BLACK SEA - The Arleigh Burke-class guided-mis-sile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) hosted the opening ceremony of Exercise Sea Breaze 2014, a multinational maritime exercise in the Black Sea, Monday.

The exercise took place Monday through Wednes-day with naval forces from Ukraine, Georgia, Romania, Turkey, Latvia, and the U.S., as well as three ships from Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 Task Unit 02 (SNMG2 TU.02), the Canadian Halifax-class frigate HMCS Toronto (FFH 333), Spanish frigate ESPS Almirante Juan De Borbon, and Romanian frigate ROS Regele Ferdinand.

"I believe exercise Sea Breeze will be the next step in increasing stability and building relationships and understanding with all of the participating nations and will be the hope for the future," said Vice Adm. Serhiy Hayduk, commander in chief Ukrainian navy.

Working together in order to strengthen interoper-ability, participants focused on maritime interdiction operations as a primary means to enhance maritime security. Other key components of the exercise focused on communications, search and rescue, force protec-tion, and navigation.

"We will remain focused on improving interoper-ability while promoting regional stability and maritime security; strengthening international military partnering; and fostering trust among our partners and allies," said

Capt. James Aiken, exercise director.This is the first time that the Ross has participated

in Sea Breeze, with this year's exercise being the 17th iteration of what is considered the largest annual multinational maritime exercise held in the Black Sea.

"It's a great opportunity," said Cmdr. Tadd Gorman, commanding officer of USS Ross, during the ceremony. "We're looking forward to some excellent training and the chance to interact with our NATO allies and partners."

Gorman says the Ross plans to actively participate in the entire spectrum of surface, air and sub-surface evolutions during this exercise. These events, he said, will challenge the crew of Ross in their capabilities and level of knowledge.

"Anytime you exercise with warships of other coun-tries, and deal with language barriers, you're going to be challenged," Gorman said. "That's the point of this exercise, overcoming these challenges and working together to become a team."

Ross, forward deployed to Rota, Spain, is conducting naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, con-ducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency part-ners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

If a disaster occurs in Rota will you be prepared to evacuate in a limited amount of time and will you have the required documents to successfully leave the area?

Grabbing your personal copy of your service record, the baby’s favorite pacifier, your grandmother’s jewelry, or your e-reader may seem like necessary items to pack, but in order to successfully evacuate from Rota, there are some essential documents you’ll need to get you, your family, and your pet on that evacuation flight.

Documents needed for an evacuation include pass-ports for all personnel (including tourist and no-fee passports for all family members), list of immunizations or shot records, pet passports, pet medical records, page two (dependent verification), and a page 13 or a page two showing command sponsorship depending on branch of service.

“It’s just better to be safe than sorry overall because you’ll never know when it’s going to be needed,” said Chief Personnel Specialist Forrest Pacitti, Naval Station Rota’s Personnel Service Department’s senior enlisted advisor. “The biggest piece here is ensuring the docu-mentation is correct to get to travel.”

According to the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), an evacuation “must be caused by unusual circumstance such as war, riot, civil uprising, adverse political condi-tions, host government denial or revocation of permis-sions, national or natural disasters, an epidemic, or a

Team Rota,The title and theme for Suicide Prevention Month 2014 is

“Every Sailor, Every Day.” However, in this corner I will be addressing every member aboard Naval Station Rota, our immediate and distant families, and friends. This is another tough subject to talk about; however, we have to take a moment to remind ourselves that we lose an average of 40,000 Americans each year to suicide. according to http://www.save.org. It is up to you and me to we ask the hard questions, to educate,

and understand the common symptoms and what we can do to mitigate them to will help save someone’s life.

1. Did you know ...... many who attempt suicide never seek professional care.... over half of all suicides occur in adult men, ages 25 to 65.... suicide rates in the United States are highest in the spring.... for young people 15 to 24 years old, suicide is the second

leading cause of death.- ... 80 percent of people who seek treatment for depression

are treated successfully.- ... there are an estimated eight to 25 attempted suicides to

one completion.2. What are some of the common symptoms that put us at

particular risk for suicide?- Hopelessness.- Rage, or uncontrolled anger.- Feeling trapped.- Increasing alcohol or drug use.- Withdrawing from family, friends and society.- Dramatic mood changes.3. What can I do to help myself if I am depressed?- Exercise- Set achievable goals and assume a reasonable amount of

responsibility.- Talk to someone. - Do not expect to recover overnight, take it day by day and

stay positive.- Let your family and friends help.Team Rota, we are in this one together, and as part of Suicide

Prevention Month we must continue to support each other, and we must Ask, Care, Treat (ACT). The Navy Suicide Prevention Branch has launched "Pledge to ACT." This is a voluntary and confidential online pledge that encourages all Sailors and fami-lies to take actions to build personal resilience, provide ongoing support to shipmates, and intervene if others are showing signs of distress.

I will take it a step further: As a member of this Rota family we must take an internal pledge to ACT if we see any member of our Rota family in need.

HOORAH! 212 CMCThe pledge will be active through Sept. 30 and can be taken

by visiting https://survey.max.gov/index.php/437524/lang-en. Pledge to ACT today.

On Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. U.S. Naval Hospital Rota (USNHR) and the Drug Enforcement Administra-tion (DEA) will give the public its ninth opportunity in four years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your pills for disposal to the main pharmacy at USNHR. (The DEA cannot ac-cept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked.

Last April, Americans turned in 390 tons (over 780,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at nearly 6,100 sites oper-ated by the DEA and more than 4,400 of its state and local law enforcement partners. When those results are combined with what was collected in its eight previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 4.1 million pounds - more than 2,100 tons - of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and

abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poison-ings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medi-cine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines - flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash -both pose potential safety and health hazards.

DEA is in the process of approving new regulations that implement the Safe and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” (that is, a patient or their family member or pet owner) of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to enti-ties authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances.

Rid your cabinets of unwanted or expired medication and bring them to the hospital Sept. 27, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Suicide PreventionExperiencing a traumatic event is com-

mon among service members who serve around the world.

Each person reacts to traumatic expe-riences differently, and some may encounter emotional and psychological feelings after the event such as guilt, anger, isolation, and anxiety. These can be expected responses to extraordinary circumstances but for others they can be signs of more se-rious conditions that include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression.

When a member is trying to cope they may feel like there is no escape and may contemplate suicide or engage in high-risk behavior. It may be hard to know what to do when you are concerned about a person who may be considering suicide.

Stay calm and have the courage to directly ask them if they are having thoughts of suicide. Understand that they might be in pain and remove anything that may pose a danger to them. Actively listen for details and be non-judgmental. Escort them immediately to a chaplain, behavioral health professional, or medical provider. Don’t keep it a secret, and never leave the person alone until they receive the ap-propriate help.

All military families can speak to a trained professional 24/7 for free by calling the Military Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 and press 1, or by contacting Military One-Source at 00-800-3429-6477 for one-on-one counseling. Additional resources for help are the Fleet and Family Support Center 956-92-3232, chaplain's office during working hours at 956-82-2161 or after Hours at 639-10-1864. Stay Healthy for Life!

Disasters often strike at the most inconvenient time. You may be at the market, while your spouse is at work and your children are attending school. All of a sudden, your family needs to be to-gether, but isn’t! For situations like this, it is important for you and your family to be prepared with a communication plan.

Here are some things you can do to help your family communicate in the event of an emergency. Fill out con-tact cards for each family member and keep them in your wallet or purse. For younger children, the cards can be kept in school backpacks. It is a good idea to laminate your contact cards to preserve them in case of accidental contact with liquids. In addition to carrying a calling card, cash (U.S. dollars and euro), a

cell phone is always helpful. It is not uncommon for cellular phone networks to be disrupted during emergencies, but text messages and SMS will often still transmit even when voice calls fail, so ensure all family members know how to use this technology.

Since Naval Station Rota is a Span-ish naval base, they have ultimate con-trol over base access. If base access is restricted due to a disaster or emer-gency, it is possible that you could be on one side of the gate, and your family members on the other. For this reason, it is important to have a back-up plan. Talk with your family about safe meeting places at the homes of trusted friends, for example. Make sure your children know which adults can help them get back in touch with you if an emergency does cause a physical separation be-

tween you and your family, and c o m m u n i c a t e with your friends and ensure that they are listed as an emergency contact for your children. Be pre-pared! Stay con-nected!

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South and Central Asian Affairs, visited Naval Station Rota in Rota, Spain, Sept. 4.

Kaine is leading a congressional del-egation to North Africa and Spain, including Representatives Loretta Sanchez from California, Congressmen Adam Schiff from California, Albio Sires from New Jersey, Juan Vargas from California, and Pedro Pierluisi from Puerto Rico.

During the visit, the delegation ob-served a joint U.S.-Spanish military ex-ercise, discussed embassy security with U.S. Marines from Special Purpose Marine

Air-Ground Task Force for Crisis Response (SPMAGTF) based at Morón Air Base, and visited the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Donald Cook, pre-viously homeported in Norfolk, Virginia and an example of U.S. commitment to European security.

The delegation also met with service members from Virginia and delegation states, and toured an MV-22 Osprey. Kaine engaged with local political leaders in Rota and Spanish business leaders to discuss the benefit of the U.S. presence in Rota.

Throughout his visit to Rota, Kaine was impressed with the deep level of U.S.-Spanish cooperation, not only with the military-military relationship, but political and economic cooperation as well.

As a reminder to all hands, the shipment of alcohol through the U.S. Postal System is unauthorized. Labeling the shipment as "olive oil" or similar makes

the offense more egregious. Not only is it against regulations and can result in a postal offense/loss of postal privileges, it also causes loss/damage of other mail as these items usually break and leak over other items. Please share this with your family members as we have had official records (including medical records) ruined and other people's personal items dam-aged as a result of people attempting to ship alcohol through the mail system.

One dimly lit night I was hanging out on the bridge, as is my custom most every evening while on one of our warships. Some nights they are hunting submarines in a joint training exercise with Hellenic and Israeli navies. The ping of sonar boldly fills the small space and the radios incessantly squawk with a flurry of numbers, codes, and acronyms unintelligible to my novice ears as the bridge communicates with the combat center and

the various teams align their efforts to track down the ever-elusive sub. On other nights it is calm and eerily quiet as the officer of the deck and his crew plot our course through open waters with the oc-casional bark of course corrections and rudder turns. This night, it is quiet but active. We can

see the lights of a nearby coastal city.The ensign on the bridge who was assigned as

the “conning officer” asked me if I wanted to give the command: “Full right rudder. Steady on course. 1.8.0.” I passed on the opportunity, initially thinking, “Meh, not really a big deal.” So, he gives the command to the helmsman to turn the ship and walks outside on the bridge wing where I follow to observe - this being my first time on what we call a 'small boy,' a ship smaller in size when compared to some amphibious ships and, of course, aircraft carriers. He explained that he likes to get a visual to make sure there are no “pop-up contacts” (small ships such as leisure craft or ferries

and obstacles or large debris in the water).But what struck me most was that he enjoyed watch-

ing the incredible effect of his verbal pronouncement. He loved watching the ship turn at his command. He smiled at me as he pondered the profundity of it all and considered the purpose, significance, and contentment provided by the very human act of speaking things into existence.

Navy destroyers, including the ones assigned here in Rota, are powerful vessels. They aren’t considered the most massive of ships, but watching their 505-foot-long frame cut through the deep blue, displacing 8,300 metric tons of ocean water, will demand admiration and respect at just a glimpse of their sheer power. The armaments they threaten to bring to bear against the injustices committed on the world stage are enough to strike fear into the most formidable foe (and to bring hope to the most hopeless friend).

And yet, here is a young, 20-something using what seem to be “little” words to alter the very course of a beastly vessel of war.

And it’s not just the course that is altered, but rather, it is the entirety of the world with which the ship interacts, shapes, and creates. From the sea and its inhabitants to the Sailors and their loved ones. From port cities and nations to the people and their cultures. From the present to the future and even reaching into the past to pull it all forward.

There is great power in words. The human tongue speaks things into existence. Words create worlds.

This leads us to an important question: What kind of worlds are we creating with our words?

Ones that are full of love, joy, peace, patience, kind-

ness, goodness, and the like?Or, ones that are full of rage, bitterness, malice,

envy, hate, and their companions? Are they worlds in which we are known by what we are for? Or, are they worlds in which we are known for what we are against?

Is it a world that builds up or one that tears down?The old adage, “sticks and stones may break my

bones, but words will never hurt me” simply isn’t true - no matter how many times we’ve chanted it as a child. I remember the oft-repeated words of my abusive stepfa-ther who said I would never amount to anything. I also remember the encouraging words of my grandfather who created a world in which I had wings and could soar through the skies. I choose to live in that world. Mostly. And after much hard work. But if I’m honest, I still struggle and must live in both, unable to completely escape the clutches of that evil world created by the destructive words of just one man.

The ensign gathered great satisfaction from the fact that by his words this mighty warship ripped and cut through the waves of the Mediterranean Sea transport-ing its crew, its armaments, and its presence to places of destiny. He knew his words had power. The tongue is small and words seem but audio reverberations bouncing along auditory receptors; but the ensign was on to something. He knew they were so much more.

The key for us is to realize the same.To be aware of our power. To choose our words

carefully and to speak clearly. To observe and evaluate what we create, what lies ahead, and what we leave in our wake as a result. To realize: “Ah, it is a big deal! The world I create with my words matters because the people who inhabit this world matter.”

LS3 Keith BakerTeam Rota in the Spotlight

A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Logistics Spe-cialist 3rd Class Keith Baker joined the Navy in July 2013. After completing basic training in Great Lakes, Illinois, he attended Logistics Specialist “A” School in Meridian, Mississippi for 2 1/2 months. In December 2013, he arrived in Rota and joined the Port Operations Department.

Serving as one of two logistic specialists at Port Operations, Baker is the supply supervisor. He primarily initiates and orders parts, approves documents for increasing and decreasing funds, and manages 24 lines of accounting. Additionally, he is the hazardous materials (HAZMAT) coordina-tor, and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Defense Priorities and Allocations Systems (DPAS) representative.

“I love my job,” said Baker. “I feel like I’m making a big difference.”

Baker said his biggest accomplishment thus far is graduating at the top of his class in “A” School, and winning blue jacket of the quarter.

“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then you will be successful,” said Eric Thomas.

similar condition of comparable magni-tude.”

Command sponsored dependents are entitled to a safe haven, which is desig-nated as a temporary refuge during an evacuation. Safe havens are typically the service member’s home of record or somewhere in the continental United States (CONUS). If dependents have to stay for an extended time at a safe haven (six-to-nine months), it becomes a designated place. Pets are authorized transportation to a safe haven as well.

Command sponsored dependents are authorized a ticket to a designated place, per diem, and a return ticket if return is deemed a viable option. If the dependents travel to a designated place and travel to another location, the per diem entitlement stops. Per diem is only authorized at the initial designated place. If the evacuation lasts more than 30 days, there are other entitlements to be paid, such as fam-ily separation pay. If it’s more than six months, housing entitlements will begin to change.

“This is the only time that a pet is authorized transportation fees from the military,” said Pacitti. “If the pet does not have a pet passport, the pet can’t fly on a Spanish airline. So the owners of the pets have to make sure they have all of their paperwork, documents and immuniza-tions up to date to get them out and back into the country.”

Service members will stay on base and help with cleanup or any necessary role their specific departments fall into. If the disaster is high-impact and lasts long enough that a safe haven turns into a des-ignated place, then orders will potentially

be cut and service members will be sent to new commands.

In order to establish secure lines of communication in the event of a disaster, service members with Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) or OneNet access must register all cell phones, home phone num-bers, and email addresses in the Wide Area Alert Network (WAAN) to receive notifications.

Pacitti also recommends collecting perishables, making sure medication is available, keeping receipts, and being patient.

“Be patient in the procedure because everyone will be taken care of,” said Pac-itti. “Flying 300 family members out require checking in, tracking, and going through all of their paperwork, and it takes a little bit of time. It’s a very stressful environ-ment so staying calm and patient will help everyone involved to be able to perform their duties efficiently.”

Besides being patient, working togeth-er as a community is another essential part of being prepared.

“Being prepared as a family, even in areas where the possibilities of natural disasters are low, fosters a community of preparedness that works together,” said Chief Hull Technician Thomas Kiefer, NAVSTA Rota’s emergency management leading chief petty officer. “A community that works together has a much better foundation in which to recover from a disaster. Even though the events of 9/11 were not natural, it was an important ex-ample of how families and communities had to learn to work together on a scale that size, never before though possible. This made us realize the importance of being prepared, conducting prepared-ness awareness training, and asking each family member to increase their

education, participation, and involvement during National Preparedness Month, and to benefit themselves if ever confronted by a natural or man-made disaster. Your preparedness, and the sense of prepared-ness instilled into your family, will benefit you now and follow you to future locations, wherever that may be.”

Kiefer recommends being informed, making a plan, and building an emergency kit in the event of a disaster.

“It is absolutely of the highest impor-tance that all members of team Rota have the information, and resources to be able to take care of themselves and their loved ones,” said Keifer. “It’s important to know what can happen in the area that you live in, to be able to prepare yourself and fam-ily on how to respond and what services are available to assist you. Having a plan changes how you will react to a disaster, more specifically it changes your mental outlook on a situation from the onset of an emergency. Instead of going into a chaotic situation with nothing, you’ll have a peace

of mind and focus knowing that your family has a plan to reconnect with you.”

To prepare for an emergency and pos-sible shelter-in-place, Keifer recommends creating a few emergency kits that can last at least three days.

“These kits will enable you and your family to respond to an emergency more quickly. It is advisable to keep a small amount of cash or traveler’s checks at your home, within your kit or at a safe place where you can quickly access them in case of evacuation, as ATMs and credit cards may not work during a disaster.”

Knowing the proper paperwork to have on hand, having a family plan, and know-ing your resources are the key factors in being ready during a disaster.

1. Turn off window air conditioners when you leave a room for several hours.

2. Keep your cooling system well tuned with periodic mainte-nance by a pro-fessional service person. Ask the service person how the energy efficiency of the system could be increased.

3. In the cool-ing season, draw draperies, blinds, and shades indoors to keep out direct sunlight.

4. Select white or light colored exterior paint be-cause it will reflect heat rather than absorb it.

5. Select reflective roofing materials. Reflective roofs are usually cost-competitive with - and some-times less expensive than - traditional roofs.

Now that's a BRITE idea!

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Sailors with opinions or ideas about how to best develop enlisted leaders are being asked to provide input on two Navy courses that are currently under review, said the review project's leader Sept. 4.

The Center for Personal and Professional Develop-ment (CPPD) is the Curriculum Control Authority for the Petty Officer Second and Petty Officer First Class Selectee Leadership courses. CPPD administers the courses' content, which is then taught to Sailors by their commands. As part of its course review process, CPPD is conducting a large-scale, fleet-wide research project to assess the current courses' value and effectiveness, according to Don Squibb, outcome and assessment manager for CPPD's Requirements Directorate. The project is called Enlisted Leadership Requirements Review (ELRR).

"We're collecting data for the ELRR project from across geographic regions, paygrades, ratings and com-munities to evaluate the current state of enlisted leader-ship training for first and second class petty officers and ask Sailors what training they need," said Squibb, who is the project lead. "We're casting a wide net because we need to define the 'what is' from the fleet's perspective before we can recommend the best possible updates to the training that CPPD provides our Navy's junior enlisted leaders."

The ELRR project consists of CPPD teams visit-ing fleet concentration areas globally to conduct focus groups, which are each approximately two hours in length. The primary focus groups consist of nine active duty petty officers each (three E-4s, three E-5s, and three E-6s). Additional groups for chiefs and officers are being planned and will be held if deemed necessary after a re-view of the initial findings from the primary focus groups.

CPPD's focus group facilitators will gather fleet rec-ommendations on delivery and content improvements for the revised Enlisted Leadership Training curriculum. Squibb said the questions center on active duty Sailors' experiences in their current leadership roles. Partici-pants will also be asked to provide ideas for training top-ics based on their own perspectives of what they believe they need to know, or in the case of more senior petty officers, what they wish they'd known prior to assuming higher leadership positions.

Commands that agree to participate in the project will nominate their focus group participants on the basis of paygrade, according to Squibb. Sailors not selected to participate in a focus group but wanting to voice an opinion can provide their input by completing a survey.

"While the primary focus group participants will be active duty Sailors, Reserve component Sailors are in-vited to participate in the online surveys," he said. "The ELRR is focusing on training specifically for active duty Sailors. The training for reserve Sailors will be reviewed at a later, undetermined date."

The online surveys are open to E-1 through O-6 Ac-tive or Reserve component Sailors. Three surveys are planned, according to Squibb. The first survey is currently open and assesses how much time Sailors spend on technical, management and leadership tasks.

"The online surveys will assess relevant issues driv-ing leadership training and professional development requirements," he said.

All feedback will remain anonymous. Squibb said the information CPPD collects through the focus groups and surveys will not be attributed to any single command or Sailor. Narrative comments will be aggregated and quantified for analysis, which CPPD will use to develop course revision recommendations.

CPPD Executive Director, Doug Kibbey said the success of the ELRR project is dependent on Sailors'

degree of participation. "We continually look for ways to refine and improve

training for the fleet," said Kibbey. "For any of CPPD's course reviews, fleet feedback is key to formulating the best possible training for our Sailors' development and Navy mission readiness. The ELRR project is especially dependent on Sailors' input - in fact it's vital to ensur-ing we provide the best possible leader development opportunities and relevant training that supports the fleet's needs."

Sailors interested in participating in the first online survey can access it at https://www.research.net/s/LDRSHP_WORKTIME. Links for follow-on surveys will be announced via Sailors' chain of command, as well as through command career counselors, Navy Counselors, command enlisted leaders and Navy College Offices.
