Today's Chiefs: Embracing the Past and Built to Last

‘Color It Up’ at Carney Park

Mid-September is arguably the mostimportant time of the year to a U.S.Navy chief petty officer. This is whennewly accepted chiefs are frocked dur-ing a time-honored pinning ceremony,when their plain khaki uniforms aretransformed by the coveted fouledanchors. These ceremonies, which are held

worldwide regardless of where thechiefs are stationed, are the culmina-tion of the final piece of CPO 365.Although this process has changednames many times since the Navy'sinception of the chief petty officer rankin 1893 the purpose has remainedunchanged: to prepare first classSailors to be the chief.The role of a Sailor has changed dras-

tically over the past decades. In orderto respond to ever-changing duties,chiefs determined that Sailors needed

Base Notes•• ••

Last weekend, the USNHNaples Preventive MedicineAuthority declared NSANDFleet Landing and Olde MillInn (Gaeta) drinking waternon-potable. While currentdrinking water complianceand medical surveillancesampling tests have beenwithin standards, a draftreport of a recent sanitarysurvey of the Gaeta watersystem revealed that thewater filtration and disinfec-tion methods do not meet thestringent requirements outlined in the U.S. Safe DrinkingWater Act and the Environmental Final Governing Standardsfor Italy. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, the non-potable declaration was made due to concerns that the Gaetawater system is currently not adequately protected. NSAND Gaeta personnel working and living in the Gaeta area

are advised to continue to use bottled water for drinking, foodpreparation, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice, and for pets,etc.. We have begun to provide 2 liters of bottled water per dayto those personnel who work on the base. All who live in townshould have a lease provision that their landlord provides bot-tled water for each private residence. Most risks associated withtap water can be reduced or eliminated by drinking bottledwater. Additionally, to minimize risks, ensure your landlord fol-lows the health protective provisions outlined in your lease. Ifthere are those in Gaeta who have older leases that do not havethe bottled water provisions, please contact Housing immediate-ly so they can help modify your agreement. Those individuals who lease a residence that utilizes a water

holding tank are reminded that the landlord is responsible forproviding periodic cleaning to ensure the tank is properlycleaned and maintained. It is the tenant’s responsibility toensure that the landlord conducts the cleaning and mainte-nance. If you have questions or need assistance, please contactthe Housing office. For those aboard the USS Mount Whitney, the ship has a med-

ical surveillance team and additional measures in place to testand disinfect the water, which provides an even higher level ofconfidence. These additional measures ensure the wateronboard the Mount Whitney is completely safe to drink. Bottom line: This is a precautionary advisory only and there

have been no known illnesses caused by the water in Gaeta. Infact, thousands of Italians use the water on a daily basis with-out issue. This is not an emergency but an effort to keep our per-sonnel fully informed about the quality of the water in Gaeta,and to ensure all personnel are aware of any potential risks.While current testing does not indicate the presence of contami-nates, inadequate water treatment could result in contamina-tion which might cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diar-rhea, and associated headaches. It is important to note thatthese symptoms are not only caused by organisms in drinkingwater, but also by other factors. If you experience any of thesesymptoms and they persist, seek medical advice.

NSA Commanding OfficerSupport Site Recycling Program Support Site residents are requested to continue

working to improve waste segregation. Wet waste,also known as compost, is being segregated at avery low rate and needs everyone's attention.

Blood of San Gennaro LiquefiesLast Thursday the liquefaction of

the blood of San Gennaro (St.Januarius) occurred at 9.41 a.m. inNaples. The Archbishop of Napleselevated the reliquary containingthe blood of the Saint in front of ahuge crowd waving white hand-kerchiefs. The blood is preservedin two glass vials and traditionallyliquefies three times a year. Themiracle also takes place on Dec. 16to commemorate the 1631 eruptionof Mt. Vesuvius, which is believedto have been stopped by the saint’sintervention, and on the Saturdaybefore the first Sunday in May.The liquefaction process some-times takes hours or even days. Ifthe miracle does not occur it isthought of as a sign of impendingdisaster. Disaster happened atleast on two occasions when theblood failed to liquefy: in 1527when thousands of people diedfrom the plague and in 1980 whenabout 3,000 people were killed inthe earthquake that devastatedthe provinces of Avellino andBenevento. The first historicalrecord of the liquefaction of theblood dates back to 1389. The saintwas born in Naples and was theBishop of Benevento when he wasmartyred during the Diocletianpersecution of the church.According to the legend, his bodyand head were gathered up by anold man and taken to a safe placeand a local woman filled vials withhis blood.

Etruscan Tombs DiscoveredIn the town of Tarquinia in

Tuscany, which is in the heart ofthe Etruscan reign, Italianarchaeologists discovered anEtruscan tomb containing theskeleton of a presumed princewho lived 2,700 years ago. Theskeleton laid on a raised stoneplatform surrounded by clay potspainted with Etruscan motifs.Archaeologists also found goldjewellery and seals, as well as alance, a javelin and other ceremo-nial objects owned by a person ofroyal status. The entrance to thenecropolis was covered by a hugeslab of stone, which archaeolo-gists carefully removed. The lasttomb was found intact more than30 years ago, but it collapsed. TheEtruscan civilization developedaround seven centuries beforeChrist and the hills and valleys ofsouthern Tuscany, includingparts of Umbria and the northernpart of Lazio, are full of Etruscantombs, many of which are open tothe public.

Cardinal Luis Antonio G. Tagle, Archbishop ofManila, celebrated a Catholic Mass at the NavalSupport Activity (NSA) Naples chapel onSupport Site, Sept. 21.Tagle’s visit marked the first time an active

Cardinal visited the chapel.“This is a historic event for our base, and our

chapel,” said Cmdr. Manuel A. Biadog, com-mand chaplain. “His Eminence’s historic visitand message on board NSA Naples encouragedresiliency among Sailors and their families.”The Cardinal, along with 11 other priests from

Pontificio Collegio Filipino in Rome, blessedmore than 500 attendees including servicemembers, Department of Defense civilians andtheir families during the evening mass.

“Cardinal Tagle’s message of hope, trust andcaring for others challenged his audience to domore for others who have not had the blessingsof God’s Kingdom,” said Biadog.“I found Cardinal Tagle to be exceptionally

gracious and humble,” said Edward Blakeslee, aDepartment of Defense civilian. “His visitbrought a spectrum of Christians, Catholic andnon-Catholic, together as one.”The event, which was created by a team effort

from the Religious Ministry department and theFil-Am Association of Naples, included a choirservice by the Choir of San Rafaelle Archangelo,honor guard from The Knights of Columbus anda reception afterwards hosted by the Fil-AmAssociation of Naples.“All the work and preparation put into making

this event a success was incredible,” saidBlakeslee. “Cardinal Tagle’s visit to the NaplesFilipino-American community was a huge giftand vindication of the spiritual blessings wereceive daily from our own shepherds.”

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples held itsannual Technology Expo in the Bella Napoliconference center on Capodichino, Sept. 24. The event, hosted by the NSA Office of the

Chief Information Officer, enabled base person-nel the ability to see and discuss featured tech-nologies with more than 20 exhibitors in atten-dance. National Conference Services, Inc. (NSCI)

organized the vendors and technologies pre-sented, which changes slightly every year. TheNaples event was part of the internationalseries, which also holds expos in the UnitedKingdom and Germany during the year. Therest of the year the expo travels around the U.S. “It’s open and free to everyone,” said Dayna

Scavelli, from NSCI. “We’re bringing the eventonsite to NSA Naples personnel who are able to

network with these companies from variousindustries so they can see what’s out there andwhat’s available.”“Part of our job is to reach out to personnel on

base, to see what technology they’re interestedin,” said Scavelli, highlighting how the expofluctuates each year to stay relevant for cus-tomers and vendors. “We can reach out andbring those specific needs here.”Information Systems Technician 2nd Class

Miguel Reyes, assigned to Naval Computer andTelecommunications Station Naples, attendedthe expo with a coworker to look into whatinformation it had to provide on fiber optics,cyber security and cloud computing.“We were interested in learning about all the

new technologies the companies had to offer,”said Reyes. Some companies in attendance wanted to

show existing consumers innovations in theirproducts, help ensure therewas full functionality whileutilizing alongside NATOcounterparts. “My main purpose is to

bridge the gap between U.S.users and their counterpartsoverseas,” said BradenEggerl, U.S. representativesfrom a Rohde&Schwarz. “Ican let Sailors know thatthese products exist to maketheir job a little bit easier.”

The Royal Navy com-memorates the successof the British victory atthe Battle of Trafalgarby Admiral LordNelson on Oct. 21,1805, by holding a for-mal dinner each year.This year the RoyalNavy officers in Napleswill hold a dinner onFriday, Oct. 18, whichis open to all U.S. andNATO officers.“Every ship in the

Royal Navy, whichincludes the RoyalMarines, tries to commemorate Trafalgar,” said Capt. DavidHeley, NATO Response Force Permanent Team Leader. “We had spent years and years at sea practicing not just our sea-

manship and navigation, but our gunnery and our fighting skills,”said Heley. “The average British Man of War could outshoot itsopponents 2 to 1 as far as reload. That was a significant factor atthe time of Trafalgar, as well as other battles before and after.”The evening will include a formal service dinner in Mess Dress

with a typical British five-course meal. The U.S. Naval ForcesEurope Band will play at the event, which will also include aspeech about Admiral Lord Nelson, a Loyal Toast to him and thesinging of some sea shanties. “For several years prior to Trafalgar, Napoleon, who by then

occupied a significant amount of the continental Europe, viewedBritain as a major thorn in his side,” said Heley. “We were at warwith him because we had maritime dominance; we were inter-rupting significantly, his trade and we were lending enormoussupport from the sea and on land to his enemies.” Admiral Lord Nelson successfully commanded 27 British vessels

against a Franco-Spanish Fleet of 33 ships of the line during thebattle, which was the most decisive naval victory of the war. For more information on the dinner or for tickets, please contact

Lt. Cmdr. Charlie Neve at 626-3644 or Cmdr. Mark Davies at 081-721-3850.

"CPO 365 was developed for a fewreasons," said West. "First and fore-most, it was brought forward toensure our first class petty officerswere more ready to enter the CPOMess and to bring them alongsideour CPOs early to gain the knowl-edge, skills and abilities to be suc-cessful. We continue to put a lot ofresponsibility on our first classesand CPOs and we need to ensurethey are trained and updated oncontinuing bases."

The program was initially a three-phase training process that exclud-ed FCPOs from participating in thesecond phase if they didn't passtheir rating exam and then exclud-ed them from participating in thethird phase if they weren't selectedfor chief. It has now evolved into atwo-phase process that allows allFCPOs to continue their trainingwhether or not they were selected.

When the E-7 results arereleased, FCPOs who are selectedare allowed to start a series of spe-cialized training sessions, in addi-tion to the regular CPO 365 events,to help prepare them for their tran-sition to chief. Despite criticisms ofthe many changes, CPO 365 is astep in the right direction.

"At this particular point of time inour history, I believe CPO 365 pro-vides us with the best trainingopportunity," said current MCPONMichael Stevens "However, I amalso confident that in time CPO 365will also change because that'swhat we do, we constantly evolve.I'll be a retired MCPON years fromnow and there will be a new name,a new process and new way of doingbusiness to train our chiefs. I'lltrust that it was put in placebecause the times that our futureSailors will serve necessitate that."

West, who retired as the 12thMCPON in 2012, said "I made CPOin 1988. From where we were thento where we are now, we areabsolutely moving in the rightdirection. Could it be better? Youbet. It will continue to evolve as ourgreat Navy moves forward and thecollective mess combines theirinputs."

Despite the negatives, CPO 365 isdesigned to continue to deliverquality chiefs to the fleet. Thisprocess is built by chiefs, run bychiefs and truly focused on Sailordevelopment. One of its main pur-poses is to put newly selected E-7sin direct contact with seasonedchiefs. This allows an expediteddevelopment of the new CPOs aswell as a chance for them to inter-act with their mess and grow com-fortable with their selection.

"We are in a new era in withregard to training new chiefs," saidretired MCPON Jim Herdt. "It'simportant for chiefs who werebrought up in another process tonot condemn or measure them.

Continued from Page 1TODAY'S CHIEFSThey are different, much like I wasdifferent from the chiefs whotrained me.

"Most people think that we havethis process so chiefs can prepareCPO selects to join the ChiefsMess. I believe that it's more thanthat," said Herdt, who served asthe Navy's 9th MCPON. "Thistimeframe is set aside so chiefsworldwide are able to rededicatethemselves and remind themselvesof what being a chief is reallyabout. It's like having a boostershot of 'Chief' every year."

MCPON Herdt stated that with-out this process, we would be morelike our sister services and havethree separate senior enlisted rat-ings with no continuity betweenthem.

pletely halted while I attendedthose academies," said Ferguson. "Ihad one, maybe two NCOs trainingme in each course, and thoseinstructors were also completelypulled from doing their usual mis-sions in the Army. I walked awayfrom [CPO 365] with a great dealmore from a Mess that continued tohandle its daily missions, as did I.There is nothing like the power ofthe Mess to train itself, take care oftroops, and make things happen."

One thing leaders need to under-stand is this is not supposed to betaking folks out of their commandsall the time, said West.

"This is about providing a venueand an opportunity to bring qualitytraining sessions to the particulargroup - a building block," said West."The sad thing is you can makeFCPO and not receive any otherformal classroom training on lead-ership. This is another way toinvest in the growth of our enlistedleaders."

Ferguson agreed."I loved CPO 365. I loved what it

put me through personally, and Iloved what I saw it do to my broth-ers and sisters. I do agree that itshould be a 365-day process. Ithink a mixture of the two is great.Having that lead off time to coverNavy programs and proceduresreally helped. The whole processwas so foreign to me, because it isso unlike anything we go throughin the Army. But it was one of thebest experiences of my life. I lovethe Army, and I've made someamazing lifelong friendships in theArmy, been through some incredi-bly things with some folks, butnothing, absolutely nothing com-pares to that moment when some-body hears those words, "Welcometo the Mess!" ... it's monumental,it's motivating on a whole otherlevel," said Ferguson.

MCPON Herdt noted thatarguably we are making betterchiefs today than we ever have inthe past.

"Today's chief petty officers are nodoubt taking the high road with

their training. They have the abili-ty to be innovative and aren'tafraid of change," said Herdt. "I'mso proud of today's chiefs. Theydon't understand how truly goodthey are at what they do. Theirpride in appearance and physiqueand their leadership skill hasnever been better than it is today."

Chief Hospital Corpsman JoeSantos, U.S Pacific Fleet's Sailor ofthe Year and a newly promotedchief, noted that a lot of informa-tion gained during Phase II can'tbe learned in a classroom setting.

"An academy setting would trulytake away from the importance ofwhat it means to be called 'TheChief,'" Santos said. "Growing upin the Navy, I've always heard thatchiefs are not born, chiefs are madeby other chiefs, and I firmly believethe experience gained from PhaseII prepares your mind to think, actand perform as a chief. You learnfrom each and every chief pettyofficer regardless of pay grade orwhether they are active, retired orreserve."

"CPO 365 is about our moment inhistory more than it is about mybelief that this is the absolute rightway to do it," Stevens said. "Ibelieve it's the right way to do ittoday, but I certainly can't speakfor the future."

The Chiefs Mess has come a longway since its inception in 1893. Nomatter what the process is calledtoday, U.S. Navy chiefs will contin-ue to train their own and preparethem for the trials and tribulationsof being and carrying the title"chief petty officer."

"I think CPO 365 has been huge-ly successful, mostly due to themany CPOs who have embracedthe concept and moved it forward,"said West. "Of those groups thathave embraced the concept you cansee those messes flourish. I sayembrace the brilliance of the pastto forge the future. We simply can'tbe looking backward when itcomes to training our Sailors. Wehave to determine what we can doand move forward at All AheadFlank."

Learning toMake FreshTomato Sauce

Full immersion in the Italian way oflife occurred last Monday as partici-pants from the Naples-Gaeta communi-ty learned hands-on how to make freshtomato sauce with "Nonna" and"Mama" during a Fleet and FamilySupport Center workshop.Attendees learned step-by-step how to

make their own bottles of fresh redtomato sauce. Several teams of partici-pants were engaged at different sta-tions, working hard at the differentphases of the tomato-sauce makingprocess. Station one had the responsibility of

selecting only the best tomatoes andeliminating the bad ones. Station twohad to carefully wash the tomatoes asstation three was in charge of the firstcooking of the tomatoes in a big pot fullof boiling water on a wooden fire.Tomatoes were then moved to thesquashing station, which transformedthe cooked tomatoes into sauce. Thesauce was then moved to the bottlingline where other attendees had to makesure the bottles where closed andsealed. The last step was to cook thesauce again inside the bottles. Everybody moved from one station to

the next getting the full understandingof traditional Italian tomato saucepreparation. Questions were answeredthroughout the day and another pieceof the “Bella Italia” puzzle was puttogether.

Ferguson was granted permissionto go through CPO 365 while sta-tioned at Fort Meade, Md., in 2011.After her first request was denied,MCPON West finally granted herthe ability to participate, but onlyafter she filed the correct forms andrequests through her chain of com-mand, wrote a point paper abouthow this process would benefit bothher and the Army, and attendedCPO 365 in its entirety. She wasable to convince her Army leader-ship that participating in CPO 365would make her a better Soldier.

"Prior to [CPO 365] I had attend-ed three different NCO educationcourses in the Army, each approxi-mately three to six weeks inlength. All of those were at acade-mies with dedicated instructors.All of my normal missions com-

Are You Preparedfor Disaster? Plotting Your Career

Career Navigator: Career Waypoints

Career Navigator was launched June 3 and isdesigned to help Sailors make informed decisionsabout their career. This is a major shift from theway the Navy has done business in the past becauseit puts career management tools at Sailors finger-tips. The Navy wants to spread the word about these

policy changes which is why Navy PersonnelCommand is deploying their fleet engagement teamto talk to Sailors about the changes. These expertsrecently visited Norfolk to tell Sailors, their leadersand their families everything they need to knowabout one of the most important parts of CareerNavigator; Career Waypoints Reenlistment or C-Way.

C-Way reenlistment deals with Sailors E-3through E-6 with less than 14 years of activeduty."Career waypoints are, in a nautical term, if a

sailor is navigating his or her career, there are dif-ferent avenues to take or different waypoints toreach, to make that career decision," said Capt.Bruce Deshotel, the head enlisted community man-ager at the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) inMillington, Tenn.

C-Way is a sub-program of Career Navigatorand Sailors will recognize some of the process-es and language from PTS. "[It's] basically the reenlistment authorization,

lateral conversion authorization, the reserve toactive component, the active component to reserve,and the ability for reservists to request lateral con-version," said Chief Personnel Specialist ChristieCole, Career Waypoints leading chief petty officer."It's all contained in Career Waypoints."The Navy has programs like C-Way to have the

right Sailors in the right jobs at the right time. Colecompared the process to a bag of chocolate candy."If I have a 200 count bag of M&Ms and I have 60

reds but I only have 3 blues, I need to somehowchange those reds to blues," said Cole. "It's the sameconcept. I may have 322,000 Sailors in the Navy butif out of those I need 2,000 of them to be PR's , if Ionly have 1200 and I need 2000, where's that other800 going to come from? Well, that's going to comefrom another rating that maybe has 3500 and onlyneeds to have 300."Career Waypoints isn't just a new name for an old

program. The principle of PTS remains but Colesays C-Way is a lot more Sailor friendly. "They get faster answers and they can make more

educated career decisions at a sooner point," saidCole.

C-Way allows Sailors to make decisions soon-er so they're not being faced with the chal-lenges of rotating or separating on shortnotice.Cole said the differences are that we have manda-

tory applications at a Sailor's projected rotationdate (PRD) and soft end of active obligated servicedate (EAOS). "The reason that the applications are set up the

way they are is because nine months prior to a PRD,the Sailor is in their window, so they're going to becommunicating with their detailer for their next setof orders," said Cole.

A Sailor goes into their C-Way window 12 monthsbefore the PRD, which means they can begin torequest reenlistment. With commanding officer’sapproval and in an open or balanced rating, a Sailorshouldn't have a problem getting approval throughthe system to reenlist before the 9 month mark priorto their PRD. If they don't get picked up for reen-listment, they remain where they are stationeduntil 13 months before their EAOS. Then they getthe 3-2-1 options.The 3-2-1 process begins 12 months before a

Sailor's EAOS. They begin the process having threeoptions: they can apply to reenlist in their own rate,convert to a different rate or transition to thereserve. The application receives four reviews. If it'snot approved by the 10 month mark, the number ofoptions is reduced to two; convert or go reserve.That application also receives four reviews. Once aSailor hits the six month mark from their EAOS,they will only have the option to go reserve. Thatapplication is reviewed three times. In general, every rating is manned differently and

every Sailor’s situation is different. The C-Way wasdesigned to be more user-friendly. In PTS, some-times a Sailor didn't know they could reenlist untilsix months prior to their EAOS which put themwithin the "Needs of the Navy.” That forced Sailorsto fill critical billets whether or not it was their firstchoice. "Now they know at 10 months prior, when they go

to talk to their detailer and making applications inCMS-ID," said Cole. "They know that they're stay-ing in-rate, and they know they'll be able to reen-list."NPC is publishing a monthly manning snapshot

on its website of all active enlisted ratings as well asfull time support. Skill sets are divided into threecategories: Open for rates less than 98 percentmanned, Balanced for rates between 98 and 102percent manned, and Competitive for rates morethan 102 percent. Another perk of C-Way is the vast majority of first

class petty officers in open rates will receive instantapproval on their first reenlistment application.Officials say that soon, some balanced rates willreceive the same auto-confirmation for E-6s on thefirst application.Deshotel said the enhancements to the Navy's

enlisted career management system for Sailors arelike looking in a crystal ball. "It shows them what they're up against; it shows

them what the fleet is as a whole and how they fitin," said Deshotel. "It provides them information,that before, wasn't available to them without thecareer counselors."The NPC fleet engagement team will give C-Way

presentations on board several ships in San Diegoat the end of September and plans to visit more fleetconcentration areas before the end of the year. Colesaid the visits aren't just to get the word out, butalso because they want to empower Sailors with thetools they need to succeed."You have to be in control of your own career," said

Cole. "The more you educate yourself on the stepsyou need to take to elongate your career, the betteroff you are." There are many resources out there for anyone

with questions about Career Waypoints. The CareerNavigator program is outlined in NAVADMIN150/13. Visit the NPC website and click on CareerWaypoints under Career Navigator. Sailors can alsosend their questions to career_waypoints@navy.milor call 1-866-U-ASK-NPC to get their questionsanswered over the phone.

September, designated as National Preparedness Month, is almostover. However; being prepared for an emergency or disaster is some-thing that never ends. Here in Naples, whether it’s an earthquake,volcanic eruption or a house fire that threatens; all families need adisaster plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes so it’s

important to plan in advance. Does each member of your familyknow a safe place to go in a disaster? How will you contact oneanother? How will you get back together? Do you know what to doin case of a disaster? This is where a family emergency/disaster plancomes in.This plan should at a minimum include:

• A meeting place right outside the home in case of a sudden emer-gency like a fire or earthquake.

• A location where everyone should meet if they can't go home. • An out-of-area contact who can help connect separated family

members.All members of the household should work together on the emer-

gency plan and each person should know how to reach other familymembers.You should also inquire about emergency plans at places where

your family spends time: work, daycare and school, faith organiza-tions, sports events and commuting. If no plans exist, consider vol-unteering to help create one. Talk to community leaders and othersabout how you can work together in the event of an emergency. Youwill be better prepared to safely reunite your family and loved onesduring an emergency if you think ahead and communicate inadvance.The Naples American Red Cross encourages the Naples communi-

ty to assess and prepare for their local disaster risks. Use theresources available at www.redcross.org/prepare/disaster-safety-library. You can download a Family Disaster Plan Template that youcan complete and share with family members. The Naples Red Cross is ready to help. Stop by the office in Admin

II for information on what we have to offer and to obtain informa-tion about what to do before, during, and after emergencies and dis-asters. You can also contact the Disaster Action Team Chair atjeff.arter@redcross.org for more information.

First Classes Help Remove Debrisfrom Naples Underground

Members of the NavalComputer and Telecom -munications Station NaplesFirst Class Petty OfficersAssociation volunteered at theTunnel Borbonico, also knownas Naples Underground, Sept.14, where curators are restor-ing the tunnels and removingdebris left from World War IIbombings. The volunteers hauled dirt

and rock from the tunnels,uncovering relics dating back tothe reign of King Ferdinand II."I found the volunteer work

very gratifying,” said In -formation Systems Technician1st Class Shaun Rush. “I real-ly enjoyed working with theItalians and getting to work onsomething that had so muchhistory. Clearing out the tun-nels and discovering lost his-torical items was truly a oncein a lifetime experience." These ancient tunnels, locat-

ed in downtown Naples, dateback to the monarchy of KingFerdinand II of Bourbon. Thetunnels were originally con-structed as the king's secretpassage from the Royal Palaceto the military barracks in Viadella Pace, which is now ViaMorelli. The tunnels wouldlater act as a shelter for citi-zens escaping the ravages ofWorld War II. During the war,areas above the makeshift

shelter were bombed, leavingsome of the tunnels in ruins."The historical significance

was by far the most interest-ing part,” said Information

Systems Technician 1st ClassTrayvon Filer. “We found awide range of artifacts.Everyone should visit the tun-nels and take a tour."

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other thanan active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit withineight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approvalfor entry into the country.

All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signatureis required at the time of application.

NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING TOITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.

As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office (RLSOEURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisition of the SojournerPermit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Armyand Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at theJFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.

On a beautiful, crystal clear day in San Diegomore than 600 people made up of SEALs, friends,and family members bid a final farewell to retiredU.S. Navy SEAL Senior Chief Petty Officer TyroneSnowden Woods. Chaplain Scott Adams and I paidrespect, attended, spoke, prayed, and witnessed adignified celebration of the life of Woods a year agoon Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012 at the chapel of NavalAir Station North Island. Chaplain Adams served as host chaplain and I

was requested to represent and minister to theWoods and De Guzman-Narvaez families. Woods was born and raised by his Bible-believing

parents in Portland, Ore. He was a 1989 graduateof Oregon City High School. He served 20 years ofhonorable service in the Navy before joining StateDepartment Diplomatic Security.In 2006, Woods was awarded the Bronze Star

Medal with Combat "V" for valor for his actionsagainst enemy insurgents in the volatile Al Anbarprovince in Iraq. He led 12 direct action raids and10 reconnaissance missions leading to the captureof 34 enemy insurgents. In addition, he led 16SEALs and 8 Iraq Scouts on a 50-hour, 800-milemounted patrol that threaded through directenemy fire and constant exposure to enemy mor-tar, rocket, sniper, and improvised explosive devicewhich led to the capture of a high value Al-Qaedafacilitator. Woods’ decisive actions effectively sup-pressed the enemy attack and resulted in nofriendly casualties.Woods also served in dangerous assignments

with the U.S. State Department DiplomaticSecurity in Latin America before his assignmentin Libya, which is where he lost his life along withthree others, including Ambassador J. ChristopherStevens, at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi onSept. 11, 2012."If not for him, the 30 people inside the consulate

would not have made it out," said U.S. Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clinton as she described ofWood's death in a foreign policy magazine. Whenthey came under attack, both Woods and fellowSEAL Glen Doherty immediately took up defen-sive positions trying to protect AmbassadorStevens and the U.S. consulate compound. Their heroism is extraordinary when you con-

template the odds they were facing. Woods andDoherty fought through the firefight, providingtime for the other consulate employees to be res-cued. In about two to three hours, they held off the

attackers underheavy and severeautomatic weaponsfire, including RPGsand mortar roundshitting on their posi-tion around the con-sulate grounds.Eventually, thesetwo brave heroeswere overwhelmed by a numerically superior forceand knowing they were certainly going to losetheir battle.They both lived and died based in the Navy

During the celebration of the life of Woods, theeulogies were rendered. His wife, Dr. DorothyWoods, spoke gallantly about her husband's love ofGod and Country and exhorted her husband's fel-low SEALs and all hands present to continue thefight and defeat the enemies of freedom aroundthe world. A fellow SEAL Capt. Bill Wilson said, "Today is

not a day of empathy. Tyrone fought for hoursagainst the enemies and at his last moments of hislife Tyrone was thinking about his family." Wilson,while looking at the flag-draped casket and a smil-ing photo of Woods, ended his remarks, "Werespect and admire you fighting the enemy. Youare our hero.""We don't know why these things happen, but we

know of God's character and his loving ways; a lotof good things will come of this,” said CharlesWoods, Tyrone’s father. “I am in peace with this aspromised in the Bible in Romans 8:28. Tyrone is asolid Christian and a man of faith."To the very end of your lives, you both lived up to

the SEAL code. You both served our nation well inthe face of severe adversity and certain death.Thank you for your sacrifice and faithful service toGod and country.
