Tax season is right around the corner, andthe Self-Service Tax Assistance Program atNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC) needsvolunteers.

This program helps active duty servicemembers, military dependents and retireesprepare their federal and state income taxreturns. Without volunteers, service membersand their families would have to prepare theirown taxes or pay $100 or more to a tax pre-parer.

Last year, volunteers at the NBVC centerhelped complete more than 1,050 federal andstate tax returns, yielding the military com-munity more than $1.3 million in refunds. Italso saved these taxpayers thousands of dol-lars in tax preparation fees.

The Self-Service Tax Assistance Programis sponsored each year by the Region LegalService Office, Detachment Ventura.

All volunteers will receive free training tobecome a federal and California state taxpreparer. Training is usually the first twoweeks in January.

For more information or to sign up as avolunteer, call Sal Gonzales at (805) 982-4548.

Question: Are there any planned upgrades to theathletic fields on Point Mugu? The fields are oftenmarked with rodent holes, and with the droughttheyre more dirt than grass. I had heard rumors last

year that we may be getting a turf field similar to theone at Port Hueneme, but I havent heard updates onthat or if there was any merit behind those rumors inthe first place.

Answer: The athletic fields at Point Mugu andmany of the grounds on base, including the head-

quarters building, are frequently marked with signs of gophers. We even had an article about gophers in The Lighthouse not too long ago! Its really part of thechallenge of operating in such a natural environment.

The field located nearest the movie theater at Point Mugu is slated to be replaced with a synthetic field. The rumors are true. Work is currently sched-uled to begin in January, with completion in April or

May.

Weve cut back on watering during the drought,and it is having an impact in our green spaces. The

synthetic field needs less water mostly for theoccasional spray-down cleaning so getting itinstalled will both improve the recreation and PT op-tions at Point Mugu and reduce our water consump-tion.

Until then, our Morale, Welfare and Recreationteam keeps an eye on the fields, maintaining themand working with safety to ensure theyre fit for use.We also call in a pest service when necessary.

Do you have questions, comments, or suggestions? I want to hear them! Reach me here by [email protected], on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia. You can also go onlineto our homepage at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/in-dex.htm and use the Commanding Officers Sugges-

tion Box. I look forward to hearing from you.

Will Mugus athletic elds be upgraded?

Seabees from Naval MobileConstruction Battalion (NCMB)3 teamed up with the battalionsFamily Readiness Group (FRG)to help families celebrate a safeHalloween at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Port Hue-neme Oct. 28.

The annual Trunk or Treatevent invited families to dress upand decorate their vehicles whilechildren received goodies, prizes

and toured decorated spacesaround NMCB 3s commandbuilding.

The battalions FRG teamawarded $25 Navy Exchange(NEX) gift cards for the Most

Spooktacular and the MostCreative trunk decorations.

According to Chief Steelwork-er Joe Worrell, the event helpedstrengthen friendships and boost

morale.Seabees and their families

were able to really get to knoweach other and build trust, whichoverall helps with the battalionscohesion when we deploy andincreases mission readiness,Worrell said.

As children romped throughthe command building, pillagingtrunks for treats, NMCB 3 friendsand families enjoyed a safe holi-day.

It was a big eye opener know-

ing my son is growing up, saidChief Logistics Specialist BennySalazar. I love these events onbase. They are safe, fun and I getto meet the other families fromthe command.

Children participating at this years Trunk or Treat get candy from adecorated trunk Tuesday, Oct. 28.

Dragons and tigers andsharks, oh my!

Animals, super heroes complete with turtle shellsand capes and beautifulprincesses all took centerstage Friday, Oct. 31, asHalloween worked its mag-ic on Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC).

Youngsters were asked todress as a storybook char-acter for a Halloween cos-tume parade at the ChildDevelopment Center atNBVC Port Hueneme.Thanks to childrens booksbased on popular movies,that was easy to do. TeenageMutant Ninja Turtles stoodnext to girls in Disney

gowns, with Optimus Prime,Wonder Woman and a Spi-derman or two making anappearance.

This is our first year do-ing Storybook CharacterParade, explained directorTamara Lo-Ray. I had somany parents ask aboutdressing up for Halloween,and I was trying to figureout how to make this eventeducational and fun. Theidea was to promote litera-cy.

Some active duty militaryparents visited that morningand shared stories from theirfavorite childrens books.

Later that night, the NavyExchange at NBVC PortHueneme hosted a trick-or-treat event, where youngsterscould collect candy andspend time with their par-ents drawing and coloring.

It was a special time forSteelworker 2nd Class Spen-cer Hawks of Naval MobileConstruction Battalion(NMCB) 3 and his wife,Whitney.

They were enjoying theirsons first Halloween: Saw-

yer Hawks is six and a halfmonths old. He was dressedas a strawberry for the oc-casion.

Reading a lot into this Halloween

Since colleges will accept either, is it bestto take the SAT or the ACT?

Unfortunately, the answer isnt simplebecause it depends on the students and theirtesting and subject matter preferences.

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) andthe American College Test (ACT) are col-lege entrance exams used by most collegesin the U.S. For most schools, students havean option to take either. However, collegeapplicants should be sure that the test scorebeing submitted is the best possible testscore theyre able to get. Since some stu-dents may do better on one test than an-other, its important to compare the two.

One difference between the SAT andACT is science. The SAT does not have ascience section, and the ACT does, but itis meant to test reading and reasoningskills, not a knowledge of science.

The SAT has a required writing section,but the writing on the ACT is optional.However, some colleges will require thewriting test. Be sure if you opt out of theACT writing section that your school willnot ask for your writing score. Also, theSAT essay score will be factored into thecomposite writing score. The ACT writing

score will be kept separate.In the math category, the ACT has trig-

onometry, while the SAT covers only basicarithmetic, algebra I and II and geometry.One thing to consider, though, is that theACT math questions seem to be morestraightforward. For some students, thismakes the ACT math easier.

The SAT covers vocabulary with muchmore emphasis than the ACT. If word-smithing isnt your thing, the ACT maybe better for you.

The SAT is broken up into more sections,and colleges will look at scores for each

section. The ACT is more of a big pictureexam. For the ACT, colleges will look moreat the composite score than the individualsections.

So, how does a student really know whatis best? Taking both tests is an option.However, both tests require a fee and typ-ically a Saturday morning. Another optionmight be taking a practice test or a prepcourse to see which test best fits you. How-ever, these options are typically very cost-ly.

Fortunately, military families have an-other option.

eKnowledge is offering military familiesa regularly priced $250 SAT and/or ACTtest prep program for just the cost of pro-viding the programs (under $20). The feecovers everything, including materials, ship-ping, student support and streaming.

The Donation Project is in alliance withthe Department of Defense and supportedby more than 100 partners, including pro-fessional football and baseball players. Innine years, eKnowledge has donated morethan 215,000 SAT and ACT programs val-ued at over $50 million. No profit is cre-ated by the donation effort, and all proceeds

are reinvested to improve the program.The SAT and ACT PowerPrep Programs

are available online or on a single DVD.Programs include more than 11 hours ofvideo instruction and 3,000 files of supple-mental test prep material, thousands ofinteractive diagnostic tools, sample ques-tions and practice tests. Students can studyat their own pace.

The programs are available to all servicemembers who are active duty, retirees, vet-erans, National Guard, Reserve, Depart-ment of Defense employees, contractorsand civilians performing military support.Also eligible are relatives and dependentsof anyone who otherwise qualifies fromthe prior list.

Students may order both the ACT andthe SAT program for under $40 for the two.This way, they will be sure to take the testthat will give them the best score to attachto the college application. Please go towww.eKnowledge.com/NBVC to order.

The NBVC school liaison officer can becontacted at 805-989-5211 or via email [email protected] for any K-12 education-related questions.

Should college-bound students take the SAT or ACT?

Worship schedule

Nearly 50 years ago, the cinema classicEndless Summer premiered in a smalltheater during a winter snow storm inKansas. At the time, no one could haveimagined that this little independentmovie was launching a cultural phenom-enon still felt throughout the world to-day.

The premise and plot of the story wasbrilliant in its simplicity. If some luckysurfers had enough time and money, eachyear they could theoretically follow a 365-day summer season around the world. Inother words, it is always summer some-where in the world. Hence, the title: End-less Summer.

Since its debut, this prototype travel-ogue and its adventure plot line havespawned endless television shows andmovies of similar themes.

Moreover, this iconic documentary alsoinfluenced how the public perceived thesurfing lifestyle around the world. Therewere people, for example, who had neversurfed or cared to surf who still flockedto the theaters just to experience the surf-ers joyous journey on the movie screen.

While the idea of enjoying a series ofendless summers is an intriguing one, we

all know this kind of adventure doesnthappen in real life. While it would be greatto live such a Peter Pan-like existence, noone lives forever. Statistics indicate thetypical American will live to be, on aver-age, 79. So that means the typical Amer-ican will enjoy 79 summers in his or herlifetime.

When I was growing up, my summerswere very important to me. It meant aspecial time of no homework and extraplay time with my friends. As I growolder, my summers now mean I have a bitmore time with my family members (es-pecially my nieces!) because this is also

the time when they are out for summervacation.

When I was in my teens or even early20s, I really thought I had all the time inthe world to do whatever I wanted laterin life. Now I know differently.

A nurse who works with the sick anddying in hospices once revealed somecommon regrets from her former patients.Not surprisingly, they are as follows: Theywished they had spent more time withfriends and loved ones, laughed morealong the way and quit worrying so muchabout things they couldnt control inlife.

I want to encourage us all to spendmore time with our friends and lovedones, laugh more along the way and quitworrying about things we cant control.When we go to bed tonight, thank Godfor the people and blessings He has placedin our lives.

Whatever you and I are worried about,lift your cares and burdens up to Him.Let go of whatever we are hanging ontoand let it go in Gods hands! Enjoy what-ever summer time you have left withyour friends and loved ones.

May God bless you all greatly!

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4 Detail Diego Garcia poses for a photofollowing a tour of USS San Francisco (SSN-711). The submarine came into port Oct.3 at U.S. Navy Support Facility Diego Garcia. NMCB 4 is deployed to the Pacific areaof responsibility in support of humanitarian assistance operations and to maintainrelationships with regional governments through construction projects.

By CECA Ginger KnappNMCB 4

DIEGO GARICA After 77 arduousdays under the oceans surface, the USSSan Francisco (SSN-711) came up forsome fresh air and much needed replenish-ments Oct. 3.

The submarine pulled into the port inthe lagoon of Diego Garcia for a briefstay before continuing on its missionaround the globe.

Dirt Sailors so-called due to theirlack of time spent on water and majorityof time doing various construction proj-

ects on land the Seabees of Naval Mo-bile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4sDetail Diego Garcia were eager to inves-tigate this uncharted territory and wereinvited to tour the massive vessel.

The limited amount of space was re-

markable, said Builder 3rd Class MeaganFulford. Every piece of equipment wasso jam-packed and perfectly fit into itsfinal location like a puzzle piece.

Completely self-sufficient, the USS SanFrancisco even creates its own oxygenwhile underway. Each member of the crewmust be an expert in firefighting and firstaid while also maintaining efficiency intheir specific job onboard the subma-rine.

Torpedoman 2nd Class Jeremiah Hill,previously an NMCB 4 builder, provideda tour that put into perspective the differ-ences in the lifestyles and careers betweena Seabee in a construction battalion anda Sailor onboard a submarine.

It was truly a unique experience to stepinto the life of Submariner, even if onlyfor a few moments, said Builder 1st ClassMichael Munninger. The life they live isvery difficult.

Hill said he enjoyed seeing his old ship-

mates.I [am] proud to show them all the newthings Ive learned, he said.

A crew of seven Seabees from NavalMobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)3 is making headway on construction ofa new 2,160-square-foot management fa-cility at Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Point Mugus small-arms

range.The $487,000 project started at the endof July with Seabees tearing down the oldstructure to begin building the new facil-ity that will allow range managers andvisiting commands a quality place to pro-vide instruction and evaluate troops.

In addition to providing NBVC with anew facility, the project allows NMCB 3sconstruction veterans the chance to pro-

vide training to junior Seabees fresh fromtheir primary construction schools andstill craving new skills.

My guys are always hungry for workand come to the project each day ready tohit it, said Builder 1st Class BrandonHoekstra, the project supervisor. We hitroadblocks at every project, and the train-

ing we are able to provide as a result issolid.Construction projects completed during

homeport allow Seabees to learn, practiceand perfect skills required for conductinghumanitarian assistance and disaster reliefmissions when operating forward.

My Seabees are building skill sets thatwill set them up for a real positive deploy-ment, Hoekstra said.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCar thy of California, center, and U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstineof Oklahoma, right, receive a community and safety brief from Cmdr. Matthew J. Duffy,commanding officer of the Golden Hawks of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron(VAW) 112, before their flight in an E-2C Hawkeye. The Golden Hawks are stationed atNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu and are entering a critical phase of work-ups to support Carrier Air Wing 9.

By Lt. j.g. Daniel J. McGourtyVAW-112 Public Affairs

Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squad-ron (VAW) 112 recently hosted two mem-bers of the U.S. House of Representativesfor a capabilities and demonstration flightin an E-2C Hawkeye at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.

U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy of the 23rdDistrict of California, the House Major-ity Leader, became the most senior govern-ment official to fly in the E-2C.

U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstine of the 1stDistrict of Oklahoma, a member of theHouse Armed Services Committee and aformer E-2C pilot, donned flight gear

again to see the latest updates to this ven-

erable aircraft.The congressmen flew with the VAW-112 Golden Hawks Oct. 8 in an effortto highlight the many ways the Hawkeyeacts as a force multiplier to execute criticalmissions of power projection and battle-space management.

The Hawkeye is uniquely familiar toBridenstine, who spent years at its controlsas a part of the VAW-113 Black Eaglesprior to public service.

As a former E-2C pilot, I am convincedmore than ever that the E-2C Hawkeye isthe most critical component for carrier-based power projection, Bridenstine said.As the Navy transitions to the E-2 Delta,aircraft carrier-based strike warfare willbecome even more lethal.

The distinguished visitors joined theHawkeye squadron in the early stagesof work-ups to discuss squadron op-erations, interact with Sailors and gainvital knowledge on how critical theHawkeye is in an evolving battle-space.

It was an honor to fly Leader Mc-Carthy and Congressman Bridenstine,said Cmdr. Matthew J. Duffy, com-manding officer of VAW-112. MySailors from Bakersfield and Tulsa werethrilled to meet their members of Con-gress. Most important ly, it is alwaysbeneficial for folks in Washington towitness first-hand and gain a betterunderstanding of the tremendous ca-pacity of our Navy and the amazingwork performed 24/7 by our Sailors.

The congressmen had the unique op-portunity to experience flight prepara-tions of Hawkeye aircrew. They werebriefed on the conduct of the flight andthe safety gear they would be wearingfor the duration of the sortie.

Once briefed, the congressmen wereable to put wheels in the well and goflying. While airborne, the Hawkeyeaircrew was able to demonstrate thecapabilities of the E-2C.

In addition, the Golden Hawks setup a demonstration of aircraft carrier

operations for the congressmen.Through the execution of Field Car-rier Landing Practice (FCLP), theguests were able to visualize the carrierlanding pattern versus that of a normalrunway and listen to a Landing SignalsOfficer (LSO) guide them into touch-down.

The Golden Hawks are a componentof Carrier Air Wing 9 assigned to Com-mander, Strike Group 3, which includesthe carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74). They are beginning the pre-deploy-ment work-up cycle in preparation fordeployment sometime next fall.

The E-2 Hawkeye provides all-weath-er aircraft carrier-based airborne earlywarning and battle-space command andcontrol services to operational com-manders at home and abroad.

while conducting field training exercise atFort Hunter Liggett.

Amphibious Construction Battalion(ACB) 1 demonstrated offload of cargoand amphibious landings with the Im-proved Navy Landing System (INLS) dur-ing Exercise Pacific Horizon 2015 at CampPendleton.

It opened up awareness among the staffon the possibilities of how to enhance thecapabilities of the Seabees and how it canbest be applied to amphibious operationsand support the Marines, and of courseother aspects that will further improve thefunctions of the Seabees, Capt. BenitoAnte, director, Philippines Naval SafetyOffice, said of the exercise.

The visit saw its beginnings in 2012, dur-ing travels by Capt. Rodney Moore, formercommanding officer of 30th NCR. Ante,brigade operations officer at the time, ex-pressed an interest to Moore in continuingprevious exchanges that occurred betweenthe two engineering forces in 2004 and2009.

During [Exercise] Balikatan it is usu-ally the enlisted men who engage the U.S.enlisted men, said Ante. But, when of-ficers are able to engage the staff, it en-hances coordination, (and) will facilitateand expedite collaboration during bilat-eral activities.

Exercise Balikatan, meaning shoulder-to-shoulder in Tagalog, is an annual bi-lateral exercise involving members of theAFP and U.S. armed forces. Its goals aredeveloping crisis action planning, training,promoting interoperability and conducting

joint humanitarian and disaster relief proj-ects.

Beyond Balikatan, however, 30th NCR

has a presence in the Philippines yearround, with currently ongoing schoolhouseand Philippines Department of Social Wel-fare and Development building projects onthe island of Cebu, among others.

The Philippines is a critical country forour strategic importance, and we want tocontinue our key leader engagements sothat when we operate in that theater wehave a great working relationship, saidCmdr. Roberto Alvarado, chief staff of-ficer of 30th NCR.

Both Alvarado and Ante characterizedthe relationship between U.S. and FilipinoSeabees as strong, amicable and very opento discussion.

What a lovely pin a woman com-mented while Marge stood in the Navycommissary checkout line. Where coulda person get one like it? That shade ofpurple has always been one of my favor-ite colors, and its really very nice.

Marge shook her head sadly.Oh, my dear, you dont ever want to

have a pin like this. A person has to givetheir life in service to our nation. My hus-band, Tom, was killed in Afghanistan,and this was presented to me and each ofour three children at his memorial ser-vice.

The young woman in line could barelychoke out a muted, Im so sorry for ask-ing. I only meant it as a compliment.Please forgive me for being so sonosy.

Marge reached her long arms aroundthe young woman, squeezed her tight, andwhispered in her ear, Its all right. Youdidnt know.

Would you have known?The Navy has distinct worlds that co-exist: active duty, veterans who faithfully

served their time, 20-plus-year retirees,Navy Reservists and, now, Navy GoldStar Families: fathers, mothers, husbands,wives, sons, daughters.

Gold Star Families are survivors offallen Sailors who prematurely passedthrough combat, disease, suicide or ac-cident.

Gold Star pins tangibly remind us of a

service members ultimate sacrifice. Theyhonor the fallen and their surviving fam-ily members. And, Gold Star pins draw

our attention to our unspoken covenantto keep the promise to be a Navy familyforever.

In late 2013, Navy bases worldwide be-gan to remember our fallen Sailors byerecting signs designating Gold Star Fam-ily parking spots near medical facilities,the Navy Exchange, the Commissary andthe Fleet & Family Support Center. Youmay have seen them.

Oct. 1 of this year marked the rolloutof the new Navy Gold Star Program. Co-ordinators throughout the Navy worldpossess a mandate from the president tofully support Gold Star Family membersas long as they desire with information,referrals, financial counseling, benefitsand entitlements. Coordinators also hostannual special events to honor and cel-ebrate the lost lives of those who wore aNavy uniform.

While American freedom is often takenfor granted, our countrys freedom comes

at a great and heavy price that Navy GoldStar Families fully understand.Heres how you may help honor Gold

Star Families: Pass the word about the Navy GoldStar Program.

If you see a Gold Star pin worn by aGold Star Family member on or off base,greet the family member, thank them,bless them, honor them.

If you have an opportunity to engagea Gold Star Family member in conversa-tion, let them share their story withyou.

Use their fallen service membersname. You esteem them.

Withness is important! Compassionand an appropriate hug are also signifi-cant!

This year marks the genesis of greaterpersonal care for surviving Navy GoldStar Family members. The memory oftheir heroic fallen service member will behonored and so will they. They are notalone, and theyre never forgotten!

Shaun Davy is the Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) coordinator of the Navy GoldStar program.

To cut down on water waste, putan inch or two of sand or pebbles

inside each of two plastic bottles toweigh them down, then fill the bot-tles with water, screw the lids on andput them in your toilet tank, safelyaway from the operating mecha-nisms. This may save 10 or moregallons of water per day. Be sure atleast 3 gallons of water remain inthe tank so it will flush properly.

If there is not enough water to geta proper flush, users will hold thelever down too long or do multipleflushes to get rid of waste. Buy anadjustable toilet flapper that allowsfor adjustment of per-flush use. For more information on theseand other water- and energy-savingideas, contact A.

Cases involving base access for officialmilitary and civilian work-related reasonsare usually handled via the tenant com-mands foreign national security manag-ers.

NBVC defines FNs as individuals 18

and older who are not U.S. citizens or,regardless of citizenship, are representinga foreign government, corporation or en-tity or an FN doing business with a De-partment of Defense component or con-tractor. This includes companiesincorporated in the United States but un-der foreign ownership, control or influ-ence. Legal permanent residents with law-ful permanent resident cards are notconsidered FNs.

Once on base, unofficial FNs must beescorted at all times around the installa-tion.

Around the holidays, FN-related issues

mostly involve unofficial visits. Approxi-mately two dozen cases occur each seasonwhere FNs try to gain access withoutproper authorization. This is generally at-tributable to someone with base accesstrying to come aboard with a friend orfamily member who is an FN withoutprior authorization.

John Johnson of the Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division (NAWCWD) was recently hon-ored for his willingness to go above and beyond thecall of duty to support the warfighter by trainingAV-8B aircrew, ordnance personnel, aircraft main-tainers and mission planners on the Intrepid TigerII (IT II) Airborne Electronic Attack System.

During a special recognition ceremony Oct. 7 at

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu,Scott ONeil, the executive director of NAWCWD,cited Johnsons support to the Marines as over thetop.

Johnson, who has deployed to conduct overseas

IT II efforts two to three times a year from threeweeks to three months at a stretch said, I didnt

join the government to deploy, but it turns out thishas been the most rewarding part of my job.

He trained the 15th and 22nd Marine Expedition-ary Unit (MEU) detachments aboard USS Peleliu(LHA-5) and USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) as well asexpeditionary strike group and MEU personnel for

afloat and ashore operations.This is where NAWCWD shines, ONeil said.We not only provide the warfighter with new tech-nology but we also make sure they are trained touse it properly.
