USO Naples

Some of the most meaningful work happens before anyone is watching.

Meet Justino García, our Volunteer of the Month. We may not see Justino often, because he is usually at USO Capodichino long before the rest of us arrive. When he offered to open the center, we were thrilled, and his early mornings have quietly become one of the most valuable parts of our day.

Every morning, Justino makes sure the center is stocked, ready, and welcoming, so the first service member through the door walks into a place that already feels like home. That kind of steady care is what makes our center a place people count on.

Justino, thank you for turning on the lights and setting us up to serve. Your care makes a difference long before the first guest arrives. 💙

If you could ask the Commanding Officer one question, what would it be? 🤔

Here's your chance to ask it in person. Coffee with the Skipper brings CAPT Benjamin Foster, Commanding Officer of NSA Naples, together with our community for a morning of open conversation. No stage, no podium, just coffee and a real chance to be heard.

Drop your question in the comments to get us thinking, then bring it with you on the 23rd

Friday, 23 October | 10:00 to 11:00 AM | Fellowship Hall, Village Forum Complex, 1st floor

Little feet, big dance moves, and more bubbles than we could count 🫧

Toddler Time was full of giggles yesterday as our littlest friends danced, chased bubbles, and soaked up every second of play. These mornings give our toddlers a place to move, explore, and make friends, and give parents a chance to connect with others who get this season of life.

A huge thank you to EDIS, EFMP, and New Parent Support for always bringing so much joy and energy to this program. Our toddlers are lucky to have you 💙

Last Thursday’s Troop Time with FMP was a great chance to connect! We have resources available every week, and we’d love to hear from you: What would you like to see more of at Troop Time? Share your ideas in the comments or send us a DM- and join us for lunch tomorrow!

Coffee in one hand, glue gun in the other 👻

Calling all future USO volunteers!

This Monday, 11am to 12pm, swing by the USO lounge in the Capo air terminal, 1st floor, for our Volunteer Open House. Learn how to get involved, and if you're already in the process, finish up your onboarding and grab your USO volunteer t-shirt while you're there. Come hang out in the lounge and see why our volunteers love it here! 🙌

Dinosaurs, lemonade, and cookies... yesterday's Craft Attack had it all! Kids dug into their scratchable dino art while the cooler weather made hanging out in the Village Forum even better.

Huge thanks to our volunteers for keeping the fun going, and to everyone who came out to join us. Next Wednesday can't come soon enough, see you there! 🦕✨

October means the spooky season is settling into Italy, and our partners at S&G Tours have a full month of adventures waiting for you. Whether you're craving one last grape stomp at Porto di Mola, a boat ride along the Amalfi Coast to Positano, or a wander through the catacombs and underground tunnels of Naples, there's a spot for you.

Late in the month, join a weekend into Italy's eerie side, from the Witches of Benevento and a Harry Potter pub dinner on October 24 to the Park of Monsters in Bomarzo on October 25, for two days of local folklore and a change of scenery.

Exploring Italy together is one more way our community stays connected. Find details and register at www.sg-tours.com

Tonight's the night! 🔥 Single Service Members, head over to the Support Site Triangle from 5:30-7 PM for a Taste of Home BBQ hosted by USO with support from MWR Liberty.
Good food, great people, and a chance to unwind with your fellow sailors.

Plus, the CMC will be there, so it's a great opportunity to ask questions and have your voice heard. USO's got the BBQ covered, just bring your appetite and come hang out. See you at the Triangle!
