April 9, 2015 - The Coastline

The interACT Performance Troupe vis-ited Rota’s base theater to deliver unique, scenario-based Sexual Assault Preven-tion and Response (SAPR) training to service members and civilians, Monday and Tuesday.

interACT is a na-tionally renowned social justice per-formance troupe based out of Cali-fornia State Uni-versity Long Beach. The troupe is com-prised of 30 actors who have received victim advocacy training, and then pro-vide interactive training in different social subjects including sexual assault, racism and homophobia.

“April is Sexual Assault Awareness

and Prevention Month and we have interACT here to provide an interactive performance that highlights bystander intervention,” said Capt. Greg Pekari, commander, U.S. Naval Activities Spain. “It’s a great opportunity for the audience to participate and for everyone to get great training.”

The troupe’s performance, which was developed in collaboration with experts in sexua l t rauma and based on cur-rent research, is designed to help audience mem-bers recognize the

warning signs of abusive relations, bet-ter understand how individuals feel after being raped, and learn how to effectively intervene in order to prevent assaults.

“We are a little different than traditional theater,” said Kelly Pfleider, interACT lead

facilitator. “Typically, the audience has that line that separates them from the ac-tors on stage. We obliterate that line. We believe in co-creating the show together with the audience. Instead of doing the show for you, we do the show with you.”

During the performance, the troupe acted out different situations revolving around sexual assault, while balancing thought-provoking conversation with humor. Sailors volunteered to participate in several scenarios on stage and others sitting in the crowd interacted from their seats.

“It was interactive, and audience par-ticipation makes a big difference when it comes to learning,” said Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Brian Berkley. “I went up on stage a few times during the skits and was a little nervous. I’ve had friends go through things like this [sexual assault] so this topic hits home for me. I can be the person someone can turn to if something like this happens again.”

Timothy Maurer, the naval program manager for interACT, said their pro-grams have been proven effective in multiple published studies and they have performed around the world.

“The fact that the audience members are coming up on stage and being ac-tive in the performance really makes a difference,” said Maurer. “It makes the message have more of a lasting impact on them.”

The troupe originated in the school's communications studies department and performs for incoming college freshmen, athletes and military members. Since July 2014, they have conducted 89 training performances in 26 different locations, reaching more than 27,000 service mem-bers, said Maurer.

The Department of Defense and the military communities celebrate April as the Month of the Military Child. Designated as such by Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger in

1986, this month was established to underscore the important role children play in the Armed Forces community, and to recognize that service members aren’t the only ones sacrificing for their country. As of today approximately 1.2 million children have a parent on active duty. In the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, about 40 percent of service members have at least one dependent child under the age of 18.

"Although young, these brave sons and daughters stand in stead-

fast support of their military parents through moves and deploy-ments," said a Department of Defense official. "The Month of the Military Child is an opportunity to recognize military children and youth for their heroism, character, courage, sacrifices and continued resilience."

Military children are amazing. They can change schools,

on average, four to six times over the course of their parents' military career. They deal with long separa-t ions from their parent(s) – who aren’t going on a business trip, but deploying six to nine months on a ship or up to a year or more on foreign soil in a combat zone. They endure holidays, birthdays, and major mile-stones without their military loved one. In the worst cases, they must deal with their loved one’s ultimate sacrifice. Despite everything that’s thrown at them, they are strong, brave, and adaptable.

Though they leave friends behind, military children also have the opportunity to meet new friends, to see a lot of different places, and to experience various cultures from all around the world. our children are certainly an inspiration and source of pride. They are smart, respectful, heroic, and tough, so I want to thank our military children for their service to their family and to our nation.

For the community’s information, the Department of Defense European Activity will Purple Up! on Wednesday to show global solidarity in appreciation of our military children. I encourage everyone to take part and show their support! Thank you!

Emergency Management is celebrating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week Sunday to April 18.

This annual celebration honors the thousands of men and women who respond to emergency calls, dispatch emergency first responders and equipment, and render life-saving assistance to the world’s citizens.

The 15 Sailors performing dispatch operations aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain are a vital and critical link between our public safety agencies and you, the citizens they protect and serve. They are certified as Department of Defense Telecommunicators, answer-ing calls for service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

They answer ap-proximately 36,000 telephone calls for service annually while also monitor-ing a fire alarm re-porting system and a physical security Intrusion Detection Alarm system.

Please join us in recognizing and

thanking them for their public-safety dedication and professionalism! For emergency assistance call:

Celebrate National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week

April is Alcohol Awareness Month so here are some tips de-signed to help service members, retirees and their families under-stand their alcohol use.

The goal of the month is to raise consciousness and awareness about alcohol. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, approximately 17.6 million American adults abuse alcohol or become alcohol de-pendent, and the highest alcohol-related problems usually occur in 18 to 29-year-olds. The earlier an individual begins to consume alcohol, the more likely they will develop alcohol-related problems later in life. These alcohol statistics also apply to the military popula-tion. Education and awareness can change attitudes and behav-iors about excessive alcohol use.

Tips for Cutting Back on Alcohol

- Keep track of how much you drink.

- Write a list of reasons why you

want to cut back.- Count and measure your

drinks accurately. - Set limits as to how many times

per day or days per week you will drink.

- Get support from friends and family to help you reduce drinking.

- Talk to a professional if you have difficulty cutting back or quit-ting alcohol.

- Pace yourself and sip slowly; ensure you drink no more than one standard drink per hour.

- Eat food while drinking so the alcohol is absorbed into your body at a slower rate.

- Find alternatives to drinking: healthy activities, hobbies, or so-cializing with non-drinkers.

- Identify and avoid triggers such as people, places, or things that contribute to your alcohol use.

- Develop a plan to deal with urges; talk to someone who is en-couraging and motivating.

- Never give up, keep trying, and you are likely to succeed with addressing your alcohol use.

Who Should Not Consume

Alcohol- People driving or engaging

in activities that require skills and alertness.

- Persons taking medications that may interfere with and contra-dict alcohol use.

- Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

- Individuals on duty or at work.- Anyone under the legal age

to drink.There are resources available

to assist you if you have questions or concerns. Contact your chain of command, your health care provider, or chaplain. Additionally, there are online resources at your fingertips. As always, you can contact your health Promotion and Wellness Team at 956-82-3350. Stay Health for Life!

Alcohol Awareness MonthFrom USNHR Health Promotions


In November 2013, the Victims’ Legal Counsel Pro-gram officially opened its doors as 15 active duty and Reserve Judge Advocates became the Department of the Navy’s first Victims’ Legal Counsels (VLCs).

With cooperation from Naval Station Rota and quick coordination from the Fleet and Family Support Center staff, I was able to stand up the Navy’s first VLC program in Europe. over the next year and a half, the VLC program gained momentum and a significant presence as our program grew to 29 Judge Advocates in 24 locations worldwide, and our client base reached over 1,000 individuals. There are now three Navy VLCs serving the Europe, Af-rica, Southwest Asia Region, includ-ing its deployed forces. The VLC program is designed to complement the support provided by Sexual As-sault Response Coordinators (SARC) and victim advocates by offering legal advice, representation, and advocacy for victims of sexual assaults. VLCs further strengthen the support provided to victims in our military justice system by ensuring that they have a voice and a choice in the process.

This year’s Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month theme is “Eliminate Sexual Assault: Know your part. Do your part.” That theme speaks volumes. For me and other VLCs, as laws and policies change we are constantly learning (“knowing”) our part and striving to do it correctly and successfully. Being a part of a continu-ously evolving program has been both exciting and chal-lenging. Since 2013, additional laws and policies have been established that directly impact the success of our program making it possible to successfully advocate for our clients. Both the 2014 and 2015 National Defense Authorization Acts codified reforms to the military justice system and sexual assault response programs. A major

theme in these laws is the expansion and protection of victims’ rights--rights that include the opportunity to ap-pear at court proceedings, to be heard through counsel, and the protection of certain privileges.

Laws are not the only changes that I have witnessed. Since walking off the rotator in June 2012, I have seen an increased awareness of stopping sexual assaults and promoting prevention and intervention. It has been an honor and pleasure to take part in NAVSTA Rota’s ground-breaking training program, Rota 25. This infor-

mal yet active-participant training has provided me the perfect opportunity to speak to our younger

Sailors, Marines and Airmen on a number of topics ranging from court-martials,

the definition of consent, and victims’ rights. Even Big Navy has ramped up its awareness of the stresses and consequences to victims that may follow a report, investigation and prosecution of sexual assaults. During her recent visit, the Vice Chief

of Naval operations highlighted the importance of ensuring that reporters

of sexual assaults are not retaliated against or ostracized by their commanding

officers or peers. In a few days, I will be transferring to my next duty

station in Guam. My replacement, Lt. Alex homme, has arrived with his family from Corpus Christi, Texas. his previous assignments have provided him the opportunity to see all sides of a criminal investigative process and courts-martial. I have no doubt he will be an excellent advocate and representative for the VLC program and Naval Station Rota. To make an appointment to speak to the VLC, contact the SARC or your command’s victim advocate. You may also contact Lt.homme directly at 727-1711 or stop by his office located in the Fleet and Family Support Center . Finally, I want to thank everyone at Naval Station Rota and the tenant commands for their continued service to our Navy and our country. Muchas gracias and hasta luego.

‘Doing our Part: Legal Care, Advice, Support’By Lt. Carina Podgorski, JAGC, USNVictims’LegalCounsel 1. Replace light switches with motion or occu-

pancy sensors. Good locations include the garage and exterior or security lighting areas.

2. Select your lamp shades with energy efficiency in mind because they can make a big difference. A lamp with a light-colored shade, espec ia l ly one tha t ’s l i ned in white or highly transparent, will give the best light. Tall, narrow shades or short, dark-colored shades let through less light, which may force you to turn on another light for sufficient illumination.

3. When you decorate, think light colors. Dark colors absorb light, encouraging you to use more (or higher wattage) lights to light the room.

As a reminder to all hands, the shipment of al-cohol through the U.S. Postal System is unauthor-ized. 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.

Twenty second-graders from Brownie Troop 25 Rota, along with their Troop Leader, Jessica Arther, and Assistant Troop Leader, Melissa Rogers, braved the rain March 24, to visit and care for the dogs and cats at the Rota Animal Welfare League (RAWL) shelter.

Troop 25 came to help with the dog shift at RAWL, feeding and providing fresh water for the dogs, as well as cleaning the pens. The sun came out so all the dogs had a chance to go for walks with the Troop 25, and some dogs even enjoyed all the hugs and kisses they were given along the way. Don't worry, the cats

were not forgotten and received some loving from the girls as well.

Troop 25 also presented a check to RAWL for $300, which they raised selling cookies. The girls got the opportunity to choose which community project they would like to donate their money. They chose RAWL, which is an organization that connects cats and dogs with new homes while caring for them until those new homes are found.

The RAWL volunteers and animals were extremely grateful, not only for the check, but for Brownie Troop 25 and their leaders braving the imperfect weather to volunteer.

When ready to depart Naval Station Rota, you will be authorized to ship one motorcycle or moped as part of your personal property shipment. This will not affect your entitlement to ship one privately owned vehicle (PoV) through the local Vehicle Processing Center (VPC).

Motorcycles imported to the United States with an engine capacity 50 cc and up intended for use on public roads must have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a Department of Transportation (DoT) label affixed to the chassis showing proof of compliance with U.S. specifications.

If the EPA label is missing or unreadable, the owner must obtain a letter from EPA. The EPA office can be reached by commercial phone at (734) 214-4100, email: [email protected] or their website http://www.epa.gov. You can also obtain this information from the manufac-turer. The letter must identify the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stating that the motorcycle was manufac-tured in U.S. with an “engine and catalytic converter” EPA certified. When requested, a memorandum from the owner must be provided explaining why the label is missing or unreadable.

March 27, Spanish 1 students in Maribel Bastidas’ class at David Glasgow Farragut high School became exchange students for one day and visited the second-ary school, Javier de Uriarte, to learn about the Spanish school system and to improve communication skills.

The visit started at the school cafeteria where the students had a chance to order food and drinks in Span-ish. Already divided by grade level, when the bell rang they were escorted to their classes by students of their same age. Like any other student taking a class, they took notes in Chemistry, Math, Spanish Language Arts, Science, Ethics, Religion, and participated in an informal conversational exchange in Tutoria, a class similar to Seminar. American students completed their observa-tional worksheets where they compared and contrasted both cultures to later use as a guide to write a reflection.

During recess, groups of Spanish teens approached the American group and took them around the school for a tour. The visit provided a unique opportunity to be inside a Spanish school and to use language skills to enhance students’ knowledge of the language and culture of our host nation.

The cultural exchange was possible thanks to the coordination of Foreign Language teachers, Bastidas, and Ana Guerra, representing Javier de Uriarte.

In 1979, Bob Dylan touched a cultural nerve with his Grammy award-winning song, “Gotta Serve Somebody.” Dylan sings, “Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” Ev-erybody serves somebody. Whether you are a Sailor,

Seabee, Airman or Marine under the commanding of-ficer’s command, a driver (hopefully) obeying traffic laws, or a child obeying his parents. Everybody is under someone else’s con-trol. Dylan hints that the person holding the power may or may not use his power for your good, but nevertheless, all of us serve

somebody.Sometimes, those over us misuse their power.

hopefully, in these cases, we have a way to receive true justice (civil/military laws, appealing to the chain

of command, writing your congressman/woman, right to a trial by your peers, etc.). In these cases, abuse of power needs correction. But before you turn this into a “blame-it-on-someone-else” moment, let me tell you a story.

I once heard a story of a girl named Cathy who was 10 years old, with a younger brother named Billy. Billy had several dimes in his piggy bank. Knowing what was in Billy’s piggy bank, Cathy hatched a scheme. “hey Billy,” she said, “Will you trade me my nickels for your dimes? The nickels are bigger. Don’t you want to have the ‘bigger’ coins?” Billy thought, “Bigger is better. If nickels are bigger than dimes, they must be worth more.” Billy agreed and Cathy gladly gave him her nickels for his dimes.

Cathy tells us a lot about ourselves. We are all in positions of power. We may not be the officer in charge of department “x” or section “y,” but all of us have power over someone else. We may be parents raising our children, petty officers leading junior Sailors, or older sisters exchanging coins with younger brothers. I ven-ture to say that all of us have been in Cathy’s position, using our power to benefit ourselves first and foremost. My question to you is “how do you use the power you have been given?” Do you use your power always to

benefit others and not sometimes for personal gain? If the answer is not “always,” then you have abused the power that you have been given (like me). All of us then are on both sides of the equation; both having received abuse from another’s misuse power and misusing the power we have been given. So what, then, do we do?

The answer can be humbling. You see, in both cases the answer lies outside of ourselves. When we are the abused person, we are to seek justice outside of ourselves. hopefully, true justice is served. But in the other case (that we sometimes abuse power), this also lies outside of ourselves. As we see that our neigh-bor is much like us, then we can practice forgiveness toward each other. “Love your neighbor as yourself,” the Bible says in Leviticus 19:18. But the answer lies outside of ourselves deeper still. Full forgiveness must come from someone who always uses his power for our benefit. God, in his grace, is in the midst of a rescue mission by means of one who always uses his power to benefit others. he uses his power to rescue us from the wrongs done to us and the wrongs done by us. If you want to hear about this rescuer, I encourage you to take advantage of the Rota Chapel worship schedule throughout the week. The office number is 727-2161. Gloria a Dios solo.

Manzanares, Spain – A 20-Seabee detail from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 11 joined Commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF) 68 and Army 7th Civil Support Command (CSC) to participate in the Spanish military emergency unit Unidad Military de Emergencias (UME) disaster response exercise DAIMIEL

2015, March 7 to 13. UME was formed in 2007 and started

the annual GAMMA series exercises in 2011, making DAIMIEL 2015 their fifth large-scale disaster exercise. This year’s scenario consisted of a petrol chemical plant accident in Daimiel, Spain leading to an industrial fire, oil spill, citizen evacu-ation, and contamination cleanup. With over 4,000 participants, it was UME’s largest exercise to date.

When the UME invited U.S. participa-

tion, U.S. Armed Forces Europe created Task Force Foreign Consequence Man-agement (TF-FCM). Army personnel from 7th CSC provided contamination surveying and clean up, medical, and civil affairs support. Navy personnel from CTF 68, including 20 Seabees from NMCB 11, performed command and control to re-ceive assistance requests and coordinate response logistics. Special Purpose Ma-rine Air-Ground Task Force (SP-MAGTF) Crisis Response - Africa, based in Morón,

Spain, provided aerial logistics support. Sixteen Seabees transported TF-FCM

equipment from Rota to Manzanares in a vehicle convoy across 463 kilometers (288 miles). City traffic had to be halted multiple times to allow large tractor-trail-ers to maneuver through the narrow Eu-ropean streets, requiring all movements to be escorted by Spanish military or local police. Steep climbs on the route slowed

on the other hand, if the DoT label is the one miss-ing, it cannot be accepted for regular shipment to the U.S. Motorcycles without DoT certification label must be imported as a nonconforming PoV.

Note 2: No DoT importation requirement is needed if the motorcycle is 25 years or older, when the engine capacity is under 50 cc, or when it is an off-road mo-torcycle.

EPA declaration form 3520-1 and DoT declaration form hS-7 must be completed and signed by the owner or agent and attached to the shipment paperwork.

When you're ready to depart you must contact the Personal Property Support office (PPSo) at 727-2421 or commercially at 956-82-2421 to coordinate a physi-cal inspection of the motorcycle prior to arranging your personal property packing dates to determine if your

EPA and DoT labels are in compliance. A memorandum with the results of the inspection

must be provided to your Personal Property counselor on your appointment date to determine motorcycle ac-ceptance as part of your shipment. In addition, proof of ownership such as the U.S. title, purchase receipt, Spanish E-card, with VIN number with your name on it must be provided.

Importing a Nonconforming Motorcycle into the USIf your motorcycle doesn’t meet U.S. specifications

(EPA and/or DoT) you can still import it to the U.S. as a nonconforming vehicle. It must be shipped to a U.S. approved Registered Importer (RI) or Independent Commercial Importer (ICI) to bring it into compliance.

A contract agreement between the shipper and the RI or ICI must be provided to the local PPSo. Your motorcycle will then be shipped to the RI or ICI address in the USA subject to excess distance cost based on your last duty station shipping entitlements. once your motorcycle has been converted to meet the U.S. EPA and DoT standards, you will have to make personal arrangements to pick it up.

If you are shipping a nonconforming motorcycle to the U.S., please plan ahead from your rotation date to avoid inconveniences. Depending on the specific make and model, the average cost to bring a motorcycle into compliance is approximately $2,000 to $3,500.

More detailed importation requirements and a list of U.S. approved RI or ICI can be found at the following website, http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/.

Shipping a Motorcycle to a Destination Other Than the US

Importation of motorcycles to other countries must meet the requirements established in the specific coun-try’s Status of Forces Agreement. This Information can be found on the “General Shipping Instructions” for the destination country on the Personal Property Consign-ment Instructions Guide at https://tops.ppcigweb.sddc.army.mil/ppcig/menu/query/country.do.

You can also ask for a copy of these instructions from your local PPSo. If a motorcycle shipment to other coun-tries is not authorized, but the motorcycle meets U.S. specification, you can send it to Non-Temporary Storage (NTS) in the U.S. for the duration of your overseas tour.

The window is open and female Sailors across the Navy are applying to make history. Applications for conversions into all Submarine Force ratings are being accepted today!

Wednesday is the deadline for the first round of selec-tions for training and assignment onboard submarines. The initial plan for integrating enlisted female Sailors of ranks E-1 to E-8 includes opening all submarine ratings and Navy enlisted classification codes to enlisted women in Fiscal Year 2015 for service onboard the Ohio-class guided-missile submarines (SSGN) starting in 2016, fol-lowed by Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarines (SSBN) and Virginia-class attack submarines (SSN).

here are five things female enlisted Sailors should know about this opportunity:

1 This is a historic opportunity and an option for women that did not exist even five months ago.

The Submarine Force is an all-volunteer force and is looking for top quality Sailors interested in taking on a new challenge. This is a rating conversion similar to other conversions except that women may apply from any rating in the Navy ** to serve in any rating on a sub-marine. Even if you would not otherwise be allowed to convert out of your current rating, you can apply for this program. (**Note: Nuclear trained Sailors serving/previ-ously served on surface units are not eligible to apply.)

2 The first 14 crews to be integrated operate in a two crew rotation with patrol/deployment lengths

averaging three to four months followed by three to four months of training in homeport. Every Sailor gets a bunk onboard Ohio-class submarines (no hot-racking). Shore

duty opportunities may exist for many Sailors to remain in the same homeport.

3 We are looking for leaders. The first female enlist-ed Sailors will be chief petty officers (E-7/-8) who

will bring all of their experience and leadership with them to immediately impact the Chiefs Mess and the ship. To support hitting the decks at full speed, chiefs may apply from five ratings - Yeoman (YN or PS), Culinary Special-ist (CS), Logistics Specialist (LS), Information Systems Technician - Submarines (ITS) and hospital Corpsman/Independent Duty Corpsman (hM/IDC).

4 The team will be built with Sailors of all ranks and ratings. Sailors from all communities are encour-

aged to apply. Submarine ratings open for conversion are YN, CS, LS, ITS, Sonar Technician, Fire Control Technician, Machinist Mate - Auxiliary, Machinist Mate - Weapons, Missile Technician, Electronics Technician - Navigation, and Electronics Technician - Communi-cations. Female nuclear trained Sailors will also be selected during the nuclear training Pipeline or while serving as a junior staff instructor.

5 All the information you need is at the Naval Per-sonnel Command Website on the Community

Managers page, http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/enlisted/community/Pages/default.aspx. here you will find the Navy Administrative messages announcing the new opportunities, a brief on the Submarine Force, point of contact information as well as a sample application to download.

This is just the first opportunity. This program will last for eight to 10 years to begin the integration of the Submarine Force. Submarines and the crews that serve on them are the world's best today.

the heavy loads. “We gave it all the power we could when traveling up

hills and went from 55 MPh to almost 13 MPh, but we made it,” said Equipment operator 3rd Class Benjamin Dixon.

The other four NMCB 11 personnel worked in the Joint operations Center (JoC) in 24-hour command and control operations. As a communicator, Construction Electrician Constructionman Maxwell Mandock’s job was to transmit and receive messages from all participating units. he noted, “It was definitely a learning experi-ence on a wider range of communication equipment than is normally utilized in [a Seabees] battalion.” As a further challenge, most exercise communications were in Spanish.

French and Moroccan military also participated in the exercise, with observers attending from Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Argentina. U.S. forces worked alongside their Spanish UME counterparts throughout the week. The Seabees lived in temporary berthing set up by UME, with cots double and triple-stacked in a local gymnasium to provide over 500 beds.

Chief Utilitesman Timothy Dry said of the operation, “Leading Seabees is always rewarding, but being able to do it while in a joint service and multi-national environ-ment is truly rewarding. Seabees were able to display several of our mission capabilities at DAIMIEL, while observing, learning, and partnering with other NATo countries on a tactical level.”

After operations concluded, Col. Castellanos, deputy commander of the 7th CSC, presented an Army Achieve-ment Medal to Equipment operator Seaman Donald hanson and a command coin to Electronics Technician 2nd Class hugo Torres for their performance during the exercise.

Chief Tysha BlandTeam Rota in the Spotlight

U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Grant Wamack

A native of Cheverly, Maryland, Chief Master-At-Arms Tysha Bland joined the Navy April 14, 1992. After completing basic training in Florida, she attended Aviation Machinist's Mate “A” School in Millington, Tennessee for two months. In october 1992, she arrived at her first command, helicopter Support Squadron 3. In 1997, she success-fully struck the rate of master-at-arms (MA).

Bland said her most memorable command was when she was stationed at Naval Sup-port Activity Millington in Millington, Tennes-see from 2000 to 2003.

“That’s where I gained a lot of experience and I saw how much the MA rating changed after 9/11,” said Bland. “From that point on, I never looked back at the old ways of doing business. I walked away with a different insight on my rating.”

From 2007 to 2012, Bland was stationed at Naval Base San Diego and worked in the security department. In December 2012, Bland came to Rota and joined Commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF) 68 inside Camp Mitchell.

Bland works as the anti-terrorism force protection chief at CTF 68. When it comes to force protection, she ensures deploying forces such Seabees, Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team Company Europe and Africa, or Explosive ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Sailors have plans should something go wrong. When it comes to anti-terrorism she supports the base by ensuring theatre requirements are met. Additionally, she has been serving as the Sexual Assault Preven-tion Response (SAPR) program manager for CTF 68 and a victim advocate for the last two years.

“I like the uniqueness of my job,” said Bland. “This is my first expeditionary com-mand. I’ve always been a surface Sailor so this takes me out of my element and chal-lenges me; it’s good.”

Bland said her biggest accomplishment thus far is making chief petty officer and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice.

She said the following quote has helped her learn how to listen and the importance of two-way communication.

“Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens,” said Jimi hendrix.
