Question: What am I supposed to do with medicine that has
expired? Ive been told not to put it in the garbage because animals
can get to it and not to ush it down the drain because it can imperil
the water system. Is there a place where I can turn it in?
Answer: Your timing is perfect. Soon, you will be seeing boxes
around Naval Base Ventura County where people can deposit their
expired or unused prescription medications. All you have to do is
drop in your expired medications and they will be destroyed in a
safe and secure manner. Their exact locations will be announced
soon.
The disposal of pharmaceuticals is rapidly turning into a serious
environmental problem for all the reasons you state. We need to keep
them out of landlls, out of our water supply and out of the hands of
people who might abuse them. I appreciate your concern, and Im
proud of the base for taking a proactive stance on this issue.
Boxes like the one shown here will soon
be installed at Naval Base Ventura County
to make it easier and safer to dispose of
old medications. w

gained worldwide recognition since it first
started in the 1990s in Cape Cod, Mass.,
will be held at Naval Base Ventura Coun-

remember victims of sexual assault.
It started as The Clothesline Project

response coordinator and the organizer
of the event. Sexual violence affects us
all, and this is a way to show support to
survivors.

Its a way for us to come together as a
community to express our determination
that sexual assault will not be tolerated
here, Whirlow said.

at the Fleet and Family Support Center,

On the evening of March 10, Seabees
celebrated their 70th birthday at a Seabee
Ball held in the Ronald Reagan Presiden-
tial Foundation and Library in Simi Val-
ley. Seabees, family and friends gathered
to represent pride, build camaraderie and
share their unique history.
I feel ecstatic and honored to be side
by side with my fellow Seabees on this
special occasion,said Chief Utilitiesman
Jean Espiritu, a Seabee assigned to Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion 5. It only
comes once a year, and 70 years has
passed. It feels good to know that the
tradition and legacy is still alive up to
now! Its a tradition and our birthday,
and I wouldnt dare to miss it. Im proud
to be a Seabee!
The event kicked off with a cocktail
hour followed by a catered meal. Follow-
ing dinner, the nights guest speaker took
the stage.
Right now we have more than 2,500
Bees deployed to 54 major detail sites.
In 2011 alone, Seabee battalions, regi-
ments and divisions cycled through
CENTCOM (Central Command), PA-
COM (Pacific Command), EUCOM
(European Command), AFRICOM (Af-
rica Command) and SOUTHCOM
(Southern Command) to provide U.S.
Fleet Forces with support across those
countries, said Master Chief Petty Of-
ficer of the Navy (MCPON) Rick West,
the honorary guest speaker of the
night.
As a tradition, a cake-cutting ceremo-
ny was held following the guest speakers
talk. This year, West and the youngest
and the oldest Seabees in attendance were
among those cutting the cake.
Bees truly are everywhere. Between
active and reserve units, there are more
than 16,000 Seabees in our Naval Con-
struction Force (NCF), West said.
As a token of appreciation, West was
presented with a paddle featuring coins
fromseveral commands and construction
battalions stationed at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme.
Every single Seabee needs to be ready
to do what is necessary, and from where
I stand, what I see in D.C. and as I trav-
el about, you are absolutely hitting the
mark, Bees.Thank you very much, said
West.
Seabees just dont build and fight; they
care, and make time when there isnt any.
You should know that Im proud to be
here tonight, Im proud to be a shipmate
of yours, but more importantly, Im
proud to be an honorary Seabee myself,
said West, who was made an honorary
Seabee in 2009.

Someone to talk to, someone who will
listen, someone who will pay attention
without the distractions of everyday lifes
stressors this is what a Big Brother or
Big Sister is.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura
County, Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) and E.O. Green Junior High
School in Oxnard have teamed up to pro-
vide this kind of support to military-con-
nected middle school students.
This one-on-one formof mentoring will
provide military-connected students and
the volunteers with an opportunity to con-
nect with someone of a different age group
while being supported and monitored by
a staff member from the Big Brother Big
Sister organization. The programwill take
place on school grounds during lunchtime
every other week.
This specific Big Brothers Big Sisters
program is called Operation Bigs.
Children with a parent in the military,
including a deployed parent, face unique
challenges that may include separation and
loss in addition to the stresses of military
life. To help provide the additional support
these childrenneed, Big Brothers Big Sisters
has established a program called the Mili-
tary Mentoring Program. It joins children
of parents in the military with Bigs who
are in the military, retired or civilian.
For more than 100 years, the Big Broth-
ers Big Sisters of America networkof agen-
cies has created and supported one-to-one
relationships between adult volunteers and
youth. In those 100 years, the programhas
evolved to include merging with Big Sisters
International in 1977 and recently the
Military Mentoring Program, which start-
ed in San Diego.
The impact this organization has had on
youth is remarkable. According to the
Making a Difference Impact Study
(2000), the following positive findings have
been seen:
Little Brothers and Little Sisters were
46 percent less likely than controls to initi-
ate drug use during the study period.
Results indicate that for every 100 youth
in this age group who start to use drugs,
only 54 similar youthwhohave a Big Broth-
er or Big Sister will start using drugs. An
even stronger effect was found for minor-
ity Little Brothers and Little Sisters, who
were 70 percent less likely to initiate drug
use than other similar minority youth.
Little Brothers and Little Sisters were
27 percent less likely than controls to initi-
ate alcohol use during the study period,
and minority Little Sisters were about one-
half as likely to initiate alcohol use.
Little Brothers and Little Sisters were
almost one-third less likely than controls
to hit someone.
Little Brothers andLittle Sisters skipped
half as many days of school as did control
youth, felt more competent about doing
schoolwork, skipped fewer classes and
showed modest gains in their grade point
averages. These gains were strongest among
Little Sisters, particularly minority Little
Sisters.
The quality of relationships with par-
ents was better for Little Brothers and
Little Sisters than for controls at the end
of the study period, due primarily to a
higher level of trust in the parent. This ef-
fect was strongest for white Little Broth-
ers.
Likewise, there were improvements in
Little Brothers and Little Sisters relation-
ships with their peers relative to their con-
trol counterparts, an effect most strongly
evidenced among minority Little Broth-
ers.
Trainings will be held for interested vol-
unteers on base on March 28 from 9 to 11
a.m. in the Fleet and Family Support Cen-
ter (FFSC) Bldg. 225 at NBVCPoint Mugu
and March 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. in FFSC
Bldg 1169 at NBVC Port Hueneme.

Look at the calendar: Easter is just
around the corner!
Will you accept a gentle nudge? Con-
sider the idea that Easter can also be a
verb, as in, Every day is a new day, and
every day God has permission to Easter,
make new, change your life situation, rise
again!
God is all about new beginnings and
surprises each and every day. He is an
Easter kind of God.
Recently I had the tremendous privilege
to offer the invocation at the Seabee Ball.
Happy 70th Birthday, Seabees! I have en-
closed it as basis for what I hope is some
Easter kind of encouragement.
FellowSeabees, your presence across the
globe has marked our world for good, and
nothing will ever be the same. Let us
pray.
Heavenly Father, thank you for inviting
us to eternal celebration. Just as our par-
ty tonight has begun, so too our eternal
party, our abundawonderful life has begun
in and through you, a party that we cel-
ebrate daily as we faith daily.
As we commemorate tonight the ac-
complishments of Seabees, as we laugh at
their humanity, as we celebrate their dig-
nity, ingenuity and their hard work, may
we see in the Seabee mirror the glory of
the image of you, our loving, kind, mag-
nificent and glorious God.
Lord, would it be as Bees that we could
live courageously the character of Christ
may we live and leave a legacy to those
who follow behind us, a life characterized
more and more by what we are for and
less and less by what we are against. I sub-
mit these words and thoughts to you, oh
Lord, our heavenly Father, thanking you
for your precious Son, Jesus the Christ,
and the mysterious life-giving presence of
the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Easter convictions revealed in the above
prayer:
God is kind. He Easters every day
through our Seabees. Being part of Amer-
icas defense as a Seabee is a huge, kind
gift to your family, friends and country.
Thank you!
The eternal party has begun as we cel-
ebrate daily and faith daily. We faith dai-
ly because death died when Christ arose.
He Eastered!
God has marked you for good; enjoy
living out that goodness. As we live out
that goodness we uniquely reflect Gods
image and reveal Easters Spring.
We daily Easter as we weave and leave
a legacy that is for others and noble causes,
as opposed to always being against. Every
day God has permission to Easter. What
was true yesterday may not be true today,
because God is an Easter kind of God!
Thanks, Seabees, for allowing me to be
part of your hive. May we Easter togeth-
er.

Twelve volunteers fromNaval Base Ven-
tura County recently helped serve lunch
to senior citizens at a Salvation Army din-
ing hall in Ventura, but food wasnt the
only thing on the menu.
Good conversation appeared to be the
favorite dish.
Several of the 30 seniors dining at the
Eastside Caf on Friday, March 2, were
retired military eager to swap stories about
life in the trenches.
Thank God for the young, said Har-
ry Dodge, a retired chief aviation electri-
cians mate who spent 47 years in govern-
ment service, having just retired in January
from Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, where he worked on the self-
defense test ship. Its great to see their
enthusiasm.
He chatted at length with Command
Senior Chief Karen Spence of Air Test
and Evaluation Squadron 30 (VX-30).
This puts your life in perspective,
Spence said as she headed over to the
kitchen to start serving. Theyve already
walked in my shoes.
Their presence sparked conversations at
other tables. Ernie Villalpando and Rick
Harwood discovered they were both Army
veterans. One served in the Korean War,
the other in Europe after the Berlin Wall
was built.
I behaved, one said.
Did we have a choice? asked the oth-
er.
The community relations event was or-
ganized by Religious Ministries.
People talk about us serving our coun-
try,said Religious Programming Special-
ist 2nd Class Walter Brobst. Its nice for
people to see this side of us, where were
also serving our community.
Workers in the city of Venturas Senior
Nutrition Program, which runs the East-
side Caf, were especially thankful.
This is a big help for us,said Ron Mil-
don, who was helping coordinate the days
meal service.

electronics mate assigned to F/18s at Point

of 12 volunteers from Naval Base Ventura
County helping serve lunch to the seniors.
This puts your life in
perspective. Theyve

NMCRS
Looking for a way to save money on
food, diapers and everyday items at the
commissary or grocery store? Hate to
clip coupons from the newspaper? Every
time you try to use a coupon, it is ex-
pired?
If any of these situations sound famil-
iar, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Soci-
ety (NMCRS) has a solution for you.
In an effort to help military families
stretch their budget, NMCRS volunteers
have been clipping, sorting and organiz-
ing coupons for personnel at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC). The range of
coupons is extensive and includes baby
care, baking supplies, vegetables, soups,
meat, vitamins, pet supplies and more.
There are even restaurant coupons avail-
able.
Volunteers regularly sort through the
file to eliminate expired coupons so youll
never get to the cashier again and be em-
barrassed to find that your coupons can
no longer be used.
How can you access the coupon file?
Just stop in at the NMCRS office in the
Welcome Center at NBVCPort Hueneme,
Bldg. 1169, and ask the volunteer at the
front desk! Its as easy as that! One recent
shopper saved more than $28 at the com-
missary just by picking out a fewcoupons
for toiletries and cleaning supplies.
NMCRS provides other valuable ser-
vices as well, including budget counseling
and interest-free loans for emergency
leave, rent, food, gas and other verified
needs. Interest-free loans up to $300 are
given through the Quick Assist Loan
program. Free baby items, valued at ap-
proximately $100, are distributed to ser-
vice members expecting babies through
the Budget for Baby workshop. A thrift
shop is operated on NBVCPort Hueneme
that helps service members and their
families buy low-cost clothing, uniforms
and household items.
In addition, volunteer opportunities
are available in the following areas: client
services assistant, instructor for Budget
for Baby and cashier at the thrift shop.
Reimbursement for mileage and child
care is available while you volunteer.

NMCRS programs, call 982-4409.

Theres nothing like some jumping jacks
and toe-touching exercises to wake up a
bunch of sleepy-headed pre-schoolers first
thing in the morning.
And nowcaregiving staff at Naval Base
Ventura Countys Child and Youth Pro-
gram (CYP) centers are getting in on the
action too, realizing that early-morning
and late-afternoon stretches are a good
way to stave off aching backs and creeping
pounds.
I like getting my stretches in this way,
Daniela Juarez, whos been on the caregiv-
ing staff for 4- and 5-year-olds at NBVC
Point Mugu for a little over a year, said as
she led about 15 youngsters in toe-touch-
es.
Bent in half, she called out, OK every-
one, can you feel that? Thats your muscles
stretching!
At 9 a.m. and again at 3:30 p.m. each
day, about a dozen caregiving staffers in
the CYPs three classrooms at Point Mugu
are now joining the youngsters in stretch-
ing and motion exercises.
In all, 42 toddlers, 75 preschoolers and
30 staff members at NBVCare participat-
ing, along with the 95 children who come
for after-school programs only.
The teachers need to take care of them-
selves, too, said Yerlie Sotomango, a
training specialist at the CYP. This job
can be stressful. Its challenging but re-
warding to be with children all day.
The exercise routine takes about 10
minutes.
I think its fantastic for kids to get a
healthy start at this age, said Yolanda
Stenholm, whos been at the CYP for
about a year. They learn they can
stretch at home, that it doesnt take very
long. They wont be saying, I dont have
time to exercise.
Stenholm admits to saying that to her-
self sometimes, but now she cant.
This way I get to stretch too, she
said.
Debbie Bergstrom, CYP manager at
the base, said the program is going
well.
We decided to start a stretch program
for staff because we noticed that staff
members were getting hurt while simply
bending over to tie a shoe or wash a
childs hand, she said. This supports
children, with the nations push to get
children moving to prevent childhood
obesity, and it helps our staff work on
their core muscles to help prevent mus-
cle strain while working.

SANTA BARBARA Retired Rear
Adm. Donald G. Iselin was laid to rest
Tuesday, March 13, following his funeral
and a graveside service with full military
honors.
Iselin served in the Navy for 35 years,
finishing his career as Commander, Naval
Facilities Engineering Command and
Chief of Civil Engineers in 1981.
Iselin graduated fromthe United States
Naval Academy at the top of his class in
1945. He was the recipient of the Gardner
L. Caskey Memorial prize, the Moreell
Medal of the Society of American Mili-
tary Engineers and the Stephen Decatur
Award of the Navy League. He also re-
ceived the 1980 Engineering Alumni Pro-
fessional Achievement Award from Mar-
quette University.
He held honorary membership in the
American Institute of Architects and
membership in the prestigious National
Academy of Engineering.
During his career, he was hand-picked
by Vice Adm. Hyman Rickover, the father
of the nuclear Navy, to serve as site proj-
ect officer for the design and construction
of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station
in Pittsburgh, the nations first large-scale
nuclear power plant for the production of
electricity. Later, he developed the highly
successful Level of Effort management
system for construction projects in Viet-
nam. He also commanded the Atlantic
Fleet Seabees in 1968 and 1969.
Iselin held both bachelors and masters
degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic In-
stitute, and he completed the Advanced
Management Program at Harvard. Fol-
lowing his retirement from the Navy, Is-
elin worked as group vice president of
Raymond Kaiser Engineering and held
other high-level engineering positions. In
2006, he was selected as the Distinguished
Service Award Recipient by the Seabee
Memorial Scholarship Association, in
which he was active for many years.
Following military honors at the grave
site rendered by the Naval Base Ventura
County Honor Guard, Captain Ralph
Ortolano, Jr., of the Los Angeles Naval
Operational Support Center presented
Iselins daughter, Donna Broom, with the
folded flag from the casket.
Also in attendance was Capt. John
Korka, commanding officer of the Naval

(NFELC). Several other Civil Engineer
Corps officers were also on hand to pay
their respects.

Cmdr. Kumar NAFTA Atarthi re-
lieved Cmdr. James JJ Elias as com-
manding officer of Carrier Airborne Com-
mand and Control Squadron 113
(VAW-113) in a ceremony held in the
squadrons hangar on Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Point Mugu, on Thursday,
March 15.
In attendance were Rear Adm. Herman
Shelanksi, commander, Carrier Strike
Group 10; Capt. John Eckstein, the first
commanding officer of VAW-113 in 1967;
and Capt. Todd Watkins, deputy commo-
dore of Airborne Command Control and
Logistics Wing.
During Elias tenure, the Black Eagles
completed a seven-month combat deploy-
ment while embarked on USS Ronald
Reagan (CVN-76). In March and April
2011, the squadron was essential to the
success of Operation Tomadachi, provid-
ing critical aid and relief to the people of
Japan following the devastating tsunami
and earthquake. The remainder of the
deployment was spent in support of Op-
eration New Dawn, Operation Enduring
Freedom and the Overseas Contingency
Operation.
Every moment, whether we are work-
ing up, deployed or reloading, we are in
this together. Were not just looking for
two thumbs up prior to cat shot, we need
160 to make this machine go, Elias told
the audience. Im so grateful I had the
opportunity and privilege to be part of
it.
Atarthi is the 38th commanding officer
of the Black Eagles. He hails from Wil-
liamsport, Pa., and enlisted in the Navy
as an aviation anti-submarine warfare
technician and served aboard USS Amer-
ica (CV-66). He attended the University
of Memphis and received his commission.
He subsequently was assigned to VAW-
123, VAW-120, CVW-1, and U.S. Southern
Command before reporting to VAW-113
as the executive officer in December
2010.

VAW-112
The war that defined a genera-
tion came to an end and a new
era of Iraqi independence began
when, on Dec. 18, 2011, an E-
2C Hawkeye from Carrier Air-
borne Command and Control
Squadron 112 (VAW-112) exited
Iraqi airspace.
The squadronreturnedtoNaval
Base Ventura County, Point
Mugu, Sunday, Feb. 26. Several
recalled the historic moment
shortly before they arrived
home.
At 7:32 a.m. Dec. 18, 2011, one
E-2C Hawkeye launched from
USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74).
Their mission to Iraq was meant
to be a standard command and
control mission. Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey
Reynolds, the pilot of the last
flight, described this particular
flight as routine.
There was no difference; we
flewthat mission the same way we
have flown every other mission,
said Reynolds. Shortly after we
entered Iraq and began our mis-
sion, we received word over the
radio calling all coalition forces
back to base.
It wasnt until Reynolds re-
turned to the Stennis that he and
his crewwere informed they were
the last U.S. Navy aircraft to leave
Iraq, effectively ending the pres-
ence of coalition forces there.
Reynolds went on to note that
he was surprised because Hawk-
eyes arent usually the aircraft in
the limelight. Once the signifi-
cance of the event was under-
stood, there was a flood of atten-
tion.
Its funny that I was the pilot
of this flight, said Reynolds. I
was in the Arabian Gulf attached
to USS Harry Truman (CVN75)
in 2002 and 2003 when Operation
Iraqi Freedom began, and here I
am on the Stennis in 2011 finish-
ing the fight.
Leadingthe GoldenHawks dur-
ing this historic time was Cmdr.
Paul Crump, squadroncommand-
ing officer.
Improud of the squadron for
beingpart of history,saidCrump.
The Golden Hawks were the fo-
cal point for the Stennis and for
the theater commander in Opera-
tion New Dawn.
Countless man hours go into
keeping a squadrons aircraft fly-
ing, and the person overseeing
these efforts at VAW-112 is Master
Chief Aircraft Maintenanceman
Dave Nortega, the squadrons
maintenance master chief petty
officer. He conducts the orchestra
of maintenance actions and over-
sees all maintenance performedon
squadron aircraft. Nortega has
repeatedly deployed to the Fifth
Fleet area of responsibility.
To me, the final flight repre-
sents the culmination of all the
effort and sacrifices that all of our
brothers and sisters in arms have
made from the beginning of Op-
eration Iraqi Freedom until now
at the end of Operation New
Dawn, said Nortega. Without
them, this moment would have
never happened. This historic
flight marks the long-awaited
homecoming of those far from
home but never far fromthe hearts
of their loved ones.
The Golden Hawks have served
in multiple deployments in this
theater of operations. They have
supported Operations Desert
Storm, Southern Watch, Iraqi
Freedom, NewDawn and Endur-
ing Freedom.
VAW-112 celebrates its 45th
year of service in the Navy since
its initial establishment on April
20, 1967. The squadron has been
awarded 15 unit commendation
medals and shows no signs of
slowing down any time soon.

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 is beginning several projects
this month now that the Seabees have re-
turned from a six-month deployment to
European and African Command areas
of responsibility.
Assignments include a project in China
Lake, water-well drilling, renovation of a
small arms range and construction of a
head facility, concrete pads and parking
lots.
The Seabees will also take classes de-
signed to improve their rating knowledge
and critical skills needed to complete mis-
sions during their deployment early next
year. These classes range from construc-
tion and basic combat skills to C
schools.
I think its important that we are put
into classes, said Engineering Aide Con-
structionman Bill Almero. I am looking
forward to learning more in-depth Seabee
skills that I can put to use in the fu-
ture.
Almero is scheduled to attend Basic
Combat Skills (BCS) II, Embark and
communications classes during home-
port.
A battalion field training exercise is
scheduled for August.

CHINHAE, South Korea Members of Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion 40s Detail Chinhae took a
trip last month to the Busan Aquarium in South Korea,
where several of the Seabees had the opportunity to dive
with sharks and encounter a variety of marine life, in-
cluding sand tiger sharks, black-tip reef sharks,
Queensland giant groupers, short-tail stingrays and spot-
ted eagle rays.
The divers completed training with a PADI (Profes-
sional Association of Diving Instructors) Master Scuba
Diver Trainer on the morning of Sunday, Feb. 19, when
they arrived at the aquarium. They learned how to use
their dive gear, breathe underwater and how to monitor
their remaining amount of air.
The dive took place in the main aquatic exhibit tank,
which is 5 meters deep and holds 3 million liters of wa-
ter.
Being able to get so close to so many different animals
like shark, grouper, stingray and turtles all at the same
time, while using scuba gear, was a great experience,
said Engineering Aide Constructionman Jose Jimenez.
Ive been to the Bahamas and many other places look-
ing for activities like this but, but only here in Korea
have I seen this at such a great price.
One of the unique things the divers were able to do
is keep the shark teeth they found on the bottom of the
tank as souvenirs. Jimenez and Steelworker 2nd Class
Clarence Lewis rented underwater cameras to capture
the experience to help better remember the dive.
It was a great experience. It truly was a once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity and I am glad I took advantage of
it! said Builder 3rd Class Michael Alexander.
Seabees who chose not to dive were able to see other
animals and exhibits.
One of the other main attractions was a glass bottom
boat ride over the main aquatic exhibit tank. It was
awesome getting to see the different sharks and animals
while on top of the water because it shows a different
perspective compared to most aquariums where you
normally just see the animals fromthe front of the glass,
said Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Mark Turner.
All in all it was a great break from the project at De-
tail Chinhae and everyone enjoyed what Busan Aquar-
ium had to offer.

KAMPONGTHOM, Cambodia Seabees fromU.S.
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 40
recently volunteered to teach children the basics of
baseball to a local village in Cambodia.
Seabees from the battalion, known as the Fighting
40, traveled to Kampong Thom, Cambodia, for a com-
munity relations opportunity to teach the fundamen-
tals of baseball and to spend time with local residents.
The day concluded with a friendly pickup game with
the children and members of the U.S. military.
Any and all interaction between the U.S. Navy Sea-
bees and the people and children of Cambodia is a
wonderful thing, said NMCB 40 Detail Cambodia
Officer In Charge, Lt. (j.g.) Grant Glover. We came
here to teach these young boys the fundamentals of
American baseball, but I believe that we learned more
about the spirit and resolve of these young men.
Construction Mechanic 1st Class AndrewDuchscher,
leading petty officer of Detail Cambodia, said both
the kids and the Seabees seemed to have a good
time.
Im happy we could come out and teach them the
basics of a new sport, he said of the youngsters.
Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Aaron Dalbey
said, It was nice to go out and help out with a sport
thats just starting to introduce itself to the country.
In addition to the Seabees, there were several other
U.S. military members from the U.S. Embassy Cam-
bodia who volunteered to assist in teaching the children
the sport. U.S. personnel taught the children the basics
on swinging the bat as well as the rules of play.
At the end of the event, the children waved goodbye,
saying, Akun Jann, meaning thank you very much
in Khmer, the local language of Cambodia.

As thousands of Sailors and Seabees
face being forced out of the Navy due to
force reductions, a recent university study
may become more relevant: The study
shows that workers with associates de-
grees and bachelors degrees earn about
25 and 60 percent more income, respec-
tively, than workers with only high school
diplomas.
Competition to stay in the Navy is in-
tensifying, and Navy College offerings like
the Navy College Programfor Afloat Col-
lege Education (NCPACE) and Tuition
Assistance (TA) are offering possible in-
come safeguards for Sailors.
Many Sailors assigned to Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5 took
advantage of these programs and worked
toward college degrees while deployed to
Europe and Africa.
NCPACE gives Sailors the opportunity
to continue personal and professional
growth while on sea-duty assignments,
while TA is the Navys educational finan-
Sailors, looking to future, work on college degrees while deployed

cial assistance program.
While here in Rota, [our Sailors] can take classes here
on base or through online courses. They have all of the
same educational opportunities that they would have in
homeport, said Lt. (j.g.) Damaris Havens, NMCB 5s
administration officer and educational services officer.
Havens says NCPACE are self-paced classes taken over
a 12-week period. The biggest difference between NCPACE
and TA is that if service members receive a failing grade
with NCPACE, they dont have to reimburse the govern-
ment.
I find time after work usually. Its a good opportunity
because its pretty much free besides the books,said Util-
itiesman Constructionman Timothy McDaniel, a Seabee
assigned to NMCB 5.
The resources and information are out there, Havens
said. The Navy asks a lot of you, to go on deployment
and be away from your family, so take advantage of ev-
erything that you can now.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unem-
ployment rate for post 9/11-era veterans has increased from
10.6 percent in September 2009 to 11.7 percent in Septem-
ber 2011. Taking advantage of college benefits while in
the Navy could give Sailors a leg up when they leave the
service.

Deadline March 30 to take part in hiring fair for people with disabilities

Lighthouse editor
Team Navy/Coast Guard 2012
finished up its third training camp
at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC), Port Hueneme, on
Monday, March 19, the last one
before the Warrior Games begin
April 30 in Colorado Springs,
Colo.
Up to 35 Sailors and Coast
Guardsmen can compete in the
Warrior Games, which pits 200
seriously wounded, ill and injured
members of the Armed Forces
against one another in track and
field, hand cycling, wheelchair
basketball, archery, shooting,
swimming and sitting volley-
ball.
One spot on the roster is still
open; the names of 34 of the ath-
letes chosen for the camp were
read in a ceremony Saturday
night, March 17, at the Beehive
Gym on base.
NBVCbegan hosting the train-
ing camps in 2010, and the first
teamthat trained on base brought
home 37 medals in the 2011 War-
rior Games, the second highest
among the five teams compet-
ing.
Organizers are hoping for an
even better showing in the 2012
games, which run through May
3.
You guys are champions, you
really are, Capt. David Sasek,
chief staff officer at the base, told
the team during the Saturday
night ceremony. You continue to
bring home some great achieve-
ments.
Sasek called it an honor for the
base to host the training camps,
pointing out that each one has
run a bit more smoothly than the
previous one.
This was the first training camp
for the new base commanding
officer, Capt. Larry Vasquez, who
greeted the athletes on Friday
morning.
Welcome!he told them. We
support you, and were honored
to have you here.
The camp began the same way
as the others: The athletes told
how they came to be eligible for
the Warrior Games, through im-
provised explosive devices in Af-
ghanistan, motorcycle accidents,
even cancer.
We not only break the ice, we
open each others hearts, ex-
plained Will Wilson, the retired
master chief who wears a pros-
thetic leg and serves as adaptive
sports coordinator for Navy Safe
Harbor, which runs the Navys
wounded warrior program. If
you think youve got it bad, look
to your left, then look to your
right. Think about what youve
overcome to get to this room.
One by one, the athletes told
their stories, phrases like limb
salvage being part of their ev-
eryday language.
Parts is parts,one comment-
ed. Weve got closets full of
legs.
Humor played a big role that
morning.
I wasnt very coordinated be-
fore, one athlete said, so I like
to blame it on the bullet.
Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class
Jake Emmott called the opportu-
nity to compete in the Warrior
Games one of the greatest things
the Navy has given me.
Here is the 2012 roster and the
events in which they are sched-
uled to compete. Two are compet-
ing for Ultimate Champion, a
pentathlon-style event that in-
cludes air rifle, 50-meter freestyle
swim, 100-meter sprint, 1,500-
meter run and shot put.

NSWC PHD Command
Communications
Several speakers from Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC)
addressed a Federally Employed
Womens (FEW) Western Region
Training Program earlier this
month in Ventura.
The two-day event at the
Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ventura
focused on the theme, Curiosity:
The Key to Success, which re-
flects the organizations goal to
provide professional training as
a means to achieve success.
The commanding officer of the
Naval Surface Warfare Center
Port Hueneme Division (NSWC
PHD), Capt. William DeBow,
provided opening remarks Mon-
day, March 12.
Speaking Tuesday were Capt.
David Sasek, chief staff officer
of NBVC; Operations Specialist
1st Class Aisha Jenkins, recently
named Sailor of the Year for the
Naval Air Warfare Center Weap-
ons Division (NAWCWD); and
Dr. Ron Smiley, director of elec-
tronic warfare and combat sys-
tems for NAWCWD.
KimFoster, FEWWestern Re-
gion manager and an employee
of NSWCPHD, opened the event
and introduced the first speak-
er.
DeBow blended the concepts
of curiosity of thought and lever-
aged diversity as key contributors
to yielding success in ones per-
sonal and professional life, as well
as within an organization.
Leveraging diversity for mis-
sion success and applying curios-
ity of thought are keys to unlock-
ing success, stated DeBow.
Acknowledging that March is
Womens History Month, he
talked about the importance of
women throughout history and
howtheir curiosity and thirst for
knowledge have paved the way for
the freedom and success women
and other minorities experience
in todays American culture. They
have shown that with diversity,
greater successes can be
achieved.
This is why, DeBow stated,
as the commander of Naval Sur-
face Warfare Center, Port Huen-
eme Division, I personally feel it
is important to promote equality
and diversity throughout the
workforce.
He stated that NSWC Port
Hueneme is the most diverse or-
ganization he has served in since
he has been in the Navy. He also
said that he is particularly proud
that NSWCPort Hueneme is an
organization that welcomes all
individuals, each with their own
background, culture thoughts
and ideas.
On Tuesday, Sasek took those
same ideas and applied them to
the future.
He challenged the group to
help the federal government keep
that diversity over the next sev-
eral years as more and more of
todays diverse workforce retires.
He stressed the need for intern-
ships and support of school-to-
career programs that help spark
curiosity in todays young people
tomorrows government work-
ers.

CECOS
Basic Class 252 of the Civil Engineering
Corps Officer School (CECOS) recently
strapped on their boots and sniffle gear
for a specially tailored Field Training Ex-
ercise (FTX) at Fort Hunter Ligget.
Forty-two newly commissioned officers
and 24 drilling reservists braved almost
freezing nights and long hours for an in-
troduction to the Navys expeditionary
warfare.
For five days ending Feb. 2, these Naval
officers worked at camp setup, life saving
basics, weapons safety, patrol basics and
finally camp tear down.
During the initial portion of FTX, each
of the four squads within the class was
issued a fragmentary order to conduct
reconnaissance missions of a bridge, an
expeditionary airfield or a 750-man
camp.
Implicit within this order was the neces-
sity to put together a detailed plan for a
vehicle convoy.
At the end of the exercise, each recon-
naissance mission was debriefed to Lt.
Col. Gary Bilyeu, officer in charge of the
Individual Mobile Augmentee Detach-
ment, and Capt. Richard Cook, com-
manding officer of CECOS.
Ensign Elizabeth Quagliano said she
learned several lessons during the FTX,
which took place Jan. 29 to Feb. 2.
Eating MREs (meals ready to eat) is
an art form, perfected with experience,
she said.
And secondly, Dont pack a water bed
when camping.

Naval Education and Training Command
The Naval Construction Training Center
(NCTC) at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, was among the winners of
the Naval Education and Training Com-
mand (NETC) Fiscal Year 2011 Excellence
in Safety Awards, presented March 12 at
the Naval Safety Centers 20th annual
Safety Professional Development Confer-
ence in Norfolk, Va.
The awards recognize outstanding per-
formance in the areas of safety and risk
management in a training and education
environment. The individual excellence in
safety award winner is Steven George, oc-
cupational safety and health manager for
NCTC.
Presenting the awards at the NETC
breakout session was Rear Adm. Clifford
Sharpe, NETC chief operating officer.
The key to the success of any military
safety programare the people who execute
it,said Sharpe. These safety profession-
als ensure that good safety habits are in-
stilled in our Sailors as they prepare to join
the fleet. Steven George and the other win-
ners have set the standard for the NETC
domain and have made a direct, tangible
contribution to combat readiness.
Georges efforts were directly responsible
for forming an internal safety organization
that promotes open communication
throughsharing of ideas andrecommenda-
tions for improved workplace safety and
created personal buy-in at NCTC.
I am fortunate to have support from
some of the finest safety professionals
within the Center for Seabees and Facilities
Engineering (CSFE) domain, who have all
provided unparalleled assistance, guidance
andmanagement inestablishing andfoster-
ing a sound safety culture, said George.
The award reflects and should be consid-
ered recognition of the efforts made by
every member of the CSFEcommunity. It
is their individual leadership and unwaver-
ing commitment that ensures students are
being provided the safest yet most realistic
training available and that all CSFE em-
ployees are afforded the opportunity to
work and train in a safe and healthful work
environment.
Capt. Richard Cook, CSFEcommand-
ing officer, noted that safely executing the
mission is an integral part of his philoso-
phy.
It is very gratifying that our parent
command has recognized CSFEs superla-
tive safety program for the second con-
secutive year,said Cook. Seabee training
is inherently dangerous, and most of our
courses have been designated as high risk,
therefore we consider safety para-
mount.

NSWC PHD Command Communications
Students from 14 schools in Ventura
County recently gathered in the Audio
Visual Center of Naval Surface Warfare
Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC
PHD) where they awaited classified in-
structions from Command Communica-
tions Director Michelle Heaton.
Your mission here today is to design
the Navys greatest and most cost-effective
missile launcher for use aboard Aegis
ships,she informed them. You must use
the provided supplies or purchase new
ones within your $1 million budget. You
have approximately two hours total for
completion. Timebeginsnow.
With those words, NSWC PHDs 12th
annual Engineering Challenge event kick-
started as teams of five students fromeach
school joined their assigned Port Hueneme
engineer to design the Navys newest
launcher.
Armed with rulers, rubber bands, bal-
loons, popsicle sticks and a dozen other
miscellaneous supplies, the challenge
would prove difficult and with water
bottles costing a mere $250,000 each, their
budgets would not go far without a little
creativity.
Today, your team will be making a
fully functional launcher within the given
design requirements, Cmdr. Scott Davis,
chief engineer at NSWC Port Hueneme,
said at the start of the Feb. 23 event. You
will build it by using your creative skills
and by putting your brain to work. I want
to encourage each of you to open your
minds and discover new ways of think-
ing.
To help with this task, students were
given tours of the commands Underway
Replenishment Test Site where they
learned howships and Sailors receive sup-
plies while at sea. Additionally, the tour
offered another opportunity to see how
math and science can be used to create
real-life engineering solutions.
Upon returning from the tours, each
team of students had one minute to test
their prototypes by way of launching a
ping-pong ball at a model test ship. This
allowed for any needed adjustments prior
to final judging, which involved presenting
to a panel of seven senior command lead-
ers, including NSWCPort Hueneme com-
mander Capt. William DeBow, Division
Technical Director Timothy Troske, Office
of Engineering and Technology Director
Karen Brower, Senior Leaders and Man-
agers Association (SLMA) representative
Kristine Klimek, and Society of Hispan-
ic Professional Engineers (SHPE) repre-
sentative Lorena Silva.
SLMA and SHPE also provided gener-
ous financial contributions that were used
to purchase supplies and prizes for the
event.
Projects were judged based on accuracy,
presentation, creativity and ability to stay
within budget.
Mesa Union School ended up in first
place, earning $30 gift cards to Barnes and
Nobles along with a grand tour of a Navy
ship. Las Colinas Middle School in Ca-
marillo took second place, and Anacapa
Middle School in Ventura took third.
This years event was a huge success,
said Troske. We enjoy working with the
students, because it provides us a chance
to show them what we do here at Port
Hueneme, teach basic engineering con-
cepts, and hopefully inspire them to pur-
sue a career within the fields of science,
technology, engineering and math.
The event also gives NSWC Port Hue-
neme engineers a chance to give back to
the community by utilizing their field of
expertise as a learning platform.
Fourteen engineers from NSWC Port
Hueneme volunteered for this years event:
Ed Cervantes, Anne Kearns, Andres Lo-
zano, Andrew Malec, Maral OGrady,
Regina Powell, Lillian Rodriguez, Ron
Severson, Tong Thao, Erika Urena, Albert
Wolfkiel, Virginia Shields, Ming Kwong
and Michael Smith.
The command is an avid supporter of
many community-related science and tech-
nology events, and it champions a variety
of programs involving local schools, such
as the Pre-engineering Program for high
school students and the Financial Liter-
acy Advocates in Government (FLAG)
program, which teaches high school stu-
dents financial responsibility.
Its not rocket science! Well, yes, it is

economics come together

local students

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Whether this is your first move as a
single Sailor or a new military family, or
your 10th move as a seasoned veteran,
there is always updated information and
resources available that you may not be
aware of.
The Fleet and Family Support Center
(FFSC) at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) has a wealth of resources at your
fingertips. Moving can be such a tedious
task and bring a load of stress, but with
the right tools and planning, you can be
on your way to a productive and positive
moving experience.
Whether youre moving in state, out of
state or overseas, FFSC offers classes and
assistance to make your transition a little
easier.
Upon receiving orders that you will be
relocating, you may ask yourself:
In what ways will this move affect my
current situation?
Is military housing going to be avail-
able or will I live in the community?
What day care or schools will be avail-
able and how do they rate?
Ima single Sailor, so what opportuni-
ties will there be for me at my next loca-
tion?
What veterinarian services will be
available for my furry friend?
How is the move going to affect my
current financial position?
What entitlements will I have access
to?
Now that your mind is swirling with so
many questions, youre asking yourself:
Where do I begin?
Start by signing up for FFSCs Smooth
Move class. Smooth Move is a one-stop
shop that brings together presenters from
Personnel Support Activity Detachment
(PSD), Personal Property, TRICARE,
Housing and an FFSC financial adviser
to answer all your moving questions and
concerns.
Next, utilize the militarys great websites
to assist you in getting acquainted with
your new destination. Go to www.mili-
taryinstallations.dod.mil or www.military-
homefront.dod.mil. Both of these websites
will provide you with contacts and infor-
mation about your new duty station, as
well as links to other valuable websites
and resources. The Military Installations
webpage also provides a link to Plan My
Move. From this link you will be able to
utilize a calendar with a detailed checklist
that will help you in accomplishing and
completing all the things you must do be-
fore you move.
After you receive your new orders, visit
www.smartwebmove.navsup.navy.mil to
set up your move.
Aside from these few steps, there are
several other things you can do to make
your Permanent Change of duty Station
(PCS) move easier and less stressful:
Get rid of your old junk.If you have
old clothes, household items, furniture or
other things you dont need or want but
someone else might, nows the perfect time
to get rid of it. Put it on Craigslist or have
a garage sale and get some extra money.
Or donate it to the Thrift Store run by the
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society at
NBVC Port Hueneme, or the one run by
the Chief Petty Officers Association at
NBVC Point Mugu.
Spouses: Update your resume. Your
new location could lead to a new job op-
portunity so you can be prepared by hav-
ing your resume ready. Your local FFSC

shutdown of all non-essential operations
on Friday, March 23.
The commissary, Navy Exchange, golf
course, gyms and all eating establishments
except the galleys will be closed all day
Friday and the morning of Saturday,
March 24.
Beginning in the late morning of Thurs-
day, March 22, and continuing through
early afternoon Saturday, March 24, only
the Victoria Avenue Gate at NBVC Port
Hueneme and the Las Posas Gate at
NBVC Point Mugu will be open due to
heightened security.
All retirees and non-essential personnel
are urged to stay away from the base to
prevent the backups at the gates and sub-
sequent traffic congestion that has plagued
the surrounding neighborhoods in previ-
ous years when the exercise has been
held.
Called Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield, the
annual drill tests the readiness of Navy
installations for a terrorist attack. Citadel
Shield, held the first part of the week, in-
volves all Navy installations in Southern
California. Solid Curtain, held the second
half of the week, involves all U.S. instal-
lations and requires heightened security.
That means gate closures, 100 percent
identification checks meaning everyone
in a vehicle trying to get on base must have
a photo IDand randomvehicle inspec-
tions.
At NBVC, the child development cen-
ters will be minimally staffed Friday.
School bus routes onto the base that day
will not be affected unless traffic forces
delays. However, Thursday afternoon and
all day Friday, children who walk through
the Bard Gate or the Sunkist Gate at
NBVC Port Hueneme will need to use the
pedestrian gate at Goodspeed Road off
Pleasant Valley Road.
The exercise kicked off Monday with a
simulated bomb threat and subsequent
explosionat Bldg. 1425, the CM3 Mar-
vin G. Shields Advance Construction Me-
chanic Building at the Naval Construction
Training Center (NCTC), located near the
Needham Theater at NBVC Port Huen-
eme.
Six NCTC students volunteered to be
victims, each one sporting a fake injury
ranging from severe burns on the arms
and chest to gruesome head and abdom-
inal wounds. The first firefighters on the
scene triaged the victims, assessing the
injuries to determine who needed immedi-
ate assistance.
This guys got an abdominal! one
shouted out as another firefighter came
running.
Nearly 200 people took part in the ex-
ercise, which began at 1 p.m. when the
radios squawked, This is a drill, this is a
drill.
A bomb threat was reported, an evacu-
ation began, then an explosion oc-
curred a few minutes later. Artificial
smoke soon filled the building.
Once officers from Force Protection,
including three bomb-sniffing dogs, de-
termined it was safe, firefighters went
in and began pulling out the victims,
including two mannequins, both of
which were determined to be fatali-
ties.
As firefighters rendered first aid, of-
ficers began quizzing the victims.
What classroom were you in? Of-
ficer Carlos Garcia asked the students.
Did you see anything maybe a back-
pack left unattended, or a briefcase?
Yeah, there was a backpack on the
floor, one student muttered.
What color was it?
It was a black backpack, in Class-
room 3.
Afterwards, Garcia said exercises like
this play an important role on military
installations.
Its great to be able to test out all our
training and experience, he said. This
shows the community were ready for
anything that gets handed our way.

Health takes center stage
during 5K run, fitness fair
in 18 minutes, 35 seconds faster than the winning times of most
MWR lunchtime 5Ks.
Im trying to get back into it, said Lopez, adding that he hasnt
run in awhile. Im trying to get the cobwebs off.
Michelle Herr, whose green hairband matched that of her 8-month-
old daughter, Amelia, said she, too, was taking advantage of the cool
weather.
We decided to come out and do a little run while the weathers
not too hot, said Herr, whose husband, Steelworker 1st Class Shawn
Herr was out of town training with Mobile Utilities Support Equip-
ment.
Several runners took the opportunity to stop by some of the 12
stations set up for the health fair and listen to speakers discuss the
right fit for a running shoe and managing back pain.
Suzanne Oglesby, a clinical counselor at the Fleet and Family Sup-
port Center, gave a presentation on dealing with stress. Among her
tips: Get plenty of sleep, stretch, get some exercise, keep a positive
attitude and stay intellectually stimulated.
Health fair organizer Ramona Pagel, director of the Bee-Fit, said
she was pleased with the turnout.
Our job is to keep everyone active and healthy, she said.
Next on the list: an Earth Day 5K on April 19 at NBVC Point
Mugu. That one, too, will feature green just a different kind.

ment and health-care benefits.
But first, he reassured the packed crowd
at Needham Theater at Port Hueneme
and that afternoon the four E-2 squadrons
at Point Mugu that theyre doing an
excellent job.
Our Navy is doing extremely well, he
told them. Our Navys on the move.
West told the Sailors and Seabees that
the Navys changing priorities would create
more deployments in the Western Pacific,
specifically Singapore, Australia and Oki-
nawa, and in Africa and the Middle East,
including Djibouti and Bahrain.
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the Pana-
ma Canal may also require a greater Navy
presence in the near future, he said.
But while the Navy still holds many op-
portunities, the federal budget has made
downsizing a reality that wont be going
away soon, he said. And with a retention
rate of more than 70 percent as opposed
to the 40 percent of years past, the Navy
is putting more emphasis on performance
tests and early retirements than ever be-
fore.
We cant have zero opportunities for
advancement,West explained. You have
to strike a healthy, productive balance. If
I told you youd be stuck at the same rank
for 10 or 15 years, youd move on.
He urged each Sailor to trust and ver-
ify every evaluation that goes into the
service record. Now more than ever, he
advised, Stay out of trouble.
MCPONs visit came just a few days af-
ter Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus un-
veiled the 21st Century Sailor and Marine
initiative, which mandates breathalyzer
tests whenSailors stationedonboardships,
submarines and at squadrons report for
duty and allows for random tests else-
where.
Its not like were telling you not to
drink, West said. But maybe there are
some bigger issues out there that we can
help you with.
The initiative also includes randomtest-
ing for synthetic chemical compounds like
Spice, and it eliminates discounts for ciga-
rettes in Navy Exchanges.
These changes are designed to help the
state of the force, West said.
West was askedabout the future of retire-
ment and health-care benefits, two large
andgrowing segments of the Navys budget
that have fallen under heavy scrutiny.
I think we have to do something with
retirements in the future, he responded.
It has got to change to some degree.
He foresees a 401(k) type of plan, but
stressed that any change is at least a year
away.
Health-care benefits may also change,
he said. Co-payments might go up, mail-
order prescription refills may become stan-
dard. But overall, he added, If youre in
uniform, youre OK.
At both Port Hueneme and Point Mugu,
he closed his question-and-answer session
by re-emphasizing his pride in todays Sail-
ors, Seabees and airmen.
Enjoy the Navy while you can,he told
them. Take every experience anddosome-
thing with it. Take your enthusiasm and
your can-do attitude to your worksite,
whether its here or the mountains of Af-
ghanistan or Africa.
I am so proud of all of you.
