radio show on106 FM most Fridays from 7-8 a.m. and encourage listeners tocall into the studio or post questions to AFN’s Facebook page dur-ing the show for the XO and I to address. Basically, there are toomany methods of communication available for anyone to feel likethey’re voice isn’t being heard. I encourage the people who at-tended the Town Hall to spread the word and get an even biggerturnout next time. Families are encouraged to bring their chil-dren, the whole point of these events are to communicate withthe entire community. The Navy Ball on Saturday was an outstanding event. The

Naples Area Navy Ball Committee did an amazing job, as dideveryone else who helped make the event so great. Across theboard, it was a fitting celebration for our Navy’s 239th birthdayand a great way to highlight those who serve our active-duty com-munity. Cmdr. Darren Hale did an impressive job as master of cer-emonies, and we had an informative and entertaining speech fromAdm. Mark Ferguson, highlighting our Navy’s history nearly 200years ago in Naples with readings from personal accounts duringUSS Washington’s visit. His speech was focused on our Sailors, andthe many organization we have in today’s Navy that provide in-credible support, which is what the celebration was all about. With the holiday’s coming and more people heading out to get

Italian gifts in time for the post offices recommended mail-bydates, exercise caution and awareness of your surroundings aswe’ve had an uptick in vehicle break-ins. These tend to spike to-wards this time of year, so be attentive. Use your car and homealarms, as you should already be doing. If you’re heading out oftown on travel, let a friend or trusted neighbor know to keep aneye on things while you’re away. Don’t leave bundles of gifts or thatnew TV in your car while you head to another store for round twoof shopping. Things lying out are the main reason for vehiclebreak-ins, whether it’s iPods, GPS devices or anything else thatseems valuable. Let’s be smart while we’re out picking up sou-venirs or just enjoying our impressive surroundings.I look forward to seeing everyone out at next week’s Spooktacular.

We have so many volunteers and organizations coming together tohopefully make this year’s even better than the last.

Fall is upon us, and with fallingleaves and changing colors comesthis year’s flu bug! According tothe Centers for Disease Control,as of Sept. 20 influenza viruseswere reported worldwide andfrom 47 states in all 10 U.S. De-partment of Health and HumanServices regions. While this year’sinfluenza activity in Naples is ex-pected to be consistent with his-torical rates, it is important tonote that many personnel andfamily members are arriving toand leaving from the Naples areaconstantly. This may result in anincreased risk of exposure due topersonnel bringing the flu viruswith them and spreading it asthey travel in and out of differentareas. Additionally, it is possiblethat the Naples area will see anincrease in influenza cases andactivity during the coming weeksas the virus continues to spreadaround the globe.Unlike the common cold, the flu

can potentially cause severe ill-ness or life threatening complica-tions, particularly for certainpopulations, such as pregnantwomen, young children, the eld-erly, and individuals with under-lying health conditions.Influenza viruses are spreadfrom person to person throughrespiratory droplets of coughsand sneezes. The two most effec-

tive ways to help control thespread of the flu are coveringyour nose with a tissue whencoughing or sneezing and fre-quently washing hands thor-oughly with soap and water orhand sanitizer. Prevention is key,and the most effective way toprevent the flu is by receivingthe influenza vaccine.Influenza immunizations are

mandatory for all uniformed per-sonnel. Immunization is alsomandatory for Department ofDefense (DoD) civilian health-care personnel working in mili-tary healthcare facilities. Allother civilians and beneficiariesare highly encouraged to receivethe vaccine. Two forms of influenza vaccine

Wearing Ball Caps: What You Need to KnowFrom Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

Optional wear of the Navy and command ball caps was authorized Sept.1 with Navy Working Uniforms (NWU) (Type I, II and III) as well as withflight suits, coveralls, Flame Resistant Variant (FRV) coveralls and theNavy physical training uniform. The Uniform Matters Office continues to receive a large number of ques-

tions and plenty of feedback on the optional wear of the Navy and commandball caps.

Based on your questions, here are the top five things you need to knowabout wearing ball caps:1. The Navy ball cap is a seabag-issued item first received by Sailors at

boot camp. Replacements can be purchased using the annual clothingreplacement allowance for enlisted E1-E6 personnel. It is considered theproperty of the Sailor upon purchase.

2. The command ball cap is organizational clothing procured by the com-mand (supply officer buys them using operating target funds) and issuedto the Sailor by their assigned command. Sailors may purchase com-mand ball caps with their personal funds, just as they purchase com-mand badges, patches, belt buckles, and other permissible uniformitems. However, since the command ball cap is not a seabag item, Sailorscannot be required to purchase it.

3. If a Sailor is authorized to wear NWUs out in town, he or she may wearthe Navy or command ball cap. Ball caps may be worn with civilianclothes provided they do not have rank insignia or command titles re-flected (i.e. CO, XO, CMC, CHENG, OPS, DECK LCPO, etc.). Commandball caps may substitute the Navy logo with the command name andlogo and a Sailor's last name can be embroidered centered on the backof the cap in command colors. The ball cap is made of standard navyblue wool, synthetic, or blended fabric.

4. Commands may prescribe the eight-point cover with the NWUs forSailors in formation at a ceremony or formal occasion. In this case, theball cap shouldn't be worn.

5. The Navy and command ball caps may be worn with the NWU, Navyflight suits, navy blue coveralls, flame resistant coveralls, and the Navyphysical training uniform.

For more information on uniform regulations and a list of FAQs relating tothe ball caps, visit the Uniform Matters Office website at: http:// www.public.navy.mil/BUPERS-NPC/SUPPORT/UNIFORMS/Pages/ FAQs.aspx.Email umo_cmc@navy.mil for feedback on uniform matters and usnpeo-

CNIC Promotes Energy Action MonthEnergy Action Month is here and Navy Installations Command

(NIC) is committed to doing its part. With more than 80,000 facilities and nearly two million acres

of land to support the fleet’s Sailors and families, shore installa-tions play a vital role in energy conservation. Sailors and civil-ians worldwide are helping make Navy facilities andinfrastructure more energy efficient and are increasing the useof alternative and renewable energy.Energy is a strategic resource and to best meet the NIC mis-

sion, leadership and staffs are reaffirming their commitment tocontinue awareness in conserving energy."It is the right thing to do," said Cmdr. Jay Cavnar, NIC's en-

ergy branch head. "Every kilowatt-hour, BTU (British ThermalUnit) or gallon of fuel that we can avoid using - while still meet-ing our full mission - allows us to stretch limited resources formission success." Throughout the month of October installations and regional

commands are doing their part to contribute to this month's

focus, and hope to extend this call to action into a year round ef-fort. "Observing where we may become more energy efficient

throughout the year to support our operations around the worldis vitally important to improving fleet readiness," said Lt. Cmdr.Gareth Montgomery, an energy action officer for NIC. "Improvedreadiness and efficiency means better operational capability forthe warfighter."According to Sandrine Schultz, NIC's energy program manager,

"We must monitor our energy consumption closely to gather ac-tionable information required to implement cost-effective energyinitiatives across all Navy installations." Resources for more information on energy efficiency may be

found on the Navy Installations Command websitehttp://cnic.navy.mil/energy and Facebook pages includingwww.facebook.com/ navybrite.The Navy's website http://greenfleet.dodlive.mil/ energy/ener-

gywarrior also offers a free Energy Warrior app, which allows in-dividuals to view videos and discover what Sailors, civilians, andothers are doing to lead change and increase combat capability.

October marks Energy Action Month. This month is de-signed to promote energy and water conservation practicesthroughout the Federal government. The goal is to notonly raise awareness but also take action by showing theFederal government will play an important role as the na-tion shifts toward more clean energy. Federal employees have the power tomake the transition to clean energy a reality.Some simple tips to save energy include:

- Turn computer monitors off at night and during the day when they aren’tbeing used for extended periods of time.

- Get into the habit of turning off lights when you leave the room.- When weather permits, open windows to take the place of air conditioning.

Turn off window air conditioners when you leave a room for several hours.

They cleared the garden area of debris and dead leaves. Some workedinside the hundred-year-old-church where a handful of the significantrelics of San Gennaro, Naples’ Patron Saint, are displayed. Owens led the Carinaro community service project, the second group

of Bataan volunteers. One of their main missions was to set-up the 48play mats purchased by the U.S. Sixth Fleet public affairs office. TheU.S. Marines, led by Abe Gramata, retired master chief and DefenseLogistics Agency employee, trimmed the overgrown citrus treebranches. The Sailors led by Mark Ludington, U.S. Air Force retiredand USO Naples volunteer, did an cleaned the church’s upper room.Others had unique responsibility such as cleaning the hard-to-reachdusty statues of angels and crucifix inside the nuns’ chapel. SomeSailors helped the nuns feeding the children during lunch. Every oneenjoyed playing with the sixty plus three to six year old children ontheir brand-new new play mats. Chaplain Owens commented, “As a chaplain, I often witness a trans-

formation in attitude among each member as they see firsthand howtheir contribution bears fruit. It was encouraging to see young Sailorsand Marines playing with children. Smiles overshadowed any lan-guage barrier that existed beforehand. As expressions of gratitudepoured over the day, everyone left his or her post feeling complete asthey had made the right choice in volunteering.”The two simultaneous Bataan community relations projects made a

difference in the lives of San Gennaro Church Franciscan Friars, staff,volunteers, Pozzuoli’s homeless and disadvantaged, children and theirparents in Carinaro and the aging Franciscan nuns. The recipients ofthe good deeds, were very happy. For the Franciscan priests and sis-ters, the gift of time and play mats was an answer to prayers. A GlobalForce for Good indeed!

5 Things Sailors Need toKnow About Social Media,Phishing and SecurityBy U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/U.S. 10th Fleet Public Affairs

As the U.S. Navy remains ever vigilant, recent media reportshave highlighted potential risk from information carelessly or in-advertently shared on social media.There has also been a steady stream of reporting on criminal

and other malevolent cyber actors who seek information usinghoax emails, also known as phishing, to gain access to financesor other sensitive information.Safety and security are always the highest priority for the Navy

and therefore the recent reports on social media risks and new orrecycled phishing scams do not necessarily mean there is an in-creased threat. The Navy, however, can never let its guard down.Private, personal, and sensitive information could become avail-

able to adversaries or criminals via social media or phishing ifservice members and their families do not practice operations se-curity (OPSEC).

To avoid disclosing private, banking, and other sensitive infor-mation publicly via social media, Sailors should keep in mind thefollowing five things:1. Never share anything online you would not tell directly to the

enemy.2. Never post private or personal information.3. Assume any information you share electronically will be made

public.4. Phishing scams tend to have common characteristics that

make them easy to identify:* Spelling and punctuation errors.* Scare tactics to entice a target to provide personal informa-

tion or follow links.* Sensational subject lines to entice targets to click on at-

tached links or provide personal information.* Include a redirect to malicious URL's which require you

input usernames and passwords to access.* Try to appear genuine by using legitimate operational

terms, key words and accurate personal information.* Fake or unknown sender.

5. When in doubt about a suspicious email from a supposed bank,call your financial institutions or check with your commandInformation Assurance (IA) lead. Your command IA can alsoassist with other types of suspicious email.

The Naval OPSEC Support Team, part of Navy Information Op-erations Command Norfolk, highlights "Knowledge is power - forboth you and the adversary," and advises:

* Understand the value of your information.* Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, online requests, or

emails.* Be suspicious when information about you and your family

is requested.* Always ask yourself, do they have the "need to know?"

Ensure OPSEC is a way of life, 24/7/365. Navy leaders shouldremind Sailors and their families to assess how they use socialmedia with OPSEC in mind -- and the need to best protect them-selves, their loved ones, and all with whom they serve.It is everyone's responsibility help keep Sailors, civilians, and

families safe by not sharing personal or sensitive military infor-mation in email or in any online environment.

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

Earlier this year, the Chief of Naval Personnel an-nounced updates to the Command Advancement Pro-gram (CAP) for active component (AC) and Reservecomponent (RC) and a shift from a calendar to a fiscalyear timeline for CAP and Navy Recruiter MeritoriousAdvancement Program (NRMAP), starting Oct. 1. These changes are based on Fleet feedback, empower

the command triad to advance their top Sailors and arein alignment with ongoing performance-based initia-tives. CAP and NRMAP are intended to reward sustained

superior performance, providing command triads fur-ther opportunities to advance their top Sailors. Quotasfor CAP and NRMAP for eligible commands will belisted in a NAVADMIN that will be posted onwww.npc.navy.mil.

Here are a few things you need to know about CAP:• CAP continues to provide commanding officers with

the authority to advance eligible rated Sailors inrecognition of their superior performance in pay-grades E3, E4 and E5 to the next higher paygrade.

• Beginning Oct. 1, CAP will shift from a calendar yearprogram to a fiscal year program, with the period ofobservance from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. The up-dated policy incorporates a CAP season, July 1 toSept. 30. The CAP season is the only the time whencommands can advance eligible Sailors under CAP.

• The CAP season aligns with the Navy-wide advance-ment examination cycles, which allows CAP to befactored in when determining the number of ad-vancement quotas each cycle. The CAP data helps tominimize over promotions thus ensuring future ad-vancement opportunity exists.

• COs continue to have the authority to set CAP per-formance standards and select their best Sailors. TheCombat Meritorious Advancement program remainsunchanged.

• For Fiscal Year 2015, there will be a hold on CAP forSelected Reserve Sailors due to reductions in endstrength and over-manning in multiple rates.For more news from Chief of Naval Personnel, visit

Most children follow a normal developmental "path." Achild typically walks between 9 and 15 months. Their firstword is at about one year of age. A two year old begins toassert themselves and becomes more independent. A threeyear old begins to demonstrate increased balance andlearns to hop and climb stairs. They are also able to drawa circle. Four year olds should be toilet trained, dressingand feeding themselves. They should also be clear in theirspeech. Many parents worry about whether or not theirchild is "coming along" all right. There are specialistswithin the Naples community who can help ease some ofthese worries. These specialists will conduct a communityscreening Oct. 31 at the Naples Elementary School. If yourchild has not reached school age, he or she may be eligiblefor a free developmental assessment.The initial assessment is a quick screening to deter-

mine if there is a problem in one or more of five devel-opmental areas (communication, social-emotional,cognitive, adaptive, and physical). Parents can completea quick screening to see if their child is "on track." Allchildren under 3 are eligible and children 3-5 years oldwho are working with the U.S. military (active duty, De-partment of Defense) are eligible as well. Developmental screenings or evaluations do not pre-

dict a child's intelligence or how well they will do inschool. The primary purpose of these assessments is tolet parents and professionals know if a child is showingtypical development. If a child obtains a "normal"

score, it means that he or she is meeting their majordevelopmental milestones as expected. Normal encom-passes a broad range. For example, most children walkbetween 9 and 15 months. If a child walks at 9 monthsthat does not necessarily imply "better" developmentthan if he or she walks at 12 months or at 14 months.If, however, a child obtains a score significantly belowthe average, then that is of concern and they may ben-efit from services. Federal Law has set up guidelines to determine if a

child qualifies for federally funded services.To be eligible for these federal services, a child must

demonstrate a 20 percent delay in two or more areasor a 25 percent delay in one area. Also if a child is con-sidered “high risk”, the federal law allows for the childto receive services, for example, if the child was bornpremature. If a child qualifies for services and the parents want

services, the family will work with a professional to de-velop a service plan for the child. If the child is over 3years of age, then the school will help develop an Indi-vidual Education Plan for the child to support their de-velopment. If the child is not yet three, then anIndividualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) will be made. To learn more about your child’s development, plan to

come to the Community Screening at the elementaryschool Oct. 31 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Walk-ins arewelcome, but to ensure a spot for your child and gooduse of your time, schedule an appointment by callingEDIS at DSN 629-4676.

ond time competing down in Sigonella this season,and it gives me the opportunity to see howSigonella has been training in comparison with ourtraining since the last time we competed. Sigonellahas a lot of young new swimmers who have reallycome along since the last meet, so we need to con-tinue to stay focused and working smart in thepool,” says Coach Jane Higgins.“Swimming at Sigonella is something our Team,

Coaches and I truly look forward to! The relation-ship with their swimmers and parents goes waybeyond any rivalry. Sigonella Swim Team andFamilies are truly a class act!” said Naples TigerShark and EFSL President Dave Snodgrass.

it all in the pool for the first back to back meet ofthe swim season. They swam each event like it wastheir first event of the day. Eighty four percent ofthe team came back on Sunday setting new Per-sonal Bests in one or more of their five events.
