CREDO OffersOne-Day MarriageWorkshopBy MC3 Caitlin Conroy-Feddersen, Navy Public

Affairs Support Element-East Detachment Europe

Participants from 14 nations attended a pre-sail conference March 7 inDakar, Senegal to kick off Exercise Saharan Express 2013 (SE-13). SE-13 is a maritime exercise designed to improve cooperation among par-

ticipating nations in order to increase counter-piracy capabilities and determaritime crimes in West Africa.This exercise provides African, European and U.S. maritime services the

opportunity to work together, share information and refine methods in orderto help West African nations better monitor and enforce their territorialwaters.“Saharan Express is important because the skills we will practice over the

next few weeks can be used to enforce African maritime laws, and that willultimately improve the lives of the people from the nations representedhere,” said Capt. Andrew Lennon, U.S. exercise director.Although focused on counter-piracy and maritime security operations, the

exercise includes a wide variety of training for all participating forces,including at-sea ship boarding and queries, medical familiarization, air oper-ations, communication drills and regional information sharing.SE-13, which has occurred annually since 2011, is one of four African

express-series exercises known as Africa Partnership Station (APS). Theregional maritime exercises test skills learned from previous APS trainingevents. “Since 2011, Exercise Saharan Express has become the most privileged

time of year in the annual event calendar of the Senegalese navy,” said RearAdm. Cheikh Bara Cissokho, Senegalese chief of navy staff. “SaharanExpress is a pertinent concept that contributes to raising the operationallevel of our forces and the fight against trafficking at sea.”SE-13 takes place following the successful completion of Exercise

Obangame Express 2013, another APS regional exercise focused on the Gulfof Guinea.As part of the U.S. Navy’s global maritime partnerships, APS was devel-

oped to support sustained, focused training and multinational and organiza-tional collaboration on a regional scale in order to increase maritime safetyand security in Africa.APS serves to strengthen global maritime partnerships through training

and collaborative activities in order to improve maritime safety and securityin Africa.Eight West African and six European nations are scheduled to participate

in SE-13 including Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, France, The Gambia, Liberia,Mauritania, Morocco, The Netherlands, Portugal, Senegal, Sierra Leone,Spain, United Kingdom and the United States.

our marriage workshops like this, orthrough our weekend long marriageenrichment retreats, is provide somethingspecial, to provide skills and tools for indi-viduals and couples to draw on to meet allthe challenges of military and married lifesuccessfully,” said Cmdr. MichaelPumphrey, CREDO director and classfacilitator.This is the second one-day marriage

workshop held in the Naples area, withapproximately four scheduled each year.Communication, problem solving, han-dling stress as a couple and learning tohave fun together were topics included inthe workshop. “The military in general is constantly

putting families in a position wherethey’re separated for long amounts oftime, which equals a lot of stress on rela-tionships. My husband and I wanted touse the resources available to us to try tostrengthen our marriage,” said KristaRiester, workshop participant.

Base Notes•• ••

From Panorama staff reports

We are all in the middle of anincredibly busy month. If you aren’tmaking preparations for your PCSmove this summer, you are likelyworking on your spring break plans.Or, maybe you’re trying to figure outwho will make the Final Four duringMarch Madness. In any case, knowthat I’m only asking a select few ofyou – our 1,000 service membersresiding off base – to participate inthe Overseas Housing Allowance(OHA) Utility and RecurringMaintenance Survey for Italy. This online survey is important, andthere are only two weeks left to complete it. Why is this survey impor-tant? Because it influences the Utility/ Recurring Maintenanceallowance paid to uniformed personnel who live in private housing outin town. We had great participation for the Cost of Living Allowancesurvey in January. But now, I’m asking all who are eligible to completethe Utility and Recurring Maintenance Survey to step up. Takeadvantage of this year’s opportunity to report related expenses. Thelink to the survey is www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/marutil.cfm. Starting next week, service members have another important oppor-

tunity. The Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) is scheduled tohost various focus group sessions on sexual assault prevention andresponse for military personnel E-5 and below. The goal is to hear fromour junior enlisted on how we can better focus our Sexual AssaultPrevention and Response (SAPR) program. Naples-area SAPR coordi-nators want to improve their program, and I strongly support theseefforts. Sexual assault in the military is a problem that particularlyaffects personnel ages 25 and under. We need our Sailors to speak upand offer their ideas for eliminating sexual assault. And more impor-tantly, we need our Sailors motivated to prevent, intervene and stopthis crime. Fostering a culture of respect and professionalism in ourorganization is mission critical.On a completely different note, I want to remind everyone that we

will soon begin a yearlong effort to measure the indoor levels of a nat-urally occurring gas called radon. If you missed last week’s Panorama,check it out on our Facebook page (posted March 8) because there is alot of good information about what this study means. But here’s thegist of it: As the first Navy base in Europe, NSA Naples is leaning for-ward to install what are called alpha-track detectors in our currentfacilities. The detectors will be placed near the ceilings of basementsand ground-level spaces where they will collect air data for experts toanalyze next year. Our last radon study was more than 20 years agowhen Support Site didn’t even exist. So, we are obviously planning tostudy all of NSA Naples’ current sites. The results won’t be availableuntil the fall of 2014. Don’t hesitate to contact the base environmentalteam if you have any questions.We're opening a new food court today at Capo called Bella Napoli. A

ton of effort went into making this happen, so I want to thank all whowere involved. Seven food vendors will now operate out of the old gal-ley building alongside the piazza. These vendors will offer everythingfrom American breakfast items and Philly cheese steaks to sushi andItalian cuisine. Equally exciting, Navy Entertainment is bringing inan eclectic Celtic band named The Rogues to perform in the new digs.I hope everyone enjoys the Sunday night show.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

With spring break coming, youmight find it challenging to keepyour children occupied. There'salways temptation of letting tech-nology fill the void, but technologyisn't the best babysitter.As kids' online usage increases

so does the concern ofcyberthreats. Parents play anintegral role in their children'sdigital lives. It's never too early ortoo late to establish media guide-lines for your family. Use thebelow tips to start a conversationwith your kids about how to safe-ly surf the internet.

• A recent survey by security soft-ware maker AVG shows thatmore children between the agesof two and five know how tooperate a smartphone applica-tion than know how to tie theirshoes. To teach smart mediahabits, use media devicestogether and talk about whatyou see, hear, and read.

• Even if you choose to use aninternet filter, help kids findpositive and safe sites online.There are many websitesdesigned specifically for school-age children that incorporatestrong safety features in orderto facilitate safe play free frominappropriate content or con-tact. Ensure that any socialmedia sites your school-agechildren does frequent offerflexible parental controls thatallow you to set limits on whomthey contact and when.

• Start a conversation aboutFacebook. Encourage your teento use strong privacy settingsand remind them to only"friend" people online that theywould "friend" in real life - evena "private" post can be forward-ed by an unscrupulous onlineacquaintance. Set rules aboutwhat's appropriate to post, bothfor photos and other updates.Ask your teen to reflect on howothers, both now and in thefuture, will view their onlinelife.

• If you wouldn't let childrenhave an unsupervised playdate, they aren't ready to beonline by themselves. The skillsthey bring to the online worldare the same ones they have inreal life. Remind your youngerchildren that online rules ofconducts are the same as reallife rules: if it's not okay to sayto someone's face, it's not okayin cyberspace.

NATO’s largest anti-submarine warfare exer-cise, concluded in the Ionian Sea, March 6.

U.S. 6th Fleet units that participated in theexercise were the guided-missile destroyer USSBarry (DDG 52) and a P-3 aircraft from PatrolSquadron 4.

“Proud Manta 2013 was a great success. TheNATO exercise planners continue to outdo them-selves with this event every year.” said Lt.Gregory Schmidt, exercise officer for DestroyerSquadron 60. “Proud Manta provides a valuabletraining opportunity for U.S. ships unlike anyother in the theater.”

POMA 13 helps create an environment thatpromotes maritime safety and security in theregion, and interoperability among participatingnations.

“The exercise environment offered USS Barryhundreds of hours of sub-surface contact timeand the ability to enhance interoperability incoordinated anti-submarine warfare, close quar-

ters maneuvering, NATO communications,boarding procedures and air control,” said Lt.Schmidt.

The training included anti-submarine war-fare, anti-surface warfare and precursor opera-tions.

“Proud Manta was certainly a success fromour point of view,” said Cmdr. Andrew Loth, exer-cise planner for U.S. 6th Fleet’s Task Force 67.“Our units were able to fly 14 missions compris-ing almost 70 hours of flight time, gaining 13qualifications and 15 hours of sub-surface con-tact time. As a result, we have two additionalfully-trained aircrews.”

The U.S. participants appreciated the oppor-tunity to strengthen relations with allies.

“We look forward to seeing what NATO willoffer with Proud Manta in the future,” said Lt.Schmidt.

Here are some tips to keep in mind while it gets alittle warmer outside:

- Hang clothes outside on clothes lines. Have fresh-air scent and save yourself some money.

- Use your grill more and you kitchen less. Grillingis not only healthy for your body, it’s also easier onyour wallet. One large bag of charcoal can provide enough to cookfor a family of four for up to five days.

- Walk more and drive less. If something is a reasonable distancefrom you house, just walk.

- Turn off the T.V. and play a board game. Increase family timewhile decreasing your power bill.

- Water plants and gardens in the early mornings or late in theevening. There is cooler temperatures and usually calmer winds.Make better use of the water and promote better growth of plants.

The Navy is looking for recipes that are easy,healthy and created with Sailors living in bache-lor quarters in mind. To inspire a little "healthy" competition, Navy

Nutrition is holding a recipe contest to compilean online barracks cookbook officials saidMarch 6."This cookbook contest is meant to be a fun way

to encourage Sailors to showcase the creativeways they eat well with limited resources," saidLt. Cmdr. Jennifer Wallinger, a dietitian with theNavy Physical Readiness Office. "Many Sailorsare finding ways to make easy and tasty meals,without a full-size kitchen and pantry. We wantyou to share these ideas". The goal of the contest is to compile a collection

of recipes that are compatible with barracks life.A recipe may consist of cooking foods in amicrowave or as simple as assembling ingredi-ents. If you are making it and it is healthful, wewant it in the cookbook. Each recipe may only besubmitted once, but you may enter as manyrecipes as you like. The rules include a limit on the number of

ingredients, pieces of equipment and recipesteps. "If you live in the barracks, you have lim-ited storage space, limited utensils and, in com-pliance with housing rules, a microwave for aheating element." explained Wallinger. With the recipe contest running in conjunction

with Navy Nutrition Month, there is also focuson nutritional value. "The number of ingredientswill be limited, but there is no limit to the flavor;herbs and spices are encouraged" Wallinger con-tinued. "We are just limiting added componentssuch as sodium, which affects many prone tohigh blood pressure, and fat to keep in line withdietary guidelines. We have included an expla-nation on how to determine the amount of sodi-um and fat for each recipe in the rules."Entries to the contest will be accepted in seven

categories, which are broken down by when youare likely to eat them, for instance; breakfast,sandwich/wrap, snack, vegetables, starchy side,main course (entre) and sweet treat.The contest will run from now until 31 March

at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time zone. For more information and contest rules visit

Navy Asks You to ShareYour Culinary CreativityFrom Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is co-funding an afford-able, hi-tech, solution for managing stress that could help pre-vent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), helping warfightersand potentially saving billions of dollars in associated medicalcosts, officials announced March 6.ONR, in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research

Projects Agency, is sponsoring development of the StressResilience Training System (SRTS), an iPad app training pro-gram that teaches Sailors and Marines to understand theirstress responses and manage them by learning biofeedbacktechniques that work for their individual needs. The system will undergo field testing at the Naval Center for

Combat and Operational Stress Control (NCCOSC) in SanDiego this April.Lessening the impact of PTSD to warfighters, the military and

the nation is crucial. According to a February 2012Congressional Budget Office report, 21 percent of military per-sonnel returning from overseas contingency operations (OCO)in Afghanistan and Iraq suffer from PTSD. The cost to treatthese individuals is nearly 3.5 times higher than for someonewithout PTSD or traumatic brain injury, which works out toclose to $1 billion when multiplied by the total number of OCOpatients."The SRTS app provides users with an easy-to-access tool that

helps them build resilience toward stressful events so that whenthey encounter those events, the likelihood of experiencingPTSD or any other aftereffects from stress is reduced," saidCmdr. Joseph Cohn, program officer in ONR's WarfighterPerformance Department and originator of the SRTS project.Using only an iPad and a heart rate monitor clipped to one

earlobe, the SRTS App comprises four sections: "Know How,"which provides Sailors and Marines with information aboutstress and resilience and how to apply this knowledge to theirmissions; "Techniques," which explains how they can bringthemselves into the best mental and physiological state possibleto build resilience and achieve peak performance; "Games,"which allows them to practice applying the resilience skillslearned; and "Review," which helps them track their trainingprogress.The game-based app allows players to choose from several

increasingly challenging training scenarios while the monitorrecords when the heart rate rhythm, also known as heart ratevariability, becomes incoherent - a sign of stress. Through game-play, Sailors and Marines will learn which techniques, such asdeep breathing or muscle relaxation, help them maintain orregain coherence, to manage their unique stress responses.Once learned, users can transfer these approaches to real-lifesituations."We're capitalizing on past research and making a leap that

one way of managing PTSD lies in learning to more effectivelymanage your stress," Cohn said. The SRTS is unique because it pulls together two proven

premises - that novices and experts manage stress in differentways, so there's the potential for training, and that good train-ing requires good feedback. It then combines them with analready established distribution point: the NCCOSC, whichfocuses on promoting resilience and investigating best practicesin diagnosing and treating PTSD.Preventing PTSD is critical for mission preparedness and suc-

cess, and it goes to the heart of one of the chief of naval opera-tions' "Sailing Directions," that the Department of the Navy has"a professional and moral obligation to uphold a covenant withSailors, civilians and their families - to ably lead, equip, trainand motivate.""The SRTS's development and operational evaluation would

not have been possible without the funding we received fromDARPA and ONR, who exhibited a willingness to take risks thatyield significant S&T advances" said Dr. Gershon Weltman, vicepresident of Perceptronics Solutions, the prime contractor forthe app's development.

Navy Nutrition Month is agreat time to focus on mealplanning and ways to make iteasier, said Lt. Cmdr.Jennifer Wallinger, a dieti-tian with the Navy PhysicalReadiness Office, March 8. "Meal planning overwhelmsmany, but there are strate-gies that can keep it simple.The choosemyplate.gov web-site for example, shows youhow a balanced plate willlook and divides the plateinto four components plusdairy," continued Wallinger."Once you know what yourplate will look like, it's just amatter of choosing foodswithin each category." The website walks youthrough building a great plate

with about one-half fruits andvegetables, one-quarter wholegrains, and one-quarter leanprotein. Selecting the leastprocessed foods low in addedsugar, salt and fat will beamong the best choices, buteven if one chooses otherfoods, they can still strike abalance by filling the othercomponents with good choic-es."Have fun in the kitchenwhen building your plate,involve your friends and fam-ily," stressed Wallinger."Including your kids inselecting foods allows them tobe part of the process and is agreat way to improve eatinghabits. Knowing more aboutour food and where it comesfrom tends to make healthfulchoices easier." Navy Physical Readiness

(www.npc.navy.mil/support/physical) has several nutritionresources to help people stayenergized and create a posi-tive impact to their body andmind. The Navy OperationalFueling card deck (www.npc.navy.mil/support/physical/Documents/NOFFS_Operational%20Fueling.pdf) offers guid-ance on how to choose foodsand portions and also includes"nutrition rules to live by." Additionally, the Navy andMarine Corps Public HealthCenter has launched itsHealthy Living initiative(www.nmcphc.med.navy.mil/Healthy_Living), in conjunc-tion with DoD's OperationLive Well (www.defense.gov/home/features/2012/0812_live-well/), underscoring therelationship between physi-cal and emotional wellness.

Program (PREP) which was designed with relationship-strengthen-ing in mind. “PREP really focuses on building mutual understanding and

therefore intimacy through the use of active reflective listening,which constitutes listening and talking with the ultimate goal ofbuilding understanding for each other,” said Pumphrey’s. CREDO is a Chief of Naval Operations initiative and offers sever-

al retreats to help people develop personally, professionally andspiritually. Each year CREDO hosts family and spiritual growthretreats for individuals to develop their religious beliefs and mar-riage retreats for couples to explore positive ways to keep their mar-riage growing.“Ideally I’d love our communication to be perfect, but since that

isn’t realistic I guess I want to be able to cope and relate to eachother as best we can, learn to understand each others ways of com-municating, overcome each others weakness and play off each oth-ers strengths,” said Riester.For more information on CREDO visit https://www.

You have heard the buzz about a new, improved transitionprogram called Transition GPS (Goals, Plans, Succeed), buthere is a little background just to be sure you have all the lat-est information.Transition GPS complies with the president's plan (under the

Veterans Opportunity to Work Act) to reduce veteran unem-ployment and augment transition support. Service membersmust not only complete a pre-separation counseling checklist -something that has been mandatory - but must also attend theTransition GPS five-day workshop. The new workshop includes a standardized program with an

extensive military-to-civilian skills review, financial planning,Department of Labor job search skills building and VeteransAffairs (VA) briefings. Additionally, optional courses will beoffered to enhance the pursuit of higher education, technicaltraining or entrepreneurship. The crux of the entire program is something called "Career

Readiness Standards" (CRS). The pre-separation counselingand Transition GPS workshop work together to improve servicemembers' preparedness for the next phase of their lives in thecivilian world. This is measured by the CRS. These standardsensure service members reach a pinnacle of readiness for thecivilian workforce. Some of the CRS are relatively simple to fulfill and measure,

such as registering for eBenefits. Other CRS require more effortfrom the service member; for example, evaluating the demandof a particular job (occurs during the Military Occupation Codecrosswalk portion of the five-day workshop) and preparing afull job application package which includes resume and refer-ences. So how do commands and staff know if a service member has

accomplished their CRS? Transition GPS provides servicemembers with an Individual Transition Plan (ITP) which docu-ments their progress through the transition process. The ITPhelps service members identify their goals regarding educationand training, employment and financial health, so they can bet-ter plan the transition of their military skill-sets into the civil-ian workforce and experience greater success quickly. The CRS are embedded in each ITP. Command Career

Counselors and Fleet and Family Support Center staff reviewthe ITP during the transition process. At the conclusion, servicemembers present their ITP at a capstone event for evaluation,to make sure the CRS have been met. Military and family mem-bers are sure to be better prepared when they transition out ofthe military.

Transition GPS in NaplesTransition GPS workshops are provided throughout the cal-

endar-year at the Fleet and Family Support Center. A servicemember can attend the class at any point in their career. It ishighly recommended that it is attended at least 1 year prior toyour separation.Check the FFSC Facebook page for a schedule and register

through your command career counselor. If you have any ques-tions, contact the coordinator, Suzette Brown, at 081-811-6542.

Helicopter Mine Countermeasures SquadronFifteen (HM-15) celebrated Women's HistoryMonth, March 3, with a wreath laying ceremonyat the Naval Aviation Monument Park inVirginia Beach, Va.The event, sponsored by the HM-15 Chief Petty

Officer Mess, commemorated the 40th anniver-sary of the first female naval aviators."[Chief Petty Officers] are the ones who

remember when we did things and why we didthings," said Cmdr. Mark Leavitt, commandingofficer of HM-15. "They are the ones that archivethe history of this great Navy. This event in avi-ation is a part of our heritage that we need tohold on to and build on the importance of thatdate."Members of HM-15, also known as the

Blackhawks, were in attendance during the cer-emony. These members included division offi-cers, chief petty officers, first class petty officersof the squadron, and civilian friends and family.All attendees celebrated the accomplishments ofwomen in naval aviation."This organization has realized the benefit and

value of diversity," said Leavitt. "Women in avi-ation make us a more diverse organization."During World War II, a group of women pilots

were pioneers, heroes and role models. Theywere the Women Airforce Service Pilots, other-wise known as WASPs. They were the firstwomen in history to be trained to fly Americanmilitary aircraft in the United States. Thewomen were trained to fly non-combat missionsin order to free up male pilots to fly combat mis-sions overseas.From 1942-1944, 1,079 women successfully

completed training to ferry aircraft, test planes,instruct male pilots and tow targets for anti-artillery practice. These women covered a widespectrum of social and economic back grounds.They were nurses, teachers, secretaries, factoryworkers, waitresses, students, house wives,debutants, actresses, and there was even a cho-rus girl. But despite their different backgrounds,they were patriotic, strong in spirit and had apassion for flying.During the ceremony, the guest speaker, Navy

Lt. Rachel M. Barton, aircraft commander andhelicopter pilot assigned to HM-15, quoted DorisTanner, an original WASP."The myth of flying was 'a glamorous, long

white scarf flying in the wind; the breeze in your

face.' It was just that - a myth. The routine wasback-breaking, hard, dirty work. It strainedevery ounce of endurance and courage we couldmuster. The dust and sand ground into ourclothes, the sun burned our skin to leatherybrown and our hair to dry straw. There weredays when we wondered, why not quit and gohome? Why didn't we? Not a question that iseasy to answer! Love of flying, love of a neverending challenge, and the pride of having a vitalpart in the defense of our nation. The desire torelease the men for combat and thus ending thewar and bring a loved husband or brother home,taking part in defeating the monster Hitler andliberate Europe. None of us knew exactly why,but every one of us loved the excitement andwere determined to make it through and winthose silver wings." The WASP program was deactivated Dec. 20,

1944, having flown about 60 million miles inoperations. Thirty-eight WASPs were killed dur-ing the life of the program, including some intraining.Thirty years later, the Navy became the first

service to graduate a female pilot. Lt. BarbaraAllen Rainey was the first woman to receive thewings of gold Feb. 22, 1974.Today, more than 54,000 women are on active

duty and more than 10,000 females serve in theReserves. In 2012; 873 women earned theirwings of gold and women now comprise 10 per-cent of the naval aviation community.The "Blackhawks" of HM-15 reached a mile-

stone in female aviation, June 22, 2012. Bartonwas a part of the first all-female mine-counter-measure flight that took place in Bahrain. Thisevent was significant, not only because the flightcrew was all-female; but also because the main-tenance crew was all-female, including themaintenance safe-for-flight chief. This was thefirst time there were enough qualified females inthe same location to comprise a "female-only"mine-countermeasure flight."Today, women serving in active duty billets

have become so accepted that most of us don'tstop to think about it as we go about our dailylives," said Barton. "It has become somethingthat is accepted as normal. But on days liketoday, it is nice to take a few moments to stopand think about those who have served before us- the opportunities we now have due to theirlegacy, and the role that we now play in pavingthe way for future generations. In order to trulyappreciate the life we have today, it's importantto know our past and how far we've come."

Answer to last week’s puzzleItalian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy,

other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain aSojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different froma visa, which is merely an approval for entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's

signature is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COM-

ING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service

Office (RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees theacquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navycommands in the Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed atJFC must apply through the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall'sOffice, Building L.Contact Connie Henderson, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-568-
