Transition out of Warfield Gym proceeds smoothly

I recently received this “Ask the Captain”comment about the nine-month renovation of theWarfield Gym at Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme:

“I read many times in the ‘Ask the Captain’section disappointments. I would rather say con-gratulations and thank you to all the people whohave made the base gym renovation project andtransition so spectacular.“We all get quite comfortable with things

remaining similar. Any major change can get us‘knocked off our feet.’ Being a regular ‘gym rat,’ Iwas concerned about the gym transition.“You all have exceeded my expectations im-

mensely! The Bee-Fit gym is wonderfully trans-

formed. It is bright, well-spaced (lots of space,it seems to go on and on) and easy to use. Thestaff still remains bright and cheerful. Well done,everyone!There is one challenge for you now. You have

‘raised the bar’ on our expectations. I’m wildlyawaiting the new gym, but more than satisfiedwith the current configuration.”

I agree: Congratulations go out to the Morale,Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team, PublicWorks, and every other department that has madethe transition out of the Warfield Gym exception-ally smooth.And I still remain confident that no one will be

disappointed with the end result.

Working together to take electronic war-fare to new heights and into unchartedwaters — all while budgets are being cut— was the key topic at the 42nd AnnualElectronicWarfare Symposium that beganJan. 24 at the Ronald Reagan PresidentialLibrary in Simi Valley.For three days, nearly 400 leaders in

electronic warfare shared information anddelved into the most critical issue facingmilitary, government and industry: doingmore with less.

It’s going to take teamwork, talent andimagination to do that, said Vice Adm.David Architzel, commander, Naval AirSystems Command and one of the key-note speakers.“We need the future now,”he said. “We

need to deliver products faster and moreaffordably.”Gone are the “stovepipe platforms,”

products that can’t be adapted formultipleuses. Instead, “seamless networking” is thekey to the future.“Affordability, adaptability and capabil-

ity”will be guiding the future of electron-ic warfare, he said.The symposiumwas sponsored byAOC,

formerly known as the Association of OldCrows, a name derived from code wordsfor electronic warfare used during WorldWar II.The event included two days of discus-

sions and tours at Naval Base VenturaCounty, PointMugu, for those with secu-rity clearance.Several speakers on Jan. 24 invoked the

namesake of the building in which thatday’s presentations and evening’s receptionwere held.Architzel spoke of Reagan’s “boldness

and confidence.”Rear Adm. Mat Winter, commander,

Naval AirWarfare Center-Weapons Divi-sion and assistant commander for Test andEvaluation,NavalAir SystemsCommand,said the symposium couldn’t have beenheld in a better place.“You are surrounded by history,” he

said, pointing out that the Air Force Oneon display is the actual one that landedseveral times at Point Mugu with Reaganon board.

More than 500 people searching fornew employment opportunities attendedthe Feb. 2 Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Job Fair, the first to be held atDuke’s Place at NBVC Port Hueneme.Previous job fairs have been held in the

lobby and classrooms at the Fleet andFamily Support Center, NBVC Port Hue-neme.“Duke’s is a really good location,” said

Corey Kendrick, a work and family lifeconsultant at the Fleet and Family Sup-port Center and one of the job fair orga-nizers. “There’s a lot more room and alot better flow, so everybody can movearound more easily. Parking is fantastic,and with the location being right off 23rdAvenue, it’s much more visible and moreeasily accessible.”Employers agreed.“We’ve always gotten one of the little

rooms off to the side,” Tech Sgt. JaimeGomez of the Air National Guard saidof the FFSC location. “People wouldlook in and see it was crowded and keepgoing. This way, people can walk aroundand see everyone who’s here.”The 37 companies and organizations

attending the job fair, all of which indi-cated they were currently hiring, rangedfrom staffing agencies to law enforcementto government contractors like Lockheed-Martin.

Amgen was there, along with the DairyFarms of America, whose table wasstacked with fliers reading, “Seekinghighly skilled maintenance mechanics.”Kendrick said another job fair is

planned for the summer; usually, the sec-ond one of the year is held in the fall.“We’re moving it up because there will

be an increased need due to the reductionof Navy personnel,” she said. “We planto have that one here at Duke’s as well.”

In this day of social media we havefriends all across the country that wecan communicate with at the stroke ofa key. Whether it is texting or typing, weare connected as never before.Can I ask you a question? Are you

lonely? Sometimes the very technologythat connects us can leave us lonely.When you need a girl chat (or a guy chat)do you reach for your iPhone to call— or do you text? Do you meet for cof-fee or sit at the screen typing?What is a friend? Merriam-Webster

defines a friend as, “one attached to an-other by affection or esteem, a favoredcompanion.” Companion is defined as“one that accompanies another, one thatkeeps company with another; one thatis closely connected with somethingsimilar.”We need friends. We are created to

have that favored companion, to beclosely connected, to be affectionatelyattached to others. And this differs fromthe “friends” on Facebook and Twit-ter.How many people follow you on Twit-

ter? How many friends on Facebook?

Of those, how many will be there toclean your house or sit with you whenyou’ve had a bad day?Did you know that “friend”or “friend-

ship” is in the top 1 percent of termslooked up on Merriam-Webster’s site? Ithink maybe many of us are trying tofigure out friendship in this new age oftechnology.Friendships, to be healthy and fulfill-

ing, need to be “give and take.” To havethat companion walk with you, you mustbe willing to be that companion to walkwith another. This is true in marriage,

but also in friendship.I hear from many women expressing

the challenge of friendship and loneli-ness. Relocation can leave us separatedfrom strong, supportive relationshipsand often when we need them most —during deployment.I do not have five easy steps to attract

friends. What I do have is ideas and tipsto become a good friend.Deb is my persistent friend. Deb de-

cided we were going to be friends —without my knowledge and/or consent.Deb demonstrated characteristics offriendship that drew me into her lovingcircle of friends.• Patience: Deb was willing to wait for

me to respond to her overtures of friend-ship. She did not expect me to respondin a certain time frame. Good thing too— it took almost a year.• Acceptance: Deb knows we all have

“warts.” Deb chooses to overlook wartsto see the person behind the warts. I havealways felt accepted by Deb. She maynot always agree with me, but she alwaysaccepts me as a person.• Consistent persistence: This is the

attribute that bothered me most aboutDeb — but that I most love and appre-ciate now. Deb reached out to me con-sistently with an e-mail and phone callonce a week for nine months before Iaccepted an invitation to get together.Wow!• Selfless: Deb didn’t want to be my

friend to “get” something from me. Shebefriended me to give, to share. Shelooked for ways to be companions onthe same journey with me.• Forgiveness: Deb was quick to for-

give me when I was stupid. She wasequally quick to ask forgiveness whenshe wronged me.Building deep friendships takes time,

but with these characteristics we canbuild friends that will enhance our lives— and we will add to theirs.As a military spouse, I have seen the

road to friendship accelerated by thevery nature of our lifestyle. Don’t bediscouraged. Work on becoming thatfriend and watch what friends bloom inyour life.— Connect with Beth at [email protected].

True friends have nothing to do with Facebook, Twitter

Whether a student is new to VenturaCounty or has been attending school herefor some time, it’s important for familiesto know their options when choosing aschool.

School transfers

There are two types of school transfers:intradistrict and interdistrict. Intradistrictmeans that you request to go to a schoolwithin your home district; interdistrict isa request outside of your home district.As space is available, these transfers mayor may not be approved. If approved,transportation is the parent’s responsibil-ity. Some districts begin the request pro-cess early in the calendar year for the nextschool year.If a family is requesting an interdistrict

transfer, it must be approved by the schooldistrict of residence who will be “releas-ing” the student and the school districtaccepting the student. Any family whothinks they may want an interdistricttransfer, the time is now to begin the pro-cess for next year since it must go throughboth school districts. For a family who

may be requesting an intradistrict transfer,the priority deadline is typically in Febru-ary or March.If a school is placed in Program Im-

provement (PI) due to the inability tomeetAdequate Yearly Progress, a student canrequest a transfer to another in the schooldistrict not in PI, as space permits. In thissituation, transportation is the responsibil-ity of the school district. Districts do havedeadlines for the request. A letter is typi-cally sent home notifying the family ofthis option at the end of summer or thebeginning of the school year.

Charter schools and magnet schools

A charter school is a public school thatoperates independently of the school dis-trict structure. Each charter school has itsown registration process and registrationperiod. Often the registration period is thebeginning of the calendar year for the fol-lowing school year. Transportation is theresponsibility of the parent.A magnet school operates within a

school district; however, it tends to havea focus area (technology, science, etc.)while still fulfilling all California statestandards. Often, enrollment is based ona lottery; again, that process takes placeearly in the calendar year.

Private schools

Although cost and transportation arethe responsibility of the parent, privateschools may offer benefits that some pub-lic schools are not able to provide, such asreligious education, alternative schedules,specialized instruction or before- and af-ter-school care. There are many questionsparents should ask when choosing a pri-

vate school concerning teacher credential-ing, school accreditation and average classsize. Private schools are not accountableto theDepartment of Education to reporton student progress.

Home school

This is an option for parents who chooseto take the responsibility of educatingtheir child. Often, costs are the responsibil-ity of the parent; however, there are manyresources available for families interestedin homeschooling, including supportgroups or “virtual”schools to provide sup-port and curriculum.Some local school districts and charter

schools have added a home study compo-nent. This allows the student to do theirwork primarily in their home under theirparent’s supervision. However, there istypically a weekly check-in with a teacher.Curriculum and books are provided bythe school.— For any questions regarding educationoptions in Ventura County, please contact theNBVC school liaison officer at 989-5211 [email protected].

An elderlyman sat in his easy chair care-fully cradling a book. Magazines andnewspapers lay on the table in front ofhim.“My books are like friends to me,” he

said. “I share so many memories with theold ones, and I enjoy learning from thenew ones. And there is always so much tolearn!”This from aman for whom learning had

been a constant practice for the better partof a century.Some feel they have outgrown their

chance to learn. “You can’t teach an olddog new tricks,” goes the saying, but thatseems not to be true. Many older peopleare still reaping a rich harvest of knowl-edge. Lifelong learning is no longer aluxury for just a few of us but something

that all can pursue.To consume a good book, to digest a

report of current events, to savor thewordsof great thinkers past and present is to

feed the soul and nourish the heart. Weare never too old for such a feast.And learning is found not just in books.

People and places are great sources of newinformation and experience. We can askquestions and enjoy discussions withfriends and familymembers, learning fromtheir points of view. We can visit a localmuseum to hear the story of a historiclandmark or inquire at a public libraryabout any topic we choose. Or we canvisit the Internet, where a world of infor-mation is right at our fingertips.Formal education may be designed for

the young, but the young at heart can en-joy a lifetime of learning. And when weleave this life, though our earthly goodswill be left behind, the knowledge we havegained will be ours forever.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of lifelong learning

Thirteen volunteers from Naval BaseVentura County showed up at the City ofVentura’s Leo Robbins Community Sail-ing Center on Friday, Feb. 3, to help cleanboats and clear sand from wheelchairramps during a community relations eventorganized by Religious Ministries.“It’s good to do volunteer work, and it

is a pretty day,” said Air Traffic Control-ler 2nd Class Rudy Gomez, back on themainland from San Nicolas Island.Indeed, there was a lot of wind, but

there was also plenty of sunshine andwarm temperatures.Barry Carrillo, an irrigation mainte-

nance worker for the city, helped get partof the group started on clearing sand thatwas blocking wheelchair access to a chil-dren’s play area.

“People can’t get through on their scoot-ers,” he said, “This is a big help.”Another group helped clean boats that

are used in sailing classes.“We have a large bird population that

likes us a lot,” said Nancy King, the smallboat sailing instructor who put the otherhalf of the group to work. “We need toclean about once a week or it’s disas-trous.”Naval Aircrewman Mechanical 2nd

Class Kevin Allan of Air Test and Evalu-ation Squadron 30 (VX-30) recently came

to NBVC fromWashington state and wasvolunteering here for the first time.“Spending half a day with the boats at

the harbor, I could do this every weekend,”he said.That would be just fine withKing. She’s

already planning some future projects.“Our benches are about five years old,

and with the conditions out here — thewater and the salt in the air— they’re get-ting splinters,”she said. “If theNavy couldbuild some benches for us, that would beawesome!”

Considering buying a new car? Do yourhomework before stepping onto the deal-er lot to avoid getting scammed. Here aresome tips from the Navy-Marine CorpsRelief Society to keep in mind before yousign a contract:• Before you look at that first car, check

your credit report and credit score. If youhave a low score, improve it before apply-ing for a loan.• Find your own financing. Visit your

local credit union or bank and apply fora car loan before you shop for your nextvehicle.• Have a type of vehicle in mind? Check

price information at www.edmunds.combefore negotiating the price of a new car.If you’re buying a used car, check its val-ue at www.kbb.com.• Don’t tell the dealer how much you

want to spend each month on a car. Con-centrate on negotiating a fair price ratherthan a monthly payment.• Negotiate your trade-in and the cost

of the new car separately. Beware of anycontract that hides the price of your newcar and the price of your trade-in.• Before buying a used car, get an inde-

pendent vehicle inspection of the car youwish to purchase. Reputable dealers willallow you to take a used car to your me-chanic to look at before purchasing.• To check whether the vehicle has been

in an accident or been damaged in a flood,use www.vehiclehistory.gov. Other sitesmay not be reliable.• Test drive and examine the vehicle be-

fore purchasing.• Educate yourself on themost common

tricks dealers use to defraud customersand pad their pockets:—Yo-yo financing: You sign a contract

and drive your car home. The dealer callslater to say that your financingwas denied.When you return, the interest rate is muchhigher or you owe more for a down pay-ment. Protect yourself bymaking sure thecontract you sign doesn’t have any “con-ditional” clauses.— Loan packing: Don’t allow the deal-

er to convince you to buy “add-ons” suchas theft-etching, rust proofing, upholsteryprotection, GAP insurance, extended ser-vice contracts or lifetime oil changes.These often add thousands of dollars tothe cost of your car.

If you think you’ve been a victim offraud by a dealer, contact the FederalTrade Commission (FTC) to file a com-plaint. The FTC can be contacted at:www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov or 1-877-FTC-HELP.Before buying that new car, visit

NMCRS to put together a spending planto see how much your new car will costyou. Call 982-4409 for an appointment.Interested in helping service members

and their families develop spending plans?Call NMCRS to volunteer!

Here is your question of the day:Are you doing what is needed to ensure

that your financial future is headed in theright direction?”It’s a question we should all be asking

ourselves, and during this uncertain econ-omy, it is imperative to answer as hon-estly as we can.The sad truth for most of us is that we

have not taken the necessary steps to en-sure our long-term financial well-being.Don’t you think it’s time to make somechanges with your finances?Truth be told, one of the greatest threats

to overall mission readiness is consistent-ly making bad decisions with our per-sonal finances. The Navy has recognizedthat this is an extremely disconcerting is-sue and is institutingmeasures to enhancepersonal financial management.The implementation of the Military

Saves Campaign is one of those measures.The Department of Defense has desig-nated Feb. 19-26 as Military SavesWeek.While the Military Saves Campaign is

a yearlong effort, Military Saves Week isthe kickoff to helping Sailors and familiesbuild wealth and reduce debt while plan-ning for retirement.TheMilitary Saves Campaign is a social

marketing effort to persuade,motivate andencouragemilitary families to save moneyand to convince leaders and organizationsto be aggressive in promoting automaticsavings. The campaign is a growing net-work of organizations and individualscommitted to helping support militarymembers and their loved ones. Ultimate-

ly, the goal is to build personal savings,whichwill provide for immediate and long-term financial needs.It’s time to pay yourself first — both

today’s self as well as tomorrow’s self. Thetheme for the 2012 campaign is “Set aGoal, Make a Plan, Save Automatical-ly.”If you have any questions please contact

the financial counselor at the Port Huen-eme Fleet and Family Support Center at982-3640 or at the Point Mugu FFSC at989-8844.

SANDIEGO—NavyRegion SouthwestReserve Component Command (RCC SW)named Naval Operational Support Center(NOSC) PortHueneme the overall RCCSW“NOSC of the Year” for calendar year2011.In addition, NOSC Port Hueneme was

named “NOSC of the Year” in the largecategory andNOSCPointMuguwas named“NOSC of the Year” in the small catego-ry.Capt. Marco Cromartie, RCC SW com-

manding officer, presented the awards to theNOSC commanding officers and senior en-listed leaders on Jan. 12 during the RCCSWCommand Leadership Conference in SanDiego.“The entire NOSC teamwas honored and

humbled by the award,” said Capt. RonaldOswald,NOSCPortHueneme commandingofficer. “We are just one of many NOSCsworking to fulfill the mission.”There are 20 NOSCs in the Southwest

Region that vie for this honor: seven large-groupNOSCs, described as supportingmorethan 700 Reservists; six in the medium cat-egory serving 251 to 699 Reservists; andseven in the small group that manage up to250 Reservists.NOSC San Jose won for the medium

group.“I’m very proud of the hard work and

dedication that our staff has put in to ensur-ing that our SELRES (Selected Reserve)Sailors are ready and prepared tomobilize,”saidCmdr.RodneyWoodward,NOSCPoint

Mugu commanding officer.RCC SW judges the NOSCs in overall

mission readiness by looking at every depart-ment: Command Leadership, Administra-tion, Supply and Logistics, Training, Man-power and Respay, and Medical.“One key preparation was that our first-

and second-class Sailors stepped forward totake leadership roles in their departments.Ownership of the mission by our petty of-ficers was the key to maintaining qualitycustomer service to our selected reserve Sail-ors,” Oswald said.“(It is) how we manage all our 29 reserve

units to ensure they are mission ready,” saidCommandMaster Chief Terry Delacruz ofNOSC Port Hueneme. He said that manyof Hueneme’s departmental programs areused as examples for other NOSCs in theregion.NOSC Point Mugu serves 11 Reserve

units.“TheNOSC teamprepared by fully engag-

ing in each possible training event, coordina-tionmeeting and unit readiness stand down,”

Oswald said. “By ensuring communicationand coordination at every level, the teambecame more effective in their depart-ments.”Both commanding officers credit com-

munication and customer service at all lev-els as essential factors to their success.The NOSCs are located at Naval Base

Ventura County (NBVC).“As a tenant command, we get all the sup-

port needed from NBVC,” said Delacruz.NBVC ensures that facilities are made

available on reserve weekends to accommo-date the Reservists. Everything from thegalley and berthing to the exchange andworkout facilities are open on the weekend,and Reservists are encouraged to use theother support offices such as the legal officeand family services as needed.“Capt. JamesMcHugh and his staff have

always been very supportive of bothNOSCsonboard NBVC,” Woodward said. “Ourreserve units have some unique requirements,and we get outstanding support fromNBVC.”The two NOSCs work together on many

programs and events, such as the annualFamily Readiness andWarrior RecognitionDay.“NOSC Port Hueneme and NOSC Point

Mugu work well together because the Sail-ors seek common ground and common so-lutions,” Oswald said. “We recognize thegreat benefit of combining resources andpooling efforts. There are great Sailors onboth staffs, and working together, we canprovide the best service to our Selected Re-servists.”

BAGRAMAIRFIELD, Parwan Prov-ince, Afghanistan— Since their establish-ment onMarch 5, 1942, Seabees have beenknown to make history around theworld.U.S.Navy Seabees were born in the dark

days following the attack on Pearl Harborwhen building victory seemed almost in-surmountable. They were created to fulfilla crucial demand for constructionworkerswho could fight.With their “Can Do” spirit, Seabees

have made the impossible possible. ”CanDo”took on a newmeaning inNovember1972 when the Chief of Naval Operations,Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr., announcedthat female personnel would be grantedentry into all Navy ratings.In 1994, the Department of Defense’s

combat exclusion policy was revised andwomen were permitted to be assigned tomobile construction battalions.Although it’s 18 years later, history is

still being made.Eight women from U.S. Naval Mobile

Construction Battalion 4, Detail 4, joinedtogether to form the first all-female con-struction team. They answered the call andexcitedly accepted an assignment whichonly few believed was achievable. Theywere tasked with building two 20-by-32-foot B-Huts at a coalition Special Opera-tions operating base inHelmand Province,Afghanistan.At first, the concept of an all-female

construction teamwas a random thoughtthrown aroundDet 4’s OperationsDepart-ment, but it quickly turned into realitywhen several female crewmembers weren’table to travel with their regular build teamsto sites with limited berthing arrange-ments. Once the women heard about the

tasking, they eagerly applied pressure tothe ops chief, Chief Utilitiesman MikeSaenz, to give them the chance at provingthemselves as highly skilled and capableSeabees.“As a woman in the Seabees, it can

sometimes be stressful proving myself tomy male counterparts, and I find it excit-ing to be able to prove myself at theirlevel or higher,” said Builder 3rd Class Jes-sica Vera.Builder 3rd Class Gafayat Moradeyo

was tasked as mission commander for theteam. Typically Det 4 mission command-ers are a pay grade or two more seniorthan other members of the team; how-ever, Moradeyo readily took on the chal-lenge. She quickly gathered her team andlaid out what needed to be done prior totheir departure. In short order the teamplanned and estimated the project, vali-dated building materials, packed theirpallet of construction tools andwere ready

to travel to Helmand Province.The team departed Bagram Air Field

Nov. 12 and transited to the site wheretheir skills were needed. Traveling to re-mote parts of Afghanistan can be difficultat best. This mission was no different asthey traveled by air, tactical groundmove-ment, and by foot to reach their ultimatedestination.Unlike most times Seabees show up to

a new location, this team was welcomedwith rolling eyes and comments on theorder of, “Really, a group of girls?”Mo-radeyo quickly put any doubts to rest asshe met with the camp commander toidentify berthing areas, where he wantedthe B-Huts built, and camp rules. Afterthis initial meeting, attitudes changed abit as coalition Special Operations Forcesliving at the site knew the Seabees werethere to help improve their quality oflife.Because the site had only recently been

inhabited by coalition SOF as part ofVillage Stability Operations, it lackedbasic amenities and was in dire need ofupgraded living facilities. Originallytasked with constructing two B-Huts,once on site they were asked to build four,one for a tactical operations center, agym, and two berthing B-Huts.“Water for bathing was pulled up in

buckets from a shallow well, which wasfreezing cold and it smelled horrible!”said Builder Constructionman ShelbyLutrey.Living conditions on the camp were

austere at best. As in similar build siteseveryone used WAG BAGs or “toilets ina bag” and lived off beans and rice fordinner.“Although this camp is not really de-

veloped, we already knew what we weregetting ourselves into,” said Moradeyo.As soon as the team hit the ground, theybegan working diligently and completedthe four B-Huts in record breaking timeof just over two weeks — a completiontime that their male counterparts haveyet to achieve.“Honestly, I was a little bit apprehen-

sive when I heard that there was going tobe an all-female team,” said the qualitycontrol petty officer, Utilitiesman 1stClass Joshua Hullsiek, “But I was com-pletely amazed and impressed by howefficiently and effortlessly they put thefour buildings together in just twoweeks.”The team is extremely proud to have

made history as the first all-female Seabeeconstruction team, but they are equallyas proud to be supporting the efforts tostabilize Afghanistan.“It’s been nothing but a great experi-

ence and honor to be a part of somethingbigger than myself,” said Moradeyo.

The eight-lane bowling alley at NavalBase Ventura County, Point Mugu, hasgotten a facelift, and soon the bowlingalleys at Port Hueneme and San NicolasIsland will too.AtMugu, scores are now shown on 42-

inch flat-screen monitors rather than theold 27-inch big boxes, and more than 200pairs of rental shoes are brand new.The pinsetters are new, the decorative

masking unit above the lanes and thebowling balls are new and bright, and thetables and chairs are new.The pins now glow in the dark, since

the pinsetter has a black light built in.“We’re excited about it,” said Jack Boy-

agian, who hasmanaged the bowling lanesat Port Hueneme since 1984 and Mugu’ssince 1998.He’s especially pleased with the new

pinsetters because they have fewermovingparts— “That’s what caused all the prob-lems with the old ones,” he said — andthey’re much quieter.Not only is the front-desk and scoring

equipment new, but the software is too.“It has a lot more graphics, a lot more

action,” Boyagian said.Much of the old equipment dated back

to the 1970s. The scoring system was anearly-1990s hand-me-down from San Di-ego.“The minute we installed it, it was ob-

solete,” Boyagian said. “Then it becamereally hard to get parts.”The front-desk system is top of the line,

Boyagian said.“It’s all networked to the scoring system

and the pinsetters,” he said. “Everythingcan be done on a touch screen at the frontdesk.”There’s also a new lane-cleaning and

conditioning machine.The bowling alley at Mugu reopened

Feb. 1 after the two-month project wascompleted.“We were only supposed to be closed

for three weeks, but the holidays createda scheduling conflict, and we had someproblems getting parts,” Boyagian ex-plained.When work begins at Hueneme, the

bowling alley is expected to be closed forfour to six weeks, although the bar willremain open.At Hueneme, the 40-year-old wood

lanes are being replaced with syntheticlanes. In addition, a new bumper systemand scoring system is being installed, andthe gutters, ball returns, ball racks andfurniture are being replaced.SanNicolas Islandwill finally get a scor-

ing system. There has never been one; allscoring there has been done by hand.“They’re really happy,” Boyagian said.In addition, the pinsetters, ball returns,

ball racks, masking units and furniturewill be replaced.That project is expected to take two

weeks, “but that’s only an estimate,”Boy-agian said. “Any renovations on SanNico-las Island can be tricky because of thetransportation issues.”

Much of the new equipment at NavalBase Ventura County is coming fromNaval Air Station Brunswick in Maine,which was disestablished last year, andfrom Bolling Air Force Base nearWashington, D.C., which merged withNaval Support Facility Anacostia tobecome Joint Base Anacostia-Bollingin 2010.The Point Mugu bowling alley is

open Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1p.m. and Thursdays, Fridays and Sat-urdays from 5 to 10:30 p.m.Cost is $2.50 per game for adults and

$1.75 for anyone under 18, but thereare several specials.

OnWednesdays, active-duty personnelbowl for free, and everyone else pays$1.00.On Saturdays, there’s a family discount

of $2 for adults and $1.50 for youth aslong as both the adults and kids bowl.Shoe rentals are $2 for adults and

$1.50 for kids. Shoe sizes range from achild 6 to an adult 14.Mugu also has a snack bar with mi-

crowavable sandwiches and hot dogs,snacks, sodas and beer.The facility can also be rented during

off-hours for parties of 10 or more.For more information, call the Huen-

eme lanes at 982-2619.

Renovated bowling lanes now open at Point Mugu


Patrick Horton, customer service representative at the Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, bowling alley, tries out the new bowlingballs at the facility.

New 42-inch flat screens have replaced the old scoring monitors at the Point Mugulanes.

More than 200 new pairs of rental shoesare now available at the Point Mugu lanes.Sizes range from a child 6 to an adult 14. AtHueneme, sizes go up to an adult 17.

The Biggest Loser contest at Naval BaseVentura County ended up with 29 partici-pants, with Monday, Feb. 6, being the lastday to join.On the first weigh-in Jan. 30, 17 people

who had signed up one week prior had al-ready lost a total of 44 pounds. By Feb. 6,the 29 participants had lost a total of 99pounds.“We have had different levels of commit-

ment,” said Ramona Pagel, manager of theBee-Fit Health and Wellness Center andorganizer of the event. “Some are just get-ting their feet wet after realizing that theyhave dug quite a hole as far as weight gain.These people are looking to make seriouslifestyle changes. Others are looking atsmaller losses and have at least an exerciseroutine, just poor eating habits.”

Pagel said each participant’s goal shouldbe a loss of one to two pounds a week.“However,” she said, “the intention is to

instill lifestyle changes in both exercise andeating habits.”She said the whole idea of the program is

tomake peoplemore conscious of howmuchthey exercise—or don’t exercise— and howmany calories they consume.She pointed out that a brisk walk and the

elimination of snacks and fried foods canresult in 500 fewer calories being consumedeach day — and after seven days, that’s aloss of one pound.What is growing is the amount the winners

REMEMBERING DR. KING

By Lt. Blake A. BaccigalopiVAW-116

While the Sailors of Carrier AirborneCommand and Control Squadron 116(VAW-116) have been underway on USSAbrahamLincoln (CVN-72) sinceDecem-ber, they have been in the minds of a won-derful organization.The Sons of the American Legion,

Squadron 283, officially adopted the SunKings in December just prior to deploy-ment.The Sons, occupying District 24 in the

Pacific Palisades area of California, havealready made quite an impression on theSouthern California area, devoting them-selves to community service and assistanceto military members and their families. Inthe latter part of 2011 alone, the Sonsparticipated in the Adopt-a-Soldier Pla-toon program, involving a unit deployedtoAfghanistan, and have raisedmore than$1,000 for the Ride-2-Recovery program,coming to the aid of wounded membersof the U.S. military.“Receiving the support of an outstand-

ing organization such as the Sons of theAmerican Legion is quite an honor,” said

Cmdr. Paul Dale, executive officer ofVAW-116. “Their aid to others is a traitwe as Sun Kings strive to personify.”Just prior to VAW-116’s departure, the

Sons enjoyed a day at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Point Mugu, experiencingdeployment preparation firsthand.

Aside from a tour of the E-2CHawkeyeand witnessing the attention to detail in-volved in the Sun Kings’ mission briefs,the Sons were able to stand side-by-sidewith the squadron’s landing signal officersduring a period of field carrier landingpractice.

With VAW-116 scheduled to returnto Point Mugu sometime in 2012, themore than 140 members will be wel-comed with open arms by not onlyfamily and friends, but also The Sonsof the American Legion, Squadron283.

how long a construction activity will takeand the number of personnel, equipmentand materials required to complete thetasks.“It’s the most difficult part [the plan-

ning], but it’s the stepping stone that mustbe done,” said Construction Electrician2nd Class (SCW) Roger Cook.The two K-Span facilities, including a

sanitation facility, will be a great benefitto Operation African Lion 2012, a jointtraining exercise between theU.S. militaryand theMoroccan military. This militarypartnership will include training in medi-cal treatment, firearms tactics, aviationand more.

Pe-ter J. Maculan, commanding officer ofNMCB 5.The battalion deployed in August 2011,

with the main body operating out of Na-val StationRota’s CampMitchell in Spain.From there, detachments were deployedto locations across Eastern Europe andAfrica, including Spain, Italy, Ukraine,Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Djibouti,Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania andGhana.“Maintaining good ties with the Span-

ish nationals is paramount, but green de-ployments like this are good for keepingour in-rate skills sharp,” said ConstructionElectrician 3rd Class Anton Skerl.This was his first deployment since join-

ing the Navy.Seabees assigned to these locations

helped provide support to many militaryinstallations and joint service exercises andprojects. Seabees constructed schools,bridges and various buildings throughoutAfrica and completed projects in Europeranging from Spanish bus stops, the con-

struction of roadways and building reno-vations.“The Professionals executed 32 critical

constructionmissions totaling over 25,000man-days throughout 18 locations in Eu-rope and Africa in direct support of 6thFleet and Combined Joint Task ForceHorn of Africa,” said Maculan. “I amextremely proud of all the hard work weput in over the course of this deploymentand am constantly amazed by the level ofgreatness achieved by our talented Sea-bees.”Operational responsibilities on deploy-

Class Kelan Scott and U.S.Army Sgt. Joel Lara raisedtheir right hands and swore theOath of Allegiance to theUnit-ed States in front of other U.S.service members.“This was pretty cool,” said

Scott, a utilitiesmanwithNavalMobile Construction Battalion5, who emigrated to theUnitedStates from St. Lucia, an islandcountry in the eastern Carib-bean Sea. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to benaturalized here at CampLem-onnier. It was very gracious ofthe camp leadership to dothis.”Sonia Gulati, director of the

Homeland Security U.S. Citi-zenship and Immigration Ser-vices Nairobi Field Office, saidshe has overseen these types ofceremonies for three years, butthis was the first time she hadconducted one at Camp Lem-onnier.“Truly this is one of the best

parts of my job – clearing in-

dividuals for citizenship whoare so dedicated to America. Ialways end up with tears in myeyes,” she said.Both Lara and Scott said

they left their respective coun-tries for a higher quality livingstandard as well as education.The two men made serving inthe military a top priority

when they arrived in the Unit-ed States, and their service wasappreciated by many in atten-dance at the ceremony.U.S. Navy Constructionman

Aarron Emmons of NavalMobile Construction Battal-ion 5, a friend of Scott, saidhe thinks immigrants are anasset to the military because

of their dedication toAmerica.They are willing to serve evenwhen they are not yet citizens,he said.Diversity “is part of the U.S.

military’s strength,” said U.S.NavyCapt. GerryHutchinson,Combined Joint Task Force -Horn of Africa director ofreligious affairs. “To me it’sgreat to have a military forcethat is as diverse as the nationit defends.”Having other service mem-

The Department of Defense’s (DOD)Lock Program is conducting tests in Feb-ruary to improve the physical security ofexplosives magazines used throughout theNavy and other armed forces.Engineers at the Naval Facilities Engi-

neering Service Center (NAVFAC ESC),located at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme, are performing a series ofintrusion tests using high threat level toolsets against representative door test pan-els.The results are expected to improve

overall magazine performance and prevent

easy access by unauthorized individualsor foreign entities.The DOD Lock Program is managed

by NAVFAC ESC.“Physical security is a high priority for

all military commands,” said Capt. BrantD. Pickrell, commanding officer of NAV-FAC ESC. “That is especially true of ex-plosives magazine safety and security.Smart magazines offer great promise, andtheir technology is constantly evolving.Munitions must be securely stored at alltimes, and the tests we are conducting atPort Hueneme will enhance their security,assisting our warfighters around theglobe.”

Smart Magazine consists of a light-weight door system, multipoint lockingsystem and standardized headwall sys-tem. The door system utilizes airfieldconcrete technology developed at NAV-FAC ESC, is over five times more costeffective than other proposed doors andoffers significant improvement in delaytime with respect to current magazinedoors.The tests will employ a systematic ap-

proach to improving the security of doorpanels currently in use. This phase, re-ferred to as Initial Operational Test andEvaluation, will continue throughout fis-cal year 2012.

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center

(Editor’s note: Second of two parts on helpingchildren cope with military-related issues.)

Deployments impact each child differ-ently, but most children will have somesense of loss and go through a period ofadjustment.Many studies have shown that children

become more resilient to hardship whenthey have supportive relationships thatfoster care and understanding.Military Kids Club (MKC) was devel-

oped to offer caring support to the chil-dren of military families by helping themcope with the stress of being separatedfrom a parent. By using games and groupactivities, MKC leaders help the childrenrealize they’re not alone in their experi-ence. This helps teach them how to expressand share their feelings with each other.MKC also fosters greater support and

understanding from the school’s teachersand administrators bymaking themmoreaware of the stressors that can be associ-ated with a military deployment.Often, when MKC leaders arrive on

campus, they find the children are anx-iously awaiting their arrival. They canhardly wait to get inside the classroom

and begin telling us their stories. They loveto talk about the places they’ve lived, thethings they’ve done, and sometimes, thepeople they’ve left behind. They talk aboutloving and missing a parent who is faraway, and they share about what they doto try to stay connected. They draw pic-tures, make treasure boxes for specialmemories and act out little plays that ex-press what they are feeling. Then, withbeaming faces, they gather up their proj-ects that reflect the new tools they’velearned and return to their classrooms.The children tell us they love coming to

MKC. For that reason, the FFSC wantsto offer every military child that attendsone of our local elementary or middleschools the opportunity to participate.If you have any questions about MKC,

or want more information about whenMKC will be available in your child’sschool, please contact the Fleet and Fam-ily Support Center at 982-5037.

An elementary school programthat helps youngsters experiencewhat it’s like to have a disabilitygot some help recently from Na-val Base Ventura County.Four Sailors volunteered to

staff the stations at Parkview El-ementary School near the base sothat students could find out whatit would be like to use a wheel-chair if they couldn’t walk anddo everyday tasks if they couldn’tsee.“Kids are learning that they

have to try a little harder and putin a little more effort, but thatthey can do what they need todo,” said Culinary Specialist 3rdClass AbramGoodloe. “They’relearning that some people justhave to do things a little differ-ently.”The programwas developed by

special education coordinatorsfor the Ventura County Superin-tendent of Schools Office. Thisparticular event took place short-ly beforeNavalMobile Construc-tion Battalion 40 deployed, butit is repeated at many schoolsthroughout the year.“Anything we can do to teach

children to be more aware ofwhat less-able kids go through isimportant,”saidDaveCastellano,the school psychologist atParkview Elementary.This was the second time the

program has come to Parkview,which opened its first special day

class for students with moderateto severe disabilities two yearsago. The teacher, Amanda Glov-er, is married to a Seabee inNMCB 40 and has helped coor-dinate several Navy-Parkviewcollaborations.“It’s important that children

understand special needs,” saidJamie Scholl, the mother of achild with Down syndrome. Herhusband, Equipment Operator3rd Class Nathan Scholl, is alsoin NMCB 40. “When they meetmy daughter, they won’t react sostrongly if they understand whatshe goes through.”Chief Builder Joe Bushre and

Chief Logistics Specialist CarlosLopez staffed the area where chil-dren could steer wheelchairsthrough an obstacle course and

use a walker to get down aramp.One second-grader spied the

walker and called out, “Hey, mygrandma has one of those!”Castellano said that’s not un-

usual.“Nearly everyone has someone

in their life who has special needsat some point,” he said. “Grand-ma might use a wheelchair if shebreaks a leg, or someone in thefamily might wear hearing aids.Children need a better under-standing of the challenges theyface.”Bushre said most people don’t

get this opportunity.“We’re teaching kids how to use

this stuff that most people don’tget to experience,” he said.“Hopefully, it will get them to

empathize.”At times there was more than

one way to teach the lesson.Goodloe andCulinary Special-

ist 2nd Class Jesus Fimbresworked at a table where childrenput on dark glasses so theycouldn’t see, then had to organize

everyday items by trying to re-member where they were on thetable.One boy put on the glasses,

then faced Goodloe.“How do I look?” he asked.“You look regular,” Goodloe

replied.

servicesMarch 22, 23 and the morning ofMarch 24.“We want to get the word out now so

that people can plan ahead,” said RobertHuether, installation training officer. “Weare urging people to stay away from thebase on those dates unless it is absolutelynecessary.”The annual force protection exercise is

called Citadel Shield/Solid Curtain. Cita-del Shield is a regional exercise involvingall Navy installations in Southern Cali-fornia and usually lasts the first part of

the week. Solid Curtain lasts the secondhalf of the week and involves all Navyinstallations worldwide.The base will go to elevated levels of

security during the week, culminatingwithtwo and a half days of some gate closures,100 percent identification checks and ran-dom vehicle inspections.“Every year during this exercise, we ex-

perience some backup at the gates, andwe are trying to minimize that this year,”Huether said.Last year, irritated drivers complained

of waiting up to two hours to get through

the gates at NBVC Port Hueneme. Thebackup at the Victoria Avenue gate andthe Las Posas gate backed up traffic onnearby streets, clogging neighborhoods.Huether said the base is considering a

“mitigation strategy” to reduce the num-ber of people trying to get on base — astrategy calledMEP, orMission-EssentialPersonnel.“Only people essential to completing the

mission — whether it’s getting planes inthe air or ships at sea — would come towork,”he explained. “All support activitieswould close.”

The commissary, Navy Exchange,Fleet and Family Support Center, theFlightline and Subway restaurants andMorale, Welfare and Recreation facili-ties, including the gyms, would shutdown.Child care facilities would be open on

a limited basis to care for the childrenof mission-essential personnel.Huether said regardless of whether the

base implements this strategy, peopleshould avoid NBVC March 22-24.“Unless it’s absolutely necessary for

you to come on base, don’t,” he said.

Exercise will mean some closed gates, more searches March 18-24CONTINUED FROM 1

By Darrell WallerNAVFAC ESC

The Naval Facilities Engineer-ing Service Center (NAVFACESC) announced the 2012 Mili-tary andCivilian Engineers of theYear on Feb. 1.The command selected Lt.

Cmdr.WilliamWindus and Josh-ua Henson.“The awards are recognition of

themilitary and civilian engineerswho have done an exceptionaljob in their field and in supportof NAVFAC and the fleet,” saidCapt. Brant D. Pickrell, NAV-FAC ESC commanding officer.“Lt. Cmdr. Windus and JoshuaHenson have distinguished them-selves by their hard work anddedication over the last year.Their special talents and skillshave raised the bar for their col-leagues and co-workers.”In his role as the ESC’s opera-

tions officer, Windus is in chargeof coordinating more than $400million of construction opera-

tions worldwide. He deftly incor-porated safety, project efficienciesand leadership into everyday con-struction operations.Windus also expeditiously re-

solved numerous high-profileproject execution issues, includingemergency repairs to NorfolkDegaussing Range and theMay-port Magnetic Silencing Facili-

ties.He led a NAVFAC, Defense

Logistics Agency (DLA), andU.S. Naval Supply Systems Com-mand (NAVSUP) energy team inthe execution of $180 million inPetroleum, Oil and Lubrication(POL) funds, reinvigorating theprogramby assisting stakeholdersin the development of vital proj-ect requirements.“Lt. Cmdr. Windus developed

innovative ways to improve ourproducts and services,” said Pick-rell, “including the use of enter-prise software systems that pro-vided real timeproject informationand helped eliminate unnecessarydata calls.”Joshua Henson, an ocean en-

gineer forNAVFACESC’sOceanFacilities Department, led a gov-ernment and industry team thatdeveloped, built, installed anddemonstrated an innovative un-derwater distributed network(UDN). Henson directed theteam through all phases of the

project, including concept genesis,requirements development, engi-neering, development and testingof the network nodes, test resultsevaluation, prototype production,and system installation at theNavy-owned South FloridaOcean Measurement Facility.This effort was the culmination

of a four-year, $8million research

and development project to de-velop a standardized networkapproach for undersea cable sys-tems. As a direct result of Hen-son’s superb engineering knowl-edge, judgment, communicationskills and contingency planning,the project was completed onschedule and within budget.“UDNs have the potential to

save the Navy millions of dollarsby modularizing undersea cablesystems and easily allowing onlyportions of a cable system to beremoved and replaced for main-tenance or repair,” said Pickrell.“It also allows for additionalcable systems to be added to ex-isting undersea cables by simplyplugging into the network.”Henson’s work eliminated the

need to install entirely new un-derwater cable systems, poten-tially saving millions of taxpayerdollars and improving fleet reli-ability for these vital cable sys-tems, some of which are criticalto national security.

That was his segue to discussing the fu-ture, what he called the “challenges and op-portunities to providing solutions to thewarfighter and understanding what chal-lenges he will face in the future.”It will require a true collaboration, he

said.“You are the ones who will be bringing

the solutions to the table,” he said. “This isthe collective group. No one else is doingthis. There is no fallback.”Winter said today’s challenges aren’t in-

surmountable, and he used history to proveit.“In the early 1970s,” he said, “we were

transitioningoutof awar.Wewere reducingour economic footprint. It sounds like 2012,doesn’t it?”The issueswe’re facingnow,he said, aren’t

new. But the individuals and the solutionsthey come up with will be.“This is an exciting time,”he said. “If we

have a positive attitude, if we lead our peo-ple andwemanage our staff, we’ll have newopportunities to solve our challenges.”
