Is your new years resolution to hit a hole-in-one at

the Seabee Golf Course?
Chances are that if you get your base-access form in
now, you could be working on that goal at the start of
2015, course officials say.
Earlier this year, that kind of turnaround was unheard
of. But with the backlog of base-access forms cleared
and with a reshuffling of staffing, most golfers are getting on Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme within three to four weeks of turning in the right
paperwork.

Command climate survey response low, but results show base is in great shape
Question: What happened with the command climate
survey? When are we going to be informed regarding the
results?
Answer: Thank you for asking about the command
climate survey. I held several survey debrief sessions
throughout October, visiting San Nicolas Island, meeting
with chiefs and officers, junior Sailors and civilians. Im
sorry you missed the talks, but Im glad you brought up the
survey.
According to those surveyed, the command is in great
shape. We are at or above the Navy average in 19 of 20 categories, and many who participated in the survey feel they
are a valued part of the command. We have some work to
do in addressing disability issues and in making our junior
civilians feel they are a well-informed part of the team.
I am concerned that so few people chose to participate
in the survey this year. Only 316 people, less than a quarter of the command, completed the anonymous survey.
Some would say If they didnt fill it out, then they must be
happy, but Im not one of those. This is an opportunity

for you to tell me how were doing, and how to do it better.
Each and every person is a valued member of the team,
and your input is critical to our continued improvement.
It is OK to tell me we are doing well or NTSR: Nothing
Significant To Report.
I hope that you all continue to offer the kind of honest,
detailed feedback Ive come to value, and that more of you
take the opportunity to use this valuable evaluation tool.
This is your command, and in many ways, I work for you.
Let me know how we are doing!
Do you have questions, comments, or suggestions?
I want to hear them! Reach me here by emailing lighthouse@navy.mil, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/
NavalBaseVenturaCounty or on Twitter at www.twitter.
com/NBVCCalifornia. You can also go online to our
homepage at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and use
the Commanding Officers Suggestion Box. I look forward
to hearing from you.

plans since the last town hall in March.

He started with something that nobody
could have foreseen at the March event:
the influx of children crossing into the
United States without adults accompanying them. This humanitarian crisis
prompted the Department of Health and
Human Services to ask the military to help
shelter these children temporarily. NBVC
was the only Navy installation to do so;
other shelters opened at Joint Base San
Antonio-Lackland and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.
This went from Can you do it? to
Youre going to do it and theyll be here
in about a week, Vasquez told the group.

We were asked to do it, and we did it
very, very well.
More than 1,500 children were processed through the center for 10 weeks
beginning in early June. While the Department of Health and Human Services operated the facility, the base dealt with the
impact of having hundreds of additional
personnel on base, including all gate access
issues and media and VIP tours.
This was a significant effort for us,
Vasquez said.

Sailors urged to settle these legal matters before deploying

The Region Legal Service Office
(RLSO) at Naval Base Ventura County
has issued this checklist for Sailors preparing to deploy.
Support: Make sure your dependents
will have an adequate and continuous
amount of support while you are deployed. You can set up allotments and
direct deposits, or consider having joint
checking and savings accounts. Make
sure that all dependents are registered
in DEERS, especially newborns.
Family care plan: Dual-military and
single parent military members must
complete a Family Care Plan designating
an individual to take care of children
during deployment. The person designated as caregiver must sign the form
agreeing to the plan.
Powers of attorney: Consider executing powers of attorney to authorize
people you trust to act on your behalf.
Powers of attorney are useful documents
for both married and single service mem-
bers. A power of attorney enables someone to pay your bills, register your car,
pay your taxes, ship your household
goods and do a multitude of other
things. Please refer to the RLSO handout on powers of attorney to determine
whether you need a specific or a general power of attorney.
Wills: Think about drafting or updating your will, especially if you have had
a child or gotten married. If you are not
sure if you need a will, you should refer
to the RLSO handout on wills.
Medical directives: An advance medical directive lets you choose whom you
wish to make medical decisions for you
if you are medically unable to make such
decisions yourself. A living will lets you
express your desires as to how you wish
to receive life-sustaining treatment.
Please refer to the RLSO handout on
advanced medical directives.
Life insurance: Make sure that your
life insurance beneficiaries are up to
date. Life insurance proceeds will not

pass through your will because your life
insurance policy is a contract between
you and the life insurance company. You
can name a child as a beneficiary, but
the money will go to the guardian of the
child until the child reaches the age of
majority, usually 18. If you want to leave
insurance proceeds to your children and
have someone other than the other biological parent manage the childrens
money, you should first see an attorney.
Leases: In cases where the monthly
rent is less than $2,465, military clauses
are no longer needed due to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Do
not attempt to break a lease without
consulting an attorney. Service members
can only break a lease if they have valid
PCS orders or if the service member is
deploying for a period of more than 90
days. Please consult the SCRA handout
for more information.
Credit report and active duty alert:

To help avoid identity theft, add an active duty alert to your credit reports by
calling any one of the three credit reporting agencies. Calling one places the
alert on file with the others. The active
duty alert requires the agencies to contact you directly to verify your identity
if someone requests credit in your name.
The number for TransUnion is 1-800680-7289. Equifax is 1-800-525-6285.
Experian is 1-800-397-3742. You should
also regularly check your credit history.
You are entitled to a free annual report
at www.annualcreditreport.com.

matters designed to help protect members
of the military, contact the Legal Assistance

NSWC PHD commanding officer meets with local leaders

By Tom Frazee
NSWC PHD
Speaking to the general membership at a Regional Defense Partnership for the 21st Century (RDP-21)
meeting Nov. 4, Capt. Eric H. Ver
Hage, commanding officer, Naval
Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD),
thanked the community for its support, shared specifics on the contributions his command makes in
support of the U.S. Navys operating forces, and discussed the positive economic, social and intellectual impact his workforce has on
the community within which they
work and live.
Ver Hage told the more than 50
business, government and academic leaders as well as active and
retired members of the Ventura
County Navy community that the
technical work accomplished at
NSWC PHD is in support of a
Navy that is more in demand
around the globe than ever.
As a designated Navy laboratory, NSWC PHDs customer is the
Fleet, Ver Hage said. We accomplish our mission with a world-class
team of engineers, technicians and

of technology transfer with members of the Regional Defense Partnership
for the 21st Century Nov. 4.
logisticians who are focused not

just on ensuring and improving
combat capabilities but driving
down operating costs as well.
During his talk, Ver Hage cited
statistics on patents awarded, the
number of Navy and Marine Corps
programs his command supports,
his annual financial numbers and

the significant number of visitors
that travel to his command each
year.
Ver Hage also talked about the
power of Technology Transfer
or T2, as it is known saying, T2
allows the Navy to share patented
Navy technology and collaboratively partner with local universities, colleges, government and nongovernment agencies and the
business community.
He also talked about the rich
potential for partnership with four
other Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) laboratories: the Naval
Research Laboratory; the Naval
Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at NBVC Point Mugu; the
Naval Post Graduate School Center for Asymmetric Warfare and
the Naval Facilities Commands
Engineering and Expeditionary
Warfare Center.
Discussions focused on Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements (CRADAs), ideas for
sharing patented Navy technology
through licensing agreements,
Educational Partnership Agreements (EPAs) that involve loan of
excess laboratory equipment, internship and fellowship opportunities and expanded opportunities
to work with industry partners.
This is the type of collaboration
that not only benefits the Navy, it
also positively impacts the local
community and local economy as

well, Ver Hage said. It is a real
win-win.
Speaking of his commands current collaboration with the University of California Santa Barbara,
California State University Channel Islands, Pepperdine University,
RDP-21 and others, he said, Im
pleased with the partnership we
already have between the Navy and
the community and am excited
about the new partnerships that are
in the works. When you bring all
these entities together with an eye
towards collective success and solving problems, the magic really happens.
He went on to say, In this economy and with the challenges our
Navy and nation face around the
globe today, this type of partnership is an imperative.
Ver Hage thanked RDP-21 for
its longtime support of his nearly
2,700 local civil servants, military
and contractor personnel.
As NSWC PHD is an awesome
asset to the Navy, this community
is an awesome asset to NSWC
PHD, he said.

Planning for college is a year-round task,

but the beginning of the calendar year is
the prime time to begin completing financial aid and scholarship applications.
The Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) is available Jan. 1 for the
2015-2016 school year. Even if families
have not completed their taxes, they can
complete the FAFSA with estimated figures
and update it later with accurate information. Its important to complete it as soon
as possible for several reasons.
The Cal Grant is a state grant awarded
to students based on income and academic eligibility. The deadline to apply is March
2. Completing the FAFSA and a Cal Grant
GPA verification form by March 2 is necessary. A high school counselor can assist
with the verification form.
There is a new middle-income grant from
California for families earning up to
$100,000 who do not qualify for Cal Grants
or Pell Grants. The benefit is a 40 percent
break on tuition and fees. For families with
income between $100,001 and up to
$150,000, theres a 10 percent tuition break.
There is limited funding, so students in this
category should file as soon after Jan. 1 as

Following God isnt supposed to be drudgery

I often run into people who want to
walk in obedience to God, but find that
their desires on a day-to-day basis seem
to conflict with this purpose. The difficulty, it would seem, is that having a relationship with God appears to require a
great deal of self-denial and forgoing the
satisfaction of desires that do not fit Gods
ideal for a persons life.
However, those desires themselves do
not simply go away, and the frustration
people feel when their desires go unsatisfied often sours their experience of God.
In fact, having a relationship with God
can easily become a drudgery.
Obedience in such cases is fueled by fear
of future punishment for not measuring
up to Gods standard. God becomes a
frightful ogre, and people in this situation
can easily and understandably become resentful.
The problem is one of perspective. There
is not a single instance in Scripture, at least
not that I am aware of, where God commands obedience and self-denial where he
does not also hold out a corresponding
reward as a motivation.
For instance, Jesus says, If anyone
would come after me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Chaplains
corner
with Lt. Ken
Stiles
NMCB 4
For whoever would save his life will lose

it, but whoever loses his life for my sake
will save it (Luke 9:2324).
That is about as intense a self-denial
passage as one will find in the Bible.
However, it is important not to lose sight
of the motivation held out to the one who
would follow Jesus: life. Life in this instance refers to the fullness of eternal life
and all that comes with it. The reasoning
is simple: If you want to live in the truest
sense of the word, then deny yourself.
Jesus is not telling anybody that they
have to live a miserable existence of unsatisfied desires just because that is the
type of drudgery God wants people to
experience in life. Rather, Jesus is telling

people to deny themselves the fleeting and
empty pleasures of this world and gain
for themselves the greater and permanent
pleasures of the world to come.
C.S. Lewis once put it this way: It
would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are
half-hearted creatures, fooling about with
[earthly pleasures] when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants
to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by
the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are
far too easily pleased.
If you find yourself becoming disheartened by what you perceive to be the drudgery of following God, perhaps you need
only to lay hold of the biblical motivation
held out to you in order to have your perspective changed. The life of Gods people
is supposed to be one of joyous anticipation of the good life to come, not a continual mourning of the life left behind that
was not going to satisfy or last forever
anyway.
To quote C.S. Lewis again: If I find in
myself desires which nothing in this world
can satisfy, the only logical explanation is
that I was made for another world.
Tea for a Cause tackles some difficult issues
How domestic abuse and

sexual violence affects victims

Lt. Lesa Welliver, the staff
chaplain who organized both
events, explained why she chose
such difficult topics for the afternoon teas.
First, she said, she wanted to
create a warm and gentle setting for topics that are usually
discussed in a clinical manner.
Second, she said, I couldnt
ask for more warm and caring
people to discuss these difficult topics.
And third, Everyone has
been affected by one or both of
these topics, she said, adding

a condition in which the
body shuts down and the victim
is physically unable to fight
back, bolstering a defendants
contention that since there were
no bruises, the sex was consensual.
Flores also discussed bruises on the inside non-physical abuse that can be just as
damaging, like belittling, withholding affection and restricting someones ability to come
and go freely.
The strongest risk factor to
being abused or being an abuser is being a witness to abusive
behavior, Flores said.
We default to what we know,
what weve learned, she said.

St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School in Camarillo used Veterans Day to offer up a lesson on todays
Navy.
Kindergartners through eighth-graders attended a patriotic ceremony in the courtyard Monday,
Nov. 10, then broke into three groups to watch a
video presented by Electronics Technician 1st Class
Chris Huddleston of Air Operations at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.
The video, shot during Huddlestons deployment
in 2008, showed what life is like on a ship and some
of the work the Navy does abroad.
We paint schools. We catch bad guys. We feed
people. We refuel the ship, Huddleston told the
students.
The video showed Sailors getting a haircut
Yes, we had barbershops on the ship, Huddleston
explained and spending spare time playing
bingo, fishing and swimming in the ocean.
There were also shots of Sailors painting a
school and sinking a fishing boat that had bad
stuff on it, Huddleston told the students.

Its great that our students have the opportunity to not only say thank you, but also to learn

Federal workers check up on their health, benefits at fairs

Hundreds of federal workers took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions directly of the people who work for
the companies that provide their health
benefits during health fairs earlier this
month at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC).
The health fair at NBVC Port Hueneme
was held Wednesday, Nov. 5, at Dukes;
the one at NBVC Point Mugu was held
Thursday, Nov. 6, at Bldg. 366 in the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division
(NAWCWD) complex. Nearly two dozen
health care providers and insurance companies attended each event.
Federal workers have until Monday,
Dec. 8, to decide what health plans they
want for 2015. If they dont request any
changes, their choices for 2014 are automatically renewed, and any modifications
the company made to that plan for 2015
take effect.
Loretta Mitchell, a human resources
specialist for Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD)

fair, said benefits change every year.

turkey fryers with the UL mark.

Experts recommend that consumers
who choose to fry turkeys at home follow these safety guidelines:
Keep fryer in full view while the
burner is on.
Place fryer in an open area away
from all walls, fences or other structures.
Never use a fryer in, on or under a
garage, breezeway or any structure that
can catch fire.
Make sure there is at least 2 feet of
space between the propane tank and
the fryer burner.
Center the pot over the burner on
the cooker.
Check the oil temperature frequently.
If the oil begins to smoke, immediately turn off the gas supply.
Raise and lower food slowly to re-
duce splatter and avoid burns.

Cover bare skin with well-insulated
potholders or oven mitts when removing or adding food.
Completely thaw and dry the turkey
before cooking. Partially frozen and/or
wet turkeys can produce excessive hot
oil splatter when added to oil.
Never leave the fryer unattended.
Never let children or pets near the
fryer when in use.
If a fire occurs, immediately call 91-1.
Do not use water on a grease fire.
While awaiting the fire departments
arrival, an all-purpose fire extinguisher can be used if you have one ready
and know how to use it.
For additional information on fire
prevention safety for your home or facility, contact the NBVC Fire Prevention Office at 805-989-0112.
First Lights on Afterschool event held at NBVC

Its a time to celebrate
programs that nurture
children and let kids
and parents have fun
together
Nearly 100 children and their parents
attended the first annual Lights on Afterschool Spooktacular at the Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme Youth Center.
Launched in October 2000, Lights on
Afterschool is the only nationwide event
that celebrates afterschool programs and
their important role in the lives of children, families and communities. It is
organized by the Afterschool Alliance
to draw attention to the many ways these
programs support students.
The NBVC event took place from 5 to
7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23. Children and
their families competed in costume and
pumpkin-decorating contests and pumpkin bowling and worked together at craft
tables and the popular candy apple
bar.
The goal of the event was to highlight
the different core areas the arts, health
and life skills, sports, fitness and recreation, and science and technology that
we incorporate daily at the center, said

Christina Rudy, a Department of Defense civilian whose children attend the
afterschool program at NBVC, said she
enjoyed the evening.
We like going to these activities that
they do for the kids, she said. It keeps

them entertained, plus its a safe place
to go. The staff at the center are fun to
be around and are great with the kids.
My kids love going there.
Reservist Sabrina Contreras agreed.
The children had a field day, as they
were able to display their sense of creativity in all the activities that were presented to them, she said.
Tax season is right around the corner,

and the Self-Service Tax Assistance Program at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) needs volunteers.
This program helps active duty service
members, military dependents and retirees prepare their federal and state income
tax returns. Without volunteers, service
members and their families would have
to prepare their own taxes or pay $100
or more to a tax preparer.
Last year, volunteers at the NBVC
center helped complete more than 1,050
federal and state tax returns, yielding the
military community more than $1.3 million in refunds. It also saved these taxpayers thousands of dollars in tax preparation fees.
The Self-Service Tax Assistance Program is sponsored each year by the Region Legal Service Office, Detachment
Ventura. All volunteers will receive free
training to become a federal and California state tax preparer. Training is usually the first two weeks in January.
For more information or to sign up as
a volunteer, call Sal Gonzales at (805)
982-4548.
As the holiday season approaches, the

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Fire Prevention Safety Office reminds
everyone that except in Navy housing,
turkey fryers are prohibited on Navy
Region Southwest government facilities.
This in accordance with NRSWINST
11320.1E and by recommendation of
the National Fire Protection Association, the American Burn Institute and
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).
UL has determined that although
deep-frying turkeys for the holidays has
become popular over the years, the increasing number of fires related to turkey fryers is a risk that outweighs the
benefits of the appliance.
UL points to several common problems that lead to fires and burns. As a
result of these concerns and its own
testing, to date UL has not certified any

Command ombudsmen get tour of San Nicolas Island

NBVC Public Affairs
You dont have to live in Southern California long before you start hearing about
the Channel Islands and their natural
beauty. Catalina is a vacation destination,
Anacapa is great for kayaking. Five of the
islands are part of a national park.
Then theres San Nicolas Island (SNI),
one of three Channel Islands owned by
the U.S. Navy and one of two with highly restricted access due to ongoing Navy
operations.
Oct. 29, five command family liaisons
ombudsmen in Navy lingo took the
opportunity to visit SNI and learn more
about what the Navy does 65 miles offshore and how Sailors and civilians working there live.
SNI, part of Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), is an integral part of the Point
Mugu Sea Test Range, housing instrumentation antennas, radars and a missile impact site. Its remote nature makes it ideal
for testing, but it poses difficult logistical
challenges, too.
This is really a great opportunity for
us as liaisons, said Kyleen Santomauro,
representing Air Test and Evaluation
Squadron (VX) 30. So few people get a
chance to come out and learn about what
we do here.
In addition to learning about the logis-
Due to its remote nature, San Nicolas Island

is resupplied via barge and C-130 aircraft.
The tour caught the barge operation in full
swing. The pier at SNI is not in a protected
harbor there are none at SNI and
requires a specially-fitted barge for safe
operations. Sensitive to weather and sea
state, barge operations are often delayed,
added to logistical challenges of operating

group learned about the environmental
and cultural resources that island staff are
charged with preserving.
Natural Resources Manager Bill Hoyer
led the group through a tour of the islands
nursery, which is being used to start seed-
lings and cuttings from multiple plant

species native to the island. The plants will
be transferred and replanted around the
island as erosion protection.
The tour also included a walk down the
beach near the reverse osmosis plant,
where one of the visitors spotted something unexpected: a bleached bone lying
on the sand.
Hoyer spotted more bones strewn on
the beach.
That is, most likely, a sea lion vertebrae, Hoyer said. This is a natural beach,
not cleaned and raked like a tourist beach.
They live here, and they die here.
SNI has some of the largest breeding
populations of California sea lions and
elephant seals in the world, Hoyer said.
After admonishing the group to be as
quiet and calm as possible, he took them
close to a resting group of elephant
seals.
Bill was so sweet and taught us so many
great and unique things about the island,

Nurse Advice Line available

for traveling military families
The holidays are almost here, and that
often means travel for the military family.
If you or someone in your family has a
medical problem while youre away from
home, you can call the Nurse Advice Line
(NAL) with concerns and needs.
The NAL is the military health systems
new initiative to improve ready access to
safe, high-quality care. Calling the NAL
gives you access to the advice you need at
the right time. Call 1-800-TRICARE (8742273), Option 1, to talk to a registered
nurse who can answer your urgent-care
questions, give you health care advice, help
you find a doctor or schedule a next-day
appointment at a military hospital or
clinic.
If you or a member of your family gets
ill while you are traveling, calling the NAL
can help you figure out what steps to

take.
The nurse will ask about symptoms
and provide advice on whether you need
to seek care and when.
When you are traveling, the NAL
nurse will help you find a safe, highquality health care facility in the TRICARE network.
If you are a military hospital or clinic enrollee, the NAL will send a followup note to your primary care manger
and medical team back home so they
know how you are doing.
The NAL is available 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.

NAL while on the go, visit www.TRICARE.mil/NAL.
Security Office reminder: Base

access for FNs can take time
As the holiday season gets under
way, the Security Management Office
is issuing a reminder to all personnel
regarding foreign nationals (FNs)
aboard Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC).
Sponsors of FNs, including friends
and family of military personnel living
in base housing (designated as unofficial FN visitors), must fill out a
Foreign National Request Form and
fax or email it, along with a copy of
the FNs passport, to the Security
Management Office at least two business days before they want to come on
base.
After approval, sponsors may pick
up the orange FN badge from the Pass
& ID office. The badge must be worn
at all times while on the installation.
FNs staying in the Catalina Heights
military housing complex need not go
through this process unless they want
to come on base for any reason, including shopping at the commissary or
NEX or to use recreational facilities.
Cases involving base access for official military and civilian work-related reasons are usually handled via
the tenant commands foreign national security managers.
NBVC defines FNs as individuals 18

and older who are not U.S. citizens or,
regardless of citizenship, are representing a foreign government, corporation
or entity or an FN doing business with
a Department of Defense component
or contractor. This includes companies
incorporated in the United States but
under foreign ownership, control or
influence. Legal permanent residents
with lawful permanent resident cards
are not considered FNs.
Once on base, unofficial FNs must
be escorted at all times around the installation.
Around the holidays, FN-related issues mostly involve unofficial visits.
Approximately two dozen cases occur
each season where FNs try to gain access without proper authorization.
This is generally attributable to someone with base access trying to come
aboard with a friend or family member
who is an FN without prior authorization.
The visitor request form and more
information concerning the access program can be found online at cnic.navy.
mil/ventura under Visitors and base
access information on the right-hand
side of the page.
Military lifestyle can foster resiliency in many families
decisions independently.
Children in military families can have a
strong sense of belonging because of the
value of teamwork, camaraderie and community that is part of both the command
environment and the military community
in general. Our own counselors at the
FFSC have noticed that military children
are often proud of their parents service
to our country, that that they are more
open to differences of others and inclusive
of other children, and that they show maturity because they are focused and goaldirected. Another study shows that families with deployed parents may grow
closer together, and that children in these
families show more independence and
responsibility.
There is strong evidence that all of the
branches of the armed forces have shown
support and appreciation for family members of Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen. They have shown support by creating
programs such as the FFSC and the ombudsman program. There used to be a
saying that If the military wanted you to
have a family, they would have issued you
one, but it is clear that this attitude has
changed. Each branch has recognized that
family relationships need to be supported
and stable in order for the service member
to be mission ready.
While researching this article, I noticed
that most of the writing I found focused
on how many sacrifices military families
make and how hard it is for them. Many
of the families I see in my counseling practice at the FFSC are having difficulties
with issues such as deployment, PCS,
geobachelor arrangements, school changes, separation from family of origin, loss
of friends, PTSD and difficulty pursuing
a career. To be honest, this has, at times,
influenced my thoughts about how hard
military life is for families in general.
However, after interviewing other military spouses who are not coming for counseling, I found that they tended to have a
very positive view of their experience as
a military spouse and that they are not
particularly focused on how hard it is for
them. In fact, many of them really didnt
feel the need to be appreciated for their
role as a military spouse, which made me
feel even more appreciative of them! They

said things like, I knew what I was getting
into. While I only interviewed a small
number of other military spouses, I would
like to think that military families are generally thriving.
It would be a mistake to end this article
without acknowledging that some military
families are called on to make the ultimate
sacrifice by losing their family member
due to his or her service in the military. In
addition, there are other family members
who must learn to cope with very serious
injuries to their military members during
their time in the service. These sacrifices
are a major difference between military
families and most civilian families. This
article has been about appreciating the
resiliency of military families. However,
these sacrifices must be stated. It takes
strength to face these sacrifices, and that
strength comes from a foundation of resiliency.
If you have a chance to show appreciation for a particular military family, you
might make a point of noting how well
they are coping and even thriving under
difficult circumstances. This is the kind of
appreciation that helps to empower people
to deal with the hard parts of life.

Family
resiliency
The Lighthouse
Military families are often very resilient,

even though they face many challenges
that civilian families dont experience. In
my counseling practice at the Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC), I frequently
use the saying, What you focus on grows.
If we focus too long on how difficult the
deployments are, the frequent moves and
the school changes, we will start to feel
bad. On the other hand, if we focus on
the ways we are coping and even thriving,
then we will feel better. So, if we give a lot
of attention to the positive and a little attention to the negative, we tend to feel a
sense of having more control in our
lives.
What can be said about military family
resilience? For starters, there is the fact
that military marriages are just as likely
to work out as civilian marriages, even
though military marriages go through
stressful situations that civilian marriages
never see. A recent study on the military
divorce rate shows that service members
are more likely to be married than civilians
and that the divorce rate among military
couples and civilian couples is basically
the same, even though there are long separations and other demands on military
couples.
Another sign of resilience is how competent civilian spouses can be when the
service member deploys, taking over all
of the duties of both parents and making

Crews from Littoral Combat Ships train at NSWC PHD

By Robert Palomares
NSWC PHD
Seventeen crew members from Littoral

Combat Ships (LCS), Crews 204 and 206,
traveled from San Diego to the Underway
Replenishment (UNREP) test site on Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme
Division (NSWC PHD), to learn the ins
and outs of UNREP.
Led by Engineering Technician Scott
Perry, UNREP personnel provided specialized refueling training for the crews
Nov. 3-5.
Although a number of the crew came
off USS Coronado (LCS 4), many of them
will be assigned to pre-commissioned LCS
units.
Most of the Sailors that come here
have never experienced an actual UNREP
evolution, said UNREP Division Manager Bob Hilger. Our job is to give them
a thorough understanding of the procedures with hands-on learning from our
team of professionals before they experience an actual fueling-at-sea event.
The crews started with classroom training in standard operating procedures for
conducting UNREP maneuvers. They
then received hands-on refueling training,
with machinery specific to their ships.
The UNREP test site offers training in
a static and controlled environment where
there is no risk to personnel or cargo.
As the training progressed, the Sailors
became more comfortable with the hoses,

rigging and equipment.

This is the best training we can get,
said Chief Boatswains Mate Edward
Johnson, representing Littoral Combat
Ship Squadron One. Here at Port Hueneme we get real life scenarios, unlike
other training sites. This is one of the
Navys best-kept secrets.
In addition to the Navys UNREP train-
ing, these Sailors will also get training on

the so-called NATO replenishment, which
is transferring fuel to foreign ships, and
the ROBB, or quick release coupling rigging, Johnson said.
Freedom (LCS 1) had to do it recently, and all crew members going to an LCS
will undergo the training, he said. This
is the only place we can get it.
At the conclusion of the training session, Johnson will report the results to the
commodore of LCS Squadron One.
Johnson said UNREP is usually conducted by boatswains mates, but on an
LCS, everyone aboard will have to learn
to do different jobs.
Chief Logistics Specialist Alina Rodriguez agreed with that thinking.
This kind of training is most needed,
because on LCSs, every crew member will
have to be prepared for every job aboard
the ship during UNREP, even an LS (Logistics Specialist), Rodriguez said. We
run through the training so many times
that we are gaining the experience to be
comfortable doing it.
The Sailors are only training on fuel
replenishment, since the LCSs dont have
cargo capabilities.
We tailor our training to whatever any
platform needs, Perry said. Some training sites dont have that capability.
Civilian mariners were also on site to
learn about UNREP.
As the Navys only fully equipped and
operational UNREP test site, NSWC
PHD has provided replenishment engineering services to the surface fleet since
1963.
NSWC PHDs team of experts are the
fleets full service UNREP agents, maintaining crucial capabilities that allow the
U.S. fleet to remain at sea for as long as
necessary.

to honor veterans, all hands headed out.
Destination: the Pacific Ocean.
Most of the rainwater had been absorbed
by a very thirsty ground, but there were a few
streambed crossings that had shallow pools.
Undeterred, the volunteers pushed or carried
wheelchairs safely across to dry ground.
After the four-hour trek, the group, aided
by the California Highway Patrol, crossed
Pacific Coast Highway to Sycamore Canyon

After a barbecue lunch again prepared
by the Kiwanis Club wheelchairs with allterrain tires especially suited for the sand were
brought out so the hikers could be wheeled
down to the surf zone for a dip in the
ocean.

Mugu Oct. 31.
Chi Nguyen, an engineer with NAWCWDs Airborne Electronic Attack Integrated Product Teams, helped coordinate
the visit to NAWCWDs Archive Center

with manager Phillis Thrower. The visit
was designed to promote and encourage
student interest in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics. NAWCWD
engineers Yogesh Patel, Greg Speth and
John Ma assisted with the event.
The fourth- to eighth-grade students
took turns building and launching rockets
made from straws, construction paper and
tape. While one group worked on and
tested their rocket designs, a second group
toured the archive center and learned

about Point Mugu history.
Rich Burr pointed out many of the missiles that have been designed and tested
at the sea ranges of Point Mugu since the
mid-1940s. Burr is the director of NAWCWDs Integrated Systems Evaluation,

Sailors attend workshops on reintegrating after deployment

By MCC Lowell Whitman
NCG 1
Navy Expeditionary Combat

Command (NECC), along with
Naval Construction Group
(NCG) 1, conducted a set of reintegration training workshops at
Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme Nov. 46.
Open to service members and
their spouses, the one-day workshop was designed to help reintegrate service members back into
their homeport lives after returning from deployments overseas,
as well as to address common
and uncommon experiences and stressors across the
wide range of deployment environments where todays Sailors
operate.
Weve developed this reintegration training workshop to sort
of fill a gap, not with the expectation or implication that people
are struggling, but that most of
us even when were doing well
potentially have something in
our lives or with our families that
maybe we can tweak just a little
bit, so were in a better spot for
that next deployment, said Capt.
Lori Laraway, Warfighter Resilience program manager at
NECC.
The workshop covered reintegration challenges; physical, emotional, psychological and social

fitness; and spiritual tools available to aid in the process of

adapting back to home life.
The training also included an
hourlong play performed by the
American Records Theatre Company. The play, titled ReEntry,
was scripted from the real-life
experiences of deployed Sailors

and Marines. Designed to break
the ice with the audience, the play
encourages Sailors to share their
own deployment experiences during open discussions afterwards.
The course was facilitated by
locally available support personnel such as Fleet & Family Support staff, Families Overcoming
Under Stress (FOCUS) staff,
mental health professionals and
senior non-commissioned officers, with their intent being to
connect Seabees with people in
their homeport community who

are able to provide help for them
on a more personal level.
If a Seabee spends a day talking with someone from embedded
mental health or FOCUS, talking
with them at their table, theyre
probably much more comfortable
and (its) likely that if there is an
issue that needs to be addressed,
they will go see them, said Laraway. Theyre located where the
units are, and they know the missions that the battalions go on.
In the future, the training is
planned to be worked into the
operational schedule for Seabee
units.
The goal is to put this into the
plan for returning battalions
maybe two to three months after
they come back, said Lt. Cmdr.
Malcolm Brown, NCG 1s surgeon and reintegration program
coordinator.
NCG 1 prepares Pacific Fleet
naval construction forces to conduct expeditionary and deliberate

NMCB 3 volunteers help shuttle Warrior Games competitors

By MC1 Chris Fahey

Four Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 stepped up as

clutch volunteer shuttle drivers during the
2014 Warrior Games earlier this year in
Colorado Springs.
According to Megan Haydel, Navy
Wounded Warrior Safe Harbor adaptive
athletics staff member, the end of the fiscal
year prevented the local Navy Operations
Support Center (NOSC) from providing the
needed manpower. Help was sought from
NMCB 3.
They graciously provided four Seabees to
support us, said Haydel. Without their help,
we would have had a hard time pulling [this
years Warrior Games] off.

The volunteer Seabees clocked 835 miles
during around-the-clock shuttle service between Sept. 28 and Oct. 4, transporting 83
athletes and four service dogs to training
venues, competition sites, hotels and the airport. The Seabees punctuality, safe driving
and efficiency ensured competitors received
enough rest between events and that any special needs were met.
Seabees said they enjoyed the opportunity.

our nations heroes stare in the eyes of their
disabilities and say, You cant hold me back,

been taken away from these amazing people,

its impossible to take away their motivation,
their dedication to their service, and their

drive to blow past the next obstacle that
stands in their way pure astonishment.
Seabees took this inspiration to the stands,
serving as a four-person cheer force to help
reciprocate the emotional investment athletes
demonstrated during the games.
If you attended any team sport in the
evening, said Haydel, the Seabees were in
the stands, leading the charge, cheering on
the team. They were not just duty drivers,
they were full team supporters.
More than 200 wounded, ill, and injured
service members and veterans participated
in seven sports. Nearly 40 represented Team
Navy, bringing home 28 total medals, including 12 gold medals.

to make sure there werent any typographical errors that could delay the process.
Transpositions can be a problem, he
pointed out. But if you verify all the information and take a little bit more time
to make sure everything goes in correctly,
it speeds things up.
A Port Hueneme resident, McShea began working at the golf course in May of
2013, providing customer service and handling the golf carts.
I thought I should learn about the industry I was in, so I started playing golf

environment, real property asset management, real property stewardship,
competitive activities, communications,

safety and health, security, public relations and other honors received.
Some highlights from NBVCs submission included:
NBVC was the only Navy installation
supporting the Department of Health
and Human Services with children who
had crossed into the United States unaccompanied. Once they learned of this
mission, base personnel had only 10 days
to open a facility that could house the
children. In the 10 weeks the facility was
open, 1,555 children passed through,
and 160 VIPs toured it, including members of Congress and the Chief of Naval
Operations. There were no legal or runaway incidents during those 10 weeks.
NBVC is the Navys hub for unmanned aircraft operations, testing and
maintenance. It is the test site for the
MQ-8C Fire Scout, an unmanned helicopter, and it will soon be home to the
MQ-8B and MQ-4C Triton maintenance
detachments. Every year, it hosts Black
Dart, during which 1,250 interagency,
international and industry partners demonstrate 80 systems.
NBVC is the first and only Department of Defense installation operating

manned and unmanned systems in Class
D airspace. This allows more in-depth,
real-time testing of unmanned systems
operations.
NBVC Point Mugu has the busiest
approach control in the Navy, recording
96,450 flight operations, including air
traffic control service for Oxnard and
Camarillo.
A two-story simulator to train pilots
and aircrew on the new E-2D aircraft is
being constructed at NBVC Point Mugu,
an $11.5 million project.
Thousands of square feet of barracks were renovated at both Point
Mugu and San Nicolas Island. Total cost
of all the projects was nearly $40 million.
NBVCs conservation efforts, in conjunction with those at San Clemente
Island, contributed to the Island Night
Lizard being removed from the endangered species list.
NBVC has exceeded energy- and water-conservation goals put forth by the
Secretary of the Navy. It has reduced
energy consumption by 36.3 percent

since 2003 and has reduced water usage
by 35.7 percent from 2007. Wind turbines and a reverse osmosis plant on San
Nicolas Island are expected to result in
even more energy and water savings.
The NBVC Point Mugu galley received the Capt. Edward F. Ney Memorial Award for best ashore galley, small
mess category.
The base hosted the Armed Forces
Triathlon Championship, a Wounded
Warrior training camp, the Dallas Cowboys for a signing event when they arrived in Ventura County for training
camp and comedian Gabriel Iglesias for
the premiere of The Fluffy Movie.
Other special events on base included
Battle of Commands and Mugulau,
Winter Wonderland, Kids Day and a
Military Spouse Appreciation event.
A refurbished plant nursery on San
Nicolas Island has produced more than
5,000 native plants that are being used
for erosion control.
The base provided motorcycle training for more than 520 installation, tenant and other commands personnel.
Retirees call NBVCs third town hall a really good event
continued from 3
24
Also in the eight months since the last

town hall came several storms that caused
flooding and road closures at NBVC Point
Mugu; a security review that demanded
longer wait times for trucks trying to enter
NBVC Port Hueneme, prompting gate
changes; and the fatal crash of a contracted jet near NBVC Point Mugu thats currently under investigation by the National
Transportation Safety Board.
As he did in March, Vasquez told the
retirees that the base is poised for growth.
Up to 700 people will move to the base over
the next five to seven years as unmanned
aircraft programs expand. Already here are
three Seabee Reserve battalions; they will
train on a rotating basis for two weeks each
year, and when they do, 250 to 300 additional people will be using the facilities at
NBVC Port Hueneme.
In 2017, the base expects to get a fifth
E-2 squadron, and a Coast Guard contingent may be moving to the base as well.
Vasquez explained to the crowd why he
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer

of Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC),
stops by the Military Officers Association of
America (MOAA) table at the Retiree Town
Hall Saturday, Nov. 8, in Dukes at NBVC
Port Hueneme. With him is Bob Quinn,
past president of MOAAs Ventura County
chapter.
closed San Miguel Island, which attracts

about 200 people a year. It is actually owned
by the Navy and is under the jurisdiction
of NBVC but has been operated by the
National Park Service. When the long-forgotten fact came up that the island had
been used as a bombing range and that
there was no record of any cleanup having
taken place, he ordered the island closed.
This was not received very well, he said.
But as commanding officer, my responsibility is to make sure we were doing everything we could to ensure safety on the island.
A subsequent search turned up a 250pound practice bomb on the island.
So now were going out and cleaning
it, Vasquez said.
NBVC is working with local schools to
expand internships and mentoring opportunities.
Two-thirds of this base is civilians,
Vasquez explained. We are trying to grow
that workforce.
Vasquez also listed the improvements
recently made on base, including the renovation of the 19th Hole restaurant at the
Seabee Golf Course and a $40 million rehabilitation of barracks at NBVC Port
Hueneme and on San Nicolas Island.
Theyre nicer than my daughters college

dorm, he told the crowd.
Vasquez also announced that housing at
NBVC Port Hueneme and in Camarillos
Catalina Heights is at capacity. As we get
additional people, theyll need to go out in
town, he said.
At NBVC Point Mugu, the last of the
base-run housing will be turned over to Lincoln Military Housing in February.
At that point, NBVC will be out of the
family housing business, he said.
Vasquez then opened it up for questions.
The gamut ranged from the possibility of
rebuilding a fishing pier at Mugu (I dont
see that coming back) to the dates of the
next air show (Sept. 26 and 27, 2015).
After Vasquez presentation, retirees
milled around a display area organized by
the Fleet & Family Support Center, asking
questions of representatives from the Social
Security Administration, Veterans Affairs
and 17 other organizations.
This was a really good event, very informative, said Dorothy Albinger, whose husband, Guy, is retired from the Air Force.
