CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

own Hall with Admiral Foggo! A Town Hall will take place on Wednesday, September 18, at 6 p.m. at the Support Site Base Theater. I want to encourage everyone to come out. Adm. Foggo will be there to discuss the Navy’s new leaderships’ visions and thoughts, the EUCOM and AFRICOM theaters, and PPV, HVAC, and water quality for our area. We’ve been putting out notifications on our Facebook page and in our PAO notes, and hopefully by now everyone knows how you can participate. If you can’t physically be at the Support Site movie theater at 6 p.m., don’t worry! We’ll be live streaming via AFN Naples Facebook page and the radio, and taking your questions live on the AFN Naples Facebook page. Please also feel free to send any questions you may have to the NSA Naples Facebook page messenger with the hashtag #TownHallQuestion before the event. This Town Hall is a great opportunity not just to hear what we have to say, but also to ask me, my team, and some of our tenant command leadership questions about topics that affect you and your families. We’ll have representatives from each department at NSA Naples, as well as our local DoDEA school principals, Navy Exchange and Commissary management, and U.S. Naval Hospital Naples leadership. Whether you’re front row in the movie theater, at home on the computer, or even out of town on your mobile device, you have the ability to ask our experts important questions. So don’t miss out! The COLA survey is here! The Overseas Cost of Living Allowance is intended to equalize purchasing power so that Service members can purchase the same level of goods and services overseas as they could if they were stationed in the U.S. It is calculated by comparing the prices of goods and services overseas with average prices for equivalent goods and services in the U.S. The result of this comparison is an index that reflects a cost of living. The Living Pattern Survey (LPS) is available online through September 30, 2019, at the following link: https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/colaSurvey.cfm?ID=italy. The Living Pattern Survey is required once every three years to determine where service members shop and how they allocate their purchases between local markets, U.S. Government, and online shopping facilities. Participation in the survey is limited to service members who have been at the duty station for three months or longer. The survey is fully automated and can be completed on any personal computer. The estimated time to complete is 40-50 minutes. It’s your money at stake. My radio show is back on the air this coming Monday, September 16, at 7 a.m. on 107 FM and on the internet through the AFN 360 app for AFN Naples. I’ll be discussing emergency preparedness, the upcoming Town Hall, and will have special guest stars from the DoDEA schools to put out important information. Our base also has a second radio show that is hosted by our very own NSA Naples Command Master Chief (CMC) Andrew Hochgraver, who covers weekly points of interest targeting our local military community on Friday mornings at 7 a.m. Another way to stay informed is through our PAO Notes, which are emailed out to a by-request distribution list on Wednesdays. To be added to the list, please email PAO_Naples@eu.navy.mil with your request. Additionally, Adm. Foggo has a monthly podcast called “On The Horizon: Navigating the European and African Theaters.” In each episode, Adm. Foggo discusses what the U.S. Navy is doing throughout Europe and Africa. The podcast is in its first season with eight episodes published, and is available on iTunes, Spreaker, Spotify, Stitcher, and SoundCloud. For more information, go to www.c6f.navy.mil. Maintaining readiness through information is an all-hands effort, so stay tuned-in! As always, thanks for reading the Panorama! For more information about NSA Naples, please follow us on:

The priest who has been nicknamed “Don Bancomat” (Father ATM) by his parishioners, said the ATM machine is an experiment. Venice Mayor Seeks Outdoor Smoking Ban The city of Venice has some restrictions to tourists visiting the World Heritage Site. Jumping in canals and parading around shirtless are already prohibited, but now the city’s mayor wants to introduce a ban on smoking outdoors. He was very impressed by seeing outdoor no smoking areas while

he was visiting Tokyo, and said he wants to introduce the same regulations. The smoking ban would initially be applied to the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square. Another idea the mayor has suggested is giving out portable cigarette butt containers, to enable smokers to get rid of their butts without littering the alleyways and piazzas of Venice. Italy Joining with United Kingdom to Build European Multi-Role Fighter Plane The Italian Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini announced on Tuesday that Italy officially joined the British Tempest program to build a sixth-generation European multi-role fighter plane.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming; And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

He cared very much about the outcome. The bombardment had lasted for more than 24 hours. At dawn, Key strained to see through the morning mist. What he saw was a huge American flag flying over the fort. Joyfully, Key reported to the prisoners below deck that Fort McHenry had survived the attack. Overcome by “joyful triumph” Key began to jot words down on a piece of paper: “O say can you see . . . .” With Fort McHenry standing strong, the British Navy sailed away, to the cheers of the defenders. For many Americans, the War of 1812 had become a “Second War of Independence.” More than a century after its first publication, the song was adopted as the American national anthem, first by an executive order from President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and then by a Congressional resolution in 1931, signed by President Herbert Hoover.

After touring the stadium and facilities, the group sat down to discuss possible future development of beneficial cultural exchanges between U.S. military members stationed in Naples and the local community. These opportunities could include MWR events and commercial sponsorships featuring the franchise, or organized group outings to SSC Napoli games. “I think that generally the relationship between the Neapolitans and the American people residing in Naples has always been excellent,” Formisano said. “I’m happy if SSC Napoli will be able to strengthen this tradition through the relationship with NSA Naples.” Though this was only an exploratory initial meeting, the prospects for a long-lasting beneficial partnership between NSA Naples and SSC Napoli are good. This partnership would allow MWR patrons to experience a very special facet of Italian and Neapolitan culture while strengthening military ties with the community.

How to Prepare for and Survive Earthquake and Volcanic Events

There have recently been a number of devastating earthquakes in central Italy, which have caused significant damage and loss of life. We also have two area volcanoes Mount Vesuvius (pictured above) and Campi Flegrei. Being stationed here you should understand and accept the potential for emergency situations and be prepared for both earthquakes and volcanic events. Photo by Gary Nichols By NSA Naples Emergency Management Office

Napoli, the Campania Region and Italy offer many opportunities to each of us that others can only dream of. While we make the most of the experience, we need to understand and accept the potential for emergency situations such as earthquakes here. There have been a number of devastating earthquakes that struck central Italy over the last several months, with the most recent being in January 2017 with a magnitude well over five with strong aftershocks, felt throughout Central Italy. These earthquakes have caused significant damage and loss of life. These tragedies serve as a vivid reminder of both the threat and impact of natural disasters here. For the past few years NSA Naples has conducted earthquake and personnel accountability drills, and we will continue to do so. In addition to the threat of earthquakes in our area, we also have two volcanic features in our neighborhood – Mount Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei. While there is no indication that either is showing signs of significant activity, we need to acknowledge their presence and prepare for the possibility of an eruption as well. Historically, volcanic activity has been preceded by significant seismic events. The following is provided to assist you and your family in preparing for all potential disasters, but specifically getting through earthquakes and volcanic events: How To Prepare Be and stay informed ● AFN Radio (107 FM), TV (AFN, TV Channel 48), AFN 360 Internet Radio (http://www.afneurope.net/Stations/Naples/) and AFN 360 Radio Smartphone Application. ● Register in CDNS/ADHOC (email, phone & text message notification). ● Through your assigned Command/Organization. ● NSA Naples and NSA Naples Emergency Management Facebook.

Make a Family Emergency Plan ● Where you and your family will go in the event of an earthquake, or any disaster. ● Where your children will go, or where you will meet them. ● Requirements for family members with special needs. ● Pet’s needs. ● Safely shutting-off utilities. ● Family Communications Plan in case family members are separated during an earthquake. ● Non-Combatant Evacuation – What do you need to take with you. ● Know your Organization’s expectations of you in the event of an emergency, this will likely impact your personal & family emergency planning. ● Practice earthquake drills as a family so everyone knows what to do, especially “Drop, Cover, and Hold!” ● Build an emergency kit that can sustain you and your family for up to 14 days □ Non-perishable food items. □ Required consumables. □ Medications. □ Battery powered radio. □ Flashlight. □ First Aid Kit. □ Don’t forget your Pet’s requirements. What to do if there is an earthquake When indoors ● Stay where you are until the shaking stops. Do not run outside. Do not stand in a doorway as it does not provide protection from falling or flying objects and you may not be able to remain standing. ● Drop to the ground onto your hands and knees so the earthquake doesn’t knock you down. ● Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect yourself from falling debris. ● If you are in danger from falling objects, and you can move safely, crawl for additional cover under a sturdy desk or table.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Everyone Uses Energy From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

The United States is a highly developed and industrialized society. Americans use a lot of energy in homes, in businesses, and in industry. Americans also use energy for personal travel and for transporting goods. There are five energy consuming sectors: ● The industrial sector includes facilities and equipment used for manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction. ● The transportation sector includes vehicles that transport people or goods, such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, aircraft, boats, barges, and ships. ● The residential sector includes homes and apartments. ● The commercial sector includes offices, malls, stores, schools, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, restaurants, and places of worship and public assembly. ● The electric power sector consumes primary energy to generate most of the electricity the other four sectors consume. People use energy for transportation, cooking, heating and cooling rooms, manufacturing, lighting, entertainment, and many other uses. The choices people make about how they use energy – turning machines off when they’re not using them or choosing to buy fuel-efficient vehicles and energy-efficient appliances – affects the environment and people’s lives. Efficiency and conservation are different but related. The terms energy efficiency and energy conservation have distinct meanings: Energy efficiency is using technology that requires less energy to perform the same function. Using a light-emitting diode (LED) light bulb or a compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb that requires less energy than an incandescent light bulb to produce the same amount of light is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation is any behavior that results in the use of less energy. Turning the lights off when leaving the room and recycling aluminum cans are both ways of conserving energy. Remember: You can use as much energy as you need just don’t waste it. For more tips on Energy Conservation call Gennaro Gargiulo or Electrician 2nd Class Marvin J. Hernandez at DSN 626-1895 or Comm. 081-568-1865.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

Page 1

Despite being severely injured by a mortar round, Capodanno continued attending to the wounded and dying, administering first aid and the sacrament of last rites and encouraging other Marines during the battle. While attempting to rescue a wounded corpsman, Capodanno was killed and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. “His sacrifice is not forgotten, neither by the Department of the Navy nor by his family. We commemorate his exemplary actions today, which bring together, Gaeta, the city in which he had family ties, and the U.S. Navy,” Capt. Cassidy Norman, commanding officer of the Mount Whitney, said. “Along with many other Italian-Americans, his courage and his service have reinforced the strong bonds between the United States and Italy.” “Father Capodanno routinely traveled, unarmed, to the most intense battlefields. He never spoke of political or military opinions – he offered mass and simply spread the word of God to those who otherwise would have no churches or clergy in their lives on the battlefield. Since he was on the front lines of battle with the Marine infantry, he was affectionately called the ‘Grunt Padre’” Norman said. “Those who served with him called him a saint, an angel, a hero, and ‘the finest Chaplain I ever knew.’ We are honored to commemorate such an inspiring man, the ‘Grunt Padre,’ whose last known words were “God is with us all this day.” The Mayor of Gaeta, Cosmo Mitrano, also delivered remarks honoring Lt. Capodanno and his ties to the local community. “Vincent Capodanno led an amazing life, which began with his service to the Catholic Church and continued with his service to his country,” Mitrano said. “He is a true Italian-American hero and an honorary Gaetano, and we are so proud to be celebrating this day with the Mount Whitney.” Roberto Mari, aide to the Gaeta mayor, noted that the marriage of Vincenzo Capodanno from Gaeta to the Sorrentine (from Sorrento, 30 miles south of Naples) Rachel Basile brought together the language and liveliness of two Italian sea-faring cultures, preserving a common heritage and keeping

the young couple in the secure embrace of the Italian family. “The last and ninth child of the profoundly catholic couple, Vincent Jr. learned from them to be selfless since he was a child, thus becoming a youngster dedicated to helping and serving people in need,” Mari said. “Vincent Jr. was a priest, a missionary and a Navy Lieutenant who was killed while serving God and his Country.” The Archbishop of Gaeta, Monsignor Luigi Vari, who earlier in the day celebrated a catholic mass in conjunction with Navy chaplains and local priests in memory of Capodanno onboard the Mount Whitney in the ship’s Capodanno chapel, offered the opening prayer and spoke of his intention to place Father Capodanno’s lithograph in his private chapel. “It was a day of memory, centered on the figure of Father Capodanno, chaplain of the Marines and a contemporary hero, who lost his life to be close to his soldiers,” Archbishop Vari said. Chaplains from the region, members of the Capodanno family in Italy, local Italian veterans associations, and other community groups were also in attendance. Cmdr. Michael Hall, the chaplain for U.S. Naval Hospital Naples spoke of his tour with the U.S. Coast Guard, where he served as the pastor of the Capodanno Chapel at Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island. He said members of the Capodanno family were active members of there and in the Catholic community in Staten Island, New York, where Lt. Capodanno grew up and is buried. U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Allen Hancock, who is stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Rome and who attended the ceremony with his fellow Marines said he felt privileged to be there for the memorial. “It is an honor to attend the memorial ceremony for Chaplain Vincent Capodanno, and as Marines we strive for excellence on an off the battlefield and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to remember someone who gave his all to help his Marines,” Hancock said. Mount Whitney, forward deployed to Gaeta operates with a combined crew of U.S. Sailors and Military Sealift Command civil service mariners in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe and Africa.

13 Common Superstitions From NSA Public Affairs

1. Find a penny, pick it up – all day long you’ll have good luck is an old saying, however most people would argue that finding “free” money, even a penny is a lucky find. 2. Black cats – though typically sleek and beautiful – are thought to bring bad luck, especially if one crosses your path. 3. Broken Mirror – is thought to bring you seven years of bad luck. 4. Walking Under a Ladder – for safety sake you shouldn’t walk under a ladder (since something could fall on your head, or you could knock someone off the ladder), but according to ancient superstitions, it’s bad for your soul to violate the “triangle,” which is supposed to be a symbol of life. 5. Throwing Salt Over Your Shoulder – especially your left shoulder – is thought to help safeguard you from bad luck. If the devil was standing behind you salt would get in his eye and distract him from hurting you. 6. Opening an Umbrella Inside – is thought to bring you bad luck, as if it were raining inside when you open the umbrella. 7. Saying Bless You When Someone Sneezes – traces its origins to the bubonic plague or “black death” in Europe during the Middle Ages, and was thought to protect the person who was sneezing

in hopes they would not soon die. 8. Lucky Rabbit’s Foot – is an ancient symbol of good luck and fertility dating back to the sixth or seventh century B.C., however it not so lucky for the poor rabbit. 9. Knocking on wood – began with the Druids who lived some 2,000 years ago and believed ancient spirits lived in trees, and that knocking on a tree or “wood” was a way of asking the good spirits to come to you in times of need. 10. Crossing Your Fingers – for good luck has been around for centuries, and its origins are unknown. However, it’s generally thought of as being a simple way of warding off witches, evil spirits, and other bad luck. 11. Horseshoes – are another good luck charm whose origins are steeped in ancient history. However, most people agree that for the horseshoe to bring good luck, it must be upturned in the shape of a capital “U” and hanging over a door to help keep bad spirits away. 12. Four Leaf Clovers – are usually thought to be Irish in origin, and somewhat rare to find in nature. When they are found, they are thought to bring good luck. 13. The Number 13 – is widely thought to be unlucky, which makes it one of the most common superstitions. In fact, many buildings, if they are more than 12 stories high, will not list a 13th floor.
