Kyron Anderson knows he could
do his own taxes. He’s done them
before, and he’s done them for oth-
er people as a volunteer tax pre-
parer.
But as an aircrewman mechanical
with Air Test and Evaluation
Squadron 30 (VX-30), why should
he? “I want to use somebody who
has the most up-to-date informa-
tion, who knows everything that’s
service-related,” he said.
So on a recent Wednesday, An-
derson hauled all his paperwork
over to the computer lab at the Na-
val Construction Training Center
at Naval Base Ventura County Port
Hueneme, where the Volunteer In-
come Tax Assistance program has
set up shop until April 15.

Have a suggestion? Drop it in!
By Airman Rhonniesha Simpson
NBVC
Communication is a vital factor when it comes
to operating within the Navy. Whether they’re com-
ing from a seaman recruit, commanding officer or
civilian contractor, suggestions and comments are
important and can potentially help improve the well
being of all.
The Commanding Officer Suggestion Box pro-
gram at Naval Base Ventura County does exactly
that.
The CO Suggestion Box allows everyone to give
feedback to the commanding officer. It also provides
the CO with an opportunity to hear everyone’s
voice and take action where it is needed. Anyone
who might be apprehensive of possible consequenc-
es should not be concerned — all comments and
suggestions are totally anonymous.
“Having a CO suggestion box is great, especial-
ly for those who are lower ranking,” said Culinary
Specialist 2nd Class Rafael Pascal. “It provides an
easier way to communicate regardless of ranks, and
you can even keep it anonymous.”
Voicing opinions and providing fresh perspective
on current programs or problems can help facilitate
the chain of command in better understanding of
the needs of the community.
“We’re looking to improve processes and imple-
ment ideas,” said Capt. Jim McHugh, NBVC com-
manding officer. “Employees are a great source of
innovative ideas, due to the first-hand experiences
they have in the day-to-day workplace. I encourage
all interested personnel to take advantage of this
option.”
The CO Suggestion Box is simple to use. Just
go to any of the drop box locations at the Warfield
Gym at Port Hueneme, Mugu gym, Navy Lodge,
Beach Motel, PSD and both galleys. Fill out a form
and drop it in the secured box. Anyone can use it.
Next time something of concern crosses your
mind, don’t hesitate to drop it in the suggestion box.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Jack-
alyne Pfannenstiel will be the keynote
speaker at the 4th Annual Military Busi-
ness & Community Expo set for April 21
at the Ventura County Office of Education
Conference Center in Camarillo.
Pfannenstiel, who is in charge of energy
installations and environmental issues, will
discuss “Sailing the Great Green Fleet:
How Strategic Energy Use Advances Our
Mission.” Her message will be in keeping
with the expo’s overall sustainable energy
theme.
The Department of Navy has set a goal
that by the year 2020, 50 percent of all
Navy energy consumption must come
from alternative sources such as biofuels,
hybrid electric power systems, wind tur-
bines, solar power and geothermal pow-
er.
The expo will focus on how Naval Base
Ventura County is working to achieve
energy success locally and how local con-
tractors and businesses might align them-
selves to do business with the Navy in the
years ahead.
Hosted by TRIAD, the Ventura Coun-
ty Economic Development Association,
RDP-21 and the Santa Barbara and Chan-
nel Islands Navy Leagues, the expo will
feature sessions on alternative fuels, en-
ergy, reducing carbon footprints and
LEED certified buildings. Other confer-
ence topics will include “HowTo Do Busi-
ness With The Navy” and “How To Get
A Job On Base.”
Asimultaneous free job fair will feature
local employers, staffing services and Navy
base employment opportunities. The job
fair is designed to align potential candi-
dates to positions open on base and
throughout the community.
“The Navy base is Ventura County’s
largest employer, with over 17,000 military
and civilian personnel,” said Bill Buratto,
president of VCEDA and chair of the
Military Expo Planning Committee. “In
addition, it supports thousands of off-base
jobs. There is no doubt that the base is an
integral part of our county’s economy. The
Navy’s focus on alternative energy and
sustainability complements VCEDA’s ef-
forts to establish Ventura County as a
vibrant hub for green and alternative en-
ergy business.”
The conference center is at 5100 Adolfo
Road in Camarillo. Expo and job fair
hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission to
the expo and conference is $40 if pur-
chased by April 15 and $50 at the door.
Admission includes access to all exhibi-
tors, presentations, workshops and expo
continental breakfast and lunch.
To register online, go to:
www.militarybizexpo.com.
To inquire about exhibiting at the expo
or job fair, contact Renee Smith at 969-
5244 or at [email protected].

Lt. Olivia K. Degenkolb of Car-
rier Airborne Command and Con-
trol Squadron 112 (VAW-112) and
the Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Point Mugu Operations
Department has received the 2011
Joyce W. Stewart Memorial Award
for her efforts to promote equal
treatment and acceptance of diver-
sity on base.
The selection was announced by
Capt. Jim McHugh, NBVC com-
manding officer, before a packed
ballroom at the Bard Mansion on
March 24. The award ceremony was
coordinatedby the Federal Women’s
Program, a committee of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Council
for NBVC.
Degenkolb was one of 12 indi-
viduals and one two-person team
nominated. As this was the 20th an-
niversary of the award, many for-
mer winners were on hand for the
event.
According to her nomination let-
ter, Degenkolb, who is responsible
for leading, managing and mentor-
ing 26 Sailors in two departments,
created a comprehensive education
plan directed at increasing the
knowledge base and qualification
level of all junior Sailors.

It’s that time!
Each summer, all across the county,
summer camps take place for special,
unsung heroes: military children and
youth. Children of deployed military
members have an opportunity to attend
a free summer camp specifically crafted
and developed for their unique life-
style.
Offered by the National Military
Family Association, an organization
dedicated to advocating for the military
family (www.militaryfamily.org), Op-
eration Purple summer camps provide
military kids “a carefree, fun experience
while learning coping skills to deal with
war-related stress.”
Operation Purple camps are fun! Our
military teens and youth have an op-
portunity to experience camp with all
that it includes — activities, events and
experiences. Woven in the fabric of these
camps are opportunities for campers to
connect with other military kids facing
the same challenges of military and de-
ployment life as well as opportunities
to learn coping methods, stress manage-
ment and much more.
Stephanie Cabrera, a National Guard
spouse and mother of five, speaks of
the experience and impact on her chil-
dren through Operation Purple.
“My oldest, my son, was able to con-
nect with other teens who also felt the
effects of deployment and specifically
as their new role as ‘man of the house.’
He came home with rich friendships and
a lighter spirit.”
She spoke of one teen daughter who
“wasn’t going to go.” This teen felt the
camp would hold nothing for her.
“When we arrived to pick her up she
wasn’t ready to leave her new friends
and camp counselors,” Cabrera said.
“She talked about it for months.”
Operation Purple camps are open to
military children from all branches with-
out regard to rank. Priority is given to
children whose parents are currently
within a 15-month “deployment win-
dow.”
This year Operation Purple will host
40 weeklong sessions in 25 states as well
as Japan. These camps are free to at-
tendees. Transportation costs are the
responsibility of the camper. Space is
limited, so early registration is encour-
aged; however, applicants are chosen
based on deployment criteria, not on a
first-come, first-serve basis.
For more information on Operation
Purple summer camp as well as family
camps offered through National Mili-
tary Family Association (NMFA), log
on on www.militaryfamily.org. You can
register to receive updates on Operation
Purple and other events sponsored by
NMFA at that site as well.
After speaking to Stephanie’s camp-
ers, I’ve decided that if I can’t attend as
a camper, I need to find a camp where
I can volunteer. I don’t want to miss out
on the fun and the friendships these
campers experience.
April is the Month of the Military
Child. Be sure to connect with your
installation’s Child and Youth Programs
office as well as family programs for op-
portunities for your military child tak-
ing place throughout the month and the
summer.

In 1986, April was designated as the
Month of the Military Child, a time when
each branch of the military service recog-
nizes the sacrifices made by the children
of parents who are serving our country
Here at Naval Base Ventura County,
military children are important year-
round. There are many programs and
services in place to support military fam-
ilies with children. The month of April
allows us to highlight these many pro-
grams.
Child Development Centers, Child De-
velopment Homes and Youth Centers are
available for children of all ages. These
programs provide child care and enriching
activities for military-connected children,
ages 6 weeks through 18. All of the centers
are accredited by national accrediting
agencies and offer high quality pro-
grams.
The Youth Centers provide school-age
care for elementary age children and cater
their schedule to the local schools’ sched-
ules. With either a “walking” bus or an
actual bus, children can be taken safely
from the door step 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. The CYP teen pro-
grams provide highly interactive and excit-
ing teen rooms catered to the interests of
the teens in their programs. Best of all,
teens who are new to the area (or maybe
haven’t even arrived yet) can connect with
teens who are already here and become
familiar with the area through the Navy
Youth Sponsorship Program.
Already planning a soccer season, bas-
ketball season and a kids run, the NBVC
Youth &Fitness Programis off to a racing
start, with many new fitness and sports
programs coming. This programwill allow
children to find true enjoyment in sports
and fitness in a safe learning environment
while also learning the fundamentals of
teamwork and fair competition.
Even prior to birth, military children
are taken care of at the Fleet & Family
Support Center. Through the NewParent
Support Program, expectant parents can
find support, knowledge and resources.
Once the baby arrives, a new spectrum of
questions and concerns may arise and New
Parent Support will be there to lead the
parents to the resources and help they
need.
General parenting classes, step-parent-
ing classes and support for families with
exceptional family members lead into an-
other area of support for military children
at the FFSC. When parents seek support
and knowledge, their children benefit.
The NBVCschool liaison officer (SLO)
is also available to families with any edu-
cation-related questions. The SLO can
assist families in finding educational re-
sources, such as free online tutoring. Also,
the SLO can guide parents when making
a school related decision. Every school
system is different; therefore, 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 to show appreciation to mili-
tary children. It is estimated that there are
more than 1 million children who have at
least one parent serving on active duty.
Here in Ventura County, it is estimated
that there are nearly 5,000 children who
are military-connected.
To showappreciation to those children,
a Kids Day event is planned for April 30,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at NBVC Point
Mugu.
Please take time this month to recognize
and appreciate the military child in your
life. Their support, sacrifices and contribu-
tions 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 at 989-5211 or 207-

Worship schedule
We are currently in the season of Lent,
which most Christians celebrate. Lent
commenced on Ash Wednesday and ends
for some on Holy Thursday and for others
the day before Easter. It is a recognized
time of repentance, self-denial, sacrifice
and overall Christian growth.
In preparation for the celebration of the
Resurrection of Christ, Easter, we are ex-
pected to be introspective, search our own
hearts and take spiritual inventory. We are
to look within and identify anything we
need to change within our lives that inter-
feres with or hinders our relationship with
God. This is why many choose to fast from
food or something that has demanded
most of one’s time, thoughts and atten-
tion. For example, some give up sweets,
meat and other foods, alcohol, video
games, cigarettes, watching television,
shopping sprees, drinking coffee — and
the list goes on.
Although fasting is an essential part of
Lent, the purpose is to bring one closer
to God. Therefore, an exchange is sup-
posed to occur. When one fasts, the pur-
pose is to give more of yourself and your
time to God by praying consistently, read-
ing more of the Holy Scriptures for per-
sonal application and growth and meditat-
ing on what God is speaking to you and
your family. If one simply gives something
up for 40 days and makes no change with-
in one’s self or does spiritual inventory,
then howdoes one’s relationship with God
benefit? What about when one chooses to
fast from a particular food and after the
fast, in glutton form, eats the food they
craved?
There are certain virtues that should be
cultivated during Lent, such as repentance,
self-control, peace, love, kindness, giving
and simplicity. This is not an exhaustive
list of virtues, just examples of the change
that should be taking place when we fast
for God.
Remember that when we fast in a reli-
gious context, fasting should be inten-
tional, purposeful and deliberate. Fasting
can really help us put things in perspective
and recognize what is really important in
our lives. Fasting can free our mind to
focus more on God’s expectations of us,
as long as we are not constantly thinking
about or missing the “thing” we have
given up. Fasting can help us recognize
the difference between needs and wants.
When we give up something we think we
need, we gain more freedom in our life.
Personally, I view it as freedom to serve
God more freely.
My prayer is that when we fast for spir-
itual reasons, we make every effort to sub-
mit more of ourselves to God so that He
can continue to do good work in and
through us.
Fasting, done properly, helps relationship with God

KANDAHARAfghanistan —Seabees fromNaval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 assigned to Kan-
dahar consistently maintain a high-quality camp in support
of special operations forces.
These Seabees have been fixing broken doors, leaky fau-
cets and taking care of most anything in the camp having
to do with electrical, plumbing and carpentry work.
Maintaining the camp has been no easy task. In a mat-
ter of four months, there have been more than 60 plumb-
ing repairs, including the replacement of 300 feet of
sewer piping and 100 building repairs.
“I have repaired a little of everything but mostly the
plumbing of the camp,”said Utilitiesman 3rd Class (SCW)
Benjamin Sanders. “I didn’t plan on just doing work re-
lated to my rate [trade skills]. I actually planned on doing
mostly builder type of work, but it is definitely nice to get
so much experience in my rate doing the work that I have
done.”
The Seabees have also used their construction skills to
make life in the camp more organized and comfortable.
“I provide any carpentry work that’s needed in camp,”
said Builder 3rd Class (SCW) Nicholas Emmons. “I have
built about 50 shelves and repaired 50 beds.”

Steel Worker 1st Class (SCW) Teddy Brown has been deployed
to Afghanistan for more than four months, and he has made a
superb impact on military and locals alike during his time in coun-
try.
Brown deployed with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3, but he is currently assigned to the 25th Naval Con-
struction Regiment (NCR) in Kandahar as the bridge program
manager.
“Right now, we’re working on Gen. David Petraeus’ freedom of
movement initiative on the main supply routes for the country,”
said Brown.
He has tasked units with 30 different bridge repair projects since
he has been deployed.
“I’m in the process of mapping every bridge in the country, no
matter what size it is,” he said.
Keeping Afghanistan’s bridges safe and stable ensures freedom
of movement for NATO troops in the country and also helps the
locals with their travel. Safe bridges provide stable supply routes
for military convoys, and they help local farmers transport their
wares from villages to market, often over extremely rough terrain.
This safe transit of goods and services will help stimulate the local
economy.
“Our No. 1 priority is freedom of movement for commerce and
operations,” said Capt. Allan Stratman, commodore, 25th
NCR.
“It feels great knowing we are helping,” Brown said.

By Lt. Carl Davis
VAW-112 public affairs officer
Just hours after successfully passing an
aviation maintenance inspection that in-
cluded an emergency medical response
drill, three members of Carrier Airborne
Command and Control Squadron 112
(VAW-112) came across a car accident and
rendered first aid to the seriously injured
driver.
On detachment to Naval Air Station,
Fallon, Nev., VAW-112 Command Master
Chief Casey Forsch, Senior Chief Avia-
tion Structural Mechanic JimLitviak and
Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class
Jason Haag were driving about 1 p.m.
Friday, March 25, on a rural road when
they came upon the single-car accident
that had happened moments before.
“The car had lost control, skidded
across the road sideways and hit the op-
posite bermwith enough force to eject the
driver through the passenger side window
and through a barbed wire fence,”Forsch
said. “She was face-down in the dirt about
eight feet from the car.”
While someone from a nearby home
called 911, Forsch, Litviak and Haag shut
off the car engine and rendered first aid,
staying with the woman until the ambu-
lance and law enforcement arrived.
Forsch once worked as an emergency
medical technician and firefighter; Lit-
viak and Haag have been trained in
CPR.
“She was lucid and conscious,” Forsch
said. “We asked where she was hurt and
assessed her for trauma and bleeding. Re-
markably, she seemed in pretty good shape
except for her face being very bloody.”
The woman asked the Sailors to call her
daughter, which they did. She arrived
about the same time as the ambulance.
She rode with her mother in the ambu-
lance, while Haag drove the daughter’s
truck to the hospital.
Haag called the family three days later
and learned that the woman was in fair
but stable condition but would be under-
going surgery for a broken pelvis.

The newly expanded Bee Fit and Ready Department, which features tactical
equipment and nutritional supplements, held a grand opening at the Naval
Base Ventura County Port Hueneme Navy Exchange on Friday, April 1. Tactical
equipment is the fast-growing line of merchandise in the store, said Ramiro
Victoria, hardlines divisional manager. “Sales are phenomenal, especially pre-
deployment or pre-field exercise,” said General Manager Anna Esguerra. The
expansion gives Port Hueneme’s NEX the second largest tactical department in
the Navy Exchange system, she said.

By BUC (SCW) Daniel James Lynch
NCTC
and Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
(Editor’s note: This is the first in a series
following a high schooler’s experience at
“A” School.)
As a 17-year-old high school junior,
Andrew Geer of Oxnard is getting an A-
level education.
For 11 weeks, Andrew, a standout auto
mechanics student at Channel Islands
High School, is attending Construction
Mechanic “A” School, working alongside
24 Navy and Air Force recruits at the Na-
val Construction Training Center, Port
Hueneme, learning the ins and outs of the
engines, power trains, brakes, steering sys-
tems and other critical components of
military and commercial vehicles.
By the time he’s done, Andrewwill have
the high school credits he needs plus a
jump start on a vocational school educa-
tion that can lead to an auto mechanic
certificate and the job opportunities that
come with it.
And he won’t have paid a dime.
“I’m pretty amazed about that,” he
said.
Geer is one of five students taking ad-
vantage of a fledgling programthat opens
NCTC’s doors to outstanding mechani-
cally inclined high school students. Two
other local high school students are cur-
rently in the program, and two graduated
earlier this year.
“We’re ecstatic about being able to pro-
vide this program,” said NCTC Chief
Construction Mechanic Jeff Bright. “It
helps students to graduate on time with
the correct number of credits, and it can
provide some direction to those who aren’t
sure what they want to do with their
lives.”
“It’s pretty good so far,” Andrew said
during his second week of classes. “We
spent all last week on the cooling system,
the ignition system and the basics of an
engine. The cooling system– I didn’t know
anything about that.”
Safety was also a big part of the cur-
riculum, as was paperwork for the re-
cruits.
“I like working with my hands more
than the paperwork,” he said.
His oldest classmate is 31; the youngest
is 18.
“I’ve become friends with a couple of
them, well enough to talk to and ask ques-
tions,” he said.
Andrew is attending courses in the
NCTC classrooms from 7 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. Officially, he’s in independent studies,
so he squeezes in English, physical educa-
tion and other academics the rest of the
day, as instructed by an Oxnard Union
High School District independent studies
coordinator.
For the next few weeks, Andrew will be
studying electrical components and bat-
teries, lighting and warning systems, start-
ing systems, electronic ignition, on-board
computer systems and diesel engines.
The second half of the class deals with
hydraulic, suspension and steering sys-
tems, plus transmission, drive lines, gear
boxes and brakes.
Andrew’s father, Eric, worked as a me-
chanic for 10 years, and Andrew grew up
tinkering with cars. Today, there’s a 1971
Plymouth Satellite sitting in his side yard,
waiting for him to get some spare time.
“I’ve grown up around manual labor
work,”he said. “It’s more fun for me than
bookwork. I can’t sit around and do noth-
ing for awhile.”
Still, it was by sheer accident that he
ended up in auto shop in high school.
“I’d signed up for cooking, but they put
me in auto shop,” he said. “It ended up
being pretty interesting.”
At the start of this school year, Andrew
signed up for the NCTCprogram. He went
through an interview process and was se-
lected.
“They told me they’d be watching me
because I wasn’t always going to class at
Channel Islands,” he confessed. “They
thought that if I was in a military pro-
gram, I’d do better.”
He didn’t knowwhat to expect fromthe
instructors.
“I thought they’d all be drill instructors,
yelling and screaming,”he said. “It’s a lot
more relaxed than I thought. It’s also
harder. There’s a lot more bookwork and
homework than I expected.”
He said the program has forced him to
concentrate and focus.
“Andrew is a good example of the type
of student we’re trying to get in this pro-
gram,” Bright said. “We can provide a lot
of guidance for a student who might be
struggling in a pure academic environment
or who might be having disagreements
with authority figures. ”
He called Andrew a “model student”in
A-school.
“He’s on time, and he’s willing to learn,”
Bright said.

In keeping with the Navy’s energy pol-
icy, all heating plants are being shut down
until cooler weather returns this fall.
The last plant will be shut down by April
15.
The Public Works Department reminds
all personnel at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty that electric portable heaters are pro-
hibited unless they have prior approval.
Ken Mears and Tom Santoianni of the
Public Works Department reviewrequests
for portable space heaters on a case-by-
case basis. Those that are approved must
be Underwriter Laboratory, (UL) or Fac-
tory Mutual (FM) approved and must
have a label or approval affixed with a
built-in thermostat and a tip-over device.
A permit must also be obtained from the
Fire Prevention Office, which can be
reached at 989-0112. Portable space heat-
ers using gas or liquid fuel are prohibit-
ed.

off for summer
The 2011 intramural basketball season came
to an end Tuesday, March 29, with Fleet Read-
iness Center (FRC) Fire taking the crown.
FRCFire defeated Old School, whose players
came from several different commands, with a
final score of 57 to 45.
Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Patrick
Robinson was named most valuable player, hav-
ing scored 21 points.
FRCFire lost their first two games, then went
undefeated for the rest of the season. They went
into the playoffs with a 6-2 record, then won all
five games in the playoffs.
“We had our confidence shaken and it was
pretty tough, but then we became focused and
went undefeated,” Robinson said. “That made
it extra fun.”
Annabelle Ferrer, who coordinated the games
for Morale, Welfare and Recreation, said the
season went smoothly.
“We had 18 teams take part,” she said. “It
was really good.”
The season began at the end of January, and
playoffs started March 9.
The championship team was made up of
Robinson, Eric Britt, Jason Jackson, Seth
Thompson, Christian Galman, Chris Gappi,
Mike Vargas and Bruno Munoz.

Editor’s note: Winston LaVern “Mike”
Miller, who was assigned to the brand-new
Naval Air Missile Test Center at Point
Mugu in 1946 — making him a “plank
owner” — died March 5. He retired from
Point Mugu in 1965, then was appointed
technical director of the Pacific Missile
Range, a position he held until 1984.
Bill Cunneen, a retired naval officer who
served as vice commander during part of
Miller’s tenure at the Pacific Missile Test
Center, wrote this story based on a 53-page
transcript of a tape recording Miller made
about his life and career. The transcript
and accompanying photographs are
housed in the Command Historical Stor-
age Facility at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Point Mugu.
By Bill Cunneen
Point Mugu is what it is today in part
because of Winston LaVern “Mike”Mill-
er.
Miller was part of the post-World War
II survey group that evaluated 26 prospec-
tive sites for the Navy’s guided missile
development and test facility. That group
eventually recommended Point Mugu, a
choice that Congress and the president of
the United States affirmed.
Miller had begun his engineering career
with the Navy’s Bureau of Aeronautics
(BUAER). As a degreed aeronautical en-
gineer, he was immediately assigned to
BUAER upon his graduation from the
University of Minnesota and commission-
ing in 1943, and so he missed combat in
World War II. He also missed pilot train-
ing because the Navy’s need for aeronau-
tical engineers took precedence.
After three years, Miller was transferred
from BUAER headquarters to Naval Air
Station Mojave, where early elements of
the Point Mugu workforce were being as-
sembled. At Mugu itself, facilities were
being prepared for the Oct. 1, 1946, com-
missioning of the Naval Air Missile Test
Center (NAMTC).
Miller’s first assignment was the Gar-
goyle program. This air-to-surface 1,000-
pound glide bomb was being tested on the
Mojave field range against stationary
ground targets. This project included a
contractor (McDonnell Aircraft), civil
service engineers and technicians, and
uniformed Navy personnel, a combination
that would endure throughout his career.
Miller was primarily responsible for ensur-
ing that the Navy’s interests were pro-
tected and that the system under test sat-
isfied the Navy’s requirements.
In September of 1946, Miller, now a
lieutenant, arrived at Point Mugu to lead
the propulsion laboratory, a merger of the
rocket group that had been moved from
Annapolis, Md., and the air-breathing
engine group that had been moved from
Traverse City, Mich. For the next three
years, he presided over the organizational
and professional changes necessitated by
a growing and maturing NAMTC.
He returned to BUAER headquarters
in 1949.
By 1962, the year Miller returned to
Point Mugu, the Sea Test Range that had
been included in the NAMTC organiza-
tion had been designated the Pacific Mis-
sile Range (PMR), an independent orga-
nization and a “national range” and the
Navy’s major component of a Defense
Department organization of armed service
range capabilities.
A major effort at Point Mugu from the
NAMTCbeginnings was the development
and acquisition of aerial targets that
would represent a threat simulation to the
weapons under test. The targets organiza-
tion became part of the PMR.
Miller, by now a captain, returned to
Point Mugu as the director of missiles for
the Naval Missile Center (NMC). BUAER
had been succeeded by the Naval Air Sys-
tems Command (NAVAIR), and Miller
was deeply involved in a NAVAIR pro-
gram titled Total Airborne Weapon Sys-
tem Performance Evaluation Program
(TAWSPEP). It concentrated on entire
system integration that included the air-
craft avionics, the missile guidance and
fire control system, and aircrew functions
and interfaces.
Up until then the interfaces were not
sophisticated, but the introduction of the
dual operator F-4 and then the F-14 con-
vinced NAVAIR management that the
entire system required special integration
attention that included testing. This led
to the development and use of special
laboratories known as SystemIntegration
Test Stations (SITS), the most famous and
highly employed of which was the F-14/
Phoenix SITS at Point Mugu.
The combination of special laboratories
and a highly instrumented test range at
Point Mugu was used by the contractors
developing highly capable weapons sys-
‘Plank owner’ Miller helped create Mugu

tems that would defeat emerging threat
systems, represented on the PMR as aer-
ial targets. The SITS was owned by the
Navy and used by system and support
contractors Hughes and Grumman.
Flight test was conducted on the PMR,
which required instrumentation and tar-
gets commensurate with the sophistica-
tion of the weapons being tested.
In 1965, Miller retired from the uni-
formed Navy and applied for the senior
civil service position at the PMR. In the
taped interview, he expressed the belief
that a prime reason for his selection for
the range position was that, in his role at
the NMC as director of missiles, his proj-
ects were a major user of PMR services,
and the PMR management believed that
he could improve the relationship be-
tween the NMC and the PMR, particu-
larly because of the increasing sophistica-
tion of the systems being tested. His
selection for this position was controver-
sial among PMR senior civil service per-
sonnel who had been serving in the PMR
and thought themselves highly qualified
for this senior position. In typical Mike
Miller fashion, he won the skeptics over
and was instrumental in improving the
performance of range functions, in at-
tracting new programs to the PMR and
in capturing Defense Department invest-
ment in upgrading PMR capability.
NAVAIR systems were a major source
of testing on the PMR, but the Naval Sea
Systems Command (NAVSEA) was
emerging as another serious contender
for the use of the Sea Test Range, par-
ticularly as the AEGIS Combat System
was being developed. The USS Norton
Sound, homeported at Port Hueneme,
became the testbed for AEGIS capabil-
ity, which has the primary mission of
protecting the fleet from attack by air-
craft and guided missiles and became a
priority demand for testing on the PMR.
This created a split in sponsorship at
Point Mugu between NAVAIR and NAV-
SEA.
Over the next several years competition
between NAVAIR and NAVSEA pro-
grams at the PMR would result in many
scheduling and resource conflicts, with
Miller and the PMR professionals trying
to satisfy competing demands.
The subject of how a major multipur-
pose, multiuser test range is funded be-
came a primary focus for Miller and the
PMR management. In the early days of
the NAMTCit was conceived by Grayson
Merrill and BUAER management that a
guided missile test range was needed as
a location where development contractors
could demonstrate the capabilities of
their systems, rather than have each con-
tractor own their own range. This also
provided Navy personnel an early op-
portunity to gain familiarity with emerg-
ing systems and ultimately conduct inde-
pendent testing and suitability evaluation.
By 1962 the use of the PMR had expand-
ed to the point that considering NAVAIR
as the sole sponsor was no longer tena-
ble.
As time went on the Defense Depart-
ment began to accept more responsibil-
ity for the capability of ranges that had
been established by the services to pursue
their own programs, which sometimes
had common goals.
As an example, both the Navy and Air
Force share the common goal of develop-
ing effective air-to-air missiles, although
for different launch platforms. In the
1950s the Navy developed the F-4, which
became so effective that the Air Force
began acquiring their own versions of
the F-4, which did not need to operate
from an aircraft carrier. In parallel, the
Navy had developed the Sparrow and
Sidewinder missile systems, which were
also adapted for all versions of the F-4.
Therefore the Defense Department tried
to determine which service should man-
age the major test facilities for guided
missiles, creating a competition between
the services that persists today and is a
concern for PMR management.
What this illustrates is that the invest-
ment and operating environment for the
PMR is highly complex and intertwined
with other services that include the Army,
the Coast Guard and foreign armed ser-
vices and extend to the Ballistic Missile
Defense Agency. All these management
challenges were either emerging or were
overcome while Miller was the senior
civilian. The PMR is universally recog-
nized as the test facility to use to prove
effectiveness of weapons, partly due to
the leadership of Miller and the dedi-
cated civilian work force.
Miller was the technical director of the
PMR when the Navy decided to collapse
the three major commands at Point Mugu
— the PMR, the NMC and Naval Air
Station Point Mugu. In July of 1975, he
became the acting technical director of
the newly consolidated PMTC under
NAVAIR sponsorship, similar to the
NAMTC structure.
By 1975 the organization at Point
Mugu had grown so much that it was
decided to create a ProgramManagement
Group that would coordinate the various
activities associated with specific pro-
grams. The technical director position
had evolved into a position of oversight
of the emerging technologies that were
being employed and improved. Miller
performed this function until mid-1976
when Thad Perry, formerly technical di-
rector of the NMC, returned from a sab-
batical to assume the position for PMTC.
Miller then resumed his position as tech-
nical director of the Range Directorate.
Until he retired in 1986, he oversaw a
Range Development Department that
was larger than any similar group at any
of the national ranges.

There, Lio Alvarado, a banker and a
first-time VITA volunteer, prepared An-
derson’s taxes for free.
“This is an excellent program,” Alvara-
do said. “People have a lot of things going
on. This is the last thing I want them
thinking about. This takes the burden off
them, and they don’t have to pay for it.”
A record number of people used the
service at NBVClast year, garnering more
than $3 million in refunds. VITAprepared
a total of 2,345 federal and state returns,
272 more than the year prior, said Sal
Gonzales, who coordinates the VITApro-
gram through the Navy Legal Service
Branch Office.
This year’s numbers are down a bit.
“We’ve done about 175 fewer tax prep-
arations than at this time last year,” Gon-
zales said. “A lot more people are com-
puter-savvy and are doing their own
taxes using programs off the web. And
there are a lot of services out there.”
But Gonzales’ stable of preparers is
ready for a last-minute onslaught as more
people realize they’ve run out of time.
“We have 41 preparers this year – 15
returned from last year,” Gonzales said.
“They’re a great group.”
Lt. (j.g.) Al Kormanos of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 5 had used the
VITA service one year at Quantico, Va.
“I saw no reason not to use the asset
here,” he said. “I could do it myself, but
this is free and it’s for the troops. Why
spend the money? There’s plenty of per-
sonnel.
“It’s a piece of cake.”
Taxes are done on a first-come, first-
served basis. The center is open from11:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and
Thursdays; noon to 4 p.m. Wednesdays;
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays; and 10 a.m. to
noon Saturdays.

Legal Service Office at 982-3124.
Tax Day gets closer; VITA ready to help procrastinators

On May 8, 1911, Navy Capt. Washing-
ton Irving Chambers, officer in charge of
aviation, requisitioned the Navy’s first
aircraft from aviator and inventor Glenn
H. Curtiss.
And so was born naval aviation.
That day — along with the birth 60
years ago of electronic warfare at Point
Mugu — was celebrated on Thursday,
March 31, with displays, guest speakers
and a luncheon for more than 400 people
at what is today Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
“It’s wonderful to be able to celebrate
this here,” said Capt. Jim McHugh, com-
manding officer, NBVC. “A lot of events
have happened here that have been critical
to naval aviation.”
McHugh was one of four who talked
that day about the role Mugu has played
in the Navy’s history. The event was orga-
nized by the Naval Air Warfare Center
Weapons Division, with support from
NBVC.
“The evolution is on display here,” Dr.
R.E. Smiley, director of electronic warfare
combat systems and the Avionics Depart-
ment for the Naval Air Warfare Center,
said as he pointed toward a display of
nearly a dozen aircraft representing dif-
ferent eras of naval aviation — from a
pre-World War II Stearman to an E-2C
Hawkeye.
Rear Adm. Mat Winter, commander,
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Divi-
sion, called Point Mugu “the jewel of
electronic warfare.”
“It’s very important to pause and re-
flect,”he said. “We wouldn’t be here with-
out the people who pioneered and took a
risk to venture out into the field of elec-
tronic warfare.”
He said the “innovative, can-do spirit”
of those who came before “will take us
into the next 50 years.”
The keynote speaker, Rear Adm. Don-
ald Gaddis, the program executive officer
for Tactical Aircraft Programs, praised not
only the electronic warfare pioneers, but
also those working in the field today.
“What you do does matter,” he said.
“You’re providing the magic to make it
work. You’re saving lives.”

Cmdr. Aaron Brodsky, executive of-
ficer of the VAW-112 Golden Hawks,
said Degenkolb was instrumental in re-
establishing the command’s professional
library, mentoring through the Navy
Women E-Mentor Program and provid-
ing fitness and nutritional information
to Sailors enrolled in the command Fit-
ness Enhancement Program.
“As the command’s primary Sexual

sity of New Hampshire,” Brodsky said.
In her spare time, Brodsky said, De-
genkolb is involved in the Big Brother,
Big Sister program and volunteers at a
local women’s shelter. She competes in
triathlons, having completed three, and
she is pursuing a master’s degree in ad-
ministrative leadership through the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma.
The Joyce W. Stewart Memorial Award
is named for the first woman at the Na-
val Construction Battalion Center to

ent, spoke during the luncheon, In ad-
dition, a song was performed by Jenna
and Desiree Gillespie, daughters of Kris-
tine Gillespie, Naval Surface Warfare
Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC

In his remarks, McHugh acknowledged
the 14 nominees for possessing the same

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held
Thursday, March 31, for an S-3 simulator
that was moved in pieces from Jackson-
ville, Fla., to its new home at Naval Base
Ventura County, Point Mugu.
The simulator, which is being used by
Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 30
(VX-30) replicates the cockpit of the two
S-3B Vikings that VX-30 flies out of
Mugu. The aircraft provides range surveil-
lance and control for the Sea Test Range
off the coast of Mugu. It also provides
infrared imagery and is used in airborne
threat exercises.
“This simulator is key to being able to
safely operate the S-3, and at the same
time, keep the test range clear for other
activities,” explained Cmdr. John Rous-
seau, commanding officer of VX-30. “It
is essential in safely taking folks from dif-
ferent aircraft types and qualifying them
to fly in the S-3. There are no other train-
ing providers to train our aircrew.”
Rousseau was joined at the ribbon-cut-
ting by Rear Adm. Mat Winter, com-
mander, Naval Air Warfare Center Weap-
ons Division, and Rear Adm. Donald
Gaddis, programexecutive officer for Tac-
tical Aircraft Programs.
Lt. Christine Felice of VX-30 was tasked
in 2009 with finding a location for the
simulator andarranging its move toMugu.
Building 611 across from the VX-30 han-
gar had been empty for years and had
become infested with bats. She oversaw
the cleanup, then coordinated the 2,500-
mile transport of the simulator via flatbed
truck and three C-130 cargo runs.
“The simulator is an excellent tool for
us,” she said.

When Cmdr. Allen Blaxton took com-
mand of Fleet Readiness Center South-
west at Naval Base Ventura County, Point
Mugu, earlier this year, he knewright away
how to state his philosophy to his Sail-
ors.
“‘AMessage to Garcia’”is an essay that
was placed in my inbox (the old-fashioned
wooden kind) after about a week in my
first squadron by our newly-arrived squad-
ron safety officer,” he said. “Little did I
know the impact this essay, which indel-
ibly etched a mindset that I try my best to
emulate daily, would have on my career
or howmany times I would reference it in
the future.”
So Blaxton put out a challenge to his
new Sailors: Write an essay that explains
what the message means to you.
“I wanted to creatively, yet in a mean-
ingful way, ensure that the Sailors of FRC
Southwest, Point Mugu have the chance
to benefit from its meaning in the same
way that I’ve tried to,” Blaxton said.
“There’s obviously a limit to the type of
initiative displayed by Rowan that has to
be respected, and a responsibility of lead-
ers to ensure we’re in fact sending the right
messages to the right people. Bad things
can happen if these constraints aren’t
heeded in short, we have to avoid ‘can-do
gone awry.’
Blaxton deemed the following three es-
says to be the best fromamong those sub-
mitted, and he gave each of the writers a
day of special liberty.

cia,” written by Elbert Hubbard in 1899,

What is the secret to success? For cen-
turies there has been much speculation on
the subject. Many key points pertaining
tothe achievement of success are examined
in the short essay “A Message to Garcia”
by Elbert Hubbard. Such a person is out-
lined in the lead character, whose traits are
supplied as a basis for rest of the story.
Who knewa simple story could hold such
insight on idea of being a successful per-
son.
The story takes place in the late 19th
century during the American conflict with
Spain. In the beginning of the story, the
reader is introduced to a man called Row-
an who is noted for his ability to achieve
results. His reputation is so valued that he
is called upon to complete a task by the
highest authority in the United States, the
president. The president needs him to de-
liver a message to General Garcia, a lead-
er of insurgents in Cuba.
The quick delivery of this message is
highly critical in the outcome of the war,
so one could imagine the magnitude of
this task. However, the difficulty comes
not with the importance of the task, but
the manner in which its done. Garcia’s
existence is very vague. What’s more is dur-
ing this period in time message delivery
was not simple like it is today.
The sound of this daunting task would
send an average scurrying for help, and
begging for more information. To Rowan
it’s another assignment that he must com-
plete, so without further adieu he gets it
done as asked. In telling this story, the
author’s aim is to challenge the reader to
ask himself “Could I carry a message to
Garcia?”
As a member of the U.S. Navy, “AMes-
sage to Garcia” is a motivational story.
Motivational being a choice word because
of the story’s ability to help you under-
stand that you could be like Rowan if you
desire. It’s easy to become disgruntled in
the military, but you must look at the big
picture. Do the job right and when a task
is assigned, don’t askfoolishquestions. Just
do it and do it with a sense of urgency. You
will get what you put out. If you do half-
effort work and must constantly be baby-
sat, that’s all that life will return to you.
You won’t be noted for your qualities like
Rowan, but rather for your flaws. Your
name will be marked by whatever you do,
so do all well. You must also do the right
thing even when your leader is not around.
Don’t ask for a walk-through, just do what
you have to do. No one owes you a thing,
so you have to achieve success yourself.
It is indeed possible to be like Rowan,
and men like Rowan are in high demand.
The world is a very competitive place, es-
pecially with the economy like it is. He
sends the message that you should not
complain about your situation, or be dis-
gruntled, but rather do what you can to
improve the situation. In the statement “I
wish to speak a word of sympathy for the
manwhosucceeds —the manwho, against
great odds, has directed the efforts of oth-
ers, and having succeeded, finds there’s
nothing in it: nothing but bare board and
clothes,” the author explains that success
is achievable by anyone willing to go the
distance.
So in conclusion, I take this phrase with
me: “The world cries out for such: he is
needed and needed badly —the man who
can ‘Carry a Message to Garcia.’”

I have only been on board here for about
three months. And in my time here it has
been a very frustrating and confusing time
in my young career. It’s always tough to con-
stantly be wrong and always accept criticism
without being resentful. Today, specifically
I have been having a tough time because I
feel that I am doing quite well yet I feel that
it’s either underappreciated or neglected or
the praise was given to the next higher up
than me. And I wanted more than anything
to just give up and go into a corner and cry.
But I read “A Message to Garcia” and real-
ized that it’s not always about me or my
praise or what I need. And it shouldn’t al-
ways have to be that way. Yes, everyone de-
serves to be praised when they are doing what
is best. But that will not always happen.
What I took away from “A Message to
Garcia”is that it’s always best to give it your
all. You should always work to the best of
your ability even though you’re mad because
you feel as if you are always messing up. If
every person took it upon themselves to give
it their all in all times the world would prob-
ably go a lot smoother. And if any military
branch took it upon themselves to execute
any order that they were given, even if they
had no idea the reason, then there would
probably be a lot less “oops” and a lot less
“my bad’s.” And we should try to eliminate
as many mistakes as possible.
Rowan’s character in this article is exactly
how I want to be in my naval career. Rowan
was a man that under no real instruction did
exactly as he was asked. He went out and did
that job even though it was a huge risk to his
life and was a task that at first seemed quite
impossible. If I can strive to always do my
best and do as I am instructed no path that
I attempt will every come out the way I do
not wish. Rowan is a person that is hard to
find in society. Everyone wants to rebel, re-
sist, or do something they feel is better. I may
fail at times to be the way Rowan was but if
I constantly am fixing myself I will be better
than doing nothing at all.
Yes, I believe that it would be in the best
interest to follow all orders without gripe or
complaint. But it is also the responsibility to
our leaders to be sure that each and every
order that they issue is just and in the best
interest of the Navy. Any unconditional obe-
dience must come from an unconditional
command.
I want to strive daily to be the best Sailor
that I can be. I just hope that all my fellow
Sailors will join me in this task and strive to
be the best that they might be themselves. It
is up to all of us to do our best as well as
hold all other people accountable to be the
best and do their best as well.

The story of “A Message to
Garcia” is a very unique one,
given the fact that the story was
written in less than an hour after
the author’s son, Bert, comment-
ed at the dinner table on Wash-
ington’s birthday in 1899. The
story is about Rowan who took
initiative to deliver a letter to
Garcia; he was a general in the
Cuban army. Garcia took com-
mand of the rebellion against
Spanish rule. Years later the
Spanish-American war started.
At this time President McKinley
composed a message of support
to Garcia, and was advised that
a U.S. Army officer named Row-
an could be relied upon to de-
liver the message. Rowan ac-
cepted the task without
questioning it; he completed the
mission that contributed to the
eventual outcome of Spain’s de-
feat.
Rowan took initiative to de-
liver a letter to Garcia. To reflect
on this it is important to under-
stand what is initiative. Accord-
ing to Hubbard (1899), initiative
is doing the right thing without
being told. But next to doing the
thing without being told is to do
it when you are told once. Simi-
larly personal initiative is defined
as the individual’s taking an ac-
tive and self-starting approach
to work, and going beyond what
is formally required in a given
job (Lantz & Andersson, 2009).
A lesson that I learned years ago
was to have pride in your work;
the story also states that a man
who does his work when the boss
is away is to be praised. People
do not always get recognized or
rewarded for a good perfor-
mance, but having satisfaction
and pride in oneself ’s work pro-
vides a satisfaction that cannot
be purchased with money.
On the other hand, the story
describes different categories of
people. It stated that we have fel-
lows who will not do the right
thing even when someone goes
along to show him how to do it.
Initiative is important. Some
take initiative to do more and
some do not. Proactive behavior
is defined as “taking initiative in
improving current circumstanc-
es or creating new ones; it in-
volves challenging the status quo
rather than passively adapting to
present conditions” (Lantz &
Andersson, 2009). Society is one
long, anxious search for just such
individuals. The story makes it
clear why this attitude is cher-
ished and needed in every work-
place.
Rowan accepted the task with-
out questioning it. This type of
attitude and behavior has re-
warded many people including
myself. The story is a good re-
minder that not everyone gets
recognized or rewarded for their
actions nor should they be ex-
pected to get rewarded. This is a
reminder that we must have ini-
tiative and pride in our work.

“You see that bookkeeper,” said the foreman to me in a large factory. “Yes, what about him?”
“Well he’s a fine accountant, but if I’d send him up town on an errand, he might accomplish
the errand all right, and on the other hand, might stop at four saloons on the way, and when
he got to Main Street, would forget what he had been sent for.” Can such a man be entrusted
to carry a message to Garcia?

FARMERS MARKET
enchilada sauce from scratch.
Not me. I use canned sauce
and doctor it up.
You can assemble them the
day before — just don’t add
the remaining sauce on top;
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cans (10 ounces each) medium
enchilada sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 canned chipotle chili in adobo
sauce
spread 1 cup of the sauce.
Working with 1 tortilla at a time
quickly fry (about 10 seconds)
in the skillet to make it pliable
Using tongs, dip the tortilla
quickly in the sauce to coat and
place in the pan. Spoon 1/3 cup
The whole enchilada

These beef enchiladas can be assembled in advance and then quickly baked when a fast dinner is needed.
Anne Kallas / Special to The Star
The Moorpark College
farmers market had
few booths and fewer
customers on a recent
Saturday, despite closure
of the High Street market.
Moorpark vendor
venues are dormant
Two markets just miles
apart in Moorpark seemed
overly ambitious for a rela-
tively small community.
Kerry Clasby appar-
ently feels the same way,
because as of the second
week in November, the
High Street farmers mar-
ket is closed.
“I’m hoping to find a
better location, closer to
the 118 to draw better
crowds, where I can re-
open in March,” she said.
Unfortunately for Moor-
park, the farmers market
at Moorpark College is
also struggling. On a re-
cent Saturday, there were
only eight booths offering
goods for sale.

reading a book while she
waited for customers at
the Green Farms booth
out of Lompoc, said busi-
ness “is not very good.”
Karen Schott of the
Ventura County Certified
Farmers’ Market Associa-
tion recently announced
the Moorpark market was
granted an extension to
its temporary use permit,
keeping it open through
the holiday season, which
it is hoped will attract
shoppers from Thousand
Oaks, where the farmers
market is closed for the
holidays.

WINE 101
I
t’s not hard to pair
some meals with wine.
A cabernet sauvignon
goes great with a big,
juicy steak. A Chianti
works with almost any
tomato-based Italian dish.
Shellfish and chardonnay
are made for each other.
But what
wine do
you select
for your
upcoming
Thanks-
giving
dinner?
What
wine do
you dare
try to pair
with your
Thanksgiving turkey and/
or ham?
My answer is a
Beaujolais Nouveau from
France.
Beaujolais Nouveau is
a red wine made from the
gamay grape in the French
region of Burgundy. This
is the only subregion in
Burgundy where anything
other than pinot noir and
g
produced worldwide.
Welcome
France to
your table
for holiday
Russ
Briley
Easy make-ahead
entree is a quick
holiday season fix
