Q: Why are families with pit bulls not allowed to live in
base housing? I understand the stigma surrounding these
dogs, but it’s based on fear and is untrue. Was there any
real research done on this issue before this rule was made?
A: Thank you for allowing me to address this issue.
The breed restriction policy is not a local decision. The
Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) in-
struction governing housing standardization, CNICINST
11103.2, dated September 2009, requires all privatized
government housing throughout the Navy to have breed
restrictions “consistent with local installation policies and
state and local restrictions that may ban aggressive or
potentially aggressive breeds.”
Because policies vary widely from community to com-
munity, each installation in turn had different policies.
In 2010, Navy Region Southwest, of which we are a
part, made a decision, in cooperation with Lincoln Mili-
tary Housing, to standardize the breed restriction policy
for all regional installations. This restriction, which
includes pit bulls, Rottweilers and Doberman pinschers,
went into effect Oct. 1, 2010.
The current policy is in line with other Navy regions
and is spelled out in a lease addendum pet owners must
sign when living in military housing.
The same pet addendum also bans “any pet that bites a
human, or another animal, regardless of circumstances.”
Should my golden retriever bite my neighbor, the pet policy
in housing requires me to “immediately and permanently
remove” my pet from housing. This is done in the interest
of maintaining a safe community for our families.
Pet ownership is viewed as a tangible quality of life
beneft, but that beneft must be balanced with the safety
and perceived comfort of everyone who lives here. To that
end, these standardized policies were created and are
enforced throughout the region.

Chief Builder Eric Chamberlin of the Naval Construction
Training Center (NCTC) at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, has been selected as the Naval Education and Train-
ing Command (NETC) Senior Enlisted Instructor of the Year
from among hundreds of naval instructors.
Chamberlin was one of four instructors of the year (IOY)
recognized by NETC at a Dec. 12 ceremony in the National
Museum of Naval Aviation at Naval Air Station Pensacola,
Fla.
Chamberlin, originally from Grand Ledge, Mich., joined the
Navy in 1999. During his current assignment to NCTC, he
teaches the Builder Advanced ‘C’ School Pipeline, Heavy Tim-
ber Construction and Powder Actuated Tools courses and serves
as the Builder School House director.
“I really enjoy teaching and enjoy teaching my rating even
more,” he said. “Teaching perpetuates the cycle of skills and
knowledge, which for us is a basic necessity in a system such as
the military. As senior enlisted leaders, teaching keeps us in
touch with younger generations of Sailors and helps us maintain
our skills as subject matter experts.”
The NCTC commanding officer, Cmdr. Dan Cook, called it
a “great honor” for Chamberlin.
“We feel strongly about the quality of his teaching and the
breadth of his contributions,” Cook said. “So it is really grati-
fying to see him rewarded for his dedication and effort. The
whole command is very proud of him, and we are happy to

Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 4 recently
took advantage of one of the most valu-
able training tools available to them: the
Seabee Technical Trainer at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Huen-
eme.
The Seabee Tech Trainer helps Seabees
sharpen their construction skills through
hands-on training while in homeport.
“Every Seabee needs to know basic
construction, whether it be frame work or
how to hammer a nail in properly,” said
Utilitiesman 3rd Class Amanda Flores.
“It’s still useful in the long run.”
The Seabee Tech Trainer allows for both
new and experienced Seabees to gain
knowledge and sharpen their skills in a
learning environment close to home.
Seabees from NMCB 4 recently used
the Rough Electrical and Rough Mechan-
ical modules. Under the guidance and
supervision of Utilitiesman 1st Class Alan
Hampson and Construction Electrician
2nd Class Sherwin Gomez, seven Seabees
successfully installed 60 feet of copper
piping, a water heater, a toilet and a sink.
They also ran 500 feet of wire with the
necessary connections to install outlets.
The crew meticulously applied their
technical know-how and completed the
work in five days, all while gaining valu-

VAW-117
The “Wallbangers”of Carrier Airborne
Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 117 re-
turned home to Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Point Mugu Tuesday,
Dec. 10, after an eight-month deployment
aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68).
The squadron was deployed with the
Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and Carrier
Air Wing (CVW) 11 to the U.S. 5th, 6th
and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility and
flew missions in support of Operation
Enduring Freedom. Overall, the squadron
flew more than 500 missions, culminating
in 1,900 mishap-free flight hours.
VAW-117 visited ports in South Korea,
Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Bah-
rain and Italy. While in South Korea,
members of the squadron visited an or-
phanage and built a wall that will help
protect the facility during strong storms.
In Thailand, several Wallbangers helped
repaint a school, install a new security
fence and clear debris from the school
yard.
“I think community service was one of
the most rewarding things I did during
cruise,” said Lt. Achala Edirisinghe.
“Through community service, I was able
to gain a new perspective of the Thai cul-
ture and their values with a very personal
experience.”
Many milestones were met by VAW-117
pilots and flight officers on this deploy-
ment. The squadron’s outstanding landing
grades earned it the coveted “Golden
Hook” award for having the best overall
landing performance of the fixed-wing
squadrons.
For maintenance excellence, the Wall-
bangers also received the air wing’s “Gold-
en Wrench” award, which was presented
by Capt. Kevin “Nix”Mannix, command-
er of CVW-11. Squadron maintainers were
tasked to keep up with a rigorous flight
schedule, and their hard work and long
hours contributed to the squadron’s 99.7
percent mission completion rate. The
Wallbangers consistently had all aircraft
ready to launch off the carrier at a mo-
ment’s notice.
VAW-117 also successfully executed an
“aircraft swap” with the VAW-115 “Lib-
erty Bells” of CVW-5 aboard the aircraft
carrier USS George Washington (CVN
73). VAW-117 transferred four upgraded
E-2C glass-cockpit Hawkeyes to the Lib-
erty Bells and received four legacy steam
gauge Hawkeyes that will undergo main-
tenance in VAW-117’s homeport.
During the deployment, the Wallbangers
paid homage to prior VAW-117 Sailors by
wearing vintage lemur patches on their
flight suits and uniforms. The lemur was
an unofficial mascot adopted by members
of VAW-117 during their 1980-81 deploy-
ment aboard the aircraft carrier USS
Ranger (CV 61). The lemur was meant to
emphasize the far-sighted early warning
capability of the E-2 Hawkeye.
To round out their deployment, friends
and family were invited to come aboard
Nimitz for the transit from Hawaii to San
Diego. The event, known as Tiger Cruise,
gave loved ones the opportunity to expe-
rience howthe squadron and carrier oper-
ate when deployed. As part of the Tiger
Cruise festivities, the air wing flew an air
power demo that allowed riders to see
flight deck operations firsthand.
VAW-117’s E-2C Hawkeyes provide ra-
dar coverage for every facet of strike group
defense. All data obtained on board the
airplane can be relayed to surface com-
mand posts for display and decision-mak-
ing, giving air defense commanders the
most complete, up-to-the-minute picture
of theater operations possible.

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays
behindus, it’s time tostart looking at the new
year—not just thenewcalendaryear, but also
the new school year of fall 2014. It seems so
faraway, but it will comefasterthanyouthink.
Moreimportantly, schoolswill beginaccepting
registrationandtransfer requests very soon.
If you have a student enrolling in a new
school nextyear—kindergarten, middleschool
orhighschool —start lookingat youroptions
now. If youintendfor your childtoattendthe
neighborhoodschool, registrationcouldbegin
asearlyasFebruary, mostlikelybyApril. How-
ever, if you’dlike toconsider a school outside
the neighborhood, paperworkcouldbeginto
be acceptedas early as January.
Youmight want toknowwhat some of the
educationoptionsareinVenturaCounty. Here
is a brief overview:
School transfers
There are twotypes of school transfers: in-
tradistrict andinterdistrict. Intradistrict means
yourequest togotoaschool withinyourhome
district; interdistrictisoutsidethehomedistrict.
As space is available, these transfers may or
maynot beapproved. If approved, transporta-
tionis the parent’s responsibility.
Some districts begin the request process
early in the calendar year for the next school
year.
If afamilyisrequestinganinterdistricttrans-
fer, the move must be approvedby the school
district of residencethat will be“releasing”the
student and the school district accepting the
student. That being the case, now is the time
to begin the process. Priority deadline is typi-
cally inFebruary or March.
Charter schools and magnet schools
Acharter school is a public school that op-
erates independently of the school district
structure. Eachcharter school has its ownreg-
istrationprocessandregistrationperiod. Often
the registration period is the beginning of the
calendar year for the following school year.
Transportationistheresponsibilityof thepar-
ent.
A magnet school operates within a school
district; however, it tends tohave afocus area,
suchas technologyor science, whilestill fulfill-
ing all California Department of Education
requirements. Often, enrollment is basedona
lotterythat isusuallyheldearlyinthecalendar
year.
Private schools
Althoughcost andtransportationis the re-
sponsibilityof theparent, privateschools may
offer benefits that somepublicschools arenot
able to provide, such as religious education,
alternative schedules, specialized instruction
andbefore- or after-school care.
There are many questions parents should
ask when choosing a private school. Parents
should find out about teacher credentialing,
school accreditation and average class size.
Privateschools arenot accountabletotheDe-
partment of Educationtoreport student prog-
ress.
Home school
This is anoptionfor parents whochooseto
take on the responsibility of educating their
child. Often, costs aretheresponsibilityof the
parent; however, therearemanyresourcesavail-
ablefor families interestedinhomeschooling,
includingsupport groups or “virtual”schools
toprovide support andcurriculum.
Some local school districts and charter
schools have a home study component. This
allows students to do their work primarily in
their home under their parent’s supervision.
There is typically a weekly check-in with a
teacher. Curriculum and books are provided
by the school.
I spend the latter part of every summer as-
sisting parents whoare looking for education
options for their students. However, at that
point, the options are limited. Please begin
planningforthenext school yearnow, andcall
theNBVCschool liaisonofficerwithanyques-
tions.

How many times in life do we get a new
start? Well, you might say once a year
when the new year comes around. For all
the procrastinators reading this article,
this is your jumpstart to something new
— and the perfect time for a fresh start.
Often we want to make a new start by
attending school, getting our finances in
order, getting off on a better foot in mar-
riage, getting the house ship-shape, orga-
nizing the kid’s routine or simply having
a new attitude.
Looking at the task ahead can be daunt-
ing, but there are really only two keys to
accomplishing anything new.
First, we need to actually start.
Second, we should divide the task we
are facing into manageable parts. If we
look at the whole task, it’s easy to get
overwhelmed, but focusing on increments
of the task allows us to accomplish as we
go, to gauge our accomplishment and to
celebrate the progress we’re making along
the way.
Martin Luther King Jr. offered wisdom
in his advice, “Faith is taking the first step,
even when you don’t see the whole stair-
case.”
If you have always wanted to get your
degree, but have struggled with the
thought of juggling work, kids and ev-
erything else that pulls in multiple direc-
tions, enrolling may be the only thing
standing in the way of accomplishing a
dream. Starting an educational path be-
gins with one class. An online class, an
evening class or a short-term certificate
program can be your new beginning and
the step to achieving your long-term
goals.
If saving money is the barrier that keeps
you from owning a car, a house or paying
down your bills and being free from debt,
it all starts with one dollar in an account
that cannot be easily accessed. A good
motto is: “Leave it alone and it will
grow.”
Maybe your nemesis is keeping up with
the house, and you wonder, “How am I
ever going to get this place clean?” Start
with the worst room, the one you detest
cleaning, and then clean one room a day.
On day two, you will be inspired when
you realize you have tackled and con-
quered the most difficult part. Managing
the rest will become easier, one day at
time.
Starting new in a marriage is perhaps
the hardest newbeginning, especially with
a history of unraveled and frayed ends.
Begin with a prayer asking for help and
guidance to give a genuine, encouraging
word or to do a kind deed once a day.
There is a passage that says, “Do not
despise these small beginnings, for the
Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
(Zechariah 4:10)
Small beginnings can build a lifetime
of happiness.
Be encouraged today as you start your
new year, remembering that God is the
expert when it comes to “making all things
new” (Revelation 21:5). He will help you
begin again, and He will be with you ev-
ery step of the way. Take the First Step,
and may God’s presence be the strength
and sure foundation of your life.
January is the perfect time for ‘making all things new’

The need for the Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society (NMCRS) was recog-
nized long before the association was
organized. At the turn of the last cen-
tury, there were no medical benefits
for service families, no retirement an-
nuities or survivors’ benefits for fami-
lies of deceased personnel. Sailors and
Marines would “pass the hat” to col-
lect funds to help their shipmates’ wid-
ows and orphans.
In 1904, several naval officers, wives
of naval officers and civilian friends
saw the need for more formal and or-
ganized assistance. The Society was
incorporated on Jan. 23 of that year.
Initial funding came from the proceeds
of the 1903 Army-Navy Football Game
held at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
In its first year, the Society gave $9,500
to widows and families of enlisted
men.
As NMCRS reaches its 110th year,
the scope of assistance has spread to
52 bases and numerous satellite of-
fices in remote areas and aboard nu-
merous Navy vessels worldwide. In
2012 alone, more than $65 million in
program assistance was provided to the
Sailors and Marines serving our coun-
try. Stop by the NMCRS office in Bldg.
1169 at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, Thursday, Jan. 23, to
mark the occasion. Coffee and cup-
cakes will be served from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m.
• The NMCRS office will be closed
Monday, Jan. 20, for the Martin Lu-
ther King Jr. holiday. Regular hours
are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through
Friday. The office is in the NBVCPort
Hueneme Welcome Center, 2600 Dod-
son St., Suite 1. Information: 982-
4409.
• The NMCRS Thrift Shop will also
be closed Monday, Jan. 20. Regular
hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays
and Wednesdays. The shop is located
in Bldg. 829, at the corner of Harris
Street and 15th Avenue, NBVC Port
Hueneme.

Because of his honesty, George Wash-
ington, wearing a white wig, made a visit
to the Camarillo Youth Center Tuesday,
Dec. 10.
Because she donated money to flood
victims and gave her prom dress to char-
ity, Taylor Swift showed up too.
Twice.
The event was a “wax museum” tied in
to the “Character Counts!”lessons taught
in the after-school programs at the youth
center, located in the Catalina Heights
military housing complex in Camarillo.
The programstresses “six pillars of char-
acter”—trustworthiness, respect, respon-
sibility, fairness, caring and citizenship
—and youngsters were asked to dress up
as a famous person and say a few words
about howthat person has exhibited those
traits.
About two dozen children took part.
As their parents watched, the children
stood behind a paper curtain, read what
they had researched about their heroes,
then came out and strutted down a paper
catwalk through the audience.
“The kids took a lot of time preparing
this,” said Trevor Wallace, a teen coun-
selor who coached the children before they
went on stage. “They’ve been working on
this two days a week for about two
months.”
He enjoyed watching it all come togeth-
er.
“Some of them got stage fright; some
of them got up there and blew it out of
the water,” he said. “These kids have lots
of talent and lots of potential.”
Michael Jordan was there. So was Katy
Perry, LeBron James, first lady Michelle
Obama and Harry Houdini.
There were three Abe Lincolns, and R.J.
Asedo came as the U.S. Air Force; his
mom, Terri, serves in that branch of the
military.
Tiny Mara Vankirk scaled things back
but still picked someone close to home:
her mother.
“Hi, I’m Mara’s mom,” she whispered
into the microphone. “My mom tells the
truth. She makes me honest. She loves me,
and that’s why she’s trustworthy.”
Sitting in the audience, Mom—Equip-
ment Operator 1st Class Maria Vankirk
of Naval Construction Group 1 — was
stunned.
“I thought she was going to be Jane
Goodall,” Vankirk said. “That was
sweet.”

DILI, Timor-Leste —Seabees assigned
to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3’s Construction Civic Action
Detail (CCAD) in Timor-Leste teamed
up with engineers from the Timor-Leste
Defense Force (F-FDTL) last month to
prevent the Cameia Rai Hun Primary
School’s outside restroom facility from
tumbling down a 10-foot drop.
Due to years of severe rain and tropi-
cal storms, erosion caused the ground
around the school’s only restroom facil-
ity to reach a critical point of impending
collapse.
Using Gabion baskets —four-foot high
rectangular metal-framed cages filled
with hand-stacked rocks staggered three
tiers down the eroded hillside — the team
worked from Nov. 21 through Dec. 5 and
was able to hold the reaming earth in
place.
“The upcoming rainy season definite-
ly looked as though it would have brought
the entire thing down,” said Navy Seabee
Builder 3rd Class Morgan Rego, the
project’s crew leader.
Gabion baskets can conform to ground
movement, dissipate energy from flowing
water and drain freely. As different types
of vegetation and silt fill the interstitial
voids, the structure becomes stronger,
more reinforced and more effective. Al-
though not a permanent fix, some Ga-
bion baskets can last up to 60 years, pro-
viding a great deal more security to the
poor, remote Cameia community and the
school’s 400 students.
“The people here are very happy to
have better protection from the heavy
water,” said F-FDTL 2nd Lt. Paulino
Correia Da Costa.
The school sits in a small inlet that
catches most of the rain wash from the
nearby mountain. Its location is in the
middle of a high traffic area used by hun-
dreds of local families and children as
they walk barefoot to the nearby market-
place. Had the restroom fallen, it would
have landed directly in the middle of this
route, tearing out the existing plumbing
and septic system. The resulting damage
would have forced the community to re-
locate the entire school, since the erosion
had eliminated any room to rebuild. With
no money, the community would have
had no options and no safe, functional
schoolhouse where their children could
receive an education.
“The locals cared about this school and
helped by giving us free materials for us
to fill the baskets,” said Equipment Op-
erator 2nd Class Dominic Defelice.
“Helping them ensure a safe future for
their children gave me an awesome feel-
ing.”

Timor-Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL) to hand-
stack rocks into Gabion baskets built around
the eroding ground beneath the Cameia Rai
Hun Primary School’s bathroom facility. The
wire cages will help prevent the building
from collapsing down a 10-foot drop.
EO2 Dominic Defelice shovels out dirt from
the eroding ground beneath the school
restroom facility to make room for Gabion
baskets.

NMCB 3
OKINAWA, Japan — The combative
Seabee spirit rears itself during times of
crisis or need, and between those times,
there’s only one way to keep the warrior
instincts sharp and ready for the fight:
healthy competition.
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 split into squads Friday, Jan. 3,
to square off in a military skills competi-
tion, testing each team’s ability to conduct
a convoy, patrol, lay out a forward operat-
ing base, provide medical care while taking
fire andcorrectly reassemble different weap-
ons systems.
Each squad was graded on its ability to
not only perform each task as a team, but
also its motivation level and attitude.
“Overall, we wanted to challenge each
person on their ability to operate the ma-
terials and equipment in our table of al-
lowances — all the things we deploy with
to do our job,” said Engineering Aide 1st
Class Willie Blanding, NMCB3’s training
supervisor. “Those tools are great in a
trainedperson’s hand, but the right attitude
has to go along with it. With the right mo-
tivation and energy, troops become war-
riors.”
During the week prior, the squads con-
ductedround-robintraining oneachstation
of the competition to help refresh some of
the seasoned Seabees and provide the first
taste of training to those who just checked
aboard.
According to Builder 2nd Class Bo Wat-
kins, squad leader for the winning team,
the secret to his team’s success was sim-
ple.
“We just had fun!”said Watkins. “These
skills can be really essential depending on
where you are sent, so we just had a great
time with it and are surprised to have
won.”
NMCB3 is deployed to Okinawa, Atsu-
gi and Yokosuka, Japan; Chinhae, Repub-
lic of Korea; Timor-Leste; Tonga; Cambo-
dia; the Republic of the Philippines and,
closer to home, China Lake and San Cle-
mente Island.
Each detail operates independently and
is capable of providing disaster preparation
and recovery support, humanitarian assis-
tance andcombat operations support while
the U.S. rebalances forces in the Pacific.

competition capped off a weeklong block of military instruction designed to ensure NMCB
3 remains at its highest readiness levels. NMCB 3’s main body is deployed to Okinawa.

Combine 40 tons of snow with 70-de-
gree temperatures and what do you get?
More than 1,100 people.
That’s how many showed up to Winter
Wonderland, the annual festival at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme that features a snow area for kids 5
and younger, another snowarea for bigger
and more energetic types, games, crafts,
Santa and — new this year — a taekwon-
do demonstration and a flash mob danc-
ing to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For
Christmas Is You.”
From2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, kids
and adults filled the grassy area next to
the Child Development Center complex.
They roasted marshmallows and sipped
hot cocoa. They worked together on jew-
elry boxes and other wooden kits pro-
vided by Home Depot. They decorated
cookies and watched what happens when
you mix baking soda with vinegar.
But mostly they played in snow—some
for the first time.
“We’re from Miami,” said Megan Ra-
mey who, at 27, was experiencing snow
for the first time in her life, together with
her 3-year-old daughter, Jilliana. They’re
planning to get used to it: Megan’s hus-
band, Aviation Structural Mechanic 2nd
Class Kevin Ramey of Carrier Airborne
Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 116, is
heading to Virginia, family in tow.
Allison Vajgrt, 2, was making a second
visit to Winter Wonderland, but her mom,
Sara, figured she didn’t remember it.
“She ate a lot of it this time,”said Sara,
whose husband, Construction Mechanic
2nd Class Matthew Vajgrt is with Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion 3.
Home Depot brought 300 wooden kits
families could work on together. Tables
were filled with moms, dads and young-
sters hammering nails and painting. In
addition to a jewelry box, they could make
a 2014 calendar, a tic-tac-toe game or a
ring toss.
“Seeing the smiles on these kids’ faces
is unbelievable,” said Adrian Ruiz, a
plumbing associate and Kids Clinic cap-
tain at the Camarillo store.
About 4 p.m., Tony Nares had a dozen
students in the taekwondo class he teach-
es on base give a demonstration, and
shortly after that, just as the sun was start-
ing to set, teenagers took over the basket-
ball court and began dancing to Mariah
Carey.
From the stage, blowers were activated
— and on a balmy evening, with palm
trees and crashing waves not too far away,
snow began to fall.
Winter Wonderland brings
tons of snow, holiday joy

DILI, Timor-Leste —Seabees assigned
to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3’s Construction Civic Action
Detail (CCAD) in Timor-Leste helped
ring in the holiday season for 1,200 Ti-
morese children by volunteering at a day-
long play and gift exchange sponsored by
the East Timor Rotary District Confer-
ence.
Seabees helped the organization set up
the site, play sports, hand out gifts, prepare
food and read during the annual event
Dec. 2 that, according lead coordinator
Daryl Mills, is the only one of its kind in
Timor-Leste.
“We’ve been doing this for 10 years
now,” Mills said. “Seabees have been par-
ticipating every year since they arrived to
Timor, about five years now. They are a
lot of help.”
Although open to everyone and free of
cost, families benefiting from the free
event are typically orphaned or from
families in need.
Maria Jose, a mother of two who has
attended the seasonal exchange for the
past four years, said the Seabees helped
rally the holiday spirit for her home.
“They brought the holiday atmosphere
to my kids,” she said. “It makes me very
happy to see my kids so excited and to get
presents. Hopefully, they continue this
every year.”
According the NMCB 3’s Timor-Leste
CCAD assistant officer in charge, Chief
Utilitiesman Miguel Fernandez, volun-
teering is an excellent way to show the
community that the Seabees care for their
families and future.
“I am amazed to see the blessing the
Rotary Club is doing here in Timor,” he
said. “They bring joy every year to thou-
sands of children. It’s a true testimony to
their never-ending goal to improve lives.
I’m glad we could be a part of it.”

Ten-thousand cookies baked by Sailors,
spouses, retirees and others who wanted
to say thank you during the holidays were
distributed Wednesday, Dec. 11, during
the annual Treats for Troops event put on
by the Fleet & Family Support Center
(FFSC) at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC).
Several boxes of cookies were loaded
into cars and taken to the barracks and
galleys at NBVC Port Hueneme and
NBVC Point Mugu. Thirteen more were
shipped off to Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 3, which is deployed to several
locations in the Pacific.
Also distributed were handmade holiday
cards made by youngsters at E.O. Green
Junior High School in Oxnard. That effort
was coordinated by students in the school’s
Military Kids Club.
At NBVC Port Hueneme, project coor-
dinator Brittany Barton carried a large
box of cookies through the barracks
shortly before 6 p.m., urging Sailors pass-
ing by to grab a bag or two.
“We hope this is one small way we can
showour single and deployed Sailors that
they are important to us,”Barton said. “A
bag of home-baked cookies isn’t a huge
thing, but it brings a little bit of joy, and
that can mean a lot this time of year.”
It took just a few seconds after handing
out the cookies that Barton heard “Deli-
cious!” and a heartfelt “Thank you!”
“I think you all are awesome,”said Steel-
worker Constructionman Cheyenne
Hueston of NMCB 4.

NOSC Ventura County
About 100 first class petty officers and
65 chief petty officers from39 local Reserve
units in the Southwest region donated hun-
dreds of toys to the Toys for Tots program
Dec. 7 at Naval Base Ventura County.
The Navy chiefs and petty officers vol-
unteered together as part of the Chief
Petty Officer Association and CPO 365, a
year-roundleadershiptraining environment
for first class petty officers seeking to take
the mantle of chief.
“It grooms us and takes petty officers
first class to the next level,” explained In-
formation Systems Technician 1st Class
Detrick Richardson, one of the petty of-
ficers who came out to help.
Toys for Tots is a Marine Corps program
that collects new, unwrapped toys during
October, November and December each
year. The toys are distributed as Christmas
gifts to needy children in the community
where the campaign is conducted.
“The Toys for Tots programallows chil-
dren in less fortunate families to enjoy toys
that they may have never received,” said
Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class
(AW) Christina Tan, who organized the
drive. “I grew up in a low-income family,
and it was programs like Toys for Tots and
selfless donors that enabled us to enjoy new
toys and cheer during the holiday season.
“I hope all the children feel that they are
loved, thought about and cared for, even
by people they don’t know and may never
meet,” she added.
Yeoman 1st Class Rena Eugeni had high
praise for NOSC Ventura County’s ef-
forts.
“I hope we continue doing things like
this, not just for Toys for Tots, but other
similar programs,” she said.
NOSC Ventura County assists in the
execution of Navy Reserve policy and ad-
ministration through indirect support of
mobilization and active Navy support re-
quirements. Its support function includes
39 Reserve units and approximately 1,200
Selected Reservists.

Santa came early for nearly 800
military kids at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC), and he
came in a California Air Nation-
al Guard C-130.
Operation Holiday Gift Drop,
an annual event organized by re-
tired U.S. Rep. Elton Gallegly
and hosted Dec. 22 this year by
Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion (NMCB) 4’s Family Read-
iness Group, is one way the com-
munity says “Thank you” to
military members and their fam-
ilies in Ventura County.
“We do this every year for the
kids,” Gallegly said. “It’s just so
important.”
Santa’s C-130, taxied in by
some “elves”from the California
Air National Guard’s 146th Air-
lift Wing, was anxiously awaited
by hundreds of families, who
braved the cold morning and the
stiff breeze of the C-130’s propel-
lers to get a first glimpse of the
jolly old elf, played by local law-
yer Roger Clark.
Once Santa was in place, vol-
unteers began allowing families
inside Hangar 34 at NBVC Point
Mugu, allowing hundreds of
wide-eyed children their first
glimpse of the hundreds of gift
bags and 375 children’s bikes
Gallegly’s family and community
organizers had gathered for the
event.
First in line was the Lykins
family, thanks to mom Janelle’s
5 a.m. arrival.
“We’ve been here in previous
years, and the line was atrocious,”
explained Janelle, wife of Chief
Equipment Operator Mark
Lykins of Naval Construction
Training Center China Lake. “So
this year, I came early.”
Matthew Lykins, 10, and his
sister Ashlyn, 12, were first to get
their bags and raffle tickets for
one of the available bikes.
“I got a bike last year,” Mat-
thew said, “but I gave it to some-
one who didn’t have any pres-
ents.”
Sixty volunteers from across
NBVC helped Gallegly’s volun-
teers organize and manage the
event. NBVC Command Master
Chief Percy Trent helped coordi-
nate the volunteers with NMCB
4.
“This event displays the sup-
port that we receive from the ci-
vilian community,” Trent said.
“They truly appreciate the sacri-
fices we make as we stand the
watch for our country.”
For the non-military volun-
teers, it’s about giving back to the
community. Several Walgreens
managers from throughout the
county were on hand to help dis-
tribute the gift bags, which were
largely supplied from their store
shelves.
“It’s a great way to get out of
our stores and support the com-
munity,” said Raffy Basmajian,
who manages a Walgreens in
Moorpark. “I’ve been helping
Elton for four years now, and ev-
ery year our involvement grows.”
But in the end, it’s really all
about the kids.
“It’s worth all the time,” said
Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC’s
commanding officer, “when you
walk by a child who has just
opened his gift bag and see the
look on his face. Their joy is con-
tagious.”

A beautifully simple Berry Marscapone
CreamTart beat out several holiday-themed
creations and captured first place in the
winter bakeoff put on by the commissary
at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hue-
neme.
Personnel Specialist 1st Class Olivia San-
tos of the Naval Branch Health Clinic said
she chose the tart recipe her friends and
neighbors like for the Dec. 18 contest, even
though it didn’t have a holiday theme.
Her gamble paid off when she was de-
clared the winner over 11 other entries that
ranged from a yule log to a peach cobbler
to a pumpkin bread house with a cream-
cheese frosting roof and a sidewalk made
of M&Ms.
Four Seabees from Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 5 served as
judges: Chief Engineering Aide Craig
Miller, Chief Construction Mechanic Si-
mon Fresquez, Chief Builder Tony Flores
and Builder 1st Class Andrew Hernan-
dez.
Chief Steelworker Michael Boniface
tasted as well.
“I’m assisting,” he explained.
Miller said the job wasn’t easy, admitting
to a sugar overload when he still had three
more items to taste.
The runners-up in the competition
were:
• Second place: Deanna Bruchey for a
Christmas Key Lime Pie witha gingerbread
crust. It incorporateda Toys for Tots theme
that featured all-edible decorations.
Bruchey’s spouse is Steelworker 1st Class
WilliamBruchey with Naval Construction
Group 1.
• Third place: Builder 3rd Class Crystal
Renfroe and Builder 3rd Class Nabil Ro-
driguez, bothwithNMCB5, for the pump-
kin bread house. Rodriguez baked the
bread using a family recipe; Renfroe did
the decorating.
• Fourth place: Dominique and Aviation
Electronics Technician 1st Class Robert
Washington of Fleet Readiness Center
Southwest, Detachment Point Mugu, for
a Southern Texas Peach Cobbler.
• Fifth place: Michelle and Construction
Mechanic 2nd Class Phillip Dentremont
of NMCB 5 for chocolate cupcakes with
a peppermint Hershey Kiss in the middle
and buttercream frosting. “I did the taste
test and supervised,” Phillip Dentremont
said. “She did all the cooking and slapped
my hand.”
• Sixth place: Susana Garcia for her
Tarta de San Marcos, a traditional Spanish
rumcake. Garcia, a native of Spain, is mar-
ried to Builder 2nd Class David Madmon
of Underwater Construction Team 2.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Have you thought about heating up
your love with some couples counsel-
ing?
Or do you ask, “Why would I volun-
tarily come to an appointment to let
my significant other roast me over the
fire?”
Couples counseling actually has
nothing to do with torture — and more
often than not the flame is one of
warmth and comfort. It can ignite
healthier and happier relationships.
The professional counselors at Naval
Base Ventura County’s Fleet & Fam-
ily Support Center (FFSC) have helped
thousands of military couples across
all rates and ranks grow stronger with
our counseling services, whether it’s
adult and child counseling for indi-
viduals or for the entire family for
service members and dependents.
The Navy has determined that inter-
personal challenges at home can im-
pact mission readiness, and that’s why
it offers free, confidential counseling
through the FFSC.
According to the recent article,
“Marital Counseling Strengthens Fam-
ilies,” put out by the Department of
Defense, deployments can be stressful,
but so can the time before and after
deployment.
“During these times, one or both
spouses may experience feelings of
sadness, irritability or other emotion-
al distress,” the article states. “Also,
some may try to handle their distress
by withdrawing, picking fights or
avoiding difficult discussions.
“These feelings and behaviors are
common for military families through-
out the deployment cycle, so don’t put
off seeking counseling support if you
feel you need it. Addressing concerns
before they escalate can help alleviate
the pressures of deployment and im-
prove your relationship with your
spouse.”
Our master’s degree-level and li-
censed clinicians are honored to serve
you in creating and sustaining healthy
relationships for your well-being and
for mission readiness.
To schedule an appointment, call 1-
866-923-6478.

NOSC Ventura County
Beginning Dec. 2, Navy
Operational Support Cen-
ter (NOSC) Ventura Coun-
ty, located on Naval Base
Ventura County, Port Hue-
neme, hosted an intensive
week of mobilization prep-
arations for Navy Cargo
Handling Battalion
(NCHB) 14.
Eighty-five Sailors from
NOSCs Ventura County,
Phoenix, Sacramento, Al-
ameda, Tucson, Salt Lake
City and San Jose com-
pleted a multitude of de-
ployment requirements —
including update of
personal, career and medi-
cal records — to ensure
they were fully ready for
mobilization.
When a Sailor receives
mobilization orders, atten-
tion to detail is critical, as
the orders contain a variety
of items that must be com-
pleted prior to mobiliza-
tion. They include the Pre-
Deployment Health
Assessment (DD2795), Ex-
peditionary Screening
Checklists (ESC)
(NAVPERS 1300/22) (ad-
ministrative and medical/
dental) (NAVMED1300/4),
Isolated Personnel Report
(ISOPREP) requirements,
Navy Knowledge Online
Elearning, and information
concerning their Navy Mo-
bilization and Processing
Site (NMPS).
To meet these require-
ments, NOSC Ventura
County organized a pre-
mobilization workshop,
coordinated by Chief Hos-
pital Corpsman (FMF)
Danielle Casavant of
NOSC Ventura County.
Personnel Specialist 2nd
Class (EXW/SW) Mark
Palafox said the effort was
successful.
“This week, Sailors com-
pleted comprehensive Ex-
peditionary Screening
Checklists, 90 percent of
their online training cours-
es, verified their security
clearances, as well as many
other Deployment Readi-
ness Training require-
ments,”Palafox said. “This
was a challenging week, but
all the hard work paid off.
I amso glad to have worked
with our NCHB 14 Sailors
here at NOSC Ventura
County and help them pre-
pare for their upcoming
mobilization.”
Next, each Sailor will
process through NMPS
Norfolk, Va., the final ver-
ification that all orders and
expeditionary requirements
are completed before the
Sailor moves into the train-
ing phase of mobilization.
“We work hard with Sail-
ors to complete all expedi-
tionary deployment re-
quirements early because it
prevents mobilization fall-
outs and greatly reduces
processing time through
NMPS,”said Capt. Ronald
Oswald, commanding of-
ficer of NOSC Ventura
County.
At the end of the week,
Rear Adm. Sandra Adams,
deputy commander of
Navy Expeditionary Com-
bat Command, recognized
14 Sailors fromNOSCVen-
tura County, CNIC Mob
Team and NCHB 14 who
played a key role in com-
pleting an enormous
amount of work for this
mobilization by proclaim-
ing during the end-of-the-
week Captain’s Call, “This
week has been a tremen-
dous success thanks to your
efforts. Thank you for your
hard work!”

ableskills that will makethem
an asset on future projects.
Oneadvantageof usingthe
Seabee Tech Trainer as a
teaching tool is that it allows
for one-on-one instruction
and mentorship that would
otherwise not be found in a
classroom.
“I think this a better way
to teach the troops rather
than death by PowerPoint in
aclassroom,”Gomez said. “I
can take the time to work
one-on-one with a few Sea-
bees and go over anything
theyarehavingdifficultywith
in their job field as well as
teachthemtricks of the trade
I have picked up over the
years.”
Inadditiontolearningcon-
structionskills onthe Seabee
Tech Trainer, several of the
Seabees were able to gain
valuable leadershipandproj-
ect management experience.
Junior Seabees working on
the Tech Trainer were given
the task of briefing the
NMCB 4 operations officer,
Lt. Cmdr. Michael Guzzi, on
the progress of the project
whenhe visitedthe worksite.
In doing so, the Junior Sea-
bees were able to build their
public speaking skills as well
as their confidence.
The Seabees of NMCB 4
will continue to use the Sea-
beeTechTrainertogrowboth
skills andexperience as aunit
in order to execute their mis-
sion and remain ready to
deploy at a moment’s no-
tice.
itself is fashioned after an Italian
street-painting festival, Color Fest is
the FFSC’s way of recognizing January
as Clinical Counseling Month.
“There is something wonderful about
being able to express yourself in the
free form of art,” explained one of the
organizers, Earlene deMoulpied, a
clinical counselor at the FFSC. “There
is a satisfaction and pride in accom-
plishing something that reflects an
idea, a feeling, a connection. It’s such
a positive experience — a healing ex-
perience.”
She credits Pat White, the clinical
counseling supervisor at the FFSC, for
coming up with the idea. Now de-
Moulpied and clinical counselor Shar-
ri Tucker are turning that idea into a
reality.
White and Tucker are both artists;
deMoulpied has experience in art ther-
apy with adults and children.
Color Fest is intended to be a cele-
bration of unity — among commands,
among families, among friends, the
counselors explained.
The sidewalk squares in front of the
Welcome Center vary in size; larger
groups can get larger squares, but
they’re urged to reserve those areas in
advance by calling 982-5037. By late
last week, 11 squares had already been
reserved.
The FFSC is providing the chalk in
a wide range of colors.
The event will also feature a “game
walk.” It’s like a cakewalk, the coun-
selors explained, but instead of taking
home a cake, winners will take home a
board game.
There will also be music, and the teen
clubs on base will be selling food.
The counselors stressed that artistic
skills aren’t needed for this project.
“I saw one chalk drawing at I Ma-
donnari that had a three-dimensional
effect, so much so that I felt I was go-
ing to fall into it,” deMoulpied said.
“But someone could draw stick fig-
ures holding hands,” Tucker added,
“and we’d love it.”

EXWC) ConstructionEquipment Division
(CED) took the lead in restoring this piece
of Seabee history.
Little Debbie is special even for a bull-
dozer in the Seabees. While most dozers in
the pantheonof Seabee lore were green, this
one was paintedadeep, bright safety-orange
for a special mission: This piece of Civil
Engineering Support Equipment (CESE)
was tobe usedbySeabees insupport of U.S.
Naval Support Force Antarctica, TaskForce
43, commonly referred to as NSFA.
Beginning in 1955, NSFA Seabees pro-
videdlogistical support toresearchworkers
inAntarcticaduringOperationDeepFreeze.
They used Little Debbie primarily to move
skids of supplies around the expeditionary
camp developed at McMurdo Sound to
house the explorers, scientists andtheir sup-
port teams. The orange color providedsharp
contrast to the vast expanse of white snow
and blue ice for which Antarctica is fa-
mous.
Also making Little Debbie unique is that
she is a lowground pressure (LGP) variant
of the D-4, meaning she has wider tracks
to move on. These wider tracks increased
the surface area on which she traveled, dis-
persing the weight and preventing her from
falling into any cracks in the ice. These
cracks, or crevasses, are a serious danger to
operations inAntarctica, andall the bulldoz-
ers sent there were LGP variants.
Because of her relatively small size, a de-
cision was made in the mid 1990s — near
or after the decommissioningof NSFA—to
transfer Little Debbie from Antarctica to
Heritage Park. However, the years were not
kind to the dozer, and since no funding was
established for her upkeep, she deteriorat-
ed.
“It was a sadday for me tosee Little Deb-
bie go away. I cried,” Shelly Rhoades said
after seeing the bulldozer initially leave the
park.
Rhoades operatedLittle Debbie while at-
tachedtoNSFAfrom1985 to1989. She has
fondmemories of her three deployments to
Antarctica and said she’d return in a heart-
beat.
Led by Steelworker 2nd Class Thomas
Cunningham, half a dozen steelworkers
from CED came up with a plan to restore
the little bulldozer. Theyremovedthe dozer’s
belly pan, draining any remaining fluids
fromthe engine, transmissionandaxle com-
ponents. Theyremovedthe rustedhoodand
roof pieces, fabricateda newhoodandroof
and then sandblasted and repainted all the
parts orange. Finally, they replaced the
belly pan, making her ready tobe displayed
again.
“It was great tobe apart of historyrestor-
ing Little Debbie,” said Steelworker 2nd
Class Jarod Campos. “It really makes me
feel connected to the greater Seabee histo-
ry.”
Steelworker 2nd Class Matthew Rush
echoed that.
“Seeing it restored and be brought back
to like-new condition makes me proud to
be a Seabee,” he said.
On Nov. 26, instructors from the Naval
Construction Training Center (NCTC)
Crane Operator course helped return Little
Debbie back to Heritage Park. Students at-
tached to Crane Operator Class 14015 as-
sisted Equipment Operator 1st Class Ryan
Newman, class instructor, in the crane lift
to return Little Debbie back to her original
spot.
Nowback on display, she proudly shows
her newcoat of bright orange paint tofolks
who pass by the park near the Sunkist
Gate.
Cunningham summed it up best.
“It has brought a great sense of together-
ness, for me, withthe Seabees that have gone
before me,” he said. “They paved the way
for me, using this equipment, and it feels
like I’m giving back to them in an abstract
kind of way.”

brag about his award.”
Chamberlin’s personal connection is
appreciated by his students.
“BUC Chamberlin is a very hands-on
instructor,”said Builder 2nd Class Nathan
Darnell. “He has no problem showing us
how to do the job by getting into the
trenches with us. If we mess up something
he doesn’t ride us about it. He shows us
the right way to do it, demonstrates it
clearly and makes sure each student un-
derstands before he moves on.”
NCTCCommand Master Chief Martin
Laurie described what makes Chamberlin
stand out as a naval instructor.
“BUC Chamberlin’s instruction and
facilitation style, along with his military
experience, make him a well-rounded role
model for his students to emulate,” he
said.
