The track at the Bee-Hive Gym
at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme will close
Aug. 27 for a six-month renova-
tion to replace the grass in the
middle with artificial turf.
The $1.5 million project gets
under way at the same time work
is beginning again on the stalled
renovation of the Warfield Gym.
The Warfield is now expected to
reopen Jan. 31, 2013.
The Bee-Hive field is expected
to be available in March and will
include NCAA-regulationfootball
and soccer field markings on the
new turf.
“I know from personal experi-
ence that the grass field had issues
withgrading,”saidLt. Cmdr. Ward
Doss of the NBVC Public Works
Department, adding that gophers
were also a problem. “We will be
getting a much better field.”
Alternatives to the track, he
said, include the dirt track at
NBVC Point Mugu and the PRT
courses at both Mugu and Hue-
neme.
Alternatives to the field include
Pacific Park and Bolles Field, as
well as other, smaller fields scat-
tered around the base.
Work restarted Aug. 13 on the
$2.3 million renovation of the
Warfield Gym. Construction be-
gan in January but was halted in
March after unforeseen struc-
tural conditions were found,
along with some asbestos mate-
rial that is easily abated.
Doss said that at $140,000, the
cost of the additional work wasn’t
the problem — the delay came in
obtaining the funding because it
fell into a previous year’s bud-
get.
“This ended up being a five-
Track closing; work resumes on Warfield Gym

Question: What are the guidelines and policies for
selling a vehicle aboard base?
Answer: If you are an active duty or retired military
member in possession of a military ID card, you may
sell your vehicle aboard Naval Base Ventura County by
using personal vehicle sales lots.
There are two personal vehicle sales lots aboard
NBVC: one between the Navy Exchange Autoport and
complex at Point Mugu and another next to the gas sta-
tion at Port Hueneme. The Chief Petty Officers Associa-
tions (CPOAs) control these areas, as set out in NBVC
Instruction 5800.1B, and vehicles must first be cleared
through the appropriate CPOA before being placed in
one of the sales lots.
At Point Mugu, report to the billeting office in Bldg.
23 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through
Friday to fill out the appropriate registration forms. At
Port Hueneme, report to the Naval Construction Train-
ing Center’s CPOA representative, whom you can reach
at 982-3635. You must provide your current registra-
tion, proof of insurance and military ID to register your
vehicle.
The CPOA representative will review your request,
and if approved, you will be directed to park your car in
one of the lots with a Buyer Information Form signed by
the CPOA prominently displayed. Your registration will
have an expiration date, after which your car may be
towed. You can re-register the vehicle once, leaving it on
display for up to 60 days total.
This process takes a little time, but it helps us to
ensure that every vehicle on display is legally registered
and that sellers are the legal owners of the vehicles in
question. It also helps us cut down on resellers targeting
our Sailors by placing their merchandise for sale aboard
NBVC.
If you would like to see a copy of NBVC Instruction
5800.1B, contact your Installation Program Director or
command administrative staff for a copy.
Please continue to submit your questions and sugges-
tions through one of our many feedback options. Follow
us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVentu-
raCounty, submit your suggestions to my online Com-
manding Officer’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.
mil/Ventura/ or send an email to [email protected].

Aug. 31 is the deadline to register for
the 2012 Wounded Warrior Half-Mara-
thon, scheduled for Sept. 15 at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
Registration is through active.com. So
far, 485 people have signed up.
The half-marathon, which features a fast
and flat course, starts at 7:30 a.m. at the
Point Mugu Picnic Pavilion.
Also taking place that morning will be
the Wounded Warrior 5K run and the
Military Mile.
Cost for the half-marathon is $50 for
civilians and $35 for military.
The 5K is $25 for civilians and $15 for
the military, and the mile is $15 for civil-
ians and $10 for the military.
The half-marathon course will close at
noon, which allows competitors 4.5 hours
to complete the event. Walkers and par-
ticipants with strollers are welcome, pro-
vided they can complete the distance
within the allotted time. All participants
will receive a T-shirt and free barbecue
lunch after the race. Half-marathon par-
ticipants will also receive a finisher’s med-
al.
This event has grown each year since it
began in 2010. Proceeds support not only
the Wounded Warrior training camps held
at NBVC, but also adaptive sports equip-
ment on base, including a beach bike that
allows people with disabilities to get to
the ocean, an adaptive golf cart and a pool
lift at the NBVC Port Hueneme Aquatics
Center.
Half-marathon registration ends Aug. 31

Lighthouse
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
took part in the 29th Annual National
Night Out Tuesday, Aug. 7, by hosting
military working dog demonstrations and
displays by crime-fighting organizations at
NBVC Port Hueneme.
Force Protection, Federal Fire and the
Naval Criminal Investigative Service set up
booths alongside the track at the Bee-Hive
Gym, as did the Naval Branch Health
Clinic, the Coast Guard, Fleet & Family
Support Center, Lincoln Military Housing
and other family, safety and support pro-
grams.
The event began at 4 p.m. with Capt.
David Sasek, chief staff officer of the base,
climbing 75 feet upthe ladder of a fire truck
to unfurl the American flag.
Sasek’s 8-year-oldson, DJ, watchedfrom
the ground and said afterwards that he was
proud of his Dad.
“He used to be afraid of heights,” DJ
explained.
Told later what his son had said, Sasek
smiled.
“Don’t tell him, but I still am,” he said.
Demonstrations followed. Force Protec-
tion sent two officers in full protective gear
andlet youngsters swing away sothey could
learn how to best defend themselves.
The military working dogs put ona show,
and visitors checked out a DUI simulator,
often with shocking results.
EdBrickman, whose wife is Senior Chief
Career Counselor Fawn Brickman of Na-
val Mobile ConstructionBattalion3, found
himself driving on the wrong side of the
road 17 percent of the time he was behind
the wheel, even though the simulator stat-
ed his blood alcohol level was still below
the legal limit.
“I’m very surprised,” he said.
Martin Sizemore, NBVC’s police chief,
said the base is a relatively safe place but
that education about law enforcement
never hurts.
“Since there’s no tremendous crime ele-
ment here, we’re able to make this event
more family- and kid-oriented,” he said.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding of-
ficer of the base, echoed that.
“This is a safe community, but that re-
quires a lot of effort froma lot of people,”
he said. “It’s good for military families to
come out to see the many partnerships we
have that make that happen.”
Sizemore said most of the crimes he sees
on base are crimes of opportunity.
“People leave stuff out, and someone
comes by and runs across something that
isn’t secure — so it grows legs,” he said.
National Night Out is held on the first
Tuesday of August to increase awareness
about anti-crime efforts.
National Night Out highlights anti-crime efforts
The article on Page 32 of the Aug. 9
edition of The Lighthouse, “Navy
shines light on sexual assault, expands
services,” gave incorrect information
about alcohol use and allegations of
sexual assault. The article should have
stated: “We have to remember that a
person who is intoxicated may not be
legally capable of consent.”

By NFELC and 31st SRG Public Affairs
Ahistoric and rare dual change of com-
mand ceremony took place in front of
Seabees, government civilians, family
members and Ventura County commu-
nity leaders Aug. 7 to welcome the incom-
ing commanders and honor the outgoing
commander of the Naval Facilities Expe-
ditionary Logistics Center (NFELC) and
31st Seabee Readiness Group (31st
SRG).
Capt. John W. Korka, who commanded
both NFELCand 31st SRG, relinquished
command of NFELCto Capt. Brant Pick-
rell and 31st SRG to Capt. Dean Tufts.
The dual change of command is historic
as Korka is the last in a line of officers
who have commanded both NFELC and
the 31st SRG since 2003.
Prior to Oct. 6, 2000, the officers before
Korka commanded Construction Battal-
ion Center (CBC) Port Hueneme. The
functions of CBC and its responsibility
of equipping and training Seabees would
eventually lead to the standup of the 31st
SRG. Twelve years ago, CBC was pulled
under the umbrella of the commander at
Point Mugu, and both installations were
renamed Naval Base Ventura County. The
base is now commanded by Capt. Larry
Vasquez, who attended the ceremony.
The change of command took place on
the Seabee Parade Field that featured
more than 400 Seabees, a display of Seabee
construction equipment and vehicles and
the Navy Region Southwest Band from
San Diego.
Commander, Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing Command (NAVFAC) and Chief of
Civil Engineers Rear Adm. Christopher
Mossey presented Korka with the Legion
of Merit for leading NFELC and 31st
SRGin outfitting, training and mobilizing
Seabees and other expeditionary forces
into the 21st century.
Korka also served as the 30th Naval
Construction Regiment commanding of-
ficer for eight months, giving him respon-
sibility of Seabee operations throughout
the Pacific theater. Korka assumed com-
mand of both NFELC and 31st SRG in
June 2010.
Mossey and Rear Adm. Mark Handley,
commander, First Naval Construction
Division (1NCD) presided over the cere-
mony. Handley is the immediate superior
in command of 31st SRG.
“Momentarily, I will pass the flag to two
great captains,”said Korka, who is moving
to Norfolk, Va., where he will take over
as commander of Naval Facilities Engi-
neering Command Mid-Atlantic. “To the
men and women of both NFELCand 31st
SRG … I stand before you to simply say
thank you. It has been my honor to be
your commodore. New leaders, you are
all in very good hands.”
Tufts, who reports here from Naval Fa-
cilities Engineering Command Far East,
quipped that his son made him promise
to keep his speech under a minute. In ad-
dressing the Seabees and civilian person-
nel of his command for the first time, he
said: “I feel honored and humble, but
mostly proud. I hope to earn your trust
and respect in the weeks and years to
come.”
Pickrell, who also commands the NAV-
FAC Engineering Service Center at Port
Hueneme, wanted to keep his comments
short due to the dual changes of command
and said, “Men and women, I am deeply
humbled to be your commanding officer.
I promise to give you my full energy.”
Seabees fromNFELC, 31st SRG, Naval
Mobile Construction Battalions 4, 5 and
40 and Underwater Construction Team 2
participated in the ceremony.

VR-55
The “Minutemen”of Fleet Lo-
gistics Squadron (VR) 55 held a
change of command ceremony
July 14 in the squadron’s hangar
bay at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Point Mugu.
More than 250 squadron per-
sonnel and guests were on hand
to bid fair winds and following
seas to Cmdr. Alastair Mac-
Gregor and welcome Cmdr.
Christopher McAnally as the new
commanding officer of VR-55.
McAnally becomes the 28th com-
manding officer of the Minute-
men. Replacing McAnally as
executive officer is Cmdr. Richard
Thorp.
In his farewell speech, Mac-
Gregor thanked distinguished
guests, including Capt. John Gor-
man, deputy commodore of Fleet
Logistics Support Wing
(CFLSW), and a former CFLSW
commodore, Capt. Eric Petersen,
now deputy commander of the
Naval Air Forces Reserve.
Under MacGregor’s leadership,
the squadron won the 2011
CFLSW Operations Excellence
Award.
“Management has a lot to do
with answers,” MacGregor said
in his farewell speech to his
squadron. “Leadership is a func-
tion of questions. The first ques-
tion that a leader always asks is,
‘Who do we want to be,’ not
‘What are we going to do,’ but
‘Who do we intend to be?’”
McAnally took the stage for
the first time as VR-55’s com-
manding officer with his wife Viv-
ian and his two children, Eliza-
beth and Catherine, looking on
from the front row. He thanked
those in attendance, and his mes-
sage to the squadron showed his
passion to not only flying, but to
the welfare of every Minuteman
when he said: “All I ask in conclu-
sion is that you love and care for
those beautiful airplanes as much
as I do, and that you care and
respect your shipmates as much
as I care and respect all of
you!”
McAnally is a native of Ando-
ver, Mass., and is a 1993 graduate
of Boston College, where he
earned a bachelor’s degree in his-
tory. He was commissioned
through the NROTC program
and was designated a Naval Avi-
ator in April 1996.
Starting his Navy career as an
SH-60 helicopter pilot, he re-
ported to the HS-7 “Dusty Dogs”
in 1997 and deployed with Car-
rier Air Wing 3 on board USS
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71)
and USS Enterprise (CVN 65)
supporting Operation Desert Fox
in 1998.
In 2000, McAnally became a
T-34C instructor pilot with the
VT-2 “Doer Birds.” In 2005, he
transferred to the VR-62
“Nor’easters” where he began
flying the C-130T Hercules. Fol-
lowing his tour in Maine, he re-
ported as the force readiness re-
porting officer at Commander
Naval Air Forces in San Diego.
McAnally has more than 4,800
hours in military aircraft.

Arousing performance by the Channel Islands
High School drumline, cheerleaders and dancers
kicked off a back-to-school fair Friday, Aug. 17,
at the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme Navy Exchange.
With some schools starting classes the week
of Aug. 20, the back-to-school fair was designed
to get kids motivated and parents prepared for
that first day back, said Anna Esguerra, general
manager of the NEX.
“Just about anyone on base that provides ser-
vices for kids is here today,” she said, looking
over displays representing the Fleet & Family
Support Center (FFSC), the school liaison of-
ficer, the Bee-Fit Health and Wellness Center,
police and fire prevention and other organiza-
tions.
The Port Hueneme Police Department put on
a K-9 demonstration that morning.
Throughout the fair, which ran from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m., the NEXOptical Department gave free
vision exams to youngsters, and there was free
popcorn for all who stopped by.
This is the second year the NEX has put on a
back-to-school fair, and this one was several times
larger than last year’s.
“We’ll definitely do it again,” Esguerra said.
Monica James, the school liaison officer for
NBVC, said many of the parents who stopped
by had questions about school supplies.
“I always suggest that they wait until the first
day to find out what they’re being asked to bring,”
she said. “The teachers will let them know.”
James had a wealth of information at her table,
including contact numbers and websites for
schools and districts all around Ventura County
where military families might be sending their
children. For more information, call her at 989-
5211 or email [email protected].
Lynette Copp was staffing the FFSC table,
where she gave away free pens and pencils and
passed out information about Military Kids Club,
parenting classes, emergency preparedness and
the Navy’s Exceptional Family Member Pro-
gram.
“Events like this help military families find out
what’s available to them,” she said.

Worship schedule
So there I was, traveling down Highway
1 on a friend’s motorcycle. It was a bright
and clear morning. The air was cool and
crisp, the view of the mountains on one
side and the ocean on the other could not
have been more beautiful.
The twists and turns that winding road
offers were enjoyed to the max, as there
was little to no traffic. A colleague was
riding not far behind. It was one of those
rare moments when nothing seemed to be
out of place, where there was nothing to
not enjoy —one of those moments where
you think to yourself, “I love my life.”
While enjoying my ride on Randy’s mo-
torcycle, a thought came to mind that I
have gone back to again and again, one
that I believe is worth reflecting on.
Here is the thing. I am a new rider only
because my friend Randy decided to let
me use his motorcycle for two months
before my PCS move to Japan. Now this
guy has a BMW 1100r, which is quite a
nice motorcycle. Why should he let me use
it? Why should he let a beginner learn on
his motorcycle?
When I expressed to him how grateful
I was, and that I was having an absolute
blast riding his motorcycle, he responded
by saying, “I am really glad to see it is
bringing you so much happiness.” And
when he said it, I could tell he genuinely
meant it.
Randy is a bit older than me and has
arrived at a place in his life where he does
not hold onto his possessions tightly, and
he is genuinely happy to have them used
to someone else’s benefit. Both Randy and
his wife are this way, and it is absolutely
refreshing to be around, precisely because
it is so rare.
The Bible has a word for this approach
to life. It is called grace. It is the idea that
even if someone has not earned or does
not deserve our goodwill and kindness,
that we be willing to extend it to them
anyway, that we show them grace. When
we do this, we bless them — that is, we let
themexperience a little bit of God through
us.
I have not earned, nor do I deserve,
Randy’s kindness, and yet each day I climb
on a nice BMW motorcycle and ride it to
work — and lots of other places too. I
know from previous discussions with
Randy that he and his wife take this ap-
proach to life because they feel it is the
approach that God has taken with them,
and having experienced this from God,
they enjoy passing this on to others.
My encouragement to you is the re-
minder that others can experience a little
bit of God through you too. All you have
to do is show them some grace.
Showing some grace lets others experience God’s will

With about a week left, Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) has collected 3,100
pounds of foodandhygiene products inthe
annual Feds Feed Families food drive.
The event runs through August.
Scattered across NBVC Port Hueneme
andNBVCPoint Muguare 20bright yellow
bins, waiting for generous people to drop in
some non-perishable food or hygiene
items.
Bins are located at the Navy Exchanges
and the commissary, the chapels and the
dental and medical clinics. They’re also at
the Port Hueneme Galley, Fleet and Fam-
ily Support Center and at various com-
mands, including the 31st Seabee Readiness
Group.
All food collected will go to the Ventura
County Food Share program.
Feds FeedFamilies is a direct response to
the “United We Serve Act”signed by Pres-
ident Obama inApril 2009, calling uponall
Americans tocontribute tothe nation’s eco-
nomic recovery by serving in their commu-
nities.
Last year, the base collected3,830 pounds
at 19locations. Inall, the federal government
collected 5.7 million pounds of donated
food, 2 millionpounds of that coming from
the Department of Defense alone.
This year, the Department of Defense has
a goal of 1.5 millionpounds. Navywide, the
goal is 396,000 pounds.
Any non-perishable food in cans and
boxes is accepted; anything packaged in
glass is not.

Flashing lights and a cascade of water
heralded the arrival of the twin-engine jet
carrying fallen Marine Cpl. Richard A.
Rivera Jr., whose remains were flown from
Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu Friday, Aug. 17.
Rivera, 20, an Oxnard native, died while
supporting combat operations in Helmand
Province, Afghanistan, Aug. 10. Rivera
was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine
Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine
Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune,
N.C.
NBVC Port Hueneme-based Weapons
Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines,
4th Marine Division, a reserve infantry
company, coordinated the flight and fam-
ily participation, ensuring the family’s
wishes were adhered to for the arrival of
Rivera’s remains. The company is respon-
sible for rendering military funeral honors
to all Marines who have served their coun-
try from San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara
and Ventura counties.
Civilian and military members from all
corners of NBVC coordinated an appro-
priate ceremonial arrival and transfer for
the fallen Marine. His extended family
filled the air terminal, and the streets were
lined with Patriot Guard Riders, a group
of motorcycle enthusiasts who attend
military funerals across the nation to
honor the fallen.
Active duty and Reserve Sailors and
Marines gathered in uniform to render
honors to their fallen brother. NBVCcom-
mand staff honored Rivera in summer
whites, standing stiffly at attention and
saluting his flag-draped casket as it was
carried from the plane to a waiting
hearse.
Across base, electronic marquees flashed
a single message:
Fair winds and following seas, Cpl. Ri-
vera. Semper Fi.

The Naval Base Ventura County office
of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS) is taking part in a pilot pro-
gram to increase the maximum no-inter-
est loans available through the Quick
Assist Loan program to $500 instead of
$300.
In most cases, the loans are available
in less than 30 minutes.
The program is in effect through Dec.
31. After an assessment, the NMCRS will
determine if the loan amount will be in-
creased at all offices worldwide.
Quick Assist Loans are designed to
help with basic living expenses such as
housing, utilities, food and clothing;
medical or dental expenses; vehicle or
transportation expenses; or to assist dur-
ing family emergencies.
The program began in 2008 to provide
Sailors and Marines an easily accessible,
quick alternative to high-interest payday
loans. More than 51,000 QALs were pro-
vided to Sailors and Marines in 2011.
For QALinformation and qualification
requirements, go to http://www.nmcrs.
org/quickassist.html. Information on the
pilot program is available at the bottom
of that page.
Also taking part in the pilot program
are NMCRS offices at Camp Pendleton,
Marine Corps Recruiting Depot San Di-
ego, Miramar, North Island, San Diego,
San Onofre, Twentynine Palms and
Yuma, Ariz.
For more information, call the Ven-
tura office at 805-982-4409.

CSFE Public Affairs
Rear Adm. Donald Quinn, commander of
the Naval Education and Training Command
(NETC), recently visited subordinate com-
mands at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme: the Engineering Duty Officer
(EDO) School, the Center for Seabees and
Facilities Engineering (CSFE) and the Naval
Construction Training Center (NCTC).
Quinn met with staff members of all three
organizations before taking a walking tour
of the training facilities at NCTC.
He advised the NCTC staff: “The biggest
challenge for the armed forces is going to be
how to maintain readiness while in garrison.
I want you to consider the impact this is
going to have on training.”
Cmdr. Scott Loeschke, commanding of-
ficer of CSFE, escorted the admiral on a
tour of the construction mechanic, builder
and steelworker training facilities at NCTC
as course directors described the training
process and equipment.
Although the tour was not hands-on,
Quinn said that if he’d had more time, he’d
like to have driven some of the trucks.
“We appreciate the fact that Rear Adm.
Quinn took the time out of his busy sched-
ule to visit CSFE,” said David Lu, the cen-
ter’s executive director. “He had the oppor-
tunity to personally meet and interact with
our staff and observe … training at our
Construction Mechanic ‘A’ School.”
The CSFE serves as headquarters for five
subordinate learning sites that are respon-
sible for providing technical and profes-
sional training for Civil Engineer Corps
(CEC) officers and Seabees. Seabees train
jointly with the Army and Air Force during
“A” School for builders, construction electri-
cians, construction mechanics, engineering
aides, equipment operators and utilitiesmen
in accordance with an Interservice Training
Requirements Organization (ITRO) agree-
ment. NCTC Port Hueneme hosts the Air
Force for construction mechanic training.
In reflecting upon the admiral’s visit, Lu
said, “His visit reinforces the importance
of Navy training and the collaborative ef-
forts between NETC and learning cen-
ters.”
For more information on the Center for
Seabees and Facilities Engineering, visit the

Lt. Steve Lamoure of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 113 tells a crowd
about the E-2C Hawkeye at the Wings Over Camarillo air show Saturday, Aug. 18.
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse
An E-2C Hawkeye from Naval Base
Ventura County, Point Mugu, drew a
crowd at the Wings Over Camarillo air
show the weekend of Aug. 18, with a cu-
rious public wondering if it was a spy
plane — or if it was any kind of plane at
all.
“Some people ask if it’s a helicopter,”
said Lt. Matt Marshall of Carrier Air-
borne Early Warning Squadron (VAW)
113, who helped get the Hawkeye to the
show.
Marshall and other members of VAW-
113, the “Black Eagles,” spent several
hours Saturday telling those who stopped
by what the aircraft is used for, how it
works and that, yes, it is still in use to-
day.
“Alot of people aren’t familiar with this
aircraft,” Marshall explained. “We’re not
the Blue Angels or the F/18s —they know
what those do. With the Hawkeye, people
don’t know if it’s current or historical.”
To those who ask, Marshall explains
that early-warning aircraft “extend the
eyeballs of the carrier.”
“Basically, we can see the enemy quick-
er than the carrier can,” he tells visitors.
Among those stopping by Saturday
morning was James Wrenn of Newbury
Park. He was a jet mechanic in the Navy
for six years beginning in 1972.
“These planes were just coming on line,”
he said, marveling at what they look like
today.
Larry Milbrett, also of Newbury Park,
appreciated the chance to see one up close.
Every once in awhile, he said, he spots
them flying out of Point Mugu.
“That fan on the front end is pretty im-
pressive,”he said, eyeing the massive black
propeller.

Sailors fromNavy Operational Support
Centers (NOSC) Port Hueneme and Point
Muguandtheir families were honoredAug.
4 during Warrior Recognition Day and
Deployment Readiness Training (DRT) at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
Sailors who have returned fromdeploy-
ment over the previous 12 months were
honored.
Capt. RonOswald, NOSCPort Hueneme
commanding officer, welcomed the Sailors
and their families, as did several guest
speakers, including Rear Adm. Russell S.
Penniman, Reserve deputycommander and
chief of staff for U.S. Pacific Fleet, and
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer
of NBVC.
“Warrior Recognition Day provides an
opportunity for us to recognize our return-
ing warriors for their commitment, their
families for their support and understand-
ing, and both for their sacrifices on behalf
of our great nation,” Penniman said.
Sailors, spouses and families were called
to the stage and individually thanked by
the distinguished guests, including com-
mand staff and nine local veterans from
past military conflicts, including World
War II, Korea and Vietnam.
“It was a pleasure meeting those who
paved the way for us in previous wars,”said
Builder 1st Class Jeffrey Deering of Con-
struction Battalion Maintenance Unit 303,
Det. Port Hueneme. “It reminded me that
mine isn’t the only generation who has had
to deploy and make sacrifices.”
According to the senior leadership of
the NOSCs, many Reservists don’t live near
Navy bases and don’t have the built-in sup-
port that families living on base have.
“These events are tremendously impor-
tant as a tool to get information directly
fromservice providers to Sailors and their
families,”saidCmdr. RodWoodward, com-
manding officer of NOSC Point Mugu.
“Many of our families are not aware of
the resources that are available tohelpthem
handle the rigors of the deployment pro-
cess and the stresses of military life.”
This daylong event, while offering Sail-
ors and their families recognition and rec-
reation, also helps educate and prepare
them for future operational require-
ments.
“One of the single most important roles
of the Navy Operational Support Center
is to ensure that our Sailors and Families
are fully ready for deployment,” Oswald
said.

Seventeen companies
that sell safety-related
equipment — from insu-
lated hiking boots to pro-
tective eyewear — showed
their latest gear Tuesday,
Aug. 14, during a daylong
safety fair put on by Naval
Base Ventura County’s
Public Works Depart-
ment.
More than 200 people
wandered through displays
of hearing protection,
tools, first-aid kits and haz-
ardous-materials suits set
up in the Public Works
complex near Ronald Rea-
gan Boulevard and Laguna
Road at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu.
This is the fair’s second
year. New this year were
training classes in such top-
ics as fall protection, arc
flash protection, first-aid
awareness and hearing con-
servation.
“Safety equipment is
constantly evolving,” said
Dan Jaquez, the site safety
manager for the NBVC
Public Works Department
and the fair organizer. “The
key is balance, to have gear
that offers protection but
doesn’t inhibit the work-
flow.”
Tools, he said, are a per-
fect example.
“People wonder why
tools are part of a safety
fair,” he said. “But they’re
constantly undergoing er-
gonomic changes. They
need to fit the hand so the
wrist stays neutral, and vi-
bration needs to be reduced
or isolated. Manufacturers
are producing better tools
continually. This safety fair
allows our supervisors and
employees an opportunity
to identify tools to make
their work safe.”
Jaquez said personal
safety is critical: Employees
need to keep an eye out for
dangerous situations and
stop unsafe acts before ac-
cidents happen.
Master Sgt. Michael Ste-
vens of the Security Forces
Squadron at the 146th Air
Wing of the Air National
Guard was among those
who stopped by the fair.
“As the logistics supply
person, I have to buy the
goods,”he said as he looked
over the latest in hiking
boots. “When it comes to
boots, we’re always looking
for something different. We
put in a lot of miles in our
boots, so I figured I’d take
a peek at what’s out there
these days.”
Tracy Powell, the brand
manager for Corcoran,
showed himthe newest hik-
ing boots made for the
Navy SEALs. They’re wa-
terproof, have strong ankle
support and feature a
knobby sole for mountain-
ous terrain.
“The technology is al-
ways changing,” she said.
“It’s amazing what they
have out these days.”

NMCB 3 Public Affairs
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3’s focus on a culture of fitness
resulted in a combined weight loss of more
than 1,000 pounds between February and
August while the battalion was deployed
to Europe and Africa.
Last March, the 21st Century Sailor and
Marine Initiative was rolled out by the
Secretary of the Navy, and one of the pil-
lars of the program was to transform the
culture of physical fitness testing into a
culture of fitness.
To complete this goal, each detachment
site conducted physical training (PT) six
times a week as part of the normal work
routine.
NMCB 3 was deployed to more than
eight countries throughout Europe and
Africa, and each location had different
terrains, climates and facilities available
for PT. This made holding PT six days a
week challenging for the entire battal-
ion.
At the main deployment site in Rota,
Spain, the Seabees held PTtogether every
Monday and Friday at 5:30 a.m. On Mon-
days they focused on strengthening exer-
cises and short runs that built speed, while
on Fridays they focused on long endur-
ance runs.
On June 8, a Friday PTsession, the com-
manding officer challenged the Seabees in
Spain to a voluntary 10-mile run, and
more than 75 of them participated.
“We offered the rest of Friday off to
anyone that participated in the run,” said
Cmdr. Scott Raymond, the commanding
officer of NMCB 3. “I was pleased when
more than 90 percent lined up to partici-
pate in the run. I was even more pleased
to see many of the participants finish the
run, go shower, then come in to work re-
gardless of having the day off. This is an
outstanding indicator of the character of
these Seabees in NMCB 3.”
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class
Shawn Conley, command fitness leader,
said the Seabees ran four, five and even
six miles during command PT every
week.
“Because we routinely train harder than
the physical readiness test (PRT), the 10-
mile run was actually easy for us,” he
said.
Conley said the schedule helped change
everyone’s mindset to a culture of fit-
ness.
During the rest of the week, each com-
pany in Spain still held PT at 5:30 a.m.,
but they modified the workouts based on
company goals. Headquarters Company,
consisting of the fleet support rates, would
conduct yoga on Wednesdays while allow-
ing their Sailors to focus on fitness goals,
such as weight loss or strength building,
on Thursdays. Delta Company, the com-
pany responsible for vertical construction
projects, used the other days of the week
to conduct small unit PT that consisted
of calisthenics and short runs. Alfa Com-
pany, the company responsible for hori-
zontal construction and equipment main-
tenance, focused on long-distance
running.
In Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, the Sea-
bees held PT as a large group every Mon-
day and the rest of the week broke up into
smaller groups to conduct cross fit, circuit
training, or sometimes just a focus on core
or upper body strengthening.
Utilitiesman Constructionman Michael
Arnold lost 40 pounds while deployed to
Djibouti.
“I feel that that the support from ship-
mates along with self determination to
increase my physical shape and personal
health were the main contributors in my
successful weight loss,” he said.
In Tan Tan, Morocco, 26 of NMCB 3’s
Seabees held PT at 5:30 p.m. every day.
Frequently it consisted of 3.5-mile cross-
country runs across the desert dunes and
hard dirt. Once a week they challenged
their Moroccan army counterparts to a
game of soccer.
Breaking up the monotony seemed to
be critical, leaders said.
”The variety of workouts they are doing
and the opportunity to built their own fit-
ness routine really helped with their fitness
—also making right choices when it comes
to meal choices,” said Master Chief Util-
itiesman Barry Bender, the NMCB 3 se-
nior enlisted leader in Djibouti. “Good
leadership was key to our success. We
made sure that the troops who needed a
little motivation or a little push had the
help they needed, whether it was with fit-
ness or nutrition.”

EDO
Over the course of three days in July,
Boy Scout Troop 787 from Thousand
Oaks sent nine Scouts to the Engineering
Duty Officer (EDO) School at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme
to work on their Engineering Merit
Badge.
Classroom lectures, discussions and
building of an engineering project were
all part of the program that was put to-
gether for the Scouts.
The Scouts had to research a household
item — such as a TV, toaster or comput-
er —to determine howit works and what
sort of engineering activities were needed
to create it. They also needed to pick an
engineering achievement that has had a
major impact on society and investigate
the engineering feats that made it possible,
obstacles that had to be overcome, what
engineers were involved in the project and
how it has influenced the world. Among
the topics they chose were the Great
Pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the
Eiffel Tower, the Panama Canal and the
space shuttle.
Since the EDO School has four engi-
neering duty officers on staff with varying
backgrounds in naval, mechanical, mate-
rials and systems engineering and applied
physics, they offered a unique experience
to the Scouts with a Navy flavor. The
Scouts had to discuss at least six different
types of engineering as well as what a pro-
fessional engineer is.
Capt. Thomas Brovarone, Cmdr. Ste-
phen Meade, Lt. Cmdr. Richard Jones and
Lt. Cmdr. Greg Mitchell took the time to
discuss their careers as naval officers and
opportunities in the Engineering Duty
Officer community. Videos of missile
shots, directed energy weapons, ship con-
struction and launchings were shown to
the Scouts, who also got to learn the edu-
cational, training and experience require-
ments needed to be an engineer. Engineer-
ing ethics were also related in terms the
Boy Scouts understood as part of their
Scout Oath and Law.
To get to the core engineering involved
in the merit badge, the EDOSchool staff
developed a training series on the systems
engineering process and had the Scouts
design a patrol box for static camping us-
ing that systems engineering approach.
Each Scout discussed their design, what
the requirements for the design were, de-
tails on the design, materials and tools
required and how they would put it to-
gether and verify that it met their original
requirements.
“This will be useful for them, especially
those working on Eagle Scout projects,”
said Mitchell, himself an Eagle Scout.
The last part of the classroom work
included learning about transforming mo-
tion and converting energy. An Office of
Naval Research project called the Sea
Perch was used to discuss these topics and
then apply them in the building of the
underwater remote operated vehicle
(ROV).
How a propeller works, forces, and
transforming between linear and rota-
tional motion were discussed and related
to the project. Since naval engineering,
ship design and construction are the cor-
nerstone of the Engineering Duty com-
munity, buoyancy was explained to the
Scouts in terms of submarines and how
it would be applied to the underwater
ROV. The Scouts and the EDO School

NBVC Public Affairs
and Mason Lowery
NFELC Public Affairs
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) participated in an an-
nual regionwide disaster prepared-
ness exercise known as Operation
Citadel Rumble Aug. 7-9.
Citadel Rumble is a response
and recovery exercise designed to
evaluate Navy shore-based com-
mands andinstallationemergency
preparedness in response to an all
hazards scenario. During this
year’s exercise, installation com-
mands faced the specter of mul-
tiple earthquakes strikingthrough-
out the region.
The first day of the exercise in-
cluded several drills.
As they would in an actual
emergency, the Child Develop-
ment Centers at both Point Mugu
andPort Hueneme evacuatedchil-
dren as part of the exercise and
conducteda parent recall notifica-
tion. Likewise, Naval Branch
Medical Clinic Port Hueneme
tested its triage capabilities with
the help of role players.
The exercise calledfor the Naval
Satellite OperationCenter at Point
Mugu to sustain major damage,
resulting in personnel injuries and
a fire. Emergency responders ar-
rived to triage the “wounded”and
assess the building.
The scenario had the earth-
quakes wreaking havoc with pow-
er and transportation routes, par-
ticularly around San Diego. The
Naval Facilities Expeditionary
Logistics Center, locatedat NBVC
Port Hueneme, was tappedtosup-
ply Mobile Utilities Support
Equipment (MUSE) to help re-
store power.
Roads between NBVCand San
Diego were to be considered se-
verely disrupted, if not impassable.
MUSE’s mobile switchgear skid
and portable shore power connec-
tion panel was loaded aboard
Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 1648
for sea transport to Point Loma,
along with two Seabee MUSE
technicians. The equipment has
the capability of providing power
to ships, submarines or base fa-
cilities during man-made or natu-
ral disasters.
Although the majority of Cita-
del Rumble was conducted as a
pen-and-paper exercise, the ship-
ment of the MUSEvia LCUwas
a real-time execution.
“It was exciting to be a part of
this exerciseandshowcaseMUSE’s
disaster response capabilities,”
said Construction Mechanic 2nd
Class Edward Gugala, one of the
two Seabees tapped to escort the
MUSE. “We can load our equip-
ment onto ships, trucks, planes
and trains to provide power any-
where in the world very quickly.”
Construction Mechanic 1st
Class Leslie Walton also sailed
with the MUSE during the exer-
cise.
Day Two saw NBVC more se-
verely affected, with the exercise
calling for an earthquake strong
enough to badly damage Building
1 at Point Mugu, where the Emer-
gency Operations Center (EOC),
the heart of the command’s emer-
gency response coordination, is
located.
The shift to an alternate loca-
tion, and technical issues with
training websites and communi-
cation software, presented chal-
lenges to the NBVC EOC team
and other teams throughout the
region. The issues only added to
the realism, noted Rob Huether,
installation training officer.
“We do these exercises to find
out the gaps in the process and
fill them before an actual emer-
gency arises,” he explained. “It’s
is always better to be prepared
for an emergency that never
comes.”

ticipate completion in four months.”
When it reopens in January, the Warfield
Gymwill feature a mezzanine with cardio
equipment running the length of the
weight room. Restrooms will have been
relocated, the women’s locker room will
be larger, and heating, ventilation and
electrical systems will have been upgrad-
ed.
Doss said Morale, Welfare and Recre-
ation has received high praise for filling
the void left by the closure of the Warfield.
Both the Bee-Fit Health and Wellness
Center and the Aquatics Center across the
street took in additional equipment and
expanded hours to accommodate more

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
September is National Preparedness
Month. Naval Base Ventura County’s
Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC)
encourages every individual to be in-
formed, have a plan and make a kit. So,
what does that entail and how do we get
started?
The first step is to be informed by un-
derstanding what the potential hazards
are for the area where you live. Here in
Ventura County, there are a wide variety
of natural disasters that could occur —
and already have —including earthquakes,
landslides, wildfires, tsunami and flooding.
Other hazards include power outages,
dams breaking, even acts of terrorism.
Your second step is to get prepared. It’s
not “if ” but “when” the Big One will hit.
You might not be able to control natural
disasters, but you can control your prepa-
ration for the event.
The single best approach in preparation
is to develop and initiate a comprehensive
plan. In order to alleviate the myriad con-
cerns for your family, you should know
how to shut off the natural gas line and
where possible shelters are in your area.
Think in advance. How will this affect my
family? What if they are at home and I
am at work — or worse, deployed? What
if the kids are at school or are simply
separated from the family? What type of
communication measures do we have in
place? Have we talked about a possible
evacuation route or a possible rendezvous
point if we get separated?
These are all things that should be ad-
dressed in your emergency plan. Try and
keep in mind that a plan doesn’t do any
good if it isn’t properly understood by all
family members. Children need to feel
reassured during times when it might get
a bit chaotic. The best way to ensure calm-
ness and ease your loved ones’ worries is
to give them a sense of control through
effective communication and a routine-like
approach to each situation. In terms of
any plan, the old saying is absolutely true:
Practice makes perfect.
The third and final step is to make an
emergency kit. There are some basic ne-
cessities to include: blankets, food, water,
flashlight and a radio. Throwin extra bat-
teries for both the radio and the flash-
light.
It’s also very important to make sure
that your kit is tailored to the needs of
your family. If you have children, you
might want to make sure there are some
comfort items in there for them. It could
be a special toy or blanket or a certain
type of food or snacks. And since you’re
in the planning stages, don’t forget Fido.
Family pets have to be taken into consid-
eration when putting together your plan
and your kits. It’s vitally important to en-
sure your home kits have enough supplies
for you and your family to shelter in place
for a minimum of 72 hours.
There are resources on the Internet to
help families make a plan and put togeth-
er a kit. The Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA), www.fema.gov or
www.ready.gov, is a valuable resource.
Another important local resource is
“Ready Ventura County,”http://readyven-
turacounty.org.
The FFSCoffers a disaster preparedness
class. The next one is Sept. 19, from 4:30
to 5:30 p.m. at the Port Hueneme FFSC.
If you have questions or would like to sign

By MC2 (SCW) Ace Rheaume
NMCB 5
Seabees assigned to Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 left in early August
for an annual Field Training Ex-
ercise (FTX) at Fort Hunter
Liggett.
The FTX, which is expected
to run through the end of the
month, is a culmination of
NMCB 5’s homeport training
and is designed to demonstrate
battalion readiness in the field.
The exercise is set up to mimic
deployment conditions and
events the battalion might face
on future deployments. NMCB
5 conducted classes and prac-
ticed drills during the beginning
of the training; as the exercise
progresses, the more difficult it
becomes.
“It’s extremely important that
we conduct a field training exer-
cise in order to ensure that the
battalion as a whole is proficient
in all things that we need to do,”
said Lt. Cmdr. John Brown,
NMCB 5’s operations officer.
At the beginning of the exer-
cise, the battalion worked tire-
lessly through intense heat of up
to 115 degrees to create a Logis-
tics Support Area (LSA). Com-
munications and defenses were
then established within the camp,
and every company within the
battalion worked together to
complete the entire process.
“It’s great being on FTX. It’s
an extreme change of pace out
here from being in homeport,”
Brown said.
NMCB 5 will also be tested on
chemical, biological and radio-
logical (CBR) readiness and how
to interact with the local civilian
population and enemy aggres-
sors.
“It’s a lot different than what
I thought it would be. I’m look-
ing forward to more scenarios
and just a lot more activity,”said
Construction Electrician Con-
structionman Mario Guzman of
NMCB 5’s Bravo Company.
Guzman said his mission is to
help with security of the entry
control point of the camp and
to perform internal security
within the camp. He said he was
looking forward to putting all
the skills learned in homeport to
use. NMCB 5 is training for a
scheduled deployment to Pacific
Command early next year.

With about 22 species of mosquitoes
active at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) — some flying by day, some by
night —base residents are bound to have
some annoying encounters with mosqui-
toes during the warmer months of the
year.
The two main mosquito species found
at NBVC are Aedes, which appear in
early season and prefer salt water in the
marshes and wetlands, and Culex, which
showup in mid- to late-season and prefer
fresh water, mostly the private duck ponds
to the north, adjacent to NBVC Point
Mugu.
No matter their preferred time of day,
all mosquitoes have one thing in common:
their need for water in which to breed and
grow.
Adult mosquitoes lay their eggs on
moist surfaces near water, or directly onto
still water. Any containers that hold stand-
ing water are ideal breeding sites — old
tires, toys, ponds, pools, uncovered boats,
birdbaths, even dishes under flowerpots.
In industrial areas, equipment that is
covered by tarps or waterproof plastic may
harbor these pests in puddles on the plas-
tic or in suitable cavities nearby. The
equipment itself may even be configured
in such a way that water is allowed to pond
on it, making an ideal habitat for mos-
quito larvae.
Before laying their eggs, mosquitoes
seek a blood meal from a warm-blooded
host — a bird, a dog, possibly even you.
In search of a meal, mosquitoes are drawn
to carbon dioxide given off by your breath,
your body heat and your own moisture.
They track you down by your skin tem-
perature and by your sweat. The main at-
traction is carbon dioxide you exhale.
After dusk, during peak feeding time,
mosquitoes find you a very attractive tar-
get, as they can find you from up to 20
feet away.
When feeding on you, mosquitoes actu-
ally inject their saliva into your skin to
help extract your blood. It is the saliva
that causes the itching you feel after being
bitten.
Mosquito bites can also spread serious
diseases such as Western Equine Enceph-
alitis, St. Louis Encephalitis and West Nile
Virus. Only females bite. Males drink
flower juices.
The female Culex mosquito lays her eggs
in tiny “rafts” that float on the surface of
the water. Each raft may contain hundreds
of eggs. With favorable conditions, these
eggs can hatch and become adults in about
a week.
Don’t let your yard become a mosquito
breeding ground! Take these precau-
tions:
• Empty anything that holds standing
water — old tires, buckets, plastic covers,
toys, etc.
• Every week, change water in birdbaths,
fountains, wading pools and animal
troughs.
• Recycle unused containers — bottles,
cans and buckets that may collect water.
• Make sure roof gutters are draining
properly, and clean your clogged gutters
in the spring and fall.
• Fix your leaky outside faucets and
sprinkler systems.
• Make sure your windows and door
screens are bug-tight. Replace or repair
as needed.
After you have eliminated mosquito
breeding sites, don’t let yourself be on the
menu.
• Stay indoors at dawn and dusk, if pos-
sible, when mosquitoes are most active
• Wear a long-sleeved shirt or blouse,
long pants and hat when going into mos-
quito-infested areas such as wetlands or
woods.
• Use mosquito repellent when needed.
Carefully follow instructions on the la-
bel.
• Repellents with DEET are very effec-
tive and are widely used to reduce the risk
of bites. Take special care when applying
repellents on your children!

Answering 10 survey questions could be
one of the most valuable ways to spend five
minutes for employees of the Naval Air
Warfare Center Weapons Division, accord-
ing to leaders of the command’s Customer
Satisfaction Program.
Lisa Pracchia, head of the program, rec-
ognizes that there are many requests for
employees’ time and input but encourages
the workforce to respond to these surveys
because they generate information that is
relevant and used to make a difference.
“The purpose of the surveys is to im-
prove,”Pracchia said. “There are real ben-
efits to responding to these surveys because
it produces information that helps us im-
prove howwe support our customers, and
it gives reliable and quality information for
rewarding our employees.”
Pracchia and her team of two, Twiggy
Goodwin and Stacey Howard, send out
surveys to external and internal customers
either at fixed times twice a year or after a
significant event. The next survey is sched-
uled for September.
Anexternal customer is one that supplies
funding toNAWCWDlike NAVAIRhead-
quarters, other Navy commands, other
Department of Defense programs, or oth-
er branches of the military. Internal cus-
tomers are those at NAWCWD who rep-
resent their sponsors or who use
NAWCWD-internal services.
There are currently 23 NAWCWD de-
partments that participate inthe command’s
Customer Satisfaction Program, and more
than 5,000 surveys have been processed.
“The response rate fromexternal custom-
ers is very good,”Pracchia said. “We would
like to see increased participation fromour
internal employees at large.”
The highly automated survey consists of
10 questions and is aimed at assessing,
analyzing and reporting on customer sat-
isfaction. There is also an open text field
for additional comments, complaints or
positive remarks. All of the praise in the
survey is captured and reported verbatim
at different levels in the organization regu-
larly.
Pracchiasaidacommoncomplaint about
surveys in general is that they can be time-
consuming, and the results are never re-
ported.
“What’s different about our process is
that it takes only five minutes to complete
and there is documented follow-up after
the survey if there are any issues,” she
said.
If a customer indicates dissatisfaction,
he or she is contacted within one week and
given the option of using a formal process
to resolve the issue and track it to clo-
sure.
“Our survey-and-response process pro-
vides actionable data and ensures we are
accountable to each other and our custom-
ers,” Pracchia said.
The NAWCWD Customer Satisfaction
Program began in 2009 as the result of a
command analysis that was conducted un-
der former NAWCWDCommander Rear
Adm. David Dunaway.
“That analysis pointed to a few funda-
mental gaps in our performance as com-
pared with industry best practices,” Prac-
chia said. “One gap was that we didn’t
capture and use the voice of the custom-
er.”
Pracchia said one of the groups that has
benefitted from the survey-and-response
process is the Range Department.
“They have really used this process to
improve and respond to their customers’
feedback,” she said. “Over time, Range
complaints have dropped 17 percent and
their customers’ overall satisfaction scores
have gone up 10 percent. That’s phenom-
enal progress.”

Tavita Burgess, 8, celebrates after throwing a left-handed fastball and successfully
dunking a trash-talking Command Master Chief Thomas Cyr during the Naval Base
Ventura County command picnic Aug. 16 at the picnic pavilion at Point Mugu. Tavita’s
advice to anyone else looking to dunk Cyr that day? “Don’t listen to him, just throw
it!” Tavita’s mother, Master Chief Edelene Burgess, is the ground maintenance officer
for NBVC Air Operations. The end-of-summer picnic was a chance for NBVC’s military
and civilian employees to relax and enjoy time together with their families before
school starts up again.
