Over the last few months,Housing began an effort toevaluate landlord and resi-dent adherence to residentialwater storage tank cleaningrequirements. These residen-tial water storage tanks areoften used to mitigate day-time water pressure fluctua-tions that occur throughoutNaples, which often results inperiodic water outages. Thetank ensures residents stillhave water available whenthe public water pressure drops. Housing has recently putrenewed emphasis on water tanks, to ensure they are beingcleaned properly by landlords, per lease agreements. Of thefirst round of water tanks inspected by the Housing office, onlyabout a third of the tanks were pristine and required no clean-ing or treatment. Residents must ensure they work with theirlandlords to schedule cleanings, which are required by the leaseevery six months. Dialogue with your landlord; if you needassisting information, the Housing office can provide cleaninginstructions in Italian and English, which make the require-ments clear. The onus in this situation continues to be on indi-vidual residents, however, the Housing office is available toassist anyone who encounters difficulty with their landlord inscheduling regular cleanings. Please be proactive and hold yourlandlord’s accountable if your home has a water storage tank. Another area that continues to be of concern, particularly in

the last year with the loss of several of our shipmates, is mak-ing sure that your page 2 and SGLI are in complete order. Theannual verification process is currently ongoing, and you maybe asked to verify and sign your page 2 in the coming days orweeks. Please, don’t treat this as a routine check in the box.Ensure your forms are up to date and that you understand theramifications of your choices. Make sure your family is takencare of especially if they are entirely dependent on your income.Always elect the maximum SGLI benefit and consider adjust-ing SGLI back up to the maximum amount if you had previ-ously lowered it. Immediate death benefits come in the form ofthe death gratuity payment and SGLI can take weeks to arrive.Make sure your death gratuity goes to your immediate familyto ensure they are taken care of in the event of a tragedy. Thedays and weeks that follow a service member’s passing arebeyond difficult for those left behind; make sure your choicesput them in the best possible position during those dark days.The realization that no tomorrow is guaranteed should make

us all think a little more deeply, hug our spouses and kids a lit-tle tighter, and enjoy the world around us. Take nothing forgranted and get out this weekend and enjoy life to the fullest.

Continued from Page 1ACTIVE-SHOOTER TRAINING“Anywhere from the shooting at Norfolk a cou-ple weeks ago, to Fort Hood last week, to CampLejeune and also the stabbing in Pennsylvania,we need to be trained just as well as the civil-ian law enforcement to be able to do our job. Itis definitely a problem that keeps on happen-ing, so we have to be prepared for it.”Senior Chief Master-at-Arms DaleNaaktgeboren, course instructor, said navalbases used to wait for SWAT or special teams torespond to a shooter situation. The NCISactive-shooter course reduces this wait bytraining an immediate response team to neu-tralize the threat.The scenarios split the MAs up into small con-tact and recovery teams for each incident.“The main goal is to give our forces the skillsets they need to succeed and have confidencein their abilities to handle a situation,” saidMaster-at-Arms 1st Class Howard S. Dixon,NCIS course lead instructor. Dixon said they focused on procedures thatwill enable the security forces to easily inte-grate with other agencies or personnel whomight respond to an active shooter situation.

The four man teams moved into the facilityand searched for hostile combatants aroundcorners, on stairwells and within rooms. Thethreat of an aggressor armed with an airsoftweapon was guaranteed and combat was immi-nent. The contact teams neutralized thethreats, freed hostages and gathered evidence.“You learn how to react under adrenalinepumping situations with sweat, pressure andfear; get a bottle on those emotions and do whatyou have to do,” said Master-at-Arms SeamanLuke Surface, training participant.While the contact team fought within, therecovery team waited outside on standby. Theystood by to provide logistical and medical sup-port and to provide backup to the contact team.To simulate the stress of a real world scenariothey performed light exercise while waiting.Dixon said Active Shooter is a five-day courseused to supplement weekly MA training. Thelast day of the course is a culmination of every-thing taught and the participants are put into alive scenario. Active Shooter is taught withinEurope and Africa and NCIS STAAT plans tohold another course on base in May.

Members of the recovery team Master-at-Arms Seaman Luke Surface, Master-at-Arms 2nd ClassDeverell Brown, Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Tyler Allshouse and Master-at-Arms Seaman Nate Nollanreceive word and advance into a facility to back-up the contact team during the active-shooter train-ing scenario conducted at Naval Support Activity Naples, April 11.

Every time we take a step to reduce our energyimpact - from turning off lights and equipmentwhen not needed, to driving less or purchasingenergy-efficient products - we help protect ourprecious Earth. Set aside some time on Earth Day,April 22, to stop and take note of what you canand should do every day of the year to live andlead an energy-efficient lifestyle.Anyone who does shopping of any kind should be aware of energy

star light bulbs and appliances and their cost-effectiveness. On theenvironmental side, they prevent the creation of greenhouse gasesequivalent to the annual emissions of millions of cars. They alsoreduce our energy dependency on other countries and on fossil fuels.

PastieraPastiera is an Easter tradi-tion in the Campania region.It is essentially a pie filledwith a soft mixture of cookedgrain, ricotta cheese and can-died citrus. If you go to buyone, you’ll receive not onlythe pastry, but also the roundpan it is baked in, as it isdeemed to delicate to beremoved. Look for the decora-tive crisscross pattern on topto identify it.

ColombaThis sweet yeast cake is so-namedbecause it is baked in the shape ofa dove, or colomba in Italian. It issimilar to the panettone and pan-doro served around Christmas inItaly, but is distinguished by itsdistinctive dove shape and its coat-ing, which usually consists of can-died sugar and almonds. Colombausually contains candied fruit, butomits the raisins that are typicallyfound in panettone.

Every season and holiday inItaly brings with it differentculinary traditions, andEaster is no different.

Called Pasqua in Italian,Easter is a time when manyItalians feast on lamb, andNaples families make disheslike minestra maritata, asoup of vegetables and pork. In the days leading up to

Sunday, you’re also bound tosee special seasonal treatslining the shelves of yourlocal coffee bar or pasticceria.Here are a few you canindulge in if you want to cel-ebrate Easter like an Italian.

Le Uova Di Pasqua (Easter eggs)Colorfully wrapped chocolate eggs as bigas a person’s head are common sights inItalian storefronts these days. The eggsare generally made of milk or dark choco-late and hollow on the inside. Each eggcontains a surprise that can be accessedby breaking the egg open.

My emergency preparedness Kit

For weeks, months and probablyyears you have been hearing thoseof us in the emergency manage-ment and preparedness businesstell you over and over again thatyou need to have an emergencyplan and kit built and ready at alltimes. While that sounds great, doyou know what you should have inyour kit to sustain you and yourfamily following an emergency and for how long? This is a rec-ommended starting point for you to get prepared and stayready. In addition to the Emergency Management staff of Naval

Support Activity Naples, there are great on-line sources of infor-mation to get you started in building your kit. These serve as agreat foundation, but must be tailored to meet your individualand family’s requirements: – Ready Navy: www.ready.navy.mil/BuildAKit/

EmergencyKits/index.htm – FEMA’s Ready.gov: www.ready.gov/build-a-kit – The American Red Cross: http://upson. redcross.org/

Media/checklist.pdf – Italy’s Department of Civil Protection: www.pro-

tezionecivile.gov.it/jcms/en/homepage.wp All of the sources suggest building a kit that should sustain

you and your family for at least three days. Because of theunique features and potential hazards in this region of Italy, itis recommended you plan for one to two full weeks of consum-ables (food, water, batteries, etc.), in addition to the other itemsin the kit. This will help with you and your family’s immediateneeds being met with minimal reliance on others. The severityof an emergency event may be significant, and resources may beextremely limited and not immediately available. At a mini-mum, your emergency kit should have the supplies listed below.Plan for and monitor expiration dates of all kit contents. ‘

❏Water (one (1) gallon per person, per day stored in easy tocarry containers) (Recommend rotating/replacing every 6months)

❏ Food (Non-perishable, easy to prepare items) ❏Baby/Infant Supplies ❏ Diapers ❏ Wipes❏ Bottles❏ Food❏ Formula❏ Pacifiers ❏ Clothing ❏ Blanket(s)

❏ Flashlight❏Radio (Battery or hand-crank powered) (Make sure the

radio can receive AFN broadcasts)❏ Extra Batteries (flashlights, radio, other battery powered

kit items)❏ First Aid Kit (The American Red Cross suggests the follow-

ing for a family of four (4)❏ 2 absorbent compress dressings (5 x 9 inches) ❏ 25 adhesive bandages (assorted sizes)❏ 1 adhesive cloth tape (10 yards x 1 inch) ❏ 5 antibiotic ointment packets (approximately 1 gram) ❏ 5 antiseptic wipe packets ❏ 2 packets of aspirin (81 mg each)❏ 1 blanket (space blanket) ❏ 1 breathing barrier (with one-way valve) ❏ 1 instant cold compress ❏ 2 pair of non-latex gloves (size: large) ❏ 2 hydrocortisone ointment packets (approximately 1 grameach)

❏ Scissors❏ 1 roller bandage (3 inches wide) ❏ 1 roller bandage (4 inches wide) ❏ 5 sterile gauze pads (3 x 3 inches) ❏ 5 sterile gauze pads (4 x 4 inches) ❏ Oral thermometer (non-mercury/non-glass)❏ 2 triangular bandages❏ Tweezers ❏ First aid instruction booklet

❏Medications (7 day supply) ❏Medical Supplies (Glasses, Contact Lenses, syringes, spe-

cialty batteries, etc.)❏Multi-Purpose Tool (or small hand tools) ❏ Sanitation & Personal Hygiene Items❏Copies/Originals of Personal Documents

❏ Medication List ❏ Important Medical Information ❏ Passports ❏ Birth Certificates ❏ Immunization Record ❏ Sojourner’s Permit

❏ Housing Documents (Inventory, Housing Contract, etc.)❏ Automobile Papers (Bill of Sale(s), Registration, etc.) ❏ Insurance Policies ❏ Powers of Attorneys

❏Cell Phone(s) with Chargers❏ Family & Emergency Contact Information❏ Emergency Blanket(s) or Sleeping Bag(s)❏Map of the Area ❏Manual Can Opener ❏ Pet Supplies

❏ Food ❏ Water ❏ Documents ❏ Crate (Transport) ❏ Tags & Collar ❏ Leash

Another key point to consider is the portability of your kit.This may be the most challenging factor in planning for andassembling your kit. If we were to remain in our homes duringand after an emergency event, we need to make sure our kitsare accessible. In this case, the kit can be stored and main-tained in large containers on a cabinet. However, depending upon the type and severity of the emer-

gency event, we may be required to evacuate our homes, or eventhe area. In this situation our emergency kit must be scaleddown to the supplies necessary to sustain us for approximatelythree days. We must also plan for a method of packing and car-rying our emergency kit. One suggestion is to place the contentsof your kit into a portable container(s) and store them. Anotheris to have the portable containers immediately available to packthe supplies you have stored in larger containers or cabinet. Thetype of portable containers you use can be backpacks, small tomedium luggage with wheels, tear-resistant bags, etc. The key to portability is just that – don’t pack your emergency

evacuation kit in a container you cannot lift or carry. Also, takefull advantage of sharing the load among capable family mem-bers as much as reasonably possible. We all remember theadventure we had during our family’s move to Naples. If youradventure was anything like our family’s, it was a bit of a chal-lenge – Four large suitcases, two smaller suitcases, our pet in amedium size carrier, an 18 month old, an infant car seat and mywife on crunches. The point is, don’t pack more than you andyour family can carry. The most effective way to minimize the additional stress of an

emergency event in our lives is to prepare ourselves and ourfamilies as much as possible through discussions and develop-ment of our family’s emergency plan and the assembly of ouremergency kit. These discussions and our preparations willcause a bit of natural anxiety in all of us, but more so among thechildren. We should consider the tone and content of our dis-cussions with, and around them. The following on-lineresources are for parents to use in getting their childreninvolved in the planning and preparations through their under-standing of the facts. – Ready Navy Kids: www.ready.navy.mil/ Kids/index.htm – FEMA’s Fun & Games for Kids: www.ready.gov/kids – National Fire Protection Association:

www.sparky.org/index.html – National Weather Service: www.nws. noaa.gov/om/rea-

chout/kidspage.shtml Napoli, the Campania Region and Italy offer many opportuni-

ties to each of us that others can only dream of. While we makethe most of the experience, we need to understand and acceptthe potential for emergency situations such as earthquakeshere. Over the past couple of years we have participated in var-ious earthquake drills, and we will continue to do so in thefuture. These events offer us an opportunity to educate our-selves and one another about the likelihood of an earthquakehere, and the importance of preparing ourselves to get throughthem. Consider the “what if ’s” associated with an earthquake and

what you need to do to prepare your emergency plan and buildyour kit. For additional information, please contact your com-mand’s emergency management staff.

Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt Jr.,the Navy's youngest Chief ofNaval Operations and one ofthe most influential Sailorsof the 20th Century, radicallychanged the face of the Navyas both a surface warrior anda social reformer. Zumwalt was born Nov. 29,1920 in California and spenthis childhood in the smallcommunity of Tulare. Heoriginally planned to becomea doctor, following in thefootsteps of his mother andfather, but in 1939 he wasaccepted into the UnitedStates Naval Academy.In 1942, World War II sweptacross the Pacific. Bud wasgranted an early graduationand was assigned his firstship, USS Phelps (DD 360).Aboard his second ship, USSRobinson (DD 562), Zumwaltearned a Bronze Star withValor for his actions duringthe Battle of Leyte Gulf.At the end of the war,Zumwalt was named prizecaptain of the ImperialJapanese gunboat Ataka andsailed into Japanese -occu-pied Shanghai, China toassist with the removal ofthe Japanese military. There,he was asked to a dinner at aRussian household where hemet his would-be bride,Mouza Coutelais-du-Roche.Having only known her forabout two weeks, Bud mar-ried Mouza Oct. 22, 1945.After the war, Zumwaltserved at a variety of com-mands, honing his expertisein surface warfare and even-tually went to work forUndersecretary of Defensefor Foreign Affairs, PaulNitze. Under Nitze, Zumwaltgained a broad understand-ing of naval strategy that hewould eventually take withhim to flag commands. As avice admiral, he was promot-ed to commander of NavalForces Vietnam.Prior to Zumwalt's arrival,the riverine forces had notbeen fully effective in com-batting the Viet Cong.Zumwalt combined all of thecompartmentalized forcesinto Task Force 194 or"Operation Sealords." Healso ordered the use of thechemical defoliant "AgentOrange," which dropped theAmerican casualty rate, butyears later would have

adverse effects on the peopleexposed to it.In the summer of 1970,Zumwalt was nominated byPresident Richard Nixon tobecome Chief of NavalOperations. He began histerm by implementing"Project Sixty," a plan todrastically reduce excessship capacity in the fleetwithin 60 days. Through theproject, Zumwalt came upwith what he called a "High-Low mix", keeping a highernumber of smaller multi-platform ships in the fleetwhile reducing the numbersof large single-platform ves-sels. Next, Zumwalt began issu-ing Z-Grams, personal mes-sages and directives from theCNO sent directly to deck-plate Sailors. Z-Grams ush-ered in many monumentalchanges in the fleet, such asbenefits for minorities andwomen, relaxed groomingstandards, and better quali-

ty of life for the averageSailor. Z-66 promoted equalopportunity in the Navy,pushing the Navy forward ina racially divided military."We were not trying to cre-ate a Navy in which anygroup, any segment was any-thing other than an integralpart," said retired Cmdr. BillNorman, Executive Directorto Adm. Zumwalt's AdvisoryCommittee on RaceRelations and MinorityAffairs. "He was trying to getacross a message thatregardless of how good ourhardware and our systemsare, we need people."Following his term as CNO,Zumwalt retired from theNavy. His son, Lt. Elmo

Zumwalt III, who had servedunder his father during theVietnam War, was diagnosedwith cancer and died.Zumwalt believed it to berelated to the use of AgentOrange during the war."In wartime, a commandermakes the least worst deci-sion he can make and clearlybased on what he was told bythe chemical companies, thatwas the right decision," saidretired Marine Lt. Col. JamesZumwalt, Adm. Zumwalt'sson. "The downside was wedidn't learn until well afterthe war was over that thechemical companies had liedand unfortunately, the bitterirony for our family is thatone of those who fell victim to

that was my brother."Through his retirementyears, Zumwalt worked toget benefits for veteransaffected by the defoliant andhelped found the NationalBone Marrow Registry. Forhis work, Bud was awardedthe Presidential Medal ofFreedom by President BillClinton in 1998.Elmo Zumwalt passed awayJan. 2, 2000. His legacy liveson in the ship that bears hisname, USS Zumwalt (DDG1000). Mirroring the actionsof her forbearer, the shipaims to change the Navy,both tactically and socially inregard to Sailors' quality oflife. The Navy christenedZumwalt, April 12, 2014.

Let's face it. The most any of uscan hope to accomplish in theNavy is to master our craft, leavea command better than we foundit and to train our reliefs. However, in order to have reliefs

to train, someone has to initiallyfind qualified young men andwomen and convince them to jointhe Navy.That job falls squarely on Navy

Recruiting Command, whichoperates 1,450 recruiting stationsaround the country and also inJapan, Europe and Guam. With5,000 Navy recruiters workingacross America's cities and smalltowns, the command is taskedwith bringing more than 33,000people into the Navy for fiscalyear 2014 alone.With most recruiters being fleet

Sailors on a three-year tour ofduty, it is imperative they receivethe absolute best training possi-ble. New recruiters attend a five-week course at Naval Air StationPensacola, Fla., to learn how tofind qualified future Sailors.NORU, or Navy RecruitingOrientation Unit, trains approxi-mately 1,500 Sailors each year toserve in the field."My number one mission is to

take Sailors and reenergize them,motivate them to love what theydo - to love the Navy," said SeniorChief Navy Counselor TimCorelli, a senior instructor atNORU.In five short weeks, these fleet

Sailors learn everything from howto analyze a recruiting market tosales techniques. In fact, theylearn a specific sales philosophycalled VALOR, which stands forvalue-oriented recruiting. Essen -tially, it shows Sailors how to iden-tify prospects' pressures, plansand problems and teaches themhow the Navy can help solve those,ultimately leading to that prospectraising their right hand to join."We teach them to take someone

who is apathetic, and by the timethey're done with them they areready to join the Navy," saidCorelli.However, it's more than just

sales. The staff at NORU alsoemphasize standards, both Navypersonal standards and ethics, aswell as recruiting standards. Onthe first day of class, all new stu-dents are given a height-weightmeasurement to ensure they arewithin body fat standards. Thosethat aren't are immediatelyenrolled in the command's fitnessenhancement program."We are the face of the Navy out

there as recruiters," said ChiefNavy Counselor Kevin Roux, aninstructor at NORU and the com-mand fitness leader. "If arecruiter is out of standards,that's not the image that we wantto have. We really need to makesure that we're on top of our gamehere."The staff uses the Navy

morning and the fitness enhance-ment program sessions are heldtwo additional days per week inthe afternoon."I'm a believer in the NOFFS

program. I wasn't at first, but Iknow what it's done for me," saidRoux. "You get out of it what youput into it. I find myself to be abetter runner now."For some fleet Sailors, the tran-

sition to recruiting can be a bit ofa shock to their system. Takingsomeone who is a technical expertin their rating and teaching theman entirely new set of skills pres-ents its own unique challenge."This is a whole new experi-

ence," said Chief Boatswain’sMate Christopher Haywood, anew recruiter. "Being aboatswain's mate, I'm used to thefleet mentality. [Here] you learnnew things about how to relate topeople."The instructors said they usual-

ly see some myths about recruit-ing cleared up within the firstweek of the course."Most of the time we're getting

the top Sailors from the fleet,"said Senior Chief Navy CounselorBrian Banrey, a NORU instruc-tor. "They come to recruiting to besuccessful, but when they gethere they figure out that it'ssomething different. They mightbe the best ET or best MM, butwhen they come here they'venever done [something like this]before. They're learning a differ-ent trade, which sometimes canbe a challenge."The course culminates in a cap-

stone exercise during the finalweek. Instructors role play aspotential Sailors and the studentswork in a mock recruiting station.Students are evaluated on howwell they deal with a variety ofsituations, everything from anangry parent who doesn't wanttheir child to join the Navy, to aprospect who changes his mind atthe last minute and decides not tojoin."We deliberately make it chaot-

ic," said Senior Chief NavyCounselor Elissa Cook, a NORUinstructor.One myth instructors were quick

to dispel is that Navy recruitersmust lie to be successful.

"The reality of it is ... that it's soeasy to get caught and ruin yourcareer," said Corelli. "The lastthing we want is for a bunch ofSailors in the fleet that can't dothe job because they're not quali-fied. Eventually, I tell all theserecruiters, 'Guess what? One day,guess where you're going whenyour three years is up? You'regoing back to work with thosepeople that you put in. Do youwant to work side-by-side withsomeone you lied about?'"

Instructors and students alikesaid the intangible skills of build-ing relationships and learning torelate to complete strangers arethe most important toolsrecruiters walk away with."As a fire controlman, I actually

ran an ET division for naviga-tional radar and GPS," said FireControlman 1st ClassChristopher Campbell, whoreported to NORU fresh off a touraboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN70). "As far as recruiting, the job

is completely different. I'm inter-acting with people who aren'tSailors. It's a different way toapproach them. It's more aboutbuilding a personal relationshipwith your applicants and futureSailors."Teaching the art of recruiting

boils down to helping theseSailors find qualified people thatcan ultimately make the Navy abetter place, said Corelli."You do change people's life," he

said.

We all know that the men and women who serve inour active duty are special and courageous for thesacrifices they make, not only with regard to familybut also within the larger community. But whatabout the children and youth who also support andmake up our military families? Month of the MilitaryChild is not only a time to help families keep youthsafe and healthy, but is also a time to celebrate whatit means to be a military child. The unique experience of being a military child

includes deployments of loved ones, relocations,unpredictable schedules, military bases, and fewfamiliar faces. However, according to Mary Wertsch'sbook “Military Brats: Legacies of Childhood fromInside the Fortress,” military children are equippedearly on with a sense of duty and responsibility, anability to get along with others, flexibility, loyalty,respect for diversity, and a larger commitment to theworld than their civilian peers.Teens at the Support Site base discuss feeling more

culturally aware and accepting of differences as mili-tary youth who have had an opportunity to travel allover the world and within the United States. Whenasked to compare their experiences to others backhome, youth noticed a change in attitude and behav-iors around accepting others when they went back topublic schools or private schools in the United States. “There is a lot of positive energy here with the

teens,” said Nate Halubka, Teen Center director.“They have a better understanding of cultural diver-

sity. I have worked with youth back in the U.S. andthese youth seem to be always growing and increas-ing their breadth of cultural knowledge.”The challenges of being a parent in the military are

unlike any other. Military moms and dads know howdifficult it can be to spend quality time with theirchild under the demands of an active-duty schedulefilled with watches, overnight duty and deployments. Nina Delucchi, School Age Care Director, states, “I

see parents who work from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and alsohave duty shifts and stand watch multiple timesduring the week,” said Nina Delucchi, School AgeCare director. “Especially in dual military families,the stress and needs can be extremely high.” “When seeing new military children, I recognize

the incredible resiliency, independence and adaptivenature of these kids who get to Naples on aWednesday and are already enrolled in school onFriday,” said Delucchi. “They often learn to make ithappen just like their parents.” Military youth are accustomed to the idea that all

control is external, not only for themselves but alsofor their parents. It is important for parents to bemindful of emphasizing the control youth have tomake healthy choices about aspects in their life thatthey can make decisions about such as health, rela-tionships with peers and effort in school.“My dad was Air Force and I was born in

Germany,” said Lt. Joanna Reid, assigned to U.S.6th Fleet. “I found comfort in knowing that whethermy dad was deployed or not, I knew other kids in myclass were going through something similar.” Youth who are able to reach out to peers and adults

in the community who can relateto them are able to mitigate theunique challenges of developmen-tal stages in the context of unpre-dictability and highly structuredenvironment, especially for teenswhen pushing the boundaries andfinding identity is critical fordevelopment. “Even though we did not live

near the Teen Center, they stilldropped us off regularly and yourealize even though you areunique, you can still find commu-nity that relates to you,” saidReid. Honoring the strengths and

valuing the sacrifice of militaryyouth is essential for buildinghealthier communities and fami-lies.

Celebrating Strengths DuringMonth of the Military Child

No matter what news source you pre-fer, it is well known that rates of obesi-ty in children are higher than theyused to be. In honor of theMonth of the Military Child,let’s talk about keeping kidshealthy and active. As the weather warms up andthe days get longer, it is theperfect time to encourage plen-ty of outdoor activities andsports. It is also the time wherea variety of fresh fruits appearin the market stalls. Use thisseason to make the entire familya little bit healthier.There are many positive lifestyle changes that parents andadults can model for their children. Make an effort to eat mealsas a family unit (no matter what size) at the table instead of infront of the television, and focus on enjoying what is on the platein front of you. We are in the perfect country for this, as Italianshave a great culture surrounding family-style eating. We canlearn from their slow, methodical eating, chatting about the day,and telling stories about the family. These activities encourage the integration of food into our livesinstead of treating mealtime as a hurried afterthought.Encourage your children to make good decisions by offeringchoices whenever possible. Bring picky eaters with you to thegrocery shop and have them pick the fruits and vegetables theylike. Purchase snacks like fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and wholegrain foods, as they make you feel full longer. Limit the intakeof sodas and sugary drinks, and encourage fruits and waterinstead. While nutrition is a very important part of the equation, it isalso imperative that children stay active. Studies have shownthat children who perceive exercise as fun are more likely tomake it a priority later on in life. Most children should haveabout 60 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. Thiscan be in organized sports, running around with friends, orgoing for a brisk walk with the family. Try to limit your child’stelevision, computer and video game exposure to less than 2hours a day, as these activities have been linked to childhoodobesity. Our youth sports programs here on base are also a greatway to make exercise a social and fun event.We are always here to help. If you have questions or concernsrelated to your health, prescriptions, or diagnoses, call yourMedical Home Port at 081-811-6271 during business hours, orcontact us 24/7 through www.Relayhealth.com.

Navy Memorial hosts 23rdBlessing of the FleetThe United States Navy Memorial hosted the 23rd Annual Blessing of the Fleet ceremony at

the memorial in Washington, D.C., April 14.The ceremony followed the annual Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, and featured the United

States Navy Band and Ceremonial Guard, along with a Parade of Attaches and presentationof colors advanced across the memorial's outdoor plaza as the event commenced. President and CEO of the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation, retired Vice Adm. John

Totushek, welcomed the guests to the centuries-old tradition. "Usually this tradition is performed in fishing villages to pray for the Sailors are taken care

of and they come back with a plentiful harvest," said Totushek. The blessing of the fleet is a ceremony created centuries ago in Europe and is a common

practice by Sailors and navies around the world intended to guard ships and crews from thehazards of the sea. Sailors from the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard and Coast Guard Honor Guard poured water

from the Seven Seas and the Great Lakes into the surrounding fountains, "charging" them tolife and ushering in the spring season. This year's ceremony also kicked off the Year of the Coast Guard. "Normally this ceremony is an all-Navy event, but if you look around this year you see a lot

of the lighter-blue participating," said Totushek. "The Navy Memorial is here to represent allthe sea services."Previous year-round themes have included the "Year of the Chief" and the "Year of the

Military Woman" with future themes including the "Year of the Navy Reserve" and the "Yearof the Marine Corps," added Totushek.

Is My Marriage Successful?

What is a successful marriage? In the corporateworld we have titles, desks, ranks, salaries, pro-motions, and organizational charts, which give usa clean-cut answer to this question. In school wehave GPA, classes, societies, clubs, and awards,which also render a fairly good picture of success.In sports we can measure success with win/losscolumns, averages, ribbons, and medals, but howcan we measure the success of a marriage?A common tool used to measure the success of a

marriage is longevity. It seems as if every multipleof five years is a milestone of achievement. While Iam all for congratulations every step of the way,I’m not sure longevity equates to success in a mar-riage. The human power to tolerate, cohabitate,and simply run two different lives under the sameroof, even over thirty years, can be surprising.Other popular factors are the presence or absenceof children, financial security (whatever thatmeans), lack of conflict (this scares me), or socialstanding. As I conversed about this topic with my wife

Tracy, and after challenging each other’s points, weseem to agree on what we call a “starting point.”This acknowledges from the get-go that we do notclaim to touch the depth of this conversation, butrather it’s the beginning of scratching the surface.Here’s our finding: a successful marriage is one inwhich both individuals accept what they know ofeach other, support each other’s full potential, andtackle life with a team-like posture. There youhave it, my personal two cents.I do not have the space to fully discuss each con-

cept, but I would like to provide a helpful illustra-tion of the last factor. Please notice the last linereads “tackle life with a team-like posture.” I have

intentionally usedthe word “posture”instead of “posi-tion”. I help with the track and field team, and there is

a subtle, but clear distinction between these twowords. To engage in a “position” is generally drivenby a moment, a circumstance or emotion; howeverwhen my runners hold a “posture,” this is driven bya plan, an intention, a routine and practice. It is Tracy and my experience that when we take

the initiative to run our relationship with team-like ethos, we change from roommates living underthe same roof, to a functioning and winning teamable to strive together in order to achieve the winas equals. So even though we both may feel thestrain that endurance demands, we keep interact-ing as a unified team in order to make progress,evolve and eventually hold the trophy together.Albert Einstein once said, “Men marry women

with the hope they will never change. Womenmarry men with the hope they will change.Invariable they are both disappointed.” I am nogenius, but my experience tells me that acceptanceand evolution ought to go hand-in-hand. It is notan easy posture, but it seems when we embrace ourpartners for who they are, encourage their fullpotentials and celebrate every step of the way, weare one step closer towards the seemingly elusivesuccessful marriage.
