Flags were out for the Jan. 27 grand opening of Catalina Heights, a development of 32 single-family homesand 283 townhomes that replaced Cold War-era military housing off Las Posas Road in Camarillo.

By Andrea HowryLighthouse editor

Catalina Heights, formerly a1959 military housing develop-ment in Camarillo that one ex-resident described as “bomb shel-ter chic,” officially reopened onJan. 27 as a state-of-the-art hous-ing complex that both militaryand civic leaders called a forward-thinking example of smartgrowth.“This is a ‘green’ development

that’s ahead of the curve,” Ca-marilloMayor Kevin Kildee toldthe crowd of about 200 that gath-ered for the ribbon-cutting cere-mony. Afterward, he described itas a “tremendous asset to boththe city and military.”Capt. JimMcHugh, command-

ing officer of Naval Base Ven-tura County, called the complex“truly extraordinary.”“These are not the military

quarters of your father andgrandfather,”he said. “I am bothproud and pleased with this proj-ect.”CatalinaHeights will feature 32

single-family homes and 283townhomes upon completion.About 150 residences are fin-ished, and families beganmovingin in late 2009.Among themwere SeniorChief

Petty Officer James Jones and hiswife, Patricia, along with their

Oct. 1, 2010, marks the 10-year anniver-sary of the establishment of Naval BaseVentura County, the official date that Na-val Air Station Point Mugu and Construc-tion Battalion Center Port Hueneme com-bined under a single commander.In recognition of the anniversary, The

Lighthouse is publishing these “Lookingback” items that detail the history of thetwo bases leading up to their unified com-mand and that recall the major news of thelast 10 years.

•As was the case with the Construction

Battalion Center, Port Hueneme, the Na-val Air Station at PointMugu had its rootsinWorldWar II— specifically, Nazi Ger-many’s V-1 buzz bombs and V-2 rockets.By the time the war was over, U.S. mil-

itary forces had recognized the need for abetter response to the threat thoseGermanweapons posed. It was Capt. GraysonMerrill, then a commander, whomade thecase for establishing a Navy missile testrange.Twenty-six locations were surveyed as

a possible site for the test range, includingspots in the Caribbean and Baja Califor-nia— and PointMugu, where the Seabeesat Port Hueneme had already staked outsome land for training. A Japanese fishingcamp had already been closed, severaltemporary structures had been built onthe site and a 5,000-foot Marston matrunway had been laid.“The final recommendation of Point

Mugu was based on its inherent advan-tages: an unobstructed sea test range, off-shore islands for instrumentation, gener-

ally good weather and proximity to theaircraft industry of Southern California,”states “Days of Challenge, Years ofChange: A Technical History of the Pa-cific Missile Test Center.”Not everyone was in favor of theMugu

site. The congressional committee thatfinally approved of Mugu counted 77 lo-cal ranchers opposing the site and 330ranchers and industrial and civic leaders

Looking back

26 sites vie for missile range; Mugu wins

February 2006: Naval Base VenturaCounty hosted the 2006 Armed ForcesBoxing Championships Feb. 7-10, andeach night brought in a full house of spec-tators to Port Hueneme’s Warfield Gym-nasium.It was the first time in three years mili-

tary boxing had taken place at NBVC.Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine

Corps team competed.“WarfieldGymnasium lookedmore like

the boxing arenas you see on television,”The Lighthouse reported in its Feb. 23edition. “There were ringside judges intheir white pants and back bow ties, tables

set up around the boxing ring, dim lightsand a sea of spectators from all branchesof the military and civilian supporters.”The tournament began at 6 p.m. each

evening.“Round by round,”The Lighthouse re-

ported, “a finalist in a variety of weightclasses was determined through several

single-elimination bouts.”Information Systems Technician 2nd

Class (SW) Triva Pino, USS Port Royal(CG 73) Sailor and Leadville, Colo., na-tive, became the first Navy female ArmedForces Boxing Champion on Feb. 8 whenshe defeated SeniorAirmanLeJoyceGros-sett in four rounds.“This type of tournament is good for

morale and we are all excited to witnessit,” said Aviation Maintenance Adminis-trationman 3rd Class Brian Santa Cruz,Naval Weapons Test Squadron PointMugu (VX-30). “It makes me want to getout there and participate.”

SEABEE BALLI amwriting this article during a layover

at theWill RogersWorld Airport in Okla-homaCity. I just spent three inspiring dayswith the Oklahoma National Guard andAir National Guard Family ProgramsOf-fice.While it was a great trip, it was packedfull of meetings, trainings, meals and net-working. This is one weary traveler.When I was dropped off at the airport,

my host suggested I check out theMilitaryWelcome Center at the airport. I thoughtI was going to visit a USO center at theairport. Many of us know the USO oper-ates military centers at many airportsacross the country, which is truly a bless-ing to many military travelers in transit.This center, however, is not aUSO facil-

ity. I learned this center was staffed byvolunteers in conjunction with the ArmedForces YMCA of Oklahoma City. ClydeTulles, central director, humbly states thisis the only CONUS YMCA-operated fa-cility. He is proud of this operation— andhe should be!I was warmly greeted by the staff of five

volunteers. They quickly thanked me formy support of my husband and directedme to the Internet service, computers, liv-ing room lounge area, complimentarysnacks and beverages. They have cellphones with free minutes for service mem-bers to call home. They are prepared forthemilitary family as well, with games andtoys for the children. This facility evensports an additional roomwith cots, blan-kets and pillows for weary or overnightmilitary to rest and relax.TheMilitaryWelcomeCenter was start-

ed by the Blue Star Moms in the area.With Tinker Air Force Base and Fort Sill,it was clear the facility needed to operatefull time, and they needed assistance. Theyapproached the Armed Forces YMCA

and, with the volunteers and airport man-agement support, a wonderful relationshipwas formed and the YMCAMilitaryWel-come Center was born.As I visited, I was struck by the deep

desire of the volunteers to “love on” themilitary and their families who passthrough their facility. It struck me that itwas such a boost and blessing to me, aweary military spouse. How much moreit must be to our traveling military!Clyde asked that I make it clear that

military welcome centers are not just forthemilitary but for the entiremilitary fam-ily — spouses, children, even parents andgrandparents who are traveling with theirSoldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine.As you travel, and with today’s often

long waits between check-in and depar-ture, stop by the military welcome centerat your airport for a great place for youand your family to wait. You’re sure to begreeted by caring volunteers who are wait-ing for you!

Naval Base Ventura County personnelwere among the hundreds who attendedthe Jan. 31 10-year anniversary commem-oration of the crash of Alaska AirlinesFlight 261 that claimed 88 lives.Friends and familymembers praised the

efforts of local search and rescue crewswho responded to the crash scene thosemany years ago.“The crash changed their lives as well,”

said Tom Crane, father of one of the vic-tims.During the ceremony, a single rose was

placed at the name of each victim etchedinto the memorial sundial at HuenemeBeach. There was a moment of silence at4:22 p.m. A Coast Guard helicopter flewover the beach, then went to the actualcrash site and dropped 88 roses into thewater.After all the names of the victims had

been read, a bagpiper led friends and fam-ilymembers to the water’s edge. Each fam-ily had a white balloon, which they re-leased into the air — when they wereready.Flight 261 was en route from Puerto

Vallarta, Mexico, to San Francisco andon to Seattle when it went down six milesoff Port Hueneme. There were no survi-vors.

By now we are all aware of the recenttragedy in Haiti — thousands of lives lostfrom the devastating earthquake, andthousands lacking basic essentials for lifesuch as clean water, food and shelter.It’s simply heartbreaking to see somany

suffer!At times like these, even when a close

family member, a close friend or co-work-er is going through extreme suffering, isthere a right way and a wrong way to re-spond? How can we be more helpful thanharmful?For example, in the Christian Scriptures,

in the book of Job (pronounced “Jobe”),the Bible describes Job as amanwho “wasblameless and upright; he fearedGod andshunned evil.” In the cosmic discoursebetween God and Satan, Satan basicallyargues that Job honors and serves Godbecause God has blessed him with a fam-ily and all his riches, and that if God wereto take all that away from him, Job wouldcurse him. So in short, Job is put throughan extreme test to see if he would remainfaithful to God even after everything, ex-

cept his wife, is taken away from him andhe is inflicted with extreme physical suf-fering.During Job’s intense suffering, his

friends come to comfort him, but they endup doingmore harm than good bymakingfalse judgments that Job is suffering be-cause he has sinned!So, what can we learn from this story?I think that when someone is suffering,

or a group of people are suffering, only

God knows why, and none of us are calledto make assumptions about why. Makingassumptions about why they are sufferingand judging them brings more harm thanhealing.So, what should we do when people suf-

fer?I would suggest we listen to them and

sympathize and empathize with them.Take care of their immediate physicalneeds, such as water, food, shelter andclothing. In the Gospels of ChristianScriptures, when thousands followedChrist, it says that he sat them down andfed them! He took care of their physicalneeds! In the book of James 2:15-16, itsays, “Suppose a brother or sister is with-out clothes and daily food. If one of yousays to him, ‘Go, I wish you well; keepwarm and well fed,’ but does nothingabout his physical needs, what good isit?”When people suffer, we must love them

and care for their needs above all else! Wemust take care of their immediate physicalneeds, and then go from there.

ProgramSpecialist AlanGrow, 30thNavalConstruction Regiment, highlighted theadvancements of the religious programspecialist (RP) rating over the past year.“This is was the first year for the RP

rating under the career field of commu-nity and social services/directors of reli-

gious activities and education instead ofthe administration career field,”saidGrow.“In January 2010 RP ‘A’ school will berelocated to Fort Jackson, S.C., whereRPswill train in the same schoolhouse as AirForce and Army chaplain assistants.Chaplain Basic Course and RP ‘A’ schoolstudents will train together before goingon to the Fleet or Fleet Marine Force asa religious ministries team.”The second speaker during the ceremo-

ny was RP 3rd Class Detrick Robertson,

the most junior religious program special-ist at Kandahar Airfield.“I believe it is a calling — a calling to

support Marines and Sailors with theirreligious beliefs.

Military families now have access toonline resources to assist them with aca-demics. These programs are available freeof charge to military-connected youth.Assistance from parents to set up an ac-count is suggested, but students can oth-erwise access this assistance when need-ed.

Free online tutor help 24/7Whether your student is struggling with

schoolwork, with evening homework ses-sions becoming incredibly stressful, oryour student has an occasional questionon an assignment that you are unable toanswer, online help is available.Maybe you’re a college student who

would like someone to read your paperand give feedback before turning it in.Through an agreement betweenTutor.comand the Navy, online 24/7 tutoring help isavailable free to all U.S. Navy active dutymembers, Navy Reservists on active duty,Navy retirees, Navy family members, andDoD civilians.Access to this resource is through Navy

Knowledge Online (NKO). Often used by

Navy service members completing onlinetrainings, NKO is also available to familymembers for great information, onlinetrainings and an online library, in additionto the new online tutor program. A familymember will be required to create an ac-count withNKO.DEERSwill verify fam-ily member eligibility. Once the account iscreated, the family member will have fullaccess to Tutor.com services.Tutor.com gives students of all ages the

help they need to succeed in school and

beyond. Services offered are online tutoringand career services, including help in everyacademic subject, job search and resumeassistance andGEDpreparation. This canbe helpful to students at all grade levels orpossibly an adult considering going backto school or searching for a job.Through “Proof Point,” students can

submit their written paper to a certifiedteacher. The teacher will read the paper,noting errors and suggestions. Once thepaper is returned, the student can correctthe paper before turning it in.Anotherwonderful option onTutor.com

is the whiteboard. With this option, stu-dents can draworwrite their problemusingthe whiteboard instead of typing it. Thisis incredibly helpful formath problems thatmay be too hard to type using a standardcomputer keyboard.

Student Online Achievement Resources(SOAR)Another online option for students in

grades 3-12 is SOAR.With the SOARpro-gram, military-connected students andstudents attending military-impacted

schools take online achievement tests toidentify academic strengths and areas forimprovement. Once the student registersat www.soarathome.org, the student cancomplete an online assessment, which willidentify the correct academic level accord-ing to the state standards.Once the student’s skills are assessed, the

student can access skill-building exercisesto practice in the areas needing improve-ment. Parents have full access to view thestudent’s progress. Ideas are also given tothe parent to assist the student further.Also, since SOAR taps into state stan-

dards, students can assess where they areacademically according to the state wherethe family is moving. This can ease theconcerns of students whomay be nervousthat they will not perform to the standardsof the new state. If students find they arelacking in an area, skills activities can beused.

By MC3 Ernesto Hernandez FonteKANDAHAR PROVINCE, Afghani-

stan — As the last group of Seabeesstepped off a C-17 transport aircraft Jan.23, NavalMobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 4 stepped into the history booksas the first Seabee battalion surged in sup-port of the president’s uplift strategy an-nounced early December 2009.NMCB4 is a part of theNavy’s engineer

community. Seabees are famous for their“CanDo”motto and getting the job doneduring contingency operations, humani-tarian and disaster relief operations andpeace time. They’ve proven their mettleover the past year in providing generalengineering support to maneuver com-manders in southern Afghanistan, a re-gional hot spot.The majority of the battalion’s more

than 550 personnel are made up of theNavy construction rates of builder, steel-worker, utilitiesman, construction electri-cian, construction mechanic, equipmentoperator and engineering aide. There arealso support personnel, such as hospital

corpsmen, logistics specialists and yeo-men. Leading them are Navy Civil Engi-neer Corps officers.The Seabees will conduct facility con-

struction and defensive operations, asnecessary, throughout their deployment.In addition to standard wood, steel, ma-sonry and concrete construction, the bat-talion is also expected to perform special-ized construction such as water-welldrilling and battle damage repair. Able towork and defend themselves at construc-tion sites “outside the wire” and convoythrough unsecured areas, the battalionwillcomplete projects in northern Afghani-stan.NMCB 4 is one of three Seabee bat-

talions currently deployed in support ofOperation Enduring Freedom. It will playa key role in providing necessary engineer-ing support to arrivingU.S. and CoalitionForces.

Five mobile power plants and six tech-nicians from the Mobile Utility SupportEquipment (MUSE) division of NavalFacilities Expeditionary Logistics Centerdeparted Jan. 25 for U.S. Naval StationGuantanamo Bay (GTMO) to supportHaiti relief efforts.The equipment, totaling 7.3 megawatts

of power, will support Naval FacilitiesEngineering Command Southeast’s effortsto provide logistics support for OperationUnified Response.“We were able to deploy these assets in

a short period of time because of MUSE’songoing shore power renovation projectusing fully integrated power plants,” saidConstruction Electrician 1st Class JuanAragon, who is in charge of the MUSEproject in GTMO.At 68,000 pounds, the integrated power

plant is 75 percent lighter than old-stylegenerator sets and can be shipped insidea standard 40-by-8-foot ISO containerrequiring no special rigging equipment.

“We can now respond to utility short-ages and emergencies faster and be moreefficient when we get there,” said Aragon.“This can be critical in a situation whereyou are supporting a relief effort likeHaiti.”MUSE serves the Department of the

Navy and Department of Defense, pro-viding power generation, transformationand steam-generating equipment to sup-port worldwide Navy and Departmentof Defense utility shortfalls and emergen-cies.

children Robert, 10, and Breanna, 17. Itwas Robert who cut the ribbon at the cer-emony.“If my wife likes it and the kids like it,

it’s easier for me when I go on deploy-ment,” Jones said. “It makes my life easywhen I don’t have to worry about them.”And do they like it?“It’s a dream come true,” said Patricia.

“The fresh paint, the architecture — it’sbeautiful.”CatalinaHeights was redeveloped under

an innovative private-public partnershipbetween the Department of the Navy,ClarkRealty Capital and LincolnMilitaryHousing. It is the fourth phase of SanDiego Family Housing, the Navy’s largestpublic-private venture under theMilitaryHousing Privatization Initiative. The proj-ect encompasses 12,500 homes in morethan 50 communities across California andNevada.The $120million CatalinaHeights proj-

ect required demolishing 315 homes builtin 1959 on 51 acres and replacing themwith energy-efficient residences laid outin a pedestrian-friendly design.“This development is very much what

future developments will look like fromhere on out,” Kildee said. “It follows thesmart-growth theory. Shopping, grocerystores, restaurants — everything is acces-sible by bike or by walking.”Las Posas Elementary School, a Cali-

fornia Distinguished School, is also with-in walking distance.In fact, 15 children from the school took

the five-minute walk to the ribbon-cuttingceremonywith their principal, JamesMar-tinez.“This is a huge lesson for the kids,” he

said, explaining why the children werepulled out of school for a couple of hours.“This is a great example of what happenswhen all these different organizations —the city, the local housing authority andthe military — get along and cooperate

A crowd gathers for the grand opening of Catalina Heights.

Housing:CatalinaHeights getsa fresh start


Las Posas Elementary School Principal James Martinez leads 15 students in “It’s a GrandOld Flag.” Currently, about 10 percent of his school’s 375 students are from militaryfamilies. By September, when Catalina Heights is fully occupied and school starts againafter the summer break, he expects it to be between 35 and 40 percent.


Camarillo Mayor Kevin Kildee, who grew upin Camarillo and remembers well the originalCapehart military housing of the 1950s,called the new development “a tremendousasset.” Looking on is Capt. Jim McHugh,commanding officer of Naval Base VenturaCounty.

From African fashions worn by Nige-rians and Ugandans to songs from thecivil rights movement, black history camealive Jan. 20 asNaval Base Ventura Coun-ty (NBVC) hosted a program and lun-cheon in honor of Dr.Martin LutherKingand African-American/Black HistoryMonth.More than 200 people braved torrential

rains— “epic weather,” as Capt. AntonioEdmonds, NBVC chief staff officer, de-scribed it in his opening remarks — toattend the program and luncheon at TheGalley.“This is a day of action, remembrance

and celebration,” Edmonds said.He reminded the audience thatKing not

only wanted everyone to have equal op-portunities, but also that everyone takeadvantage of the opportunities theywouldeventually get. To be sure, he said, thereis still work to do onKing’s first hope, butthere is more to do on his second.He urged the audience to walk away

from the event “uplifted and energized”and eager to “promote the efforts of allto achieve their fullest potential.”Six speakers presented “AWalkThrough

Time,”discussing black history in the con-text of African attire, slavery, the civilrights movement, contemporary issuesand a singular memorable achievement

— the election of a black U.S. presidentin 2008, as foreseen by Robert Kennedy40 years earlier.The Tri-Command Choir performed

rousing renditions of “Swing Low, SweetChariot” and “Wade in the Water.”Keynote speaker Jeffrey Clark discussed

the impact that King, whom he called “anagent of change,”had on theUnited Statesand the opportunities he opened up.“I myself am a result of those opportu-

nities,” said Clark, the branch departmenthead forMission Planning Test and Eval-uation at the Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division.King, he said, “inspired many to see

they could make a difference regardlessof status or position.”He “forever changedthe rules,”and with newfound hope, blackAmericans began making strides as neverbefore.Today, Clark pointed out, professional

football has integrated teams, with “na-tionality and ethnicity not the determin-ing factor, but their ability to do the job,”and people of color have parlayed theirideas into Fortune 500 companies.“Opportunities were seized by African-

Americans with skills and aptitudes,” hesaid — opportunities that included thepresidency of the United States.“Strides made as a result of Dr. King

and other civil rights leaders can be vis-ibly seen today,” Clark said.In closing remarks, Capt. JimMcHugh,

commanding officer of NBVC, urged theaudience to maintain a supportive envi-ronment for all.“Let us make the decision to walk the

high road,” he said.After the presentation, The Galley was

open to both civilians and military per-sonnel for a lunch that featured barbe-cued chicken or fried fish, gumbo andcollard greens.

‘Day of action’ commemorates King, black history

Camarillo man brings African fashionsto Black HistoryMonth event on baseIf you don’t know the difference be-

tween a dashiki and a buba, Lowell Pum-phrey Jr. will set you straight.Since 1969, Pumphrey has beenmaking

African clothing — dashikis (shirts), bu-bas (ankle-length dashikis) and agbadas(four-piece ceremonial outfits) included.It’s a skill he fashioned into a business in1983.Pumphrey, of Camarillo, supplied the

African clothes and their histories for theJan. 20 African American/Black HistoryMonth program at Naval Base VenturaCounty. He and three models wore stylesfrom Uganda and Nigeria.Some of the pieces in Pumphrey’s col-

lection he has sewn himself, others havebeen shipped to him from friends in Af-rica.It was aHalloween costume contest that

started it all.“It was 1969, and I had just moved to

Santa Barbara fromOakland,”Pumphreysaid. “I went to the contest as Jimi Hen-drix, and I won!”After that, he started researching Afri-

can designs and sewing his own cre-ations.“Over the years, as I have acquiredmore

African friends through myspace, I haveacquired more African clothing as well,”he said.In addition to Uganda and Nigeria, his

fashion shows usually feature styles fromEgypt and Morocco.

With a media screen to his right, keynote speaker Jeffrey Clark discusses the opportunitiesbrought about by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that helped lead to the election some 40 yearslater of President Barack Obama.

Opportunities wereseized by African-Americans withskills and aptitudes.... Strides made asa result of Dr. Kingand other civil rightsleaders can be visiblyseen today.

Here, he holds up the brightlycolored material most think of as kente, butwhich is, in fact, cotton.

The Tri-Command Choir performs during the Jan. 20 celebration of Black History Month.


It wasn’t just the speakers who told sto-ries during the Jan. 20 African American/BlackHistoryMonth celebration atNavalBase Ventura County.At the side of the room, hanging on

display racks, two quilts silently spokevolumes.The first, a predominately yellow quilt

with an interlocking ring pattern, belongedto Lowell Pumphrey Jr., who had broughtAfrican fashions to the event. The quiltwasmade by his grandmother, who passedaway last year at the age of 92. She hadcopied the pattern from her grandmother,making the design well over a centuryold.Draped on the other rack was a still-

unfinished quilt by LorettaMitchell, whowas at the event to discuss the civil rightsmovement. Done in a star pattern, it isher third quilt, and she’s making it for hersister.“My grandmother made us all quilts,

but she died before she could teach me,”Mitchell explained. “So I’m taking a classon quilting at Ventura College.”The quilts helped illustrate a talk by

UTCNDominiqueRichardson on the rolequilts played during the time of slavery.Many believe quilts held secret codes thatwere used to help slaves escape.A quilt with a “flying geese” pattern,

for example, gave a signal to follow thedirection of the flying geese as they mi-grated north in the spring. A quilt with a“wagon wheel” pattern gave a signal tothe slave to pack the items needed to trav-el by wagon.Richardson said the idea that quilts held

secret codes for fleeing slaves is far fromcertain.“This is still controversial,”Richardson

explained. “There’s no written proof thiswas ever the case.”But one look at the two quilts hanging

at the side of the roomand there’s no ques-tion: Between the loving stitching and thecarefully thought-out choice of fabrics,they’re definitely telling a story.

Quilts have alanguage alltheir own

More local youngsters have the oppor-tunity to learn leadership skills and sea-manship now that a new unit of the U.S.Navy League Cadet Corps has been es-tablished at Naval Base Ventura County.The new unit, Training Ship Nicholas

H. Anderson, was commissioned duringa formal ceremony on Jan. 23 at the Bee-hive Gym. The name of the unit honorsa former Sea Cadet and Ventura Countyresident who, as aMarine lance corporal,was killed in action in Iraq in 2004. An-derson’s father, Al, and brother Jackson,currently a Sea Cadet, attended the cer-emonywithAl’s wife Lisa and their daugh-ter Lena.

“This program trains our youth in thevalues of this country,”Al Anderson saidafter the commissioning. “It gives kidssomething to strive for, instead of sittingaround playing video games.”Sea Cadets, ages 14 to 18, and Navy

League Cadets, ages 10 to 13, can takepart in one- or two-week summer trainingsessions that include boot camp, seaman-ship training, aviation training, construc-tion, field training and leadership.This training shipmakes the fourthU.S.

Naval Sea Cadet Corps unit at NBVC.The Ben Moreel Battalion and TridentPatrol Squadron are Sea Cadet units withabout 70 teenagers, and the Training ShipMinutemen is a Navy League Cadet unit.The Training Ship Nicholas H. Andersoncurrently has 22 children enrolled.About 70 percent of children involved

in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps growup to become involved in some branch ofthe military, said Lt. Cmdr. Vahan Ma-noogian, regional director of the program.About 15 percent of cadets at the NavalAcademy in Annapolis, Md., are formerSea Cadets.The guest speaker for the ceremony,

Marine Corps Col. Alvah E. Ingersoll III,commanding officer of Navy ROTC Los

Angeles, praised the Ventura County or-ganizers of the program.

Sea Cadets, the older members of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, stand at attention during the commissioning ceremony of Training Ship Nicholas H. Anderson.

Al Anderson, father of Nicholas H. Anderson, the Marine killed induty whose name the new training ship honors, poses with hiswife Lisa, daughter Lena and the ceremonial cake.

“I remember the early days of only two or threecadets,” he said. “You’ve made it so this group hasgrown into a flagship unit.”Lt. j.g. Randy Owen, commanding officer of the

new unit, praised the many parents in the audiencefor guiding their children into making the right deci-sions.“It all begins at home,” he said.After the ceremony, he described the program as

offering today’s youth an opportunity to try thingsthey’d never be able to do elsewhere.“Navy ships, submarines, aircraft, an international

exchange program — it’s most satisfying getting tosee young people going the right way,” Owen said.Sean Fulham, 13, will have been in the program for

one year later this month.“I enjoy all of it,” he said. “I especially like it after

all the exercise — when my legs are sore.”He enjoys learning seamanship, including the art

of tying knots. The hardest knot to learn?“The sheepshank,” he said.Sean’s parents, TomFulham and LisaHudson, said

they like the qualities they’ve watched their son takeon through the program.“I like the leadership and responsibility that come

out of this type of organization,” said Tom Fulham,who once served in the Army.Jackie MacGregor also likes the leadership skills

she has seen develop in her 13-year-old daughter,Amanda.Amanda’s favorite activities? “Knots, the physical

training, running the mile, getting fit — it’s all mademe stronger as a person,” Amanda said.As part of the commissioning ceremony, eachmem-

ber of the first crew was given a certificate of plankownership. Officials explained to the audience thatthe tradition comes from a time when ships were fit-ted with wooden decks. Upon the decommissioningof the ship at the end of her service, these planks wereremoved and made available to the ship’s first crew.For more information on the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet

Corps, log on to www.seacadets.org or call Owen at583-1367.

By Ensign Jason KielROTA, Spain – Seabees from Naval

Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)3 recently completed work on a projectthat restored a natural spring and habitatof indigenous turtles found onNaval Sta-tion Rota, Spain.The environmental rejuvenation project

was completed at the request of the Span-ish Navy and through coordination withthe local PublicWorksDepartment.Workincluded the removal of soil that had beendiscarded at the site two years ago, block-ing flow from the spring and causingvarious environmental issues as a result.The spring and surrounding land served

as home to an indigenous Spanish Paint-er Turtle, whose habitat was significantlyreduced in size as a result of the hastydumpsite selection. There was also a not-ed decrease in migratory birds using thespring and its surrounding area as a rest-ing place on their way to and from Afri-ca.“When I first saw the spring site, I

doubted that there had ever been waterthere,” said Equipment OperatorWilliamWalker, crew leader for the rejuvenationproject.

WhenNMCB 3 received the call to takeon the project, Alfa Company was ready

to respond. The project was not a typicalexcavation project. One of themajor chal-

lenges the crew faced was the dauntingtask of running heavy equipment over theunstable ground above the spring.Alfa Company solved that problem by

bringing in soil fill, which was carefullyinspected to ensure its ability to achievethe required soil stability and load carry-ing capacity for NMCB 3’s excavatingequipment.They then used an excavator to remove

the soil that had blocked the spring.They completed the work in four days,

and thanks to their hard work, the springhas already shown encouraging signs oflife: The water level has risen to approxi-mately four feet, allowing plenty of roomfor the painter turtle to reclaim its habi-tat.The efforts of Walker and other person-

PortHueneme’sUnderwayReplenishment(UNREP) personnel provided 19 Sailorsand four shipyard workers from Chilespecialized refueling training Nov. 30 toDec. 12 in support of the ex-Andrew J.Higgins’ (T-AO 190) transfer to the Chil-ean fleet.The tailored UNREP training familiar-

ized the new crew with specific perfor-mance of the Kaiser-class Navy StandardFueling at Sea and Replenishment at SeaSystem. Over the two-week period, Chil-ean rig teams were taught UNREP op-eration procedures and received hands-onmachinery practice for rig-sending andrig-receiving specific to the ship. Addi-tional UNREP hardware-maintenancetraining was provided for the ship’s fuelprobe, cargo drop-reel and standard trol-leys.Utilizing the hands-on training ap-

proach with the fuel and cargo rigs in-stalled atNSWCPortHueneme’sUNREP

Test Site proved to be an outstandingopportunity for the Chilean navy crew.“This training is an important part of

fostering our Navy’s international rela-tionships, a key tenet in upholding ourmaritime strategy,” said UNREP FleetSupport Branch manager DavidWenner.“Many friendships were established as aresult of this positive training period.”Ex-Andrew J. Higgins, a Henry J. Kai-

ser-class fleet replenishment oiler, offi-cially transferred to Chile in May 2009under a foreign military sales agreement.The ship is expected to join the Chileannavy in February as Almirante Montt(AO-52) — named for Chilean naval of-ficer Adm. Jorge Montt — as a replace-ment for Chile’s sole replenishment oiler,the 42-year-old Araucano (AO-53).NSWC Port Hueneme, a field activity

of Naval Sea Systems Command, is theonly Navy command with a dedicatedtest site for the sole purpose of testingand evaluating UNREP concepts, pro-totypes and in-service equipment.

in favor of it.Finally, on Oct. 1, 1946, the Naval Air

Missile Test Center (NAMTC) was offi-cially established, with Capt. Albert N.Perkins serving as the first commandingofficer. It was a forerunner of the PacificMissile Test Center (PMTC), the firstNavy facility dedicated to the developmen-tal testing of pilotless aircraft, drones andguided missiles over an open oceanrange.The early days weren’t easy. According

to “Days of Challenge,”nearly everythingwas in short supply. The book quotes Lt.Cmdr. Simpson: “We obtained office fur-niture from nearby bases. Tools and oth-er supplies came from wherever we couldacquire them.”The book also states, “Another early

pioneer remembers that a man was de-tailed to forage for surplus parts using anold battered truck. He ranged as far asSacramento.”Cmdr. Leon G. Lehrer called Point

Mugu “at first glance, a sorry place.”“Communciationswere also a problem,”

the book states. “There were only a dozentelephones in the whole center and onlyone in the test area. Messengers were dis-

patched for anyone receiving a call.”But things picked up quickly, and test-

ing continued through 1946, mostly of theJB-2 Flying Bomb, or LOON. It was theU.S. version of the German V-1 buzzbomb.The Naval Air Station was established

on Aug. 1, 1949, to support the NAMTCby providingmaterial and service support,including military personnel administra-tion, air traffic control and flight line func-tions.The Oct. 4, 2006, Lighthouse detailed

the subsequent history of Point Mugu aspart of its 60-year anniversary coverageof NBVCPointMugu. Here is part of theLighthouse report:The first major post-war missiles tested

were the Sparrow and Regulus. The firstairborne target hit by an air-launchedmis-sile, Sparrow I, happened in 1952.In early 1958, the Army transferred

more than 19,000 acres of South CampCooke to the Navy, which became NavalMissile Facility, Point Arguello; and inJune 1958, Pacific Missile Range was es-tablished with headquarters at PointMugu. PMRbecame the westernmemberof the triad of national ranges, includingAtlantic Missile Range and White SandsMissile Range. The NAMTC became the

Naval Missile Center on Jan. 7, 1959.The combined F-14A Tomcat/Phoenix

would prove to be one of Point Mugu’smost significant contributions to navalaviation. In the ‘70s, new computers andsoftware helped make new weapon sys-tems more effective. The F-14 System In-tegration Test Station Lab became opera-tional in 1971. It was a complexperformance simulator built around anF-14 fuselage containing a full suite ofavionics, fire control and electronic war-fare systems. It was unique at the time andwas instrumental in NMC becoming theSoftware Support Activity for the F-14A.TheNMCandPMRwere disestablished

and formed into the Pacific Missile TestCenter on April 26, 1975. Weapons sys-tems at this time included the Harpoon,Tomahawk, Standard Missile, Aegis andTrident. In the 1980s, two major labora-tories were constructed — the MissileSystems Evaluation Lab and ElectronicWarfare SystemLaboratory. Also, the firstlaunch of a Standoff LandAttackMissilewas made from a PMTC A-6E Intruderduring testing in 1989.As the defense budget decreased with

the end of the Cold War, the Naval AirSystems Command combined Point

Mugu, China Lake, White Sands and Al-buquerque to form theNaval AirWarfareCenter Weapons Division. The establish-ment ceremony was held Jan. 2, 1992, andat the same timeNaval Air Station becameNaval Air Weapons Station. This processhelped streamline base functions underone command to better serve the Navyusing fewer tax dollars.Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard

Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Bush andBill Clinton have visited PointMugu dur-ing their tenure as our commander inchief.For 60 years Point Mugu has had an

impact on research, development, test andevaluation of missile weapons systems.In 1998 came the arrival of the E-2C

Hawkeye to Point Mugu from MCASMiramar. Four E-2C squadrons, alongwith the staff of Commander AirborneEarly Warning Wing U.S. Pacific Fleetbrought 16 E-2C Hawkeye aircraft andmore than 1,000 personnel to the area.Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 55

became a new reserve tenant command atPoint Mugu in 1999. VR-55 operates fiveC-130T Hercules transport aircraft. VR-55 filled the void as VXE-6 was disestab-lished after 55 years of service to theNavyand the National Science Foundation.

By Lt. Cmdr. Justin Hawkins, VR-55On Dec. 23, the Minutemen of Fleet

Logistics Support Squadron 55 (VR-55)recently completed three months of logis-tics support to U.S. forces in Asia and theWestern Pacific.Staging out of Naval Air Facility Atsu-

gi, Japan, VR-55 flew 517 flight hourswhile transporting more than 360,000pounds of cargo and 758 passengers todestinations in Asia and the Western Pa-cific theater such as Guam, Iwo Jima,Thailand, Bangladesh, Philippines, DiegoGarcia and South Korea. All of this wasaccomplished with just a single forwarddeployed aircraft, highlighting the tremen-dous efforts of those involved.Operating five C-130T aircraft from

PointMugu, VR-55 provides around-the-clock support to the fleet, such as deployedU.S. Navy ships, submarines, NavySEALS, aviation detachments andMarineunits.With its ability to take off and land on

short runways and unprepared surfaces,VR-55’s aircraft provide the unique capa-bility of delivering cargo to destinations

not commonly serviced by conventionaljet aircraft. Many destinations that werevisited during this detachment called upon

the diverse capabilities of the C-130T toeffectively execute tasking from theatercommanders.

Deployments such as the squadron’smost recent overseas detachment provideits reservists an opportunity to executetheir mandatory annual training require-ments in an operational environment.Reservists comprised nearly 45 percent ofthe detachment.Cmdr. Jake Nelson, a VR-55 reservist

who is also aUPS pilot for his civilian job,says commercial flights are similar to theC-130.“They are made to move people and

packages. It’s one type of logistics to an-other type,” he said. “These missions canbe both dynamic and challenging, yet atthe end of the day it is a very rewardingexperience ensuring both passengers andcargo are delivered safely and on timethroughout the Western Pacific theater.”VR-55 falls under Commander, Fleet

Logistics Support Wing, the Navy’s larg-est wing, which is the primary operatorof logistics aircraft for theNavy. The wingsends detachments to Japan, Italy andBahrain.The wing’s squadrons also fly logistics

support missions worldwide.

“Tell me Dave, are employers hiring?”I get that question a lot, and the answer

is yes.However, since they are quite skittish of

who they add to their payroll, some are tak-ing steps to “weed out” those whomay nothave, shall we say, “long-term potential.”More employers are using a staffing agen-

cy, which often times incorporates a proba-tion period to the new position. This usu-ally lasts for 90 days and gives the boss achance to observe new employees undervarious situations to see who can cut themustard. To put it another way, those whoare willing to accept tasks that some con-sider to be beneath them are setting them-selves up to be offered a permanent posi-tion.The climate out there can be harsh, and

employers can be stingy, so it’s OK if yournext jobdoesn’t fit into your long-termplanexactly as you envisioned. You have to bewilling to work to get there.According to the Department of Labor,

theaverageAmerican spends just 18minutes

each day looking for a job.I have an ideaonhowyou can spendyour

18 minutes: On Thursday, Feb. 18, from 9a.m. to 1 p.m., the PortHuenemeFleet andFamily SupportCenter is hosting a job fair.There will be employers offering positionsin corrections, construction, education, se-curity, healthcare, federal, administrative,computer networking, aviation and more.And, oh yes, since we just learned that

more employers are using agencies, you canexpect a few of them to be at the fair aswell.It isn’t often that the jobs will come to

you, but that is exactly what is happeningonFeb. 18. Employersknowthat thosewitha military background have a strong workethic and some of the best skills out there,and they want them on their payroll.Even if your last day in the service is a

year away, now is the time to become famil-iar with the job fair experience and meetpeople in the business.

Additionally, employers know that mili-tary spouses are flexible and adaptable tochange—traits that are highly valued in theworkforce.The job fair is open to all active duty,

spouses, reservists, retirees, Department ofDefense employees, contract employees andanyone who has base access.It’s a known fact that themajority of po-

sitions are found through networking, sothe odds are already leaning in your favor— you just need to be here.

Wehave employers that arehiring, sowe’llsee you at the fair!

By Lt. Carlos Pesquera, VAW-117The Navy’s Chief Petty Officer Asso-

ciation is one of the most selective andexclusive groups in theU.S. military. Sincetheir establishment, the chief petty officerranks have represented experience, knowl-edge, deck plate leadership andmentoring.They are both technical experts in theirfields as well as leaders.When three of VAW-117’s finest Sailors

joined their ranks, the command as awhole could not have beenmore proud oftheir achievements. Chief Aviation Elec-tronics Technician Arthur Foster, ChiefAviation Maintenance Administration-man Sean Belt, and Chief Aviation Ma-chinist’s Mate Joyce Cortez embody allthe qualities that make the U.S. Navy thefinest naval service in the world. Theirinduction into the Chief Petty Officers’Mess is the pinnacle of their long, suc-cessful careers.

•Arthur Foster has spent more than half

of his 12 years in the Navy as part ofVAW-117. Like many others, he initiallyjoined the Navy to get out of his home-town of Norfolk, Va., and see the world.At first he was not sure if would make a

career out of the Navy, but after his firstduty station he knew that the naval servicewas right for him.After a tour in VAW-120, the E-2C

Hawkeye Fleet Replacement Squadron,Foster moved across the country to PointMugu. Once with theWallbangers, he roseup the ranks and became the leadingpetty officer for the Avionics Division. Hisleadership and vast technical knowledgebecame invaluable as he and his teamtroubleshot and repaired the complex avi-onics equipment needed byE-2CHawkeyeaircrew to conduct their missions.In 2008, Foster was selected as VAW-117

Sailor of the Year and awarded the Com-mander Airborne Command and Controland Logistics Wing Sailor of the Year(Sea). Foster attributes all his success inthe Navy to a simple mindset: “Take careof your Sailors and let their success beyour own.”Foster is moving on to the Fleet Read-

iness Center in PatuxentRiver,Md., wherehe will continue to lead Sailors and serveas a mentor to those under him.

•When Sean Belt first reported to the

Wallbangers, he came on board with alengthy list of accomplishments. While athis previous command, HSL-46, he wasselected as Shore Senior Sailor of the Yearin 2008. In only 10 months with theWall-bangers, he has shown unparalleled mo-tivation in everything he does and a com-mitment to duty that sets him above hispeers.After 10 years of Navy service, Belt clas-

sifies his induction into the Chief PettyOfficers’ Mess as the most important ac-complishment of his naval career. Whenaskedwhat advice he would give to Sailorswho want to follow his lead, Belt remindssailors to “never think that once youachieve the next pay grade you can relax.Your effort toward the next pay grade

should be immediate.”Belt is reporting to VFA-137 in Lem-

oore, where his contagious attitude andexcellent work ethic will continue to be anexample for everyone around him.

By Lt. Carlos Pesquera, VAW-117

The Navy’s Chief Petty Officer Asso-ciation is one of the most selective andexclusive groups in theU.S. military. Sincetheir establishment, the chief petty officerranks have represented experience, knowl-edge, deck plate leadership andmentoring.They are both technical experts in theirfields as well as leaders.When three of VAW-117’s finest Sailors

joined their ranks, the command as awhole could not have beenmore proud oftheir achievements. Chief Aviation Elec-tronics Technician Arthur Foster, ChiefAviation Maintenance Administration-man Sean Belt, and Chief Aviation Ma-chinist’s Mate Joyce Cortez embody allthe qualities that make the U.S. Navy thefinest naval service in the world. Theirinduction into the Chief Petty Officers’Mess is the pinnacle of their long, suc-cessful careers.

•Arthur Foster has spent more than half

of his 12 years in the Navy as part ofVAW-117. Like many others, he initiallyjoined the Navy to get out of his home-town of Norfolk, Va., and see the world.At first he was not sure if would make a

career out of the Navy, but after his firstduty station he knew that the naval servicewas right for him.After a tour in VAW-120, the E-2C

Hawkeye Fleet Replacement Squadron,Foster moved across the country to PointMugu. Once with theWallbangers, he roseup the ranks and became the leadingpetty officer for the Avionics Division. Hisleadership and vast technical knowledgebecame invaluable as he and his teamtroubleshot and repaired the complex avi-onics equipment needed byE-2CHawkeyeaircrew to conduct their missions.In 2008, Foster was selected as VAW-117

Sailor of the Year and awarded the Com-mander Airborne Command and Controland Logistics Wing Sailor of the Year(Sea). Foster attributes all his success inthe Navy to a simple mindset: “Take careof your Sailors and let their success beyour own.”Foster is moving on to the Fleet Read-

iness Center in PatuxentRiver,Md., wherehe will continue to lead Sailors and serveas a mentor to those under him.

•When Sean Belt first reported to the

Wallbangers, he came on board with alengthy list of accomplishments. While athis previous command, HSL-46, he wasselected as Shore Senior Sailor of the Yearin 2008. In only 10 months with theWall-bangers, he has shown unparalleled mo-tivation in everything he does and a com-mitment to duty that sets him above hispeers.After 10 years of Navy service, Belt clas-

sifies his induction into the Chief PettyOfficers’ Mess as the most important ac-complishment of his naval career. Whenaskedwhat advice he would give to Sailorswho want to follow his lead, Belt remindssailors to “never think that once youachieve the next pay grade you can relax.Your effort toward the next pay grade

should be immediate.”Belt is reporting to VFA-137 in Lem-

oore, where his contagious attitude andexcellent work ethic will continue to be anexample for everyone around him.

•Joyce Cortez joined theU.S. Navy look-

ing to see the world— and indeed she has.In her 14-year career she has been sta-tioned all over Japan, as well as multipledeployments to Bahrain, Diego Garcia,Oman and SouthKorea.Most of her tech-nical expertise is on the P-3 Orion plat-form, but when she first joined the Wall-bangers it became clear that greatleadership and taking care of your Sailorswere traits needed throughout the Navy.She quickly learned the technical knowl-

Super Bowl Sunday is one of America’sbiggest and most entertaining nationalsporting events as friends and familiesgather to socialize andwatch the big game.Yet, it has also become one of the nation’smost dangerous days on the roadways dueto impaired driving.According to research by the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration,in 2008, fatalities in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes accounted for 32 percentof all motor vehicle traffic fatalities.On Super Bowl Sunday of that year

(Feb. 3 to 5:59 a.m. Feb. 4), 49 percent ofthe fatalities occurred in crashes where adriver or motorcycle rider had a blood

alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08or higher.Here are some tips from the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration.To learn more, visit www.stopimpaired-driving.org

If you are hosting a Super Bowl party:

• Remember, you can be held liable andprosecuted if someone you served endsup in an impaired-driving crash.•Make sure all of your guests designate

their sober drivers in advance, or help ar-range ride-sharing with other sober driv-ers.

• Serve lots of food and include lots ofnon-alcoholic beverages at the party.• Stop serving alcohol at the end of the

third quarter of the game and begin serv-ing coffee and dessert.• Keep the numbers for local cab com-

panies handy, and take the keys away fromanyone who is thinking of driving whileimpaired.

If you are attending a Super Bowl partyor watching at a sports bar or restaurant:

• Designate your sober driver before theparty begins and leave your car keys athome.

• Avoid drinking too much alcohol toofast. Pace yourself. Eat enough food, takebreaks and alternate with non-alcoholicdrinks.• If you don’t have a designated driver,

ask a sober friend for a ride home; call acab, friend, or familymember to come andget you; or just stay where you are andsleep it off until you are sober.• Use your command’s Sober Rides pro-

gram.• Never let a friend get behind the wheel

of a vehicle if you think they are about todrive while impaired.• Always buckle up. It’s still your best

defense against other impaired drivers.

If you drink on Super Bowl Sunday, don’t drive

The Department of the Navy’s En-ergy Savings Performance Contracts(ESPC) Team has awarded $76 millionin energy contracts for eight naval in-stallations for essential energy improve-ments and energy cost savings.The awards provide 25 percent of the

Navy’s annual energy reduction require-ments, include the Navy’s first landfillgas conversion project and support thepresident’s agenda fostering a green en-ergy economy.The projects were recently awarded by

the Naval Facilities Engineering ServiceCenter (NAVFAC ESC) in conjunctionwith the Specialty Center Acquisitions,NAVFAC (SCAN) in cooperation withthe following installations: MCLB Al-bany; Portsmouth Naval Shipyard; Na-val Air Station Joint Reserve Base FortWorth; Naval Region Hawaii; NavalUndersea Warfare Center, Keyport;Naval Base Kitsap; Norfolk Naval Ship-yard; and Naval Station Great Lakes.

“These awards will help the Navy meetenergy reduction goals without relianceon appropriated funds,” said Naval Fa-cilities Engineering Service Center Com-manding Officer, Capt. Paz B. Gomez.“The ESPC process is an effective way

of achieving federal and naval energygoals while working with private indus-try to reduce the nation’s energy con-sumption and dependency on fossilfuels.”The contracts will implement tradi-

tional energy conservation measures andinnovative renewable technologies, in-cluding the Navy’s first landfill gas co-generation project, a partnership withthe city of Albany, Ga.These contracts reduce the Navy’s

energy and water use and will pay forthemselves by avoiding more than $176million in energy costs over life of thecontracts. The avoided costs will be usedto repay contractor investments in en-ergy infrastructure on Navy installationsand pay for performance guaranteesprovided by the following corporationsawarded the contracts: Chevron EnergySolutions; Ameresco Select, Inc;NORESCO, LLC; and Trane US.The Department of Navy and the

ESPC team continue to seek greaterenergy savings and renewable energyprojects to meet the Secretary of theNavy’s energy vision goals of 50 percentrenewable energy by 2030.

Navy awards multimillion-dollar energy savings contracts$76 million will go to improving efficiency and renewable energy sources without government investment
