There’s still time to get help
preparing state and federal in-
come taxes before Tax Day, Mon-
day, April 15. The tax center at
Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, closes at noon Satur-
day, April 13.
Since its Jan. 30 opening, the
center has helped active duty
military personnel and retirees
process nearly 700 returns, result-
ing in $890,000 in federal refunds
and nearly $95,000 in state re-
funds.
“Overall, I’m extremely ecstat-
ic about the year,” said Sal Gon-
zales, the legal assistance clerk at
the Region Legal Service Office,
Detachment Ventura, who has
coordinated the tax center on
base since 2002.
Gonzales walked into this
year’s tax season with doubts. For
the first time, the center is self-
service, meaning people sit down
at one of seven laptops and pre-
pare the returns themselves. Rov-
ing volunteers can answer ques-
tions, but they no longer sit down

Even before it reopened Tues-
day, April 2, the Warfield Gym
at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme was get-
ting rave reviews.
“It looks great!”said Construc-
tion Mechanic 3rd Class Matt
Gonzalez, a Reservist with Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion
27 who sawan open door the Fri-
day before the gym opened and
wandered in, hoping for a work-
out.
He’d last used the Warfield
three years ago when he was at-
tending A-school at the Naval
Construction Training Center
and didn’t realize it had been
closed for a $2.1 million renova-
tion.
“It looks a lot nicer,” he said,
and he’d only gotten a peek at the
massive weight roombefore being
shooed out and told to return
Tuesday.
Since closing 15 months ago,
the Warfield has gained a mez-
zanine above the weight room
that’s filled with new, state-of-the-
Warfield gym reopens to rave reviews

Question: I just renewed my car sticker
and was surprised at the insistence to use
my Social Security number. My command
and others I work with have made aggressive
changes to comply with the PII (personally
identifable information) policy directives, in-
cluding the elimination of using Social Secu-
rity numbers unless it in connection with the
Social Security Offce. I ask that you please
inquire as to why the CAC (computer access
card) number and driver’s license number
also requested cannot be used instead.
Answer: The Department of the Navy has
been aggressive about eliminating the use of
Social Security numbers in our daily opera-
tions. We’ve started a phased approach, di-
rected by the chief information offcer, as you
noted. However, agencies outside the federal
government, particularly law enforcement
agencies, have not made the move away from
using the Social Security number as a cross-
database identifer. Anytime we must rely on
law enforcement databases during vehicle
registration and/or background checks for
base access, Social Security numbers are
required.
Thank you for your understanding.

VAW-112
The Golden Hawks of Carrier Airborne
Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 112 from
Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,
are no strangers to deployment.
Supporting operations in 7th and 5th
Fleet areas of responsibility for the second
time in two years, VAW-112 flewmore than
1,500 mishap-free flight hours and more
than 500 sorties in support of Operations
Enduring Freedomand Spartan Shield, as
well as other operations.
During this time, VAW-112 Sailors —
along with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9, the
USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) and the
Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 3 team —
achievedsignificant personal andsquadron
milestones.
To start with, for the entire 2012-2013
surge cruise, VAW-112 pilots were consis-
tently some of the safest and proved to be
among the best aviators in the air wing.
Carrier naval aviators are graded on each
landing they perform on the ship, and cri-
teria include pattern discipline, landing
technique andboarding rate – whether they
land first pass or not. Cmdr. Evan “Sheik”
Morrison, Lt. Cmdr. Ryan “Mouth”
Carstens, Lt. John “Chimpo” O’Neill, Lt.
Cmdr. Gregg “Shaggy” Sweeney and Lt.
Mike “Extreme” Tem were among the air
wing’s top pilots, with some of the highest
landing grades during deployment.
In addition, O’Neill and Lt. Joseph
“Boomhauer”Breeden earned their Wing
Landing Signal Officer qualifications.
In another personal milestone, Cmdr.
Aaron Brodsky flew his 3,000th hour in
the E-2C Hawkeye on Feb. 20 while sup-
porting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Brodsky’s milestone is the culmination of
flights flown since 1996, quarterbacking
such missions as counter-narcotics opera-
tions over the Caribbean and numerous
5th and 7th Fleet operations and exercises.
He has taken part in Exercises Talisman
Saber and Northern Edge and in Opera-
tions Southern Watch, Desert Fox, Iraqi
Freedom, Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom,
New Dawn and, most recently, Spartan
Shield.
Other personal milestones include Lt.
Cmdr. Jonathan “Petey”Shepard reaching
his 2,000-hour mark, and Lt. Cmdr. Mi-
chelle “Dingo”Kemp and Breeden reach-
ing their 1,000-hour mark.
These accomplishments are significant
giventhis newera of continuing resolutions
and reduced operational flight hours.
Squadron Sailors focused on earning the
Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist
(EAWS) and Enlisted Surface Warfare
Specialist (ESWS) designations. Earning
these specialist designations requires
months of hands-ontraining, studying and
demonstrating proficiency in a variety of
shipboard and aviation operations.
The EAWS designation requires Sailors
to have a thorough understanding of flight
operations aboard the carrier and to dem-
onstrate their acquired knowledge through
a series of writtenandverbal examinations.
Upon completion of the EAWS syllabus,
they are awarded the coveted set of EAWS
wings —eachpinflownonanE-2CHawk-
eye in support of an Airborne Early Warn-
ing Command and Control mission. The
ESWS designation, like the EAWS, also
requires months of intense hands-on train-
ing, studying and a series of both written
and verbal exams, but covering surface
warfare operations.
Additionally, to earn the ESWS designa-
tion, Sailors must qualify in basic ship-
board damage control.
VAW-112 topped more than 80 percent
qualified EAWS Sailors and more than 35
percent qualified ESWS — better than
Navy averages for aviation commands —
earning the squadron the right to fly the
EAWS pennant.
VAW-112’s enlisted advancement rates
also exceed Navy averages at better than
50 percent advancement for E-4, E-5 and
E-6 promotions over three cycles; Navy
advancement average is approximately 36
percent for E-4, E-5 and E-6.
“The Golden Hawks’ above-average
EAWS and ESWS numbers and stellar
advancement rates denote the high level of
proficiency and knowledge across all re-
spective rates and represent the initiative,
effort and care VAW-112 puts into develop-
ing its greatest resource, their Sailors,”said
Brodsky, the commanding officer of the
squadron.
The capstone milestone came in Febru-
ary, when VAW-112 was presented the
coveted Battle Efficiency (Battle “E”) for
its operational excellence. The Battle “E”
is the Navy’s top performance award and
is presented to operational units that excel
in combat and personal readiness, profi-
ciency and overall efficiency.
“Competing against all West Coast
Hawkeye squadrons, VAW-112 was award-
ed this honor for more than just aircrew
tactical performance,” Brodsky said. “It
was the combined dedication of all VAW-
112 Sailors across all departments perform-
ing their function with high morale and
doing it by the book.”
With exceptional qualification and ad-
vancement rates, high morale, mission ac-
complishment and family support of the
past two years, the Golden Hawks look
forward to some downtime and rest in
Point Mugu upon their return to home-
port.

In 1986, April was designated as the
Month of the Military Child, a time when
each branch of the military recognizes the
sacrifices made by the children of parents
who are serving our country.
Here at Naval Base Ventura County,
military childrenare important year-round,
and there are many programs and services
in place to support them. The month of
April allows us tohighlight these many pro-
grams.
Child Development Centers, Child De-
velopment Homes and Youth Centers are
available for children of all ages. These pro-
grams provide child care and enriching ac-
tivities for military-connectedchildren, ages
6 weeks through 18 years. All the centers
are accreditedby national accrediting agen-
cies and offer high-quality programs.
The Youth Centers provide care for ele-
mentary school-age childrenandcater their
schedule to the local schools’ schedules.
With either a “walking” bus or an actual
bus, children can be taken safely from the
doorstep of the Youth Center to the steps
of their school.
When teens no longer need child care,
they still need a safe place to “hang out”
and meet other teens. CYP teen programs
provide highlyinteractive teenrooms catered
to the interests of the teens in their pro-
grams.
Best of all, teens who are newto the area
—or maybe haven’t even arrived yet —can
connect withteens whoare alreadyhere and
familiar with the area through the Navy
Youth Sponsorship Program.
Teens who are interested in going to col-
lege can participate in a monthly College
Bound program at the Teen Centers.
Surf lessons, swimteam, basketball, soc-
cer and track and field are just a fewof the
offerings of the NBVC Youth Sports pro-
gram. This programallows children to find
true enjoyment insports andfitness ina safe
environment while also learning the funda-
mentals of teamwork and fair competi-
tion.
Even prior to birth, military children are
takencare of at the Fleet &Family Support
Center (FFSC). Through the New Parent
Support Program, expectant parents can
find support, knowledge and resources.
Once the baby arrives, a new spectrum of
questions andconcerns may arise, andNew
Parent Support will be there to lead the
parents to the resources and help they
need.
General parenting classes, step-parenting
classes and support for families with excep-
tional family members lead into another
area of support for military children at the
FFSC. When parents seek support and
knowledge, their children benefit.
The NBVC school liaison officer (SLO)
is also available to families with any educa-
tion-related questions. The SLO can assist
families in finding educational resources
such as free online tutoring. Also, the SLO
can guide parents when making a school-
related decision. Every school systemis dif-
ferent; the NBVC SLO is the person to go
to with questions regarding local schools.
During the month of April, installations
worldwide will plan events and offer op-
portunities toshowappreciationtomilitary
children.
It is estimated that there are more than 1
million children who have at least one par-
ent serving in active duty. Here in Ventura
County, it is estimated that there are nearly
5,000 children who are military connect-
ed.
To show appreciation to those children,
a Kids Day event is planned for April 27,
from10a.m. tonoonat NBVCPoint Mugu.
For more information, see the April 18 issue
of The Lighthouse.
Please take time this month to recognize
andappreciate the military childinyour life.
Their support, sacrifices and contributions
are essential to a healthy military family.
— For more information regarding local Month
of the Military Child events or any school issues,
please contact the NBVC school liaison officer
by calling 805-989-5211 or 805-207-3410 or

One of the catch phrases that has en-
tered our pop culture’s lexicon is the term
“bucket list.” To paraphrase from an on-
line urban dictionary, it’s a list of things
you want to do before you die. It was
popularized by a Rob Reiner movie called
“The Bucket List,” in which two termi-
nally ill men — played wonderfully by
Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson
— go on a road trip to experience all the
things they want to do before they die.
Typically, this list involves something
that is fun or exciting. In the movie, one
of them dreamed of driving a sports car
around a track, while his buddy wanted
to do a safari in Africa.
You get the idea.
Let me suggest a bucket list item that
most people would never even think of. It
doesn’t cost a cent, nor do you have to
drive someplace really far away to do this.
I guarantee that if you try this even one
time, you will be moved in your heart and
you might even shed a tear or two of pure
joy.
I amtalking about volunteering to serve
food to the hungry or the homeless at a
shelter.
The first time I did this was when my
friends in college talked me into taking a
Friday night and serving food to the needy
in Berkeley. Like many who had not done
this before, I had my personal apprehen-
sions. By the end of the evening, I came
away from the event with a tremendous
sense of gratitude and perspective that I
did not have earlier that evening.
Frankly, that evening was a gift from
God to me. My experience that night
broke the bubble of school exams, football
games and fraternity life.
I spoke to people whom I would nor-
mally never have noticed, whom I would
have simply driven past. I was shocked
when I heard them share with me their
pain, mistakes and wisdom.
Most people in hard times only want to
work their way out of a mess if they can.
With our current tough economic times,
sadly, there are families with children in
tow as they claw their way back to some
semblance of their old life.
As I have gotten older, one of the most
important things I have learned is, “There
but for the grace of God go I”—meaning,
if it wasn’t for the mercy of God in my
life, I could be in the same situation or
worse.
The flip side of this spiritual lesson is
this: If you have experienced the grace of
God in your life, pass it on to someone
who needs it badly.
Please take time this coming year to
volunteer to serve someone who is less
fortunate than yourself. I guarantee you
will get more in return than what you give
to someone else. God bless you!
Here’s something rewarding to add to your ‘bucket list’

Lt. Riley Smith, an instructor
at the Civil Engineer Corps Of-
ficers School (CECOS) at Naval
Base Ventura County, Port Hue-
neme, has been honored as the
Naval Education and Training
Command (NETC) 2012 Officer
Instructor of the Year (IOY).
The award ceremony was held
Feb. 28 at the National Naval
Aviation Museum on board Na-
val Air Station Pensacola.
Capt. Kevin Brown, command-
ing officer of the Center for Sea-
bees and Facilities Engineering
(CSFE) and CECOS, had high
praise for the award-winner.
“Lt. Smith has performed bril-
liantly in the execution of his du-
ties as an instructor and mentor,”
Brown said. “He has had a posi-
tive and creative influence on all
newCivil Engineer Corps officers
he has touched. He adroitly uses
all his tools and neutralizes his
weaknesses to be the most effec-
tive instructor delivering the high-
est quality training possible.
Earning the distinct honor of
NETC’s Officer IOY is a testa-
ment to his infallible work ethic
and deep devotion to CECOS’
mission.”
Smith said he was humbled at
being selected for the award.
“Although I’ve worked hard for
my students, most of whom are
newly commissioned Civil Engi-
neer Corps officers preparing for
their first naval assignment, I’ve
felt there was always more to be
done,” he said.
“In our 21st century Navy,
where personnel are expected to
accomplish critical missions in
challenging environments despite
limited resources, we can’t afford
anything less than having the very
best Sailors and Marines as in-
structors. The risk to mission ac-
complishment is too great to
choose any other path.”
Smith is the director for the
CECOS Basic Course and assis-
tant course director for the Naval
Construction Force Operations
Basic Course. He has been teach-
ing students for almost two years
at CECOS and suggests to those
considering instructor duty, or
wanting to make a difference, to
remember the importance of that
role.
“I start each class with a dash
of motivation, a personal story
which relates to both the topic at
hand and the duties of students’
future assignments, and use the
depth of my personal knowledge
to impress upon students the im-
portance of the topic to their
professional success,” Smith ex-
plained.
Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Jordan, director
of the CECOS Seabee Readiness
Division and Smith’s supervisor,
called Smith a “phenomenal in-
structor.”
“He is down to earth, and he
relates to students through his
personal experience,”Jordan said.
“He is technically and tactically
sound in his instruction and de-
livery.”
Whenaskedwhat makes a good
leader, Smith replied, “Integrity
in word and deed is the founda-
tion of leadership and mentor-
ship. People must trust you will
follow through every time, re-
gardless of circumstances. Oth-
erwise anything you say or do is
suspect and thus lacking meaning
or impact.”

Students and staff from the 254th Civ-
il Engineer Corps Officers School (CE-
COS) Basic Course recently participated
in a weeklong, scenario-driven field train-
ing exercise (FTX) at Fort Hunter Liggett
in Central California.
The FTXis the culminating event in this
course that is designed to give newly se-
lected Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) officers
an in-depth look at what it takes to be-
come leaders in the field.
Class officer in charge, Lt. Josh Turner,
described the training.
“FTX simulates an unimproved terrain
in hostile territory where our job is to pro-
vide construction support with limited
resources,” he said. “FTX requires us to
conduct operations all up and down the
chain of command. The experience famil-
iarizes us with what our subordinates will
be doing when we give orders and what
our superiors are looking for when we
receive tasking.”
The FTX is preceded by one week of
instructor-led training in the classroom.
It provides the practical training portion
of the course where students apply what
they have learned and work to improve
their leadership skills.
Michele Osborne, who has developed
curriculum for CECOS courses for six
years, said the exercise puts students into
a real-life tactical situation.
“They are challenged to think on their
feet,”she said, “and they apply the leader-
ship skills they have learned in a controlled
environment.”
Ensign Mallory Smith, a student from
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3, said communication is key.
“One thing I want to focus on when I
join my unit is to ensure everyone in the
COC (Command Operations Center)
knows what is going on. It was very im-
portant to communicate on patrols and
let the officers back in the COCknowwhat
you see.”
Ensign Nick Lacour, a student from
NMCB 133, concurred.
“Knowing the importance of effective
communication in the COCand recogniz-
ing message priority based on urgency will
help me when I head to battalion,”Lacour
said.
The Basic Course director, Lt. Riley
Smith, enjoys seeing the students in action.
He believes the competitive aspect of FTX
increases the students’ effectiveness in the
field.
“It’s always gratifying to watch each
CECOS class transform from a team of
individuals to an individual team,”he said.
Nothing hastens that process more than
a little shared adversity — FTX, in this
case.”
CECOS provides classroominstruction
and hands-on training on the roles and
responsibilities of Navy CECofficers. The
seven-week Basic Course focuses on of-
ficer competencies, military training, fa-
cilities management and construction
project management. Additional training
is provided specific to members’ first duty
stations and on the fundamentals of gov-
ernment contracting.
Members of this class will graduate May
10.

NSWC PHD
During an official ceremony
March 27 at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme, Capt.
Burt Espe relieved Capt. William
DeBow as commander of Naval
Surface Warfare Center Port
Hueneme Division (NSWC
PHD).
Guest speaker Rear Adm. (sel.)
Lawrence Creevy, NSWC com-
mander, took the opportunity
during his speech to highlight
DeBow’s legacy and personally
thank him.
“The NSWC Port Hueneme
team, NAVSEA, the Navy and
our nation thank you for your
hard work and tireless dedica-
tion,”said Creevy. “More impor-
tantly, your genuine compassion
for the men and women under
your command reflect true lead-
ership.”
Afterward, DeBow thanked
Port Hueneme Division workers
for their solid contributions to the
fleet throughout his tour of
duty.
“All of you play a part in mak-
ing Port Hueneme number one
in fleet support,” he said. “Your
dedication to providing optimal
support maintenance to our Sail-
ors is what keeps this command
at the forefront of excellence, en-
suring continued success and the
success of our Navy for years to
come.”
Espe also took a moment to
praise the workforce and express
his excitement at taking charge
of a great command.
“I’mstepping into a command
that truly has proven its value to
the fleet over many years,” said
Espe. “I am looking forward to
serving with each and every one
of you here at the warfare center,
so we can continue to provide the
very best to our Sailors — the
warfighters who are out there
vigilantly protecting our freedom
and security.”
DeBow assumed command of
the Port Hueneme Division in
December 2010 and recently re-
ceived orders to serve as deputy
program manager for the Navy
Yard’s Naval Explosive Ordnance
Disposal Technology Division in
Washington, D.C.
Under DeBow’s leadership, the
Port Hueneme Division accom-
plished several monumental
achievements, some of which in-
clude testing of the Maritime
Laser Demonstrator aboard the
command’s Self Defense Test
Ship (SDTS), validating the po-
tential to use high-energy lasers
as an integrated weapon system.
The SDTS also played a major
role in the largest shipboard al-
ternative fuel demonstration, pav-
ing the way towards creating a
more green and sustainable fleet.
Additionally, Port Hueneme re-
ceived recognition by the David
Packard Excellence in Acquisi-
tion Award for being the Depart-
ment of Defense’s most cost-ef-
ficient ballistic targets program
for the Aegis Readiness Assess-
ment Vehicle.
Prior to coming to Port Huen-
eme, Espe served as the Modern-
ization Principal Integration
Platform Manager in the Ship
Integration Program Office for
the Program Executive Officer,
Command, Control, Communi-
cations, Computers and Intelli-
gence in San Diego.
A resident of Bonita, Calif.,
Espe graduated from the U.S.
Naval Academy in 1987 with a
bachelor’s degree in aerospace
engineering and joined the active
fleet in the surface warfare com-
munity. After serving several sea
tours, he attended Naval Post
Graduate School in 1995, where
he earned a master’s degree in
electrical engineering. His per-
sonal decorations include four
Meritorious Service Medals, four
Navy Commendation Medals
and the Navy Achievement Med-
al, as well as various unit and
service awards.

Capt. Todd M. Watkins re-
lieved Capt. MatthewW. Dane-
hy as commodore of Com-
mander Airborne Command
Control and Logistics Wing
(COMACCLOGWING) in a
Thursday, March 21, ceremony
at Hawkeye Country, Hangar
553, on board Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Point Mugu.
Vice Adm. DavidH. Buss was
the guest speaker for the occa-
sion.
As commodore of the Navy’s
sole E-2C Hawkeye and C-2A
Greyhound “Type Wing,”
Danehy managed 104 E-2 and
C-2 aircraft operating out of
Point Mugu, Naval Station
Norfolk in Virginia, Naval Air
Station North Island in San
Diego, Naval Air Facility Atsu-
gi in Japan, and off the flight
decks of every aircraft carrier
around the world.
During Danehy’s tenure as
commodore, these squadrons
completed more than 70,000
flight hours, providing direct
support for combat operations
in both Iraq and Afghanistan
and humanitarian relief efforts
for disaster victims in Japan.
Under Danehy’s leadership,
the Hawkeye and Greyhound
fleet is making significant tech-
nological advances, including
integration of “From the Air”
and “From the Sea” Naval In-
tegrated Fire Control-Counter
Air (NIFC-CA) capabilities.
Danehy forged interimand per-
manent training systems that
will link the disparate advanced
capabilities of the Advanced
Hawkeye, Aegis and Hornet
weapons systems, enabling
NIFC-CAto come online years
ahead of the original forecast.
Watkins has served as deputy
commander of COMAC-
CLOGWING for the past 19
months. Prior to that, he served
as the commanding officer of
Carrier Airborne Command
and Control Squadron (VAW)
120, the E-2 and C-2 fleet re-
placement squadron, after fin-
ishing a tour as a staff officer at
Headquarters United States
European Command in Stutt-
gart, Germany. In Stuttgart,
Watkins worked as the Office
of Defense Cooperation Sup-
port branch chief and then as
director of the deputy com-
mander’s action group.
Capt. Donald“Drew”Basden
has assumed the position of
deputy commodore. He comes
to Point Mugu after serving at
the Pentagon as the U.S. Navy
military assistant in the Imme-
diate Office of the Secretary of
Defense since July 2010. Prior
to that, he served as the com-
manding officer of the “Grey-
hawks” of VAW-120 in Nor-
folk.

VAW-117
Carrier Airborne Command
and Control Squadron (VAW)
117 recently received the Safety
S Award, a quarterly award giv-
en by Commander Airborne
Command Control and Logistics
Wing.
The Safety S identifies and rec-
ognizes squadrons that have
taken the lead in aviation,
ground, on-duty and off-duty
safety.
At a recent morning meeting
at Naval Air Station Fallon in
Nevada, Cmdr. William Reed,
the commanding officer of the
squadron, addressed his own
pride in his Sailors’ decision-
making.
“We’re making strong, safe de-
cisions,” he said, referring to the
recent cancellation of two flights
for safety. “We have people who
aren’t afraid to speak up and ex-
press their concerns. When we do
this, we take care of ourselves
and our family. This is good.”
The “Wallbangers” of VAW-
117 were acknowledged as lead-
ers within the community be-
cause of their ability to make
difficult decisions and sacrifices
through established safety pro-
grams, training and operational
risk management, thereby ensur-
ing safe evolutions.
Commitments to safety extend
beyond wearing the prescribed
personal protection equipment
(PPE) during maintenance evolu-
tions and include sound decision-
making when off-duty. As a re-
sult, the Wallbangers experienced
zero liberty incidents during the
holiday leave period.
“To be responsible and safe
takes work,” Command Master
Chief Franklin “Spike”Call said
in addressing the squadron at the
year’s first all hands meeting.
“You guys worked hard up until
leave, and then you worked hard
to rest in a safe way. I’mso thank-
ful and proud that we’re making
the right decisions. This is how
we take care of each other.”

When your job is to blow things up
underwater, it’s not hard to keep the at-
tention of a classroom full of eighth-
graders on Career Day.
But when your job is to test the qual-
ity of drinking water, you’ve got a tough
task ahead of you.
Nora Reyes of the Public Works De-
partment’s Environmental Division at
Naval Base Ventura County was up to
the challenge, bringing an entertaining
video to enhance her presentation at the
March 22 event at Ocean View Junior
High School in Oxnard.
“She’s terrific!” teacher Ying Yaw said
as the students switched classrooms for
a second presentation.
More than a dozen people who work
at the base — from engineers to Seabees
— talked for about half an hour to two
different classes about their careers.
More importantly for this audience of
young teens, they talked about the edu-
cation they needed to get those jobs and
the importance of staying focused as
they enter high school.
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class
Trevor Buckett of Underwater Con-
struction Team 2 had the rapt attention
of about 40 students as he described his
months of training for a career in un-
derwater demolition and construc-
tion.
“It’s fun, dangerous stuff,” he said.
“You need to know a lot of math and
science to do it.”
Buckett, who’s currently enrolled in
a public speaking class as he works to-
ward a degree in public health, kept the
students entertained with stories of
sharks and scorpion fish, of mapping
the ocean floor and of traveling to 29
different countries. He peppered his talk
with terms like “Pascal’s law” and “the
Monroe effect,” then told about the time
he was startled by a moray eel.
“They have gnarly teeth,” he told the
students.
“You never know what’s down there,”
he added. “Off Cuba, there was 300 feet
of visibility. But in other places, you
can’t see your hand in front of your face
because it’s so muddy and dark.”
He also gave them some practical ad-
vice about next year.
“Keep your heads in the game,” he
told them. “In high school, you’ll find
there are a lot of outside interests that
can distract you. Don’t get into trouble.
Stay active and healthy. Enjoy your-
self!”
Reyes, who sprinkled some Spanish
into her presentation, talked not only
about her career, but also about some
of the obstacles she faced getting there,
including being a woman in a male-
dominated field.
“Girls,” she said, “feel empowered!”
A graduate of Pepperdine University,
she stressed the importance of higher
education and of finding ways to make
learning — and life — fun and reward-
ing. She used funny animal videos to
teach lessons ranging from “there’s al-
ways a bigger fish” to the benefits of
taking a leap of faith.
Other presenters from the base in-
cluded electrical engineers, pharmacists,
information technology specialists and
civil engineers and a defensive space
control officer from the Naval Satellite
Operations Center.
Eighth-grade English teacher Michelle
Grue said she appreciated the talks by
all three dozen professionals who vis-
ited the school that day.
“Career Day is a great idea at this
grade level,” she said. “It gives them
something to shoot for.”
Eighth-graders learn about careers in Navy

cient military bases, and it greatly im-
pacts our county’s economic well-be-
ing,” Stenslie said. “Having the base
represented on our board provides us
with full representation of industry sec-
tors. We welcome Capt. Sasek and
value his commitment to our board.”

BESKOUL, Cameroon — Service
members from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 4 are working
alongside and training soldiers from Bat-
talion d’Intervention Rapide (BIR) in
Beskoul, Cameroon, as they help build a
medical clinic for the residents.
There are many milestones in any con-
struction project, but erecting the first
wall is always an indicator of progress.
“As the partners erected the first wall
of the clinic on the island, there was not
only progress but a great feeling of ca-
maraderie and respect for the BIR sol-
diers,” said Lt. j.g. Henry Lovett, officer
in charge of NMCB 4’s detachment to
Cameroon. “On a daily basis the BIR
soldiers assist the Seabees in loading ma-
terials onto their rigid-hull inflatable
boats, transport them 45 minutes to the
island of Beskoul and provide security
during construction.”
In addition to offering relief and aid
to the people, the Seabees have been
given the opportunity to teach basic con-
struction and building techniques to the
BIR soldiers and the islanders of Beskoul
and Youhme. Passing on this knowledge
will allow the villagers to make much
needed improvements to their homes and
village.
As part of the partnership the BIR
soldiers also assisted in the construction
of the clinic.
Engineering Aide 3rd Class Tyler
Bethke took this as an opportunity to
pass on his extensive knowledge and ex-
perience in structural building.
After showing the BIR soldiers how to
read building plans, Bethke taught them
how to measure, cut and construct truss-
es.
As a project reaches completion, one
of the challenges is to determine how to
best use excess material. The clinic is lo-
cated next to the village school, and the
children of the school were curiously
watching the Seabees during every phase
of the construction. Because of this, the
Seabees decided to see what they could
build for the school children.
During the school day, children walk
around to the back of the school house
to use the restroom. Unfortunately, it is
located in a low area where the ground
is usually saturated and muddy, and some
of the children don’t have shoes to wear.
This was an excellent opportunity to use
the scrap wood for the benefit of the chil-
dren. A boardwalk was constructed for
the school.
This Africa Partnership Station mis-
sion and the partnership between the U.S.
Navy and the Cameroonian BIR is de-
signed to strengthen the relationship be-
tween the U.S. and Cameroon.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4 learn from a local fisherman how to
crack and eat fresh coconut in the Cameroonian island village of Youhme. Detail Cameroon
arrived March 6 and was met by nearly everyone in that village and neighboring Beskoul.
The Seabees are there to help build a medical clinic on the island.

After spending six months studying the ups,
downs, ins and outs of photography, 11 chil-
dren and teens at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) have had their best works submit-
ted into a regional competition and should
know by the end of the month if they’ll move
on to a national contest in June.
“To see how far these children have ad-
vanced has been amazing,” said Chris Bate-
laan, youth director for Child Youth Pro-
grams (CYP) at NBVC Point Mugu. “That
first week we had nothing but blurred pic-
tures.”
The project began in September when
NBVC’s CYP received a $5,500 photography
grant from the Boys and Girls Clubs, made
possible by Sony. The grant supplied seven
cameras, two laptops, memory cards, software
and a $750 cash stipend to buy photo print-
ers, ink and paper.
The students enrolled in CYP’s School Age
Care and Teen Programs learned their pho-
tography skills through ImageMakers, a
photo curriculum that is part of the Boys and
Girls Club programming.
“It breaks everything down into easy steps,”
Batelaan said. “And now the pictures that are
coming out of these cameras are absolutely
phenomenal.”
She said the youngsters quickly learned the
power of odd angles, of tilting the camera,
of working with shadows and light.
The categories in the ImageMakers pho-
tography contest are Culture and Tradition,
Surroundings, Portraits and What Moves Me,
which required an essay or poem to be at-
tached. Age categories were 6 to 9, 10 to 12,
13 to 15 and 16 to 18.
A total of 96 photos were submitted for
the semi-finals. Judges for that round were
CYP Site Manager Jake Munyon, Child De-
velopment Center Site Directors Sharon
Nash and Tamara LoRay and Teen Coordi-
nator Kecia Ciccotti. They whittled the entries
down to 35, and it was up to Lt. Cmdr. Karl

By Alyce Moncourtois
NSWC PHD
The technical director of
the Naval Surface Warfare
Center Port Hueneme Di-
vision (NSWCPHD) spoke
last month to the Region-
al Defense Partnership for
the 21st Century (RDP-21)
at the Ventura County
Government Center.
RDP-21 is a group of
local government, business
and civic leaders who share
a common interest in
strengthening and elevat-
ing the value of Naval Base
Ventura County for the
Department of Defense.
The March 5 meeting
was an opportunity for
Tim Troske to present the
current and future state of
the command, providing
details on technical
achievements; the role the
command plays support-
ing the global Navy; the
important work performed
by the engineers, techni-
cians and logisticians; the
command’s impact on the
local economy; the com-
mand’s relevance to the
Sea Test Range; the busi-
ness base in terms of rev-
enue and work years and
other significant issues.
“Our intent is to give
this audience a clear pic-
ture of howour work plays
a significant role in na-
tional defense, and how we
are a major contributor to
the local economy,” Troske
said. “These are the people
who have political influ-
ence and will tell our story
in Washington.”
Troske started off the
presentation by citing the
global impact of NSWC
PHD’s engineers.
“Every day our engi-
neers are in touch with the
fleet around the globe –
that means both in person
and remotely,” he ex-
plained. “We have a world-
wide presence … on board
ships, at testing facilities
and via distance sup-
port.”
Troske pointed to met-
rics indicating that on any
given day, 38 personnel are
deployed globally, 339 of-
fer distance support, 186
handle casualty reports
and 19 are taking care of
engineering investiga-
tions.
Troske said NSWCPHD
also plays a vital role in
supporting Navy ships
when they come into port
for a combat and weapon
system assessment.
“Just in the past year, we
supported 11 ship visits
here in Port Hueneme,” he
said. “When ships visit,
they get a ‘tune-up’ of all
their equipment, and they
leave here prepared for
testing exercises, deploy-
ment or inspection.”
The concept of distance
support was discussed with
a focus on the most recent
achievement of Aegis
readiness.
“We now have a 24/7
Aegis watch where our en-
gineers are available
through chat to help Sail-
ors out at sea with prob-
lems they are experienc-
ing,” Troske said. “We’ve
been able to reduce re-
sponse time from weeks to
hours by offering this re-
mote capability, and that
reduces costs and increas-
es readiness.”
Troske talked about the
composition of the com-
mand’s workforce, explain-
ing that what the command
really offers is “intellec-
tual capital” with brain-
power and highly technical
skills.
Winding up his presen-
tation, Troske directed his
attention toward develop-
ing capabilities.
“We are currently work-
ing on the development of
a Center for Maritime Di-
rected Energy Testing in
coordination with Point
Mugu,” he said. “With la-
sers as part of our future,
this is something that
needs to happen, and we
have been pretty successful
so far.”
NSWC PHD is a field
activity of Naval Sea Sys-
tems Command and pro-
vides the global U.S. Navy
fleet with weapon system
in-service engineering, lo-
gistics, and test and evalu-
ation. The division em-
ploys more than 1,900
personnel.

Ed Pagliassotti has spent 11 years volunteering at the Retired Activities Office. The office has nine active volunteers;
more are needed to staff an office in an area that’s home to 4,600 retirees and 900 surviving spouses.
By Jim Ramey
FFSC
So, you’ve retired from the military — and possibly
a second career as well — and you realize you have
some extra time on your hands. Or maybe you are
the spouse of a retiree or possibly a surviving spouse.
The thing is, you still feel the need to give just a little
more back, but you’re not sure where to turn.
Have you thought of volunteering at the Retired
Activities Office (RAO)?
If the thought of volunteering hasn’t crossed your
mind, please take a moment and consider the follow-
ing.
The RAOis a pivotal link between military retirees,
local communities and other government and non-
government agencies. It is staffed solely by volunteers
who are primarily retired military personnel. Their
main objective is to assist other retirees, their families
and survivors of retirees.
Many times just a well-directed phone call can aid
a troubled customer in correcting a retiree’s pay is-
sue.
Or, maybe during a time of mourning, the RAO
staff can provide invaluable information on how to
process death benefits to the surviving members.
Maybe the most gratifying service the RAO offers
is comforting survivors during their most delicate
times.
Our RAO staff is well-versed in how to get to the
heart of a problem and find acceptable solutions in
minimal time.
Realizing things are always changing, the RAO
staff puts out a bimonthly newsletter covering current
topics, as well as updates on impacting legislation.
With direct oversight and support from the Fleet
and Family Support Center (FFSC), all of the tools
are in place to ensure an active and disciplined op-
eration is provided in terms of servicing the vast ar-
ray of customer’s needs. With approximately 4,600
local retirees in the area, in conjunction with an ad-
ditional 1,000 surviving spouses, there is a definite
need for sustained volunteer coverage.
Whether you can donate an hour a week or sev-
eral hours, your willingness to help staff the RAO
will be greatly appreciated. No previous experience
is required. A current RAO volunteer will oversee
your orientation and training while covering operat-
ing procedures and instructions. With several check-
lists already in place, the startup is easy to navi-
gate.
If you would like information on the RAO’s ser-
vices, or to volunteer, call 805-982-1023. We look
forward to meeting you and welcoming you into the
FFSC family.

ZAMBALES, Philippines —
Philippine and U.S. armed forces
members attached to the Joint
Civil Military Operations Task
Force (JCMOTF) broke ground
last month on a series of projects
in advance of the official start of
Exercise Balikatan 2013.
The JCMOTF is a combined
U.S.-Philippine task force in
charge of managing the human-
itarianandcivic assistance (HCA)
projects to improve the two coun-
tries’ military civic assistance
interoperability. During these
events, Armed Forces of the Phil-
ippines (AFP) and U.S. personnel
are conducting multiple medical,
dental, veterinary and engineer-
ing civic action projects in the
Zambales Province.
During this 29th iteration of
the bilateral exercise, U.S. and
Philippine units will work shoul-
der-to-shoulder to accomplish
eight engineering civic action
projects (ENCAP), six coopera-
tive health engagements (CHE),
eight community relations ac-
tivities (COMREL), five subject
matter expert exchanges (SMEE)
and two medical COMRELS.
“The amount of work we are
prepared to do as a joint team
can’t be overstated,” said Capt.
Rod Moore, commander of the
U.S. JCMOTF.
Moore is with Naval Construc-
tion Group 1, which is home-
ported at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme.
“My AFP counterpart and I
have developed a series of ac-
tivities that will both increase our
abilities to function as a teamand
will leave a lasting, positive im-
pression for the people of Zam-
bales,” Moore said. “It’s our
honor to be here, working along-
side such wonderful, profession-
al people.”
In the days leading up to the
official start of the exercise on
April 5, ground was broken on
the ENCAP construction proj-
ects. Medical and religious min-
istry participants also made sev-
eral visits to barangays and
municipalities throughout Zam-
bales to provide support to the
local communities.
“We go out and meet with local
health workers and provide train-
ing and medical advice where it’s
needed,” said Army Maj. Kate
Flocke. “We’re also working with
the AFP’s 24th Infantry Battalion
to do some ‘train the trainer’
events so that we can be a force
multiplier and allowthemto pro-
vide better treatment for their
soldiers.”
Lt. Cmdr. Ron Kennedy, a
chaplain with NCG1 who is serv-
ing as the JCMOTFchaplain, has
scheduled other community rela-
tions activities in the area. He
says that getting to know the lo-
cal citizens and spending time
with them is just as important as
the engineering projects.
“Repairing a school or install-
ing a bridge are certainly impor-
tant and will definitely be appre-
ciated, but many times it’s the
intangible things like a basketball
game between the U.S. military

andalocal orphanage that cancre-
ate lasting memories and a tighter
bond,” Kennedy said.
There is a sharp focus on the
engineering projects that help in-
crease quality of life for many, but
that is not the only goal of the ex-
ercise.
“Each Philippine and U.S. ser-
vicemember should come out of
the exercise better trained and
equipped than before,” said Lt.
Javier Lopez-Martinez of NCG1,
the ENCAPoperations officer. “As
we go through the process, con-
struction products will be given to
the local communities, but the
greatest impact will be the in-
creased professional capacity of
everyone in our joint team.”
For Peter Lim, mayor of the
Zambales municipality of San
Narciso, whose district is benefit-
ing from several of the scheduled
ENCAPS, two of the projects
come at an important time of the
year.
“The San Pasqual footbridge
currently under construction was
one of many projects for whichwe
simply could not find funding,”
Limsaidduringtheofficial ground-
breaking ceremony of a 60-meter
footbridge that will connect two
overgrownandoftenfloodedareas
of the community. “Thanks to the
U.S. andBalikatan, farmers inSan
Pasqual will be able to transport
their crops to the village center.”
Just southof the footbridge, U.S.
and AFP engineers are building a
new schoolhouse for the Omaya
Elementary School and adding a
new roof to the existing school-
house — more than doubling the
current classroomspace.
According to the San Pasqual
footbridge construction site AFP
OIC, Lt. j.g. Romel Sotero, the
level of teamwork shared between
the U.S-Philippine Navy Seabees
has led to a lasting relationship.
“We have great teamwork,” he
said. “We are all out on the site
working together. It’s a great ave-
nue to learn from each other and
share techniques. We’ve all had a
great time, and will be sure to con-
tinue learning from each other
down the road.”
Balikatan is an annual Republic
of the Philippines – U.S. military
bilateral training exercise and hu-
manitarian assistance engage-
ment.
Balikatan in Filipino means
“shoulder-to-shoulder”and char-
acterizes the spirit of the exercise
and the Philippines-U.S. alliance.

side-by-side with the taxpayer and do the work for
them.
In addition, anyone earning more than $57,000 in ad-
justed gross income must now pay a fee, unless they’re
military personnel going through Military One Source.
In years past, the service had been free to everyone.
Those changes had Gonzales on edge. He figured there
would be a huge drop in people using the center.
Last year, 2,100 tax returns were filed. So the number
has indeed fallen, Gonzales said, but most who went else-
where were clients who had challenging and complicated
returns.
“Those who have come in and finished their returns
here have been quite surprised by the easiness and quick-
ness of doing it on their own,” he said. “I did not hear
one negative comment. Most people left with a feeling of
self-satisfaction that they were able to do it themselves.”
Some who used the center were surprised they had to
pay, but Gonzales pointed out that the fee is still consid-
erably less than what people would pay a professional tax
preparer out in town.
The tax center is located in Building 103, Room 104,
across the street from the CBC Federal Credit Union.
Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday
and 10 a.m. to noon Saturday. For information, call 982-
4548.

art cardio equipment, renovated locker
rooms with saunas, newracquetball courts
and six 60-inch television screens with Di-
recTV satellite service.
From top to bottom — literally — ev-
erything is new. There’s newflooring in the
workout area, and there are new ceiling
fans and six rooftop skylights that can be
opened for ventilation.
The newlockers gleam. The racquetball
courts are pristine. The saunas smell
good.
The women’s locker roomis nownext to
the men’s at the far end of the weight room.
The racquetball courts are behind the bas-
ketball courts at the other end of the build-
ing.
“We had a group in here earlier this week
using the racquetball courts,” Kevin Lud-
wig, athletic director for Morale, Welfare
and Recreation, said as he arranged the
weight room Friday. “They loved them. It
used to be dark back there, like a cave. The
wood was down to the nails. It was really
bad.”
The enlarged women’s locker room has
74 lockers and four individual shower
stalls.
The men’s locker room has 156 lockers
and eight individual shower stalls. Privacy
prevails; the long row of tile and shower-
heads is gone.
Each locker roomhas a sauna and hand-
icapped-accessible stalls and lockers.
NBVCreceiveda Navy grant topurchase
$395,000 of new fitness equipment, and
new equipment was purchased for the
Warfield Gym, Mugu Gym and the gym
on San Nicolas Island. The weight room
at Warfield nowhas 10 newpieces of plate-
loaded equipment fromHammer Strength,
13 new pieces of Selectorize fitness equip-
ment and new free weights.
The new cardio equipment on the mez-
zanine includes 10 treadmills, 11 bikes, 10
ellipticals and two stepmills.
With the last fewweeks being filled with
news of sequestration and furloughs, Lud-
wig said Tuesday’s grand opening couldn’t
have come at a better time.
“This is a bright, positive thing in the
midst of some real negative stuff,” he
said.
The Warfield is open from 5 a.m. to 9
p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. to
6 p.m. Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday
and 7 a.m. to noon Sunday.

In response to both sequestration and the
reopening of the Warfield Gym next door,
the Bee-Fit Wellness Center at Naval Base
VenturaCounty(NBVC) Port Hueneme has
slashedits hours andreducedthe number of
classes offered there and at the Point Mugu
Gym.
“Active dutypersonnel are not affectedby
these changes,”saidRamona Pagel, director
of the Bee-Fit. “The idea of a ‘culture of
fitness’ is not affected. We live in Southern
Californiawhere there are oceans toswimin
and mountains to hike. We’re just not open
as many hours, and that may not be as con-
venient for some people as in the past.”
The center’s new hours are Monday
through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
It’s closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The class schedule at the Bee-Fit has been
reducedfrom32to11. At Mugu, it has been
cut from20 to six.
Pagel said the reductions were heart-
wrenching.
“Someone had written the new schedule
on the board outside the office,” Pagel said.
“I thought, ‘Oh, she’s not finished yet,’ and
then I realized she was.”
Pagel said she tried to keep classes on a
regular schedule. Zumba and yoga, for ex-
ample, areofferedMondaysandWednesdays,
and family-friendly cardio sculpt classes are
Tuesdays and Thursdays, albeit at different
sites.
“We tried to accommodate everyone’s
needs as best we could,”Pagel said.
She pointed out that before the Warfield
closed15months ago, the Bee-Fit was closed
onSundays, openfor onlytwohours onSat-
urdays, and open only in the mornings on
Fridays.

Hedge wins Joyce Stewart Award for work with women, vets
Innominating Hedge for the award, Chief
Builder LoganAshcitednot onlyher mentor-
shipof womeninNMCB5but alsoherefforts
toeducatethebattalionduringBlackHistory
MonthandWomen’s HistoryMonthandher
work back home with veterans.
“Her efforts haveincreasedtheeffectiveness
and strength of NMCB 5 through her dedi-
catedefforts toeducateandpromotediversity
throughout the entire command,” Ash
wrote.
For BlackHistoryMonth, Hedgedesigned
a skit about slavery and emancipation, and
for Women’s History Month, she asked 12
open-ended questions to female Sailors and
videotaped their responses.
“Their answers to the questions highlight
theobstaclesthat womenhavefacedasfemale
membersof amale-dominatedprofessionand
provide a unique perspective and advice for
all members of thebattaliontoconsider,”Ash
wrote.
Shortly after arriving in Okinawa, Hedge
sawa need for female mentorship.
“Many of these young women were iso-
latedandhavingahardtime connectingwith
their peers being so far fromhome,”Ash ex-
plained. “After proactivelyspeakingwithsev-
eral of them, she uncoveredmanyissues they
wereall experiencingas theycopedwithbeing
deployed and spearheaded the institute of a
monthly women’s meeting.”
Inanemail fromOkinawa, Hedgeexplained
why these meetings are important.
“I have done construction since I was very
young, so fromexperience I can say that it is
difficult to be a woman in any male-domi-
nated career field,” she wrote. “Many think
that womenare unable topull their weight in
the construction industry; my goal with the
females I work with is to empower them to
excel and prove that stereotype wrong.”
Hedge is a Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response victim advocate, and the topic of
sexual harassment and assault comes up in
some of the meetings.
“Ican’t stressenoughhowimportant aware-
ness of these issues are, andhowimportant it
is for these women to know that they’re not
alone, andtheyhave someone totalkto, be it
peers, mentors or simplyanother female Sea-
bee,” she wrote. “In summary, I suppose the
goal of these meetings is tomentor eachoth-
er, share stories and have a good time. It’s
important to encourage each other to keep
kicking butt and taking names!”
Whilehomeported, Hedgevolunteers with
Reins for H.O.P.E. and Ojai Horse Rescue,
both of which help wounded warriors, and
Habitat for Humanity.
“Wherever she goes, she shines as a model
citizen, Sailor and Seabee for all to see,”Ash
concluded.
About 120peopleattendedtheJoyceStew-
art Award ceremony. Capt. Donald “Drew”
Basden, thenewdeputycommodoreof Com-
mander Airborne Command Control and
Logistics Wing, announced the winner after
eachnomineehadbeenintroducedandledto
thestage. Earlierintheceremony, hediscussed
theimportanceof knowingthedifferencebe-
tween tolerance and acceptance.
“We need to accept people for what they
are, who they are and what they can do,” he
said.
Event co-chairs Lisa Zimmerman and
Pamm Klieman spoke about issues facing
today’s emerging and current female work-
force. Past recipients of theawardwererecog-
nized, and a Thousand Oaks country singer,
Kenzie Mae, sang the Miley Cyrus hit, “The
Climb.”
Theaward, whichwasfirstgivenoutin1992,
is named for the first woman at the Naval
ConstructionBattalionCenter toachieve the
professional gradeof GM-14. Shewasremem-
beredat theceremonyasbeinganhonest com-
municator, an inspiration to her staff and
someone whose mantra was “inclusion vice
exclusion.”
