Question: Skipper, would it be possible to remind
everyone on base that bicyclists are required to obey
the same laws as motorists? I was walking from the
parking lot to the air terminal, in the crosswalk with
a walk signal, and was cut off by a cyclist who ran
the light.
Answer: Thank you for giving us all a reminder.
We take time to teach our children to ride their bikes
safely, but we sometimes forget to take that advice for
ourselves.
Cyclists: You are required to follow the same traf-
c laws as motor vehicles. This includes riding with
the ow of trafc, rather than against, stopping at
stop signs and trafc lights and yielding right of way
to pedestrians. Speed limits also apply, although its
harder to speed on a bike! Those found in violation of
these basic trafc rules can be cited.
Cyclists are also required to wear helmets at all
times while aboard Naval Base Ventura County.
Helmets really do save lives, and proper safety equip-
ment is as crucial.
Trafc safety should be taken seriously by every-
one. Whether youre riding, driving or biking down
the road, observing safety standards will help get you
there in one piece and your passengers, too. Lets
keep our base a safe place for everyone.
Do you have a question or suggestion? Share
it here by emailing lighthouse@navy.mil or online
using my COs Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.
mil/ventura/index.htm or on Facebook at www.face-
book.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. Your feedback is
critical to helping us make NBVC the best base in the
Navy.
Do bicyclists have to follow the same laws as motorists on base? w

More than 40 runners turned it on in
the name of energy conservation and
the Navys birthday as Morale, Welfare
and Receation hosted the 5K Energy
Awareness and Navy Birthday 5K Run
Thursday, Oct. 11, at the Beehive Gym,
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
An October 5K in the name of energy
awareness has become a base tradition,
but with this years event scheduled so
close to the Navys 237th birthday Oct.
13, it was decided to rename the run.
There were no birthday prizes, but as
he does every year, NBVC Energy Man-
ager TomSantoianni gave out gift bags to
the first three men and women crossing
the finish line.
The prize-winning men were Builder
2nd Class Chris Guzman of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 3, who finished
first with a time of 18:59; Electronics
Technician 1st Class Eric Youngstrom
with Air Operations at NBVC Point
Mugu, who finished second in 20:45; and
Electronics Technician 2nd Class Peter
Geier, also of Point Mugu Air Operations,
with a time of 21:07.
The prize-winning women were Belia
Cook of Naval Surface Warfare Center
Port Hueneme Division, who finished first
in 21:25; Norma Santiago, whose husband
is Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Santiago, the executive
officer of Naval Construction Training
Center and who finished in 22:37; and
Kelly Coughlan, whose husband is Lt.
Seth McGuire, the executive officer of
Underwater Construction Team 2 and
who finished in 25:59.
Race organizer Amanda Haskell point-
ed out that the weather for this years run
was much more pleasant than last year
when a heat wave hit and an energy
event was called shortly after the race
ended. Everyone went back to their of-
fices and turned off all non-essential elec-
trical devices until 8 p.m. to ease the load
on the states electrical grid and avoid roll-
ing blackouts.
That may have fit with the theme,she
said, but this year is a lot nicer.
Santoianni brought a table laden with
free mug holders, rulers, pens, sticky notes
and notebooks, all carrying energy-con-
servation tips.
Im hoping people will pick up some
of this stuff, read something new and
think, Oh yeah, this is a good way to save
energy. Ive never thought of that before,
he said.
The next 5Klunchtime run is the Turkey
Trot, set for Nov. 15 at NBVC Port Hue-
neme.

More than 400 pancakes, 30 dozen eggs
and 300 sausages were devoured over the

onstrations of training equipment.
Firefighters lit up the Mobile Aircraft

They also turned up the heat in a burn-
ing metal bucket so visitors could practice

Fourteen military personnel 11 of
themSailors stationed at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) became U.S. citi-
zens Thursday, Oct. 11, in a special natu-
ralization ceremony at NBVC Port
Huenemes Needham Theater.
This feels pretty great, a smiling Lo-
gistics Specialist 1st Class Fluellen Umali
of the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest,
Detachment Point Mugu, said moments
after the ceremony.
Hes one of us now, added his wife,
Joanna, who attended the hourlong cere-
mony with their two children, ages 8 and
12.
Until Thursday, Umali hadbeena citizen
of the Philippines. That day, he renounced
that citizenship and took the Oath of Al-
legiance to the United States, administered
by the Hon. Otis D. Wright II of the U.S.
District Court, Central District of Califor-
nia.
More than 7,000 people affiliated with
the U.S. military have become U.S. citizens
this year.
Last year, a total of 700,000 people across
the United States were naturalized, and
10,334 of them were affiliated with the
military.
Julie Dunn, an immigration service of-
ficer based out of the San Fernando Valley,
said the naturalization process can be ex-
pedited for members of the U.S. military.
In fact, she said, during times of war, the
process can require as little as one day of
U.S. residency. Normally, it requires five
years.
For some, the oath was a long time com-
ing.
Steelworker 3rd Class Sheldon Smith of
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3 started the naturalization pro-
cess three years ago, the same time he joined
the Navy. His appointments with U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services were
all set up, but he deployed to Afghanistan
just days before his first meeting.
I tried to reopen the case when I got
back, but because Id missed the appoint-
ment, it was a problem a big problem,
he said.
It didnt stop him from deploying to
Spain, and it was there that he was able to
reopen the case and start the process all
over again.
A citizen of Jamaica, Smith grew up in
New Jersey.
My dad pushed me to take advantage
of everything this country offered,he said.
Educationwise, everything just runwith
it, hed say.
Living in Jersey and Jamaica, Smiths
family couldnt attend, but Smith nowhas
the ceremony on video.
Im glad this is finally over, he said.
Its one of the biggest milestones in my
life.
Another new U.S. citizen who waited a
long time to call himself that was Jaime
Malagon, a 50-year-old sergeant in the
California Army National Guard.
As a citizen of Spain, Malagon joined
the Navy in 1984, eventually becoming a
Navy SEAL with security clearance. His
naturalization paperwork had been ap-
proved, andall that was left was the formal-
ity of taking the Oath of Allegiance. But
just before a judge was to administer it, he
deployed to Central America.
At that point, everyone, including me,
thought I was a U.S. citizen, he said.
He left the Navy in 1997 and joined the
Army two years later. He was assigned to
an anti-drug task force along the U.S. bor-
der with Mexico, a joint project with the
Drug Enforcement Administration and
Border Patrol, which conducted a back-
ground check. Thats when Malagon
learned he was still a citizen of Spain.
They still let me work, Malagon said.
They just toldme tomake sure I tookcare
of it.
But then came Iraq, and then came
Kosovo, and then, in 2008, came an injury,
followed by surgery a year later.
Today, Malagon is ready to leave the
Armed Forces, and hell do it as a U.S.
citizen.
Im looking forward to spending time
with my family, he said of his wife, Espe-
ranza, and his 13-year-old son, Jaime Jr.,
both of whom attended the ceremony.
The 14 new citizens heard a taped mes-
sage from President Barack Obama, who
told them that no dream is impossible,
and urged them to help write the next
great chapter in American history.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding of-
ficer of NBVC, also spoke to the new citi-
zens, pointing out that as members of the
military, they hadalready pledgedtodefend
the United States and her people.
Today, he said, you are her peo-
ple.
He said he felt privileged to be one of
the first to address them as citizens of the
United States.
It is an honor to call you shipmates,
he said. It is an even greater honor to call
you fellow citizens.
In addition to Umali, Smith and Malag-
on, the following military personnel be-
came U.S. citizens Thursday:
EOCN Jesus Cabralbujanda, NMCB
3, formerly a citizen of Mexico.
HM3 Norielle Dimasudlay, NMCB4,
formerly a citizen of the Philippines.
CECN Aldrin Sy, NMCB 4, formerly
a citizen of the Philippines.
EA2 Irae Faitala, NMCB 5, formerly
a foreign national of American Samoa.
AN George DeLeon Jr., Carrier Air-
borne Command and Control Squadron
(VAW) 113, formerly a citizen of the Phil-
ippines.
ADAN Wen Sun, VAW-116, formerly
a citizen of China.
EOCN Cyril Conanan, 31st Seabee
Readiness Group, formerly a citizen of
the Philippines.
AOAA April Mendoza, Navy Opera-
tional Support Center Port Hueneme,
formerly a citizen of the Philippines.
CS2 Rafael Pascual, NBVC, formerly
a citizen of the Philippines.
CM2 Marco Antonio Reyes, formerly
a citizen of Mexico.
BU2 Hirohito Fainza, formerly a citi-
zen of the Philippines.

The werewolf is on discount.
Morale, Welfare and Recreation has
dropped the price of admission to the
Haunted Maze a one-night event Fri-
day, Oct. 26, next to the Aquatics Center
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
The Scaredy Cat tour, a less-frightening
version held before dark from 4 to 6 p.m.
and geared more for the younger set, costs
$3.
Fright Night, from 7 to 10 p.m., costs
$5.
Prices were originally set for $5 and
$8.
If it rains, the event will move to Satur-
day, Oct. 27.
Aquatics Manager Gerry Legaspi said
the scenes are shaping up and everything
should be ready for the event, including a
Halloween windmill, Frankenstein and
two Little Red Riding Hoods.
Theres an innocent one and another
one, was all Legaspi would say.
Some of the costumed characters, in-
cluding not-so-funny clowns, will be on
stilts so they tower over visitors, Legaspi
said.
About 35 volunteers began work on the
sets Saturday, Oct. 13, including crews
from Naval Mobile Construction Battal-
ion 5, the Naval Construction Training
Center, Naval Branch Health Clinic and
members of the Seals swim team.
This should be a fun event, Legaspi
said. Were all looking forward to spend-
ing Halloween with families and their
kids.
Carnival games will be set up at the end
of the maze, and food will be available for
sale. For more information or to volunteer
the night of the event, call 982-4753.

We can learn a lot about partnership
from geese.
Teambuilding is an integral part of any
organization. This is especially true with-
in the U.S. Navy. Thus, in this article, Id
like to talk about the principle of partner-
ship.
Partnership isnt always easy to achieve.
Why is partnership so difficult?
John Maxwell, an expert on leadership,
wrote these salient words regarding part-
nership:
You can hoard what little you have and
receive no more. Or you can give what you
have, and you will be rewarded with abun-
dance. Your attitude makes the difference.
So if you partner with another person and
give generously, one way or another, youre
going to get back more than you gave.
A good leader will do things exceed-
ingly well. Agreat leader will build a team
and do things exceptionally well.
I just returned from training in Colum-
bia, S.C. I sawgeese daily. Geese can actu-
ally teach us all a lot about leadership.
Winging their way to a warmer location,
these birds often cover thousands of miles
before reaching their destination. Have
you ever thought about why they fly as
they do? It is really fascinating what has
been discovered about geeses flight pat-
tern as well as their in-flight instincts.
The geese in front rotate their leader-
ship. When the lead goose gets tired, it
changes places with another goose within
the V-formation.
By flying as they do, the members of
the flock create an upward air current for
one another. Each flap of the wings liter-
ally generates lift for the bird immedi-
ately following. One author states that
by flying in a V-formation, the whole
flock gets 71 percent greater flying range
than if each goose flew on its own.
The geese in the rear of the formation
are the ones who do the honking. Per-
haps, this frequent honking encourages
the geese in the front to keep flying.
Thats a good example of partnership.
Interestingly, two healthy geese will
leave the formation in order to escort a
wounded or sick goose to a safe loca-
tion.
Whether its rotating leadership from
the front, flapping, helping or simply
honking, the flock is in it together, which
enables them to accomplish what they set
out to do move to a warmer climate.
Thus, the practical application of the
partnership principle is relatively straight-
forward: If we work as a team, we will
be far more effective. This is the principle
of partnership.
We learn a lot from geese.
Geese can teach humans about partnership, teamwork

Vice Adm. David Dunaway, command-
er of the Naval Air Systems Command,
visited Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons
Division Point Mugu and China Lake Oct.
1-3 and held town hall meetings at both
sites.
Dunaway, who reported to his current
job about a month ago, said that while
NAVAIR is running well, there are chal-
lenges to face.
NAVAIR is a critical aspect of our
national security thats got to evolve fast-
er than the threat, Dunaway said. We
cant be content to sit where we are. We
are going to work forward-leaning in a
positive fashion.
He told the NAWCWDworkforce that
it has to get better every day, continue to
be a learning organization, be more effi-
cient, increase productivity and be out-
come-oriented.
Dunaway authorized the workforce to
smash the bureaucratic efforts that are
unproductive and encouraged them to
challenge the rules.
Dont let the rules stop you from get-
ting the effective outcomes to happen,he
said.
He also recognized that funding is not
a newchallenge, but said he doesnt expect
the workforce to change much.
Dont worry about the money,he said.
Worry about getting the most value out
of every dollar. Whats going to have to
happen is that you are going to have to
get much better at your jobs.
Dunaway shared his top three focus ar-
eas that he recently released in his Com-
manders Intent message: speed to fleet,
integration and interoperability, and af-
fordability.
One of the town hall attendees asked
about future funding and Dunaways plan
for sequestration.
We are told not to plan for sequestra-
tion, said Dunaway, who mentioned the
continuing resolution that is currently in
place. I do know that my funding is
pretty stable for the next six months.
To those worried about job cuts, Dun-
away acknowledged the current uncertain
times and said, If the work you are doing
is relevant, Ill defend you. Be relevant and
make yourself more relevant every day.
New commander tells
NAVAIR: Be relevant

Recruiting volunteers and making
sure they want to stay and that theyre
doing a good job is one of the main
priorities of the new director of the
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS) at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty.
Oscar Ramos, who took over in Sep-
tember from nine-year veteran Nadine
Gamble, said volunteer turnover is a real
challenge in a busy office that has only
two employees.
We just lost two more volunteers who
were highly trained, he said. We have
a constant turnover, which means we
need constant recruitment.
The NMCRS provides financial as-
sistance to active duty and retired mem-
bers of the Navy and Marine Corps and
their eligible family members.
So far this year, the Ventura County
office has handled more than 500 cases
and given out more than $250,000 in
emergency financial assistance, includ-
ing interest-free loans to help with basic
living expenses and transportation.
The NMCRS also runs a thrift shop
at Port Hueneme and leads Budget for
Baby workshops.
Each of those duties requires a pre-
volunteer interview and orientation, ad-
ditional training and a dedication to a
job that pays in the benefit of knowing
someone was helped that day.
Ramos enters a job filled with sur-
prises: Wholl walk through the doors
tomorrow, and what personal turmoil
will they be facing? He admits its a dif-
ferent life than the one he lived for 20
years with Personnel Support Detach-
ment.
That was a very secure environment,
he said. You knew what youd be doing
when you woke up every morning.
But the experience he learned there
will help him guide families in need.
I know how to use resources to help
Sailors, he said.
Hes also eager to work with retirees.
There are many widows and widow-
ers out there who are part of our pro-
spective clientele, he said. We need to
reach out to veteran associations, com-
munities and even senior centers to find
people who could be using our servic-
es.
Ramos currently lives in Port Huen-
eme with his son and is eagerly awaiting
the arrival of his wife and other children.
My children are proud of our military
culture, he said. Theyre happy Dads
been in the Navy.
Recruiting, retaining volunteers a challenge for NMCRS
Oscar Ramos is the new director of the
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society at Naval
Base Ventura County.
Prospective volunteers are invited
to a chili cookoff at the Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) at
Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 26.
Hot dogs will also be served, and
children are invited to come in their
Halloween costumes and enjoy Hal-
loween candy.
The NMCRS is located in the Wel-
come Center a fewdoors down from
the Fleet & Family Support Center.
Information: 982-4409.

When we think of Halloween, we
think of haunted houses, costumes,
candy, decorations, hay rides, pump-
kins, witches, ghosts, black cats, graves
and anything scary.
Trick-or-treating became popular in
the United States nearly a century ago.
Today, kids and even some adults
compete for the most candy and the
best costume. There are Halloween
events all over town, and every store
seems to be selling Halloween decora-
tions that you must have.
Halloween can be an expensive holi-
day for everyone. So how do we keep
our finances out of the graveyard? Here
are some tips from the Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society (NMCRS).
Keep in mind that most people wear
a Halloween costume only once because
by the next year it is either outgrown
or outdated. So buy costumes and
decorations from thrift stores, yard
sales or other military families who are
done with them. Ask your neighbor,
friends or even your boss.
A great way to save money this Hal-
loween is to check out the Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Societys Thrift Store,
located in Building 829 at Harris and
15th streets, Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Port Hueneme. Thrift store hours
are Monday and Wednesday from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. Buy only decorations
you are going to use this year after
all, there are only so many places to
put spiderwebs, scarecrows, gravestones
and the like. When you are done with
your costumes, consider donating them
to the thrift store for next years
crowd.
Be aware of candy prices, and shop
different stores for the best deals. The
NMCRS has a coupon box in the of-
fice, located in Building 1169 in the
Welcome Center at NBVC Port Huen-
eme. Office hours are Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., so come
check the coupon box for candy cou-
pons and other timely items.
Operation Gratitude provides a
candy buyback program through local
dentist offices. Information on Opera-
tion Gratitudes program is available
at http://www.halloweencandybuyback.
com/index.html. This is a great way to
get some money back for your candy
as well as support deployed troops.
Here are the top five tips for avoiding
scary finances this Halloween:
Set a Halloween budget.
Select just a few Halloween events
to attend.
Be aware of tricky candy prices. Use
coupons and shop at a few different
stores to make sure you are getting the
best price.
Donate candy to local buyback pro-
grams and support our troops!
Be creative with your costumes by
buying items from the NMCRS Thrift
Store or trading costumes with people
you know.
Follow these tips and avoid any Hal-
loween financial scares. Keep the cost
of decorations, costumes and candy
low, and keep your budget out of the
graveyard. Most importantly, have fun
and stay safe out there.
Dont let Halloween send your budget to the graveyard
Here are some tips to
cut down on the scary
costs of candy, costumes
and decorations and
remember to check out
the NMCRS Thrift Store
for bargains

Test Ship to wind and solar proj-
ects across the facility, the morning
briefs gave a broad view of the
many technologies being devel-
oped, tested and used at NBVC.
Natsuhara praisedthe advances,
thenaskedacritical question: How
do we integrate all these different
technologies andfindthe right bal-
ance?
The Navy has some unique
bases that are really very different
thanother services,he said, point-
ing to remote, isolated locations
like Diego Garcia in the Indian
Ocean, GuantanamoBay andSan
Nicolas Island. These are not
wartime bases. We have tobe more
efficient.
Several facilities around the
globe have the capacity togenerate
large amounts of renewable en-
ergy, Natsuhara said, but they
dont necessarily use it efficiently.
Without options for storing gener-
ated energy, much of it goes to
waste.
Storage is a game-changer,
said Chris Parry, NAVFAC SW
energy manager.
Whoever can develop afford-
able, effective storage for renewable
energy, thats the next Bill Gates,
agreed Capt. Cliff Maurer, com-
manding officer of NAVFAC
SW.
NBVC and NAVFAC EXWC
are preparing to test one storage
option at San Nicolas Island
(SNI). A$15.3 million project will
install seven100-kwwindturbines
on the island over the next year.
NAVFAC EXWC will fund the
installationof a zinc-bromide bat-
tery with up to one megawatt of
storage capacity, monitoring its
success andapplicability across the
fleet.
Larger wind turbines have been
used at other facilities, but accord-
ing to Parry, theres an economy
of scale that comes from using
more of the smaller, less complex
machines.
Maintenance is just simpler,
he said.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC
commanding officer, took Natsu-
hara out to SNI toget a first-hand
lookat the islandanddiscuss some
of its challenges and successes. In
addition to visiting the future site
of the wind turbine project, Nat-
suhara tookthe opportunity tosee
the islands reverse osmosis (RO)
facility, which provides potable
water for SNIs residents.
This RO plant is a powerful
weaponfor peace,saidHal Mead-
ows of NBVCs Public Works De-
partment. Youcanreproduce this
systemanywhere and make water
for the people. It was used as a
model for the system in Djibou-
ti.
Natsuhara asked about water
quality.
Its more pure than snow,
Meadows replied. Our water is
of a higher quality than most mu-
nicipal sources, so our Sailors can
be confident their water is safe and
healthful.
Finding innovative, cost-effec-
tive solutions to power and water
supply issues is key to operating
anenergy-efficient fleet, Natsuhara
said.
The Department of the Navy
is looked at as the Department of
Defense leader for energy pro-
grams, he added. We have a lot
of credibility because of the work
you do here.

Fourteen Sailors from the Ground
Electronics Maintenance Division at
Naval Base Ventura County, Point
Mugu, volunteered 1,200 man-hours
constructing new cages for birds at
the Ojai Raptor Center.
Volunteering in the community
isnt new to this crew, which has also
given time to help middle school chil-
dren and the homeless. They spend
most of their days maintaining air
travel control communications equip-
ment.
Chief Electronics Technician Ran-
dy Eddington was persuaded to con-
sider this effort by his wife, Taly, who
has been volunteering at the center
in Ojai for more than a year.
Electronics Technician 1st Class
Christopher Shahan saw this as a
unique opportunity and coordinated
the effort. Half a dozen Sailors at a
time worked on building the 10 cag-
es, each measuring 10-by-12-by-16
feet.
Over the four or five months that
they worked in Ojai, they got to learn
a lot about the resident raptors, es-
pecially Handsome, the turkey vul-
ture that they nicknamed Come At
Me Bro when he spread his wings
full width.
The Sailors are hoping that the
center names the cages the MK-1
Aviary Enclosure.
The Navy is no stranger to the rap-
tor center. Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty alerts the center when an injured
bird is found on base. Its part of the
Navys BASHprogram: Animal/Bird
Aircraft Strike Hazard.
The raptor center typically takes
in more than 500 raptors a year.
The raptor center, which is nor-
mally closed to the public, will have
a free open house Saturday, Nov. 10,
from noon to 4 p.m. It is located at
370 Baldwin Road in Ojai.

Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalions (NMCBs) 5 and 4
participated in Oxnard High Schools Sea-
bee Night football game in Oxnard Friday,
Sept. 28.
Being back on a high school field with
the hype and seeing them play just makes
me want to put on pads and get back out
there, said Steelworker 3rd Class Guil-
lory Bryant, a Charlie company Seabee
assigned to NMCB 5.
Bryant attended the game in uniform
and was one of about 60 Sailors who
helped answer questions from students
and families to give a better insight into
Seabee life and their experiences in the
military.
I feel like its important that they un-
derstand what were doing and that were
trying to help out the community and
make the United States a better place,
said Bryant.
Equipment Operator 1st Class Sean
Nelson of NMCB5 had the honor of flip-
ping the game coin at the beginning of the
football game.
I felt proud to represent the Navy Sea-
bees, my second life after growing up in
Oxnard, said Nelson.
Nelson graduated from Oxnard High
School. He has been in the military for 15

years and said he enjoyed the opportu-
nity to return to his school and be a part
of the football game.
The game was a rival match between
the Oxnard Yellowjackets and the Cou-
gars from Ventura High School. The
Cougars defeated the Yellowjackets 26-
8.
NMCB 5 and NMCB 4 brought Civil
Engineering Support Equipment (CESE),
including a Mine Resistant Ambush-Pro-
tected All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV), for
families to see and photograph. NMCB
4s Convoy Security Element (CSE) was
on site to answer questions. Children were
also able to try on some Seabee combat
gear.
Throughout the game, Oxnard High
School showed its gratitude for the Sea-
bees by announcing each battalions re-
cent and past achievements. Members of
the schools Junior ROTC program greet-
ed Seabees as they arrived and escorted
them to a reserved seating section.
It truly is rewarding to see public sup-
port like this, and to see howthe childrens
eyes light up when you answer their ques-
tions, said Construction Mechanic 1st
Class Chris Schulze of NMCB 4.
He thanked Oxnard High School for
letting us come out and represent the
Seabees and enjoy a football game.
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class
Daniel Wyman of NMCB 4 worked with
Dale Weaver, Oxnard High Schools Ju-
nior ROTC instructor, in planning and
organizing the event.

Oct. 13 was the Navys 237th
birthday. In honor of that
event, the Navy celebrated with
bell ringings, birthday balls and
historical messages. Belowis an
article from the Naval History
and Heritage Command re-
garding the founding of the
Fleet. Interested in learning
more? Visit www.history.navy.
mil.
The Continental Congress
voted Oct. 13, 1775, to fit out
two sailing vessels and to send
them out on a cruise of three
months to intercept transports
carrying munitions and stores
to the British army in Ameri-
ca.
This was the original legisla-
tion out of which the Conti-
nental Navy grew and as such
constitutes the birth certificate
of the Navy.
To understand the signifi-
cance of the decision to send
two armed vessels to sea under
the authority of the Continen-
tal Congress, we need to review
the strategic situation and to
consider the political struggle
that lay behind it.
Americans first took up arms
in the spring of 1775, not to
sever their relationship with the
king, but to defend their rights
within the British Empire. By
the autumn, the British North
American colonies fromMaine
to Georgia were in open rebel-
lion. Royal governments had
been thrust out of many colo-
nial capitals and revolutionary
governments put in their plac-
es. The Continental Congress
had assumed some of the re-
sponsibilities of a central gov-
ernment for the colonies, cre-
ated a Continental Army,
issued paper money for the sup-
port of the troops, and formed
a committee to negotiate with
foreign countries. Continental
forces captured Fort Ticond-
eroga on Lake Champlain and
launched an invasion of Can-
ada.
In October 1775, the British
held superiority at sea, from
which they threatened to stop
up the colonies trade and to
wreak destruction on seaside
settlements. In response, a few
of the states had commissioned
small fleets of their own for
defense of local waters.
For months, John Adams
and a fewothers had been agi-
tating in Congress for the es-
tablishment of an American
naval fleet. They argued that a
fleet would defend the seacoast
towns, protect vital trade, re-
taliate against British raiders,
and make it possible to seek out
among neutral nations of the
world the arms and stores that
would make resistance possi-
ble.
Still, the establishment of a
navy seemed too bold a move
for some in Congress. Most of
the delegates did not consider
the break with England as final
and feared that a navy implied
sovereignty and independence.
Others thought a navy a hasty
and foolish challenge to the
mightiest fleet the world had
seen.
Then, Oct. 3, 1775, Rhode
Islands delegates laid before
Congress a resolution for the
building and equipping of an
American fleet. The proposal
was vague and funding unsure,
drawing fire from all sides.
Two days later, the tide
turned.
Congress received intelli-
gence of two English brigs,
unarmed and without convoy,
laden with munitions, leaving
England bound for Quebec. A
plan was developed to equip
two armed vessels to intercept
any ships bearing supplies to
the British army. Congress let
this plan lie on the table until
Oct. 13, when a letter from
Gen. George Washington re-
ported that Washington had
taken under his command, at
Continental expense, three
schooners to cruise off Mas-
sachusetts to intercept enemy
supply ships. Since they already
had armed vessels cruising in
their name, it was not such a
big step to approve two more
that day.
Within a fewdays, Congress
established a Naval Committee
charged with equipping a fleet.
Over the course of the War of
Independence, the Continental
Navy sent to sea more than 50
armed vessels of various types,
beginning the long tradition
still carried forth by the United
States Navy today.

EO3 Darrell Haas rings the bell in front of Point Mugus Building 1,
headquarters for Naval Base Ventura County, during a Friday, Oct.
12, ceremony commemorating the founding of the U.S. Navy 237
years ago. Following Navy tradition, the bell was rung nine times.
Eight tolls symbolize the hour and half-hour marks on a traditional
four-hour watch, the ninth symbolizes the start of a new watch, or,
in this case, a new year. Navy ships and installations all over the
world held similar ceremonies Friday; the Navys actual birthday
was Saturday, Oct. 13.

Top Hook Award.

VAW-116
The Sun Kings of Car-
rier Airborne Early Warn-
ing Squadron (VAW) 116
earned the coveted West
Coast E-2C Top Hook
Squadron of the Year
Award at the 43rd annual
Hawkeye Ball Sept. 23.
The event recognizes the
successes of the past year
for squadrons that conduct
flight operations in the
Navys E-2C Hawkeye air-
craft.
Presented by Capt. Mat-
thew Danehy, Commander
Airborne Command Con-
trol and Logistics Wing
(COMACCLOGWING),
the award recognizes VAW-
116 for its aircraft landing
performance while aboard
USS Abraham Lincoln
(CVN 72) during Compos-
ite Training Unit Exercise
(COMPTUEX) in October
2011 and deployment in
support of Operation En-
during Freedom from De-
cember 2011 to August
2012.
Each time a pilot lands
on the carrier, the pass is
evaluated and graded on a
4.0 scale. The average grade
of all the landings for each
pilot in each squadron de-
termines the overall squad-
ron landing grade point
average (GPA) and board-
ing rate. The squadron with
the best GPAearns the title
of Top Hook.
VAW-116 achieved a 3.45
landing average and a 97.1
percent boarding rate, the
best of the squadrons.
Additionally, several in-
dividuals from VAW-116
were recognized at the ball.
Ensign Jayson Belmes was
selected as Hawkeye Main-
tenance Officer of the Year
for his accomplishments
and leadership as Mainte-
nance Material Control Of-
ficer (MMCO).
While I am honored to
receive this award, I have to
give credit to the Sun King
maintenance team, said
Belmes. The success this
squadron has exhibited is
not only a result of my ef-
forts, but the absolutely
impressive achievements
the members of this squad-
ron continue to make from
day to day.
Receiving honorable
mentions at the event were
Lt. Chad Van Keulen for
his nomination as Hawkeye
Pilot of the Year and Lt.
Toby Rollenhagen for his
nomination as Hawkeye
Naval Flight Officer of the
Year.

Youngsters in the after-school program
at the Naval Base Ventura County, Point
Mugu, Youth Center recently harvested 6
dozen ears of corn from the plants they
had been nurturing for several weeks.
But some of them were in for a surprise
when they pulled back the husks.
The corn was red.
Program lead Stacey Tamai had given
youngsters in the summer camp at Point
Mugu some Ruby Queen Hybrid Sweet
Corn to plant. When the summer was over,
the project was turned over to the after-
school kids, some of whom didnt know
the corn would be red.
The color was beautiful and it really
was a sweet corn, Tamai said. We will
definitely plant this variety again next
year. It was easy to grow, and it was deli-
cious!
Tamai has been teaching agriculture to
Point Mugu youngsters for seven years as
a joint project with the 4-H Club. Using
gardening bins that were donated a few
years ago, children have planted potatoes,
onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli and even
kale. After planting the seeds or seedlings,
they carefully water them, harvest the veg-
etables when theyre ready, then cook them
up.
I love introducing children to new va-
rieties of foods, Tamai said.
Red corn?
A-maize-ing!

CSFE Public Affairs
The Center for Seabees and
Facilities Engineering (CSFE),
located at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme, an-
nounces the release of the
newly revised Seabee Combat
Handbook, Volumes 1 and 2.
The handbooks, NAVED-
TRA 14234A and 14235A, are
available through the Nonresi-
dent Training Courses (NRTC)
website at https://www.courses.
netc.navy.mil/.
They had not been updated
since 1993.
These volumes have been
brought up to date with the lat-
est information on the Seabee
way of military life, said Chief
Builder (SCW) Jason Verneris,
project manager with the NAV-
FAC Training Support Agency,
CSFE. They cover the large
breadth in technological, pro-
cedural and policy changes that
a Seabee needs to know in their
daily working environment.
Command Master Chief Co-
rey Heinrich of the 31st Seabee
Readiness Group welcomed
what he called a foundational
reference into the electronic
age.
The graphics and interac-
tion will appeal to all types of
learners, enhancing our Sailors
ability to comprehend these
life-saving skills, he said.
NRTC self-study courses are
available to active duty and
Reserve (retirement points)
Seabees and are designed to
help them improve their mili-
tary and tactical knowledge in
preparation for the Navywide
advancement rating exam. They
also help Seabees who are seek-
ing warfare qualification in the
Seabee Combat Warfare Per-
sonnel Qualification Standards
(PQS) programs.
They are easily accessed and
available for printing and in
PDF download. They also ref-
erence useful information that
can be found in other publica-
tions.
Each of the 19 chapters has
a trainee feedback form that
can be submitted to CSFE via
mail, fax or email.
Each volume has an end-of-
chapter assignment which is
submitted online, and a down-
loadable completion letter is
available after all course as-
signments are completed.
I am pleased that the Sea-
bee Combat Handbook, Vol-
umes 1 and 2, have been up-
dated with outstanding
information on techniques and
all the great contributions Sea-
bees have made since 1942,
said Equipment Operator 2nd
Class Mark Chase of Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion
3.
Course content covers the
laws of armed conflict, com-
munications, weapons, first
aid, convoy and patrol, defense
tactics, and much more.
No doubt this publication
will directly increase the com-
bat readiness of the Naval
Construction Force, Heinrich
said.
2 updated volumes of Seabee Combat Handbook available
Last revised in
1993, theyre now
available online
These are some of the graphics found in the newly updated handbook.

Did you know that nine out of 10
healthy people who get a flu shot dont
get the flu?
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), its true.
And because it takes two weeks for a flu
shots immunity to build completely, now
is the best time to get vaccinated for flu
season.
TRICARE will cover flu shots or flu
mists at no cost to military families. Just
make sure to receive the vaccination from
your local military clinic, a TRICARE
networkprovider, or a TRICAREnetwork
pharmacy. If you go to a pharmacy, make
sure the actual pharmacist gives you the
flu shot or mist to avoid out-of-pocket
costs.
If you choose to get your shot at the
doctors office, just be aware that some
physicians may charge a small co-pay for
the office visit. Additionally, its a good
idea to call your local military clinic first
to find out when flu shots are available.
The CDC recommends everyone 6
months and older get vaccinated against
the flu. Making the shot experience
smooth for your children can be a chal-
lenge. Perhaps if they see mom or dad
doing it too, they may go more willingly.
Here are some tips:
Go for your flu shot when you take
your kids for theirs.
Ask if the clinic or pharmacy has flu
mist available as an alternative to the shot.
Just check with your childs healthcare
provider first to see if its a good fit.
Offer to get your shot first. It will help
to relax your kids.
If fun or colorful bandages are avail-
able, ask to wear one alongside your chil-
dren.
Finish the flu shot appointment with
a treat, such as a trip to the park or a
healthy fruit smoothie.
Keeping active, getting enough sleep and
eating healthy foods can also help you
stand strong against the flu.
For more information on flu prevention
tips, visit www.triwest.com/flu.
To locate a TRICARE-covered phar-
macy that offers flu vaccinations, visit the
Express Scripts website at www.express-
scripts.com or call 1-877-363-1303.

NAVFAC EXWC Public Affairs
Engineers at the Naval Facilities
Engineering and Expeditionary
Warfare Center (NAVFAC
EXWC) are trying out a new wa-
ter irrigationsystemat Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
The system, which was tested
for the first time Sept. 27, is in-
tended for use at Department of
Defense (DoD) installations
worldwide.
The Smart Water conserva-
tion systemproject is demonstrat-
ing and validating a new technol-
ogy that makes more efficient use
of potable water supplies and re-
duces the demand for treated wa-
ter used for landscape irrigation.
It will help military commands
comply with Executive Order
13423, which called for agencies
to reduce water consumption
starting in Fiscal Year 2008.
The current water processes
used to irrigate the surrounding
landscape at many DoDfacilities
are highly inefficient, and large
quantities of potable water are lost
to evaporation, wind and overwa-
tering,said Capt. Brant D. Pick-
rell, the commanding officer of
NAVFACEXWC. Asmart water
conservation system could sig-
nificantly reduce DoD potable
water costs and demand, poten-
tially saving millions of gallons of
water per year.
The DoD operates facilities in
the Southwest desert with water
supplies that fail to meet the cur-
rent and projected demand. Spe-
cific water issues include pump
rates exceeding aquifer recharge
and water rights disputes. How-
ever, irrigating landscapes is large-
ly done through trial and error,
resulting in overwatering and un-
healthy turf and plants.
The increasing costs of produc-
tion per unit volume, quality and
habitat degradation issues have
significantly impacted military
installations andoperations. These
problems are likely to intensify
with the changing global cli-
mate.
Currently, huge volumes of po-
table water are used to irrigate
large turf areas, including athletic
fields, parade grounds, housing
areas and other landscaping es-
sential for recreational andmorale
purposes.
Potable water consumption for
irrigated landscape surrounding
DoD buildings can exceed the in-
ternal water consumption of the
building by a factor of two to five
times. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency estimates that
more than 50 percent of this land-
scape water is thenlost toevapora-
tion, wind and overwatering.
Existing irrigation systems can
be retrofittedwithsmart water con-
servation systems that combine
proventechnologies suchas captur-
ing rooftop rainwater with newer,
less developed concepts such as
HVAC(heating, ventilationandair
conditioning) condensate harvest-
ing and weather tracking control-
lers. Such combinations can pro-
vide an optimized, highly efficient
system for irrigation of landscape
surrounding DoD buildings.
The project will measure overall
success by a reduction in potable
water consumptionusedfor irriga-
tion, the reductioninpotable water
costs and the payback period re-
sulting fromsmart water conserva-
tion system capital costs.

Workers assemble components for a water storage tank, part of a
water-conservation system that incorporates smart weather tracking
controllers and site-specific sensor inputs along with more tried-and-
true methods, such as rainwater capture.

Lighthouse
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class James
Miller of the Naval Construction Training
Center was ready to dive into foreign ter-
ritory.
His plate was covered with German
bratwurst, Italian bruschetta, Jamaican
curry and Chinese hot and sour soup.
Which was he looking forward to
most?
Miller looked down at the plate, smiled,
then looked back up.
All of it, he said.
For the 19th year, Multicultural Day
was giving Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) a taste of international cuisine.
The event, held Tuesday, Oct. 2, outside
the Seabee Chapel at NBVC Port Huen-
eme, featured more than a dozen food
booths, each catering to a different cuisine
or special interest. For $6, visitors could
buy a passport and get a sample from
each booth and more than 300 people
did.
Booths were judged not only on the
food, but also on decorations and the cul-
tural information provided.
Coming in first this year was the Navy
Lodge, which served Shrimp Lumpia,
shrimp wrapped in a pastry and deep-
fried.
Navy Lodge General Manager Carla
Vicens said a crew of four had started
wrapping the shrimp at 5 a.m., preparing
642 lumpia in seven hours. They deep-fried
the delicacies on site.
This is good food, she said.
Taking second place was the Asian Pa-
cific American Committee (APAC), which
made Gyoza, Japanese dumplings. The
APAC booth was filled with Japanese
items, and Marlene Bradshaw, a mechan-
ical engineer with Naval Facilities South-
west Public Works, stood by in a kimo-
no.
Third place went to the Naval Branch
Health Clinic of Port Hueneme, which
honored Hawaii with a pork sandwich on
Hawaiian bread.
Chief Yeoman Lillian Patterson said
the NBVC Chief Petty Officers Associa-
tion, which organized this years event,
wanted to make sure there was enough
variety.
From Louisiana jambalaya served
in a booth adorned with an alligator head
to Mexican sauted cactus to the Greek
spinach and pastry delicacy known as
Spanokopita, there seemed to be plenty
of that.
There was even variety within individ-
ual booths. The African-American Focus
Group of Naval Surface Warfare Center
Port Hueneme Division served two types
of cornbread: a sweet cornbread made
with corn, honey, butter and vanilla, and
a firebread, made with heavy cream, but-
ter, jalapeno peppers and cheese.
The NCTC booth featured German
bratwurst with sauerkraut on the side.
Equipment Operator 2nd Class Ryan
Newman said it didnt take the NCTC
long to decide what to serve.
Its easy, he said, and it tastes deli-
cious.
19th Annual Multicultural Day brings international flavor to NBVC
With Southern cuisine on the menu specifically jambalaya and chicken and smoked sausage
gumbo the crew at the Chiefs Mess booth had to reassure several passport-holders that the
alligator head was for decoration only.
Jeanette Astora-Romero, a program analyst with Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division, adds
Spanokopita spinach and cheese layered in phyllo to her plate. Greece was the theme for this booth by Fleet
Readiness Center Southwest, Point Mugu Detachment, staffed by ATC Patrick Robinson and AB2 Ada Jurado.
Gyoza, a Japanese dumpling, was the featured
dish at the Asian Pacific American Committee
booth, which took second place at the 19th
Annual Multicultural Day at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme. Here, EA2 Nicholas
Duong of the 31st Seabee Readiness Group
serves up the delicacy.

A $6 passport entitled those who attended Multicultural Day a sample
from each of the food booths and there were more than a dozen. Here,
BU1 Matt Gage crosses the German-themed Naval Construction Training
Center booth, which served bratwurst and sauerkraut, off the passport
belonging to Construction Mechanic Construction Apprentice Krista
Gebhardt.
CS3 Mark Hargis serves up a bowl of Chinese
hot and sour soup, the meal prepared by the Port
Hueneme Galley for Multicultural Day.
Members of the First Class Petty Officers Association cooked spaghetti
and prepared bruschetta for their Italian-themed booth. Here, CS1 Johnnie
Perry serves up CS2 Rafael Pascual, who works in the galleys.
Spending seven hours preparing 642 Shrimp Lumpia for Multicultural Day paid off for the Navy Lodge
crew, which walked away with first place. Amy Pechache was one of the workers who got up at 5 a.m.
to help wrap the shrimp before frying them at the event.

The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Domestic abuse occurs not only in mil-
itary communities, but in all communities
across the country and around the
world.
Domestic abuse occurs no matter ones
gender, language, sexual preference, so-
cioeconomic status, race or religion. A
victim can be male or female, just as an
offender can be male or female.
In the military, a victim or an offender
can be newly enlisted or an officer. Do-
mestic abuse can occur with couples who
are just dating; it can occur with a couple
married 50 years.
As domestic abuse victim advocates, a
large part of our job is responding to re-
ports of abuse or requests for assistance
frompeople in abusive relationships. How-
ever, another large part of our job and
one that we put a lot of effort into is
prevention.
In an ideal world, we could eradicate
domestic abuse, but we dont have any such
grandiose misconceptions. Rather, we
merely try to take as many steps as we can
to reduce instances of domestic abuse in
our community. We get the word out about
reporting options, resources and ways to
recognize if you are in an abusive relation-
ship. We do this by giving briefs to service
members, speaking with spouses, educat-
ing commands and ombudsmen on how
to spot warning signs in the families they
serve and informing them of available re-
sources, and working with community
agencies that respond to domestic abuse.
As President Barack Obama stated in
his 2012 Presidential Proclamation: All
Americans can play a role in ending do-
mestic violence. Each of us can promote
healthy relationships, speak out stand
with survivors we know, and change at-
titudes that perpetuate the cycle of abuse.
We must also ensure that survivors of do-
mestic violence know they are not alone,
and that there are resources available to
them.
I agree that one of the most crucial tools
anyone can provide a victim of domestic
abuse is support emotional support,
someone to listen, someone to understand,
someone who will not judge, someone who
will not tell them what to do but rather
support the decisions they make.
As advocates, we understand the com-
plexity of abusive relationships. We do not
tell victims to leave, nor do we ask victims
to leave. We provide victims with educa-
tion, promote safety, provide resources
and assist them in the choices they make
regarding their relationship. We also un-
derstand that couples can get past the
abuse, but rarely without assistance. With
counseling, they can turn a relationship
that is unhealthy into one that is healthy.
The Fleet & Family Support Center of-
fers individual and couples counseling,
and it has couples workshops that focus
on improving your connection, improving
your communication and promoting ef-
fective and healthy problem-solving.
The FFSC also has victim advocates to
assist with safety planning, protective or-
ders, shelter, questions regarding divorce
or child custody and general needs.
If you or someone you know is in an
abusive relationship and you want to speak
confidentially with an advocate, please call
Laura Hanson at 805-982-4117 or Rosie
Barnes at 805-982-3788.
For more information on any of the FFSC
workshops or counseling services, call 805-

explained Engineer Jeremy Webb as he
helped 4-year-old Landon Baker aim the
fire extinguisher hose at the flames. Land-
on is the grandson of Curtis Baker, a vol-
unteer with the Red Cross office at
NBVC.
About 200 people stopped by Point
Mugus Station 72 that morning.
This is really cool, said Builder Con-
structionman Rod Hampton of the 31st
Seabee Readiness Group. Im glad we
could bring the kids and let them experi-
ence this.
He and his wife, Patricia, brought 2-
year-old Riley and 3-month-old Conner
to the event.
The theme of this years National Fire
Prevention Week is Have two ways
out.
Many people dont realize that they
are at greater danger from a fire at home
than anywhere else,said NBVCFire Pre-
vention Chief Marcela Martinez. Fortu-
nately, there are may things residents can
do to turn that around and make their
homes fire safe.

the attention
at open house
CONTINUED FROM 3
Here are some tips from the National
Fire Protection Association on surviving
a house fire:
Plan an escape. Draw a floorplan of
your home and show everyone two ways
out of each room.
Agree on a meeting place. Figure out
where everyone will gather after theyve
escaped.
Be prepared. Make sure everyone in
your home including children can
unlock and open all doors and windows,
and make sure that if your windows have
security bars theyre equipped with quick-
release devices that everyone knows how
to use.
Practice. Hold home fire drills, and
make them realistic by pretending some
escape routes are blocked by smoke or
fire.
Check your smoke alarms. Test them
every month, replace the batteries every
year, and replace the entire alarm every
10 years.
Have 2 ways out, firefighters tell families
Two firefighters from
Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) were
recently named Fire-
fighter of the Year by
local community orga-
nizations.
The Kiwanis Club of
Ventura gave its award
to Capt. Michael Bond,
a firefighter and emer-
gency medical techni-
cian at NBVC since
2009. The Carefree
Living Association of
Hueneme Bay, a senior
living complex just
outside the gates of
NBVC Port Hueneme,
gave its award to Engi-
neer Michael Lane. A
firefighter and emer-
gency medical techni-
cian at NBVC since
2007, he was assigned
to Port Hueneme Fire
Station 73 in 2011 and
helped fight a structure
fire in Hueneme Bay
shortly after his move.
Both firefighters at-
tended local high
schools. Bond gradu-
ated from Santa Paula
High School and the
Oxnard College Re-
gional Fire Academy.
Lane graduated from
Thousand Oaks High
School, joined the Air
Force and attended ba-
sic fire school at Good-
fellow Air Force Base
in Texas.
At NBVC, Bond is
the program manager
for the Mobile Aircraft
Firefighter Trainer and
the departments driv-
er/operator programs.
During a recent pro-
gram compliance as-
sessment, his programs
were described as best
seen to date.
Fire Chief John Ad-
kins described Bond as
our go-to captain.
When an issue needs
to be taken care of
quickly, Mike is the
guy that gets it done,
he said.
Lane was also praised
for his hard work, lead-
ership skills and volun-
teerism. But it was his
skills shown in the
Hueneme Bay fire that
the Carefree Living As-
sociation emphasized
and that Adkins
stressed.
There is no doubt
that Engineer Lanes
quick actions and piv-
otal leadership played
a key role in saving the
adjacent properties,
Adkins told the asso-
ciation.
Hueneme Bay has
761 homes and was
built in 1964.

Laura Hanson and Rosie Barnes, domes-
tic abuse victim advocates for the Fleet &
Family Support Center, visited those com-
mands earlier this month, carrying empty
banners theycalledthemawareness can-
vases and purple paint so Sailors could
emblazon their handprints onto the white
canvas and sign it.
This is an important cause, said Senior
EnlistedLeader LennyKoelbel as hewatched
more than 50 of his divers sign the banner
readingWe Are One Voice Against Domes-
tic Violence.
Im hoping this will bring an awareness
that will cause intervention when people see
it,Koelbel added.
Hanson said the commands involvement
reachedanewheight this year, withthe ban-
ner idea being well-received.
We take prevention so seriously because
the impact of domestic abuse onsomeone is
sosevere,she explained. Apart frombruis-
es, cuts, scrapes or brokenbones, there are so
many invisible wounds that cannot be
seen.
She saidmanyvictims suffer fromanxiety,
depression, lowself-esteem, social withdraw-
al, hyper-vigilance, nightmares and physical
ailments. Victims maybe unable toworkor
care for children, or they may turn to sub-
stance abuse to numb the pain,she said.
Domestic violence canalsocarry through
to future generations, she noted.
Children witnessing violence between
parents or caretakers is the strongest riskfac-
tor of transmittingviolent behavior fromone
generationtothe next,she said. Boys who
witness violence are twice as likelytobecome
abusive infuture relationships, andgirls who
witness violence are more likelytofindthem-
selves inanabusive relationshipinthe future.
Therefore, by working to prevent abuse in
this generation, we are reducing abuse inthe
future generation.

Ninety-eight wooden ribbons each
representing a domestic violence incident
reported at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) in 2010 are on display through
October on the front lawn at the Fleet &
Family Support Center, NBVCPort Hue-
neme.
The ribbons were made by Seabees
from Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion (NMCB) 3, which is currently
homeported at Port Hueneme.
We were ecstatic that they asked us to
do this, said Chief Steelworker Mark
Pembleton, homeport liaison for NMCB
3. FFSC is always there for us, so its
good that we were able to do something
for them.
Laura Hanson, a domestic abuse victim
advocate with FFSC, said domestic vio-
lence remains a huge problem, both in
the military and in society at large.
According to the Department of De-
fense fiscal year report in 2010, there were
15,785 reported cases of domestic abuse
51 every day,Hanson said. This only
includes married couples and only in-
cludes those reported to the Family Ad-
vocacy Program, so it is not an accurate
reflection of the actual number of cas-
es.

UCT 2
Seabees fromUnderwater Construction
Team (UCT) 2, based at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme, spent two
months this summer inspecting, stabilizing
and repairing cable off the coast of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Construction Dive Detachment (CDD)
Charlie spent much of June and July re-
pairing winter damage at Pacific Missile
Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands,
and preparing the range for this years Rim
of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise. Held
in August, RIMPAC is the largest inter-
national maritime exercise in the world,
involving 22 nations, 42 ships, six subma-
rines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000
personnel.
PMRF is the only range in the world
where submarines, surface ships, aircraft
and space vehicles can operate and be
tracked simultaneously. There are more
than 1,100 square miles of instrumented
underwater range and more than 42,000
square miles of controlled airspace.
Seabee divers combine the best of two
disciplines, relying on their construction
capabilities as Seabees and their compe-
tence as divers to accomplish missions that
no other unit in the Navy is capable of
performing.
For this task, UCT-2 divers worked in
depths of 30 to 120 feet of seawater off a
Lighter Amphibious Resupply Craft
(LARC). They installed 3 tons of cast iron
pipe designed to fit around the cables and
protect them from the harsh sea state.
They also dove to depths of 110 feet in
the open ocean to perform maintenance
on 10 practice mines in a training mine
field.
In addition, two members of CDD
Charlie, Builder 1st Class (SCW/DV)
Donny Wedekind and Construction Me-
chanic 2nd Class (SCW) Ryan OToole,
provided support to the Space and Naval
Warfare Systems CommandMarine Mam-
mal Unit using LARCs and small boats
to recover practice rounds and targets for
the exercise.
Crossing the pristine Hawaiian beaches
on their way to work presented a unique
challenge. A mother sea turtle decided to
lay her eggs on the beach next to the only
landing zone for the detachments equip-
ment. Base environmentalists put up a
safety barrier, and with careful maneuver-

ing, day-to-day operations were not af-
fected. The divers were happy to report
that after seven weeks of anticipation, all
the hatchlings made it safely to the
ocean.
Detachment Charlie worked six days a
week to take advantage of the favorable
weather conditions, completing more than
170 dives totaling more than 70 hours of
bottom time to ensure that the range
would be ready for the exercise.
Our Seabee divers performed a variety
of tasks, fromdrilling stabilization points,
replacing zinc anodes and placing hun-
dreds of pieces of split pipe to protect the
sensitive acoustic range cables from the
sea state, said Construction Electrician
2nd Class (SCW/DV) Daniel Lehne.
During the winter months, the rough
wave action will move the cable across the
sand, rock and coral, stripping off the
protective covering, potentially destroying
the cables, he explained. The work we
do here saves the Navy hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in maintenance costs
compared to a civilian company and mil-
lions in replacement costs if the system
were to go down.
Steelworker 1st Class Nate Terrazas
added, This is the premier training range
for the Pacific, and the work we do here
contributes directly towards fleet readi-
ness.
Lt. Sam Williams, a Naval Air Systems
Command Integrated Project Team Lead
overseeing work on the range, agreed that
UCT-2s work extended the life of the
range and saved the Navy money.
The alternatives would be decreased
training capability or a total range refur-
bishment, which could cost the Navy up-
wards of $50 million,he said. The UCT-
2 skill set is unique because the unit has
expertise in both construction and deep
sea diving. This allows the unit to perform
quality construction work in the hazard-
ous ocean environment.
The training range was the first stop on
a six-month deployment that is taking
UCT-2 from Kauai to Japan to the South
Pacific and Navy Region Northwest.
