Lighthouse October 3, 2013

Vol. 13, No. 20 | Thursday, October 3, 2013 www.thelighthousenews.com
WHAT’S INSIDE
This edition of The Lighthouse
is printed on pink paper in recog-
nition of National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.
The Lighthouse and the 60 lo-
cal businesses advertising in this
special edition are helping fight
breast cancer: The Ventura Coun-
ty Star, which sells advertising for
The Lighthouse and publishes it
at no cost to the government, is
donating 5 percent of proceeds
from the advertising in today’s
pink edition to support this ef-
fort.
Breast cancer is the second
leading cause of death in women.
One in eight women in the United
States will develop invasive breast
cancer during her lifetime. But at
the same time, there are more than
2.9 million breast cancer survivors
in the United States — and that
rate of success keeps growing.
With this edition, the Navy rec-
ognizes andcelebrates the courage
and determination of the spouses,
friends and co-workers who are
battling breast cancer.
Later this year, two events at
Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, will pay tribute to sur-
vivors.
Oct. 19, a breast cancer survi-
vors tea will be held at the Navy
Exchange from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information, call 982-
6846.
And Nov. 1, the Seabee Chapel
will host an English Afternoon
Tea at 4 p.m. as a breast cancer
awareness, education and support
effort. For more information, call
982-4358.
The importance of early detec-
tion in fighting breast cancer can’t
be stressed enough. For more in-
formation, see Page 9.

Effective Tuesday, Oct. 1, a
government shutdown was ini-
tiated due to a lack of appropri-
ated funding for the new fiscal
year.
The shutdown affected sev-
eral facilities aboard Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC):
• The commissary was to
close Wednesday after remain-
ing open for regular business
hours Tuesday so the number
of perishables in the store could
be reduced.
• Pass & ID offices closed.
AKALgate guards were issuing
one-day passes at the gates, and
visitors were told to expect pos-
sible delays.
• Fleet & Family Support

Question: I get conficting answers when ask-
ing this question. I recently transferred to the Naval
Base Ventura County area and was wondering what
the policy is for wearing headphones while doing
PT on base. On Point Mugu the running area that is
measured out and used for PRTs is also a roadway,
and I have been told different things as far as wear-
ing of headphones while running on base. If you
could clarify, that would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: Thank you for allowing me to address
this question. You may be getting conficting answers
because the right answer depends on where you are
running.
According to NBVC Instruction 5100.1, “Safety
Policy for Running and Conduction of Physical
Training Onboard Naval Base Ventura County,”
individuals and small groups running along NBVC’s
roads are not authorized to wear headsets or ear-
phones. This is considered a safety issue, as you
may not be able to hear hazards, like vehicles,
traveling the road with you.
On the other hand, if you’re conducting physi-
cal training on a track or gym, headphones are
authorized, as the safety concern is diminished.
However, you should always check with your
command to be sure their policy allows head-
phones to be worn during physical training, as
they may be more restrictive in their uniform
policy than our own safety policy.
Keep the questions and feedback coming! You
can submit via this forum at lighthouse@navy.
mil, online using the CO’s Suggestion Box at
http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.
Facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. You can

In just the first hour, well over 100 job-
seekers had poured into Duke’s Place at
Naval Base Ventura County, Port Huen-
eme, Wednesday, Sept. 18, to meet with
representatives of 63 companies and col-
leges recruiting people who are looking
to leave the military or their federal
jobs.
By the end of the event, more than 350
had passed through the doors.
Among them was Construction Me-
chanic 3rd Class Daniel Moore of Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion 5.
“I have a year to decide whether to stay
in the military, and if I choose not to, I’ll
get out in 22 months,”he said. “I’m look-
ing at the opportunities.”
Senior Chief Logistics Specialist John
Lingad of the Naval Facilities Engineering
and Expeditionary Warfare Center doesn’t
have as many options. He’s retiring in 18
months.
Asked how long it’s been since he’s had
a job interview, he manages only a slight
smile.
“It’s been a long time,” he said. “I’ve
been in 24 years.”
He described his visit to the career fair,
sponsored by the Fleet & Family Support
Center (FFSC), as a first step.
“I’m preparing myself for the next lev-
el after retirement,” he said.

Amid a crowd of thousands, they stood
out. Their white Navy uniforms gleaming,
their polished black shoes glistening, they
looked like proud and true Americans
— and in a few minutes, they would be.
Three students at the Naval Construc-
tion Training Center at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme, became
naturalized U.S. citizens this summer in a
massive ceremony at the Los Angeles Con-
vention Center. By the end of August 21,
2013, the United States would have more
than 7,000 newAmericans in Los Angeles
alone, including Construction Mechanic
Constructionmen Ning Yang, Yonatan
Abebe and Erik Garibay.

For 24 years, Percy Trent Jr. has been a
customer of the Navy.
Now, as the command master chief of
Naval Base Ventura County, he’s one of
the people providing the services — and
he’s the one who has to make sure Sailors
get what they need and that morale stays
high.
Luckily, he says, “things are running
smoothly.”
The big challenge he sees is making sure
it stays that way — and that services
change when they need to.
“Keeping things fresh and relevant —
that’s important,” he says.
Trent moves into Building 1 during a
time of change and challenge for the Navy.
Sequestration has forced the cancellation
of many morale-building events on base.
Transition programs continue to evolve
as the Navy downsizes. Same-sex marriage
—a politically volatile issue across Amer-
ica — is being recognized by the Depart-
ment of Defense. Congress has the mili-
tary under the microscope as reports of
sexual abuse skyrocket.
“As leaders, it’s our duty to continue to
educate our troops,” Trent says. “As with
anything, the slow-drip method works best
— talking about issues like sexual abuse
and domestic violence and keeping every-
one constantly aware — instead of flood-

That week in the fall when children get
out of school early due to parent-teach-
er conferences is fast approaching. Par-
ents, it may not be easy to get released
from work to attend that conference, but
it is important that you make every ef-
fort. Please remember that schools do
not succeed in a bubble. Parent-teacher
conferences are one way for parents to
be involved in their student’s educa-
tion.
Before your conference with your
child’s teacher, there are a few things to
consider:
• If a parent is deployed but wants to
be involved, ask the teacher if the confer-
ence can be done via email, if it can be
videotaped or audiotaped, or maybe
conducted via phone if the deployed par-
ent is able.
• If you have more than one child in
the school, please ask teachers to work
together to schedule appointments one
after the other. For child care and work
leave purposes, this is ideal.
• Find child care for your student dur-
ing the conference. This allows the teach-
er to be honest with you about assess-
ments of your child.
It is also important to remember that
the conference is an opportunity for both
parent and teacher to discuss the stu-
dent’s progress and concerns. This means
that parents should arrive at the confer-
ence prepared for the discussion.
Here are some hints to help prepare
parents for the conference:
• Be prepared to ask questions. Write
down any concerns you may have prior
to the conference so you don’t forget
what you want to discuss, such as: Is your
child participating in class? What sub-
jects does he or she enjoy most? What
subjects seem the most difficult?
• Talk with your child before the con-
ference. Find out about any problems at
school or if there are any other concerns
to be addressed.
• Be positive during the conference.
Remember you are both there to help
your child succeed. Don’t react defen-
sively if your teacher brings up some-
thing negative. You are there to work
together to solve any problems.
• Work together to create a plan of
action. Creating a specific plan will allow
both you and the teacher to monitor
progress throughout the school year.
• Discuss the social aspect of school
as well as academic. Does your child get
along with other students?
• Keep the conference positive. Al-
though you need to know about any
problems your child may be having, the
conference should focus on solutions.
• Set up a way to continue communica-
tion. It could be via weekly phone calls
or by email. Continued contact will help
keep you apprised of any potential prob-
lems and will allow you to let the teach-
er know if there are any problems at
home.
When the conference is over, parent
and teacher should feel comfortable with
one another and agree to work together
to help the child succeed. As parents,
ensure that any plans discussed in the
conference are followed up on at home.
Children’s success depends on parents
and schools working together.

Northrop Grumman Corpora-
tion turned on the power to the
U.S. Navy’s first MQ-8C Fire
Scout unmanned helicopter and
rotated the aircraft’s four blades
for the first time during initial
ground testing and engine runs
at Naval Base Ventura County,
Point Mugu, Sept. 20.
Conducting initial engine runs
of the aircraft allows engineers
to collect data to ensure that all
the aircraft’s systems are func-
tioning and communicating
properly prior to its first flight.
“Completion of these tests
signifies our steady progress to-
ward the first flight of the MQ-
8C Fire Scout,” said George
Vardoulakis, vice president of
medium range tactical systems
at Northrop Grumman. “We
continue to work closely with
our Navy customer, ensuring
that the Fire Scout system is
checked out and ready before
operational use.”
This latest aircraft upgrade to
the Fire Scout system provides
the Navy with more than twice
the endurance and three times
the payload carrying capacity,
enabling an unprecedented level
of persistent surveillance, intel-
ligence and reconnaissance ca-
pability.
Northrop Grumman is the
Navy’s prime contractor for the
Fire Scout program and is cur-
rently under contract to produce
MQ-8C aircraft for deployment
beginning in 2014.
Northrop Grumman is a lead-
ing global security company
providing innovative systems,
products and solutions in un-
manned systems, cyber, C4ISR,
and logistics and modernization
to government and commercial
customers worldwide.

As an avid outdoor enthusiast, I have
always enjoyed the local nature’s beauty
wherever I am stationed. I have dived in
gorgeous water in Guam, where I was
sent on my first Navy assignment, and
this year I was blessed to experience one
of America’s crown jewels: Yellowstone
National Park.
I went on a guided bus tour with my
momto Wyoming’s Yellowstone, arguably
one of the most breathtaking places I
have ever seen in my life.
While strolling through the park one
evening after supper, I observed wild deer
grazing without a care in the world, white
sulfurous vapors billowing to the skies
from hot springs as the amazing back-
drop.
“Heavens and the earth declares the
glory of God,” states the Psalmist from
the Holy Scriptures. I definitely say amen
to that.
Once again, I am grateful we live some-
place close to so many of the preserved
national parks that we take for granted.
I was reminded of this when I met many
foreign visitors who had saved money for
years so they could make their pilgrimage
to Yellowstone, which, along with Yo-
semite and the Grand Canyon, is one of
the three “crown jewels” of America’s
national park system.
For those of us who are fortunate
enough to live here in our current duty
station, there is an incredible bucket list
of places within a few hours’ drive away,
including Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Red-
wood and Channel Islands national
parks.
Probably my favorite traveler on the
trip to Yellowstone was a guy named Mi-
chael who works at a candy factory. Ev-
ery year he saves his money so he can
visit one of the many national parks on
his list. When I told him I lived in Port
Hueneme, he rattled off four or five na-
tional parks that he would love to visit
someday.
One of the best things you may want
to do with your family or loved ones is
to plan a vacation to our national parks.
Oftentimes, they give great ticket dis-
counts to senior citizens and active duty
military personnel. I can’t think of a bet-
ter experience for your children than for
them to see live animals and experience
incredible scenery in a natural state.
If you have an opportunity to take your
leave or vacation time before the year
ends, go and see God’s amazing handi-
work in our national parks.
May God bless you all!

“Sol lucet,”Latin for “The sun is shining”
— all meaning the “Book and Binder
Bash” at the Seabee Chapel was going
well.
Every third Friday is Family Fun Night
at the chapel, located at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme. The month-
ly events are organized by Bethany Dodds,
whose husband, Builder 2nd Class Thad
Dodds, is with Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 3.
“It’s a time for fellowship and family,”
she said. “It’s so kids and the parents can
get together.”
The Sept. 20 evening featured an arts
and crafts project. As religious-themed
videos and music played in the back-
ground, children used crayons and colored
markers to decorate paper that would slide
into the binder covers. Moms chatted, and
toddlers pieced puzzles together on the
floor.
Lily Mayhugh, 4, her sister Emma, 7,
and a neighbor squeezed glitter glue to
decorate their binders.
“My husband is deployed,” explained
Deb Mayhugh, whose husband is Lt. j.g.
Benjamin Mayhugh of NMCB 3. “I was
looking for something to do on a Friday
night with the kids.”
The next Family Fun Night is a Harvest
Fest, with games and candy. It’s scheduled
for Friday, Oct. 25, from 5:30 to 7:30
p.m.
Friday, Nov. 15, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.,
will be an evening to give thanks — com-
plete with pumpkin pie and ice cream.
And to celebrate the holidays, Friday,
Dec. 13, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. will be an
ornament-making and gift-wrapping
event.
For more information on Family Fun
Nights, call the Seabee Chapel at 982-

Speaking up and ensuring that employ-
ees who are struggling get the help they
need is critical to stopping the scourge of
workplace violence.
That’s the message being put out by the
U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service
(NCIS) — a message that took on new
urgency with the Washington, D.C., Navy
Yard shootings last month.
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
has been spared from workplace violence
incidents due in part to early reporting
by concerned employees, said Supervi-
sory Special Agent Matthew Clement of
the NCIS office on base.
“We hope that trend continues,”he said.
“The key is to head it off before it hap-
pens.”
He said it’s important for people to re-
alize that workplace violence is a process
— a way of thinking and behaving that
can often be spotted early on.
The idea that employees strike without
warning or clues is a myth, he said, as is
the belief that homicide is the ultimate
goal.
NCIS is stressing these points:
• The origin of workplace violence is
usually a tension- or anxiety-based event
or conflict. It can be a single major event
or several minor events that add up in the
employee’s mind.
• The employee may blame others for
the problembut will often try appropriate
avenues for a solution, such as filing a
complaint, grievance or lawsuit prior to
an episode of workplace violence.
• At some point, the idea originates that
violence is the solution. After that will
come the clues that a violent act is being
carefully thought out and logistically pre-
pared.
Early warning signs can include obses-
sions and fixations, as well as continued
discussion of perceived threats of harm,
rejection or abandonment. The problem
can be exacerbated if the employee has
poor coping skills or no social support
system. In time, the person might begin
to see violence as the only solution.
Sometimes, Clement warned, talk is just
talk.
“Alot of things turn out to be nothing,”
he said. “Not everything turns violent.
But getting people referred for help is
critical. It’s the people who aren’t getting
the assistance they need that pose the
most danger.”
Co-workers who see these types of be-
havior are urged to report it to command
leadership, where arrangements can be
made for help and intervention.
“In cases that did turn violent, we’re
always finding that there were signs that
were dismissed or ignored,”Clement said.
“But after-the-fact doesn’t do anyone any
good.”
Employees are encouraged to utilize the
Employee Assistance Program adminis-
tered by the Office of Personnel Manage-
ment (www.opm.gov), which includes free,
voluntary, short-term counseling and re-
ferral for various issues affecting employ-
ee mental and emotional well-being.
NCIS has an anonymous tip line as well
as a website. People can report suspicious
behavior anonymously to 800-543-6289,
text to NCIS 274637 (CRIMES) or log
on to www.ncis.navy.mil and submit in-
formation.
“Ultimately, this is a people problem,”
Clement said. “If someone is struggling,
if someone needs help, help is avail-
able.”
Concerned employees can help prevent workplace violence
A lot of things turn out to be nothing. Not
everything turns violent. But getting people
referred for help is critical. It’s the people who
aren’t getting the assistance they need that
pose the most danger.

The government’s new fiscal year
starts this week, and the Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) encour-
ages service members and their families
to start it off on the right foot.
While Washington focuses on strength-
ening the nation’s economic growth, ef-
forts can be made at home to improve
and strengthen a family budget.
The Fiscal Year 2014 Budget of the
U.S. Government has a section outlining
support for service members, veterans
and their families. As America strives
to fulfill this solemn obligation, families
here at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) have to enact their own com-
mitments to stabilize and secure their
finances.
One way to do this is to balance the
family budget by tracking everything
coming in and going out. This leads to
a better idea of where money is being
spent and how to start a savings plan.
As 2014 is quickly approaching, so are
the holidays. NMCRS can help families
project their end-of-the-year expenses,
including holiday presents, travel, ship-
ping costs and added groceries.
Here are a few ways to minimize these
costs.
• Shipping: Try and ship all presents
to one house, as this will ease both the
hassle and cost of multiple shipments.
The earlier the better. Ship presents be-
fore the rush to get lower rates and avoid
having to do two-day air!
• Travel: Book as early as possible for
lower prices. Check online fare trackers
and try to be flexible with dates. Also
remember to ask about military baggage
fee waivers.
• DIY: Hand-crafted cards and pres-
ents cut back on costs and are more
cherished. Drawing names for a gift ex-
change saves on the number of presents
given and, of course, associated cost.
Avoid the pitfalls of gift cards. Even
though some do not expire, millions go
unused each year.
• Groceries: Use the free food distribu-
tion on base as a way to stock up on
items for the holidays. Check commis-
sary.com for specials as well as local
grocery stores for specials.
• Halloween: Costumes made from
scratch are cheaper than ones bought at
the store. Visit the NMCRS Thrift Store
for items and ideas.
As always, everyone is invited to stop
by the NMCRS office for free budget
counseling.
NMCRS can help you with
solid start to new fiscal year
• The NMCRS office is open from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. It
is located in the NBVC Port Hueneme
Welcome Center, 2600 Dodson St., Suite
1. Information: 982-4409.
• The NMCRS Thrift Shop is open from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays and Wednes-
days and is located in Bldg. 829, at the
corner of Harris Street and 15th Avenue,
NBVC Port Hueneme.
• Start the new fiscal year right with a
budget makeover and be entered to win a
makeover for yourself or your spouse! Call
982-4409, email [email protected] or
visit our Facebook page for more de-
tails.
• National Coffee Day contest: Through
Oct 15. Make your own home-brewed cof-
fee and save money! Post or email a picture
and the amount saved to be entered to win
a Green Mountain Coffee basket. More
details on our Facebook page.
• Budget for Baby: Oct. 8, 10 to 11:30
a.m., NMCRS Office. RSVP by phone,
email or Facebook

Breast cancer is one of the most
common types of cancer in women.
It is the second leading cause of
death for all women. Men can get
breast cancer, but it is very rare.
Breast cancer screening is essential
preventive care for women. Early
breast cancer usually does not cause
pain and may cause no symptoms.
According to the Naval Medical
Information Management Center,
there are some steps you can take to
detect breast cancer early.
You should practice “breast self
awareness.” This means understand-
ing the normal appearance and feel
of your breasts so that you can bet-
ter notice any changes.
A monthly breast self-exam is
critical for detecting breast cancer
before it spreads. Changes to look
for are:
• A change in the size or shape of
your breast.
• A change in color or feel of the
skin of the breast, areola or nip-
ple.
• A lump or thickening in or near
the breast or under the arms.
• Signs of discharge from your
nipple, especially blood.
Do not disregard sharp pains in
your breast.
Any changes detected, no matter
how small, should be reported to
your health care provider.
Women in their 20s and 30s should
have a clinical breast exam by a
health care provider as part of a
regular health exam every one to
three years. After age 40, women
should have a clinical breast exam
every year.
Starting at age 40, women should
consider having a mammogram every
year. Mammograms are recommend-
ed every one to two years for women
after age 50.
Women who have a family history
of breast cancer should talk to their
health care provider about genetic
screening.
Certain conditions and circum-
stances place some women at risk for
developing breast cancer. Many of
these risks are out of your control,
such as a family history of breast
cancer. However, three risk factors
that you can do something about are
drinking too much alcohol, smoking
and obesity.
For more information or to sched-
ule an appointment with your health
care provider, call the Medical Home
Port Green Team at 982-6342 or
Medical Home Port Blue Team at
982-6321 at the Naval Branch Health
Clinic Port Hueneme.
Breast cancer can be detected early
Waterfowl season begins Oct. 19.
Blind assignments for opening day

an annual fee, register their shot-
guns and fill out a DD Form
2760.
The test will be administered at
noon Thursday, Oct. 10, in the con-
ference room of Bldg. 632, in the
southwest corner of the building.
Registration forms and DD Form
2760 will also be available. Shotgun

Retired Seabees who served
with Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 3 during the battalion’s
long and storied history spent
some time last month touring
their old homeport at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme and chatting about the
days when they were younger and
full of adventure.
Among the 145 people at the
Sept. 19-22 reunion was retired
Equipment Operator 3rd Class
Lynn “A.J.” Poeppe, who came
from Iowa with a motorcycle he
had restored as a tribute to the
battalion.
Called the “NMCB 3 Vietnam
Tribute Bike,”the motorcycle has
been featured in cycling shows
and magazines.
Poeppe joined the Navy in 1966
and the battalion in 1967, retiring
in 1969. Now 65, he spent some
time in front of the Seabee Mu-
seum, recalling his time in Viet-
nam and explaining why he had
the bike restored.
“I lost four really good friends
over there while I was serving,”
he said. “I had to do something
because of them. I just wanted to
honor them—and everyone who
served.”
The bike and accompanying
leather jacket pay tribute to the
“Ghost Battalion.” During the
Vietnam War, the Seabees built
an airfield at what was called Site
X in Quang Tri. According to an
article published by the U.S. Navy
Seabee Museum, “One of the
major issues the Seabees faced
was moving 11,000 Vietnamese

graves which were in the middle of
the projected air facility. After two
weeks, and in close cooperation with
Vietnamese officials, the Seabees
moved the graves in accordance with
local customs and traditions. This
earned the construction men the name
‘Ghost Battalion.’ That name stayed
with the Seabees until the task at Site
X was completed.”
Describing the tribute bike as his
“passion,” Poeppe began arranging
for the restoration in 2000. The mo-
torcycle was completed about three
years later. He’s hauled it to several
reunions, where it always draws a
crowd.
This year, the cycle caught the eye
of Lt. James Basile of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 22. He’d ar-
rived at NBVC Port Hueneme Wednes-
day, Sept. 18, and the next day de-
cided to visit the Seabee Museum. It
was already closed, but Poeppe was
there with his bike and fellow retiree
Lee Shotwell of Pharr, Texas.
It took seconds before the three
were sharing stories about Seabee life
— then and now.
Shotwell commented that he’d been
at the Port Hueneme base 49 years ago
and that he’d met the namesake of a
neighboring building — Marvin
Shields, the first and only Seabee to
receive the Medal of Honor.
“That’s fantastic!” Basile said, eager
to hear more.
They chatted at length, and before
leaving, Basile thanked the two vet-
erans for their service.
“You paved the way for us,” he told
them. “Hopefully the next generation
will appreciate it as well.”

NSWC PHD
Rear Adm. Thomas K. Shannon, com-
mander of Military Sealift Command,
spent several hours last month touring the
Underway Replenishment (UNREP) Test
Site at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port
Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD).
Initially in town Sept. 5 to meet with
four-star Gen. WilliamA. Fraser III, com-
mander of the U.S. Transportation Com-
mand, Shannon set aside time to see the
Port Hueneme Division’s newest replenish-
ment system in action and speak directly
with the UNREP team.
“I would like to personally thank you
all for what you do for the fleet,” said
Shannon. “The Navy comes to a halt with-
out us doing what we do. It’s an honorable
living, and I cannot thank you enough.”
Known as the Heavy Electric Standard
Tensioned Replenishment Alongside
Method (E-STREAM), the newUNREP
systemcan transfer heavier loads at great-
er speeds.
Shannon witnessed a demonstration of
the systemand got the opportunity to take
the controls. Upon completing a transfer
load, he claimed it to be “the most fun
he’s had on the job” since assuming his
current position.
Military Sealift Command is NSWC
PHD’s primary UNREP fleet customer
that operates Combat Logistic Force ships.
The Port Hueneme Division’s Heavy UN-
REP systemwas recently installed aboard
USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8), which is cur-
rently on its first deployment.

NSWC PHD
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port
Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) has
received the Department of Defense
(DoD) Fiscal 2012 Value Engineering
Achievement Award for the Aegis Direc-
tors Material Reconditioning Program
and its $28 million cost avoidance for fis-
cal 2013.
InconjunctionwithNSWCCrane, PHD
developed and implemented the refurbish-
ment project to further the life of existing
MK 99 Fire Control System directors
found aboard Aegis cruisers and destroy-
ers.
The reconditioning process, at a cost of
$250,000 per director, avoids $2 million
in fabrication costs and ensures the equip-
ment lasts for the entire hull-life of a
ship.
“This is a huge accomplishment reflec-
tive of the talent, dedication and innova-
tive spirit of the PHD workforce,” said
Capt. Burt Espe, NSWCPHDcommand-
er. “PHD strives to ensure that we main-
tain the current U.S. fleet as effectively
and efficiently as possible without risking
the quality of the product. This award
shows that we have done just that and is
representative of the ongoing work per-
formed by this command.”
The need for preserving current direc-
tors surfaced when the original equipment
manufacturer restricted production to
only new-construction ships, leaving the
current fleet’s directors to corrode over
time unless replaced at a substantial price.
Leveraging PHD’s life-cycle sustainment
expertise, command engineers and techni-
cians identified a solution that now sends
the directors to NSWC Crane for recon-
ditioning at a fraction of the replacement
cost.
“This was a team effort,” said Gerald
Ruedy, Fire Control Systems branch man-
ager. “The PHD team has always been
solid in their efforts to provide an excellent
product to the fleet.”
Those involved with the NSWC PHD
reconditioning program include Ruedy,
Ali Ardebili, Chuong Cat, Cedric Chiu,
Michael Connolly, Alex Fedele, Dat Ho,
Brenda Lopez-Marquez, Lloyd Lovelace,
Spencer Momon, David Ohlinger and
Gary Szymczak.
This is the seventh consecutive year that
PHDhas won the DoDValue Engineering
Achievement Award.

UCT-2
KAUAI, Hawaii — Diving in the Pa-
cific Ocean off the Pacific Missile Range
Facility (PMRF), Seabee divers assigned
to Underwater Construction Team 2
(UCT-2) spent two months conducting
maintenance and repair on the world’s
largest underwater training range.
The project represents both valuable
operational experience for UCT-2 and
much-needed maintenance to the range.
“PMRF is a valuable training ground,”
said Mike Dick, range manager. “The un-
derwater cables allowcommunication and
tracking capabilities with submarines dur-
ing underwater training exercises.
“We have tried to accomplish this mis-
sion with commercial units, but no one
has been able to match the quality, effi-
ciency or cost savings provided by the
Seabees. They have been invaluable in the
maintenance of this range.”
The teamput in six-day work weeks cor-
recting damage due to abrasion, corrosion
and sand-scouring from winter storms.
They inspected cable systems, installed and
stabilized protective split pipe and replaced
cathodic protection. Their total of 86 dives
ranged from7 to 110 feet with a total bot-
tom time of 216 hours.
“It is a privilege to be able to dive in
such clear and warm water,” said Steel-
worker 1st Class James Kirk. “Usually our
diving conditions are dark and cold wa-
ter.”

The repairs and maintenance ensure
that the range will remain operational to
support future fleetwide exercises.
Seabee divers are a special breed of the
Navy Seabees, possessing both the con-
struction skills of a Seabee and the skills
of a deep-sea diver. They come from Na-
val Construction Battalions, where they
hone their individual job skills in the con-
struction field and then spend six months
at the Naval Diving Salvage Training Cen-
ter, learning the application of those skill
sets in an underwater environment. This
makes themunique within both the Seabee
and diver communities.
UCT-2 was able to do some commu-
nity outreach while at the range, providing
an orientation brief to a group of Civil
Air Patrol cadets from Worcester, Mass.,
during a range tour.
The divers explained what Seabee divers
do and what equipment they use. The ori-
entation included a look at different types
of dive gear, a recompression chamber and
support crafts.
The 14-member dive team also volun-
teered a day’s worth of construction skills
at the Kauai Habitat for Humanity.
“I felt honored to have helped provide
a positive impact in the Kauai commu-
nity,” said Chief Hospital Corpsman
Timothy Kerr. “It’s nice to get back to
‘old-fashioned’ Seabee work some-
times.”
“The PMRF cable project was a great
experience,”said Chief Construction Elec-
trician Adam Winters. “It combined
world-class diving with blue-collar hard
work.”
The next deployment stop for UCT-2 is
Timor Leste, where the divers will con-
struct a rubble mound pier and conduct
both dive and construction training with
the Timorese military.

Navy Ball set for Oct. 11
U.S. government shutdown
Center (FFSC) offices at NBVC Point
Mugu closed. The FFSC offices at Port
Hueneme maintained normal hours.
• The NBVC Housing Office closed.
Emergencies were being reported as nor-
mal through the Pride contract at 805-
982-6789. Lincoln Military Housing of-
fices remained open.
• The NBVC small arms range closed.
• The Seabee Museum closed.
The following services were operating
with normal hours:
• Navy Exchange.
• Health and dental clinics, including
the pharmacy.
• Child & Youth Programs.
• Galleys.
• Unaccompanied housing.
• Facilities operated by Morale, Welfare
and Recreation, including the Seabee Golf
Course, fitness and aquatics centers, bowl-
ing alleys, movie theaters, liberty centers,
Flightline Cafe, Bard Mansion and The
Hangar.
• Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.
• Chapels.
• Air operations.
• Port operations.
• Security patrols and the Federal Fire
Department.
• Navy Lodge.
• FOCUS, which provides resiliency
training for military families.
Congress failed to pass a Fiscal Year
2014 budget or continuing resolution by
Sept. 30, which meant that effective Oct.
1, programs dependent on appropriated
funding were required to close their doors
until a budget can be passed.
Department of Defense (DoD) civil-
ians, who had already been furloughed
for 48 hours during the summer, were not
permitted to work during the shutdown
unless they were in an “excepted” posi-
tion. This included fire and police person-
nel.
An eleventh-hour measure known as
the “Pay Our Military Act” ensured that
military members and excepted civilians
working during the shutdown would con-
tinue to be paid on time, rather than ret-
roactively as previously planned.
Services affected by the shutdown in-
cluded anything not directly related to
operational missions or life, health and
safety of the Fleet, Fighter and Family.

When he was stationed in San Di-
ego, Lt. Todd Fowler found out about
the free pizzas.
He brought the secret with him to
Naval Base Ventura County, Point
Mugu, where he’s the chaplain for
Commander Airborne Command
Control and Logistics Wing.
And that explains why 87 pizzas
were recently delivered to Hawkeye
Country, the hangar for the four Car-
rier Airborne Command and Control
Squadrons on base.
The shipments, valued at about
$800, arrive every few months, thanks
to Fowler.
The money comes from the Armed
Services YMCA. Fowler learned the
program paid for free pizzas at Ma-
rine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, but
there was nothing at Point Mugu. So
he contacted the organization and
arranged for Naval Base Ventura
County to be included in the pro-
gram.
He shops around so he can get the
most pizza for the buck.
“It’s a great deal,” he said.

No one knows when it will happen, but
once every couple of months, a homemade
meal arrives at Hawkeye Country, the E-
2C hangar that’s home to the four Car-
rier Airborne Early Warning Squadrons
(VAWs) at Naval Base Ventura County,
Point Mugu.
Eight trays of meatballs — nearly 300
in all — load up the counterspace and
draw a crowd.
“They’re so good!” says Logistics Spe-
cialist 1st Class Tara Andersen with VAW-
113. “By 10:30 in the morning, everyone’s
eating them.”
Watching with a big smile — but bare-
ly sampling them because she doesn’t like
Italian food — is the chef, Stephanie
Tagliaferri, a contract employee who’s
responsible for the power systems in the
hangar and on the flightline.
“It’s one of the two things that I can
cook really well,”she says, adding that she
has no plans to bring in 300 Italian veal
cutlets.
Tagliaferri calls the project “Random
Acts of Meatballs.” She picks a morning
when no one is in training, then starts
working about four days prior. She makes
sure she has all the ingredients — includ-
ing 40 pounds of hamburger “and a par-
ticular kind of grated cheese” — then
spends the entire day before cooking. She
buys 240 rolls just before hauling every-
thing to her office refrigerator around 8
p.m. — “They have to be fresh,” she says
— then delivers the crockpots ready to
heat in the morning.
She started her “Random Acts” a de-
cade ago when she worked with the Fleet
Readiness Center. She’d bring in enough
meatballs for 10 or 20 people, and then
when she moved over to the squadrons
four years ago, she upped it to 100 peo-
ple.
“Not everyone was getting some, so I
made more,” she explained.
Many of those she’s cooking for are half
her age, and she knows they appreciate a
good home-cooked meal.
“They live in the barracks and they don’t
get homemade food,” she said. “I get a
meatball budget frommy company; I wish
‘Random Acts of Meatballs’ a staple at Hawkeye Country

Squadron (VAW) 113 slices a meatball on a recent
“Random Acts of Meatballs” day at Hawkeye Country,
Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu.
other companies would support folks who would
like to cook for our Sailors.”
Tagliaferri has spent her career working in the
male-dominated world of power systems. She was
the rare female earning an associate’s degree in elec-
trical engineering in 1982 at Pierce College in Wood-
land Hills, then she got her first job in research and
development at Teledyne in Northridge.
“I started at the very bottom,” she said. “I’ve
learned so much! I’ve gotten to travel around the
United States, and many times I was the only wom-
an making the trip.”
But through all those travels, one thing never
changed: She doesn’t like Italian food.
“I was a kid in a poor Italian family,”she explains.
“All we ever had was pasta.”
But she knows others love it, and that’s why she
continues her “Random Acts,” hoping that others
will follow suit.
“I’ve never worked for a finer group,” she said.
“I’m proud of who they are, and they make me
happy. So every time I cook the meatballs, I mix in
gratitude and sprinkle in a little love.”
Ingredients
5 pounds hamburger (15 percent fat)
24-oz. tin of Progresso Italian bread crumbs
16-oz. container of Kraft Parmesan or La Romanella grated
cheese
Lawry’s Garlic Salt
3 or 4 eggs
Prego Traditional sauce
In a large bowl break up the hamburger. Sprinkle two-thirds
of the tin of bread crumbs over the hamburger. Sprinkle
about 13 ounces of the grated cheese over the hamburger and
the bread crumbs. Sprinkle garlic salt over ingredients. Add
eggs.
Mix all ingredients. Mix in lots of gratitude and a sprinkle
of love.
Form meatballs.
To bake
Use a pan that can catch the drippings.
Spray pan with Pam non-stick spray. Bake at 350 degrees
for about 15 minutes, turn over the meatballs and cook for
another 13 minutes. Check a meatball in the center of the
pan. If It’s cooked, they all are. You may need to cook a
little longer, depending on your oven.
Place meatballs in the sauce. If serving now, warm sauce
first.
Makes about 60 meatballs.

Dozens of charities visited Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) last
month to persuade federal employ-
ees to give to their cause as the
Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC) kicked off a new season.
This year’s CFC chairman at
NBVC, Capt. Mark K. Edelson,
spoke Tuesday, Sept. 17, at NBVC
Point Mugu and the next day at
NBVC Port Hueneme, urging fed-
eral workers to dig a little deeper so
that the neediest in the county, the
nation and the world can get help.
Some of those who attended said
that even with the furlough earlier
this year and a tough economy, they
have no intention of cutting back.
“I contribute every year,”said Son
Nguyen, an electronic warfare en-
gineer who has worked for the fed-
eral government for 31 years. “I give
to Vietnam veterans’ groups. I ap-
preciate them and what they’ve
done.”
Naval Aircrewman Avionics 1st
Class Robert Skinner of Air Test
and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30
said he also gives to the CFC, but
he tries to find small, locally based
organizations that don’t have the
budget to advertise or court big do-
nors.
“Wherever I’m stationed, I try to
find charities like that to give to
— local groups that help the local
area,” he explained. “They’re usu-
ally food pantries or no-kill animals
shelters. They don’t have the oppor-
tunities to raise awareness like oth-
ers do.”
Tuesday’s kickoff at Point Mugu
drew representatives from 15 orga-
nizations explaining what their
charities do, and Wednesday’s at the
Seabee Museum featured 24. Both

days, St. John’s Healthcare brought a van
for free wellness checks.
Terri Belkin, campaign director for the
CFC’s Gold Coast region — made up of
Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties — said this year’s goal is
$800,000, the same as last year. The region
fell just short last year, bringing in
$771,000.
The number of federal workers in the
Gold Coast region has fallen through the
years. Less than a decade ago, the area had
28,000 federal employees; today there are
22,000. That number includes personnel at
both NBVC and Vandenberg Air Force
Base, the Air National Guard, all post of-
fices and all other federal offices, including
Social Security and the Internal Revenue
Service.
“That’s been a problem,” Belkin said.
“We don’t have the numbers like we did.”
Nonetheless, she added, giving remains
a priority for many people.
“People have been really generous,” she
said. “They realize other people have needs
and that those needs aren’t going away.”
The CFCbooklet lists 2,800 charities and
what they do. It also lists what percentage
of the funds raised goes to each charity’s
operating expenses.
The kickoff events were held at lunch-
time, and the Acey-Deucy Association,
made up of first- and second-class petty
officers fromthe Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing andExpeditionary Warfare Center, sold
hot dogs and hamburgers to those who’d
given up their lunch hour to attend.
“I wanted to help out,”Master-at-Arms
2nd Class Jerry Baker said as he flipped a
couple of burgers. “And I like cooking.”

at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons
Division, gets ready to have lunch as the

says he supports the campaign every year,
giving mostly to charities that help veterans
of the Vietnam War.

EO3 Daniel Jozayt of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 maneuvers through a
water-tight hatch, or “scuttle” during last month’s tour of the guided-missile destroyer USS
Stethem (DDG 63).

OKINAWA, Japan — Nearly two doz-
en Seabee steelworkers fromNaval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 met
the “Steelworkers”of USS Stethem(DDG
63) during a tour last month of the Arleigh
Burke-class guided-missile destroyer.
According to the tour guide, Fire Con-
trolman 1st Class Travis Boatwright, the
Sept. 4 visit provided an opportunity for
Seabees to see the dynamics of shipboard
life and pay homage to DDG 63’s name-
sake. The ship is named after Steelworker
2nd Class Robert Stethem, a Seabee diver
who was murdered in Beirut during the
1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847.
“It was great to be able to show some
actual steelworkers the ship,” Boatwright
said. “It’s an amazing crew that does its
best to live up to the Seabee steelworker
name.”

For the Seabees, seeing coffin
lockers and tunneling through
scuttles — water-tight doors —
provided a classic Navy experi-
ence for a group more accus-
tomed to jungle warfare, desert
patrols andMarine Corps-guid-
ed combat training.
“The junior warfighters who
have never seen a ship were
blownawaybythe customs, tight
living conditions and the basic
compactness of shipboard life,”
saidSteelworker 1st Class Avery
Thomas. “It gave themsome true
appreciation for their chosen
career path and a rare chance to
identify with a side of the Navy
they may never fully experi-
ence.”
USS Stethem is part of De-
stroyer Squadron 15, forward
deployed to Yokosuka, Japan,
supporting security andstability
in the Indo-Asia-Pacific re-
gion.

OKINAWA, Japan – Jan. 12, 2010, an
earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, killed
more than 200,000 people and left 1 mil-
lion more homeless and helpless. Schools,
hospitals and homes were destroyed, re-
sulting in billions in damage and an entire
nation stranded. Three years later, more
than half a million people in Port-au-
Prince are still living in tents, with running
water regaled as a luxury.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the
Pacific Region face similar natural disas-
ters.
Friday, Sept. 27, Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 3 success-
fully completed a critical Mount Out
Exercise (MOE), testing the Seabees’ abil-
ity to execute humanitarian assistance and
disaster relief operations anywhere in the
Pacific.
“The main focus of the exercise is to
show that we are capable of effectively
getting our troops and equipment de-
ployed as quickly as possible — no later
than 48 hours,” said NMCB 3’s embark
officer, Ensign Levi Reed. “The embark
exercise we performed earlier this year
marked one of the highest scoring perfor-
mances in the naval mobile construction
battalions within the last five years. We
had no intentions of falling short of a
benchmark we ourselves set.”
As around-the-clock operations began
the afternoon of Sept. 25, more than 89
Seabees from NMCB 3’s air detachment
began packing their bags. These men and
women would serve as the deployed engi-
neering force tasked under the MOE to
conduct search and rescue, reopen critical
communication and supply lines, rebuild
government infrastructure and assist in
providing basic security, food, water and
shelter to the simulated affected popula-
tion.
The mission mirrors the conditions com-
monly experienced by Pacific Island coun-
tries, many of which serve as allies to
U.S. forces. Many of these communities
are battered each year by earthquakes,
tsunamis and tropical cyclones.

Risk Assessment and Financing
Initiative, the Pacific Region is
one of the most disaster-prone
regions in the world. These is-
land nations can expect an an-
nual bill of roughly $278 mil-
lion, in addition to the constant
risk of death faced by hundreds
of thousands living throughout
the region.
“As the commanding officer
of the battalion on station ready
to provide help to a nation
forced to suffer due to a natural
disaster, I can only feel proud to
represent such an amazing
team,” said Cmdr. Gordon
Meek, NMCB 3’s commanding
officer, “I’ve witnessed the kind
of life-saving aid a construction
battalion can offer — once in
Kosovo and once Iraq. It’s nev-
er a position you hope to be in,
but when you see the misery on
the faces of those affected and
are able to ease that, there truly
isn’t a more gratifying feel-
ing.”
Ensuring the battalion reached
its goal of preparing literally
tons of equipment and nearly
100 personnel for immediate
departure into a mock area
pummeled by Mother Nature
took a consolidated effort by all
NMCB 3 Seabees. Work crews
operated for 48 straight hours.
According to Builder Con-
structionman Alexandria Bow-
man, who helped load equip-
ment onto pallets, the exercise
made her feel both confident
and ready.
“It’s an important mission,”
said Bowman. “Being able to be
a part of team dedicated to help-
ing others feels good. If I were
one of those called on to deploy
further into the Pacific and help
out a country hit by a typhoon
or tsunami, I know I could get
the job done.”

Battalion (NMCB) 3, tightens pull-down straps on a pallet of supplies

MANATUTO, Timor-Leste — Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)
3’s Civic Construction Action Detail
(CCAD) Timor-Leste teamed up with lo-
cal engineers to repair the Manatuto Ma-
ternity Clinic 70 miles east of Dili, Timor-
Leste’s capital city, last month.
Working in conjunction with the U.S.
Agency for International Development
(USAID), three Seabees joined two Timor-
Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL) engineers
Sept. 7-9 to perform repairs essential to
saving newborn babies’ lives and protect-
ing the clinic’s patients and health care
providers.
“Working with the F-FDTL, through
our partnership with USAID, shows the
Timorese that we are here because we
care,” said NMCB 3 CCAD assistant of-
ficer-in-charge, Chief Utilitiesman Miguel
Fernandez. “We want to see Timor-Leste
prosper as a nation.”
During the three days, the volunteers
repaired a three-way electrical knob, al-
lowing the clinic to switch frommunicipal
power to a standby generator during fre-
quent electrical outages, and they rerout-
ed a well pump’s electrical circuit to allow

access toa secondary source
of fresh water. They also
repaired eight light fixtures,
corrected multiple bath-
room plumbing problems,
installed window screens
and corrected a severe issue
with the clinic’s water pres-
sure.
The opportunity allowed
NMCB 3 to share lasting
professional skills with the
F-FDTL engineers — a
core part of a CCAD’s mis-
sion.
“I want to learn how to
become a better plumber,
so I will be able to help my
people,” said F-FDTL sol-
dier Domingo Caldas, who
was instrumental in correct-
ing the clinic’s water pres-
sure. “I learned a lot work-
ing with the Americans,
and they also learned a lot
from us.”
According to NMCB 3’s
Construction Electrician
Constructionman Choike
Richards, the time spent
interacting with Timorese
engineers and clinic work-
ers helped him realize the
benefits of deploying for-
ward.
“This was a great experi-
ence,”Richards said. “Help-
ing people … teaching
people how to help them-
selves, is very rewarding.”

OKINAWA, Japan — Deep in 17,500 acres
of dense jungle occupied by poisonous spiders
and three species of venomous snakes, 63 Sea-
bees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 woke Sunday, Sept. 22, to barking
Marine Corps instructors motivating them
through the final stage of their eight-day train-
ing at the Jungle Warfare Training Center
(JWTC) in Okinawa’s Northern Training
Area.
The 3.8-mile Jungle Endurance Course ce-
mented each block of practical instruction by
splitting the group into 12- to 18-person squads
to see which team could defeat the course’s 31
obstacles in the shortest time.
“They did a really great job,” said Marine
Corps Cpl. Dustin Davis, a JWTC instructor.
“The endurance course requires a lot of ground
work — tons of running and communication.
They worked together well and none of them
got heated, which was impressive. They all kept
a level head.”
During the previous seven days, students
learned combat tactics, first aid, jungle sur-
vival, rappelling, overcoming booby traps and
land navigation. All 63 Seabees slept in tents
through turbulent rain and stifling humidity,
further strengthening the group as a team.
“Being in the elements the whole time gave
me some real perspective on how our forefathers
fought during past wars,” said Hospital Corps-
man 3rd Class Cale Vandertuin. “That’s all I
could think about. I curled up with my legs
crossed and ate my meals in the rain for only a
few days – they did it for months in real combat.
It made me very appreciative of their ser-
vice.”
Applying these lessons directly impacted how
well the teams performed. With each person
representing a pressure point, victory equated
to no one breaking under the jungle stress.
When challenges bore down, the team shared
the weight.
“The stretcher hauling was the most diffi-
cult,” said Religious Program Specialist 3rd
Class Jorge Reyes. “It tested all of our patience,
because each step was teamwork – when one
moved, we all moved.”
During the obstacle, squads built improvised
stretchers using uniform tops, sticks and belts.
The teams strapped Seabees on stretchers and
carried them through neck-high muddy water,
through ravines that pinned them on top of
one another and while dodging very real aspects
of a living jungle.
“The snakes were no joke,” said Reyes. “The
instructors would see them, shout them out and
help us, but we still got a guy on our backs
relying on us to keep him safe. Big spiders the
size of my hand … there was nothing simu-
lated during this training. It was amazing, and
the instructors were the real deal.”
The training center is the only Department
of Defense jungle training facility in existence.
The facility provides expert instruction that
builds upon small unit leadership, embracing
a tactical mindset and confidence.
The training environment is realistic and
matches that found across the Pacific Region,
helping sustain NMCB 3’s overall readiness as
the only forward-deployed Pacific construction
battalion ready to provide conventional com-
bat, counter-insurgency and irregular warfare
capabilities.
Thanks, in part, to the Marine Corps-led
JWTC training, NMCB 3 is able to perform
critical construction projects in remote island
areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia
and the Philippines. NMCB 3 details are also
conducting operations in Atsugi, Yokosuka and
Okinawa, Japan; Chinhae, Republic of Korea;
and China Lake, Calif.

Help when you need it.

Support Center
“Touchy-feely.” Most of us would feel
put-down to be called “touchy-feely.”
But the fact of the matter is that emo-
tions — the “feely” part — are just a
natural part of who we are. Some of us
try to hide our emotions or deny they
exist; others try to be aware of them and
understand them.
Our beliefs and attitudes toward our
feelings began when we were children,
whether we were taught to value them or
not and how to cope with them. Those
attitudes and beliefs now shape how we
parent our children.
Research has identified three basic
styles, and most of us use one style more
than another. There is also the emotion-
al coaching style.
The dismissive style: Usually the so-
called “negative feelings” such as anger,
sadness and fear are treated as “bad”and
are to be fixed by not expressing them
and eventually ignoring them. The “Get-
over-it”approach can appear to be caring
— for example: “Don’t be sad that you
can’t play with your friend today; she will
be back next week.” Ignoring, fixing and
distracting tactics teach children some-
thing is wrong with such feelings and it’s
better that they not be expressed — and
don’t come to the parent for comfort and
understanding.
The disapproving style: “If you don’t
stop crying, I’ll give you something to
cry about.” “Nobody wants a whiner
around here.” Such words might convey
to children that feeling upset or sad
means something is wrong with them.
This is especially true if children are pun-
ished. They never learn how to deal with
strong emotions. But emotions just are
— and they can’t be turned on and off
at will. Research shows such children have
difficulty trusting their own judgment,
lack self-esteem and have trouble regulat-
ing their emotions and getting along with
others.
The “anything goes” style: “Good, let
the feelings out; whatever you feel like
doing is OK.” While children are com-
fortable with expressing their feelings and
know they will be accepted, there are no
limits to their behavior and no guidance
in dealing with emotions. Such children
don’t have the skills to calm down when
angry, sad or fearful. They don’t pick up
on social cues from others and have prob-
lems making and keeping friends.
The emotional coaching style: “I see you
are feeling angry, but people are not for
hitting. That’s not OK. Let’s figure out
other things you can do when you feel
this way.”
With emotional coaching, children feel
comfortable with all their emotions,
knowing they are loved. But the children
also learn there are limits to howthe emo-
tions are expressed and acted upon. They
have guidance in dealing with their emo-
tions. These children can form strong
friendships, do better in school, handle
their moods better and show resilience.
As a bonus, they also get sick less of-
ten.
Here are some tips on how you can
become an emotional coach:
• Be aware of your child’s emotions.
• See emotions as an opportunity to
connect and get to know your child.
• Listen with empathy.
• Help your child name the emotion.
• Set limits and find solutions and ap-
propriate ways to deal with the emotions
and the situation giving rise to the emo-
tions.
Be aware that children are learning
about emotions by watching how you
handle your feelings.
Want to learn more about becoming
an emotional coach? Contact the Fleet
&Family Support Center for information
on the New Parent Support Program or
parenting classes. Check out upcoming
classes listed on posters across the base,
in your mailbox, on the Naval Base Ven-

NOSC Ventura County
Sailors fromNavy Opera-
tional Support Center
(NOSC) Ventura County
celebrated the life and his-
tory of World War II, Ko-
rean and Vietnam veterans
during a late-summer Spirit
of ‘45 event at the Veterans
Home of California-Ven-
tura, an assisted living and
hospice care home run by
the California Department
of Veterans Affairs.
Spirit of ‘45 commemo-
rates the end of World War
II 67 years ago and recog-
nizes the generation of ser-
vicemen and women who
served. They are the nation’s
oldest veterans.
NOSC Ventura County
provided the Color Guard
to open the Aug. 14 event.
The national anthem and
Pledge of Allegiance were
led by a Ventura chapter of
Girl Scouts, and the keynote
speaker was Capt. Ronald
Oswald, commanding officer
of NOSC Ventura County.
Oswald is a third-generation
military man, and both of
his grandfathers served dur-
ing World War II.
Following a remembrance
for fellow Americans who
were Prisoners of War and
those missing in action, Sail-
ors spoke directly with each
veteran about their service
and experiences.
“I was honored to stand
up in front of these fine
American war heroes and

Capt. Ronald Oswald, commanding officer of the Navy Operational Support Center Ventura County, speaks of the
bond between past and present military to a crowd of veterans as a part of the Spirit of ´45 celebration in August. Full-
time support and Navy Reserve Sailors visited the Veterans Home of California-Ventura to spend time with veterans.

tell them my story,” said Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd
Class Jose Serrano. “It was so influential to hear the
stories and past lives of our veterans who once served
and paved the way for the freedom of Americans.”
Oswald said that everyone who has taken an oath of
military service shares a bond, regardless of their
age.
“You instantly see this bond when an 80-year-old
veteran begins talking with a 20-year-old active duty
Sailor,” he said.
Oswald believes the stories and memories shared by
U.S. veterans are often more fully appreciated and un-
derstood by those who are currently serving.
“It was a great honor to be in the presence of all
those veterans,” said Information Systems Technician
2nd Class Amber Glessner. “We have the freedoms we
enjoy today because of the sacrifices they, and service
members like them, made during these conflicts. The
stories were absolutely amazing and something that I
will never forget.”

Nearly 60 runners took part in the last
of this year’s lunchtime Summer 5Kseries
Thursday, Sept. 19, at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.
Twenty-three of the runners also com-
pleted the optional obstacle course, includ-
ing Holley Theodore, who’d just given
birth seven weeks ago. The spouse of Ben
Theodore, an ensign with Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 5, credited her
friend, Lisa Orgren, with getting her to
finish the race.
“It was peer pressure!” she said.
Orgren, a structural engineer with the
Public Works Department at Naval Base
Ventura County, said she’s taken part in
the lunchtime runs before and enjoyed
helping a friend this time.
They finished at the same time: 37 min-
utes, 40 seconds.

ist with Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary
Warfare Center, won the race and obstacle course. His
time was 18 minutes, 44 seconds.
“We’ve got to get more of the commands out here,”
he said. “I know there’s faster guys than me, they just
don’t come out.”
Norma Santiago finished the 5K first among the
women with a time of 21 minutes, 6 seconds, three sec-
onds faster than her previous time. Just two weeks
prior, she’d run a marathon in 4 hours, 11 minutes.
Santiago was going to stop with the 5K, then changed
her mind and tackled the knee-high hurdles, soldier
crawl and other obstacles.
“She’s our superhero,” her friends said, while her
spouse, Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Santiago, the executive officer
of the Naval Construction Training Center, watched
from the sidelines.
The lunchtime 5Ks are put on by Morale, Welfare
and Recreation. The next one will be the Navy Birthday
5K Oct. 10 at the gym at Naval Base Ventura County,
Point Mugu. Registration is at 11 a.m., and the race
begins at 11:30 a.m. While supplies last, free shirts and
shaker bottles provided by run sponsor Bodybuilding.
com will be given to all participants.

The Olympic motto “Citius, Altius,
Fortius”—“Faster, Higher, Stronger”
— played out Friday, Sept. 20, in
front of the Navy Lodge at Naval
Base Ventura County, Port Huen-
eme.
To celebrate International Hospi-
tality Week, the Navy Lodge staff
competed in the Hospitality Olympics
in the parking lot —and anyone driv-
ing by on Ventura Road saw Hercu-
lean efforts.
Citius? The race was on to push an
empty laundry cart across the parking
lot.
Altius? Teams of two tried to see
who could build the highest tower of
guest soaps.
Fortius? Just how far — and how
accurately —can you throwa roll of
toilet paper?
Those events — plus a pillowcase-
stuffing contest, a lamp-assembly race
and a competition to see who could
tie a scarf in the most beautiful and
creative fashion —made up this most
unusual Olympics.
“This is a fun way to show appre-
ciation to our associates and to get
the associates’ departments working
together,” said Carla Vicens, general
manager of the Navy Lodge at Port
Hueneme. “It creates a good memo-
ry for the rest of the year.”
Housekeepers, front desk clerks
and maintenance workers — 12 em-
ployees in all —took part in the spir-
ited competition, with Vicens serving
as referee.
It made sense that Enrico Lacam-
bacal won the lamp assembly contest.
He was the only maintenance worker

in the Olympics, and he lit up the compe-
tition with a time of 40.2 seconds. He also
won the toilet-paper toss. (He denied all
accusations of steroid use.)
Anna Marie Cocjin and Aimee Jose of
the housekeeping staff won for their intri-
cate scarf tie, and they also cleaned up in
the soap-tower contest.
The pillowcase event proved to be the
stuff of dreams for Ruth Villa. The house-
keeping attendant stuffed four pillowcases
—and the competition —in just 25.8 sec-
onds.
But it was the last event —the relay race
—that drewthe most excitement. Laundry
carts flewas runners pushed themthrough
the parking lot, around a cone, then back
to the starting line.
After Team 2 beat Team 1, it was time
for the medal ceremony and pizza.
“This was a blast,”said John Gilkerson,
who has worked at the front desk for about
eight months.
His mom, Brenda Damron, works at the
Navy Exchange and stopped by to
watch.
“I’m here to cheer on my son and sup-
port the Navy Lodge hospitality,” she
said.
She confirmed that her son enjoys his
job.
“Oh yes,” she said. “He’s very …”
Get ready for it …
“Hospitable.”

Springing change on someone and ex-
pecting their belief systemto change over-
night isn’t as successful as helping a person
evolve, he said.
“They’ll pay more attention,” he said,
with constant communication and educa-
tion.
Trent believes the Navy is making prog-
ress, especially in the area of sexual
abuse.
“We are making great efforts and strides
at stamping out sexual abuse and getting
the numbers down to where they should
be — which is zero,” he said.
Percy is the first African-American com-
mand master chief for Naval Base Ven-
tura County.
“I plan to do a lot of volunteer work
with the Boys &Girls Club,”he explained.
“It’s important that people see there is an
opportunity here for everyone, that you
can take advantage of that opportunity
and broaden your horizons.”
Trent became command master chief
of the base after a three-year tour as the
command master chief of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3.
“I’m enjoying the opportunity to work
with more civilians,” he said. “Not every-
thing is troop-related. The programs and
services provided on this base are pro-
vided to everyone, and we need input from
all levels.”
At 42, Trent has spent more than half
his life in the Navy. A native of Bluefield,
Va., he enlisted in 1989, right out of high
school. He attended Builder “A” School
in Gulfport, Miss., and his first duty as-
signment was with Explosive Ordnance
Disposal Mobile Unit 5 in Cubic Bay,
Philippines. He first came to Port Huen-
eme with NMCB 3 in 1992. His deploy-
ments have included Guam, Kuwait, Ja-
pan, Iraq, Spain and Afghanistan.
He’s looking forward to his time at Na-
val Base Ventura County with his wife and
three children.
“I’m happy to be here,” he said. “I’m
proud to be part of this team.”

“When the judge said, ‘You are a citi-
zen,’ I felt so good,” recalled Yang, who
has since graduated from Construction
Mechanic A-school with near-perfect
scores, having missed only one question
on all his tests combined. “I felt different.
I felt a change.”
“I didn’t think I’d be so emotional,”said
Abebe. “But when they played that song,
‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ …”
His voice trails off, and Garibay knew
exactly what he meant.
“That song,” he said, “I almost cried.
But I contained myself.”
Yang came to the United States from
China, Abebe fromEthiopia and Garibay
from Mexico. They have little in common
with many of their fellowNCTCstudents,
some of whom are barely out of high
school. All three have college degrees and
are married, and Garibay has a 2-year-old
daughter.
Yang, 28, has a master’s degree in elec-
trical engineering from the University of
Bridgeport in Connecticut.
Garibay, who has a bachelor’s in busi-
ness administration and a master’s in or-
ganizational development from the Uni-
versity of Baja, is 33 and is the oldest
student at NCTC — “Some of them call
me Grandpa,” he said.
Abebe, 26, is fluent in English, French
and Amharic, a Semitic language spoken
in Ethiopia and Eritrea. He has a bache-
lor’s degree in marine engineering from
the University in Ghana and has served
in the Merchant Marine.
All said they wanted to become U.S.
citizens because of the opportunities avail-
able in America.
“Here, if you do your job good, you can
get promoted and have everything,”Yang
said. “I know sometimes things are fair
and sometimes they’re unfair. I accept
that. But it’s fairer in the United States.
Look, I can join the Navy even though I
am not a citizen! The Navy trusts me, and
America trusts me, even though I am not
a citizen!”
Abebe also believes that in the United
Citizenship earned by three A-school students at NCTC

States, “If you work hard, you can
achieve.”
Adds Garibay, “This is the land of the
free and the home of the brave. Here, I
can provide better opportunities for my
family.”
Yang’s top priority now is getting his
parents to the United States. An only
child, he hasn’t seen them in four years,
and he knows he can expedite the process
nowthat he’s a U.S. citizen. Then he wants
to focus all his efforts on becoming an
officer in the U.S. Navy.
“I’m glad I joined the Navy,” he said.
“It’s a good choice.”
All his life, he’s fixed things — bicycles,
toys, whatever was broken around the
house. He remembers building a toy heli-
copter using some scrap metal his father
had. Now, his “toys” are diesel engines.
Abebe and Garibay joined the Navy in
late 2012 and had a delayed entry. They
met at boot camp and were reunited at
Port Hueneme.
Like Yang, Abebe will focus on bringing
over his family — in this case, his wife of
18 months, Samrawit, and his mother.
Garibay’s wife and daughter are already
in the United States — his wife became a
permanent resident in May. They live in
San Diego and attended the naturalization
ceremony.
Both Abebe and Garibay want to be-
come Navy officers.
“It’s my dream to become an officer,”
Abebe said, “to help others for freedom
and democracy.”
Garibay said that while he, too, wants
to become an officer, he’s proud to serve
the Navy in whatever capacity he can.
“I want to do whatever they tell me as
long as it helps others,” he said.
Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Santiago, executive of-
ficer of the NCTC, accompanied his stu-
dents to the Los Angeles Convention
Center and said he was proud to do so.
“It was a great honor and privilege to
be part of this ceremony,” he said. “The
time and effort these candidates put in go-
ing through this process is remarkable
— something we take for granted and
many times do not realize.”

CMCN Yonatan Abebe and CMCN Erik Garibay are now U.S. citizens, Abebe having come
from Ethiopia and Garibay from Mexico.
Goals include becoming officers, moving families to U.S.

The companies that took part were re-
quired to have current job openings. There
were a total of 63 firms and colleges.
Frito-Lay, a division of Pepsico, is look-
ing to fill several positions ranging from
stockers to district sales leaders. Baxter
Technologies was looking for manufactur-
ing associates and technicians. Volt had
161 positions open.
Lingad, who has a son in the seventh
grade and two in college, hopes to stay in
the area. But he was surprised by the cur-
rent pay scale in private industry.
“It’s hard to match government salaries
with private industry,”he said. “You have
to come to that reality. Your pay as active
duty in the military won’t match what pri-
vate industry is paying — at least for
awhile.”
Charlotte Woods, a staffing consultant
with Oxnard-based Express Employment
Professionals, agreed that many planning
to leave the military need to lower their
expectations.
“I’minforming a lot of themof the pay
difference,” she said. “I’m finding that
when they transition out, their expecta-
tions are too high. It’s not realistic for
themto think they’ll earn the same as they
did in the military or more.”
According to Navy.com, as of Jan. 1,
2012, pay for enlisted Sailors ranged from
$1,450 upon enlistment to $2,450 a month
after four years. For officers, pay ranged
from $2,800 upon commission to $6,950
after six years. The military also offers
housing and food allowances, plus com-
prehensive health care coverage, inexpen-
sive life insurance and up to 30 days paid
vacation each year.
Some of the positions advertised at the
career fair, including cashiers at Home
Depot, pay little more than minimum
wage, although the company had several
other higher-paying positions open, in-
cluding kitchen designers.
Kelly Coughlan, employment program
coordinator for the FFSC, said that’s one
reason why transitioning veterans tend to
be attracted to federal employment: A
federal government worker makes $27,000
more per year than the average private
sector worker.
She said that despite sequestration, the
government continues to hire because so
many baby boomers are retiring; in one
month alone, 64,000 federal jobs
opened.
“However,” she said, “candidates must
have a superb application since these jobs
are highly competitive.”
She recommends that job-seekers apply
for both federal and private sector employ-
ment.
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,”
she said.

Besides, she added, veterans are particu-
larly sought-after in the private sector.
Woods agreed that people coming out of
the military have an edge.
“They’re on time, they’re structured and
they do their job,” she said. “They always
showup ready to work.”
Coughlan said the surveys collected from
participants at the endof the career fair were
very positive.
“I spoke with several employers after the
event and they were very excited about the
prospects,” she said. “One company in par-
ticular stated they were ‘actively going after’
12 to 14 attendees they had met at the fair.”
She saidshe’ll be working withemployers
to track the number of those hired because
of the event.
“We will definitely be repeating the career
fair inspring,”she added. “However, we may
have to secure a larger facility!”
Career fair
draws 63 firms,
colleges to base
The average federal job posting at-
tracts 1,000 applicants, just one reason
why so few government sector repre-
sentatives attend career fairs.
It’s also the reason why the Fleet &
Family Support Center (FFSC) at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) of-
fers a two-hour class on federal re-
sume-writing.
“Classes like this teach you how to
stand apart from the competition and
increase your chances of getting hired,”
explained Kelly Coughlan, employ-
ment program coordinator for the
FFSC.
Here are upcoming dates for the fed-
eral resume class, as well as a class on
general resume-writing. All classes are
held at the FFSC at NBVC Port Hue-
neme, in the Welcome Center, Bldg.
1169, behind the Navy Exchange:
• Federal Employment & Resume:
Oct. 8, 9 to 11 a.m.; Oct. 24, 1 to 3
p.m.; Nov. 5, 2 to 4 p.m.; Nov. 20, 9 to
11 a.m.; Dec. 17, 9 to 11 a.m.
• Writing the Perfect Resume and
Cover Letter (private sector resumes):
Oct. 16, 1 to 3 p.m.; Oct. 29, 10 a.m.
to noon; Nov. 14, 1 to 3 p.m.; Nov. 26,
9 to 11 a.m.; Dec. 12, 9 to 11 a.m.
