Hueneme’s Seabee Golf Course.

The clubhouse at the Seabee Golf Course,
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme has reopened after a 12-week re-
modeling project that visitors called “awe-
some”and said gives the base a much-need-
ed meeting space and a sense of commu-
nity.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer
of NBVC, helped cut the ribbon Thursday
morning, May 15, then walked in and saw
for the first time how the renovation had
created an open, lodge-type feel to the facil-
ity.
The clubhouse restaurant, called the 19th
Hole Grill, has an expanded menu featuring
daily specials and Starbucks coffee.
“We wanted to bring something fresh and
newto the base,”explained Norman Verde-
prado, business activity manager for Navy
Region Southwest Dining Services.
Lt. Cmdr. Chris Casne of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 5 walked in shortly

Question: Why aren’t the single-family homes at
Catalina Heights housing reserved for E7 and above
anymore? I believe this policy is contrary to the intent
behind the Navy’s fraternization policy, and it also
seems unfair that an E8, E9, O4 or O5 with a $2,500
to $3,000 BAH could be assigned a townhouse while
an E4 with an $1,800 BAH could be assigned a single-
family home. Thank you for your consideration.
Answer: Catalina Heights, managed by Lincoln
Military Housing as part of a public-private venture
(PPV), has always been an open community, accom-
modating all ranks of service members throughout
family housing in any home that is available. Homes
are filled as per Navy wait list policies and with
respect to the Navy/PPV operating agreement and
management plan.
Our PPV neighborhoods stay above 95 percent
capacity these days, and as we continue to grow — we
are set to gain 700 to 900 personnel over the next
seven years — this will continue to be the case. Hold-
ing single family homes open based on rank, rather
than filling homes with those who qualify as space is
available, is not feasible or recommended in such a
high-demand environment. It’s not how we take care of
our Sailors.
As for the Navy’s fraternization policy, living in
a neighborhood with Sailors junior to you does not
constitute fraternization. Fraternization is inappropri-
ate behavior and relationships between you and junior
Sailors; your own actions are what are judged, not
your street address. We are all part of the Navy family,
and living side-by-side helps remind us of that.

Why can’t Catalina Heights single-family homes be allocated according to rank?w

Department of NAVFAC EXWC, celebrate
Naval Base Ventura County’s victory in the
tug-of-war competition.
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
started out the 2014 Ventura Corporate
Games in first place in its division.
It never budged.
The base won the tug-of-war on May
10, the last day of the six-week competi-
tion, capping its first-place finish. Amgen,
which at one point had been three points
behind the base, closed in third place, with
the County of Ventura coming in sec-
ond.
NBVCplaced in 16 of the 23 Corporate
Games events, said Robert Bonner, who
has organized the base’s involvement in
the event for the last several years. Bonner
is an engineer with Naval Facilities Engi-
neering and Expeditionary Warfare Cen-
ter (NAVFAC EXWC).
The final tally was seven first-place gold
medals, five second-place silver medals
and four third-place bronze medals.
Bonner posted photos of the events to

Charles Peters’ life was turned around
by a beautiful Beagle named Bailey.
In the depths of depression after his wife
of 62 years passed away last year, Peters,
at his daughter’s urging, went to the ani-
mal control shelter in Camarillo to look
for a companion.
But it was Bailey who chose the 86-year-
old Navy retiree — not the other way
around.
“She came right up to me and stayed
right by me,” Peters recalls. “I told my
daughter, ‘Mother’s still with us and look-
ing out for us.’”
So last month, when Bailey — spotting
some squirrels or birds or whatever it was
that caught her fancy — broke free from
her harness and took off, Peters was dev-
astated.
“We were down by 20th and Beach
Road,” recalled Peters, who enjoys bring-
ing Bailey to Naval Base Ventura County,
Point Mugu, where he finds it quieter and
safer than his Oxnard neighborhood. “She
was gone like a lightning bolt, and I went
to pieces. I had a total meltdown.”
Not knowing what else to do, he made
his way to the fire station.

Free makeovers and a fashion
showwere among the attractions
that drew more than 500 people
to the Military Spouse Apprecia-
tion event Thursday, May 8, at
the Bee Hive Gym at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
Spouses, many with children in
tow, had their hair and makeup
done and took advantage of a
free photo booth during the
three-hour event put on by the
Fleet & Family Support Center.
A line had begun forming be-
fore the doors opened at 10
a.m.
“I came last year and it was
pretty fun,” Rebekah Sandridge
said as a stylist from Alejandro
Salon in Ventura curled her hair.
Sandridge’s spouse is Utilities-
man 3rd Class David Sandridge
with Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 3.
A fashion show halfway
through the event featured spous-
es and base workers modeling
clothes from the Navy Ex-
change.
Free food was served.
Builder 2nd Class Nathan Dar-
nell of NMCB4 accompanied his
wife, Callie, and the two left with
a new coffeemaker, one of 45
prizes given away.
Callie said she was still making
newfriends after arriving on base
in September. She takes her 16-
month-old son, Henry, to a play
groupsponsoredby her husband’s
battalion, and that has helped her
meet more people.
Making new friends, finding a
new job — basically picking up
and starting over again every few
years —it’s all part of the reason
the FFSC put on the event, ex-
plained Corey Kendrick, the om-
budsman coordinator for FFSC
and one of the event organiz-
ers.
Amilitary spouse herself —her
husband is Chief Aviation Elec-
tronics Technician Mickey Ken-
drick with Carrier Airborne
Early Warning Squadron (VAW)
116 — Kendrick remembers an
especially painful move to Nor-
folk, Va.
“We were going to be there for
only eight months, and I knew
it,” she recalls. “It was hard to
meet people when you knew you
were going to be gone soon. Find-
ing work was hard. And he was
gone 50 percent of the time.”
Military Spouse Appreciation
events are designed to honor the
people who have to cope with is-
sues like this, she said.
“Isolation, being separated
from family, finding volunteer
work to pull you out of the house
— these are all challenges,” she
said. “We know military spous-
es face other unique challenges
as well, and that’s why we want
to take a moment to thank
them.”
Spotlight shines on spouses at annual appreciation event

In less than a month, most local stu-
dents will be finishing their school year.
As exciting as summer is for students,
the significance of the end of the school
year should not be overlooked. With fi-
nals, graduations, parties and special field
trips, it is easy to forget some of the es-
sential items that should be considered at
this time of the year.
For many students, the end of the school
year means saying goodbye to friends and
teachers. Although some of those friends
may be able to reconnect the next school
year, some may not. Even if your family
is not moving this summer, your child’s
friend’s family might be. If your student
is transitioning to a higher level school
— moving from elementary school to
middle school, for example —some friends
may not be transitioning to the same
school. It is important to talk to your chil-
dren about goodbyes and ways to connect
with friends they may not see again in the
fall.
Parents can encourage their children to
talk about their friendships and saying
goodbye by asking them what they’ll re-
member about the school year and what
they’ll miss. If they’re old enough, ask
them to write about their school year.
Younger ones can talk about it and draw
pictures. It might also be nice to take pic-
tures of your child with some of his or her
favorite friends.
Another key person at your child’s
school who they will be saying goodbye
to is their teacher. Teachers spend every
day with the students and build strong
relationships with them. Unfortunately, in
these days of school budget cuts, there is
no guarantee that a child’s current teach-
er will be on campus next school year.
Make sure that your children are able to
say a proper goodbye to their teachers and
that they share their (and your) apprecia-
tion for a successful school year.
If your family happens to be one of the
many military families who will be moving
this summer, a few more tasks must be
considered. If you haven’t already done
so, please notify your child’s teacher and
school office that your child will not be
returning next school year. Schools staff
teachers according to the number of stu-
dents they expect to have the next school
year. It’s important that they knowif your
family will not returning.
Also, before the last day of school, make
sure you have the school’s contact infor-
mation and the name of the person that
should be contacted by the new school to
request your student’s records. You will
not be carrying your student’s file to the
next school. Once registered at the next
school, the new school will request files
from the previous school. It will be wise
to hold on to a copy of the final report
card and a copy of the most current In-
dividualized Education Plan (IEP) if your
student is receiving special education ser-
vices.
As the school year winds down, it is
important that parents with older children
check in to make sure their student is pro-
gressing to end the school year success-
fully. It is an unfortunate situation when
report cards arrive a few weeks into sum-
mer with disappointing grades. It is even
more disappointing when those poor
grades could have been prevented by com-
pleting missed assignments. Some teachers
will accept late work. Parents and students
should not be caught off guard, but in-
stead should be monitoring grades before
the school year ends.
Summer is exciting, and it is just around
the corner. Before we turn that corner, it’s
important to make sure all is taken care
of before leaving this school year be-
hind.

Worship schedule
I was blessed to receive an invite from
a friend and fellow baseball fan to hear
legendary Dodgers Coach Tommy Las-
orda speak at the Ronald Reagan Library
in Simi Valley.
As an added bonus, the library also
hosted a special exhibition of some of
the rarest items from the history of base-
ball. Among the many priceless items
there: Babe Ruth’s bat, a Hank Aaron
home run ball and other iconic artifacts
important to both our national pastime
as well as the history of our country.
It was an absolute pleasure to see old-
er men and women beaming like little
kids as they strolled down Memory Lane
to revisit ball players and teams from
their childhood. I also enjoyed seeing the
interaction between the younger and the
older generations. Though separated by
decades, they bonded through their com-
mon love of a favorite player or home
team.
One of the wisest men who ever lived
on the face of the Earth penned these
amazing words for living. It is from the
book Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3: “A time to
give birth and a time to die; A time to
plant and a time to uproot what is plant-
ed. A time to kill and a time to heal; A
time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh; A
time to mourn and a time to dance.”
There is an appropriate time and season
for everything in life. Because we serve
or support those who serve in uniform,
we’ve probably had more than our fair
share of tears and heartaches along the
way. There are many hidden sacrifices
military folks and their loved ones make
for our nation that most will never know
about. For that very reason alone we
should always make time to do something
that makes us giddy with laughter or joy
in our lives.
For me, that happens to be baseball.
For someone else, it may be taking your
kids to Comic-Con so they can meet their
childhood heroes like Captain America
or Superman in person. For the outdoors
type, you can always take your family on
a local deep sea fishing trip and catch
some nice fish to take home for supper.
Every time we deploy from our loved
ones, we in essence are putting our job
or mission ahead of them. There is a time
and a season for that. But when you are
back home from deployment, make sure
you put your family and loved ones right
back at the very top of your life’s prior-
ity list.
One of the ways you can show your
love and appreciation for them is by tak-
ing time to do something fun and joyous
for them. There is a time for work and
there is a time for play. May God bless
you and your loved ones greatly!

30th NCR
Nearly 40 medical, communi-
cation and support staff from
service commands across the
United States are joining the 30th
Naval Construction Regiment
(30th NCR), based at Naval Base
Ventura County, in support of
humanitarian mission Pacific
Partnership 2014 (PP14).
At the invitation of host na-
tions, PP14 unifies the efforts of
partner nation militaries, host na-
tion civilian agencies and non-
governmental organizations
(NGOs) to strengthen the collec-
tive ability of the international
community to operate as a team
in delivering foreign humanitar-
ian aid in times of natural disas-
ter or crisis.
In its ninth iteration, PP14 is
the largest annual multilateral
humanitarian assistance and di-
saster relief preparedness mission
conducted in Asia-Pacific re-
gion.
Seabees from 30th NCR left
recently for Indonesia and East
Timor to join up with teams of
medical and engineering person-
nel, veterinarians, logisticians,
military musicians, dental techni-
cians, electronic communication
specialists, U.S. Army civil affairs
representatives, partner nations
and NGOs in an effort to build
capacity, strengthen relationships,
improve interoperability and bet-
ter prepare teams to respond to
natural disasters or crisis.
“It is an incredible honor to
work with such a diverse group
of people,” said Capt. Rodney
Moore, commodore of 30th
NCR. “We’re all fortunate to em-
bark on a mission focused on
helping people in need while
working in close collaboration
with our partners. I am proud of
everyone we’re taking on this
project, and I look forward to
what work we’ll be able to accom-
plish as a joint, multinational
group.”
Moore said he was also looking
forward to “exchanging exper-
tise” with allies and partner na-
tions.
“Preparing and training in a
peacetime state gives us a unique
opportunity to leverage resourc-
es and work together to make
communities safer and increase
our ability to assist the local
populace should a natural disas-
ter of crisis arise,” Moore said.
In addition to leadership pro-
vided by 30th NCR, the team
includes a deputy phase com-
mander and military teams from
New Zealand and Australia.
Currently, an Indonesia ad-
vance team, with help from local
contractors and members of the
Indonesian National Armed
Forces, is making repairs to a
school roof, building a medical
facility and installing solar pumps
for two wells.
Building on the lessons learned
in prior missions, PP14 not only
enables new friendships and ce-
ments existing ones, but the ap-
proach this year is to work with
local providers toimprovetheir own
skills that they canthenimplement
locally. Thismoresustainable“train-
the-trainer” approach empowers
leaders to better serve the needs of
the people by giving them the
knowledge necessary to make a
positive difference intheir commu-
nities.
“I’ve never been on deployment
before, andthis is my first duty sta-
tion,” said Electronics Technician
Seaman Lyrissa Tuyin. “I volun-
teered for this mission because I
want to go overseas, see another
country and help other people. I
already doa lot of community ser-
vice volunteer work, so getting the
chancetodothis inanother country
is such a valuable opportunity.”
Pacific Partnership missions to
date have provided medical care to
approximately 250,000 patients,
veterinary services to more than
37,000animals, accomplishedmore
than 170 engineering projects, and
enabledcritical infrastructuredevel-
opment in Cambodia, Federated
States of Micronesia, Indonesia,
Kiribati, Palau, Papua NewGuin-
ea, Republic of the Philippines,
Republic of Marshall Islands, Sa-
moa, Solomon Islands, Timor-
Leste, Tonga, Vanuatu and Viet-
nam.

It has taken 16 years — nearly half her
life —but Builder 2nd Class Marie Mataia
Tauai of Naval Construction Group
(NCG) 1 is finally getting her bachelor’s
degree.
On May 31, the Seabee’s family, friends
and mentors will celebrate at Duke’s Place
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme, honoring a woman who
came to the United States from Western
Samoa in 1999, determined to go to col-
lege.
“I came for school — for college,” she
recalls. “And I tried, but I found out that
nothing is free over here.”
Today, at 35, Tauai has seven years of
military service under her belt. She’s been
deployed three times, including one 11-
month stint in Afghanistan, the longest
period when she wasn’t enrolled in a
class.
She also has a husband and a daughter
— and soon, a bachelor of science degree
in criminology from the University of La
Verne.
The degree wouldn’t have been possible,
she says, without the Navy College. She
knows because she’d tried.
Tauai estimates her degree cost $50,000
over the 16 years. The Navy’s Tuition As-
sistance programpaid $16,000 of that, and
the Navy College helped set her up in a
solid program that kept her on track. A
class or two at one community college, a
few more at another, some more at an on-
line school — all of that was replaced by
a focused curriculum leading to one goal:
a degree.
“Stories like hers make my job fulfill-
ing,” says Rochelle Goitia, an education
services specialist at the Navy College at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme. “She faced so many challenges,
and her dreams were realized.”
Tauai is the eldest of eight siblings. She
didn’t learn English until the sixth grade
— British English — but she loved
school.
“When I came to the United States, it
was a real culture shock,” she recalls. “I
had a hard time writing papers. We’d be
assigned a five- or six-page paper, and I’d
go home, pour all my thoughts out in Sa-
moan, then wait two or three days and
start translating.
“I did that for a long time.”
Her first stop was Seattle, where he at-
tended community college. She took Eng-
Seabee earns her bachelor’s degree after 16-year effort
lishas a SecondLanguage classes andcrim-
inology. She alsoworkedfull-time for a cur-
rency exchange firm, which eventually of-
fered her a marketing position in
Philadelphia.
On the East Coast, she enrolled at the
University of Phoenix, located right across
the street fromwhere she workeddowntown.
She’d get off work at 4 p.m., cross the street
and go to class until 10 p.m.
In 2003, the company transferred her to
Atlanta, but shortlyafter she made the move,
she was laidoff. By then, she hadmet fellow
SamoanEsera Tauai, andthey marriedand
moved to Augusta. Marie was determined
tocontinue school, soin2007 she joinedthe
Navy, planning to stay for four years so she
could get the benefits of the G.I. Bill. She
came toNaval Base VenturaCountyin2008
as aSeabee withNaval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 40, enrolled in the Uni-
versity of La Verne, then started deploying.
Okinawa, Japan; Afghanistan; Sasebo, Japan
— she stayed focused even through the
downtime, throughthe decommissioningof
NMCB 40, through the adoption of a
daughter and through a transfer to NCG
1.
“And here I am!”she says with pride.
More than100 people are expectedat the
May 31 celebration, including two siblings
who now live in the United States. Her
daughter, now 3, will be there, as will her
husband.
One special guest will be Dr. Michael
Webb, a University of La Verne professor
who taught three of her classes and whom
she considers a mentor. He’ll be speaking at
the celebration.
Alsoattendingwill be several womenfrom
a rehabilitation center where Tauai volun-
teers.
Tauai hopes her story will motivate other
Sailors to pursue a degree.
“It’s a challenge,” she said, “but I defi-
nitely recommend it.”
So after 16 years of classes, what are her
plans?
To start a 17th.
She’ll be taking online classes to pursue a
master’s degree incommunity organization,
planning and administration through the
University of SouthernCalifornia, focusing
on the reasons why young people get into
the juvenile justice system and what deter-
rence efforts work.
And she doesn’t plan to stop there. She
hopes toeventuallyearnadoctorate anduse
her educationtofight the humantrafficking
and drug abuse that plague her homeland.

Despite temperatures in the 80s, about
30 runners and walkers took part in the
Spring Fling 5K Thursday, May 15, at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
The free monthly lunchtime 3.1-mile run
put on by Morale, Welfare and Recreation
(MWR) included a special admonition by
Athletic Manager Kevin Ludwig for run-
ners to stay hydrated and slow down or
stop if they felt overheated.
Several minutes after the run began,
Ludwig drove the course to make sure no
one was falling victim to the heat.
Lt. Cmdr. Rob Allen, executive officer
of Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 14,
came in first with a time of 19 minutes, 37
seconds.
“It was a little warm,” he said as he
sipped water at the finish line.
The next lunchtime run is the June 19
June Gloom 5K at NBVC Point Mugu.
Registration starts at 11 a.m. and the run
starts at 11:30 a.m. at Family Beach.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 recently hosted Bernd Simon
to talk about his experiences as a survivor
of a concentration camp during World
War II.
National Holocaust Remembrance Day
was April 28, and more than 400 Seabees
filled the Bee Hive Gym at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme
that day to listen to Simon’s story and
message.
Legalman 1st Class Stacey Langford,
one of the organizers of the event, said
the battalion wanted to do something that
would have impact and also honor the
“remarkable man and what he had en-
dured.”
“We wanted to educate everyone about
what it was like during the Holocaust and
educate the members of the battalion
about what [Simon] went through during
the Holocaust and why we can’t let it hap-
pen again,” Langford said.
Simon, 93, was imprisoned at the
Dachau concentration camp in Germany
in the early 1940s. Simon said he was re-
leased after two years when his mother
provided forged documentation.
After his release, Simon escaped Nazi-
controlled Germany through Cuba and
came to the United States. He served in
the Army Air Corps, flying B-24 bombers
over Europe. After the war he went on
serving as a civilian, working in Army
intelligence as a Nazi hunter.
“He is a sweet, precious man,”said Con-
struction Electrician Constructionman
Lesly Herrerapelayo. “It was an honor to
speak to a Holocaust survivor and to learn
about those who have survived those
struggles from the past.”
After speaking to the crowd, Simon had
a final message before he saluted the crowd
of Seabees.
“It doesn’t matter what color your skin
or your religion, do right by everybody
and be fair to everyone,” said Simon.
“Love your country. It’s free.”

UCT 2
Fresh from the warm deep waters of
Guam, Seabee divers from Underwater
Construction Team (UCT) 2 arrived in
Chinhae, South Korea, last month to par-
ticipate in Exercise Foal Eagle 2014
(FE14).
Over a period of seven days, UCT2 and
South Korean Sea Salvage and Rescue
Unit (SSU) divers worked hand in hand
in support of harbor clearance and port
recovery scenarios, with emphasis on the
placement of underwater concrete.
UCT2’s knowledge of waterfront struc-
tures helped facilitate the first underwater
concrete placement in SSU history. From
the classroom to the field, both nations
worked long hours to complete construc-
tion of formwork and successfully place
more than 5 cubic meters of concrete un-
der water.
“The SSU divers are experts in salvage
—they dive the same rigs and use the same
dive manual as we do. What we’re trying
to do is provide them a taste of UCT ca-
pabilities,” said Construction Electrician
1st Class Daniel Luberto, the leading
petty officer (LPO) for Construction Div-
ing Detachment Charlie.
The SSU divers, he said, “have very
little underwater construction experience,
but their motivation to learn, and strong
work ethic helped us overcome many chal-
lenges to complete a successful training
evolution.”
Along with constructing training forms
to practice different techniques of under-
water concrete placement, UCT 2 devel-
oped a comprehensive training plan to
further the understanding of howconcrete
can be used to repair damaged sections
of piers.
Both teams worked together to use
wooden and steel formwork to encase a
steel pier pile in concrete to enhance struc-
tural integrity. Using a surface supplied
diving system and underwater hydraulic
tools, divers prepped the steel pile by
cleaning loose scale, rust and marine
growth. Once the pile was clean, the divers
took precise measurements to fabricate the
necessary forms.
“The biggest barrier with training was
language,” said Builder 2nd Class Joseph
Hophan, project supervisor. “But once we
got in the water and started working, ev-
erything fell into place and worked out
great. We were able to complete so much
in such a short time, and I couldn’t be
more happy how things unfolded.”
Once all formwork was complete and
lowered in the water, UCT 2 divers used
two topside forms to demonstrate the
proper procedures of howto place under-
water concrete.
“There’s a big difference to placing con-
crete on surface versus underwater,” said
Hophan. “The ability to rehearse and
show them topside was invaluable and
definitely set us up doing the same thing
underwater.”
While working in cold water with poor
visibility, safety was a main concern. UCT
divers instructed the SSU divers on the
proper use of personal protective equip-
ment while constructing forms.
The SSU divers “gained indispensible
insight of what the UCTs do on a daily
basis,” said Luberto. “They realized the
great importance of waterfront construc-
tion while using ingenuity and teamwork
to get the job done.”

VAW-117
The Wallbangers of Carrier Airborne
Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 117 ex-
ecuted a change of command May 1 in
Hangar 553 at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) Point Mugu.
Cmdr. Richard W. Carnicky relieved
Cmdr. William R. Reed as commanding
officer of the squadron. Carnicky becomes
the 32nd commander to take charge of
the Wallbangers.
From December 2012 until his change
of command, Reed led the Wallbangers
with the command philosophy of “Fam-
ily, Integrity, Excellence.” While in com-
mand, his Wallbangers completed a de-
ployment of more than eight months,
earning the Battle “E” Award as well as
Carrier Air Wing 11’s Golden Wrench
Award.
The Wallbangers were also honored
with the coveted Rear Adm. Frank Aker’s
award, given to the top carrier airborne
early warning squadron in the fleet.
Reed’s last words as the Wallbangers’
commanding officer centered on thanking
his family, the community and the squad-
ron. At the end of his speech, he passed
his charge to Carnicky: “When in doubt,
serve — serve the carrier strike group,
serve Carrier Air Wing 11, but most im-
portantly, serve the incredible men and
women of VAW-117.”
As the new commanding officer of the
Wallbangers, Carnicky addressed the
squadron, emphasizing “Family, Pride and
Professionalism.”
“We treat each other with dignity and
respect, compassion and tolerance,” he
said. “We celebrate our differences and
capitalize on those aspects which make
each one of us unique.”
He stressed the importance of striving
to be better each day.
“We show pride in our work, in our ac-
complishments, and in ourselves,”he said.
“What we do is important, and we mat-
ter.”
Carnicky welcomed the new executive
officer, Cmdr. Randy Cruz, to the Wall-
banger family and said he looked forward
to the work ahead.
The guest speaker for the ceremony was
Capt. Kevin Mannix, commanding officer
of Carrier Air Wing 11.

NAWCWD Public Affairs
Navy officers and identical
twin sisters Lt. Allie Cameron
and Lt. Jess Cameron were the
guest speakers at last month’s
Administrative Professionals’
Day luncheonat the BardMan-
sion, Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Port Huen-
eme.
First to speak was Allie, who
is assigned to the Air Test and
Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30
“Bloodhounds,”where she is an
instructor pilot, aircraft com-
mander and mission com-
mander on the P-3 aircraft.
She was followed by Jess,
who is a weapons and tactics
instructor on the E-2C Hawk-
eye at NBVCPoint Mugu. Jess
instructs and trains all Hawk-
eye squadrons on the West
Coast and Japan.
Allie admitted that when she
took over collateral duties as
VX-30’s administrative division
officer and public affairs offi-
cer, she gained a new apprecia-
tion for those administrative
professionals who keep the
squadrons running.
“You have made our lives
easier, much more organized
and efficient, with the support
we’ve been provided through-
out our Navy careers,” Allie
said.
She then shared howshe and
her twin came to be naval of-
ficers. They were raised in a
non-military family in Middle-
boro, Mass. Their father was a
high school mathematics teach-
er and their mother taught high
school German and Latin.
Their older brother, Erik, was
their mentor and eventually
became a chemical engineer.
When they were in high
school, they said, their parents
encouraged them to look into
ROTC as they considered pro-
spective colleges.
“We were a little unsure
about committing to the ROTC
at first,” Allie said. “But then
we decided, why not? Why not
get out of our comfort zone
and challenge ourselves to be
more than we thought we could
be? We thought we’d give it a
try.
“Our parents always encour-
aged us to follow our interests.
They never told us we couldn’t
do something. I would regret
not trying and always wonder-
ing if I could have done it,
rather than attempting it and
realizing it didn’t work out.
“We both applied to flight
school and got in.”
The Cameron sisters gradu-
ated fromBoston University in
2007 with bachelor’s degrees in
biology. They were commis-
sioned as ensigns on USS Con-
stitution in Boston, the world’s
oldest commissioned naval ves-
sel afloat. Initial flight school
training began in Pensacola,
Fla., where they learned to fly
a Cessna 172 and Piper Toma-
hawk. That screening was fol-
lowed by aviation preflight
indoctrination.
Their paths veered after flight
school when Allie transferred
to Enid, Oklahoma, for pri-
mary flight training on the T-6
Texan II, a two-seater ejection
seat propeller aircraft. She then
completed advanced training
on the T-44 Pegasus in Corpus
Christi, Texas, earned her
“wings of gold” as a naval
aviator and was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant junior
grade.
Jess remained in Pensacola
for primary flight training in
the T-6 Texan II and took in-
termediate training in the T-1
Jayhawk. She completed ad-
vanced training in her fleet
aircraft, the E-2C Hawkeye,
with Carrier Airborne Early
Warning Squadron (VAW) 120
Fleet Replacement Squadron
at Naval Base Norfolk, Vir-
ginia. She earned her “wings
of gold”as a naval flight officer
and was promoted to the rank
of lieutenant junior grade.
The Camerons have been de-
ployed and stationed all over
the world. Jess was stationed at
Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Ja-
pan, and routinely flewaround
Mount Fuji and looked down
upon “Fujisan” the stratovol-
cano (12,389 feet) that she had
also climbed. She stood on top
of Mount Suribachi on Iwo To
for fellow officer promotions
and military re-enlistments.
Allie was deployed to Italy
and happened to be in Sicily
when Mount Etna, Europe’s
tallest active stratovolcano
(10,922 feet) blew up.
There are no statistics on
how many twins grow up to
become naval aviators. but as
identical twin sisters, the Cam-
erons are unique. They realized
they would always be a minor-
ity in a male-dominated field,
but that has not deterred them
from advancing and becoming
experts and leaders at a young
age. Allie has flown more than
1,200 hours in six different air-
craft and has collectively logged
more than 1,600 airborne
hours. Jess has flown more than
1,100 hours in the E-2CHawk-
eye and has logged more than
250 hours as mission com-
mander. At 28 years old, both
Camerons manage significant
responsibilities and roles in the
squadrons they support.
The twins are currently pur-
suing their master’s degrees in
global leadership through the
University of SanDiegoSchool
of Business Administration.
The April 24 luncheon was
hosted by the Naval Air War-
fare Center Weapons Division
(NAWCWD) Corporate Sup-
port Board, Point Mugu Chap-
ter.

Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Di-
vision (NAWCWD) teamed with Califor-
nia State University Channel Islands (CI)
in Camarillo to bring the Great Inventors
Programto Hueneme High School in Ox-
nard.
NAWCWDvolunteer Kimberly Schrock
supervised CI mentors at the high school
laboratory to teach Mathematics, Engi-
neering and Science Academy (MESA)
students during an eight-week period end-
ing May 2.
The students learned 3-D design and
printing in a hands-on, project-oriented
learning environment. The program was
designed in fall 2013, and the pilot pro-
gramwas implemented at Hueneme High
over the spring 2014 semester.
MESA students are sophomores who
have completed basic programming course
work.
CI’s Great Inventors 3-D printing pro-
gram was made available through a grant
from Achieving a Cooperative College
Education through Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Opportunities (ACCESO).
CI students developed two different
projects for the MESA students: One
group created a catapult, and the other
experimented with an egg drop capsule.
Dr. Cindy Wyels, a mathematics faculty
member who’s currently CI’s director of
Project ACCESO, and Sandra Birming-
ham, STEM pipeline outreach coordina-
tor, worked closely with Trish Gresham,
NAWCWD’s former education outreach
coordinator, to bring the Great Inventors
program to the school.
NAWCWD supports STEM activities
throughout Kern and Ventura counties
during the school year and actively recruits
the talents of NAWCWD employees and
Engineer and Scientist Development Pro-
gram (ESDP) volunteers to spend time
with youngsters to stimulate their interest
in STEM careers.
“With the help of the NAWCWD engi-
neers, our outreach programs have been
incredibly successful and impactful on the
students we serve,” said Birmingham.
She had special praise for Schrock.
“Schrock played the crucial role of the
STEMexpert to mentor the CI volunteers,
going over the daily goals for each group,
ensuring that they are on-task and follow-
ing the steps of the engineering design
process and considering critical design
questions,” she said.
Schrock coordinated with Birmingham
and CI mentors who are majoring in
STEM fields.
“The first few meetings we had with CI
in the fall covered the engineering design
process,” Schrock said. “We then worked
with the students using a basic solid mod-
eling programcalled “Cubify”in conjunc-
tion with their 3-D printer. The students
started using “Scratch,” a website that
introduces users to basic coding concepts.
There was a module about each of these
elements. Then they completed a module
on designing something.
“This is simply a framework,” Schrock
added. “The program design is what we
worked on this semester.”

Hueneme students in the after-school program. The Great Inventors program teaches
students engineering basics through competitive construction projects like building a
small catapult.

CECOS Public Affairs
Rear Adm. Katherine Grego-
ry, Commander Naval Facilities
Engineering Command (NAV-
FAC) and chief of civil engi-
neers, addressed 66 graduates
and their friends, families, men-
tors and coworkers from the
Civil Engineer Corps Officers
School (CECOS) during a cer-
emony May 9 at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme.
Gregory talked about the im-
portance of the military in the
changing global environment,
noting that the members of CE-
COS Basic Class 256 “are part
of the greatest military the world
has ever known.”
“I will try and embody the
‘Can Do’ spirit of the Seabees as
I manage construction projects
at Camp Lejeune,”said graduate
Ensign Bradform Garrigues. “I
suspect I’ll continue to lean heav-
ily on my fellow junior offi-
cers.”
The new graduates were as-
signed to NAVFAC positions in
the U.S. and abroad, Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalions
(NMCBs) at NBVC Port Huen-
eme and in Gulfport, Miss., and
Amphibious Construction Bat-
talions in Little Creek, Virginia,
and Coronado.
“I will remember the field
training exercise (FTX) the
most,” said graduate Ensign
MatthewKarny. “It was great to
get out of the classroomand ap-
ply the skills that we were learn-
ing. We also had great advisers.
Their willingness to help and the
real world experiences that they
brought to the exercise were very
valuable. The class had some
funny moments as well — an
overall great experience.”
The FTXis strategically placed
within the CECOS curriculum
to give newly commissioned
CEC officers and lateral trans-
fers the chance to perform and
execute skills learned in the
classroom, such as establishing
camp, conducting patrols, lead-
ing convoys, operating the com-
bat operations center and mis-
sion planning to execute engineer
reconnaissance operations.
When asked what advice he
would give to incoming students
for the next CECOS Basic Class,
Ensign Chanhan Lee said, “I
would advise themto be open to
ideas. Everyone they are about
to meet comes from different
walks of life, and all of the ma-
terials they are about to learn are
actually useful when they reach
their ultimate duty stations. But
at the same time, don’t be too
caught up with classes. Get out
and meet everyone in the class
and get to know your advisers
as well, because knowing them
now will help you out in the fu-
ture.”
Garrigues advised incoming
junior CEC officers to do some-
thing memorable.
“Take a trip to Las Vegas, see
a concert at the Majestic Ven-
tura Theater, eat at a food truck
and swim in the Pacific Ocean,”
he said. “I’ll always remember
hiking in the mountains above
Santa Barbara while the East
Coast endured a polar vortex.”

NMCB 4
FORT HUNTER LIGGETT — Pop!
Pop! Pop! The sound of small arms fire
erupts all around. Bang! Bang! Explosions
from simulated mortar rounds send every-
one in the camp running for cover. Hearts
race as the adrenaline rush puts everyone
on edge. This is it, the finale, the last “hoo-
rah” that marks the end of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4’s field
training exercise (FTX).
The FTX was a two-week event that
started April 12 and evaluated the building
skills and tactical proficiency of the Seabees
of NMCB 4.
“The actual purpose of a field training
exercise is to assess deployment capabili-
ties,” said Senior Chief Builder Alec Ca-
ligagan, the battalion’s operations chief and
veteran of more than 30 FTXs on both the
battalion side and evaluator side. “It dem-
onstrates that the battalion is ready for
operations in a given theater and lets the
higher echelon grade us.
“It’s the equivalent to all the battle sta-
tions and work-ups that ships do before
they are deemed deployable and mission
ready,” he added.
NMCB 4 is deploying to the Pacific the-
ater of operations later this year, and this
FTX tested skills in areas that the battalion
will use during the deployment. Skills such
as convoy security, erecting structures and
repairing roads have been taught and per-
fected over the last eight months of the
homeport period.
For the construction part of the exercise,
NMCB 4 built a forward operating base,
SWA (Southwest Asia) huts simultane-
ously at multiple locations and a bunker.
The Seabees repaired roads and de-launched
a medium girder bridge that was erected
by NMCB 17, the accompanying reserve
battalion. They also performed multiple
convoys, all while being aggressed by role
players assigned by Naval Construction
Group (NCG) 1.
Other graded events during FTX in-
cluded a mass casualty exercise, a CBR
(chemical, biological and radiological) ex-
ercise, various aggressions on the forward
operating base and the ability of NMCB
4’s Air Detachment to deploy and operate
independently of the main battalion.
“Does everybody understand that we are
finishing FTX a day and a half early?”
Cmdr. Jeff Kilian, the commanding officer
of NMCB 4, asked the Seabees during an
address to the battalion at the conclusion
of the exercise. “Every event [NCG 1] has
thrown at us you guys knocked out of the
park. You have done a fantastic job, and I
could not be happier or prouder of what
you have accomplished. This battalion was
magnificent.”
Caligagan said that while there is always
something to work on, “we have built a
new baseline for what is a perfect/good
FTX.”
Caligagan said good communication was
the key.
“The Sailors were well informed,” he
said. “From the skipper on down to the
most junior troop, everybody communi-
cated well, which I believe is what made
this a very successful and relatively stress-
free FTX. But the motivation of the troops
is something that you can’t force on them.
It just goes show how motivated, energized
and well-trained the Sailors of NMCB 4
are.”
Kilian told the Seabees they should walk
away from this FTX with a sense of satis-
faction.
“You’ve earned it,” he said.

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
is home to rattlesnakes. If you see one
in the occupied areas, call 911. If you
are out in natural areas and see one,
leave it alone and go a safe distance
around it. You can also call NBVC En-
vironmental at 805-989-3803 to report
it.
Though uncommon, rattlesnake bites
do occur. The first thing to do if bitten
is to stay calm. Generally, the most se-
rious effect of a rattlesnake bite to an
adult is local tissue damage that needs
to be treated.
Get to a doctor as soon as possible,
but stay calm. Frenetic, high-speed
driving places the victim at greater risk
of an accident and increased heart rate.
If the doctor is more than 30 minutes
away, elevate the bite and then try to
get to the doctor as quickly as possi-
ble.
If someone you’re with is bitten by a
poisonous snake, take off constricting
items on the victim, such as rings or
other jewelry, which could cut off blood
flow if the bite area swells. Immobilize
the bitten area and get the victim to a
hospital as quickly as possible. If it will
take several hours before you can trans-
port the victim, you may do the follow-
ing procedures:
Gently rinse the bitten area with soap
and water and pat or air dry. If the bite
is on an extremity, wrap a wide constric-
tion bandage — not a tourniquet — two
to four inches upstream of the bitten
area so long as the pressure is not too
tight; one or two fingers should be able
to slide under the band. The goal is to
slow surface blood flow, not stop arte-
rial blood flow. Stopping blood flow to
a limb will result in the loss of the
limb.
Cutting and suctioning the bite area
or use of a venom extractor should
never be used. A 2004 study of mock
venom extraction using a suction device
questioned the validity of venom ex-
tractors and suggested that their use is
unlikely to be effective.
Ice or cooling packs should never be
applied to the area as these may result
in greater harm. Do not use alcohol.
Alcohol may deaden the pain, but it
also makes the local blood vessels big-
ger, which can increase venom absorp-
tion.
Most importantly, any victim of a
venomous snake bite should be evalu-
ated in an emergency medical care facil-
ity as soon as possible.
And remember: The only good snake
is one that is alive and well. Snakes,
even rattlesnakes, provide humans with
a tremendous service: They eat rodents,
other reptiles and insects and are in
turn eaten by other predators.

Rattlesnakes are out: What to do if one bites
• Myth: Baby rattlesnakes are dead-
lier than the adults.
• Fact: Baby rattlesnake venom has
the same concentration and formula-
tion as the venomin adults. The truth
is it doesn’t take very much venom to
create a full reaction in an adult hu-
man. So even the smaller amount
injected by a young rattlesnake will
cause a full reaction, giving people
the impression they must be more
deadly.
• Myth: Rattlesnakes can control
the amount of venom they inject.
• Fact: Rattlesnakes have a complex
system for injecting venom. It is
shown that when they strike a prey
species for food, more venom is in-
jected than when they strike in de-
fense. There are some studies that
show the position of the fangs (fully
extended or partially retracted) play
a role in the flow of venom. The
muscles that surround the venom
gland will force venomout, but it does
not appear to be the case that the
rattlesnake makes a conscious, pre-
meditated decision as to the amount
it plans on injecting.
• Myth: Rattlesnakes can jump.
• Fact: Rattlesnakes, when fully
coiled (like a hose) can strike half the
total length of their body. For ex-
ample, a striking distance for a 3-foot
rattlesnake (the most common size
seen in this area, regardless of the
“big fish” stories) can only strike 1.5
feet away. The lower half of the body
will propel the upper half forward in
a full strike. However, the lower half
of the body never leaves the ground.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
If you have some free time on your
hands and would like to give a little
“something back,” feel free to come on
over to the Fleet & Family Support Cen-
ter (FFSC) and see about becoming one
of our valued Retired Activities Office
(RAO) volunteers.
This is a great opportunity to work in
the heart of the primary support center
for Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
personnel and their families.
The RAO is fully staffed by an all-
volunteer team of retired military per-
sonnel who still have more to offer their
fellow patriots. With a dedicated team
of volunteers, we have established a
critical component for assisting local
retirees and their spouses — sometimes
during their most sensitive times. You
might be surprised how much of an im-
pact you could have on someone who
might be at their most vulnerable.
Once you decide to take the next step,
come on over and fill out the paperwork.
After a basic background check and an
interview with the center director, you
can start your training process. Once you
have a couple of meetings with the RAO
manager under your belt and you have
gone over office procedures and policies,
you’ll be ready to sign up for the “watch
bill.” The great thing is that you get to
select your times and days. It is obvi-
ously a first come, first served type of
thing, and you can donate as much or
as little time as you wish.
If you were fortunate to be a part of
the March 29 NBVC Retiree Town Hall
event, you witnessed the sheer energy
felt by all of the attendees, as well as the
numerous vendors. The feedback was
overwhelmingly positive, and people
were extremely grateful for the festive
event.
If you decide to become a part of the
RAO team, you could play a critical part
in planning next year’s gala! If you have
any questions on how to proceed with
volunteering, or if you have any ques-
tions about services offered by the RAO,
please call 805-982-1023. We look for-
ward to hearing from you and welcom-
ing you to the team!

and Family Life supervisor at the Fleet &

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Are you and your partner fighting about
how to discipline your child? This is ex-
tremely common.
Even at birth, children can reduce mar-
ital satisfaction. As children grow up,
parents face new challenges that can im-
pact even the strongest of couples. Differ-
ences in parenting styles can lead one
parent to view the other as “harsh,” and
this can result in the other parent becom-
ing too lenient.
Some individuals parent this way out
of a desire to be “liked”or to avoid upset-
ting their children. Unfortunately, this can
lead to a wide gap in the parenting system
and family conflict.
The conflict worsens when children
learn whom they can turn to in order to
get their way — a technique called “split-
ting.” A common example of this is the
child who asks one parent for a cookie
before dinner. The parent says no, so the
child asks the other parent, who says yes.
This not only undermines the authority
of the first parent who is trying to set a
firm limit, but it can also lead to future
misbehavior on the child’s part.
Here are some ways to avoid this:
• Have open and ongoing communica-
tion with your partner. Discuss and prob-
lem-solve areas of ongoing conflict before
they arise again. Talk about the goals you
want for your children, and revisit them
often. This will help both parents stay on
track towards the bigger picture.
• Be clear about your expectations, and
communicate them with your children.
Posting rules can limit conflict. For ex-
ample, if a rule is “No dessert before din-
ner,” consistently follow it, and help the
child learn compliance.
• Maintain a united parental front, and
support one another. Tell your children
that you need to talk something over with
the other parent first before making deci-
sions.
• Never disagree on parenting matters
in front of the child. This can undermine
parental authority.
Employing these simple tips can help
keep harmony in the home and reduce
later childhood misbehavior.

Sailors from Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) volunteered to par-
ticipate in Mud Crazy’s annual 5K and
10K runs at Mission Oaks Park in Ca-
marillo to support runners’ safety and
strengthen fatigued spirits with en-
couragement Saturday, May 10.
The 23 volunteers were spread
throughout the course passing out wa-
ter, ensuring obstacle safety and direct-
ing participants where to go while
cheering them on.
“I’ve been volunteering for awhile
now to be a part of the community, to
give back and to have fun,” said Steel-
worker 2nd Class Troy Franklin of
Naval Construction Group (NCG) 1.
“I’m pretty impressed with the turnout
of volunteers when we have anywhere
from 20 to 30 Seabees. Some events we
have up to 100 people volunteering.”
Franklin gave out water during the
event.
“Volunteering for the mud run is
definitely a fun experience, so maybe
next year we can get more people to
come,” he said.
“I’m enjoying this event and hon-
estly wished I could’ve participated in
the run,” said Yeoman 2nd Class Sher-
ri Batson of NBVC. “I feel like it’s
important for the Navy to volunteer
for things like this where physical fit-
ness is being encouraged.”
Batson shouted words of encourage-
ment by the mud pit obstacle, where
runners had to low-crawl through the
thick mud after running two and a half
miles. Other Seabee volunteers refilled
the mud pit with water for runner
safety.
“They were absolutely fantastic,” Jim
Passantino, Mud Crazy organizer, said
of the Seabees. “I can only hope that
they can help us out every year. You
don’t really have to elaborate to a Sea-
bee on what gets done. You tell them
one thing, they understand and make
sure it gets done the right way. They
are the perfect volunteers.”
Mud Crazy was created five years
ago as a way to get people out of the
house and spend time with others while
improving their physical fitness.
The growing organization also ben-
efits the Thousand Oaks Teen Center
and supports youth scholarship pro-
grams.

NAVFAC EXWC
The Naval Facilities Engineering
and Expeditionary Warfare Center
(NAVFAC EXWC) shipped a Super
Energy Efficient Containerized Living
Unit (SuperCLU) to Anderson Air
Force Base, Guam, April 30.
SuperCLU is an advanced portable
shelter designed to be configured as
needed to support a wide variety of
field operations. This unit will be part
of the annual Transformative Reduc-
tions in Operational Energy Con-
sumption (TROPEC) exercise coordi-
nated by the Navy, Army and Air
Force.
“The SuperCLU and the advanced
technology it utilizes are vital to pro-
viding direct support to our warfight-
ers in all theaters and climate condi-
tions worldwide,” said Capt. Mark K.
Edelson, NAVFAC EXWC command-
ing officer. “During this deployment,
the unit will be field tested under
tropical conditions, achieving energy
savings to the fleet while providing
basic shelter and mobile command
facilities to our armed forces.”
The unit was originally designed to
support energy and sustainability
work at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti.
Modified environmental control units
within existing CLUs were a signifi-
cant part of that effort.
The Super CLUs save thousands in
energy usage, increase living space
and privacy for individuals, reduce
noise and allow more personnel to be
comfortably housed in a given unit
than current CLU configurations.
The deployed unit will be utilized
as a control center and tested for long-
term interior climate control and en-
ergy efficiency in hot, humid loca-
tions. It will be outfitted with a meter
to record interior conditions (tem-
perature, relative humidity and carbon
dioxide) and a second meter to record
total energy used.
The joint services will test a variety
of shelters, lighting and environmen-
tal control units for improved energy
efficiency during the exercise, which
runs through August.

eme.

is May 28,” said Kevin Ludwig, athletics
manager for Morale, Welfare and Recre-
ation (MWR). “There is no online regis-
tration this year.”
The Admiral’s Cup starts at 8 a.m. Sat-
urday, May 31, at Family Beach at NBVC
Point Mugu. It will be followed at 10 a.m.
by the Armed Forces Triathlon Champi-
onship (AFTC), in which the best male
and female triathletes in the Army, Marine
Corps, Air Force and combined Navy and
Coast Guard compete.
The Admiral’s Cup is open only to those
with base access. It is a sprint triathlon,
with a 400-meter (quarter-mile) ocean
swim, a 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) bike ride
in which drafting is illegal, and a 5-km
(3.1-mile) run. Relay teams are allowed.
Cost is $30 for active duty military per-
sonnel, their dependents and retirees; $40
for Department of Defense civilians and
contractors; and $50 for guests.
Photo IDs will be checked the day of
the race.
Prizes will be given in the following age
categories: 18 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50
to 59, and 60 and older.
The AFTCis an Olympic triathlon with
a 1,500-meter (nearly one-mile) ocean
swim, 40-km (24.8-mile) draft-legal bike
ride and a 10-km (6.2-mile) run.
This year’s rosters list some familiar
names, including last year’s first-place
finishers, Army Capt. Nick Sterghos and
Air Force 2nd Lt. Samantha Morrison.
Army Capt. Nick Vandam, who edged out
Sterghos the year before and did not race
last year because he was deployed, is
scheduled to compete again this year.
This is the 15th year the base has host-
ed the AFTC.
“This is a beautiful place to have a tri,”
Ludwig said. “It’s in a protected sea and
wildlife area, so there are lots of seals,
dolphins and sea lions the participants
may get to see.”

NOSC Ventura County
Navy Counselor 1st Class Stanita Bur-
ton has been named Sailor of the Year
(SOY) by Navy Operational Support Cen-
ter (NOSC) Ventura County.
“This is well-deserved recognition for
an outstanding performer,” said Capt.
Ronald Oswald, commanding officer,
NOSCVentura County. “Her passion and
dedication for helping Sailors manage
their careers is evident in everything she
does. I commend her on personal com-
mitment and complete dedication to our
mission. Her personal excellence in the
execution of her duties and responsibilities
in career development is what separated
her from an extremely keen and competi-
tive field.”
Burton called the recognition “a great
honor.”
“I cannot truly claim this great accom-
plishment without acknowledging the as-
sistance from my assistant career coun-
selor, Aviation Electronics Technician 1st
Class Christina Tan, my fellowfirst class-
es, chief’s mess and all of my wonderful
unit career counselors,” Burton said. “I
feel a personal responsibility to them, my-
self and the command to hold myself to
even higher standards.”
She also acknowledged her husband,
Larry Burton Jr., and children, Zaria,
Jasmine and DeAshawn, “for always sup-
porting and being there for me regardless
of whether or not mommy is having a ‘bad
day.’ I genuinely thank and appreciate
them,” Burton said.
NOSC Ventura County Command
Master Chief Tom Lintz views the Sailor
of the Year as a success story.
“When I hear Sailor of the Year I think
professionalism,”said Lintz. “A Sailor of
the Year is the model for others to emu-
late.”
He said a career counselor provides
guidance and the tools to succeed.
“What separates Navy Counselor 1st
Class Burton from most other NCs is her
passion to put Sailors first and help guide
them in their careers,” he said. “She fo-
cuses on the career needs of every Sailor.
She understands the major responsibility
she has impacting not just Sailors and
their careers, but also the effect it has on
their families.”
NOSC Ventura County, located at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme, conducts training, administra-
tion and execution of Navy Reserve pol-
icy for approximately 1,200 Selected Re-
serve Sailors in 39 administratively
assigned Reserve Units.

“They were really comforting,” he said.
“They called the base police. All I could
do was bawl.”
It wasn’t long before base security found
Bailey and brought her to the fire sta-
tion.
“The police came in carrying that
squirming little bundle and all I could do
was cry more,” he said. “It was an unbe-
lievable feeling.”
Peters thought about buying everyone
pies from Coco’s as a way to show his
appreciation, but he decided that writing
a letter to The Lighthouse was a better
idea.
“I figured we’re all trying to watch our
weight,” he said with a chuckle.
So he sat down at his keyboard and
wrote a note, closing with, “I just want
to say to both the Mugu Fire Personnel
and Base Police THANK YOU, I am so
very grateful.”
Bailey is actually Peters’ therapy dog,
prescribed by his psychiatrist, whom he
sees along with a psychologist.
“I’m still having a difficult time,” he
explained.
His late wife, Freida, had been a con-
stant companion for the past two decades.
They were making up for all the time lost
earlier, when Peters was busy with a 20-
year career in the Navy, then worked on
aircraft carriers in aviation supply.
“I was gone a lot,” he recalls. “My wife
raised our four girls and our son. Having
lost a daughter she went through a lot.”
After another 18 years working for the
city of Ventura, Peters finally retired, and
he and Freida began traveling together.
At first, they took off across the United
States, driving during the day, staying in
hotels at night. They did that for two
months, going all the way to Canada and
the North Atlantic coast.
Then they got more adventurous. They
traveled to Germany and Sweden, then
China and Hong Kong. They went to
Mexico. Their favorite was Australia.
“We were blessed to have seen much of
the world,” Peters says.
And then Freida got sick. Peters cared
for her for more than a year, helpless as
she withered down to 75 pounds. When
she died, part of Peters went with her.
Bailey brought some of that back.
“She’s been so good for me,” he said as
he scratched the pup’s ears. “She’s really
a dear. I don’t feel so alone.”
Bailey has coaxed Peters out of his
home, out on walks, into town. They of-
ten have coffee at a downtown Ventura
café, where Peters has made some
friends.
“That’s very, very good,” he admits.
He enjoys visiting the base and meeting
today’s Sailors.
“They’re very nice chaps and ladies,”
he says. “They’re very polite, they open
doors for you — and in my generation,
that was important. Their parents can be
proud.”
He recently met Cheryl Cumming, a
friend of his daughter’s, and she comes
by a few times a week to cook and help
him clean.
He visits a friend in Camarillo, a man
who became disabled in World War II and
has used a wheelchair ever since. Peters
puts the wheelchair in the back of his
truck and they go to breakfast, sometimes
lunch.
He has another friend who’s 90 and
whose wife has Alzheimer’s.
All that helps him keep his perspec-
tive.
“I feel good that I’mup and about, that
I can get up and make my bed,” he says.
“And it helps when I can do something
for somebody else.”
Including Bailey.
“She gives me something to get up for
and take care of,”he explained. “My fam-
ily asks me, ‘Who rescued whom?’ I think
that’s very sweet.”

Base personnel find therapy dog, reunite her with 86-year-old owner
after the grand reopening.
“It looks awesome,” he said. “This
will get more people to hang out here,
and it provides a real sense of commu-
nity for the base.”
At the ribbon-cutting, Vasquez ac-
knowledged the different teams that
made the project possible.
“My only regret is that I’m not
dressed in golfing attire,” he said. “I’m
anxious to get inside and have a bite to
eat and maybe have a cup of coffee.”
The renovation included tearing out
a dining room partition. The wall be-
tween the dining area and the pro shop
was decorated with rockwork, and an
80-inch TV screen now hangs there,
above a faux fireplace. Easy chairs are
set up around small coffee tables that
match the rockwork decor.
The bar area has been divided into a
small serving area with four beers on
tap and another bar seating area that
can accommodate up to 12 people.
All counters are now granite style, the
floors are porcelain tile and the walls
have been retextured and repainted.
The ATM machine has been moved
to a less conspicuous spot — it used to
be the first thing people saw when they
walked in — and a wooden trophy case
has been built into a wall in the entry-
way.
Total cost of the renovation was
$150,000, MWR officials said.
Golfers having lunch the first day the
clubhouse reopened said they were
pleased and impressed with the chang-
es.
“I think it looks great,” said Rick
Schnapka of Thousand Oaks, who’s
been using the Seabee Golf Course for
about two years. “The food selection is
10 times better than before.”
He and his dining companions, Rog-
er Marcum of Port Hueneme and Bob
Gaffuri of Camarillo, agreed the reno-
vations would be a big draw for the
course — if golfers could get on base.
“I’ve got a friend in Simi Valley who
wants to come play here, but he’s given
up,” Gaffuri said. “He’s been waiting
more than five months for a pass to get
on base.”
The clubhouse is open daily from
dawn to dusk, with food served every
day from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

vices, call the 19th Hole Grill at 805-
982-5293.

Civilians who want to golf at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme’s
Seabee Golf Course need to obtain a Ci-
vilian Golf Pass before they can come on
base.
To obtain a pass request, call the Pro
Shop at 805-982-2620.
The pass requires a background clear-
ance check initiated by the Navy’s Force
Protection agency. The personnel who
conduct these checks also perform back-
ground checks on every civilian requesting
base access for any event on 10 facilities
in the Southwest Region, including youth
baseball games, retirement dinners, wed-
dings and bowling leagues.
“Depending on howbusy they are, there
can be a wait,” said Efren Bautista, golf
shop assistant. “But it is for everyone’s
safety.”
He stressed that the wait is worth it: A
three-hour round is typical, it’s a flat
course that many like to walk, and there’s
a country club-like feel to the facilities,
given that special access is required.
Around of golf costs $9 to $35 depend-
ing on the day of the week, military status
and specials being offered.

Ney Award goes to Point Mugu galley for the first time
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus an-
nounced the 2014 winners of the Navy
Capt. Edward F. Ney Memorial Awards
for outstanding food service April 29.
NBVC Point Mugu took first place in the
Small General Mess category. The runner-
up was Naval Air Station Oceana in Vir-
ginia.
This is the first time the Point Mugu gal-
ley has won the Ney Award; it was a run-
ner-up in 1998. The galley at NBVC Port
Hueneme won in 2011.
Chief Culinary Specialist Elizabeth
Scott, the leading chief petty officer of the
galley, credited the hard work and dedica-
tion of the 22 military personnel and 13
civilians who work at the galley, serving
250 to 300 people each day.
“I’m so thankful it happened under my
watch,” she said.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Rodel Rosales
said the departmental leading chief petty
officer, Senior Chief Culinary Specialist
Napoleon Miranda, and the rest of the
military’s food services team pulled to-
gether to win the award.
“We did put together all our experi-
ences and used it to our advantage in
preparation for this inspection,” he said.
“We also would like to credit our civilian
counterparts, all the food service contract
personnel and some of our barrack mili-
tary personnel from both Port Hueneme
and Mugu who volunteered extra hours
to help clean the entire galley area for sev-
eral days prior tothe inspection. The Mugu
galley personnel worked extra hard due to
the fact that they continued to prepare and
serve the food the entire day to around 250
to 300 personnel and continued to clean
in between meal hours.”
The crewin the Point Mugu galley rang-
es fromthe Navy’s newest culinary special-
ists to civilians with decades of experience.
Bev Ragan has worked at the Point Mugu
galley since Thanksgiving Day 1971, when
she helped serve 789 meals, the busiest day
she ever worked.
While many items are popular, Scott
said, the galley is known for its soups and
desserts.
“It depends on the season,” she said,
“but those two categories always get a lot
of compliments.”
The Chicken and Sausage Gumbo is
especially popular.
When asked if there was anything that
didn’t work, she answered immediately.
“Egg Drop Soup,”she replied. “We took
that off the menu a long time ago. It didn’t
do anything it was supposed to do.”
She said the key to a good galley is mak-
ing sure Sailors — many of whom are far
from home — have plenty of comfort
food.
“We try to make them feel like this is
home,” she said.
Scott’s favorite meal isn’t something
that’s served by the galley. Anative of Ha-
waii, she’s partial to a pig that’s been
cooked in the ground and poi, cooked taro
root.
“Poi with eggs is the best,”she said. “But
I’ve got to go all the way to West Covina
to get it — either that or bring it home
from Hawaii.”
So instead she settles for her second fa-
vorite: the turkey meal — roasted turkey,
mashed potatoes, green beans and all the
sides.
“Whenever we make that, everyone
knows it needs to be perfect because Chief
is going to eat it,” she said with a laugh.
Judging for the Ney Award began at the
first of the year. Inspectors visited the gal-
ley and looked at everything from sanita-
tion to color schemes in the dining room.
“The temperature of the food, financial
records, service, landscaping —they looked
at everything,” Scott said.
She called it a “roof to tile” inspection.
Scott had plenty of practice to help pre-
pare her crewfor the big inspection. In her
15 years in the Navy, she’s worked both
ends of the Navy galley spectrum — from
the seven galleys on an aircraft carrier that
feed 5,000 people each day to the flag mess
that serves admirals and visiting dignitaries
— and she learned from both.
She’s found that her work on an aircraft
carrier and her East Coast assignments
have come in handy on what she feels is a
“more relaxed and calm” West Coast.
“I think when you’ve been on the East
Coast, you get pushy,” she said. “You like
to get things done. You’re always on the
go, go, go, and everyone says, ‘Slowdown,
it’s OK.’ But I’mnot gonna change. That’s
the way I operate.”
Her work in the flag mess did teach her
to harness some of that speed and take the
time to add some personal flair.
“Working a flag mess, you become very
competitive,” she said. “You want to do
things on a higher scale. You really focus
on enhancement and garnishment, seeing
what you can do to make yours look better
than everyone else’s. You put your talent
out there.”
She took those lessons and applied them
to the Mugu galley, motivating her team
and helping them push harder. It paid
off.
“These guys busted their butts for some-
thing prestigious,”she said. “We needed to
strive for excellence, and we achieved it.”

CS2 Shielamarie Cabunoc gets freshly baked cookies ready for the lunch line at the Point
Mugu galley.
Bev Ragan pulls items out of the refrigerator
for the salad bar. Her first day at the Point
Mugu galley was Thanksgiving Day 1971,
when she helped serve 789 meals, her
busiest day ever.
The culinary specialists at Naval
Base Ventura County are showing off
their skills Thursday, May 22, with a
special Memorial Day meal.
Members of the military and their
dependents are welcome. The meal is
not open to civilians.
The galley will be serving crab legs
and prime rib, New England clam
chowder, corn on the cob, baked po-
tato, rice pilaf, grilled asparagus,
mushrooms and onions, rolls and as-
sorted desserts.
Lunch will be served from 11 a.m.
to 12:45 p.m. at both the NBVC Port
Hueneme and NBVC Point Mugu
galleys. Cost is $4.65.
