BASE NOTES

You’ve heard of the term“Ship Shape;” the U.S Navyhas always held organizationand cleanliness as a top pri-ority. Clean functioningequipment, spaces, and per-sonnel demonstrate highmorale, increase safety, andtranslate to higher missioneffectiveness. Onboard NSANaples the situation is no dif-ferent. How can you possiblyenjoy a café or a concert onbase if your view is cluttered by litter or unsightly garbage?Doing our best to keep NSA Naples clean and organized

serves more than just aesthetic purposes, it shows respecttowards your fellow community members, it allows us tolive and work in a place that we can be proud to show off tofamily and friends, and it visibly demonstrates our commit-ment to the environment. I am proud to say that I havepersonally noticed a reduction in loose cups, plastic bags,and stray pieces of garbage over the past year. But thereare still a few areas that could use some help. We still leavea lot of water bottles, juice boxes and snack wrappers onthe athletic fields and playgrounds. Please have the conver-sation with your family to get everyone involved in keepinga clean base. Finally, if you come across a stray piece of lit-ter as you walk from one part of the base to another, pleasepick it up and put it in the nearest trash can. Every littlebit helps, and not just to our common areas, but also in thework place.The beginning of March means the beginning of Red Cross

month. The month of celebration began under PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt in 1943 recognizing how the Ameri-can Red Cross helps people across the country and aroundthe globe. We have intimate knowledge of the organizationin the military as it is our main source of emergency mes-sages to and from family members no matter your duty lo-cation. The Red Cross uses this month to recognize ournation’s everyday heroes including those who help disastervictims get on the road to recovery, give blood to help hospi-tal patients, brighten the day of injured service members ina hospital far from home, or take lifesaving classes andstep forward to assist someone in need. Take some timethis month to consider the great work the Red Cross hasdone for you and the people you knowPlease mark your calendars for the quarterly town hall on

March 8th at the Support Site movie theater. The presenta-tion will begin at 6 p.m., and there will be plenty of time toanswer questions from the community. Have a great week-end and drive safe!

Italian Scientists Discover Evidenceof Volcanic Activity in Gulf of NaplesEvidence of an active seabed doming andgas discharge has been found in the Gulf ofNaples by Italian scientists. The doming,located about five kilometers from the portof Naples, is caused by the rise of gasesfrom a depth of 10-20 kilometers, and theyare similar to those that feed the hy-drothermal systems of Ischia, PhlegraeanFields and Somma-Vesuvius. The discoveryis the result of an oceanography surveyconducted by members of Italy’s NationalResearch Institute (CNR), the National In-stitute of Geophysics and Volcanology(INGV) and the University of Florence. Sci-entists surveyed 35 gas emissions andmore than 650 small craters linked to gasdischarge over the past 12,000 years. Thedata is evidence of “activity linked to a sec-ondary volcanic phenomenon that is notcurrently associated to a direct rise ofmagma,” Guido Ventura of INGV said.

A new chapter in Naval Aviation history was written in1973 when Secretary of the Navy John W. Warner announ-ced a test program to train female student Naval Aviators.

More than four decades had passed since Amelia Earhartsuccessfully became the first woman – and the second person– to complete a non-stop solo flightacross the Atlantic Ocean, and theidea of women in the cockpit repre-sented a sea change for naval aviation.

The program was initiated to test whetherwoman were not only capable of surviving, but thri-ving under the lengthy and rigorous training required tobecome a Naval Aviator.

On March 2, 1973 – three years before women were allo-wed to enter the U.S. Naval Academy – four women madehistory when they joined a group of young officers who re-ported to Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Fla., to com-mence flight training in hopes of ultimately receiving theirwings of gold as a Naval Aviator.

They were Lieutenants (junior grade) Barbara Allen

and Judith Neuffer and Ensigns Jane Skiles and KathleenMcNary.

After the original group, flight training was discontinuedfor female student Naval Aviators until the success of theprogram could be evaluated.

On February 22, 1974, Allen became the first member of herclass to earn her wings of gold as a Naval Aviator at Naval AirStation Corpus Christi, Texas. Allen was assigned to fly C-1s

in Alameda, California, with a transportsquadron and later became the Navy’sfirst jet-qualified female.

In 1976, women were allowed to resumetraining as Naval Aviators. However, they were

limited to only flying helicopters and non-combat aircraft. In 1979 the Naval Flight Officer (NFO) program was ope-

ned to women. And, in 1993 Secretary of Defense Les Aspinauthorized combat aviation to women, including enlisted fe-male aircrew members, which allowed women to fly combatmissions, opening up even more opportunities for women pi-lots and crew members.

Women fill an increasingly important role in in today’sNavy as pilots, naval flight officers, navigators, loadmasters,and varied officer and enlisted aircrew positions.

ENERGY CONSERVATIONCeiling Fans: An Efficient, Effective Way to Cool Off

Ceiling fans are considered the most effective of thesetypes of fans, because they effectively circulate the air in aroom to create a draft throughout the room. If you use airconditioning, a ceiling fan will allow you to raise the ther-mostat setting about four degrees Fahrenheit with no re-duction in comfort. In temperate climates, or duringmoderately hot weather, ceiling fans may allow you toavoid using your air conditioner altogether. Install a fan ineach room that needs to be cooled during hot weather.Turn off ceiling fans when you leave a room; fans cool peo-ple, not rooms, by creating a wind chill effect.Ceiling fans are only appropriate in rooms

with ceilings at least eight feet high. Fanswork best when the blades are seven to ninefeet above the floor and 10 to 12 inchesbelow the ceiling. Fans should be in-stalled so their blades are nocloser than eight inches from theceiling and 18 inches from thewalls.Larger ceiling fans can

move more air than smallerfans. A 36- or 44-inch diameterfan will cool rooms up to 225 square feet,while fans that are 52 inches or more should be used inlarger rooms. Multiple fans work best in rooms longerthan 18 feet. Small- and medium-sized fans will provideefficient cooling in a 4- to 6-foot diameter area, whilelarger fans are effective up to 10 feet.A larger blade will also provide comparable cooling at a

lower velocity than a smaller blade. This may be impor-tant in areas where loose papers or other objects will bedisturbed by a strong breeze. The fan should also be fittedto the aesthetics of the room—a large fan may appearoverpowering in a small room.A more expensive fan that operates quietly and smoothly

will probably offer more trouble-free service than cheaperunits. Check the noise ratings, and, if possible, listen toyour fan in operation before you buy it.When buying ceiling fans, look for the ENERGY STAR®

label. Fans that earn the label move air 20 percent moreefficiently, on average, than standard models.

The San Massimo soup kitchen feeds up to70 people a day and also provides variousfood supplies, utensils and cleaning prod-ucts to those in need. They rely on the ef-forts and donations of volunteers from thechurch and the surrounding community forthe supplies and maintenance.“The COMREL went very well, we were

able to help build relations with members ofthe local area,” Religious Program Special-ist 1st Class Latoya Shine said. “Sailors,wherever they are stationed, should get outin their community. The people that willlook back and be proud of their time spenthere are the ones who volunteered and be-came involved in the culture and area. Vol-

unteering also just makes you feel goodabout yourself, it improves your self-es-teem.”COMREL projects are one of many volun-

teer opportunities while living in Italy. Thenext COMREL will be at San GennaroChurch in Pozzuoli overlooking the BaiaBay and others are planned for the future.“People at these events are very friendly

and welcoming,” Lt. Tung Tran, U.S. NavyChaplain, said. “The community relationprojects are learning experiences, meetingpeople from various parts of the world andgetting to work together and talk together.We are all a global community; we’re allconnected, share the same area and space.Living together and getting along can be avery valuable lesson.”

along with other members ofhis team, was tasked with amission to rescue Dr. DilipJoseph, an American citizenbeing detained by the Tal-iban in a mountainous re-gion in the Qarghah’iDistrict of LaghmanProvince. Byers was the sec-ond assaulter on the ap-proach toward the buildingidentified as containing thehostage. While Byers tried to rip

down blan-kets thatserved asthe door tothe building,the first as-saulterpushed hisway throughthe doorwayand was im-mediatelyshot byenemy AK-47 fire.Byers, fullyaware of thehostilethreat insidethe room,boldly en-tered andimmediatelyengaged aguard point-ing an AK-47 towardshim. As hewas engag-ing thatguard, an-other adultmale dartedtowards thecorner of theroom. Byerscould not

distinguish if the personmay have been the hostagescrambling away or a guardattempting to arm himselfwith an AK-47 that lay inthe corner, so he tackled theunknown male and seizedcontrol of him. While in

MEDAL OF HONOR from page 1

“Our specialoperationsforces are a strategic

national asset.They teach usthat humansare more

important thanhardware.”

The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest award given to members of the Armed Forcesfor gallantry in action. Byers is the first living active duty member of the U.S. Navy to re-ceive the Medal of Honor since April 6, 1976. Photo by Oscar Sosa

hand-to-hand combat, Byersmaintained control of theunknown male with onehand, while adjusting thefocus of his night vision gog-gles (NVGs) with his other.Once his NVGs were fo-cused, he recognized thatthe male was not thehostage and engaged thestruggling armed guard.By now, other team mem-

bers had entered the roomand were calling to Josephto identify himself. Byersheard an unknown voicespeak English from his rightside. He immediately leapedacross the room and self-lessly flung his body on topof the American hostage,shielding him from the con-tinued rounds being firedacross the room. Almost si-multaneously, Byers identi-fied an additional enemyfighter directly behindJoseph. While covering thehostage with his body, Byerswas able to pin the enemycombatant to the wall withhis hand around the enemy’sthroat. Unable to fire any ef-fective rounds into theenemy, Byers was able to re-strain the combatant enoughto enable his teammate tofire precision shots, elimi-nating the final threatwithin the room.Byers quickly talked to

Joseph and, after confirmingthat he was able to move, ex-tracted him to the helicop-ter-landing zone. Byers, acertified paramedic and 18Dmedic, subsequently assistedwith the rendering of med-ical aid to the first assaulter.Byers and others performedCPR during the flight toBagram Airfield where histeammate was declared de-ceased.In a U.S. Navy video, Byers

recalled the moment thepresident called to say hewould receive the Medal ofHonor. “I felt very honoredand very humbled becausenow I’m gonna be a repre-sentative for the Navy andthe Navy Special Warfarecommunity and there’s aweight that that carries withit,” he said. “And thatweight is the sacrifice that

MORE BASE NOTES

A standard soccer ball measures between27 and 28 inches in circumference weighsbetween 14 and 16 ounces, and has 32 pan-els, which are made up of 12 black pen-tagons (five-sided) and 20 white hexagons(six-sided) shapes. The ancient Romans played a game called

“harpastum,” which closely resembles whatwe now call soccer.Soccer supposedly gained popularity in

Great Britain, when inmates at NewgatePrison in the early 1800s discovered thesport. Prisoners, who had their hands cutoff for being thieves, liked the sport becausethey didn’t need their (now-missing) handsto play.The first live telecast of soccer was Sep-

tember 16, 1937, during a practice matchbetween Arsenal and Arsenal Reserves atHighbury stadium.Soccer is the world’s most popular sport.

The game is known as football throughoutthe world, except Canada and the UnitedStates where it is called “soccer” to avoidconfusion with football (the game with thepointy, oval-shaped ball and lots of big play-ers in plastic armor and helmets).A worldwide survey launched by FIFA in

2000 indicates that more than 240 million

people regularly play soccer around theworld, along with almost five million refer-ees, assistant referees and officials directlyinvolved in the game.There is at least one soccer player in 30

percent of American homes, and the numberof high school soccer players in America hasmore than doubled since 1990.A soccer field is called a “pitch” because

every regulation field is pitched – or sloped– five degrees upwards from one end to theother. The teams switch sides after eachhalf so each team has to play slightly uphillfor half the match.Brazilian soccer legend Edson Arantes do

Nascimento, better known as Pelé, is widelyconsidered as the greatest soccer player ofall time. He is listed in the Guinness WorldRecords for most career goals (1,281 goals in1,363 games). In 1997, he received an hon-orary knighthood fromQueen Elizabeth II at aceremony in Buck-ingham Palace, andtwo years laterTime magazinenamed him intheir list of 100most influentialpeople of the 20thcentury.
