The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) departed Naval Station Rota, Spain, Friday to begin its sec-ond forward-deployed patrol.

Donald Cook is on patrol as part the U.S. European Phased Adaptive Approach to NATO Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD). Donald Cook’s pres-ence represents a commitment by the U.S. to maintain safety and security throughout Europe.

“The purpose of this patrol is to conduct ballistic missile defense in the Mediterranean Sea in support of commander 6th Fleet operations,” said Donald Cook Commanding Of-ficer, Cmdr. Charles Hampton. “We will also be conducting theater secu-rity operations and working closely

with NATO allies in the region through various exercises in order to strength-en our sea-going partnerships.”

With combined training and the-ater security cooperation engage-ments with our allies and partners, Donald Cook will demonstrate that the U.S. shares a commitment to working with America's allies and partners.

“As a crew, our team will focus to sharpen our warfighting skills,” said Hampton. “Having just completed the first ever [Chief of Naval Operations] avail-ability maintenance period in Rota, coupled with rigorous sea and dock trials and Type Commander readi-ness evaluations, the crew is looking

forward to this underway.”This is a routine patrol in support

defense of BMD threats to Europe and assurance under Operation Atlantic Resolve. This is a demon-stration of continued commitment to

the collective se-curity of NATO and dedication to the enduring peace and stability in the region.

Donald Cook, the first of four Ar-

leigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers to be forward deployed in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations, arrived in Rota in February. USS Ross (DDG 71) joined Donald Cook in June. USS Porter (DDG 78) and USS Carney (DDG 64) are scheduled to arrive some time in 2015.

Praising Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s “class and integrity,” President Barack Obama announced Monday at the White House that Hagel will leave his post.

The president said Hagel has agreed to remain in his position until a successor is nominated and con-firmed. For that, Obama said, he is “extraordinarily lucky and grateful.”

“When I asked Chuck to serve as secretary of defense, we were entering a significant period of transition,” Obama said. That transition included the drawdown in Afghanistan, the need to prepare our forces for future missions, and tough fiscal choices to keep our military strong and ready.

Last month, Obama said, Hagel came to him to discuss the final quarter of his presidency. It was then that Hagel initially determined that, having guided the department through this transition, it was an ap-propriate time for him to complete his service, the president added.

A Steady Hand“Over nearly two years, Chuck has been an ex-

emplary defense secretary,” Obama said, crediting Hagel for providing a steady hand during the mod-ernization of the administration’s strategy and budget to meet long-term threats, while still responding to immediate challenges such as ISIL and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Hagel said he is “immensely proud” of what the department has accomplished during his tenure.

“I believe we have set not only this department, the Department of Defense, but the nation on a stronger course toward security, stability and prosperity,” the secretary said.

Privileged to ServeHagel called his opportunity to serve as defense

secretary the “greatest privilege of my life.”In the meantime, Hagel said, “I will stay on this job

and work just as hard as I have over the last couple of years, every day, every moment, until my successor is confirmed by the United States Senate.”

The United States of America can proudly claim the strongest military the world has ever known, Obama said.

“That’s the result of the investments made over many decades, the blood and treasure and sacrifices of many generations,” he said. “It’s the result of the character and wisdom of those who lead them as well, including a young Army sergeant in Vietnam who rose to serve as our nation’s 24th secretary of defense.”

Happy Thanksgiving Team Rota!There is much to be thankful for as we approach Thanksgiving

and the four-day weekend. There have also has been quite a bit happening these past couple of weeks, to include our Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) ships and recognition of some of our Sailors, Spanish, and U.S. civilians, and Naval Hospital

Rota for awards they just recently received.

**USS Ross and USS Donald Cook**

Welcome back USS Ross (DDG 71)! They returned last week after four months of patrol, showing the American flag and providing reas-suring presence to our NATO allies. It’s good to have everyone back safe and sound.

Also, I want to wish the Sailors of USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) a safe patrol as they departed Friday for their four-month patrol after a very

safe missile swap coordinated by Naval Munitions Command. Their departure was on the heels of a very successful Ship's Restricted Availability (SRA) maintenance period that finished on time, which is amazing given the fact that this was the 1st time a SRA was performed in Spain. Congratulations to the team effort of USS Donald Cook, the Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center, Destroyer Squadron 60 detachment, Port Operations Department, and especially Navantia. This SRA was hugely successful!

**U.S. Naval Hospital Rota**U.S. Naval Hospital Rota (USNHR) was chosen as one of

the seven recipients of the 2014 Department of Defense Quality and Patient Safety awards. This award highlighted their premier culture of patience safety as evidenced by their outstanding primary care continuity and the sustained decrease in utilization of the Emergency Department. Both of these measures ensure the highest quality of patient care possible as the patient is seen in continuity by their primary care manager (continuity) instead of being seen in the Emergency Department (ED utilization) by various providers. Congratulations!

**NAVSTA Sailors of the Year**I want to recognize and congratulate NAVSTA Rota’s Sailors

of the Year for their sustained superior performance over 2014. We have many superb Sailors aboard NAVSTA Rota, so the competition was pretty tough to achieve this yearly award. My hat goes off to:

Senior Sailor of the Year: Master-at-Arms 1st Class Elizabeth Gamboa (Security);

Sailor of the Year: Air-Traffic Controller 2nd Class Noreen

Weddell (Air Ops); Junior Sailor of the Year: Yeoman 3rd Class Michael Ford

(Admin); Blue Jacket of the Year: Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling)

Seaman Angel Gomez (Air Ops);Great job to our Sailors! Be sure to check out the nice high-

light about these Sailors on pages 14 and 15 of this week's issue.**Civilians of the Year** This past month our tenant commands submitted packages

on several of their stellar American and Spanish civilian team members for Civilian of the Year. These awards recognize the many contributions and hard work our civilian workforce per-forms day in and day out. The competition was tough as we have so many superstars, but representatives from our tenant commands met and selected 2014’s U.S. and Local National Civilians of the Year. I would like to recognize and congratulate our awardees:

Senior Civilian of the Award for 2014: Mr. Rick Irby (Air Ops);Junior Civilian of the Year Award: Ms. Morgan Over (Public

Affairs);Senior Local National of the Year 2014: Ms. Susana Lozita

Theilig (NAVFAC)Junior Local National of the Year 2014: Ms. Natalia Perez-

Traverso (USNHR)I also want to recognize and thank ALL of our U.S. and local

national civilians for all of the hard work that they do for our organizations and our base. You are a huge part of our team, and we couldn’t support our forces or families without you!

**Thanksgiving**Lastly as family and

friends gather to enjoy Thanksgiving, I want to extend my deepest thanks to Team Rota. Whether serving in uniform or as a civilian, whether deployed abroad or stationed here at home, you are work-ing every day to secure for all of us the bless-ings that we celebrate on Thanksgiving. I hope that you take a moment on Thanksgiving to reflect on the important role you play in supporting our base, its mission, and our people. Take great pride in the contributions you have made because you all are making a difference for this base. Enjoy your families and friends this Thanksgiving holiday, and, as always, have a safe weekend!

Shining Examples of Naval Station Rota

1. If you heat your house with a heat pump and have a conventional thermostat, do not set back the temperature setting when the house is unoccupied during the day or when the occu-pants are asleep at night. Setting back a conven-t ional thermo-stat can cause the heat pump to operate inef-ficiently, cancel-ing any savings achieved by lowering the temperature setting. Set back the thermostat if you have a setback heat pump thermostat. This problem does not arise when the heat pump operates in the cooling mode. Turning up the setting of both conventional and setback thermostats in the summer will save you energy and money.

2. If you have a hot water or steam heating system, put a reflector behind your radiator to re-flect heat into the room that would normally be lost through the wall.

3. If you have reversible ceiling fans, set them in the winter to circulate the heated air collecting at the ceiling down toward the floor.

4. If you plan to buy a new furnace, select an energy-efficient unit. Your contractor has energy fact sheets for each model; ask for them and compare energy usage.

BRITE Ideas NAVSTA Rota!

The local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is seek-ing program coordinators as well as tax preparers to help prepare federal and state income tax returns during the upcoming 2014 tax filing season. VITA preparers will assist active duty military, retirees, Department of De-fense civilians, and their dependents with preparing tax returns.

This is a great opportunity to sup-port your fellow service members and the Naval Station Rota com-munity while becoming a certified tax preparer and earning volunteer hours. Like last year, this year’s VITA program will be all self-service with assistance from volunteers, rather than full-service for retirees and E-6 and below as in years past.

All members of the NAVSTA com-

munity - active duty, dependents, civilians, and retirees are welcome and encouraged to volunteer for ei-ther position (active duty volunteers must provide an approved request chit from their chain of command). Hours will be flexible and could be as minimal as a few hours each week during the January to June tax sea-son. Training and certification will occur in January, and all volunteers must become certified.

There are two separate needs to fill:

- Site coordinators (two positions to fill). Ideal candidates will have significant leadership experience, although no prior tax experience is necessary, and at least 10 hours per week to commit to the tax center. Responsibilities will include super-vising and scheduling volunteers, maintaining facilities, advertising,

and creative problem solving to ensure service to Rota’s unique customer base. Site coordinators may be active duty, civilian, or de-pendents, but if active duty, must be E-6 or above.

- Tax preparers (multiple posi-tions to fill). Ideal candidates will be responsible, dependable, and organized, with at least eight hours per week to commit to the tax cen-ter. Responsibilities will include successful completion of tax cer-tification, and training, customer service, scheduling and completing tax assistance appointments. No prior tax experience is necessary. Tax preparation volunteers may be active duty, civilian, or dependents.

For more information or to vol-unteer, contact Lt. Allison Couch at 727-2536 or allison.couch@eu.navy.mil

Alcohol SafetyThe holidays are coming up quickly and

it’s almost time to celebrate! Compared to any other time of the year, the holiday season has a dramatic ramp up in festive activities. This rise in festivity is some-times accompanied with a rise in alcohol consumption. While there is nothing wrong with the consumption of alcohol, “modera-tion” is the key word to staying safe and enjoying the rest of the holidays with your loved ones.

A good guideline to go with is no more than one drink per hour. “One drink” is a vague standard, typically one drink is considered 1.25 ounces of 80 proof liquor, 12 ounces of beer or 5 ounces of table wine. Alcohol can debilitate your ability to function rather quickly, with the blood alcohol content (BAC) of .06, depth perception, and the ability to reason is already impaired. By .1, reduction in reflexes, reaction times, and slurred speech are to be expected. If not planned for correctly, a night of holiday celebration can lead to tragedy.

There are ways to combat any adverse events that may come with indulgence of alcohol. Commands issue “arrive alive” cards, which can be used with partici-pating taxis out in town. These cover cab fare, and you simply pay the sum at a later date with no negative effects. The chain of command, as well as peers, can support a Sailor and pick them up if they become impaired. Every command has their own guidelines, policies, and tips to prevent any mishaps, so be sure to look in to those as well. Lastly, utilize whatever resources may be needed so that you can stay safe and stay Healthy for Life!

The Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota (USNHR), would like to invite the Naval Station Rota departments, tenant commands, staff, and consumer repre-sentatives the opportunity to exchange health care information and address areas of mutual concern at the quarterly Health Care Consumers’ Council (HCCC).

Only through regularly scheduled council meetings can health care policies, pro-cedures, changes in regulations, services provided, and items related to the delivery of quality health care services be discussed with a continuous focus on improvement in the health care delivery to eligible beneficiaries.

Membership of the council will consist of representation from each command aboard Naval Station Rota, Department of Defense Schools, local retired military as-sociations, and other beneficiaries as appropriate to obtain maximum representation. Commanding officers and officers in charge are encouraged to attend or appoint an E-7 or above representative to be their surrogate.

The HCCC will convene at noon on Dec. 10 in Conference Room A221, of Building 1. USNHR invites you to get involved in your health care!

Cmdr. Tadd Gorman, commanding officer of USS Ross (DDG 71) wel-comed 40 Navy Junior Reserve Offi-cers’ Training Corps (NJROTC) cadets from David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) High School aboard ship for a guided tour, Monday.

The cadets, accompanied by retired Navy Cmdr. James Flynn and retired Navy Chief Eddie Andrews, have been

eagerly awaiting such an opportunity.After being welcomed aboard, the

cadets were split into three groups, and were given tours by Ensign Jonathan Larson, Ensign Carol Nordam, and Ensign Lisa Worsham.

“It was a pleasure showing students at DGF around the USS Ross,” said Larson following the tour. “I think it’s great to give them a taste of what the Navy has to offer.”

After the tour all cadets were wel-comed to join the sailors to have lunch together on the mess decks. In the mess all the cadets lined up and chose lunch. They sat down to relax, enjoy their meals, and talk about a great day that they had.

“It was nice meeting Ensign [Carol] Nordman and the rest of the sailors around the ship,” said NJROTC cadet Nicholas Gann.

When all cadets finished up in the mess they cleared out and went to the bow to be dismissed and go back to their classrooms.

“I think it was an eye-opening ex-perience for all the NJROTC cadets to see and touch some of the most impor-tant parts of the ship,” said Flynn, an

NRJROTC instructor at DGF. “It was an invaluable experience to be able speak to the younger officers who were our tour guides.”

Kids Program at Brindo Mi Vida

Opportunity for LDS Members in RotaThe Latter-day Saints meet at the Capilla at the Chapel, Sundays, 7 p.m. The

LDS Family Home meetings are held on Mondays at 7 p.m. The LDS Scripture Study/Institute meets on Thursdays.

Join us for The Gospel Project for Kids, a Sunday school class for your little ones at Brindo mi Vida. Brindo Mi Vida (I Offer My Life) is a casual, experiential Christian worship, centered around fellowship and communion. Eat dessert, drink coffee and explore with them a deeply spiritual, yet very practical rela-tionship with God. Every Sunday, 6 p.m. at the chapel. Visit their website at http://brindomivida.blogspot.com.

The Consequences of AdulteryReturning from Sunday School one day where the

Ten Commandments had been the topic, a young boy asked his father, “Dad what does it mean it says, ‘Thou shalt not commit agriculture?’” There was hardly a beat between the question and the father’s smooth reply, “Son, that just means that you’re not supposed to plow the other’s man’s field.” That proved to be satisfactory

for both father and son. Probably no story better illustrates how the

sweet, stolen water of adultery turns invariably sour than the story of Camelot. In this epic tale, the relationship of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere is trespassed upon when Arthur’s most renowned and trusted knight, Lancelot, gingerly slips his toe across the marital boundary. It started with a look, an innocent look, without premeditation or evil intent. However, it was a short, slippery step from being just a look to lust; from infatuation to infidelity. The look eventually led to a touch. The touch later led to a kiss. The kiss to adultery, and on to tragedy.

Are we true to our spouses? Or do we just say we are?

About a third of ‘USA Today’ readers responding to a survey said they’ve had an extramarital affair. Fred Humphrey, the former president of the Ameri-

can Association for Marriage and Family Therapy said, “My guess is more of them had an affair and didn’t admit it.”

Experts say extramarital affairs rarely have a happy ending. Humphrey points out that about half of married couples either divorce or separate when one spouse learns of the other’s affair. Oth-ers anguish for years trying to put the indiscretion behind them. This unfortunate thing often happens in today’s society. We must remember that it has far reaching consequences, morally and spiritually, without even considering the physical threat of get-ting sick.

If you want to speak with me or another chaplain about this topic, call the Religious Ministries Depart-ment at 727-2161.

On Dec. 16 the local Jewish community will hold a celebration to commemorate Chanukah with a candle lighting ceremony at the chapel.

Nurturing Parenting for New, Expectant Every Friday, 10 a.m. to noon. Developed by Stephen J. Bavolek, Ph.D., the Nurturing Parenting Support Program provides specific parenting techniques to help parents build trust and self-esteem in their children, engage cooperation, and find a helpful approach to discipline. Nurturing is the ability to care for and foster growth in us and others. We all need to be nurtured - to receive understanding, respect, recognition, praise, security, limits, and appropriate expectations. A nur-turing parent-child relationship is crucial for producing the next generation of healthy, responsible, and self-sustaining adults. All expectant parents or those with children birth to age 3 are encouraged to attend these interactive, free sessions. If interested in a New Parent Support consultation or to sign up for the workshop, call 727-3232.

Naval Station Rota, Spain announced it Sailors of the year, Nov. 3. Rota’s four Sailors each bring a different element to the “Team Rota” work ethic, and each is a shinning example of leadership and excellence. Designed to recognize Sailors who have done outstanding work throughout the year, Naval Station Rota’s Sailors of the Year are:

Senior Sailor of the Year: Master-at-Arms 1st Class Elizabeth Gamboa.

Senior Sailor of the Year

Hometown: Lynn, Massachusetts Current Command: NAVSTA Rota Security

Job Title: Watch CommanderArrival in Spain: April 2012

Warfare: EXWFavorite quote: "A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to

make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the

integrity of his intent." Douglas MacArthur

I found out I was selected for senior Sailor of the year for NAVSTA Rota when Capt. Pekari showed up at my workspace. I was pretty surprised. My security officer told me he wanted to have a meeting with me, but really it was a set up so Capt. [Greg] Pekari could come tell me, so it was a huge sur-prise and I was overwhelmed; I was actually speechless when he came to my workspace to let me know I was selected.

Since I’ve been selected as Senior Sailor of the year for NAVSTA Rota, a lot of junior Sailors have congratulated me and that’s motivated me more to do the right thing so that way they can follow my lead.

It’s an honor be selected as Senior Sailor of the Year, I would like to thank my department, because as a representative of the security department, it’s my duty to uphold the high standard of excellence that we strive to achieve. I would also like to thank my peers and senior leadership for being outstand-ing mentors without their guidance, I would not possess the skills and expe-rience that I have obtained. Furthermore, I would like to thank my family, my husband and children have been so supportive and I couldn’t imagine being here without them.

I believe that being selected as Senior Sailor of the year is not only a per-sonal achievement but also a way for me to set a positive example throughout the installation and the Navy.

Master-at-Arms 1st Class Elizabeth Gamboa

Sailor of the Year

Hometown: Point Pleasant, New JerseyCurrent Command: NAVSTA Rota Air Operations

Job Title: Air Traffic ControllerArrival in Spain: November 2012

Favorite quote: "I think we're going to need a bigger boat." JawsThe Sailor of the Year is a competitive thing. You’re up against a lot of

other second classes who do great things on the base. We’re one of the smaller communities - air traffic control - we only have 22 Sailors here in the division, so to come from such a small division who works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays, Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, we’re here working. To bring a win home for that team felt really good and was important to me.

I walked out of the interview feeling that I left it all in the room and did the best I could have done. I guess it’s your responsibility to continue to do good things and continue to set a positive example for my peers and coworkers.

I think one of the most positive influences definitely here that keeps me going and is always cheerful and ready to go is definitely my chief, Chief [Al] Downing. You have a chief like that, it’s hard not to show up to work excited and ready for the day.

When you set yourself as a positive example, whether you know it or not, people notice. So whether or not someone has come to me physically and said, ‘hey, you’re a positive example in my life,’ I know that I work hard and do good things and try to be the best I can be every day, and I think that stands out.

Favorite quote: “If there is no struggle there is no progress; struggles make stories.” Brad Hayes

Yeoman 3rd ClassMichael Ford

My leadership within our department noticed my collateral duties and a lot of what I do … They told me you’re up for Junior Sailor of the Year and it was pretty exciting. It means a lot that your work doesn’t go unseen - lead-ing petty officer, chief, even officer in charge - so they ... put your package in telling you that you did a good job and they see what you’re doing, and you end up winning, it means a lot. It’s just a small step, but it means a lot.

I also told the guys around me, it’s not just me, 'cause I can’t do it all by myself. I’m here to help the senior guys and the junior guys are here to help me, and I’m here to help them as well, so it’s more a team effort. It shows what we do as a whole that we have one of our Sailors chosen as Sailor of the Year. I have a mentor back in the states Navy Counselor 1st Class Kilo Newton over at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, 'cause he’s more of a family-friend before I joined, and then I decided to join so he helped me out. We all keep in touch, he still talks to my mom and everybody, but I always keep in touch with him; he pretty much keeps me in check. He always told me, ‘stay focused, hard work, faith, consistency, keep it going, just always stay focused on your goal.’ You gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning. So I really am thankful my leadership put me up, for my team around me, my coworkers, we all support each other.

The reason why I think I got picked up for this award is because of my hard work and dedication and my professionalism as I do my job as an everyday Sailor.

This is normally an E-5 billet … and I try to make the best of it, whatever I can, and I want to learn as much as I can from everyone else. Any advice my senior leadership gives me I take into consideration and apply it to myself.

This is my first command. For me, coming here, straight to shore duty as an aviation boatswain's mate is amazing. I’m enjoying every minute of it. I’m very grateful for coming here.

I do enjoy my job over here. It can be very calm but at times it can be very hectic. It does have its ups and downs, but as any job, it has its perks to learn-ing new things. I love learning new things. I’m always up for the next fun and challenge. Always trying to be the best at whatever I do.

It’s nice knowing and to be congratulated for my hard work and dedication. It’s kind of new to me, it’s nice. It feels like all my hard work and everything I’ve worked for over the year is paying off.

Staff Sgt. Thomas Hinton

Team Rota in the Spotlight

A native of Alliance, Ohio, Staff Sgt. Thomas Hinton joined the Air Force as an electrical and environ-mental mechanic in October 2005.

After completing basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and tech school at Sheppard Air Force Base near Wich-ita Falls, Texas, his first duty station was Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware. Next, he went to Kunsan Air Base, South Korea in 2009, then transferred to Dyess Air Force Base near Abilene, Texas, before arriving at Naval Station Rota in May 2012.

Hinton works as the lead tech-nician for the 725th Air Mobility Squadron. On a daily basis his tasks range from working on cryogenic equipment, to service and fuel on an aircraft, to trouble shooting a faulty generator, or fixing miscellaneous

electrical issues.With plenty of junior techs to

train and collateral duties such as augmenting quality assurance and being one of his squadron’s physi-cal training leaders, you might think all the responsibility would wear on Hinton, but he says that throughout his career he has been nothing but grateful.

“I think originally [I joined] just because the job market was bad in Ohio, so this looked like a good ca-reer opportunity,” said Hinton. “But now that I’ve got the experience that I have now, I just love my job and I like the opportunity to come out and work with all the guys that I work with now.”

Hinton said his biggest accom-plishment so far in the Air Force is winning Wing Noncommissioned Officer of the Month while deployed to Kuwait in 2012.
