Members of the 725th Air Mobility Squadron (AMS) welcomed their new commander during a change of command ceremony at Naval Station Rota, Spain, Friday.

During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Christopher Cunniff relinquished command to Lt. Col. Michael Good. The ceremony was officiated by Col. Timrek Heisler, commander, 521st Air Mobility Operations Group.

“This is a significant day in the history of the United States Air Force, the day we pass the 725th Air Mobility Squadron guidon from one great leader to the next. It is also a special day, because we are going to recognize the

725th as the Global Reach Award recipient, identifying the unit as the best of 18 en-route squadrons,” said Heisler. “Through their bold leadership, Lt. Col. Chris and Mandy Cunniff, alongside this amazing 725th team, have elevated this squadron to greatness. However, no unit can achieve this type of success in a vacuum. The great relationship we have with our Spanish and Navy partners have set the environment where we can all succeed together.”

Before turning over command, Cunniff expressed his appreciation to the airmen assigned to the 725th AMS and detailed how the squadron has been able to succeed at such a high level.

“The integrity and respect for others and constant high level of professionalism is exactly how the 725th

pulls together across such a wide variety of career fields to set the example as the best en-route squadron in [Air Mobility Command].”

Once his speech was complete, Cunniff received a final salute from the AMS members for the last time as commander, and passed the squadron guidon on to Good.

“Colonel Heisler, sir, I know that without your true support, your backing, I would not be standing here today. Thank you,” said Good. “I will have pretty straightforward expectations of us all. To the point, I will expect that we continue to crush our mission through compliance, professionalism, skill, and training. I will expect that we take care of our people and look out for

Team Rota,I just want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Sailors

aboard USS Ross (DDG 71) for their selection as the 2014 Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy award for the Atlantic Fleet, and the 725th Air Mobility Squadron (AMS) for their selection as the 2015 Global Reach Award.

The Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy Award is awarded annually to one ship or aircraft squadron from the east coast for achieving the greatest improvement in battle efficiency.

“USS Ross (DDG 71) spent 2014 preparing herself

for forward deployment to Rota, Spain and then executing a home port move in addition to a long challenging basic training phase, INSURV [the Board of Inspection and Survey], and recovering from a long 2013 maintenance period. The sustained success achieved throughout that period is a testament to the ship’s motivated Sailors, superb leadership, tactical innovation, and unrelenting drive to elevate USS Ross (DDG 71) to the pinnacle of success,” according to Navy Administrative Message 137/15.

The Global Reach award is given annually by the United States Air Force Expeditionary Center to recognize the

best “en route” squadron in the world. This year, the 725th AMS is recognized as being the best in the world out of 18 squadrons. This award clearly recognizes the many outstanding contributions and accomplishments of the unit’s personnel as well.

The 725th AMS epitomized global reach by not only leading the 200 assigned personnel at Naval Station Rota, but also personnel stationed abroad at its operating locations in Sigonella, Italy, Tel Aviv, and Cairo. The 725th AMS directly supported and contributed to the short notice Noncombatant Evacuation Operations in Libya, executed the rapid deployment of eight C-17 missions of special operating forces with zero delays, and deployed six highly-qualified technicians, executing 176 maintenance actions and delivered 152 retrograde missions with an 89 percent logistics departure rate. The airmen of the 725th AMS expended over 16,000 man-hours that were vital to the unit’s impressive 85 percent C-5 and 78 percent C-17 12-hour fix rate, the best within the 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing. The men and women of the 725th AMS should be proud, and they have clearly set the standard not only for other Air Mobility Squadrons to emulate but also for other units to emulate.

Please join me in congratulating USS Ross and the 725th AMS for their accomplishments and, more importantly, their commitment and dedication to always strive for excellence. If you see any of their young motivators out and about, please personally congratulate them as well.

Thank You.HOORAH! 212CMC

Congrats to USS Ross, 725th AMS

BRITE IdeasNAVSTA Rota!

1. Use public transportation whenever possible. One person commuting to work by mass transit instead of driving can save 200 gallons of gasoline in a year.

2 . S h a r e your ride: Join a carpool or a vanpool. About 1/3 of all private a u t o m o b i l e mi leage is for commut ing to work.

3. Don’t speed. For each mile per hour over 55, the average car or truck loses almost two percent in gas mileage.

Weekly Energy Tip: Transportation

REMINDER: Per COMNAVACT Spain Instruction 5100.2, it is prohibited to wear headphones, earphones or other devices that restrict or prevent the ability to hear traffic while walking, jogging, running or bicycling.

Naval Station Rota is once again participating in the Regional Energy Biggest Loser (EBL) competition, which will run from Wednesday to July 31.

We will compare current energy use to historical energy use. During the competition, installation usage data will be collected and reported weekly. At the end of the competition period, the winning installations will be chosen based on the greatest percent reduction in electrical consumption. Baseline data will be normalized over the last two years, and differences in temperature will be taken into account; three winners will be announced: $70K for first palce, $50K for second place, and $30K for third place.

The results of the competition will be announced Aug. 7. Help NAVSTA Rota drop its energy consumption during the month of July, and help the base gain one of the three prizes.

Here are some things you can do during the month of July to help the base win this contest:

- Shut down all interior lights when they're not needed. Pay special attention during lunch/breaks, when you leave your spaces, and in common areas like restrooms, conference rooms, aisles, etc.

- Ensure exterior lighting is not on during the day.- Do not use split-type air conditioners (also known

as single-space air conditioner units) in cooling mode unless absolutely necessary (may be used just for ventilation, in blower-mode). Exceptions to this requirement are communication rooms, food storage

spaces, and personnel with a medical problem. Always take safety and health into account when making these decisions.

- When used, temperature settings for air conditioning in general should be kept within the limits.

- Open windows and use natural ventilation as much as possible.

- Eliminate unnecessary and personal appliances from your work spaces.

- Turn off computers, monitors, printers, and copiers at the end of each business day.

- Reduce interior and exterior lighting within safety regulations.

A secondary competition is ongoing to assist with the communication effort and increase awareness among and participation by people living and working on base. This is an energy poster and video competition. All poster and video entries are due to NAVSTA Rota Public Affairs Office via email at [email protected] by Wednesday. NAVSTA Rota will validate and nominate up to three posters and videos for consideration on the Regional competition.

Products can be created by any member of the installation, tenant command, or organization associated with NAVSTA Rota; Sailors, U.S. civilians, local nationals, and direct dependents. The judging criteria of the contest will be based on the message of the submission as well as artistic merit.

More information on specifications and details of this poster and video competition can be found at http:// www.cnic.navy.mil/ebl, which is a website specifically dedicated to this event.

Summer is around the corner and it is the time of the year when families spend the days at the swimming pool, water parks, beach, and other water attractions.

According to the Center for Disease and Control Prevent ion (CDC), swimming is a good way to decrease the risk of chronic illnesses, improve health for people with diabetes and heart disease and protect the joints from stress and strain.

It is always important to take precautions in order to keep the kids safe during this fun season. When it comes to safety, the CDC recommends going by the rule of every hour everyone out of the pool. Use this break to: reapply sunscreen, drink plenty of fluids; and take the kids on a bathroom break. This also is a great opportunity to check swimming gear (goggles, swim vest, floaters, swim fins, and toys) to make sure everything is working properly and when the kids go back in the swimming pool, make

sure to be either in the pool within reach or close by supervising their well-being.

Last but not least, it is important to keep in mind that body temperature drops more quickly in water than on land, and it doesn't take long for hypothermia (when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it) to set in. If a child is shivering or has muscle cramps, get him or her out of the water immediately. Keep these safety tips in mind, practice it and together we can all stay Healthy for Life!

The annual Armed Forces/Overseas Citizens Voter Week is upon us once again and 2015’s edition is from Saturday to July 4.

There are no federal elections this year, however there are numerous municipal and state elections across the country where your vote can make a difference. Local and state officials comprise the vast majority of our elected individuals in the United States. This year some of the largest cities in the country are holding mayoral or city council elections. I encourage you to visit your state, county, and city election websites to determine which positions are up for election and your eligibility to vote in these elections.

Some of you may be wondering, “why should I care about who is elected to these positions?”

You should care because these officials are charged with making decisions with lasting effects, and some of the decisions made have been controversial. In Madison, Wisconsin, the city council recently delayed a vote regarding the distance sex offenders are allowed to live within schools or community centers.

This year, Mike Pence, Indiana governor, signed Senate Bill 101. Opponents fear it may allow business owners to discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people based on religious beliefs while supporters view the bill as a victory for religious freedom. The council members, mayors, governors, and state representatives of these cities and states will be responsible for making critical decisions affecting the future of our beloved cities, states, and in turn, the United States of America.

You could have a say in these decisions by electing officials who will represent your beliefs and opinions.

If you have not already registered to vote, there is still time to register prior to these crucial elections. Register online at the user friendly http://www.FVAP.gov website using the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) online assistant. If you are not tech savvy, then you can always contact myself, the Assistant Installation Voting Assistance Officer (VAO), or your unit VAO and we can set up a meeting to help you fill out a paper form. I can be reached by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 727-1457 from an on base line or 956-82-1457 if you are calling from an off base line. Exercise your Constitutional right and privilege to vote!

Second class petty officers gathered in a train-ing classroom at U.S. Naval Hospital Rota to learn about leadership from a group of first class petty officers involved in the Chief Petty Officer (CPO) 365 program June 16. The first classes wanted to take relevant information they learned from chief petty officers and pass that training down to junior Sailors.

“CPO 365 is preparing the first class petty of-ficers to become chiefs. We take them through developmental training,” said Chief Hospital Corpsman Crystal Ingram, CPO 365 Phase 1 co-leader. “We took them through a process of learning different things chiefs go through. This was for them to train the E-5s with all of the things they have been trained on.”

Four different Sailors taught the ins and outs of deckplate leadership and communication and professionalism in the workplace.

They showed a series of PowerPoints, videos, and displayed two interactive skits focused on bystander intervention and leadership.

“In order to improve yourself you need to know what other people expect out of you,” said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Alexis Sandoval, a participant in the training. “The training was ef-fective and I’m always looking for improvement. Petty officer indoctrination is not sufficient enough in knowing how to become a leader. Seeing this [training] is much more different. We were actually discussing how it should be. Having an actual discussion and bringing in certain tools and learned a lot.”

I expect that we will be diligent, conscientious stewards of the resources given to us. And I will expect that we all contribute to a culture of respect, because each and every one of us deserves no less. That’s really it.”

Rick IrbyTeam Rota in the Spotlight

Photo by MC2 (SW) Grant Wamack

A native of Gartena, Virginia, Rick Irby has been a pillar at the air terminal for the last six years. Before this he started out in the military and served on active duty for 10 years.

He joined the Air Force in 1976 and actually flew through Rota in support of a Navy mission the next year as a C-130 and C141 loadmaster and says it’s very similar to how it looks now. After getting out the military he worked for the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force for a number of years before coming to Rota in 2009.

Irby is the air terminal director of operations. He manages crew transportation, passenger service, and cargo. He also has oversight for the contractors who perform contracts for the terminal, which include

passenger and crew pick-ups. Additionally, he was selected as the 2014 Senior Civilian of the Year for his efforts.

“ I love working for this command,” said Irby. “It’s a busy job and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Rota is the best place I’ve ever lived. People are friendly. It’s safe. You feel it. Is there any place I rather be? No.”

I r b y s a i d h i s b i g g e s t accomplishments thus far are meeting his wife and building a family.

“I think what drives me is my two daughters and my family,” said Irby. “I think once you get older you find out you work hard, you love what you do, but at the end of the day when you’re at home you love your family and there’s nothing like it.

Irby plans to continue working in the air terminal for another 10 years until retirement.

NAVSTA Rota News


There is something soothing about the tick of a clock. Maybe even soothing and terrifying at the same time. If you take time to listen intently, you’ll hear

it. Tick. Silence. Tick. Silence. Tick. Silence. What we don’t realize is that what is happening in the silence is much more important than the tick.

In your wristwatch, a small battery sends a steady electrical current to a tiny quartz crystal, shaped like a tuning fork. The electrical current

causes that crystal to vibrate continuously at 32,768 vibrations per second. Those vibrations produce 32,768 electrical pulses per second, which are sent through circuitry that allows only one of those pulses per second to flow through to a tiny motor in your watch, producing that distinctive tick. Silence. Tick.

Silence. Tick. Silence. The thing about a clock is, regardless of what is

happening in life, and no matter how many items you are juggling or balancing in any given moment, the clock boils everything down to the movement of time. It strips everything away and reduces life to the bare minimum and only reliable constant on earth. Tick. Silence. Tick. Silence. Tick. Silence.

The soothing part about this is that no matter how much I stress about an upcoming permanent change of station, a deadline, or an event, the tick of the clock reminds me that it will happen and eventually it will pass. The terrifying part is exactly the same thing!

But let me tell you why I take comfort in the tick of the clock.

God says to us in Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.”

When we look at the face of a watch, we see the movement of the hands. It’s easy to think that between seconds nothing is happening and the watch isn’t moving. However, when you look inside a

quartz watch, if you could see it with a microscope, you would see a tiny laser-cut quartz crystal shaped like a tuning fork vibrating 32,768 times per second. For every one movement on the surface, there were 32,768 movements behind the scenes that you didn’t know about. These movements were necessary to make the second hand move at precisely the right time.

I can’t even think 32,768 thoughts per second. Sometimes it’s equally as hard to believe God is at work. Sometimes it seems like forever between moments when I see God’s hand moving in my life. What I don’t know is how many movements of God were happening in the silence.

The clock reminds me, as Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” In the stillness, in the silence, I am reminded that for every one movement of the hand on my watch, there were 32,768 movements I didn’t see. How much more is God moving in ways I’ll never see in my own life, or that you’ll never see in yours? Remember the ticks, and be comforted in the silence.

The Movement of God in the Silence of Your Life

The American Red Cross (ARC) Rota is hosting the Home Safety Fair and Scavenger Hunt at the base commissary Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon. It promises to be a fun family event designed to teach your kids about home safety while parents grocery shop.

Each child will be given a Home Safety Scavenger Hunt checklist to complete. There will be home safety activities throughout the store that are fun and interactive that each child will get stamped for in their checklist card.

Some of the safety activities that will be available include are: “How clean are your hands Glo-Germ Hand washing?” “How to Keep Your Pets Cool in Summer,” “Creating Your Very Own Home Safety Kit,” and many more. Children should turn in their completed card to the American Red Cross Rota main table for a chance to win some amazing prizes.

“Learning about safety risks at home at a young age is the best way to develop

lifelong skills that reduce accidents and injuries,” said Jon Glenn, American Red Cross Rota station manager. “Of course it is never too late for the adults to learn a new skill as well.”

In addition to the fun Scavenger Hunt, the Rota Fire Department will have their fire truck at the commissary for kids to get hands-on training and to learn more about fire safety. Be sure not to miss the military working dog teams that will be performing live demonstrations.

ARC Rota is excited to teach kids how to get their home safety ready in fun, hands-on experience. For more information please contact ARC Rota by phone at 727-2333, email at [email protected] or by Facebook at ARC Rota.

Two preventive medicine technicians (PMT) from Navy Environmental and Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) 7 deployed to Utska, Poland June 5 to 20 provide public health support in preparation for the annual Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2015.

BALTOPS is an annual, multinational exercise to enhance maritime capabilities and interoperability with partner nations to promote maritime safety and security in the Baltic Sea.

This was NEPMU 7's first ground mission since being re-commissioned June 2014 after a seven-year hiatus, as well as its first embedded operation with Commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF) 68.

"NEPMU 7 demonstrated full operational capability

on their first deployment," said Capt. Joseph Polanin, commodore, CTF 68. "The support was a huge force multiplier for our task group and adjacent commands.”

The two-man PMT team arrived a week prior to the start of the exercise to conduct an initial assessment at Camp Gorsko. The purpose of the camp assessment and public health support for the exercise proactively ensured personnel would have safe and adequate drinking water, food, living spaces, hygiene facilities, and information on public health risks. Within a week of the camp assessment, NATO forces made Camp Gorsko their temporary home for the duration of the operation.

"Keeping troops safe during any training exercise or combat mission is important and NEPMU 7 provides the commander another layer of safety,” said Lt. Cmdr. Bob Morrison, assistant officer in charge, Naval Forces Europe, Detachment Maritime Ashore Support Team.

“They find the hidden dangers by conducting field surveys and presenting solutions to leadership to keep troops safe from the unseen enemy disease.”

The PMTs rigorous inspection and monitoring of the camp aims to mitigate risk and prevent disease that can threaten the health of forces participating in the exercise and ultimately hinder the success of military operations.

"This is a milestone for our unit; it is fantastic to see our personnel out there supporting the operating forces," said Capt. Juliann Althoff, officer in charge, NEPMU 7. "This is what we are trained to do."

NEMPU 7, located in Rota, Spain, provides theatre-wide preventive medicine support to Navy and Marine Corps forces and joint and combined military operations throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East, whether it's a request for information or a request for forces, the team's highly-skilled and trained professionals are always ready.

himself and the U.S. government. He noted the strong representation of the Spanish military and government officials at the event, underlying the strong historical ties between the two countries. He also discussed the forward deployed guided-missile destroyers at Naval Station Rota and the successful update to the Agreement on Defense Cooperation covering the presence of the Marines at the Morón Air Base.

Costos then turned the microphone over to Gen. John Paxton Jr., assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, to introduce the Morón Marine of the Year, Sgt. Nicholas Perrorazio, squad leader with the Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa,

The P.I.C.K. a Partner Program (How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk or Jerkette) teaches singles of all ages to build healthy relationships and how to follow your heart without losing your mind. Most people do not understand what attaching forces or dynamics operate in their relationships. Yet, there are five adhesive dynamics that create the feelings of attachment in every relationship. When these dynamics are out of balance then you overlook signs of future difficulties in order to maintain your emotional closeness.

Without knowing what these forces are and how they are inter-related, most

people will form over-attachments of the heart, which will override the judgments of the mind.

These bonding forces fully explain the mysterious glue, which creates the thing we call "love." For more information or to register for our workshop, please call 727-3232.

Communication is powerful and directly affects our quality of life and relationships. Our ability to express what we think and feel without clouding our ability to listen and respect how others think and feel is the greatest factor of success in our work and home life.

Yet, communication is an everyday activity that is easily taken for granted.

This workshop helps people use the power of communication to strengthen relationships at work and at home by practicing skills that build effective two-way communication.
