The Rota Navy Exchange (NEX) won the Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) Bingham Award, reporting revenue of more than $20 million in fiscal year 2014.

The NEXCOM Bingham Award was established in 1979 to recognize outstanding performance in operations, customer service, and community support. The award was named in honor of Capt. W.H. Bingham who was the chief executive officer of R.H. Macy’s company and was appointed by the secretary of the Navy in 1946 to lead an advisory board for the establishment of what is now NEXCOM.

“We worked very hard and had a great year. It was very exciting to learn that we won,” said Sheri Coronado, NEX store manager. “The team we have is phenomenal. Without them we wouldn’t be able to do it. We really try to keep up with the [Forward Deployed Naval Forces] FDNF rollout and make sure we have enough merchandise. We worked really hard and tirelessly to make sure it was seamless for the customer.”

The NEX saw a 17.9 percent increase in total sales from year before and 19.1 increase in gross profit.

"I want to emphasize that it’s a group effort,” said Coronado. “If it weren’t for the associates doing everything they do everyday this wouldn’t have been possible. It’s an award that truly speaks to them and how to they treat our customers.”

The NEX will be presented a plaque for their efforts this September during an awards ceremony.

Buenos Dias Rota!We are roughly in the middle of the “101 critical days of

summer” - that period between Memorial Day and Labor Day when a disproportionate share of injuries and accidents occur. These accidents tend to happen when people let their guard down a bit or don’t plan things all the way through. I ask that you continue to focus on safety in everything you do, whether driving across town or across the Iberian Peninsula, spending the day at the beach, or just grilling in the back yard. Before undertaking any of these activities, take a moment to think

about the potential risks… ‘Is my car adequately maintained? Do I have the right sunscreen and am I hydrated? Are the butane hoses and burner on my grill functioning properly?’ The Navy has invested large amounts of money over our careers to teach us about safety and what hazards to look for when working, driving, exercising, etc. Please keep the focus on safety, and let’s get to Labor Day with zero injuries.

We are also in the middle of Commander, Navy Region Eu-rope, Africa, and Southwest Asia’s July "Energy Biggest Loser” (EBL) Energy Competition where the top three installations that show the greatest decrease, percentage wise, from a baseline normalized over the last two years will win $70,000, $50,000 and $30,000, respectfully, for base beautification. Naval Station Rota is holding fast at second place, but I’m confident that we

will continue our energy saving ways these next two weeks. Keep up the great work!

Lastly I want to recognize and thank Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) for another awesome job putting together another great event to celebrate the 239th anniversary of our nation’s independence. There are many commands and indi-viduals that contributed to and participated in the planning and execution of the Independence Fest. In no particular order I want to express my gratitude to:

- Doug Hasselbring, MWR Food & Beverage team led by Robert Wood, Tim Drake and Mike Gray

- Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 11, our Fire Department, Security and Safety

- Our guest singer, Ms. Megan Jones, who sang the National Anthem

- Our Public Affairs department and American Forces Network- All of the NAVSTA Private Organizations- All of the individual volunteers who also helped make this

event happen. I also want to recognize and thank our sponsors who play a

large role in supporting our events:- Luz Shopping Center and IKEA- The United Services Automobile Association (USAA)- Autovillage Military Sales- Military Autosource- The Shamrock Bar and Eatery - Hotel Playa de la Luz- IndraThis was another huge Team Rota effort and the bar has

been raised for next year. Have a great week and thanks for all that you do!

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 regulation 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 damaged as a result of people attempting to ship alcohol through the mail system.

The CoasTline | July 16, 2015 3

Or maybe the bigger question is “What could you do with an extra $31 million dollars?” What if I told you that collectively, we could save ourselves a minimum of $31 million dollars a year by doing one simple thing? Yes, we are saving the Navy money, but as taxpayers we are actually saving our own money too.

How can we do it? Simple, Turn off your com-puter! I know, crazy right?

It seems like common sense, but if common sense were common, it would just be called sense. I took the time to do the math and the results surprised me. So if you bear with me, I’ll share with you what I learned. I promise the thought “no way” will cross your mind.

Our computers run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We do not turn them off as a matter of convenience, so that the mystical creatures inside the magic box can occasionally “push updates.”

With all the technology available at our fin-gertips, isn’t there a better way? How hard is it to send a network wide message letting users know that an update is coming? You could remind everyone to save their work, and then push the update. Schedule this during normal lunch times and most users would welcome the excuse to get away from their desk. We are talking about millions of dollars and that’s just within the United States Navy. What were the numbers I used to come to this stunning conclusion? I’m glad you asked. I got to $31 million dollars in savings using the following assumptions.

An average active computer consumes about 200 watts of electricity per hour, and about one-third of that amount when in sleep mode. I used an average workday and an average work week to discover that we are using

859,820 watts or 859.82 kilowatts per year, per computer. At .14 cents per kilowatt, that is an annual electric bill of $120.37 a year. If we turned them off at the end of the work day we can reduce our consumption and cost by more than 50 percent! Our new electric bill is only $58.24 per year, per computer. We saved $62.13 per year, per computer just by turning them off!

Here’s where it gets amazing. The exact number is sketchy but I took what I could find and guestimated” the rest. In 2008, Navy and Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI)

claimed to have more than 363,000 computers. Add seven years and all the ships and overseas commands that have computers and I rounded up to an even 500,000 computers in the Navy. That $62.13 a year of

saving, when multiplied by 500,000 computers equals $ 31,067,400.00!

Not only will turning off the computers save money, it’s also good for the environment. The production of electricity creates carbon emis-sions, the numbers get crazy when dealing with carbon offsets but on average, producing a single watt of electricity creates 0.291666667 grams of carbon dioxide. Much like compound interest, over time the numbers start to add up. That 0.291666667 grams builds to kilograms and by the end of the year your single computer has produced 250 kg. Does the metric system con-fuse you? That is five hundred fifty one pounds of carbon dioxide! From one computer! The “turn-off plan,” as I have started calling it, would reduce carbon emissions by 121 kilograms per year, per computer, for a Navy-wide savings of 64,723,750 kilograms! Care to know what that is in pounds? It is 142,691,443 pounds, the weight of 381 Lockheed C-5 Galaxy airplanes!

Like any other late night infomercial, “but wait, there’s more!” Not only can we save buckets of money, not only can we reduce our carbon footprint, by turning off your computer every single time you can also defend against cyber-terrorism.

That’s right, hackers love access points! More access points means more opportunities for cyber-terrorist to successfully access our networks. So with a little plan-ning and a little effort, we can save money, save the planet and fight terrorism!

July is “Fruits and Vegetables Month” and in order to have a healthier population, it is recommended by Un i t ed S ta tes Depa r tmen t o f Agriculture (USDA) to focus on eating a healthy diet. A diet that focuses on foods and beverages that help achieve and maintain a healthy weight, promote health and prevent disease. According to the Dietary Guidelines for

Americans 2010, a healthy eating plan emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat mill. It also includes lean meats, poultry and fish, beans, eggs and nuts. Healthy eating does not have to break your bank. Here are some useful tips to keep in mind from http://www.choosemyplate.gov; use fresh vegetables and fruits that are in season, plan out your meals, make your grocery list and stick to it, buy small amounts frequently, buy fruits

and vegetables in their simplest form. Pre-cut, pre-washed, ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables cost much more. Another way to save money and eat healthy is by starting your own garden. You can turn this into a fun activity for the whole family and don’t forget to always check your local newspaper, online and at store for coupons and discounts. For more tips visit http://www.choosemyplate.gov and stay Healthy For Life!

USS Porter Participates in Exercise Breeze 2015Senior members of the guided-missile destroyer

USS Porter (DDG 78) attended the Exercise Breeze 2015 pre-sail conference in Varna, Bulgaria, July 7 and will continue to participate in the exercise until it’s completion.

Breeze 2015 is a Bulgarian led exercise. The U.S. goal is to train and exercise multinational and multi-warfare capabilities with the participating nations. The focus of the exercise is to enhance unit interoperability, anti-submarine warfare, and maritime interdiction operations, among other warfare capabilities.

The exercise includes an in port pre-sail phase; a three-day underway phase; and an in port evaluation phase.

"This exercise and port visit provides us the opportunity to meet our naval counterparts, exchange

ideas, and work together for regional stability,” said Cmdr. Blair Guy, USS Porter commanding officer. “My crew is excited about this exercise with our Bulgarian and NATO allies, and very much appreciates their warm hospitality,"

U.S. forces scheduled to participate are the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Porter and a P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft and aircrew assigned to Patrol Squadron (VP) 47.

Forces from the U.S., Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Greece and NATO standing groups will participate.

Porter, forward deployed to Rota, Spain, is on a routine patrol conducting naval operations with allies and partners in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in order to advance security and stability in the Black Sea region.

CECN April XiengsomeTeam Rota in the Spotlight

Photo by MC2 (SW) Grant Wamack

A native of Waialua, Hawaii, Construction Electrician Constructionman April Xiengsome joined the Navy in 2013. After completing basic training at Great Lakes, Illinois, she attended Construction “A” School at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas for four months. In September 2013, she arrived in Rota, Spain and joined the Public Works Department (PWD), which is a forward-deployed extension of Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA).

Xiengsome works in the preventative medicine division of NAVFAC. Before this, she worked for a year in the environmental division where she conducted water tests and audit inspections. Currently, she maintains air conditioning and water filters around base. She also volunteers with the Rota Girl Scouts and the Seabee Ball committee.

“My job is interesting,” said Xiengsome. “It’s a different environment to work and learn in. Plus, I get to meet a lot of new faces around base.”

Xiengsome said her big accomplishment thus far is being selected as the bluejacket of the quarter for the NAVFAC EURAFSWA.

Xiengsome believes a lot of what she has accomplished in the Navy revolves around the choices she makes and the following quote illustrates this.

“The 3 C’s of life: choices, chances, and changes. You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change,” said Anonymous.

Have you ever felt like you didn’t have enough time reserved for your family or not nearly enough time to study and focus on college? Well there’s a little known program that might be able to help you achieve your dreams.

The Career Intermission Pilot Program allows top-performing Sailors both enlisted and officers to take a temporary break from active duty ranging from one to three years to pursue a college degree. The program is meant to enhance retention in critical skill sets while allowing greater flexibility in career paths of service members.

Common examples for applying to the program include starting a family, pursing higher education, taking care of critical elder care obligations or volunteering for international aid work.

“I think it’s a complex program,” said Navy Counselor 1st Class Ashley Vanrens. “It could be great for some and bad for others. It depends on what the Sailor is looking for. If you’re looking to make the Navy a career but you also would like a college degree or have some sort of life experience that you wouldn’t be able to have in your younger life, maybe the program is for you. But if you are a Sailor not looking to make it a career, it may not be the best option.”

Those selected for the program will receive a

monthly stipend of one-fifteenth of their basic pay. Additionally, they will retain active duty Tricare medical benefits, and are even eligible for a one-time funded move to anywhere in the United States when they enter the program.

“It looks competitive,” said Vanrens. “Only 20 officer and 20 enlisted [slots] per year. When you look at the Navy as whole that’s not a lot of people. Just be aware there are a lot of risks that come with it, but also don’t put all of your eggs in that basket. There are a lot of people who are skeptical about a program like this, but you might end up being one of the people who end up getting picked.”

All program participants will return to active duty at the end of the period and will incur a two-to-one service obligation for every month in the program (served in addition to any previously existing obligation). Time spent in the Individual Ready Reserve will not count toward retirement, computation of total years of commissioned service, or high-year tenure limitations.

The Navy is currently trying to expand the program and has asked Congress to increase the billets to 400, widen eligibility, and make participation more flexible. If the proposal is passed, details will be included in the 2016 Defense Authorization Act.

Sailors who are interested in the program can visit http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/tflw/Pages/CIPP.aspx.

Pain, suffering, and tragedy strike us all at some point. We can run, but we’ll never outrun life and the long arm of its brutal nature. Sometimes one thing hammers us after another; death of a loved one, divorce and betrayal, legal entanglements that threaten freedom and career, cancer and diseases that eat away at our physical vitality and so on. Sometimes it strikes us personally and directly or it can strike those we love.

In the latter, it’s often difficult to know what to say or do. We know we must come alongside one another for the painful journey because that’s how we roll in the military. We take care of one another. We watch

one another’s backs. But how we do this in the event of tremendous grief and tragedy can be quite difficult and even uncomfortable.

Here are a few tips that should help us toward mastering the art of coming alongside one another during difficult and trying times:

Strategize for long-term care.Realize that coming alongside one another is a journey, and often, a long one.

It’s not a quick tune-up, unless of course, that’s all you are able to offer at that particular point and time. Assuming you can offer more, plan to assist over the long term. When tragedy first strikes, there is an initial tidal wave of care and support for the victim and their family, but after a bit of time passes, that support often wanes, sometimes leaving the person and their family to feel forgotten and quite alone. Strategize for both short and long term care.

Don’t neglect the “do” partWe are usually quite good at doing things to support our shipmates: making

meals, running errands, visiting at the hospital, etc. But it’s also common to fall into the trap of thinking everyone else is doing what’s needed and all is taken care of. Unfortunately, it’s not always the case and there is plenty of “doing” left to do.

Let your relationship be your guideNot sure how much you can do or what you can say? Use the depth and breadth

of your relationship with the victim to guide you. If you are very close, you will be able to say and do more intimate things during this period of suffering. If you are an acquaintance, then tread lightly and wait for an invitation to delve deeper into the suffering. If you are unsure, ask; don’t assume. It’s as simple, and yet as hard as saying “Would it be okay if I…?”

Avoid “at least” statementsIf you find yourself starting a statement by saying “At least…” please stop right

there. While it is usually true that there is a silver lining and that good can come

from suffering, it usually takes quite some time to get there and statements like these tend to minimize the pain and make them feel like you just don’t understand the gravity of their situation.

Take the initiativeDon’t rely on them to call you when you simply leave it at “Call me if you need

anything.” There’s nothing wrong with the offering, but many will rarely take you up on the offer because they don’t want to be a burden. Be proactive. Think about what they might need specifically and launch an initiative. Contact their network of friends to rally the troops and unite resources. A networked, teamwork approach will eliminate redundancy, distribute the care so that it’s not shouldered by just a few and ensure all the needs are met.

Practice empathyEmpathy begets empathy. Practice and you will get better. I know it may seem

odd that I’m suggesting practice, but when you begin to truly enter the pain of others, there is something quite divine or mystical that occurs within. Your ability to empathize deepens when it’s exercised. It’s no longer a stranger, but a friend who has come over for hot coffee and good conversation. You know how it looks, how it feels, and what to do with it.

Honor them by living life deeply and fullyWe often feel guilty about going on vacations, fine dining and every other joy

in our lives while our friends and family are still trudging through the darkness in their world of suffering. We don’t want to post on social media because they will see we are still having a good time while their lives are falling apart and it feels wrong. But we must go on. We honor them by fully enjoying the seasons of goodness with what life is left in all our veins. It is, after all, what they truly wish for us.

Rest and refillWhen Jesus was on the earth, he broke open his body and poured himself

out for the good of humanity and the good of the world. We do the same when we care for one another and this can leave us empty and exhausted. Take time to recharge your body, your energy and your health. Being human, we are not a source of infinite resources and if we don’t fill up, we won’t have anything left to give. What’s more, if we injure or break ourselves in the process by pushing ourselves beyond capacity, we will be out of the fight completely. Rest and refill so that you can continue alongside for the whole of the journey.

Above all, whether you do it like a pro or stumble along nervously like a novice, the most important thing is to come alongside your fellow service member and their families and friends. Your presence is what matters most. Follow these tips. Practice, and you will get better. Get in the fight!

Empanada de Carne - Summer Meat PieThis week we want to share with you a very

simple recipe to prepare, a delicious meat pie. Ideal to enjoy this summer on the beach, in the countryside, with friends, family. I am sure you will love it! We will explain to you how to prepare the dough, but if you don't have time, you can use two sheets of puff pastry (hojaldre) from the supermarket and your meat pie will still turn out very rich and very yummy.

INGREDIENTS• 2/3 lbs of dice-sized cubed pork• 1 onion• 1 red bell pepper• 2 eggs• 1 egg yolk

• 1/3 cup of raisins• 1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp flour• 1 oz or 1 3/4 Tbsp of Baker’s yeast• Olive oil• Salt

HOW TO PREPARE:• First, prepare the pie dough. Mix 1 1/2 cups plus two tablespoons of flour with a pinch of salt. • Incorporate the yeast diluted in 1/4 cup (50 ml) of warm water. Then add 1/4 cup (50 ml) of olive oil and knead. Make a ball and let it rest in a bowl, covered with

a cloth until it doubles in volume.• Immerse the raisins in warm water and let them soak for 30 minutes.• Boil the eggs in salted water for 10 minutes. Cool them in cold water, peel them and slice them.• Clean the red bell pepper, wash and dry it. Peel the onion too and finely dice both of them. • Sauté pepper and onion for 5 minutes in a pan with the bottom covered in oil.• Add the cubed pork and sauté it as well. Then add the drained raisins and stir everything well.• Preheat the oven to 356 ºF (180 ºC). Spread the dough on a floured table surface and flatten with a rolling pin. Cut the piecrust in half. Cut the edges square and

keep the edges for later use. Place one piece on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. We then spread the meat and raisin filling in the middle and cover this with hard-boiled egg slices. Then cover with the second piece of dough and seal the edges.

• Cut the dough into strips and interlace these strips over the top of the pie to form a lattice. Brush the surface with beaten egg yolk and bake the pie for 25 minutes.• Our exquisite “Empanada de Carne” summer meat pie is ready to serve.

1. When cooking on the stove top, match the size of the pan to the heating element. More heat will get to the pan; less will be lost to the surrounding air.

2. W h e n operating a clothes dryer, keep the lint screen clean. Remove lint after each load. Lint impedes the flow of air in the dryer, which makes your clothes take longer to dry and requires the machine to use more energy.

3. If your clothes dryer has an automatic dry cycle, use it. Over-drying merely wastes energy.

4. Try to use energy-intensive appliances such as dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, and electric ovens in the early morning or late evening hours to help reduce peak load energy use.

5. Don’t keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold. Recommended temperatures are 38 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit for the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator and five degrees Fahrenheit for the freezer section. (If you have a separate freezer for long-term storage, it should be kept at zero degrees Fahrenheit.)

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 regulation 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 damaged as a result of people attempting to ship alcohol through the mail system.

Mail ReMindeRs

Identity theft, when a person wrongfully uses your Social Security number or other personally identifiable information (PII) to commit fraud, can happen to anyone. But it doesn't have to happen to you.

Taking the proper precautions before-hand can help reduce your chances of being at risk.

Once thieves have your personal infor-mation they can drain your bank account, run up charges on your credit cards, open new utility accounts or get medical treat-ment on your health insurance. An identity thief can file a tax refund in your name and get your refund and, in some cases, give your name to the police during an arrest. The road to recovery can be a long one.

Here are some tips on how to avoid becoming a victim:

- Keep your documents in a safe place at home, and lock your wallet or purse in a safe place at work.

- Limit what you carry with you, when you go out take only the identification, credit and debit cards you need.

- Opt out of prescreened offers of credit and insurance by mail by calling 1-888-567-8688 or go to https://www.optoutprescreen.com.

- Make sure you know who is getting your personal or financial information. Don't give out personal information on the phone, through the mail or over the Internet unless you've initiated the contact or know who you're dealing with.

- Monitor your account statements and immediately report any unusual activity to your financial institution

If you are a victim of identity theft, the time to act is now. Go to http://www.idenitytheft.gov to find out what steps you need to take.

Identity Theft: It Can Happen to You


PUBLISHER'SCORNER

By Christina Pamplona


A Defense Department working group will study the policy and readiness implications of welcoming transgender persons to serve openly in the military and its work will presume they can do so unless objective and practical impediments are identified, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced July 13.

In a statement announcing the working group, Carter said that over the last 14 years of conflict, the Defense Department has proven itself to be a learning organization.

“This is true in war, where we have adapted to counterinsurgency, unmanned systems, and new battlefield requirements such as [mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles],” Carter said. “It is also true with respect to institutional activities, where we have learned from how we repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," from our efforts to eliminate sexual assault in the military, and from our work to open up ground combat positions to women.

“Throughout this time,” he continued, “transgender men and women in uniform have been there with us, even as they often had to serve in silence alongside their fellow comrades in arms.”

The Defense Department's current regulations regarding transgender service members are outdated and are causing uncertainty that distracts commanders from DoD’s core missions, the secretary said.

“At a time when our troops have learned from experience that the most important qualification for service members should be whether they're able and willing to do their job, our officers and enlisted personnel are faced with certain rules that tell them

the opposite,” he added. “Moreover, we have transgender soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines - real, patriotic Americans - who I know are being hurt by an outdated, confusing, inconsistent approach that's contrary to our value of service and individual merit.”

First, DoD will create a working group to study over the next six months the policy and readiness implications of welcoming transgender persons to serve openly. Brad Carson, acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, will lead the group, which will be composed of military and civilian personnel representing all the military services and the Joint Staff and will report directly to Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work.

“At my direction,” Carter said, “the working group will start with the presumption that transgender persons can serve openly without adverse impact on military effectiveness and readiness, unless and except where objective, practical impediments are identified.”

Second, the secretary said, he is directing that decision authority in all administrative discharges for those diagnosed with gender dysphoria or who identify themselves as transgender must be elevated to Carson, who will make determinations on all potential separations.

“As I've said before, we must ensure that everyone who's able and willing to serve has the full and equal opportunity to do so, and we must treat all our people with the dignity and respect they deserve,” Carter said. “Going forward, the Department of Defense must and will continue to improve how we do both. Our military's future strength depends on it.”

Working Group to Study Implications of Transgender ServiceBy Defense Media Activity

Did you know ... civilians working overseas can be eligible to fly space-a? Travel is allowed to U.S. citizen civilian employees of the Armed Forces who are eligible for government-funded transportation to the United States at tour completion (including NAF employees). The two categories authorized are Emergency Leave Unfunded Travel and Environmental Morale Leave (EML).

Emergency Leave Unfunded Travel is for verified and immediate family emergencies. EML is for sponsors in EML status, and also for their dependents traveling with them in EML status. Civilian dependents may also fly unaccompanied while stationed overseas if they meet the following authorized criteria: verified emergencies, sched-uled entrance exams for entry into any of the U.S. service academies, and enlisting in one of the Armed Forces when local enlistment overseas is not authorized. Stateside space-a travel is not authorized for Department of Defense (DoD) civilians at any time. For specific details on space-a eligibility, please contact your local passenger terminal or visit http://www.amc.af.mil/amctravel/index.asp.
