operates with a combined crew of U.S. Navy Sailorsand Military Sealift Command civil servicemariners. The civil service mariners perform navi-gation, deck, engineering and supply service opera-

tions, while military personnel support communica-tions, weapons systems and security. It is one of onlytwo seaborne joint command platforms in the U.S.Navy, both of which are forward deployed.

Adm. Mark Ferguson, commander of U.S. NavalForces Europe-Africa, visited the U.S. 6th Fleet com-mand and control ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC20) in Gaeta, July 25, for the first time since takingcommand.

During an all-hands call with Sailors, Fergusonexpressed his appreciation and gratitude for all thehard work they do on a daily basis. He also said heplans to spend more time with the crew in the nearfuture.

"The missions that Mount Whitney conducts areimportant,” said Ferguson. “I am proud of each andevery one of you."

While onboard, Ferguson toured departmentspaces, had a brief lunch with the ship’s command-ing officer, Capt. Mark Colombo, and pinned twoSailors with their Enlisted Surface WarfareSpecialist pin.

“It really made me feel good to have a four staradmiral pin my Enlisted Surface Warfare qualifica-tion,” said Electronic Technician 3rd Class RachelStewart. “I will remember that moment for the restof my life. It definitely gives me another story to talkwith friends and family about.”

Ferguson recently relieved Adm. Bruce Clingan asCommander, Allied Joint Force Command, Naples/Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa.

Scorby presented Gray withthe Legion of Merit during theceremony for his achieve-ments.

“When I arrived back inJune of 2011, I quicklylearned the phrase “seeNaples and then die,” andfrankly I quoted it in mychange of command speechthen, but I have to admit toyou that I didn’t understandwhat it meant.” said Gray. “Iget it now. The very essence oflife is here in Naples. Thefood, the beauty, the rich cul-ture, the chaos, but mostimportantly the people; it hasbeen more than enough.”

During his three years, reno-vations took place in the bach-elor enlisted quarters, thefood court was overhauled,base playgrounds received afacelift, a liberty center wascreated at the Support Siteand an unmanned fitness cen-ter was opened atCapodichino. Sailors in Gaetaalso saw their Navy Exchangedouble in size.

“We have seen an improvedquality of life for our familiesand single Sailors,” said Gray.

Gray took time to thankthose under his command andgave a special acknowledge-ment to the Italian employeeswho help maintain the stabil-ity in Naples.

“Thanks to our dedicatedcivil servants and our localnational employees, whoserve as our continuity, keep-ing the base running whilethe military folks come andgo,” said Gray.

Scorby mentioned that sen-iority does not get you a com-mand, but sustained superiorperformance does.

I’m now in to my secondweek on the job and I amlearning daily about theissues that are important tothe NSA Naples community,especially our families. Foreveryone who would like toparticipate in the beautifica-tion of our bases or the area,there are plenty of opportuni-ties. The Second Class PettyOfficer’s Association conductsa monthly base cleanup,which has led to a visibleimprovement on Support Site,as well as Capodichino. Inaddition, the NOSC is planning a much needed beautificationproject at the front gate of the support site – thank you for yourinitiative! With your donations, the Religious Ministries team con-sistently makes deliveries to worthy organization through theFeds Feed Families program and also takes part in other commu-nity relations projects. The First Classes in our community wereout in force last week, holding Saturday’s Military FamilyWelcoming Carnival and upgrading the paint and interactivelearning tools at the elementary school. If you or your organiza-tion has a good idea or wants to do something to better our com-munity, let me know.

During recent town halls with single Sailors, it was suggestedwe have a shuttle bus to Carney Park on the weekends. Well,we’re giving it a go for the remainder of the summer. If you’re newto the area and you don’t have a car yet or just don’t want to worryabout driving, we now have a bus heading out from Capodichinoand Support Site on the weekends. It departs Capo at 10:15, hitsthe Support Site at 10:30 a.m., and then arrives at Carney Park.The bus then departs Carney Park at 6 p.m. and makes stopsagain at the Support Site and Capo. MWR has offered some spe-cial deals at Carney Park in conjunction with this new service andthis is a perfect opportunity to check out our unique recreationalfacility, which happens to sit in an extinct volcanic crater. We haverental cabins, a golf course, a pool, playgrounds, sports fields andhiking trails all available to you and your families.

As I’ve been touring our facilities, I’ve seen a lot of great things.I’m really pleased with the condition of our installation. I recent-ly visited our water treatment facility at Capodichino and got anin-depth brief on its capabilities. I was highly impressed by thecleanliness of the plant, which is a testament to the professional-ism and dedication of the operators. The Capo water plant pro-vides high-quality drinking water to the base, and that samehigh-quality drinking water is available for free to all servicemembers and their families. The dispensers are located by the gaspumps outside the east parking garage, all you have to do is bringone (or several) five-gallon jugs. The hospital’s PreventativeMedicine team checks the water at all of the NSA Naples basesseveral times per week, to make sure our water supply remainswithin quality standards.

We rolled out our current recycling program at the Support Sitea year ago. The color-coded recycling and waste bins were placedat each trash collection point with stickers describing what type ofitems go into each bin. From time to time we experience delays intrash pick-up. This issue is high on my priority list and I am meet-ing with the mayor of Gricignano to ensure the issue also remainshigh on his list of priorities. Community members are asked to dotheir part by not mixing the waste with recyclables and not throw-ing out large, bulky items. Instead, give the Housing trouble deska call and they’ll come to your apartment and pick it up. It’s easyand will help keep bulky items from staying in a trash collectionpoint for weeks.

We also have an upgrade project in the works to make some ofthe trash pick-up points larger by expanding each point’s concretepad and fence. This will allow for more of the recyclable and wastebins to be placed where they tend to fill up quicker. This shouldhelp keep the dumpsters from overflowing and help keep our baseclean.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people whotake the time to pick up a stray piece of trash and put it where itbelongs. There is always room for improvement, and I trust thateveryone in the NSA Naples community will be a partner in ourefforts.

We have come to the end of our BiggestLoser competition. Naval Support ActivityNaples was holding second place regionwide, but the final numbers are being gath-ered today. The most recent electrical read-ings showed we had reduced consumption by 10 percent. C4Iwas in the top spot for energy reduction in Naples with a 17percent reduction from last year’s readings. Unfortunately,some of our facilities saw an increase during the competition.The final readings for the Energy ‘Biggest Loser’ competitionwill be announced by the end of next week. Thank you toeveryone in Naples who did their part. Shutting down com-puter monitors, turning off lights and maintaining AC bound-aries definitely made a big dent in our energy reduction. We’llfind out next week which installation came away with the$50,000 prize money from Region.

Exams take place in Marchand September for Sailors aspir-ing to achieve the ranks of pettyofficer third class through pettyofficer first class. The chiefpetty officer exam occurs everyyear in January. The number of

Sailors who advance to the nextrank fluctuates every cycle; italso varies between the differ-ent rates.

"In preparation for your examand after determining eligibility,you should print out the mostcurrent bibliography from yourrate and read over it in its entire-ty," said Hospital Corpsman 1stClass Jerry R. Horton, an HMdetailer at Navy PersonnelCommand. "The bib tells youwhat you need to study."

for the exam by navigating tothe "Career Management" tabon Navy Knowledge Online(NKO) and clicking "NavyAdvancement Center. Each rat-ing's bibliographies can be foundthere and provide the list ofinformation required to studyfor the exam.

"Sailors need to ensure theyhave all required topics avail-able to study, develop a plan andstick to the bib," said Horton."Most importantly, designatetime to study each day."

Once Sailors know whatresources and study materialsare available to them, they canbegin using websites such asNavy Personnel Command(NPC) (www.npc.navy.mil), theNavy Advancement site (www.navyadvancement.com), theNavy-wide Advancement ExamPrep (www.navybmr.com) andGoogle to find the documents list-ed on the bibs. If all else fails,they can turn to lead or assistantlead petty officer for help.

The Naples military community has donatedmore than 100,000 pounds of food so far to thisyear's Feds Feed Families campaign.

The campaign began June 1 and will runthrough Aug. 27. Community members have beenbringing non-perishable food items to the SupportSite Chapel or Capodichino Chapel.

Another way to contribute is by visiting theSupport Site Commissary. The store has displaybags ready for purchase for $24.72 each. Each gro-cery bag can feed a family of three for three to fivedays. Customers have the option to pick-up thebag(s), pay the cashier and leave the bag to theCommissary attendant. Volunteers for Feds FeedFamilies pick-up the bags and deliver them toneedy families in the local community.

Since the campaign began in 2009, Federalworkers have donated and collected 24.1 millionpounds of food and other non-perishable items to

support families across America. Last year we col-lected nearly 9 million pounds of food.

"It is certainly exciting to see the tremendouswork of so many Sailors,

Marines, civilians and family members whohave made noble work out of the food drive," Kingsaid.

At the halfway point of this year's campaign inweek six, the Feds Feed Families website statedthe overall federal campaign stood at 525,000pounds donated.

Personnel wishing to donate can also make mon-etary donations to their local Chapel ReligiousOfferings Fund.

"When money is donated, the contributions go toa Chapel ROF where it is then given directly to alocal food pantry or food bank," said Cmdr. PhilKing, supervisory chaplain for Commander, NavyInstallations Command (CNIC), who overseesdonations. "For Feds Feed Families, $1.00 is cal-culated to buy approximately five pounds of food."

1. Sailors use the Career Intermission Programfor a variety of reasons, including to start afamily or take care of family members, com-plete educational goals, or to achieve person-al goals (such as hiking the AppalachianTrail or doing humanitarian aid work in aforeign country.)

2. Sailors receive many benefits during theirtime on the program to include retainingactive duty health and dental care for them-selves and their dependents, receiving amonthly stipend pay, and a permanent

change of station (PCS) to the location ofyour choice. Sailors are also eligible to usethe G.I. Bill while participating in the pro-gram.

3. Sailors can choose to leave active duty for upto three years. For each month a Sailor takesoff, two months are required to be servedupon return to active duty.

4. During the intermission, Sailors are requiredto muster monthly via email, are exemptfrom mobilization, are exempt from promo-tion consideration and time on intermissionis not counted for retirement eligibility.

“If you read Capt.Carpenter’s bio, it’s clear he’sbeen given some of the tough-est assignments and he’s per-formed brilliantly in all ofthem,” said Scorby. “That’swhy he has my full confidenceand that’s why I expect he willcontinue Naples’ outstandingrecord of excellence.”

Carpenter previously servedas the commanding officer ofSea Control Squadron (VS) 32and the operations officer forUSS Ronald Reagan (CVN76). His most recent tour wasat the Defense POW/MIAOffice in Washington D.C. asthe deputy director for Policyand Plans and chief ofAccounting Policy. His mis-sion there was to help recoverSailors, soldiers and Marineswho have not yet returnedhome from our nation’s previ-ous conflicts.

“I spent six of my teenageyears growing up in Europe,specifically on base in Rota,Spain,” said Carpenter. “I vis-ited Naples many times dur-ing my stay in Rota and also afew times on deployments tothe Mediterranean.

Naples CommunityHealth Awareness

The Naples Public HealthEvaluation (PHE) was an extensiveeffort to learn more about the poten-tial environmental health risks pres-ent in the Campania region of Italy.The Navy established health protec-tive policies based on the study’sfindings to protect the health of U.S.personnel and their families, whichincludes bottled water advisoriesand health protective lease clauses.

The PHE found the potentialhealth risks for living off-base can bemitigated by following established risk-management actions.

The enduring health protection policies are as follows: • Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. person-

nel living off base. • Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas, based

on U.S. Navy and Italian environmental sampling data. Inthese zones, U.S. Navy personnel are not permitted to sign newrental home leases.

• Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE websiteand the U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board.

• Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses for pri-vate off-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service from a

Navy-approved vendor. – Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permitted

wells. Landlords must disconnect all non-permitted wells andprovide proof of connection to the city water system or that thewell is permitted.

– Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holdingtanks every six months.

• The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designatedItalian public health officials.

Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy estab-lished health protective policies and took immediate action, whennecessary, to protect the health of U.S. personnel and their fami-lies. The risk management analysis determined that many of thehealth protective policies established during Phase I and Phase IIwill continue, as well as new policies implemented to ensure con-tinued health protection.

The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets addressingcommonly asked questions and a detailed timeline of study com-ponents, are available through a link on the Naval SupportActivity Naples website: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have aconcern about your specific health risk and how the study relatesto you, please contact the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples at DSN:629-6299 or commercial: 081-811-6299.

Improving theNavy’s OverseasScreening Process

For the past year, in allhands calls and on socialmedia, CNP and other lead-ers have heard concerns fromSailors, families and com-mands about our overseasscreening process. Individualissues ranged from inconsis-tencies between differenthomeports, to the timelineand the effect on Sailors’ abil-ity to plan a move.

COs and CMCs raised ques-tions regarding what wouldhappen when a Sailor or fam-ily didn’t screen; would thebillet be suppressed, did thecommand have to start allover, would there be a man-ning gap?

In direct response to thisfeedback we convened anoverseas screening workinggroup that included represen-tations from the fleet, DC,Millington, the medical worldand overseas commands.

I know, to those of us whohave served for many years,creating a working groupsounds bureaucratic and notlike something that wouldmake life easier, I am happy

to report that this is not thecase.

The working group’s missionwas to reduce manning gapscaused by overseas screeningfailures and most important-ly–reduce the stress onSailors and families.

The group recommendedtwo immediate initiatives,which CNP approved and willbe pushed via NAVADMIN inearly August.

To provide more lead time, aSailor who is identified for anoverseas billet will receive a“Letter of Intent” from NavyPersonnel Command, author-izing the Sailor to immediate-ly begin the overseas screen-ing process to include apply-ing for passports and visas.

We estimate this will givemost Sailors a 90-day headstart on overseas screeningcompared to current policy. Italso means that overseasscreenings will routinely becompleted before orders arereleased. Having more timeallows for more flexibility towork out unforeseen issuesand will greatly ease the bur-den on you and family.

To keep the process movingand to prevent delays, Sailors

must complete their overseasscreening within 30 days ofreceiving the letter and fami-lies must complete screen-ings within 60 days.

If Sailors don’t completetheir screenings within thatwindow, they will automati-cally be reassigned to aneeds-of-the-Navy billetINCONUS.

This may seem harsh, butsetting this tripwire increas-es accountability for both the

Sailor and the detachingcommand, and adds addition-al time to identify a suitablereplacement. The TYCOMand ISIC will be added to theoverseas screening notifica-tion process to furtherincrease visibility/account-ability for command leader-ship. However, knowing thatdelays are sometimesunavoidable, waiver requestswill certainly be consideredon a case by case basis.

I recognize that thesechanges don’t solve all of ourissues, but based on yourfeedback, I believe they pro-vide the needed time andaccountability that the cur-rent process lacks. Our per-sonnel team will continue towork with the Fleet andBUMED to further improvethe process. We will shareinformation as more changesare made–please continue toprovide feedback.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and 13 state attorneys gener-al obtained about $92 million in debt relief from Colfax Capital Corp. andCulver Capital LLC, also collectively known as "Rome Finance," for about17,000 U.S. service members and other consumers.

"No one who serves our country in uniform -- especially during a time ofwar -- should ever fall victim to predatory financial practices," DefenseSecretary Chuck Hagel said in a statement, "and today's announcement isan important step in righting this wrong."

Rome Finance lured consumers with the promise of no money down andinstant financing, officials said, and then masked expensive finance chargesby artificially inflating the disclosed price of the consumer goods being sold.

The company also withheld information on billing statements and illegal-ly collected on loans that were void. Rome Finance and two of its owners arepermanently banned from consumer lending.

"Rome Finance's business model was built on fleecing service members,"said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "Rome Finance lured service membersin with the promise of instant financing on expensive electronics, thenmasked the finance charges with inflated prices in marketing materials andlater withheld key information on monthly bills. Today, their long run ofpicking the pockets of our military has come to an ignominious end."

Colfax, formerly known as Rome Finance Co. Inc., is a California consumerlending company, and Culver is its wholly owned subsidiary, formerly knownas Rome Finance LLC. The companies offered credit to consumers purchas-ing computers, video game consoles, televisions or other products. Theseproducts were typically sold at mall kiosks near military bases, officials said,with the promise of instant financing with no money down.

In some cases, they added, Rome Finance was the initial creditor, and inother cases, Rome Finance provided indirect financing by agreeing to buythe financing contracts from merchants who sold the goods.

Service members and other consumers would fill out a credit application atthe kiosk and, if approved, sign financing agreements that did not accurate-ly disclose the amounts they would have to pay for that financing. These con-tracts generated millions for Rome Finance while weighing down consumerswith expensive debt.

Rome Finance has been the subject of previous state and federal enforce-ment actions, and Colfax is currently in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The CFPBand state attorneys general uncovered substantial evidence that RomeFinance's lending scheme violated several laws and that these illegal prac-tices harmed about 17,000 consumers, officials said. In its consent order,CFPB found that Rome Finance:– Hid finance charges when marketing products: Rome Finance and mer-

chants it worked with masked expensive finance charges by artificiallyinflating the disclosed price of the consumer goods being sold. As a result,they provided consumers with disclosures that had inaccurately lowfinance charges and annual percentage rates. Consumers received disclo-sures, for example, indicating the APR was 16 percent, when in fact theAPR was 100 percent or more. That inaccurate information prevented con-sumers from making an informed decision about whether to take out cred-it.

– Withheld required financial information from billing statements: Billingstatements that Rome Finance sent to consumers failed to include certaindisclosures required by law, such as the annual percentage rate, the bal-ance that was subject to that interest rate, how that balance was deter-mined, the closing date of the billing cycle, and the account balance on theclosing date.

– Deceptively, unfairly, and abusively collected debt that was not owed:Rome Finance was not licensed to provide consumer lending in any stateand charged annual percentage rates higher than some states allowed,which voided or limited the collectable debt in some states under statelending law. Rome Finance deceived consumers in these states by failingto inform them that some or all of their debt was void or otherwise did nothave to be repaid. As a result, many consumers were misled into thinkingthat they had to repay the entire loan balance and were making those pay-ments when they did not have to.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act givesthe CFPB authority to take action against institutions or individuals engag-ing in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices. The Truth in LendingAct also authorizes the CFPB to take action against creditors who do notaccurately disclose the cost of credit and other credit terms to consumers. Toaddress these violations, the CFPB's consent order requires Rome Financeto:– Provide about $92 million in debt relief: All efforts to collect on any of the

outstanding Rome Finance financing agreements must cease. RomeFinance still has about $60 million in contracts owed by about 12,000 con-sumers that it will no longer seek to collect. Separately, a liquidating trustcreated as part of Colfax's bankruptcy plan will stop collections on about$32 million owed by more than 5,000 consumers for Rome Finance'sfinancing agreements. Service members may keep the merchandise theypurchased.

– Update credit reporting agencies and notify service members and otherconsumers of debt status: The Colfax Trustee must update the creditreporting agencies so that affected consumers are listed as having paidtheir debt. The Colfax Trustee must also notify all affected consumers thattheir debt will no longer be collected.

– Rome Finance and their owners must cease consumer lending: RomeFinance and two of their owners, Ronald Wilson and William Collins, arepermanently banned from conducting any business in the field of con-sumer lending.

– Pay redress for hidden finance charges: Rome Finance was ordered to payredress to compensate affected consumers for the amount of excess financecharges they paid. When Colfax's Trustee has complied with certain pro-visions of the consent order, the requirement to pay redress will be sus-pended, because Rome Finance has no ability to pay such redress.

– Pay civil money penalty: For its inaccurate disclosures and its unfair,deceptive and abusive practices, Colfax, through its bankruptcy trustee,will make a $1 penalty payment to the CFPB's Civil Penalty d. The bureauis not assessing a larger penalty because Colfax is bankrupt. With Colfaxmaking a payment to the Civil Penalty Fund, Rome Finance's victims maybe eligible for relief from the Civil Penalty Fund in the future, althoughthat determination has not yet been made, officials said.

– Cooperate with service members and other consumers who seek to vacatejudgments: The Colfax Trustee is required until the Colfax bankruptcycase is closed to cooperate in executing any documents presented to him tovacate or satisfy any judgments against consumers relating to the financ-ing agreements.
