During last week’s Commander’sSpotlight radio show, the XO and Ispoke about Suicide PreventionMonth and we talked about it againthis week. It’s an important topicand we should all think about thisyear’s theme of “Every Sailor, EveryDay.” Every member of our commu-nity from coworkers and leaders, tofamily members and friends shouldbe watching out for each other. Oureveryday actions can be the differ-ence in someone else’s life, just liketheir everyday problems can pile upand seem to be beyond their abilityto fix, solve, or cope. Ask questionsand actively listen to the answers. Notice the small changes in a person’sdemeanor and personality, especially if you know they’re having issues -with a transfer, with money, with relationship problems, or a recent loss.Keep the dialogue about suicide open, and please be involved.

The CREDO team from Region is offering an Applied Suicide Interven-tion Skills Training (ASIST) workshop at the end of the month. I encour-age personnel to take advantage of this opportunity designed to makepeople more comfortable, confident and competent in talking about therisk of suicide in our community. It will be held at the Support Site Fel-lowship Hall Sept. 24-25. The staff will discuss the issues, and partici-pants will go through realistic scenarios to help them gain the confidencethat is sometimes lacking when discussing suicide. Get a hold of theCREDO team if you or someone you know would like to participate.

The Religious Ministries Team has done amazing work with Club Be-yond and supporting our youth community. The program started just twoyears ago, but has had a big impact in the Naples community. With acombination of weekly activities, day events and multi-day camps, thisprogram reaches a sizeable percentage of middle and high school stu-dents throughout the school year. Club Beyond’s tagline is “where faith,friends, and fun connect.” Besides the students taking an active part andmaking the most of this program, the adult volunteers sustain the pro-gram and help it succeed and grow. It’s great to see community engage-ment and involvement at this level. I imagine some of the internationaltrips and other opportunities have helped Club Beyond’s success also, sobe on the lookout!

We had a fantastic concert last Tuesday night with the Plain White T’s.What a great turnout out there in Central Park! I wish to express mythanks to the professionals at Navy Entertainment and Armed Forces En-tertainment, as well as our own Staci Dietrich for making this concert areality. These events are a wonderful opportunity to come together as acommunity, enjoy a taste of home, and have fun in a relaxed atmosphere.I will keep the press on for more events like the Plain White T’s concertand I thank all of you for coming out. I hope to see the same enthusiasmand attendance with Anberlin’s concert set for September 27.

One last thing to consider before the weekend kicks in to full swing. Ifyou have some time, head out tomorrow to the Second Class Petty Offi-cers Association bridge cleanup. They’ll be meeting up at the TLA busstop at 0800, and anyone 18 years or older is eligible to volunteer. Thisis a great initiative these Sailors started last year and they’ve kept itgoing, greatly helping improve visibility and safety on the overpass justoutside of the Support Site. They’ll be out there until 1400, so grab a re-flective vest and participate.

Crime Report for Sept. 3 - Sept. 9

The Navy is promoting the message"Every Sailor, Every Day" to encour-age all Sailors, leaders, families andmembers of the Navy community tostrengthen their connections withthose around them in accordancewith Suicide Prevention Month.

Unfortunately, suicide is currentlyone of the top causes of death in theNavy, claiming the lives of approxi-mately 44 Sailors in 2013 alone and,according to Navy Personnel Com-mand, 39 lives so far in 2014.

While these statistics suggest a de-crease in frequency of total suicide fa-talities from previous years, thenumbers show that some Sailors arestill finding themselves with nowhereto go and no other option.

In an organization that requires thecooperation and unity of every Sailorto accomplish its mission, one suicideis one too many.

So, how do we keep moving for-ward?

According to Lt. David Broderick, apsychologist at Makalapa MentalHealth Clinic Pearl Harbor, in addi-tion to the web of resources that tar-get raising awareness, reduction andresponse to suicide, it is also increas-ingly important to "get ahead of theproblem" and address the social chal-lenges and stigmas that may lay atthe crux of the issue.

"Efforts need to continue to be madetowards de-stigmatizing and beingmore empathic about suicide so thatthe person asking for help doesn't feeloverwhelmed with asking for it," saidBroderick. "If people are hesitant togo and talk to their chain of com-mand about feeling depressed orhopeless, because they worry theircareer might get affected, or becausemaybe they're not yet at that point ofreally wanting to hurt themselves,then things can certainly end up es-calating the longer they wait."

Lt. James Ragain, a chaplain at-tached to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, echoed Broderick'ssentiments, saying there are a lot ofsocial challenges and stigmas thatcome with suicide.

"For the person that may be havingthoughts about suicide, there's cer-tainly the stigma of, 'am I going to beseen as different?' Or, 'are peoplegoing to treat me as weak?,' said Ra-gain. "And on the other end there'sthe taboo of asking difficult questionsabout people's lives and asking thequestion we're trained to ask, 'Are

you thinking about suicide?' We maythink that by asking this questionthis person may reject us and cost usa friendship."

As Ragain described, the programsthat are available work effectively toequip individuals with the know-howand insight to identify external indi-cations and red flags, as well as pro-viding help to those who need it, but,"oftentimes the tools can be like giv-ing cough syrup to someone whoneeds an antibody. We need to getbelow the surface."

"If they can't open up to anyone, orif they don't feel safe opening up toanyone, and no one is there to askthat clear and direct question, 'areyou thinking about suicide?,' then thesituation can certainly snowball outof their control," said Ragain.

Lt. Cmdr. Kaarin Coe, a socialworker and the Suicide PreventionCoordinator at Military and FamilySupport Center Pearl Harbor, saidthat while the task of asking a ship-mate or co-worker if they are havingthoughts of suicide or are in need pro-fessional help may seem daunting, itis important to keep in mind theNavy's core values to intervene whensomething is out of place in the workplace, as well as with those aroundus.

"The Navy's greatest asset is theirpeople," said Coe. "Nothing moves,flies, or sails without someone at thehelm - whatever form that may take.When we take care of each other, weensure our Navy stays not only 'Fit toFight,' but focused on the mission.When we get people support soonerrather than later, they are able to ei-ther maintain their ability to be mis-sion focused, or return to duty fasterthan if they wait until there is a cri-sis. I believe this is the cornerstone ofour core values."

Ragain said to continue moving for-ward it is crucial that Sailors and in-dividuals find the honor, courage andcommitment to initiate early avenuesof communication with those thatmay be showing signs of suicide.

"When someone starts that internaldialogue about suicide and they havesomeone they can talk with aboutwhat's going on in their life, it letsthem get everything out onto thetable, and for a lot of people it's like ahuge weight's been taken off theirshoulders," said Ragain. "For others,as they listen to themselves talkabout suicide and about their issues,it's almost like they convince them-selves not to do it because they nowhave that connection with someone

Energy efficiency and energy conservation are twooften-confused terms. Although they are affiliatedwith one another, they actually have differentmeanings.

Energy efficiency is the use of technology that re-quires less energy to perform the same function. A compact fluores-cent light bulb that uses less energy than an incandescent bulb orpurchasing energy star appliances instead of regular appliances willperform the same task but more energy efficiently.

Energy conservation is any behavior that results in the use of lessenergy. Turning the lights off when exiting a building, poweringdown electronics when they are no longer in use, and recycling recy-clable materials are a few ways of conserving energy.

The decision to replace an existing appliance for a more energy ef-ficient appliances is an act of energy conservation. Continue to doyour part with conservation and efficiency around the home andworkplace.

and they know they're no longeralone."

Because of this, it is imperative thatSailors and individuals remain per-ceptive to changes in behavior andattitude of someone who they maysuspect is struggling emotionally,said Ragain.

"One thing that happens when peo-ple are thinking about suicide is theygive out invitations to people, to con-nect with them and talk about theirfeelings," said Ragain. "I use 'invita-tions' as opposed to 'warning signs,'because what they're doing is invit-ing other people to talk about thismajor decision they're going to makein their life. These invitations maycome in the form of the things theysay like, 'there's no hope for me,things will be better once I'm gone.'Or as blatant as, 'I'm going to killmyself.' Invitations also come in theform of their appearance, or howthey isolate themselves from otherpeople."

Coe said that anyone can becomesusceptible to suicidal thoughts, thusit becomes important that everyonerecognizes their role as a resource byremaining vigilant to signs that maybe out of the ordinary with their co-worker or shipmate.

"Being aware of changes in mood,demeanor, and behaviors are key inrecognizing early that somethingmay be going on," said Coe. "Knowingthe resources available can also helpget someone to the support they needsooner."

Once contact and communication isestablished, Sailors and individualscan then move on to subsequent re-sources that will work more directlyto provide the support and help nec-essary.

At this stage in the Navy, Brodericksuggested that commands continueto stress that Sailors seek help andresources.

"Commands need to continuestressing that and eventually peoplemay find themselves more willing, ornot as nervous, to seek help and gotalk to someone," said Broderick.

"The clinic is a place for everyone tocome for outpatient treatment forwhatever life stresses they may havegoing on," said Broderick. "We offertherapy groups here to individualswith psychologists and social work-ers. We also have psychiatric nursepractitioners and psychiatrists avail-able here to work on the medicationaspect. Our mission is to get peopleback to work and to feel strongerabout going back to work."

But to accomplish this mission firstrequires one to make that uncomfort-able effort and ask that difficult ques-tion, "Are you thinking aboutsuicide?"

It is only through increased empa-thetic and open communication thatthis can be achieved, said Coe.

"The more a difficult topic is dis-cussed open and honestly, the more itbreaks down the taboo/stigma. Rec-ognizing that we all need help at dif-ferent points in our lives is key."

From September 1-30, "I Pledge toACT," a web-based effort, will takeplace to encourage all Sailors, fami-lies and members of the Navy com-munity to take steps in buildingpersonal resilience, supporting theirshipmates and intervening if they no-tice signs of distress. The pledge iscompletely anonymous and availableto all audiences through the NPCwebsite, www.public.navy.mil.

Gaeta Honors Navy Chaplain and Medal of Honor Recipient

Life just got easier for Navy familiesgoing overseas with their Sailor with therelease of a Navy message, Sept. 3.

Previously Sailors and their families hadto wait for hard-copy orders to start theiroverseas screening. Now a Letter of Intent(LOI) will allow them to start the process.

"A working group was convened to eval-uate the current overseas screeningprocess and it came up with some recom-mendations. They recommended NavyPersonnel Command issue a Letter of In-tent once a Sailor is identified for an over-seas billet," said Capt. Chris Harris,director, Distribution Management. "TheLOI would go to the Sailor's command andallows the Sailor and dependents to beginthe overseas screening process immedi-ately, instead of waiting for orders."

According to NAVADMIN 203/14, officialorders will not be released by Navy Per-sonnel Command (NPC) until screening iscomplete and the Sailor and family mem-bers are eligible. Sailors have to completeoverseas screening within 30 days of re-ceiving the LOI. Their families have 60days. If they don't complete the screeningwithin that window, they will automati-cally be considered for reassignment to aneeds-of-the-Navy assignment.

"We know that delays are sometimes un-avoidable, due to circumstances beyond aSailor's control, so waiver requests will beconsidered by NPC," said Harris.

Capt. Mark Colombo, commanding officer of the U.S.6th Fleet command and control ship USS Mount Whit-ney (LCC 20), and Command Master Chief Matt Dickin-son, place a wreath Sept. 4 during a memorial ceremonyin Gaeta, Italy for Lt. Vincent R. Capodanno, a Navychaplain and a posthumous recipient of the Medal ofHonor, for actions during the Vietnam War. An excerptfrom Capodanno's citation reads: "In response to re-ports that the 2d Platoon of M Company was in dangerof being overrun by a massed enemy assaulting force,Lt. Capodanno left the relative safety of the companycommand post and ran through an open area raked withfire, directly to the beleaguered platoon. Disregardingthe intense enemy small-arms, automatic-weapons, andmortar fire, he moved about the battlefield administer-ing last rites to the dying and giving medical aid to thewounded. When an exploding mortar round inflictedpainful multiple wounds to his arms and legs, and sev-ered a portion of his right hand, he steadfastly refusedall medical aid. Instead, he directed the corpsmen tohelp their wounded comrades and, with calm vigor, con-tinued to move about the battlefield as he provided en-couragement by voice and example to the valiantMarines."

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USSRoss (DDG 71) hosted the opening ceremony of Exercise SeaBreaze 2014, a multinational maritime exercise in the BlackSea, Sept 8.

The exercise took place, Sept. 8-10, with naval forces fromUkraine, Georgia, Romania, Turkey, Latvia, and the U.S., aswell as three ships from Standing NATO Maritime GroupTWO Task Unit 02 (SNMG2 TU.02), the Canadian Halifax-class frigate HMCS Toronto (FFH 333), Spanish frigate ESPSAlmirante Juan De Borbon and Romanian frigate ROSRegele Ferdinand.

“I believe exercise Sea Breeze will be the next step in in-creasing stability and building relationships and under-standing with all of the participating nations and will be thehope for the future,” said Vice Adm. Serhiy Hayduk, Com-mander in Chief Ukrainian Navy.

Working together in order to strengthen interoperability,participants will focus on maritime interdiction operationsas a primary means to enhance maritime security. Otherkey components of the exercise will focus on communcations,seach and rescue, force protection and navigation.

“We will remain focused on improving interoperabilitywhile promoting regional stability and maritime security;strengthening international military partnering; and fos-

tering trust among our partners and allies,” said CaptainJames Aiken, exercise director.

This is the first time that the Ross has participated in SeaBreeze, with this year’s exercise being the 17th iteration ofwhat is considered the largest annual multinational mar-itime exercise held in the Black Sea.

“It’s a great opportunity,” said Cmdr. Tadd Gorman, com-manding officer of the USS Ross. “We’re looking forward tosome excellent training and the chance to interact with ourNATO allies and partners.”

Gorman says the Ross plans to actively participate in theentire spectrum of surface, air, and sub-surface evolutionsduring this exercise. These events, he said, will challengethe crew of Ross in their capabilities and level of knowledge.

“Anytime you exercise with warships of other countries,and deal with language barriers, you’re going to be chal-lenged,” Gorman said. “That’s the point of this exercise;overcoming these challenges and working together to be-come a team.”

Ross, forward deployed to Rota, Spain, is conducting navaloperations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in sup-port of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conductsthe full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in con-cert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order toadvance U.S. national interests and security and stabilityin Europe and Africa.

Collaborative tools and social networking platforms are becoming in-creasingly valuable for companies and government entities to ensure thatinnovative solutions and ideas generated by their workforce are heard byleadership and can foster change that makes them more effective.

In 2009, the military took on this challenge through the creation of mil-Suite, a collection of online tools and applications aimed at connectingpeople and knowledge by increasing awareness of military programs,products, teams, and policies.

To improve collaboration on energy topics across the Fleets and SystemCommands, the Chief of Naval Operations Energy and EnvironmentalReadiness Division (OPNAV N45) has created a collection of milSuitegroups that facilitate energy discussions as part of this emerging socialbusiness initiative.

MilSuite is a Common Access Card (CAC) enabled tool that allows DoDpersonnel to create virtual communities, share ideas, and participate ina collaborative work environment. DoD uses milSuite to improve securemethods of collaboration using four types of applications: milBook, mil-Wiki, milWire and milTube. Each application serves a unique purposeto securely connect users to share information.

The OPNAV N45 groups include a Navy Energy dashboard to whichmembers can post energy-related articles, submit blog posts, or engagein discussions. A second group consists of a reference library that servesas a repository for Navy energy-related resources. The third group is theNavy Energy Innovation group, which serves as an open forum for mem-bers to share ideas on energy-related technology, research, and ap-proaches for improving tactics, techniques, and procedures that canincrease energy efficiency. Similar to Facebook, members can "like" ini-tiatives or posts, vote on ideas, or add comments to further the discus-sion.

"Energy is a resource that all members of the Navy community rely onto perform their mission," said Capt. Jeff Maclay, director of the NavyEnergy Coordination Office. "The large number of dedicated Navy per-sonnel that have expertise in areas relevant to energy could be a greatresource for resolving energy issues and making us more combat capable,so we're eager to hear their ideas and suggestions."

The Navy's General Military Training (GMT) schedule for fiscal year 2015 (FY-15), announced Sept. 2, outlines significant changes for the program, according toNaval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 202/14.

"We listened to what the fleet had to say and what command leaders recom-mended, and as a result the Navy is giving command triads greater flexibility andmore say in how their individual commands deliver GMT topics," said Capt. Ferdi-nand Reid, commanding officer of the Center for Personal and Professional Devel-opment, which administers the GMT program.

The feedback came from a variety of levels throughout the Navy and was providedto the Navy's Flag/Senior Executive Planning Board for Training, with input fromU.S. Fleet Forces Command, as well as numerous others, according to the message.The outcome of this coordination was the consolidation of several training topicsinto fewer lessons and eliminating anger management as a topic altogether.

Another significant change is command leaders will have the option of what sub-jects to deliver that satisfy the personal financial management GMT requirement.

"This allows commanders to best meet the needs of their command by tailoringthe training to their Sailors' knowledge level and requirements," said Reid.

Examples of PFM topics include car buying strategies, credit management, homebuying, and financial planning for deployment.

The NAVADMIN also lists required training for FY-15, provides updated guidancefor unit commanders regarding which lessons must be delivered face to face, andgives discretion on how some lessons are delivered to Sailors in their commands.

"All the required lessons are listed on the Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) GMTpage along with the standardized training materials. Content is also available onNavy eLearning for certain topics that aren't required to be delivered in face to facesessions," said Reid.

GMT is an opportunity for command leaders to have targeted, meaningful con-versations with their Sailors about character, integrity and professionalism usingthe GMT content as their road map, he said.

In keeping with guidance that supports the Navy's efforts of reducing adminis-trative distractions to eliminate administrative burdens on the fleet, FY-15 GMTtopics are divided into two categories.

Category-one training must be conducted as face to face sessions led by facilitatorsat the command level. Commands are directed to use senior leadership, such aschief petty officers and command training team members, to deliver this categoryof training.

"We encourage commands to partner with local subject matter experts and collat-eral duty officers to complement the standardized GMT content. This will help ex-pand the impact of the training experience for Sailors," Reid said.

FY-15 training topics in category one include Equal Opportunity; Hazing Policyand Prevention; Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Awareness; and SuicideAwareness and Prevention.

The topics listed on the NKO GMT page not identified as category one are consid-ered category two. The delivery method for category two lessons is at the discretionof unit commanders. Several, but not all, category two lessons are available as webbased training and can also be delivered in face to face sessions. When multiple de-livery methods exist, commanders may also choose to combine them in order tomost effectively balance command operational requirements with training oppor-tunities.

To help commands plan their training, the NKO GMT page has a planning calen-dar that lays out suggested months for training delivery coinciding with nationaland Navywide communication themes.

These won't be the only changes to the Navy GMT program, said Reid. "We're constantly reviewing GMT materials with the intent of delivering the most

up to date training to meet fleet needs and Sailors' learning styles," he said. "Be-cause of this, we update the GMT page on NKO on a monthly basis, at a minimum.So keep checking the NKO GMT page and please send us feedback on how we canimprove GMT lessons and the overall program."

Sailors with feedback should submit it to the Center for Personal and ProfessionalDevelopment (CPPD) via email at gmt. distribution(at)navy.mil.
