NSA Naples- Comedy With A Four Star Message is here!

CONGRATS to Summer Duncan and Antonio Perez, “I Killed” raffle book winners!!

I’m psyched to be here in Naples, Italy …the birthplace of PIZZA!   But MORE Than that, Naples is home to U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy  and is a host to more than 50 separate commands and approximately 8,500 personnel. It is home to U.S. Naval Forces Europe and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. The main function of Naval Support Activity Naples is to act as a support base and provide administration assistance to other military bases in the immediate area.  Thank you to Chief Villasante and colleagues for your help in getting me here I will be at the Base Theater at 1300 and 1500 on Thursday 27 July.  Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing some laughter and an important message!
