Capt. Joseph Polanin, commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF 68), speaks to service members assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 11 and NMCB 1 during a turnover ceremony between the two battalions, August 3.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 11 completed turning over the Seabee's Europe and Africa Naval Construction Force missions to NMCB 1 during a turnover ceremony on Camp Mitchell, the Seabee camp in Rota, August 3.

The change of charge marked the official end of a seven-month deployment for NMCB 11 after a weeklong turnover with NMCB 1. NMCB 1’s deployment to Rota is expected to last approximately seven months.

Cmdr. Jorge Cuadros, commanding officer, NMCB 11, exchanged salutes with Cmdr. Kemit Spears, commanding officer, NMCB 1, in the presence of Capt. Joseph Polanin, commander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF 68), to signify the official transfer of authority.

“I can’t say enough things about the great stuff we’ve done here,” said Cuadros. “I am very proud of this battalion and to NMCB 1, my charge to you is to carry out the proud legacy of the Seabees.”

Throughout the deployment, the battalion executed over 30,000 man-days of con-struction, mission support, and direct labor training. This also included 59 projects, 11 recurring missions, general engineering and camp maintenance in 35 countries and territories on four continents.

“NMCB 11 has executed great mission command and you got the job done,” said Polanin. “It’s absolutely phenomenal and you have a very complex operational tempo. You’ve had more stuff to do than the previous battalion. You had more exercises, more engagements, more operations and more construction projects. I know the great founda-tion that you’ve built has put us in a position where we are built for success.”

The NMCB 1 commander is excited about relieving the NMCB 11 Seabees of their duties and is eager to start working right away.

“Thank you NMCB 11 for setting the standard,” said Spears. “NMCB 1, we’ve got it now. We’ve spent 12 months in homeport training for this so we’re prepared to execute the warfighter’s mission across the globe. We’re here to construct and build.”

Congratulations Chief Petty Officer SelecteesTeam Rota,Navy Chief, Navy Pride!As we begin the CPO 365 Phase Two, it is always bitter

sweet. We will have the opportunity to train and congratulate some young motivators who were selected to Chief Petty Officer upon completion of a six-week phase two process. On the other

side of the coin, we have motivated first class petty officers that came up a little short on being selected to Chief. Please do not drop your pack. Continue to make a difference for your Sailors, peers, seniors and more importantly, your family. Below I will try to explain to you, what a Chief is, what motivates a Chief and finally when do you stop being a Chief.

What is a Chief? I think Adm. Frank Kelso describes it pretty well in his own words during the 100th anniversary of the Chief Petty Officer. He stated, "In the United States Navy, the title ‘Chief Petty Officer’ carries with it responsibilities and privileges no other armed force in the world grants enlisted people. These responsibilities and privileges exist because, for 100 years, Chiefs have routinely sought out greater challenges and assumed more responsibility. The example set by Chiefs for the last century inspires our young men and women of today. Indeed, what Americans see in our impressive young sailors, is the tradition of devotion and dedication the first Chiefs established with their sacrifices and valor. In large measure, they have not only ensured my success, but the success of every person who has served in our Navy. Their successors, today's Chief Petty Officers, are no less dedicated. They prove their worth every day and continue to meet great challenges and endure adversity

to protect our nation's interests. Our challenge to Chief Petty Officers of the 21st Century is to reaffirm the commitment to faith and fellowship that have allowed their comrades-in-arms before them to wear ‘the hat’ with tremendous pride.” It is that faith and fellowship from the first Chief’s that motivate us.

What motivates Chief Petty Officers? The answer is simple to say but difficult to perform, success! The success of our Sailors from E-1 to O-10 is what motivates Chief Petty Officers. There is one Chief Petty Officer that motivates me and keeps me humble as well as most of my fellow brothers and sisters. He exemplified our core values, passion and character of what is means to be “The Chief!” Peter Tomich advanced up the ranks to Chief Water Tender on 4 1930 and on one of the most fateful mornings in history, December 7, 1941, two torpedoes, seconds apart, pierced the side of USS Utah (BB 31). Water began to fill the engineering spaces, causing the Utah to lean on its side. Chief Tomich began to order his Sailors to evacuate while he maintained his post and single-handedly began to secure all the boilers to prevent a massive explosion, putting his own life before the lives of his Sailors. A short time after, USS Utah rolled and trapped Chief Tomich on board. The actions that Chief Tomich performed, preventing the explosion, he saved hundreds of lives on board and in the water nearby by sacrificing his own life for his Sailors.

He is one of many Chief Petty Officers from our past that have paved the way and brought us here today through hard work, passion, unselfishness and commitment to not give in on what we are tasked to do as Chief Petty Officers. We stay committed to our past, committed to the present and committed to the future.

So when does a Chief stop being a Chief Petty Officer? Never!Please join me in congratulating them for being selected for

E-7, they will earn the title of ‘Chief Petty Officer’ over the next six weeks as we will officially frock them on September 16, 2015.

Seven Things to Know about Navy’s PFA ChangesBy Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

NAVADMIN 178/15, announcing the update to Navy Physical Fitness Program, was released August 3 and posted at http://www.npc.navy.mil.

Here are seven things to know about the Navy’s Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) changes.

1) The goal of these changes is to achieve a healthier, fitter force over the short and long term with more Sailors taking the Physical Readiness Test (PRT) resulting in fewer failures and better mission readiness.

“This new policy meets the goals set forth by CNO and SECNAV, a system that gets at better health and speaks to the wellness of our Sailors," said Vice Adm. Bill Moran, Chief of Naval Personnel. "We are providing COs the tools and guidance they need to encourage a culture of fitness and improve overall mission readiness. Underneath of that, we have adjusted the BCA standards to allow more Sailors to take the PRT and prevent the unnecessary separation of quality Sailors due to outdated measurements,"

2) Key Changes Beginning January 1, 2016•An updated Physical Act iv i ty Risk Factor

Questionnaire (PARFQ) to better assess Sailor health.•New Navy Body Fat Percentage Standards based

on a graduated scale that increases with a Sailor’s age.•Body Composition Assessment (BCA) Methodology:

The new method for measuring BCA will consist of a three-step process. A Sailor who is medically cleared to participate in the PRT shall do so regardless of his or her BCA results.

•Reduced the number of failures leading to separation from the current “ three in four years” to “two in three years.”

3) BCA Changes that Account for Today’s Body Types Graduated by Age

A Sailor has three opportunities to pass the BCA:•Apply the current height/weight tables to a Sailor.•Apply a single-site abdominal circumference

measurement. A Sailor will pass the BCA if the abdominal circumference is less than or equal to 39 inches for males and less than or equal to 35.5 inches for females.

•A Sailor will pass the BCA by meeting the DoD maximum allowable body fat limit of less than or equal to 26 percent for males or DoD maximum body fat limit of less than or equal to 36 percent for females.

Stricter Navy standards will be used to help identify Sailors well before they get to the DoD standards and risk failing the BCA, or even worse, developing health problems:

•Males:◦18 to 21 = 22 percent◦22 to 29 = 23 percent◦30 to 39 = 24 percent

◦40+ = 26 percent•Females:

◦18 to 21 = 33 percent◦22 to 29 = 34 percent◦30 to 39 = 35 percent

◦40+ = 36 percent 4) Transition Period to Allow Sailors to Get

Healthy and Stay NavyEffective immediately, a Sailor subject to an

approved or pending administrative separation due to multiple PFA failures, who has not yet been separated, shall be offered the opportunity to be retained, providing

they have their commanding officer's support and pass a PRT (mock or official) by December 1, 2015.

5) Getting and Keeping Sailors Healthy and FitA number of resources wil l be available to

commanding officers to help ensure Sailors stay or get in shape. They include CO spot checks, command Fitness Enhancement Programs (FEP) and diet/nutritional counseling.

According to the NAVADMIN, Sailors enrolled in FEP due to BCA failure shall also be enrolled in nutritional counseling. All Sailors enrolled in FEP will be required to participate in a mock PFA every 30 days. A Sailor will be dis-enrolled from FEP when he or she can pass the PRT and is within the new Navy BCA standards.

6) Recognition for those Sailors who ExcelA fitness award will be issued for Sailors who score

Outstanding (any subcategory) for three consecutive PFA Cycles. Look for details this fall.

7) Health and Fitness Initiatives in the Near Future

•Developing a Navy-wide Registered Dietician utilization plan;

•Enhancing SHIPSHAPE and encouraging approved civilian diet programs;

•Establishing “Go for Green” healthy-eating pilot studies ashore and at sea;

•Providing more support for post-partum Sailors to re-attain or exceed previous fitness goals;

•Wearable-fitness device pilot studies to monitor caloric-intake trends, physical output, and rest;

•Re-instating refined Physical Readiness Test scoring categories.

Information on each of these programs will be published between now and January 2016.

There are certain habits like eating the right number of servings from each food group, sleeping seven or more hours each night and flossing once a day that can help to prevent illness. Flossing is essential to maintain your oral hygiene and your gums. One question that always comes up is what is the best time to floss? Is it before or after brushing? According to the American Dental Association, “the most important thing about flossing is to do it; as long as you do a thorough job, it doesn’t matter when.”

It is important to start flossing your child’s teeth at a young age or as soon as he or she has two teeth that touch. Teach your child how to floss and make this moment a bonding and fun time for both of you. Remember when flossing, pull several inches of floss out of the container, break it off and wrap most of it around your pointer and middle finger. Slowly guide the floss upward between your teeth, moving the floss away from

the gum with up and down motions. Repeat this method on the rest of your teeth.

Flossing helps to prevent plaque build-up, which can lead to cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. Some studies indicate that severe gum disease may be associated with other health conditions such as diabetes or stroke. Make sure to visit your dentist regularly. For questions about this or any Wellness topic, please contact us at 727-3350. Remember Rota, Stay Healthy for Life!

Emilio "Ricky" Campos RuizTeam Rota in the Spotlight

Photo by MC2 (SW) Grant Wamack

One man, commonly referred to as Ricky, works at the La Esquinta coffee shop next to the base library and can be seen running back and forth making coffee, preparing fresh orange juice and making sandwiches all the while keeping a smile on his face.

This one-man show, whose real name is Emilio Campos Ruiz, single-handedly handles every customer’s order. A native of Rota, he holds a degree in tourism from the University of Cadiz and has worked a number of jobs before coming to La Esquinta. He started out doing tourism work in Rota and then worked at golf club in Costa Ballena.

For the last six years, Ricky has been working at La Esquinta and serves 200 to 300 customers per week.

Many of his customers enjoy the service so much that they have become regulars and many people refer to the shop as “Ricky’s.”

“I love my job and I love to work with people,” said Ricky. “I feel like I’m working at home. I like to make people feel good and comfortable.”

Ricky th inks of himself as an active person and has become accustomed to multi-tasking. The work is mostly physical, but Ricky believes the human interaction is just as important as the food and drinks he prepares.

“People are losing sight of what’s most important, which are the feelings. We’re becoming more and more like numbers. I’m trying to change this and it makes me feel better. I can help people feel human. I don’t think of them as customers. I think of them as humans that I give back to.”

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Porter (DDG 78) arrived in Haifa, Israel, for a scheduled port visit July 26.

The port visit serves to enhance U.S.-Israeli relations as the two nations work together for a stable, secure and prosperous region.

While in port, Sailors will have the opportunity to visit the local sights, experience the culture, and interact with the people of Israel.

"Most of my crew has never had the opportunity to visit Israel and they are extremely excited about exploring all of the historical sites and experiencing the local culture,” said Cmdr. Blair Guy, USS Porter commanding officer. “We will also have several opportunities to interact with the Israeli Navy, enabling us to share our experiences and improve our integration for combined operations."

U.S. and Israeli divers recently participated in the annual bilateral exercise Noble Melinda July 13 to 23.

The U.S. Navy routinely visits Haifa. USS Laboon (DDG 58) and USS Ross (DDG 71) made a port visit in March of this year.

Porter departed its homeport in Naval Station Rota, Spain, June 29, 2015, to conduct naval operations with partners and allies in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in order to advance security and stability in Europe.

Kids Program at Brindo Mi Vida

The Gospel Project for Kids, a Sunday school class for your little ones at Brindo mi Vida, is taking a summer break. Call the chapel at 727-2161 for more details.

We all recognize that in every athletic contest there is a winner and a loser. Have you ever wondered

what’s the difference? Let me point out some of those differences. When a winner makes a mistake, he or she says, “I was wrong.” When a loser makes a mistake, he or she says, “It wasn't my fault.” A winner respects those who are superior to him and he tries to learn something from them. A loser, on the other hand, resents those superior to

him and tries to find fault in others. A winner takes a big problem and separates it into smaller parts so that it can be more easily manipulated. A loser takes a lot of little problems and rolls them together until they are unsolvable. A loser becomes bitter when he is behind

and careless when he is ahead. A winner keeps his equilibrium no matter what position in which he find himself. God has planted in all of us the instinct to be winners.

Psychologists tell us that one of our strongest urges is the desire to achieve and to become the masters of whatever situation that life faces us with. How do we then deal with failure? I have three suggestions. First, beware of a false sense of failure. Often, we compare ourselves with the wrong people. An example might be the high school basketball star. If he were to compare himself with an NBA star he might naturally think of himself as a failure. Next, when and if we do fail, let us face up to those failures. When we fall short, we have to assume the responsibility of that failure. Last, our failures are relative to our perspective.

An Icelandic tale about a fisherman and his two sons who were out on their fishing boat when a terrible storm blew up on the North Atlantic will illustrate what I mean. The winds were so strong and the waves so high that they all but swallowed up their little boat. On

shore, the strong winds had gotten into the kitchen fire in the fisherman’s hut and a spark from the fire set the house ablaze. The fisherman’s wife tried in vain to put the fire out, but the house burned to the ground. When the boat finally did make it back to the shore, the wife met her husband and sons with tear-filled eyes. She cried out in agony, “Honey, I have bad news. Our home has burned and we have lost everything.” The fisherman seemed unmoved, and said nothing. She said again, “Honey, didn’t you hear me? We have lost everything and we have nothing left!” The husband replied, “Let me tell you what has happened to us. While we were out at sea, we were caught in the storm. We were lost and didn’t know which way to go. The winds were so strong and the waves were so high that we had totally lost our bearings. Suddenly, on the horizon we saw a bright light, a beacon. It was our home burning. However, your husband and sons were saved because of that fire.”

You see, losing might only be a matter of perspective.

tEEn oriEntation and youth SPonSorShiPTeen Orientation and Youth Sponsorship, equivalent

to ICR, August 18; 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., designed for new youth entering 6th through 12th grade. We will have various speakers such as Club Beyond, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Safety, the Youth Center's Teen Coordinator, Coach Shelton for Youth Sports, David Glasgow Farragut principals and athletic director, as well as a representative from Fleet and Family Support Center. Amber Richardson, School Liaison Officer, will introduce them to various programs and provide information specific to teenagers stationed in Rota. After the presentations, a group of students at DGF of similar age and interests of our participants will take a trip to Cadiz. In Cadiz they break up into small groups for a scavenger hunt, eat lunch, gelato, churros and then meet at the port and ride the ferry back to Rota. Bring water, backpacks, sunscreen and wear comfortable footwear, sunglasses, or hat to protect themselves from the sun, must sign-up 24 hours in advance at the Youth Center.

frEE and rEduCEd mEal ProgramWe are now accepting applications for the DGF's Free

and Reduced Meal Program. Applications are on-line, through DGF's web site, http://www.dodea.edu/Europe/Mediterranean/RotaSevilla/RotaMHS/foodServices.com. Print and fill out the application. Once completed please submit, with an LES, to the School Liaison Officer for approval. Applications can be returned to DGF's Elementary and Middle/High School's main office or you can drop them off in front of the Navy Exchange on Monday through Friday from 11:30a.m. to 12:30p.m. The School Liaison Officer will have a table to hand out and accept Free and Reduced Meal Applications throughout the month of August. Eligibility is based on total family income and how many family members reside in your

home. It is based on the Alaskan criterion, which is considered the most liberal of all states participating in the Free and Reduced Meal Program. Therefore, if you did not qualify at your last duty station, you could still possibly fit the eligibility criterion here in Rota. It is considered an entitlement to government funds to assist military families. I encourage everyone to apply; it could save your family hundreds of dollars annually.

iCr (mandatory)WEEKLY through October, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Rota's Intercultural Relations Course (ICR) is a mandatory four-day course for all newly stationed personnel assigned to Commander, U.S. Naval Activities Spain; uniform of the day is required for all service members and business attire for civilians and dependents. You will be trained in diplomacy and learn some of the customs, traditions, and history of the host country.

Participation in the ICR program is critical to the successful and smooth adjustment to living overseas in the Kingdom of Spain. Vouchers are available for childcare services during class times. Your ICR instructor will give you the voucher upon completion of the course. These vouchers allow for free Morale, Welfare and Recreation childcare services at the Child Development Center (CDC) hourly care during the ICR class, plus an additional 30 minutes (15 minutes before and 15 minutes after class) driving time each day of the course. Space reservation at the hourly care should be made one week in advance by contacting the CDC at 727-1100.

All personnel attending ICR must sign up the week prior to ICR to reserve a seat. Failure to sign up could result in being delayed attending ICR. Once the individual attending ICR has arrived in Spain, sign up can be accomplished by the individual attending or the sponsor. Call 727-3232 or stop by FFSC to secure your spot today.

Service members and their family members walk in the parade during the 32nd annual National Night Out, Aug. 4. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes creating relationships within the community that can make neighborhoods safer, better places to live.

Members throughout the Rota community gathered together at Seaview Pines to promote security and community partnerships and overall neighborhood camaraderie during the 32nd annual National Night Out, Aug. 4.

National Night Out, coordinated by Chief Master-at-Arms Robert Sanchez and Chief Master-at-Arms Jorge Ontiveros, is an annual community-building campaign that promotes creating or strengthening relationships within the community that can make neighborhoods safer, better places to live.

“National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances,” said Sanchez. “More than 16,000 communities across all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases world-wide participate in this relationship-building event.”

The base security department organized and led the night, which included 18 different organization displays and demonstrations by NAVSTA Rota’s Fire Department, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8, Coastal Riverine Squadron 4, military working dogs, nearby Spanish police

Service members and their family members walk in the parade during the 32nd annual National Night Out, Aug. 4. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes creating relationships within the community that can make neighborhoods safer, better places to live.

“National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances,” said Sanchez. “More than 16,000 communities across all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases world-wide participate in this relationship-building event.”

The base security department organized and led the night, which included 18 different organization displays and demonstrations by NAVSTA Rota’s Fire Department, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8, Coastal Riverine Squadron 4, military working dogs, nearby Spanish police

departments, tenant commands, and support services assigned to the base.

Chief Master-at-Arms Kenneth Pratt said one of the goals of the event is to help make children not be afraid of the police. “We want them to be used to law enforcement as kids so when they are adults, they are not afraid of any police interaction.”

The night began with a parade from Captain’s Circle to Seaview Pines where there was free food and attendees learned about the local first responders and what they do for the community.

“National Night Out has been going on for 32 years and the reason behind it is to bring the community together with local law enforcement so people in the community get to know who

there first responders are,” said Tony Guyette, Rota’s physical security officer.

National Night Out originated in 1993 by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). NATW is a non-profit crime prevention organization dedicated to the development and promotion of crime prevention in communities across the nation.

“It was a great turnout and beautiful evening,” said Capt. Greg Pekari, commander, U.S. Naval Activities Spain. “National Night Out is an opportunity, not only to come together as one community, but an opportunity to recognize our local first responders because a lot of people work together to keep the community safe, both on and off base."

The Sesame Street Experience for Military Families performed a free United Service Organizations (USO) show in the multi-purpose room at David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Middle School.

The 30-minute character performance is called “Katie’s Family is Moving to a New Base” and is centered on military family transition. The show is meant to display how military families deal with lengthy separations and the hardships of deployment.

“This is something we bring directly to our military families. It’s a show specifically tailored for them,” said Nicole McClendon, USO tour manager. “We like to think it might give parents talking points on things to bring up with their kids because their kids might be upset or stressed that they might have to move. It gives them something

to take away from the show.”The USO performers are wrapping up their European leg of the tour and entertained

more than 525 military family members in the multi-purpose room.“The show was great,” said Legalman 1st Class Maria Bryant. “My daughter, Olivia,

loved it. She was happy and excited to see Elmo, which is her favorite character, and Cookie Monster. She loved the characters and the music. She got up and danced which is something she rarely does in public. It was really enjoyable.”

The show is geared toward three to six-year-olds, but it’s applicable to all military children.

The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families is the longest-running traveling tour in USO history. There are more than 100 shows scheduled for 45 military bases in nine countries and will wrap up in October.

The Carreras de Caballos, horse racing on the beaches of Sanlucar de Barrameda, is considered one of the most important sporting and social events that takes place every August in the province of Cadiz.

This will be the 170th Carreras de Caballos and traditionally, the free event takes place on the second and fourth weeks of August from Thursday to Sunday starting at 6 p.m.

During this event, Sanlucar welcomes thousands of visitors to watch the live horse races at Bajo de Guia and las Piletas beaches. The races bring tourists from all over Spain and visitors can watch the races from either the stands or directly on the beach. More than 20 races will be held during the six days of the event.

The event dates back to 1845, when the Sociedad de Carreras de Caballos de Sanlucar de Barrameda was formed. However, before th is organization held its first official races, races were staged informally for many years by locals who raced horses while transporting fish from port to port.

E v e n t u a l l y , t h e organization handed this event over to the town for management and it

was then included in the town’s summer program of sponsored events. It became known as one of the most important “fiestas” in the region.

In 1981, the Sociedad de Carreras de Caballos de Sanlucar reformed and took back the responsibility of hosting the annual races. According to the locals, the event is now better organized than ever and the Sanlucar Horse Races are now part of a national series of sporting events that include Madrid and Seville.

Now the Sanlucar de Barrameda races attract horses and riders from all over Europe. The stakes are high with total prize money ranging between two and three million euros.

- 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.

1. When possible, use fans to keep cool instead of an air conditioner. Fans consume only a small fraction of the energy that an air conditioner does.

2. If you plan to leave for more than a few minutes, turn the fan off. Letting it run wastes energy and does nothing to cool the room. In fact, the heat from the motor actually warms the room a little.

3. Clean the outside condenser coils of your heat pump or central air conditioner.
