Photo by MC2 (SW) Grant WamackAmerican and Spanish Sailors, along with members of Rota Fire and Emergency Services pose for a group picture at the conclusion of the 6th annual Fire Muster Challenge, Oct. 1. The event kicked off Fire Prevention Week which started Oct. 4 and runs through Saturday.

American and Spanish Sailors, assigned to various commands around Naval Station Rota, came together Oct. 1 for the sixth annual Fire Muster, competing in different fire response challenges.

The event was hosted by Rota Fire and Emergency Services and also kicked off Fire Prevention Week, which began Oct. 4 and runs through Saturday.

Capt. Greg Pekari, Naval Station Rota commanding officer, got the event underway by signing the Fire Prevention Week Proclamation. The event featured free food, music from American Forces Network and a fire safety challenge, which Port Operations Department won.

“We had a fantastic turnout today and it was a wonderful event,” said William Shanholter, Rota’s Fire Chief. “There were a lot of people who came out and we’re pretty excited to kick off Fire Prevention Week here on Naval Station Rota.”

Rota Fire and Emergency Services has other events that are scheduled for the week, including fire extinguisher training at David Glasgow Farragut school, a visit to the Child Development Center with their mascot, Sparky, setting up information booths at the Navy Exchange and commissary as well as a chili cook-off.

The theme for this year’s campaign is “Hear the beep where you sleep. Every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm.”

“This year’s theme is very important,” said Nicholas Dmytrus, one of Rota’s fire inspectors. “There have been a number of fires where firefighters have come into the home and found that there were smoke alarms installed, but they didn’t work. Either the batteries were missing or dead or there was some other malfunction with the alarm.”

Roughly half of all house fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a fire in half.

The key message of this year's campaign is to install smoke alarms in every

bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. Larger homes may need more alarms. Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries once a year or when the alarm “chirps” to tell you the battery is low. Also, replace any smoke alarm that is more than 10 years old.

Dmytrus, a retired Air Force firefighter, said there are many ways people can prevent and stay safe from fires.

“People can also stay vigilant when using candles during power outages and when using extension cords to power equipment. You want to make sure you don’t overload it. It is also recommended to have an evacuation route in your home in the event that you and your family need to get out quickly and it’s important that you are able to utilize that evacuation route in the dark as well.”

In 2014, there were 1,298,000 fires reported in the United States. Those fires caused 3,275 civilian deaths, 15,775 civilian injuries and $11.6 billion in property damage. Dmytrus said that unattended cooking fires are the number one cause of house fires in military base housing around the world.

“People can get complacent and will decide to run to the commissary to get a few last-minute items. If you are going to cook, don’t leave. When you are done cooking, be sure to turn the oven or stove off.”

More useful tips that the NFPA says can prevent fires are to keep spaces heaters as least three feet from anything that can catch on fire. Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs, or have loose connections. Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow out candles when you leave the room or go to sleep. Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers. Sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive.

Fire Prevention Week has been observed since 1922 and is the longest running public health and safety observance on record, according the National Archives and Records Administration's Library Information Center.

Rota Kicks Off Fire Prevention Week

CAPTAIN'SCORNER

Capt. Greg S. PekariCOMNAVACT Spain

I know that it’s been two weeks already since Naval Station Rota welcomed the fourth and last FDNF ship, but I hadn’t

had an opportunity to thank the commands, departments and personnel responsible for bringing home the final member of our family, USS Carney (DDG 64). I first want to extend a warm welcome to the Sailors of the USS Carney, especially to Cmdr. Ken Pickard USS Carney commanding officer, Cmdr. Peter Halvorsen, USS Carney executive officer and Command Master Chief John Lonsdale. The ceremony was another outstanding event for the United States, the Kingdom of Spain and

our NATO allies. The ceremony and reception were hosted by Adm. Mark

Ferguson, commander, Naval Forces Europe-Africa. Just like with the last three arrival ceremonies, Naval Station Rota again saw many distinguished visitors from the U.S. and Spanish Navies. For the U.S., there was Mr. Krishna Urs, deputy chief of mission to Spain and Andorra,; Adm. Mark Ferguson and Rear Adm. Jack Scorby. Spain was represented by Adm. Jaime Munoz-Diaz, Spanish chief of naval operations, Adm. Javier Franco Suanzes, Spanish fleet commander, Vice Adm. Fernando Querol, Rear Adm. Santiago Gonzalez Gomez Spanish base commanding officer and Brig. Gen. Javier Carraminana, Spanish Office of Defense Cooperation president.

The Spanish Navy held another sit-down dinner the evening prior for incoming distinguished visitors that was hosted by Adm. Franco Suanzes in his home. It was a beautiful evening and an excellent opportunity for our guests to meet and socialize with each other prior to the following day’s events.

The weather couldn’t have been better for the ceremony itself, sunny, warm and the congregation was greeted by the music of both the U.S. Navy and Spanish Marine Corps bands. The official

party all spoke during the event. They spoke of the importance that the FDNF holds for our NATO allies and the strength of the Spanish-U.S. partnership.

I want to thank the many commands and individuals that contributed to and participated in the planning and execution of USS Carney’s arrival ceremony:

• U.S. and Spanish Port Operations and the U.S. and Spanish Security forces

• NAVSTA Admin and our U.S. and Spanish Protocol Officers, Roberto Fuertes, Maria Diaz and Brenda Navarro;

• NAVSUP, NAVFAC and NCIS• Our Masters of Ceremonies for all four arrival ceremonies,

Lt. Cmdr. Joe Cozart and Cmdr. Carlos Valdes.• The control officers, Roberto Fuertes, Lt. Grace Reilly,

and Lt. Erik Granum• The pier ceremony directors, Lt. Chris Saxton and Senior

Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Dennis Yanez• The Rota Chief Mess• The Spanish Navy staff under Rear Adm. Gonzalez and

Capt. Prats• Our fantastic American Forces Network and Public Affairs

department under Lt. David Carter and Chief Mass Communication Specialist Michael Lantron

• Our 5-star Morale, Welfare and Recreation food and beverage team under Robert Wood, Tim Drake and staff.

I also want to thank Command Master Chief Delbert Terrell Jr. and Cmdr. Neil Hoffman, executive officer, who spent many weeks and countless hours putting together this last arrival ceremony and ensuring all the details were in place.

Lastly, I want to thank the countless other members of Team Rota who were behind the scenes to ensure another successful and memorable ceremony. Ever since February 2014, when we first welcomed USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), this base has worked hard to ensure a smooth transition for the Sailors and families of all of our FDNF destroyers to Rota, Spain. The arrival of USS Carney marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for Naval Station Rota, and we are blessed to be part of both. Have a wonderful Columbus Day weekend and be safe!

Welcome USS Carney and Thank You Naval Station Rota

The CoasTline | October 08, 2015 3

Adm. Mark Ferguson, Commander of Allied Joint Force Command and U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, received the "Old Goat" award during a ceremony in King Hall at the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) Oct. 2.

The award, a glass decanter engraved with the initials and class years of previous old goats, is awarded to the oldest Naval Academy graduate still on active duty. Ferguson graduated with distinction from USNA in 1978.

"Today we are witnessing the passing of the ‘Old Goat’ award to Admiral Mark Ferguson," said Vice Adm. Ted Carter, USNA superintendent. "It is an honor to have him come to the academy all the way from Europe and spend some time with the brigade to share his leadership experiences."

Ferguson serves as the Commander of Allied Joint Force Command located in Naples, Italy. In this capacity, he directs a combined NATO staff responsible for planning, preparing and conducting military operations throughout the Supreme Allied Commander Europe's area of responsibility.

Ferguson also concurrently serves as commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe and U.S. Naval Forces Africa. His area of responsibility covers more than 20 million square nautical miles of ocean, to include the waters bordering the coasts of Europe and Africa and including the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

"I didn't think it would take me 37 years to get back to the academy and be able to talk to the brigade," said

Ferguson. "It's a very busy, exciting and volatile time in Europe and it's a great pleasure and privilege to be back in Annapolis."

Ferguson also thanked those who were involved in today's ceremony.

"I'd like to thank everyone who had a hand in presenting me with this award," said Ferguson. "I look forward to speaking with more of the brigade while I am here and watching Navy beat Air Force during the game tomorrow."

Ferguson's initials and class year are engraved on the award along with those of former Deputy Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Rear Adm. Alton L. Stock, MC, USN, Class of 1972, who retired March 28, 2014; former USNA Superintendent Vice Adm. Michael H. Miller, Class of 1974, who retired Aug. 1, 2015; and former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert, Class of 1975; who retired Sept. 18, 2015.

1. Use efficient linear fluorescent lighting. Four-foot linear fluorescent lighting is an energy-efficient and practical choice for areas like garages and utility rooms. Seek out fixtures that use electronic ballasts and T8 lamps and save 30 percent or more in energy use over older style T12 technology. Homeowners with electrical qualifications can convert their existing T12 fixtures to T8 by replacing the ballasts and lamps. Which do you currently have? T8 lamps are one inch in diameter, while T12 lamps are 1.5 inches in diameter.

2. Use the correct fluorescent lamp type for the installed ballast. Although you may get light from a fixture with T8 lamps installed with a T12 ballast, or vice-versa, the efficiency is very low, and equipment life may be compromised.

3. Use electronic ballasts. Electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting not only save energy over magnetic ballasts, they also operate at much higher frequencies, eliminating the 60-cycle flicker associated with early fluorescent lighting.

BRITE Ideas NAVSTA Rota!


It is no secret. The U.S. government, including the U.S. Navy, is under attack. You are under attack.

The headlines above only scratch the surface of the most recent attention grabbers. Our government and Navy computer networks and systems now face a constant barrage of attacks and intrusion attempts.

The numbers for just our unclassified network, the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), are staggering:

NMCI blocks approximately 3.5 million spam messages per month. NMCI also prevents more than 231 million unauthorized intrusion attempts per month.

The threat is real and comes from a variety of sources including nation states, profit-motivated criminals, and ideologically motivated hackers, extremists, and terrorists.

They are trying to infiltrate and shutdown our systems, compromise or decrease the integrity of our data, and/or steal our personal assets.

Our systems are under attack. You are under attack.It used to be that cyber attacks and defense were problems left to the IT

professionals… the computer experts behind closed doors in the bowels of the ship or the basement of the office building. You rarely heard of the problems or their solutions.

Not anymore.If you log on to any Navy network, via desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.,

you are in the cyber battlespace and are directly vulnerable to attack.“Humans are the weak link in cybersecurity,” according to Michael Daniel, the

Special Assistant to the President and U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator.It only takes one careless act to wreak havoc on the entire network. For example,

the recent shutdown of the DoD and Joint Chiefs of Staff network in the Pentagon

was the direct result of someone clicking on a link in an email that came to their official account.

At the headquarters level, we are standing up the Navy Cybersecurity Division within the OPNAV N2/N6 Information Dominance organization, to spearhead the Navy’s cybersecurity efforts.

Coincidentally, as we begin this effort, President Obama has designated October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Activities during the next four weeks are designed to engage and educate public and private sector partners with the goal of raising awareness about cybersecurity and increasing the resiliency of the nation in the event of a cyber incident.

Within the Navy, we’re going to use this month to spread the word on cybersecurity. You’ll be hearing about the threat, what the Navy is doing, and what you can do concerning cybersecurity through blogs, tweets, news stories and press coverage.

One of the concepts we will go into detail on is called CYBERSAFE. Similar to the submarine community’s SUBSAFE program, CYBERSAFE is a program to maximize mission assurance for critical warfighting components. An additional goal of the CYBERSAFE program is to change the mindset of everyone within the Navy to “think before you click.” That is… think CYBERSAFE (cybersecurity) every time you log on.

CYBERSAFE is just like damage control onboard your ship. It is an All Hands responsibility. You must be prepared to do your part to make the ship more secure.

Our effort to change the Navy culture on cybersecurity will not end after this month.Cybersecurity demands constant vigilance, so you will hear about cybersecurity and

CYBERSAFE often in the months ahead. I encourage you to pay attention, embrace, and if you see something wrong…do something right. The security of the Navy, and your own (cyber) security depend on it.

Every day the Navy is under attack. You are under attack. Think cybersecurity. Think CYBERSAFE.

By Vice Adm. Ted N. BranchDeputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance

All Hands on Deck


U.S. Navy Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 1 conducted training on operating an Evacuation Control Center (ECC) at Camp Mitchell on Naval Station Rota, Spain, Aug. 29, 2015.

The training was conducted to prepare Seabees to operate an ECC and assist with the timely and organized departure of U.S. citizens when Americans and diplomatic personnel are living, working, or traveling abroad in unstable regions of the world.

“This t ra in ing is conducted in preparation for if a situation arises that requires evacuation from a country,” said Chief Intelligence Specialist Torivio Hall, NMCB 1’s assistant officer in charge for ECC. “NMCB 1 could be tasked to deploy and manage an evacuation process while maintaining 100 percent accountability and security in a timely fashion.”

The ECC quickly and efficiently processes all personnel for accountability while safeguarding personnel from all threats.

“The process for going through the ECC starts with the non-combatants being briefed at each station,” said Senior Chief Information Systems Technician Randy Williamson, NMCB 1’s subject matter expert for ECC. “The stations include a security search,

medical screening, and registration into the Non-combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) tracking system that places the evacuating individuals on a roster for the next available seat for departure.”

The security search and medical screening are to ensure the safety of everyone that is being transported out of the country while the NEO tracking system provides a barcoded wristband to those that have been screened in order to provide an accurate tracking of everyone transported to a safe haven.

“We train once a month in order to consistently hit the mark of 100 people per hour,” Williamson said. “The training allows us to prepare for any variables that arise once boots are on the ground during an evacuation procedure because we have been working on our fluidity. It is important to train like you fight.”

NMCB 1 is a Seabee battalion that specializes in contingency construction, disaster response, and humanitarian assistance. The battalion’s homeport is in Gulfport, Miss.

The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. It offers deployable battalions capable of providing contingency construction, disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance, and combat operations support.

HN Caine CollinsTeam Rota in the Spotlight

A native of Stuttgart, Germany, Hospi ta lman Caine Collins joined the Navy in April 2014. After completing basic training at Great Lakes, Illinois, he attended Hospital Corpsman “A” School at San Antonio, Texas, for four months. In October 2014, he arrived at U.S. Naval Hospital in Rota, Spain, his first command.

Collins works as a general duty corpsman in the Medical Homeport Depar tment . Collins checks patients in, checks vital signs, conducts various procedures, books appointments, and conducts administrative type duties. Outside of work, he plays on the Naval Station Rota men’s softball team and competes on various teams during Captain’s Cup.

“I love my job,” said

Collins. “I get to help people. It’s something different every day and I love the challenge that comes with that. You never know what will get handed to you each day.”

Collins said his biggest accomplishment thus far is being able to learn all aspects of being a corpsman that includes administrative w o r k , l o g i s t i c s a n d ultimately, learning how to be versatile.

Collins believes if you practice everything the correct way, you’ll continue to do th ings r igh t no matter the situation. One of his favorite quotes, from Aristotle, summarizes how Collins tries to live his life.

“ W e a r e w h a t w e repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 to celebrate the many contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America.

This year’s theme, chosen by the National Council of Hispanic Employment Managers is “Hispanic Americans: Energizing Our Nation’s Diversity.”

Naval Station Rota celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Month by gathering together at the U.S. Naval Hospital Rota courtyard for a brief presentation about Hispanic culture, a dance routine of popular Hispanic dancing, a Zumba class and many different dishes that offered the rich taste of Hispanic cuisine.

America’s diversity has always been one of our nation’s greatest strengths. Hispanic Americans have long played an integral role in America’s rich culture, proud heritage and the building of this great nation. This year’s theme invites us to reflect on Hispanic Americans’ vitality and meaningful legacy in our Nation’s cultural framework.

Throughout our history, there have been many Hispanic Americans that have energized our nation’s diversity. Hispanic Americans continue to shape our country in a myriad of areas through their strong commitment to family, faith, ingenuity, hard work and public service.

Who are we as people? What is it that makes us who we are? I believe that it is the choices that we make. What kind of music do you listen to? What is your favorite type of literature? Xbox or PlayStation? Kirk or Picard? Edward or Jacob? There are any number of choices that will influence who your friends are, what type of vocation you feel called to in life and, ultimately, what kind of person you are.

One of my choices was made in seminary. I took a class called the “Life and Times of C.S. Lewis” taught by a great professor, Dr. Knickerbocker. I was a pretty avid reader as I grew up, especially of science fiction and fantasy literature; I somehow was never introduced to Lewis, who many know, wrote “The Chronicles of Narnia.” His writing has had a definitive mark on my ministry and my own Christian faith. Perhaps his greatest work is a book called “Mere Christianity.”

This book was formed out of a series of radio talks he gave during World War II to encourage the populace and bolster their spiritual resiliency

in the midst of nighttime bombings and the threat of the war. It is a staple of many Christian’s spiritual journey and has influenced their beliefs, either to lead them into the faith or strengthening it along the way. One of the choices that I make each year is to reread “Mere Christianity” and remind myself of what Lewis believed were the fundamentals of Christianity.

I bring this up to you because I want to share a quote from this book that I believe is applicable to anyone, regardless of their spiritual or religious affiliation. A quote that talks about how the decisions we make have tremendous and lasting impact on our personhood.

“Every time you make a choice you are turning into the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing into a heavenly creature or a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with

its fellow creatures, and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is heaven: that is, it is joy and peace and knowledge and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.” - C. S. Lewis

Whether you believe in the Christian faith, as Lewis and I do, or not, I don’t think anyone can argue that the daily choices we make turn us either to harmony or hatred. The choices we make determine if there joy, peace and knowledge in our relationships, our jobs, our innermost being or if those things are filled with madness and dysfunction.

The problem is that life interferes with our good choices. Each day we get out of bed with the best of intentions, to love our spouse, to be patient with our kids, to be nice to our frustrating co-worker. Then you realize you are out of coffee, the kids won’t get ready for school and the co-worker has hijacked your day with meetings and all those nice thoughts are gone. It kind of feels like the following prayer.

“Dear God, so far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped and I haven’t lost my temper. I haven’t been grumpy, nasty or selfish and I’m really glad of that! But in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get out of bed, and from then on, I’m probably going to need a lot of help. Thank you! Amen.”

The kicker is that no matter how bad a day we may be having, it is still our choice how we greet the world. Even when everything is against us, we can make the conscience decision as to which state of being we are progressing to. As a united Methodist elder, we are asked at ordination if we are going on to perfection. Now that is a deep theological question, far too much for our time here and once a prospective elder told their bishop that they weren’t sure. The bishop’s response was, “well, if not, then what are you going on to?”

Lewis would say “do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.”

Sometimes we have to fake it until we make it. Each and every day, choose to be the type of person striving to be in harmony with those around you. Will people and circumstances annoy and frustrate you? Of course but choose to be loving and encouraging anyway. Choose to turn that central part of you into something beautiful and gracious that makes a positive impact on your world.

Choices That Influence Who You Are

Do you know how to prepare for health care visits? When you are knowledgeable about your health and come to visits prepared, you’ll be able to make more informed decisions about your health or a loved one’s health. You may feel embarrassed to talk about a health concern, or feel like you should just deal with an illness or an injury. However, an injury, pain or other symptom could turn into a bigger problem if it is not addressed by a health professional. You can maintain readiness and live a healthy life when you come to health care visits prepared. You may not know exactly how to best communicate your concerns with your health care provider, but by following these four tips on talking to your doctor, you’ll learn how to come to your next annual physical or other health care visit much more prepared. First, make a list of the concerns or the topics you want to talk about, this will help you prioritize the points you need to discuss. Second, be detailed. The more information you give on your health history, medication or concerns, the better. Third, be honest. This is important to determine the best care or treatment options for you. Last but definitely not least, repeat your doctor’s recommendations in your own words and if you don’t understand, ask more questions. Keep these tips in mind, practice it and together we can all stay Healthy for Life!

USS Porter (DDG 78) will entered the Black Sea, Oct. 6, to promote peace and stability in the region.

The ship's operations in the Black Sea are meant to enhance maritime security and stability, readiness, and naval capability with our allies and partners.

"Forward Deployed Naval Forces, like USS Porter, continue to demonstrate why being forward matters. Her presence will continue to improve our interoperability and capabilities with allies and partners," said Vice Adm. James Foggo, Commander, U.S. 6th Fleet.

The U.S. Navy routinely operates ships in the Black Sea consistent with interna-tional law. Porter will enter the Black Sea in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve. The United States continues to demonstrate its commitment to the collective security of our NATO allies and support for our partners in Europe. All DoD efforts in support of our NATO allies in Eastern Europe fall under the umbrella of Atlantic Resolve.

The U.S. remains committed to maintaining a persistent presence in Eastern Eu-rope. We look forward to further commitments by our allies to ensure a coordinated and continuous land, air and sea presence in the region as part of the commitments made at the NATO Summit.

USS Porter (DDG 78), 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.

USS Porter Enters Black SeaBy U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs


utWe’re nearly a full month into fall and flu season. You may have gotten a notice from

your doctor that you can get a flu shot in his or her office. You pick up a prescription and the pharmacist mentions that flu shots are available at the pharmacy. Or your workplace offers a flu shot clinic. Yet you haven’t taken advantage of these offers. And you aren’t alone.

Two common reasons people give for avoiding the flu shot are that it will give you the flu and/or it won’t work. Neither of those reasons are accurate.

Getting vaccinated against the flu can’t give you the flu. Vaccines given by a shot are made with flu viruses that have been killed or made unable to replicate in humans. Flu vaccines given as a nose spray contains weakened, or attenuated, flu viruses that can’t survive the warmth of the lungs, so it can’t flourish and cause the flu.

In some people, the flu vaccine causes side effects. These include discomfort where the shot was given, low-grade fever and achiness. These side effects can make you feel crummy for a day or two, but it’s not the flu. Some people may coincidentally come down with a cold soon after getting the shot and confuse cold symptoms with the flu.

Skepticism about the flu vaccine’s effectiveness is understandable but isn’t a good reason to skip it. There are dozens of different flu viruses. Long before flu season begins, experts must guess which ones will be most prominent the following flu season. This changes from year to year, which is why you need a flu shot every year.

Vaccines are created to protect against the three or four mostly likely culprits. Some years the guesses are good and the vaccines are quite effective. Other years the guesses aren’t so good and the vaccines aren’t as protective as they could be.

The flu vaccine may be imperfect, but it’s still worth getting. Here are three reasons why:

1. It may keep you from getting the flu.2. If you do get the flu, you may not get as sick as you would have gotten without

the vaccine, or you may be less likely to develop serious complications like pneumonia.3. If you don’t get the flu, you can’t pass it on. So you will help keep other people from

getting sick, including those who may become seriously ill or die from flu complications.Contact U.S. Naval Hospital Rota or your primary care manager if you have any

questions about the influenza vaccine.

Spanish Serrano Ham Croquettes(Croquetas de Jamon Serrano)

We really hope you had a very nice week and that you are enjoying this weather. We are so lucky to live in this area!

This week we want to share a very easy recipe, the Spanish Serrano ham croquettes. This is the perfect starter for a nice meal to share with family and friends and once you start eating them, you won’t be able to stop.

INGREDIENTS• 4 oz. of diced Spanish Serrano ham• 1 medium-sized onion, finely chipped• 1 garlic clove• 4 tablespoons of wheat flour• 3 ¼ cups of milk• ½ broth stock cube, half dissolved in warm

water• Ground nutmeg• A pinch of salt• Ground black pepper• 1 egg, beaten• Breadcrumbs• Mild olive oil

TO PREPARE• Start by frying the onion and the clove of garlic in a pan with three spoons

of olive oil on medium heat • Once the onion and garlic are soft, add the flour and stir it to slightly toast it.• Season it with the salt, ground nutmeg and black pepper.• Warm the milk and then add the half dissolved stock cube. Add it slowly to

the pan while stirring. You will see the croquette dough begin to thicken. Keep stirring until the dough comes off the pan.

• Add the diced Spanish Serrano ham, stir it and mix it. • Move the pan away from the heat and pour it on a baking tray and let it

cool down. Once cool, place it in the refrigerator.

• Cut the dough into dices and then make the shape of the croquettes by hand.• Wash the croquettes with a beaten egg and then roll them in the

breadcrumbs.• To finish, fry them in hot, but not boiling, olive oil. Once brown, remove

them and place on a paper towel.• Serve and enjoy!
