Ten Sailors who were detained by Iran, have safely returned toU.S. custody Wednesday. There are no indications that the Sailorswere harmed during their brief detention.

The Sailors departed Farsi Island on Wednesday morning aboardthe two Riverine Command Boats (RCB) that they had been operat-ing when they lost contact with the U.S. Navy. The Sailors werelater transferred ashore by U.S. Navy aircraft, while other Sailorstook charge of the RCBs and continued transiting toward Bahrain,the boats’ original destination. The Navy will investigate the cir-cumstances that led to the Sailors’ presence in Iran.

“I want to personally thank Secretary of State John Kerry for hisdiplomatic engagement with Iran to secure our Sailors’ swift re-turn,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said in a statement on Wednes-day. “Around the world, the U.S. Navy routinely provides assistanceto foreign sailors in distress, and we appreciate the timely way inwhich this situation was resolved.”

Today marks the birthday ofMartin Luther King Jr., thechief spokesman for nonvio-lent activism in the CivilRights Movement of the 1950sand 60s. His contributions toHuman Rights in our Nationand the World are celebratedannually on the third Mondayof January each year. My ex-periences overseas have pro-vided countless examples ofthe influence American cul-ture has on the rest of theworld. No matter where you travel, American music, movies,television, and news are broadcast, enjoyed and in high de-mand. It is for this reason that Dr. King and other influentialleaders in the Civil Rights Movement are so important to ourNation and our international standing and credibility. Theirleadership not only changed the culture within the UnitedStates, but also led to many positive changes across theglobe. Consider your own actions while stationed abroad. Insome places the military operates, you could likely be thefirst American someone has ever met. Make an effort to learnthe important customs and a few words of the local languagebefore visiting a new country or city. Ask questions about thehistory and the contemporary culture. We often talk aboutconducting liberty as a mission, and as representatives of theUnited States and of the military abroad, we all need to cher-ish the opportunities to travel abroad and be respectful ofcultures other than our own. The change in seasons in Naples brings drastic changes to

the weather and temperature. This past summer we sawrecord high temperatures across the area, and now in winterwe are experiencing almost weekly rains highlighted by theoccasional hail storm. The abundance of water in the atmos-phere provides a healthy environment for the flourishingvegetation of southern Italy, but unfortunately the benefits ofthe environment don’t distinguish between the “good” floraand the mold. If you notice mold growing in your apartmentor house the first step is to remove the mold with a commonbleach water mixture, and then ensure the area is properlyventilated. Proper ventilation is the key to keeping a lid onmold. Mold grows in damp environments, so occasionallyopening your windows to air out your apartment or house isa highly effective prevention method. By taking simple pre-cautions, and preventative measures you can maintain ahealthy, safe, and efficient household and installation. Ofcourse, if your efforts are having little effect, reach out tohousing for assistance. We are standing ready to assist en-suring our community is properly supported. Enjoy the four-day weekend by easing back into 2016. Slow

down, stay safe, and help me to wish a happy birthday toMartin Luther King Jr!

THIS WEEK IN NAVY HISTORY

On Jan. 14, 1863, Secretary of theNavy Gideon Welles signed U.S.Navy General Order No. 4, theEmancipation Proclamation. Three-and-a-half months earlier, on Sept.22, 1862, shortly after the Battle ofAntietam – the first major battle ofthe Civil War to take place on Unionsoil and the bloodiest single-day inAmerican history – President Abra-ham Lincoln gathered his cabinet topresent the latest version of hisEmancipation Proclamation. Lincoln had been working on the document but had been advised tostep cautiously and slowly regardingits public announcement. Knowing the proclamation would

have historic and far-reaching rami-fications The proclamation was published

that same day and it took effect Jan. 1, 1863, affirming the emancipation of slaves in all statesstill in rebellion.

Did you know you likely use between 80 to 100gallons of water each day? Every single day. And

that’s more than 29,000 gallons each year. Thelargest household use of water is flushing thetoilet. We are literally flushing one of theearth’s most precious resources down the toi-let. And there is much you can do to conserve

water. Every drop counts.Whether you already have a low-flow toilet

or not, be sure it is functioning properly andnot leaking. Even though toilets are thebiggest household user of water, they aren’t

the only way you are wasting water in the bathroom. If you turnoff the water while brushing your teeth, you can save up to eightgallons of water per day – that’s nearly 3,000 gallons per year. The shower is another place with the potential to save a lot of

water. Not only can you conserve water by installing a low-flowshowerhead, but you can also save energy (and money) on waterheating.Some people also have their washer and dryer in their bath-

rooms, leaving yet another way to conserve water in this room ofthe house. When is it time to do laundry, be sure you are onlywashing full loads. If you do have to wash a small load, be sureto use the appropriate water level setting. Also, look for EnergyStar clothes washers, which clean clothes using 35 percent lesswater and 20 percent less energy than standard appliances.

Naval Legal Service Can Help With Taxes, Seeking VolunteersThe Navy Tax Assistance Center program

has evolved over time to best meet missionrequirements while addressing prac-tical manning and budgetary re-alities. In 2014, all Naval LegalService Command (NLSC) sitesfully transitioned into self-service tax assistance cen-ters.In the past, NLSC sites were

able to offer one-on-one taxpreparation to customers onthe basis of ample staff andsupport for this service. Overthe past several years, boththe number of volunteersavailable and the demand forfull-service tax assistancehave decreased. This is re-lated to the introduction of al-ternate, low-cost online taxassistance preparation pro-grams.With the Navy’s self-service program,

you are still able to electronically file yourreturn and receive assistance from IRS-certified tax personnel. In doing so, you

will also learn how to prepare taxes onyour own using free, internet-based soft-ware. This will provide customers withbetter service and decreased wait times.The Tax Assistance Centers are limited tothe services provided by Military OneSource and the IRS Free File Alliance

on-line tax filing programs. Taxfilers can access these servicesfrom any computer by visiting

www.irs.gov or www.military-onesource.mil and have access to

trained tax consultants to helpmake informed decisions about

their tax returns.Region Legal Service Office will

be happy to assist you when weopen tax centers for self-service as-

sistance in late January. Anyoneinterested in volunteering to as-

sist service members andtheir families in incometax filing should contactDaniela Floco by calling

Comm. 081-568-4576 or DSN626-4576 or via email at daniela.floco-

Service Cross, Silver Star Review To “ensure that those service members who performed

valorously were recognized at the appropriate level,” thedefense official said that Defense Secretary Ash Carterhas directed the military departments to review Distin-guished Service Cross, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross, andSilver Star Medal recommendations since September 11,2001, for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.There are approximately 1,000 Silver Star and 100

service cross recommendations under review, the officialsaid. While there is a possibility a medal could get up-graded, no service member will have the award down-graded, he said.The defense official noted “unusual Medal of Honor

awards trends,” as one reason for the review.The first seven Medal of Honor awards for actions in

Iraq and Afghanistan were posthumous, he said. Theremay have been a perception that only a fallen servicemember could receive the nation’s highest militaryaward for valor, he said.After the Defense Department clarified the “risk of life”

portion for the Medal of Honor’s criteria in 2010, all 10recipients have been living, he noted. The review is toensure that no one deserving of a higher honor has beenoverlooked, the defense official said.The results of the reviews are due to the secretary of

defense on Sept. 30, 2017, he said.

Fire Controlman 1st Class Elizabeth Clarkfrom Arleigh-Burke guided-missile de-stroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) was recognizedas “Missile Defender of the Year” during aceremony at the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA) annual cere-

mony in Alexandria, Virginia, January 8.The event also included Defender of the

Year winners from the Army, Air Force andArmy National Guard who best exhibitedleadership, personal effort and demon-strated a commitment to excellence in mis-sile defense and their critical role indefending our country. The award recognizes and honors the con-

tributions of members of the military whoman fully operational missile defense sys-tems.The defenders are active-duty officers, en-

listed personnel, or reservists from eachservice branch who work within the missiledefense system and are nominated by theirpeers and commanding officers.Clark, from Deer Park, Washington, en-

listed in the Navy in March 2010.She served four years aboard Ross and overthe last year, Clark’s efforts enabled theship to support a wide range of missions invarious environments.

Clark was the lead AN/SPY-1D 3D Radar,or, SPY technician aboard the ship and en-sured scheduling and completion of all pre-ventative and corrective maintenance. Herefforts have corrected casualty reports,avoided multiple others and helped to savethe Navy approximately $78,950.“I am very honored to have been selected

for this achievement; it took a lot of longhours, on and off duty, and unwavering sup-port from my fellow technicians and leader-ship,” Clark said. “We did this together andI am fortunate to have a great chain of com-mand that recognizes our hard work anddedication to the mission and our Sailors.”Her experience and system knowledge re-

sulted in 100 percent mission readiness al-lowing Ross to track and execute its firstBallistic Missile Defense (BMD) firing. Itwas due in part to Clark’s ability to operateand maintain the Aegis Combat Suite andSPY radar.Clark was recently promoted to petty offi-

cer first class and has been recognized forexcellent work as one of 6th Fleet’s 2M tech-nicians for the 3rd quarter fiscal year 2015. The Missile Defender of the Year award is

an annual honor given by the Missile De-fense Advocacy Alliance, a non-profit organi-zation devoted to building a wide range ofsuccessful missile defense systems for theUnited States.

See Something? Say Something to Keep the Navy’s Network Guarded

The Department of Home-land Security’s “If You SeeSomething, Say Something”campaign raises our aware-ness of terrorism indicators,and stresses the importanceof reporting suspicious activ-ity to law enforcement. A similar approach is

needed in the cyber domainto protect the Navy’s systemsand networks. If you seesomething suspicious orunauthorized, say some-thing, because vigilance andadherence to cybersecuritybest practices protects theNavy’s operational capabili-ties. According to the Navy In-

formation Assurance Pro-gram, commanding officers,commanders, officers-in-charge, and directors are re-sponsible for the overallimplementation of informa-tion assurance (now calledcybersecurity) at the com-mand level. They appoint in-formation assurancemanagers (IAM) who reportto the command on all cyber-security matters.

Bottom line: Report suspi-cious or unauthorized cyberactivity to your IAM, whoshould be identified in theplan of the day. Now, what kind of activities

should you report to yourIAM?Topping the list of best

practices is “Don’t Take theBait,” which describes a formof email spoofing called“phishing” and how to recog-nize it. Phishing may involvesending unwanted e-mailmessages, often with mali-cious content, in large quan-tities to an indiscriminate setof recipients in the hopesthat at least one “takes thebait.”If you’re on the Navy Ma-

rine Corps Intranet (NMCI),report spam and suspectedphishing emails by forward-ing them as an attachment [email protected], thendelete them from your inboxand sent items folder. Doingso will help NMCI blockspammers and phishers.Also, report these emails toyour IAM. For non-NMCI users, the

best practice for possiblephishing emails or emailsthat contain suspicious at-tachments is to delete them

as well as report them toyour IAM.Unsolicited emails that re-

quest sensitive personal ororganizational informationshould be reported to yourIAM. Attackers with this in-formation can hurt you per-sonally by stealing youridentity, threaten the opera-tional security of the com-mand, or make themselvesappear legitimate to othersso they can compromise theNavy’s cyber defenses. Report any unauthorized

devices connected to the net-work. Devices like thumbdrives and cell phones mayinadvertently contain soft-ware that allows an intruderinside the Navy’s defenses ifthey’re plugged into Navycomputers or systems.Peer-to-peer (P2P) file shar-

ing programs, like some thatshare music files, should alsobe reported to your IAM be-cause they can spread badsoftware inside the Navy’snetwork defenses.

If the answer to any of thebelow questions raised by theDepartment of Homeland Se-curity’s Computer EmergencyResponse Team is “yes”, re-port the incident to your IAM.

● Suspicious questioning.Are you aware of anyone at-tempting to gain informationin person, by phone, mail,email or other means regard-ing the configuration or cy-bersecurity posture of theNavy’s network, websites,software or hardware?● Unauthorized access.Are you aware of anyone atempting (either failed or suc-cessful) to gain unauthorizedaccess to systems or data?● Unauthorized changesor additions. Has anyonemade unauthorized changesto the Navy’s hardware orsoftware without the knowl-

edge, instruction, or consentof the Information Technol-ogy Department?● Unauthorized use. Areunauthorized people usingNavy systems for storing orprocessing data? Are formerNavy personnel still access-ing Navy systems?

You are the target, but youare also the solution. Know-ing the types of activitiesthat could compromise theNavy’s cyber defenses or in-dicate malicious intent aswell as who should be alertedwill help protect our mission,systems, networks and data.

The giant panda cub Bei Bei (BAY-BAY) who was born this past summerwill make his public debut tomorrow.In the past three months since

his birth, Bei Bei, who’s namemeans “precious, treasure,”has transformed from apink hairless cub weigh-ing about 5 ounces to arobust 12.5-pound black-and-white cub capableof crawling andsometimes walkingon his own. The zoo’s panda team has

been monitoring him care-fully since his birth be-cause baby pandas oftendo not live long morethan a few days. Now,Bei Bei is larger thanboth his older siblings BaoBao (BOW-BOW) and Tai Shan (tie-SHON) were at the same age. Because Bei Bei has shown that he

is sensitive to noise, the panda househas been closed since August to givehe and his mother, Mei Ziang, quietand time to bond. The National Zoo, which is based at

Washington, D.C., has been home togiant pandas for more than 30 years.The first giant pandas to live at the

National Zoo were Hsing Hsing andLing Ling in 1972. These rare giantpandas have come to symbolize thezoo’s efforts to celebrate, study andprotect all endangered species and

their habitats.When it reopens, the panda

house will be open from 9a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Al-though the panda house willonce again receive visitorsin the New Year, hismother, Mei Xiang, and BeiBei will continue to have ac-cess to the den where BeiBei was born. When theyspend time in the den,they will only be visible

on the panda cams.On high visitationdays, visitors will beallowed into thepanda house in small

groups.The Smithsonian’s National Zoo was

created by an Act of Congress in 1889for “the advancement of science andthe instruction and recreation of thepeople.” In 1890 it became a part ofthe Smithsonian Institution. Its mis-sion is to provide leadership in ani-mal care, science, education, andsustainability. About 1,800 individu-als of 300 different species are in theanimal collection.
