The 19th Hole, the restaurant at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Huenemes Seabee Golf
Course, will close Tuesday, Feb. 18, for a two-month
renovation that will open up the eating area and add
a faux fireplace with a large flat-screen TVabove the
mantel.
The golf course and pro shop will maintain regu-
lar operating hours during the renovation.
Because the kitchen at the 19th Hole will remain
open on a limited basis during construction, break-
fast burritos and boxed lunches will still be prepared,
then sold through an open doorway from 6 to 11

Q: I noticed newsigns at the gates
that say 100%IDCheck, and I
amconfused. Is this a newprocess? I
thought you always had to showyour
military IDto come on base.
A: Thank you for allowing me
to clarify the policy. You are correct
that military identifcation has always
been required to enter the installation,
particularly after 9-11. It is a way to
positively identify that an individual
has business aboard the installation
and the privilege or clearance to do
so.
Some installations, however, only
check the drivers identifcation if
the vehicle is registered and displays
a Department of Defense decal. At
Naval Base Ventura County, weve
always checked the identifcation of
each adult occupant of the vehicle due
to the classifed nature of the various
missions conducted on the installation
and Sea Test Range.
Nowthat decals are no longer
being issued, it is even more important
to conduct 100 percent IDchecks, but
it still catches some people off guard.
The posted signs make the policy clear
and remind people to be prepared
and have their IDs readily available.
Permanent signs are on order and will
be placed at each gate once they are
available.
Do you have questions or sug-
gestions? You can submit themvia
this forumat lighthouse@navy.mil,

Why are there 100% ID Check signs at all the base gates?

Ventura County (NBVC) joined the Navy
Criminal Investigative Service in a daylong
search Wednesday, Feb. 5, for one of three
suspects believedtohave abandoneda mar-
ijuana-laden panga boat near Mugu Rock,
about 100 yards from NBVCs fenceline.
Coast Guard patrols spotted the boat
about 7 a.m. Wednesday. An hour later, a
possible suspect was seeninthe wetlands on
base, and officers launched a search that
wasnt called off until late afternoon. Two
suspects were takenintoCaliforniaHighway
Patrol custody near Deer Creek Road and
the Pacific Coast Highway Authorities de-
terminedafter questioning that the twohad
worked alone.
The CHP, Ventura County Sheriffs De-
partment and Customs and Border Protec-
tion investigated the panga boat and the
landing site and found 23 bales of mari-
juana.
InNovember, NBVCPoint Muguhosted
an anti-terrorism exercise involving 150
people from a dozen local, state and fed-
eral agencies including several involved
in the Feb. 5 incident. The scenario: Apan-
ga boat is beached on board NBVC Point
Mugu and the suspects flee to another part
of the base.
When we develop training scenarios, we
always look for the most likely threat,said
Rob Huether, installation training officer.
This incident really demonstrated that

Kaedin Averrios-Smith was about to
learn an important aspect of civil engi-
neering.
The 5-year-old had just glued some pop-
sicle sticks into place to create his truss
bridge, but before the glue had a chance
to dry, he ran over to get more sticks.
In his absence, the bridge fell apart.
That is what we call structural failure,
Lt. j.g. Alex Rovinsky told the dismayed
youngster.
Undaunted, the boy started over, joining
a dozen other kindergartners building
girder bridges and truss bridges under
Rovinskys watchful eye.
Rovinsky, whos assigned to the Public
Works Department at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, answered a call from the
Camarillo Youth Center in the Catalina
Heights military housing complex to bring
an engineering lesson to after-school pro-
grams.
I knew (Director) Brett Lane has been
wanting to bring in outside resources to
teach the kids different skills sets, said
Rovinskys wife, Rebecca, a program lead
at the center. So she asked her civil engi-
neer husband, who was eager to stop by.
Rovinsky put together two slide shows
for the youngsters one for the kinder-
gartners, the other for first- to fifth-grad-
ers. In both, he talked about suspension
bridges like the Golden Gate and arch
bridges like the stunning Bixby Creek
masterpiece in Big Sur. He also talked
about girder bridges, considered the sim-
plest of bridges, and truss bridges why
theyre different and why some are better
than others depending on their purpose.
He started by asking, What is civil en-
gineering?
Building things! one child answered.
Building big stuff!another one shout-
ed.
He showed photos of the Egyptian
pyramids and Roman aqueducts, explain-
ing that civil engineering dates back to
ancient times and that centuries-old struc-
tures are not only still standing, theyre
still in use.
He showed slides of freeway cloverleafs
answering no when one child asked
him, Did you build that? and waste-
water treatment plants and skyscrapers.
He pointed out that no matter whats
being built, engineers have to know what
type of soil theyre working with so it can
support the structure, and they have to
use a design that wont fall apart when
people start using it.
Then each youngster built a bridge,
some choosing to glue one popsicle stick
perpendicularly across two others cre-
ating an H, a simple girder bridge.
Others made two long horizontal rows
of triangles and inverted triangles a
truss bridge.
Theyre pretty into it, Rovinsky said
as the popsicle sticks began taking shape.
Engineering is really the future with this
country.
He noted that the United States will
always need civil engineers to keep up
literally the nations infrastructure.
Rovinskys father was a chemist who is
now a science teacher, so science has al-
ways been a part of his life. As a child
growing up in New Jersey, he worked on
small projects, then got more serious when
he took woodshop classes in high
school.
Working with tools and wood thats
really what drove me into civil engineer-
ing, he explained.
He studied civil engineering at Rutgers
University in New Jersey, then received
his Navy commission in March of 2010.
He was assigned to Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 40 and is
currently finishing up a two-year tour with
Public Works. Hell soon be entering the
world of combat engineering.
Hes worked with youngsters before,
serving as a judge at an elementary school
science fair.
A lot of those exhibits were very im-
pressive,he said. A lot of detail, a lot of
thought, went into some of those proj-
ects.
He believes children will fall in love with
science if given the opportunity.
The best thing we can do is to intro-
duce youngsters early to science and tech-
nology, he said. If they go into those
fields, theyll be helping out our country
as a whole.

Works Department watches. In a few minutes, his bridge would sustain, as Rovinsky put
it, structural failure.

Are you planning a move this summer?

If so, its time to contact the Navy school
liaison officer (SLO).
The SLO program within the Navy is
approximately 5 years old. It was imple-
mented because of the frequent moves
and school transfers that military
families must make. On average, a military
family will move every 2.9 years, and a
military-connected child can go to eight
to 10 schools between kindergarten and
the 12th grade. The SLO positions were
created to even the playing field for
military-connected children.
Here is some of the assistance SLOs can
provide:
School transition services: SLOs assist
families with school transfers before and
during a move. They can provide informa-
tion about the local schools and the edu-
cation options in the area. It is always best
to contact the SLOprior to the move, and
especially prior to choosing a residence.
Deployment support: SLOs connect
educators with the Navy deployment sup-
port system to inform them about the
cycles of deployment and the tools avail-
able to assist educators in working with
Navy children.
Communications: SLOs serve as subject
matter experts for installation command-
ers on K-12 issues while helping to connect
command, school and community re-
sources.
Home school linkage and support: SLOs
assist Navy families by gathering and shar-
ing information on home schooling issues,
policies and legislation from local school
districts, and they help leverage Navy
Child and Youth Programs resources to
support these families.
Partnerships In Education (PIE): PIE
creates a volunteer network of resources
to support installation and community
members who have a vested interest in the
success of all youth. Often, the SLO will
assist Sailors interested in volunteering in
local schools and will assist schools in
need of such volunteers.
Post-secondary preparation: SLOs le-
verage installation and school resources
to provide graduating military-connected
students with access to post-secondary
information and opportunities. They are
great resources for financial aid informa-
tion and scholarship opportunities.
Special needs system navigation: SLOs
provide information about installation and
community programs and services, make
referrals to the Exceptional Family Mem-
ber Program and offer assistance in navi-
gating the administrative systems within
the local education agencies.
Prior to your move, there are some
things to consider.
In most places, school assignments are
based on the location of your residence.
Not all districts allowfor school transfers.
Consider the school before agreeing to a
house, or see if school transfers are like-
ly.
Also, notify your childs current school
that the child will be leaving. Schools plan
according to the number of children they
expect for next year. Its always consider-
ate to let them know if students will not
be returning. There also may be paper-
work they can pull together for you to
make the school registration process on
the other end much easier.
Before the movers pack away your be-
longings, consider that you will need the
following items to enroll you children in
a new school: birth certificate and, if ap-
plicable, a passport; current immunization
record; housing agreement (mortgage pa-
perwork or lease agreement); contact in-
formation for current school; current
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for
a student with special needs. It is also help-
ful to have a recent report card for K-8
students or a current transcript for a high
school student.
The NBVC school liaison officer can be
contacted at 805-989-5211 or via email at
NBVC_SLO@navy.mil for any K-12 education-
related questions.

Its February, and love is in the air.
Love is the most basic aspect of any
personal relationship. It looks different
depending on what the relationship is. A
husbands love for his wife will (and should
be) expressed differently than his love for
other relatives, friends and co-workers.
However, love in general is essential for
the success of personal relationships.
Love, in its most general sense, is a kind,
compassionate disposition that seeks an-
other persons good because of the inher-
ent dignity that the other person pos-
sesses as a human being.
Every breakdown and difficulty in per-
sonal relationships stems from a lack of
love on the part of one or both people
involved. This is true of marriages as well
as work relationships. This reality is il-
lustrated by one of the most common is-
sues I encounter as a chaplain: people
assuming the worst about others.
To frame the discussion, I would like to
quote the Apostle Pauls description of
love that he gives in a letter written to the
followers of Jesus in Corinth. In that let-
ter he writes, Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast; it is not ar-
rogant or rude. It does not insist on its
own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it
does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but re-
joices with the truth. Love bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, en-
dures all things (1 Corinthians 13:4-7,
ESV).
Hopes all things.What Paul means is
fairly straightforward: To love someone
means to hope the best of them. Simply
put, if you want to truly love people, you
must not assume the worst about them.
I have spoken to countless people in the
capacity of a chaplain, pastor or friend
who have this very failure to love not
hoping the best, but assuming the worst.
It can destroy a marriage, a professional
relationship or a friendship. Here is how
it often plays out:
Johnny Seabee has become so frustrat-
ed, bitter or angry with another person in
his life that it has become more than he
can bear, and he tells me how miserable
he is. As I ask him questions to find out
more,
I often discover that the root of his mis-
ery lies in the fact that at some point in
the relationship he assumed (often wrong-
ly) that the other person thought or felt
in some negative way toward him. This
perception then became his reality even
though it was far from the truth and
he acted on his assumption.
In many instances, these same kinds of
assumptions fly back and forth between
the two people involved so many times
that objective reality fully gives way to
negative assumptions and hateful feel-
ings.
Most people are quite surprised when I
tell them the problem is probably a lack
of love. However, the entire chain of events
described above can be cut off if one sim-
ply chooses to not assume the worst about
others. The more profitable course of ac-
tion, if you think someone has it out for
you, is to hope the best of them and ask
them in a kind and courteous manner
whether they have something against you.
This gives both people the opportunity to
have an honest conversation about their
thoughts and feelings, and there is no
room left for wrong assumptions.
If you find yourself in the position of
thinking that someone in your life has ill
will toward you, but you do not know for
sure, try loving them by hoping the best
of them. That would surely be better than
the alternative of assuming the worst and
stewing in bitterness toward them, which
is like drinking poison and hoping the
other person dies.
If you seek to love others in the way the
Apostle Paul speaks of hoping the best
for them and thinking of ways you can
bless them you will find that it frees
you from the burden of negative assump-
tions and allows you to better enjoy the
relationships you are in.
Love is in the air: Is it fresh and healthful or bitter and raw?

NAWCWD Public Affairs
Rear Adm. Mike Moran, Naval Air
Warfare Center Weapons Division
(NAWCWD) commander, kicked off the
2014 Safety &Security Symposia at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu Tuesday, Feb. 4, and at Naval Air
Weapons Station China Lake the day af-
ter.
Its important to keep our people safe,
and its important to keep our information
safe, Moran said.
This was the first of the Support Our
People Symposia Series put together by
Susie Raglin, director of NAWCWDs
Corporate Operations, and her team. This
first event was a train-the-trainer event
and was open to level 1 through level 4
supervisors. Future events will be held for
the entire workforce.
The symposia are designed to increase
awareness about safety and security, and
to support the NAWCWDworkforce with
continual learning forums about topics
needed to effectively support WDs mis-
sion.
Events like this make my job easier,
said Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Hector
Garcia of the Naval Branch Health Clin-
ic Port Hueneme. Safety is imperative to
mission success.
Departments within corporate opera-
tions set up stations to offer information
and assistance to leadership and their staff.
Base and local law enforcement, along
with base fire department representatives,
also spoke to the workforce and encour-
aged situational awareness.
The most valuable assets that NAW-
CWDhas are you as a leader in the orga-
nization and our people that come to work
every day dedicated to supporting the
warfighter, said Capt. Karl Andina,
NAWCWDs vice commander. It is our
collective responsibility as NAWCWD
leaders to provide and maintain a safe and
secure environment to accomplish the mis-
sion.
John Martinez, a field training officer,
and Master at Arms 2nd Class Brad Plum-
mer, both with Force Protection at NBVC
Point Mugu, gave a presentation about
what the workforce can do in an active
shooter scenario.
This gives us face-to-face contact with
leadership and allows open forum for di-
rect Q and A, Martinez said. Just be-
cause you are not wearing a police or fire
uniformdoes not mean you cant help. Be
alert of your surroundings and pay atten-
tion to the little differences in your co-
workers.
Matt Jackson, NAWCWDChina Lakes
safety lead, encouraged supervisors to
engage the workforce about safety and
security, and to schedule fire, natural di-
saster and workplace violence discussions
with the base police and fire departments
and the local safety office.
Information technology and informa-
tion awareness, physical security and
safety, natural disasters, cyber security,
workplace violence prevention and work-
force awareness were other topics dis-
cussed.

AFN Broadcast Center Public Affairs
A small team of U.S. Navy Seabees
saved the American Forces Network
Broadcast Center (AFN BC) roughly
$130,000 in contracting costs by craning
a diesel fuel tank to a new location within
the facility.
Six Sailors from Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 4, home-
ported at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme, brought in a crane
to move the 16,000-pound tank at the
AFN BC facility in Riverside in support
of the installation of a new emergency
generator.
The AFN BC broadcasts 11 channels
of television and 10 channels of radio via
satellite 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
around the world to nearly 1 million view-
ers and listeners in 173 countries and on-
board dozens of deployed U.S. Navy
ships.
The fuel tank and generator will ensure
that the AFN BC will be able to maintain
its satellite feeds to overseas military, civil-
ian government workers, retirees and their
families in all but the worst of natural
disasters.
We needed to move the fuel tank to a
better location to feed the newgenerator,
said AFNBCs deputy director, U.S. Army
Lt. Col. John Clearwater. Initially, we
received an original quote for $35k but
that ballooned to $131k due to some con-
tracting requirements. Like the rest of
DoD, our budget has been dramatically
curtailed, and we just couldnt support
that. Thats when we reached out to the
Seabees.
Clearwater contacted Naval Construc-
tion Group (NCG) 1 Command Master
Chief Corey Heinrich, and the two began
working details to determine the feasibil-
ity of the project.
Because a crane crew was already as-
signed to construct some buildings for a
new gun range at Marine Corps Air
Ground Combat Center Twentynine
Palms, a trip to Riverside was a convenient
stopover as the crew made its way back
to NBVC Port Hueneme.
As the crew went over the final plan for
the movement of the fuel tank, the con-
fined area where the tank was being moved
from was the most significant hurdle.
Along either side of the narrow corridor
where the tank rested were buildings con-
taining high-value items critical to the
generator project. Asingle miscalculation
by any of the team members could result
in catastrophic damage to either the tank
or buildings, along with significant chance
of injury to the Seabees.
Its a little awkward, but pretty simple,
said Equipment Operator 2nd Class Fer-
nando Mendoza, the crane operator for
the job. This isnt new to me, and Im
pretty good at it.
The operation took about four hours,
and the Seabees said they loved the job.
Its awesome that we get to actually do
real not just training lifts, but to sup-
port actual customers,said Chief Equip-
ment Operator Scott Henske, the load test
director for NMCB 4. Theres no better
training to do that than what were doing
right now.
The lift was special to Henske, Mendoza
and the rest of the Seabees not just be-
cause it was a real-world operation, but
because their client was one that had
served them well in the past.
Ive been deployed overseas eight
times, said Henske. I got to watch the
Super Bowl in Iraq and Afghanistan and
in Guam [because of AFN]. Its a boost
to morale for myself and for all of our
troops that are deployed.
Its good, said Mendoza. [AFN]
helps us out with all the channels, so its
nice to be able to give a little back.

The California Gold Coast Com-
bined Federal Campaign (CFC), which
includes Ventura, Santa Barbara and
San Luis Obispo counties, collected
nearly $570,000 during the 2013 fund-
raising effort, about 20 percent less
than last year, according to Terri Bel-
kin, campaign director for Gold Coast
region.
The 2013 CFC chairman, Capt.
Mark K. Edelson, the commanding
officer of Naval Facilities Engineering
and Expeditionary Warfare Center
(NAVFAC EXWC), called the cam-
paign successful, noting that the con-
tributions are going to more than 2,000
national and local charities.
The Combined Federal Campaign
was a solid success this year, despite
the pressures on our federal workforce,
Edelson said. The contributions will
improve the quality of life for our fel-
low citizens. I would like to extend my
personal thanks to everyone who do-
nated and to those who coordinated
our collection efforts.
Belkin said the final total of $568,839
was short of the $800,000 goal, a trend
seen in many of the federal campaigns
this year.
The furloughs, all of that, damp-
ened the spirits, she said.
The Gold Coast region is made up
of about 21,000 federal workers. The
region includes Naval Base Ventura
County and Vandenberg Air Force
Base, as well as government workers in
the Air National Guard, post offices,
Social Security, the Internal Revenue
Service and other federal depart-
ments.
Campaign contributions in the Gold
Coast region have been on a downfall
since 2009. That year, $951,000 was
collected, up from $897,653 in 2008.
The campaign brought in $771,000 in
2012, down 23 percent from 2011.
Belkin said the CFC is being re-
vamped. Effective March 1, the Gold
Coast region is becoming part of the
Greater Southern California region for
the 2014 campaign, and more region-
alization is being planned nationwide
for 2015.
Belkin, who has been part of the
CFC for 10 years, said she is losing her
job, and the campaign office in Ca-
marillo is closing.
The Naval Base Ventura County
campaign will now be under the direc-
tion of Demetrius Stevenson, CFC
director of the United Way of Greater
Los Angeles, which includes Orange,
Riverside and San Bernardino counties,
Belkin said.

SAILORS OF THE YEAR
By Alyce Moncourtois
NSWC PHD
Engineering Duty Officers (EDOs)
currently attending EDO School, a
tenant command at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, visited Naval Surface
Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Divi-
sion (NSWC PHD) Jan. 30 for brief-
ings and tours.
The 22 students and two staff
members were greeted by NSWC
PHD leadership at the commands
Mission Package Support Facility, a
unique Navy asset that provides sup-
port for the mission modules of the
Navys Littoral Combat Ship.
Lt. Cmdr. Tony Holmes, Land At-
tack Department officer, represented
NSWCPHDs engineering leadership
and began his presentation by sharing
his own personal story about becom-
ing an EDO and the many options
that were available to him along his
career path. Acknowledging that he
was once in their shoes, with many
choices to make after EDO school,
Holmes encouraged the students with
words of wisdom.
The EDO community is great,
he said. I love it, and it provides
many great opportunities for a naval
career.
He also discussed how NSWC
PHD could potentially be a career
path for those graduating from the
EDO School.
Statistically, Holmes is correct.
Data fromthe Navy Personnel Com-
mand show that 25 percent of EDOs
end up serving in engineering and
technology. The data also show that
50 percent serve in fleet maintenance
and 25 percent go to acquisition pro-
gram management. The 25 percent
in engineering and technology serve
at Warfare Centers, HQDirectorates
and national missions such as diving
and salvage, strategic systems and
missile defense.
Holmes took the opportunity to
show, via organizational charts, how
many EDbillets are found within the
NSWC PHD organization.
These are exceptionally good bil-
lets,he said. The work here at PHD
is rewarding and definitely puts your
engineering knowledge to the test.
Holmes went on to provide an
overview of the commands work as
an in-service engineering agent for the
Navys surface fleet. He talked about
the breadth and depth of engineering
efforts, including test and evaluation,
combat systemin-service engineering
and integrated logistics support.
Its important for the EDO com-
munity to know we exist and what
we do, said Holmes. Since we are
not part of a large naval port like San
Diego, its easy for our work to be
overlooked.
Following the command overview,
the visitors toured the facility and
learned about the various engineering
and logistical aspects of Littoral
Combat Ship mission module sup-
port.
They also toured the Surface War-
fare Engineering Facility, where they
saw first-hand how the Self Defense
Test Ship is remotely controlled
through the land-based control cen-
ter. Later they explored the Test Ship,
learning about the various missile
testing platforms and the ships ex-
tensive technical capabilities.
Im pleased the EDOs had a
chance to see what we do for the
global fleet because some of these
highly skilled Sailors will return here
and make a huge contribution to the
future of this command, said Hol-
mes.
While attending EDO School, the
officers go through a five-week basic
course that provides the knowledge
of plans, programs, policies and pro-
cedures by which the Navy accom-
plishes the acquisition and life-cycle
engineering of naval ships, subma-
rines and systems. The course doesnt
teach engineering from an academic
perspective because the students have
already earned their engineering
masters degrees. Instead, it focuses
on the methods by which the Navy
manages the engineering of its ships
and systems.
EDOs focus on the life-cycle re-
search, development, acquisition,
construction, maintenance, modern-
ization and disposal of all ship and
submarine systems.

Its important
for the EDO
community to
know we exist and
what we do.

DILI, Timor-Leste Seabees assigned
to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3s Timor-Leste Construction
Civic Action Detail (CCAD) joined the
countrys president in delivering 600 chil-
drens books to Timorese students Jan.
15.
Seabees joined President Taur Matan
Ruak at the Escola Basiki Similesu Pri-
mary School in the mountainous jungle
village of Gleno as he presented the books
to the schools director on behalf of the
Seabee-Timor team.
Afterward, he spoke to the Seabees
about his time in the Falintil-Foras de
Defesa de Timor Leste (F-FDTL) and
shared stories about his combat experi-
ences.
The president told us that he spent
decades fighting in the jungle, leaving his
home as a young man and not returning
until he was in his 40s,said Construction
Electrician 3rd Class Chioke Richards. It
was inspiring.
After enjoying a community-organized
reception that included a traditional meal,
dancing and singing, Seabees went to work
building a bookcase and reading the books
with the students.
The children really got a kick out of
some of the pop-up books and pictures
in the stories, said Construction Me-
chanic 3rd Class Nathan Pogorzelski. We
would read the words slowly and the stu-
dents would repeat what we were say-
ing.
There is a great urgency for young peo-
ple to learn English in Timor-Leste. Un-
derstanding this need, NMCB 3s Timor-
Leste CCAD liaison officer, Lt. j.g. Mark
Guida, decided to voice the concern to his
hometown in Pennsylvania, and residents
there took the task to action.
Guidas mother, Dee, is a faculty advisor
of a Kiwanis International youth organi-
zation called K-Kids at an elementary
school in Enola, Pa. She asked the children
if they would like to help, and the K-Kids
organized a monthlong book drive in No-
vember, spreading the word across the
school.
I thought it would be great to not only
give books to children that would get so
much joy out of having something to read
in their schools but also connect students
in my hometown with the children of
Timor-Leste and learn what their schools
are like and how they live, Mark Guida
said.
The K-Kids ended up collecting and
shipping more than 2,000 childrens
books to Timor-Leste. The Seabees
raised money to cover all shipping
costs.
By linking the two communities of
young students both from America
and Timor-Leste Guida forged the
same bond of friendship already felt be-
tween the Seabees and Timor-Leste De-
fense Force as they work together to
perform humanitarian construction proj-
ects across the island.
The Seabees invaluable and innumer-
able contributions to Timor-Leste go
above and beyond the very important
construction work they do, said The
U.S. Embassy to Timor-Lestes Charge
dAffaires Scott Ticknor. They are am-
bassadors to the local communities, and
U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battal-
ion 3s interest in promoting education
and dedication to bringing these materi-
als to the community is priceless.

NMCB 3
OKINAWA, Japan For the
past year, commuters traveling
along the primary access roadthat
connects the Heshikiya commu-
nity to the White Beach Naval
Facility did so at their own peril.
Perched roughly 150 meters above
the road on the mountainous face
of an exposed ridge, a boulder the
size of a compact car peereddown
the cliff, threatening to fall at any
moment.
Composed of different types of
dirt, stone and clay and held in
place by a small natural dirt wedge
about the size of dustpan, the boul-
der hada size andconsistency that
could enable it to easily crush
through the average Japanese ve-
hicle and kill anyone traveling on
foot.
With no money left in his bud-
get, Heshikiya District Chief Mit-
suoShinyastruggledtofindasolu-
tion that would allow the open
transit of this important road and
remove the dangerous conditions
threatening those under his
charge.
LedbyChief ConstructionElec-
trician Chance Agnew, 13 Seabees
from Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 3 ventured to
the ridge above White Beach last
monthtoridHeshikiyaof its prob-
lem.
Agnews plan was simple in
theory: Use equipment in the bat-
talions existing inventory to climb
the ridge, lock workers safely into
place, then use a jackhammer and
several other heavy tools to bust
the boulder apart, piece by piece.
Agnewcombed NMCB3 look-
ing for members who had both
advancedrockclimbingexperience
and gear so they could safely exe-
cute his plan.
Logistics Specialists 2nd Class
Eric Johnson and Travis Pommer,
best friends and both assigned to
NMCB 3s Supply Department,
answered Agnews call. Having
safely completed more than 200
climbs between them, they were
able to use the 200-foot climbing
ropes, carabineers and harnesses
inthe battalions inventorytoallow
Agnews team of Seabees to re-
move the cliffside tumor both
safely and within the allotted
time.
Prior to actually putting hands
on the boulder, Agnew and his
team spent days clearing paths
leading through the triple-canopy
jungle that surrounded the ridge.
This helped them gain safe access
tothe jobsite andtransport a gen-
erator, jackhammer, fuel and oth-
er tools, including a wire litter in
case someone was injured.
Once access was establishedand
gear staged, Pommer andJohnson
created a solid anchor point using
a redundant locking system that
ensured the only thing sent tum-
bling down the cliff was the boul-
der.
That was the biggest challenge,
Agnew said, getting access
through this thick jungle and en-
suring everyone was taking their
time, paying attentionandlooking
out for each other. We had good
radiocommunication, sowe could
each pass along whatever was
needed in case of an emergency
a corpsman on site and an am-
bulance on site fromWhite Beach
not more than 300 meters from
where we worked.
Once their climbing systemwas
secure andanchors set, Agnewand
his teamdonnedclimbing helmets,
eye protection and climbing har-
nesses to reach the boulder. They
used a large jackhammer to drive
steel rebar stakes into the heart of
the rocky beast. These stakes al-
lowedlarge sections of the boulder
to shed safely from the mass and
roll easily down the slope.
Once we were able to get safely
locked in position, our top crew
did a great job sending us tools,
food, stayinghydratedandmaking
sure we could stay in our work
rhythm,said Agnew. We trusted
our climbing experts to keep us
safe, and they trusted us to get the
work done. The teamwork was
perfect.
The project ran from Jan. 14 to
29.
On the last day, as the team
watched the last piece of the boul-
der collapse into the dense jungle,
the crew spread out across the
job site cheered and high-fived,
allowing the nearby populace to
hear the Seabees joy at having
eliminated a threat to the commu-
nity and making a true impact on
the districts safety.
Ive been working on trying to
get the boulder removedfor a year
and a half, District Chief Shinya
said through an interpreter. I
want tothankthe Seabees for help-
ing solve this problem. Their mo-
tivationandspirit assuredme they
could get the job done.

NSWC PHD
Underway Replenishment (UN-
REP) personnel from Naval Sur-
face Warfare Center, Port Huen-
eme Division (NSWC PHD)
provided specialized refueling
training for the crewof USS Pele-
liu (LHA 5) Jan. 27-31 at the
commands UNREP test site.
Although the ship was not in
port, 15 Sailors traveled fromSan
Diego to Port Hueneme to learn
UNREP operational procedures
from the Navys experts.
Most of the Sailors that come
here have never experienced an
actual UNREP evolution, said
Bob Hilger, UNREP division
manager. Our job is to give them
a thorough understanding of the
procedures with hands-on learn-
ing from our team of profession-
als.
Pelelius crewstarted with class-
roomtraining in standard operat-
ing procedures for conducting
UNREP maneuvers. They then
received hands-on machinery
practice for fuel and cargo rig-
sending and receiving specific to
their ship. As the training pro-
gressed, the Sailors became more
comfortable with the hoses, rig-
ging and equipment.
The UNREP test site offers
training in a static and controlled
environment where there is norisk
to personnel or cargo.
It was satisfying to see the
Sailors progress and gain confi-
dence in their abilities to perform
underway replenishment opera-
tions, said Hilger.
As the Navys only fully
equipped and operational UN-
REP test site, NSWC PHD has
provided replenishment engineer-
ing services to the surface fleet
since 1963. NSWCPHDs experts
are the fleets full service UNREP
agents, maintaining crucial capa-
bilities that allow the U.S. fleet to
remain at sea for as long as neces-
sary.
Peleliu, commissioned in 1980
and homeported in San Diego, is
a Tarawa-class amphibious assault
ship named for the World War II
Battle of Peleliu.

More than a dozen volunteers fromNa-
val Base Ventura County took time out
fromtheir busy schedules Wednesday, Jan.
29, to serve as judges at an annual science
fair at Santa Clara Elementary School in
Oxnard.
Many came away impressed by the stu-
dents efforts, including Technical Editor
Darla Pluckrose of the Naval Surface
Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division
(NSWC PHD).
I wanted to participate in this pro-
gram, she said, because I believe kids
need to interact with adults at this age in
order to come out of their shells. I am
impressed with the work and presentation
of these projects, and I am happy to be a
part of it.
Students from the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades presented projects in a num-
ber of categories, including chemistry,
physics, animal behavior, botany and life
sciences.
According to Michelle Mullen, a sev-
enth-grade teacher at the school and the
project coordinator, events like the science
fair help prepare students for the future
by promoting a higher level of thinking,
something the school encourages in their
students from an early age.
She said the Navys involvement has
been critical to the success of the annual
event.
Theyre all very friendly and knowl-
edgeable, she said of the Sailors who
volunteer. We really appreciate themtak-
ing their time to help our students.
Each judge carefully examined the proj-
ects prior to the students arriving so they
would be prepared with appropriate ques-
tions. The judges questioned students
about their experiments and evaluated
them on the level of complexity, the suc-
cess of the experiment and on the students
presentation skills.
When asked howhe judged the students
work, Baseline Assessment Test Director
Kenneth Unchangco explained, I focused
on the creativity, presentation and how
well the experiments were conducted. I
was highly impressed with the work and
will definitely return as a judge next
year.
Many students researched a subject re-
lated to a hobby or a sport to which they
dedicated a lot of time.
Lt. Adrian Laney, Combat Systems Ship
Qualifications Trials project officer at
NSWC PHD, was happy to give back to
the community and engage with the stu-
dents.
As an Engineering Duty Officer, said
Laney, I want to help younger genera-
tions get excited about and engaged in the
fields of science, engineering and math. It
was really a joy and a privilege to help
judge the wonderful projects that the stu-
dents at Santa Clara had obviously worked
so hard on.
Navy helps judge science fairs
Judging for the 60th Ventura Coun-
ty Science Fair at the Ventura Coun-
ty Fairgrounds is set for March 19,
and volunteer judges are needed.
About 900 students are expected to
enter the competition.
This means that nearly 250 judges
are needed to adequately judge the
projects and interview the students,
said John Tarkany, who organizes
student competitions for the Ventura
County Office of Education. Thank-
fully we live in a community that re-
sponds to the call and provides vol-
unteers. For example, over the course
of the past years the Navy has pro-
vided anywhere from20 to 40 of those
judges. The students are always im-
pressed when they realize that the
Navy is on site and helping to judge
their projects.
To volunteer, visit www.vcoe.org/sc,
go to the Science Fair tab and call up
Volunteer Judges Registration. For
more information, call Tarkany at
805-437-1501.

Lt. Daniel Taphorn of the Naval Satellite Operations Center at Naval Base Ventura County,
Point Mugu, listens as Santa Clara sixth-grader Gabriel Espinosa explains his experiment,
The Smell of Taste and Food. Taphorn said he liked the fact that students had to discuss
their work outside the classroom with people they dont know. Public speaking skills are
critical in todays world, he said.w

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Let me congratulate you on making it
through another holiday shopping season.
Hopefully, you were able to put together
a shopping strategy that minimized the
damage to your bank account. If you
spent more than you wanted to and could
use some assistance in figuring out how
to pay it all off, give the Fleet & Family
Support Center (FFSC) a call and we will
see how we might be able to help. Know-
ing that in another 10 months we get to
do this all over again, it might be extreme-
ly beneficial to start planning now.
As far as saving goes, the Department
of Defense implemented a social market-
ing campaign in February 2007 titled
Military Saves.This is a collective effort
to not only persuade, motivate and en-
courage military families to save every
month, but also to convince leaders and
organizations to be actively aggressive in
supporting and promoting automatic sav-
ings. While it is an ongoing annual cam-
paign, the entire military community
comes together to focus on financial read-
iness during Military Saves Week. This
year, that week is from Feb. 24 to March
1.
The campaigns lifeblood is in its part-
ners and organizations that see the value
in working together to empower members,
employees, customers and clients to be-
come financially stable through saving,
debt reduction and wealth-building over
time. Bottom line: Its time to commit to
building wealth, not debt.
For this years Military Saves Campaign,
the FFSC is holding several financial
events for Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) personnel and their families.
First off, you should be seeing Military
Saves pledge boxes in your command
spaces and around the base. These pledge
boxes are where you can drop your pledge
to yourself to save money and also request
more information from the FFSC finan-
cial counselors on different financial top-
ics, such as car buying, home buying, in-
vesting and paying down debt. You can
also make a pledge by going to www.
militarysaves.org, and youll receive your
free FICO score and credit report.
The FFSC will also be hosting two Fi-
nancial Resource Fairs. The first is Feb.
25 at the Navy Exchange at NBVC Port
Hueneme, and the second is Feb. 27 at the
Navy Exchange, NBVCPoint Mugu. Both
fairs run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
In attendance will be numerous resourc-
es, including Navy-Marine Corps Relief
Society, Armed Forces Bank, CBC Fed-
eral Credit Union, Ventura County FAST
Program and WIC. There will also be an
opportunity to win an awesome prize!
Additionally, FFSC will be holding fi-
nancial Lunch n Learn classes through-
out the month of March. All classes are
from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. They are:
Car Buying, March 10, Point Mugu
FFSC.
How To Improve Your Credit Score,
March 21, Port Hueneme FFSC.
Saving and Investing, March 25, Port
Hueneme FFSC.
We hope you take advantage of all the
financial resources the FFSC has to of-
fer.
If you have questions, call Dan Savage
at the Point Mugu FFSC, 805-989-8844,
or Brittany Barton at the Port Hueneme
FFSC at 805-982-3726. Your command
financial specialist (CFS) will also have
updated information.

By Renee Hatcher
NAWCWD
During a two-day meet-
ing in December, senior
leadership of the Naval Air
Warfare Center Weapons
Division (NAWCWD) met
to map out the commands
future. Instead of just de-
ciding upon and setting the
course for the command,
the leadership teamdecided
the best way forward was
to identify key objective
areas, establish teams
throughout the organiza-
tion to address each one,
andthenbuildNAWCWDs
vision for the future togeth-
er.
We are going to leverage
the tremendous talent and
expertise this organization
is blessed to have as we de-
termine how best to meet
Vice Adm. Dunaways vi-
sion,said Rear Adm. Mike
Moran, NAWCWD com-
mander, referring to Vice
Adm. David Dunaway,
commander, Naval Air Sys-
tems Command. We are
building teams and reach-
ing deep into the organiza-
tion for those new and in-
novative ideas. You never
know where that golden
nugget is going to come
from.
NAWCWD is aligned to
NAVAIRs long-range strat-
egy, which is focused on
people, integrated warfight-
ing capability and afford-
ability. The Weapons Divi-
sion has identified nine
objectives on which to focus
in an effort to move the
command forward while
supporting NAVAIRs three
priorities.
Some of the objectives
involve remaining focused
on the fleet, increasing the
capability of what we al-
ready have, getting back to
the forefront of science and
technology, investing in
core skills and reinvigorat-
ing invention. NAWCWD
employees should expect to
hear fromtheir supervisors
or focus area leaders, if they
havent already, about the
details of the objectives and
how they can get involved.
More information can be
found online at https://
mynavair.navair.navy.mil/
links/WDobjectives. After
reviewing this information,
the workforce is encouraged
toemail NAWCWD-PAO@
navy.mil and specify which
objective they want to sup-
port.
This is an opportunity
to help define the future of
NAWCWD, Moran said.
We are inviting you to get
out of your comfort zone
and participate in an inno-
vative culture that is dedi-
cated to providing more
warfighting capability at a
reduced cost.
Command leaders recog-
nize there are challenges on
the horizon like downward
trending budgets and neu-
tral workforce growth. And
although there are still un-
answered questions that
must be worked through as
a team, according to leader-
ship, the call to arms is real
and immediate.
Nations around the
world are heavily investing
in advanced military tech-
nologies to gain that deci-
sive advantage in combat
and challenge the techno-
logical superiority our
forces have enjoyed for de-
cades, Moran said. Re-
member, U.S. RDT&E (re-
search, development, and
test and evaluation facili-
ties) have been instrumental
in providing that decisive
technical advantage our
warfighters have enjoyed,
and Weapons Division has
played a significant role in
that regard. The challenge
to maintain it, however,
nowrests on our shoulders.
It is up to each one of us to
engage and participate with
our best and brightest ideas
to help make a future we
can all be proud of and one
that keeps the legacy of
NAWCWD alive, and our
Sailors, Marines, Soldiers
and Airmen safe.
Moran also wanted to
remind the workforce that
the nation is still at war and
there are warfighters whose
daily lives are fraught with
significant risk. He said he
doesnt want the workforce
to ever forget that the work
performed at NAWCWDis
important and essential to
keeping the warfighter safe
and the mission whole.
The work you do is rel-
evant, and its directly con-
nected to our national de-
fense posture, said Scott
ONeil, NAWCWD execu-
tive director. Terrorism
has not gone away; our call-
ing is to help keep the Unit-
ed States and our way of
life free and safe.

Every time we do this, my heart sings,
said Lori Steinhauer, a clinical counselor
with the FFSCand the coordinator of the
Military Teens Club at E.O. Green, one
of half a dozen schools near the base that
host a club for children of military-con-
nected families.
Steinhauer said she enjoys seeing the
admiration and appreciation the children
show todays military personnel through
their valentines.
E.O. Green Principal Heidi Haines said
the lessons taught in the school quad that
day transcend the classroom.
As a former Navy brat, I remember
howhard deployments were, howdifficult
it was to have Dad away at the holidays,
she said. This is a simple and easy way
to give back to the people serving our
country. Its a morale-builder for kids
whose parents serve, and it promotes our
school spirit.
continued from 3
basis or by appointment. The center is
available to active-duty service members
from all branches, their dependents and
retirees. The program is free to all service
members and their dependents; there is a
minimal charge for retirees whose adjust-
ed gross income is more than $58,000.
Volunteers are available to help people
who have questions as theyre preparing

Its free and easy, and any questions I
have, there are people right here who can
answer them,Aviation Electricians Mate
1st Class Nathan Stiverson of Carrier
Airborne Command and Control Squad-
ron (VAW) 117 said as he worked on his
tax return with his wife, Jessica.
Seated next to them, ready to help, was
first-time volunteer Edgar Paniagua. He
was there on his lunch hour; hes an avia-
tion structural mechanic safety equipment
airman with VAW-112.
I wanted to help out, he said, adding
that he took the free training class offered.
Anyone can manage to do this once a
week.
Aviation Boatswains Mate Launch and
Recovery Equipment 2nd Class Aaron
Pitts, whos stationed on San Nicolas Is-
land, was also volunteering.
I did it last year, he explained. I en-
joyed it and learned a lot, so I called and
asked where I could sign up again.
Gonzales stressed that taxpayers need
to bring in last years return, and they must
have an email address.
The tax center is open from 11 a.m. to
4 p.m. Monday through Friday in class-
room 102 of Building 103, the headquar-
ters for Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion 3 at Harris Street and 23rd

ers need to bring the following documents
with them:
All W-2 forms for the taxpayer and
spouse (if applicable).

cluding name, address, Social Security

dates of birth for all dependents.

Most of the food service will move to the
9th Hole snack shack, which will be open
from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. seven days a
week.
Well be serving burgers, hot dogs, sand-
wiches andbeverages, andwe might expand
the menudependingondemand,saidRyan
Hunter, chef supervisor at the 19th Hole.
A beverage cart on the patio will also sell
food from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a
week.
Hunter said the 19th Hole, which is open
from6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily this time of year,
serves about 120 people a day. Because the
kitchen will remain open and the 9th Hole
will have longer hours, he didnt have to lay
off anyone during construction.
Hes looking forward to the completed
project andtheadditionof aStarbucks menu,
complete withespressodrinks andicedbev-
erages.
Imreallyexcitedabout it,he said. This
will be a great change.
As part of the $150,000 renovation, the
wall that now cuts the dining room in half
will be removed, creatingalarger, more open
eatingareawithdiningtables inthe backand
a lounge with sofas and easy chairs in front.
An electric faux fireplace will be installed
alongthe wall betweenthe 19thHole andthe
proshop, andalarge-screenTVwill beplaced
above the mantel.
Carpeting will be replaced with wood
laminate flooring, and all the wallpaper will
be removed.
This will be a huge improvement aes-
thetically over what we have now, Hunter
said.

minimize impact on installation tenants
and facilities.
Emergency services such as fire and se-
curity will be ready and able to respond
despite the power outage.
The power outage will close the gas
pumps at the Navy Exchange (NEX) and
NBVC Port Hueneme and Point Mugu;
the Point Mugu locations pay at the
pump feature is relayed via Internet
through the Port Hueneme location, which
will be without power.
Boththe NEXandcommissary are plan-
ning to open at normally scheduled times
for the Presidents Day holiday; Morale,
Welfare and Recreation facilities will also
operate on regular holiday schedules.
Public Works offers the following tips to
prepare for the nightlong outage:
Get flashlights, batteries, candles, etc.
ready ahead of time.
Turn refrigerators and freezers to a
colder setting prior to the outage and keep
freezer and refrigerator doors closed
throughout the outage.
Add water, juice, soda or other liquids
to the refrigerator ahead of time to hold
the cool temperatures inside the refrigera-
tor longer.
Charge cell phones, tablets, computers,
etc., in advance. Cable and Internet service
will be down, so Internet will be limited to
whats provided through cellular service.
Outage will affect NBVC Port Hueneme for 24 hours
