Question: Please reconsider the closing of thePoint Mugu Post Office. I am truly disappointed andfrustrated. It is so convenient to have a post office onbase. The staff is extremely helpful and caring, andthere are no lines to wait in like there are at a normalpost office.

Answer: Thank you for allowing me the chance toaddress this concern. The decision to close the PointMugu postal location was not mine, but rests with theUnited States Postal Service. The location is a USPScontract facility, and the current contract has expired.Low retail sales at the site was one of the reasons

for the closure. Without enough sales to cover costs,it’s not efficient for the Postal Service to keep this siteopen or attractive for contractors to take the chance.The postmaster is working to find a new contractholder and is aware of the hardship this closure cre-ates for our Sailors and their families.For now, post office boxes at Point Mugu will

remain open. If a solution is not found in a timelymanner, the Postal Service plans to transfer boxes toPort Hueneme or refund payments to box holders atPoint Mugu.To help meet some of the demand created by the

closure, the Navy Exchange at Point Mugu is nowselling stamps. For package mailing services, thenearest full-service post office locations are at 560 E.Pleasant Valley Road in Port Hueneme (approximate-ly 5 miles away) and at 2532 Saviers Road in Oxnard(approximately 5.5 miles away). Both locations areopen Monday through Friday until 5:30 p.m. andhave 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday hours.In our current and tough economic times, all base

services are under review. Bottom line: I encour-age everyone to continue to use the services on base— the NEX, the commissary, the galleys, Single Sailorprograms and Fleet and Family Support programs.If we are not meeting your expectations, let us

know.

Why can’t Point Mugu Post Office reopen?

The chief staff officer of Naval BaseVentura County was the featured speakerat an annual Independence Day eventhonoring Ventura County veterans.Capt.David Sasek spoke to the audience

of 400 — many of whom fought in ournation’s wars — at the annual “Salute toOur Veterans” held July 3 at the CypressPlace senior living facility in Ventura.He talked about a document he holds

dear: the Declaration of Independence, acopy of which he keeps in his office andwhich he reads often to his children, in-cluding his 6-year-old.“I want them to understand their heri-

tage and their history,” he said.He called the Declaration “a bold state-

ment, and a bold idea,” but pointed outthat it was just that — an idea.“Change,” he said, “requires action.”For the next several minutes, he shared

with the audience the challenges ourFounding Fathers faced in carrying outthat action.George Washington cobbled together

an armymade up of farmers, silversmiths,coopers and cooks. Yet it would go on todefeat the best army in the world at that

HONOLULU – Lt. Cmdr. David Jayne,theoperationsofficer forNavalMobileCon-structionBattalion (NMCB)40, received the2012AdmiralBenMoreellAward forLogis-tics Competence (Officer) from the NavyLeague of the United States at the June 29annual Navy League convention in Hono-lulu.Since 1984, the annual award has recog-

nized one officer and one enlisted servicemember fromtheNavyorMarineCorps foroutstanding personal contribution that hasadvanced logistics readiness andcompetencefor theNavy.The Navy League’s National Awards

Board, chairedbyJ.WilliamMiddendorf II,former Secretary of the Navy, chose 20awardees from 800 applicants from the na-tion’s sea services:U.S.Navy,Marines,CoastGuard andMerchantMarine.“It was truly an honor to be selected for

theAdmiralBenMoreellAwardby theNavyLeague,”saidJayne.“It isparticularlyreward-ing sinceAdm.Moreell is knownas the ‘Fa-therof theSeabees,’andhewas instrumentalin theestablishmentof Seabeebattalionsdur-ingWorldWar II.”Jayne called it ironic that an operations

officer was selected for a logistics award.“But it demonstrates theold adage, ‘Ama-

teurs talk tactics,professionals talk logistics,’”headded. “Operating inAfghanistanduringour last deploymentwas extremely challeng-ing. We were spread across 12 detail sites,supporting four regional commanders. Weusedorganic equipment, coalitionassets andhost nation trucks to support our logisticsoperations. Someof the sites had littlemorethan thousand-year-old goat trails leading

to them, but wemade it work.”Jayne was nominated based on a body of

work that started in Afghanistan, includedonehomeport trainingcycle inPortHuenemeand concludedwith adeployment to thePa-cific.InAfghanistan, he led the battalion in lo-

gistical planning and contingency construc-tionmissions to supportU.S. Central Com-mand counter-insurgency operations acrossfour International SecurityAssistanceForceregional commands (RCs).While deployed, the battalion supported

the surge of 30,000 troops directed by thecommander in chief to bolster theAfghani-stan strategy.NMCB40 completed the con-structionof ForwardOperatingBase (FOB)DehDadi II, the largest earth-movingprojectby a Seabee battalion sinceWorldWar II.The battalion also supported Operation

Hamkari in theKandahar region, closed thelast gap in “GoldenHour”medical evacua-tion coverage in the country by building ahelicopter landing zoneatFOBSheberghan,and established the initial operating capacityfor the Northern Distribution Network, a

Secretary of Defense priority for Afghani-stan.AsNMCB40was the last battalion slated

forRC-North, Jaynewasalso responsible formoving its entireTableof Allowance toFOBLeatherneck in RC-Southwest.Duringacondensedhomeport for training,

Jayne oversaw the completion of five pre-deployment projects, four command postexercises, two embark events and a highlysuccessful field training exercise.He also ledtheplanningandexecutionof thebattalion’sU.S. Pacific Command deployment across11 geographically diverse locations.“This is a battalionaward,”Jayne said. “It

would not have been possible without theentireNMCB40 team, including the battal-ion’s supply department, embark organiza-tion, and the convoy security element thatsupported our operations across Afghani-stan.“I’ve always believed that if you can get a

Seabee where he needs to go with the toolsandmaterials toget the jobdone,hewill finda way to accomplish the mission, and weproved that time and time again.”

Moving every 2.9 years often meanslearning a new culture with every transfer.Schools have a culture— every state, everycounty, every school district has differentways of doing things. If you are new toNaval Base Ventura County and will havea child in local schools, here is some in-formation you might find helpful.

Class assignmentsTypically, elementary schools will post

class assignments in the front of the schoolthe week prior to the first day. Middleschools will typically hand out students’schedules the first day of school; somemay have an orientation day one weekprior. High schools will usually have astudent schedule pickup day the weekprior to the start of school, with a differ-ent day of the week for each grade.

School suppliesIf you were not given a “suggested”

school supply list when you registered yourstudent, you might find a list on theschool’s website or posted in the schooloffice window. Teachers may also havetheir own list. The best option may be to

buy some of the basics — pencils, pens,college-ruled notebook paper, a sturdybackpack— and be prepared to go to thestore the first day of school.

Supplemental programs andextracurricular activities

Many supplemental programs have beencut from school programs in California.Many elementary schools no longer havegym class, art class, music or band. Thosethat do usually pay for it through parentfundraising and community foundations.This doesn’t mean that your child will not

have the opportunity to participate inphysical education, art or music. Typi-cally, the regular classroom teacher willintegrate it into the daily curriculum. Stu-dents in middle school and high schoolwill have gym class required, and art ormusic will often be an elective course.Sports and extracurricular activities areoffered at the middle schools and highschools; however, parents may be askedto help fund their child’s participation.

Dress codeDress codes vary within the districts in

Ventura County. Some elementary andmiddle schools have a uniform require-ment. Others, including high schools, havedress code policies forbidding certainitems. Many middle schools and highschools do not allow any professionalsports team clothing. However, many willencourage college team logos. It is best tocheck with your student’s school beforethe first day.

School performanceStudents are given standardized tests

every spring. In the fall, results are calcu-

lated and schools are given a score, calledthe Average Performance Index (API).This is used to determine if the school ismeeting its Annual Yearly Progress (AYP).These scores can be found on the Califor-nia Department of Education website atwww.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap.

Worship schedule

As many of you know, I recently mademy permanent change of station fromCommander, Naval Surface Force, U.S.Atlantic FleetMinistry Center inNorfolk,Va., to Naval Base Ventura County as thenewest staff chaplain.When the time arrived for my transfer,

I was debating whether to sell my vehicle— also known as TheGasGuzzler— andfly out to California or drive coast tocoast. I decided that since I have traveledto 37 countries in my lifetime, yet haveseen very little of my own, it was time tosee some of the USA.I had a couple of different routes in

mind. I could blaze across Interstate 40,which I have taken before, and make ithere sooner, or I could take Interstate 80and see some states I have never seen. Idecided to take the 80.Everyone who has ever taken a long

road trip knows there are some essentialsto making this kind of journey: a doubleshot of espresso to start each day, a GPSwith an old-school map on standby, aspare tire at the very least and, without

fail, a good radio station to stay alert andentertained.So the road trip began, and as I drove

throughWest Virginia,Kentucky, Indiana,Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah andNevada, I changed radio stations ran-domly just to see what everyone was play-ing. The one song that played repeatedlywas Jason Aldean’s “Fly Over States.”Normally, it would have boredme to tearsto hear the same song across eight states,but it turned out to be the perfect com-panion for my drive.

As I listened, I felt very appreciative tobe anAmerican, to be servingmy countryin themilitary, to belong to this vast, beau-tiful land that has much to offer. I feltproud to know that our country praiseshard work, roots for the underdog andstands for freedom.I witnessed through my windshield the

skill of the farmers, ranchers and the aver-age American at work. Now, I too under-stand why “God made those fly overstates.” There’s a Bible passage that says,“The hills rejoice on every side, the pas-tures are clothed with flocks; the valleysalso are covered with grain; they shout forjoy, they also sing.” (Psalm 65:12-13)I think nature has a way of reminding

us that God is good and adds His blessingto our land. Sometimes we just have toslow down and take it all in to recognizeHis handiwork.So I encourage you, next time you are

PCSing cross-country and the opportu-nity arises, don’t fly. “Take a ride.”MayGod’s presence be the strength and

sure foundation of your life!

Before considering a pet, consider theprice.A home can provide plenty of love and

care for a new animal. However, it’s notjust whowill do the chores associated witha new pet that you need to discuss. It’s alsothe cost.In 2010, American households spent

more than $60 billion on their “animalfamily members,” according to the U.S.Census Bureau.Consider carefully which creature would

fit your budget.The go-to pet is, of course, “man’s best

friend.” Depending on the size of dog,costs could run from $300 to $700 a year.On average, the annual cost for owning asmall dog is $355, a mid-size dog is $470and a large dog is $650.Cats aren’t any easier on the budget. On

average, a cat can cost up to $495 a year.A guinea pig is even more expensive

— $635 a year. You can opt for a smallermammal, such as a hamster, that onlycosts an average of $300 a year.If mammals aren’t the type of pet you

want, consider that a small bird will costyou around $200 annually. A fish seemsto be the smallest investment, with an av-erage annual cost of only $35.The most expensive animal to own is

the rabbit. The American Society for thePrevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASP-CA) states that the cost to feed andmain-tain bunnies is $730 a year. Part of thehigh price is for the veterinary costs. Bun-

nies are considered exotic and require aspecialist, which is typically more expen-sive. AnnaCoulson, whose husband,Karl,is an ensign with NavalMobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 3, travels to Thou-sand Oaks for a specialist to treat her twobunnies.These large figures are easy to reach

considering all the expenses that comewith owning a pet: food, grooming, an-nual shots, veterinary visits, toys. MeganMadge and her husband, Joe, an ensignwith NMCB 5, pay $35 to have each oftheir two Shetland Sheepdogs groomed.This is considerably lower than their pre-vious duty station, Washington, D.C.,where they paid $90 per dog.Another expense to consider is boarding

costs during vacations.Also, some people find it practical to

purchase pet insurance in case any majormedical expenses occur.If you are planning to bring a pet into

your family but are unsure about the costand how it will affect your budget, contacttheNavy-Marine Corps Relief Society fora one-on-one budget consultation at 805-982-4409.

By Kathy StewartNSWC, Port Hueneme Division

Naval Surface Warfare Center(NSWC), Port Hueneme Division,hosted a joint event with NavalBase VenturaCounty (NBVC) June21 to celebrate National AsianAmerican/Pacific IslanderHeritageMonth.The observance featured key

speaker Francey Lim Youngberg,the deputy assistant secretary onIntergovernmental Affairs at theU.S. Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD).The theme for the event was

“Striving for Excellence in Leader-ship, Diversity and Inclusion.”NBVC CommandMaster Chief

Thomas Cyr provided opening re-marks for the occasion, noting themany contributions that Asian-Pa-cific Americans havemade not onlyto the military but also to Ameri-can values. He emphasized that theobservance was “a way to celebratethe strength of mixed cultures anddiversity.”

Youngberg reflected on her tran-sition to American life as a younggirl after immigrating with her fam-ily to the U.S. from the Philip-pines.“Fortunately, I had my parents

and teachers to help me,” she said,noting that manyAsian-Pacific im-migrants are not always fortunateto have that kind of support.Youngberg became a success

story in her own right, graduatingfrom Wellesley College and Har-vard Law School. She was a taxattorney for a corporate firm, butfound a new calling in the early1990s.“Diversity is really what makes

up a community,” she explained,“so I decided to start advocatingfor services on behalf of the Asiancommunity.”According to her official biogra-

phy, she became the founding ex-ecutive director of the Asian-Pa-cific American Institute forCongressional Studies; mobilizedcommunity leaders and business

owners to save the Mayor’s Officeof Asian-Pacific Islander Affairs inWashington, D.C.; and helped theSmithsonian Asian-Pacific Ameri-can Program with its initial five-year strategic plan.Her efforts earned her public rec-

ognition as one of the most influ-ential Asians in America — a dis-tinction that continues today as sheworks to further the government’sAsian-Pacific community initiativesin her appointed role with HUD.Cmdr. Todd Ehrhardt, the chief

staff officer of NSWC, Port Hue-neme Division, offered closing re-marks, reiterating the importanceof diversity and thanking Young-berg for her contribution to theevent.The celebration was followed by

a lunch featuring Asian-Pacificfare. The event and the lunch werecoordinated by NSWC, Port Hue-neme Division’s Asian-Pacific Is-lander Committee and NBVC’sAsian-Pacific American Commit-tee.

TheCenter for Seabees and Fa-cilities Engineering (CSFE) re-cently selected Wayne Ayala ofthe Naval Construction TrainingCenter (NCTC), Port Hueneme,as the CSFE Civilian Instructorof the Year.Ayala was chosen from among

instructors at not only Port Hue-neme, but also the three otherlearning sites managed by theCSFE: NCTC Gulfport, Miss.;CSFEDetachment Fort LeonardWood, Mo.; and CSFE Detach-ment Sheppard Air Force Base,Texas.“Mr. Ayala really cares about

his students,” said Builder 2ndClass (SCW)DeophalusLeonard,who is taking planning and esti-mating classes. “He is always will-ing to help out a struggling stu-dent and is quick to identifydifferent learning styles. He is the

best instructor I have ever had.”Cmdr. Scott Loeschke, com-

manding officer of NCTC Port

Hueneme, agreed wholeheartedlywith the choice.“I was definitely excited,” he

said. “It is a big honor consider-ing the field of candidatesthroughout the CSFE domain.He earned it for his students andthe command. The board couldnot have selected a better instruc-tor.”During 2011, Ayala trained 45

students, delivering 1,440 contacthours of instruction with no aca-demic drops or failures. In addi-tion, he was instrumental in theplanning and execution of a mo-bile training team that providedconstruction management train-ing to deployed Seabees in Guamand Japan.“Three things set Mr. Ayala

ahead of the competition,” Loe-schke said. “One is his knowledge.He is an incredibly smart guy andhas extensive knowledge. Secondis his leadership. As a retiredmas-ter chief he provides a tremendousamount of leadership to the com-mand. Finally, Mr. Ayala reallycares about his students. It is ob-vious in the student critiques.”

Among his other accomplish-ments, Ayala was at the forefrontfor the design and implementationof the new Naval ConstructionForce (NCF)CrewLeaderHand-book,whichwill be used through-out the NCF for constructionproject planning.He also helpedCSFE complete

and implement the Planning andEstimating Specialist “C”Schoolcourse curriculum update, whichincluded new reference materialsand student activities. The cur-riculum change will benefit stu-dents heading out on deploymentaround the world.

HATYAO, Thailand—A nine-personteam from U.S. Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 40 recently par-ticipated in the Cooperation Afloat Read-iness and Training exercise (CARAT)2012.Working in conjunction with their Thai

counterparts, the NMCB 40 personneltested their knowledge in a mock disasterdesigned to improve key local infrastruc-ture, preparing them for real world hu-manitarian assistance and disaster reliefmissions.The Seabeesworkedon immediate debris

removal in order to clear the way for newand existing roadways, and they surveyedbuildings to determine whether they werestructurally sound enough to use as tem-porary medical facilities.Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jeremy

Brown helped train medical personnelfrom both the U.S. Coast Guard and theThai medical team, demonstrating theskills necessary to recover and treat theinjured.“Despite advances in our combat life-

saving techniques since World War I andWorldWar II, it’s refreshing to see that alldocs around the world are on the samepage, using the basics with one goal in

mind, with one fight — to save lives andget troops back on the battlefield,” saidBrown.When asked about the purpose of the

exercise, Steelworker 1st Class Angel Canosaid, “It’s important to understand thewayother foreign military construction forceswork. In order to be efficient in the faceof adversity, you must understand howtheywork, andwork side by sidewith themto build stronger interoperability.”NMCB40 is nowon its way back to Port

Hueneme from deployments in Okinawa,Sasebo andYokosuka, Japan, Guam,Ko-rea, the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand,Timor Leste, Diego Garcia and Palau.

ers talking to the children.“I had a good time,” said Lt. j.g. Lauren

Bueler, assigned toAlfa Company. “It wasreally rewarding to see their faces, see themget excited about what we do, teach themour job and get them excited about a ca-reer past high school.”Seabees talked about previous deploy-

ments and described their careers. Thepresentation highlighted different job op-portunities and benefits that are availablein the Navy.“I appreciate the support,” Stein said.

“I believe themilitary is important nomat-ter what branch you are in. I’m very grate-ful that you all came out to show supportto our students and our youth in this com-munity. Thank you.”

Story by NMCB 3 Public AffairsTAKORADI,Ghana—ThirteenSeabees

fromNavalMobileConstructionBattalion(NMCB)3played a soccer game lastmonthwith the local Takoradi soccer club in aneffort to improve Ghanaian-U.S. relations.The Seabees deployed to Ghana last

month to complete a variety of humanitar-ianandcivic assistance constructionprojectsin the region and the surrounding Africancountries of Togo and Benin.The June 17 game was advertised on the

local radio station and approximately 150soccer fans braved the rain towatch the twoteams play.“The sportsmanship of the people was

unbelievable,”saidChief SteelworkerMarkPembleton, thedetachmentofficer in charge.“The people of Ghana welcomed us intotheir community andmost even cheered forour team.”The game was planned by Pembleton in

order to further improve local-U.S. relations,and itwas arrangedby JohnCarol, the doc-tor at the Ghanaian Naval Clinic that theSeabees were renovating as a part of theirhumanitarian construction support.After a few phone calls from Carol, the

Seabees had a game set up with the localsoccer club for Sunday.Although the Seabees had only three

members who had ever played soccer, aftera quick crash course on the fundamentals,they were ready for the game.“Itwas very intimidating to play an orga-

nized team, especially one from a culturethat values the sport somuch,”saidBuilderConstructionman Zavier Favila.Although theSeabees thought the contest

would end in a rout, they managed to staytoe-to-toe with the Ghanaians for 90 min-utes in the rain-drenched field. The matchended with a 4-4 tie.Following the game that forged relation-

ships, the Seabees invited all the players toapartywith refreshments, pictures and con-versation. The two sides, after all, have beenteammates in a bigger project: assuring thattheGhanianmedical facility receivedmuch-needed improvements.“You guys saved the clinic. This project

has been needed for 10 years,” Carol said.“Wewouldnot have survivedwith the shapethe clinic was in. You guys have a greatreputation and we are grateful to have youhere.”

homeport to increase proficiency in weap-ons, tactics and convoys, all of which willbe used by NMCB 5 to help accomplishfuture missions.“I spent about 10 months in Afghani-

stan. The majority of the time I was in anurban environment, we would go out andbuild forward operating bases for theArmy,” said Steelworker 2nd Class JosephValence, the 31st Seabee Readiness Grouplead instructor for the training.The class spans 10 days. Seabees fire on

a small arms range, practice magazinedrills and are taught different tacticalmovements that will help them conductfuture operations in the field. Once theinitial drills are completed, the traineeslearn more advanced techniques at PointMugu’s Home Station Training Lanes

(HSTL).“Ultimately we want everybody to be

mission-ready and capable to deploy intocombat areas and safely come back witheverybody,” Valence said.At the HSTL, Seabees learn to work as

a team to clear buildings and eliminatehostile threats. They’re armed with rifles,pistols and full battle gear with facemasks.Valence and his team taught the Seabees

how to effectively communicate with eachother and focus on goals as one unit.“It’s always nice to have a certain team

who has been really cohesive and has beentraining with each other,” said BuilderConstructionman Ethan Strey, assignedto NMCB 5’s CSE.

“The course is great and it’s been a greatlearning experience,”he added. “CSE hasbeen awesome, it’s given me a lot of op-portunities that I probably wouldn’t havebeen able to do if I was in a regular com-pany.”Valence said the training can be used

anywhere.“Deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan or re-

ally wherever you go, there is some sortof threat,” he said. “Even without thethreat, just knowing urban terrain andurban environments will definitelyhelp.”

Seabees assigned to NavalMobile Con-struction Battalion (NMCB) 5 recentlycompletedCommandPost Exercise (CPX)2 at Naval Base Ventura County.CPX2, which ended June 14, is designed

to increase the battalion’s readiness in thefield. NMCB 5 will conduct three CPXsand oneField TrainingExercise this home-port before a scheduled deployment earlynext year to Pacific Command.Seabees trained and reacted to scenar-

ios that included entry control point drillsand dealing with enemy threats. The bat-talion created forward operating bases andestablished successful communicationswithin the camp.Since CPX is executed with real equip-

ment, the training helps familiarize newbattalion personnel for future operationsin the field.“Seabees are hands-on types of people,”

said Lt. j.g. Donald Huls, the CPX 2 of-ficer in charge. “It’s one thing to read andtalk about it, and it’s another thing to go

out and do it.”Seabees worked together to set up tents,

operate equipment and establish commu-nications throughout camp.“Communications is important because

it allows everyone to be cohesive and beon the same page. If you’re not commu-nicating then a lot of things can gowrong,people can get hurt,” said InformationSystemTechnician 2ndClassMaryMoun-tain, a Seabee assigned to the NMCB 5Communication Department.Seabees go through classes throughout

homeport to learn the different commu-nications used in the field.“I feel like if I didn’t have that training

I would have been lost right now with allthe protocol that goes along with every-thing that we do.We are doing training toget us ready for the future,” said Steel-workerConstructionmanBrandonFletch-er.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 5 completed an embark train-ing exercise at Naval Base VenturaCounty last month, learning the correctprotocol to prepare equipment and ve-hicles for safe transit on an aircraft.“Embark is important because it’s

how you get to the fight,” explained Lt.j.g. Aaron Kotlarz, NMCB 5 Embarkofficer. “You have to make sure every-thing is right when you do it here be-cause if not, you’re not getting on theplane and not getting to the fight. At-tention to detail is critically impor-tant.”At the 31st Seabee Readiness Group’s

Mount-Out Control Center, the Seabeesprepared equipment that would beneeded in the field or at a deployed lo-cation for safe transportation.“In a real-world situation where we

are called upon to deploy the battalion,we have 48 hours to do it,” said Equip-ment Operator 1st Class ChristopherWyeth, NMCB 5 Embark leading pet-ty officer. “We have all of homeport to

try to get that training to our Seabees.It’s a battalion effort.”Wyeth explained that the embark pro-

cess begins in the Alfa Company yard.Heavy equipment such as vehicles, doz-ers and graders are dispatched from the

Alfa yard and checked, washed andcontrolled before they go anywhereelse.Each vehicle is then taken to the em-

bark yard where it is weighed andmarked before being placed in priorityorder for transport via aircraft.“You want to know how much the

plane is going to weigh so that you canfuel it accordingly or that you don’toverload it,” said Utilitiesman Con-structionman Reyna Ellington, a mem-ber of NMCB 5’s embark team. “Eachplane has a certain allowable weightthat it can handle. If you measure itwrong then it could be too heavy andcause the plane to crash or not able totake off.”Pallets and generators must also be

prepared for embarkation.NMCB 5 completed the exercise suc-

cessfully.“Working with the troops is a lot of

fun and seeing the stuff they do isamazing,” said Kotlarz.NMCB 5 is preparing for a scheduled

deployment to Pacific Command earlynext year.

of Navy fleet life by two of VR-55’s re-serve pilots and combat veterans, Lt.Cmdr. Jodi Maroney, a former MarineCorps CH-53 pilot, and Lt. Cmdr. MattFlynn, a former F/A-18 Hornet pilot.They talked of the intricacies of combatoperations, leadership and duty to coun-try.

The cadets also actively engaged in aquestion-and-answer sessionwith not onlythese VR-55 pilots, but also the VR-55loadmaster, Aircrewman Mechanical 1stClass NickMaisonet, as well as four mid-shipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy.Maisonet provided valuable information

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center

Destiny Lockwood, who will be aneighth grader at E.O. Green Junior HighSchool inOxnard this fall and is amemberof the Military Teens Club at the school,originally wrote this for a school assign-ment and later read it to the club.“Her poignant description is an impor-

tant reminder about the challenges ofsome of our biggest military heroes—ourmilitary kids,” said Lori Steinhauer, coor-dinator of theMilitary Teens Club, whichis sponsored by the Fleet & Family Sup-port Center.Destiny is the daughter of Denise and

SW1 (SCW) Keith Lockwood, who is inthe TrainingDepartment of NavalMobileConstruction Battalion 5.

By Destiny LockwoodBeing military is very hard. It’s hard on

the children and the spouses. Sometimes

the service member will have to deploysomewhere. There are lots of activities tokeep the children busy while mom or dadis away.Childrenwith parents in themilitary can

experience some of the effects that chil-dren with divorced parents have. Childrenat home with mom or dad worry that thatparent will leave too! If a spouse is frus-trated the children will feel like it is theirfault. Some children feel that the servicemember doesn’t love him or her when theygo on deployment.When children start tofeel like this the parent should tell themthat they are loved. Parents should neverlie to their children to hide them from thedangers that their parent will face.When it comes to sharing feelings chil-

dren lack the vocabulary to express howthey feel. The servicemember should showthe children where they are deploying.They may feel more relaxed about the de-ployment if they know what their parentis doing there. Military children move sixto nine times while growing up. They

carry a lot of responsibilities. Militarychildren have to worry about things thatmost kids will never know. There are over1.7 million military children in theworld.Although being military spouses and

children is hard, you learn to stick to-gether. You know that your parent is do-ing his or her part in the world.

time.And while the Declaration would live

on — the following day would mark 236years since its signing — five of the menwhose signature it carries would be cap-tured, tortured and killed during theRevolutionary War. Twelve had theirhomes ransacked and burned, and twolost sons in the war.“As I stand here before you today,”

he said, “I see men and women who areinheritors of that call to defend homeand hearth, nation and ideals, indepen-dence and freedom.”He said he was humbled to be in the

presence of so many veterans and theirfamilies, and he praised them for up-holding the Founding Fathers’ legacy.He also praised the Soldiers, Sailors,

Airmen and Marines who are current-ly deployed, and he received a heartfelt,spontaneous burst of applause when heannounced that Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion 40 was on its wayhome.Sasek had the opportunity to shake

hands and chat with the Cypress Placeresidents who are veterans, includingBill Gamble, a radioman in the Navyfrom 1940 to 1946, and Gary Faber, anArmy medic who arrived in Normandythe day after the invasion.The tributes weren’t lost on the vet-

erans.“This is a nice thing,” Faber said,

tor of the Navy Lodge program, had highpraise for the staff.“It’s all about the work you guys do

every day,” he said. “I’ve been talking tothe guests, and they love it here at NBVC.It’s big enough they can do everythingand small enough to feel like a commu-nity. You make them feel welcome.”The Navy Lodge at Port Hueneme has

ward E. Carlson, who served duringWorld War II as a supply officer andeventually went on to become the chair-man of Westin hotels. Carlson served asa member of the Secretary of the Navy’sadvisory committee, and his advice wascritical to the formation of the NavyLodge program.

Submitted by NBVC Environmental HealthThis is the time of year when snake

sightings increase at Naval Base VenturaCounty. Though uncommon, rattlesnakebites do occur.The first thing to do if bitten is to stay

calm. Generally, the most serious effectof a rattlesnake bite to an adult is localtissue damage, which needs to be treat-ed.Get to a doctor as soon as possible, but

stay calm. Frenetic, high-speed drivingplaces the victim at greater risk of an ac-cident and increased heart rate. If the doc-

tor is more than 30 minutes away, elevatethe bite and then try to get to the doctoras quickly as possible.If someone you’re with is bitten by a

poisonous snake, remove constrictingitems such as rings or other jewelry thatcould cut off blood flow if the bite areaswells. Immobilize the bitten area andtransport the victim to a hospital as quick-ly as possible.If it will take several hours before you

can transport the victim, do the follow-ing:• Gently rinse the bitten area with soap

and water, then pat or air dry.•Wrap awide constriction bandage (not

a tourniquet) two to four inches upstreamof the bitten area — if it’s on an extrem-ity — so long as the pressure is not tootight. One or two fingers should be ableto slide under the band. The goal is toslow surface blood flow, not stop arterialblood flow. Stopping blood flow to a limbwill result in the loss of the limb.Never cut and suction the bite area or

use a venom extractor, and never applyice or cooling packs to the area as thesemay result in greater harm.

What to do if you’re bitten by a rattlesnake
