Q: I am concerned about the quality of water we
drink here at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme. Sometimes the water smells so strongly of
chlorine, I can’t believe it’s safe to drink.
A: First, thank you for allowing me to address this
very important issue. At NBVC, providing you with
safe, clean drinking water is one of our top priorities.
We publish an annual water quality report, and our
system is constantly monitored and tested according to
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards.
Your water is treated using chloramines, a com-
bined chlorine/ammonia disinfectant. Periodically,
water systems using chloramines conduct a chlorine
“fush” to remove residual deposits in the system,
including excess ammonia and nitrates, and disinfect
the system. This process is recommended by the EPA as
a safe method that will not cause any adverse health
effects.
During this process, you may notice that your water
has a stronger smell than it usually does. This is a
result of both the process change and possible residual
levels of chlorine in the system during and after the
fush. According to the EPA, the maximum residual
disinfectant level goal for chlorine is 4 parts per mil-
lion (ppm). We monitor our water daily, and we stay
well under that guideline, generally under 2 ppm.
During the fush, you may also notice some discol-
oration or cloudiness in your water. You may also fnd
air pockets in the system. The discoloration and air
are harmless, but you may want to run water through
the tap until it runs clear.
Do you have questions or suggestions? You can
submit them via this forum at [email protected], on-
line using the CO’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.
mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/Na-
valBaseVenturaCounty. You can also follow NBVC on
Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia and keep

The ad could go just about
anywhere.
Help Wanted: “Once-a-week
position. Compensation in-
cludes free workout, nice
tan.”
Free to Good Home: “Fresh
veggies. U pick.”
Relationships: “Looking for
a nurturing soul who’s willing
to put up with a few weeds.”
The Religious Ministries
team at Naval Base Ventura
County is looking for volun-
teers to show some love to the
Seabees’ plot at the Oxnard
Senior Vegetable Garden on
Pleasant Valley Road.
“We need people who will
grow, sustain and harvest the
garden,” explained Lt. Lesa
Welliver, staff chaplain for the
base. “We’ve gotten the plot
back in shape, and nowwe need
a crew to take it over and start
the spring planting.”
Welliver and half a dozen
volunteers from the base —
most of them from the Naval
Branch Health Clinic — spent
Thursday morning, Feb. 13,
pulling weeds from the garden
and tilling the Seabees’ plot.
There are 19 plots, but the
attention given them isn’t con-
sistent, explained John Pardee,
a longtime gardener there: Se-
niors get sick, they travel, they
find other interests.
So volunteers from the base
have been helping keep up the
plots. About a year ago, they
even took over one plot and
dedicated it to retired Sea-
bees.
But just as Pardee learned,
finding a consistent crew of
volunteers to keep up that plot
hasn’t been easy.
So the Religious Ministries
Team keeps putting out calls
for volunteers — and people
keep responding.
“I like gardening,” Hospi-
tal Corpsman 3rd Class Lee
Scott explained. “I enjoyed
it as a kid, and today I want-
ed to help the community.”
He spent part of the morn-
ing wrestling with a tiller.
“That was my PT for the
day,” he joked. “I thought it
was just going to be picking
up weeds.”
Welliver, too, enjoys spend-
ing time in a garden.
“I love being out in the
fresh air,” she said. “It’s
great and healthy for all of
us.”
Pardee urged local retirees
to share that experience.
“People have to quit sit-
ting in front of the TV,” he
said. “People have got to get
some fresh air. No one’s ever
died from that.”
Anyone interested in vol-
unteering at the garden is
asked to call the Seabee Cha-
pel at 982-4358.

Hospital Corpsman 1st Class
Maria Pallares, a dental hygienist
with the Naval Branch Health Clin-
ic at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, offers the following
tips for parents of young children.
Do:
• Teach children how to brush
their teeth.
• Treat baby teeth like adult teeth;
avoid thinking “they’re baby teeth,
they will fall out eventually.” Chil-
dren’s teeth that are diseased hurt
as much as adults’ teeth do, and the
bad habits that damaged them will
damage adult teeth as well.
• Drink water instead of soda or
sugary sports drinks and energy
drinks.
• Consume dairy products to
strengthen teeth and bones and to
neutralize acidity in the mouth,
which can lead to tooth decay (cav-
ities).
• Eat apples, other hard fruits and
raw vegetables to stimulate saliva
flow and keep teeth rinsed.
• Take your child to the dentist
before his or her first birthday.
Do not:
• Put a baby to bed with a bottle;
not only is it a choking hazard, but
the liquid constantly bathes the
teeth, which can lead to tooth de-
cay.
• Give a bottle to a child older
than 1.
• Encourage prolonged use of a
sippy cup.
• Feed your child sticky foods, like
sticky candy or dried fruits, which
can promote tooth decay.
• Let your children brush their
teeth too hard, as it removes enam-
el over time. “Think of your teeth
as your car with a brand new coat
of paint,” Pallares said. “Your car
gets muddy. Do you scrub really
hard to get it off ? No, because it
will remove the paint over time.
While you can repaint your car,
once you lose the enamel off your
teeth, that’s it — it cannot grow
back.”

Dental hygiene
tips for parents By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse
It’s not every day you get to brush a
dinosaur’s teeth.
Preschoolers at the Child Develop-
ment Centers (CDCs) at Naval Base
Ventura County had the opportunity to
do just that earlier this month when hos-
pital corpsmen from the Port Hueneme
and Point Mugu dental clinics taught
them — and hundreds of older young-
sters at neighborhood schools — the
importance of dental hygiene.
February is Children’s Dental Health
Month. For the past several years, Navy
personnel have been spending a few days
of the month teaching children on base
and in the local community how to brush
their teeth and take care of them as they
get older. The lessons are tailored for
different age groups, so preschoolers get
Brushing 101 and fifth-graders learn
about the dangers of tobacco.
This year, 16 hospital corpsmen vis-
ited Laguna Vista, Bard and Hueneme
elementary schools, as well as the Port
Hueneme and Point Mugu CDCs.
“It’s important to educate kids — es-
pecially young kids — about how to take
care of their teeth to prevent future
problems,” said Lt. Krista Mattson.
The dental team visited the Point
Mugu CDC Wednesday, Feb. 19, bring-
ing the toothy dinosaur and an equally
toothy monster and monkey.
Mattson started off the morning by
reading Mercer Mayer’s “Just Going to
the Dentist,” then let the preschoolers
take turns brushing the stuffed toys.
In an effort to ease youngsters’ pos-
sible fears about their first dental visit,
they let the children try on protective
gloves and protective masks so they
wouldn’t be frightened at seeing a dentist
in full medical garb.
The team visited two classrooms — a
total of 30 children.
Each classroom had a line of labeled
toothbrushes against the back wall. Sha-
ron Nash, director of the Point Mugu
CDC, said the children always brush
their teeth after snacks, but a visit from
the dental team backed up the impor-
tance of that daily lesson.
“This helps children take better care
of their teeth, and it educates the par-
ents, too,” she said. “Kids need to eat
more vegetables and fruit, and they need
to stay away from sodas and coffee
drinks.”
Coffee drinks? Preschoolers?
“That morning sip of cappuccino,”
Nash said. “They shouldn’t be doing
that.”

If you have a child who is 4 and almost
5, you’re probably considering kindergar-
ten options. Most schools will begin ac-
cepting registrations in March, and many
charter and magnet schools have begun
accepting applications for their lotteries
as well.
Since many states have different kinder-
garten entry age requirements, here is an
overview of California’s rules. It’s impor-
tant to note that California has recently
made changes to its kindergarten age re-
quirements, so you may have heard differ-
ent information in the past.
The Kindergarten Readiness Act was
signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwar-
zenegger in 2010. This act changed the
kindergarten entry date from Dec. 2 to
Sept. 1. The law has been phased in over
the last two school years, with next year
being the final year for the phase-in.
Therefore, all children entering kindergar-
ten in fall 2014 will be 5 by Sept. 1.
Since this change leaves many young
children ineligible to begin kindergarten
if they have birthdays between Sept. 2 and
Dec. 1, a new program has been imple-
mented just for those children. Transi-
tional Kindergarten (TK) is the first year
of a two-year kindergarten program de-
signed to be a bridge between preschool
and kindergarten.
The entry date change and the creation
of TK address a longstanding need in
California. Before the Kindergarten Read-
iness Act, children in California typically
began kindergarten at a younger age than
kids in almost any other state. Starting
school at an earlier age often meant they
entered without the maturity, social skills
and early academic skills they need to suc-
ceed in kindergarten and beyond. At the
same time, kindergarten today is far more
academic than it once was — it’s similar
to what first grade used to be.
According to tkcalifornia.org, the
youngest kids in a kindergarten class risk
struggling academically, emotionally and/
or socially. At their young age, some may
have limited experience interacting with
peers and teachers, while others may not
yet know how to listen or follow a struc-
tured class schedule. TKensures that chil-
dren have these pivotal skills, which are
foundations to successful learning, when
they begin kindergarten.
If you have a child who will begin kin-
dergarten or TK next school year, please
identify your neighborhood school by
contacting the Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) school liaison. Most schools
will begin distributing registration packets
in March. To complete registration you
will need your child’s birth certificate, cur-
rent immunization record, proof of ad-
dress (housing agreement or utility bills)
and a kindergarten dental and health
screening (schools have the necessary
forms). Some schools will accept your
registration with the birth certificate and
proof of address but will require the im-
munization record and dental/health
screening shortly thereafter.
Although all school districts will offer
TKto eligible children, not all school sites
will. If your neighborhood school doesn’t
offer it, another school in the district will,
so check with your school district to find
out where the program is offered.
It’s important to know that TK is not a
required program. In California, students
are not required to be enrolled in school
until they are 6 years old. However, TK
and kindergarten are great building blocks
for a student’s future success. If your stu-
dent is eligible for TK, it will serve your
family well to look into it at your neigh-
borhood school district.

Worship schedule
He lived a life of profound confusion
and unresolved anger, given to unexplain-
able fits of rage. Though he appeared to
have it together, in reality Moses was a
walking time bomb.
“The Jerry Springer Show”would glad-
ly feature this dramatic story. Here’s a man
struggling to understand being abandoned
at birth by his own mother, yet adopted
by the royalty that triggered the infanticide
leading to his abandonment. Even though
he received an education from the best
schools in Egypt, he must have questioned
why his physical appearance looked dif-
ferent from his classmates; maybe they
teased him as a result.
What a troubling day it must have been
when Moses learned of his families’ di-
lemma caused by the hands of his care-
taker. Only a Jewadopted by Hitler could
comprehend Moses’ predicament. Pha-
raoh enslaved the Hebrews, so when Mo-
ses discovered he was one, his survival
meant living a lie.
Moses wrote the book of Exodus,
wherein he conveys that when the lie end-
ed, “one day, after Moses had grown up,
he went out to where his people were”
(Exodus 2:17). Once on the scene, he
fully encountered the reality of his father
figure’s evil. Seeing bruised and beaten
Hebrews working in the hot Egyptian sun
stung his heart and shortened his breath
knowing that his own mother and father,
if alive, were among them.
What he saw next ignited his years of
repressed anger. A big, bronze Egyptian
began beating the fire out of an exhaust-
ed Hebrew slave — and Moses snapped.
Assuming he grabbed the nearest weapon
of opportunity, probably a brick, he un-
loaded his life’s pain on the skull of the
oppressor. Before long he became Egypt’s
most wanted, and so he fled to the Mid-
ian desert.
As a fugitive, Moses started a family
and spent approximately 40 years discov-
ering himself as a husband and father. At
80 years old in his exiled state, he encoun-
tered God and received his calling to form
and lead the transient nation of Israel out
of Egypt.
This story teaches us the following les-
sons:
• God does not embrace a “zero defects”
mentality of the leaders he chooses. Rath-
er, God selected Moses to serve as the first
national leader of Israel — one might say
a George Washington of his era —in spite
of his flaws.
• The Bible portrays real people with
real pain and real problems. The argument
that the Bible contains a man-made agen-
da falls flat on its face as most men and
women therein have serious issues and
make major mistakes in life. Ultimately,
only God gets the glory out of each story
— not man.
• Obedience to God rewrites your life
story. Many say that one failure overshad-
ows years of wise and successful decision-
making. However, in God’s economy, one
decision to obey and follow him grants
you a second chance at life, ultimately
outweighing every bad decision you ever
made.

As tax season is upon us, now may be
a good time to take a look at your finan-
cial health. A good way to start might be
to ensure that your current tax status is
favorable for your situation.
If you have gotten married or had chil-
dren since the last time you updated your
status, you may be giving Uncle Sam an
unnecessary interest-free loan. Although
you might get a large sumof money when
refund time rolls around, this is less than
desirable if you have accumulated debt
throughout the year in order to do so. It’s
easy to forget that while we pay interest
on loans and credit cards, we do not re-
ceive interest with our tax refund. Why
not reduce the amount we pay in taxes
each month and contribute to a savings
account instead?
The difference in monthly federal tax
withholding for a single vs. married indi-
vidual making $2,000 a month is more
than $100! This discrepancy is even great-
er if children are unaccounted for.
Take a look at the current federal tax
tables at http://www.irs.gov to see what a
change could mean for your family. To
make a change, speak to your employer,
or military members can do so through
their MyPay account.
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
has many budget tips to get you on a road
to better financial health. Call 805-982-
4409 to schedule a meeting today.

The long-delayed expansion of the Fair-
ways RV Resort at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Port Hueneme is now
complete, and 85 spaces are nowavailable
to anyone with base access.
Paul Bruce, who has managed the RV
park for seven years, has been eagerly
awaiting the completion of the project,
saying the 34 spaces available in the past
were “well-populated,” especially in the
summer months.
“We have a lot of retirees bringing their
grandchildren,” he said. “On the Fourth
of July everyone lays on the grass and
watches the fireworks. The summers here
are fantastic.”
The RV park attracts people from all
over the country, many of them winter
“snowbirds” who travel a regular route
through the southern half of the United
States.
“There are a lot of retirees who compare
notes on all the parks on all the military
bases,” he said. “They’ve become friends,
and they meet each other in Florida, South
Carolina. They drive all over the place.
They’re busy.”
He sees some families several times each
year and knows many by name.
RVers are limited to a 30-day stay. They
must leave for at least seven days before
they can come back. So some head over
to the 79 spaces at the RV park at NBVC
Point Mugu, stay a week, then come
back.
With spots going for $30 a night for
those with a military affiliation — active
duty, Reservists or retirees — $900 a
month is cheap rent in Southern Califor-
nia, especially when it includes utilities and
free laundry facilities.
“That’s less than a lot of places out in
the community,” Bruce noted.
Department of Defense civilians and
those who are sponsored by someone on
base pay a slightly higher rate of $35 per
night.
There’s one space at the RV park that’s
free: the home of the camp host, a six-
month position that requires someone to
be home from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. seven days
a week. The camp host handles all facil-
ity emergencies and keeps the peace — a
pretty easy job at Hueneme, Bruce says.
Usually the biggest problem is someone
keeping a generator on into the quiet
hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekdays and
11 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekends.
In addition to free laundry facilities, the
Fairways RV Resort has a charcoal bar-
becue and picnic table at each spot, plus
a building with showers, free washers and
dryers and a covered picnic area with a
gas barbecue.
Acommunity fire ring is in the planning
stages so families can get together for a
group campfire.
The park can accommodate RVs up to
50 feet in length.
Paul Petersen has been coming to the
Fairways for nearly a decade. Retired from
the Army, he lives in Weldon, near Lake
Isabella, and stays in the RV park every
three months when he comes to the base
to fill his prescriptions. He likes the fact
that the Seabee Golf Course is right next
door.
“It’s peaceful here,” he says. “It’s quiet.
You can hear a pin drop, and all the RV’ers
are friendly.”
He likes the expansion but said there’s
only been one time he tried to check in
and the park was full.
“So I just went to Mugu,”he said. “Now
that won’t ever be a problem again.”

James Gomez was ready to shape up,
and he knew the way to start was to run
the Sweetheart 5K Thursday, Feb. 13, at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
After all, the last run he’d done was also
a base 5K — but that was nearly two de-
cades ago.
“I think the last one I did was in ’95,”
said Gomez, who works at NBVC Point
Mugu. “I want to get back into shape, so
what better way to do it than this?”
Gomez and his wife, Maricela, a local
schoolteacher, spent several minutes
stretching before the run began at 11:30
a.m. outside the BeeHive Gym.
This 5K — the second put on this year
by Morale, Welfare and Recreation —
drew more than 80 participants.
As happened in January’s race, the so-
called Frostbite 5K that took place on an
80-degree day, Paul Van Zuyle finished
first. The information technology special-
ist with the Naval Facilities Engineering
and Expeditionary Warfare Center had a
time of 19 minutes, 27 seconds.
So what prompted Gomez to start a
workout routine?
“The Olympics,”he said. “At each com-
mercial break, I do 25 pushups. Last
night, they had 12 commercial breaks in
two hours, so I did a total of 300 push-
ups.
“I feel good.”
The next lunchtime 5K is March 13.
Registration starts at 11 a.m., and the run
begins at 11:30 outside the BeeHive Gym.
It’s called the Sexual Assault Awareness
5K, and information booths will be set
up near the starting line. Info: 989-7728.

Thursday, Feb. 13. The couple is getting
back in shape after a long break from
regular exercise. Her time was 30 minutes,
29 seconds, his was 36:52.

NAVFAC EXWC
Naval Facilities Engineering and Expedi-
tionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC)
employees conducted a motorcycle ride for
safety Feb. 7.
Four Sailors attached to EXWC’s Mobile
Utilities Supply Equipment (MUSE) division
took to Southern California’s roadways as part
of the command’s inaugural motorcycle group
ride. The goal is to develop safe motorcycle
operating habits while navigating varied terrain
amid changing weather conditions.
“This is a wonderful idea,”said Capt. Mark
K. Edelson, NAVFAC EXWC commanding
officer. “We constantly reinforce motorcycle
safety during quarters and focus on the need
to keep safety at the forefront of everything
we do. This motorcycle tour puts those safety
tenets into action and allows us to operation-
alize motorcycle safety.”
The ride covered 67 miles, taking the bikers
over highways, through canyons and across
other challenging terrain.
“We kept it to 67 miles because we didn’t
want to get too far away,” said Engineering
Aide 1st Class and tour organizer AdamBinon.
“But we wanted to mix it up, to include high-
way riding, canyon riding, down hills, around
curves and other types of roads.
“This is a kind of mentorship program,”
Binon added, “where we can learn safe riding
techniques from one another while we’re out
on the open road.”
The four riders – Binon, Chief Steelworker
James Mathews, Construction Electrician 2nd
Class Anthony Biondo and Chief Construction
Electrician William Cappel — rode dissimilar
bike models, and their experience levels ranged
from novice to highly proficient, but each
looked forward to the opportunity to enhance
their skills.
Before departing, the group consulted a
lengthy checklist to ensure a smooth and safe
ride. Their course took them through Ventura
to Lake Casitas, Ojai, Santa Paula and Saticoy
before safely returning to their starting
point.
“This was the first of what we hope will be
many motorcycle group rides to reinforce es-
sential safe riding techniques,” said Edelson,
“and the training will help sharpen their skills
while demonstrating responsible riding for all
participants.”

The recently succeeded top enlisted
leader of the Naval Construction Force
(NCF) hung up his hard hat after nearly
34 years of honorable service during an
official retirement ceremony Friday, Feb.
14, at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
Master Chief Douglas Dickey, the 15th
Force Master Chief of the Seabees, leaves
an honorable legacy built on trust and
taking care of his troops.
“Three things are emblematic of Master
Chief Dickey,” said Rear Adm. Kate
Gregory, Commander, Naval Facilities
Engineering Command and Chief of
Civil Engineers. “He’s a man who got the
mission done, he’s a guy that takes care
of his troops, and he’s dedicated to taking
care of everyone. I’m happy for the fam-
ily, but I’m sad for us. We are losing a
legend.”
During three decades of service, Dickey
traveled across areas of the Pacific, Europe
and the Middle East, building relation-
ships and taking care of his Seabees. Be-
ginning his career in 1981, Dickey’s first
duty station landed him in Puerto Rico
as the Department of Defense Caribbean
locksmith. This rare assignment for a ju-
nior service member allowed him to trav-
el from island to island, giving him his
first taste of bothleadershipandthe Seabee
way of life. From there, Dickey built and
fought in nearly 10 battalions, providing
combat construction in Iraq and Kuwait,
building relationships in Saudi Arabia,
Spain and Scotland and providing human-
itarian support to the Philippines and Oki-
nawa. During each deployment, separated
from his family and loved ones, he led his
fellowSeabees in effecting positive change
across five time zones.
“People askme what tooksolong —why
didn’t I retire earlier,” said Dickey. “It’s
because of the Seabees standing out here
today. Now, it’s time to pass the torch.”
With active duty over, Dickey plans to
make up lost time with his wife as they
vacation in the Western Pacific.
“My wife is the reason I was able to do
all of this,” said Dickey. “I’m so happy I
married her and couldn’t imagine my life
without her.”

cessitatedbyeither combat or

This project, however, rep-
resented the costliest invest-
ment of all scheduled con-
struction during NMCB 3’s
Pacific Region deployment
and could not be handed off
to a relieving battalion. If
NMCB 3 failed to complete
thebuilding, Tongawouldnot
receive the only structure on
the island they could use to
manage severe natural disas-
ters.
Without fail, construction
needed to steam from 0 per-
cent to 100 percent comple-
tion under budget, on time
and with all relevant quality
assurancecodes met —apro-
cess knownbySeabees as go-
ing from0 to 100.
“When we got here, there
was nothing,” said Senior
Chief UtilitiesmanSteveHar-
vey, NMCB3TongaCCAD’s
senior enlisted leader. “We
had the construction plans
and a shared vision — that’s
it.”
With that vision, the Sea-
bees moved in with their en-
gineering counterparts from
the Tongan Defence Service
(TDS) at a local base andbe-
gan forging a friendship that
would become critical to the
team’s overall success.
From the first step to the
last, the Seabee/TDS team
conqueredhurdleafterhurdle
to erect the steel and stone
710-square-foot building. Un-
derconstant stressof timeand
budget, mistakes had to be
marginal or theproject would
fail.
“We didn’t fail —not even
close,” said Lt. Justin Webb,
NMCB 3 Tonga CCAD of-
ficer incharge. “We complet-
ed our project under our al-
lottedbudget andwithnearly
500 fewer man hours.”
According to NMCB 3’s
senior leadership and mem-
bers of senior construction
commands, the completed
building represents the kind
of quality construction the
Seabees’ “can do”reputation
was founded on.
“To say I’m proud of my
guys doesn’t cut it; not by a
longshot,”Webbsaid. “They
have exceeded every expecta-
tionandput forththekindof
effort and attention to detail
you dream of seeing as a
leader. Our level of success
stemmed from each person
taking the absolute greatest

each team, known as Construction Civ-
ic Action Details (CCAD), was to execute
engineering civic assistance projects, con-
duct formal training with the host nations
and performcommunity relations (COM-
REL) events to help enhance shared ca-
pabilities and improve the country’s social
welfare.
The teams also conducted operations
in Atsugi, Yokosuka and Okinawa, Japan;
Chinhae, Republic of Korea; and China
Lake and San Clemente Island. These
details helped improve the infrastructure
of the local bases, excavated local miner-
als, conducted training with host nation
militaries and performed COMRELs.
“During each stage of this deployment,
NMCB 3 showed the world how a con-
struction battalion can improve their host
nation’s infrastructure, military profi-
ciency and then build lasting relation-
ships with the local communities,” said
Cmdr. Gordon Meek III, NMCB 3’s
commanding officer. “I couldn’t be
prouder of our battalion. Our personal
behavior during off hours set the golden
standard of positive ambassadorship, and
when on the clock, their focus and mo-
tivation was nothing short of impres-
sive.”
NMCB 3 will soon begin its homeport
training cycle that will ensure the unit is
prepared for its next deployment, sched-
uled for 2015.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 Seabees recently completed five
days of field and Seabee combat warfare
instruction.
NMCB 5’s first-class petty officers led,
with the assistance of second-class petty
officers, the introduction of basic field op-
erations to new battalion personnel not
acquainted with being a ground support
unit.
“We [first-class petty officers] wanted to
provide anopportunityfor people whohave
not received their Seabee combat warfare
specialist (SCWS) qualification to gain
some practical hands-on training,” said
Utilitiesman 1st Class Richard Johnson,
the command SCW coordinator.
“This was a way we could introduce new
personnel to the SCWS program and de-
mystify howhard it looks when looking at
the [qualification] books,” he explained.
“We showed themhowsimple some of the
blocks in their books are to get signed
off.
“Along with showing them how the
smaller bits fit into the larger picture, this
training gave them confidence to pursue
more training and getting their [qualifica-
tion] books signed off.”
On the first day of last month’s instruc-
tion, 100 Seabees were separated into
squads of 10 to 12 people. Instructors
helped the students adjust their Kevlar
helmets and 20-pound armored vests to
make them more effective and comfort-
able.
During the week, students went through
training onhowtoreadandoperate boards
in the combat operations center, how to
build terrain models for patrols, howto use
two-person fighting positions, howto write
fire plans for a crew-serve weapon (M-240
Bravo machine gun), how to write patrol
orders, how to use radios and how to ma-
neuver on patrols.
“The topics covered are only 10 percent
of the overall qualification, but 80 percent
of what they will have to perform during
the [practical applications] boards,” John-
son said.
“I thought it was great training,” said
Logistics Specialist Seaman Larry Lavey.
“It helped me understand some of the [ter-
minology] used and gave me an idea of
what to expect during field exercises.”
Instructors also gave advice on what to
expect during field operations and how to
be better prepared for the field. They ex-
plained howweather and terrain affect not
only how missions are executed, but also
how personnel have to adapt to operate
effectively.
“This was a great way for us to introduce
and welcome our newSeabees to [NMCB]
5 culture,”saidCmdr. CameronGeertsema,
the commanding officer of NMCB 5.
The Seabees who went through the train-
ing were either checking into their first
operational command or were from the
fleet, where the culture and training are
different than in a ground unit.
“The instructors did a phenomenal job
and have helped improve the readiness of
the command,” Geertsema said. “I look
forward to seeing howthey will mentor our
new Seabees in the future.”

The Fleet & Family
Support Center
By definition, “transition” means the
“process of change,” and a process is a
series of actions. Put them together and
you have a pretty accurate description of
what the Transition GPS program is all
about.
When leaving the military, whether
separating or retiring, our service members
have to begin to envision their future and
create a transition plan to obtain their
goals.
Deciding your future can seem like an
overwhelming task for many, but when
broken down in a logical sequence of steps
and given enough time, success is much
easier to attain.
The path to separation ideally begins
12 months before separation or 24 months
before retirement. It includes meetings
with the Command Career Counselor
(CCC), a pre-separation counseling check-
list and attending the Transition GPS
course. This five-day course has undergone
a complete revision due to the Veterans
Opportunity to Work (VOW) Act, signed
by President Obama in November of 2011,
and the Veterans Employment Initiative.
Their goal was to decrease veterans’ un-
employment rates and increase veterans’
chances of success in the civilian work-
force.
Attendees learn how to translate their
military experience and training into civil-
ian terms, as well as personal financial
planning for their transition. Through our
partnership with Department of Labor,
service members continue to develop their
Individual Transition Plan (ITP), under-
stand job search organization, obtain and
practice interview skills and learn tips on
how to parlay their valuable transferable
skills to a corporate or federal resume.
The Veterans Affairs presenters educate
service members on their VA education
and health benefits, disability claims,
forms and howto use the eBenefits website
to track their status and more.
After the five-day Transition GPS
course, service members have the oppor-
tunity to attend one of our three different
two-day tracks, which are specialized for
those who want to start or continue their
higher education with a traditional asso-
ciate’s or bachelor’s degree, complete train-
ing in a technical or vocational school, or
become an entrepreneur and start a busi-
ness. These training tracks are best suited
to those who have already attended GPS,
but that’s not mandatory.
Ideally at this point, service members
still have at least three months left before
EOAS or terminal leave and will need to
attend a Capstone Workshop. This is
meant to ensure that all of the Career
Readiness Standards have been met and
any necessary referrals are given. Work-
shop attendees should have their ITP, re-
sume, budgets and other required docu-
ments completed before attending.
Transitioning active duty personnel have
priority registration for all GPS classes,
but spouses are welcome and encouraged
to attend.
If you have any questions about the
Transition GPS program or if you want
to register for the course, contact your
Command Career Counselor if you have
one. If your command doesn’t have a
CCC, please contact the Fleet & Family
Support Center at 805-982-5037 for as-
sistance.

ing injury in the workplace,” explained
Ramona Pagel, manager of the Bee-Fit.
“The whole purpose is to keep people
healthy, productive and doing what they
want to be doing.”
The equipment, valued at more than
$22,000, came from a $300,000 Navy Fit-
ness grant that is supplying newequipment
to installations all over the world as part
of the Navy’s new training regimen called
NOFFS —Navy Operational Fitness and
Fueling System.
Inmid-April, sevenpieces of FreeMotion
equipment and two newtreadmills will be
installed at Warfield Gym, according to
Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR)
managers on base.
Like the older Life Fitness equipment,
FreeMotion incorporates a system of
cables, pulleys and weights that allows the
user to control the intensity of the work-
out.
What makes it different is that it uses
hand grips and foot straps instead of bars
so users can rotate their arms and legs and
increase the range of motion.
Each piece also allows users to sit or
stand; standing works the core and
strengthens balance.
Kovit Markklam, a retiree who now
works in quality control and safety, was
using the FreeMotion lift machine a few
days after the equipment was installed. It
mimics a dead lift and strengthens the
extremities and lower back.
“It’s awesome,” he said. “It’s a lot
smoother than the older machines.”
Pagel said the lift forces users to imitate
the motions they do at work and in day-
to-day life and strengthen the muscles used
in those motions.
“Lifting and turning require strong hips
and core as well as strong extremities,”she
said.
Moving into a lunge works different leg
and hip muscles and strengthens a differ-
ent part of the core.
The FreeMotion step machine also
works the core, legs and hips. But if the
user turns sideways, it mimics an entirely
different everyday motion: getting in and
out of a high truck or van.
The other 10 machines are the squat,
quad, hamstring, abdominal, row, bicep,
tricep, shoulder, chest and lat.
Each machine has drawings that show
the proper way to do different exercises.
Pagel offered the following tips:
• Always start low with the weights and
build up over time. Too much weight too
soon can damage the very muscles you’re
trying to strengthen.
• Make sure your core is strong and tight
before you begin lifting. “Press the belly
button to the spine,” is how Pagel puts
it.
• Start slowon a newmachine. “Do one
set and wait to see where you’re sore the
next day and adjust accordingly,” Pagel
advised. “I see people come in and do two
or three sets and then not be able to walk
the next day. Go slow.”
She recommends that since it’s a circuit-
training system, “do one set on everything
to see how it works.”
The new FreeMotion treadmill offers
the most intense workout of any treadmill
on base, Pagel said.
“At a 30-degree incline, just walking will
give you an intense workout,” she said.
The Bee-Fit is open from 6 a.m. to 6:30
p.m. Monday through Thursday.
