Last year, firefighters at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC)
San Nicolas Island moved into
their newly renovated firehouse;
it was the first time in 15 years
they’d been able to live and work
in the same space.
Thanks to a $3.3 million reno-
vation project, the old “crash”
station — located near the air-
field to respond quickly to air-
craft emergencies — is now a
traditional firehouse. Personnel
live, eat, work and sleep in the
same space, just as they would in
a mainland station off base.
“The old station didn’t have
much of anything,”said fire Cap-
tain Bill Densing. “We couldn’t
live in it, so we stayed in [motel-

The spring Retired Activities Office Town Hall at the
Bee Hive Gymon March 29 was a big success! The turn-
out was great, double the attendance of our fall event, and
everyone’s enthusiasmand engagement was inspiring.
I had the privilege of addressing those in attendance
and provided a brief on current and future missions at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC). I also took questions
and concerns, which is really the heart of any outreach
event.
You asked about commissaries and rumored closures.
Commissaries are important to our families, although
in today’s tight fiscal environment, everything is up for
scrutiny. We’ve got one of the best commissaries I’ve seen,
and the staff here is responsive and proactive. If you have
suggestions or would like to see special products, let the
commissary manager know!
Some of you asked about the base post offices, both of
which have closed since my arrival here two years ago.
The closures were the decision of the U.S. Postal Service
and not actions I could prevent, although I understand
your concern. Luckily, there are options in town, and there
are still blue drop-off boxes at NBVCPort Hueneme and
Point Mugu. Both boxes have regularly scheduled pick-ups
for your convenience.
I also received a question regarding pricing for Morale,
Welfare and Recreation (MWR) events, specifically the
Rose Bowl Parade trip, which the requestor felt was priced
too high based on deals he found out in town. MWR deals
are often better than anything you’ll find in town. Some-
times, though, businesses have offers that just can’t be beat
—maybe they’re taking a loss, maybe they have a sponsor.
While I don’t knowall the specifics of this event, MWR
does a great job of supporting our Sailors and families. I
encourage you to shop around and compare prices. If we
can do better, in many cases we will. The NEX has a price
matching policy that some of you may be unaware of. Take
advantage of it and shop at “your” store! Bottomline, we
are here to serve you! Keep us honest.
Thank you again to everyone who came out for the Re-
tiree Town Hall. Keep an eye out for the next one this fall!

Military spouses can get a well-de-
served pampering Thursday, May 8, as
the Fleet & Family Support Center hosts
a Military Spouse Appreciation event
in the Bee Hive Gym at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., spouses can
get their hair styled and their makeup
done, then get their photo taken in a
photo booth. There will be a fashion
show, refreshments and door prizes.
“We know the most important person
is the spouse because that person is the
glue that holds the military family to-
gether,” said Laura Hanson, the domes-
tic abuse victim advocate for the base
and one of the organizers of the
event.
Children’s activities will be available,
and tables will be set up where families

High gusty winds that swept through Southern California last week uprooted this tree next to the barracks at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Point Mugu. The shallow root system of the eucalyptus didn’t serve it well in winds that were clocked at 40 mph. The tree was
removed the next day.

Sailors and civilians stationed at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) San Nico-
las Island (SNI) are enjoying the comforts
of home thanks to an upgraded theater
and brand-new Ship’s Store in Nictown,
the island’s main living area.
After a $2.29 million renovation, Build-
ing 151 at SNI reopened April 9 as the
home to the expanded Ship’s Store. The
building also houses a 24-hour Morale,
Welfare & Recreation (MWR) Liberty
Center and the movie theater, which
opened April 23 with a showing of “Mon-
uments Men.” A barbershop will soon
open as well, located between the lounge
and Ship’s Store.
“This location is so much better than
what we had before,” said Seaman Cam-
eron Compton, who helps operate the
Ship’s Store. “It’s much closer to our living
spaces, and people can walk over.”
The new Ship’s Store space is also 60
percent larger than the previous location.
The added space and dedicated storage
capacity is a blessing for the Sailors run-
ning the store; they used to share with the
bowling alley on the island, and it could
get really cramped.
“It’s great to have something to call our

As part of a week of Earth Day activities, tenants from all over Naval Base Ventura
County pitched in for a base clean-up event Friday, April 25. Even Capt. Larry Vasquez,
NBVC’s commanding officer, right, and Command Master Chief Percy Trent donned
protective gloves and made the rounds, gathering everything from candy wrappers to
an old pizza box in the area surrounding Bldg. 1 and Navy Gateway Inn & Suites along
6th and 7th streets at NBVC Point Mugu. The week also included a metal recycling
event that brought in 12,371 pounds — more than 6 tons — of recyclable material.

The Naval Construction Training Center
(NCTC) at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme held its first an-
nual Earth Day celebration Tuesday, April
22, and more than 200 staff and students
attended.
“NCTC took some time to commemo-
rate Earth Day by educating our staff and
students on the importance of our indi-
vidual actions to achieve a larger effect,”
saidCmdr. Daniel W. Cook, the command-
ing officer at NCTC. “Making personal
commitments, planting a xeriscape garden
and learning about environmentally friend-
ly products and initiatives are all great ways
to support our Navy’s commitment to re-
sponsible environmental stewardship.”
As part of the Earth Day activities,
NCTC staff and students made personal
pledges to try to improve the environment
and posted themon a “Pledge Tree.”They
then had a chance to win one of the “en-
vironmentally green” prizes, including
Earth Day T-shirts, reusable tote bags,
plants to “green” their work areas, water
bottles and a Frisbee made from 100 per-
cent recycled materials.
In addition, Navy and Air Force con-
struction mechanic students planted low
water-use vegetationat the commandhead-
quarters building.

Sometimes when technology fails, ev-
eryone wins.
That’s what happened at Laguna Vista
Elementary School near Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu when
Martin Ruane arrived for an Earth Day
talk with first-graders.
The natural resources manager for the
Environmental Division at NBVC had a
computerized presentation about the wild
animals that live on base and what the
Navy does to help protect them — but no
one could get the computer to work.
So Ruane winged it.
Out came the pelican skull and the hawk
talons and the owl feather and the goose
eggs — and 75 first-graders had a field
day guessing what the specimens were and
what role the animals have in the ecosys-
tem.
They also learned how they can help
protect the many species that live on the
base, even by doing something as simple
as putting their garbage into a trash
can.
Ruane showed a photo of a dead bird,
string wrapped around its neck.
Over the “Aaaaws,” and the “Oh, that’s
so sad” comments, Ruane posed a ques-
tion: “So, the next time you have a birth-
day party, are you just going to let your
balloon float away? Because if you do, this
is what can happen.”
Reaching into what he called his “trea-
sure box,” Ruane pulled out the skull of
an elephant seal.
“Look at those incisors!” he said to the
fascinated students.
The snakeskin drew some “Eeeews.”
“A lot of people don’t like snakes,” Ru-
ane said. “But I think snakes are cool.
They mind their own business. They eat
mice.”
He showed a photo of the endangered
least tern, which nests on NBVC’s beach-
es.
“My job is to make sure their numbers
go up so your children can see them too,”
he explained.
At the end of his presentation, he put
all the specimens onto the stage in the
cafeteria so the youngsters could get a
close-up look and even touch themif they
wanted to.
“This hands-on portion is the best,”said
first-grade teacher Susan Press. “These
kids are very enthusiastic. They’re getting
to see everything.”
Ruane, the father of an 8-year-old, said
he was comfortable with his off-the-cuff
presentation.
“This is a good age,”he said of the first-
graders. “They’re interested in wildlife, and
they’re learning howto respect wildlife and
what they can do to help the environment
— the little things they can do to make a
difference. They’re learning that every-
thing’s important in the scheme of things.
It’s definitely a fun age.”

Summertime may mean vacation time
for some families, but for many military
families it also means moving time.
Many families with school-age chil-
dren do their best to plan their PCS
move during the summer to alleviate
some of the stress of transitioning dur-
ing the school year. However, a summer
relocation does not necessarily equate
to a stress-free move.
When considering children and teens,
moves are difficult no matter what time
of year they are made. Before the school
year ends, there are a few things to con-
sider that might make the move a bit
easier.
Most important is honest and open
communication. No one, including a
child, wants to be surprised with a move.
Understandably, exact dates may not be
available. However, most children will
appreciate knowing that a move is in the
near future and that they may not be
returning to their current school in the
fall.
Encourage children to share contact
information with their friends as the
school year winds down. There are so
many opportunities for children to stay
in contact with one another. Depending
on the age of the child, letters, phone
calls, texts or social media can provide
communication that will make your child
feel a sense of comfort communicating
with someone familiar, even when they
are in a new place.
It is also important for parents to let
the school know that a student will not
be returning. If a parent does not no-
tify the school, the school will not know
until the child does not show the first
week of school or when the new school
requests transcripts — often once the
school year has begun. Schools plan
classes and student placement based on
the number of children they expect to
return. It is best for all students if the
school knows your child will not be re-
turning.
Parents, do not pack birth certificates,
immunization records or final report
cards. The new school will require these
documents for your child to enroll, and
you may want to enroll your students
before your household goods arrive.
Also, if a student is receiving special
education services, parents should have
copies of the Individualized Education
Plan (IEP) on hand.
Research schools and neighborhoods
before deciding on housing. Every Navy
installation has a school liaison officer
(SLO). Call your local SLO to get the
contact information for the SLO at your
new installation, who can in turn give
you information about school choice in
the area, registration and youth servic-
es.
As comfortable as parents would like
to make their children feel about a move,
sometimes hearing or reading about it
from the perspective of another child
helps. The Department of Defense has
created a website, Military Youth on the
Move, that reaches out to youth with
creative ways to cope with issues that
arise in the face of a move, such as tran-
sitioning to a new school, saying good-
bye to friends and getting involved in a
newcommunity. Each page contains age-
specific advice on a given topic, answers
to common questions, and helpful links
for additional information and guidance.
The site is filled with bright colors, pho-
tographs and quotes from other youth
to make the site friendly and engaging.

If ESPN did a special on the top 10
plays of the Old Testament, undoubt-
edly Israel’s miraculous crossing of the
Red Sea would rank No. 1.
Imagine a triune God collaborating in
some form of heavenly “ready room” to
prepare the largest emancipation of peo-
ple in world history. The discussion would
sound like:
1) Have Moses halt at the edge of the
Red Sea, as the oppressors advance on
their position, thereby sufficiently scaring
the hummus out of Israel;
2) Try not to laugh as Moses explains
that his fire plan consists of a single
staff;
3) Boom! An unexpected turn of events
leads to a game-winning touchdown!
Moses raises his staff — waters part and
an angelic choir chimes in the background
— as Israel is double timing on dry
ground next to leviathan fossils, walls of
water rippling around them.
4) On the other side, the enemy tries to
pursue, only to get squashed by billions
of PSI of water coming in from both
sides.
5) An eerie quiet echoes as every He-
brew chin touches sand, and then some-
one shouts “Mozel Tov!” And all of Is-
rael is high-fiving each other and
dancing.
As exciting as this moment must have
been, it would not be long before Israel
tasted failure.
The post-liberated nation needed a new
form of government to complete their
faith journey to the Promised Land. Ac-
quiring such required the discipline to
painstakingly camp 40 days and 40 nights
at the base of Mount Sinai while Moses
received their 613 Laws or Torah, includ-
ing the Ten Commandments.
The next scene certainly makes ESPN’s
NOT Top 10. Here Israel fumbled the
ball collectively. Instead of patiently wait-
ing for guidance, they manufactured
idols, broke out in singing, dancing and
indulged “in revelry,” which connotes
various forms of debauchery (Exodus
32:6). Moses journeyed down the moun-
tain expecting to organize his command,
only to find the most appalling disaster
of unit discipline a commanding officer
could imagine. End result: The Ten Com-
mandments were shattered in anger, and
the faith journey ground to a halt.
Observe the lesson at this juncture in
the faith journey. Liberation does not
reach completion until a new government
is in place. This process resembles Amer-
ican history as well: Shortly after winning
the Revolutionary War, our founders
wrote the Constitution to complete the
formation of our new government.
It is amazing to experience God’s vic-
tories in our life, but that’s just the begin-
ning. To truly get the maximum benefit
of a relationship with our Father, one
needs the discipline to learn his word and
allow his teachings to form their govern-
ment in order to reach the Promised
Land.

part in a 5Krun and walk Thursday, April
24, to benefit the Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society.
The event was organized by Construc-
tionMechanic 1st Class MatthewRamirez,
president of the First and Second Class
Petty Officers Association at the Naval
Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary
Warfare Command.
“I looked at web sites for ideas on what
we could do and brainstormed with the
association, and we decided this event
would bring the most attention to the so-
ciety and what it does,”Ramirez said. “We
pointed out to people that if they had
some spare change, the society could use
it.”
The run raised more than $400 for the
organization.

When a Navy jet coming in for a landing
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu has an engine go out, Fed Fire
rolls.
When two cars collide in the early-morn-
ing hours on the Pacific Coast Highway
near Mugu Rock, or when a grease fire
flares up in a Port Hueneme home, it’s Fed
Fire that responds.
When there’s a shipboard emergency on
a Navy vessel visiting the Port of Huen-
eme, Fed Fire goes out.
And when a roaring brush fire threatens
a barn containing 130 different kinds of
agricultural chemicals, it’s Fed Fire that
figures out what to do.
There’s a reason Fire Chief John T. Ad-
kins Jr. was named the supervisory Civil-
ian of the Year for Navy Region Southwest
for 2013. Last year, in the middle of bud-
get cuts and sequestration, he coordinated
the efforts of 78 full-time Federal Fire
personnel on all of the above scenarios
— plus more than 1,800 other calls for
emergency service, including 49 fires, one
of which threatened millions of dollars of
electronic equipment on Laguna Peak and
forced a partial evacuation of Point Mugu
base housing.
In between all that came fire inspections,
fire drills, training seminars and public
safety presentations.
“This is a very unique base,” says Ad-
kins, pointing out that his team is respon-
sible for a deep-water port, two airports,
an island and environmentally sensitive
wetlands.
In the past year, Adkins’ first responders
have taken on a new role: They’re being
trained to enter crime scenes and provide
life-saving tourniquets and compresses to
victims of mass shootings — even when
the perpetrator hasn’t been apprehended.
As a result, they’re learning how to work
in bulletproof vests and Kevlar helmets.
All the while, Adkins and his team are
figuring out how they can do their jobs
more safely and more efficiently — and
save money at the same time.
“The last couple of years have been
tough financially for Fire,” Adkins said.
“We can’t leave firefighter positions vacant
— we have to pay overtime. And that
makes us very expensive.”
That hasn’t stopped him from finding
newways to keep his crewsafe: his 19 per-
sonnel on San Nicolas Island (SNI) and
59 others —including training, prevention
and administrative staff —at NBVCPort
Hueneme and NBVC Point Mugu.
“Chief Adkins is genuinely concerned
for the safety and well-being of his em-
ployees and the personnel that live and
work on the installation,” Capt. Larry
Vasquez, commanding officer of NBVC,
wrote in nominating Adkins for the Civil-
ian of the Year Award. “He is constantly
looking for newmethods and technologies
that would increase the department’s ca-
pabilities or enhance the service provid-
ed.”
For $125,000, Adkins bought 150 air
cylinders that allow firefighters to stay in
smoke-filled areas for 45 minutes instead
of 30.
“This not only increased the depart-
ment’s firefighting capabilities, it signifi-
cantly increased the overall safety of all
Fire Department personnel,” Vasquez
wrote.
Adkins also obtained two sets of bat-
tery-operated rescue tools that help extri-
cate victims of car wrecks.
“This tool does not require the use of
heavy pumps or bulky hoses to be attached
prior to use,”Vasquez explained. “It allows
firefighters to immediately begin the ex-
trication process, decreasing rescue time
by as much as 10 minutes. When minutes
can make the difference between life and
death, this tool is invaluable.”
Adkins thinks of his team as part of an
overall firefighting force in Ventura Coun-
ty.
“Oxnard City, Ventura City, Ventura
County — we train together all the time,”
Adkins said. “We know what assets each
of us can bring to the emergency.”
That training paid off when the Springs
Fire broke out at 6:30 a.m. May 2, 2013,
near the Conejo Grade, just off Highway
101 near Thousand Oaks. With hot weath-
er and gusting winds — identical to the
weather experienced this past week — it
didn’t take long for the flames to spread
across the Santa Monica Mountains and
threaten NBVC Point Mugu.
“That’s the kind of stuff we train for,”
Adkins said.

type] housing.”
Densing noted that in 32 years of be-
ing a firefighter, he’d always lived and
worked in the station. The change was
hard to get used to.
“Now it’s great,” added fire Captain
Mark Scantlin. “I love it out here; the
camaraderie is just great. When you
spend a week at a time out here with
people, you really get to know them.”
The new station includes a state-of-
the-art kitchen, sleeping and recreation
spaces and modern facilities. It can ac-
commodate men and women firefighters
now that it has separate restroom and
shower facilities. Over $125,000 in new
equipment rounds out the station’s up-
grades.
One of the biggest challenges for fire-
fighters, who are stationed on the island
for six days at a time, is how to fill the
time, Densing said. Being available 24
hours a day, seven days a week, is a
critical piece of the job, but being on a
remote island like SNI can add special
challenges, particularly when it comes
to staying busy between calls.
“You have to figure out how it’s going
to work for you,” Densing added.
Scantlin and a small group, including
Crystal Rhoden, the first female fire-
fighter permanently assigned to the is-
land, are training for a running compe-
tition. Others work out or take online
classes.
“A lot of times we’ll sit around and
think ‘it would be so great if we had this
other thing.’ But really, the base, MWR
[Morale, Welfare and Recreation] espe-
cially, is always working to make it bet-
ter,” Densing said, noting recent im-
provements at the SNI theater and Ship’s
Store. “How can you not like it?”

NBVCcontributed two full-size engines,
its brand newbrush truck and the hazard-
ous materials unit to the fight. Five ad-
ditional Fed Fire trucks from San Diego
Metro, China Lake, Lemoore and Seal
Beach were also deployed to Point Mugu.
Three Navy H-60 helicopters fromthe San
Diego area joined in, providing 122 suc-
cessful water drops. In the end, 28,000
acres — 300 of them base property —
burned, but firefighters were able to save
millions of dollars worth of telecommu-
nications equipment on Laguna Peak.
Aerial views later revealed how close
flames had come to neighborhoods, but
no homes or human lives were lost.
On the prevention end of the depart-
ment’s spectrum, Fed Fire conducted 993
fire inspections last year and 160 fire
evacuation drills, and it provided fire
safety and public education training to
more than 8,000 personnel.
Last year also witnessed the wrap-up of
a project that was near and dear to Adkins
— something he’s been working on since
he arrived on base six years ago.
“When I arrived at NBVCin April 2008,
the conditions that my folks were working
and living in at SNI were appalling,” Ad-
kins said. “It quickly became my No. 1
priority.”
With the idea of a $20 million new fire
station not going anywhere, Adkins put
his efforts into getting nearly $4 million
for a special project: a renovation of the
existing station on the island.
“That allowed us to upgrade the existing
facility to current standards and signifi-
cantly increase the quality of life for the
firefighters assigned to that station,” Ad-
kins said.
Vasquez noted that Adkins’ efforts al-
lowed the firefighters to “work, eat and
sleep in the fire station for the first time
in 15 years.”
Adkins, 52, became a firefighter 34 years
ago. He grew up in an Air Force family
and graduated fromhigh school in Hawaii,
then traveled to California to visit fami-
ly.
“My cousin and I decided to enlist in
the Air Force,”Adkins recalls. “Firefight-
ing was an option, so I took it.”
He started basic training in October of
1979 and that was it.
“I loved it,” he said.
He’s proud of his crew’s “significant
saves.” Last year, five members of NBVC
Fire were awarded the CNIC“Life Saving
Award” for their quick actions. They per-
formed CPRon someone whose heart had
stopped and were able to bring the man
back to life.
“That was the first time I’d personally
seen that work,”Adkins said. “Many times
it doesn’t.”
There have also been experiences that
he doesn’t like to talk about, like the one
outside an air base in Germany when a
drunk driver slammed into car carrying a
family of five, killing them all.
“That was the most horrific thing I’d
ever seen,” he says, still choking up at the
memory. “To wipe out a whole family
— that’s something I’ll never forget.”
These days, as a fire chief, Adkins spends
more of his time behind a desk, answering
data calls to justify manpower, funding,
vehicle replacements and developing pol-
icy.
“It’s not near as fun as driving fire
trucks, blasting air horns and going into
smoke-filled rooms,” he admits.
About 65 percent of his department’s
responses are to medical emergencies —
and ambulances weren’t even part of Fed
Fire’s fleet until 2005.
“That’s been a big change,” he said.
But some things haven’t changed, like
the fact that firefighters spend half their
lives together in the firehouse.
“This is a unique environment,”he said.
“It’s not your standard eight-hour job. It’s
not uncommon for my folks to work 72,
96 or up to 144 hours straight. They can
get on each other’s nerves. It takes a unique
individual to endure this living environ-
ment.”
His love of his profession has rubbed
off. One of his sons is also a Federal fire-
fighter; another is a supervisor on a natu-
ral gas rig in Texas.
Asked if he could choose any other pro-
fession, Adkins doesn’t hesitate for long.
“Arace-car driver,”he says. “Of course,
I kind of get to do that with this job.”

Students fromthe Architecture,
Construction & Engineering
(ACE) Charter High School’s
robotics teamrecently toured the
Pacific Target & Marine Opera-
tions Division’s (PTMO) aerial
targets facility at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu.
The April 22 tour was a reward
for the team’s hard work and
dedication; the teamcame in 29th
out of 54 teams fromacross Cal-
ifornia in the Sacramento Re-
gional Tournament’s First Robot-
ics Competition and won the
coveted Spirit Award.
The tour was led by Navy en-
gineers Brandon Wahl, Michael
Raider and Emily Jones and by
Lee Cobb, UAVquality assurance
representative for SA-TECH, Inc.
and a member of the ACEParent
Association.
The main focus of the tour was
to introduce the students to the
AQM-37, BQM-34, BQM-74 and
GQM-163 aerial target platforms
that are actively flown and main-
tained at Naval Air Warfare Cen-
ter Weapons Division (NAWC-
WD) Point Mugu, along with the
various current and future capa-
bilities of each target.
The tour ended at the Target
Systems Division’s lab facility,
where the teamwas given the op-
portunity to sit at the controls
and fly a simulated mission with
a virtual BQM-74 aerial target.
“Overall, this trip helped to
showthe students that hard work
and dedication — both in class
and on the robotics team — will
help prepare these ACE students
for the next generation of engi-
neering designs and tasks that
may one day help keep our coun-
try safe, and there’s no better
motivation than that,” ACE
Charter High School Principal
Joe Clausi said.
He accompanied the students
on the tour, as did the robotics
team adviser, LaQuisha Robin-
son.

Fathers and daughters shared some ten-
der moments Saturday, April 26, as the
Family Readiness Group (FRG) for Car-
rier Airborne Early Warning Squadron
(VAW) 116 hosted a Daddy-Daughter
Dance for the E-2 squadrons at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
Girls wearing frilly dresses and dads in
suits and ties twirled to the music in the
cavernous E-2 hangar in Hawkeye Coun-
try. About 50 people attended.
“I don’t always get the opportunity to
have a date with my daughter,” said Lt.
Cmdr. John Qualters of VAW-117, who
came with his 4-year-old, Kate. “This is
going to be great.”
Organizer Megan Ramey, president of
the FRG, said that between trainings and
deployments, military parents don’t get
much time with their children.
“We wanted to do something just for
them,” she said.
Among those enjoying the moment were
her daughter, Jilliana, 4, as she danced
with her daddy, Aviation Structural Me-
chanic 2nd Class Kevin Ramey.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Dad.

Lana Harris, 17 months, gets a kick out of the bubble table at Kids Day. “We came for her,” said
Lana’s mom, Annete. “It’s her day.” Lana’s dad is CM2 Chris Harris of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 5.
A demonstration by students taking taekwondo classes at Naval Base Ventura County was among
the Kids Day activities.

A few determined snails, a military working dog
and — thanks to professional face painters — tigers
and dragons took center stage at the annual Kids
Day event held Saturday, April 26, outside the
Child and Youth Programs (CYP) complex at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
A tae kwon do demonstration and a flash-mob
dance put on by the Teen Center were also big hits,
as was the Military Kids Run and Obstacle Course,
which drew 132 participants.
Organizers put the day’s attendance at 350.
“The day was fantastic!” said Brett Lane, CYP’s
youth director. “The purpose of the event is to
celebrate our military children, and I feel we
achieved just that.”
For four hours on a windy day, hundreds of
children had their run of the CYP parking lot,
where they could climb into a fire truck and am-
bulance, decorate a paper visor, make and then
devour a fresh-fruit kebob and try their hand at a
ring toss.
Lincoln Military Housing brought in some pro-
fessional face painters who morphed youngsters
into wild animals, butterflies, Spiderman, Wolver-
ine and other characters.
At a CYP table, children were enthralled with
some strong-willed snails that crept across a table-
cloth and any obstacles in their way. Some kids
used a magnifying glass to get an even closer-up
view.
The Teen Center sold hot dogs, nachos and
other refreshments, with proceeds going to help
with relief efforts in the Philippines.
About halfway through the event, Officer Keith
Robishaw and Master at Arms 2nd Class Brandon
Bey led a military working dog demonstration with
Jake, one of the most highly trained dogs at
NBVC.
Wearing a padded arm protector, Bey played the
“bad guy” fleeing the scene. Robishaw ordered Jake
to give chase.
“He’s trained to hold on and not rebite,” Rob-
ishaw explained as Jake did just that, even becom-
ing airborne as Bey tried to flail his arm free from
Jake’s grasp. The 80-pound dog held on tight; Bey
wasn’t going anywhere.
Once Robishaw ordered Jake to release, Bey
dropped the arm protector. The dog picked it up
and strutted in front of the audience, clearly proud
of the trophy hanging out of his mouth.
“We call this his victory lap,” Robishaw said.
Next up were the students taking taekwondo
classes on base, followed by the flash-mob dance.
“This is a great opportunity to get out of the
house; they’re always on video games,” said Infor-
mation Systems Technician 2nd Class Tony Bassner,
who brought his sons, 5-year-old Jason and 6-year-
old Ashton.
Jacob Munyon, CYP installation director for
NBVC, said Kids Day is one of his favorite
events.
“Kids Day is one of my favorite days of the year
because we (CYP) have the opportunity to put the
focus on our military kids while giving them and
their families something fun to do,” he said.

Dozens of volunteers
from Naval Base Ventura
County tookpart ina recent
disaster preparedness exer-
cise that simulated the re-
sponse required if a 9.2
earthquake were to hit Ven-
tura County.
The key part of the three-
day exercise came Friday,
May 2, when more than
1,000 personnel from 20
agencies gathered near the
CamarilloAirport torescue,
triage, treat, transport and
track more than 500 volun-
teer “victims.”
They also had to set up
emergency communications
systems, purify and distrib-
ute drinkable water, feed
and house emergency per-
sonnel andmanage the dead
and grieving.
The California Air Na-
tional Guard used a C-130
military medical transport
plane to take some of the
“victims”elsewhere—some-
thing that wouldbe required
ina real quake if all the local
hospitals were full.
Religious Ministries col-
lected names of more than
two dozen volunteers, but
many more from the base
registereddirectly withevent
coordinators or with their
own commands. EXWC
alone had 15 volunteers at
the event.
“I thought this would be
a goodopportunity tocome
out and get a good educa-
tion myself,”said Construc-
tion Mechanic 2nd Class
Ryan Nolan of EXWC.
The exercise, formally
called Operation Medical
Base 2014, was organizedby
the Ventura County Emer-
gency Medical Services
Agency and its Emergency
Preparedness Office.
Navy volunteers help at disaster drill
Until Friday, June 6, the drinking water
supply entering Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) is being temporarily disin-
fected with chlorine instead of the normal
chloramines disinfectant.
NBVC’s Public Works Department
(PWD) performs this operation annually
or semi-annually as needed to keep the
growth of nitrites in the water system at
a safe level.
The PWD water systems operators are
flushing the distribution system to pro-
mote the changeover to chlorine. The
flushing is being done via the base fire
hydrants. The water systems operators are
making every effort to minimize the im-
pact of flushing to all of the tenants and
residents at NBVC.
It is unlikely that water users will notice
any change in the appearance or smell of
their tap water; however, if any changes
are noticed, base personnel should do the
following:
• If a stronger than normal chlorine
odor exists after an extended absence, al-
low the water to run for a few minutes to
reduce the odor.
• Should you notice a discoloration at
a sink or water fountain, merely allow the
water to flow for a few minutes to flush
the line until clear water appears. Base
residents should also check the water in
their washing machine before putting
clothes in for washing. If the water is dis-
colored, set the machine to the spin cycle
to drain the water. Asecond filling should
result in clear water. If not, repeat the
draining and filling steps as necessary.
The switchback to chloramines will be
announced when the temporary operation
is completed.
For more information, contact PWD
Water Systems Operation Supervisor Steve
Latting at 805-207-4055.
It is important to note that your drink-
ing water will continue to be safe, of high
quality, and will meet all federal and state
water quality standards.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Reaching for the stars seems a stretch
for military spouses. All the moving
around can equate to never maintaining
meaningful employment.
Each working day, the Fleet & Family
Support Center (FFSC) is greeted with
cries for help from military spouses seek-
ing work. Most are frustrated and dis-
heartened as they face both a tough job
market and non-military-related competi-
tion who, it seems, have a leg up.
One thing is certain: Employers are hir-
ing —the Spring Career Fair held on base
April 2 was proof of that — but they’re
hiring only folks with outstanding resumes
who give strong interviews that exude con-
fidence and impeccable communication
skills.
The Family Employment Readiness
Program(FERP) provides information on
employment, education and volunteer op-
portunities, a great way to get your foot
in the door. FERP assists participants in
planning careers that are compatible with
the mobile military lifestyle. We assist
spouses by offering both guidance
throughout a job search and enrichment
classes to hone skills. At FFSC, spouses
can receive tips on resume building, inter-
viewing techniques and how to establish
a (in)credible online presence via an online
worldwide professional network. Classes
in Excel and PowerPoint are also offered
— and the best part is that it’s all free.
A common myth is that FERP places
people in jobs. That’s about half true.
While we do our best to match employers
with applicants, the main focus is on help-
ing you sell yourself with a powerful,
knock-‘em-dead resume and spot-on an-
swers to commonly asked interview ques-
tions.
FFSC does post available jobs on the
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
FFSC website at nbvcffscjobresources.
wordpress.com. We can also refer you to
military-friendly temp agencies that un-
derstand your situation, want to help and
will sell you.
Finally, did you know that there’s mon-
ey available for you to go back to school?
Military OneSource is a one-stop shop
where you will find information on the
Military Spouse Career Advancement Ac-
counts Program. In a nutshell, if you’re
eligible, they’ll provide you with up to
$4,000 to go back to school. You may not
be able to reach the stars, but we can at
least give you a ladder.
You can find more information at www.
militaryonesource.mil/seco. Click on the
MyCAA link, or call Military OneSource
to speak to a Spouse Education & Career
Opportunities (SECO) counselor at 800-
342-9647.

NSWC PHD
An estimated crowd of more than 200
private industry professionals gathered at
the Wednesday, April 23, Industry Forum
at the Embassy Suites in Oxnard to hear
from high-ranking civilian and military
personnel from Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC
PHD) about doing business with the
Navy.
“We extended an open invitation to any
company interested in partnering with
NSWCPHDto provide products and ser-
vices to the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet,”said
Timothy Troske, the naval command’s tech-
nical director. “We have a need to partner
with industry for those capabilities we can-
not provide in-house or may be limited to
provide due to budget constraints.”
The daylong event offered presentations,
briefings andquestion-and-answer sessions
aimed at companies that are already per-
forming work for the naval command, as
well as those that want to find out how to
get started.
The presentations were led by senior ci-
vilian leadership, including representation
fromthe Small Business Office, Contract-
ing Office and all seven command depart-
ments and offices. Attendees were provid-
edinsight intothe command’s current work
efforts and a look at what the future holds
for engineering, logistics, administrative,
management and industrial require-
ments.
“We wanted to host this event,” said
Capt. Burt Espe, commander of NSWC
PHD, “to provide a clear description of
what our command does for the surface
fleet, explain what requirements we see
coming downthe pike, andoffer small busi-
ness and contracting information in the
hopes of building relationships with indus-
try that enhance the strength and mission
of the warfighter.”
NSWC Port Hueneme Division is lo-
cated at Naval Base Ventura County. It is
the Navy’s premier in-service engineering
and logistics center and has been in exis-
tence for more than 50 years. It provides
test and evaluation, in-service engineering
and integrated logistics support for weap-
onandcombat systems installedinthe U.S.
Navy fleet, U.S. Coast Guard fleet and
many foreign navy fleets.

NMCB 4
The Seabee Tech Trainer on board Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme allows for both newand experienced
Seabees to gain knowledge and sharpen
their skills in a learning environment close
to home.
This spring, Seabees fromNaval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4 Air
Detachment have been working on Mod-
ule 9.2, wood structure framing. The proj-
ect focuses primarily on the skill sets of
builders, utilitiesmen and construction
electricians, although Seabees of other
rates are able to hone their overall con-
struction skills as well through cross rate
training.
“The Seabee Tech Trainer is a great op-
portunity for junior Sailors to learn the
skills necessary to be successful in the
field,” said Construction Electrician 1st
Class Michael Fenstermaker, the project
supervisor.
The primary advantage of the Tech
Trainer is that it allows inexperienced Sea-
bees the opportunity and time to learn, on
a physical project, without the added pres-
sure of a project deadline. It also gives
junior troops the opportunity to brief the
project to anyone who is interested.
“We have a rotating schedule for the ju-
nior troops to brief,” said Fenstermaker.
“It’s important to set them up for success
so when they become project supervisors,
they aren’t briefing for the first time.”
The project allows for eight Seabees to
work at any one time and will include heat-
ing ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC), electrical and water systems when
complete.
The construction, managerial and lead-
ership skills the Seabees learn will pay
tremendous dividends in their career. The
skills learned here in the more forgiving
environment of homeport will be applied
directly to their upcoming deployment
later this year.
NMCB 4 uses Tech Trainer to learn wood structure framing

NMCB 4
In preparation for its upcoming deploy-
ment to Pacific Command, Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4 sent a 19-
member water well drilling team to Fort
Hunter Liggett in order to develop the skills
necessary to carry out the construction of a
premier humanitarian and civic assistance
project: a working water well.
Over the course of a month, the team re-
ceived training on the components of a water
well and water well development. The first
two weeks consisted of classroominstruction
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme before the team traveled north to
Fort Hunter Liggett to drill a well.
For most of the Seabees on the team, drill-
ing the well at Fort Hunter Liggett was their
first opportunity to gain hands-on experience
in drilling and rigging. Tower Leader, Equip-
ment Operator 1st Class Ruben Ramirez, said
the training evolution was a great learning
experience and that the Fort Hunter Liggett
practicum provided necessary, hands-on,
real-world experience.
While sustaining 24-hour operations, the
teamdrilled 600 feet belowthe Earth’s surface
using an International Standards Organiza-
tion-Transportable Well Drill (ITWD) and
attachable drill bit. A specially calibrated
mud cycling through the ITWD and into the
ground enabled the team to drill through
tough sediment without clogging or damag-
ing the bit.
“Ninety-percent of drilling is troubleshoot-
ing,”said Chief Equipment Operator Michael
Hamlin, the assistant officer in charge of the
team. “Once the ITWDis staged and operat-
ing, the main goal becomes making sure that
there are no down-hole problems.”
At the conclusion of the exercise, the well
was efficiently established, pumping 45 gal-
lons of water per minute.

Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 4 recently
completed their airfield damage repair
(ADR) exercise on board Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme in
order to become certified for deploy-
ment.
ADRhas been a vital skill of the Seabees
since their founding in World War II. In
the event of hostilities involving the Unit-
ed States, Navy airfields are critical assets
for maritime patrol operations, tactical fleet
resupply and combat support mission air-
craft operations. Damage to airfield pave-
ments fromsophisticated enemy munitions
threatens air operations. Therefore, it is es-
sential for the Naval Construction Force
to have ADR capabilities so the airfield’s
launch and recovery capability can be re-
stored.
“ADRis one of the key capabilities that
people associate with Seabees,”said Ensign
Brian Douglas, the ADR Team officer in
charge. “It’s essential that we get this train-
ing and are able to accomplish our ADR
mission. In the case of a war, we’ll be re-
quired to repair airfields, and we need to
be able to make that happen.”
In order to become proficient, NMCB4
assigned one junior officer, one chief petty
officer and 47 enlisted Sailors to the ADR
teamtotake part inbothclassroominstruc-
tion as well as the final exercise. The ADR
team was sent to two separate classes to
develop the skills required of them. For the
majority of these Sailors, this class was
their first experience with airfield repair.
The level one class consistedof educating
junior enlisted Sailors in the construction,
operation and procedures for the damage
assessment, foreign object damage, and
crater repair team.
The level two class consisted of educat-
ing the more senior service members with
the knowledge and skills necessary to per-
form as a staff member within the battal-
ion’s ADR organization.
The final exercise was graded by Naval
Construction Group (NCG) 1. The team
was split into three separate crews for the
exercise, damage assessment and minimum
operating stripcrew, crater crewandforeign
object damage crew.
March 26, after six hours of physically
and mentally challenging labor, the ADR
teamcompleted its work and ensured that
the runway was able to meet the opera-
tional requirements of a C-130. In doing
so, the team received a fully passing score
from NCG 1.
“The exercise was a good time, everyone
worked hard and we were able to get some
great training in for the junior troops,”said
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Levi
Sanchez.
Completing the exercise brings NMCB
4 one certification closer to full mission
readiness.

Aquatics announces summer schedule for pools, special events
own,” Compton said.
The opening of the barbershop will put
an additional duty on the ships’ service-
men; they’ll being doing barber duty as
well.
“It’s part of the job, and with practice,
it’s easy,”said Ship’s Serviceman 3rd Class
Nigiel Quattlebaum.
Across the hall from the new Ship’s
Store is the Liberty Center, which is back
in full operation after the renovation. Four
computers, two televisions, a pool table
and a wi-fi hotspot make it a popular place
for after-work relaxation, said Chief Ship’s
Serviceman Corey Lathan, senior enlisted
adviser for SNI.
The theater renovation modernized the
space and equipment; the theater can now
show the latest digital format releases.
Although small by theater standards — it
seats just 130 — it’s more than capable of
handling patrons on the island, which has
an average weekday population of ap-
proximately 160.
“Projects like this are great for Sailor
morale,” said NBVC’s Command Master
Chief Percy Trent, who toured the island
the day of the theater’s inaugural movie
screening. “It’s important that people sta-
tioned here at SNI have access to the same
type of opportunities as they would have
in any other facilities.”
“It’s definitely a remote location,” La-
than added, “so providing opportunities
to get together, outside of their rooms,
helps keep them entertained while they’re
here away from their families.”
For the civilians living on SNI, whether
it be the Public Works staff keeping the
utilities running or firefighters manning
the station, having entertainment options
available helps make SNI a good place to
work.
“It’s a unique location. I love it here,”
Firefighter Jon Foster, who has worked at
SNI for 25 years, said while shopping at
the Ship’s Store with Rick Kuykendall, a
high-voltage electrician who’s been at SNI
for 14 years. Both agreed that recent im-
provements to MWR options have made
staying out at SNI an easy choice to
make.
“I’ll never leave,” Kuykendall said, set-
tling on some crackers. “This is my
home.”
nictown improvements called ‘great for Sailor morale’
Firefighter Jon Foster and Rick Kuykendall, a high-voltage electrician with Public Works,
satisfy a midday snack craving at the newly renovated Ship’s Store at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) San Nicolas Island. The renovation moved the Ship’s Store closer to the
living and entertainment spaces on the island and created a dedicated space for the
service, which previously shared space with the SNI bowling alley.

The movie theater at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) San Nicolas Island got a major
facelift as part of a $2.29 million project that also included a new Ship’s Store location on
the island. The new theater is capable of showing the latest digital films and seats 130.
The inaugural film, “Monuments Men,” played Wednesday, April 23.
