About 50 law enforcement personnel
and firefighters from both inside and
outside the gates recently took part in
the first of a three-day United Harbors
exercise that tested their response to an
active shooter and chemical release at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu.
The Tuesday, Aug. 12, scenario took
place at Bldg. 735, the Center for Asym-
metric Warfare, located in an isolated
part of the base near Combat Town. In
addition to active-duty Sailors and De-
partment of Defense Force Protection
and Federal Fire personnel, the 9th
Civil Support Team (CST) from Los
Alamitos also participated. This 22-
person unit, one of 57 in the Army
National Guard, can be called out to
support local authorities in a suspected
chemical, biological, radiological or
nuclear incident.
According to the CST, the scenario
was not far-fetched for this agricul-
tural-heavy region.
“A suspected chemical agent could
mimic what these local farms use,” said
Army Staff Sgt. Dave Whitaker of the
Hazmat exercise on base

Q: What are the regulations regarding animals
being left in a vehicle? If the animal has plenty of
ventilation and has plenty of food and water, would an
officer cite or fine the owner of the vehicle?
A: Thank you for allowing me to address this is-
sue. There are no Navy-specific regulations regarding
leaving animals unattended in a vehicle. Naval Base
Ventura County Force Protection uses California
Penal Code guidelines, as laid out in California Penal
Code section 597.7.
In short, the code says that if you leave an animal
in an unattended motor vehicle under conditions that
threaten the animal’s health or well-being, you can
be cited for a violation of the code. Additionally, law
enforcement or animal control officers may remove
animals in apparent duress, even if it means breaking
into the vehicle.
Even with food and water, relatively mild days can
lead to stifling temperatures inside motor vehicles.
According to studies conducted by the San Francisco
State University’s Department of Geosciences, vehicle
temperatures rise an average of 19 degrees Fahrenheit
in the first 10 minutes, and leaving windows partially
open for ventilation has little effect.
Even in mild temperatures, the interior of a car
can reach deadly levels very quickly. We’ve seen many
reports in the news about children left in cars and suf-
fering heatstroke. Although the dynamics are different
for pets — they regulate their temperatures differently
— the danger is very real for both.
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 Commanding Officer’s Suggestion
Box.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Will Force Protection issue citations for animals left in vehicles?w

Time is running out to do-
nate food to the nation’s needy
through the Feds Feed Families
program.
Nationally, the federal cam-
paign brought in 9 million
pounds of food in last year’s
three-month summer pro-
gram.
This year, food will be col-
lected at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) through Sun-
day, Aug. 31. Yellow collection
bins are set up at several loca-
tions across the base.
Locally, the campaign got a
boost earlier this month when
the Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing and Expeditionary Warfare
Center (NAVFAC EXWC)
turned in several large bags of
rice, cartons of fruit cups and
dozens of jars of peanut but-
ter.
Religious Programming Spe-
cialist 2nd Class Evan Blair
pulled up to Building 1000,
loaded everything into a gov-
ernment van and drove the
non-perishables to the Seabee
Chapel.
Paul Kokosz, deputy emer-
gency management officer of
EXWC, helped organize the
drive at his command; he’s a
regular volunteer at Ventura
County FOOD Share.

BMX stunt rider Larry Edgar performs at the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu
Navy Exchange Customer Appreciation Day Saturday, Aug. 23.
With the Labor Day holiday weekend,
many of us will be away from the work-
place for three or more days. The Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Energy
Team reminds everyone to be aware of
your workplace energy footprint and do
what you can to reduce energy waste and
costs to the Navy while you are away. This
is especially important during these days
of budget shortfalls.
Did you know that there are an esti-
mated 10,000-plus computers at NBVC
that, if left on 24/7, cost the Navy more
than $750,000 in electricity annually? If
everyone shut down their computers at
the end of each workday, over weekends
and during holidays, this electricity cost
here at NBVC could be cut by 66 percent,
saving the Navy and the taxpayer nearly
$500,000 per year.
Please take the following steps before
leaving on your last day before the holiday
weekend:
• Turn off NMCI computers, monitors,
speakers, printers, etc. within your work-
station, and turn off the power strip.
• Turn off all personal devices (fans,
radios, etc.).
• Coordinate a shutdown of all work-
group printers, photocopiers and other
common area office equipment prior to
vacating the workplace.
• Shut down all shop equipment.
• Turn off all kitchen and break room
equipment (coffee makers, toasters,
etc.).
• Turn off all lights.
• Shut down all heating, cooling and
ventilation systems.
Don’t forget to shut down workstations over Labor Day

Far exceeding last year’s turn-
out, more than 1,000 people
stopped by the Military and
Veterans Expo in Camarillo
Saturday, Aug. 16, to learn what
services are available to those
who have served — and those
who continue to serve — in the
nation’s armed forces.
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) was well-represented
at the event, from Command
Master Chief Percy Trent giving
opening remarks, to Lt. Lesa
Welliver, staff chaplain, offering
the invocation and Seabees help-
ing set up and take down dis-
plays.
The Navy Operational Sup-
port Center at NBVC Port Hue-
neme provided a color guard.
Clinical counselor Rebecca
Hanson staffed the Fleet &
Family Support Center table,
explaining the many classes and
services available. Brochures
were on display promoting the
Sept. 17 Career Fair as well as
financial support and new-par-
ent support programs.
Ben Wilson of FOCUS, a
family support program on
base, helped organize the event,
and FOCUS resilience trainer
Ute Ray staffed a table.
“We hope this year’s expo
fostered the sense of support,
community and camaraderie
our military, veterans and their
loved ones deserve,” Wilson
said.
Outside, a fire engine and a
military all-terrain vehicle
(MATV) from the Air Force
344th Training Squadron, De-
tachment 1, at NBVC Port Hue-
neme, were on display. They’re
used by Air Force students as
they troubleshoot and maintain
the vehicles at the school-
house.
Tech Sgt. Roger Protte han-
dled tours of the fire engine;
Tech Sgt. Steven Monje oversaw
the tours of the MATV. Master
Sgt. Steven Fadden was there as
well.
Visitors were especially inter-
ested in the fire engine, which
featured internal nozzle controls.
Using a joystick, firefighters can
direct a 200-foot spray while
staying safely inside the cab —
“without getting in harm’s way,”
Protte said.
Anthony Russo, who lives
down the street from the Ca-
marillo Community Center
where the expo was held, said he
told his children about it and
they were eager to come.
“Any opportunity to teach
them something new, we do,” he
said as his 5-year-old daughter,
Aubrey, climbed into the fire
engine.

Expo Saturday, Aug. 16, at the Camarillo
Community Center. Aubrey’s dad, Anthony,
lives around the corner from the community
center and brought his kids to the event.
The Military All-Terrain Vehicle (MATV) was a big hit with children
visiting the Military and Veterans Expo in Camarillo.

Watching your child head out the door
to school — or even just to the school bus
stop — for the first time can be an emo-
tional time for a parent. There’s no perfect
age for letting your child make that trip
without an adult; it all depends on the
child’s maturity and comfort level. Here
are some things to think about, along with
safety reminders every child can use:
Walking to school
• Make sure your child’s walk to school
is a safe route with well-trained adult
crossing guards at every intersection.
• Be realistic about your child’s pedes-
trian skills. Because small children are
impulsive and less cautious around traffic,
carefully consider whether or not your
child is ready to walk to school without
adult supervision.
• In neighborhoods with higher levels
of traffic, consider starting a “walking
school bus,” in which an adult accompa-
nies a group of neighborhood children
walking to school.
• New to Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC)? If you live at NBVC Port Hue-
neme and your student attends Richard
Bard, Hueneme Elementary or Hueneme
Christian, there is a pedestrian gate at
Goodspeed that allows easy access to
Pleasant Valley Road. It is open during
school commute hours. This allows stu-
dents to avoid walking along busy Ven-
tura Road.
Riding the bus
• Wait for the bus to stop before ap-
proaching it from the curb.
• Do not move around on the bus.
• Check to see that no other traffic is
coming before crossing the street.
• Make sure to always remain in clear
view of the bus driver.
• Children should always board and exit
the bus at locations that provide safe ac-
cess to the bus or to the school building.
Riding a bike to school
• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no mat-
ter how short or long the ride.
• Ride on the right, in the same direction
as auto traffic.
• Use appropriate hand signals.
• Respect traffic lights and stop signs.
• Wear bright-colored clothing to in-
crease visibility.
• Know the “rules of the road.” They’re
listed on the website www.aap.org/family/
bicycle.htm

Safety tips as children head off to school
School
connection

James
• Take shorter showers. One way to
cut down on water use is to turn off
the shower after soaping up, turning
it back on to rinse. A four-minute
shower uses approximately 20 to 40
gallons of water.
• Turn off the water after you wet
your toothbrush. There is no need to
keep the water running while brushing
your teeth. Just wet your brush and
fill a glass for mouth rinsing.
• Rinse your razor in the sink. Fill
the sink with a few inches of warm
water. This will rinse your razor just
as well as running water, with far less
waste of water.
• Insulate your water pipes. It’s easy
and inexpensive to do it with pre-slit
foam pipe insulation. You’ll get hot
water faster and you’ll avoid wasting
water while it heats up.

and other water- and energy-saving
ideas, contact A. Peter Shack, Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) resource
efficiency manager, at 805-982-2842.

Have you ever felt like you have hit rock
bottom? I think that’s how Jonah felt in
the belly of the giant fish for three days.
I’m not sure what to compare that to, but
it might be similar to manning a gun pit
for 12 hours in the heat or cold of Fort
Hunter Liggett! One thing is certain: Jo-
nah did not want to spend more than three
days in the belly of that great fish!
In the story of Jonah, we read that he
disobeyed the commandment of the Lord
and set sail for Tarshish instead of going
to Nineveh (in modern-day Iraq). The ship
left the port and set out across the Medi-
terranean when a great storm threatened
to tear the ship apart. The mariners bailed
out water and anything heavy to keep the
ship afloat, but the storm was too great.
Meanwhile Jonah was asleep in the bot-
tom of the boat! They had to wake him
up and ask for his help!
In Mark 4:35ff, another group of men
faced a storm, this time on the Sea of
Galilee. In this account, the disciples set
out to cross the sea at the direction of
Jesus. They too encountered a terrible
storm that threatened to tear their ship
into pieces. So they began to bail out wa-
ter and anything heavy to keep the ship
afloat. Meanwhile Jesus was asleep in the
bottom of the boat! The disciples had to
wake him up and said, “Teacher, do you
not care that we are perishing?”
Consider the differences in these two
accounts. Jonah had disobeyed a com-
mand and was running from God. The
disciples followed Jesus’ command and
were following orders. Yet they both en-
countered a storm.
The common denominator is that God
sent the storms. In Jonah’s life, the storm
was meant to bring about repentance and
forgiveness so that Jonah could get back
to the mission. In the life of the disciples,
the storm was meant to prove the disciples’
faith and demonstrate Jesus’ control over
nature.
Life is full of storms. Some are the result
of our failure to follow the truths that we
have been taught. And some are meant to
test our commitment to the paths that we
have chosen. Either way, our success at
surviving them depends upon our willing-
ness to believe that God is always in con-
trol. Instead of looking at the trials of life
as random acts of karma, we can look at
the trials as opportunities to prove our
faith and to see if we really are living in
the presence of the Lord.
The greatest difference in the two stories
is that the disciples had Jesus in the boat,
but Jonah was running from the presence
of God. The determining factor in the
storms of life is the presence of God. If
he is in the boat, then you will be safe. If
he is not in the boat, then you must face
his judgment to find safety. I hope that
you will try and live your life like a dis-
ciple and live in his presence.
If you do not know how to make sure
Jesus is in the boat, stop by the Seabee
Chapel or look up your unit’s chaplain
and ask how you can know for sure.
God can help us weather the storms he sends

School supplies donated by the Navy
Exchange were given to youngsters who
attended the Back-to-School Rodeo Friday,
Aug. 22, at the Seabee Chapel.
Organized by Bethany and BU2 Thad
Dodds, the event was a time to reflect on
the lessons learned at Vacation Bible School
(VBS) in July and celebrate the start of a
new school year.
Some of the children who attended the
Back-to-School Rodeo came in some of
the same Western wear they’d worn at VBS,
which sported an Old West theme.
The NEX donated dozens of back-to-
school items, including composition books,
spiral notebooks, binders, organizers, cal-
endars, pencil bags, journals, scissors and
watercolors.
“I think it’s fabulous,” Yvonna Carnieri
said as her 6-year-old daughter, Bella,
looked through the supplies.
Carnieri, who is married to a veteran
Seabee, volunteers at VBS every summer.
“We wanted to make sure the kids who
came to VBS could relive the event and
remember how great God is.” Thad Dodds
said, “And maybe they’ll want to come
back and learn some more.”

By Tech. Sgt. Thomas Kessler
USAF 344th Training Squadron, Det. 1
Looming near the 344th Training
Squadron, Detachment 1’s home on Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme is Mugu Peak. The 1,266-foot moun-
tain overlooking Pacific Coast Highway
and the Channel Islands is a local land-
mark and is marked with an American
flag at its top. The flag, however, is often
worn, torn or even missing due to the ex-
treme wind and weather it faces daily.
That’s where about two dozen airmen
on a Sunday hike come in.
On August 10, students from the Air
Force detachment made the rocky and
strenuous trek through thick marine fog
to reach the peak and visually inspect the
flag. They stood in formation as the de-
tachment’s drill team inspected the flag
for serviceability and stood ready with a
spare in case it needed to be replaced
“We were looking for frays, tears and
anything that would make the flag unser-
viceable,” said Airman 1st Class (A1C)
Garth Noble. “After we inspected the flag
we came to the conclusion that the flag
was still good.”
At the end of the flag inspection and
formation, the airmen began the return
trip, collecting trash along the way. No
piece of paper was too small; even scraps
captured by cacti were collected. Four bags
of trash were removed that morning by
the airmen.
“We found bottles, bottle caps, paper
and soda cans,” A1C Jason Warren said.
As with Warren, this was the first Mugu
hike for A1C Shandly Blair, whose legs
were shaking by the end of the trip. A1C
Brian O’Neal, who has made the trek five
times, said he’d never seen the peak
shrouded in fog, nor had he taken part in
a mountaintop flag inspection.
But it wasn’t the fog, flag ceremony or
picking up trash that inspired A1C Sam
Slagowski.
“We talked to an Air Force retiree who
explained to us that he hikes this trail ev-
ery weekend,” Slagowski said, “and this
was the first time he has seen so many Air
Force personnel not only conquering the
Mugu Peak, but also doing a good deed
for the community.”

students had brought a spare in case it
needed to be replaced.

9th CST. “Organophosphates are
not uncommon — they’re used
in pesticides and fertilizers — and
a weaponized version could be
developed.”
The exercise unfolded with a
911 call from a groundskeeper
who spotted a man with a gun
running into Bldg. 735. As other
Force Protection officers cor-
doned off the area, four ran into
the building. The gunman was
killed, as was a second one. The
officers were overcome with nau-
sea, headache and a sore throat;
one collapsed as soon as he got
back outside.
“Officer down, officer down,”
Officer Alberto Garcia called in.
“Chemicals detected in the
area.”
The orders came over the radio:
“Shelter in place until we find out
what we’re dealing with.”
Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Al-
len Chiu was sprawled on the
grass. “We got exposed, and I’m
dead,” he explained.
While the participants waited
for the hazardous materials
(hazmat) team to arrive, Chiu
talked about the importance of
exercises like this.
“A lot of it is muscle memory,”
he said — the idea being that if
a real emergency occurs, the
adrenaline-fueled body will re-
peat what it did during drills.
In a parking lot down the road
from Bldg. 735, fire trucks from
NBVC, the City of Ventura and
Ventura County began to gather,
and their crews organized them-
selves into the Ventura County
Regional Hazmat Team. Quint
72, NBVC’s ladder truck, pulled
into place, and firefighters hooked
up the hose to the nearby hy-
drant. They extended the ladder
out behind the truck, ran the hose
alongside it and attached a noz-
zle. The result: an outdoor show-
er, officially known as a mass
decontamination unit.
“In the real world, anyone who
has been contaminated would
strip off their clothes first,” Capt.
John Shearer explained. “In most
cases, just doing that removes 80
percent of the contaminants.”
Meanwhile the hazmat team set
up a portable weather station, as-
sembled their radios, collected
their gas- and radiation-detection
units and pulled their hazmat
suits up to their waist.
“Because this is an unknown
chemical, we have to use a lot of
equipment so we don’t hurt our-
selves,” explained Fed Fire Engi-
neer Lisa Tarkany.
Then the firefighters got their
blood pressure taken.
“We must stay within a certain
blood pressure range or we can’t
go in,” Tarkany explained.
Between the physical stress of
wearing thick protective gear —
“It can get up to 110 degrees in
there,” Tarkany said — and the
emotional stress of being around
a dangerous unknown chemical,
a high blood pressure reading
before even entering the scene
could lead to disaster.
The hazmat team walked into
the building with two overarching
goals: Figure out what the chem-
ical is and do it safely.
“Keep your head on a swivel,”
Capt. Mike Weisenberg of the
Ventura County Fire Department
had admonished the four fire-
fighters going in. “Remember we
are looking for anything out of
the ordinary. This is a reconnais-
sance mission.”
Under the scenario, it had al-
ready been determined that there
were no puddles, no leaks and no
clouds of gas.
But there were still many other
dangers, and Weisenberg remind-
ed them to take precautions like
avoiding furniture corners and
rough walls — anything that
could rip the hazmat suit.
“This has transitioned from a
rescue operation to investigation
and identification of the sub-
stance,” said Robert Huether, the
installation training officer for
NBVC. “The reality is that it
could be a very long time before
we identify the substance — or
maybe never.”
That’s where CST comes in.
During the exercise, CST was
parked alongside the local hazmat
teams and conducted their drills
simultaneously. In the real world,
they would arrive several hours
after the initial identification ef-
fort, having to drive their mobile
lab from Orange County.
“We are on call 24/7,” Whita-
ker said. “Our job is to identify,
advise, assess and assist.”
California, Florida and New
York are the only states to have
two CSTs. Units are also in place
in Washington, D.C., the Virgin
Islands, Puerto Rico and
Guam.
“We’re required to do one ex-
ercise a month, and we try to do
large-scale exercises like this sev-
eral times a year,” Whitaker
said.
In the end, CST determined
that the substance was indeed an
organophosphate — one of the
deadliest nerve agents around:
sarin.

NMCB 4
OKINAWA, Japan — Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 4 relieved
NMCB 1 during a relief-in-place and trans-
fer of authority ceremony Aug. 16 on board
Camp Shields.
NMCB 1 is the last battalion from Gulf-
port, Mississippi, that will be stationed in
the Pacific. From now on, Pacific theater of
operations will be relieved only by Pacific
NMCBs stationed out of Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.
“Thank you, NMCB 1,” said Cmdr. Jeff
Lengkeek, commanding officer of NMCB
4. “Your hard work and dedication the last
six months will be a tough act to follow. I
assure you that [NMCB 4] is up to the task.
We have the watch.”
Cmdr. Kemit Spears expressed his thoughts
of the deployment and thanked NMCB 4
for its efforts during turnover.
“We have done well,” Spears said. “From
Cambodia to Timor Leste, we can redeploy
with the satisfaction of a job well done. The
turnover has shown the level of dedication
of NMCB 4, and they embody the can-do
spirit. The Pacific is in good hands.”
NMCB 4 took over detachment sites in
Cambodia, South Korea, Philippines and
Timor Leste in the Pacific; Diego Garcia in
the Indian Ocean; and San Clemente Island
and China Lake in California. The battalion
is deployed to the Pacific area of responsibil-
ity in support of operations spanning from
humanitarian assistance to strengthening
U.S. and foreign relations through construc-
tion projects.

Runners line up for the start of the one-mile Fun Run and Heat of the Summer 5K Thursday,
Aug. 14, at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu’s Family Beach.
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse
Nearly a dozen young-
sters closed out their sum-
mer by running a one-mile
fun run Thursday, Aug.
14, alongside Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu’s Family
Beach.
The run was held in
conjunction with the Heat
of the Summer 5K, the
monthly lunchtime run
for August put on by Mo-
rale, Welfare and Recre-
ation (MWR).
Eight-year-old Anaya
Ewing, who runs for the
Camarillo Cosmos youth
track team, came in first
in the mile with a time of
7 minutes, 55 seconds.
She’s the daughter of Lt.
Jovaughn Ewing of Naval
Construction Group 1.
Coming in first in the
5K was Paul Van Zuyle,
an information technol-
ogy specialist with the
Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing and Expeditionary
Warfare Center. His time
was 18 minutes, 45 sec-
onds.
Van Zuyle has won sev-
eral of the lunchtime 5Ks,
but he’s missed the last
few.
“I’ve been other places,”
he said. “It’s nice to be
back.”
Norma Santiago fin-
ished first among the
women with a time of 23
minutes, 54 seconds.
Gerry Legaspi, MWR’s
aquatics director, oversaw
the race and said there
were two key reasons to
add a one-mile fun run.
“First, it’s summer and
all the kids are out of
school,” he said. “And sec-
ond, you can’t beat it! It’s
a fun run at the beach!”
Eleven ran the fun run
and 26 ran the 5K.
The next monthly lunch-
time run is the Back-to-
School 5K Thursday,
Sept. 18, at the Bee-Hive
Gym at NBVC Port Hue-
neme. Registration begins
at 11 a.m. and the run
starts at 11:30 a.m.
1-mile fun run joins beach 5K
Paul Van Zuyle, an information
technology specialist with the
Naval Facilities Engineering
and Expeditionary Warfare
Center, finishes the Heat of
the Summer 5K in first place
with a time of 18 minutes,
45 seconds. Anaya Ewing, 8, the daughter
of Lt. Jovaughn Ewing of
Naval Construction Group
1, comes in first at the one-
mile Fun Run Thursday, Aug.
14, with a time of 7 minutes,
55 seconds. Anaya runs with
the Camarillo Cosmos, part
of the Ventura County Youth
Track Conference.

Mugulau surfs
wave of success
five other teams to win the annual contest Satur-
day, Aug. 23, at NBVC Point Mugu’s Family
Beach. Teams competed in tug-o-war, an obstacle
course, paddling, a seven-legged race, sandcastle
construction and beach flags, a sandy version of
Musical Chairs.
This year’s Battle of Commands was combined
with Family Beach Day, creating an event Morale,
Welfare and Recreation (MWR) dubbed “Mugu-
lau.” Families gathered to watch the competitions,
which in the past had been held over two days
during the work week.
“I think it was an exciting event — a successful
event,” said Kevin Ludwig, MWR’s athletic direc-
tor and one of the organizers of Mugulau. “The
beach was filled, and a lot of people took advan-
tage of the opportunity to try the outdoor equip-
ment available on base.”
As part of Mugulau, MWR’s Outdoor Adven-
ture Center made available several paddleboards
and kayaks and about 10 surfboards for people to
try. More than three dozen people checked out the
equipment.
The day also included several children’s activities,
including beach soccer and sandcastle construc-
tion.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, soda and water were
served free of charge.
Unusually high surf and clear skies made for a
picture-perfect Southern California day. The high
waves, though, prompted Ludwig to substitute a
Battle of Commands kayak race for a paddling
contest, where competitors had to run into the
water with a 40-pound board and paddle their way
around a lifeguard a few yards out.
Competing against NMCB 3 were two teams
from the Naval Branch Health Clinic — Motrin
and I Be Profin — a team from MWR, a team
from the Naval Satellite Operations Center (NAV-
SOC) and a team from Air Test and Evaluation
Squadron (VX) 30.
Motrin finished second, and VX-30 finished
third, followed by I Be Profin, MWR and NAV-
SOC.
NMCB 3’s team captain, Equipment Operator
1st Class Manuel Figueroa had high praise for his
team.
“They got their name out there,” he said. “They
did a good job.”
He planned to put the giant trophy on the desk
of Command Master Chief Joe Arnold “so when
he comes in he’ll say, ‘What’s this?’”

first time in the nearly decade-long history of the Battle of Commands that a
Seabee battalion took first place. w

NCTC
Nine students studying the
utilitiesman Seabee rating at the
Naval Construction Training
Center (NCTC) and three of their
instructors recently toured three
water and wastewater treatment
plants in Ventura County.
UT Advance Class 14020 at
NCTC, located at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme, took the tour during
their first week of class in July,
learning how water is purified to
meet potable standards and how
wastewater is treated so that the
final product (effluent) can be
discharged back into the environ-
ment or reprocessed to meet ag-
ricultural water demands.
The utilitiesman rating (UT)
encompasses six essential skill
sets — plumbing; pumps and
compressors; sewage disposal and
treatment; water treatment; shore
base boilers; and air condition-
ing. All those skills are needed to
ensure that shore base facilities
and forward deployed base camps
operate efficiently.
In this Seabee rating, every day
brings a new challenge to meet
efficiency while reducing costs
and protecting the environ-
ment.
The first stop on the students’
excursion was the Ventura Coun-
ty Wastewater Treatment Plant.
“It is always an honor to teach
the Seabees how the wastewater
treatment plant operates,” said
their tour guide, Joe Volupe.
“They are very knowledgeable
when they arrive and ask great
questions.”
The second stop was the water
purification plant in Ojai. Ignacio
Rodriguez, a 10-year veteran of
the plant, discussed the local
aquifers that supply raw water,
the filtration and technical treat-
ment process that transforms it
into potable water, and the dis-
tribution centers that feed Ven-
tura and parts of Oxnard.
“Seeing the potable water hold-
ing tanks underneath the curtains
and how the SCADA (Supervi-
sory Control And Data Acquisi-
tion) system is used to monitor
wells and the facility for this 15
million gallons per day is amaz-
ing,” said Utilitiesman 1st Class
Jesse Moore.
The final stop was the Port
Hueneme Water Processing Plant.
Here, students had a chance to
see a reverse osmosis processing
unit. Theo Provencio, a water
treatment level four certified tech-
nician, showed the step-by-step
process necessary to filter and
treat the water so it is ready for
distribution to Port Hueneme and
NBVC.
“To see the Port Hueneme wa-
ter treatment plant in action and
to know that it feeds 60,000 peo-
ple every day is just mind-blow-
ing,” said Chief Select Katleen
Fowler. “We are working on the
lightweight purification system,
a smaller version of Port Huen-
eme Water Treatment Plant, but
it is also a reverse osmosis unit
that produces 3,000 gallons per
day of potable water for field ap-
plication; the processes are very
much similar.”
The tour was organized by UT1
Juan Gonzalez, an NCTC in-
structor who wanted the students
to see that what they’re learning
are the same skills that utilities-
man in the civilian sector use.
“I just love to see the light go
on when the students grasp the
concept of what we are trying to
teach them,” he said.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
On Wednesday, Sept. 17, the Fleet &
Family Support Center (FFSC) will host
a career fair at the Bee-Hive Gymna-
sium, Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme. Don’t miss out
on this exciting event because it won’t
happen again until April. More than 75
employers and educational institutions
will be attending, looking for talent.
Dave Randolph, program manager
with AdvantEdge Technology — whose
company often exhibits at FFSC’s career
fairs — likes to hire vets. Although I’m
not surprised, I still had to ask why.
“Veterans learn a solid work ethic that
translates well into the business world,”
Randolph replied. “They bring a prov-
en ability to adapt to changing circum-
stances, improvise if necessary, and get
the job done. Every veteran, by the time
they complete their military service, has
spent some time in a leadership position
and brings that knowledge and experi-
ence to our company, making them
natural leaders for our teams.”
Military-friendly companies who hire
vets would agree wholeheartedly with
Randolph’s statement. Here are a few
ways you can prove you’re the person
they need to hire:
• Research: Start researching prospec-
tive employers who are planning to at-
tend. This will help you understand the
fundamentals of their business and will
help you develop meaningful questions
for the interviewer.
• Impress: Get your 30-second eleva-
tor speech down. This should not be
more than three or four sentences of
why you’re the person for the job. Make
sure to include industry buzzwords,
which signals that you know your stuff
and, in turn, their business.
• Resume: Tailor your resume to a
specific job by using key words and lan-
guage specific to the company.
• Question: Develop a list of general
questions. Examples include: What
types of positions are you looking to
fill? Can you describe your ideal candi-
date? What do you like best about work-
ing here? How would you describe the
corporate culture?
• Pay attention: Don’t ignore smaller,
lesser known companies because your
personal network will be your single
most important tool in accessing critical
information at small and privately held
companies.
So what’s next? Start by signing up
for free career readiness classes. They
include:
• Career Fair Preparation, Sept. 8 and
11.
• Interviewing Skills, Sept. 9
• Writing the Perfect Resume and
Cover Letter, Sept.10.
Also, consider taking FFSC’s hands-
on LinkedIn Workshop. LinkedIn is the
world’s largest professional online net-
work that many organizations use to
find new employees. If you already have
an account, start bringing traffic to your
profile by making updates to increase
your visibility on the newsfeed. Fine-
tune it to match the type of work you’re
searching for and join groups associ-
ated with that industry. Additionally,
and for the bold, start adding updates
geared toward your job search. Let your
network know you’re serious by saying
something relevant about the indus-
try.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you
to get a feel of what’s available!
The fair, which runs from 9 a.m. to
noon, is open to anyone with base ac-
cess.
To register for classes, call FFSC at
805-982-5037 today.

Predatory lenders are businesses that
offer short-term, high-interest loans, such
as payday loans. Consumers need to know
that payday lending fails to help solve fi-
nancial problems; 99 percent of payday
loans go to repeat borrowers, trapping
them in debt. Here are some frequently
asked questions about this topic:
Q: What can I do instead of getting a
payday loan?
A: Before you get a payday loan, you
should consider these alternatives if you
need cash or if you need to pay off a
predatory loan:
• Talk to your Command Financial Spe-
cialist.
• Visit your Fleet and Family Support
Center for private advice.
• Talk to your on-base bank or credit
union. They have been tasked to try to
help you.
• Talk with the Navy-Marine Corps Re-
lief Society at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty. They can be reached at (805) 982-4409,
or you can get more information on the
web at http://www.nmcrs.org/quickassist.

Q: How does federal law protect me?
A: The federal payday law protects ac-
tive duty servicemembers and their fami-
lies. The law limits the annual percentage
rate (APR) to 36 percent on payday loans,
vehicle title loans and tax refund loans,
and it prohibits a creditor from “rolling-
over” or refinancing the same loan be-
tween the same creditor and borrower.
Q. Who is covered under federal law?
A: Active duty members of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast
Guard, as well as Reserve members serv-
ing on active duty under a call or order
that does not specify a period of 30 days
or less, or a member serving on Active
Guard duty as that term is defined in 10
USC 101(d)(6); an eligible member’s
spouse or child as defined in 38 USC
101(4); or an individual for whom a mem-
ber has provided more than one-half of
the individual’s support for 180 days pre-
ceding the extension of credit.
Q: If I was previously on active duty but
am no longer, am I protected by federal
law?
A: No.
Q: If I am married to an active duty
member but I have my own income, am I
protected by federal law?
A: Yes.
Q: Am I protected with money orders,
Western Union wire transfers or cashing
checks at a payday loan store?
A: No. The law does not apply to these
kinds of transactions, even at a payday
loan store.

Sailors from Navy Cargo Handling Bat-
talion (NCHB) 14, located at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme,
and 5th Navy Expeditionary Logistics
Regiment (NELR), located at NBVC Point
Mugu, were among the crew of 100 that
supported phases one and two of the larg-
est coalition exercise in the world: Rim of
the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2014.
Their work was in support of Navy Ex-
peditionary Logistics Support Group (NA-
VELSG) and was a joint effort with NCHB
5 and Expeditionary Communications De-
tachment (ECD) 5.
RIMPAC is held every two years and is
a multinational maritime exercise that takes
place in and around Hawaii. From June 26
to August 1, 22 nations, 48 surface ships,
six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and
25,000 personnel participated in this exer-
cise.
Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Co-
lombia, France, India, Indonesia, Japan,
Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, the People’s Republic of
China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the
Republic of the Philippines, Singapore,
Tonga, the United Kingdom and the Unit-
ed States took part.
Navy cargo handlers had the opportu-
nity to load vehicles and emergency relief
cargo onto the HMNZS Canterbury, a
Royal New Zealand Navy multi-role vessel
(MRV), in support of a humanitarian as-
sistance and disaster relief (HADR) mis-
sion.
Among the vehicles and cargo were a
High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Ve-
hicle (HMMWV), a 15-ton truck, Millen-
nia Military Vehicle (MMV) and two
Conex Boxes.
This exercise allowed New Zealand and
U.S. Navy Sailors to exchange expertise and
logistics processes for loading and off-load-
ing cargo and vehicles after a disaster has
struck.
At the same time, Sailors on land, in col-
laboration with the U.S. Army and Seabees
from Construction Battalion Maintenance
Unit (CBMU) 303, coordinated the trans-
portation of food, water, equipment, ve-
hicles and first aid assistance to the simu-
lated disaster location using the Army’s
landing support vehicle (LSV).
In a joint support with Japan Maritime
Self Defense (JMSDF), they also helped
coordinate Japanese helicopter delivery of
four water tanks, tools and equipment.
The air cargo team also managed the off-
loading and loading of more than four tons
of equipment and material arriving at
Hickam Air Force Base in support of the
exercise.
Command and control is a key element
in coordinating activities between various
entities during any evolution. In this
HADR mission, a Tactical Operations
Center (TOC) — composed of both a
U.S.-based and a Japan-based TOC —
worked in conjunction with the United
Nations and the host nation. Ten Sailors
from NAVELSG served as advanced team
members, planners, liaisons to the Japan
TOC and communications specialists.
ECD-5 Sailors maintained the commu-
nication systems in and around the TOC.
As the exercise evolved, simulated casu-
alties mounted. The medical team in sup-
port of the U.S. Navy Ship Mercy airlifted
and treated more than 100 personnel.
Lt. Cmdr. Kane Sutherland, operations
officer of HMNZS Canterbury, said that
working with NAVELSG forces was a great
experience and that he looked forward to
working with the team again.
He said these types of exercises demon-
strate how joint coalition forces can work
together and provide rapid response to any
emergency in the world.

By Ensign Cassandra Fach
CECOS Public Affairs
Well before dawn Sunday, July
13, members of Civil Engineer
Corps Officers School (CECOS)
Basic Class 257 headed to Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu to participate in a
five-day field training exercise
(FTX), giving them a chance to
implement the skills they had
been learning in a classroom for
several weeks.
The 36 active duty Civil En-
gineer Corps (CEC) officers and
10 Reserve officers were divided
into four squads. Each squad
was assigned an advisory team
consisting of a seasoned CEC
officer, a Seabee senior enlisted
member and a Marine gunnery
sergeant.
Enlisted members from Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 instructed each
squad on how to erect their
Combat Operations Center
(COC) tent. In addition, each
squad received training on radio
communications, COC boards,
terrain maps and security pa-
trols.
All four squads were trained
for their security patrols on Day
1 of the FTX. The security pa-
trols provided unique challeng-
es combining squad tactics,
operational procedures and ra-
dio communications.
“We were surprised when a
man in civilian clothes walked
up to us holding an IED,” third
squad patrol leader Ensign Ga-
far Odufuye recalled. “After the
patrol, our advisers explained to
us that in Iraq, civilians would
walk an IED up to Soldiers be-
cause they were trying to help
us find them, but our lack of
experience influenced the way
the encounter was handled.”
The first squad’s second pa-
trol leader, Ensign David Perez,
echoed that.
“We would automatically as-
sume that every vehicle and per-
son that we saw was a potential
threat, which made for a very
slow and arduous patrol,” he
said.
The lessons learned from Day
1 would prove critical for each
squad’s first engineering recon-
naissance mission on Day 2.
Message traffic increased by
more than 50 percent on Day 2
to simulate a contingency envi-
ronment in which the flow of
information is constant and var-
ied.
After returning from their
mission, each squad prepared
an engineering solution and an
after-action briefing to be de-
livered to the FTX leadership
team.
As the staff intentionally in-
jected friction to see how each
squad would respond and per-
form, the squads worked dili-
gently to prepare better solu-
tions for the following day’s
missions.
After a late night spent plan-
ning for the next four engineer-
ing reconnaissance missions,
each squad had to determine the
feasibility of an engineering so-
lution within the commander’s
intent. The fast, stress-induced
pace of the CECOS Basic FTX
was designed to build responsive
skills and simulate potential
scenarios that CEC officers en-
counter in contingency environ-
ments.
The FTX was secured on Day
4 when the camp was broken
down and weapons were
cleaned.
“It’s hard work being a grunt,”
noted Lt. Scott Kincaid of
Fourth Squad. “It’s even harder
realizing that you aren’t sup-
posed to be the one swinging the
hammer.”
In his closing remarks about
the FTX, Lt. Liwei Chen, CE-
COS instructor, said, “I hope
the students have an apprecia-
tion for the tasks they will be
ordering their Sailors to com-
plete and the respective stresses
associated with their future mis-
sions.”
The main goal of the FTX is
to teach junior CEC officers
how to generate feasible engi-
neering solutions in a com-
pressed timeline while operating
within a simulated contingency
environment.
Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Jordan, CE-
COS Basic Course director and
FTX officer in charge, designed
this training exercise to provide
theory and practical application
based on four fundamental
principles: patrolling, COC, en-
gineering reconnaissance and
leadership.
CECOS Basic Class members
include newly minted officers
with a variety of engineering
degrees; lateral transfers from
the surface, aviation and sub-
marine communities; and lim-
ited duty officers (LDOs) with
15 years of experience in the
Seabees.
Jordan said members of CE-
COS Basic Class 257 learned
many lessons, including the im-
portance of preparing a defen-
sible solution to understand the
constraints of a given project.
“It is critical for each CEC
officer to understand which en-
gineering doctrine to access in
order to get the job done,” he
said.

‘It’s hard work
being a grunt’
made sure we got some of the yellow col-
lection bins here,” he said. “Across three
buildings, we ended up with three full
bins.”
Feds Feed Families is an annual gov-
ernment-wide food drive led by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture with support
from other federal agencies. Since the
campaign began in 2009, federal workers
have donated 24.1 million pounds of
food.
Last, year, the Department of Defense
contributed 1.8 million pounds of food,
and 1.2 million of that was collected by
the Navy.
At NBVC Port Hueneme, bins are lo-
cated at Personnel Support Detachment
(PSD); Fleet & Family Support Center;
near the pharmacy at the Naval Branch
Health Clinic; dental office; Naval Con-
struction Group 1; EXWC; and the Sea-
bee Chapel.
At NBVC Point Mugu, bins are lo-
cated in Building 1 and at the Navy Ex-
change.

BMX riders perform at NEX
“That was exciting!” said Avril Sam,
manager of the Point Mugu NEX. “The
customers loved it!”
Culinary Specialist Seaman Recruit Wil-
liam Adams agreed.
“That was fantastic!” he said.
The performers are with Creative Sports,
an Orange-based company owned by Dan
Hubbard, who served as emcee. Monster
contracted with Creative Sports to pro-
mote the energy drink, samples of which
were being given away at the event. The
Monster logo was on everything from the
riders’ T-shirts to the BMX ramps.
Edgar and Werrell used the ramps to
propel themselves into the air, where they
performed tailwhips and 360-degree no-
handers.
Midway through the first performance,
the chain broke on Werrell’s bike, and the
rider was thrown to the ground. It pro-
vided Hubbard with a teachable mo-
ment.
“This is why it’s important to wear a
helmet,” he told the audience.
Sereika’s performance was hampered
somewhat by the rough parking lot as-
phalt.
“He’s used to surfaces that are as smooth
as glass,” Hubbard explained.
But he still drew a big applause with his
stunts.
Sereika, a native of Salt Lake City, said
the military holds a special place in his
heart and he was honored to be on the
base.
“Hill Air Force Base was right next to
my house,” he explained. “I used to sit on
my roof and watch the Thunderbirds. My
grandpa was in the military, so I grew up
around it.”
The three-hour customer appreciation
event drew about 200 people and includ-
ed raffles, free food samples, deals on
Goodyear tires, karaoke contests and arts
and crafts for the youngsters.
