At 87 years of age, Eileen Hunt is retiring from
her civil service job as student services director
for CECOS, located at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme.
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
At the age of 87, and after 56 continuous
years of service to her country — a total of
58 if you factor in her two years in the
WAVES — Eileen Hunt is retiring from her
civil service job as student services director
for the Civil Engineer Corps Officers School
(CECOS) at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme.
“I figured this is what I need to do,” said
Hunt, who knew some of today’s admirals
when they walked out the CECOS doors as
ensigns. “My children think I tire more eas-
ily these days. I don’t think so, but they’re
concerned and they’re begging, so I’ll do
it.”
Hunt, known as “Miss Eileen” or “The
Commodore,” could have retired 30 years
ago. Instead, she continued to show up day
after day, donating her annual leave to oth-
ers and serving out what for many people
would have been an entire second career.
“She’s a good role model for people who
don’t want to come to work in the morning,”
said Susan Lester, public affairs officer for
87-year-old retiring from CECOS
The Naval Branch Health
Clinic at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC), Port Hueneme,
is holding seasonal immuniza-
tion clinics every Tuesday from
10 to 11 a.m. in front of the Port
Hueneme Commissary.
Exact dates are Nov. 8, 15, 22
and 29 and Dec. 6, 13, 20 and 27
— or until the flu vaccine runs
out.
The influenza vaccine is a one-
dose combo of seasonal influ-
enza and H1N1 virus strains that
will be given either in mist (na-
sal) or injection (shot).
The free vaccinations are avail-
able to everyone with base ac-
cess, according to Hospital
Corpsman 1st Class Van Man-
Free flu shots on base
Training will begin soon for
volunteers who want to help ser-
vice members and retirees pre-
pare their 2011 federal and state
income taxes.
The deadline to volunteer is
Dec. 16.
Every year, the Volunteer In-
come Tax Assistance (VITA)
program helps active duty ser-
vice members, military depen-
dents and retirees prepare their
federal and state income tax re-
turns for free. Without VITA
volunteers, service members and
their families must either do their
Tax prep volunteers needed
Clinics are Tuesdays at Port Hueneme
Commissary til Dec. 27 or they run out

What can be done about unsupervised kids on base?
Q: I have a concern about teenagers and minor
children who no longer or have never lived on base
but have access with their ID or stickers on a car.
On more than one occasion I have had kids come
to my house to visit who have not been invited and
show up unannounced that I know do not live here on
base. When questioned, they admit that their parent or
grandparent has dropped them off inside the gate to
let them “hang out” for a few hours with their friends.
But the kids clearly are under no adult care and are
just wandering from house to house to theater to the
NEX, etc. What can be done, if anything, to monitor
these kids? What happens if there is an emergency
involving these unsupervised kids?
A: Thank you for your question and concern
regarding unsupervised children aboard Naval Base
Ventura County. This also serves as an important
reminder as we approach the holiday season when
school is not in session.
The base has an instruction, NBVCINST 5510.24B,
that details the ages that children can be at home and
on the base alone. Please be aware, though, that this
instruction is under review and may change at any
time.
According to the current instruction, children 10
and older can be left alone at home or be allowed
unsupervised outside between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
Children 12 and older can be out until midnight on
Fridays, Saturdays and nights before holidays.
I would add that each parent should assess the ma-
turity of their children, as some are quite independent
and self-reliant at those ages, while others continue to
need adult supervision.
Children with ID cards are allowed to enter the
base unaccompanied by a parent. As authorized
patrons, they are allowed access to most MWR and
NEX facilities. Many parents believe the installation

As the holiday season gets under way,
the Security Management Office is issuing
a reminder to all personnel about the strict
regulations regarding Foreign Nationals
(FNs) aboard Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty.
All FNs — including friends and fam-
ily of military personnel living in base
housing (designated as “unofficial FN
visitors”) — must fill out a Foreign Na-
tional Visitor Request Form and fax or
e-mail it to the Security Management Of-
fice at least 72 hours before they want to
come on base. After approval, they will
receive an orange FN badge that must be
worn at all times while on base.
FNs staying in the Catalina Heights
military housing complex need not go
through this process unless they want to
come on base for any reason, including
shopping at the commissary or NEX or
to use recreational facilities.
Cases involving base access for official
military and civilian work-related reasons
are usually handled via the tenant com-
mand’s foreign national security manag-
ers.
NBVC defines Foreign Nationals as
individuals 18 and older who are not U.S.
citizens or, regardless of citizenship, are
representing a foreign government, foreign
corporation, other foreign entity, or an
FN doing business with a Department of
Defense component or contractor.
This includes companies incorporated
in the U.S., but under foreign ownership,
control or influence.
Legal permanent residents with a lawful
permanent resident card are not consid-
ered FNs.
Once on base, unofficial FNs must be
escorted at all times around the base. They
are only allowed to stay alone inside a base
housing residence.
Around the holidays, the problems
mostly involve unofficial visits. NBVC
Security Manager Dorothy Furagganan
said there were about two dozen cases late
last year of FNs trying to gain base access
without proper authorization.
The visitor request form and more in-
formation concerning the access program
can be downloaded at www.cnic.navy.mil/

Military Families, a non-profit organi-
zation that offers support for family
members of deployed military service
members, has teamed up with the offices
of Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, Sen. Tony
Strickland and Assemblyman Cameron
Smyth to celebrate Military Families Ap-
preciation Day at the Commemorative
Air Force World War II Museum in Ca-
marillo on Sunday, Nov. 13, from noon
to 5 p.m.
The event, which is free to the public,
will feature a brief ceremony to recognize
family members of military service mem-
bers, followed by lunch and carnival-type
activities for children and adults.
Attendees can pick up information
from booths hosted by other military-
support organizations and purchase items
from a variety of craft and food ven-
dors.
Guests will also have the opportunity
to view the museum’s collection of World
War II aircraft and other military relics
during the event.
Gorell’s office is asking for interested
parties to submit nominations for family
members of military service members
(active or retired) to receive certificates
of recognition that will be presented dur-
ing the program portion of the event.

Three military working dogs with a
combined 22 years of service recently re-
tired from Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC).
Honored in an Oct. 14 retirement cer-
emony that drew more than 40 people
were:
• Gina, a 9-year-old German shepherd
with three deployments to Iraq under her
collar. She served eight years detecting
explosives, including improvised explosive
devices in the Middle East.
• Buddy, a 9-year-old Belgian Malinois,
who spent seven years as a bomb sniffer
in San Diego and Ventura County.

In this edition, we wrap up our look at
the emotional cycle of deployment.
The final two stages are experienced in
the weeks after service members return
from deployment.
Stage 6, “renegotiation of the marriage
contract,” starts shortly after the glow of
homecoming wears off and can last up
to six weeks. Many spouses and Sailors
find themselves blindsided by the chal-
lenges of this phase of Navy life.
This stage is one in which the husband
and wife are together physically but not
necessarily emotionally. They may need
time together along with shared experi-
ences and feelings before they feel like a
couple again. During this stage the task
is to stop being “single” and start being
married again. Both need to be aware of
the necessity to refocus on their mar-
riage.
For instance, after one woman’s hus-
band had been home for a few days, she
became aggravated with him when he
would telephone his shipmate every time
something of importance came up with-
in the family — finally declaring, “I’m
your wife, talk to me!”
This stage can include feelings of a loss
of independence by the spouse. Both
Sailor and spouse may find they need to
accommodate changes in each other.
You may remember the account of
Anna in the last edition. During this
phase of renegotiation, Anna’s husband
approached the husband of the ombuds-
man regarding the many changes in
Anna. He was startled by Anna’s inde-
pendence and maturity. He had very real
adjustments to make. While Anna re-
mained as madly in love with her husband
as ever, she also had a new confidence
and feeling of accomplishment. Her hus-
band was fearful he may have lost the
wife he married. It required communica-
tion, acceptance and effort, but this
couple has found a deeper relationship.
Both Sailor and spouse will have ex-
pectations. Men often think of homecom-
ing in terms of beer and sex, and not
necessarily in that order. Women think
of it in terms of affection such as cuddles
and talking. Sex is down the list a bit.
Communication during this time is
crucial. Talk about expectations and dis-
cuss what your marriage looks like now.
Your marriage will require renegotiation
of roles, responsibilities and even the tone
and character of your marriage. Success-
ful couples say the key is to commit to
working through the changes and chal-
lenges.
Take advantage of return and reunion
workshops during this time. You may find
it helpful to talk to a chaplain or coun-
selor.
One last tip during this stage: Turn off
the TV and the computers. Spend time
interacting. Take long walks, put togeth-
er a 5,000-piece puzzle, go on a vacation
or staycation but keep the TV and Inter-
net from “filling the gaps” in your rela-
tionship.
Stage 7, the last stage, is the reintegra-
tion and stabilization phase. This stage
is characterized by a new sense of com-
fort. Couples have successfully negoti-
ated the changes and adjustments in their
marriage relationship. They have ac-
cepted new routines and are enjoying
their relationship.
Understanding the emotional chal-
lenges we face during sea tours and de-
ployments can help both Sailor and
spouse. When we realize the patterns of
behavior or the emotions we are experi-
encing are normal, we can take steps to
improve our quality of life.

Quality time with family prior to and
after deployment is essential to maintain-
ing a parent-child bond during deploy-
ment. Whether the quality time means a
special day trip, hanging out at a local
park or taking part in family readiness
group activities, this time is valuable to a
military-connected family.
With this essential quality time in mind,
California’s governor has recently signed
a bill allowing schools to excuse absences
due to deployment-related absences.
Though schools are not required to excuse
absences, this bill allows schools to receive
state apportionment payments by deeming
them as absences in computing average
daily attendance.
Assembly Bill 387 includes as an excused
absence spending time with an immediate
family member who is on active duty and
has been called to duty for, is on leave from
or has immediately returned fromdeploy-
ment to a combat zone or combat support
position.
Ultimately, each individual school dis-
trict determines if, when and how deploy-
ment-related absences will be excused.
AB 387 was authored by Assembly-
woman Susan A. Bonilla (D-Concord)
and was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown to
clarify existing law to ensure that military
children are provided with excused ab-
sences from school when a member of
their immediate family is being deployed
or on leave from active duty.
Bonilla pointed out that the stress
caused by deployment, in addition to wor-
ries that families tend to have, can be more
than a child can endure.
Prior to AB 387, students could be ex-
cused from school for illness, medical ap-
pointment, to attend a funeral for a fam-
ily member, jury duty or a few justifiable
personal reasons. Due to the signing of
AB 387, not only will schools receive the
average daily attendance for the student,
but the student will also be allowed to
make up homework and tests while absent.
This will ensure the students and schools
are not being penalized for a missed school
day spent with an active duty parent pri-
or to or after a deployment.
If a family is considering taking advan-
tage of this new law, it is important to
remember a few things:
• Every school district can decide if,
when and how an absence will be excused
for a military deployment reason. There-
fore, parents should check with their
child’s school and district to learn more
about their absence policy in regards to
military deployment.
• Arrangements should be made with
the school and teacher prior to the absence
rather than afterwards.
• Students miss a great deal when not
in school. Be sure that the absences are
appropriate and beneficial to the success
of the family.
In 2009, the California Legislature
passed and the governor signed AB 343
to adopt the recommendations from the
Interstate Compact Opportunity for Mil-
itary Children.
The purpose of the compact was to re-
duce the educational obstacles faced by
children of military personnel when they
are required to transfer from schools in
one state to another. The compact ad-
dresses differences in state regulations
involving immunization requirements,
kindergarten and first-grade entrance ages,
exit exams and graduation require-
ments.
Strides are being made to ensure mili-
tary-connected children are allowed the
opportunity to receive a comparable edu-
cational experience as their non-military-
connected student counterparts. AB 343
and AB 387 are two examples of the Cal-
ifornia Legislature’s commitment to mili-
tary-connected students.

A few weeks ago I, along with several
other military and civilian workers, had a
chance to play wheelchair basketball.
Naval Base Ventura County’s Morale
Welfare and Recreation put together this
great opportunity for everyone there to
get a little taste of one of the most popu-
lar sports offered at Wounded Warrior
Training Camp held at our base.
Although I came away with a greater
appreciation for the athletes who play
wheelchair basketball — in terms of the
sheer athleticism, strength and stamina
that is required to compete in this tough
sport — I walked out the gym that day
with something more personal.
While sitting in my wheelchair just mo-
ments before the beginning of the friend-
ly scrimmage, fully strapped in so my legs
and feet could not move, I had a momen-
tary déjà vu experience of when I visited
some wounded Soldiers and Marines at a
hospital ward a fewyears ago. I remember
howit was an emotional day for me at the
ward because a couple of those brave he-
roes actually deployed to the same area as
I did in Mosul, Iraq, either a few months
before or after I returned home in 2008.
They were all injured or wounded in the
line of duty; now they are relearning to
be active and mobile for the rest of their
lives.
I experienced a common reaction that
day, which many veterans share with me
when they see fellow veterans in a similar
situation: I clearly recalled my own close
brushes with danger as well as those who
served with me “in the sandbox.” Sadly,
some friends did not make it back home;
others returned with life-changing injuries
and wounds.
After our wheelchair basketball game
ended, I could hear nearly everyone un-
strapping themselves, laughing and breath-
ing a sigh of relief because they could
move about freely again.
As I pushed myself out my wheelchair,
I too felt a similar sense of physical free-
dom. Most importantly, I came away with
a greater appreciation of what our Wound-
ed Warriors have to face on a daily basis.
They have shown love for our country and
made incredible sacrifices that most peo-
ple could not even fathom.
It is our turn to love them back and
show our support for them. Take a few
moments to thank a veteran today! God
bless.
Moments in a wheelchair create a lifetime of lessons

Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Han, chaplain at Naval Base
Ventura County, takes part in a wheelchair
basketball scrimmage a few weeks ago.
Another training camp for seri-
ously wounded, ill and injured Navy
and Coast Guard personnel will be
held at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, Nov. 3-7.
Sixteen athletes and 10 coaches are
expected. Sports include archery,
shooting, sitting volleyball, wheel-
chair basketball, cycling, track and
field and swimming. Training will
take place at the Bee-Fit Wellness
Center and the Bee-Hive Gym.
Training camp Nov. 3-7
Seven-year-old Mattie Pogue had made
a turkey out of her handprint, she’d col-
ored and she’d chatted with her 8-year-old
brother, Rowdy.
Now, she was ready to move on to the
apples.
The Pogues, whose dad, Christopher, is
a chief steelworker with the Naval Con-
struction Training Center, had come to
the Oct. 27 open house put on by FOCUS,
a program developed by UCLA to help
families deal with military-related issues,
primarily deployments.
But at this particular moment, the only
emotion Mattie was feeling was the an-
ticipation of trying to eat an apple hang-
ing from the rafters by a string.
A fun time was what the open house
was all about —that and getting the word
out about what FOCUS is and the ser-
vices it provides.
Currently housed in the Seabee Chapel
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC),
Port Hueneme, FOCUS plans to move
soon to another location on base, said Ben
Wilson, site director.
And when that happens, another open
house will be held, he promised.

NSWC PHD Command
Communications Office
Naval Surface Warfare Center
(NSWC), Port Hueneme Divi-
sion, is in the business of support-
ing America’s warfighters, and
that support does not end at the
forward deployed units. Continu-
ing that support through NAV-
SEA’s Wounded Warrior pro-
gram, the command exceeded its
fiscal 2011 goal of hiring 20
wounded service members by em-
ploying a total of 31 — an in-
crease of more than 500 percent
from 2010.
NSWCPort Hueneme’s goal in
hiring Wounded Warriors sup-
ports former Chief of Naval Op-
erations Adm. Gary Roughead’s
objective for the Navy to become
increasingly diverse, to build an
inclusive climate that retains tal-
ent, and to have the Navy recog-
nized as an employer of choice
in the United States.
“Our goal is to ensure Wound-
ed Warriors have every opportu-
nity and support needed to tran-
sition from military to civilian
service,” said Capt. William De-
Bow, NSWC Port Hueneme’s
commander. “Our success is mea-
sured not only in numbers, but in
providing opportunities for
wounded service members to
serve their country in a civilian
capacity.”
In the two years since the
Wounded Warrior program be-
gan, the command enacted ag-
gressive recruiting initiatives,
including establishing internal
departmental hiring goals, devel-
oping a fiscal year wounded war-
rior recruiting schedule, attending
nine Hiring Heroes Career Fairs
and partnering with the Balboa
Career Transition Center to host
an on-base career fair.
Other partnerships with Veter-
ans Affairs offices in Los Angeles,
San Diego and Ventura County,
Wounded Warriors Battalion
West and non-profit veterans or-
ganizations continue to refer re-
sumes to NSWC Port Hueneme
for employment consideration
and skills analysis.
Former Master Sgt. Michael
Heath found employment with
NSWC Port Hueneme as the
Technical Manual Management
Course lead instructor for Naval
Systems Data Support Activity.
While serving with the U.S. Ma-
rines under Operation Noble
Eagle and Enduring Freedom,
Heath was injured twice with
gunshot wounds. Initially, he
intended to remain on active
duty, but his injuries forced him
to retire. Heath spent a year un-
dergoing surgery and therapy
before joining the NSWC Port
Hueneme team.
“I think the Wounded War-
rior hiring program is outstand-
ing and one that the wounded
defenders of our nation cer-
tainly deserve,” said Heath. “I
can only speak for myself and
for the wounded warriors that
I have spoken with in various
support groups, but I believe
this program has given me a
second chance and opportunity
to continue supporting the mil-
itary on the frontlines with the
skills, experience and expertise
that the military provided
me.”
NSWC Port Hueneme em-
ploys more than 2,700 military
and civilian personnel.

VAW-116
Carrier Airborne Command and Con-
trol Squadron 116 (VAW-116), the Sun
Kings, returned home last month after a
three-week Composite Training Unit Ex-
ercise (COMPTUEX) off the coast of
Southern California.
COMPTUEXis typically completed by
each carrier strike group in the later stag-
es of training prior to deployment. The
exercise trained Carrier Strike Group 9
for a deployment later this year.
The exercise tested the ability of all the
ships and the air wing that make up the
strike group to work as a single cohesive
combat unit, as well as the air wing’s pro-
ficiency in performing the various mission
types required for carrier-based opera-
tions.
Onboard the Nimitz Class aircraft car-
rier, the USS AbrahamLincoln (CVN-72),
the Sun Kings performed carrier qualifica-
tion flights on Sept. 19 prior to beginning
a series of complicated tactical mission
sets that would last for the following three
weeks.
The E-2C Hawkeye provides carrier-
based airborne early warning and com-
mand, control and coordination for the
strike group. The strike group depends on
the E-2C to provide a tactical surface and
air picture and to maintain data link and
communications connectivity between all
assets. Specific training missions for the
Sun Kings during COMPTUEXincluded
control of strike, air intercept and combat
search and rescue missions.
The Sun Kings also played a major role
in the planning and execution of large
scale air defense exercises, which included
all aircraft and ships in the strike group.
The robust flight schedule during
COMPTUEX resulted in the Sun Kings
flying more than 300 flight hours, demand-
ing tremendous actions from VAW-116’s
maintenance department, pilots and naval
flight officers to support the daily flight
schedule.
COMPTUEX was the final phase of
the rigorous training schedule that the Sun
Kings have completed since returning
home fromtheir last deployment inMarch.
The training instilled the Sun Kings with
confidence in their ability to safely and
effectively execute any mission required
of them in the future.

The Navy Band Southwest Brass Quintet performs at E.O. Green Junior High School on
Thursday, Oct. 20.
More than 1,000 students at E.O. Green
Junior High School in Oxnard got a quick
music lesson on Thursday, Oct. 20, when
the Navy Band Southwest Brass Quintet
stopped by for a performance.
In town for a change of command cer-
emony at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC), Port Hueneme, the band, home-
ported in San Diego, visited E.O. Green
to kick off the new partnership between
the school and the base, explained NBVC
School Liaison Officer Monica James.
“This is one of the most rewarding
things we do,”Musician 2nd Class Joseph
Moore, the unit leader and a trombone
player in the quintet, said as he looked out
of a classroom and into the courtyard
where the students were taking their seats.
“They’ll be our future replacements.”
Musician 2nd Class Eddie Hernandez,
who plays the French horn, enhanced the
quintet’s performance by explaining the
differences between musical styles, such
as jazz pieces and marches.
He also explained to students why a
march is so important to the military —it
sets the tempo —and asked themto imag-
ine themselves heading across a field,
walking or running to the beat.
“We’re very excited and honored to have
had this opportunity,” said Principal Ju-
lianne Peña.

Financial analyst Dulce Valencia has
received the Navy’s top award for coordi-
nating the purchase card program at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC).
Valencia, who has been at the base for
two years and a civil servant for 20, said
it was an honor to be singled out for the
award.
“But really,” she said, “I’m just doing
my job.”
Valencia received the 2011 Silver Award
for Department of Navy Purchase Card
Agency ProgramCoordinator of the Year.
She picked up the award in August when
she attended a General Services Admin-
istration conference in Las Vegas for the
people who run the government’s travel,
fleet and purchase card programs. About
6,000 attended, 1,600 of them from the
Navy.
“That was a lot of people!” she said.
Valencia also oversees the base’s time-
keeping and payroll, travel card program
and plant property administration.
Eighteen people at NBVChave purchase
cards, and they spend about $200,000 a
month, most of it on office supplies, ser-
vices, mission-support equipment, training
and consumables.
At her previous position at Naval Fa-
cilities in Hawaii, 200 cards were used to
purchase $1.5 million in supplies and ser-
vices each month.
“All I did there was purchase cards,”she
said. “Purchase cards there was a full-time
job.”
Valencia said the most important part
of her job is to make sure all cardholders
are in compliance with the ever-changing
regulations.
“I try to help them understand all the
rules so no one is in violation,” she said.
“No violations — not on my watch.”
Buying office supplies isn’t as easy as
heading to the local office supply store
and whipping out the purchase card. Va-
lencia laughs at the very idea.
“When you use government funds, you
have to followcertain steps,”she explained,
pointing to a 3-inch binder dealing with
acquisitions. “You can’t just go make a
buy.”
Valencia drew up a flow chart of all
those steps —the standard operating pro-
cedure —that several of her counterparts
at other Navy installations now use.
“The regulations change all the time,”
she said. “We must all be familiar with all
the regulations. We have to know them.
People depend on us.”
Valencia figures she spends about a third
of her time on the purchase card program,
dealing with monthly audits, making sure
everything is paid on time, answering ques-
tions.
“There are constantly questions,” she
said.
A native of the Philippines, Valencia
started with the civil service in Japan,
working with Naval Air Pacific Repair
(NAPRA) command’s travel program.
After that, she went to NAVFAC Hawaii,
where she spent 12 years with the purchase
card program and travel card program.
“The business there was very compli-
cated,”she said. “I learned a lot about the
programs.”
An Oxnard resident, she lives with her
husband, Elias, who is retired from the
Navy and nowworks with Naval Facilities
Expeditionary Logistics Center. Their two
children are grown, with their daughter
serving as an Army captain in Colorado
and their son an Air Force firefighter in
Arizona.
Valencia says her job keeps her on her
toes.
“There’s constant training,” she said.
“But it’s all in a day’s work.”

Twelve teams competed in a Naval
Base Ventura County volleyball tourna-
ment last month that saw a team of de-
pendents and their guests go undefeated
for first place. The team Members Only
took the championship after winning
five games, then going 21 to 17 in the
first match of the final game and 21 to
10 in the second.
Dependent Kim Mendenhall served as
captain.
Also on the team were dependents
Andrew Chua and Robert Reed. They
played alongside recent graduates of
Oxnard and Channel Islands high
schools.
“It was fun,” Mendenhall told Anna-
belle Ferrer, the Point Mugu Gym man-
ager and intramural sports coordinator
who put together the Oct. 22 tournament
in the Mugu Gym. “Everyone had a
great attitude and was friendly.”
Ferrer was pleased with the turnout.
“Overall, I think it was a very success-
ful tournament,” she said. “Everyone
was excited to play. We all had fun and
were cheering for each other. It was
friendly competition.”

NBVC Environmental
Residents of Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Point Mugu, are reminded that this area
is coyote country, and steps should be
taken to minimize interaction with these
wild creatures.
Once restricted mostly to the open prai-
ries of the central United States, coyotes
have adapted to virtually all habitats in
North America. Hardly any animal in
America is more adaptable to changing
conditions than the coyote.
One of the keys to the coyote’s success
is its diet. Coyotes are discovering that the
urban environment provides a variety of
sources of food. Resourceful andadaptable
as coyotes are, they will take advantage of
this when they can.
Coyotes are opportunistic feeders that
eat a wide variety of plants and animals.
They primarily subsist on small mammals
such as rats, mice, squirrels, gophers and
rabbits, but they can survive on almost
anything, including garbage, insects,
snakes, birds, fallen fruit and vegetables,
bird seed and pet food.
With large erect ears, slender muzzle and
bushy tail, coyotes resemble a small collie
dog. Most adults weigh between 15 and
26 pounds on the average, with males being
larger. They often appear heavier than they
actually are due to their thick double
coat.
The voice of the coyote is quite distinc-
tive and can carry over long distances,
consisting of various howls, high-pitched
yaps and dog-like barks.
Coyotes are most active at night and
during the early morning and late evening
hours. Most sightings of coyotes occur
during the hours close to sunrise and sun-
set.
Although naturally curious, coyotes are
usually timid animals and normally run
away if challenged. Coyotes are a risk to
people once they become comfortable
around humans, usually as a result of in-
tentionally or unintentionally feeding and/
or indifference. When this occurs, coyotes
lose their natural fear and learn to see
people, their yards and their pets as food
sources and safe havens.
You must discourage coyotes from feel-
ing comfortable around you and your fam-
ily by eliminating coyote attractions from
your yard and encouraging your neighbors
to do the same.
Here are some steps you can take to re-
duce the chance of human-coyote conflicts
and maintain a successful coexistence:
• Do not feed coyotes, feral cats or oth-
er wildlife.
• Eliminate sources of water, particu-
larly during dry times of the year.
• Bird feeders should be positioned so
that coyotes can’t get the feed.
• Do not discard edible garbage where
coyotes can get to it. If possible, do not
put trash cans out the night before sched-
uled pick-up. Putting trash out in the
morning will give coyotes less time to scav-
enge. Secure garbage containers with tight-
fitting lids and try to eliminate garbage
odors.
• Feed pets indoors whenever possible.
• Keep small pets indoors or under su-
pervision, especially at nighttime. Do not
allow pets to run free at any time.
• If you start seeing coyotes around your
home or property, chase them away by
shouting, making loud noises or throwing
rocks.
Despite potential conflicts, people live
peacefully with coyotes nearby, often un-
aware of their presence.
For more information, call Martin Ru-
ane at 989-3808.

Cpl. Angelica Jaime shares her favorite memories of Sgt. Juan C. Garcia, Jr., during a
memorial service Friday, Oct. 28, in the Seabee Chapel at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC), Port Hueneme. Garcia, the administrative chief for the U.S. Marine Corps Weapons
Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines, a reserve unit at NBVC Port Hueneme, died in an
automobile accident on Oct. 9.
An outstanding Marine who was well-
liked and invoked confidence in everyone
he worked with was howSgt. Juan C. Gar-
cia, Jr., was remembered Friday, Oct. 28,
during a noontime memorial service at the
Seabee Chapel, Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC), Port Hueneme.
Garcia, known as Carlos, was the ad-
ministrative chief of Weapons Company,
2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines, a reserve unit
at NBVC Port Hueneme. He died in an
automobile accident Oct. 9 on Highway
101 in Thousand Oaks.
He was 34 years old.
“He was very competent,” said Maj.
Keith Tighe, the incoming inspection in-
structor at the weapons company. “This
is a huge loss. It really hurt the unit.”
The reserve company is made up of 100
to 150 Marines, and many looked up to
Garcia, Tighe said.
“You don’t come across people like him
often,” said Cpl. Angelica Jaime, fighting
back her emotions at the chapel podium.
“He took pride in all the things he did.”
She said it’s hard now to come back to
the office and not see him at his desk.
Garcia was born Oct. 18, 1976, in Chi-
cago and joined the Marine Corps on
Sept. 16, 1996. After assignments in Oki-
nawa, Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Joliet, Ill.,
he was released from active duty in 2007
and transferred to the Marine Corps Re-
serve. He served in Great Lakes, Ill., then
reported to Port Hueneme on Aug. 16 of
this year.
Garcia is survived by his parents, Juan
Garcia, Sr., and Minerva Garcia, and by
his daughter, Nayeli L. Garcia.

Nearly 2,000 people attended this year’s
two-night Haunted Swamp at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC), Port Huen-
eme.
Aquatics Manager Gerry Legaspi
praised the five commands that created
the different scenes — from a glow room
to a human slaughterhouse to a haunted
campsite.
“Everybody brought something to the
table,” he said. “It was definitely fun to
see all the commands come through on
this project.”
A total of 794 people attended the Fri-
day, Oct. 28, event, which was only for
people with base access. A total of 1,024
attended the second night, which was open
to the public.
This year’s Haunted Swamp included
the traditional ride through the pool that
was made possible by divers from Under-
water Construction Team-2 (UCT-2).
Every year, they pull inflatable boats
across the water, lending credence to the
swamp theme.
Several dozen volunteers staffed the
event each evening. The Friday night crew
ended up missing Game 7 of the World
Series, but some didn’t mind one bit.
“The World Series,” commented one
volunteer. “Is that baseball or soccer?”
The glow room created by Air Test and
Evaluation Squadron 30 (VX-30) was
judged to be the best of the scenes, earn-
ing the command go-ahead points for the
2012 Battle of Commands, an annual
competition made up of about a dozen
events ranging from a tug-of-war to a
sandcastle-building contest to a boat race
in the Port Hueneme pool.
In addition to UCT-2 and VX-30, the
Naval Construction Training Center, Na-
val Mobile Construction Battalion 3 and
Naval Branch Health Clinic took part.
“We didn’t know it was going to be this
good!”one mother exclaimed as she pulled
a hesitant youngster out of the pitch-black
haunted forest and on to the next scene.
The evenings were divided into two
“tours” — a toned-down “Scaredy Cat”
daylight tour for little ones and a scarier
after-dark tour for the older set.
“Awesome,” “great job” and “really
scary” were some of the comments from
both adults and kids.
Cody Bond, 11, came with his family to
the “Scaredy Cat”tour, convinced it would
be too tame.
Afterwards, as he headed to the hay
maze and the carnival in the Warfield
Gym, he claimed he hadn’t been scared at
all.
“Ri-i-ight,” said his dad, Construction
Electrician 1st Class Nathan Bond of the
Naval Construction Training Center.
Was the boy scared?
“Oh yeah,” his dad said with a big
grin.

A Halloween costume contest that
had been a staple at the Naval Base
Ventura County, Port Hueneme, Com-
missary up until two years ago returned
this year.
All afternoon on Halloween, contes-
tants ranging from newborns to adults
vied for prizes and enjoyed a bounce
house, beanbag toss and free hot dogs,
popcorn and cotton candy.
The event was a joint venture with
Procter &Gamble. The company’s rep-
resentative, Terry Avalos, had organized
the carnival and costume contest for
six years, then went on a two-year hia-
tus. She’s back, and so is the event.
Estella Craven of the commissary’s
support group reported a steady stream
of toddlers in the early afternoon and
expected older children after school let
out.

Apumpkin-carving contest designed to
scare up some money for next year’s Sea-
bee Ball drew 24 entrants on Halloween.
The 31st Seabee Readiness Group put
on the contest in the cavernous Supply
Bldg. 375 at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme. Ten awards were present-
ed by the chief staff officer, Capt. Bruce
Nevel — three for scariest, three for fun-
niest, three for most original and one
overall.
The top award ended up going to En-
gineering Aide Constructionman Audrey
Hurst, who had never carved a pumpkin
before but who is an accomplished sculp-
tor, working with clay and wood.
“I just used the same technique,” she
said, explaining why her carving of a
house on a hill had a three-dimensional
effect.
The idea for the contest came from
Chief Builder Hector Calderon.
“We had one two years ago when I was
in Afghanistan, and I won,” he said. “I
carved a skeleton face and got $75.”
He turned the idea into a fundraiser for
the Seabee Ball, charging entrants $10 for
a pumpkin and a hot dog or hamburger
meal, $7 for a tri-tip sandwich with soda
and chips.
So far, the 31st SRG has raised $3,500
for the Seabee Ball, which will be held
March 10 at the Ronald Reagan Presiden-
tial Library in Simi Valley.

place in the funniest category.

EACNAudrey Hurst’s house on a hill took first
place overall. The Florida native said she’d
never carved a pumpkin before. However,
she is an accomplished sculptor in clay and
wood, and those techniques contributed to
the three-dimensional effect of her carving.

NSWC PHD Command
Communications Office
Employees with the Naval Surface War-
fare Center, Port Hueneme Division
(NSWC PHD), completed a six-day as-
sessment of USS Gridley’s (DDG 101)
combat, weapon and underway replenish-
ment systems Oct. 3-7 while docked at Port
Hueneme.
During the assessment, command en-
gineers and technicians provided expertise
and services on several systems of the Ar-
leigh-Burke class destroyer, including the
MK 41 Vertical Launching System, AN/
SPY-1 Phased Array Radar, MK 99 Fire
Control System, Aegis Integrated Combat
System, Operational Readiness Test Sys-
tem, Tomahawk Cruise Missile Guidance
and Launching Systems, MK 15 Phalanx
Close-In Weapons System, interior com-
munication switchboards, Underway Re-
plenishment Systems, as well as logistics
and technical documentation.
Fire Controlman Chief (SW) Paris
Henry, officer-in-charge of NSWCPHD’s
assessment, emphasized PHD’s main ob-
jective during the ship’s stay.
“The primary goal for this particular
visit was to ensure success for the USS
Gridley’s upcoming Inspection and Survey
come March 2012,” he said.
Throughout the assessment, PHD en-
gineers and technicians worked with the
ship’s crew to provide operations and
maintenance training on topics such as
Tomahawk Strike Network and Vertical
Launching System Deluge.
In addition, Sailors and command per-
sonnel shared important technical, logis-
tics and lessons-learned information,
which is vital to the safety and effective-
ness of the ship’s offensive and defensive
weapons. Services provided by NSWC
PHD enabled the ship to proceed with
more effective pre-deployment workups
and ensured that systems were in a state
of operational readiness.
“Capt. DeBow and the entire PHD
team provided proactive, engaged techni-
cal support and training for our junior
Sailors and improved our combat readi-
ness,” USS Gridley Cmdr. Benjamin All-
britton, said, referring to NSWC PHD’s
commanding officer, Capt. William De-
Bow. “We look forward to continuing our
relationship with our Aegis and deck in-
service engineers.”
NSWC PHD has been offering port
visit assessments to the fleet since 1989.
The command not only offers highly
skilled engineers and technicians, it also
offers the only government-owned, deep-
water harbor between San Diego and
Puget Sound.

crew of USS Gridley (DDG 101) took place
at NSWC Port Hueneme´s UNREP Test Site
last month.
The entire PHD team
provided proactive,
engaged technical
support and training
for our junior Sailors
and improved our
combat readiness.

the Center for Seabees and Facilities
Engineering, which oversees CECOS.
CECOS trains civil engineers how to
become leaders in the military. The men
and women who enter the school have
college degrees, and some have prior
military experience. When they graduate,
they have a rank of Navy warrant officer,
ensign or higher, and they go on to their
assigned commands or to other branch-
es of the military. Some return to CE-
COS as instructors specializing in career
development, energy issues, environmen-
tal issues or facilities management and
acquisitions. Many continue through the
ranks, with a few becoming admirals.
“These young gentlemen — and now
women — do very well,” Hunt said. “All
of them want to be here.”
That’s one big change from when Hunt
first started at CECOS in 1966. At that
time, the Vietnam War was raging, and
young men — and only men — would
spend eight weeks at the school and ship
out.
“Get them in, get them out and get
them on their way,” she said. “That’s the
way it was.”
Today’s classes are three months long,
and in all, Hunt has seen 251 classes
come through CECOS.
There are usually 30 students per class
— three or four of them women.
“These students are very well-versed,”
she said. “A lot of them are married,
some have children. They’re all set for
whatever’s ahead — well, not always war
and things like that, but sometimes that’s
what happens.”
As the student services director, Hunt
makes sure all the students’ records are
in order, that any transportation and
lodging are arranged for them and their
dependents, that someone is always on
hand to greet them on their first day,
and that they’re all set for their classes.
Once they’re settled in, she takes on
the role of den mother, from tracking
down lost ID cards to lending an ear for
someone who just wants to talk.
“They’re always nice, polite people
who come through here,” she said.
Hunt was born Aug. 24, 1924, in Ohio.
Her brother was in the service, and she
decided to follow in his footsteps — even
though he didn’t approve.
“He didn’t think girls should go into
the military,” she recalled. “But the rest
of my family was supportive.”
In 1944, she joined the WAVES —
Women Accepted for Volunteer Emer-
gency Service — at the age of 20, the
minimum allowed. She went to boot
camp in Oklahoma, then was stationed
at Jacksonville, Fla.
“I was a yeoman, and I did office
work,” she said. “I was hoping for some-
thing different, but I was deemed fit to
be a yeoman.”
After hours, she’d go dancing.
“I wanted to dance a lot,” she recalls.
“If you didn’t like dancing, I didn’t have
time for you.”
It was on the dance floor that she met
the man she’d marry, and in 1946, after
just two years as a WAVE, she became
pregnant and had to leave the Navy.
“That’s the way it was back then,” she
said.
Hunt had two daughters and a son
and remained a full-time homemaker
and a mother until 1955.
“But by then, I really wanted a new
car,” she said.
And so she re-entered the workforce,
working in the Yards and Docks Supply
Office (YDSO) at Port Hueneme until
1958, then moving to Hawaii, where she
worked until 1961.
She came back to Port Hueneme, but
the YDSO was decommissioned in 1963.
She opted to join the Construction Bat-
talion Center Office of Personnel, which
was renamed CECOS in 1966, and she’s
been there ever since.
CECOS moved to a new building in
1990, and Hunt admits that while it’s
larger, sleeker and more modern, the new
building doesn’t have the same feel as
the old one.
“It seemed more like family there,” she
said. “I guess I just don’t make changes
very easily. I get someplace, I like it, and
I like to stay.”
Dec. 2 will be her last day at CECOS.
So what happens Dec. 3?
“I guess I won’t be getting dressed,”
she says, laughing.
Now divorced, with a daughter in Ox-
nard, a daughter in Simi Valley and a
son who lives with her in Oxnard, she’ll
be busy, especially when seven grand-
children and seven great-grandchildren
are factored in.
CECOS will have to deal with some
changes as well.
Chances are Hunt’s typewriter will go
away. Hunt never made the transition to
a computer because she lost vision in
her left eye in 1998 and preferred the
typewriter. It has come in handy for
many a person who has had to fill out
a form in hard copy or whip out an en-
velope.
The office won’t have to field phone
calls every Aug. 24 when people from
all over the world, including admirals,
call to wish Miss Eileen a happy birth-
day.
Students will miss the answer, “Tip
top!” when they ask Hunt how her day
is, and they’ll miss the flower she always
wears in her hair on Fridays.
“My daughter is a hairdresser and she
does my hair on Saturdays,” she said.
“By the time Friday comes around, it
needs help.”
What will she miss the most?
“The people,” she replied, not missing
a beat.
Were there some for whom she made
a difference, perhaps a student who was
especially lonely or uncertain about the
future?
She pauses on that one.
“I like to think so,” she said. “But I
don’t.”
She should.
Across from her desk is a plaque that
honors the person in each class deemed
to have the valued traits most like Hunt’s:
the most personable, the most helpful,
the one who takes the best care of his
or her shipmates.
But the best proof that Hunt has made
a difference in her 56-year career will
come at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14,
when her retirement ceremony takes
place in the lobby of CECOS, Bldg.
1444.
Dozens of people have said they’ll at-
tend — including four admirals.

• Alf, an 8-year-old long-haired German
shepherd who served seven years as a drug
detector.
Three more dogs in the NBVC kennel
are due to retire soon.
After the ceremony, Gina went home
with her new owner, Cmdr. Christopher
Kenefick, operations officer at NBVC
Point Mugu.
“I’m looking forward to the opportu-
nity to give a good home to a veteran
military working dog,” Kenefick said as
Gina nuzzled his leg. “Four of her nine
years of life were spent in Iraq. She de-
serves a good home.”
He said his 11-year-old son, Christopher
Jr., was especially looking forward to the
new addition at their Camarillo home.
“It will be a good fit,” Kenefick said.
Alf was headed home with a Depart-
ment of Navy police officer, and Buddy
is still looking for a home.
“I think they knowthey’re retiring,”said
Master-at-Arms 1st Class Joseph Domin-
guez. “They know what’s work, and they
know what’s play.”
The dog’s most recent handler has first
dibs on adopting the retiring canine. Then
the adoption is open to anyone at the ken-
nel, then to the command, then to the
region. Only then are civilians considered,
and the process for them is rigorous.
“We need to make sure of what they’re
looking for in a dog and whether they have
the proper means of taking care of these
dogs,”explained Master-at-Arms 1st Class
John Caral.
Capt. Jim McHugh, commanding of-
ficer of NBVC, called the retiring dogs
“true warriors.”
“It’s time for them to enjoy a life of re-
laxation, of being a real dog,” he said.

NMCB 40 Public Affairs
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 40 has finished its final home-
port Field Training Exercise (FTX or
FEX) in preparation for its last deploy-
ment.
Nearly 500 Seabees were gone fromNa-
val Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme,
for three weeks, leaving the comforts of
home with their packs loaded with field
and combat gear to performthe battalion’s
last ever homeport field training evolu-
tion.
“FEX,” as it is affectionately referred
to by the Seabees, is a rigorous testing and
evaluation of the battalion’s overall com-
bat readiness. Tasks include movement
of troops and Civil Engineer Support
Equipment (CESE), camp defense, chem-
ical biological and radiological drills, proj-
ect construction, Convoy Security Element
movements, and above all, safety. Each
company in the battalion has specific task-
ing, and all must work together to accom-
plish the mission.
Grading and evaluating the battalion is
the responsibility of the 31st Seabee Read-
iness Group (31st SRG), which creates
realistic mission scenarios as well as play-
ing “aggressors” to evaluate the battalion
on implementing rules of engagement,
escalation of force and many other evolu-
tions. Once the battalion has passed the
graded exercises, they receive certification
for deployment.
The battalion faced many challenges,
both mental and logistical. Multiple small
details were sent out to construct projects
simultaneously, and the effects were felt
across the battalion, said Senior Chief
Utilitiesman Fred Martinez, NMCB 40’s
operations chief.
“We are spread thin, but we are accom-
plishing the mission,” Martinez said to-
ward the end of the exercise. “Everyone
has a lot of pride in 40, and I think that’s
what’s driving these Seabees to push
through.”
Seabees worked in full gear with a heat
index of more than 100 degrees and con-
ducted chemical, biological and radio-
logical drills in full chemical protective
suits and gas masks. Fall came in seem-
ingly overnight, bringing chilling cold and
rain. Seabees stood watch through the
night, hunkered down in their muddy dug-
out fighting positions, keeping a watchful
lookout for the camp and fending off the
nightly enemy attacks.
For many Seabees, this was their very
first “FEX”and for others, it will be their
last, as the battalion is being decommis-
sioned upon its return from its upcoming
deployment.
As NMCB 40 continues to write the
final pages of her history in the upcoming
Pacific Command deployment, the atti-
tude remains positive amongst the bat-
talion as they stay focused on the mission
and task at hand.
“We will finish strong and go out with
our heads held high,” Martinez said.

U.S. Air Force
Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa
Public Affairs Office
KONTALI, Djibouti — As the four-
wheel drive vehicles shuddered and lurched
over the rocky dirt road, Seabees from
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5
caught a glimpse of the Kontali village as
it appeared on the horizon, nearly hidden
by the Oct. 1 midday sun.
The small village, which sits atop a hill
overlooking a vast expanse of dry land,
was bustling with activity as villagers hur-
ried to make the final preparations for a
fútbol game and cultural festival held for
the Seabees.
“They have helped us so much,”Ibrahim
Idriss Mohamed, a Kontali elder and vil-
lage council member, said of the Seabees.
“We wanted to invite them to experience
and enjoy our traditions. We want to show
them who we are and where we come
from.”
For nearly a year, Seabees attached to
Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Af-
rica have been working with village elders
to coordinate construction efforts and
plan renovations to modernize their local
schoolhouse. When completed, the project
will provide solar power and much-need-
ed renovations to the school.
According to U.S. Navy Chief Petty Of-
ficer Keith Genereux, NMCB 5’s Kon-
tali project senior enlisted leader, the re-
lationship the Seabees have built with the
people of Kontali has been one of the
strongest he has ever experienced.
“The village welcomed us with open
arms,”said Genereux. “This has been one
of the best symbiotic experiences I’ve had
throughout my 21 years in the Navy.”
The bond extends beyond the school-
house project and was further cemented
when the Kontali people invited the Sea-
bees to a fútbol match with students from
the school, Genereux said. The Seabees
provided jerseys for the students to wear
during the game as a way of thanking the
people of Kontali for the invitation.
“We have really integrated with the
whole community,” Genereux said. “It’s
great to be part of such a close team.”
Although the Seabees won, 1-0, both
sides claimed a victory in forming friend-
ships on the field.
“I think had the kids played the entire
game they would have beaten us,” Gener-
eux said. “But, luckily, the village adults
took pity on us and played for a fewmin-
utes.”
Following the game, the Seabees wit-
nessed and participated in a cultural fes-
tival that included traditional African
dances and a display of handmade items
from the village.
“We are a proud people with a proud
culture and heritage,” said Houmed Has-
san, a Kontali elder and village council
member. “Everything has a history. Ev-
erything has a story.”
The Kontali people shared stories from
their oral history in the formof three tra-
ditional dances. The first dance illustrated
a young Kontali man proposing marriage
to the woman he loved. Next, male per-
formers gathered to demonstrate a battle
between the young man who proposed
marriage and another man who was in
love with the same woman. Finally, the
young man, after defeating his challenger,
married his bride in a ceremony attended
by his friends and family.
After the dances, the Seabees viewed
handmade crafts made by some of the vil-
lagers and learned about the history be-
hind each item. Village council members
explained that the dances and the crafts
were an important part of the Kontali
heritage because they represented the his-
tory of the people and howthey tied into
the story of Africa.
Throughout the festival, they thanked
the service members for everything they
had done to promote regional stability by
working with the people to revitalize their
schoolhouse.
“We wanted to thank them, but we
weren’t sure how,”said Mohamed. “There
are no words to express our gratitude. No
one has ever done this before.”

with the village to make improvements to
their schoolhouse.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 3 are building a
training complex that will enable Seabee
battalions to conduct training specific to
their deployment missions.
This training facility, called a Seabee
Technical Trainer, will provide a place for
Seabees to train and develop technical
construction skills such as concrete form-
work, concrete finishing, masonry, subter-
ranean utilities, carpentry, pre-engineered
building fabrication, overhead power lines,
interior finishing and steel fabrication.
“We will be building the administrative
building, Module 3, and Module 4 of the
project,” said Builder 2nd Class (SCW)
Bo Watkins, a member of NMCB 3’s
Charlie Company and the crew leader of
the project. “The administrative building
will consist of one office and three bath-
rooms. Module 3 will be used for overhead
concrete pour training and dry material
storage. Module 4 will be constructed with
concrete walls and columns and will be
used for stair construction training.”
Company leadership is excited about the
technical trainer.
“The Seabee Technical Trainer will be
great for the battalion,”said Builder Chief
(SCW) Jesse Garcia-Montes of NMCB
3’s Charlie Company. “It will allow us to
schedule our training better and work
with our own troops on different con-
struction applications. We will be able to
better determine the skills our troops
need and give them the appropriate train-
ing.”
Currently, Seabees must be sent to for-
mal training sessions offered by the Na-
val Construction Training Center for
specific construction skills. With the
Technical Trainer complex, NMCB com-
mands at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, will be able to train their
Seabees more efficiently and with great-
er flexibility, saving time and money.
Chief Steelworker (SCW) Mike Bonifer
of the 30th Naval Construction Regiment
estimates the project will cost $580,000
and be completed in August 2012. Con-
struction began Sept. 27.
A Seabee Technical Trainer is also be-
ing constructed at the Naval Construc-
tion Battalion Center in Gulfport, Miss.,
and is expected to be complete in summer
2012.
NMCB3 is currently conducting home-
port operations in Port Hueneme and is
preparing for a spring deployment to
Europe and Africa.

command to focus on building skills that will be needed on missions.

MUSAQALE’H, Afghanistan
— Traversing a wadi amid the
swirling chaos of a Monday ba-
zaar, the Seabees of Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 4 continue the con-
struction of a low water crossing
that will keep the Musa Qal’eh
region connected throughout the
year.
“The local people have seen
what’s being done, they are an-
ticipating seeing how it’s going
to work,” said Lt. (j.g.) Jim Cor-
bett, officer in charge of the
project. “We have been told by
the Civil Affairs Group here that
the wadi crossing is more impor-
tant to the [residents] than elec-
tricity. They’re anxious and want
to see it get built!”
The construction site draws a
large crowd, sharing the wadi
with the Monday morning mar-
ket and displacing the familiar
traffic flow as the project grows
across the riverbed. The Afghans
are obviously impressed by the
roaring construction equipment,
coordination of the construction
crew and immensity of the struc-
ture that will soon be theirs to
use.
“This is the largest amount of
welding and steelwork that I
have been a part of in over 16
years in the Seabees,” said Chief
Steelworker Jonathan Swagerty.
“It’s gratifying both for me and
the troops to knowthat this proj-
ect is for the good of people in
the region.”
Steelworker Constructionman
Brittany Desroches called the
project exciting.
“It’s my first outside the wire,
the first with welding and it’s
cool to be part of such a large
project!” she said.
Joining the Seabees for this
project are Marine Corps weld-
ers from Combat Logistics Bat-
talion 6 (CLB 6) and the 7th
Engineer Support Battalion. The
Marines work and live with the
Navy Seabees and have become
a seamless part of opera-
tions.
“Our Marines have blended
in well with our team,” said
Senior Chief Steelworker Ed-
gar Walker.
Lance Cpl. Rosa Pineiro of
CLB 6 said it’s a different ex-
perience working with the Sea-
bees.
“We don’t often see senior
people work side-by-side with
junior troops,” she said. “I like
seeing it. It helps me stay mo-
tivated!”
With the rapt attention of
Afghans from around the area,
the Seabees and Marines work
tirelessly to fulfill the hope
they see in the watchful and
curious eyes of the populace
as the crossing is rapidly built
across the river bottom.

Built by the Seabees of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4, the Musa
Qale’h low water crossing is as wide as a two-lane highway and stands
eight to 10 feet above the riverbed. It is designed to allow year-round
traffic across the wadi to aid in commerce and regional stability.

The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Exceptional
Families
with Corey
Kendricks
FFSC
Well, here we are. It is November al-
ready, and the weather is starting to turn
colder — well, at least relatively colder
here in California — and thoughts are
turning to preparing for the holidays.
November is also Exceptional Family
Month at the Fleet and Family Support
Center, and while all military families are
exceptional in their own right, November
is a time to recognize families that are in
the Navy’s Exceptional Family Member
Program, also known as the EFM Pro-
gram.
This is also a good time to bring more
awareness to what the Exceptional Fam-
ily Member Program is and who quali-
fies.
The EFM Program is a quality-of-life
and detailing tool that is used by the mil-
itary to help ensure that service members
and their families are assigned to locations
that can meet the needs of the exception-
al family member.
So who exactly qualifies as an excep-
tional family member? The answer is
fairly simple: Family members with ongo-
ing medical, dental, mental or education-
al special needs that require ongoing treat-
ment for 12 months or longer usually
qualify for the EFM program.
Signing up is now easier with the intro-
duction of the EFMP enrollment request
in the Navy Family Accountability and
Assessment System, or NFAAS. By click-
ing on the enrollment request button un-
der a family member’s name, a request will
be sent out to the local Exceptional Fam-
ily Member Program liaison at the local
FFSC, who will then contact the service
member in order to help facilitate the en-
rollment process. Service members are also
more than welcome to come into the local
FFSC and speak with the EFMP liaison
directly.
But the big question is: What can the
Exceptional Family Member Program do
for service members and their families, and
why should they enroll?
Enrolling in the EFMPprogramenables
the Navy to take the special needs of a
service member’s family into consideration
when assigning duty stations. The EFMP
also allows for family members in certain
categories to remain in the same geograph-
ical area (homesteading) so that there is
a continuity of care for the family member
while the service member is still able to
meet their sea/shore rotation requirements.
Service members who have family mem-
bers in the EFM program also have ad-
ditional resources available to them, such
as the EFMliaisons, whohave a list of local
community resources for those with special
needs.
Those enrolled in EFMP may also qual-
ify for TRICARE‘s Extended Health Care
Option (ECHO), which is a cost-sharing
programthat helps payfor certaintherapies,
equipment andtreatments that are not gen-
erally covered under TRICARE’s other
plans.
In addition to possibly qualifying for
ECHO, family members may also qualify
for free respite care, sometimes up to 40
hours a month.
These are just some of the benefits of the
EFMProgram. The EFMPliaisonat FFSC
not only provides resources for family mem-
bers but also education and training about
the program for commands, service mem-
bers and families.
If you think you have a family member
who may qualify for EFMP, or if you have
questions about the program, contact the
local EFMP liaison, Corey Kendrick, at
982-3159 or [email protected].

nounced to play with your children is
a family issue that should be discussed
with all concerned.
If an emergency occurs, you are ad-
vised to treat it as any other emergency
and call 911. Medical and lawenforce-
ment personnel will contact the parent.
If the unattended children are causing
property or other damage, contact
Security.
It should also be noted that the Youth
Centers at Port Hueneme, Point Mugu

lambus, coordinator of the immunizations
office.
While everyone 6 months and older
should get a flu vaccine each flu season,
it’s especially important that the following
groups get vaccinated either because they
are at high risk of having serious flu-re-
lated complications or because they live
with or care for people at high risk for
developing flu-related complications:
• Pregnant women.
• Children younger than 5 (very impor-
tant for those under 2 years of age).
• People 50 years of age and older.
• People who live in nursing homes and
other long-term care facilities.
• People who live with or care for those
at high risk for complications from flu,
including health care workers , household
contacts of persons at high risk for com-
plications fromthe flu, household contacts
and out-of-home caregivers of children
younger than 6 months of age, as these
children are too young to be vaccinated.
For any question or concerns please call
the Preventive Medicine Division at 982-
6358, the Occupational and Environmen-
tal Health Department at 982-6434 or the
Naval Branch Health Clinic Port Huen-
eme at 982-6321.
