Q: Is it authorized to display Gay Pride items in
the workplace, where there are military, civilians
and contractors?
A: Thank you for allowing me to address this
question. As you may know, June was Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month,
and this year, the Department of Defense joined the
White House and federal agencies across the nation
in celebrating the contributions of LGBT Americans
around the world.
Each workplace has requirements regarding
what private items can be displayed, depending on
the visibility of the space and the needs of the mis-
sion. Items of personal pride or significance that
would not offend a reasonable person are generally
permissible. For example, I have in my office a dis-
play of command coins, family photos and models
of aircraft I’ve flown. Others have artwork their
children have crafted or medals from marathons
they have completed.
Displaying items of cultural pride, including
LGBT pride items like the six-colored rainbow
pride flag, is in line with the Navy’s mission to
promote and celebrate the diversity of our mili-
tary and civilian forces. The proud history of the
United States and its military is written in the ink
of our shared struggles to obtain and maintain our
national freedoms and build our strength through
acceptance and partnerships. Celebrating diversity
is one way to acknowledge and re-enforce that ac-
ceptance.
Do you have questions, comments or sugges-
tions? I want to hear them! Reach me here by
emailing [email protected], on Facebook at
www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty or on
Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia. You
can also go online to our homepage at http://cnic.
navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and use the Command-
ing Officer’s Suggestion Box. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Can Gay Pride items be displayed in the workplace?w

Goat isn’t a staple on California menus,
but it’s a popular dish in the Virgin Islands
— and that helped Navy retiree Wayne
Thomas win the Taste From Around the
World.
The cooking competition with an inter-
national flavor was put on last month for
the first time by the commissary at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme.
Thomas, who lived on St. Thomas until
he joined the Navy in 1977, served curried
goat, jerk chicken, rice and beans and fried
plantains to win the July 30 competi-
tion.
His dreadlocks and Caribbean music
helped him edge out Builder 1st Class
Cresencio Estrada of Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion 3 and his wife, Bev-
erly. Taking on the cuisine of the Philip-
pines, the couple served beef adobo, pork
adobo and Bilo-Bilo, a dessert made of
coconut milk cooked with mixed fruit.
Thomas won $75 in gift cards, and the
Estradas won $50.
Judges were Cmdr. Terry Dermody, op-
erations officer at NBVC, and Shelley
Danforth, the district manager for Advan-
tage Sales, a broker for commissary prod-
ucts. Their judging was based on taste,
presentation and display, and the unique-
ness of attire.
Dermody was familiar with goat dishes,
having spent time in Puerto Rico and else-

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
will test lead levels in drinking water
sources at child care facilities across the
installation in August, in line with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
recommendation for all child care fa-
cilities nationwide. This is not in re-
sponse to a specific health concern, but
is instead the result of a new Navy pol-
icy.
The new policy requires that drinking
water sources at child care facilities be
tested every five years with annual up-
dates; NBVC is establishing a baseline
for these tests in August.
Water sources are tested frequently
across the installation to ensure NBVC’s
drinking water is safe. This testing is in
addition to, rather than in place of, that
periodic testing standard.
Parents with children enrolled in youth
programs or child care at NBVC will be
notified by letter regarding the testing,
and results will be posted at each facil-
ity approximately three months after the
samples are taken.
For more information, including a fact
sheet regarding lead testing, or to see
the annual water quality report, visit
www.cnic.navy.mil/ventura.

military personnel, retirees and vet-
erans in touch with services they
might need — health care, higher
education, social organizations, em-
ployment agencies and others.
The Air National Guard Band is
scheduled to perform.

Abby’s got nothing on Joe Escalante.
The real-life NCIS agent at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) — a self-admit-
ted nerd — drew a crowd at the Tuesday,
Aug. 5, National Night Out as he showed
how to turn fingerprints into evidence.
Using green powder, red powder, oblique
lighting or infrared, he showed how to
locate prints, lift them and save them for
identification and for use as evidence in
criminal cases.
“He’s our version of Abby,” said other
agents with the Naval Criminal Investiga-
tive Service, referring to lab tech Abby
Sciuto, played by Pauley Perrette on the
CBS hit drama, “NCIS.”
Escalante isn’t a lab tech. Like all agents,
he’s been trained in fingerprinting, as well
as firearms, photography and dozens of
other aspects of criminal investigation.
But he leans toward the science — and
he’s good at it.
“Joe’s the master,” other agents said as
Escalante collected another set of
prints.
NCIS had one of a dozen booths set up
at National Night Out, an event held in
hundreds of cities all over the United
States. It’s where neighbors can meet each
other and local law enforcement and fire
protection personnel, pick up safety tips
and learn about local crime trends.
This year’s event at NBVC Port Huen-
eme featured fire truck and Force Protec-
tion Humvee displays, military working
dog demonstrations, Community Emer-
gency Response Teams (CERTs) and a
dunk tank. Booths were also set up by the
Fleet & Family Support Center and the
veterinarian clinic on base.
Chief Master-at-Arms Rowland Whit-
tington taunted those who passed by the
dunk tank, daring them to give it a try.
His 11-year-old daughter happily
obliged, and Whittington ended up in the
water. He would spend a lot of time there
before the night was over.
Sgt. Art Wotruba of NBVC Force Pro-
tection said that while much of the infor-
mation at National Night Out is geared
toward adults, the key is to get children
to the event.
“I think of it as winning their hearts
and minds,” he said. “Here, we can show
the younger generation of kids that law
enforcement isn’t bad, that we’re here to
help, that we don’t just show up when
something’s wrong or something’s bad.”

Hueneme. Rhianen, who is wearing special glasses that also can be used to help locate
fingerprints, is the daughter of Marianna and NBVC’s MAC Rowland Whittington.

Back-to-school season has arrived
— and with it comes a reminder to all
drivers to watch for children walking and
bicycling to school and waiting curbside
for the school bus.
Parents should also take the time to
talk to their children about safety. Here
are some tips from Safe Kids USA, the
Department of Transportation and the
American Academy of Pediatrics.
• When backing out of a driveway or
leaving a garage, watch out for children
walking or bicycling to school.
• When driving in neighborhoods with
school zones, watch out for young peo-
ple who may be thinking about getting
to school, but may not be thinking of
getting there safely.
• Be alert. Children arriving late for
the bus or school may dart into the street
without looking for traffic.
• Learn the flashing light signal system
that school bus drivers use to alert mo-
torists of pending actions. Yellow flash-
ing lights indicate that the bus is prepar-
ing to stop to load or unload children.
Motorists should slow down and prepare
to stop. Red flashing lights and extend-
ed stop arms indicate that the bus has
stopped and that children are getting on
or off. Motorists must stop their cars
and wait until the red light stops flash-
ing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn
and the bus begins moving.
• If a pedestrian is at any point in a
yellow crosswalk, drivers may not pass
through the crosswalk, even when it ap-
pears to be safe.
• All passengers should wear a seat
belt and/or an age- and size-appropriate
car safety seat or booster seat.
• Your child should ride in a belt-po-
sitioning booster seat until the vehicle’s
seat belt fits properly — usually when
the child reaches about 4-foot-9 and is
between 8 to 12 years of age. This means
that the child is tall enough to sit against
the vehicle seat back with his legs bent
at the knees and feet hanging down; the
shoulder belt lies across the middle of
the chest and shoulder, not the neck or
throat; and the lap belt is low and snug
across the thighs, not the stomach.
• All children younger than 13 years
should ride in the rear seat of a vehicle.
If you must drive more children than
can fit in the rear seat — when carpool-
ing, for example — move the front-seat
passenger’s seat as far back as possi-
ble.

newsletter. The NBVC school liaison officer
can be contacted at 805-989-5211 or
[email protected] for any K-12 education-
related issues.
Reminder to drivers: Watch for students
• Don’t use the toilet as an ash-
tray or wastebasket. Every time
you flush a cigarette butt, facial
tissue or other small bit of trash,
five to seven gallons of water is
wasted.
• Check your toilets for leaks. Put
a little food coloring in your toilet
tank. If, without flushing, the col-
or begins to appear in the bowl
within 30 minutes, you have a leak
that should be repaired immedi-
ately. Most replacement parts are
inexpensive and easy to install.
• Replacing an 18-liter per flush
toilet with an ultra-low volume
(ULV) 6-liter flush model repre-
sents a 70 percent savings in water
flushed and will cut indoor water
use by about 30 percent.
— For more information on
these and other water- and energy-
saving ideas, contact A. Peter
Shack, Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) resource efficiency
manager, at 805-982-2842.

Worship schedule
It seems but a short time ago we were
in the field for our Field Training Exer-
cise, getting qualified for our next de-
ployment. Now more than half of Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion 4 has
deployed, and the rest will follow soon.
I have seen off each movement as they
have left for deployment, and the same
mix of emotions is present every time.
There are always those who are brand
new to the Navy and have never been on
a deployment; they are often filled with
a mixture of excitement and fear of the
unknown. Then there are those who have
been around awhile, have gotten used to
saying goodbye to loved ones and handle
the day of departure much like any oth-
er day of work. It never fails that there
are also those who are simply struggling
with leaving behind hearth and home and
the prospect of enduring six months or
more without the company of their loved
ones.
There are many reasons why one might
find themselves in this latter group.
Sometimes there is a slow pileup of re-
lationship difficulties, financial problems
or undealt-with emotional trauma from
previous combat tours. Deployment is
hard enough when one’s personal life,
finances and relationships are healthy
and strong. When any or all of those
elements are out of order, the pressure
of a deployment can easily become the
straw that breaks the camel’s back.
It is to those who sense such hopeless-
ness and brokenness that Jesus address-
es the following: “Come to me, all who
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and
learn from me, for I am gentle and low-
ly in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For my yoke is easy, and my bur-
den is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).
That is the kind of invitation that a
weary person can appreciate, but it also
contains quite a challenge. It is an invita-
tion to exchange burdens, not to become
burden-free.
The idea of having a yoke put upon a
person is intended to create the image of
an ox being hooked up to a plow that is
then pulled through a field in order to
till the ground for planting. That is, ad-
mittedly, a strange metaphor to use when
what you are offering is rest to weary
souls. However, the assurance is that the
burden Jesus will lay upon those who
come to him for rest is light and easy,
and preferable to whatever currently bur-
dens them. What is held out is that ex-
changing what currently burdens them
for the burden that Jesus will lay upon
them will actually bring them rest.
To be sure, there are many other offers
of rest and peace from the perspectives
of other religions, philosophies and
world views, but I can only speak expe-
rientially. What I can say from that ex-
perience is that I have found that Jesus’
invitation is genuine.
For those who are weary and heavy
laden — whether it be from deployments,
relationships or just the everyday stress-
ors of life — it is well worth taking him
up on his offer.
Finding rest when you’re burdened and deploying

Nearly twice as large as last year’s in-
augural event, the 2014 Gospel Explosion
had people dancing at their seats Saturday,
Aug. 9, outside the Seabee Chapel at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
Students from the Naval Construction
Training Center performed, along with
One Nation, a gospel group made up
mostly of Seabees with Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 3.
Twin sisters Shakita and CECN Sha-
quile Read of NMCB 3 mimed a sermon
by T.D. Jakes and a gospel song by Youth-
ful Praise.
Choirs from local churches also per-
formed.
BU2 Courtney Russ of NMCB 3, who
organized last year’s event and helped with
this one, said the effort was fulfilling.
“It’s an amazing time,” she said. “You
really feel the spirit.”
Lt. Lesa Welliver, staff chaplain,
agreed.
“What a blessing it is to see people open
their hearts and share this joy of com-
munity, of coming together as one,” she
said.

Yellow bins to collect non-per-
ishable foods during this time of
year when food banks are stretched
thin have been set up all across Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC)
for the Feds Feed Families cam-
paign.
Last year, the federal campaign
brought in 9 million pounds of
food in the three-month summer
program. The Navy contributed 1.2
million pounds of the 1.8 million
pounds that came from the Depart-
ment of Defense.
This year bins are located at:
• NBVC Port Hueneme: Person-
nel Support Detachment (PSD),
Fleet & Family Support Center;
near the pharmacy at the Naval
Branch Health Clinic; dental of-
fice; Naval Construction Group 1
and the Seabee Chapel.
• NBVC Point Mugu: Bldg. 1 and
the Navy Exchange.

Once again, Seabees from Naval Base
Ventura County helped with the annual
Ventura County Stand Down, a place
where homeless veterans can get a meal,
legal services, medical care, employment
services or simply a place to sleep for a
couple of nights.
More than 110 homeless veterans vis-
ited this year’s event, held July 25-27 at
the California National Guard Armory
in Ventura.
Claire Hope has been hosting the Ven-
tura County Stand Down for 22 years,
and for those 22 years Seabees have always
helped.
“We do this every year to show the less
fortunate veterans that we do care,” Hope
said.
“Stand down” is a term used throughout
the military when service members break
from normal operations to train, relax or
catch up with medical and administrative
obligations.
“John F. Kennedy said, ‘Ask not what
your country can do for you, ask what you
can do for your country,’” Hope said.
“Now they’ve done for their country, and
what can we do for them?”
During the event, more than 300 volun-
teers provided meals, security, medical
care, optometric and dental care, legal
services, showers and haircuts to veterans.
They also received clothing, food and hy-
giene products donated by churches, busi-
ness sponsors, private citizens and other
charitable organizations.
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 sent more than 30 Seabees to
set up the 12 tents for the veterans to sleep
in during the event. The tent area was
called Seabee Camp Hope.
“It’s a small thing to do for a great pur-
pose,” said Equipment Operator 1st Class
Bill Draper. “It took us only a few hours
to set the tents up, and it was time well
spent.”
Seabees from the Naval Facilities Engi-
neering and Expeditionary Warfare Cen-
ter (NAVFAC EXWC) and its Mobile
Utilities Support Equipment (MUSE)
volunteered to set up the cots and helped
staff the event.
One of the MUSE Seabees spent the
entire weekend at the event as a tent cap-
tain.
“We wake the guys up and make sure
they get a shower, some food, fresh clothes
and then guide them to the services they
need,” said Steelworker 1st Class Shawn
Herr, who also coordinated the volunteers
from MUSE and NAVFAC EXWC.
Herr said he enjoyed hearing the veter-
ans’ stories from their service days.
“It’s been a rewarding experience,” he
said.
“The Seabees are wonderful,” Hope
said. “They are always so helpful and are
a big part of making this happen.”

Sydney Ayres played him in a 1911 silent
movie.
Angus Macfadyen played him opposite
Richard Chamberlain in a 2006 TV mov-
ie.
Peter Ustinov played his ghost in 1968.
And this year, Nathanael Price played
Blackbeard on the Station Theater stage
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu.
Nathanael and his younger brother, Wil-
liam, were among the 19 youngsters in first
through 12th grades taking part in the Mis-
soula Children’s Theater’s (MCT) two per-
formances of “Blackbeard the Pirate”
Friday, July 25.
The noon and 3 p.m. performances,
which more than 100 people attended, came
after Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
rehearsals at the Needham Theater at
NBVC Port Hueneme. Auditions were
Monday.
It was a lot to learn in a week, but the
MCT has this down. Every summer, 43
teams head out to bases around the world
to spend five days teaching the basics of
performing arts to children of military
families.
“It’s the greatest job in the world,” said
Alex Kowalchik, who traveled to NBVC
with Kristin Gilbert.
This was the first time NBVC has hosted
MCT. The Montana-based group is the
largest children’s touring theater in the
world.
“We offer music and sports here, but no
theater arts,” explained Jacob Munyon, the
installation program director for Child and
Youth Programs. “We figured this was
something we could do to offer this to the
kids who need it, to those who are truly
interested or think they might be.”
Munyon was astonished by the talent he
saw at the auditions.
“It was amazing to watch these kids try
out during the auditions and watch the dif-
ferent spin each one had,” he said. “These
kids really wanted to participate.”
Gilbert said that’s one of the joys of her
job.
“On stage, these kids are free to be who
they really are,” she said, “and we get to
see that. The shy one in school? Here, he
can be whatever he wants.”
Theater also teaches responsibility, re-
spect and the importance of teamwork,
Kowalchik said.
The youngsters memorized their parts,
but they had help. By rehearsing scenes bit
by bit, over and over — the “building
blocks approach,” as Kowalchik called it
— they learned to recognize cues that
would trigger the memorized lines.
Kowalchik also encouraged them to “go
through these lines 500 times in your
brains” and to work on volume.
“Louder!” he’d call out during rehearsals.
“Louder! Say it even louder!”
For many of the youngsters, “Blackbeard
the Pirate” served as an introduction to
theater arts. Others, like the Price boys, had
some experience. They’d taken part in an
MCT production in Italy when their dad,
Cmdr. Nate Price, the operations officer of
Naval Facilities Engineering and Expedi-
tionary Warfare Center, was stationed
there.
Gina Duncan, whose husband is a retired
commander, brought her 9-year-old twins,
Allysha and Annika, to the daily rehears-
als.
“It’s fun for them,” she said. “It’s their
first time on stage, and I thought they’d
like it. They wake up early and look for-
ward to rehearsals. It’s a good experi-
ence.”
Munyon said he’s hoping this is a start
of a new NBVC tradition.
“We’re definitely looking forward to next
year,” he said.

Forty years after underwater construc-
tion teams (UCTs) officially became a part
of the U.S. Navy, the Seabee Museum at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme unveiled an exhibit about these
unique military units and the Seabees who
serve in them.
Capt. Joseph F. Alling was the guest
speaker at the July 19 ribbon-cutting,
which four plankholders attended. Among
them was Tom Melugin, who now volun-
teers as a docent at the museum and who
was selected to cut the ribbon leading into
the exhibit.
Alling described the Navy’s UCTs as
“agile, efficient and highly effective
units.”
The diving Seabees perform tasks all
over the world, including repairing piers,
laying cable, clearing channels and con-
ducting demolitions and search-and-res-
cue operations.
UCT-2 is homeported at NBVC Port
Hueneme; UCT-1 is homeported at Little
Creek, Virginia.
The Seabee Museum exhibit features
diving suits, equipment and tools used by
these teams throughout their 40-year his-
tory.
“Hey, my dive knife made it!” UCT-2’s
Senior Chief Equipment Operator Emo-
ry Cole exclaimed as he peered into a dis-
play featuring a 15-foot rubber boat used
to reach dive sites and the equipment such
a boat would normally carry.
“We definitely still use this stuff,” he
said.
Tom Christensen, who served as the of-
ficer in charge at UCT-2 from 1980 to
1982, peered closely at a dive helmet and
recalled the switchover to superlight ver-
sions.
“A team delivered a truckload of them
on a Friday afternoon,” he recalled. “It
was like Christmas.”
The older models whistled, and divers’
ears would ring for an hour or more after
a dive was over. Moreover, they couldn’t
hear.
“Today we have divers talking with
crane operators,” Christensen said. “We
couldn’t do that back then.”
Christensen spent some time talking
with Ensign Abigail Chek, a student at
the Civil Engineering Corps Officers
School who wants to become a diver.
“This is awesome, very well put-togeth-
er,” Chek said of the displays. “It’s so good
to have this connection with past genera-
tions.”
Alvin Calvert rode his motorcycle from
Virginia Beach to attend the opening of
the exhibit.
“It’s pretty impressive,” said the UCT-2
plankholder who served in the Navy for
22 years before going into private indus-
try.
Calvert explained that Seabees who
serve in these units learn their construction
skills on land, then use them underwa-
ter.
It’s a dangerous job, he said: “Your life
depends on the guy you’re with. You re-
ally develop a camaraderie. It creates a
bond.”
Frank Blazich, the museum’s historian,
wrote an article for last month’s Seabee
Online that traced the roots of the
UCTs.
He said the units were born in the late
1960s, “amidst the converging threads of
the space race, emerging technologies,
ocean facilities and a yearning to conquer
the last frontiers of the ocean’s depths.”
Two missions led to their formation,
Blazich said.
The first was Project Tektite I, in which
four “aquanauts” lived continuously for
two months in an underwater habitat in
Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin
Islands. Some of those attending the rib-
bon-cutting had been involved with Tek-
tite.
This project was followed by the instal-
lation of underwater sound arrays and
underwater cables off the Bahamas and
Azores in the early 1970s.
Both, Blazich wrote, “crystalized the
permanence of Seabee underwater con-
struction capability.”
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony,
UCT-2 hosted an open house and barbe-
cue at the dive locker. The Seabees brought
out their dive tank so wetsuit-clad divers
could play tic-tac-toe with youngsters on
the other side of the glass. They also had
their transportable recompression cham-
ber on display.
More than anything, it gave generations
of divers another chance to swap stories
and live up to one of Alling’s state-
ments:
“It’s amazing to see what their contribu-
tion was and how much they accom-
plished.”

About 100 distinguished guests observed
the Department of Defense’s largest live-
fly, live-fire counter-unmanned systems
demonstration Aug. 5 at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu and
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Divi-
sion (NAWCWD) Sea Range.
The joint military exercise, known as
Black Dart, began July 27 and ended Aug.
8. About 1,250 military, academic and
industry participants gathered at Point
Mugu for this annual technology demon-
stration led by the Joint Integrated Air
and Missile Defense Organization (JI-
AMDO). This was also the first time me-
dia were invited to cover parts of the
demonstration.
According to Lt. Cmdr. Shane Tanner,
JIAMDO Black Dart project officer from
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this year’s event
focused on unmanned aerial systems.
“We brought together the [military] ser-
vices, industry and research facilities in a
live-fly, live-fire, operationally relevant
environment,” said Tanner, who has been
involved with Black Dart since 2012. “This
enabled us to accelerate the process of
developing material and non-material so-
lutions to warfighter capability gaps since
the feedback mechanism between the op-
erator and the system developer is near
instantaneous. While Black Dart focused
on the counter-unmanned systems mis-
sion, we selected and pursued technologies
that are applicable across the entire range
of integrated air and missile defense
(IAMD) requirements. We assessed sys-
tems and concepts that can perform mul-
tiple roles within IAMD joint engagement
sequence.”
Tanner noted that all branches of the
U.S. military were represented, as well as
joint allies.
“This was the largest and most complex
Black Dart to date,” Tanner said. “This
year we hosted 1,250 DoD, interagency,
international and industry partners. More
than 80 systems participated, composed
of linked operations centers, active and
passive sensors, military aircraft, naval
ships, as well as kinetic and non-kinetic
engagement systems.”
JIAMDO provides joint perspective and
analysis to solve the warfighters’ air and
missile defense needs. The goal is to secure
a full spectrum of affordable, integrated
capabilities. The Black Dart exercise al-
lows defensive, offensive, cyber warfare,
directed energy and electronic attack tech-
nologies to be tested and demonstrated.
“Black Dart 2014 appears to have had
another year of remarkable success,” said
Dr. Ron Smiley, NAVAIR’s national direc-
tor for avionics. “They brought the mili-
tary, industrial, academic and technical
community together to demonstrate and
evaluate new concepts in counteracting
aerial unmanned vehicles.”
According to Smiley, a great benefit for
all attendees was establishing new relation-
ships that can be leveraged to link orga-
nizations and share information.

“I was particularly impressed to see in-
creased hands-on participation by the mili-
tary services’ operational personnel in Black
Dart,” he said. “This year’s focus on test
experiments centered on non-kinetic (elec-
tronic) capabilities. The feedback I received
during the Black Dart Distinguished Visitor
Day was extremely positive.”
Rear Adm. Mat Winter, program execu-
tive officer for Unmanned Aviation and
Strike Weapons, also made observations
about the Black Dart demonstration.
“Black Dart continues to be an incredible
opportunity to bring industry, academia, the
warfighter and our acquisition forces to-
gether,” he said. “Black Dart has become
the premier UAS technology demonstration
event allowing us to inject state-of-the-art
technologies into realistic operational sce-
narios.”
Winter, former NAWCWD commander,
is familiar with the facilities at Point
Mugu.
“Demonstrations like this help us ensure
our warfighters and coalition partners retain
the technological edge to accomplish their
missions,” Winter said. “Additionally, we get
to take advantage of the intellectual capital
and the labs and facilities here at NAWCWD
Point Mugu, China Lake and San Nicolas
Island. There truly is no other place to ef-
fectively execute such a large, diverse tech-
nology demonstration like Black Dart.”

The sound of gleeful youngsters
drowned out barking sea lions as about
40 children and spouses of military and
Defense Department employees who live
and work on San Nicolas Island (SNI)
flew out for a weekend visit last month.
Many of them were seeing for the first
time where and how their loved ones spend
most of their time away from home.
The island, located 65 miles southwest
of Point Mugu, is part of Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) and is located with-
in the Sea Test Range. It is highly restrict-
ed due to the missile testing done there
and because of the missile launchers and
telemetry and radar facilities that dot its
landscape. Families are not allowed, nor
are pets.
About 100 people live and work on the
island at any one time, although numbers
have been higher in recent months because
contractors have been adding and upgrad-
ing some of the facilities. There are ac-
commodations for 220.
One weekend a year, children and spous-
es can usually visit, although last year’s
event did not take place due to funding
issues.
Karen Brayden was especially thankful
that Family Weekend was back on this
year’s calendar.
“We got the chance to show the kids
where Daddy’s been the last two years,”
she said.
Brayden’s spouse is Lt. Cmdr. Thomas
Brayden, the officer-in-charge on the is-
land. Joining them were their daughter
Taylor, 6, and sons Meyer, 7, and Ryland,
3.
Upon landing, they and the other fam-
ilies learned immediately that Nick Town
is the hub of the 3-by-9-mile island. That’s
where all accommodations are, along with
the galley, chapel, fitness center, indoor
swimming pool, indoor basketball court,
theater, lounge and a ship’s store. The pro-
ceeds from that store pay for Family Week-
end.
This year’s event began with a safety
briefing Friday, July 25, in the theater. The
key message: Don’t leave Nick Town after
5 p.m.
The island is rugged, Brayden explained,
and most visitors aren’t used to the intense
darkness that shrouds the island at night.
The combination can be fatal.
Another warning: Conserve water when-
ever possible.
Water for SNI is supplied by a reverse
osmosis plant that separates the brine
from seawater and delivers potable water
to Nick Town.
“Water is at a premium,” Brayden told
the visitors. “It’s very precious, so do ev-
erything you can to conserve it.
“I spend a lot of time worrying about
water.”
After the briefing, “Rio 2” was shown
in the theater.
Saturday included an island hike in the
morning, fire-truck tours and kite-flying
at lunch, tidepools in the afternoon and
a showing of “The Amazing Spider-Man
2” in the theater that evening.
Sunday, families were driven out to a
50-foot dune, where youngsters and adults
went sand-surfing. That was followed by
a drive to the pier, where families could
look down on the dozens of California
sea lions wallowing and barking on the
beach. The weekend closed out with a
spaghetti feed, a rousing game of bingo
and an ice cream social.
Waiting in the airport early Monday
morning for a flight back to NBVC Point
Mugu, Hospital Corpsman 1st Class
Alorah Molina reflected on the week-
end, along with her 4-year-old daugh-
ter, Harleaux and 8-year-old son, Je-
mel.
Harleaux liked the sand dune, and
Jemel was happy he won a video game
in bingo.
Molina was glad her children got to
see where she works, meet her co-work-
ers and share — even if it was just for
a weekend — the SNI lifestyle.
“It’s fun to see them enjoy what we
do,” she said.
Family Weekend on San Nicolas Island

San Nicolas Island, holds on tight as he soars
down the sand dune on the island.

exuberant game of ping-pong during San Nicolas Island Family Weekend.
Harleaux Molina, 4, enjoys the indoor pool on
San Nicolas Island during Family Weekend. Her
mom, HM1 Alorah Molina, has been on the island
for about 10 months. “I like it,” she said. “It’s
quiet.”

Something was missing from the tide-
pools.
There were black mussels, spiky sea ur-
chins, slimy sea slugs. The soft tentacles
of sea anemone waved in the tide. Endan-
gered black abalone clung to the rocks.
But where were the vibrant colors that
had made the tidepools so beautiful in past
years? Where were the sea stars?
Marine biologist John Ugoretz had
challenged the visitors to the San Nicolas
Island (SNI) tidepools over Family Week-
end to find a sea star.
“Come get me if you see one,” he told
them. “I need to take a picture of it.”
After nearly an hour, he’d taken two
photos. Kaylee Wilson, 7, a guest of Ty
Lawson, who works on the Sea Test Range,
had found one; so had Ugoretz’s 8-year-
old daughter, Hattie.
The sea stars were small, but their very
presence astonished Ugoretz.
“Ten to 15 years ago, they were every-
where,” he said. “But in one month, I went
from counting 70 to 80 sea stars in one
hour, to counting none.”
San Nicolas Island isn’t the only place
where ochre sea stars have disappeared.
And without the mottled oranges, purples,
yellows and reds of those creatures, tide-
pools all along the Pacific Ocean have lost
some of their vibrance.
Sea star wasting syndrome was first no-
ticed in June of 2013 in Washington state.
Reports began coming in from Alaska,
then Oregon, then California. The Uni-
versity of California, Santa Cruz, moni-
tors the intertidal trends in the Pacific,
and noted this on July 29 of this year:
“Sea stars along much of the North
American Pacific coast are dying in great
numbers from a mysterious wasting syn-
drome,” the website states. “As yet the
cause of the syndrome is unidentified, and
it’s not clear whether it’s due to an envi-
ronmental change, disease or something
else. Similar die-offs have occurred before
in the 1970s, ‘80s, and the ‘90s, but never
before at this magnitude and over such a
wide geographic area.”
The progression over the past year has
been so severe, the group notes, that now,
“we are now moving into a new phase in
the assessment of sea star wasting: the
ecological consequences from the loss of
these species.”
The tidepools on SNI still yielded beau-
tiful sights, and many called the visit their
favorite part of the weekend — even with-
out the stars of the show.
“While we only found a couple sea stars,
it is good to see that at least a few have
survived,” Ugoretz said. “Hopefully these
will be the foundation of a new healthy
population in the coming years.”

ing disease, see http://www.eeb.ucsc.edu/

star-wasting/index.html
Seeing stars? Not at these SNI tidepools
This photo of a sea star was taken during Family
Weekend of 2011, when dozens of the animals
could be found in the tidepools of San Nicolas
Island. During this year’s Family Weekend, marine
biologist John Ugoretz challenged the group to
find a sea star; only two were found. All along
the U.S. Pacific coastline, the animals have been
disappearing.
Meyer Brayden, 7, makes his way across the
tidepools at San Nicolas Island. Meyer is the
son of Karen and Lt. Cmdr. Thomas Brayden, the
officer-in-charge of the island.

U.S. commitment, develop enduring
relationships and improve host nation
engineering capacity and infrastruc-
ture,” said Cmdr. Jeff Lengkeek, com-
manding officer of NMCB 4.
While deployed, the battalion will
build warehouses, a teen center, gen-
erator facilities and other training and
operational facilities across Pacific and
Northern Commands to support Navy
and Marine Corps installations.
“Our Construction Civic Action De-
tail (CCAD) sites in Cambodia, Timor
Leste and the Philippines are tasked
with theater security cooperation and
community relations projects, which
include the building or improvement of
schools, clinics, maternity wards and
restroom facilities,” Lengkeek said.
Many of these activities have been
performed during military exercises and
training events that focus on building
relationships with the host country.
They promote interoperability with the
coalition forces and provide U.S. forces
with peacetime and contingency ac-
cess.
“All of our deployed Seabees are fo-
cused on enhancing relationships with
our partner nations,” said Lengkeek. “At
our CCAD sites in Cambodia, Timor
Leste and the Philippines, we will focus
on military to military partnerships
through our projects and subject matter
expert exchanges. Our goal is to dem-
onstrate U.S. commitment and enhance
public infrastructure while building lo-
cal engineering capacity and strengthen-
ing U.S. and host country alliance.”

site first tapped for the mission, Joint Base
San Antonio-Lackland in Texas, is expect-
ed to suspend operations over the next few
weeks.
These developments are the result of the
Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices’ (HHS) recent announcement to sus-
pend the use of temporary shelters on
military bases to accommodate HHS’s un-
accompanied children mission.
In July, the Secretary of Defense autho-
rized the continued use of military facilities
by HHS through January 2015. A decrease
in the number of children crossing the bor-
der and increased internal HHS capacity to
support them made the use of the temporary
shelters on military installations unnecessary
at this time. Department of Defense facilities
will still be available to HHS for use through
Jan. 31, 2015, if needed.
Locally, HHS grantee Southwest Key is
preparing the facility for standby status,
including removing temporary food and
hygiene facilities.
Between June 6 and Aug. 7, 1,540 children
cycled through the facility at NBVC Port
Hueneme.

The Naval Facilities Engineering and
Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC
EXWC) completed oil spill response train-
ing at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort,
South Carolina, July 14-17.
The training was executed under the
NAVFAC Oil Spill Response Program and
provided Navy and Marine Corps Facil-
ity Response Team (FRT) personnel with
the requisite skills to quickly respond to
on-water oil spills.
“This course is essential for teaching
military, DoD civilian and contracted Port
Operations personnel what they’re re-
quired to know as FRT members, and
strategies for dealing with serious envi-
ronmental emergencies of this type,” said
Capt. Mark K. Edelson, commanding of-
ficer of NAVFAC EXWC.
“We’ve all seen the environmental dam-
age that results from large- and small-scale
oil spills,” Edelson added. “The Navy
places a high priority on being good stew-
ards of the environment, and preventive
classes such as these are an important part
of meeting that obligation.”
Although the course is primarily in-
tended for FRT leaders and team mem-
bers, it is also highly recommended for
facility spill management team members
who are assigned to the Incident Com-
mand System Operation and Planning
Section billets.
Successful completion of the course
certifies each student as a First Respond-
er Operation Level as required by the
Code of Federal Regulations for all per-
sonnel responding to an on-water oil
spill.
NAVFAC EXWC contracted training
is provided using EXWC procured oil spill
response, containment and recovery equip-
ment for waterfront facilities that manage
ship, boat, barge or other marine opera-
tions with a potential for oil and fuel spills.
EXWC also provides access to other oil
spill training, expertise and support as-
sociated with on-water oil spill response.

ticularly upset to be separated from her
re-enlisting father, Greenert jokingly cred-
ited himself as the reason for her tears.
Jokes aside, Greenert said, “This is why
we do what we do. This is why we
serve.”
Opening the all hands call with a current
events run-down, Greenert detailed some
of the many conflicts bubbling up around
the globe. Ukraine. Gaza. Libya. Instabil-
ity around the globe, answered at every
turn by the U.S. Navy, Greenert noted.
“We’re busy,” he said. “We’re in de-
mand.”
For most of the hour-long event, Green-
ert took questions from the floor, which
covered everything from contracting stan-
dards to tuition assistance requirements.
Yeoman 3rd Class Kwanza Coxbaker,
of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR)
55, opened the question and answer ses-
sion with a bang.
“I’m going to be the next CNO,” she
declared. “What do I need to do to take
your job?”
Noting that transitioning from enlisted
to officer and making CNO is not unprec-
edented — Adm. Mike Boorda enlisted
in the 1950s and became the 25th CNO
in 1994 — Greenert noted that hard work
and a “relentless” dedication to your goal
is necessary to accomplish anything. That
includes becoming CNO.
An ensign from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion 3 wanted to know how to
foster an ethical work environment for her
team.
“Example,” Greenert said. “You’ve got
to lead an ethical life. Define precisely
what your standards are, then live
them.”
He also addressed the changing land-
scape of naval warfare, addressing ques-
tions about drones, deployments and
drawdowns. Gaps at sea are a concern, he
said, but one the Navy is working dili-
gently to correct. As for the future, NBVC
is well positioned as a “big hub of future
capabilities,” Greenert said.
In addition to the all hands call, Green-
ert was here to gain a better understanding
of the support being provided to the De-
partment of Health and Human Services
(HHS) with unaccompanied children,
which included a tour of the facility at
Bldg. 267.
“What I saw was great cooperation with
no impact to our Navy missions,” Green-
ert said.
Last month, the Secretary of Defense
signed a memo extending Department of
Defense support to HHS through January
2015. HHS has since decided to temporar-
ily suspend the use of DoD facilities, cit-
ing increased internal capacity and re-
duced numbers of children crossing the
border. For more on this issue, see the
story on Page 1.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
We all want to accomplish things in our
lifetime, and setting goals is the most ef-
fective method for doing that. Writing
down those goals and keeping them visible
on a daily basis can keep you motivated
and inspired.
So how do you set your goals? I remem-
ber the first time my spouse deployed, I
told myself I would make the most out of
our time apart and set some goals for my-
self. I took a yellow legal pad and enthu-
siastically wrote out my goals, filling the
whole page, top to bottom. I wrote things
like, “Lose weight,” “Learn to play the
guitar,” “Try new recipes,” and on and on,
not realizing I was setting myself up for
failure. I never fully accomplished any of
the goals on my list because they were too
vague and too broad.
Thankfully, I found myself in a Fleet
and Family Support Center (FFSC) brief
centered on the idea of SMART goals.
SMART stands for Specific, Measure-
able, Action-oriented, Realistic and Time-
bound.
This technique was a game-changer for
me. You can use it with short- or long-term
goals and in any aspect of your life. No
more laundry list goals that go unful-
filled!
Many goals center on growing profes-
sionally. At the FFSC, we work with many
service members and families looking to
further their careers. We offer many class-
es and resources, but one of our most
popular events is our Fall Career Fair tak-
ing place at the Beehive Gym Sept. 17.
This is the perfect opportunity to prac-
tice some SMART career goals.
• Specific: A goal must be clearly under-
stood, and a specific goal spells out out-
comes. Example: “I will make successful
connections at the Fall Career Fair.”
• Measurable: This is the part of your
goal that is quantifiable. Example: “I will
bring 20 copies of my resume and talk to
a minimum of 10 employers.”
• Action-oriented: Exactly how will your
goal be accomplished? Describe tactical
steps. Example: “I will attend the next
Resume Writing Class at the FFSC and
follow up with a one-on-one appointment
to ensure my resume is perfect.”
• Realistic: Don’t set yourself up for
failure! “I will be offered a job as CEO of
a multibillion-dollar corporation on the
spot.” Is that a realistic goal?
• Time-bound: Your goal must have
some time constraints. Example: “I will
attend the Career Fair on Sept. 17 and
follow up with my contacts on Sept.
24.”
SMART goals are tried and true, and
by writing them down there is good chance
you will achieve whatever you set out to
do with ease and confidence.
For more information on the Fall Career
Fair or any of the free classes available at
the FFSC, call 805-982-5037.
