its eight-month deployment to
Afghanistan.

Why are trees being removed?
Question: Recently I noticed that the beautiful
evergreen trees that were by the gym next to the bat-
talion spaces were cut down.
I remember the first trees I noticed to be cut down
were the ones near the Sunkist Gate that is now the
area of the new Seabee Museum. That was years ago,
and it still hurts.
The evergreens near the gym were so magnificent
and old that surely they could have been spared. I
feel that these trees have a bigger right to be here
than us, and there has to be some sort of Seabee
ingenuity to solve a problem such as structure dam-
age by a root. I’m upset and wish they would have
thought twice about removing such a majestic sight.
Answer: The two trees that were removed adjacent
to the Beehive Gym at Port Hueneme were Ficus
Benjamina, a non-native North American plant that
has an aggressive and destructive root system. These
trees had previously caused structural damage to
the Beehive, including damage to the standing seam
metal roof and gutter system, in addition to the exist-
ing sidewalk and landing, which have been replaced.
Of greater concern was possible damage to the
building foundation, which could have caused the
building foundation to lift.
The U.S. Forest Service in Fact Sheet ST-251
warns that roots of Ficus Benjamina “grow rapidly,
invading gardens, growing under and lifting side-
walks, patios and driveways.”
They further conclude that its use in tree form is
much too large for residential planting; therefore in
these settings, this species should only be used as a
hedge or clipped screen.
In a previous edition of the Lighthouse and in
the Ventura County Star, the need for removal of the
diseased and damaged trees along Ventura Road was
discussed, along with the our plan for replanting one
California sycamore for every three eucalyptus trees
removed.

The Navy Channel, the predecessor to
The Lighthouse, was on hand to cover the
event. Here is the report that ran on Oct.
26, 2000, under the headline, ‘We are one:

Actor and community activist Edward James Olmos entertains a crowd of about 500 as part of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
In a passionate speech to commemorate
National Hispanic Heritage Month at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), ac-
tor and community activist Edward James
Olmos urged a diverse crowd to put dif-
ferences aside and act as one race:
The human race.
Speaking to about 500 people gathered
in a courtyard at the Naval Surface War-
fare Center, Port Hueneme Division
(NSWC -PHD), on Wednesday, Sept. 22,
Olmos stressed the importance of heritage
—what he called “the wisdomof who and
what your are” — and using it as a unify-
ing force rather than a divisive one.
“It’s sad we have to have ‘Months,’”Ol-
mos said, using Hispanic Heritage Month
as an example. “It hurts. We should be at
a point where we’re simply celebrating
diversity.”
Olmos said he is proud of his long and

Over the last two weeks I repeatedly
sat shocked and saddened by multiple
news reports of crimes committed as a
result of posts on Facebook, Twitter,
Foursquare, MySpace or personal
blogs.
A jealous boyfriend in Fresno brutally
attacked his girlfriend over what he be-
lieved to be “flirting” with a former high
school classmate.
Homes are targeted after posts on
Foursquare announce the home is emp-
ty.
A Facebook post, “I’m heading out to
the movies” told unsavory friends that
the house would be empty — plenty of
time to rob the house.
Yes, I said “friends.” Asecurity camera
revealed it was Facebook Friends that
committed the robbery.
Per a recent Army briefing, I learned
that 80 percent of what our enemies learn
about U.S. Homeland Security and our
deployed units is learned through unclas-
sified information posted in “open sourc-
es,” such as the media, Internet, chat
rooms, e-mail, even unit support group
newsletters and your garbage.
As a military wife, like you, I am con-
scious of the need to keep my Sailor’s
schedule and location close to home: OP-
SEC.
But what about PERSEC? What about
Personal Security?
In an age of new media we need to ex-
pand our thinking to include PERSEC.
What do your posts reveal about
you?
I reviewed my history of posts over the
last few months and discovered that in-
advertently I gave a lot of clues to my
location, size of family, deployment sta-
tus and schedule. What I thought was
sharing “good news” announced things
like “My husband isn’t here” and “I’m
home alone.” Sharing “good news” re-
vealed my home would be empty — sev-
eral times.
Across several conversations I revealed
whether I have children, if I live on or
off base, my regular pattern of shopping,
my daily “walking” routine and my fa-
vorite coffee shop and when I visit it.
Would you believe, in an effort to encour-
age “disaster preparedness,” I told where
I keep my important papers and a large
amount of cash? Holy cow!
So someone following me could figure
out that I am gone at a particular time
for a certain amount of time, that my
husband is not there and exactly where
to find my emergency preparedness stack
of cash.
Lovely.
I recently read a military spouse blog
that gave her husband’s full name, home-
town, unit and even the dates of deploy-
ment. She had a picture of herself and
her soldier. She announced they were
expecting their first child on Nov. 18 and
that the baby shower was scheduled for
Oct. 3 with location and time posted.
I have a friend who is a security expert
who told me how much we can find out
from her blog. With the husband’s full
name, a Google search revealed his date
of birth, year of marriage, full name of
the author and the couple’s home address.
And that is more than enough to open
themto identity theft and criminal activ-
ity.
What clues have you given? Have you
inadvertently, by sharing exciting news
—We’re going to Cancun! He’ll be home
in 10 days! I got a newMini! —informed
others that your home will be empty, you
are alone, desirable possessions are avail-
able or other information?
PERSEC: It’s not an option, and it’s
not complicated.

Schools can use every cent they can get.
The state has continued to cut the budget,
and schools are doing what they can to
succeed, regardless.
Soon, many students will bring home a
form that could allow your child’s school
to receive additional much-needed fund-
ing. The form will ask if you live or work
on federal property and ask a few more
questions to gather more information.
This data is used by the district to apply
for supplemental funding for federally
connected children.
This form, the Federal Survey Card, will
go out during the first few weeks in Oc-
tober. It applies to active-duty/reserve
component and federal civilian workers.
See the letter below, sent out Sept. 16, sup-
porting your participation in the federal
survey:
To all Military Families of Navy Region
Southwest,
Aquality education is one of the greatest
gifts we can give our children. Becoming
actively involved in their education is an
essential ingredient for success.
Studies tell us that a parent’s involvement
in school has a direct positive effect on a
child’s academic success. The more inten-
sively parents are involved in their children’s
learning, the greater achievement.
Another very simple way that you, as
parents, can work toward quality education
in the public schools is to complete and re-
turn the Federal Survey Card your child will
be bringing home in the early part of Oc-
tober. By investing a few minutes of your
time to complete this card, you allow your
school to accurately report the number of
military dependents enrolled. This impor-
tant data is the only way that our schools
are able to qualify for Federal Impact Aid
funding.
Unfortunately, the past return rates have
been low. Your help is needed to turn this
around.
By returning the Federal Survey Card,
school districts will be able to receive fund-
ing from the federal government through
the Impact Aid Program.
The Impact Aid Program is designed to
directly compensate local school districts
for: (1) local revenue lost due to the pres-
ence of federally owned, and therefore tax-
exempt, property and (2) costs incurred
due to “federally connected” students, such
as the children of armed services personnel
working at a nearby military base. Unlike
most other forms of educational assistance,
Impact Aid disburses roughly $1.3 billion
annually in unrestricted federal funds di-
rectly to local school districts rather than
through state agencies.
Everyone is aware of the fiscal challeng-
es facing our schools and the negative af-
fects these challenges have on our children’s
education. Your participation is the only
way we can ensure that our school receive
the proper amount of federal aid dollars. A
low return rate will result in the loss of mil-
lions of federal dollars that could otherwise
benefit our local schools and our children’s
education.
Working together at home, at school and
on funding issues, we will prepare our chil-
dren for a successful future.
Sincerely,
W.D. French,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy
Please take the time to complete this
relatively simple form. Currently, the three
school districts in our local community
who send these surveys home are Ocean
View School District, Hueneme Elemen-
tary School District, and Pleasant Valley
School District. If your children attend
any school within these school districts,
please be on the lookout for the form, ask
the teacher if you have not seen it past the
third week in October, and complete and
return it.
— For any K-12 education questions, please
contact the NBVC school liaison officer at

since World War II and, in a
search for water, it dug the deep-
est hole ever by Naval Construc-
tion Forces.
“We created a 300-acre forward
operating base out of nothing,”
explainedCmdr. LaTanya Simms,
who became commanding officer
of NMCB 4 about halfway
through the deployment, succeed-
ing Cmdr. Dean VanderLey, who
took over as the public works of-
ficer at Naval Facilities, Mid-At-
lantic. “We created all the ser-
vices to support a small town.
Very rarely does a battalion get
the chance to do that fresh, with
absolutely no infrastructure there
whatsoever.”
NMCB 4, which deployed ear-
lier than anticipated after Presi-
dent Obama announced a
planned surge into Afghanistan
in December, cut or filled more
than 400,000 cubic meters of
earth, a post-World War II Sea-
bee record, and spread more than
50,000 cubic meters of gravel.
The battalion created a town
for 2,500 people, building roads,
drainage ditches and living areas
– and laying plans for 600 more
acres of growth, including an air-
field and runway.
They also drilled for water, go-
ing to a depth of 1,536 feet, an-
other record. It yielded no water,
however, meaning, Simms says
with a laugh, “we drilled the
deepest hole in NCF history.”
There was success at another
location, she added, and by the
time they left, a system of wells
and pipelines was established.
“Bottled water is not a long-
term solution,” she explained.
All of this took place with tem-
peratures soaring past 120 de-
grees, with everyone having to
remain vigilant.
“It was what we call a ‘permis-
sive environment,’” Simms said.
“It was a lower threat environ-
ment than in the southern region,
but you still have to be aware of
the surroundings. You don’t take
anything for granted.”
A typical day had an “orches-
tra”of 30 pieces of equipment in
operation.
“The earth-moving equipment
had air-conditioned cabs, so they
could work during the day,”
Simms said. “Otherwise the ma-
jority of work took place during
the night. The days averaged 110
degrees, with some days going
past 120. But it was only in the
high 80s at night.”
The Seabees built 10 kilometers
worth of berms to protect the
forward operating base. They
built 18 crows nests and ran 6
kilometers of triple-strand C-
wire. On a typical day, they would
search and process as many as
300 trucks bringing supplies and

The triple-strand of concertina wire eventually ran the entire perimeter
of the Deh Dadi expansion of Camp Spann — more than six miles of
wire.

In March, the Seabees had a lot of work to do to get the area ready for construction. “We created a 300-acre forward operating base out of nothing,” said Cmdr. LaTanya Simms.

constructionmaterials ontothe forwardoperating
base.
With initial force protection in place, the bat-
talion began work on the “town.” They built
60,000 square feet of tactical operations centers
andCPs, erected100,000 square feet of large tent
structures, placing 4,500 cubic meters of concrete
in the process.
Campoperations required20generators. There
was a fully operational galley that could feed 550
people per meal, weight and cardio rooms and
even an Internet café.
Fifteen acres were carved out for a supply
yard.
For the airfield in the eastern province of Par-
tika, the Seabees placed 2,300 cubic meters of
concrete. They constructed helicopter landing
zones and taxiways and built parking aprons for
13 medical evacuation and transport helicop-
ters.
While Simms is proud of all these accomplish-
ments, there is one statistic that stands out most
in her mind:
The convoy security team logged 10,000 kilo-
meters without incident or mishap.
“Thinkabout that!”she says. “Thinkabout the
terrainandthe lackof infrastructure. For aconvoy
security element to go through that environment
as well as through population centers with tight,
narrow streets, and for there to be no incidents
and no problems, just think about it!”
In all, convoy security completed more than
300combat logistics patrols andmovedthousands
of tons of cargo, nearly 100 pieces of equipment
and hundreds of military and civilian person-
nel.
“There were some huge logistics challenges,”
Simms said. “The situation required everyone in
the battalion to do what they were trained to do.
Fromclerks tosupplyfolks, mechanics andequip-
ment operators, everyone was able toexercise their
rate.”
The Seabees also worked with local Afghans
and coalition forces.
“It was atruecoalition,”Simms said. “Germans,
Swedes, Croatians – we all worked together.”
Now NMCB 4 is back, and NMCB 40 has
taken their place.
“We set them up for success,”Simms said.
She calledit anhonor tobe servingwithNMCB
4.
“This is a collectionof professionals,”she said.
“They’re proud of what they do. They go about
their business with no nonsense and no fanfare.
They get the job done.
“I’m humbled to be a part of it.”

NBVC school liaison officer
Schools do not succeed in a
bubble. It takes the support of
educators, parents and the local
community. Sailors fromthe Fleet
Readiness Center Southwest Det.
Point Mugu 900 Division are ful-
filling their responsibility to the
Ventura County community.
While welcoming parents to a
new school year is an important
task during most schools’ Back
to School Nights, the Laguna
Vista PTC decided to add a spa-
ghetti dinner to encourage PTC
membership and also to provide
busy families with a warm meal
before Back to School Night fes-
tivities began.
However, PTC members
couldn’t do it alone. So, they
called on Aviation Maintenance
Administrationman 2nd Class
Scott Hatzung to gather up vol-
unteers from FRC SW.
A Partnership In Education
(PIE) has recently been formed
between the FRC SW Det. Pt.
Mugu 900 Division and Laguna
Vista School toprovide volunteers
at school events and assist in the
school library.
So, on Sept. 16, when most Sail-
ors were heading home for the
evening, 11 Sailors headed over
to Laguna Vista School to serve
250 spaghetti meals.
“The volunteers were very ex-
cited to help, had a great time and
want to do it again,” said Hat-
zung.
Thanks to PIE, the volunteers
will have plenty of opportunities
to help throughout the year.
For more information on creat-
ing a Partnership in Education
between a command and a local
school, contact the NBVCschool
liaison officer at 989-5211.

Seabees from the Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 5 Water Well
(WW) Team deployed to the Helmand
Province, Afghanistan, earlier this year to
begin drilling potable water wells on var-
ious forward operating bases, combat
outposts and patrol bases in support of
coalition forces.
Each tower consists of a driller (team
leader), derrick hand (assistant driller),
and three to four other personnel called
WORMMs (worker, oiler, rigger, mud and
maintenance man). The remaining over-
all makeup of the NMCB5 teamincludes
five equipment operators, five construc-
tion mechanics, four utilitiesmen, two
construction electricians, two steel work-
ers, and one hospital corpsman.
The team is relatively self-sufficient,
traveling with its own tents and supplies
to establish living and work areas at each
site.
As equipment degrades and supplies are
consumed, the main body of the battalion
provides support with convoy movements,
transferring equipment, supplies and con-
sumables to ensure each mission is accom-
plished. Movement of the drilling rig and
support equipment is often accomplished
by other U.S. Marine Corps logistics
units.
The planned duration to complete each
well is 45 to 60 days, but the NMCB 5
team averages about 30 days. Each well
takes 110,000 gallons of water to drill,
8,000 gallons of fuel and the hard work
and dedication of all involved.
The first mission for the team kicked
off on April 28, when an advanced party
of seven personnel deployed to a remote
combat outpost in Toor Ghar to begin
turnover of the water well rig and materi-
als from NMCB 133. Construction Me-
chanic 2nd Class Andrew Aldinger in-
spected the equipment to ensure it was
ready for drilling. Equipment Operator
1st Class Emmiee Gutierrez, Construction
Electrician 2nd Class Lewis Linwood, and
Utilitiesman 2nd Class Ezescribano Gon-
zalez inventoried and repackaged all ma-
terials and tools for transfer to the next
location.
Upon completion of turnover, the team
was ready to move on to drilling the first
well at Patrol Base Jaker.
There, the WWteamsuccessfully drilled
a 1,240-foot well, producing a developed
well with a water flow of 187 GPM with-
out a pump or need for any external pow-
er. With that volume of flow, the Marines
and Coalition Forces will be supplied with
more than 269,000 gallons of water per
day, long into the foreseeable future.
The district governor was pleased to see
the well because it will be there long after
the Seabees and Marines are gone. He will
be able to supply his citizens with fresh
water and stability.
This success story did not happen over-
night, as there was some heartache
throughout the drilling process. First,
there were issues with the mud pump, and
then the top head on the drilling rig caused
the initial well to collapse at a depth of
800 feet.
“You don’t learn anything from a per-
fect well,” said Equipment Operator 1st
Class (SCW) Brent Workman, the assis-
tant officer in charge for NMCB 5 WW.
After completion of the well at Patrol
Base Jaker, the teammoved on to Combat
Outpost Khan Neshin, approximately 90
kilometers south. Incorporating the les-
sons learned from the first well led to
greater drilling efficiency in Khan Neshin.
The team reached a depth of over 1,000
feet in four days of drilling.
The commanding officer, Cmdr. Scot
Sanders, and Command Master Chief
Mark Kraninger made a site visit at about
the 1,100-foot mark of the well, hoping
to be there when water was struck. After
diligently working with each tower for a
few days, the drilling reached a depth of
over 1,300 feet with no water to be found.
After they departed, the team continued
to drill until a depth of 1,430 feet was
achieved, and still there was no water. Just
about at the maximum depth of the drill
rig, the team had to make the call that
water would not be reached and the well
could not be installed.
Despite the disappointment, the NMCB
Water Well Team is focused on and dedi-
cated to the mission at hand. It will con-
tinue press on to the next locations, dili-
gently seeking suitable, clean aquifers to
install wells in support of the troops, and
ultimately, the citizens of Afghanistan.

VAW-112
On July 12, the Golden Hawks of VAW-
112 boarded the USS George H.W. Bush
(CVN 77) in Norfolk, Va., for a carrier
qualification detachment to hone the land-
ing skills of the squadron’s pilots.
The Golden Hawks never expected that
they would meet President George H.W.
Bush himself, let alone be assisted aboard
as the president tried his hand as a landing
signals officer (LSO), charged with the
safety of Golden Hawk 600’s landing
aboard his ship on July 14.
With the centennial of naval aviation
approaching on May 8, 2011, it is impor-
tant to mention Bush’s key role in its his-
tory.
He received his officer commission and
naval pilot wings in 1943, making himthe
youngest naval aviator at the time. He flew
58 combat missions and received the Dis-
tinguished Flying Cross for his courageous
flying. He has been actively involved in 67
of the past 100 years of naval aviation
— from his Wings of Gold to his visit of
the newest aircraft carrier in the Navy.
CVN77 was named after Bush, the 41st
president of the United States, and much
to the crew’s surprise, he and his wife, Bar-
bara, made a two-day appearance aboard
“his” ship. On July 14, the Bushes flew
aboard in an MH-53 Sea Stallion helicop-
ter. The president and his wife watched
several carrier arrestments before moving
to the LSO platform, where he held the
“pickle,”an instrument used by the LSOs
to communicate with the aircraft. He op-
erated the pickle for a fewlandings, includ-
ing one flown by the Golden Hawks’ ex-
ecutive officer, Cmdr. Paul Crump.
Later in the day, while observing flight
operations from the Primary Flight Tow-
er, the air boss was overheard saying to
Bush, “Beautiful plane, isn’t it?”speaking
of the E-2C, whereupon the president re-
plied, “Yes, it certainly is,” giving the
proud Hawkeye aviators yet another rea-
son to respect this World War II hero and
naval aviator.
The next morning, the president and his
wife joined the Sailors in the Chiefs’ Mess
for breakfast. Two Golden Hawks, Avia-
tion Structural Mechanic Senior Chief
Ryan Small and Aviation Machinist’s
Mate 3rd Class Kevin Fayose, joined him
along with other Sailors chosen to attend
this memorable event.
Small gave the president a VAW-112
Golden Hawk Chiefs’ Mess coin on behalf
of the squadron, which Bush said he
would be proud to add to his command
coin collection.
He and his wife greeted every table and
took pictures, leaving a lasting impression
on the ship’s crew of their president’s gra-
ciousness and commitment to the naval
service.
VAW-112 meets former president aboard his namesake
President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, seated, pause for a photo on board
USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) as one of the Golden Eagles’ E-2C lands. Bush agreed
the E-2C is a “beautiful plane.”

Scoutmaster Dan Estabrook of
Boy Scout Troop 234 was doing
a great job explaining how the
Boy Scouts dovetails nicely with
a career in the military until Steel-
worker 1st Class Dave Brown of
Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion 4 came along.
With one sentence, Brown stole
his thunder.
“I moved up one pay grade
coming in,” Brown said. “I came
in as an E2.”
As an Eagle Scout, the highest
rank achievable in Boy Scouts,
Brown was eligible for the imme-
diate promotion when he enlisted
and credits the Scouting program
with his early entry into a leader-
ship position.
Boy Scout Troop 234, which
incorporates Naval Base Ventura
County, is currently recruiting
boys 11 to 18 years old. Right
now, there are 12 boys in the
troop, which Estabrook leads.
“The values we instill in Boy
Scouts are the same values the
Navy — and the military in gen-
eral — is looking for in young
men,” Estabrook said.
Not only is there a strong em-
phasis on duty to country, there
is alsothe skill set learnedthrough
128 merit badges and various ac-
tivities that teach boys to be self-
sufficient in the outdoors.
“The boys learn camping skills,
how to use a compass, how to
read a map,” Estabrook says.
“They learn about good citizen-
ship, and they learn about a huge
variety of careers.”
Eric Kreps, 12, of Port Huen-
eme, a Cub Scout for three years
and a Boy Scout for two, has his
eye on making Eagle Scout, and
he already has his project in
mind.
“I’d like to help build a house,”
he said.
Although it was many years
ago, Brown clearly remembers his
Eagle Scout project. He was in
Bellingham, Wash., and one of
the city’s parks has a small lake.
“I made mileage markers along
the walking path that goes around
the lake,” he said, smiling at the
fond memory. “It was nice to get
a chance to do that.”
While the camping and out-
door skills are valuable, Elaine
Chavez has found her boys, 14-
year-old Isaac, a Scout for four
years, and 12-year-old Michael,
a Scout for five, getting some-
thing more out of the program.
“It teaches teamwork,” she
says.
Arlene Kreps, Eric’s mom, also
found some unexpected bene-
fits.
“This has taught him how to
deal with boys his own age,” she
said. “He’s gained friends.”
Every unit needs adult leaders
like Estabrook. There are a num-
ber of opportunities to become
involved with Scouting as a vol-
unteer. Oxnard and Port Huen-
eme Cub Scout, Boy Scout and
Sea Scout units are in need of ad-
ditional Youth Leaders.
For more information on
Scouting at NBVCor in the local
community, contact Carolyn
Dosick at 484-3419 or retired
Capt. Steve Huber at 807-7110.
Both sides agree: Scouting dovetails with military service

Carol Frash, human resource specialist
for Naval Base Ventura County, recently
received a 2010 Workforce Investment
Board (WIB) Award for helping introduce
young people to career opportunities avail-
able at NBVC.
“Carol knows firsthand what an open
door can mean,” said Steve Kinney, WIB
chair. “Her opportunity came when she
was hired as a student aide by the Naval
Construction Battalion Center at Port
Hueneme. She’s now been a federal work-
er for 24 years.”
Frash worked with the WIB and com-
mands in developing summer jobs in 2009
for 29 students at NBVCPoint Mugu and
Port Hueneme. The students came from
all over Ventura County and worked full
time for a total of 120 hours.
Most of the jobs were clerical.
“This was a good opportunity for man-
agers and supervisors to share their work
experiences with the students, and for stu-
dents to see what going to a full-time job
every day is like,” Frash explained. “They
also sawhoweducation, is important when
it comes to getting a job.”
The programwas administered through
Cal Works, so the students came from
lower-income families.
“They’re learning,” Frash said. “They
knowto get up and go to school every day,
but a job is different. They have to show
up on time, they have to come back from
lunch on time, they need to know that
when they’re on the job, they have to be
doing that job.”
Surprisingly, she said, the biggest prob-
lem she saw wasn’t texting or improper
attire or even punctuality.
It was a lack of confidence.
“Most don’t ask questions,” she said.
“Alot of themwere unsure. Students need
to be just be themselves and have the con-
fidence that they can do the job.”
About 40 high school students applied
for the program, and interviews were con-
ducted at a local Boys and Girls Club.
“For most of them, this was their first
interview,” Frash said.
The success of the program wasn’t a
one-way street. Frash said the students
brought a newperspective to the base and
the people they worked with.
“They brought a younger attitude into
the office,” she explained. “They brought
in a different feeling. We come in every
day, day in and day out, and they were a
breath of fresh air.”
Ed Vicuna, director of NBVC’s Human
Resources Office, agreed.
“You can think of this as a reseeding of
the forest,”he said, noting that many base
employees are nearing retirement.
“Also,” he added, “we are not an over-
resourced organization. The benefit went
both ways.”

They jumped rope, they jumped hurdles,
they simply jumped up and down.
Whatever the exercise, the participants
in this particular physical training were
following in their parents’ footsteps —lit-
erally.
Friday, Sept. 10, was a Family PT for
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4,
and dozens of youngsters joined their
moms and dads for a solid morning work-
out that included everything frompushups
to laps around the Port Hueneme track.
“Look at all these little ones!” said an
amazed Builder 2nd Class Thomas Thorn-
ton.
Thornton brought his own 12-week-old,
Timothy, and even though the baby was
too young to bounce a ball or jump a
hurdle, the excitement had him wiped out
after an hour.
Shanna Selfors of the BeeFit Center
coordinated the event, one of two con-
ducted during each homeport. It is de-
signed to not only get kids active and
promote childhood fitness, but also to give
the children a peek into their parents’ work
day.
“It gets them to realize what their par-
ents do,” Thornton said. “When they see
that Daddy’s going to work, they know
what it is he does.”

In January 2009, the Civil Engineer Corps Officer
School (CECOS) Environmental Training Division pi-
loted a two-day course as part of the LCDRIndoctrina-
tion/Leadership Seminar that is tailored for Civil Engi-
neer Corps (CEC) officers.
The course content focuses on their roles as installation
environmental directors in support of Public Works Of-
ficer billets.
OPNAVINST5090.1Crequires that CECofficers take
the CECOS Environmental Protection (EP) course. This
3.5-day course is offered several times a year regional-
ly.
In an effort to ease the burden of CEC officers being
away from their desks for the full course duration, the
course director, Nina Anderson, proposed a tailored of-
fering for CECofficers. CSFEgranted a waiver for CEC
officers who successfully complete the two-day course
(Environmental Protection for CEC officers) to receive
full credit for the EP course.
During the pilot and subsequent regional offerings, it
became clear to Anderson that the course focus needed
to expand to include the CEC officer’s Facility Engineer
Acquisition Division/Resident Officer in Charge of Con-
struction roles in construction and project management
and the environmental concerns therein.
The course is now a robust training effort that gives
CEC officers a good foundation for understanding en-
vironmental requirements and the tools to provide lead-
ership and management of this aspect of their respon-
sibilities.
The course is organized into two distinct one-day les-
sons: compliance and management.
During the compliance day, instructors provide com-
pressed instruction of the major environmental laws and
regulations that CEC officers must be familiar with.
The management day includes team instruction on
Environmental Management Systems, Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)/LowImpact
Development and the National Environmental Policy
Act. The goal is to provide a practical application con-
text for CEC officers using scenarios that look at how
to prevent, or solve, problems that may occur.
The course has been well-received by the officers. Stu-
dent course critique comments include: “This is exactly
what I need;”“I hadn’t even realized my level of respon-
sibility until this course;” and “I really appreciated tak-
ing this course with other CEC officers.”
There are a limited number of upcoming regional
course offerings. However, the annual January offering
as part of the LCDRIndoctrination/Leadership Seminar
held at CECOS in Port Hueneme is open to all CEC
officers.
If you have any questions, please contact the course
director at [email protected].
The next regional offering will be Oct. 26-28 in San
Diego. The third day of this course, which is optional,
is “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Opportu-
nities.”Scott Sklar will discuss renewable energy technol-
ogy and projects and will also present information on
power purchase agreements, whereby the Navy can enjoy
the benefits of clean, onsite energy without capital com-
mitment via third party ownership. This is a valuable
addition to the training and is highly recommended.

redefine the Navy in Ventura County,”said
Rear Adm. Frederic R. Ruehe, Com-
mander, Navy Region Southwest and cer-
emony guest speaker. “The two commands
are evolving into a completely new full-
service organization that will be one of
the major naval installations on the West
Coast. There is no consolidation like this
in the region.”
In his remarks to the audience of over
900 guests assembled in an aircraft hangar
at Point Mugu, Ruehe acknowledged the
long road and extensive planning which
went into the regionalization project. He
pointed out the benefits of both bases: the
deep-water port and mobilization aspects
of Port Hueneme, and the airfield and test
range at Point Mugu. He also stressed the
economic impact the Navy has in Ven-
tura County.
“This is a culmination of years of plan-
ning,” stated Ruehe. “The move makes
sense to the Navy in Ventura County. It
not only unifies the Navy in the area, but
will also enable us to provide a uniform
level of high quality service to all our fleet
units in Ventura County.”
The ceremony marked the last step in
the regionalization process, which began
here in 1998. Both CBC and NAS have
merged under a single command, with
Capt. Jim Rainwater as commanding of-
ficer. NBVC reports to the Commander-
In-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet, via regional
management by Commander, Navy Re-
gion Southwest. NBVC provides the Pa-
cific Fleet with a premier mobilization site,
complete with a deep-water harbor, rail
head and airfield.
NAS has disestablished and CBC be-
comes an NBVC tenant under the com-
mand of Capt. Jim McConnell. CBC will
continue to support the Naval Construc-
tion Force.
Before turning over command of the
Port Hueneme site to NBVC, CBC Com-
manding Officer Capt. Jim McConnell
likened the turnover to a father giving
away his daughter in marriage. He illus-
trated a father’s joy and excitement in the
beauty of the day, but also the feeling of
loss as she steps into the care of anoth-
er.
McConnell praised the work done by
everyone during the pre-establishment
period. He encouraged the new com-
manding officer of NBVC to focus on
continued projects such as a port con-
solidation project with the Oxnard Har-
bor District, and the continued well be-
ing of the people working on the bases
who have been affected by the changes
and restructuring this merger has
brought.
“For many months their (the employ-
ees) future has been uncertain,” he said.
“You have the power to change that.
They are loyal workers and dedicated
professionals, and they deserve that.”
Following the reading of the official
establishment orders and the changing
of the command flag from the NAS to
NBVC, Capt. Jim Rainwater exchanged
a salute with Ruehe, shook hands with
McConnell and officially became the
first commanding officer of NBVC.
“I stand here today about to embark
on the greatest and most challenging job
I have ever had since joining the Navy,”
Rainwater said.
Rainwater looked back at the impact
Point Mugu has had on his career, first
as a young boy at an air show with a
dream of flying Navy jets, to tours at
squadrons based out of Point Mugu and
command of the entire base. These im-
pacts, he explained, gave him a deep
sense of loyalty to the area and a com-
mitment to its people.
Rainwater, like Ruehe, emphasized the
assets of each site and the unity they
now share as one of the strong points
of the Navy in the Pacific, and how
NBVC will impact the Navy around the
world through its mobilization and
weapons testing capabilities.
“What is really important is to show
the world what a crown jewel the Navy
has here in Ventura County,” said Rain-
water. “With the drawdowns and base
closures throughout the military, we are
running out of assets like this one. Not
many bases can boast all the resources
we have here.
“There is no other base like it liter-
ally in the United States,” he empha-
sized.

NBVC: 10 years ago, base consolidated into one installation
tangled roots, which stretch into indige-
nous Mexico, then branch out and back
in time to Spain and Hungary —and even
China and Africa, the cradle of man.
“I’m African first, and I’ll never forget
that,” Olmos said. “I’m also from China
and the indigenous people of Mexico and
Hungary — and that’s what makes me
brown!”
The more recent past is also important
to Olmos, who values his close ties to fam-
ily. He was raised in a multigenerational
household, with parents, grandparents
and great-grandparents all under the same
roof.
“I hope I can give my great-grandchil-
dren the wisdom that was given to me by
my great-grandfather,” Olmos said.
At 63, Olmos has no qualms about
growing older.
“I want to reach 120,” he said. “You’re
experiencing my midlife crisis.”
But age doesn’t always bring wisdom,
he pointed out. In fact, he said, “The
older I get the more I don’t know.”
Olmos has spent more than 40 years as
an actor. He received an Academy Award
nomination for his portrayal of Los An-
geles teacher Jaime Escalante in 1998’s
“Stand and Deliver,” and he had a con-
tinuing role as Rear Adm. WilliamAdama
in “Battlestar Galactica.”
“Remember,”he said, pointing to Capt.
Jim McHugh, commanding officer of
NBVC, who was sitting in the front row,
“I am an admiral.”
Delia P. Aldrete, co-chair of the His-
panic Heritage Program Committee, said
it was Olmos’ portrayal of Escalante that
prompted her to suggest Olmos as a speak-
er for the event, which was a joint presen-
tation of NBVC and NSWC-PHD.
“It was everything I expected,”she said,
“and more.”
McHugh said it is important to com-
memorate Hispanic Heritage Month to
celebrate the diversity of today’s military
and the Navy in particular.
“The Navy’s strength is a product of
that diversity,” he said.

Who really was the Lone Woman of San
Nicolas Island (SNI), and how did she
survive alone for 18 years on the most
remote of the Channel Islands?
Steven Schwartz, an environmental pro-
tection specialist with NAVAIR and a
senior archaeologist for the U.S. Navy, will
untangle the facts of her legend from the
“fictitious realities”created around her on
Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Museum of Ven-
tura County in downtown Ventura.
He will share newdiscoveries about her,
as well as his insights from more than 20
years studying the terrain and history of
SNI, which is now part of Naval Base
Ventura County.
The 3 p.m. presentation is $5 for the
general public and free for museummem-
bers. Price includes admission to all mu-
seum galleries.
For reservations call 653-0323, ext.
315.
Schwartz will discuss what is known
today about the Lone Woman, presenting
the latest archival discoveries. With the
advent of electronic archives, previously
unknown articles have been uncovered
that change some longstanding percep-
tions of her history.
He is also scheduled to give this talk at
Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,
on Nov. 17 in recognition of Native Amer-
ican Month.

Retired Army Spec. LyVell Gipson, left, talks with Marty Martinez,
who runs the Navy Safe Harbor project, about athletic opportunities
available to military personnel who have been wounded in the line
of duty.
The American Legion Post 48 of Ox-
nard is encouraging people to gather
along the fenceline of Naval Base Ven-
tura County and at Missile Park the
morning of Saturday, Oct. 9, to cheer on
some 200 bicyclists riding on behalf of
Wounded Warriors.
The cyclists will be making the last leg
of the Ride 2 Recovery, an effort to bring
attention to the Wounded Warriors pro-
gram. They’re scheduled to leave the Vet-
erans Affairs hospital in San Francisco
on Oct. 3 and arrive at the Santa Monica
Pier on Oct. 9, staying in Ventura the eve-
ning of Oct. 8.
The first wave of riders is expected to
reach the fenceline of NBVC Port Hue-
neme around 9:45 a.m., then pedal along
Channel Islands Boulevard and Ventura
Road before turning left onto Hueneme
Road. The second wave is expected to ar-
rive about half an hour later.
The cyclists will then ride down Huen-
eme Road to Frontage Road, where they’ll
turn right, pass Missile Park, and turn
left on Las Posas Road before heading
down Highway 1 for the Santa Monica
Pier.
For more information, call 983-3536 or
983-0418.
cyclists for Wounded Warriors need support oct. 9
making NBVC a center of excellence.”
Fred Morgan, athletic director of Mo-
rale, Welfare and Recreation, which will
oversee the training facilities, called it an
honor to be able to host the Navy’s and
Coast Guard’s competitive athletes who
were injured while serving their country.
“We will be the only base in the world
serving as a training site, and that is an
honor,” he said. “I see this as the next
level of an athletic program that is provid-
ing world-class service.”
Since 1993, NBVC has served as a train-
ing site for Navy athletes in several differ-
ent sports, and it continues to host both
Navywide and militarywide sports com-
petitions. The Navy Boxing Champion-
ships are held at NBVC Port Hueneme
every spring, and the U.S. Armed Forces
Boxing Championships are held in the
Warfield Gym every four years, drawing
up to 1,000 spectators. The base also hosts
the U.S. Armed Forces Triathlon every
year at Point Mugu.
Through the years, NBVC has helped
train Navy athletes in track and field, bas-
ketball and volleyball.
A Wounded Warrior Fitness Center
opened at the BeeFit Gym in May, and
that is where much of the training will
take place when the athletes begin arriving
in December.
The base also has an aquatic chair lift
that offers access to the main pool at the
Port Hueneme swim complex, an adaptive
golf cart that is kept at Port Hueneme,
bowling assist ramps at both the Port Hue-
neme and Point Mugu bowling alleys,
hearing enhancement devices at both
Needham and Point Mugu theaters and
the Wounded Warrior Walkway and water
wheelchair that gives full accessibility to
the beach and ocean at Point Mugu.
Ismael “Marty” Martinez, Western
U.S. assistant operations officer for Navy
Safe Harbor, which runs the Navy’s
Wounded Warrior program through the
Chief of Naval Operations office, toured
NBVC’s facilities shortly before the half
marathon and liked what he saw.
“These are outstanding facilities, ex-
actly what we need,” he said.
There are about 600 athletes in the Na-
vy’s Wounded Warrior program, with 50
to 100 of them training to compete in the
Warrior Games each year.
This year’s games, a joint effort between
the U.S. Olympic Committee and the De-
partment of Defense, are set for May 16-
21 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in
Colorado Springs. More than 200 athletes
from the Navy, Coast Guard, Army, Ma-
rine Corps, and Air Force are expected to
compete in such events as wheelchair bas-
ketball, sitting volleyball, archery, swim-
ming, cycling, shooting and track and
field.
Two war-wounded veterans visited
NBVC on Sept. 18 as part of the half-
marathon activities and were excited about
the prospect of Wounded Warriors train-
ing on the base.
“This kind of collaboration is really
important,” said retired Army Spec.
LyVell Gipson of Hollywood, who un-
derwent 42 reconstructive surgeries on
his leg after a suicide bomber attacked
while he was on patrol in Iraq in Octo-
ber of 2004.
Retired Army Sgt. Javier Torres of
Santa Monica, who was shot three times
in his legs and feet when his Humvee
was ambushed near Kandahar, Afghan-
istan, in 2005, agreed that bases need
to be made as accessible to Wounded
Warriors as possible.
“I love the idea,” he said. “Living in
the civilian world is different. When you
come through the gates of a military
base, it’s like entering a whole other
world.”

Running alongside the Pacific Ocean
conjures up thoughts of several beautiful
places, but only two destinations were on
the minds of many who ran the Sept. 18
Wounded Warrior Half Marathon at Na-
val Base Ventura County:
The finish line and Chicago.
With the Oct. 10 Chicago Marathon
only three weeks ahead of this half mara-
thon, many elite runners in the area took
advantage of the Point Mugu event for a
training run.
Among them were the male and female
winners, Josh Spiker, 28, of Ventura, who
came in 8 minutes ahead of the second-
place finisher with a time of 1:07:29.0, and
Jenni Johnson, 30, of Tustin, who came
in seventh overall with a time of
1:24:27.1.
The half marathon brought in 241 run-
ners, and another 123 ran a 5k that start-
ed shortly after. Also part of the morning’s
events was a Military Mile in which three
banner-carrying commands took part:
Fleet Readiness Center, Naval Facilities
Expeditionary Logistics Center and Air
Test and Evaluation Squadron VX-30.
All proceeds from the three runs went
to continuing adaptations to NBVC to
increase its accessibility to the Wounded
Warrior population.
Thanks to Chicago, half marathon
draws a large crop of elite runners
The top women’s finisher, Jenni Johnson, drove
from Tustin to take part in the half marathon,
figuring it was a perfect training opportunity for
the upcoming Chicago Marathon. She finished
with a time of 1:24:27.2.

Museum: ‘No one ever gets to see one when it’s still empty’
to see the building,” Godbille said. “Peo-
ple like going to museums, but no one ever
gets to see one when it’s still empty. This
way, they can see the process of how a
museum works, how it’s put together.
Tours will be offered the first and third
Tuesday and the first Saturday of every
month, and with each monthly visit, peo-
ple can see freshly installed exhibits. The
official grand opening is planned for the
fall of 2011.
Right now, all that’s installed is a Cat-
erpillar D-7, a World War II-era, cable-
operated bulldozer; a contemporary Hum-
vee; and, outside, a fountain made from
a bulldozer blade.
But when Godbille begins her walk-
through, the museum comes to life.
The first thing she points out in the re-
ception area and grand hallway is howthe
building itself illustrates what the Seabees
do: The floors are concrete, and the pipes
and air ducts have been left exposed.
The museum has a south gallery, which
will feature exhibits on the World War II-
era Seabees, and a north gallery, which
will feature Seabee life afterwards.
“The south gallery is immersive, mean-
ing people will walk in and feel like they’re
stepping back in time,”Godbille explained.
“There will be a theater marquee, a ticket
booth for our ‘Fighting Seabees’ exhibit,
a newsstand that will give some historical
context and a theater done in art deco style
in which we’ll show an introductory film
on the World War II history of the Sea-
bees.”
These exhibits explaining why the U.S.
became involved in World War II set the
stage for exhibits detailing the Seabees’
role in the war.
“We move into a ‘Come, join the Sea-
bees’ part of the museum,”Godbille said.
“We’ll have Seabee camps and training
centers. Then we’ll explain what the Sea-
bees did and the massive amount of ma-
terials that were sent overseas.”
This will lead into the basic World War
II strategy of Five Roads to Victory.
Exhibits about the two Atlantic “roads”
to defeat Germany’s Adolf Hitler will in-
clude information about amphibious at-
tacks in Italy and Normandy and march-
es into Europe, including a street scene.
The three Pacific “roads” to defeat Ja-
pan will explain the Seabee ingenuity used
in Pacific Islands construction projects.
That ties in to the last exhibit in this
area: the Enola Gay pit, a replica of the
hole the Seabees dug so the atomic bomb
could be attached to the Enola Gay, the
plane that dropped the bomb on Hiro-
shima.
“Then, with victory in hand, people will
decompress from the immersive experi-
ence,” Godbille explained. “We’ll discuss
the material loss and the human loss sus-
tained in the war and move into the post-
war years, especially 1947, which is when
the Seabees became a permanent part of
the Navy.
Open house visitors will walk over a
strip of plywood to cross into the Civil
Engineer Corps (CEC) gallery. Eventu-
ally, the plywood will be replaced with
different types of material used to build
runways, from coral to contemporary as-
phalt.
Godbille is especially proud of the plans
for a hands-on area for children in the
CEC gallery.
“School groups will be able to come here
not just for history lessons, but also for
math and science,”she said. “We’ll discuss
all the principles of civil engineering and
public works — water, electricity, plumb-
ing. How do you move massive amounts
of materials? What do pulleys do? These
are some of the questions we’ll answer.”
The north gallery is smaller but posed
different challenges for the museum
staff.
“We couldn’t make the post-World War
II gallery chronological, because then it
would get redundant,”Godbille explained.
“We had to take a more thematic ap-
proach.”
And so there’s a room that explains
roads, bridges and convoys — the room
that houses the Humvee. There’s a room
that explains amphibious construction,
especially as it applies to the Korean
War.
There’s a room that details the special
duties of Seabees, and this is where the
highly popular Antarctic exhibit will make
its new home.
There will also be displays on Cold War
construction; massive infrastructure proj-
ects; and specialties such as petroleum, oil
and lubricants and underwater construc-
tion.
There will also be an area devoted to
“the comforts of home” — how the Sea-
bees live overseas, from construction of
latrines to the drilling of wells.
The gallery closes with a “We Help, We
Care”collection that illustrates the various
humanitarian projects Seabees have con-
ducted since World War II.
“Our goal here is to show how Seabees
have touched the lives of people all around
the world,” Godbille said.
In addition to the museum galleries,
there’s an education room that will be
open to the community for seminars and
small meetings, a catering kitchen that can
accommodate food for parties of up to
200 people, and staff offices that are a far
cry from the current cramped quarters in
a Quonset hut. For one thing, these new
offices have windows.
What the public sees is only the tip of
the Seabee Museum iceberg. Behind the
“Staff Only” doors lie state-of-the-art ar-
chival rooms with dehumidification con-
trols designed to keep the nearly 12,000
artifacts and 9,000 linear feet of docu-
ments safely preserved for future genera-
tions.
Curator KimCrowell and archivist Gina
Nichols were stunned when they saw the
spacious collections room for the first
time.
“It’s like super cotton candy,” Crowell
said with a huge grin. “We’ve been waiting
a long time for this.”
There’s a room that backs up to a load-
ing dock where new donations are docu-
mented, then a processing room where
they’re officially added to the collection.
The museum receives between 250 and
400 new artifacts a year.
Right now, it seems overwhelming for
just four people: Godbille, Crowell, Nich-
ols and exhibit curator Bill Shaner. God-
bille said the staff will be putting out a
call for volunteers in January. There will
be a special need for docents and in-
terns.
While many challenges await, the staff
is relieved to be moving out of the two
postwar Quonset huts that make up the
current 54-year-old museum.
They’re glad to have air conditioning, a
functional heating system and toilets that
flush on a consistent basis.
“Best of all,” Nichols said, “there’s no
grunge.”

a variety of difficult and complex work
assignments. Her responsiveness and fol-
low-up is instrumental in awarding facil-
ity support contracts in a timely manner
and avoiding any breaks in services for the
customer.”
• Latting, a water treatment plant op-
erator, took on the challenge of working
at SNI, even though it wasn’t in his posi-
tion description.
“His dedication and commitment to this
organization were the reasons he decided
to take on this challenging responsibility,”
the nomination formstates. “He planned,
procured and implemented a new proce-
dure for storing and distributing potable
water on SNI. He and his crew installed
four 75,000-gallon water bladders at the
Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant,
which reduced the water offload time from
the barge from 48 to 24 hours. The reduc-
tion in offload time was significant for
three reasons: (1) reduced maritime con-
tractor costs (barge amd tug crews); (2)
enabled water operators to store and dis-
tribute water to the supported commands
in a more effective and timely manner; and
(3) less time spent on the rough seas dur-
ing offload reduced the chances for mis-
haps.
• Volden, a base support vehicles and
equipment supervisor with Maintenance
and Inspection, Transportation and
Cranes, revitalized the crane program at
NBVC.
“An outstanding supervisor, he devel-
oped and supervised a rigorous training,
certification and self-assessment program
which led to an 80 percent reduction in
audit findings from the Navy Crane Cen-
ter’s annual Weight Handling Equipment
Audit,” the nomination form states. “He
is the Certifying Official for over 300
cranes and hoists.
“In addition, Volden is thoroughly in-
volved with and constantly communicates
with both the Navy Crane Center and our
customers to maintain positive relations,
ensure 100 percent mission support for
our customers and to keep our cranes up
to date with all the latest safety require-
ments.”
• Clampitt, a civil engineering techni-
cian, is recognized as a paving expert.
“Despite being relatively new to his po-
sition, he is a proven and valuable asset
to our organization by providing accurate
and on-time project execution,” the nom-
ination form states. Clampitt “has quick-
ly become the ‘go to guy’ for all pavement
repair projects by assuming the workload
of two recently retired paving experts.
“In this fiscal year alone, he has execut-
ed over $3 million in paving projects as
well as $2 million in other facilities repair
projects.
“Though relied upon for all paving proj-
ect execution, Clampitt willingly accepts
an extremely diverse workload such as
repairing water distribution system lines,
interior and exterior building renovations,
fencing installation and emergency erosion
control projects.”
• Torres, a utilities supervisor, has been
in his current position for nine years.
“He has personally repaired a series of
crippling base-wide and other mission-
critical power outages at Point Mugu, Port
Hueneme and San Nicolas Island,” the
nomination form states.
“When the 1000 KVA transformer at
Pier 6 in Port Hueneme caught fire, pow-
er was lost at the Naval Surface Warfare
Center Self Defense Test Ship. He discon-
nected the power, troubleshot and repaired
the transformer within two hours.
“When the Point Mugu base communi-
cations building lost power due to a short
in the primary feed 500 MCM cable, he
quickly set up an emergency generator to
avoid damage to sensitive communications
equipment and repaired the cable within
24 hours.
“When the two main feeds to the indus-
trial area at Point Mugu suffered cata-
strophic failure in the lead cable, he de-
vised a way to backfeed the facilities
through a tentative switching of feeders
that others did not know was possible.
“Lastly, he spent countless hours on San
Nicolas Island (SNI) developing major
maintenance projects, training his employ-
ees on the electrical generation and distri-
bution center, and troubleshooting emer-
gency repairs.”
CONTINUED FROM 8
Public Works employees recognized for expertise, professionalism
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
Karen Davis Thompson grew up with
unanswered questions.
Her father had died when she was a
baby, and for most of her life, she knew
little more than the fact that he was a
Seabee and that his death involved a
construction accident in the Solomon
Islands during World War II.
It took more than half a century, but
earlier this month, Thompson finally
found some closure.
It came in a folder tucked away in the
9,000 linear feet of documents that
make up the archives of the U.S. Seabee
Museum at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Port Hueneme.
Thompson had seen documents stat-
ing that her father was with Construc-
tion Battalion Maintenance Unit 587,
and that’s all the museum staff need-
ed.
“They knew right where to go,”
Thompson said. “We found a file, and
right on top were letters in my grand-
mother’s and mother’s handwriting ask-
ing about my father’s death.”
The commanding officer had respond-
ed, explaining that Glenn Davis had
been unloading a pile driver near Fala-
mai Village on Mono Island when a
cable snapped. Davis fell, fracturing his
skull. He died the next day without ever
regaining consciousness.
Thompson remembered seeing the
commander’s letter among her mother’s
effects, but her grandmother, who died
more than 40 years ago, had never men-
tioned a letter.
There was more in the file.
There were letters about her father’s
pay and insurance. There was a log book
entry dated July 13, 1944, stating that
someone had sent for the chaplain. That
was the day of the accident.
There was a notation that the com-
mander was asking all men not working
to come to her father’s service.
And there was a small drawing of a
very important place: Plot 1, Row 2,
Grave 11.
After the war, Thompson’s mother
and grandmother had requested that
Glenn Davis’ remains be disinterred
from the island and sent to a cemetery
near their home in Pennsylvania. None-
theless, to this daughter, a drawing of
her father’s original grave helped relieve
years of grief and mystery.
“Every tangible thing makes a differ-
ence,” Thompson said. “Letters, a draw-
ing — it all makes a difference.”
Thompson came all the way to Port
Hueneme from her home in Ohio to find
these tangible things.
“I’m getting older myself,” she ex-
plained. “It’s time to tie up the ribbons
of my life.”
Thompson had high praise for the
museum staff, especially Director Lara
Godbille and Archivist Gina Nichols.
“Lara was really kind,” Thompson
said. “She clarified a lot for me. I
thought my father was a young Seabee;
he died when he was 33, and I’d always
pictured him a more like a big brother
to the other Seabees. But the average
age of the Seabees during World War II
was 37, so that paints a different pic-
ture.”
Thompson’s research was some of the
last to take place before the museum
closes to the public for a year. Beginning
Sept. 30, there will be no access to the
collections until the museum opens in
its new building sometime next fall.
Godbille was pleased and relieved that
Thompson got in under the wire and
that she found some of the peace she
was looking for.
“These kinds of answers are impor-
tant,” Godbille said. “Really, they can
change people’s lives.”

the 9,000 linear feet of documents in the
old Seabee Museum. The collections are
closed to the public effective Sept. 30, but

information about her father, who died on
the Solomon Islands during World War II.
