Why can’t spouses of civilian employees get a vehicle pass?
Question: I am a civilian employee at Naval Base
Ventura County, and my wife has been denied base
access for transportation. Since I ride my bicycle to
work, I often need her to be able to pick me up or
drop me off. In the past, this has not been an issue.
I am frustrated with the Pass & ID Office because
their policies are constantly changing, and they are
unwilling to treat those who have a career on base
with any respect. There is always a long wait, and
we get pushed to the end of the line.
I also understand security concerns of having just
anyone wander onto base, but perhaps the clearance
level of the sponsor can be considered when it is a
spouse whom they are trying to get on base.
Answer: The Pass and ID Office has received
several questions over the past few weeks concern-
ing spouses of civilian employees receiving vehicle
passes.
The NBVC vehicle pass policy is as follows:
Spouses of civilian employees are not authorized
to receive vehicle passes unless the employee has a
physical handicap requiring a driver to get them to
or from work, in which case the employee’s spouse
will receive a Care Provider badge that allows base
access.
Employees who do not regularly drive an auto-
mobile to work — including those who ride a motor-
cycle or bicycle — cannot obtain a vehicle pass for
their spouse.
It should be noted that an employee’s security
clearance has no bearing on base access.
It is the policy of the Pass & ID Office to grant
head-of-the-line privileges to those in uniform. Many
of our military personnel are students or are pre-
paring to deploy and must return to their duties as
quickly as possible. Moreover, let us remember the
sacrifices those in uniform make for us daily; stand-
ing in line a few extra minutes is a small token of
thanks that can be afforded those on active duty. w

More than 30 seriously wounded, ill and
injured athletes from the Navy and Coast
Guard will train at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme, Jan. 13-15 as the
base again hosts a Wounded Warrior
Training Camp.
Throughout the weekend, Sailors and
Coast Guardsmen will sharpen their skills
in archery, shooting, wheelchair basket-
ball, sitting volleyball, track and field,
cycling and swimming. They’ll be practic-
ing in the Warfield Gym, which will shut
down immediately afterward for a nine-
month renovation project.
The athletes are competing for a place
on Team Navy/Coast Guard at the third
annual Warrior Games in Colorado
Springs, Colo., April 30 through May 5.
“Each of our athletes would love a
chance to participate in the Games, and
the battle for a spot on the Team Navy/
Coast Guard roster will be friendly but
fierce,” said Capt. Bernie Carter, director
of Navy Safe Harbor, the Navy’s wound-
ed warrior support programand the spon-
sor of the camp. “However, the true pur-
pose of the camp is to bring these
recovering service members together, and
to reinvigorate their minds and bodies
through sport.”
During the camp, the athletes will be
supervised by an accomplished coaching
staff familiar with the varied challenges
wounded warriors face on the playing
field.
The final Team Navy/Coast Guard ros-
ter will be announced March 1 on the
Navy Safe Harbor website, www.safehar-
bor.navylive.dodlive.mil.

Three military working dogs
at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) helped four Cub
Scouts earn an achievement
last month, but they had to
jump through hoops to do it.
And crawl through tunnels,
walk on a balance beam and
chase down a bad guy.
Rocko, Foxy and Yago put
on a Dec. 17 show for the 6-
and 7-year-olds of Pack 3251
in Oxnard that the boys won’t
soon forget.
“They were still talking about
it last week,” den leader Diana
McWhorter said on the third
day of 2012.
McWhorter is a program
manager in the public works
business line at Naval Facilities
Southwest and had seen the
dogs’ new kennel on base at
Port Hueneme.
“The Scouts need to earn an
achievement by visiting a police
or fire station,” she explained.
“I thought seeing the military
police dogs would be different
approach.”
Master at Arms 1st Class
John Caral agreed.
“We’re always looking for
ways to foster community rela-
tions,” he said.
McWhorter’s son, Carson, 6,
was one of the four boys who
visited the kennel that Satur-
day. Joining himwere Matthew
Romprey, 6, Mundo Estrada,
7, and Elias Wagner, 6.
They started the visit by
peeking into a military patrol
car and touring the kennel’s
administrative offices, medical
facilities and storage areas.
They sawwhere the dogs live,
where they take baths and
where they play.
They got to see some of the
dogs’ special equipment for war
zones, including booties to pro-
tect their paws from searing
desert temperatures.
Then they saw where the
dogs work — and how.
One by one, Rocko, Yago
and Foxy showed their skills,
from jumping fences to over-
taking an escaping “suspect,”
well-protected with a thick
bite-proof suit.
“Yago gets excited when he
sees a bad guy,” Caral ex-
plained. “It’s like his favorite
toy. He doesn’t want to let
go.”
Foxy, the 3-year-old speed-
ster of the group, drew gasps
when she took off after a run-
ner. Foxy has been clocked at
roughly 33 mph.
After the demonstrations,
Cmdr. Chris Kenefick, opera-
tions officer at NBVC, brought
out his dog, Gina, for an up-
close visit. Gina, a 9-year-old
German shepherd, recently re-
tired after eight years as a
bomb detector, and Kenefick
adopted her.
Craig Romprey, Matthew’s
dad, said he was glad his son
had the opportunity to watch
the dogs in action.
“This is a very good thing for
the kids to see,” he said. “It
looks like these dogs are raised
with a lot of love. They cer-
tainly have great personali-
ties.”

Happy New Year! 2011 is in the rear-
view mirror.
Some of us may be rejoicing to see it go.
Maybe for you, 2011 was a “banner year.”
2011 was a learning and growing year for
me. It was full of changes, full of surpris-
es and a bit revealing as well. Please allow
me to reflect on my year with you as I
hope it will serve to spur us on to make
2012 a “banner year.”
This year I faced a mother growing
older — and the challenges that brings.
She spent several weeks in the hospital.
She lives on the East Coast, and I am on
the West Coast. What a challenging time
it was! My husband deployed. As Navy
spouses, we know that means he’s been
gone most of the nine to 12 months in the
work-up cycle, and nowhe’s “really gone.”
I went back to work full-time at a job that
I love — supporting military families —
but that was quite a change in my sched-
ule.
And then I got sick.
I have been authoring this military
spouse column for eight years. Over the
years, I allowed myself to believe that be-
cause I write and speak on the topic of
military spousedom, I, of course, have it
together. I was sure I had a support system
in place. When the power outage hit
Southern California, I laughed — I have
my emergency plan and kit. I have a game
plan for most eventualities. Isn’t fantasy
wonderful?
My fellowspouses: The past six months
were so revealing to me. I didn’t have it all
together at all! I fell off my pedestal. While
painful, it was a good thing. I learned so
much during this time, and I hope that the
lessons I learned, these experiences, will
make me a better columnist, a better com-
municator and hopefully allowme to pass
along to you my lessons learned so that
together we will navigate life with confi-
dence and each other.
I believed in the myth of the “Strong
Navy Wife”or the “Strong Military Wife.”
Do you knowwhat I mean? Able to laugh
in the face of deployment, traverse the
country in a single bound, unpack the
house from yet another move in under 24
hours and have a gourmet meal ready
without breaking a nail, breaking a sweat
and with my makeup perfect at all times.
Yeah, let’s let that myth die. Please join
me in a moment of silence for the “Strong
Military Wife.”
I hear time and again – OK, and I’ve
even said it – we need to be independent,
confident, resilient spouses. Um – NO!
Our Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Soldiers
NEVER go out alone. Whether it is on
duty, patrol or liberty, they have a battle
buddy. Why in the heck do we think spous-
es should be independent? We need each
other! I need you!
And that is where we begin our journey
for 2012: realizing we need strong, healthy
relationships and how to build them.
Please join me in the next edition for a
look at finding and building those rela-
tionships.
Until then: Happy New Year!

Since military children may have to say
goodbye often — either to friends or to a
parent — having a constant source of joy
or fun is important. Some children play
sports, find a hobby or maybe even play
an instrument. Military Child Education
Coalition and From the Top, an NPR ra-
dio program, would like to showcase a
select few who have chosen the latter.
The coalition and the radio program,
hosted by Christopher O’Riley, are look-
ing for young musicians with military
parents who are active duty, National
Guard, Reserves or post 9/11 veterans for
a live show that will be recording on June
27 at The Gaylord Texan in Grapevine,
Texas.
The weekly hourlong radio program is
heard on more than 200 stations nation-
wide. The show will be presented by the
Military Child Education Coalition at its
national conference. Fromthe Top’s 2011-
12 National Tour is sponsored by U.S.
Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth
Management.
Fromthe Top welcomes audition entries
from young classical musicians with mili-
tary parents, ages 8 to 18 who have not
graduated from high school. Solo per-
formers on all instruments, composers and
vocalists, as well as instrumental or vocal
ensembles, are welcome.
In addition to seeking talent for its up-
coming live concert in Grapevine, the
program seeks young musicians for other
concerts that are part of its national tour
on a rolling admissions basis.
From the Top’s variety show format
features serious musical performances and
lively interviews with some of the country’s
best pre-collegiate performers. This unique
blend of music, talk and humor draws
nearly 700,000 loyal listeners each week.
After every live concert recording, per-
formers are invited to share their music,
experiences and related passions with their
peers in schools and/or a variety of com-
munity settings through From the Top’s
Arts Leadership program.
Of the more than 100 musicians chosen
to appear on the radio programevery year,
approximately 20 will receive Jack Kent
Cooke Young Artist Awards in support
of furthering their musical education.
These scholarships of up to $10,000 are
given to deserving young classical musi-
cians between the ages of 8 and 18 who
have high levels of artistic achievement,
demonstrated financial need and a solid
academic record.
Application and scholarship informa-
tion is available online at www.fromthetop.
org or www.militarychild.org. Applica-
tions and recorded auditions are accepted
continuously and on a rolling admissions
basis.
Founded in 1998, the Military Child
Education Coalition is a 501(c)(3) global,
nonprofit leadership and advocacy orga-
nization focused on ensuring quality edu-
cational opportunities for America’s 2
million military-connected children af-
fected by mobility, family separation and
transition. For more information, visit
www.MilitaryChild.org.
For the past decade, From the Top has
been the preeminent showcase for Amer-
ica’s best young musicians. Through
award-winning NPR and PBS programs,
online media, a national tour of live events
and education programs, From the Top
shares the stories and performances of
pre-collegiate musicians with millions each
week. Each program provides a compel-
ling and entertaining window into the
world of a diverse group of young people
who pursue life with passion, determina-
tion and joy.
Fromthe Top’s training and mentorship
programs prepare young musicians to con-
nect with new audiences, serve as positive
peer role models and give back to their
communities in many ways. Learn more

Like many Americans this year, I have
one or two personal goals for this new
year.
As I look back and compare my past
resolution list with my current one, I no-
tice my life’s priorities have changed quite
a bit along the way. Not surprisingly, the
things I wanted to happen in my life when
I was 20 years old are not the same as now
— 20-plus years later.
Although my core values in life —faith,
family and country — have not wavered,
most of my lesser goals have. While I won’t
reveal my past stuff from my younger
days, I would like to share a couple of my
current life perspectives for the future.
Looking back at my goals and resolu-
tions in the past — especially during my
younger days — I see someone who is
more preoccupied with material things
and matters that don’t, frankly, mean
much in the big scheme of things.
As I grow older, I realize that while the
possibility of my owning a brand new
Porsche convertible is diminishing each
year, curiously enough, I find that I truly
relish keeping my 14-year-old Jeep run-
ning as long as possible. I figure within a
year or so, my Jeep and I will cross into
that exclusive 200,000-miles club. Lord
willing, another 100,000 miles after that
even? Besides, do you knowhowexpensive
it is to insure a fast high-performance
sports car? Not to mention the fact that
I would always be nervous whenever I
park my car somewhere!
My spiritual goals and prayer requests
for the upcoming year are increasingly
more about others: for example, health
and well-being for family members, friends
and loved ones.
Awise man once said there are two ways
toward the path for materialistic and per-
sonal fulfillment. One is the ability to own
or to have nearly everything you want to
buy. The second is to be content and at
peace with the stuff you already have in
your life.
If I may share one more thing with ev-
eryone: As I have gotten older, I have ex-
perienced the happiness and grace of be-
ing grateful for what I already have and
also wanting the best for others around
me.
God bless and have a happy new year!
New year’s resolutions change over time

Parents who think their child is ready
to move out of a booster seat and start
using only a standard seat belt might want
to think twice.
California law changed Jan. 1.
Now, instead of a child moving out of
a booster seat at the age of 6 or when the
child reaches 60 pounds, the child must
be 8 years old or 4-feet, 9-inches tall.
Weight is no longer a factor.
“This really makes more sense,” said
Monique Llanos, a car seat technician
with Safe Kids Ventura County. “Booster
seats are all about height, not weight.”
Llanos was at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC), Port Hueneme, on
Wednesday, Dec. 14, to help with a car
seat safety check. About 10 drivers pulled
up to make sure their child’s restraint sys-
tem was the right kind and was installed
properly. Several of these checks are held
each year.
Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Charles
Coleman with Air Operations at NBVC
Point Mugu was making sure it was time
for his 5-year-old daughter, Kirstin, to
move into a booster seat from the harness
systemshe’d used for many months —and
it was.
“It’s important for parents to check
regularly,”Llanos said. “Many don’t real-
ize how much their children have
grown.”
Children can move into a booster seat
when they reach 40 pounds and when their
knees bend at the edge of the seat when
their rear end is touching the back.
Kirstin is 46 pounds, and her legs are
long enough for the booster.
“We try to do a regular check-up,”Cole-
man said. “We want to be sure we’re in
compliance with the law.”
New car seat law now in effect

Kirstin Coleman, 5, graduates to a booster
seat during the Dec. 14 car seat safety
check at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme. A new law took effect Jan. 1 on
when children can move out of a booster
seat. The child must now be 8 years old or
4-foot-9; weight is no longer a factor.

NMCB 3
FORT HUNTER LIGGETT – The
Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 3 completed
their annual Field Training Exercise
(FTX) at Fort Hunter Liggett last
month.
The FTX, called Operation Bearing
Duel, prepared the Seabees to deploy to
a combat zone. To do this, the exercise
scenario included placing the battalion
into a fictitious famine- and drought-dev-
astated country called Menya in order to
provide engineering support to the Tran-
sitional Federal Menyan government.
“All of the scenarios that we faced in
Menya were to familiarize us with the
culture of various deployment sites of our
African deployment that is coming soon,”
said Lt. Cmdr. William Wohead, NMCB
3’s operations officer.
During many of the scenarios, actual
Kenyan and Ethiopian role players were
hired to act as the Menyan locals in order
to create more realistic training.
The battalion was evaluated on their
construction capability, mobility, com-
mand and control, and ability to defend
itself in a hostile environment.
“We moved a lot during this FTX,”
said Wohead. “We had 10 detachments
that had to go out and conduct construc-
tion and engineering assessment missions,
and in order to do that, we had to be
smaller, faster and lighter.”
At the completion of NMCB 3’s FTX,
Fort Hunter Liggett had four new South
West Asia (SWA) type huts, a timber
tower, a timber bridge, a crow’s nest and
some concrete pads for future construc-
tion projects.
“I really didn’t expect to move so much,
and I didn’t think that we would be ag-
gressed [simulated attack from an enemy]
so much during FTX,” said Builder Con-
structionman Brett Mehl, a new member
of the battalion. “Being in the fighting
positions [fox holes] is sometimes boring,
but it gets exciting when we get aggressed.
It is also interesting setting up the fighting
positions, especially when we have to get
it done in less than an hour.”
“Two things made this FTX easy for
us,” said Wohead. “We just came back
from Afghanistan six months ago, so our
construction and tactical skills are still
fresh. Another thing that helped was that
we conducted our RSO&I (receipt, stag-
ing onward movement and integration)
back in Port Hueneme, which enabled us
to have better training facilities and sup-
port so that when we arrived in the field
on D-6 [6 days before the official start of
the exercise] instead of D-8 or D-10, as
we normally would do, we could focus on
operations instead of the training.”
The biggest challenges associated with
this FTX was the lack of light, which re-
sulted in shorter work days, and weather.
The temperature frequently dropped to
25 degrees Fahrenheit.

MUSAQAL’EH, Afghanistan– Infront
of a crowd of dignitaries and elders, the
Musa Qal’eh crossing built by Naval Mo-
bile ConstructionBattalion(NMCB) 4 was
blessed and declared open to the public in
a ceremony held atop the roadway last
month.
“[This project] represents what Seabees
have done for 69 years. We don’t just build
facilities and roads; we build partnerships,
lasting legacies, solutions, and linkages to
improve people’s lives,” Cmdr. La Tanya
Simms, NMCB 4’s commanding officer,
said during the Dec. 9 ceremony. “This low
water crossing links Musa Qal’eh residents
with the Gereshk Road and Helmand
province’s capital, Lashkar Gah, to facili-
tate economic growth and governance.
That’s a big deal! Our Seabees and the en-
tire Musa Qal’eh teamshould be justifiably
proud!”
Standing on the crossing, seeing the vil-
lage elders and district leaders gathered,
looking at what his Seabees had accom-
plishedinsuchashort spanof time, NMCB
4’s Command Master Chief, Construction
Utilities Master Chief Michael Jenkins,
said, “I was very proud to see the troops
get the recognition from Major General
Toolan. The smiles on the faces of the vil-
lage elders and the district leaders said it
all!”
The wadi crossing project was truly a
joint effort by Navy, Marine Corps and
Army commands, not just NMCB 4. Sol-
diers from the 129th and 375th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalions convoyed
precast components from Camp Leather-
neck to Musa Qal’eh. Marines from the
7th Engineer Support Battalion (ESB) im-
proved low spots on the road leading to
Musa Qal’eh. Welders from 7th ESB and
Combat Logistics Battalion 6 were also an
integral part of the construction crew, and
the 2/4 Marines based at Musa Qal’eh pro-
vided security and helped procure the rip-
rap placed at the base of the crossing to
prevent erosion.
Personnel from 2nd Marine Division
(Forward) G9 included Cmdr. Edward
Leitz, the G9 project manager, and Zack
Mazraani, the civilian structural engineer
whodesignedthe crossing andworkedwith
NMCB 4 closely to refine the design for
ease of construction.
“It is unique for Seabees to undertake
such a project in Afghanistan because over
the last decade, Seabee projects have been
more expeditionary in nature and primar-
ily for coalition forces. This structure was
designed and built to be more permanent
and it’s primarily for Afghan citizens,”said
Simms.
“There’s a giant difference doing work
for the Afghan people instead of always
for the U.S. military; there’s a lot of satis-
faction. It’s a really good feeling hearing
‘manana,’ or thank you, from the people
as they drove or walkedby us while we were
working,” said Steelworker Construction-
man James McMahan, who has worked
on the crossing since its start in Septem-
ber.
“The best part of this project was watch-
ing as our crewdeveloped fromzero expe-
rience to really proficient welders so rap-
idly!” said Steelworker 1st Class Douglas
White. “There’s a great sense of accom-
plishment knowing that our job here has
a direct contribution to the counterinsur-
gency effort.”
Watching the ceremony remindedSimms
of situations during a past deployment in
Indonesia when she was a lieutenant.
“There was a similar atmosphere where
village leaders gatheredtobless the projects,
show their appreciation, and speak about
cooperation between nations. Seabees in
Indonesia and Musa Qal’eh understood
the impact they were making boththenand
in the future,” she said. “They didn’t have
to understand Indonesian or Pashto; they
couldsee the appreciationinpeople’s smiles.
Seabees are excellent contributors to what
we call ‘Phase Zero’ operations, the business
of preventing war.”

HAGATNA, Guam — A
Navy Seabee from U.S. Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 40 became a U.S. citi-
zen in a naturalization ceremony
conducted at the U.S. District
Court in Guam on Friday, Dec.
9.
Construction Electrician Con-
structionman Kallalobe Silman
was among 48 people from eight
nations who declared the Oath
of Allegiance to the United
States of America.
Silman was attending school
in Dakar, Senegal, for pre-med-
icine when he earned a basket-
ball scholarship to Southern
Nazarene University (SNU) and
a chance to play for the Crimson
Storm in Bethany, Okla. After
three years and not satisfied with
his academics, Silman joined the
U.S. Navy Seabees in July 2010
to see more of America, the
world, and serve his future coun-
try.
“My mom influenced me, my
brother, and four sisters to dream
and dream big,” said Silman.
“America is a place where you
can be successful in life and make
something of yourself; a place
where ‘we the people’ really
means something.”
As he recited the Oath of Al-
legiance, Silman said he reflect-
ed on his family and the tremen-
dous support he had received.
When asked why he joined the
Seabees, his reply was simple, “I
like the Seabee spirit and the way
Seabees take care of each oth-
er.”
During the naturalization cer-
emony, U.S. Magistrate Judge
Joaquin V.E. Manibusan Jr.
commented on the dedication
and sacrifices military personnel
make to support the United
States. More importantly, he
challenged all new U.S. citizens
to embrace their new country,
enjoy their new freedoms, and,
most of all, to register to vote
— a freedom that is suppressed
in many countries around the
world.
Silman achieved his major
goal of being the first in his fam-
ily fromDakar to become a U.S.
citizen.
Silman, who speaks three lan-
guages — English, French and
Wolof, a dialect from Senegal
— says his remaining goals are
to complete his initial enlistment
and see what military opportuni-
ties present themselves, or finish
his college degree and become a
registered nurse.

The new director of the Fleet & Family
Support Center (FFSC) at Naval Base Ven-
tura County has come full circle.
Laura Hamilton, who started in the job
in early December, grew up near Point
Mugu, where her father was an engineer
on the Harpoon missile project at what was
then the Pacific Missile Test Center. She
graduated from Channel Islands High
School.
Hamilton then spent some time experi-
encing the life of many who walk through
the doors of the FFSC: She became a
military spouse.
“Things were different then,” she says.
“Services like those offered through the
FFSCweren’t available. I was a young new-
lywed, making my first move away from
home.”
The challenges took a toll, and by 1986,
Hamiltonwas backinVenturaCountywith
her two children. She began a long career
with Ventura County Human Services.
In 2005, Hamilton was hired as the dep-
uty director of the Yuma County Health
Department, a position she held for five
years. She also earned a degree in business
management fromthe University of Phoe-
nix.
In 2010, she decided to try something
entirely different.
“I’d worked for county government my
whole career,”she said. “So I applied for a
position at the Yuma Proving Ground.”
The Army facility, which conducts weap-
ons testing, hired Hamilton as a contract
employee in facilities maintenance and
construction.
“I had to learn a lot of construction ter-
minology very quickly,” she said.
Planning, estimating, supplies, acquisi-
tions, payroll, service orders, even informa-
tion technology came under her purview.
When the two-year contract ended, she
was ready to leave “things” and return to
“people.”
“I am a real people person,”she said. “I
missed that connection to clients. I learned
that I need to be involved in social services
— that’s what I do, and that’s what I’m
good at.”
She was thrilled to be named the new
director of the FFSC and return to Ven-
tura County.
“If we can make people’s lives better,
even in a small way, that’s important,” she
said. “That’s what counts.”
Frompersonal experience, she knows the
difference the FFSCcanmake, fromlessons
in financial management to preparing for
deployment to a simple toddler group
where parents can chat about military life
while their youngsters play.
“I would have given a lot to have gotten
together with a group of other mothers,”
she said. “Many of these young people have
no family or friends in the area. They need
to come together as their own support
group, their own community.”
Hamiltonwill be heading upthe opening
of the newFFSCoffice at Catalina Heights,
the military housing development in Ca-
marillo. There’s currently a temporary of-
fice in the Catalina Heights Child Youth
Center, but a permanent office will soon
open on Calle la Roda.
Hamilton is glad to be back in Ventura
County for a couple of other reasons.
First, she’s closer to her now-grown chil-
dren. Her daughter is a homemaker in
Temecula, and her son is an Army captain
in Puyallap, Wash.
And the other reason?
“Strawberries,”she says. “Youcannot get
a strawberry anywhere else like you can
here.”
New FFSC director comes home to Ventura County
Construction starts Wednesday, Jan. 18,
on a major renovation to the half-century-
old Warfield Gym at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme.
Work is expected to take nine months.
When the gymreopens in the fall, it will
feature a mezzanine with cardio equip-
ment, newlocker rooms and showers, and
refurbished heating, ventilation and light-
ing systems.
Most of the cardio equipment has

Carrier Airborne Command and Con-
trol Squadron 116, the Sun Kings of Na-
val Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,
has been presented with the Golden
Wrench Award by Carrier Air Wing 2.
This prestigious award is presented to
only one of the nine competitive squad-
rons in the Carrier Air Wing for outstand-
ing performance in aircraft mainte-
nance.
Carrier Air Wing 2 commander, Capt.
Dave Silkey, presented the award on Dec.
21 to Cmdr. Robert Duong, VAW-116’s
commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Lawrence
Nance, maintenance officer, and Lt. Cmdr.
Michael Dagdagan, assistant maintenance
officer.
Several metrics were used to determine
which squadron deserved the award, such
as mission capability rate, sortie comple-
tion rate, adherence to maintenance pro-
tocol and aircraft appearance.
The award is a direct result of the hard
work and tireless dedication of the Sun
Kings’ outstanding Maintenance Depart-
ment, which consists of nearly 100 Sail-
ors.
“We’re really proud of our maintenance
team,” Dagdagan said. “This award rep-
resents a lot of hard work and dedication
from our Sailors.”
The Sun Kings are the first Fleet E-2C
squadron to operate the Communication,
Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Man-
agement (CNS/ATM) modified Hawkeye,
the newest version of the E-2C.
VAW-116 deployed with Carrier Air
Wing 2 onboard USS Abraham Lincoln
(CVN-72) for an around-the-world de-
ployment on Dec. 11. The squadron is
projected for return to Point Mugu this
summer.

Peter Volden always knewthere
were better safety goggles out
there somewhere.
The transportationmaintenance
supervisor for the Public Works
Department at Naval Base Ven-
tura County was tiredof the glare,
but other goggles he’d seen were
far too expensive.
Until Dec. 14.
On that Wednesday, between
buildings 66 and 67 at Naval Base
Ventura County, Point Mugu,
Volden found an inexpensive pair
of goggles that he said knocked
off 75 percent of the glare, and he
planned to recommend a switcho-
ver.
Linking the latest in safety
equipment with the people who
actually use that equipment was
the goal of the Dec. 14 safety fair,
which attracted a dozen vendors
dealing in everything from har-
nesses and traffic cones to flash-
lights, gloves and full-body suits
that protect workers from patho-
gens.
“We’re already buying safety
equipment, but maybe there’s bet-
ter, more efficient, more effective
equipment out there than what
we’re using,”said Lt. Cmdr. Rich-
ard Ficarelli, production officer
for the Public Works Department.
“We figured we’d let these guys
come out and showus their whiz-
bang stuff. We’ll take the best
ideas, the best feedback and pos-
sibly come up with multiple op-
tions for different items.”
Tina Perales, a territory sales
manager for Honeywell Safety
Products, showed the latest in re-
spiratory protection to Keith
Matautia, an electrical estimator
for the 30th Naval Construction
Regiment.
“Whatever keeps our guys safe,
I’mgoing to check it out,”Matau-
tia said.
Perales’ display table was cov-
eredinfirst aidkits, safety helmets,
earplugs and other equipment.
“The safety fieldis always grow-
ing,” she said. “Regulations are
always changing, and we always
have to be innovative.”
Tony Aguiar, the government
account manager for Grainger,
which distributes much of the
equipment at the base, said the
companies represented at the fair
sell more than 900,000 safety-re-
lated products.
“This is a just very small repre-
sentation,” he said.
Equipment Operator 2nd Class
Ryan Fuller, who helped organize
the fair with the Public Works
safety officer Dan Jaquez, said the
newest improvements to seem-
ingly small items like flashlights,
wrenches and flame-resistant
gloves can make a huge difference
when it comes to safety.
“Think safety twice and act
once,” he said. “That’s what we
keep saying.”
Ficarelli said he hopes to make
the safety fair an annual event.
“Safety is first and foremost in
everything we do,” he said. “The
budgets aren’t getting bigger, but
our folks are still out there work-
ing. Not having money isn’t an
excuse for putting our workers at
unnecessary risk. We need to keep
lookingfor equipment that is more
effective at keeping our people
safe.”

try’s first Americans duringtheorganization’s

dianandAlaskanNative(NAI-AN) Heritage
Month.
NSWCPort Hueneme Division Technical
Director Tim Troske provided opening re-
marks for the Nov. 29 occasion, noting its
importancefor nurturingdiversityandrecog-
nizing the valuable contributions of Native
Americans.
“It not only reflects the value of diversity
that NSWCPort Huenemecultivateseachand
everyday,”he said, “it alsoenables us tooffer
special recognition to the original people of
this landfor their enduringspirit andachieve-
ments that have helped shape our great na-
tion.”
Cheewa James, an accomplished author,
motivational speaker and direct descendent
of the Modoc Indian Tribe, was the featured
guest for the event. Using traditional song,
drumming and humorous storytelling, she
enthralled and captivated the audience.
James portrayedthe history of the Modoc
people and her lineage within the tribe. She
explained “the Indian way” of living a well-
balancedlifethroughtheuseof theAmerican
IndianMedicine Wheel —“auniversal pow-
ersourcebasedoncompassdirections.”While
her delivery was lighthearted, eliciting laugh-
ter throughout, her overall message was sin-
cere.
Speaking of her ownheritage of half Ger-
man and half Modoc Indian, James empha-
sized, “Color has nothing to do with what
people are.”
Sheclosedbyremindingaudiencemembers,
“Look to the simple things. If you do that,
you will realize that there is a heritage in this
country—that of aNative American—that
is offering you a wonderful gift today.”
Capt. DavidSasek, chief staff officer, Naval
BaseVenturaCounty, wasintheaudienceand
found James’ words to be inspiring.
“It was a great reminder tostepbackfrom
the hectic busyness of the day, enjoy the mo-
ment …enjoy life,”he said.

A foggy night greeted the more than 100 runners who took part in the 2011-12
Year-to-Year Run, an annual event at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, that
has runners taking off at 11:55 p.m. New Year’s Eve and running their way through
a 5K and into the new year. Crossing the finish line first was civilian Pablo Gallegos
with a time of 17 minutes, 13 seconds. Civilian Cynthia Navarro was the first
woman to finish, coming in third overall with a time of 17 minutes, 55 seconds.
Parker Aerospace, a business segment
of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the
global leader in motion and control tech-
nologies, recently announced that a pub-
lic-private partnership (PPP) agreement
has been signed with the U.S. Navy’s Fleet
Readiness Center-Southwest (FRC-SW)
in San Diego.
The agreement was signed on Sept. 27,
with a formal signing ceremony on Oct.
6. This ceremony was the formal kick-off
to the Parker/FRC-SWpartnership cover-
ing all Parker bills of material on F/A-18A
through G aircraft platforms.
Parker Aerospace and the Navy’s buying
command have finished establishing the
parts list for the product that will now
come directly to Parker.
The PPP supports the Parker Aerospace
Customer Support Operations strategy to
expand its logistic services offerings by
enabling the Navy to contract directly with
Parker on workloads that formerly would
have been direct to the depot without
Parker’s involvement.
“Under the PPP agreement, Parker sup-
ports the experienced team at FRC-SW
and supplies all of the parts and support
necessary to perform the repairs with the
mutual objective of ensuring service read-
iness of the worldwide fleet,” noted Vice
President of Parker Aerospace Customer
Support Operations Bonnie Peat.
The Navy expressed a desire to contract
directly with Parker on all the F/A-18, E-
2 and V-22 Parker parts, which has the
potential to generate $10 million revenue
annually. For this contract, Parker will
hire a resource to manage the business on-
site at FRC-SW. An on-site office and area
for Parker’s inventory and kitting of bills
of material has been provided.
“We’re excited about the finalization of
this new partnership,” added Peat. “It of-
fers great advantages, proficiency and
productivity to the Navy.”

The Fleet & Family
Support Center
The Fleet &Family Support Center pro-
vides Information and Referral (I & R) to
all service members and their families.
I & R links people and services. It pro-
vides information about a broad range of
community services that can enrich lives.
It can open doors and pave the way into
the community service system.
Some people aren’t able to obtain the
services they need—not because they don’t
knowabout themor because they’re non-
existent — but because they are unable to
state their case properly. When this hap-
pens, the person needs an advocate, some-
one who will state the case clearly and press
the service systemintoworking as it should.
I & R specialists can provide that advo-
cacy. An I & R program can be a valuable
aid in the planning and provision of ser-
vices.
By calling an I & R specialist with your
questions, you’ll save a lot of time rather

today’s operational environment,” said
Rear Adm. Mark A. Handley, Command-
er, 1st Naval Construction Division
(1NCD). “Both active and reserve com-
ponent units provided outstanding sup-
port of worldwide combatant command-
er requirements, including Phase Zero
operations, Theater Security Cooperation
Plans, Disaster Relief, Humanitarian and
Civic Action efforts, and OEF/OND mis-
sions in support of coalition, joint, and
special operations forces.”
The winners of the 2011 Battle “E”
Award were announced Dec. 22 in Vir-
ginia Beach, Va.
During its 2010-2011 U.S. Central Com-
mand deployment, NMCB 40 deployed
personnel across 12 sites, two operational
commands and three countries.
The battalion overcame significant lo-
gistical and equipment challenges in ex-
ecuting contingency construction missions
to support counterinsurgency operations
across four International Security Assis-
tance Force (ISAF) Regions: Regional
Command-North (RC-N), Regional Com-
mand-East (RC-E), Regional Command-
South (RC-S), and Regional Command
Southwest (RC-SW).
The battalion deployed its air detach-
ment two months early in June of 2010,
supporting Operation Hamkari Baraye in
Kandahar Province. The detail displaced
over six sites, constructing combat out-
posts, route improvements, and the build-
up of two Forward Operating Bases
(FOBs).
Their efforts provided responsive force
protection engineering to allow ISAF to
seize control of the battlespace.
Throughout the deployment, the bat-
talion executed 252 convoys, developed
three water wells, placed 4,465 cubic me-
ters of concrete, rehabilitated a trauma
center and completed three helicopter
landing zones, closing the final “Golden
Hour”gap in medical evacuation coverage
in RC-N.
The battalion also awarded 216 Seabee
Combat Warfare Specialist pins, 78 skill
sets through the Seabee Skills Assessment
Program, advanced 17 petty officers, in-
ducted 10 new chief petty officers, pre-
pared 99.5 percent of their personnel with
passing score in the BCA/PFA, sustained
above 90 percent in medical readiness, and
maintained 97 percent in dental readi-
ness.
The battalion also operated its own gal-
ley while forward deployed.
At the end of deployment, NMCB 40
closed the chapter on NMCB presence in
RC-N, leaving Deh Dadi II, Afghanistan,
the “FOB the Seabees built.”
The battalion embarked an entire
NMCB Table of Allowance to Camp
Leatherneck in RC-SW in support of a
sister battalion, NMCB 3.
In all, NMCB 40 completed a total of
60,654 mandays of readiness training,
security operations and construction task-
ing in support of Operation Enduring
Freedom.
Upon return fromdeployment, NMCB
40 commenced a structured training pipe-
line focused on developing technical and
tactical skills through formal and Unit
Driven Training.
NMCB40 proudly executed 194 classes
and 31 C-schools to prepare personnel for
the FY12 USPACOM deployment.
Furthermore, the battalion executed
various Unit Level exercises that focused
on skill proficiency, team building, and
unit cohesion: Small Unit Leaders Week,
Super Squad Week and Seabee Olym-
pics.
Finally, NMCB 40 conducted three
command post exercises, three embark
exercises, and training skill assessment on
construction readiness.
The battalion was the first to implement
the NCF’s newTraining Skills Assessment
Program, awarding 300 skills on Construc-
tion Readiness Training projects in-rate
technical trainer, and internal military
training.
NMCB40 personnel planned, organized
and designed a Unit Driven Seabee tech-
nical trainer to enhance engineer skills
among personnel while in homeport. The
battalion also put a keen emphasis on
personnel programs and small unit leader-
ship during homeport while planning for
a challenging deployment to the Pacific
Command area of responsibility.
It also received accolades for completing
“the most successful Field Training Exer-
cise in recent history.”
A total of 291 awards were processed
in the battalion for contributions in sup-
port of USCENTCOM, Operation En-
during Freedom. Awards included Senior
Chief Equipment Operator Shane Potts’
recognition as the 2011 Robert Stethem
Award recipient and Steelworker 1st Class
Louis Alvarez’s recognition as the 2011
Adm. Claude V. Ricketts Award for In-
spiration Leadership.
It has been more than a decade since
NMCB 40 won the prestigious Battle ‘E’
award, proving just how difficult and im-
pressive this recognition is for a unit.
When Fighting 40 last received the
Battle ‘E’ in 2001, the battalion had just
returned froma seven-month deployment
to Rota, Spain.
“I think it’s a great to get the award be-
cause NMCB 40 worked hard during our
Afghanistan deployment and shortened
homeport,” said Culinary Specialist 2nd
Class Antoine Jones. “It was definitely
earned and not given.”
NMCB 40 joins NMCB 28 as the re-
serve Pacific Fleet winner, as well as
NMCB 1 as the active and NMCB 26 as
the reserve awardees from the Atlantic
Fleet.
All four battalions will nowcompete for
the Peltier Award, named for Rear Adm.
Eugene J. Peltier, former chief of the Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks and chief of
Civil Engineers. The award recognizes the
selected NMCB as the most outstanding
during the prior fiscal year.

NMCB 40
OKINAWA, Japan — Sea-
bees from U.S. Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 40 as-
sisted in removing two local
Okinawans from their vehicle
on Jan. 3 after the driver re-
portedly lost control, slam-
ming into a tree on Highway
75.
The driver of the four-door
sports utility vehicle and her
young daughter were taken to
a local hospital for further ex-
amination after being pulled
from the wreckage. According
to witnesses on the scene, the
mother sustained some bruis-
ing on her chest from the air
bag, and her daughter had a
possible broken arm and head
injury.
Seabees on site directed traf-
fic for nearly two hours while
awaiting emergency response
personnel. They helped treat
the victims and took the ve-
hicle off the highway.
“We just heard a loud crash
from our project site and start-
ed running to the scene to pro-
vide assistance and help direct
traffic,”said Utilitiesman Con-
structionman Travis News-
trom.
Equipment Operator Con-
structionman Dillon Francis
said, “It’s a good thing we
were there to stop traffic so
soon. That corner is in a blind
spot, and another vehicle
could have easily come around
the corner and wrecked right
into her.”
“A few of us ran to the car.
When I got there I went
straight for the driver and no-
ticed she was in shock and hav-
ing difficulty breathing, so I
got her out, laid her down, and
began first aid,” said Builder
Constructionman Dereck Bon-
ner.
Steelworker 2nd Class Dan-
iel Strompolis said, “ When I
got to the car, Bonner was al-
ready pulling the driver out,
the car was filled with smoke,
I heard a little girl screaming
so I jumped in to unlock the
door so Newstrom could pull
her out of the car.”
“I’m proud of the way these
guys responded to the acci-
dent,” Strompolis said. “I
think our training enables us
to react without hesitation.”

He said he’s feeling the pressure now that he’s a Sea-
bee.
“I wish the best of luck to those on deployment, and
I want to do them proud,” he said. “I’m feeling really
good about this fight.”
Also returning to the box-off after a one-year absence
is Builder Constructionman Deangelo Davies, now with
the 31st Seabee Readiness Group at NBVC Port Huen-
eme.
Davies couldn’t compete last year because he was de-
ployed to Afghanistan. The previous year, he lost in a
split decision to a boxer who went pro immediately after
the fight.
“The next week he was on HBO,” Davies remembers
with a wry laugh.
A track star out of tiny Clinton, S.C., Davies, who’ll
be 28 later this month, discovered boxing while attend-
ing San Diego Mesa College. It’s in his genes — his
grandfather, Robert Davies Jr., was a Navy boxer. His
mother, Cynthia Davies-Merritt, was on a Navy softball
team.
With a record of 9-4, Davies says he feels well-prepared
for the box-off.
“I stayed in shape in Afghanistan,”he said. “An Army
sergeant gave me a punching bag that some of the locals
had made out of sawdust. I covered it in duct tape and
used it the whole time I was there.
“Plus, I’ve got a lot more experience.”
Newto the box-off is Oxnard native Danny Silva, who
turned 28 on Christmas Eve. The 2002 Channel Islands
High School graduate played basketball growing up and
didn’t discover boxing until three years ago, when he was
looking for a way to let off steam on board the USS
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN -71).
“I was introduced to it by a buddy, and I fell in love
with it,”said the aviation boatswain’s mate, aircraft han-
dler airman. “It definitely made life easier.”
Silva says he’s “fortunate and blessed”to be back home
for training, especially with the holidays. He’s thankful
for the chance to spend time with his mom, sister and
brother, all of whom live in Oxnard.
Also returning to the box-off is Master at Arms 3rd
Class Rhonda Mcgee, stationed at Guantanamo Bay.
Her first official fight was at last year’s box-off, when
she went against Crystal Renfroe of NMCB 5 — and a
tough home crowd. She lost that first fight and now has
a record of 3-3.
Also fighting in the box-off will be:
• Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class (AW) Carlos
Moore of VAW-120, Naval Station Norfolk, Va.
• Operations Specialist 2nd Class Gary Philpot, Com-
mand Carrier Strike Group 10, Naval Station, Norfolk,
Va.
• Engineman 3rd Class Richard Pollard, Amphibious
Construction Battalion 2, Little Creek, Va.
• Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Rosemary Ray, USS Ben-
fold (DDG-65), San Diego.
• Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Nicole
Saunders, Naval Computer and Telecommunications
Area Master Station Atlantic, Naval Station, Norfolk,
Va.
• Aviation Ordnanceman 3rd Class Jose Vasquez, USS
Carl Vinson (CVN-70), North Island.
The opening ceremony for the Armed Forces Boxing
Championships is Tuesday, Jan. 31. Finals are Friday,
Feb. 3.
Angels will be returning to Naval
Base Ventura County for the
first time in eight years,” said
Capt. James McHugh, com-
manding officer, NBVC. “The
Blue Angels will headline the
2013 Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty Air Show at Point Mugu. The
Blue Angels’ aerial maneuvers
will exhibit the professional
qualities of the Navy personnel
who fly, maintain and support
the aircraft.”
The Blue Angels flew in the
first air show at Point Mugu in
1960. Then called the Space Fair,
the air show saw the team flying
the F11F-1 Tiger.
Adm. Chester W. Nimitz or-
dered the creation of the team
on April 24, 1946.
More detailed air show infor-
mation will be released as more
military flight demonstrations
are confirmed.

NAWCWD
Henry Patterson has re-
tired fromNaval Air War-
fare Center Weapons Divi-
sion (NAWCWD), Point
Mugu, after 42 years of
combined military and ci-
vilian service.
Colleagues and family
members celebrated at a
luncheon held at the Bard
Mansion, Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Huen-
eme, on Dec. 13.
Patterson, a mathemati-
cian at the Threat/Target
Systems Department (TT-
SDTE), received three
awards at the luncheon.
TomDowd, the director of
TTSDTE, gave Patterson
a plaque recognizing his
eight years of dedicated
support. Another, present-
ed by Scott Foisy, Ph.D.,
the associate director of
TTSDTE, on behalf of
Rear Adm. Mat Winter,
NAWCWD commander,
recognized Patterson for
his 42 years of loyal fed-
eral service.
Patterson completed a
process improvement proj-
ect that helped the BQM-
74 target logisticians im-
prove their tracking of
maintenance performedon
the BQM-74 targets and
ADU-482 target launch
racks. He worked with a
team of logisticians and
engineers to design and
implement amemorandum
of understanding and a
schedule for performance
of maintenance on the
ADU-482 target launcher
and the AERO 7 target
ejector rack.
As a BlackBelt, withuse
of the AIRSpeed Lean Six
Sigma metrics, Patterson
helped streamline the TT-
SDTE engineering and
acquisition processes and
reduce the cycle time for
receipt of product. The
team that worked on the
AIRSpeed Information
Technology (IT) Improve-
ment Project developed an
efficient IT acquisition
process that reducedacqui-
sition time by 80 percent
and put in place a com-
puter communication net-
work which enabled de-
partment employees to
resolve IT acquisition
problems within the de-
partment.
In 2007, Patterson was
appointed executive direc-
tor for the Combined Fed-
eral Campaign (CFC),
which includes support for
all federal government
agencies in Ventura, Santa
Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties. He initi-
ated an annual CFC golf
tournament, implemented
a curbside CFCkiosk that
permitted participation of
retired military and federal
workers, and developed a
newbusiness planthat gar-
neredpraise fromthe direc-
tor of the Office of Person-
nel Management.
