SIGONELLA, Sicily – We’ve all expe-rienced a permanent change of stationmove. The way that you plan and exe-cute your move matters. Success, forthe most part depends on a member’sactive participation at origin, and des-tination before pick-up, during themove and destination delivery. Communication with the transporta-tion service provider (TSP), localagents and Personal Property Ship-ping Office (PPSO) counselors is es-sential.May 15 through July 31 presentsunique challenges for the moving in-dustry, service members and theirfamilies, especially moves made dur-ing the peak of the peak (June 16through July 4). During the busiestmoving season, government movingservice providers are stretched to ca-pacity and often times are required toperform services with limited packingcrews, trucks in short supply, and fullstorage facilities. However, each per-son can manage unforeseen changes intheir moving plans by being informed,planning ahead, and remaining flexi-ble.

Before You Move:Moving is stressful enough, butknowing what to expect during themove can calm anxieties. Before youmake your move application plans or

contact the local PPSO, go towww.move.mil, for updated informa-tion, customer information videos andarticles, regarding shipping entitle-ments, claims, privately owned vehi-cles and much more. Counseling is the most critical part ofa successful move. Customers mustensure they have all the informationneeded for a successful move. Havingvalid and updated contact information(telephone numbers, email, etc.) in De-fense Personal Property System (DPS)is the key to a service member’s suc-cessful move.

Customers should book early, remainflexible in arranging their pack out orpick up dates, and try to schedule be-fore or after the peak of the peak sea-son, whenever possible. Initial packout or pick up dates are your “desired”pack or pick up and is not confirmeduntil official orders are turned into thePPSO, and the moving company con-tacts the service member to conductthe pre-move survey, finalize the packand pick up dates and establish therequired delivery date (RDD).

This week, the first full week inMay, marks the beginning ofAsian American/Pacific Ameri-can heritage month. The monthcelebrates the diverse ethnic andcultural backgrounds that con-tribute to our armed services, so-ciety, culture, and nation as awhole. The month of May waschosen specifically to commemo-rate the immigration of the firstJapanese to the United Stateson May 7, 1843, and to mark theanniversary of the completion ofthe transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority ofthe workers who laid these tracks were Chinese immigrants. I would like to take a little space this week to talk about the In-teractive Customer Evaluation (ICE) comment system that isavailable to all of our community members. ICE allows the com-munity to rate service providers, and it gives our leaders crucialinformation regarding the quality of services provided. It is easyto submit an ICE comment; just visit https://ice.disa.mil/ and fol-low the steps to find the specific service on which you wish tocomment. Please leave your contact information, it really helps usfollow-up and provide better resolution to your comment. I readall of the ICE comments directed to NSA Naples, it’s the elec-tronic version of the old wooden “suggestion” box, and it is a greatcommunication tool. ICE comments can be positive or negative,but they are all helpful. It’s even generated its own vocabulary, Ihear a lot about people “ICING” different services, and even myson will ask if I got “ICED” today! Currently, a hot topic on ICE isthe status of air conditioning for Support Site housing. The main-tenance team will start turning on the air conditioning in housingtoday. Don’t be bashful, use ICE and help contribute to a betterservice level for our community. Although the celebration of our Independence Day is over amonth away, it’s not too early to start thinking about Festa Amer-icana. MWR is putting on a two-day event this year featuring theAlfred and Seymour family comedy group, country music singerJeff Allen and our headliner, country music star Jana Cramer.The events will start July 3rd from 4 to 10 p.m. and continue onJuly 4th from 3 to 11 p.m, with the capstone event being atremendous fireworks show. July 3rd participation will be limitedjust to the community normally eligible for Carney Park access,and the 4th will be an open event designed to share our U.S. cul-ture with our Italian friends, neighbors, and hosts. I hope to havea huge turnout from our community to celebrate the birth of ourcountry in style. It’s not too late; MWR is still taking reservationsfor food and craft vendors and volunteers for the event. Contactthe Carney Park staff at 081-526-1579 or [email protected]. Have a fun and relaxing weekend, and please remember to slowdown and drive safe!

When President Harry STruman, British Prime Min-ister Winston S. Churchilland Soviet Premier JosefStalin simultaneously an-nounced that Nazi Germanyhad surrendered on May 8,1945, the joy Americans feltwas tempered by where theywere.The war that began withGermany invading PolandSept. 1, 1939, ended withthe total defeat of the Nazimenace and the uncondi-tional surrender of the Ger-man military. In New York, London andMoscow the eruption of joywas instantaneous. Men andwomen rushed to the streetsto hug and kiss and dance.The war against Nazi Ger-

many was over. The killinghad stopped. A great evilended.

The End of a Long RoadOn the front lines deep inGermany, Austria andCzechoslovakia, the celebra-tion was more muted, withsoldiers gradually realizingthey were not going to beshot at anymore and weregoing to go home. Their joy was further tem-pered because, while Ger-many was defeated, Japanfought on. The soldiers real-ized their divisions, brigadesand units would be part ofthe invasion of Japan. In the Pacific, there was abrief acknowledgement thatthe European battle wasover, but it didn’t really mat-ter to the soldiers and

Marines who were still at-tacking Japanese positionson Okinawa or to the Sailorswho were fending offkamikaze attacks on shipsoff the island. VE Day signified the end ofa long road. Just betweenJune 1944 and May 8, 1945,there were 552,117 U.S. ca-sualties in the Europeantheater of operations. Ofthose, 104,812 were killed inaction. In January 1945, many be-lieved the war in Europewould last much longer. In January, U.S. Army sol-diers were still battlingagainst German forces thathad launched the Battle ofthe Bulge. That battle wasthe largest the U.S. Armyever fought and out of the90,000 casualties around19,000 soldiers were killed. Events accelerated fromthere.

The War Moves intoGermanyBombing missions contin-ued over Germany and every

B-17 or B-24 lost over theReich meant a loss of 10Americans. On the ground,Allied troops mopped upGerman resistance on thewest bank of the RhineRiver. On March 7, 1945, soldiersfrom the 9th Armored Divi-sion secured the LudendorffBridge over the Rhine Riverin Remagen, Germany. TheU.S. 1st Army vaulted thewater barrier and struckdeep into Germany. The 3rdArmy also crossed the riverand moved on. On March 22,U.S. and British forceslaunch a massive operationover the Rhine in Oppen-heim. On April 2, U.S. forces sur-rounded 600,000 Germansin the Ruhr Pocket.Throughout the month,American forces begin dis-covering the consequences ofthe Nazi ideology as they lib-erated death camps likeBuchenwald, Ohrdurf andDachau. On April 12, Americanswere shocked by the death of

President Franklin D. Roo-sevelt. Harry S Truman wassworn in and vowed to con-tinue Roosevelt’s policies. On April 21, Soviet forcesbegan their assault on theGerman capital of Berlin. With the Soviets closing in,Hitler committed suicide onApril 30 and turns powerover to Admiral Karl Donitz.

SurrenderOn May 2, German forcesin Berlin surrendered to theSoviets. On May 7, formal negotia-tions for Germany’s surren-der began at the Supremeheadquarters Allied Expedi-tionary Force headquartersin Rheims, France, and theGermans surrender uncondi-tionally the next day. At the conclusion of the sur-render, the allied staff at-tempted to write a messagefor General of the ArmyDwight D. Eisenhower tosend to allied leaders. Heopted for “The mission of thisAllied Force was fulfilled at0241, May 7th, 1945.”

Navy to Escort U.S.-Flagged Ships in Strait of Hormuz

WASHINGTON, May 1, 2015 – Ships fromU.S. Naval Forces Central Command inBahrain have begun accompanying U.S.-flagged maritime traffic in the Strait of Hor-muz, Defense Department officials said.Sufficient U.S. naval forces are assigned tothe command to meet the requirements of theaccompanying mission, officials said, addingthat Navcent will coordinate with shipping-industry representatives to ensure the opera-tions go smoothly and efficiently. The mission was prompted by two incidentsthis week in the Strait of Hormuz in whichIranian navy patrol vessels harassed com-mercial motor vessels traversing the strait. On April 24, four Iranian patrol boats ap-proached the U.S.-flagged merchant shipMaersk Kensington, Pentagon spokesmanArmy Col. Steve Warren said during an April29 briefing.

First Incident“The boats came astern of the Kensingtonand followed her for 15 or 20 minutes in ac-tions that the Kensington’s master inter-preted as aggressive,” he added. There was no U.S. military involvement atthe time, but after the incident, the ship'smaster filed a report with Navcent, Warrensaid. “It's difficult to know exactly why the Irani-ans are operating this way,” Warren said.“We certainly call on them to respect all theinternationally established rules of freedomof navigation, the law of the sea to which theyare a signatory, and other establishedprotocols.” Then on April 28 at about 2:05 a.m. EST,Iranian patrol vessels approached the M/VMaersk Tigris, a Marshall Islands-flaggedcargo vessel, Warren said in a briefing thatday.

Maersk TigrisThe Republic of the Marshall Islands is asovereign nation for which the United Stateshas full authority and responsibility for secu-rity and defense under the terms of anamended security compact that entered intoforce in 2004. The United States and the Marshall Islandshave full diplomatic relations, according tothe U.S. State Department, and the securitycompact between the two nations includesmatters related to vessels flying the Mar-shallese flag. The Maersk Tigris was in Iranian territorialwaters that also contain internationally rec-ognized commercial shipping lanes, Warrensaid, adding that the Strait of Hormuz is inIranian territorial waters, which is within 12miles of the Iranian coast. But because thenarrow strait is recognized as containing in-ternational shipping lanes, he added, theprinciple of “innocent passage” is applied, soships that abide by international rules of thesea are authorized to pass through the strait.

Innocent PassageWarren said no Americans are among the 30

or so people aboard the Maersk Tigris. The Tigris was transiting inbound, or north,in the Strait of Hormuz, between the PersianGulf and the Gulf of Oman in the ArabianSea. The strait is one of the world’s majorstrategic choke points, according to the U.S.Energy Information Administration. “The ship's master was contacted [by one ofthe Iranian ships] and directed to proceedfurther into Iranian territorial waters,” War-ren said during an April 28 briefing. “He de-clined, and one of the [Iranian] craft firedshots across the bridge of the Maersk Tigris.” Afterward, the master complied with theIranian demand and motored into Iranianwaters near Larak Island, Warren said.Larak Island is off the coast of Iran in thePersian Gulf. The master then issued a dis-tress call.

Boarding the TigrisWarren said initial reports indicated thatmembers of the Iranian navy had boarded theTigris. Navcent, having picked up the distresssignal, directed the USS Farragut, an ArleighBurke-class guided-missile destroyer, to pro-ceed to the nearest location to the MaerskTigris, Warren said. Navcent also directed a Navy maritime pa-trol and reconnaissance aircraft to observethe interaction between the Maersk vesseland the Iranian craft, he added. The Tigris’s destination, according to a ma-rine-traffic website, was Jebel Ali, a port town22 miles southwest of Dubai in the UnitedArab Emirates.

Maritime Security OperationsDuring an April 29 briefing, Warren said theUSS Farragut was operating along withthree U.S. Navy Cyclone-class coastal patrolships -- the USS Typhoon, the USS Thunder-bolt and the USS Firebolt -- all stationed inManama, Bahrain. The ships are conducting maritime securityoperations, maintaining continual U.S. pres-ence and supporting the monitoring of theMaersk Tigris, which is at anchor near LarakIsland and Bandar Abbas, he said. “As is always the case, these assets givecommanders options,” Warren said, addingthat the U.S. government is in discussionswith the Marshall Islands on the way ahead. Warren said the Navy ships’ mission is toconduct maritime security operations, “butwhat they’re doing is keeping an eye onthings.”

Traversing the StraitAll of the ships are operating in the PersianGulf, in the Strait of Hormuz, near where theMaersk Tigris incident occurred, he added.They are close enough to the Maersk Tigris,Warren said, “that they'll be able to respond ifa response is required.” “Two [incidents] within four or five days hascertainly created a situation where maritimecargo vessels presumably would have to con-sider the risks of traversing that strait,” headded. Warren said that Iran's motive is not clearto the Defense Department and that DoD isnot in contact with the Iranian government.

Renewable energy is an energy sourcethat can be found in nature and existinfinitely. One increasingly popular typeof renewable energy is wind energy.The kinetic energy produced by mov-ing air can be harnessed to produceelectricity. When the wind blows it ro-tates the blades on the wind turbine.The rotation of the blades spins theshaft. The shaft is mechanically con-nected to a generator and produces elec-tricity. The electricity is transferred to substations,businesses, and homes through various conductors.In the United States, wind energy is responsible for four-and-a-half percent of all electrical power. This renewablesource is environmentally friendly and “supports more than50,000 industry-related jobs in manufacturing, construc-tion, operations and maintenance, and supporting services.”The use expansion of wind turbines is predicted to increase. Experts predict that soon the parts necessary for wind tur-bines will eventually be manufactured in the United States.This will provide more employment opportunities and lowerthe cost of utilizing wind turbines to produce electricity.

Obama Sends Pay, Retirement Commission Recommendations to Congress

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama sentthe recommendations of the Military Compensa-tion and Retirement Modernization Commissionto Congress on April 30, 2015.In the letter accompanying the report, Obamathanked the commission members and said theirrecommendations “represent an important stepforward in protecting the long-term viability of theall-volunteer force, improving quality of life forservice members and their families and ensuringthe fiscal sustainability of the military compensa-tion and retirement systems.” The president is prepared to support specific pro-posals for 10 of the Commission’s 15 recommenda-tions.Since the commission released its report to the pres-ident in January, DoD officials have been over therecommendations with a fine-toothed comb. The de-partment and the White House want to move slowlyon four of the commission’s 15 recommendations andwill begin executing the remaining 10.

Further Study RequiredThe four that require more study are: the proposal

for a blended retirement system, reserve componentduty statuses, exceptional family member supportand commissary and exchange consolidation. The 10 recommendations the president is preparedto support either in toto or with modifications are:the Survivor Benefit Plan, financial education, med-ical personnel readiness, DoD and Department ofVeterans Affairs collaboration, child care, servicemember education, transition assistance, dependentspace-available travel and the report on military-connected dependents. Defense Secretary Ash Carter will submit propos-als for legislation to Congress on some of the recom-mendations. For his part, Carter also praised thecommission for its 18-month independent review.The commission looked at retirement and compen-sation programs administered both inside and out-side DoD. “Their work confirmed many positive changes thatwe’re making to uphold our commitments to our peo-ple, and also pointed out areas where we can do bet-ter,” Carter said in a Pentagon release. The commission’s last recommendation on the mili-tary TRICARE health benefit program needs morework, the secretary said. “While we agree with the commission that reformsto the military health care system are needed, we

also believe that the TRICARE proposals in Presi-dent Obama's fiscal 2016 budget serve as a good firststep by offering service members, military familiesand retirees greater choice and control over theirhealth care decisions,” Carter said in the release.

An Ongoing ProcessThe department will work with the commission, in-teragency partners and Congress this year to developadditional reform proposals for the fiscal year 2017budget proposal. Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for ForceManagement and Policy Alphonso Maldon Jr. chairsthe commission. Other members are former U.S. Sen.Larry L. Pressler from South Dakota, former U.S.Rep. Stephen E. Buyer from Indiana, former DoDComptroller Dov S. Zakheim, former Capitol Hillstaffer Michael R. Higgins, retired Army Gen. PeterW. Chiarelli, retired Navy Adm. Edmund P. Gi-ambastiani Jr., former U.S. Sen. J. Robert [Bob] Ker-rey from Nebraska, and former U.S. Rep.Christopher Carney from Pennsylvania. The commission was chartered as part of the fiscal2013 National Defense Authorization Act. The com-mission held public hearings at military posts acrossthe country and solicited advice from veterans serv-ice organizations, think tanks and the general public.

The PPSO will inform themember of the desired deliverydate (DDD) on the shipment ap-plication, during counseling. Re-member, the DDD is only anestimate and the “actual” RDDis printed on the governmentbill of lading for the shipment.The moving company will pro-vide the member with a copy ofthe bill of lading, either elec-tronically or hardcopy, no laterthan the pickup date. If serving an accompaniedtour, encourage your spouse toparticipate in the (self) counsel-ing and pre-move surveyprocess. After all, in most in-stances the spouse at home willbe the one coordinating whenthe moving company shows up.Together, a sponsor and spouseare more likely to communicateall their moving needs. If aspouse or sponsor is unavailableto supervise the move, then theone available will be prepared tosupervise the move in the eventof an absence of either one. Members and their spousesshould know about all movingdocuments they must receive,review, sign, and why these doc-uments are important for a suc-cessful move. Both spouse andsponsor should know what ac-tions to take in case of difficultyduring a move and know theirpersonal responsibilities in re-leasing and accepting ship-ments to the moving company.Moving weight allowances aredetermined by the member’sgrade in accordance with appli-cable Joint Travel Regulation(JTR). Ultimately, members areresponsible for keeping personalproperty items within theirweight allowances. To avoid pos-sible excess costs, take the timeearly in advance of the movedate to estimate your shipmentweight. You will then have suffi-cient time to dispose of personalthings you no longer use to re-duce your potential excess costs.Should you decide to keep allyour household goods and possi-bly ship above your weight al-lowance, you need to budget topay the excess cost, which canbe quite substantive in mostcases. To estimate the weight ofhousehold goods, start with thenet weights of all shipments ofyour last move. Normally yourshipment documents from yourprevious move will indicate thetotal weight shipped to yourcurrent duty station. Be sure toinclude all shipments at govern-

ment expense still in storage, ifapplicable, as well as weightsfor any personally procuredmoves. Add weights for allhousehold items you acquiredsince you last moved, such asfurniture, hobby equipment,tools, books, collectables andelectronics. Many service members are fa-miliar with the “1,000-pounds-per-room” estimate.Unfortunately, families oftenforget to include rooms such asstorage sheds, large closets,yards, garages, carports, base-ments, and other hidden areas.This is why it’s best to startyour move estimates with allweights from your last move,and then adjust for what you re-cently acquired. Remember, an estimate is sim-ply that, a “best guess” esti-mate, of what you intend onshipping. It’s not an officialweight, until the movers providean official shipment weight tothe PPSO and a government billof lading is created. If weightsare close to maximum afterpacking, request an officialreweigh through your DPS ac-count or the servicing PPSO.Another way to control yourshipment weight is to estimateweight for the member’sand spouse’s professionalbooks, papers and equipment(PBP&E) or professional gear(PRO-gear), if any. Servicemembers and employees PRO-gear allowance is limited to2,000 pounds (no waivers) maxi-mum. An employee’s PRO-gearis part of weight allowances forshipment purposes. Civilianspouses are not entitled aspousal pro-gear (S-PRO) ship-ment entitlement in accordancewith the JTR. PRO-Gear are ar-ticles of household goods in amember’s possession needed forthe performance of official du-ties at the next or later destina-tion. Some examples of PBP&E are:reference materials; equipmentpeculiar to technicians; mechan-ics; specialized clothing such asdiving suits, astronaut’ suits,flying suits and helmets, banduniforms, chaplains’ vestments,and other specialized apparelnot normal or usual uniform orclothing in the member’s posses-sion needed for the performanceof official duties. The weight of military profes-sional gear (M-PRO) is notcounted against member’sweight allowance but to be vali-dated, sponsor must: a) DeclarePRO-gear during counseling; b)

Separate PRO-gear duringpacking by the movers, and c)Ensure movers weigh PRO-gearseparately and clearly markboxes as PRO-gear on the ship-ment inventory, before signingshipping documents. S-PRO is limited to a maxi-mum of 500 pounds. S-PROgear are those items for thespouse’s professional employ-ment, such as ombudsman,lawyer, doctor, nurse, teacher,chef or community support ac-tivities at the next destination.S-PRO does not include com-mercial products for sale/resaleused in conducting business;sports equipment or offices;household or shop furniture andfixtures such as desks, cabinets,and racks etc.

Privately Owned Vehicle(POV):By now, service members haveheard through social media sto-ries about POV delays. How-ever, current trends indicate,contractor performance is betteroverall since inception. Be sureto get the proper counseling onPOV shipment before going tothe Vehicle Processing Center.Some destinations have restric-tions on POVs or certain POVfeatures. Consult your “It’s YourMove” shipping responsibilitiesbrochure for more informationor visit the POV shipping con-tractor, International Auto Lo-gistics (IAL) website atwww.pcsmypov.com. If your POV is not delivered onthe required delivery date, talkto a personal property shippingoffice counselor or visit IAL’swebsite for POV tracking,claims information and claimsprocessing on missed requireddelivery date of POV shipments.

Creating Your MoveApplication:Contact your local personalproperty staff or “self-counsel”within DPS. If you plan to movesoon and have your official per-manent change of station or-ders, don’t wait, get started now.DPS online is available 24/7 foryou to initiate your moving ap-plication. Just go to the DPSwebsite athttp://www.move.mil/index.cfm .A user identification and pass-word is required for self-coun-seling access. DPS has been extremely inno-vative in that it allows memberto manage their move from ori-gin pickup to destination deliv-ery. Additional features of DPSare online claims functionality,frequently asked questions, andthe customer satisfaction sur-veys (CSS).Of course traditional appoint-ments can still be coordinatedwith your local Personal Prop-erty Shipping Office. Make yourmove, a stress free move thissummer. Additional resources can befound at the official Navy’sHousehold Goods & PersonalProperty website at http://nav-sup.navy.mil/household .

Obama also thanked theirfamilies for decades of sup-port. “From ending our combatmission in Afghanistan toleading the internationalcoalition to destroy [the Is-lamic State in Iraq and theLevant], conducting human-itarian operations from ty-phoon relief in thePhilippines to fightingEbola in West Africa, andstrengthening our securityalliances from Europe toAsia,” Obama said, “atevery step, you have beencritical to our processes, andI have valued not only yourcounsel but your friend-ships.” Introducing his choice tobe the next chairman of the

Joint Chiefs, Obama calledMarine Corps Gen. JosephF. Dunford Jr. one of themilitary’s most admired of-ficers.

“Fightin’” Joe DunfordDunford has served ascommandant of the MarineCorps since Oct. 17, 2014. Dunford is a Boston na-tive, the son of a retiredBoston police officer andMarine veteran of Korea,the president said, adding,“Joe followed in his father'sfootsteps and has distin-guished himself throughnearly 40 years of militaryservice.” Dunford has commandedMarines in the field fromthe platoon level to a Ma-rine expeditionary force.During the invasion of Iraq,

he led Marines in thecharge to Baghdad, Obamasaid. According to a post onMarinesBlog, the officialMarine Corps blog, it was inIraq that he earned thenickname “Fightin’ Joe,”while serving in 2003 underMarine Corps Gen. JamesMattis and leading Regi-mental Combat Team 5 dur-ing the initial invasion.

‘Unvarnished MilitaryAdvice’“I have been extraordinar-ily impressed by Joe, fromthe situation room where hehelped to shape our endur-ing commitment toAfghanistan, to my visit lastyear to Bagram, where Isaw his leadership first-hand,” the president said.

“I know Joe. I trust him.He's already proven hisability to give me his unvar-nished military advicebased on his experience onthe ground,” Obama said. Under Dunford’s steadyhand, the president added,Afghanistan achieved keymilestones, including thetaking the lead for theirown security, historic elec-tions, and the drawdown ofU.S. forces, all of which setthe stage for the end of theU.S. combat mission there. Obama thanked Dunfordand his wife Ella for theircontinued service to the na-tion before introducing hischoice to be vice chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff,Air Force Gen. Paul Selva.

Pilot and CommanderSelva is a pilot and a com-mander with 35 years ofmilitary service. “As leader of Air MobilityCommand, he earned a rep-utation as a force forchange and innovation,”Obama said. “I understandthat when it was time to de-liver the final C-17 to theAir Force, Paul went to thecockpit and helped fly ithimself.” As head of TransportationCommand, the presidentsaid Selva has been com-mitted to partnerships thatare a core principle of thenational security strategy,“whether it's supplying ourjoint force around the worldin operations large andsmall, to supporting andkeeping safe our diplomatsand embassy personneloverseas.” And because Selva servedas Secretary of StateHillary Clinton's militaryadviser for the first years ofObama’s presidency, hegrasps the strategic envi-ronment in which U.S.forces operate, the presi-dent added.

Next Chapter of Service“He understands that ourmilitary, as powerful as itis, is one tool that must beused in concert with all theelements of our nationalpower,” Obama said, thank-ing Selva and his wifeRicki, who also served inthe Air Force, for taking on

this next chapter of theirservice together. Defense Secretary AshCarter said in a statementreleased today that Dun-ford has been an infantryofficer at every level, andthat Selva has been an in-novator throughout his ca-reer. “They're exemplary lead-ers,” Carter added, “andthey both have the strategicperspective and operationalexperience to help guideour military and advise thepresident at a time of muchchange in the world.”

Global SecurityChallengesAlso in a statement issuedtoday, Chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff Gen.Martin E. Dempsey saidhe’s known Dunford fornearly half his 39 years ofservice. “He is a phenomenal, com-bat-tested leader and a manof integrity, courage andhumility,” Dempsey said. “General Selva is also aleader of competence andcharacter,” the chairmanadded. “He has a tremen-dous understanding of theglobal security challengeswe face and experience atevery echelon of command,most recently leading ourglobal transportation net-work.” As Obama concluded hisremarks, he told Dunfordand Selva that the nationcontinues to call on itsarmed forces to meet arange of challenges. “We have to keep trainingAfghan forces and remainrelentless against al Qaida.We have to push backagainst ISIL andstrengthen forces in Syriaand build moderate opposi-tion in Syria,” he said. The nation also muststand united with its alliesin Europe and keep rebal-ancing its posture as a Pa-cific power, and continue toinvest in new capabilities tomeet growing threats, in-cluding cyberattacks,Obama added. “As commander-in-chief,I'll be looking to you foryour honest military adviceas we meet these chal-lenges,” he said.

THINGS THAT FLY

From NASA

Airplanes need four forces to fly. Lift isone of them. How do airplanes stay in theair?Four forces keep an air-plane in the sky. Theyare lift, weight, thrustand drag.Lift pushes the airplaneup. The way air movesaround the wings givesthe airplane lift. Theshape of the wings helpswith lift, too.Weight is the force thatpulls the airplane towardEarth. Airplanes are built so that theirweight is spread from front to back. This

keeps the airplane balanced. Thrust is the force that moves the air-plane forward. Engines give thrust to air-planes. Sometimes an engine turns apropeller. Sometimes it is a jet engine. It

doesn’t matter as long asair keeps going over thewings.Drag slows the airplane.You can feel drag whenyou walk against astrong wind. Airplanesare designed to let airpass around them withless drag.An airplane flies whenall four forces work to-

gether. But, most airplanes need one morething: They need a pilot to fly them!
