LSC Sunshine Andaya of Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 14 officially achieves the rank of chief as her 11-
year-old son, Austin, pins the chiefs insignia onto her lapel. Pinning ceremonies like this one took place all
over the world Tuesday, Sept. 16. The one at Naval Base Ventura County was held in Hangar 553, in front of
a massive flag, with several E-2C Hawkeye aircraft in the background.

From miles around, families
flew in to Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Point Mugu to
watch their loved ones officially
become chief petty officers of the
Navy during a traditional pinning
ceremony Tuesday, Sept. 16.
In front of a massive flag in
Hangar 553, alongside several E-
2C aircraft, a crowd of about
1,000 watched 50 first class petty
officers move up in rate. They
were among the 4,600 Sailors
worldwide who achieved E-7 that
day.
In groups of six, the soon-to-be
chiefs stood in front of the flag

WHATS INSIDE
WHATS AHEAD
Effective Monday, Sept. 29, only
commercial vehicles may enter
through the Victoria Gate at Naval
Base Ventura County, Port Huen-
eme; personnel will still be able to
exit through Victoria Gate from 6
a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday, except holidays.
To accommodate morning and
lunchtime needs, Patterson Gate
will be open to personal vehicles
from 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Mon-
day through Friday, except holi-
days. Only vetted individuals with
regular base access may use Pat-
terson Gate; those needing escort
or access assistance should use
Sunkist Gate.
The change is necessary to re-
duce congestion, which is causing
traffic to back up onto Victoria
Avenue.
Our biggest concern is safety,
said Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVCs
commanding officer. Vehicle con-
gestion on the road, particularly in
the left-turn lane, has led people to
take dangerous risks just trying to
come to work or get home to their
families.
Increased security measures that
were put in place after a number
of deadly shootings nationwide
added to the congestion at the al-
ready-busy Victoria Gate. Com-
mercial vehicles are more closely
scrutinized, and drivers are screened
in-place; this can cause delays that
add to the congestion.
By moving inbound personal
vehicles to the Patterson Gate, the
installation can use all three in-
bound lanes to stage, screen, in-
spect and process commercial ve-
hicles. This should free up much of
the congestion and relieve the
safety concerns plaguing Victoria
Avenue during peak traffic times.
Three other gates are also avail-
able for personnel entering or leav-
ing the installation: Sunkist Gate,
next to the Navy Exchange, is open
24 hours a day, seven days a week;
Pleasant Valley and Bard Gates are
open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday
through Friday, except holidays.
Gate changes start Sept. 29 at NBVC Port Hueneme

Question: One of my co-workers told me that
Department of Defense civilians can now shop
at the NEX. Is that true?
Answer: Thank you for giving me the oppor-
tunity to address this question, which Im sure is
on a lot of minds.
Yes, its true, but with certain restrictions.
The Navy Exchange allows civilians to use their
food services, so you can eat at the food court.
Recently, the NEX issued clarification of their
existing guidance, and as of Sept. 1, 2014, DoD
civilians can purchase single-use food items at
the NEX. Essentially, you can grab lunch, but
you cant go grocery or school supply shopping
at the Exchange.
Please note, cashiers will still be checking
IDs at the registers, and non-food items are not
permitted as civilian purchases, nor can you
purchase alcohol. Tobacco is also off-limits, as
is gasoline; so no fueling up at the station.
Do you have questions, comments, or sug-
gestions? I want to hear them! Reach me here
by emailing lighthouse@navy.mil, on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty
or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifor-
nia. You can also go online to our homepage at
http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and use
the Commanding Officers Suggestion Box. I
look forward to hearing from you.
Can civilians shop at the NEX these days?

Senior Deputy Steve Hanie of the Ventura County Sheriffs Office talks with AMAN Kevin
Huey of the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, Detachment Point Mugu, during the career
fair Wednesday, Sept. 17.

More than 500 people stopped by the Bee-Hive Gym at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme for the Fleet & Family Support Center Career Fair Wednesday, Sept. 17.
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse
About 500 people in various stages
of the job-hunting process attended the
Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC)
Career Fair Wednesday, Sept. 17, at
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
What a great day! said Irene Tire-
lla, the FFSC work and family life con-
sultant who organized the event. The
feedback I received from both employ-
ers and participants was encouraging.
Service members were thrilled with the
options of employers and jobs of-
fered.
Tirella said she talked with several
job-seekers who left the career fair with
three or four companies having shown
a genuine interest in what they had to
offer.
Employers were equally impressed
with the candidates that passed
through, she said. I heard nothing but
positive feedback from both ends.
About 75 businesses with current job
openings attended the fair, as did four
schools.
Construction Electrician 3rd Class
John Ralph and Construction Electri-
cian 3rd Class Travis Mitchell, both
with Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion (NMCB) 5, stopped at several
booths, even though they plan to stay
in the Navy for a few more years.
This is an opportunity to look at the
options and see whats out there, Ralph
said. This is a really diverse group.
The Seabees were standing in front
of the California Conservation Corps
booth; behind them was a booth for
Hilton Hotels. Nearby was Schneider
Electric, which represents 88 companies
and has 140,000 employees around the
globe. Its headquarters are in Paris.
Closer to home, Deputy Brian Ketel-
hut of the Riverside County Sheriff s
Department chatted with Equipment
Operator 3rd Class Mark Bellinger of
NMCB 5.
This is one option, said Bellinger,
who has another year left in the Navy.
Im keeping all my options open.
Ketelhut said his department is hiring
in the hundreds.
We have a lot of positions open right
now, he said. And military bases are
a great place to recruit for law enforce-
ment jobs.
Calling it a comfortable fit, he
noted that applicants with military
backgrounds know the routines and
like the structure.
Steve Hanie, a senior deputy in back-
ground investigations with the Ventura
County Sheriff s Office, agreed.
They bring so much discipline,
maturity, confidence and life experi-
ence, he said.
He chatted at length with Aviation
Structural Mechanic Airman Kevin
Huey of the Fleet Readiness Center
Southwest, Detachment Point Mugu.
Huey is leaving the military in Decem-
ber after five years.
Id like to get something that paral-
lels what Ive been doing in the mili-
tary, he explained, adding that the
Sheriff s Department has aircraft.
He said he was grateful to the Navy
for putting on the career fair and to
the employers who attended.
This is a great opportunity, he said.
Transitioning out of the military is a
lot more difficult than people realize.
I appreciate people taking the time to
come here for this.
Present, future job-seekers attend FFSC Career Fair
Schools can use every cent they can get.
Soon, many students will bring home a
form that could allow your childs school
to receive additional much-needed funding.
The form will ask if you live or work on
federal property and ask a few more ques-
tions to gather more information. This data
is used by the district to apply for supple-
mental funding for federally connected
children.
This form, the Federal Survey Card, will
go out during the first few weeks in Octo-
ber. It applies to active-duty and Reserve
component and federal civilian workers.
The letter below, signed by Rear Adm.
Patrick J. Lorge, Navy Region Southwest
commander, was sent out Sept. 17 support-
ing participation in the federal survey:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I need your help! Your school age child
will be bringing home a Federal Survey
Card. I am asking you to fill out and
promptly return these cards. These cards
mean more federal money for local schools
by making up the short-fall of military
families who do not pay California state
taxes. It only takes a few minutes to do, so
please, lets do the right thing and get these
cards filled out so our schools qualify for
Federal Impact Aid funding and our
schools get the resources they deserve and
need. This means more resources for your
childs school, which is good for the School
District, but more importantly, good for
our kids!
By returning the Federal Survey Card,
school districts will be able to receive more
funding from the federal government
through the Impact Aid Program. The Im-
pact Aid Program is designed to directly
compensate local school districts for: (1)
local revenue lost due to the presence of
federally owned, and therefore, tax-exempt
property and (2) costs incurred due to fed-
erally connected students, such as the
children of armed services personnel work-
ing at a nearby military base. Unlike most
other forms of educational assistance, Im-
pact Aid disburses roughly $1.3 billion an-
nually in unrestricted federal funds direct-
ly to local school districts rather than
through state agencies.
Everyone is aware of the fiscal chal-
lenges facing our schools and the negative
effects these challenges have on our chil-
drens education. Your participation is the
only way we can ensure that our schools
receive the proper amount of federal aid
dollars. A low survey card return rate will
result in the loss of millions of federal dol-
lars that could otherwise benefit our local
schools and our childrens education.
Working together at home, at school
and on funding issues, we will prepare our
children for a successful future.
The Naval Base Ventura County school
liaison officer can be reached at 805-989-
5211 or at NBVC_SLO@navy.mil for any K-12
education-related matters.

My dad was a man on a mission, or
so it seemed as I watched him attach a
tow rope from his 85 Silverado to his
97 GMC. His objective was simple: tow
his old truck with his new truck. Con-
fidence shone on his face as he described
the task of pulling his Chevy from
Seguin to Austin, Texas.
In my amazement I asked, When you
tow with this truck, how are you going
to make the other one stop?
Im not, he said, grinning through
a mustache and a Camel Light. You
are.
At 14, I had driven my grandmother
to the hospital a few times and even
driven my dads truck once or twice, yet
I had valid and obvious doubts about
my abilities. My dad said it was simple.
He would haul us, and when it came time
to slow down, he would raise his hand
and that was the signal for me to pump
the brakes and then slowly apply them.
This plan seemed all kinds of wrong,
but I remember it as one of the few times
I didnt argue with my dad. I suppose I
wanted to prove myself.
So off we went.
As we slithered along the highway I
did my best to not wiggle between the
lanes. A mile ahead I saw a red light and
then my dads hand would rise, then I
would pump the brakes, due to their age,
and slowly apply them to a halt easy
day, I thought. However, on one occa-
sion my ADD kicked in, and I bumped
my dads new truck. He was upset. He
got out and came to my window and
calmly reminded me to pay attention to
his signal pump the brakes and slow
down. We made it to our destination,
and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
I thought of this lesson as I changed
my calendar the other day. There is
something about fall and football season
that makes me pump my brakes, if you
will. This is the season for what Tim
McGraw calls a slowdown.
Slowing down is vitally important.
When you consider that your time is
competed for every day, digressing or
slowing down must be intentional or it
doesnt happen. We pride ourselves in
our efficiency, which is to say we love
getting the most out of our time. But
the funny thing is, time doesnt work that
way. Time is actually less appreciated
the more it is occupied.
Having said all that, I present to you
this signal:
Begin to pump your brakes and slow-
ly apply them, and in doing so, you will
set yourself and your family up to savor
the holidays ahead.
Its time to start pumping your brakes

As a chief at the Naval Construction
Training Center (NCTC), home to some
of the youngest Sailors in the Navy, Chief
Construction Mechanic Anthony Moreno
has seen his share of suicide prevention
workshops.
Nothing, he said, compared to the one
he attended Tuesday, Sept. 16, at the Need-
ham Theater.
This was easily the best training weve
had on this topic, he said. This was by
far the most in-depth, the one I was most
emotionally drawn into.
About 350 Navy and Air Force students
most of them in that 18- to 24-year-old
age range that is most likely to commit
suicide showed up at the Needham
Theater. It was the second training of the
day; the first one at the Seabee Chapel
drew another 100.
The presenter was Kristine Barry-Olsen,
who gave a frank, deeply personal talk
about how her fathers suicide 34 years
ago changed the lives of those who loved
him especially the 15-year-old girl who
would suffer through years of self-loathing
and self-destructive behavior before re-
emerging as the strong, resilient woman
standing on the Needham stage.
It is so freeing to hear her story, said
Lt. Lesa Welliver, who invited Barry-Olsen
to speak at the Seabee Chapel last year
and asked that she return and give a sep-
A raw look at the aftermath of suicide

NMCB 5 Public Affairs
Seabees are known for their contingen-
cy construction skills: They build roads
and bridges, improve combat bases and
maintain utilities. But this cant happen if
they cant securely transport personnel,
equipment and materials. This is where a
Seabee battalions convoy security element
takes over.
In late summer, Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 5s convoy secu-
rity element (CSE) carried out a month-
long, four-phase training module that
began in the classrooms of Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) and continued
on to CSE live fire at the Seabee small
arms range. After that, it was on to the
combat convoy simulator and Combat
Town at NBVC Point Mugu. It all ended
with a field training exercise the last week
of August in the hilly terrain of Fort
Hunter Liggett in Central California.
The ultimate purpose of this training
was to educate the Seabees on the applica-
tion of techniques, tactics and procedures
essential to operating efficiently as a CSE
to improve the battalions war fighting
competence. It was also to train them for
convoy operations in a combat environ-
ment and ultimately prepare them for the
upcoming battalions field training exercise
(FTX) this fall and a future deployment.
The 58 Seabees assigned to CSE learned
to use the M-9 service pistol and the M-4
service rifle during the first phase of train-
ing. Moving from the classroom to the
open fields of Naval Construction Train-
ing Center to the small arms shooting

range, they were able to apply techniques such as transitioning
from one weapon to the other while continuing to engage a
target, shooting while moving and firing in close quarters.
The second phase of training took place at the combat convoy
simulator. The training included a planning phase where CSE
personnel developed their standard operating procedures, cre-
ated terrain models and conducted immediate action drills and
a mission brief. They executed their missions in a lifelike virtual
environment shown on eight separate movie screens surrounding
them.
Following a week in the simulator, they donned their heavy
armor vest and thick combat helmets and went to the home
station training lanes, more commonly known as Combat Town.
There, they learned tactics necessary to operate in a hostile urban
environment by jumping over walls, crawling through windows
and entering dark buildings.
On Aug. 23, after hurdling urban skills training, the CSE de-
ployed 224 miles north to Fort Hunter Liggett for the fourth
and final phase of their comprehensive training.
Loaded with blank rounds, they were able to apply all of the
skills they had been painstakingly developing and use them while
traversing the hilly landscapes of the 165,000-acre training range.
Temperatures there ranged from 94 degrees during the day to as
low as 50 degrees in the predawn morning.
Exhausted from five days of intense training, CSE returned
home August 28 a strong team, an unshakable group of mo-
tivated, skilled individuals.

will reopen at 1 p.m. that day.
The clinic at NBVC Point Mugu
will remain open.
For more information, call 805-
982-6320.
Hueneme clinic will be closed morning of Sept. 30
The Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Fire Department will be bringing
fire trucks and information to the Navy
Exchanges at NBVC Port Hueneme and
NBVC Point Mugu next month as part
of National Fire Prevention Week.
Oct. 5-11 is the week designated by the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) as the time to raise awareness of
key fire safety issues that could help pre-
vent fires and fire injuries in the home.
This years theme is Working Smoke
Alarms Save Lives, Test Yours Every
Month.
The Federal Fire Department will be at
the Point Mugu NEX Tuesday, Oct. 7,
from noon to 1 p.m.
Trucks and information booths will also
be set up at the Port Hueneme NEX
Thursday, Oct. 9, from noon to 1 p.m.
In keeping with this years theme, base
residents are urged to make sure that
smoke alarms are installed on every level
of their homes and kept in working order.
The alarms should be tested every month
and batteries replaced every year. All
smoke alarms should be replaced with a
new unit after 10 years.
Each member of the household needs
to know the family fire escape plan, and
that plan should be practiced twice a
year.
NBVC residents can learn more about
home fire safety by visiting NFPAs official
Fire Prevention Week web site at www.
firepreventionweek.org or by calling the
NBVC Fire Prevention Office at 805-989-
0112.

The annual flu season is here, and fam-
ily members and eligible beneficiaries can
receive influenza vaccines starting Oct. 14
at the Naval Branch Health Clinic at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
Vaccinations will be provided to all
military personnel (active duty and Re-
serve), dependents, retirees, mission-es-
sential or mission-critical Department of
Defense civilians and contract employees.
Depending on vaccination availability,
vaccinations may also be given to other
Department of Defense civilians.
All influenza vaccines will be provided
at no cost.
Preventive Medicine personnel from the
clinic will also be holding several com-
munity influenza vaccinations in front of
the Port Hueneme Commissary and Point
Mugu Navy Exchange during the months
of October and November. Check future
editions of The Lighthouse for actual
dates and times, or call the Preventive
Medicine office at 805-982-6316 or
6358.
Flu vaccines will also be available at the
clinic during regular clinic hours and will
continue to be offered throughout the flu
season.
The influenza vaccine is a one-dose
combo of seasonal influenza and H1N1
virus strains that will be given either in
mist (nasal) or injectible (shot) form.
The Centers for Disease Control states
that influenza vaccines are designed to
protect against influenza viruses that ex-
perts predict will be the most common
during the upcoming season. Three kinds
of flu viruses commonly circulate among
people today: Influenza A (H1N1) vi-
ruses, influenza A (H3N2) viruses and
influenza B viruses. All of the 2014-15
influenza vaccine is made to protect
against the following three viruses:
A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-
like virus
A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)-like virus
B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus.
Some of the 2014-15 flu vaccine also
protects against an additional B virus (B/
Brisbane/60/2008-like virus). Please refer
to the CDC website at www.CDC.gov or
www.Flu.gov for more information.

Anyone who drove by the Navy Lodge
parking lot on a recent Friday afternoon
probably had a question or two.
Like, Why did that housekeeper just
throw a toilet plunger? Or, Why is she
running around the parking lot with a
laundry cart?
Or, Why are they throwing tennis balls
through a toilet seat?
Friday, Sept. 12, was the annual Hos-
pitality Olympics, a wacky competition
among the Navy Lodge staff members
that tests their ability to stuff a pillowcase,
kick a roll of toilet paper across a parking
lot and, yes, hurl a toilet plunger javelin-
style.
Its a team-building experience and a
hospitality-building experience, Man-
ager Carla Vicens explained.
Ten Navy Lodge associates competed
in the events, which were organized and
judged by Vicens and manager-in-training
Kaitlin Mayall.
This is pretty cool, said Mayall, who
came from the Navy Lodge North Island
in San Diego and had never seen a Hos-
pitality Olympics.
Every Navy Lodge celebrates Hospital-
ity Week differently, Vicens explained.
The Navy Lodge has put on the Olym-
pics twice. The pillowcase stuff and the
race to build the highest tower out of
guest soaps were brought back from last
year, as was the relay race in the parking
lot, but the other competitions were
new.
Shei Ramboyong was determined to win
the pillowcase stuff I practiced this
morning at home, she said but she was
defeated by Dee Dee Manzano, who
stuffed four pillowcases in 46 seconds.
Betina Reyes won the trivia contest,
which included questions like, Whats the
international symbol of hospitality? (An-
swer: the pineapple) and What year was
the Navy Lodge system created? (An-
swer: 1969).
A co-worker teased Reyes about her
win.
Shes just a lucky guesser, she said,
laughing.
After the winners were announced, it
was pizza for all.
This is a time to have some fun and to
thank all of you for your hard work, Vi-
cens told the crew. I appreciate each and
every one of you.

Navy Lodge Associate Aimee Jose takes part in the relay race at the Hospitality Olympics, held
in front of the Navy Lodge Friday, Sept. 12, at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.
This leg involved running with a lime on a spoon; other parts included running through the parking
lot with a laundry cart and kicking a roll of toilet paper soccer-style.

fouled anchor onto each lapel. The chief
selects sponsor or mentor carefully placed
the hat. Each was then introduced to
the crowd with the rank of Chief.
The guest speaker, retired Command
Master Chief Ralph Rao, who once served
as director of the U.S. Navy Senior En-
listed Academy, captured the pride every-
one felt that day and the seriousness
of the moment.
This is a great time, he said, but to-
morrow morning is real.
He said he had clear memories of being
pinned a chief petty officer more than 30
years ago.
It was then and continues to be a pin-
nacle of my life, he said.
He urged the new chiefs to work hard
in their new leadership roles.
If you dont give your best now, when
will you? he said. Dont ever be satisfied
with good. Strive to be great.
The pinning ceremony was filled with
tears of pride and joy.
Carol Pritchett cried after pinning her
daughter, Chief Aviation Electronics Tech-
nician Stacy Meyer of the Tactical Un-
manned Aerial Vehicles (VTUAV) Main-
tenance Detachment. Pritchett had come
to Point Mugu even though fire was threat-
ening her home in Oakhurst, outside Yo-
semite National Park. The last shed heard,
flames were two miles away. But that didnt
stop her from sharing in her daughters
achievement.
Edward Collins flew in from Springfield,
Oregon, to pin Chief Aircrew Survival
Equipmentman James Collins of Carrier
Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW)
113.
This is my boy! he said afterward,
beaming.
Steve Haskins of Hesperia was grinning
after pinning his son, Chief Aviation Ord-
nanceman Kristopher Haskins of Fleet
Readiness Center Southwest, Detachment
Point Mugu.
It makes me very proud to have my son
do so well in the Navy, Haskins said. I
think hes done well the whole time hes
been in, and obviously the Navy thinks
so, too.
Brad and Barbara Reif came from Col-
orado Springs to share the moment with
son Chief Aviation Electronics Technician
Brian Eisenbraun of VAW-113.
Its kind of emotional to see your son
dedicate himself to this country each and
every day, Brad Reif said. Im not sure
the general public realizes the sacrifices
that must be made to get to this level. Its
quite an honor.
Senior Chief Equipment Operator Matt
Robison read the Chief Petty Officers
Creed at the end of the ceremony.
It is now required that you be the foun-
tain of wisdom, the ambassador of good
will, the authority in personal relations as
well as in technical applications, he read.
Ask the Chief is a household phrase in
and out of the Navy.
You are now the Chief.
Chiefs pinned at NBVC
There were more than 700 chairs set up in Hangar 553 for the chiefs pinning ceremony, and the crowd spilled over into the bleachers and standing areas. The final count
was estimated at 1,000.
SWC Kevin Johnson of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 5 poses for a shot with his 5-
year-old son, Ty, after the pinning ceremony.
ATC Corey Crow of Air Test and Evaluation
Squadron (VX) 30 is pinned with the fouled
anchor by his wife, Amber.
ITC Damien Gross of Naval Construction Group (NCG) 1 places the chiefs hat on ITC Anthony Scaffidi, also of NCG 1.

NCG 1 Public Affairs
Seabees from Naval Construc-
tion Group (NCG) 1 joined Ven-
tura County first responders and
fellow service members Thursday,
Sept. 11, to recognize Patriot Day
with students of the University
Preparation School in Camaril-
lo.
Patriot Day, also known as the
National Day of Service and Re-
membrance, is observed annu-
ally on Sept. 11 to remember
those lost in the terrorist attacks
of 2001.
Airmen from the Air National
Guard Band at Point Mugu per-
formed as students gathered
around the schools flagpole.
Charmon Evans, director at the
school, welcomed service mem-
bers and first responders, past
and present, to the front of the
audience, to the applause of stu-
dents, parents and faculty in at-
tendance.
The NCG 1 color guard
marched the colors to the flag-
pole. Steelworker 2nd Class Troy
Franklin ceremoniously unfurled
the national ensign as attendees
observed a moment of silence. As
the flag was raised, Builder 2nd
Class Marie Tauai sang a duet of
the national anthem with her
brother, Moses Failautusi. The
poem, My Name Is Old Glory,
was read as the flag was set at
half staff.
The events guest speaker, Lt.
Col. Constance Poulsen, assigned
to the Air National Guards 146th
Airlift Wing, took to the podium
to deliver her remarks.
The attacks of 9/11 showed
us the worst in people. But it was
also a time when many wonder-
ful, compassionate and heroic
deeds happened, she said. We
do not forget the innocent people
who lost their lives that day. Each
person was a friend, a family
member, a coworker. Every per-
son is missed.
Poulsen spoke about her expe-
riences working as a navigator on
C-130 aircraft supporting Opera-
tion Noble Eagle, the initial sup-
port response that began three
days after the 9/11 attacks.
In conclusion, she offered a
challenge to the students.
The American military, police
officers, firefighters, teachers and
parents have your back. Now its
your turn, Poulsen said. Stand
up when you see someone in
trouble, being bullied or being left
out. No one should be singled out
for unfair treatment or unkind
words. Make today the day you
become a hero in someones
life.
Roberta Bramson, a member
of the organizing committee,
spoke about the importance of
having the Seabees and other ser-
vice members in attendance.
I think its outstanding that
they would give their time for
this, she said. I hope that [ser-
vice members] will be able to ex-
plain to the children and give
them the vision of who they are
not just in war and times of need,
but in everyday life.

rial ceremony in front of Building 1. Motor-
cycles and three-wheelers are parked all along
the roads surrounding Building 1 while the
ceremony takes place. Then the riders leave
through the Las Posas Gate and follow the
back roads to the university.
This years event came in the middle of a
heat wave, and shade was at a premium. Rid-
ers wearing leather vests and bandanas clus-
tered under the trees waiting for the ceremo-
ny to start. Others visited the items on display,
including the 9/11 Angel Tribute Cars, em-
blazoned with the names of those who died
13 years ago.
This was the third year the Stromberg fam-
ily has attended.
We come every year, said Construction
Mechanic 1st Class James Stromberg of
Naval Construction Group 1.
But last year you were deployed so it was
just me and the kids, added his wife, Jen-
nifer.
Their children, ages 14, 12 and 7, came
with them.
Its nice to be here and watch the bikes
and see the cars that are a tribute to the
World Trade Center, said the 14-year-old,
Mason.
Pink drew a crowd as she made her way
to the stage at one end of the parking lot in
front of Building 1. As she signed autographs
and posed for photos, she was joined by Eric
Christian Olsen, who plays Marty Deeks in
NCIS: Los Angeles.
After posing for photos with several chiefs
select, Pink stepped onto the stage with her
husband, former freestyle motocross com-
petitor Carey Hart, and the two stayed in
the background throughout the 9/11 cere-
mony.
The event included a wreath-laying at the
9/11 Memorial across from Building 1, a 21-
gun salute, the playing of taps, a flyover and
three minutes of silence punctuated by the
ringing of a bell every 10 seconds, another
tribute to the Sept. 11 victims.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer
of NBVC, welcomed the crowd. In his
speech, he said that when he hears military
jets flying overhead, he thinks of it as the
sound of freedom. But today, he said, the
sound of freedom is the deafening roar of
more than 500 motorcycles ridden by patri-
ots.
Also speaking was Marine Cpl. Jed Mor-
gan, who lost both legs and the use of his
dominant arm when an IED exploded in
Afghanistan. As he made his way to the mi-
crophone with his service dog, someone in
the audience yelled out, Thank you for your
service and your sacrifice!
Morgan was followed by a performance
of the Lee Greenwood song God Bless the
U.S.A. Afterward, Vasquez returned to the
microphone for some final words.
When we stand united, he said, we will
never be defeated.
A few minutes later, the riders returned to
their motorcycles, and the deafening roar
began.

The emotional American tradition of
retiring a flag played out in front of Build-
ing 1 Thursday, Sept. 11, in a sunset cer-
emony that served to honor those who
died in the terrorist attacks 13 years ago.
On a warm night with a picture-perfect
sunset, the chief selectees of Naval Base
Ventura County retired the flag that flies
at nearby Chumash Trail.
The audience of about 50 many of
them children got a lesson in patriotism
and American history as Lt. Kevin Bemel,
chaplain of Commander Airborne Com-
mand Control and Logistics Wing, walked
through the steps of retiring the national
ensign.
First, the field of blue was separated; it
would be burned last, as it is the most
important symbol of the flag: 50 united
states.
The seven red stripes and six white
stripes representing the 13 original colo-
nies were then cut apart one by one and
burned individually.
The United States flag should be treat-
ed with respect when it is flying, Bemel
stated. And it should also be treated with
respect when it is being retired.
After the final remnant was placed into
the flames, taps was played.
Calling the United States proud and
resilient, the chaplain stated that Amer-
ica has never forgotten and shall never
forget what happened Sept. 11, 2001. He
cited Americas steadfast commitment to
the freedom and liberty on which this na-
tion was founded.
And then: rebirth.
A massive holiday flag was hoisted up
the mast, then lowered to half-mast. By
this point, the sky was dark, and spotlights
shone on the banner, making it appear
even larger than it was.
I love the bigger flag, said 7-year-old
Kaitlyn Hook, whose father, Chief (select)
Naval Aircrewman Mechanical Christo-
pher Hook, took part in the ceremony.
She thought the flag retirement was
cool.
My daddy got to put a white stripe in
the fire, she said.

Chiefs select at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) bow their heads during the invocation
at the flag retirement ceremony and Sept. 11 commemoration in front of Building 1 at
NBVC Point Mugu. They would be pinned as chiefs the following week.

(sel) Christopher Hook of Fleet Logistics
Squadron (VR) 55, watches her father
take part in the flag retirement ceremony
Sept. 11 outside Building 1 at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu. Kaitlyn
was one of several youngsters who watched
the ceremony, which served not only as a
poignant commemoration of the terrorist
attacks 13 years earlier, but also as an
important lesson in patriotism and American
history.

Words like selfless, you make a differ-
ence and phenomenal echoed through
the Bard Mansion Thursday, Sept. 18, dur-
ing the Ombudsman Luncheon put on by
the Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC)
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC).
The annual event is a time for command
leaders to thank the volunteers who serve
as liaisons between the world of military
work and the world of family.
About 70 people attended this years
event, during which 14 ombudsmen were
honored. Some command leaders attended
even though their ombudsmen couldnt or
their ombudsman position wasnt currently
filled; they wanted to honor the program
itself.
Capt. Scott Loeschke, chief staff officer
of NBVC, described the ombudsmen as
selfless volunteers.
We appreciate all the hard work and
dedication, he told the crowd. We wouldnt
be here without families, and the families
have much better support with ombuds-
men.
One by one, ombudsmen were thanked
by command representatives from Air Test
and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30, Carrier
Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW)
112, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 4, the Naval Construction Train-
ing Center (NCTC), Fleet Readiness Center
Southwest (FRCSW) Detachment Point
Mugu, Underwater Construction Team
(UCT) 2, Naval Facilities Engineering and
Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC
EXWC), VAW-113, VAW-116, VAW-117,
Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR) 55,
and Naval Operational Support Center
(NOSC) Ventura County.
Command leaders from the Air Force
344th Training Squadron, Detachment 1,
from NBVC Port Hueneme, also attended,
thanking whom the Air Force calls key
spouses.
Lt. Cmdr. Jason Fahy, commanding of-
ficer of UCT-2, had high praise for his com-
mand ombudsman, Elizabeth Tyler. Having
a good, strong ombudsman, he said, re-
ally makes a difference when youre going
through troubled waters.
The Navy Ombudsman Program was es-
tablished 44 years ago. Every ombudsman
is required to go through 16.5 hours of ba-
sic training that is renewed every three years.
In addition, they attend advance trainings
throughout the year.
As a former ombudsman, I know first-
hand that the job is not always an easy one,
but nonetheless it can be a rewarding one,
said Corey Kendrick, ombudsman coordi-
nator for FFSC. While we acknowledge
and appreciate the work that the ombuds-
men do year-round, this luncheon gives us
an opportunity as a community to publicly
say thank you.
A thank you to ombudsmen
Kristina Vargas, the ombudsman for Carrier Airborne Command and Control Squadron
(VAW) 113 listens as Cmdr. Jeremy Rifas describes her work for the command during the
annual Ombudsman Luncheon Thursday, Sept. 18.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
When is it OK to cross the line?
When is it OK to lay hands on the per-
son we choose to live with, marry and have
children with? What act of betrayal or
anger, or statement of truth or untruth,
is so over-the-top that we have the right
to push, hit, punch, kick, strangle or
knock out our spouse or intimate part-
ner?
The answer: Never.
It is never OK to lay hands on the per-
son we love or have loved. It is not OK to
use physical violence against anyone. Ag-
gressively lay hands on a stranger and the
chances are we go to jail. Lay hands on a
loved one and it becomes legally more
complicated. Why is that?
Is it anger that causes a person in a re-
lationship to aggress against the other?
Chances are there is more going on than
simply anger in these situations.
Typically, before someone crosses the
I dont care what I do line and physi-
cally assaults someone, they have already
crossed the I dont care what I say line
and communicated in ways that show a
lack of respect for the partner and an in-
ability to see or hear their part in a prob-
lem.
Domestic violence is a child of intimida-
tion and control. Anger is a by-product.
What does intimidation look like? It can
be threatening looks or gestures; commu-
nication by ordering, threatening, blam-
ing, ridiculing, name-calling or repeated
questioning. It can be behaving in ways
that show mistrust and suspiciousness to
keep the partner off balance. Controlling
behaviors seek to isolate partners de-
manding information on who the partner
sees, speaks to, what they read, where they
go. It may involve keeping the partner
from visiting or speaking with friends,
relatives or co-workers.
Lack of trust can motivate intimidation
and control, and so can fear of losing the
relationship.
How can a person shift the dynamics
and break the cycle of violence? It doesnt
involve becoming a new person; it involves
being willing to look at and change be-
haviors. People are capable of learning
new choices.
At the Fleet & Family Support Center,
we can help you to learn how to stop hurt-
ing the people who love you. We have a
program that can help you learn the skills
it takes to have a healthy relationship. We
can help you to recognize and change the
thoughts that trigger you and the respons-
es that escalate rather than decrease ag-
gressive behaviors.
The choice is yours.
Call us at 805-982-5037 and ask about
the Choices Program.

to chlorine. The flushing will be done via
the base fire hydrants. The water sys-
tems operators will make every effort to
minimize the impact of flushing to all
of the tenants and residents at NBVC.
It is unlikely that water users will no-
tice any change in the appearance or
smell of their tap water. However, if any
changes are noticed, base personnel
should do the following:
If a stronger than normal chlorine
odor exists after an extended absence,
allow the water to run for a few minutes
to reduce the odor. Given the current
drought conditions in California, you
might want to collect the water in a
bucket and use it to water plants.
Should you notice a discoloration at
a sink or water fountain, merely allow
the water to flow for a few minutes to
flush the line until clear water appears.
Again, collecting it and using it to water
plants would avoid waste. Base residents
should also check the water in their
washing machine before putting clothes
in for washing. If the water is discol-
ored, set the machine to the spin cycle
to drain the water. A second filling
should result in clear water. If not, re-
peat the draining and filling steps as
necessary.
The switchback to chloramines will be
announced when the temporary opera-
tion is completed. Should anyone have
questions regarding this notice or the
temporary change, please contact the
PWD water systems operation supervi-
sor, Steve Latting, at 805-207-4055.
It is important to note that your drink-
ing water will continue to be safe, of high
quality, and will meet all federal and
state water quality standards.

Water disinfectant changing at Mugu
arate presentation specifically for the
NCTC students. Im hoping that through
this, others will also feel free to share their
experiences and begin to heal.
Cmdr. Daniel Cook, commanding of-
ficer of the NCTC, echoed that.
Its very important that we continue to
talk about this, he said. Its OK to be
open and honest to feel that this is an
open environment, and I think this rein-
forced that.
It was a lack of openness and honesty
34 years ago that threw Barry-Olsen into
despair.
As she put it, Silence is a killer.
She began her presentation by asking
how many in the audience had been af-
fected by suicide. About half raised their
hands.
She urged the young Sailors to talk
about their emotions and not to believe
in the myth of a stigma surrounding
suicide.
Stigma, she spat, not even trying to
hide her hate of the word. I just want to
blow it up.
With photos of her father behind her,
she talked about her family, her childhood
and that day in 1980 when Don Red
Barry of the Red Ryder Western movies
shot himself in the head in his front yard,
in front of his family, his neighbors and
the police.
She talked about the aftermath: blame,
drug use, cutting, anger, hearing a thera-
pist say, You should be over this by now,
more blame and a brief marriage to an
alcoholic who pierced a cats ear.
Finally, she met Chris Olsen, and theyve
been married 27 years a statement that
drew spontaneous applause. Her husband
was in the audience, as was her mother
and her two sons, Matthew, 24, and Trev-
or, 21.
When he was 5, Matthew asked a ques-
tion.
Mom, he said, how did your dad
die?
Barry-Olsen told him that something
happened with a gun. She told him never
to play with guns and then I cried for
five hours.
After that, she joined a suicide survivors
support group and got to work healing.
Thirty-four years, and Im still in the
process of healing, she said. Im grateful
for the gifts that Ive learned by actively
participating in my healing.
Matthew and Trevor spoke briefly. Both
have lost friends to suicide, and both
agreed that talking about it and not believ-
ing in stigma helped them to carry on.
Silence kills, Barry-Olsen concluded.
Youve got to make the noise.
Suicide prevention gets personal
