Thank you to everyone in thecommunity who participated inour two-day 4th of July celebra-tion! Both days were a lot of funand on Saturday we were able toshare our American culture withthe local Italian community andshow our host nation partnershow we celebrate our nation’sbirthday. We had guests showingup right until the very end of thefestivities, and I would like tothank the personnel who workedthe event, all of our volunteers,and anyone else involved in mak-ing this such a huge success. A special thanks goes out to our MWRprofessionals who planned and led the event, and our Security per-sonnel who did such a great job ensuring our safety and who keptthe traffic moving. The celebration was the culmination of signifi-cant teamwork and communication between the installation andour community. If you missed the festivities, the NSA Facebookpage has a video and photos of fireworks at the end of the eveningas well as highlights from throughout the day.

The temperatures have risen lately due to a heat wave passingthrough the area. Remember that the increased heat can cause alot of problems including dehydration, exhaustion, headache, and anumber of other complications. Please pay special attention to theneeds of your pets, and be sure to beat the heat by drinking plentyof water and wearing sunscreen when outdoors for extended peri-ods of time. In Naples it can be difficult to find off-base housingwith central air conditioning. If you are in one of these houses andbuying a portable air conditioning unit is not an option, considervisiting community buildings, or other spaces where air-condition-ing is provided during the hottest parts of the day. There are manyresources online that share tips and tricks for staying cool in thesummer heat. Whatever option you choose please stay safe.

On Tuesday we held a meeting to go over lessons learned from theNon-Combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) exercise. One of thethings that came up was fostering a culture of preparedness in thecommunity. If a catastrophic event happens in Naples or near ourgeographic location, are you and your family prepared? It’s hard tobe ready for every possible scenario, but there are a lot of commonthings you can have ready to go that will serve you well in a varietyof emergencies. Consider putting together a transportable kit thatcould support you for 72 hours. Do you have essential identificationand prescription information? Water and cash? These are just a fewof the essentials we should have available at a moment’s notice.The Navy provides information on this and much more at theReady Navy website (https://www.ready.navy.mil) and specifics onhow to build an emergency kit at(https://www.ready.navy.mil/build_a_kit.html). When an actualevent occurs every second counts. Knowing where necessary itemsare, where everyone is, and a plan on how to move forward canhave a huge impact on your safety and the safety of your family.

Remember to turn out the lights and help conserve our way to vic-tory in the Regional Energy Biggest Loser competition all July!Stay safe, enjoy your summer vacation, and pay a visit to one of ourfree pools!

NAVY HISTORY: MARINE CORPS SGT. GRANT F. TIMMERMAN

By Naval History and Heritage Command

On July 8, 1944, MarineCorps Sgt. Grant FrederickTimmerman was leading aline of infantry againstJapanese forces on Saipan,in the Marianas Islands,when the tank he was com-manding fell under heavyfire. He died when heblocked a grenade with hisbody, which shielded his menfrom the explosion, andsaved his crew. He wasposthumously awarded theMedal of Honor for his ac-tions that day.Born in the tiny town of

Americus, Kansas, on Feb.19, 1919, Timmerman gradu-ated from nearby EmporiaHigh School in 1936. He at-tended Kansas StateTeacher’s College in Emporia

for one year, where he took apre-engineering course. Thenext summer he went to Cal-ifornia and worked as awelder at San Mateo, Califor-nia.He soon yearned for some-

thing more challenging thanwelding. On October 28,1937, Timmerman enlistedin the Marine Corps in SanFrancisco.On May 5, 1938, while in

Shanghai, Timmerman andanother Marine, noticed awoman surrounded by acrowd of menacing Chinese.Timmerman and his buddydispersed the angry crowdand protected the womanuntil the police arrived. Thewoman turned out to be thewife of a U.S. Navy com-mander. For his actions, hereceived a Letter of Com-mendation and Appreciation.

On Oct. 27, 1941, at the endof his four-year enlistment,Timmerman got a job weld-ing electrical fixtures andarmor plates on destroyers atBethlehem Steel in SanFrancisco. Five weeks later,on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japan-ese invaded Pearl Harbor. Timmerman soon reen-

listed. A few months laterTimmerman reported to the2nd Tank Battalion of the2nd Marine Division fortraining. He was promoted tocorporal in July 1942, andthen to sergeant in October1942. The next month Timmer-

man’s battalion was on itsway to Wellington, NewZealand, for advanced train-ing. In November 1943, theyin the Gilbert Islands, andparticipated in the Battle ofTarawa.In December, Timmerman’s

battalion went to Hawaii fora rest and more training. InMay 1944 they left for an-other combat mission inSaipan. On July 8, Timmer-man’s tank was advancing a

few yards ahead of the in-fantry, when their attack washeld up by a series of Japan-ese pillboxes and trenches.As the tank com-

mander, he hadbeen firing thetank’s anti-air-craft gun duringthe attack. With their for-

ward progressstalled, Timmer-man prepared toopen up his line by fir-ing the tank’s 75mm gun. Exposinghimself to theenemy, he stood upin the open turret ofhis tank to warnthe infantry tohit the deckbecause ofthe imminentmuzzle blast.A Japanese grenade

came hurtling through theair aimed in the direction ofhis open turret.Timmerman quickly cov-

ered the opening with hisown body to prevent the

grenade from killing hiscrew. The grenade explodedon his chest, killing him in-stantly. Two of his crew re-

ceived slightwounds from thegrenade, butnone were killed,as all the largershrapnel hadbeen stopped byTimmerman.A year later, on

July 8, 1945, hisparents were presented

with a posthumousMedal of Honor at

their home by Col.Norman E. True ofthe Marine Bar-

racks from GreatLakes, Illinois.

In January1946, theNavy named

one of its new advanced-design vessels, the Gear-

ing-class destroyers inhonor of Timmerman. The

USS Timmerman (DD 828)was christened by hismother, Mrs. Fred Timmer-man.

From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

We are one week into the Region’s Energy Biggest LoserCompetition. A report detailing the progress for NSA Naplesinstallations will be published next week.All of our facilities carry out mission essential operations or

improve the quality of life for DoD employees and their de-pendents however, there are still practices that can be utilizeto reduce energy consumption without interrupting every dayoperations.

Include these practices in your daily routine to reduce energyconsumption:● Ensure all equipment is turned off when not in use● Shut-down computer monitors after each workday● Ensure lights are off when spaces are unoccupied● Ensure office windows and doors are shut (minimize A/C

load)● Unplug unused equipment● Speak up! Respectfully inform others of their wasteful

habits.As an installation we should strive to cut back on consump-

tion. If each individual does there part we are sure to be suc-cessful in reaching our energy reduction goals. Saving energywill also have a positive impact on the Navy financially andthe preservation of our planet’s resources.

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

Except for those living at the Support Site andCapodichino, bottled water is recommended.Treated water is provided free of charge at a dis-

penser located outside the Capodichino eastparking garage.All economy leases negotiated through the

Housing office have a bottle water clause, whichrequires the landlord to provide bottled water. Work with landlords to have any water holding

tanks disinfected twice a year, and ensure yourtap water is disconnected from non-permittedwells and connected only to the city water system.

earthquake? Emergency management has out-lined three scenarios – at home, in the officeand outside – and described what to do to keepyourself and your family safe for each.

At HomeWhen you are at home and feel an earth-

quake, drop to the ground and take coverunder a desk or sturdy table. Drop, cover, andhold on. Hold on tight to the table until theshaking stops and if it moves, move with it.For more details, visitwww.dropcoverholdon.org/If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover

your face and head with your arms and crouchin an inside corner of the room. Use a doorwayfor shelter only if it is in close proximity to youand if you know it is a strongly supported, loadbearing doorway.If you are in bed, stay put. Hold on and pro-

tect your head with a pillow unless you areunder a heavy light fixture that could fall, oryour bed is near a window that could shatter.In that case, move to the nearest safe place.If you’re in the kitchen, move away from the re-

frigerator and stove. They could move and shiftwith the shaking ground. Stay away from over-head cupboards, which could easily open andlose their contents if they are not latched shut.No matter where you are in the house, stay

away from windows, bookcases, file cabinets,heavy mirrors, hanging plants, and otherheavy objects that can fall. Watch out forfalling plaster, bricks or ceiling tiles.Stay inside and under cover until that earth-

quake is over. Research has shown that mostinjuries occur when people inside buildings at-tempt to move to a different location inside thebuilding or try to leave. Remember that after-shocks may occur and some of them can be justas jolting as the initial tremor itself.

In the OfficeFor those who work in an office building, the

same rules as above apply-drop to the floor,take cover under a sturdy table or desk, andhold on tight until the earth stops shaking.If you’re not near a desk or table, move

against an interior wall and protect your headwith your arms. Don’t be surprised if a firealarm or sprinkler systems turn on or the elec-tricity goes out.No matter what, don’t use the elevators and

stay away from windows. The glass can dis-lodge during an earthquake and shatter. Once

the shaking stops, do not rushfor the exit. Instead, leave viathe fire escape in a calm, orderlymanner staying away from windows, heavyfurniture and display shelves with objects thatcould fall.Once you’re outside, quickly get into an open

space away from the building and to your com-mand’s mustering station. The area near theexterior walls of a building is the most danger-ous place to be, as windows, facades and archi-tectural details are often the first parts of thebuilding to collapse.

Away from Home or OfficeWhen you’re away from home – whether driv-

ing, at a store or outside – you have even morehazards to avoid.If you’re driving, pull over to the side of the

road, stop as quickly as safety permits and setyour parking break. Avoid stopping under oron overpasses and bridges, and near or underbuildings. Stay away from power lines, trees,and other potential dangers. Remain insidethe vehicle until the shaking is over. Once theearthquake has stopped, proceed cautiously,avoiding roads, bridges or ramps that mighthave been compromised by the quake.In a grocery store, debris falling from shelves

will pose the greatest danger. If possible, get toan interior wall and crouch down, stayingaway from windows and large fixtures thatcould shift with the quake. If you can’t get to asafe place, lie down on the floor and protectyour head with your arms. When the shakingstops, calmly exit the building, being careful ofbroken glass and other debris on the floor.If you’re outside, move to a clear area away

from buildings, trees, signs, streetlights, util-ity wires and poles. If you’re on a sidewalknear buildings and unable to get to an openspace, duck into a doorway to protect yourselffrom falling debris. Once you’re in a secureplace, stay put until the shaking stops and it’ssafe to venture out. Remember that debris –collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling ob-jects – can continue to rain down well after theshaking stops.

Practice Makes PerfectEarthquakes can strike without warning, but

if you’re prepared and aware on what to dowhen one does hit, you can avoid injury. Al-ways be mindful of what to do when theground starts shaking.For more information contact the Naval Sup-

port Activity Naples emergency managementoffice or visit our website at:http://www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples/Opera-tionsAndManagement/EmergencyManage-ment/index.htm


Tips For Living Longer, Healthier Lives

Twelve percent of men (18 years and over) arein fair or poor health, according to the Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention. While menshould make health a priority and take activedaily steps to become healthier and stronger,there are many easy things that men – andwomen – can do to improve and maintain health.“By proactively getting the right health services,

screenings and treatments, we help our chancesof living a longer, healthier life,” said Capt. JohnLe Favour, Naval Hospital (NH) Jacksonvillecommanding officer. “Things such as age, healthand family history, lifestyle choices, and other fac-tors impact our health care needs and how oftenwe need it. That’s why early detection is key. Sowe encourage you to get regular checkups andtests to find problems before they start.”

Get good sleepInsufficient sleep can be associated with a num-

ber of chronic diseases and conditions such as dia-betes, obesity and depression. Sleep needs changewith age – seven to nine hours is ideal for adults.

Toss the tobaccoAbout 30 percent of U.S. men smoke cigarettes.

It’s never too late to quit, plus it produces imme-diate and long-term benefits – lowers risk ofheart disease, cancer, lung disease and other ill-nesses. And avoid second–hand smoke – it cancause problems similar to those that smoke.

Be activeThirty-eight percent of U.S. men are over-

weight. At least two and a half hours of moder-ate-intensity aerobic activity is recommendedeach week for adults. And indulge in muscle-strengthening activities at least two days aweek. Work all major muscle groups to includelegs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders andarms. Spread activity out during the week, noneed to do all at once.

Eat healthyMen should eat a variety of fruits and vegeta-

bles every day, as they are sources of the manyvitamins and minerals that protect from chronicdiseases. Choose healthy snacks and limit itemshigh in calories, sugar, salt, fat and alcohol.

Manage stressPhysical or emotional tension is often signs of

stress. Sometimes stress can be good, but harm-ful when severe – feeling overwhelmed and outof control.Self-care and social support can be the best wayto manage stress. Avoid drugs and alcohol, stayactive and find support when needed.

Stay on top of your gamePatients should see their primary care manager

(PCM) for regular checkups. Because certain dis-eases may not have symptoms, regular checkupscan help diagnose issues early – before becominga problem. Pay attention to obvious signs andsymptoms such as chest pain and shortness ofbreath.Individuals should also track personal numbers

like blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesteroland body mass index. PCMs can identify whattests are needed and frequency needed. And getvaccinated. Immunizations help maintain health, regard-

less of age. They can protect individuals and thecommunity from serious disease.

Phillip Hinnant“Run the A/C. The kids

sleep with us at night

because only one bedroom

has air-conditioning.”.

Gloria Rayos “I take the family swimming

and drink lots of water.”

Rob McDonough“We swim as a family.”

Eduardo Santos“I had two A/C units

installed, plus we do

lots of water activities.”

Carter Smalling“We hit the pool,

stay inside where there is

air-conditioning,

and we drink lots water

and lemonade.”

Secretary the ability to designate the levelof control for convalescent leave that ex-ceeds 30 days, Secretary Mabus has di-rected that commanding officers grantadditional convalescent leave up to 84days beyondthe currentlyauthorized42 days ofconvalescentleave follow-ing the birthof a child. For fami-

lies, in-creased timefollowing thebirth of herchild hastangible ben-efits for thephysical andpsychologicalhealth ofboth motherand child.For the Navyand MarineCorps, thereis the likeli-hood thatwomen will return to and stay in her ca-reer, yielding higher readiness and reten-tion for the services. “When the women in our Navy and Ma-

rine Corps answer the call to serve, theyare making the difficult choice to be awayfrom their children – sometimes for pro-longed periods of time – so that they can

do the demanding jobs that we ask themto do.” Mabus said. “With increased mater-nity leave, we can demonstrate the com-mitment of the Navy and Marine Corps tothe women who are committed to serve.”The policy, which is effective immedi-

ately, will also apply retroactively to anywoman whohas been au-thorized con-valescentleave follow-ing the birthof a childsince Jan. 1,2015. Underthe new pol-icy, com-mandingofficers arerequired togrant to awoman up toa total of 18weeks, usinga combina-tion of mater-nity leaveand convales-cent leave be-yond 30 days.A motherdoes not need

to take all of her leave at once; however,she is only entitled to the use of this typeof leave within one year of her child’sbirth. The Department of the Navy’s increase in

maternity leave is the latest in a series ofpersonnel initiatives announced by theSecretary of the Navy.

The best defense is prevention. Here aresome prevention tips to help you cope withthe extreme summertime temperatures:● Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless

of your activity level. Don’t wait untilyou’re thirsty to drink. Warning: If yourdoctor generally limits the amount of fluidyou drink or has you on water pills, askhim how much you should drink while theweather is hot.

● Don’t drink liquids that contain alcohol orlarge amounts of sugar–these actuallycause you to lose more body fluid. Also,avoid very cold drinks, because they cancause stomach cramps.

● Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay inan air-conditioned place. If your home doesnot have air conditioning, go to the shop-ping mall or public library – even a fewhours spent in air conditioning can helpyour body stay cooler when you go back intothe heat. Call your local health departmentto see if there are any heat-relief shelters inyour area.

● Electric fans may provide comfort, butwhen the temperature is in the high 90s,fans will not prevent heat-related illness.Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving toan air-conditioned place is a much betterway to cool off.

● Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fit-ting clothing.

● NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parkedvehicle.

● Although anyone at any timecan suffer fromheat-related ill-ness, some people are at greater risk thanothers. Check regularly on: – Infants and young children– People aged 65 or older– People who have a mental illness– Those who are physically ill, especially

with heart disease or high blood pres-sure

● Visit adults at risk at least twice a day andclosely watch them for signs of heat ex-haustion or heat stroke. Infants and youngchildren, of course, need much more fre-quent watching.

If you must be out in the heat:● Limit your outdoor activity to morning and

evening hours.● Cut down on exercise. If you must exercise,

drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalco-holic fluids each hour. A sports beveragecan replace the salt and minerals you losein sweat. Warning: If you are on a low-saltdiet, talk with your doctor before drinking asports beverage. Remember the warning inthe first “tip” (above), too.

● Try to rest often in shady areas.● Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a

wide-brimmed hat (also keeps you cooler)and sunglasses and by putting on sun-screen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effec-tive products say “broad spectrum” or“UVA/UVB protection” on their labels).

MORE BASE NOTES

As the United States and Viet-nam mend and strengthen rela-tions, a congressional ceremonyin Washington, D.C., on July 8,2015, commemorated a time 50years ago when the two nationsparted ways.Defense Secretary Ash Carter

spoke during the event at Emanci-pation Hall, addressing congres-sional leaders and members fromboth sides of the House and Senate aisles.“We honor our 7.2 million living Vietnam-

era veterans, their fallen comrades-in-arms,and the families of all who served,” he said.Some of the surviving veterans bear thewounds of war or the wear of age, he added.While many of those veterans and many

families still carry the memories of brothers,sisters, fathers and others who never camehome, Carter said, their service has helpedto strengthen the nation and its military.“One of the reasons the United States has

excelled is that, as a nation, we learn and in-novate,” he said. “And one reason why wehave the finest fighting force the world hasever known is that our military is a learningorganization.”

Important Lessons LearnedCarter said the lessons the Vietnam War

taught America were “difficult to swallow,”all have resulted in a better country and abetter military.“First, we leave no one behind,” Carter

said. “Thanks in part to Vietnam-era veter-ans, the Department of Defense has over 650people devoted to accounting for the missingand searching for, recovering and identifyingtheir remains, including the more than1,627 still missing from the Vietnam War.”The second lesson is that the nation must

support its warriors, he said, “Regardless ofour feelings about the war. Unfortunately,”that was a lesson some learned the hard wayin the Vietnam era.”The secretary noted that Vietnam veterans

have shown distinctive honor and comrade-ship to their fellow service members fightingmore recent wars.“I am pleased by … the support for today’s

veterans and service members, including thepost-9/11 GI Bill, and how our troops todayare welcomed home,” he said.

State-Level AgreementPresident Barack Obama and

Vietnamese General SecretaryNguyen Phu Trong met yester-day at the White House andadopted a national-level joint vi-sion statement.That document noted “positive

and substantive developments inmany areas of cooperation overthe past 20 years since the estab-lishment of diplomatic relations.”The statement acknowledges

growth in economic and trade ef-forts; addressing war legacy issues; and co-operation in science and technology,education, health care, environment and re-sponse to climate change, defense, security,human rights, “and increasing regional andinternational cooperation on issues of mu-tual concern.”

A War on Many FrontsIn American history, “Vietnam War” and

“Age of Protest” are two enduring phrasesabout an era of stark social unrest: political,generational, racial and philosophical tidesdivided along lines etched by changing atti-tudes toward civil rights, love and marriage,civic duty and economic systems.America’s involvement in the war peaked

from 1965 to 1975. U.S. troops sent to fightin Vietnam in those years often found them-selves on the front lines of not only South-east Asia, but also the ideological struggleback home.More than 2 million American service

members assigned worldwide during thatera were conscripted, or enlisted withoutchoice, under the then-active draft system,which applied to men 18 to 26. The draft of-fered various exemptions for education andother factors, which partially fueled the era’srising tensions between “haves” and “have-nots.”Meanwhile, many American citizens who

opposed the war turned against servicemembers returning from Vietnam -- whowere frequently shunned, openly insulted oreven physically attacked.

Costly ConflictMore than 58,000 U.S. service members

died in the Vietnam War. U.S. troop commit-ments to the conflict increased sharply after1964, peaking at more than a half million in1968.
