An eight-day USO tour to Moscow and St. Petersburg promised to be the best trip ever; it was just that. Stop- ping first in Moscow, the group had an outstanding tour of the city. It included stops at the Kremlin, Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and two cathedrals inside the Kremlin walls. The tour also included a stop at the Novodevichy Convent which was founded in 1524.

One afternoon, the group spent several hours visiting the Arbat, a pedestrian street about one kilometer long that runs through the historical center of Moscow. The Arbat has existed since the 15th century, thereby laying claim to being one of the oldest sur- viving streets in Moscow and forming the heart of the Arbat District. Originally the street formed part of an important trade route and was home to a large number of craftsmen. Today the Arbat is full of craftsmen, souvenir shops, artists, and just about any type of item you wish to pur- chase. All members of the tour group arrived that after- noon at the Arbat empty handed; they left with great treasures purchased along that one kilometer. After the excitement of Moscow, the group departed for St. Petersburg, formerly known as Leningrad.

Base Notes•• ••

Though summer doesn’tofficially start for anotherweek, temperatures contin-ue to rise, creeping into the80s over this weekend. Aswe all acclimate to thewarmer weather, bear inmind that there are manyways to beat the heat. Ifyou exercise outdoors,shorten your workout atfirst to allow yourself timeto adjust. Graduallyincrease your time at a rea-sonable pace to adapt.Additionally, shifting yourworkout to the early morning hours, when it is cooler, may helpyou avoid heat injury. Increasing fluid intake is essential, andwill also be key during the summer months in the work envi-ronment, as temperatures increase across the region.

Heat injury, as mentioned above, is avoidable by frequentlydrinking small amounts of cool liquids and monitoring yoursymptoms. Heat fatigue, the least serious of the three types,still requires action. When you notice impaired performance ofsensory or motor functions, impaired vision, or are having dif-ficulty processing things mentally, move to a cooler environ-ment to avoid developing a more serious heat-related condi-tion. Heat exhaustion is serious, as it immediately precedesheat stroke. If you experience headache, nausea, dizziness,weakness, thirst, or loss of balance, rest and drink plenty offluid, in addition to moving to a cooler environment.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Somewhat counterintu-itively, skin may be hot, dry and absent of sweat. Additionalsymptoms include confusion, irrational behavior, loss of con-sciousness, convulsions, and an abnormally high body temper-ature. If you notice these symptoms, in yourself or someoneelse, seek professional medical attention immediately.

One of the best ways to cool down is at the Carney Park orSupport Site pool. Beginning today, the Carney Park pool willbe open Fri.-Sun. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., until Aug. 25. StartingMon., June 17, the Support Site pool will be open Fri.-Tue.,noon to 7 p.m. The Support Site pool will be closed each Weds.and Thurs., excepting Thurs. July 4. Capo’s indoor pool will beclosed June 15-Sep. 2 for renovations, so it’s a great time topick up a seasonal Splashcard for either Carney Park orSupport Site. Registration for summer swim lessons is alsoongoing, with classes to be held June 17-27 at the Support Site.Registration must be completed in person at the Support Sitepool.

There are plenty of other summer activities coming up soon,including tomorrow’s “Barkin’ BBQ” for military families, host-ed by USO Naples. The event will be held at the Support Site’sCentral Park and include kids’ activities, food vendors, musicalentertainment and a pet parade. In the coming weeks, theBritish Fete at Lago Patria and Festa Americana will provideopportunities to kick back and relax. Continue to be mindful ofthe weather, and enjoy the beautiful Naples summer!

General Election of MayorsOn Sunday and Monday, Italy held

a run-off ballot for the general elec-tion of mayors held last month inmore than 500 towns and cities. Thecenter-left Democratic Party (PD)candidate in Rome, former surgeonIgnazio Marino, took 64 percent ofvotes in the run-off ballot, defeatingthe former mayor Gianni Alemanno.The left Democratic Party (PD) wonall 16 provincial capitals, to regainsome momentum after its disas-trous start to the year, which sawPier Luigi Bersani toppled as partyleader of PD party. The local elec-tions have no direct impact onnational government but the resultshould reinforce the position ofPrime Minister Enrico Letta, whohas had to struggle with widespreadperceptions that Berlusconi ispulling the strings in the coalition.Although Berlusconi is not a mem-ber of the government, the 76-year-old media billionaire has pressedthe prime minister for aggressivetax cuts, despite the strained stateof Italy's public finances, sayingthey are a condition for his support.The grand coalition between Letta'scenter-left PD and the PDL hasaroused little enthusiasm, evenamong its members, but it was theonly viable possibility after no partysecured a majority in parliament.Monday's result underlined broadpopular disillusionment with Italy'sparties, with a dramatic slump invoter turnout in the capital to 45percent, down from 63 percent inthe run-off in 2008 when Alemannobecame mayor. On Tuesday the left-right party government vowed to

move quickly on pledges to revivethe stuck economy that would passa decree featuring urgent measuresbefore the EU summit at the end ofthis month. The decree wouldinclude measures for simplifyingbureaucracy, a “bonus” for firmswho put young people on long-termcontracts, tax brakes and free upenergy and resources. The pledgecame amid further evidence of thedepth of the country's longest reces-sion for 20 years, with a leadingsmall-business association sayingtaxes were literally choking themout of existence.

The Naples NJROTC cadets earned yet anoth-er Distinguished Unit award and added their13th streamer to the NJROTC flag that wel-comes each cadet into their classroom daily.

The Distinguished Unit designation is award-ed annually to schools that fit the profile of awell-rounded unit. Competing units are rankedaccording to military proficiency, level of apti-tude, and school support.

NJROTC Program Director, J. D. Smith,wrote, “Naples American High School’s achieve-ment of the Distinguished Unit designation isdirectly attributable to the strong support andencouragement that you have given theNJROTC program.”

Smith granted the administrative head of theNaples unit, Principal Duane Werner, theauthorization to nominate three eligible cadetsfor admission to the U.S Naval Academy, threeto the U.S Military Academy, and three to theU.S Air Force Academy.

Earning an honor such as this took practiceand preparation.

Cadets vigorously readied themselves for theArea Managers Inspection in February. Everyclass period, there was a survey of knowledgeposted on the projection screen to ensure thecadets knew the required information like theback of their hand.

The cadets were challenged using an electron-ic question response system that asked aboutgeneral orders, official ranks, and basic militaryfacts. Every cadet was expected to brush up ontheir knowledge and maintain their uniform inpristine condition. Along with understandingwhat NJROTC is about, cadets also had to knowregulations for uniform wear. Each ribbon ordecoration applied to the uniform has a specificmeasurement and placement, which is impera-tive for this particular inspection.

“February 13th was a long day, but in the endwe rightfully received an elite award that willstay with our unit for years to come,” said CadetDanny Byrnes, NJROTC Naples training officer.

The Career Management Sys -tem Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) application phase, for Sailorsin their permanent change of sta-tion (PCS) orders negotiationwindow, will take place June 13 -June 25 until 5 a.m.

CMS/ID is the web-based pro-gram enlisted Sailors use toreview and apply for PCSorders seven to nine monthsfrom their projected rotationdate (PRD). Sailors may accessthe site at https://www.cmsid.navy.mil or from the CMS/IDlink at www.npc.navy.mil .

This is the first applicationphase for Sailors with a March2014 PRD, the second applica-tion phase for Sailors with aFebruary 2014 PRD and thelast application phase forSailors with a January 2014PRD.

Eligible Sailors may reviewadvertised billets in CMS/IDduring the application phaseand apply for up to five jobs,either directly using CMS/IDor through a command careercounselor (CCC).

The application phase is typi-cally about ten days, allowing

Sailors time to review avail-able jobs, research billets anddiscuss options with their fam-ily and chain of commandbefore making applicationsbefore the application phasecloses.

CMS/ID features a "SailorPreference" section under the"Sailor Info Tab" where Sailorsmay rank duty preferences bytype, command, location, plat-form and community, as wellas indicate which special pro-grams and schools they wouldlike and leave comments forthe detailer.

Detailers will alwaysattempt to fill billets using aSailor's desired selectionsfirst; however, Fleet readinessrequirements are the guidingfactor in filling billets.Detailers must also follow sea-shore flow guidelines outlinedin NAVADMIN 361/12, sounless a Sailor requests SeaDuty Incentive Pay (SDIP) orthe Voluntary Sea DutyProgram (VSDP) to take con-secutive sea duty orders, aSailor up for shore dutyshould not be involuntarilyassigned another sea tour. Itmay mean a Sailor hoping forshore duty in Hawaii or

Washington may receive shoreduty someplace else, wherethe need is greater.

A single set of sea billets, pri-oritized by U.S. Fleet ForcesCommand, and a single set ofshore billets, prioritized byU.S. Fleet Forces Commandand Bureau of Naval Personnelare advertised each applicationcycle as the Navy seeks to fillgaps at sea and place Sailorswith the right experience lev-els and skill-sets into high-pri-ority Fleet billets.

Some factors a detailer mustweigh when matching Sailorsto jobs include the Sailor'sdesires, qualifications, trainingavailability, career progressionand cost to the Navy.

Detailers won't assign Sailorsto advertised jobs until afterthe close of the applicationphase, during the detailerselection phase. Sailors maylog into CMS/ID anytime afterthe detailer selection phase tosee if they have been selectedfor orders.

Sailors can learn more aboutCMS/ID from their CCC oraccess CMS/ID by selecting theCMS/ID link on the NavyPersonnel Command websiteat www.npc.navy.mil .

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announcedtoday the next three joint high speed vessels(JHSV) will be named USNS Yuma, USNSBismarck and USNS Burlington, and two littoralcombat ships (LCS) will be named USS Billingsand USS Tulsa.

"It is my privilege as Secretary of the Navy toname these ships after five great American cities,"said Mabus. "Several cities will be represented forthe first time in the Navy fleet, establishing a newconnection and tradition that forms a bondbetween a city's residents and the Sailors andMarines who serve in its namesake ship. Fordecades to come, these ships will sail in the fleet,building partnerships and projecting power aroundthe world."

Joint high speed vessels are named after smallAmerican cities and counties. The future USNSYuma (JHSV 8) honors the city in Arizona and willbe the fourth ship to bear this name. USNSBismarck (JHSV 9) is the first naval vessel to benamed in honor of North Dakota's capital city.USNS Burlington (JHSV10) is the first to benamed for the city in Vermont.

JHSV are high-speed transport vessels that servein a variety of roles for the military branches insupport of overseas contingency operations, con-ducting humanitarian assistance and disaster

relief and supporting special operations forces. Austal USA in Mobile, Ala., will build the three

new JHSV, which will be 338 feet in length, have awaterline beam of 93.5 feet, displace approximate-ly 2,362 tons, and operate at speeds of approxi-mately 40 knots.

Littoral combat ships are named to recognizecities that are one of the five most-populated com-munities in a state. USS Billings (LCS 15) isnamed in honor of Montana's largest city and willbe the first ship to bear the name. USS Tulsa (LCS16) will be the second ship named for Oklahoma'ssecond-largest city.

These ships are designed to defeat growing littoralthreats and provide access and dominance in thecoastal waters. A fast, agile surface combatant, theLCS provides the required war fighting capabilitiesand operational flexibility to execute focused mis-sions close to the shore such as mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare.

USS Billings is a Freedom-variant littoral combatship and will be constructed by Lockheed Martinwith Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wis. Thisship will be 378 feet long, have a beam length of57.4 feet and travel at speeds in excess of 40 knots.

USS Tulsa is an Independence-variant littoralcombat ship and is being built by Austal USA inMobile, Ala. It will be 419 feet long and have abeam length of 103.7 feet and be capable of operat-ing at speeds in excess of 40 knots.

If you haven't taken the following steps towardswater conservation in your home, then today isthe day to start. • Fix all leaks. This is the most obvious thing

that you can do to stop wasting water at home.• Replace your showerhead with a low-flow alter-

native. You shower every day so it's important to reduce theamount of water that you're using when you do.

• Install aerators in your other faucets. Your showerhead isn'tthe only faucet where too much water is coming out at once.Add aerators to your other faucets to reduce the amount ofwater flow.

• Convert your toilet to a low-flush toilet. Waste less water everytime that you flush. One simple way to do this is to fill a plas-tic milk jug halfway with pebbles or gravel and put it inside ofyour toilet tank.

• Insulate all of your hot water pipes. You waste a lot of water byrunning it to heat it up. This is a lot less likely to be a problemif your water pipes are properly insulated.

• Water your plants with your extra water. Collect rainwater aswell as safe water around the house and use this in landscapewatering around your home.

• Turn off the water when you are at the sink. When brushingteeth and shaving at the sink, stop letting the water run.Learn to wash your face with cool water instead of letting itrun to heat up. These little things do make a difference dayafter day.

• Do full loads of everything that requires water. Dishwashersand washing machines should never be run when they are onlyhalf-full. It's a waste of water.

• Find ways to replace water use with other options. For exam-ple, if you usually use running water to thaw your frozenmeats then consider stopping that practice and thawing them

Sailors from the guided-missile destroyer USS Gonzalez (DDG66) and Tanzanian People’s Defence Force (TPDF) navyexchanged best practices and exercised techniques of maritimeinterdiction in the Indian Ocean, June 6.

The military-to-military bilateral training event focused on thefundamentals of visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) throughboth classroom and hands-on training.

A 13-member boarding team from the TPDF navy embarkedGonzalez and practiced a non-compliant boarding scenario inwhich participants tactically boarded Gonzalez at sea.

The joint training was conducted to enhance the Tanzaniannavy’s proficiencies in boarding vessels and strengthen regionalmaritime security. The event also served as an opportunity forpartnership and cooperation between the two navies.

"Today's VBSS exercise with the Tanzanian People's DefenceForce navy was an excellent opportunity to interact with one ofour partner nations in East Africa,” said Lt. Cmdr. Kyle Gantt,Gonzalez’s executive officer. “Not only were we able to build onthe technical skills required to conduct maritime security opera-tions at sea, we furthered relationships between our Sailors andthe partnership between our navies. It was a great day of train-ing at sea."

Tanzanian navy members approached and climbed aboardGonzalez via the destroyer’s rigid hull inflatable boats as if theevent were a real world boarding. Once aboard, the boardingteam demonstrated professional teamwork as they swept theship and successfully handled the training scenario.

TPDF navy personnel involved also felt that the combinedtraining was exceptionally valuable.

“Today was a great opportunity to learn new tactics, techniquesand a different point of view,” said Maj. Patrick Sawala, leadtraining officer of the TPDF navy. “Today we were able to board aship with a higher freeboard than we were previously used to.This was a very good experience for us.”

Many aboard Gonzalez benefited as well, as they trained along-side their counterparts and shared best practices.

"This was a great experience for all of us,” said Lt. j.g. CadeSpivey, Gonzalez's VBSS officer. “It's great to interact and trainwith other navies and see what each other bring to the table.”

Gonzalez, homeported in Norfolk, Va., is on a scheduled deploy-ment supporting maritime security operations and theater secu-rity cooperation efforts in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africaarea of responsibility.

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples’ SafetyDepartment held a motorcycle safety standdown, June 7, on the Support Site.

The outdoor course was held to refresh riderson the importance of proper safety while oper-ating a motor bike and included hands-on exer-cises that focused on overall safety techniques,as well as tips for driving in Italy.

“We teach a spiral approach for driving here,”said David Peters, traffic safety manager forNSA. “We call it rider radar. You’re lookingclose and then somewhere else all the time soyour eyes are never fixed on one spot and you’rekeeping a mental picture of everything going onaround you.”

Some of the topics covered included perform-ing maintenance checks on a motor vehicle’stires, controls, lights, oil, chassis and kick-stand. Also covered was the search, evaluateand execute topic, or SEE. SEE is a methodused while driving that helps teach motorists tosearch their surroundings, evaluate what

actions to take in a given situation and executesaid actions.

“You have to watch out for traffic, road condi-tions like potholes and changes in road trac-tion,” said Peters. “That’s why we did the turn-ing and braking exercises out here; that’swhere, as motorcyclists, we hurt ourselves themost.”

There are several motorcycle safety coursestaught in addition to the yearly safety standdown. The Basic Rider Course, ExperiencedRider Course and Advanced Rider Course areheld every 2 weeks for the basic class and everymonth for the advanced classes. The AdvancedRider Course is required every two years foractive motorcycle license holders in order tomaintain their license and gas coupon privileges.

Classes are taught not only by instructorsfrom the NSA Safety Department, but also byvolunteers who are active motorcycle riders.

Peters notes that the safety office is alwayslooking for more volunteer instructors.

Mount Whitney Commemorates Battle of Midway By MCC Allison Pittam, U.S. Naval Forces

Europe-Africa, U.S. 6th Fleet Public Affairs

Sailors gathered on the deck of theU.S. 6th Fleet flagship, USS MountWhitney (LCC 20), to participate in aceremony commemorating the 71stanniversary of the Battle of Midway,June 5.

The Battle of Midway took placeJune 4-7, 1942, when U.S. Navy car-rier strike forces, and shore-basedpatrol bombers prevented theJapanese from capturing control ofMidway Island in the Pacific. Thevictory is viewed by many as theturning point in the Pacific and is animportant marker in naval heritage.U.S. Sailors throughout the Navytake time to commemorate the his-toric battle.

Vice Adm. Frank C. Pandolfe, com-mander of U.S. 6th Fleet, spokeabout events leading up to the Battleof Midway and how it changed thepath of history.

“In the middle of 1942, people hadbegun to doubt if democracy couldsurvive and whether freedom couldsurvive,” said Pandolfe. “Then, threevictories came our way. TheRussians, at Stalingrad, stopped theGermans. The British Empire, at ElAlamein, stopped the Germans in thedesert. The U.S. Navy, at Midway,stopped the Japanese.”

Pandolfe explained that from June1942 to the end of the war in 1945,victory followed victory, but the pivotwas the Battle of Midway in the sum-mer of 1942.

“If those victories had not takenplace, the world we have today wouldbe very different,” said Pandolfe.“That is why we are here today, toremember the young men andwomen who changed the future.”

shared stories highlighting the honor,courage and commitment of those whofought in the pivotal battle.

“It is a big part of our history and weneed to honor those who made theultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Ithink this ceremony is very importantand it keeps our heritage alive,” said

Chief Ship's Serviceman MaximoCaimares, who helped plan the com-memoration.

The ceremony concluded with amoment of silence to honor the memo-ry of those who died during the Battleof Midway.

“It makes you realize how valuable

each and every member of our crew is,just listening to the different eventsthat were described,” said FireControlman 2nd Class ChristopherLight. “One individual can change thecourse of an entire battle. It’s reallyinspiring and gives me a great feelingof pride and accomplishment.”

While embarked on the command and control ship, USSMount Whitney (LCC 20), members of Striking and SupportForces NATO (SFN) and U.S. 6th Fleet completed a week oftraining, June 7, that focused on integrating U.S. Forceswith NATO.

One of SFN’s missions is to seamlessly integrate U.S. car-rier or expeditionary strike groups into a NATO-led opera-tion.

The embark allowed the two staffs to practice how to dothat, while also learning the cultural and language differ-ences of the 11 nations that make up SFN.

“We exist to integrate U.S. forces into the wider NATOmaritime piece,” said Rear Adm. Tim Lowe, deputy com-mander, SFN. “It is the distinct combination of capabilitiesthat exist aboard Mount Whitney that makes it the optimumstrategic location for 6th Fleet and SFN maritime headquar-ters to be based,”

“Mount Whitney is the command ship for U.S. 6th FleetCommander Vice Adm. Frank Pandolfe, who also commandsSFN. The flagship is the first choice for a command and con-trol platform in the event of a SFN maritime operation,” saidCraig Linderman, 6th Fleet’s Joint Training Readiness andExercises division chief. Linderman explained that the inte-gration training was also an opportunity for the two staffsget to know each other’s capabilities.

“This opportunity allows us to build respect between ourorganizations and build rapport and develop bonds of friend-ship,” said Linderman. “By working through this process wemake advances on four fronts; respect, rapport, understand-ing each other, and developing and building patience.”

“Mount Whitney brings us together in a close environ-ment. We work together and solve problems together, but wealso get to know each other after the work day,” saidLinderman.

To streamline multinational maritime operations betweenSFN and the U.S, the two staffs worked to overcome differ-ences in language, culture and technology.

“Working in a multinational environment provides anopportunity to learn and understand each other’s languages,different points of view and experiences. It is the combina-tion of all of these elements that gives us the ability to reachsolutions together, making us stronger as one force, ratherthan individual nations operating separately,” said Lowe.

For French Navy Lt. Cmdr. Julian Glasson, who spent thepast 15 years flying maritime patrol aircraft for the FrenchNavy, working in a multinational environment onboardMount Whitney was a new experience. Glasson joined lastyear to work in the SFN air branch managing air space plan-ning and operations and said that for him, getting to knowthe people was the most valuable part of the integrationtraining.

“It is the most important thing to know each other, to knowthe people I will be working with,” said Glasson. “The keylesson for me is that while terminology might be different,getting to know each other brings a commonality betweenorganizations and operations. As a structure, we have differ-ent acronyms, names of working groups and names of func-tions; but we have a singular goal.”

At the close of the training the SFN and 6th Fleet staffgathered together to discuss what they had accomplishedduring the extended embark onboard Mount Whitney.

“We learned quite a few lessons from past operations suchas Odyssey Dawn and Unified Protector that we folded intothis integration exercise,” said Capt. Jack Thomas, SFN,director of operations. “Fundamentally, we learned that theeffective integration of U.S. and NATO forces requiresdetailed planning and very close working relationships toachieve the level of teamwork demanded by today's threatenvironments,” said Thomas. “We achieved these two thingsduring this evolution. The U.S. and NATO teams are nowbetter poised to roll up their sleeves together and tackle col-lective problems successfully."

Following the Hermitage, the group visited Pushkin. This citywas founded by Aleander Sergevevich Pushkin, who was aRussian author during the Romantic era. He is considered bymany to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modernRussian literature. The group then visited the Peterhof Gardensand Park.

The Chief of NavalOperations has developed aworking group focused onreducing the administrativeoverhead on commands, allow-ing Sailors to spend more timeand energy on "warfightingfirst."

"Our goal is to give back toour warfighters, and includeseveryone from the CO to thedeckplate leaders, more time tofocus on the things they need todo," said Rear Adm. HermanShelanski, deputy to the direc-tor of Naval NuclearPropulsion, and director for theworking group.

"These Sailors need to be mis-sion ready, they need to under-stand their weapons systems,they need to know how to gettheir ship underway safely andthey need time to do that."

Instead, feedback from thefleet indicates that Sailors arespending far too much time onadministrative tasks, such asduplicative training or compet-ing requirements. CNO is hop-ing that a review of theserequirements with an eyetoward restoring balance willallow our force to be more effi-cient and effective.

"We plan to accomplish thistask in phases," saidShelanski. In phase one weplan to really gather informa-tion, and look at the broadbrush picture of everything outthere that can affect us. Inphase two we plan to narrowthe scope and take a hard lookat what we can take care ofvery quickly. Phase three isabout putting that informationinto action - then repeat. Thiswill be a flywheel where weconstantly repeat the cycle tocontinue to find balance."

Within the week the teamplans to have a Website up,which will allow Sailors tobegin submitting feedbackimmediately. The hope is thatsome commands have alreadyidentified ways to reduce someof these administrative bur-dens and will now have accessto a broader audience in whichto share that information. Asurvey will also be going out tosolicit even more informationfrom commands to find outwhat they are spending themost time on and get it fixed.

"We want amazing, innova-tive creative young Sailors ofany rank to write in to us," saidShelanski. "Here is an admin-istrative process that I'mspending all my time on and if

She always led by action andspoke quiet words of encouragementand motivation to her teammates.Although the girl’s squad went intoEuropeans qualifying in severalrelays and individual track events,they did not have having qualifyingpeople in the field events.

With that input they plan tomove ahead quickly to getsome affect back to the fleetand buy them some time.Although they want fast actionfrom the fleet on this, theydon't want this process tobecome another time drain onour Sailors.

"We just need to know what ishurting everyone's head," saidShelanski. "Training is a bigone, and we think there is away to make that more effi-cient. Take something as com-mon as a zone inspection.Walking around with an offi-cer, followed by a petty officer,we've got a process in placethat is sucking up time andthis guy is writing thingsdown, then he's got to go to acomputer and fat finger thenotes into a data base sothere's got to be someone whohas an idea on how to makethat a little more efficient.”

“The hope is that in a coupleof weeks, once the team has afull excel spreadsheet ofinputs; they can narrow thefocus to some of the things thatthey can handle,” saidShelanski. “Maybe the trainingpiece cause I think that is onethat tends to affect a lot of thecommands throughout thefleet.”

"We think there is going to bea flood of information," saidShelanski. "So putting togeth-er that information in a propermanner so we can systemati-cally go through it will be achallenge. But an even biggerchallenge is the culturalchange that we hope to effectin the future."

The team will also look atWebsites that hold repetitiveinformation and try to find anIT solution to the problem.

"If our sailors are burdened bysystems like that then certainlyit's one of the things we want toaddress," said Shelanski. "It'sour obligation to Sailors to givethem the time that they need todo the right things."
