Earlier this week, I helda town hall meeting atSupport Site to discusscurrent issues with thecommunity. I alwaysappreciate the feedback Iam able to receive fromthese meetings, which arean opportunity for me tohear directly from you. Of course, the city ofGricignano’s new recyclingprogram remains an ongo-ing issue as we determinethe right number and typeof bins and learn the newsorting procedures. We're not quite there yet, and I haveasked the city for additional trash receptacles to be placedback in the collection areas, as it seems most are consistent-ly overfull. We are also looking at expanding the trash areasso more receptacles can be placed in each location. I appreci-ate the concerted effort that the entire Support Site commu-nity is putting forward to make sure we get this right. Thereis still a learning curve, and there will always be improve-ments we can make, but I am confident in the long-term suc-cess of this program.In addition to the trash and recycling expansion, we haveseveral other upgrades planned for on-base housing. We wereable to purchase new awnings with funding from last fiscalyear. These awnings will begin being installed soon at eachhousing unit, but it will take several months to complete.Many of the older playground areas will soon be given a face-lift as well, and there should be additional painting andmaintenance throughout the Support Site in the comingmonths. We are currently in a direct-assignment situationand under a budget crunch. That doesn't mean, however, thatwe're not constantly looking for areas we can improve, orways we can leverage the little money we do have to get thebiggest bang for the buck for residents. We have several MWR updates in the works as well, includ-ing for Reel Times Movie Theater at the Support Site. Thisfall, you should be able to purchase tickets online and printthem out at a self-service kiosk in the lobby. We are also look-ing at installing self-serve vending machines in the lobby, allaimed at faster lines into the theater. The library at Capo iscurrently being transformed into an internet cafe, with about5,000 books and plenty of comfortable seating in a relaxedatmosphere. We are even taking a look at turning a portionof the Capo gym into an unmanned, 24-hour fitness center,accessible with a swipe card for cardio and other solo-useequipment. The MWR is an area where we do have a littlefinancial flexibility. If you have a great idea about a programor improvement, share it. I said it Tuesday at the meeting, but I love living at theSupport Site. This is an awesome community with greatactivities and ways to get involved, either through organiza-tions or spending time at the pool, the bowling alley, or catch-ing a movie. I hope everyone will take some time this week-end to enjoy the wonderful options we have to offer.

Effective immediately, family, friends, and busi-nesses sending mail to Navy mobile units mustuse a nine-digit ZIP code to ensure delivery,according to an ALNAV message released July 12by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. Mail not addressed correctly, including mail
already en route, will be returned to the senderas undeliverable. "Every mobile unit - ships, squadrons, detach-
ments, et cetera - has a unique nine-digit ZIPcode," said Naval Supply Systems CommandPostal Policy Division Director Thomas Rittle."Commanding officers will provide the correctZIP codes to Sailors so they can notify their cor-respondents about the new address require-ment." According to the message, "The United States
Postal Service (USPS) is resizing military mailprocessing operations from two coastal locationsto one located in Chicago, Ill. to gain efficienciesin military mail delivery. As part of this effort,new procedures affecting configuration of mobileFleet Post Office (FPO) addresses have beenimplemented to completely leverage automatedmail sorting equipment and reduce manual sort-ing workload." USPS automated equipment is set up to read
the nine-digit ZIP code separated with a dashbetween the first five digits and the last fourdigits.
The nine-digit ZIP code is required for all class-es of mail. The ALNAV message is available at
http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/refer-ence/messages/Documents/ALNAVS/ALN2013/ALN13047.txt. ZIP codes are a system of postal codes used by
the United States Postal Service (USPS) since1963. The term ZIP is an acronym for ZoneImprovement Plan. All U.S. addresses have astandard five-digit ZIP code that informs thepostal service of the area of the country and thepost office where mail is received. In 1983, theUSPS added four digits to ZIP codes to help fur-ther pinpoint a recipient's location. The NAVSUP and Navy Supply Corps team
share one mission-to deliver sustained globallogistics and quality-of-life support to the Navyand joint warfighter. NAVSUP/Navy SupplyCorps' diverse team of more than 25,000 civilianand military personnel oversee a diverse portfolioincluding supply chain management for materialsupport to Navy, Marine Corps, joint and coali-tion partners, supply operations, conventionalordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transporta-tion, security assistance, and quality of life issuesfor our naval forces, including food service, postalservices, Navy Exchanges, and movement ofhousehold goods.

In addition to their phenome-nal athletic skills, they havedemonstrated determination,resiliency and heart throughouttheir military careers and personaljourneys towards recovery."
NWW - the Navy's support pro-gram for seriously wounded, ill andinjured Sailors and CoastGuardsmen - sponsors Team Navyat the annual Warrior Games inColorado Springs, Colo. All threeathletes are enrolled in the pro-gram and previously have compet-ed on behalf of Team Navy.Burdick, a combat-wounded vet-
eran, has been snowboarding formost of his life. He was first intro-duced to adaptive snowboardinglast year, when he began volunteer-ing for the National AbilityCenter's ski program in Park City,Utah. He competed in the NorAmNational Cup in January, where hetook ninth place. He followed thatachievement with a second-placefinish at the National Champion -ships in July.Burdick was wounded in
Afghanistan July 2010 when hisarmored vehicle struck a roadsidebomb, which resulted in seriousinjuries to both of his feet. Afterundergoing multiple limb-salvageefforts, Burdick resigned himself toa future as an amputee. In October2011, however, he was fitted withnew, cutting-edge braces - IntrepidDynamic Exoskeletal Orthoses -that redefined his abilities andallowed him to keep his limbs.

Navy WoundedWarriors Selected for Elite AthleticCompetitions
Becoming part of the Paralympicteam was the realization of a life-long dream."I used to swim when I was
younger, and I always hoped thatone day I might go to the Olympics,"said Burdick. "I'm so excited. It has-n't really even hit me yet. I wasn'tplanning for this at all, but snow-boarding is a sport I am really pas-sionate about."Hancock - an open water scuba
instructor who works with militaryveterans - also began seriouslytraining a year ago in seated shotput and discus. Hancock seized goldin both events at the WarriorGames in May and earned top hon-ors in both sports at the recentUniversity of Central OklahomaEndeavor Games.Hancock, who hails from Pueblo,
Colo., was injured while deployed in2009. He suffers from lower-bodyparalysis and uses a wheelchair.
Upon learning that he would com-pete at the World Championships,he began lifting weights six days aweek and throwing three days aweek, focusing on building strengthand improving his form."I'm pumped up and a little nerv-
ous [about the upcoming competi-tion]. This is my first time compet-ing against athletes from othercountries," said Hancock. "But I amgoing to turn that nervousness intopushing hard and training. Makingit to this level is a dream cometrue."After making his mark at the
World Championships, Hancockhopes to contend for a spot on the2016 U.S. Paralympic track andfield team. He works regularly withTeam Navy coach Kent Pagel toimprove his skills."From watching and analyzing
footage of my competitions, to fit-ting me with a new chair, Coach
Pagel is helping me every step ofthe way," he said.Rohn, a below-the-knee amputee,
was wounded in Iraq in 2009 whenhis Humvee was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade. A native ofLongmont, Colo., he is a three-timemember of Team Navy who hastaken home several Warrior Gamesmedals. Rohn will compete in dis-cus at the World Championships. NWW has a robust adaptive ath-
letics program, which has positiveand lasting effects on the physicaland emotional well-being of wound-ed warriors. These athletes typical-ly enjoy greater self-esteem, lowerstress levels and fewer secondarymedical conditions. To learn more about NWW -

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy,other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain aSojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different froma visa, which is merely an approval for entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's
signature is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COM-
ING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service
Office (RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees theacquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navycommands in the Naples area.

The number of positive results forsynthetic drug in urinalysis testshas decreased significantly sincetesting began in March 2012,according to data presented toNavy leaders by Navy Alcohol andDrug Prevention (NADAP) office.For the past year the NADAP
office has focused on educatingSailors on the risks to their health,career, and family, of using syn-thetic drugs like spice and bathsalts. "We consider this a win for all
Sailors," said Dorice Favorite,NADAP director, about thedecreased in positive results. "Itmeans they are listening to factsand making responsible choices forthemselves and their shipmates." "The reasons for the decline are
multi-dimensional," said Favorite."Sailors understand the Navy haszero tolerance for drug use, includ-ing the use of designer and syn-thetic chemical compounds. Oureducation efforts sent a clear mes-sage that synthetic drugs are notregulated; therefore, they may beup to 200 times more potent thanmarijuana and much more harm-ful."Educating Sailors on the danger
of illegal drug use is a multi-orga-nizational effort. "NADAP part-nered with Navy's Bureau ofMedicine and Surgery, NavalCriminal Investigative Service, andother U.S. military law enforce-ment agencies to monitor for crimi-nal activity, including possession,use, or distribution of illegal sub-stances," the director said.There is also encouraging news in
the responsible use of alcoholefforts. "During the past year, driv-ing under the influence and alco-hol-related incidents (AI) have con-tinued to drop. The number ofthese incidents is down by morethan 20 percent since 2006," saidFavorite. The NADAP office con-tributes to this improvementthrough a comprehensive commu-nication strategy that includescomplimentary prevention aware-

ness campaigns that reach out to allaudiences, she added. In April 2013, the Navy launched
"Keep What You've Earned" cam-paign to replace the outdated "RightSpirit" campaign. Keep What You'veEarned encourages responsible alco-hol use by celebrating the achieve-ments in the Sailor's Navy careersand actively engages Sailors asadvocates for responsible drinking.This campaign in concert with "TheDomino Strategy", "Who Will StandYour Watch" and "That Guy" speaksto Sailors about responsible drink-ing and accountability.In mid- 2013, the Navy imple-
mented the use of handheld alcoholdetection devices. More than 13,000devices were shipped to commands,both afloat and ashore. Thesedevices are intended as a tool that
complements the unit's campaignagainst irresponsible alcohol useand promotes Sailor safety, educa-tion and training. The ADD alsohelps leadership identify Sailorswho may require positive interven-tion before a career-ending inci-dent. NADAP plans to publish areport of lessons learned and bestpractices submitted by commandsin January 2014.NADAP has had a very busy year,
developing programs on syntheticdrug testing, alcohol detectiondevice distribution and implemen-tation, and prevention awarenesscampaigns for a prescription drugcampaign that is currently underdevelopment, Favorite stated. "Wefeel that every effort we expend onthe front end to prevent a Sailorfrom misusing or abusing a sub-
Last month we mentioned a Lightning electricSuperBike that defeated a Ducati at Pikes Peak. To con-tinue in the spirit of electric vehicles (EV) and theirprogress in racing, I present to you the B12/69 EV. TheB12/69 EV is a former Biofuel Le Mans Race Car builtby Drayson Racing Technologies of Oxfordshire,England. Last month it broke the record for the fastestEV land speed record. It set a speed of 204.2 mph com-pared to the previous 175mph set in 1974 by BatteryBox General Electric.
What makes the B12/69 EV special is the fact that itsdrive train is entirely electric and was fitted to an LeMas Proto Type (LMP) chassis. The kicker is that younow have a 200mph capable race car that makes 0 emis-sions! Why make such a big deal about it? About 90% ofthe things that makes your current car special weredeveloped in racing, such as fuel injection, anti-lock
brakes, and even power steering. Therefore, to see the same sort
of effort be invested into electricvehicles is amazing. The lessonslearned and technologies devel-oped very well may be the thingthat helps put the “cool” intobeing green. Drayson RacingTechnologies now plans to takewhat they have learned with theB12/69 EV and apply it to racing in 2014 during the FIAFormula E (Electric) Championship.
Since EV race cars don’t make any noise at all, thereis potential for some interesting race circuits wherethere may have been noise restrictions in the past withconventional race cars. Between the Lighting EV SuperBike and now Drayson Racing Technologies PrototypeLe Mas car, the future of EV transportation looks verypromising.
