may 26, 2916 the coastline

The quiet Spanish countryside jolt ingly awakens as a dozen screaming fighter jets and four fully loaded tankers accelerate down the runway then leap into the rising sun’s glare. One right after the other, their energy provides a stark contrast to the sleepy olive orchards surrounding the base. This quaint landscape doesn’t prepare an unsuspecting onlooker to admire the raw power of America’s military, but it is impossible not to appreciate the coordinated effort of 16 eager aircraft launching in sequence.

The scene occurred like clockwork at sunrise 12 times throughout the past few weeks at Morón Air Base, Spain during the semi-annual deployment. Each of these launches required a detailed, logistical maintenance and operational effort to ensure that the fighter jets arriving from the U.S. were in pristine mechanical condition for their next trans-continental flight and their escorting tanker aircraft were equally reliable and packed with 360,000 pounds of fuel to ferry the aircraft to their next base in the Middle East.

This plan started months ago when the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) analyzed emerging threats in their area of operations and determined they would employ a mix of F-22, F-15, F-16, A-10 and F/A-18 aircraft in their next deployment rotation to execute Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. U.S. Transportation Command then tasked Air Mobility Command (AMC) to design the plan to move the aircraft into the Middle East from their stateside bases. The fighters would take

off from their home station, rendezvous with an AMC tanker while crossing the Atlantic, then land at Morón Air Base, Spain where the pilots would recuperate after the long flight and maintainers would prepare the aircraft for their next leg. After two days, the mission continued with the fighters and tankers flying as a package to their destination at various bases in the Middle East.

In theory this sounds simple enough, until you add in variations for stormy weather, broken aircraft

and the need for prepositioning of fighter and tanker maintenance personnel and equipment to Morón Air Base prior to the arrival of their aircraft. It’s a huge challenge that takes coordination across four major commands: AMC, Air Combat Command, CENTCOM and United States Air Forces in Europe.

101 Critical Days of Summer; Be Prepared, Be SafeSummer--a time for fun, relaxation and safety hazards. Yes,

the 101 Critical Days of Summer are now upon us.According to the Naval Safety Center, the 101 Critical Days

of Summer is the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day. During this time, service members and civilians are participating in activities that could potentially be dangerous if safety precautions are not taken. The Department of Defense (DoD) looks to curb the risk of injury by educating people on those risks and how to avoid them with the 101 Critical Days of Summer program.

“It is critical because the statistics say the rate of mishaps and fatalities for service members in the forces increase. There are two times of year these rates increase. One time is the summer and the other time is the winter holidays,” said Jelisa Vazquez, one of Rota’s Safety Specialists.

Last summer, Navy- and Marine Corps-wide, 14 Sailors and 12 Marines lost their lives in traffic and off-duty mishaps during the “critical” period of Memorial Day to Labor Day. Eighteen of these fatalities were fatal traffic mishaps, while the other service

CAPTAIN'SCORNER

Capt. Greg S. PekariCOMNAVACT Spain

Hola, Team Rota!Today is a very exc i t ing day!

Advancement results will be released and I’d like to be the first to congratulate our new Petty Officers! Petty Officer Selectee Leadership Course (POSLC) will begin on Tuesday, May 31 for all the selectees. PO1SLC will be May 31 to June 1 at Fleet and Family Support Center. PO2SLC will be May 31 to June 2 at Bldg. 55 and POSLC will be May 31 to June 12 at U.S. Naval Hospital Rota. The best part, the frocking, will be held on June 3 at 10 a.m. in the Base Chapel. Schedules and an email with additional information will be sent out as well. Thank you to all those who have volunteered to instruct. You are vital to mentoring and guiding our newest Petty Officers.

Memorial Day weekend has arrived and we are fortunate to have time off to spend with our family and friends. I hope

that you are taking advantage of the long weekend by doing some traveling, enjoying the beach, or getting together with friends for a BBQ. As you enjoy this time, I ask that you take a moment to remember the meaning of Memorial Day and why we observe this holiday. Memorial Day is a time for us to honor those who have died while serving our country. It originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. It eventually changed to Memorial Day and became more common after WWII. The holiday was enacted into federal law in 1971. I would imagine that most of us know someone personally who has given the ultimate sacrifice while serving, so take a moment to honor and remember them. Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!

Shifting topics… An incident occurred which raised safety and security concerns at one of our on-base homes several weeks ago. This was the first time something of this nature occurred on-base in quite a while. It was a very unnerving experience for many which resulted in an increase in patrols by our security team in the housing area - especially around the hours of darkness - to provide a deterrent to any future incidences. Rota's base leadership was informed about the incident not long after and NCIS has put information out on AFN about vigilance and reporting suspicious behavior. However, due to the sensitivities of a still ongoing

investigation, we are unable to discuss details about the incident. Even though the environment is generally safe both out in town and on base, I want to stress to our community to always remain vigilant. Please remind our folks that if they "see something" they should "say something.” Whether you live on-base or off, I want to remind everyone to get in the good habit of locking doors of both houses and car. Our law enforcement team will work hard to ensure this doesn't happen again. Let's continue to look out for one another! Security is the top priority of the Housing Department and they are standing by to assist. If you need your locks replaced or repaired, please call 727-HELP (4357).

Thank you for all your continued support making NAVSTA Rota the incredible place that it is – ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT!

members died during recreational activities including falls, drowning and recreational vehicle wrecks. However, there was a six percent decrease from the overall five-year average but, unfortunately, total traffic and off-duty fatalities increased by 24 percent from the previous year, according to the Naval Safety Center.

To avoid traffic mishaps, the Naval Safety Center recommends starting every trip well-rested, driving during daylight hours, taking a break every two hours on long drives, pulling over if you get tired and never drinking and driving.

As a way to avoid mishaps and injuries during the summer.Vasquez recommends using operational risk management (ORM) by asking yourself these three questions; what can go wrong? What can I do about it? If I can’t do anything about it, who do I tell?

“The ORM process is a tool we recommend to be use on and off duty, ” said Vasquez. “The benefit of ORM is to assess the risks involved in an activity. With ORM you are prepare and aware prior doing it, therefore the possibility of accidents can be reduced.”

It is also recommended that people utilize Travel Risk Planning System (TRiPS) when planning road trips. It’s an online risk assessment that helps travelers recognize and reduce travel risks. Once you complete the assessment, it gives you the option of downloading a PDF of your risk assessment.

Another area of concern during the summer months involves bicycle safety. DoD regulations already require bicyclists to wear approved helmets, but on Naval Station Rota, cyclists must also wear reflective gear at all times while riding. The use of reflective gear ensures that cyclists are visible to motorists regardless of time of day.

Be sure to learn the rules of the road and obey local traffic laws.

In Southern Spain, beach and water safety is of concern as well, specifically rip currents. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that can move up to speeds of eight feet per second. Should you find yourself caught in a rip current, you should not fight the current but rather swim across it in the direction of the shoreline. Once you have exited the current, continue to swim parallel to shore. Regardless of whether rip currents are present or not, you should always make sure that you are never swimming alone.

The 101 Critical Days of Summer is also a time when families spend longer periods of time outside, especially with the longer hours of sunlight. Make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen and to limit sun exposure as much as possible by spending time in the shade. Sunscreen with at least 15 SPF or greater that protects against both UVA and UVB rays is recommended and should be reapplied every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

It is also important to stay well hydrated to avoid dehydration and heat stroke in hot weather. Stay updated on local weather forecasts so you can plan activities safely when it’s hot outside.

While the risk of injury can never be completely eliminated, there are many steps you can take to make sure you stay safe while enjoying the summer weather.

“Enjoy yourselves as you have earned it. However, make safety paramount! Have a plan regardless of whether you are traveling or just going out for the evening,” encourages Capt.Greg Pekari, commanding officer, Naval Station Rota.

continued from page 1101 CRITICAL DAYS Weekly Energy Saving Tips:

Pool Season1) If you heat an outdoor swimming pool, consider lowering the

thermostat on your pool’s heater. Every one degree Fahrenheit reduction can cut your energy usage by five to 10 percent.

2) Try to keep the heat from escaping by using a swimming pool cover when not in use. Almost all of a pool’s heat loss—about 95 percent—occurs at the surface through evaporation, convection, conduction and radiation from the sky. A pool cover substantially reduces this loss of heat. A cover also helps keep the pool clean and extends the life of the chemicals in your pool. With a transparent plastic cover, you may gain heat as the sun’s rays pass through the cover and heat the water.

3) Consider reducing the amount of time you run the circulation pump. Most people who reduced pumping time to less than three hours per day were still happy with the water’s quality. On average, this saved up to 60 percent of the electricity used for pumping.

4) Swimming pool owners can save energy by using smaller or higher efficiency pumps. When a pump wears out or can’t be repaired, install a high efficiency unit that is not oversized for its needs. A 0.75 horsepower or smaller pump is generally sufficient for residential pools. Smaller pumps, which cost less, can be used if you decrease the pool circulation system’s hydraulic resistance. This can be done by one or more of the following: substituting a large filter (rated at least 50 percent higher than the pool’s design flow rate), increasing the diameter or decreasing the length of the pipes, or replacing abrupt 90-degree elbows with 45-degree elbows or flexible pipe. These types of changes can slash up to 40 percent of the pump’s use of electricity.

Mobility Squadron, Detachment 1 at Morón Air Base specializes in orchestrating these operations. Capt. Alan Foote, commander, Detachment 1, leads an augmentation force of 20 logistics personnel who provide expert support to all the incoming aircraft, personnel and equipment as well as 39 maintenance personnel who keep the aircraft functioning. Master Sgt. John Guentner, superintendent, Detachment 1, flows information between all involved agencies and coordinates requirements with the 496th Air Base Squadron who provides fuel, aircraft servicing, transportation, billeting, dining, flight planning and communications support to all the transiting teams.

During the five-week operation, Team Morón generated 66 AMC sorties that delivered 2.7 million pounds of fuel to 96 fighter jets during in-flight refueling operations. The 519 deployed AMC personnel who flew, maintained and supported the KC-10, KC-135, C-17 and C-5 aircraft all played a critical role in making this herculean movement successful.

Did you ever find yourself in a place where someone was hurting deeply from some tragic news and you just didn’t know what to say or do? Your heart accelerating. Your mind racing, searching for words and meaning. Sweat forming on your brow. Eye contact fading to the ground.

Maybe that’s why Job’s comforters fell silent.

Job was a man in an ancient story who lost most everything as tragedy struck down his sons and daughters, his flocks, his livelihood and even his body with boils and sores. He sat in ashes for days (a sign of deep mourning in ancient times). His friends came to aid him and sat in silence with him for seven days before the first words were exchanged.

When our biological families are far away and we face tragedy, our military family must step in. And we do. What’s more, we do it well. We know that we must be there for one another because when we move every couple of years all around the globe and far from home, we only have one another present and we have to watch each other’s backs.

But yet supporting, grieving and lamenting with someone who is facing an enormous life tragedy and an all-

consuming pain and suffering can sometimes be an uncomfortable process.

Many of us are eager in spirit and ready in heart, but often not quite sure where to go from there. We are great at supporting by running errands, making meal schedules to take the load off and taking care of all sorts of logistics - things we can do. But when it comes to the emotional support, I often get the look: “Chaps, you got this, right?!”

Truth is - we’re all needed in this fight against the brokenness in this world. Here are a few tips that may help you come alongside in the battle to restore goodness, love, beauty, healing and reconciliation to the world.

Honor it with SilencePain and suffering live in a different

realm than word or logic. We feel pain. We don’t think it. Yet we gravitate toward limiting our interactions to the world of words. And often times, our need to fill any empty space with spoken language is more about us than them.

We feel awkward because of the silence. Words reduce the tension.

We don’t know what to say so we blurt out whatever comes to mind, about anything.

It’s uncomfortable to enter their pain and truly empathize. Words can erect barriers.

We want to help and try to solve things.

Facing their pain means reflecting on our own.

Job’s friends sat with him for seven whole days in complete silence.

Seven is a number in ancient Hebrew culture that represented completeness, fulfillment.

So, Job’s friends sat with him in silence until his time was right.

Who decides when? The sufferer.Silence is okay. Give them a chance to

breathe, to think, to emote, and to share.

Don't Try to Answer the 'Why?" Question

Interesting that when Jesus was on the cross, suffering, and near death, he asked what we all ask in times of crisis: Why?! When we’re asking the why question in the midst of suffering, we’re really asking an emotional question; we don’t really need or want a trite quip or a 10-page thesis on the problem of evil manifested in human suffering.

Any attempt to answer the why question only raises more questions.

“We suffer so we can become stronger people.”

“We’re suffering because Adam and Eve sinned.”

“For an arm to be able to embrace, it must also have the ability to make a fist.”

“Because God knows best.”See what I mean. How many questions

do just those raise? And it goes on and on, ad nauseam.

The best answer: Silence or “I don’t know.”

There is, of course, a time and place to attempt an answer at this question (though I’m convinced there are no good answers!), but it’s not in the pit of despair. Trust me, none of it will do an ounce of good in truly relieving the pain and distress.

Our Presence is EnoughIn the end, it’s our presence that really

makes a difference, not our answers to life’s greatest theological or philosophical questions. It’s you. It’s the fact that you came alongside with the listening ear, the warm embrace, the hand on the shoulder - the fact that you cared and loved. Human connection and empathy buoys the human spirit more than we realize. You are enough.

Everyone is DifferenceIt’s natural to think: “Well, if I were

going through this, I would want …” Not a bad line of thinking until you assume

the other person would want the same thing as you. And we do this often. But the reality is that everyone deals with pain and suffering differently. There are common themes, of course, but there are also many, many unique differences from person to person.

Within hours of d iscover ing a cancerous brain tumor, my friend and officer in charge assigned one of my first taskers to send him my best brain tumor jokes. Not at all what I expected. It caught me off guard, so I chuckled nervously and scanned his facial expressions for intent. He quickly settled things with a focused look and: “No, I’m serious.” Aye, sir. I soon learned that humor was his weapon of choice, and though it took me a week to come to terms, I joined him at the front lines with jokes in hand.

Everyone is different. Don’t assume. Listen for what they need, and if they’re not telling you, don’t be afraid to ask.

Be Gentle With YourselfBe gentle with yourself. I’ve been

doing this for 17 years, and I still mess up - often, and sometimes big. I say the wrong things or do something when the timing just isn’t right. I’ve walked alongside many, many people who are suffering, and I still get it wrong.

It’s OK. You’re human. I’m human. We’re all human. We do the best we can to support one another and walk alongside and that’s what is most important. We beat ourselves up over our mistakes, we’ll be more inclined to withdraw at the next opportunity to come to the aid of someone in pain.

We are all very important laborers in the beautiful work of bringing healing and restoration to this world and the people around us. I need you, chaplains, health professionals and counselors everywhere need you. The world needs you. Get in the fight.

Seven Days in Ashes


Team Rota in the SpotlightAO2 Emily Walker

Aviation Ordnance 2nd Class Petty Officer Emily Walker, originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, is a fast riser at Navy Munitions Command Atlantic (NMC), Detachment Rota, Spain. Recently recognized as Junior Sailor of the Year for NMC Rota for her duty as the Quality Assurance (QA) Representative, Walker ensures that things are done safely and correctly in accordance with Navy regulations. This position is an important one inside the explosive safety programs as it is the QA’s job to deal with any discrepancies when anything comes up in ordnance that is incorrect.

With her collateral duty as qualification supervisor, Walker is tasked to ensure that everyone at NMC has the proper paperwork in

place. Everyone at NMC has to be qualified to handle ordnance, which consists of classroom lectures, demonstrations and on the job training and it is Walker's job to ensure that all documents are placed in their appropriate folder. She plays a significant role in ensuring that everyone gets enough training to allow them to get to the next level of qualification essential for advancement.

Walker is also the Material Handling Equipment (MHE) forklift-driving instructor at Naval Station Rota. This means that anyone who needs to drive a forklift has to attend one of Walker’s classes before they can become qualified to drive.

Working at NMC has been a learning experience for Walker.

“It’s not a job I’ve ever done before as an AO (Aviation Ordnanceman), or

that I will get to do again without being apart of NMC,” said Walker. “So it’s really good to be out of rate training, it’s a GM’s (Gunner’s Mate) world here, but it’s really nice to see and learn the overall weapons, wether you’re AO or GM, it’s nice to see how the other side of the house works. I like it a lot. “

As a self proclaimed nerd and “crazy-dog-lady,” Walker is a lover of both photography and reading. A fan of the “Game of Thrones” series, Walker even named one of her three dogs Daenarys. Along with her other two dogs, Walker enjoys her time here in Spain.

“It’s great being in Spain, just living in a foreign country, it’s soothing,” continued Walker. “The people are great, it’s a wonderful place to be at and I would definitely come back here for shore duty.”

Members of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8, assigned as Task Group 68.1, are participating in the annual multinational historic ordnance disposal operation Open Spirit 2016, which began May 13. Held annually in the Baltic region, Open Spirit brings together Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel and mine countermeasures units from Europe and North America to conduct real-world operations to detect and neutralize historical ordnance from World Wars I and II. “We’re glad to be part of this important operation and work side-by-side with our allies and partners to clear sea mines that remain in the Baltic Sea from previous wars. This type of operation builds interoperability with other Explosive Ordnance Disposal units so that we can work more closely together in the future and exchange best practices. This also represents an historic and important opportunity for my staff to assume command and control of partner nation surface and underwater MCM forces. We have never been provided this

opportunity and I am excited to see how well our multi-lateral task unit performs in this challenging environment.” remarked Cmdr. Gareth Healy, the Commanding Officer for EODMU 8.

EODMU 8 will use unmanned underwater vehicles to conduct searches. If historical ordnance is detected, the team will neutralize through explosive disposal methods. In addition to neutralizing historical ordnance, the operation also serves to promote interoperability between the U.S., NATO, and Partnership for Peace mine countermeasures (MCM) forces. EODMU 8 is forward-deployed to Rota, Spain and serves as the EOD element of Commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF 68). This exercise will serve as the bi-annual certification event for the CTG 68.1 staff and serves as an unrivaled opportunity to provide command and control for surface and underwater MCM forces. Participants in Open Spirit 2016 include Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom and the United States.

Senior Chief Vincent H. Martin, assigned to Navy Munitions Command Atlantic Detachment Rota, retired during a ceremony at the base theater May 20..

Friends and shipmates gathered to celebrate and honor Martin’s 26 years of service to the United States Navy.

Martin said he was happy to have his good shipmate Lt. Cmdr. John McGonagle, officer in charge, speak at his retirement about their time together.

“Senior has had an impressive career and is an

important part of our naval heritage,” said McGonagle.

"He has served our country with honor courage and commitment. He exemplifies the very essence of our navy. No one ever said spending a career in the Navy would be easy, but senior chief has continuously persevered. For 26 years he has given his time his talent and love for this Navy. He has been a trusted friend for all that’s known him and we owe you thanks.”

Martin’s extensive career took him around the world to places including California, Hawaii, Thailand and Japan. During his various tours around the world he met a lot of people. He says that the important thing to remember in the Navy is the people you

meet."Remember the people and the experiences; that’s

the important part,” said Martin, “and that’s the part you’re going to find yourself looking back on.”

Martin spoke to the audience of good friends, family and shipmates reminding them that what they do is looked upon with respect.

“You don’t try to hurry up and be a civilian after you leave at the end of the day,” said Martin. “You have to remember that you do this and people look up to you. Because you sacrifice either your life or you’re gonna help somebody sacrifice theirs.”

The retiring chief has made good friends throughout his career all of whom stated in their farewell videos that Martin’s legacy will live on through them.

"I’ve been privileged to be sought but by people that needed help,” said Martin. "I’ve been a guidance counselor, I’ve been a marriage counselor, I’ve been a grief counselor, I’ve been helping people get driver’s licenses.”

In honor of his retirement, Martin received a large shadow box decorated with pins, images and insignias as a farewell present. He also received an additional shadow box displaying his flight deck jersey signed by his shipmates.

Martin plans to spend his days enjoying his retirement by joy riding on his motorcycles and spending time with his family.

Martin said he chose to have his retirement ceremony at the base theater so to not feel like a funeral because of the few similarities the two types of events could have.

Living in Spain is an experience that impacts family members large and small. The daily sights, sounds and colors evoke vivid memories but in Andalucía, it is feria season that is one of the most memorable.

At the Naval Station Rota Child Development Center (CDC) feria was celebrated May 20. Traditionally a time when animal traders would travel from town to town, feria was an opportunity for people to visit with friends old and new. It was also a time used to celebrate

spring and the newness of the season.For the children at the CDC, feria was

a time to display the cultural lessons they had learned. It was an afternoon of Spanish music and food, traditional feria clothing and excited conversation.

“The children are exposed to being on the stage in front of an audience and to music that has a different rhythm than others that they have been exposed to until now. And the immersion in the dance, the art, the food it gets all the senses involved and that’s specially what we want for our one to five year olds.” said Assistant Director Juana Linares.

When asked about their experience, the children in the Spanish Immersion and four-year-old class responded with great enthusiasm.

“I liked my dress so much!” said one girl while another commented on what she learned about Spanish dancing. “We danced before the show and then we went to the show on the stage. It was the Sevillanas dance.”

The CDC structure is styled after the Andalucían cortijo, a Spanish ranch house, and the performances were held in the center interior open courtyard, decorated for the occasion, where children, family and friends gathered

to watch and enjoy the tables of food.

Linares reflected on what she hoped the children at the CDC took away from cultural days

like feria, “All human beings need to be exposed to experiences of value. Being exposed to different kinds of language, music, different kinds of art and food, all that is what gives you an open mind. It is important to be open culturally to other countries but it’s especially important in the military world. It is important that they understand how other people live; the experience starts here – understanding what it is to be more globally minded.”

The Center’s curriculum encourages cultural interaction in the classroom and CDC staff members are always seeking new experiences to share with their students. The CDC welcomes any parent or family members who have a cultural background that they would like to share, to speak with Center staff. It is through experiences like feria that the children of Naval Station Rota will continue to become more globally minded.

The Naval Station Rota Navy Exchange (NEX) rewarded $1,500 to a David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) student as part of the NEX’s A-OK Student Reward Program quarterly drawing May 17.

Terrean Pittman, a fourth grade student attending DGF, received an oversized check from the school principal along with a discount ID card for discounts and services at the NEX.

“Everytime I got my report card, I would go to the NEX customer service and I would give them my report card,” said Terrean. “And every time, I would be entered into a drawing and I won the drawing.”

Terrean said he worked hard to get good grades and he was happy when he was announced as the winner during his school’s morning broadcast program.

“I was speechless for a few seconds,” said Terrean. “Then I

just said thank you. I didn’t know what to say.”

10-year-old Terrean plans to save his winnings in an account to gain interest as he continues to work hard for his future to become a veterinarian.

He said he thanks his aunt, uncle and God for being his motivation and inspiration on getting good grades.

The A-OK Student Reward Program o f fe rs s tudents a chance to help pay for college by rewarding a monetary value of $2,500, $1,500, $1,000 or $500 to a drawing winner each quarter.

To qualify, a student must be a full-time student with a grade point average of B or higher. Homeschooled students may also qualify with acknowledgement that the student has a B average record of accomplishment.

The Navy Exchange Service Command and vendor partners a part of the A-OK program has awarded over $640,000 to students since it’s inception in 1997.

P h y s i c a l ac t i v i t y and exerc ise not only feels good,

but it helps prevent chronic diseases, improves your mood, helps you manage and maintain your weight, increases energy levels and even improves sleep quality. Incorporating strength training into your regular routine can improve and speed up the fat loss process in the body.

In technical terms, being strong refers to muscular strength, which is the ability of a muscle to exert a maximal or near maximal force against an object. In the military, muscular strength is an important component

of optimal performance, especially when lifting heavy artillery, moving cargo on and off vehicles or carrying a lot of pack weight over long distances.

Building muscle improves the ratio between fat and muscle of your body composition, increases your bone strength, burns calories and it’s vital no matter what age you are. Decreases in muscle mass and muscle strength that naturally occur as one ages not only results in a loss of functional ability, but also increases the risk for injury. Resistance training programs for an aging population have the same benefits for increase in muscle strength as those aimed at a younger age group. Increasing muscle strength helps to reduce injuries as functional ability is maintained or improved.

A few workout strategies you can use to improve your muscular strength and supplement your daily physical training include choosing a program that you enjoy that will help you reach your muscular strength goals. If you are new to strength training on your own, be sure to

consult a professional instructor for proper technique. All movements should be controlled and involve a joint’s full range of motion.

Secondly, prior to starting a program, assess your current level of strength to determine the amount of weight you should be working with. Using free weights for strength training can improve your stability and identify imbalances in strength between your dominant and non-

dominant sides. You can get creative with free weights by using household items like milk cartons or bottles filled with rocks, sand or

water and add more material as you get stronger.

Machine weights, resistance bands, circuit

training and body weight exercises also help improve

muscular strength and increase endurance. For more tips or information, please contact Health Promotions at 727-3350. Stay healthy for life Rota!

Importance of Incorporating Strength Training

The first 27 of the U.S. Naval Academy's cyber operations majors graduate May 27 as part of the Class of 2016.

The academy first announced its intention to offer a cyber operations major in spring 2013, and midshipmen of the Class of 2016 were the first to be able to select it.

"It's really a humbling experience to be one of those plankowners," said

Midshipman 1st Class Zac Dannelly. "It's so unique because it's not only the first time USNA has offered it, but really it's the first program of this kind in the nation. It's not just for our education and those coming

behind us at USNA, but we're kind of paving the way for how this can be taught uniquely around the nation."

The major provides a basic foundation in computer architecture, programming, data structures, networks, the Internet, database systems, information assurance, cryptography, and forensics. The technical aspects of the program are balanced with courses and electives in areas such as policy, law, ethics and social engineering.

The cyber operations majors will leave USNA with a deeper understanding of the technical and broader cyber applications in the military and national services. These midshipmen are headed to a variety of Navy warfare communities and the Marine Corps.

"Cyber is all about people, technology and processes," said Capt. David Bondura, deputy director of USNA's Center for Cyber Security Studies. "Whether these students are going into the cryptologic warfare, air warfare, submarine warfare, surface warfare or special warfare communities, USNA is building a cadre of junior officers who are leaving here with an understanding of cyber operations -- with capability, competence and confidence. This is the one warfighting domain that genuinely affects everyone across the entire warfighting spectrum."

USNA's location affords the capability to map the education directly towards what our nation and Navy needs, said Bondura.

With resources such as the Pentagon, the National Security Agency, U.S. Cyber Command and the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in close proximity, it

gives midshipmen the unique opportunity to provide operational relevance towards their education and research.

"I was fortunate enough to be able to do an in-semester internship program with the National Security Agency," said Dannelly. "I'm able to learn the 'how-to' here at USNA and then see the 'why' -- the real-world applications and practices. Our location makes a drive to the NSA, State Department or the Pentagon very convenient, and the opposite is true for many of our guests who take their time to come speak with us."

After completing USNA's cyber operations program, future officers can

enter advanced study or potentially choose assignments with various military cyber-related forces in support of national security.

"These cyber operations majors have the technical understanding of what's happening behind the screen, and additionally they understand the broader implications of what a cyber act's effects can be," Paul Tortora, director of USNA's Center for Cyber Security Studies. "I think that USNA is on the leading edge of this at the undergraduate level."

Almost doubling the graduating cyber majors, 51 plebes, or freshmen, declared cyber operations as their major earlier this year, said Tortora.

After Easter, Corpus Christi is the most important Catholic ce lebrat ion in Spain . Th is celebration is held in honor of the presence of the body of Christ in the Holy Wafer.

Popu la r and t rad i t i ona l celebrations are held throughout Spain in May or June depending on when Easter occurs. The name of Corpus Christi is Latin for the body of Christ. A solem and magnificient procession bears the consacrated host through the main streets.

A l though Corpus Chr is t is celebrated everywhere in Andalucía, it is most famous in Sevilla and especially in Granada where this religious celebration is fused with the annual city fair. Corpus Christi festivity is also considered of national tourist interest in the beautiful city of Toledo.

The story of Corpus Christi in Granada is particularly interesting, because the Catholic kings used it as a way to Christianize the

population that had been under Muslim rule for centuries.

While the Granada Corpus Chr i s t i ce leb ra t i on i s t he most spectacular, and highly recommended to attend, this religious holiday is celebrated in most towns in Andalucía. Of special interest are the ones in Zahara de la Sierra, El Gastor, Bornos, Arcos de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, Jerez and Cádiz, among many others which are within the province of Cádiz.

A special mention to the Corpus Christi celebration in Sevilla, May 26 is a local holiday.Solemn mass in the cathedral is accompanied by the famous group of “Seises”.

To this day, it is still a typical tradition to carpet the streets of towns and villages with greenery for the solemn processions. This adds a special ambiance to the processions. Local authorities as well as military personnel participate during the procession.

This year Corpus Christi will be celebrated May 29.

Corpus Christi celebration is part of the culture and tradition of Spain and Andalucía and is one Catholic celebration you should not miss. .
