The Dallas Cowboys landed at
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Point Mugu Tuesday,
July 22, for their annual training
camp in Oxnard.
Before they left the base, the
players, coaches and cheerleaders
spent an hour signing autographs
for more than 500 active duty
military members and their fam-
ilies who had lined up outside
Hangar 34 waiting for a chance
to see “America’s Team.”
“This teamis very gracious and
very appreciative of the sacrifices
our Sailors and their families are
making,” said Capt. Larry
Vasquez, commanding officer of
the base. “There are very few or-
ganizations that would come to
this base and spend an hour sign-
ing autographs and chatting with
our personnel.”

NBVC Public Affairs
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) is the only Department
of Defense (DoD) installation
with approval to have manned
and unmanned aircraft operating
together in Class D airspace.
And that’s a “big deal,”said Lt.
Cmdr. Keith Morris, air opera-
tions officer for NBVC.
“Until we received our approv-
al, the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) had not allowed
mixed use in Class D airspace,”
he continued, explaining that the
military has only conducted
mixed operations in the much
more restricted Special Use Air-
space.
In Class D airspace, pilots, as-

I wanted to give everyone a quick update about
our support to the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) in caring for unaccompanied children
temporarily in Bldg. 267, Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme.
Last week, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel au-
thorized an expansion and extension of the Department
of Defense’s (DoD) support of the DHHS mission to
temporarily house and care for unaccompanied children
apprehended crossing the U.S. border.
We stand ready to support the Secretary’s decision
and are confident it will not further impact our missions
at Naval Base Ventura County.
The original agreement between DoD and DHHS
promised 3,600 DoD beds; NBVC has 575 of those
beds, located in the former Navy Mobilization Process-
ing Site (NMPS). The new agreement adds 5,000 more
beds to the requirement. Although additional locations
have not been identified, we do not foresee an increase
in our capacity to house unaccompanied children.
The Secretary also extended the 120-day agreement
through the end of January 2015. Because the NMPS
was inactivated and the facility was empty without a
near-term plan for operational use, this extension will
not impact our mission here at NBVC.
There have been several health-related articles in the
press concerning the children. At NBVC, a handful of
children — out of hundreds processed — have arrived
ill or have become ill after arrival. Due to the immuni-
zations they receive, which are on par with those ad-
ministered to school-aged children in the United States,
and their isolation from the general population, health
officials have assessed there is no undue risk to those
living and working on the installation. You are more at
risk of contracting an infectious disease riding in a full
passenger airliner than you are from these children or
their caregivers.
Do you have questions, comments or suggestions?
I want to hear them! Reach me here by emailing light-
[email protected], on Facebook at www.facebook.com/
NavalBaseVenturaCounty or on Twitter at www.twitter.
com/NBVCCalifornia. You can also go online to our
homepage at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and
use the Commanding Officer’s Suggestion Box. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Base will temporarily house unaccompanied children through January 2015w

Teams are forming nowfor the upcoming
Battle of Commands, which has a new
format and new participation rules this
year.
The event will take place Saturday, Aug.
23, from noon to 4 p.m. on Family Beach
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu. It’s in conjunction with Fam-
ily Beach Day —the two events combined
are being called “Mugulau.”
Battle of Commands was not held last
year due to funding issues. Before that, the
annual event hadtakenplace over twodays,
with the first day’s events at the Seabreeze
Aquatics Center at NBVC Port Hueneme
and the second day at Family Beach.
Another change this year is that civilians
and family members — anyone who’s at
least 18 and has base access — can be on
a team. Participation is no longer limited
to active duty military.
This year’s events are sand flags, a kayak
relay, the seven-legged race, tug-o-war and
sandcastle construction. Team members
will receive free T-shirts.
Teams of up to 18 people can register by
calling Morale, Welfare and Recreation
(MWR) representatives at NBVC Point
Mugu at 989-8093 or at NBVC Port Hue-
neme at 982-4749.
Children’s activities at Mugulau include
a sand soccer clinic, a sandcastle-building
competition for children 3 to 5 years old,
races, games and free snow cones while
supplies last.
Adults will have free access to the gear
that’s usually rented out by the Outdoor
Activities program, including kayaks and
stand-up paddleboards.
Food can be purchased at the beach, or
participants can bring their own picnic
lunch.

Family Support Center, NBVC Port
Hueneme.
Families must register by Friday,
Aug. 1, at www.operationhomefront.
net, under “Upcoming Events.”
The website states that backpacks
are available on a first-come, first-
served registration basis. It also states
that the program is for military-depen-
dent children only and identification
of all children registered will be re-
quired the day of the event.

SANTAPAULA—Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 5 Seabees
worked alongside the 672nd Army Engi-
neering Company to build a “disaster
town” for the National Disaster Search
Dog Foundation June 27 through July 8.
The nonprofit organization trains rescue
dogs and partners them with firefighters
across America.
In Santa Paula, a “search city” is being
built to replicate a natural disaster area
where dogs can be trained on how to find
victims after a disaster.
Debra Tosch, whois withthe foundation,
said the area is designed to look as if it had
been struck by a major earthquake or tor-
nado.
The foundation teamed up with the
ArmyandSeabees throughthe Department
of Defense’s Innovative Readiness Training
program, a civil-military program to im-
prove military readiness while simultane-
ously providing quality services to com-
munities throughout America.
“This was great work for Seabees,” said
Lt. j.g. Daniel Pulliam, the officer-in-charge
of the Seabees. “It was an opportunity for
us tobring the Seabee culture toa construc-
tion project that we worked with the Army
on.”
The project was to build three structures
— two homes and a motel — with room
for scent tubing. The scent tubing is used
to train and test the dogs’ ability to find
specific scents throughout the buildings,
including underneath and in the rafters.
“This was a fulfilling project, knowing
that what we did will help train the dogs to
save lives,” Pulliam said.
Toschsaidthe military’s workwas invalu-
able.
“It would have been difficult to complete
the [project] if it wasn’t for the Seabees’ and
Army’s help,” she said.

A new school year equals a fresh start.
By the time summer winds down, most
students are eager to return to a regular
routine and their friends.
Parents, this is a fresh start for you as
well. If you’ve been involved in your child’s
school, great! Please keep it up! If you
haven’t, this is the perfect time to start.
Studies on parent involvement indicate
that the most accurate predictor of a child’s
achievement inschool is the extent towhich
the child’s family is able to:
• Create an environment that encour-
ages learning.
• Communicate high, yet reasonable, ex-
pectations for their children’s achievement
and future careers.
• Become involved in their children’s
education at school and within the com-
munity.
Using these three predictors, the ideas
below can help parents provide the family
environment that will support success.
Environment that encourages learning
Regardless of the grade level of a school-
age student, homework can be an everyday
expectation. If the teacher did not assign
homework or if the student finishes the
homework quickly, parents should expect
the student to have plenty of books on
hand to practice reading. Parents should
set aside a time and place to ensure that
homework is completed without distrac-
tions. The best way to determine an ap-
propriate amount of time is to multiply
their grade level by 10 minutes: first grade
equals 10 minutes; 12th grade equals two
hours. Depending on the student and
teacher, this standard can vary.
Students use the Internet for schoolwork,
even at very young ages. It is important for
parents to understand how they and their
student can use it best.
An online resource called Parents’ Guide
to the Internet, www.ed.gov/pubs/parents/
internet, is intended to help parents — re-
gardless of their level of technological
know-how — effectively employ online
resources in their children’s education. The
guide provides parents withanintroduction
to the Internet, instructions on how to
navigate it, a glossary of common Internet
terminology and suggestions on how par-
ents can allowtheir children to tap into the
wonders of the Internet while safeguarding
them from its potential hazards.
Expectations for achievement
Children will often fulfill the expectation
set for them. If a parent expects their stu-
dent to get all “B’s”on a report card, what
is the student’s motivation to get all “A’s”?
The goal was met at “B’s.” Until students
reach about 11th grade, the long-termrea-
sons for doing well in school have not sunk
in. Therefore, their only motivation to
achieve is the parental expectation. How-
ever, it is important to knowyour children
and be fully aware of their skills and abili-
ties. Parents’ expectations shouldbe reason-
able. An online resource, The Legacy Proj-
ect, www.legacyproject.org., can help.
Become involved
Two-way communication between the
parent and teacher, school administration
and other parents is important. When stu-
dents know their education is important
enough for mom or dad to take the time
to visit the school to volunteer, spend eve-
nings attending school meetings or make
a phone call or send an email to check on
a student’s progress, education becomes a
priority for the student as well.
There are numerous ways to be involved.
Start by asking your child’s teacher. You
canalsotry this online resource about some
successful parent involvement programs:
Family Involvement in Children’s Educa-
tion: Successful Local Approaches, www.
ed.gov/pubs/FamInvolve.
This site contains in-depth profiles of 10
parent involvement programs in the coun-
try. These programs were selected to high-
light differing approaches to building suc-
cessful school-family partnerships.

This past July, our sports world cele-
brated the 75th anniversary of Lou Geh-
rig’s famous farewell speech.
Prior to his leaving baseball, Gehrig was
a key player in one of the world’s greatest
sport dynasties, the New York Yankees.
In our modern era, where we are no longer
shocked by famous athletes involved in
scandals of sorts, Mr. Lou Gehrig remains
a person whom you could say is an hon-
est-to-goodness sports role model.
In the prime of his career, he was one
of the most feared baseball players of his
day. Sadly, while still playing, he was af-
flicted with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis), now known as Lou Gehrig’s
disease. This incurable fatal neuromuscu-
lar disease is characterized by progressive
muscle weakness, resulting in paralysis.
Eventually, the person who is affected by
this disease loses control of voluntary
muscles, deteriorates and eventually
dies.
As I was watching and listening to Lou
Gehrig’s speech again from old newsreels
on ESPN, I was struck and amazed by
how his farewell speech was filled with
gratitude and love for his relationships
with friends and loved ones, his fans and
his years playing baseball. I really did not
sense any sort of regret or anger about
how his life was playing out.
Lou begins his speech with one of the
most iconic opening lines ever:
“Fans, for the past two weeks you have
been reading about the bad break I got.
Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest
man on the face of this earth.”
What an amazing attitude for someone
who has been struck down with ALS.
One of the best pieces of advice that has
gotten me through many tough times and
trials is this: We will not always know in
advance all the tough situations that hap-
pen to all of us. But what really matters
is how we choose to respond to our given
crisis or setback.
Equally important is that how we re-
spond will affect our peace and frame of
mind.
Another important piece of the picture
is gratitude. We always have a choice to
be grateful for what we have or what we
have experienced, no matter what. A wise
counselor once described the power of
gratitude this way:
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and
more. It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can
turn a meal into a feast, a house into a
home, a stranger into a friend.”
I truly thank God that we live in the
greatest nation in the world, and that I
have had the privilege and honor of serv-
ing alongside the finest military personnel
— second to none.
I think sometimes we just need to step
back a bit to gain a broader perspective
on life. Our choice to be grateful is a pow-
erful first step toward a more fulfilling
life.
May God bless us all richly!

Pulling on her years of expe-
rience singing with churches in
the Midwest, Construction
Electrician Constructionman
Shaquile Read of Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 is organizing this
year’s Gospel Explosion at the
Seabee Chapel, Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
The four-hour festival of
gospel music and prayer is set
for Saturday, Aug. 9, at 11
a.m.
Read is working with fellow
Seabee and last year’s orga-
nizer, Builder 2nd Class Court-
ney Russ of NMCB 3, both in
organizing the event and sing-
ing gospel music.
Together with Builder 3rd
Class Eric Campbell of NBVC
and other singers, Read and
Russ will perform, as will Sea-
bee Chapel choirs and gospel
groups from the local area.
“This is definitely exciting,”
Read said. “I’m praying that
everything goes according to
plan. Even if it’s just one per-
son, I’mhoping God can touch
someone through this.”
“Praise Unrestrained — No
Boundaries” is the theme of
this year’s Gospel Explosion,
the second one held on base.
Last year’s event attracted
about 200 people.
“We’re praying there will be
more,” Read said.
Read has been in the Navy
for a year. She’s been singing
since she was 7, first in her
church in Decatur, Ill., then in
Ohio, then Chicago, where her
father’s congregation numbers
120.
She began singing profes-
sionally when she was 16, hav-
ing earned a spot with Joshua’s
Troop. She traveled to several
states and performed on the
Bobby Jones Gospel, which airs
on Black Entertainment Televi-
sion (BET).
She has high hopes for this
year’s Gospel Explosion.
“We’re hoping people will let
go and enjoy the fun,” Read
said. “This isn’t really about
religion. It’s about understand-
ing the different ways of wor-
shipping God.”

More than 80 children took part in this
year’s VacationBible School (VBS), learning
the storyof Moses andgeneral Bible themes
in an Old West setting.
VBS was held at the Seabee Chapel at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme July 14-18. Friday’s session in-
cluded a children’s performance, followed
by a barbecue.
“It was agreat blessingtosee the increased
turnout of families this year for the children’s
presentation and chuckwagon barbecue,”
saidLt. LesaWelliver, staff chaplain. “Many
of our children have been with us the past
three years, and what a joy it is to watch
them grow in relationship to faith, family
and the friends they have bonded with each
summer.”
More than 50 volunteers helped with the
event, including great-grandfather Jerry
Weaver. Achapel congregant, he helpedstaff
the child care center.
Why did he volunteer?
“Why not?” he replied. “There was a
need.”
VBSorganizer BethanyDodds, thespouse
of BU2 ThadDodds of Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion 3 and the coordinator
of last year’s event, saidthe youngsters stud-
ied the life of Moses, from his birth to the
delivery of the Ten Commandments.
The OldWest theme was everywhere, from
snacks decoratedtolooklike wagonwheels
to cowboy hats and bandanas.
There were even25 “wantedposters”fea-
turingimages of chapel staff andvolunteers.
They were created by volunteer Katy Rain-
ey, spouse of Builder 2nd Class Paul Rain-

Everything on a pre-deployment
checklist is important. Why is the Navy-
Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)
on that checklist?
NMCRS provides the deploying mem-
ber the opportunity to authorize assis-
tance should a financial emergency arise
during the deployment. As any military
spouse will attest, such emergencies tend
to happen at the worst possible time
when the active duty member is away.
Here are some frequently asked ques-
tions about pre-authorization.
• What exactly am I authorizing?
You are authorizing an allotment to
be started for the repayment of the inter-
est-free assistance for the approved
amount. The repayment terms will be
determined by the caseworker and are
based on the financial information col-
lected in the interview. Funds will be
provided in accordance with NMCRS
policies.
• What if my family will not be in the
duty station area during my deploy-
ment?
The form we retain in our office can
be emailed to any emergency assistance
agency to process a request, including
any on Air Force and Army installations.
If there aren’t any military bases within
50 miles, the American Red Cross can
contact the NMCRS office for the au-
thorization letter.
• Why can’t I call or email an authori-
zation if something comes up?
Although some deployment locations
have full communication services, some-
times the needs are time-sensitive. With
the pre-authorization, those needs can
be addressed immediately. In the event
that the active duty member is unreach-
able, having the form on file will expedite
funding the request.
• Why does it need to be witnessed?
The form is a legally binding docu-
ment that will affect your pay. To protect
service members from being liable for
loans they did not authorize, an NMCRS
staff member, NMCRS volunteer or
command representative must witness
the form.
• Where do I get one?
Forms are available at the NMCRS
office in Bldg. 1169, Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme, or
at the homeport liaison office. They are
also available at pre-deployment
events.
For additional information, contact
the NMCRS office at NBVC Port Hue-
neme at 805-982-4409 or via email at
[email protected], or check the Web
at nmcrs.org/locations/entry/ventura-
county.

Marine Corps Relief Society Ventura.

Diana Lara presents Gabriel Iglesias, aka Fluffy, with a cake as the comedian poses with
her and her friends and family during his visit to Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port

The doors wouldn’t open until 5:45 p.m.,
but Carlotta Pope and Rachael Baranski
weren’t going to risk missing a photo with
Fluffy.
At 2:30p.m. Tuesday, July15, theyarrived
at the NeedhamTheater at Naval Base Ven-
turaCounty(NBVC) Port Hueneme tostart
waiting in line for a visit with the comedian
whose real name is Gabriel Iglesias.
By the time Force Protection arrived at
4:30 p.m. for crowd control, 30 others had
joined Pope and Baranski. And when the
doors opened, there were nearly 200 in
line.
In all, more than 500 people came to the
Needham that evening to get a photo with
the family-friendlycomedianandsee asneak
preview of his new film, “The Fluffy Mov-
ie,” 10 days before it was released to the
general public.
“It was so worth it,”Baranski said as she
found a seat in the theater after getting her
photo taken.
Baranski, the spouse of Aviation Ord-
nanceman 2nd Class Joseph Baranski with
Navy Munitions Command, Detachment
Point Mugu, had seen Iglesias perform on
her 21st birthday.
“He’s hilarious,” she said, echoing Pope,
the spouse of Construction Electrician 3rd
Class Sean Pope with Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 4.
Before the doors opened, Iglesias met with
and thanked the Morale, Welfare and Rec-
reation(MWR) personnel staffingthe sneak
preview, most of whom were already big
fans even before that happened.
“My mom’s so jealous,” said Matt Wall,
who wore a Hawaiian shirt, a Fluffy trade-
mark, to the event. “He speaks to the large,
fluffy folk. He’s a great storyteller who
speaks truth and honesty.”
Amy Nelson, whowas staffing the Need-
ham snack bar, agreed.
“He knows howto connect with people,”
she said.
Theater Manager Sean Haley said that
whenthe opportunity tohost the comedian
came upabout twoweeks earlier, he figured
it was a good idea.
“It’s anice opportunityfor base personnel
to meet him,”he said, adding that he knew
as soon as he met Iglesias that the event
would be a success. “The first thing he did
was crack a joke.”
Diana Lara knew how to get on the co-
median’s goodsideimmediately: Shebrought
a cake.
“Bless you!”Iglesias said, carefullyplacing
it on the stage behind him before posing
withLara andher friends andfamily. Lara’s
uncle is Equipment Operator 1st Class Ge-
rardo Lopez with NMCB 4.
“He loves cakes,” Lara said as she found
a seat to watch the movie.
Her timing was especially good.
The next day was Iglesias’ birthday.

“It was totally worth it,” said Rachael

waiting in line for more than three hours
to get their photograph taken with Gabriel
Iglesias and watch a sneak preview of his
new film, “The Fluffy Movie.”

Cub Scouts from Pack 3831 in Camarillo were recently treated to a tour of a C-
130 aircraft at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu, courtesy of Fleet
Logistics Support Squadron (VR) 55. The June 22 tour also included the hangar,
plus a rundown of what the squadron does and what it takes to fly the huge aircraft.
“Children saw that it’s not just a pilot,” one parent commented. “It’s a team effort.”
Added another: “Now when we see one of the Navy planes flying overhead in
Camarillo we will always remember the tour of the planes and all the service men
and women who took their time to teach us about what they do there.”

Edward Vicuna, the human re-
sources director at Naval Surface
Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Divi-
sion (NSWC PHD), was presented
with the Department of the Navy
Meritorious Civilian Service Award
at the Engineering Duty Officer
(EDO) School July 16.
Vicuna received this award for out-
standing meritorious service while
serving as an adjunct professor at the
EDO School from October 2000 to
July 2014. While assigned as the hu-
man resources site director for Naval
Base Ventura County and the human
resources director for NSWC PHD,
Vicuna volunteered to teach more
than 820 officers in the EDO Basic
Course and ensured that the students
thoroughly understood important
civilian personnel management poli-
cies and practices before they report-
ed to their qualifying tours. In addi-
tion to teaching, Vicuna helped
prepare course materials and vali-
dated test questions.
Capt. Chris Scofield, commanding
officer of the EDO School, present-
ed the award to Vicuna.
“Vicuna’s exceptional professional-
ism, personal initiative and unswerv-
ing devotion to duty reflected credit
upon him and were in keeping with
the highest traditions of the United
States Naval Service,” Scofield said.

“The Golden Hawks of VAW-112 have
set the example for the VAWcommunity,”
said Baker. “I could not be more proud
of what the squadron has accomplished
under your leadership. You have raised
the bar to a new level, and it is great to
see.”
Under Morrison’s command, VAW-112
underwent a post-deployment aircraft
systems upgrade/modification and main-
tenance period, as well as various system-
atic inspections and personnel qualifica-
tions.
Morrison’s proudest command accom-
plishment this past year, however, was the
overall advancement levels compared to
the rest of the fleet.
“A true testament to our Sailors’ hard
work, and the leadership we have in place,
are the results of the last advancement
cycle,” said Morrison. “The rest of the
fleet averaged 24 percent advancement,
whereas we achieved a staggering 57 per-
cent.”
Morrison’s last action as commanding
officer of the Golden Hawks was to spot-
promote a deserving Sailor to second class
petty officer. Information Systems Techni-
cian 2nd Class (AW) Tynan Mahan was
as surprised as he was elated to receive the
last command action that Morrison would
give to the Golden Hawks.
Morrison, a native of Chatham, Ill., will
transfer to Carrier Strike Group 12, where
he will serve as air operations officer.
Baker remarked during the ceremony
that Duffy’s steadfast leadership will be
essential as the squadron prepares for its
next deployment, slated for Fall 2015.
“You are ready, I trust you, and know
that you will be a great leader and deserv-
ing of the term ‘Skipper,’” Baker told
Duffy. “I ask that you keep the squadron
tactically focused and demand from your
teamthe level of effort required to be part
of the SHOGUN family.”
Duffy, a native of Kenilworth, Ill., be-
gan his Navy career in May 1996 after
graduating fromthe Naval Academy with
a bachelor’s degree in political science.
Duffy spoke of humility and pride
when he recalled his tenure as the Gold-
en Hawks executive officer and how it
will shape his new role as commanding
officer.
“I am truly blessed and humbled to
command this squadron,” said Duffy.
“You will never hear me declare that we
are the ‘best in history’ or somehow
‘world famous.’ Our actions will clearly
speak for themselves.”
One of those actions — the first for
Duffy as commanding officer — was also
a surprise spot-promotion. Culinary Spe-
cialist 2nd Class (AW) Ellis Russell joined
Mahan as the command’s newest second
class petty officers.
Duffy concluded with a single petition
to his Sailors and officers.
“I do not demand that we are perfect,”
said Duffy. “I do demand that we are
perfect in our level of effort.”
VAW-112 is homeported at NBVC
Point Mugu and is assigned to Carrier
Air Wing 9, which consists of 11 West
Coast aviation squadrons.

Vasquez was especially impressed when head
coach Jason Garrett stepped out from behind his
assigned table and stood in the middle of the han-
gar to talk with fans.
“That made it more informal and very welcom-
ing,” Vasquez said.
The Cowboys are training at the River Ridge
fields through Aug. 15. This is the ninth summer
they’ve done so. But the team has a much longer
history with Ventura County, having trained at
California Lutheran University from 1963 to
1989.
Regina White, whose father is from Texas, used
to go to those camps in Thousand Oaks.
“I’m a huge Cowboys fan,” she said as she
lugged around a metal mailbox emblazoned with
the Cowboys logo and dozens of signatures. “I’ve
been collecting these autographs for years.”
She said she and her husband, Master Chief
Constructionman James White of Naval Con-
struction Group 1, try to get to at least two Cow-
boys games each season.
Another big fan was Cmdr. Joel Fragale, the
executive officer of the squadron hosting the au-
tograph session, Fleet Logistics Support Squadron
(VR) 55.
As the squadron’s cavernous Hangar 34 filled
with autograph-seekers, many filed into a line to
see quarterback Tony Romo.
Not Fragale. He made a beeline for Jason Wit-
ten.
Asked if he was a bigger Cowboys fan or Wit-
ten fan, Fragale didn’t hesitate.
“Jason Witten fan, for sure,” he said, adding
that they share an alma mater: the University of
Tennessee.
Not everyone in the hangar favored the Cow-
boys, but words like “49ers” and “Eagles” were
only whispered. In fact, the first person in line,
Jordanne Buscher, who arrived an hour and a half
before the plane landed, admitted that even she
wasn’t a fan.
“I’m doing this for a friend’s mom,” she ex-
plained.
The wife of Construction Mechanic 3rd Class
Mike Buscher of Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion (NMCB) 3, eventually got what she came
for: Tony Romo’s signature.
Romo was by far the busiest player. He gamely
signed dozens of footballs, various articles of
clothing, even a baby blanket.
Hailey Schueller, 9, stood in several lines as her
dad, Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Robert
Schueller of NBVC Air Operations tried to keep
his 14-month-old son, Matthew, entertained.
Asked whose signatures she’d collected, Hailey
simply replied, “Lots.”

Squadron (VAW) 113 off the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during the 2014 Rim of the
Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise takes off from the aircraft carrier.

RIMPAC 2014, taking place in and around the Hawaiian Islands through Aug. 1, involves
22 nations, 49 surface ships, six subs, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel.

VAW-113
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — The
“World Famous Black Eagles” of Car-
rier Airborne Early Warning Squadron
(VAW) 113 left Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to
begin the biannual 2014 Rim of the Pa-
cific exercise July 7.
Aboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN
76), the squadron, homeported at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu, patiently waited for the main
events to take place while maintainers
worked around the clock, ensuring the
four E-2CHawkeye aircraft were in prime
condition to maximize participation. As
the main Command and Control plat-
form, the Hawkeye is essential to every
mission set.
While preparations were being made
in the Maintenance Department for cyclic
operations, Yeoman 3rd Class Jesus Du-
arteruiz reminisced about the time spent
in Hawaii, where all the participating
countries and their ships were gathered
in port. On July 1, Duarteruiz re-enlisted
for an additional five years of service.
The ceremony was conducted on the
flight deck of USS Ronald Reagan, with
a striking viewof Pearl Harbor, including
the USS Arizona Memorial off the port
side and the mountains of Oahu off the
bow. As a young Sailor, Duarteruiz is ac-
complishing a lot of firsts during the
month of July: his first re-enlistment and
his first deployment among them.
“It gives me a great sense of pride to
know I’m a team member of the Black
Eagles,” Duarteruiz said.
This sense of camaraderie permeates
the squadron.
“I’m honored to lead the Black Eagles
through RIMPAC,” said Cmdr. David S.
Dull, commanding officer. “There is no
better way to finish out my time than with
my Sailors on the boat working tireless-
ly to put planes in the air. Through de-
termined leadership at all levels, the
squadron has excelled during a com-
pressed high OPTEMPO workup cycle,
and now I get to watch them at peak per-
formance.”

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
There are many excellent reasons why
you should volunteer for the Fleet &
Family Support Center (FFSC) Retired
Activities Office (RAO) at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Huen-
eme.
Are you transitioning out of the mili-
tary and trying to find something to do
to ease your transition? Are you a mili-
tary family member who has recently
moved to the area? Have you been retired
for some time and want to help other
retired service members and their fami-
lies?
The RAO is the perfect avenue for you
to explore opportunities to give back to
the military community you support.
If you are transitioning out of the
military and you need work experience
to add to your resume, or if you’re just
trying to find the next step in your life or
career, becoming an RAO volunteer is a
great opportunity to achieve some of
these goals.
If you are looking for a job and you
have not had any success, volunteering is
great way to supplement your employ-
ment history. By using the volunteering
experience as part of your work history,
it shows that you are staying active and
dedicating your time to a valued cause.
Volunteering at the RAO is also a great
way to develop skills that employers focus
on, such as customer service, computer
skills and organization. If you recently
moved to the area and or just want to be
involved in the military community, the
RAO is great way to become integrated
into your new community.
Our goal is to serve the 4,500-plus
military retirees and their families and
approximately 1,000 military survivors
receiving Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)
payments living in Ventura County. The
RAO assists them either directly or by
referral with claims for benefits from the
military, federal Civil Service, Veterans
Administration and Social Security.
To meet the challenge of helping such
a large population, we have switched over
to a computer-based document manage-
ment system for reporting deaths, pro-
cessing benefit claims, changing benefi-
ciaries and carrying out other retiree or
annuitant requests. This change has the
RAO looking to find more military re-
tirees, spouses and annuitants with basic
to advanced computer skills.
The NBVCRAOhas two shifts —from
8 a.m. to noon and from noon to 4 p.m.
— Monday through Friday. If you can
volunteer for even one shift a week, we
have an opening for you.
By joining the NBVC RAO you will
train alongside an experienced represen-
tative until you feel confident enough to
go “solo.”
To volunteer, or to obtain more infor-
mation about our services, call us at 805-
982-4590 or come to the FFSC in Bldg.
1169 and ask for the RAO.
— Ed Pagliassotti is the RAO volunteer
coordinator.

COntinuED FROM 19
• Fix defective plumbing or dripping
faucets. A single dripping hot water
faucet can waste 212 gallons of water
a month. That not only increases wa-
ter bills, but also increases the gas or
electric bill for heating the water.

Personnel from the Naval Surface
Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Divi-
sion (NSWC PHD), provided compre-
hensive technical assistance and crew
training for USS Somerset (LPD 25)
for several months in preparation for
the ship’s Combat System Ship Quali-
fication Trials’ (CSSQT) live-fire exer-
cises on the sea test range off Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu.
The ship’s visit to NBVC Port Hue-
neme July 17-21 provided an opportu-
nity for NSWC PHD engineers to “put
the final touches on the equipment and
test plans,” said Rob Huffman, CSSQT
project officer.
Upon the ship’s arrival at Port Hue-
neme — a first-time visit for Somerset
— Capt. Theodore Olson, NSWC PHD
chief staff officer, greeted Somerset’s
commanding officer, Capt. Thomas
Dearborn, and executive officer, Capt.
Leonard Reed.
“We are very pleased to be here in
Port Hueneme,” said Dearborn, “and
we look forward to PHD’s continued
outstanding support for our upcoming
exercises.”
NSWC PHD employees and invited
guests of the base toured the ship while
it was in port.
Somerset is the Navy’s ninth and
newest San Antonio-class amphibious
transport dock ship and is homeport-
ed in San Diego. The ship is named in
honor of the crew and passengers of
United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed
near Shanksville, Pa., in Somerset
County on Sept. 11, 2001.

VAW-116
The “Sun Kings”of Carrier Air-
borne Early Warning Squadron
(VAW) 116 held the time-honored
naval traditionof achange of com-
mandceremonyJuly2aboardNaval
BaseVenturaCounty(NBVC) Point
Mugu.
The ceremony took place under
thedirectionof Capt. MatthewLea-
hey, commander, Carrier Air Wing
17. Morethan200Sailorsandguests
werepresent tosayfarewell toCmdr.
Daniel E. Harwood and welcome
Cmdr. Daniel C. Stone as the new
commanding officer.
Thechangeof commandisfull of
the Navy’s rich heritage and tradi-
tions. The heart of the ceremony is
the formal reading of the official
orders, after whichcommandpasses
uponthesaluteandutterancebythe
relieving officer, “I relieve you, Sir.”
Theofficer beingrelievedreturns the
salute and responds, “I stand re-
lieved.”
This simple but honored naval
tradition reflects the dedication for
the free men and women who serve
their nation proudly.
Stonebecamethe40thcommand-
ing officer of VAW-116 to speak
those words and to take command
of the Sun Kings. This marked the
end of Harwood’s command tour
and a beginning for the newexecu-
tive officer, Cmdr. Matthew C.
Thomas.
Normallythechangeof command
is held on the fantail of a destroyer,
thehangar bayof anaircraft carrier
or inthe hangar of anaviationunit,
but thisceremonywasdifferent. This
change of command took place in
the skies above NBVC Point
Mugu.
As the two-plane formation flew
overhead, Harwood’s voiceboomed
over the loudspeaker as he passed
commandover toStone. As soonas
commandhadbeenpassedbetween
the two officers, Harwood’s plane
brokeawaysharplytotheleft, signi-
fying that the change of command
was complete. After both planes
landed, HarwoodandStoneentered
VAW-116’s hangar for final remarks
and awards presentations with the
official party, consisting of Leahey;
Capt. Todd Watkins, commander,
Command Control and Logistics
Wing; and retired Capt. Raoul A.
Rall.
Duringhisfinal address, Harwood
praised the squadron for its work
duringhistenure. Heemphasizedthe
importanceof leadership: “Takecare
of thepeoplethat workfor you, and
they’ll return the favor,”he said.
He also emphasized the impor-
tanceof balancingworkandfamily:
“Likeyour work, but loveyour fam-
ily,” he said, “and make sure they
know it.” Finally, Harwood wel-
comed Thomas and wished Stone
luck as the new commanding offi-
cer.
“They’re all yours!”he said.
As Stone addressedhis squadron
as Skipper for the first time, he re-
flected on his service as the Sun
King’s executive officer under Har-
wood’s leadership.
“I will truly miss having you
around, as youhave beenmy friend
since we first flew together as FRS
[Fleet Replacement Squadron] stu-
dents 16 years ago,” he told Har-
wood. “Thank you for everything
youhavedonehereandallowingme
to inherit a phenomenal squad-
ron.”
Stone went on to share his goals
for VAW-116.
“Wehavebeenverysuccessful this
past year, meeting all tasking while
maintaining great morale,”he said.
“We have gone fromgood to great,
quietlydoingeverythingthat wehave
been asked to do and a little more.
Thenot-so-secret toour success has
been the Sun King family atmo-
spherewehave. Wearealways look-
ingout for fellowSunKings onand
off duty, makingsurethat wealways
aredoingtheright thing, evenwhen
it means goingout of our waytodo
it. Wedon’t accept anythingbut the
right way of doing business, andal-
ways make sure that we are training
our replacements.
“Some famous coach said that
becominggoodwashard, becoming
great was even harder, but staying
great was the hardest of them all.
My challenge to you, so our chal-
lenge, is tostaygreat. If wecontinue
tomaintaintheSunKingfamilyand
always train our replacements, we
can easily stay great.”

Seabees from across the
Naval Construction Force
welcomed the newcommo-
dore of 30th Naval Con-
struction Regiment (30th
NCR) during a change of
command ceremony July 25
on the parade field aboard
Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) Port Huen-
eme.
During the ceremony,
Capt. James G. Meyer re-
lieved Capt. Rodney M.
Moore, who had held the
position since June 2012.
The guest speaker, Capt.
Christopher A. Merwin,
commander of Navy Expe-
ditionary Forces Command
Pacific, thanked Moore for
his service and welcomed
the newest 30th NCRcom-
modore.
“Capt. Moore’s perfor-
mance and accomplish-
ments have been nothing
short of outstanding,”Mer-
win said. “His tenure fur-
ther built the regiment’s
tremendous battle-proven
legacy and has clearly
changed the way Seabees
will lead in future opera-
tions.”
Moore earned a Legion
of Merit —given for excep-
tional meritorious conduct
and outstanding perfor-
mance of services and
achievements — for his
foresight, leadership and
ability to accomplish mis-
sion requirements despite
sequestration.
“I am deeply honored to
have served with you, and
I am immensely proud of
you,” Moore said. “I sin-
cerely and humbly thank
you and your families for
your selfless service and
your countless sacrifices.
Capt. Meyer is the right
leader at the right time, and
I look forward to seeing all
the great work 30th NCR
will continue to do for our
Navy and Marine Corps
team.”
Moore then passed the
regimental flag to Meyer in
a tradition of courtesies
signifying the transfer of
command.
“I am extremely excited
and honored to be your
new commander,” Meyer
said. “I look forward to
working with you to make
the 30th NCR even better
while meeting our mission
requirements. The 30th has
an impressive history, and
I ameager to work with you
to build even further upon
the many successes the
regiment has achieved un-
der the strong leadership of
Capt. Moore.”
Meyer arrives at 30th
NCRfromNaval Construc-
tion Battalion Center, Gulf-
port, Mississippi, where he
served as executive officer.
AUniversity of Wisconsin,
Stanford University and
City University graduate,
Meyer is a Seabee Combat
Warfare officer, profes-
sional engineer in the state
of California and a member
of the Defense Acquisition
Corps.
His personal awards in-
clude five Meritorious Ser-
vice Medals, Joint Service
Commendation Medal,
four Navy and Marine
Corps Commendation
Medals and various other
individual and unit
awards.
During the last two years,
30th NCRhas participated

A newcomer to Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) took first place in the
monthly lunchtime 5K held Thursday,
July 17, at NBVC Port Hueneme.
Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 1st
Class Ramon Valdez, who recently
joined Fleet Readiness Center South-
west, Detachment Point Mugu, had a
winning time of 18 minutes, 54 sec-
onds.
Coming in second was the runner who
finished first the previous two months,
Lt. Cmdr. Rob Allen, executive officer
of Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 14.
His time was 19 minutes, 44 seconds.
“This guy’s fast,” Allen said of Valdez,
who came to Mugu from Strike Fighter
Squadron (VFA) 25 at Naval Air Station
Lemoore. “I knew that from the get-
go.”
The third-place finisher was pushing
a stroller. Builder 2nd Class Chris Guz-
man of Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion (NMCB) 3 and his son, Jesse, 2,
had a time of 20 minutes, 39 seconds.
Guzman has gotten used to running
with Jesse.
“My wife is training for a half mara-
thon, so I’ve taken the weight of carry-
ing him around,” Guzman said. “It gives
her a break.”
Jesse doesn’t seem to mind.
“More!” he called out as Guzman
walked around after the run, cooling
down.
A total of 33 ran or walked the 5K.
July marked the debut of a new course.
Instead of a loop starting at the Bee-
Hive, the runners head to Patterson
Road, then turn around and run back.
The course was changed because of de-
tours resulting from the conversion of
Building 267 into temporary quarters
for unaccompanied teens detained while
crossing into the United States illegal-
ly.
New route, new winner for lunchtime 5K
ASE1 Ramon Valdez, who recently joined

Airspace shared at NBVC
sisted by air traffic controllers, use visual
flight rules to avoid other aircraft. Often,
unmanned systems are smaller and more
difficult to see and avoid. NBVC’s Air Op-
erations department worked closely with
unmanned systems controllers for months
to develop safeguards and procedures to
make sure mixed use did not endanger
manned aircraft.
“We received the Class D Certificate of
Waiver or Authorization in February,”
Morris said, “but we kept internal restric-
tions in place at the direction of the base
commander.”
The restrictions gave air traffic control
and the teams operating the MQ-8C Fire
Scout — the only unmanned system au-
thorized to operate at NBVC in mixed
airspace —achance tobecome comfortable
with the new standard procedures.
“On July 8, Fire Scout Charlie conduct-
ed the very first mixed manned and un-
manned operation at a DoDfacility,”Mor-
ris said.
For Air Test and Evaluation Squadron
(VX) 30 — the squadron testing the MQ-
8CFire Scout jointly withNorthrupGrum-
man — the ability to operate in mixed
airspace is critical to successful, financial-
ly responsible testing.
“Having all these people here executing
tests costs money,” said Lt. Joe Collins,
MQ-8Cproject officer with VX-30. “Hav-
ing this in place makes us more efficient,
better stewards of the taxpayer’s dollars.”
The savings come fromthe ability tocon-
duct test flights while manned flights are
under way, Collins explained, which opens
the availability of testing windows on the
airfield.
“It demonstrates a capability that has
not been seen, and it shows the maturity
and reliability of the system,” he added.
For NBVC, the ability toallowmixed-use
airspace is critical to its future missions.
“We are very quickly becoming the Na-
vy’s preferred site for unmanned systems
innovations,” said Capt. Larry Vasquez,
NBVC’s commanding officer. “The exper-
tise of the personnel stationed here, direct
access to the 36,000-square-mile Point
MuguSea Test Range, andnowthis unique
operational ability make this an ideal place
to test, develop and maintain unmanned
systems in the future.”
NBVCis already home to a long history
of unmanned systems testing; Naval Air
Warfare Center Weapons Divisionhas been
testing unmanned targets and systems for
years at Point Mugu. Hangars there are
under renovation now and will soon be-
come home tothe MQ-8BFire Scout, MQ-
8C’s predecessor.
The MQ-8C“Charlie”model Fire Scout
is bigger and has a greater lift capacity than
the earlier MQ-8B “Bravo” model, which
is currently the Navy’s program of record
for Fire Scout. Both are intended to con-
duct surveillance missions from the deck
of a ship.
“I’m really impressed with [Charlie’s]
capabilities so far. If you go out on the
tarmac and watch this thing hover, it’s ee-
rily perfect. There’s a gust of wind and the
thing doesn’t move; it’s much more capable
of maintaining a steady hover than a
manned helicopter,” Collins said.
He should know; Collins is a helicopter
pilot himself, brought to VX-30 to be the
operational rotary wing expert. But he
doesn’t see Fire Scout or other unmanned
systems ever replacing live pilots.
“Unmanned aircraft are a complement
to manned flight,” Collins said, “but they
go a long way to reducing risk. Having eyes
in the sky for up to 12 hours . . . it will save
lives.”
