The holidays are in full swingwith the seasonal Support Sitetree lighting last Friday. It was afantastic community event put onby the professionals at MWRwith a lot of support from theNEX, USO, AFN, and many otherof or local volunteer driven or-ganizations. On Monday I held a quarterlytown hall with special guest RearAdm. Jack Scorby, our RegionalCommander, to discuss a range oftopics from operational securityto housing and upcoming events. There was a lot of discussion fo-cused on the internet issues experienced at the beginning of themonth, and I was able to relay the cause and the steps we are tak-ing to improve service. The internet on Support Site was disruptedby a power outage on Saturday that corrupted the Telecom Italiaservers. It was a difficult problem to fix and it took until Monday tofigure it out and get the fix in place. I called a meeting with theTelecom Italia staff, NEX Residential Services, Public Works andother stakeholders this past Monday to discuss the failures we ex-perienced and to discuss much needed improvements to our inter-net service. We are taking steps to better ensure that this type ofoutage doesn’t happen again, and Telecom Italia committed to im-prove the internet infrastructure and bandwidth on the SupportSite. Additionally, these upgrades will soon allow residents to havethe option between a 20 and 40 megabyte service.Another major topic of discussion covered where to look for infor-mation concerning closures, maintenance and other major events onbase. The PAO Notes, the NSA Naples Facebook page, and the CO’sRadio show (on Friday’s from 7 to 8 a.m. on 107 AFN The Eagle) arethe three main sources of getting information out to the community.In the event of an emergency or other development, more urgentnotifications are pushed out to the community via the AtHoc mes-saging service, Giant Voice, and on the AFN emergency channel.Some other suggestions regarding methods of communication weremade at the town hall last Monday evening and we are taking stepsto get the word out in new and creative ways.Attending town halls is really the best way to have your voiceheard regarding community issues. Each quarter I bring all of mydepartment heads, NCIS, the CO of the Hospital, and many othersto share the latest information on current issues and hear yourcomments and concerns in the question and answer session. Thisvenue provides a forum for two-way communications with decisionmakers and leaders in the community and helps me to better un-derstand the issues on which I should focus more attention. I get alot out of the town halls, and I hope to continue to have lots of peo-ple show up and help make improvements to the quality of life inNaples.Sunday at sunset marked the beginning of Hanukkah across theworld which will last for eight days till the nightfall on December16. The eight-day Jewish celebration commemorates the rededica-tion during the time of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where ac-cording to legend, the Jewish people rose up against theiroppressors in the Maccabean Revolt. The Navy consists of Sailorsand civilians from all cultures and walks of life. Be sure to take in-terest and understand the celebrations and customs of those aroundyou. Diversity of people, opinion, and tradition is a core tenet of oursuccess; we in the United States are unified in our celebration of di-versity. Celebrate our culture by celebrating the cultures of all.Have a good weekend, enjoy the great weather we are having, andplease remain vigilant!

THE INSIDE PAGE

A concerted national effort to hire veter-ans, coupled with their sought-after essen-tial skills training, likely had an effect onmaking October’s veteran unemploymentrate the lowest since April 2008, a DefenseDepartment official said November 30. Susan S. Kelly, who leads DoD’s Transi-tion to Veterans Program Office, spoke toDoD News about the October Bureau ofLabor Statistics Report published by theLabor Department, which indicated thatveteran unemployment has been lowerthan the rate of nonveteran unemploymentfor 23 consecutive weeks. In October, theveteran unemployment rate stood at just3.9 percent, while nonveteran unemploy-ment was 5.4 percent.Kelly said she believes the drop in veter-ans’ unemployment stems from several fac-tors, such as the economic upturn acrossthe country, as well as the many layers ofeffort in the public and private sectors tohire veterans. In addition, she said, employers are seek-ing the professional “essential skills” in-grained in every veteran.“Employers have been telling us the last18 months, ‘We can train them in technicalskills, but the [other skills] take years todevelop,” Kelly said. Those “essential skills” include leadership,ability to handle work stress, persistence,attention to detail, interpersonal skills,teamwork and team-building, oral andwritten communication, decision making,training people, supervising, critical think-ing and project planning, she said, addingthat the philosophy behind hiring veteranshas evolved from the “right thing to do” to“the smart thing to do.”“The heads of corporations say they spendmillions of dollars every year teaching theirmanagers leadership skills,” she said, andemployers have learned that veterans ar-rive at the workplace already equippedwith these skills.

Veteran Hiring: A Snowball EffectNot long ago, veteran unemploymentamong young veterans ranged in the doubledigits. When the White House’s JoiningForces initiative began in 2011, it called onall sectors of society to hire veterans andspouses and “opened avenues for veteranemployment,” Kelly noted.At DoD, with the help of several federal

agencies, Kelly led the transformation ofthe Transition Assistance Program intoweeklong, mandatory training for transi-tioning service members, giving them theskills and knowledge necessary to securejobs, seek education and pursue optionaltraining, such as how to start a business.More federal agencies, corporations andnonprofit organizations joined the hiring ef-fort and sought veterans for employment.For example, national retailer Wal-Martlaunched the “Greenlight a Vet” campaignto shine a light on how veterans enrichcommunities and to encourage hiring veter-ans, who are known to take action quickly,show great leadership skills and “representthe best of America,” an organization state-ment noted.Several organizations, including the Insti-tute for Veterans and Military Families;Team Red, White and Blue; Team Rubicon;Blue Star Families; and the U.S. Chamberof Commerce’s Hiring Our Heroes programhave also joined the effort.“Each one brings us a unique contributionto veteran unemployment,” Kelly said.

Rand Corp. Endorses Veteran SkillsetWhile it was understood veterans hadstrong work ethics and skills, Kelly said,those basics weren’t “codified” until DoDenlisted the Rand Corp. to study the com-bat arms profession -- the field with thefewest technical skills transferrable to civil-ian employment.Since Rand’s study this year, it has en-dorsed hiring veterans and illustrated howveterans’ essential skills line up “very well”with what the Labor Department, acade-mia and economists named as necessary inthe 21st century workforce, she said.The professional standards taught totroops are an asset to the civilian workforceduring a time when the nation is chal-lenged to fill what Kelly calls “a gap inworkforce skills.” She said that while DoDis “delighted” with the drop in veteran un-employment, the turnaround is an ongoingeffort that is continually adapting to newlessons learned.“We look at these skills as an asset for theworkforce, but our veterans have an incred-ible amount of attributes that can be usedin all aspects of community life,” Kelly said.“They can be leaders, and in [those] I meet,I tell them to run for public office, becauseour nation needs leaders, and they havewhat it takes … for the betterment of all ofcommunity life.”

NAVY HISTORY: FIRST SHIP-BASED RADAR INSTALLED

On December 9, 1938, a proto-type shipboard radar, XAF,designed and built bythe Naval ResearchLaboratory (NRL),was installed onthe battleship USSNew York (BB 34). The term“RADAR” was coi-ned in 1940 by theNRL as an acronym forRAdio Detection And Ran-ging. Under the greatest se-crecy, installation on other Navyvessels began in 1940. The newradar proved its worth in detec-ting the enemy ships and air-craft throughout World War II.NRL’s XAF radar, fondlyknown as the “flying bedspring,”due to its square-ish shape, wasthe prototype that showed theNavy what this new radio detec-ting and ranging system was ca-pable of doing. The XAF radar was installedaboard USS New York (BB 34)in preparation for fleet exercisesin the Caribbean in early 1939.During the at-sea exercises, the200 MHz XAF system succes-sfully spotted aircraft at distan-ces up to 48 miles and ships at10 miles, and could even follow14-inch shells in flight. It alsodetected and pinpointed destro-yers making nighttime simula-ted torpedo attacks.NRL physicist Robert M. Page,one of the developers of the XAFsystem and inventor of manyother radar technologies, wasaboard New York and later de-scribed the reaction after themock attacks.“These performances were atnight, with no possibility of se-eing the destroyers. Their lightswere out,” Page said. “That re-ally impressed the officers.From then on they were sold onthe stuff and they would give usanything we wanted.”Commander, Atlantic Squa-

dron Adm. A.W. Johnson wasgreatly impressed with the newtechnology and urged the Navy

to use and develop RADAR.“The equipment isone of the most im-portant militarydevelopmentssince the adventof radio itself,”Johnson said. “Itsvalue as a defen-sive instrument of

war and as an instru-ment for avoidance of colli-

sions at sea justifies the Navy’sunlimited development of theequipment.”XAF’s capabilities resulted inthe recommendation for imme-diate procurement of “10 to 20 of

the devices in their presentform” for installation on Fleetvessels.The NRL system went rapidlyto production by RCA as theCXAM and CXAM-1 models,and by the time the United Sta-tes entered World War II, theseradar units were installed on 20Navy vessels, mainly heavycruisers, carriers and battle-ships.Radar surged in importance,and NRL, which had a wide-ranging program of radio rese-arch, developed prototypes of airand submarine radars that werealso used during the war. Today,NRL continues to be a leadingcenter for research and develop-ment of radar systems.

There are a variety of low-cost andno-cost methods to conserve energyand home but what about those ofus who are ready to take energysavings to a whole new level? Theinstallation of programmable ther-mostats, energy efficient windowsand conducting home audits weremerely baby steps. You now may beready to consider incorporatingclean energy into your home energy-saving strategy.The installation of a solar panelsystem may be just right for your home. With advance-ments in technology and the expansion of the solar indus-try, prices for solar panels have fallen dramatically. A wind turbine system is a great option if you live on atleast one acre of land and experience strong winds in yourarea. Be sure to coordinate with the zoning requirementsfor your city/town. Wind turbine systems and reduce en-ergy cost by as much as 90 percent.Small hydropower systems are beneficial to those whohave a source of flowing water on their property. Often, a10-kilowatt microhydropower system can provide enoughpower for a large home, small resort or a small farm. Aswith the energy options, please verify zoning requirementsand acquire any necessary permits prior to beginning in-stallation.Energy conservation at home is a continuous home im-provement project. There are a series of options availableand they are becoming more affordable. Someone is alwaysworking on the “next big way” to reduce usage and push to-wards a more energy secure future.

A study conducted by the NavalHealth Research Center (NHRC),published in the Journal of ClinicalVirology Oct. 29, found that bloodsamples from military members whoreceived the adenovirus vaccine hadno detectable amounts of the viruspost-vaccination.“Recruits are an important source ofvoluntary blood donations for the mil-itary health system,” Lt. Cmdr. LoriPerry, a preventive medicine physi-cian at NHRC and study author, said.“The donated blood is used at mili-tary hospitals for active duty, retired

military, and their family members,some of whom may be immunocom-promised. Maintaining recruits’ well-being is imperative to ensuringhealthy and usable donations, whichis why this study was initiated.” The adenovirus vaccine has beengiven routinely at recruit trainingcenters starting in October 2011 tohelp reduce adenovirus infectionsamong the recruits, which can becommon in this population. Close liv-ing spaces and training-related stressand fatigue are likely factors thatcontribute to recruits’ susceptibilityto these infections.According to Perry, there is cur-rently no published research showing

adenovirus vaccine-generatedviremia, a condition in which thevirus enters the bloodstream, poten-tially infecting other body systems.The concern with the blood donatedby recruits was that the adenoviruscould be transmitted to the recipientthrough the donated blood.“We wanted to know if, and for howlong, adenovirus could be found inblood post-vaccination,” Perry said.“We collected and tested blood sam-ples from 249 recruits at MarineCorps Recruit Depot San Diego pre-vaccination and at several timepoints post-vaccination from thethird day up to day 61. No detectableadenovirus was found in any of the

blood samples at any time.”According to the study, the findingsindicate that blood donations from aservice member vaccinated with ade-novirus do not pose any greater riskthan any routine blood transfusion toimmunocompromised patients. As the DoD’s premier deploymenthealth research center, NHRC’s cut-ting-edge research and developmentis used to optimize the operationalhealth and readiness of the nation’sarmed forces. In proximity to morethan 95,000 active duty service mem-bers, world-class universities, and in-dustry partners, NHRC sets thestandard in joint ventures, innova-tion, and translational research.

Every year across the globe millionsof Christmas trees are harvested, soldand placed in our homes. We decoratethem, put presents under themand after the holidays, the treesare retired for the rest of theyear. These traditions startedlong ago.For thousands of yearsplants and trees thathold their green color dur-ing the winter monthshave had special sig-nificance in severalcountries. The modernChristmas tree camefrom German tradi-tion. Christian house-holds often broughttrees inside to deco-rate. Many believe that thefirst instance of a litChristmas tree came aboutwhen Protestant ministerMartin Luther saw stars shiningthrough an evergreen and tried torecreate the scene for his family usinglighted candles. America adopted thiscustom much later, originally denyingtheir use because they were seen as

pagan symbols. As a matter of fact, in1659 a law was enacted outlawing thecelebration of Christmas as anythingother than a religious observance.Still, the tree won out, and by the

turn of the 20th century Christ-mas decorations were being im-ported from Germany, and treesgraced the homes of many

American families. The tra-dition was accepted soquickly that by the 1940’sChristmas trees were

springing up in townsquares across the na-tion. The most famous ofthese trees may be theRockefeller CenterChristmas Tree in NewYork City.The Rockefeller Cen-

ter tree was first placedin 1931. It was undecoratedand placed by constructionworkers working at thesite. Two years after thatthe tree was erected and lit

with electric lights. Now the Rocke-feller tree boasts an astounding25,000 Christmas lights.Christmas trees are now grown in all50 states, with 77 million new treesbeing planted every year.
