The Centers for DiseaseControl reports that drown-ing is the second leadingcause of unintentional deathfor children ages 1-14.To help stop this trend,

Navy Fitness is launchingits first Drowning Preven-tion Campaign: SPLASH.Through SPLASH, westrive to educate parentsand youth on the impor-tance of pool safety anddangers associated with un-supervised swimming. In conjunction with this

campaign, all childrenunder the age of 17 whowish to use the deep endareas, slide and divingboard, must take and pass amandatory swim test. Chil-dren ages 10 and 16, if leftunattended at the pool,must demonstrate the abil-ity to pass the Navy YouthSwim Test. The Navy Youth Swim Test

consists of swimming 25meters of a recognizablestroke (front crawl orbreast-stroke, no underwa-ter swimming or swimmingon back); treading water forone minute; and a deepwater entry, recovery to sur-face, and unassisted exit.“We realize that this

means a lot of our commu-nity kids must now take aswim test, whereas theywere not required to inyears past,” MWR AquaticsDirector Deborah Moorssaid. “However, to makethings easier, MWR hasscheduled swim testingdates to help get everyonethe chance to take the NavyYouth Swim Test prior tothe Support Site pool sea-sonal opening.”The initial swim test dates

Peak PCS Moving Season: Ready, Set, Move!

(Part 2 of 3)

Setting up the MoveBy now, most service members know

about Defense Personal Property System(DPS). Before you decide to start your up-coming move application in DPS or contactthe local PPSO, visit the Navy’s officialPortal at http://navsup.navy.mil/householdfor updated information, customer informa-tion videos and articles, regarding shippingentitlements, claims, privately owned vehi-cles and much more.

Provided you’ve done all the leg work up-front, your next step is to visit thewww.move.mil to set up your DPS accountin order to create and submit your moveapplication. Although “self-counseling” ishighly encouraged, you must contact thepersonal property shipping office if you’vesubmitted a self-counseled application andreceived no response from a householdgoods counselor. Although an application

was submitted, it is not complete untilyou’ve signed the application forms and re-turned them to the servicing PPSO. Toomany times, service members claim theysubmitted their applica-tion and thoughtthey had anarranged moveset up only tofind out theirplans have tochange because theapplication was notfinalized and themoving dates theywanted are nolonger avail-able.

Counseling isby far the most importantpart of a successful move. Customers mustensure they have all the information theyneed. Carefully read all DPS applicationinstructions do not just skip screen pageswithout fully understanding the informa-tion or following the instructions. Having

valid and updated contact information(phone numbers, e-mail, etc.) in DPS is thekey to a service member’s successful move.

Customers should arrange early, remainflexible with their pack out

or pick up dates, and tryto schedule before orafter the peak of thepeak season whenever

possible. Initial packout or pick up dates

are your “desired”pack or pick upand are not con-

firmed until offi-cial ordersare turnedinto the

PPSOand the

moving company contacts the service mem-ber to finalize the pack and pick up dates,conduct the pre-move survey and establishthe Required Delivery Date (RDD). DPSwill generate a Desired Delivery Date

BASE NOTES

This week there are a lot ofevents with global impact inNaples as we roll into thesummer festivals and celebra-tions of local culture, cuisineand art. One of the most no-table of these events was therecent attempt by a team ofNeopolitan pizza chefs hopingto break the record for largestpizza ever made. If you missedout on that event, there arestill a wide range of opportu-nities throughout the summerstarting with a wine tasting event at Castel dell’Ovo this week-end.Next week is Memorial Day weekend and many of our commu-

nity members will be taking advantage of the time off to travelaround Italy and Europe, exploring bucket list cities, and ex-panding their cultural vocabulary. I would like to remind every-one that the Memorial Day holiday is given as a time toremember those that have fallen defending the United States ofAmerica. Their sacrifice allowed our nation to achieve the highideals of freedom, and become a motivating force for a freer andmore stable world. Since 1776, patriots have fought to defend“certain unalienable rights” – Life, Liberty and the pursuit ofHappiness. We honor their memory by standing their watch,continuing the necessary tradition of defending our citizens, bor-ders and allies. Each active duty member swears an oath to sup-port and defend the Constitution of the United States, and onMemorial Day we remember those that have given everything inthe fulfillment of that oath.Please maintain heightened situational awareness over the

coming weekend. Considering current events, it is no surprisethat security levels remain high across the region. Before youdepart on your Memorial Day weekend getaway be sure thatyour most recent contact information is updated in your com-mand’s recall roster, and that your NFAAS documents reflect ac-curate information. Before travelling, be sure to sign up forAtHoc alerts and messages – it’s a requirement for all activeduty personnel and civilian sponsors. While travelling, stay in-formed by at least skimming the headlines daily and checkingthe NSA Facebook page. Check with your chain of command toensure your travel destination is not off limits or restricted, andplease check the state department website to get a general ideafor travel alerts in the region. My aim is to ensure we maximizeawareness of our security environment, and give everyone theinformation needed to make good decisions.The Support Site is looking good, thanks to everyone for help-

ing to keep a clean environment. Stay safe, plan ahead, andhave a great weekend!

Armed Forces Day is celebrated annually onthe third Saturday of May. Armed ForcesWeek begins on the second Saturday of Mayand ends on the third Sunday of May. Becauseof their unique training schedules, NationalGuard and Reserve units may celebrateArmed Forces Day/Week over any period inMay.On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense

Louis Johnson announced the creation of anArmed Forces Day to replace separate Army,Navy and Air Force Days.The single-day celebration stemmed from the

recent unification of the Armed Forces underone department – the Department of Defense.Each of the military leagues and/or orders wasasked to drop their sponsorship of a respectiveservice-specific day to celebrate the newly an-nounced Armed Forces Day. The Army, Navyand Air Force leagues adopted the newly for-med day. The Marine Corps League declined todrop support for Marine Corps Day but it alsostepped up to support Armed Forces Day, too.In a speech announcing the formation of the

new holiday, the 33rd president of the UnitedStates, President Harry S. Truman praisedthe work of the military services at home andacross the seas.“It is vital to the security of the nation and to

the establishment of a desirable peace,” he said. Truman’s presidential proclamation of Fe-

bruary 27, 1950, which officially announcedthe new holiday to the American public:“Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950,marks the first combined demonstration byAmerica’s defense team of its progress, underthe National Security Act, towards the goal ofreadiness for any eventuality. It is the first pa-

rade of preparedness by the unified forces ofour land, sea, and air defense.”The theme of that first Armed Forces Day

was “Teamed for Defense.”That theme was chosen as a means of ex-

pressing the unification of all the military for-ces under a single department of thegovernment. There were several other reasonsfor holding Armed Forces Day. It was a type of“educational program for civilians,” one inwhich there would be an increased awarenessof the Armed Forces, which was designed toexpand public understanding of what type ofjob is performed and the role of the military incivilian life. A May 17, 1952, New York Times editorial

supporting Armed Forces Day reminded theirreaders that American Troops were fightingon the front lines in Korea: “This is the day onwhich we have the welcome opportunity topay special tribute to the men and women ofthe Armed Forces ... to all the individuals whoare in the service of their country all over theworld. Armed Forces Day won’t be a matter ofparades and receptions for a good many ofthem. They will all be in line of duty and someof them may give their lives in that duty.”The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated

by parades, open houses, receptions and airshows. Ten-thousand troops from all branches of the

military, cadets and veterans marched in Wa-shington, D.C. In Berlin, 1,000 U.S. troops pa-raded for the German citizens at TemplehofAirfield, and in New York City, an estimated33,000 participants participated in ArmedForces Day “under an air cover of 250 militaryplanes of all types.” Across the country, theAmerican people joined together to honor theArmed Forces.

ENERGY CONSERVATIONDOD Consumes More Than Five Billion Gallons of Petroleum Annually

The Department of Defense, one of theworld’s largest institutional consumersof oil, consumes approximately five bil-lion gallons of petroleum each year,spending on average $15 billion peryear. In fact, fuel prices added an extra$5 billion over what was already budgeted overthe last two years, according to the Secretaryof the Navy, Ray Mabus.

DoD fuel expenditure: $15 billion (budgeted price of fuel)

+ $5 billion (volatile fuel price spikes) $20 billion (total annual fuel cost)

Global oil prices are truly volatile, and we arenot exempt. The Navy, while consuming 22 per-cent of DoD’s total fuel, spends approximately $4billion to $5 billion a year on fuel to power its daily operations, bothashore and afloat. We are financially burdened by unpredictablechanges in oil pricing. In fact, every $1 rise in a barrel of oil coststhe Navy and Marine Corps an extra $30 million.

Why should I care?These prices directly impact the Navy’s operational readiness and

combat capability. According to Mabus, resources that should bespent on training the warfighter are being spent on “instability sur-charges” caused by the fluctuating global fuel market.

“That means our military flies less, steams less, and trains less,”Mabus said. “If the bill gets too big, we buy fewer ships, we buyfewer aircraft,” which directly impacts our military effectiveness.“We’ve got to power those ships and we need a stably priced, Ameri-can-produced form of power.”

The Department of the Navy, in a joint effort with the DoD, is tak-ing action to reduce oil dependency by increasing the use of efficient,clean energy technologies, alternative and renewable energysources, and implementing energy conservation practices fleet-wide.

In marking the day, the Flower Petal Artevent assembles artists and volunteers intowns making a big-to-do of the occasion.Participants sketch religious themesalong with geometric designs in thestreets leading to the city center and

church. Subsequently, the designs are“painted” with the petals of carnations,broom, wild fennel and other blossomswhereas dark nuances are delineatedwith soil and coffee grounds. The overallresults are truly impressive, prismaticthree-dimensional works of art for every-one to behold.

(DDD) during self-counseling, or the PPSO will informthe member of the DDD on the shipment applicationduring counseling. Remember, in each case the DDD isonly an estimate and the “actual” RDD will be printedon the government bill of lading (BOL) for the shipment.If, during the pre-move survey, the service member andthe TSP or Local Agent negotiates a different DDD, thatnew date becomes the RDD.

The service member should inform PPSO of any datechanges or renegotiated RDD. The moving company willprovide the member with a copy of the final bill of lading(BOL), reflecting the correct RDD, either electronicallyor hardcopy, no later than the pickup date. If any infor-mation on the BOL is incorrect, notify the servicingPPSO.

Weight allowances are determined by the mem-ber’s grade in accordance with the Joint Travel Reg-ulation. Ultimately, members are responsible forkeeping personal property items within their weightallowances. To avoid possible excess costs, take thetime early in advance of the move date to estimateyour shipment weight. Dispose of personal thingsyou no longer use to reduce your potential excesscosts. Should you decide to keep all your householdgoods and possibly ship above your weight al-

lowance, you will be subject to pay any excess cost. Estimating your household goods is fairly easy. Start

with the net weights of all shipments from your lastmove. Normally your shipment documents from the pre-vious move will indicate the total weight shipped to yourcurrent duty station. Be sure to include all shipments atgovernment expense still in storage, locally or else-where, if applicable, as well as weights for any person-ally procured moves (formally DITY moves). Addweights for all household items you acquired duringyour current tour, such as furniture, hobby equipment,tools, books, collectables and electronics.

To conduct an estimate, use the “1,000-pounds-per-room” formula. Unfortunately, families often forget toinclude rooms such as storage sheds, large closets,yards, garages, carports, basements, and other hiddenareas. This is why it’s best to start your move estimateswith all weights from your last move, and then adjustfor what you recently acquired. Remember, an estimateis simply that your “best guess” estimate of what you in-tend to ship. Your estimate is not an official weight untilthe movers provide an official certified shipment weightto the PPSO and a Government Bill of Lading is cre-ated. If your weights are close to authorized maximumafter pack out, request an official reweigh through yourDPS account, servicing origin or destination PPSO.

Naples Area Events Celebrate Wine Traditions

Aglianico grapes were intro-duced to the area by theGreeks in Cumae (Cuma),the first Greek colony onthe mainland of Italy, nearPozzuoli. These grapes werethen later also grown by theRomans. The vineyards ofthe region also includewhite-wine varieties suchas Fiano and Greco, whichare used in wines such asFiano di Avellino and Grecodi Tufo. Falanghina andPiedirosso are also some ofthe more famous local winesnames to look for. LacrymaChristi Del Vesuvio, (liter-ally “tears of Christ”), is thename of a celebratedNeapolitan wine producedon the slopes of MountVesuvius and is consideredto be one of the closest tothe wine consumed by an-cient Romans.

It has been a few months since I tookover the reins of MWR’s CommunityRecreation Division and one thing stilleludes me: What’s the best way ofreaching each member of ourcommunity?Frequently, as I walk the

halls at Capo or the aisles atthe NEX or Commissary,or while enjoying myfavorite beverage atthe Bowling Center,people tell me, “I did-n’t know about this” or“I didn’t know aboutthat” or “This place isso boring, there isnever anything todo.” I must admit, at

being astonished whenI hear that, and I oftenrespond with, “What? Areyou kidding me?”Since January we have had the follow-

ing entertainers and events at our in-stallation: Maddie and Tae, BrettEldredge, The Frontmen, SeaGals,MessLords, Brian Miller, Craig Karges,

Touch the Sound, Easter Eggstrava-ganza and Take Back the Night. Plus,we’ve had numerous Ticket and TravelTours, Outdoor Recreation Tours andMWR events.So I am here this week to remind all of

you where to find the information:The Panorama, The MWR Face-

book page, The Volcano, or bycalling our various offices

around Capo and SS, orsimply by asking yourcolleagues and friends.For example, last Fri-

day night we held our sec-ond Cornhole Tournamentat Carney Park. Twenty-two teams entered and wecrowned a champion, and– best of all – it was com-

pletely free, and it wasamazing.So folks, the next time

you have an itch to saythere is nothing to do,

open the paper, click yourcomputer mouse, or chat

up a friend, because the events are on-going, fun and accessible; you just haveto look around. You’ll be glad you did.For details on all of our great events andprograms call DSN 629-7911.
